We recap the week’s biggest stories through one lens: people pay when systems wobble and leaders dodge accountability. From shutdown fallout and sanctions to climate shocks, media gaps, and AI bias, we connect policies to real lives and ask who gets protected and who gets forgotten.
• shutdown risks to SNAP and essential services
• accountability for stalled benefits and broken promises
• sanctions on Russia and migration policy trade-offs
• climate disasters exposing fragile infrastructure
• cultural and heritage shifts shaping public memory
• reported MS-13 swap raising rule-of-law questions
• Texas emergency radio failure and shared responsibility
• Project 2025 impacts on Black communities
• newsroom underrepresentation and missing coverage
• AI bias in Black archives and preservation choices
