Wow, Wyden catches the SSA nominee Frank Bisignano in a lie in his first question. He asked Bisignano if he was involved in discussions about DOGE? Bisignano said no. But Wyden has a statement from a senior official that Bisignano insisted "on personally approving DOGE hires at the agency."

This is not even remotely true.
As of March 10th, only one cabinet nominee has been unanimously “yes”voted by Dem senators; Marco Rubio. Six nominees have received no support from Dems or Dem caucusing independents. John Fetterman and four other Dems lead supporting votes at ten.
Bisignano: I spent my career protecting PII at the largest institutions, I'll ensure it’s protected
W: Will you lock DOGE out?
B: I'll do whatever required to protect information
W: Will you put it in writing?
B: idk what lock DOGE out means
Also claimed that wait times on the phone could be brought down from 20 minutes to 1 minute
And of course the wait times on the phone are going to be brought down because they say they're going to discontinue phone service completely!
