This is nauseating.
“Donald J. Trump” is now emblazoned in several places on the building that houses the U.S. Institute of Peace in downtown D.C., according to eyewitnesses and photos obtained by The Post.
Building gets a new name: The ‘Donald J. Trump’ Institute of Peace
The changes comes as Trump’s administration has touted his peace deals and ahead of a signing of a deal between the leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo this week.

Three things about this comment:
1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump.
2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you?
3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

DOGE literally ransacked the place.
Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.

This is what Judge Howell said two months ago when she declined to reverse the hostile takeover. I'm curious what she thinks is going to happen now?
Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

This is fucking demented: Judge said “The deal is no longer merely ‘proposed’ but done, rendering plaintiffs' requested relief moot as to that property.”
In other words, DOGE already illegally stole USIP’s $500 million building so I can’t stop them.
This is the shit that makes me feel hopeless.

Judge Howell’s actions in the USIP hearings have been confounding and disgusting. I can’t imagine what she’s thinking.
BREAKING: US federal judge allows DOGE to takeover $500 million office building for free.
In fact, the building—and all of the property inside it—had already been transferred on Saturday.
