If the NYT/WSJ timelines are correct …
When Jensen Huang joined the president on Air Force One to go to China in 2025 and attended the White House state dinner with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in September, Trump had already been told that Huang was sleeping with a suspected Chinese spy, and his administration was already investigating an illegal relationship between the spy’s company and the Chinese Communist Party

Ukraine says military Starlink disrupted again as US envoys meet Putin in Moscow
bbc.com/news/articles/cwrkgm…
Exactly. So obvious, except to Trump and company who are in it for personal gain and/or beholden to Putin.
The peace talks are failing because Putin still believes he can win the war, and because Trump, Kushner and Witkoff encourage this belief. By pressuring Ukraine, not Russia, they are prolonging the conflict, which will kill more people.

Trump hates vets, gold star families, all of it, unless someone pledges undying loyalty to him.
NEW: Trump “loves” our vets. I dug into reality
At Trump's gutted VA:
Shortstaffed hospitals have stopped surgeries for heart attacks
They've stopped radiation for cancer
A vet w/ burst, gangrenous appendix couldn't get surgery bc OR was closed

I cover Mexico for The New York Times, and there is no such "invasion."
About 1,500 people recently began walking north from the southern tip of Mexico — weeks away from the United States — and very few, if any, will reach the northern border.
Over the past two years, the Mexican government has repeatedly broken up these small caravans within days of them starting. And there have been far fewer of them since Trump took office.
The reality is the number of illegal border crossings remain near historic lows.

President Trump appears to give up on any kind of official, negotiated end to the Iran war- saying he’s directing @VP to focus entirely on corruption and crime, concluding “we don’t need a deal with Iran”
🤦♂️
Trump is having a full-blown meltdown: "Here we go again! With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms - I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT- the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico. Many of the people in these Caravans are those that various countries don’t want - 'Send them to America,' they say - But they will not be accepted! MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW, and if they do not do so, the Tariffs on Mexico will be IMMEDIATELY DOUBLED. MEXICO, THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, THE VERY LIBERAL NEW GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, OUR GREAT BORDER PATROL, & ICE, HAVE BEEN SO INFORMED. There will be no leniency! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

If you listen closely to what Trump is saying here, it's clear he was made aware of the Jensen Huang scandal months ago and when he says "it didn't make much of an impact on me," that's his way of explaining that he didn't give an F.

Dear @WhiteHouse: I attended a closed-door House Foreign Affairs hearing on AI export controls last year in which Jensen Huang testified.
Would have been helpful if you told Congress that Mr. Huang was having an affair with a Chinese spy who ran a company that needed AI chips.

PabloReports: What’s your message to the Trump administration about the deported veterans?
Gallego: We’re so good when we’re in the military, when we always say we never leave a man or woman behind. You know, that includes our veterans that are serving and these are veterans that are here with legal permanent residency, green cards. But as soon as they’re out, you know, a lot of times they get in trouble because of their service-connected injury and/or PTSD, and then we just kind of discard them.
The minimum that the president could be doing right now, by executive order, is to say that we’re not going to be deporting veterans. And doing that, I think, could go a long way to kind of creating that trust that maybe there can be some work done.

Trump is losing his shit: "I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood! We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT"

The U.S. budget deficit is 2 TRILLION dollars ($2,000,000,000,000). It is fiscally illiterate and obviously absurd to claim that we are losing 2 trillion a year in “fraud.”
He claims billions are stolen every month. You’d need $5.5 billion stolen per DAY to equal 2 trillion.

Just after 8AM, a gunman opened fire at the VIDA Fitness in Logan Circle, right here in Washington, DC. At least five people were shot, the surrounding blocks were locked down, and nearby schools were put on alert.
People who walked in for a morning workout found themselves running for their lives and sheltering from gunfire. What should have been an ordinary Thursday morning became a scene none of our neighbors should ever have to carry.
This is why we do this work. Gun violence doesn’t just happen somewhere else. Today it happened down the street, and we will not accept it as normal.

"A week before the military attack, the Trump administration was already coordinating at a private ski club how to divide up the marketing of Venezuelan oil among its major campaign donors without a public bidding process."

Exclusiva de Reuters muestra el verdadero móvil de la operación militar que llevó a la captura de Maduro
La investigación reveló que una semana antes de la operación militar del 3 de enero, el vicepresidente JD Vance abordó la futura venta del crudo venezolano con un operador de la firma Vitol y megadonante de su campaña, allanando el camino para que Vitol y Trafigura recibieran sin licitación el monopolio de comercialización petrolera que ya les ha generado cientos de millones de dólares.
Registros de vuelo ubican el avión oficial de JD Vance y el jet privado de John Addison (operador de Vitol) juntos el 27 de diciembre en Bozeman, Montana, rumbo al exclusivo Yellowstone Club.
Según una fuente enterada del encuentro, Vance preguntó qué tan rápido podrían vender el crudo venezolano si EEUE tomaba el control del suministro.
Aunque Addison negociaba gasolina en EEUU y carecía de experiencia técnica en contratos internacionales de crudo, había donado 300.000 dólares a Vance en 2022 y 7 millones de dólares a comités de Trump en 2024 (el mismo año en que Vitol pagó 50 millones en California por un caso de manipulación de precios donde Addison fue señalado).
Recomendado por Vance, Addison recibió el 5 de enero (dos días después de la operación) la llamada del secretario de Energía, Chris Wright.
La Casa Blanca omitió la licitación pública y el 9 de enero Vitol y Trafigura ya tenían las licencias.
Con más de 200 millones de barriles exportados en lo que va de 2026, expertos estiman que los operadores ganan entre 3 y 3,50 dólares por barril (un margen de 3,5 % a 4 %, superior al 1 %–3 % habitual de Vitol). Ambas firmas mantienen en secreto sus contratos con PDVSA, y Vitol confirmó tener además relación comercial con NABEP, la petrolera de Alejandro Betancourt
Este reporte se suma a la filtración del informe de KPMG publicada ayer por The New York Times, según la cual Vitol y Trafigura concentraron el 61 % de los 12.260 millones de dólares ingresados a la Cuenta de Custodia de Venezuela antes de que Washington transfiriera casi la totalidad de esos fondos de vuelta al Banco Central de Venezuela
Es decir:
Una semana antes del ataque militar, el gobierno de Trump ya estaba coordinando en un club privado de esquí cómo repartir la comercialización del petróleo venezolano a sus megadonantes de campaña sin licitación pública.
