Police in Gilbert, Minn., issued a warning about local youth who can’t hold their alcohol. They’re disoriented and causing havoc. Also, they’re birds. “The Gilbert Police Department has received several reports of birds that appear to be ‘under the influence’ flying into windows, cars and acting confused,� Police Chief Ty Techar said Tuesday. An early frost meant berries fermented early, he said, and birds are eating them and getting drunk. (TWP)

‘Pour your own beer’ off to a foamy start
BUTTERFLIES
Look out for monarchs migrating
CAPITALS When word got out that pour-yourown-beer stations had appeared at Capital One Arena, along with $40 million in renovations that were completed over the summer, the Caps’ season opener Wednesday night suddenly became a must-see event. What could be a better fan experience than purchasing a $15 cup and getting to operate the tap yourself? As fans lined up, scanned the bar code on their cups and selected one of at least nine beers on tap (BUD LIGHT!), the foam began to pour. Frustrated, those fans emptied the froth, re-scanned their cups and topped them off, only to get ... more foam. Then, like some sort of cruel video game, the timer on the machine eventually ran out, disabling the tap and leaving the fans with a quarter-cup of beer and lots of head. Fortunately, customer service

‘Poisoning democracy’ THE DISTRICT D.C. lawmakers have long complained that residents of the nation’s capital pay federal taxes and serve in the military yet are denied self-governance because they lack a vote in Congress. But on Tuesday, the D.C. Council reduced even the limited ability of District residents to decide local matters — by repealing a ballot measure that voters passed just four months ago. The council voted 8 to 5 to overturn Initiative 77, which would have raised the minimum wage for bartenders, servers, bellhops and others who receive tips. The move seemed hypocritical to some because local lawmakers howl when Congress uses its power to overturn laws and spending decisions made by the D.C. Council. In Northwest, Lisa B. Cohen of Takoma has been watching the repeal effort in horror. “They are acting just like our congressional masters,” said Cohen, a 58-year-old congressional staffer who tweeted her displeasure at D.C. Council Member Brandon Todd, D-Ward 4, one of the eight to overturn the measure. “It completely undermines our efforts for enfranchisement.” David Joseph, who lives in nearby, agreed. “The repeal of 77 and ignoring of the voters reinforces the idea we shouldn’t have democracy, and it’s right out of the playbook of the people who are standing against statehood,” said Joseph, a 38-year-old political consultant. “They can point to this and say, ‘Your city council doesn’t believe in democracy, so why should I?’ ” “What they are doing is poisoning democracy,” said Fernando

Critics say D.C. Council’s vote to overturn 77 hurts statehood push
Karim Soumah hugs a fellow server after the D.C. Council voted Tuesday to overturn a ballot measure raising the minimum wage for tipped workers.
Laguarda, a 52-year-old who lives in Tenleytown. “D.C. should be a role model for a flowering, rampant democracy.” The council members who voted for repeal said they acted in the best interests of the city, which is what voters elected them to do. They said Initiative 77 was a bad law that threatened to harm the city’s burgeoning dining industry by driving up labor costs. And they saw no contradiction in repealing a voter initiative while also pressing for statehood. “Not one resident of the District of Columbia is able to vote for a single member of Congress. That’s the difference,” Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, D, who led the repeal charge, said last week. “They voted for me, and I was against the initiative.” Council member Charles Allen, D-Ward 6, disagreed. Allen opposed Initiative 77 but also
“I feel like our vote doesn’t count and our voices aren’t being heard.” RICHARD JONES, a 38-year-old physician who lives in Southeast and voted for Initiative 77
opposed repeal. Allen, who has led a “Hands Off D.C.” movement since 2016, said he can’t simultaneously nullify the result of a local election while arguing that Congress should respect the will of D.C. residents. D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D, the city’s longtime non-voting representative in the House, said she doesn’t expect the Initiative 77 repeal to hurt the city’s campaign for statehood because local and state
Former Democratic aide charged with posting personal data on GOP senators online
governments around the country have been increasingly overturning voter initiatives. “It’s not as if the D.C. Council was doing something that is inconsistent with the selfgoverning rights of states and cities,” Norton said. Still, Norton opposed repeal, and a quote from her to that effect was projected onto a building next to city hall on the eve of the vote. “It’s important for me to be consistent on overturning legislation because I don’t want anyone to throw it in my face that I’m for overturning matters when the District does it and not when Congress does it, even though I understand there are differences between the two,” Norton said. Bo Shuff, who leads the statehood advocacy group D.C. Vote, counters the notion that repealing voter initiatives undermines the principle of self-determination at the heart of the city’s statehood bid. “The fight for statehood and fight for equal representation is all about being able to elect representatives who speak for us,” Shuff said. “We have that on the D.C. Council. We may not always agree with what they do.” Mendelson has noted that he, Mayor Muriel Bowser and other officials easily beat primary challenges in June after campaigning against Initiative 77. But none of them announced they wanted to repeal the ballot measure before the primary, and Mendelson repeatedly declined to say what he would do if the measure passed. Some voters say they’ll remember who voted for repeal. “These people are at least still a little accountable in that we can vote them out,” said Will Urquhart, a 34-year-old in Foggy Bottom. “It’s not like when Congress overturns what we do, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Dropped iPhone leads police to rape suspect A 25-year-old Maryland man with a long arrest record was charged with first-degree rape Wednesday amid allegations he dragged the victim into a wooded area in Rockville as she walked from a Metro station just before midnight.

Investigators were led to the suspect, Dustin Thomas Rogers, in large part because he left his iPhone at the crime scene, according to Montgomery District Court records filed Thursday.

Gerrymander case goes back to court MARYLAND Federal judges in Maryland floated the idea Thursday of taking the state’s congressional voting map out of the hands of political leaders and leaving the drawing of electoral lines to an independent, nonpartisan commission. A three-judge panel pressed the attorney general’s office and Republican voters challenging the electoral map about the possibility of settling their long-running case as it arrived back in court for the first time since the Supreme Court declined to immediately review the matter of redrawn maps. The high court in June avoided answering the question of when extreme partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional in the Maryland case involving a Democratic-drawn map — and in another from Wisconsin involving a Republican-led effort. The unsigned opinion left
Maryland’s electoral lines untouched for the 2018 election and returned the case to the lower court. At issue is the 6th District in western Maryland, which was redrawn in 2011 to include parts of heavily Democratic Montgomery County. Michael Kimberly, an attorney for a group of Maryland Republicans, told the federal judges that new congressional districts designed by an independent commission would satisfy his clients. “We want the state to conduct elections with a neutrally drawn map,” he said. Former governor Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, has been blunt about the partisan mapmaking in a deposition in the case, saying Democratic leaders intentionally redrew the districts to try to give their party an advantage.

End of the line: Metro rider group is getting the boot demonstrates they still have no unified plan to correct Metro’s ridership slump, they dissolve the very council that could help them come up with a rider-sponsored approach to the ridership problem.” There was a time when Metro seemed to want their input, said Debra MacKenzie, who represents Arlington County on the council. Recalling Metro’s ads urging riders to join, MacKenzie said, “They said they wanted to hear from riders. They reached out and some of us reached back and said, ‘Yes!’ ” The council members at Wednesday’s meeting vowed not to go quietly, and talked about approaching members of Congress and local elected officials to intervene. But they acknowledged that salvation is a long shot. “I wouldn’t bet a lot of money on it,” Kortum said. At previous meetings, Metro staff have usually come to brief the group on some issue or another. They backed out of coming this time, canceling a planned briefing on how a pilot project testing out cashless buses on the 79 route is going. “Given it’s probably our last meeting, we’ll probably never have that discussion,” Kortum said of the cashless idea. On a speakerphone, Metro board member Christian Dorsey told council members he disagrees with the decision to disband the group, but acknowledged he likely lacks the votes to stop it from happening. He apologized and thanked

a sign of respect for the time that we put in as volunteers,” she said. Metro’s explanation is that it’s costing staff time to run the council. There are some vague complaints about the number of committees the body has, and that Metro could continue to get rider input through Amplify, an online survey tool it uses at times. But the surveys only ask what Metro officials want to know, the riders said. The council would bring up issues Metro might not ask about, like how it handles communications during service disruptions. And, as MacKenzie put it, asking riders questions online isn’t the same as rider representatives bringing ideas and complaints to Metro officials face-to-face.
ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
The streets around Capital One Arena were filled Wednesday night with a sea of people in red making their way to celebrate the raising of the Capitals’ first Stanley Cup banner. But in a somber and sparse white room at Metro’s headquarters a few blocks away, a group of regular bus and rail riders were gathered, likely for the last time. Volunteers all, the members of Metro’s Riders’ Advisory Council give up one night per month to try to make Metro better. They’re people like Katherine Kortum, the group’s chair, who rides the Yellow or Green Line every day from Mt. Vernon Square to work by Gallery Place. On this night, for their efforts, Metro gave them a small container of broccoli and carrot sticks, some sort of packaged dip and some cookies. And the heave-ho. For 13 years, the council has at least provided the pretense that Metro officials care what riders think. It’s a pretense, Kortum said in an interview after the meeting, because when the group weighed in on service cuts, “we would never hear back from anybody.” Still, as Metro’s board signals that it plans to disband the committee at its meeting later this month, the optics are horrible. “It’s laughable,” transit advocate James Pizzurro told the group, “that as the board
Q. Rider Gabriel Hopkins has wondered for years why the outdoor escalators going down to the Union Station platform seem to be reversed. “Why is it that, when you’re facing the escalators, the one you can travel on is to your left, rather than to your right?” he asked. At the bottom, “streams of people moving … in opposite directions have to cross paths to get between the escalators and the turnstiles, which is very annoying and disruptive during rush hour, when those streams are heavy.” A. WMATA has the most escalators and elevators of any system in North America. Each escalator is based on the best way to move people around safely and efficiently, Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly said. Union Station is particularly challenging because all the people coming from Amtrak, commuter trains and buses from the station upstairs make it the busiest entry point in the system. The escalators are set up the way they are, Ly said, based on “many years of observed customer behavior.” The issue, she said, is that for people coming down the escalator to enter the Metro station, the fare machines are to the left.

Vet held in police shooting FLORENCE, S.C. The Vietnam veteran and disbarred lawyer accused of shooting seven law enforcement officers, killing one, bragged online about his marksmanship and love for the “smell of gunpowder” in the years before the deadly standoff, records and social media posts unearthed Thursday showed. Frederick Hopkins lost his law license in the 1980s for mishandling money and faced several minor criminal charges in recent years, including disorderly conduct in 2014. It was around the time of his disbarment that he got serious about amateur target-shooting. Details also emerged about the two-hour standoff Wednesday in which authorities say Hopkins’ gunfire prevented officers from rescuing comrades bleeding on the ground. The slain officer, a 30-year veteran, was tearfully described as the “epitome of a community police officer” by his chief. Two wounded city officers were released from the hospital. A third officer was listed in serious but stable condition, the police chief said. He said he did not know the conditions of three wounded sheriff’s deputies. Hopkins is accused of opening fire Wednesday from his home in an affluent South Carolina neighborhood after deputies tried to carry out a search warrant.
Juan Romero, a hotel busboy who came to the aid of Robert F. Kennedy after the New York senator was shot in Los Angeles, has died. He was 68. A family friend said Thursday that Romero had died at a Modesto, Calif., hospital on Monday, following a heart attack. Romero was a teenager in June 1968 when Kennedy was shot in the head while walking through the Ambassador Hotel kitchen. (AP)

He also allegedly held children hostage inside, authorities said. It was not clear exactly how the confrontation ended. Authorities would say only that the gunman released the children as he was taken into custody. Hopkins was hospitalized with a head injury and unable to speak with officers, Columbia, S.C., television station WIS reported Thursday. The warrant involved an accusation that a 27-year-old person at the home sexually assaulted a foster child who lives there, Florence County Chief Deputy Glenn Kirby said. Back in 2016, the 74-year-old Hopkins posted photos on Facebook of guns set up for target practice, bragging that he was the state’s 2011 “3-Gun Silhouette Champion.” In a 2014 post, he said
“He was one of the good cops.” BYRON BLACK, who lived near the scene of a shooting Wednesday and said that he played on a youth football team coached by Sgt. Terrence Carraway, a Florence, S.C., police officer who was fatally shot Wednesday during a standoff
he celebrated his 70th birthday at a range by repeatedly firing his M14 rifle, which he “set up exactly like the one I used in Vietnam.” His competitive shooting would have begun around the time he lost his law license over $18,000 in wrongfully collected attorney fees. A court order shows that the state Supreme
Court in 1984 allowed Hopkins to pay back the debt over time and surrender his license rather than complete a six-month jail term. Court documents also show that he was injured in Vietnam and received disability payments. During the standoff, the sheriff’s armored personnel carrier was brought in to recover the wounded.

Judge: Move causes immigrants ‘harm’
HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
IMMIGRATION A judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from ending protections that allowed immigrants from four countries to live and work legally in the United States, saying the move would cause “irreparable harm and great hardship.” U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco granted a request for a preliminary injunction against the administration’s decision to discontinue temporary protected status (TPS) for people from Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti and El Salvador. The judge said there is evidence that “President Trump harbors an animus against nonwhite, non-European aliens which influenced his ... decision to end the TPS designation.” The ruling cited Trump’s 2015 campaign speech in which he characterized Mexican immigrants as drug dealers and rapists, his call to bar Muslims from entering the U.S. and his vulgar reference to African countries during a White House meeting about immigration in January. It’s the latest case in which judges have cited Trump’s own comments to rule against his

immigration policies. His words have been turned against him in lawsuits over decisions to separate families at the border, end legal protections for young immigrants and ban people from some Muslim-majority countries. Temporary protected status is granted to countries ravaged by natural disasters or war and lets citizens of those countries remain in the U.S. until the situation improves back home. About 300,000 people have received those protections. The ruling said the government failed to show the harm of continuing the 20-year-old program and that the plaintiffs established that uprooting those immigrants could hurt the local and national economy.

West accuses Russian spies FOREIGN AFFAIRS The United States and other Western nations leveled a slew of new allegations Thursday against Russia’s secretive GRU military spy agency. In a series of coordinated announcements, the U.S., U.K., Netherlands and Australia accused the GRU’s agents of hacking anti-doping agencies, a plane crash investigation and a chemical weapons probe, as well as launching cyberattacks that rocked the 2016 U.S. election and crippled Ukraine in 2017. The U.S. Justice Department charged seven Russian GRU intelligence officers in an international hacking rampage that targeted more than 250 athletes, a nuclear energy company and a Swiss chemical laboratory. U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis, speaking at a meeting Thursday of NATO allies in Brussels, said the West has “a wide variety of responses” available. “Basically, the Russians got caught with their equipment, people who were doing it. ... They are going to have to be held to account,” Mattis said. Dutch officials accused GRU agents of a botched attempt in April to break into the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons using Wi-Fi hacking equipment hidden in the back of a sedan. The Hague-based chemical weapons watchdog was investigating a Novichok

The Dutch also accused the GRU of trying to hack into the investigation of the 2014 downing of a Malaysian Airlines flight over eastern Ukraine that killed all 298 people on board. A Dutchled team says it has strong evidence that the Buk missile that brought the plane down came from a Russia-based military unit — a charge Russia has denied.

Russia claims U.S. runs secret weapons lab Russia’s Defense Ministry on Thursday accused the U.S. of running a secret biological weapons lab in the country of Georgia. Russian officials said the Richard G. Lugar Center for Public Health Research in Tbilisi (named for former U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar) is flouting international conventions and poses a direct security threat to Russia. Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon said the lab is owned and operated by a Georgian public health agency, not the U.S. “The U.S. is not developing biological weapons in the Lugar Center.” (AP)
dismissed the new accusations, calling them “big fantasies.” But the allegations, supported by surveillance footage and overwhelmingly confirmed by independent reporting, paint a picture of the GRU as an agency that routinely crosses red lines — and is increasingly being caught red-handed around the world. In the summer of 2016, the GRU hacked drug-test results from World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) data and posted confidential information about U.S. Olympic athletes, including tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, and gold medal gymnast Simone Biles. WADA publicly called out the Russian military agency for the information operation. The U.S. indictment said the GRU targeted its victims because they had publicly supported a ban on Russian athletes in international sports competitions and because they had condemned Russia’s state-sponsored athlete doping program. The indictment says the seven defendants are all Russian citizens and residents. Three were also indicted in July for allegedly conspiring to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. “We at the Department of Justice are not satisfied with merely exposing the conduct,” U.S. Attorney Scott Brady said. “We seek to arrest those who broke the law. We want to bring them to Pittsburgh. We want them to stand trial. And we want to put them in jail.” GREGORY KATZ, RAPHAEL SATTER AND LORNE COOK (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

Report: China put spy chips on U.S. servers China secretly inserted surveillance microchips into servers used by major technology companies, including Apple and Amazon, in an audacious military operation likely to further inflame trade tensions between the United States and its leading source of electronics components and products, Bloomberg Businessweek reported Thursday. The article — which the companies vigorously denied — detailed a years-long effort to install the surveillance chips in servers whose motherboards were assembled in China. One affected company had its servers used by U.S. government clients, including Department of Defense data centers, Navy warships and the CIA in its drone operations. The extent of the data China collected from the chips was not clear, and no consumer information was known to have been stolen, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. But it said a top-secret U.S. government investigation, dating from 2015 and involving the FBI, remains open. The Chinese government, Apple, Amazon and other involved companies disputed the report to Bloomberg Businessweek, and the FBI and U.S. intelligence officials declined to comment.

GOP agrees to fed pay raise Preliminary deal would likely lift a salary freeze for executive officials POLITICS Congressional Republicans have tentatively agreed to a 1.9 percent pay raise for the nation’s 2 million civilian federal workers, overruling President Trump, who sought to freeze their pay. The preliminary deal between House and Senate Republicans is also likely to lift a salary freeze affecting hundreds of executivelevel employees and appointees, including Vice President Pence and members of the Trump Cabinet, according to lawmakers and aides.

raise for civilian workers, but are opposed to lifting the pay freeze for executive-level appointees that was in place throughout much of the Obama administration. It is uncertain whether that element of the GOP deal will survive final talks. Republicans who had been pushing to give civilian federal workers a raise hailed the outcome. GOP lawmakers including Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., had pushed Trump to reverse his initial decision in August to deny the raise. Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ga., who chairs the spending subcommittee that handles the issue, credited Comstock for pushing for the result. Comstock is in a tough campaign to hang on to

Senators pore over report

ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
POLITICS A pair of key Republican senators expressed satisfaction Thursday with a new FBI report, increasing the odds of Senate confirmation this weekend of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who has faced sexual misconduct allegations. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, one of three Republicans who had not indicated how they plan to vote, said Thursday that “it appears to be a very thorough investigation, but I’m going back later to personally read the interviews.” Shortly afterward, Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who requested the investigation, told reporters that “we’ve seen no additional corroborating information.” Collins, Flake and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, are the critical votes that could ensure Kavanaugh’s ascension to the nation’s highest court. On Thursday, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, N.D., a red-state Democrat whose vote Republicans were courting, said she would vote no on Kavanaugh. That leaves Sen. Joe Manchin III, W.Va., as the only Democrat still undecided on the nomination. “Last Thursday’s hearing called into question Judge Kavanaugh’s current temperament, honesty and impartiality,” said Heitkamp, who said that in the testimony of Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford, she heard “the voices of women I have known throughout my life who have similar stories of sexual assault and abuse.” Murkowski said she did not yet know whether the FBI had been thorough enough in its investigation or spoken to enough witnesses. Asked whether she felt she had been given enough time to consider her decision before

Key Republicans signal satisfaction with new FBI probe of Kavanaugh sexual misconduct allegations
Hundreds arrested in anti-Kavanaugh protest Hundreds of demonstrators, including comedian Amy Schumer, were arrested Thursday after staging a thunderous protest at the Hart Senate Office Building opposing Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, who faces allegations of sexual misconduct. An initial Senate vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination is scheduled for Friday, and a final vote could happen over the weekend. Several other demonstrations were planned Thursday night and Friday in what protesters described as their “last chance to be heard.” U.S. Capitol Police said they arrested 293 people Thursday for unlawfully demonstrating in the Hart building.

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens: Kavanaugh should not be confirmed
voting this weekend, Murkowski added: “I certainly hope so, yes.” The comments came as leading Democrats and Republicans offered dueling assessments of the FBI background check into allegations of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh, who has faced multiple accusers, including Ford, who says he assaulted her while they were teenagers. Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, said Thursday that the report included “no hint of misconduct,” while senior Democrats called it incomplete and suggested that the White House limited the probe to protect Kavanaugh. Neither Ford nor Kavanaugh were interviewed by the FBI for what senators said was a 46-page report that delayed the roiled confirmation process by a week. Lawyers for Kavanaugh’s accusers criticized the probe, saying the FBI had declined to interview the witnesses they suggested. “There’s nothing in it that we didn’t already know,” Grassley
said. “It’s time to vote.” Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the committee, later told reporters that “the most notable part of this report is what’s not in it.” Senate Minority L eader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., blamed the White House for the limited scope of the latest probe. He said he disagreed with Grassley’s assessment that there is “no hint of misconduct” but declined to elaborate. White House spokesman Raj Shah said that the FBI agents had reached out to 10 witnesses — nine of whom were interviewed — and that no one had corroborated the account of Ford, the first woman to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual assault. “The president, the White House are firmly behind Brett Kavanaugh,” Shah said. “We believe that all the Senate’s questions have been addressed .” The FBI interviewed three people who Ford said attended the gathering where she said she was assaulted, as well as two other friends of Kavanaugh’s who were listed on his calendar as attending a gathering on July 1 of the same summer that Ford said she believes the alleged assault occurred. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said that nine of report’s pages came from a three-hour interview with Mark Judge, a former classmate of Kavanaugh who Ford claims was present at the time of the alleged assault in the early 1980s. Judge has denied her claim. Ford was never focused on July 1 as the date that the assault occurred, a member of her legal team said, emphasizing that the FBI would have known that if agents had interviewed Ford.

Monday night test: Saints may expose Redskins’ defense The Redskins’ defense is about to be judged — and definitely not on a curve. The Saints’ offense, which will be playing in the friendly confines of the Superdome on “Monday Night Football,” represents the harshest standard. Washington will either show its defense is truly good, or New Orleans will score more than 30 points. The Redskins enter a nationally televised game — where reputations are built and destroyed — allowing the secondfewest points per game in the NFL (14.7) and the third-fewest average passing yards (187.3). Critics would say the Redskins have faced one quarterback who’s already been
benched in Sam Bradford, a second returning from a long injury layoff in Andrew Luck and a third, Aaron Rodgers, who was playing on one leg. Washington’s 2-1 start would be 3-0 if not for a horrible home loss to Indianapolis. Now the Redskins return from a bye week ready to face five weeks worth of a variety of offensive styles that will really show how much Washington’s defense has improved from recent years when it ranked among the NFL’s worst. After New Orleans, Carolina presents balance with quarterback Cam Newton and multiuse back Christian McCaffrey. Then, Dallas showcases Ezekiel Elliott, who entered Thursday leading the NFL in rushing, and quarterback Dak Prescott, who has yet to play

his best this season. In Week 8, the Giants offer receiver Odell Beckham Jr., sensational rookie runner Saquon Barkley, and quarterback Eli Manning, who has beaten the Redskins far too many times. And then, Atlanta receiver Julio Jones, who is practically impossible to contain, comes to town. Redskins coach Jay Gruden concedes the multiple looks will be daunting to defend. “Each week you have to take it for its own entity, each play, each quarter, then move on to the next one when the time is right,” he said. “We will worry about Cam Newton or whoever we play after [New Orleans.]” The next worry is more like a nightmare for Washington’s defense.

yards and a has a 115.3 passer rating. Michael Thomas has an NFL-high 42 catches for 445 yards. Running back Alvin Kamara ranks third in the league with 35 catches and is coming off a 134-yards rushing performance. Remember last season when Kamara scored on an 18yard catch to force overtime as the Saints beat the Redskins? Washington can’t get into another shootout like it did in that 34-31 loss last year. Not if this defense is to survive and advance through the schedule. Pass rushers Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith need to show a pulse. Kerrigan has no sacks and has barely sniffed a quarterback. Brees takes a little longer in the pocket, so there should be time to get after him. Rookie tackle Daron Payne needs to announce himself as a future star, maybe by stopping Kamara from converting first downs up the middle. It’s why the Redskins drafted him. It’s time the Redskins prove bad offenses aren’t behind their defense’s strong start. Rick Snider has covered sports in Washington since 1978. Follow him on Twitter @Snide_Remarks

MLS D.C. United’s road map through the 2018 season was always going to include a lengthy first-half detour, a midseason refueling stop and a smooth path down the home stretch. As the final month of the regular season kicks off, the team is right where it hoped to be. United sat in last place at 2-7-5 after playing 12 of 14 games on the road to start the season. Following the July 14 opening of Audi Field — and the debut of star forward Wayne Rooney — the club is 8-4-3. With five matches left, United (10-11-8) is two points out of the sixth and final Eastern Conference playoff slot entering Sunday’s match against the Chicago Fire (8-16-7) at Audi Field (1 p.m., ESPN). “This is how we thought this would all shake out,” United coach Ben Olsen said. “We knew we were going to struggle for the first half of the year, and we knew we would have an opportunity to grow in rhythm and wins once we came home and realized who we were and got some signings in.” In notching a 5-0 victory over the sixth-place Montreal Impact last Saturday, United maintained

control of its own destiny in the chase for that final playoff slot because it has played two fewer games than Montreal. The result also served as a statement win for a team that looks capable of not only qualifying for the playoffs, but making some noise there, thanks to its attacking duo. Luciano Acosta, has nine goals and a leagueleading 16 assists, and Rooney boasts seven goals and seven assists in 15 games. “It’s a good feeling knowing that we control our destiny,” defender Steve Birnbaum said. “We’ve got a lot of confidence in this group right now, especially when we play at home — guys show up, and obviously we’re
pretty lethal in the attack.” At this point, the squad that limped through the season’s opening months while Audi Field completed construction feels like a different team entirely. D.C. also doesn’t play on the road again until visiting Chicago for the regular-season finale Oct. 28 But there’s an understanding in the locker room that a homestand and extra games left to play don’t guarantee points. “We’ve showed the level we can play at,” Rooney said. “It’s a consistency thing — we need to try and play with more consistency, from now until the end of the season, and just have the players believe in themselves.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

Terps return healthy O-line Full group of starters may play in same game for first time all season COLLEGE FOOTBALL While Maryland has avoided starting the 2018 season with an excess of season-ending injuries like it had last year, the offensive line has been in flux. The Terrapins have used eight starters on the line through four games — with a different grouping of players in each game. The team returned all five full-time starters from 2017, but the group has yet to be healthy at the same time. “We had practiced through camp with different guys in at different spots with the thought of having a lot of guys play,” interim coach Matt Canada said. “We weren’t doing it to plan on a lot of guys being injured, but that’s kind of what’s happened. We’re fortunate that we prepared that way, and I think they’re doing a good job of it.” Heading into Maryland’s game at No. 15 Michigan on Saturday, Canada said he is hopeful the offensive line will be fully healthy. Michigan leads the nation in total defense — allowing an average of just 232.6 yards per game — and has registered 16 sacks. From left to right, Derwin Gray, Sean Christie, Brendan Moore, Terrance Davis and Damian Prince make up Maryland’s group of returning starters. Just Moore and Christie have been healthy enough to play all four

games this year, but all five practiced with the first-team offense to start the week. Maryland’s best offensive showings came against Bowling Green and Minnesota. In both of those games, Maryland used four returning starters on the line and ran for more than 300 yards. In the Terps’ 35-14 loss to Temple, just two returning starters played. Both senior tackles, Gray and Prince, were out. It was the only time this year those two missed the same game. Canada has not disclosed the nature or severity of the players’ injuries. Apart from Gray’s appearance at Big Ten Media Days this summer, no member of the
Maryland at No. 15 Michigan Noon Saturday, ABC STORYLINE: Will the Terps’ recent success hold up against a Big Ten blue blood? Maryland (3-1) rebounded from a 35-14 loss to Temple with a 42-13 thrashing of Minnesota. Under coach Jim Harbaugh, Michigan (4-1) is 3-0 against Maryland with a point differential of 122-13. PLAYER TO WATCH: Maryland senior Ty Johnson busted an 81-yard touchdown run last week and is averaging 7.5 yards per carry for the season. (EXPRESS)
position group has been made available to speak with the media since the death of fellow lineman Jordan McNair in June. Gray played the second and fourth games of the year. Prince started the first two but hasn’t appeared in a game since. Davis made his first start of the year against Minnesota, when Maryland totaled 565 yards of offense. “The offensive line is a great strength for our team,” quarterback Kasim Hill said after the win over the Gophers. “It was great to see Derwin back out there today, the energy that he brings to the team, that he brings to the group.” EMILY GIAMBALVO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Conor McGregor, last seen losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing match in the summer of 2017, returns to his comfort zone Saturday night, coming back from a 693-day absence to try to win back his lightweight title at UFC 229 in Las Vegas (10, PPV). McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) faces Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0, 10-0) in a main event that UFC President Dana White thinks could bring more than 3 million pay-per-view buys. After open workouts Wednesday, the Irishman made a bold forecast. “Devastating KO,” predicted McGregor, who was formerly the lightweight and featherweight UFC champion before his hiatus from the sport. “Too easy to hit, too flat-footed, too predictable. I’m going to knock him clean out.” During his absence, McGregor pled guilty to a single count of disorderly conduct for throwing a metal handcart through the window of a bus that was carrying Nurmagomedov during an April night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in which the Russian fighter would go on to claim the lightweight title. Nurmagomedov indicated recently that he may use that incident to get in McGregor’s head. “With him, I’m going to talk a little bit different,” Nurmagomedov told ESPN. “Make him humble, teach him, sometimes slap him, make him tired. I’m gonna ask him, ‘Where is your bus, now? ‘ ” CINDY BOREN

‘The Hate U Give’
Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) and Ally (Lady Gaga) head-butt after a rousing number.
KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY | THE REELIST
The edge of glory: It’s the lucky stars who get to be true Jackson Maine can be pretty judgy. Which is rich, coming from him. In “A Star Is Born,” Jackson (Bradley Cooper) is a rock star, the kind that has undeniable talent and charisma but also a fondness for tequila and pills. He meets Ally No Last Name (Lady Gaga) as she’s slithering around a drag club singing “La Vie en Rose.” (Jackson stumbled in because he was stumbling drunk and therefore needed some more alcohol.) Jackson recognizes Ally’s talent, one that’s been ignored because every time she’s met with a record label, she’s been told that she doesn’t look the part of a bankable female singer. Eventually, he pulls her
onstage at one of his concerts to sing a song of hers that he’s arranged. This is the scene that you’ve seen in the trailers and all the commercials and might be getting pretty sick of. In what is a very solid movie, it’s a soaring scene. It’s beautifully shot (Cooper directed and cowrote the script), creating an intimacy that genuinely gives you goose bumps. Video of Ally’s debut immediately goes viral — an element not present in the 1976, 1954 or 1937 versions of “A Star Is Born” — and so begins her meteoric rise to fame and fortune, a path all paved with false eyelashes and glitter. When Ally starts to change how she performs, switching her hair color like her record label wants and wearing
Jon Favreau’s “Star Wars” streaming series titled “The Mandalorian”
sequins like her record label wants and using backup dancers like her record label wants, Jackson sniffs at the compromises she’s making to achieve success. Sometimes he has a point: Ally goes from writing lyrics like “I’m off the deep end/ watch as I dive in/ I’ll never meet the ground” to ones like “Why you keep on texting me like that?” Most of the time, though, he’s just showing his own ignorance about how the music business works. It’s nice that Jackson managed to make it big without sacrificing too much of his art. The thing is, he probably wasn’t ever asked to. He never had to fit into an idea of what a male superstar should be. It helps that Jackson looks like Bradley Cooper, but Jackson could be a lot uglier and still

be just as successful. Beyond that, no matter how cute Jackson is, he probably has the hair color he was born with. He probably never had any choreography rehearsals. There are probably no Spanx in his dresser drawers. Jackson sees the music world in one dimension: You’re either true to yourself or you’re not. Which is very nice for him. He’s so stuck in the mindset of “Why would she DO this?” that he can’t take a step back and ask himself, “Why WOULD she do this?” He simply can’t see that Ally’s place in the music business has a different shape than his. It’s flashier. It’s meaner. And, in all probability, it won’t last as long. “A Star Is Born” doesn’t judge Jackson for responding to Ally’s fame the way he does; his reaction to her success is complicated, to the movie’s credit. While he cycles between pride, jealously and anger, his one constant, underlying emotion is confusion as to why she’s doing things that he wouldn’t do — because he didn’t have to.

WARNER BROS.
PG-13, 132 min.
Like hurricane winds, the vortex of psychological forces buffeting Starr, the 16-year-old at the center of “The Hate U Give” (played by a remarkable Amandla Stenberg), seems violent enough to tear apart a grown man. Having witnessed the shooting death of her childhood friend, Starr is pushed and pulled in multiple directions over the course of this powerful and timely tale.

‘Free Solo’ PG-13, 100 min.
“Free Solo” follows the exploits of champion climber Alex Honnold, whose specialty is scrambling up mountains and virtually any vertical plane without benefit of equipment. It’s a film that works both as a praiseworthy historical document rich in context and visual detail, and as a gripping emotional journey full of mythical resonance. ANN HORNADAY (TWP)

A two-faced monstrosity Tom Hardy’s ‘Venom’ is a muddled mess — but it’s also kind of fun
‘Old Man & the Gun’ shows that charm is ageless
SONY PICTURES
FILM REVIEW “Venom,” starring Tom Hardy as a TV investigative journalist whose body is invaded by an alien organism, is a destabilizing mix of intentional and unintentional comedy that, for better and worse, returns the superhero movie to its natural state: camp. What makes Ruben Fleischer’s first installment in the Sony universe of Marvel characters such an oddity is that it seems perpetually unsure of just how far it wants to teeter into ridiculousness. It’s an incoherent mess of tones, acting styles and visual effects. And yet it’s kind of a hoot. Having that feeling of “What the hell is this thing?” is an underrated quality in movies — good or bad ones — and it’s even more captivating when the movie itself seems to have thrown up its hands in exasperation. It’s not every movie that tries, however awkwardly, to marry ghoulish body horror with a goofball buddy comedy that happens to take place in the same body. These are the sorts of things we did in the ’80s. Hardy plays Eddie Brock, a motorcycling San Francisco reporter who loses his lawyer fiancee (Michelle Williams, lending warmth and depth to every scene) when he steals a tip from her work email. His exposé of a powerful industrialist with maniacal aspirations
Venom, left, shares the secrets to his workout routine with a friend he bumped into at the convenience store.
for saving humanity, Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), goes up in flames, and he’s sent packing. But a whistleblower in Drake’s lab contacts Brock and brings him in to reveal what’s going on: Drake has obtained an extraterrestrial parasite — a gummy, writhing black blob — and he’s conducting human trials with it. Just as in the “Spider-Man” comics, from which Venom originates, the movie is predicated on what can go wrong in a lab. Brock proves a surprisingly good host for the alien creature, which turns out to be much more sentient than your average blob. From inside Brock, it can not only form a slimy black exoskeleton. It can also in a deep growl tell Brock, “Hungry!”
‘Venom’ (PG-13, 112 min.) DIRECTOR: Ruben Fleischer STARS: Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Jenny Slate IN A NUTSHELL: Mild-mannered journalist Eddie Brock must come to terms with his powerful but malevolent alter ego after an alien symbiote latches onto his body.
“Let’s eat his brains!” or, when in a less violent mood, dispatch relationship advice. Brock and Venom turn out to be one of the odder Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde routines. Venom plays puppeteer with Brock, who at first is mystified
at what’s happening to him. While Fleischer seems to have a darker, moodier film in mind, Hardy has the good sense to steer “Venom” in a more over-the-top direction, even if the movie can’t catch up. In a way, this is a more naked performance for Hardy, whose transformations have often been cloaked in masks (“Dunkirk,” “Mad Max,” “The Dark Knight Rises”) or more elaborate accents (“The Drop,” “Lawless”). His twitchy, spasmodic performance — bug-eyed and unevenly accented — doesn’t necessarily add up to anything in “Venom.” But it’s something to behold. Train wrecks like these aren’t supposed to be this entertaining. JAKE COYLE (AP)

“Officially wrapped on Avengers 4. … Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor.” CHRIS EVANS, tweeting about his final day of shooting on the untitled follow-up to “Avengers: Infinity War.” The actor
has previously stated that his contract is up following the film, his seventh full appearance as Captain America.

AMC renews “Lodge 49”
FILM REVIEW After announcing that “The Old Man & the Gun” would be his final acting role, Robert Redford has backtracked, and watching the film makes one grateful for the change of heart. As Forrest Tucker, Redford plays to all his still-formidable strengths: subtlety, effortless charisma and looks that, though weathered, are still irresistible. As “The Old Man & the Gun” opens, Forrest is doing what he does best: presenting himself as a sweet old guy shuffling up to a young, female bank teller and telling her to give him a satchel full of money. It’s all very quiet and civilized. In fact, he comes up with an ingenious feint that has the benefit of introducing him to Jewel (Sissy Spacek), a kindhearted ranch-woman with whom he embarks on a shy flirtation. When a detective (Casey Affleck) decides to run Forrest to the ground, what ensues is less a game of cat-andmouse than sloth-and-sea turtle. Indeed, writer-director David Lowery’s film ambles along with such unhurried, folksy ease that it’s easy to overlook the people — mostly women — Forrest leaves in his wake, victims who often look as if they will bear unseen injuries. That’s a testament to the protagonist’s manipulative skills, as well as to the disarmingly seductive gifts of the man who plays him: 60 years into a varied and vigorous career, the kid’s still a natural.

“I hate this depersonalization of the ways that people become famous, get opportunities to remain famous and get opportunities to recover from stumbles.” @LINDAHOLMES, tweeting about The Hollywood Reporter’s interview with
Jimmy Kimmel. Asked about the backlash the Comedy Cellar has received for allowing Louis C.K. to perform, Kimmel said “sanitizing” comedians would lead to a “very empty stage.” He also implied that it was audiences that had decided to let C.K. — who admitted to sexual assault last year — back onstage.

19-year-old Leena Ali’s story about a wrong-number text. Ali received a text from Dawn Burke, who was looking for her nephew Quentin to inform him of another relative’s funeral. Ali jokingly asked if she could still come, though she wasn’t Quentin. Burke said yes, and Ali showed up to the “Celebration of Life,” much to Burke’s delight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are likely to feel more energetic and focused than you have in recent days. You’ll soon be riding a wave of increased productivity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can get a great deal accomplished today even as you watch the world go by. You needn’t be directly involved to have a major impact. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your primary work may be interrupted today by something that cannot wait. Your immediate attention will avoid any further hassles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) What appears to you one way is likely to appear to another very differently — and that “other” may well prove to be a loved one.

DIFFICULT
Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

DIVORCE
Just in time for the holiday movie season?
Trolls ruin everything, case No. 437 Anna Faris deleted an Instagram post after people shamed her for looking too skinny. In the photo, which TMZ posted, the actress holds a trash can while wearing what look like nude shorts. She captioned it: “Having preshow jitters. … I eventually decided to put on pants.” According to TMZ, users left such comments as: “You look so unhealthy, eat,” and “This is alarming!” Faris deleted the photo shortly after.

Jennifer Garner wants her divorce from Ben Affleck to be finalized by the end of the year, TMZ reported Thursday. The couple have been separated since June 2015, and Garner filed for divorce in April 2017. TMZ reported that Garner has filed documents asking her case to be transferred to a private judge so it can be handled faster. Also on Thursday, Affleck shared on Instagram that he completed 40 days in rehab for treatment for alcoholism. “Battling addiction is a life-long and difficult struggle,” he wrote. TMZ reported in August that Garner did not want to finalize a custody agreement with Affleck for their three children until Affleck was sober. (EXPRESS)

‘Suge’ Knight sentenced to 28 years in prison
‘Never have I ever’ been kidnapped, Lamar says
A judge on Thursday sentenced former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight to 28 years in prison for the 2015 death of a man he ran over outside a Compton, Calif., burger stand. The sentencing ended a nearly four-year court saga over the fatal confrontation. Knight, a co-founder of Death Row Records, pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter last month. (AP)
