Over a year ago I met an Anthropic employee at a conference and at one point she mentioned that one of the things she was working on was whether or not it was cruel to ever turn off an AI model. I thought she was joking. She was not.

MAGA's Petit Trianon? Katie and Stephen Miller's House on a Military Base
In a secluded bubble away from the city, Stephen Miller's wife treats Washington's most powerful to custom cakes, live donkeys, and sake-squirting hibachi chefs. "I can't fucking stand her," says one ally. "But if she asks you to go on the podcast, or come over for dinner, you say yes, because Stephen Miller is the second-most powerful person in the world."

fun fact: Mamdani's office personally approves all deployments of the SRG, a fascist militarized NYPD unit. Which implies every instance of SRG brutality against ICE protestors etc has been directly at his approval. "He can't control NYPD" my ass. Is Politico just making shit up?

New: Since early 2026, Mamdani has required the NYPD to seek his office's approval before deploying its Strategic Response Group to do arrests.

While it's a significant oversight for Mamdani to exert, the policy's existence is politically awkward for him.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
