Breitbart: Acting U.S. Attorney Steps Down After Trump DOJ Drops Eric Adams Case
Danielle Sassoon, the federal prosecutor in Manhattan, resigned after the Justice Department ordered her to dismiss the bribery and wire fraud case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. The directive was based on concerns that pursuing the case could hinder Adams' ability to serve New Yorkers and support Trump's immigration agenda.
Sassoon had previously dismissed Adams' claims of political motivation behind the investigation, asserting that it was based on evidence of illegal campaign contributions. Adams has pleaded not guilty to charges related to facilitating the opening of a Turkish consulate in exchange for travel benefits.
Times Of Israel: TikTok returns to Apple and Google app stores in US, after Trump postpones ban
TikTok has returned to US app stores after President Trump delayed a ban linked to its Chinese ownership. The app, which has over 170 million American users, was temporarily removed due to a law requiring its divestment. Users briefly migrated to a rival app during the suspension.
Despite ongoing concerns about national security and data access, TikTok denies sharing user data with the Chinese government. The company argues that the divestment law infringes on First Amendment rights, but the US Supreme Court has upheld the ban due to national security risks.

Breitbart: Blue State Blues: Free Advice to the South African Government on Dealing with Trump
A potential bilateral treaty between the U.S. and South Africa could lead to significant changes, including the repeal of the Expropriation Act and the establishment of "Freedom Zones" for foreign companies. South Africa would also commit to protecting farmers and women, while the U.S. would support South Africa's Olympic bid and invest in infrastructure.
To achieve this, South African leaders must change their approach to engaging with the Trump administration, moving beyond contempt and acknowledging the importance of cooperation. The focus should shift from mineral wealth to improving the lives of South Africans to strengthen the nation's standing both domestically and internationally.
