On today's show: 

  • After Donald Trump was elected the first time, in 2016, people were publicly and visibly shocked; women marched with pussy hats and the so-called "resistance" sprang up. Jennifer Gerson, reporter at the 19th, reports on how the resistance vibes are different this time, and listeners opposed to Trump weigh in on how and whether they are planning to oppose his next administration.
  • Jessica Orozco Guttlein, senior vice president of policy and communications at Hispanic Federation, is joined by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY 14th District) to discuss how advocates are pushing for Temporary Protected Status for Ecuadorians and analyzes broader immigration issues as President-elect Trump prepares to take office.
  • Max Chafkin, senior reporter at Bloomberg Businessweek and host of the new podcast Citizen Elon, looks at how Elon Musk took center stage in Trump's campaign, and what the billionaire's involvement in the government might look like going forward.
  • Anna North, senior correspondent for Vox and author of their Kids Today Newsletter, talks about the data showing a big growth in the number of toys in households with children, why it's not so fun for parents or children, and how some parents are trying, and often failing, to stem the tide.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
