Top Republicans say they're out of the loop as DOGE downsizes Social Security Administration
(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is moving to downsize the Social Security Administration with office closures, cutbacks on phone services and new rules requiring in-person visits for some prospective beneficiaries to register.
And DOGE is making those changes without consulting or notifying some of the most senior lawmakers on Capitol Hill who oversee Social Security, including GOP allies of President Donald Trump.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Finance subcommittee on Social Security, said he had not been told ahead of time about DOGE's moves at the agency.

(6,671 posts)DOGE needs to cut the senator's jobs. They are a worthless waste of money.
they are figureheads. Useless things to trot out at DC parties and to dust off and prop up at election time.

They don’t give a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. They probably think that there are enough stupid White men between 18-39 that will keep them in power.
