National News November 12, 2026

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday, capping a spectacular downfall for a poster boy of the artificial intelligence boom whose exit following reports of extramarital affairs now thrusts the chipmaker into an uncertain future.

Minnesota News November 12, 2026

The Trump administration recently said it’s permanently denying over $112 million of Medicaid money to Minnesota, part of the $259 million it had threatened to claw back in February. The denied payments are for services provided from July 2025 to September 2025 and have largely been paid out.
