Federal prosecutors opposed Dunn’s lawyers’ motion to dismiss the charge, writing that Dunn was “recorded throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range.”

As we all know, the damage fall-off for a comestible projectile is pretty drastic, so the fact that it was “point-blank range” is a really meaningful detail, and definitely not meant to just be inflammatory.

Oh, also:

Since then, “sandwich guy” has become a bread-and-butter part of D.C.’s resistance to the president.

<slow clap>

Well, if the penalty would bankrupt the university, that’s not really a viable option. Also, when you’re talking about rental contracts, there actually are very serious legal restrictions on when and how you can force a tenant out.

Nothing like a hot cup of caffeinated beef stock first thing in the morning.

Well… usually the point of a contract is that it can’t just be broken. Not without some sort of penalty for the party breaking it.

It sounds like they were leasing the building from the previous owners when the university bought the building. What I don’t understand is this part:

Its lease was set to expire in April, but ICE, through the General Services Administration (GSA) which handles real estate for the federal government, unilaterally extended the lease through April of next year and has the option to remain in the building through 2028, the university says.

“Unilaterally” extending a lease seems like something that shouldn’t be possible. But the university says they have no legal recourse, so… 🤷

I’m sure all those kids deserve to be terrorized. They’re probably all ultra left-wing antifa socialist terrorists.

There, I fixed that for you, NBC.

Excercising (because running = crime)

Dude wasn’t even running. He was in his car just trying to go home after running. Turned onto his street and got pulled out of his car and assaulted.

Anya does this to me at bedtime. She waits for me to get in bed, then jumps up on the bed, walks up the length of my body, sits on my chest, gets right in my face and demands all the scritches. If she feels like we are staying up too late, she gets upset and starts meowing loudly to let me know it’s time for the evening scritches.

you definitely can, just take out their funding.

And how are you going to do that?

I’m always shocked that the federal minimum is so low. My first job in high school (bussing tables in a chain restaurant) I made $10 an hour. Plus a share of the servers tips. In 1992.

What exactly does “fighting” look like to you in this context? You keep repeating that word without explaining what you mean by it. Because I kind of feel like this is what it looks like: Making plans to regain control of the government and try to stop this sort of situation from ever happening again. It might seem boring and too little too late, but it’s exactly how the Republican party got where they are. They spent decades planning and scheming and stacking the deck in their favor. You can’t undo that overnight.

Your filing system is impeccable.

I’ve never understood why people do that. There are so many shelters that will happily take a surrendered kitten (or adult cat), no questions asked.

Thanks for taking her in. She looks like she’s very loved.

“I was crying. I think a lot of it was shock,” he said. “People kept coming up to me and saying I was brave. They were like, ‘You’re a hero.’ I don’t feel like I did anything.”

…

“I still need to heal emotionally,” Haberl said. “But I’m going back because I have to go back.”

That’s why you’re a hero, my dude.

That’s normal, though. Interior doors nearly always open into a room.

At public events, some Supreme Court justices have defended their use of the emergency docket as a legitimate response to the increase in swift presidential policy-making by executive order, as opposed to legislation passed through Congress. Offering extensive reasoning or explanation, they argued, would risk locking the court into a position that might not turn out to be its final view.

I could almost accept this reasoning on the vagueness of their rulings. But the fact that, in nearly every case, they’ve allowed the administration to keep doing things that are causing massive upheaval in the lives of thousands of people seems at direct odds with such a conservative attitude.

We had one counter-protester show up with a big flag and an “I love Trump” t-shirt. He stood facing a group of people and tried to look intimidating. It didn’t work. People were mostly laughing at him. Meanwhile the cars going by were constantly honking and waving. It honestly looked like he was there in support unless you could see his shirt which nobody driving by could.

And also, now they might start arresting protesters on suspicion of being cartel hitters or some such bullshit.

It consisted of suing the federal government and getting an injunction from a judge saying they can’t be deployed. They are there. Legally they aren’t supposed to be doing anything. Beyond that, I’m not sure what you want the governor to do. Rally his own private militia to fight them off? If he did that it would literally justify their presence there and eliminate any legal restrictions.
