What is Trump Doing With Our Private Data?

Friends, I don’t mean to intrude on your Saturday but I wanted you to watch this replay of my Live with my good friend Denver Riggleman, because it’s important.Here’s what you need to know about Denver: he is a former Republican member of Congress from Virginia who left the party (or maybe the party left him). He is a former military intelligence officer and served as an advisor to the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He and his wife run a great Bourbon distillery. He spends lots of time helping Ukraine defend itself against its genocidal Russian neighbor. He is also a cybersecurity expert who thinks deeply about how data is manipulated, which is what I wanted to talk to him about. What is happening to our personal information, courtesy of the Trump Administration but also because of advances in AI, is terrifying. With everything else happening these days, we can’t lose sight of the fact that DOGE downloaded reams of our data for a reason. In the coming weeks, Denver and I are going to host a Live dedicated to ways we can all do a better job protecting our personal information. I hope you’ll check out the video above and join us for that chat next month, once it’s scheduled. Stay Salty!Julie This is a public episode.
