Donald Trump has no shame, no scruples, no morals, no dignity, no empathy, no compassion, no sense of morality, and no soul, as far as we’re concerned. We say all that to say that it comes as absolutely no surprise whatsoever that he and his basket of deplorable MAGA bootlickers would mock the terrified men and women who are being accosted by ICE for deportation. However, that doesn’t make the offense any less galling.

According to Yahoo! News, the official White House page on the platform formerly known as Twitter posted the following video using the viral “Jet2” voiceover sound to ridicule ICE deportees.

 “When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!”

The post was met with backlash and disgust, but perhaps none more disgusted than Jess Glynne, the British singer whose song, “Hold My Hand,” was used in the making of the original Jet2 viral sound.

Glynne took to Instagram to voice her anger that her art was being used to sew division and promote bigotry toward immigrants.

“This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity and spreading positivity—never about division or hate,” she said.

Another equally aggrieved party also sounded off against the malicious MAGA meme. Voiceover actress Zoe Lister can be heard reading the original Jet2 ad copy, and she spoke to the BBC about Trump’s misuse of her work, stating that she would “never condone my voiceover being used.” She went on to call Trump’s immigration policies “abhorrent.”

“That’s just not the vibe—it’s meant to be funny and a way for people to share ridiculous things that happen to them,” Lister explained. “Someone serious like a politician using it to push their political agenda is not something I agree with.”

It’s a shame that Trump and his supporters think that this type of behavior is cute. We look forward to the day of their downfall.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
