- Corporation for Public Broadcasting defunded, eliminating severe weather alert system — The Trump administration defunded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with $1.1 billion in cuts, claiming to target "bias" at NPR and PBS. The cuts mean that CPB can no longer provide public broadcasting stations with severe weather alerts. CPB had administered the Next Generation Warning System in partnership with FEMA to issue alerts and information over radio and television stations, many in rural America, which can continue to operate when other systems fail.
