The New York Times:
Corporation for Public Broadcasting Will Shut Down

This is unacceptable, John.

Washington Republicans have succeeded in essentially killing public media as we know it in America. This is what happens in authoritarian regimes. It should give us all pause.

After cutting all funding for public media from the federal budget, the GOP is one step closer to their long-held goal of ending access to public media. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting — which distributes federal funds to PBS and NPR — is shutting down.

John, if you’re angry, too, please add your name to our petition demanding the federal government restore public media funding >>> [[link removed]]

Americans across the country rely on PBS and NPR for reliable, factual, and free information — especially folks in rural areas, where a local NPR station might be the sole provider of community news.

Republicans would rather you not have that information.

But John, it’s not only the news that will get cut. From educational programs for children to shows highlighting what’s happening in our communities, all the programming that PBS and NPR provide is on the line now.

It may seem like a trivial matter in the face of so many other concerns, but the effects are real and will be felt by families across the country. PBS Kids shows help teach math and literacy skills alongside social-emotional development. They have a tangible impact on the youngest learners.

Public media is a public good, and we have to save it.

Please — join us and speak up for public media. Add your name to our petition here. [[link removed]]

Team Cooper



Democrat Roy Cooper is running for U.S. Senate to help take back the Majority for Democrats. North Carolina is Democrats’ best chance to flip a seat from red to blue — the path to stopping Republicans in Washington starts here.

National Republicans will target North Carolina as a key battleground and invest heavily in defeating us.

Cooper is a former state legislator, Attorney General, and most recently Governor of North Carolina. North Carolina will be the most competitive Senate election of 2026, and Cooper enters the race as the most formidable candidate of either party.

Cooper’s signature achievements include helping to expand Medicaid and helping make NC the top state for business by creating thousands of jobs and growing the clean energy economy.

Donate today to help win this seat and flip the Senate blue. [[link removed]]
