Whistleblower Exposes Trump Goons' Jaw-Dropping Social Security Plot

A Trump administration whistleblower says officials plotted to declare 2.7 million living individuals dead to push immigrants out of the country.

The scheme would have used the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) “Death Master File,” a database that flags the deceased, to wipe people off the financial grid, cutting off their pay, bank accounts, credit and benefits, the Washington Post reports.

Tech broligarch Elon Musk, who spearheaded the Trump administration’s controversial cost-cutting DOGE initiative last year, had pushed to bend the agency’s records to President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda, the newspaper notes. The SSA had separately marked 6,100 immigrants as dead last year in an earlier, smaller push.

Jeremiah Schofield, a career official at the SSA who helped run the agency’s IT modernization before leaving in October, said the plans crystallized on a single conference call last year.

And charity begins at home.

4. IF the cesspool that spawned these sociopaths...

... can ever be found, perhaps we can backfill it and cover it with concrete with them inside it.
It's hard to find words vile enough to describe the kind of perverted mutants that would even think of something so utterly malevolent, let alone actually doing it. They are the scum of the Earth.

9. I hit the little icon that looks like a book page

that's on the right of the browser space.
It means Reader View and usually gets you past the paywall.

The story is also in the Washington Post but they have a strong paywall.

11. I wish we could deport the lot of them

but who would take them? Russia?

7. Is this an actual crime?

If it is, then what is next?

10. It's gotta some form of crime

class action suit perhaps?

12. This move is very likely what triggered the ICE mass deportation frenzy

What's partly behind this all, of course, is their desperate desire to cut down the number of potential Democratic votes before the midterms. In some places immigrants can vote.

14. The more we find out, the more we know we were right to assess them all to be assholes

Musk and Thiel and every DOGE bro not born here need to be deported. Thiel left. He should never be allowed back in. Vance was born here and he needs to be prosecuted. They were supposedly uncovering fraud. Never showed any proof but cut vital programs anyway. How much fraud and financial data security violations did hey commit in the process? How did they gain access? What laws were broken in that process?
