Expect a much cooler afternoon than what the District saw yesterday, with a high of 72 degrees and lots of cloud cover.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • Planned Parenthood is sponsoring a protest in front of the Supreme Court today at noon, rallying against the spate of strict anti-abortion bills passed in a number of state legislatures this spring. “While Alabama may be the latest assault on abortion rights, we have seen 15 state bans over the last five months. This isn’t a coincidence—this is an attempt to ban abortion outright,” the organization says in a press release.

  • The effort to recall Jack Evans from office can move forward, the D.C. Board of Elections decided.

  • Who runs the ubiquitous Twitter account @unsuckDCmetro, and why has the person behind it gotten away with anonymity for so long? DCist writer Rachel Kurzius tackles those questions in an examination of the evolving role the account has played in transportation accountability.

  • And, speaking of Metro, its board approved the extension of Yellow Line service to Greenbelt, which will begin a month early this summer.

  • Should the D.C. Council allow some D.C. residents to write parking tickets? The Post’s Petula Dvorak thinks not.
