    Chuck Schumer on Governing With (Or Without) Trump

    Warning: This episode contains strong language. Last spring, the political picture for Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, was downright bleak. President Trump was back in the White House. Schumer’s Democratic caucus was largely powerless to stop him. And restless Democratic activists were calling for Schumer to resign. Fast forward to this week. Democrats have roared back to power in both the Senate, where the party flipped seven Republican seats, and the House. And now Schumer, who personally recruited several of the winning candidates, is poised to become the next Senate majority leader with an unambiguous goal: reining in Trump. On Thursday afternoon, I visited Schumer’s office in the U.S. Capitol to talk about all of that during a 45-minute interview. In between profanity-laced descriptions of the president, Schumer laid out his plans for Senate Democrats over the next two years, including investigations into the Trump administration and legislation seeking to lower Americans’ cost of living.

    Ben Ratliff, a music critic and avid runner, always ran in silence. Then he discovered how music opened up to him — while running. It changed his entire approach to criticism and listening. He calls it “running the song.” Today, for the New York City Marathon, Ben talks with our host Rachel Abrams about how his listening sharpens when he runs to music. Then, he goes through highlights from his five-hour New York City Marathon playlist, which is designed to complement a run through the five boroughs, featuring various styles of music connected to the places on the route. On Today’s Episode Ben Ratliff, a former New York Times music critic, a music professor and the author of “Run the Song: Writing About Running About Listening.”Background Listening Ben Ratliff’s New York City Marathon playlistPhoto: Karsten Moran for The New York Times For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
