Tiffany Dena Loftin, executive director of the US Student Association, joins Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne for week two of "What's at Stake" to break down how the administration is targeting higher education. She explains the new federal loan caps and the end of Grad PLUS loans, the "return on investment" push that's squeezing programs like ethnic studies, and a proposed Treasury rule that could strip tax-deductible donations from schools tied to DEI. She also makes the case that the attack is anti-Black, and lays out how students can organize and vote before November 3rd. Before the interview, Tamika and Mysonne get into the backlash over their AI video, an E-ZPass fight update, and the Nicki Minaj and Trump conversation.

Tamika and Mysonne are live on the ground in Florida with Angie Nixon, the Senate candidate they’re backing against Ashley Moody. Nixon lays out what she says is at stake: Medicaid cuts, rent and housing costs, childcare, wages, and Social Security. Her rally speech goes beyond voting to organizing, holding elected officials accountable, and giving your time, talent, and treasure. Tamika takes the mic at the rally, and Mysonne talks with Riviera Beach Mayor Lawson about record turnout in his community. Plus a Michigan check-in on Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate race and same-day registration, a shoutout to Charles Booker in Kentucky, and a push to bring a friend, a cousin, and everybody you know to the polls.

Week 4 of the “What’s at Stake” midterm series: Project 2025 vs. Black-led organizations. Mary Pat Hector, CEO of Rise, joins Tamika and Mysonne to break down how Project 2025 and drying-up funding are hitting Black-led organizations. In 2024, Rise had more than 2,000 young people on staff, and now it’s a fraction of that. Before she comes on, Tamika asks why Black celebrities and wealthy donors aren’t putting real money into the ground game when Elon Musk has reportedly put $256 million into the midterms. Mysonne weighs in on a Black pastor’s viral clip about Texas, and the two talk through Nicki Minaj, celebrity campaign rollouts on both sides, and why every election is essential. They also open with a quick fasting and cleanse check-in. Early voting is underway, so tune in, share it, and get your people to the polls.
