Great job, pushing Canada right into China's arms.

“.. The American intervention to prop up the Argentinian peso has failed. Despite the United States intervening .., the Argentine peso lost 10% of its value in the first two weeks of October, pushing the overnight interest rate to 157%.”

This morning, protesters gathered at the entrance to Coast Guard Island in Oakland/Alameda, to rally against Customs & Border Protection agents who are part of a reported immigration operation targeting the SF Bay Area, ordered by the Trump admin. Here's what happened....

So FYI, ICE is definitely in Oakland RIGHT NOW, clashing with protesters.
Whatever deal Lurie made with Trump does not include Oakland, which unlike SF is majority nonwhite. And of course has a Black female mayor.

They're still coming for Oakland right now - which was surely the plan all along.

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.

NBC News finds that:
-- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six.
-- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
It's your usual reminder now that the convicted felon Head-of-State is asking US taxpayers to hand over almost 1/4 billion dollars because he was investigated & wrecking the East Wing of the White House for a vanity ballroom.

Release the Epstein Files unredacted!

🧵 Veterans, like everyone else, are being hurt by this reckless shutdown. VA hospitals stay open, but GI Bill payments are stalled, casework is ignored, and thousands of veteran federal workers are missing paychecks. Our heroes deserve stability and respect, not to be used as a means of leverage.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
ETTD strikes again. This time on Argentina ahead of their midterm elections.

Throwing money down a hole, a government shutdown (by GOP), sinking farm commodity prices, sinking oil prices while building 1/4 billion dollar ballroom at the White House.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Raskin with Jeffries: "It's an alarming situation where now we have many of these January 6 defendants who have been picked up on other defenses. The Department of Justice is not zealously prosecuting them for other crimes they have committed ... it's a very dangerous situation."
