Sen. Sherrod Brown on Friday demanded that President Joe Biden immediately remove and replace Andrew Saul and David Black, Trump administration holdovers whom the Ohio Democrat described as "key agents" of the former president's sweeping assault on Social Security.

"Saul and Black are undermining our Social Security system. It's past time for them to go."
—Social Security Works

Saul and Black—Social Security Administration (SSA) commissioner and deputy commissioner, respectively—are "incapable of carrying out Democrats' vision of protecting and expanding Social Security," Brown said in his first statement as chairman of the Subcommittee on Social Security, Pensions, and Family Policy, a Senate Finance Committee panel.

Saul and Black certainly should be gone as soon as possible.

And of course, don't forget by far the worst Postmaster General in U.S. history, DeJoy as well. He can't get the ax soon enough.
