Any of us that answer the phones will tell you that the publicly reported metrics are inaccurate but we don’t have the data to prove it. Except now we do have that data. Thank you, @almsnatalie.bsky.social for this story.
NEW: The phone metrics reported publicly by the Social Security Administration are way lower than actual wait times, a new watchdog report shows.

SSA phone wait times longer than publicly reported metrics, per OIG report
The agency’s “average speed of answer” metric masks longer call wait times, according to data in a recent OIG report.

As HHS restricts telework, CDC asks employees to ‘bypass’ reasonable accommodation process
Multiple CDC supervisors are raising concerns that a new HHS reasonable accommodation policy conflicts with federal disability law.

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

There is not one major institution in the country stopping Trump from destroying our country. Republican led Congress has ceded all their power to Trump. The Supreme Court is the judicial arm of the Trump administration. Media refuses to call out the threat from Trump. I don’t know how we survive !

While Russian drones target NATO allies and Ukraine’s president, Trump’s America abandons its commitments and openly embraces a strategy that weakens Europe and empowers the Kremlin.
