Wear It Well held 6th annual Pretty in Pink fundraiser for breast cancer
SUMMARY: The Wear It Well organization held its sixth annual Pretty in Pink fundraiser for breast cancer, raising awareness and money for cancer survivors. The funds raised go towards helping those fighting breast cancer, covering mammograms, screenings, and other expenses that may not be covered by insurance. The funds are also used for little pick-me-ups like flowers and care boxes for patients and survivors. The organization works year-round to support cancer survivors and bridge the gap for those who lack resources. Donations can be made to the Wear It Well Foundation at wearitwell.org.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Joe Biden’s presidency aimed to “restore the soul” of America post-Trump, but despite bipartisan legislative successes and international alliances, he struggled to change the political landscape. Four years after defeating Trump, Biden faced electoral defeat as Trump made a political comeback. Polls show only a quarter view Biden favorably, even lower than Trump during his presidency. Although Biden touted achievements in infrastructure and economic recovery, rising costs and inflation eroded public support. As he prepares to leave office, questions persist about his legacy and the permanence of the political shift towards populism, leaving Biden’s ambitions unfulfilled.
