This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.
We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

The trap for the woman who says she was raped by Hegseth: GOP Senators (namely Susan Collins and Joni Ernst) won't meet with her privately, and Hegseth's lawyer promises to sue her for defamation (combined with a right-wing media sphere that would surely ruin her entire life) if she speaks publicly
The Pressure Campaign to Get Pete Hegseth Confirmed as Defense Secretary
Supporters of Donald Trump’s nominee have intimidated potential witnesses and suppressed the F.B.I. background check of the former Fox News host in the run-up to his Senate hearing.

They figured out the democracy hack. Extreme gerrymandering removes the need for winning the office. You only need the power.
I rang the alarm on this Republican tactic last year. Removing power from the office when Democrats win, is the final act in making voting irrelevant once the legislatures are gerrymandered. It’s happening all over the country. Read about it here: slate.com/news-and-pol...

As much as MAGA wants to make it so, Hunter wasn’t pardoned for anything related to their fantasy that Joe got money from Ukraine. Comer held years of hearings on it and wouldn’t even hold a vote on it because he knew it would fail. Don’t let them rewrite the history of this too.

If you know the facts of the 6-year campaign leading up to Hunter's prosecution, it is very difficult to argue pardon is corrupt (which is what Biden says in his statement).
Problem is most of you don't know those details, and as a result are involved in covering up Trump's corruption.
