This is insane. Huge national security threat. WTAF?
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.

Doing this will significantly reduce the risk of future criminals like Trump, et al to attempt election tampering with corrupt state officials. It will also make everyone's vote count the same which is the way it should be rather than just a handful of swing state voters.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most people will see in a lifetime, only to lose a Senate race in Texas by double digits. This is a reminder that we must overturn Citizens United. But it's also a reminder that organized people can still defeat organized money.

Alright so, we had 2 years under biden with a democrat majority and we've now had 2 years of republican majority under trump. Lets take a look at what each parties legislative accomplisments were.
Under Dems
American Rescue Plan Act:
$1.9T package with direct payments, vaccine funding, and an expanded child tax credit which cut child poverty in half.
CHIPS and Science Act: semiconductor manufacturing, R&D, and supply chain investment.
Inflation Reduction Act:
largest federal clean energy investment, drug price negotiations, ACA subsidies and capped insulin at $35 a month.
PACT Act:
expanded health care and disability benefits for veterans.
Under republicans
One Big Beautiful Bill:
extended 2017 tax cuts and added new deductions. Kicks millions off of their healthcare, snap, squeezes the poorest families in America.
GENIUS Act:
first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.
Epstein Files Transparency Act: required DOJ to release Epstein related records. DOJ is currently breaking this law by not releasing the full records.
Laken Riley Act:
mandatory detention for certain noncitizens accused of theft, burglary, assault on law enforcement, or crimes causing death/serious injury.
Secure America Act:
$70B for ICE and Border Patrol through FY2029.

Please remember all the anti-democratic dogs that did not bark today.
ICE did not intimidate or arrest voters at polling stations.
Trump's attempt to disenfranchise voters in California failed miserably.
Trump's planned shenanigans in Alaska no longer matter. Dems already won the Senate.
And we dont have to wait anxiously to see what the House clerk will do on January 3rd regarding the seating of newly elected members. This blowout makes that anti-democratic tactic completely untenable now.
Democrats won big tonight.
But so too did democracy.
Those who predicted democracy's death in America were mistaken.

BREAKING: Virginia has just repealed its constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
And codified abortion rights into the state constitution.
On the same night.
This is not a blue wave. This is a tsunami.

This is an election-day reminder that election denial is a form of corruption and specifically an act of fraud. It means that individuals loyal to the leader have agreed to tell a lie to the American people about who won an election. They propagate that lie to their constituents, congregations, consumers, and their children until it becomes not just a party line but a credo.
Daniel Glass retweeted
This is called voter suppression and these people will 100% wait all day, if they have to, to vote. Republicans have done everything in their power to suppress the vote and I am sure more shenanigans are coming but don't tell me that people are not motivated and dedicated. This doesn't happen in red counties. They have like two machines per voter.
My sincerest thank you to everyone who has to wait for hours to cast their vote. 🗳️💙🗳️💙

Damnnnnnnn
David Jolly: The other side of the aisle likes to throw around the term socialism. I just call it cheaper insurance. But tell me what a hurricane fund currently is that bails out our insurance companies?
It sounds a whole lot like socialism to me.
What does it mean when we give Elon Musk billions of dollars of tax credits and we don't tax his profits? Sounds a whole lot like socialism to me.
What about a president who says, hey, if you vote for me and elect my team, we're going to give you a $5,000 check? What about a president who removes Maduro but supports Delce in Venezuela? What about a president who suggests we should allow investment in the hospitality industry on the island of Cuba? What about a president who invited Vladimir Putin to South Florida to come to Miami in December, a leader who has backed the Maduro regime, the Sandinistas, and the Cuban regime? They don't even understand economic theory on the other side of the aisle, folks.
They're just arguing labels to try to scare us and divide us.

The name "Dan Sullivan" showing up twice on the Alaska ballot doesn't bother me.
The name "Donald Trump" appearing in the Epstein files THOUSANDS of times does.

PEDIATRICIAN BACKGROUND: "I’m a board-certified pediatrician... I’m also proud of the work I did in the gun violence prevention space. My role at Everytown was actually to develop a program to educate medical students on how to talk to parents about the importance of secure firearm storage... It really only took one of those tragedies to compel me to want to do something." @AnnieAndrewsMD

A classic chart to counter the wisdom of crowds idea. US Americans are absolutely clueless about how common things are. They think over a quarter of Americans are Native Americans, one in five Americans is transgender, over a quarter of the population are Muslim, one in five households earn over half a million dollars. The right answer to all of these questions is 1%. They build their worldview on totally incorrect assumptions towards reality. Data literacy matters.

So Trump just helped Flávio Bolsonaro enter the US without a passport..while he's actively fleeing a Supreme Court arrest warrant for corruption in Brazil.
I thought the mission was to deport criminal foreigners, not harbor them at Mar-a-Lago
MAGA, you are a joke.

To all of the Republicans who are outraged over Dan Sullivan being on the ballot in Alaska. Do you honestly forget Kanye West (@ye) running in the 2020 election to try and take votes from Joe Biden, after six Republican operatives were found to be connected to West’s presidential campaign, including people with Trump ties?
