I trust nothing from anyone in Trumpfs personnel list. They are all trolls or criminals.

LOL….And all of bidens’ people were saints , including biden, yeah right.🤣🤣🤣

I agree, Thomas. The crypto currency scam they are trying to pull on us now is so corrupt. Our tax dollars need to be accounted for in a clear, transparent manner.

The oversight, accountabilityand efficiency should not be run by an outside group,DOGE, that has not been thoroughly vetted and has not received any training as to why policies and procedures were put in place. DOGE attempt at efficiency has only been to slash jobs or departments. Their misunderstanding of how government works and the various departments has resulted in chaos. No thank you!
Pamela J.
Thank you for posting this letter. While I am mindful of some political realities, your endorsement of illegal DOGE, and those you are allowing access to files, is inappropriate and gives me no confidence in your courage when the time comes where you will need it- on our behalf. “Read only” is meaningless to most people and has already been proven false in other instances. Do better. Please stay in touch especially when SS is a news item.

Thank you for the update. I will take you at your word. But why is an agency that was not vetted by congress, house and senate delving into u.s. citizens personnel records so quickly with out any public input. After all we are suppose to be a government For the people, By the people; Or do I have that wrong?
Rich B.
You do not have that wrong. Now DOGE has all of our Social Security numbers, Medicare info, IRS records, and even our addresses if they want to use them.

Your ignorance is astounding, you are just another part of the flock. People’s stupidity is the reason why America is 40th on the World Academics List. You chose to be a Democrat 1st and an American last. You have done nothing to ever question govt or hold it accountable. You willingly gave up your rights to privacy under the Patriot Act EO. You allowed Social Media Platforms to data mine your personal info that the NSA gathers and keeps in your file. Google partnered with Medical Insurance Companies giving Google to all your medical records, where was your outrage over that huh? Why haven’t you protested when the US Federal Govt chose to function as a Private Corporation for the past numerous decades, meaning they do not work for the people, they despise the people, they do not care about you at all. Govt branches are all private Corporations including Congress INC, that is why there is a 2tier system corrupt criminal officials walk free when the people have a brutal injustice system. Don’t pretend to be an American because you can cite a couple sentences of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence. You can’t pick and choose a few Rights and call yourself American. You have enabled corrupt greedy billionaires to rob and steal from actual patriotic Americans that have tried to hold them accountable. Any return of DOGE money must not go to any Democrat,Republican that has helped lawless elites keep the people in poverty and enhance themselves. You deserve a ride on a prison barge.

“URBAN” – Lawless Elites? What do you call the criminals that are running things now? Law abiding? No. At least with due process of congressional oversight there is a chance at checks and balances, which is exactly how our government was designed to work.
I am ALL for reducing waste and always have been. However, the slash and burn tactics that are being used right now are going to bite us all in the proverbial a**. Everyone should wake up and be extremely alarmed – RIGHT NOW!
Adrienne
Hopefully he can be trusted as I have no trust for the current administration.

If the acting Commissioner was appointed by Thrump I expect that ever word he utters is a lie. I believe nothing anyone in this administration has to say.
Martha W.
Agreed.
Jonathan L.
Get DOGE out!
Cinzia S.
Thank you, Acting Commissioner Dudek, for stepping in during this uncertain period in the Social Security Administration’s history. Agency transparency and preservation of benefits for those who qualify is precisely what is needed.
Tom
He did not step in. he was appointed by Trump. That alone should cause you much concern.
Susie S.
He stated that he doesn’t believe anyone really needs SS. In fact he suggested that ALL PAYMENTS be stopped and that those who make the loudest noise are the thieves. So if your granny actually lives off her SS, undoubtedly she might wonder what happened when her check or ACH isn’t deposited. But BEWARE! The thieves (per Leland) are the ones who complain first.
This guy is a privileged, nasty, uncaring SOB! HE might not need SS, but MILLIONS OF AMERICANS need every precious penny of it! Without it-can’t pay rent or food or prescriptions! Social Security is funded by the people and their employers!!
To Leland I strongly suggest he not mess with my money!
David L.
I received SSI AGED on December 17th, 2024.
By February 18th, I have a deduction of $1200.00.
How did this happen?
Tim C.
BRAVO! Its about time that the SSA be reviewed and audited from to the bottom. Sadly, the SSA is the MOST BURDENSOME AGENCY to deal with. Slow, rude, inefficient and impossible to understand. TYRANTS taking Americas money and refusing to pay it back to them what they earned.
Larry K.
From what I’ve seen so far, the SSA needed audited! Don’t think there’s anyone over 130 years old, let alone 300! This is a great start in reducing our debt!!! And for those who say they don’t believe anything this Trump administration says, I guess you were fooled by the Biden administration and wanted Kamala’s stupidity to ruin America!
Nickie D.
AGREED ! Can you even imagine what would be happening now? God blessed us for sure. I hope he will keep the blessings coming and calm down the left and try to work together for all our sakes. Let’s stop all the hating !!!
