27-year-old Paul -- who has been increasingly outspoken on his political stance following the July 13 assassination attempt -- got some one-on-one time with Trump at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville ... and used the opportunity to playfully pretend like they were getting ready to scrap.

But there's certainly no beef between the two ... as Paul told his 26.7 million Instagram supporters to exercise their right to vote come election day -- but made it clear whose side he's on, and it ain't Kamala Harris'.

The woman rumored to be expecting a child with Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis is actually welcoming a baby with MLB player Joey Gallo, TMZ Sports has learned.

El Presidente Biden acaba de firmar un proyecto de ley que prohíbe TikTok en Estados Unidos (a menos que se venda a una empresa con sede en EE.UU.), pero su actual CEO dice que van a luchar como el infierno y promete que van a ir a la corte.

El mandamás de TikTok Shou Zi Chew publicó un video el miércoles, luego de que Joe pusiera su firma a la legislación aprobada por la Cámara de Representantes y el Senado, y que básicamente hace que TikTok sea ilegal en Estados mientras esté bajo control chino.

El empresario dice que él y sus socios van a desafiar esta nueva ley y confía en que TikTok ganará, afirmando que la Constitución está del lado de la empresa. Chew y compañía dicen que van a citar los derechos de la Primera Enmienda para defender su posición.

President Biden just signed a bill banning TikTok in America (unless it's sold to a U.S.-based company) -- but the current CEO says they're gonna fight like hell ... vowing to go to court.

TikTok's head honcho Shou Zi Chew posted a video Wednesday in response to Joe putting his John Hancock on legislation that got passed in the House of Representatives and the Senate ... which basically makes TikTok illegal here in the States under Chinese control.

The businessman says he and his partners are going to challenge this new law -- and is confident TikTok will win before a judge, stating the Constitution is on the company's side. Chew and co. say they're going to cite First Amendment rights in defending their position.
