After earning an AEW World Title match all All Out, Lance Archer now knows when he will be getting his opportunity.
Archer will face current champion Jon Moxley at the company’s anniversary show, scheduled for the Wednesday, October 14th edition of Dynamite.
Archer earned the shot when he won the Casino Battle Royale at Saturday’s pay-per-view. This will be his second opportunity at AEW gold as he lost to Cody in the finals for the inaugural TNT Championship at May’s Double or Nothing.
Conversely, Moxley will be looking for the sixth defense of the title he won in February over inaugural champion Chris Jericho. He was last in action at All Out, handing MJF his first AEW loss.

A new report from Reuters on Friday revealed that President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies have sent 13,000 children—including over 400 infants—to tent cities on the Mexican side of the southern U.S. border via its Migrant Protection Protocols rule.
“The so-called Migrant ‘Protection’ Protocols are the latest installment of a racist US border enforcement strategy that uses death and suffering to deter Central Americans fleeing situations of violence and poverty *created in large part by US policies*,” tweeted advocacy group No More Deaths.
Reuters analyzed data from the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Department of Justice office that oversees immigration courts, to find the number of children sent over the border. Of the 13,000 children sent to Mexico in 2019, over 3,400 were under the age of five and 418 were less than a year old.
The news outlet decided to dig into the data after the administration refused to answer questions on how the protocols, which send asylum seekers to Mexico while they await hearings, are affecting migrants.
“The U.S. government would’t tell us how many children and babies had been sent back to wait in Mexico, often in dangerous conditions, under the Migrant Protection Protocols, so we went and found it out,” reporter Mica Rosenberg said on Twitter.
Conditions in the tent cities, reported Reuters, are dire:
Readers were shocked at the cruelty in the report.
“One mom describes arriving at the border with her 8 month old with a serious lung condition and explaining that condition to border agents,” said National Immigrant Justice Center policy director Heidi Altman. “The agents sent the family back to Mexico, where they’re sleeping on the floor of a crowded shelter.”
Ashoka Mukpo, a reporter for the ACLU, said on Twitter that the Reuters report confirmed what he saw on the border.
“This tracks with what I’ve seen in Juarez this week,” tweeted Mukpo. “Every shelter I’ve visited has been absolutely full of very young children.”
In a call to action, Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights advocate Jennifer Nagda said that the damage from the protocols was already beyond saving for some victims.
“Our government is intentionally placing children in harm’s way,” said Nagda. “Some of these children will not recover.”

Demonstrators in Chile continued their “pots and pans” protests Sunday following a week of unrest that saw hundreds arrested and the military patrolling the streets for the first time in decades.
A curfew and state of emergency are still in effect in Santiago and several other cities, The Associated Press reported.
Video posted below from online outlet El Monstrador shows a protest Sunday in Santiago’s Plaza Ñuñoa:
The country’s billionaire rightwing President Sebastián Piñera announced late Saturday that he was suspending a planned 4 percent increase in subway fares. That fare hike had prompted hundreds of young people on Monday to jump metro turnstiles and triggered protests in other cities in the country. But that may not have been the only catalyst. As The Guardian noted, the “latest protests follow grievances over the cost of living, specifically the costs of healthcare, education, and public services.”
Reuters reported Saturday:

“The center-right Pinera said he would invoke a special state security law to prosecute the ‘criminals’ responsible for the city-wide damage,” Reuters reported.

According to Santiago Mayor Karla Rubilar Barahona, two people died from a fire in a supermarket in the San Bernardo area of the capital and a third person died after being taken to the hospital.
In addition to the curfew and state emergency, the government responded to the unrest by dispatching the military to city streets.
It marks the first time the army marched through the streets of Santiago, AP noted, since 1990, when the brutal dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet, who ousted Salvador Allende in a U.S.-backed coup, ended.

“My goal is not to just make the incumbent president lose in the general election. I’m not going to do that,” Hogan said in an interview with the Associated Press. “If they’re looking for someone just to be a spoiler or to throw myself on a grenade to help someone else, that’s not me. Somebody else might be motivated that way. But I’ve got a state to run.”

Hogan has been floated as a potential 2020 presidential candidate and has refused to rule a run out.

“I don’t have the inside scoop on what it’s going to say,” Hogan said. “But if there was damaging information, if … some serious charges come out or it becomes worse than it is today, and he took a hit in the polls, then I think all bets are off.”
Pressed on a timeline for a potential challenge if Trump’s situation changes, Hogan said “most successful launches are late summer or in the fall.”
One of the most popular governors in the country, Hogan has been outspoken critic of Trump.
Other past or present Republican governors have also considered challenging Trump.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R) announced Friday he was launching an exploratory committee for a potential run.
Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) is also considering a run after falling short in 2016.
The path to the nomination for anyone thinking about challenging Trump would be slim.
At the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting in New Mexico last month, committee members voted unanimously to approve a resolution declaring the party’s “undivided support for President Donald J. Trump and his effective Presidency.”

The move came in response to a rule passed by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) last year that anyone seeking the party’s 2020 presidential nomination must do so as a Democrat.
Sanders’s supporters viewed the rule change as directly focused on him after the self-described democratic socialist sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 without formally declaring himself a member of the party.

The Independent Vermont senator caucuses with Democrats in the Senate but has long refused to consider himself a member of the Democratic Party.
Sanders filed to run for president in February as a Democrat and a campaign adviser said last month he planned to sign the DNC. pledge.
Still, he also filed on Monday to run for reelection to his Senate seat in 2024 as an Independent.
The topic of party affiliation has long rankled some in the Democratic Party, who say that Sanders has tried to reap the benefit of the party establishment while refusing to support the party as a whole.
At the same time, some of Sanders’s supporters have accused the DNC of trying to strong-arm the Vermont senator into joining the party.
During his 2016 White House bid, Sanders briefly registered as a Democrat to run in the New Hampshire primary, although he later un-enrolled in the party.

Former Rep. Beto O’RourkeBeto O’RourkeBiden will help close out Texas Democrats’ virtual convention: report O’Rourke on Texas reopening: ‘Dangerous, dumb and weak’ Parties gear up for battle over Texas state House MORE (D-Texas) on Thursday appeared to back away from his calls to impeach President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE, pointing to the 2020 election as the best way to remove him from office.
In an interview with “CBS This Morning,” the former Texas congressman, who announced his 2020 candidacy on Thursday, told Gayle King that the ballot box was “perhaps” the best place to take action against the president.
ADVERTISEMENT
It would be up to Congress, he added, to determine what the response to Robert MuellerRobert (Bob) MuellerCNN’s Toobin warns McCabe is in ‘perilous condition’ with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill’s 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE’s special counsel investigation of the president’s campaign and Russia’s election interference would be.
“How Congress chooses to address those set of facts and the findings which I believe we are soon to see from the Mueller report is up to them,” O’Rourke told CBS.
“I think the American people are going to have a chance to decide this at the ballot box in November 2020, and perhaps that’s the best way for us to resolve these outstanding questions,” he added.
The comments appeared to be a moderation of his stance enunciated last year during a CNN town hall, when O’Rourke called Trump’s defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin over election meddling during a joint press conference “collusion in action.”
“[And when in] broad daylight, on Twitter, he asked his attorney general, Jeff SessionsJefferson (Jeff) Beauregard SessionsMcCabe, Rosenstein spar over Russia probe Rosenstein takes fire from Republicans in heated testimony Rosenstein defends Mueller appointment, role on surveillance warrants MORE, to end the Russia investigation, I would say that’s obstruction in action,” O’Rourke added last October.
The El Paso native was questioned by King over whether he still believes Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election, which the president has frequently denied.
“It’s beyond a shadow of a doubt to me that, if there was not collusion, there was at least the effort to collude with a foreign power, beyond the shadow of a doubt that if there was not obstruction of justice, there certainly was the effort to obstruct justice,” O’Rourke responded.
Announcing his campaign in a video message Thursday, O’Rourke joined a crowded Democratic field that also includes the likes of Sens.

A spokesman for former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenHillicon Valley: Biden calls on Facebook to change political speech rules | Dems demand hearings after Georgia election chaos | Microsoft stops selling facial recognition tech to police Trump finalizing executive order calling on police to use ‘force with compassion’ The Hill’s Campaign Report: Biden campaign goes on offensive against Facebook MORE denied on Friday that the prospective presidential contender has a “pro-cooked” plan to pick Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as his running mate early in the primary.
“@JoeBiden has an enormous amount of respect for @staceyabrams (it is why he endorsed her!) — but these rumors about discussions on a pre-cooked ticket are false, plain and simple,” the spokesman, Bill Russo, tweeted.
ADVERTISEMENT
The denial comes amid reports that Biden’s team had discussed picking Abrams as Biden’s running mate in an early move to try to win over Democrats fearful of Biden’s age or his more centrist positions.
Abrams is African-American and a progressive, and the talk about her being paired with Biden was also seen as a way for the former vice president to make inroads with black voters.
Axios reported Thursday that Biden’s advisers were weighing Abrams as a possible pick. She was propelled to political stardom last year during her closely watched, though ultimately unsuccessful, campaign for Georgia governor.
Having Abrams on the ticket would have added diversity and progressive flair to Biden’s campaign-in-waiting at a time when many in the Democratic Party’s activist base have soured on the idea of nominating a white, older man as their 2020 presidential candidate.
Abrams, who herself has kept the door open to a potential presidential run, met with Biden in Washington last week.
Lauren Groh-Wargo, Abrams’s former campaign manager, said in a separate tweet on Friday that there had been “no grand plan hatched” between Abrams and Biden, adding that all options for Abrams’s political future are still “on the table.”
“@staceyabrams enjoyed meeting with @JoeBiden. There was no grand plan hatched and no additional conversations between the two of them or our teams since,” Groh-Wargo wrote. “She will meet with any potential or declared candidates for pres who ask while she keeps all options for herself on the table.”
The timing of the pushback from Russo and Groh-Wargo was notable.
It came minutes after the Justice Department confirmed that special counsel Robert MuellerRobert (Bob) MuellerCNN’s Toobin warns McCabe is in ‘perilous condition’ with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill’s 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE had delivered a report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election to Attorney General William Barr, something that ensures it would not be discussed thoroughly on cable news for the time being.

Bolstering allegations that the White House engaged in a cover-up to suppress evidence of wrongdoing by President Donald Trump, a National Security Council official who listened to Trump’s July conversation with Ukraine’s leader reportedly told House impeachment investigators Tuesday that the administration intentionally omitted key details from the rough transcript of the call it released last month.
The New York Times reported that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the NSC’s top Ukraine expert, told House committees during his sworn deposition that the transcript left out “crucial words and phrases” that he unsuccessfully attempted to reinsert.
“Thanks to today’s impeachment testimony, we now know White House officials deleted key details out of the record of Trump’s Ukraine call before they released it. It was never a transcript. It was a cover-up.”

“The omissions, Colonel Vindman said, included Mr. Trump’s assertion that there were recordings of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. discussing Ukraine corruption, and an explicit mention by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, of Burisma Holdings, the energy company whose board employed Mr. Biden’s son Hunter,” according to the Times.
“Colonel Vindman did not testify to a motive behind the White House editing process,” the Times added. “But his testimony is likely to drive investigators to ask further questions about how officials handled the call, including changes to the transcript and the decision to put it into the White House’s most classified computer system.”
The details emerging from Vindman’s testimony, which lasted more than 10 hours, were viewed by lawmakers and legal experts as more damning evidence of Trump’s misconduct and of his administration’s deliberate efforts to hide the wrongdoing from the public.
“Wow. This is just stunningly bad for the White House. A full on cover-up,” tweeted CNN legal analyst Susan Hennessey. “How much longer are congressional Republicans going to continue to go along with this?”
As Common Dreams reported, the White House decided to release the rough transcript of Trump’s call with Zelensky last month in an attempt to dampen outrage over a whistleblower complaint about the conversation, during which the U.S. president pressed Zelensky to investigate Biden.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House earlier this month, Trump said he “had an absolutely perfect conversation” with Zelensky and “on top of that, and maybe less importantly, frankly, but on top of that, we have a transcript of the conversation, fortunately, that’s perfect.”

“The transcript is a perfect transcript,” Trump added. “There shouldn’t be any further questions.”
Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) pointed to the president’s characterization of the transcript in a tweet responding to the Times report.
“This is damning: for weeks Trump called the call record which showed he sought foreign influence in our elections a ‘perfect transcript,'” said Beyer. “It was a doctored transcript. The White House cut out some of his words, refused to restore them, and hid the transcript in a secure server.”
Following Vindman’s deposition Tuesday, House Democrats unveiled a resolution detailing the next steps in their impeachment inquiry into Trump. The House is scheduled to vote on the resolution Thursday.
As NBC News reported, “the eight-page resolution calls for public hearings and lays out their general format, and specifically permits staff counsels to question witnesses for periods of up to 45 minutes per side, Democrats and Republicans.”
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said the resolution “will ensure a fair and public process for the American people to see the damning and full picture of the president’s betrayal.”

President Donald Trump took his hysterical response to House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry to a new level Tuesday morning by calling the congressional proceedings “a lynching,” a term that evokes the long history of racist violence against black people in the United States.
“So some day, if a Democrat becomes president and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the president, without due process or fairness or any legal rights,” Trump tweeted. “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here—a lynching. But we will WIN!”
The president’s tweet equating the constitutional process of impeachment to extrajudicial killings sparked outrage from lawmakers and commentators familiar with the horrific history of lynching.
“You think this impeachment is a LYNCHING? What the hell is wrong with you?” tweeted Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.). “Do you know how many people who look like me have been lynched, since the inception of this country, by people who look like you? Delete this tweet.”
SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) called Trump’s tweet “a disgusting and ignorant message from a man who has shown no respect for history.”
“How dare you?! Since the founding of our nation, African Americans have been lynched and killed just for being black,” Lee said.
Trump has a long and well-documented history of saying and doing overtly racist things, with many public figures calling it a fact that the president is a racist.
The Atlantic‘s Adam Serwer wrote in response to the president’s tweet that “Trump has inspired multiple acts of racist violence and his referring to impeachment as a ‘lynching’ is risible.”
“But worse,” Serwer said, “will be his toadies adopting this inversion of past and present, with the nation’s most powerful racist as a *victim* of racist violence, as a talking point.”

Thousands of high school and college students staged walkouts Friday to declare that DACA recipients are “here to stay,” days before the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear the first oral arguments regarding President Donald Trump’s decision to rescind protections for undocumented young people.
The Supreme Court, the organizers and demonstrators said, must rule against Trump’s 2017 decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which has since 2012 allowed young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children to live and work in the country.
“The students, made up of DACA recipients, undocumented students, and U.S. citizen allies, will highlight that their home is here and they are here to stay,” the immigrant rights group United We Dream said in a press advisory announcing the countrywide demonstrations.

United We Dream and other national and local groups helped organize school walkouts in Oklahoma, Washington, D.C, Florida, and a number of other states.
Widely-shared videos showed hundreds of students at U.S. Grant High School in Oklahoma City walking out of their classrooms. The students, who reportedly joined the entire Oklahoma City school district in the walkout, joined in a “unity clap” and chanted, “Here to Stay!” while gathered on campus.
At Oklahoma State University, students walked across campus chanting, “Undocumented, unafraid!”
Trump’s attack on the program has left 700,000 DACA recipients vulnerable to deportation. The Supreme Court will hear the first arguments in the case on Tuesday, while United We Dream, the Home Is Here Coalition, and other immigrant rights groups rally outside the court.
In Washington, D.C. students with Hoyas for Immigrant Rights marched on Friday from Georgetown University to the Supreme Court to rally ahead of the arguments.
In Miami, high school students made signs reading, “Home Is Here.”
School walkouts were also planned throughout the day in states including California, Illinois, and Arizona, according to United We Dream.
