Judge Blocks Trump’s Order to End Funding for NPR and PBS - The New York Times

A federal judge has ruled that President Trump's executive order targeting NPR and PBS is unconstitutional. The order, issued by the Trump administration, sought to defund or restrict the public broadcasting entities, but the court found it violated statutory protections and constitutional principles governing those organizations. The ruling blocks enforcement of the order, at least temporarily, preserving federal funding streams for the broadcasters. This represents a legal setback for the White House's effort to reshape public media. The decision is likely to face appeal, setting up a broader judicial examination of the Trump administration's authority over independent public broadcasting.
