The U.S. Institute of Peace held the line against DOGE despite reportedly receiving threats from the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE forcibly took over the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) after staff resisted Trump’s executive order to gut the independent agency.

Capitol police removed employees following a standoff, despite legal arguments that Trump cannot unilaterally fire board members.

The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s office pressured USIP to comply, threatening a criminal investigation.

The White House insists the takeover was lawful, but critics call it an illegal power grab. The move mirrors a similar DOGE-led standoff at the U.S. African Development Foundation.

      I wonder how much violent resistance those doge idiots would need to face before they decided to give up.

        Let’s be honest: the goal is to find violent resistance so they can justify “emergency powers.” From that point, it’s just American imperialism led by Fuhrer President Trump.

          If we’re getting a dictator either way, we could at least take some of them out along the way.

            Hey man, we’re all there right now. It’s one thing to recognize what needs to be done, and another to risk relationships, livelyhood, and bodily harm to yourself and those you care about in persuing it. I’m a coward too, so I take to education as my method of fighting back. No disrespect for recognizing what needs to happen and not being in the position to do it.
