Trump touts 'NO BRAINER' rescissions package to cut NPR, PBS funding

President Donald Trump on Thursday touted his planned $9.4 billion rescissions package to rescind funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and, by extension, PBS and NPR.

"The House of Representatives is NOW voting on my Administration’s first “Rescissions” Bill. It will OFFICALLY “claw back” $9.4 BILLION DOLLARS in funding for wasteful Foreign Aid, used for Radical 'DEI' and the Green New SCAM, and the 'Corporation for Public Broadcasting,' which funds the highly biased NPR and PBS," he posted on Truth Social.

"For decades, Republicans have promised to cut NPR, but have never done it, until now. NPR and PBS are a Radical Left Disaster, and 1000% against the Republican Party!" he added. 

"These Rescissions, along with 'THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,' our highly successful Tariffs, Mass Deportations of Illegal Aliens, and our Strong Economy, will finally CUT the Deficit, and help balance our Budget," Trump went on. "The Rescissions Bill is a NO BRAINER, and every single Republican in Congress should vote, “YES.” MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

The vote requires a simple majority to pass.
