President Trump has been “permanently suspended” from Twitter. Trump’s account had more than 88 million followers.

The company says Trump has violated their rules by using the platform to incite violence. Trump claims that Twitter is “banning free speech,” and that they’ve deleted his account to appease the “Radical Left.”

After he was banned, Trump went on the Official Presidential Twitter account (@POTUS) and ranted about his account being deleted. Twitter also deleted that rant. The @POTUS account won’t be suspended. Instead, it’ll remain locked until Joe Biden takes over as President on the 20th.

He’s also been suspended from Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, Snapchat, Reddit, TikTok, and even Pinterest.

Legendary Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda died of heart failure Thursday night.

He was 93.

Tommy was with the team for 71 years. He managed from 1976 to 1996, winning two World Series titles.

Tommy once said that when he died, he wanted the Dodgers schedule put on his gravestone.

Lasorda’s last game was on October 27th, when the Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays to clinch their first World Series title since 1988. Fitting.
