"Cookie Monster's Shrinkflation Complaint Draws White House Attention"
Sesame Street's Cookie Monster hid Sen. Bob Casey's reply seeking a campaign donation after the senator responded to the Muppet's post about "shrinkflation." Casey also reached out to other Sesame Street characters in an attempt to raise awareness about corporate accountability. The move was seen as an effort to gain attention similar to President Biden's interaction with Elmo in January. Casey, who is up for reelection, is likely to face Republican candidate Dave McCormick in what may be a closely watched Senate race in November.
