Republican senators Tom Cotton and Pete Ricketts said in a joint statement: "Now that the law has taken effect, there is no legal basis for any kind of 'extension' of its effective date. For TikTok to come back online in the future, ByteDance must agree to a sale that satisfies the law's qualified-divestiture requirements by severing all ties between TikTok and Communist China."

Start wearing down those steps in front of the Supreme Court.

The whole health care is much cheaper in China surprised no one.

We all know healthcare is way cheaper outside of US. And by we I mean those if us living outside the USA. China, Japan, South Korea and many others have waaaaay more affordable healthcare than murica. Tho probably not better.

Trump has done more for America on his first day than the previous administration did in 4 years.

Executive orders are little more than political pageantry. If he wants to have any real long term effect, he'll have to pass laws.
