It’s a shame that Mamdani won't join his fellow New Yorkers who will march to celebrate the blue and white and the stars and stripes.

The question of AI is animating West Wing corridors as well as the Vatican’s throne rooms. This week President Trump delayed a new AI executive order at the 11th hour, apparently concerned about competitiveness.
