This was an obvious security risk
People mocking Jensen Huang’s wife for her looks are missing the point. Lori met Jensen when he was a broke engineering student, married him before NVIDIA even existed, and stood by him for 40 years as he built his empire. She was faithful and loyal. Even if the mistress was more attractive, Jensen was a scumbag for betraying his wife and kids.

Thankful that this vile woman no longer represents St. Louis. Cori Bush has registered as a foreign agent for a shadowy European NGO to lead "fact-finding" missions to the West Bank—part of a seemingly elaborate propaganda campaign against Israel. freebeacon.com/democrats/squ…

If you believe campaign contributions determine elections and buy politicians, this election should be a wake up call. No denying the enormous influence of money, but so many people and organizations contribute to each one and create many contradictions to the simple belief.
There's a lot to focus on right now, but "The richest man to ever live just spent $200 million to support the Republican Senate candidate in Texas, and his man lost by double-digits in a statewide wipeout" is a completely insane sentence. Put another way, the most expensive US Senate race before 2020 was $200 million. *One guy* spent that amount in Texas, and it doesn't seem to have made any difference. It might have hurt in a kind of Streisand effect way, in that the spending level was seen as obscene to people sympathetic to the argument that billionaires shouldn't "buy" elections. The implications here seem pretty interesting! Especially re the limits of billionaire political power and/or the diminishing returns of money in politics.

The right wing political influencer wars may look like a blame game following a generational loss but really it's just a fight over market share ahead of the next paid campaign. No one has learned anything and no one will.
