The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

By law, ATCs will have their back-pay restored after the shutdown ends—although President Trump suggested Tuesday that might not happen. Air traffic controllers are scheduled to receive a partial paycheck on Tuesday, Oct. 14, and a zero paycheck two weeks later. www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

Air Traffic System Under Shutdown Strain—What To Expect Wednesday

Cracks in the air travel system are widening, as air traffic controllers bear the strain of an understaffed system and no pay until the government shutdown ends.

Pope Leo met with US bishops at the Vatican, telling them to firmly address inhumane treatment of migrants. He’s received dozens of letters expressing fears, and the pontiff “is very personally concerned about these matters,” said El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

If you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans.

📌 The top 10 states facing the highest projected premium increases are all Republican led.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Speaking of #GlobalUncertainty

Also, countries are moving away from USD. Central banks are selling US treasuries and buying gold.

www.bbc.com/news/article...

Gold is seen as a so-called safe haven investment, which is expected to retain or increase its value during times of market turbulence or economic downturns.

By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Mike Johnson is pulling a mini insurrection. He didn't scale the Capitol wall, but he's overthrowing electoral outcomes from within.
Btw, this pedo "adopter" should've rotted in jail a long time ago.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

First time a property insurance company defaulted on its bond obligations in #China worth ¥5.3 billion yuan ($730M USD). Property insurance are always thought of as too big to fail much like Lehman Brothers. I guess we are in an era where anything can fail.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
🏮🏮🏮
祝你和你的家人中秋節快樂。

The Moon is going to look spectacular tonight! She never disappoints. 🩷

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a harvest festival celebrated in Chinese culture. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar.[1] On this day, the Chinese believe that the moon is at its fullest and brightest, coinciding with the time of harvest in the middle of autumn.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.
