Multiple sources report on the Trump administration's proposed "skinny budget" for FY26, which calls for significant cuts to non-defense discretionary spending, including the elimination of funding for cultural and educational agencies such as the NEA, NEH, IMLS, and CPB. The sources also detail various legal challenges arising from the administration's actions, including lawsuits filed by the CPB challenging the attempted removal of board members, several organizations suing over the dismantling of the NEH, and the ALA and AFSCME securing a temporary restraining order against the dismantling of IMLS. These actions are seen as part of a broader effort to reduce federal spending and reshape government priorities, though they face resistance from Congress and various organizations.
