Breaking Through: The Epstein Files, Election Results, SNAP Under Attack, National Caregivers Month
On the radio show this week we dive into the ongoing fight over the release of the Epstein files, their political implications, and the push for survivor justice. We also hear about the historic results and inspiring turnout from the recent November 2025 elections, particularly the transformative mayoral race in New York City and the importance of bold, people-centered agendas. After that, we cover the controversy and consequences of President Trump’s opposition to SNAP (food stamps), a program with long-standing bipartisan support, and discuss how food access and nutrition are being impacted at the national level. Finally, we discuss National Caregivers Month, examining the importance, challenges, and future of the care workforce in America, as well as the need for better pay, benefits, and recognition for care workers.
