Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
The DC Preservation League and law firm Cultural Heritage Partners have filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump seeking an emergency injunction to prevent him from altering the appearance of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington DC. The conservation groups argue that Trump plans to repaint the 19th-century National Historic Landmark without proper review, which could cause irreversible damage to the historic structure. The lawsuit claims the administration is attempting to bypass preservation laws and procedures that normally require consultation with preservation experts before making changes to historically significant federal buildings.
