of an ex-president in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>Trump suggested on his Truth <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\"

Jan. 6, 2021, and raising concerns about political violence that are likely to grow through the week. <\/p>\n<p>Also this week, a House committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on TikTok, which will feature testimony from the platform\u2019s chief executive. And, House Republicans are bringing the Parents Bill of Rights to the floor, an education-focused measure that leans into culture war issues that have become a central part of the GOP platform. House Republicans will start the week in Orlando for their issues conference.<\/p>\n<p>On the Senate side, senators are scheduled to consider legislation that would repeal war authorizations for the 2002 invasion of Iraq and the 1991 Gulf War.

The controversy is likely to grow as the week progresses.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, hours after Trump posted on Truth Social, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he was \u201cdirecting relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere we go again \u2014 an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump,\u201d he added on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpeakerMcCarthy\/status\/1637108358208421888?s=20\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>During a Sunday press conference at the House GOP\u2019s issues conference in Orlando, McCarthy said he has spoken with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chair of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government, about the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis applies directly to that and I think you\u2019ll see actions from them,\u201d he added, later noting that action could come on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy on Sunday added that people should not protest in response to a potential Trump arrest, an apparent attempt to tame Trump\u2019s call to his followers amid concerns over political violence.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think people should protest this stuff,\u201d McCarthy said in Orlando when asked about Trump\u2019s statement, suggesting that Trump was calling on individuals to \u201ceducate people about what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not talking in a harmful way, and nobody should. Nobody should harm one another in this, and this is why you should really make law equal because if that was the case, nothing would happen here,\u201d he later said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Sunday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said he disagreed with McCarthy\u2019s assessment of the situation, taking aim at the weaponization subcommittee, which he said \u201cis really more appropriately named the Committee to Protect Insurrectionists.\u201d <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"House_committee_to_hold_a_hearing_on_TikTok\"><\/span><strong>House committee to hold a hearing on TikTok<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The House Energy and Commerce Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on Thursday at 10 a.m. focused on TikTok, as lawmakers up the pressure against the social media app amid security concerns over its ties to China.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is slated to make his first appearance before a congressional committee in the hearing titled \u201cTikTok: How Congress Can Safeguard American Data Privacy and Protect Children from Online Harms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have voiced worries about the national security and privacy risks TikTok presents because the app \u2014 owned by China-based ByteDance \u2014\u00a0can collect data on users\u2019 activity on the app and their devices overall. Last year, Congress passed and President Biden enacted a measure that bans TikTok from government devices.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The Biden administration, however, accelerated the feud against the platform last week when it threatened to ban TikTok in the U.S. if ByteDance does not sell their stake in the platform. Chew told <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/tiktok-ceos-message-to-washington-a-sale-wont-solve-security-concerns-94a8606?mod=hp_lead_pos2\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> in an interview last week that divesting the company from ByteDance would not solve national security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/energycommerce.house.gov\/posts\/energy-and-commerce-brings-tik-tok-ceo-before-committee-to-testify\">statement<\/a> announcing the hearing, Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) zeroed in on the privacy concerns surrounding TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans deserve to know the extent to which their privacy is jeopardized and their data is manipulated by ByteDance-owned TikTok\u2019s relationship with China,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cWhat\u2019s worse, we know Big Tech companies, like TikTok, use harmful algorithms to exploit children for profit and expose them to dangerous content online.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe need to know what actions the company is taking to keep our kids safe from online and offline harms,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"House_to_take_up_Parents_Bill_of_Rights\"><\/span><strong>House to take up Parent\u2019s Bill of Rights<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>House Republicans are taking up their Parents Bill of Rights this week, emphasizing a culture wars issue that has assumed an elevated place on the GOP agenda since the 2021 elections. <\/p>\n<p>The legislation, which stretches 24 pages, seeks \u201cTo ensure the rights of parents are honored and protected in the Nation\u2019s public school.\u201d House Republicans rolled out the bill at an event earlier this month.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The measure, which McCarthy designated H.R. 5, would compel school districts to post their curriculum publicly, allow for in-person meetings with parents and inform parents of any instances involving violence or assault that take place at school, among other tenets.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation comes as Republicans lean into the topic of education after Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) emphasized parental rights in the classroom in his successful campaign. <\/p>\n<p>During a press conference at the annual House GOP issues conference in Orlando, Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said the legislation \u201cshould be a nonpartisan issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou talk to parents across this country\u00a0\u2014\u00a0whether they\u2019re Republicans, Democrats or Independents \u2014\u00a0they support making sure that parents are the primary decision makers when it comes to their kids\u2019 education,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) said the Parents Bill of Rights \u201creally represents the fabric of America,\u201d adding \u201cparents have a say in their kids\u2019 education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers previously introduced the legislation in November 2021.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday and Tuesday, however, House Republicans will be in Orlando for their issues conference, during which they are expected to strategize for the coming weeks. One topic of discussion will likely be debt ceiling negotiations, as the summer deadline inches closer.<\/p>\n<p>The potential arrest of Trump, however, is already casting a shadow over the retreat. McCarthy was asked about the former president a number of times during his press conference on Sunday.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Senate_to_consider_war_authorizations_for_Iraq_Gulf_War\"><\/span><strong>Senate to consider war authorizations for Iraq, Gulf War<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Senate this week will consider legislation to repeal two Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMF): one for the 2002 invasion of Iraq, and another for the 1991 Gulf War.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate advanced the legislation in a bipartisan 68-27 vote last week, allowing a vote on final passage to happen as early as this week. Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) sponsored the measure.<\/p>\n<p>Both war authorizations are still active since they have not been repealed, meaning they can still be used by presidents when weighing military moves. Former President Trump cited the 2002 Iraq AUMF when he authorized a 2020 strike on Iranian <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear if the House will take up the war authorizations. However, McCarthy on Sunday said there was a \u201cclear opportunity\u201d for a vote. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the discussions we\u2019ll have here, it\u2019s something a number of members have talked about and have to go through foreign affairs, but I think it has a clear opportunity to come to the floor,\u201d McCarthy said when asked if he supports the measure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Senate_could_vote_to_overturn_Biden_water_regulation\"><\/span><strong>Senate could vote to overturn Biden water regulation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Senate this week could vote on a resolution that seeks to overturn a Biden administration water regulation, following House passage earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), the vice chair of the Republican conference, had initially said the measure would be voted on last week, but it never came to the floor for a vote. A GOP aide said the measure could receive a vote this week.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution, which the administration has said Biden would veto, would overturn a regulation that determines which waters must be subject to certain federal regulations. The Biden administration, generally speaking, has a wider perspective than the Trump administration of what bodies of water should be protected.<\/p>\n<p>The House cleared the measure in a bipartisan 227-198 vote. A spokesperson for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a moderate who is up for reelection in 2024, told The Hill earlier this month that the senator will vote in favor of the disapproval resolution.<\/p>\n<p><em>Al Weaver and Emily Brooks contributed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
