Deep dives
TikTok Ban Bill Gains Support in Congress
A bill to ban TikTok in the US due to national security concerns has gained unanimous support in Congress. The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 50 to zero in favor of the measure, requiring TikTok to be sold off from its Chinese controlled parent company ByteDance to remain operational in the US. TikTok's urging of its 150 million US users to protest the potential ban led to a flood of calls to congressional offices. The bill, supported by Republican Representative Kathy McMorris Rogers, emphasizes the need to prevent foreign adversaries from collecting and manipulating data on Americans through such apps. The bipartisan bill is expected to be voted on next week.
Gold Star Father Arrested During Biden's Speech
A gold star father, Steve Nakui, was arrested after yelling out during President Biden's State of the Union speech to remind about the 13 Marines killed in Afghanistan. Nakui and other gold star families have been waiting for Biden to address the tragic deaths resulting from the chaotic withdrawal. The emotional outburst led to Nakui's removal from the gallery and misdemeanor protest charges. The incident sheds light on the families' frustrations over the lack of accountability for the failed withdrawal process and the tragic loss of their loved ones. The poignant moment during Biden's speech highlights the ongoing pain and unresolved issues faced by these gold star families.
