Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old.

Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.

The role of Toboni's Big Dawg pays more than Pitching Analyst.
Paul Toboni just told us that Sean Doolittle will remain on the staff. Exact role is TBD.

Blake Butera said he’s talked to 20+ players. Every pitcher, unsolicited, brought up how impactful Doolittle was in their careers. Also had a previous relationship w/Simon Mathews.

Sean Doolittle is staying on the Nats coaching staff. He did not cover himself in glory last season, but keeping him still makes sense www.federalbaseball.com/washington-n...

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

Once upon a time in Hollywood...
Planet of the Apes set, California, 1967 by Dennis Stock. When eating in the canteen the extras subconsciously segregated themselves, with the orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas all sitting in groups and not mixing. Like a mirror of society.

The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season officially ends on November 30, but the outlook is very quiet out there, so it very likely ended on October 31 this year. Overall, it was a slightly above-average season with some strange characteristics.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are possible across portions of the Mid-Atlantic into the Southeast. Snow and a wintry mix is expected in the Great Lakes and portions of the Northeast. An atmospheric river continues to bring heavy rainfall and high elevation mountain snow to the West.

Advice I give (when asked) to law students and baby lawyers is never, ever compromise your ethics for anyone or anything. Once you start, the compromises become progressively easier.
Its wild to see Olivia Nuzzi get this treatment while if I break the ethics rules of my profession I'll never be a CPA again

The phrase "stay in your lane" comes to mind. WaPo should consult an airport planner or two before reflexively pontificating about a "problem" they frankly know little about.
