RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. The hit Netflix series "Squid Game" has already given people great ideas for Halloween costumes - the numbered tracksuits, the black masks with geometric shapes on them. Online retailers are getting slammed with requests, but even if you pay for expedited shipping, some shops still may not be able to guarantee a delivery by Halloween. So if you're wanting to place that order, maybe consider this a red light. It's MORNING EDITION.

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.
