Summary

Leland Dudek, Trump’s newly appointed Social Security Administration (SSA) chief, has reportedly ordered plans for a 50% workforce cut, potentially closing field offices and delaying benefits.

Critics, including Rep. John Larson and advocacy groups, warn this move will disrupt services for seniors and disabled Americans. Five regional SSA commissioners are resigning in protest.

The cuts align with Elon Musk’s push for AI-driven government efficiency, despite concerns over fraud prevention and accessibility.

Critics argue this is a backdoor benefit cut to fund tax breaks for the wealthy.

    I intend to sue for everything i put in. On the grounds that them not paying me back is theft.

    Social security funds itself and they have zero right to take it to give to scumbag billionaires. Its not their money.
