I keep asking by what authority are these things being done? Is someone holding a gun to someone's head?

My guess is that they will stop all survivor benefits.

This is what happens when the enemy breaches the wall.
#TrojanHorseTrump
Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the oh-so-compliant Trumpublicans are the true enemies of the people.

They really are targeting people with disabilities in myriad ways.

The Musk/Trump plan is starting to look like extreme libertarianism where good government = no government.

These program cuts shock the conscience.

It seems like a big waste of time and money!... I thought the Trump admin was after government efficiency. THIS doesn't seem like a very efficient strategy, just a distraction for something else b/c if you think about it - I'M SURE AGENCIES INVESTIGATE THESE TYPES OF THINGS before AWARDING SSI...

The Social Security Administration is efficient. Those without experience conducting layoffs with a sledgehammer mentality have only destruction as their goal.

They also canceled a lot more research through the RDRC -- see this press release calling independent research addressing various agency priorities SSA itself had identified as important "fraudulent and wasteful" https://www.ssa.gov/news/press/releases/2025/#2025-02-21

Any word on these layoffs being challenged in the courts? Please let us know.
