Judge Moss rules that Trump’s executive order barring federal funding of NPR and PBS violated the First Amendment. But Congress has separately voted to claw back funding so the ruling may have little immediate impact. @BenMullin nytimes.com/2026/03/31/bus…

In Washington, Judge Leon orders construction be halted on Trump’s White House ballroom, to be built in place of the demolished East Wing, saying work must come to a stop until the project receives a go-ahead from Congress. @ZJMontague nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/…

" For decades, VOA has represented America's commitment to freedom of the press to audiences who are denied this right in their own countries. Allowing that legacy to be compromised from within serves no one — least of all the United States."
savevoa@savevoanow

Today (3/23) a group of VOA journalists Barry Newhouse, Ayesha Tanzeem, Dong Hyuk Lee and Ksenia Turkova filed a new lawsuit against the administration to protect VOA’s editorial independence and restore our credibility. Read their statement here. #SaveVOA

National Press Club@PressClubDC·
From Edward R. Murrow’s broadcasts to today, CBS News Radio has been part of the foundation of American journalism. Murrow’s mic sits on display at the National Press Club as a reminder of that legacy. When an institution like that disappears, it’s a loss for the public & for journalism.
