    Morning C train: Evidently drunk man boards, tells a woman she has a “tight body,” is cheerfully challenged to fisticuffs by a middle-aged dude wearing a backpack. Down to the floor — bam! — they go. Seats clear. Older woman shouts: “IT’S TOO EARLY FOR THIS.” I love NYC.

    I rewatched this clip in early April, when things in NYC were so bleak, and it made me weep with dumb joy and nostalgia. Regis was singular in his ability to pull off this kind of moment, without irony.

    The subpoena, seen by @WSJ, asks for documents/communications related to “donations or payments made by donors directly to contractors and/or vendors," and for communications with LA financier Imaad Zuberi and his firm.
    NEWS: Lawyers for Trump's inaugural committee received a subpoena for documents today from the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office. The subpoena seeks documents related to the fund's donors and spending, according to a copy viewed by @WSJ. w/@rebeccadobrien wsj.com/articles/lawye…

    It’s not every day an email I write is quoted by OIG…
    Replying to @nycsouthpaw
    Much of the FBI's cover up of the Nassar bungling appears to have been prompted by intrepid reporting in early 2017 from local hero @rebeccadobrien and @louiseradnofsky. Their story: wsj.com/articles/fbi-i…
