This week, Lisa and David dive straight into the Texas floods — over 100 people dead, families shattered, and a government scrambling to change the subject. But Trump’s team is working overtime to keep climate change, disaster preparedness, and those brutal cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service out of the conversation. It’s not just incompetence — it’s a deliberate strategy, straight out of Project 2025, to make sure the public never gets the facts or the warning they need.
They break down how this flood-the-zone-with-distraction approach is leaving real people in the lurch: Rural hospitals are closing, Medicaid is on the chopping block, and the folks who can least afford it are paying the highest price. Lisa calls out the gaslighting — how the same politicians gutting the safety net are the ones blaming everyone else when disaster hits.
This isn’t just about Texas, or even just about flooding: It’s about a coordinated attack on expertise, science, and democracy itself.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Lisa and David get into what it actually takes to push back, from showing up in every district (not just the swing ones) to telling the truth about what’s happening on the ground. Don’t underestimate the power of local action and the need for real messengers — not just politicians. Giving up is not an option.
