On the radio show this week, we cover saving democracy, standing up against structural racism, and bans off our bodies; we also hear some very good news about what’s happening with Medicaid.gov coverage; then we learn the latest about the childcare cliff, paid family/medical leave, and the fight to build a care infrastructure; and we close the show learning why government shutdowns happen, what’s at stake, and how we can avoid it in the future.
