Senate passes bill forcing TikTok's parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signature

apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-congress-bill-1c48466df82f3684bd6eb21e61ebcb8d

Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Seattle hospital won’t turn over gender-affirming care records in lawsuit settlement with Texas

apnews.com/article/seattle-hospital-texas-records-paxton-e1d308835657c40e2e176d7f11d7f749

Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care

Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.

Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.

Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.

Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

Quick Glance: Wave of Pro-Palestinian Protests at US Universities

The number of pro-Palestinian student protests at American universities is increasing as the unrest in Gaza continues. Despite disciplinary measures and police interventions, the demonstrations persist. Protesters have set up encampments on more than a dozen campuses, urging universities to divest from companies profiting from the Israeli occupation.

Police in New York arrested over 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators at New York University on Monday night, following the establishment of an encampment earlier that day outside the Stern School of Business.

The ongoing protests have garnered strong condemnation from lawmakers. On Wednesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott criticized a protest at the University of Texas in Austin. The White House condemned antisemitism on college campuses in a statement regarding Passover on Sunday, refraining from specifying particular institutions or incidents.

A new federal directive from the USDA states that dairy cows transported across state lines must be tested for bird flu.

Following the discovery of bird flu virus fragments in pasteurized milk, the FDA initiated a survey of commercially sold milk.

The presence of the virus in the commercial milk supply indicates previous measures were insufficient in controlling its spread.

In addition to testing dairy cows before transport, the Wednesday's order mandates state veterinary labs to report positive tests to federal health authorities.

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.

Noncitizen voting isn't an issue in federal elections, regardless of conspiracy theories. Here's why

Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'

House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

Despite existing bans and rare noncitizen votes, the debate aims to boost Trump's presidential candidacy.

Laws from 1996 prohibit noncitizen voting in federal and state elections, yet some municipalities in some states allow it.

Trump and allies falsely claim noncitizens vote in elections, while data shows minimal incidents. The debate serves as a political maneuver and distracts from actual election issues.

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
