Coming up on today's show:

  • Shawna Thomas, VICE News Washington bureau chief discusses the latest political news out of Washington.
  • Brigid Bergin, WNYC's City Hall and politics reporter, and Ben Max, executive editor of Gotham Gazette and co-host of the Max &
    Murphy podcast, talk about what de Blasio's presidential bid means for NYC. Plus, the latest on city budget negotiations and the feedback deadline for the Charter Review Commission.
  • Adam Gopnik, staff writer for The New Yorker, and author of A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism (Basic Books, 2019), argues that "liberalism" is not a political ideology, but a way of life.
