No Insurance and No Money: What Can Be Done? 

Millions of people could lose their Medicaid coverage or ACA plans in the coming years due to deep Medicaid cuts and sharp increases in ACA plan costs approved by Republicans in Congress and signed by Trump. What options are available to access health care if coverage is lost? Health policy analysts explain the alternatives.

DHS: Two Weeks Shutdown. Talks to end the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) remain stalled. Democrats say they have not received a Republican counteroffer, and in his State of the Union address, Trump sharply attacked Democrats. After federal agents in Minneapolis killed two U.S. citizens, Democrats oppose funding DHS until changes to immigration enforcement tactics are agreed upon. As negotiations collapse, can Democrats hold their line? Civil rights leader Dolores Huerta and Rep. Ro Khanna share their perspectives.

Project 2025: Moving Forward Quietly. Although Donald Trump denied ties to the ultraconservative plan known as Project 2025, analysis by organizations, unions, and experts shows that by the end of his first year in office, his administration had already implemented nearly half of its goals. Drafted by a prominent conservative think tank, the plan seeks to steer federal policy sharply to the right. How deep is this transformation of the state? How does it affect the protection of women’s civil rights and gender justice? This conversation marks the start of Women’s History Month.
