Because she isn’t running DOGE. They just lie with impunity. They don’t care, they know the rules don’t apply to them. Nothing will happen to these people or Trump.
tfw you ad-lib a name and it's accidentally a real person
or, alternatively, it's the plot of the movie Blank Check, and there were framed photos of Amy Poehler and Jackie Gleason in the room when she was announced
She and I went to the same college in the same major and graduated within a year of each other. She’s from Nashville and we’ve worked In the same industry/similar roles. I’m certain I know her but not really. She’s not qualified to be in charge of firing thousands of government employees.
I’ve read her entire LinkedIn. It reads like an empathetic human who cares about improving healthcare bc she has a child that it’s greatly impacted. I have zero doubt she has virtually nothing to do with DOGE cuts.
This woman and I have SOOOO much in common. I think we would actually be friends IRL. She doesn’t appear to be a MAGA. She may be R but not die hard from what I can tell. I’m actually finding it hard to believe that I don’t already know her. That’s how close our circles are.
😩 how I wish she would have said “I have no idea what you’re talking about” when she found out from a journalist she was supposedly acting administrator
It would be nice to think that lying to a judge would result in a penalty. But I keep wondering who's going to enforce the judge's ruling? Would this DOJ enforce a ruling against their own lawyers who were undoubtedly following orders from the top?
So the obvious question is, how do we know it's an OFFICIAL DOGE staff list? I'm not doubting you, but the question is going to be asked. Will there be an article or a post detailing how you came into possession of this list?
Fair, but without some kind of verification, the right will just deny it is real. They would do it anyways, but at least reasonable people could see that there was an attempt to be truthful.
Thirty four years in the federal courts as law clerk and trial lawyer. I couldn't square my ethical duties to the court with representation of the Government in these cases.
Delay delay delay. It is clear this is all a game to them. There will be no consequences to lying in court. They will continue to do it to buy themselves time while they continue their destruction of the USA.
Seeing how Gleason was on vacation and surprised that she was leading DOGE, not shocking.
Also not surprised EMuskie and trump would set up some random woman to take the slings and arrows directed towards DOGE without a courtesy heads up. She wasn’t even there during early heists or planning.
Try under “woman scape goat”. It’s how Yaccarino got her title. Anyway, 🍊 apparently said in SOTU that Musk is the head of DOGE so the faint is useless now 🤷♀️
25 year veteran trial lawyer here. I 100% would not want to be a DOJ lawyer in these cases. Federal Judges have no sense of humor of which they are aware and do not play these games. Someone’s likely to get sanctioned and have bar disciplinary action taken against them. Gleason goes under oath soon.
I wonder, is the DOJ going to start to assign lawyers to these cases as deliberate punishment. Can’t fire them for daring to go after Jan 6 rioters, but can make them squirm and risk sanctions…
You may be correct. I’m cautiously optimistic given the current rallying around the “law” by the legal profession and blatant attacks on the judiciary by the Cult.
Oh no. Sanctioned. These guys are definitely afraid of something that they don’t care about that has no teeth. We keep thinking that the law will bind them in any way, when the law itself has no enforcement capacity.
It’s certainly not for the court’s to just stop enforcing the law and their orders just because the DOJ won’t tell the truth and Trump & Co. stomp around and scream about impeaching them. How the hell they think that helps them is beyond me. Fed Judges take their job very, very seriously.
Democrats need to stand in lockstep against everything everything everything. There can be no daylight. Go on every news service that will have you and scream the house down about one of three things that non-feckless leadership determines and then backs up.
They need to start losing their law license.
If they can lose it misappropriating client funds, they should be losing it for enabling a coup and treason.
He means that the attorneys will get sanctioned. For any attorney with an ounce of concern about their career, that’s actually a big deal. Elon and co. won’t care, but the person with a bar license will.
I hate being all doom and gloom but in light of laws being loosened and ethics bent when it's convenient for the Trump regime, no doubt professional orgs will follow suit soon.
Did Trump pay Giuliano’s legal bills (let alone pay his own bill he owed Rudy)? No. If he wouldn’t lift a finger for his own personal lawyer why would any of them think he’d reach into his pocket for them?
I have to wonder if they are more concerned about their health and safety, and their family’s health and safety, at this point. The GOP is pretty much the mob.
It’s a big deal for lawyers. Disbarment is bad. Public Sanctions can ruin a career. Fed Judges have US Marshals to enforce certain orders. Like, go bring me Musk/Gleason/DOGE/Director/Sec. of whatever to appear in my court for testimony. They can question them too and hold them in contempt.
Actually they don't, such orders to the Marshalls go through the head of the Marshalls, a Trump appointee closely allied with Patel. Judges can't do anything except yell and wring their hands. Part of why I advocate for a judiciary controlled enforcement wing to be in the *next* Constitution.
Not likely. At least until they run out of lawyers. All one has to do is run through the list of Stop the Steal lawyers who were disbarred or severely sanctioned, or Trump’s personal lawyers who stopped representing him and didn’t get paid. The sanctions need to extend to the administration.
Bondis brother is running for head of the DC Bar and Ed Newtons asst is running for Treasurer. They’re circling the wagons and have thought of everything so be afraid.
I’m sure they’re laughing it up about how Amy has been set up as their fall guy in this. I can only imagine the conversation they had while picking her out.
Are there women at all? Must be hard to work for Musk as a woman- dismantling your own Nation *and* fending off requests to gestate a few of his mail order popcorn chicken babies named "Felisticassidus"
The suffering is still there, and even after the ceasefire, it has increased. We do not have our daily sustenance. Help us survive the horrors of war.

She's supposed to be in charge (yeah, I know she's not). She was the one who originally worked at that agency when it was U.S. Digital Service. She left them Biden was still in office, then went back and got some of Musk's lackies hired there before musk came to power.
"Around the time that Musk identified the office as a key part of his strategy late last year, the Trump transition team gained a key ally on the inside. A USDS veteran named Amy Gleason rejoined its staff as a senior adviser at the end of the
"Biden administration, described to other employees as someone who would aid the Trump transition. Gleason, who would later be named the acting administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency, recommended"
I think they grabbed a woman's name to blame - not saying she's innocent, she's got that smell about her, but where has she been through this, why didn't her name come up before and where are the ones we know were breaking the law?
They better check her at the border. The president of Mexico said most of the people carrying drugs across the border or Americans, which I do believe.There would be no problem if people stopped using
This other Amy might be all that stands between us & a successful coup. She voted the right way on Wednesday. Let’s hope she finds a spine, & John Roberts with her.
As a historian, I can see who’ll be judged harshly in 200 years. But you don’t need to be a historian to see which way the wind blows!
Trump and crew have learned the Achilles Heel of the court system is slow methodical process. So slow they can outrun the!courts until they do not matter.
On Veep they called them 'expenda-belles:' talented and dedicated young women who work in the White House or Congress and their whole function is to be falsely blamed for the mistakes of their 'betters,' and usually fired.

Almost a relief.

HACK???
DOGE are literally killing people the world over. we can’t abide by traditional ethics, when they are actively harming millions.
(apologies to Jimmy Buffet)
Someone do it
Oh, I hope to God that someone does.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
There is not a single comment, statement etc coming from them that is in fact truthful
Except that Trump & Musk must be the biggest crooks on the planet
When it leaks it will tie them up for a bit.
I’ve read her entire LinkedIn. It reads like an empathetic human who cares about improving healthcare bc she has a child that it’s greatly impacted. I have zero doubt she has virtually nothing to do with DOGE cuts.
USDS administrator was Mina Hsiang they sent her packing and Amy took her role.
Something to think about is the 130-day limit on Musk, his gigs up as a Special Government Employee on June 23, 2025.
DOGE is a Temp until July 4, 2026.
We need to stall like crazy
skills.
I'd hate for some of them to suddenly subscribe to a NAMBLA newsletter.
(and Thanks for the laugh, i need them in these dark times)
Save for a book.
It's almost like she never had anything to do with DOGE...
Also not surprised EMuskie and trump would set up some random woman to take the slings and arrows directed towards DOGE without a courtesy heads up. She wasn’t even there during early heists or planning.
I work for the feds, my name, office, salary, and contact info is all publicly available
The implications I got from Josh's post is that these are DOGE people.
What the fuck, did they lie to us?
If they can lose it misappropriating client funds, they should be losing it for enabling a coup and treason.
Thank you so much for that laugh.
(If you get it? Forward it to me. ;) )

So she got Musk employees hired so they could figure out how to gain access to critical government systems BEFORE trump and musk took office.
How can you lead a group and be on vacation when they’re starting a lot of new activity, at the same time?
Like imagine them saying she started the day of the official announcement of her name.

Is it POSSIBLE that this administration LIED?
