Congressman Espaillat; State Senator Salazar; GameStop; In-Person in New Jersey Schools

On today's show:

• U.S. Representative Adriano Espaillat (D, NY-13) talks about his district's experience with COVID-19 and vaccinations, plus the new administration's priorities and Congress.
• New York State Senator Julia Salazar (D, WF - 18th district) talks about her plan to avoid major budget cuts in New York State by instituting a tax on all Wall Street transactions -- and other priorities for the supermajority in Albany.
• Hannah Denham, national business reporter on The Washington Post's breaking news team, explains the day traders' impact on stock prices and hedge funds.
• The CDC recently found that schools weren't big contributors to spreading COVID-19 and could re-open for in-person instruction if certain precautions are taken. Andrew Rice, contributing editor at New York Magazine, reports on how the school re-opening debate has remained testy in a progressive New Jersey suburb -- and the school buildings remain closed. Plus, Nancy Solomon, WNYC's New Jersey reporter, talks about how Governor Murphy is figuring into local districts' decisions on how to conduct school this year - as well as the role COVID-19 vaccine distribution is playing.
