On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

📌 Key facts about measles: Recent social media posts claiming "benefits" of natural measles infection are dangerous misinformation. The science is clear: measles is a serious disease that suppresses the immune system for 2-3 years after infection, making people vulnerable to other illnesses.

This diminishes the archivist profession by putting someone who knows nothing about the career in that position. Plus they plan to destroy relevant documents and artifacts so future Americans won’t understand the present as the present chaos it is. This shows who holds information has the power.

New—Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner stepped down bc she wouldn't comply w/ DOGE. Lower-level staffer Leland Dudek replaced her. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post (pre-promotion) shared w/ me, he said he was placed on admin leave bc he "circumvented the chain of command" to help DOGE.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Measles is surging, and the guy in charge of public health is RFK Jr.—an anti-vaxxer. Meanwhile, Trump is gutting the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Watch and share this. Know the symptoms. Because the people who should be protecting and informing us just got fired. (Video 🧵)

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

In 2023, the budget for Medicaid was $871.7 billion. In 2025, Republicans propose to cut that budget by $880 billion. It could not be more obvious that they want people to die.
