The House of Representatives has approved a White House request to claw back two years of previously approved funding for public media.
The rescissions package now moves on to the Senate.
This move poses a serious threat to local stations and public media as we know it.
Please take a stand for public media today at GoACPR.org.
Thank you.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.
The Pentagon is to hold a briefing in a couple of hours on the U.S. airstrikes against three nuclear sites in Iran.
During an address to the nation last night,
President Trump said the strikes were a spectacular success.
But NPR's Tom Bowman reports there are questions.
We're not sure who was notified in Capitol Hill and also in the Pentagon.
The president tweeted at 7.53.
And also one of the services, their operations center, also was notified around that same time.
So a big question is, you know, was the military notified outside of,
you know, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs?
A few Republicans are joining Democrats and saying the strikes were unconstitutional.
And a spokesman for Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says Schumer received only a perfunctory notification.
Independence Senator Bernie Sanders was quick to respond to the U.S. military strikes in Iran.
Ben Abrams of Public Radio Tulsa reports on Sanders' appearance last night in front of more than 5,000 people in Oklahoma.
Sanders made a stop in Tulsa for his fight oligarchy tour.
