Summary
The White House has named Amy Gleason as the acting administrator of DOGE, ending weeks of speculation.
Gleason, a former Obama-era “Champion of Change” and digital services expert, previously worked in Trump’s and Biden’s administrations. However, her appointment raises legal concerns since she has not been confirmed by the Senate.
Critics argue she is a figurehead while Elon Musk, whom Trump publicly put “in charge” of DOGE, wields real power.
Lawsuits challenging DOGE’s authority continue as Musk prepares for Trump’s Cabinet meeting.
The lawsuits start coming, and they don’t stop coming…
MSM media isn’t paying much attention, but federal unions have been almost constantly firing lawsuits, and adding to existing lawsuits. Class actions are growing even among people who weren’t fired.
As much as trump and Elmo hate unions…
You’d think they’d have been aware that the multiple unions representing federal employees know the laws and regulations about federal employees better than literally anyone else.
They’re not scrambling to respond, they’re calming pulling prepared forms out of cabinets and following plans that have existed for decades. Not because they thought this would happen, because there was a nonzero chance it might eventually happen at some point.
Everytime this admin tries to pivot and tries a “new” idea they just thought of, union lawyers just pull the next form out.
Because they knew what a hostile admin would/could try and how to stop it.
So there is still hope for USA?
There’s always hope…
What we hope for will change, and how difficult it will be to get that will change.
But there’s literally always hope. It’s why fascists spend the majority of their time telling people there’s no hope.
If there was no point in us fighting back, they’d encourage it because it would be funny to them to see us fail. That’s the type of people they are.
Literally everything Elmo and Trump did with the “fork” was designed to convince federal employees there was no hope so they should take the fork…
If they could just fire the federal employees that wanted to, they wouldn’t have offered 7 months pay and benefits for resigning
Americans are making a frankly terrible showing fighting Trump, but America is not even close to too far gone. Trump’s de-democratization of America is still in the phase where if you just give him a good scare with a mass demonstration he’ll back down
