A win! The U.S. Institute of Peace retook control of its headquarters today just two days after a federal judge ruled that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency illegally fired its board and staff.

USIP had made the top of my list of threatened agencies on my impromptu “Hands Off!” protest sign from early April! Just knew that it was wrong to shut down an agency whose mission is peace
Acting president George Moose re-entered the building for the first time since March, accompanied by private security and the institute’s attorney. He and most of the board were ousted during DOGE’s mass purge of the federal workforce.
The building needs to be completely debugged, all computer hardware and software scrapped and new systems purchased, and—a sage smudging couldn’t hurt.
They'll have to gut the place and check the walls and ceilings for mics. I can't even imagine how many dollars in tech is going to have to be destroyed because of this
They need to put in high security doors and hire highly trained security to lockdown the building if anyone from the govt tries to illegally enter. They can litigate while the building is in lockdown.
Great news! We need to have a central list of the ones that were overturned and share the shit out of those! There have been more than a few. Anyone know how to find this information?
DOGE wasted so much time and resource. Fast does not mean efficient! Less people does not mean efficient. The people at DOGE doesn't even know what efficient is.

DOGE has no legal means of closing any federal agencies and firing people, period.
Musk needs to be arrested for espionage and domestic terrorism, jailed, stripped of his assets, deported back to SA and banned from ever entering the US!
Not only scrub desktop PCs and servers for malware, but all WiFI APS, switches, routers and gateways need to be destroyed and repurchased because the DOGE boyz may have inserted firmware malware. They are adept hackers.
In tandem with the Musker announcing a retreat from so much government work..that was a conspiracy to commit theft in broad day lite , so that we just go back to Go ,start over again?This is why we have Trump cuz we didn't put Stone away permanently years ago
Btw all these little wins stack up mightily. As each attempt is beaten back individually it makes the whole case against trumps overreach that much more evident and conclusive and exhaustive.
Small wins add up to big wins over time. Let’s keep going.
This is frustrating. I know there was a picture of doge somewhere in a building they had taken over, painting over the walls, taking down the wallpaper. I think it was the Institute of Peace, but now cannot find the image anywhere.
I'm going to start saving pictures. I think they're being wiped.
Thank you, no it was people painting over the inclusive wall coverings.
I know I saw it. I've tried googling with different terms but I cannot find it now. I'm not certain it was the Institute of Peace either. I think it was though.
I don't get it; "the American people must be idiots", they brag or it's their entire persona making everyone else believe they're so rich or brag about their summer homes or yachts but they can't pay the average tax that everyone else does when they're telling you they can afford to pay for anything
A small win, but I think that this Regime is rushing to do their evil as quickly as possible because they know that there will be serious consequences for their party. Unless, of course, they stop all future free elections.

Keep fighting the fascists.
These are obviously the carefully measured actions of stable geniuses!
Super efficient 10D chess!
So, yeah, send Musk + his little boyz to SA
