President-elect Donald Trump has urged the US Supreme Court to pause implementation of a law that would ban popular social media app TikTok or force its sale, arguing he should have time after taking office to pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The court is set to hear arguments in the case on January 10. The law would require TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the platform to an American company or face a ban. The US Congress voted in April to ban it unless ByteDance sells the app by January 19. TikTok, which has more than 170-million US users, and its parent have sought to have the law struck down. But if the court does not rule in their favour and no divestment occurs, the app could be effectively banned in the US on January 19, one day before Trump takes office. Trump's support for TikTok is a reversal from 2020, when he tried to block the app in the US and force its sale to American companies because of its Chinese ownership. It also shows the significant effort by the company to forge inroads with Trump and his team during the presidential campaign. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute,” said D. John Sauer, Trump's lawyer who is also the president-elect's pick for US solicitor-general. “Instead, he respectfully requests that the court consider staying the act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case,” he added. Trump previously met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew in December, hours after the president-elect expressed he had a “warm spot” for the app and that he favoured allowing TikTok to keep operating in the US for at least a little while. The president-elect also said he had received billions of views on the social media platform during his presidential campaign. TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company has previously said the justice department has misstated its ties to China, arguing its content recommendation engine and user data is stored in the US on cloud servers operated by Oracle Corp while content moderation decisions that affect US users are made in the US as well. Free speech advocates separately told the Supreme Court on Friday the US law against TikTok evokes the censorship regimes put in place by the US' authoritarian enemies. The US justice department has argued Chinese control of TikTok poses a continuing threat to national security, a position supported by most US legislators. Montana attorney-general Austin Knudsen led a coalition of 22 attorneys-general on Friday in filing an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to uphold the national TikTok divest-or-ban legislation.

NoneMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets more than a year ago. But after missing all but four snaps last season because of a torn left Achilles tendon, Rodgers has yet to face the Miami Dolphins with his current team. That'll change Sunday when the Jets and Dolphins meet for the first time this season, and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said this game feels like a long time coming. “I’m excited to see him go out there and have fun with his guys and play,” Tagovailoa said. "Hopefully they don’t do too good against our guys, but we’re going to come out there and we’re going to compete as well and just admire good football if he goes out there and does his thing.” Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said earlier this week the team is sticking with Rodgers as the starter despite the 41-year-old's struggles. And Rodgers called notions that he'd need to use the final five games of the season to prove his value to the team “ridiculous.” “I love football," Rodgers said. "I don’t need a lot of motivation from the outside world or inspiration. I wake up, I love what I’m doing, I’m grateful to still be playing and I want to go out and compete and light up the defense every day.” But the Dolphins (5-7) are preparing to see the absolute best of the four-time NFL MVP, whose recent struggles have no bearing on his legacy, Tagovailoa said. “Whether he looks like the same way he did in years past or not, you’re just going up against greatness regardless,” Tagovailoa said. Dolphins rookie linebacker Chop Robinson estimated that he was a year old during Rodgers’ first NFL season. “To me, he still looks like Aaron Rodgers out there,” Robinson said, adding that he's excited to face the player he grew up watching. Rodgers has thrown for 2,627 yards and 19 touchdowns with eight interceptions, but his 6.3 yards-per-pass attempt is the lowest of his career as a starter. He was 21 of 39 for 185 yards with two touchdowns against Seattle last week, but also had an interception returned 92 yards for a touchdown and could not lead the Jets (3-9) on a late comeback — something he has done many times in his career. “We have tremendous faith in Aaron, we really do,” Ulbrich said. “His struggles partly have been from an injury standpoint, not being fully healthy. But beyond that, I know he hasn’t played to the standard he’d like to play to. But we all know what he’s capable of. We all have great belief in him. I really believe we’re going to get the best version of him this Sunday, I do.” Rodgers has passed for 300 or more yards 77 times in his 20-year NFL career, including 69 in the regular season. But it has been four years since the most recent time. Rodgers threw for 341 yards against Chicago on Dec. 12, 2021 while with Green Bay, making his 300-yard drought 34 regular-season games and 35 overall, including one playoff game. “Stats can be skewed both positively and negatively, and it’s a weird one, for sure,” said Rodgers, whose season high is 294 yards against Buffalo in Week 6. “Would love to get rid of that one, but there’s a lot of stats that I’ve been on the right side of. That one is not one of my favorites, for sure.” The Jets’ special teams unit was dominant in the first half last week against Seattle — and made some NFL history in the process. The were the first team to have a kickoff returned for a TD, recover two fumbles on kickoffs and block an extra point in the same game. And New York did that all in the first half against Seattle. The big star was Kene Nwangwu, who was promoted from the practice squad before the game and returned a kickoff 99 yards for a score and also forced a fumble on a kickoff. The performance earned him AFC special teams player of the week honors. Rookie Olu Fashanu has been one of the bright spots of the Jets’ season – and is showing he’s a building block for the future. In his second start at left tackle in place of the injured Tyron Smith, the No. 11 overall pick in April allowed no pressures on 42 pass blocking snaps, according to Next Gen Stats. He joined Tampa Bay’s Tristan Wirfs as the only players this season with no pressures allowed in at least 40 pass blocking snaps. “He’s a baller,” left guard John Simpson said. “That’s my dog. He’s a good dude, he learns real quick. ... He’s coming along very well and he’s going to be a great player in this league.” Dolphins pass rusher Bradley Chubb practiced this week for the first time since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Week 17 last season. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said Thursday it's hard to determine how close Chubb is to being game ready because he had only about seven full-speed reps. “I know the work he’s put forth just to get to this point," Weaver said. "I’m sure it’s going to be some time just to gain confidence and get back to where he feels comfortable going out there and playing in an NFL game.” Chubb was listed as questionable on Friday after limited participation in practice all week. He was having one of the best seasons of his career before the injury. Chubb had 11 sacks (the most since his rookie season with Denver), a league-high six forced fumbles and 73 tackles.

One of the key benefits of personal pension schemes is the tax advantages they offer. In many countries, contributions made to personal pension accounts are tax-deductible, which means that individuals can reduce their taxable income by saving for retirement. Additionally, the investment growth within a personal pension plan is typically tax-deferred, allowing individuals to maximize the potential returns on their contributions over time. These tax benefits make personal pension schemes an attractive option for long-term retirement planning.
