Hi, I'm Jane Koston, former writer and podcaster for places like The New York Times, The Atlantic, and National Review.

And now I'm here to hang out with you, five days a week on What a Day, Crooked's Daily News Podcast.

That's right, now who's respected on both sides. These days, it's hard to separate what matters from all the noise,

means for the climate fight. What do we know about what he has said he will do and what he

make it much harder for the U.S. to rejoin. It could make the entire process of a new administration
