Republicans and DOGE are attacking public broadcasting, claiming it's "wasteful" and promotes an "agenda."
But spending on public broadcasting is just 0.01% of the federal budget — and funding has bipartisan support.
This is part of Trump's bigger war on an educated public.

DOGE has attacked life-saving programs, including:
-Malaria & HIV/AIDS prevention
-NOAA forecasting & FEMA disaster response
-USDA food safety
-FAA aviation safety
-FDA flu vaccine research
This will result in needless suffering — all to pave the way for billionaire tax cuts.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
New ride coming soon.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The firings at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are “going to affect safety of flight, safety of shipping, safety of everyday Americans,” Admiral Tim Gallaudet, who was acting NOAA chief during the first Trump term, told the AP. “Lives are at risk for sure.”
