President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Social Security Administration on Tuesday distanced himself from some of the actions taken at the agency by officials linked to Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.

Frank Bisignano, a veteran Wall Street executive and GOP donor tapped to lead the agency delivering $1.5 trillion annually to more than 70 million people, told the Senate Finance Committee when asked about DOGE's work on agency systems and databases that he will conduct a "total review" of the activities at the SSA if he is confirmed.

He also denied ever having spoken to acting SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek, who is reportedly aligned with Musk's team efforts, and initially said he has not been a part of any management and policy discussions with the DOGE teams.

Last week, Dudek briefly threatened to shut down the agency after a federal judge blocked DOGE officials from accessing databases, only relenting when the judge issued a clarification saying his understanding of the ruling was "incorrect."

The PEOPLE want you to delete the data you stole, get out of the system, and leave it alone.

But THESE idiots want to raid it for the billionaires and then eliminate it. They have been trying to do that since 1935 - 90 years.

1. Bullshit.

Has anyone received any of the SSA’s recent emails? They are Orwellian and are trying to gaslight us.

2. LIAR

3. He runs the company that makes and manages most point-of-payment machines for credit cards.

Think about it: in a very short time he has revolutionized how we use money. Cash has become almost obsolete.

This suggests he has the ABILITY to make SS efficient and responsive. I suppose that means he also has the ability to make it completely non-workable in short order.

I wonder which he'll do.

4. I started watching the hearing on C-Span today.

I need to finish watching it. But I can report already - he was BSing at the Senate hearing. He is pals w/ Mark Russo - one of the vulture equity guys already sniffing around to privatize.

5. Hardly matters when the program is now falling apart due to their new in-person verification bullshit.

Which frankly just feels like a backdoor way of destroying it.
