Trump’s Social Security chief has backed down from his threat to "shut down the agency" after a federal judge rebuked him for misinterpreting a court ruling that limited billionaire Elon Musk's access to agency information.

It just blows me away how so many of these people are more than willing to destroy the lives of millions of hardworking people, and not even bat an eye 😢
🔥 So Trump’s Social Security chief tried to SHUT DOWN the agency — all to protect Elon Musk?! This is a direct attack on working Americans. They’ll take YOUR money and give it to billionaires — unless we stop them. FIGHT BACK NOW — SHARE THIS! 🚨
He didn’t “misinterpret” the court ruling. He tried to muscle the court by threatening to harm everyone on SS! The Court then put him on notice they saw through his bs & that’s why he backed down!
And that dear folks is the caliber of people that are running shit in the gov't. They are morons, idiots, low IQ twits and all around clueless dipshits!
Every single Trump administration appointee has benefitted from an affirmative action program in favour if med of under-performing, under-achieving, mediocre, white, drunks, fascists and pedos.
Shutter the Social Security Administration and the over 65 crowd might bring sledgehammers to Washington DC and raze it to the ground beginning with the White House. #TearDownMAGA
Agree. So stupid they probably don't realize how big the fight's going to be. These high rollers have misinterpreted the motivational value of one missed SS payment to low income seniors with short remaining life spans and little to lose.
My dad just passed away and now my mom will receive his benefits and surrender hers. I think that’s what they meant by dead people are receiving Social Security. If that’s the case, there’s going be a lot of poor widows out there.
I have a heart condition & a seizure disorder. I was on SSI under my own name & number, but when my father died, I began receiving his benefits under his number. I'm wondering if they think my dead father is receiving SS when it's going to be under my name but his number.
The guy was just using a bogus argument taught to him by bondi, et al. Bluster, bluster, bluster... scare the sh*t out of as many people as you can. A key strategy to weaken and disarm us.
Oh, undoubtedly they're going to try to shut it down. They might even succeed. But then the grey haired folks are gonna revolt "like nothing you've ever seen before"

Because regardless what the billionaires believe, if claimants don't get their payments timely, SSA offices will look like the Tesla dealership in Vegas.
When there's a problem with any company, people go to the place where they have access. If checks don't go out claimants will go to the SSA field offices because they're the face of the agency. If the FOs can't pay them there will be violence. Claimants won't care who's actually responsible.
I stand by my comment. It would be self defeating to tear or burn down offices that handle your claim. What's gonna happen when they back down? And they will back down.
I don't disagree. Noted what will happen, not advocating for it. The FOs are the face of SSA and they're the ones who will deal with the claimants because of missed checks. If you don't know, claimants have been violent at FOs for less. That's why some have metal detectors and all have armed guards.
Yeah, I get it. It's just that I would hope that the anger would be more targeted at the people responsible. The people responsible would love to see all SSA FO's burnt down. We shouldn't give that to them.
You know those old comedies where the car is zooming down the hill and the person is trying to stop it but the wheel and brake aren't connected to anything? Those are the judges
It’s still an integral part of project 2025 so I expect the closure will happen much like USA ID, voice of America, and the United States Department of education
While I'm glad to see that the judge's rebuke produced the desired outcome, it's just a matter other time before this administration makes a full-on assault on Social Security!
I'll second that! I told Elon to keep his mitts off of Social Security,or bad things would happen! Now look where we are! Elon, I think you're in worse shape than you've before! What happened buddy, piss some people off?
I am not a senior yet, Ma'am. I am a military veteran with 100 disability so I get SSI. If I can't pay my bills, then I have no reason to allow those who wish to take away what I earned waste oxygen.
I am a military veteran. Troops have families who depend on SS. I would imagine that many would take an attack on their family members personally. Congressional representatives have families outside of DC.
Every time I hear of another asinine move from the tRUMP regime, I'm reminded of the CareerBuilder commercial with the chimps running the office and rotating the profit charts to match their "expectations."
🤣 GET BENT YOU P.O.S. The people on both sides of the spectrum will unite when it comes to Social Security and Medicare /Medicaid HANDS OFF unless you want to see above and beyond the 3.5% threshold of Americans in the street calling for your blood
Governments are instituted in capitalist societies to do the things that are necessary, but unprofitable. Trump is a perfect mismatch to run a government. He can only see ways to extract a profit from an enterprise, or shut it down.

"Trump's Social Security chief has chosen not to commit suicide by Granny"
he has declined the rare opportunity to be beaten to death by a walker.
Can’t believe liars, felons, rapists.
There is, apparently, no bottom to this barrel.
He reacted with threats in bad faith to intimidate her.
He's been fantasizing about shutting it down

Clearly he is absolutely an idiot for thinking we didn’t need our monthly check.
We would be homeless and starve.
They are forming the strategy to stop sending checks.

Trump is trying to destroy the Judicial system too.
