U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) officials said several members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) arrived unannounced with FBI agents on Saturday but were denied access to the building after being approached by their counsel.

“They were met at the door by the Institute’s outside counsel who informed them of USIP’s private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency. Following that discussion, the DOGE representatives departed,” Gonzo Gallegos, USIP’s director of communications, said in a statement to The Hill.

DOGE has ordered mass firings at a wide range of federal agencies and departments while working to cancel government contracts in an effort to reduce spending levels.

USIP is a national non-partisan organization created by Congress and dedicated to protecting U.S. interests by helping to prevent violent conflicts and broker peace deals abroad according to their website. It uses federal funding to perform its mission and works closely with the Department of Defense.

1. So, armed FBI agents are going to be these little miscreants' bodyguards now?

I still don't understand how they have the authority to fire anyone.

3. They have authority until someone tells them otherwise.

Right now they they are operating on momentum and fear.

They should have been pushed back from the very beginning. A good point would have been when the DOGgiE rent-a-cop blocked the entry of the congressional delegation. They should have spit in his eye and pushed past him. Instead, they crawled back to their offices with their tail between their legs.

4. So DOGE is now using Trump-FBI as their Brownshirts to threaten anyone who resists

The FBI were there as strongmen for the DOGE assholes..…lmmmmmmmm.

DOGE is now using corrupt Trump’s FBI, the FBI that is filled with the Dictators Yes Men,
As they are now thugs for the DOGE stooges.

Interesting intimidation tactic.

Nazi Brownshirts types now.

5. I am not shocked now because you know the orange Hitler has always admired Hitler

His first wife said he had a copy of mein kamph next his bedside. And he does bark a lot of Hitleresque ideology.

6. DU, get this information out to your locals

because it's a safe bet a lot of media won't cover it.

And keep some space for joy in your life daily; it's gonna be a long fight. Take inspiration from the incredible people of Ukraine.

And for some joy today, two pictures

This Cybertruck took a dive while the driver was launching a jet ski in the Ventura Harbor Monday. TowboatUS assisted in the effort to bring it up and out.
