@SenBlumenthal@richsignorelli Please remind the public that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick owns #CantorFitzgerald a private global financial services and investment banking firm deeply entwined in the Nvidia web
If the "spy narrative is collapsing already" then you should ask @marcorubio why he briefed Trump on it. The most incoherent thing about Sacks is he says we need no AI guardrails because we can't lose to China, but then seems indifferent when Nvidia chips are smuggled there.
How many more elections must we endure in which the threats reach critical levels? How many more times can we ask lawyers and the courts to bail us out? https://t.co/fQI80WZD8U
Howard Lutnick has already lied to the American people about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Now reports reveal he was integral to allowing advanced chips to be sold to China - undermining our national security - even with the knowledge that China was targeting NVIDIA's CEO.
Lutnick should've resigned months ago. It's time for him to go.
@SenAdamSchiff When the name Howard Lutnick name is spoken the name #CanterFitzgerald his family business that is entwined with Nvidia needs to be spoken
1. Russia is losing on the battlefield, but winning at the negotiating table.
2. Why? An American president who is inexplicably beholden to Putin and his naive, inexperienced negotiators
3. The new European security agreement touted by Kushner is great—and it was great when the exact same agreement was signed at Helsinki in 1975, and then reaffirmed in 1990.
4. The problem is that Russia has never abided by it.
5. They grossly violated it when they invaded Ukraine.
6. But Putin may be overplaying his hand. He may not have noticed but there are some new sherifs in town. https://t.co/ns7sOR5Jnb
@SecDuffy What was you cut $ in this boondoggle contract? Promise of campaign donation to your family? Job for your wife?
What a disgrace you and the administration you work for are.
Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Hi Jack! 👋 Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum here. I am the County Clerk for the county that has Michigan State University, and you are dead wrong about out of state students being able to vote here.
Ukraine’s fight is our fight, too. If Putin succeeds, America and our allies will be less safe. That’s why I’ve stood with Ukraine from the beginning and why I’ll keep fighting to make sure Ukrainians have what they need to defend their country and their freedom.
DEM FLIP: Democrat Eileen Laubacher has defeated incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, flipping #CO04 blue.

Congrats, Rep-elect Laubacher!
Kallas on Witkoff/Kushner: "We have institutions in place, so we can't just send any person who has no institutional role, like the Americans are sending. Clearly, we should not copy the same patterns."
The ability of this woman to grill people in the sweetest voice 🤌
In the richest country in the world, people are skipping medications and doctor visits to save money because Republicans care more about giving tax cuts to billionaires than addressing the cost of health care. I’m fighting every day to fix it.
