Right now, millions of Americans are feeling the strain from the 2025 government shutdown. Federal workers have been furloughed, food-assistance programs like SNAP are delayed, and local communities across Texas—especially here in San Antonio, Bexar County, and South Texas—are doing what they can to hold things together.
In this episode of 2nd 2None Podcast, we break down what’s really happening with the shutdown and the food-stamp delays, how court rulings may affect November benefits, and what it all means for working families. We also walk through a simple “How to Vote in Texas” checklist so you know how to check your registration, find early-voting sites, and learn about ID requirements from official sources like vote.gov and the Texas Secretary of State.
This conversation is all about understanding how national policy shows up in our neighborhoods—and how knowledge, wellness, and civic awareness keep us strong.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
