President’s Update: Federal funding for public media eliminated A message from OPB President and CEO Rachel Smolkin

On July 18, Congress passed a bill that cuts two years of previously approved federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

In this challenging moment, OPB will not back down. Read the full message from OPB President and CEO Rachel Smolkin:

Veterans getting fired, social security is at risk, and Elon is telling you what you don’t need in govt, all while he just got a $6billion space x contract today!

He makes money on you!

If you haven’t seen this, you need to!

Trump is short-selling America—deliberately tanking the economy so that businesses and entire industries bend the knee and beg him to save them.

Thanks, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, for sounding the alarm.
Now, what is Congress going to do about it?

MAGA Republicans are fast-tracking the SAVE Act, requiring a passport or birth certificate with a DL or State ID to register. Names on documents must match exactly.

It will block millions of married women who changed their names—and marriage certificates won’t count.

Elon Musk inking multibillion-dollar Pentagon deal amid DOGE cuts Musk's SpaceX will reportedly help the U.S. Space Force send sensitive satellites into space.

While public services get slashed, Elon Musk’s SpaceX quietly scored a $5.92 billion Pentagon contract, the largest among firms launching Space Force satellites, all funded by taxpayers. Once again, the public foots the bill while billionaires cash in and call it innovation.

Absolutely disgusting!

I have been concerned about the lack of the news coverage on that too! When I bring it up in conversations, I am met with complete shock, because it is the first time they have heard it.

Thank you for continuing to show up and stand up!

Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥

“If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

SkyTruth: Exposing a dark reality spilling into our seas Slicks, pipeline leaks, discharges, spills - chronic oil comes from many sources. We spoke to John Amos, CEO of SkyTruth, on using tech to expose the truth.

'Their decision came down to cost. Fixing the leak wasn’t financially justified since they weren’t losing enough oil to make it worthwhile.'

AOC Perfectly Shames Republicans Who Won't Hold Town Halls After Her Town Hall Video Goes Viral Preach, AOC!

Preach, AOC 👏👏👏

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

I know this is brutal to look at, my friends, but we all need to face reality and bear witness to what happens when greedy billionaires cut off aid to the world's poorest children.

How callous do you have to be to let children suffer and die to line the pockets of the wealthy and well-connected?
