Subject: RE: BS: Trump Actions and Effects
Here's a Trump appointee who hoped to burrow in like a tick and keep damaging the Social Security Administration. Biden kicked out the top two guys, but the top one says he isn't leaving.

Biden clears out Trump picks at the Social Security Administration
Following a Supreme Court ruling, Biden fired Trump's top officials at the Social Security Administration. Andrew Saul, however, doesn't intend to leave.

Saul, however, apparently disagrees. In fact, the Trump appointee told the Washington Post late last week that, as far as he's concerned, Biden can't fire him. Saul added that he intends to keep working this morning, as if his ouster hadn't happened.

I don't know enough about the inner workings of the Social Security Administration, but I assume the relevant officials have canceled his login and limited his access to the building. I also assume Saul will soon file some kind of lawsuit testing the legality of the White House's decision.


One hopes so!
