RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Lots of Americans have been traveling through stormy weather to be with family this Thanksgiving, and maybe a few have had to push a stuck car. In Arctic Russia this week, airline passengers got out and pushed a stuck plane. An amateur video captured the bundled passengers giving it their all in minus-60 degrees, though a tractor is also visible likely doing the real work. And the airport director sniffed, they just wanted a selfie. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
