Trump Notifies Congress of Intent to Eliminate All Public Broadcasting Funding

Amen. Defund the beast. Why are we funding an enemy that hates this country and have actively worked to destroy it?

For years, Americans have been on the hook for subsidizing NPR and PBS as they spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as “news.”

As @POTUS has said, funding their biased content is a waste.

The White House has begun to notify Congress of its request to eliminate “all” public broadcasting funding and codify foreign aid cuts identified by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, The Post has learned. Major clawbacks in the so-called “rescissions” plan include $1.1 billion appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funds to PBS and National Public Radio, and $8.3 billion from USAID. A memo drafted by White House budget director Russ Vought — and requested by GOP congressional leaders — accuses CPB of a “lengthy history of anti-conservative bias” and cites “waste, fraud, and abuse” at USAID. Formal transmission of the plan to lawmakers will start a 45-day clock for the Republican-held House and Senate to either adopt or reject the blueprint, which the White House believes will pass — unlike President Trump’s 2018 rescission plan, which failed by one vote in the Senate (New York Post).

Charlie Kirk: The Trump admin is planning to deliver on yet another campaign promise by asking Congress to cancel ALL public spending on PBS and NPR ($1.1 billion) and to codify foreign aid spending cuts identified by DOGE at USAID (another $8.3 billion). The government isn’t allowed to fund Christian programming on the grounds that it is religious, so why should it be any different for the secular religion of woke leftism? Defund the beast (X).
