ToshenI don't listen to radio, but I occasionally read book reviews on the https://npr.org website. Today, after hearing that trump and his grumps cut off funding, I began monthly donations to support the good work they do.

Peter Link 🍉🇨🇺🇵🇸Thousands of veterans face foreclosure after Trump's VA ends key mortgage program

"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.
The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."

White House calls #NPR and #PBS a “grift,” will ask Congress to rescind funding
By Jon Brodkin, April 15, 2025
Excerpt: "In a statement provided to Ars today, PBS CEO Paula Kerger said that 'the effort underway to get Congress to rescind public media funding would disrupt the essential service PBS and local member stations provide to the American people. There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress... Without PBS member stations, Americans will lose unique local programming and emergency services in times of crisis.' "

"The decision is a disturbing and self-defeating retreat for American influence abroad. It also portends ever more troubling repression of independent journalism right here in the United States.
"To best appreciate what is at stake in a future without VOA, it is important to understand its past. "
