Piastri’s lead over Norris in the standings was cut to 13 points, with Verstappen nine behind Norris.
That ruling came after she held a status hearing and learned that DOGE-installed leadership had already initiated and completed the transfer of the headquarters before the plaintiffs could even get to court. Howell equated the quick action toUSIP’s acting president and CEO, George Moose, said in a briefing that the actions against the institute have had a traumatic impact on the staff and people around the world who have worked with the institute. “I don’t think there’s any question that this has caused harm and damage, some of which in fact will be irreparable,” the former U.S. ambassador said.
Moose said how quickly the staff can try to resume its work and repair the damage depends on how the administration responds.“We have an understanding that we once we return to the building, the challenge of restarting and recovering and rebuilding is in fact, going to take time,” he said. “We anticipate that we’re going to have to do this in phases starting out modestly” with what resources are available.As word of the court action spread an impromptu group of about two dozens employees gathered in front of the headquarters and cheered as parts of Howell’s ruling were read aloud. All understood it was only the first step in what they expect to be a longer court battle before they can return to work.
Tonis Montes, 36, who worked in the institute’s Gandhi-King Global Academy said she felt vindicated but “there’s a lot to interpret in the ruling. If it were up to us, we’d be in that building, getting to work.”Nicoletta Barbera, 36, and the acting director of the West Africa and Central Africa programs, said she was ecstatic “but aware this is just step one, but happy that some justice prevailed today.”

Everyone has that win it or wear it attitude, and it races differently because of that.”
A sense of resignation from the All-Star Race’s annual format overhauls also makes it easier to accept the inanity of a random yellow.“I have a hard enough time keeping up with all of the different format stuff,” Team Penske’s Austin Cindric said. “It doesn’t really bother me that much that we’re going to have a Promoter’s Caution because, unless I’m the caution, I can’t control it in any way. It’s just the racing gods, but maybe they’re on earth this time.”
Though its timing could cost him a win, Logano is fine with the Promoter’s Caution because “the All-Star Race presents the opportunity to try things outside of the box.“I don’t think we should have a Promoter’s Caution in points-paying events,” he said. “But in this case, we do something different. It’s something everyone can talk about. And I just don’t know what they’re going to do. Are they going to put Marcus in the flag stand, and he’s just going to throw a yellow flag?”
