That will mean Sweet FA to the vandals in the White House. In fact, they will see it as an open invitation to gleefully flout the law and wreck even more "woke" stuff. Remember, we are talking about the Trump family, who bought Coney Island and delighted in throwing stones through the iconic stained glass windows.Art News: "Earlier this week, a retired General Services Administration official accused the Trump administration of attempting to demolish four historic federal buildings in Washington, D.C., including the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building, Bloomberg Law reported. The former official, Mydelle Wright, made the allegation in a supplemental declaration filed in a case brought by preservation groups seeking to stop President Trump from painting a stone federal building. Wright said the White House is soliciting bids for the demolition of the buildings without the involvement of the GSA, which she added has “sole authority over this process” when it comes to maintaining government buildings.
The article continued, "...the [Cohen] building originally housed the Social Security Administration. Inside are several murals celebrating the Social Security Act of 1935, a landmark piece of New Deal legislation. Among them is a suite of murals by Ben Shahn titled The Meaning of Social Security, with three panels depicting the ills of society before the New Deal, followed by several panels illustrating an idealized New Deal vision. The building also contains a large mural by Philip Guston, Reconstruction and Well-Being of the Family, as well as two by Seymour Fogel, Wealth of the Nation and The Security of the People...The building has been designated a D.C. landmark and is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites."
