Jensen Huang officially resigned as Nvidia’s CEO on Thursday, sending the chipmaker’s stock tumbling at the opening bell.
Quick recap: Huang stepped down days after admitting to an affair, which we told you about earlier in the week, and more allegations of impropriety have since come to light. One of his reported relationships was with alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang (no relation), who U.S. intelligence officials suspected was gathering information for Beijing.
Was the White House aware? President Trump says he learned about the situation “not too long ago.” But according to The New York Times, intelligence officials warned him about Alice Huang in late 2025. The paper also reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed Trump on intelligence linking the two aboard Air Force One in May, shortly before Jensen Huang joined the president’s delegation to Beijing.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed Thursday to testify before Congress over national security concerns regarding the scandal. Here’s a closer look at how much Trump knew — and what could happen next.
Digging deeper: As news of a third affair broke, I hopped on Substack Live with journalist Stephanie Ruhle to break down everything going on and how this story turned from a sex scandal to a full-blown national security debacle. Tune in here. |

The man who shot and killed one person and wounded four others in Washington yesterday has been identified as Dr. Matt Lambert, 55. According to the Washington Post, Charelle Ferguson, a manager at the Metropole condos, called Lambert after the shooting to see whether he was OK. He said he was sick of mold and water damage in his unit, and “The only way people will pay attention, you have to do something.” He then confessed to the shooting. The police found Lambert at home, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The man Lambert killed has been identified as building manager James Stuart, 46. He was found dead in the ground floor gym.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen has become the first Democrat to challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer for majority leader. “In this election, the American people called for change. They called for a change from Donald Trump’s disastrous policies, but even bigger than that, a change from the status quo that isn’t working for working people,” he said. Schumer has led the Senate Democratic caucus since 2017. He is unpopular with many of the party's base, who find his often conciliatory attitude toward Republicans — particularly given unlawful actions carried out during Trump's second administration — deeply frustrating. Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed endorsed Van Hollen last night.
Microsoft said early this morning that attempts to fix an outage that has prevented millions of people around the world from doing their jobs are "not going as expected." The tech giant stressed that the outage, which has affected access to Outlook email, Microsoft Teams, and other essential workplace tools, was not caused by a cybersecurity breach. Early this morning, it reported that it has "observed marginal success" in fixing the problem. "We’re continuing to monitor activity across regions to evaluate server status and determine actions that can be taken to improve capacity," it said.

But I've recently learned that strength alone may not be enough to keep us active and independent as we age. Power is another important factor, and it can make all the difference when it comes to preventing falls and navigating everyday life. Here's what I'm learning about staying strong as I get older — and why I may need to rethink my workouts.

I've been obsessed with Flamingo Estate lately, and I've been using this gift set all the time. It pairs a viscous, fig-infused balsamic vinegar with a rich fennel olive oil, striking the perfect balance between sweet and savory. You can drizzle it over even the simplest salad to elevate the flavor, but here's a tip you'll have to trust me on: Try it on vanilla ice cream!
