Read @danarubinstein on Brad Lander, the left-leaning NYC mayoral hopeful running as the anti-Cuomo: “I am a decent person. Let’s just start there.” There's so much packed in this piece, including why Lander has struggled to rise in a crowded field >> https://t.co/keKy9gY1FC

Fairly extraordinary for "60 Minutes" to call out Paramount, its corporate owner, at the close of Sunday's episode. The sentiment – that EP Bill Owens "lost the independence that honest journalism requires" – was in Owens's memo, but now millions of viewers will hear it.

.@NYCMayor's team refused to tell multiple outlets where he & Trump DOT head Duffy would hold a presser today after their subway ride. We found out anyway, and I asked Duffy if he still considers the subways a "shithole." "Some would say," he replied before getting in a car.
