Stunning report. At this point it seems like Howard Lutnick and Jeff Kessler are just outright defying the President's orders on export controls. The President apparently ordered Secretary Lutnick to crack down on China's access to controlled AI chips in Southeast Asia--and reportedly has ordered this three separate times--and they're just...not doing it.

Why is Lutnick refusing to act? Why is he allowing China to continue to get AI chips via Southeast Asia? At this point, Lutnick isn't just protecting Nvidia, he's straight up protecting Chinese companies--reportedly against the wishes of the President and the entire rest of the Cabinet. Is Lutnick personally benefitting from China getting access to AI chips?

This is a total breakdown inside the administration on a major national security issue. There has to be accountability for this. Congress obviously will investigate, but how is it that the President's own appointees are just refusing to execute the President's orders? I've never seen anything like this.

Senator @scott_colom. LFG! #MississippiMatters

[Douglas Heye @DougHeye]

This soldier shows real character. DOD political appointees should learn from him.

[Diane Feldman @dianefeldman]

So proud of my new Senator @scott_colom and all the people - for generations really - who made this happen. Special thanks to the young leaders - @Charlesrolyat @Gerard_Hen @DamontaMorgan @ArekiaSBennett @RyanSayles_ and others who have taught me much about faith and the future and to all before who paid it forward. #MississippiMatters

An absolute NCGOP dummymander - and wasted time and money.

Legitimately would have impeached same day anyone from Obama admin who this happened to. They would have come back from recess to do it.

[Team Hakeem @teamhakeemhq]

Leader @HakeemJeffries correctly predicting that Republican gerrymandering would fail, one week ago today:

“There is zero circumstance that Republicans are going to net 5 seats in Texas, 4 seats in Florida and gain a seat in North Carolina.

Our incumbents courageously decided to battle to hold these seats because they know the importance of this election, and that’s one of the reasons why we’re on the brink of victory.”

2027 brings statewide elections back to Mississippi. Democrats must now invest in winning the Governor’s race, the Secretary of State’s race and others there next year.

“story’s done” is not typically how journalism works.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

None of the NYT, WaPo, or Politico mention Jim Jordan’s key role in trying to help Trump overturn 2020 in their stories today on Jordan becoming House GOP leader. NYT says the move “signaled a desire for fresh leadership.”

if you want to find a way to make a difference - and make some lifelong friends - work on a campaign!

[Tommy Kubitschek @takubi7]

This comms team was unstoppable and truly made magic happen in the trenches. They ruthlessly fought for every single inch to win TEXAS and did it with joy. Would follow @georgiadell @garzoria_ruben @alishadulaney10 and @jacobwlong87 to hell and back!

Behind the @nytimes scoop: Reporter @trippmickle says their investigation into Nvidia CEO’s relationship with an alleged Chinese spy began after a 2024 party photo revealed that Alice Huang could summon the “rock star” executive within minutes.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Trump went all in on a new Big Lie, this time about the 2026 midterms. None of this should come as a surprise. I warned about it on my podcast on Sunday.

But you wouldn’t have known it from watching “60 Minutes” that same night. https://t.co/RzisVARm7R

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

Trump did go on a rant to @Douthat60 about the 2020 election being stolen, and CBS decided not to air it. Perhaps DNC should sue? Isn’t that the new norm?

[Eric Schultz @EricSchultz]

one of the most effective - and most fun - ways to change your country: join a campaign!

[Lauren Chou @lauren_chou]

It's been a week since we flipped the Ohio Senate seat that helped deliver a Democratic majority. None of it would have been possible without this scrappy, indefatigable, ridiculously talented comms team who led one of the sharpest and most aggressive comms programs on the map.

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

NEW: Trump was told aboard AF1 en route to China but before he picked up Jensen Huang about the US intelligence about the Nvidia chief and a woman assessed to be a Chinese spy @jonathanvswan @julianbarnes @AnaSwanson me https://t.co/IrHYNTRhZS

Here in the Senate all workers in the cafeteria know me! They say they are more excited to see me than to see the senators. What an honor!

Just because a Jewish person is in a senior role does not mean it’s good for the Jews.

Few people have done more than Miller to normalize the white nationalist, antisemitic, and racist conspiracy theories that have fueled deadly attacks against Jews and so many others.
