5 Things To Know For Your New Day-Tuesday October 2nd

How Trump landed his biggest trade win yet:

Four days before the deadline, it appeared increasingly unlikely that the United States and Canada would rally to save the three-party NAFTA framework. Intensive negotiations had yielded important progress, but the two sides remained far apart on the most contentious issues.

“It’ll be United States and Mexico,” President Donald Trump said nonchalantly at a news conference last week, just days ahead of the deadline. “We’re very unhappy with the negotiations and the negotiating style of Canada.”

Alyssa Milano: We can’t let Trump and Kavanaugh be America’s face:

If professor Christine Blasey Ford is to be believed, and I believe she is, Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator.

“Fewer hours of sleep on an average school night [is] associated with increased odds of all selected unsafe behaviors,” the authors wrote, including risk-taking while driving, such as drunken driving, potentially unsafe sexual activity, aggressive behavior and use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
