## Resource

President Trump just signed an executive order demanding temporary signs around the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History—aimed at correcting what the administration calls “inaccurate” portrayals of U.S. history. The move, framed as restoring public trust, follows criticism from the White House and some GOP lawmakers who argue the museum leans too heavily into social justice narratives rather than presenting history as a shared national story. The Smithsonian has stayed silent for now, while the world watches as signs are set to go up ahead of the 250th anniversary of American independence—specifically targeting how the museum honors the Declaration’s signers. This isn’t just about history—it’s about who gets to define the nation’s story. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
