In 2025, America’s largest anti-hunger program is under siege. With over 2.4 million people losing access to SNAP benefits and states suing the federal government over sweeping budget cuts, the battle over food assistance has reached a boiling point.

This episode of SNAP Shake-Up dives into the fallout of the most dramatic overhaul to food aid in decades. With rising food insecurity, food pantries are bracing for surges and long-term consequences.

This isn’t just a budget story. It’s a story about dignity, survival, and the fight to keep hunger off American tables.

Hospitals are closing. Staff are being cut. And in rural America, entire counties are left without a single emergency room. In Critical Condition, we unpack the growing crisis in U.S. healthcare—where economic strain, policy gaps, and burnout are converging to leave millions without access to basic care.

This isn’t just about medicine—it’s about survival, dignity, and the unraveling of a system that was never built to serve everyone equally.

Whether you live in a small town, work in healthcare, or just want to understand what’s happening behind the headlines, this episode will bring clarity about our new reality.

In 2025, more than 300,000 Black women have disappeared from the U.S. workforce—not because they chose to leave, but because the system failed to hold space for them. This episode of Pushed Out unpacks the quiet crisis behind the numbers: layoffs, caregiving demands, workplace bias, and the emotional toll of being undervalued and overextended.

You’ll hear about women who were forced out—some laid off, others edged out by toxic environments. We explore how AI disruption, stagnant wages, and racialized labor dynamics have collided to push Black women out of jobs they helped sustain. This isn’t a trend—it’s a warning.

Whether you’re a worker, a manager, or someone trying to understand the deeper story, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a call to action.
