Andrew Harnik/Getty Former US Representative Billy Long of Missouri was confirmed on Thursday to lead the Internal Revenue Service, giving the beleaguered agency he once sought to abolish a permanent commissioner after months of acting leaders and massive staffing cuts that have threatened to derail next year's tax filing season. The Senate confirmed Long on a 53-44 vote despite Democrats' concerns about the Republican's past work for a firm that pitched a fraud-ridden coronavirus pandemic-era tax break and about campaign contributions he received after President Trump nominated him to serve as IRS commissioner. While in Congress, where he served from 2011 to 2023, Long sponsored legislation to get rid of the IRS, the agency he is now tasked with leading. A former auctioneer, Long has no background in tax administration. Long will take over an IRS undergoing massive change, including layoffs and voluntary retirements of tens of thousands of workers and accusations that then-Trump adviser Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency mishandled sensitive taxpayer data. Unions and advocacy organizations have sued to block DOGE's access to the information. The IRS was one of the highest-profile agencies still without a Senate-confirmed leader. Before Long's confirmation, the IRS shuffled through four acting leaders, including one who resigned over a deal between the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security to share immigrants' tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and another whose appointment led to a fight between Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. — ASSOCIATED PRESS RETAIL GameStop's future is in trading cards, CEO says A GameStop store in New York City. Michael M. Santiago/Getty GameStop Corp., the largest standalone video game retailer in the United States, will focus on growing its trading card business, chief executive Ryan Cohen said at the company's annual shareholder meeting Thursday.

At GameStop, collectors can sell rare cards for cash based on their quality. As of May, customers have brought one million trading cards in to a GameStop to be evaluated under the Professional Sports Authenticator system, which grades the cards. More than 1,360 GameStop stores offer that service, according to a company spokesperson. In June, GameStop will add 280 more. The most submitted cards are Pokémon.

Eric Thayer/Bloomberg US filings for jobless benefits were unchanged last week, remaining at the higher end of recent ranges as uncertainty over the impact of trade wars lingers. New applications for jobless benefits numbered 248,000 for the week ending June 7, the Labor Department said Thursday. Analysts had forecast 244,000 new applications. A week ago, there were 248,000 jobless claim applications, which was the most since early October and a sign that layoffs could be trending higher. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered representative of US layoffs and have mostly bounced around a historically healthy range between 200,000 and 250,000 since COVID-19 throttled the economy five years ago, wiping out millions of jobs. However, in the past three weeks layoffs have been at the higher end of that range, raising some concern from analysts. — ASSOCIATED PRESS Advertisement LEGAL Tesla sues ex-Optimus engineer alleging theft of robotic trade secrets A Tesla Inc. Optimus robot at the Paris Motor Show. Nathan Laine/Bloomberg Tesla Inc. sued a former engineer with the company's highly secretive Optimus program, accusing him of stealing confidential information about the humanoid robot and setting up a rival startup in Silicon Valley. Zhongjie 'Jay' Li worked at Tesla between August 2022 and September 2024, according to a complaint filed in a San Francisco Federal Court late Wednesday. Li worked on 'advanced robotic hand sensors — and was entrusted with some of the most sensitive technical data in the program,' Tesla's lawyers said in the complaint. The suit, also filed against his company Proception Inc, alleges that in the weeks before his departure, Li downloaded Optimus-related files onto two personal smartphones and then formed his own firm. 'Less than a week after he left Tesla, Proception was incorporated,' according to the complaint. 'And within just five months, Proception publicly claimed to have 'successfully built' advanced humanoid robotic hands — hands that bear a striking resemblance to the designs Li worked on at Tesla.' Li, who lists himself as founder and CEO of Proception on LinkedIn, didn't respond to requests for comment sent outside of normal working hours on the platform. The company didn't immediately respond to an emailed message seeking comment or message sent through its website. Proception is based in Palo Alto, Calif. — BLOOMBERG NEWS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Mattel taps OpenAI to help it design toys, other products Barbie Dream Besties, from Mattel, displayed at the TTPM 2024 Holiday Showcase event in New York. Richard Drew/Associated Press Polly Pocket may one day be your digital assistant. Mattel Inc., the maker of Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels cars, has signed a deal with OpenAI to use its artificial intelligence tools to design and in some cases power toys and other products ​based on its brands. The collaboration is at an early stage, and its first release won't be announced until later this year, Brad Lightcap, OpenAI's chief operating officer, and Josh Silverman, Mattel's chief franchise officer, said in a joint interview. The technology could ultimately result in the creation of digital assistants based on Mattel characters, or be used to make toys and games like the Magic 8 Ball or Uno even more interactive. 'We plan to announce something towards the tail end of this year, and it's really across the spectrum of physical products and some experiences,' Silverman said, declining to comment further on the first product. 'Leveraging this incredible technology is going to allow us to really reimagine the future of play.' — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement

Experts Issue Urgent Warning After Massive AT&T Data Leak Resurfaces

AT&T customers are being warned to act fast after a trove of stolen data, containing up to 86 million customer records, resurfaced on cybercrime forums this week. According to McAfee security experts, the leak includes personal details that could easily lead to identity theft. The database was originally stolen in a 2024 breach but had not been widely published until now. Researchers say Russian hackers appear to be selling the data on underground forums, and cybercriminals now have access to email addresses, phone numbers, and, most alarmingly, nearly 44 million Social Security numbers. 'If you're an AT&T customer, now's the time to take action,' warned Jasdev Dhaliwal of McAfee. 'This data is already circulating, and it contains everything criminals need to impersonate you—your SSN, name, phone number, and more.' Newsweek reported that cybersecurity expert Steve Weisman echoed that concern, adding that once your Social Security number is out, the best defense is to get an IRS-issued PIN to prevent fraudulent tax filings. AT&T responded by saying this is not a new breach. "After analysis by our internal teams as well as external data consultants, we are confident this is repackaged data previously released on the dark web in March 2024," the company said in a statement. AT&T added that all affected customers had already been notified last year and that law enforcement is involved in the latest development. But with the data making headlines again, and being actively sold, experts urge customers not to assume they're safe. They recommend checking your credit reports, freezing your credit if needed, and updating your AT&T account password. The exposed data could be used in phishing scams, loan fraud, or even to file false tax returns. Bottom line: even if this isn't a brand-new breach, the damage is far from over. And if your identity is part of the leak, ignoring it now could cost you Issue Urgent Warning After Massive AT&T Data Leak Resurfaces first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 12, 2025
