    Did the Texas Floods Have to Be This Deadly?

    A little over a week after the devastating floods in Central Texas, the death toll has reached more than 130 people — and the search for the missing continues. In the aftermath of the disaster, there have been mounting questions about how local officials handled the critical hours before and after the storm. Today, we look at the missed opportunities that may have contributed to the growing tragedy — and whether anything more could have been done to save lives. Guest: Christopher Flavelle, a Times reporter covering how President Trump is transforming the local government.. Background reading:  Kerr County, where most of the deaths occurred, failed to secure a warning system, even as local officials remained aware of the risks and as billions of dollars were available for similar projects.Years before the floods, the Federal Emergency Management Agency had approved the removal of many Camp Mystic buildings from flood zones, records show.Eight-year-olds at camp, families in their R.V.s: These were some of the lives lost to the Texas floods.For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

    One Rural Doctor on the Cuts to Medicaid

    When Republicans passed their big domestic policy bill just over a week ago, they kept making the same argument about sweeping changes to Medicaid: that the measures, including new work requirements, would encourage able-bodied adults to earn their health care, ultimately creating a fairer system for everyone. Critics said the opposite: they have predicted that millions of working people who need health care will lose it. The truth will emerge in rural and often Republican-voting areas where cuts to Medicaid funding will be felt most deeply. Natalie Kitroeff spoke to a family doctor in one of those places, western North Carolina, about what she thinks will happen to her patients. Guest: Shannon Dowler, a family physician and health advocate in western North Carolina. Background reading:  In North Carolina, President Trump’s domestic policy law jeopardizes plans to reopen one rural county’s hospital — and health coverage for hundreds of thousands of state residents.The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicted that the Senate’s version of Trump’s bill would mean that 11.8 million more Americans would become uninsured by 2034.For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

    Is Congress About to Kill This Local Radio Station?

    From the moment President Trump and Republicans took control of Washington this year, they set out to turn their longtime threats against public media, which they see as biased, into action. Now, a piece of Republican legislation would cut more than a billion dollars from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which finances PBS and NPR. As the bill makes its way through Congress, those who work in public media are warning that radio stations in red, rural and Republican America will feel the deepest impact. Guests:  Jessica Cheung, a senior audio producer at The New York TimesTom Abbott, the general manager of KFSK-FM in Petersburg, Alaska  Background reading:  Some Republican senators voiced concern over the House-passed bill that would rescind money for NPR and PBS stations in their states.For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily. Transcripts of each episode will be made available by the next workday.  Photo Credit: Ash Adams for The New York Times. Caption: The town of Petersburg, Alaska, voted for Donald Trump by an almost 2-to-1 margin in the last election. Now Republicans in Congress are trying to pass cuts that would defund the community’s radio station. Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
