We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either,” Comey said in a statement.Meanwhile, the president announced sweeping new tariffs on pharmaceutical drugs, kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, upholstered furniture and heavy trucks, set to go into effect on Oct. 1.Trump also signed an executive order that he claims will allow the popular social media platform TikTok to continue operating nationwide, while addressing the national security concerns around the app.See previous updates here, and read the latest below:FCC Chair Reportedly Celebrates Kimmel NewsCNN's Brian Stelter posted that he asked Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission, for comment about ABC's decision not to air Kimmel.
