  • The 270+ Election Day Special: Our Democracy Has a Russia Problem (with Gal Suburban)
    Nov 1 2024

    It’s been just over 100 days since Kamala Harris officially replaced Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, but it feels like an eternity. With just four days until the most consequential presidential election since 1860, Greg Olear talks to OSINT researcher ne plus ultra Gal Suburban about what to expect on Election Day–and, more ominously, what schemes may come in the weeks after the election is decided.

    Among the topics discussed: Elon Musk, Mike Flynn, JD Vance, Maria Butina, and more. Plus: a MAGA voting PSA.

In 2024, Tom collaborated with advocacy groups and legislative leaders on the California AI Transparency Act.

    In this conversation with Greg Olear, Tom Kemp discusses the implications of Elon Musk’s actions in the political landscape, the significance of the Delete Act for data privacy, the complexities of AI technology, and the current state of antitrust actions against big tech companies.
