White House says it will send US$500 Obamacare refunds to nearly a million Americans

The White House removed its "Build the Wall" game from its website after The Tetris Company expressed concern over copyright infringement. The game, part of a collection of low-resolution video games titled "Arcade," was a Tetris knockoff encouraging the construction of a border wall. The Tetris Company stated they were not involved in the creation of "Build the Wall" and emphasized their commitment to connection and unity rather than division.

They also reiterated that they take copyright infringement seriously. The White House has not responded to further inquiries regarding potential legal action. Despite the game's removal, references to it still appear in White House social media posts.
