Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for October 24, 2025.

Millions of working class workers are receiving alerts that their SNAP benefits will be gone in November as the Trump Regime's government shutdown continues. 

Pat Johnston explains why the MAGA Congress is more than willing to help The Regime keep the government closed: To keep the Epstein Files from being released as long as possible. 

Even if that means 1.4 million working class Michigan families will lose their food assistance. 

MAGA Republicans would rather inflict pain on the working class in order to protect Trump, and the billionaire donor class, from the Epstein Files.
