Has Anyone Seen a Detailed PunchList of Major Items Funded or Defunded In Yesterday's House Version of BBB-Especially PBS/NPR?

7/4/25

[Be Careful]

There has been so much flying around and changing moment-to-moment, that I am unable to track some of the major items in the House bill that Trump will sign. I cannot find an EXTENSIVE punch list or bullet point summary, especially one that includes the status of PBS/NPR.........Has anyone seen an up-to-date source document that summarizes the important line items that was passed yesterday, beyond the few that are identified in headlines??

I know what you mean. Infuriating, isn’t it? How hard would it be for Congress to do that?

[PGR88]

You can read all 870 page here. Aren’t massive Omnibus bills great?

Is PBS unfunded??????

[alancarp]

Neither of the phrases ‘Public Broadcast’ and ‘National Public’ appear in this bill, though I don’t know that it would be that explicit either way.

No, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act does not defund PBS. It focuses on tax cuts, Medicaid/SNAP reforms, defense spending, and more. However, a separate Trump administration rescission package seeks to cut federal funding for PBS and NPR.

I thought they were in a first, separate, small recision bill?

"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."

Sheesh! Cut here, insert there, change is date... I know why Elon is not happy. Solar tax credits expire this year.

The senate and house versions are supposed to be exactly the same. They are 940 and 870 pages respectively. I have no idea what accounts for the 70 page differnce.

The senate did pass one amenedment re: AI to the version presented to them. It is not likely to account for the 70 page differnce.

There is a sumary here of the May 22, 2025 version the House sent to the Senate

(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.

Here’s one little detail:

$100 Billion for border security, of which $46.5 Billion is dedicated to more Border WALL.

“Trump’s One “Big Beautiful” tax bill just got passed, scrapping a proposed excise tax on renewable energy projects and instantly sending solar stocks soaring.”

[Newbomb Turk]

Figures. I really disapointed in the President I voted for. I'll give him some time though. He is fighting both sides and massive theft and lobbying. I really want PBS shut down.

Sounds like Planned Parenthood got 100% defunded though. WIN !

You are joking, right?

[Dogbert41]

It’s like shutting the barn door after the horses escaped. Estimates by long time Darien Gap watchers are around 30,000,000 invaders. No one knows how many came in through our open airports either.

One word: "rescissions"

(look it up)

Follow Trump's strategy.

Trump added a massive new punchlist item he said yesterday they’re already working on the legislation for: Amnesty!

Ha ha. Fooled us. The uniparty wins again!
