On the radio show this week we dive into the confusion, harm, and chaos caused by Donald Trump's ridiculous Executive Orders and nominees, from a funding freeze that shut down Medicaid portals in all 50 states to the nomination of an unqualified, unfit, and utterly confused cabinet nominee in RFK Jr. We also learn about how the funding freeze has a situational impact on the already unstable child care sector, and how our advocacy helped reverse course – for now.  After that, we cover parenting through this chaos and how to advocate for your child and yourself. Finally, we discuss the impact of Trump's executive orders and funding threats on the criminal justice system and racial justice programs, and where we can push back.
