“They are blocking members of Congress from entering the Department of Education! Elon is allowed in and not the people? ILLEGAL,” Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) said in a post on the social platform X, referring to Elon Musk, the world’s richest person and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Random goon, with no ID, wearing a sweatshirt is blocking the door -- not allowing members of Congress in the building.

1. So what power does he have to deny them?

Why can't they just move him out of the way? If he physically assaults them they would have standing to arrest him.

Just watched a few minutes of the "show down". Damn, it's all show and all it shows is how ineffectual they all are.

14. He's the guard of the door. That's his job. The behavior towards him looks bad for us.

[Biophilic]

15. He works for DOGE/Musk.

He has no uniform on so obviously he isn't an official government "guard". No, that behavior towards him is warranted. These were members of Congress. They were simply trying to enter a government building. That should not be denied them unless for some danger present. The guy was/is a Musk goon.

18. They need their own security or balls to just move through that sh*t.

2. Wait, what? Members of Congress let a random goon deny entrance.

Is this random goon bigger than the Hulk. I am not understanding.

5. They are being easy too nice

They need to force their way in. Always. That is the only way this will end.

9. That's how a physical altercation starts; next thing you know, we're in a lawless

third world thugocracy. Well, actually...

[orangecrush]

17. Yes that's how it starts

Get the fuck out of the way of our ELECTED OFFICIALS or get some fucking dentures.

10. Do we rollover for every halfwit knuckle dragger? Step around him. Our building.

[Omnipresent]

3. Random goon will get his due...

Process once he gets booked into jail.

4. HAVE TO JAIL MFT ALSO

SO MUSKRAT DOESN'T GET PARDONED

7. Maxwell Frost's personal threads

has Auntie Maxine id him as Jim Hairfield.

I know it's not a popular opinion at DU - but it is what it is.

I think our Congress folks need to start showing up with flag poles and bear spray and tell these UnAmerican unauthorized traitors that they are just peaceful tourists.

Move them. Shove them. Get them out of the way. Take names, get addresses.

I don't care if it takes 20 years for this regime to fall - get their names and actions now. Punishment later.

11. Call the police! If that random unidentified goon touches you, that's assault!

[Amaryllis]

12. On the video toward the end it looks like there were a lot of cops inside.

13. ARMED FEDERAL OFFICERS

‪@maxwellfrost.bsky.social‬

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

16. Hire some fucking security for krissakes
