Is the first family headed to Kalorama?
Politico reported Wednesday that the Obamas plan to lease a ninebedroom mansion in Kalorama.
said if the reports are true, “He couldn’t have picked a better neighborhood for his family.” The mansion’s owners, President Bill Clinton’s former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart and his wife, live in New York, where he works for the NFL. The White House declined to comment on the possibility of the Obamas renting the property, first reported by Politico.
New parents seek two-bedroom in Bethesda for daughter to call home.
An individual familiar with the Obamas’ plans said they had started their housing search and were currently looking at rental properties in a number of Washington neighborhoods, including Kalorama. The individual wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly. It was unclear whether the Obamas had settled on the Kalorama property and formally leased it or whether they were still considering other options. Obama’s aides and friends have been reluctant to discuss his plans in light of the intense security preparations the U.S. Secret Service must undertake to ensure the first family can be adequately protected while living in a private home. Obama has said publicly he and his family plan to stay in D.C. after leaving the White House until their younger daughter, 14-year-old Sasha, graduates from high school.

A fix for I-270 traffic could get you $100M Md. offers reward for high-tech solution to the highway’s gridlock
TRANSPORTATION
Local leaders take steps on Metro safety MANUEL BALCE CENETA (AP)
MARYLAND Highway agencies trying to ease traffic jams usually come up with their method of choice — widen a road, expand an intersection, retime traffic signals — and then ask companies for their best price. But Maryland’s highway agency is about to try a new approach, one that state officials believe is a first in the country. The state will set the price — in this case, at $100 million — and ask companies to propose new high-tech ways they could reduce gridlock on Interstate 270, one of the most congested highways in the Washington suburbs. Unlike most government solicitations, the state will provide few specific requirements beyond its main directive: make traffic flow faster. “This is purely a performancebased procurement,” said Maryland Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn. “Whoever can move the most traffic the furthest will be selected to implement their design.” Rahn said he doesn’t know what to expect but hopes the bidders come up with solutions that state engineers haven’t even dreamed of. The request for proposals will be released in June, he said, but a timeline for

the project hasn’t been finalized. Rahn said he believes this will be the first transportation procurement in the country that is completely open to new ideas, rather than rooted in a government-scripted plan. Even designbuild contracts, in which bidders propose to build off their own designs, typically include a host of government requirements. He said he believes the solicitation also will be unique because it won’t require bidders to have done a certain amount of work in the state or in the country. “We’re not excluding anything,” Rahn said Tuesday. “We’re telling the world, ‘It doesn’t matter if you’ve worked in Maryland or even in the U.S. If you’ve gotten traffic to move in
Shanghai or anywhere else, you can make it work here.’ ” As a major artery in Maryland, I-270 connects the Capital Beltway in Bethesda with farther-out suburbs north of Washington. The 35-mile highway extends through Montgomery County and north to Frederick, Md., serves as a focal point for the region’s biotech companies, and carries commuters from more affordable housing into downtown Washington and other job centers. It’s a rare morning or evening traffic report that doesn’t include backups on I-270. The work will be part of a nearly $2 billion transportation package that Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced to much fa n fa re i n Ju ne. KATHERINE SHAVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The House voted 240 to 179 to strike down the 2013 ballot measure, saying the District overstepped its legal authority — and the U.S. Constitution — by trying to excise Congress from the city’s budget process.

local Man charged with April rape on Metro wanted for indecent exposure MONTGOMERY COUNTY A week before John Hicks allegedly raped a woman on a Red Line Metro train last month, Transit Police identified him as a suspect in an indecent-exposure incident on the same line but did not immediately seek to arrest him, court records show. An eyewitness had captured the incident on video and reported it to police. Hicks, 39, now jailed in
Montgomery County, was arrested and charged in the April 12 rape the same day it occurred aboard a moving train in the Wheaton-Glenmont area at midmorning. Metro Transit Police said in a court affidavit that they swiftly identified Hicks through surveillance video, the rape victim’s recollection and records from Hicks’ Metro SmarTrip card. The court records show that Metro police used the same methods — farecard data, video recordings and a witness account — to identify Hicks as a Red Line

A message from Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld If you could exit a station within 15 minutes without being charged, would that help you during a service disruption? Do you think SmarTrip® loading on Metrobus slows down your commute? These and other questions are what we are asking riders to comment on as part of this year’s public comment period on Metro’s budget.
It’s an important first step in making sure that customers are given the opportunity to weigh in on the improvements and investments that Metro is planning, and we value the input from our riders and stakeholders. All comments will be shared with Metro’s Board of Directors prior to its consideration of the proposed budget in the coming weeks.
The budget is an annual investment in the day-to-day operations of the entire system and the capital improvements that will continue to improve safety and provide more reliable service for the region.
I continue to listen and learn from people about their experiences on Metro. I’ve heard loud and clear that we must improve safety, security and reliability.
Over the last few weeks, Metro has been encouraging the public to provide feedback on the proposed Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for the next fiscal year.
We want to hear from you.
While you won’t find any mention of a fare increase in this year’s budget proposal, we would like your input on a few initiatives that are being considered:
•
The elimination of SmarTrip® loading on Metrobus
•
A discounted University Pass (U-Pass) for full-time students at accredited colleges
•
A bus/rail combo pass, which would add free bus service to the existing 7-day short trip rail pass
•
A no-charge, same station entry/exit 15-minute grace period
I encourage you to complete an online survey at wmata.com/budget or email comments to writtentestimony@wmata.com as there is still time to make your voice heard on these key initiatives and others that are being proposed in the FY17 budget.
Metro begins major project to improve radio, cell phone coverage
Amplify community is expanding
Metro has begun a massive capital improvement project to install special radio cable along 100 miles of tunnel walls, allowing cell phone service between underground stations and better radio communication for Metro workers and emergency responders.
Amplify is the newest way that Metro is engaging customers by bringing together riders, transit advocates and experts in an ongoing digital forum. Metro has just expanded participation in the Amplify community to enable participation from beyond the transit zone. Residents in the following counties are encouraged to register today:
Thanks to a new agreement with the major wireless carriers, the project will be advanced using Metro-managed workers which will yield cost and efficiency benefits. As each segment of tunnel is wired, Metro will notify the wireless carriers of the completed segments. An outside expert was engaged this week to review Metro’s design and implementation plan to maximize the delivery of benefits and to accelerate the project schedule. To date, all 91 Metrorail stations, including 47 underground stations have been equipped with cell phone service.

AUSTIN, TEXAS Texas and 10 other states are suing the Obama administration over its directive to public schools to let transgender students use the bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. T he l awsu it a n nou nc ed Wednesday includes Oklahoma, Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Maine, Arizona, Louisiana, Utah and Georgia. It asks a North Texas federal court to declare the directive unlawful, in what ranks among the most coordinated and visible legal challenges by states over the socially
divisive issue of bathroom rights for transgender persons. The Obama administration has “conspired to turn workplace and educational settings across the country into laboratories for a massive social experiment, flouting the democratic process, and running roughshod over commonsense policies protecting children and basic privacy rights,” the lawsuit reads. Many of the states involved had previously vowed defiance, calling the guidance a threat to safety while being accused of discrimination by supporters of transgender rights who say the threat is nonexistent. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has previously said, “There is no room in our schools for discrimination.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announces Texas’ lawsuit against the Obama administration’s transgender order on Wednesday.
The White House had no comment on the lawsuit. The Justice Department said it would review the complaint.
Pressed about whether he knew of any instances in which a child’s safety had been threatened because of transgender bathroom rights, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said, “There’s not a lot of research.” He said his office has heard from concerned parents, and said he did not meet with any parents of transgender students before drafting the suit. The question of whether federal civil rights law protects transgender people has not been definitively answered and may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. But schools that refuse to comply could be hit with civil rights suits and could face a cutoff of federal aid to education.

TSA: Long lines likely to continue TRANSPORTATION Even with additional staffing help on the way, Americans could expect scant relief from long waits to clear security checkpoints, the head of Transportation Security Administration told Congress on Wednesday. With 97 million more passengers expected to pass through TSA screening this year than did three years ago, TSA Administrator Peter V. Neffenger said that adding several hundred new screeners, paying overtime and giving part-time TSA workers full-time jobs won’t be enough to make the long lines evaporate. Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Tex., opened Wednesday’s hearing by ticking off a list of recent TSA controversies: three-hour-long security lines, scores of passengers missing flights at various airports, passengers stranded overnight in Chicago, and an 80 percent increase in wait times at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. “The American people are fed up with this,” McCaul said. Neffenger said the situation has been exacerbated by his decision to end a practice that

allowed randomly selected passengers to pass through a special line reserved for those whose pre-flight background checks identified them as low risk. That decision was driven, in part, by a scathing inspector general’s report last year that said undercover federal investigators were able to slip weapons and phony bombs through the system more than 95 percent of the time. Neffenger said he has other plans to reduce long lines, including more dog teams trained to sniff out bombs, moving 20 percent of TSA’s trained screeners from part-time to full-time work, and promoting its PreCheck program, which allows pre-screened travelers to pass through special lines faster.

nation+world A dissident faction of Afghan insurgency rejects new leadership AFGHANISTAN A little-known extremist cleric was chosen Wednesday to be the new leader of the Afghan Taliban, just days after a U.S. drone strike killed his predecessor, Mullah Mohammed Akhtar Mansour, in Pakistan on Saturday. But within hours of the Taliban’s announcement of Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada as the new leader, opposition to him emerged — a sign that rifts within the insurgency could
widen and possibly drive the Taliban further from peace talks with the Afghan government. The announcement came as a suicide bomber struck a minibus carrying court employees in Kabul, killing at least 11 people, an official said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Hours after the Taliban announced their new leader, a main dissident faction that broke away last year to protest Mansour’s elevation said their group would not accept Akhundzada either. Mullah Abdul Manan Niazi said the faction would not accept Akhundzada’s leadership for the same reason they rejected

Cleric becomes new Taliban leader
Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada was announced the new leader of the Afghan Taliban on Wednesday.
Mansour: He was elected by a small clique of Pakistanbased insiders with little input from the rank-and-file or field
commanders in Afghanistan. Akhundzada, believed to be in his 50s, is a religious scholar who was the Taliban’s chief justice before his appointment as a deputy to Mansour. Known for his hawkish views and public statements justifying the Taliban’s extremist tactics, he was close to Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar, who consulted with him on religious matters. Akhundzada is expected to continue the aggressive style of Mansour, who refused to negotiate with the Kabul government and launched a series of bold attacks during his brief and divisive rule.

Just drive under buses, obviously TEB, or Transit Elevated Bus, is a massive 1,400-rider bus that can glide over traffic, and a model could be tested in China as soon as this summer, reports CityLab. A tiny version was unveiled at the 19th International High-Tech Expo in Beijing over the weekend. Similar to the design of a tunnel, the bus has a 7-foottall, two-lane-wide gap that vehicles can drive through. And with its own electric track, the bus will reduce carbon emissions, CitlyLab reports. (EXPRESS)

Clinton’s very bad day
Scathing State Department report on her email practices is a boon for adversaries
WASHINGTONPOST.COM POWERPOST
Why Trump’s anti-Martinez rant matters
TOMMASO BODDI (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
POLITICS One of the two big dominoes in the Hillary Clinton email controversy toppled Wednesday: The State Department’s inspector general released its report on the email practices of Clinton and a number of other past secretaries of state. The other major domino is, of course, the FBI investigation into Clinton’s decision to exclusively use a private email server while serving as the nation’s top diplomat. The report badly complicates Clinton’s past explanations about the server and whether she complied fully with the laws in place governing electronic communication. And it virtually ensures that Clinton’s email practices will be front and center in Donald Trump’s fusillade of attacks against her credibility and honesty between now and Nov. 8. The inspector general found that Clinton’s use of private email for public business was “not an appropriate method” of preserving documents and that her practices failed to comply with department policies meant to ensure that federal record laws are followed. The report says Clinton should have printed and saved her emails during her four years in office or surrendered her workrelated correspondence immediately upon stepping down in February 2013. Instead, Clinton provided those records in December 2014, nearly two years after leaving office. Clinton’s team has spent months casting the State Department Inspector General’s Office as overly aggressive and working hand in hand with congressional Republicans to cast the former secretary of state in the worst possible light. That’s a very hard story to sell given that the current inspector general was appointed

by President Obama. Then there is the argument that Clinton was far from the first secretary of state to use less-thanairtight methods to ensure the preservation and security of her email correspondence. As the IG report makes clear, she wasn’t. The 83-page report reviews email practices by five secretaries of state and generally concludes that record keeping has been spotty for years. It was particularly critical of former secretary of state Colin Powell — who has acknowledged that he used a personal email account to conduct business — concluding that he too failed to follow department policy designed to comply with public-record laws. There are two very important differences among Clinton, Secretary of State John F. Kerry, and former secretaries Powell and Condoleezza Rice when it comes to email practices. The first is that Clinton is the

OFF-LIMITS TOPIC: Clinton’s aides twice brushed aside concerns, in one case telling technical staff “the matter was not to be discussed further.” HACKING THREAT: Hacking attempts forced then-Secretary of State Clinton off email one day in 2011.

email address. Second, Clinton is the only one of that group who is currently running for president and the very likely nominee for one of the country’s two major parties. Because of her elevated status in our political world, she is — and should be — subject to more scrutiny than, say, Powell. That’s particularly true because Clinton has put her time at State at the center of her argument for why she should be elected president. For a candidate already struggling to overcome a perception that she is neither honest nor trustworthy, the IG report makes that task significantly harder. Clinton remains blessed that Republicans are poised to nominate Donald Trump, a candidate whose numbers on honesty, trustworthiness and even readiness to lead are worse than hers. But Trump’s task of casting her as “Crooked Hillary” just got easier. CHRIS CILLIZZA (THE WASHINGTON POST)
The riff highlights the hollowness of Trump’s promises to unite the fractured Republican Party. He has routinely attacked GOP governors this year. But Martinez chairs the Republican Governors Association, one of the party’s most important organs.
Alienating Latinos … Attacking the most prominent Latina in his party will make Hispanic outreach even harder. The criticism, mixed with his tone-deaf outreach (he loves taco salads!) — means that whatever else he may have to say will fall on deaf ears.
… and women The attack illustrates why Trump is on track to get clobbered among women. Martinez is not just Hispanic; she’s also New Mexico’s first female governor. Other women were in Trump’s sights, too, and his language was quite gendered. JAMES HOHMANN

Thunder coach Billy Donovan has made all the right moves this postseason.
THREE POINTERS
MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ (AP)
Key points at practice
Donovan’s bright ideas Thunder coach has let his stars speak their minds and is pushing all the right buttons NBA PLAYOFFS Midway through the second quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, Thunder star Russell Westbrook walked over to his team’s bench. First talking to assistant coach Maurice Cheeks, and then to head coach Billy Donovan, Westbrook said: “Take him out.” The “him” Westbrook was referring to was Thunder big man Enes Kanter, a skilled offensive player and rebounder who struggles at times defensively. After a brief consultation with Cheeks, Donovan called for Andre Roberson to replace Kanter. A moment like this could be perceived as a player dictating to his coach how the team should be run. But for the Thunder, and for
Westbrook, Donovan and Kevin Durant, specifically, it was a moment that signified how much the relationship between Donovan and his team has progressed over the course of this season — Donovan’s first as an NBA coach. “I’ve tried to foster that kind of stuff because … I don’t want them to feel like they can’t come to me,” Donovan said after Oklahoma City’s 118-94 win, which gave the Thunder a 3-1 series lead. “I want Kevin and Russell and those guys that have been here and have invested so much to be able to communicate with me, and I want to be able to go to them.” Over the past few weeks, any lingering doubts about Donovan have evaporated. “It’s definitely gotten better,”
Westbrook said of the relationship between Donovan and his team. “Obviously with the [coaching] change, we all had to adjust. … I think it’s been great.” Tactically, Donovan has been brilliant during these playoffs. His decision to play Kanter alongside center Steven Adams — and instead of longtime starter Serge Ibaka — for extended periods of time against the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals was a master stroke, allowing the Thunder to hammer the Spurs inside and paving the way for Oklahoma City to claim the series in six games. After Kanter played so well against San Antonio, Donovan has all but benched him in this series, instead opting to play a
small-ball lineup featuring Durant at power forward and Ibaka at center for extended minutes the past two games. That lineup has destroyed the Warriors and their own small-ball formation. Oklahoma City has outscored Golden State 91-35 in the 26 minutes the Thunder has had its small-ball lineup on the court. Donovan’s ability to dramatically extend and decrease players’ minutes illustrates how he has earned the trust of a group that believes in his decisions. Oklahoma City has never been more unified and cohesive than it is right now. And, because of it, the Thunder could make the NBA Finals with a win tonight (9, TNT) at Golden State.

The Redskins’ first offseason practices are this week, so here are a few things to watch as the team installs its schemes and tinkers with position changes prior to the start of training camp in July. (THE WASHINGTON POST)
3 Who’s ready to play? LB Junior Galette tore his Achilles at training camp last year but has worked his way back to nearly full strength. The Redskins will be cautious with him, guard Shawn Lauvao and TE Niles Paul.
2 Will Jackson be here? This was a big storyline last year, as WR DeSean Jackson wasn’t around for voluntary events and got off to a slow start, pulling his hamstring during the season opener.
1 Cousins’ growth Kirk Cousins, 27, was Robert Griffin III’s backup this time last year, but he’s clearly the QB in charge now. Multiple players have already praised his leadership.
REDSKINS
Player: No talk of new poll in locker room
Last week’s Washington Post poll that found 9 in 10 Native Americans aren’t offended by the Redskins team name caused a lot of chatter among media. It did not, however, cause a similar stir in the Redskins’ locker room, according to at least one player. “None,” said rookie Su’a Cravens, when asked on PFT Live whether the poll prompted locker room conversation. “I mean, that’s all for the public to speak about, and that’s all opinion.” (THE WASHINGTON POST) Mike Tyson calls proposal to let pro fighters in Olympics “ridiculous”

Watt says he’s ready to party in Nashville
Nationals outfielder Michael Taylor gets thrown out trying to steal second in Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to the Mets.
Wright: Nats-Mets won’t be a one-sided matchup Season’s second series shows there’s not much that separates teams METS 2, NATIONALS 0 The Nationals and Mets won’t meet again for another month, plenty of time for the half-game between them atop the NL East standings to widen. But if the past six games in nine days revealed one thing about these contenders, it’s that simply not much separates them. The Mets’ 2-0 win Wednesday evened the season series at three games apiece. Nationals starter Tanner Roark was solid, but two mistakes — one compounded by Daniel Murphy’s error — were too many to overcome for an offense lulled to sleep by Steven Matz.
5-1
The Nationals produced only four hits over eight innings against the Mets’ left-handed starter. “You don’t see many lefties like that,” Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. “That’s probably one of the better games we’ve seen this year.” After Michael Taylor’s leadoff single in the third inning, Matz retired 16 straight Nationals. The Nationals were without two top-of-the-lineup hitters — Bryce Harper and Ben Revere — who were each given days off. Baker felt the slumping Harper needed a mental day of rest, while Revere had played a lot since his return from an oblique injury earlier this month. “It was tough to sit Bryce, but you gotta sit him sometime,” Baker said. “It was a thing where
you don’t really sacrifice a game necessarily, but you’re hoping that one game will pay dividends for the next 10-15 games.” Harper came up in a key spot in the eighth inning as a pinch hitter with Clint Robinson on first and two outs. But he ended the inning with ground out to shortstop Matt Reynolds. “I don’t foresee this being a one-sided affair this year,” Mets third baseman David Wright said. “We’re evenly balanced. We both have very, very good starting rotations. The back end of the bullpens for both teams have been very good. Offensively I think we can do some things better to be a little more consistent, but two very evenly matched, very, very good baseball teams.”
The CMT Awards show will be hosted by a Texan this year. Never mind that he’s originally from Wisconsin, J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans has been chosen to co-host the annual show next month along with last year’s co-host Erin Andrews of Fox Sports. Not that Texans fans should be concerned, but he sounds pretty smitten with Nashville, which also happens to have an NFL team. “Having presented at the CMT Awards last year, I got a first-hand look at the energy and excitement of the event,” Watt said in a statement. “There are two things that I know about the people of Nashville … they love country music and they know how to throw a party.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

But earlier this week, organizer Amanda MacKaye posted a note on Fort Reno’s website assuring fans that the nearly 50-year-old tradition will return in July, with a full schedule of free shows on Mondays and Thursdays coming soon.

George Washington’s Distillery and Gristmill sites u n s ee n
The distillery
18th-century Virginians glugged G.W.’s whiskey — and you can, too!
RUSS FLINT
Should disaster cast the U.S. back to pre-Industrial Revolution conditions, you could do worse than resettle at a living history attraction. Where else will you find a working non-electric kitchen, plus agricultural infrastructure and a staff who might shelter you in exchange for the antibiotics you’ve been hoarding? Mount Vernon is your best bet locally, and not just because you can sleep in George Washington’s bedroom. Its distillery and gristmill mean you won’t run out of booze.
Like the gristmill, the distillery is a functioning reproduction of the long-gone original. Copper stills loom in the dim interior, emitting strong fragrances. Last week, the distillery was making peach brandy, a libation Martha Washington enjoyed. (The room smelled of peaches the way lemon-scented household cleaning products smell of lemon.) The whiskey went to Alexandria merchants and taverns, in barrels. “So did George have a keg in his house?” asked a saucy tourist. No, he didn’t partake of his wares, preferring beer or Madeira wine.
In the gift shop The gristmill
Whiskey made on-site is sometimes in stock. (It’s also served at the Mount Vernon Inn.) As neither a $98 bottle of unaged rye or a $188 bottle of aged rye were expense-report-appropriate, we bought an $8 bag of hot-off-thegristmill grits. Sample taster comments: “rustic,” “so THAT’S why grits are called GRITs.” HOLLY J. MORRIS (EXPRESS) THE WASHINGTON POST
Completed in 1771, the gristmill was Washington’s entree into the profitable flour-making business. In the historically accurate new version, four fearsome millstones grind wheat, corn, rye and barley for flour, grits, cornmeal, whiskey and other gift-shop items. On a tour last week, the miller admitted that, though the mill itself is fully hydropowered, the water turning its wheel is recirculated with a modern-day pump. So much for that post-collapse housing plan. Maybe Monticello has a gristmill and distillery? (It doesn’t.)
Inside George Washington’s distillery, sinister-looking copper stills brew authentic 18th-century booze. Guys in costume help the process along.
5513 Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, Alexandria; open April 1-Oct. 31, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., free with general Mount Vernon admission or $5 without; 703780-2000, mountvernon.org.
KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY FILM RIFFS
Somebody that I used to know In “X-Men: Apocalypse,” out Friday, the old group is back together, with some new merchandising opportunities — we mean important team players. But enough about those X’s. Movie exes can be pretty powerful too. JOEL AND CLEMENTINE:
In “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” Joel and Clementine live in a world where, after a breakup, you can annihilate any memory of your ex. That’s a bummer, because then who are you going to drunk-text? ROB AND LAURA ET AL.: After a bunch of breakups, Rob spends “High Fidelity” tracking down all his exes to find out what was wrong with their relationships. Shockingly, it was always him, since he’s the kind of guy who will track down all his exes to find out what was wrong with their relationships. COREY AND JOE: How none of Corey’s 65 songs about Joe ended up on the “Say Anything …” soundtrack is a mystery. MIRANDA AND DANIEL:

‘Weiner’ Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; opens Fri., $9.50-$12; Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema, 7235 Woodmont Ave.; opens Fri., $9-$11.50.
“Weiner” assures you that it’s OK to giggle at its title, since we’re all a little bit 12 inside. The documentary follows Anthony Weiner as he runs for mayor of New York City in 2013, two years after resigning from Congress over a sexting scandal. You can feel Weiner’s frustration as he attempts to focus on the issues, only to be asked at every stop about his digital dalliances. Then new revelations come to light, and what started out as a look at the media’s obsession with the sordid slowly morphs into a personality study of Weiner himself. By refusing to give any pat answers, “Weiner” leaves the audience asking why such a bright, passionate politician can’t seem to keep his pics to himself. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
Custody battles can get hairy. In the case of “Mrs. Doubtfire,” they can also get wigged, latexed and padded. JENNY AND MATT: It’s important to be honest when you need to dump someone. Unless, like in “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,” the dumpee has superpowers, in which case it’s important to lie and run like hell.

That’s bats&#% crazy! The Bowie Baysox keep things interesting with wild, wacky promotions ETC … One of the Bowie Baysox’s most popular recurring promotions is the team’s Star Wars Night, an annual event for the past decade. It’s so popular, in fact, it goes on whether the game does or not. “The first year, we had no idea what to expect. And then at 4 that afternoon, it started to pour,” says Chris Rogers, promotions manager for the Double A club associated with the Baltimore Orioles. “The only reason we opened the gate was because of the line we had outside. We had probably 1,500 to 2,000 people walk into the stadium and we didn’t play an inning of baseball.” Rogers, assistant general manager Phil Wrye and marketing director Brandan Kaiser are the brains behind the Maryland team’s theme nights, giveaways and between-innings entertainment — and they like to keep things interesting. “We don’t want to be the place that just shoots fireworks,” Wrye says. “We have 71 games a year, and we’ve got to put on a different show every game.” The more offbeat their idea, the more likely it is to get noticed by people who may not be at all interested in the game on the field. “There are times when I look around this room and want to ask, ‘Do you realize we’re getting paid to talk about Back Hair Appreciation Day?’ ” Wrye says. That celebration of posterior fur — where the hairiest fans who are brave enough get complimentary back waxes on top of the team’s dugout — returns for a second year on July 21. Other upcoming promotions include a Jennifer Appreciation Celebration (June 15) and a Jim Appreciation Celebration (July
BOWIE BAYSOX PHOTOS

The annual “Star Wars” event, when lightsabers get swung just as much as the bats, is a big hit with Baysox fans.
The fur really flew at last year’s inaugural Back Hair Appreciation Day.
14), when possessors of those lucky names get discounted tickets, and a David Bowie tribute night on July 22. The Bowie night is less a tribute to the singer, who died this year, and more a nod to the team’s phonetically challenging hometown name. “Half the country mispronounces our name anyway,” Rogers says. “We figured we’d embrace it.” Some of the team’s promotions, like a reading program associated with local schools, happen every year, and most are arranged far in advance during
the offseason. Still, the team can move fast to keep pace with what’s happening in the world outside the 10,000-seat Prince George’s Stadium. “[In April] there was a report that a meteorite hit in Bowie,” Wrye says. “As soon as we heard about it there were emails flying around asking, ‘What can we do with this?’ Everything from the absurd to the realistic came out. Mostly the absurd.” The report turned out to be incorrect, “but if it was a real meteorite, we would have done something.” (“I wanted to do it
anyway,” Rogers says.) This Friday, the Baysox are hosting their Giveaway Closet Cleanout, when the first 500 fans through the gates will get … something. “With promotional items that we’ve given away before, we may have extras,” Wrye says. “A box of that, three boxes of that, a few extra of these, and all of the sudden the room gets full and it’s time to do something. The stuff does better in fans’ hands than in our stairwell.” The success of the off-field antics is measured not by tickets sold (though that helps), but by how many people they reached and how much fun those people had — particularly those people who aren’t into baseball. “There are a lot of people that have never come through those gates before,” Kaiser says. “That’s big for us. We’re hoping we’re making new fans.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Hop on these pop-ups
Restaurant pop-ups are becoming a permanent part of Washington’s dining scene. Some feature guest chefs, while others are put on by the folks already in the kitchen. They can pop up in the truest sense of the phrase for just a day, or stick around a bit longer. Here’s a sampling of what’s scheduled in the coming months. BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST) Alex McCoy's Alfie's in Petworth, a pop-up itself, is hosting another project from the chef one day a week: Lucky Buns. The beer and burger concept will take over the Thai restaurant from noon to 9 p.m. on Sundays, beginning this weekend. 3301 Georgia Ave. NW.
Chef Tony Conte, above left, is turning over the six-seat counter and eight-seat communal table at his Inferno Pizzeria Napoletana to a "Pop-In" Chef Tasting Series. The two dinners ($65 for six to eight courses) will be reminiscent of the fine-dining fare Conte showcased at his former post at the Oval Room downtown. They take place on June 28

unlike the many cities where tourists freely intermingle with locals, D.C. keeps its visitors quarantined on the National Mall: 146 acres of manicured lawn where you can wear matching T-shirts without fear of ridicule. Or so I’ve heard. Like most locals, I shun well-touristed places like the Washington Monument, Arlington Cemetery and the line at Georgetown Cupcake. But I’ve started to wonder if I’m missing out. That’s why, in the guise of an ordinary tourist, I am going to visit all the places I’ve been avoiding and let you, dear reader, know whether they’re worth skipping brunch for. I also plan to meet actual tourists and report back on what D.C. looks like from the left side of the escalator. Watch for future installments of The Staycationer in Weekend Pass and at wapo.st/staycationer.

Is anything dorkier than a Segway? These little rolling platforms force riders to adopt the stiff, upright posture of a TV sitcom nerd and come with built-in fanny packs. That, combined with the fact that you can get a small used car for the same price, is perhaps why Segways never quite caught on among self-respecting adults. They are, however, perfect for another group of people. People who don’t mind looking silly, whose feet hurt from way too much walking and, most importantly, who yearn to dominate roadways and bike lanes in impenetrable, slowmoving masses: tourists. In the interest of journalism, I signed up for a sunset tour
of the monuments with City Segway Tours (502 23rd St. NW; tours depart 10 a.m.7 p.m., $65-$80), one of at least five Segway tour outfits in the city. Before we set off, we had to learn the basics of riding a Segway. They are as follows: Lean forward to go forward, lean back to stop, and lean left or right to turn. Not to brag, but my tour group mastered this complex protocol almost immediately. Once our guide, Dan, cleared us for the open road, we filed onto 23rd Street NW, the eight of us taking up the entire right lane. A car screamed past, its driver honking and flipping the bird. Dan had a suspiciously well-practiced response: “Yeah, Segways are awesome!” he said, giving the driver a thumbs-up. And they kind of are. From the vantage point of a car, a
bicycle or even a flea on the back of an elderly dog, they may not seem speedy. But by golly, when you’re on one with the wind in your hair, they practically fly. I felt like a winged Urkel as we zoomed toward the White House. My fellow tourists felt the rush, too. “Let’s start a Segway gang!” said a middle-aged woman with a blond ponytail. “We need a gang name!” “How about ‘Green Segs and Ham,’ ” her husband suggested. We arrived at the White House and parked in front of the statue of Andrew Jackson on a rearing horse. This was Dan’s cue to regale us with questionable facts. “Two hooves up is supposed to mean that a general died in battle,” he said. “Andrew Jackson wanted to look cool, so he changed the rules just

for himself.” I wanted to correct him, but stopped myself. There must, after all, be a reason the “hoof code” myth persists — even if it’s just to make boring military statues slightly less dull. From the White House, we headed down 15th Street NW to the Washington Monument, then to the Tidal Basin. I have to say, Segways are an excellent way to traverse this city of magnificent distances. Plus, you become something of an attraction yourself. As we rolled along, people took our picture and asked us questions. “Is that hard to drive?” one schoolkid asked me near the FDR Memorial. “No,” I said. “It’s super easy.” Three seconds later, I crashed into a security pylon. My tumble off the Segway was, I’m pretty sure, the highlight of at least one middle school’s entire Washington, D.C., field trip. I assured Dan I was OK, remounted my Segway, and sped away as quickly as possible to keep the children from collecting more footage of me for their YouTube channels, or whatever kids use to

cyberbully these days. Our final stop was the Lincoln Memorial, and any lingering embarrassment I felt was eclipsed by awe. From the feet of the Civil War colossus, the Washington Monument shone bone-white against the darkening sky. The Capitol building peeked out behind the great obelisk, glowing with a warm, inviting light, but so very far away, like a promise not yet fulfilled. We all seemed lost in thought as we rolled back to City Segway headquarters. Or perhaps we were just sleepy. In any case, I strongly recommend seeing the monuments at night
via Segway or, if you don’t want to pay, by bike. Shining in the moonlight — or more precisely, the Park Service’s ultra-bright, energy-efficient LEDs — the monuments and memorials become an alien landscape, a collection of sculptures and structures that are trying to tell us something, perhaps something important, about our stillfragile democracy. Or maybe they’re just there to make us thankful that, though we continue to be dorks, at least we are no longer in middle school. Next week: The Staycationer ascends to the summit of the Washington Monument.

2 BR, 1 bath, furnished, 1 square foot Elaborate dollhouses of bygone centuries were prized real estate EXHIBITS Long before Barbie’s pink plastic Dreamhouse was the standard, dollhouses weren’t just for kids. “There’s a history of women living out wish fulfillment through doll’s houses,” says Alice Sage, co-curator of the Victoria & Albert Museum of Childhood’s “Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse,” open now at the National Building Museum. Before the Industrial Revolution brought mass-produced dollhouses, the lady of the (nondoll) house might even show off
her mini-home at dinner parties, seeking to impress her guests. Spanning 300 years, “Small Stories” displays 11 dollhouses from the U.K. and one from the U.S., each set up to depict a period-accurate scene, such as a home childbirth, the aftermath of a robbery and a family readying for an air raid. Push a button and you can listen to a doll tell its story. Guests can perch on vintage furniture and talk on rotary phones in two supersized versions of dollhouse rooms. The exhibit concludes with artistic interpretations of the dollhouse by 24 American artists, many of them local. ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)
National Building Museum, 401 F St. NW; through Jan. 22, $10.
Tate Baby House, top Custom-built in Dorset, England, in 1760, this dollhouse (“baby house” is a synonym) stayed in the same family for five generations, passed down from mother to eldest daughter for 170 years. “It accrued layers of history, like normal homes do,” Sage says. “The dining room is original, the upstairs is from the 1830s and the dolls’ clothes were remade several times.” The house is filled with tables and chairs made by professional furniture makers and silverware cast by silversmiths. Because there was no standard for size, the wooden dolls interact with enormous vases and jugs.
Killer Cabinet House, bottom The unfortunately named Manchester, England, surgeon John Egerton Killer bought this house in the 1830s for his wife and daughters, who transformed it into the perfect example of a wish-fulfillment dollhouse, complete with footmen in bright red jackets hand-sewn by the Killer women. “Male servants were a status symbol at the time,” Sage says. “On the Killer family’s census forms, only female servants are listed, so these were aspirational.” As for the ornate, gilded wallpaper, “it was likely left over or maybe from samples,” Sage says. “It’s what wallpaper was really like in the 1840s.”

Hopkinson House, top Although it was made in the 1980s, this English-built dollhouse harks back to a London suburb during World War II. The house is packed with historical references and domestic trends of the era, including wicker furniture and a tiny record player and records. The dolls are bracing themselves for an air raid; teensy flashlights, ration books and gas masks set the scene. Upstairs, the children are packing their bags before being evacuated from the city.
Whiteladies House, bottom With its private swimming pool and covered garage, this modernist house looks more Los Angeles than London. Designed by British artist Moray Thomas in the early 1930s, it reflects the style of newly popular country villas in Hampstead, a London neighborhood known for its wealth and liberal politics. Such a home was too grand for Thomas’ taste. “She lived in an adorable little cottage herself,” Sage says. “This house is a record of how bright young things were living, the hipsters of the time.” Thomas painted tiny murals on the walls and made the lithe dolls out of pipe cleaners wrapped in medical bandages.

While running about 6 1 / 2 hours versus the original’s roughly 9 1 /2 hours, it boasts a brisker pace with a heightened focus on the suffering and triumphs of Kunta Kinte and his descendants, and pays less attention to Americans along the way. British-born Malachi Kirby plays the central role of Kunta Kinte, and remembers watching the original series for the first time three years ago. “It had a profound effect on me,” Kirby said. “It still affects the way I think and the way I navigate my way through life.” Rege-Jean Page, who plays Chicken George, a role originated
by Ben Vereen, said, “I think art that confronts dark passages and turns it in a way that develops our consciousness, our sense of identity, our future, is honorable. ... I don’t think it’s something to be avoided. I think it’s something to be taken with a great sense of responsibility.” Anna Paquin plays the small role of a Confederate officer’s fiancee, a performance she feels conveys an important message. “You can’t stand by and do nothing,” she said. “You’re not off the hook just because you weren’t the one wielding the whip. Inaction, just like action, can represent complicity.” FRAZIER MOORE (AP)

Judge: $140M verdict for Hulk Hogan will stay A Florida judge on Wednesday denied Gawker’s motion for a new trial and a reduction in the $140 million of damages in the Hulk Hogan sex-video case. Hogan sued Gawker after it posted a 2007 video of him having sex with Heather Clem, the wife of his then-best friend Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, a local Tampa DJ, who made the video. In March, a Pinellas County jury awarded Hogan $115 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages. (AP)

entertainment FILM “You think of a controlling person as a selfish person,” says Rebecca Miller, the writerdirector of “Maggie’s Plan,” “but it’s not necessarily the same thing at all.” Take Maggie, the titular planner played by Greta Gerwig. In the film, out Friday, Maggie meets John (Ethan Hawke), an aspiring novelist who feels underappreciated in his marriage to Georgette (Julianne Moore). Soon, Maggie starts an affair with John, who leaves his wife to marry her. “It’s not necessarily that she’s
looking for control for her own gain,” Miller says of Maggie. “She thinks, ‘I can fix him, I can help him write a great novel.’ And then all of the sudden there she is, really signed on, and she’s spending all her time working and making life possible for John and taking care of his kids.” After Maggie realizes that married life with John is not going to plan, she decides the best thing to do is to reunite him with his ex. “I hate waste,” Maggie explains, figuring that recycling a decent man like John is better than just tossing him.

“Her logic is ethically motivated,” Miller says. “She’s really telling the truth that is sort of oddly logical, even though it goes against all of our social norms.” The shifting of those norms is, for Miller, a central theme of the film. “Partly, this movie is about our particular modern confusion,” she says. “The rule book has been thrown out. There are all sorts of different ways of having a family and what family is. In a sense, the movie comes from a standpoint of not judging, but saying, ‘Here we are. This is us.’ ” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

@ARCHON reacts to the latest Captain
America update. In the newest comic book, “Captain America: Steve Rogers #1,” released Wednesday, Marvel reveals that the superhero has been a sleeper agent for Hydra, a fictional terrorist organization that’s closely associated with the Nazis, since the beginning of the series. Earlier this week, social media users began a campaign to give Captain America a boyfriend.
“This may only be a test but it is what the future has in store: more automation. And the higher the minimum wage, the faster this sort of technology is going to spread — thus destroying jobs.” TIM WORSTALL, at forbes.com, on Pizza Hut’s plan to test
using a robot to take customer orders in locations in Asia before the end of the year. The robot, developed by SoftBank and named “Pepper,” costs about $2,000 and would replace human workers at the fast-food chain. The experiment is taking place in association with MasterCard.
“Instead of spending time judging students for what they wear, how about we just worry about helping our students learn?” LISA ESTEP, in a Facebook post criticizing a North Carolina school district’s consideration of banning skinny jeans and leggings. Estep is one of the Wilmington-area district’s Board of Education members. Under the proposed rules, students could still wear tight-fitting pants if a top or dress covers “the posterior in its entirety.” The district said it proposed the ban in an effort to minimize bullying.

“I am not Tom Brady, and his book isn’t about to help me become like him. As discipline, TB12 is a little too much; as dinner, it’s much too little.” MICHAEL ANDOR BRODEUR, at bostonglobe.com, in a review of Tom Brady’s $200 cookbook, which sold out quickly after going on sale in early May. The “TB12 Nutrition Manuel” is handassembled and screw-bound between laser-etched maple covers and includes 89 recipes that require ingredients such as mung beans, oat flour and yuzu juice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your view of the future may be somewhat obscured, but that’s only because you’re fixating upon a certain episode from the past. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to take at least one more step forward before you stop and take in the view. You’ve been building momentum. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t let anyone pressure you into doing anything that you know is wrong. The time will come when you can explain your reasoning. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may be traveling down a path that makes you wonder if you’re really in control of your own destiny. Who is driving?

questions you’re asking have been asked before, but perhaps not in the same way — and that’s what makes all the difference.
TODAY: Some clouds today and increased humidity, with light winds from the south. Skies will be at least partly sunny, and it’s another warm one with highs back into the mid-80s to near 90. We’ll also have just enough moisture for the chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm in the late afternoon or evening.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may want to exert a new kind of control over your ambitions. Consider the needs of others before taking action. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your wishes may be granted, but you may actually find yourself in a difficult position as a result. ARIES (March 21-April 19) For whom are you doing what you are doing? It’s important to answer this question as honestly as you can before proceeding any further.
