wired.comDOGE Is Trying to Gift Itself a $500 Million Building, Court Filings ShowThe documents reveal a DOGE affiliate is attempting to transfer the headquarters of an independent think tank, the United States Institute of Peace, to the government at no cost.

Tensions at USIP have been escalating for weeks, starting when the Trump administration fired the agency’s 10 board members on March 14 and USIP staffers denied DOGE representatives access at the front door.

Three days later, DOGE staffers made their way into the building, reportedly using a physical key from a former security contractor. As of this past Friday, most USIP staffers have received termination notices.

Court documents filed today reveal the next phase of DOGE’s plans for USIP: to transfer the institute's assets—including its real estate—to the General Services Administration, which DOGE took over in the first weeks of Trump's second term.

To state this plainly: DOGE forced out the directors and staff of a nonexecutive agency, installed one of its own GSA staffers as president, and that person is now attempting to hand the institute’s $500 million headquarters over to the agency he came from, at zero cost.

Isn't that a classic Mafia scam (the Pig Butchering scam, maybe?) Take over a business more or less legally, then gut it and distribute the assets to cronies (or yourself, if you can hide your tracks)?

The fucker is not an American and he is trying to destroy this country serving the orange emperor. I would love to see trump without any cloths. Probably looks like a white whale with cellulite

Dictators work hard to induce despair in resistance movements. We don't have to let them. Open secret: fascist regimes are always much more fragile than they look. We can overcome them with nonviolent resistance. It will require brilliant strategy and implementation, but we can do it.

It's pretty clear that this is probably one of the primary reasons DOGE invaded the Institute of Peace. They want the building...a building not owned by the federal government.

This story is one of the most egregious usurpation of private property. It along with doing away with Habeas Corpus cannot be allowed to stand! Otherwise anyone can be disappeared and any property can be seized with Marco Rubio’s signature!

We must be vigilant... this will not be the last attempt to sieze and sell valuable property out from under the American people. Closely monitor the Bureau of Land management for unusual deals... or leases to cronies. The grift is throughout this T regime, and goes all the way to the top...
