The #Smithsonian Institution on Tuesday submitted documents to the #Trump administration including digital photographs of labels, placards & other texts on display in its #museums in response to a request from the White House, Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III said in a staff email that was obtained by The Washington Post.

The #Trump admin, in a December letter, set Tuesday as the deadline for the institution to submit a trove of materials for the admin’s sweeping content review, which aims to rid the #Smithsonian of what the White House has called “improper ideology.”
Bunch said in the email that the information covered materials “in several galleries” & that the Smithsonian would “continue to provide responsive information on a rolling basis” to the WH.#law #art #history #museums #FirstAmendment #censorship

…After months of relative quiet on the issue, the #Trump admin threatened in a Dec 18 letter addressed to Bunch to withhold federal funds for the #Smithsonian if it did not comply with a request to submit extensive documentation of its current & upcoming exhibits, wall labels, programming plans for America’s 250th birthday, & other aspects of its operations.#extortion #law #art #history #museums #Constitution #FirstAmendment #democracy #censorship #dictatorship #SevenMountainMandate

The Dec letter scolded the #Smithsonian for failing to hand over comprehensive materials after an ask earlier in the year, asserting that its initial response “fell far short of what was requested.”
“Funds apportioned for the Smithsonian Institution are only available for use in a manner consistent with Executive Order 14253 ‘Restoring Truth & Sanity to American History,’ & the fulfillment of the requests set forth in our Aug 12, 2025 letter,” Haley & Vought wrote.#Trump #law #FirstAmendment

@Nonilex I do wish more would understand that an executive order is not actually in, of itself, a law.Or, necessarily, even legal...

The referenced letter specifically called for a more aggressive review of 8 #Smithsonian #museums.In an email to staff in Dec, Bunch said the institution planned to send more information to the White House but stressed that “all content, programming, & curatorial decisions are made by the Smithsonian.” In a response to the #Trump admin…, Bunch asked the admin to “please understand that this work has been time consuming, involving many staff & departments throughout the Smithsonian.”#law #1A

The Smithsonian’s federal budget is appropriated by #Congress but disbursed by the Office of Management & Budget, which is controlled by the White House. Under #Trump, #OMB has previously withheld congressionally approved funds….Historically, the #Smithsonian, which is a public-private trust of the US govt and overseen by its board of regents, has operated largely #independently —but Trump has showed a new interest in influencing arts & culture during his 2nd admin.#law #SevenMountainMandate

@Nonilex The Smithsonian only needs to send 1% of the required documents, right? That's the precedent set by the release of the Trump/Epstein files.

@Nonilex Then a lot of things are going to be destroyed. Lincoln had PLENTY to say about slavery, and wrote about it often.

@Nonilex US history will be a little bit more positive once the Trump/Epstein files are released, and that orange skidmark is locked up.

@Nonilex Gee, did something happen with the Epstein files in December that got the Trump White House's Depends in a bunch?Was it by any chance the December 19 deadline from Congress to release the files? (A deadline that hasn't been observed.)Could this why they've picked a fight with the Smithsonian?

@Nonilex my response to them, "I am uncomfortable with any museum that does not acknowledge the mistakes of the past, that tries to view history through the rosy tint of propaganda. Progress is not made by lying to oneself."But NOW, "Fuck these guys!". They are not dumb enough to not know this is wrong. But they think we are dumb enough to not know that this is wrong. Fuck these guys, the time for logical explanations is over, time for consequences.Bigots do not improve with a talking to.

@Nonilex ah yes, the “positive view of American history” that changed labels under portraits of past potuses at the WH, and refused to hang the plaque honoring victims of Jan6th….ah yes, so much positivity.
