I read somewhere, and had the same experience, where ai is a mind-blowing game changer at first, but then you realize it’s merely a useful tool and has major limits, in part because it’s so eager to please that it can be unreliable

@Bigdaddyvinz_ @grok what scene is this?

@RMFifthCircuit The undisputed lack of feasible redevelopment is a big factual issue, and in a conclusion for the cities expert to reach. Loss of grandfathering after 50% or more damage is form language that is used in local codes nationwide, but real hardships should support variances.

In 1893, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tomatoes are vegetables for purposes of the Tariff Act of 1883 even though tomatoes are fruits rather than vegetables. At least the opinion was short, less than two pages.

@RMFifthCircuit Ouch! The intro is very quotable if you want to be a jerk. Amending the petitioner’s name is a big deal, but I don’t think cert precedent is a good comparison. Being heard on the merits initially is different than having finality through strict appellate deadlines.

Joined @Tom_Suozzi and hundreds of Long Islanders this morning to push back against the chaos in Washington. People are fed up with tariffs tanking our markets and wiping out people’s retirement savings, proposed cuts to Medicaid that would rip Long Islanders from their health care, and negligence that harms our national security.

The wrecking ball approach and hyper-partisanship isn’t serving the best interests of the American people.

I am all for cutting gov costs, then and now. I'm even more for efficiency

I would have a plan. Ready Fire Aim is not a plan.

Cutting programs without knowing if they would have saved taxpayers more than they cost, or saved lives, is a mistake

Tariffs, cutting programs, agencies and employees ALL AT ONCE, without doing an analysis of the impact on city, towns and states they impact, is going to backfire big time

Some cities have 9 pct or more of their employment as federal workers. Colleges losing millions in funding. Gov contractors and grant recipients having to close their businesses and lay off everyone.

Repeated in city after city. Town after town

What do you think the economic impact on their tax base is ? What do you think happens to home values ? What services will they have to end ?
What about the local businesses ? How many people will lose their jobs and homes because this was done ALL AT ONCE

Cut federal government bloat in an organized fashion and it's great.

Ready Fire Aim and the uncertainty it creates is a huge mistake

@AMAZlNGNATURE Whoa. I think that octopus just put a shark in a choke hold until it almost tapped out, but then let it go with an understood “stay out of my space”

Or maybe they’re friends and the octopus just gave it a big hug.

Gababentin (Neurontin) is being over prescribed and when mixed with other drugs, including opiates and anti-depressants, can be dangerous and fatal

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this.

@ElieNYC @thenation As always, a thoughtful and well written analysis, but a constitutional court curbed the power of unelected political appointees of the executive branch from defining the scope of their own authority and glomming legislative and judicial powers.

There have been 30 non-unanimous #SCOTUS rulings so far.

Of those 30, 16 have had included all three D appointees or all of the Thomas/Alito/Gorsuch bloc in dissent.

And the most common lineup, by far, has been the 6-3 split with Rs in majority and Ds in dissent (9 of the 30).
