In Washington, D.C., the federal government is closed – as are most of the schools in the area. That's because the first major snow storm in about three years barreled in Sunday night.
Meanwhile, the Southern U.S. is preparing for another storm that could paralyze parts of Texas, Arkansas and Northern Louisiana.
And Southern California is preparing for "life threatening, destructive gusts" driving wildfires.
That's a lot of wild weather...so what's going on?

Stanford professor Keith Humphreys explains why. Plus, advice on how hard a bargain Greenland should drive as a target of U.S. acquisition. And why we should embrace New York City’s anti-NIMBY declaration, “It Can Happen,” as the city strives to become a CITY OF YES.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Reset Listens Back To Jimmy Carter On WBEZ
Jimmy Carter, America’s 39th president, died a little more than a week ago at the age of 100. Today, Carter lies in state at the U.S. Capitol. Back in 1988, Carter stopped by WBEZ to promote his latest book “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections.” In the wide-ranging interview that’s more than 36 years old, Carter shares his concerns about issues that are still relevant today: presidential transitions of power, bipartisanship and even climate change and clean energy. In this episode, we share excerpts from that 1988 interview with then-host Ken Davis. You can also hear the full interview here: Jimmy Carter warned of rising temperatures back in 1988 on WBEZ.

Lost Debate - RFK Jr.’s Health Agenda Unpacked
Meta announced today that it will end its fact-checking program as part of the company’s repositioning ahead of the upcoming Trump presidency. Ravi takes a closer look at the decision, what it suggests about Big Tech’s approach to the shifting political landscape, and the broader civic implications of Trump’s presidency.
Vanity Fair’s Katherine Eban then joins Ravi to discuss the rise of the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and its potential impact on public health policy. They first explore the movement’s key priorities, including controversial measures like promoting raw milk and limiting the use of preservatives. Katherine and Ravi then examine how MAHA’s diverse coalition, spanning from left-wing organic food advocates to far-right vaccine skeptics, reflects a growing distrust of health institutions. Finally, they dive into RFK Jr.’s potential appointment as Health Secretary, his history of vaccine skepticism, and how his confirmation could reshape public health narratives.
