A year after Republicans eliminated $1.1 billion in funding for public broadcasting communities across the nation have less access to local news and emergency information. In WA alone, KWSU-TV closed, and Cascade PBS cut 17 employees and stopped producing local journalism.

In WA, KWSU-TV closed, & Cascade PBS cut 17 employees & stopped producing local journalism — all after Republicans eliminated $1.1B in funding for public broadcasting. One year later, communities across the nation simply have less access to local news & emergency information.

Senate Commerce Dems@commerce.senate.gov · 2w ago

One year ago, Republicans eliminated $1.1B in public media funding. After 50+ years the Corporation for Public Broadcasting closed. The damage: 500+ employees laid off, stations shuttered & rural communities losing their only source of local news & emergency alerts.

Big bipartisan win: The Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization Act unanimously passed the Commerce Committee. NOAA's Hurricane Hunter fleet is over 50 years old. This bill authorizes $2.5B for up to 9 new aircraft to keep communities safe. www.commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/re...

Hurricane Hunters don't only track hurricanes, they also collect critical data on atmospheric rivers that cause severe flooding and landslides across the Pacific Northwest. That means improved storm predictions and more accurate warnings for our communities.

Senate Commerce Dems@commerce.senate.gov · last mo.

NOAA's Hurricane Hunters collect vital data from inside dangerous storms, but much of the fleet is over 50 years old. That’s why the bipart Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization Act will modernize the aging fleet and codify the mission in federal law.

The Protect College Sports Act amends the Sports Broadcasting Act to unlock billions in new revenue for ALL schools and it stops schools from cutting women's and Olympic sports to fund football arms races. This is how we save college sports for generations to come.
