In the most recent installment of Letters from an American, Heather Cox Richardson writes about the destruction of a building and the creation of an arch:
Since taking office in January 2025, officials in the second Trump administration have made war on the vision of government embodied by the Social Security Act, promoting in its place a return to the rugged individualism that is even less true today than it was a century ago.[I began reading this installment much earlier this morning and had to give up for a while. It’s all too much. Too much, too much.]
Now the administration is getting rid of the building built to house the Social Security Administration, along with the murals that champion the government’s role in protecting the equality and security of ordinary people, while Trump contemplates building a triumphal arch, carving MAGA ideology into the nation’s capital in stone.
