Summary

Deadly tornadoes just tore through Kentucky and Missouri, leaving devastation in their path and thousands still waiting on FEMA aid that hasn’t shown up. Not exactly shocking, considering Trump and the MAGA crew gutted the agency, slashing resources and stacking it with loyalists instead of experts. So now, with more severe storms on the way, communities are left asking: what are we supposed to do? Don breaks down the impact of these storms, the disgraceful delay in federal response, and how disaster relief has become just another casualty of this administration’s war on competence. Because when you dismantle government on purpose, don’t be surprised when it doesn’t show up. This episode is brought to you by Zbiotics.
