Summary:
Lawmakers are calling on the Social Security Administration chief to resign after internal emails revealed that the administration shut Maine off from the late-age insurance program in retaliation for publicly defying the MAGA agenda.
Representative Gerry Connolly called Tuesday for the resignation of Leland Dudek, the acting commissioner of social security. In a release, Connolly’s office shared emails sent by Dudek in which the DOGE acolyte inquired to his staff about which contracts Maine had with his agency and ultimately chose to cancel them, despite being aware that doing so would increase fraud and waste.
“Despite reinstating the contracts on March 7, 2025, and claiming that he did not intend to harm the people of Maine, the emails obtained by the Committee show that Acting Commissioner Dudek knew of the negative impacts of cancelling the programs and was willing to hurt the people of Maine and waste taxpayer money to avenge President Trump,” Connolly’s office wrote.
Big difference between the Dems and the MAGAs, is that the Dems don’t actively try to hurt the people that didn’t vote for them. The MAGAs do.
Or generally hurt people that are just living their lives. We never wanted to attack Christianity or masculinity or femininity or traditional values, we just think there is room for other points of view.

To those accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
Not acting in the face of evil is itself a decision, and a harmful act.
Yeah the Dems just hurt everyone by refusing to represent their electorate instead of their rich doners.
Dems get hurt when people betray principles. Trumps get hurt when people betray the party.
It’s all just an extension of the “progressives fall in love, conservatives fall in line” adage.
Imagine the mountain of shit if Biden or Obama had done this to a red state.
It’s unfortunate, but Leland Dudek is doing his job. Some people appear naive about what his job is.
Edit: Perhaps I should explicitly say that I’m not happy with the administration’s agenda, and what I mean is that this guy won’t be punished because he’s doing what he was hired to do. I don’t mean that this is what his job ought to be in some moral sense.
