page three The ultimate American trip THE DISTRICT Mikah Meyer has spent the past three years hiking, rafting, flying in planes, riding on trains, sailing on boats and mostly driving, driving, driving across every corner of America. He has followed the trail of U.S. history from the Revolution to the civil rights movement, from battlefields to presidents’ homes, from forests to canyons, from shore to shore.

As of Monday, Meyer has been to all 419 National Park Service sites — becoming, he believes, the first person to ever complete such a feat in one continuous road trip.

Meyer’s three-year trip ended Monday morning with a visit to the Lincoln Memorial, his final site. He climbed the steps surrounded by not only friends and family but also by perfect strangers — people who followed Meyer’s epic road trip on Instagram and Facebook and became

such fans that they had to come see him finish his journey.

“I really got to know the American story,” said Meyer, 33. “More than just natural wonders, the park service sites tell our American story.”

Meyer was inspired to take the trip by his father, whose death when Meyer was 19 spurred him not to put off his dreams for later. In 2016, he moved out of his North Bethesda, Md., apartment and took off on the road in a utility van.

He started out with about onefifth of the funds he needed, raising the rest through donations from social media fans, corporate sponsors and churches.

“As a pastor’s kid, I swore I’d never grow up to be a preacher,” said Meyer, whose father was a Lutheran minister in Nebraska.

“My old man, he got the last laugh — I was preaching almost every Sunday.”

He said the members of the more than 100 churches he visited often wanted to support him because he was attracting positive news coverage as a gay Christian.

Apple Carnegie Library to open next weekend

Among the more than 400 sites Mikah Meyer visited were Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, Redwood National Park in California and the Lincoln Memorial in D.C.

As this chapter of his adventure ended Monday, he walked up the Lincoln Memorial’s steps surrounded by television cameras.

“The day I lie on my deathbed, whether it’s 60 years from now or six days from now, I can say I did something,” Meyer said, shaking his head in awe.

Then he stepped into the cool dark space of Lincoln’s chamber, gazing up at the statue of the fabled president. He had history to honor here, and lessons to learn, and a nation’s beauty and complexity to try to take in — for one last, 419th time. JULIE ZAUZMER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Jones voted House speaker MARYLAND Maryland lawmakers elected the first black woman to be the state’s House speaker on Wednesday, a stunning turn of events after she had dropped out of the race days earlier to endorse another African American candidate for the powerful state office.

Before Adrienne Jones was unanimously elected during a one-day special session, the position had only been held by white men.

Jones was chosen after Democrats who control the chamber debated for hours behind closed doors over two other candidates, Del. Maggie McIntosh and Del. Dereck Davis.

“Wow,” Jones said from the rostrum, after she was sworn in. “I didn’t think I would be here today.”

Jones, 64, became the unanimous choice of 98 Democrats to break an impasse.

The contest between McIntosh, a progressive gay white woman from Baltimore, and Davis, a moderate black man from Prince George’s County, had divided the Democratic caucus. Neither candidate was able to reach the 71 votes needed to clinch the speakership in the Democratic caucus, which is traditionally where the decision has been made in a state where Democrats outnumber

In a surprising turn, Maryland lawmakers elect first black woman

Del. Adrienne Jones was elected Maryland House speaker on Wednesday after Democrats couldn’t come to a consensus on two other candidates.

Republicans 2-1.

“We were going back and forth,” Jones said after the vote, with Davis and McIntosh standing on either side of her. She said both former candidates agreed with her selection as an alternative.

“If not, we would have still been in the caucus room, probably [until] eight, nine, ten o’clock tonight,” she said.

“It’s the most incredible experience I’ve had in 28 years. ... We’re 100 percent solidly behind Adrienne.”

DEL. KUMAR BARVE, a Montgomery

County Democrat, on the stunning turn of events in the speaker vote

None of it seemed possible five days ago, when Jones joined Davis at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture in Baltimore to unify black lawmakers in a state with a 30 percent black population.

“There’s lots of diversity out there, and Adrienne represents both African Americans and women, so we’re able to have two groups that have historically been underrepresented, both as a presiding officer as well as in statewide office,” Davis said.

As House speaker pro tem, Jones presided over the chamber during the last weeks of April’s legislative session during the illness and death of former House Speaker Michael Busch, who died a day before the session ended last month.

“Adrienne has been spectacular,” Davis said. “She guided us through the roughest period I know during my 25 years down here. She did it with dignity and grace, and she’s the best person for the job.”

McIntosh said the outcome was “a great choice and it was the right choice.”

“It was amazing to witness, and I think we all are better and stronger for it.”

Del. Nic Kipke, leader of the chamber’s 42 Republicans, also praised the decision.

“She’s been a great friend to us, and I’ve never felt in any way like we didn’t have her ear, a fair mind and frankly a welcoming spirit,” Kipke said. BRIAN WITTE (AP)

D.C. homelessness drops for 3rd year THE DISTRICT The number of homeless people counted on the streets and in the shelters of D.C. has dropped for the third straight year, officials announced Wednesday.

There were 6,521 homeless people in the District, a 5.5% decline from last year, according to the annual count performed by the city. The trend was driven by a 15.6 reduction in family homelessness, while the number of homeless single adults actually increased by 2.8%.

The results were welcomed by the administration of Mayor Muriel Bowser, whose promises to reduce homelessness — especially among families and children — were a core part of her first mayoral campaign, in 2014. Since Bowser’s first year in office, family homelessness has dropped by nearly 24%, while

overall homelessness has fallen by nearly 12%.

“We think this is a really important indicator of our progress,” said Laura Zeilinger, director of the D.C. Department of Human Services. “The system has been broken for many, many years, and we can see that we are turning it around in really important and meaningful ways.”

The count is based on a tabulation of those living on the streets on a single night in January, as well as a census of families in the shelter system.

The increase in homeless single adults came even though 1,200 people in that category were moved into housing last year — indicating that many new people became homeless over that period. PETER JAMISON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Baltimore leader has been out of public eye for more than a month BALTIMORE Viewers of Baltimore newscasts are getting used to seeing images of embattled Mayor Catherine Pugh’s lawyer pulling up to her three-story house and vanishing inside. He later insists that her health is too fragile for her to think clearly enough to make decisions about the future.

But after a month on paid leave from her $185,000 job as the city’s

No. 1 official, her lawyer’s cryptic comments about the mayor’s open-ended retreat inside her home in the city are straining the credulity of some Baltimore taxpayers. The scandal focused on her self-published children’s books isn’t going away, leaving her politically vulnerable and deeply isolated.

“I think she’s in a tough place and she’s hiding at home trying to save face,” city resident Rachel Richardson said.

Some are asking why the firstterm Democratic mayor isn’t hospitalized, if she’s so ill that

Suspicions grow as mayor’s leave drags on

News crews have staked out Mayor Catherine Pugh’s Baltimore home since she took leave April 1.

Virginia Sen. Amanda Chase apologizes for berating police officer over parking space

she can’t think “lucidly,” as her attorney Steven Silverman stated last week. Silverman has said the ailing Pugh mayor suffered a bout of pneumonia followed by bronchitis and is also “extremely emotionally distraught.”

Some lawmakers are losing patience with her silence as her indefinite home leave drags on.

State Sen. Jill Carter, a Baltimore Democrat who sponsored an initial reform bill that exposed alleged “self-dealing” by Pugh and

other members of a Maryland medical system’s board, says Silverman should produce some kind of documentation from the mayor’s physician.

Council member Ryan Dorsey said it’s abundantly clear to him that she’s not coming back to City Hall, leaving Acting Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young to finish out her term.

“She’s not welcome by anybody in the city government and not by the people of the city,” Dorsey said. “And all signs indicate she’s going to prison.”

Spelling bee scraps disliked tiebreaker test

Students sing Monday during a sit-in at the Phi Psi fraternity house at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.

Pa. college’s fraternities disband amid protests Years-old documents reveal members using slurs, joking about rape SWARTHMORE, PA. Swarthmore College’s two fraternities announced Tuesday that they are disbanding after weathering intense criticism over years-old documents that contained allegations of a “rape attic” as well as homophobic, racist and misogynistic language.

In statements posted Tuesday night to Facebook, members of Phi Psi, which is not nationally affiliated, and Delta Upsilon wrote that they had unanimously decided to dissolve their fraternities and give up their houses.

In April, a redacted version of

13%

a 116-page document that reportedly contained Phi Psi’s old meeting minutes and details of pledge tasks was published by two campus publications, revealing troubling details about the culture within the selective Pennsylvania college’s fraternities.

T he docu ments fe at u re graphic descriptions of members’ sexual encounters, including a reference to an alleged “rape tunnel.” It also describes their conversations about women, minority groups and sexual assault that often contained offensive language, such as homophobic and racial slurs. The documents chronicle activities between 2010 and 2016, The Phoenix, one of the student publications, reported.

“We cannot in good conscience

be members of an organization with such a painful history,” the members of Phi Psi said in Tuesday’s statement.

The college’s chapter of Delta Upsilon wrote that disbanding was “in the best interest of the Swarthmore community.”

“We hope that our former house will provide a space that is inclusive, safe, and promotes healing,” the fraternity’s statement said.

The fraternities’ announcements came after mounting student protests, including a days-long sit-in at the Phi Psi house, prompted administrators to suspend all fraternity activity on the campus located west of Philadelphia pending the results of an investigation. ALLYSON CHIU

But the spike was most dramatic in Western Europe, where Jews have faced even greater threats: In Germany, for instance, there was a 70% increase in anti-Semitic violence.

White House requests $4.5B more for border POLITICS The White House sent Congress a $4.5 billion emergency spending request Wednesday, citing an unfolding “humanitarian and security crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border as record numbers of Central American families and children seek entrance to the U.S. The request includes $3.3 billion for humanitarian assistance and $1.1 billion for border operations, and represents a dramatic escalation of the administration’s efforts to address the situation at the border.

The money would be in addition to the more than $8 billion that President Trump asked for in his 2020 budget request to build border barriers, as well as some $6 billion in funding he sought as he declared a national emergency at the border earlier this year.

“The situation becomes more dire each day,” White House acting budget director Russ Vought wrote in the request to congressional leaders. “The migration flow and the resulting humanitarian crisis is rapidly overwhelming the ability of the Federal Government to respond.”

Democrats responded with skepticism to the new request, which comes as Trump prepares to run for reelection on a hard-line immigration agenda.

It also arrives as Congress in the midst of a fight over a different emergency spending bill, for disaster aid. ERICA WERNER ,MARIA SACCHETTI AND NICK MIROFF (TWP)

Barr and Mueller rift goes public

LONDON

Assange gets 50 weeks in prison for skipping bail A British judge sentenced WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Wednesday to 50 weeks in prison for skipping bail seven years ago and holing up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

The judge appeared unimpressed

by Assange’s lawyer’s argument that he sought refuge because he feared being taken from Sweden, where he faced sexual misconduct allegations, to the U.S. Assange faces a separate court hearing today on a U.S. extradition request. (AP)

Attorney general calls special counsel’s letter criticizing his summary ‘a bit snitty’ The airing of disagreements over the handling of the report followed Mueller’s two-year investigation into Russian interference to help Trump in the 2016 campaign and the possibility that Trump’s team conspired with the Russians. During most of the investigation, the Justice Department and Mueller’s team seemed to be unified in approach.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers have been anything but unified. And their partisan divide was on full display during Wednesday’s contentious Judiciary Committee hearing, which included three Democratic presidential candidates.

Some Republicans, in addition to defending Trump, focused on the president’s 2016 Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s email and campaign practices and what they argued has been a lack of investigation of them.

Democrats, for their part, moved to exploit the daylight between Barr and Mueller to attack the attorney general’s credibility and accuse him of unduly spinning the special counsel’s report in the president’s favor.

Barr entered the hearing on the defensive following reports hours earlier that Mueller had complained to him in a letter and over the phone about the way his findings were being portrayed.

Two days after receiving Mueller’s report, Barr had released a

WASHINGTON Private tensions between Justice Department leaders and Robert Mueller’s team broke into public view in extraordinary fashion Wednesday as Attorney General William Barr pushed back at the special counsel’s “snitty” complaints over his handling of the Trump-Russia investigation report.

Testifying for the first time since releasing Mueller’s report, Barr said he was surprised Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether President Trump had tried to obstruct justice, and that he had felt compelled to step in with his own judgment that the president had committed no crime.

“I’m not really sure of his reasoning,” Barr said of Mueller’s obstruction analysis, which neither accused the president of a crime nor exonerated him. “I think that if he felt that he shouldn’t go down the path of making a traditional prosecutive decision then he shouldn’t have investigated. That was the time to pull up.”

Barr was also perturbed by a private letter Mueller sent him complaining that the attorney general had not properly portrayed the special counsel’s findings.

Barr called the note “a bit snitty.”

“I said, ‘Bob, what’s with the letter? Just pick up the phone and call me if there is an issue,’ ” Barr said.

Attorney General William Barr said Wednesday he was surprised Robert Mueller didn’t reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice in his report.

Developments Barr declines to testify before House panel: Attorney General William Barr told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that he will not testify about special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, raising the prospect that Democrats will hold the nation’s top law enforcement official in contempt of Congress. Barr had been scheduled to testify today.

Graham says, ‘It’s over’: Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., disagrees with Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee that Mueller needs to testify. In his opening statement for Barr’s hearing, Graham said he’s ready to move on from Mueller’s report. “It’s over,” he said.

four-page letter that summarized the report’s main conclusions.

Mueller’s letter, dated March 27, conveyed his unhappiness that Barr released what the attorney general saw as the bottom-line conclusions of the investigation and not the introductions and executive summaries that Mueller’s team had prepared and believed conveyed more nuance and context than Barr’s own letter.

Uprising attempt sputters VENEZUELA Venezuelans heeded opposition leader Juan Guaidó’s call to fill streets around the nation Wednesday, but security forces showed no sign of backing his cry for a widespread military uprising, instead dispersing crowds with tear gas as the political crisis threatened to deepen.

Thousands cheered Guaidó in Caracas as he rolled up his sleeves and called on Venezuelans to remain out in force and prepare for a general strike, a day after his bold attempt to spark a mass military defection by forces loyal to President Nicolás Maduro failed to tilt the balance of power.

“It’s totally clear now the usurper has lost,” Guaidó proclaimed, a declaration belied by events on the ground.

Across town at the Carlota air base near where Guaidó made his plea Tuesday for a revolt, intense clashes between protesters and troops loyal to Maduro made clear the standoff would drag on.

There and elsewhere, state security forces launched tear gas and fired rubber bullets, while bands of mostly young men armed with makeshift shields threw rocks and set a motorcycle ablaze.

“I don’t want to say it was a disaster,” Marilina Carillo, 54, said, standing in a crowd of people blowing horns and whistles.

“But it wasn’t a success.”

As Venezuelans take to the streets, military sticks with Maduro

Opposition leader Juan Guaidó expresses gratitude to his supporters at a rally in Caracas on Wednesday, left, while opposition demonstrators clash with soldiers loyal to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Guaidó’s risky move would stir a string of highranking defections and shake Maduro’s grip on Maduro power. Instead, some analysts expect the embattled leader to emerge emboldened.

While the chief of Venezuela’s feared intelligence agency broke ranks, most others stood steadfast.

The dramatic events could spell even more uncertainty for Venezuela, which has been rocked by three months of political upheaval after Guaidó re-energized a flagging opposition movement by declaring himself interim president, saying Maduro had usurped power.

Now the st r uggle h as

heightened geopolitical dimensions, with the United States and more than 50 other nations backing Guaidó, and powerful Maduro allies like Russia lending the beleaguered president military and economic support.

U.S. national security adviser John Bolton said Wednesday that Maduro is surrounded by “scorpions in a bottle” and that key figures among his inner circle had been “outed” as dealing with the opposition. The U.S. also asserts that Maduro had been ready to flee but was talked out of it by Russian advisers.

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for Russia’s Foreign Ministry, said such assertions were part of a “global information and psychological war against

Venezuela and Caracas.”

Protesters like Beatriz Pino, who took to the streets Wednesday waving flags and banging pots and pans, said they weren’t entirely surprised by the military’s response to Guaidó. Despite the setback, she said she remained committed to the opposition’s call for protest.

“We can’t leave the streets,” she said. “We’ve been in this for years.”

As the standoff drags on, the lives of Venezuelans struggling with soaring hyperinflation and shortages of food and medicine could become even more difficult.

Federal wildlife officials said Wednesday a large scavenging beetle that has been classified as endangered since 1989 has become more plentiful and should be downlisted to threatened. Conservation efforts have helped the American burying beetle recover from the brink of extinction, but environmentalists say the agency’s decision to downgrade the beetle is driven by pressure from the oil and gas industry.

Methodist class decides against joining church RELIGION Eight middle school confirmation class members have decided against joining an Omaha Methodist church in protest over the denomination’s renewed ban on same-sex marriage and gay clergy.

The eight were scheduled to become part of the congregation Sunday at First United Methodist Church. But the class, made up of seventh- and eighth-graders, declined and issued a written statement instead.

“We are disappointed about the direction the United Methodist denomination is heading,” it said. “We are concerned that if we join at this time, we will be sending a message that we approve of this decision. We want to be clear that ... we believe that policies on LGBTQ clergy and same-sex marriage are immoral.”

The congregation’s response was positive.

“There were a lot of tears and a standing ovation,” said the Rev. Kent Little, the church’s senior pastor.

On Friday, the denomination’s judicial council upheld portions of a plan adopted in February by the church’s legislative assembly and designed to strengthen the bans on same-sex marriage and ordination of LGBTQ pastors.

The Omaha congregation voted April 2 to allow both its clergy and others to perform same-sex weddings on church property, defying the denominational ban. (AP)

nation+world Riley Howell rushed the man firing on his UNC-Charlotte class CHARLOTTE, N.C. A North Carolina college student tackled a gunman who opened fire in his classroom, saving others’ lives but losing his own in the process, police said Wednesday.

Riley Howell, 21, was among the students gathered for end-ofyear presentations in an anthropology class at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte when a gunman with a pistol

began shooting students. Ellis R. Parlier, 19, of Midland, N.C., was also killed in the attack. Four other students were wounded.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said Howell “took the assailant off his feet,” but was fatally wounded. He said Howell did what police train people to do in active shooter situations.

The motive for the shooting wasn’t immediately clear. Suspect Trystan Andrew Terrell had been enrolled at the school but withdrew during the current semester, UNC-Charlotte

spokeswoman Buffy Stephens said. Campus Police Chief Jeff Baker said Terrell had not appeared on their radar as a potential threat.

Terrell, 22, was charged with two counts of murder, four counts of attempted murder and other charges.

Putney said the suspect didn’t appear to target any particular person but did deliberately pick the building where it happened.

A campus vigil for the victims was planned for Wednesday evening. TOM FOREMAN JR. AND SARAH BLAKE MORGAN (AP)

South African runner Caster Semenya won gold in the 800 at the past two Olympics.

HANDED DOWN

Theismann OKs Haskins to wear No. 7

Ruling sets testosterone restrictions TRACK & FIELD The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled Wednesday that Caster Semenya, a two-time Olympic champion for South Africa and the subject of one of the biggest controversies the track and field world has seen, will have to take medications that suppress her testosterone output to continue competing.

Semenya had appealed to the court, challenging a controversial International Association of Athletics Federations rule targeting women who naturally produce high levels of testosterone.

By a 2-1 margin, a panel of three arbitrators sided with the IAAF, allowing the sport’s international governing body to maintain its restrictions on athletes such as Semenya, a female competitor who is believed to have an intersex condition that causes her body to naturally produce testosterone at levels much higher than most women.

In issuing its decision, the court agreed that the IAAF rules are discriminatory, “but the majority of the Panel found that, on the basis of the evidence submitted by the parties, such discrimination is a necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF’s aim of preserving the integrity of female athletics,” the court said in its executive summary.

The controversial case had cast a spotlight on issues of women’s rights, fairness in sport and human rights, dividing many in the track and field world.

At stake was whether the rule was fair to Semenya, one of the world’s most dominant middledistance runners, and whether allowing Semenya to race with a demonstrative biological advantage was fair to her competitors.

“It is not possible to give effect to one set of rights without restricting the other set of rights,” the panel wrote.

AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Panel: Female South African runner must take medicine to reduce levels to compete

‘This fight is not over’ Hudson Taylor, the executive director of Athlete Ally, the nonprofit LGBTQ athletic advocacy organization, criticized the ruling on Caster Semenya. “Forcing athletes to undergo medically unnecessary interventions in order to participate in the sport they dedicate their lives to is cruel, and a violation of their human rights,” he said. “This fight is not over.” (TWP)

Semenya, 28, has become a lightning rod of sorts on the track.

She won gold in the 800 at the past two Olympics and is a three-time world champion but has faced scrutiny, raised eyebrows and skeptical whispers since winning

her first world title at age 18.

“I know that the IAAF’s regulations have always targeted me specifically,” Semenya said in a statement Wednesday. “For a decade the IAAF has tried to slow me down, but this has actually made me stronger. The decision of the CAS will not hold me back.

I will once again rise above and continue to inspire young women and athletes in South Africa and around the world.”

She did not say whether she intended to comply with the IAAF rule to defend her world title later this year and potentially compete at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Her lawyers said in a statement they will consider appealing the panel’s decision.

Joe Theismann has given Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, below, his blessing to wear his number in Washington.

Theismann’s No. 7 was never officially retired by the team, but no other player has worn it since he retired in 1985.

“It’s not a retired number,” he said Wednesday on 106.7 The Fan. “I guess you could call it a semiactive number.

And it was important to [Haskins].” Theismann, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback, still hasn’t met Haskins, but he decided to give him the go-ahead over the phone. “I want the kid to be successful,” he said in an interview with Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier.

Team president denies rumors that owner tried to take over draft

NFL Redskins team president Bruce Allen has done several interviews this week about Washington’s much-ballyhooed draft, and in most of them, he’s talked up the nurturing environment rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins can expect to find in

Ashburn. Allen, who has rarely taken questions from local media in recent years, also took the opportunity to discredit rumors about division in the Redskins’ front office before the draft.

As a guest on Stephen A. Smith’s ESPN Radio show on Tuesday, Allen downplayed the notion that Redskins owner Dan Snyder was responsible for Washington drafting Haskins with the 15th pick.

There was speculation last week that Snyder was “taking over” the

Redskins will not pick up WR Josh Doctson’s fifth-year option

JOHN McDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Redskins’ Allen sticks up for boss Bruce Allen, right, said Dan Snyder is a great American success story.

Redskins’ draft plan, with some pointing to the fact that Snyder’s son attended the same high school Haskins graduated from in 2016 — the Bullis School in Potomac — among the evidence that the

Ohio State quarterback was the owner’s No. 1 guy.

“Dan supported it, as did everybody,” Allen said when asked about taking Haskins. Allen credited Williams, the Redskins’

senior VP of player personnel, and director of college scouting Kyle Smith for putting together Washington’s draft board. Allen said the team decided not to trade picks to move up from the No. 15 position in the first round because it liked so many of the players available.

Later in the interview, Allen stuck up for his oft-criticized boss, whose teams have won two playoff games since he bought the franchise in 1999.

“He’s one of America’s great success stories,” Allen said.

“When the team came for sale, he bought it. He didn’t buy it to buy an NFL team. This was his dream team. He’s a fan.”

ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” will go with a two-person booth for the upcoming season, with Booger McFarland joining Joe Tessitore.

McFarland was a field-level analyst for most of last season before moving upstairs for the final two games. Jason Witten lasted only one season after deciding in February to end his retirement and rejoin the Dallas Cowboys. Network officials reached out to Peyton Manning, with whom the network said it had informal discussions. ESPN also announced Wednesday that Lisa Salters signed a multiyear contract and will return for her eighth season as the sideline reporter. (AP)

Bruno Fernando announced Wednesday that he will remain in this year’s NBA draft, ending his Maryland career after two seasons.

“After further consideration, I have decided to place my entire focus on the NBA draft as I pursue my dream of playing basketball at the highest level,” Fernando said in a statement released by the university. Fernando was a consistent force for Maryland through the 2018-19 season. As a sophomore, he recorded 22 doubledoubles, averaging 13.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. Fernando is projected to be a late first-round pick in most mock drafts. The draft is June 20. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Catharsis on the Mall is a slimmed-down twist on a desert tradition FESTIVALS Every year since 2015, the organizers behind Catharsis on the Mall have staged a weekend-long, miniature Burning Man beside the Washington Monument. This year, they are offering an addition to their typical festival of lectures, all-night dance parties and flammable art: decent weather.

“It has been unbearably cold

in past years, because it was in November, so we moved it to the spring,” spokesperson Lauren Berlekamp says. “We are hoping the sun will keep shining for us through the weekend, despite any current forecasts.”

Starting Friday at noon, Catharsis on the Mall will offer 48 hours of nonstop programming loosely centered on the theme of environmental protection — or, as the organizers put it, “Our Mothership.” Lectures on climate change will happen side by side with interactive art installations

All Express. All the time.

Born and raised in the D.C. area, Alan Paul thought he’d left for good when he moved to Illinois for college. But just a year after graduating from Northwestern University in 2006, Paul returned to D.C., having landed a coveted directing fellowship at the Shakespeare Theatre Company. Today he’s the associate artistic director at the theater, where he most recently reimagined the Shakespeare play “The Comedy of Errors” as a musical. His next Shakespeare Theatre production promises to be similarly innovative: Set to debut in December, it’s a new adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan” by feminist playwright Lauren Gunderson that puts girls at the center of the narrative. As you can see from Paul’s dream itinerary, that show is clearly on his mind. “My day is a little bit nerdy, because I love what I do,” he says.

I would begin on Capitol Hill, which is where the Shakespeare Theatre’s offices and rehearsal spaces are. But before I go into rehearsal, I would go to Little Pearl. It’s the offshoot of Pineapple and Pearls, and they have the silkiest Americano and a great little menu of sandwiches and pastries.

Then I would go into rehearsal because I just love being in rehearsal working with great actors. It would be for “Peter Pan,” and we’d be working on the big Captain Hook-Peter Pan fight at the end of the show. I’d be sitting with Lauren Gunderson, the playwright, because there’s nothing more exciting than

Then I would spend the afternoon in rehearsal at Sidney Harman Hall downtown, and it would be the flying rehearsal.

I have never done a play where there has been flying, so I’m really excited to try it. I’d be there with the choreographer and the actors, trying to figure out all of the wonderful things that you can do in the air.

After rehearsal, I’d go to my favorite bar in the city, the bar at The Prime Rib. It’s an oldschool steakhouse — you have to wear a sport coat if you’re a gentleman. It’s a big, dark bar and they have live music.

Melvin, who is a bartender there, makes the driest Ketel One martini in town. They also have the best, largest raw oysters in the city.

I would end the day in my neighborhood, Logan Circle. I think the best-kept secret in all of Washington is the upstairs bar and lounge at Corduroy restaurant. Upstairs they have a $30 fixed-price menu that is incredible. Or maybe I’d go all the way to Bethesda, to the Woodmont Grill. They have the best french fries and the most addictive kale salad. The other thing I love so much is, like, 15 minutes into the dinner, they will bring you a chilled martini glass and take your half-drunk martini and put it in a new, chilled glass. It feels like such an incredible luxury, to have this constantly chilled glass.

(OK, one of these does involve music, but it’s not your typical concert experience.) K.P.K. FAR BETWEEN PICTURES LLC

Zalmen Mlotek artist talk

The documentary “The Passengers,” about Ethiopian Jews trying to move to Israel, will screen at the JxJ festival.

A powerful merging of sights and sounds FESTIVALS The Washington Jewish Film Festival and the Washington Jewish Music Festival have been D.C. cultural fixtures for decades.

But they won’t happen this year.

Don’t worry: The two are now joined as JxJ, an amalgamation celebrating both art forms — and a few others as well.

“We’re exploring all these perspectives on the Jewish experience, and we’ve been doing it successfully through film and through music,” festival director Ilya Tovbis says. “We thought, ‘What better way to really expand that by having those conversations through both art forms?’ ” Uniting film and music, Tovbis says, allows one medium to shed light on the other, as well as on the Jewish experience worldwide. The documentary “The

Two of D.C.’s longtime Jewish cultural festivals come together for JxJ

Singer Gili Yalo, an Ethiopian Jew now based in Tel Aviv, blends traditional and modern sounds.

Passengers,” for example, is about Ethiopian Jews and their struggle to immigrate to Israel, where it seems the government doesn’t want them. On the music side, singer Gili Yalo — an Ethiopian Jew now living in Israel — combines traditional Ethiopian rhythms and melodies with jazz, soul and funk techniques. The

film will be shown on May 11 and 14, while Yalo will perform on May 12.

“If you were to go to both of these evenings, one of them would really be an eye-opening, sober look at the struggle of people today,” Tovbis says. “And then the music underscores their experience. You come away with two different perspectives, and that’s true of the way we live our lives.”

Tovbis says combining the two festivals is also a way to reach out to people who previously attended only one or the other.

“We’re hoping [people] will say, ‘Well, I may have previously only come for a [music] show or two, but now there’s a film that really sparks my interest,’ ” he says.

“A lot of them are clearly hungry for this deeper engagement.”

Mlotek, the artistic director of the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, was one of the forces behind (and the music director of) the Yiddishlanguage production of “Fiddler on the Roof,” now running at New York’s Stage 42. Mlotek will discuss the creation of the show, and afterward, you’ll hear “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Do You Love Me?” performed by cast members.

Eurovision Song Contest viewing party AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; May 18, 2:30 p.m., $20.

The finals for the always-bonkers international song competition take place in Tel Aviv this year.

JxJ will sponsor a live viewing party so you can cheer for your favorites while also enjoying a pop-up bar, trivia and a DJ playing Eurovision songs from years past.

In a partnership with Theater J, Dovid Pinski’s 1906 play gets a staged reading. It’s the story of a cheating drunk who marries a young woman in what’s doomed to be a failed relationship — or is it? The play (written in Yiddish, presented here in English) raises questions about how to make a seemingly impossible relationship work.

The Fugazi genome project

Carni Klirs became a Fugazi fanatic after seeing its final U.S. show.

CARNI KLIRS

COURTESY OF CARNI KLIRS

EXHIBITS There’s a chance you may be connected to one of punk rock’s most influential groups.

Formed in 1987, pioneering D.C. band Fugazi built a sprawling network in the local music scene and beyond. D.C.-based graphic designer Carni Klirs can name at least 5,000 bands — including Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beatles — that have ties to the straight-edge punks of Fugazi.

Klirs charts the band’s massive reach, and other impressive Fugazi stats, through his highly detailed data visualization piece “Action. Reaction. Action: Visualizing Fugazi,” which opened on April 13 at Mount Pleasant’s Lost Origins Gallery.

Klirs’ Fugazi obsession took hold nearly 17 years ago while he was in high school. At Fort Reno’s Summer Concert Series in 2002, he witnessed the band’s final show in the U.S. “To see literally thousands of people from the city that I live in come see this one band, and know every word to their songs — it felt like a big, vibrant community,” Klirs says. “It showed me that punk can be its own world that doesn’t have to be this outlier thing.”

“Visualizing Fugazi” came into fruition last fall as Klirs’ graduate thesis project for Maryland Institute College of Art, where he was studying information visualization. With frontman Ian MacKaye’s blessing, Klirs was able to mine data from the band’s Fugazi Live Series website, which lists every show the quartet played from 1987 through its last gig in 2002. (In total, Fugazi played over 1,000 concerts across five continents and in all 50 U.S. states.) Klirs used software tools such as

Klirs’ graphics were enlarged for the Lost Origins Gallery exhibit, which also features Fugazi artifacts and live recordings of the post-punk pioneers.

Tableau and Photoshop to bring the data to life.

“All together, it was probably around 200 hours of work,” Klirs says.

For his thesis, Klirs had the graphics printed into a fanzine, which he also began selling on his personal website. Soon enough, people from all over the world started inquiring about the project, including Jason Hamacher, founder and director of Lost Origins Gallery, who offered Klirs a chance to exhibit his work.

Aside from his graphics — which were reprinted in a larger format for viewing — the gallery is displaying never-before-seen

Fugazi — from left, Joe Lally, Guy Picciotto, Brendan Canty and Ian MacKaye — was a staple of D.C.’s punk scene.

Fugazi memorabilia such as flyers, photographs and more from archivist and musician John Davis, whose extensive D.C. punk collection is housed at the University of Maryland.

An audio collage of recordings from Fugazi shows plays over the gallery’s sound system to enhance the experience.

At the vanguard of D.C.’s doit-yourself movement, Fugazi often played benefit gigs for local charities, raising around $250,000 over the band’s life span, according to Klirs. To create a graphic that illustrates this aspect of the band, he crunched attendance figures and door pricing from the Live Series archive (factoring in incidental and production costs), and also referred to records that MacKaye had kept on the band’s shows.

“They picked organizations where a donation of a few thousand dollars would have a significant impact,” Klirs says.

“They ended up doing more benefit shows for Washington Free Clinic — who would provide free health care for AIDS patients — than any other group.”

Also impressive, according to Klirs, is the sprawling nature

“It’s not just an exploration of a dead history — it’s a way to connect the band’s impact and influence on the punk scene today.”

CARNI KLIRS, graphic designer,

on his exhaustive Fugazi family tree

of the band’s influence and connections. To put it into perspective, he designed a family tree — using data from bandtoband. com — showing musical acts that are connected to the quartet via shared members. Fugazi’s members — MacKaye, Joe Lally, Brendan Canty and Guy Picciotto — have played in a slew of other bands, such as Minor Threat, Rites of Spring and Deathfix. Klirs’ tree traces their connections from there to a multitude of other notable acts.

For example, Metallica’s connection to Fugazi can be traced in just four steps: MacKaye’s Minor Threat is tied to Bad Religion (via guitarist Brian Baker);

In America, Cinco de Mayo has evolved to mostly be about listlessly downing pitchers of margaritas. If that’s your thing, more power to you! But if you’re looking for something a little more special, here are three local events where you can celebrate the Mexican holiday (no margs required).

STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS)

former Bad Religion drummer Brooks Wackerman played in Suicidal Tendencies; and that band is connected to Metallica via bassist Robert Trujillo.

“The really cool thing about [the family tree] visualization is that there are also current active punk bands from the D.C. area on the list, like Priests and Flasher,” Klirs says. “It’s not just an exploration of a dead history — it’s a way to connect the band’s impact and influence on the punk scene today.”

The project began as a tribute to his favorite band, but Klirs says “Visualizing Fugazi” morphed into something much deeper.

“When I was at the gallery, people were looking at the band’s family tree and saying, ‘Oh, my friend plays in that band’ or ‘I’m just a few degrees off because I played with this guy who’s in this band that’s on the chart,’ ” Klirs says. “The visuals make the history seem more relevant and vibrant.”

With all of the dating and social media apps out there, do people even make friends offline anymore? As it turns out, yes, plenty of Washingtonians still do — and they’re showing off their best dance moves while doing it. D.C.’s social dance scene offers an abundance of classes and events where you can practice your do-si-do, master your tango moves or try to one-up Shakira with your best hip-shaking salsa dance — and meet new and interesting people in the process. “You feel a rhythm of the human spirit when you have people all dancing together,” says Don Fahey, publicist and a co-organizer of the DC Square Dance Collective. “It’s really something special.” Even if you’re a novice with two left feet, there’s a place in the world of social dancing for anyone who’s interested in giving it a whirl — or a twirl.

Here are four ways to take the first step. STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS)

Tango generally has very defined roles, with a man leading a woman through the partnerbased dance. Queer Tango is on a mission to erase those gender norms.

“We emphasize giving people the opportunity to dance with whoever they want,” says Liz Sabatiuk, who runs the Queer Tango program at nonprofit arts education studio Tango Mercurio. “The point is to not be constrained to your gender identity or biological sex.”

Sabatiuk began the weekly program last September with the intent of making tango more accessible to D.C.’s LGBTQ community. Classes are held Thursday nights at Columbia Heights’ BloomBars (3222 11th St. NW; 7 p.m., $20 per class or $100 for six classes), where anyone, regardless of dance experience, can learn the fundamentals of tango. Dancers who want to get in a little more practice can stay an hour after class to master their technique. You don’t need to bring a partner — all that’s

HERMINIO PALMA

Queer Tango

required is a willingness to get close with your neighbor, and comfy shoes that don’t stick on the floor (Sabatiuk suggests dancers wear just socks if they don’t have shoes that fit the bill).

DC Square Dance Collective Perhaps dancing isn’t your

strong suit and you need someone to guide you every step of the way. At DC Square Dance Collective’s events, callers instruct and prompt the dancers through a series of moves as you swing around your partner and do-sido to old-timey music played by a live string band.

The collective hosts its recurring Great American Square Dance Revival events at St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church (the dances typically draw 200 people, many young professionals in their 20s and 30s), in addition to smaller events throughout the year.

The dances are organized, but offer enough wiggle room for improvisation, according to Fahey, the publicist.

“There’s a looseness to square dance — if some dancers are a little slower than others, or are off the beat, it’s OK,” he reassures.

You also don’t have to show up with a partner in order to join in on the fun. The next opportunity for you to try out your moves is the collective’s annual Dare to Be Square DMV festival (Prince William Forest Park, Cabin Camp 4, 16180 Pleasant Road, Dumfries, Va.; May 17-19, $25-$70). The three-day event features dance workshops; live performances from acts such as The Black Twig Pickers and Tui; and, of course, plenty of dancing.

For five years, Earl Rush spent his weekends trekking from D.C. to New York City and Philadelphia to dance at the liveliest salsa parties he could find. Eventually, his stamina for traveling wore thin, as did his hopes that his ideal party would materialize in D.C. So he took matters into his own hands and started StuckOnSalsa in 2003.

The 63-year-old salsa instructor hosts weekly parties at Mix Bar and Grille (8241 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring; Wednesdays, 7:30 p.m.-midnight, free), Alba Osteria (425 I St. NW; Fridays, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., $10-$15) and Lucky Strike (701 Seventh St. NW; Sundays, 7:30 p.m.-1 a.m., $7-$14.50).

Beginners can take a one-hour salsa crash course before hitting the dance floor for the open dance. DJs supply the music as dancers work their best moves.

“I specialize in teaching people with two left feet, no rhythm at all and with no experience whatsoever,” Rush says. “If they really want to learn, by the end of the beginner’s class they’ll be able to participate by dancing the basics of salsa.”

Rush also hosts special events throughout the year, such as Salsa on the Mall, which will take place near the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Friday. For that event, there will be midday (11:15 a.m.-2 p.m.) and evening

(5-8 p.m.) parties where Rush will teach a quick beginner’s course for salsa newbies before the DJs and dance performers kick off the festivities.

Capital City Swing Attempting to do the Lindy Hop or the Balboa sounds terrifying for someone who’s not an experienced dancer, but Capital City Swing artistic director Gretchen Midgley insists the moves are easier to master than you’d think.

“Both dances are very social — you’re dancing with a partner to upbeat, fun jazz music and getting quick and to-the-point instruction,” she says, referring to the nonprofit organization’s classes. “[Swing is] an easy dance to pick up in half an hour to an hour.”

Compared to other forms of dance, swing is one of the most social. There’s no need to bring a partner — dancers typically

rotate partners throughout each class, which provides ample opportunity to meet people. The best footwear is flat, comfortable shoes with traction — sneakers such as Converse or Keds will do the trick. Capital City Swing offers three classes every Wednesday at Dumbarton House (2715 Q St. NW; $20 per class or $115 for a six-week course) that cover the Lindy Hop (an East Coast swing dance) and the Balboa (a West Coast swing dance).

A 30-minute beginner’s dropin class also takes place every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m., in addition to a social dance with a live band from 9 to 11:30 p.m. If you can’t make it on Wednesdays, Capital City Swing hosts a social dance on the first Friday of each month at Catholic University of America’s Caldwell Hall (including one this Friday, 8:30 p.m.-midnight, $20).

Add some mathematics to your life An affinity for numbers isn’t necessarily part of the equation at the National Math Festival. “Don’t count yourself out because you don’t think of yourself as a math person,” says Kirsten Bohl, project lead for Saturday’s event at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The third iteration of the free festival, organized by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, offers a hodgepodge of programming, including presentations, short films, “mathletic” competitions, dance performances, puzzles and games. Bohl emphasizes that while there’s plenty for kids and families, adults could “spend all day taking in juicy talks.” Here are a number to consider. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place NW; Sat., 10 a.m.-4 p.m., free.

11:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m.; 3:15-4 p.m.

There’s a little election slated for 2020, which means it’s a fine time to consider if there are better methods of determining the wishes of an electorate than our system of plurality voting. Emily Riehl, an assistant math professor at Johns Hopkins University, will examine how various algorithms can have an impact on the way federal, state and local elections play out — and help ensure that the winner reflects voter intent. “What she’s going to do is explore: What if a mathematician did try to make the voting process fairer? How would past elections have turned out differently?” Bohl says. “It’s a great example of how mathematicians are always thinking about different aspects of our lives.

Math really is behind everything in the world.”

The Physics of Football 10:15-10:40 a.m.

Football Sunday, the Redskins are up by six, the other team is threatening — and you’re probably not thinking about physics. Yet each collision, each smack you hear when Player One downs Player Two, can be explained by Newton’s third law

of motion. “All the energy that’s released in those collisions has to go somewhere — so where does it go?” Bohl says. Former Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel, who’s a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will reveal the answer. “Part of the fun is that the person sharing this talk is not your high school physics teacher,” Bohl says, promising an engaging conversation featuring footage from the field. Urschel, who retired from pro football in 2017 at age 26, will also present a session on the geometry of chess.

Giant floor mazes challenge youngsters at the National Math Festival.

A Fine Art of Problem Solving: How Mathematicians Use Braids to Save the Day, One Ribbon at a Time 12:45-1:30 p.m.; 3:15-4 p.m.

Nancy Scherich turns math into dance. The lifelong performer, who’s a graduate student at the University of California at Santa Barbara, studies braid theory; to a mathematician, a braid is a diagram of tangled strands, and there are real-world applications in statistical mechanics, chemistry and biology.

In 2017, Scherich won the Dance Your Ph.D. contest hosted by

Science magazine and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. For her winning entry, she used aerial silk acrobatics and fluorescent hula hoops to help make braid theory less abstract. “At the festival, in addition to her talk, she’ll lead a math Maypole activity,” Bohl says. “So think old English May Day, and many people standing in a circle around a pole holding the ends of ribbons” that they’ll weave together into a pattern.

The activity will help explain how and why braids are an important mathematical concept.

Math and Your Love Life 10:15-11 a.m.; 12:45-1:30 p.m.

Annie Raymond, an assistant professor in the department of mathematics and statistics at the University of Massachusetts, takes the romance of numbers literally.

There’s a classic math algorithm called the stable marriage problem that tackles the question: If all the girls rank their favorite boys in order, and all the boys rank their favorite girls in order, is there a way to pair everyone off so that no two people would be happier together than with their assigned partners? In a

hypothetical 1800s world, where a couple was considered to be a man and a woman, the answer was yes.

“But fast-forward to 2019, and we’ve got gender fluidity and are past the realm of heteronormativity,” Bohl says. “Things get complicated fast when you start introducing all of today’s real-world variables into how people pair up with each other.”

Raymond will explain whether math is still a viable matchmaker — or if we’ll need to keep swiping.

Math and the Movies 10:15-11 a.m.; 12:45-1:30 p.m.

You know those wow-worthy effects in animated movies, like the swirling snow in “Frozen” or the magical ocean in “Moana”?

They’re the work of math wizards.

“It’s basically, how do we replicate or simulate the real world via computers?” Bohl says, describing the scientific computing Joseph Teran does for Walt Disney Animation Studios. Teran, a professor of applied mathematics at UCLA, will explain why we need math to create realistic animations.

He’ll share a snowy scene from “Frozen,” for example, that involves more than 7 million discrete particles (and also, presumably, clarify what exactly a discrete particle is).

EXHIBITS

‘More Is More: Multiples’ The word “exclusive” has an alluring appeal in the art world.

But when an art piece is sold in multiple quantities, does this cheapen its meaning and value?

“More Is More: Multiples” explores this idea, displaying pieces that have multiple editions by such female artists as Cindy Sherman, Mickalene Thomas, Barbara Kruger and Jiha Moon. National Museum of Women in the Arts, 1250 New York Ave. NW; Fri. through Sept. 22, $10.

Sat. BARS

Jack Rose’s Kentucky Derby celebration The Kentucky Derby party at Jack Rose has turned into a tradition, with pre-race bourbon flights, juleps and punches. The staff even passes out free sandwiches and Kentucky hot browns to guests.

There’s no cover charge to hang out on the rooftop bar and watch the races, and cocktails run from $8 to $10. Jack Rose Dining Saloon, 2007 18th St. NW; Sat., 3-7 p.m., free admission.

FRIDAY 9:30 Club: The Strumbellas, 7 p.m.

Steve Gunn: There’s a hypnotic, calming character to guitarist Steve Gunn’s music. Take “New Moon,” the first track on Gunn’s latest album, “The Unseen in Between.” It begins with Gunn softly strumming an acoustic guitar before the bass, drums, an electric guitar and his voice slowly join the fray. On “Luciano,” strings swell as Gunn’s voice floats along.

It’s the kind of music that’s easy to get lost in — or to hone in on, especially when he flexes his guitar heroics. See for yourself at Songbyrd Music House on Saturday.

Building from the ground up Netflix’s ‘Knock Down the House’ looks inside four upstart campaigns

Hulu announces Marvel shows, Kidman thriller

NETFLIX

STREAMING Before she unseated a 10-term congressman from the Bronx, before she became the youngest woman ever elected to the House and long before she was the media obsession known simply as AOC, only one camera was trained on Alexandria OcasioCortez — and it belonged to Rachel Lears.

In the earliest moments of “Knock Down the House,” Lears’ documentary about the campaigns of four liberal women, Ocasio-Cortez is shown shoveling ice and mixing martinis at her bartending job, still contemplating whether to make a run for New York’s 14th congressional district. Less than a year later, she’s a national fixation, and Lears’ documentary is streaming on Netflix, which bought the film for $10 million out of Sundance — the most ever paid for a nonfiction feature.

When Lears conceived the project alongside her producing partner and editor, Robin Blotnick, she couldn’t have imagined that she would capture lightning in a bottle. There was no reasonable expectation that Ocasio-Cortez or the other three candidates would win, but perhaps Lears’ film acted as a seismograph, feeling the tremors of a larger political earthquake to come.

“We wanted to follow the transformations of regular people into

“Knock Down the House” follows the campaigns of four female candidates, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

viable candidates for federal office,” Lears says. “We thought the idea of recruiting and training ordinary working people with extraordinary records of integrity and service in their communities — building a new path to Congress for them — would be really interesting to witness.”

Lears and Blotnick settled on Ocasio-Cortez early, as much for her proximity as her charisma: As New York-based filmmakers working on a shoestring budget, it helped to have a candidate in their backyard. The other three were winnowed down from dozens of potential subjects, as the filmmakers ultimately seized on a common denominator.

“By the end of 2017,” Lears says, “the story of women

running for office in 2018 had become a big national story. I had been leaning toward focusing on Lears women for quite a while but hadn’t really firmed up that decision until it became clear that was really a phenomenon.”

In addition to Ocasio-Cortez, “Knock Down the House” follows primary challenges from West Virginia spitfire Paula Jean Swearengin, Nevada candidate Amy Vilela and St. Louis nurse Cori Bush.

Of the candidates in “Knock Down the House,” which hit Netflix on Wednesday, only OcasioCortez actually won her primary — the others lost by double-digit

margins, as perhaps could be expected from first-timers with little name recognition and major budgetary disadvantages.

Ocasio-Cortez’s victory proved both a boon and a challenge to Lears in shaping the film, too: She scooped the entire press on one of the year’s biggest political stories, but shifting the focus to one subject threatened to give short shrift to the other three.

“It was always very important to us to include the stories of defeat, as well as victory,” Lears says. “This is a film about a movement, and about what it takes to build this new pathway that allows ordinary people access to the halls of power. That does not happen with one victory.”

‘Empire’ moving on without Smollett

Fox Entertainment said Tuesday that Jussie Smollett will not return to “Empire” next season in the wake of allegations by Chicago officials that the actor lied about a racially motivated attack. The network announced earlier in the day that the drama had been renewed for Season 6. A Smollett representative released a statement suggesting a hope that the actor, who was removed from the final two episodes of Season 5, may eventually return. (AP)

Deadline: Jaden Smith to play Kanye West in Showtime series “Omniverse”

HBO acquires documentary about soccer star Diego Maradona

STREAMING Hulu on Wednesday announced a slate of new shows, including two live-action Marvel programs and a series starring Nicole Kidman.

The flurry of activity comes as Walt Disney Co. has emerged as the majority owner of the Hulu streaming service, after the media giant purchased the entertainment assets of 21st Century Fox for $71 billion.

At an upfront presentation Wednesday in New York, Hulu provided a glimpse into what its content will look like after Disney’s expanded ownership.

Hulu said it will debut two liveaction series, based on Marvel properties Ghost Rider and Helstrom, in 2020. The streaming service also will have a series based on “Big Little Lies” author Liane Moriarty’s latest book, “Nine Perfect Strangers.” Kidman will star and David E. Kelly will serve as a co-showrunner, in a reunion from HBO’s adaptation of “Big Little Lies.”

Hulu said it is bringing more food-centric content to its platform in a partnership with Vox Media Studios, chef David Chang’s Majordomo Media and Chrissy Teigen’s production company Suit & Thai Productions. The platform also ordered a limited series starring Kate McKinnon as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, and said it is renewing comedy series “Ramy” and “PEN15” for second seasons.

@RYANPMAT, tweeting about news that Instagram is testing out

hiding like counts from users in an effort to offset the obsessive tracking of likes. The announcement inspired jokes that social media influencers who rely on such data would be lost, but many people cheered the idea. The beta test, which is being rolled out in Canada this week, aims to put the focus on the actual content of posts.

A similar test is ongoing at Twitter, where numbers of likes and retweets are hidden from some users.

“I grab the person’s shoulder — stopping their momentum. ... Then start a full-fledged conversation.

Works every time.” @RASHA_TALKHANI, relaying a tactic for avoiding hugs after fellow Twitter user @Luvvie wondered how non-huggers were supposed to decline the gesture without seeming rude. @Luvvie’s inquiry garnered support and strategies — both serious and hilarious — from many. @PinkedOff wrote, “Back away saying, ‘Sorry, leprosy.’ “

BIRTHDAYS

Rich people live dream of being normal

How dare Sephora bother SZA?

Kylie Jenner threw Travis Scott a gas station-themed 28th birthday party on Tuesday night, Us Weekly reported. Jenner, 21, shared video of the party on her Instagram story, showing off a display of “Travis Scott”-branded paper towels. Other items, such as motor oil, were branded “Cactus Jack,” after Scott’s nickname. The party also featured a Hennessy slush machine and a sliding glass door refrigerator full of Scott’s merchandise. Jenner also shared video of both herself and Scott getting tattoos on their upper arms. It was unclear whether or not the couple chose the same design. The makeup mogul and rapper are parents to daughter Stormi. (EXPRESS)

ILLNESS

Schroder arrested twice on domestic violence charges

Alex shares the reality of cancer treatment

Richard “Ricky” Schroder was arrested Wednesday morning in Topanga, Calif., on suspicion of domestic abuse, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The “NYPD Blue” and “Silver Spoons” actor was also arrested last month on April 2 for the same charges. Both cases involved the same female victim.

“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek says his cancer indicators have gone down. “My oncologist says I’m doing well, even though I don’t always feel it,” Trebek said Wednesday on “Good Morning America,” joking that he has discovered he is “a big wuss.”

Trebek, 78, who was diagnosed this year with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, explained that his chemotherapy treatments have brought on surges of “deep, deep sadness.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SZA tweeted on Tuesday that a Sephora employee in Calabasas, Calif., suspected that she was stealing and called security on the singer. “We had a long talk. You have a blessed day Sandy,” SZA tweeted, nicknaming the woman “Sandy.” SZA must have been shopping Rihanna’s cosmetics line because she also tweeted: “Can a b---- cop her Fenty in peace er whut.”

Complex noted that SZA actually used to work at Sephora. (EXPRESS)

The two were first linked romantically in March 2017, just before Hunter’s divorce from Kathleen Biden was finalized. Joe Biden announced last week that he is seeking the 2020 Democratic nomination for president. (EXPRESS)
