There's no shortage of commonsense ideas to give job creators relief, but President Trump just highlighted one of the most important: Stop credit-card companies from ripping off Main Street.

Usually, the panel section of a black-tie awards dinner is the least lively part of the evening. Honorees praise and agree with each other, soundtracked by the clinks of forks as guests cautiously push salad around their plates. Not so at RealClear's third Samizdat Awards, AKA the Sammies, which took place at the Breakers in Palm Beach Wednesday.

In a viral essay on X, "Something Big Is Happening," Matt Shumer writes that the world is living through a moment similar to early Covid for artificial intelligence. The founder and CEO of OthersideAI argues that AI has crossed from useful assistant to general cognitive substitute. What's more, AI is now helping build better versions of itself. Systems rivaling most human expertise could arrive soon.

Six weeks into his tenure, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been confronted with controversies both grave and frivolous. He wisely stood by a top appointee who was facing down a media circus for tweets that were more than a half-decade old.
