the first two paragraphs:

"In a rare instance of bipartisanship overcoming the rancorous discord that's been the hallmark of the US Congress, [on Oct 18, 2019] senators and sepresentatives [sic] issued a scathing rebuke to Apple for its decision to take down an app at the request of the Chinese government.

"Signed by Senators Ron Wyden,  Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Congressional Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mike Gallagher and Tom Malinowski, the letter was written to 'express * * * strong concern about Apple's censorship of apps, including a prominent app used by protestors ['alternative spelling of protester': Wiktionary] in Hong Kong, at the request of the Chinese government.'
