A few days ago, Georgia State Election Board Vice Chair Janelle King had Georgia election denier Garland Favorito on her podcast, telling him she "love[s] ... that you give us the full picture" & defending him being called a conspiracy theorist, saying, "You should all be conspiracy theorists."

One of my longtime grievances about media stories about decisions, and about allegations and denials in the course of litigation, fail to link to the underlying documents. Especially when in federal court, where CourtListener.com makes access easy. Harder here, where cases are in NY State court

I got really annoyed that so many stories about the "Cornell 7" case don't link to the underlying court documents. So I compiled the key filings from Jane Doe's civil suit and from a separate suit brought by one of the accused. Read them here: annabower.substack.com/p/read-the-c...

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.
