CHAOS has erupted at the Department of Education as House Democrats tried to storm the locked property, only to be stopped cold by security.

The fuming liberals banged on the sealed door and had a full-blown meltdown as Elon Musk was reportedly allowed inside.

On Friday morning, Democrat lawmakers spoke out against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Musk’s plans for America.

The crew, led by Representative Mark Takano, a Democrat from California, had showed up to the building after requesting a meeting with the department, a source told the Hill.

They wanted to schedule the appointment by Thursday, and descended on the front doors when no one got back to them, according to reports.

Outside the building, they shrieked over Musk being allowed in the building while they were left out in the cold.

They accused the Trump administration of being secretive and stonewalling Congress from political conversations.

“Billionaires can go in this building but not representatives,” Takano told reporters.

“There’s a lack of transparency here.”

“They’re blocking members of Congress from entering the Department of Education! Elon gets in, but we don’t? Illegal!” Representative Maxwell Frost, a Democrat from Florida, raged on X.

She went on to blast security for turning all of them away.

The showdown comes as tensions explode over Trump’s push to shut down the Education Department entirely, either by executive order or by gutting it piece by piece.

Despite acknowledging receipt of the letter sent by outraged lawmakers, the department still failed to arrange a meeting.

An aide eventually made it inside to inform security of the lawmakers’ arrival. But by then, the doors were locked, preventing any further attempts to gain entry.

TRUMP’S PLAN

Trump has long argued that states, not Washington DC, should run education.

On Tuesday, Trump doubled down, stating his education secretary pick, Linda McMahon, should aim to “put herself out of a job.”

Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who served in Trump’s first administration, echoed these sentiments in a recent opinion piece for Fox News, calling for a complete overhaul of the department.

She criticized the focus on DEI mandates instead of core academic skills, urging Trump and Congress to shift power from the federal government and block grant education funding directly to states.

“No child should be trapped in a failing school,” she added.

Meanwhile, lawmakers continue to blast Trump and his administration’s political tactics.

Frost, in another video, decried the use of armed officers, calling it an authoritarian tactic to prevent Congress from carrying out its duties.

“We aren’t dangerous. We’re here to defend public education,” he said.

A Department of Education spokesperson said the protest was organized by members of Congress who were exercising their First Amendment rights.

“They did not have any scheduled appointments, and the protest has since ended,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

This protest mirrors similar incidents from Thursday when Democratic lawmakers were denied entry at the Environmental Protection Agency in a failed attempt to meet with DOGE officials.

As the standoff continued, the Nation’s Report Card showed that seven out of 10 fourth graders are unable to read proficiently, highlighting the growing crisis in American education.

The latest report shows no progress in reading scores since 1992.
