In this edition, we're taking a step back from the fast news cycle to closely examine the outcomes of the 2025 midterm elections. Joining us is Lisa Loving, an award-winning journalist and media activist based in California, who will help us break down why Proposition 50 succeeded. We also address some controversial questions—such as why Black Americans did not take part in the October 18 No King marches—and the answers may surprise you. Finally, we conclude with "I, Too, Sing America," highlighting the countless ways communities supported their neighbors on SNAP during the 43-day government shutdown that delayed their November 2025 benefits under the Trump administration.
