The Trump administration isn’t worried about Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. But for the rest of us, it’s a big deal.

The downgrade could make it more expensive to get a mortgage, car loan, or use your credit card, since the government might have to pay more to borrow money — and those costs can trickle down to everyone else.

In a rare show of bipartisan unity, President Trump has signed the Take It Down Act — a sweeping law making it a federal crime to share nonconsensual intimate images, including AI-generated deepfakes, without the subject’s permission.

The law requires platforms to remove such content within 48 hours of a victim’s request, aiming to curb online sexual exploitation. While anti-harassment advocates call it a victory, digital rights groups warn the law could threaten free expression and privacy through overbroad censorship.

While Sesame Street’s move to Netflix is a major win for the iconic show, this solution is unique — it doesn’t address the broader crisis facing public broadcasting.

Many other PBS programs are still at risk of going off the air, following the Trump administration’s executive order to cut federal funding. This has already led to the loss of crucial grants like Ready to Learn. Without similar lifelines, countless educational children’s shows and resources that rely on public funding could face interruptions, delays, or cancellation — leaving families who depend on free, high-quality programming without vital support.
