Facebook is banning Donald Trump from Facebook and Instagram indefinitely. We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Thursday post.
Following Wednesday s attack on the US Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, Facebook imposed a 24-hour ban on Trump s account for two policy violations on posts in which Trump sympathized with those who were, at the time, terrorizing the Capitol. One post included a video that concluded with Trump telling them, We love you, you’re very special. We removed these statements yesterday because we judged that their effect and likely their intent would be to provoke further violence, Zuckerberg said today.

The 5,593-page COVID-19 relief bill that was recently signed by US President Donald Trump was filled with unrelated issues and favors for special interests, with very little help for the people who are unemployed and struggling financially due to the pandemic.
Among the measures stuffed into the bill is a 180-day countdown for the Pentagon and other intelligence agencies to say what they know about UFOs. The measure was not included in the text of the bill, but was instead listed as a “committee comment,” attached to the annual intelligence authorization act.
