If successful, new legislation would force tiktok s chinese owner, bytedance, to find a new non chinese owner or face removal from us app stores. Ahead of a house vote on the bill on wednesday, lawmakers received a classified briefing from intelligence officials on the administrations worries about the video app and how it could potentially use data it collects from americans. Democrats said the stakes couldnt be higher. My concerns is they will try to influence the election and elect donald tiktok trump. Among those opposing the ban, president ial hopeful donald trump. Still, republicans backing the bill largely dismissed concerns about trumps backlash weighing the party from getting the legislation done. Trumps comments actually, you can square them with what the bill does, to put differently, to put a finer point on it, the bill doesnt shutdown tiktok and force all of tiktok s users onto facebook.

Airline says theyre investigating them individually, but nonetheless, as its concerning for a lot of the passengers especially the ones on these slides, you mentioned the latest one that was yesterday. It was a flight from San Francisco to mexico city and and the airline saying, you know, there are three hydraulic systems and one of them had the issues, so they diverted that flight landed here at lax at around 430 local fulltime.

Its simply he could not be as a matter of law, as a matter of constitutional interpretation, that every state gets to do what it wants, because otherwise that would leave us with a quote, patchwork of different states doing Different Things according to the decision. So its a rare 90 opinion and i think they hit the nail on the head here now we saw two concurring opinions, one by Justice Amy Coney barrett, and one by the three liberal leaning justices.

And when she describes how donald trump delivered his Hush Money Payments to her. And i think r. That the Supreme Court did today is helping donald trump get out of the crushing weight of half A Billion Dollars of civil judgments he is now facing in new york. Today, donald trump said cihe i not rich enough to pay those judgments, after previously testifying under oath that he is rich enough to pay those
