House to Vote on Significant Funding Cuts Targeting NPR, PBS, and Foreign Aid
The House is preparing to vote on a controversial rescission package proposed by Trump, aimed at cutting $9.4 billion in funding, which includes significant reductions for public media outlets such as NPR and PBS, as well as foreign aid programs. This move, inspired by the DOGE cryptocurrency, has sparked a fierce debate among lawmakers, particularly within the GOP, where some express concerns over potential backlash. Protests are ongoing nationwide as public support for these broadcasting entities is called into question. The outcome of the vote is poised to have a significant impact on the future of public media funding and foreign aid, highlighting a wider discussion on government spending priorities.
