Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner, D-Va., has introduced a bill setting down a plan for banning foreign technology such as video-sharing app TikTok. 

Warner is working with Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. on the bill, suggesting that it has bipartisan support. 

The bill is the latest salvo from lawmakers who argue the social media app represents a danger to U.S. citizens, given its close ties to the Chinese government. 

Just last week, the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee approved a bill that would grant the president authority to fully ban TikTok. Several state governments, and a handful of universities, have also banned the app's use on their networks.

Embattled Fed Gov. Lisa Cook says she’ll sue Trump to keep her job
Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook's lawyer says she'll sue President Donald Trump's administration to try to prevent him from firing her. Longtime Washington attorney Abbe Lowell said Tuesday that Trump “has no authority to remove” Cook. If Trump succeeds in removing Cook from the Fed's board of governors, it could erode the Fed’s political independence, which is considered critical to its ability to fight inflation because it enables the Fed to take unpopular steps like raising interest rates. The Republican president said Monday he was removing Cook because of allegations she committed mortgage fraud. Cook was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden in 2022 and says she won't step down.
