The BBC is reporting that the next few days in Gaza are "make or break," according to the UN, as Israel's military pauses its ongoing attacks following a global outcry about the toll on Gaza's civilian population.

Last week, the Congress voted to end the funding for the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, long a goal of America's radical right wing. Created  in 1967, the Corporation of Public Broadcasting was  founded as a publicly funded non-profit to guarantee high quality, universal access to arts, educational and public affair programming to 1,400 locally-owned and operated public radio and TV stations. For years, for fear of being blamed for killing off “Big Bird” and the beloved Sesame Street, forced enough Republicans to vote with Democrats to keep CPB. President Trump’s re-election radically altered that political calculus, however, and so last week the axe finally came down on CPB.
