Congress passed the 2025 Rescission Bill last Friday. And that was on the final day allowed under the special rules for a rescission bill. What isn’t as well publicized is that President Trump has not yet signed the bill into law

“All government funding for PBS and NPR, including their local affiliates, has been eliminated by recent Congressional votes. Trump has not yet signed the rescissions package into law, but it has been sent to his desk for signature after final passage by Congress. This will lead to a significant reduction in local programming; however, it is believed that national programming will survive due to other revenue streams.”
Now I find this very annoying. I’ve been waiting on this sign-off for the better part of four days. Maybe Trump plans a special signing ceremony and some kind of celebratory gesture; possibly slaughtering an ostrich made up to look like Big Bird and then roasting it on a spit over a coal fired stove.
Well, let’s hope this delay is over soon.
