Michael Dunne discusses with Dr. Patrick Luedke, Lane County's Medical Director, about a bacteriological infection, shigella, spreading among the unhoused population. Shigella, which causes severe symptoms like bloody diarrhea, has led to 18 confirmed cases in Lane County, with 11 hospitalizations. The bacteria is typically spread through food, water, and person-to-person contact. Dr. Luedke emphasizes the importance of hygiene and sanitation to prevent its spread. Plus, Alex Baumhardt from The Oregon Capitol Chronicle reports on the impact of federal budget cuts and tariffs on Oregon's nonprofits and businesses, highlighting the concerns of local leaders and the potential for a recession.

Michael Dunne discusses the Endangered Species Act (ESA) with Colin Reynolds and Joseph Vail from Defenders of Wildlife. The ESA, celebrated for its 50-year success in saving 99% of protected species, faces threats from the Trump administration. Proposed changes include redefining "harm" to exclude habitat destruction, which could weaken protections. The ESA Amendments Act of 2025, sponsored by Bruce Westerman, aims to weaken the ESA by eliminating critical habitat protections and fast-tracking de-listing. Defenders of Wildlife opposes these measures, emphasizing the ESA's crucial role in biodiversity and ecosystem health. They urge public action to support the ESA.
