MTA wants AI to flag 'problematic behavior' in NYC subways The transit agency's head of security said the technology could be used to help prevent crimes before they happen.

How about instead you make it to where the subway works. gothamist.com/news/mta-wan...

Where did the pronunciation of "hundred" as "hundrit" come from.

The tariff pause came in exchange for literally nothing.

This is goofy but also Oliver Stone's batshit movie implicated practically everyone who was alive in 1963 in the assassination of JFK.

From me yesterday looks at the so-called "dirty 15" nations who will be singled out for "reciprocal" tariffs. Some nice data viz in it for those who celebrate: www.housingwire.com/articles/tru...

After the Schumer fallout, the skyrocketing anger among the D base, and the increasingly fierce protests at town halls and Tesla showrooms, it's totally amazing to me that he thinks breaking bread with MAGA influencers will do anything but put a target on his back among his own voters.

What went wrong at Redfin? Redfin launched with the goal of redefining the real estate industry, but its signature innovation may have contributed to its recent sale.

My latest is a dive into Redfin data to see how the brokerage went from innovative upstart to a blockbuster sale to Rocket Mortgage. www.housingwire.com/articles/wha...

https://www.housingwire.com/articles/trump-floats-canadian-lumber-tariffs-homebuilders-nahb/

Today Donald Trump threatened Canada with a "reciprocal" tariff on Canadian lumber imports. The rub? Canada does not appear to have a tariff on U.S. lumber, meaning what Trump is threatening is to remove an existing 14.5% tariff on Canadian lumber. Whoopsie! t.co/rGFwCe5I57

A more convincing rebuttal to this "issue" is that it's imaginary. Estimates suggest the number of transgender people playing public school sports is less than 100, and not all of those are M to F. It says a lot about those who fixate on this, and Matty Y demonstrates intolerance beyond sports.

April 2 is shaping up to be a pretty dramatic day: "At the national level, Canada put counter-tariffs on C$30 billion ($21 billion) of US products and announced a second phase that would hit another C$125 billion. The latter has now been delayed until April 2."

Trump Tariffs on Canada Mean New Fees for Alaska-Bound Trucks British Columbia will introduce legislation letting it charge tolls on commercial vehicles heading to Alaska in retaliation against President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The next stage of this is how do Canada and Mexico respond. At some point just the back-and-forth of it will result in retaliation. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump grants tariff delay on most Mexican building materials President Trump said that tariffs on Mexican goods that fall under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement will be delayed until April 2.

Trump has delayed Mexican tariffs that apply to goods in the USMCA, which is the NAFTA replacement he implemented in 2020. So he's effectively paused a cancellation of his own trade agreement. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ From me: www.housingwire.com/articles/tar...

Trump ends Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is eliminating an Obama-era rule that became a lightning rod during the 2020 election.

Trump has accused the AFFH rule of "destroying the suburbs," a claim that dates back to 2020. In reality, the rule just requires some people to fill out a questionnaire. It has literally no impact on anything. I explain here:

The tweet-storming billionaire has better ideas than actual Democrats in that he actually has an idea (and a compelling one).
