Trump administration
The Trump administration has dropped its appeal in Rhode Island v. Trump, upholding a federal judge's order to halt the dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Judge John J. McConnell issued a permanent injunction in November, requiring the restoration of grant funding after the agency lost more than half its staff. The decision preserves operations for the federal agency supporting public libraries and museums.

The Trump-Vance administration has proposed eliminating the budget for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for fiscal year 2027, marking the sixth such attempt. This follows a 10-month battle last year to secure funding for fiscal year 2026 after a prior proposal to sunset the agency. The budget also cuts funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities.
