How do you break a police line?
Put your hands up and slowly push through the line.
Even when you’re an ordinary citizen, this tactic is surprisingly effective.
Now, imagine you’re a Member of Congress.
You likely get through.
And if you don’t? You take the arrest.

Do not comply in advance.

YES. YES, WE DO.
How can these powerful people be unwilling to risk anything when so many regular folks are pushing back against Trump & Musk?
It becomes a massive news story that further informs the American people of what’s happening at OPM & that 6 trillion in Social Security & Medicare funding is at risk.
NO ONE voted for Musk. Some un-elected Space Nazi and his dweebie minions are taking over our government?
Oh hell no.
If a member of Congress gets arrested, even more people take to the streets.
Then try to re-enter the building.
1) fox news already hates them so there's no point refraining because it's not like you're gonna get them to like you
2) as you said, the spectacle is the point
Either deal with Congress or deal with the American people outside.
Which is why so many Americans are demanding Congress do their job.

Members of Congress would do well to have legal representation on site...
I didn’t do any of the organizing for that one.
The bottom line though is that we know a significant part of DOGE is working out of OPM and that it’s harder to block during weekdays than weekends.
Any cop who is obstructing congress is acting outside the law and their duty. They have no authority, no legal protection, and can be arrested, fired, and tried for sedition.
I'd love to see a cop grab a US senator and immediately get KO'd by a mercenary.
