Employees of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have entered the U.S. Institute of Peace despite protests from the nonprofit that it is not part of the executive branch and is instead an independent agency

    Normally we arrest people for breaking into anyone’s property. Much less government property.

    It is truly amazing that none of these burglars have been killed while breaking and entering yet.

    So DOGE can break into ANY INSTITUTION it wants, with enforcement by the US Marshalls? That’s insane. This isn’t a federal agency at all, it’s an independent group!

        The US institute of Pease doesn’t have “Unchecked power” they have basically no power. They report to congress, and that’s all. Report. They write a bunch of them.

        The USIP also trains diplomats in conflict resolution and de-escalation.

        The thing is, they had been working in, and with, Ukraine to provide congress with accurate reports on Russia’s invasion. This accurately paints Putin as committing a bunch of war crimes, and being an aggressor who will violate every cease fire until he either wins or is driven out of the country completely, in which case he will regroup, rearm, and likely attack again.

        As long as Putin is in power, Europe isn’t safe. Especially now that Putin has a puppet in charge of the US.

        And that’s why that puppet ordered the illegal break-in.

    I really really hope that one of these days these doge dweebs are going to do something like this, and security just shoots them dead. Musk too if we’re lucky.

    So what stops them from issuing a trespass against those incels in this case?
