BREAKING: TikTok Goes Dark in America as Trump Promises Revival

TikTok ceased operations in the United States just hours before a legislated ban was scheduled to take effect. Users accessing the platform were notified that recently enacted legislation prevented TikTok usage. The message referenced President-elect Trump's potential intervention, stating, "We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office." The platform's shutdown followed its earlier warning of going offline unless the outgoing Biden administration provided assurances against ban enforcement. Trump, set to assume office Monday, indicated he would "most likely" grant TikTok a 90-day extension from the ban. Users reported TikTok's removal from U.S. Apple and Google app stores, while TikTok.com stopped displaying video content. The White House, through Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, stated the incoming administration would be responsible for further action. The Supreme Court […]

Private Companies Launch Dual Moon Missions via SpaceX

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday at 06:09 GMT, carrying lunar landers from two private companies - US-based Firefly Aerospace and Japanese firm ispace.

Former SafeSport Investigator Faces Serious Criminal Charges

A former U.S. Center for SafeSport investigator and ex-police officer has been arrested on multiple felony charges, including rape and sex trafficking. Jason Krasley, who previously served as an Allentown, Pennsylvania, police officer, was taken into custody Friday for alleged crimes committed between 2011 and 2015 during his time on the force. The arrest comes after Krasley's termination from SafeSport following an earlier arrest for allegedly stealing $5,500 from a police drug bust. The Denver-based SafeSport Center, established in 2017 to handle sex-abuse cases in Olympic sports, had hired Krasley in 2021 after he left the Allentown police department. SafeSport CEO Ju'Riese Colon expressed shock at the allegations, stating that the organization maintains high standards for staff members given their role in protecting athletes. The center has initiated a third-party audit of cases handled by Krasley and is consulting experts […]

Trump’s Shadow Looms Over Greenland’s Quest for Freedom

The debate over Greenland's future has intensified following Donald Trump's recent statements about acquiring the island. From the ice-covered fjords of Nuuk to remote settlements, Greenlanders are responding to these developments while navigating their path toward potential independence. In Kapisillit, a settlement of around 40 people, local perspectives reflect the broader sentiment. Church elder Kaaleeraq Ringsted, 73, maintains a firm stance while tending to his cod: "Greenland is not for sale." His connection to the land spans generations of fishing and hunting traditions. Donald Trump Jr.'s brief four-hour visit to Nuuk on the family's private jet garnered mixed reactions. Local businessman Jorgen Boassen welcomed the visit, viewing it as an opportunity for trade and cooperation. However, many locals remain skeptical of external interests in their homeland. The situation has amplified discussions about Greenland's independence from Denmark. Kuno Fencker, an MP […]

Proposed Federal Rule Could Dramatically Reduce Nicotine in Cigarettes

The Biden administration is preparing to propose new regulations limiting nicotine levels in cigarettes, expected to be announced as early as Monday. This initiative comes after the administration's previous commitment to ban menthol cigarettes remained unfulfilled. The proposed regulation would focus specifically on traditional cigarettes, excluding other tobacco products such as e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement therapies. While specific nicotine reduction targets haven't been disclosed, research indicates levels may need to be reduced by approximately 95% to minimize addiction potential. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identify cigarette smoking as the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, resulting in over 480,000 deaths annually. Research from a 2018 FDA study projects that implementing a nicotine cap could prevent 16 million people from developing smoking addiction by 2060, potentially reaching 33.1 million by 2100. The initiative's origins trace back […]

Steel Giant’s CEO Makes Desperate Appeal to Trump After Biden’s $15B Deal Rejection

The $15 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel by Japan's Nippon Steel has hit a significant roadblock after President Biden blocked the deal, citing national security concerns. Following the decision, both companies have initiated legal action against the administration. U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt has turned to President-elect Donald Trump, hoping for a different outcome under the incoming administration. During a CNBC interview, Burritt expressed optimism about Trump's potential business-oriented perspective on the deal, despite Trump's opposition to the acquisition.

Federal Judge’s Last-Minute Decision Throws Trump Investigation into Chaos

A federal judge has temporarily halted the release of special counsel Jack Smith's investigative report concerning President-elect Donald Trump's classified documents case. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued a temporary injunction on Tuesday, which will remain active until three days after the 11th Circuit Court makes its ruling on a separate blocking request. This separate request comes from Trump's co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who filed their motion Monday evening, referencing Cannon's earlier decision regarding Smith's appointment's constitutionality. Judge Cannon stated her decision aims to "preserve the status quo" pending the higher court's determination. Her order specifically restricts Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice, Special Counsel Smith, and all associated personnel from sharing the Final Report or its drafts beyond the Department of Justice's boundaries. This restriction extends to any information or conclusions in the report […]

US Plans Humanitarian Aid Changes for Syria, Sanctions to Remain Intact

According to sources close to the matter, the United States is preparing to announce modifications to its humanitarian aid restrictions for Syria while maintaining its existing sanctions framework. The Biden administration's forthcoming policy adjustment will ease limitations on providing essential services, including electricity and basic aid. The policy revision comes after discussions between US officials and Syria's new governing faction, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which assumed control following the December 8 uprising that ended the Assad family's five-decade rule. While HTS remains classified as a terrorist organization by the United States, the group has publicly distanced itself from its previous Al-Qaeda connections. Under the new provisions, the US Treasury Department will be authorized to grant waivers to organizations and businesses delivering humanitarian supplies and basic utilities such as water and electricity. The Wall Street Journal reports that these changes, approved […]

“Biden Implements Extensive Offshore Drilling Restrictions

President Joe Biden has banned new offshore oil and gas drilling across major portions of US coastal waters, preceding Donald Trump's upcoming presidency. The policy encompasses the Atlantic coastline, eastern Gulf of Mexico, Pacific waters off California, Oregon, and Washington, and portions of Alaska's Bering Sea. This action joins several recent climate-related policies enacted by the Biden administration. Despite current record extraction levels, Trump's campaign promoted increased domestic fossil fuel production to reduce gas prices. "Drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary for our nation's energy needs," Biden stated, citing concerns from coastal communities and businesses. The ban, implemented under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, covers 625 million acres. A 2019 court ruling established that presidents cannot reverse previous drilling bans under this law, potentially complicating Trump's ability to […]
