Three decades ago, Tina Turner reclaimed her history with the soundtrack album for the movie What’s Love Got to Do With It. She re-recorded hits she’d originally cut with her abusive ex-husband, Ike Turner so that they could stand on their own as testaments to her survival. These included “Nutbush City Limits,” “Proud Mary,” and “A Fool in Love.” She was in her early 50s, her voice still sounded great, and the album became a hit. Now, the record will be even bigger when it’s reissued on April 26 as an expanded box set.

The committee panel reviewing TikTok’s national security risks is facing escalating bipartisan pressure to separate the popular Chinese-owned video app from its parent company.
Two senators on Thursday urged The Committee on Foreign Investment to “swiftly conclude its investigation and impose strict structural restrictions between TikTok’s American operations and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, including potentially separating the companies.”
The letter from the lawmakers — Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., chair of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on privacy, and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., a member of the Senate Committee on Intelligence — points to the possibility of China using the app to “collect data on tens of millions of American users and attempt to influence our public discourse.” It mirrors concerns from a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a Federal Communications commissioner urging Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores.
Once a partisan issue raised almost exclusively by Republicans,...

Senators Amy Klobuchar and John Cornyn have sent an open letter to the White House’s Covid-19 task force, encouraging them to use shuttered venues as sites to administer the coronavirus vaccine.
The letter was addressed to the White House’s Coronavirus Response Coordinator, Jeff Zients, and was signed by a bipartisan group of Senators that also included Richard Blumenthal, Kristen Gillibrand, Kevin Cramer, Jerry Moran, Thomas Carper, Marsha Blackburn, Mark Kelly, John Hoeven, Jon Tester, Alex Padilla, Ron Wyden, and Jeffrey Merkley.

As negotiations continue in Congress for a year-end Covid-19 relief deal, those connected to the live entertainment industry made an appeal to a Senate subcommittee on Tuesday for the urgent need of a lifeline.
“We have been shut since March 13th. We will not be open until June or July at the earliest. Zero income,” said Michael Strickland, owner of lighting company Bandit Lites. “We are all sitting dead still.”
“We have been fully shut for nine months now, with no work for our employees to do. Many, many venues are completely out of funds,” said Adam Hartke, owner of Cotillion and operating partner of Wave, two live music venues in Wichita, Ks. He said that a survey of independent music operators showed that 90% of smaller, mom-and-pop venues would go out of business without assistance.

The Senate on Thursday voted in favor of a resolution to “terminate” President Trump’s national emergency declaration. The vote marks a stunning bipartisan rebuke of the president, who last month used his executive privilege to circumvent Congress and fund the construction of a wall along the southern border. Though the Gop holds a 53-47 advantage over Democrats in the Senate, the measure passed by a vote of 59-41, with 12 members of Trump’s own party voting against him.

The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court battle has turned into one of the most contentious nominations in our nation’s history. President Trump’s nominee has been accused of past sexual assaults and of being dishonest before the Senate.
Despite testimony by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote on September 28th. Following an unaccountably incomplete investigation by the FBI, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared a key procedural hurdle, setting up a final vote this weekend.

News of Ticketmaster’s alleged collusion with ticket scalpers — detailed in an investigative report in mid-September by CBC and the Toronto Star — has sparked a development that perhaps was only a matter of time: a class-action lawsuit from fans.
Law firm Hagens Berman filed a suit on Friday in California federal court on behalf of lead plaintiff Allen Lee, who is suing Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation Entertainment for “unlawful and unfair business practices” that have “unjustly enriched” the ticket-seller at the expense of live events fans.

In light of an investigative report last week from CBC and the Toronto Star detailing Ticketmaster collusion with ticket scalpers, two U.S. senators have penned a letter to Michael Rapino, CEO of Ticketmaster’s parent company Live Nation, asking for immediate clarifications on the company’s resale program.
Senators Jerry Moran and Richard Blumenthal — who recently helped pass the Bots Act to limit the use of bots in consumer ticket-purchasing — say they are concerned with the murkiness of information about Ticketmaster’s professional resale program, TradeDesk, and are asking...

President Trump blamed “all” Democrats and “a few” Republicans on Twitter Tuesday morning after efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act collapsed on Monday night. Trump tweeted, “We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!” Shortly after, the president sent a follow-up message, “As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!” Also Read: Fox News' Judge Napolitano Says Trump Jr-Russia Meeting Merits Criminal Investigation (Video) Two Republican senators, Utah...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Trumpcare bill got dealt a death blow Monday night when Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran and Utah Sen. Mike Lee gave it a thumbs down, joining Gop colleagues Sen. Rand Paul and Susan Collins. The Gop “no” vote tally meant McConnell did not have the votes to begin debate on his legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. President Donald Trump, who had campaigned on a promise to kill Obamacare, was most seriously displeased, what with word…...

Vice President Joe Biden was in full “Uncle Joe” mode for his final swearing-in of new and re-elected senators on Tuesday.
Compliments, “dad jokes” and baby kisses (and snubs!) abounded as Biden held ceremonial swearing-ins for all Senate members of the new 115th Congress inside the old Senate chamber at the Capitol.
Here are some of Biden’s best lines of the day:
To Sen. Chuck Schumer’s mother, after she told Biden how proud she was of her son: “I don’t think he knows how to do anything else.” To Schumer’s daughter, who greeted the vice president...
