I thought they backed down on this.

mattietastic.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yes, it says “briefly”. Still drastically uncool, and still a big headache for the parents whose babies were born during that period.

alexmears.bsky.social•85 days ago

I bet Susan Collins is concerned enough to do absolutely nothing

snikpoh.bsky.social•85 days ago

Not a fan, but she’s probably a big part of why the decision was reversed. Trump wants her favor so that gives her some influence.

merveille.bsky.social•85 days ago

...I mean, it made the papers here in Boston 2 weeks ago when this happened?

ralphhhenson.bsky.social•85 days ago

Actually, it wouldn't.

That's how he operates and his supporters elected him because that's what they want to see.

Petty fucker

Dudek ,is a traitor who illegally allowed musk to access SSA Dbase while claiming that he did it to help save America

Dudek has no authority to “punish” anyone

serioustalk.bsky.social•85 days ago

It should be a major scandal that the President considers a wide swath of Americans his enemies and takes pleasure in punishing them. Parents in Maine, federal workers, citizens married to immigrants, lawyers, protestors, college administrators, and on and on.

brainbolt.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yes, it should be a scandal that the (a) President has “enemies.”

Americans are not Safe in the United States either from The Convicted Felon and Rapist revenge

1000% this

Can we just say BAAAAAHHH to these people?

"end electronic death reporting"

Because if you're worried about waste and fraud, you should definitely make it harder to report when a beneficiary dies.

proverbialcrow.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thought they were trying to make that more efficient to avoid fraud, but sounds like they're trying to make it more difficult, so easier for them to allege fraud and abuse.

cicicarolee.bsky.social•85 days ago

Such fucking children!!!!

danthiell.bsky.social•85 days ago

No time for a major scandal when we're always moving on to the next should-be scandal.

kipwilliams.bsky.social•85 days ago

Move fast and be breaking something else by the time they complain about the first thing.

irish-norgie.bsky.social•85 days ago

Just bring your crying unchanged unfed newborns to your local ss office for everyone’s enjoyment.

yep.

timothy2223.bsky.social•85 days ago

They also wanted to end electronic death reporting? They had their knickers all in a twist over dead people receiving benefits -- then they turn around and try to make it happen.

robbgordon22.bsky.social•85 days ago

Where are Susan Collins's "concerns"?
Felon47 is attacking her people on a daily basis. Susan, stand up or resign.

bookjackie.bsky.social•85 days ago

I’m so disillusioned by D.C. Democrats. I don’t get it. I just don’t. They need to stand up. And they don’t. Repeatedly. Saving the Social Security Administration has got to be their priority. I continue to demand that @fetterman.senate.gov and @scanlon.house.gov DO SOMETHING.

ibipelican.bsky.social•85 days ago

This is a two year old not an adult.

trailing-indicator.bsky.social•85 days ago

Sure puts Bridgegate in perspective

mrblifil.bsky.social•85 days ago

Senate Dems don’t seem to think it’s a big deal. This pales to Musk sabotaging the process of new retirees applying for benefits. How many Senators have personally dealt with creating an account on the SSA website and arranging for their own retirement payments?

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•85 days ago

Stupid retribution tricks.

saridder.bsky.social•85 days ago

It was ended quickly

jasonpaul.bsky.social•85 days ago

They are 100% coming for birthright citizenship.

ultimapunch.bsky.social•85 days ago

Bey Maine. Collins is up in ‘26. Don’t let yourselves down again.

billejzak.bsky.social•85 days ago

Social Security has always been considered the third rail of American politics: Don't touch it. Unfortunately, the maggot-verse doesn't know that Trump is undermining Social Security administration and when checks stop going out, Trump will blame someone else and the maggot-verse will believe him.

ryanpaige.bsky.social•85 days ago

Apparently not as serious as closing some lanes on a bridge which got major media attention and criminal convictions (though overturned on appeal).

Nothing like a vengeful POS as potus. A whole new way to politick.

kccab.bsky.social•84 days ago

Well, to be fair, the only babies MAGAts care about are unborn….

dysheki.bsky.social•85 days ago

It should be. But when literally everything is a major scandal . . .

kipwilliams.bsky.social•85 days ago

Moreover, they opt to punish their enemies by doing harm to people who weren't even involved in it, because they know that these enemies actually care about others and feel hurt when they're injured.

"Haw, haw. Hit the hostage again, Luke."

drsaudi.bsky.social•85 days ago

this is a move towards ending birthright citizenship--- if you can't make end via an EO, make it harder for parents to get that paperwork, in particular parents who are undocumented or have green cards.

gyregimbalwabee.bsky.social•85 days ago

Republicans are such pieces of utter garbage.

leslieehrlich.bsky.social•85 days ago

Encouraging half a trillion dollars in tax avoidance, revealing national security secrets, forced rendition of legal residents to third countries, crippling Social Security and cutting Medicaid…

fhuddlestun.bsky.social•85 days ago

Nothing is a scandal with this bunch. The MSM refuses to cover it for fear of retaliation. The R led congress is so scared of Musk they are frozen in place, afraid to say or do anything.

orchidorkidum.bsky.social•85 days ago

Not only was Dudek on probation to be fired for handing over information he shouldn’t have, he sounds like a total incompetent to start with. Along with being an obsequious boot licker angling for more power in the admin.

This is disband the republic level shit.

miketiano.com•84 days ago

This is deliberate sabotage from a traitorous president & his complicit party. Why else would they specifically & deliberately create chaos for citizens and side with our enemies?

Don’t tell me there’s nothing that can be done. The courts can demand answers as to why they’re doing this.
