Lawmakers had failed to act despite efforts to protect children online, safeguard users’ privacy and make companies more liable for content posted on their platforms, among other measures. But the TikTok ban reflects widespread concerns from lawmakers about China. TikTok has lobbied hard against the legislation, pushing the app’s 170 million U.S. users — many of whom are young — to call Congress and voice opposition.

Los Angeles already owns 14 large public housing developments, most of which are located in South LA, with a few in Boyle Heights, Chinatown, Pacoima, and San Pedro. They hold 6,518 units combined and are only available to tenants who earn up to $58,450 (the limit is higher for families). Government-owned housing that would serve a mix of incomes could help LA crawl out of its deepening affordability crisis, says Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin, who announced a broad package of housing legislation at City Hall today. Bars and taverns aren't typically known for having the best food in the world, but Grant Park's Republic Social House is attempting to raise its game. Republic has unveiled a new "chef-driven" menu after owner Megan Gilbert revamped the bar's cuisine.

Among the new dishes a bistro salad with grilled chicken, greens, red onion, sliced pear, goat cheese, and walnuts and crispy Brussels sprouts topped with cucumber wasabi dipping sauce.

Nadya Okamoto, a content creator who has roughly 4 million followers on TikTok, said she has been having conversations with other creators who are experiencing “so much anger and anxiety” about the bill and how it’s going to affect their lives. The 26-year-old, whose company, August, sells menstrual products and is known for her advocacy around destigmatizing menstrual periods, makes most of her income from TikTok. Texas’ ban was challenged last year by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, which argued in a lawsuit that the policy was impeding academic freedom because it extended to public universities. The company has indicated that it would likely go to court to try to block the law if it passes, arguing it would deprive the app’s millions of users of their 1st Amendment rights. He envisions buildings that avoid concentrating poverty in one area by serving mixed incomes—with tenants paying rents on a “sliding scale”—and locating homes near public transit with access to amenities and shops. That would be a radical departure from how the city has handled building affordable housing.

Republic Social House Rolls Out a New "Chef-Driven" Menu

But the ferocity of the pushback angered lawmakers on Capitol Hill, where there is broad concern about Chinese threats to the U.S. and where few members use the platform themselves. Right now, the city is on an affordable housing building blitz, thanks to a voter-approved, $1.2 billion bond initiative to help pay for the construction of 10,000 units of affordable and permanent supportive housing. Most of those units are being set aside for formerly homeless residents and come equipped with on-site services. Today, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, issued the following statement after a meeting with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and delegation of California mayors from the U.S.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed legislation Saturday that would ban TikTok in the United States if the popular social media platform’s China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake within a year, but don’t expect the app to go away anytime soon. The House has passed legislation that would ban TikTok in the United States if the popular social media platform’s China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake within a year, but don’t expect the app to go away any time soon. A standalone bill with a shorter, six-month selling deadline passed the House in March by an overwhelming bipartisan vote as Democrats and Republicans voiced national security concerns about the app’s owner, the Chinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd. Legislation that could ban TikTok if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake has won a major boost as House Republicans included it in a package of bills that would send U.S. aid to Ukraine and Israel. Since mid-March, TikTok has spent $5 million on TV ads opposing the legislation, according to AdImpact, an advertising tracking firm.

Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union have backed the app. “Congress cannot take away the rights of over 170 million Americans who use TikTok to express themselves, engage in political advocacy, and access information from around the world,” said Jenna Leventoff, a lawyer for the group. The U.S. government has not publicly provided evidence that shows TikTok shared U.S. user data with the Chinese government or tinkered with the company’s popular algorithm, which influences what Americans see. Members of both parties, along with intelligence officials, have worried that Chinese authorities could force ByteDance to hand over American user data or direct the company to suppress or boost TikTok content favorable to its interests. TikTok has denied assertions that it could be used as a tool of the Chinese government and has said it has not shared U.S. user data with Chinese authorities.

In 2020, federal courts blocked an executive order issued by then-President Donald Trump to ban TikTok after the company sued on the grounds that the order violated free speech and due process rights. His administration brokered a deal that would have had U.S. corporations Oracle and Walmart take a large stake in TikTok. The sale never went through for a number of reasons; one was China, which imposed stricter export controls on its technology providers. In 2020, federal courts blocked an executive order issued by then-President Trump to ban TikTok after the company sued on the grounds that the order violated free speech and due process rights. The bill’s quick path through Congress is extraordinary because it targets one company and because Congress has taken a hands-off approach to tech regulation for decades.

The ads have included a range of content creators, including a nun, extolling the positive impacts of the platform on their lives and arguing a ban would trample on the First Amendment. The company has also encouraged its users to contact Congress, and some lawmakers have received profanity-laced calls. The ads have included a diverse group of content creators, including a nun, extolling the positive impacts of the platform on their lives and arguing a ban would trample on the 1st Amendment. The company has good reason to think a legal challenge could be successful, having seen some success in previous legal fights over its operations in the U.S.. In November, a federal judge blocked a Montana law that would ban TikTok use across the state after the company and five content creators who use the platform sued.

The 26-year-old, whose company “August” sells menstrual products and is known for her advocacy around destigmatizing menstrual periods, makes most of her income from TikTok.

In Los Angeles County, 5,256 affordable homes converted to market-rate between 1997 and 2018, according to the California Housing Partnership. The partnership estimates that another 12,121 affordable homes are currently at risk of converting to market-rate in LA. “We need to be, in Los Angeles, treating housing as a human right, not as something to be traded,” Bonin said this morning, speaking with a coalition of about two dozen activists outside City Hall.

He said he thinks there could have been less restrictive ways to go after the company that wouldn’t result in a total ban or threaten free speech. "We've always been a great bar that happens to serve food, but now with the new menu, we're focusing on great food that happens to be served at a bar," Gilbert said. The House’s overwhelming vote to ban TikTok unless it is freed from Chinese control suggests that a ban might be coming soon. The first affordable apartments financed under that ballot measure opened in January, three years after the initiative passed. As of last year, according to the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, there were 45,384 people on the waiting list for public housing. The Homes Guarantee plan has the support of several local groups, including Strategic Actions for a Just Economy, LA Forward, and ACT-LA.

The company has good reason to think a legal challenge could be successful, having seen some success in previous legal fights over its operations in the U.S. “Our city’s homelessness and housing affordability crisis demands bold policies, including public investment in social housing that guarantees all families have a roof over their head,” ACT-LA director Laura Raymond said in a statement. Bonin’s package includes a measure that calls on city staffers to research European models for social housing and how they might be brought to Los Angeles. It suggests several potential funding streams, including new taxes on house-flipping and out-of-state real estate transactions.

Seeking a foodie getaway to a warm, beach destination? Along Alabama’s Gulf coast, food lovers will enjoy the abundant fresh seafood served with Southern hospitality. For your stay, I recommend the Island House Hotel Orange Beach – a DoubleTree by Hilton located along the soft, white sand beach and just a short drive from local restaurants.

My Stay at Island House Hotel Orange Beach

Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion all provided. Didn't use the pool, but it appeared to be very nice. Didn't take advantage of it, but there were frozen pizzas etc in the cooler by Starbucks. Would be nice if someone wanted to get one to microwave in the room for lunch rather than leaving the beach for a meal. All About the ExtrasWhile the hotel offers few extra frills, its gorgeous setting, friendly staff and proximity to area attractions make it a reliable base for a beach-centered vacation. As a no-deposit-required lodging available for short stays, it's a nice alternative to the condominiums that heavily populate the area.

Karen’s kitchen features custom cabinets with porcelain tops. White cabinets are Benjamin Moore OC-152 Super White.

Karen grew up going to Long Beach Island with her parents and has always wanted to design a beach house. After years of looking the family decided to build one together for an extended family experience and long-term living. The house was inspired by a Cali coastal bungalow vibe with ocean blue as the dominant color theme. With 2700 SF to work with, the interior space in the house was carefully maximized to accommodate 3 generations of adults and their friends and family.

Water SportsAcross the street at Zeke's Landing Marina, you can rent jet skis or pontoon boats, or book a sky-high parasailing tour.

Both waterfront restaurants are located along Perdido Beach Boulevard before you reach Island House Hotel Orange Beach and offer delicious seafood and cocktails. Even in late November and early December, I’d have claimed one of the poolside lounge chairs and dove into a vacation read. By the way, if you haven’t yet read “The Vacationers” by Emma Straub, put it on your reading list for your next beach vacation. Peering to my right, I spot a pier in the distance with beachfront hotel after beachfront hotel in between. For a moment, I consider walking there, but then I’m drawn to the water. It’s December 1, yet the water is pleasantly warm for wading in ankle-deep.

You can get your catch cooked up at one of the onsite restaurants, which include Louisiana Lagniappe, Shrimp Shack, Cafe Grazie and Gulf Shores Steamer. Also available are several types of accessible rooms. These include hearing-accessible rooms with one king or two queen beds, a king corner room with an accessible tub, and a king room with a roll-in shower. This corner room is also available with two queen beds.

• BBC confirms a third series of the hit Death in Paradise spin-off Beyond Paradise
• Ghosts star Charlotte Ritchie would love US crossover
• Comedy

We all agreed that with anything that goes beyond five series, there's a real danger that it might outstay its welcome. We wanted to be ahead of the curve as far as any kind of waning is concerned. Not many sitcoms can survive more than five series at a particular level. When you get into a writers’ room, I think it's very obvious when ideas start to thin out or you start to recycle old stories with new characters.

I think that’s lovely that they’ve done that. David started out as a writer for TV Times before becoming the title's deputy features editor and then features editor. During his time on TV Times, David also helped run the annual TV Times Awards. David is a huge Death in Paradise fan, although he's still failed to solve a case before the show's detective! He also loves James Bond and controversially thinks that Timothy Dalton was an excellent 007.

"And I think, in a kind of selfish way, I always loved getting to play Alison because she existed in a separate world... The scene followed a hysterical episode of April Fools' pranks, causing deceased scoutmaster Pat (Jim Howick) to be sceptical of the announcement – that is, until Alison pointed out that midday had passed. Ghosts follows the married couple Alison (Ritchie) and Mike Cooper as they renovate a crumbling house inherited by Alison. As well as all things soap-related, Claire also loves running, spa breaks, days out with her kids, and getting lost in a good book.

” It's really good to do it at that point. But also, I feel like five series is a blessing. It's not often you get to the fifth series in a British sitcom. We only got three with Stath Lets Flats.

But the surprisingly compassionate reaction of stern Edwardian spook Lady Button (Martha Howe-Douglas) reveals more about her early life with her formidable mother Lavinia, played by guest star Jennifer Saunders. If you just can't wait to find out what happens next, all episodes of Ghosts season 5 are now streaming on BBC iPlayer. The series will ultimately conclude with a surprise Christmas special later this year.

Charlotte Ritchie is as sad as you are that Ghosts is ending

For the last three series, we've always done it in January. It’s really nice as an actor, of course, to have that stability, to know that you're starting the year with a big show with people that you still like and it's going to be a lot of fun. Definitely, especially if you’re in a scene with Jim Howick.

There is something quite rich about the idea of people with very different lives and very different viewpoints being stuck together. That felt very contemporary in terms of how heated conversations are between people with different standpoints. If people inhabit a space together, and look in each other's eyes, they can try their best to maintain a hardness towards each other, but some of that softens and breaks down because we're all people in the end.

AI is terrifying, and it has all sorts of problems, but this technology stuff can really work. Deepfakes can be great if you're trying to do a reunion Christmas special of Ghosts in 20 years' time. But this one has allowed us to be a bit softer about it, a bit more attached. We see a lot of the same crew come back, and we stay in touch with them and that's been really special. But it's quite good to get a contrast, because then you understand how unusual that is. Normally, if you've got a good year of work, you're meeting hundreds of different people, and going to new places, and making new friends, and then not seeing them for months and months.

hit British period drama TV series returning in 2024 with new seasons

I think that her and Mike have got into a bit of a routine with how it works with the ghosts. I think also she's sort of adopted an extended family, and I think the unconditional presence of them must have a steadying effect. Perhaps we have to accept that Ghosts is dead.

There are bigger storylines here, as life changes for Alison and Mike, and decisions must be made about the future of the ever-crumbling Button House. We rarely get to see stories on TV about people struggling financially, in any ordinary sense. Most fictional characters seem to live in pristine Victorian semis with vast kitchen extensions, no matter whether they are an investment banker or a teaching assistant. And if they are evidently strapped for cash, it’s usually because they’ve gambled their lives away or rejected their former life as a gangland boss.

We wanted viewers to feel that all’s well with the characters, and we didn't want to do it in a trite way. We didn't want to do the obvious. We always get people pitching to us – “You know what you should do? ” The number of people who've gone, “Mike should see the Ghosts, too.” You think you want that.

Luckily, the show has so much going on that we can still continue, and there's so much to get through. “I think that phrase is from Succession, but I’m sure I coined it first! In some ways, it’s cathartic to say, “OK, that’s it.

It's really nice to have that many episodes and have those many stories told and get to be as silly as we did for that long. Despite it being the final one, I think this series has some of the best episodes that we've made. I think it's really consistently got better. I do forget every time we go back in January.

In the prosecution’s opening statement, Matthew Colangelo outlined what his team calls the August 2015 “Trump Tower conspiracy” hatched by Trump, Michael Cohen and David Pecker, boss of The National Enquirer, who began his testimony later in the day.

Friday morning, several families and businesses were displaced due to severe water damage and concerns about the building's structural integrity. Police said a 45-year-old man possibly armed with a knife had barricaded himself inside his sister's apartment, blocking the front door with a couch. When officers confronted him, he allegedly began lighting items on fire and throwing them at officers, including clothing, trash and furniture.

I’d gone to the Capitol in part because I was curious about whether the anti-abortion movement felt betrayed by Republicans. After all, for decades the party has mostly done the movement’s bidding, but on Wednesday, bowing to popular pressure, three Republicans joined Democrats in favor of repeal. Arizona is thus almost certain to become the first state with a Republican legislature to back off its most draconian post-Roe abortion restrictions. As it turned out, persuasion came in the form of numbers — both in establishing a pattern and in helping women feel safe to come forward. UNRWA, he said, is open to working with a revitalized Palestinian Authority, a possibility the United States has supported.

Federal investigators serving a search warrant at a Reseda home on Thursday discovered possible explosive-making materials, which led to the bomb squad being dispatched to the scene and the closure of neighborhood streets to traffic, FBI officials said. A second explosion minutes later sent flames higher than trees and created a large plume of black smoke that could be seen for miles. The explosion occurred in a building housing a distributor for the vaping industry called Goo, which had more than 100,000 vape pens stored on-site. Authorities have said a truckload of butane canisters had arrived at the building within a week of the explosion that sent cannisters soaring up to 2 miles (3.2 kilometers), and more than half of that stock was still there when the fire began. Other neighbors say the gas company was in the neighborhood a couple of weeks ago, prompting talk of a gas leak then, but it's unclear if that visit had anything to do with Wednesday's explosion.

If you caught the scathing takedown of the book “White Rural Rage” in The Atlantic, then you’re aware of how intellectually dishonest it is to single out rural voters for special contempt.

NBC News released an interesting poll last weekend finding that interest in this election is lower than in any other presidential election in nearly 20 years. Only 64 percent of Americans said they have a high degree of interest in the election, compared to, say, 77 percent who had high interest in 2020. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday proclaimed a state of emergency in San Bernardino and 12 other counties to support disaster relief by making state agencies and aid available and asking for federal help in clearing and repairing highways.

But Cohen and others are expected to testify that Trump tried to avoid paying the hush money on the theory that it wouldn’t matter if the story came out after the election. In an election in which a few thousand votes could decide who wins the presidency or controls the Senate, it’s foolish to write off rural America. But there he was on Tuesday at a community college in Tampa, backed by big blue banners calling for “Reproductive rights” and “Restoring Roe,” fiercely bashing Trump for putting women’s health and lives at risk. But as Trump’s lawyers argued in opening statements, Trump is not merely the former president and presumptive Republican nominee.

Goo had received a township occupancy permit in September 2022 for the 26,700-square-foot (2,480-square-meter) building as a retail location for a “smoke shop/vape store” that would sell paraphernalia for vape products, Clinton Township’s Building Department has said.

With our Niagara and the Great Lakes trip, for example, you can write about the sheer volume of water cascading over the world-famous Niagara Falls. (For the record, more than 3,000 tons of water cascade over the falls every second!) The roar can be heard for miles, and you’ll have a front-row seat to this magnificent natural wonder. Rooms average over 300 square feet, with our newest ships having rooms well over 600 square feet. That compares favorably to most other riverboats around the world where rooms can be approximately 180 square feet due to physical limitations on rivers in Europe. Cruise the Hudson round-trip from New York City on American Cruise Lines' seven-night Hudson River Fall Foliage Cruise. You'll visit Catskill, home to the Hudson River School Art Trail and the Olana Historic Site, or explore more actively at the Hudson River Skywalk and Kaaterskill Falls.

An American river cruise takes you on an intimate journey through the United States' most scenic waterways, including the Mississippi, Columbia, Tennessee and Ohio.

On these voyages, you'll sail with anywhere from 100 to 400 other guests aboard either modern riverboats or classic paddle wheelers that hearken back to a different time.
