Well, well, well. It appears the executive branch appointed Amy Gleason as an “expert/consultant” to HHS on March 4, in an effort to bolster their claim that DOGE itself was not acting at HHS. This evidence of when she was appointed was made public via litigation. Full text at https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.277150/gov.uscourts.dcd.277150.65.1_1.pdf. Case is AFL-CIO v. Dep’t of Labor, docket at https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69613359/american-federation-of-labor-and-congress-of-industrial-organizations-v/

@heidilifeldman I hate to be obtuse...but I am. What is the significance of the date? Why does it matter if Gleason is part of HHS, and why should she have been named a consultant before the admin claimed she was leading DOGE?
In normal democratic country this would be perceived as a lie and frowned upon by publ8c (with severe consequences)
Unfortunately USA are not in any shape or form democratic or even normal
