Matt Luby
A childhood friend and chief of staff for Vivek Ramaswamy, he has apparently stayed involved in DOGE even as Vivek departed. He is linked to DOGE in January 2025 and was spotted at the Department of the Interior in April, but it’s unclear what he was doing in the interim for DOGE (or Vivek).

Disruption:
The Washington Posts reports that both Tyler Hassen and Matt Luby are scrutinizing all grants at the Department of the Interior. They also requested a list of all grants going to Maine, perhaps to punish the state for its governor’s defiance of Trump.
