Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.
On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million).
On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say:
Here, we have no kings.

It's clear that Trump's late-night exec order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to end federal funding for NPR and PBS is going to be challenged in court. NPR calls it "an affront to the First Amendment." PBS says it is "blatantly unlawful."

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
