As the 2025 government shutdown approaches, Sane(ish) gets real about who’s hurting, who’s winning, and why the chaos was baked in from the start. This week, Jo Carducci and political commentator Pete Dominick break down what makes this shutdown uniquely Republican: deliberate mass layoffs, Medicaid cuts that will literally endanger families, and a MAGA playbook that prizes power over people. Expect sharp debate on gaslighting, manufactured crises, and an epidemic of political dishonesty; from the refusal to accept election results to systematic censorship and the whitewashing of American history. Pete and Jo tackle what it’s like trying to stay sane(ish) when lawmakers openly admit people will die, the courts and Congress cede all control to the executive, and communities are left building support systems from scratch.
