What surprised you most about Tuesday's Blue Tsunami? This Sunday, Sree and I will dedicate Ep. 416 of The Sunday #NYTReadalong to reviewing the election results and discussing what they mean for the rest of Trump's presidency, the 2028 presidential election and beyond.

This Sunday, just two days before Election Day, Sree and Neil are dedicating Ep. 415 of The Sunday #NYTReadalong to a preview of the 2026 midterm elections. What's at stake? What issues are driving voters? What are the polls telling us, and what should we be watching as Americans head to the polls on Tuesday?

This week, Sree and I will discuss how AI might shape the 2026 midterm elections; Vivek Ramaswamy's vile attack ad in the Ohio governor's race; and the latest coverage of The New York Times' 175th anniversary.

This week, Sree and I will discuss the toll of mass shootings, including the recent tragedies in Bend, Oregon, and Erie, Pennsylvania; and Katie Zacharia’s short and rocky tenure as White House press secretary. We will also review the latest in The New York Times’ 175th anniversary coverage.

This week, Sree and I turn our attention to Cornell’s response to a student’s rape allegation, and the intense backlash they deserved and the latest AI developments. We also continue our look at 175 years of The New York Times. We have Gift Links and PDFs.

The New York Times is celebrating 175 years of delivering “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” Over the next several months, the Times is publishing several features, an issue of The New York Times Magazine and a special section. We will provide the 411 starting with Episode 411 of The Sunday #NYTReadalong. This will be the first of several episodes devoted to #NYT175.

Neeraj Kaushal, author of the new book “When Africa Comes to America: How the Next Wave of Immigrants Will Transform the United States,” will join me and Sree Sreenivasan as our guest for Ep. 410 of The Sunday #NYTReadalong.

Twenty-five years after September 11, Steffen A. Kaplan joins me as Guest Co-Host for a special episode of The Sunday #NYTReadalong. Steffen was working as a photo editor at The New York Times on September 11, 2001, and was at ground zero. I was living in Seattle, nearly 3,000 miles away from New York. The New York Times published a special section commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11 featuring a lead article by former #NYTReadalong guest Dan Barry.

Sree and I are taking Labor Day Sunday off. Even though we need the break, it's challenging because there's so much we want to share and discuss: Gloria Steinem, Nobel Peace Conference, Labor Day / Unions.

Mary C. Curtis joins me as a Guest Co-Host for The Sunday #NYTReadalong. We'll offer a remembrance of Dolly Parton; talk about Meta's $17.1 Billion Settlement and talk about the March on Washington (1963 and 2026).
