Ocala, Florida dramatically blocked a newly-elected councilman from taking office Tuesday night over a 33-year-old felony cocaine conviction, WUFT reports.

The case is believed to be the first time a Florida politician has been disqualified after an election because of serious crimes.

“For the first time in nearly 40 years, Democrats have taken control of Columbus, Indiana—the hometown of Vice President Mike Pence,” Newsweek reports.

“On Tuesday, Columbus voters saw four Democrats elected to City Council seats, with only three Republican incumbents claiming re-election victory.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says President Trump would be arrested if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue, the AP reports.

“Montgomery, a city where more than half the population is black and known as the birthplace of the civil rights movement, elected an African American to the highest position in municipal government for the first time in its 200-year history,” the Montgomery Advertiser reports.

Authorities of a town in Wales will spend more than $200,000 to install public bathrooms that will ward off anyone having sex inside, Wales Online reports.

Weight sensitive floors will detect if there is more than one user in the stall at a time, and any “violent movement” will be met with the doors flying open, alarms sounding, and water raining down into the cubicle.

El Paso Mayor Dee Margo (R) told President Trump in a private meeting that he’s presenting “misinformation” about crime in his city, and pushed back when the president used a derogatory term to suggest he wasn’t a real Republican, PBS reports.

Said Margo: “He said, ‘You’re a RINO ’ and I said, ‘No, sir. I am not a RINO.’ I said… ‘I simply corrected the misinformation you were given by [the Texas] attorney general, and that’s all I did.'”

“The mayor said he was trying to debunk Trump’s false claim that El Paso had one of the highest violent crime rates in the U.S. until a barrier fence — the bulk of which was completed in 2009 — was built there.”

Jonathan Swan: “Nobody knew it was coming, nobody knew how to handle it, and a week later, senior White House officials have their fingers crossed that the president won’t turn their week upside-down once again with another tweet about a Fox and Friends segment. As the week has unfurled, people inside and outside the White House described to me how a few pokes of a keyboard by the leader of the free world sent some of Washington’s most powerful political players scrambling for cover.”

“In at least one conversation with senior aides and another discussion with an outside ally, Trump entertained the idea of declaring a state of emergency in Baltimore — an extraordinary action that would potentially open up new federal powers and funding… The idea would be to say that the living conditions in Baltimore were unacceptable and that people were suffering because their Democratic representatives let them down. So Trump would take action to fix things.”

“Trump also discussed declaring a state of emergency in other cities controlled by Democrats, including San Francisco and Detroit.”

Continuing his attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), President Trump said that residents of Baltimore are “living in hell,” CBS News reports.

Trump then claimed, without evidence, that “thousands” of people have let his administration know they’re “thankful” he’s calling attention to Baltimore, saying African-Americans are “happy as hell” he’s highlighting the “corruption” there.
