Under the terms of the redevelopment of the #StElizabeths West Campus, the #FederalGovernment is required to provide preservationists 3 business days to respond to an “emergency” notification regarding the property, acc/to preservationists.

The #GSA notified DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s admin of the plan on the evening of Dec 23. The GSA’s emailed letter to the city included Noem’s memo, as well as a safety assessment report completed Dec19.

DHS’s proposed #demolition is prompting opposition from the #NationalTrust for #HistoricPreservation & the #DC
#Preservation League, which are seeking to participate in a detailed on-site assessment of the structures, 9 of which were built in the late 1800s.

In a letter sent Sunday to the #GSA, the preservationist orgs raise “strong objections” to the proposed demolition, contending that no evidence of an emergency exists beyond “Secretary Noem’s unilateral declaration” of one.

#DHS is seeking to fast-track the #demolition of 15 #historic buildings at #StElizabeths in SE Washington, DC, asserting the conditions of the vacant structures represent an “emergency” & pose potential security risks….
#KristiNoem, in a Dec 19 memo to the #GSA, said the buildings “constitute a present risk to life & property” on the 176-acre West Campus, a fortified complex that Homeland Security has been transforming into its new HQ over the past 15 years.

…The #NationalTrust …alleges that the #Trump admin violated the #Constitution’s property clause, which authorizes #Congress to oversee property on #FederalLand.

The National Trust’s lawsuit names Trump & other admin officials, including at the National Park Service [#NPS] & the General Services Administration [#GSA], as defendants.

Almost exactly 1 yr ago, #SusieWiles, now serving as Trump’s chief of staff, described the decision not to sign the #GSA agreement as a way to “save taxpayers’ hard-earned money”🤨. At the time, she also pledged to disclose the names of #donors & to ensure that no noncitizens contributed….

#Trump had reported raising $6.5M for his first presidential transition, all from private donations under the $5k cap. In 2021, President Joe #Biden disclosed $22.1M in contributions to his transition.

Paul Ingrassia, who withdrew from a federal watchdog nomination last month after racist comments surfaced, is now moving to a new role as deputy general counsel at the GSA. Previously serving as White House liaison to DHS, Ingrassia was tapped by Trump for the Office of Special Counsel but withdrew due to lack of Senate support. Despite controversy, he calls his team "character and integrity," and the White House promotes his new position as advancing "America First" policies. Will this shift impact his influence or raise new concerns? More here: politico.com/news/2025/11/13/t #Politics #GSA #FederalJobs #Trump #Controversy #PublicService

#FensterFreitag Marooned 'flatiron' building. The former #Glasgow savings bank building. On Shamrock St. by the Glasgow School of Art #GSA and a magnificent Chinese bakery. Hard Recommend!

The rounded narrow end of a 'Flatiron' building marooned by development. In red sandstone. A weather vane tops a cupola over a vertical line of three windows, above a wooden door, behind a metal lattice shutter. Columns either side of the door with ornate carvings and ornaments. Paddington bear pensively surveys the view from the lower window

Investigators were met with armed guards, blacked-out windows, and officials who refused to say who was in charge. #GSA offices were converted into bedrooms with Starlink installed—presumably to bypass government IT monitoring.

No major press outlet is covering this. The cloud system is still active. And the people who should be protecting your ...

DOGE’s “Efficiency” Theater Comes Full Circle: Trump Admin Scrambles To Rehire The Very Workers Musk Fired To “Save Money”

#Senate staff probes DOGE, finds locked doors and windows covered with trash bags

Multiple #whistleblowers alleged that #DOGE uploaded a highly sensitive #SocialSecurity Administration ( #SSA ) database to an unmonitored cloud environment, according to a report by Senate Democratic staff. The staff report describes an investigation into DOGE activities at 3 agencies, including a site visit at the #GSA in which DOGE officials appeared to be hiding certain areas from view

"Trump administration rehires hundreds of federal employees laid off by DOGE

Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.

The General Services Administration has given the employees — who managed government workspaces — until the end of the week to accept or decline reinstatement, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press. Those who accept must report for duty on Oct. 6 after what amounts to a seven-month paid vacation, during which time the GSA in some cases racked up high costs — passed along to taxpayers — to stay in dozens of properties whose leases it had slated for termination or were allowed to expire.

'Ultimately, the outcome was the agency was left broken and understaffed,' said Chad Becker, a former GSA real estate official. 'They didn’t have the people they needed to carry out basic functions.'

Becker, who represents owners with government leases at Arco Real Estate Solutions, said GSA has been in a “triage mode” for months. He said the sudden reversal of the downsizing reflects how Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency had gone too far, too fast."
