The majority of White Democrats with this take (Johnny-come-too late folks) are the problem and why Black Voters don’t trust them.

The war ends when Russia departs Ukraine. Simple as that.
As to Kushner, he's a milky white nothingburger except for the fact he's a treasonous snowflake and dishonest as the day is long.
I look for him to curate a federal prison cell housed close to many other family members in the next 2-3 years.

Salon was the softer counterpart to Slate back in the early days of internet magazines, and for a while they both looked like they could be as important as any print equivalent. But that was a long time ago.
Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication. It has been an extraordinary privilege. salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye…

I’ve lived in this city for 25 years. This has been, without debate, THE BEST fall.

Nothing says "we heard the message and ignored it" quite like naming a white nationalist as chief of staff.
WHOA‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
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.
I think the plastic hooker shoes are leaching something toxic into her brain.
Sanders on Texas: I think there’s going to be a lot of buyer’s remorse. If you don't believe me, just look at what's happened in places like California where they have broken economies. I think in January you're going to have a lot of people who wish they had elected the freedom-loving/Christ-centered people that you had like Governor Abbott who were leading the state of Texas.

YES, Abbott has done a phenomenal job which is why the entire state went to Democrats.

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.

It’s a fair point. New York and Florida are basically the same, except for our 24/7 subway system, one of the nation’s largest public hospital systems, a higher minimum wage, stronger worker protections, universal 3-K, paid family leave, paid sick leave, and paid prenatal leave.
