U.S. Senator Ed Markey joined several other members of Congress in introducing legislation that would extend the deadline on a ban of social media app TikTok.

Sen. Ed Markey said he’s stressed to the Biden administration that “the serious hardship” and "unintended consequences” of a ban must be considered.

Senator Ed Markey announced plans to introduce a bill that would extend the deadline for the TikTok ban.  Supreme Court seems likely to uphold a federal law that could force TikTok to shut down on Jan.

A growing number of lawmakers are urging President Joe Biden to grant a reprieve to prevent TikTok from going dark in the United States as soon as Sunday, warning millions of creators and businesses could be hurt.

WASHINGTON -- Former Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin denied that he will favor industry over the environment and declared he thinks climate change is real as he faced questions Thursday on his nomination to be the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Every member of the delegation talks about resisting parts of Trump's agenda, but some say there's room for strategic compromise.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — There is a last-minute effort to save TikTok just days before the popular app is set to be banned. A small group of senators is trying to extend the deadline for TikTok’s parent company to sell the app.

The Biden administration is considering ways to keep TikTok available in the U.S. if the Supreme Court allows a ban to go into effect Sunday.

Less than a week before TikTok is set to be banned nationwide, Senator Ed Markey announced the introduction of a bill that would extend the deadline by 270 days, his office said in a statement.

Lawyers for TikTok say that’s effectively a ban. A Biden administration official says because this deadline is over the weekend they’re not going to enforce the law, it’ll be up to the Trump administration. “TikTok must not go dark on Sunday,” said Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.).

After a bipartisan bill to remove TikTok from app stores in the U.S. or force its sale passed last year, some officials in Washington now want to delay the ban from going into effect.
