At the U.S. Institute of Peace, It’s War When Musk’s Team Arrives


A bubbling dispute broke into a dramatic standoff that ended with police involvement and the Department of Government Efficiency taking up residence at the independent agency.

A simmering dispute between the Department of Government Efficiency and an independent agency dedicated to promoting peace broke into an open standoff involving the police on Monday, as Elon Musk’s government cutters marched into the agency’s headquarters and evicted its officials.

The dramatic scene played out in Washington on Monday afternoon as Mr. Musk’s team was rebuffed from the U.S. Institute of Peace, an agency that President Trump has ordered dismantled, then entered it with law enforcement officers. Agency officials say that because the institute is a congressionally chartered nonprofit that is not part of the executive branch, Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk do not have the authority to gut its operations.

“DOGE just came into the building — they’re inside the building — they’re bringing the F.B.I. and brought a bunch of D.C. police,” Sophia Lin, a lawyer for the institute, said by telephone as she and other officials were being escorted out.

George Moose, who was fired as the institute’s acting president last week but is challenging his dismissal, accused Mr. Musk’s team of breaking in. “Our statute is very clear about the status of this building and this institute,” he told reporters. “So what has happened here today is an illegal takeover by elements of the executive branch of a private nonprofit corporation.”

The standoff quickly became one of the most visible points of resistance to Mr. Musk’s effort to fire federal workers and dismantle whole agencies. And it underscored Mr. Trump’s willingness to push the legal limits of his authority in his drive to reshape the federal government and put even entities that have traditionally been independent under his thumb.

A spokesman for Mr. Musk’s team directed an inquiry to the White House. An administration official blamed the institute for not complying with an executive order signed by Mr. Trump in February, which listed the institute as one of four governmental entities to be “eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law” and directed them to “reduce the performance” to the minimum required by law within 14 days.

The institute was created by Congress in 1984 and works to prevent and end conflict, deploying specialists to work with U.S. allies, training peace negotiators and diplomats and briefing Congress. Since the February executive order, its website was updated with additional references to the “cost-effective” nature of its work, a likely bid to win the favor of Mr. Musk’s team.

It did not work. Institute leaders and the Department of Government Efficiency had been butting heads since at least Friday afternoon, when the White House sent all but three of the institute’s board members an email telling them they had been terminated.

The remaining board members — Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Peter A. Garvin, the president of the National Defense University — later replaced Mr. Moose as acting president with Kenneth Jackson, a State Department official who was involved in the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Ms. Lin said the institute was preparing to sue the administration over the removal of the board. Officials at the institute have refused to recognize those terminations.

Department of Government Efficiency officials first tried to gain access to the agency’s headquarters, just off the National Mall, on Friday afternoon, but representatives for the institute turned them away.

Mr. Musk’s team showed up again around 7 p.m. on Friday, accompanied by two F.B.I. agents, and showed the institute a document signed by the remaining board members that removed the institute’s acting president. But they left after a lawyer for the institute told them it was an independent agency outside the executive branch, Gonzo Gallegos, an institute spokesman, said in a statement on Saturday.

Over the weekend, the F.B.I. threatened institute employees over the lack of access to the building, Ms. Lin said.

She also said that Jonathan Hornok, the new chief of the criminal division of the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia, called George Foote, another lawyer for the institute, on Sunday night and made requests on behalf of Mr. Rubio and Mr. Hegseth to gain access to the institute’s “books and records.” When the institute resisted, he threatened a criminal investigation, she said. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office did not respond to requests for comment.

By Monday afternoon, signs newly posted to the doors of the building warned against trespassing and appeared to have been hastily created. One informed readers that the building was “closed until furthr notice.”

Musk representatives arrived on Monday afternoon in a black SUV with government plates and were escorted by what appeared to be private security who arrived in separate vehicles and were dressed in street clothing.

They tried one entrance, but could not seem to find a way inside and instead circled the building before getting back into the SUV.

After several minutes, two lawyers for the institute emerged from the building and approached the vehicle. What followed was a windowside negotiation: Mr. Musk’s representatives in the car, including a man who identified himself as Mr. Jackson, the State Department official and newly installed agency president, appeared to ask the lawyers to get in.

“I mean, I don’t know where you’re going to take us,” Ms. Lin said, declining.

“We don’t want to sit in here,” added Mr. Foote, the second lawyer for the institute, in a mellow, coaxing voice. “We can take a walk. We’ll take a walk, come on. It’s a nice day.”

Behind the car’s tinted windows, that offer appeared to be declined, and negotiations continued as rush hour traffic backed up behind the stalled vehicle and drivers laid on their horns. The parties appeared to agree to a hold a meeting over a video call.

Mr. Musk’s team did not get into the building until officers from Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department showed up, Ms. Lin said. Institute officials had called the police to report that Department of Government Efficiency members were trespassing, she said, but the police instead cleared institute leaders from the building.

A police spokesman, Tom Lynch, said that officers were called to the scene on a report of an unlawful entry and said the police left after the people who were seeking unlawful entry had left. He did not say who those people were or provide more information on what happened at the scene aside from the fact that no arrests had been made.

Two of the men, Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Aimonetti, a lawyer, were the same Musk officials who this month forced entry to the African Development Foundation, one of the government entities mentioned in the February executive order. They did not respond to shouted questions.

Late on Monday night, members of the Musk team, who are said to work around the clock, were still at the institute. Mr. Jackson could be seen working in the office of the president. They had dinner delivered: Sweetgreen and six pizzas.

esto lo hacen con el instituto este, mañana lo harán con sindicatos y con el propio partido demócrata o sus instituciones afines y tal

ya os va quedando claro el totalitarismo o qué??

y el fbi anda en el ajo, sea porque está cooptado con mandos truchos o porque son incapaces de poner pie en pared

esto pasó en alemania y en italia, o chile con pinochet o argentina con videla, pero ahora con menos violencia y menos "torturas" y menos vuelos de la muerte, pero sigue siendo eso

llamadme maximalista, pero están achicando todos los espacios de oposición y crítica

se están volcando en crear solo un espacio de opinión y de pensamiento, en poco tiempo hasta el nytimes podría ser objeto de "duda" sobre su "americanidad" o algo así...

En vez de por la vía de la represión física, judicial o política, lo están haciendo por la vía de cortar el acceso a sus rivales al dinero de la impresora y a los círculos de poder.

Por hablar en términos arquitectianos, quieren reemplazar al actual poder, que es viejuno ladrillero y bolsero (como Buffet) y ponerse ellos que son más jóvenes, posiblemente ladrilleros también (no se han posicionado públicamente sobre ésto todavía) y criptotruchos.

Por un lado digo que los viejunos se lo tienen muy bien merecido, yo también tengo ganas de dejarles en la absoluta miseria por justicia sobre la política de tierra quemada que han seguido desde la burbuja inmobiliaria de 2000, le han destrozado la vida a las siguientes generaciones y han arrasado todas las sociedades para enrocarse ellos en el poder y rebañar hasta el último céntimo.

padres educando a sus hijos, qué podría salir mal?



o sea, no tienes tiempo para comer, porque tienes 3 empleos para pagar tu mierda adobao en suburbio con cipotecón, y te vas a poner a enseñar "mates" o "lengua" a tu chaval que va a pasar mil de ir a la escuela (y con buen criterio) porque ahí solo aprende "battle royal" a tiros

se trata de quitar fondos a las escuelas federales (primaria y secundaria, pero fijo que meterán mano a las universidades también), los currículos son cosa de los Estados

che, cuanto más lo pienso, entre esto y lo del investigador francés que deportaron porque encontraron algunas frases críticas contra trump y casi le meten la anti-terrorista...

me da que ya tienen muy avanzada la demolición del estado y su sustitución por los "maga" más acérrimos como mamporreros del sistema

cuanto más pasa el tiempo, menos posibildades hay de una "revuelta" o una suerte de golpe militar (hay motivo, como que han vendido el país a putin)


tiranía o revolución


no hay mucho margen para cosas intermedias ya

bueno, si el plan es hundir empresas para comprarlas baratas o algo así, pues les está quedando niquelao

mientras, igual compran acciones de rheinmetall y polestar, que esas suben

en fin, no me dan pena los lookheed y demás, especialmente los vinculados a estos taraos, porque les han dejado ganar pensando en que "fiesta" del capitalismo o algo así

lo malo es que ahora no los van a poder echar

Pues que han comprendido lo de las hyper-identity politics y ven que la inmigración se está comiendo la tostada de los currelas a los que han hecho dumping salarial? Vamos, está claro que esa es una de las razones por las que la gentuza trumpista y tal crecen entre los currelas. En vez de llamarles "racistas" y "fascistas" pues les dicen que les escuchan (no porque les importen tres cojones los currelas, obviamente)...

Creo que es la única explicación que se me ocurre. Quieren achicar espacios y no quedarse con las neocatecumenales.

Crackdown Bill Exposes Democratic Rift on Immigration as Trump Takes Power


A G.O.P. measure to deport immigrants accused of minor crimes has spotlighted a divide among Democrats over how to position themselves on immigration, with some already shifting to the right.
