Look at this.

White House has said that the US to take 10% stake in Trilogy Metals, $TMQ.

It is up 215% in after hours.

Did someone know? Looks like it.

There was an unusual $TMQ call today, expiring next week. Usually, it gets no options volume.

It was placed JUST BEFORE close.

Unusual.

Please ALWAYS remember that SSDI/SSI & Spouse/Children Survivors in ADDITION to Seniors RECEIVE Social Security Benefits. I hear about it in reporting as Seniors & while they make up the majority of beneficiaries, we count too. It's IMPORTANT to my disability population that we're seen. Thank you.🙏💜

Social Security by Type as of 2023. 75.2% are Seniors/Retirees, 13.1% are people with disabilities and 11.7% are Survivors.

I cannot express enough how this is what has been happening for some time in Broadview. Federal agents assault, shoot chemical munitions at, and arrest protesters completely unprovoked.

And state police are now helping border patrol to combat and arrest protesters.

Great work everyone.

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · 5d

moments ago: pandemonium.

a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random.

leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders.

multiple people detained. no clue how many.

SCOTUS gave Trump the license to murder w/o consequences

He can now kill others without proof of a crime or due process

Has the military gone rogue or does Trump lie about the proof with his orders, giving our troops a believable reason to carry out the deaths, of innocent people

As a result of our lawsuit, immigrant families can still access Head Start's early education and child care services.

The Trump administration can't pick and choose who's eligible for this vital program based on the president's anti-immigrant agenda.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Effort to Bar Some Immigrant Families From Head Start

A federal court stopped the administration’s attempt to exclude some immigrant children from the nation’s largest early childhood education program, protecting millions of families while the case continues.
