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.

      If you’re hours away from being fired, you can control the narrative by quitting and making the first statement.

      Hmmmm I’m conflicted

      Americans in general: stop quitting, stand your ground, do the right thing

      Also Americans: I can’t be bother voting, it’s all the same after all
