“Are they prepared to shoot us?” Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California, asked an Department of Education staffer Friday. She and several of her Democratic colleagues tried to enter the department building to have a meeting about Donald Trump’s decision to gut the department.

I guess Rep. Waters never met a publicity stunt that she didn’t love.
