So how are you liking Trump’s economy? The senseless tariffs? The DOGE cuts?
Texas U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett tells Rick Wilson that billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg have gotten a life raft, but as for the rest of us? “We are all on the same ship that’s sinking.”
Rep. Crockett — whose Trump impression cracked Rick up a couple times — admits that she’s “not really good at sitting on the sidelines and letting people punch me.” Exhibit A: When she infamously told Trump fave Marjorie Taylor Greene that she had “bleach blonde bad built butch body.”

This year will be a big one for Atlantic hurricanes. That’s according to Colorado State University’s tropical forecast team — among others. It’s not yet predicted to be bigger than the monster year we had last year, but still largely above average.
And yet, our Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem wants to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency — FEMA. Her big, shiny idea is to move financial responsibility primarily to the states. The states, she says, are better able to manage their own disasters.
Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz has a lot to say about this, and he’s an expert. He led emergency response in his home state of Florida during COVID and other disasters, and knows exactly what a breakdown in federal leadership would mean for millions of us who will one day depend on it.
