A fat string of curious circumstances grows even fatter as it appears that Matt Duss, previously a 'policy analyst' at the formerly Podesta-CEO'ed Center for American Progress and president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, interrupted whatever else he might have been occupied with up to that point in order to specifically have a photograph taken of himself hugging a half-human, half-hot-dog painted sculpture, which he then chose to upload as his Facebook profile picture.

Clearly exploiting some inside joke, the enigmatic picture scored an array of enthusiastic comments from his acquaintances, the nature of which might seem inexplicably out of line to the uninitiated.
For instance, Rebecca Abou-Chedid weirdly comments she is 'truly honored'.
Christa Blackmon suggests this has something to do with 'existential terror'.
Ron Kampeas hasn't had 'such a disorienting reaction at an image' since hours before when he read 'Family Circus'.
Most interestingly, Shaun Casey asks, 'You've been lobbying Congress?'
What, with hot dogs?
Matt Duss appears to have co-hosted the DC party involving 'fresh tortillas' flown in from Mexico (the day before), in keeping with the same tradition as Obama's using certain 'channels' to have $65,000's worth of 'hot dogs' and 'pizzas' flown in from Chicago to a 'small gathering' at the White House, where -- incidentally -- prepared food isn't allowed to be brought in. The email to 'Hawaiian hot-dog stand' owner John Podesta that awkwardly insists 'you should bring all the children that are available' to this party says it's from Michael Werz, Helga Flores, and Duss.
With the well-established significance of 'hot dogs' in Pizzagate research (although its specific use may possibly vary, the general seediness ascribed to it is without question) and taking into account all the DC scandals over the decades proving systemic child and adolescent prostitution for political compromisation, blackmail and other purposes, I'd say the 'lobbying Congress' comment at least weaves into a pretty exotic pattern of circumstances.

(Looking into if it had been discovered before, I didn't find anything.)

I don't think the comments are weird, I think "The Duss. I am truly grateful" is what the hotdog is meant to be saying. "existential terror" is about the hotdog putting sauce on himself, and "You've been lobbying Congress?" is just a joke to indicate this hotdog is meant to represent congress.
The link to hotdogs could be relevant though, and a sign to others.

I think your points are mostly valid except your explanation of the 'lobbying Congress' comment (which motivated posting the observation) seems vague. It may be something innocuous but I can't comprehend it without presupposing some other tacit premise to that, outside of the picture. If the hot dog is 'meant to represent Congress' as you say, I think it still needs more context in order to be considered funny or make sense.

Your right oily, "you've been lobbying congress?" So lets take the 'joke' to its most simplest forms so we cant get disputed too heavily.
Wiki- Lobbying (also lobby) is the act of attempting to influence the actions, policies, or decisions of officials in a government,
So when their going to their meetings with congress to discuss their agendas there is something relevent to a 'HOTDOG' there too.
100% an inside joke too. Another tick for 'hotdog' being something relevant to #pedogate
