Evicting gay swans from a rainbow nest is no way to celebrate Pride

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a totally understandable reason to panic

Police in Anchorage, Alaska, are on the lookout for a squirrel that made off from their parking lot with an entire doughnut. In a video posted Sunday on the department’s Facebook page, the squirrel is seen with what appears to be a glazed doughnut clenched in its teeth as it runs through the lot. The department wrote, “He stole a perfectly good donut. FROM A COP. That’s a straight-up felony. Also ... it’s rude.“ (AP/EXPRESS)

Two gay male swans were forcibly removed from their home at a lake in the village of Grundlsee, Austria, after they became aggressive with a number of swimmers in an attempt to protect their nest of colorful plastic cups, the Daily Mail reported Monday. A swan expert was called in to relocate the pugnacious pair, as Mayor Franz Steinegger said he “simply didn’t have the heart to have the two swans killed by a hunter.” (EXPRESS)

A macaw that flew away from an Omaha, Neb., zoo after being spooked by the Goodyear blimp has been found. The Omaha World-Herald reported the macaw, Cayenne, was out for the zoo’s Birds of Flight show Sunday morning when it was startled by the blimp drifting past and flew out of the zoo. Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium staff sought the public’s help, and on Monday morning a resident tipped them off to the bird’s whereabouts. (AP)

Vet’s dream will be reality THE DISTRICT The design for the first national monument in D.C. to Native American veterans came to Harvey Pratt in a dream. Pratt, a 77-year-old Marine Corps veteran and member of the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, woke up with a vision: a steel circle poised above a drum whose surface rippled with water, a flame burning in the circle’s center, the entire structure ringed by a low wall studded with four tall lances. He sat down in his living room in Guthrie, Okla., grabbed a yellow legal pad and started sketching. After months of work and several revisions, a version of Pratt’s drawing was on Tuesday named the winner of the international contest to design the National Native American Veterans Memorial. An eight-member jury appointed by the National Museum of the American Indian — on whose grounds the memorial will be built — unanimously voted for Pratt’s design, titled “Warriors’ Circle of Honor,” over

for over three decades, said he drew on his experience reconstructing suspects and victims’ faces from witness descriptions to help translate his dream of the monument from his mind to the page. He previously designed a memorial in Denver to commemorate the Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado. Groundbreaking for the memorial will take place on September 21, 2019, and the monument is slated to open in late 2020. Pratt said the circle — as well as his use of fire and water in the design — was his answer to the “challenge” of ensuring the memorial represents all Native American veterans, from Native Hawaiians to American Indians to Alaska Natives. He structured the monument around items common to many Native American ceremonies: beating drums, sacred fires and cleansing water. The circle is meant to transcend not only tribal affiliation but time itself. “Indian people saw the circle in the sun and the moon and they saw it in the weather and they saw it in the seasons and the cycle of life,” Pratt said.

Highway expansion a top ‘boondoggle’

BLACKSBURG, VA.

Ex-Va. Tech student gets 50 years in girl’s killing

Advocacy group says I-270, Beltway projects will likely hurt Maryland

7K

KATHERINE FREY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION Maryland’s $9 billion plan to expand the Beltway and I-270 is among the nation’s biggest boondoggles, a public-interest advocacy group said Tuesday in a new report. The report — issued by U.S. PIRG Education Fund and Frontier Group — highlights nine highway projects, including Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s plan to widen certain roadways using public-private partnerships and tolling to pay for them. The advocates say expanding or building new highways always leads to more congestion over time through the wholly predictable phenomenon of “induced demand”: When new capacity opens up, more commuters and cars begin to use the highway until congestion returns. They say building new lanes is also irresponsible when the nation is facing an enormous backlog of needed repairs on existing roads, bridges and other infrastructure — not to mention mass transit systems, such as Baltimore’s and Washington’s. The report advocates a “fix-it-first” policy. The report also argues that even with public-private financing, states such as Maryland will probably incur additional debt

Maryland plans to expand the Capital Beltway, above, and I-270 using a public-private partnership and tolling to pay for the $9 billion project.

to expand highways, given the stagnant revenue coming from the gas tax. The latest report comes as Hogan (R) said the U.S. Interior Department has agreed to evaluate the transfer of part of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, which would also be expanded as part of Hogan’s traffic plan. The plan, unveiled in September, would rely on public-private partnerships — and thus tolls — for at least part of its funding. Amelia Chasse, a spokeswoman for the governor, said Hogan’s plan to expand I-270 and the Beltway is in keeping with a balanced approach to transportation that includes robust spending on transit in addition to highway funding. “Governor Hogan has spent

more on transit projects than any other Maryland governor, including moving forward with construction of the $5 billion Purple Line light rail in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, and signing legislation to provide historic funding to fix the Washington, D.C. Metro system,” Chasse said in an email. Of 32 projects the advocates viewed as “dubious” in other “highway boondoggle” reports, three have been canceled, three were being revised and 13 were receiving additional study, the advocates say. Ten projects are now under construction. Last year’s report singled out Virginia’s plan to widen some of I-66 as part of its effort to use dynamic tolling to ease congestion in the corridor.

Voter snafu sows primary confusion A major voter-registration snafu was causing confusion in Maryland’s primary on Tuesday as officials prepared for as many as 80,000 voters to cast provisional ballots that won’t be counted until next week. State officials were still assessing the fallout from a computer error at the Motor Vehicle Administration. The problem relates to changes voters made in address and party affiliation on the administration’s website or self-service kiosks, information that was not sent to the state elections board. Voting in the primary ended after Express’ deadline. Nikki Charlson, the state elections deputy administrator, said elections officials had not heard of any problems relating to the programing error during the first several hours of voting on Tuesday.

DC RIDER’S ANSWER LINE | KERY MURAKAMI

Stop and go: What’s with the Metro lurch? Q. Today we’re curious about why trains come to a stop at a station and then lurch forward a few inches or feet. What difference does it make? A. It goes back to the deadly June 22, 2009, crash of a Red Line train into a stopped train between the Fort Totten and Takoma Metro stations.

Metro suspended its automated train system after federal investigators determined a faulty track circuit module led to the moving train not automatically stopping for the stationary train in front of it. Metro is paying a consultant $1 million to study bringing back automated train operations, but since the crash, trains have been run manually. The main problem with this, WMATA spokesman Dan

Stessel tells us, is that if the operator overshoots the end of the platform, some of the doors in the front car will be past the platform, inside the tunnel — obviously not a great place for people to get on or off. An operator couldn’t back up without walking through all the cars and running the train the other way from the cab at the other end. And even if they were to try, the system would shut down to prevent the train from going the wrong way. So it’s a lot better to stop a little short than go too far. But the new eight-car trains are 600 feet long — the same length as the platforms. So the operator has to inch up, or the back cars

Metro trains routinely inch forward after coming to a stop.

will be short of the platform. Even though six-car trains, which run about 450 feet long, could stop before the far end of the platform and still have room in the back to clear the tunnel,

operators of the shorter trains are still supposed to go as far as they can on the platform without re-entering the tunnel. The reason for that, Stessel says, is that operators might run both eight- and six-car trains over the course of a shift. So it’s better to have the trains stop at the same point regardless of the length of the train, so that operators who might mistakenly think they’re driving a shorter train don’t stop their longer trains with the rear cars still in the tunnel.

Immigration: Courts weakened by a tweet President Trump’s tweet Sunday about deporting people who “invade our Country … with no Judges or Court Cases” was an ominous message that displayed a dangerous ignorance about the nation he leads. “We’re just disappointed to hear those types of comments because we feel that it represents a fundamental

misunderstanding of the importance of the role of the immigration court and immigration judges,” said A. Ashley Tabaddor of Los Angeles, president of the National Association of Immigration Judges. Trump’s tweet also escalates previous administration efforts to further weaken immigration courts and the judges who already persist in a structurally defective system. Immigration judges strive to

make decisions based on facts, but they work in a system that suffers from the appearance of being stacked against immigrants. Unlike most judges, those in immigration courts are not separate from the executive branch. The nation’s top prosecutor, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, an immigration hawk, oversees the prosecutors and the judges. That clear conflict of interest poses a serious threat to the court, Tabaddor warned in her testimony to a Senate Judiciary subcommittee in April. At that hearing, Sen. Dick Durbin, Ill., ranking Democrat on the border security and immigration subcommittee, said,

President Trump has threatened to deport people without due process.

“The attorney general has the authority and the power to remand an immigration court’s decision to himself if he disagrees with it. Attorney General Sessions has done this

four times.” This is a court with a serious backlog and too few judges. The case load grew from 129,000 cases in 1998 to more than 684,000 in February, said Sen. John Cornyn, R, Texas, the subcommittee chairman. Currently, there are 334 immigration judges and Congress has approved funding for 484, said Tabaddor, who said about 1,000 are needed. While some problems have been around for years, she said, “The Trump administration is taking all the bad ideas and putting them on steroids.” Follow Joe Davidson on Twitter @joedavidsonWP

Police force arrested amid political killings All of Mexican town’s officers held after killing of mayoral candidate MICHOACAN, MEXICO Days after the slaying of a mayoral candidate, state authorities in Michoacan, Mexico, detained a town’s entire police force for questioning. A convoy of more than 80 patrols descended on the town of Ocampo, about 100 miles west of Mexico City, in a surprise arrest operation Sunday, according to local news outlets. Photos show the entire Ocampo police force — nearly 30 officers in total — lined up against a wall with their hands behind their backs. The police agency, including its director, were taken into

custody as part of an “internal investigation” into possible violations of codes of conduct, Michoacan state police said in a statement. Mexican news outlets said the officers were detained on suspicion of possible involvement or “complicity” in the murder of a local mayoral candidate last week. While Michoacan state police offered no link publicly to a specific crime, Mexican news outlets said the police officers were detained in connection with the assassination of a mayoral candidate in the upcoming July 1 elections, Fernando Angeles Juarez, who was aligned with the leftist Democratic Revolution Party. On Thursday, Angeles Juarez was found dead inside a hotel he

owned in Ocampo, according to the state attorney general’s office. He was one of dozens of political candidates killed amid a surge in homicides across Mexico. On Monday, Emigdio Lopez Avendano, a state assembly candidate in southern Mexico, was killed along with several other people in an ambush of his vehicle, his party and state officials said. Since the election process began in September 2017, an estimated 130 politicians have been killed, according to Etellekt, a risk analysis consultancy. Ahead of the July 1 elections, more than 15,000 political candidates are campaigning for more than 3,400 local, state and federal positions, according to the Associated Press.

Miriam

Detained on June 15, she and her 6-year-old son clung to each other after learning they would be separated and that she was being sent to jail. The 40-year-old single mother from Honduras asked that they be deported together immediately. She was told it was too late. She let go and persuaded her son to do the same after officials said they would be separated — one way or another. Iris learned her son is somewhere in Arizona after a social worker contacted a relative. “I go to sleep at night, and the first thing I do is dream of my son,” she said.

They came from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, with kids in tow. They didn’t know a zero-tolerance policy meant they would be separated from their kids after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Five parents who were recently released from federal custody pending the outcome of their immigration and asylum cases shared their stories Monday. They asked that their last names not be used. MORGAN LEE (AP)

Her 4-year-old son was asleep when immigration agents insisted on separating them before dawn. “If I had known, I never would have come” to the United States, she said. The Guatemalan mother said she was led to believe when arrested that her son would be returned to her, wherever she was held. She located him at a holding facility in New York. When she asked a social worker to speak with him, she was told the boy was angry and would not talk. “He thinks you abandoned him,” she was told. It’s unclear when they might be reunited as she pursues asylum in the U.S.

After traveling 17 days from Honduras to reach the U.S. border, he was arrested for crossing illegally. “They said I had violated the laws of the United States,” said the 23-year-old farmhand. “I said, yes, I accept that, but could they take me away with my daughter.” He broke down while recounting that his 5-year-old daughter was more afraid for him, knowing that he was going to jail. Christian spoke to his daughter a week ago, when an official with the local sheriff’s office intervened to find her at a holding facility in Chicago.

The Honduran immigrant and his 17-year-old son were turned away from a port of entry at El Paso, Texas, while seeking asylum. The two opted to cross illegally, wandering through a drying concrete culvert along the border as night approached. They feared rumors of migrants being taken and held for ransom by gangs in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. They were arrested by U.S. authorities and separated soon after, exchanging a simple goodbye. Melvin said he doesn’t know where his son is being held.

The 32-year-old Honduran father spoke of the pain of being separated from his 10-year-old daughter and only child as her birthday came and went Monday, without knowing where she was being held. He was detained May 25 at a fence that marks the U.S.-Mexico border. He said authorities provided a phone number to seek information about his daughter’s whereabouts but there has been no answer. “Since they took my daughter, I haven’t heard anything,” he said, noting that an attorney was assisting him.

The debt is projected to grow to 96 percent of GDP by 2028 before eventually surpassing the historical high of 106 percent it reached in 1946, when there was a spending push after World War II.

17 states sue over splitting up migrant families POLITICS Seventeen states, including New York and California, sued the Trump administration Tuesday to force it to reunite the thousands of immigrant children and parents it separated at the border, as pressure mounted to reconnect families more quickly. “The administration’s practice of separating families is cruel, plain and simple,” New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said in a statement. The states, led by Democratic attorneys general, joined Washington, D.C., in filing the lawsuit in federal court in Seattle. Separately, immigration rights activists asked a federal judge in Los Angeles to order that parents be released and immediately reunited with their children. More than 2,000 children have been separated from their parents in recent weeks and placed in government-contracted shelters under a now-abandoned policy toward families caught illegally crossing the border. President Trump last week issued an executive order to stop the separation of families and said parents and children will instead be detained together. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Tuesday his department still has custody of 2,047 immigrant children separated from their parents at the border. That is only six fewer children than the number in HHS custody as of last Wednesday. MICHAEL BALSAMO, WILL WEISSERT AND GENE JOHNSON (AP)

Exodus as Assad’s forces advance Syrian, Russian airstrikes send civilians deeper into rebel-held areas SYRIA Syrian government forces advanced through southwestern Syria on Tuesday as tens of thousands of civilians fled Syrian and Russian airstrikes, piling on trucks and heading deeper into rebel-held territory. With violence ramping up, diplomats and experts warn that the pocket could become a geopolitical tinderbox capable of destabilizing neighboring Jordan and triggering a wider conflict between Israel and Iran. A cease-fire agreement among the United States, Russia and Jordan had largely kept the peace for months while the Syrian army concentrated on rebelheld regions closer to its capital, Damascus. With those now conquered, Sy r i a n P resident B a sh a r

al-Assad’s forces have turned their attention to Syria’s southwest, with help in recent days from Russian airstrikes. On Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said that forces loyal to Assad had taken control of the town of Busra al-Harir and the nearby Lajat area, prompting an exodus of families and cutting the rebels’ stronghold in half. Relief workers said hospitals had been targeted as well. The United Nations said Tuesday that at least 45,000 people have fled government advances in recent days, a figure that officials said could double as the fighting intensifies. But Jordan — already home to almost 700,000 registered Syrian refugees — said it would keep its border shut. King Abdullah II of Jordan is in Washington this week and is expected to discuss the fate of Syria’s south with American officials. LOUISA LOVELUCK AND ASMA AJROUDI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

COURTS A sharply divided Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries Tuesday, the conservative majority taking his side in a major ruling supporting his presidential power. The 5-4 decision was a big victory for Trump in the court’s first substantive ruling on one of his administration’s policies. It also was the latest demonstration of a newly invigorated conservative majority and a bitter defeat for the court’s liberals. The ruling came on an issue that has been central for Trump’s campaign and presidency. He initially tweeted — “Wow!” — and later hailed the ruling as “a moment of profound vindication” following “months of hysterical commentary from the media and Democratic politicians who refuse to do what it takes to secure our border and our country.” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion for the five conservative justices, including Trump nominee Neil Gorsuch, who got his seat only after Republicans blocked President Barack Obama’s nominee for the last 10 months of Obama’s term. Roberts wrote that the travel ban was well within U.S. presidents’ considerable authority over immigration and responsibility for keeping the nation safe. He rejected the challengers’ claim of anti-Muslim bias that rested in large part on Trump’s own tweets and statements over the past three years. The challengers were led by the state of Hawaii. Roberts was careful not to endorse either Trump’s statements about immigration or Muslims,

People protest Tuesday outside the Supreme Court after justices upheld President Trump’s travel ban.

including his campaign call for a “total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” “We express no view on the soundness of the policy,” Roberts wrote. The policy has “a legitimate grounding in national security concerns,” he added. “The issue before us is not whether to denounce the statements. It is instead the significance of those statements in reviewing a Presidential directive, neutral on its face, addressing a matter within the core of executive responsibility.” The travel ban has been fully in place since December, when the justices put the brakes on lower court rulings that had ruled the policy out of bounds and blocked part of it from being enforced because it found it was motivated by Trump’s prejudice against Muslims. The ban applies even to those with close relatives in the U.S. In her dissent, Justice Sonia

Reactions Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn.: “This decision will someday serve as a marker of shame.” Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii: “Who is going to be next? Is the president going to issue an executive order against Mexicans?” Gadeir Abbas, attorney for the Council on American-Islamic Relations: “The Supreme Court’s decision today will be remembered by the Muslim community just as the Dred Scott decision is remembered by the African-American community [and] as the Korematsu decision is remembered by the JapaneseAmerican community.” (AP/EXPRESS)

Sotomayor said, “History will not look kindly on the court’s misguided decision today, nor should it.” Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan also dissented. Sotomayor wrote that based on

President Trump honors late WWII veteran Garlin Murl Conner with Medal of Honor

the evidence in the case “a reasonable observer would conclude that the Proclamation was motivated by anti-Muslim animus.” She said her colleagues in the majority arrived at the opposite result by “ignoring the facts, misconstruing our legal precedent and turning a blind eye to the pain and suffering the Proclamation inflicts upon countless families and individuals, many of whom are United States citizens.” She likened the case to the discredited Korematsu v. U.S. decision that upheld the detention of JapaneseAmericans during World War II. The Trump policy applies to travelers from five countries with overwhelmingly Muslim populations — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. It also affects two non-Muslim countries, blocking travelers from North Korea and some Venezuelan officials. A sixth majority Muslim country, Chad, was removed from the list in April. MARK SHERMAN (AP)

COURTS The Supreme Court on Tuesday effectively put an end to a California law that forces anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers to provide information about abortion. The 5-4 ruling also casts doubt on similar laws in Hawaii and Illinois. The California law requires centers that are licensed by the state to tell clients about the availability of contraception, abortion and prenatal care. Centers that are unlicensed had to post a sign saying so. The court struck down that portion. The centers said they were singled out and forced to deliver a message with which they disagreed. California said the law was needed to let poor women know all their options. Justice Clarence Thomas, in his majority opinion, said the centers “are likely to succeed” in their constitutional challenge to the portion of the law involving licensed centers. That means that while the law is currently on the books, its challengers can go back to court to halt it. Justice Stephen Breyer said among the reasons the law should be upheld is that the high court has previously upheld state laws requiring doctors to tell women seeking abortions about adoption services. “After all, the law must be evenhanded,” Breyer said in a dissenting opinion joined by his liberal colleagues.

All Naylor Court Lofts units include white oak flooring and quartz counters.

COMING SOON

The Penthouse loft comes with a private roof terrace with a dog run.

“I believe the Naylor Court buyer will be seeking a more unique home, while also wanting to feel a real connection to the Shaw neighborhood and its vibrancy,” Pike says. The lofts share many characteristics — high-end appliances and white oak flooring, for example — but each has unique design elements and perks. The Triplex loft has a free-standing soaking tub in the master bathroom and a private front patio. The Penthouse loft includes a kitchen skylight, contemporary fireplace and a private roof terrace with a dog run. The Garden Level loft has a private patio with a recessed linear fireplace. “I wanted these condos to have the simplicity of modern design but with some light industrial flavor,” Rose says. MICHELE LERNER

Brandywine Realty Trust and the Shooshan Co. recently announced that vertical construction has started on 4040 Wilson, the final phase of the Liberty Center development in Arlington’s Ballston neighborhood. When complete, the 22-story building will be the tallest in Ballston and will include 188,000 square feet of office space, more than 37,000 square feet of retail space and 250 apartments. The building will include a rooftop conference and events space with views of Washington. Residents will have a rooftop with a swimming pool, fire pit and outdoor lounge area that is separate from the corporate events space. A mid-level terrace on the 10th floor also will be available to residents, as will a Vida fitness center. Interior construction is expected to begin in fall 2019, with move-ins beginning in January 2020. MICHELE LERNER

Shaw hits new heights

Architecturally distinct multilevel condos come to Naylor Court CONDO SPOTLIGHT When visitors stroll along O Street NW in Shaw, they may not immediately notice a gray, boxy brick building that looks as if it has been part of the local scenery for as long as some of the nearby residences. While the rectangular building at 928 O St. NW blends into the Blagden Alley-Naylor Court Historic District, it also holds a collection of three new, architecturally distinct condos known as Naylor Court Lofts. “Designing these condos was like playing a game of Jenga,” says Brook Rose, principal of Brook Rose Development, the developer of Naylor Court Lofts.

“I knew that I wanted to avoid doing a standard floor-through condo with one on each level. I wanted to design something more creative and interesting, so each unit has at least two levels.” Rose designed the three large units with empty nesters in mind. Each has more floor space than a typical condo, with three bedrooms and three or fourth bathrooms, and each comes with outdoor space. The three luxury condos are dramatic but also highly practical, says Paul Pike, a senior vice president with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. Pike acknowledges the stiff competition for high-end condos in the District’s Georgetown, West End and Wharf neighborhoods, but he thinks buyers looking at Naylor Court Lofts want something different.

Naylor Court Lofts 928 O St. NW

Price: The three condos are priced from $1.2 million to $2.7 million. Builder: Brook Rose Development Features: Each condo has a modern design with white oak flooring, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and high-end fixtures and finishes such as Porcelanosa cabinets in the kitchens, Restoration Hardware vanities and mirrors in the bathrooms, Pella windows, Waterworks bathroom fixtures, Thermador and Bosch kitchen appliances, and quartz counters and kitchen islands. Each has private outdoor space. Bedrooms/bathrooms: 3 / 3 or 4 Square footage: Approximately 1,685 to 2,870 Condominium association fees: $181 to $371 a month

The Nats wasted a sharp outing by Max Scherzer, who gave up one run in seven innings.

PLAYER’S SUICIDE

QB’s family says autopsy showed CTE

Frustrated in clutch

RAYS 1, NATIONALS 0 Everyone in the Nationals’ clubhouse was diplomatic after their 1-0 loss at Tampa Bay on Tuesday afternoon. But if the players had to choose the worst loss of the season, they probably would have picked this one. They can write off lopsided losses like Monday’s 11-0 defeat at Tropicana Field. And they can live with a close game in which a reliable player lapses. But this was more painful. They wasted a seven-inning, one-run outing by Max Scherzer, who was matched up against journeyman Nathan Eovaldi, who gave up one hit in six innings. The Nationals can no longer call this malaise an aberration. The loss was their 12th in 17 games, and their sixth shutout loss in that time. They have five hits in their past 18 innings. “We just have to keep at them,” manager Dave Martinez said. “We had our chances there at the end.” Yes, the end: The ninth inning

was particularly frustrating for the Nationals. Rays lefty Jose Alvarado began the inning by walking Bryce Harper. Alvarado then moved to first base and Chaz Roe took the mound. With Alvarado holding Harper at first and Anthony Rendon at bat, Martinez wanted his superstar to steal. The Nationals were willing to bet that the Rays wouldn’t ask Alvarado, a secondyear man who has only pitched in the majors, to handle a pickoff attempt. But Harper did not go. “It’s really hard when you have Anthony hitting. He’s a guy who can hit the ball out of the ballpark, hit the ball in the gap,” Martinez said. “It was hard for Harper to time the pitcher.” Roe struck out Rendon, and Alvarado returned to the mound. He gave up singles to lefties Juan Soto and Daniel Murphy that loaded the bases. If Harper had stolen second, he almost certainly would have scored.

STEVE NESIUS (AP)

Nats’ malaise continues as they’re shut out in back-to-back contests at Tampa Bay

Eaton’s work cut back With the emergence of Juan Soto and the hot hitting of Michael A. Taylor, high-energy outfielder Adam Eaton is finding it hard to find a spot on the field. He has started in the outfield only once in the past six games. (He was DH for both games at Tampa Bay.) He is hitting .286 since returning from the disabled list June 9. (TWP)

Instead, the game ended with the bases loaded as Sergio Romo replaced Alvarado and earned his sixth save by getting Trea Turner to fly out and Michael A. Taylor to strike out.

There was a brief scrum near the mound after Taylor struck out when Romo exchanged words with him. Taylor had stolen second in the sixth inning of the Nationals’ 11-2 win over Tampa Bay on June 6. The Nationals led 6-2 at the time and that apparently was considered bad form. Tuesday’s loss left the Nationals 41-37. They can regroup with an off-day today before starting a four-game series at Philadelphia. “Everybody’s been punched in the face before,” Scherzer said of the club’s struggles. “This is the big leagues; they are going to keep coming down your throat.”

Five months after Washington State QB Tyler Hilinski, 21, died by suicide, his family revealed in a Sports Illustrated story published Tuesday that an autopsy found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the brain disease associated with football. The disease can only be diagnosed postmortem, so it’s relatively rare for researchers to identify it in someone so young. “Did football kill Tyler? I don’t think so,” Hilinski’s mother, Kym, said in an SI documentary. “Did he get CTE from football? Probably. Was that the only thing that attributed to his death? I don’t know.” Despite the finding, his brother Ryan plans to play quarterback at South Carolina in 2019. (TWP)

Before Monday’s game against Oakland, the Detroit Tigers hosted an on-field ceremony for immigrants to be sworn in as U.S. citizens.

Both are natives of Cuba. “I will never forget my country, but it’s amazing to be part of the United States,” said Martin, near left. “Being able to do it … in front of the fans was emotional.” (AP)

James Harden accepts his award Monday with his mother, Monja Willis.

Harden easily wins his first MVP award Rockets guard James Harden had twice been runner-up for the league MVP award, but Monday night he won it for the first time. Here’s a look at some of the major awards the NBA handed out Monday night at a hangar at Santa Monica (Calif.) Airport. (AP) MVP: Harden got 86 of 101 firstplace votes from the media, with Cleveland’s LeBron James (15) second and New Orleans’ Anthony Davis (none) third. Harden joined Michael Jordan as the only players to average at least 20 points, eight assists, five rebounds and 1.7 steals in a season. Harden led the league in scoring (30.4), 3-pointers and 50-point games (4) while helping the Rockets to an NBA-leading 65 wins.

Rookie of the Year: Ben Simmons of Philadelphia won in a runaway with 90 first-place votes. Fellow point guard Donovan Mitchell of Utah was second with 11 first-place votes; Boston small forward Jayson Tatum was third. Simmons led the Sixers to a 52-30 record and averaged 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, joining Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson as the only rookies to post those numbers in a season.

Coach of the Year: Dwane Casey, now Detroit’s coach, won for his work with the Raptors, who fired him in May. They earned the top seed in the East for the first time but were swept by Cleveland in Round 2. Utah’s Quin Snyder was second in the voting and Boston’s Brad Stevens was third.

Sixth Man: Clippers guard Lou Williams, 31, won after becoming the first NBA player to average at least 20 points for the first time in his 13th season or later. He led the league in fourth-quarter points and scoring average. Houston guard Eric Gordon finished a distant second.

world cup 2018

Argentina avoids shame ARGENTINA 2, NIGERIA 1 Marcos Rojo scored on a wicked volley in the 86th minute Tuesday as Lionel Messi and Argentina escaped early elimination from the World Cup by defeating Nigeria 2-1 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Messi had scored his first goal of the tournament, but after a Nigerian equalizer early in the second half, time was melting away — on the game, on the fouryear campaign and on Messi’s efforts to win his first World Cup title in probably his final attempt. Just once in the previous 50 years had Argentina been knocked out in the group stage. And then Rojo smoked Gabriel Mercado’s cross into the lower right corner, triggering bedlam in a pro-Argentine venue. Combined with Iceland’s 2-1 loss to first-place Croatia, Argentina (four points) leaped over the Nigerians (three) and Icelanders

(one) to claim the second spot from Group D. Argentina advances to play Group C winner France on Saturday in Kazan. Messi, who turned 31 on Sunday, and his teammates lingered on the field after the final whistle, soaking in the serenade from their fans. Argentine supporters had arrived by the trainload, spilling into the picturesque northern city and forming skyblue ribbons of humanity along the canals and seawall holding back the Gulf of Finland from the $1.1 billion stadium. In the wreckage of a 3-0 loss to Croatia on Thursday, fury and disbelief spread back home as rumors circulated that the players had turned on coach Jorge Sampaoli. Faced with group-stage humiliation, Sampaoli shook up the lineup by making several changes, including his goalkeeper. Dreadful against Croatia, Willy Caballero was dropped in favor of Franco Armani, who, at 31, had never appeared in an international match. STEVEN GOFF

Mexico vs. Sweden 10 a.m., Fox

If Mexico triumphs today in Yekaterinburg, it would win its group with a perfect record, something it has never done in the World Cup. If Sweden wins and Germany beats South Korea, three teams would be tied atop Group F with six points, sending it to tiebreakers that start with goal differential.

South Korea vs. Germany 10 a.m., FS1

The Germans will advance to the knockout round if they beat South Korea by at least two goals in Kazan. Germany, which lost its opener to Mexico, hasn’t been eliminated in the first round since 1938.

Fielding a side filled with reserves, Croatia ended Iceland’s first World Cup run with a 2-1 victory Tuesday in Rostov. Ivan Perisic scored in the 90th minute to keep Croatia at the top of Group D with a 3-0-0 record. The Croats had qualified for the knockout round before the game, but Iceland (0-2-1) — which assumed the role of lovable underdog in Russia — needed a win for a chance to advance. Croatia next plays Sunday against Denmark, which finished second in Group C. (AP)

A game neither team needed to win became the game no fan would want to watch. France and Denmark produced this World Cup’s first 0-0 draw amid boos and whistles from a crowd of 78,000 at the World Cup’s signature Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Dawes add timeliness to ’70s rock

Kacey Musgraves

Maren Morris

Niall Horan Sam Smith

Harry Styles

Crossing country lines Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris and Cam find a home on the road with pop stars MUSIC It was tempting to keep an eye on Kacey Musgraves’ every footfall in concert Sunday night, waiting for her to step over the invisible line that separates country music and pop. Would a little buzzer go off, like at the bowling alley when your shoes slide too far? Of course, there is no such line. In music and on maps, borders are just imaginary demarcations used to control people by keeping their money, ideas and DNA separate. That said, it still feels significant that Musgraves, a “country singer,” is opening for Harry Styles, a “pop star” on an extensive tour of “the United States” ta this summer. And it looks like ike a trend, too. to Like Musgraves, Maren Morris is prep preparing to

launch a big tour alongside a One Direction graduate, Niall Horan, while Cam, the California balladeer behind 2015’s “Burning House,” will spend her summer nights opening for British soulguy Sam Smith. Get in where you fit in, right? Ever since the excommunication of the Dixie Chicks in 2003, country radio hasn’t been all that hospitable to women — let alone women interested in broadening the shape of the genre. So if you think Musgraves, Morris and Cam are out evangelizing for Nashville this summer, think again. Musgraves certainly didn’t make Sunday’s opening set at Washington’s Capital One Arena feel like an invitation back to the homestead. Instead, she

Musical diplomacy Kacey Musgraves’ connection to touring partner Harry Styles seems more ideological than musical, as both artists are big boosters of LGBT rights. “One thing I love about Harry’s audience is there’s clearly room for everyone here,” Musgraves said Sunday at Capital One Arena. “But I also believe that there’s room for everyone in country music.” C.R.

told the crowd she felt as if she had discovered “a second home.” Morris and Cam have drafted more formal applications for dual citizenship. Morris has been enjoying a 20-week ride on the Billboard Hot 100 with “The Middle,” a high-def collaboration

with the EDM producer Zedd. Before that, she and Horan recorded a soft-rock duet together called “Seeing Blind.” As for Cam, she helped pen “Palace,” an understated ballad for Smith’s most recent album. Having introduced herself earlier in Sunday’s show as “this kinda-country chick,” Musgraves closed out her set with “High Horse,” this kinda-country song that gallops along g at the speed of disco. Purists have dismissed sed the tune outright — it’s just ust too pop. But based on the cheering, heering, the dancing and the incessant cessant iPhone flashlight-waving, ving, it didn’t seem like anyone e in the arena felt it was too country. ountry.

California-based rock band Dawes turn today’s angst into “Passwords,” a soothing, sugar-coated collection of ’70s folk and soft rock. The album, released Friday, opens with the power chords of “Living in the Future.” Coupled with the song’s intense guitar solo, the music makes a good match for the lyrics, which read like a directory of modern challenges. “I Can’t Love” buries the lead (“you anymore … than I do right now”) and “Mistakes We Should Have Made” is a burst of regret. Dawes ultimately achieve a uniform veneer — translucent coats of sound spread over situations and stories tories well worth listening to. PABLO GORONDI (AP)

NETFLIX

“I asked for the test. It’s one less thing to worry about.” “Set It Up” follows a will-they-won’t-they-but-of-course-they-will storyline.

‘Set It Up’ honors DCTakesOnHIV.com #AskForTheTest rom-com tropes The buzzy Netflix film thrives by not straying far from convention STREAMING At first glance, “Set It Up” — Netflix’s original movie about two overworked assistants who scheme to pair up their demanding bosses — seems like yet another cheesy romantic comedy. And in some ways, it is. It’s also one of the best movies on Netflix (or anywhere else) right now. “Set It Up” follows Harper (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie (Glen Powell) as they try to get their high-powered bosses (Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, respectively) to date each other. You can probably guess what happens next, and that’s totally OK because the movie is just delightful. Netflix does not share ratings information but, anecdotally, people are watching “Set It Up” and really enjoying it. That’s particularly impressive considering the sheer number of original movies in Netflix’s catalogue. The movie also boasts a 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The plot follows the rom-com formula to a T, and that’s a large part of why it works. Charlie and Harper are trying to set up their bosses, which inevitably means there will be a confrontation about their scheming in the end. It also means they will be spending a lot of time together — against the romantic backdrop of New York City, no less. Deutch brings an adorable energy to Harper. And in a slight but welcome deviation from rom-com tradition, Powell’s Charlie is actually a pretty nice guy. Their chemistry is especially evident in a standout scene that involves a ladder, a pizza pie and some lingering will-they, won’t-they stares. Also, dimples, all around. From the moment Harper and Charlie meet while trying to procure dinner for their impossibly picky charges at the end of a very long day, you want to root for them, both romantically and professionally. That’s “Set It Up” in a nutshell. It’s wildly predictable and a little cheesy. And yet, it’s an absolute gem of a movie that you really should watch.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take a good look around and you’ll realize that there’s very little holding you back now; what’s there is of your making. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll enjoy spending time with those who are younger than you are; they can teach you the meaning of “letting go.”

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may be struggling with certain policies that are holding you back. There’s no reason why they cannot be altered significantly.

TODAY: Partly to mostly cloudy skies with increasing humidity and scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly in the afternoon and evening. Highs in the low to mid-80s. Rainfall totals should be widely varying from nothing or a trace in many areas to a half-inch or more with a thunderstorm downpour.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll want to set certain limits for yourself today in order to ensure that you do not send the wrong message. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may want nothing more than to remain indoors today — but even if that’s true, the fact is that you will benefit from time spent in the sun.

REINVENTION

This New York Times profile has everything

Dad upsets duchess, two heads of state Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, told TMZ that Queen Elizabeth has “no excuse” not to meet with him. “If the Queen is willing to meet our arrogant, ignorant, and insensitive president, she has no excuse not to meet me. I’m nowhere near as bad,” Markle said, in reference the recent news that President Trump will meet the queen on his visit to England next month.

The New York Times interviewed Lindsay Lohan for a profile about her life in Dubai and her newly opened Lohan Beach House private club in Mykonos, Greece. “I choose what I want to see and how I want to live,” Lohan said. Described as wearing a red baseball cap with the word “RUSSIA” A” on it, Lohan said that her past is “dead,” adding, “I’m ’m a normal, nice person. A good person.” On President ent Trump, Lohan said that she has “no feeling” and “no no emotion,” but thinks his daughter Tiffany, an old friend of hers, is “a really sweet girl.” Lohan also said she has plans for a “Vanderpump Rules”-style reality show with MTV about her beach club.

Judge denies Meek Mill’s petition for new trial

Hopefully he washed hands for next person

A Philadelphia judge on Monday denied rapper Meek Mill’s petition for a new trial in his decade-old drug and gun convictions, despite support for the request by the district attorney’s office. Mill’s attorneys had asked for a new trial based on credibility issues with the only police officer who testified at Mill’s original trial. Judge Genece Brinkley denied the request. (AP)

Ron Perlman said he once peed on his own hand before he shook Harvey Weinstein’s hand at an event. The “Hellboy” actor tweeted Monday: “Did I ever tell ya about when Harvey Weinstein told me to make sure I shook his hand at a charity event, so I stopped in the mens room and pissed all over my hand, then went straight up to him on the receiving line?” Perlman has been open about his disdain for Weinstein.
