CPB says it is shutting down after being defunded by Congress, targeted by Trump
“The demise of the corporation, known as CPB, is a direct result of President Donald Trump’s targeting of public media, which he has repeatedly said is spreading political and cultural views antithetical to those the United States should be espousing. The closure is expected to have a profound impact on the journalistic and cultural landscape — in particular, public radio and TV stations in small communities across the United States. CPB helps fund both PBS and NPR.”

California Laws Protecting Immigrants’ Civil Rights
“Over the last several years, California has taken significant strides to protect immigrants, passing a broad range of laws to expand and uphold the civil and labor rights of immigrants, to equalize access to higher education, and to define the role local law enforcement agencies may play in the enforcement of federal immigration law. In its brief, “California Blueprint: Two Decades of Pro-Immigrant Transformation,” the California Immigrant Policy Center highlights the broad range of state laws enacted since 1996.”

Who would win and who would lose in Republicans’ ‘big, beautiful bill’
“The tax cuts would add around $3 trillion over the next decade to the national debt, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office. That means the U.S. would have to borrow more money to cover its expenses, requiring it to pay an estimated $600 billion to $700 billion in additional interest payments, according to an analysis by the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget.”

Does Donald Trump want to legalize weed? Here’s where he stands on marijuana legislation
“Over the past few months, Trump has expressed more direct support for the decriminalization of marijuana. During a press conference at Mar-a-Largo on Aug. 8, Trump said that as more states to legalize marijuana, he’s beginning to agree ‘a lot more’ with it. ‘As we legalize it (marijuana) throughout the country, whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, it’s awfully hard to have people all over the jails that are in jail right now for something that’s legal,’ Trump said during the press conference. In his Truth Social post, Trump expanded, ‘I believe it is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’”
