‼️🚨Corporation for #PublicBroadcasting to shut down after being defunded by #Congress, targeted by #Trump

The #CPB, a cornerstone of American culture for 3 generations, announced Friday it would take steps toward its own #closure after being #defunded by Congress—marking the end of a nearly 6-decade era in which it fueled the production of renowned #educational programming, #cultural #content & even #emergency alerts.

AP News · Corporation for Public Broadcasting to close after Congress defunds itThe Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been a cornerstone of American culture for three generations. Now it says it will begin taking steps toward its own closure after being defunded by the U.S. Senate. That marks the end of a nearly six-decade era in which it fueled the production of renowned educational programming, cultural content and even emergency alerts. The demise of the corporation, known as CPB, is a direct result of President Donald Trump’s targeting of public media, which he has repeatedly said is spreading political and cultural views antithetical to those the United States should be espousing. The closure is expected to have a profound impact on the journalistic and cultural landscape.

I’m watching this live hearing RE #DOGE and #SS.

How did EVERYONE forget that trump DEFUNDED social security and #medicare at the end of 2020.

I feel gaslit, no one else talks about this but me. How am I the only person who remembers this??

You guys, towards the end of 2020 he waived the payroll taxes that fund these programs. He claimed it was to help people keep more of their money since everyone was suffering because of Covid.

He promised that if he was reelected for 2020 these payroll tax cuts would become permanent. These are payroll taxes that fund these programs.

My boss continued to do the withholdings, maybe yours did too. Then when he didn’t win, Biden waived any unpaid payroll taxes so nobody would have to pay a lump sum in January to catch up for the stuff that was unpaid.

You can Google it. I know this happened so I won’t go look for a source because I’ve been screaming about this for years yet nobody remembers this but me?

FYI this wasn’t a gift for the people. In case you don’t know how payroll taxes work, for every withholding that comes out of your paycheck your employer has to match that amount and send it to the government with what they withheld on a quarterly basis.

If I remember correctly that’s for 940 or 941, Unless those are California state tax forms.

Regardless, how can these people sit up there and claim that the president doesn’t plan to do anything bad to these programs when he literally #DEFUNDED them in 2020??

This is the vision that #Project2025 lays out.

It proposes a dramatically #defunded NOAA whose husk is nonetheless hyper-responsive to the administration’s politics.

And commercializing the agency’s underlying data risks creating a system of tiered services.

One could imagine a future where
👉private outfits charge subscriptions for their weather reports,
and
👉only some municipalities are able to pay for the best forecasts.

👉Private companies are also subject to commercial conflicts of interest;

❓do we want flood-risk predictions sponsored by a flood-insurance company,
or
❓heat advisories from an air-conditioning conglomerate?
