A senior executive at the Social Security Administration was physically dragged from his office this week after clashing with DOGE, according to The Washington Post.
Greg Pearre, a career civil servant who led an IT team working on the agency’s data systems, was removed over his opposition to a DOGE plan to cut off immigrants from key financial services, three people told the Post.
The scheme cooked up by Elon Musk’s DOGE squad falsely lists thousands of migrants as dead in a Social Security database known as the “death master file.”
Being entered into the death database cuts a person off from crucial financial services, like the ability to receive government benefits and access a bank account or credit card.
Listing living people as dead in an official database is 99% likely a crime.
Ok, it’s a crime. And?
Legality means nothing when you’re the law. Consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uttar_Pradesh_Association_of_Dead_People
Why isn’t this DOGE person arrested for assault? We need the name, if our justice system fails to work because of the government prevents it then our Constitution grants us the right to correct this via the 2nd Ammendment.
Why isn’t this DOGE person arrested for assault?
Because the rule of law has collapsed in America. Stop waiting for it, you are already there
Because it’s sensationalised and he didn’t physically dragged from his desk by Doggy goon.
But his objections did not go over well with Trump political appointees. And so on Thursday, the security guards in Pearre’s office told him it was time to leave.
They walked Pearre out of the building, capping a momentous internal battle over the novel strategy
The article is based on another article by Washington Post, which did not mention any goon from Doggy nor any dragging.
They have been rolling with either DC police or the Marshalls. Can’t remember, but they are bringing guns and muscle.
So we’ve officially got a Gestapo in the country now?
C’mon guys… let’s wake the fuck up here.
This sounds oddly similar to the early days of SS which started as an organized bunch of goons serving the nazi party as security guards.
To be clear for any dummies like me who just woke up and are reading this, this comment is comparing DOGE to the early days of the Nazi Schutzstaffel, not comparing Greg’s bravery to the early days of Social Security
I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding, don’t get hysterical. /s
DOGE == WW2 SS
They are trying to take over Social Security, so they can have the acronym.
SA, but they don’t know it yet.
You must use long knives to trim the fat.
Oh this just keeps getting more and more fun every day as someone who is on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and HUD housing. Cut my SSDI and I lose access to everything. I mean it’s “illegals” now, the rest of us “parasites” next?
That’s exactly it. Owners want people desperate, because desperate people work for less. As you point out, they start with “illegals”, but they will eventually come for the old and the disabled too, because some people will have to pick up where Social Security left and care for them and, in doing so, will become even more desperate. Who will risk their job fighting for their rights knowing that not only their own livelihood, but also that of their old mother or their disabled brother is on the line? We need to be clear: this is not about government efficiency or even a crackdown on “illegals”, but a war — the owners’ war on us workers and our kin.
They’ve been manufacturing consent in a similar way in Germany, agitating against immigrants and dubbing some or all people in your situation “Sozialschmarotzer” –“social parasites”–. Under the pretense of fighting those threats they conjure, they’ve been dismantling social security — without DOGE’s viciousness, but bit by bit.
Yep. Start with immigration (fakers!), then move onto disabled (fakers!) Then on from there

This is true for those who have support locally. I don’t have anyone I can rely on locally right now if this starts happening to the DML. There is no other safety net for me. The safety net I do have was already riddled with holes and partially on fire BEFORE Jan 20th.
Also, this hasn’t even started happening and already people are struggling paycheck to paycheck and won’t risk it by protesting – at least not to the point where we can get sustainable numbers over weeks in all 50 states.
Yesss make them work for it
o7 Greg, you madlad
Isn’t that assault?
Nah
Sounds like assault and maybe other legal issues. They aren’t LEOs.
Somebody call Seabass to kick this doge pricks ass.
If Harry and Lloyd were president and vice president, they would be smarter and more competent than who are currently in charge.
Absolute fucking hero. If my time ever comes I hope I have the same moral fortitude.
Big balls attacks again. The stunlock intensifies

The goal was to push migrants who were granted a temporary legal status under former President Joe Biden to “self deport.”
Did you actually read the article, or did you use your stupid ideology to pretend you knew what it said?
Sit down you ridiculous child.

you’re operating at the lowest base level of human consciousness and enlightenment. you’re barely above a primate trying to fill your base needs. it’s like you’ve never bothered to think for a day in your life. how you got sucked out of the void and cast into flesh is beyond me. you have so much to learn. it’s not my job to teach you though. i’m just here to solve problems. that being said, if you ever want to get together and ‘talk’ about it, shoot me your address.

By this, we can deduce who the real assholes are.
You’ve certainly left no doubt.
I’m not gonna try to convince you otherwise because I think our world views are too different for that to be worthwhile l, but I do want to understand, when you say “are the problem”, what in your mind is the problem?
Is it that you think they’re taking up state resources, what resources do you think they’re using vs work that they do?
Is it because you have an idea if what the make up in America should be in terms of languages, birthplace or race?
Not trying to debate you, genuinely interested to understand why you feel like that.
Great comment and I’d love to be surprised and see you get a response.
First, i didn’t say “are the problem”, (oops ok i did, but its the border runners) And yes, an unexpected large increase in population has adverse effects on a state’s/cities financial ability. So in part yes, it’s a resource issue. Are you able to comprehend that illegal immigration has a net negative effect on society and not a positive?
And let’s remember, we’re talking about illegal immigration. I would wager that legal immigration has a net positive on society.
Y’all think anybody that speaks differently than you It’s just some white bread racist cracker That doesn’t have any love for anybody who is different skin color. I’ll sum it up with this.I only believe in one race, the human race. In my heart we are all brothers and sisters.
And let’s remember, we’re talking about illegal immigration.
Actually we’re talking about legal immigration, as those affected by this are people with legal immigration status. So what is your issue with legal immigrants?
That guy is the most obvious troll ever. Just report his shit and don’t waste your time.
I thought we were talking about both? Anyway…
This may be part of the issue. Have I not already told you that I am all for legal immigration? I don’t know who got y’all all confused about the difference. I WANT LEGAL IMMIGRATION. I believe legal immigration is crucial.
It’s more humanitarian to want legal immigration, because anybody that is illegally immigrating is probably going through a very dangerous route. There’s human trafficking rape murder extortion, you don’t think the cartel runs most that shit? Worst people in that world!
Ok, but only legal immigrants are being affected by this. Illegal immigrants already don’t receive any federal government benefits, you get that right? There are no programs through social security that illegal immigrants can receive or benefit from. So you are cheering on an action from DOGE that only hurts legal immigrants, and I’m just confused on why you think that’s a good thing.
None of this has anything to do with any good faith effort for clamping down on illegal immigration. Generally speaking, people in the country illegally don’t want their names on records for receiving benefits.
Were you born this stupid or did you get this ways with years of daily practice?
Do you think that immigrants are better or worse for America than people who decide to drink and drive?

Sounds like a great lawsuit.
I understand they’re handing out pardons like candy these days.
Can’t pardon a lawsuit. Lawsuits are civil; pardons are for criminal cases. Those staffers could be bankrupted, which would be hilarious.
Elon will just pay the settlement for them with $DOGE or $TRUMP. Monetary punishment is not a deterrent for anyone in the current administration.
Doesn’t mean people shouldn’t still sue and bleed that fuck dry like he’s bleeding everyone else.
Keep suing it until the rest of the shit bags cut the line, turn on them, and leave them for dead. Like Giuliani
Elon will just pay the settlement for them with $DOGE or $TRUMP.
Or he just won’t. What’s anyone going to do about it?
Judges have broad power to enforce civil settlements. Just look at all the shit that NY did to Trump to collect on the E Jean Carroll lawsuit. I’m not sure whether she actually collected, but I assume he sold enough $TRUMP to easy marks to pay for it all.
She hasn’t seen a dime from him and never will in the remainder of her lifetime. If she was much younger and trump hadn’t won again she might have had a chance, but her victory is basically symbolic only. I’m sure you know that the rich can just keep appealing what amounts to forever since the legal system crawls at the speed of a sloth. Legal, and especially financial consequences do not apply to oligarchs.
It got far enough that the judge made Trump secure a bond for the full amount in case he couldn’t pay. I assume he finally did pay up, in fact it might have forced him deeper into crypto once he realized people would pay for his shitty tokens.

We just pardoned a corporation.
Correct. For criminal acts. As Mitt Romney said, “Corporations are people, my friend.” (Yes, I know corporate personhood makes no sense, but this is the messed up world we live in.)
I understand that. And as you noted we’re well past the point of law and making sense. 2 plus 2 is now fish because the Supreme Court said so.
I hope we have some legal sense remaining to where what you’re saying makes sense. It would be a small confirmation law is still a thing.
We’re not past the point of law, there’s just an executive-in-chief who thinks he is. Law still applies to everyone else.
He’s openly defying the SCOTUS, and nothing is happening. The law doesn’t apply to him, therefore it doesn’t apply to us. We are all already dead in the US. Stay armed. If they come for you, make them pay with their lives. Make them fear “just following orders.”
If you’re in the US, you’re already dead. Your body just hasn’t gotten the message yet. Fight like the cornered badgers we are.
Wait what? I think I missed that.
However that’s just one of many sources where you can learn more about this. Don’t know the legitimacy of this particular site.
Holy shit! He’s basically given them a license for unlimited money laundering with no repercussions! 🤬
As for The Hill, it’s generally skewed to the Right (though not as far right as the fascist GOP) on anything subjective, but usually pretty reliable otherwise.
Christ, first it was politely holding up paddles, now it’s a fucking lawsuit
We are BEYOND all that shit my dudes.
No no, not instead of - it’s in addition to.
This guy fought harder than our democratic leaders.
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
