The Spin
Democratic narrative
DOGE seems determined to break the Social Security system and leave many of its recipients in the lurch. Allowing DOGE the type of data access that forced King to quit is dangerous and something must be done to make sure Dudek, a Trump loyalist, doesn't help DOGE finish its job before a permanent SSA head can be confirmed.
Republican narrative
DOGE needs this data to root out widespread fraud. King's departure will actually aid DOGE's mission because Dudek is a fraud expert who's on the same page with the administration. This is all being done in the name of protecting taxpayer dollars while ensuring legitimate beneficiaries continue receiving their benefits.
