Lemonada. This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silvers. You're listening to Pantsuit

Politics. Today we're talking about pressure surrounding the White House as Homeland Security has put the city of Charlotte on edge. The president has lavished praise on Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman. And Congress voted almost unanimously to release the government's files on Jeffrey Epstein. Then we'll turn our attention to the pressures. We're all feeling at the grocery store and elsewhere in the face of

rising prices. And outside of politics, we're going to talk a little bit about moving forward after

grief. If you have not joined us yet at Substack, we want to share that we put out a weekly,

spicy, bonus episode where we get real. It's the unfiltered version of us. I just said the

MF word on the one for this week. That's how it really gets. The stuff we're still working out

are not ready to say on the main feed. If you've been listening for years and want the full

Pantsu Politics experience, this is it, seven premium episodes every week for $15 a month. And that support makes the free feed possible. Good morning, more to say, and the spicy bonus. If you're already a paid subscriber, this is the last week to climb our referral leaderboard. The top five refers by Thanksgiving. We'll get a gift box from our team. So whether you're upgrading or sharing, head to PansuPolitics

Show.com to join in. Thank you so much for your support. Up next, let's talk about what's

been happening at the White House. The holidays bring so much joy, but also so much excess.

I've been trying to find small practical ways to celebrate the season without all the waste.

And one of the best solutions I've found is Mill. Mill is the odorless, effortless, fully automated food recycler, and it's been my one easy thing that makes reducing food waste a breeze during this busy time of year. Mill makes it so easy to keep food out of the landfill. Just dropping your food scraps from turkey bones to pie crust and veggie pills, and that's it. Mill quietly transforms them into nutrient-wrench grounds overnight. Plus, I can keep filling it for weeks. I'm so glad I have my Mill food recycler in time for the holidays because it's seriously made hosting so much easier. When our kitchen is full of people cooking, chatting, making a mess, I never have to think twice about the trash. I just toss the scraps, close the lid and it's handled. No overflowing bins, no smells, no stress. It's such a small thing, but it makes hosting feel calmer and more aligned with the kind of home I want to run, when that's thoughtful, responsible, and a little more sustainable. Add mill to your wishlift or gift one now. Get up to $200 off during their biggest sale of the season,

Thursday, November 20th through Monday, December 1st. Miss the sale, you can still get $75 off with code

Pantsuit. Visit mill.com slash pantsuit. That's mill.com slash P-A-N-T-S-U-I-T.

Sarah, Charlotte is joining a very, I don't even know the word, just depressing group of cities experiencing so much fallout from Homeland Security's operations there. More than 130 people have been arrested in what they are calling to add insult to injury, Operation Charlotte's Web, which started on Saturday.
