3 is where dems failed.
Dems should have opposed a ban/divestiture. The moment they supported it, they walked right into a Republican trap.

I don’t even want this law enforced. It was Senate Republicans led by Tom Cotton who pushed this. The divestiture didn’t happen because of Trump’s China tariffs, but the fact that he’s just blatantly ignoring the law and nobody cares sets a dangerous precedent for the next thing.

The photo giant chalks up the scuttling of the deal to a U.K. regulator requiring a divestiture of its rival's editorial business, a non-starter for the company.

We can't fix this situation if people don't know what's happening or going on anymore. And that has to begin by taking back control of the media from the oligarchs. We need forced divestiture, strict antitrust, and media consolidation regulations to prevent this from happening again.

Amazing that people are blaming Democrats for this when people like Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, and Tom Cotton were the first to call for an immediate outright ban of Tik Tok two years ago and led the charge on the divestiture bill.

It is somewhat ironic that Trump has simply refused to enforce the TikTok divestiture law for months after meeting with their CEO, a law sponsored by Senate Republicans who are now afraid to say a word about it, & now it has been weaponized to great effect against him on tariffs.

Here is the language from the statute about the president’s power to grant a 90-day delay for TikTok divestiture from ByteDance. It requires certification that “there are in place” “binding legal agreements” for a sale.

This is a legally frivolous threat. But CNN's parent is about to engage a divestiture that could lead to deals requiring regulatory approval. As Trump's (likely successful) extortion of Paramount in advance of a merger demonstrates, Trumpers will use threats without legal basis to get their way.

Things that are not real.
1) an Executive Order that can extend liability protection to private companies
2) a U.S. government-run TikTok
3) TikTok surviving in any form other than divestiture
