Sad news for @annabower.bsky.social, America (the Chatbot) doesn't know WITAOD.

Who is the administrator of DOGE?

I'll look up official sources for who currently leads DOGE and any confirmation or
appointment announcements.

What the order created

Executive Order 141587 (January 20, 2025) did not create a cabinet department. It renamed
the U.S. Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service (USDS) in the Executive Office of
the President.

That order created a USDS Administrator who reports to the White House Chief of Staff. The
same person headed a temporary organization that the order said would end on July 4, 2026.
That end date does not cancel the rest of the order.

Who holds the job now

I cannot verify a current official name from White House or Federal Register pages
checked today.

Earlier public statements conflicted:

Huh. The Daily Wire is reporting something that would be *enormous* if true, as since July the majority of all ICE arrests are people with no criminal record. I am deeply skeptical of such a massive operational change, given how the White House/DHS keep bragging about setting arrest records.

SCOOP: ICE officers across the country were told this weekend to stop arresting non-criminals, agency sources tell @realDailyWire
Now, ICE may only arrest illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges for the time being, said the sources.
The change also ends so-called "collateral arrests,
" sources said, meaning officers who find a criminal target alongside others in the country illegally may detain only the target.

The basic fact remains about the Trump Administration was asked by @annabower.bsky.social: who is in charge of DOGE? Since DOGE we have lived in unrelenting attack on the Congressional power of the purse. Ask: if Russ Vought is “pocketing” 810 million dollars of money, where is that money going?

Holy forking shirt balls

Since I was not present, I was a convenient target to be scapegoated and publicly vilified. You
recklessly agreed in court that I had committed misconduct without even asking for my account,
fully reviewing the record or briefing the law. That evening, you sent an office-wide email laying
responsibility at my feet for a felony prosecution that you personally directed over my objection
that the case was better suited to misdemeanor charges. You then publicly announced an
investigation of my conduct spanning twenty years. These inexplicable actions severely damaged
a reputation I worked hard to build over decades and have damaged my prospects for future
employment and income.

After getting conflicting answers, Rep. Beatty's attys are seeking an emergency hearing to clarify why & for how long Kennedy Center has been closed. Gates going up. Odd detail: "I saw the forklift run into and hit the pillars on the bldg several times." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I walked around to both the north and south sides of the building and saw that the
gates wrapped all around there, too, and blocked all the staircases leading to the building.
18. I also saw that there were four gates blocking the main walkway to the building.
19. I saw that the door under the scaffolding on the east side of the building was open,
but it appeared that workers were waiting for more gates to arrive to close it. Later, I saw that they
closed off that gap with gates.
20. While I was standing outside the gates, I saw forklifts bringing more gates to the
front of the building. These gates were white and orange and looked like those used on construction
sites.

Afterward, I saw a forklift carrying what appeared to be a more permanent form of
fencing drive over to the north side of the building. I saw the forklift run into and hit the pillars on
the building several times.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

In an interview later with The New York Post, diGenova responded to criticism of his management of the investigation by saying, "If you want indictments where there's no evidence, you have an ethical problem."
When reached again by the AP, diGenova said the comments were taken out of context, adding: "There's plenty of evidence in all of these cases to prove the theories of prosecution. It just takes time to get there, and some people want to get there a little faster than others - and you can't do that."
