DoomsdaysCWA list of the #SocialSecurity offices across the US expected to close this year

WASHINGTON (AP) — "Dozens of Social Security Administration [#SSA] offices across the country are slated to close this year due to actions taken by #ElonMusk’s Department of Government Efficiency as part of the #Trump administration’s unprecedented effort to shrink the size of government.
"#DOGE has published a list of nearly 800 federal real estate leases that it is seeking to cancel. The Associated Press has obtained an internal planning document from the General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, which shows when nearly two-thirds of those cancellations are expected to go into effect.
"The offices are closing despite a new requirement that tighter identity-proofing measures be put in place to prevent fraud and abuse. These steps will require millions of recipients and applicants to visit agency field offices rather than interact with agency employees over the phone.
"The AP also obtained more information about each lease on DOGE’s list through other publicly available datasets, including their addresses, the dates the leases had started and were originally expected to expire, and the landlords who own the properties."

A list of Social Security offices expected to close in 2025
Twenty-six Social Security Administration offices across the country are expected to close this year, due to actions taken by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE has published a list of nearly 800 federal real estate leases that it is seeking to cancel. The Associated Press has obtained an internal planning document from the General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, showing when nearly two-thirds of those cancellations are expected to go into effect. Of the 47 Social Security offices listed for closure, only some had anticipated dates that those lease cancellations would take effect, with 26 set for later this year.

Trump’s interim Social Security chief says he wants to turn off the program if Musk and DOGE can’t access Americans’ most sensitive data
by Andrew Perez, March 21, 2025
"Donald Trump’s interim Social Security chief suggested Thursday night he will effectively turn off the agency that manages the essential safety net program for seniors and the disabled, if Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can’t access the non-anonymized sensitive personal information and data of hundreds of millions of Americans, based on a judge’s order.
"'My anti-fraud team would be DOGE affiliates. My IT staff would be DOGE affiliates,' said #LeeDudek, acting Social Security Administration (#SSA) commissioner, arguing the order was too broad, according to Bloomberg News. 'As it stands, I will follow it exactly and terminate access by all SSA employees to our IT systems,' he said, adding: 'Really, I want to turn it off and let the courts figure out how they want to run a federal agency.'
"Dudek’s threat to block SSA employees from using the agency’s IT systems — a move that could halt #SocialSecurityPayments — came in response to a judge’s temporary restraining order in a case brought by the #AFLCIO #LaborUnion. The order bars Social Security Administration officials from allowing DOGE, including Musk, and the SSA’s DOGE team to access personally identifiable information. It also directs Musk and DOGE to delete from their possession all non-anonymized personal data, and bars them from having access to SSA computers or code.
"Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander wrote that the SSA had likely violated administrative and privacy laws when it gave DOGE 'unbridled access to the personal and private data of millions of Americans, including but not limited to Social Security numbers, medical records, mental health records, hospitalization records, drivers’ license numbers, bank and credit card information, tax information, income history, work history, birth and marriage certificates, and home and work addresses.'
"She added that the 'defendants, with so-called experts on the DOGE Team, never identified or articulated even a single reason for which the DOGE Team needs unlimited access to SSA’s entire record systems, thereby exposing personal, confidential, sensitive, and private information that millions of Americans entrusted to their government.'"

#Turkey detains 37 over 'provocative' social media posts following arrest of #Istanbul mayor
Thousands rally outside Istanbul city hall for 2nd night over mayor’s arrest
by Mehmet Guzel and Susan Frazer, March 20, 2025
ISTANBUL (AP) — "Thousands of people gathered outside Istanbul’s city hall for a second consecutive night on Thursday to rally against the arrest of the city’s mayor, a prominent contender against President #RecepTayyipErdogan, which many view as a politically driven attempt to eliminate a key rival from the next presidential race.
"Mayor #EkremImamoglu was arrested after a dawn raid on his residence on Wednesday as part of investigations into alleged corruption and terror links, escalating a crackdown on opposition figures and dissenting voices. Several other prominent figures, including two district mayors, were also detained.
"The detention of a popular opposition leader deepened concerns over #democracy and sparked #protests in Istanbul and elsewhere, despite a four-day ban on #demonstrations in the city and road closures. "

Thousands rally outside Istanbul city hall for 2nd night over mayor's arrest
Thousands of people have gathered outside Istanbul’s city hall for a second consecutive night to rally against the arrest of the city’s popular mayor. Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested Wednesday as part of investigations into alleged corruption and terror links. Many view the arrest of a prominent contender against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a politically driven attempt to eliminate a key rival from the next presidential race. The government strongly rejects the claim insisting that the courts operate independently. On Thursday authorities detained 37 people for allegedly sharing “provocative” content on social media following Imamoglu's arrest.

❗️Georgia's ruling party announced the start of impeachment proceedings against President Salome Zurabishvili. The reason for this was her foreign trips, which were not approved by the government, as required by the Georgian Constitution. Earlier, Zurabishvili had planned a tour of Europe to support the country's bid for EU membership. She also wanted to visit Ukraine on Independence Day, but the government banned her. @liveukraine_media
