Service at the Social Security Administration is reportedly in decline as Elon Musk's DOGE has sought to investigate the agency.
Frank Bisignano, President Trump's nominee for Social Security Commissioner, faced intense scrutiny during his confirmation hearing due to his past involvement with Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency known for its meme origins. Democrats expressed concerns over his suitability for managing Social Security, pointing to his previous role in promoting Dogecoin, which they argue could reflect poorly on his judgment and understanding of financial stability and security. Critics highlighted potential conflicts of interest and questioned his commitment to protecting the Social Security system, especially given his history with a volatile and speculative asset like Dogecoin. The hearing also touched on broader issues of service cuts and the financial health of Social Security, with Bisignano defending his qualifications and experience in financial management, while promising to uphold the integrity of the Social Security system.
