The race will be tight since they’re all such good dogs. Even the goat.

Marie Kondo might approve, but Mr. Rogers definitely wouldn’t

The home of a man in Marlborough, Mass., was broken into, The Boston Globe reported Thursday. But the intruders didn’t take anything — they just cleaned his house. Nate Roman said that when he got home from work, the beds were made, the rugs were vacuumed and origami roses had been folded into the bathroom toilet paper. “It’s funny now, but didn’t feel funny at the time,” he said. “I kept the toilet paper roses as souvenirs.” (EXPRESS)

Crews in Houston removed a big-screen TV that had somehow ended up in a storm drain, KTRK-TV reported Wednesday.

With hurricane season nearing, authorities urged locals to check their storm drains — and not dump trash into them. (EXPRESS)

page three Farms fuel food literacy in SE THE DISTRICT For D.C. residents living in Wards 7 and 8, getting healthy produce from the only three grocery stores serving the area can be a struggle. But a local nonprofit says that’s just half the battle. “It’s one thing to get healthy produce,” said Scott Kratz, vice president of Building Bridges Across the River. “It’s another thing to know what to do with it.” Building Bridges Across the River, which provides community programming in Wards 7 and 8, is looking to solve that problem. Last Friday, the local nonprofit launched new food literacy programs, including cooking and farming workshops, made possible by a $115,000 grant from Seeds of Change, a branch of Mars, Inc. Kratz said he wants people at the workshops to learn new recipes and the proper ways to store produce to keep it fresh. BBAR runs seven urban farms in Southeast, D.C., including THEARC Farm in Ward 8, which

Building Bridges Across the River has a plot at the National Children’s Center.

is the main source for its community-supported agriculture program that allows local residents to pay $10 for a fresh bag of vegetables that are grown weekly on the farms. According to Kratz, the program — which is in its third year — has 70 participants, mostly from Ward 8. The grant money allows BBAR to begin offering workshops at its farms on a variety of topics, including canning, herbalism, composting and raised garden bed repairs.

“I know the difference between what’s fresh, what’s healthy, what’s right and how to cook it.” TATIANA BOGANS, the first intern for Building Bridges Across the River, who helps manage BBAR’s farms. She said having local farms can change people’s perspective on healthy eating.

Kratz said residents are most excited to start honey harvests. The honey comes from BBAR’s collection of five bee hives that are located across the urban farms. It is one of the largest bee collections east of the Anacostia River. Kratz said they’re expecting to hold a honey harvest in July. “The bees are thriving,” he said, adding that three queens were recently born. Tatiana Bogans, a 22-year-old Ward 7 resident and BBAR’s first intern, believes that having programs like this can change people’s outlook on healthy eating. Her paid position to manage the farms was also made possible through the grant. She hopes to see even more outreach and advertising to draw people to the farms. “I brought my little sister and older sister,” she said. “They were pretty thrilled about it. They’ve never been around stuff like this.” And beyond food literacy, Bogans said the farm serves another important purpose. “I feel more connected,” she said of being at the farm. “You’re inside the city, but you feel like you’re outside the city. It’s pretty peaceful.” CHELSEA CIRRUZZO

Evans to step down as Metro board chairman

D.C. Council member won’t seek re-election amid ethics probes

Healthy dog’s euthanization spurs anger BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION Jack Evans said Thursday he will not seek re-election as Metro board chair when his term ends June 30, and the head of the board’s ethics committee said it has closed an investigation of Evans, but will say no more about it to the public. Evans made the announcement in passing at a Metro board meeting. He will remain a member of the Metro board, where he represents the District. Evans did not refer to the ethics probe in his initial comments, but said he was leaving the chairman’s job because after more than three years there, “it’s time to rotate [the chairmanship] to a different jurisdiction.” Speaking to reporters later, Evans said his decision had nothing to do with the ethics probe. But board member Clarence C. Crawford, who headed the ethics committee probe of Evans, declined to say whether there was a link between the closure of the investigation and Evans’ decision to not seek re-election. Crawford, who represents Maryland and is the board’s first vice chair, would only say that the matter has been “resolved” and “closed,” and that no further information about it would be made public. Metro has disclosed little

information about the probe, which it opened March 4. Crawford indicated the investigation was triggered by a report in The Washington Post that Evans improperly cited his position as Metro board chairman in an email seeking business for his private legal and consulting work. “We have concluded our investigation,” Crawford said. “We did a thorough review. We took our time. We looked at everything. … We have the ability to close the matter when it is resolved, and that’s what we’ve done.” He declined to say what the investigation found, or whether a condition for closing the probe was Evans’s decision to not seek

re-election. “The matter has been resolved. That’s as far as I’m going to go,” Crawford said. Asked later about Crawford’s comments, Evans said, “This is all internal stuff. We’re not supposed to talk about internal stuff.” A four-member committee was appointed to propose a successor to Evans. Evans has been mired in legal trouble at least since September over questions about how he operated at the crossroads of politics and business. Federal prosecutors are looking at his relations with private legal and consulting clients. ROBERT McCARTNEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Veterinarians and funeral homes in Virginia are rejecting the idea that pets should be buried with their owners after a recent case in which a healthy dog was euthanized so it could lie with its owner. WWBT-TV in Richmond reports workers at one local animal shelter tried to talk the executor of the estate out of the plan. They failed and the Shih Tzu mix named Emma was euthanized and cremated. The dog’s ashes were placed in an urn and given to the estate’s representative. Larry Spiaggi, president of the Virginia Funeral Directors Association, calls the idea abhorrent. “I am licensed by the state of Virginia, so I have a license on the line,” Spiaggi said. “So I cannot do it.” Virginia law generally forbids burying pets with humans.

METRORAIL Patrick Hearn was worrying about the coming weeks as he sat having a beer after work Monday at the Dos Amigos Mexican restaurant near the Braddock Road Metro station. He wasn’t thinking about the corporate fraud cases he prosecutes at the Justice Department, but about how painful it’s going to be to get to and from work during the 107-day shutdown of six Blue and Yellow line stations south of Reagan National Airport for platform reconstruction. He didn’t sound optimistic that his commute will be only a halfhour longer, as Metro predicts. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” he said. A recent poll by The Washington Post found that more riders feel positive about Metro than did a couple of years ago. But as Saturday’s start of the shutdown nears, there’s a sense of dread on Yellow and Blue line trains and around the stations. Years of Metro frustrations will do that. In interviews, some of the estimated 19,000 riders who take Metro from those six stations during a typical morning commute were sorting through an array of travel alternatives — morning local buses, VRE, Amtrak, bicycles, scooters, slug lines, carpools, one of Metro’s five shuttle routes, and even boating to work on a water taxi. During the closure, the transit agency will run three express shuttle routes, going from Franconia-Springfield, Huntington and Landmark Mall directly to the Pentagon Metro station, where

Six stations south of National Airport will close starting Saturday

Braddock Road is one of six Blue and Yellow line Metro stations that will be closed for at least 15 weeks.

“It takes a week for people to adjust … but soon after that, it gets to a rhythm that people can live through.” METRO GM PAUL WIEDEFELD on Wednesday, saying initial shutdown challenges are to be expected

riders can connect to Metrorail. A local shuttle will stop at all Blue Line stations from Franconia-Springfield to National Airport, but will skip Braddock Road. Hearn was planning to take the Yellow Line local shuttle that will stop at stations from Huntington to Crystal City, except for the airport. The shuttles are supposed to come every five minutes, but he worries they will be full by time they get to Braddock Road. He could picture himself standing there with one shuttle after another going by, too full to pick

up more passengers. “Am I going to be waiting there for an hour?” he wondered. The shutdown is expected to run until Sept. 8, but Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld has left open the possibility that bad weather or other surprises could extend it. On a Yellow Line train, a woman named Megan, who was heading home to U Street from her job near the King Street station, was also anxious. She’ll be on a shuttle Tuesday and was unsure what to expect. She hoped it wouldn’t be so bad that biking 11 miles each way all through the hot, humid summer would seem like a better choice. A man named Tom, who’s been a dad for 13 weeks, was on another Yellow Line train headed the other way, toward his home. He was eager to get there. No doubt his wife was eager for him to get home, too. He knows he’ll be getting home later until his baby is almost 30 weeks old, but not how much later. “I guess it’s wait and see,” he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling party secured a resounding win in India’s elections.

India’s Modi captures historic election victory Win expands power of the incumbent PM’s Hindu nationalist party NEW DELHI Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party was headed to a landslide election victory in Thursday’s vote count, while the leader of the main opposition party conceded a personal defeat that signaled the end of an era for modern India’s main political dynasty. Election Commission data on Thursday night showed that Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party had won 92 seats and was leading in 211 other constituencies out of 542 seats in the lower house of

Parliament. Its main rival, the Indian National Congress, had won 25 seats and was leading in 26 others. Modi tweeted, “India wins yet again.” Addressing thousands of party workers celebrating the outcome, Modi urged the world to “recognize India’s democratic power.” He attributed the party’s showing to his pro-poor policies, including free medical insurance and relief for distressed farmers. The election was seen as a referendum on the 68-year-old Modi, whose economic reforms have had mixed results but whose popularity as a social underdog in India’s highly stratified society has endured. Critics have said

his Hindu-first platform risks exacerbating social tensions in the country of 1.3 billion people. On the campaign trail, Modi presented himself as a self-made man who could unleash India’s economic potential, and labeled Congress party president Rahul Gandhi, the scion of a political dynasty that lost national power in 2014, as an out-of-touch member of the elite. If BJP’s lead holds, it won’t need a coalition partner to stay in power and could even improve its position compared to 2014, when it won 282 seats. This election may mark the first time in the party’s history that it has won two consecutive elections on its own. EMILY SCHMALL (AP)

It is the second bailout for farmers by the Trump administration, which announced $12 billion in emergency measures last July. The new payments will begin in July or August.

Last slave ship from Africa ID’d off Ala. coast GULF COAST Researchers working in the murky waters of the northern Gulf Coast have located the wreck of the last ship known to bring enslaved people from Africa to the United States, officials said Wednesday. Remains of the Gulf schooner Clotilda were identified and verified near Mobile, Ala., after months of assessment, the Alabama Historical Commission said. The vessel was scuttled the year before the start of the Civil War to hide evidence of its illegal trip, and wasn’t seen again. “The discovery of the Clotilda is an extraordinary archaeological find,” said Lisa Demetropoulos Jones, executive director of the commission. She said the ship’s journey “represented one of the darkest eras of modern history.” In 1860, the wooden ship illegally transported 110 people from what is now the west African nation of Benin to Mobile. The Clotilda was then taken into delta waters north of the port and burned to avoid detection. The captives were later freed and settled a community that’s still called Africatown USA, but no one knew where the Clotilda was. A descendant of one of the Africans aboard the ship said she got chills when she learned its wreckage had been found. Joycelyn Davis, a sixthgeneration granddaughter of African captive Charlie Lewis, said, “I’m sure people had given up on finding it. It’s a wow factor.” JAY REEVES (AP)

‘Assange is no journalist’ NATIONAL SECURITY Federal prosecutors on Thursday accused WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of violating the Espionage Act, bringing against him a new, 18-count indictment alleging he unlawfully obtained and disclosed national defense information. The new charges dramatically raise the stakes of the case both for Assange and the news media, raising questions about the limits of the First Amendment. Prosecutors allege Assange worked with former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to obtain and disseminate classified information — conduct of which many traditional reporters might also be accused. The U.S. government, though, sought to distinguish the antisecrecy advocate from a traditional reporter. “Julian Assange is no journalist,” said John Demers, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for national security. Assange was previously indicted by a U.S. grand jury over his interactions in 2010 with

DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

New U.S. charges allege the WikiLeaks founder violated Espionage Act

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is in jail in Britain fighting extradition to the U.S., where new charges raise the stakes for him and the media.

Manning, who shared hundreds of thousands of classified war logs and diplomatic papers with WikiLeaks. If convicted, Assange faced a maximum of five years in prison under that conspiracy charge. Each alleged violation of the Espionage Act carries a potential 10-year prison sentence. But the new charges against Assange carry potential consequences, and could change the delicate balance in U.S. law

between press freedom and government secrecy. They also raise fresh questions about whether Manning the British courts will view the new charges as justified and worthy of extradition. Prosecutors alleged in the new indictment that Assange and WikiLeaks “repeatedly encouraged sources with access to classified information to steal it”

and give it to the anti-secrecy organization, posting on its website a “most wanted” list and saying the documents must be “likely to have political, diplomatic, ethical or historical impact on release.” Prosecutors seemed to distinguish Assange from a traditional publisher by his directions to Manning. They alleged, as they had previously, that Assange agreed to help Manning crack a password that might have helped cover their tracks — though the effort was apparently unsuccessful. Justice Department officials could not immediately point to a successful prosecution of a case comparable to these charges. In the past decade, prosecutors have increasingly used the Espionage Act to pursue government employees or ex-employees who leak classified information to reporters. First Amendment advocates have expressed concerns that prosecuting Assange could set a dangerous precedent. President Obama’s administration declined to charge Assange with a crime out of concern that it would be too difficult to distinguish WikiLeaks from a news organization.

Synagogue massacre suspect wants plea deal

May delays vote on bill but resists calls to resign

An Egyptian court Thursday ordered the release of an Al-Jazeera journalist who had been detained since 2016 on allegations of spreading false news and defaming Egypt’s reputation. Mahmoud Hussein, an Egyptian journalist working for the Qatar-based satellite network, was detained in December 2016. No official charges were ever raised against him and Hussein didn’t stand trial. (AP)

The man charged in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre still wants to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence, his lawyer said Thursday. Judy Clarke told a judge she hopes the case against her client can be resolved without a trial. Authorities say the man killed 11 people and wounded seven at Tree of Life synagogue last October. It was the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history. He’s pleaded not guilty. (AP)

Border funding is cut in Senate disaster aid bill WASHINGTON The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a $19.1 billion disaster aid package, advancing legislation that would break a months-long impasse over federal funding for stretches of the country afflicted by natural disasters. The Senate passed the measure 85-8, advancing an agreement that lawmakers announced just hours earlier to send aid to the Southeast, Midwest, California, Puerto Rico and other disaster-affected areas. A top Senate Republican said the White House has signed off on the bipartisan compromise. The package does not include the U.S.-Mexico border funding the Trump administration requested, according to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard C. Shelby, R-Ala. That demand had proved contentious. “We took it all out. We’re going to try to push that separately when we come back,” Shelby told reporters. Senators say they feel confident Trump will sign the deal, but White House officials were still reviewing the details Thursday afternoon. Trump has shown a willingness to sunder bipartisan pacts. Lawmakers in December said they believed he would agree to a bipartisan deal to avert a government shutdown. Trump rejected it, and the 35-day federal funding lapse that followed was the longest in U.S. history. JEFF STEIN AND MIKE DEBONIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

nation+world Pentagon proposes an increase to beef up defenses against Iran WASHINGTON The Pentagon on Thursday was presenting proposals to the White House to send military reinforcements to the Middle East to beef up defenses against Iran amid heightened tensions in the region, acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said. Shanahan told reporters the Defense Department has not yet determined how many troops might be sent to reinforce the existing U.S. military presence in the region. He disputed reports by The Associated Press and others that

the Pentagon was proposing to send up to 10,000 more troops. He said reports citing specific figures were “not correct.” “What we’re focused on right now is, do we have the right force protection in the Middle East?” Shanahan said, referring to defensive forces. “It may involve sending additional troops.” It’s not clear whether the White House would approve sending all of the troops proposed by the Pentagon, whatever the number. Officials said the proposed troop reinforcements are not a response to any new threat from Iran but are aimed at strengthening security for the U.S. forces already in the region. The officials said the troops would be defensive forces,

Pentagon leader Patrick Shanahan denied reports the U.S. wanted 10,000 more troops in Mideast.

and the discussions include additional Patriot missile batteries and more ships. The officials spoke on the

condition of anonymity because the plans have not been announced. Thursday’s meeting came as tensions with Iran continued, and it wasn’t clear if a decision would be made during the session. Any move to deploy more forces to the Middle East would signal a shift for President Trump, who has repeatedly emphasized the need to reduce troops in the region. U.S. officials have provided few details about possible Iranian threats but indicated they initially involved missiles loaded onto small Iranian boats. Officials this week said the missiles had been taken off the boats near Iran’s shore, but other maritime threats continue.

Tubman’s fate had been in doubt since the 2016 election campaign based on critical comments by thencandidate Donald Trump, who branded the move by the Obama administration an act of “pure political correctness.” (AP)

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. | Severe storm damage is seen in Jefferson City on Thursday after a tornado hit overnight. An outbreak of powerful storms spawned tornadoes that razed homes, flattened trees and injured dozens of people in Jefferson City. Gov. Mike Parson credited the warning system in central Missouri for saving lives. Three deaths were reported more than 150 miles away, near Golden City in the state’s southwestern corner.

COURTS A banker who prosecutors say tried to buy himself a senior post in President Trump’s administration by making risky loans to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pleaded not guilty Thursday to a financial institution bribery charge. Stephen M. Calk, 54, was released on $5 million bail after making a brief appearance in Manhattan federal court. Calk, who lives in Chicago where The Federal Savings Bank is headquartered, was told by Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman to have no contact with bank employees except for his brother. The small bank where Calk was CEO when he allegedly carried out the scheme said in a statement Calk already had no involvement with the bank and is on a leave of absence. Calk attorney Jeremy Margolis said his client will be exonerated on the “baseless isolated charge.” Federal prosecutors said Calk abused his bank position by approving $16 million in high-risk loans that were ultimately downgraded by the bank’s primary regulator. The prosecutors said that while Manafort’s loans were pending, Calk gave him a ranked list of government jobs he wanted. “His attempt at petitioning for political favors was unsuccessful in more ways than one — he didn’t get the job he wanted, and he compromised the one he had,” said FBI supervisor William F. Sweeney. LARRY NEUMEISTER (AP)

BEAL FAILS TO CASH IN

Blues find a way back

Oldest franchise without a title is making its first finals appearance in nearly 50 years STANLEY CUP FINAL Seeing the famous photo of Bobby Orr scoring the 1970 Stanley Cup-winning goal to beat his Blues doesn’t bring back bad memories for Scotty Bowman. “Not really,” the legendary coach said. “Because we didn’t have a big opportunity to win that series.” Orr and the big, bad Bruins swept Bowman’s overmatched, expansion-era Blues in that series. Now 49 years later, Boston is in its third final in nine seasons and St. Louis is back for the first time since 1970, but this BruinsBlues rematch is a showdown between two of the NHL’s best teams since Jan. 1. “Now it’s more level,” said Bowman, 85. “[The Blues] don’t give a lot of room in their end, and of course their goalie’s been lights out.” Coming off a sweep of Carolina

in the Eastern Conference final, the Bruins are favored in the series that begins Monday in Boston. Goaltender Tuukka Rask is the front-runner to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Brad Marchand is playing some of the best hockey of his career with 18 points in 17 games, and there’s a mix of veterans from the 2011 Stanley Cup-winning team and fresh players eager to get their names etched on the trophy. Unlike in 1970, when the Bruins essentially just had to step on the ice to take the final, these Blues won’t go away. They woke up last in the league Jan. 3 before winning 30 of their final 45 games to roll into the playoffs, where they beat the Jets, Stars and Sharks. Craig Berube, who replaced Mike Yeo as Blues coach in November, said those tough times early in the season made his players stronger.

Blues vs. Bruins All games start at 8 p.m.

Game 1: Monday in Boston, NBC Game 2: Wednesday in Boston, NBCSN Game 3: June 1 in St. Louis,NBCSN Game 4: June 3 in St. Louis, NBC Game 5*: June 6 in Boston, NBC Game 6*: June 9 in St. Louis, NBC Game 7*: June 12 in Boston, NBC * If necessary

“Once you get in the playoffs, anything can happen,” Berube said after the Western Conference final-clinching Game 6 victory Tuesday. “We’re here and we did. They believed they were going to make the playoffs, and we’re here.” The Blues are still here in large part because of rookie goaltender Jordan Binnington, whose first start in January coincided with the team’s turnaround. They

adopted Laura Branigan’s 1980s pop hit “Gloria” as their victory song and rallied in the playoffs around young fan Laila Anderson, who has a life-threatening immune disease. St. Louis is the oldest franchise not to win the Stanley Cup, and its drought is the second longest behind the Maple Leafs’ (the Leafs won the season before the Blues came into the league). To finish this improbable run, the Blues have to go through the Bruins, who finished tied for the second-most points this season. “They are a hard team to play against, a really skilled team,” the Blues’ Vladimir Tarasenko said. “But we have a hard team, too.” Boston will have a week and a half between finishing off Carolina and Game 1, and even St. Louis will go six days without playing.

Giannis, Harden lead All-NBA list MVP front-runners James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo, below, were unanimous selections to the 2018-19 All-NBA team, announced Thursday. A notable omission was Washington’s Bradley Beal, the first player in franchise history to average at least 25 points, five assists and five rebounds. An All-NBA selection in the media vote would have made Beal eligible for a supermax contract extension. Rounding out the first team were Stephen Curry, Paul George and Nikola Jokic. The second team has Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard and Joel Embiid. LeBron James was voted to the third team, tying the NBA record with his 15th All-NBA selection.

CONSECUTIVE FINAL FOURS

The number of consecutive NCAA lacrosse final fours the Maryland women have reached. This year marks their 27th appearance, the most in the sport. No team has played in more championship games (21) or won more championships (13). Coach Cathy Reese, left, has led the Terps to four NCAA titles and is 268-22 at Maryland. The Terps play Northwestern — the only team to beat Maryland this season — in a semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Baltimore.

A 20-year reign of pain

torched by the QB’s former team. McNabb watched the Eagles’ new QB, Michael Vick, become the first in NFL history with 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, four passing TDs and two rushing TDs in a game.

Since Dan Snyder bought the Redskins in 1999, they have won two playoff games, the fewest in the NFC East.

McCoy; Alex Smith; Josh Johnson; and Mark Sanchez.

The number of draft picks the Redskins traded to the Rams in exchange for the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NFL draft, which Washington used on QB Robert Griffin III. The Rams got first-round picks in 2012 (No. 6 overall), 2013 (No. 22), and 2014 (No. 2), as well as Washington’s second-round pick (No. 39) in 2012. Griffin played just 37 games for the Redskins, going 14-21 during an injury-plagued and drama-filled three seasons.

144

Dan Snyder is about to receive a LinkedIn notification to celebrate 20 years at the Washington Redskins, but he might not get many congratulatory notes. On May 25, 1999, NFL owners unanimously approved the $800 million sale of the team to a group led by a rich 34-year-old who was a lifelong Redskins fan. What could go wrong? Here are 20 numbers that define Snyder’s reign in Washington. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

The Redskins’ record since Snyder took over the team in 1999. Washington never had more than 10 regular-season wins during that span.

The number of playoff wins the Redskins have had over the past 20 years. Washington’s last postseason victory was a 17-10 win over the Buccaneers on Jan. 7, 2006.

The number of Super Bowls won by other NFC East teams since 1999. The Giants have two (2007, 2011) and the Eagles have one (2018). Like Washington, the Cowboys also have zero, so at least there’s that for Redskins fans.

The number of NFC East titles for the Redskins since 1999. Over the past 20 years, the Eagles have eight division championships, while the Cowboys have five and the Giants have four.

The number of head coaches, including interims, the Redskins have had under Snyder: Norv Turner (1999-2000); Terry Robiskie (2000); Marty Schottenheimer (2001); Steve Spurrier (2002-03); Joe Gibbs (2004-07); Jim Zorn (2008-09); Mike Shanahan (2010-13); Jay Gruden (2014-present). Only Gruden has lasted longer than four seasons.

The number of years over the past two decades that the Redskins have had either Vinny Cerrato or Bruce Allen in the front office. Cerrato was fired in 2001 by Marty Schottenheimer only to be rehired by Snyder the following year. While Snyder has been quick to fire coaches, he’s been oddly loyal to his top executives.

The Redskins’ record against the Cowboys since 1999. In Snyder’s first six years, Washington was 1-11 against its biggest rival.

The number of seasons since 1999 that the Redskins have had a top-10 scoring offense — 1999 (2nd); 2012 (4th) and 2015 (10th). Over that span, they ranked 20th or worse 13 times. From 1983 to 1991, Washington had a top-10 scoring offense in eight of the nine seasons.

12-28

The number of Redskins starting QBs since 1999: Brad Johnson; Jeff George; Tony Banks; Shane Matthews; Patrick Ramsey; Danny Wuerffel; Tim Hasselbeck; Mark Brunell; Jason Campbell; Todd Collins; Donovan McNabb; Rex Grossman; John Beck; Robert Griffin III; Kirk Cousins; Colt

PATRICK SMITH (GETTY IMAGES)

139-180 -1

The number of seasons since 1999 that the Redskins have had a top-10 scoring defense — 2000 (7th); 2004 (5th); 2005 (9th) and 2008 (6th). Over that span, they ranked 20th or worse nine times. When they won the Super Bowl in 1982, the Redskins had the top scoring defense in the league.

Warriors don’t expect Kevin Durant to be ready for start of NBA Finals

The number of wide receivers the Redskins drafted in the first two rounds since 1999: Rod Gardner (No. 15, 2001); Taylor Jacobs (No. 44, 2003); Devin Thomas (No. 34, 2008); Malcolm Kelly (No. 51, 2008); and Josh Doctson (No. 22, 2016). Those five receivers had a combined 406 receptions in 15 seasons with the Redskins (an average of just 27 per year).

The number of seasons All-Pro cornerback Deion Sanders played for the Redskins after signing a sevenyear, $56 million contract in 2000. After one season, Sanders decided to retire at 33 and ended up forfeiting part of his $8 million signing bonus. He came back in 2004 to play two seasons with the Ravens.

$90M

The approximate amount the Redskins spent in 2006 to sign three free agents — safety Adam

Archuleta, defensive end Andre Carter and wide receiver Antwaan Randle El — to max six- or sevenyear deals. None of the three played out their contracts.

$100M

The amount of the seven-year contract the Redskins gave to defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth in 2009, with $41 million of that guaranteed. Haynesworth played 20 games for Washington, recording 53 tackles and 6 ½ sacks. The contract is now the standard by which all bad NFL contracts are measured.

59-28

The score of the Redskins’ “Monday Night Football” loss to the Eagles on Nov. 16, 2010. Just hours after Washington handed Donovan McNabb a five-year, $78 million contract extension ($40 million guaranteed), the Redskins were

Tiger Woods commits to play Memorial

The number of points the Redskins were outscored by in 2013, the fourth-worst scoring differential in franchise history and the worst since 1961. Washington went 3-13, but the Rams owned their No. 2 pick in the draft as part of the trade to acquire RGIII.

$94M

The amount of the four-year extension the Redskins gave Alex Smith on Jan. 30, 2018, after trading the Chiefs for the QB. In Week 11 of last season, Smith broke his leg and might never play again.

19%

The drop in attendance at FedEx Field from 2017 to 2018. The Redskins had an NFL-low 74.4% home capacity last season, averaging about 61,028 fans per game. In 2017, the Redskins averaged 75,175 people per home game. In 1999, the Redskins were third in the NFL in home attendance, averaging 77,469 people per game.

$3.1B

The estimated value of the Redskins franchise, nearly four times what Snyder’s group paid in 1999, according to a Forbes report last year. Despite the team’s struggles over the past two decades, Washington has the fifthhighest value in the NFL, behind the Cowboys ($5B), Patriots ($3.8B), Giants ($3.3B) and Rams ($3.2B).

Fresh prince Aladdin (Mena Massoud), left, gets his life flipped turned upside down by Genie (Will Smith).

ALSO OPENING

‘Meeting Gorbachev’

The ‘Aladdin’ remake wisely freshens things up but can’t quite soar FILM REVIEW Right off the bat, you can tell that Disney’s live-action “Aladdin” has avoided some of the missteps of the original animated film. The lyrics of the song “Arabian Nights,” which is sung in a prologue that frames the new film as a children’s fairy tale, have been changed from this description of the film’s Middle Eastern setting — “It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home” — to this: “It’s chaotic, but hey, it’s home.” Other changes include casting actors of color: Mena Massoud plays the title character, an orphaned “street rat” and thief in the fictional land of Agrabah; Naomi Scott is his beloved, the Sultan’s daughter, Jasmine; and Will Smith replaces Robin Williams as Genie, who transforms Aladdin into a prince so he can woo Jasmine. Smith also portrays the nameless mariner whose telling of the tale sets it firmly in a land of wishful thinking. We’re not just talking about magic lamps and flying carpets. We’re talking about the even-more-feminist Jasmine, who doesn’t just dream

A kinda new world

Unrated, 92 min.

Former Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev gets his due in “Meeting Gorbachev,” an engaging and touching valedictory to one of the most pivotal figures of the 20th century. The man who helped end the Cold War may not be well known by younger generations in the U.S. But in Germany, where this film was produced, he’s a hero. “I love you,” Werner Herzog, the film’s co-director, says to his subject. ANN HORNADAY (TWP)

of escaping from under her father’s restrictive rules about whom she can marry but who aspires to become her people’s first female sultan. There’s even a new song written for this empowered Disney princess: “Speechless,” in which she sings about not being silenced by men. At times, the film feels like it could easily have been retitled “Jasmine.” Go, girl. That’s all for the good, and it makes for a film that has shaken off some of the dust of the past 27 years. The movie is colorful and pretty, and Smith brings a fresh, more street-wise approach to his character, while still honoring the motor-mouthed spirit of Williams’ scene-stealing performance. And “street-wise” doesn’t refer to the marketplace of Agrabah, but the streets of West Philly. As

The Sultan (Navid Negahban), left, can’t get over how hot Jafar (Marwan Kenzari) looks this time around.

‘Aladdin’ (PG, 128 min.) DIRECTOR: Guy Ritchie STARS: Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Will Smith, Marwan Kenzari IN A NUTSHELL: A live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated film about a charming street rat, a courageous princess and the genie who may be the key to their future.

with Williams, Smith’s wholly Americanized Genie is just one indicator that Agrabah is closer in spirit to a California theme park than a real caliphate. Another indicator? Aladdin, Jasmine and her handmaiden, Dalia (former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Nasim Pedrad), all talk like L.A. high school kids. “Aladdin” gets underway with

a chase through the alleys of the bazaar that sets the tone for the film’s action sequences, which are, in general, poorly choreographed and edited, loud and visually confusing. Talk about chaotic. The movie’s theme — don’t let yourself be trapped by class, gender politics or, in the case of Genie, a brass lamp — is a nice one, and director Guy Ritchie mostly succeeds in keeping things lively, despite some sluggish scenes and a longish running time. It isn’t as great a reimagining of the source material as Disney’s recent “Dumbo,” but it’ll do. To borrow Dalia’s description of Genie’s courtship skills, this “Aladdin” is “clumsy, but in a charming sort of way.” MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Getting their party started ‘Booksmart’s’ co-stars became fast friends to portray offbeat BFFs

Hold on to the reflections of ‘The Souvenir’

ANNAPURNA PICTURES VIA AP

FILM “Booksmart” is the latest in a long, proud tradition of movies that celebrate just how weird high schoolers are. The oddballs at the center of the comedy — BFFs played by Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein — stand apart, but at least they have each other. The film, the feature directorial debut of actor Olivia Wilde, follows Amy (Dever) and Molly (Feldstein) on their last day of senior year. Having kept their noses to the grindstone for all the years they’ve known each other, they realize they’ve missed out on some important coming-ofage rituals. So, in high schoolmovie tradition, they spend the night before graduation trying to track down an epic party that might make up for lost time. “Movies like ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’ and ‘The Breakfast Club,’ they so represent what it was like to be young at that moment in time,” Dever says. “I think ‘Booksmart’ represents this generation extremely well.” The movie itself is a bit of an oddball, which appealed to Dever (“Short Term 12,” TV’s “Last Man Standing”) and Feldstein (“Lady Bird”). “A lot of times at the center of [the older] films is a woman who’s trying to change her look, or trying to change her look to get a guy — or just get a guy,”

Besties Molly (Beanie Feldstein), left, and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) decide to stop being supergood for one night.

Feldstein says. In comparison, Amy and Molly “don’t have to lose their intellect to want to hook up with someone. You can be crazy and silly and ridiculously smart and accomplished and want to have a fun night. It’s a complex look at a young woman — and not just one, but two.” “To get sent a script that has two women in the leading roles in a comedy is so great, especially for young women,” Dever adds. “Sometimes I feel that, for women to be funny in film, we have to be the crazy one or dumb ourselves down, but the comedy in this is all about their intelligence.” After the two were cast in the film, Dever and Feldstein decided that there was only one way for them to capture the bond

‘Booksmart’ (R, 97 min.) DIRECTOR: Olivia Wilde STARS: Kaitlyn Dever, Beanie Feldstein, Jessica Williams QUICK TAKE: Directed with knockabout panache, “Booksmart” is fantastical but rooted in the optimistic conviction that it’s possible for a high school to exist where no one gets hurt, and a lucky few even get healed. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

that Amy and Molly share. “We knew of each other, but never actually officially met until our first lunch with Olivia,” Dever says. “And that’s where we had the conversation of ‘OK,

we’re moving in together.’ ” “We begged to live together,” Feldstein says. “We knew that ‘Booksmart’ is a comedy, but it’s a relationship movie, and the relationship is between two ride-ordie, co-dependent women. So we were like, ‘We need to spend every single day together.’ I mean, I loved Kaitlyn right away …” “I loved Beanie right away,” Dever interjects. “But there’s no way to replicate years together. The closest thing we could do was never leave each other’s side,” Feldstein continues. “It was a gift to the film because we were just so comfortable and trusting and had such rapport. And it was a gift because I have a new best friend.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (FOR EXPRESS)

“It felt slightly more like, you know, f--- it, I’m going to do the thing that feels right because it does, not because it adheres to something.” J.J. ABRAMS, speaking to Vanity Fair about his approach to directing the upcoming movie “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” Some

critics complained that Abrams’ 2015 film, “The Force Awakens,” was too similar to previous “Star Wars” movies.

FILM REVIEW It’s hard to shake “The Souvenir.” That’s understandable for a movie whose very title refers to the persistence of memory. Writer-director Joanna Hogg’s semi-autobiographical film centers around a turbulent relationship. London film student Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne), is in her early 20s: naive, idealistic, at times slightly bewildered. Her boyfriend, Anthony, (Tom Burke) is pushing 40: a government bureaucrat who showers Julie with a form of attention that is at once close and more than slightly cruel. Set in Thatcher-era England in an affluent neighborhood, “The Souvenir” is, on a superficial level, a clinical portrait of privilege. Julie, a stand-in for the filmmaker, is comfortably middle class, constantly borrowing money from her mother, played by Tilda Swinton (Swinton Byrne’s actual mother). Swinton Byrne was reportedly not given a screenplay, so her bewilderment often feels acutely raw and real. In the end, the cumulative effect of the gimmick leaves a tiny credibility gap, with Julie coming across as almost implausibly trusting. But there are other ways in which Hogg’s oblique style of filmmaking works brilliantly. This coming-of-age tale is no misty remembrance of bygone days. Rather, it is a clear-eyed reflection on how hindsight — and true art — is always 20/20. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (TWP)

The week’s best movie previews

‘Terminator: Dark Fate’

‘Downton Abbey’

EXPECTED RELEASE: Nov. 1

EXPECTED RELEASE: Sept. 20

SUMMARY: “Deadpool’s” Tim Miller is the latest director to take a shot at getting the floundering “Terminator” franchise back on track, and he has Arnold Schwarzenegger and a bazooka-toting Linda Hamilton at his disposal. This trailer also answers a franchise question you didn’t even know you had: Can a robot grow a beard? THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: A new era is dawning at Downton Abbey — “It’s 1927,” one character helpfully declares — and now the king and queen are about to descend on the place. That apparently requires a lot of tidying up, some smooching and a Maggie Smith wisecrack or two. Fortunately, there’s not a water bottle or takeout coffee cup in sight. ADAM SAPIRO (EXPRESS)

“You did the right thing and the result is ... hysterical.” @TRACYSOREN, tweeting about

Twitter user @itsmeCaseyMc’s recent case of mistaken identity. While looking out a window, the New York City native thought she saw a person dressed in red robes from the show “Handmaid’s Tale” standing on the edge of a roof building. Thinking the person was going to jump, she called 911. Responding officers discovered the figure was actually a red umbrella.

“Who is Cece rooting for?” @412YINZR, joking about the cultural crossover between the Stanley

Cup Final and “The Office.” Fans noticed the matchup between the St. Louis Blues and Boston Bruins could create tension between couple Jim and Pam Halpert. Jenna Fischer, who played Pam, was raised in St. Louis, Mo., and is a Blues fan. John Krasinski, who played Jim, is a Massachusetts native and has been pictured at numerous Bruins games. Cece is the name of their daughter in the comedy. In response to the matchup, Krasinski on Tuesday tweeted, “Uh oh ... “

@THEFILMCACTUS, defending filmmaker Quentin Tarantino after Variety reported he “snapped at a female reporter” who asked why Margot Robbie wasn’t given more lines in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Tarantino responded to the inquiry, which many thought was an insinuation that he is sexist, by saying, “Well, I just reject your hypotheses.” Robbie, meanwhile, said that showing the “wonderful sides” of her character, the late Sharon Tate, “could be adequately done without speaking.” Tarantino defenders noted that his acclaimed films “Kill Bill” and “Jackie Brown” star women.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are rolling full steam toward your destination, but you may encounter an obstacle when you least expect it. You must think fast. CANCER (June 21-July 22) The possible and the probable are both attractive to you today, but they aren’t necessarily compatible. You must make an educated decision. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You want something more from a routine endeavor than what you’ve come to expect. A close friend has just the thing if you’re willing to experiment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This interesting day sees you called in more than one direction at once. How you navigate conflicts will make all the difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You mustn’t let your insecurities hold you back, and you certainly mustn’t let them hold someone else back! It’s time to let go. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

you start isn’t likely to be stoppable today. Be ready to go the distance, and don’t let a well-meaning friend stand in your way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may not end the day very near where you started it, but it’s all part of a plan — and you must be willing to relinquish control just a bit.

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons have broken up after a year of dating, according to Page Six. The report comes after Jenner made a series of posts to her Instagram Story that hinted she and Simmons had called it quits, including a clip from the Tyler, the Creator song “I Don’t Love You Anymore.” Sources said Simmons was recently spotted partying in Atlantic City, N.J., with a group that included a “tall, supersexy brunette.” Jenner and Simmons reportedly had been dating since March 2018, though Jenner was seen kissing model Anwar Hadid this past September.
