A very early mention of decking the Sunnyside yards. Which says it had been discussed for 25 years prior to that. A century of indecision. So I remain hopeful but skeptical. www.nytimes.com/1951/05/20/a...

“It doesn’t really matter to us what the data shows,” says the union president. But it should matter to Gov. Hochul, who will need every spare MTA dollar. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

Urgent issues like New York City’s worsening housing crisis “have gotten far less attention than they deserve in the New York mayoral race,” Mara Gay writes. “Addressing the crisis will require every big idea and drop of political capital the next mayor can muster.”

How appropriate that one of the worst mayors we’ve ever had should endorse one of the worst governors.

These teams consistently did some of the best reporting at the network. 💔

One of the most baldly racist statements ever written by a modern U.S. government official: "The sharp increase in diversity has reduced the level of social trust” essential for democracy. Only refugees who can "fully and appropriately assimilate" should be let in. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Just watched David Firestone’s chilling interview w @nicollewallace.bsky.social. This whole piece is a must read. 🎁🔗: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/o...

For President Trump, “denying entire chapters of American history is as easy as denying last month’s jobs numbers, and it is no less dangerous to the nation’s understanding of itself,” David Firestone writes.

New op-ed: The Trump administration has made an aggressive effort to rewrite not only its own history but also that of the United States, especially as it is documented in its official museums and cultural artifacts. No shameful narratives are allowed. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/o...

We put together a very visual and mobile-friendly look at how videos shot by people on smarthpones have become a defining way that the public is seeing Trump's immigration crack down. www.nbcnews.com/specials/tru...

There is no one post or piece that can capture the force that was @tommyrobb.bsky.social, but my colleagues and I at @thecity.nyc did our best. Thank you, Tom, for your relentless focus on leaving the world better than you found it, knowing It’s not only possible to change things, but imperative.

New post: As much as Trump's lawyer tried to change the subject, the brazen unconstitutionality of the birthright citizenship order was impossible to ignore at the Supreme Court on Thursday. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Desperate to deport more immigrants without hearings, the White House is furious that federal judges have blocked all their flimsy legal justifications. Now Trump and Miller want to up the ante by suspending habeas corpus, but that's likely to fail, too. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

New post: Stephen Miller thought he found a way to deport immigrants by claiming Venezuela had invaded the U.S. A federal judge -- Trump's first Latino judicial appointment, back in 2017 -- ruled that there's no invasion going on, demolishing this flimsy pretext. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

New blog post: Which is more astonishing, the rank incompetence of the Trump administration, or the dishonesty revealed by its many mistakes? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

In a single day, Wisconsin voters showed how to beat Trumpism (and Muskism) on a practical level, and Cory Booker showed how on an emotional and moral level. That's the combination Democrats will have to repeat many times over as they begin to take on this fight.

New post at NYT Opinion: Musk has given Wisconsin voters precisely the caricature of a clueless, cheesy billionaire that Democrats could have wished. But tonight we'll find out whether that's enough. Is the mass of voters angry yet about Trump's first 70 days? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/o...

New blog post: The administration's definition of "operational security" means lying, sneering, and stonewalling to change the clear nature of reality. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

The Trump White House doesn't care about free speech, the NYT editorial board writes. It prioritizes far-right ideology — celebrating lies and hate speech — "while simultaneously trying to silence independent thought, inconvenient truths and voices of dissent." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

The corrupt Adams deal "is the clearest example yet of this administration’s efforts to bake quid-pro-quo dealmaking, coercive tactics, loyalty tests and other dishonorable practices into American government," the NYT editorial board writes. Adams must go. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/o...

Scholars can argue about a constitutional crisis, the NYT editorial board writes, but what's clear is that Trump's actions "are a frontal assault on the laws and norms that underpin American government — by the very people who are meant to execute the law." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

NYT editorial on Trump's arrogation of power: He "is testing Washington and the American people to see how far he can go in accumulating authority and in marginalizing anyone in a position to question his actions. It is a test the Constitution cannot afford to lose." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/o...

It was the worst thing that Donald Trump did on an awful day, and only one major newspaper condemned it in an editorial. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/o...

By granting clemency to every rioter, Trump is proclaiming that violence is a perfectly legitimate form of political expression and that no price need be paid by those who seek to disrupt a sacred constitutional transfer of power. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/o...

Anti-city sentiment is on the rise, and is likely to dominate Washington. New York has to show America that big cities can still work www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...

While some other ed boards ducked their responsibilities this year, we did the right thing, and I'm proud to have worked for an Opinion section that doesn't cower or bend the knee. Many thanks to a group of truly inspiring colleagues and lasting friends. /end

No one seems to believe I'm serious, but I'm retiring from the NYT this week, after almost 50 years in the business. I started at The Times in 1993 and it's been a privilege to work in many different sections, most recently the editorial board (after some great years at 538 and NBC News). /1

Yes, it's amazing that Matt Gaetz might have been attorney general, but when you read through the full ethics committee report, it's not hard to see what Trump and Gaetz have in common. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/23/o...

All it took was one social media post (inspired by Tom Cotton?) for Trump to kill the national reporter's shield bill in the Senate. But if any Republican senators are left who believe in the First Amendment, they can still make it a priority. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/o...

The Senate might have been able to confirm more circuit judges had it not been for opposition from some independents and a few Democratic senators. Now Trump will fill those openings. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/26/o...

Trump isn't done trying to push around the Senate, writes Michelle Cottle. But Gaetz's withdrawal is at least a sign that some Republican senators have red lines. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/o...

Mike Parson of Missouri, one of the most pro-gun governors in the country, had to flee the violence in Kansas City yesterday. Is there the slightest chance that might lead him to reconsider his adamantine positions? Don't count on it... www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02...

The impeachment of Mayorkas was an utterly partisan and deeply dishonest act that debases the House’s role in the structure of the Constitution. It forever shatters a barrier that was considered sacred by previous Houses, which took their responsibility seriously. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02...
