Live updates: TikTok restoring service to US, Gaza ceasefire begins, Trump to take office
TikTok said on Sunday that it is "in the process" of restoring service in the United States hours after the popular video-sharing platform went dark.
President-elect Trump will officially return to Washington, set to be inaugurated on Monday for his second term in the White House as the Republican Party trifecta takes form.
In the Middle East, Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas struck a ceasefire deal on Wednesday, an agreement which is expected to start on Sunday, will bring peace to the region marred with warfare for 15 months.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) appeared on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday” where he said President-elect Trump is entering the White House as a “different Donald Trump” from the man who took office eight years ago. He also said he supports passing Trump’s agenda in a two-bill approach rather than the “one big, beautiful bill” approach.
Plus, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he “won’t commit” to sending California disaster aid without conditions, even as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) insists his state needs it for wildfire relief. He also vowed that there will be “hell to pay” if Hamas violates the ceasefire deal struck recently with Israel.
