The U.S. Institute of Peace was the scene of a dramatic standoff between a Department of Government Efficiency team and Institute members on Monday. Washington, D.C., police attended the scene after being contacted both by USIP staff and the DOGE team on site.
Former diplomat and President and CEO of USIP George Moose told reporters, "D.C. police showed up at my office and said it is time for you to go." USIP is a think tank funded by Congress.
NPR spoke to him on the steps of the Institute just across from the State Department during the daylong standoff on Monday.
Some members of DOGE, as the Elon Musk efficiency team is known, tried several times to get inside to install a new president.

Can't Congress think for itself?
Seems pretty obvious that they either can’t and/or are too chicken shit to do so.
Calling for armed help as they almost had to fight their way in to the U.S. Institute of Peace.

US INSTITUTE OF PEACE my ass.
might be a particularly important piece of the puzzle
Good one!
Piece(s) of grifting scum is more like it.
“Institute of Peace” certainly has a creepy, Orwellian name.
Is it or is it not part of the executive branch?
I grew up hearing about “The Greatest Generation” and now continually learn about anti-constitutional operations that were formed under their watch.
Glad DOGE got in.
Police needed to enter Intitute of Peace?
Reminds me of the Dr Strangelove line: “You can’t fight here, it’s the War Room”.
How about Trump keep the institute but relocate their offices to Ukraine and Gaza.
That group name sounds like one on Get Smart.
Maxwell Smart: Are you a psychologist, Dr. Stueben?
Stueben: I’m the president of the Psychologists’ Society For Mental Health and Adjustment Through Fulfillment.
Maxwell Smart: What kind of an organization is that?
Stueben: We’re a hate group.
Maxwell Smart: A hate group?
Stueben: Oh, in the sense that we cure hate and fear.
We hate hate.
Hate it.

I don’t recognize any of those names. But I’ll bet the first round that we’d all recognize the names of their friends, relatives, and brothers-in-law.
