The back-and-forth struggle between President Donald Trump and America’s publicly funded media continues. On Tuesday, NBC News reported that Trump will send a “rescissions package” to Congress, asking to cut $9.4 billion in spending that was already approved and to codify cuts proposed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). If approved, the package would slash funding for NPR and PBS; the package specifically proposes $1.1 billion in cuts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
