The Trump regime is “… now undertaking—a deliberate destruction of education, science, and history …”

And #Trump has called on #Congress to eliminate ALL CURRENT & FUTURE #funding for #PublicMedia & the Corporation for Public Broadcasting [#CPB], though he has not sent a formal request for the current funding to be clawed back.
Earlier this spring, the #Republican-led Congress passed a stop-gap budget measure that fully funds CPB through the end of September 2027.

#NPR manages & operates the terrestrial distribution system allowing member stations & community broadcasters to deliver & download content for broadcast. Additionally, the network & its member stations rely on #CPB to help acquire rights to broadcast #music for use on its shows.
The #ExecutiveOrder is just one front in the #Trump admin's attack on #PublicMedia—& itself a part of a larger assault on the #news media writ large.

#Trump specified in his EO that recipients of federal funds from #CPB could not, under his decree, send money to #PBS & #NPR. NPR typically receives about 1% of its annual revenues from the CPB & another several percent indirectly from stations. On average, CPB provides each #PublicRadio station 8-10% of their revenues each year.

…Harrison noted the #statute #Congress passed to create #CPB "expressly forbade 'any department, agency, officer, or employee of the US to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] or any of its grantees or contractors."
Harrison & CPB have…ignored #Trump's orders—retaining, for now, its board, as the case works through the federal courts—taking no actions to withhold money from #NPR & #PBS or its hundreds of stations…
When #Trump said he was ordering the Corporation for Public Broadcasting not to fund #NPR or #PBS any longer, the corporation's chief exec said he had no ability to do so.
"#CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President's authority," CPB chief Patricia Harrison, a fmr #Republican National Cmte co-chair, said. "#Congress directly authorized & funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly #independent of the #FederalGovernment."
NPR and three Colorado public radio stations filed suit Tuesday morning in federal court against the Trump White House over the president's executive order purportedly barring the use of Congressionally appropriated funds for NPR and PBS.

Mensen met een besteedbaar inkomen van 21.000 tot 70.000 euro per jaar, gaven in 2023 een kleiner deel van hun inkomen uit aan vaste en noodzakelijke lasten dan in 2019. Dat meldt het Centraal Planbureau (CPB). De daling komt doordat de inkomens van de groep mensen met middeninkomens harder zijn...
Sec 70302 of the #Republicans Big Beautiful Bill (#HR1) would strip the Judiciary of its power and make it illegal to hold members of the Executive branch ( #DHS, #CPB, #ICE, et al) in contempt for failing to follow court orders.

I found this to be a pretty compelling argument (snatched of Reddit's theydidthemath subreddit before the mods deleted it):
Dat kan natuurlijk niet #RefDag dinsdag. Als 1/3 #studieschuld > EUR 47k heeft, dan ligt gemiddelde op minstens 15.000. En t lijkt me onwaarschijnlijk dat #CPB statistieken bijhoudt. Dat is meer iets voor CBS en DUO.
Nearly 200 officials from public radio stations across the country are descending on Capitol Hill to seek to convince lawmakers to maintain funding for public broadcasting despite President Trump's campaign against it.
