Report: Trump owes D.C. $7M THE DISTRICT President Trump’s speech at the Lincoln Memorial on the Fourth of July is expected to drive up security costs for an annual event that draws hundreds of thousands to the nation’s capital.

But as he prepares to take part in the Independence Day festivities, the president has still not fully paid the bill for the last time he addressed a massive crowd on the Mall: his 2017 inauguration.

The Trump administration and Congress have not reimbursed D.C. for more than $7 million in expenses from Trump’s inauguration, according to federal and city financial records. The total cost of the four-day celebration, which culminated with a parade and gathering of roughly 600,000 people on the Mall, was $27.3 million.

As a result, the District was forced to dip into a special fund that covers annual security costs for protecting the city from terrorist threats and hosting other events such as demonstrations, state funerals and the visits of foreign dignitaries. That fund, which for years was adequately replenished by federal dollars,

is now on track to enter the red by this fall, records show.

The situation is riling local officials, who say the federal government is not shouldering its fair share of security costs in the Trump era, which has seen an influx of demonstrators to the nation’s capital. The Fourth of July is shaping up as yet another logistical trial, with a reconfigured fireworks display, increased security for the president and at least one group of activists

already planning a protest.

“We have and will continue to work closely with our federal partners regardless of administration because ensuring the safety of our residents and visitors is paramount,” John Falcicchio, chief of staff to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, said in a statement. “Our commitment to this function is ironclad, and all that we ask of our federal partners is continued cooperation.”

White House officials did not

respond to a request for comment.

Congress originally appropriated roughly $20 million for Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017, records show.

Most of the expense, about $14 million, came from D.C. police deployments. Among the other line items were fire and emergency medical services, which cost $3.6 million.

The end result was a $7.3 million overrun for the event. That was not unusual: President Obama’s second inauguration in 2013 went over budget by $8.9 million.

The fund could go even further into the hole as warm weather brings more demonstrators and other public gatherings to the nation’s capital — and as the city potentially deals with new costs stemming from Trump’s address to the nation on July 4.

The president’s appearance on the Mall is expected to bring with it a host of new security expenses and logistical headaches, requiring security for his movements and potentially cutting off visitors’ access to Metro stations.

“We still have not been reimbursed,” said D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton. “And now they’re talking about yet another event of a kind we’ve never had before.” PETER JAMISON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

State Sen. Bill Ferguson, D-Baltimore City, said there needs to be “accountability for the executives who oversaw these decisions” within the system, which receives significant taxpayer funding.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan appointed 11 new members to the board Wednesday. He told reporters Thursday that the resignation of five of the system’s top executives last week was a “step in the right direction.” When asked about the board’s decision to invite members to return, Hogan said: “This is a private, nonprofit board, and we can’t control all the decisions they made.”

Fare evaders also evade fines TRANSPORTATION When the D.C. Council voted in January to decriminalize fare evasion on Metro’s trains and buses, it left a $50 fine as the only penalty.

But the District, unlike jurisdictions such as Arlington and Montgomery counties, doesn’t track whether people actually pay up, believing that doing so is Metro’s responsibility, city officials said.

Metro officials say they don’t check either, contending the District should be doing it.

And neither has plans to start.

“The fine is paid to the jurisdiction for a violation of law in the jurisdiction,” Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said. “It is therefore in the jurisdiction’s interest to ensure it is collected.”

M ayor Muriel Bowser ’s spokeswoman, LaToya Foster, countered that “fines are issued and collected by WMATA.” While the uncertainty continues over whose responsibility it is to track fines, only a small portion of the fines issued by Metro police in D.C. are being paid, potentially costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Because nobody is keeping track, exactly how many citations have gone unpaid over the years is unknown. But according to Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly, transit police issued 13,649 fare evasion citations in Washington between October 2017 and May 8 of this year, covering the city’s two most recent fiscal years. The typical fare evasion fine was $50, even before decriminalization, which took effect May 3, lowered the maximum fine from $300 to $50, Stessel said.

At $50 apiece, the 13,649 tickets would represent $682,450 in fines. But Metro collected and gave the city only $115,772 in

FREDRICK KUNKLE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Confusion between Metro and D.C. over collections has left hundreds of thousands in penalties unpaid

The District could be out hundreds of thousands of dollars because no one is keeping track of unpaid Metro fines.

fare evasion fines during that period, said David Umansky, spokesman for the city’s chief financial officer. That represents just 17% of the likely total.

D.C. Auditor Kathleen Patterson said her office hasn’t looked at the issue of fine collections lately. But, she said, “any time there are fines that have gone uncollected, that is an issue that needs addressing.”

Under a long-standing practice that neither the city nor Metro could explain, those who receive fare evasion citations in D.C. are supposed to send a check or money order to Metro, instead of directly to the city, as done in other jurisdictions. Until recently, checks were supposed to be made out to the city treasurer. Now they’re made out to D.C. Superior Court. Metro then sends the money to D.C.’s Office of Finance and Treasury.

Cause of confusion The penalty confusion comes amid uncertainty over Metro’s issuance of citations in the city after the D.C. Council overrode Mayor Muriel Bowser’s veto of the decriminalization bill Jan. 22. Metro Police Chief Ron Pavlik ordered a temporary halt to citations in May because he believed the new decriminalization law, as written, no longer gave transit police the authority to issue tickets, nor did it set up an appeals process. The D.C. Council quickly passed an emergency bill clarifying that transit police do have the authority to issue tickets, but left Pavlik’s other concerns about the appeals process for the Bowser administration to figure out later. A Metro official said staff are examining the policy and legal issues around citations and will give a report to the WMATA board in July, but declined to say if it will clarify who is supposed to track if fines are paid. (EXPRESS)

Maryland plans to pursue toll lanes on lower part of Interstate 270 first, official says

But neither Metro nor the city could cite a regulation or agreement saying which agency is then supposed to track any unpaid fines. Metro simply sends the checks to the city, Ly and Umansky said. But Umansky said his office is responsible only for receiving the money and putting it into the right city account.

The money used to go into D.C.’s general fund but now goes to the D.C. Superior Court’s crime victims compensation fund.

Metro’s Stessel said the city should be keeping track of whether fines are being paid, as other jurisdictions say they do.

Arlington County Board Chairman Christian Dorsey, who represents Virginia on Metro’s board, and Montgomery County spokesman Neil Greenberger agreed. Both said their counties track fines they receive because they, not Metro, ultimately get

the money.

Montgomery County, where Greenberger said an unpaid fine triggers a court summons, collects a much higher portion of its fines than D.C. does. Between June 2017 and December 2018, Greenberger said, 412 of the 568 citations Metro police issued in Montgomery County for a variety of offenses were paid or otherwise closed, about 73% of the total.

An Arlington Court General District Court deputy clerk said unpaid fines there are flagged by its computer system and referred to the Department of Motor Vehicles, which can suspend an offender’s driver’s license. Dorsey could not immediately say what proportion of Metro citations in the county are being paid. Both counties penalize fare evasion only with a fine.

Umansky said his office believes tracking fines is a law enforcement responsibility. Under current city policies, the chief financial officer’s office doesn’t have the power to collect Metro fines anyway, he said. The office “has no legal authority to enforce the unpaid citations. It simply receives the money and then transfers it,” he said.

D.C. Council member Jack Evans, D-Ward 2, one of D.C.’s representatives on Metro’s board, was not available for comment, a spokesman said.

D.C. Council member Charles Allen, D-Ward 6, who championed decriminalization, said he’s confident the issues will get sorted out.

“Laws change frequently and agencies charged with enforcement adjust to those changes, so I fully expect any process for collecting fines to stabilize after more than one month of the new law being effective,” he said in a statement. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

limpet mines — designed to be attached magnetically to a ship’s hull — to attack four oil tankers off the nearby Emirati port of Fujairah, and the bombing of an oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia by Iranian-backed fighters in May. “Taken as a whole, these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security, a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and an unacceptable campaign of escalating tension by Iran,” Pompeo said.

MIDDLE EAST The U.S. blamed Iran for suspected attacks on two oil tankers Thursday near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, denouncing what it called a campaign of “escalating tensions” in a region crucial to global energy supplies.

The U.S. Navy rushed to assist the stricken vessels —including one that was set ablaze — in the Gulf of Oman, about 25 miles off the southern coast of Iran.

The ships’ operators offered no immediate explanation as to who or what caused the damage against the Norwegian-owned MT Front Altair and the Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous.

Each ship was loaded with petroleum products, and the Front Altair burned for hours, sending up a column of thick, black smoke.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the U.S. assessment of Iran’s involvement was based on intelligence as well as the expertise needed for the operation.

It was also based on recent incidents in the region that the U.S. blamed on Iran. Pompeo said the incidents included the use of

Iran denied being involved in the attacks last month and its foreign minister called the timing of Thursday’s incidents suspicious, given that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was meeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran.

Pompeo noted that Abe had asked Iran to enter into talks with Washington, but Tehran “rejected” the overture.

“The supreme leader’s government then insulted Japan by

Regardless of who is responsible, the price of a barrel of benchmark Brent crude spiked as much as 4% immediately after the attack, showing how critical the region remains to the global economy. JON GAMBRELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WASHINGTON A federal watchdog agency recommended Thursday that President Trump fire one of his most ardent defenders, counselor Kellyanne Conway, for repeatedly violating a law that limits political activity by government workers.

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which is unrelated to special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, said in a letter to Trump that Conway has been a “repeat offender” of the Hatch Act by disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity during television interviews and on social media.

Federal law prohibits employees of the executive branch from using their official authority or influence to affect the result of an election. Trump and Vice President Pence are exempt from the Hatch Act. The recommendation to fire Conway is the first time the watchdog office has recommended the removal of a White House official over Hatch Act violations. The agency lacks the authority to fire her. Conway told reporters who saw her in the White House press office Thursday, “I have no reaction.”

White House spokesman Steven Groves called the decision “unprecedented” and “deeply flawed” and said it violated Conway’s constitutional rights to free speech and due process. KEVIN FREKING AND DARLENE SUPERVILLE (AP)

Officers hurt in unrest after shooting by police U.S. marshals kill man in Memphis; crowd throws rocks at cops MEMPHIS, TENN. Police enforced a tense calm Thursday in a Memphis, Tenn., neighborhood where 25 officers were injured by a rock-throwing crowd following a black man’s shooting death by U.S. marshals on a fugitive task force.

Elected officials condemned the crowd as violent, and the police chief pleaded for patience while state authorities investigate the killing. Unanswered questions about the circumstances left many people angry as they recalled with bitterness a litany of police-involved

shootings around the country.

Crowds appeared shortly after the task force shot 20-year-old Brandon Webber around 7 p.m.

Wednesday, and numbers grew swiftly as people livestreamed the scene on social media.

Memphis police initially responded in street uniforms, then returned in riot gear as people threw rocks and bricks. Mayor Jim Strickland said 25 officers were injured, six of them seriously enough to need hospital treatment.

Officers cordoned off several blocks around the scene in the Frayser neighborhood north of downtown and arrested three people. By 11 p.m., officers had used tear gas and most of the crowd dispersed, police director Michael Rallings said.

Early Thursday, officers on horseback patrolled the area, and lines of police cars with flashing blue lights were parked along the street. An ambulance waited at the outer edge, and a helicopter flew overhead.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Keli McAlister said the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force went to a Frayser home to look for a suspect with felony warrants.

Marshals saw the man get into a vehicle and then proceed to ram task force vehicles several times before exiting with a weapon, McAlister said. Marshals then opened fire, killing the man, who died at the scene. The TBI identified the dead man Thursday as Webber. ADRIAN SAINZ (AP)

Archaeologists have unearthed the earliest direct evidence of people smoking marijuana from a 2,500-year-old graveyard in western China. In a complex of lofty tombs in the Pamir Mountains — a region bordering modern China, Pakistan and Tajikistan — excavators found 10 wooden bowls and several stones containing burnt residue of the cannabis plant, as reported in the journal Science Advances.

Scientists believe heated stones were used to burn the marijuana and people then inhaled the smoke as part of a burial ritual. The history of ancient drug use has long intrigued scholars.

Man arrested in transgender woman’s death DALLAS A 33-year-old man has been arrested in the slayings of three women in Dallas, including a transgender woman whose death brought national attention, police said Wednesday.

Kendrell Lavar Lyles has been charged with three counts of murder in the deaths, including last month’s slaying of 23-year-old transgender woman Muhlaysia Booker, Dallas police Maj. Max Geron said.

Lyles was being held without bond in the Collin County Jail.

The June 5 arrest came after tips from the public led police to Lyles as the suspect in the deaths of two women in the Collin County section of north Dallas, Geron said. Authorities haven’t disclosed the names of those victims, but further investigation led them to the Booker slaying in Dallas County, southeast of downtown Dallas.

“We don’t know the motive [for the slayings] at this point.

We know that the meeting for one [Collin County] murder was, according to the witness, to engage in a drug transaction.

The reason for the shooting is still unknown,” Geron said.

Booker’s death came a month after a cellphone video showed her being brutally beaten in a separate incident.

Lyles also is being investigated in the death of transgender woman Chynal Lindsey, 26, whose body was found June 1 in White Rock Lake in Dallas, Geron said. TERRY WALLACE (AP)

Two scientific agencies in the Department of Agriculture will move from D.C. to the Kansas City area, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said Thursday. Nearly 550 jobs at the Economic Research Service and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture are to move by Sept. 30.

Some employees said the cost-saving moves would devastate the agencies. (TWP)

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed sweeping abortion protections into law Wednesday, establishing women’s access to the procedure as a “fundamental right” and putting Illinois at odds with Republican-led states that have been embracing steep abortion restrictions.

The law also requires insurance coverage for abortions, contraception and related care. (AP)

‘We are outgunned’

“Deepfake” videos are becoming more sophisticated and realistic.

J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE (AP)

TECHNOLOGY Top artificial intelligence researchers across the country are racing to defuse an extraordinary political weapon: computer-generated fake videos that could undermine candidates and mislead voters during the 2020 presidential campaign. And they have a message: We’re not ready.

The researchers have designed automatic systems that can analyze videos for the telltale indicators of a fake, assessing light, shadows and blinking patterns.

But for all that progress, the researchers say they remain vastly overwhelmed by a technology they fear could herald a damaging new wave of disinformation campaigns, much in the same way fake news stories and deceptive Facebook groups were deployed to influence public opinion during the 2016 election.

Powerful new AI software has effectively democratized the creation of convincing “deepfake” videos, making it easier than ever to fabricate someone appearing to say or do something they didn’t really do, from harmless satires and film tweaks to targeted harassment and deepfake porn.

And researchers fear it’s only a matter of time before the videos are deployed for maximum damage — to sow confusion, fuel doubt or undermine an opponent, potentially on the eve of a White House vote.

“We are outgunned,” said Hany Farid, a computer science professor and digital forensics expert at the University of California at Berkeley. “The number of people working on the video-synthesis side, as opposed to the detector side, is 100 to 1.”

These AI-generated videos have yet to drive their own political scandal in the U.S. But even

simple tweaks to existing videos can create turmoil, as happened with the recent viral spread of a video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., distorted to make her speech stunted and slurred. That video was viewed more than 3 million times.

Deepfakes have already made their appearance elsewhere: In Africa last year, a video of Gabon’s long-unseen president Ali Bongo, who was believed in poor health or already dead, was decried as a deepfake by his political opponents and cited as the trigger, a week later, for an unsuccessful

Many already skeptical In a Pew Research study released this month, about two-thirds of Americans surveyed said altered videos and images had become a major problem for understanding the basic facts of current events. More than a third said “made-up news” had led them to reduce the amount of news they consume overall. (TWP)

coup by the Gabonese military.

The threat of deepfakes, named for the “deep learning” AI techniques used to create

them, has become a personal one on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers held a hearing Thursday devoted to the threat of artificially generated imagery.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Thursday, “I don’t think we’re well prepared at all. And I don’t think the public is aware of what’s coming.”

The trick for unraveling a deepfake, researchers said, is building a tool that works in what cryptography circles call a “trustless environment,” in which authoritative details of the video’s creator, origin and distribution can be impossible to trace. And speed is critical: With every minute that an investigator spends debunking video, a clip can spread that much further across the web.

Siwei Lyu, director of a computer vision lab at the State University of New York at Albany, helped pioneer research last year that found many deepfakes had a telltale clue: a lack of blinking. It was an investigative victory — until two weeks later, when Lyu received an email from a deepfake creator who said they had solved the problem in their latest fakes.

The challenge to some appears insurmountable, and has led some researchers to instead pursue an authentication system that would fingerprint footage right as it’s captured. It could help make fakes easier to spot, but would require agreement from makers of smartphones, cameras and websites — a far-off proposal that could take years.

“I worked on detection for 15 years. It doesn’t work,” said Nasir Memon, a professor of computer science and engineering at New York University.

“Meanwhile, the adversary has really gone up a few notches.”

Study: Bitcoin emits as much carbon as Vegas TECHNOLOGY The virtual currency bitcoin is responsible for the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as a city like Las Vegas or Hamburg, and efforts to reduce its climate footprint should be considered, researchers said Thursday.

A study published Wednesday in the journal Joule examined how much power is consumed by computers used to generate bitcoins and process transactions.

Researchers said they then combined the results with the carbon emissions from electricity production in the countries where the computers were located.

They concluded that, in late 2018, the entire bitcoin network was responsible for 22 million to 22.9 million tons of CO2 per year — similar to a large Western city or an entire developing country like Sri Lanka. Total global emissions of the greenhouse gas from the burning of fossil fuels were about 37 billion tons last year.

“There are bigger factors contributing to climate change,” said Christian Stoll, one of the study’s authors. “However, the carbon footprint is big enough to make it worth discussing the possibility of regulating cryptocurrency mining in regions where power generation is especially carbon-intensive.”

Alex de Vries, a bitcoin researcher, estimates the currency’s carbon footprint at about 271 kilograms of CO2 per transaction — or several hundred times that of a standard credit card payment. FRANK JORDANS (AP)

Washington Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the combative White House press secretary whose tenure was marked by controversy and questions about her credibility, will be leaving after 22 months on the job, President Trump announced Thursday.

The president shared the news of her unexpected departure in a tweet, writing: “After 3½ years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas.”

He added: “She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas — she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!”

Sanders, 36, has been among the longest-serving senior officials in Trump’s administration. During her rocky stint as the president’s official spokeswoman, Sanders endeared herself to her boss and to his supporters with her staunch defense

of him and his remarks. She often amplified Trump’s criticism of the news media.

Sanders’ time as press secretary is notable for what she didn’t do as much as for what she did. Under her watch, her principal function as press secretary — representing the White House in media briefings — all but ceased to exist. The White House set a record in January for the longest stretch in modern history without a news briefing, 41 days. It then set a new record, of 42 days, in March, followed by a third streak, reaching 94 days Thursday.

In recent months, Sanders’ primary public contact with reporters was on the White House driveway, where she would hold irregular and impromptu “gaggles,” usually after appearing on Fox News.

The terms of her departure were unclear, though Sanders told staff around 4 p.m. in her office that it was her choice, according to people with knowledge of her comments who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Sanders replaced Trump’s first secretary, Sean Spicer, after he resigned in July of 2017.

There were plenty of good seats available to see Max Scherzer pitch in late May at Nationals Park.

BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

Declining crowds: Why the Nats are selling fewer seats The Nationals began their longest homestand of the year Thursday against Arizona, with important division series next week against Philadelphia and Atlanta. They arrived home at a perfect time: Winners of 12 of their past 17 games entering Thursday, they’re creeping back into the NL East race. School is letting out, so young fans with hopes their team is returning to the pennant race easily could be lured to Nationals Park.

But in what numbers? People just aren’t showing up at the rates of recent years. Through 30 home dates, attendance was down 1,899 fans per game through the same number of games in 2018. The average crowd of 27,834 was the lowest

since 2011. What’s going on?

“That’s certainly a fair question,” said Jake Burns, in his first year as the Nats’ executive vice president for business operations.

Burns said attendance depends on a litany of factors: the team’s performance, the weather, whether a bobblehead is handed out, etc.

But this drop of almost 3,400 from last year’s full season average of 31,230, Burns said, was predictable for two reasons. Last July, the Nats hosted the All-Star Game, which usually increases overall attendance. Plus, 2018 was, as Burns said, “a season of very high expectations that weren’t necessarily met,” which is something of an understatement.

This all fits under a couple of larger umbrellas: MLB’s

declining attendance, which is due to drop for the fifth consecutive season, and the decreasing numbers of people who attend live sports events, period. The NFL is down. College football is down a lot. Start spitting out the reasons: It’s expensive, HD TV is so good, it’s expensive, it’s time-consuming, and it’s expensive.

MLB said Wednesday attendance is down between 1% and 2% from early June a year ago.

So the Nats are hardly unique.

The Blue Jays and Giants are each down more than 6,000 per game; the Orioles, more than 4,000.

The Washington metro area is the sixth-largest in the country. It is both affluent and

educated, which fits baseball’s demographic. The club has poured money into payroll, won four division titles in seven years and produced stars.

And yet, in 15 seasons, the Nats have never cracked MLB’s top 10 in attendance. The club has never drawn more than the 2.73 million at RFK Stadium in 2005, the summer baseball returned to town. Their highest rank in attendance: 11th.

Burns said the club is reacting to public input by offering “flexibility and affordability,” ways for fans to buy seats at multiple games for discounts.

Saturday is “Star Wars Day,” and the bobblehead is of “ObiSean Kenobi,” in honor of Star Wars geek Sean Doolittle.

“Look, at the end of the day, it’s 81 games, and we’re coming up with really creative things to get people out here,” Burns said. “We’re really trying to listen to our fans.”

To me, it seems clear. The fans are saying: win baseball games. This year’s team is starting to comply. How many people show up to see that effort is a data point in the health of baseball in this town.

Fowler part of 3-way tie at U.S. Open A pair of dramatic finishes made for a three-way tie at the top Thursday afternoon in the U.S. Open, where friendly conditions helped players go low in the opening round.

Xander Schauffele made an eagle on the 18th hole to move into a tie with Rickie Fowler, above, for the early lead, while Louis Oosthuizen plopped one in from the bunker on his final hole a few minutes later to join them at 5-under 66. On a day when the wind was light at Pebble Beach, Calif., there were plenty of scores in the 60s as players took advantage of the soft greens and pristine conditions. Brooks Koepka, who won the past two U.S. Opens, was in a late group, as was Tiger Woods, who played alongside Justin Rose and Jordan Spieth.

The round ended after Express’ deadline. (AP)

Larry Brown was supposed to be an afterthought.

Instead, he became a legend.

An eighth-round pick by the Redskins in 1969, the running back fumbled so often that new coach Vince Lombardi made him carry the ball everywhere he went. Brown was so often late off the snap that Lombardi ordered a hearing test. Sure enough, the rookie was deaf in his right ear.

When you’re the team’s third running back taken in the same draft, such setbacks mean long-shot odds to make the team, but safety Brig

Owens saw a relentless runner coming at him every practice.

“Larry was very quick and determined. You could see him oozing with confidence,” Owens said. “He was the only guy who talked back to Lombardi. Back then, you had two [offensive] plays you’d run the entire practice. Lombardi said, ‘Larry, if you can’t hit the right hole I’m going to run you back to [Brown’s hometown of] Pittsburgh.”

Along with 50 supporters, Brown, 71, chuckled over memories outside RFK Stadium on Tuesday when District Councilman Vincent Gray announced a renewed push to get him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He

must be recommended by the Seniors Committee because he wasn’t picked by the Selection Committee during the 25 years after he retired.

Brown has a compelling case. He was a four-time Pro Bowl back over his career (1969-76) and was league MVP in 1972. Brown led the NFL with 1,125 rushing yards in

1970 and 1,689 total yards in 1972. Compared to Hall of Fame running backs of the ’60s and ’70s, Brown had more career rushing yards than Gale Sayers (5,875 to 4,956), more rushing TDs than Frank Gifford (35 to 34) and more yards from scrimmage than John Henry Johnson (8,360 to 8,281).

Matildas rally past Brazil with aid from an own goal

China hands South Africa its second group play loss

An own goal gave Australia a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Brazil at the World Cup, even after Marta added a record 16th career tournament goal. Marta, who sat out Brazil’s opening game with a left thigh injury, became the first player to score in five World Cups when she converted a penalty kick in the 27th minute.

Cristiane scored a header to put the Brazilians up 2-0. Caitlin Foord scored before the break to pull Australia (1-1) within one. Chloe Logarzo’s shot from distance in the 58th minute tied it. Australia went ahead on the own goal, an error by Monica that snapped the stalemate in the 66th minute. Sam Kerr appeared to be offside but the goal was awarded after video review. Brazil fell to 1-1. (AP)

China (1-1) is back on track at the World Cup after a 1-0 win against South Africa on Thursday. China evened itself with Spain for second place in Group B with three points, and now focuses on its next match and the push to join group leader Germany in the last 16. Forward Li Ying put 1999 runner-up China ahead in the 40th minute with an opportunistic effort. Meeting Zhang Rui’s right-wing cross, she got ahead of her marker and poked the ball into the bottom right corner. South Africa’s goalkeeper, Kaylin Swart, made two smart, late saves, the second a fine fingertip effort from substitute Yang Li’s curling effort in the 90th. South Africa, the lowest-ranked team playing, was beaten 3-1 by Spain and now has two losses. (AP)

my performance and talent.

It was comparable to some [inductees],” Brown said. “I thought it would happen. The rumor is I didn’t play long enough. The other thing is I didn’t have any godfathers.

Coaches George Allen and Vince Lombardi are dead.”

The one persistent argument against Brown’s selection was a limited career. He was great for two years and very good for three more before injuries limited him in the final three.

But in 2010, the Seniors Committee recommended Floyd Little, who played only one more year than Brown and had similar numbers. Terrell Davis played only seven seasons in Denver, although he was the NFL’s top back for four seasons with 2,008 yards in 1998.

“Larry Brown has done enough, more than enough, to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” Gray said. “We’re going to work to get this done.”

You won’t remember it

The unremarkable ‘International’ is a return trip to a world that no longer feels alien FILM REVIEW Kumail Nanjiani is the best thing about “Men in Black: International.”

That’s saying something, considering that the actor never appears on camera and that the character he lends his expressively plaintive voice to is a CGI alien the size of a gerbil.

The last surviving member of a race that has been hiding out on Earth — in a Marrakech antiques shop, specifically, in the guise of chess pieces — he is an anonymous cog in a larger (well, not that large actually) machine. “Pawns don’t have names,” he tells agents M and H (Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth), operatives from the Men in Black agency, a global police force that monitors and maintains order on the comings and goings of extraterrestrials.

“Pawny,” as they decide to call him, is a source of much-needed comic relief in an otherwise dutifully thriller-ish plot that sees M and H trying to A) keep a worlddestroying weapon out of the hands of evil aliens; B) identify a potential mole inside the MIB

The Men in Black agents zip to a new locale, where other stuff will happen.

organization; and C) kill, capture or avoid assassination by a pair of hit men from another planet.

All this action and adventure is easy on the eyes, and it’s made easier by a narrative that zips and zaps from Paris to New York to London to Naples to the Sahara and the aforementioned Morocco. It’s a scenic, if slightly tedious, travelogue, one that justifies the film’s subtitle while feeling more perfunctory than necessary. As always, the film is populated by a quirky universe of aliens, including a sexy arms dealer with octopus-like limbs

A world in which humans and aliens live side by side in an

Daily Beast: Author Nicholas Sparks tried to ban LGBTQ club at Christian school

uneasy peace is a cute and welcome conceit, if a bit well-worn after four films. Directed by F. Gary Gray (“The Fate of the Furious”), the film is a serviceable if unremarkable diversion from the real world, not a trip through it, despite its name.

Thompson and Hemsworth are unexceptional replacements for Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, who starred in the first three films. Thompson and Hemsworth’s on-screen sizzle, which is supposed to contain a spark of physical attraction, fizzles when it should be fiery. Still, they get the job done, and it’s nice to see more women in black.

For some fans, it will be enough just to revisit a beloved fantasy world of smart-mouthed E.T.s, neuralizers and other gadgets for another two hours. For others, the thought may occur to them that, 22 years after the first film, Men in Black have been getting things done the same way for so long — obeying rules that have always worked, without question — that they could stand to break a few of them.

‘The Dead Don’t Die’

You can’t spell “meh” without M (Tessa Thompson) and H (Chris Hemsworth).

R, 104 min.

In Jim Jarmusch’s zombie comedy, Adam Driver and Bill Murray play Ronnie and Cliff, a pair of amiable small-town police officers who must deal with the arrival of staggering, staring, intestine-eating wraiths.

Unfortunately, the banter becomes stifling and the absurdism wears gratingly thin in “The Dead Don’t Die,” whose deadpan tone gives way to tiresome, grindingly repetitive inertia.

ANN HORNADAY (TWP)

‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’ R, 120 min.

Newcomer Jimmie Fails plays a fictionalized version of himself whose life goal is to move back into the Victorian home that his grandfather built. A visually stunning tone poem to loss, lies, reclamation and making peace with the past, the film virtually defies description.

To see it is to believe it, even when it doesn’t strictly make sense. A.H.

‘Late Night’s’ stars shine bright But it’s at its best and most timely as an attempt to mine comic gold from a moment when professional meritocracy is being reexamined as a bastion of unexamined privilege and boys club nepotism. The complacent bros who populate Katherine’s writers’ room — headed by a monologue writer named Tom (Reid Scott) — live in a post-Harvard Lampoon playpen of self-amused pomposity and entitlement. Now that Molly has invaded that space, they’re thrown into an existential crisis that she finds both annoying and utterly hilarious. When a well-meaning colleague notes that it’s “so important” that the producers hired a woman of color, Molly sweetly replies: “I think it’s important that they hired the funniest, most qualified person, too!”

While Molly manages the selfserving assumptions of her male colleagues, she also manages Katherine’s often cruel imperiousness, whereby she refuses to learn her writers’ names and swoops around in a state of constant high dudgeon. Thompson leans into the witchiness with perfectly delivered gimlet-eyed asides and tetchy retorts, while Kaling offsets the vinegar with soft, unforced sweetness. Their chemistry is delectable.

Directed with efficient unfussiness by Nisha Ganatra, “Late Night” turns out to be an enormously pleasing fable about liberating oneself from the need to please. Like all comedians worth their salt, Kaling sets out to kill — but with kindness.

Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling steal the show (about a show)

Emma Thompson plays Katherine Newbury, a legendary, longtime female host of a late-night TV talk show. Only in the movies, right?!

AMAZON STUDIOS PHOTOS

FILM REVIEW Forget national treasure: Emma Thompson could rent herself out as a national utility. In the alternately sharp-edged and generous-hearted comedy “Late Night,” she is so radiant, so utterly in command of her instruments of voice, body and facial expression, that she could light up an entire urban grid with the slightest suggestion of a grin.

Then again, Thompson’s Katherine Newbury, an acerbic talk show host facing imminent replacement, is more likely to bare her fangs than turn the world on with her smile. As “Late Night” opens, she fires one of her writers after he has the temerity to ask for a raise. Katherine gives Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly a breathtakingly arrogant — and elegant — run for her money.

In fact, “Late Night” shares more than a little DNA with “The Devil Wears Prada”: Mindy Kaling, who also wrote the script, plays an aspiring comedy writer named Molly Patel, who through a series of lucky, maybe not entirely believable breaks lands a job on Katherine’s all-male writing staff. (“Would you consider yourself a litigious person?” Katherine’s longtime producer, played by Denis O’Hare, asks in the interview.) What ensues is a sparkling, stylish, buoyant duet of mutual mentorship, in which Molly sets out to make Katherine relevant

Molly (Mindy Kaling) leaves her job as a chemical plant efficiency expert to become the first and only woman on Newbury’s writing staff.

and Katherine teaches her young protege how to toughen up. (The movie is distributed by Amazon Studios. Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos owns Express.)

“Late Night” possesses many of the beats one would expect from a mainstream comedy: a bit of slapstick here, some wellplaced pop culture jokes there.

‘Late Night’ (R, 119 min.)

DIRECTOR: Nisha Ganatra STARS: Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling, John Lithgow, Amy Ryan IN A NUTSHELL: A lifelong fan of a fallen-out-of-favor late-night talk show host gets hired to the writing staff and risks her job trying to turn her idol’s career around.

‘Shaft’ is a fun, funny update for our times FILM REVIEW The new film “Shaft” is a sequel to 2000’s “Shaft,” which was itself a sequel to the 1971 original blaxploitation classic “Shaft.”

Got it? The story opens with a 1989 prologue: Police officer John Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson), the nephew of the original Shaft, is in a car that gets shot up by bad guys — with his squeeze, Maya, and their infant son, JJ, there with him. Not wanting JJ to grow up facing the violence that follows Shaft wherever he goes, Maya splits, taking the boy with her and issuing strict orders for his father to stay away.

Jump to the present day, when a now grown JJ (Jessie T. Usher) is an MIT graduate working as a data analyst for the FBI. When a childhood friend of his dies under mysterious circumstances, he goes to his dad for help in finding out who is responsible.

What follows is a fine, fun and funny movie that embraces the camp of its predecessors while adding a timely new depth: The generational and cultural differences between Shaft and JJ are largely about what it means to be a black man today. And it’s always enjoyable to watch Jackson dropping F-bombs all over the place. Director Tim Story makes some great visual nods to the ‘71 “Shaft,” but he does miss the mark sometimes. His fight scenes are often too chaotic, and one fetishizes violence so much that Quentin Tarantino might blanch. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Frozen II’

‘Good Boys’

EXPECTED RELEASE: Nov. 22

EXPECTED RELEASE: Aug. 16

SUMMARY: Even “Frozen” isn’t exempt from the darker, grittier sequel strategy that Hollywood has grown so fond of. Our latest look at the follow-up to the 2013 hit finds Anna, Elsa and Co. headed north.

There, paradoxically, the weather is much more autumn-like, so hopefully that singing snowman brought a fan or something. THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: Remember when Jacob Tremblay was a pure and innocent 7-year-old holding his own alongside Brie Larson in “Room”? Well, he’s already old enough now to play a preteen boy who wants to make out with girls at a party and use a drone to spy on his nymphomaniac neighbor. The march of time is cruel and inevitable, folks. T.F.

“Appalled at how disinterested Jaclyn Hill was in her product manufacturing. Should’ve been highly involved in all parts.”

I’m new to DC and the first person I met was my Express distributor at Takoma station. While I’ll only be at that stop for another few weeks, until I find a place to call home, I already know I will miss him.

Every morning he greets each one of us with a smile and has made connections with everyone walking in. Absolutely love getting my copy of Express from him! He’s always there to wish me a great day, awake and cheery.

@GIRLSGOTTEA, tweeting about the ongoing drama over YouTuber Jaclyn

Hill’s makeup release. A week after complaints surrounding her lipsticks first surfaced, Hill on Wednesday published a video to address the issues.

Hill said the holes customers were seeing were oxygen bubbles caused by a quick mass production; the white hairs were “fuzzies” from white cotton gloves used in quality assurance. Fans weren’t reassured by Hill’s video, and criticized her for allowing so many errors to occur.

— Takoma Metro rider

Howdy, neighbor.

@ELLENENDERS, criticizing a doctored photo of 15 male and two female Silicon Valley executives that ran in GQ last week. Buzzfeed News reporter Ryan Mac noticed that the tech summit photo was a bit off.

After Twitter user @benjymous did a reverse Google search, Mac was able to confirm that the women — who did attend the summit, but weren’t present for the photo — had been Photoshopped in.

“And now is when I cry.

I can’t look at these men and not get so emotional.” @BRI_ELYSE1, reacting to Oprah Winfrey’s interview with the Central Park Five: Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise. They were convicted as teens in the rape of Trisha Meili, despite a lack of evidence. Their sentences were vacated in 2002. The subject of the Netflix series “When They See Us,” the men sat down with Oprah to discuss the lasting effects their trial had on them. Oprah has since dubbed them the “Exonerated Five.”

@MIKEBEAUVAIS, joking about the sports analyst’s attire during Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Appearing during the first intermission of the final game — which saw the St. Louis Blues win the Stanley Cup — Barkley bizarrely wore a light blue dress shirt over a darker blue polo.

“Free Willy 4: The Prince of Whales.” @KEVINMKRUSE, joking about President Trump’s latest Twitter typo, in which he referred to Great Britain’s Prince Charles as the “Prince of Whales.” The misspelling sent Twitter into a tailspin of whale puns and jokes, like @LibyaLiberty suggesting Trump had “watched ‘Aquaman’ one too many times.”

Trump deleted the tweet and sent it out again with the correct spelling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Arrangements you’ve made may not hang together today because someone has thrown a wrench in the works. You probably can’t fix this alone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Hard work today yields good results, but not necessarily those that you were anticipating. A friend surprises you with an announcement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your heart and your head are not in perfect alignment, and the imbalance is preventing you from seeing things in the proper light.

DIFFICULT

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles.

A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

Jessica realizes anti-vaxx is bad for the brand

Jamie, Katie starve tabloids of headlines Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are “stronger than ever” while in a longdistance relationship, according to Page Six. Foxx reportedly was overheard discussing Holmes at a recent event in Malibu, Calif., saying things were going “swimmingly.” Foxx lives in Los Angeles and Holmes lives in New York.

The couple, who have been linked since 2013, attended last month’s Met Gala together. (EXPRESS)

Jessica Biel says she’s not opposed to vaccinations, but she does not support a bill in California that would limit medical exemptions. The actress drew criticism after appearing this week in Sacramento with vaccination skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to voice concerns about the measure. Biel posted Thursday on Instagram that she supports children getting vaccinated but that she argued against the legislation because her friends have a child with a medical condition warranting an exemption and the bill would “greatly affect their family’s ability to care for their child.” “I encourage everyone to read more on this issue,” she added.

BACHELORETTE PARTIES

Sophie: Hey, honey? Hold my beer.

Police were forced to interrupt three times during Joe Jonas’ bachelor party in Ibiza, Spain, Nick Jonas said Wednesday on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “We had the cops on the first night call on us three times,” Nick said. “Joe ripped off his shirt in a nightclub, [then] proceeded to rip off two of his friends’ shirts in the nightclub.” (EXPRESS)

Sophie Turner has embarked on a belated, jet-setting bachelorette party after marrying Joe Jonas last month in Las Vegas. The “Game of Thrones” actress, whose trip this week has been documented by friends on social media, began with a Jonas Brothers concert in London before traveling to Berlin, Prague and Benidorm, Spain.
