    NEWS: My new book is out Aug 12! It's a narrative history of NYC in the 80s, a sort of sequel to The Bronx Is Burning. It's the story of a cast of outsized figures (Koch, Sharpton, Trump, Rudy, Larry Kramer, Spike Lee and more) who turned the city into their own, grand stage 1/4

    NYT did not try to change ground rules. Trump did, asking for only a private meeting and no on-the-record segment, which NYT refused.

    I cancelled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. Not nice

    To save the subway will cost at least $100 billion. To not save it would be a historic act of self-destruction for New York and America. Here's why.

    NEW: Gretchen Whitmer and I have been talking every other day for two months about what it’s like to run a state during these unprecedented times. She was remarkably open. 1/4

    In next week's midterms, no state is more consequential than Wisconsin, where the G.O.P. is very close to a veto-proof super-majority in the statehouse, and the Dem governor (Tony Evers) is in a neck-and-neck race 1/4

    What Happened to Rudy? Maybe the better question is: What Happened to Us? How did figures like him become ascendant, not just in America but around the world? My latest.

    This, from @jessedrucker is staggering. Among the details: Households earning more than $500k a year can now deduct business losses from stock market gains to reduce capital gains taxes. nytimes.com/2020/04/24/bus…

    Amazing. NBC sat on Trump video for 4 days. The same network that brought you Trump on SNL and the Fallon tussle. wpo.st/l_642

    .@DineshDSouza is indicative of the downward trajectory of conservatism. He made his name with a well-regarded 1991 book denouncing political correctness and championing liberal education. Now he’s mocking school shooting survivors. Me in @PostOpinions: wapo.st/2EQxEW9
