Summary
Emails reveal that Social Security Administration acting chief Leland Dudek canceled Maine’s vital records contracts as retaliation against Democratic Gov. Janet Mills after she clashed with Trump.
Despite warnings this could increase identity theft and fraud, Dudek said, “no money will go from the public trust to a petulant child.”
The termination briefly blocked parents from obtaining Social Security numbers for newborns. Dudek reversed the decision within 24 hours amid backlash.
Lawmakers called for his resignation. Dudek, a former IT staffer, was controversially elevated after aiding Elon Musk’s DOGE team.

I’m sure attacking states is going to make the USA a stronger union, especially as it isolates itself from the world.
July 4th this year is where all the fun starts.
Dudek had been a mid-level IT staffer at Social Security before being put on administrative leave for helping Elon Musk’s DOGE team access sensitive databases inside the agency. The Trump administration tapped him to lead the agency after more senior officials refused to cooperate with Musk’s team.
The most fanatically loyal to the Dear Leader, the most contemptuous of both the law and the people, are plucked from mediocrity and placed at the top.
This is America now.
This is their meritocracy.
Kakistocracy
Hey look, a crime.
Hey look, a(nother) crime.
Silly rabbit. Crime is for poor people.
When a rich person does it, it’s just being smart.

Hey look kids, there’s Big Ben, and there’s Parliament.
Petulant child, because the governor cares about all her constituents and not just selected few?
Projection… always projection
And then the Sturmtrumper gives a masterclass in petulance and childishness.
More like taking the public hostage
@MicroWave When an insipid cunt takes revenge on a petulant child…then where are we?
Cuntyvengulantness.
To clarify, who is in which role here, because Trump is both of these things, and I don’t see that Governor being either.
Answer: America.
@SinningStromgald I’d laugh but I’m frightened.
