The director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History facing a congressional grilling Tuesday over accusations that she has turned the taxpayer-funded institution into a vehicle for left-wing activism.
Republican lawmakers questioning Anthea Hartig during a House Oversight Delivering on Government Efficiency, or DOJ, subcommittee hearing focused on the Smithsonian's presentation of American history.
The hearing coming just weeks after the White House published a 162-page report accusing the museum of failing to present the nation's heritage in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of the country.
The Independence Day report arguing the museum gives insufficient attention to the founding fathers and the nation's founding while placing an outsized focus on slavery, immigration, woke gender ideology.
the Smithsonian receiving more than half of its roughly $1 billion annual budget from federal sources, including money directly appropriated by Congress, President Trump previously signing an executive order directing Vice President J.D.
Vance and federal budget officials to prevent taxpayer money from supporting exhibits or programs that degrade shared American values, divide the public by race, or promote ideologies at odds with federal policy.
Republican Congressman Tim Burchard of Tennessee, who chairs the Doge subcommittee in his opening statement, accusing Hartig of helping move the museum away from its original mission and toward a fixation on race, sexuality, inequality, and oppression.
Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas highlighting some of the more absurd material promoted by the Smithsonian.
Harding pushing back on accusations that the museum denigrates the country.
Democratic Congressman Jasmine Crockett of Texas responding with her usual theatrics, dismissing the entire proceeding as an effort to whitewash American history.
New York Democratic Congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offering her strongest indication yet that she may be eyeing the White House in 2028.
Asked by Politico about her presidential prospects, AOC responding, quote, I mean, I can't say that I've ruled it out.
The comment coming during a weekend swing through Michigan where Ocasio-Cortez joined Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders to campaign for far-left Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed
AOC emerging as one of El-Sayed's most prominent national supporters after endorsing him earlier this month in Michigan's closely watched Democrat Senate primary, the appearance marking the latest stop in a national campaign schedule carrying Ocasio-Cortez well beyond her New York district.
She spent much of last year appearing alongside Senator Sanders at his so-called fighting oligarchy rallies before increasingly taking to the trail on behalf of candidates that she's personally selected.
AOC withholding her support from former main Senate candidate Graham Plattner.
Despite the early enthusiasm surrounding his campaign, the congresswoman telling Politico that staying out of a primary should not necessarily be viewed as a rejection, adding, quote, But I think that me choosing to enter a race has a high bar because I put a lot of energy into every candidate that I endorse.
Her choices on the campaign trail are not the only signs fueling speculation about 2028.
Axios observing a noticeable change in Ocasio-Cortez political language in recent months, the democratic socialist increasingly pairing her calls for sweeping economic change with a more inspirational appeal.
Here, for instance, a recent campaign appearance.
