“Chief of security Colin O’Brien said police on Monday helped DOGE members enter the building and that the private security team for the organization had its contract canceled.”

Project 2025 has been available to pursue for three years. It's not a secret what they are trying to do even without that answer key: destroy the Constitutional order, erect a dictatorship, and rewrite history to form an autocratic ethnostate comprising a set of oligarchic city-states.
Project 2025 is not the bad guys telling us what they are doing, it is them telling their accomplices what to do, how to do it, and why they want to do it. It does not make any attempt to make itself palatable to anybody outside their cohort.
It wasn't leaked at all, Heritage Foundation had it deliberately published to their publicly accessible website and used it to attract the kind if people they want to fill the civil service with after the chainsawing is complete.
Like, hot damn on a popsicle stick, did you just wake up yesterday?
Why the fuck are the police cooperating in this rather than waiting for the courts to deal with it? If it were a tenant dispute, they would tell you to go get a court order, not evict you before you had one.
It’s going to take members of police and security teams to refuse to carry out illegal actions. Yes they may lose their jobs, but it’s that or lose our country. We may need to provide monetary support to those who are fired. It would help if a wealthy donor could set up a process to do this.
Frustrating reporting: does not explain if Trump has the authority to remove the board members and then fire the CEO. What does Mayor Bowser have to say? COP Pamela Smith?
The board is appointed by the president except for three members (who are also presidential appointees, but their presence on the board is mandatory: SecState, SecDef, and the president of the National Defense University (currently Vice Admiral Peter Garvin, since October 2024.))
The story claims that he signed on to the firing of Ambassador Moose (who, you will probably not be shocked to hear, is Black) but if the rest of the board was dismissed Hegseth and Rubio could have done it on their own.
It is also part of the governing documents that no more than eight of the board members can be affiliated with a given political party, but as Trump’s fired all of them I expect him to ignore that when appointing a new board.

Try being a person of color in this country (I'm not). Fascist authority is not such a strange thing in the land of milk and honey.
But Who appoints the board —and so who can fire the board? Who owns the building, the institute itself or GSA or something ?
I wish the article clarified this
