USIP gets usnipped

Possible charges for the US Institute for Peace obstructionist board of directors.
They changed locks on their building to keep DOGE out and sent out memos telling employees not to cooperate with DOGE.
Such insubordination must be punished, and legally.

Possible charges for the US Institute for Peace obstructionist board of directors.

From the article:
"USIP leadership began preparing for a confrontation weeks before the executive order was issued. A Feb. 6 internal document exclusively obtained by the DCNF outlined plans to deny building access to outside officials and reasserted the institute’s discretion over security systems and facilities. Flyers with the names and photos of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials were posted throughout the building, instructing staff to report their presence and avoid conversation.
After Jackson and other DOGE officials arrived on March 14 with law enforcement and a copy of Trump’s order, they were turned away by USIP’s legal counsel, sources previously told the DCNF. Over the following weekend, USIP leadership escalated its resistance — terminating its private security firm, disabling internet and phone systems and resorting to walkie-talkie communication inside the building.
DOGE officials returned Monday to find the building locked down and staff barricaded on the fifth floor. USIP officials called the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), sources previously told the DCNF, who only later arrived at the request of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C. after reports of obstruction by institute staff. MPD entered the fifth floor through emergency stairwells and removed former USIP President George Moose and other senior officials from the premises.
While a federal judge declined to issue a restraining order halting the leadership transition Wednesday, she sharply criticized DOGE’s cooperation with law enforcement, despite the circumstances surrounding USIP’s refusal to comply."

Pets need a safe place to sleep and feel secure, like a comfy bed or a quiet corner. It's important to give them good food and clean water because it keeps them strong and healthy. If I see an animal that is hurt, I tell an adult so we can help it. Taking care of animals shows that we love and respect them.
