In the steps of his father THE DISTRICT In the fire station in Shaw known as “The Big House,” the name Kevin McRae is inescapable.

It’s on placards over doorways.

It’s enshrined behind glass in the watch room. It’s etched on the passenger-side door of Engine 6.

Lt. Kevin McRae, 44, died in March 2015 after suffering a heart attack while fighting a fire at an apartment building. This week his son, Davon McRae, started as a firefighter in the same firehouse his dad had been assigned to, at New Jersey Avenue and N Street NW. His father was the 100th D.C. firefighter to die in the line of duty. The younger McRae’s cousin, James McRae III, was the 99th to die, in 2007. Davon McRae graduated from the cadet program Friday, the 10th anniversary of his cousin’s death.

Firefighting in big cities across the country is a family affair, and it’s not unusual in the District and elsewhere to find multiple generations on the force. But in the District, at least, McRae’s

circumstances stand out.

He is riding in the very engine that carried his father’s casket from funeral to cemetery.

“Looking at it from the outside, you could say this is extremely hard to pass by all these memorials and these pictures” of his dad, said Lt. Mark Trace, a 13-year veteran who runs the Engine 6 crew. “But from a fireman’s standpoint, it’s the best thing in the world to work where your father worked. That’s a privilege that a lot of people don’t get.”

“There’s no need for him to think he needs to be someone else.

He’s Davon. That’s who he needs to be, and that’s what we need.”

LT. MARK TRACE, saying the young McRae should not try to live up to his father, who died on duty in 2015

Just a few hours into McRae’s first 24-hour shift, Trace lined up the veterans and the newbies. As they faced Engine 6, the younger McRae staring at his father’s name on the door, the lieutenant addressed the taller, lankier and quieter version of the elder.

“You’re not going to be treated any different,” Trace told the 20-year-old McRae. “You’re going to be treated the same as every probationary that walks through the door. … You’re probably going to have it worse than everyone else, you know that?”

“Yes, sir,” McRae answered.

And so a son embarked on the career of his father. Davon said he’s up to facing the constant reminders of his father’s death while trying to forge a distinct identity.

McRae said “seeing my father go down doing something he loved” decided his career path.

His relatives urged him to think hard about it. “Do what you want to do. Don’t feel you’ve got shoes to fill,” he said they told him.

He assured them, “I’m going to be me.”

Engine 6 “feels like home,” McRae said. “I didn’t want to go anywhere else.” PETER HERMANN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Time and energy wasted’

THE DISTRICT

1-year-old wounded in gunfire in alley in NE

THE DISTRICT The new FBI headquarters was supposed to produce two big winners in the Washington region: either Prince George’s or Fairfax counties, where the new complex would go, and D.C., which would get a new trophy building to replace the old FBI facility in a premier location on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Instead, the Trump administration’s decision to cancel the project has yielded nothing but losers. The demise of what was billed as the biggest commercial real estate deal of a generation has dashed hopes for lucrative new development in both the suburbs and city. It also has irritated local officials and private developers, who devoted years of effort and millions of dollars trying to win the prize.

“A lot of time and energy wasted,” said Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova.

On Capitol Hill, Maryland Democratic lawmakers said the cancellation “puts America’s national security at risk” because the FBI’s current headquarters “is crumbling.” They also pushed back against the Trump administration’s claim that Congress failed to appropriate enough money for the project.

“The reasons [given] for the cancellation just aren’t true,” Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, D-Md.,

For now, the FBI building, widely considered the ugliest major structure in D.C., will remain the bureau’s headquarters.

said at a news conference.

But Cardin added that he had no reason to think Trump acted to punish the FBI in light of the agency’s probe of his associates’ contacts with Russia.

The politician most disappointed by the cancellation is probably Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker III. He dreamed that snaring the FBI project would be the capstone of his two terms in office and energize his campaign to win the governorship in 2018. It would have offered further evidence that Prince George’s is a top-tier place to do business.

“It was a critical step to almost reinventing Prince George’s County,” said an official in Maryland who spoke on the condition

of anonymity early Tuesday, before the official announcement of the deal’s cancellation.

Prince George’s was seen as the favorite to win the FBI deal because two of the three locations that were finalists were located there. They were Greenbelt and Landover, with Springfield, in Fairfax County, as the third.

Prince George’s officials said the county has spent $500,000 to $1 million for staff work over 4½ years of trying to land the project. In addition, private developers and state transportation planners have spent millions.

D.C. had looked forward to the prospect of building a new, highend development in the heart of downtown to replace the current FBI building — considered one

of the ugliest in the city.

But the decision could have a silver lining for the city. If the federal government wants to save money on the project, it might consider a smaller campus than those being offered in Prince George’s or Fairfax, said a D.C. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because Mayor Muriel E. Bowser had yet to issue a statement.

The District would be able to offer such a location, possibly at Poplar Point, a stretch of undeveloped federal land near the Anacostia neighborhood.

“It’s kind of an interesting spot that we’re in. It might put us back in the running,” the official said. ROBERT McCARTNEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

D.C. saw rise in arrests for public pot use in ’16 THE DISTRICT Arrests for the public use of marijuana in D.C. nearly tripled in 2016 and are on track to remain high in 2017, public records show.

More than 400 people were arrested in 2016 for public consumption of marijuana, according to D.C. police records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. Records for 2017 show 78 had been arrested as of April 5.

The 2016 total of 400-plus compares with 142 people arrested in 2015, the year that marijuana use — but not the sale of marijuana — became legal in the city.

Arrests for distribution of marijuana also nearly tripled

last year — from 80 in 2015 to 220 in 2016, according to the data. This year, 79 people had been arrested for distribution as of April 5.

The data include arrests by D.C. police and other agencies.

In an email, D.C. police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said the department had “focused its drug enforcement efforts on illegal sales,” leading to an increase in arrests for distribution.

Legalization has led to more arrests for public consumption, Sternbeck said, even though smoking pot outside is still against the law.

Some advocates criticized the increase in arrests, saying they

disproportionately affected poor people and minorities.

Adam Eidinger, the head of DCMJ, an advocacy group that lobbied for marijuana legalization in the District, was arrested twice in April after handing out free joints near the Capitol. He said the right to smoke marijuana in the District could only be enjoyed by “those who own private property,” whereas renters and those in public housing were left out.

“A lot of it is people not realizing they can’t smoke in public,” he said of the increase in arrests.

“A lot of it is people who have no place else to go.” JUSTIN WM. MOYER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Not in their plan: GOP group fights cuts to retirement highest three years.

Abolish cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) for current and future employees with the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS).

Reduce the COLA for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) employees by 0.5 percent from what the formula otherwise allowed.

End supplemental retirement income for FERS employees who retire beginning in 2018.

Increase individual out-ofpocket FERS payments by 1 percentage point each year until they equal the government’s contribution. This would take up to six years and would amount to increased payments of about 6 percent.

Payments from federal law enforcement officers would increase by the same amount, but would not equal the greater contributions from law enforcement agencies.

The last point would be “tantamount” to a “permanent 6% pay cut,” the letter said.

“I think we have a moral obligation to those currently in the system,” Bishop said.

“That’s the basis on which they were hired; that’s how they are planning for their future.”

More options for investments are in the works Q. When is the TSP going to give us more investment choices?

J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE (AP)

You can’t always tell a book by its cover or a politician’s position by their party.

Rep. Rob Bishop is a Utah Republican known as a solid right-winger. Like many Republicans, he generally doesn’t get good grades on federal workforce issues.

But while he has voted against positions favored by employee groups on many issues, he recently led a letter from nine Republicans opposing federal retirement cuts proposed by President Trump.

Citing the various ways Trump’s budget plan would hit feds, despite his call for a 1.9 percent pay raise, the letter says, “Our strongest objection is how the proposals break a promise to employees and retirees who have based career planning on long-standing promised benefit calculations.

They and their families don’t deserve to be treated in this cavalier manner.”

The group of Republicans opposes Trump’s plan to: Lower retirement benefits by basing them on the average of the highest five years of salary instead of the current

Q+A

Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, led a letter from nine Republicans to House leaders opposing federal retirement cuts proposed by President Trump.

The letter points out that these cuts have been pushed before without success: “Recycling discredited proposals targeting federal workers is disruptive to them, and demoralizing to all middle-class civilian worker families.”

The House leaders have not responded to the letter, and the Trump administration had no comment.

Bishop is not necessarily opposed to imposing less-generous retirement benefits on new staffers. “I can live with that,” he said. “I cannot go back

retroactively and change those benefits. … Philosophically, I just think it is wrong.”

The nine signatures on the GOP letter lag far behind the 100 on a similar letter from House Democrats.

Once “the moral values and the ethical values” against cuts for current workers are explained to his colleagues, Bishop said, “I think you’ll find there will be much more empathy” toward his position.

A. The Thrift Savings Plan, the 401(k)-style program for federal employees, offers five funds that reflect stock and bond markets. One of those, tracking international stocks, will be broadened in 2019 to include emerging markets and Canada.

The TSP also offers “lifecycle” funds that mix investments in the basic funds in ratios that vary with the expected withdrawal dates — 2020, 2030, 2040 or 2050. Those mixes become more conservative over time.

In 2020, the fund with that date will merge with a current income fund, and the TSP will offer funds with five-year increments through 2065.

Separately, the TSP is working to allow account holders to invest in funds other than the ones it offers, including actively managed mutual funds, through an investment “window.” There is no projected date for that window to open.

Meanwhile, bills are pending in Congress to allow more choices for withdrawing money after leaving the government — and, for those at least age 59 ½, while still employed.

All the planned changes are aimed at bringing the TSP more up to date with what’s available in other retirement programs.

‘Grateful’ for graveyard shifts Study finds immigrants are more likely to work night, weekend hours WASHINGTONPOST.COM POWERPOST

McConnell will make Senate work in August MARVIN JOSEPH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

IMMIGRATION Like many immigrants, money drew Kazi Mannan to the United States. Making enough to support his father and nine siblings in Pakistan meant not only doing the jobs many Americans shun, but also working the hours many Americans won’t.

So the day after he arrived in Washington in 1996, Mannan began working the graveyard shift — from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m.

— as a gas station cashier, seven nights a week for $2.50 an hour.

“They said I was going to work like a donkey. I was grateful,” Mannan said. “I wanted the work.”

Mannan’s experience is repeated today among the 5.5 million foreign-born workers in the United States who work evenings, overnights and weekends, accounting for a quarter of the immigrants in the labor force.

Immigrants are 15.7 percent more likely to work these “off” hours than American-born workers, according to a new study.

They are 25.2 percent more likely to cover weekend shifts — compared with native-born workers with similar demographic characteristics such as education level, location and whether they are married or have children.

Immigrants are considerably more likely to work unusual hours across a variety of occupations at both the low- and high-skilled ends of the labor

spectrum, the report found.

Whether it’s stocking shelves at a big-box store or treating patients in the emergency room, immigrants are disproportionately working nights and weekends.

Take a manufacturer that operates a factory 24 hours a day, seven days a week, said Jeremy Robbins, executive director of New American Economy, which is releasing the report this week.

“You need workers working overnight,” Robbins said. “If you can’t get people to work overnight, those day jobs aren’t going to exist, either.”

The report comes at a politically charged time in the debate over immigration. President Trump has espoused a “Hire American” rhetoric and

promised to limit immigration to those who will most boost the U.S. economy. Congress is also reviewing the merits of various visas, including those that favor wealthy foreign investors and those that allow importing highskilled foreigners and low-wage, seasonal workers.

Many industries rely upon immigrants working unusual hours, the report said. About half the workers in meatpacking plants, commercial bakeries and dairy manufacturers work evenings and on weekends. Among higherskilled workers, immigrants play a large role in filling odd-hour jobs in health care and education.

Plenty of American-born workers also work unusual hours. But they tend to gravitate toward

sectors that require English fluency and high levels of customer interaction, such as restaurant wait staff, retail sales or bartending, the report said.

Eventually, after working three jobs, Mannan started his own car service, and in 2013 also opened a Pakistani-Indian restaurant in downtown Washington, Sakina Halal Grill.

Mannan, 47 and a father of three, continues working long hours, filling in as chef or waiter when his employees quit, fall ill or take vacations.

“I am now part of this American society as an immigrant contributing to this country,” he said. “Keep immigration if you want to keep America great.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced Tuesday that he would cut the chamber’s August recess in half, saying Republicans needed more time to achieve their legislative goals given the protracted negotiations over health care legislation and continued opposition from Democrats on several fronts, such as processing a backlog of nominees.

He said the Senate will also devote time to passing a defense authorization bill “and other important issues” while remaining at work through the week of Aug. 6.

Work on the Senate’s health care bill remained uncertain Tuesday, although McConnell told reporters he will release a revised bill by Thursday morning.

He said he hopes to receive a Congressional Budget Office analysis of that measure by the beginning of next week, so the chamber can vote quickly.

But an ideological divide remains within the GOP. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and other conservatives are trying to steer the health care bill to the right even as Republican leaders are eyeing changes — such as preserving for several years the tax on the investment income of wealthy Americans — aimed at enlisting the support of centrists.

nation+world Liberation from ISIS is a victory for Iraq, but it left the city shattered MOSUL, IRAQ As Iraq’s prime minister prepared to declare victory against the Islamic State in Mosul on Monday, millions of leaflets fluttered through the skies with a promise from the government to its people that the city would never be alone again.

Across the country, the celebrations have already started.

Defeat in Mosul is a heavy blow for ISIS, robbing the group of one of its most important strongholds and dashing its dream of running a proto-state. But viewed from the ground, Iraq’s victory is a messy business.

No one knows how many people have died during the ninemonth battle. Half the city’s population has been displaced, and across Mosul’s western districts, the most populous neighborhoods are now shattered beyond repair.

Shaimaa, 17, said she had escaped the fighting alone.

Her three brothers were hauled off to an ISIS prison last year and remain missing. Her sister died in a bombing. And her parents?

“There was an airstrike,” she said, and that was the last time she saw her mother. “I saw my father’s body in the rubble and I walked away. We got our city back, but there is nothing for me in it.”

Every family around her said

The fight to retake the city now resembles two separate battles.

First, Iraqi security forces took the eastern half of the city. Then they moved on the more densely populated west, relying more heavily on U.S.-led coalition airstrikes and taking heavy casualties as they went.

The eastern districts have sprung back to life. Fruit sellers line the roads and shops run a roaring trade, packed at lunchtime, and bustling with life as the sun sets.

It was the deadliest Marine crash — in the U.S. or abroad — since 2005. Officials said 15 Marines and a Navy corpsman were on the KC-130 tanker when it corkscrewed into the ground 85 miles north of Jackson, Miss. The Marines and FBI were investigating the cause but said foul play was not suspected.

Emails expose Trump Jr. The president’s son was told campaign meeting would be with ‘Russian government attorney’

Did Trump Jr. cross a legal line on collusion?

RICHARD DREW (AP)

POLITICS Donald Trump Jr. agreed to take a meeting during the 2016 presidential campaign with a woman he was told was a “Russian government attorney” who could provide damaging information about Hillary Clinton as part of “Russia and its government’s support” for his father’s presidential campaign, according to emails tweeted by the president’s son Tuesday.

President Trump’s eldest son posted on Twitter what he said was the entire exchange that led to a June 2016 encounter that has inflamed the controversy over potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.

The email exchange showed that Trump Jr. understood he was taking the meeting as a way of channeling information directly from the government of a nation hostile to the U.S. to his father’s campaign. It is the most concrete public evidence to date suggesting that top Trump campaign aides were eager for Russia’s assistance in the campaign.

“If it’s what you say I love it,” Trump Jr. responded to an intermediary pitching the meeting.

A White House spokeswoman read a brief statement from President Trump about the issue Tuesday in which he said: “My son is a high-quality person and I applaud his transparency.”

Speaking to reporters in the White House briefing room, principal deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she would refer any questions to lawyers for the president and Trump Jr. Later in the briefing, which was held off camera, Sanders

WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE FIX

Donald Trump Jr. tells Sean Hannity on Fox News on Tuesday that he could have handled things differently.

said the president was frustrated that Russia “continues to be an issue” and is eager to focus on other things, including tax reform and infrastructure.

U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin directed a campaign to assist Trump, including the release of hacked emails stolen from Democratic officials.

Congress and a special counsel are investigating Russian interference with the presidential election and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign — a charge the president has repeatedly denied.

Democrats were quick to pounce on the latest revelation related to the probe.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said everyone involved in the meeting should be “immediately summoned” to testify under oath before the House and Senate committees investigating Russian meddling.

“There’s no escaping it: the Trump Campaign’s inner circle

Russian lawyer reacts Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya told The Washington Post on Tuesday that she was not working on behalf of the Russian government but was interested in talking to Donald Trump Jr. about Russian adoptions. “I did not have an assignment from the Kremlin; there were no orders from the government,” Veselnitskaya said, adding that “someone in America really wants to overthrow their president. … We sat and talked to each other for a few minutes and it was clear we were talking about two different things.” (TWP)

met with an agent of a hostile foreign power to influence the outcome of the American election,” Pelosi said in a statement.

The emails to Trump Jr. came from a music publicist

who represented Emin Agalarov, whose father, Aras, is a major real estate developer close to Putin.

“Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting,” publicist Rob Goldstone emailed Trump Jr. in June 2016. “The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.

“This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government support for Mr. Trump — helped along by Aras and Emin,” Goldstone wrote.

Trump Jr.’s response made his enthusiasm clear: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer,” he wrote.

ROSALIND S. HELDERMAN AND JOHN WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

In Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, Trump Jr. says he did not tell his father about meeting with Russian lawyer

There’s no line in the criminal code that says you go to jail for colluding with a foreign adversary. But you can go to jail for conspiring with a foreign adversary to influence or undermine an election, and Jeffrey Jacobovitz, a lawyer who represented officials in the Clinton White House, thinks what Donald Trump Jr. did could rise to that level.

“Absolutely,” Jacobovitz said when asked if the emails Trump Jr. shared Tuesday on Twitter firm up evidence that he had intent to commit a crime by conspiring with the Russians. “You may have crossed the line on conspiracy to commit election fraud or conspiracy to obtain information from a foreign adversary.”

What special counsel Robert Mueller, above, and his team are probably seeking is evidence that the Trump campaign intended to illegally conspire with Russia to help its campaign or hurt Hillary Clinton’s.

Jacobovitz said conspiracy to commit election fraud is the big legal fish Mueller and his team may be trying to fry. But they’re probably also looking at a host of laws that could have been broken under this scenario: quid pro quo with the Russians, bribery, potential perjury related to what members of the Trump campaign said under oath to Congress and failing to disclose these contacts in official security forms.

THREE POINTERS

Bruce Allen

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Stubborn like Dad: Allen’s attitude on QB deal is an issue History is repeating itself at Redskins Park, and it could lead the team to make another mistake at quarterback.

For the past two years, team president Bruce Allen has been reluctant to commit to Kirk Cousins with a long-term contract. If a deal isn’t signed by 4 p.m. Monday, Cousins will play on the franchise tag for a second straight season and earn $23.9 million.

Allen’s failure to secure the Redskins’ future at the most important position — the team has reportedly lowballed Cousins’ camp twice — reeks of stubbornness. That trait could have come straight from Allen’s father. It made George Allen a Hall of Fame coach, but it’s making Bruce a poor

executive.

George Allen led Washington to the Super Bowl, where the Redskins lost to the undefeated 1972 Dolphins. In his time as coach, he stubbornly preferred quarterback Billy Kilmer over Sonny Jurgensen and Joe Theismann. Jurgensen was nearing the end of his own Hall of Fame career at the start of Allen’s tenure, and Theismann would go on to win the big game with coach Joe Gibbs.

But Allen always preferred Kilmer, who started 72 games over the coach’s seven seasons in Washington.

With the younger Allen in charge of the front office, there’s no reason for the Redskins to avoid taking a deep breath and committing at least $125 million for five seasons of Cousins. But the team has given no indication that

George Allen

will happen. Allen somehow thinks he has leverage, but actually Cousins has the team by the throat.

Maybe Cousins isn’t another Jurgensen or Theismann, but he’s Washington’s best quarterback since Mark Rypien led the 1991 team to the Super Bowl title. Washington hit rock bottom with John Beck and Rex Grossman in the Mike Shanahan era. Yet the team is hesitating to sign a passer who shattered team records for passing yardage in each of the past two years.

Allen’s job is to be cost-effective with contracts, but his frugality has cornered him after Cousins bet on himself and won big with two standout seasons. Allen says he can always franchise Cousins again in 2018, but that’s preposterous because the $34 million price tag would cripple the team.

Maybe Cousins doesn’t deserve a mega-contract. Then again, who thinks the Wizards’ Otto Porter Jr. should have received a four-year, $106.5 million deal? That’s insane, but free-agent markets are fickle.

The Redskins’ front office may feel Cousins is not the next Drew Brees or Tom

Brady. They worry he’s not a late-season gamer after he lost the 2015 playoff opener to Green Bay and looked awful in the 2016 season-ending loss to the Giants. So, why should they pay him like a superstar when he’s not?

It’s simple: There is no reasonable Plan B. Picking anyone other than Cousins means the team is back to rebuilding after meager success over the past two years. Backup Colt McCoy is another Grossman.

Third-stringer Nate Sudfeld has zero experience. The team would be better off spending a first-rounder on a quarterback next spring than playing McCoy or Sudfeld in 2018, when Cousins will be a free agent if a deal isn’t done soon.

Allen should accept that it’s OK to pay up for Cousins because the benefit would be multiple years of stability for a franchise that’s had none for over two decades.

There’s no need for Bruce Allen to continue a family legacy of refusing to ride with the right quarterback.

And yet, he probably will.

THE WASHINGTON POST AND AP

Long-term happiness The general consensus is that the Redskins won’t agree to a deal with Kirk Cousins by Monday’s deadline, but never say never. These players were tagged this year but got deals done. GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

3 OLB/DE Melvin Ingram Four years, $66 million

He posted 18.5 sacks in the past two seasons and agreed to a deal with the Chargers on June 11 that pays him $42 million guaranteed.

2 DT Kawann Short Five years, $80.5 million

In four years with the Panthers, he has 41 starts, 22 sacks and one Pro Bowl nod.

He agreed to a deal in April with a $35 million bonus.

1 OLB Chandler Jones Five years, $82.5 million

The Patriots traded him to the Cardinals last year, when he had 11 sacks. That led to a new deal in March with more than $50 million guaranteed.

Public schools to introduce physical education for girls

Venus defeats Ostapenko to reach her 10th semifinal

International Olympic Committee members voted unanimously Tuesday to seek a consensus threeway deal with Paris and Los Angeles to award both cities hosting rights to the 2024 and 2028 Summer Games. Talks will open with Paris widely seen as the favorite for 2024.

The host cities for both years will be awarded in September. If a deal falls through, only the 2024 hosting rights will be voted on when the IOC next meets Sept. 13 in Lima, Peru.

A deal to make both cities winners would fulfill a strategy IOC President Thomas Bach set in motion last December to ensure stability for the Olympics. (AP)

Saudi Arabia’s Education Ministry will introduce physical education classes for girls in public schools next year, a decision that comes after years of calls by women across the kingdom demanding greater rights and access to sports.

It was only four years ago that the kingdom formally approved sports for girls in private schools. In recent years, Saudi Arabia has also approved licenses for female-only gyms. Male students have long had access to sports in public schools.

The ministry said Tuesday that the courses will be introduced next academic year “in accordance with [Islamic] Shariah regulations.” (AP)

Five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams advanced to the semifinals in London for the second year in a row and 10th time overall Tuesday by beating Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 7-5. Williams, 37, made her Wimbledon debut in 1997 in the same month that Ostapenko was born. Williams will face Johanna Konta of England, a first-time semifinalist who beat Simona Halep 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 6-4. Unseeded Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia beat 24th-seeded American Coco Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-3 to earn a place in the other semi against Garbine Muguruza of Spain, a 6-3, 6-4 winner over Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Hayes marks a return, but not to form After a rough patch, the country singer plots a creative comeback MUSIC For Hunter Hayes, the first part of this decade was a blur — that’s when he first broke through to become a country music star at age 20, with hits like “Wanted” and “Somebody’s Heartbreak,” and a debut self-titled album that went double platinum.

Hayes has some vivid memories of that era, such as when he was nominated for three awards at the 2013 Grammys (including best new artist), or when he sat with Stevie Wonder a few months later at the Academy of Country Music Awards, where the two performed Hayes’ hit “I Want Crazy.”

“It was astonishing,” Hayes says. “There was a lot that happened in a short amount of time.”

But as often happens in the music business, a hugely successful first act can be tough to follow. His 2014 sophomore album,

“Storyline,” didn’t have the same momentum, and a few singles released to radio languished on the charts. For the last couple years, Hayes still toured, though he remained focused on songwriting and producing. Now, he has a plan as he returns to the spotlight.

Last month, Hayes released “Rescue,” a dark yet uplifting tune about relying on the strength of other people as he was going through hard times.

He’s careful not to call this a single, which would imply an album is on the horizon — it’s simply a new song, which he’s recording for an undefined “project.”

It’s a deliberate choice to operate outside the methodical country music system, which is often strictly regimented. Hayes is excited to take a new approach, and release new music however and whenever he wants; “Rescue” isn’t being released to country radio, so it won’t appear on the airplay chart. His label, Warner Music Nashville/Atlantic Records, is very supportive. “When I

Embracing what’s new Hunter Hayes has struggled to adapt to changes in his voice, the result of singing during live shows, acid reflux and allergies. It was stressful to not know how he was going to sound on stage, so he worked with his vocal coach. “It’s not the voice I sang my first record with, it’s just not,” Hayes says. “So learning that, embracing that, being OK with that — now, I feel like I’ve found my voice.” E.Y.

come in with a crazy idea, they’re 10 steps ahead of me,” he says.

Through his career, Hayes has maintained a devoted young fan base that doesn’t seem to

care how Hayes gives them new music. Even if his new strategy breaks some of the rules, Hayes sees the tide starting to turn. As album sales plummet, more artists are wondering if just releasing singles is the best way to go.

When Hayes first pitched the idea years ago, it was frowned upon.

“Now, it’s an option … the whole world is just so wide open with options and ideas and ways to [release music], I kind of felt it was going in that direction,” Hayes says. “I knew that was going to be more healthy for me from a writing and recording standpoint. And I had a feeling that the fans would embrace it.”

“Praying” is the first single from “Rainbow,” Kesha’s first new album since 2012.

(The singer has been in a legal battle with producer Dr. Luke over alleged abuse since 2014.) The video is a visually stunning work that embodies, if somberly, the colorful, glitter-submerged, kaleidoscopic world of Kesha that we remember. It also has biblical overtones, depicting a woman finding faith and seeking freedom.

These heroes did their jobs ‘Wonder Woman’ and ‘Spider-Man’ help save sagging film franchises

PERSPECTIVE With last weekend’s strong opening of “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” the game is back on: Marvel Studios has competition.

Last summer, things weren’t looking bright for the superhero franchises at other studios: Warner Bros./DC’s “Batman v

Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad” had stumbled creatively and commercially, as had Fox’s “X-Men: Apocalypse.”

The lone standout outside of Marvel Studios was Fox’s “Deadpool.”

Yet, Marvel had another banner year with “Captain America: Civil War” and “Doctor Strange.”

Still, 2016 gave hopes for 2017, with newcomers Gal Gadot and Tom Holland. As Wonder Woman and “on loan from Sony” SpiderMan, respectively, they nearly

“Spider-Man: Homecoming”

“Wonder Woman”

stole the show in “Batman v Superman” and “Civil War.” Now, in 2017, they’ve put their own franchises on higher ground.

As a commercial and cultural smash, “Wonder Woman” has grossed nearly three-quarters of a

billion dollars worldwide and, domestically, is the highest-grossing film in the DC Extended Universe with $368.8 million. Last weekend, “Homecoming” had the thirdbiggest domestic opening of the year ($117 million) and now sits at

SONY PICTURES AND WARNER BROS.

entertainment $257 million worldwide. Gadot’s and Holland’s films also raise expectations for DC’s “Justice League” in November and Sony’s “Homecoming” sequel in 2019.

Marvel Studios could keep winning this arms race. “Thor: Ragnarok” lands in November, and three films — “Black Panther,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp” — are due in 2018. Plus, Marvel will continue its partnership with Sony to bring Spider-Man to the screen.

The competition is healthier when there are multiple power players, pushing each other to be better. So far, 2017 has been a welcome boon to studios trying to stay on the track with Marvel.

The Rock’s fans can’t just wait until midterms

‘Welcome,’ say normal people In a new interview with Variety, Charlize Theron said she struggled with gaining weight for her role in the upcoming movie “Tully.” “It was brutal in every sense,” said Theron, who also put on weight for her 2003 movie “Monster.” “This time around, I really felt it in my health. The sugar put me in a massive depression. …

I couldn’t lose the weight.

I called my doctor and I said, ‘I think I’m dying!’

And he’s like, ‘No, you’re 41. Calm down.’ ” (EXPRESS)

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson got closer to a longteased presidential bid this week when a draft was filed Sunday with the Federal Election Commission to support a potential campaign from the actor and former wrestler. The Hill identified West Virginia resident Kenton Tilford as the man who filed the paperwork for “Run the Rock 2020.” Tilford’s connection to Johnson is unclear. Johnson mused in a GQ story in May about a potential presidential run, calling it “a real possibility.” He also joked about possibly running in his opening monologue when he hosted “Saturday Night Live” in May. Johnson told GQ that he is registered as an independent. (EXPRESS)
