This is a short clip from the 19 March 2025 Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC concerning the invasion and closure of the US Institute of Peace.
The US Institute of Peace is an independent, non-profit agency created by the US Congress to host programs and fund research designed to reduce conflict around the world. For whatever reason (or perhaps there is no reason), DOGE decided to forcibly shut it down.
Comment: I have attended many events over the past 25 years at USIP and never witnessed one that in any way could be considered contrary to the foreign policy interests of the administration occupying the White House at the time. One has to wonder what is going on in Washington.
