NY’s Mayor is bringing back a plainclothes unit that was disbanded in 2020 to fight an uptick in crime.
“The composition of that unit is going to matter,” @RitchieTorres warns. “You put the wrong officers in that unit, you can do more harm than good, as we’ve seen in the past.”

President Biden's surprising journey from political moderate to big spender is at a crossroads.
“Is he going to abandon the FDR ambitions?” asks @anandwrites, “Or will he muster the kind of fight he hasn’t yet for his agenda, especially ahead of the midterms?”
