House passes critical aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan along with a TikTok ban - eviltoast

The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel.

The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.

    Yes, Tik Tok is as bad as any other social media PLUS it’s directly controlled by a hostile nation state to the US. It should absolutely be banned and/or completely divested from China.

    Anyone saying this is unfair, go to China and see what their blocks look like for Western companies.

    Tik Tok is a terrible platform allowing such direct access to US citizens to a foreign government.
