    Spent part of last night looking back at all the related stories leading up to the indictment of @NYCMayor. Amazing how reporters with no subpoena power unraveled so much. Here's a thread of some standouts ⏬

    Personal News: Starting next month I’ll be working at @Gothamist/@WNYC as news editor after over 6 years running the @NorwoodNews. I’m forever grateful for the chance to have steered the ship to a #Bronx paper I’ve loved before I took over. It’s been a real honor.

    .@NYPDChiefOfDept takes a knee with protesters outside Washington Square Park. I believe this makes Monahan the highest ranking cop to do so.

    .@NYCMayor, at a news conference, seems to be adopting a different strategy--COVID is pretty much here to stay and doesn't want to shut anything down. This is even after his own Health Department raised the COVID alert level to high.

    "When was the last time we profiled these guys?" @NYCMayor says about heroic police officers who put their lives on the line. Again @NYCMayor...journalists are not a public relations arm for @NYPDnews.

    I’m going to have to dumb my response down because it’s clearly not resonating yet: The fact that neo-Nazis are praising Adams speaks volumes as to how these comments are being construed and ultimately weaponized. Don’t be surprised if the GOP uses the clip for a campaign ad.

    You know what also resonates with neo-Nazis? Having their voices uplifted by a New York City paper when no New Yorker cares what these bigots have to say. The @NYDailyNews should stop reading and worse, legitimizing nazi websites.
