Forbes: Can Trump Stop TikTok Ban? Here’s What He Can—And Can’t—Do As Supreme Court Signals It Could Support Law
The Supreme Court may uphold a federal ban on TikTok, which would take effect just before Donald Trump's inauguration. Trump opposes the ban and seeks to delay its enforcement, but his options to challenge it are limited, and any attempts could face legal hurdles.
If the ban is enforced, U.S. app stores would be prohibited from hosting TikTok unless its parent company, ByteDance, divests. This could render the app obsolete for new users, while existing users may still access it until updates are required. The implications for TikTok's operations in the U.S. remain uncertain.

President-elect Donald Trump is exploring the possibility of making Greenland the 51st state of the U.S., a move that could cost around $57 billion to compensate its residents. Greenland's Prime Minister is considering independence from Denmark, which could align with Trump's ambitions.

Forbes: Biden's Final Labor Numbers: Lowest Unemployment Since Clinton—Marred By Inflation
President Biden's final jobs report indicates a 12% increase in nonfarm jobs and a drop in unemployment from 6.7% to 4.1% during his term. Average hourly wages rose by 19.6%, but inflation has offset these gains, with the consumer price index increasing by 20.8%.
While employment has improved, comparisons to pre-pandemic levels reveal a less favorable picture, with unemployment still higher than in early 2020 and labor force participation below previous levels. Experts suggest that the labor market's health is influenced by factors beyond presidential policies.
