This did it:
<cfif isDate(emergency_rss_feed.items[1].pubdate)>
<cfset
date_published="#ParseDateTime(emergency_rss_feed.items[1].pubdate)#">
<cfset test_date="#DateAdd('h',-25,Now())#">
<cfif test_date lt date_published>
</cfif>
The part I was missing was ParseDateTime.

Convert to EST by using DateAdd() to add/subtract the correect number of hours
and then use dateCompare() to check the CST date against now() (for the 24
hours check)
