7. When FTX files this declaration, opposing counsel is informed. This opens a window where anyone involved in wrongdoing could be tipped off. 8. Around 6-7pm, Bahamian officials take SBF into custody w/ a statement that cites SDNY filing for extradition, but fails to say *when* https://t.co/IfdFgfjrFy — PolitiTweet.org

…their FTX proceedings should be the main one, over FTX’s US bankruptcy filing. (Big red flag 🚩) 6. Yesterday: this explosive information is exposed yesterday when FTX filed a court declaration outlining these emails, withdrawals, & dates w/ US bankruptcy court - around 3-4pm. — PolitiTweet.org

3. SBF then makes good on his offer and unfreezes FTX withdrawals just for Bahamas for a 25.5 hour window. 4. Same day, $100 million is withdrawn from FTX by 1500 unknown people in the Bahamas. 5. Nov 16th: Bahamian-appointed liquidator goes to US bankruptcy court and argues… — PolitiTweet.org

Breakdown of FTX timeline: 1. Nov 9th: SBF emails the Bahamian AG with an offer to unfreeze FTX withdrawals in the Bahamas 2. On Nov 10, Bahamian gov puts FTX in foreign provisional liquidation. This was the day before FTX was supposed to file bankruptcy in the US. Then… — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

And when I say how Congress structures it, here’s one example: 1. Your first paycheck comes in Feb. You need to work for a full month in a new city before getting paid. Your 1st month you have to pay work-required DC rent, home rent, living expenses, and furnishings w/ no income — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

And don’t let people make you feel bad about your credit. It doesn’t speak to your character or worth. A lot of folks don’t know the US credit system is not objective or reliable. It is designed to be deeply slanted against working people. But you can do this! I’ll help 💪🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Been there. This is one of many ways Congress structures itself to exclude and push out the few working class people who *do* get elected. These systems are built for people who can lean on wealth. It’s shocking how detached from reality a lot of the details are - but I got you! — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Not once in this long soliloquy does Sinema offer a single concrete value or policy she believes in. She lays out no goals for Arizonans, no vision, no commitments. It’s “no healthcare, just vibes” for Senate. People deserve more. Grateful this race & nomination has opened up. — PolitiTweet.org

If she has something real to say she can tell me in person. We’ve been on the House floor all week and she hasn’t said a word to me. Until then, I will treat this commentary for what it is: deeply unserious. Doesn’t bother me one bit and doesn’t deter me from progress. ✌🏽🇵🇷 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@Qban_Linx @ryangrim Yes. Much of the produce brought into the Hunts Point market (whose workers are 202) is brought by rail. During the strike, railworkers stood w/ us & turned trains to enforce the strike. That’s translated to a longer working relationship w/ railworkers that 202 has facilitated. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@HacknerTyler @ryangrim Perfectly reasonable. This is the best we could do w/ the hand we were dealt - WH sprung this on us & we had a window of <24h to secure sick leave when they had the votes locked to pass w/ no changes. Tanking wasn’t an option bc of GOP votes, we moved to keep sick leave alive — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@ryangrim Yes, and not just national leadership either - we followed the strategy ask of our local unions, including rank + file we’ve picketed alongside before (like 202) as well as nationals that rejected ratification. In NY-14, locals ask was yes/yes so we could send paid sick to Senate — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Glad we are on the same page re: railworkers’ paid sick days @marcorubio. A rarity, but we’ll take it. The House just sent over what you asked for: the full TA deal w/ sick days as supported and demanded by our railworkers. Can they count on your YES vote for the amendment? — PolitiTweet.org
