Texas has launched a partnership with Turning Point USA to create chapters of the right-wing organization on every high school campus in the state. Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Turning Point USA Senior Director Josh Thifault revealed the initiative during a news conference on Monday. They did not outline any plans that would require schools to initiate the clubs, but Abbott said that he expects “meaningful disciplinary action” to take place against “any stoppage of TPUSA in the great state of Texas.” The partnership marks the latest attempt by Republican officials to push education further to the right, after years of them accusing public schools of indoctrinating students with left-leaning beliefs.

China hardliners in Washington slammed the Trump administration for its decision to allow Nvidia to ship its second most advanced AI chip to China, citing concerns Beijing could harness the technology to supercharge its military. President Donald Trump announced the move to allow H200 sales to China in a social media post on Monday, adding that the U.S. would collect a 25% fee on such sales, and that AMD and Intel would get approval to sell similar chips there. The decision "puts our competitive edge up for sale, all for a 25% cut of chip exports," said Brad Carson, a former Under Secretary of the Army. "When China starts supplying their military with AI built on U.S. chips, the world will regret this decision." The move is the most dramatic example yet of Trump's new push towards relaxing restrictions on sales of advanced American AI technology to China, as he seeks expanded overseas markets for U.S. companies and as he faces Beijing's imposition of export controls on rare earth minerals, key ingredients for manufacturing a vast array of technology in the U.S. and abroad. It also marks a dramatic reversal from his first term, when Trump drew international attention by cracking down on Chinese access to U.S. technology, citing claims Beijing steals American intellectual property and harnesses commercially obtained technology to bolster its military, which Beijing denies. But the administration, led by White House AI czar David Sacks, now argues that shipping advanced AI chips to China discourages Chinese competitors like Huawei [HWT.UL] from redoubling efforts to catch up with Nvidia and AMD's most advanced chip designs. If, in five years, AI chips made by sanctioned Chinese telecoms equipment giant Huawei were everywhere, "that means we lost ... We can't let that happen," he said at an event in January. But many in Washington disagree. Stewart Baker, a former Homeland Security and National Security Agency official, said the notion that the U.S. can keep China dependent on U.S. chips by letting them have the H200 is “a delusion.” “There’s no world in which they are not going to continue to press as hard as possible to have a domestic industry that will ultimately have as its goal the bankruptcy of Nvidia and the dependence of the United States on Chinese AI,” Baker said. Saif Khan, who served as director of Technology and National Security at the White House National Security Council under former President Joe Biden, echoed the remarks. Allowing H200 sales to China "could significantly erode America's advantages (in AI) and supercharge China's military modernization." But some China hawks see the impact as more limited, including James Mulvenon, a Chinese linguist and military expert who authored a report that helped convince the first Trump administration to sanction Chinese chip manufacturer SMIC in 2020. "Regardless of this decision, the Chinese government has made it clear that it is not their long-term strategic goal to be dependent on Nvidia or any other Western technology, so these gains will likely be transitory,” he said.

President Donald Trump's administration is threatening to pull federal funding for public transportation in Chicago unless the city tightens security after a man allegedly set a woman on fire inside a commuter train in November. Federal Transit Authority Administrator Marc Molinaro sent a letter Monday to Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. JB Pritzker demanding the Chicago Transit Authority develop and implement an updated safety plan by Dec. 19. The letter did not call for any specific changes. The demand comes after a man riding a Blue Line L commuter train on Nov. 17 doused fellow passenger Bethany MaGee with gasoline from a plastic drink bottle as she sat with her back to him, according to court filings. He then chased her through the train car and set her on fire. The man then got off the train at the next stop in downtown Chicago and walked away as MaGee, 26, stumbled out and fell to the ground. She suffered severe burns but survived. Police arrested 50-year-old Lawrence Reed of Chicago the next morning. Federal prosecutors charged him with committing a terrorist attack, which carries a maximum sentence of life. Online court records did not list an attorney for him. Information provided to The Associated Press by the Cook County Circuit Court shows more than 60 criminal cases filed against Reed since 1993, ranging from traffic, trespassing and drug possession offenses to more serious charges involving violent behavior — including at least 15 battery and assault cases and at least two arson cases. At the time of the train attack, Reed was on electronic monitoring in an active battery case. Authorities say he hit a hospital social worker in the face in August. The Cook County chief judge’s office pointed to state law that limits strictly limits judges from denying the release of defendants ahead of their trials. Molinaro said in his letter that it was “unconscionable” that Reed was released in the battery case and the attack on MaGee reflects “systemic failures in both leadership and accountability on all levels that cannot be tolerated.” “I will not accept the brutal assault of an innocent 26-year-old woman as an inevitable cost of providing public transportation,” he wrote. Asked for comment, Chicago Transit Authority officials responded with an email saying the agency had received the letter and “will respond within the requested timeline.” The email did not elaborate. The AP also left messages with the mayor and the governor's offices on Tuesday morning. Chicago and other Democratic-led cities have been the focus of intense criticism from Trump and his administration, who have characterized them as crime-ridden despite steep drop in violent crime after a pandemic-era spike. The administration in October announced it was withholding $2.1 billion for Chicago infrastructure projects, including expansion plans for the Red Line L commuter train. The project would have established stops in some of the city's poorest neighborhoods. White House budget officials said then that they wanted to ensure funding wasn't moving through race-based contracting. The administration withheld $18 billion for New York infrastructure the same week. Pritzker has long been one of Trump's loudest critics. The president's crackdown on immigrants in Chicago has only heightened tensions. Pritzker has resisted Trump's National Guard deployment, and Trump called the governor “a fat slob” during his ceremonial Thanksgiving turkey pardons.

The U-S and Ukraine do not see eye-to-eye on how to end Russia’s war with Ukraine. The peace plan proposed by the Trump administration calls for Ukraine to cede territory to Russia. President Trump told Politico that Moscow has the “upper hand” in the war and that Ukraine needs to cut a deal and start “accepting things.” But Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is resisting U-S pressure for compromise and has reaffirmed his refusal to give up land. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine continue to exchange drone attacks.

A federal judge says the Justice Department can publicly release investigative materials from a sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime confidante of Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer ruled Tuesday after the Justice Department in November asked two judges in New York to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits, along with investigative materials that could amount to hundreds or thousands of previously unreleased documents. He’s the second judge to allow the Justice Department to publicly disclose previously secret Epstein-related records.

Immigration lawyers say arrests of Afghan immigrants are increasing in the wake of a shooting that killed two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. The suspect in the attack is an Afghan national. Reports indicate roughly two dozen recent arrests, mostly in Northern California. Those who work with Afghan communities warn that the enforcement surge amounts to collective punishment for a single individual’s actions. The federal government has also introduced sweeping new immigration measures following the attack, citing security concerns.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has officially designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations, one of the largest Muslim civil rights groups in the U.S., as a foreign terrorist organization. His executive order also applies the same label to the Muslim Brotherhood. The order prohibits the groups — and anyone who provides them material support — from receiving state contracts, jobs, or funding from Florida government agencies. Neither group is designated as terrorist by the U.S. federal government. Supporters say the move targets foreign influence, while critics warn it could unfairly target civil rights advocacy.

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has launched a campaign for the U.S. Senate in Texas. Crockett’s announcement Monday came after fellow Democrat and former Rep. Colin Allred ended his Senate campaign to run for a House seat. Texas is critical to Democrats’ long-shot hopes of reclaiming a Senate majority in next year’s elections, and GOP incumbent John Cornyn is facing the toughest primary race of his 24-year Senate career against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and two-term Rep. Wesley Hunt. Crockett still faces state Rep. James Talarico for the Democratic nod. Crockett has a national profile as one of Congress’ most outspoken Democrats and a frequent target of GOP attacks.
