In this episode of A World Gone Mad, I’m talking about what happens when accountability starts to quietly slip away and the public is told to accept official answers without real scrutiny.

Recent developments suggest that something fundamental’s shifting, and not in a reassuring direction.

I begin with the shooting in Minnesota, where Renée Nicole Good was killed during a federal immigration enforcement action and serious questions are being raised about who’s allowed to investigate what happened.

The response from authorities has triggered concerns about oversight, jurisdiction, and how quickly control of a deadly incident can be locked down.

This isn’t a conversation about political sides or policy slogans. It’s about process, authority, and what it means when transparency narrows instead of expands after someone’s killed.

I then turn to Washington and growing alarm over the future of FEMA, the agency tasked with responding when disasters strike.

Behind-the-scenes decisions could significantly alter how prepared the country is when the next emergency hits.

When disaster response is treated as a budget line instead of a lifeline, the consequences don’t show up immediately, but they always show up eventually. Delays, gaps, and failures tend to surface at the worst possible moment.

This episode looks at how power, oversight, and preparedness intersect, and why it matters when systems designed to protect the public begin to weaken at the same time.

I also talked about the major financial upheaval that my girlfriend and I are going through since this last Friday.
