I remain committed to ensuring the Smithsonian continues sharing our country’s inspiring story without partisan interference from this President or any other.
Presidents and their staff may be important stakeholders of the Smithsonian, but they do not have any legal authority to dictate how the Institution is run, or remove its leadership staff, much less dictate historical or scientific content.
I would revive a bill to prohibit restrictions on traveling across state lines for an abortion or other reproductive health care.
