[DONATE] This episode of The Collective US podcast from Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency focuses on the devastating March 2025 ice storms in Northern Michigan and the community's response. Hosts Erica Austin and Ryan Buck speak with Emmet County Emergency Management Coordinator Matt Blythe, Emmet County Recycling's Lindsay Walker, and NMCAA Housing & Energy Efficiency Services Director Tish Stave.The guests describe how advance warnings from the National Weather Service prompted limited pre-storm coordination with partners like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. The first wave seemed typical, but a second wave brought heavy ice, high winds, massive tree loss (millions in Emmet County), widespread power outages, and dangerous road conditions. Nearly 88% of roads closed, critical facilities like hospitals and jails lost generator power, and fuel shortages forced emergency vehicles to refuel far from the county.Response efforts included opening 11 shelters (including the casino), conducting wellness checks, clearing roads for medical transport, and coordinating food and water distribution. Volunteer amateur radio operators provided field reports when other communications failed. Walker's role focused on debris management, securing contractors to process wood waste for biomass energy, and exploring better food waste recovery methods. Stave described flexible local grant funds that helped residents with uninsured or underinsured losses, from roof and window repairs to replacing a broken well pump or car windshield.Long-term recovery needs include homeowner debris removal support, better generator access for critical facilities, stronger communication systems, and planning for food preservation during extended outages. Guests emphasized Northern Michigan's resilience, neighbor-to-neighbor help, and the value of partnerships between local government, nonprofits, faith groups, businesses, and volunteers. They also urged residents to prepare with basic supplies, communication plans, and a willingness to seek available help.Months later, debris cleanup continues, biomass facilities have reached capacity, and grant programs remain open for affected households. The episode closes on the importance of improving preparedness, strengthening recovery systems, and mobilizing community volunteers to restore parks, trails, and natural areas.

Local broadcast meteorologists have become more vocal about the evidence of climate change in their communities' weather in recent years. While some have encountered dramatic pushback, others have found audiences that are eager to understand the causes of recent record-breaking disturbances in familiar weather patterns.  In Phoenix, meteorologist Amber Sullins—formerly a climate skeptic, herself—uses her role to inform an increasingly concerned audience about not only the risks but the climate change factors contributing to the unprecedented extreme heat they experience.  And far to the other end of the Ten Across region in Miami, Michael Lowry is putting his background in meteorology and emergency management to work on multiple platforms, explaining both the immediate dangers and the greater, complex drivers of worsening tropical storms.  But even as more meteorologists like Amber and Michael embrace their unique ability to use the immediacy of local weather to connect the public to the larger context of climate change, there is growing concern about loss of critical federal weather and climate data on which their forecasts are based.  Severe cuts are being made at federal agencies—particularly within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees the sources of nearly all U.S. weather information. A proposed budget change for 2026 would reduce resources even further.  Listen in as Amber, Michael, and Ten Across founder Duke Reiter discuss these changes and the implications for both forecast accuracy and public safety as the climate continues to warm.  Relevant links and resources:  Read Michael's column in the New York Times  2017 Bloomberg video report on Amber's climate coverage"After DOGE cuts, National Weather Service gets OK to fill up to 450 jobs" (The LA Times, August 2025)“US Weather Boss During ‘Sharpiegate' Nears Return to a Shrinking Agency” (Bloomberg, August 2025)  “After 7 Decades of Measurements From a Peak in Hawaii, Trump's Budget Would End Them” (The New York Times, July 2025)   “Nearly half of National Weather Service offices are crticially understaffed, experts warn” (PBS News, April 2025)  “Woking Paper: The Value of Improving Hurricane Forecasts” (The National Bureau of Economic Research, 2024)  “One sent tsunami alerts.

She is also vice chairman of the University of Arizona Hydrology and Atmospheric Science Board, a six-time Emmy-winner, and guest anchor on Good Morning America. Amber began her career as a broadcast meteorologist with KVIA-TV in El Paso.  Michael Lowry is the hurricane specialist and storm surge expert for WPLG-TV in Miami, Florida. He previously held roles at the National Hurricane Center as a senior scientist leading the development of groundbreaking new storm surge forecasts and warnings, and at the Federal Emergency Management Agency as disaster planning chief responsible for overhauling the master hurricane response plan after the deadly 2017 season.

Synopsis:  US Labour Leader Sounds Alarm on Government Attacks.  Sara Nelson's urgent call to action for cross-industry worker solidarity and general strikes as a powerful countermeasure against the Trump administration's plans to gut government agencies ending federal contracts is both timely and crucial.  The uncut conversation includes the entire rich and inspiring discussion ringing in at 50minutes.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateFull Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation. These audio exclusives are made possible thanks to our member supporters.Description: Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. You may remember her integral role in threatening a strike, which helped pressure the Trump administration to end the 2019 government shutdown. But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning. We can actually set the agenda and make things better.”Guest:  Sara Nelson: International President of the Association of Flight Attendants- (AFA-CWA) (representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines)  Watch the episode released on YouTube July 18th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 20th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to central Texas today to tour damage of the devastating July 4th weekend floods. More than 100 people have been confirmed dead, and nearly 200 are still missing a week later. As people in the region continue to mourn their loved ones and assess the destruction, there has been a lot of finger-pointing over whether more could have been done to alert people about the flood risks. If staffing cuts at the National Weather Service played a role, and who's to blame for the mounting death toll? Richard Spinrad, the former administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, talks about how staffing cuts make the agency's job harder.And in headlines: A federal judge in New Hampshire blocked the Trump Administration's order ending birthright citizenship after a class-action challenge, retiring Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tills unloads during a CNN exclusive interview, and former Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil filed a claim against the Trump administration for $20 million in damages.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Authorities were still searching for survivors of the deadly July 4 floods in Central Texas when some Democrats started asking whether President Donald Trump's cuts at the National Weather Service exacerbated the disaster. Republicans, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz, accused those Democrats of “partisan finger-pointing.” How early is too early to talk about accountability? And is a nuanced policy conversation to prevent future tragedies possible in our political climate? Democratic strategist Rebecca Pearcey joins on the left, Republican strategist Mike Dubke joins on the right, and host David Greene holds down the center. Five years after the pandemic, American kids are still struggling in reading and math. Glimmers of hope are shining in red states like Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. What are those states doing right? And are both parties too distracted by the culture war to focus on improving public education?Elon Musk threatened to start a third party if Trump passed his “Big Beautiful Bill.” The tech billionaire launched that party on X this week, saying he wants to represent the “80%” of Americans “in the middle.” Is anyone on the left or the right taking him seriously? Or is this just the latest development in his very-public spat with the president?

The National Weather Service lost some 600 positions early in the second Trump administration, through early retirements and layoffs. Now the agency says it's working to fill some “mission-critical” roles. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has also proposed cutting the greater NOAA budget by more than 25% next year.A rising chorus of meteorologists and climate experts warn that efforts to shrink the federal workforce and downplay global warming could compromise accurate weather forecasts and climate monitoring.

Right-wing influencers and conspiracy theorists lose it over a Justice Department memo that says there's no evidence Jeffrey Epstein had a “client list” or blackmailed his associates. Criticism of DOGE's cuts to the National Weather Service resurface after catastrophic floods hit central Texas. In a Fourth of July ceremony, President Trump signs his disastrous economic plan into law. Jon and Tommy break down the Medicaid cuts, ICE funding, and the highly unusual tax breaks that made it into the final “Big Beautiful Bill.” Then they check in on Elon Musk's growing threat to launch a new political party, and they discuss Kilmar Abrego Garcia's allegation that he was tortured in El Salvador's CECOT megaprison.

In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the chaos unfolding under Donald Trump's leadership: devastating floods strike Texas, exposing the catastrophic consequences of Trump's cuts to FEMA, the National Weather Service, and NOAA—leaving the federal government flat-footed and unprepared. Meanwhile, Trump's DOJ and FBI abruptly declare the Epstein case “closed,” insisting there's no client list and nothing more to uncover. As his trade deal promises collapse, Trump abandons negotiations altogether and instead sends out bizarre letters announcing tariffs. And in yet another escalation, Trump deploys a militarized police force to storm Los Angeles. All this and more from Ben, Brett and Jordy on today's episode.
