Of course, if Amy Gleason is the administrator of DOGE, as my colleagues and others have now confirmed, the questions now are when she was named and whether she has actual authority or is a conduit for Musk. DOJ lawyers couldn't answer either question in court yesterday.

Eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the group chat

Fun fact: An actual “doge” was an oligarchic ruler of medieval Venice — appointed FOR LIFE by a cabal of insiders, totally unaccountable to the people or anyone but a tiny group of fellow super-wealthy elites.

Remember when Republicans wanted to impeach Bill Clinton because big donors got to stay a night in the Lincoln bedroom? Seems quaint now.

Who is formally in charge of the U.S. DOGE service? At a recent hearing, no one—not even the Trump administration’s own lawyers—seemed to know. My piece on what happened when Judge Kollar-Kotelly grilled a government lawyer on unresolved questions about DOGE: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/who-...

Essential. Endangered. Extremely chatty. The characteristic howls of Red Wolves usually include a series of barks, yips, + sometimes growling, especially when voiced in alarm. The Red Wolf’s howl sounds somewhat similar to a coyote’s, but is often lower pitched + lasts longer.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that if Elon Musk really wanted to cut waste, he'd start with subsidies to Big Oil, loopholes to hedge funds, and all the waste from the Pentagon. Stop squeezing the little people, FFS.

Dear media, They aren’t “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse” they are cutting programs and agencies they disagree with ideologically. DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS and stop parroting their talking points.

Here comes the phony numbers to sell the deal. The illusory smoke and mirrors of waste, fraud, abuse, and future tariffs. It’s 1981 and David Stockman redux.

Thanks for posting here Chris. How do you think his peers and people that report to him will respond ? And if I’m asking this wrong, please correct me, but if he makes a ridiculous decision to bring charges, which court is it appealed to if he wins the case ? All insights welcome

This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant. snyder.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...
