Thirty House Democrats on Friday morning attempted to enter the Department of Education building in Washington, D.C., to meet with acting Education Secretary Denise L. Carter, but were stopped by security.

A man who said he was a federal employee did not make it clear why the lawmakers were not allowed into the building.

Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., asked the man whether he was doing so of his own volition or if he was ordered to block the door, to which the man responded that he was doing his job.

As they surrounded the man in front of the door, lawmakers repeatedly insisted that they had the right to enter the building and slammed the Trump administration over a "lack of transparency."

Demand they be allowed into a public building? Sounds like an insurrection to me.

Isn’t there some legislation that the House Republicans could pass without them being in the People’s House?

Democrats accuse others of “lack of transparency” while they ran the largest money laundering scheme in the history of the known universe.

You cannot make up this stuff.

Department of Education is next on the chopping block after USAID and they know it.

The photo/video op they wanted got short circuited. They wanted to go in and harass Linda McMahon and get it on video for the 6:00 liberal news to broadcast.....and a skinny White dude stopped it......democrats are in complete disarray and I for one am ecstatic about it!

All the federal buildings in DC are secured, and have been for two decades. Have to be on the list or you don’t get in. So Maxine Waters knew in advance that she wouldn’t get in and she knows that if she done this four months ago she wouldn’t have gotten in.

With his glasses perched up on his head. He looked like a school teacher or something. He did a good job though.

The RIF process is going to be horrendous. Seniority within an agency can bump others. It is going to take some time but it didn’t take all that long in ‘94 when Clinton did it. I forgot how many were Riff’ed in the Reinventing Gooberment purges of the 90’s. It was a lot.

“it didn’t take all that long in ‘94 when Clinton did it.”

I know, I had 1st hand experience.....the DoD hired me in 1989 and I got caught up in that reduction in force effort.

5 years service wasn’t squat.

Never missed a day of work though......the fed gov can do anything they want.....they just have to want to. 😏

6 years in the DC gulag is the normal penalty.

Hmm........DOGE should not be allowed into various federal buildings, but Democrats can enter at will.....I think not.

I like the answer that he was doing his job. A better response would have been that this is part of the Executive Branch of government and they are part of the Legislative Branch. Or, if they insist that they are citizens and have right to be in public buildings, ask them how that differs from January 6?

Commies have been indoctrinating children for YEARS to turn them into their useful idiots. Do you think these kids who walk out of class, scream about their hate of Jews and America, and protest ICE, are doing it on their own, NO of course not..their communist teachers tell them they will get extra credit if they leave class and go do it..instead of teaching kids to become productive members of society, they are teaching them to become Dem activists, which is what they want and why the left is SO outraged about DOE being closed

Thank you for referencing that article V_TWIN.

"As they surrounded the man in front of the door, lawmakers repeatedly insisted that they had the right to enter the building and slammed the Trump administration over a "lack of transparency.""


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Militia training issues aside, if elite, power-grabbing desperate Democrats and RINOs want transparency concerning the constitutionally undefined Department of Education, here it is!

From related threads ...

Both President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, had both indicated that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution in order for Congress to be able to dictate, regulate, tax and spend, and otherwise stick their big noses into INTRAstate schooling, something that the states have never done!
