She described how changes will strip coverage and critical care from thousands, especially in rural and marginalized communities. Stacy Shorter, President of AFGE Local 2328, explained concerns over the Supreme Court granting former President Trump the authority to fire federal workers at will, threatening job security and agency integrity.

I started listening to the Rick Smith Show when I first moved to Pennsylvania and Rick was in the early days of building his show. I frequently say that Rick taught me everything I needed to know about Pennsylvania politics. Since those days, the Rick Smith Show has grown national in scope, bringing unparalleled focus on the stories that matter to working-class Americans. Rick's slogan "the voice of the working-class" couldn't be more on the mark. There is no other show that brings the voices of the labor movement, workers' struggles, and politics and policies critical to working families.

And I challenge you not to laugh in between the serious discussions. Rick is one of a kind.

Simply no one else like Rick
