The ‘tampon tax’ fight has reached the District THE DISTRICT Four D.C. lawmakers say they will introduce a bill to exempt feminine hygiene products and diapers from the District’s sales tax, joining activists in states from New York to California in pushing for a remedy to what they see as an unfair tax on women. Most states have for decades taxed tampons and related products at the same rate as household goods, but that is changing. Five states have eliminated taxes for feminine hygiene products. Council member Anita Bonds, D-At Large, the lead author of the

bill in D.C., said in a statement that “women should not be taxed because they are women.” Bonds has for the last year and a half been the chairman of the council committee studying affordable housing and other problems for low-income families. She said she had reached the conclusion that eliminating the “tampon tax” would help the city’s most vulnerable. She also said it seemed unfair that the District taxes tampons while classifying items including Viagra as essential and therefore exempt.

Council members Yvette Alexander, D-Ward 7, Mary M. Cheh, D-Ward 3, and Vincent C. Orange, D-At Large, are cointroducers of the legislation. The push to end the “tampon tax” began in January, when two female legislators, one Democratic and one Republican, cointroduced a measure in the California Assembly to end the tax. “You can’t just ignore your period. It’s not like you can just ignore the constant flow,” Assemblywoma n Cristi na Garcia, the Democrat, said.

After one of the top five warmest Marches on record, April is bringing back the nasty cold and wind that we missed. Freezing temperatures are likely several nights this week and snowflakes are possible on Saturday. Two powerful cold fronts usher in the cold, the first one Tuesday and then the second on Thursday. Low temperatures on Tuesday morning are forecast to plunge into the upper 20s and low 30s across the region, prompting a freeze warning from the National Weather Service. Wind chills early Tuesday will dip into the teens in colder suburbs and even the low 20s in the city. And after Thursday’s front, disturbances zipping along the jet stream Friday and Saturday present the chance for scattered, intermittent showers, and the air may be chilled enough for snow Saturday.

Today’s GOP battleground Voters in Wisconsin could trip up Trump and tighten the race

Ex-candidate Walker still gets primary buzz

AP AND GETTY IMAGES

POLITICS Wisconsin has become an unexpected battleground for Donald Trump and the forces desperately aligning against him, with today’s primary emerging as a key moment that could reshape the Republican nominating contest both mathematically and psychologically. Ted Cruz, who has tried to unite conservative activists, talk-radio voices and the party establishment, stands poised to take some air out of the Trump balloon. Bleeding from two weeks of self-inflicted wounds and behind in the polls in Wisconsin by as much as 10 points, Trump scrambled in recent days to make up ground he has lost to the senator from Texas. On Sunday, Trump predicted he would surprise critics. He drew a parallel to his New Hampshire victory in February following a disappointing defeat the week before in the Iowa caucuses — although he was never behind in New Hampshire as he is here. “We’re having unbelievable response in Wisconsin,” Trump said in Milwaukee. “And it feels very much like New Hampshire to me, where we started off where, you know, Trump wasn’t going to win New Hampshire, and then all of a sudden, we win in a landslide.” A defeat for Trump would be an embarrassing setback for the

front-runner — not just because of the 42 delegates at stake, but because it would demonstrate weakness in a place where he should be strong. The state’s blue-collar demographics, along with party rules allowing independent voters to cast ballots in the primary, have been expected to work in his favor. A decisive loss also would lessen his chance of amassing the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination outright. Failure to do so would force an open convention in July. “Wisconsin has always been a barometer state,” said former governor Tommy Thompson, a supporter of Ohio Gov. John

Kasich. “What you’re seeing is that The Donald, who has been moving ahead all across the country, has hit a logjam or a brick wall in Wisconsin.” A fish fry for 1,000 Republican activists inside Milwaukee’s timeworn American Serb Hall on Friday night told the story. Trump did not show up. In his place, he sent Sarah Palin, once a deity on the right. But as she testified to “the awesome awakening” brought by “the Trump Train,” many in the crowd rolled their eyes, checked their phones, murmured and even laughed. When Cruz took the stage a few minutes later, the reception was dramatically different. He

declared, “Nominating Donald Trump is a train wreck” — and, pausing for effect, added, “That’s actually not fair to train wrecks.” The crowd roared its adulation. Cruz has sought to exploit Trump’s vulnerabilities with female voters. Cruz staged an event in Madison that he called “a celebration of strong women.” He listened as wife Heidi, mother Eleanor and supporter Carly Fiorina shared stories about him as a loving father, loyal husband and champion for women. “Wisconsin is a battleground,” he told supporters Sunday. “ The entire country is looking to this state Tuesday night.” PHILIP RUCKER AND DAN BALZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“America is sick of [Donald Trump’s critics]. Their idiotic attacks just remind voters why they hate the Washington Establishment.” BARRY BENNETT, senior adviser for Donald Trump’s campaign, in an internal memo — obtained by The Washington Post — meant to rally the staff after widespread criticism of the candidate’s statements last week on abortion and nuclear weapons.

Federal judge OKs $20B settlement from 2010 BP oil spill, resolving years of litigation

POLITICS Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, R, dropped out of the presidential race six months ago, but his presence still looms large ahead of today’s primaries — in both the Democratic and Republican contests. Walker’s endorsement of Ted Cruz appears to have bolstered the Texas senator’s prospects in the Republican race. Meanwhile, the two Democratic candidates are using Walker as a punching bag, much to the delight of their audiences. “When you want to think about the kind of administration Bernie Sanders would have, kind of think about Scott Walker in reverse,” Sanders said Monday, taking aim at the governor’s cuts to education and refusal to accept additional federal Medicaid dollars. And at a speech Saturday in Milwaukee, Clinton called Walker a “bully” who “attacks teachers, nurses and firefighters.” Walker’s poll numbers in Wisconsin make clear why he’s such an inviting target: 12 percent of registered Democratic voters approve of his performance, according to a Marquette Law School poll. Among Republicans, however, 83 percent approve. What’s more surprising is that Trump has sought to discredit Walker’s record, telling voters that Wisconsin is “middle of the pack.” “You have Walker, who can’t support me because I hit him hard, but I hit him hard to win,” Trump said.

At dawn, buses filled with migrants left under heavy security from a detention center on the island of Lesbos headed to the port for the short boat ride to the

Turkish port of Dikili. More were ferried across from the island of Chios, where riot police clashed hours earlier with demonstrators protesting the expulsions. In all, 202 people from 11 nations — 191 men and 11 women — were sent back. They included 130 Pakistanis, 42 Afghans, 10 Iranians, five Congolese, four Sri Lankans, three Bangladeshis, three from India, and one each from Iraq, Somalia and Ivory Coast, as well as two Syrians whom Greek authorities said had asked to be sent back.

Crow Tribe’s last war chief dies Joe Medicine Crow was keeper of tribal history dating to Little Bighorn 1913-2016 According to Crow tradition, a man must fulfill certain requirements to become chief of the tribe: command a war party successfully, enter an enemy camp at night and steal a horse, wrestle a weapon away from his enemy and touch the first enemy fallen, without killing him. Joe Medicine Crow was the last person to meet that code, though far from the windswept plains where his ancestors conceived it. During World War II, when he was a scout for the 103rd Infantry in Europe, he strode into battle wearing war paint beneath his uniform and a yellow eagle feather inside his helmet. So armed, he led a mission through German lines to procure ammunition. He helped capture a German village and disarmed — but didn’t kill — an enemy soldier. And, in the minutes before a planned attack, he set off a stampede of 50 horses from a Nazi stable, singing a traditional Crow honor song as he rode away. Medicine Crow died Sunday at 102. He was the Crow’s last war chief, the sole surviving link to a long military tradition. But he

was also an activist, an author, a Medal of Freedom recipient and a vital chronicler of the history of his tribe. “I always told people, when you meet Joe Medicine Crow, you’re shaking hands with the 19th century,” Herman Viola, curator emeritus at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian, told the magazine at Medicine Crow’s alma mater, Linfield College. With his prodigious memory, Medicine Crow could accurately recall decades later the names, dates and exploits from the oral history he was exposed to as a child, Viola said. Those included tales told by four of the six Crow scouts who were at Custer’s side at Little Bighorn and whom Medicine Crow knew personally. SARAH KAPLAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Voting rights ruling a blow to GOP ‘One person, one vote’ decision boosts clout of America’s Latinos COURTS The Supreme Court unanimously endorsed election maps that bolster the growing political influence of America’s Latinos on Monday, ruling that states can count everyone, not just eligible voters, in drawing voting districts. The decision rejected a challenge from Texas voters that also could have diluted the voting power of urban Democrats, to the benefit of rural Republicans. The case offered a test of the

principle of “one person, one vote,” the requirement laid out by the Supreme Court in 1964 that political districts be roughly equal in population. The issue here, though, was what population to consider: everyone or just eligible voters. All 50 states use total population as the basis for drawing district lines, but the challengers said the rural state Senate districts in which they lived had vastly more eligible voters than urban districts, making their votes count for less, in violation of the Constitution. In Texas, and other states with large immigrant populations, urban districts include many

more people who are too young, not yet citizens, in the country illegally or otherwise ineligible to vote. All of them, recorded by the census, count for the purpose of drawing political districts. Civil rights groups said forcing states to change their method of constructing districts would have damaged Latino political influence. “Jurisdictions, we hold, may design state and local legislative districts with equal total populations; they are not obliged to equalize voter populations,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, summarizing her opinion for the court. Ginsburg said that “history,

our decisions and settled practice in all 50 states and countless local jurisdictions point in the same direction.” She also declared that “representatives serve all residents, not just those eligible or registered to vote” and that nonvoters have an important stake in many policy debates. The court stopped short of saying that states must use total population. And it also did not rule on whether states are free to use a different measure, as Texas had asked. Ginsburg said the court was not resolving whether states may base maps on voter population. The current case is Evenwel v. Abbott, 14-940. MARK SHERMAN (AP)

Bryce Harper homers in his first at-bat of the season Monday — his fourth career homer on opening day.

Nats start with a bang NATIONALS 4, BRAVES 3 The Nationals got off to a fresh start Monday with a topsyturvy 10-inning, 4-3 win over the Braves. The reigning MVP picked up where he left off, rejuvenated stars and new regulars contributed, and familiar demons threatened to ruin it all. First baseman Ryan Zimmerman reached on a throwing error by second baseman Gordon Beckham with one out in the 10th inning and second baseman Daniel Murphy, who had homered earlier, drove him home to give Washington the lead in its season-opening victory. “You have to start someplace,” new manager Dusty Baker said before the game. “You know the feeling when you don’t have

a good team, so why not enjoy the feeling that you have a good team?” Before the first inning of Baker’s first game as Nationals manager ended, the 1997 Atlanta Braves had paraded around the warning track in pick-up trucks, contact fiend Ben Revere had struck out and normally aware Anthony Rendon was picked off first base. Opening day chaos reigned. Bryce Harper stifled it. Fans at Turner Field booed Harper as he was introduced before the game, and he waved at them, arms high above his head. The fans booed Harper as he walked to the plate for his first at-bat, and he homered, hands at his side as he rounded

the bases. Harper, 23, now has hit four opening day home runs. The major league record is eight. Max Scherzer began his second season with the Nationals the way he spent most of his

first: impressively, but with a propensity to allow home runs. He allowed three hits in seven innings, but two of them were solo homers. A half-inning after Harper homered, Nationals killer Freddie Freeman did the same. After Murphy homered in the fourth, his first hit as a Nationals player, Adonis Garcia homered, too. After a 2015 season largely lost to injury, Zimmerman, Rendon and Jayson Werth entered the season healthy. But the Nationals’ good health did not last long, as Revere left in the fourth. Jonathan Papelbon appeared in a game for the first time since choking Harper last September. He worked a perfect 10th inning. CHELSEA JANES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Bryce Harper, a solid rotation and a revamped bullpen should help them get back into the playoffs — and so should 57 games against the Marlins, Braves and Phillies.

2 Cleveland Indians Last year: 81-80

This could be the AL’s best rotation. Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar each finished in the top 17 in the league in ERA last year.

The last three times they missed the playoffs, they won the World Series the following year. Their rotation now features Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija.

CAPITALS

Offense has been a little unlucky

While the Capitals’ defense has improved over the past six games, its offense has sputtered. In that span, Washington has averaged 1.67 goals per game and has just four five-on-five goals. The Capitals, who host the Islanders tonight (7 p.m., CSN), have also hit the post nine times in their past three games. “We’ve been struggling putting pucks in five-on-five for some reason,” said Karl Alzner, left. ”We’re just a little bit snake-bitten right now.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Four months before the Rio de Janiero Olympic Games begin, troubling issues are suppressing ticket sales and causing Brazil to consider how it might fill empty seats. Worries about the Zika virus, a political crisis and crime have contributed to depressed sales and caused the country’s new minister of sports to get creative with only about half of all tickets sold. The government, Ricardo Leyser told the Brazilian newspaper Folha, could purchase tickets and then distribute them to schools in an effort to fill the stadiums. The opening ceremony is Aug. 5.

Hardy was convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder, in 2014. He requested a jury trial and charges were dismissed in February 2015 when Holder no longer wanted to cooperate. Photos of a bruised Holder surfaced on Deadspin in November. Steve Smith Sr., a former teammate of Hardy, tweeted, “So I guess she Tripped on the carpet or something.” (TWP)

Wizards fans know disappointment Once again, their team will finish the season mired in mediocrity

PATRICK SMITH (GETTY IMAGES)

WIZARDS How do you disappoint a fan base weaned on disappointment? You give it a sliver of hope, and then you take it away. The Wizards were coming off two straight second-round playoff appearances. They had a pair of young stars in John Wall and Bradley Beal. Their preseason Vegas over/under was around 46 wins, meaning the playoffs felt like a formality. And they had that unspoken dream scenario: Maybe a run to the Eastern Conference finals would lure Kevin Durant home. Instead, Sunday’s loss to the

Bradley Beal has played in only 52 of the Wizards’ 77 games this season.

Clippers ensured that the Wizards will finish in their historical homeland: bad enough to remain irrelevant, but good enough to avoid any immediate help. This will be the 15th time in 37 seasons Washington finishes with 37 to 42 wins. No NBA team has spent more time in that flabby midsection of mediocrity.

Toronto this season hit 50 wins for the first time in franchise history. That means over those past 37 seasons, the Wizards are the only NBA franchise that hasn’t reached the 50-win milestone. The Capitals, Nationals and Redskins all won division titles within the past 18 months. There are 36-year olds who have never

Duke freshman Brandon Ingram, who is projected as a top-two pick, declares for NBA draft

seen the Wizards finish first in their division. In a season when they likely will miss the playoffs by a few games, the Wizards have seven losses against the league’s worst nine teams. In a year when the Wizards must decide whether to hand Beal a max contract, their second-best player missed a third of the season with injuries. In a spring when Wizards fans are desperate for hope, the team’s two best traditional big men are 32 and 33. If the Wizards miss the playoffs, miss out on Durant, pass on a major shakeup and wind up back in 40-win purgatory? Disappointment won’t be the biggest issue this time next year. There won’t be enough diehards left to be disappointed. DAN STEINBERG

Time to get hard, core It’s not just for looks — these muscles’ strength affects the whole body

Injury prevention A host of aches and pains can come from a weak core. “It can be low back pain. IT band and knee issues. It can be shoulder injuries,” says Pete McCall, spokesman for the American Council on Exercise. The principle behind these injuries, he says, is that when one link is weak, other muscle groups try but fail to take over — leading to breaks or tears. And yes, that extends throughout the body. “If you are playing catch with someone or fetch with your dog, it requires core

AMANDA SOTO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WORKOUTS As beach season approaches and we’re inundated with six-packabs models, it’s easy to forget that a strong core is so much more than a well-defined rectus abdominis (that’s the six-pack). Dozens of muscle groups make up the core, including the pelvic floor muscles, the transverse abdominis (deep core), internal and external obliques (side of the trunk), multifidus (deep back muscles), erector spinae (vertical back muscles), the diaphragm, the gluteus maximus (butt) and the trapezius (top of the back). And they’re all extremely important for sports performance and injury prevention, says Anne Viser, a physical therapist at Sports + Spinal Physical Therapy/ Orthology in the District. “The idea is that these muscle groups work as a team and that we need to activate and coordinate them to move efficiently,” she says.

Slacker trackers

Try this 15-minute core workout If you have only 15 minutes a day to spare, Gabe Free, a D.C.-based strength and conditioning specialist, suggests devoting those minutes to core drills. Do three sets of 15 to 20 reps each: 1 Bird dog. 2 Dead bug. 3 Clamshell. 4 Gluteus bridge. 5 Plank, hold for 30 seconds (not shown). G.B.

strength,” says Gabe Free, a D.C.-based strength and conditioning specialist. The energy in a throw is transferred from the ground up, Free says. The legs, hips, core, shoulder and arm are included in the motion. If the core is weak, it can put strain on the back or shoulder. Similar issues can occur from picking up grocery bags or lifting things off high shelves.

“If you have strong legs and strong arms but your core is weak, it’s as if you have two cinder blocks with a balloon between them,” Free explains.

Sports performance A strong core is important in just about every sport, even distance running. “If you don’t have a strong core at the halfmarathon mark, you will feel it

in your lower back,” Free says. In contact sports, which Free knows something about, having played rugby at Penn State, it’s even more important: “If you stiff-arm someone, you have to be able to sustain that force through the whole chain from legs through the torso through the arm.” If your core is weak, he adds, your back will bend backward. Ouch. GABRIELLA BOSTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Fitness trackers’ estimates of how many calories users burn can be way off, according to a recent study in JAMA Internal Medicine, Reuters reports. Japanese researchers asked nine men and 10 women ages 21 to 50 to wear 12 popular devices such as the Fitbit Flex and Jawbone Up24 and compared their calorieburning estimates with two proven methods of tracking energy: keeping testers in a metabolic chamber, which monitors oxygen use and carbon dioxide output, and analyzing their urine after testers drank treated water. Compared with results from the chamber, trackers underestimated calories by as much as 278 and overestimated by as much as 204. Compared with urine tests, the devices reported between 69 and 590 fewer calories. Inaccurate counts can be dangerous if they lead users to overexercise or not exercise enough, the scientists wrote.

There’s a pile of dishes between us Q. My housemate is the kindest person: When she cooks, she shares the food; she always invites me to watch TV with her; and she even asks me about my day. But she NEVER washes the dishes. They sit in the sink for four days before she gets around to it. Should I confront her and risk the relationship we have, or just keep putting up with this? FRUSTRATED HOUSEMATE It’s not fair to either of you for you to silently and chronically be frustrated about this, gradually building resentment that can leave caked-on crust on the friendship and not just the dishes. Though dishes seem to be the kryptonite of many otherwise harmonious relationships, it’s important to remember that her heart is good and this is just a matter

of logistics — strip away the baggage and have a grown-up, straightforward conversation. Make it a collaboration rather than an accusation. “Sarah, I was wondering if we need a better system to make sure that dishes get cleaned? We work so well together with everything else; I think a dishwashing schedule could help. What might work for you?”

A supportive partner finds the sweet spot between validating his or her partner’s family-oforigin complaints and making it worse by piling on. And your parents are coming from a place of inclusion and thoughtfulness, even if their hand is a little heavy, so for him to reject that is against the spirit of the family you’re trying to build with him. How to get him to see it’s important? Say as such. “I really need you to know that it hurts me and my parents that you never respond to them. I know they can be a bit much, but they’re trying to connect with you. I don’t want you to push them away. Can we figure out a response that is reasonable and doable? It’s important to me.” Send your questions for Baggage Check to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@ wpost.com.

The chipmaker is bankrolling the show as part of its push into growing businesses, including smart, connected objects that make up what’s known as the “Internet of Things,” or IoT.

Whether they’re chefs, hoteliers or tech executives, business leaders are under pressure to put their personalities on display. Krzanich, the 55-year-old son of an aerospace engineer, says he grew up tinkering, making Heathkit radios and fixing his TV set with his father.

In the dark of night, a vicious killer raised a baseball bat covered in barbed wire at his captives — a crew of zombie-apocalypse survivors a devoted audience of millions has followed for years on “The Walking Dead.” And, as Sunday’s season finale made clear, one of “The Walking Dead’s” survivors would survive no more. After a macabre round of “eenie meenie,” the killer’s bat came down. The screen went black. There were sickening thwacks and screams of terror. And that devoted audience found that, to its horror, the only thing worse than watching a beloved character die was having to wait until the AMC show’s return in October to find out who. Many of the blockbuster’s central protagonists are starting to look a little unkillable as they survive zombie horde after killer flu after well-planned militarystyle incursion by heavily armed, living unfriendlies. What happens now? Unlike a show with a clear stopping point on the horizon, “The Walking Dead” could go on walking forever. But will a popular show reluctant to kill off its main characters shuffle on, zombie-like, toward a muddled resolution? Or will it make tough choices and start moving toward a conclusion consistent with the compelling scenario it has set up? No one knows. Perhaps not even the people making “The Walking Dead.” JUSTIN WM. MOYER
