Скачать или смотреть Subway Flooding; Christians Push Back; Clemency Now! | The New York Times Close Up with Sam Roberts

The latest on New York City’s ongoing transit challenges, including severe subway flooding and heated debates around congestion pricing and fare-free buses. Reporter Stefanos Chen joins to break down critical transit issues, sharing insights on infrastructure, climate challenges, and bold policy proposals by mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Then, we explore a significant and rare Christian backlash against President Trump’s latest domestic policy, with communities of faith united in opposition. Times Opinion writer and podcast host Esau McCaulley discusses the moral and political implications of the bill, the use of scripture in its introduction, and the rise of Christian nationalism in American politics. Finally, law professor Steve Zeidman from CUNY's School of Law discusses the urgent need for governors to use their clemency powers to address mass incarceration. Zeidman underscores the backlog of clemency applications, the social and economic benefits of granting clemency, and how deeper reforms could address racial disparities in criminal justice.
