Had strong sense at least the timing of Trump's illegal shuttering of Voice of America was triggered by his annoyance at a question from a VOA journo. Source flags to me that the EO was so hastily put together they literally forgot to complete the last sentence. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-continues-the-reduction-of-the-federal-bureaucracy/

Steering him is still a game of flattering or triggering him and hoping to ping-pong him to where you want him. His handlers are better at it than last time, but they’re still playing that same game.
it’s the singular reason he can’t defeat ukraine.
imbecile was all to glad to oblige.
"Radio Free Europe streamed unflinching coverage of Russia’s war in Ukraine to Russians when the Kremlin banned its citizens from calling it a war.
Radio Free Asia bravely exposed China’s mass detention of the Uyghurs"

TRUMP: Who you work for?
REPORTER: Not Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, or any other place that goes nose-deep in your- hey! I’m just answering his question!
He is a willing puppet, of course.
It’s an evil regime, not just Trump.
Get rid if Trump and it will get even worse.
Vance is much less chaotic and much more methodical and devious.
There is a Russia angle to this, you know.
when the time is right they’re placed in front of the moron to be signed.

I guess I should feel bad, but how many people did VOA feed Limbaugh's toxic politics to?
Perhaps they find the sheer acts of documenting executive orders and actions in plain written word too bothersome?
VOA is the international propaganda arm of the US Government.
(That's why it's illegal to broadcast inside the US.)
Every dictator needs a propaganda arm.

I suppose she could be appointed Alina Habba's secretary...

I mean, nobody’s even pretending that’s not exactly what it is.
You’re right, mea culpa

Standing up for principles is fine as long as you're still standing afterwards. Standing up for principles that end up shuttering your organization is foolish.
This was predictable.
