No one on the Supreme Court should be able to take a billionaire’s money.
Clarence Thomas did it for 20 years.
Impeach him. Repost if you agree. 👇

It's a good question--one we've been asking for a decade now--but there needs to be a "and what are we going to do about it?" call to action. We all know. We all wonder why. But acting on it is most important. Tell your new Congress to kick the KGB out of the Oval Office.
Billboards reading "WHY IS TRUMP SELLING OUT AMERICA TO PUTIN?" have been spotted in Illinois, Atlanta, and Florida.
The message and imagery are directly linked to recent geopolitical decisions that have drawn significant backlash from critics, including Ukrainian-American and Eastern European communities.
Reportedly the organization behind the campaign is called Home of the Brave. It has also produced a video ad and launched a dedicated website titled "Why Is Trump Selling Out America to Putin?" You can visit the website here: whyputinfirst.org
The organization also published an article explaining the reasoning behind the campaign:

I don't know much about this organization or where else these billboards have appeared. If you have any additional information, please share it in the comments!

"You don’t get to turn a blind eye to cops being punched, speared, sprayed, and brutalized and call yourself a friend of law enforcement. What Trump did on January 6, 2021, should never be forgotten. It should follow him to his grave." -- @JoeBiden:

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jamie Raskin just went on live TV and made clear that it is REPUBLICANS who have turned the government into an apparatus of retribution. Every time Republicans scream about RETRIBUTION, it's an admission. Make sure every American sees this.

Yes, this is a sensational story, but put the tabloids aside for a second.
Donald Trump is selling America’s security to our foreign adversaries.
In the spring, Marco Rubio warned senior Trump officials that Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, was involved with a woman U.S. intelligence believed was a Chinese spy, recruited to push for American advanced chips to be made available in China — the exact policy that Jensen Huang was lobbying for in Washington.
Meanwhile, Trump has purchased roughly $6 million in Nvidia stock this year, including a $1 million purchase just a week before Trump’s commerce department approved selling Nvidia chips to China.
So the questions are simple. Who in the Trump Administration knew? When did they know it? And knowing it, why did they keep letting Huang make his case?
This is why an ethics bill that only covers Congress does not meet the moment. The conflicts aren’t confined to one branch. They run through the executive, they run through the agencies writing export rules, and they run through anyone with a financial stake in policy outcomes.
For all three branches of government: ban stock trading; ban prediction markets; ban the foreign gifts and investments, while you serve and for two years after. No exceptions.
America’s security and economic future can no longer afford the pay to play rules that Trump’s Washington runs on today.

Great reporting by @nytimes. The US Commerce Dept was approving sales of Nvidia chips to companies in China which either did not exist, were on the sanctions list, and/or had ties to China's military. A brief visit by journalists in China found that two of the offices were just empty shells.
Was Jensen Huang a "victim" of a honey trap or was he just trying to make as much money as possible? Was his $25 million donation to Trump's ballroom the price of pay to play? In the US - China tech competition, has the Commerce Dept been co-opted by other interests? Here is a gift article which raises deeply troubling questions.

In response to the rising cost of beef, Senator Hyde-Smith urged Mississippians to "pick a new protein."
It's looking like they chose to pick a new Senator instead.

Todd Blanche actually said that he was not going to release any depiction of death or torture in the Epstein files which means he has seen evidence of death and torture for that alone. He needs to be impeached.

A strong pro-Ukraine post election wind at our back, we must push right away to impose sanctions waived by Trump, stop his despicable diesel deal, provide military aid, particularly air defense—& other measures to show support necessary to bring Putin to serious peace talks. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

This morning, the Russians attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue operations have been underway for seven days following an aerial bomb strike that killed 55 people. Unfortunately, more people may still be under the rubble. Absolute cynicism and brutality. There was also an overnight attack on the Dnipro region – the Russians struck energy infrastructure, leaving more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the region without power. In the Kharkiv region, the situation is difficult too. There are widespread power outages across the country. In the Zhytomyr region alone, 140 apartment buildings were left without heating following a Russian strike. Repair work is underway in virtually every affected city and community. I thank the energy workers, utility workers, and every repair crew who are literally working 24/7 to restore water, electricity, and heating supplies to people.
In total, this past week alone, Russia has launched 115 missiles of various types, nearly 1,900 guided aerial bombs, and more than 3,000 attack drones against our cities and communities. These are combined strikes involving many ballistic missiles. And a significant portion of the missiles were manufactured this year. We constantly provide our partners with information about Russian enterprises involved in ballistic missile production. In October, Ukraine imposed major sanctions packages on the individuals and legal entities involved. It is very important that they be synchronized across Europe and G7 jurisdictions. If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic capabilities to protect Ukrainian skies, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines. We count on a strong 22nd EU sanctions package. Thank you to all partners who are truly helping.

Hillary Clinton calls for a review of Elon Musk's government contracts: "His money is made largely through government contracts. That's part of what has to be done legislatively and through investigations. We need laws that tighten the rules on what people can get from the government."

⚡️Ukrainian forces reportedly strike Russia's second-largest oil refinery in overnight drone attack.
The attack caused large explosions at the Kirishi Petroleum Organic Synthesis plant, also known as the Kinef plant, around 800 kilometers (roughly 500 miles) north of Ukraine.

The story keeps getting crazier. To recap everything that has been reported so far:
- The US intelligence community discovered that Jensen Huang, the CEO of the largest company in the world, was sleeping with Alice Huang, a Chinese spy and an executive at Megaspeed. (FT)
- Multiple independent investigations have concluded that Megaspeed is likely a Chinese cutout, which helps Chinese companies access AI chips or circumvent export controls. (NYT and Bloomberg)
- The US intelligence community also concluded that Alice Huang’s goal was to convince Jensen to lobby the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced AI chips. (NYT)
- The intelligence community relayed this information to “a small group of top US government officials” earlier this year. (FT)
- Over the last year, Jensen Huang has repeatedly lobbied the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced chips. @BISgov has done so, not only by permitting the export of H200 chips to China, but also not enforcing export controls that would have required a license for exports of the most advanced Blackwell chips to Megaspeed and Southeast Asia.
- Although @CommerceGov leadership was presumably briefed on this information by the U.S. intelligence community, @BISgov has taken no actions to tighten controls on Megaspeed or Southeast Asia.
- Megaspeed remains a preferred cloud partner of Nvidia, and continues to receive Nvidia Blackwell chips despite employing a Chinese spy who reportedly is romantically engaged with the CEO of Nvidia.
- Tens of billions of dollars worth of AI chips have been exported to Southeast Asia this year alone, and Malaysia and Singapore are now two of the four largest importers of AI chips in the world.
What is going on here??? We need answers. The question of who gets the most advanced AI chips in the world is literally the defining strategic question of our time. And not only does it seem like the MSS may be directly influencing the debate on export controls in the United States, but also @CommerceGov is refusing to listen to the warnings of the IC on this issue. What is a POSSIBLE good explanation for why Megaspeed is still receiving chips? Why is there not a license requirement for AI chip shipments to all of Southeast Asia? This is beyond strange at this point.
The fallout from this story will be massive. Obviously, the motivations underpinning Nvidia’s policy views opposing export controls must now all be questioned. But also, how did @BISgov sit on this information and has still taken no actions? We need answers.
US intelligence agencies believe @Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had romantic relationship with alleged Chinese spy
