4 segments

Coming up on today's show:

The journalist and advice columnist E. Jean Carroll has accused former President Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the '90s - and the case in court his week stems from a lawsuit she was able to file because of the Adult Survivors Act. Jane Manning, director, Women's Equal Justice Project and former sex crimes prosecutor, offers legal analysis of the case, and New York's Adult Survivors Act - which opened up a one-year "lookback" window for adult survivors of sexual assault to file civil lawsuits.
JoAnn Kamuf-Ward, deputy commissioner for policy & external affairs at the New York City Commission on Human Rights, explains how New Yorkers can get help with "source of income discrimination,' and other types of housing and employment discrimination.
Now in its fourth week of delay, the New York State budget is held up on issues surrounding charter schools, illegal cannabis shops, and more. Jon Campbell, Albany reporter for WNYC/Gothamist, breaks down what's behind the hold up.
The housewares chain Bed Bath & Beyond filed for bankruptcy this weekend and will close all of its stores. Listeners call in to talk about their favorite memories of BBB, including when they shopped there for milestones like moving into a dorm, getting married, or having a baby... and of course, the endless giant coupons.
