Today, House Republicans advanced the fiscal year 2027 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies funding bill out of subcommittee.

The bill also guts resources for the arts and museums while remaining silent about the administration using the National Endowment for the Humanities as a slush fund for Trump’s Garden of Heroes and Triumphal Arch.
