Cool beans: The Washington Spirit and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts team up!
https://twitter.com/WashSpirit/status/1520037762728144897Washington, D.C., (04/29/2022) – Today the Washington Spirit announces its 2022 front-of-jersey partner, effective at the start of the regular season on Sunday, May 1. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will take center stage on the defending NWSL champions’ 10th Anniversary Kit. It is the first partnership of its kind for the nation’s performing arts center.
This new partnership aligns with the Washington Spirit’s focus on being a proud representative of our nation’s capital and deepens its support for and involvement in the greater Washington, D.C. community. “The arts and sports have both served as unifying beacons of light in the District throughout a colorful and illustrious history. Whether it be through the long list of world-class athletes who have competed for DC, the 12 league championships the District’s seven major professional sports teams have combined for or the seemingly unending list of acclaimed operas, musicals, festivals, dance and theatrical performances, Washington, D.C. is known across the nation as a unique cultural hotspot,” says Washington Spirit Majority Owner Michele Kang. “We’re honored to partner with the Kennedy Center and are excited to bolster the connection between the sports and arts communities in this region.”
“As we celebrate the Center’s rich history and look to the future of the arts during our 50th anniversary, we are honored to participate in an unprecedented partnership with this team of champions,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter. “This collaboration with Washington Spirit creates an opportunity for the Center and the team to shift the way our audiences experience the relationship between the arts and sports in the city.”
Recognizing the multitude of ways in which sports and the arts can intersect, The Kennedy Center and the Washington Spirit will collaborate closely to provide opportunities for fans and supporters to experience both. This first-of-its-kind programming-centric, content-driven partnership seeks to further the Kennedy Center’s wide-range of artistic offerings while elevating women’s professional sports regionally, nationally and globally.

CNN Exclusive: New text messages reveal Fox's Hannity advising Trump White House and seeking directi
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Fox's Sean Hannity exchanged more than 80 text messages between Election Day 2020 and Joe Biden's January 2021 inauguration, communications that show Hannity's evolution from staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump's election lies to being "fed up" with the "lunatics" hurting Trump's cause in the days before January 6.
CNN obtained Meadows' 2,319 text messages, which he selectively provided in December to the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. While the logs show Meadows communicating with multiple Fox personalities, as well as a number of journalists from other organizations, Hannity stands out with 82 messages. The texts, including dozens of newly disclosed messages, offer a real-time window into how Hannity, a close friend of Trump, was reacting to the election and its aftermath.
Throughout the logs, Hannity both gives advice and asks for direction, blurring the lines between his Fox show, his radio show and the Trump White House.
On the afternoon of Election Day, Hannity texted Meadows at 1:36 p.m. to ask about turnout in North Carolina. Two hours later, Meadows responded: "Stress every vote matters. Get out and vote. On radio."

Putin Accepts Invitation to Attend G20 Summit, Setting Up Biden Showdown
Source: Newsweek
Russian President Vladimir Putin has accepted an invitation to take part in a G20 summit later this year in Indonesia, Indonesian President Joko Widodo, the current G20 chair, said on Friday.
Speaking from the Bogor Presidential Palace in West Java, the Indonesian leader said his Russian counterpart told him personally that he would attend the G20 summit in Bali this fall.
The news comes weeks after U.S. President Joe Biden said Russia should be removed from the G20 over Putin's decision to invade Ukraine on February 24.
Biden and Putin could meet for the first time in person at the meeting since the beginning of the Russo-Ukraine war, if the Russian leader does attend.
