SUMMARY: The US House of Representatives passed a bill called the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which aims to separate popular app TikTok from its Chinese company ownership. Many are concerned about the potential impact on TikTok creators who rely on the app for income and community. One full-time content creator, Taylor Burn, expressed worry about the bill affecting her financial stability and ability to pursue her passion. Some lawmakers believe TikTok poses national security risks by allowing foreign control and potential spying on American users. The bill now moves to the US Senate, leaving the future of TikTok uncertain.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.
