For five tense hours, lawmakers grilled TikTok's chief executive, Shou Chew, about the app's ties to China and its effects on children. Chew tried to play down TikTok's links to its Chinese owner, ByteDance, emphasizing a plan to store U.S. users' data on American soil. Lawmakers in both parties seemed unswayed.

New York City has spent millions converting upscale hotels into migrant shelters. In order to provide temporary housing for some of the 50,000 migrants who have arrived on buses from the southern border since last spring, city officials have renovated about 100 hotels and office buildings. The effort may ultimately cost as much as $4 billion over the next two years and could result in cuts to city services, the mayor has warned.

India's opposition leader was expelled from Parliament after criticizing the prime minister. Rahul Gandhi— the leader of the once-powerful Indian National Congress party and a member of astoried political family — was disqualified from his seat in Parliament today, after a court found him guilty of defamation for likening Narendra Modi, India's leader, to a pair of prominent "thieves."The move was the boldest stroke yet by Modi's allies to winnow out potential rivals and move against sources of dissent ahead of next year's elections. Modi's critics have accused him of trying to twist the country's democratic system into something akin to an electoral autocracy.
