Send us a textThe Corporation for Public Broadcasting's funding has been cut by the Trump administration. This, of course, was laid out in Project 2025 by Russel Vought, one of its key architects. He's now the head of Trump's Office of Management and Budget. His office made the decision to retract already-allocated funds that were earmarked for CPB, which is why they're shutting down at the end of this year.Y'all remember when Trump said he knew nothing about Project 2025? Yeah, me too. Give to your local PBS & NPR stations. PBS Donations: https://donate.pbssocal.org/site/Donation2?df_id=13073&mfc_pref=T&13073.donation=form1NPR Donations: https://www.npr.org/donations/supportSupport the showStay up to date with all things Dara Starr Tucker here:Dara Starr Tucker LinkTreeDara Starr Tucker TikTokDara Starr Tucker InstagramDara Starr Tucker YouTubeDara Starr Tucker Facebook
