  • Episode 63- Government Shutdown 2025: From Furloughs to Firing
    2025/10/14

    For most Americans, a government shutdown means furloughs, temporary disruptions that end when funding returns. But October 2025 marks a turning point. The Trump administration’s move to issue Reductions in Force (RIFs) across key agencies like HHS, FDA, and the CDC has transformed a short-term budget standoff into a permanent restructuring of the federal workforce.

    In this episode, we break down:

    • The difference between a furlough and a RIF, and why it matters now more than ever.

    • The scale of workforce reductions and their ripple effects on public health and food safety.

    • The political and economic motivations behind using the shutdown as a tool to shrink government size.

    • Historical parallels to past administrations and what they reveal about the long-term agenda.

    Tune in to explore how this unprecedented move could reshape America’s public health infrastructure, and redefine the meaning of “non-essential.”
