We shouldn’t be taking away critical emergency alert services because Republicans don’t like Big Bird.

Emergency alerts break thru other channels and cell phones it’s 2025 not 1980

The WARN Act (H.R. 1076) isn’t about “taking away” emergency alerts—it’s about auditing their effectiveness. Section 2(b)(1) specifically evaluates alert mediums like social media during extreme weather, ensuring taxpayer dollars fund actionable intel, not bureaucratic bloat. Meanwhile, PBS’s $1.1B federal lifeline bankrolls DEI indoctrination masquerading as “children’s programming.” Defunding ideological pet projects doesn’t weaken emergency systems; it stops subsidizing political narratives. Real public safety means prioritizing alerts that save lives over funding Elmo’s handlers. The bill exposes redundancy, not removes critical infrastructure.

Tammy must think that Jethro and his kin still huddle around a scratchy sounding radio to get their news. It is astounding how condescending some politicians are to their constituents.

@tammybaldwin -- the far-left senator for liberal Dane & Milwaukee counties -- is the one out of touch. The problem is the government-funded far-left NPR/PBS newscasts that hammer listeners/viewers w/ Democrat promotions of DEI, transgenders, open borders, handouts for illegals

You guys are pathetic

We have phones for that. If NPR and PBS need taxpayer money to survive, then they don't need to survive. They have donors and members they can rely on.

PBS is a waste of money

You’re so retarded and dishonest it isn’t even funny. But Big Bird or something. 🥴

"A tornado is coming! Quick, switch from the news to NPR!" Said no one ever.
