Story 1 (00:01:08): The Walt Disney Company has filed a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other officials, alleging "government retaliation" and violations of its protected speech. The dispute began when Disney's former CEO spoke out against a law banning discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools, and Republican lawmakers subsequently stripped Disney of its self-governing authority. Now, Disney is seeking a federal judge to declare the board's action "unlawful and unenforceable." Learn more about the ongoing feud between Disney and Governor DeSantis in this video.

Story 3 (00:19:00): New York City's public libraries may face weekend closures after the proposed 2024 fiscal budget cuts, which now amount to $52.7 million. The library systems representing the five boroughs warn that additional funding cuts would obliterate weekend hours across the city. Meanwhile, the new eight-year contract with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) will give police officers billions in salary increases and overtime pay. The labor agreement increases police wages retroactively beginning in 2017, and the top pay for officers after five-and-a-half years of service will be $131,500 per year—a $40,000 increase. Library workers and patrons worry about how people who rely on libraries as community spaces and their services might cope if services aren’t available on weekends.
