On the radio show this week we dive into the chaos in Washington, D.C., from the Big Bad Betrayal Law, the government shutdown, and the secrecy of the Epstein Files. We hear about the highly successful Rx Kids program in Michigan, which provides a financial foundation to mothers and babies, improving health outcomes, and boosting the economy. We cover Trump's impact on democracy, including the destruction of the White House, cuts to health care, and human rights abuses. We close the show discussing the negative consequences of Donald Trump defunding the Department of Education and Special Education when it comes to early childhood education, particularly for little ones with disabilities.
