Trump is trying to defund NPR and PBS.

UPDATE: "Trump signs executive order directing federal funding cuts to PBS and NPR" Below is a note from Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Please read and sign your name by hers to protect NPR and PBS — vital public broadcasting stations. 25,000 signatures needed by midnight: Sign on now to show Trump that the American people want to protect free and accessible broadcasting >> ADD YOUR NAME ➞ I'm writing to you directly because a moment like this demands we stand together. Donald Trump is once again attempting to slash funding for essential public broadcasting stations: NPR and PBS. Let's be clear what this move is about: It's about censorship and control. Public media is not a partisan issue. It's how millions of Americans access free educational programming, emergency alerts and fact-based news. We're running out of time to stop these cuts, so please: Add your name to defend public media against Trump's censorship agenda. ADD YOUR NAME ➞ As Trump's approval rating continues to plummet, he knows the only way he can stay in power is to cut off access to fair and trustworthy reporting — in his words, the "woke media." He knows that the more the American people hear about his proposed cuts to Medicaid, his disastrous economic agenda and his attacks on our fundamental rights, the more they will fight back. A free press is critical to any democracy — whether it's a positive or a negative story. We have to take a stand. So please, I'll be checking in with my team to make sure we hit 25,000 signatures by tonight. Can you take a minute to add your name to defend public broadcasting from Trump's censorship? ADD YOUR NAME ➞ I hope you'll make your voice heard. — Kirsten Gillibrand A note from Kirsten: Friend, I am truly honored to have won reelection, and I promise to continue the critical work toward bipartisan solutions for New Yorkers as we enter this new term.
