Of course. You can't claim climate change is a hoax if you're burdened by trivial stuff like "facts".

> It cost $48 million annually to operate the network. The Trump administration repeatedly tried to shutter it, proposing to cut its funding by 80 percent in both 2025 and again in 2026. Congress pushed back, restoring the money. Congress made the allocation then isn't he obligated to spend it? I know it hasn't stopped him before but I'm hoping we get a separation of powers lawsuit.
