Trump’s Bold Moves: Federal Workforce Shake-Up and Public Broadcasting Cuts
In today's episode, we delve into President Trump's reinstatement of 'Schedule F,' a controversial policy affecting federal employment, and his executive order to cut funding for PBS and NPR. We explore the implications of these decisions, including potential impacts on government neutrality and public broadcasting. Additionally, we discuss the proposed 25% budget cut to NOAA, raising concerns about the future of weather forecasting and climate research. Join us for an in-depth analysis of these significant policy shifts and their potential consequences.
