UPDATE: “Several members of DOGE arrived at USIP unannounced & accompanied by 2 FBI agents. They were met at the door by outside counsel who informed them of USIP’s private & independent status as a non-executive branch agency. Following that discussion, DOGE departed.” https://www.usip.org/press/2025/03/doge-visit-usip

BREAKING—The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) office was just on lockdown for close to an hour while members of the DOGE team tried to enter the building, multiple people have told me. Security has now escorted out remaining staffers who’ve been told to telework until further notice.

They've earned it, and it's shorter
take it for a spin, see if it fits
Other than impeachment and removal by Congress. He can commission these acts through criminals, and then just pardon the criminals.
Perfectly constitutional.

Then, impose new rules: no “woke” and no “DEI”. It’s like how the Nazis did it.
The Orange Menace is not a king, and his orders are not laws.
It's almost impossible to know anymore who is with the gov and who isn't.
Seems like an org dedicated to peace should probably continue? I guess we stopped feeding sick kids so maybe I'm just a bleeding heart...

They are incompetent fools who have absolutely NO BUSINESS doing what they are doing.
How about going after the REAL criminals?
Oh, that’s right, they ARE the criminals. 😡

That's just become my standard response. It's mind boggling how horrible this is.
rather than "Doggy" like Shiba Inu.
I don't know if the FBI got involved when Biden's dog Major bit anyone, or if that was just the Secret Service.
Working on finding out more.

But, until someone starts to pay a penalty for it (like jail-larity), it keeps happening
Like, brother, YOU COULD SAY NO.

Our institutions aren’t going to save us. It’s a hard pill to swallow but that’s where we are. It’s up to us now.

Flood the zone, we drowned.
Trump isn’t slowing boiling the frog.
He is setting the frog on fire. But most Americans can’t see due to the smoke.
Keep this in mind those of y’all in the gov and us outside the gov:
Gov people (YOU alone) are responsible for your actions. You have agency. You don’t have to obey.
Outside Gov: same deal and also don’t buy the “following orders” bullshit.
This is ughly
When they refer to their "private and independent status", I don't think...
Try this:
Thank you as always for your clarity while the big outlets continue to fail us.
Same applies to everyone. Choose your side, the Construction or an autocrat.
and protect its people from the corrupt Trump dilettantes.
Time for your resistance, silence is a disgrace. Look at Belgrade & Budapest right now💪
Rise up, proud America!!
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I'm not convinced that some of the people getting pressured realize they by law don't have to commit illegal acts. I think some are just scared & fear can be paralyzing
Many are weak, knowingly and not. Thats what Trump has always meant by his "base."
And who enforces federal law? Trump and his minions.
At some point Americans will rise up in protest, like Serbians did today.
When ordered to fire on protestors, the military will have to choose Trump or the Constitution.
Because they are vicious eugenicists - but also very stupid and absolutely incurious when it comes to actually understanding anything. (Believing their inherent worth as bros and proximity to power imbues them with a mystical omniscience )
“The FBI is here to help. Where are you going?”
“The U.S. Institute of Peace.”
He and Musk screw themselves over by not doing that, just barging around.
Things outside normal procedures will be met by those outside counsels. Harassment is one of those things.
Take care of yourself.

When DOGE was turned away, did they pretend they forgot? What was their story?
Yesterday's press release paints it like:
"Once we informed them of the error, they went away."
When actually, it sounds like:
"Thugs arrived to strong-arm and intimidate us with federal agents. Our stalwart lawyer told them 'F' off! You have no authority here!'"
Trump is the most powerful mobster in US history.
Strong arming & shaking down an entire nation (and weaker countries).
Motherfucker must be stopped. The People need to correct this travesty. The rule of law must be restored. A country for The People and by The People must be restored.
A.J. Muste would be proud.
