Congressional Republicans just approved $643 million in funding for the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), an organization Donald Trump has actively tried to destroy, which works on radio, television, internet, and broadcasting, primarily focused on the Middle East.
This massive funding, which passed both chambers of Congress this week, was included as part of the must-pass National Security, Department of State and Related Programs Act (NSRP). Ultimately, the GOP chose legislative unity and avoiding a government shutdown over adhering to the president’s long-standing opposition to the agency.
