Summary

Michelle King, the top Social Security official, resigned after refusing Elon Musk’s request for sensitive records, including Social Security numbers and bank data.

Trump appointed Leland Dudek as acting commissioner and nominated Frank Bisignano for the role.

Nancy Altman of Social Security Works condemned DOGE’s request, warning, “I don’t think you can overstate how serious this breach is.”

DOGE’s similar attempts at the IRS and Treasury have sparked legal challenges over privacy concerns.

    So, either 90% of our admin is in on the coup and just doing little grand standing actions like “refusing DOGE”, or they refused and the Russians found out about their families and sent a strongly worded letter saying it’d be a shame if something happened to their family.

    I can see option two being the more likely case, but the cynic in me is saying these people are all in on it and there will be no one but the peasants to fight for their rights.
