A staggering national security crisis is actively unfolding in the UK this morning as the US military begins an emergency evacuation of strategic aircraft from RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk.
Top-secret intelligence reports have confirmed the sudden pull-out was triggered by a direct, active terror plot linked to Iran. Multiple heavy US refuelling tankers stationed at the base have already been scrambled and diverted to Germany on short notice.
While the establishment remains completely distracted by political infighting, a hostile foreign regime is actively forcing military assets off British soil. Weakness invites chaos—strength ensures security. It is time for a total national restoration. 🇬🇧

Let me say this for the folks on The Hill:
No fucking way.

Tom Nichols taught at the Naval War College for 25 years, and his most damning point is how unserious Hegseth's "comprehensive review" was. The team was three retired colonels who became far-right social media personalities, none with experience in military education. They got 90 days. The report is still unreleased.
Then Hegseth showed up demanding case studies on the vaccine mandate, Afghanistan, and Mark Milley's Jan. 6 calls. Nichols' conclusion lands: this was not a push for better warfighting. It was an attempt to launder Trump's political vendettas through military education.
An unserious speech from an unserious person, but with a fair amount of civil-military damage in the mix. Hegseth's nickname around the Pentagon is "Dumb McNamara," and he went the distance to earn that one today at the Naval War College.

Daily reminder that some of the deepest Medicaid cuts in Trump and Republicans' Big Ugly Bill start hitting families at the beginning of 2027, just weeks from now. They timed the worst of it to land after the midterms.
When Democrats take the gavels in January, one of our very first votes will be to reverse those cuts and restore the ACA tax credits that kept premiums affordable for millions of families.

I’ve been expecting, and hoping, that one strand of this Nvidia story would lead to Lutnick. If it does, it probably leads to Trump. If it goes to Trump, it’s about money.
And the news gets worse. From Bloomberg:
Teter (Nvidia's GC) called Commerce Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler to ask about the Megaspeed investigation and specifically about the detention of Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive, by the Singapore government.
In the weeks that followed Teter's call, BIS staff were restricted in their ability to look into Megaspeed, including being told not to mention the company in external communications and having to route all requests of Nvidia through Kessler or seek his approval for outreach.

NEW: Senate Banking Committee set to launch investigation into Trump family crypto businesses.

This good find from @SpyTalker, combined with other reporting from today, highlights that all of Nvidia's leadership (including its board) certainly knew of the concerns with Megaspeed and did nothing other than to thwart a government investigation into the company. Big trouble.
Amazing: NYT published a Jensen Huang-Alice Huang-Megaspeed-Nvidia-China story 13 months ago—and no one evidently took notice.

Just arrived at The Hague. On Wednesday, me & American taxpayers will file a complaint at the ICC against Trump & Rubio for their complicity in genocide, with hundreds of pieces of evidence detailing that complicity.
Use our tax dollars to improve our country, not kill kids.

One might think AOC is just explaining how the Speaker gets elected.
But read between the lines ... she's also explaining how a progressive insurgent gets co-opted and absorbed into the Democratic establishment.
Listen carefully.
AOC: “Right now both of these races are uncontested — don’t be mad at me, I’m just reporting the facts.”
Rep. @AOC clearly explains the speaker vote process, says nobody is challenging @RepJeffries and anyone who does would likely be banished to obscure committees.
(If Jeffries is that vindictive it seems like even more of a reason someone should challenge him 😕)

👀 SEN. ELISSA SLOTKIN just called an impromptu presser with some of us to say that she is HOLDING HER VOTE for Dem majority leader until candidates (i.e. Schumer) lay out a plan for how to tackle the first 100 days:
“I think the country made clear that they want a new generation of leadership with big and bold ideas, and at a minimum anyone who wants to be majority leader should lay out what they’re going to do differently and what their plan is to help the American people, especially in the first 100 days.
I’m not voting for anyone that doesn’t lay out that plan and I feel strongly about it.”

🚨 USS GERALD FORD “GOES DARK”: One of America’s most powerful warships disappears from public tracking
The USS Gerald R. Ford — the most advanced aircraft carrier on Earth — is no longer visible on open-source tracking systems.
When carriers go silent, it usually means one thing:
Operational mode.
A nuclear-powered supercarrier does not need to broadcast its position. It moves when and where it chooses — with overwhelming force behind it.
If the Ford strike group is repositioning for combat operations, the strategic message is unmistakable.
The world’s most powerful navy is preparing.
Watch closely.

. @AnnieAndrewsMD’s victory was supposed to surprise you. But more importantly, it was supposed to surprise national Republicans.
Smart insight from @JoshuaKarp on how his team advised the campaign on managing the attention economy.
