A wave of voices on the right condemned the formal recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, Canada and Australia on Sunday.
The big picture: The decision by the three nations has put President Trump — and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — at odds with close U.S. allies, as several other countries, including France, are expected to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming U.N. General Assembly.
President Trump is planning to meet a select group of Arab and Muslim leaders on Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York to discuss ways to end the war in Gaza, two Arab officials with knowledge of the meeting said.
Why it matters: The meeting will take place several days before Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on September 29.
Media moguls Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and tech entrepreneur Michael Dell are expected to be among the U.S. investors who would be part of the potential deal for TikTok, President Trump claimed on Sunday.
Why it matters: The exact terms and timing remain unknown, but it's becoming clearer that the process to bring a version of TikTok under U.S. control is at least advancing.
Democrats on Sunday framed President Trump's public demand that Attorney General Pam Bondi not "delay" in prosecutions of political enemies as a threat to American democracy.
The big picture: Trump's Saturday post addressed to the nation's top law enforcement official urged action against three of his foes in an escalation of his retribution campaign — and the already mounting MAGA world pressure on Bondi after the Epstein files fallout.
The UK, Canada and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday.
Why it matters: The decision by three of the U.S. and Israel's closest allies further isolates the Trump administration and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both oppose a Palestinian state.
While policymakers and headlines have traditionally zeroed in on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and X, young people are increasingly gathering on gaming platforms — and having conversations that are typically anonymous and largely invisible to the outside world.
Why it matters: Spaces like Discord, Roblox and Steam — built for gamers to connect — have evolved into the social discourse hubs where authentic interactions happen, as mainstream apps chase virality instead.
A new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas goes into effect Sunday, but it will not be applied to existing holders of valid visas re-entering the country, a White House official tells Axios.
Why it matters: President Trump's executive order, as written, gave some lawyers the impression the fee would kick in immediately for existing holders — prompting panicked advice to clients to get back to the U.S. Saturday, or else.
A deal to bring TikTok's U.S. platform under American ownership is done and should be signed soon, with domestic control of the app's crown-jewel algorithm, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday.
Why it matters: While the White House said Friday a deal was done, Chinese officials gave mixed messages, and the app's fate was left uncertain.
President Trump claimed the U.S. attorney in Virginia who didn't pursue a case against New York's attorney general Letitia James was fired following earlier reports he resigned.
