Nvidia is investigating CEO Jensen Huang’s romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence suspects gathered information for China during an illicit affair between the two.
Despite the company’s investigation, Nvidia asserted that neither national security nor company secrets were compromised by the spy operation, believed to have been going on since 2024.
The case follows years of FBI warnings to Silicon Valley about Chinese espionage, which many tech leaders ignored. Nvidia said Huang supports his company’s investigation and is cooperating with a committee of independent directors, backed by outside attorneys, that’s overseeing the probe.
The Supreme Court has given Trump administration approval to resume building a wall on the southern U.S. border in Texas’ Big Bend area.
In an unsigned opinion, the justices said courts have scant power to review the Department of Homeland Security’s waiver of environmental and historic preservation laws to speed construction. The court said that means the lower court should have stayed out of the Big Bend dispute.
The ruling will allow DHS to move forward with wall construction in the Big Bend sector of western Texas, which covers roughly 517 miles of border, with initial phases focused on about 175 miles of steel barriers.
Declare victory and go home. Keep a naval blockade until Iran folds. Drop bombs until the regime surrenders.
President Trump said he wouldn’t attack Iran until after the midterm elections. Now, decision time has arrived.
Voters repudiated his decision to wage the war, complicating his exit plan from the eight-month conflict. The president is caught between an incoming Congress that wants to constrain his war powers and hawks who say it is time to finish what he started. He is leaving the door open to both diplomatic and military resolutions to the Iran conflict.
The blue tsunami in the midterm elections last week might sweep away Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Newly elected Democrats are lining up, but not in support of the 75-year-old Schumer, who’s represented New York in the Senate for nearly 28 years.
At least five newly elected Senate Democrats have said they won’t vote for Schumer when party lawmakers meet to select a majority leader this month.
Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen is said to be “open” to challenging Schumer and already has the backing of Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat who pulled off a 7-percentage-point win in Michigan’s Senate race.
Embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced an overhaul of the Pentagon’s professional education system intended to refocus on combat lethality.
In announcing the move, Hegseth said the schools, such as the Army War College and the Naval War College, too often embrace civilian academic trends rather than focusing on core military strategy.
Meanwhile, Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie moved to force a House vote on eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of illegally waging war against Iran and abusing his authority at the Pentagon.
And finally … A gun advocacy group says gun sales are expected to surge in the coming months with Democrats’ ascendance to power on Capitol Hill and in several states.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said the desire to buy firearms could reach its highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic.
FBI data on gun background checks, usually considered to be a rough barometer of overall sales, showed a spike in late 2012 and early 2013, after the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting and President Obama’s calls for new gun controls.
