It’s a jam-packed episode as Tara returns after the storm to unpack what really happened on the roads, why forecasts missed so badly, and what colder winters mean going forward 🧊🌡️.

Then, the conversation shifts to a blunt political reality check: violent unrest, collapsing narrative control, and a messaging strategy that Tara says failed at the exact moment it mattered most 📉🔥. From Minneapolis chaos and polling alarms 📊 to the absence of a coordinated communications war room 🎯, Tara argues that the story wasn’t told — and the public never heard it.

This episode blends real-world storm impacts, weather model failures, animal safety 🐾❤️, and a no-holds-barred critique of leadership, messaging discipline, and missed opportunities.
