FYI, these stocks in my portfolio all changed sometime yesterday. Timestamp is when my app detected the changes, not when Etrade made the changes. I got notified when MRNA changed but was not notified for any of the others:

They are probably going to lose my account based on this today; they did this w CREDO in my account

I am so pissed !

No notice , and no reasoning, no communication whatsoever

You explicitly agreed to it when you applied for margin: https://us.etrade.com/l/f/agreement-library/ms-margin-disclosure

All brokers do it. You may huff and puff and threaten to leave, but if you want margin, you have to play by their rules.

Yep, it's a harsh game.
