Next DOGE will defund gasoline in police cars and applaud their &quot;trillions of savings&quot; over the next 1,000 years.<p>I feel bad for anyone that is spending their lives on forums defending these puffed up hall monitors who were sent in to &quot;fuck shit up&quot; and will eventually end up in jail as scapegoats.

To be clear the United States Institute for Peace is not a federal agency. It&#x27;s a non-profit buisness with an EIN 52-1503251 and a W9 like every other non-profit. DOGE seized a private business. If they can seize USIP they can seize your start up. There&#x27;s no legal difference. Here&#x27;s their 990 form: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;filing-service.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&#x2F;scanned-pdfs&#x2F;200909&#x2F;521503251&#x2F;9571012&#x2F;52-1503251_990_200909.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;filing-service.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&#x2F;scanned-pd...</a>

The USAID building, which may not have actually been an executive agency under WhiteHouse control<p>They are in full spite mode.<p>Will take DECADES to rebuild and that may be the point.

So, the government funds them, the President issued an order to dismantle them, and now another government agency wants the building? That last part seems reasonable.<p>Whether dismantling them is right or wrong seems to be the real question here.

Hard to know if this is April Fools. United States Institute of Peace doesn&#x27;t have a funny acronym.

Click bait headlines allowed on here now? It clearly states they are giving it to the GSA which is the government - where the funds originally came from. Can&#x27;t hand these people money without them complaining ..
