Episode description
Jessica and Scott dive into the chaos at the Social Security Administration after its chief threatened to shut it down—only to backtrack when a federal judge shut him down. They break down the latest threats to Social Security, Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education, and what cuts to special education and civil rights protections could mean for students. Plus, the 2024 election autopsy is in. Why did key voter groups swing toward Trump? And what do Democrats need to do to win them back?
