Why did Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, resign?

Michelle King stepped down over the weekend after refusing a request from DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to access sensitive data of millions of Americans at the Social Security Administration. According to two sources familiar with the situation, King was unwilling to provide this sensitive information, which likely included personal details of Social Security beneficiaries. The White House later confirmed that King was no longer heading the agency. Her resignation appears to reflect tensions between the Trump administration's efficiency initiatives and concerns about protecting sensitive personal data of American citizens.
