Defense attorney’s best argument: ‘It’s not arson’
A customer shopping in the lawn and gardening department of a North Carolina home improvement store Monday was bit by a venomous copperhead snake in one of the trees, authorities said. The customer, whose name was not released, was taken to a local hospital. The East Lincoln fire department warned in a Facebook post that people should be careful when shopping for trees, noting that snakes could be found in any store that sells them. (AP)
Police say four central Pennsylvania volunteer firefighters called in five false alarms earlier this year because they enjoyed the thrill of riding in fire trucks. The Logan Township Volunteer Fire Department has suspended the men and police have charged them with making the false alarms.

After 18 hours of pull-ups, Shapiro stopped, having put his chin above the bar 7,306 times. His family set up three video cameras to continuously record Shapiro’s attempt, while 15 judges observed his efforts and completed paperwork to

certify the achievement for the Guinness World Records books. Shapiro not only completed his goal but also raised $4,000 for the American Cancer Society. So how did Shapiro do it? He credits his success to “American Ninja Warrior,” the “Star Wars” movies, sushi and pineapple. Shapiro said he became interested in fitness after watching the show and has a long-term goal of auditioning to compete on it. (At 17, he has to wait four more years until he can go on “American Ninja Warrior,” which he said he considers “the biggest challenge out there.”) Shapiro’s training to set the world records was extensive. To test his endurance, he performed 10 pull-ups a minute for six hours straight and watched the “Star Wars” movies to help pass the time. For snacks, he ate boxes of sushi and half-pound cartons of pineapple. Setting the record became an obsession. “It was blood, sweat and hours and hours and hours of hard work,” Shapiro said. T.

FAIRFAX COUNTY Andrew Shapiro’s quest to set a Guinness World Record began seven months ago, with “American Ninja Warrior” and his father’s cancer diagnosis. Shapiro, a fan of the obstacle course challenge television show, decided he wanted to dedicate himself to getting into peak physical condition. Inspired by his father’s five-year battle against colon cancer, the 17-yearold practiced incessant pull-ups with the goal of setting three world records during a Relay for Life event in Fairfax County. On Saturday at 8 a.m., he started his pull-up marathon. Within six hours, the Langley High School junior had completed 3,515 pull-ups — a new world record. By 12 hours, he had finished 5,742 pull-ups — another world record. Then he set his sights on a final record — the most pullups performed in 24 hours: 6,800

Budget clash intensifies House Republicans move to block D.C.’s bid to assert autonomy over local spending
expressline
Vote on D.C. homeless plan gets heated
greatly complicates city spending and affects everything from the city’s bond ratings to its ability to open schools on time each fall. If the District defies Congress and unilaterally implements its budget, city employees could be prosecuted for spending money that has not been appropriated by Congress, Meadows said. At a press conference, D.C. Council chairman Phil Mendelson called the threats “absurd’ and held out his hands in mock arrest. “Sure, put me in handcuffs, while I’m holding the court decision,” Mendelson said, referring to an April ruling by a D.C. Superior Court judge that backed the District’s position. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has been campaigning to make the District the 51st state, said the sole purpose of Meadows’ bill is “to strike down the will of our local council, our legislators and, more importantly, the will of D.C. residents.”
THE DISTRICT The D.C. Council gave preliminary approval on Tuesday to overhaul Mayor Muriel Bowser’s plan to create a network of shelters for homeless families, with chairman Phil Mendelson accusing the Bowser administration of “obfuscation and misinformation” surrounding the issue. The council agreed with Bowser that it wants to close the troubled D.C. General shelter by 2018 and replace it with smaller sites around the city. But it wants to build those shelters on public or purchased property, rejecting Bowser’s more expensive plan to lease private land. Mendelson said negotiations were hampered by the mayor’s inability to work with legislators, and said her office provided incomplete or faulty rationales when explaining why her preferred private sites were better than less expensive public property. “There has been a lot of misinformation and obstruction,” said Mendelson at a Tuesday meeting of the council. Moments after an initial vote, Bowser let loose on Mendelson in a hallway of the Wilson building, according to a WAMU reporter who heard the exchange. “You’re a f--cking liar! You know it can’t close in [2018]!” the mayor yelled at the chairman. Mendelson said his approach would cost $165 million less than Bowser’s plan. FENIT NIRAPPIL

RICKY CARIOTI (THE WASHINGTON POST)
THE DISTRICT A congressional committee on Tuesday nullified the results of a ballot measure passed by District voters and then declared that D.C. can never spend local tax dollars without congressional approval. Republicans on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee passed a bill to block the city from enacting a measure to allow the city to spend its own tax dollars without first getting approval from Congress. The measure had been endorsed by 80 percent of voters in a 2013 special election, confirmed by a court and endorsed by President Barack Obama. But House Republicans said Tuesday that it violated the Constitution. With support from House Speaker Paul Ryan, RWisc., the bill could go to the full House as early as next week. It’s unclear if it would be approved in the more closely divided Senate. The 22 to 14 party line vote marked a new level of animosity between Republicans on Capitol Hill and D.C.’s mostly Democratic leaders, who have been agitating for full statehood and voting representation in Congress. Brian Netter, a constitutional expert and attorney who represented the District in defending the ballot measure, called the committee’s vote “a huge, dramatic potential compression of the District’s rights.” The last time Congress seriously impacted city affairs was in 1995, when it installed a financial control board during a bankruptcy, he said. “Over the past 20 years, the trajectory has clearly been to give the District more rights of autonomy, not

less,” he said. In a split-screen moment, as House lawmakers were voting on Tuesday, the D.C. Council was proceeding with the very act that Congress was trying to prevent: approving a $13 billion budget that it planned to implement, unless halted by a judge or an act of Congress. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the subcommittee with oversight of the District — and the author of the bill — cited the Constitution, which gives Congress “supreme authority” over the District. “It really comes back to the constitutional intent of our Founding Fathers,” Meadows said. “Whether you agree with local control or not, it doesn’t allow a local municipality to usurp the Constitution.” But Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va., said the discussion of history was a smokescreen. “This is about raw, political power being imposed on American citizens who do not have

The District’s population of roughly 700,000 is larger than Vermont or Wyoming and its residents pay more in federal taxes than their counterparts in 22 states. But the District remains a federal territory with no voting representation in Congress and it must submit its annual spending plan to Congress like a federal agency, even though the bulk of its finances come from local taxes.

D.C. gun law struck down THE DISTRICT A federal judge has ruled that a key provision of the District’s new gun law likely is unconstitutional, ordering D.C. police to stop requiring individuals to show “good reason” to obtain a permit to carry a firearm on the streets of the nation’s capital. In imposing a preliminary injunction pending further litigation, U.S. District Judge Richard
J. Leon reignited a battle over the Second Amendment in D.C. and its courts, where three different judges have now weighed in with varying conclusions. “The enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table,” Leon wrote in a 46page opinion, quoting a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2008 in another District case that established a constitutional right to keep firearms in one’s home. Leon said that the right applies both inside and outside the home. “The District’s understandable,
but overzealous, desire to restrict the right to carry in public a firearm for self-defense to the smallest possible number of lawabiding, responsible citizens is exactly the type of policy choice the Justices had in mind,” he wrote. The city can appeal Tuesday’s ruling and may also ask Leon to put on hold his ruling while it appeals. Robert P. Marus, a spokesman for the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, which has been defending the city’s law, said the office is reviewing the ruling.

nation+world House Republicans kill measure changing Selective Service rules MILITARY House Republicans pulled a legislative sleight of hand Tuesday and stripped a provision from the annual defense policy bill that would have required young women to sign up for a military draft, following the Pentagon’s decision late last year to remove gender restrictions from combat roles. The decision triggered an
VIENNA
outcry from Democrats, who cast the move as a GOP attempt to avoid a contentious vote on equality for women. But GOP lawmakers argued more study is required before reversing the longstanding prohibition on including women in the Selective Service. They also questioned whether the Selective Service, which needs $23 million annually to operate, should be abolished altogether. The Senate defense bill does include a version of the provision. So if the draft requirement makes it through the full Senate,
then the issue will have to be settled by a House-Senate conference committee. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said it would be appropriate for women to register for the draft “just like men do.” But Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Rules Committee, said he is “adamantly opposed to coercing America’s daughters to sign up for the Selective Service at 18 years of age.” Conservatives see such a mandate as another step toward blurring gender lines.

Military leaders maintain the all-volunteer force is working and do not want a return to conscription. The U.S. has not had a military draft since 1973, in the waning years of the Vietnam War era. Still, the registration requirement remains for young men. “We have a choice to make: Either we continue with Selective Service and have women be a part of it or we abolish it altogether. I’m for abolishing it altogether,” Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., a member of the Armed Services Committee, said. RICHARD LARDNER (AP)

nation+world MILITARY A new commander-in-chief will be in charge only a few weeks when Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is court-martialed in February, potentially giving the proceedings a higher profile. The judge, Col. Jeffrey Nance, on Tuesday delayed the trial date from August to resolve any disputes over classified documents. Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, has been criticized for supporting the Taliban prisoner swap that brought Bergdahl home in 2014 after five years in captivity.
Meanwhile, Bergdahl’s defense team says Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has already damaged the soldier’s chances for a fair trial by calling him a “dirty, rotten traitor” who “should have been executed.” Lawyers will have to try to discern whether the Army judge or jury members deciding Bergdahl’s fate have taken Trump’s comments to heart, said Eric Carpenter, a former Army lawyer who teaches at Florida International University College of Law. “If Trump is elected, it doesn’t

A new era of segregation EDUCATION Poor, black and Hispanic children are becoming isolated from their white, affluent peers in the nation’s public schools, according to data showing that the number of high-poverty schools serving primarily black and brown students more than doubled between 2001 and 2014. The data was released by the Government Accountability Office on Tuesday, 62 years to the day after the Supreme Court decided that segregated schools are “inherently unequal” and therefore unconstitutional. That landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education began the dismantling of the dual school systems — one for white kids, one for black students — that characterized so many of the nation’s communities. It also became a touchstone for the ideal of public education as a great equalizer, an American birthright meant to give every child a fair shot at success. But that ideal appears to be unraveling.

— where more than 75 percent of children receive free or reducedprice lunch and more than 75 percent are black or Hispanic — climbed from 9 percent to 16 percent of schools between 2001 and 2014. The number of the most intensively segregated schools — with more than 90 percent of low-income students and students of color — more than doubled over that period. The problem is not just that students are more isolated, the GAO said, but that minority students who are concentrated in

high-poverty schools don’t have the same access to opportunities as students in other schools. High-poverty, majority-black and Hispanic schools were less likely to offer a full range of math and science courses than other schools, for example, and more likely to use expulsion and suspension as disciplinary tools, according to the GAO. The GAO conducted its study during the past two years at the request of Democratic lawmakers including Rep. Bobby Scott, Va., the ranking Democrat on the

House education committee, and Rep. John Conyers, Mich., the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. Scott on Tuesday announced legislation that would make it easier for parents to sue school districts for civil rights violations, saying the GAO report provided evidence of an “overwhelming failure to fulfill the promise of Brown.” “Segregation in public K12 schools isn’t getting better; it’s getting worse, and getting worse quickly, with more than 20 million students of color now attending racially and socioeconomically isolated public schools,” he said in a statement Tuesday, calling on GOP leaders in the House to hold hearings on tackling segregation. The resegregation of schools during the past two decades has for the most part happened quietly, in the shadows of battles over standardized testing and Common Core academic standards. But segregation has returned to the forefront of education policy discussions recently. The persistence of racial divisions was underscored Friday, when a federal judge ordered a Mississippi school district to integrate its middle and high schools, capping a legal battle that had dragged on for decades.

Senate OKs bill to let 9/11 suits vs. Saudi Arabia The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that would allow the families of Sept. 11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia over its alleged support for terrorism, despite stiff opposition from the White House. It’s the second time the Senate has passed a version of the bill, which its co-authors — Sens. John Cornyn, R-Tex., and Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. — argue is important to clarify when courts should waive foreign officials’ claims to immunity in cases involving terrorist acts on U.S. soil. But some politicians worry it could harm the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia and establish a precedent that could come back to bite American officials serving overseas. Saudi leaders have denied that the government played any role in the attacks and last month threatened to sell off U.S. investments if the legislation passes. The bill now goes to the House, where Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., has not indicated any support for the proposal. The biggest challenge will come from the White House, which hinted last month that President Barack Obama would veto it over concerns about sovereign immunity. Recent changes to the legislation “were not sufficient to prevent the longer-term unintended consequences that we are concerned about,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. KAROUN DEMIRJIAN

Warriors will be fine
Bonds: After walks, Harper needs to run BASEBALL When pitchers were intentionally walking Barry Bonds more than anyone else in baseball history, his father had a simple message for him. “It’s your fault,” Bobby Bonds told his son. “You didn’t have to be this good.” That’s what Barry Bonds thinks when he sees Bryce Harper getting so many free passes to first. But he also believes the Nationals outfielder and reigning NL MVP needs to diversify his game if opposing teams are going to take the bat out of his hands. “He’s going to need to learn to steal bases and get to second base and make his teammates’ job easier,” Bonds recently told The Associated Press. The Chicago Cubs walked Harper 15 times during a fourgame series earlier this month,
including four times intentionally, and he scored only three runs. Bonds, baseball’s intentional walk king, said too much was being made of Ryan Zimmerman’s struggles batting behind Harper as the Cubs swept the Nationals. Teammates had bad series hitting behind Bonds, too. But Bonds remembers what he said to his children during his playing days. “My kids used to tell me, ‘Daddy, I’m sorry they walk you all the time,’ ” said Bonds, who led baseball in intentional walks 12 times and tops the alltime list with 688. “I said, ‘Yeah, but my job’s now to steal.’ I could run then, so I had to steal bases and my job’s to score runs and keep the pressure on the team regardless of what happened. But I had a different game than him.” Bonds stole 514 bases during his 22-year major league career. Harper had 43 in his career entering Tuesday, and it’s an element that Bonds says would make the 23-year-old a five-tool player. After the final game of the

Former slugger says Nats star should learn to steal more bases
The defending NBA champs are down 1-0 to the Thunder in the West finals, but the Warriors shouldn’t panic. Here are a few key factors from Game 1 that won’t happen again this series.
3-point difference The Warriors poor 3-point shooting (11-for-30) wasn’t as surprising as how much they struggled to defend the 3-point line, allowing the Thunder to go 8-for-17.
Bryce Harper entered Tuesday with an MLB-most 41 walks this season.
walk-this-way series against the Cubs, Harper said he was walked a lot during high school and that he can’t get frustrated if the treatment continues. “You’re getting on base, and that’s what your team asks you to do,” said Harper, who entered Tuesday with an MLB-most 41 walks. “If I can get on base every time I get up there, I’m doing it the right way.” Dusty Baker is the common thread between the two superstars, as he managed the San Francisco Giants during Bonds’ heyday and is now managing Harper with the Nationals. Baker said the onus is on Harper’s teammates to make opponents pay for all the walks.
When Bonds was playing, Baker didn’t have to give much advice to the slugger, who could lean on his father and godfather Willie Mays. “I knew how to deal with it,” said Bonds, now the hitting coach for the Miami Marlins. “I had my dad and Willie. I had enough pressure with those two that I didn’t need to add more with Dusty.” Bonds became baseball’s home run king with 762 despite walking a major league-leading 2,558 times. Bonds estimates that he lost four or five years of at-bats from walks. Still, if he were pitching to Harper, he wouldn’t give him much to hit. “He’s going to have to walk if it’s the game on the line.” STEPHEN WHYNO (AP)
2 Adams on the line Steven Adams had nine free-throw attempts, while only one Warriors player had more than two. The Thunder nearly doubled Golden State’s free-throw attempts (32-17).
1 No-show in the fourth In the fourth quarter, Stephen Curry was 1-for-6 and the Thunder, who have struggled to close out games, held Golden State to a postseason-low 14 points.
BASEBALL
With MLB’s worst record, Braves fire Gonzalez
The Atlanta Braves on Tuesday fired manager Fredi Gonzalez, who couldn’t survive the worst record in the majors. This was his sixth season with the Braves, who are in the midst of a dismal stretch: They entered Tuesday having lost eight of 10 and owned baseball’s worst record at 9-28 — 13 ½ games out of first place in the NL East. Brian Snitker, who has been manager of the Braves’ Triple-A Gwinnett team, will be the interim manager.

Redskins cut WR Roberts
MLB handed Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor an eightgame suspension for punching the Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista during a game Sunday, according to multiple reports. Bautista — who slid hard into second base to break up a double play, leading to the fight — received a one-game ban. (EXPRESS)
The Redskins released wide receiver Andre Roberts after two disappointing seasons. Tuesday’s move wasn’t a surprise because of Roberts’ inconsistent play and the drafting of TCU’s Josh Doctson in the first round, and it will save Washington roughly $4 million against the salary cap. In two years, Roberts had 47 catches for 588 yards and two TDs. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Raptors snubbed in poll Making their first appearance in the East finals, the Raptors are feeling a little left out after they were slighted in an online poll before Tuesday’s Game 1 against the Cavaliers. CBSSports.com ran a survey asking, “Who will win the NBA title?” The options: Warriors, Thunder, Cavaliers, Other. The snub led to a backlash from Toronto fans, who responded on Twitter with the hashtag #WeTheOther. (AP)
“It’s fun to have this opportunity to come back, show what we’re made of.” NBA MVP STEPHEN CURRY, after
the Warriors lost Game 1 of the Western Conference finals at home to the Thunder on Monday night. Curry had 26 points and a playoff career-high 10 rebounds, but the Warriors’ 42 second-half points and 14 in the fourth both were lows for this postseason. Game 2 is tonight (9, TNT) at Oracle Arena.

STAFF SHAKE-UP
Definitely NSFVegans together. It doesn’t need to be the most gorgeous patty in the world, but it’s going to taste really good.
COOKBOOKS Mathew Ramsey is trying to eat fewer burgers these days. “I’m worried about gout,” says the D.C.-based chef, 36. He probably should be, considering that the self-described “burger pervert” perfected 35 of the sandwiches for his new cook- Ramsey book, “PornBurger: Hot Buns and Juicy Beefcakes.” Ramsey will lead a talk and tasting tonight at Third Floor in an event presented by Upshur Street Books.
We have to talk about the puns you used to name the burgers. What’s your favorite one? I apologize for those. The Bill U Murray Me has been one of my favorites from the beginning. Originally I had one that was called the Spamela Anderson, but then I realized she’s vegan. So my friend came up with Hawaiian Five “O” Face. I was kind of hoping my editor would rein me in a little bit with those, but unfortunately for everyone, they made it in.
What is it about burgers that turns you on? A good burger leaves you wanting a cigarette. … There’s so much sensuality that goes on between the meat and the cheese and the mayo. It’s this perfect medium that you can explode and reconstruct in a billion different ways. What’s the biggest mistake people make with their burgers? The easiest way to diminish a burger is to overwork the meat. It’s such a simple thing but it plays a really important role in the actual texture and juiciness of the burger. Very often it’s just about very loosely handling it. You don’t need to squeeze it
You love processed food as much as fresh ingredients. How do you know when junk food is something you can work with? I have an infatuation with White Castle cheeseburgers. For me, that’s just sentimentality, [the memory of] having these little sliders with my dad. Is it good for me? No. But I still eat them all the time when I’m cooking for other people, like if I don’t have time to cook for myself. Creamed corn is something I used to eat straight out of the can. But then I realized that creamed corn doesn’t actually come from a can — it’s something you can make yourself way, way, way better. You also give a lot of shoutouts to local spots like Gordy’s Pickle Jar and Meats & Foods. What is it

There’s so many makers and food entrepreneurs and restaurants popping up. It’s this Wild West of activity in D.C. right now. LORI McCUE (EXPRESS)

Trevor Frye, the beverage director of Jack Rose Dining Saloon and co-founder of its celebrated basement cocktail lounge, Dram & Grain, is leaving the establishment to launch a project of his own in Adams Morgan. A lease is still being ironed out. The bar, which Frye hopes to have up and running by early next year, will be called Marble Alley. Frye says his concept is perfect for Adams Morgan, a neighborhood he cherishes. “I wanted to offer an elevated experience of what Adams Morgan really is without losing its soul,” he says. “I want to have the people that live in this neighborhood come to my bar.” Marble Alley will focus on creating a casual, comfortable experience rather than “craft cocktails,” a term Frye has begun to loathe. “Making cocktails is such a small part of bartending,” he says.

Coming in 2017: ‘El Chapo’ and chill
A bigger Ball: D.C. comedy festival to add more laughs on July 8. Nancherla will also join Notaro on the bill for the festival’s opening-night show at the Lincoln Theatre on Oct. 27. Nancherla was a local opener at the first festival in 2009 and returned home as a national act in 2014. (The festival took a hiatus from 2010 to 2012.) “Her and Tig met at the festival in 2009,” Legetic says. “It seems like a nice full circle for the label to start like that because Aparna has done the whole thing. The festival served as the initial recruiting ground for what happened here, so it’s a good precedent for the future” of the label. A second release is in the works, she adds. The rest of the Bentzen Ball’s initial Lincoln Theatre lineup includes comedy cabaret star Bridget Everett on Oct. 28 and the science-y podcast “Stuff You Should Know” on Oct. 29. Two more Lincoln shows will be added in the coming months. Tickets for those three shows, which will offer general admission seating, go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketfly. If you want to get a jump on tickets, you can order one of a limited number of all-access passes, which grant admission to all five Lincoln shows for $100 at bentzenball2016.eventbrite.

The Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival will return to Washington for the fourth straight year from Oct. 27 to 30, organizers Brightest Young Things will announce today. If you can’t wait till fall, there are two ways you can get your fix of the Tig Notaro-curated festival a little earlier this year. From June 22 to 25, the festival will stage the Bentzen Ball Podcast Studio, a curated series of live podcast recordings, at the Kennedy Center as part of the venue’s first District of Comedy Festival. In July, Notaro and the festival will release the first album on Bentzen Ball Records, an imprint of the comedian’s longtime record label, Secretly Canadian. “Having the imprint is just a natural extension of making the Bentzen Ball brand live beyond D.C. and to raise awareness of the festival itself,” BYT founder Svetlana Legetic says. “Hopefully, it becomes a comedy brand, not just four days once a year.” The label’s first record comes from Northern Virginia native Aparna Nancherla, whose live album “Just Putting It Out There” will be released
Univision is teaming up with Netflix to produce “El Chapo,” a drama series based on the life of one of the world’s most notorious criminals. It will air on Univision sister network UniMas in 2017, after which it will be available to Netflix subscribers. Univision also said it will partner with Netflix to bring the 1980s Colombian drug kingpin drama “Narcos” to broadcast television. It will be the first time original Netflix series have aired on broadcast networks in the U.S., Univision said. (AP)
Tig Notaro is headlining the Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival’s opening night.
com starting today at 9 a.m. Legetic says the DC Improv, the Howard Theatre, the Kennedy Center and the new Drafthouse Comedy venue will also host shows during the festival, which happens to fall just before Halloween and Election Day. “We feel that D.C. in that Halloween pre-election time is a very ripe time for comedy,” Legetic says, adding that attendees can “expect fun thematic shows around both of those things.” In the meantime, fans can visit the Bentzen Ball Podcast Studio in June, which will transform the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Gallery into a 200ish-capacity comedy club for four days. The full podcast lineup won’t be announced
until June 1, but Legetic says there will be six or seven podcasts, including the horror comedy show “Last Podcast on the Left,” the always goofy “Todd Glass Show,” the political role-playing podcast “Hard Nation” and the talk show “You, Me, Them, Everybody,” hosted by BYT’s Brandon Wetherbee. Like the festival itself, the label and the podcast studio are two more ways for Notaro and BYT to achieve the Bentzen Ball’s simple goal. “Tig’s motivation behind everything is an opportunity to spotlight quality comedy,” Legetic says.

The 1980s toy and greeting-card character will get her own 40-episode animated series with global distribution, according to an agreement announced Tuesday.

On ABC, Sutherland becomes president In the new fall ABC drama “Designated Survivor,” Kiefer Sutherland will play a low-level Cabinet member who suddenly becomes president. Although the show is billed as a thriller, the fictional president will presumably face less action than Jack Bauer, Sutherland’s character in Fox’s “24.” ABC’s schedule has nine new series, including a drama from the prolific creator Shonda Rhimes and a comedy starring Minnie Driver as a mom fighting on behalf of a special-needs child. The network will also air a remake of the movie “Dirty Dancing.” (AP) COURTS

The suit filed Monday in Los Angeles by Chloe Goins contends Hefner knew or should have known that Cosby had drugged and sexually abused women and enabled his behavior. Goins, 26, claims Cosby spiked her drink when she attended a party sometime in 2008 and then assaulted her in a bedroom. (AP)

blog log “Rowling’s message is one her millennial fanss could stand to hear.” JOANNA ROBINSON, at vanityfair.com, applauds British author J.K. Rowling’s speech at Monday’s PEN Literary Gala in New York, k, where she called Donald Trump “offensive and bigoted” while defending ing his right to free speech. Rowling, who previously called the presumptive mptive GOP nominee worse than her evil “Harry Potter” character Voldemort, demort, said he was welcome to visit her country — notwithstanding a petition to ban Trump entry to the U.K. that got more than half a million n signatures last year. “His freedom to speak protects my freedom to calll him a bigot. His freedom guarantees mine,” she said. Millennials need to hear that view, Robinson writes, pointing to a Pew finding that 40 percent of millennials think censorship of offensive speech about minorities orities is OK.
“Word of advice, people often claim to know more than they really do because they enjoy status of being perceived as ‘in the know.’ “ @MARCORUBIO, in a multi-tweet rant Monday night, lashing out at The Washington Post for a story saying he won’t be Donald Trump’s runnng mate. Citing unnamed sources, the story described the erstwhile GOP presidential candidate as unsure of his political future.

“There is a solution: ... Pay more for your stupid square burger.” ETHAN CHIEL, at fusion.net, responds to the news that Wendy’s plans
to replace cashiers with self-service kiosks in some stores to offset higher labor costs. The move comes as states including New York and California have approved minimum-wage increases up to $15 an hour. Chiel writes that those who lament low-wage workers being laid off due to automation should be willing to pay more for their fast food.
