ABSOLUTELY INSANE. THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.
Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote. Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment. Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

The Huang Affair is the new Watergate. It no longer just about Jensen or Nvidia. It’s about what the US government knew and when did they know it.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: President Trump lied on Monday about when he had been told that Jensen Huang was in a relationship with a Chinese spy to whom he was selling chips. In reality he has known since May, and chose to do nothing, despite the risks to national security, and despite warnings from Rubio. nytimes.com/2026/11/10/us/po…

It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.
The Trump/Putin deal gets worse. According to reports, the US was also offering $100 billion of frozen assets (that are in the custody of the EU) in exchange for a limited ceasefire. kyivpost.com/post/86720

"I was unfaithful to my wife." Jensen Huang wrote that to Nvidia's staff Sunday. Trump called him an honorable guy. The Times says Trump was briefed on the woman a year ago. In August, he bought the stock: narativ.org/p/1109-nvidia

JUST IN: An anonymous art collective has unveiled a BRUTAL Veterans Day tribute to Donald Trump on the National Mall. The statue depicts Trump rubbing his aching foot, mocking the bone spurs diagnosis that helped him avoid the Vietnam War draft in 1968.

🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: Netanyahu has been DENIED the first chance to form Israel's next government. President Isaac Herzog has officially selected Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu's main rival, to try to build a governing coalition. The formal ceremony is scheduled for Sunday at 5 p.m. in Jerusalem. And the numbers explain why. Eisenkot received recommendations from 67 lawmakers, compared with just 46 for Netanyahu. He'll now have 28 days to put together a government, with a possible two-week extension. But there's a rather significant catch. Those 67 endorsements don't mean Eisenkot actually has 67 lawmakers willing to sit in the SAME government. Several potential coalition partners are refusing to work with one another. So Netanyahu hasn't lost the premiership just yet. But after years in power, he's now watching his biggest rival get the first opportunity to replace him. And for once, Netanyahu isn't the one holding the mandate. Source: Yediot News / Writer: Oliver

Trump’s decision to elevate Miller was because he wants somebody who “will crack skulls” - and that he “doesn’t want to be reined in.” There is no need for a chief of staff who could work the Hill because nothing was going to get done. “The next two years are going to be nonstop political warfare” theatlantic.com/politics/202…

据今天的《金融时报》,美国政府认为,黄仁勋与一名中国女性有过“浪漫关系”(romantic relationship)。 这名女性是新加坡公司Megaspeed的高管Alice Huang(中文名黄乐,与黄仁勋无亲属关系),美方情报界相信她被中国国家安全部招募为间谍。 这不能怪老黄,换我我也能被这糖衣炮弹击中!🤣🤣
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
帖子文字准确引用《金融时报》关于黄仁勋与Alice Huang关系的报道,但附带的图片包括一张明确AI生成的图像(标“AI合成”)和一张无关的餐厅自拍,并非真实事件或人物的照片。 officechai.com/ai/jensen-huan… telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

David Glosser, Stephen Miller's uncle, told CNN his nephew is an "immigration hypocrite": Our family history is entirely dependent on our ability to escape a terrible situation in Belarus. Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would not exist. Everybody else who didn't make it to America ended up dying in the Holocaust.

Trump screamed at Susie Wiles and banished her from the Oval Office. As the door slammed, he was still yelling: The 72 hours that destroyed the president's beloved chief of staff... and her Camp David plot to deceive him trib.al/gLUCNpy

News: Rep Adam Smith, next chair of House Armed Services Committee, tells me Dems will vote to cut off funding for Trump's Iran war. "I think it’ll be one of the first things we do," he says. Critically, he says this will have support of Dem leadership: newrepublic.com/article/2176…
