House Passes Rescission of $1.1B Taxpayer Funding of PBS, NPR – Despite 4 GOP Defectors

Craig Bannister-Blog : Jun 13, 2025  MRCTV

The rescission bill now moves to the Senate, which may approve all—or just portions—of the rescissions listed in the package. If any items are removed, the bill would then have to be returned to the House and voted on again.

[MRCTV.org] By a 214-212 vote, the House passed Pres. Donald Trump's "rescission" request to rescind $9.4 billion of taxpayer funding —including $1.1 billion of funding of NPR and PBS, as well as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which funnels the taxpayer money to them.

Republicans have long sought to end taxpayer funding of NPR and PBS, because of the anti-conservative bias and the extreme liberal propaganda pushed by the two media organizations. Public media has also outlived its usefulness, given the plethora of sources of information and news available to Americans today, even in rural areas of the country.

All Democrats voted against the bill. They were joined by four Republicans who voted against the measure:

Rep. Mark Amodei of Nevada
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York
Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio

The rescission bill now moves to the Senate, which may approve all – or just portions—of the rescissions listed in the package. If any items are removed, the bill would then have to be returned to the House and voted on again.

Congress has until July 18, 2025 to pass the rescission bill. Otherwise, it fails and Pres. Trump will not be able to request the same rescission a second time.

"The days of forcing Americans to fund woke propaganda are over," Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) announced.

"From the moment NPR's CEO @krmaher exposed herself as a dishonest, left-wing activist, I vowed to ensure NPR never gets another cent of taxpayer funding. That day is finally here," Rep. Gill wrote in a social media post applauding his House colleagues for passing the rescission package. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

"The gravy train is up," Rep. Gill declared.
