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:

Trillion dollar questions: What if we view AI as competitor at the best, and at the worst a thief. Why should any company give any critical information to an untrusted AI agent? Can we sue an AI instance? How can we trust AI?

Why a U.S. Diesel Export Ban May Not Lower Prices
President Trump has said he is considering restricting overseas sales of the fuel to bring down domestic prices, but experts say the policy will have many unintended effects.

Because of course. Trump’s ballroom is a death trap. The first architect resigned because Trump refused to follow fire and life safety code. He screamed “I am the code!!!” Tear it down.

Consider the Orwellian sense where the same connotation of "fake" which Trump calls out reporters as fake news, Blanche and the DOJ are fake justice.
