Status Coup News' Jordan Chariton returns to Bad Faith to provide an update on the toxic fallout from the East Palestine train derailment and report on how residents on the ground are souring on their senator, JD Vance. Vance once championed the people of East Palestine, but he has failed to follow up on new revelations that the crisis was mismanaged. Does his inclusion on the Trump 2024 ticket constrain his advocacy for his own constituents due to policy differences with Trump -- or was his advocacy always superficial? Also, Jordan connects the East Palestine crisis to the Flint water crisis and previews his new book We the Poisoned: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Cover Up and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans.
