Ro Khanna's bipartisan initiative calls for full transparency regarding Jeffrey Epstein's criminal charges, gaining support across party lines. The bill has garnered the backing of nine Republicans and all House Democrats. Khanna highlights significant funding cuts to public media from the Trump administration, impacting 1,500 NPR and PBS stations due to a $1.1 billion rescission. Emphasizing the negative consequences for education and democracy, Khanna argues that these cuts fail to reflect true fiscal responsibility, especially following Republican support for Trump's budget that increases deficits.
Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna's bipartisan bill calls for the full release of federal documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's criminal charges, supported by nine Republicans and every House Democrat.
Khanna notes that the Trump administration stripped $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, impacting over 1,500 NPR and PBS stations across the country.
The cut to public media is characterized as a devastating blow to the education of American children, and not indicative of fiscal responsibility as claimed by the administration.
Trump's Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought indicated intentions to expand the use of rescission for federal funding in future legislative sessions.
