The Justice Department and other top government departments recommended that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoke China Telecom (Americas)'s authorizations to provide international telecommunications services in the US.

‘Life Under The Coronavirus Pandemic Could Get Easier In June’−Bill Gate

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates appeared on CNBC on Wednesday to speak about the ongoing fight against the coronavirus.

Tekashi 6ix9ine questions why everyone is calling him a snitch

Tekashi 6ix9ine, who was recently released from jail, took to Instagram to joke about people referring to him as a snitch.   The American rapper was released from prison early by a judge after he made a plea to get out to avoid contracting the Coronavirus. 6ix9ine is now under supervised release in-home incarceration but is able to return to social media without restrictions.   After returning to social media, the rapper changed his IG profile picture to a claymation version of himself in an orange prison jumpsuit, lounging on a rat trap while devouring a piece of cheese.   It is believed this is an attempt at making a joke at being called a "rat" after he ratted out his former gang members to get a shorter sentence.   He also changed his bio line to a question.   He asks, "Why ever...
