Rep. Takano (D-CA) and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Democrats visit the Department of Education amid reports that the Trump administration intends to dismantle the department without consulting Congress. They are denied access.

Edit: They updated the body to have one now, I originally had to type it out myself from a hover. They have a different headline on the frontpage as well:

Acting Education Secretary Denise Carter was accused by House Oversight Democrats of locking the front doors to the Department of Education and refusing members of Congress public access. Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA) and members of the House Oversight Committee held a press conference where they demanded a meeting with the acting secretary to discuss the Trump administration’s desire to dissolve the department. The members said they wanted to ask the acting secretary in person if she would “comply with an illegal executive order (by President Trump) to shut down the department.” Democrats led a call to action urging Americans to get involved and prevent the funds already allocated to the department by Congress from being diverted to other sectors of the federal government, noting public schools and children with special needs were most at risk

    Fuck the police.

    Bring cameras and make sure the world sees a skinhead with a bandage over his swastika beating the shit out of a 50 year old senator.

    But that would obviously involve politicians who aren’t hedging their bets on when they should take their gold and flee the country.
