The Rise and Fall of Nvidia’s Geopolitical Strategy | TechPolicy.Press Nvidia's geopolitical balancing act between the US and China flopped after an arduous lobbying campaign, Leevi Saari writes.

China last month banned companies from purchasing Nvidia’s H20 chips, signaling a breakdown of a corporate strategy designed to navigate complex geostrategic tensions, Leevi Saari writes. www.techpolicy.press/the-rise-and...

Wow.

A fired-up Mikie Sherrill just put on her federal prosecutor’s hat in an interview with #Maddow, laying out the damning case against Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump Administration for what was clearly a coordinated effort to illegally share her military records.

I made this in jest because I’m finding it hard to believe that a text message exchange would sound like a Jane Austen novel written by a cop. Completely Believable Text Message Theater - sound up.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Exclusive: No evidence of primary residence violation by Fed Gov Lisa Cook, says Michigan official The property tax authority in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook hasn’t broken rules for tax breaks on a home there that Cook declared her primary residence.

Last week, we found out Lisa Cook’s Atlanta mortgage docs correctly called her property a vacation home, not a primary residence. Now there’s evidence her MI home docs were also done correctly. & she won big in court today, too. This trump witch hunt is disgusting.

129. The value of President Trump’s one-of-a-kind, unprecedented personal
brand alone is reasonably estimated to be worth at over $100,000,000,000. His
business ventures are successful and generate hundreds of millions of dollars of
annual revenue for the Trump Organization. Moreover, the injury to President
Trump’s business and personal reputation inflicted by these Defendants threatens to
Case 8:25-cv-02487 Document 1 Filed 09/15/25 Page 79 of 85 PageID 79

continue, thereby causing massive economic damage to his brand value and
significant damage and injury to his future financial prospects. The harm to the value
of TMTG stock is one example of how the Defendants’ defamation has injured
President Trump. Because President Trump’s net worth is extremely high and
includes his unique brand, which he has carefully cultivated over decades, the
reputational injury inflicted in this case reaches billions of dollars.

I honestly thought there was a chance that I'd fallen asleep and was dreaming the most absurd, childlike, ego-maniac lawsuit when I tried to read this Trump defamation complaint against the Times, Penguin Random House, and individual journalists.

Shut this B!!!!!H down!!! Don't try to play nice now that you need 7 democratic votes in the senate to keep it open! You all own this. Lets call on our democratic senators to stand strong and no support this regime.

Can we discuss for a moment what an incredible abuse of the office of President it is to sue any entity for defamation while one is in office?

An act of transparent extortion.

He must be removed from office.

This is a stunningly pathological lawsuit even by Trumpian standards. It reads as if he was holding a gun to the head of the child of the lawyer drafting it.

It’s on all of us to stop the hate

Honor the memory of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, by demanding leaders dial back the toxic rhetoric before more lives are lost.

Anybody know any MAGAs (or low-info folks) with cancer? Or cancer in the family?

Be sure they know that Trump isn't just *cutting* cancer research, he's basically decimating it. It may put us back decades in the quest to find a cure. People need to know this.

Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops to help with local law enforcement (without buy-in from the state’s governor) could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN

Now he’s going to Memphis

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."

COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

And now law enforcement is in the position of either following the evidence, even if it contradicts Trump’s β€œconclusions” and makes him mad, or validate his predetermined narrative no matter what

I knew Trump would capitalize on Charlie Kirk's death and use it as an excuse to attack political opponents.

Here he stokes further political tension and violence. He's been waiting for an opportunity like this because he hates half the country he's supposed to lead.

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.
