Welcome to Thursday, April 25th, readers near and far...

Biden signed a bill that approved aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, which could lead to a ban on TikTok. 

The military aid package is worth $95 billion, providing resources to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Biden is facing heavy criticism for continuing to arm Israel as it proceeds in its war against Hamas, which has left more than 35,000 Palestinians dead in its wake.

The newly signed bill requires TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app’s U.S. operations. If the Beijing-based company fails to do so, the app will be banned nationwide, blocking app stores and web hosts from distributing it.

Do you support the bill?
