Correcting, as I had previously said "all".
Trump removed five members a few months into their five-year term; this was not a "business as usual" move that happens when the White House changes hands. All were Biden appointees.
He then added eight new members, inc radio hosts & reality TV stars.

One of the first things Trump did in office was to gut the boards of culturally-significant institutions and replace them with his mouthpieces.
The US Holocaust Museum was one of the zombified-- members were removed by Trump, and he added multiple members as well.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."
That's a death threat.
If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.
