THE DISTRICT The crowd seemed like just another large tour group meandering around the Mall. But instead of city maps and cameras, this group brought Poké Balls attached to belt loops and dozens of stuffed Pikachu dolls sticking out of backpacks.

Despite a sudden rainstorm, hundreds gathered at the Jefferson Memorial on Saturday afternoon to play Pokémon Go, the wildly popular augmentedreality smartphone game. The people came out not only to hunt Pokémon, but also to meet others who love the game as much as they do.

“The game’s fun, but that’s not really what today is about,” said Richard Hu, 23, a student at the University of the District of Columbia. “I’m here to be a part of something different and to be part of this weird, fun community.”

MICHAEL S. WILLIAMSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Hundreds gathered in D.C. ‘to be part of this weird, fun community’

A group of people playing Pokémon Go pass the Washington Monument on Saturday.

After the brief rain passed just after 1 p.m., the crowd split into three groups that corresponded with the three teams within the game. One team tramped through the mud as they rounded the Tidal Basin and walked north toward the Mall, many faces glued to screens to find Pokémon. The basin’s actual ducks were ignored.

The game puts the player in

the role of a Pokémon trainer, whose goal is to find and catch all 151 cartoon creatures. This can’t be done from the comfort of a living room couch, however.

Players have to go into the streets and physically wander until they bump into the Pokémon.

For the Soens family, the game has become a way to spend more time together. Buffy Soens downloaded the game because her two kids were playing, but she soon found herself hunting Pokémon even when they weren’t around.

“I truly enjoy it now,” she said.

“There’s even a little competition between us about who can get to the highest level.”

The family of four from Bryans Road, Md., has taken evening trips to the District, Annapolis and National Harbor to hunt Pokémon that live in different places. It’s an easy way to meet people and strike up conversations, said Ryan Soens, the father.

“There’s just a really good vibe everywhere,” he said.

“We like the camaraderie and the community.” ELISE SCHMELZER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘This is not going to be pretty’ TRANSPORTATION This will be the biggest one to date.

Metro’s sixth maintenance surge — the first to affect the system’s most heavily traveled corridor — is scheduled to begin today on the Red Line, with round-the-clock single-tracking on the east end between the Takoma and Silver Spring stations.

Metro officials estimate that this will be the second-most impactful bout of maintenance of the entire 10-month SafeTrack project, with a 50 to 75 percent reduction in capacity between Glenmont and NoMa-Gallaudet.

And after seven days, crews will switch to work on the west end — between the Shady Grove and Twinbrook stations — to complete 10 more days of work.

“This is not going to be pretty,” Montgomery County Council Vice President Roger Berliner said, “but it is oh-so-necessary.”

Although Metro’s maintenance “surges” on other lines have seen an initial dramatic drop-off in ridership, with a subsequent slow rise as riders trickle back to the train system, Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld is hoping that he has successfully scared people away from trying to crowd onto the limited number of trains at any point during the upcoming Red Line surges.

YUE WU (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Metro’s latest round of SafeTrack work rolls out today on the Red Line

After weeks of work on other portions of the rail system, Metro now brings its maintenance surge to the Red Line.

Plan ahead The single-tracking zone may look small, but it will have a big impact on rush-hour commuters. Here are some ways to avoid the mess. (TWP) Riders commuting between Fort Totten and downtown Washington can steer away from the Red Line and instead travel on the Green Line.

Metro will provide extra rush-hour buses on the 80, P6, G8 and Y7 routes, which begin at the Fort Totten station, the Rhode Island Avenue station and points in Maryland, then travel throughout the District.

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation’s Ride On bus service will offer “Red Line shuttles” as an alternative to the actual trains.

“This will result in significant delays on the entire Red Line, not just this portion of it,” Wiedefeld said at a news conference.

“Starting Monday, Red Line riders need to do what others have done, which is find alternatives.”

Traffic-control officers will be

2,000

posted at strategic intersections to help handle the increased number of vehicles and pedestrians trying to find their way.

Capital Bikeshare will provide a bike corral at Union Station during this maintenance surge.

Additionally, the bike rental

outfit is offering $2 fares on half-hour rides for the duration of SafeTrack.

“You need to look at all your alternatives, study them up and do everything you can to avoid being discombobulated,” said Berliner. But, he added, “let’s not lose sight of why we are subjecting our residents to this major inconvenience.”

Wiedefeld has been pushing that point, too. At a Metro board meeting Thursday, he said that one of the major focuses of this surge will be replacing crossties, the wooden beams that support the train tracks.

Metro staffers expect to be able to replace thousands of crossties between the Silver Spring and Takoma stations during the seven-day, interruptionfree work period — so many that it would otherwise take 160 night-work sessions to complete.

Amid all the advance complaining about the Red Line’s initial encounter with SafeTrack, at least one person was optimistic: Takoma Park Mayor Kate Stewart. Yes, she acknowledged, surge No. 6 will be a bummer.

The bright side? The Red Line woes of August are only a prelude to what is to come in October: surge No. 10, which will stop all train traffic between Fort Totten and NoMa-Gallaudet for 23 days — the most daunting surge on the SafeTrack schedule.

By the time October rolls around, Stewart said, “We’ll be really ready for it.” MARTINE POWERS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

6-year-old shot, wounded as a violent Saturday in D.C. leaves two dead, six injured

Investigation underway after train derails TRANSPORTATION The East Falls Church station was closed through Sunday as Metro officials investigated a derailment on the tracks serving the Orange and Silver lines that delayed thousands of morning commuters Friday and capped off an already troubled week for the system.

Though they had hoped to reopen the lines by Sunday morning, Metro officials said Saturday that they needed more time to investigate the derailment. Service was suspended between West Falls Church/McLean and Ballston through Sunday, but normal service was to resume starting at 5 a.m. today.

The Friday morning derailment resulted in no serious injuries but startled the 60 passengers on the train.

It also sent a wave of service interruptions throughout the subway system and did little to allay riders’ concerns about the system’s safety record.

General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said experts from Metro, the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Transit Administration, as well as an outside consultant, are looking into several possibilities as to why the train derailed.

“Environment, heat — we had a lot of rain the past few days,” he said. “It starts with the human [factor]. We’re looking at ties, at fasteners, at all the switches. All that will be looked at.” (TWP)

2 dead after Md. flash flood Heavy rains Saturday night lead the governor to issue a state of emergency for historic Ellicott City

“We thought we were gone. We have a creek behind us and a river forming in front of us.”

KELLY SECRET, a resident of Ellicott City, Md., whose apartment and workplace were destroyed during a flash flood late Saturday night

PHOTOS BY ASTRUD RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

ELLICOTT CITY, MD. A vicious flash flood ripped through Ellicott City, Md., Saturday night, leaving at least two people dead and two missing as it destroyed roads, homes and businesses.

Dramatic video and photos shot after the flood depict a ravaged downtown: bricks torn from sidewalks, streets caved in, cars overturned, storefronts gashed, first floors gutted.

The bodies of a man and a woman were found Sunday, town spokesman Andy Barth said.

Baltimore County police, who recovered the victims’ bodies on the opposite side of the Patapsco River, identified the victims as Jessica Watsula, 35, of Lebanon, Pa., and Joseph Blevins, 38, of Windsor Mill, Md. Both were inside vehicles that were overcome by floodwaters.

The devastation prompted Gov. Larry Hogan to declare a state of emergency.

Historic Main Street looked like “a scene from a disaster movie,” Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said. “I know there are going to be a lot of people who will lose their homes and apartments and businesses that will have a hard time rebuilding.”

On Sunday morning — when the 244-year-old town’s epicenter would normally have bustled with visitors — Kittleman and Rep. Elijah Cummings joined Hogan to tour the wreckage of an area that has been struck by floods before.

“We’ve got a long road ahead of us,” Hogan said. “We are going to do everything we can to immediately help people, make sure there is housing, get things back on track.”

One video posted to Facebook shows three men forming a human chain through the raging

lets go of the chain and, just after he is nearly swept away, takes the driver and drags her to safety.

Five years ago, another flood destroyed everything in Kelly Secret’s Main Street apartment.

“September 7, 2011,” said Secret, who’s in her 40s. “We moved

to a second-floor apartment. We thought we’d be nice and safe.”

Now, a second date — July 30, 2016 — has been etched into her memory. On that night, the floodwaters carved an eight-foot sinkhole in front of her home, and also damaged the business

on Main Street where she works.

“I’m not only homeless, I’m unemployed,” Secret said Sunday.

She knew something was wrong when she heard a loud creaking noise. Soon, Secret realized the rising waters had pushed four cars down the street.

“We luckily had backpacks ready,” Secret said. “It’s not much.

A single change of clothes.”

Three of her cats made it out with her. The fourth was still inside, as far as she knew.

“We’ve gone back before, but I don’t think I’ll ever live on Main Street again. I need to go live on a mountain,” Secret said, trying to muster a smile.

Shannon Tolley, 45, of Manheim, Pa., was driving through town with a friend on Saturday afternoon when they decided to stop. As the rain began, they popped into the basement bar at Ellicott Mills Brewing Company.

Soon, she said, a flash flood warning alerted on Tolley’s phone, and “all of a sudden it started leaking in the basement bar.”

The restaurant staff moved diners up to the first floor, then — as the flooding worsened — the second and the third.

“The water was just rushing down the street like a big river,” the music teacher said. OVETTA WIGGINS, MARY HUI AND JOHN WOODROW COX (THE WASHINGTON POST)/AP

Missing Bethesda man found dead Friday near George Washington Parkway; police say foul play not suspected

MONDAY | 08.01.2016 | EXPRESS | 7

local THE DISTRICT Last week, prosecutors and defense attorneys were set to travel to a California meeting, preparing for the retrial of the man charged with killing Washington intern Chandra Levy in 2001. But that travel plan changed abruptly and the murder case crumbled.

Lawyers on both sides had learned about recent secretly recorded conversations with the man who was to have been the key witness against Ingmar Guandique, Levy’s alleged killer. On Thursday, prosecutors dropped all charges against Guandique,

telling defense attorneys that new information had left them unable to prove their case.

New details about how the case unraveled emerged Friday from defense attorneys, who said the case was closed shortly after prosecutors received recordings from a Maryland woman of conversations she had with star witness and jailhouse informant Armando Morales.

The woman told both sides that Morales said in the recordings that he lied when he testified that Guandique had told him about killing Levy, according to the

defense attorneys from the District’s Public Defender’s Service.

Morales testified at Guandique’s trial in 2010 that the illegal immigrant from El Salvador admitted when they were cellmates that he had killed Levy. Morales’ testimony was critical and resulted in Guandique’s conviction and a 60-year prison sentence.

Levy was a 24-year-old intern with the Federal Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared May 1, 2001. Her remains were found in 2002 in Rock Creek Park.

EDUCATION The leaders of the Satanic Temple have gathered in Salem, Mass., a city renowned for its witch trials. They’re plotting to bring their wisdom to the nation’s public schoolchildren.

They point out that Christian evangelical groups such as The Good News Club already have a presence in the lives of many American children through after-school religious programming in public schools, and they appear determined to give young students a choice.

“It’s critical that children

understand that there are multiple perspectives on all issues, and that they have a choice in how they think,” said Doug Mesner, the Satanic Temple’s co-founder.

Today, the group plans to introduce its After School Satan Club to public elementary schools, including one in Prince George’s County, petitioning school officials to allow them to open when the academic year starts. There are at least 10 other chapters across the country.

The group’s plan for public schoolchildren isn’t about promoting worship of the devil, however. The curriculum for the proposed after-school clubs emphasizes the development of reasoning and social skills. Every child must have a signed parental

permission slip to attend.

“We are only doing this because Good News Clubs have created a need for this,” Mesner

said. “If Good News Clubs would operate in churches rather than public schools, that need would disappear. But our point is that if you let one religion into the public schools, you have to let others.

Otherwise it’s an establishment of religion.”

“I would definitely oppose after-school Satanic clubs, but they have a First Amendment right to meet,” said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, which works with Good News Clubs. “I suspect, in this particular case, I can’t imagine there’s going to be a lot of students participating in this. It’s probably dust they’re kicking up and is likely to fade away in the near future for lack of interest.”

Kochs refuse to put money behind Trump

KATIE ZEZIMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

STEVE PEOPLES (AP)

Trump is a ‘black soul’ Father of slain Muslim soldier says GOP must ‘repudiate’ the nominee POLITICS Khizr Khan, whose son died fighting in Iraq, said Sunday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s temperament and lack of empathy render him unfit to lead the nation and that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., have a moral obligation to speak out against their party’s standard-bearer.

“Two things are absolutely necessary in any leader or any person that aspires, wishes to be a leader. That is moral compass and, second, is empathy. This candidate is void of both traits that are necessary for the stewardship of this country,” Khan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“He is a black soul. And this is totally unfit for the leadership of this beautiful country,” Khan said.

Khan and his wife, Ghazala Khan, appeared last week at the

Democratic National Convention, where he gave an emotional speech in which he questioned whether Trump had ever read the U.S. Constitution and offered to lend him his copy. The Khans’ son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq in 2004. Khan said the Republican nominee had “sacrificed nothing and no one.”

Trump lashed out at the Khans on Saturday, accusing Khizr Khan of being controlled by the campaign of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump pointed to the sacrifices he has made as a businessman, saying he has worked hard and employed thousands of people.

The backlash against Trump’s remarks continued to come from both Democrats and Republicans on Sunday.

“Mr. Khan,” Clinton said at a Cleveland church, “paid the ultimate sacrifice in his family, didn’t he? And what has he heard from Donald Trump?

Nothing but insults degrading comments about Muslims, a total misunderstanding of what made our country great — religious

Ghazala Khan’s op-ed “Donald Trump has asked why I did not speak at the Democratic convention. He said he would like to hear from me. Here is my answer to Donald Trump: Because without saying a thing, all the world, all America, felt my pain. I am a Gold Star mother.

Whoever saw me felt me in their heart. … Donald Trump said he has made a lot of sacrifices. He doesn’t know what the word sacrifice means.”

— AN EXCERPT FROM GHAZALA KHAN’S WASHINGTON POST OP-ED. Donald Trump criticized her convention appearance, saying: “If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably — maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”

freedom, religious liberty. It’s enshrined in our Constitution, as Mr. Khan knows, because he’s actually read it.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 74, says there is a “great likelihood” he’ll seek a seventh term in 2020

veteran, said Trump’s comments about the Khans were unacceptable. “This is going to a place where we’ve never gone before, to push back against the families of the fallen,” he told the Times.

Khan said McConnell and Ryan must speak out against Trump. It is their “moral, ethical obligation to not worry about the votes but repudiate him, withdraw the support. If they do not, I will continue to speak, and I am speaking,” Khan said.

In a statement Sunday, McConnell said Capt. Khan was a hero and reiterated his opposition to Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims.

“Captain Khan was an American hero, and like all Americans I’m grateful for the sacrifices that selfless young men like Capt. Khan and their families have made in the war on terror,” McConnell said. “And as I have long made clear, I agree with the Khans and families across the country that a travel ban on all members of a religion is simply contrary to American values.”

POLITICS Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch declared Sunday that his huge political network would not support Donald Trump, but the 80-year-old conservative icon insisted he would not support Hillary Clinton, either.

Koch, above, a popular target of Democrats, called any rumor that he would back the Democratic presidential candidate “a blood libel.”

With Election Day just three months away, Koch and his chief lieutenants are refusing to support the Republican presidential nominee, focusing instead on helping the GOP win competitive Senate contests in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Koch’s comments came at a three-day meeting of donors who promise to give at least $100,000 a year to groups backed by the Koch brothers’ Freedom Partners — a network of education, policy and political entities that aim to promote a smaller, less intrusive government. The libertarianleaning Koch opposes Trump’s positions on immigration, trade, minimum wage and criminal justice reform.

A day earlier, Trump thumbed his nose at the Koch gathering via Twitter.

“I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch,” the New York billionaire tweeted.

“Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!”

Although the National Transportation Safety Board did not identify the company operating the balloon or its pilot involved in Saturday’s crash, two officials familiar with the investigation said it was run by Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloon Rides. The officials spoke to The Associated

Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the case publicly.

NTSB investigators will look at “three things — human, machine and environment,” board member Robert Sumwalt said.

The investigation will include the balloon’s maintenance history and the weather conditions.

The NTSB is interested in any cellphone video of the flight from witnesses, and investigators will look for devices in the wreckage that might contain video shot by passengers.

The pilot was Skip Nichols, 49, according to Alan Lirette, who identified Nichols as his boss, best friend and roommate. Lirette said he helped launch the balloon, which was carrying a

total of 16 people, none of them children.

The balloon fell in a pasture near Lockhart, about 30 miles south of Austin. The crash site was near a row of high-tension power lines, and aerial photos showed an area of scorched land underneath. One witness described seeing a “fireball” near the power lines.

Caldwell County Sheriff Daniel Law and the Texas Department of Public Safety said it will be “a long process” to identify the 16 victims.

Wendy Bartch, a former girlfriend of Nichols, told the Austin American-Statesman that he had been involved with hot air balloons for about two decades.

“I am pushing for a Tokyo where people’s lives will be better, and everyone can shine — men and women, children and adults, the elderly and the disabled.”

Zika fears rise as the virus hits closer to home Mosquitoes have begun spreading the Zika virus on the U.S. mainland for the first time, health officials said Friday. “Zika is now here,” said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

(AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

Florida Four recently infected people in the Miami area are believed to have contracted the virus locally through mosquito bites, Gov. Rick Scott said. No mosquitoes in Florida have been found to be carrying Zika, despite the testing of 19,000 insects by the state lab. But other methods of Zika transmission were ruled out.

The District Mosquito season is getting longer, which means an increased risk of Zika. Baltimore has had the biggest increase in the length of its mosquito season, according to Climate Central. Since 1980, its metro area has seen a 37-day lengthening of the season, which now lasts 152 days on average.

Muslims go to Catholic Mass to show support

In a gesture of solidarity following the killing of a French priest, Muslims on Sunday attended Catholic Mass in churches and cathedrals across France and Italy. A few dozen Muslims gathered at the towering Gothic cathedral in Rouen, near where two teenage Muslim fanatics Tuesday slit the throat of the Rev. Jacques Hamel, 85.

Churchgoer Jacqueline Prevot said the attendance of Muslims was “a magnificent gesture.” (AP) U.S. economy grows at weak 1.2 percent rate in April through June — a third disappointing quarter

Growing Big Sur wildfire continues its destruction

Decree gives Erdogan more control of military

A shooting in a crowded entertainment district in downtown Austin early Sunday caused a chaotic scene, leaving one woman dead and four others wounded and police searching for a suspect.

Austin Police Chief of Staff Brian Manley says police received reports of gunshots in Sixth Street Entertainment District shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday, and found that five people had been shot. One woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and three other women were hospitalized with injuries that were serious, but not life-threatening.

Manley said another victim declined to be transported to the hospital. (AP)

Crews continued to battle a massive wildfire near California’s Big Sur that is threatening thousands of homes as another blaze broke out in Fresno County and quickly spread, prompting the evacuation of 300 homes near dry, rolling hills. The fatal fire north of Big Sur grew overnight to 59 square miles, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said Sunday. The wildfire has destroyed 57 homes and 11 outbuildings and is threatening 2,000 more structures. It was 15 percent contained Sunday morning. More than 5,000 firefighters are battling the wildfire, which killed a bulldozer operator working the fire line. (AP)

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a new presidential decree Sunday that introduced sweeping changes to Turkey’s military in the wake of a July 15 failed coup, bringing the armed forces further under civilian authority. The decree, the third issued under a threemonth state of emergency declared after the attempted coup, gives the president and prime minister the authority to issue direct orders to the commanders of the army, air force and navy. It also announces the discharge of 1,389 military personnel, including Erdogan’s chief military adviser, who had been arrested days after the attempted coup. (AP)

TV tips for Games

Nats hoping they’ve found a new savior NATIONALS While making his trek from Milwaukee to San Francisco this weekend — a whirlwind trip that included a layover in Phoenix and concluded at 2 a.m. Sunday — Mark Melancon exchanged texts with Jonathan Papelbon, the man whose job he is taking.

Melancon, the Nationals’ new closer, said Sunday that Papelbon, the Nationals’ previous closer, was “awesome” about the potential awkwardness.

“It’s a tough situation so I understand that,” Melancon said Sunday in San Francisco before the Nationals played the Giants.

“Like he said, we’re here to win a championship. Whatever it takes.”

The Nationals acquired Melancon, a three-time All-Star, from the Pirates for left-handers Felipe Rivero and Taylor Hearn on Saturday because the Nationals

had lost confidence in Papelbon, a four-month progression completed by a poor outing Thursday to cap a horrendous week.

Melancon, 31, is essentially a rental as an impending free agent this offseason, but Washington didn’t have to relinquish a top prospect for the upgrade.

The right-hander won’t get to pitch at home for the Nationals until they return Friday. But he well remembers the last time he pitched in the District: Melancon allowed a game-tying, pinch-hit home run to Daniel Murphy in the ninth inning of an 18-inning Pirates win July 17.

“I was trying to help us out,” he joked.

That was a rare hiccup for him. Since seizing the role for the Pirates in July 2013, no other pitcher has amassed more saves.

The Pirates had not lost a game he entered in a save situation since April 2015. He led the majors with 51 saves last season.

This year, Melancon had 30 saves in 33 chances for Pittsburgh

Acquiring Melancon bumps fading Papelbon from his role as closer

The coverage by the NBC family of stations of the Summer Games, which begin this week, is so broad that it can be hard to get a grip on your viewing options.

Here are a few things to know. DAVE TEPPS (EXPRESS)

Beyond NBC and NBCSN, check Golf Channel, Bravo (tennis, sometimes 12 hours a day), MSNBC, CNBC (after 5 p.m.), USA Network, NBC Universo and Telemundo.

Former Pirates All-Star Mark Melancon, 31, has been one of the majors’ best closers for three years. His contract expires after this season.

Giants 3, Nationals 1 Matt Cain threw five hitless innings for his 100th career win and the host Giants held the Nationals to three hits in a 3-1 victory Sunday. Cain struck out five and walked four on 93 pitches. The Nationals’ Gio Gonzalez (6-9) allowed two runs on six hits in six innings for his fourth quality start in five outings. Washington visits Arizona tonight. (AP)

with a 1.51 ERA and 1-1 record.

He doesn’t have the overpowering stuff of most premier closers; according to FanGraphs, his fastball has averaged 91.6 mph this season. He works around the

lack of velocity with a four-pitch arsenal highlighted by a cutter.

Melancon has been traded during a season before, but this time he is joining a first-place club as the hot commodity. A year ago it was Papelbon who joined a first-place Nationals club as the hot commodity and bumped the previous closer to a lesser role.

That didn’t sit well with incumbent Drew Storen, and was part of the club’s second-half collapse.

This could be different because Papelbon says he’s on board.

Melancon thinks that is vital.

“Obviously, talent takes care of itself,” he said, “but camaraderie, I’d say, is key.”

2 Soccer on Wednesday The opening ceremony is Friday, but some events start earlier. At 6 p.m. Wednesday, the U.S. women’s soccer team will play New Zealand on NBC Sports Network.

Indians go all in with trade They get reliever Miller from Yanks, but Lucroy vetoes separate deal

Defensive line in state of flux for Washington

CHRIS O’MEARA (AP)

MLB Serious about winning the World Series, the Indians hit .500 Sunday in their efforts to make two crucial acquisitions.

Going all in for October, the AL Central leader acquired AllStar left-handed reliever Andrew Miller from the Yankees for four minor leaguers.

The deal came less than 12 hours after the Indians had reached agreement on the parameters of a swap with Milwaukee for Brewers All-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy.

But that trade was stopped by Lucroy, who refused to waive his no-trade clause and turned down a chance to join a contender.

“There were some circumstances that came up that made me void it, obviously,” Lucroy said. “I think when it eventually comes out, everyone will understand why.”

That explanation fanned speculation that he could be traded to another team by today’s 4 p.m. deadline for nonwaiver trades.

The Mets are among other teams seeking a catcher.

T h e add it i o n of M i l ler

Left-handed reliever Andrew Miller will give Indians manager Terry Francona enviable bullpen options.

improves the Indians’ chances of winning their first World Series since 1948.

“It certainly should help us a lot,” manager Terry Francona said. “I know when we go into New York next week, we don’t have to face Andrew Miller, which will be really nice.”

So will Francona’s ability to mix and match Miller with righthander Bryan Shaw in the late innings before handing the ball to closer Cody Allen.

Trump irate: Debates, NFL will go head-to-head on TV

Showers force another postponement at Pocono

Donald Trump complained Saturday that the Democrats were trying to hurt his presidential chances by scheduling debates that conflict with prime-time NFL games. But the debate schedule was determined last September by a private, bipartisan group. Trump also said the NFL sent him a letter sharing his dismay, but the league said no letter was sent.

The debates in question are Monday, Sept. 26, and Sunday, Oct. 9. (TWP)

The NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa., was postponed Sunday until 11 a.m. today because of rain. NBC Sports Network will televise it.

NASCAR said this was the first time a track had two rain-postponed races in the same season. (AP)

The Indians sent four minor leaguers, including highly touted outfielder Clint Frazier, to New York for Miller, 31, who could be ready to join the bullpen today when the club opens a four-game series against Minnesota.

Although they have an excellent starting staff, the Indians’ bullpen needed a proven lefty, and there is none better than Miller, who possesses a nasty slider and has a 6-1 record, 1.39 ERA and nine saves. And he

isn’t a short-term rental. Miller is signed through 2018 at $9 million annually.

The Yankees, in rare “sell” mode at 52-52, last week sent reliever Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs. On Sunday, the Yankees acquired former Nationals reliever Tyler Clippard from the Diamondbacks for right-hander Vicente Campos, 24. Clippard is 2-3 with a 4.30 ERA in 37 innings this season. He has one save.

“I just can’t get it on the phone. It’s fine, but it would have been something fun to do.”

ANNA GREEN, a New Zealand soccer player,

lamenting the unavailability of Pokémon Go in Brazil, site of the Summer Games. So far, it can be played in the U.S., Canada, Australia and many Asian and European countries.

REDSKINS One of the Redskins’ most suspect areas as they begin their first full week of camp today is defensive line, an issue last season when Washington was 26th in run defense, allowing 122.6 yards per game.

The starters included end Jason Hatcher and nose tackle Terrance Knighton, who weren’t retained in the offseason. But the Redskins haven’t made a significant splash to replace them. They signed free agent end Kendall Reyes to a one-year deal, and their top draft pick for the group is fifth-rounder Matt Ioannidis of Temple.

Returning starter Chris Baker, 28, is coming off his best season, with six sacks. So far in camp, he has been paired in the base package with Reyes or Ricky Jean Francois on the opposite side along with veteran nose tackle Kedric Golston.

Washington figures to be in its nickel package the majority of the season, given how often NFL offenses spread defenses with their formations, But Golston, 33, will be expected to contribute in the base package. He hasn’t started a game since 2013.

End Stephen Paea could help.

He was one of the team’s top free agent signees in 2015, but had a disappointing season that ended on injured reserve with turf toe.

Paea, 6-foot-1, has gained 20 pounds in the past year and now weighs 306, but he believes he hasn’t lost any quickness. MASTER TESFATSION (THE WASHINGTON POST)

This genetically engineered group of beautiful beachgoers is the cast of “Bachelor in Paradise.”

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘The Hills: That Was Then, This Is Now’

RICK ROWELL (ABC)

9 p.m. Tuesday on MTV

MARC SILVER | BROADCAST MUSE

False idols: We love the way the ‘Bachelor’ lies “Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.”

So said Oscar Wilde. Though the witty Brit expired in 1900, I think he was talking about the current season of “The Bachelorette,” whose finale airs tonight at 8 on ABC, and “Bachelor in Paradise,” premiering tomorrow, same time, same network.

Because there appears to be a whole lot of deception going on.

Tonight, Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher chooses between her

favorite singletons: Robby Hayes, described by ABC as a “former competitive swimmer,” and Jordan Rodgers, a “former pro quarterback.”

When she says she’s in love with both of them, isn’t she deceiving herself?

Meanwhile, she sent deceptively mixed signals to the third finalist, Chase, who was left to wonder: “Why did you give me that Fantasy Suite [where ABC-sanctioned copulation takes place] card just to send me home?”

JoJo may be the victim of deception, too. Rumor has it Jordan wanted to be on “The

Bachelorette” to jump-start his career in sports broadcasting. Plus, his former girlfriend has accused him of cheating.

And then there’s “Bachelor in Paradise,” in which contestants who struck out on “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette” mingle at a resort. Spoiler alert: There will be proposals! And no doubt, deceptions. One woman says of her beloved: “I’m in love with him. I just hope he doesn’t change his mind.”

But deception won’t be the only game. Two contestants are self-styled truth tellers.

Chad Johnson, one of JoJo’s suitors, is billed by ABC as the most controversial man in the history of the “Bachelor” franchise. To earn this title, Chad ate a heap of lunch meat, picked fights and, after he was dumped by JoJo, says he “hung out with” the exes of Robby and another contestant, Grant.

Still, credit where credit is due. There’s no denying the truth of his advice earlier this

season to fellow contestants vying for JoJo’s heart: “Y’all don’t know her yet; you can’t be in love with her.”

“Paradise’s” other truth teller is Jubilee Sharpe, who lost her family as a child in Haiti, was adopted by an American family and is a military vet.

When she was on “The Bachelor,” Jubilee freely admitted that she’s “complicated” — which prompted host Chris Harrison to say, “I know you can’t control how complicated you are.” To which comedian Amy Schumer tweeted: “There is nothing wrong with ‘complicated’ women Chris Harrison.

You treated it like something she should fight.”

Jubilee’s honesty shows Oscar Wilde’s words aren’t always the rule when it comes to romance. I hope she continues to spread her truthiness in paradise.

In this new special, “The Hills” star Lauren Conrad promises to tell “the real story” behind her former MTV reality show, which premiered 10 years ago this summer.

2 ‘Koko: The Gorilla Who Talks’ 8 p.m. Wednesday on PBS

This new documentary explores the life of the famous cat-loving gorilla, now in her 40s, who captivated the world when she became conversant in sign language.

3 ‘The Little Prince’ 3 a.m. Friday on Netflix

After American distributors cancelled the release of this animated take on Antoine de Saint-Exupery‘s children’s book, Netflix came to the rescue. Riley Osborne voices the role of the Little Prince.

At the Television Critics Association tour in Los Angeles on Saturday, HBO President Casey Bloys announced that Jon Stewart, left, plans to launch an animated parody of cable news by September or October. The project will include an online portal where animated videos about breaking news stories will be posted as often as several times daily. The videos will probably be repackaged later into a half-hour show on the cable channel. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Alexandra Pelosi interviewed billionaires such as Haim Saban for her documentary, “Meet the Donors.”

Digging into the deepest pockets in politics today A new documentary finds the funny side of special-interest donors TELEVISION Filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi has made a new documentary about the corrosive impact of specialinterest spending on government action. She knows just how boring that sounds.

“This is not a PowerPoint presentation that will be presented at a Harvard review of campaign finance reform,” she says. “This is an HBO documentary for a Monday night, when you’re competing against ‘Undercover Boss.’ ” “Meet the Donors: Does Money Talk?” (premiering at 9 tonight) takes us into political fundraisers to meet the people who write big checks for the people who run for president. While many big

donors wouldn’t talk to Pelosi, a surprising number are included.

She knew many of them through her mother, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Some, annoyed at being vilified as the “billionaire class” by Bernie Sanders, say their influence is exaggerated.

Take Brad Freeman, who has given more than a million dollars to the Bush family. Freeman was excited to get a call from George W. Bush shortly after he was elected. But the conversation was merely about Bush’s cat, which Freeman had taken a liking to.

Bush couldn’t bring the cat to the White House. Would Freeman want it?

When people wonder what he got in return for his donations, Freeman says ruefully, “I got the frickin’ cat.”

Pelosi learned that even in this

high-rent sphere, life is a lot like high school.

“This is a way of buying friends, of getting people to show up at your parties,” Pelosi says.

Some donors really do have strong feelings about issues and want to be listened to, like broadcasting executive Stanley Hubbard, a conservative who rails about “too many tree-hugging fruitcakes” and dismisses global warming. On the other end of the spectrum, there’s Vin Ryan, disgusted by democracy’s turn. He’s taking the seemingly contradictory stance of spending money only on behalf of candidates who support efforts to reduce the influence of money in politics.

Pelosi says Ryan might have a point: If there’s a way to get some of the money out of politics, perhaps it would bring more voters in. DAVID BAUDER (AP)

“In some cases, women [are] given enough pads to change but once a day, which ... is unhygienic, humiliating, and inhumane.”

EMILY TAMKIN, at slate.com, on jail officials in Louisville, Ky., who denied a woman pants and feminine hygiene products while she was in custody for six days on a shoplifting-related charge. A video of the woman’s court hearing, posted online Friday, shows Judge Amber Wolf’s disbelief at the situation.

to Donald Trump. The hashtag #FakeTrumpIntelligenceBriefing became a trending topic after a humorist used it in response to a recent comment from Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.): “I would suggest to the intelligence agencies: If you’re forced to brief this guy, don’t tell him anything, just fake it, because this man is dangerous.” As the major party nominees, Trump and Hillary Clinton will soon start receiving national intelligence briefings.

“Dear white people: when will you learn it’s NOT acceptable for you to be using the N word???” @THEPEREZHILTON reacts to news that Karlie Hay, the newly crowned Miss Teen USA 2016, had habitually used the N-word on her Twitter account, which the 18-year-old Texan has since made private.

Before Hay had even been crowned Saturday night, the contest had attracted controversy for the lack of diversity among its five finalists.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Cooperation is the key to success, but it may be difficult for you and a partner to be in the same place at the same time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You mustn’t take things so seriously that you are unable to find the fun in what you do. Laughter can be the best medicine.

“Fresh Off the Boat” actress Constance Wu wrote a statement Friday about Matt Damon’s upcoming movie “The Great Wall,” in which he plays a warrior in ancient China. “We have to stop perpetuating the racist myth that only a white man can save the world,” she wrote on Twitter. “Our heroes don’t look like Matt Damon.” (EXPRESS)

Twitter votes that this feud was a waste of time Actress Debra Messing has made up with Blake Shelton. The singer told Billboard last week that Donald Trump “says what he thinks.” Messing then tweeted to Shelton’s girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, “talk to your man to not vote for the person who will STRIP you of your rights.” Shelton denied that he was backing Trump, and Messing apologized.

Tyler Posey apologized for a Snapchat video in which he pretended to come out as gay. The “Teen Wolf” star shared a video Friday that shows him standing below a street sign for Gay St. “This is me. I am this and this is me. I’ve never felt more alive. I’m gay!” Posey says in the video. After fans praised him for coming out on social media, Posey tweeted, “Although I’m not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community. This was a moment intended to reflect that. … I am truly sorry to the people I’ve offended or lessened how big coming out is. I just want to spread love in this world.” (EXPRESS)

Canadian star Justin Bieber was very close to performing at the Republican National Convention, TMZ reported. Bieber’s team was told that the show would be held near the convention arena, and that LeBron James would be in attendance.

Bieber’s team contacted James, who said he would not be taking part and urged Bieber not to perform. Bieber ended up turning down the deal, which would have paid him $5 million.
