GSA posted a list of government buildings it wants to sell, then took it down and said another list would be posted later.
I am most familiar with the buildings in Woodlawn, MD. This looks like most or all of the Social Security headquarters complex there. Most of the buildings were built around 1960 but were totally renovated in the 2000s. There’s also a building in Wilkes-Barre, PA that was built as a data center in the early 1990s. What is Trump up to? Are they going to contract part or all of SSA’s work out?

My guess is not much. Even if the judge penalizes the administration, Trump’s DOJ won’t do anything.
I worked for the federal government for almost 38 years. It was a stable place to work before Trump. His terrible actions will make it hard to hire people in the future. Let’s say a Democrat is elected in 2028 and wants to rebuild agencies Trump destroyed. Why would anyone want to work there knowing the next president could just get rid of you? If you were a scientist, the next president could take your work and throw it in the trash.
Here are links to two Washington Post articles which show how badly Trump is treating employees – it could happen again with a future president.

Sad!
