IMLS Overhauls Website, Promotes Administration-Backed AI Agenda

Between Feb. 25–27, the Institute of Museum and Library Services overhauled its homepage, adopting administration-aligned language and imagery tied to the 'Freedom Trucks' program. The article reports IMLS has faced staff cuts (from 98 to 40), two lawsuits (Rhode Island v. Trump; ALA v. Sonderling), redirected about $14 million to PragerU’s Freedom Trucks, and allocated over $4 million to eight AI education projects under the 2025 AI directives, raising concerns about politicized funding.
