‘A disruptive effect’: How slashing staff at the Social Security Administration is sparking fears the system could collapse

When it collapses T-Rump will say ‘See, I told you so’

(CNN) — Millions of Americans could soon feel the impact of the deep staffing cuts being planned at the Social Security Administration, which is undergoing a massive reorganization that the acting commissioner has acknowledged is being steered by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

The loss of experienced employees who manage Social Security’s fragile and interdependent web of computer systems will likely leave the agency vulnerable to technical outages and, potentially, interrupt the benefit payments that are sent to more than 73 million retirees, people with disabilities and others, Martin O’Malley, who served as commissioner under the Biden administration, told CNN.

The former Maryland governor predicted a meltdown could occur within 90 days, though other employees and experts were unsure of the timing even as they agreed the risk exists.

A Sensitive Complex Housing a CIA Facility Was on GSA’s List of US Properties for Sale

The GSA’s effort to sell hundreds of US government properties is part of a blunt reshaping of the federal government and its workforce led by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Staffed in part by young engineers with no prior experience in government, DOGE’s efforts have resulted in mass reductions in force, the effective shuttering of entirely independent agencies, and a flurry of lawsuits that seek to mitigate DOGE’s razing of the government over the past six weeks.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo

How can they keep saying that more services will be offered by reducing resources?

The VA’s chief of staff, Christopher Syrek, told top-level officials at the agency Tuesday that it had an objective to cut enough employees to return to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000. That would require terminating tens of thousands of employees after the VA expanded during the Biden administration, as well as to cover veterans impacted by burn pits under the 2022 PACT Act.

The VA last year experienced its highest-ever service levels, reaching over 9 million enrollees and delivering more than 127.5 million health care appointments, according to the agency’s figures.

‘It was messy’: Federal workers ordered to return to offices without desks, Wi-Fi and lights

It is getting repetitive reporting on all the DOGEshit… They keep this up and they gonna need the mother of DOGE poo bags!

Millions of federal workers were ordered to return to offices across the country in recent weeks, marking an end to Covid-era rules allowing more flexibility to work from home.

Many have come back to workplaces that weren’t ready for them.

In one Department of Health and Human Services office, there was no Wi-Fi or full electricity in the first hours when people returned last week.

DOGE is efficient — but not in the way Musk says it is.

Musk can poach a 2.4 BILLION dollar contract like that? And thats not a conflict of interest?

Musk said on his wall of receipts that DOGE saved $8 billion from a single canceled contract at the Department of Homeland Security. It turned out that contract was for just $8 million. A listed $1.9 billion cut at the Treasury Department actually took place under President Joe Biden. An Associated Press analysis found that 40% of contracts cut by DOGE aren’t expected to save the government any money, according to the administration’s own data.
