President Trump greets American prisoners freed by North Korea:

After addressing the return of the three American detainees, Trump was asked about the prospects of making a deal with Kim Jong Un.

“I really think he wants to do something and bring his country into the real world,” Trump said.

“I think this will be a very big success. It’s never been taken this far, there’s never been a relationship like this.”

“Some great things can happen, and that’s what we hope,” he added.

Trump said the release of the three men was part of working towards the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Trump is now on Marine One leaving Joint Base Andrews. The detainees are expected to be extensively debriefed before they can head home to their families

A black Yale graduate student took a nap in her dorm’s common room. So a white student called police:

A white person voices suspicions about an innocuous person of color. Police are summoned. And the encounter is posted on social media, sparking outrage about racial profiling.

In what is becoming an all-too familiar episode, a black Yale University graduate student was interrogated by campus police officers early Tuesday morning after a white student found her sleeping in a common room of their dorm and called police.
The black student, Lolade Siyonbola, posted two videos of the encounter to Facebook, where they have been widely viewed and drawn thousands of comments.
“I deserve to be here. I pay tuition like everybody else,” an annoyed Siyonbola told responding officers in one video after they asked for her ID. “I’m not going to justify my existence here.”

Taylor Swift: ‘I went through some really low times’:

Taylor Swift launched her concert tour Tuesday talking about her reputation.

The superstar singer kicked off her Reputation Stadium Tour in Glendale, Arizona, and opened up a bit about her trademark snake imagery.
“A couple of years ago, someone called me a snake on social media, and it caught on,” Swift said, according to video tweeted by a fan. “Then, a lot of people were calling me a lot of things on social media. And I went through some really low times for awhile because of it. I went through some times when I didn’t know if I was going to get to do this anymore.”

Hawaii could face volcanic smog, acid rain — and blast projectiles:

After surviving earthquakes and molten lava, residents of Hawaii’s Big Island now have new threats to worry about: steam-driven explosions, hazardous volcanic smog and acid rain.

The US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory on Wednesday warned of possible explosive eruptions in the coming weeks. That could happen because as lava continues to sink in a lake inside a Kilauea crater, an influx of groundwater could interact with the lava to create steam explosions.
Those forces would emit “ballistic projectiles” — as small as pebbles or weighing up to several tons. The agencies also said ash clouds would rise to greater elevations, dispensing ash over wider areas.
“At this time, we cannot say with certainty that explosive activity will occur, how large the explosions could be, or how long such explosive activity could continue,” an advisory said.

John McEnroe: Donald Trump Offered Me $1M to Play Serena or Venus Williams:

Former tennis star and current commentator John McEnroe said on In Depth with Graham Bensinger that Donald Trump once offered him $1 million to play a match against Serena or Venus Williams.

“I was calling a match and suddenly I get this envelope, and it’s from Donald Trump, who is promoter galore. … So he wrote me a letter, it went, ‘Dear John, I want to offer you $1 million to play either Serena or Venus.
