Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: Contentious Press Conference: Johnson and GOP Lawmakers Heckled at Columbia

A press conference at Columbia University was marked by loud heckling against Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP lawmakers who condemned antisemitism and pro-Palestine demonstrations on the campus.

The GOP lawmakers faced boos from protesters and struggled to be heard as they criticized the treatment of Jewish students on the campus and directly addressed the student demonstrators.

Johnson and his GOP colleagues called for the resignation of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, resulting in loud boos from the audience.

After an Orthodox rabbi advised Jewish students to return home, the university announced a shift to hybrid learning for the remainder of the semester until the situation on and around campus significantly improved.

Quick Glance: Investigation into Gifts to Supreme Court Justices: Leo Refuses Senate Subpoena

As part of a months-long inquiry into undisclosed gifts to Supreme Court justices, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo on Thursday, which he promptly rejected as “politically motivated.”

Following reports that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. accepted free luxury travel and gifts from Crow, Leo, and conservative donor Robin Arkley II without disclosure, the committee voted to authorize subpoenas for Leo and Texas billionaire Harlan Crow along party lines.

Democrats on the committee initiated an investigation into the justices' relationships with private benefactors after ProPublica's April report last year revealed Thomas' failure to disclose free luxury vacations and private jet travel from Crow over many years, and Leo's arrangement of a luxury fishing trip for Alito in 2008.

With Leo's rejection, Democrats would need to hold a Senate vote to seek court enforcement of the subpoena - a nearly impossible task in a narrowly divided chamber requiring 60 votes to break a filibuster.

Quick Glance: Overcoming Hamas Challenge Amid Israel's Approach to Victory

Despite the Israeli prime minister's assertion of being on the brink of defeating Hamas, indications suggest the cruel terror group will emerge undefeated.

Persistently emphasizing relentless pursuit of 'total victory,' Netanyahu's aspirations may not align with reality.

Hamas stands as a sophisticated underground organization - in the most literal and metaphorical sense.

Israel's failure to devise a post-war strategic plan for governing Gaza echoes the missteps of the Americans in Baghdad in 2003.

Arizona Republicans block another Democratic effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban: "The last thing we should be doing today is rushing," a GOP leader said.

abcnews.go.com/Politics/arizona-lawmakers-repeal-controversial-1864-abortion-ban/story

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Trump to hold Mar-a-Lago joint appearance with Johnson amid speakership threat: The meeting comes days after Trump helped spike the Johnson-backed FISA bill.

abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-hold-mar-lago-joint-appearance-johnson-amid/story

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.
