CRASH & BURN

Seduction at the top of the chip stack! Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits to, and apologizes for, an affair with a suspected Chinese spy. Meanwhile AI has transitioned from a campaign issue to an ongoing political football.

Crazee Bernie renews his call for a moratorium on Data Centers and in the wake of the midterms, freaks the tech heavy Stock Market where trillions are erased in one day's trading. To paraphrase Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross, "The A.I. boom has been put to a referendum, which is a bit like voting on the tide.

As Hilary Clinton is lusting about sending Elon a tsunami of subpoenas, the good news is that  democrats will overreach because the DSA radicals have the party by the short and curlies. Expect the classic pattern: start with legitimate-sounding oversight, slide into fishing expeditions, and hand the entire spectacle to a public that just watched the midterms. 

Midterms blow out. Democrats ran the table, yet Trump isn't going anywhere. So what's next? We break it down.

The View's Ana Navarro just won the internet by announcing ground beef is $6.30 a gallon and begging America to "vote these bums out."  Larger issues hang over Election Day: Is the USA about to make a bunch of stupid choices? Will we actually know the answer tonight… or three weeks from now while lawyers & provisional ballots play the long game? Sexy. Stupid. Possibly irreversible. Just another Tuesday in America.

Horrific Lear jet crash yesterday in Florida. The plane didn't have time to get out of the dive, neither do the political campaigns approaching the midterms. Winners & Losers hang in the balance as time is running out.

With the midterms days away, Ohio's governor's race is the one everyone's watching—and Amy Acton just gave the internet a performance that has half the timeline asking if she rolled up to the UAW rally a few drinks deep. Prediction markets still like Acton's chances over Vivek's. Reality is messier.

The clown car just pulled up in Alaska for the Senate showdown, and it's got room for two Dan Sullivans! Incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan is fighting for his seat against Mary Peltola. Meanwhile, Democrats found another Dan Sullivan & convinced him to run so voters get confused. Peltola's response? "Just another distraction." The campaign and the party deny involvement. The texts and the sources say otherwise.

Homeland's Mandy Patinkin joins Obama in vouching for Michigan's Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed — the same actor now telling Jews their safety depends on electing him.  Fox meet henhouse.

Midterms in one week. Dems are already polishing their subpoenas & licking their lips. Their latest attack bot, Senator Alex Padilla went full all-caps: "INVESTIGATE ELON MUSK," who responded, "Investigate your wiener," followed by the eggplant emoji and a laugh.
