Y’all talked too much about the TN-7 race, turned it high salience, juiced turnout, and wrecked Dems’ chances of sneaking in a win.

If you'd like some good news on AI, the last few weeks have seen execs across multiple industries strive to hide AI usage labeling on their products because, as many of us have said FOR YEARS, the audience that *doesn't* want AI is substantial and we will reject your product whole hog for using it.

The immediate and overwhelming community response that thwarted an ICE raid yesterday will be commonplace in NYC.
At HandsOffNYC.com we’re ensuring it by preparing New Yorkers borough by borough—block by block—on how to nonviolently respond to the unwarranted and unlawful terror ICE imposes on us.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.
A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

Like the Special Counsel’s case, this case was dismissed because Trump is the President, not the facts of the case.
Accountability shouldn’t depend on politics or timing. Americans deserve a justice system that does not bend to a President who tried to overturn a free and fair election.

While I’m glad Commissioner Tisch let Ricky Patel (Special Agent in Charge at HSI) know that she’s not happy with their raids, I’m disturbed by footage of NYPD officers clearing the way for ICE vehicles. It’s a violation of our sanctuary city law to facilitate deportations.

Today’s confrontation didn't protect a single person but instead unnecessarily put New Yorkers, federal agents, and NYPD in harm’s way.
Make no mistake: any chaos and violence in NYC involving ICE is instigated by ICE.
