Revenge is a dish best made with destructive feral hogs

For some reason, efforts to save the ‘snot otter’ haven’t taken off
In Louisiana, a region that takes food seriously, feral hogs are despised as destructive, but their rich, dark meat is winning fans among chefs. Since these pigs have spent their lives running around in the open — often gobbling up crops or ripping up levees — this pork is not merely “the other white meat.” Said prominent New Orleans executive chef Rene Bajeux: “Those bad beasts are a good treat.” (AP)
Nordstrom, apparently with a straight face, is selling mud-caked jeans for $425, UPI reported. The store’s website says the distressed jeans have a “crackled, caked-on muddy coating that shows you’re not afraid to get down and dirty.” The salute to “Americana workwear” may fall flat in some quarters. “This is a joke, right?” says a sincedeleted comment on Nordstrom’s site. “Do you also sell jeans covered in cow manure?” (EXPRESS)

They have flattened heads and bodies and slimy, wrinkly, brown or reddish-brown skin with a pale underbelly. Efforts are under way to conserve hellbender populations in the wild. (AP)

certainly didn’t learn about Sikhism in school. Sometimes the ignorance causes harm: Sixtyseven percent of Sikh children report being bullied, according to the Sikh Coalition. Outside of schools, the violence can be far worse: Four days after the 9/11 attacks, a Sikh man was murdered by an American who mistook him for being Muslim. In 2012, a white supremacist went on a shooting rampage in a gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wis., killing six Sikh worshipers. Cynthia Nystrom, a Spanish teacher at Newport Mill Middle School, said the training would help her understand her students’ experiences. “I teach in a school that’s very diverse. We’ve had Sikh kids,” she said. Before the class, she didn’t know much about their faith. And these students benefit from the exchange as well. “Kids can take the leadership role, and they feel proud in talking about their own faith and about their own identity,” said Rajwant Singh, a dentist who is secretary of the North Potomac gurdwara and a co-founder of the National Sikh Campaign.

The students have been teaching a sort of Sikhism 101 to their teachers at after-school events at their gurdwara — a Sikh house of worship — in North Potomac for four years. Last year, according to organizer Harminder Kaur, they won approval from the state of Maryland to get their free class to count as formal teacher training.

Deadly opioid floods into D.C.’s suburbs Elephant tranquilizer is the latest lethal addition to the heroin epidemic REGION A substance used to tranquilize elephants that is 100 times more potent than the drug that killed Prince is hitting the D.C. suburbs, adding the region to a growing list of communities nationwide reporting fatal overdoses linked to the exotic and toxic sedative. Three cases out of Anne Arundel and Frederick counties this month mark the first carfentanilrelated fatalities in Maryland, alarming local officials already in a state of emergency combating the opioid crisis. On Monday, a Virginia man pleaded guilty in a drug distribution case after selling $100 of carfentanil-laced heroin to a 21-year-old found dead by her mother on the bathroom floor of their Fairfax County home. In recent weeks, police departments across the country announced carfentanil-related fatalities. Law enforcement officials fear the increase in lethal overdoses tied to the synthetic opioid marks a new normal in the nation’s heroin epidemic. “We have never seen death like we do now,” said Tom Synan, head of the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition in Ohio, which was among the first spots to discover a string of carfentanil

deaths during a week in which overdoses more than doubled. Often people don’t know the drugs they’ve purchased have been laced with an elephant sedative that is 10,000 times more powerful than morphine, leaving their families devastated. “It shows how callous these drug dealers are,” Synan said. “It has no human use whatsoever and they’re putting it out on the street and wreaking havoc.” About 2 milligrams of fentanyl — about what comes out with a single jiggle of a salt shaker — is considered lethal. Carfentanil is 100 times stronger. Carfentanil and fentanyl, the substance found in Prince’s body when he died last year, have been manufactured mostly in China, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement
Administration said. Because the drug can be absorbed through the skin, police and lab workers need to take strict precautions against exposure, even from a puff escaping a bag being resealed, said Scott Maye, the chemistry program manager for the Virginia Department of Forensic Sciences. “Dogs can get a whiff of it, and it can be fatal,” Maye said. To fight its spread, law enforcement has been cracking down on drug dealers. Last week, a judge sentenced an Ohio man to 18 years in prison for selling drugs that led to 26 carfentanil overdoses last year, prosecutors said. “We on the front lines are struggling every day to keep people alive,” Synan said.

local TRANSPORTATION A new regionwide sales tax is the best way to raise the billions of dollars that Metro needs in coming years — and that area governments can’t afford — according to a report released Wednesday by top local administrative and budget officials. After studying the issue for more than a year, the group said a one-cent sales tax would generate enough money — $650 million annually — to keep the transit system safe and reliable. It also would yield enough extra money to pay for some expansion of the
system, such as construction of a second tunnel under the Potomac River between Rosslyn and Foggy Bottom, which would eliminate one of Metro’s major bottlenecks. The report lent support to calls from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and others for a broadbased sales tax to pay for new equipment and maintenance for the 40-year-old system. But it represented the views only of self-described “technocrats,” rather than of elected officials who will ultimately decide whether and how to find more money for Metro.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has called for a broad-based sales tax to help maintain the Metro system.
A regional sales tax would face major political challenges. Virginia officials, fearing resistance from the Republican-dominated General Assembly, urged that individual jurisdictions be allowed to decide for themselves how to raise the money to support Metro. The tax plan was prepared by top county and municipal administrators and budget officers organized by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Failure to fund Metro will increase safety risks and slow economic growth, the report said. ROBERT McCARTNEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump reveals outline of plan to reduce taxes
verbatim
POLITICS President Trump on Wednesday proposed a dramatic overhaul of the tax code, calling for sharply lower rates for individuals and businesses but also eliminating key tax breaks. The proposal is a one-page outline lacking key details, but it presents an initial offer to begin negotiations with lawmakers, as White House officials think reworking the tax code is one of the priorities for economic growth. “We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to do something big and important on taxes,” said Gary Cohn, the director of the White House National Economic Council. But many budget experts believe the White House plan would reduce federal revenue so much that it would increase the debt by trillions of dollars in the next decade, growing interest costs and slowing the economy. And Trump’s advisers are looking to ax some tax breaks that are very popular in certain states, including the deduction Americans take for the state and local taxes they pay separately each year. Eliminating this deduction could save more than $1 trillion over 10 years but inflame lawmakers and governors in states that have high income tax rates.

Individuals, businesses would see cuts, but how to pay for it all?
Adviser Gary Cohn, left, and Treasury’s Steven Mnuchin discuss the tax plan.
The main feature of the plan would be a big reduction in tax rates for virtually all Americans and businesses. It would eliminate the seven existing tax brackets and replace them with three brackets, containing new rates of 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent, based on income. Officials haven’t specified which income levels would hit the higher brackets; they see that as part of ongoing discussions with Capitol Hill. The plan would also roughly double the standard deduction Americans can use to reduce their taxable income. The deduction for married couples would increase from $12,600 to $24,000. This would incentivize people not to itemize their returns and instead use the standard deduction, simplifying the process and potentially saving taxpayers
thousands of dollars each year. The plan would eliminate the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax, provisions that raise billions each year but have long been targeted by Republicans. To offset some of the cost of the lower rates, officials said they want to eliminate virtually all tax deductions that Americans claim, provisions they argue primarily benefit the wealthy. Cohn said they still would preserve tax breaks that incentivize homeownership, retirement savings and charitable giving. For businesses, the plan would lower the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 15, and would let millions of smaller businesses, structured in such a way that they are affected by the individual tax rate, also use the 15 percent threshold.
“Somewhere along the way, the Act has become a tool of political advocacy rather than public interest.” INTERIOR SECRETARY RYAN ZINKE, on President
Trump’s executive order signed Wednesday directing him to review the designation of dozens of national monuments on federal lands. Trump said the Antiquities Act is used to “put millions of acres of land and water under strict federal control.” The 1906 law allows a president to take unilateral action to protect resources on federal land that are under threat.

FCC announces plan to reverse net neutrality TECHNOLOGY A showdown over regulating internet access looms as a Republican-controlled government tackles a fiercely debated policy: net neutrality. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai, above, said in a Wednesday speech that he wants to ditch the Obama-era rules, hated by telecoms, that prevent broadband and wireless companies from interfering with sites and apps that consumers use. He wants to undo their legal basis and to eliminate the FCC’s broad powers to monitor providers such as Verizon, AT&T and Comcast for bad behavior. Pai, the nation’s chief telecommunications regulator, said he will seek an FCC vote at a May 18 meeting. The FCC plans to release an official, detailed proposal for the vote today. Pai doesn’t have an immediate plan to replace net neutrality, but is seeking input on how to “approach” its core: three hardand-fast rules that bar broadband providers from steering users toward (or away from) particular internet sites and services. Existing net-neutrality rules mean companies like Comcast and Verizon — which offer their own video services — can’t slow down Netflix, can’t block YouTube and can’t charge Spotify extra to stream faster than Pandora. “The more heavily you regulate something, the less of it you’re likely to get.” Pai said.

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO
PAUL J. WIEDEFELD
Last week, I issued a financial plan to keep Metro safe, reliable and affordable. With a system that is now more than 40 years old, customers have felt the effects of an aging system that is jeopardized by decades of deferred maintenance. Metro has a path forward, but it requires a new funding plan. My proposal includes $15.5 billion in capital spending over the next 10 years funded through continued federal and jurisdictional support, and a new dedicated funding source to generate $500 million per year. The plan also includes measures to significantly curb the operating cost growth. For riders, this plan would provide funding for: • Replacing old railcars with new 7000 Series cars • Implementing power system upgrades for safety, reliability and more 8-car trains • Designing and engineering improvements to passenger flow at crowded transfer stations • Rebuilding old chillers that cool stations in the summer • Creating safer and brighter stations and platforms The comprehensive funding analysis that I released is intended to inform regional discussions around Metro’s financial needs, and I look forward to working with the local jurisdictions, business leaders, customers and employees to reach solutions that keep Metro safe, reliable and affordable. For more information about the plan, visit wmata.com/budget

N. Korea briefing gives senators few details
BERKELEY, CALIF.
verbatim
NATIONAL SECURITY President Trump and his top national security advisers briefed senators Wednesday at the White House on what a senior aide called the “very grave threat” posed by North Korea, as the administration continued to develop a range of economic and military measures to pressure Pyongyang. “This situation is not risk-free,” the senior administration official told reporters as the meeting with the senators was underway at a secure location at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. “But the team has done everything we can try to anticipate reactions and mitigate the risk.” The briefing for the senators on White House grounds was a departure from normal procedure. Such briefings are normally held in secure, underground auditoriums or conference rooms at the U.S. Capitol. It was open to all 100 senators, who arrived on a large white bus. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., asked for the briefing in the wake of increased tension on the Korean Peninsula. The meeting came as the U.S. military had redirected the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group toward the region in response to a failed North

In an unusual move, the White House summoned the full Senate for a briefing Wednesday on the “very grave threat” posed by North Korea.
Korean missile test last week. Senators departing the briefing expressed frustration that the administration shared few details of its current policy on North Korea and its plans to deal with the country as it continues developing nuclear weapons. “They’re trying to do the right thing,” said one Republican senator, but members of both parties left frustrated that they were given “very few details about what has changed.” The briefing lacked “even straight answers on what the policy is regarding North Korea and its testing of ICBMs,” said the senator, who requested anonymity to speak frankly. In a joint statement, senior
advisers said Trump’s approach aimed to tighten economic sanctions and pursue “diplomatic measures.” The goal is to “convince the regime to de-escalate and return to a path of dialogue” toward peaceful denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, they said. The advisers said that they are open to negotiations, but are also “prepared to defend ourselves and our allies.” Also on Wednesday, South Korea started installing key parts of a contentious U.S. missile defense system against North Korean missiles. America’s Pacific forces commander, Adm. Harry Harris Jr., told Congress the system would be operational within days. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

Bones could alter America’s timeline SCIENCE A startling new report asserts that the first known Americans arrived much, much earlier than scientists thought — more than 100,000 years ago. If true, the finding would far surpass the widely accepted date of about 15,000 years ago. Researchers say a site in Southern California shows evidence of humanlike behavior from about 130,000 years ago, when bones and teeth of an elephantlike mastodon were evidently smashed with rocks. The earlier date means the bone-smashers were not necessarily members of our own species, Homo sapiens. The researchers speculate that these early Californians could have instead been species known only from fossils in Europe, Africa and Asia: Neanderthals, or a little-known group called Denisovans, or another human forerunner named Homo erectus. “The very honest answer is, we don’t know,” said Steven Holen, lead author of the paper and director of the nonprofit Center for American Paleolithic Research

Study says humanlike behavior goes back far earlier than thought
A new report uses research from this 1993 excavation site of fossils and rocks in San Diego, Calif.
in Hot Springs, S.D. Holen said these early inhabitants might have come from Asia via the Bering land bridge that once connected Siberia to Alaska, or perhaps via watercraft. He and others presented their evidence in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. Like many experts, Richard Potts of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History is skeptical of the new finding, calling the evidence “not yet solid.” For one thing, he said, the dig turned up no basic stone-cutting tools or evidence of butchery or the use of fire, as one might expect from Homo sapiens or our close evolutionary relatives.

POLITICS President Trump’s Cabinet secretaries are growing exasperated at how slowly the White House is moving to fill hundreds of top-tier posts, warning that the vacancies are hobbling efforts to oversee agency operations and promote the president’s agenda, according to administration officials, lawmakers and lobbyists. The Senate has confirmed 26 of Trump’s picks for his Cabinet and other top posts. But for 530 other vacant senior-level jobs requiring Senate confirmation, the president had advanced just 37 nominees as of Wednesday night, according to data tracked by The Washington Post and the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service’s Center for Presidential Transition. These posts include the deputy secretaries and undersecretaries, chief financial officers, ambassadors, general counsels and heads of smaller agencies who run the government day-to-day. That’s less than half the nominees President Barack Obama had sent to the Senate by this point in his first term. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who has publicly expressed frustration, has routinely peppered the White House Personnel Office for updates and called Trump directly to press for faster action on filling vacancies at the Interior Department, said two people familiar with his contacts. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price aired his dismay at a recent breakfast meeting with his former congressional colleagues. “He’s very frustrated,” said a Republican House member who was there.
President Trump hasn’t offered candidates for hundreds of senior-level jobs.
Presidential appointments in the first 100 days According to congressional records and a White House press release on Wednesday, 96 days into Trump’s presidency, the administration has had just 26 presidential appointments confirmed. Here’s how Trump’s pace at filling top-tier posts compares to earlier presidents in their first 100 days. (TWP) Failed Trump

leadership posts is a result of a chaotic transition after Trump won the November election. But the nomination process has also been slowed by the unusual degree of scrutiny the White House is giving job candidates. Around the table for weekly hiring
meetings are chief strategist Stephen Bannon; chief of staff Reince Priebus; White House counsel Don McGahn; Vice President Pence’s chief of staff, Josh Pitcock; and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, according to a lobbyist and several White House officials. For economic appointments, Gary Cohn, director of the National Economic Council, also sits in, as does the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, when a hiring decision piques her interest. Barry Bennett, a former Trump campaign adviser who served as a communications director under President George W. Bush, said requiring so many people to sign off on appointments can be unusually cumbersome. “There are big differences among them about the people they’re talking about putting in these positions,” Bennett said. “Of course, it’s going to take longer.” LISA REIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus announced their support for a revised Republican plan to change the Affordable Care Act, putting political pressure on GOP moderates to support it. The caucus announced its support for an amendment from Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., allowing states to opt out of certain rules under Obamacare. The proposal would allow states to opt out of some reforms under the Affordable Care Act, including the requirement that plans cover certain medical benefits and the ban on charging customers higher premiums if they have pre-existing conditions. “While the revised version still does not fully repeal Obamacare, we are prepared to support it to keep our promise to the American people to lower healthcare costs,” the caucus statement said. The moderate Tuesday Group had not taken an official position as of Wednesday afternoon, but several members said they were opposed to or skeptical of the changes. At least some of those members will need to back the plan for it to pass the House. Under the revision’s current language, members of Congress would be all but guaranteed to maintain health benefits that other Americans might lose. ELISE VIEBECK, KELSEY SNELL AND DAVID WEIGEL

SCOUTING REPORT
A second line featuring center Evgeny Kuznetsov, left, will look to give the Capitals an edge.
PENGUINS AT CAPITALS | GAME 1: 7:30 TONIGHT, NBCSN
Ticket to redemption
Washington’s secondary scoring could trigger a long-awaited playoff breakthrough NHL PLAYOFFS The Capitals and Penguins haven’t met since January, but introductions won’t be necessary when the NHL’s two best teams in the regular season meet tonight at Verizon Center for Game 1 of their second-round playoff series. The Penguins eliminated their Metropolitan Division rival in six games in last year’s second round en route to their fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history. With a maddening history of playoff failures that includes eight exits in the first or second round since Alex Ovechkin came to Washington, the Capitals are still searching for their first Cup. “You can’t ask for anything else,” center Jay Beagle said. “You want to redeem yourself.” Pittsburgh eliminated Washington a year ago despite limited production from offensive catalysts Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who combined for one goal and four points in the six-game series. Instead, the Penguins relied on secondary scoring and contributions from
their third and fourth lines. A year later, Washington thirdliners Andre Burakovsky, Lars Eller and Tom Wilson are hoping to be difference makers in a series headlined by stars such as Ovechkin and Crosby. “It’s one of their strengths, but I’d like to believe that it’s one of our strengths, too,” Eller said of team depth. The Capitals had a league-high 11 double-digit goal-scorers in the regular season. The trade for Eller last summer boosted Washington’s bottom-six forward group and was made with a potential rematch against Pittsburgh in mind. “I can’t wait for that challenge,” said Eller, who scored 12 goals with 13 assists after coming over from Montreal. Wilson was among Washington’s bottom-six forwards who went dry last spring with just one assist in 12 playoff games. But against the Maple Leafs in the first round this year, the Toronto native scored three goals, including the first overtime game-winner of his career.
POOR RIVALRY
8-1

Wilson’s 6-foot-4, 217-pound frame gives the third line some muscle and a net-front presence that will be a tough load for Pittsburgh’s shorthanded blue line. The Penguins will face the Capitals without their top defenseman, Kris Letang, who is out for the season with a neck injury. “We remember that feeling at the end of last year,” Wilson said, “and now is our chance to change it. Lars is a workhorse, [Burakovsky] has great skill and hopefully I can create some space for them.”
The Capitals will particularly look for more contributions from Burakovsky, whose last playoff goal came last year in a Game 1 overtime win over the Penguins. “We want that rematch,” Burakovsky said. “For our line, it’s a big opportunity to get out there and be a game-changer.” Second-line wing Justin Williams, who is known as “Mr. Game 7” for his heroics on three Stanley Cup teams, is hoping for greater consistency from his trio as well. Williams tied for the team lead with three goals in Round 1, and linemate Marcus Johansson scored both goals in a series-clinching Game 6 win. But Williams is looking for a big series from center Evgeny Kuznetsov, who was held to just one assist in six games against Pittsburgh last year. “I think he’s come to the realization that if we’re going to do what we want to do this year, he’s got to play a vital role,” Williams said. “Our line wasn’t near good enough last year, and we’re looking to make an impact.”

2017 NFL DRAFT | 8 TONIGHT, ESPN, NFLN
Experts’ picks for Washington
Blueprint for the future
Looking at mock drafts might provide a hint as to whom the Redskins will take tonight with their firstround pick (17th overall). G.H.
Once names start flying off the board at the NFL draft in Philadelphia, all the mocking and talking football from the past few weeks will be obsolete. The lead-up to the draft demands predictions, but the spectacle reliably produces surprises, many of which are justified by the philosophy of choosing the best player available versus filling a need. But really, every position needs to be replenished to build sustained success. For Washington, what may not be seen as an immediate need could still be an early priority. Here’s an analysis of the Redskins’ needs and how they could fill them with their first five picks. GABE HIATT AND RICK SNIDER (EXPRESS)

SECOND ROUND (49)
THIRD ROUND (81)
FOURTH ROUND (114)
FOURTH ROUND (123)
Running back
Defensive line
Quarterback
Linebacker
Safety
Listen before you groan. Yes, the Redskins’ defensive line badly needs reinforcements. But plans should be viewed through the prism of Kirk Cousins’ status. If the quarterback isn’t traded or re-signed, he’ll be gone in free agency after the 2017 season. Having a back Washington could rebuild the offense around would be huge in Cousins’ absence. G.H.
Chris Baker’s departure for Tampa Bay made an already deficient Redskins’ D-Line even weaker. Free agent additions Terrell McClain and Stacy McGee will help replace Baker in the short term, allowing the Redskins to load up on edge rushers. Ryan Kerrigan has started 96 straight games, but he turns 29 in August. Preston Smith regressed with 4.5 sacks in 2016. G.H.
Barring a draft-day trade of a blockbuster long-term deal, the Redskins are likely to pay Cousins $24 million for one more year under the franchise tag and would get nothing in return if he walks away as a free agent next spring. That means they better find a passer to groom, and fast. Nate Sudfeld, a sixth-round pick last year, would likely have to compete for a roster spot with any draftee. G.H.
Signing Zach Brown flipped inside linebacker from a question mark to a strength, and bringing back Will Compton further bolstered the position. Brown has only a one-year deal, so investing in depth there would be prudent. Still, outside linebackers are the keys to the 3-4 defense, especially with OLB coach Greg Manusky being promoted to defensive coordinator. G.H.
D.J. Swearinger seems like a good signing for the much-maligned back end of Washington’s defense. He turns 26 in September, has 35 career starts and is an intimidating force at free safety. After starring as a rookie, Su’a Cravens is supposed to form a tandem with Swearinger, but who knows if Cravens will be as effective as he was at linebacker. Washington needs a ballhawk to pair with its hard hitters. G.H.
Rick’s pick: If Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey gets past the Panthers at No. 8 in the first round, he could still be around for the Redskins at No. 17. As a running and receiving threat, McCaffrey could help Washington open up its red zone offense by taking attention away from receivers split wide. Backup pick: Alvin Kamara, Tennessee. R.S.
Rick’s pick: Missouri’s Charles Harris (6-3, 253 lbs.) can play end or linebacker, so he’s basically an improved version of Trent Murphy, who will miss four games for the Redskins because of a PED suspension. With his solid spin move, Harris could be an immediate contributor. Backup pick: Malik McDowell, Mich. State. R.S.
Rick’s pick: Davis Webb from Cal is a system guy who’s often compared to Nick Foles. He’s a little robotic and stares too much. If Redskins coach Jay Gruden and QB coach Matt Cavanaugh could work on that, Webb could be ready to start by 2018.
Rick’s pick: Derek Rivers had 41 sacks in four years at Youngstown State and ran a 4.61-second 40-yard dash at the combine. So why would he be available in the fourth round? Rivers has tunnel vision heading into the backfield and doesn’t always react quickly. Still, he has NFL speed.
Rick’s pick: John Johnson from Boston College can play safety and corner, boasts exceptional speed and has long arms to help in press coverage. If he were sturdier than 208 pounds, he might be a second-rounder.
Backup pick: DeShone Kizer, Notre Dame. R.S
Backup pick: Carroll Phillips, Illinois. R.S
Backup pick: Rayshawn Jenkins, Miami. R.S

Lynch can help soften blow of Raiders’ move Trading for native son gives Oakland fan base a local rooting interest
NFL Reaching a tentative agreement with the Seahawks to trade for Marshawn Lynch might or might not give the Raiders a productive running back. But the move to bring Lynch out of retirement — first reported Wednesday by NFL Network — was one owner Mark Davis’ team had to make. Lynch is extremely popular in his hometown of Oakland, and the Raiders stand to benefit from that popularity as they prepare to play the 2017 season in the Bay Area while their already approved move to Las Vegas is sorted out. Last month in Phoenix, NFL owners voted 31-1 to ratify the Raiders’ relocation for the 2019 or 2020 season. The Raiders have lease options in Oakland for 2017 and 2018, and Davis is staying put while the new stadium in Las Vegas is under construction. Even though Davis has said he expects fans to support the Raiders in Oakland until they leave, it’s a potentially calamitous situation, and the club could be forced to depart sooner than planned if it doesn’t go well.

ESPN laying off 10 percent of its ‘front-facing’ talent
Marshawn Lynch topped 1,200 yards rushing for four straight years in Seattle but ran for just 417 yards in 2015 before retiring for one season.
But now the Raiders have two things working for them: the quality of their team and Lynch. The Raiders enjoyed a breakthrough last season, clinching a playoff berth before quarterback Derek Carr broke a leg on Christmas Eve. With Carr back this season, the Raiders should be a legitimate threat to the Patriots in the AFC. If Lynch still can be the bruising runner who topped 1,200 rushing yards in four straight seasons for Seattle from 2011 through 2014, he could help appease the Raiders’ fan base. But that’s a pretty major “if.” Lynch is 31 and didn’t play last season while in retirement.
In 2015, the last time he played, he appeared in only seven games and averaged 3.8 yards per carry. Is he a better option than Latavius Murray, who left the Raiders in free agency for the Vikings? Probably not. Is he a preferable alternative to Adrian Peterson, who just agreed to a two-year deal with the Saints after more than six weeks on the free agent market? Perhaps. Could the Raiders have done better in an NFL draft that is deep in talent at running back? Almost definitely. But Murray, Peterson and any rookie taken in the draft are not hometown sports heroes in Oakland. Marshawn Lynch is. MARK MASKE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Let’s go crazy again Prince’s classic backing band The Revolution hits the road without its leader
MUSIC Bassist Mark Brown is enjoying the reunion with his bandmates in The Revolution, though it’s obvious something’s missing: “It’s different without the little guy,” he says. “The purple Yoda, the funky Yoda.” Prince is gone and it’s impossible not to notice, but the man who brought The Revolution together in the first place is still the glue. His death a year ago spurred his most famous backing band — which also includes drummer Bobby Z, guitarist Wendy Melvoin and keyboardists Lisa Coleman and Matt Fink — to reunite, starting with a trio of shows at First Avenue in Minneapolis last fall. “It didn’t hit us until we got on the stage,” says Brown, who performs as Brown Mark. “That first night was rough. … We put his guitar center stage — we would look over at it and he wasn’t there.” Though members of The Revolution played together off and on since Prince disbanded the group in 1986, their current
reunion tour — spurred by those hometown shows last fall — is their first extended stint together since the band’s ’80s heyday. Brown says these shows will mostly stick to Prince’s Revolution-era catalog (including classics like “Purple Rain” and “1999”), but there may be some surprises (like a medley of unreleased songs). Most shows will also feature guest singers, though Brown and Melvoin will handle the bulk of the vocals. “What we’re trying to do is give people the experience,” Brown says. Ahead of Thursday’s show at the Fillmore, Brown shared some of his favorite Prince stories.
Pancake pop-up The first time Brown encountered Prince, Brown made him pancakes. Brown, who thinks he was 15 at the time, was working as a cook at a Minneapolis-area diner when Prince — who had released his early single “Soft and Wet” and was dating a waitress at the restaurant — walked in. “I was this crazy kid in the
back with a big Afro who kept jumping up and down trying to look over the ledge,” Brown says. Years later, Brown recounted the details of the story to Prince at band practice (down to naming the waitress) and Prince replied, “I remember that very clearly.”
The ultimate audition In the late ’70s, Brown joined a band called Fantasy that often played the small room at First Avenue, where Prince often played. “I noticed he would always come watch us,” Brown says. In 1981, when he was 19, Brown was rehearsing with Fantasy at a community center when he got a phone call around midnight from Prince. “I don’t even know how he knew we were there,” he says. “So it’s obvious that he had been doing his research.” Prince told Brown he wanted him to audition for his band the next night and that he’d need to learn his first three albums. “I studied all night,” Brown says. “I learned every lick.” At the audition, they jammed on two songs with Bobby
Z; then Prince said they were done and offered to drive Brown home. Brown thought he’d blown it. As they were driving, Prince casually offered Brown the gig. “That was it — I was hired.”
Purple prankster Brown fondly remembers Prince as a prankster. One day, while Prince and The Revolution were on tour in Ohio, Brown was late to catch the bus after a show. He walked out, signed a few autographs for fans and realized the bus had left without him. “I’m standing with my bass and it was gone,” he recalls. “I was so embarrassed.” About 90 minutes later, he had a taxi on the way when the bus returned. “By this time, I was boiling,” Brown says. “I had smoke coming out of my nose and Prince is laughing in the front of the bus, and he said, ‘I bet you won’t be late next time.’ Those are the kinds of pranks he would pull — he was notorious.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Two new brewpubs join Northern Virginia’s growing beer scene
APRIL / MAY SHOWS
BARS Two brewpubs have opened in Northern Virginia in recent weeks, with two very different missions: One serves mostly as a taproom for a growing craft brewery in Manassas, while the other is a passion project bearing the name of one of America’s leading 19th-century brewers. HERITAGE BREWING
Heritage Brewing Co. 2900 Wilson Blvd., Arlington
Brothers Ryan and Sean Arroyo opened Heritage Brewing Co. in Manassas on New Year’s Eve 2013. Over the years, the duo noticed that many customers were coming from D.C. and Arlington. When Heritage decided to move forward with plans for a brewpub last year, the Arroyos were drawn to Clarendon. In addition to pouring the brewery’s five year-round beers and rotating seasonals, the new location, which opened April 11, has a pilot brewing system that can produce two barrels, or four kegs, of beer at a time. These will be “nothing but test batches,” Ryan Arroyo says. “All these beers will be consumed in-house.” The system will allow brewers to test variations on recipes and experiment with new hops while getting instant feedback from customers.

Four other “Brewmaster Seasonal” beers include a Washington Capitals-inspired “Rock the Rot” red IPA (“rot” is “red” in German); a single-hopped Chinook pale ale; and the sweet “I’d Give Up Chocolate But…,” a stout brewed with 10 pounds of Ghirardelli cocoa. What makes Portner Brewhouse most interesting, though, is the Craft Beer Test Kitchen, which will turn the brewpub into an incubator for small brewers. Homebrewers who’ve come up with a beer they want to share with the world can drop off the recipe and two samples at the bar. The Portners and their brewing team will review the entries and create largescale batches to put on tap. FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

served as the first president of the United States Brewers Association. Portner died in 1906, and when Prohibition came to Virginia in 1916, the brewery, once Alexandria’s largest employer, closed and never reopened. Fast-forward a century, and Portner’s great-great-granddaughters Catherine and Margaret Portner have decided to bring the family name back to brewing in Alexandria. After almost five years of searching for a location, the sisters secured a space for a brewpub with a wide-open bar and a patio large enough for 70 people to sit at umbrella-shaded tables. Since the pub’s opening in early March, the mainstays of the draft beer menu have been four “pre-Prohibition” beers, which Catherine Portner says are inspired by recipes and notes in Robert Portner’s unpublished memoir and family papers.

This is also the place to bring friends who aren’t beer geeks: Unlike the brewery, which only serves its own ales, the Heritage brewpub has a full wine and cocktail menu that includes oldfashioneds and Negronis made with local spirits.

STAGE There’s a moment in every performance of “Fun Home” when actor Robert Petkoff likes to watch the audience get uncomfortable. It comes about 10 minutes into the musical, when Kate Shindle, the actress playing real-life graphic novelist Alison Bechdel, gives the thesis statement of the whole show: “My dad
and I both grew up in the same small Pennsylvania town. And he was gay, and I was gay. And he killed himself. And I became a lesbian cartoonist.” “When she says that, some of the audience laughs,” says Petkoff, who plays Bruce, the father Alison speaks of. “But there are people in the audience who are like, ‘What?! I saw kids dancing on the poster — this doesn’t seem to be that story!’ ” Based on Bechdel’s 2006 graphic memoir, the musical — which won the Tony Award for

best musical in 2015 and is stopping at the National Theatre during a nationwide tour — fleshes out her search to understand her father by examining her childhood memories. An adult Alison (Shindle) plays a sort of Greek chorus as she watches 9-year-old Alison (Alessandra Baldacchino) and 19-year-old Alison (Abby Corrigan) play with her siblings and fall in love with a fellow college student, respectively. Throughout the show, adapted by composer Jeanine Tesori and book writer/lyricist Lisa Kron, Alison ponders whether her triumphant coming out had anything to do with her tortured, closeted father’s suicide. By announcing the father’s untimely end so early in the show, Petkoff says, “We don’t have to play a mystery game with the audience. We just let her say, ‘This is what happened. Now we’re trying to figure out why.’ As these memories come to her throughout the show, they get more intricate, they get deeper.”
Young Alison (Alessandra Baldacchino, left) dances in a coffin. Like kids do.
The deepening of Alison’s memories is represented in the set design. Her childhood home is at first drawn with a few set
pieces against a simple brick wall, but in a late scene in which Alison returns from college, the home is represented in full detail: It’s as
though Alison (like the audience) is seeing her home for the first time all over again. When “Fun Home” was staged in the round on Broadway, set designer David Zinn created that effect with mechanical lifts that brought the furniture up from beneath the stage. Once the show hit the road, Zinn had to devise a dramatic trick that would work on more traditional stages. Zinn insists the moment is best seen in person, but just know, “It’s where we’ve put our money and scenery
energy for the audience,” he says. It’s really the only visually arresting moment in the show — and that’s intentional. “There aren’t a lot of flashes and tricks to get in the way of your relationships with these characters,” Zinn says. “I think we have still maintained a sense of intimacy with the story.” It appears to have worked: The show has been on the road for six months, and even though some audiences have walked in expecting something purely bubbly and lighthearted, Petkoff says he always sees at least a few folks wiping away tears at curtain call. “The people who are connecting with it, whether they’re in Detroit or Cleveland or Las Vegas or Denver, they all come to us and say the same thing: ‘I saw my family there,’ ” Petkoff says. “Or the one I get the most: ‘I gotta go call my dad.’ ” LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS)

The cat’s out of the bag
A playful exhibit reveals how felines have long been a companion — and muse — to American artists Sorry, dog people. Archives of American Art curator Mary Savig considered doing a show about man’s best friend, but she decided to go with man’s best frenemy: cats. “I just think dogs are too sweet for an exhibition. They are too cute; they are too loyal. Cats are a little more independent and they speak to the way a lot of artists work,” says Savig, curator of “Before Internet Cats: Feline Finds From the Archives of American Art,” which opens Friday. It’s no accident that many artists work with cats by their side, Savig adds. “Cats are excellent studio companions,” she says. “Sometimes they provide a playful distraction, sometimes they can serve as an artist’s muse, and they almost never criticize your work.” Savig and her colleagues had no trouble finding dozens of images of cats in the Archives’ collection of American artists’ papers, letters and sketchbooks.

Ink drawing of a cat and three mice Charles Green Shaw, who was born in 1892, wrote poetry, made abstract paintings, had a newspaper column and illustrated children’s books. One thread that you see throughout his work — including this sketch of a cat and mice — is a love of simplicity, Savig says. “This is probably a drawing he made for one of his children’s books,” Savig says. “It’s a clever picture, striking in black and white, and you can see that the mice and the cat are sizing each other up.”

Sketchbook, circa 1900 Esther Baldwin Williams, a Boston-based painter and art patron at the turn of the 20th century, filled an entire sketchbook with cats in watercolor and pencil. “She was known for painting cats and flowers and women and children in her social circle. But when she started having children, she wasn’t able to pursue painting as a career,” Savig says. Her daughter — also named Esther — went on to be a successful artist, thanks to her mother’s encouragement, Savig says.
Mine Okubo painting of a black cat, 1972 Japanese-American artist Mine Okubo is most famous for her illustrations of daily life in the internment camps in California and Utah that she was sent to during World War II (as documented in her 1946 book “Citizen 13660”). She went on to become a professional artist, and this painting — dashed off in gouache on a piece of paper about the size of an index card — “captures her playfulness and interest in everyday life,” Savig says.

“High Noon” — classic Western shoot-’em-up or lefty parable? It’s both!
‘High Noon and the Hollywood Blacklist’ It’s hard to believe, but there was a time when anyone who didn’t fit a certain definition of a patriot was considered un-American, a time when the Constitution was sacrificed on the altar of suspicion, a time when the media was considered the enemy of the state. For its spring benefit, the Avalon Theatre is screening a handful of movies about the mid-20th-century Hollywood blacklist, which shut out writers, directors and actors who were either Communists or just suspected of being Communists. 2005’s “Good Night, and Good Luck” portrays Edward R. Murrow’s efforts to fight Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s insane investigations (Thu., 8 p.m., $12.25). Also showing is “The Way We Were,” a 1973 melodrama about a screenwriter grappling with his conscience during McCarthyism (Thu., 5:15 p.m., $12.25; Sat., 10:30 a.m., $9). The big event is a screening of 1952’s Oscar-winning “High Noon” (Sun., 7 p.m., $50), a Western allegory of the era; tickets include a discussion of the film with experts (an extra $200 gets you into the prescreening reception). All proceeds benefit the Avalon, D.C.’s only nonprofit film center. Avalon Theatre, 5612 Connecticut Ave. NW

A Paid Public Service Declaration When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people courageously to admit that scores of millions of them have made a catastrophic mistake of apocalyptic proportions and rectify it by removing from the most powerful office in the world a man duly elected but manifestly unprepared, unfit in many ways for the office, partly because he is by many accounts seriously ill, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind require that they should declare the causes that impel them to take such an unprecedented yet crucial action, and, failing impeachment and conviction, still provided for by the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. When there has been this long train of bullying and ugly and shameful behavior, a steady stream of prevarications, malicious audio and video taped statements and gestures, immigrant and disabled bashing, all aimed at justifying the overthrow of decades of progress for hard-won rights, then it is their right, it is their duty to dismiss such a President. To prove this let the facts be submitted to a candid world--HE has habitually and shamelessly lied to the American people, has promoted and disseminated the wildest of conspiracy theories (Muslims jubilantly celebrating in New Jersey the destruction of the WTC; foreign birth and religion of Barack Obama), wiretapping of Trump Tower by Barack Obama, has sought to assassinate the character of his predecessor, and encouraged his most violent supporters to kill his opponent if she should have won the election. HE has publicly derided judges, challenged their legitimacy, and mocked before the world a respected disabled journalist. HE has repeatedly reduced women to sex objects and proudly boasted of molesting them. HE has praised our adversaries abroad and equated American actions with the murder of political opponents and critics, the destabilization of sovereign countries and the seizure of their territory. HE has publicly encouraged these adversaries to interfere in our 2016 election process to advantage himself, while dismissing evidence provided to him that in fact this power did just that. He and members of his campaign staff/administrators are currently, in March 2017, the subjects of an on-going FBI counter-intelligence investigation, which may determine that the subjects were in fact in collusion with foreign intelligence agents of a hostile rival power to undermine the foundation of our democracy. HE has broken his oral contract with the American people to disclose his business and financial history by providing copies of his tax forms and other standard documents of disclosure (copies of medical and military records, passport pages, etc.) HE has scoffed at the Constitutional requirement that prohibits him from maintaining and continuing his extensive, intricate and profitable network of conflict of interests, specifically his indebtedness to foreign governments and financial institutions that have bankrolled his acquisition and continued control of his real estate empire. Nothing about this President is normal and never will be normal. His psychoses, his narcissism, his megalomania, his contempt for the rule of law, are only multiplying from day to day, and becoming more extreme and lethal. Given this evidence, who among rational, sensible Americans can dispute that this President should never have been permitted to run for, much less occupy the Oval Office? In truth, on account of his mendacity alone, he should never have been issued a security clearance of any classification. We the undersigned call on the appropriate agents and institutions empowered with the grave yet necessary responsibility to initiate the process of removing Donald Trump from the office of the Presidency of the United States in a just but speedy process.

Hollywood’s last great journeyman director
verbatim
“I think [Jon Stewart] is brilliant. Our point of view is just — it is different. We’ve been steeped in womanness for a long time, and we have other s--- going on, and we see the world differently.”
Jonathan Demme’s gift for exploring people on film was unrivaled
SAMANTHA BEE, talking with Lena Dunham for The Hollywood Reporter about how Bee’s “Daily Show” job primed her for “Full Frontal.” “It allowed me to have the exact career that I wanted to have,” she said.
“The Silence of the Lambs” director Jonathan Demme died Wednesday.
As a filmmaker who cut his teeth working for the B-movie impresario Roger Corman, along with the likes of Martin Scorsese, John Sayles, Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron, Demme stands out among his peers, not only for his artistic accomplishments, but for the sheer breadth and depth of the genres in which he worked. His love for people and the
JOEL RYAN (AP)
1944-2017 “If the story’s worth telling, I’ll tell it. And, arguably, everybody’s story is worth telling.” That was Jonathan Demme in an interview 10 years ago, as he prepared to be honored at the Charles Guggenheim Symposium at the Silverdocs film festival. As a filmmaker every bit as attracted to Haitian culture and Middle Eastern politics as music and spirituality, there’s no doubt that Demme — who died Wednesday at 73 of complications from esophageal cancer — possessed the energy, curiosity and humanism befitting Guggenheim’s legacy. As a director who swung regularly between documentaries and narrative features, he embodied the best principles of each, which in turn nourished his work in both. Demme won the directing Oscar in 1992 for “The Silence of the Lambs” (one of many for the film), which, despite inspiring the trend of injecting sadism into sophisticated suspense, stands to this day as the gold standard of the form. But he also made one of the greatest music documentaries of all time — “Stop Making Sense,” a concert film featuring Talking Heads — as well as an ambitious three-film project documenting the life and work of Neil Young.
art form with which he explored them informed every frame of his films. From “Melvin and Howard” and “Something Wild” to “Philadelphia” and “Rachel Getting Married,” it’s difficult to imagine a filmmaker starting out today who could look forward to making movies as different in voice, subject matter and style — and yet as consistently good.

Jeff Goldblum is returning to the “Jurassic Park” franchise. The actor will reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in next year’s “Jurassic World” sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Goldblum played the mathematician in the first two films of the franchise, 1993’s “Jurassic Park” and 1997’s “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” but was absent from the 2015 reboot, “Jurassic World,” starring Chris Pratt. The sequel will open on June 22, 2018. (AP) M. Night Shyamalan to make “Split”/“Unbreakable” hybrid sequel titled “Glass”
Kesha’s battle with Dr. Luke gets messier MUSIC Sony’s relationship with embattled producer Dr. Luke is in question, according to court records — which might at first appear like vindication for pop star Kesha, who has been fighting him in court for years. But that might not be the case. A court filing from attorneys representing Sony-owned Kemosabe Records states that “Lukasz Gottwald is no longer the CEO of Kemosabe Records and does not have authority to act on its behalf.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, the page devoted to his work on the Sony website has been removed. In 2014, Kesha filed a suit against the producer, born Lukasz Gottwald, claiming that he had drugged, raped and traumatized her through emotional abuse. She asked the court to release her from a contract that bound her to produce six records with him. Dr. Luke has consistently denied the singer’s accusations, and countersued Kesha for defamation. In a counterclaim filed in response to his defamation lawsuit, Kesha’s attorneys warned that she’d be in a more vulnerable position after Sony’s contract with Dr. Luke “purportedly ends”: “Without the court’s intervention and Sony’s facilitation, Kesha will remain contractually bound to Dr. Luke until she releases three additional albums … no matter how many years that takes.” CAITLIN GIBSON (TWP)

trending “Commuter Barbie comes with a buzzy new novel, coffee-stained New Yorker, headphones and Strand tote bag. ... Metro card sold separately.” THE “COMMUTER BARBIE” VIDEO, a comedy ad created for the fictional
AIRBNB
“Commuter Barbie,” a caricature of a young female professional in New York City who takes the subway to work. The brainchild of NYC comedians Carina Hsieh and Claudia Arisso, the spot-on clip parodies struggles well-known to “Commuter Barbie” types, such as dealing with “manspreading,” spilling coffee and grabbing the dreaded subway pole, causing her hands to “smell like pennies.”
“ ‘Drake uses Airbnb like a normal person.’ Stays at a 10k a night house.” @ALANTHEROGUE, making fun of rapper Drake’s Airbnb stay. Drake has been staying recently at a lavish, $10,000-a-night Airbnb rental in Beverly Hills. He thanked Airbnb in an Instagram post Monday for “the gift of this home.” The listing says it features an infinity pool, home theater, formal gardens and six bedrooms.
“Can you point to an example of where you said ‘I like how he is using that mic’ [about] male politicians?” @DONMOYN, tweeting at Fox News
host Jesse Watters. After blasting liberals for not respecting Ivanka Trump, Watters made what sounded like a crude joke about Ivanka, saying, “I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone.” He denied that he meant any innuendo, but he was widely criticized on social media.
“It’s not a trend. It’s an expression of men’s violence against women. Same old, new name. #stealthing is rape.”
“Doritos — now with an in-built cassette deck player. I mean we haven’t cured cancer yet but science is clearly making headway.”
@VONNY_BRAVO, pushing back at news coverage calling a form of sexual violence a “worrying trend.” “Stealthing” is a term that describes when a man removes a condom during sex without consent. A recent report found that cases in the U.S. are on the rise.
@CAPTIONBARBOSA, tweeting about a “Guardians of the Galaxy” promotion by Doritos: chip bags that double as casette players that play the upcoming movie’s retro soundtrack. The bags will be available Friday on Amazon — while supplies last.

RESPONSES
Madonna seems to be unhappy with a planned biopic about her life, “Blond Ambition,” that Universal just acquired rights to. She expressed her displeasure in an Instagram post on Tuesday, writing: “Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool. Looking for instant gratification without doing the work.” (AP/EXPRESS)

‘We hear you, but we don’t care.’ — Hollywood
Aretha’s fax is down, so she’d like Dionne’s apology sent via carrier pigeon.
In her Vanity Fair cover story, Brie Larson said she’s struck up a new friendship with Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence. “I was able to talk with them about everything that was going on in my life, and it was with people who had been through it before and are also hilarious,” she said. Vanity Fair added that the three friends sometimes text with Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer, too. (EXPRESS)

Mommy & Daddy couldn’t be happier.” (EXPRESS)

Imagine what Johnny’s Amazon cart looks like Johnny Depp addressed a point of contention in his current legal battle with his former business managers, The Management Group. TMG said Depp spent $3 million on a custom cannon, but Depp told The Wall Street Journal he actually paid $5 million. “It’s my money. If I want to buy 15,000 cotton balls a day, it’s my thing,” he said. (EXPRESS)
Aretha gets petty with Kinko’s help Aretha Franklin has come out swinging against fellow legend Dionne Warwick. Franklin called The Associated Press on Tuesday, after sending a lengthy fax the day before, to address what she claimed was a “libelous” statement against her made five years ago: when Warwick said at Whitney Houston’s funeral that Franklin was the late singer’s godmother. Franklin said she first met Houston when Houston was a child — and she was far too busy to be anyone’s godmother. “We’ve never been friends and I don’t think that Dionne has ever liked me,” Franklin added.
