• holding that an ALJ's discussion was adequate when the ALJ discussed all impairments in the record, even though claimant argued that the ALJ summarized this information
• holding that “the ALJ could have been more specific as to which physical and mental impairments and symptoms he thought were exaggerated…[but] [t]he ALJ’s explanation was sufficient to reasonably conclude that Pepper exaggerated the effects of her impairments.”

• finding that an ALJ “need not mention every piece of evidence, so long as she builds a logical bridge from the evidence to her conclusion”
