As FEMA fails and flails in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Ann throws down the gauntlet to MAGA country: "I don't want to hear about a stolen election or Democrats cheating if Republicans don't throw everything they have at getting supplies and electricity. Help them build their buildings. But also, as the election gets closer, make sure they have their ballots, make sure their ballots get delivered."

Also on the show:

• JD Vance is "slick"
• Is FEMA really out of money?
• Recycling and "tethered" bottle caps
• The Gender Gap is back!

Opening sound is Maggie Jarry, M. Div., U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, speaking on a 2023 FEMA Zoom call on "equitable disaster relief."
