Ugh, like, what even is this Theodore Roosevelt Library thing? I heard it's supposed to be a big deal for history buffs or something. But like, why should I care? Sounds like a waste of money to me. Who even benefits from this? 🙄

I don't understand why this bill is taking away our history artifacts. Will this affect my local museum too?
