The latest bit of ridiculous news in our nation’s turn toward authoritarianism is the felony charges levied against the D.C. sandwich thrower. In case you missed the underlying story, in the midst of Donald Trump’s militarization on the nation’s capital, Sean Charles Dunn allegedly called a federal agent a fascist and threw a Subway sandwich at the officer.
According to charging documents, Dunn admitted to arresting officers, “I did it. I threw a sandwich.” Felony charges for assaulting a federal officer with a Subway sandwich is absolutely absurd and also the most 2025 sentence ever.
Anyway, it turns out Dunn was actually an international affairs specialist in the Justice Department’s criminal division. Emphasis on *was* because, as Attorney General Pam Bondi made hilariously apparent, Dunn has been fired from his job.
I certainly don’t condone Subway sandwich throwing — they can be a tasty treat! And the DOJ got evermore homogenized with Dunn’s firing.
