The State Department has also been forced to freeze the Fulbright Program and and Critical Languages Scholarships, among other exchange programs, because nothing says "America First" like "we don't care about understanding other places anymore"
This has kind of gotten buried in the news cycle for obvious reason, but the Presidential Management Fellows program has been shut down.
It's another example of how this Admin is canceling out the next generation of leaders.

More photos from the Freeark House, including one of its architects, John Vinci, who fondly recalled working with Lawrence Kenny and the Freearks to bring it into its magnificent being. The graceful lines and curves are just breathtaking. May we all hold up so well!

Delighted to visit the Freeark House today in Riverside, IL. Designed by John Vinci and Lawrence Kenny, 1971-75, and warmly opened by Kim Freeark to members of SoCoMCM (the Southland Collective of Mid Century Modern).

The architects are making sure there'll be lots of opportunities for little moments of creative whimsy with the renovation, like this one, courtesy of Lillian Swann Saarinen.
