Donald Trump's interim Social Security chief suggested Thursday night he will effectively turn off the agency that manages the essential safety net program for seniors and the disabled, if Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can't access the non-anonymized sensitive personal information and data of hundreds of millions of Americans, based on a judge's order.
"We are not cutting Social Security" is hard to square with DOGE laying of thousand of Social Security employees, closing Social Security offices, and limiting phone services.
