ProPublica is attempting to document who is or was involved with DOGE, and what exactly they were doing.
Many DOGE employees tried to scrub the internet of personal info and of what they did before DOGE.

By now, ProPublica has identified over 100 employees!

“The State Department will begin moving some of its offices into the United States Institute of Peace building as early as next week, despite the fact that the building’s ownership remains under pending litigation” Whole thing is piracy. Plus they stole their trust fund. Where’s the money?

USIP is not part of the federal government. It is “an independent nonprofit” separate from the government, according to terms set by Congress.

Rubio’s State Department isn’t misappropriating resources from another branch (bad enough).

This is looting.

Thanks to @marisakabas.bsky.social for covering a story the MSM has ignored.

With #USIP, as with everything:
♦️Trump does something utterly lawless.
♦️Months later, a judge tells him to stop.
♦️He doesn't.
♦️And nobody makes him.
♦️News cycle has LONG moved on.
♦️So nobody cares.

SCOOP — Select State Department offices will start moving into the US Institute of Peace building as early as next week, The Handbasket is first to report, with Kristi Noem’s “Shield of the Americas” among them.

This is despite ongoing litigation since the DOGE raid on the building last March.

Moose’s argument is that war-fighting and peace-building are different crafts, and that the United States has weakened itself by crippling one of the few institutions designed to do the latter across administrations.
“History shows that a cessation of hostilities does not inevitably result in a durable peace.”
“Peace work should not be politicized.”
Ambassador George Moose, “If the U.S. Wants Durable Peace, It Must Protect the Institutions That Build It,” Just Security, 17-Mar-2026.

Ambassador George Moose argues that durable peace cannot be improvised after war, and that dismantling the U.S. Institute of Peace has stripped the United States of an independent, bipartisan tool for conflict prevention, mediation, and post-conflict stabilisation.

Nate Cavanaugh has gone viral recently for his taped deposition about DOGE eliminating "DEI" grants.

He's also a key figure in our story from last year. We found that he helped expose a sensitive Afghanistan program, leading to a brutal Taliban crackdown.

Year After Trump Takeover, Institute of Peace Is Little More Than Scenery

“Despite a winding legal challenge, the institute lies defunct, its elegant headquarters along the National Mall now emblazoned with President Trump’s name and used as a backdrop for ceremonies with foreign leaders.”👇🏼

#Trump, the poser, is the antithesis of peace.

“DOGE officials knew that the USIP headquarters was a private building that was not owned by the federal government, so they couldn’t gain access on their own. ‘[A]nd the DC MPD allowed them to enter despite that fact,’ Kabas reported.”

Which the current administration "renamed" The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in December. And as Acting Head he transferred the ownership of the 500 million dollar USIP building to General Services. This was deemed illegal and then a stay was granted. The legal battle is ongoing.
