Trump Admin Threatens to Shut Down Social Security Over DOGE Ruling [View all]

The Trump administration has threatened to shut down the Social Security Administration (SSA) over a court ruling that blocks Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the personal data of millions of Americans.

President Donald Trump’s interim Social Security chief, Lee Dudek—who has been working closely with DOGE—warned that the SSA could be forced to cease operations if Musk’s team continues to be denied access to the information.
