A federal appeals court panel upheld a law on Friday that could lead to a ban on TikTok within weeks. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied TikTok’s petition to overturn the law—which requires TikTok to break ties with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or be banned by mid-January 2025.
The jurors in Daniel Penny’s fatal subway chokehold trial told the judge on Friday that they couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict on the top charge of manslaughter. Judge Maxwell Wiley is considering whether to give them what’s known as an Allen charge—an instruction urging them to make every possible effort to reach a verdict.
America’s job market rebounded in November, adding 227,000 workers in a solid recovery from the previous month—when the effects of strikes and hurricanes had sharply diminished employers’ payrolls. Friday’s report from the Labor Department showed that the unemployment rate ticked up from 4.1 percent in October to 4.2 percent last month.
