On today's show: 

  • Sabrina Siddiqui, national politics reporter at The Wall Street Journal, talks about the latest news from Washington, especially related to the war with Iran.

  • Last month, Mayor Mamdani went to Washington to pitch President Trump on providing federal funds to build a huge housing development on top of Sunnyside Yard. David Brand, housing reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, discusses what Queens politicians and residents think about the idea, and how sentiment on the plan has changed since former Mayor de Blasio first floated the idea.

  • Writer and reporter Craig Welch talks about his New York Times Magazine feature, "Why Are So Many Teen Girls Still Tearing Their A.C.L.s?" and what needs to happen to prevent the injuries.

  • Listeners weigh in on whether they'd prefer to stay on daylight saving time, or standard time permanently, or whether they are fine with the status quo of changing the clocks. Plus, they talk about how the time change affects them personally.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
