On March 17th, the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency broke into the nonprofit, congressionally funded US Institute for Peace, according to court documents filed by the USIP’s board of directors. By allegedly threatening to “cancel every federal contract” of a private security firm that had worked with USIP until a day earlier, they convinced it to let them into the building — where, told by institute staff they were trespassing, the fired security firm headed for the USIP gun safe. That’s when the USIP called the cops. The DC police arrived to escort DOGE into the building. USIP head of security Colin O’Brien, along with two of USIP’s lawyers, was detained.

    SCOTUS gave trump blanket immunity for all crimes committed while he is president. In any case, he has already defied the courts with impunity. Cops and military are overwhelmingly Trump supporters, and most of them know so little about the constitution that any pledges to uphold it are meaningless. Your next election will be engineered to have one outcome: victory for Trump. Americans need to realize that there are no longer any legal methods to resist.
