Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: March 26, 2025
“Today, the Court issued clarifying guidance about the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) related to DOGE employees and DOGE activities at the Social Security Administration (SSA). Therefore, I am not shutting down the agency. President Trump supports keeping Social Security offices open and getting the right check to the right person at the right time. SSA employees and their work will continue under the TRO.”

Please don’t act like you care and that our well being is at all important to you. You greedy jerks are salivating at the mouth for our hard earned entitled money. Your need for more and more is killing people daily!! Shame on you all!!

Praise Hod, thank You Lord… Social Security was there for me when I really need them. They were kind, patient, informative and very supportive. This administration is a blessing to this country of the United States. I pray in the name if Jesus, that the people of Doge and the president of the United States of America would leave this institution alone. We the people of the United States of America paid into the Social Security and Medicare Fund since our very first jobs as teenagers. When I worked my very first job with the Summer Youth Program, Social Security and Medicare was taking out of my check and I didn’t mind because it was going towards all of our retirement, disability and medical funding later on I’m the future. How can people who never paid into this financial benefit decide to cut it or take away what we, the citizens who were born in this country worked hard and paid into? How??? Make it make sense! How can Republicans whose families as well as themselves have a heart to cut or take away what we the people of these United States earned and worked hard to contribute to since teenagers. How?? Think about it. How can the young people of today, who are born in this country stand proud to be an American when it’s leaders seek to cut down everything they dream to build and become and then peacefully and comfortably retired and enjoy their life and family when the leaders of this country threaten and seek to snatch it from them.
Make it make sense!!
Thank you for allowing me to to express my views and concerns.
Love you all. May God have Mercy on us.

Dudek,
You DO NOT have the power to shut down Social Security Administration. The American people will now allow it.

Why would anyone even consider shutting down this agency?? I have worked and paid into this my entire working life. Some unelected loser isn’t going to take my money I worked for!

I found this statement really troubling. If it is designed to put me at ease, it failed miserably.

I have great respect for Federal/Government employees, often doing thankless tasks for little reward. The same is not true for DOGE; baseless claims and wielding a chainsaw to cut employees is not the American way. The rumors and comments are creating a lot of fear in people who rely on the social security that they paid into. Make it better, or leave it alone please.
What does an unelected billionaire understand about this? As for comments about fraud – really, you think that’s a major problem in the public sector? No, it isn’t. Sure, there is waste and inefficiency, but that’s more about the overall bureaucracy, old technology, and probably bad management. You don’t fire inspector generals if you are looking for fraud – more likely you are planning to create fraud easier.
Social security was designed to prevent suffering – why must be viewed so negatively?

This implies that DOGE employees will resume their activities that interfere with the SSA getting the right check to the right person at the right time as soon as the TRO expires. Also Social Security offices may close at that time.

I have has little sleep since DOGE has been in treasury. I am glad they were legally blocked as they are NOT trustworthy. And off SS. MY check has never been late. I need that check to be there otherwise paying for living will be impossible. What an unfair burden for the people to have to deal with because of these impatient unqualified DOGE people. They have a smash and grab mentality and I would not trust these people with my data. I feel they already have done damage. I want it investigated with them in front of congress giving testimony. They have no expertise in government and the government was Never Meant for privatization. We must have checks and balances and we must have oversight. Our IG’s have been good. they should be brought back. We don’t like all this secrecy, DOGE’s figures change constantly and way too many reckless mistakes. I hate what they are doing and I resent our representatives have been left out of this. I don’t like hearing that ELon is threatening our representatives if they don’t vote the way he wants. They are voting for the people who elected them. THIS THUGERY IS INFURIATING. AND IT MUST STOP. Elon is treating our judges with such disrespect. If you don’t like our laws and constitution then you should not be here. You make billions off our government and look at his greedy selfish behavior. And I do not want to see any funds put in crypto. That is a fraud! I have no trust in Elon and his DOGE!
