National Review: The Corner: TikTok Lobbyists ‘Slowed a Bit of Our Momentum,’ Senator Warner Says
TikTok's lobbying campaign has slowed down the progress of legislation targeting foreign apps, according to Senator Mark Warner.

The Epoch Times: Experts Say Threat of Drug-Resistant Bacteria Will Grow Unless Congress Steps In
Experts warn that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat. AMR is now the third-leading cause of death in the US and has worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic. The problem lies in reimbursement and access challenges for antimicrobials. Congress has the power to address this crisis by enacting reimbursement reforms and providing incentives for new antibiotic development.
For those living with conditions like cystic fibrosis, the threat of AMR is especially dire. Antibiotic resistance has left them with limited options for treatment, causing fear and anxiety. The PASTEUR Act, a bipartisan bill introduced in Congress, aims to encourage the development of new antibiotics and improve access to them. Urgent action is needed to prevent further loss of lives.

Fox News: Online privacy guru says Threads’ ‘rampant abuse of data’ is why Meta didn’t launch product in EU
DataGrade CEO Joe Toscano believes that Meta is fully aware of the privacy concerns surrounding its newly launched social media platform, Threads. Toscano argues that Threads collects excessive amounts of user data and compares it to Facebook or Instagram. He also notes that Threads is not available in the European Union due to strict privacy laws, which Meta is likely trying to avoid. Toscano raises concerns about Meta's intentions regarding privacy and predicts that European regulators will not react favorably to the platform. He points out that Threads requires an Instagram account to create an account, and users cannot delete Threads without deleting Instagram. Despite meeting GDPR requirements, Meta has not launched Threads in the EU due to regulatory uncertainties. Conservative measures need to be taken to protect average consumers from the potential data abuse associated with Threads.
