Coming up on today's show:

• Joan Walsh of The Nation talks about the latest national political news, including how GOP flips of Congressional seats in New York helped Republicans gain control of the House - and who is responsible for that in New York, plus the news that Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to investigation former President Trump.
• George Devolder-Santos US Representative-elect (R, NY-3), and Dan Goldman, US Representative-elect (D, NY-10), are two of the brand-new members of Congress from our area. First, George Devolder-Santos re-introduces himself to listeners and talks about his priorities, then Dan Goldman does the same.
• The future of a major NYC climate law hangs in the balance. In 2019, the City Council passed legislation to cap carbon pollution from buildings, but advocates worry if the Adams administration doesn't do more on enforcement, the law will be undermined and ineffective. Rosemary Misdary, of WNYC and Gothamist explains.
• Sharon Kleinbaum, senior rabbi and spiritual leader of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah in New York City, reflects on the mass shooting at an LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs. Plus she talks about threats to LGBTQ spaces here in NYC, as well as threats to synagogues and anti-Semitism after two men were arrested this weekend in connection with threats they allegedly made toward synagogues.
