NPR sues Trump over blocked funding, says it may have to shutter newsrooms

Public radio stations sued President Trump and his administration over an executive order that cuts off federal funding from NPR and PBS, claiming it violates the Constitution and is part of a broader strategy to silence progressive media. The lawsuit argues that Trump lacks authority to act unilaterally on funding decisions, which are reserved for Congress under the Spending Clause. Stations like NPR and three Colorado-based organizations are joining the fight as the White House previously accused public radio of spreading "radical, woke propaganda."
