What new developments are occurring in the Trump administration's efforts to reshape the federal government?
The Trump administration is pursuing significant restructuring of federal agencies through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. This initiative is scrutinizing various departments, with the Social Security Administration being the latest target. According to the clip, the acting commissioner of Social Security, Michelle King, resigned after refusing to provide sensitive data including bank accounts and Social Security numbers to DOGE. These actions are part of broader changes affecting critical agencies like the FAA and Department of Homeland Security, where layoffs are reportedly underway. These developments have sparked mixed public reactions, from support for government downsizing to protests against Musk's authority over federal operations.
