Both of Alabama's U.S. Senators---Republicans Britt and Tuberville---voted in favor of cutting funding for Public Broadcasting. Make sure you thank them.
"The Senate voted 51 to 48 to claw back about $9 billion in federal funding that lawmakers had approved for foreign aid and public broadcasting. The so-called rescissions were made at the request of the White House, which has sought to codify spending cuts put forward by Elon Musk’s cost-cutting effort, the Department of Government Efficiency."
The vast majority of funding for NPR & PBS comes from "viewers like you".
(Reliance on Federal Funding: APT receives approximately $3 million annually from the federal government, representing about 13% of its overall budget.)
