The White House is giving government agencies 30 days to remove TikTok from all federal devices and systems, Reuters reports.
The Office of Management and Budget calls the guidance, announced Monday, a “critical step forward in addressing the risks presented by the app to sensitive government data.”
In December, Congress passed the “No TikTok on Government Devices Act” amid growing national security concerns over the app’s Chinese parent company ByteDance. App use is still allowed in certain exceptions, including for national security, law enforcement, and security research purposes.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has called on ABC News president James Goldston to explain why the network declined to broadcast a 2015 story that Amy Robach had reported about the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On Sunday, the California congressman called out ABC News in a letter to Goldston, which was first obtained and shared by Megyn Kelly, for its decision to scrap the story, which was revealed this month in hot-mic footage of Robach leaked by Project Veritas. In the video, Robach said the story was “quashed” after she spoke with an Epstein accuser who told her “everything.”
“What appears to have been presented to Ms. Robach is first-hand evidence of human trafficking,” McCarthy wrote in the letter, which was also signed by Reps. Mike McCaul (R-Texas) and Doug Collins (R-Ga.). “I am deeply concerned that this victim, in search of justice, went to ABC News,...

All-clear sirens have sounded at Fort Hood as the lockdown was lifted hours after a deadly shooting at the Texas Army post. An Iraq War veteran being treated for mental illness opened fire Wednesday on fellow service members at the military base, killing three people and wounding 16 before committing suicide at the same post where more than a dozen people were slain in a 2009 attack, authorities said. The shooter apparently walked into a building and began firing a .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol. He then got into a vehicle and continued firing before entering another building. He was eventually confronted by military police in a parking lot.

SXSW hosted a surprising guest on Saturday, March 15, when it conducted a panel discussion with Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas, and Daryl Friedman, covering the role music can play regarding Homeland Security.
McCaul currently serves as the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and spoke to SXSW artists about his bill, the Arts Require Timely Service Act, which would require Visas filed for foreign musicians who wish to perform in the U.S. to be processed in a timely fashion.
The bill states that applications for performer visas need to be processed within 14 days of submission, or be pushed through in the 15 days following, meaning that the longest one would wait for an application to be processed is almost a month.
McCaul said that he believes it is important for foreign musicians to be given the opportunity to perform in the United States because, when they return to their country,...
