What is the rightful home of a 115-year-old desert tortoise? For a tortoise named Diablo, it’s a senior living center in Albuquerque, N.M. Diablo had disappeared from his garden last week but was safely returned. He had ventured to a neighbor’s backyard after a family bought the tortoise from kids at a local park. Millie Tjeltweed, who owns Diablo, wasn’t sure how he got to the park, but said he has been her pet for 35 years. (AP)

A British driver survived a major crash in his $260,000 Ferrari an hour after he bought it last week. Police called it a “miracle escape,” but the car wasn’t so lucky. Police in northern England posted photos of the smoking, wrecked 430 Scuderia, saying it “went airborne [and] burst into flames” beside a highway. The driver suffered only cuts and bruises and likely a severe case of buyer’s remorse. No word on his insurance coverage. (AP)

D.C. street art legend Cool ‘Disco’ Dan dies

Animal shelter seeks help after flood damage

Danny Hogg poses in front of one of his tags in the District. The local street art icon was known for his straightforward graffiti style.

mother, Denise Womack. He got his nickname from going to gogo shows, and spent his teenage years spray-painting that name on buildings across the city.

“I would give my kids allowance for doing errands in the house, and he would use the money to buy spray cans and markers,” Womack said.

His graffiti style was “very plain, simple, in your face, the bare bones of graffiti,” said Asad Walker, a graffiti artist and friend of Hogg’s. “I think the overall D.C. style, still to this

day, can be kind of simple and straightforward. That aesthetic was promoted by him.”

Most of Hogg’s tags have been erased now. But his friends said that in recent years, he had come to embrace his legacy as D.C.’s most famous street artist.

“He knows, without being egotistical, that Cool ‘Disco’ Dan is an icon of D.C.,” Gastman said, still speaking in the present tense about his friend.

Rainfall totals of 3 to 4 inches were the most common around the region. The heaviest totals of 5 to 7 inches were concentrated in northeast Montgomery County through southern Howard County. (TWP)

Storms dump a month’s rain on the District ADAM AMENGUEL

THE DISTRICT Danny Hogg, the prolific D.C. street artist who plastered the city with his tag, Cool “Disco” Dan, died of complications from diabetes Wednesday. He was 47.

Hogg’s tag became an enduring symbol for a city that had endured a lot. He was at his most prolific in the late ’80s and early ’90s, an era when D.C. was known as the country’s “murder capital” and then-Mayor Marion Barry was arrested for using crack cocaine.

“When you think of D.C.’s turbulent times, what happened and where the city came from, he is an icon of that era,” said Roger Gastman, a documentary filmmaker who produced a movie, “The Legend of Cool ‘Disco’ Dan,” about Hogg and the D.C. street art scene. “There’s not many left. He’s a folk hero.”

Hogg grew up in Capitol Heights, Md., and spent most of his childhood drawing, said his

After 3 years, riders skipping Silver Line

THE DISTRICT

Officer gets desk duty for allegedly racist shirt

Supporters contend building booms mean its best days are ahead KATHERINE FREY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION Three years after its splashy opening, the first phase of Metro’s Silver Line has met with mixed success, fueling an unprecedented building boom in areas adjacent to its five new stations but struggling to attract riders.

Since 2014, 11 new high-rises have been built in Tysons Corner, and more than 2 million more square feet of development are in the pipeline. Big-name companies, including Intelsat, have relocated to Tysons, attracted by the promise of a walkable urban neighborhood with easy access to public transportation.

But of the five stations that opened in July 2014, only the end-of-line Wiehle-Reston station has come close to projected ridership. At three stops in Tysons — McLean, Greensboro and Spring Hill — ridership is a mere fraction of what planners projected in a 2004 environmental impact report.

In May of this year, for example, average daily weekday ridership was 1,618 at the McLean station, slightly below the 1,634 in May 2015 and well below the 3,803 the Silver Line was projected to serve in its first year of operation, according to the

THE DISTRICT

2004 report.

To be fair, ridership of the Metro system as a whole is down.

From July to December of last year, overall ridership dropped 12 percent. Metro officials say chronic service disruptions and SafeTrack, an ambitious maintenance program that shut all or parts of the 40-plus-year-old system for the past year, have contributed to the decline.

Boosters of the rail line, however, say it is still too early to write off the Silver Line, asserting that as more developments are built near the stations, ridership will grow.

“I can’t stress enough that ridership is a product of land use,” said Shyam Kannan, managing director of planning at Metro. He

said that the ridership projections came at a time when the economy was booming and were based on “heroic assumptions” about how quickly development would take place around the five new stations. These assumptions failed to materialize, he said, because of a combination of factors, including the 2008 recession, 2013 global economic collapse and, closer to home, sequestration and cuts to the defense budget. Those factors cooled the appetite for new construction.

“The good news is that things did unfreeze,” Kannan said. “If you head out to Wiehle, you’ll see nothing but construction cranes. All of that portends many thousands of trips on Metro.”

‘Baby boxes’ aimed to curb infant deaths In an effort to reduce the infant mortality rate in D.C., local legislation has been proposed to make sure every new parent in the city has access to a free “baby box.” City Council member Brianne Nadeau, herself an expectant mother, introduced a bill this month that would provide all new parents with online training about safe sleep and a baby box to take home. Baby boxes contain a firm, foam mattress that can double as a bassinet during the baby’s first few months — a safer alternative to co-sleeping.

D.C.’s infant mortality rate in 2014 was 7.6 deaths per 1,000 live births, 27 percent higher than the national rate. According to Washington’s Chief Medical Examiner’s office, 48 infants died from 2014 to 2016 because of unsafe sleeping practices. (AP)

Charlottesville police say they stopped a man from jumping to his death with a dramatic rescue. Police said an unidentified 21-year-old man was preparing to jump from a fivestory parking garage Saturday when an officer leaped toward him and pulled him to safety. Police said the man had self-inflicted wounds to both arms and was bleeding when they first encountered him on top of the garage’s retaining wall. Officer Jose Sanchez was able to position himself behind the man without the man seeing, police said. When the man prepared to jump, Sanchez was able to grab him and pull him to safety with other officers. (AP)

local 1 in 4 public schools in the city have had at least 3 since 2012 THE DISTRICT More than one-quarter of D.C. Public Schools have had at least three principals since August 2012, a pattern of upheaval that worries parents and teachers, who say constant change in leadership can generate instability, inhibit trust and stall academic progress.

Capitol Hill’s Eliot-Hine Middle School, for example, is heading into its second straight school

year with a new principal. In 2016, a fresh chief took over after the previous one left for another DCPS school. But the position will be filled anew this upcoming academic year.

DCPS Chancellor Antwan Wilson is sympathetic, saying he expects principals to lead the same school for at least five years. That’s how long he and others believe it typically takes to produce strong academic results and build a vibrant school community through strong relationships with parents, teachers and students.

N. Korean ICBM launch prompts show of force

NORTHWEST PASSAGE

Ship completes earliest transit of Arctic ever

SEOUL The United States pointedly showed off its military prowess over the Pacific and the Korean Peninsula on Sunday in response to North Korea’s launch Friday of a missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, a test Pyongyang said was a “stern warning” for Washington to back off from threats and more sanctions.

In a sign that tensions are spiraling upward rapidly, the U.S. flew two supersonic B-1 bombers over the Korean Peninsula as part of a joint exercise with Japan and South Korea. And U.S. forces conducted a successful missile defense test over the Pacific, sending aloft from Alaska a medium-range ballistic missile that was detected, tracked and intercepted using the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System.

The sense that time is running out in the confrontation with North Korea was reinforced as the day wore on. Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, batted down rumors that the United States would seek an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council. It was pointless, she said, as long as China wouldn’t commit to increasing the pressure on North Korea.

“China must decide whether it

is finally willing to take this vital step,” said Haley, who earlier retweeted a photo of the bombers on their mission over the peninsula. “The time for talk is over.”

The Trump administration’s frustration has grown exponentially in recent days, since Pyongyang on Friday conducted its second successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

Though it landed off the Japanese coast, experts said if the missile had flown in a lower arc it could have reached the U.S.

After 24 days at sea and a journey spanning more than 6,214 miles, the Finnish icebreaker MSV Nordica on Saturday set a record for the earliest transit of the fabled Northwest Passage. The once-forbidding route through the Arctic, linking the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans, has been opening up sooner and for a longer period each summer due to climate change. The previous earliest passage of the season on record — a 25-day trip — happened in 2008, when the Canadian Coast Guard ship Louis L. St-Laurent left St. John’s in Newfoundland on July 5 and arrived in the Beaufort Sea off Point Barrow on July 30. (AP)

Amid the show of force by the U.S. and its allies, North Korea said it would respond with a “resolute act of justice” if it were provoked militarily or economically.

“If the Yankees . . . dare brandish the nuclear stick on this land again . . . the DPRK will clearly teach them manners with the nuclear strategic force,” a North Korean spokesman said, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency. CAROL MORELLO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump speech draws fire from police chiefs

PHILIP RUCKER, ROBERT COSTA AND DAN BALZ

Police leaders across the country moved quickly to distance themselves from — or to outright condemn — President Trump’s statements about “roughing up” people who’ve been arrested.

The public denunciations came as departments are under intense pressure to end brutality and excessive force that can erode the relationship between officers and the people they police — and cost police chiefs their jobs.

Some police leaders worried that three sentences uttered by the president during a Long Island, N.Y., speech Friday could upend nearly three decades of fence-mending since the 1991 Los Angeles Police Department beating of Rodney King ushered in an era of distrust of police.

“The last thing we need is a green light from the president of the United States for officers to use unnecessary force,” Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, told WTOP. Speaking to a gathering of law enforcement officers at Suffolk County Community College, Trump urged officers not to bother shielding suspects’ heads when they put them in a squad car. “You can take the hand away, OK?” he quipped.

A group of uniformed officers standing behind Trump applauded, and, when he turned to face them, some smiled and appeared to chuckle. CLEVE

John Kelly will be sworn in today at the nadir of this presidency, with very low approval ratings, a stalled legislative agenda and a Russia investigation that casts a dark cloud.

Trump envisions Kelly executing his orders with military precision and steely gravitas, and without tending to outside political motivations or fretting about palace intrigue, according to Trump confidants. The president replaced Reince Priebus last week with Kelly, who had what Trump considers a star run as homeland security secretary, in the hope of projecting overall toughness and of inspiring the respect — and even fear — that has eluded him on Capitol Hill.

But no matter how decisive his leadership, Kelly alone cannot turn Trump’s vision into reality.

Warring internal factions that have stirred chaos, stoked suspicions and freelanced policies for six months may not easily submit to Kelly’s rule. And the president — whose rash impulses routinely have sabotaged the best efforts of his senior aides — has shown no willingness to be tamed.

“Kelly is an incredibly disciplined person who could bring order to the process if the animals in the zoo behave,” said John McLaughlin, a former acting CIA director who served in seven administrations. “The danger he has is that Trump will be Trump.”

Kelly got a quick introduction to his new life Saturday: an

angry tweet storm from Trump in which he told Senate Republicans to “Get smart!” and change chamber rules to make it easier to pass his priorities, saying that the senators “look like fools.”

In Trump’s White House, given the personality of the president and the clashing world views among the senior staff, Kelly might be forced to manage the president and his staff as well as those outside of the Oval Office.

“It will be a challenge for someone who has demonstrated great discipline, General Kelly, to be able to introduce President Trump to some of the discipline he should have in the Oval Office,” said Andrew Card, who was President George W. Bush’s first White House chief of staff.

“Great generals do not allow impulse to dictate how they are going to inspire other people to do their jobs. Generals appreciate the consequence of decisions.”

Kelly, who still is something of

Twitter logic President Trump cannot seem to decide if he wants the Affordable Care Act to implode or be fixed.

JULY 28, 2:25 A.M.: “3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down. As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!”

an outsider in the administration, is well liked by its three factions — family, campaign loyalists, and establishment Republicans — and has forged particularly close bonds with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

Trump has always venerated military valor, and he recruited several generals into his

administration. He first sought Kelly out for the chief of staff role in May, but was rebuffed multiple times until Kelly agreed last week to take the job.

Although Kelly does not bring legislative experience, Trump sees him as part of the solution to his administration’s legislative woes, according to people familiar with the decision to bring Kelly to the White House.

Instead of hiring a Capitol Hill insider, Trump wanted someone who adds stature and commands respect, the people said.

“The only way a chief of staff can be successful is if he is empowered by the president, and I never had any feeling that Reince Priebus was fully empowered by the president,” said Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa. “The success of Kelly will be significantly dependent upon how much authority President Trump grants him.”

Putin hits back on sanctions

MOSCOW Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday that the U.S. diplomatic missions in Moscow and elsewhere in the country will have to reduce their staffs by 755 people, signaling a significant escalation in the Russian response to American sanctions over the Kremlin’s intervention in the 2016 presidential election.

The United States and Russia have expelled dozens of each other’s diplomats before — but Sunday’s statement, made by Putin in an interview with the Rossiya-1 television channel, indicated the single largest forced reduction in embassy staff, comparable only to the closing of the American diplomatic presence in the months following the Communist revolution in 1917.

In the interview, Putin said that the number of American diplomatic and technical personnel will be capped at 455 — equivalent to the number of their Russian counterparts working in the United States. Close to 1,200 employees now work at the U.S. embassy and consulates in Russia, according to U.S. and Russian data.

Putin’s remarks came during a 3½-day trip by Vice President Pence to Eastern Europe to show U.S. support for countries that have chafed at interference from Moscow — Estonia, Georgia and Montenegro.

“The president has made it

very clear that Russia’s destabilizing activities, its support for rogue regimes, its activities in Ukraine, are unacceptable,” Pence said, when asked by reporters in Tallinn, Estonia, whether he expects Trump to sign the sanctions. “The president made very clear that very soon he will sign the sanctions.”

The Kremlin had said Friday, as the Senate voted to strengthen sanctions on Russia, that some American diplomats would be expelled, but the size of the reduction is dramatic. It covers the main embassy in Moscow, as well as missions in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok.

$6.6M

Punch, counter-punch Russia’s reduction in U.S. diplomatic and technical staff is a response to President Obama’s expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats in December over the alleged Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s mail server. The U.S. also revoked access to two Russian diplomatic compounds, which officials said were being used for intelligence collection.

“This is a landmark moment,” Andrei Kolesnikov, a journalist for the newspaper Kommersant who regularly travels with Putin and has interviewed him

extensively over the past 17 years, told The Post in an interview Friday. “His patience has seriously run out, and everything that he’s been putting off in this conflict, he’s now going to do.”

The Russian government is also seizing two diplomatic properties — a dacha, or country house, in a leafy neighborhood in Moscow, and a warehouse — following the decision by the Obama administration in December to take possession of two Russian mansions in the United States.

The move comes as it has become apparent that Russia has abandoned its hopes for better relations with the United States under a Trump administration.

“I think retaliation is long, long overdue,” Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.”

“We have a very rich toolbox at our disposal,” Ryabkov said.

Hours later, Putin said during his evening interview that he expected relations between the U.S. and Russia to worsen, and that Russia would likely come up with other measures to counter American financial sanctions.

Russia’s move increases the likelihood of new, perhaps asymmetrical reprisals by the U.S. Michael McFaul, former ambassador to Russia, tweeted Sunday: “If these cuts are real, Russians should expect to wait weeks if not months to get visas to come to U.S.” ANDREW ROTH ; ASHLEY PARKER , IN TALLINN, ESTONIA, AND MADHUMITA MURGIA, IN WASHINGTON, CONTRIBUTED (THE WASHINGTON POST)

FDA to target nicotine levels in cigarettes HEALTH For the first time, the federal government is proposing cutting the nicotine level in cigarettes so they aren’t as addictive.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration chief Scott Gottlieb on Friday directed the agency’s staff to develop new regulations on nicotine. The FDA has had the power since 2009 to regulate nicotine levels but hasn’t done so. Stocks of cigarette makers plunged after the announcement.

The FDA is giving e-cigarette makers four more years to comply with a review of products already on the market, Gottlieb said. The agency intends to write rules that balance safety with e-cigarettes’ role in helping smokers quit.

Tar and other substances inhaled through smoking make cigarettes deadly, but the nicotine in tobacco is what makes them addictive.

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable heart disease, cancer and death in the United States, causing more than 480,000 deaths annually.

Smoking rates, however, have been falling for decades and are at about 15 percent.

Gottlieb said he has asked the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products to explore whether lowering nicotine could create a black market for higher nicotine products. He also wants new rules to address youths and flavored tobacco products.

THREE POINTERS

Kendrick adds value Junior Galette

Corps strength at work Influx of linebacker talent adds competition to heart of revamped Redskins defense RICHMOND When constructing a defense, smart architects seek a few key ingredients: Depth, competition and versatility. Based on early looks at training camp, the Redskins’ defense has all three traits.

No position group reflects this better than the linebacking corps. Whether it’s inside, where five of the 10 players boast starting capabilities, or the edge rushers, where coaches have three candidates for the spot opposite Pro Bowler Ryan Kerrigan, Washington has options.

In just the first three practices, we’ve seen Will Compton and Mason Foster man their starting spots at inside linebacker, Compton paired with Zach Brown — a free agent addition who made the Pro Bowl with Buffalo last year — Foster and Brown together, and Foster next to Martrell Spaight.

Mixing and matching will give coaches an idea of how guys play together, but who will start remains uncertain.

Chris Carter, who signed with the Redskins in March, served primarily as a special teams ace during stints with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Baltimore. But he’s already joined Compton and Brown on pass-heavy situations, because he’s a better coverage option than some of Washington’s outside linebackers.

The days of every-down defensive starters in the NFL are over.

Sub-packages enable defenses to plug in players based on down, distance and situation. The more options the Redskins have, the better they’ll be able to counter specific run-heavy or pass-heavy packages.

“You want to have strong groups. … It’s a lot like the NBA, the teams that have that depth are tough,” Carter said.

Meanwhile, Washington’s depth at outside linebacker should help the pass rush remain relentless.

Kerrigan is locked in as the starter at left outside linebacker.

Depth at linebacker Games started inside in 2016: Will Compton (15), Mason Foster (13), Su’a Cravens (3), Martrell Spaight (1) Contenders to start in 2017: Compton, Foster, Zach Brown Games started outside in 2016: Ryan Kerrigan (16), Preston Smith (16) Contenders to start in 2017: Kerrigan, Smith, Junior Galette, Ryan Anderson (EXPRESS)

Preston Smith would like to hang onto his job on the other side, but he has Junior Galette breathing down his neck, and rookie Ryan Anderson is nipping at their heels. Trent Murphy will miss the first four games while serving a suspension for violating the league’s policy on performanceenhancing drugs.

Whether it’s Kerrigan and Smith, or Kerrigan and Galette, who has looked good while attempting to play for the first time

Patriots linebacker/defensive end Rob Ninkovich, 33, retires after 11 years

in two years after back-to-back Achilles tendon tears, the third guy is going to play quite a bit.

So will the fourth.

Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, who was outside linebackers coach last year, is a fan of rotating his pass-rushers. As a result, Kerrigan had the lightest workload of his career last season but might have benefited from the extra rest, finishing with 11 sacks.

Based on the wrinkles we’ve already seen in camp, it’s safe to expect that Manusky has more creativity in store. He could use Murphy, Anderson or Smith to rush as linemen and run stunts with Kerrigan and Galette.

The Redskins are going to have to make some tough calls, particularly at linebacker. In the past, limited depth meant some fringe players made the 53-man roster, but couldn’t really contribute beyond special teams. This year, the “fringe” players can play.

Fedde shelled in MLB debut ROCKIES 10, NATIONALS 6 Erick Fedde’s first major league start ended with a fidgety walk to the home dugout after four grueling innings. Colorado scored five earned runs (and seven overall) against the rookie, who still did exactly what the Nationals thought their top pitching prospect would. He attacked, forcing the Rockies to beat him.

They did, and the Nationals fell 10-6 in the first game of a Sunday doubleheader. The second ended after Express’ deadline.

While Fedde was not perfect, he didn’t crumble, and the Nats didn’t have to scramble for a long man, using four relievers to leave four arms fresh for the nightcap.

Rookie gets ahead of hitters but gives up 7 runs in four innings

Erick Fedde stayed aggressive while giving up seven runs and 10 hits.

As the Rockies found holes, benefited from close calls — and hit a handful of balls hard, too — Fedde, 24, kept challenging them. He allowed 10 hits and walked two in four innings, so his debut will not be listed with Stephen Strasburg’s among the Nationals’ all-time greats.

But he made an impression with first-pitch strikes to 18 of 22 Rockies. Fedde got ahead of Charlie Blackmon and D.J. LeMahieu to start the game, but both singled anyway. He challenged Nolan Arenado with two fastball strikes, one on the outside corner, one on the inside.

NATIONALS

Strasburg progresses through bullpen session Stephen Strasburg shrugged off light rain and pitched a lengthy bullpen session Saturday, when he was originally scheduled to start but was instead on the disabled list after what had been deemed a “nerve impingement” in his right elbow. GM Mike Rizzo said Strasburg came through the bullpen session “very well” and the team would continue to monitor him. (TWP)

He still walked Arenado, at one point missing with a 97 mph fastball that sailed wide. Pitching coach Mike Maddux came out to chat after that, and Fedde got a double-play ball to help him escape with two runs of damage.

He proceeded to strike out the side in the second but struggled in the third, allowing two more runs. More of Fedde’s pitches found holes than barrels, but enough found both to give the Rockies three more runs. In fairness, far more experienced starters than him have struggled against Colorado this year.

Trailing 4-1 in the third, Ryan Zimmerman hit a game-tying homer to pass Frank Howard as the all-time leader among Washington players with 238 homers. Zimmerman hit No. 239 with no one on in the seventh.

Cabrera, 32, was batting .295 with 13 homers and 56 RBIs for Chicago.

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

Williams is just getting started STREAMING For Jessica Williams, playing a part in the entertainment industry’s movement toward greater diversity on screen is something she takes great pride in. As a recent addition to the Netflix family, she applauds the streaming giant for leading the way.

Williams, who broke through as a correspondent on “The Daily Show,” takes on her first starring role in Netflix’s original film “The Incredible Jessica James,” which debuted Friday. The actress feels the streaming platform helps shape stories about people of color, citing original programming like “Master of None” and “Orange Is the New Black,” which “showcase people of color in an amazing way.”

While inclusion continues to improve, Williams says the path to racial equality is far from over.

“I think it’s a difficult time

in some ways to be a person of color,” she says. “And I think the same for actors of color, but I also think it’s a great a time.

Because I think now ... there’s so much more room for us to be seen, and there’s room for us to create our own stories.”

Signing on to “Jessica James” and shifting gears from a comedy news show to a feature film wasn’t an easy choice. Williams certainly felt some trepidation with the move.

“I was really nervous because this movie does have comedy in it,” she says. “It also has a lot of heart, and some sweet moments.

So I was worried whether I would be able to portray that or not. But I had a lot of fun doing it, and I found out that I could.”

Written and directed by Jim Strouse — who directed Williams in his 2015 film, “People Places Things” — the story was written with Williams in mind.

Williams, who is also an executive producer on the movie, wanted to accurately depict the “life of a modern, young black woman.”

‘The Sinner’ 10 p.m. Wednesday on USA

This new crime thriller anthology series follows a mother (Jessica Biel) who commits an unexpected act of violence in public and the detective (Bill Pullman) working to figure out why she did it.

Follow the leaders When it comes to the movement toward racial equality, Jessica Williams says she’s mindful of the actresses who paved the way in promoting diversity. “So many black actresses came before me and my generation,” she says. “They did not necessarily have this opportunity that I feel like I have now, and so I’m really grateful for that.” J.C.

For Strouse, Williams was the right person to portray the everchanging nature of romantic relationships.

“I remember when a relationship goes astray, you break up, you don’t talk and in like maybe months down the road you have

coffee,” he says. “Now it’s like, you ghost and maybe a couple months down the road you start liking each other’s photos again.

It’s a weird time.”

Williams has the distinction of being the youngest correspondent hired for “The Daily Show,” but she’s hoping to join the list of the show’s alumni who have moved on to bigger projects.

“To be mentioned among people like Samantha Bee or Hasan Minhaj and Steve Carrell and Steve Colbert is insane,” she says.

“I packed up everything to move and be on the ‘Daily Show’ and I was nervous because I was 22.

I felt like in the beginning I had a lot to prove, and it’s really an honor to be among those people.”

A multitude of sins: ‘Preacher’ offers up some unholy terrors can make others do his bidding. And all hail EthiopianIrish thespian Ruth Negga as Jesse’s pancake-making grifter girlfriend Tulip. Those big, seemingly innocent eyes!

That smoldering passion!

The show’s sword-wielding bad guy is known as the Saint of Killers. He’s a couple of hundred years old and spent time in hell but is back on Earth aiming to slay Jesse. He’ll slice off a guy’s head. Just. Because.

Episodes deftly weave in backstory even while barreling forward. Last week, Jesse, Tulip and their vampire pal Cassidy went to the library to listen to chapter 57 of the audiobook “American Psychopaths,” which is devoted to the

$28.1M

Saint. Turns out he had a wife and baby, only they died.

Meanwhile, three men are driving around in a van labeled “Soul Happy Go Go” in Japanese characters. They seek donors who’ll let a machine suck out a percentage of their soul.

“You won’t even miss it,” they say. One donor gets $150K. His soul fragment is turned into a pill that’s sold to a rich guy for $2.7 million. He hopes it’ll fix his wife, who has dementia.

The Saint of Killers has no soul but wants one. Maybe it’ll get him into heaven for a reunion with his deceased family. He ends up swallowing a pill with 1 percent of the Preacher’s soul! Then the Preacher locks him in a van and sinks it in a swamp.

The suspense is killing me!

So are the sly jokes. After the “American Psychopaths” chapter on the Saint of Killers, the narrator says the next chapter is: “Dick Cheney.”

“Preacher” sneaks up on you like a hulking man with a bloody sword, but also makes you laugh by serving up pancakes with a message spelled on them in M&Ms. Based on a comic book, the AMC series (9 p.m. Mondays) is crazy … and crazy good.

The show, now in its second season, is filmed in New Orleans, with its decay and decadence on full display. The plot? Let’s say good versus evil, except the good folks have more than a touch of bad.

MCDONALD’S VIA TWITTER

trending

“Tomi Lahren is still on her parents’ insurance.

After all this hatred towards Obamacare and she benefits handily from it.” @2020FIGHT, reacting after the news emerged that controversial conservative pundit Tomi Lahren, who is 24 years old, is still on her parents’ health insurance, thanks to Obamacare. Lahren shared that detail while being interviewed by liberal comedian Chelsea Handler at Politicon on Saturday. Lahren was blasted for benefiting from an element of a program that she says is in a “death spiral.”

“If @RickandMorty can get McDonald’s Szechuan sauce then I’m never giving up on my dreams.” @DPDRAGON, tweeting after McDonald’s sent an industrial-

size container of Szechuan sauce to “Rick and Morty” co-creator Justin Roiland over the weekend. In a letter sent with the sauce, McDonald’s wrote that it came from an alternate dimension “where it’s always 1998,” the year the fast-food chain gave out Szechuan sauce for the premiere of Disney’s “Mulan.” In Season 3 of “Rick and Morty,” the character Rick declares it his goal to find more of the discontinued condiment, and fans of the series had been calling for McDonald’s to release the sauce. McDonald’s tweeted out the image above, revealing that at least three more bottles exist.

“Wtf is Outback Steakhouse planning.” @EATMYAESTHETICS, asking in the tweet that started a conspiracy theory about Outback Steakhouse. The tweeter noticed that in at least a few cities and states (the greater New York area and Indianapolis, for example), the distribution of Outback Steakhouse locations resembles a star, or a pentagram, a symbol that is associated with Satanism in the U.S. Other Twitter users responded with other instances where Outback locations fit this trend.

The restaurant responded by tweeting: “If the Bloomin’ Onion is evil then we don’t want to be nice.”

Help Make MALARIA History!

“Is it just me or has the White House turned into ‘Game of Thrones’ with someone getting killed off every other week?” @LIAMSTEWART137, tweeting after

President Trump fired his chief of staff, Reince Priebus, on Friday. The announcement was just the latest example of the high level of turnover among top-ranking officials in the Trump administration, coming one week after press secretary Sean Spicer resigned. Observers compared the turnover to the frequent killing off of characters on “Game of Thrones.”

Anthony Scaramucci’s wife, Deidre, filed for divorce while she was nine months pregnant, sources told the New York Post.

George Clooney said the paparazzi who took photos of him and his wife, Amal Clooney, cradling their newborn twins will be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” The pictures, published by French magazine Voici, were taken at the Clooneys’ residence in Italy. Voici claimed they were the first public photos of twins Ella and Alexander, born June 6.
