• Queerty: Actor, writer, and comedian Drew Droege chats about his Off-Broadway hit play Messy White Gays, a dark Hitchcock-inspired comedy that’s quickly become one of the most talked-about shows in New York theater.

• What To Watch: Season 2 of the Emmy Award-winning medical procedural The Pitt is here, following another shift at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s ER for Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) and his team. I absolutely loved the first season. On HBO Max now.

• Politico: The Trump administration’s quick, aggressive response to the Minnesota ICE shooting has prompted quiet concern among some White House allies. Homeland Security Sec.
