The left-wing press and entrenched bureaucrats won’t be celebrating this one.

Edward Coristine — the bold and unapologetic 19-year-old reformer once dubbed “Big Balls” — is officially back in the federal fold. The same establishment that tried to sideline him has just watched him walk through the front doors of the Social Security Administration (SSA), this time as an insider.

Coristine, who gained notoriety during his tenure at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for his unflinching efforts to slash waste and streamline government operations, is now tasked with improving the SSA from the inside.

His appointment was first reported by WIRED, which noted that Coristine is joining the agency as a special government employee.

“Edward Coristine joined the Social Security Administration this week as a special government employee,” SSA spokesperson Stephen McGraw told WIRED. “His work will be focused on improving the functionality of the Social Security website and advancing our mission of delivering more efficient service to the American people.”

That’s exactly what Coristine and the DOGE team have been pushing for: smarter government, tighter budgets, and an end to the taxpayer-funded gravy train.

Multiple sources confirmed Coristine has already been spotted working onsite at SSA headquarters in Maryland. One agency employee even saw him alongside DOGE engineer Aram Moghaddassi, a former Neuralink developer now also serving in a technical role at the SSA. The swamp must be fuming.

This latest development came just days after a White House official revealed to WIRED that Coristine had briefly stepped down from his previous position—only to return one week later in a new, strategically positioned role.

The young reformer first turned heads when he appeared on Jesse Watters Primetime earlier this year, where he explained the origin of his now-infamous nickname:

“People on LinkedIn take themselves, like, super seriously, and they’re adverse to risk, and I was, like, well, I want to be neither of those things, so I just said it, and honestly, I didn’t even think anyone would notice,” he told Watters.

They noticed, alright—and not in the way Washington’s status quo would have preferred.

Coristine’s presence inside the SSA is especially significant given the agency’s recent clashes with DOGE. Earlier this year, SSA’s acting commissioner Michelle King reportedly resigned after bitter disputes with Coristine’s team over access to federal data. King objected to DOGE officials examining what she described as “sensitive government records.” Now Coristine sits inside the very office she vacated.

The timing is remarkable. Just weeks ago, the Supreme Court handed down two emergency rulings in favor of DOGE, granting them access to Social Security data that had been locked away by a federal judge in—of all places—Maryland.

For Democrats, bureaucrats, and media elites who have worked overtime to block President Trump’s government reform agenda, this is yet another bitter pill.

Try as they might, they can’t stop the America First machine from turning the lights on in the darkest corners of Washington.

Coristine isn’t just another government hire. He’s a symbol of a new generation that doesn’t flinch, doesn’t cave, and refuses to bow to the deep state.

And now he’s standing inside one of the federal government’s biggest bureaucratic fortresses—with a mandate to clean house.
