How Bad Is The Government Shutdown Going To Get?

from Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes · host Grant Hermes

The government shutdown is a month long now, just five days behind the longest ever. But it's not the record deadline that's the big one; it's the one happening this weekend. On Nov. 1, food stamp benefits and health insurance subsidies expire for tens of millions of Americans who rely on those programs to avoid starvation or get vital care. Grant explains whether a judge in Massachusetts can stop kids from going hungry, why this shutdown is already the worst we've ever had, and if senators holding their own "shadow negotiations" while Trump's out of the country can bring this shutdown to an end. LINKS:Find your local food bank at the link below https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbankPROMO CODE:Today's episode is sponsored by Afuera Coffee. Great tasting, environmentally conscious Central and South American coffee straight from the farms.Get 15% off your next order with the exclusive code: MIMS25Afueracoffee.comSupport the showFollow along on social media SaySo: @GrantHermes X: @GrantHermesInsta: @Grant__HermesTiktok: Grant_Hermes
