The Social Security Administration has cut half of its outsourced information technology spending, slashing expenditures for private-sector contractors as part of an effort to keep full-time staff employed,

The move, one of countless cuts being made by Musk and DOGE since President Donald Trump's return to office, has elicited outrage from Democrats.

Martin O’Malley said DOGE’s involvement in Social Security will hurt beneficiaries. Brace for delays in service — and even benefits.

It’s also affecting workers and communities outside the Washington, D.C. area, where about 80% of that workforce is based. Those cuts mean that members of Congress are now facing potential angst among the out-of-work federal employees in their districts across the country.

Economists say uncertainty from Trump’s tariff threats and mass layoffs of government workers are starting to have a “chilling” effect on the U.S. economy.

President Donald Trump's first cabinet meeting of his second administration prominently featured the unappointed, unvetted billionaire Elon Musk.

Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency list canceling a federal agency's lease for its San Angelo office among their achievements.

Elon Musk’s DOGE is turning its attention to the Internal Revenue Service. Musk’s top aide is reviewing the operations of the tax agency. DOGE posted "receipts" of cuts and terminations of contracts around the state.
