SPORTS In celebration of Black History Month, the Capitals and the Embassy of Canada will host the NHL’s American Legacy Black Hockey History Tour at the Canadian Embassy in Northwest Washington today through Wednesday.

The 525-square-foot mobile museum, which is housed in a trailer, recognizes the game’s black trailblazers, champions and young stars. It has been traveling to schools, community rinks and NHL arenas in several cities this month.

The museum features several Capitals-related pieces of memorabilia, including the stick that Reggie Savage used to score his first NHL goal — on a penalty shot — in 1992; skates worn by Mike Marson, who became the league’s second black player when he debuted with the expansion Capitals in 1974; and Devante Smith-Pelly’s gloves

O’Ree will participate in a ceremonial puck drop as part of the Capitals’ Black History in Hockey theme night when Washington hosts the Ottawa

Rocky session ends in Va. House and Senate pass budget amid scandals from state’s top leaders

Officials float compromise on Metro’s hours

STEVE HELBER (AP)

VIRGINIA Virginia lawmakers wrapped up the strangest General Assembly session in anyone’s memory Sunday, plowing through blackface and sex-assault scandals to reach a bipartisan deal on taxes and position all 140 legislators for fall elections that could determine partisan control for years to come.

The chaos overshadowed actual legislative accomplishments, including bipartisan agreement on incentives for the massive Amazon HQ2 project in Arlington, a plan to clean up coal ash ponds around the state, a law raising the legal age to buy tobacco products to 21 from 18 and pay raises for teachers and other public employees.

“Probably the most infamous session since 1861,” is how Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax, summed it up.

Efforts to pass the Equal Rights Amendment and extend discrimination protections to gays and lesbians, which initially seemed to have broad support, foundered in a climate of degenerating politics and historical irony.

Revelations that the Democratic governor and attorney general both engaged in blackface incidents as young men sparked wrenching discussions about race as Virginia marks the 400th anniversary of the first

Del. Chris Jones, R-Suffolk, center, gives a hug Sunday to Chief of Staff Robert Vaughn at the end of the 2019 session.

Africans arriving in the British colony in 1619.

Gov. Ralph Northam defied calls to resign. Attorney General Mark Herring hunkered down outside of public view for nearly a month. And the session ended with partisan discord over how to handle a pair of sexual assault allegations against Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, only the second AfricanAmerican elected statewide in Virginia’s history.

The scandals fed a national sense that the state’s leadership was in shambles just as Virginia observed another big anniversary: 400 years of representative democracy stretching back to Jamestown.

“It had more drama than we could possibly have imagined or would want to deal with,” Sen.

Barbara Favola, D-Arlington, said. Nevertheless, she said, “We got a lot done. The lawmakers kept their noses to the grindstone and the state ran.”

In a snub, the House and Senate did not did not send a delegation of lawmakers to the governor’s ceremonial office in the Capitol to report that they had adjourned, as is customary.

Northam had let them know earlier Sunday that “he would be ready to receive them,” spokeswoman Ofirah Yheskel said.

Northam got a 30-minute headsup that they would not be coming.

Most lawmakers were ready to get out of Richmond on Saturday, when final tweaks to the budget were unveiled at 11 a.m.

But House Democrats insisted on observing a rule that the

spending plan be public for 48 hours before a vote. It was payback for House Republicans, who days earlier had refused to waive other House rules to allow a floor vote on the ERA. After a long standoff Saturday, legislators agreed to cut the public notice to 24 hours. And so they returned Sunday at 11 a.m.

Both chambers were in and out in an hour. They approved changes to the state’s existing two-year, $117-billion budget, including extra money for teachers as well as at-risk public school students and eviction-prevention — two areas pushed by Northam as part of his effort to spend the rest of his term focused on solving racial inequities.

Longtime Virginia Democrat and former House minority leader David Toscano to retire

TRANSPORTATION D.C. officials are reportedly considering a compromise that would keep Metro running later but push back its opening by 30 minutes, according to a top Montgomery County transportation official.

Under the proposal, Metro would open at 5:30 a.m. weekdays and close at midnight, compared with its current 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. schedule. The system would close at 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, according to Montgomery County Council member Tom Hucker.

The region’s leaders have been in a standoff over the restoration of late-night service, with D.C. wanting to return to 3 a.m. weekend closings. City officials view this as a compromise.

Hucker said he became aware of the proposal because the county is working with Metro to study its feasibility. Hucker, who chairs the council’s transportation and environment committee, said he is concerned about the potential impact on county residents.

The Metro board is set to vote Thursday on continuing the shorter hours that have been in effect since 2016, with the start of the agency’s SafeTrack plan.

But board members representing D.C. have threatened to use a rare jurisdictional veto to block any such attempt. Metro resolutions require buy-in from at least one voting board member from each jurisdiction — Maryland, D.C. and Virginia — to pass. FAIZ SIDDIQUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT In an announcement that appeared to catch many off guard, President Trump on Sunday promised a July Fourth celebration like no other on the Mall this summer, complete with a presidential address, fireworks and entertainment — in a city that already hosts an annual concert and fireworks there.

“HOLD THE DATE!” Trump tweeted shortly before 8 a.m. “We will be having one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C., on July 4th. It will be called ‘A Salute To America’ and will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!”

It was initially unclear if the festivities Trump alluded to would complement or compete with the existing celebration on the Mall that has been held for decades. There also are no details on who would pay for it.

“While no final decisions have been made, we continue to work on creating a Salute to America program that will bring Americans from all over the country together in celebration of our great nation,” National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said in an email, raising the question of whether “Salute to America” had

It’s unclear if President Trump’s event will compete with other celebrations.

been this year’s theme all along.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump, who has asked for a military parade similar to France’s Bastille Day, has reveled in pageantry and rally-style events throughout his presidency. But his Fourth of July announcement struck some as politicizing a national holiday celebrated by Americans of all stripes and political persuasions.

“Every year, Washington, D.C., celebrates the Fourth of July with a handful of parades, a matinee baseball game at Nationals Park, a Folklife Festival on the Mall and neighborhood cookouts in all eight wards,” said LaToya Foster, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor

Muriel Bowser. “Like you, we are still assessing what will be different this year, but we know these celebrations only truly salute America when they are inclusive, diverse and welcome all.”

Trump teased the July Fourth event several weeks ago, saying it would be a “gathering” rather than the military parade he envisioned after attending a French military procession in central Paris in 2017. Trump had wanted to see tanks and other military hardware rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue on Veterans Day last year, but senior administration officials halted planning after seeing the estimated $92 million price tag.

A former Montgomery County official has been sentenced to four years in prison for embezzling more than $6.7 million in government funds. Peter Bang, who was the chief operating officer of Montgomery County’s economic development department, was sentenced Friday.

The judge didn’t immediately rule on any restitution or forfeiture owed

Sex abuse summit ends with pledge from pope

Trump administration moves to curb abortions

Victims disappointed in lack of plan to hold bishops accountable

S.C. MYSTERY

Record $1.5B lotto jackpot still unclaimed

GIUSEPPE LAMI (AP)

VATICAN CITY Pope Francis closed out his extraordinary summit on preventing clergy sex abuse by vowing Sunday to confront abusers with “the wrath of God” felt by the faithful, end cover-ups by their superiors and prioritize the victims of this “brazen, aggressive and destructive evil.”

But his failure to offer a concrete action plan to hold bishops accountable when they fail to protect their flocks from predators disappointed survivors, who had expected more from the first-ever global Catholic summit of its kind.

Francis delivered his remarks at the end of Mass before 190 Catholic bishops and religious superiors who were summoned to Rome after more abuse scandals sparked a credibility crisis in the Catholic hierarchy and in Francis’ own leadership.

“Brothers and sisters, today we find ourselves before a manifestation of brazen, aggressive and destructive evil,” the pope said.

In his final remarks to the summit, Francis noted that the vast majority of sexual abuse happens in the family. And he offered a global review of the broader societal problems of sexual tourism and online pornography, in a bid to contextualize

what he said was once a taboo subject.

But he said the sexual abuse of children becomes even more scandalous when it occurs in the Catholic Church, “for it is utterly incompatible with her moral authority and ethical credibility.”

Francis summoned the bishops from around the world to the four-day meeting to impress upon them that clergy sex abuse and cover-ups aren’t just a problem in some countries but a global problem that threatens the very mission of the Catholic Church.

He offered an eight-point pledge of priorities going forward, calling for a change in

the church’s defensive mentality and a vow to never again cover up cases. Victims, he said, must take center stage while priests must undergo a continuing path of purity with the “holy fear of God” guiding the examination of their own failures.

But survivors who came to Rome expecting solid, concrete action were disappointed.

“I have been waiting for seven years for all of this to change,” Italian survivor Alessandro Battaglia said. “There are people who have been waiting for 30 years that all this will change. Why don’t they start with something concrete like removing the bishops who cover up?” NICOLE WINFIELD (AP)

CHICAGO R. Kelly, one of the best-selling music artists of all time, remained jailed in Chicago on Sunday in lieu of a $100,000 bond payment that would allow him to go free pending his sex abuse trial.

The 52-year-old R&B star is behind bars in the 7,000-inmate Cook County Jail, according to the county sheriff’s online inmate locator. Kelly was charged Friday with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving four victims, three of whom were minors.

In bond court Saturday, a judge set bail at $1 million, requiring Kelly to pay 10 percent to go free.

Greenberg said at the bond hearing that his Grammy Awardwinning client wasn’t wealthy,

Disturbing details of the allegations against Kelly emerged Saturday when the prosecution released four detailed documents — one for each accuser — outlining the basis for the charges.

The allegations date back as far as 1998 and span more than a decade.

Each count carries up to seven years in prison, and the sentences could be served consecutively.

The walls began closing in on Kelly after the release of a BBC documentary about him last year and the multipart Lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” which aired last month. They detailed allegations that he held women against their will and ran a “sex cult.” MICHAEL TARM (AP)

EVAN VUCCI (AP)

Schiff threatens subpoena over Mueller report

President Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un are seen during their first summit last June. The stakes will be high when they meet again this week.

HANOI SUMMIT

What could go wrong

The nightmare scenario heading into the second summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un isn’t so much “fire and fury” and millions dead. Rather, some experts fear the meeting could result in an ill-considered deal that allows North Korea to get everything it wants while giving up very little, even as the mercurial leaders trumpet a blockbuster nuclear success. Here’s a look at some of the anxieties that are swirling ahead of the summit this week in Hanoi, Vietnam. FOSTER KLUG (AP)

Worry 1: A piecemeal deal

Worry 2: Kim, Trump are too aligned

Worry 3: North Korea hasn’t changed

South Korean papers have been filled with unidentified government sources suggesting that Trump and Kim might strike a deal that stops far short of the road map for the full denuclearization of the North that the U.S. has long insisted on.

Instead, Kim could agree to give up only part of his arsenal — his intercontinental missiles aimed at America, for instance, or his main nuclear reactor — in return for an easing of sanctions. There’s also fear that Trump will eventually orchestrate some sort of drawdown of U.S. troops from South Korea or an extended halt to U.S.-South Korean military drills. For Trump, such a deal could generate headlines to help distract from swirling investigations in Washington while helping assure his supporters that he’s protecting the American mainland. Kim, for his part, would be taking a huge step toward cementing the North as a nuclear weapons state and, as a bonus, driving a wedge in the U.S.-South Korea alliance that the North maintains is aimed at the overthrow of the Kim family — all without addressing the North’s arsenal of short- and mid-range missiles aimed at Seoul, Tokyo and other parts of Asia.

There’s a joke being shared by some North Korea experts: Did you hear that Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump both want the same thing from their Hanoi summit? The United States out of South Korea. Funny or not, the dark humor gets at serious doubts churned up

by Trump’s repeated public expressions of a deep wariness about the U.S.-South Korea alliance that many in Seoul and Washington see as a linchpin of northeast Asian security.

The best example may be Trump’s stunning announcement in Singapore of the suspension of annual military drills by Seoul and Washington that North Korea rails against as “invasion preparation.” Trump called the drills “very provocative,” mirroring North Korean language. Although his lieutenants say the removal of American troops isn’t on the agenda in Hanoi, Trump has said he wants to eventually bring home the 28,500 troops stationed in the South. Just this month, Trump said: “South Korea — we defend them and lose a tremendous amount of money. Billions of dollars a year defending them.”

There’s also alarm that Trump and South Korea’s dovish president are misreading North Korea. “It is now pretty clear that Trump doesn’t care that Kim isn’t going to unilaterally disarm, so long as he doesn’t embarrass Trump by visibly flight testing missiles or openly testing nuclear weapons,” said Vipin Narang, a North Korea nuclear expert at MIT. Asked recently if the North was negotiating in good faith, a senior U.S. official said: “I don’t know if North Korea has made the choice yet to denuclearize. But the reason why we’re engaged in this is because we believe there’s a possibility that North Korea can make the choice to fully denuclearize.” Still, there are big doubts about the North’s intentions. When the two leaders meet in Hanoi, Kim “will further ensnare Trump on his march toward full nuclearization, compelling Trump to make more concessions like a peace agreement and drawdown of military support for South Korea,” said Sung-Yoon Lee, a Koreas expert at Tufts University. “’Peace’ sounds very pleasant … but a peace agreement between the U.S. and North Korea and allowing Kim Jong Un to buy more time only increases the chance of war.”

Syrian state news agency: Mine left by ISIS strikes van in eastern region, killing at least 20 workers

POLITICS Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday that House Democrats will subpoena special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress if his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election is not made public.

Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said on ABC News’ “This Week” that Democrats will also subpoena Mueller’s report and are prepared to go to court against the Trump administration.

With Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation believed to be coming to an end, Democrats are seeking to ramp up pressure on Attorney General William Barr to release the full findings of the report — and suggesting what course they will take if he doesn’t.

“Well, we will obviously subpoena the report. We will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress. We will take it to court if necessary,” Schiff said. “I think the Department [of Justice] understands they’re going to have to make this public. I think Barr will ultimately understand that, as well.”

During his confirmation hearing last month, Barr said his goal would be to “provide as much transparency as I can consistent with the law.” His testimony prompted concern among Democrats that he could choose not to release any of the findings of Mueller’s team that have not already been made public.

Guaido pleads to allies Venezuelan opposition leader mulls more radical solutions to try to oust Maduro

U.N.: Afghan civilian deaths at record high

Trucks carrying humanitarian aid were set ablaze Saturday on a bridge between Colombia and Venezuela.

RODRIGO ABD (AP)

VENEZUELA Venezuela’s opposition on Sunday looked toward foreign allies led by the United States to take further steps to unseat President Nicolas Maduro, a day after a plan to coax his military to abandon him and allow in hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid ended in violence and relief trucks on fire.

Opposition leader Juan Guaido — who had secretly crossed the border into Colombia to lead the aid effort, running the risk of being barred from re-entry or arrested upon return — was scheduled to meet with regional leaders, including Vice President Pence, today in Bogota.

In a tweet late Saturday, Guaido suggested that he would entertain more radical solutions to try to oust Maduro, a reference taken by observers to mean that he may broach the subject of additional moves by the U.S., which has already imposed deep sanctions on Venezuela.

The Trump administration has also repeatedly said that a military option in Venezuela is not off the table.

“Today’s events force me to make a decision: to pose to the international community in a formal way that we must have all options open to achieve the liberation of this country that is fighting and will continue to fight,” Guaido tweeted.

Guaido’s comments suggested the opposition’s limitations after a plan they had hoped would cause deep fissures in Maduro’s military structure instead produced only modest cracks. In the face of Maduro’s military blockade of aid, they largely failed to bring in the assistance they had hoped to deliver to the neediest Venezuelans.

United Nations SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres issued

a statement Sunday saying he was “shocked and saddened” by the deaths of civilians on Saturday. He denounced the use of lethal force, and appealed for calm, urging “all actors to lower tensions and pursue every effort to prevent further escalation.”

Yet as Guaido and other opposition leaders prepared for a pivotal meeting with the U.S. and regional allies, they also appeared to be running out of options.

Last month, the U.S. imposed sweeping sanctions that

effectively cut off Maduro’s biggest source of hard currency — oil sales to the U.S. In doing so, the U.S. has already pulled the most powerful economic lever it had. The sanctions risk worsening a humanitarian crisis, since the nearly bankrupt government is the chief importer of food and medicines.

The opposition and its American and regional allies will continue trying to court military officials by promoting the promise of amnesty if they turn against

Maduro.

“There is no question that a military intervention to resolve the Venezuela crisis is more plausible than ever,” said Michael Shifter, president of the InterAmerican Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank. “Guaido’s insistence that ‘all options are on the table’ echoes President Trump’s words, first uttered in August 2017 and widely interpreted as serious consideration of military action.” ANTHONY FAIOLA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

AFGHANISTAN More civilians were killed in Afghanistan last year than in any of the previous nine years of the increasingly bloody conflict, according to a U.N. report released Sunday, which blamed the spike on increased suicide bombings by the Islamic State and stepped-up aerial attacks by U.S.-led coalition forces.

In its annual report, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said 3,804 civilians were killed last year, the highest number since the international organization began tallying figures in 2009.

Another 7,189 were wounded.

The report comes amid efforts to find a peaceful end to the 17-year war, which have accelerated since the appointment in September of U.S. peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, who will begin another round of talks with the Taliban today in Qatar.

According to the report, 63 percent of all civilian casualties were caused by insurgents, with the Taliban blamed for 37 percent of the dead and wounded, the Islamic State for 20 percent, and a collection of other anti-government groups for the remaining 6 percent.

The Afghan government and its U.S. and NATO allies were blamed for 24 percent of the dead. More than 500 civilians were killed in stepped-up aerial attacks — the highest number since documentation began in 2009. KATHY GANNON (AP)

Hijacking of flight to Dubai foiled; officers kill suspect

Trump says he will extend China tariffs deadline

Three rebels, a counterinsurgency police officer and an army soldier were killed Sunday during a gunbattle in Kashmir, officials said, as shops and businesses shut down to protest a sweeping and ongoing crackdown against activists seeking the end of Indian rule in the disputed region. The fighting triggered large anti-India protests and clashes as hundreds of residents thronged the village of Turigam in the southern Kulgam area and barraged troops with stones. An army officer and two other soldiers were injured in the fighting, which was still raging later Sunday. (AP)

A flight bound for Dubai from Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, made an emergency landing Sunday in Chittagong, Bangladesh, after a man attempted to hijack the plane, officials said. The suspect, a Bangladeshi, asked to speak to the country’s prime minister before dying from injuries in an exchange of gunfire with military commandos, officials said. The pilot made the emergency landing in Chittagong about 40 minutes into the flight, after a crew member reported “suspicious behavior” by the man.

All 143 passengers and seven crew members aboard the Boeing 737800 were safely evacuated. (AP)

President Trump said Sunday he will extend a deadline to escalate tariffs on Chinese imports, citing “substantial progress” in weekend talks between the two countries.

Trump tweeted that there had been “productive talks,” adding that “I will be delaying the U.S. increase in tariffs now scheduled for March 1.”

Trump said that if negotiations progress, he will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Florida resort to finalize an agreement.

Trump had warned he would escalate the tariffs he has imposed on $200 billion in Chinese imports, from 10 to 25 percent, if the two sides failed to reach a deal. (AP)

A miscalculation: Harper will regret rejecting Nats deal If Bryce Harper had a time machine, we all know what he would do. Or, rather, plenty of us think we know what he would do. He would have negotiated with the Nationals in September and October, gotten Washington to increase its first offer of $300 million for 10 years by a smidgen, then signed to become a career Nat. Harper never would have become a free agent at all. He would be filthy rich and happy in a town that loved his power, personality and flair — a city that gave him a dozen standing ovations for winning the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game. And he would get to continue playing before a fan base that shrugged off his flaws in fundamentals as part of the Total Bryce Package.

That’s not what happened.

Harper now appears on the verge of signing the leastsatisfying $300 million deal in the history of money. He has himself and agent Scott

Boras to thank.

When Harper appears soon for his news conference with, probably, the Phillies, he will say all the enthusiastic things that are required of a free agent who has just signed a 10year contract. Maybe he will get a few percent more than the Nats’ $300 million offer or maybe not quite as much.

But no one ever will convince me that Harper, if he had known everything five months ago that he knows now, would not have worked out a deal in D.C. And no one ever will convince me that Boras hasn’t done one of the worst jobs of any agent in misjudging the free agent market, leading his client into a box canyon — and finding no way out.

On Friday, Nats principal owner Mark Lerner reiterated almost verbatim what he told a local radio station 10 weeks ago. “We’ve moved on,” Lerner said to NBC Sports Washington. “… There was no way we could wait around. … We wish [Harper] nothing but the best.”

Only 10 Division I men’s basketball players have ever reached 3,000 career points, and two hit the milestone this month. Pete Maravich holds the record at 3,667.

JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

This winter, every imaginable factor worked against Harper and Boras. A few months ago, it seemed almost ridiculous for them not to test the free agent market.

The Nats made what, in retrospect, was a fair market offer to Harper. But, just as the Nats moved on when Ian Desmond and Jordan Zimmermann rejected nine-figure offers for contact extensions — by trading for Trea Turner and signing Max Scherzer — the team also moved on quickly from Harper, too.

Harper may win multiple World Series titles and MVP

awards in Philadelphia. This isn’t a story with a preordained unhappy ending for either him or the Nats.

But when the history of free agency is written, there may be no more stunning and unexpected chapter than the offseason when Bryce Harper became a free agent and assumed the whole baseball world would bid for him — but only the Phillies did.

And maybe for no more money than he already had in hand if he had done nothing.

CAPITALS 6, RANGERS 5 Playing at home Sunday for the first time in nearly two weeks, the Capitals brought two new additions with them as they look to refine their roster with the postseason and their Stanley Cup championship defense in mind.

But as trade-deadline acquisitions Carl Hagelin and Nick Jensen got acclimated to Washington, the Capitals found themselves in a tightly contested matchup against the New York Rangers, ultimately leaning on center Evgeny Kuznetsov for a game-winning goal with 39.6 seconds left in overtime for a 6-5 win.

“Our team hung in there, never quit and battled,” Capitals coach Todd Reirden said. “That game had a little bit of everything in it for certain and then just found a way to get the winner.”

Despite the positive production from its new players, the tight victory showed that six-on-five play remains a major issue for a Capitals squad that held a 5-4 lead for the majority of the third period. With 30.3 seconds left in regulation, the Rangers found the equalizer from Brady Skjei, forcing the overtime. Capitals goaltender Pheonix Copley was forced into big-time saves at the front of the net at the start of

and center Nic Dowd.

“For us, it is trying to find the right mix that works and that is what you are going to see here for the little while,” Reirden said before Sunday’s victory.

On Sunday, the Capitals (35-21-7) looked re-energized after Reirden described their play on the long road trip, in which they went 3-3, as “inconsistent.”

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘The Widow’ Friday on Amazon Prime

Kate Beckinsale stars in this new series about a woman who travels to the Congo in search of answers after her husband supposedly dies in a plane crash, with the circumstances of his demise shrouded in mystery.

NBC

2 Why would you opt for the drama-fueled angst of traditional reality TV when you can bask in Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman’s friendship on “Making It”?

TV’s shifting worldview Series such as ‘Making It’ have proven that reality shows don’t have to be so cynical TELEVISION Ever since “The Real World” debuted on MTV in 1992, reality TV has given us so much anger: Accusations. Betrayals. Brawls.

Plenty of chardonnay in the face. By 2006, when “The Real Housewives” reared its tripleprocessed blond head, the Mean Reality TV genre had clawed its French Tips into America’s brain.

In the past few years, though, there’s been a collective softening of the genre. Nice Reality TV, let’s call it, has become a respite from all the real-life madness we can’t control. There’s a reason each episode of “Making It,” the NBC competitive crafts

show hosted by Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman that aired its first season last summer, kicks off with Poehler announcing: “Life is stressful enough. Let’s make a show that makes you feel good!”

The Nice Reality TV formula is one that HGTV, the fourth most-watched cable channel in 2018, has been building since “House Hunters” began two decades ago. Whereas Mean Reality TV feeds on scandal, Nice Reality keeps it behind the scenes, if it must exist at all.

Today’s wave of Nice Reality TV takes HGTV’s aversion to conflict and its overwhelming whiteness and diversifies it:

We’ve been introduced to avid British bakers, a non-Englishspeaking organization expert and a rebooted “Queer Eye” Fab Five.

The latest entry in the growing pantheon of Nice is “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo,” the Netflix show from Japan’s decluttering expert, which released eight episodes at the start of this year.

Kondo smiles at the junk drawers, coos at out-of-control closets and gushes, in one insta-meme, “I love mess!”

Some of Nice Reality TV’s best examples are imports such as “Tidying Up” because maybe we’re all tired of the American penchant for bluntness. When tension happens on “The Great British Baking Show,” which has been running in the United States since 2014, it typically

gets resolved with sportsmanship and manners.

Nice Reality TV also offers us a marker of how far we’ve come.

In the series premiere of “Queer Eye,” Tom, a 57-year-old Georgia dad who drinks “redneck margaritas” in his stained recliner, is given the tools to woo a special lady into his life. Tom sobs when he says goodbye to the Fab Five and tells his lady friend that he’s never “hung out with gay guys before, and they were great.

They were so open with me, and I was open with them.”

His new worldview is the sweet promise of Nice Reality TV: Transformation doesn’t always have to be stormy and upsetting. Sometimes, it can just be plain nice. MARGARET WAPPLER

“Documentary Now!� is a show you will love or hate, or maybe both.

The series, created by “Saturday Night Live� alums Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Seth Meyers, consists of parodies of documentaries; Season 3 (11 p.m.

Wednesdays on IFC) launched last week.

If the mockumentary genre is not your thing, don’t bother.

And past seasons have been wildly inconsistent and occasionally self-indulgent. But the new cycle is off to a fine start.

Host Helen Mirren plays it totally straight as she lies and says this is “Season 52,� welcoming us to the first installment about a utopian cult.

It is quite wonderful to hear her, in her posh British accent, speak the title of the opening episode: “Batsh*t Valley.�

That mockumentary, a sendup of “Wild Wild Country,� is

Upcoming episodes include “Original Cast Album: Co-Op� (this Wednesday), a spoof of the documentary on the recording of the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company.� Only this musical is about the residents of a New York co-op building.

Arguably the biggest star recruited for this season is Cate Blanchett as sublimely haughty performance artist Izabella Barta in “Waiting for the Artist� (March 6). And if you are a fan of the deadpan absurdity of Armisen, you will be rewarded with his turn as her former lover Dino, who in a weird European accent declares, “The best art is made while eating a cookie.�

I believe that for Season 52, the creative team clearly ate a lot of cookies.

“As a California native, this is an embarrassing display by an elected official.” @MATTORTEGA, criticizing Sen. Dianne

Feinstein, D-Calif., for a video that shows her blowing off a group of students asking her to vote “yes” on the Green New Deal. As the middle and high school students plead with her to consider it, the senator says, “I know what I’m doing.” In a longer version of the video, Feinstein tells the students she “may” support it.

Not only was Pip very well-behaved on the blue carpet, he even accompanied Close as she accepted the award for best actress, gazing up at her lovingly before rolling around onstage. Close played dog-hating villain Cruella De Vil in the 1996 live-action adaptation of “101 Dalmatians.”

The couple reportedly called it quits after getting into an argument about their true intentions for the relationship, which purportedly came about because Chyna wanted to make ex-boyfriend Tyga jealous. TMZ also reported that the pair had a clash of personalities, with Chyna wanting to spend time together in private while Soulja was more interested in group hangouts. The breakup came a week after Soulja reportedly got Chyna some $20,000 in Valentine’s Day gifts. (EXPRESS)
