Trump Targets NPR and PBS With Order to Halt Federal Funding
President Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending federal funding for NPR and PBS, accusing the organizations of spreading "woke propaganda."
This move follows a pattern of Trump leveraging executive powers to defund or dismantle institutions he deems oppositional, including cultural and educational organizations like the Kennedy Center and National Endowment for the Humanities. Federal courts have previously intervened in cases where the administration withheld congressionally approved funds from media outlets, raising doubts about the legal sustainability of Trump’s latest move targeting public broadcasters.

Robert Garcia (D-CA) speaks in front of poster of Sesame Street's Big Bird during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing at the U.S. Capitol on March 26, 2025 in Washington, DC.
