Amid the Nvidia scandal, who do foreign spy services target? @SteveYates, senior research fellow at @Heritage, says itâs anyone with privileged access:
âAnyone who has personal contacts in their phone that might include, say, the president of the United States, youâre going to be a target for almost every intelligence service on the planet.â

House Republicans blocked a vote on impeaching @SecWar Pete Hegseth by sending the resolution to committee.
âThe question in an impeachment is, have you broken any laws and have you violated the Constitution? And I argue in 8 instances he has,â said Rep. Thomas Massie.
Massie just lost an election to a Republican candidate endorsed by President Trump.
âAs for the articles themselves, Iran, the cartels, Maduro, Yemen, every one was a lawful operation ordered by the commander in chief, then ordered by myself, notified to Congress and executed by American warriors who did their jobs,â said Hegseth.
Hegseth says an impeachment over policy disagreements sends the wrong message to Americaâs enemies.
âIt tells them that a single rogue legislator⌠can attempt to veto national security decisions made by the duly elected commander in chief.â

Former FBI special agent @JGilliam_SEAL argues Rep. Thomas Massieâs push to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was about ego:
âThis is one of those instances where this is just purely his ego going out there so he can get one last big blast before he steps out of office.â

President Trump is urging Congress to pass the bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. @RepBuddyCarter says faster doesnât mean less thorough:

Alarm bells should go off in the head of any politician, tech CEO, or China hand who is approached by a young, attractive, and obviously available Chinese woman.
You are only a means to an end.

Ahead of President Trumpâs meeting with Xi Jinping at APEC, president of the Population Research Institute @StevenWMosher says the U.S. must stop Chinaâs espionage to stay ahead:

Speaker Mike Johnson wonât run for House GOP leader in the next Congress, setting up a race between Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan. Meanwhile, Senate races in Alaska and Mississippi are still too close to call.

âThere is no freedom of expression in Hong Kong. Youâre free to say nice things about the government, but you arenât free to say anything else.â

DOJ drops its lawsuit over roughly 20,000 disputed California mail-in ballots.
The Justice Department on Nov. 6 filed to voluntarily dismiss its case seeking to force California to set aside ballots cast by about 20,000 people federal authorities suspected were not U.S. citizens.
"We dismissed the case because the court rejected our demands to sequester the ballots, and the election is now over. Our efforts to restore confidence and integrity in elections continue," First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said on X.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said: "Next week, the Trump Administration would have faced tough questions in court about its list of suspected noncitizens. Rather than face that scrutiny, it chose to drop its case."
The lawsuit was pulled four days after the Supreme Court rejected DOJ's emergency appeal to set aside the ballots in question until citizenship could be verified for the voters. DOJ said that by a scheduled Nov. 13 hearing, the ballots would already be processed and commingled with lawful ones.
DOJ said it is evaluating other ways to address suspected noncitizen voting.

đşđ¸ Thousands turned out along Constitution Avenue to honor Americaâs veteransâwith Vietnam veterans, active duty service members, Gold Star families and first responders joining the National Veterans Parade as the nation marks its 250th anniversary.
Leading this yearâs @NtlVetsParade: Vietnam veteran and âRich Dad Poor Dadâ author Robert Kiyosaki @theRealKiyosaki.
Among those attending was Vietnam veteran Dunn Morris, who was exposed to Agent Orange during his service. On his first visit to Washington, he shared the occasion with his wife.
I spoke with veterans and families about the sacrifices behind their serviceâand what this recognition means to them.

A Mexican judge is arrested for allegedly accepting a $2 million bribe to release former Olympian and accused drug trafficker Ryan Weddingâs alleged second-in-command, Andrew Clark.
Prosecutors allege Clark agreed to pay Judge Luis BenĂtez AlcĂĄntara about $2 million to order his release. BenĂtez allegedly received the full amount on February 24, 2025âthe same day he granted Clark bond and ordered him released, according to prosecutors.
Clark was rearrested days later and brought to the United States, where his case remains pending.
The Justice Department announced November 5 that BenĂtez, 49, faces nine counts of being an accessory after the fact.
He was arrested in Colombia, and the United States will request his extradition.
BenĂtez oversaw Clarkâs extradition proceedings in Mexico City following Clarkâs October 2024 arrest on U.S. drug trafficking, murder and attempted murder charges, according to DOJâs account of the indictment.
Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder, was apprehended in Mexico in January 2026. He remains in U.S. federal custody facing drug trafficking, murder and attempted murder charges.
The case is part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative.
The charges are allegations. All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
