All of it ran through the same private Cloudflare account.
Using Cloudflare is not unusual for a federal agency.
Running forty federal websites through one personal account is another matter.
The login screen for the gated preview sites read:
loveisaskill.cloudflareaccess.com.
"Love is a skill" is a phrase Gebbia has used publicly to describe Airbnb’s design philosophy.
It is the kind of name you give an account when it belongs to you personally,
not when it belongs to the federal government,
and federal infrastructure is supposed to be owned by the agency,
not the person running it.
The people running this office are worth knowing about.
In 2025, a federal judge ordered everyone at DOGE blocked from accessing personnel records at the Office of Personnel Management.
Three people were granted exceptions and allowed to keep their access anyway.
Greg Hogan was one of them.
The administration argued he was essential to ongoing system work,
the judge accepted it,
and Hogan kept his access to federal personnel records
while every other DOGE staffer was locked out.
He has since moved from DOGE into the National Design Studio,
where he was recently promoted to run Login.gov,
the federal government’s sign-in system.
If you have ever applied for a federal job, requested your Social Security records online,
or filed for federal benefits,
you have used it.
It scans your biometrics.
More than 150 million Americans have accounts.
The man who survived the OPM injunction now runs the front door to your federal identity.
A second name from the original DOGE cohort,
Akash Bobba,
now serves as the official security contact for the US African Development Foundation,
a small independent agency the administration tried to dissolve by executive order earlier this year.
The dissolution got tied up in court,
the agency technically survived,
but most of its staff was cleared out.
Bobba now holds the credentials controlling the agency’s website,
its email, and its security configuration,
-- which means a White House staffer has full visibility into who applies for grants, who gets approved, and who inside that agency is talking to whom.
