Why dismantle agencies that serve the public good?

The recent executive order to eliminate federal agencies includes cuts to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)—a key supporter of libraries, archives, and museums across the country. These institutions preserve our history, provide educational resources, and foster community engagement. Cutting IMLS weakens access to knowledge and culture in every state.

Equally troubling is the elimination of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), which plays a crucial role in coordinating efforts to prevent and end homelessness. As someone living in Los Angeles—the city with the largest homeless population in the U.S.—I can tell you firsthand that we need more solutions, not fewer.

These cuts are short-sighted and counterproductive. Strong communities require investment in cultural institutions and social services, not their dismantling. What do you think?
