TikTok ceased operations in the US on Saturday night ahead of a law requiring its shutdown due to national security concerns. The app, along with others owned by ByteDance, was removed from app stores, leaving users unable to access it.

Breitbart: HHS Defunds EcoHealth for Facilitating Gain-of-Function Research
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has debarred EcoHealth Alliance and its former president, Dr. Peter Daszak, following an investigation that revealed they facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, without proper oversight. The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic found that this research violated NIH grant terms, posing risks to national security.
The debarment, lasting until May 2029 for EcoHealth and May 2029 for Daszak, follows accusations of misuse of taxpayer funds. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer emphasized the need for accountability and higher oversight standards, asserting that this decision serves the interests of U.S. taxpayers and national security.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is set to commence, with three Israeli hostages to be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Fighting continued until the eve of the truce, and Israeli forces began withdrawing from certain areas in Gaza.
Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized that the ceasefire is temporary and that Israel retains US support to resume military actions if needed. He warned that if the conflict reignites, it will be met with significant force.
