You may be right. Bit the NPR sacred cow has finally been gored. The kill strike, a bulls’ horn right up NPR’s kazoo, will be much easier to do next time around.
Frankly, I’m optimistic that—with the next election cycle closing in—there may be enough self-serving dems in the Senate to help conservatives pass the bill there. Onada will veto it, but the defunding NPR train will be well out of the station.
OK, they should add this defunding to the next CR and see what happens.
I doubt they will.
