Tonko criticizes Republicans for cutting funding to NPR, PBS, and foreign aid in Trump's rescission package.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Paul D. Tonko has criticized the recent House vote on President Trump's rescissions package, which seeks to cut $9 billion in funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid already approved by Congress. Tonko stated, "Instead of addressing the rising cost of living... Trump is using his power to go after Elmo and Big Bird."
He emphasized the importance of public broadcasting for democracy and stated that these funding cuts would hinder local stations and their journalism. "The cuts directly threaten those stations, their communities, and the trusted local journalism," he added.
Tonko asserted that the decision not only undermines essential services but also reflects a disregard for bipartisan agreements in Congress. "I won’t stop working to defend and uphold these programs that serve my constituents," he concluded.
