Statement from Acting Commissioner Dudek about Temporary Restraining Order
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.”

The government cannot find the Birth Certificate it sealed in a sealed adoption 65 years ago. As a result, I have not been able to renew a state ID that expired several years ago. Exactly how am I supposed to verify identity without the Birth Certificate that is required for the state ID, Driver’s License, and Passport?

Trump’s appointed acting SSA commioner tried to shut down the agency and stop payments to all Social Security beneficiaries.
Trump and DOGE will do anything to pay for the $4.5 trillion tax cut for the rich.
DOGE will definitely go after Medicaid and Food Stamps next.

We have paid into this system our whole lives, and our employers have done the same. This is our hard earned money that is set up as a life saving safety net for hundreds of millions of people. Stripping us of our earned SS benefits is not an option. Please do not even consider an outcome where our personal money is taken without our consent.

It’s ludicrous that this dimwit thought he could shut down the Social Security agency on his own because he couldn’t understand a simple directive to keep DOGE out of our data.

Thanks for nothing.

STOP THIS MESSING AROUND WITH THE LIFELINE OF MILLIONS OF AMAERICANS!
I am 70. I depend on Social Security. How many emails and texts did I receive in one day re Social Security? 7 or 8.
Democrats sending texts asking me to donate to SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY.
I’ve been paying for it my whole life. You are talking about robbing me. We, our children, and our grandchildren, are EVERYONE IN THE U.S. WE ARE AN ARMY. STOP IT!

I would like to know by what right you think that you should shut down the Social Security Administration? I and my husband, like millions of others have worked all of our lives and paid into the SSA, along with matching payments from our respective employers. I can understand an in depth examination of death records for payments still being made. But you have no right to shut down this agency, and deprive Americans of the retirement benefit that we have paid into all of our lives. This makes me incredibly angry that you would even consider such an outrageous move.
Americans are not going to take kindly to being treated like we live in Russia, or China.

None of this would have happened if Americans didn’t hire a felon and a sexual abuser as president. The sexual battery tells you that this person has no respect for other people. The felonies tell you this man has a criminal mind. The sad thing is that almost half the country can’t see it. Americans in a terrible way. The world is in a terrible way. one of the qualifications to be president is you can’t be a felon. No big business allows it. Those who can see this need to speak out.

I’m all for accountability and positive change. I’m so thankful for the TRO and that the offices will remain open. There maybe problems in office efficiency and mismanagement in areas. But I know first hand that the greater majority of work done there is to help the most vulnerable in our Country. What would a Country who claims to be a GOD fearing Country be if it would ignore the principles laid out in the Bible about caring for the most vunerable in it’s society?
The vast mast majority of people on Social Security rely on the easiness of accessibility to these services due to the fact that everything in their life has become a struggle from the simple things of caring for ones person like eating, walking, dressing, grocery shopping, and transportation. Not to mention the ability to afford the technology such as internet and phone is a struggle in it’s self, let alone keeping up with how to use the technology. The seniors and disabled subsidized HUD community in a rural area that I live in would be hurt by this action of shutting down services. The people hear pay 30% of their monthly income in rent leaving them still struggling to afford food and need to use a food pantry. Most don’t have internet access and are struggling to adjusting to the constant changes to Medicare and Health coverage to keep recieving care. All I’m saying It’s exhausting and stressful to be old and sick and every door all at once becomes harder to open and they’re many of us out here. I had a 401k it was small but when I first got sick I used it to pay bills my insurance didn’t while all while struggling to stay employeed untill I couldnt physically work anymore and my 401k was exahusted. If it was for my son who worked 2 jobs for 6 years and put his life on hold ( I mean his whole life but God rewarded him with a good loving patient wife a modest home and gave him one child a son at 35 years old for his compassion) while I fought for my SSDI that when awarded and recieved no back benefits I’d be homless and dead by now, so please error on mercy and compassion when it comes to these services while reviewing the operational process and those who receive your sevices. How can the Lord bless a Country that puts it’s self above his greatest commandment and does not take time to look and work with compassion?

While I empathize with your situation, there is someone who does not. He even admitted to it. Heartless ppl do heartless things. People like US are merely pawns in the game for power and control. I would not live without my SS each month. I cannot wait for these villains to get their comeuppance!!!
