WASHINGTON — I live for the polls. I have one piece of advice for the coming weeks. “Please stop.”It’s not that the polls are broken. Despite many criticisms, the survey continues to provide surprisingly accurate results and important insights into what different voter groups are thinking.But most of the people who obsessively click on the latest latest survey aren’t looking for that. What they want to know — and if you’re reading this, you probably want to know — is the one answer that a close poll can’t provide: Who will win?Democratic Party’s anxiety goes out of controlFor the past…

CNN  —  Former President Donald Trump vows he’ll kick millions of undocumented immigrants out of the US if he’s reelected. In the months since cheering supporters waved “mass deportation now” signs at the Republican National Convention, Trump and his surrogates have offered various visions for how they’d achieve this goal. But they’ve left no doubt that it’s a top priority. “If you’re in the country illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder,” former Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan said in July as he warned that no one would be off the table. Trump adviser Stephen Miller has touted plans for “the largest domestic…

Q: I live on the top floor of a co-op in New York City and have a small terrace. Every five years, when repair work is scheduled under Local Law 11, the contractor installs caution tape, winches, ropes, and scaffolding. The board has not been alarmed and the current repairs have dragged on for more than a year. You can’t access or enjoy parts of the apartment you’re paying to maintain.

We are all familiar with chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc. These are great for drafting emails, rewriting text, or generating images for ideas, but they don’t have much personality behind them. They are a bit like blank slates, reflecting the world around them rather than defining it. However, there is one chatbot with enough personality to complement the rest of the chatbots, and that is Character.ai.Character AI is a place where you can have chatbot conversations with Mick Jagger, Steve Jobs, and JRR Tolkien with the click of a button. Of course, these are chatbot versions of famous musicians,…

A district court judge has ruled that a Massachusetts group’s lawsuit against three federal agencies can proceed, in a rare but decisive victory for advocates of common-sense immigration reform. At issue is the Biden administration’s failure to conduct an environmental analysis required by guidelines in the National Environmental Policy Act. Starting in 2021, Biden and Harris will open the border, allowing millions of foreign nationals to enter the interior. Simply defined, federal agencies must assess the environmental impacts of their major activities.
