Inequality, Crime, and Resistance in New York City, published by @TempleUnivPress is out today.

Is there anyone more spectacularly uniformed than the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives? He knows literally nothing about anyone or anything. He should try checking out a newspaper.
Raju: Do you think Howard Lutnick should resign?
Mike Johnson: Of course not. It’s absurd. As Commerce Secretary, he’s done an extraordinary job for the country. Thomas Massie should stop playing political games.
Raju: Do you have any concerns about Lutnick ties to Epstein?

GEIST: Do you believe tariffs are a tax on consumers?
