In a major win for American taxpayers and a slap in the face to decades of bureaucratic negligence, the Trump Administration has helped clean up one of the most abused government systems — the Social Security Administration (SSA). Thanks to the hard work of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), nearly **11 million deceased individuals** — some allegedly over 120 years old — have finally been scrubbed from SSA’s books.

Yes, you read that right. Dead people — potentially long gone for decades — were still listed in SSA records. And in Joe Biden’s Washington, they probably even had voting records.

On April 24, DOGE announced on X (formerly Twitter) that its seven-week joint effort with the SSA had paid off. “Approximately 11 million numberholders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked deceased,” the agency stated. Another 1.4 million entries are expected to be cleaned up in the coming weeks.

This staggering revelation follows DOGE’s earlier announcement from March, when it revealed that **3.2 million** centenarian “recipients” had already been marked dead. At that time, the agency emphasized that there was “more work still to be done.” And they’ve kept their word.

Naturally, the American people — especially conservatives — were thrilled. One patriot on X, using the handle @EagleMAGA, quipped, “Democrats will go crazy after seeing their voters being cut off.” Another user pointed out the obvious fraud angle: “If any of those 3.2 million ‘people’ were receiving money, their bank account needs to be checked… and warrants issued.”

But, as always, when conservatives try to clean house, the activist judges swoop in to protect the rot.

On May 2, the Trump Administration formally requested that DOGE be given greater access to SSA records to continue rooting out fraud. But in typical left-wing fashion, **a federal judge in Maryland blocked the request.** Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander — an Obama appointee — claimed DOGE’s fraud investigation was a “fishing expedition” with “little more than suspicion.” Right — because finding **11 million** dead people in your government’s payout system is *just suspicion.*

Even the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals chimed in to deny access to DOGE, signaling that the bloated federal bureaucracy will always protect its own. Judge Hollander doubled down, suggesting that giving DOGE access to this data would betray Americans’ trust — as if decades of incompetence, fraud, and waste haven’t already shattered it.

Elon Musk, speaking at a recent Trump rally in Wisconsin, made it clear this is only the beginning. “We’re not going to stop just because corrupt judges don’t want us lifting the hood on these broken agencies,” Musk said to a roaring crowd. “We owe it to the taxpayers to find every dollar that’s been stolen and every fraudster hiding behind a government check.”

Once again, it takes a businessman like Trump — and a disruptor like Musk — to do what career politicians refused to do for generations: Drain the swamp, expose the fraud, and save the taxpayers billions.
