BREAKING NYT: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

This week, we opened 385 new affordable homes in Brooklyn. Weโ€™ll soon grow the Innovative Urban Village to 2,000 affordable homes, child care, jobs, a grocery store and a performing arts center. Thatโ€™s what it looks like to build a city without pricing out the working class.

This is why I say that in the age of AI, it is imperative to be pro-human. Accuracy is not the measure of the value of literature. It is whether your intended audience, other humans, feel seen, recognized, moved by your work. This is what makes work human. This is not something AI can capture.

On the methodology, we should reject this kind of article immediately. Even accepting AI detection on its face, accuracy is not 100%. Without other proofs this is not investigative journalism, this is feeding the program material until you get a positive to smear. A positive that is bound to happen

@radiofreetom.bsky.social think we can get JD to talk more before the elections?

JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk. I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.'

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park โ€” the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.
