Deadly tornadoes just tore through Kentucky and Missouri, leaving devastation in their path and thousands still waiting on FEMA aid that hasn’t shown up. Not exactly shocking, considering Trump and the MAGA crew gutted the agency, slashing resources and stacking it with loyalists instead of experts. So now, with more severe storms on the way, communities are left asking: what are we supposed to do? Don breaks down the impact of these storms, the disgraceful delay in federal response, and how disaster relief has become just another casualty of this administration’s war on competence. Because when you dismantle government on purpose, don’t be surprised when it doesn’t show up. This episode is brought to you by Zbiotics.

In a move that feels ripped from a dystopian satire, the Justice Department is now using the False Claims Act (yes, the one meant to catch fraud) to go after universities and institutions with diversity programs. Because under the Trump administration, fighting racism is now considered racist, and DEI efforts are somehow the real threat to America. Let’s be clear, this isn’t about fraud. It’s about targeting institutions Trump sees as too liberal, too inclusive, or just too inconvenient. It’s red meat for the base and a direct attack on the communities already fighting for visibility and opportunity. Don breaks it all down...the legal tactics, the political theater, and what this crackdown on DEI means for the future of equity in education and beyond. This episode is brought to you by Zbiotics.

Joe Biden’s recent cancer diagnosis has sparked concern across the country, and predictably, it’s also unleashed some of the worst takes imaginable from MAGA world. Leading the charge? Vice President J.D. Vance, who wasted no time turning a serious health issue into a political cheap shot. Because empathy, apparently, isn't part of the America First platform.

Trump is proudly promoting his latest masterpiece: the “Big Beautiful Bill.” But like most things in MAGA-world, the branding is shinier than the substance. This bill is packed with cuts to Medicaid, funding for mass deportations, and a slew of policies that read less like legislation and more like a wishlist from a dystopian fever dream. Unsurprisingly, it’s facing major hurdles in Congress, and not just from Democrats. Tonight, Don breaks down what’s actually in the bill, who it would hurt, and what happens if it somehow passes. Spoiler: it’s not “big” and “beautiful”...it’s just brutal. Let’s unpack the spin, the substance, and what it means for everyday Americans who aren’t billionaires or immigration officers.

President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with cancer, and while those close to him are keeping the messaging measured, the questions are piling up. Did he know earlier? What did this mean for his ability to serve? And how does this revelation fit with the recent wave of reporters and former allies openly questioning his mental fitness while in office? Let’s get into the facts, the speculation, and the uncomfortable truth about aging, power, and political denial. This episode of The Don Lemon Show is sponsored by 120 Life.

The Democratic Party is once again setting itself on fire...this time over David Hogg, the 25-year-old DNC vice chair who's daring to suggest that maybe, just maybe, some underperforming lawmakers should face a primary. Now party leadership is scrambling to push him out instead of, you know, listening to him. Why are they doing this? And why is bold, youth-led change always treated like a threat? Let’s talk about the real problem and why the Dems can’t stop tripping over their own messaging. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Just when you thought we’d hit peak dystopia, DHS and “ICE Barbie” Kristi Noem are reportedly considering a new reality show where immigrants compete for U.S. citizenship. Yes, seriously. The working title? “The American.” Because apparently, we’re now turning human rights into primetime entertainment. How would it work? Who decides who’s “American enough”? And how did we go from give us your tired, your poor to give us a good camera angle and a sob story? Don breaks down the terrifyingly real details of this immigration-as-reality-TV nightmare and what it says about the current administration’s obsession with cruelty as content. Because apparently deportation wasn’t humiliating enough without a ratings bump. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
