Famous horror novelist Stephen King has been an out loud and proud Trump troll for many months. 
Well, until now.
Earlier today, King shared a devastating tweet.
\u201cTrump has blocked me from reading his tweets. I may have to kill myself.\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497366933
King's followers flew to his side to comfort him.
\u201c@StephenKing @HelenKennedy Happens to the best of us https://t.co/ufX7tSl3YY\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497366933
\u201c@StephenKing Congratulations, sir!  Likely he's the only person in the Free World who doesn't know who you are, though, because he doesn't read.\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497366933

We can understand why the president would block the writer of The Shining. Especially given the rumors of Trump's incredibly thin skin.
\u201cTrump's cabinet offers a postgraduate-level course in ass-kissing.\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497352329
\u201cIf Ivanka Trump had grown up in farm country, like some of us, she'd know her father is reaping exactly what he sowed.\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497301512
\u201cCan we have Obama back? Please?\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497044868
\u201cAfter listening to Comey today and Trump for last 4 and a half months, I have a clear opinion on which one is the actual "nut job."\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1496948154
\u201cOur idiotic president seems to have confused what's "politically correct" with what is "unconstitutional."\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1496676538
So, now what happens? Will King continue to take Trump down, one tweet at a time?
\u201cHave others received a notification of being blocked from Trump's tweets, or is it a hoax? It's not as if his tweets are hard to find!\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497372813
So is this a hoax? Is cozy bear or fuzzy bear or Guccifer targeting the king of scary stories?
\u201c@StephenKing Just go to @realDonaldTrump It will tell you if you're blocked. I'm sure he has an enemies list and it's got more pages than The Stand.\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497372813
\u201c@StephenKing I keep trying to get blocked... nothing, yet.\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497372813
\u201c@StephenKing He blocks anyone who questions him. Eventually he will block all of us.\u201d
 — Stephen King (@Stephen King)
        1497372813
Either way, keep it up Mr. King!
Also, perhaps you should recast a Trump lookalike as Pennywise in the upcoming reboot of It? Just a thought.

The United States is reportedly telling the United Kingdom to repeal its hate speech protections for LGBTQ+ people and other minorities in order to secure a trade deal.
JD Vance intends to demand that the British government roll back laws against hateful comments, including abuse targeting LGBTQ+ groups, as a condition in any deal between the nations, an anonymous senior Washington figure who has advised the Trump Administration told The Independent.

        BREAKING: Trans students, their teachers, and schools targeted in new Trump executive order

President Donald Trump signed a new executive order on Wednesday, banning schools that receive federal funding from allowing students to identify with the name and pronouns that best match their gender identity. It also bars the use of bathrooms and lockers by trans kids that best fits their gender identity, and bans them from playing on the most appropriate sports team. 
The order specifically calls out social transitioning of transgender students in public schools. Social transitioning may include things like coming out as trans or nonbinary, going by a different name, dressing in a way that aligns better to a person's gender identity, using a different type of voice, and using pronouns that better reflect a person's identity.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to restrict federal funding and support for gender-affirming care for transgender minors and some adults, which he described as harmful and irreversible. The order, titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” targets the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries for anyone under 19, referring to them as “chemical and surgical mutilation.” It directs federal agencies to rescind policies supporting such treatments, withdraw funding from institutions that provide them, and enforce existing laws limiting access to these procedures.
