The Trump Crime Family Belongs in Jail. NOW.

A corrupt ruling family that has mistaken the United States of America for a private business opportunity.

What do you call a country where thousands of airplanes are grounded because the government can't maintain its air traffic control system, where elderly passengers with serious medical conditions are left sitting in airplanes for hours and hours, where children are threatened by the return of preventable diseases, and where the president's family is busy enriching itself while cultivating relationships with foreign billionaires and Russian oligarchs connected to Vladimir Putin?

I'll tell you what I call it. I call it a country being looted by a ruling family that has mistaken the United States of America for a private business opportunity. I call it a national disgrace.

Un homme « brisé » et « anéanti » : le récit des dernières heures de Jensen Huang à la tête de Nvidia

Selon des personnes qui lui ont récemment parlé, Jensen Huang se livrerait aujourd’hui à une sévère autocritique, allant jusqu’à se qualifier lui-même de «m***». Evelyn Hockstein / REUTERS
LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Après s’être évertué à nier les allégations d’infidélité à son encontre et à se battre pour conserver son poste de PDG du géant des puces électroniques, l’homme d’affaires américano-taïwanais a fini par avouer. Récit de la descente aux enfers du « parrain de l’IA ».

Il y a encore quelques jours, vêtu de son éternel blouson noir, Jensen Huang était aux manettes de la première valorisation boursière mondiale, galvanisait des stades entiers d’admirateurs, échangeait en tête-à-tête avec les dirigeants les plus influents de la planète. Autant dire que pour l’emblématique et désormais ex-patron de Nvidia, poussé à la démission jeudi 12 novembre par son conseil d’administration, après les révélations par la presse américaine de plusieurs relations extraconjugales, dont une avec une espionne chinoise présumée, la chute est vertigineuse. Des semaines durant, devant ses collègues et amis, l’homme d’affaires américano-taïwanais de 63 ans avait tout nié. Aujourd’hui, il avoue tout. Quelques signes avant-coureurs avaient pourtant déjà alerté ses plus proches collaborateurs. Récit des dernières heures du « parrain de l’IA », cofondateur de Nvidia en 1993, à la tête du géant des puces électroniques.

Le trouble autour de Jensen Huang commence à devenir public fin octobre. La presse révèle alors ses liens avec Alice Huang, une ancienne dirigeante de Megaspeed, une société de centres de données établie à Singapour et cliente de Nvidia. Selon des responsables américains cités par le New York Times, cette ressortissante chinoise aurait recueilli des renseignements pour Pékin. Difficile d’imaginer dossier plus sensible : le patron de Nvidia, qui conçoit notamment les puces basées sur l’architecture Blackwell, parmi les plus avancées au monde, aurait-il livré des secrets industriels au principal rival technologique des États-Unis ? L’enquête le dira, mais l’étau se resserre : Alice Huang se trouverait actuellement à Pékin, selon Bloomberg, et la chaîne de télévision CNBC révèle ce vendredi qu’elle aurait détenu des participations dans des sociétés liées au groupe chinois Huawei, concurrent direct de Nvidia… » | Par Jean Kedroff | vendredi 15 novembre 2026

Mercedes Halts Investments in Germany, Says May Shut Down Factories | DW News

Nov 13, 2026 | Mercedes-Benz is halting all investments in its German plants and threatening to shutter production sites in its home country. The carmaker, along with other German manufacturers Volkswagen, BMW and Porsche, is trying to cut back on high German production costs amid steep competition and lower demand from China.

Automotive industry analyst Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, known in German media as the "car pope," warns that the country's car industry faces "the biggest crisis since its inception." He told DW's David Levitz that German carmakers will not be able to keep manufacturing plants at home under current conditions and may have to work more closely with Chinese companies to survive, if German politicians allow it.

Trump Loses. European Populism Lives On | Martin Wolf on the US Midterms | FT

Nov 14, 2026 | Before the 2026 midterms, Timothy Garton Ash, emeritus professor of European studies at the University of Oxford and author of ‘Europe in 7½ Chapters’, described the elections as a crucial test of US democracy.

Now, with the Democrats’ sweeping victory, could the tide be turning against right-wing populism on both sides of the Atlantic or will Europe’s nationalist parties continue to gain ground? Garton Ash and Martin Wolf discuss the common factors between European nationalists, what European politicians can learn from a Democrat victory and whether there’s reason to hope for the future of liberal democracy.

No Future in Germany? Why Skilled Polish Workers Are Going Home | DW Documentary

Nov 1, 2026 | Ever more Poles are leaving Germany, while fewer and fewer are moving the other way. Why do they no longer see a future for themselves in Germany? What's drawing them back to Poland? And what does it all mean for German companies?

Philip Panek chose his university with a goal in mind: the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt on the Oder, right on the German-Polish border. When he began his studies, he planned to stay in Germany and build a career there. Now, he's planning to complete his legal traineeship in Poland. There, he says, he has more than just family and friends waiting for him — he also sees new economic opportunities.

Michael Sünkler can also see that Germany is losing its appeal for many Polish workers. The managing director of a transportation company has many employees from Poland. In recent years, however, many have left. For him, the departure of skilled Polish workers is not an abstract political issue — it's a tangible economic problem. One of those employees is Tomasz. The truck driver has worked in Berlin for over ten years, but rising living costs are taking their toll. Rent and groceries have become significantly more expensive, he says. As soon as his daughter finishes school, he plans to return to Poland with his family.

Kamila Gierko and her husband, Zbyszek Perzyna, have already done just that. Six months ago, they moved from Berlin to Szczecin. For years, Germany offered them favorable conditions for self-employment. But bureaucracy and a lack of digital services, along with high taxes and social contributions were increasingly weighing them down. Their experiences in Poland have been very different: More administrative processes are digital, and the tax burden is lower. Germany, they say, has lost its momentum.

This report follows people whose real-life decisions reveal more than statistics can. It profiles a law student who wants to start a career and a family in Poland, an entrepreneur fighting to retain every Polish employee he can, a truck driver reassessing the cost-benefit analysis of his life, and a couple who have already moved back to their home country.

‘It Will End in Tears’: Andrew Neil’s Dire Warning on the US Economy

Nov 13, 2026 | One week after a historic Democratic midterm landslide, Donald Trump’s final two years in the White House look set to trigger political chaos, a Republican civil war, and a potential stagflation crisis. Gerard Baker is joined by Andrew Neil on The State of It USA to break down what the election results really mean for Trump, the GOP, the Democrats, and the global economy.

With Democrats flipping Mississippi for the first time in over 40 years and eyeing up to 56 Senate seats alongside an 80-seat House majority, Washington is entering uncharted territory. Gerard and Andrew examine whether Trump’s electoral appeal is dead, the looming clash between JD Vance and Reagan-era Republicans like Ron DeSantis, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, and why the Federal Reserve could be trapped if the AI boom deflates while inflation stays high.

I Wrote Jensen Huang’s Biography. Here’s What Led to His Downfall.

Nikita Teryoshin
OPINION : GUEST ESSAY
THE NEW YORK TIMES: We live in the age of artificial intelligence — an age that Jensen Huang, perhaps more than any other single person, has made possible. The systems we are building with Nvidia’s equipment will transform our society and culture in ways we can’t imagine. But Mr. Huang’s unraveling is not a technology story. It is a timeless tale of masculine hubris, of a man undone by reckless overconfidence. Some things never change.

When I wrote my biography of Mr. Huang, I titled it “The Thinking Machine.” The name referred to the microchips that powered A.I., but also to Mr. Huang’s marauding, relentless intellect, which never slowed down or turned off. In the wake of his stunning departure, spurred by revelations that he carried on at least two affairs, one with a woman whom U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, and another with one of his direct reports, I should write a sequel: “The What-Were-You-Thinking?! Machine.”

Let’s start with Mr. Huang’s affair with Alice Huang, an executive who managed a Singapore-based company that owns data centers in Southeast Asia. These data centers are suspected of helping Chinese A.I. developers circumvent U.S. restrictions on sales of Nvidia equipment. A recent report in The Information suggests they were used as a way station to illicitly smuggle some $7 billion of equipment into China. Since U.S. intelligence captured evidence of Mr. Huang in a romantic relationship with Ms. Huang, it’s hard to believe that he did not understand what was going on.

Now consider Mr. Huang’s reported involvement with Kimberly Powell, an executive in the health care group at his firm and his direct subordinate. A former Nvidia employee told me this affair was common knowledge in the company — the same company that employs both of Mr. Huang’s children in executive roles. It’s a stunning and disrespectful display of arrogance. I asked the former employee why Mr. Huang would behave this way, right in front of his kids. The former employee said that it got him high — a narcissist’s high. » | Stephen Witt | Mr. Witt is the author of “The Thinking Machine,” a biography of Jensen Huang. | Thursday, November 12, 2026

Microsoft Users Hit by Global Tech Failure

THE TELEGRAPH: Microsoft is grappling with a major global tech blackout, leaving millions of users and businesses unable to access their emails and other programs, including Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams.

Schools, the NHS, police services and businesses in the UK are all affected by the tech failure, which has dragged on for more than 14 hours since problems began at around 6pm GMT on Thursday.

The service blackout has spread worldwide, affecting Microsoft services in 74 countries and territories, including the UK, the US, Asia and Australia according to website-tracker Downdetector. The tech giant blamed the issue on an “elevated load” on its infrastructure after servers unexpectedly became unavailable, putting more pressure on its remaining systems.

Executives insisted there was “no indication” that the company had been hit with a cyber attack. An update on Friday morning said the recovery efforts were “ongoing”. » | Chris Price | Markets Editor | Friday, November 13, 2026

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang Resigns after Second Affair Allegations | BBC News

Nov 12, 2026 | Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of tech giant Nvidia, the company's board says, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed interim boss.

The resignation was announced in the wake of affair with suspected Chinese spy, which led to the firm's stocks plunging.

The company's shares have recovered some ground after initially plummeting more than 13% when US markets opened shortly after news of Huang's resignation.

On Sunday, Huang admitted an affair with a woman who was repeatedly from another company and suspected to be a Chinese spy. On Thursday, the New York Times reported that he had a second affair with an executive at his own company.

LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Le départ contraint de son charismatique fondateur est un véritable bouleversement pour l’entreprise, largement structurée autour de lui, et pour tout l’écosystème qui en est devenu très dépendant.

Le sort du patron de la plus stratégique entreprise technologique du moment s’est scellé autour d’une relation extraconjugale, mais pas celle attendue. Jensen Huang a démissionné jeudi, à la suite d’un conseil d’administration de Nvidia, réuni en urgence dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Les événements se sont précipités après la révélation par le New York Times d’une autre liaison qu’a eue Jensen Huang avec une de ses vice-présidentes, Kimberly Powell, chargée de la division santé du groupe, qui travaillait donc sous sa responsabilité directe. Ce « scoop » a précipité la douloureuse décision des 11 membres du conseil d’administration de le faire quitter immédiatement son poste de directeur général. Le fondateur, et seul patron de Nvidia depuis sa création, il y a trente ans, était déjà embourbé depuis plusieurs semaines dans un scandale bien plus grave, lié à sa liaison avec Alice Huang, une ancienne dirigeante de la plateforme de cloud Megaspeed, soupçonnée d’être une espionne chinoise et au cœur d’un trafic illégal de puces IA de la marque vers Pékin. » | Par Ingrid Vergara | jeudi 12 novembre 2026
