Cybersecurity CEO Haywood Talcove warns AI-powered fraud is already here, not coming soon. Talcove says criminal networks use generative AI to create fake identities and documents, siphoning billions from government benefit programs while overwhelming outdated defenses.
I’m a cybersecurity CEO who advises over 9,000 agencies and Sam Altman is wrong that the AI fraud crisis is coming—it’s already here
We may soon recognize a "Moore's Law"-style principle for AI that I call “Altman’s Law”: every 180 days, AI capabilities double.

It's been 5 years since Donald Trump sent a violent mob to attack our nation's Capitol. Donald Trump has done everything he can to try to rewrite the history of that day, even letting the 1500 insurrectionists, including those who senselessly beat cops, off scot-free. (1/3)

I'll never forget what it was like to be inside the Capitol complex on Jan 6th.
We didn't know if we'd make it home to our families.
For those impacted—officers, staff, service workers, journalists, members & more—we'll never stop pursuing accountability, starting with Trump.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
