hopefully soon Are there any outlets reporting this. I desperately want it to be true but am dubious from a tweet alone.

Retiring at end of term updated to retiring effective now What are the numbers after Buck leaves? I found currently 219 R and 213 D, so that would make it 218R? I’m just not sure the site I looked up has the most recent numbers. Can we get 5 more retirees?

I missed this and didn't realize he had resigned. 😑 I mean, once his investigation is complete, it's probably pretty SOP to leave the department, I would think

I don't have any specific knowledge amd I'm sorry if thst sounded like I was smacking you down, I just meant that the timing looks not great but I haven't heard any People Who Would Know mention this and, I feel like they would have. I may totally be wrong!

I may totally be wrong! Oh no, I didn't take it as a smack down at all. I'm hardly knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of these things, so I appreciate learning that it may just be par for the course rather than a calculated maneuver to protect the wrong people.

Excellent usage of time...
Also I have doubts, even if I am concerned about TT.

At lot going on in this thread if you still twitter. Nothing really about who though. The FBI and SS declined to testify.

My H is soooo anti TikTok that he's happy this is passing lol. I don't really care one way or another because I don't use TT. He does recognize there are many other important things that could be done but ... Congress needs to be thrown out and reset for so many reasons.

I'm inclined to think this is a bad bill. I don’t have/use tiktok myself but it is definitely a prime source of on the ground information (and disinformation as well). Who gains from a ban?

I think the biggest issue, from a national security perspective, is that it's China doing/owning it. Hence the they must sell the company.

The company is Chinese, maybe the guy is from Singapore? from NYT "The popular video app, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, is under pressure amid concerns over the handling of users' data. Efforts to Ban TikTok: Over the last year, lawmakers in the United States, Canada and Europe have escalated efforts to restrict access to the app, citing security threats."

I actually think because it is Chinese owned and the Chinese government can have a say in the sale, they won't divest. They don't want to give up the algorithm. It's too valuable.
