I spend my days inside fraud networks most Americans never see — dark web forums, Telegram channels and marketplaces where stolen identities are bought and sold like commodities. I study them because understanding how these systems work is the only way to stay ahead of them. What I’m seeing right now should concern every American. Iran, North Korea, Russia and China are not just conducting cyberattacks against the United States. They are running coordinated financial fraud operations inside our system — deliberately, systematically and in ways our defenses were never designed to detect. This isn’t ordinary crime . It’s statecraft. ALARMING RISE OF FAKE LEGAL REQUESTS: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR PRIVACY While policymakers rightly focus on Iranian cyber threats to power grids and water systems, a quieter operation is already underway, and this is one that reaches directly into the U.S. financial system using the same tools as everyday fraudsters. Iran has spent decades building what ...

Everybody knew about the tragic auto accident and the follow-up a year later, but when it came to Rueben Bain’s draft status, people said, "No worries." His arms are short, but he’s really good, so the refrain remained: "No worries." Why then did Rueben Bain slide to the middle of the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday? Whoever said neither issue would cause Bain to fall out of the Top 10 was obviously wrong. He fell to the No. 15 overall selection held by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . TRAVIS HUNTER GETS REAL ON HIS AND SHEDEUR SANDERS' NFL FUTURES: 'WE JUST GOING TO WORK' And judging by Bain's demeanor during his post-draft interview on ESPN , he wasn't thrilled about it. "I know I'm the best in the country , I'm sure," an unsmiling Bain told ESPN's Laura Rutledge after his selection. "That's how I think of myself. "I'm telling you I can do anything I put my mind to because of my mindset. I kn...

Senate Republicans pushed their immigration funding plan forward early Thursday, adopting a budget blueprint after an all-night vote series that sets up billions for ICE and Border Patrol while sidelining Democrats. Senate Republicans adopted their budget resolution, which tees up funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, and effectively cuts congressional Democrats out of the process entirely. It’s the first major step toward unlocking the budget reconciliation process, which Republicans are diving into once again after Democrats refused to fund ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) without stringent reforms. Despite Republicans largely being on the same page on the approach, Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voted against the budget blueprint. SENATE GOP LAUNCHES ALL-NIGHT VOTE-A-RAMA TO FUND ICE, BORDER PATROL THROUGH END OF TRUMP'S TERM Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., panned Republicans for moving to ...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday to push for wildfire relief funding, marking a rare moment of cooperation after months of clashes. Bass shared a photo on X showing her and Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger meeting with Trump and senior administration officials in the Oval Office. Bass and Barger said the meeting included a "positive discussion" about Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) funding and rebuilding efforts following last year’s Palisades and Eaton fires. "This afternoon we met with President Trump and Administration officials to advocate for families who lost everything," they said in a joint statement. "We had a very positive discussion about FEMA and other rebuilding funds as well as the support of the President to continue joining us in pressuring the insurance companies to pay what they owe – and for the big banks to step up to ease the financial pressure on L.A. ...
