Deadly Flash Floods Devastate Texas; Trump Tariff Deadline Looms

Deadly Flash Floods Devastate Texas; Trump Tariff Deadline Looms

On today's podcast:
1) More than 80 people die in flash floods across Texas as search and rescue efforts continue. A catastrophic flood in Kerrville, Texas, caused by torrential rains, has resulted in at least 82 deaths and many missing, including children, with the area remaining at risk of further inundation. Politicians are questioning whether federal, state, and local officials were adequately prepared, with some raising concerns about the accuracy of weather forecasts and potential staffing cuts at the National Weather Service.

2) President Trump shifts his economic focus from taxes to trade as his tariff deadline looms. The US is preparing to send tariff letters to dozens of countries in the coming days, with the Trump administration’s 90-day pause on higher duties set to expire on Wednesday. Trump said in a separate post that the letters would start being delivered from noon Monday, Washington time.

3) Tesla shares tumble after Elon Musk makes plans for a new political party. President Trump criticized Elon Musk's bid to start a new political party, calling it "ridiculous" and saying that third parties have never worked in the US. Musk announced the formation of a new "America Party" on Saturday, a day after Trump signed a tax-cut and spending bill into law that Musk had denounced.
