On December 7, 2016, “TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent” debuted on WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica station.  Through 127 episodes, we did our best to cut through the bluster coming  from the White House to help you figure out the concrete ways that our country has been changed by Donald Trump and his administration. For our final show, we take your calls on how the resistance to this president has changed protest movements in the US.

Of all the consequences of climate change that we know about, one that rarely gets discussed is its affect on the affordable housing crisis. Back in June, President Trump (who has denied the existence of global warming throughout his presidency) signed an executive order aimed at “tearing down red tape in order to build more affordable housing.” But as reported in Teresa Wiltz’s article for The Pew Charitable Trusts Statewide blog, “Climate Change Is Making the  Affordable Housing Crunch Worse,” the administration’s refusal to engage in efforts to reduce carbon emissions is creating larger issues than red tape to contend with.  On this week’s TrumpWatch, Teresa Wiltz explains why climate change is making the housing crunch even worse.

On  Monday, attorneys general for 19 states and the District of Columbia announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration in the hopes of  blocking a sweeping new rule which would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement to indefinitely hold migrant families in detention.  But will it work? On this week’s TrumpWatch, immigration reporter for Reuters Mica Rosenberg unpacks this blue state attempt to block President Trump’s border policy in the courts.
