Summary
The US House have voted to force TikTok to either part ways from Chinese-owned company ByteDance or be banned in the US. Why now? Why is Trump actually not that fussed? And does this benefit or hinder Biden's efforts to capture the youth vote through social media?
This, all as Trump and Biden become the official nominees for their respective parties... though we all knew that already. Meanwhile, the pair launch their campaign ads and attack each other on age, incompetence, and their records.
And... we look back on last week, that Marjorie Taylor-Greene moment, the State of the Union address and why the White House are now being asked if they also digitally alter photos of Joe Biden.
