Headlines: Federal Funding, Trump Staff Moves, Medicaid Coverage and More

On this week’s episode, we review some of the recent action out of Washington, including what’s going on with federal funds, the impact of Trump’s executive orders on some youth with lived experience, and who is temporarily leading child welfare and youth justice policy. 

We also break down the findings from a report on health care for youth who have aged out of foster care, and a new bill that would fund post-adoption support.
