Coming up on today's show, live from The Greene Space:

    Jonathan Lemire, White House reporter for the Associated Press and political analyst for MSNBC/NBC News, talks about the latest national political news of the day. Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood and author of Make Trouble: Standing Up, Speaking Out, and Finding the Courage to Lead (Touchstone, April 2018), talks about a life in activism and politics. "One Book, One New York" is a city-wide project where New Yorkers will read the same book at the same time. Julie Menin, the media and entertainment commissioner for New York City, and authors Jennifer Egan, Esmeralda Santiago, Imbolo Mbue, and Hari Kunzru join us in the Greene Space -- along with Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins ("Moonlight"), screenwriter for the movie adaptation of James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk, who joins us on the phone — to talk about the books New Yorkers are voting on now, to choose which book the whole city will read. Lizz Winstead, comedian, writer, co-creator of Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show," and founder of Lady Parts Justice League, offers political commentary and gives her comedic take on the news.
