It's wild to think how much could have been stopped if she had put her foot down there and told them to get the hell out. All the agencies that came after they were emboldened by the Institute of Peace aftermath... 🤦♂️

This is major. As a reminder, DOGE stormed the USIP building in March with the help of DC Metro Police who were originally called there by building employees. Even tho, USIP owned the building, DOGE just…took it. Background: www.thehandbasket.co/p/us-institu...
JUST IN: Judge Howell rules that the Trump/DOGE takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace was illegal and should be treated as null and void.

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.

Of all the DOGE thievery, USIP is the most clear cut and brazen. They assaulted and pillaged this independent nonprofit that was established by an act of Congress. They’ve stolen their money and property with zero legal basis.
