#Trump has signed an executive order to extend the TikTok ban for another 75 days‼️🤯👀

Earlier this year, the #UnitedStates has passed legislation requiring TikTok to be sold by its #Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or face a nationwide ban. Lawmakers cite national security concerns, claiming that #TikTok could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. ByteDance has until around mid-2025 to sell TikTok before it would be removed from U.S. app stores. The company is expected to challenge the law in court, arguing it violates free speech rights.

The Trump administration has admitted 49 white South Africans to the U.S. as refugees, citing “government-sponsored racial discrimination,” according to a senior State Department official. ⁠
⁠
Most of the group are Afrikaners from farming communities. President Donald Trump ordered their resettlement through an executive action titled “Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa,” claiming they face violence and economic exclusion. ⁠
⁠
The move comes amid an ongoing dispute over South Africa’s land reform efforts. In 2017, an audit found that white South Africans—who make up about 7% of the population—own roughly 75% of individually held farmland.⁠
⁠
A 2025 law allows limited expropriation without compensation, which the Trump administration framed as targeting whites. South African officials say the policy is intended to address the legacy of apartheid, during which the Afrikaner-led government denied Black South Africans land rights, political representation, and basic freedoms under a formal system of racial segregation that lasted from 1948 to 1994.⁠
⁠
South Africa’s government rejected Trump’s refugee designation, calling the persecution claims “completely false” and politically motivated. “There is no data at all that backs that there is persecution of white South Africans,” said Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola. ⁠
⁠
Critics in the U.S., including Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, questioned why this group was prioritized while refugee programs for people fleeing war and famine remain suspended. ⁠

President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to accept a 13-year-old Boeing 747-8 from Qatar’s royal family for temporary use as Air Force One, according to unnamed sources cited by ABC News. ⁠
⁠
The jet, described by Trump as a “very public and transparent transaction,” is expected to be modified by the U.S. Air Force for presidential use before being transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation by January 2029. ⁠
⁠
Trump previously toured the aircraft in Florida, and the estimated $400 million plane will be outfitted with security upgrades by L3Harris.⁠
⁠
The legality of the arrangement has drawn scrutiny due to constitutional restrictions on gifts from foreign governments. ⁠
⁠
According to sources, Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House counsel David Warrington concluded that because the gift is directed to the government and not conditioned on an official act, it does not violate the emoluments clause or federal bribery laws. ⁠
⁠
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration is following “all applicable laws,” while Qatar’s Ministry of Defense is still in talks with the Pentagon regarding the handover.⁠
⁠
Democratic lawmakers responded critically. Sen. Chuck Schumer posted, “Nothing says ‘America First’ like Air Force One, brought to you by Qatar,” while Rep. Adam Schiff referenced the Constitution’s Title of Nobility clause. ⁠
⁠
Trump, meanwhile, argued that rejecting the gift would be “stupid” and claimed Democrats want taxpayers to “pay TOP DOLLAR” instead. ⁠
⁠
The current Air Force One fleet, contracted for replacement since 2018, has faced delays, with new jets not expected until 2027.⁠

The Supreme Court lifted a lower court’s restriction on the Trump administration’s policy of deporting migrants to third countries, even when those individuals have no ties to the destination. The decision allows the administration to resume removals like a recent blocked flight to South Sudan, where immigration officials had stationed personnel in Djibouti while awaiting legal clarity. The majority provided no explanation, prompting a sharp dissent from the Court’s liberal justices.⁠
⁠
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, criticized the ruling, writing that the Court was “rewarding lawlessness.” She added, “Apparently, the Court finds the idea that thousands will suffer violence in farflung locales more palatable than the remote possibility that a District Court exceeded its remedial powers.” The case originated from a challenge filed by noncitizens alleging due process violations, with U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy issuing a nationwide injunction in April.⁠
⁠
Solicitor General D. John Sauer described the judge’s order as lacking a legal foundation and interfering with national security efforts to remove “some of the most heinous criminals.” The administration has argued that these deportations are lawful and critical to enforcement. While the injunction did not mandate return to the U.S., it required that migrants be given the opportunity to raise legal objections before removal. The matter now returns to an appeals court.⁠
