A pardon for you! And a pardon for you!: |
| President Trump said this morning that he's considering pardoning the late boxing champion Muhammad Ali. In Trump's words: "He was not very popular then; his memory is very popular now. I'm thinking about Muhammad Ali. I'm thinking about that very seriously." http://bit.ly/2JxZ6tB Back story: Ali refused to serve in the Vietnam War because of religious objections. He was stripped of his heavyweight title and was sentenced to five years in prison. His conviction was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court. http://bit.ly/2JxZ6tB |

| LATEST WITH NEXT WEEK'S NORTH KOREA SUMMIT | |
It's the Kim Jong Un show: |
| President Trump is now planning to leave the Group of Seven summit early to travel directly to Singapore for his highly anticipated meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. When he's leaving Canada: Saturday mid-morning. What about the rest of the G-7? A White House aide will then represent the U.S. http://bit.ly/2Htd76D Sorry, Dennis: President Trump said NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman is not invited to the meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In Trump's words: "I like him. He's a nice guy. No, he was not invited." http://bit.ly/2JmAvZe ^^I'll be around just in case you change your mind! :) Rodman is traveling to Singapore anyway. "He is willing to offer his support for his friends, President Trump and Marshall Kim Jong Un," Rodman's agent said. https://cnn.it/2JDg49P Bad day to be a Kim Jong Un impersonator: A Kim Jong Un impersonator was detained and questioned for two hours at the Singapore Airport. http://bit.ly/2HtJphS |

CAPS LOCK: |
|
The Washington Capitals have won their first Stanley Cup, defeating the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
Yikes -- congrats, Ovi: "Alex Ovechkin gets his 1st Stanley Cup after 607 regular season goals." For context: "only 2 players had more goals at the time of their 1st Stanley Cup." http://bit.ly/2kTZSmx Here's a time lapse of Ovi in the NHL: It's pretty cool. http://bit.ly/2HxaNLK Some context: This was the Caps' 28th (!) appearance in the playoffs. http://bit.ly/2y2b0Yb D.C. freebies: Here's a list of deals in the Washington, D.C., area to celebrate the Caps' win. Like: Z-Burger is giving out free burgers until 3 p.m. Full list: https://on.wusa9.com/2HtyF32 So, when is the parade?!: D.C. Deputy Mayor Kevin Donahue hinted that the parade will take place next week. He tweeted: "PS -- Your employee will also be taking a sick day next week for a victory parade." The full tweet is pretty funny: http://bit.ly/2xQ7sIa I <3 parades: Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis commented on the parade following the Caps' win. "I think it's going to be much bigger than everyone is expecting." https://es.pn/2sErSiy Hooooo boy: "The last time DC won a championship in one of the four major sports, George H.W. Bush was president, the USSR had just collapsed, the Wizards were still the Bullets, Alex Ovechkin was six years old and Donald Trump's Atlantic City properties were in or heading to bankruptcy court." (Via The New York Times's Peter Baker) http://bit.ly/2JvQdgz This a.m. -- Whatever: This morning, President Trump weighed in on whether the Caps will be invited to the White House. "You know my attitude. If they want to be here, it's the greatest on Earth," he said of teams visiting the White House. "If they don't want to be here, I don't want them." http://bit.ly/2JFluB7 Video of Washington, D.C., right after the Caps won: http://bit.ly/2HxiOQS |

| Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel are playing a one-on-one basketball game.
