The Trump administration will freeze potential plans to paint the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, granting a temporary victory to historic preservation groups who sued to block renovation of the 137-year-old building.
Trump administration agrees not to paint the Eisenhower building before 2026
Historic preservationist groups asked for a preliminary injunction to stop the government from making any changes to the building without undergoing a standard review process.

This is very good. Corruption is easy to understand and I've never understood why Dems don't use it as a cudgel against the most corrupt administration in all of US history.

Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job.

The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

In some ways the most notable feature of Trump 2.0 is the total absence of even pretending to care about being seen as corrupt. No facade at all. It’s just all corruption all the time.
Once wasn’t enough. Trump pardons a J6 rioter for a SECOND time.
