Donald Trump was warned by intelligence officials that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was likely compromised by a Chinese spy.
He brought Huang to China with him anyway, then denied knowing anything about it.

They truly have no independent thought. It’s either mindlessly parroting Trump or pushing paid talking points.

Scott Colom to MeidasTouch in 2025: We’re going to show the country Mississippi matters this election cycle. Last governor’s race, we had a candidate lose against a Republican incumbent by 27,000 votes. We are a competitive state whenever we get the resources to get our message out.
And let me tell you about my priorities, my first two priorities. We have to raise the minimum wage. You know, a place like Mississippi, we don’t have a state minimum wage.
So the $7.25 that everybody knows nobody can live on, right? That’s the minimum wage in Mississippi. We have to boost that. And for everybody out there that says, “Well, I’m not making the minimum wage, so that doesn’t help me.” Yes, it does, because one of the things that raising the floor does is it boosts all wages.
And so we have to do that. That’s going to be one of my big priorities. And the second one is we have to repeal these health care cuts. We have to repeal the health care cuts. We have to save Mississippi hospitals. So I’m going to repeal those health care cuts. I’m going to save Mississippi hospitals.
And I want to make one final point for everybody out there who somehow thinks Mississippi is not going to be competitive. The Republican Party is already spending money against me. They know Mississippi is competitive. That’s why they’re trying to stop me from getting momentum. And so what I need is the resources to fight that, because we have to get on offense.

Independent media platforming candidates early to a large audience of activists pays off. We work very hard to elevate people who aren’t getting enough attention. What a fantastic candidate he was and an even better person.

Thank you, Brittany! This means so much. We are all in this together, and we’re grateful you’re here with us.

Scott Colom to MeidasTouch: Thank you for giving me the opportunity very early on, when nobody thought Mississippi would be on the radar, to tell my story, tell my message. So God bless you, my friend.
And since then, we went out there and we did the work. I've done over 60 town halls. I've been to the housing projects, I've been to the college campuses, I've been to the music festivals, and we just built a campaign from the grassroots level.
And the people of Mississippi got behind me, and they're ready for a new direction.

🚨 BREAKING: The new Epstein discharge petition just hit 218 signatures. Every Democrat signed, plus Massie, Mace, Norman and Fitzpatrick. That forces a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which would let survivors and state AGs sue DOJ to release the files. Johnson can’t stop it.
Dumb and dumber giving Putin a homework assignment for how he wants to rearrange the European security architecture
🚨Scoop: The U.S. has asked Russia to submit a new proposal for a future security agreement with Europe that includes Russian steps to ease tension with the continent, two sources with knowledge of the matter said. My story on @axios

wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Kamlager-Dove on Hegseth Impeachment: We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues.
You know this man should not be in this position. That’s why he got up at 8 o’clock in the morning with his sorry self to plead to the American people.
So shame on folks who are not here. Because these people lost. They lost, and they still found a way to show up to table this bill. Shameful.

Ojeda: Everything about this was wrong. And look at what it has done to this country. People can’t afford to put groceries in their refrigerators. People can’t afford to put gas in their cars. Farmers are losing their farms because they can’t operate their machinery because diesel was too high.
Somebody should have thought about this, because anybody who has anything between their ears would have known that if you hit Iran, the Strait of Hormuz is going to shut down.

Sen. Adam Schiff on what is happening at the Trump DOJ:
I think it's a couple things. I think one is these folks were all failures in the last two years. You know, they brought a lot of cases. They lost almost all of them.
And maybe this is, you know, the Stephen Millers deciding, "Well, we should get rid of these people who didn't deliver. They had their chance, and now they've made a mess of things."

Ben Meiselas: "You know, it's probably a good thing that Jim Jordan is going to be leading the minority. I mean, the guy is an idiot, the guy is a loser, people hate him. Jim Jordan, a home run for a generationally growing democratic coalition, so we shouldn't even complain."
