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 Janine Herbst.
President Trump travels to Kerr County,
Texas today to see the devastation caused by the deadly flash flood that swept down the Guadalupe River a week ago,
leaving at least 120 people dead and more than 170 missing.
NPR's Frank Morris has more.
President Trump will fly into Kerrville,
Texas to talk with area politicians and first responders who've been at it all week,
first trying to rescue flood victims, then just searching for bodies.
State government response to this disaster has been massive, but volunteers like Dean Brown,
a sales rep from Corpus Christi, Texas, have shouldered most of the recovery work.
I'll be here till Sunday,
but looks like I'll be tearing out sheetrock the whole time I'm here, which is fine.
I've done that before.
A little hard work never hurt anybody.
Building back will take money as well as hard work.
