Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

Boasberg: Tomorrow by Noon give me the info that I previously ordered and also include a written declaration about the third flight.

Also Boasberg: “and I will memorialize all of this in written form because apparently my oral orders don’t carry much weight.”
