Today's big focus: the White House has greenlit a $14B deal for a U.S. version of TikTok. We unpack what this means for the app, who is involved (hello, Larry Ellison's media empire), and what President Trump wants to do with the algorithm.But first: the cringey, confusing, and absolutely wild "TikTok Night" on Dancing with the Stars. Was it a brilliant marketing move or a two-hour infomercial we were forced to watch? Plus: OpenAI just launched a new app that lets you deepfake your friends. Is this the future of content or a disaster waiting to happen?And: DoorDash is getting into the creator game with its own short-form video feed for food reviews.Finally: YouTube is coming to a flight near you!
