Controversial social network: US Senate also for possible ban on TikTok: The USA is taking action against the TikTok owners with an ultimatum ...

Quick Glance: Senate Passes Legislation Requiring Sale of TikTok's Parent Company or Face Ban

The Senate passed a bill that would compel TikTok's China-based parent company to sell the social media platform under the threat of a ban.

The bill now awaits President Joe Biden's signature, who has indicated that he will sign it on Wednesday.

The revised legislation extends ByteDance's deadline to sell TikTok to nine months, with a potential three-month extension if a sale is in progress.

The bill aims to prevent ByteDance from controlling TikTok's algorithm, which has been pivotal in making the platform a trendsetting phenomenon.

FTC votes to ban noncompete agreements for most workers: U.S. companies would no longer be able to bar employees from taking jobs with competitors under a rule ...

apnews.com/article/jobs-employers-noncompete-agreements-economy-pay-4d7b3eb8e143cfd52025c7f2f5259fc4

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: Biden Grants Overtime Pay to 4 Million US Workers

The Biden administration unveiled a rule requiring employers to pay overtime premiums to an estimated 4 million salaried workers earning less than $1,128 per week.

The salary threshold will be automatically adjusted every three years to reflect changes in average earnings.

The rule does not affect overtime requirements for hourly workers.

Quick Glance: Senate Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

The Senate has passed a $95 billion aid package for war assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and contentious debates over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.

The legislation also includes $26 billion for wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza, along with $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.

Senate Republicans and House Republicans collaborated to secure the aid for Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the potential dire consequences if Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression goes unchecked.

There was broad congressional support for the aid package, but leaders had to navigate strong opposition from conservatives questioning U.S. involvement in foreign wars and focusing on issues like migration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Quick Glance: Sibling Fatally Hit by Car at Birthday Party

A young brother and sister died, and several people were injured, some seriously, when a vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a young child's birthday party at a boat club in Berlin Township, Michigan, on Saturday.

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother died in the crash, as a 66-year-old woman drove about 25 feet into the building, according to Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough.

Three children and six adults were taken to hospitals with life-threatening injuries, while others received first aid on site and some were transported by private vehicles.

The driver was taken into custody and is suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing death. Further charges may be pending as the investigation continues.
