There is no caption for the photo.

Makes one wonder where they got professionally printed signs at the drop of a hat.

Does this agency think it doesn't have to obey its bosses like everyone else because they are Democrats?

I suspect that was an earlier protest. The media didn't have a caption for the photo.

You didn't read your own link. Typical MAGA.

What are you babbling about now?

Exactly. What the fuck do these unelected liberal bureaucratic snowflakes think they are? They work for us, not themselves. And when we ask them to see the books, it's an order, not a question.

If it's going to take some arrests and a kick in the teeth to get this shit done, so be it.

"DOGE staffers bring U.S. marshals to small federal agency that denied them access
The show of force by Trump administration officials and federal law enforcement resulted in a frantic and “traumatizing” scene, several officials of the aid agency said, and sparked a lawsuit from its leader.

Employees of the U.S. DOGE Service, the organization overseen by Elon Musk that is tasked with slashing the size of the federal government, successfully gained access to the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) headquarters in downtown Washington on Thursday, a day after the small aid agency blocked the group from entering.

The DOGE employees returned to the USADF offices around 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, according to several agency officials with firsthand knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to prevent professional retribution.

About an hour later, Pete Marocco — director of the State Department’s Office of Foreign Assistance and acting deputy administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) — arrived with five U.S. marshals and a handful of DOGE employees, according to several USADF staffers outside and video obtained by The Washington Post. Much like the scene Wednesday, the group demanded access to the 10th floor where the foundation’s offices are.



The show of force by Trump administration officials and federal law enforcement resulted in a frantic and “traumatizing” scene, the USADF officials told The Post, and triggered a federal lawsuit filed by the aid organization’s leader against President Donald Trump, Marocco and DOGE officials, claiming they are unauthorized to represent the agency and requesting an immediate intervention by the court."

These losers must have forgot that Trump won again. They can probably just close the whole operation down.

Trump was narrowly elected President, not king.
Elon Musk was not elected at all.

The president has every right to order audits of any agency in the executive branch. That's not being a king, it's being responsible.

Musk works for your president.

Prove they were US Marshalls

What a stupid comment. Typical fume imbecility.

What are you babbling about now?

It doesn’t matter. Babble is babble. It’s his native tongue.

I can't get past the WaPo paywall and would love to have a good laugh at the "frantic and traumatizing" scene.

Shut it down!

It's just another statist left $$$$$ laundering front/facade. The statist left in our America are disintegrating right before our eyes to the delight of 70%+ of our American constituency!

Let the oil-rich Arabs and the Chinese prop-up Africa for a generation or two... we've done our bit... time to close-down USADF.

The third way is to hit the reload button on your browser then quickly hit the "stop." YOu have to do this several times. That usually works for me. You have to catch it at a point before the popup loads.

I've defeated a lot of paywalls this way.

Sometimes you can get lucky and block the popup with AdBlock Plus's element blocker.
Otherwise, archive it at archive.ph and read it that way.
There's also a scroller thing that might work. Threadreader app?
