Anti-trans Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who regularly uses anti-trans slurs and calls herself a " proud transphobe," is getting called "totally befuddled" and accused of "having a sharp mental decline" by many on her side of the aisle.

The online celebrity, legal woes, and final liberation of the irate, ICE-defying DC resident known throughout the world as Sandwich Guy seem tailor-made for late-night TV wisecracking. But given that we're presently slogging through the world's stupidest fascist timeline, the Sandwich Guy set piece can give us some surprisingly useful lessons in how to mount protests that can deflate the Mussolini-style self-regard of the MAGA power elite.

A D.C. jury acquitted Sean Dunn of assaulting an officer on Thursday, delivering another embarrassing setback to the Trump administration's effort to punish Washingtonians who oppose its crackdown on the city. Dunn-aka Sandwich Guy-became a folk hero in August after hurling a sub at an officer to protest President Donald Trump's deployment of federal forces in the District's streets. His acquittal comes on the heels of many similar humiliations for the administration:

We're in a position right now, where people are going to end up being unhoused for the long-term, and we have to take action, City Councilor Angelita Morillo said, explaining a proposal to divert funds from homeless encampment removal to bolster housing and food assistance. If passed, a new budget amendment Morillo proposed November 7 would remove over $4.3 million from the city program that sweeps homeless Portlanders. Morillo submitted the proposal in advance of the Fall Technical Adjustment Ordinance (TAO),

Every day at Encore Community Services in Midtown Manhattan, I meet older New Yorkers who worked their whole lives and now face an impossible choice. They can drain their savings to pay for home care, or try to live without the help they need to stay safe at home. Medicaid, the public insurance program for people with very low incomes, will pay for long-term home care.

Back in July, in the wake of Trump's struggles to distract from his own Epstein cover-up and as if in response to Tulsi Gabbard's wild rants about the Intelligence Community Assessment, the FBI Director posted this tweet, RTing an inflammatory tweet from a propagandist who has been central to Kash's disinformation about the Russian investigation. Buried in a back room at the FBI, Kash claimed, was what John Solomon called "the smoking gun evidence ... [i]f it is authenticated."

Leaving the Kennedy Center is a possible scenario after a collapse in box office revenue and shattered donor confidence in the wake of Trump's takeover, said Zambello. It is our desire to perform in our home at the Kennedy Center, she said. But if we cannot raise enough money, or sell enough tickets in there, we have to consider other options. The two things that support a company financially, because of the takeover, have been severely compromised, she said.

Plagued by later legal, health and personal problems, Strawberry was indicted for tax evasion and eventually pleaded guilty in 1995 to a single felony count. That was based on his failure to report $350,000 in income from autographs, personal appearances and sales of memorabilia. Strawberry agreed to pay more than $430,000 as part of the case. He was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent surgery and chemotherapy in 1998.

Because without the pressure coming from the United States government I'm speaking 2022 the Europeans would not take that hard line, what they have today, on the war So the pressure was coming from the United States to be more pro-war in Europe. We have to restore something which was ruined and created from here, Orban concluded. That was an enormous mistake, what we have done the Western world several years ago, and we have to stop it.

Orban, who has often criticized Europe for taking what he called a "hardline" stance on Russia over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, said that Russian energy was "vital" for Hungary. He added that Hungary's landlocked geographical position limited the country and forces it to buy Russian oil exports through the Druzhba pipeline, which runs across Ukrainian territory. Cutting access would carry deep consequences for Hungarians, Orban said.
