Connolly staffers attacked in district office by baseball bat-wielding assailant
Two staffers for Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) were hospitalized Monday after a person armed with a baseball bat entered the congressman’s district office in Fairfax, Va., and committed “an act of violence.”
Connolly, who represents Virginia’s 11th Congressional District, said the assailant asked for him before attacking his staffers. The staffers were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and the person who entered the office is in police custody, according to a statement from Connolly’s office.
“This morning, an individual entered my District Office armed with a baseball bat and asked for me before committing an act of violence against two members of my staff. The individual is in police custody and both members of my team were transferred to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries,” Connolly said in a statement.
“Right now, our focus is on ensuring they are receiving the care they need. We are incredibly thankful to the City of Fairfax Police Department and emergency medical professionals for their quick response. I have the best team in Congress. My District Office staff make themselves available to constituents and members of the public every day,” he added.
The congressman’s statement continued, “The thought that someone would take advantage of my staff’s accessibility to commit an act of violence is unconscionable and devastating.”
The incident occurred at Connolly’s office on Main St. in Fairfax, according to a tweet from city police, who said officers are “investigating the assault of two staff members. The victims are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect is in police custody.”
Connolly told CNN that the assailant struck a senior aide in the head with a metal bat and hit an intern on the side with the bat. It was the intern’s first day on the job, he told the network. Connolly said he was at a ribbon cutting for a food bank when the incident took place.
The congressman said the attacker is a constituent from his district whom he does not know. He noted that the assailant shattered glass and broke computers.
“He was filled with out-of-control rage,” Connolly told CNN.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in a statement said he spoke with Connolly “to offer him and his staff the full support of the House Democratic Caucus family in the aftermath of this horrific attack.”
The incident at Connolly’s office is the latest violent threat faced by a lawmaker amid extreme political polarization in the U.S.
The U.S. Capitol Police’s Threat Assessment Section investigated 7,501 cases in 2022, which includes investigations into concerning statements and direct threats. That was down from the 9,625 cases in 2021 and the 8,613 cases in 2020.
Despite the drop, however, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger in January said the threats against lawmakers “are still too high.”
“The safety of our Members and of our staff remains of paramount importance, particularly given the increased instances of political violence in our country,” Jeffries wrote in a statement.
“We must collectively take every available precaution to protect Members and our staff, who serve the American people with patriotism and passion and deserve to do so without fear for their safety.”
In October, a man broke into the California home of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and hit her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer. According to charging documents, the alleged attacker, David DePape, was targeting the congresswoman when he entered the San Francisco residence.
Pelosi at the time was second in line to the presidency.
DePape has since been charged with attempted murder and other state felony charges, which he pleaded not guilty to.
In February, Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) was assaulted in the elevator at her apartment building in Washington, D.C. According to a police report filed with the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, the attacker punched Craig in the chin and grabbed her neck, and the congresswoman threw her hot coffee to defend herself.
Craig’s chief of staff said she “suffered bruising, but is otherwise physically okay,” and noted that there was no evidence of the incident being politically motivated.

Wisconsin judge allows for lawsuit against fake Trump electors to proceed
A Wisconsin judge on Monday refused to break up a lawsuit filed against 10 fake electors for former President Donald Trump and two of his attorneys, saying the case could proceed in the county where it was filed.
The lawsuit seeks $2.4 million from the fake electors and their attorneys, alleging they were part of a conspiracy by Trump and his allies to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential race. It also seeks to disqualify the Republicans from ever serving as electors again.
Fake electors met in Wisconsin and other battleground states where Trump was defeated in 2020, attempting to cast ballots for the former president even though he lost. Republicans who participated in Wisconsin said they were trying to preserve Trump’s legal standing in case courts overturned his defeat.
Nine of the 10 fake electors in Wisconsin, and one of Trump's attorneys, argued that the lawsuit against them was wrongly filed in Dane County Circuit Court. Since none of them lived in that county, they argued, the lawsuit should be refiled against each of them in their respective home counties.
But Dane County Circuit Judge Frank Remington disagreed on Monday, saying the lawsuit was properly filed because, in part, at least one of the defendants appears to live in Dane County or does not present evidence to the contrary.
One of Trump's attorneys, James Troupis, and fake elector Scott Grabins, the former Dane County Republican Party chair, both live in Dane County. Neither of them provided any evidence of where they lived, the judge said. Neither did Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who practices law in the Boston area.
Attorneys for the fake electors who don't live in Dane County argued that a 2007 state law allows for venue changes to courts in the defendant's home county in cases that relate to elections or election law. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants broke several criminal and civil laws when they met at the Wisconsin state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, in an attempt to cast the state’s electoral votes for Trump.
Remington said the law requires that the case be heard in Dane County where it was filed.
“Wisconsin law does not allow the problematic consequences of ten judges simultaneously litigating the same claims in ten different courts, or ten juries — some 120 jurors — hearing the same claims and rendering ten different verdicts,” Remington wrote.
The lawsuit was filed a year ago this month by two Democratic electors and a voter. They are represented by the Madison-based Law Forward law firm and the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at the Georgetown University Law Center.
“Although likely not the last, this was just the latest effort to delay any type of accountability,” said Law Forward attorney Scott Thompson. “We are pleased this matter will be resolved in the Dane County Courthouse, just one block from where the fake electors scheme was carried out.”
Attorneys for the fake electors did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Remington last week also revived a complaint brought by Law Forward against the fake electors filed with the Wisconsin Elections Commission. That complaint sought sanctions against the fake electors.
Remington ruled last week that the complaint must be heard again because a commissioner who considered the complaint last time should have recused himself. That commissioner, Robert Spindell, also served as a fake elector and is one of the defendants in the lawsuit seeking damages.
President Joe Biden won Wisconsin by nearly 21,000 votes, a result that has withstood recounts, partisan-led investigations, a nonpartisan audit and multiple lawsuits.

Rudy the Sexual Freak
Rudy Guliani ( Ghouliani ) is getting sued for a cool $10 million bucks by a former associate and “ off-the-books” employee.
Sexual battery claim
Just ol Mushroom dick
In a civil complaint filed on Monday and seeking at least $10 million, Noelle Dunphy said Giuliani began abusing her almost immediately after hiring her as an off-the-books employee in January 2019.
She said Giuliani made clear that satisfying his sexual demands was an "absolute requirement" of her job.
In her filing -
sexual harassment has a 70-page complaint in New York Supreme Court that is chock full of graphic allegations and personal text messages.
DOH !
The actual lawsuit filed Monday goes into far more detail, including accusations that Giuliani forced her to have oral sex and intercourse, details of his alleged sexual preferences, and the revelation that Dunphy recorded some of their interactions. It seeks $10 million in damages.
‘Short Shorts’
Dunphy’s suit claims that Giuliani insisted she work out of his apartment instead of the office and “made clear that satisfying his sexual demands” was part of her employment. “Giuliani often demanded that she work naked, in a bikini, or in short shorts with an American flag on them that he bought for her,” the complaint states.
‘Forced’ Oral Sex
The complaint states that Giuliani also “forced” Dunphy to perform oral sex and “demanded” it while he took phone calls on speaker phone from clients and friends, including former President Donald Trump. He allegedly told Dunphy he “enjoyed engaging in this conduct while on the telephone because it made him “feel like Bill Clinton.”
‘Billions’ and BDSM
In March 2019, Giuliani allegedly told Dunphy “he fantasized about Wendy Rhoades in the popular television show Billions, stating ‘she wears all that black shit, she’s got a whip, and an electric prod,’” the suit alleges. The complaint claims that Giuliani also tried to force Dunphy to watch BDSM scenes, and allegedly began using abusive language toward Dunphy. “During sex, he called her a ‘cunt,’ a ‘bitch,’ and ‘Rudy’s slut,’ and discussed his interest in “BDSM’ with her,” the complaint states.
Fueled by Viagra
The complaint states that Giuliani “took Viagra constantly” while the two were working together, and would sometimes “point to his erect penis, and tell Dunphy that he could not do any work until ‘you take care of this.’” During the pandemic, when the two were not physically together, Giuliani would also allegedly demand Dunphy “disrobe during their work-related videoconferences.”
Sexy Texts
The complaint includes screenshots of several purported text messages between Giuliani and Dunphy. In one from February 2019, he tells her, “I am dreaming about you,” “you’re mine,” and “Nobody will ever have you now.” In another, asked to shower with her.
And of course his request to keep alcohol always at hand - read “ Functioning Drunk “

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/biden-vetoes-bid-congress-reinstate-tariffs-solar-panel-99368268
So Biden suspended the tariffs for 2 years to ensure the supply of panels for the companies in the US to use until the American Initiative can get in gear, and then plans to allow the suspension to expire.
"The U.S. industry applauded Biden's action, calling solar panel imports crucial as solar installations ramp up to meet increased demand for renewable energy. Less than 30% of solar panels and cells installed in the U.S. are produced here, although that number is increasing as U.S. manufacturers take advantage of tax credits included in the landmark climate law adopted last year.
Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said the congressional resolution threatened up to 30,000 American jobs while weakening U.S. energy security.
“The solar and storage industry must build more manufacturing capacity in America, and the two-year tariff moratorium provides a bridge for us to do just that,'' Hopper said. “Curbing supply at this critical time (would) hurt American businesses and prevent us from deploying clean, reliable energy in the near-term"
But republicans didn't bother to consult with the leaders of the US industry, they saw what Biden was trying to achieve, and tried to obstruct it,
to the detriment of the US solar industry, the American people, and the environment of the world.
So Biden suspended the tariffs for 2 years to ensure the supply of panels for the companies in the US to use until the American Initiative can get in gear, and then plans to allow the suspension to expire.
"The U.S. industry applauded Biden's action, calling solar panel imports crucial as solar installations ramp up to meet increased demand for renewable energy. Less than 30% of solar panels and cells installed in the U.S. are produced here, although that number is increasing as U.S. manufacturers take advantage of tax credits included in the landmark climate law adopted last year.
Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said the congressional resolution threatened up to 30,000 American jobs while weakening U.S. energy security.
