NEW — After putting all Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS) employees on administrative leave Monday, I'm told DOGE is canceling congressionally-appropriated grants to state libraries across the entire country. Libraries are getting notice that funding was canceled as of 4/1.

I’ve been asking this for months and have never heard an explanation.
It looks like simply weakness.
Which means they wouldn't need funding, which means they can't send you an email asking for $20 to "stand up" to them.
Putin's thugs Trump & Elon want to ERASE our #history, ERASE our culture, ERASE our knowledge.
77 million gullible idiots created this situation. And they're fine letting their kids/grandkids grow up stupid - just like they are.

Lawyers ❤️ our receipts.

Did anyone who can do something about it give up or find there’s nothing they can do?
There's plenty they can do. Booker did what they should all be doing; grinding the Senate to a halt. They just aren't.
Wtf @schumer.senate.gov
Cruelty is the point.
But also, this admin clearly does not want kids to be educated.
you've "lost" 10M dollars

Since a list like this is exactly what many R voters DO consider wasteful, it would be helpful to rebut the DOGE lies with facts about what is actually being cut. We need to be able to show them how they were lied to.

And increasingly our nightmares.
Historically, that meant the Feds intervened when some states fell due to ignorant leadership.
If rising tides lift all boats, this admin is rowing hard in the opposite direction.
As moral, empathetic individuals, you and I will never be able to understand their motivations.
Note that I said "tread." If I were referencing DOGE dipshits, I'd have said "stomp into the consistency of chunky salsa".
Please do not misrepresent me.
It's like hating the penguins and putting a tariff on them except it's not a dumb mistake you forgot to take out your generated spreadsheet, it's real dislike.
They capture it in their dumb buzzwords but they just don't like libraries and I don't get it.
