This is a year old video that @washingtonpost.com is passing off as having happened on Tuesday

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 21d

Erosion, rising seas and churning storms have caused the collapse of a dozen homes along a stretch of the Outer Banks in North Carolina over the past five years.

The latest incident came Tuesday, when an unoccupied, two-story, wood-shingled home crumbled into the surf. https://wapo.st/4pL86wL

when I was in grad school we used to intentionally put a typo on each page of our papers. If the prof caught it, we knew they were reading the paper.

Watch every second of this video: what is happening in USA.

Armed ICE agents tried to interrogate kids of color -- all of them U.S. citizens -- who were at baseball practice in NYC.

ICE agents then harass coach but he knew his and the kids' constitutional rights.

ICE interrogate kids at youth baseball practice—threatens to arrest coach when he defends them.

Every kid on team is U.S. citizen.

"Agent said if kids are here legally, what do they have to lose," coach Youman Wilder explained.

"I told them they still have their 5th & 4th Amendment rights."

He may not be able to do anything according to laws and regulatory authority and rules. But it seems Carr, like Trump, could do whatever people and other institutions will allow him to do

Thank you for your no vote on CR. As a citizen of DC, thank you for this bill as well. Please lean on Schumer to step down.
