Midwesterner in Maryland. Beach-loving hater of sand. Eggnog enthusiast. Lifelong fan of Chicago Bears & Cubs who now also roots for D.C.’s teams + Ravens (when it’s not a conflict). Yes, those hot flashes. I’ve probably “❤️”-ed one of your posts.

My story on the USIP raid from March (helpful context for why Trump putting his name on the building today is so egregious):
The Trump administration's 'assault' on Peace
The violent attack on the US Institute of Peace is a heavy-handed metaphor for this administration's goals.

I've been closely covering the USIP situation since March and am currently in the midst of a lawsuit for body cam footage of the raid.
NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March.
The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org.

As a reminder: The USIP building was raided and taken over by DOGE (with assistance from federal and local law enforcement) despite being an independent agency and owner of the building. Litigation is ongoing, but Trump does not own this building.
