His re-ascension to the post came with some controversy.

Sen. Alex Padilla of California and three other Democrats are reminding the Smithsonian's secretary that the institution "is the responsibility of Congress."

Before joining the Justice Department this year, attorney Jonathan Gross said Jan. 6 prosecutors were "evil people. They will put you on a cattle car to Auschwitz without batting an eye."

Congress has eliminated federal funding for public media. It is heartbreaking that after decades of outstanding public service by more than 1,000 public media stations in all corners of the United States, the federal investment in American communities has disappeared.

Federal funding represented $4.3 million of KPBS’ annual budget. We are fortunate to be in a strong financial position that will allow us to keep serving San Diego, but the long-term loss of funding will negatively impact us and influence the plans we have for the future.

As your local public media station, KPBS is an essential, front-line, public service accountable to you. Our goal is to empower San Diegans to make informed decisions to build, celebrate and grow as individuals, families and communities. We do this by providing trusted, balanced and insightful news, and educational and entertaining stories and events that reflect the voices and aspirations unique to our region. To do this, we need the support of our community more than ever. We will make it through this challenge because of you.

We are defunded not defeated.

Director: Amy J. Berg Run Time: 106 min. Release Year: 2025 Starring: Jeff Buckley Synopsis: Rising musician Jeff Buckley had only released one album when he died suddenly in 1997. Now, never-before-seen footage, exclusive voice messages, and accounts from those closest to him offer a portrait of the captivating singer. Almost 30 years after his death, the cult of Jeff Buckley continues to grow. He has an extremely devoted fan base. We are limiting any early screenings of this film so that we can ensure the die-hards come out to the theater opening weekend. And they will – I have to say, I’m frankly amazed at the enthusiasm of Buckley’s fans: 7m monthly listeners on Spotify, an active Reddit community, legions of younger fans finding his music on TikTok.
