Around “9 o’clock on a Saturday,” a group of New York commuters sang Billy Joel’s famous ballad “Piano Man.” A video posted on Twitter showed nearly everyone on a Long Island Railroad train singing in unison May 19. Professional tennis player Julia Elbaba, who posted the video, said she was talking with a man who mentioned he was in a Billy Joel tribute band. Elbaba said she sang a few bars with him and soon, the whole car was singing. (AP)
A man in Boyne Falls, Mich., punched and kicked a black bear that was attacking his beagle, UPI reported Wednesday. The man had let his dog out on a tether early one morning. Then he spotted a bear in his driveway. The dog barked, and the bear attacked it. “The dog owner kicked the bear. ... When the bear came back and bit the dog, the owner punched the bear in the nose,” the Michigan Department of Natural Resources wrote. (EXPRESS)
Many drivers near Raleigh, N.C., were not amused by hacked road warning of upcoming delays due to “---holes on bikes” or “idiots on bikes,” WTVD reported Tuesday. The signs originally notified drivers about a June 3 Ironman race that will lead to lane closures, but were replaced with the rather more hostile phrasings. “Seeing the signs like that, it just sends the wrong message,” said local bicyclist Gene Caffrey.

‘Curious’ Moke charms zoo NATIONAL ZOO “Curious” and “wiggly” is how keepers at the National Zoo in Washington describe its baby western lowland gorilla, Moke. The gorilla, now 5 weeks old, “continues to thrive” and is starting to develop his own personality, keepers said in a recent blog post. And he’s got two teeth coming in on his lower gums. A blog post by Melba Brown, a primate keeper at the zoo, describes Moke as being “a ball of energy” when he wakes up from a nap with a full belly. “He will wave his arms, stretch and look around the exhibit like he is ready to explore,” Brown wrote.
Moke, a male baby western lowland gorilla, is 5 weeks old.

Keepers: Infant gorilla is ‘a ball of energy’ and showing his personality
Still, his mom — Calaya — holds him close. She is still not comfortable “letting him explore on his own just yet,” Brown said. He sits up on his own, and keepers said they expect he will be on the move soon. “Everything’s going really well,” Zoo spokeswoman Devin

Murphy said of Moke’s first month. Calaya’s status in the gorilla troop has been elevated since she gave birth, zookeepers said. Moke joins his parents, plus a young female and an adult female in the zoo’s gorilla troop. There are also two male silverbacks
at the zoo. Calaya is very protective, even when Moke’s father, Baraka, comes near. The zoo said there was one recent morning when maintenance work was being done on the roof of the Great Ape House. Baraka didn’t like it and moved toward Calaya in an “alert state.” She barked at him, then ran toward him and smacked him, Brown wrote in her blog. He didn’t respond. Before Moke’s birth, zookeepers said, Baraka would have disciplined her after a scuffle, so experts said it is “quite interesting to see how the dynamic between them has changed since Moke’s arrival.” Keepers are watching to see how Calaya will react when Moke starts to crawl away from her in the coming months.

VIRGINIA The Virginia Senate voted Wednesday to make government health insurance available to 400,000 low-income residents, overcoming five years of GOP resistance. The decision marks a leftward shift in the legislature and an enormous win for Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, the pediatrician who ran on expanding access to health care. The House of Delegates still had to vote on the Senate’s plan, but it was not expected to have trouble clearing the lower chamber when it met after Express’ deadline. Virginia would join 32 other states and the District in expanding Medicaid coverage. It is expected to take effect Jan. 1. “This is not just about helping this group of people,” said Sen. Frank Wagner, one of four Republicans who split with their party to join Democrats and pass the measure by a 23 to 17 margin. “This is about getting out there and helping to bend the cost of health care for every Virginian. … It is the number one issue on our voters’ minds. By golly, it ought to be the number one issue on the General Assembly’s mind.” The unpopularity of President Trump in Virginia spurred some Republicans to switch their vote who might not have done so if Hillary Clinton had become

president, said Stephen Farnsworth, a political scientist at the University of Mary Washington. And the power of the state’s wealthy suburbs has fueled support for Democratic issues. “The fortunes for the Republican party in Richmond were not good if the party stood mainly for divisive issues like no Medicaid expansion, no abortion and no restrictions on guns,” he said. “That’s a losing trifecta in suburban Virginia.” Despite Republican efforts to tear it down, the Affordable Care Act “has become more popular than it ever was, and the opportunity to balance the state’s budget with an influx of federal funds became an increasingly popular choice,” he said. Under the Affordable Care Act, Washington allows states to open their Medicaid rolls to people
making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $16,643 for an individual. The federal government pledged to pay at least 90 percent of the cost, which in Virginia would amount to about $2 billion a year. Virginia’s existing Medicaid program is one of the least generous in the nation. To be eligible, a disabled individual can make no more than $9,700 a year. The cutoff for a family of three is $6,900. Able-bodied, childless adults are not eligible, no matter how poor. “I came to the conclusion that ‘no’ just wasn’t the answer anymore,” said Sen. Ben Chafin, another of the Republicans who broke ranks, “… Doing nothing about the medical conditions, the state of health care in my district, just wasn’t the answer any longer.” LAURA VOZZELLA AND GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
The atmosphere unloaded at least half a foot of rain in three hours on Ellicott City, Md., on Sunday, resulting in a catastrophic flash flood. The National Weather Service has conducted a preliminary analysis, which finds this rainfall intensity had less than one-tenth of a percent chance of happening in a given year, or that it was “1 in 1,000.” Sunday’s cloudburst marked the second such rainstorm to deluge Ellicott City in two years. The other event happened July 30, 2016. “Amazing … 2 such rare events over the same area in last 22 months,” the National Weather Service Eastern Region tweeted. For this year’s event, the 1-in-1,000-year rainfall area not only affected Ellicott City but also a large surrounding area including Catonsville, where severe flooding occurred. (TWP)

local Transit agency faces other challenges to its advertisement policy THE DISTRICT A federal judge on Wednesday refused to force Metro to accept and display advertisements from the American Civil Liberties Union in advance of the organization’s national conference next month. The decision by U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan upholds Metro’s rejection of the ACLU’s planned ads, which the transit
agency said violated its ban on issue advocacy. Metro “reasonably concluded” that the ACLU’s proposed ads “violated its prohibition on advertisements intended to influence public policy,” Chutkan wrote in a nine-page order. The ACLU’s case is one of several challenges to Metro’s policy, which also prohibits political and religious advertisements. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is already considering whether Metro’s policy goes too far in keeping out religious messages. That case stems from a lawsuit brought by the

Nevertheless, the court cannot conclude that the guidelines were applied arbitrarily or inconsistently in this case.” ANN E. MARIMOW (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Journalist faked death to foil assassination plot
MISSOURI
Prosecutors to drop 1 charge against Greitens
Ukraine says Russia was behind plot to kill critic of the Kremlin NEVER SAY NEVER
De Beers dives into lab-made diamonds
EFREM LUKATSKY (AP)
KIEV, UKRAINE To the gasps, whoops and applause of stunned colleagues, Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko walked into a news conference Wednesday, less than a day after police in the Ukrainian capital said he had been assassinated. Authorities said his death had been staged to foil a plot on his life by Moscow’s security services; one arrest was made. Even Babchenko’s wife was unaware of the deception, and the 41-year-old Kremlin critic who fled to Ukraine 15 months ago apologized to her “for the hell she had to go through in the past two days.” Neither Babchenko nor Ukrainian Security Service chief Vasyl Gritsak gave details of the sting operation. Kiev Police Chief Andriy Krishchenko had announced Babchenko’s death Tuesday, saying the journalist’s wife found him bleeding at their apartment building in Kiev but that he died en route to the hospital. Lawmaker Anton Gerashchenko said the assailant had waited on a staircase in the building and shot Babchenko in the back. “I’m still alive,” Babchenko said. Then he apologized for the deception.
Journalist Arkady Babchenko said he faked his death to help catch a hit man.
He said Ukraine’s law enforcement had been aware of a contract on him for two months and that he was approached by the Ukrainian Security Service a month ago. Gritsak said investigators had identified a Ukrainian citizen who allegedly was paid $40,000 by the Russian security service to organize and carry out the hit. The unidentified Ukrainian man allegedly hired an acquaintance to be the gunman, Gritsak added. The suspected organizer of the alleged hit plot was detained Wednesday, Gritsak said. Killing Babchenko was part of
a larger alleged plot by Russian security services, Gritsak said. The suspect was also supposed to procure large quantities of weapons and explosives to perpetrate acts of terror in Ukraine, he said. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the Ukrainian government was “fanning anti-Russian hysteria.” Ukraine also faced backlash from international journalism figures. “There’s one nuance — if somebody’s shot now, nobody will believe it,” said journalist Mustafa Nayyem.

For decades, De Beers has railed against synthetic diamonds as one of the biggest industry threats. On Tuesday, the world’s largest diamond miner announced it will begin selling man-made diamonds in September. De Beers will sell the line of pink, blue and white laboratory-grown diamonds under a new brand, Lightbox Jewelry. The line will include earrings and necklaces — but no engagement rings — that cost as little as $200. Lab-grown diamonds — which are created in hot, pressurized chambers over weeks, instead of a billion years underground — have been growing in popularity as Americans spend less on traditional diamonds. Experts say they are indistinguishable to the naked eye. (TWP)

nation+world Regulators approve proposal to ease rules on risky financial bets FINANCE Big U.S. banks snagged another big victory on Wednesday, as federal regulators voted to ease one of the industry’s most despised regulations. The Federal Reserve approved sweeping changes to the “Volcker Rule,” which was established after the global financial crisis to prevent taxpayer-insured banks from making some risky financial bets. Banks, which have complained for years that the rule is too cumbersome and time-consuming, will gain new flexibility in deciding when a trade is too risky if the
proposal is finalized. “Our goal is to replace overly complex and inefficient requirements with a more streamlined set of requirements,” said Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Consumer advocates warn that even a slight easing of the standards could open the door for the type of risky trading that contributed to the near-collapse of the economy a decade ago. It will also provide another boost to an industry already reporting record profits — $56 billion during the first three months of this year. The rule, which was named for Paul Volcker, a former chairman of the Fed, has made the financial system safer, supporters say. Volcker said in a statement that though he welcomed the

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell voted to approve sweeping changes to the “Volcker Rule.”
effort to simplify the rule, “what is critical is that simplification not undermine the core principle at stake — that taxpayer banking
groups, of any size, not participate in proprietary trading at odds with the basic public and customers’ interests.” The proposed new rule, dubbed Volcker 2.0, would give large Wall Street banks more freedom. Big banks, for example, would have more flexibility to determine what trading is permissible. The proposal shifts the onus on proving some trades are prohibited from the bank to the regulators. Along with the Federal Reserve, four other banking regulators, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, must also approve any changes to the rule. The FDIC is expected to vote today.

The American Cancer Society, responding to a rise in colorectal cancer rates among younger people, is now recommending that adults undergo screening for the disease beginning at age 45 rather than 50. The organization, which announced the change in its guidelines Wednesday, said extensive analysis showed that lowering the starting age for screening would save lives. The recommendations apply to adults who are at average risk of the disease; this includes most people in the United States. Over the past two decades, the incidence of colorectal cancer has declined steadily among people older than 54, largely because screening has increased, allowing the identification and removal of polyps that can become malignant. But since 1994, there has been a 51 percent increase in the rate of the disease among those younger than 50, and the death rate has also begun to rise. Experts said many primarycare physicians are likely to adopt the new recommendations. But not everyone agrees. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel, decided a few years ago not to lower its recommended age from 50. It concluded that the data was mixed and that a younger starting age for screening would provide only a “modest” benefit. LAURIE M C GINLEY

The spy in your pocket Bad actors can use your phone to find you — and eavesdrop on your calls and texts Deadline set for review of Cohen materials
THINKSTOCK/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
TECHNOLOGY Surveillance systems that track the locations of cellphone users and spy on their calls, texts and data streams are being turned against Americans as they roam the country and the world, say security experts and U.S. officials. Federal officials acknowledged the privacy risk to Americans in a previously undisclosed letter from the Department of Homeland Security to Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., last week, saying they had received reports that “nefarious actors may have exploited” cell networks “to target the communications of American citizens.” The letter, dated May 22 and obtained by The Washington Post, described surveillance systems that tap into a global messaging system that allows cellular customers to move from network to network as they travel. The decades-old messaging system, called SS7, has little security, allowing intelligence agencies and some criminal gangs to spy on unwitting targets — based on nothing more than their cellphone numbers. “I don’t think most Americans realize how insecure U.S. telephone networks are,” Wyden said in a statement. “If more consumers knew how easy it is for bad guys to track or hack their mobile phones, they would demand the FCC and wireless companies do something about it.” Wyden also revealed in a separate letter Tuesday that a major American cellular carrier has referred an “SS7 breach” involving customer data to federal law enforcement officials for investigation. He chastised the Federal Communications Commission in the letter, saying it had “failed to address this ongoing threat to national security.” The FCC declined to comment on the letter.
Wyden said the risks posed by SS7 surveillance go beyond privacy to affect national security. American, Chinese, Israeli and Russian intelligence agencies are the most active users of SS7 surveillance, experts say, and private-sector vendors have put systems within the reach of dozens of other governments worldwide. Sophisticated criminals and private providers of business intelligence also use the surveillance technology. “America is the number one target, far and away,” said Brian Collins, chief executive of AdaptiveMobile Security, a cellular security firm based in Dublin. “You will always be a target, whether at home or away.” German telecommunications researcher Tobias Engel first warned of the potential for SS7 surveillance at a security conference in 2008, during which he demonstrated how to locate a cellphone provided by a volunteer
About SS7 What it is: Signaling System 7 was created in the 1970s as a way for telecom carriers to exchange information as they routed calls. Rapid growth: Over the years, SS7 expanded to serve a sprawling global cellular system. As the number of companies with access to SS7 grew from a handful to many thousands, the lack of built-in security became a growing problem. Growing risk: Early research on SS7 surveillance focused on its use in tracking user locations through cellphones. Recently, a more serious issue has emerged around its ability to intercept calls, texts and data.
from the audience. Engel also located the cellphone of a Washington Post reporter in 2014, at The Post’s request, for an article about the growing availability and effectiveness of such systems. Carriers worldwide have

gradually added better security, but SS7 does not have any way to verify that carriers sending data requests are who they claim to be. The firewalls increasingly installed by carriers, meanwhile, protect their own customers but typically not people who are roaming on the network, said Engel. An FCC group, the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperabilty Council, issued recommendations for improving SS7 security in March 2017 that U.S. carriers have largely adopted. But Wyden and some other officials say the government must do more to protect American cellphone users. “The FCC has been studying SS7 vulnerabilities for nearly two years. Enough,” FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel said. “It’s time for the agency to get serious and come up with a real plan to make sure that our networks are safe and secure.” CRAIG TIMBERG (THE WASHINGTON POST)
POLITICS A federal judge on Wednesday gave attorneys for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, a little more than two weeks to finish reviewing material seized from his office and residences to determine what is protected by attorney-client privilege. The June 15 deadline was set during a hearing in Manhattan that focused on the status of these seized materials and featured sparring between Cohen’s attorneys and Michael Avenatti, an attorney for Stormy Daniels, an adult-film actress to whom Cohen paid $130,000 after she alleged she had an affair with Trump. Avenatti had sought to join the case but withdrew his motion after U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood warned that Avenatti would have to end his “publicity tour” if she granted him standing. Avenatti did not elaborate on his decision in his motion to withdraw, noting that he could refile it “if necessary, at a later time.” Todd Harrison, an attorney for Cohen, argued against a midJune deadline, saying that “we are moving heaven and earth” to rapidly complete a review. “We have people who are working all night,” Harrison said. Wood was not persuaded, dismissing Cohen’s concerns. A neutral lawyer picked by the judge will review the documents before prosecutors get them. PHILIP BUMP AND MARK BERMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

IMMIGRATION The number of migrant children held in U.S. government custody without their parents has surged 21 percent in the past month, according to the latest figures, an increase driven by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” crackdown on families who cross the border illegally. Although the government has not disclosed how many children have been separated from their parents as a result of the new measures, the Department of Health and Human Services said Tuesday that it had 10,773 migrant children in its custody, up from 8,886 on April 29. Under the “zero tolerance” approach rolled out last month by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, anyone who crosses into the U.S. illegally will face criminal prosecution. In most cases, that means parents who arrive with children stay in federal jails while their children are sent to HHS shelters.
Those shelters are at 95 percent capacity, an HHS official said Tuesday, and the agency is preparing to add potentially thousands of new bed spaces in the coming weeks. HHS also is exploring the possibility of housing children on military bases but views the measure as a “last option,” according to the HHS official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. HHS has about 1,300 reserve beds to accommodate more children, the official said, including several hundred at a governmentowned building in Homestead, Fla., adjacent to an Air Force base. The building was previously used as a Labor Department training center. The latest figures do not distinguish between minors who arrive without a parent and those who are separated from their parents after they cross the border. But an official for U.S. Customs and Border Protection testified at a Senate committee hearing last week that 638 adults were referred for prosecution from May 6 to May 19 under the new zerotolerance effort and that they brought 658 children with them.

Is space next stop for Virgin Galactic? Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic moved a step closer to flying tourists to space. During a test flight Tuesday, the VSS Unity went supersonic for the second time, firing its engine for 31 seconds to an altitude of nearly 22 miles and a maximum speed of almost Mach 2. Branson said it could attempt to reach the edge of space on the next test flight in about six weeks. Virgin Galactic has some 700 people signed up for space flights, for $250,000 a ticket. (TWP)

Gaza’s Hamas rulers said Wednesday they had agreed to a cease-fire with Israel to end the largest flare-up of violence between the two sides since a 2014 war. Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official, said Egyptian mediators intervened, and militant groups in Gaza will commit to the cease-fire as long as Israel does. Israeli Cabinet minister Arieh Deri told Israel’s Army Radio that he expected calm to be restored.

A Belgian inmate who killed four people Tuesday while on leave from prison committed “terrorist murder” and likely intended to cause more harm, prosecutors said Wednesday, as authorities searched for possible accomplices. ISIS said on its Aamaq news agency site that the convict, Belgian national Benjamin Herman, was a “soldier of the caliphate,” but Belgian authorities have not confirmed this. Herman stabbed two police officers in the city of Liege and used their handguns to kill them and a bystander. Authorities also noted that Herman had killed a fourth person on Monday night away from Liege. (AP)
President Trump signed legislation Wednesday aimed at helping people with deadly diseases try experimental treatments, calling it a “fundamental freedom” that will offer hope and save lives.

CAVALIERS AT WARRIORS | GAME 1: 9 TONIGHT, ABC
Finals pairing is old hat
For the fourth year in a row — a first in American professional sports history — the same two teams will decide a championship round. Golden State hosts Cleveland tonight in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. These teams have met everyone’s preseason expectations by creating a finals matchup that’s beginning to seem boring, but there are plenty of storylines that could differentiate this edition

of the Warriors against the Cavaliers. Here are five things to watch for as the series tips off. TIM BONTEMPS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
When will Love return to the Cavs?
How long will Golden State miss Iguodala?
Which George Hill will show up?
Which Warriors will show up?
Can Cleveland make enough 3-pointers?
The All-Star power forward is underrated because of flaws in his game but remains a terrific scorer and rebounder. He’s the clear second option next to LeBron James in Cleveland. James was able to win the final two games of the Eastern Conference finals while Love sat out with a concussion, but Cleveland can’t afford to play without him for long. Love remains in the league’s protocol ahead of the finals. Any chance the Cavs have to win the series rests with their ability to score to keep up with the Warriors. To do that, Cleveland needs Love healthy and playing well.
The Warriors looked like a completely different team without Andre Iguodala for the final four games of the Western Conference finals, as he sat out with a bone bruise in his knee. Iguodala, 34, is a smart, savvy player who fits perfectly with the team’s four All-Stars to form one of basketball’s best lineups. Without him, the Warriors struggled to find a fifth player, beating the Rockets with help from poor Houston shooting. Iguodala will miss Game 1 and be re-evaluated before Game 2. Golden State was plus-60 in 141 minutes he played against the Cavs in last year’s finals.
The point guard’s up-anddown play in the playoffs has become a microcosm for what has led to Cleveland’s wild swings. Hill’s net rating in the playoffs this year is plus-19 in wins — second-best on the team — and minus-18.7 in losses. The Cavaliers look like a great team when Hill is engaged, as he’s the only quality twoway player on the roster besides James. When he’s not, the Cavs look as bad as a lottery team. When Hill falters as a shot creator and floor spacer, it puts an even bigger burden on James and forces players such as Jordan Clarkson to get more touches.
Even with Iguodala out, Golden State has a wealth of talent in this series. That advantage grows if Love stays sidelined. The Warriors have coasted on that talent at times and played down to opponents. That’s why they trailed after the first halves of both Games 6 and 7 of the Western finals, necessitating clutch performances from Stephen Curry, above, and Kevin Durant. On paper, Cleveland has no business competing with Golden State. But if the Warriors neglect to drop the hammer, James and the Cavs could nab their second title in three years.
For all of its flaws this season, Cleveland can generally be governed by one rule: If the Cavaliers are making 3-pointers, they have a chance to be competitive. If they aren’t, they don’t. That will be especially true in this series, against the firepower Golden State possesses — the Warriors have averaged more 3s per game in the playoffs (10.8) than every team but Houston. Shooters such as J.R. Smith, above, Kyle Korver, Jeff Green, Hill and Love will all have to be burying shots for Cleveland to keep up. If they don’t, the Cavs will be headed home quickly.
Stanley Cup Final: Capitals-Golden Knights Game 2 ended after Express’ deadline
If anyone understands the scrutiny critics and fans heap upon Warriors forward Kevin Durant for fleeing Oklahoma City, it’s LeBron James. With his nationally televised, widely panned “Decision” in 2010, James left Cleveland and set a precedent for NBA free agents to form superteams. The stunt ultimately led James to win his first two championships in Miami and return to Cleveland for a storybook redemption tale and a third title. Durant won Finals MVP last year after averaging 35.2 points, but he has to win multiple titles to live up to expectations. Winning a second ring against LeBron would help Durant build his legacy and further ascend the ranks of NBA stars. GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

According to Detrick, the 76ers confirmed that Colangelo controlled one of the accounts, but it was one that never published tweets, and merely following others. The team said Colangelo had no knowledge of another account,
created around the same time he assumed the reins in Philadelphia in April 2016. The anonymous accounts criticized former center Nerlens Noel for playing laser tag while he was injured and urged reporters to ask if a physical failed by Jahlil Okafor nixed a trade for him, and if Fultz’s personal trainer had messed with the shot of the No. 1 overall pick. In a statement to the Ringer, Colangelo acknowledged he used the silent account “to monitor our industry” and follow the news. “I am not familiar with any of the other accounts ... nor do I know who is behind them or what their motives may be,” Colangelo said.

No relief in sight for bullpens ANALYSIS Major League Baseball has undergone constant changes since it was founded in 1869. The mound was lowered in 1969 to help batters a year after Bob Gibson posted a preposterous 1.12 ERA. Instant replay was expanded in 2014 to cover for officials’ mistakes. Some modifications, however, don’t require rulings to change the game. Some trends emerge organically as teams adapt to new schools of thought. One big way the game is changing is the increasing importance of relief pitchers, who are making more and more appearances — MLB teams have combined to break the single-season records for appearances by relievers in three consecutive years. That trend coincides with another one driven by analytics: limiting the amount of times starters pitch through the lineup in a game. First-year manager Dave Martinez has used this philosophy with the Nationals, especially when Jeremy Hellickson starts. Entering Wednesday, the average on-base-plus-slugging percentage (OPS) of hitters facing a starting pitcher the first time through the order was .691. The second time through the lineup, hitters sported a .721 OPS. The third time, it was up to .804, the same as the total OPS for budding Yankees star Didi Gregorius. With that data i n mi nd,

Stats drive MLB teams to call upon relievers earlier and more often
Left-hander Sammy Solis is part of a Nationals bullpen that’s getting more work as the team limits starting pitchers’ trips through opposing lineups.
managers are more inclined to hand the ball to their bullpens before starters begin a third trip through the order. Through Tuesday, hitters had just a .712 OPS against relievers this season. Greater reliance on bullpens has paid off for teams in the short run, but its long-term effects are unknown. Appearing in more games can increase relievers’ injury risk and actually decrease their workload. Although 89 relievers threw at least 60 innings in 2016, just 40.4 percent of them repeated that feat in 2017.
“It’s just a heavy workload and it’s tough, especially on a playoff-caliber team. You don’t get as much time off over the offseason.” SAMMY SOLIS, talking about the increasing use of relievers to stop hitters from seeing a starter a third time in one game. Solis pitched in 29 of the Nationals’ first 53 games.
LEAVING MARYLAND
Huerter will stay in NBA draft
Maryland’s Kevin Huerter declared for the NBA draft thinking that it would be an exploratory mission that might prepare him to go pro next season. Turns out, he’s ready now. On Wednesday, the deadline for underclassmen to decide whether to turn pro, the 6-foot-7 guard said he’ll stay in the draft, forfeiting two years of eligibility. Huerter performed well at the pre-draft combine in Chicago and is expected to be a first-round pick. (AP) Agent: Bundesliga top scorer Lewandowski, 29, wants to leave Bayern Munich before deal ends in 2021
To keep Washington’s bullpen healthy, Martinez has paid close attention to pitch counts. For example, although left-hander Sammy Solis entered Wednesday tied with two others for the second-most relief appearances in the bigs (29), he’s thrown just 12 pitches per appearance — the lowest average of his career. He averaged 15 pitches per game last season and 18 in 2016. “We keep an eye on those things and … I communicate with these guys every day,” Martinez said. “When they need the day off, they’ll tell me. They’ll get the day no matter what.” Through 53 games this year, the Nats got 153 innings from their bullpen. Through May 30 of last year, Washington relievers had pitched 1432/3. The mosttaxed bullpen in the majors entering Wednesday was Tampa Bay (225 innings). At this point last year, it was the Reds, whose relievers had pitched 2042/3 innings. Two regulars in the Nats’ bullpen, Ryan Madson and Shawn Kelley, have been on the DL this year. But the relievers say they don’t fret about overuse because the club emphasizes pitch counts and off-day treatments tailored to each arm. The trend still could have long-term ramifications across baseball. “There is an inherent risk of volatility just because of the nature of the position,” Nats closer Sean Doolittle said. “We get absolutely abused [but] we know ... what we signed up for.” MATT WEYRICH (FOR EXPRESS)
Djokovic still looking to get his groove back FRENCH OPEN Despite all of Novak Djokovic’s success — the 12 major titles, the career Grand Slam, the time ranked No. 1 — he still finds himself searching for selfconfidence these days. That’s what an elbow injury and forced absence can do to a player. Djokovic was reflective and revealing Wednesday in Paris after moving into the third round at the French Open with a 7-6 (1), 6-4, 6-4 victory over 155th-ranked Jaume Munar of Spain. Both of Djokovic’s wins have been against qualifiers; neither was very impressive. “At the moment, I’m not playing at the level I wish to, but at the same time, I understand that it is the process that obviously takes time,” said Djokovic, 31, who missed half of last season with elbow trouble and finally decided to have an operation in February. His No. 20 seeding is his lowest at a major in 12 years. Other leading men were forced to work harder than anticipated as well: No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev, No. 4 Grigor Dimitrov and No. 19 Kei Nishikori all faced two-sets-to-one deficits before winning Wednesday. In women’s singles, No. 1 Simona Halep beat Alison Riske 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 in a postponed firstround match. Second-round winners included reigning major champs Caroline Wozniacki and Sloane Stephens, along with No. 4 Elina Svitolina, No. 8 Petra Kvitova and No. 13 Madison Keys. HOWARD FENDRICH (AP)

Calabash Tea in Shaw lists its tonics, teas and drinks on the menu, but you’re better off letting owner and self-described witch doctor Sunyatta Amen figure out what you need. Amen, an herbalist and naturopathic healer, has a gift for detecting if you need a soothing lavender tea, energizing kombucha or spicy chai just by looking at you — all thanks to lessons from her grandmother. “She used to say … you can treat the body, but anything that’s happening in the body is happening in the psychospiritual realm, and it manifests as a physical ailment,” Amen says. Calabash’s second location — set to open this summer in Brookland — will feature a spacious patio and garden filled with labeled herbs Amen uses in her concoctions, so you can learn to do a little healing on your own. Amen has one rule for her perfect day, which she’d spend with her partner and her 14-year-old daughter: “If it’s my day off, I’m not cooking!” First thing I would do is some family yoga. It’s rare that we get to do it now in our house. I’ve been a certified yoga instructor for about 20 years, and [my family are] the most stubborn students I’ve ever met.

going outside and she cuts flowers and herbs, and maybe digs up some roots, like ginger or turmeric. Those things get cut and put into a large pot of water, then brought up to a boil. Everybody in your house is getting a cup of this tea. It puts you in tune with your environment, because you’re eating what’s growing around you.
I like to go to a bookstore to hang out. One of my favorites is Politics and Prose. In our cafe we have a huge quantity of books that people can just peruse, so I love to pick up some extra things for it. Recently I picked up a couple of copies of Junot Diaz’s children’s book called “Islandborn.” The children and adults in our shop love that book. After several hours of that, we would go and have an early dinner. I really like [Thai restaurant] BKK Cookshop. They have the nicest people. You can tell that it’s in their tradition to be hospitable. And the food is fabulous. I’ve traveled and eaten all over the place — I have never seen anybody make drunken noodle [like this]: They use this tiny, linguinestyle noodle that makes it a lighter dish. It really allows you to taste all the spices that are happening in it. I would definitely go to The Anthem. I like that venue a lot. The last show I saw there was Mos Def and Talib Kweli. There’s always time for more food. For a nice little snack, I would go to Kith and Kin. Chef Kwame [Onwuachi] is amazing. It’s easy to see why he’s Questlove’s and lots of other people’s favorite chef. (AS TOLD TO LORI McCUE)

If you need a break from your phone but lack the will to power off, consider these destinations 1
Montgomery Lane, Bethesda; $35 per session. 2 Pentagon tour
There are, amazingly, a lot of rules to obey when you take a tour of the Pentagon (like signing up at least
two weeks in advance so they can do a background check on you). While phones are permitted, don’t plan on any selfies — pictures are absolutely forbidden at all points of the tour except for the replica press briefing room and the 9/11 memorial. The tour doesn’t take you anywhere off-limits, but you might spot a secure area nearby and be tempted to snap a picture. And if you try? The tour guides, who walk backward the whole time to keep an eye on you, are ready, says Pentagon spokeswoman Major Audricia Harris. All of them are members of the military and they are “well-informed and know how to enforce the policy,” Harris says. The Pentagon, 1400 Defense Pentagon, Arlington; Mondays-Thursdays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Fridays, noon-4 p.m., free. 3 Landmark E Street Cinema
It’s not that phones are banned here; it’s just they simply won’t work. The underground lair of
independent films was apparently built under some sort of cell-service shield, as any “searching for signal” will come up empty (and no, they don’t have Wi-Fi). So while you can have your phone on you and you could play a little Angry Birds after the lights go down, we wouldn’t recommend it. E Street has a dedicated following, and serious filmgoers can give some serious glares. Landmark E Street

One way to be forced away from Facebook is to sit in a cave, pretending the world outside doesn’t exist. The Bethesda Salt Cave is a spa room lined wall to wall and floor to ceiling with imported Himalayan salt, which is said to offer a number of health benefits. You can book a 45-minute session to sit in the room and just chill, or you can sign up for energy cleaning, yoga or meditation workshops. You just need to abide by some rules: Arrive in advance for your session (if you’re more than five minutes late, you’re not allowed in), take off your shoes and leave your phone in the locker room. And please don’t lick the walls. Bethesda Salt Cave, 4709

Put. The phone. Away. “But it’s so haaaaarrrrrd,” you say as you check to see if there’ve been any new Instagram posts since seven minutes ago. While we all know it’s important to disconnect now and then, many of us lack the discipline. To force the issue, consider spending time in a place where phones are forbidden, discouraged or rendered useless. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Most performers don’t mind if you hold up your phone through an entire concert and record
something you’ll never look at it again because it was shot while you held up your phone. Dave Chappelle is not most artists. For his current tour, which brings him to Baltimore next week, the comedian has instituted a no-phone policy — but that doesn’t mean you have to leave yours at the door. Each attendee’s phone is secured inside a little bag, made by Yondr, which is locked and given to the owner (who can have it unlocked if he or she needs to step out and use it). It’s the same system that Jack White and Cage the Elephant used when they came to D.C., says Audrey Fix Schaefer, communications director for I.M.P., which promotes shows in a number of area clubs, including The Anthem. Don’t worry about an end-of-show crush: “I was happily surprised when I went to Cage the Elephant,” she says. “On the way out, it was licketysplit.” The Modell Lyric, 140 W.

Radiohead and the heart A couple’s passion for the iconic band and for Planned Parenthood sparks a unique benefit MUSIC D.C. rock band Staycation’s Planned Parenthood benefit and tribute to Radiohead at the Black Cat this weekend has been in the works for only a few months, but it’s actually been more than a decade in the making. When Staycation singer-guitarist Nikhel Sus was a junior at the College of Charleston in 2004, his college band was booked to play a benefit show organized for the school’s Planned Parenthood chapter by junior Stephanie Sasarak, the chapter’s president and co-founder. Sus didn’t get the memo about the concert, though, and had a conflict that night, forcing the band to back out of the gig lastminute. Sasarak, understandably, was not thrilled. The following semester, Sus and Sasarak ended up sitting next to each other in a class and hit it off. In August, they’ll celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. And on Saturday, Sasarak will finally get Sus to play the Planned Parenthood benefit he owes her. The couple are organizing the show, for which every participating vocalist is female or nonbinary. More than 45 D.C. musicians will take part in the performance: Staycation will serve as the house band, with vocalists rotating in and out. The Emma Bleker-fronted D.C. psych rock band Nah. will also do its own short set of Radiohead covers. Sasarak will act as stage manager. The idea for this benefit came to Sus and Sasarak, both lawyers, quickly during brunch one afternoon: The two are big Radiohead fans and noticed they haven’t seen many tributes to the enduring rock act. (Coincidentally, Saturday’s show comes exactly

23 years after Radiohead played the Black Cat while touring behind “The Bends.”) The two are also supporters of Planned Parenthood, and Sus even did some pro bono work for the nonprofit as a co-counsel with the ACLU from 2013 to 2015. The funds from Saturday’s show will benefit the D.C. chapter of Planned Parenthood. “Letting people make their own decisions and choices about reproduction in their bodies seems so fundamental to me,” Sasarak says. Planned Parenthood has “always been very important and near and dear to my heart.” W hen the show was a nnounced, Sus received an outpouring of support from the D.C. music community. Mundy Spears, singer of new-wave soul act MUNDY and the High Vibes, reached out and asked to join in. “Especially right now in our sociopolitical climate, Planned Parenthood needs all the love we can give it,” says Spears, who identifies as nonbinary. “It’s constantly losing funding,
and so many Americans count on Planned Parenthood for their sexual health and testing, so it’s a really important thing to keep alive.” Besides the fact that Planned Parenthood offers a variety of health care services for women, there’s another reason to feature female voices at a Radiohead tribute. “From a musical standpoint, [Radiohead singer] Thom Yorke has a very high vocal range and women can pull it off a lot better than men, frankly,” Sus says. “It’s also important to give women a voice when we can.” Staycation has worked up more than 20 Radiohead songs for the show and will play them as written, for the most part, though the singers will be putting their own touches on the vocals. Tula Pisano, who will sing as part of the house band and as a featured vocalist, considers that aspect a welcome challenge. “I’m still trying to find the best way to lend my voice to it,” she says. “With ‘Paranoid Android,’ I
found myself trying to mimic the way [Yorke] sang it but ultimately I still have to sing it the way I sing, so I’m working on finding the right sound from a personal standpoint. We’re not trying to be Radiohead carbon copies.” As a singer, Spears likes to blur the line between masculine and feminine sounds, an approach that lends itself well to Yorke’s style. “I think that’s something that he really does beautifully,” Spears says. “He really plays with that contrast between masculine and feminine tones.” For Sus, that’s part of what makes this show special. “Thom Yorke has a very specific emotional, emotive way of singing that is very unique to him, and each singer I have seen in the rehearsals has brought their own variation of that,” he says. “It’s not like him at all. It’s their own spin on it and I dig it.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

The burning passion of Sandro Botticelli

Sandro (Jon Hudson Odom, right) suffers for his art — and his love — in “Botticelli in the Fire.”
once had an orgy with 30 people that lasted a whole weekend.’ And I was like: ‘Once?’ Please. Do your research, girl. Do. Your. Research. ‘Once’ — cute.” Outside the windows of Sandro’s art studio in downtown Florence, people are dying in the streets from the bubonic plague. But the wealthy still need their art, including Lorenzo di Medici (Cody Nickell), the city’s de facto ruler, who commissions Sandro to paint a portrait of his wife, Clarice Orsini (Alyssa Wilmoth Keegan). Clarice poses nude for Sandro for what will become “The Birth of Venus,” and a lusty affair ensues. Meanwhile, sexual tension rises between Sandro and his young, brilliant assistant “Leo” da Vinci (James Crichton). Late one night, Sandro reaches for Leo — and the tension bursts into frenzied passion. “It’s definitely a sexy show,” Tannahill says. “I love that frisson between beauty and sexuality and sensuality — but when they are brought together, it can be very messy.” Messy turns catastrophic when Lorenzo suspects Sandro and Clarice are having an affair. His jealousy soon heightens to a
murderous rage aimed at Sandro and, by association, Leo. That’s not the only threat. Out on the streets, homophobic friar Savonarola (Craig Wallace) is stirring up the common people’s anger about the Black Death and blaming the ills of society on seekers of pleasure, particularly sodomites. As Savonarola’s followers burn gay people in the piazza, Sandro and Leo quickly become targets. The artists must escape both the angry mobs and Lorenzo’s wrath. But even the greatest of sacrifices and the most Faustian of deals are not guaranteed to save them. For Tannahill, “Botticelli in the Fire” is a way to reclaim the untold stories of gay artists who have been persecuted throughout history — stories that they never got to tell themselves. “It is about the rise of populism. It is about the enduring spirit of queer survival,” Tannahill says. “It is about the politics of pleasure, and how pleasure and vice are often scapegoated to political ends.”

STAGE Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill was reading an art history textbook a few years ago when a footnote caught his eye: In 1497, a fanatical Dominican friar named Girolamo Savonarola incited hordes of people in Florence, Italy, to burn their art, books, mirrors and other symbols of vanity. Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, known for “The Birth of Venus,” joined in the purge. “I read this story about Sandro Botticelli willingly burning his own masterpieces in the Bonfire of the Vanities, and I tried to get inside what would have provoked him to do that,” Tannahill says. Tannahill was struck by some other historical facts, too: Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci trained together in the same workshop in Florence. They were also accused (separately) of sodomy — a crime punishable by death on the pyre. “This ahistorical but emotionally plausible narrative began to form,” Tannahill says, one where the protagonist must choose between renouncing his life’s work and renouncing the love of his life. The result, Tannahill’s play “Botticelli in the Fire,” opened on Monday at Woolly Mammoth Theatre. To keep his narrative accessible, Tannahill eschewed the trappings of a 15th-century period play and imbued the show with 21st-century sensibilities. This Sandro Botticelli (played by Jon Hudson Odom) listens to techno, relishes brunch and constantly loses his cellphone. He’s also an unapologetic, pansexual hedonist. “People would come up to me at a party and they’d be just dripping with jealousy,” Sandro says directly to the audience during the play. “I remember this one queen, he said to me, ‘I heard you

THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS OBJECT LESSON
‘Hamilton’ set designer David Korins lets us in on the world he created for the megahit musical
4
3
2 1 7
5 6 When David Korins interviewed for the job of set designer for “Hamilton,” he quoted a line from the musical’s script: “ ‘I’m not throwing away my shot,’ ” Korins recalls saying during his pitch to be hired. He got the job and ended up creating the stripped-down set for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop juggernaut, which tells the story of America’s “10-dollar Founding Father,” Alexander Hamilton, and his rival, Aaron Burr, in the years during and following the Revolutionary War. Korins, who will discuss his design process Thursday at a Smithsonian Associates talk ahead of the Broadway smash’s run at the Kennedy Center next month, revealed some of the secrets of “Hamilton’s” world. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) National Zoo, Visitor Center auditorium, 3001 Connecticut Ave. NW; Thu., 6:45 p.m., sold out, call 202-633-3030 to get on waiting list.
1 Quick changes
With nearly 50 songs and some 20,000 words, “Hamilton” required a set that could move as quickly as the script, Korins says. “There’s no time for set changes,” he adds. Korins eventually settled on an all-purpose setting that suggests a Colonial-era building under construction. “This is the story of the people who built the scaffolding upon which the country was built, so you see wooden period scaffolding up around a half-made wall to show a kind of aspirational space,” he says.
2 A grand entrance
Hamilton makes his entrance on this staircase, which, during the song “Alexander Hamilton,” angles toward the ground like a ramp coming off of a ship. “In our opening number, we get to watch Hamilton alight in New York Harbor,” Korins says. The nautical ropes and pulleys featured throughout the set carry over the theme of shipbased immigration, he adds.
3 Work in progress
Between the first and second acts, these brick walls grow 8 feet taller. “We add to the height of the walls because the country is progressing and that foundation is getting bigger,” Korins says. The things hanging on the walls also change between acts, from rifles and tools to parchment and quill pens, “because the war is over and now it’s time to govern,” Korins says.
4 Brick by brick
These brick walls are actually made of plastic and wood, and they come together in big blocks for easy assembly. As for the color of the brick, “I think we tried 33 different shades before we found the right one,” Korins says. “We knew we were having a multiracial cast and we wanted to make sure [the actors] all popped against the background.”
5 Furniture to go
“There’s a lot of stuff that happens at a lot of desks in the show,” Korins says. This desk is a faithful reproduction of Alexander Hamilton’s writing table, though it’s fortified to withstand actors jumping on it, Korins says. “It’s on a rolling cart, and all those sacks on the bottom play into the opening number, when we are talking about Hamilton working in St. Croix at the trading post, trading rum and sugar cane and all the things he can’t afford.”
6 A real whirlwind
Built into the floor of the set is a spinning circle of wood, with another, independently spinning ring of wood around it. These “turntables” — which allow the actors to stand still and move at the same time — were inspired by the whirlwind of history that sweeps up Hamilton, as well as the literal hurricane that hits the Caribbean island where he was born. “There’s also this cyclical relationship between Aaron Burr and Hamilton, where they were basically spiraling around each other their entire careers and lives,” Korins says.
7 Secret stashes
The cubbies in the walls hold goblets, swords and other props that the actors need to find quickly. They also inspired some swag. “On the opening night of the show on Broadway, I had made replicas of 4-foot-tall sections of the wall and gave them to the producers and members of the creative team, and I said, ‘This might be a good thing to put your Tony Award in.’ I think everyone I gave them to won a Tony. The problem is, I didn’t build one for myself, so I guess that’s why I didn’t end up winning.”

Mel Brooks’ 1968 farce, about a Broadway producer and an accountant who figure they can make more money with a flop than a smash, is best known for the rousing number “Springtime for Hitler,” which manages to be hilarious enough to not be offensive.

Naia Izumi It’s fair to say that few people had heard of Naia Izumi before the Los Angeles busker beat out more than 5,000 other musicians in NPR’s annual Tiny Desk Contest last month. But the singer’s soaring, soulful vocals and virtuoso guitar technique, which veers from finger tapping to searing bluesy vibrato, wowed Bob Boilen and a panel of judges. Union Stage, 740 Water

John Prine: At 71, John Prine is at the stage of his career where he’s being treated as a living legend — rightfully so.

One such artist is Margo Price, who will open for Prine at Wolf Trap on Friday.

Perfect storm of love & magic, Shakespeare’s classic comedy tells a story of refugees & exiles that asks,“How can we all get along on this island Earth?” Complete with secret plots, wily servants, tortured lovers, and a sprawling family estate on the chopping block! Based on the Disney movie, this Tony Award winning, high energy musical is the rousing tale of a ragged band of “newsies” who strike for what’s right. Peasant. Soldier. Mystic. Martyr. “Four actors do the work of five times as many” (Wash Post) in Bedlam s innovative and “splendid” staging of the fearless Joan of Arc. Directed by Eric Tucker (Sense and Sensibility), this stripped-down production has been called “a mighty big deal” (Wash Post).

Roseanne Barr waves goodbye to her career at ABC.
Trump enters the fray President Trump tweeted Wednesday about the cancellation of “Roseanne” by taking a shot at Bob Iger, the CEO of ABC’s parent company, Disney. “Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that ‘ABC does not tolerate comments like those’ made by Roseanne Barr,” Trump wrote. “Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC.” (EXPRESS)
prescriptions because they’ve fallen through a crack in our health care system; Roseanne is battling an opioid addiction;
Roseanne learns some tolerance from her Muslim neighbors. The ratings were high (tellingly high), yet the outcry was steady from those who would never distinguish the character from the actress who played her. And why should they? If we’ve learned anything from this, it’s that Roseanne is Roseanne is Roseanne. TV still needs a contrary, cantankerous character from which to tell the story of American life and politics in 2018. But Barr was never the right person for that job. Hank Stuever is The Washington Post’s TV critic. Follow @hankstuever

Michael Jackson estate sues ABC over TV special The estate of Michael Jackson sued ABC and parent company Disney on Wednesday, saying a documentary on the singer’s final days improperly used his intellectual property. The lawsuit filed in federal court in Los Angeles alleges that last week’s special, “The Last Days of Michael Jackson,” illegally uses significant excerpts of his most valuable songs and videos, as well as two feature films.

anne back. In her relative absence from popular culture — say, in the time between when ABC’s “Roseanne” first ended in 1997 and when the network revived the sitcom this March — Roseanne Barr acquired or developed some opinions that a few people, sadly, may agree with, but that everyone should find appalling. Barr’s tirades, which often drew from right-wing conspiracy theories, were no secret. But it all caught up to her Tuesday after she posted several tweets, one of which, about former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, was particularly racist. By midafternoon, ABC had canceled “Roseanne” — as well it should have. What Barr did Tuesday is, unfortunately, not a bizarre occurrence in America right now. Many of us have experienced a return home or a reunion with old friends only to find that the conversational dynamic has shifted toward an ugly place. Whatever mechanism of good manners used to
direct traffic between people’s darkest thoughts and their big mouths has atrophied. This is what the producers of “Roseanne” wanted to get at, sort of, from a sideways approach. Though it’s easy to disparage both them and ABC now for their combined failure to see this disaster building, they should be taken at their word when they say they wanted to bring Barr back as the same middle-American Roseanne Conner we once loved, at her full volume, only to discover that she, too, voted for Trump. Why? How? In setting up comedy premises about American families, the people who make television can’t go on pretending that half the country doesn’t exist as potential lead characters. Viewers were meant to be intrigued by that conservative pull on someone they loved — and by the idea that members of the Conner family found Roseanne’s politics to be, at best, in error, and at worst, misguided. Yet the show failed to fully build on that premise, choosing instead to dip a topical toe in here and there, letting us see a Roseanne full of contradictions, rather than confront the beast head-on: Roseanne and her husband struggle to get their
Blake Painter, an Oregon fisherman featured on the television series “The Deadliest Catch,” was found dead Friday at age 38. Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin said Tuesday that Painter was found in his Astoria, Ore., home by a friend who visited after being unable to reach him. Bergin said a cause of death would not be released until a toxicology report had been completed, but that there was no evidence of foul play. (AP)

Meek Mill’s request to remove judge denied A judge in Philadelphia denied Meek Mill’s request to remove another judge from the rapper’s case Wednesday, saying he doesn’t have jurisdiction over the matter. Mill’s lawyers want Judge Genece Brinkley off his case, alleging she’s been waging a vendetta against the rapper, including sending him to prison for his probation violations. Common Pleas Court Judge Leon Tucker told Mill’s lawyers that only the state Supreme Court can decide the matter. (AP)

Drake bracing for awkward Father’s Day
New couple share mutual admiration Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are dating, Us Weekly reported Tuesday. “It’s brand-new,” a source told Us. “It’s a good match and they are both interested in each other.” The news came after the singer and actress were spotted at the “Beauty and the Beast” live concert at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday. The pair then attended a Los Angeles Dodgers game on Saturday. (EXPRESS)
Pusha T claims Drake has a son with former porn star Sophie Brussaux in his diss track “The Story of Adidon,” which dropped Tuesday night. “Sophie knows better, ask your baby mother,” Pusha T raps. “You are hidin’ a child, let that boy come home.” Brussaux reportedly informed Drake she was pregnant in May 2017, with the rapper’s representative telling TMZ at the time that she was “one of many women claiming he got them pregnant.” Appearing on “The Breakfast Club” radio show Wednesday, Pusha T added that Drake had been planning to reveal his son, named Adonis, as part of a new Adidas line called Adidon.
