Make sure you following @reveal so you get the latest when it drops, and while you're waiting, listen to the award-winning series "40 Acres and a Lie" about an often-misunderstood govt program that gave formerly enslaved people land, only to take it back.

Exclusive insights about the person who is apparently now atop Musk’s DOGE, from @reveal:.
Before she was revealed as DOGE acting administrator, @reveal spoke with Amy Gleason in 2022 about her role as the US's primary problem solver during Covid. That conversation now offers key context to Gleason's questionable work leading DOGE.
