For the past 9 months, I've been investigating Andrew Tate's empire of sexual exploitation — drawing on thousands of private messages and sealed court files, as well as interviews with the Tates, their associates & more than a dozen alleged victims. Here's what I found: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

EXCLUSIVE | Gregory Bovino is gearing up for a 2028 presidential bid with a team of political outcasts from MAGA’s far right leading the charge, including one aide who was arrested on meth possession charges two weeks ago. thedailybeast.com/border-patrol-…

EXCLUSIVE | Before a top Trump-appointed counterterrorism official was ousted for allegedly appearing on a sugar daddy website, she had filed a sexual harassment complaint against her superior—and all he got was a promotion. thedailybeast.com/sugar-baby-jul…

@aakashgupta @KatieMiller are you reposting this because he's a known associate of Kristi Noem 👀

The head of US cybersecurity just demonstrated exactly why every company blocks ChatGPT by default. DHS built an internal AI tool called DHSChat specifically designed to keep sensitive data inside federal networks. ChatGPT was blocked department-wide. Gottumukkala requested a special exception anyway. He got it. Then he uploaded documents marked “for official use only” until automated alerts started firing. One official summarized it: “He forced CISA’s hand into making them give him ChatGPT, and then he abused it.” This is the pattern playing out across every enterprise right now. Executives demand access to the shiny consumer tool. IT builds a secure alternative. Leadership bypasses it. Data leaks. Samsung banned ChatGPT after engineers uploaded source code. Amazon warned employees after finding internal data in ChatGPT outputs. Apple, JPMorgan, Verizon, Deutsche Bank all blocked it. The lesson keeps repeating: the people with the most access to sensitive information are the ones most likely to bypass controls, because they assume the rules exist for everyone else. Public ChatGPT sends everything you upload to OpenAI. That data can train future models. It can surface in responses to other users. 800 million people use ChatGPT. Your “for official use only” document is now part of that pool. Enterprise AI policies exist because convenience always beats security until something breaks.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.
