Coons: "Jensen Huang gave I think $26m to the Trump administration that's publicly known. If the Trump administration was in bed with Nvidia, and the CEO was in bed with a Chinese spy, and that has real consequences for our national security, I think that's something well worth investigation."

Ukraine struck the Volgograd oil refinery, which belongs to Lukoil. The same Lukoil that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have discussed with Putin. Zelenskyy just destroyed the Russian refinery that Kushner was going to get for forcing Ukraine to surrender. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Wow. Mike Levin: “Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.” This needs to become a rallying cry!

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out. The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing. Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees. The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in. Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal. The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals. The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion. This is your tax money. It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children. This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close. We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. google.com/url?q=https://www…

Scott Colom will be Mississippi’s first Black senator since Reconstruction. He won by turning out Black voters while winning 42% of white college graduates. My @Morning_Joe Chart

Let me be clear: I will never take a penny from AIPAC or Super PACs that don’t put Mississippi and America first. This Senate seat belongs to the people of Mississippi. That’s who I’ll answer to.

Now, as we keep worrying about whether the United States will bomb Iran again – and how many countries and how many people could suffer because of it – we are not just waiting to see what happens next in that region. We are actually waiting to see what happens to our own societies – because of price spikes, because of shortages of weapons we need for our defense. We can already feel these shortages. When we look for Patriot missiles to protect our cities and communities from Russian ballistic attacks, we face the same problem again and again – the missiles are going to the Middle East. And what do we have? Empty Patriot systems and Russian ballistic missiles that, in most cases, we have nothing to shoot down with. In our world, nothing stays local – especially wars and injustice. From a speech at the Danish Folketing. (2/3)

How about a broader investigation of how Trump made money on Nvidia stock after blowing up US national security on the advice of a guy who was having sex with a Chinese spy.

Jim Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State, while the team doctor sexually abused 177 of the athletes. Jordan did NOTHING to stop the abuse. As expected, Republicans have voted to make him Minority Speaker for the new Congress. All Republicans are true monsters.

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. 👇

When Pete Hegseth fired Vice Admiral Nancy LaCore after 35 years of service, he thought he was ending her career. Instead, he opened a door, and thanks to his recklessness, LaCore is headed to Congress to hold him accountable.
