Excellent essay, @SenatorBanks ! My own research using biometrics has come to the same conclusion, the evidence is overwhelming that beauty matters for architecture and urban design: https://t.co/mFGxlcB3aq

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Architecture matters because the American people matter.

Americans still believe in distinction, continuity and democratic self-government.

The nation’s public buildings should reflect those ideals.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Thank you, @POTUS.

Americans deserve beautiful buildings.

Our architecture should remind Americans of the values that have guided our country for 250 years.

I wish to extend our warm congratulations to the people of the United States on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

As a young student at Furman Unversity I remember reading the Federalist Paper and the Declaration of Independence.

”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Finland's ties to the United States reach back to its founding. Among the signers of the Declaration was John Morton, a Founding Father who is remembered for being of Finnish descent.

The United States and the Federalist Papers have played an important role in laying the foundation for constitutional democracies across the world.

Today as friends and allies our countries work together more closely than ever. Finland looks forward to the next 250 years of friendship and partnership.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For 250 years, America has been the greatest nation on Earth — and with God’s grace, it will be for 250 more.

Happy Independence Day!

My op-ed in today's @washingtonpost: "Not Every Smithsonian Has to Be on the National Mall: The Women's History and Latino Museums Should Be Built on the Energy Department Headquarters Site." [pictured] To quote:

The collapse of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum bill last month was ugly... But the tumult that killed the bill should not distract from a separate problem: the proposed site.

In October 2022, @smithsonian announced its favored sites for two long-authorized museums: the American Women’s History Museum and the National Museum of the American Latino. The storied institution wanted to jam them into two awkwardly shaped parcels of land on the National Mall: one close to the Washington Monument, the other by the Tidal Basin...

Yet the Mall ought to be preserved from massive structures that block important views and occupy much-needed public space... A solution is staring the Smithsonian in the face...

Directly across Independence Avenue from the Smithsonian Castle is the soon-to-be-vacated James V. Forrestal Building, which served as the Energy Department headquarters... Forrestal is a stained Brutalist superblock, a product of 1960s urban renewal.. .

[T]he Office of Management and Budget authorized Forrestal’s expedited disposal last year...

The timing could not be better. With the megastructure gone, the Women’s History Museum and the Latino Museum can replace it...

The damage [to the neighborhood] could be further repaired by using the Forrestal site as a catalyst for overhauling the surrounding district. A plan developed in 2023, in a @civicartsociety collaboration with Catholic University’s architecture school, would accomplish that by extending the Mall southward from the Smithsonian Castle to the waterfront, replacing the Brutalist Southwest Federal Center with 15 acres of green space. The plan connects the Mall to the Wharf through museums, plazas and promenades.

Barack Obama's new Presidential Library is opening up this weekend... what kind of architecture is it, does it make good urbanism? Join Tufts Professor @justinhollander live this Friday at 1PM here: https://t.co/yFczKY5oDj

@SecDuffy @POTUS Wonderful news, @SecDuffy! My team @TuftsUniversity has developed a beautiful new classical design for the Portland, Maine Ferry Terminals - we're following in your footsteps!

[Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman @AriBermanYU]

Today in the streets of New York, Jews of every background — and our allies — stood together with joy, pride and clarity.

Israel is one of the most extraordinary stories in the modern world: an ancient people returning home; a democracy built on freedom and purpose; a small nation whose innovation blesses all humanity.

It is a story of courage, sacrifice, faith, family, memory, and hope.

Am Yisrael Chai.

Road traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young people, yet they remain overlooked. We can change that. That’s why @bloombergdotorg is committing $350 million to make streets safer and support cycling infrastructure worldwide.

🚨 Israel is under attack — Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel, including key cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

The attack activated Israel’s missile defense systems all over the country and sent millions of civilians into bomb shelters.

These attacks are just the latest in an all-around offensive against Israel from all fronts. This reality, which began on October 7, must come to an end.

France is building 300,000 new homes annually, by using tram networks to unlock new homes. A model Britain has yet to master. Our latest report with @thomasableman (Freewheeling) and @CBTransport takes senior politicians and policymakers behind the scenes in France to uncover the structural, funding, and leadership secrets that could finally help the UK build at scale. Discover what they learned about creating "gentle density" and why tram-enabled housing might be closer to reality than you think with our full report 'Towns and Trams' launching today https://t.co/iBdEVYUlwp

This project would not have been possible without funding from Steve Gooding and the @racfoundation
