The Social Security Administration is cutting staff from its communications office, and will rely on social media posts instead of press releases to update the media and the public.

Social Security Commissioner Linda Kerr-Davis told employees in a call Thursday that regional offices will no longer issue press releases or letters. Instead, the agency will be using X to communicate to the press and the public.

Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.

What happened to all the republicans crying about "government shouldn't be picking winners and losers"? Oh right, they're hypocritical little shits that should be in the ground.

So tired of everything trash because like a third of the country has less emotional maturity than a toddler.

Republicans pick winners and losers in their misanthropic hierarchy. Now they own the government, so the government is them.
