In a rare move, the FTC has publicly confirmed it's investigating Twitter's privacy practices after a House report disclosed a dozen letters the agency sent to Twitter seeking information about its practices under Elon Musk: https://t.co/fqE1sd97xC — PolitiTweet.org

Warner caveats: "Our beef here is with the Communist Party of China. It is not with the Chinese people; it is not with the Chinese diaspora. It is sure as heck not with Chinese Americans. And failure to make that point, frankly, plays into" Chinese propaganda. — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to TikTok, Sen. Warner says the RESTRICT Act — the bill he and other lawmakers are introducing today that could lead to a TikTok ban — will also allow the Commerce Dept. to take action on suspected foreign spying risks in AI, fintech, quantum computing and e-commerce. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin's "no" on Sohn is not the deal-breaker it would've been last Congress — nor really a surprise — but it highlights continued hurdles for her confirmation that's been stalled for over a year. (Also, odd to see "public interest advocate" be thrown around derogatorily.) https://t.co/G68FawQi3b — PolitiTweet.org
