“Open the door”: Members of Congress on Friday morning were locked out of the Department of Education, which was guarded by a security guard identifying himself as a federal employee. “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., wrote on X. In another post, he said armed federal officers were called to the scene. “We aren’t dangerous,” Frost wrote. “We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime.”
