Most of the attention for President Trump’s Cabinet nominees fell on candidates like Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth. But the name Russell Vought might end up being the most powerful. Vought was narrowly confirmed to run the Office of Management and Budget. During his hearings he endorsed work requirements before Americans receive certain benefits. This hour, we discuss programs designed to address poverty — specifically, childhood poverty and food insecurity. Our guests discuss it:

• Julia Tedesco, president and CEO of Foodlink

• TeJay Chess, natural resources educator and climate stewards coordinator for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County

• Laurencé Walker, community nutrition educator for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County

• Saru Harn, founder of Bhoja Inc.
