The Senate Appropriations Committee just rejected President Trump’s proposal to eliminate the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities — instead approving $207 million in funding for each Endowment in the FY26 Interior Appropriations bill.
✅ The bill also protects funding for the Smithsonian Institution and ensures the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women’s History Museum remain open.
