Settlement calls for NPR to get $36M in government funds to operate public radio

National Public Radio (NPR) is set to receive approximately $36 million in government funding as part of a court settlement. This funding is designated for the operation of the nation's public radio interconnection system, which is essential for maintaining the infrastructure that supports public broadcasting stations across the United States. The settlement comes from the federal government's steward of funding for public broadcasting.

A Tennessee judge has blocked former President Trump's use of the National Guard in Memphis, but has put the order on hold to allow the government time to appeal. This decision comes amid ongoing debates about the appropriateness of deploying the National Guard for political purposes. The ruling reflects the judiciary's role in overseeing executive actions and ensuring they align with legal standards.
