| Trump moves to sell off FBI and DOJ headquarters in purge of 'non-core' government buildings |
| 2025-03-06 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The Trump administration has published a list of more than 440 federal properties to be closed or sold after deeming them 'not core to government operations.' Hours later, however, the administration issued a revised list with only 320 entries - none in Washington, D.C. The General Services Administration, which published the list, did not explain the change and why some properties had been removed. The initial list had included some of the country's most recognizable buildings, along with courthouses, offices and even parking garage and spanned nearly every state. The potential sell-off appears to be part of Trump's effort to slash the size of the federal government, led by tech billionaire Elon Musk. The downsizing drive has already led to 100,000 workers taking buyouts or being fired. Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has claimed that it has saved $105 billion so far, in part by cancelling leases on government properties. Budget experts have cast doubt on the reliability of DOGE's data. In Washington, D.C., the list includes the Old Post Office, which formerly housed the Trump International Hotel and is newly renovated. |

| #4 I am happy to say Georgia had its share on the chopping block list in Atlanta and other GA areas. But the GSA list has been pulled, as of Last night. |
