Good morning from the Hive newsroom! New York Times opinion staffers were “stunned” yesterday by editorial page editor James Bennet’s resignation, Joe Pompeo [reports](. Bennet [apologized]( to staff Friday for publishing Tom Cotton’s op-ed, which prompted a [newsroom revolt](. But after a weekend talk with publisher A.G. Sulzberger, Bennet’s exit became clear, [according to]( Pompeo, who will have more details today on the Hive. Meanwhile, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who joined protesters at a large weekend demonstration, has spoken forcefully about systemic racism and policing—and [challenged]( Donald Trump— while her counterpart in New York City, Bill de Blasio, continues to struggle with his message, Charlotte Klein [writes](. This week, Congressional Democrats will propose sweeping policing reforms, Abigail Tracy [reports](, with Nancy Pelosi emphasizing the need to move in “a very drastic way.” Still, a senior Democratic aide expressed concerns about legislation passing the Republican-controlled Senate. “Their move is to say just enough,” the aide says of the GOP, but “without ever taking meaningful action.” Thanks for reading!
