Coming up on today's show:

  • Ruth Marcus, opinion columnist for The Washington Post, talks about the latest national political news of the day, including the status of President-elect Trump's nominees, plus offers her opinions on how she sees Trump's plans to expand presidential power and undermine democracy.
  • The Adams administration and City Council struck a deal on the housing plan known as "City of Yes," and a key committee in the council voted to approve it. David Brand, housing reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, talks about what's in the deal, and when the final vote will take place.
  • Kathryn Garcia, director of state operations for the state of New York, explains how the state will implement the congestion pricing tolling program that Governor Hochul paused, and then un-paused at a lower price point.
  • As our centennial series continues, Zinga Fraser, assistant professor of Africana Studies and Women's and Gender Studies, director of the Shirley Chisholm Project at Brooklyn College and the author of Shirley Chisholm In Her Own Words: Speeches and Writings (University of California Press, 2024), looks at the life and legacy of Brooklyn's Shirley Chisholm, born 100 years ago this month.
