Yeah, this is one of these things that could be a legacy for Trump. In many ways, it's a big surprise that this decree is still standing so many years later, especially because blacks aren't actually underrepresented in the federal government. They're actually overrepresented by 50%. Even if we weren't in a post-DEI, post-affirmative action world, this consent decree was legally hard to justify.

investigation is likely to explore whether high-level officials, potentially including Harris herself, as well as Lena Kahn, Joe Biden's chair of the Federal Trade Commission, conspired to embed the vice president's deputy domestic policy advisor, Nathaniel Siegel, into a civil service job just before Trump's inauguration.

He was placed on the payroll on direct orders of Kahn, despite the fact that he was missing essential paperwork, three Trump administration officials told the Daily Wire. In mid-February, Siegel doctored a document to try to secure the deferred resignation program buyout, despite not being eligible and its deadline having passed, the official said.

The buyout program gives eligible career employees benefits worth as much as $200,000 in exchange for leaving the government.

Hey, John. So for years, Dudek had been a mid-level manager at Social Security running its anti-fraud efforts. Now at 4.30 p.m. one day this week, he was called into his manager's office and placed on leave. He wrote in a now-deleted LinkedIn post, They want to fire me for cooperating with Doge. I confess, I helped Doge understand SSA.

I confess, I helped Doge understand SSA.

I've mailed myself publicly accessible documents and explained them to Doge. I confess, I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team. But within hours, it wasn't Dudek who was fired. Instead, the head of the entire agency, Michelle King, was out. And Dudek got a big promotion to her job. Quite a reversal there.

What's your response to that? I think that's a really important point. Doge is going to need some of these career employees if they're going to be successful. They are out there, people who want to do the right thing and work for the federal government, and they're actually the ones who know where the bodies are buried. Right.

Well, traditionally, the Social Security Commissioner was appointed to a six-year term and retained by the next president. But Joe Biden shattered that precedent when he fired Trump's first-term pick. Biden replaced him with Martin O'Malley, who quit late last year to run for chair of the Democratic National Committee. That left King a career employee as acting commissioner.

Now, King reportedly tried to block Doge from accessing the agency's data. Now Dudek will leap up the ranks to be acting commissioner until the Senate confirms Trump's nominee.
