BREAKING: This AM popular.info reported that the Trump campaign was running 1K+ ads on Facebook promoting a fake 2020 Census and Facebook will take no action

Just now, Facebook reversed course and said they will remove all the Trump census ads

popular.info/p/facebook-all…
2. Facebook disclosed the decision in an email to civil rights leader @vanitaguptaCR.

"Upon further review, these ads are currently being taken down given the policies in place to prevent confusion around the official U.S. Census," the company said.

Let this sink in.

During a worldwide pandemic creating ongoing economic shock Trump ACCIDENTALLY ANNOUNCED A BAN OF CARGO SHIPMENTS FROM EUROPE

This is an absolute circus.

Trump also said that the travel restrictions from Europe go into effect at midnight on Friday. But actually they go into effect at 11:59 PM on Friday.

The policy is dysfunctional but Trump also screwed up this statement is numerous ways. Which is exactly what you don't want.
Trump also didn't make clear that the ban did not apply to US citizens. I immediately texted a friend who is traveling in Europe as I was watching because I figured they needed to make plans to come home immediately.

Let me just say that suspending travel from Europe for 30 days makes very little sense.

The issue is that the virus is spreading WITHIN THE US, undetected, because we have not created a functional testing system
I'll be curious what experts have to say on this. But I have not seen any recommending this kind of step. Canada did not impose restrictions on travel from China but is doing much better because of adequate TESTING.
This is what happens when you have Stephen Miller, who has not medical expertise but is a raging xenophobe, writing your speech to the nation

I'll have more on the central problem in the US, which is THE LACK OF TESTING, in my newsletter

1. The catastrophic management of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States is ongoing.

Pence has spent days touting the MILLIONS of tests being sent to labs.

But apparently no one realized you need an RNA extraction kit to perform the tests!

Now there is a shortage.
2. So that's why there have still only been a few thousand tests conducted.

I've obtained an email sent on behalf of a Boston-area hospital to the entire Harvard Medical faculty, begging them to send any RNA kits they have on hand

The US is the wealthiest country in the world.
3. Pence has demonstrated he's not up to this job.

The main supplier of RNA extraction kits is backordered because other countries bought them out first.

I'll have more in my newsletter, Popular Information.

The same prosecutor Trump & Giuliani pressured Zelensky to hire (Lutsenko) to go after Biden’s son engineered Konstin Klimnik’s escape to RU to avoid Mueller’s charges.

And Pompeo’s DOS knew all about it; did TeamTrump facilitate the escape?

"The Epoch Times seeks to restore honest journalism, the purpose of a free press."

Wall Street Journal @WSJ publishes op-ed by @EpochTimes publisher Stephen Gregory in response to misleading @NBCNews and @MSNBC attacks. (Thread 👇) wsj.com/articles/nbc-n…
@WSJ @NBCNews @MSNBC The #EpochTimes is a nonpartisan, independent media company that publishes a daily newspaper and website. Our motto is “Truth and Tradition.”

Last week #NBCNews and its sister network #MSNBC launched a series of irresponsible and misleading attacks on us.
The network led with the claim that we have spent “more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself” in the past 6 months on “pro-Trump advertisements.”

NBC refers to ads promoting our print subscriptions—typically short, lively videos featuring recent articles.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
