According to later sworn testimony from Kendall Lindemann, this is the date that Steve Davis was designated as the decision-maker for DOGE as the senior-most political appointee until Amy Gleason is appointed as acting administratior of DOGE on 2025-02-18. Later news reports suggest Steve Davis continued to remain in charge.

Joshua Fox emails a few NASA administrators to introduce himself as “one of the attorneys at DOGE” and to also inform them “I just spoke to Scott Coulter about this, but I wanted to let you know that he is planning to go over to SSA tomorrow.” He includes several other DOGE leadership personnel in the email chain. It’s unclear from the message who actually made the decision that Scott Coulter would be detailed to the Social Security Administration.

Kendall Lindemann contacts the FCC on behalf of DOGE and Amy Gleason to start the process of detailing several DOGE staffers to the agency.

In a redacted email about onboarding Jordan Wick, Joshua Fox sends an email to other FCC staff introducing Kendall Lindemann as DOGE’s “onboarding/HR/personnel expert.”

Kendall Lindemann testifies in a sworn deposition for AFL-CIO v. Dep’t of Labor (D.D.C.) as a representative of DOGE after saying she had conducted extensive conversations with Amy Gleason.
