Michigan 6th District Congresswoman Debbie Dingell says the rescission bill passed last week will have serious ramifications beyond public broadcasting. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert reports.

The Rescissions Act of 2025 has passed the U.S. House and Senate and now awaits President Trump's signature. This will claw back about $1.1 billion in already dedicated funds from public media. Morning Edition local host David Fair discusses potential consequences and the path forward with WEMU General Manager Molly Motherwell.

The U.S. Senate is likely to hold an initial procedural vote Tuesday on the Rescissions Act of 2025. This is the measure that could claw back money already committed to public media for this fiscal year and next. Morning Edition host David Fair was joined by WEMU General Manager Molly Motherwell to discuss the process and potential impacts on Public media and WEMU.
