Congressional Democrats were barred from entering the Department of Education’s headquarters on Friday morning as they tried investigate billionaire Elon Musk’s “DOGE” takeover of sensitive data within.

“They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education,” Frost wrote in another post to Bluesky. “This is an authoritarian regime.”

    All I’m saying is that if they’re already at the point of whining about it right now, they are going to be completely and totally unprepared when it actually becomes a full-on authoritarian regime.

    The only thing that bullies understand is raw power. If they don’t flex their raw power, it will be taken away from them.

    They are the people literally appointed by us to do this. They need to get going.

    So when do they start fighting back? Now or when Trump calls in the Firing Squads?

    Not sure how it’s legal to bar a congressmember from most government buildings. Perhaps they should bring an armed military person or two with them the next time they come for a visit.

      I really want to see a lot more ‘‘oh yeah? Prove it.’’ On this clearly bullshit moves.

    Seems like a lot of Americans are really slow on the uptake.
