We're reporting only a fraction of measles cases in the US; some estimates put it as low as 20% in states like PA. This outbreak is much larger than what's reported and is spilling into highly vulnerable communities like babies and pregnant women. We will lose our Measles elimination status this month, and it will take years of responsible public health management to get it back.

Are you fucking kidding us?
The US Secretary of Defense posts “Patriots in control,” a notorious QAnon slogan. THREE MINUTES later, Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev responds with “WWG1WGA,” another QAnon cult mantra.
What the actual fuck is this? A coordinated trolling operation? A joint US-Russian QAnon convention? Or have the lunatics finally taken over both asylums?
These people are running two nuclear powers, for fuck's sake.

Trump's Arch is an abomination and must never be built. The idea of that hideous edifice darkening the hallowed grounds of Arlington should offend every American whether they served or not. I will be part of the coalition to end this ridiculous personal idolatry once and for all.

Judge Mustafa Kasubhai put ICE's arrest reports side by side with its own officer's sworn testimony. They didn't match. Trump's ICE just found out what happens when a judge actually reads the paperwork: dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps…

“I think he’s been bought”: Former US Army Europe commander claims Putin is pressuring Trump
“I can’t prove it, but it’s absolutely clear that President Trump is under some kind of pressure from Vladimir Putin. I think he’s been bought,” retired General Ben Hodges said on the German political talk show Maybrit Illner.
According to Hodges, Trump now has two options: admit that he is beholden to Putin or try to escape accountability by counting on protection from his successor.
“We’ve never had a perfect president. But having a president who is not only corrupt himself, but also allows others to be corrupt, is an incredible disgrace,” Hodges concluded.
Do you agree?

Russia is preparing for trilateral talks by launching ballistic missiles at Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Repair and rescue operations are underway in the affected regions wherever the security situation allows. In total, the Russians used 172 drones and 36 ballistic missiles, with all the missiles aimed at Kyiv and the surrounding region. Energy infrastructure was once again the main target. The capital is facing serious difficulties with its electricity, water, and heat supplies. Residential buildings and the Northern Bridge were damaged. A kindergarten was partially destroyed. In the Kyiv region, a substation connecting the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plants to Kyiv and Ukraine’s central regions was hit. Substations were also damaged in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kharkiv, and Dnipro regions. In addition to Kyiv, twelve other regions came under attack. Nine people were injured, including one child.
I thank all our people who defend the country against this terror every day, work to restore what has been damaged, and do everything they can to get Ukraine through the winter. But when Russia is trying to plunge Kyiv – a city of millions – and the entire country into a blackout, Ukraine must not be left alone. We are counting on increased bilateral support from the United States. We are counting on the U.S. Congress to give more attention to Ukraine, because Russia keeps increasing the number of its attacks. It is important that support for Ukraine remains among the priorities of U.S. policy. We are counting on both parties to stand united on matters of security, support for Ukraine, condemnation of Russian aggression, and increased sanctions pressure on Putin. America’s resolve and consistency in supporting Ukraine are crucial in bringing peace closer.

Wait, Trump told us their nuclear program was completely obliterated so all the cost of the war in lives, injuries, money, destroyed bases, aircraft, depleted missile stocks, gas/diesel prices, on and on were all worth it. Now we’re giving out rewards to people to help us? WTF?

Jensen Huang could face up to 20 years in federal prison and a $1 million fine per count if convicted of a criminal export-control violation. Under 50 U.S.C. § 4819, that could apply if prosecutors proved he willfully participated in or conspired to carry out an unlawful chip export or diversion, or aided and abetted it.
WTF is going on @GOP @realDonaldTrump
?????????
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.
Omg! How bizarre. Trump has done it again - no legitimate ally will share with us.

I can't emphasize enough how monumentally stupid this is. The people have spoken...over and over. The Missouri GOP appears to be on a suicide mission and we are not going to sit back and let them dictate to the people of our state anymore. They clearly have not learned the lessons of Tuesday. We will be showing them.

This will be a premium upgrade for Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee! 🇺🇸 We will go from Jim Jordan, a dumb, inept idiot who never passed the bar exam and never sponsored a bill in his 19 years in the House, to Jamie Raskin! Jamie is an intelligent, compassionate man who received his JD magna cum laude from Harvard, admitted to the bar in both Maryland and DC, was Assistant AG in Massachusetts and a scholar and Professor of Constitutional Law! We look forward to having an intelligent and well respected chair again!
