Pressure works.

“The Social Security Administration abandoned plans it was considering to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims after The Post reported that #Musk ’s DOGE team was weighing the change” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/12/social-security-phone-doge-elderly-disabled/

Musk is after the $2.6 TRILLION trust fund.

@GottaLaff “Preventing fraud should be celebrated, not criticized.” Sure dude, and if DOGE ever actually FINDS any fraud, we'll give them a thumbs-up (which is much more than they deserve).

In the meantime, taking a chainsaw to entire agencies just so you can sit back and watch how many people DIE? No fuck that, come back when you can find someone who actually knows what they're doing.

@GottaLaff
So some unknown, unvetted, non-clearanced youngsters in the DOGE brigade are now setting national policy? What happened? Did grannie call one of them and tell them to stop with the bullshit? <snark>
