A Capitals fan’s punishment CAPITALS

Metro promises Oshie a custom card for title

CAROLYN KASTER (AP)

CAPITALS When he was finally released from police custody, Jay Bassich knew just where he’d go. He hadn’t showered or slept in a couple of days, but he simply had to return to the scene of the crime.

“I didn’t even really question it,” he said.

On Saturday night, the 22-yearold Capitals fan was arrested for climbing a streetlight during a spirited postgame celebration in Chinatown following Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals. He wasn’t freed until Monday around 5 p.m., and headed straight for F Street, where fans were already gathering for the start of Game 4.

“It was just where I wanted to be,” he said in an interview Tuesday morning.

The Caps’ improbable run this spring has excited a long-cynical fan base, inspiring many to test the boundaries of their fandom: spending thousands of dollars on tickets or, like Bassich, shimmying up a giant light pole.

going viral Saturday night. Hundreds of fans cheered him on, but police were not as amused.

Bassich was arrested as soon as he was coaxed down from the pole.

For more than 40 hours, his family didn’t hear from him.

They only knew the charges he was facing, and they sounded plenty serious: climbing the pole, resisting arrest and two counts of disorderly conduct.

the next morning. Instead, he had to wait until Monday for police and prosecutors to decide his fate.

Bassich said he was optimistic his punishment would be light.

His interviews, he said, gave him a pretty good idea that charges would be dropped.

“The officers and everyone … [were] giving me fist-bumps and stuff,” he said.

D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said Monday that Bassich was the only person arrested during the Game 3 postgame celebrations. Newsham said Bassich

was the only one who didn’t come down when police ordered.

The U.S. attorney’s office says it reviewed the case against Bassich and decided on Monday afternoon not to pursue the charges.

“I really wasn’t trying to cause any harm,” Bassich said. “It seemed like a victimless crime.

I knew what I was doing up there. I think it was pretty harmless. Was it a lack of maturity or just something that was pretty cool? I’m still teetering a bit between the two.” RICK MAESE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Capitals player T.J. Oshie, who has been riding the Metro to the Stanley Cup Final games at Capital One Arena, could get a SmarTrip card dedicated to him. Metro tweeted at Oshie after Game 4, congratulating him on the win. “Bring home the #StanleyCup and we’re gonna make a commemorative SmarTrip card in your honor!”

Poll: Jealous leads tight race

DANVILLE, VA.

Police: Infant found safe after abduction by father

MARYLAND Three weeks before their primary, Maryland Democrats remain largely undecided about whom to nominate for governor, according to a new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll, in a race overshadowed by record popularity for incumbent Republican Gov. Larry Hogan.

Former NAACP president Benjamin Jealous and Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker III lead the sizable Democratic pack, the survey finds. But the outcome of the race probably will depend on the nearly 4 in 10 likely voters who have not yet settled on a candidate.

Hogan’s broad support — nearly two-thirds of Democrats approve of his job performance — defies a national political climate in which opposition to President Trump has energized Democrats. Hogan’s 71 percent job approval rating among all Marylanders matches his previous record high, and residents are more optimistic about the state’s direction than in any Washington Post poll over the past quartercentury, the poll finds.

The governor leads each Democrat by at least 10 percentage points in possible general election matchups. Despite months of campaigning, multiple forums and two televised debates, none of the seven major Democratic contenders have distinguished

themselves as the most experienced or electable, the poll finds.

“The thing that I was most struck by … is just how strong the support is, and how diverse the support is for Hogan, regardless of who the opponent is,” said Michael J. Hanmer, associate professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland’s Center for American Politics and Citizenship, which conducted the poll with the Post.

“It looks like a pretty tight contest,” Hanmer said. “It’s going to come down to which candidates can get their supporters to show up and vote.” ROBERT McCARTNEY, SCOT T CLEMENT AND R ACHEL CHA SON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Alexandria, Arlington and Georgetown are all flooded along river

REGION Alexandria, Arlington and the District were inundated along the river banks Tuesday as high tide coincided with significant Potomac River flooding.

A tremendous amount of water drained into the Potomac after weeks of torrential rainfall. For

some locations in Maryland — including Baltimore, Beltsville and Damascus — the past 30 days have been the wettest on record.

Rainfall amounts reached 8 to 15 inches throughout the region, more than twice the normal.

With water raging downstream and the Chesapeake Bay pushing upstream, Tuesday’s afternoon high tide was as much as 5 feet above normal.

In Alexandria, the water line passed the King Street and

The morning high tide flooded many of the bike paths in Alexandria, Arlington and the District, making it difficult for cyclists and walkers to commute.

Water levels upriver on the Potomac also reached high marks this week. The water level at Little Falls crested at 12.38 feet Tuesday morning, which is considered a moderate flood for that section of the Potomac River. It was well below the historic levels from past floods, however. The water level ranked 36th-highest in records dating back to the 1930s.

Rivers levels are forecast to remain above flood stage through early today, but have mostly begun receding. ANGELA FRITZ AND KEVIN AMBROSE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

federalworkforce President Trump plans to sign a new veterans health care program into law today.

Q+A

JIM WATSON (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

TSP withdrawal rules to change in Sept. 2019

JOE DAVIDSON | THE WASHINGTON POST

VA health change: For new program, timing is critical As if on cue, a report released Monday was critical of a veterans health care program that President Trump plans to replace today.

The current, defective program will be around for another year, while the new one gets ready. That one-year transition period is a good thing, because the disparaged Choice Program’s hurried ramp-up contributed to its downfall.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report hit the Choice Program on multiple fronts. The program allows Department of Veterans Affairs health care patients to

receive services from private providers in certain circumstances. Created in 2014, it was a response to the scandalous cover-up of long wait times for service at VA health care facilities.

While Choice required that veterans receive health care within 30 days, the GAO found they could potentially wait 70 days.

Timing was a problem for Choice from its creation. In a hasty reaction to the wait time scandal, Congress gave the VA only 90 days to put in place the Choice Program — a “compressed implementation time frame,” in GAO’s words.

GAO cites three reasons for the poor service

— administrative burdens of complex referral and appointment scheduling, poor bureaucratic communication between the VA and its hospitals, and problems with the networks of private health care professionals.

Having learned lessons from the Choice Program, strong bipartisan congressional majorities approved the Mission Act that Trump will sign into law today. It allows for a one-year transition from Choice — a more realistic start-up period — before scrapping it and consolidating the department’s seven community (private provider) care programs into one.

Among other things, the legislation will help the department with personnel recruitment and expands the caregiver program to vets of any era.

Garry Augustine, the Washington executive director of the Disabled American Veterans, said an integrated network is “the hallmark of the Mission Act.” DAV and other veterans service organizations strongly resist privatization of VA

health care, but support the Mission Act and community care that supplements services coordinated by the VA. The Mission Act was opposed by the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents VA workers, and other unions that fear privatization of VA health care.

“We made a promise to veterans when they signed up to serve that they would be taken care of when they got home — not forced to wait in longer lines at private, walk-in clinics,” said AFGE National VA Council President Alma Lee. But the DAV and nearly 40 veterans organizations endorsed the Mission Act in a letter to Congress. The letter said “the legislation would consolidate VA’s community care programs and develop integrated networks of VA and community providers to supplement, not supplant VA health care, so that all enrolled veterans have timely access to quality medical care.”

Q. What is going on with the new TSP withdrawal rules?

A. The 401(k)-style Thrift Savings Plan announced last week that expanded withdrawal options enacted into law last year will be available in September 2019.

Those changes were a response to investors transferring their money to IRAs after leaving the government rather than leaving the money in the TSP, because of its limited withdrawal choices. This means the TSP has to revise rules, update computer systems, rewrite forms and more.

Among other changes, investors who have retired or otherwise left the government will be allowed to take withdrawals quarterly or annually in addition to monthly; change, stop or restart them at any time, within certain limits; and choose whether to take money from traditional or from Roth balances, for those with both. Also, those still working past age 59½ will be able to take up to four withdrawals without a tax penalty annually — currently, only one such withdrawal is allowed lifetime.

“We had looked into phasing them, and it turned out that it was not the timesaver we had hoped,” TSP spokesman Kim Weaver said. “We are very aware that our participants want this flexibility as soon as possible.”

nation+world Report: Program will be insolvent in 2026, earlier than expected POLITICS Medicare will run out of money sooner than expected, and Social Security’s financial problems can’t be ignored either, the government said Tuesday in a sobering checkup on programs vital to the middle class.

The report from program trustees says Medicare will become insolvent in 2026 — three years earlier than previously forecast. Its giant trust fund for inpatient care won’t be able to fully cover projected medical bills starting at that point.

T he rep or t s ays S o ci a l

Security will become insolvent in 2034 — no change from the projection last year.

Because of the deterioration in Medicare’s finances, officials said the Trump administration will be required by law to send Congress a plan next year to address the problems, after the president’s budget is submitted.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said there is time to fix the problems. “The programs remain secure,” he said. Medicare “is on track to meet its obligations to beneficiaries well into the next decade.”

Social Security recipients are likely to see a cost of living increase of about 2.4 percent next year, working out to roughly $31 a month, experts said. At the

Unless lawmakers act, both programs face the prospect of being unable to cover the full cost of promised benefits. With Social Security, that could mean sharply reduced payments for some retirees, many of whom are already on tight budgets. For Medicare, it could mean that hospitals, nursing homes and other providers of medical care would be paid only part of their agreed-upon fees.

Economic experts said the tax bill and other changes from Congress have increased the federal deficit. Some Republicans say that will change if promised economic growth from tax cuts increases government revenue. RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR AND

Fashion icon Kate Spade found dead in her home

MEDICAL RESEARCH

No evidence that sexbots are beneficial

1962-2018 Kate Spade, a fashion designer known for her sleek handbags, was found hanged in the bedroom of her Park Avenue apartment Tuesday in an apparent suicide, police said. She was 55.

Spade’s body was found by a housekeeper not long after 10 a.m., police said. Her husband and business partner, Andy Spade, was in the apartment at the time.

The police department’s chief of detectives, Dermot Shea, said evidence including the state of the apartment and the presence of a note pointed to “a tragic suicide.”

It’s not clear how long Spade had been dead. The medical examiner will perform an autopsy.

The couple’s 13-year-old daughter was at school. Shea wouldn’t discuss what was in the note, but law enforcement officials said that, among other things, it contained a message to the teenage girl telling her it was not her fault.

“We are all devastated by today’s tragedy,” Spade’s family said in a statement. “We loved Kate dearly and will miss her terribly. We would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time.”

Julia Curry, a spokeswoman for the company, said that “Kate will be dearly missed” and “our thoughts are with Andy and the entire Spade family at this time.”

Kate Spade was born Katherine Brosnahan and grew up in Kansas City, Mo. She launched her company with husband Andy in their New York apartment in 1993. She started the company based on six shapes of bags that she thought every working woman needed.

From the original boxy handbags, she expanded into shoes and other accessories, as well as a home line, stationery and three books. Spade won multiple awards

from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

“As an accessory, a great bag that takes the outfit somewhere else is interesting,” Spade told the AP in a 2000 interview.

Spade walked away from the company in 2007, a year after it was acquired from the Neiman Marcus Group for $125 million by the company then known as Liz Claiborne Inc. Coach, now known as Tapestry, bought the Kate Spade brand last year for $2.4 billion.

“She alone didn’t change the handbag world,” tweeted fashion designer Kenneth Cole of Spade, “but she was an inspiring accessory.” COLLEEN LONG (AP)

Healthy companionship is too bold a claim to make about sex robots, warn a pair of doctors in a report published Monday in the journal BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health. The doctors scoured medical literature for reports concerning the health aspects of sex robots, finishing their search as they began: emptyhanded. Sexbots have been suggested as a way to promote safe sex, as therapy, or as companions for the elderly or people with disabilities. But the doctors concluded that the precautionary principle should be applied: In the absence of evidence, clinicians should steer patients away.

Collision-course asteroid burns up safely

A boulder-size asteroid disintegrated harmlessly over Africa on Saturday, just hours after being discovered. The asteroid, dubbed 2018 LA, was spotted near the moon’s orbit Saturday morning, aiming straight for Earth. Asteroid trackers at NASA and elsewhere quickly determined the rock — about 6 feet across — was too small to pose any danger. It’s only the third time scientists have spotted an incoming asteroid on a direct collision course with Earth. (AP)

Miss America ends swimsuit part of pageant ENTERTAINMENT When the Miss America pageant started in 1921, having young women parade around in bathing suits seemed like a great way to attract tourists to the Atlantic City Boardwalk.

But how America views women has changed since then.

Accordingly, when the pageant is held this September, nearly a year into the #MeToo era, it will no longer have a swimsuit competition.

“We’re not going to judge you on your appearance because we are interested in what makes you you,” Gretchen Carlson, a former Miss America and the new head of the organization’s board of trustees, said in an announcement Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Carlson, whose sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes led to his departure, said the board had heard from potential contestants who lamented, “We don’t want to be out there in high heels and swimsuits.”

Instead of wearing a bathing suit, each contestant will interact with the judges to “highlight her achievements and goals in life and how she will use her talents, passion and ambition to perform the job of Miss America,” the organization said.

Carlson said the eveningwear portion will also be changed to allow women to wear something other than a gown. The talent portion of the competition will remain. WAYNE PARRY (AP)

SPACE NASA is talking to several international companies about forming a consortium that would take over operation of the International Space Station and run it as a commercial space lab, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in an interview. “We’re in a position now where there are people out there that can do commercial management of the International Space Station,� Bridenstine said in his first extensive interview since being sworn in as NASA administrator in April.

The White House touched off a heated discussion about the future of the orbiting laboratory earlier this year when it said it planned to end direct government funding of the station by 2025, while working on a transition plan to turn the station over to the private sector.

It was unclear, who, if anyone, would want to take over operations of the station, which costs NASA about $3 billion to $4 billion a year and is run by an international partnership that includes the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and the European Space Agency. An orbiting

Political football in D.C. Trump, Eagles trade barbs about who is to blame for canceling the White House visit

WASHINGTONPOST.COM POWERPOST

Abbreviated August recess may hurt Dems

GETTY IMAGES

WASHINGTON Taking on the NFL and football’s Super Bowl champs, President Trump gave the boot to a White House ceremony for the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday and instead threw his own brief “Celebration of America” after it became clear most players weren’t going to show up.

Both sides traded hot accusations about who was to blame.

Trump tried to turn the fracas into a referendum on patriotism and tie it to the dispute over players who have taken a knee during the national anthem to protest racism and police brutality.

However, Eagles players never knelt during “The Star-Spangled Banner” throughout the 2017 season and their march to the Super Bowl. Defensive end Chris Long said the NFL anthem policy change and Trump’s reaction to it were not even discussed by the players in meetings about making the visit.

The White House accused Eagles team members of pulling a “political stunt” and abandoning their fans by backing out at the last minute. Indeed, few apparently were going to come, though some expressed disappointment that they’d been disinvited and complained Trump was unfairly painting them as anti-American.

Through it all, Trump appeared to revel in fanning the flames of a culture war that he believes revs up his political base.

Trump had long been leery of the Eagles’ planned visit to the White House, in part because the team’s owner, Jeffrey Lurie, has been a Trump critic, and because several players have been vocal critics of the league’s new policy that requires players to stand if they’re on the field during the national anthem or else stay in the locker room.

President Trump threw his own “Celebration of America” ceremony Tuesday instead of hosting the Eagles.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the team notified the White House last Thursday that 81 people, including players, coaches, managers and others, would be attending the Super Bowl celebration. But she said the team got back in touch late Friday and tried to reschedule, “citing the fact that many players would not be in attendance.”

The Eagles proposed a time when Trump would be overseas.

Eagles officials declined comment on the White House version of events, sticking with a simple earlier statement: “We are truly grateful for all of the support we have received and we are looking forward to continuing our preparations for the 2018 season.”

Trump, furious about the small number of Eagles who were coming, scrapped Tuesday’s visit, believing a low turnout would reflect poorly upon him. He had told aides last year he was embarrassed when Tom Brady,

Political win for Trump?

President Trump believes the anthem controversy is a winning issue for him and was pleased that last month’s announcement of the NFL’s new policy returned it to the news, according to people familiar with his thinking but not authorized to discuss private conversations.

The president told one confidant Monday that he aims to revive the issue in the months leading up to the midterm elections, believing its return to the headlines will help Republicans win votes. (AP)

star quarterback of that season’s champion New England Patriots, opted to skip a White House visit.

In lieu of hosting the Eagles, the president held what he dubbed a “patriotic celebration” that was short and spare. A military band and chorus delivered “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America,” with brief Trump

remarks sandwiched in between.

“We love our country, we respect our flag and we always proudly stand for the national anthem,” Trump said.

The White House crowd of roughly 1,000, mostly dressed in business suits, was light on Pennsylvanians and heavy on administration and GOP officials.

Several in attendance blamed the players, not the president, for torpedoing the Eagles event.

The players who planned to stay away had various reasons beyond Trump’s opposition to the protests, including general feelings of hostility toward the president, one official said.

Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, who had planned to skip the event “to avoid being used as any kind of pawn,” said in a statement that at the White House a “decision was made to lie, and paint the picture that these players are anti-America, anti-flag and anti-military.”

The Senate will cancel most of its annual August recess, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told senators Tuesday, an electionyear move that will force vulnerable Democrats to shuffle their campaign schedules.

The Senate will now recess for one week in August instead of four, said McConnell, R-Ky. He said that to make progress on spending bills and nominations, “it’s necessary for us to be here in August and to do our work.”

The additional workweeks in August mean that endangered Democratic senators on the ballot this year will face a dilemma: Stay in Washington and attend to Senate business during time they could otherwise use to campaign back home or remain in their states and face criticism that they are shirking their responsibilities.

The new schedule could also enable their Republican challengers — many of whom hail from the private sector or state government — to have the states to themselves during the late summer stretch.

The House still plans to be out of session for the month of August.

Democrats are defending 26 Senate seats this year, including two represented by independents in Vermont and Maine, and 10 in states Donald Trump won in 2016. Republicans have nine incumbents on the ballot. SEAN SULLIVAN

DRAFT STRATEGY

Injury risks don’t scare Nats’ Rizzo

CAPITALS AT GOLDEN KNIGHTS | GAME 5: 8 P.M. THURSDAY, NBC

RICKY CARIOTI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Closing time

One win stands between the Caps and the Stanley Cup, but no team has squandered more 3-1 playoff series leads

STANLEY CUP FINAL The Capitals lead the Stanley Cup finals three games to one. In other cities, you maybe stock up on champagne. Lay the groundwork for a sick day at the office.

Scout parking along the parade route. But this is Washington, and these are the Capitals. Two-game leads can feel about as comfortable as a parka in summertime.

While teams holding a 3-1 lead almost always go on to win the Stanley Cup, the Caps are a franchise that’s still haunted by playoff phantoms from years ago.

There were the Islanders (1980s), the Penguins (1990s, 2000s and beyond), the Rangers and the Canadiens, too. All trailed Washington 3-1 in the playoffs, and all came back to spoil the Caps’ Cup hopes. No NHL team has blown more 3-1 postseason leads than Washington (five).

For years, the Caps couldn’t

shake the nightmarish visions.

Players would shrug off the calamitous history, and fans inevitably were left in tears.

But now the Caps lead another series 3-1, courtesy of Monday’s 6-2 win over the Golden Knights.

It was one of the Caps’ most lopsided efforts of these playoffs, and they find themselves teetering on the most exhilarating precipice in sports, one win away from a championship.

This is a team that has already vanquished every pesky demon it’s faced, finally ousting Pittsburgh, finally getting out of the second round, finally exceeding expectations. Now the Caps have just one demon left to slay.

Scared?

“We’re trying to write our own story here,” wing T.J. Oshie said.

“It seems like the rest of the city is on board with that. We’re going to go about our business. We

haven’t dwelled much on the past.”

They’ve certainly exhibited that in these playoffs. Where past teams have wilted, the Caps have dug deeper and counterpunched.

The result is a wholly unfamiliar position — not to mention a foreign sensation that feels faintly like optimism — for the Caps and their fans.

Game 4 was, in a word, weird.

There was no bated breath, no

rising blood pressure or fingernail clippings left scattered on the floor. After a shaky few minutes to open the game, the Caps somehow built a 3-0 lead in the first and never looked back.

“Obviously, we know the fourth one is the hardest to win,” center Nicklas Backstrom said, “but we are just going to refocus here and fly to Vegas and make sure we play our best hockey.”

In the Alex Ovechkin era, the Caps have led after four games on four occasions. They lost Game 5 three times and went on to lose the series twice (2010 against Montreal and 2015 against the Rangers).

“There’s been heartbreak here, we know that. But I think that’s kind of scarred over and has made us a little stronger,” Oshie said. “We’ve done a great job of not getting ahead of ourselves.”

The Nationals invested in pitching Monday, beginning the 2018 MLB draft by picking right-hander Mason Denaburg 27th overall and lefty Tim Cate 65th.

With those selections, Nats general manager Mike Rizzo, below, added to a history of taking players whose stock dropped because of injuries.

Past examples include third baseman Anthony Rendon and pitching prospect Erick Fedde.

Denaburg, 18, has touched 97 mph with his fastball but was shut down for a month of his season with Merritt Island (Fla.) High School due to biceps tendinitis.

He pitched in front of Nats scouts once he returned. Cate, who pitched for UConn, missed nearly two months this season with tightness. (TWP) forearm tightn

Game 4 smashes local TV record for Caps

The Capitals’ 6-2 win over Vegas in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final drew a 22.9 local TV rating, the highest the D.C. market has ever produced for an NBC broadcast of the team. According to NBC, Game 1 set the previous record of 16.0.

In 1998, the only other time Washington made the finals, Game 1 on Fox garnered a 13.7 local rating.

NBA FINALS

Whoever wins won’t visit the White House

WARRIORS AT CAVALIERS | GAME 3: 9 TONIGHT, ABC

Livingston, McGee show Warriors aren’t shallow Efficient role players lift up Golden State in series full of All-Stars NBA FINALS Shaun Livingston and JaVale McGee have been giving the Warriors a huge lift in these NBA Finals by making every shot they take look easy. Then again, they all have been easy.

Entering Game 3 in Cleveland tonight (9, ABC), Livingston is a perfect 9-for-9 from the field in the series. McGee is 8-for-9, and his lone miss came when he tried a dunk and hit the rim instead.

The average distance of their made field goals is a staggeringly close 31/2 feet.

For as spectacular as LeBron James has been in the first two

games, his Cavaliers are down 2-0 largely because the Warriors’ supporting cast members like Livingston and McGee — both journeymen — are soundly outplaying their Cavs’ counterparts.

Stephen Curry is averaging 31 points and playing like an NBA Finals MVP. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson have been brilliant.

Draymond Green is quietly averaging a near-triple-double. But the Warriors’ motto is “strength in numbers,” and Livingston and McGee personify that.

“It’s just being aggressive, being in the right spot too,” Livingston said.

Of his nine shots, Livingston has taken three jumpers, all from about 13 feet. McGee, who started Game 2, made one shot from about 6 feet, and his other

eight attempts from the floor have been at the rim.

It’s a difficult enough spot for the Cavaliers to deal with Curry, particularly when he is coming off an NBA Finals-record nine 3-pointers in Game 2. It’s daunting to deal with Durant, one of the few guys in the league who can post up against James or shoot over him with ease. It’s maddening to chase Thompson and have him get shots off using his super-quick release, even when he’s fairly well covered.

But Livingston and McGee shooting 17 for 18, that just doesn’t seem fair.

“We’ve just got to do a better job of taking away the easy dunks and layups around the basket,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. TIM REYNOLDS (AP)

Neither Stephen Curry nor LeBron James will be at the White House anytime soon. The NBA superstars were among the members of the Warriors and Cavaliers to speak out Tuesday in support of the Super Bowl champion Eagles, who were scheduled to visit President Trump before he canceled the visit after it was clear most of the team’s players didn’t plan to attend. “It’s typical of him,” said James, below, of Trump’s decision to cancel. “I know no matter who wins this series, no one wants the invite anyway.” Trump disinvited the Warriors last year after Curry said he wouldn’t attend the celebration.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Daltrey’s voice is one of a kind

ALBUM REVIEW According to Kanye West, the title of his eighth album revealed itself upon his epiphany that “ye” is the most commonly used word in the Bible.

It isn’t. According to kingjamesbibleonline.org, “ye,” the antiquated pronoun for “you,” hovers somewhere around 40th when it comes to usage. If you’re keeping score, that’s significantly behind “Lord” and “God,” West’s preferred synonyms for self.

Inevitably, every Kanye song winds up being about Kanye. Yet what once came off like goofball charm has calcified into the crass misogyny and dragon energy delusion of “Ye,” the unedited ramblings of the world’s oldest adolescent showcasing the ignorance of a gifted but oblivious fool who stubbornly refuses to acknowledge reality.

A self-serious 23-minute crayon pamphlet of luxurious emptiness, the album limps along, as vacant and inert as the Wyoming skyline on its cover.

In May 2017, reports began

‘Ye’eesh!

Kanye West’s new album is the aimless product of an artist blinded by ego

trickling out of Wyoming about West secluding himself with a rotating cast of visitors. It’s unclear whether those sessions will wind up on one of the other West-produced albums that will be released this month from Kid Cudi, Nas and Teyana Taylor.

But West’s public declarations all indicate that he scrapped everything he had been building in favor of a manic burst of raw creativity.

Each production idea on “Ye” has previously been explored with greater imagination, meticulousness and energy throughout West’s two-decade career. A disembodied vocal chop of Slick Rick’s “Hey Young World” on “No

There is no joy in “Ye,” merely a profound sadness to see a generationally great artist misunderstand the slim nexus between his strengths and weaknesses.

He trumpets his apparent bipolar

diagnosis as a superpower, but his erratic behavior since “Yeezus” has resulted in his two worst albums, tour cancellations and alienation from many of his longtime collaborators.

West doesn’t directly rap about his bond with his “brother” Donon ald Trump. But a subtext hangs ngs heavy over the record that extends much deeper than the music. It’s hard not to note the similarities between the two o in being able to create a cult of personality rooted in an independent dent and constantly shifting reality, ity, where facts are less important ant than feelings, where the only nly worthwhile wisdom comes from om the voices in their heads.

For the past two months, the pop culture and political worlds rlds have been alternately rapt and horrified by West’s every stateatement and endorsements, his trolling scatological singles, les, signed MAGA hats and ahistoric oric pronouncements. All for the sake ake of an album rollout.

All that for this? JEFF WEISS EISS

The Who’s Roger Daltrey has embodied many characters on record, stage and screen, but he’s not a singer whose personality gets lost in the song. “As Long As I Have You,” his solo album released last Friday, is an exquisitely chosen selection of tunes by Stephen Stills, Stevie Wonder and Nick Cave, among others, with Pete Townshend’s guitar on seven of 11 songs.

The end of the album brings a rarity: Daltrey originals. “Certified Rose” is dedicated to his daughter; closer “Always Heading Home” attains added poignancy in light of the 74-year-old 74-year-old’ss brush with mortality.

Shawn Mendes gave a glimpse into his Harry Potter fandom while doing Carpool Karaoke on “The Late Late Show With James Corden” on Monday. “I have a whole book at home that I wrote all the spells in,” said the 19-year-old pop star, who donned a number of Harry Potter costumes during the segment. “[I love] just the magic, like the wands and the weird candies that make you turn into a lion and stuff.” (EXPRESS)

“I’m kind of shocked that I’m winning a fashion award when I’m naked most of the time.”

J. Prince says he asked Drake not to release a response to Pusha T’s “The Story of Adidon,” telling “Sway in the Morning” on Monday that the diss track would’ve been “overwhelming.” “I saw this going in a place that I feel would have ended [Pusha T’s] career if Drake would’ve put out this song that he had on him, and definitely would’ve hurt families,” J. Prince said. “That’s not Drake’s character … to tear a fellow man down to that extent.” Pusha T escalated the feud last week by claiming in “The Story of Adidon” that Drake is hiding a son he had with a former porn star.
