🚨TRUMP COMING TO THE UK It would be such a shame for Donald if this photo of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein appeared absolutely EVERYWHERE on his tour of the UK. It would truly be such a huge shame if everyone donated to make that happen 👀 link in bio x

LET’S MAKE SURE THIS PATRIOT IS PROTECTED!!! 🚨DISTURBING: Airman Christian Stephens posted a video saying he’s not proud to serve under Trump and disapproves of ICE. Now it’s gone—replaced with a chilling message that he was forced into a psych hold, despite not being a threat. Please share.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

Some of the most explicit Christian right grift you will find. Of course, she's a Trump "adviser."

If you give White House faith adviser Paula White $1,000 before Easter, she promises that you will receive "seven supernatural blessings.": "God will assign an angel to you ... He'll give you prosperity. He'll take sickness away from you. He will give you long life."

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

A reporter asks Trump if Putin is disrespecting him by attacking Ukraine. Trump avoids the question by accusing their publication of having no credibility. This is what happens when Trump isn’t given a question where he can waffle on for ten minutes about how great he is.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton tells me on @lbc that Boris Johnson "is putting lipstick with a pig" here- "He [Trump] doesn't have a grand strategy."

This from Boris Johnson, attacking Donald Trump's critics for daring to suggest that the President of the United States shouldn't outright lie to us, tells us everything we need to know about him

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
