page three A beauty that’s only skim-deep THE DISTRICT D.C. Water’s crew of river-based trash busters has gotten a major upgrade — another step in the long journey to return the Anacostia River to a place where people will again be able to swim, fish and frolic in it.

The agency has acquired two new skimmer boats to replace older models that have been in service for more than a decade, but in their final years were spending as much time in the repair shop as they were on the water removing trash.

“Visually, this embodies our joint commitment to clean up this body of water,” D.C. Water General Manager George S. Hawkins said as he stood along the banks of the Anacostia showing off the new fleet. Behind him, one of the two 50-foot boats, painted a soothing shade of light blue and emblazoned with the agency’s logo, bobbed in the water.

The new skimmers, which cost about $1 million total, are bigger and faster and should make the effort to clear trash and debris from the river even more efficient.

PETE MAROVICH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Two new boats are helping to clean up the Anacostia River

A new skimmer acquired by D.C. Water cruises the Anacostia River on Friday, helping to clean the polluted waterway of trash and debris.

Each year, boats remove 300 to 500 tons of trash from the region’s waterways, Hawkins said.

“There’s really a need for these guys,” said Emily Franc, the riverkeeper at the nonprofit Anacostia Riverkeeper. Anacostia Riverkeeper is an advocacy organization working to restore the river.

There have been other actions as well. The District’s 5-cent plastic bag tax that went into effect in 2010 has helped reduce the number of bags that turn up

The cost of each of the new skimmers. Each of the boats — named Flotsam and Jetsam — is 50 feet long, 13 feet wide and weighs 26,000 pounds. Their max speed tops out at a slow 4 knots. They are equipped with metal conveyor belts that glide along the surface capturing solid items, which are then moved to the back of the boat. (TWP)

in the river and provided money to pay for other programs. A ban on foam food containers that went into effect last year is also aimed at reducing the number that turn up in the region’s waterways. Funds from the bag tax have helped pay for trash traps placed in strategic points to capture trash before it reaches the river. Cameras have been installed to monitor “hot spots” where people dump things in the river.

“All of these things, from policy to education to implementation, are really all pieces of the puzzle,” said Jeffrey Seltzer, associate director of the Water Quality Division at D.C.’s Department of Energy and the Environment. “There is no one silver bullet.”

The work that D.C. Water does is another huge piece, he said, because the skimmer boats serve as a critical last line of defense once trash has reached the river.

“The river is already getting cleaner,” said Tommy Wells, the former D.C. Council member who is now director of the District’s Department of Energy and Environment. “We’re not there yet, but with all this work it is getting cleaner.”

Victims in gynecologist case to receive settlements soon

Decades after he was slain, victim ID’d as former Marine

More than 8,000 patients of a Johns Hopkins gynecologist accused of secretly recording pelvic exams will soon receive their share of a $190 million settlement. The checks ranging from about $1,900 to nearly $28,000 should be mailed June 2, the claims adjudicator said. The case has been described as the largest sexual abuse settlement stemming from a single perpetrator in U.S. history. The Johns Hopkins Health System fired Dr. Nikita Levy in 2013 after a co-worker alerted authorities about a pen-like camera he wore. He killed himself days later, as federal investigators found about 1,200 videos on computers in his home. (AP)

More than three decades after a man was found slain in the Washington suburbs, authorities have identified him as a former Marine. Prince George’s County Police said Wednesday he was 27-year-old Bennett Louis. His mostly skeletal remains were found in 1984 in woods in Beltsville.

Detective Bernard Nelson says the body couldn’t be identified then, but the FBI’s new fingerprint technology made a match recently.

Nelson says Louis was shot and his body dumped months before it was found. Louis, who was honorably discharged from the Marines, was originally from New Roads, La. (AP)

Lawmakers resist cuts to bay funds Trump’s budget would eliminate money for Chesapeake cleanup REGION The budget proposal released Tuesday by President Trump doubles down on his promise to eliminate Chesapeake Bay cleanup dollars, increasing the pressure on key Virginia and Maryland lawmakers to rescue the funding.

The region has four lawmakers on the powerful House and Senate appropriations committees — Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and Reps. Andy Harris, R-Md., C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., and Scott W. Taylor, R-Va. Democrats and Republicans in both states have expressed support for cleaning up the bay, but it is ultimately up to them to persuade GOP leaders in Congress to set aside money for the Environmental Protection Agency’s restoration effort.

“It’s like motherhood and baseball,” Ruppersberger said. “It’s a resource, it’s part of our life.

It’s part of what we do.”

pollution with the aim of improving water quality.

The 275-page spending plan released by the White House on Tuesday makes no mention of the environmental or fiscal impacts of zeroing out the funding.

Instead, the document devotes half a page to the importance of eliminating federal funding for what it calls “geographic programs,” including cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay and the Great Lakes region.

“Truly, the only word I can come up with is ‘incomprehensible’ as to why they would zero out a program that has bipartisan support, is clearly science-based and is working,” said Chesapeake Bay Foundation President William C. Baker. JENNA PORTNOY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Duterte might expand martial law in ISIS fight PHILIPPINES Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who had declared martial law across the southern third of the nation, warned Wednesday he may expand it to nationwide.

Wednesday, authorities said that militants linked to the Islamic State group swept through Marawi, a southern Philippine city, beheading a police chief, burning buildings, seizing a Catholic priest and his congregation and raising the black flag of the Islamic State group.

At least 21 people have died in the fighting, officials said.

As details emerged, fears mounted that the largest Roman Catholic nation in Asia could be among the countries grappling with influence from ISIS. The violence erupted Tuesday after the army raided the hideout of Isnilon Hapilon, a commander of the Abu Sayyaf militant group who has pledged allegiance to ISIS. He is on Washington’s list of most-wanted terrorists.

The militants called for reinforcements and about 100 gunmen entered Marawi, a mostly Muslim city on the southern island of Mindanao, Defense

Space bag’s price tag is otherworldly Neil Armstrong’s lunar sample bag is expected to fetch between $2 million and $4 million at an auction, according to Sotheby’s New York, which announced over the weekend that the bag will be offered in the auction house’s space exploration sale on July 20, the anniversary of the moon landing. The off-white, purse-sized pouch flew to the moon and back in 1969 with the legendary astronaut, who used it to collect the first lunar rock specimens during the Apollo 11 mission.

When the bag, which still contained traces of moon dust, returned to Earth, it became a priceless museum artifact. But the U.S. government lost track of it until a few years ago, when it was accidentally put up for auction and nabbed for less than $1,000. (TWP)

Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

“We are in a state of emergency,” Duterte said Wednesday.

“I have a serious problem in Mindanao and the ISIS footprints are everywhere.”

He declared martial rule for 60 days in the entire Mindanao region — home to 22 million people — and vowed to be “harsh.”

“If I think that you should die, you will die,” he said. “If you fight us, you will die. If there is open defiance, you will die.

And if it means many people dying, so be it.” JIM GOMEZ AND TERESA CEROJANO (AP)

A leg up? Study reveals how flamingos do it.

Humans consider standing on one leg something best done in a yoga class. Flamingos, on the other hand, consider it the most comfortable sleeping position.

The reason behind it remains obscure. Scientists have hypothesized various explanations.

Atlanta biologists Young-Hui Chang of Georgia Tech and Lena Ting of Emory University set out to find a definitive reason. They were examining two recently euthanized flamingos when something astounding happened.

Chang held one of the cadavers up by its leg, which immediately snapped into place. He put the dead bird on a table, where it stood as if it were merely sleeping.

“It was a lightbulb moment,” Chang told The Atlantic. “We weren’t expecting it to be stable, but it totally was.”

More surprising? The cadavers couldn’t stand on two legs.

Instead of using active muscle force to keep their balance on one leg, flamingos’ unique skeletal and muscular systems allow for gravity to do the work, the scientists reported in a study Wednesday in Biology Letters.

The bird’s skeleton appears to be the key. When it’s nap time, the bird lifts one leg and moves its body so its single foot is centered directly under the carriage of bird. All the joints essentially snap into place.

They still are studying why it happens. TRAVIS M. ANDREWS

Governor vetoes marijuana bill, wants changes made

Video appears to show officer striking teenage girl

President Trump has retained the services of a lawyer, Marc E. Kasowitz, to help him navigate the investigations into his campaign and suspected Russian interference in last year’s election, according to people familiar with the decision.

With the appointment last week of a special counsel to probe alleged Russian meddling in the election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, the stakes have been raised. Kasowitz has represented Trump on his divorce records, real estate transactions and allegations of fraud at Trump University. Kasowitz is a partner at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman in New York. (TWP)

Republican Gov. Phil Scott on Wednesday vetoed a bill that would have made Vermont the ninth state to legalize recreational marijuana but indicated that he was willing to work with the Legislature on a compromise. Scott said he was sending the bill back with suggestions for another path forward and called for changes to be made to the proposal, such as more aggressive penalties for smoking pot while driving or in the presence of children. “We must get this right,” said Scott, who is hoping the Legislature can make the fixes during a veto session in late June.

The San Antonio Police Department is reviewing police body camera footage after a bystander posted video online that appears to show an officer punching an eighth-grade girl three or four times. Mayor Ivy Taylor said Wednesday the video “is hard to watch and listen to.” The footage was shot Saturday outside an event center where authorities said officers were called about men fighting at a quinceanera (a girl’s 15th birthday celebration).

The 14-year-old girl was arrested on a charge of assaulting a public servant, police said. Artessia House, a lawyer for the girl, denied that the teen struck the officer. (AP)

The Fox News ‘disconnect’ A network that has long ruled the ratings finds itself struggling to keep its footing

CBO: 23M more uninsured in ‘26 with House bill

PAUL ZIMMERMAN (GETTY IMAGES)

MEDIA Rupert Murdoch has a headache.

It’s called Fox News Channel.

Only a few weeks ago, the cofounder and chairman of Fox was presiding over a TV juggernaut.

With a new, Fox-friendly president in office, the network recorded the highest viewing totals in its 21year history — a strong indication that Fox was resilient enough to shake off the sexual harassment scandal that forced out its other co-founder, the late Roger Ailes, last year and the subsequent departure of prime-time star Megyn Kelly in January.

But that was then.

Ever since, the most profitable and influential piece of Murdoch’s globe-spanning media empire has been billowing smoke. Murdoch dismissed Bill O’Reilly, the network’s top attraction, in April amid another sexual harassment scandal. Then he cashiered Fox’s co-president, Bill Shine, who was accused of enabling Ailes.

For the past 10 days, as bombshells and bad news swirled around President Trump, Fox has all but sidestepped the story, prompting some of its viewers to head elsewhere. Result: A resurgent MSNBC took the top spot in the news ratings for the first time in its history last week. Fox finished a shocking third behind MSNBC and CNN among younger viewers.

On Tuesday, there was a new mess for Murdoch: Amid an outcry and threats of a lawsuit, Fox took the rare step of retracting one of its stories — a baseless report alleging that Seth Rich, a young Democratic National Committee staffer, was murdered last year in a conspiracy tied to the leak of DNC emails. The

Fox News star Sean Hannity this week pushed a discredited conspiracy story about a young DNC staffer’s death.

retraction put Fox at odds with its signature personality, Sean Hannity, who has pushed the discredited story on his primetime program and has refused to admit error.

Hannity now faces an advertiser boycott — the kind that helped sink O’Reilly.

Jeffrey McCall, a DePauw University professor who studies the news media, says Fox “needs to get itself out of the news. Being the subject of constant news stories rhetorically signals that there is more commotion going on in the organization than might really be happening.”

The accumulating chaos leaves Murdoch, 86, with perhaps his biggest management challenge since the network’s inception.

The media mogul took over Fox after he booted Ailes last year at the urging of his sons, James and Lachlan, who run Fox’s parent company, 21st Century Fox. Murdoch has said little as

Who trusts the media?

In a poll by the Media Insight Project released Wednesday, only 17 percent of Americans judged the “news media” as very accurate, but twice as many said the same thing about the news sources they visit most often. Ask about other attributes and it’s the same pattern: 24 percent judged the media as a whole as moral, while 53 percent said that about their favorites. Twenty-seven percent said the media was willing to admit mistakes, and 47 percent said that about their sources. (AP)

Fox’s problems have unfolded. In the meantime, Fox’s rivals have been all too eager to highlight the network’s issues.

People at CNN and MSNBC say Fox has hurt itself by not covering allegations of Russian involvement in Trump’s campaign and administration more aggressively, especially during

the prime-time opinion programs that attract its largest audiences.

That has left a big opening for, among others, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, whose program briefly was the top-rated on cable news last week.

“There’s an absolute disconnect” on the Russia story, said one cable news manager about Fox. “They have an alternate reality going on over there and it’s hurting them. They seem to be trying their damnedest not to face reality.”

Ongoing coverage of the president’s overseas visit and the suicide bombing in Manchester, England, may have given Fox a temporary reprieve, restoring the familiar cable order among viewers. But once the intensity of those stories fades, Fox will be left with the same problem: how, or even whether, to cover the bad news surrounding a president whom many Fox viewers support.

POLITICS The health care bill Republicans have pushed through the House would leave 23 million additional people uninsured in 2026 compared to the Affordable Care Act, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.

The GOP bill would lower average premiums, but in part that would be because coverage would typically be skimpier.

The report was the budget office’s first analysis of the GOP health care overhaul that the House narrowly approved this month with only Republican votes. Comparably, budget office reports in March on initial versions of the bill projected that 24 million people would lose coverage.

Wednesday’s analysis offered political ammunition for both parties. Democrats have savaged the GOP bill, saying it would toss people off their coverage, threaten their benefits and jeopardize coverage for people with serious medical conditions.

Many Republicans have said they are largely focused on steps that will reduce premiums.

The House bill would also reduce the federal deficit by $119 billion over the next decade, slightly less than the $150 billion the office estimated in March with the initial bill.

The new estimates will serve as a starting point for GOP senators starting to write their own version of the legislation.

authorities acknowledged that they remained vulnerable to a follow-up attack, with the nation’s state of alert still at “critical” — the highest possible level.

Authorities expressed growing confidence Wednesday that

the 22-year-old suspect, Salman Abedi — who had recently returned from Libya and may have also traveled to Syria — had been only one part of a significantly broader web of conspirators.

“It’s very clear that this is a

network we are investigating,” Greater Manchester Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said.

Hopkins said police were carrying out raids across the city and arrested four people, including Abedi’s older brother, Ismail. A fifth suspect was apprehended carrying “a suspicious package” in the town of Wigan. A sixth person also was arrested.

In Libya, authorities said they had arrested Abedi’s father, Ramadan, and younger brother, Hashem, suspected of planning an attack in Tripoli.

Ramadan Abedi had earlier asserted that his sons were innocent, saying, “This is not us.”

Police find links in Britain, Libya Tension aside, Trump, Pope meet at Vatican POLITICS President Trump and Pope Francis, two leaders with contrasting styles and differing worldviews, met at the Vatican on Wednesday. The two met in the pope’s private study for nearly half an hour, joined only by an interpreter.

After some initial awkwardness — Trump looked uneasy as he was kept waiting before shaking hands with Francis, who was stone-faced at first — the atmosphere warmed.

Neither man repeated his prior criticism of the other.

Trump smiled broadly, while the pope smiled less.

A Vatican communique later called the meeting “cordial,” and expressed hope for collaboration with the administration on “health care, education and assistance to immigrants.” The White House said they talked extensively about extreme terrorism threats.

The pope gifted the president a medal with an olive branch.

Francis also gave three bound papal documents, including his encyclical on climate change. The pope told Trump he signed the message “personally for you.”

Trump presented the pontiff with a custom-bound, firstedition set of Martin Luther King Jr.’s works, an engraved stone from the King memorial in Washington and a bronze sculpture of a flowering lotus.

When Trump departed, he told the pope: “Thank you, I won’t forget what you said.” (AP/TWP)

THREE POINTERS

The Redskins’ Chris Thompson dodges coach Jay Gruden during a drill Wednesday.

Not breathing easy yet Thompson thrived as a third-down back in 2016, but he worries about job security REDSKINS Running back Chris Thompson is coming off his first 16-game season as a Washington Redskin — one in which he set career marks for rushing attempts (68), rushing yards (356), pass receptions (49) and touchdowns (three rushing, two receiving).

But Thompson, 26, hasn’t forgotten that the team easily could have cut him after injuries limited him to just six games his first two seasons. And in August, when the club makes its final cuts to pare the roster to 53, he won’t rest comfortably until he’s sure he has earned his spot once again.

“I’m gonna still be nervous when that time comes around,” Thompson told reporters this week before the start of three

days of practice. “I’ll never forget that feeling. I’ve just got to come out here and work every day to try to secure my job.”

Just 5 -8 and 194 pounds, Thompson is hardly the prototypical NFL back. He was projected as a late-round pick in the 2013 draft because of his size and injury woes at Florida State.

But former Redskins coach Mike Shanahan saw enough potential to draft him in Round 5.

And under coach Jay Gruden, Thompson has carved out a significant role as the third-down back. He is reasonably surehanded, elusive and, in practice, an unfailing worker.

Heading into his fifth season, having signed a one-year contract in April, Thompson says

Matt Jones absent Running back Matt Jones was absent from voluntary practice Wednesday for the second straight day. Coach Jay Gruden said he spoke to Jones and hopes he returns for June minicamp. “It’s mandatory,” Gruden said.

“He’d better.” Jones lost the starting job after Week 7 last year to Rob Kelley and was a healthy scratch for the final eight games. (TWP)

he has worked hard to improve this offseason, working on his quickness and route-running.

He hopes Gruden will expand his role, but the coach hasn’t promised anything.

“Third down, red zone — talk about our situational football, and

there’s nobody better as a thirddown back, in my opinion, than Chris,” Gruden said. “Whether he does some more stuff on first and second down will be determined; I’m sure he will.”

Thompson’s role is just one storyline in what’s expected to be a fiercely competitive position battle.

Rob Kelley is the incumbent starter, having supplanted fumble-prone Matt Jones midway through last season. The returning Mack Brown is eager to establish himself. Add to that rookie Samaje Perine, the widebodied, powerful Oklahoma back the Redskins added in the fourth round, as well as seventh-round pickup Keith Marshall. LIZ CLARKE

CAVALIERS AT CELTICS | GAME 5: 8:30 TONIGHT, TNT

Celtics face tricky choice over Isaiah

NBA

MADDIE MEYER (GETTY IMAGES)

All-Star Game awarded to Charlotte for 2019

Unless they stun the Cavs to reach the NBA Finals, Boston’s next task will be deciding about its star NBA The Boston Celtics’ season is likely to end tonight. Even at home, they are 10-point underdogs against the Cleveland Cavaliers and trail the East finals 3-1.

But aside from the Cavs and the Golden State Warriors, the Celtics might be in the league’s most enviable position.

They have a front office led by Danny Ainge, an excellent coach in Brad Stevens, a versatile roster led by Isaiah Thomas, a deep supporting cast, and numerous draft picks in hand — including the No. 1 selection June 22.

Because the Celtics have so many possibilities they can pursue — ranging from a focused rebuild around youth to chasing big names in free agency and trades, thanks to plenty of cap

space and assets — there has been a years-long debate about how they should proceed. But no matter which path they choose, one question looms: What should they do with Thomas?

T h o m a s , 2 9, a v e r a g e d 28.9 points this season and was a postseason hero, playing through the tragic death of his sister and repeated health issues, including a hip ailment that led the team to shut him down after Game 2 of the East finals.

After he earns a modest $6.2 million next season, he can become an unrestricted free agent.

No doubt he’ll want a max deal.

“They better bring out the Brinks truck,” he said with a smile in July. But signing him to such a deal would carry serious risks. For all of the brilliance he’s

displayed from the moment he arrived in Boston from Phoenix at the trade deadline in 2015 — one of the best deals Ainge has executed in his 14 years in charge in Boston — Thomas remains a 5-foot-9 point guard, and history doesn’t look kindly on diminutive guards as they age.

The Celtics thrived with Thomas this season, but the way they played in the past two games against the Cavaliers without him underscores some of the limitations he places on a team.

While Thomas can create an efficient offense on his own, he also ranked dead last — among 468 players — in the NBA in ESPN’s defensive real plusminus stat, which estimates a player’s on-court impact on his team’s defensive performance by

points allowed per 100 defensive possessions.

After Cleveland did whatever it wanted in the opening two games of the series with Thomas on the court, Boston replaced him in the starting lineup with Marcus Smart, a 6-foot-4 defensive bulldog. It’s been easy to see in the last two games how different Boston looks when it doesn’t have to hide Thomas on defense.

All of this creates the backdrop for a fascinating few months in Boston. Assuming the Celtics don’t win three in a row to reach the NBA Finals, the focus will shift to the draft, where Boston is expected to use its top pick on Washington’s Markelle Fultz or UCLA’s Lonzo Ball. Both play Thomas’ position: point guard.

A few songs among friends

AUTUMN DE WILDE

Does it help that you know people who are coming to your concerts are fans?

There’s pressure with that, in that you don’t want to disappoint them.

There seems to be very little that Audra McDonald can’t do. The winner of a record six Tony awards, she’s obviously comfortable onstage. She was a cast member on TV’s “Private Practice,” and is one of the few movie actors to have played a singing wardrobe (which she did in this year’s live-action “Beauty and the Beast”).

Now, McDonald is bringing her soaring soprano to Strathmore for a concert featuring music from the stage and screen, as well as originals written specifically for her. It’s a different experience from her work on stages worldwide and screens big and small — and, to her, that’s a good thing. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, Md.; Fri., 8 p.m., $45-$105.

What do you get out of these concerts that you don’t get from performing in a play or a musical?

Because there’s no fourth wall and no script, really, I’m able to speak to the audience directly. I like to think of my concerts as intimate evenings, as if I had friends coming over to my living room. It’s a chance for me to get to

know the audience and the audience to get to know me a little bit.

That sounds scary.

It really can be, in that there’s nothing to hide behind. Years ago, when I started doing concerts, I was terrified of my audience. Now I find that if I stay open to them and stay open to the

How is your approach to a concert different from your approach to doing a musical?

It’s like instead of doing one musical, I’m doing maybe 15 to 20.

I try to make it so I’m getting to the crux, the why of the song — what is wanted and desired and needed within the song. I have to have a reason why I sing a song.

In that sense I approach it like I do a musical, but instead of one long arc throughout the story, it’s a bunch of little arcs.

One macaron to rule them all

Laduree’s macarons are renowned the world over. With the French chain’s recent arrival in Georgetown and Union Station, locals can now get their hands on their treats whenever they want. That is, if they have time to spare — lines at the pastry counter often stretch out the door, especially on the weekends. And at $2.80 per dainty cookie, Laduree macarons aren’t a cheap habit. So are they worth it? To find out, Washington Post tasters pitted them against the local competition. BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Le Caprice

Paul

3460 14th St. NW; $1.89 each.

Multiple area locations; $5.95 for three.

The cheapest of the bunch, Le Caprice’s macarons were a lesson in the saying “You get what you pay for.” Samples were matte, flat and definitely the least attractive in the array. They also tasted stale. There was a strange crunchiness to the outside of the cookies, too.

Among the tasting notes: The chocolate was “generic,” the vanilla had a filling like “bad canned frosting” and the pomegranate was reminiscent of SweeTarts.

The Sweet Lobby 404 Eighth St. SE; $2.10 each.

These samples approached the middle of the road, but weren’t quite there.

The chocolate macaron looked like “a hockey puck” but did have a decent contrast between the crunchy exterior and the smooth filling. The fig-balsamic, which was chewy and dense, was an oddball that “tastes like purple,” as one taster remarked — think candy or cold medicine. (That’s not a good thing.)

These petite macarons were pretty dense. The chocolate version was “kind of like a brownie in taste and texture.”

The vanilla? Oddly, it had a very sweet shredded coconut filling that made it something more akin to a Mounds bar. The caramel was “super-sweet” and reminiscent of Werther’s Original candies.

Macaron Bee Lady Camellia, 3261 Prospect St. NW; $2.25 each.

These tall specimens were textbook in appearance. Their texture was dense, almost closer to a macaroon than a macaron. The vanilla version seemed overbaked, crystallized and more neutral, though not necessarily bad, in flavor. The chocolate resembled something from Little Debbie. The pink champagne variety had an alcoholic bite and a surprise chocolate filling.

Laduree Olivia Macaron 3222 M St. NW; Tysons Corner, 1961 Chain Bridge Road, McLean, Va.; Montgomery Mall, 7101 Democracy Blvd., Bethesda; $2.50 each.

There was a nice sheen on these cookies, which were rather appealing in appearance. The outer shell was crisp, even if the overall effect was a bit crumbly. The chocolate version was sweeter than its competitors, but the vanilla needed to be bolder. The mimosa had a little champagne flavor, though it didn’t taste much like the brunch drink — and it was pink. Shouldn’t it be orange instead?

3060 M St. NW; Union Station, 50 Massachusetts Ave. NE; $2.80 each.

These were ideal in almost every way — something you’d hope from a brand with more than 100 years in business. As for their appearance, they had a good shine, perfect coloring and ingredients (vanilla seeds, pistachios) you could see. The texture of the cookies had the right balance of crispiness, heft and fluff. The vanilla was clean and not artificial-tasting, and the pistachio tasted like the actual nut. The chocolate? All one rapturous taster could manage was: “Ooh la la! Je t’aime!”

The Washington Post tried macarons from Olivia Macaron, Macaron Bee, Paul, Le Caprice, Laduree and The Sweet Lobby.

America finally gets Lupertz

PHILLIPS COLLECTION

“Westwall (Siegfried Line)” (1968), at the Hirshhorn: “On one hand, it looks like a painting of some kind of monumental minimalist sculpture, but actually it is a painting of the Siegfried Line,” a great battlement that ran along Germany’s borders with Belgium and France, Hankins says. The painting’s perspective — with the battlements angling inward on both sides of the midpoint — “puts the viewer right in the center,” Hankins adds.

STOFFEL COLLECTION

“Helmets Sinking — Dithyrambic” (1970), at the Hirshhorn: For decades after World War II, any painting depicting German military themes was likely to be labeled dangerously nationalistic, Hankins says. But when Lupertz painted these helmets, he wasn’t trying to be provocative: “He believes that creativity drains the motif of its cultural meaning, and I think with the German motifs, he’s really testing that theory,” she says.

as a child. Largely self-taught, he launched his career by painting abstract versions of ordinary objects such as cake tins and tree trunks, says Evelyn Hankins, the curator of the Hirshhorn show.

“Westwall,” painted in 1968, marked the turning point at which Lupertz began addressing emotionally charged themes, such as the German military’s role in World War II — a nearly taboo subject in East and West Germany at the time.

“He was making these paintings at a critical moment when Germany was having a moment of reckoning” with its wartime atrocities, Hankins says.

Lupertz’s brushwork and emotional tenor have also developed over time, Kosinski says.

“Some of those early works from the ’60s and ’70s have an almost hard-edged, pop art kind of quality to them. His works in the ’80s are filled with anxiety and fury,” Kosinski says. “And then, in the last several years, his paintings have taken on a more elegiac, arcadian beauty.”

HALL ART FOUNDATION

EXHIBITS If you’re a selfie enthusiast mourning the closing of Hirshhorn blockbuster “Infinity Mirrors,” here’s a tip. The museum just installed a massive painting that’s nearly as Instagrammable as Yayoi Kusama’s mirror rooms: “Westwall (Siegfried Line),” a 41-foot-long canvas depicting a German World War II fortification. It’s just one of 32 works in “Markus Lupertz: Threads of History,” an exhibit showcasing the early work of an artist who, like Kusama, has been overlooked in America despite acclaim throughout the rest of the world.

The Hirshhorn exhibit, which opened Wednesday, will be joined on Saturday by the first American career retr o s p e c t ive of Lupertz Lupertz’s work, called simply “Markus Lupertz,” at the Phillips Collection. Together, the two shows are the first in-depth U.S. survey of Lupertz’s work.

“Between these two installations, you can really get the sense of the expanse of his career, the themes that interested him and the evolution of his methods,” says Dorothy Kosinski, the director of the Phillips Collection and curator of the retrospective.

The double dose is helpful because, as an artist, Lupertz (who’s still painting) is hard to pin down, Kosinski adds. “He’s kind of more elusive and more challenging than some other, more popular contemporary artists. He doesn’t have an instantly recognizable style.”

Lupertz was born in 1941 in what’s now the Czech Republic, and he moved to West Germany

STROHER COLLECTION

Two retrospectives are the U.S.’s first deep dive into the artist’s work

“Arcadia — The High Mountain” (2013), at the Phillips: Here, Lupertz juxtaposes German military helmets with classical Greek sculptures. By combining the two images, he is exploring his place in the Western art tradition, with the helmets perhaps representing his work and the sculptures representing the great artists of ancient Greece, Kosinski says.

“Donald Duck’s Wedding” (1963), at the Hirshhorn: This is a serious painting with a silly subject.

You can make out the duck from the eyes and the orange bill, but Lupertz obscures the rest of the cartoon bird with his technically challenging brushwork. This combination of high and low art, and of pop art and abstract expressionism, is typical of Lupertz’s early paintings, Hankins says.

I took a seat in the empty eight-person capsule, where a movie about the history of manned flight played on a screen meant to be the front window of the aircraft. Even with the machine bouncing along in time to the film, the grainy screen (which was probably cutting-edge around the time the Wright brothers were still bike mechanics) failed to convince me I was anywhere but in a dated VR machine.

The quest for a powerful bauble reminded me of “Lord of the Rings,” though it took a surprising turn when (spoiler alert?) the hero’s robot dog ate the gem and transformed into a huge, murderous robot dog. The situation never resolved itself — the robot jetted off, leaving his friends on Mars to deal with the dog, and the ride ended.

This screen was sharper than the one on “Flights of Courage,” but the lurching of the vehicle was strangely gentle given the frenetic action on the screen — a combination that resulted in an oddly muted effect, like riding a roller coaster after taking some Xanax.

Oculus Rift headsets. I was presented with the convincing POV of someone orbiting above the Earth, looking at the space station from the outside. The illusion was only somewhat punctured by the suddenly

invisible people exclaiming things in Chinese around me.

An authoritative-sounding man began barking acronymladen instructions. “Discovery Houston, you are a go for GBA EV1 command for propulsion system test,” he said. (I think.)

“OK, copy that,” a woman — apparently me — replied.

From that point on, the ride was a “Being John Malkovich” situation, where I was passively stuck inside this woman’s body as she failed to fix the circuit. The situation went from bad to worse as space debris tore into the station and threatened our hero.

The commander seemed unconcerned about the damage to the space station, and showered “me” with unearned praise.

“You’ve made it, ISS Houston EV1. Station systems are stabilizing. Great job!” he said.

The Chinese tourists and I agreed that, while we craved a little more interactivity, the ride was pretty cool

I took three gut-churning rides in the Smithsonian’s interactive flight simulators.

They were, hands down, the most fun of all the VR experiences. These two-seater capsules put you in the pilot’s seat of a fighter jet chasing down enemy airplanes. Using two joysticks, you control your plane’s direction, speed and weaponry. Meanwhile, the capsule mimics the movement of the aircraft, even completing full barrel rolls at your behest.

My first go-round, I failed to shoot down a single bad guy because I had the button for throttle confused with the trigger. I tried again, and was very proud to blow out of the sky

a grand total of two generic fighter planes. (The record is 21, my ticket seller said.)

For my third ride, I tried a variation that put me in the middle of World War II, in a propeller-driven aircraft.

Without heat-guided missiles, I found myself utterly unable to shoot down a single Nazi plane.

The maker of the rides, Pulseworks, is considering creating fighter pilot simulators that use Oculus Rift-like headsets, CEO Raj Deshpande said. His team is also working on making the astronaut simulator more interactive by letting riders manipulate objects, perhaps with special gloves.

Bottom line All of these Smithsonian rides are good fun, and a portion of the ticket sales goes toward supporting the museums.

So give them a try — though not right after lunch, unless you think your stomach is as strong as mine.

The weird ways of Sylvan Esso

According to Amelia Meath, it takes a year to make an album. Or at least, “It takes a year to make 10 songs I’m proud of.” The 28-year-old singer-songwriter, above left, and bandmate Nick Sanborn — aka the electronic pop duo Sylvan Esso — spent most of 2016 working on their sophomore album, “What Now,” released in April. Over Sanborn’s densely layered beats, Meath meditates on fame, an all-consuming romantic love and loss. Those 10 songs that made Meath proud came about through an agonizing writing process — but she’s used to it. “Every time, I’m amazed I can write songs,” she says. “For each song, I spend a good two weeks being like, ‘You have nothing!’ ” The duo’s international tour, which stops at 9:30 Club this weekend, seems like the easy part.

How does a Sylvan Esso song get made?

Particularly on this record, it was infinitely more collaborative than the first one, because we were more comfortable with each other. Dude, like every time I present a song to Nick, I have to legit stand in front of him and sing — it’s so embarrassing.

Sometimes you have one idea for a phrase, and you do it, then it doesn’t feel right, and then you table it for two years, and then you find it in a voice memo and just put it in another song.

Like those drumbeats in [album closer] “Rewind” — Nick wanted me to write to those for a year and I thought they were total bulls---.

And then I wrote that song and pasted those drums over it, and they worked. Our collaboration is really weird that way.

Are you two just getting in each other’s heads more these days?

Totally. We do hang out legit all the time — we’re in a band. We at least need to be able to make

jokes about poop with each other to be in a band.

How did you want the glitchy, mechanical-sounding “Sound” to welcome the listener to this album?

The thing that I love about it is that the first sound you hear on the record, other than popping and hissing, is my voice tuning a Korg MS-20, which is an old synthesizer. So instead of a machine tuning me, I’m tuning a machine.

Which is one of the major themes of the record, in my mind: the interaction between humans and technology right now.

The last time you were at the 9:30 Club, in 2015, you played one of this album’s singles, “Kick Jump Twist.” How has that song changed since then?

Oh, it changed a lot. It could only work live [at first] — that song has a bunch of bass drops, which is essentially like rock candy for shows; everyone loves it. Then we started to record it and it didn’t

make any sense. It takes a huge amount of time in the studio to figure out the energetic arc of a song, and “Kick Jump Twist” just didn’t make sense. There’s something about playing live, you can really conduct the energy through [a set]. But when it’s on a record, one song ends and another one begins, so you have to keep on restarting that energy.

You’re quite vocal about your political views online. How did your reaction to world events make its way onto the album?

When we were writing the record, hundreds of young black men were shot. We were using drones for warfare, and everyone still wasn’t out of Guantanamo.

The pre-chorus of “Radio” is “While the world riots on/ We’re so happy to be listening to our radio.” So yes, it is political, but I don’t aspire to write politically driven songs. Which might totally change. I’m definitely going to figure out a song about abortion.

Tracy Chevalier moved the tale to a schoolyard in D.C. for ‘New Boy’ BOOKS William Shakespeare’s “Othello” is the story of a black man — that would be Othello — who arrives in Venice, marries a white woman and then is manipulated into believing that she’s cheating on him.

Convinced of her guilt, he smothers her; after it’s revealed that she’s innocent, he kills himself.

So when historical novelist Tracy Chevalier got her chance to update the story, she decided the perfect setting would be … an elementary school playground.

Chevalier (“Girl With a Pearl Earring”) chose “Othello” as part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project, a series of books by modern authors that place some of

Shakespeare’s best-known works in modern times. Chevalier’s contribution is her latest novel, “New Boy,” excerpts from which she will read and discuss at the Folger Shakespeare Library on Thursday.

“It was surprisingly simple,” Chevalier says of moving the Bard’s story to the playground of a D.C. elementary school in the 1970s. “I decided that the issues of the play are about an outsider and how a society treats someone who is different from them. And the thing about playgrounds is they’re kind of an enclosed world and everything is heightened there.”

In “New Boy,” the Othello character is Osei, a diplomat’s son who has lived all over the world.

Osei becomes smitten with Dee, one of the school’s popular girls — much to the consternation of playground bully Ian. Ian sets

Her ‘Othello’ update was child’s play

Tracy Chevalier says relocating “Othello” was “surprisingly simple.”

into motion a series of events that, over the course of one day, shatter the illusion that childhood is easy.

The time and the place of her novel are quite personal for Chevalier. “That’s when I was 11, and where I was when I was 11,” says the author, who grew up in Takoma and now lives in

London. “It’s a curious experience, being given characters in a story. I usually make it all up myself, and I thought, ‘I need to make something about this a Tracy novel.’ So a way of doing that was making the setting be a part of my background.”

Chevalier chose D.C. for other reasons. Shakespeare’s play starts in Venice, which “at the time was seen as a sophisticated trading city,” she says. “I thought Washington would work as a stand-in for Venice; at the time, [D.C.] was a more international city than a lot of other places. And yet people still [had] a hard time accepting people who [were] different from them. There’s something about D.C. that has a veneer of being influential and political and international, but it was a surprisingly provincial place.”

Setting “New Boy” 40 years ago

“There’s something about D.C. that has a veneer of being influential and political and international, but it was a surprisingly provincial place.”

TRACY CHEVALIER, author of the “Othello”-inspired novel “New Boy”

also gave Chevalier and her readers a small gift. “It’s such a powerful story and it’s so painful,” she says. “I wanted to be able to give us all a little bit of distance.”

Michal (Noa Koler) has everything but the groom in “The Wedding Plan.”

‘The Wedding Plan’ “Speed dating” takes on a whole new meaning with “The Wedding Plan,” the latest film from writer-director Rama Burshtein. Set in one of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox communities (Burshtein, who also wrote and directed 2012’s lovely “Fill the Void,” is herself an Orthodox Jew), it’s the story of Michal (Noa Koler), who is all ready to get married. Then, 30 days before the wedding, her fiance pulls out. That doesn’t discourage Michal, who decides that if she buys the dress, books the location and designs the invitations, God will provide the groom. It’s a funny, sweet look at love in an insular community. Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; opens Fri.,

You might not like the Grateful Dead, but those who do really, really, really like the Grateful Dead. Those people will want to check out “Long Strange Trip,” the first full-length documentary about the band’s 30-year journey. The four-hour 2017 film includes new interviews with the surviving band members, their crew and notable Deadheads, with a special emphasis on the late Jerry Garcia. If nothing else, the soundtrack should be pretty good. Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; Thu., 7:05 p.m., $15. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Mon., 2:15 & 7:15 p.m., $15.

‘Sabrina’

As part of its celebration of the work of Audrey Hepburn, the Miracle Theatre is showing one of her most charming pictures. Billy Wilder’s 1954 classic “Sabrina” (which was remade into a pretty good 1995 film) is the story of a chauffeur’s daughter (Hepburn) who returns home from France with a makeover so potent it means she can steal the heart of wealthy David (William Holden at his hottest). David’s older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) has a problem with that, so he decides to fall in love with her himself.

Often dubbed the Queen of R&B, Mary J. Blige has left her mark on contemporary music. Since her debut album “What’s the 411?” in 1992, Blige has dropped a number of hits, including “Real Love,” “No More Drama” and “Be Without You.” Her latest album, last month’s “Strength of a Woman,” includes guest spots from Kanye West and Missy Elliott, among other high-profile names.

Miles Mosley Songbyrd Music House, 2477 18th St. NW; Sat., 7 p.m., $15-$18.

Bassist Miles Mosley comes out of the West Coast Get Down, a musical collective that includes saxophonist Kamasi Washington.

Mosley, who has worked in pop (Christina Aguilera), soul (Gnarls Barkley) and hip-hop (Kendrick Lamar), makes music that often feels like hard-charging, hardedged funk. But not always: “More Than This,” a lament about a better world, from his recent album “Uprising,” is like churchy, bluesy soul.

New York comic Janelle James was recently seen as part of a montage of comedians roasting President Trump during Samantha Bee’s “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.” So you know where her political views land. For a taste of her stand-up, you can check out her appearance on Seeso’s “Night Train With Wyatt Cenac.” The laid-back, confessional comedian also has the Chris Rock stamp of approval, as James has been opening for him on his “Total Blackout” tour.

Then, on last year’s “It Is.,” JMSN added strings and horns to the mix for a lusher, funkier sound. It’s an approach he

—The Times (London)

An “audacious, uproarious black comedy” (NY Times) flips the script on gender power dynamics and asks: how do we heal when our politics divide us?

Instead, the band, led by singer Jonsi Birgisson, above, is devoting the night to two sets of music as a trio — hitting on songs from throughout its extensive career. On Thursday, the tour rolls into Merriweather Post Pavilion for an evening of music under the stars.

One yuuuuge year for ‘SNL’ Trump called it ‘terrible,’ but it went on to have a record-breaking season

A refreshing, funny story on ‘Master of None’

Here is the entire 42nd season of “Saturday Night Live” in a nutshell.

bread-and-butter during presidential campaign season. Remember Al Gore’s “lockbox”? Or the uncanny resemblance Tina Fey bore to Sarah Palin? But the political material tends to taper after Election Day. Not this season. Almost every cold open — the sketch that kicks off the show — included impersonations of Trump or lampooned his administration.

Resident Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin played him in all but three of them.

But for all the public perception that “SNL” is on a crusade to get Trump — a view the president himself has voiced — executive producer Lorne Michaels has been steadfast in saying that his show’s mission is to create laughs, not political change.

Michaels delivered a message following Election Day to the folks who work on “SNL”: “Half the country voted for Trump, and our show’s for those people as well,” the show’s Kent Sublette recalled to The Hollywood Reporter. “We’re professionals and we have to do our job, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

This season, “SNL” had a few sketches that directly mocked liberals, such as one with Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock at an Election Night party, and another about a literal bubble for “like-minded freethinkers … and no one else.” And the show has made fun of Hillary Clinton, ribbing the Democratic candidate as robotic and awkward in her attempts to relate to the public.

This season also ended with

some cast departures: Bobby Moynihan, Vanessa Bayer and Sasheer Zamata. In addition to such vacancies, there’s still the question of how “SNL” will tackle politics in its 43rd season. This year’s biggest political sketches — with Baldwin as Trump and McCarthy as Spicer — featured guests, not regular cast members.

Baldwin told The Atlantic that playing Trump is “exhausting.”

But he also told The Hollywood Reporter that he’ll figure out a way to keep doing it: “If I’m doing a film in Rome in the fall, you can bet I’m going to be on a satellite from Rome doing Trump.”

Maybe by then audiences will finally tire of politics in their comedy shows. But at this rate, it doesn’t look that way.

COMEDY

Netflix nabs an Ellen DeGeneres stand-up special

Ellen DeGeneres will headline a stand-up comedy special for Netflix, the streaming service announced Wednesday. The event will mark the comic’s first stand-up comedy special since 2003. “It has been 15 years since I did a stand-up special. 15 years,” DeGeneres said in a statement. “I’m writing it now, I can’t wait. I’ll keep you posted when and where I’m gonna shoot my Netflix special. I’m excited to do it; I’m excited for you to see it.” (EXPRESS)

London’s May 31 premiere of “Wonder Woman” canceled in wake of Manchester terror attack

NBC

TELEVISION He spent months as the butt of “Saturday Night Live” jokes. He hate-tweeted his displeasure. So why couldn’t he stop watching?

“Frankly, the way the show is going now, and you look at the kind of work they’re doing, who knows how long that show is going to be on?” Donald Trump, then president-elect, told Matt Lauer in December. “It’s a terrible show.”

Last Saturday, “SNL” concluded its most-watched season in 23 years, drawing an average of 10 million viewers, with Saturday’s episode the most-watched season finale in six years. These are feats “SNL” accomplished while ratcheting up the political material and going hard in the paint on Trump jokes.

“SNL” mounted a 42nd season chock-full of celebrity guests, highly anticipated hosts and sketches that broke out of the realm of pop culture to become politically relevant as well. Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer impersonation prompted reports that the actual White House press secretary’s longevity in the job would be threatened by it. Ivanka Trump answered criticisms that she wasn’t a moderating force in her father’s administration, but a “complicit” one — framing captured in an “SNL” video short with Scarlett Johansson.

L a mpooni ng politicia ns h as a lways been “ S N L’s”

STREAMING The “Religion” episode in the latest season of “Master of None” kicks off with a sweet, funny and totally relatable series of scenes: Christian, Hindu and Jewish kids all complaining to parents about having to go to their regular religious services.

Then we see Aziz Ansari’s character, Dev Shah, as a kid who gets his first taste of bacon at a friend’s house. When his mom calls the house and tells her son, “We’re Muslim — we’re not allowed to eat pork,” little Dev hesitates. But he can’t resist. Dev takes a bite as Tupac’s “Only God Can Judge Me” begins to play.

This is the kind of treatment we’ve come to expect from the critically acclaimed Netflix series co-created by Ansari and Alan Yang. “Master of None” presents universal stories within specific contexts that we rarely see on film or TV. The result is refreshing, precisely because it is normal and grounded in reality.

“It isn’t really specific to a religion,” Yang says about the episode. “It’s about how you interact with your parents and how much leeway they give you, and how much of yourself you give to them.”

We don’t get a clear-cut answer from the show, but it does strive for mutual understanding. “The more open-minded you can be, the better,” Yang adds. “One of the undercurrents that runs throughout the show is just a curiosity about other people and other people’s lives.” E.H.

trending “She is the master of the side eye.

And so adorable, then and now!”

JENNY WILKIE, commenting on Facebook on a BuzzFeed article about the real girl behind the “side-eye Chloe” meme. In 2013, Chloe became a meme when her parents filmed her and her sister Lily finding out they were ditching school and going to Disneyland. Lily cried, while Chloe just looked confused and unamused. Her face became a hit meme, synonymous with the phrase “could you not.” This week, Chloe’s mom posted on Instagram that Chloe was at a Google event in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where her iconic meme is featured in a Google ad campaign. The family posted the photo to the right, of Chloe four years later, happily holding a picture of herself as a meme.

“I’m sorry but this is a parenting issue. These are not toys for five year olds.

They shouldn’t be letting their young children near something that is a choking hazard.”

RYAN DUGAN, a commenter at buzzfeed.com, disagreeing with an Oregon mom who wants fidget spinners recalled because her 5-year-old swallowed a loose part from one. The woman says the ubiquitous gadgets pose a choking hazard and aren’t properly labeled.

“Pope Francis looks like he is doing this for penance.” @JULIAMACFARLANE, joking about the photo of President Trump meeting Pope Francis, along with Ivanka and Melania Trump.

Trump’s gleeful smile juxtaposed against Francis’ solemn mug went viral, inspiring a lot of jokes. Twitter users said the photo looked like a scene out of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” or “The Godfather III.”

“Top Gun 2 is officially happening.

Premise: Tom Cruise battles rude United Airlines flight attendants on a cross country flight.” @ANDYRUTHER, sharing a possible

plot for “Top Gun 2” after Tom Cruise announced that a sequel to the 1986 film is in the works. @Mattdpearce tweeted another possibility: “All the students are drones. [Tom Cruise] is the only actor in the movie.”

“What a mother will do for their kids — great the university recognized that dedication.”

DIFFICULT

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may feel as though you’ve been backed into a corner, but there is a way out that you haven’t found yet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may have grown tired of the same old thing, but you cannot get away from it until you do something that you don’t want to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are more able than most to see the silver lining in the cloud hovering above you, but that doesn’t mean you know how to reveal it to others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may be grasping at straws throughout the day. One of them is bound to pay off eventually — although not as you might expect.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Things are

changing quickly all around you, and you must be ready to make a decision just as quickly when the time comes.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re likely to be in rare form as you present yourself and your ideas to one who is in a position to give you a head start.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The more you do for others, the more you will be doing for yourself — and it doesn’t work the other way around.

You may see only a fragment of what stretches out before you, but this will give you a good idea of what to do when given the chance.

TODAY: Low pressure lingers nearby, keeping us partly to mostly cloudy, and continuing the chance of showers with some afternoon thunderstorms possible. With enough sun peeking through, we should get into the mid-70s, with some humidity to boot. Shower and storm chances diminish during the evening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re in no mood for crowds. Rather than face what you know will rub you the wrong way, why not invite a loved one on a secret outing?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) It’s a good time to closely examine your motives. You can discover something about yourself that will get you fired up.

Ariana Grande has suspended her “Dangerous Woman” world tour, and canceled shows in London and other European cities through June 5 due to the deadly bombing at her concert in Manchester, England. “We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence,” her team said in a statement. The star has since returned to her home state of Florida to be with family.

“From the bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry,” Grande tweeted Monday night. “I don’t have words.” (AP/EXPRESS)
