Just FYI, if ICANN is implicated in the TikTok ban, then the service is truly dead. ICANN is in charge of all domain TLDs. They decide which one exists and who manages them. If TikTok could just purchase a non-American domain, that would be enabling the distribution of TikTok.
Food for thought.

It's worth noting that this is part of why the right has done so well overtaking this country. The Republicans have done a great job crafting this image of being an incredibly inclusive party, whereas Democrats have crafted the exact opposite image for themselves.
The Dems blew it.

Republicans have officially won control of the House of Representatives. Now the only limit to the Republican’s powers is the Filibuster, should it continue to exist.

This is the agency that enforces the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. If he really does go through with this, I’ll be watching to see who gets this responsibility, if anyone.
President-elect Donald Trump has promised sweeping changes to federal agencies, but there’s one he wants to do away with altogether: the Department of Education.
Trump pledged to close the Education Department. What would that mean?
The Department of Education provides about 10% of K-12 funding, enforces civil rights laws and runs the $1.6 trillion student loan program.

This is a big reason Green Party voters voted the way they did, by the way. Jill Stein actually spoke out for Palestinians.
The Biden administration will continue to arm Israel — even after it failed to meet the U.S. deadline on allowing aid into Gaza.

It has to be pointed out that the reason Harris lost this election so decisively is because nobody actually voted for her as the nominee to begin with. She wasn’t even on the ballot.
Anyone who recognized the importance of this wasn’t surprised by the Trump victory.

The Senate party makeup is now officially known. 47-53 Democrat-Republican.
With this slim majority, should the filibuster remain in place, Republican power will be strong, but not absolute. Only time will tell if this situation will change.

This is Section 4 of H.R.9495, and appears to have been inserted as a poison pill. Section 2 postpones tax filing deadlines for those who are wrongfully detained abroad, and Section 3 allows for refunds of penalties paid by those as well.
Actual emergency. The bill would grant the executive branch (technically, Treasury Dept.) "unilateral authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit deemed to be a 'terrorist supporting organization.'"

It has to be noted that even if I’m correct that this term will be basically the same as his previous one, that’s still a lot of damage we’ll have to endure. He already committed crimes.

I know it hasn't been called yet, but I'm saying it now: Donald Trump has won this election. Four more years of that chaos.
I'm going to bed. I'm expecting to wake up to a similar result in the House. We're getting a Republican trifecta.
