TRANSPORTATION As of Saturday, streetcars are back carrying the public in the nation’s capital. The last generation of passengers paid 15 cents for their final ride Jan. 28, 1962. For the next six months, riders won’t have to pay even that. Here are answers to a few frequently asked questions. D.C.

ended up on the Hopscotch Bridge. How often do they run? Every 15 minutes, with a goal of getting that down to about every 12 at some point. I plan to responsibly enjoy alcoholic beverages along H Street on Saturday night. How late do the streetcars go? Until 2 a.m.
How much does it cost? Can I use my Smartrip card? It’s free for at least six months. Smartrip cards likely won’t work, officials said. Payment will eventually be on an honor system, where people buy tickets at a kiosk and ticket-checking enforcers mill about. What things can’t you do on board? According to the signs, people should not: Ride With Dangerous or Flammable Items; Smoke; Ride With Pets (except service animals); Eat or Drink; and Litter or Spit. Can I push a stroller onto the streetcar? What about a wheelchair? Yes to both. The streetcars sport a complex hydraulic system meant to allow “level boarding,” meaning that people are supposed to be able to roll right on. MICHAEL LARIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

FAIRFAX COUNTY The smiley face, heart, praying hands and other “emoji� have become the way millions of Internet users playfully punctuate their texts, posts and messages, but for one middle schooler, the icons brought the police to her door. The 12-year-old from Fairfax, Va., has been charged with threatening her school after police said she posted a message on Instagram in December laden with gun, bomb and knife emoji. It read in part: Killing “meet me in the library Tuesday�
As the emoji and its relative the emoticon have rocketed from Web slang to the unofficial language of the Internet age, the case is one of a growing number in which authorities contend the cartoonish symbols have been used to stalk, harass, threaten or defame people. And that has left the police and courts wrestling with how to treat a newly popular idiom many still dimly grasp. A grand jury in New York City recently had to decide whether represented a true threat to police officers. Emoji even took a turn in the Supreme Court last year in a high-profile case over what constitutes a threat. “Emoji are new enough that people are finding their footing,� said Tyler Schnoebelen, a linguist and founder of a company called Idibon. “Almost all of these cases have emerged in the past couple years. They are all going into fresh legal territory.� Emoji are icons of faces, hand gestures, fruits, animals and other items that can be embedded

in text. They are often used to indicate the tone of a message or are shorthand for things or ideas. Emoji shot to popularity in the U.S. after Apple included an emoji keyboard on its iPhone in 2011. The advertising company Swyft Media estimates that 6 billion emoji and other pictograms are sent each day. That rise has led to challenges. Police are trying to judge just how serious to take threatening messages using emoji, which are most often deployed in a lighthearted manner. Attorneys have argued over whether emoji should be presented to juries as evidence. Experts say the biggest problem is simply determining in court what a defendant actually intended by sending a particular emoji. Is a winkie face emoji ironic, flirtatious or menacing? What exactly do the popular dancing girl or grinning pile of poo emoji actually mean — if anything — when appended to a message?

Emoji have no set definition and their use can vary from user to user and context to context. “You understand words in a particular way,� said Dalia Topelson Ritvo, assistant director of the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard Law School. “It’s challenging with symbols and images to unravel that.� Ritvo said some of these issues will likely play out in Fairfax. Ritvo said the girl’s message sounds threatening, but prosecutors and the judge will have to sort out whether the bomb, gun and knife emoji indicated a desire to threaten the school, simply anger or something else entirely. Other cases have run aground on similar distinctions. Last year, a New York City teen was charged with making a terrorist threat after posting a message on Facebook that read, “N—a run up on me, he gunna get blown down,� followed by a police officer emoji and three gun emoji pointed at the icon’s head.
A grand jury later declined to indict Osiris Aristy, 17, on the charge and his attorney said the case was one of overreach by law enforcement. Fred Pratt said he’s seen other clients use emoji the same way. “I think something is definitely lost in translation,� Pratt said of the police interpreting teens’ emoji use. “These kids are not threatening cops, they are just trying to say, ‘I’m tough.’ It’s posturing.� Bradley S. Shear, a Maryland attorney who specializes in Internet issues, said the issues surrounding emoji and the legal system will only proliferate. “These cases are only increasing,� Shear said. “The more people are using their cellphones and posting on the Internet, the more emoji will creep up as evidence in cases.� And that could leave judges wanting to type: † = @ @ † JUSTIN JOUVENAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Prince William County, Va., board reduces concealed-handgun permit fees from $50 to $15
THE DISTRICT District regulators rejected a proposal Friday to allow Chicago-based Exelon to merge with Pepco, halting the deal for a second time and sending supporters scrambling to salvage a pact to create the nation’s largest electric utility. The D.C. Public Service Commission voted 2 to 1 against a $78 million plan negotiated chiefly by Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office. Under that plan, the city would have held down residential rates for the next four years and directed tens of millions to environmental projects and lowincome energy assistance and workforce-training programs. But the PSC said the way Bowser intended to spend the money utilities were willing to pay the city in exchange for support was “not in the public interest.� A majority of the commission found there was no “persuasive rationale� for giving residents almost $26 million to cushion expected rate increases through 2019. That would exacerbate an imbalance in which businesses and the federal government subsidize residential rates in the nation’s capital, the PSC said. But the commission offered a narrow path forward to keep the $6.8 billion merger on track. It said Pepco and Exelon could reapply with new terms, under which the PSC would decide how the $26 million is allocated. AARON C. DAVIS AND THOMAS HEATH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Three Muslims killed ‘execution-style’ in Ind. FORT WAYNE, IND. Police in Fort Wayne are investigating the deaths of three young Muslim Americans who were killed “execution-style” last week. They were members of a diaspora community from Africa’s eastern Sahel region, according to Al Jazeera. The three victims — 23-yearold Mohamedtaha Omar, 20-yearold Adam Mekki and 17-year-old Muhannad Tairab — were discovered with multiple gunshot wounds inside a home that police labeled a “party house,” according
to ABC affiliate WPTA-TV. Police said the home was a place with little supervision, where young people in their teens and early 20s gathered for fun. The home was on the radar of Fort Wayne police’s gang and violent crimes unit in recent weeks, but Fort Wayne Police Chief Garry Hamilton told The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne that the victims did not have any known gang affiliations. “A lot of young people would come and go to this house,” Hamilton said. Investigators said they believe

“If he were to order that once in government, the American armed forces would refuse to act. ... You are required not to follow an unlawful order.”
the killings occurred within a onehour window, between the time a group of people left the home and later returned to find the victims. Hamilton said it would be hard for one person to carry out three killings at once, leading investigators to suspect that more than one person was involved. Rusty York, the city’s public safety director, said investigators do not think the killing was motivated by the victims’ religious affiliation. But many critics said the link was unmistakable.

Clinton planning ahead Democrats are stockpiling ammunition about Republican front-runner Trump Trump declines to condemn ex-KKK leader
GETTY IMAGES
POLITICS Emboldened by her South Carolina landslide, Hillary Clinton is shifting her focus to Republican front-runner Donald Trump as her party seeks consensus on the best ways to challenge the billionaire’s unpredictable nature in a general election. As Clinton enters the series of Super Tuesday contests this week, allies of the former secretary of state, unaffiliated Democratic strategists and the national party are stockpiling potential ammunition about Trump, reviewing reams of court filings, requesting information about his business dealings from state governments and conducting new polls to test lines of attack. Among the likely options: questioning Trump’s qualifications and temperament to be president, scrutinizing his business practices and bankruptcy filings, and re-airing his inflammatory statements about women and minorities, who will be central to the Democrats’ efforts in November. “Is this the guy you would trust with the nuclear codes? Is this the guy you would trust with your son or daughter in the military? Is this the guy you would trust to run the economy?” asked Gov. Dan Malloy of Connecticut, a Clinton backer, pointing to a likely argument from Democrats. Clinton, celebrating her rout of Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in South Carolina’s primary Saturday, took direct aim that evening at Trump’s message. She told supporters, “Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again. America never stopped being great. “But we do need to make America whole again. Instead of building walls, we need to be

tearing down barriers.” While party leaders see Clinton in a favorable position against Trump, they caution that he has shown a mastery of the media and an ability to stay on offense throughout the GOP primaries. And they acknowledge Trump has successfully tapped into a deep vein of economic insecurity running through the electorate. “Any race he is in is unpredictable,” said David Brock, a Clinton supporter who oversees several Democratic super PACs. “Any strategy we come up with today is going to have to be awfully flexible because we don’t know what to expect from this guy.” Clinton aides and allies also worry that Trump’s unorthodox constituency of working-class white voters might allow him to put more states in play — particularly Midwestern swing states such as Ohio and Wisconsin — compared to past nominees like Mitt Romney and John McCain. And they note large voter turnouts
The latest ON THE OFFENSIVE: A growing sense of urgency among GOP stalwarts to settle on a Donald Trump alternative has led Marco Rubio to try to beat Trump at his own game, marked by mockery. On Saturday, Rubio went after Trump’s spelling errors on Twitter, his hair and his “spray tan.” KEY ENDORSEMENT: N.J. Gov. Chris Christie on Friday endorsed Trump, delivering a surprise and a powerful boost to the GOP front-runner, whom Christie called the best candidate to lead the country and beat Hillary Clinton. TAX DETAILS: Rubio and Ted Cruz released summary pages of their tax filings Saturday, seeking to capitalize on Trump’s refusal to release his.

20 percent of Republicans are “uncertain” whether they would back Trump or Clinton in a headto-head matchup. The poll found that Trump’s share of the vote among Catholics and moderates is vulnerable. “If you have Republican validators like Sen. McCain and other Republicans in the foreign policy establishment saying they can’t trust Trump, there’s a potential for a splintering off of huge Republican base voters,” pollster Stan Greenberg said. Trump has previewed some attack lines he would use against Clinton, describing her as a liar and failed secretary of state who would have been indicted over her email scandal were she not so cozy with President Barack Obama. Trump has made clear he’s ready to bring up her husband’s past infidelities and suggest she was complicit in what he describes as the former president’s abuse of women. KEN THOMAS AND LISA LERER (AP)
POLITICS Presidential candidate Donald Trump is drawing criticism for refusing to denounce an implicit endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, above, with Fla. Sen. Marco Rubio using the matter to hammer the billionaire businessman ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries. Trump was asked Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether he rejected support from the former KKK Grand Dragon and other white supremacists after Duke told his radio followers last week that a vote against Trump was equivalent to “treason to your heritage.” “Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. OK?” Trump told host Jake Tapper. “I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists.” The comments sparked a wave of censures, with just two days to go before 11 states hold Republican primaries involving about a quarter of the party’s total nominating delegate count. Trump was also asked Friday by journalists how he felt about Duke’s support. He said he didn’t know anything about it and curtly said: “All right, I disavow, OK?” The comments garnered backlash from rivals on the campaign trail, including Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Democrat Bernie Sanders. BILL BARROW AND THOMAS BEAUMONT (AP)

Surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio announced that they have performed the country’s first uterus transplant. The uterus, from a deceased donor, went to a 26-year-old woman. The surgery took nine hours and the patient was reportedly in stable condition. She was one of 10 women selected for the approved clinical trial of the procedure. The women were born without uteruses or had to have them removed. For women with cultural, religious or personal conflicts with surrogacy, uterus transplants could make it possible to bear biological children.
U.S. officials issued their strongest travel warning yet regarding the Zika virus, urging pregnant women to “consider not going” to the Summer Olympics this August in Rio de Janeiro. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is closely monitoring the outbreak of the virus in Brazil, which is suspected of causing possibly thousands of birth defects. The CDC said that at least two women in the United States with Zika have chosen to have abortions. Two others had miscarriages, one woman gave birth to an infant with serious birth defects and two delivered healthy infants. (AP)

THREE POINTERS
Safety-first celebrating
Capitals fall in matchup of NHL’s elite BLACKHAWKS 3, CAPITALS 2 Nate Schmidt started to pull up as he and Chicago’s Richard Panik raced for a puck crossing the goal line in the Washington zone. The Capitals were expecting an icing call, but a whistle never came. With two Washington players battling Panik for the puck, he was able to kick it in front of the crease, where Dennis Rasmussen was left alone as Jay Beagle and Brooks Laich trailed well behind after seemingly anticipating a stoppage. Rasmussen scored, and the goal was the clincher Sunday for the Blackhawks in a 3-2 win over the Capitals. For Washington, it was a game of missed opportunities that was decided by Chicago capitalizing on chances like that one. “I think the refs [made] a couple of bad calls,” Alex Ovechkin said.
Capitals coach Barry Trotz said: “Tough night for the linesmen tonight, I’ll tell you.” Beagle said he and Laich weren’t easing up on the play, but rather, they were checking the location of Chicago’s defensemen behind them. Goaltender Braden Holtby said “everyone” was expecting an icing whistle. “It’s not an excuse,” Holtby said. “Calls are made like that every game. We have to make sure we’re aware, and obviously, my awareness of that guy in front wasn’t very good. I could’ve played it better.” For Trotz, the trouble started with Washington not being ahead after the first period. The team has made a habit of starting slowly, giving up the first goal in seven straight games and 14 of its past 17. Sunday’s start, however, was arguably the Capitals’ best since the All-Star break. They came out physically, tallying 21 hits in the first period while also possessing the puck for most of it.

Washington wastes a strong first period in loss to Blackhawks
The Orioles banned their postgame pie-inthe-face tradition, citing safety reasons. Here are a few celebrations we’d like to see go extinct as well. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)
The Blackhawks’ Andrew Shaw checks Matt Niskanen on Sunday in Chicago as the first-place Capitals lose for the second time in three games.
Now, this is dangerous. Arizona coach Sean Miller recently said it needs to stop before one of his players punches a court-rushing fan in self-defense.
2 Meaningless plays
Washington had a 16-6 shots-ongoal advantage in the first period. “How we played the first period, I don’t think anyone can hang with us,” Ovechkin said. But the teams went to first intermission tied 1-1. “We should’ve been ahead in that first period, maybe by more than one goal,” Trotz said. Chicago took the lead in the second period with a Jonathan Toews power-play goal, and with Washington trying to tie the game in the third period, Rasmussen’s tally put the Capitals in a two-goal hole from which they couldn’t recover. The game was dubbed as a potential Stanley Cup finals
preview, a matchup of two of the league’s top teams. There’s a lot of time before a potential June meeting, and maybe Sunday’s game was a good step for Washington in fixing its pattern of poor starts. But if the game was a measuring stick, then the Capitals didn’t feel they measured up in the way that matters most to them. “We played better today as a whole, but losing sucks,” defenseman Matt Niskanen said. “I don’t care what anyone says about playing well and taking moral victories. That’s dumb; I hate that. I’d rather win. It sucks today.” ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Score a TD? Go crazy. But maybe you shouldn’t work on your “Dancing with the Stars” audition tape after a 3-yard catch. Also as a rule: No celebrations when you’re down by double digits.
1 Gatorade bath This was awesome when it originated … in 1984. Let’s retire the over-used postgame tradition of giving winning coaches pneumonia and do something a little more original.

Desmond reaches deal with Rangers
Free agent Ian Desmond finally found a home. According to reports, the longtime Nationals shortstop reached a one-year, $8 million deal with the Rangers on Sunday. In November, he turned down a $15.8 million qualifying offer from Washington. With Elvis Andrus at shortstop, Desmond, 30, is expected to move to left field. Before the 2014 season, he turned down an extension that would have paid him $107 million over seven years. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WIZARDS 113, CAVALIERS 99 For the third time in eight days, the Wizards faced a team ahead of them in the Eastern Conference standings without at least one of its All-Stars. LeBron James was in uniform at Verizon Center on Sunday, but he watched from the end of the Cavaliers’ bench to give his body a day off in the midst of three games in four days. Recent history suggested James’ absence could have been a curse more than a blessing for the Wizards, who lost to the severely depleted Heat and Bulls over the previous week. But the
Wizards, desperate for wins for a playoff push, displayed a sense of urgency absent in those defeats to capitalize on James’ respite with a resounding 113-99 victory. The Wizards improved to 2830 with the win — their fifth straight at home and second straight overall — with the 76ers and Timberwolves, two of the NBA’s worst teams, next on the schedule. The first-place Cavaliers dropped to 41-17 and 3-12 without James since he returned to Cleveland last season. John Wall paced Washington with 21 points, 13 assists, and

seven rebounds in 30 minutes, falling three rebounds short of his third triple-double of the month. Otto Porter Jr. also scored 21 points, including 15 in the third quarter, when the Wizards stretched a nine-point halftime lead to 26. Bradley Beal added 17 points in 25 minutes off the bench. Kyrie Irving netted 28 points and six assists, but Kevin Love, Cleveland’s other go-to option, was held to 12 points and five rebounds. Iman Shumpert also had 12 points in 34 minutes off the bench.

REVERSE TYPE II DIABETES You’re Invited to a Free Diabetic Event
Here is what Drs. Chaney’s patients are saying... “When I started my A1C was 12.5 - it was terrifying. The program to me was life changing. When I thought I was eating right they let me know that what I was eating was good for some people but it wasn’t good for me. I thank God for Dr. Steph and Dr. Tom Chaney because they turned my life around.” -Milton A.
“I am reporting to you three years after joining the program. I am 50 pounds lighter, I am happier, healthier and my A1C is no longer 13 but 5.4.” -Glennis G.
“When I started this program my A1C was 8.9. My current A1C is 5.7. I was taking Metformin and two types of blood pressure medications. My blood sugars before the program were running in the 180’s. Now my blood sugars are running in the 110’s. After 2 months in the program my doctors stopped my Metformin - that was phenomenal! I’ve also lost 25 pounds.” -Marissa M.
“My first visit was very pleasent. My second visit is what changed my life. I have been a patient for 6 months. My A1C has gone from 6.6 to 5.7. I started out 70 pounds heavier. But coming to Living Health wasn’t about weight loss it was about type 2 diabetes. As you can see from my numbers that my type 2 diabetes has been reversed which is the intent of the program.” -Anita J-W.
“I can not tell you how great I feel. My energy is way up and my sleep is so much better. I am thrilled with Dr. Tom and Dr. Steph for helping me regain my personal health and reverse my diabetes.” -Barry B.
“I was diagnosed with diabetes just a year ago. It’s only been about four months since I started the program and it’s been life changing. I am no longer on the medication I was on. My A1C levels have dropped to pre diabetic almost non diabetic.” -Esha D.
“I came to this program because my A1C had drastically gone up to 9.2 and I was 215 pounds. Six months into the program my A1C dropped from 9.2 to 6.2 and my weight has dropped from 215 pounds to 195.” -Wayne B.
“All I can say is it really works. I’ve been in the program for 5 months and I feel like a whole new woman. I’ve lost 40 pounds, I’m not on any diabetic medication anymore - that stopped pretty quick! My A1C went from 7.8 to 6.” -Cheryl L.

‘Ridiculous’ Curry has his peers in awe NBA Somehow, Stephen Curry still has detractors. Perhaps this latest shot will quiet Oscar Robertson and some of the old-timers trying to discredit the Warriors’ superstar. Curry barely crossed halfcourt Saturday night before nailing a 3-pointer in overtime to beat the Thunder 121-118 in Oklahoma City. He scored 46 points and drove a dagger through one of the playoffbound Warriors’ toughest rivals. He also tied Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall for the singlegame record with 12 3-pointers and broke his own record for 3-pointers in a season, setting the new mark at 288 — and he still has 24 games to build on that. Robertson said this week on ESPN’s “Mike & Mike” show that players and coaches don’t know how to properly defend Curry, and that the Warriors don’t really run plays or have a strategy. He suggested Curry wouldn’t be as effective in his day, when the game was more physical. Isiah Thomas and Stephen Jackson also recently downplayed the achievements of Curry and the Warriors. Thomas said weak perimeter defense in today’s NBA has made outside

shooting easier, and Jackson suggested his 2007 Warriors could beat this season’s juggernaut. Curry might not have convinced every star from yesteryear, but it’s clear he has the respect of his peers. L eBron Ja mes tweeted, “@StephenCurry30 needs to stop it man!! He’s ridiculous man! Never before seen someone like him in the history of ball!” Dwyane Wade tweeted, “Curry is UNREAL!!!!” Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan: “He can’t be human.” Curry, the league’s scoring leader and reigning MVP, doesn’t think all that much of it. “Honestly, I don’t know exactly where I am, so it’s not like I’m calibrating in my head, ‘All right, 38 feet, 37, 36,’ ” he said. “Just literally, you’ve got a sense of — I’ve shot the shot plenty
of times, you’re coming across halfcourt and timing up your dribbles, and you want to shoot before the defense goes in. And that was pretty much my only thought.” Curry no longer surprises backcourt mate Klay Thompson. “Everybody in this locker room, we’ve seen him practice from that range every day,” Thompson said. “He’s got the greatest range I’ve ever seen.” If it seems hard to believe sometimes, well, Curry understands. “I never would have thought at this point in the season I would be closing in on 300 [3-pointers] and all that kind of stuff,” he said. “That doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve always tried to push the envelope and keep getting better, but a lot has to go right to get to this point.” CLIFF BRUNT (AP)

‘The Voice’
Politics lately: How do Jon Stewart’s heirs hold up?
A new season of the hit singing competition starts with the blind auditions. Christina Aguilera rejoins the coaching/judging panel, alongside Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams.
‘Last Week Tonight’ (11 p.m. Sundays on HBO) Host John Oliver is a Stewart alum who surpasses the master. His rants are brilliantly funny (Jeb Bush is “the side of plain white rice that nobody ordered”) and highly factual (Oliver quotes the Constitution to reaffirm that the president’s job is to appoint Supreme Court justices). When topics are intense, like abortion, he offers treats for viewers who don’t tune out during the segment, like a video of a bucket full of sloths.
‘A Year in Space’
Larry Wilmore of ‘The Nightly Show’ mocks presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton for pandering to black voters.
that banned state-funded rape crisis counselors from referring rape victims to abortion services.
‘The Nightly Show’
‘The Daily Show’
‘Full Frontal’
(11 p.m. weeknights on Comedy Central) Trevor Noah, the South African comic who took over Stewart’s show, tries hard but is often a bit too obvious. After a weary Jeb Bush told a crowd, “Please clap,” Noah lamely joshed, “He couldn’t even get the clap.” Still, Noah has promise. When he ran tape of Melania Trump speaking Slovenian-accented English, he cried: “Hold on, Trump’s wife speaks immigrant?”
(10:30 p.m. Mondays on TBS) Host Samantha Bee is the only woman in the late-night crowd. The thrill of her act is the contrast between her wide-eyed delivery and her dead-certain aim. Assessing the media’s claim that John Kasich is “moderate,” she wonders if he’s truly “the least disgusting stall” in a “nauseating” bus station restroom. She points out what the rest of the media seem to have forgotten. For example, in 2013, the Ohio governor signed a law

2 COMEDY CENTRAL
Where have you gone, Jon Stewart? Oh, that’s right, you quit “The Daily Show” just when we need you most, on the eve of a presidential campaign so nutty that just last week, candidate Marco Rubio accused candidate Donald Trump of peeing his pants. To make sense of it all without your keen wit, we turn to your heirs: the politically minded hosts of late night. Let’s see how they’re faring.
8 p.m. Monday on NBC
(11:30 p.m. weeknights on Comedy Central) For the sharpest take on racial issues, avuncular Larry Wilmore is the man. Last week he gave Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders grief for the tone-deaf way in which they “kiss some black ass”: Sanders by fist-bumping rapper Killer Mike, Clinton by proclaiming that she’s targeting “as many [AfricanAmerican voters] as possible.” Advises Wilmore: “Hillary, just a little tip: When talking about targeting black people,
you probably shouldn’t say ‘as many as possible.’ ”
8 p.m. Wednesday on PBS
This new series examines the experiences of twins Scott and Mark Kelly: Scott while aboard the International Space Station and Mark at home on Earth. Mark is used to gauge any changes in Scott during his time in orbit.
‘The Late Show’ (11:35 p.m. weeknights on CBS) Stephen Colbert abandoned his blowhard conservative alter ego when he took over the David Letterman chair. But amid the celebrity interviews, he dabbles in politics and is always on point: “Marco Rubio [is] just saying the election’s not getting any younger and America needs to settle. He might not be the president of your dreams, but you’ll learn to love him.” If only Colbert would do nothing but politics.

In a special premiere of this Sunday night drama, Joan Allen plays the mayor of a Maine town where her kidnapped son returns just as she declares her gubernatorial bid. (TRIBUNE MEDIA)

BOX OFFICE HAUL
The box office take of “Deadpool” this weekend, continuing to dominate movie theaters for the third weekend in a row. The comic adaptation has pulled in $285.6 million domestically. “Gods of Egypt” debuted in second place with $14 million, which suggests it will struggle to recoup its $140 million budget. Other newcomers “Eddie the Eagle” and “Triple 9” debuted in fifth and sixth place, respectively, with about $6 million each.

Vice brings youth vibe to cable TV
2016 GUIDE TO
VICELAND
TELEVISION The new Viceland cable channel takes to the air Monday with a mix of lifestyle-related programming. Filmmaker Spike Jonze is co-president of the channel, a partnership between Vice Media and the A&E Networks. While Viceland’s success isn’t preordained, chief executive Shane Smith didn’t turn Vice from a Canadian punk rock magazine to a company worth more than $4 billion in two decades by chance. Vice is an online giant that also airs news programming on HBO. With its idealistic, youth-focused programming mix, there’s a “let’s put on a show” vibe to Viceland. “Gaycation” features actress Ellen Page and friend Ian Daniel showing gay and lesbian cultures around the world. Other series include “Flophouse,” about homes where aspiring comics room together; “Weediquette,” about the legal marijuana industry; and rapper Action Bronson’s exploration of culinary differences in cities where he tours. “Noisey” looks at the cultures surrounding music scenes, and its first episode features rapper Kendrick Lamar. Chef Eddie Huang and actor Michael K. Williams have future series in the works.
adveNture GUIDE TO + educatioN = Summer Camps a great summer and Schools
The new cable channel Viceland’s show “Noisey” looks at the cultures surrounding various music scenes.
“God knows who’s going to watch it,” said “Noisey” series creator Andy Capper. “It’s a big, grand experiment. Kind of a brand-new audience for us.” Virtually all of Viceland’s programming is produced in-house, which gives the network a consistency of voice. The shows have an appealing urgency and immerse viewers in unfamiliar worlds, rather than observing from afar. Empathy and curiosity are the philosophical underpinnings. Viceland replaces the H2 network on cable and satellite systems, available in about twothirds of the nation’s homes. “We’re just starting,” Jonze said. “None of us have ever created anything like this before. That’s what makes it exciting for me personally.” DAVID BAUDER (AP)

“The fact that the MSNBC show most devoted to [black] issues effectively went on hiatus the same day [as South Carolina voters headed to the polls] is really a sad coincidence.” JANELL ROSS writes at washingtonpost
.com on Melissa Harris-Perry and MSNBC parting ways Sunday. The announcement came two days after the host’s private fight with management went public in a New York Times exclusive on an email by the host that criticized the network. Harris-Perry, who is African-American, implied that MSNBC’s shift toward less left-leaning coverage made her feel like she was being used as a token minority.
“You could now buy the show’s starring Pikachu a beer in its native Japan, where the drinking age is 20.” HAYLEY TSUKAYAMA writes at washingtonpost.com about
the Pokemon franchise turning 20 years old last Saturday. The phenomenon that began with a simple GameBoy game has exploded into hundreds of millions of video game sales, billions of distributed trading cards and a TV show that is still on the air. To celebrate the anniversary, Nintendo is digitally releasing the original games, “Pokemon Red,” “Pokemon Blue” and “Pokemon Yellow,” on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS.
“What happens if identical twins do this?” CJALANTERS, commenter at buzzfeed.com, asks an important question about Snapchat’s fun yet terrifying new filter that will swap your face with someone else’s. Since the social media app added its new filter Friday as part of its Lenses feature, the Internet has gone rogue, with users going as far as swapping faces with their pets or even inanimate objects. Needless to say, the results are creepy-looking.
“@ilduce2016: “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” — @realDonaldTrump #MakeAmericaGreatAgain” @REALDONALDTRUMP, Republican presidential front-runner, retweeting a tweet from “Il Duce 2016,” a parody account of Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini, that attributed a Mussolini quote to Trump. The brains behind the parody account was Gawker reporter Ashley Feinberg, the site revealed Sunday. Did Trump confuse Mussolini with himself?

Salma Hayek took to Instagram on Friday to share some sad news: Her dog, Mozart, was found dead on her ranch in Washington State with a bullet lodged near his heart. “He loved his territory and never strayed away,” she wrote. “He was the most loving and loyal companion. He didn’t deserve a slow and painful death.” Hayek’s ranch is a sanctuary for rescued animals. Local authorities are investigating. (EXPRESS)

When a fan called him racist, the former pop star wrote, “I’ve been touring the world & diversifying myself in a plethora of cultures since I was 7 years old.” (EXPRESS)
Liam Payne is dating “X-Factor” judge Cheryl FernandezVersini, Us Weekly reported. Though the relationship is new, the two have known each other for a long time: Fernandez-Versini was one of the judges who rejected Payne from the show when he was just 14. Payne would return to the show with One Direction two seasons later, when Fernandez-Versini, now 32, was still a judge. A source said that 22-year-old Payne is reportedly “relieved” that the news is public, “because now they don’t have to be paranoid about getting caught.” (EXPRESS)
