“Nobody, or nearly nobody, plans to end his day at the Subway on 14th and U Street. Plopped next to a long-abandoned smoke shop, over a gay bar that will soon host its ‘Caked Up’ pageant, the restaurant stays open 24/7 for people who need hearty, unsurprising sandwiches to pre-empt their hangovers. The U Street Subway is now the most famous franchise in the country, and Sean Dunn its most famous patron. On Sunday night, a bystander filmed Dunn arguing with federal officers who had been dispatched to the intersection, then hurling a sandwich at one of them, then fleeing in his pastel polo and shorts. Dunn lost his job at the Justice Department, tried to turn himself in, and was instead apprehended by 20 officers, according to his attorney, and to the White House’s fancam video of the arrest.” (08/15/25)
