🇺🇸🇨🇳 Rubio reportedly set Jensen Huang's downfall in motion... with a memo that hit harder than the CIA report it was based on The Washington Post reports the Secretary of State took a CIA report on Jensen's relationship with a suspected Chinese spy and rewrote it in his own, more forceful terms, according to one person familiar with it. When that memo's findings leaked, the scandal began. A former official who worked on chip policy described what Trump's national security team was after: "They wanted to destroy the influence Jensen had over the president." Trump still calls him a "legend." The agencies still can't prove she was a spy. But three bills restricting chip sales to China are now headed for the defense bill, and the one executive who used to talk Congress out of them is gone. So ask yourself who came out ahead this week, and you have a good idea why that memo found its way to reporters. Source: Washington Post / Writer: Daniel

🚨🇺🇸 Jensen Huang resigned over TWO affairs. Now Reuters has uncovered a THIRD. The former Nvidia CEO reportedly had an intimate relationship with yet another employee, whose identity has not been disclosed. That's in addition to Alice Huang, suspected by U.S. intelligence of spying for China, and Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell, who reported to him. Nvidia backed Huang after the first affair surfaced. The second was followed by his resignation within 24 hours. Now a third woman has emerged, just a day after he stepped down. And Nvidia still hasn't publicly addressed the latest allegation.

🚨🇺🇸 A simple majority of Nvidia's 11 directors can remove Jensen Huang "with or without cause"... and they are reportedly meeting TONIGHT Reuters says the meeting is under way, three days after the same board said it had confidence in him. Ten of the eleven directors are independent, and he owns about 3.6% of the stock, which is nowhere near enough to stop a vote against him. One longtime tech analyst described what the board is weighing: "Jensen is not replaceable... there is no other person on the management team bench that can step in seamlessly as CEO." With no successor named, speculation has turned to his children, who both started as interns and now hold senior roles. His daughter Madison, 35, leads marketing for Nvidia’s robotics and AI platforms and travels with him to major events, while his son Spencer, 36, manages robotics products. A Huang in charge would signal continuity, but their father said last month either would have to earn the job, and neither is an executive officer, so a temporary chief from outside the family is the likelier first move.

🚨🇺🇸 WOW! Jeff Bezos wants the bottom 50% of American earners to pay ZERO taxes... And he has a question for Washington: “Why is a nurse in Queens making $75,000 a year paying $1,000 a month in taxes?” Bezos argues that the bottom half of earners contribute just 3% of tax revenue anyway. His solution? Stop collecting it from them entirely. “We shouldn't be asking this nurse to send money to Washington. They should be sending her an apology.” Writer: Samuel

🇺🇸 WTF is this thing flying near a U.S. military base in Alaska? A woman in Anchorage was taking pictures of a rainbow when she spotted something bizarre in the sky. It looked like a giant jellyfish, with dark tentacle-like parts dangling underneath. The thing hovered for about 3 minutes before suddenly disappearing. Even stranger, it was spotted in the direction of a U.S. military base that houses F-22 fighter jets. She and her husband went looking for a kite or anything that could explain it, but found nothing. Whatever that thing was, it sure didn't look like anything we've built on this planet. Source: Daily Mail / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸 Fauci’s longtime right-hand man just pled guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. David Morens spent years helping bury COVID-related records through private emails, deletions, and FOIA workarounds. Rand Paul flagged him years ago. Now Morens is admitting it in court and facing prison time. He needs to spill everything about what Fauci knew and ordered if he wants mercy. The cover-up machine is starting to crack. Throw the book at all of them. Writer: Lucas

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The worst case for this war now has a number: $250 oil and 11% inflation by the fall Edward Dowd ran money at BlackRock and now models exactly this kind of shock, and his May call, $125 oil peaking then rolling over, played out in print. The new worst case: Gulf energy infrastructure starts coming apart, oil runs toward $250 FAST, and his model puts inflation between 8 and 11 percent by early fall. The mercy in the math: prices that high destroy demand so quickly they cannot hold, and the spike itself tips the world into recession. Which means Sunday night is the thing to watch. Markets have learned this war's rhythm, escalation talk on weekends, then a headline about Iran wanting a deal before futures open. The first weekend that pattern breaks, this becomes a different market. The home fuse is credit. The AI buildout leaned on private credit for its financing, and that market has gone cold, withdrawals frozen and early bankruptcies landing. Credit ends every party; stocks find out last. His compass has one needle: "Watch the price of oil and it'll tell you how the war is going." The baseline stays a painful but ordinary recession, on one condition. Oil under $100. But it is climbing. @DowdEdward

A guy swam Niagara Falls, went over the 170-FOOT drop, and walked out alive. The rainbow watching the whole thing is nature's "I can't believe that worked" face😂 The falls kill basically everyone who tries this. Except him. Somehow.

Babies hit the edge of a glass cliff and freeze. No training needed. The terror of the drop is wired in. Depth perception isn’t learned... it’s installed at launch. Nature doesn’t negotiate with gravity. Writer: Oliver

SpaceX is building a giant air separation plant next to Starbase. Buying rocket propellant ingredients by the truckload gets old when you plan to launch all the time. The plant will make liquid oxygen and nitrogen on-site. Less tanker traffic. Less waiting. More Starship operations. Classic SpaceX: Build the rocket. Then build the factory next door that boosts launches. @SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇫🇷🇲🇦 FIFA has handed France vs Morocco, a World Cup quarter-final, to an all-Argentine officiating crew. That's the problem, because FIFA usually ships in referees from a neutral confederation to keep a match like this clean. This time it picked 5 officials from a country still trying to win the whole thing. Argentina's Facundo Tello leads the lot tomorrow. Referee, both assistants, fourth official, reserve. It's the first match at this World Cup run start to finish by a single nation. The optics are rough. Egypt's coach spent yesterday insisting the tournament was being bent to keep Argentina and Messi alive, and FIFA's answer, deliberate or not, was to staff a rival's quarter-final entirely with Argentine whistles.
