☆ Congress just passed a potential TikTok ban. Here’s what happens next
  + stars: | 2024-04-23 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Washington CNN —Congress finalized legislation on Tuesday that could lead to a nationwide TikTok ban, escalating a massive threat to the company’s US operations. What does the TikTok legislation do? The earlier TikTok bill had been passed by the House, but it stalled in the Senate. In a procedural move, House Republicans this month attached the revised TikTok bill to the foreign aid package in hopes of forcing the Senate to vote on the TikTok legislation. Bundling the bill with the foreign aid — a top US priority — fast-tracked the TikTok bill and made it more likely to pass.

Photo: Mariam Zuhaib/Associated PressWith Mike Johnson as House speaker, Republicans can return to legislating. Chief among their priorities should be tackling the nation’s dire fiscal state. That includes trillion-dollar annual deficits, entitlement programs hurtling toward insolvency, and $33 trillion in national debt. Mr. Johnson says he intends to create a bipartisan commission to study the latter issue. Republicans will soon face a familiar quandary: Reducing deficits will require cutting popular social programs, raising taxes, or both.

☆ Will Republicans Defend the Supreme Court?
  + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Photo: Mariam Zuhaib/Associated PressSenate Democrats can’t accept that the Supreme Court no longer does their policy bidding, so they’re trying to discredit it. The latest effort is a subpoena threat against the friends of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito . Led by Sheldon Whitehouse and his spokesman Dick Durbin , the Judiciary Committee has been threatening subpoenas against Harlan Crow , Leonard Leo and Robin Arkley II . Their supposed crime: bestowing “lavish, undisclosed gifts” on the Justices, enabling “private access to the justices” while “preventing public scrutiny,” and contributing to a Supreme Court “ethical crisis of its own making.”

The Supreme Court will hear arguments over whether federal law prohibiting individuals under domestic-violence protective orders from possessing firearms violates the Second Amendment. Photo: Mariam Zuhaib/Associated PressWASHINGTON—The Supreme Court said Friday it would decide two gun-related cases, adding to a docket that already includes a major follow up to its 2022 opinion curbing gun regulations under an expanded view of the Second Amendment. In brief unsigned orders, the court said it would hear the Biden administration’s appeal of a circuit court ruling that so-called bump stocks, which can convert semiautomatic weapons to function automatically, can’t be regulated as machine guns under the Gun Control Act of 1968. The court also agreed to hear the National Rifle Association’s appeal of a circuit court decision throwing out its lawsuit against a New York state official the gun group alleges discouraged insurance companies from doing business with it.

☆ Live updates: Senate begins process to vote on US debt ceiling deal

Sen. Peter Welch, Sen. Joni Ernst, and Sen. Mitt Romney. Mariam Zuhaib/AP; Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/Bonnie Cash/ReutersSenators from both parties on Thursday night defended their decision to support the debt ceiling deal, despite their concerns about the legislation. Sen. Peter Welch, a Democrat, noted that while he had some concerns about the deal, he planned to vote for it anyway. “I'd like to get rid of the debt ceiling, because this hostage-taking sort of approach is becoming institutionalized, very dangerous to the country. I think that Kevin McCarthy negotiated a good deal – for now,” the Iowa Republican said.

☆ The US promised the Cherokee Nation a seat in Congress in a treaty that fueled the Trail of Tears. 188 years later, the Cherokee say lawmakers may finally fulfill that promise.
  + stars: | 2023-02-04 | by ( Kelsey Vlamis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
The Cherokee Nation was promised a seat in Congress in the 1835 Treaty of New Echota. The Cherokee Nation appears closer than ever to finally seating a delegate. She said lawmakers asked tough questions, but she felt "very optimistic" the Cherokee delegate was something the committee ultimately supported. The Cherokee Nation is continuing to galvanize support and encourages US citizens to reach out to their representatives in Congress and tell them to fulfill the treaty promise. "I think the stars are aligned for a Cherokee Nation delegate to be seated," she said.

The 2024 Senate elections — which will run concurrent with the presidential race — are approaching. In 2024, 34 senators will be up for reelection: 20 Democrats, 11 Republicans, and three Independents. But Sinema's election itself is another matter; she has not yet announced whether she will run for reelection in 2024. He has not yet decided if he will run in 2024, but Republicans have been eyeing his seat for years. But he has done it before, winning in 2018 despite Republicans going all-out to defeat him.
☆ Advocates Urge Congress to Pass Permanent Residency Status for Afghans

Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesConvincing Republican senatorsThe House version of the Afghan Adjustment Act has 143 co-sponsors, including 10 Republicans. Demonstrators gather to support Afghan evacuees outside the Capitol on Nov. 16, 2022. At the moment, one prospect to advance the Afghan Adjustment Act is by attaching it to that larger spending bill, advocates say. But negotiations on the omnibus are ongoing, and whether the Afghan Adjustment Act will be included is up in the air. Yet without a deal by then, passage of the Afghan Adjustment Act appears doomed, advocates say, keeping Afghan evacuees in perpetual legal limbo.
