#Trump Cuts to #PublicMedia Threaten #NativeAmerican Stations That Protect #Culture & #PublicHealth, Issue Alerts
July 18, 2025"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.

This is the definition of "penny wise & pound foolish".

@IanMoore3000 😂 Love that #shill word, tis not often used these days, so I must use it more...apparently it may have originated c. 1900 from #Shillaber, meaning carnival #Huckster or similar and I am a regular user of the #H word esp when requiring synonyms for the #Trump person who I am hoping is a dying species, despite numerous progeny--they too suffer from the #GOP #Republican #Defunding of #Education and staunch support of #Sycophancy. 😍
