OA 1076:\xa0In the wake of the devastation left by hurricanes Helene and Milton, we examine the state of FEMA\u2019s Congressional funding. Has disaster relief actually become a \u201cpartisan\u201d issue, or is this really just a Republican thing? How are these funds distributed, and why can\u2019t Congress ever seem to fully fund anything? Matt explains why the current state of Congressional appropriations has him looking for flights to Denmark. Then: Why is Ron DeSantis\u2019s Department of Health threatening to bring criminal charges against local TV stations airing pro-choice ads in support of Florida\u2019s proposed Amendment 4?

Finally, we drop a footnote to check in on the current state of the longest-running criminal trial in Georgia history and listen in on what the judge most recently assigned to the Young Thug RICO case has had to say to Fani Willis\u2019s office about how they are handling it.
