The Trump administration has drafted a memo to Congress outlining its intent to end nearly all federal funding for public media, which includes NPR and PBS, according to a White House official who spoke to NPR.

The memo, which the administration plans to send to Congress when it reconvenes from recess on April 28, will open a 45-day window in which the House and Senate can either approve the rescission or allow the money to be restored.

The official, who spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity, confirmed the existence of the draft.

    The warm feeling of helping billionaires in need of a new yacht?

    Not enough? Fine, here is another great benefit: The money will also go to fund and expend the new US gestapo ICE. Soon, ICE won’t just go after ‘Mexican looking’ people, but also anyone critical of Trump, so they really need more people.
