Tuesday Morning Politics: Rep. Mikie Sherrill; Mayor Adams' Budget 'Whiplash'; Meat and the Climate Crisis; Third Spaces

Coming up on today’s show:

Mikie Sherrill, U.S. Representative (D, NJ-11), talks about the latest issues at play in Congress, including aid for Israel and Ukraine, the southern border, the potential deal for an expanded child tax credit and more.
Greg David, contributor covering fiscal and economic issues for THE CITY and director of the business and economics reporting program and Ravitch Fiscal Reporting Program at the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, examines the cancelled spending cuts and the mayor’s management of the budget.
Kenny Torrella, staff writer for Vox’s Future Perfect section and author of Vox’s “Meat/Less” newsletter, breaks down the role that meat plays in contributing to the climate crisis, from animals’ greenhouse gas emissions to how trees are clear cut to make room for farms, and offers tips on how to incorporate more plant-based food into listeners’ diets.
Per the nature of neoliberal capitalism, much of what was once deemed public space is now private, shrinking the possibilities of places to go without spending money and finding community. Listeners share their favorite third spaces, and discuss how these spaces have changed.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
