This is precisely what TRUMP & MUSK *despise* about civil servants -- they work FOR THE PEOPLE, not HIM.
And many of them are persons of color or female, and those in particular are the FIRST fired (not the only ones, but they are targeted most heavily).
Dudek is protecting his own ass. He's been at SSA for years and HE KNOWS his JOB is to work FOR THE PEOPLE, not the President.
But he is doing and saying what SHitler wants to keep himself from getting fired.
This man has not one iota of principle, courage, or ethics. IF HE DID, he would not bow down to this crap, endangering the lives of MILLIONS OF AMERICANS to protect his own fat, white hiney from getting fired.
He is a VILE, USELESS, selfish, ASS.
May he burn in the hottest part of HELL for doing what he is doing.
