page three Sew Queer’s fix is in the stitch THE DISTRICT One by one, the students pulled pieces of clothing out of their bags, displaying the outfits they hoped to salvage: a green skirt. A burnt-orange floral dress. A black-striped tunic. All pocketless, all designed for beauty over utility. Then, the worst offense of all: a navy blue skirt with two front pockets. Or so it seemed. “Oh, it’s got fake pockets!” said Molly Stratton, the 33-year-old class instructor. The two apparent pockets were sewn shut. “We don’t get to carry things,” said Kristen Menichelli, 32. Five students gathered at the Lemon Collective in Petworth last week, resolved to learn how to sew in pockets themselves. The lesson was part of a series of classes called “Sew Queer,” which Stratton launched last year in the hopes of helping people in the queer community adjust their clothing to better fit their gender. Stratton, who identifies as non-binary and transmasculine, said that transgender

people frequently struggle to find clothes that fit. Men’s suits tend to run too narrow in the hips or tight in the chest for transgender men. The opposite can be true for transgender women shopping in women’s clothing sections. And sending clothes to a tailor can be prohibitively expensive. But Stratton’s class is not just about catering to the transgender or genderqueer community — it’s about giving people the tools they need to tailor their clothing to their body type and lifestyle and

not to the ideal of what a man or woman should look like. He first launched Sew Queer as a series of 10 pop-up classes, on topics including mending and tailoring jeans, many of them held in his home. The classes were so popular that he decided to offer them for a second year. Jesse Meadows, 29, carefully cut out a tear-shaped pocket from a floral fabric and pinned it to the open seam of the orange dress she had brought to class. Meadows, who identifies as nonbinary but uses both female and gender-neutral pronouns, said that she wanted to learn how to sew pockets into other clothing items, especially pants. “You get a pair of men’s jeans, and your whole hand fits in the pocket,” Meadows said. “Why? Why are they depriving us of this? It’s a big metaphor for the patriarchy. The pockets.” Stratton thinks of sewing less as a hobby and more as a survival skill. He hopes that eventually classes like his won’t be necessary — that men and women and transgender and nonbinary people will be able to find inclusive options in mainstream clothing stores.

Contractor hasn’t paid for shelter construction
8,500 ACRES OF CANNABIS
Hundreds apply to grow hemp in Va.
THE DISTRICT D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, D, last fall proudly celebrated the opening of the first new homeless family shelter, part of a network of planned facilities to replace the D.C. General megashelter. But almost a year later, local companies that built the shelter in Northwest Washington known as “The Kennedy” have been struggling to get paid. Businesses that furnished the 45-unit shelter, handled landscaping and built its heating and air-conditioning system say the general contractor on the project has refused to fully compensate them. The dispute escalated in February, when the D.C. government threatened to ban the developer, 5th Street Partners, and Moseley Construction, which oversaw subcontractors, from receiving new city contracts. At least 16 companies involved in the project started receiving checks late last week, after The Washington Post inquired about the situation, city officials said. “We were not going to sit by idly and allow these people to not be paid,” said Keith Anderson, director of the D.C. Department of General Services, the agency overseeing construction.

Local D.C. businesses say profits from work are being wiped out
The homeless shelter in Ward 4 opened in 2018 and cost $14 million to build.
Some businesses say disputes are resolved and damage to their livelihoods cannot be undone. Hugee Corporation, which installed heating and cooling systems, was able to secure $170,000 from the project’s bonding company, an entity that can resolve payment disputes, but is still fighting for another $80,000. Perry Hugee, the company’s president, said any profit from working on the shelter would be wiped out by the costs of borrowing money and paying interest to suppliers while waiting. “How many minority contractors can stay alive after being owed all that money?” said Hugee. “I would have been better off
telling them, ‘No, thank you,’ and writing a check for $30,000 and giving it to the homeless shelter.” D.C. awarded the contract to manage the $14 million Ward 4 homeless shelter project to 5th Street Partners, which in turn hired Moseley Construction to enlist other subcontractors. D.C. Council member Robert White Jr., D-At Large, said it’s important for the city to step in on behalf of subcontractors. “Delayed payment or lack of payment can literally shut down a business,” said White. “Most of the subcontractors are local businesses and we have an obligation to go to bat for them.” FENIT NIRAPPIL
More than 800 people in Virginia have registered since March 1 with the state’s agricultural department to grow hemp, according to a report in The Roanoke Times. The 2018 farm bill legalized nationwide the practice of growing hemp, which is related to marijuana but has little or no THC and doesn’t produce a high. Virginia began conforming with federal law in March. If farmers follow through with plans they have reported already, Virginia could have more than 8,500 acres of hemp this growing season, according to the Roanoke Times report. (EXPRESS)

Rosselló’s office denies resignation Governor’s spokesman: Puerto Rican leader is ‘listening to the people’ SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO More than 100 protesters gathered around the Puerto Rico governor’s mansion Wednesday in a renewed push to oust Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, while his spokesman stressed that he has not resigned. In response to local media reports that Rosselló was on the verge of leaving Puerto Rico, Public Affairs Secretary Anthony Maceira said the governor “has not resigned and remains in Puerto Rico. As he said yesterday, he’s in a process of reflecting, and listening to the people.” A little before 7 p.m. Wednesday, Maceira said the governor was working on a message that he would present to the public later Wednesday night. Hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans have been outraged by leaked, obscenity-laced online chats between Rosselló and his advisers, and have protested for nearly two weeks demanding his resignation. On Tuesday, officials announced that a Puerto Rican judge had issued search warrants

for the cellphones of government officials involved in the chat as part of an ongoing investigation. One of the Rosselló search warrants said officials used the chat to transmit official and confidential information to private citizens in potential violation of ethics laws. More than a dozen government officials have resigned since the leak earlier this month. A report issued Wednesday by a special committee tasked with investigating whether legislators could proceed with an impeachment process against Rosselló recommended that Puerto Rico’s House of Representatives do so.

Record-setting heat spell roasts Western Europe WEATHER A historic heat wave is bringing unprecedented temperatures to Western Europe, and is poised to expand northeastward to Scandinavia and into the Arctic by late this weekend. Once above the Arctic Circle, the weather system responsible for this heat wave could accelerate the loss of sea ice, which is already running at a record low for this time of year. Already, residents of Paris, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Munich, Zurich and other locations are suffering through dangerously high temperatures. On Wednesday, all-time national heat records in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany had fallen, right on the heels of a late June heat wave that broke similar records in France and other countries. The German meteorological agency noted that Wednesday’s national record of 104.9 degrees might last just a day before being broken today. It’s difficult to beat all-time heat records in mid-July, considering this is the hottest time of year. It’s even more unusual to beat such records by a large margin, which is what is occurring now. The weather is also aggravating droughts since it hasn’t rained much in many parts of Europe this summer. The combination of heat, wind and possible lightning from thunderstorms also increases the risk of wildfires. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO
PAUL J. WIEDEFELD Last week marked the halfway point for this summer’s Platform Improvement Project. When we conduct critical repair projects at Metro, we’re always looking for opportunities to accomplish as much work as possible while the stations are closed. For example, during this summer’s shutdown, we’re doing more than just reconstructing the platforms. In addition to fixing structural and safety issues with the platforms, we’re also getting out on the tracks to renew our infrastructure and renovating the stations with new customer experience improvements. Once completed, there will be more than just new concrete under your feet. We’re also adding features to improve safety, customer information and convenience while modernizing the stations.
Improvements coming to six Blue and Yellow Line stations Improved lighting New LED lighting to increase brightness and reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs LED-illuminated stair handrails
Upgraded platform shelters New stainless-steel platform shelters 55-inch digital displays replace static maps and have the capability to display service alerts and emergency information USB charging ports
Slip-resistant tile New tiles throughout the station, on platforms and inside mezzanines The tiles are produced through a process called wire-cutting, which provides better traction in wet conditions
New Passenger Information Displays (PIDS) 55-inch digital screens Train arrival times will always be visible and service alerts will scroll along the bottom Twice as many screens on each platform

Johnson promises U.K. ‘a better deal’ on Brexit
MADE-FOR-TV MYSTERY
Explorer sets new goal: Find Amelia’s plane
LONDON Boris Johnson took over as Britain’s prime minister Wednesday, vowing to break the impasse that defeated his predecessor by leading the country out of the European Union and silencing “the doubters, the doomsters, the gloomsters” who believe it can’t be done. But the brash Brexit champion faces the same problems that flummoxed Theresa May during her three years in office: heading a government without a parliamentary majority and with most lawmakers opposed to leaving the EU without a divorce deal. Johnson has just 99 days to make good on his promise to deliver Brexit by Oct. 31 after what he called “three years of unfounded self-doubt.” He optimistically pledged to get “a new deal, a better deal” with the EU than the one secured by May, which was repeatedly rejected by Britain’s Parliament. “The people who bet against Britain are going to lose their shirts,” he said, standing outside 10 Downing St. Johnson swept out many of May’s ministers to make way for his own team, dominated by loyal Brexiteers. He appointed Sajid Javid to the key role of Treasury chief, named staunch Brexit

supporter Dominic Raab as foreign secretary and made Priti Patel the new home secretary, or interior minister. Michael Gove, who ran the 2016 campaign to leave the EU alongside Johnson, also got a Cabinet job. In his first speech as prime minister, Johnson unleashed a scattershot spray of promises — from more police on the streets to ending a ban on genetically modified crops to faster internet. He vowed to keep relations with the EU “as warm and as close and as affectionate as possible” and promised the 3 million EU nationals in Britain “absolute certainty” that they can stay. In the next breath, Johnson
said Britain might be forced to leave with no deal if “Brussels refuses any further to negotiate” — trying to pin the blame for any future failure on the bloc. That’s not an approach likely to win the confidence of EU leaders. The EU is adamant it will not renegotiate the agreement struck with May on the terms of Britain’s departure and the framework of future relations. Without it, Britain faces a chaotic Brexit that economists warn would disrupt trade by imposing tariffs and customs checks between Britain and the bloc, send the value of the pound plummeting and plunge the U.K. into recession.

U.S. citizen free after being held weeks at border IMMIGRATION A U.S.-born 18-year-old has been released from immigration custody after wrongfully being detained for more than three weeks. Francisco Erwin Galicia left a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Pearsall, Texas, on Tuesday. His lawyer, Claudia Galan, confirmed he had been released, less than a day after The Dallas Morning News reported about his detention. Galicia lives in the border city of Edinburg, Texas, and was traveling north with a group of friends when they were stopped at a Border Patrol inland checkpoint. According to Galan and the Morning News, agents apprehended Galicia on suspicion that he was in the U.S. illegally even though he had a Texas state ID. Galicia was detained for three weeks by the Border Patrol, then transferred to an ICE center. ICE and Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol, jointly issued a statement Wednesday accusing Galicia of having provided “conflicting reports regarding status of citizenship” while detained, without providing specifics. Galan said Galicia’s mother had incorrectly applied for a tourist visa for him that suggested he was born in Mexico. “I’m so thankful Francisco is free and he can sleep at home tonight and see his mom,” Galan said.

nation+world Company also submits to federal oversight after privacy violations TECHNOLOGY The U.S. government on Wednesday issued an unprecedented rebuke of Facebook — and fined the company $5 billion — after a year of massive privacy mishaps, charging that the tech giant deceived its users and “undermined” choices they made to protect their data. The settlement with the government requires that Facebook submit to significant federal oversight of its business practices. Sixteen months after opening its investigation, the Federal Trade Commission alleged that
Facebook had repeatedly misled its 2.2 billion users. The agency argued that the social networking company was not upfront about the ways app developers, advertisers and others gained access to users’ personal data — from the content they “liked” to the phone numbers they stored — in a breach of Facebook’s previous promise to improve its privacy protections online. As a result, the settlement between the FTC and Facebook includes the largest fine in U.S. history for a privacy violation, and grants federal regulators unparalleled access to Facebook’s business decisions for the next two decades — allowing regulators to scrutinize the actions of Facebook’s leaders, including

No exoneration, Mueller says POLITICS Robert Mueller, the taciturn lawman at the center of a polarizing American drama, bluntly dismissed President Trump’s claims of “total exoneration” Wednesday in the federal probe of Russia’s 2016 election interference. In a long day of congressional testimony, Mueller warned that Moscow’s actions represented — and still represent — a great threat to American democracy. The former special counsel’s back-to-back Capitol Hill appearances, his first since wrapping his two-year Russia probe, were more likely to reinforce rather than reshape hardened public opinions on impeachment and the future of Trump’s presidency. With his terse, one-word answers, and a sometimes stilted manner, Mueller made clear his desire to avoid the partisan fray and the deep political divisions roiling Congress and the country. He delivered neither crisp TV sound bites to fuel a Democratic impeachment push nor comfort to Republicans striving to undermine his investigation’s credibility. But he sounded the alarm on future Russian election

And he said of the interference by Russians and others: “They are doing it while we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign.” His report, he said, should live on after him and his team. “We spent substantial time
assuring the integrity of the report, understanding that it would be our living message to those who come after us,” Mueller said. “But it also is a signal, a flag to those of us who have some responsibility in this area to exercise those responsibilities swiftly and don’t let this problem continue to linger as it has over so many years.” Mueller was unflinching on the most critical matters. In the opening minutes of the Judiciary
“Those are the facts of the Mueller report. Russia meddled in the 2016 election. The president did not conspire with Russians. Nothing we hear today will change those facts.”

“Funny, Mueller can’t understand the Republicans but he can totally understand the Democrats questions. This is a disaster for dems.”
“This morning’s testimony exposed the troubling deficiencies of the Special Counsel’s investigation. The American people understand that … the case is closed.”

Committee hearing, Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, asked about Trump’s multiple claims of vindication by the investigation. “Did you actually totally exonerate the president?” Nadler asked. “No,” Mueller replied. When Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democratic chairman of the House intelligence committee, asked, “Your investigation is not a witch hunt, is it?”
“It is not a witch hunt,” Mueller flatly replied. Mueller mostly brushed aside Republican allegations of bias, but in a moment of apparent agitation, he said he didn’t think lawmakers had ever “reviewed a report that is as thorough, as fair, as consistent as the report that we have in front of us.” He gave Democrats a flicker of hope when he told Rep. Ted Lieu of California that he did not charge Trump because of a Justice Department legal opinion that says sitting presidents cannot be indicted. That statement cheered Democrats who understood him to be suggesting he might otherwise have recommended prosecution on the strength of the evidence. But Mueller later walked back that statement, saying: “We did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.” His team, he said, “never started the process” of evaluating whether to charge Trump. Trump, claiming vindication despite the renewal of serious allegations, focused on his own political fortunes. “This was a devastating day for the Democrats,” he said. “The Democrats had nothing and now they have less than nothing.” ERIC TU CKER, M A RY CL A RE JA LO NICK AND MICHAEL BALSAMO (AP)

House Judiciary Committee
Key takeaways from hearings Former special counsel Robert Mueller, at long last, testified before Congress about his investigation into Russian interference and President Trump’s conduct related to it. Mueller appeared before the House Judiciary Committee in the morning and the House Intelligence Committee in the afternoon. Here’s what we learned from the two sessions. AARON BLAKE (THE WASHINGTON POST) Mueller struggled If Democrats hoped this would be a seminal moment, they will leave sorely disappointed — in large part because their star witness was no star. Mueller spoke haltingly, seemed not to remember key details and tripped over himself even when members weren’t trying to trip him up. The ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Doug Collins, asked him whether “collusion” was colloquially the same as “conspiracy.” “No,” Mueller said. Collins then pointed to Mueller’s report, which states that certain legal dictionaries do regard the terms as “largely synonymous.”
Democrats didn’t make much progress
Mueller did push back against Trump
Testimony may slow impeachment push
Mueller contradicts Trump on the FBI job
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., had Trump opponents excited when he asked: “The reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of OLC opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?” Mueller answered: “That is correct.” Some felt Mueller had made big news, arguing Mueller was saying Trump would have been indicted if not for that policy. But at the start of the second hearing, Mueller offered a correction: He was simply saying they made no conclusion because of Justice Department policy — not that he would have charged Trump otherwise.
Democrats did get a couple big sound bites from the second hearing. “The Trump campaign officials built their strategy, their messaging strategy, around those stolen documents?” Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., asked. Mueller responded: “Generally, that’s true.” “And then they lied to cover it up?” Schiff asked. Mueller again responded: “Generally, that’s true.” In another response to Schiff about Trump’s characterization of his investigation, Mueller told Schiff, “It is not a witch hunt.”
The hearings were likely counterproductive when it comes to Democrats’ efforts to beat Trump in 2020, and they also would seem to help House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to hold off her fellow Democrats’ impeachment fervor. Some House Democrats recently forced a vote on this topic, even as Pelosi has argued that it’s a bad idea. Her party was split, but most members voted against opening impeachment proceedings. Mueller declined to broach the topic of impeachment when asked about the options Congress had.
Trump has argued that Mueller was conflicted, in part, because he interviewed at the White House for the job of FBI director shortly before becoming special counsel. Before the hearing, reports indicated that Mueller disputed this claim, and Trump took to Twitter to challenge Mueller to testify under oath on it. Mueller did just that, twice. He stated that he visited the White House about the job search, but “not as a candidate.” He later reiterated that the meeting “was about the job but not about me applying for the job.”
“Your report laid out multiple offers of Russian help to the Trump campaign, the campaign’s acceptance of that help, and overt acts in furtherance of Russian help.”
“There’s substantial evidence that [Trump] obstructed justice. It’s clear that anyone else would be facing criminal prosecution. The [report] does NOT exonerate the president.”
“Today we heard directly from the special counsel that Trump’s claims of ‘total exoneration’ are wrong. … I believe that Congress should begin impeachment proceedings.”
“[Americans] now realize more fully the crimes that were committed against our Constitution. … It is a crossing of a threshold in … public awareness of what happened.”
Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, saying in opening statements that to most, “that is the very definition of collusion”

A seven-hour TV drama with little action MEDIA Robert Mueller’s report on Russian involvement in the 2016 election may have made for a gripping book, but his long-awaited testimony before Congress on Wednesday did not come alive as a television show. Mueller’s appearance wasn’t news-free, and careful exchanges with committee chairmen Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff provided sound bites that Democrats were seeking. Yet there were many stretches where Mueller declined to engage, and the phrases “let me refer you to the report” and “that’s beyond my purview” were commonplace. CBS’ Norah O’Donnell said the network counted 110 one-word answers by halftime of the testimony. Mueller, who turns 75 in two weeks, occasionally appeared hard of hearing and befuddled, leading some commentators to openly wonder if age had cost him a step. “If the Democrats wanted America to see this as a movie, here we are at the end of this ... wondering how many people actually stuck around to watch the finale,” ABC’s Cecilia Vega said. TV ratings aren’t expected until today. Broadcast and cable news networks all set aside regular schedules to carry the hearings, which lasted seven hours, including breaks. “On substance, Democrats got what they wanted,” NBC’s Chuck Todd said. “… On optics, this was a disaster.” DAVID BAUDER (AP)

REDSKINS TRAINING CAMP
Dwayne Haskins
Quarterback Dwayne Haskins became the Redskins’ QB of the future in April as a 15th overall draft pick. But is the future now? The team traded for Case Keenum as a bridge option with Alex Smith out all season and Colt McCoy still rehabbing a broken leg. Keenum led the Vikings to a 13-3 record in 2017 after Sam Bradford was hurt, but that team had a strong running game and one of the league’s best defenses. He threw for 3,890 yards and 18 touchdowns last season with Denver, but had 15 interceptions. Haskins is the most physically blessed quarterback on the roster, but he must master the team’s offensive scheme. Meanwhile, McCoy has the most experience in coach Jay Gruden’s system.

Every throw will be monitored, every decision dissected and every dropback detailed. Welcome to Redskins training camp, with a full-blown quarterback competition among two veterans and a rookie first-round pick. It will be one of the most-watched position battles in the NFL this summer, but it’s not the only one to be decided at training camp in Richmond. Here are the positions to watch when practice begins today. KAREEM COPELAND (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Trey Quinn
Adrian Peterson
Derrius Guice
Running back The Redskins are expected to use both future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson, 34, and 2018 second-round pick Derrius Guice in their No. 1 role. Running backs coach Randy Jordan said he anticipated a 60-40 split one way or the other. Last season, Peterson proved that Father Time hadn’t caught up to him, carrying the load for 16 games and surpassing 1,000 yards for the first time since 2015. It’s likely he’ll be named the starter. Guice was expected to be the lead back before tearing his ACL in the first preseason game of 2018. With both players — along with receiving back Chris Thompson — expected to see sizable workloads, it will be interesting to see how the distribution of carries shakes out.
Terry McLaurin
Ryan Anderson
Montez Sweat
Left guard
Slot receiver
Outside linebacker
Shawn Lauvao’s injury-plagued time in Washington is over, leaving left guard open for a newcomer. The team traded for tackle Ereck Flowers, the No. 9 pick in the 2015 draft, with the intention of moving him to guard. Offensive line coach Bill Callahan likes his combination of size (6-foot-6, 330 pounds) and strength, and he cited Ty Nsekhe as a recent example of a tackle benefiting from moving inside. Flowers’ top competition is fourth-round pick Wes Martin, who is known for his strength but has a lot to learn about the mental aspects of the game. Fifth-round pick Ross Pierschbacher and veteran Tony Bergstrom will also attempt to win the job.
Jamison Crowder signed a $28.5 million deal with the Jets, and the Redskins did not address the slot receiver position in free agency. That leaves Trey Quinn, the last pick of the 2018 draft, as the heir apparent. He is a strong route runner with good hands, but uncertainty comes from the fact that Quinn played just three games as a rookie because of ankle injuries. Thirdround draft pick Terry McLaurin is expected to be Quinn’s main competition, and he has the ability to play both the inside slot position or on the outside. And he already has a strong connection with Dwayne Haskins — the two played college football together at Ohio State.
Most of the starting spots on defense are settled. One exception is inside linebacker in the wake of Mason Foster’s surprise release Tuesday. And Preston Smith’s departure to Green Bay left the starting edge rusher position open. Ryan Anderson was drafted in the second round in 2017 as insurance for potentially losing Smith, but he hasn’t shown he can handle the starting job, recording just 33 tackles and two sacks over two seasons. The Redskins traded back into the first round in April to take Montez Sweat out of Mississippi State. Coaches and teammates raved about his size (6-6, 262 pounds), quickness and athletic ability during summer workouts.

Andy Murray’s departure from the 2018 Citi Open was emotional, featuring a match that ended at 3 a.m. with tears and a withdrawal from the tournament because of fatigue. This year, the three-time Grand Slam champion hopes to make happier memories in D.C. Murray will continue his comeback from a career-threatening hip injury next week at the Citi Open, playing doubles alongside his brother Jamie, who won last year’s doubles title in D.C. with Bruno Soares. The Citi Open begins Monday and runs through Aug. 4 at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center. Murray, 32, has played three doubles events on grass since his surgery, which followed a first-round exit in the singles draw at the Australian Open and talk of early retirement. AVA WALLACE (TWP)

Artist Maggie O’Neill reimagines the classic game as interactive art ETC … Union Market’s rooftop is now home to the Washington Kastles’ shiny new tennis stadium. But on Sunday, you won’t find a match there — instead, the court will turn into a gigantic bingo card where a critical piece to winning the game could be you. In “Let’s Play,” the first interactive exhibition by D.C. artist
Maggie O’Neill, bingo is reimagined in part as a team effort. In each of the game’s three rounds, 75 participating players — chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis — will act as human game pieces, moving to their corresponding square on a life-sized bingo board when their letter and number is called by an emcee. At the same time, spectators will be playing along on normal bingo cards. The first person to get a “bingo,” or the first group of human game pieces to line up five in a row, wins that round.

On the sidelines, guests can view roughly 30 of those pieces, which include O’Neill’s bright illustrations of ice cream cones, roller skates and other symbols meant to evoke the spirit of summer painted on real bingo card sheets. All the pieces are for sale, and a portion of the proceeds benefit Children’s National, where O’Neill spent time last winter playing bingo with hospital patients. “Bingo seems to be the universal game that every age can play together,” she says. “There is something very beautiful about that.” STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS) Union Market, 1309 Fifth St. NE; Sun., 6-9 p.m., free.

He found a home in Fruit Bats An adult approach
Eric D. Johnson mines nostalgia on his band’s ‘Gold Past Life’ album
ANNIE BEEDY
MUSIC Growing up, Fruit Bats singer/ guitarist Eric D. Johnson didn’t have a place that felt like home. His family moved around a lot — about 13 times before he turned 18, he says — so he’s always had a weird sense of nostalgia. “I’ve never had a home to go back to — ever,” says Johnson, now 43. “As a kid, I was very nostalgic all the time. Even when I was 5, I’d be like, ‘Remember that old house?’ And it was like the house I lived in the year before or something — you’re always just sort of thinking of these places. Everything becomes history quickly.” When Johnson, who lives in Los Angeles, started to write his seventh album of indie Americana songs as Fruit Bats (for which he is the only constant member), that sense of nostalgia and home — or lack thereof — entered his mind. “I set out to write a record about a sense of place. That was even one of the working titles of the album: ‘Sense of Place,’ ” Johnson says of June’s “Gold Past Life.” “The nostalgia thing took me by surprise. And I didn’t
In between Fruit Bats albums, Eric D. Johnson took on several projects, notably starting a new folk band, Bonny Light Horseman. The group, which will release an album and tour in the next year or so, features one of his old friends, guitarist Josh Kaufman, and a new friend, singer Anaïs Mitchell, the playwright and lyricist behind this year’s Tonywinning musical “Hadestown.” “It’s traditional music through a very modern lens,” Johnson says. “I haven’t started a band since 1996, so it’s kind of cool starting a band that’s like so developed. We don’t have to go through the punk rock ringer like I did. It’s weird being a grown-up and starting a band with grown-ups.” R.G.
Fruit Bats leader Eric D. Johnson reckons with his past on “Gold Past Life.”
really realize that it was such an undercurrent until I wrote it.” It’s also a complicated sense of nostalgia. The title track, for which Johnson sings in falsetto
over a Supertramp-esque groove, is about how we idealize the past over the present. “You know you’re never gonna feel as right/ Than in your gold past life,” he
sings in the chorus. “That’s sort of what a lot of these songs are about: It’s nostalgia, but, in a way, it’s about reckoning with the past,” says Johnson, who brings Fruit Bats to Union Stage on Friday. A former touring member of The Shins and a self-described “middle-class musician” with a few minor hits (“When U Love Somebody” and “Humbug Mountain Song”) to his name, Johnson understands how lucky he is to
still have a career in music. A few years ago, he almost lost it. In 2014, Johnson dropped the Fruit Bats name and started recording under his initials, EDJ. He released a self-titled album and toured solo with a loop pedal, but fans stopped showing up. “In a lot of ways it may have been a rash decision,” he admits. “It was just a dumb move and my mistake.” Johnson lost his booking agent and couldn’t really tour. “Things were pretty bleak. It was definitely a low point in my career.” Then he caught a break: My Morning Jacket offered him an opening slot on tour in 2015, and he saw it as an opportunity to reboot the Fruit Bats name. He made new fans through those gigs, released the rootsy album “Absolute Loser” in 2016 and the old fans started coming back. It was almost as if, after a few years of moving around, Johnson had finally come home. “I’ve never had the huge crazy thing happen … yet,” Johnson says. “But I’ve been good at sort of manifesting the minor victories, which I think is sometimes the best thing.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Murders from Baltimore’s past inspired Laura Lippman’s novel ‘Lady in the Lake’ BOOKS In 1969, an 11-year-old white Jewish girl was murdered in Baltimore, and the case was quickly solved. Laura Lippman, who’s lived in the city most of her life, was 10 years old then and recalls reading about the murder in the daily newspaper. “But it wasn’t until the ’90s, when I was working at The Baltimore Sun, that I heard about the death of Shirley Parker — a black woman whose body was found in the fountain at Druid Hill Park,” also in 1969, she says. “Of course, part of the reason I never heard about it was that it received very little coverage in the daily newspapers. And I thought, that is so interesting.” In her new novel “Lady in the Lake,” set in 1966, Lippman — the best-selling author of more than two dozen books — draws upon both events to illustrate the racism, classism and sexism that plagued Baltimore 50 years ago. Readers are introduced to Maddie Schwartz, a 37-year-old Jewish housewife who abruptly leaves her husband and teenage son to pursue long-stifled ambitions. After discovering the body of Tessie Fine, an 11-year-old white girl who had gone missing, Maddie doggedly chases a reporting job at The Star, an afternoon newspaper. She becomes obsessed with Cleo Sherwood, a missing African American woman whose body was discovered in the fountain of a city park — and who is of little interest to anyone outside her immediate family. Much like with Parker’s death, which remains
unsolved to this day, there are no leads on Sherwood’s death for the majority of the story. Though Maddie’s quest to discover what happened might appear altruistic, she’s motivated by her own selfish ambitions and desire to succeed at the newspaper. “The mistake that this woman, Maddie, makes is that being interested in someone’s death is not the same thing as being interested in their life,” says Lippman, 60, who will discuss the novel at Politics and Prose on Thursday. “As much as in some ways I identify with Maddie, I would say Maddie is the person I fear becoming — the person who’s only interested in the story she wants to tell and sometimes forgets about the humanity of the people around her, because she’s so focused on her life and herself.” “Lady in the Lake” alternates between Maddie’s perspective, narration by Cleo’s ghost and first-person vignettes from nearly 20 people on the periphery of Maddie’s life: a Baltimore Orioles star, a patrol cop, a nononsense female reporter. Each helps capture Maddie’s shortsightedness, and how much she’s oblivious to as she attempts to solve Cleo’s murder. “Even with all these people, I didn’t begin to scratch the surface of the many, many ways one could be a Baltimorean in 1966,” Lippman says. “Across racial identities, age, gender, sexual orientation, I still feel like I missed so much — but I didn’t miss as much as Maddie did.”
Lippman doesn’t trust herself to write accurately about the historical eras she experienced as an adult, let alone as a small child, so she immersed herself in the ’60s through significant research. She exchanged emails, for example, with one of her late father’s newspaper colleagues to get a sense of what it was like to be a reporter in that decade. (Lippman, who spent 12 years reporting at The Baltimore Sun, got her first newsroom job in 1981.) And she turned to advertisements from the ’60s to understand the rhythm of the culture at the time — “because advertising tells us what we were yearning for,” she says. She asked a Baltimore library to pull copies of Time and Vogue magazines from 1966, and she read hundreds of old newspaper stories
on microfilm. She also studied the TV listings and watched then-favorites like “Supermarket Sweep” on YouTube. Lippman is a Baltimorean through and through: She lives in South Baltimore, where her son attends public school; her husband, David Simon, created the HBO show “The Wire,” which is set in the Maryland city. But 50 years later, the real-life problems that rippled through Baltimore in “Lady in the Lake” aren’t exactly irrelevant. “The city is a mixed bag. I love it — it’s my home — but it’s a city that’s really struggling right now,” she says. “I think part of the reason I wrote a book about Baltimore’s past is because it was more knowable to me than Baltimore’s present.” ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS)

Jazz and modern art — what a brainy, highbr ow c o mbi n a t i o n . Yo u wouldn’t think these two subjects would draw great masses of people, and yet, they do. The Jazz in the Garden concert series at the National Gallery of Art is a D.C. summer tradition, one that brings great numbers of people to the comely art park’s sculpture garden on summer Friday evenings from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Or so I’ve heard. I attended once during the event’s inaugural year and never went back until this month. Nothing terrible happened back in 2001. I didn’t lose an eye to an errant clarinet or drop my cellphone in a pitcher of sangria. But it wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience either. My colleagues dispatched an intern to save us a spot at 4 p.m., but even with that advanced planning, we ended up crammed between a hedge and the Paris Metro sculpture, sitting knee to knee with every other young professional in the greater D.C. area. The line for food and drinks wrapped around the small pavilion cafe until it merged with the bathroom line, creating a spiral of discontent where no one ended up where they wanted to be. It seemed like an event that was a victim of its own success. There was, however, an
upside to the anarchy: You could bring your own booze. Not officially, but it was easy and everyone did it, since procuring a pitcher of NGAsanctioned sangria was all but impossible, due to the aforementioned line. One scofflaw I knew brought a bottle of champagne, and hit an innocent security guard in the shoulder with the cork. Luckily for us, he didn’t bother trying to trace the projectile back to its source. I returned to the sculpture garden two weeks ago, and let me tell you, things have changed. This became immediately apparent when a security guard at the gate searched my bag for contraband liquor. I didn’t have any, and, luckily, I didn’t need it, as a kind stranger offered to share his sangria pitcher with me. (It cost him $19.50 and it was good, if a little sweet.) Even if you aren’t as charming as me, getting drinks is easy. There are free-standing bars all over the place. Food is equally easy to come by, and delicious! I stood in line for only 10 minutes before being served a savory teriyaki veggie burger on brioche with pineapple chutney ($9). The music was … fine. That night’s band, Elikeh, played what seemed to be the same song for the better part of an hour. I might not have noticed

if it weren’t for the repetitive lyrics, which mostly consisted of directions like: “Shake it to the right, now shake it to the left.” Despite the explicit instructions, the crowd pointedly refused to shimmy. This is D.C., after all. Anything more energetic than a head nod is considered unruly. Halfway through the concert, a man in a pink dashiki took the stage and pointed out the extra restrooms in the southwest portion of the garden and encouraged everyone to stay hydrated. “If you aren’t feeling well, there’s a nurse on Madison Drive who can help you find your way to better health today,” he said. The Jazz in the Garden organizers have clearly thought of everything and made some major improvements since 2001. Best of all, it wasn’t nearly as crowded as I remembered. Even at peak
Pro tip: Sit near a tall sculpture so your friends can find you. attendance, there were plenty of spots available for picnicking as well as seats by the fountain. In fact, the relatively sparse attendance seemed to concern the dashiki-clad man. “Are you having fun?” he asked. “Tell your friends. Tweet them. Snapchat them. “Do whatever you have to do to get them here.” Perhaps he should have encouraged the crowd to reach out to art and music aficionados, as those groups seemed underrepresented. A small cluster of people did golfclap when it appeared a band member had finished a solo, but I didn’t catch anyone touring the art. Instead, people
simply used the sculptures as landmarks. “We’re next to the pointy red one,” a young woman yelled into her phone, a description of Alexander Calder’s “Cheval Rouge” that the artist might not have appreciated. If only she’d read the NGA pamphlet, she could have said something like, “We’re next to the abstracted equestrian figure that evokes a friendly resonance with natural forms.” While the Jazz in the Garden experience has gotten more pleasant over its 18-year history, one thing has remained largely the same: People don’t go for the culture. They go to revel in the joy of being alive on a fine summer evening, at the end of the workweek, in a city so rich with art and music, we give it away for free.

Beer, from here
Experts share their favorite local brews for summer days To help jazz up your summer beer game, The Washington Post turned to an all-star cross section of the local craft beer community — brewers, bartenders, retailers — to find out what’s in their fridges and coolers right now and what you should bring to the next cookout. They were given a few restrictions: Beers had to be canned, from a brewery within an easy drive of Washington and “readily available,” meaning they could be found in local beer shops or at the brewery, and not a one-day-only release. FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Pool beers for a hot day 3 Stars Brewing’s Low Hanging Fruit with strawberries fits the bill for Red Bear Brewing Co. brewer Simon Bee. “It’s a refreshing, lovely fruited sour that has lots of fruit flavor and just the right amount of pucker,” he says.
BILL O’LEARY PHOTOS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
“I am loving [Ardent Craft Ales’] Ardent Pilsner in the heat right now,” says Greg Engert, beer director for the Neighborhood Restaurant Group. “Clean, crisp and soft on the palate, this beer is smooth and crushable.” “DC Brau’s Brau Pils is delicious and exactly what I want in this style,” Denizens Brewing Co. co-founder Julie Verratti says. “It hits that slight bite in the finish perfectly, which makes me want to take that next sip.” Union’s Old Pro Gose works poolside for Brian Leonard, owner of the bars Free State and Lost & Found. “It’s light and refreshing on a hot day, with just enough tart zippiness to let you know you’re having a drink,” he says. Crooked Run’s Coast Pilsner is cool with Julie Drews, co-owner of The Brew Shop: “A touch of fruitiness from the New Zealand hops plays perfectly with the crisp and lightly bready base, making it great for a hot day.”

Lighter versions of often heavier styles
Beers to share at a cookout with friends
“I’m always down for Sun’s Out Hops Out from Solace,” says B Side bar general manager Aislin Kavaldjian. “This is the quintessential crushable IPA for me, with not too much sweetness or viscosity. It’s purebred crispy deliciousness, through and through.”
Raised by Wolves from D.C.’s Right Proper Brewing Company gets the job done for Mari Rodela, president of the DC Brewers’ Guild. “Cookout beers have a lot of heavy lifting to do,” Rodela says. “Not only do they have to stand up to greasy burgers, but they also need to pair well with bright grilled vegetables and slaws.”
“I’m a ‘drink what you want when you want’ guy, so personally I tend to just go by mood rather than weather,” says Nick Anderson, Arrowine’s beer buyer. “There’s been a run of lower ABV IPAs that I’ve been digging lately, specifically DC Brau’s Joint Resolution and Reason’s Collaboration 29, both of which are 5.5%.” “Union Blackwing black lager offers the dark malts of a stout porter with the light body of a lager,” says Jeremy Carman, co-owner of The Salt Line restaurant. “Oysters and stouts have been a traditional pairing that I never really understood, but I love the crisp, clean, carbonated malty notes that Blackwing offers.” “Old Ox Black Ox rye porter is a year-round beer for me,” Drews says. “At 6% ABV, it’s by no means heavy but still has all the robust flavors you want in your porter: roast, chocolate, balanced bitterness. You’ve also got the addition of rye, which dries out the finish in a nice way and helps keep it feeling light.” “DC Brau’s Penn Quarter Porter is a beer I’ve always really enjoyed in the summer,” says Jace Gonnerman, beverage director at Meridian Pint, Smoke & Barrel and Brookland Pint. “It’s only 5.5% but packed with notes of dark chocolate and espresso. Very light on its feet and surprisingly dry on the finish. Never had an issue enjoying one, regardless of the temperature.”
“Port City markets Optimal Wit as ‘sunshine and happiness,’ and I have to agree,” says Craft Beer Cellar owner Erika Goedrich. “It’s sunshine in a glass, and I can’t help but smile when drinking it. It’s a crowdpleaser, which is good when going to a cookout with diverse palates, and it pairs well with many foods.” Crooked Run Brewing’s Heart and Soul IPA is a top choice for Drew Wiles, brewer and co-founder of Solace Brewing Co.: “Only 6.5% ABV with low to moderate bitterness. … Their core IPA will always be one of my favorites to drink and share with friends at a cookout.” “Diamondback Green Machine is a just-aboutperfect hazy IPA for summer: bright, citric, super juicy and lightly bitter,” says Engert. “I love it on its own, with a pile of steamed crabs or paired with just about any veggie that hits the grill.” “I really enjoy Manor Hill’s Grisette,” says Verratti. “It’s light, refreshing and low-alcohol, so I can have more than one and still man the grill without accidentally lighting anything on fire.” Guinness Open Gate Brewery head brewer Hollie Stephenson’s go-to is Monument City Rye 51. It’s “consistently delicious and appeals to both my malty and hoppy sides,” she says.
This is the curious craft beer lover’s best bet in D.C.: Any of the hundreds of cans and bottles lining the walls can be purchased as a single. Craft Beer Cellar usually stocks cans from the region’s top breweries, including just-released IPAs and sours, and also is the place to find limited-edition selections from national breweries, both in bottles and in crowlers.
The Brew Shop 2004 Wilson Blvd., Arlington
Founded by two home-brewers, this Court House store stocks supplies for those who make beer as well as those who just want to drink the stuff. The shop is particularly strong on smaller Virginia breweries like Väsen, Ardent, Solace and Crooked Run. A nice selection of taps is used for filling growlers and weekly tastings.
Downtown Crown Wine and Beer 303 Copley Place, Gaithersburg, Md.
This shop is best known for its “drops” — random allotments of craft beer cans that are rarely found outside a brewery. This year, Downtown Crown has welcomed special releases from New York’s Other Half and Maryland’s RAR and Burley Oak. The store also regularly stocks cans (and drafts) from Maryland breweries.

The new taps on the block
Aslin, one of Virginia’s most renowned breweries, is finally open in Alexandria
What’s it like? The taproom is a simple warehouse box with white walls, concrete floors and ceilings open to two stories. Enormous windows on the back wall offer views of the tanks and brewing equipment. Instead of the usual industrial decor, Aslin has a mix of styles: The Scandinavianmodern beer garden tables and cool glowing circular light fixtures contrast with the flickering colored lights of numerous flatscreen TVs and noise from video games. The robot mascot from the old brewery has moved over, too, sitting near the front doors. If you’re hanging out and sampling beers, there’s an area near the front door with pinball and arcade games, and another group of video games and pop-ashot basketball near the rear. A lounge upstairs offers bird’s-eye views and comfortable chairs and sofas. Will there be more beer? For now, the drafts available in the taproom were all made at Aslin’s original location in Herndon. Co-founder Kai Leszkowicz expects Alexandria’s new brewing system, which has an annual capacity of around 15,000
barrels (“two-and-a-quarter times larger” than the old one), to be fully operational in August, with the first beers ready to drink a few weeks later. The entire facility could eventually produce “50,000 or 60,000 barrels a year,” Leszkowicz says, “but we don’t know necessarily we’ll ever grow to that capacity.” The expanded brewing space and equipment will also allow Aslin to expand its offerings. Visible through those taproom windows are four huge lager vessels, which look like tanks set on their side. These will enable the regular production of Much Ado, a German-style Helles that has become a brewer favorite, as well as seasonal festbiers. Visitors peering through taproom windows might also see what looks like a sauna-style room holding a giant metal baking pan. This is Aslin’s coolship, a traditional Belgian-style fermentation vessel that allows beer to be fermented with the wild yeast in the air. Vents connect the sealed room to the outside, which will draw microbes in, and invite them to live in the American white oak that covers the walls. “I don’t think many consumers understand what a
FRITZ HAHN PHOTOS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
In less than four years, Aslin Beer Company has become one of the region’s most buzzed-about breweries, thanks to its ultra-juicy New England-style IPAs, fruit-infused sours and high-octane imperial stouts. Yet many local beer drinkers have never tried Aslin. Only a few bars regularly offer its beers on tap. Cans are sold only at the brewery, and the ballyhooed IPAs and stouts sell out quickly. And if a curious beer lover has heard of Aslin and driven out to the Herndon brewery looking for a pint or a tasting flight, they’ve been disappointed: Aslin hasn’t had a public taproom since December 2016. A new era began last week, however, with the opening of a massive new Alexandria brewery and taproom in a former FEMA warehouse. The 25,000-square-foot facility has a spacious taproom with a capacity of 350, a game room and plenty of space for Aslin to expand in the future. Here’s what you need to know before making the trip.

coolship is or why it’s utilized,” Leszkowicz says. “This literally an exhibit for people to look at” that allows them to ask brewers or staff about what it is or how it works. Meanwhile, the Herndon brewery will become a smaller, experimental facility, specializing in “the finite and delicate beers that our brewery isn’t necessarily known for” that could eventually make their way to Alexandria. Can I get beer to go? Yes. Cans are for sale in the a merchandise room, off the taproom, alongside T-shirts, caps and special glassware. There
are no crowlers yet, though they should be available later this summer. How easy is it to get there? There’s not a lot of street parking, which Aslin knows is a potential problem, especially on release days. While the new location is only about a mile from the Van Dorn Street Metro, that station is closed until after Labor Day. For now, the best bet for those coming from D.C. is to bring a designated driver or to book an Uber or Lyft from the Pentagon’s parking lot, about a 20-minute ride. Are well-behaved little angels
allowed? Kids are allowed until 7 p.m., when Aslin switches to a 21-andolder “Adult Swim.” Is there food? A short menu of snacks and sandwiches comes from the Aslin food truck, which is parked out back — Aslin’s way of not having to deal with installing a professional kitchen. Outside food is not allowed.

She does this best on her 2016 record “The Heart Speaks in Whispers,” which explores a range of moods and sounds that all flow together into a velvety-smooth listen. She hasn’t put out an album since then, so this show may be heavy on those songs and past hits.

One of D.C.’s best summer sports traditions was already plenty good when you got the chance to catch a couple of notable names in tennis as they tuned up for the U.S. Open.

Netflix goes downstream A dip in subscribers could spell trouble for competing streamers STREAMING How much is too much for streaming video? A dramatic slowdown in growth at Netflix — including the first quarterly drop in its U.S. subscribers since 2011 — is raising questions about just how much are people willing to pay for streaming services. Especially with a host of new ones from Disney, Apple and others
on their way. A recent price increase seems to have spooked Netflix subscribers. The company lost 126,000 subscribers in the U.S., less than 1% of its 60.1 million paid U.S. subscriptions, during the AprilJune period. Its most popular plan rose from $11 to $13 in a U.S. price hike announced in January and rolled out for many subscribers during the second quarter. “ Net f l i x ra isi ng pr ic es prompted people to think about whether they were getting value for money,” Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter says.
“Blade Runner” star Rutger Hauer died Friday at 75
Streaming services preparing to compete with Netflix appear to be taking note. Disney Plus, set to debut in November, will already be cheaper than Netflix at $8 a month, though Disney Plus will also have a smaller video library. Hulu has cut prices to $6 from $8 for its ad-supported service. Group M analyst Brian Weiser says that for now, other services shouldn’t be overly concerned by a weak quarter or two at Netflix. “I don’t think it follows that if Netflix has an underperforming quarter that tells you about others,” he says.

“I hope that somebody out there is looking out and caring for Jared O’Mara this morning.” @STEVELAPSL, criticizing the Twitter resignation of Gareth Arnold, an aide to British MP Jared O’Mara. In tweets from O’Mara’s account Tuesday, Arnold called his boss “morally bankrupt” and a “degenerate prick.” Many at first cheered the call-out, citing O’Mara’s past homophobic and misogynistic comments. Others saw the tweets as unnecessary and mean-spirited, since O’Mara is on the autism spectrum, has cerebral palsy and has a history of suicide attempts.
“I’m actually sick. If a British boyband had BTS numbers & artistry ... Do you think they’d make a ‘Brit-pop’ category?” @KIMSNAMU, blasting the MTV Video Music Awards for its new “Best K-Pop” category. The move has infuriated fans of nominated acts, including BTS, EXO and Monsta X, for unfairly separating them from Western artists. Fans pointed out that BTS received nods for Best Choreography, Best Art Direction and Best Collaboration, but not mainstream categories such as Video of the Year — despite their hit “Boy With Luv” having broken the YouTube record for most-viewed video in 24 hours. Many believe this “pigeonholing” stems from a fear that K-Pop groups would otherwise sweep the awards.
“Congratulations ‘Avatar’ on becoming the highest grossing film in history. We doubt there will EVER be a movie that will be this successful.” PARODY ACCOUNT @LNTERNETXPLORE, created as a joke
about the web browser’s reputation for being slower than others. The parody was begun by LeShaun Lewis earlier this month. Its tweets treat years-old news as breaking developments. “Avatar” was officially dethroned by “Avengers: Endgame” on Sunday as the highest-grossing film of all time.

@RYANJREILLY, tweeting about the Robert Mueller’s go-to answers during his Wednesday hearings before two House committees. The former special counsel repeatedly told committee members asking about the alleged 2016 Trump Tower meeting and Russian interference in 2016, “That’s outside my purview” and referred them to specific pages of his report. The phrase quickly became a meme as viewers imagined other contexts in which it could be used.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may be facing a deadline today; do what you can as early as possible, and make room for any additional tasks that come your way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may have to wait for someone else to do his or her part today before you can finally put the finishing touches on a long-term project. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s important for you to reveal only what others need to know. The rest can remain under wraps — for a time.

Meek Mill sets new high bar for Wednesdays
Does this sound sad to anyone else? Leonardo DiCaprio has been sculpting with friend and “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” co-star Brad Pitt, British tabloid The Sun reported. An anonymous source told the outlet that DiCaprio uses the sculpting studio at Pitt’s house. “Leo brings sandwiches over from their favorite place, Fat Sal’s, and they spend their boys’ nights creating art until the early hours,” the source said.

A Pennsylvania appeals court on Wednesday overturned rapper Meek Mill’s conviction in a drug and gun case that has kept the rapper on probation for a decade and made him a crusader for criminal justice reform. A three-judge panel granted the rapper a new trial because of new evidence of alleged police corruption and said he would likely be acquitted if the case is retried. Also on Wednesday, Meek Mill announced that he is launching Dream Chasers Records, a new label and joint venture with JAY-Z’s Roc Nation. “I’m not on probation right now ... new label deal with JAY-Z!!! Today was lit already,” the rapper tweeted on Wednesday. (AP)
