The Big Squeeze: Longest Shutdown Ever

from The Overlap

This week on The Overlap, Joshua goes solo to navigate the “hellscape” of the 2025 government shutdown. This isn’t a story about closed national parks or airport delays. It is an urgent look at a calculated, three-pronged attack on American survival: the expiration of ACA subsidies, a Supreme Court freeze on food aid, and a political narrative designed to blame the working class. Joshua dissects the “welfare queen” myth with hard data and argues that what Washington calls “fiscal responsibility” is actually just violence committed with a spreadsheet. Tune in for a raw, honest breakdown of the “Hunger Games legislative edition” and what we can do to look out for each other when the systems fail. https://fof.foundation [email protected]
