Why are some officials resigning from the Social Security Administration?

Acting Commissioner Michelle King, a 30-year veteran of the Social Security Administration, resigned amid conflict with the Trump administration. According to two sources, she quit after refusing to provide access to sensitive Social Security records containing citizens' financial and medical information to the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). This resignation is part of a broader federal workforce shakeup that includes thousands of civil servants being fired. While the administration defends these actions as addressing waste, abuse, and corruption, critics are concerned about the implications for crucial government operations and the protection of sensitive personal information.
