IMLS was created by Congress and was reauthorized the last time by a 331-28 in a Republican-controlled House in 2018 and by unanimous consent in the Senate. Trump signed the law, which doesn't give DOGE the authority to get the agency that helps museums and libraries.

DOGE has just completely gutted the IMLS, firing all staff, closing down their email addresses, and leaving any funding for 2025 in question.
