“Miller, people close to him say, plans to help steer the White House back to the MAGA movement’s ideological roots, reviving the hard-line, unapologetically populist agenda that defined Trump’s first rise to power and putting it at the center of the administration’s remaining years.” wsj.com/politics/policy/insi…

🚨🇮🇳 India's Ganga River is looking so CLEAR you can see straight down to the riverbed. Stunning footage from Haridwar is going viral after a massive clean-up removed nearly 150 TONNES of waste from a 10-kilometer stretch of the river. Workers and volunteers spent nearly 3 WEEKS clearing rubbish while water levels were temporarily lowered for maintenance. Now the water is flowing again, and people are amazed by what they're seeing. A beautiful sight for one of India's most sacred rivers. Writer: Oliver

Jensen needs to fight, can fight, and can win. And gamers actually need to support him. - Billionaire Leo KoGuan just announced he will not invest in $NVDA without Jensen Huang. - Over 1600 NVIDIA employees have demanding his return. "If you believe in the mission, bring back THE boss." - The "Chinese Spy" label came from leaked "anonymous" intelligence reports and DOJ confirms no determination has been made. We've seen "anon leaks" like this before used as a political weapon. Guess who just gained control of house and senate and hates AI? - The board asked for a resignation even before the results of the formal internal investigation. They never determined if anything was done wrong. They moved extremely fast and before all the facts landed. This smells like a power grab. - China is the one blocking NVidia legal chips (600k legal, lower end H200s stockpiled in HK because of lack of approval). China doesn't want Chinese companies dependent on USA tech. The "he shipped GPUs to China" looks to be without evidence or sense so far. - NVIDIA faces significant challenges in the future with a surplus of chips with an increasingly datacenter hostile market in the West. NVIDIA needs founder mode to get through it. - MANY tech leaders support Jensen's return as leader of NVIDIA, including Elon, Naval, Palmer Lucky, Tim Sweeney, Shaun Maguire, Sarah Guo, Martin Casada, Dick Costolo and Bill Ackman to name a few. - Naval has said "“Jensen Huang is the Steve Jobs of Nvidia. He is irreplaceable” along with many others. They are right. - Jenson has retained the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison along with litigators Melinda Haag and Walter Brown. This is the sign of an offense, not just a defense. Jenson needs a fair shake. There needs to be concrete evidence. He should continue to lead while this is ongoing. He's one of the only ones backing open source AI, and industry insiders say he's the only one fighting to keep gaming GPUs a thing in a world that has chopped consumer facing products in favor of datacenters. “Without GeForce, there would be no CUDA. Without CUDA, there would be no AI. Without AI, there would be no today.” - Jensen Huang. There are powerful forces that want to kill AI, especially open source AI, that want a world where only the elites have AI. They are going to mount a full force attack now that the Dems control both houses, and it's a battle for, literally, freedom. They are not (really) against AI, they are against YOU having AI. They do not want you to own compute, they want a 2 tier society. They want a world where only they are allowed to have compute and determine who gets a PC. You will own nothing and have no defense against their AI. If they win NVIDIA and install their puppets, they alone determine who gets compute and AI and who doesn't in a market where NVIDIA owns 90%. All this we've seen before, in the battle over the 2nd amendment. I believe access to compute and AI should be as fundamental as that right, and for this reason, Jensen should remain as leader of NVIDIA.

In August, this beautiful air beast flew 18,600 miles roundtrip between New Mexico and Japan. It's a new type of air machine - don't call it a blimp or an airship or you will be mocked - built by Sceye. (Which is pronounced Sky. Obviously.) A wealthy Dane named Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen has put $100 million of his own money into this thing. It delivers mobile broadband and imagery from the stratosphere. The goal is to have thousands and thousands of them flying. I went to New Mexico to see the craft getting ready for its journey and interviewed Mikkel. His life and career are quite nuts. Per usual, Core Memory is the best in-depth science and tech podcast, according to a story the NYT will write. Have at it - youtube.com/watch?v=_0e4eHCY…

We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory – in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour – that’s 100 miles per hour. This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered “shahed” drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time. Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these “shaheds” becomes much harder. This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little. If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way. From an address at the 9th European Political Community Summit. (3/3)

Built by some of WWII’s most visionary minds, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) carried American resolve into the hardest places and against the most determined enemies. It embodied the determination of Americans who believed they could achieve the impossible.   Today, after 81 years, the OSS returns.   Our operators deserve a voice equal to the burden placed upon their shoulders. @ASWAndersonSOF advocated for a Secretariat for Special Operations that operates in both name and function, setting the pace, driving coordination, and ensuring SOF has the resources needed.     This redesignation strengthens SOF representation within @DeptofWar and reaffirms America’s commitment to the forces entrusted with the Nation’s most demanding missions.   Read more here 👇 media.defense.gov/2026/Nov/0…
