Also, feds force Amazon to pay billions
| | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 💰 Amazon agreed to pay the FTC a massive fine. The giant multinational agreed to a settlement after the federal government accused it of tricking customers into Prime memberships. The deal will see Amazon pony up $1 billion to the Federal Trade Commission and $1.5 billion to affected customers. | 🔵 Democrats plan to investigate Tom Homan. The new investigations — launched by congressional Democrats — came after media reports claimed that the border czar took $50,000 to help undercover FBI officers who he thought were businessmen get government contracts. Homan, along with the FBI and DOJ, has denied any wrongdoing. | 🛑 The White House is gearing up for a shutdown. With Democrats demanding billions in healthcare spending in exchange for keeping the government open, the Trump administration is preparing for a shutdown on September 30. The shutdown would include mass firings and cutting programs "not consistent with the President's priorities." | ✍🏻 Trump signed an order finalizing the TikTok deal. The deal will see American firms, including Oracle and Silver Lake, own a majority stake in the app. The algorithm will also be retrained on American user data. Chinese-controlled ByteDance will still have a 20 percent stake. |
