Voice of America has operated for 83 years under approval of Congress and 15 presidents. But one day King Donald decides he doesn’t like it, so – poof – hundreds of VOA journalists and other employees are put on leave and the agency’s mission is effectively eliminated. … Wikipedia is already listing VOA as “dissolved.” … 

Oh, well. Just another constitutionally questionable move that Republicans are refusing to acknowledge. … See my Humpty Dumpty downsizing post from the other day. This same scenario is going to keep repeating itself until Congress says stop.

Update — 3.19.25 — From the Globe’s Jeff Jacoby: “Dictators rejoice as Voice of America and Radio Free Europe are silenced.”
