THE BIG NEWS

Trump AI Ally Falls for Suspected Chinese Honeytrap

I will relay this news as soberly as I can because it is serious. We should stay serious. In the most solemn voice I can muster, I tell you now that the chief executive of Nvidia, one of the richest men in the world and a Trump sycophant, had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy who allegedly gave his company’s tech and intel to her paymasters in Beijing, the Guardian and the New York Times reported. “I owe my family and all of you an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Sunday in an apology to his workforce, which includes his two kids and one of their spouses. Sad. Now the company’s board is investigating and shareholders are suing. Solemn.

Jensen Huang is one of the wealthiest people on the planet and Nvidia controls about 90 percent of the market for the computer chips needed to run artificial intelligence software, which is propping up the entire US economy. According to the NYT, Jensen Huang and his company are in such demand that “Larry Ellison, a co-founder of the software company Oracle, in 2024 recalled a sushi dinner in Palo Alto, Calif., where he and Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, begged Mr. Huang for more chips.” 

The woman he had an affair with is Alice Huang, who US intelligence believes was spying for China. Alice Huang was a top executive at the Singaporean data center company Megaspeed, which does business with Nvidia. Megaspeed is suspected of routing Nvidia’s chips to China and evading export controls. Jensen Huang opposes those export controls, argues that they are “a failure” that encourages Chinese manufacturers to make their own, and lobbied lawmakers to lift sales limits on Nvidia chips to China. He won Trump’s approval this year to sell a certain version of its chips to Beijing. 

Business figures on and around Wall Street flocked to Jensen Huang’s defense, telling the WSJ that he is indispensable as chief executive. But some observers said his involvement with Alice is worth investigating further before making that determination. “The key questions are whether he was aware of any espionage activities and whether any confidential or strategically sensitive information was compromised,” George Chen, a partner and chair of digital practice at consultancy The Asia Group, told the AP. A spokesman for China’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, meanwhile, said there was no plot to spy on Jensen Huang, the WSJ reported, calling the whole thing “nothing more than slander and smearing.”

House Minority Leader Jeffries “Hard Yes” on Hegseth Impeachment Articles Filed Yesterday

Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the House Minority leader, said he will support the measure to impeach serial killer Pete Hegseth, Trump’s defense secretary, NBC News and the NYT reported. “I’m a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution,” Jeffries said. “The so-called secretary of defense has abused his power, undermined our national security and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the American people and made the country less safe.” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) filed the articles yesterday. A vote will follow in the upcoming days. Jeffries said House Democrats plan to discuss impeachment today, adding, “Pete Hegseth has got to go.”

Trump Illegally Deporting Immigrants With Court-Ordered Protections

The US is sending immigrants back to the countries they fled, even when they have court-ordered protections forbidding the government from doing so, according to the New York Times. Reporters found that the Trump administration deported more than 110 people with such protections, handing them over to a foreign government which then sent them to their home countries “where they risked torture, sexual abuse or persecution.” Per the NYT: 

In these cases, America’s partners served only as intermediaries. Officers roughed up immigrants or forced them onto airplanes. Some were threatened with imprisonment or confronted by armed police officers until they “volunteered” to return. Some now live in hiding. Others have simply vanished.
Human rights groups say that figure, which is certainly an undercount, shows that the Trump administration has created a bank-shot way of evading court orders and international law.
“It’s undermining the idea of asylum on a global scale,” said Alma David, a consultant with the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, referring to such forced repatriations.
“It’s immigration colonialism — making these governments do the dirty work,” she added.

PARTING WORDS

“It’s offensive to provide funding solely to this one group after we’ve cut off funding in countries undergoing real documented crises.” 

– Former State Department human rights official David Jandura, commenting on the $1 million in taxpayer money the agency is giving to AfriForum, a racist nonprofit that “promotes the disputed notion” that white South Africans are in danger, ProPublica reported. The funding comes after Trump severely cut funding or ended it altogether for genuine humanitarian projects worldwide, which has led to unnecessary death and suffering.
