HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio.

Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

Individual donors and partners can have a major impact. Join Sesame Workshop’s Mission to Help Kids Everywhere Grow Smarter, Stronger, and Kinder.

The ACLU on upholding the TikTok sell-or-ban law: “This ruling sets a flawed and dangerous precedent, one that gives the government far too much power to silence Americans’ speech online.” Banning TikTok is also a Project 2025 initiative. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Federal judges uphold law that could ban TikTok, say platform could be unavailable in U.S.

The D.C. Circuit voted to uphold the ban, citing national security threats and the collection of data from TikTok users.
