💰 Verified Twitter users may soon have to pay a monthly fee to keep their badges
Twitter Blue, a $4.99 monthly subscription, launched last year as the platform's premium offering, giving users access to new features like customizable app icons, the ability to undo or bookmark tweets, and a "reader mode" to more easily view long threads of posts. A verification-tier subscription may cost as much as $19.99 per month.
Currently only available in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Twitter Blue's launch has struggled with niche appeal and limited features — but linking verification to the subscription fee could bolster its popularity. Should Twitter require payment for its verified status, it would be the first major American social media app to do so, as most platforms offer the feature for free.

▪️At present, the region already hosts various joint military exercises with US forces on a near-annual basis, a collaboration that was first undertaken during the Obama administration.
▪️Although US-China tensions have remained heated for quite some time, ties between the two nations reached a near-boiling point in early August when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) decided to pay a visit to Taiwan.
