> Leaders of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private agency that has steered federal funding to PBS, NPR and hundreds of public television and radio stations across the country, voted Monday to dissolve the organization that was created in 1967. > > CPB had been winding down since Congress acted last summer to defund its operations at the encouragement of President Donald Trump. Its board of directors chose Monday to shutter CPB completely instead of keeping it in existence as a shell. > > “CPB’s final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic values by dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks,” said Patricia Harrison, the organization’s president and CEO. > > Ruby Calvert, head of CPB’s board of directors, said the federal defunding of public media has been devastating. > > CPB said it was financially supporting the American Archive of Public Broadcasting in its effort to preserve historic content, and is working with the University of Maryland to maintain its own records.

> This past week, Republicans dialed up the anti-abortion pressure campaign on the Trump Food and Drug Administration when virtually every Republican senator signed a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asking the FDA to impose new restrictions on mifepristone, a drug currently used in the majority of abortions nationwide. > The senators ask the FDA to suspend further generic approvals, prohibit telehealth access to mifepristone, and immediately stop mifepristone distribution altogether by declaring the drug to be an “imminent hazard” under federal law. > The Trump administration has undertaken a study of mifepristone, which abortion opponents believe will lead to the restoration of pre-2016 restrictions that disallowed telehealth.

> The Supreme Court seemed ready on Tuesday to side with an Evangelical Christian therapist who objects to a Colorado law that she maintains violates her free speech rights. > After reading excerpts of the law out loud, conservative Justice Samuel Alito chimed in that the Colorado law “looks like blatant viewpoint discrimination.” > “Let’s just assume that we’re in normal free-speech land rather than in this kind of doctor land. And if a doctor says I know you identify as gay, and I’m going to help you accept that, and another doctor says I know you identify as gay, and I’m going to help you change that, and one of those is permissible and the other is not, that seems like viewpoint discrimination.”
