Cantwell pushes back on Admin efforts to defund 14 Local Broadcasting Stations in WA
Senator Maria Cantwell condemned President Trump's rescission package that seeks to withdraw $1.1 billion in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, impacting over 1,500 local broadcasting stations, including 14 in Washington State. Cantwell emphasized that this move would deny millions of Americans, particularly in rural areas, access to essential news and emergency alerts.
