The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone.
Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%
But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.
"Efficiency."

Cognitive dissonance is the humanities being at the same time both a useless waste of time and an imminent threat to the government.

I am thinking of every IMLS worker today.
NEW — Keith Sonderling, Trump’s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. He’ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.
