Their end goal is to remove Lonnie Bunch, an African-American, from being the head of the Smithsonian. Only with a white man back at the helm will Trump/maga declare the institution to their liking.
I cannot emphasize enough that the White House has no authority to withhold funds from the Smithsonian. It can, however, try to persuade/threaten Congress to reduce future funding.
“American people will have no patience” for any museum that is “uncomfortable conveying a positive view of American history,” Trump aides wrote.

"It was not immediately clear how much money the White House might try to withhold, from which parts of the Smithsonian or on what authority."

Correct.
"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

If you are traveling to the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck this weekend, you can still attend a No Kings protest!

The local No Kings protest is 10:30-12:30 at Lions Minipark in Rhinebeck.

Conventional wisdom is to settle for a BS funding deal that “minimizes damage.”

Newsflash: Trump doesn’t honor deals & he's already screwing the American people. 

You don’t cower in front of a bully.

You punch them right in the mouth & expose them for the fraud they are.

West Bank settler extremists deserve to be seen as the Jewish equivalent of the KKK in the post-Reconstruction US South: Violent extremists acting officially independently of the state, but with tacit state support, knowing they will not be punished.

If you reject that comparison, ask yourself why.

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
