John Oliver is the latest to mock Nancy Pelosi for her widely ridiculed TikTok pun.
On HBO's 'Last Week Tonight,' the host brought up how the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would lead to a ban on TikTok if its China-based owner doesn't sell its stake.
The bill passed on concerns that the app poses a national security threat under the ownership of Chinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd.
US President Joe Biden condemns Israel for the deadly airstrike in Gaza that killed seven aid workers, including an American citizen. Biden expresses outrage, calling for a swift investigation and accountability. Israel's military chief acknowledges the airstrike as a grave mistake. Pelosi and Senator Murphy join in condemning the incident, urging Israel to ensure unimpeded aid flow to Gaza's civilians amidst the ongoing conflict.

The new bill gives TikTok parent company ByteDance nine months to sell the

A one-time, 90-day extension can
be granted by the president.
Without an extension, the earliest a ban
could be implemented is January 2025.
Some Democrats say that ByteDance would rather sell TikTok than be banned in America.

no more capitalistic entity than
an organization controlled by
the Chinese Communist Party.
They’re going to sell it, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a member of the

Young people will go on their
TikTok tomorrow and they’ll still
have it. And then the day after
that, they’ll still have it. And the
day after that, they’ll still have it.
If you like it, you’re going to keep it, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a member of the
Armed Services Committee, via NBC News.

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' has captured the attention of Georgia's Secretary of State. The season premiere of the final season of the HBO comedy featured Larry David being arrested for violating Georgia's election integrity law for giving his friend Leon Black's aunt a bottle of water while she waited in line to vote on a hot day in Atlanta. He's now facing a looming trial on the series. The storyline must have made its way to the state capitol, because last month Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, sent a letter to David addressing the plotline about the 2021 voting law.
