I’m a huge fan of the niche @brendanruberry is carving out as Semafor’s Strange New York Characters reporter. This is a great follow up to the wrong de Blasio saga.
NEW: I spent St. Patrick's Day with the New York Post, as we hunted for the oldest pothole in the city -- and, in the process, the answer to an existential question: What kind of journalism, and journalists, will survive the age of AI?

Do tweets like this violate the Hatch Act?
THREE HOUR LINES IN HOUSTON. Travelers at George Bush Intercontinental Airport are being forced to wait in lines that stretch across THREE floors — wrapping around 4 terminals and starting at the basement level. Democrats must END this chaos and fund DHS.
