A lot of great journalism takes time, support and money.
In 2021, I FOIA’d the database of USPS’s New Deal art, and each work’s condition.
In 2022, records came back with a massive spreadsheet & 1,700+ historical photos.
In 2024, I wrote the first draft of this story, at home in bed with Covid.
And now, we can finally bring you the full project.

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.
