JFK Library closed until further notice amid federal layoffs
Briefly

The JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Dorchester has closed indefinitely, linked to significant layoffs of federal employees by the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk. While the museum cited an executive order for its closure, critics, including Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy's grandson, argue that the layoffs undermine valuable historical education. The timing is particularly impactful as the closure coincides with the school vacation week, raising concerns about public access to historical resources and the hidden agenda behind such actions, as stated by Massachusetts Political figures.
Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy's grandson, shared on Instagram that the closure by DOGE is not about efficiency but about controlling historical narratives and propagating misinformation.
Steve Kerrigan criticized turning off access to the JFK Library during school vacation, asserting that the public did not endorse such actions by an unelected billionaire.
