Donald Trump famously asked ‘Where’s my Roy Cohn?’ Joe Biden should ask ‘Where’s my Edward Levi?’ For AG he needs a Levi-like figure irreproachable enough to weigh all Trump-related investigations and let them live or die as warranted. @maggieNYT @RonaldKlain

Wouldn't it be fitting if statues of John Lewis replaced some of those other monuments -- to Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and all the others -- coming down?

For obvious reasons, every Senator and Governor in search of ventilators and masks is treading lightly with #realDonaldTrump. But there has to come a time when, instead of putting on gloves, they'll need to take them off. When do you think that will be? @NormOrnstein

I wish @AriMelber, @chrislhayes and other @MSNBC'ers would stop hyping the 'indelible' stain now on Trump. Is Bill Clinton so stigmatized? The sad truth is that by going after him, the GOP debased the tool. It's not Andrew Johnson's or Richard Nixon's impeachment anymore.

I admire Chris Hayes #inners enormously, but his triumphalist Morton Downey-like pep rallies are really unworthy of him. He could better (and more illuminatingly) spend his time at a Trump rally, dissecting Trump’s enduring appeal and pondering how likely it now is to last.

From Mitt Romney, who has absolutely NOTHING to lose (and, in a party which, in the event of Gotterdammerung, has no other road-tested presidential alternatives), comes a small ration of self-interested and excruciatingly calibrated courage.

Query: Who’s advertising more on New York television, #Geico or #tokillamockingbird? It’s a close call.

The Campaign Volunteer Whose Brilliance Haunted Robert F. Kennedy. Here’s a story on #RFK I couldn’t have written up to now. Nor could have anyone else.

Wonderful! Thanks.
I thought I knew from living with construction noise! But this amazingly reported New York story explains that the ultrarich even consume more decibels than the rest of us, and serve them up with a side of sanctimoniousness.

Thanks, Vicky, and congratulations to you!
What ought to bring us relief in these distressing times is the sanctuary of one's home. But NO! OMG I feel the pain of the poor residents (and a dog) who live in a block under endless construction siege. Wonderful story-telling by @DavidMargolick

Thanks so much, Walter.
Trollope wrote a 1875 novel called, "The Way We Live Now." This perfect-pitch piece on "super-gentrification"by @DavidMargolick is the Manhattan version for 2019.

Very kind of you, Alex. Thanks.
@DavidMargolick David, your story is a masterpiece. Incredible reporting and just a great timeless piece of New York City writing as well. Sending my best.
