The White House and the remnants of Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative ordered the shutdown of the U.S. Institute of Peace over the weekend via email telling staff they are fired, this time with the backing of a federal court.
CNN and WUSA9 reported the firings Saturday, when emails were sent out to between 200 to 300 people at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. — nearly the entire staff in the building. A handful remained to close out the institute’s operations, per the reports.
