Quiver AI Summary
Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) announced his intention to oppose proposed funding cuts to public broadcasting by the Trump administration, specifically targeting the $1.1 billion reduction for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Gallego expressed concern that such cuts would harm rural and Tribal stations reliant on CPB funding.
