Trump owns stock in the company and the company gave millions for his dopey ballroom. National security never once entered the equation,
"The president’s advisers said he was blasé about the national security implications when told of the intelligence community assessments related to Mr. Huang. One aide said that Trump saw the episode mainly through the lens of adultery" nytimes.com/2026/11/12/us/po…

Coons: "Jensen Huang gave I think $26m to the Trump administration that's publicly known. If the Trump administration was in bed with Nvidia, and the CEO was in bed with a Chinese spy, and that has real consequences for our national security, I think that's something well worth investigation."

Recent experience suggests, don’t take the denial at face value. Same with the US administration. The denials come before everything else.
SpaceX has responded to allegations of throttling Starshield in Ukraine, "This is false. There has been no change."

The award for "citizen journalist" of the year goes to a woman who was secretly working for the Pentagon doing god knows what (it's still not clear!) and apparently never planned to tell anyone
The People’s choice award for Citizen Journalist of the Year goes to @DataRepublican!

I feel like Howard Lutnick’s family corruption has skated under the radar. That is probably ending now.
Reupping this piece I wrote. It’s the Trumps (including Jared), the Lutnicks and the Witkoffs. So many overlapping arrangements where the sons profit directly from Dad’s govt decision making.

Folks. We are playing with fire.
Bird flu is a very bad disease
Allowing it to spread unchecked among cows and increasingly people is a very bad idea
We need both @USDA and @CDCgov to take this seriously and act now

Stunning footage: A Ukrainian soldier, mustering his last ounce of strength, drags his wounded comrade toward a StarGate drone to airlift him to a medical station.
The soldier suffered severe injuries to his arm and leg after being struck by an enemy FPV drone, leaving him unable to move on his own. He is now in the hospital.
The operation was carried out by the 475th Special Forces Unit “Code 9.2.” This is the sixth soldier to be rescued using StarGate. The drone was developed by the Ukrainian company SkyFall to evacuate the wounded by air from positions that cannot be reached by land.

NEW:
Last month, Semafor reported that Bari Weiss tasked the CBS investigative unit to pursue a story linking Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood.
I've learned the piece that was filed sparked a fight with CBS standards and practices, who didn't want to run it.

Again, whether it's $350 billion, $35 billion, or $3.5 billion, is anyone in the press going to ask "how will you pay for this?" or is that only a rule that applies when Democrats want to enact legislation 🤔

You kinda have to conclude the Republican Party is a really shit institution. In the first place, it couldn't resist a takeover by a scammy political adventurer, and then, when it accommodated him, it couldn't organize itself to be a consistent vehicle for his project.

Trump is saving his ass by throwing Lutnick to the curb. Trump is knee deep in INVIDIA spy scandal himself. Trump was aware along with Lutnick, but did he participate in any money exchanges? Did trump profit from this breach of our national security?

Senator Blumenthal answered Aaron Reitz’s demand to preserve documents with a preservation demand of his own.
There is so much to investigate. Like why was Meta manipulating its feeds to benefit Bolsonaro in Brazil? Did the order come from Trump?
Leaked details revealed that Meta’s employees confirmed internal manipulations tilting the digital field in Bolsonaro’s favor, benefiting his conservative political movement in Brazil, writes Binaifer Nowrojee. foreignpolicy.com/2026/11/11…

We really need to get to the bottom of just how compromised Elon Musk is by Russia.
President Zelensky says U.S. restrictions on Ukraine’s Starshield connectivity remain in place, limiting speeds to 100 mph along the entire front line.
The restrictions are preventing Ukraine from using interceptor drones against jet-powered Russian Shaheds.
“We still have no clear explanations,” Zelensky said.
