Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

The litigation over who has lawful control of the USIP building plays on, with the Trump administration maintaining control for now. But I'm proud @rcfp.org and I were able to obtain this footage and shed important light on DOGE's intentions when they entered the USIP building nearly one year ago.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

The U.S. made this class of stunningly stupid, pudding-soft MAGA parasites who have managed to move through life without ever encountering genuinely meaningful pushback. This led them to starting this wildly dangerous war in Iran - and looks like their reality distortion field is no longer working.

Given my experience with cats, I think this is more a "Cat, get out from under Snickers!" situtation.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

We could, but we won't. I made the "feminist choice"-that-wasn't-a-choice to take my son with me as an infant and toddler to public meetings and civic events. I was told more than once, almost always by men, that "children don't belong at meetings like this." Which definitionally means "no mothers."

That's not true, but Trotsky waited patiently for that ice axe to fall expressly because he was avoiding an interview he had scheduled the next day with Chotiner.

I suppose it depends on who ends up bleeding, and for how long.

Wait, did she really give him a pretend job so they could keep fucking? I thought he was just a hanger-on that staff was uncomfortably ignoring.

Trump can't pardon torts, and he can't pardon state crimes.

Because these people are chin-dribbling stupid, Aaron. They believe in their thousand year reich.

Got bad news on that "whoever follows her" front, re: caring about the rule of law and abiding by the US Constitution. A colleague of yours, I believe.

Get it together, Senate. Break your "0 days without being a national embarassment" streak just once! I believe in you!

Love that for her.

That's exactly what the pivot was ca. 2001-2005 and onwards.

I keep wondering which event will bring an end to all you people ballwashing Trump's latest fit of idiocy but no. No, apparently "ballwashing" is your default setting now.

You know damn well there is *ample* evidence for this.

You know why. We all know why.

Mine were both chemists and neither served in WWII as both were determined to be crucial for the war effort at home. Of all 5 grandparents, only one served: my nana was a Marine on Hawaii. My papa mailed her engagement ring out to her, because people trusted the US mail in those days.

Across multiple fronts of policymaking, the administration has pursued measures that deepen housing precarity, hollow out social supports, and widen the gulf between those amassing wealth from housing and those being pushed out of it—while subjecting the latter to ever crueler, more puntive tactics.

It would be bad enough if this administration were preserving an already disastrous status quo. Instead, it has poured gasoline on the fire.

One could be forgiven for thinking Trump and his advisors studied this crisis, identified the levers most likely to ease it... and decided to do the opposite.

And yet, even as this calamity deepens, vast numbers remain invisible: deprived of a home, but neither counted nor recognized by the federal government as "homeless."

There's a whole world of homelessness that has been deliberately defined out of existence.

Nearly eight years ago, when I began reporting on the "working homeless," it was treated as an edge case, a tragedy at the margins.

That fiction has collapsed.

Housing insecurity is now an ever-widening sinkhole, swallowing not only the poor and working class but entire swaths of the middle class.

FORTY-SEVEN NEIGHBORS shackled and loaded onto this Global X ICE flight today at Baltimore’s BWI.

There are four ICE flights a week now taking our Maryland neighbors to detention centers down South.

I'm actually 1000% on team "disarm the drunks" because all the drunks I know who had access to firearms eventually turned those guns on themselves. But far be it for me to care more about the drunks than they do themselves, I guess. (I'm talking about current serving Justices on the SCROTUS.)

So I've always wondered: What is Warmbo's basal body temperature?

The economic situation in Cuba is rapidly devolving precisely because the Trumpist idiots destabilized the Venezuelan supply lines that were keeping the island in fuel. This goes beyond "wanting" to do anything, they are deliberately destroying the economic activity of 10 million people.

Your ass wrote this check. I intend to cash it before the end of the decade, so prepare yourselves.

No president should be making billions off the presidency.

No member of Congress should be trading stocks on inside information.

Period.

I love this brave new world where the government murders someone via negligence and we can all go yell at their social media account managers, who are apparently under orders to post "nuh uh!" as a response. The American Experiment continues to unfold.

Thank you for using your platform to call out the illegal gutting of State Dept staff who worked to combat trafficking in persons. This is nothing less than institutional, social, and cultural vandalism, it is illegal, and it is on-going.
