    1 big thing: 🧊 Dems’ coming ICE war

    The “defund ICE” banner that progressives brandished during President Trump’s first term is now starting to take hold among the more moderate wings of the Democratic Party.

    Why it matters: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has long signaled that resurrecting Affordable Care Act tax credits has priority in the government funding fight. But some of his members are clearly spoiling for a fight over ICE.

    • “We need funding reductions. … Policy is not enough,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), who stressed that “‘defund’ and ‘abolish’ are two different things.”
    • Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.), a leading member of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, said he is “totally open” to trying to reduce ICE’s funding.

    Zoom in: Jeffries finally waded into the ICE funding debate during his regular press conference today.

    • “They’re running around out of control, with masks, no body cameras, no accountability, no warrants, arresting and in some cases deporting American citizens,” Jeffries told reporters.
    • “It’s important to understand that a lot of the funding for ICE that is currently being unleashed on the American people … was provided not through the traditional appropriations process, but in connection with the one big, ugly bill,” he said.
    • Rep. John Mannion (D-N.Y.), a swing-district centrist, noted the “big, beautiful bill” that became law nearly tripled ICE’s funding: “I would support reducing that funding back to fiscal year 2024 levels if I could.”

    The other side: Some centrist Democrats — while signaling they would support policy changes — drew a clear line in the sand against defunding ICE.

    • “I don’t know if we need to defund ICE,” said Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. (D-Texas), who said the agency has been “overly funded” but that “we don’t have the votes for that anyway.”

  13. I've been collecting stories about how #CPBFundingCuts will affect specific stations. I'll be posting those shortly, but this seemed to be a good place to start...

    #CorporationForPublicBroadcasting, funder of #NPR and #PBS, says it will end operations within months after federal budget cuts

    By Kerry Breen
    Updated on: August 1, 2025

    Excerpt: "Maher warned that #defunding #PublicRadio poses 'a real risk to the #PublicSafety of the country.' She said some NPR stations receive 'more than 50% of their budget' from federal funding and may face layoffs and station closures.

    "#Rural areas would feel the largest impacts, Maher said. Local stations also provide vital alerts in #emergencies like #storms, #floods and #wildfires."

    "We speak to Loris Taylor, president of #NativePublicMedia, about the Trump administration’s drastic #defunding of public media and its impact on tribal nations. Fifty-nine #TribalRadioStations and one tribal #TelevisionStation that depend on federal funding will be among the first to face possible closure, putting some of the essential services that #PublicBroadcasting provides, including warning systems for missing #IndigenousWomen and girls, at risk.

    "Taylor shares how Native-led public media helps preserve #IndigenousLanguages and helped keep communities informed during the peak of the COVID-19 #pandemic. She fears that without these same resources and 'with the #ClimateCrisis increasing, [we] are going to be operating on the margins of information and are not going to have real lifesaving information available to our citizens when they need it most.'
