To put more emphasis on this: Hundreds of thousands of Americans in at least 1400 cities and towns across the country, including in heavily Republican areas that never protest, protested Trump and Musk and their 401Ks being wiped out yesterday, and it’s NOT a main front page story in the Times.
And the only mention of it on the actual print front page is just an image with a caption telling people they need to turn to page 18 to read about it. Not worthy of a front page story, apparently.

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

The Institute for Museum and Library Services Was Just Gutted
DOGE fired all IMLS employees and closed down their emails. It is assumed all funding for 2025 coming from the federal agency will not be happening.

This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.
