“Are we going to break something?” acting Social Security Commissioner Leland Dudek asked, referring to what DOGE has been doing with Social Security data. “I don’t know.

“They were careless people, Tom & Daisy- they smashed up things & creatures & then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made”
Elderly & disabled people are going to die. They're going to be homeless, not eat, not get medicine. Some will commit suicide. People are nothing but a dollar sign to musk and Trump and everyone around them. It's like Stalin starving millions of people to death
“He confirmed that the DOGE team members had broad access to Americans’ Social Security numbers and other personal data, but he claimed that if they were to do anything illegal with that information, he’d have them investigated and potentially prosecuted”
SS lets people keep their own $ for later. Workers retire without fear. Cuts need for Welfare. It’s steady, not risky like stocks. It rewards hard work. It helps families when a worker dies. It is fair; everyone pays in, everyone gets out. It keeps seniors off aid. It’s not charity; it’s earned.
ALERT: Fascists & media are actively moving the Overton Window around Social Security to where recipients are scorned as 'dead weight'. They are telling young people that their future is being stolen by seniors. It's highly immoral and despicable, but they will do anything to destroy the safety net.
Decided to look at my SSN online account & print off current "benefit" to have record of what it should be. Entered Login.Gov id & it said "no such record." I'm 100% sure I used correct credentials.The directive to create new password terrified me! Fear of DOGE lockout & never having access again!
Russia used pension disinformation (social security propaganda) against Ukraine. The alleged DOGE “waste, fraud, and abuse” nonsense to justify gutting ours, is more than likely Kremlin misinformation, as well.
Yeah, no worries. They have all of your SS numbers. That’s confirmed. Don’t worry- if they did anything wrong they would be reported…. Of course, they are completely trustworthy… JFC- so pissed about the state of all the things. 🤬
Well, I guess the Supreme Court Justices are just gonna have to personally underwrite the reissuance of new socials for everyone. They did it, they fix it.
It sounds like the courts are going to let this happen if the “administrator” oks it. Dudek better have good lawyers because 78 million people are going to sue his ass.
To clarify: when Dudek told employees in an email that "elections have consequences", he was saying that Biden is responsible for the problems with the Agency.
I'm sitting here in my home with my dog. We just had like three local officials charged for accepting bribes, FED investigation, charged, and prosecuted swiftly. Im sure its happening everywhere all the time. Why is this ignored at the top?why?
He can tell that shit to the next Nuremburg, the spineless coward. Other dept heads resigned & protested, stood up for their staff & the US ppl. He will face the result of his actions. It's not going to be good, in a 'damn, I wish I was unemployed but not an total pariah for the rest of my life' way
That fund is ours! I know I've been paying into it since i was 17 yrs old. I earned that money! Doge 🤡💩 better keep their filthy hands off it or they'll feel the full wrath of a woman scorned! It won't be pretty. 🤬
Americans have every good reason that Trump's gang are just a bunch of crooks raiding our Social Security Trust Fund, right? Why don't they have trusted observers around so that we can have confidence in their work? Everyone likes efficiency. Why the strangers? Blue skies. Congress is failing us.
“Dudek was largely unknown within the agency. But in February, he suddenly vaulted into the public eye when he was put on leave for surreptitiously sharing information with DOGE. He was then unexpectedly promoted by the Trump admin to the position of acting commissioner.”
Great story. We need more nuanced reporting like this about the confused, conflicted, compromised, incompetent, human realities inside this mess. Dismissing people as monsters (or heroes for that matter) misses the point. A broken system has consequences.
Does logging on to https://www.ssa.gov give the the Social Security Administration permission to access "any information that is on or from my computer or other device,"? WTF!? This is different than their previous Terms of Service!
Logon terms: I agree that the Social Security Administration is not responsible for the improper disclosure of any information that the SSA has provided to me or any information that is on or from my computer or other device, whether due to my negligence or the wrongful acts of others.

You can also quit. I've quit jobs on the spot when asked to do something that I should not have done. It's no excuse. Legally or morally. Certainly makes me nervous as hell with someone like that at the helm.
American politicians of ALL kinds are failing miserably to consider the people they're supposed to serve, replacing the question "How can we help Americans" with "What does trump want?"
HOW DO WE STOP IT??!!
This is making me ill. People worked their whole lives counting on the money taken from their checks would help support them in their senior years.
Now Mad King Donald & the Ketamine Nazi are doing lord knows what?
Time to IMPEACH Mr Trump, all MAGA and whatever Musk is. Mr Trump and MAGA are not supporting the US constitution or our national beliefs! These people are a national disgrace! Their betrayal of our constitution, our legal system and our brave forefathers must not stand!
Maybe because cries of genocide were met with Republicans and Democrats defending those committing the genocide. And those who stood up to the genocide are being arrested, with the cover of the Democrats.
Doggie (DOGE) style management only destroys, it does not build or create. The first SS recipients to be cut off, wrongly, have appeared. There will be a lot more. Doggie style management only destroys.
Low level traitorous weasel under investigation for feeding data to the the fascist coup Muskrat, all of a sudden becomes the "acting" commissioner. He then let's random nazi DOGE incels access citizens extremely sensitive personal data. Did I get this right? This is so illegal it's hard to fathom.
A president who states, publicly, that he is going to use the DOJ to go after those he considers his enemies is not someone we should trust to use our personal data (SSI and IRS) for good and not for retribution.
There is no joy in that article. It is bonkers we are even in a place where the President can grab some rando off the streets, have him call his buddies and then ransack the government. None of this is normal, and no adults in the room are standing up to it. 🤬
All it takes is one Social Security employee with the right access to bring the whole system to its knees -- and seed the blame to Trump, Musk and the DOGE. Same with ANY complex system.

You don’t have them learn on an active system! Much less the SSA system!
I hope this worthless sweat stain of inhumanity loses everything
He deserves less than nothing

My latest social security trick is brilliant:
I close offices,
disable phone banks,
and then cut payments.
Seniors now have to travel a long way to resume benefits!
I am making millions off those social security suckers! Cash is just falling out of my pockets! Babes luv it!
Resist, every day:

"I work for the president..." NO YOU FUCKING DON'T you work for the people SERVED BY SSA.
“If they fuck with Social Security there will blood in the streets”.
That’s probably what they want.
I Was Just Following Orders
HOW DO WE STOP IT??!!
1 - "France's Macron to Host Canada's Carney in Paris on Monday." A coalition is forming against the U.S. & Russia.
2 - Macron is telling the world to stop buying american weapons and buy European instead.
3 - Putin and Trump are crapping their diappers!
Also please free Palestine before trump paves over it.
Now Mad King Donald & the Ketamine Nazi are doing lord knows what?

Most of us pay social security tax on every penny we ever earn, but not the top %.
If we eliminate this cap and cap benefits paid out, that will save social security.
