How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS.

They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news.

Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED.

For those who didn’t vote/voted third party because they insisted that regarding Palestine Trump’s America was as bad as Harris’ America, well I can guarantee that Harris wouldn’t have stripped legal immigrants of their legal status for peacefully protesting.

Also where is Jill Stein now?

COBOL is a genuinely archaic programming language. But trying to do this in a rush is INSANE. And you can bet a huge, huge number of things are going to break. Even in very simple code bases, understanding the levels of dependencies built up over decades takes a huge amount of time.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

This is a big fucking deal.

Trump has installed a DOGE operative as the new Chief Information Officer of the Social Security Administration in an apparent effort to evade a federal court order blocking DOGE affiliates from accessing databases containing the sensitive personal information of millions of Americans.

Yeah, as a federal employee I can say that these Democrats voting yes did not make my life better or help my agency. Leave the martyr bs at the door. Federal employees wanted Democrats to show a spine and they failed.

ATTN: @schumer.senate.gov

Hey Democratic leaders, you say you care about federal workers. Well, listen to them. They are telling you to vote no to the cloture. So maybe stand with your civil servants and don’t co-sign the tyranny.

Introducing: The Musk Watch DOGE Tracker New tool reveals Musk has overstated verified DOGE savings by at least 92%

1. The DOGE website is garbage.

The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided.

And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract.

So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

“The President Wanted It and I Did It”: Recording Reveals Head of Social Security’s Thoughts on DOGE and Trump In a recording obtained by ProPublica, acting Social Security Commissioner Leland Dudek portrayed his agency as facing peril, while also encouraging patience with “the DOGE kids.”

The plan was always..
1. Lie
2. Break
3. Steal

1. In an affidavit, a former senior official at the Social Security Administration detailed how deputies for Elon Musk forced their way into the agency and gained access to sensitive databases

The official warned that careless actions by DOGE could lead to interruptions in Social Security payments

Former Social Security official describes hostile takeover by Musk team DOGE officials also put millions of taxpayers’ private data at risk and refused to say why they needed access to it, the official says.

Unvetted DOGE personnel installed themselves in leadership positions at SSA in a hostile takeover, unlawfully seized the confidential records of millions of Americans, and risk the interruption or termination of disability, retirement, and survivor’s benefits.

Thanks Jess for reporting. It’s a really big deal that Americans need to know about. Millions of Americans sensitive information is now in the hands of DOGE and they can disrupt SSA payments and systems. WaPost is also covering this story.

WATCH: 'See you in court,' Maine's governor tells Trump on transgender athlete ban President Donald Trump sparred with Maine's Democratic governor during a meeting of governors at the White House on Friday, with Gov. Janet Mills telling the Republican president, “We'll see you in co...

SSA canceled two contracts that would have ended enumeration at birth rights for Maine residents days after the governor threatened to sue over Trans athlete ban.

They reversed the decision but the fact remains they were holding an entire state’s social security rights hostage to retaliate.

What is the end game with social security? First, lie to justify and then dismantle. Death by a thousand cuts so they can loot the trust fund and then privatize.

Here’s another one:

Social Security was already dealing with backlogs. Employees warn job cuts could worsen services. "We are already short-staffed as it is,"one Social Security Administration employee said of the agency's plans to slash its workforce.

This is definitely happening. Media coverage is getting buried

I prepared my children for a Harris win. I did not prepare them for her loss. In the wake of Trump’s win, my kids could not understand why adults could not accomplish what they had been preaching.

“It’s OK to work for a dream, and it’s OK to cry and lament when that dream is deferred….when injustice runs amuck, we are teaching them to know that they are not alone. There will always be people who will clasp arms with them and collectively refuse.”

I’m still trying to figure out how Bluesky works. How do people amass followers?

Not that I have anything that particularly interesting to say…

Yup, 100%

If you wouldn’t trust a rando with zero experience or credentials to pilot a plane just because they’ve watched YouTube videos and “done their research,” you probably shouldn’t trust them for medical or public health advice either.

Elected officials are chosen by the people who vote. Not voting or protest voting signals that our apathy or principles are more important than the actual outcome, our democracy, or the rights of other Americans. That to me is problematic, regardless of whether these actions impacted the election.
