 Vanity Fair cuts ties with Olivia Nuzzi amid Robert F. Kennedy Jr. controversy  Vanity Fair is ending its relationship with West Coast editor Olivia Nuzzi amid controversy over her past involvement with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while she was a Washington correspondent for New York magazine. A statement Friday from both Nuzzi and the publication said they “have mutually agreed, in the best interest of the magazine, to let her contract expire at the end of the year.” Nuzzi had joined Vanity Fair as West Coast editor in September. Nuzzi, 32, gained prominence at New York magazine for her political profiles until 2024, when it was revealed she had a personal relationship with Kennedy, then a presidential candidate and now head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

From a report: The bill passed 352-65, with bipartisan support, but it faces a more uncertain path in the Senate where some favor a different approach to regulating foreign-owned apps that could pose security concerns. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not indicated how he plans to proceed.


TikTok's fate has become a major issue in Washington. Democratic and Republican lawmakers said their offices had received large volumes of calls from teenaged TikTok users who oppose the legislation, with the volume of complaints at times exceeding the number of calls seeking a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.


The measure is also the latest in a series of moves in Washington to respond to U.S. national security concerns about China, from connected vehicles to advanced artificial intelligence chips to cranes at U.S. ports.


The vote comes just over a week since the bill was proposed following one public hearing with little debate, and after action in Congress had stalled for more than a year. Last month, President Joe Biden's re-election campaign joined TikTok, raising hopes among TikTok officials that legislation was unlikely this year.
