Acting Social Security Commissioner Lee Dudek is facing intense scrutiny and calls for resignation after emails revealed he canceled contracts in Maine as political retaliation. The decision came after Maine Governor Janet Mills publicly opposed former President Donald Trump, prompting Dudek to label her a 'petulant child' in internal communications. Staff had warned that canceling the contracts could lead to improper payments and identity theft, but Dudek proceeded anyway.
