The workers at the JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado went on strike and won a new contract with better pay and benefits. Many of those workers are immigrants from countries that the Trump administration has stripped of their Temporary Protected Status visas. FERN senior editor Ted Genoways returns to his reporting on Tchelly Moise, a Haitian immigrant who helped lead the strike at one of the largest meatpacking plants in the country.

As the fight for Congress grows more tense, the difference between victory for Red or Blue may hinge on the MAHA movement. Are its members satisfied with what the GOP and Donald Trump have done for them? Do they feel betrayed by everything that hasn’t gone their way? RFK Jr. may still be their charismatic leader, but he’s not on the ballot. Theodore Ross sits down with three great FERN reporters — Jill Filipovic, Jane Black, and Teresa Cotsirilos — to get their take on where the movement is headed and which party benefits now that food politics is driving the debate. This interview is part of FERN’s special series, “MAHA and the Midterms,” in partnership with Mother Jones and Politico.
