Published September 17, 2025 12:01pm ET



Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) on Wednesday criticized President Donald Trump‘s efforts to overhaul museums and national parks.

“There is an organized effort by the federal government to erase our shared history and whitewash our museums and monuments,” Shapiro said in a social media post. “But they don’t have the power to dictate our values in Pennsylvania. Here, we learn from our full history — and we use it to build a better future.”
