A federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously upheld a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok in a few short months, handing a resounding defeat to the popular social media platform as it fights for its survival in the U.S. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied TikTok's petition to overturn the law — which requires TikTok to break ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance or be banned by mid-January — and rebuffed the company's challenge of the statute, which it argued had ran afoul of the First Amendment. “The First Amendment exists to protect free speech in the United States,” said the court's opinion, which was written by Judge Douglas Ginsburg. “Here the Government acted solely to protect that freedom from a foreign adversary nation and to limit that adversary’s ability to gather data on people in the United States.” TikTok and ByteDance — another plaintiff in the lawsuit — are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court, though its unclear whether the court will take up the case. “The Supreme Court has an established historical record of protecting Americans’ right to free speech, and we expect they will do just that on this important constitutional issue," TikTok spokesperson Michael Hughes said in a statement. “Unfortunately, the TikTok ban was conceived and pushed through based upon inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information, resulting in outright censorship of the American people,” Hughes said. Unless stopped, he argued the statute “will silence the voices of over 170 million Americans here in the US and around the world on January 19th, 2025.” Though the case is squarely in the court system, its also possible the two companies might be thrown some sort of a lifeline by President-elect Donald Trump, who tried to ban TikTok during his first term but said during the presidential campaign that he is now against such action . The law, signed by President Joe Biden in April, was the culmination of a years-long saga in Washington over the short-form video-sharing app, which the government sees as a national security threat due to its connections to China. “Today’s decision is an important step in blocking the Chinese government from weaponizing TikTok to collect sensitive information about millions of Americans, to covertly manipulate the content delivered to American audiences, and to undermine our national security,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement Friday. The U.S. has said it’s concerned about TikTok collecting vast swaths of user data, including sensitive information on viewing habits , that could fall into the hands of the Chinese government through coercion. Officials have also warned the proprietary algorithm that fuels what users see on the app is vulnerable to manipulation by Chinese authorities, who can use it to shape content on the platform in a way that’s difficult to detect — a concern mirrored by the European Union on Friday as it scrutinizes the video-sharing app’s role in the Romanian elections. TikTok, which sued the government over the law in May, has long denied it could be used by Beijing to spy on or manipulate Americans. Its attorneys have accurately pointed out that the U.S. hasn’t provided evidence to show that the company handed over user data to the Chinese government, or manipulated content for Beijing’s benefit in the U.S. They have also argued the law is predicated on future risks, which the Department of Justice has emphasized pointing in part to unspecified action it claims the two companies have taken in the past due to demands from the Chinese government. Friday’s ruling came after the appeals court panel, composed of two Republican and one Democrat appointed judges, heard oral arguments in September. In the hearing, which lasted more than two hours, the panel appeared to grapple with how TikTok’s foreign ownership affects its rights under the Constitution and how far the government could go to curtail potential influence from abroad on a foreign-owned platform. On Friday, all three of them denied TikTok’s petition. In the court's ruling, Ginsburg, a Republican appointee, rejected TikTok's main legal arguments against the law, including that the statute was an unlawful bill of attainder or a taking of property in violation of the Fifth Amendment. He also said the law did not violate the First Amendment because the government is not looking to "suppress content or require a certain mix of content” on TikTok. “Content on the platform could in principle remain unchanged after divestiture, and people in the United States would remain free to read and share as much PRC propaganda (or any other content) as they desire on TikTok or any other platform of their choosing,” Ginsburg wrote, using the abbreviation for the People’s Republic of China. Judge Sri Srinivasan, the chief judge on the court, issued a concurring opinion. TikTok’s lawsuit was consolidated with a second legal challenge brought by several content creators - for which the company is covering legal costs - as well as a third one filed on behalf of conservative creators who work with a nonprofit called BASED Politics Inc. Other organizations, including the Knight First Amendment Institute, had also filed amicus briefs supporting TikTok. “This is a deeply misguided ruling that reads important First Amendment precedents too narrowly and gives the government sweeping power to restrict Americans’ access to information, ideas, and media from abroad,” said Jameel Jaffer, the executive director of the organization. “We hope that the appeals court’s ruling won’t be the last word.” Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, lawmakers who had pushed for the legislation celebrated the court's ruling. "I am optimistic that President Trump will facilitate an American takeover of TikTok to allow its continued use in the United States and I look forward to welcoming the app in America under new ownership,” said Republican Rep. John Moolenaar of Michigan, chairman of the House Select Committee on China. Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who co-authored the law, said “it's time for ByteDance to accept” the law. To assuage concerns about the company’s owners, TikTok says it has invested more than $2 billion to bolster protections around U.S. user data. The company has also argued the government’s broader concerns could have been resolved in a draft agreement it provided the Biden administration more than two years ago during talks between the two sides. It has blamed the government for walking away from further negotiations on the agreement, which the Justice Department argues is insufficient. Attorneys for the two companies have claimed it’s impossible to divest the platform commercially and technologically. They also say any sale of TikTok without the coveted algorithm - the platform’s secret sauce that Chinese authorities would likely block under any divesture plan - would turn the U.S. version of TikTok into an island disconnected from other global content. Still, some investors, including Trump’s former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and billionaire Frank McCourt, have expressed interest in purchasing the platform. Both men said earlier this year that they were launching a consortium to purchase TikTok’s U.S. business. This week, a spokesperson for McCourt’s Project Liberty initiative, which aims to protect online privacy, said unnamed participants in their bid have made informal commitments of more than $20 billion in capital.NonePeople living in Minnedosa are being asked to reduce their sewage usage or risk a sewage backup in their homes and businesses. On Sunday, the Town of Minnedosa issued an advisory on social media. It said the town is down resources due to the winter storm and won’t be able to maintain the levels at the lift station. “We are working diligently to repair the emergency pump,” which broke earlier this weekend, the town’s post reads. “This is a serious ask to reduce your usage,” it emphasized. The town didn’t say how long the restriction will be in place. On Saturday, Environment and Climate Change Canada issued several winter weather warnings for southern Manitoba.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal judge took Diego Pavia 's request for a limited preliminary injunction under advisement at the end of a hearing Wednesday as the Vanderbilt quarterback seeks to play at least another season while his lawsuit against the NCAA plays out in court. U.S. District Judge William L. Campbell asked attorneys how quickly they could be ready for trial. He also asked about the upcoming transfer portal, which opens Monday and closes Dec. 28. Attorney Ryan Downton argued during a 2 1/2-hour hearing that Pavia wants “the narrowest injunction possible” to keep his time in junior college from counting against his NCAA Division I eligibility using older guidelines. Their best hope is for a quick ruling by Monday. “I get the sense from him today that he’s looking at the date the portal closes and trying to give enough time to react before it closes,” Downton said of the judge's timing after the hearing. Campbell peppered attorneys with questions. The judge noted prep schools play against junior colleges, including Pavia's, without starting their NCAA eligibility clock. He also noted junior colleges don't allow redshirt seasons. The judge also said the NCAA has changed its rules over the past 50 years, including allowing freshmen to play and later added the redshirt rule. Campbell sounded surprised when told a player who redshirted this season could play a total of nine games if on the team that wins the College Football Playoff. Pavia filed Nov. 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville. His request for a temporary restraining order was denied giving him two more seasons of eligibility allowing a redshirt season “to avoid additional harm.” His lawsuit also asks that Vanderbilt, or any other college, not be punished for complying with orders from the court. Pavia filed a declaration Monday that he is applying to the masters' program for legal studies at Vanderbilt starting in January if he is granted the preliminary injunction. Attorneys Tamarra Matthews Johnson and Max Warren argued for the NCAA that Pavia had done exactly what the organization wants athletes to do earning a bachelor's degree at New Mexico State before being a graduate transfer to Vanderbilt earlier this year. They also argued Pavia easily can seek another degree without playing football. Warren disputed the idea of irreparable damages noting Pavia can receive economic damages at trial without an injunction. Warren also questioned the lawsuit's timing with Pavia quoted that this was his last year of college football. “His best opportunity to earn a living is playing college football ...,” Downton said in court. “This is his chance.” Pavia did not get an offer from a Football Bowl Subdivision school coming out of Volcano Vista High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He went to New Mexico Military Institute in 2020 and led the junior college to the 2021 national championship. He went to New Mexico State in 2022 and won 10 games in 2023. The Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year then followed his head coach, Jerry Kill, and offensive coordinator Tim Beck to Vanderbilt this offseason. Matthews Johnson argued that Vanderbilt simply will find another quarterback. Vanderbilt hasn't had many quarterbacks like Pavia who had a handful of his teammates sitting behind him in court. Pavia is a big reason why Vanderbilt is 6-6 and bowl eligible for the first time since 2018. He led the Commodores to their best start in decades, ranked twice in the AP Top 25 and posted their biggest win ever beating then-No. 1 Alabama. That snapped a 60-game winless skid over over AP top-5 teams. Wednesday’s hearing coincided with the early signing period . Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea supported his quarterback’s initial filing and has talked of how much he has meant to the Commodores. That didn’t stop Vanderbilt from signing a quarterback Wednesday out of an Illinois high school in Jack Elliott. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Understanding drawdown: What it means for your investment strategyThis was a six point rise from the previous poll which put support for independence at 54% . But it’s not just in the UK the royals are facing a struggle to hang on to relevance. Across the world it appears the end is nigh, much more so than it is on these shores in fact. We spoke to Our Republic’s Tristan Grayford to look back on some of the key news stories of 2024 concerning the royal family and why it might just be the beginning of the end for them. Not too long after the royals enjoyed another lavish Christmas at Sandringham, two polls came out back-to-back showing for the first time that less than half of people in the UK wanted to keep King Charles as head of state . The first came on January 8 after campaign group Republic commissioned a Savanta poll asking the public whether they preferred a monarchy or an elected head of state. The results showed just 48% said they would prefer the royals. To prove it was not a fluke, another poll 10 days later from YouGov found just 45% of people in the UK supported the monarchy. In Scotland, the results were even more stark. A mere 33% of people preferred the royal family – the lowest figure out of all the UK nations - according to the pollster's data. The opposition to the royals north of the Border was further solidified in a poll commissioned by Our Republic in May , which produced similar results. Three polls all showing the same thing – the monarchy are rapidly losing appeal. Gray told The National while he wasn’t surprised by the results, he was shocked by how little was made of them in the press. (Image: Aaron Chown) “I think Elizabeth was one of the key pillars of Britishness and Charles trying to slip into that place despite having none of the decades-long institutional presence Elizabeth had and being very much an individual in his own right who is known for his relationship dramas was never going to fill the same void,” he said. “I was surprised how little deal was made about it. “The unquestioned head of state who is expected to stay in power until they die and be automatically succeeded by their son, and no one is really questioning that half of people are not interested. That should be a bigger deal.” Later in the year, one of the most notable moments which attracted interest across the online world was when Charles was berated by an Australian senator who told him “you are not my king” and demanded a treaty between Australia’s First Nations and its government. Senator Lidia Thorpe waited until the end of a landmark speech Charles gave at Australia’s Parliament House, in the nation’s capital of Canberra, in October to verbally attack him and claim “genocide” had been committed against the Commonwealth country’s indigenous people. It came amid Charles and Camilla facing protests in Australia from indigenous rights activists . Charles was also snubbed by all of Australia's state premiers ahead of his tour, with not a single one of them agreeing to meet the monarch. On the protest from the senator, Grayford said the days of Charles “playing emperor” around the world will soon be over as demonstrations from nations exploited by the British Empire continue. He said: “There’s never going to be a case where the monarchy is going to be able to go anywhere in the world where they are not going to get confronted with the horrors their family have reigned over.” NEW: This is the moment King Charles's speech in Australia's Parliament House was interrupted by Senator Lidia Thorpe, who told him: 'You are not my King' 🗣 'You have committed genocide against our people.' pic.twitter.com/KkExsbCGTb Over the Tasman Sea in New Zealand, Maori tribes made a rare call this month for Charles to intervene in their politics but Buckingham Palace said it was a matter for the New Zealand government. “This shows the emperor with no clothes situation where Charles goes around the world claiming to be this unifying figure, but when he can actually do something unifying on behalf of an ethnicity that has suffered because of his family, he won’t lift a finger,” said Grayford. Asked if we would soon see the end of the monarchy in Commonwealth countries, Grayford said: “Absolutely. I think we are more likely to see the end of the royal family as a globetrotting set of billionaires within our lifetimes. The UK is more of an open question. “I also think we need to separate those two as very distinct issues. We need to be clear that when we’re talking about the end being nigh for the global emperor version of the monarchy, that’s for different reasons than the end is nigh for the king of the UK.” At the start of November a story Grayford regards as “the biggest in the last five years” when it comes to the royals came as a result of a Channel 4 Dispatches investigation looking into the royal family’s “secret millions” . The probe revealed how the King and Prince William’s private estates had struck rental deals worth millions of pounds with state schools, the armed forces and the NHS. The investigation reported that last year the Duchy of Lancaster agreed a deal to store a new fleet of electric ambulances, owned by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust in London, in one of the estate’s warehouses at a cost of £11.4 million over 15 years. Meanwhile, the Duchy of Cornwall had charged the Navy more than £1m since 2004 to build and use jetties and moor warships on the Cornish coastline. The duchy will also earn around £600,000 over the lifetime of six different leases agreed with local state schools. “I think this is the biggest story of maybe the last five years because it was someone other than The National pay attention to royal finances,” said Grayford. (Image: Mina Kim/PA Wire) “Whenever we put out anything, you’re the only ones who pay any attention, no matter how juicy it may seem or how much ordinary people on social media are interested in it. “I think to have Channel 4 do a full Dispatches on it was a major moment and showed there are media outlets who are willing to put a magnifying glass on the royals.” Closing out the year was the revelation the King’s coronation we were all handed a bank holiday for last year cost a whopping £72 million . That was what the official accounts suggested anyway, but republicans were not at all convinced that was the entire bill. However, Grayford said he was less bothered about the cost of the Westminster Abbey ceremony, and more about how it looked to normal people grappling with rising costs. “My main issue isn’t the fact it was £72m, it’s that it was rubbing it in the face of people who are struggling with the cost of living crisis saying ‘look at all this gold and jewels’,” he said. “Never mind the money, just the appearance of it [I had an issue with]. You’d have thought that a man who claims to care about the people he serves would’ve gone ‘people are really struggling, I’m going to have a more modern looking ceremony’. “It was a £72m ego trip.” Overall, it was a year where the distance between the thoughts and experiences of the general public and the royals only deepened, but Grayford said in his view the family have far from accepted that regular people are going off them. Asked for his assessment of the royals’ year, he said: “I really feel like Charles has just ended up being bogged down in the fact that everyone around him, including him, expects things to just be the same forever and therefore there’s no need to change, no one is going to question them, they can just keep doing the same grubby deals that have been unquestioned for decades. “They don’t realise that the world around them has changed. It’s been almost the same story on repeat this year which is ‘we’ve found out Charles and his house have been doing this grubby thing for years’ and the response from the household is always [negligible]. “They don’t seem to have any crisis comms or any other response other than ‘this is how we’ve always done this’.”

Home of Mavericks star Luka Doncic is burglarizedGophers senior linebacker Cody Lindenberg has declined to use his final season of eligibility in 2025 and instead declared for the NFL draft on Friday.
