The US Senate has voted in favour of legislation that could ban TikTok in the country – if its Chinese owners refuse to sell. The bill passed by a wide margin in the Senate on 23 April after being voted through in the House of Representatives. But does the ban actually mean an end to TikTok in the US? How ...
The possibility of a ban on TikTok in the US has moved a step closer after the Senate agreed a landmark bill to force its China-based parent company into selling the app. The bill gives ByteDance nine months to sell the popular social media platform – with the possibility of a three-month extension to finalise a deal – or the ...
To hear Cornel West tell it, Joe Biden, whom West campaigned for in 2020, is complicit in war crimes occurring in Gaza. Jill Stein, whom West voted for in 2016, is no longer his ally.

The continued fervor of college protests against the Israel-Gaza war as it drags into its seventh month highlights the political challenges President Biden still faces from his unconditional support of Israel as he aims to strike a careful balance between condemning antisemitism on college campuses and supporting students’ right to protest.

Trump, the first former U.S. president to face a criminal trial, spent ...
Rep. Summer Lee, a far-left Democrat who has been critical of Israel’s military actions in Gaza, prevailed in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary election, which epitomized larger intraparty tensions over the Middle East and served as a test of Democratic voters’ attitudes about the war.
