      This is long overdue. Andrew Saul and David Black were two especially noxious Trump holdovers who actively sought to sabotage the Social Security Administration. Here's the OLC memo Biden relied on for legal authority to fire them. It's airtight: https://www.justice.gov/olc/file/1410736/download …https://twitter.com/ReutersLegal/status/1413652941282500611 …

      The Supreme Court's decisions in Seila Law and Collins v. Yellen obviously allow Biden to fire Trump's terrible Social Security Commissioners. It would've been astoundingly naive and foolish for Biden to let them keep subverting Social Security—and undercutting his own agenda.

      In June, Justice Kagan explicitly noted that the Supreme Court's recent "unitary executive" decisions give the president authority to terminate the head of the Social Security Administration, as Biden just did. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-422_k537.pdf …pic.twitter.com/2uq1FZjO1I

      Does this set a bad precedent? Well, if you honestly thought the next Republican president was going to let Biden's Social Security Commissioner stay in office, you are not living in reality. The right's bad-faith cries of norm-busting are just demands for unilateral disarmament.

          This captures just a fraction of the obstruction that the Biden administration faced from Andrew Saul (whom Trump nominated because he is a Republican donor who advocated cuts to Social Security). He delayed stimulus checks and slashed disability benefits. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/andrew-saul-social-security-/2021/07/09/c18a34fa-df99-11eb-a501-0e69b5d012e5_story.html …pic.twitter.com/GmXpu6k419

          Sounds like you think a Republican president will be elected when Biden leaves office. Let's hope not.

          Well, we’re seeing who Republicans want to have the right to vote, and who they don’t want to have that right, and they are absolutely putting that into practice on state level. We’ve witnessed 1/6. Even if they lose, they will insist on making the Republican president in 2024.

          Breaking the norms is a good thing because the next guy might break them. Got it.

          The right always argues for disarming its enemies. To them, rules and norms are like Festivus; they’re for the rest of us.
