It’s a challenge to make sense of everything happening between Mayor Eric Adams and President Donald Trump right now. 

But we’re up to the task. It’s our job, after all.

On Wednesday night, four journalists from THE CITY’s newsroom sorted through the chaos around City Hall and answered reader questions in a virtual talk open to anyone trying to understate the state of things.

Our reporters came to the event fresh off the latest news: senior reporter Greg B. Smith had hours earlier come from federal court where Judge Dale Ho considered the Department of Justice’s action to drop all charges against Adams; City Hall reporter Katie Honan came straight from the mayor’s office where staffers are operating under a state of confusion; and senior reporter Gwynne Hogan, who has been closely covering the city’s migrant crisis, has been following the governor this week as she weighs how to proceed with the mayor — and cope with the Trump istration and congestion pricing.

Managing editor Rachel Holliday Smith moderated the discussion, which was informed by more than 200 great questions from our readers about the mayor, Trump and what’s next. You can watch the conversation here:
