This news is just so deeply sad. I was definitely one of the firmly Gen X working poor kids who absolutely benefited from PBS shows like Sesame Street and Electric Company making learning a goal, reading accessible, and curiosity cool.
“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

This makes me so sad. So many kids toys have been recalled by the CPSC for lead and other deadly hazards. Take a look at who sells most of them.
SCOTUS is allowing Trump to fire (at least for now) the three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's unconstitutional?
Amazon.

Until recently, the US S&T enterprise & higher ed systems were the envy of the world. The way it's being gutted is beyond heartbreaking.
The US innovation engine is crumbling before our eyes.
This moment in history is not just sad—it is profoundly tragic & represents an incalculable loss. So unreal.
