We've repeatedly noted how the Republican quest to ban TikTok is both stupid and performative. Stupid, in that banning TikTok doesn't fix the deeper privacy rot caused by a corrupt Congress' ongoing refusal to pass a privacy law or regulate data brokers (who do much worse, at much greater scale). Dumb, in that the "ban" in states like Montana was bypassed by students in all of five seconds simply by switching from campus Wi-Fi networks to cellular.

WASHINGTON — Pro-Israel hawks in both parties on Capitol Hill are sounding the alarm that they are losing confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his handling of the war against Hamas. While progressive lawmakers have consistently been critical of Netanyahu and Israel's counterassault in the Gaza Strip that has leveled buildings and killed thousands of Palestinian civilians, it's significant that pro-Israel lawmakers who serve on key national security panels are now voicing frustration about Netanyahu's leadership, albeit quietly.
