Can Donald Trump demolish parts of the White House
The short answer is yes, but like with most things, it's complicated.
I wrote an article about thelack of process that is "allowing" President Trump to tear down the East Wing. I'm also writing a conference paper on the subject and would love to speak to any SMEs on the process of altering or construction on a Section 107 property: elwelch.substack.com/p/can-donald...

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because itโs even worse today.

Another Milestone
This weekend, I mailed off my first Preliminary Interest Form (PIF) to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
This past weekend, I submitted my first PIF for the Virginia Landmarks Register and NRHP completed entirely by myself. I'm not sure what will happen next, but I'm proud to have been able to cross this milestone!

Thank you so much! I'll be interested in seeing your data on water consumption of data centers. I live in Loudoun County, VA, and not only are data centers encroaching on our historic resources, the rampant development and harm to our environment is visible.
