Hi, Brian Laira here.

Up next, Brian Lairor Weekend,

three of our favorite segments from the week,

packaged together for you to listen to on the weekend.

So enjoy, and I'll see you back on the radio Monday at 10 a.m.

on WNYC on WNYC.

I'm Bridget Bergen, senior reporter in the WNYC and Gothamist Newsroom.

Filling in for Brian today, happy Friday.

Coming up on today's show, we'll talk about the deal President Trump and Senate Democrats have said they reach to continue funding the government.

And what's happening with the changes to the Department of Homeland Security and its immigration

enforcement operations that Democrats were demanding.

Chavon Hughes from the Wall Street Journal would be with us in about half an hour to talk about that.

Plus, have you heard about the general strike some activists are planning for today?

Are you participating?

We'll talk to Rutgers Labor Relations

Professor Eric Blanc about the history of General Strikes, the relatively rare, and how this one

today might go. And we'll wrap today's show with your calls about your cozy hobbies. We're

talking about activities like knitting and other textile arts, maybe puzzles, playing board games, or, you know,

are you back to baking sourdough? You get the idea. What have you gotten into during this

incredibly frigid stretch of winter? And is it helping you feel more grounded during what is a tough

time for so many people? We want to hear about your cozy hobbies around 1140 today.

But first, it's January 30th.
