JPM DESK: If a credit-card cap were implemented, “there would likely be a significant reduction in credit offered, .. so this would be a de facto monetary tightening. What would be the analogous number of rate hikes ..? I am not sure, but feels like it would be similar to multiple rate hikes.”

Shit like this is why they'll lose, in the long run. It's just a question of how many of us survive their defeat.
Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.
