Actually, I think NPR gets money from Amazon because they pay NPR for ad free versions of their shows for Prime subscribers, and Amazon just chooses to advertise that on their own
Of course, the fact that NPR is being paid by Amazon and Amazon customers get a premium version of public media is a total fucking disgrace, but NPR rightly or wrongly felt they had to do this because they've been expecting the federal government to try to cut them for years and they needed new revenue streams
It's retroactive:
The House of Representatives narrowly approved legislation Thursday to claw back two years of federal funding for public media outlets.
House votes on "takesies-backsies" cause Dear Leader told them to find him more ICE money.
I think even Thomas will see this as unconstitutional.
You've obviously not been paying close attention to Clearance Sale Thomas' antics/record.
🤷♂️ 🤦♀️
That's, the point? I'm saying that it's so unconstitutional that even Thomas may see it as such.
Lol
Now the House has become the new DOGE
Ghouls.
