Remember that time Steve Bannon destroyed a hot tub with acid that one time in 2015, and then kept emailing back and forth with Epstein right up until 2019
I vaguely remember this - but goddamn
The headline doesn’t do it justice, but i can’t think of a better way to explain the movements of a shredder, carpet & tile extractor, and cement mixer between his homes, at key moments in 2008 and 2019, in just a few words

Volunteers distributed plastic whistles and other noisemakers to alert neighbors and bring witnesses when agents were nearby. Rapid-response teams and community patrols coordinated through encrypted apps and social media to monitor activity and support families in real time.

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held “Know Your Rights” trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

There are also simple, lawful ways communities can help: business owners can choose not to serve ICE agents food or allow them to use the restroom; hotel and restaurant staff can ask to see a judicial warrant before granting access to private areas; and bystanders can legally record ICE

These cowards could have been doing this the whole time, instead of giving Trump and everyone around him a free pass to make any false claim they wanted, no matter how ridiculous.
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.
