"You can read all 870 page here."

I let Grok do that. It kicked back a lot of details and explanations but here's its summary:

"While H.R.1 itself does not directly address NPR or PBS, the associated $1.1 billion rescission of CPB funding, passed as part of H.R. 4, poses a significant threat to their operations, particularly for local stations reliant on federal support. The cuts, championed by the Trump administration and House Republicans, aim to eliminate federal funding for NPR and PBS, citing bias, but face resistance in the Senate and legal challenges from public media advocates. The outcome depends on Senate action by mid-July 2025 and potential court rulings."

(16) $1,000,000,000 for the expansion of programs to
accelerate the procurement and fielding of innovative
technologies;
Sounds sufficiently vague to cover just about anything, I want a new boat-without bells & whistles though, $hit breaks.
