On October 1st in order to Make America Great Again!
No, I'm Kidding, it's due to funding.
Just imagine - a precedent gets elected and advocates lies and hate and destroys PBS while filling his wallet.
Only in America....
Congratulations!

(19,263 posts)People need to learn that any politician (or judge, where they are elected) with an R by their name is a supporter of Trump's evil, and vote accordingly. And stop the fucking purity bullshit that got us here. Work for better candidates, but then show up and vote against evil. Period. None of this "lesser of" bullshit either. There is no comparison between the imperfect (sometimes greatly imperfect or wrong-headed) policies of the anti-Trump candidate, to the EVIL of this administration and its enablers. And yes, some Ds might be called "enablers" when perceived to not be fighting hard enough - but give them a TEAM and they will at least be on the correct side. Even Manchin voted far more with Ds than Rs, and far more with Ds than any R would have done.

(1,916 posts)Here is the truth - and you need to hear it.
A poll yesterday showed the Election Rigging Response Act getting 48% of the vote. We are getting outraised, outspent, and it shows no sign of stopping. Meanwhile Trump is threatening to end mail-in voting while sending ICE agents to our events.
If this keeps up, there is a chance Republicans redistrict in Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and more ... and we lose in California - basically locking in a Republican House majority for the foreseeable future.
We're sorry to put that thought into your head, but that is the reality.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
