executive order

Joe Donahue

As long expected, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at cutting public funding that goes to PBS and NPR. Trump complains that the outlets are biased. WAMC/Northeast Public Radio is among the hundreds of public media outlets nationwide that have been preparing for such a move.On today's Roundtable Panel Joe Donahue discusses the order and WAMC's future with WAMC's CEO Sarah Gilbert, Roundtable Producer Sarah LaDuke, former Vice President for Editorial Development at the New York Press Association Judy Patrick, and CEO of The Business Council of New York State Heather Mulligan.

Joined by New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin (far left) and Conn. AG William Tong (center-left), Mass. AG Andrea Joy Campbell detailed actions she and a coalition of attorneys general were taking against multiple executive orders issued by the Trump administration. She and others spoke Friday, Feb. 7, 2025, ahead of a hearing for a challenge to an order dealing with limiting birthright citizenship. The AGs were joined by Mirian Albert (right) of Lawyers for Civil Rights, who have filed a similar suit involving La Collaborativa and the Brazilian Worker Center - all on behalf of expectant mothers impacted by the order.
