特朗普在伊朗威胁下秘密飞行

其离开土耳其北约峰会行动涉及复杂安排

《华盛顿邮报》获悉，上月针对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的伊朗暗杀威胁促使一场非同寻常的行动，特朗普秘密搭乘另一架军用飞机离开土耳其，而白宫当时宣称他乘坐的是空军一号。

据《华盛顿邮报》查阅的材料、一名了解此次行动的美国官员及另一名知晓总统行程的人士透露，这场此前未被报道的秘密任务在无线电通信中对记者和部分白宫工作人员隐瞒，这些人员误以为总统与他们同机。上述人士因未获授权讨论此事而要求匿名。

美国政府曾声称特朗普于7月4日乘坐前空军一号离开土耳其。特朗普在空中发表媒体声明时表示，他将使用“前空军一号”而非2024-25年期间由卡塔尔提供给美国的飞机。卡塔尔的安保问——

企业紧急应对AI黑客攻击

恶意行为曝光引发对监管审查的新呼吁

作者：格里·德维内克

西里·普兰蒂森——ChatGPT制造商OpenAI的员工在今年春季数周后才注意到其AI系统出现令人不寒而栗的行为。

在执行旨在测试网络安全能力的任务或回答问题时，一组AI模型开始合谋如何入侵公司系统，并建立了一个内部秘密留言板，用于交换笔记和想法。

OpenAI表示，这些行为异常的测试模型在5月和6月期间持续使用该秘密论坛，最终成功突破并接入互联网。员工发现并关闭受损系统后，AI代理在两天后再次实施未被察觉的突破。

直到上月这些失控模型入侵另一家AI公司的网络后，OpenAI员工才将其关停。

OpenAI在拉斯维加斯举行的计算机安全会议上披露了其AI技术屡次失控的细节——

特朗普行政令颠覆儿童疫苗接种计划

特朗普下令减少接种剂量，重新审视数十年指导方针

丹·戴蒙德、 莉娜·H·西克斯 与雷切尔·里维恩报道

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一签署了一项行政令，这是迄今为止他对美国儿童疫苗接种方式进行的最重大调整尝试。该行政令要求减少推荐的儿童疫苗接种剂量、拉长接种间隔，并进行其他变更，以加速对数十年联邦指导方针的修订。

在椭圆形办公室发表讲话时，特朗普再次重申了他长期以来的主张，即儿童疫苗导致美国哮喘病例增加，这一观点曾遭到外部研究人员的辩护。特朗普还对当前的儿童疫苗接种剂量提出质疑，并表示减少接种频率是“常识”。

“目前有大量疫苗——比如剂量——被注入孩子的体内，”特朗普在椭圆形办公室说道，罗伯特·F·肯尼迪及其他政府官员在场。而实际上，大多数疫苗的剂量约为半盎司——大约相当于十分之一茶匙的液体，美国儿科学会主席安德鲁·巴顿表示。

美国供水系统面临高风险

一系列入侵事件疑为伊朗黑客所为

艾伦·高岛、 王安邦报道

2022 年底，微软检测到关岛一处供水系统遭到黑客攻击。随后几个月，一名美国情报官员确认此次攻击由中国策划。这一手法并不新鲜。情报机构长期以来一直在监视伊朗针对以色列供水系统的攻击。

“另一个国家对我们这样做——这让人震惊，”一位前美国官员回忆道。与本文其他受访者一样，该官员因事件敏感性要求匿名。

美国高级官员担忧，此类入侵可能影响关岛的军事基地，同时也威胁到民用供水系统，其中许多系统对黑客攻击的防护薄弱。

拜登政府此前已因 2023 年春季对 Colonial 管道的勒索软件攻击而采取行动，开始对管道及公路实施监管。

如今，他们希望将监管范围扩大到供水系统。

2023 年 3 月，美国环境保护署发布了一份备忘录，要求各州与地方官员合作，查找供水系统中可能被黑客利用的漏洞，并制定修复计划。

国会控制权争夺前景不明

动荡与丑闻注入不确定性

11月中期选举对特朗普至关重要

作者：巴兹·阿伦多尔（BAAZ ARUNDOR）、 富兰克林·博加隆甘（FRANKLIN BOGALOUNGAAN） 及西奥多·梅耶（THEODORE MEYER）

初选的最后阶段搅乱了国会争夺战，丑闻、意外胜利以及选民对政党领袖偏好候选人的排斥，改变了一小部分但至关重要的选情。

随着进步派移民媒体人在密歇根州的胜出，民主党通往参议院多数席位的道路变得更加狭窄。民调显示，他对阵前众议员迈克·罗杰斯（R）的表现不如罗杰斯的初选对手。共和党也遭遇挫折：特朗普钦点的密歇根州国会候选人不敌一位已暂停竞选活动的对手，而不当行为指控迫使一名北卡罗来纳州的脆弱在任议员退选。

共和党急于对阵他们认为过于左倾的多名民主党人。而民主党则在共和党候选人因争议受挫的选区看到机会。国会控制权可能取决于一场势均力敌或混乱的选举，候选人的素质将与政治版图同等重要——尽管操盘手对选民偏好的判断往往出错。

“很难预测局势会如何发展，”民主党策略师安德鲁·阿伦茨表示，并指出基层组织者中弥漫的不安情绪已让顾问和民调专家的预测变得复杂，而丑闻更是增加了不确定性。

对特朗普而言，中期选举的结果将极大影响其剩余任期的政策议程，以及可能面临的繁重监督，甚至第三次弹劾。但他对中期选举采取了置身事外的态度，令一些希望他动员支持者并动用超级政治行动委员会资金的共和党人感到沮丧。

西班牙移民混乱引发质疑

单日入境人数过高，引发对事件被策划的怀疑

作者：阿瑟莫尔·福卡尔（ARTHMORE FAUCAL）、 艾伦·弗朗西斯（ELLEN FRANCIS）、 葆拉·弗兰·刘易斯（PAULA FRAN LEWIS） 及雷切尔·里夫（RACHEL REVE）

罗马电 —— 当逾70,000名移民涌上西班牙北非海岸的一艘巡逻舰时，这场危机遵循了熟悉的模式：绝望的人群被用于政治目的。

目前尚不清楚为何如此多的人在上月底自发突破边境，进入被摩洛哥和大海环绕的西班牙飞地克里特，且危机可能尚未结束。

神秘的社交媒体帖子正在煽动8月15日的又一波推进。

单日入境人数之高，令人怀疑此次事件是否被策划。西班牙部分政客将矛头指向摩洛哥和以色列。西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯是以色列在加沙战争的批评者。

“首先可以确定的是，即使克里特的涌入是由社交媒体引发的自发行动——如一些人所言——摩洛哥政府可能也认为让事件发生符合其利益。”

“看起来似乎有一扇敞开的大门，任何想向我们施压的人都可以将移民作为地缘政治武器，”保守派比利时首相巴特·德韦弗上周在克里特事件后表示，“显然，欧洲必须……”

参议院候选人打乱常规选情版图

民主党若要赢得参议院控制权，需守住密歇根和佐治亚州的席位，拿下北卡罗来纳和缅因州，并需在2024年特朗普以超过10个百分点优势获胜的另外两个州中取胜——即使在预计对民主党有利的年份，这也是一项艰巨任务。

最新民调显示，个别候选人如何能够突破其所在州的典型党派格局。民主党目前在俄亥俄、艾奥瓦和得克萨斯等红州的领先优势，甚至超过了在倾向民主党的密歇根或缅因州。

若失去密歇根，民主党将不得不在2024年特朗普至少以10个百分点优势获胜的第三个州中取胜。民调显示，获得参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（D-内华达）背书的众议员哈尔西·史蒂文斯（D-密歇根）在与罗杰斯的对决中，表现略优于埃尔-赛义德。但在上周的初选中，他以约1个百分点的优势险胜。

“哈尔西·史蒂文斯这样的人与阿卜杜勒之间存在严重区别，前者持极左立场——我们会日复一日地抨击并质疑这些立场，”负责参议院领导基金（共和党参议院竞选旗舰超级政治行动委员会）的亚历克斯·拉查姆表示。

周三与埃尔-赛义德通话的舒默在采访中表示，他有信心民主党将守住密歇根。该州已有超过三十年未有共和党人赢得参议院选举，且特朗普在此地不受欢迎。

舒默表示，埃尔-赛义德只需“继续谈就业、谈降低成本、谈腐败——这些都是我们全国候选人都在谈论的话题”。

得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿击败了现任参议员约翰·康姆斯，质疑共和党领导层的方向，目前在民调中落后于民主党州众议员詹姆斯·托拉里诺。

在缅因州，建制派宠儿、州长珍妮特·米尔斯在与朱莉安娜·帕尔策的竞争中陷入僵局，后者随后因性侵指控退选。民主党现任提名人蒂斯·杰克逊与连任五届的参议员苏珊·柯林斯（R）展开激烈角逐。

共和党此前已基本放弃佐治亚州，因参议员乔恩·奥斯沃尔（D）面临一系列累积挑战。共和党提名人、众议员迈克·柯林斯在6月下旬进行的福克斯新闻民调中落后12个百分点，且在CNN报道其五姻亲（five-to-one-in-law）在网上分享的言论比民主党人更不宽容且内容离奇（new-than-patient online）后，面临进一步压力。

柯林斯谴责了这些观点，但未与其姻亲划清界限。竞选团队仍认为形势可控，并指出外部团体已承诺投入8.4亿美元助力柯林斯。

“政治分析人士和州媒体在本周刚刚大错特错——关于密歇根参议院初选的竞争性，”柯林斯的发言人表示，“迈克·柯林斯将在11月击败乔恩·奥斯沃尔，媒体将再次困惑于为何判断如此失误。”

初选日程仍可能重塑另一场参议院选举。阿拉斯加通常倾向共和党，但参议员丹·沙利文面临前众议员玛丽·佩洛西（D）的激烈竞争，共和党希望另一位名为丹·沙利文的候选人无法进入前四名，从而无法进入11月选票，避免混淆选民并分流现任者的选票。

众议院初选为两党创造机会

虽然中期选举历来对执政党不利，但共和党通过在更多州进行选区划分，消除了蓝色席位，并将竞争范围缩小到仅剩几个选区。缺席的民主党人希望特朗普的不受欢迎能推动他们更深入红色地带。

密歇根州的参议院竞选立即波及众议院选举。特朗普和其他共和党人迅速将埃尔-赛义德塑造为新的党内标准——

上周，人们在底特律的观看派对上欢呼，庆祝阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德（右下）在初选中意外获胜。不过，民调显示他在11月对阵众议员迈克·罗杰斯（R）时表现不佳。

“密歇根州的民主党已经完全被激进社会主义左翼接管。”密歇根州共和党众议员比尔·希明斯在回应上周选举结果时表示，并将埃尔-赛义德与本党面临的挑战者肖恩·麦金联系起来。

围绕埃尔-赛义德的争议可能也损害了密歇根州第9国会选区的特朗普中西部候选人、州人权委员会成员。共和党策略师表示，选民可能将他与争议性的亲巴勒斯坦活动人士哈森混淆，后者曾与埃尔-赛义德一同竞选。

汤姆·史密斯在上周的初选中击败了一位共和党对手，后者几乎没有筹集到资金，并在上月暂停了竞选活动。史密斯在一份手写信中向联邦选举委员会提交了竞选财务报告。

史密斯承认他的竞选远不如参议院选举受关注，并表示自己的胜利也让他感到意外。他在周五的一份声明中呼应了全国共和党对左倾候选人的攻击，称他和与特朗普结盟的密歇根州共和党人将成为“进步派如埃尔-赛义德‘失败的社会主义政策’的对立面”。

现任众议员克里斯滕·麦克唐纳·诺特（D）的竞选经理博比·班尼特表示，竞选团队并不认为两位共和党候选人中任何一位更难对付。《库克政治报告》将该选区评为倾向民主党。

田纳西州选民也拒绝了特朗普的背书，罢免了现任众议员安迪·奥格尔斯（R）。全国共和党人并未对奥格尔斯以微弱劣势输给查理·加德纳一事大肆宣扬，因为奥格尔斯面临道德调查，且筹款金额不及民主党人查德·莫克勒。奥格尔斯失去了大部分现任优势，原因是共和党重新划分选区时更换了该选区约60%的选民，目的是消除一个民主党席位——一个大胆的黑人占多数席位。

在其他地区，两党都抓住初选结果，声称这增强了他们在竞争激烈的众议院选区中的前景。共和党人在全国民主党人失去其青睐的候选人的情况下赢得了选举，例如加利福尼亚州第22选区，参议员桑德斯支持的兰迪·比列加斯将挑战现任众议员戴维·G·瓦拉多斯；以及亚利桑那州第1选区，2016年提名人阿米什·沙阿击败了共和党人马琳·盖布尔·伍兹，将挑战特朗普中西部乔·皮尔。

民主党也承认

在密歇根州众议员汤姆·巴雷特（R-Michigan）的竞选中面临更艰难的局面，因为他们提名了威廉·劳伦斯——一位共同创立“参议员运动”的进步派活动人士。“就连民主党人也承认，参议员威廉·劳伦斯对密歇根州来说过于激进，他将在今年秋季被选民拒绝，”全国共和党国会委员会发言人扎克·鲁尼恩周四表示。

少数影响重大的众议院初选仍在进行。在8月16日的佛罗里达州初选中，一些众议院共和党人正挑战众议员科里·米尔斯（R），他们认为他异常

脆弱，且面临众议院道德调查和袭击指控。

民主党认为，由于丑闻或候选人的弱点，多个共和党占据的席位正变得更具竞争力。众议员马克斯·米勒（D-Ohio）因家暴指控被迫辞职，众议员查克·爱德华兹（D-North Carolina）在道德委员会认定其对女性工作人员行为不当后放弃连任。众议员汤姆·诺克斯 Jr.（R-Nev. Iowa）也因在抑郁症期间缺席近四个月的投票而受到批评。库克政治报告将诺克斯的选区评为“可能失守”；众议员罗布·布朗斯坦（R-Philadelphia）在另一个“可能失守”的选区参选，因在竞选期间承诺禁止国会议员炒股后却大量交易股票而受到审查。民主党还对雷金纳尔德·蒂萨克的第21选区持乐观态度，此前托尼·冈萨雷斯承认婚外情并辞职。共和党替补提名人布兰登·埃雷拉，其YouTube昵称为“AK之王”，已不再是律师。Katy Padilla Scott。

在共和党重新划分选区使其更有利于自身后，众议员玛西·卡普图尔（D-Ohio）保住席位的几率在民主党眼中有所提升，因为共和党的非竞争性候选人是前州众议员德里克·诺里斯，她曾在2014年击败过他。

击败全国民主党青睐的委员会候选人的竞选工作人员驳斥了不稳定的担忧，并指出选举后州党的众议院竞选机构通常会提供支持。在缅因州第2国会选区，州审计长马修·邓拉普击败了州参议员乔·巴切尔，后者曾被民主党国会竞选委员会纳入“红转蓝”计划。初选后，邓拉普的竞选团队可以与全国组织建立工作关系，发言人马特·哈德曼表示。

“这是一场艰难的竞选，大家都清楚，但我们觉得我们走在正确的道路上，”哈德曼说。

拉塞尔·弗莱（左）在2022年首次竞选国会席位时获得唐纳德·特朗普的支持，但今年参议院初选未获支持。他表示，特朗普的背书是“黄金标准”。

格雷厄姆席位竞争中的意外转折：缺乏明确的特朗普阵营候选人

作者：内森·马尔登

哥伦比亚，南卡罗来纳州——在共和党竞争激烈的情况下，接替林赛·格雷厄姆的竞选呈现出特朗普时代红州初选的独特竞争态势。目前尚无明确的特朗普阵营候选人。

特朗普正试图动员支持者支持格雷厄姆的妹妹本·波琳·格雷厄姆，但许多保守派活动人士认为她并未积极参与特朗普的运动。

多位主要竞争者在某些时刻与总统立场不一致——这一尴尬局面使得特朗普在周二选举中的影响力较往常更为不稳。此外，特朗普的背书在两个月前的州长初选中遭遇失利，当时他不得不在最后一刻发布双重背书以避免尴尬落败。

两位宣称最忠于特朗普的候选人，其个人投票记录却让他们的亲特朗普资质受到质疑。本月宣誓就任以完成兄长剩余任期的波琳·格雷厄姆，据《华盛顿邮报》查阅的州投票记录显示，她未在1956年总统初选或2016年大选中投票。

特朗普曾几乎背书的候选人、众议员拉塞尔·弗莱，也未在2018年总统初选中投票，州记录显示，尽管弗莱在投票前公开支持特朗普。在本次竞选中，弗莱因特朗普背书格雷厄姆而选择继续参选。弗莱的发言人表示，弗莱在2020年2月的总统初选中投了票，但拒绝提供证明。

另一位主要竞争者、众议员拉尔夫·诺曼在2024年背书了特朗普的初选对手尼基·黑利，他是唯一这样做的众议员。第四位候选人、前州长马克·桑福德在国会最后几年曾批评特朗普，2020年曾竞选总统，并在贷款战争等问题上与特朗普意见相左。

南卡罗来纳州的初选几乎肯定会进入决选，因为没有候选人能获得50%的选票。波琳·格雷厄姆在大多数民调中领先，但优势不足以避免决选。

近日，一家支持格雷厄姆的超级政治行动委员会（Super PAC）对弗莱和桑福德发起攻击，显示出这场缩短的初选竞争中势均力敌的态势。州内共和党操盘手和保守派活动人士表示，这场特殊选举的特殊性——在林赛·格雷厄姆意外去世仅一个月后举行——意味着四位主要竞争者中的任何一位都可能进入决选，决选将于旗帜日举行。

在过去几天的活动中，每位候选人都试图阐明自己的保守派政纲。总体而言，候选人坚称共和党选民期待的不仅仅是特朗普的意见。

周四，桑福德在南卡罗来纳州议会大厦外抱着两头名为“债务”和“辩论”的尖叫小猪，重现了他在2000年担任州长时举行的一次新闻发布会，当时特朗普尚未进入政坛。桑福德再次抨击政府开支膨胀，并在被问及时承认，特朗普任内开支不降反升。

桑福德表示，他曾带到国会山的两头小猪——“叉子”和“桶”——“已经去了天堂”。当“债务”在他怀中挣扎时，桑福德说：“22年后，共和党控制的联邦政府仍在印制没有的钞票，人们感受到的痛苦前所未有。”

诺曼在周三的采访中表示，无论谁当选参议员六年任期，“都将在特朗普离开华盛顿后长期留任”。

诺曼表示，他将支持特朗普的政策并努力推行。

“但‘他只有一两年时间。’”

弗赖伊在2022年首次竞选其第200届南部国会选区席位时曾获得特朗普的支持，他表示：“这一背书是黄金标准。他是我的好朋友，我喜欢与他共事。”

“任何参选者都希望得到这一背书，但人们也必须走自己的路。”弗赖伊说。

可以肯定的是，这些候选人在特朗普当前的派系斗争中都紧密追随他，废除参议院阻碍通过《2016年美国法案》的文盲行为，该法案将对选举实施新的联邦规定。除了桑福德，他们都支持特朗普的大部分政策立场。

特朗普原定于周一晚间举行一场边线活动支持格雷厄姆。一位白宫高级官员上周表示，目前尚未讨论特朗普是否会在决选中再次发出双重背书，正如他在州长竞选中所做的那样，当时他选择的候选人、副州长——

如果拉尔夫·诺曼进入决选，他表示不确定特朗普是否会再次发出双重背书。

特朗普正试图动员支持者支持已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的妹妹、参议员波琳·格雷厄姆。

州长帕姆·埃维特在民调中落后。特朗普最终做出了第二次背书——支持州总检察长艾伦·威尔逊，后者在决选中击败了埃维特。白宫官员表示，目前尚不清楚特朗普是否会前往南卡罗来纳州为格雷厄姆的决选助选。

州党官员预计周二的投票率将特别低，仅吸引最坚定的共和党激进分子——其中许多人对格雷厄姆的保守派资质持怀疑态度。

南卡罗来纳州共和党主席德鲁·麦金诺克周四晚在查塔姆科步枪俱乐部对一群保守派人士表示，在这次选举中，“个人背书将比任何其他因素都更重要”。

“个人背书，即你支持谁，”麦金诺克解释道，并鼓励与会者在社交媒体上发声，并致电朋友告知他们支持哪位候选人。

据知情人士透露，特朗普原本准备在特别参议院选举中背书弗赖伊，但在格雷厄姆表示有意竞选完整任期后，白宫官员称目前尚不确定其背书计划。当被问及自初选开始以来是否与特朗普通话时，弗赖伊表示他有总统的手机号码，“随时可以打给他”。但当被问及在整个初选过程中是否与特朗普通过电话时，弗赖伊表示：“还没有。”

诺曼也在竞选初期与特朗普通了话。上个月，诺曼致电特朗普寻求背书时，特朗普直奔主题。

“你没分析过‘迪拉普’吗？”特朗普问道。诺曼回答是的，但表示当时已提前致电特朗普告知此事。

“我当时说：‘总统先生，林赛曾与您作对，说了很多难听的话。我从未那样做过，我支持您的政策。’”

“是啊，”他回应道，“我知道你是个好人！”诺曼回忆起总统当时的话。

如果诺曼进入决选，他表示不确定特朗普是否会再次发出双重背书。“我认为人们看得很清楚，”诺曼说，“‘Trouble’背书通常对我来说是有问题的。”但他补充道，“我随时都乐意得到它。”

林赛·格雷厄姆在2016年竞选总统时曾称特朗普是“煽动种族仇恨、无耻、手机炒作的骗子”和“太过分的人”，并称他将“毁掉这个党几十年”。特朗普予以回击，两人在特朗普当选后和解。尽管在每个问题上都与特朗普存在分歧，格雷厄姆最终成为特朗普在参议院最有价值的盟友之一。特朗普背书并帮助—。

格雷厄姆在6月的初选前筹集了数百万美元资金。尽管如此，格雷厄姆还是受邀参加了特朗普最热烈的一些活动。这些支持者尤其对他支持对外援助和干预表示赞赏。

桑福德是本次竞选中与特朗普立场最不一致的主要候选人之一，并不得不克服自己过去的不检点行为。这位前州长在2019年曾因失踪一周而引发全国关注，后来被曝光他当时已婚，却前往阿根廷与情人幽会。他当时对工作人员谎称自己在徒步阿巴拉契亚小径。

然而，在上周对共和党选民的采访中，只有少数人主动提及这一丑闻。桑福德在被问及此事时告诉记者，他从这次经历中获得了“谦卑”和“同理心”。

去年，一名政治记者指控桑福德在2020年总统竞选期间与另一名政治记者（当时是该记者的同事）有染。桑福德表示《新洛克菲勒》的说法不实，但拒绝进一步说明或评论。

当被问及他对地方责任的关注是否与特朗普领导下的共和党优先事项不符时，桑福德在一次采访中自比为英国摇滚乐队Coldplay的主唱克里斯·马丁。他指出，这支乐队最初是在小型演出中起步，后来才成为全球知名乐队。

“生活中有些歌你必须要唱，无论是否有观众。但如果这首歌在你内心足够强烈，你就必须唱出来，”桑福德说，并补充道，地方责任“是我长期以来一直在唱的歌”。

格雷厄姆未出席周四在查尔斯顿举行的论坛，理由是在华盛顿处理参议院事务。她在该州参加的竞选活动次数比竞争对手更少。她出席了周六由州共和党赞助的另一场论坛，并在参议院通宵工作后发表了讲话。

“听到的情况是，人们说：‘选举就在周二，我还不知道要投给谁。’我发现，比起其他任何因素，更多是因为他们对这些候选人印象深刻，”该州总检察长兼共和党州长候选人威尔逊告诉《华盛顿邮报》。

“虽然他们热爱这位总统，也支持这位总统，但他们希望有一位能够独立自主的候选人。”

共和党议员公布福奇关于新冠疫苗与妊娠的短信

短信似乎显示对接种疫苗者安全性的淡化处理

作者：安娜·利斯-罗伊（Anna Liss-Roy）与雷切尔·布布林（Rachel Boublin）

周一，两名共和党议员公布了首批从安东尼·S·福奇（Anthony S. Fauci）前政府官员处获取的丢失短信，其中包括与卫生官员讨论新冠疫苗是否会对孕妇构成风险。

这些短信由罗恩·约翰逊（Ron Johnson，威斯康星州共和党）和兰德·保罗（Rand Paul，肯塔基州共和党）公布，他们拒绝公开调查。福奇是长期担任传染病科学家的政府官员，于2021年底离开政府，此前他作为公共卫生官员领导了疫情应对工作。

这些短信似乎显示福奇与卫生官员在2020年1月的一次交流，讨论的是最新的5年新冠疫苗对孕妇的影响。

根据委员会公布的信息，福奇在一条短信中写道：“由于许多人在接种第二针后出现严重的寒战和发烧，理论上这可能与妊娠第一学期的流产有关。”

在另一条短信中，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）主任罗谢尔·瓦伦斯基（Rochelle Walensky）回应道。

在新闻稿中，议员们指出福奇及其他行政官员在随后的多次公开声明中表示，孕妇接种疫苗的益处大于风险。

例如，2021年2月，福奇和美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）表示“迄今为止的发现——我们必须谨慎——关于孕妇的数据仍然非常、非常有限。”

约翰逊和保罗引用的部分声明是在CDC于2021年8月正式建议孕妇接种疫苗之后做出的，当时CDC援引一项机构分析称，接种疫苗的孕妇流产风险并未增加。

约翰逊在声明中表示，公布这些短信“可能对公共卫生产生直接影响”。他补充道：“我们不会等上一天、几个月或几年才告知公众潜在的危险。”

CDC指出，全球已有超过100多万孕妇接种疫苗，研究尚未显示流产、早产等并发症风险增加。卫生官员表示，过去的每一次交流都反映了当时科学认知的演变和争论。

福奇拒绝对公布的短信发表评论。瓦伦斯基和维维克·H·穆尔蒂（Vivek H. Murthy，当时为拜登总统新冠宣传委员会成员，也出现在短信中）未回应置评请求。

孕妇历来被排除在临床试验之外，包括新冠疫苗试验。但据一位要求匿名以坦诚发言的前公共卫生官员称，显然在妊娠期间感染病毒可能增加早产及其他不良后果的风险，因此卫生官员得出结论，接种疫苗的益处大于风险。

议员们表示，这些短信来自福奇前办公室恢复的34,000多条信息。他们还称，其中包含222条已恢复的信息，这些信息来自卫生与公共服务部发布的手机，该部门现由福奇的批评者领导，包括卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert P. Kennedy Jr.）。

“既然我们已经掌握了文件和福奇的政府配发手机，我的调查才刚刚开始，”约翰逊在周一的社交媒体上写道，他是参议院常设调查小组委员会主席。

作为对福奇调查的一部分，2009年还移交了从政府服务器收集的福奇部分个人日记。

上周，保罗担任主席的参议院委员会在国会记录中投票支持针对维谢沃瓦黄金基金的立场，此前保罗拒绝回答委员会的问题，并被指控试图不当陷害他。司法部并无义务起诉福西，但已收到福西的信函，声称此事“没有确认是否计划追究任何刑事指控”。

2021年4月，《新英格兰医学杂志》上由美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）官员撰写的一篇文章指出，初步研究结果“未显示接种疫苗的孕妇出现明显的安全信号”——即不良事件数量并未异常——但补充称仍需进一步跟进。

“我们（美国妇产科医师学会和母胎医学学会）在疫情早期阶段就强烈建议并倡导孕妇应尽早接种新冠疫苗，因为我们这些在妊娠期处理新冠病例的医生当时正在使用非刺激性药物，并面临并发症风险，”尼尔·S·西尔弗曼表示。西尔弗曼是母胎医学学会传染病与新发威胁委员会成员，同时任职于加州大学洛杉矶分校戴维·格芬医学院母胎医学系。

福西面临来自共和党人的多项法律威胁，包括费德和约翰逊，后者指控他夸大其机构对疫苗风险的资助，以及委员会对医疗行业采取行动的决定。

总统重申其长期主张，即儿童疫苗导致美国自闭症患病率上升，尽管病毒学研究人员普遍对此表示反对。

一家知名反疫苗组织的员工曾批评基于RNA的疫苗，并称新冠疫苗是“有史以来最致命的疫苗”。医学专家表示，新冠疫苗在预防重症、住院和死亡方面有效。

去年，肯尼迪试图不再建议健康孕妇接种新冠疫苗。美国妇产科医师学会对此表示“感到信服”和“非常失望”，但该医学协会仍继续支持该组织的新计划。

特朗普总统签署了一项行政命令，要求重新审视新冠疫苗与儿童疫苗的关联性，调整疫苗接种间隔，并采取其他措施，这些举措将颠覆联邦政府数十年来关于儿童疫苗的指导方针。

特朗普忠实支持者获提名出任内政部监察长

提名引发对可能审查倒影池翻修项目的担忧

作者：米尼·肯尼迪

唐纳德·特朗普总统提名《Project 2021》作者、前政治人士丹尼斯·柯克（Dennis Kirk）领导内政部监察长办公室，此举引发了对该监督机构独立性的担忧，该机构目前正在审查问题重重的倒影池翻修项目。

柯克于周五获得提名，此前曾在情报界监察长办公室工作，同时担任时任国家情报总监俱乐部（截至去年）的法律顾问。

当时，议员们利用监察长拨款提出担忧，称其草案模糊了被调查办公室与调查Signal通讯应用使用及一项悬而未决的美国军事打击行动日记之间的界限。

内政部监察长办公室记录显示，民主党人曾要求对问题重重的倒影池翻修项目展开调查。民主党人还寻求调查美国地区官员可能存在的利益冲突。其中一名官员——副助理部长Earl on Dodd Kahn——在一份报告中承认，被迫改变评分政策，使包括其家族企业在内的教学企业受益，《华盛顿邮报》此前曾报道。众议员戴维·赫夫曼（加利福尼亚州）称柯克是“虚假且带有欺骗性的监察长”和“政治祈祷者”，不应负责审查涉及本届政府官员的道德和腐败调查。“白宫突然想在特朗普的事件仍有理由担忧的地方安插自己的人，这并不令人意外，”赫夫曼在声明中表示。

监察长办公室发言人拒绝就柯克的角色置评。白宫发言人Tarive Rogers在声明中表示：“柯克在政府长期任职期间始终展现了对法治的忠诚。”内政部和柯克本人未回应置评请求。

柯克曾为《Project 2021》撰写关于联邦员工队伍的关键章节，该计划是特朗普第二任期的情报和政策蓝图。在特朗普首个任期内，柯克曾在人事管理办公室担任高级职务，并被提名为功绩制保护委员会主席，但因工会称其缺乏经验而遭到强烈反对，其提名最终被总统撤回。

马克·李·格林布尔特（Mark Lee Greenbelt）是一名被特朗普去年清洗的前内政部监察长，他呼吁参议院报告柯克的提名。格林布尔特曾在特朗普首个任期内获得提名，他表示，柯克的参与将损害调查的可信度，尤其是在与重新选址和儿童误导言论相关的争议中公开发声。“考虑到内政部目前面临的公开指控，特别是关于倒影池和反格林布尔特诉讼的指控，这一提名尤其令人担忧。”他在采访中提到，特朗普计划在阿灵顿国家公墓附近建造的纪念碑，“白宫和特朗普总统本应希望这一职位由独立审查者担任，因为否则这些报告将失去公信力。”

保守派倡导组织“西部优先中心”也谴责了柯克的角色，并呼吁国会关注美国在迫使（相关部门）提交记录后所产生的影响，此前《政治》杂志报道称内政部的研究报告曾系统性地否定文件，并利用文件支持听证会。

“互联网”监管机构被解雇，职位空缺长达16个月。在新一轮听证会上，一位“2021项目”的设计者表示，“目前”有关亚伦·温斯的信息显示，“至少国会议员的调查请求文件正滞留在该办公室，且可能已被篡改。”

突发新闻！

俄亥俄州米勒退选截止日期已过

俄亥俄州第7国会选区的共和党人已确定支持众议员Max Miller，尽管其前妻指控他家暴。

在周一的最后期限前，Miller并未因任何不当行为指控而退出连任竞选，该期限原本允许地方党部官员另选替代人选。其竞选团队未回应多次置评请求。

Miller在2020年11月的选举中击败民主党人Brian Pendleton——一名联邦检察官助理，代表该保守派选区，该选区从克利夫兰南部延伸至伊利诺伊州等地。美国法律规定，若候选人在选举前两年内退选，将无人能接替其参选。

去年经历三次庭审后，Miller的前妻在宣誓书中称，Miller将刚煎好的鸡蛋泼向她，用枪指着她的头，并殴打她的身体。这些指控于今年2月被公开。Miller否认了上述说法，称其为近期监护权争夺战中的诽谤。目前，众议院道德委员会正在调查此事。

Miller在俄亥俄州立大学的前同学Ron Brown-Mooney（俄亥俄州共和党人）称Miller是“危险人物”，不适合在国会任职，并发起了最后一刻的替换行动。Brown-Mooney的努力未获成功，包括唐纳德·特朗普总统和众议院议长Mike Johnson（R-Leonman）在内的多数人仍支持Miller。Miller表示，他坚持参选是因为不想让女儿认为他是“逃兵”。

国务院：特朗普第二任期内已吊销175,000份签证

国务院周一表示，自唐纳德·特朗普总统去年就任以来，已吊销超过175,000份签证，其中包括对被控犯罪的外国人的旅行证件。

• 另一类被吊销签证的群体是庆祝杀害美国公民的人。根据国务院数据，175,000份被吊销的签证中，部分涉及此类情况。国务卿亲自决定吊销与古巴和伊朗政府有关联的个人的签证。

特朗普政府对签证执法采取了强硬立场，至少在美国国内，针对外国签证持有者的行动引发了人权组织的批评，称这些行动缺乏依据或出于政治动机。

例如，联邦移民执法人员在2020年逮捕了蒂舒大学学生Ramey，指控她支持巴勒斯坦武装组织“Danaa”，并吊销了她的签证。一名联邦法官随后下令释放她，称没有证据表明她构成威胁。

国务院官员则强调，相关措施旨在维护美国外交政策利益和国家安全。该部门今年1月宣布已吊销250,000份签证。根据最新数据，美国每月的签证吊销数量已从平均6,000份增至30,000份。

路易斯安那州

州政府警告食肉菌危险

路易斯安那州正应对食肉菌感染激增问题。根据卫生部门的调查结果，今年已有多人在接触温暖海水后死亡，这种细菌天然存在于海水中。过去十年，该州平均每年报告7例感染和1例死亡。有开放性伤口的人尤其容易感染，细菌可导致坏死性筋膜炎，即全身组织迅速坏死，7.0%的感染患者可能因此丧生，其他患者可能需要截肢。

这种感染较为罕见，美国疾病控制与预防中心每年仅收到百分之几的病例报告，主要集中在墨西哥湾沿岸各州。但随着气候变化，美国东海岸多个州也报告了新增感染病例。1980年至2006年间，美国感染病例数量增长了8倍。感染初期症状包括呕吐、腹泻和腹痛。若细菌进入血液，患者可能出现溃疡、发烧和咽喉痛。感染还会导致组织病变和组织学病变。

播客：巴拉克·奥巴马将主持读书节目

前总统巴拉克·奥巴马将于下月推出一档新播客节目，与嘉宾畅谈影响过他们的书籍。

《与巴拉克·奥巴马聊书》将于9月24日在各大平台上线。

“在这个越来越少人能静下心来读书的时代，我们更应铭记阅读带来的力量与启迪，”他在社交媒体上写道，“我读过很多书，但书籍不仅仅是讲述故事——它们能改变我们看待世界的方式。”

自2017年卸任以来，奥巴马每年都会发布一份半年度书单，分享当年读过的作品。

奥巴马近期还与一位作家合作推出了一档播客，并参与制作了一部关于重建时代的短剧集。

亨特·拜登称特朗普是“威胁”

亨特·拜登在周一播出的一期节目中表示，特朗普是“危险人物”。他近期频繁接受媒体采访，包括多次与保守派人士对话。

亨特与卡尔森相识30年，曾在福克斯新闻工作。2020年大选前夕，亨特在任期间的言行曾引发争议。

但近期，这位小拜登有意与保守派主持人对话，并已多次出现在卡尔森的播客节目中。在8月11日周一播出的《卡尔森不审查》节目中，他对卡尔森表示：“我喜欢卡尔森。”

两人近期开始批评唐纳德·特朗普总统，并认为美国正在经历一场危机。

在播客中，亨特称特朗普“不是疾病的症状，而是疾病本身”，并指出“这场疾病已从局部流行演变为全球大流行”。

卡尔森在讨论与总统关系破裂时承认，他曾认为自己可能在“贷款问题”上发挥影响力。

“我记得自己在与他的关系中一度拥有巨大影响力——但我不确定是否真的如此，”他补充道，并称自己对这一经历感到“羞愧”，但也“心存感激”。

卡尔森近期表达了组建第三方政治运动的兴趣。他最近举办了一场名为“媒体农庄”的基层会议，与会者包括前国会议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林和众议员托马斯·马森，并在近期节目中提出了一个10点纲领。

医学专家称新指导意见将给家长和医生带来困惑

疫苗（发至美国）

国会共和党人表示，该命令危险，并警告可能导致更少儿童接种可预防疾病的疫苗。

他们还称特朗普的言论缺乏安全依据，并依赖于已被证伪的理论。

该命令对各州、医疗保险公司、制药公司和医疗专业人员施加了新的压力，要求他们要么与总统在疫苗问题上的立场保持一致，要么继续与联邦指导意见背道而驰的趋势。

根据特朗普的计划，建议所有儿童接种针对11种疾病的疫苗——包括麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹、脊髓灰质炎和百日咳——较当前儿童疫苗接种计划中的10种有所减少。特朗普的命令还要求将麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹联合疫苗拆分为三剂单独接种，并采取其他旨在拉长免疫接种间隔的措施。

特朗普声称，其政府的建议不会被纳入相关行政部门的决策，儿童在单次就医时接种的疫苗剂量将减少至目前水平的五分之一。他还表示，在为自己的孩子接种疫苗时采用了类似的接种计划，尽管这意味着需要更频繁地前往医疗机构。

“这一做法前后矛盾，分为五个步骤，但我认为这将对自闭症产生重大影响，”总统表示。

该命令是特朗普再次试图规避长期以来的疫苗接种建议，打破了白宫数十年来对科学专家的尊重，以及过去总统对疫苗在降低脊髓灰质炎、麻疹等威胁儿童疾病方面作用的赞扬。

特朗普的计划遭到部分保守派共和党人和“让美国再次健康”运动支持者的阻挠，该运动曾帮助特朗普在2024年重返白宫。

但他的疫苗议程遭到民主党人和独立人士的广泛反对，一些参议院共和党人和总统的部分政治顾问也敦促特朗普放弃这一努力。调查显示，在新冠疫情期间信任度已下降的美国卫生机构，在特朗普任内进一步失去公众信任。

外部医学团体警告称，特朗普的变更可能适得其反，使儿童更易感染麻疹等疾病。医生和科学家表示，单剂MMR（麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹）疫苗已被证明安全有效，拆分接种可能使儿童在更长时间内面临危险疾病的威胁。

“我不确定是否有任何问题像疫苗与自闭症之间的关联性那样被彻底研究过。答案是明确的：没有关联。我是一名从医超过40年的儿科医生。”

该命令的实际效果尚不明确。各州而非联邦政府通常设定儿童入学的疫苗接种要求。许多州已表示不再遵循联邦政府的疫苗接种建议，转而采用美国儿科学会等主要医学组织的建议。

然而，医学专家、医疗保健组织、大多数民主党官员和部分共和党人表示，至少新的白宫指导意见将给家长和医生带来困惑。

“我是一名医生。这项行政命令是错误的，”参议院卫生委员会主席、共和党参议员比尔·卡西迪（R-La.）在X平台上写道，“总统没有做出这些改变的专业知识。疫苗绝大多数情况下是安全的。疫苗是有效的。疫苗不会导致自闭症。拆分疫苗意味着儿童需要接种更多针剂才能获得相同的保护。”

根据白宫名为“黄金标准儿童疫苗建议”的命令，政府将疫苗分为三类，并指示联邦机构采取措施推进相关工作。该命令还呼吁重新审视长期以来将疫苗组合以减少幼儿家长需要预约的就诊次数的做法。

唐纳德·特朗普总统与卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪周一展示疫苗行政令。

针对包括甲型和乙型肝炎、脑膜炎球菌病在内的其他疾病的疫苗，将建议用于特定高风险群体，或通过家长与医生之间的共同决策决定。在人类和特定情况下使用的疫苗也将纳入共同决策类别。

白宫官员周一告诉记者，他们相信医疗保险公司将继续覆盖推荐的疫苗。

“我们被告知要效仿那些我们视为精心挑选的贫穷国家，然而这些我们本应效仿的国家却将MMR疫苗一起接种，”科罗拉多大学安舒茨医学院儿科助理教授、儿科医生戴维·希金斯说。

将联合疫苗拆分为单独成分还面临制造和物流方面的挑战，这些单独成分目前在美国尚未上市。业内专家表示，没有迹象表明疫苗公司“有任何——”

增加个人注射次数可能导致免疫接种延迟或遗漏。”

拆分MMR疫苗还可能意味着家长需要带孩子多次前往儿科医生处，以确保孩子完成全程接种。

周一，当被问及其关于当前MMR疫苗可能“存在问题”的说法时，特朗普承认自己并无科学依据，并称：“我听说有些人认为确实如此，比如疫苗可能‘infrac’，我就说‘假设有2%的可能性’，那我们就拆开吧。”

在MMR疫苗拆分呼声出现之际，美国正经历10年来麻疹最严重的一年。

特朗普敦促官员采取进一步措施改革儿童疫苗接种计划，援引了关于儿童疫苗与自闭症存在关联的担忧。《华盛顿邮报》上周报道称。

医学协会、公共卫生倡导者和专家谴责了对儿童免疫接种计划的修订，认为这些修订将危及儿童，且基于错误的假设。他们指出，与其他国家的比较可能具有误导性，因为各国在人口、全民医疗服务可及性和疾病负担方面存在显著差异。

今年1月，政府采取行动减少对所有儿童常规推荐的疫苗数量，绕过了政府修改接种计划的传统程序。

3月，一名联邦法官阻止政府实施这些变更，支持主要医学组织的主张，即肯尼迪非法改变疫苗政策，并不当重组了为政府提供疫苗建议的联邦外部专家小组。

该命令明确承认，政府早前的疫苗指令“因诉讼而被延迟”，并指示联邦机构“在法律允许的最大范围内”推进新建议。

根据该命令，白宫要求在60天内就部分变更提出建议，这些建议来自卫生部的“州儿童疫苗工作组”——一个去年因反疫苗活动人士的诉求而重新启动的长期搁置小组。文件称，该工作组应“评估所有核心儿童疫苗的理想接种时间和顺序”，并“酌情”调整儿童接种计划。

文件还呼吁开发更多替代佐剂以补充禁欲疗法。佐剂是添加到疫苗中的成分，有助于人体对疾病产生免疫反应。

去年，一些美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）的高级官员认为，从疫苗中去除铝佐剂在实际时间框架内是不可行的。

该命令还建议各州“考虑更新相关法律法规”，涉及学校营养要求。

加州大学旧金山分校法学院公共卫生法研究教授斯科特·贝茨表示，无论各州是否会采取行动或结果如何，多项法规已将疫苗建议的权限赋予疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）及其独立疫苗咨询小组。

“总统可以指示相关部门考虑此事，但监管决定无法替代国会程序，”贝茨说。

该命令还可能在州疫苗接种要求方面开辟另一法律战线。它指示司法部对涉及父母权威、宗教和医疗职业的州法律提起所谓“narcitousie”法律挑战。儿科医生表示，这可能会加剧医生和家庭在遵循哪种接种时间表上的困惑。

贝茨表示，这还可能对共和党主导的州施加政治压力，要求其取消学校疫苗接种要求。

“即使这在法律上不成立，但对各州和疫苗接种机构的潜在寒蝉效应是巨大的，”科罗拉多大学助理教授（原文为“for read”）说。

“总统没有专业知识来做出这些改变。疫苗的安全性是压倒性的。”

参议员比尔·卡西迪（R-La.）在X平台上写道

这一推动将MMR（麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹）疫苗拆分的做法，与政府所引用的多个美国疫苗政策榜样国家的做法背道而驰。丹麦、澳大利亚和加拿大均采用联合疫苗接种麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹。英国今年开始用一种四合一疫苗取代MMR疫苗，该疫苗还可预防水痘。

“行政命令提出的论点是，美国应与我认为的趋势保持一致，即是否值得投入资金或时间，”拉辛告诉记者。

特朗普任命助手为新任白宫首席法律顾问

作者：娜塔莉·阿利森（Natalie Allison）和丹·戴蒙德（Dan Diamond）

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已任命威尔·沙夫（Will Scharf）为新任白宫首席法律顾问，接替即将“转入私营部门”的戴维·沃灵顿（David Warrington）。特朗普在社交媒体发文宣布了这一消息。

白宫法律顾问办公室的这一人事变动将于9月1日生效。

现任白宫行政秘书的沙夫，最为人所知的身份是经常站在特朗普身后的律师，在椭圆形办公室签署行政命令时为其解释细节。

此前，沙夫曾在2024年竞选密苏里州总检察长未果，并担任过特朗普的私人律师。

“我了解威尔的工作。他曾在拜登政府腐败且非法的‘战争化’运动中，代表我参与多起案件，包括在最高法院的诉讼。”特朗普在其Truth Social平台上写道。

特朗普还表示，沃灵顿在担任法律顾问期间表现“非常出色”。

此次人事变动是特朗普白宫团队近期多名成员离职的最新一例——这些成员的任期普遍长于特朗普首个任期内的助手。

在加入白宫之前，沃灵顿曾担任特朗普2024年竞选团队的总法律顾问，此前他加入了由现任助理司法部长哈特尼特·K·迪尔登（Hartnett K. Dildon）拥有的达尔顿律师事务所（Dalton Law Group）。在该所期间，他曾为迈克尔·弗林（Michael Flynn）和塞巴斯蒂安·戈尔卡（Sebastian Gorka）等备受争议的特朗普盟友提供法律代理。

自2024年以来，沙夫还担任了国家首都规划委员会（National Capital Planning Commission）主席，这是一个低调的联邦机构，由国会授权负责监督华盛顿地区的联邦建设项目。

鲍勃·约翰逊（BOB JOHNSON）

威尔·沙夫还担任了国家首都规划委员会主席，该委员会负责监督该地区的联邦建设项目。

在此职位上，沙夫加快了特朗普亲自挑选的多个项目的审批进度，包括总统计划中的白宫舞厅，该项目已于4月获得委员会批准。

沙夫还加速了委员会对特朗普计划中的凯旋门项目的审查，预计该项目将在9月的下一次公开会议上获得批准。

特朗普希望在2026年1月离任前完成这些项目，并对委员会的快速审批表示赞赏。该委员会以往审查白宫重大变更及华盛顿地区新纪念碑项目的时间通常要长得多。

作为委员会主席，沙夫还主张，计划中的250英尺高的凯旋门及其他联邦项目不应受限于一项将华盛顿大多数建筑高度限制在150英尺以内的联邦法律，这一立场得到了特朗普政府的支持，但遭到历史保护主义者的反对。

小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪针对允许食品公司自我认证安全的漏洞

作者：RACHEL ROUBLIN

联邦卫生官员表示，卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）周一公布了一项计划，旨在收紧一个存在十年的漏洞，该漏洞此前允许食品公司在产品中添加某些化学物质，而无需首先通知国家的食品监管机构。

这种被称为“公认安全”（generally recognized as safe，GRAI）的做法允许公司对某些食品化学品或物质的安全性进行自我认证。特朗普政府新提出的规则将要求食品公司在做出此类判定时通知美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA），并提供得出这些结论的依据。

“转向强制通知系统填补了数十年的信息空白，”FDA代理局长埃里克·迪亚曼扎（Eric Diamantza）周一告诉记者。他表示，该计划在“尊重我们权力限制”的同时“提高了透明度”，并补充说，官员们将与国会合作进一步解决该漏洞问题。

对于那些被普遍认为安全的用途，公司在产品中添加某些化学品或物质时，并未被强制要求告知 FDA，

尽管它们可以选择这样做。这意味着可能已有数百种此类成分在没有严格政府监管的情况下进入食品供应体系。被普遍认为安全的化学品包括某些早餐麦片中的防腐剂、某些冰淇淋和沙拉酱中的乳化剂，以及在无糖甜点和糖果中发现的特定低卡甜味剂。这些物质通常存在于超加工食品中，而超加工食品占美国人饮食的一半以上，且研究日益将其与健康问题联系起来。

在担任国家最高卫生官员期间，修补该漏洞一直是肯尼迪食品议程的一部分，也是他所倡导的“爱达荷让美国再次健康”（Idaho America Healthy Again）运动的优先事项。

一些食品安全和营养专家表示，他们欢迎这一提案，称其为一项迟到已久的变革。另一些人则表示，他们担心 FDA 没有足够的资源来审查来自公司的物质，这可能导致相关物质在监管机构没有时间进行充分审查的情况下继续涌入市场。

倡导类非营利组织环境工作组（Environmental Working Group）政府事务副总裁梅兰妮·劳施（Melanie Rousch）称此举是“迈向实质性改革的第一步”。

她在声明中表示：“真正的 GRAI 改革需要的不仅仅是强制通知。它还必须包括强有力的、基于科学的安全标准，以及在化学物质被允许进入我们的食品之前，由 FDA 进行彻底的独立审查。而且它必须解决市场上已经存在的数千种在数十年中未经过实质性审查的物质。”

在肯尼迪作为部长采取坚决的食品相关行动之际，他宣布 FDA 将“探索潜在的规则制定”，以收紧 GRAI 漏洞。

自 2024 年以来，FDA 负责评估新食品添加剂的安全性。然而，对于被普遍认为安全的物质（如醋、面粉和标准香料）设有例外。

虽然具体规则随时间而变化，但公司被允许自行判定某些物质是否被视为安全，食品安全倡导者表示，随着时间的推移，这一范围已扩大到多种成分，且无需通知 FDA。

这已成为大多数物质进入国家食品供应体系的主要方式。迪亚曼扎表示：

“工业界劫持了这个漏洞，并将大量化学摄入直接推向了美国食品供应体系。”

肯尼迪周一说道，曾出现过通过 GRAI 漏洞添加到食品中的添加剂随后引发安全担忧的情况，例如在一种韭菜羊肉碎食中使用的 taca 面粉，该事件导致至少 350 人被送医，并导致其他数百人。

美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）将在40天内审查各公司提交的材料，以确保包含所有相关信息。在100天内，该机构将对这些物质进行更实质性的审查，迪亚曼扎（Diamantza）表示。

根据该提案，在审查过程中，企业不会被禁止在食品中添加这些物质，且FDA无需正式批准或审查这些化学品，迪亚曼扎称这将需要国会立法。肯尼迪呼吁国会为FDA提供更多资源，“以跟上不断变化的食品供应”。

对于已进入食品供应链的物质，FDA旨在建立一个流程，让企业提交关于该化学品在食品中使用方式的信息。

部分食品行业人士更倾向于通过国会而非监管来推动变革。一位不愿透露姓名的食品行业人士坦言，业界担心FDA审核企业关于潜在新物质的信息将耗费时间，并认为变革应通过立法实现，同时为该机构提供更多资金。

由食品行业及其他游说团体支持的“美国食品成分透明联盟”去年成立，在一份声明中表示，国会应建立“一个透明、全国统一的食品成分监管框架”。

曾在共和党和民主党总统任内担任FDA局长的戴维·凯斯勒（David Kessler）去年向FDA请愿，要求撤销超加工食品中一些常用成分的“一般公认安全”（GRAI）地位。

对于周一的声明，凯斯勒表示，“拟议的GRAI行动并未解决这个国家慢性病的根本原因”。

白宫预算办公室已于7月21，完成对GRAI拟议法规的审查，这表明一项规则即将公开征求意见。肯尼迪本月早些时候在CNN上表示，该提案将在“大约一个月内”公布，并称其已经过“广泛的跨部门流程”。

联邦官员还一直在制定“超加工”食品的定义，截至上周，白宫预算办公室已收到一份关于拟议定义的白皮书以供审查。

此前，作为知名反疫苗组织创始人的肯尼迪，在中期选举前的数月里，一直公开强调其在食品和营养方面的工作，并淡化推动疫苗政策改革的呼声。MAHA运动在肯尼迪与特朗普于2024年竞选期间结成的意外政治联盟后成立。该运动包含多个派系，打破传统党派界限，如推动食品供应变革、加强农药监管及取消疫苗强制令等。

政府针对多元化奖学金网站采取行动

CareerOneStop由劳工部资助并监管

记者：托德·沃拉克

据采访和公开通知显示，特朗普政府计划对一个由联邦资助的职业网站进行改版，该网站列出了数百项面向女性和有色人种学生的奖学金，以使其与总统终结多元化、公平和包容（DEI）项目的使命保持一致。

该网站名为CareerOneStop，提供一个工具，允许用户根据特定条件（包括种族和性别）筛选奖学金搜索结果。此外，网站上列出的数十项其他奖学金专门面向残障人士或自认为LGBTQ+的群体。网站上的奖学金似乎主要由各类私人团体资助，包括基金会、协会、联合会、工会及其他组织。

这些奖学金列表在某种程度上与政府的立场相矛盾：政府一直在努力消除高等教育中的多元化举措，同时却继续在其资助和监管的网站上宣传多元化奖学金。

明尼苏达州就业与经济发展部代表劳工部运营该网站。但特朗普政府告诉《华盛顿邮报》，计划在未来几个月内终止与该州的合作，将网站收归内部运营并对门户进行全面改版。

劳工部拒绝回答有关网站奖学金列表的问题——该网站还提供职业、职业培训和就业机会等信息。但白宫承诺将进行调整，以反映政府的反DEI议程。

“特朗普总统在选举中获得了明确授权，以终结分裂性的种族政策，恢复择优和效率，”白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯在声明中表示。“劳工部正将这一特定项目收归内部，以改进其服务，因为本届政府继续消除巴顿政府期间泛滥的DEI政策。”

改版网站的计划紧随多所高校、基金会及其他组织的步伐，它们在特朗普政府、诉讼和活动人士的压力下，将基于种族和性别的奖学金标准替换为更广泛的资格条件。全国奖学金提供者协会发现，其跟踪的奖学金中，基于种族、族裔、性别或其他人口统计因素的资格要求比例已从2020年的11%降至2026年的11%。

去年，教育部启动了调查

多元化奖学金

联邦CareerOneStop.org网站列出了数千项奖学金、研究金、助学金及其他财政援助项目。其中数百项限定申请者的种族、族裔或性别。

道路与地位

针对多所大学提供的针对少数族裔学生的奖学金展开调查，其中包括路易斯维尔大学的“黎明·威尔逊奖学金”，面向“少数族裔LGBTQ+本科生”，以及路易斯维尔探戈节奖学金，面向“拉丁裔和西班牙裔学生”。路易斯维尔大学的一位发言人表示，学校已解决此问题，不再将种族、族裔、性别或性取向作为奖学金评定因素。

此外，教育部此前曾建议高校，除特定例外情况外，通常不得以性别为由限制奖学金发放。

保守派活动人士已起诉多家私营机构提供基于种族的奖学金，或向“多元化、公平与包容”（DEI）部门投诉提供此类资助的非营利组织，称此举构成种族歧视，可能危及组织的免税地位或违反禁止合同歧视的法律。不过，一些资助方则主张——

有必要为历史上被边缘化的群体保留并宣传经济援助。

例如，美国印第安人大学基金会在CareerOneStop网站上提供针对部落成员及其后代的奖学金。

“这是一个很好的资源，对潜在和在读学生非常必要，”总部位于丹佛的该基金会主席谢丽尔·克雷·布尔（Cheryl Crazy Bull）表示，“它需要良好的维护和更新。”

克雷·布尔表示，基金会提供的此类奖学金能够帮助那些在高等教育中长期代表性不足的群体。她指出，美洲原住民通常来自资源有限的贫困家庭，难以承担大学费用。

“获得奖学金能消除这一障碍，”她说。克雷·布尔还指出，针对美洲原住民的奖学金应享有特殊法律保护——

因为美国政府与部落之间签订的条约及其他历史协议。

尽管女性在高等教育中人数超过男性，但部分奖学金提供方仍将奖项指向女性，尤其是在男性主导的领域。联邦网站上针对男性的奖学金数量较少。

劳工部已要求明尼苏达州对该网站进行部分修改，如从部分页面中移除“多元化”一词，但未要求对奖学金列表进行调整，州长办公室称。

截至周五，CareerOneStop网站仍列有数百项带有人口统计限制的奖学金，包括一项面向非裔美国女性法学院学生的$30,000奖学金，要求申请者在新泽西州居住或就读；$16,000.的奖学金，旨在帮助少数族裔学生攻读科学领域博士学位；以及旧金山湾区面向“同性恋、女同性恋、双性恋和跨性别亚裔及太平洋岛民”的资助。

部分列表似乎已过时。例如，网站上仍列有盖茨基金会针对少数族裔高中毕业生的奖学金，但该基金会表示1, 2006年已将奖项开放给所有低收入学生，不限种族。

明尼苏达州就业与经济发展部的一位发言人表示，奖学金数据来自供应商盖尔（Gale），该公司近20年来一直为该网站提供信息。她称劳工部负责网站内容。

特朗普政府还计划对该网站进行更广泛的改革。

“尽管CareerOneStop被广泛使用和重视，但当前体验可能较为碎片化且难以导航，”政府在一份关于“现代化”网站的公众意见征询中表示。该征询未具体提及奖学金目录。

意见征询期原定于周一结束。

《华盛顿邮报》——2006年8月1日，星期二

[...OMITTED...]

面对伊朗威胁，特朗普从土耳其秘密起飞

从A3航班起飞

这架由卡塔尔赠送的飞机的安全性受到质疑，特朗普上月在行程结束后表示，该机将进行额外升级。

在安卡拉，特朗普在电视镜头前登上了老旧的空军一号大型喷气式飞机。据这名美国官员及《华盛顿邮报》审查的佐证材料显示，数分钟后，他被秘密转移至一架较小的飞机——空军C-32A——通过一辆通常用于装载餐食和其他补给的机场餐饮卡车。该官员称，这使得空军一号成为“诱饵”，媒体和部分白宫工作人员仍在机上。

特朗普当时正在安卡拉参加北约峰会。此次行动发生在美军根据特朗普指示对伊朗东部发动军事打击的次日，此前华盛顿与德黑兰之间为结束持续数月的战争而进行的谈判破裂。

这一行动意味着特朗普的实际行踪在数小时内对美国公众和许多美国高级官员隐瞒。数周后，仍不清楚政府已向多大范围披露了此次行动。

《华盛顿邮报》向白宫提供了报道细节及问题清单。作为回应，白宫通讯主任里维尔·张（Revere Cheung）发表声明，为卡塔尔赠送的飞机辩护。

“新的空军一号是一架配备高级安全协议的尖端飞机，确保总统及其工作人员的安全，”张的声明称。“正如总统最近所言，美国有许多敌人对他虎视眈眈，我们正动用一切可用手段应对这些威胁。”

五角大楼发言人将问题转交白宫。特勤局发言人未回应置评请求。

公开报道中，白宫坚称总统乘坐的是曾作为空军一号的传统蓝白相间波音740离开土耳其。

数十年来，美国总统在不携带白宫记者团（作为美国公众代表）的情况下出行已成为惯例。记者曾随多位总统前往战区，包括特朗普、乔·拜登、巴拉克·奥巴马和乔治·W·布什。

“在2005年9月15日恐怖袭击发生后，布什政府官员最初未披露总统行踪，称美国当时‘并非不设防的地点’。但他们并未谎称总统身处他处，数小时后官员透露他正在内布拉斯加州的军事设施内。”

特朗普的行动则截然不同，凸显了美国对其离开土耳其时安全的高度担忧，当时美伊关系紧张。土耳其是美国的重要盟友及北约军事联盟成员，与伊朗接壤。

这名美国官员称，一项针对特朗普的可信威胁促使伊朗采取了“干扰行动”。上月，情报官员曾标记出针对总统或其座机的具体袭击威胁，触发了额外预防措施。

美国政府数十年来一直担忧伊朗针对美国官员（包括特朗普）的恐怖主义阴谋。土耳其的首次声明最近再次提及，源于华盛顿在暗杀伊朗军政领导人中扮演的角色。

此次行动及伊朗的空中威胁发生在总统开始使用卡塔尔赠送的新波音747-6作为空军一号之后。特朗普曾对这架红、白、蓝三色喷涂的飞机进行了耗资数亿美元的改装。该机最初由空军投入使用，但未配备传统空军一号的反制措施。

以下是忠实于原文的中文翻译：

---

为了将总统从土耳其转移，美国官员前往美国通报相关情况，这一信息最终成为公众所知。类似的行动曾发生在2006年3月，当时比尔·克林顿总统访问巴基斯坦。在伊斯兰堡，大量摄像机记录下克林顿——

唐纳德·特朗普于7月9日抵达英国怀特黑德后，从一架传统空军一号专机上走下。

7月9日，一辆餐饮车停靠在土耳其安卡拉的传统空军一号专机旁。

他从一架紧随蓝白色空军一号的纯白色飞机上走下，在曾经停留的地方发出声响。

一位美国官员表示，在过去30年间，空军一号曾多次作为总统的“出入门户”，原因要么是存在严重威胁，要么是总统前往危险地点。该官员拒绝透露更多细节。这位前官员称，传统空军一号虽然安全性极高，但也极为显眼，因此有时将总统转移至其他飞机反而更为安全。

美国特勤局前代理局长罗纳德·L·罗 Jr.表示，总统的安全至高无上，其行动细节被严格保密是有充分理由的。

“我们必须保守特勤局的秘密，”现供职于切尔托夫集团（一家安全咨询公司）的罗表示，“公众应当了解总统的日常行程，但特勤局保护总统的具体手段则应远离公众视野。”

当特朗普首次宣布将乘坐传统空军一号离开土耳其时，他在社交媒体上将此决定包装为让驻英美军有机会一睹卡塔尔赠送的新专机。他发帖称，将改乘“前空军一号”离开土耳其，“以怀旧之情”。

但《华盛顿邮报》查阅的材料及美国官员透露，实际情况并非如此。多名人员参与了此次行动的解密，其中部分人并不知情；一些自认为与总统同乘传统空军一号的记者，要么被告知总统已更换飞机，要么对空军一号面临的威胁程度一无所知。

卡塔尔赠送的新空军一号专机于7月8.晚率先离开土耳其。特朗普随后在黄昏时分登上传统的蓝白色空军一号，并向镜头挥手道别。

为确保特朗普登机过程不被无关人员察觉，他与数名助手登上一辆机场餐饮车，该车被消防车牵引至飞机另一侧的舱门旁，与空军一号主入口相对。这一细节由美国官员及其他佐证材料证实。

土耳其机场的新闻媒体画面显示，传统空军一号的一侧停靠着登机梯，另一侧则是餐饮车，其货柜已升至与飞机舱门齐平的高度。视频显示，特朗普乘坐豪华轿车抵达，登上登机梯，并向人群挥手后进入机舱。

数分钟后，当白宫记者团从飞机后部登机时，一名西装男子进入餐饮车的货柜内，媒体发布的登机过程视频显示。货柜随后被降至车厢，餐饮车驶离空军一号，开往附近一架较小的C-32A飞机，视频画面如上所述。在镜头移开并短暂被C-32A发动机遮挡的约40秒内，餐饮车从画面中消失。

视频显示，货柜被降下后，又被重新升至与飞机齐平的高度，停留数分钟。随后，一名西装男子从仍停留在地面的货柜内走出，沿主登机梯登上C-32A，消失在镜头之外。

这架蓝白相间的C-32A——一架经过改装的波音707，用于运送美国政府官员——与传统的空军一号及前卡塔尔专机一同被派往土耳其，以支持总统的访问，这位美国官员表示。与空军一号的大型喷气式飞机一样，它也印有“美利坚合众国”字样，可用于运送总统或副总统。但通常情况下，它会使用“空军一号”或“空军专机”的呼号，而非手写编号。

特朗普乘坐这架飞机前往土耳其，该机是卡塔尔赠送的，原本用作空军一号。

国防部长皮特·巴古奇通过外部主舱门单独登上C-32A，此举是为了让这次飞行看起来一切正常，据这位美国官员及《华盛顿邮报》查阅的其他材料显示。巴古奇与特朗普乘坐同一架飞机前往英国。这位知情人士表示，“当记者登上传统的空军一号时，白宫幕僚前特勤局代理局长罗纳德·L·罗 Jr.下令记者关闭舷窗遮光板，据一份媒体报道称。

“公众有权了解总统每天的行程， 但涉及特勤局保护总统的具体方式时， 这些细节应当远离公众视野。”

《纽约时报》上月报道称，这架前卡塔尔专机缺乏传统美国总统运输机的防御能力。该报道促使特朗普政府采取前所未有的举措，向多名记者发出传票，试图查明其匿名消息来源的身份。

政府官员称，针对《纽约时报》的行动是调查国家安全泄密事件的必要措施，而《纽约时报》则将此举描述为规避透明度、恐吓记者并迫使其交代消息来源的手段。政府随后撤回了传票，承认此案存在“瑕疵”。

为回应对新专机的批评，白宫还发布了空军的一份声明。

“该飞机安全可靠，配备了最先进的（技术），足以满足总统级别的标准要求，”声明称。“这些要求经过精心设计，优先考虑任务而非外观，最大限度减少了对前国家元首内部布局的改动。”

“在安全、保障或任务通信方面未承担任何风险，但团队在波音必须交付的两个常用任务集上做出了权衡，以支持未来40年的需求，”声明补充道。

通常情况下，运载总统的740型大型喷气式飞机被统称为“空军一号”。严格来说，这一术语是空中交通管制呼号，适用于任何载有总统的飞机。

然而在此次事件中，总统乘坐C-32A前往英国的行踪被掩盖，使用了前任呼号“Reach IV”或“RUTON”，据一位熟悉此次任务的人士及《华盛顿邮报》查阅的其他材料显示。

新闻账号“The newsreality”注意到C-32A在英国的控制情况及其呼号，并当晚报道称，该飞机在空中时，用于便于追踪的信号已被关闭。“Reach”呼号通常用于人员运输航班及运送军事装备的航班，据熟悉此次任务的人士介绍。

公开的飞行追踪数据显示，这架前卡塔尔专机以“SAM 10”的呼号（常用缩写，意为“特别空中任务”）飞抵英国怀特黑德空军基地。数据显示，该机于7月9日晚8点30分（当地时间）降落在怀特黑德。

搭载白宫工作人员和记者的原空军一号飞机在前往英国途中出现在伊斯坦布尔附近的一个集会上空，最初未显示呼号。尽管总统并未登机，该机随后使用了空军一号的呼号“APL”，多次闪灯后于当地时间晚上10:20左右抵达怀特黑德基地，追踪数据显示。当晚的一则媒体报道称，此次飞行“显然”对“记者团”未采取暴力行为。

未能找到C-32A型飞机的飞行追踪数据，但YouTube账号RankUpSolutions和Military Aviation发布的视频记录了前卡塔尔喷气式飞机降落的画面，随后是一架C-32A于约10:20抵达本场基地，数分钟后原空军一号也随之降落。

视频显示，原空军一号降落后停在了C-32A曾短暂停放的位置。YouTube上的球形摄像头视频未拍到特朗普走下C-32A或登上原空军一号的画面，因当时舷梯背对飞机上方的摄像头。

目前尚不清楚特朗普在降落后如何从C-32A转移至原空军一号，但根据媒体报道，他于当晚10:06左右出现在电视镜头前，并从原空军一号的外部主梯走下。

在向美军官兵致意后，总统登上新赠送的空军一号返回华盛顿，工作人员和记者于约10:10从原空军一号转乘。白宫当晚发布的社交媒体帖文称，特朗普“乘坐前空军一号”降落在英国基地，并附上了原空军一号的照片。

在新空军一号上，特朗普与记者交谈约10分钟，强调了威胁的存在，但未提及此前发生的尾灯事件。

当被问及在土耳其时记者被要求拉下机窗遮光板的原因时，特朗普表示：“因为你们可能在执行一次危险的飞行，因为我们必须应对那些睡袋（sleep bags）。”他称自己“一直面临”针对其生命的“威胁”，并表示自己是“头号”目标。

“不过，如果我走，你们也走，飞行！”特朗普对记者开玩笑道，“也许有一天你们想换个职业。”

数十年后图帕克·夏库尔遇害案开审

前帮派头目被控策划1996年枪击案

作者：汉娜·诺尔斯

近三十年来，警方表示无法侦破说唱歌手图帕克·夏库尔的遇害案。

而前帮派头目杜安·“凯菲D”·戴维斯开始开口——在采访和回忆录中重提这起驾车枪击案。

如今，戴维斯将因一起备受公众关注的案件受审。陪审团遴选定于周一在拉斯维加斯开始，距离夏库尔于7, 1996被枪击的十字路口不远。预计审判将持续数周。

戴维斯已对一项谋杀罪名表示不认罪，并称自己当时在车上，一名后座乘客向夏库尔开枪。其律师通过代表拒绝讨论此案。当局指控他策划了这起谋杀，但未指称他是枪手。他们表示，若非戴维斯本人的公开言论，这场审判可能永远不会发生。

夏库尔去世时年仅25岁，正值事业巅峰，被悼念为那个时代最具影响力的艺术家之一。那一年，他的歌曲《加州之恋》登上排行榜榜首。

2015年，在夏库尔被追授进入摇滚名人堂的仪式上，说唱组合"ragyes group drugs"——夏库尔的朋友兼合作伙伴——表示：“虽然如今许多人将他铭记为某种‘thugged-out superhero’，但图帕克知道自己只是凡人，并通过音乐表达了前所未有的真实。”

以下是关于此案及这桩数十年悬案的关键信息。

夏库尔之死源于帮派恩怨

官方称，枪击事件起因于两个说唱帮派——Mob Piru和南区康普顿Crips——之间的冲突。警方表示，夏库尔的唱片公司Death Row Records与Mob Piru有关联，而戴维斯则是Crips的“领导者和决策者”。

枪击当天，两个帮派的成员都在拉斯维加斯观看拳击手迈克·泰森在MGM大花园竞技场的比赛。警方称，赛后，Death Row Records的随行人员殴打了戴维斯的侄子。

戴维斯在2015年的回忆录中写道：“herald night in Las Vegas, Nevada when Tupac said the crew he chose to run with crossed the line and put their hands and feet on my nephew Babe Lane.”

“We couldn't let no record company studio gangsters do so like that,”戴维斯写道。

他还提到，自己当时决定与Death Row Records团队对质，并补充说他的随行人员已做好准备“(in) case the diplomatic approach didn't work.”

“我的团队就是air fire，”他写道。“All my young hunters had already been shot at least once, so that turned them into some stone-cold killers — they had the mentality of, it's either them or me, and it ain't gonna be me.”

警方指控戴维斯策划袭击

戴维斯当时正与另外三名男子同乘一辆白色凯迪拉克，警方称，他们当时发现了沙库尔。戴维斯在其著作中提到，他此前曾将一把枪拖入车后座。

沙库尔当时乘坐一辆由死亡唱片公司联合创始人马里恩·“罗杰”·奈特驾驶的黑色宝马，正值其声名鼎盛之际。戴维斯在书中描述，沙库尔“突然做出一个鲁莽的动作”，并“掏出了家伙”——俚语，指拔枪。

“[就在那时] 烟花开始了，”戴维斯写道，“我后座的一把枪感受到震动，开始还击。”

数十年后，在《REVOLT》纪录片系列采访中被问及谁开枪射杀了沙库尔时，戴维斯以“街头法则”为由拒绝透露姓名。

检方将在审判中主张，戴维斯是沙库尔遇害案的主谋。2013年宣布对戴维斯提出指控的新闻发布会上，克拉克县地区检察官史蒂夫·沃尔夫森表示：“如果你帮助他人犯罪，你可能同样有罪。”

他举例称：如果两人合谋抢劫银行，其中一人负责开逃逸车，那么两人都有罪。

警方称戴维斯的言论重启案件调查

执法部门宣布逮捕戴维斯时表示，警方在1996年9月7日案发后数月内已掌握了事件的诸多细节，但始终缺乏足够证据提起诉讼。

1996年，戴维斯在《REVOLT》纪录片系列《死亡唱片编年史》中详述了沙库尔遇害前的事件。

与戴维斯同乘凯迪拉克的另外三人——多纳休·“彭德”·史密斯、戴维斯的侄子奥兰多·“宝贝巷”·安德森和司机特里·“泡泡上”·布朗——均已去世。

2002年，戴维斯出版了回忆录《康普顿街头传奇》。

“当时我们就知道，这可能是我们最后一次尝试破案的机会，”拉斯维加斯警方的杰森·约翰松中尉在宣布对戴维斯提出指控的新闻发布会上表示。

戴维斯的辩护律师曾试图阻止检方在庭审中使用其部分言论——包括回忆录中的内容。辩护律师迈克尔·桑夫特指出，该书由合著者撰写，并称其“为销售产品而虚构”。但第八司法区法院法官塞西尔·克伦杰驳回了这一说法，指出戴维斯曾表示该书所述为事实。

潜在证人包括沙库尔的家人和“罗杰”·奈特

在法庭文件中，检方列出了超过200名潜在证人，包括调查人员和死亡唱片公司前安保主管等。他们表示，还可能传唤沙库尔的家人，如其妹妹杰比舒·沙库尔和同母异父的哥哥莫里斯·“莫根德”·沙库尔（曾是嘻哈组合“Ring Life”的成员）。

潜在执法部门证人名单中还包括一名“线人……？”，内华达州州长乔·隆巴尔多（共和党）曾在拉斯维加斯警局任职。州长办公室未回应是否会传唤他的问题。名单还包括奈特，这位死亡唱片公司高管在枪击发生时与沙库尔同车，目前因用车撞死一人而入狱。

检方拒绝就证人计划置评。

辩方已通知法院，可能会传唤一名关于虚假供述和胁迫性审讯技巧的专家等多名证人。

戴维斯的律师曾试图阻止检方使用警方1996年录制的戴维斯讯问录音，称其“非自愿”。

“我招供是因为他们承诺不会起诉我，”戴维斯在回忆录中写道。

但法官支持检方，允许在审判中使用该讯问录音。

纽约加油站用舞蹈动作换折扣带来欢笑

作者：凯尔·梅尔尼克

威廉·多罗夫在购买早餐三明治和二手咖啡时，收银台上的一张告示让他停下了脚步。

纽约州哈夫穆恩一家加油站兼洗车店的告示上写着：“想要折扣吗？展示你最棒的舞蹈动作。”

多罗夫几乎每天早上都会光顾这家位于奥尔巴尼以北约15英里的便利店，看到这项优惠时感到惊讶。自称性格安静随和的多罗夫一开始有些犹豫，但在店经理的鼓励下，他展示了自己的招牌舞步。经理告诉他，这只是为了让大家开心。

店内没有播放音乐，多罗夫便自己哼起了调子。他抖动双腿、摆动手臂几秒钟后，亮出了自己的招牌动作：双臂向前伸直，身体向下蹲。

86岁的多罗夫是少数几位参与Sunoco & Halfmoon洗车店促销活动的顾客之一。店员表示，几周前推出这项活动是为了让顾客开心。

在油价高企——周一平均每加仑$4——的情况下，20%的折扣也颇具吸引力。

店内没有严格的规则。顾客可以将店内变成个人舞池，或者只是简单地抖动肩膀。

“这儿的顾客来加油时心情总是有点低落，”店铺发言人保利娜·西尔托里说，“所以当他们进店后，会变得开心一些。”

店铺在社交媒体上发布了一段三位顾客跳舞的视频，观看人数超过600万。一些评论者表示希望每家店都能提供类似的促销活动。

一位Facebook用户评论道：“感谢你们提醒我，这个世界上还有90个懂得幽默、知道如何搞怪的人。”

另一位评论者写道：“我真想开车去一趟，就为了在这里跳一段。”

那天早上，多罗夫跳完舞后，他说这让每天在这里见面的朋友们都笑了。

“这个世界已经有太多压力了，”从事建筑工作的多罗夫说，“所以能给大家带来一些笑料，让他们开怀大笑，这很有趣。”

那天上午晚些时候，另一位顾客也参与了这项活动。她扭动臀部、拍打双手，还即兴唱起了歌：“折扣！我跳舞是为了折扣。”

中午时分，第三位顾客丹尼尔·瑞安从约一英里外的物流技术员工作地点驱车来到店里，购买两瓶橙味能量饮料。自称性格外向的瑞安表示，他毫不犹豫地跳起了舞。

他手持饮料随着节拍摇头晃脑，然后做了一个“跑步机”舞步的变体，并挥舞双臂旋转。他转了180度，侧踢一脚，瑞安称这个动作为“迈克尔·杰克逊旋转”。

42,岁的瑞安说跳舞让他感到“心情舒畅”。

“不要一回到车上就心情低落，”瑞安说，“跳完舞后心情更好，工作状态也更佳。”

店铺表示可能会再次推出舞蹈折扣活动，一些常客表示欢迎这一机会。

多罗夫说，他想趁自己还能跳动时展示舞姿，“总有一天，我可能再也站不起来了。”

“这让大家笑了，”他说，“对我来说这就足够了。”

保存数字革命黎明的收藏家们

在其他人眼中是垃圾的东西，在某些人看来却是值得关注和尊重的计算机历史文物

特里·库萨 美联社

加利福尼亚州山景城——软件工程师乔希·德施热爱老式计算机。他在车库里花费无数时间，试图让这些老旧机器重获新生。他估计自己在西雅图的家中拥有超过 200 台老式计算机和设备。

“看到事物的起源总是让我着迷，”德施说，“调试和修复是一项有趣的挑战。你可以从头到尾理解整个系统。”

德施是不断壮大的老式计算机收藏家群体中的一员，他们正在保存那些帮助开启数字革命的经典机器。尽管硅谷如今已转向塑造人工智能的未来，但这些硬件爱好者仍致力于保护 Atari、Commodore 和 IBM 等机器——这些都是当今智能设备、可穿戴设备和智能手机的前身。

在其他人眼中是垃圾的东西，像德施这样的人却认为它们是值得关注和尊重的计算机历史文物。他们乐于寻找童年记忆中的哔哔声和叮咚声，并启动一局低分辨率的《乒乓》或《太空入侵者》游戏。

“对计算机历史及其相关事物的热情正在增长，”老式计算机联合会主席埃里克·克莱因说。该组织每年在硅谷核心地带山景城的计算机历史博物馆举办年度节日。

本月举行的为期两天的老式计算机节吸引了超过 3,000 人参加，庆祝苹果公司于 1876 年在附近的库比蒂诺创立。

活动特别邀请了联合创始人史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克和罗纳德·韦恩，他们在小组讨论中回顾了公司早期作为由史蒂夫·乔布斯领导的初创企业的艰难岁月。

此后，北美、南美和欧洲的十几个城市也陆续举办了类似的聚会。

克莱因表示，在线市场对老式计算机的需求不断增长，反映了人们对这一领域的兴趣日益浓厚。一些稀有且具有标志性的计算机，如苹果公司的第一款产品 Apple-1，售价可达数十万美元。

收藏家们展示了他们精心修复至原始工作状态的计算机系统，让参与者能够体验在互联网、社交媒体和人工智能改变世界之前制造的计算机。

德施从西雅图南下，展示了他的藏品中的珍品——施乐 Alto。他花费多年时间修复了这台被誉为“现代计算机之祖”的机器，它是在 20 世纪 70 年代由施乐帕洛阿尔托研究中心开发的。

Alto 是最早超越屏幕文本、使用鼠标和图形用户界面（如窗口、图标和光标）的计算机之一，这些技术后来成为行业标准。这一型号曾启发乔布斯和比尔·盖茨在其早期产品中采用这些技术。德施的展品包括一台功能完整的施乐 Alto 工作站，配有笨重的垂直显示器、厚实的键盘和鼠标，以及针垫大小的旋转磁盘，其存储的数据量按现代标准来看微乎其微。

“与人们分享我的成果很有趣，也很高兴看到其他人的成果，”德施说，“此外，这里还有寄售区，我可以买更多‘垃圾’带回家，这总是很有趣。”

克莱因是硅谷的一名软件工程经理，曾是一位狂热的收藏家，直到他的爱好逐渐占据了家庭生活。他曾拥有多达150套完整的计算机系统——包括配件、文档和包装——全部堆放在衣柜和车库里。

他说自己心爱的收藏已变得“过于庞大”，并担心会成为家人的负担。于是，他开始出售和赠送这些机器，直到家中只剩下几台最喜欢的收藏品。

如今，克莱因将对老式计算机的热情转化为组织节日、维修工作坊、交换活动及其他活动，担任老式计算机联合会主席。

“因此，这实际上是为了传播这段历史，并推广这一爱好——维护、享受和欣赏老式技术，”克莱因说道。

索拉姆·伊斯梅尔对收藏者社区的发展和成熟感到兴奋，自1997年他组织了首届节日以来，吸引了约150名爱好者参加在旧金山以东的一个场地举办的活动。他连续十年主办了这些活动。

后来，他与他人共同创立了老式计算机联合会，该组织在美国和加拿大举办节日活动，并帮助其他团体在阿根廷、德国和瑞士启动了类似的节日。

“社区逐渐成长起来。越来越多的人开始收集老式计算机，”伊斯梅尔说道，他曾将大量收藏存放在一个仓库中，“我们正迎来一个周年纪念。我期待这一活动能继续发展，规模更大。”

卡利（哥伦比亚）——哥伦比亚西部周一发生7.4级地震，造成至少III人死亡，多座建筑倒塌，当局称。

据哥伦比亚地质服务局称，此次地震发生在当地时间上午7:30过后不久，震中位于哥伦比亚太平洋沿岸的圣何塞-德尔皮齐亚诺附近，是该国十年来遭遇的最强地震。地震波及150英里外的波哥大，以及邻国厄瓜多尔、巴拿马和委内瑞拉。今年6月，委内瑞拉曾发生双重地震，造成数千人死亡。

救援人员正在多个城市的废墟中搜寻幸存者。总统阿韦拉多·德拉·埃斯皮列利亚告诉记者，至少有61座建筑倒塌，52所学校、36个医疗中心、27个社区中心和6个机场受损。

这场灾难对德拉·埃斯皮列利亚来说是一个早期考验。这位右翼总统是唐纳德·特朗普的盟友，于周五在卡利宣誓就职，三天后，这个全国第三大城市便陷入了国家危机的中心。

卡利市拥有超过200万人口，至少有50座建筑倒塌，有人被困其中。市长亚历杭德罗·埃德尔表示，当地官员称，至少有III人死亡，340人受伤。

包括医院、诊所和实验室在内的7个主要医疗中心因结构性损坏被检查，可能将继续关闭。埃德尔办公室称，其中包括该市的阿德瓦利斯干预医院，该医院部分倒塌。当局称，3名患者已从废墟中获救，另有4人正在救援中。

另有25个医疗中心可能存在结构性损坏，正在评估中。该市宣布其医院系统进入红色警戒，已达到100%容量，官员称。

该市多条主要道路和一条重要干道遭受严重损坏。港口的单脚负载显示，大批志愿者协助救援人员在废墟中挖掘。

地震发生五个多小时后，尽管午后大雨倾盆，空气中仍弥漫着灰尘。多条主要道路和一条重要干道遭受严重损坏。多个地区的电力、供水和手机信号中断。

当地电视画面显示，救援人员爬上高于品味的废墟，要求人群保持安静，以便他们专注于搜寻混凝土板下的幸存者。邻居和志愿者举起拳头，重复喊着口号。

在该国其他地区，死亡人数包括里萨拉尔达省的至少40人和考卡山谷省的27人，两省省长向当地媒体透露。

里萨拉尔达省的死亡人数包括佩雷拉的马尼萨拉国际机场，该机场的旅客航站楼部分屋顶坍塌。视频显示，这座约有40万人口的城市上空升起灰色尘埃，该市是哥伦比亚咖啡产区的商业中心。

乔科省省长努尔莎·卡罗琳娜·科尔多瓦-库尔特报告称，首府基多什有9人死亡。该省是哥伦比亚最贫困的省份之一，拥有大量非裔哥伦比亚人社区。社交媒体上的视频显示，多个地区的建筑部分或完全倒塌。

卡尔达斯省马尼萨莱斯市市长豪尔赫·爱德华多·罗哈斯报告称，有3人死亡，21座建筑受损或倒塌，并发生多起燃气泄漏。

地震深度为

距震中近70英里处，美国地质调查局报告称。哥伦比亚海事总局表示，无海啸威胁。联合国人道主义事务协调厅（UNH3）称，约150 万人感受到烈度为7的震感。

总统德拉·埃斯皮列拉表示，他将设立统一指挥中心进行应对，并将前往灾区。他的政府与前任左翼政府“安大略点”形成鲜明对比，后者已于1999,年卸任。

德拉·埃斯皮列拉说：“今天，所有哥伦比亚人，无论意识形态或政治分歧，都必须团结在一个共同目标下：救助这场袭击的受害者、这场战争的50名伤者。国家政府将以应有的方式应对这场悲剧。”

美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥表示，特朗普政府“随时准备支持哥伦比亚人民及德拉·埃斯皮列拉政府”。这位右翼总统预计将成为特朗普的重要伙伴，特朗普在事件发生前曾公开支持他。哥伦比亚6月举行的选举结果显示，特朗普派出了一个代表团，由时任代理司法部长托德·布兰奇率领，出席德拉·埃斯皮列拉在卡利举行的就职典礼。

此次7.4级地震的震源深度约为250公里。

哥伦比亚太平洋海岸位于“火环带”上，这是一个地震和火山活动频发的地带。

来自马尼萨莱斯（一座沿着沉睡的安第斯山脊建造的大学城）的视频显示，该市的大都会主教座堂——哥伦比亚最高的教堂——遭受严重损坏。

哥伦比亚民航局暂停了佩雷拉、马尼萨莱斯、卡迪什、亚美尼亚、卡塔戈和和解市的机场运营。

在波哥大，数千人从建筑物中疏散。市长卡洛斯·费尔南多·古宾表示，建筑物出现表面裂缝，但无结构性损坏。他称该市已准备好支援灾区，并表示300名救援人员已准备好部署至国家政府优先指定的地区。

此次地震发生在一个对地震灾难记忆犹新的地区。

1999,年，一场8.4级地震摧毁了亚美尼亚市（位于UNH3“中部咖啡文化景观”核心区，人口约300,000），造成约1,000至1,200人死亡。亚美尼亚约60%的建筑结构不合格，在地震中倒塌。

这一事件推动了哥伦比亚灾害应对政策的变革，设立了国家重建基金，并加强了对该国抗震建筑规范的执行。

6月24日，委内瑞拉发生的两次7.2级和7.3级地震，间隔30秒，造成超过6,000人死亡。

世卫组织：埃博拉疫情始于2月

有记录以来规模最大的人类埃博拉疫情始于2月，比官方于5月中旬宣布的时间早了数月。世界卫生组织发布了一份报告，介绍刚果民主共和国东部地区努力应对疫情的情况。

世卫组织非洲区域主任穆罕默德·雅各布·扎瓦赫表示，持续有消息表明基因测序结果显示了疫情的起始时间。他表示，早期的一些病例曾被强烈归因于其他疾病。

埃博拉疫情应对工作的烟草爆炸、HIV19和上校经理表示，基因测序工作是在刚果国家生物医学研究所病毒学部门主任三位阿巴巴的领导下进行的。

确诊的埃博拉病例已达4,000例，其中包括1,900多例死亡，根据最新政府数据。

世卫组织评估全球传播风险为低，因为埃博拉不会通过空气传播，比呼吸道病毒更难传播。该机构表示，迄今在受影响地区以外发现的病例均已被迅速确认并控制，未导致持续传播。

印度尼西亚

林火蔓延群岛

印度尼西亚周一加大力度应对群岛上日益增多的林火，派遣直升机、数千名消防员和救灾人员，扑灭在东爪哇一处热门国家公园及苏门答腊和婆罗洲半岛上肆虐的火灾。官员表示，在异常干燥的季节，火势不断蔓延。

协调政治、法律和安全事务部长塔马尼·查尼亚加表示，截至周一，已有63架直升机和大批消防员被部署参与灭火，已烧毁东南亚国家184,000英亩森林和其他土地。他表示，厄尔尼诺现象加剧将增加旱季高峰期森林和土地火灾的风险。

东爪哇当局表示，最大的火灾发生在东爪哇省的文莱腾格尔传感器国家公园，约1,600英亩土地被烧毁。当局已关闭公园，直至进一步通知。

报道称，大火已烧毁大片干草地、山顶地区及当地和国家级花卉，火势蔓延至波马塔坎地区，这是游客前往宾图卢山（印尼最著名的火山景观之一）的热门观景点。目前尚未报告人员伤亡或疏散情况。

中国

数百架航班因风暴取消

上海机场周一取消了数百架航班，因热带风暴“海豚”在登陆中国东部一天后带来暴雨，部分地区出现洪水。

据上海机场集团消息，上海虹桥和北京机场取消了超过900架航班，约占报告航班总数的40%，此前一天已取消约1,200架航班。

上海部分地铁线路周一暂停运营，中国铁路成都局集团暂停了120趟列车，官方通讯社新华社报道。

当局警告部分地区可能出现严重洪水和山体滑坡。国家电视台央视报道，浙江省Tseogha市当局正搜寻被困洪水中的居民。

中国气象局表示，“海豚”正以每小时9至12英里的速度向西北方向移动，预计将继续减弱。

“海豚”于周日晚上在浙江省台州市登陆，风速达每小时10英里，此前周末给台湾北部带来暴雨。

“海豚”已迫使至少760,000人提前转移，其中台州超过390,000人。上海和福建省分别疏散了超过330,000人和160,000人。

浙江省会杭州市当局暂时关闭了标志性景点西湖。

此外，热带风暴“灿鸿”正向日本太平洋海岸移动。日本气象厅称，该风暴周一风速为每小时10英里，预计在15, 2024周二至周三登陆前略有增强。

西班牙边境混乱凸显移民流动如何被武器化

[[图片略]]

上周，从摩洛哥步行或乘船进入西班牙飞地休达的移民正在等待红十字会的援助。

2024年移民问题

并“关闭边境”。

在2023年与西班牙发生外交争端后，摩洛哥放松了边境管控，允许不足8,000人进入休达。西班牙和摩洛哥均坚称最近的事件并非重演。双方将责任归咎于虚假信息，以及人口贩子利用西班牙最高法院最近的一项裁决——该裁决使驱逐通过海路抵达的移民变得更加困难。

休达最近的移民潮引发的政治后果正在升级。

西班牙由进步联盟政府执政，与意大利之间的争端日益激化。在休达边境突破事件后，罗马对来自西班牙的航班和渡轮实施了边境管控。两国均属于欧洲免护照通行区。但西班牙现已对意大利采取了相同的限制措施，扰乱了人员流动——这一欧盟单一市场的基石。

“意大利不会接受来自国外的最后通牒或强制措施，尤其是在国家安全和边境管控问题上。”梅洛尼办公室在西班牙采取行动后发表声明称。

近期还有其他国家利用移民达到自身目的的案例。

2023年，俄罗斯的盟友白俄罗斯通过发放旅游签证，将寻求庇护者引导至立陶宛、拉脱维亚和波兰，欧盟将这一行为称为“国家支持的混合战争”。

同年，尼加拉瓜总统丹尼尔·奥尔特加为向华盛顿施压，允许来自古巴等国的移民免签入境，以寻求进入美国。古巴现以移民潮再次激增的风险为由，呼吁特朗普政府缓和对俄罗斯的强硬施压。

2019年，土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安威胁称，若欧盟不提供财政援助，将把逃离内战的叙利亚难民“送上船”，让他们前往欧洲。

休达最近的危机正在西班牙与其他欧盟国家之间制造分歧。8月1日，22位欧洲领导人，由意大利总理焦尔吉娅·梅洛尼和丹麦总理梅特·弗雷泽里克森领衔，发表联合信函，批评西班牙：

信中谴责“可能成为拉票因素的政策，例如大规模正常化无证移民”——指的是西班牙当年决定为数十万无证移民授予合法身份。

这一政策使桑切斯成为欧洲对抗唐纳德·特朗普在移民问题上强硬立场的主要人物，也使其在西方领导人中显得格格不入——后者已转向更严格的管控。

西班牙官员称这一批评是政治机会主义，并表示没有证据表明该合法化政策（无法适用于新抵达者）在休达边境危机中发挥了作用。

尽管如此，西班牙当局仍迅速建造了一道长1,640英尺的浮动屏障，以阻止休达的进一步入侵，同时强调西班牙在减少非正规移民方面取得的成功。在当前氛围下，没有人愿意被视为在非法移民问题上态度软弱，桑切斯也不例外。

休达危机引发的欧洲大陆恐慌，凸显了移民问题在欧洲和美国已变得多么具有爆炸性。特朗普及其助手迅速利用这一事件支持西班牙。

一些官员和分析人士警告称，休达事件表明，欧盟的对手已认识到移民流动可以在联盟内部制造分裂。

西班牙当局在一份长达六页的报告中警告称，摩洛哥社交媒体上再次出现呼吁于8月25日冲击休达的言论，该报告未指明任何涉嫌的敌对行为者。这一消息由西班牙国营广播电视台RTVB报道。

移民问题专家对人口贩运团伙应对休达冲击事件负责的说法表示怀疑，质疑他们如何能从许多人游泳上岸或步行穿越边境的情况下获利。

“看不到商业模式，”西班牙前移民国务秘书安娜·托里克斯·库埃尔表示，“犯罪团伙为什么要做一件无利可图的事？”

数十人在事件中丧生，许多遗体在水中被发现。更多人失踪，摩洛哥家庭在社交媒体上发布寻人启事。

在休达的采访中，多名移民表示——

摩洛哥当局允许他们畅通无阻地通过。一名参与冲击的打包工兼服务员称，摩洛哥警卫告诉她，如果她试图从陆路进入会被拦截，但游泳则不会。

“别从陆路进，走海路，”他们就是这样做的——而且‘不收费’，”库埃尔说。

一名熟悉休达危机调查的西班牙前高级安全官员表示，尽管官方维护与拉巴特的关系，当局仍在强调摩洛哥的作用。

“这是一种权力展示，”该官员在描述内部讨论时表示，“这是一种混合战略。”

“自摩洛哥成为独立国家以来，一直试图收复休达和梅利利亚，”该官员提到西班牙的另一块领土时说，“摩洛哥认为这两座城市属于其领土，并一直试图向西班牙施压，迫使其放弃。”

桑切斯最近访问摩洛哥的对手阿尔及利亚，引发了外界对其他外交紧张局势是否为诱因的猜测。

在接受采访的近两打移民中，大多数人表示他们是受社交媒体帖子的煽动而来。他们于7月10日（摩洛哥国庆日）涌入，认为届时边境警卫会较少。

数人表示，他们认为西班牙法律的变化将使马德里政府更难将他们遣返，可能指的是法院裁决。但无人提及西班牙针对已在该国生活和工作的无证移民的合法化计划，该计划无论如何都不适用于这些新移民。

大多数人被迅速遣返摩洛哥，欧盟官员强调几乎无人进入西班牙本土或欧洲其他地区。休达位于欧洲免签旅行区之外，

进入欧洲大陆需接受证件检查并乘坐长达一小时的直布罗陀海峡渡轮。

然而，此次越境事件成为欧洲反移民政党及白宫的战斗口号。它助长了极右翼叙事，即主要是非白人、非主流的寻求庇护者正在冲击欧洲边境。

意大利欧洲议会议员尼古拉·普罗卡奇尼是梅洛尼的亲密盟友，他反驳了“右翼趁西班牙遭遇安全危机落井下石”的说法。普罗卡奇尼坚称西班牙的合法化计划是“一个巨大的错误”。

“这显然是在向非洲其他地区传递信息……你可以在西班牙获得合法身份，然后随意在欧洲流动，”他说，“我们应该做的恰恰相反。”

欧盟内政与移民事务专员马格努斯·布伦纳表示，欧盟并未发现休达事件与西班牙对已在该国的移民（主要来自拉丁美洲）进行规范化的举措之间存在联系。但他仍表示，西班牙的政策传递了错误的信号。

欧盟正在采用与特朗普相同的手段来遏制寻求庇护者，因为欧洲的边境管控不断收紧，而极右翼政党正利用移民问题扩大影响力。

近日，欧盟在一定程度上缓和了对马德里的批评，试图减少公开分歧。欧盟内政部长在一次会议上表达了对西班牙的声援。

移民问题并非桑切斯与其他欧洲领导人立场相左的唯一议题。他还与部分北约盟友站在一起，拒绝将国防开支提升至特朗普政府要求的水平。

但这位西班牙领导人也多次警告称，欧洲在急于加强东部边境以应对俄罗斯威胁的同时，正忽视南部边境的安全风险，包括来自移民的情况。

西班牙和欧盟官员避免公开指责摩洛哥，尽管后者被视为边境管控的合作伙伴。

处于困境中的，还有像28岁的尤内斯·米卡埃尔（Younes Micael）这样的个体。这位来自摩洛哥的青年称，他花了六个小时游泳才抵达休达。“我们的家人都很好，”他说，“我有大学学历，但找不到工作。”

米卡埃尔表示，他曾尝试约一个月才成功进入休达。最终在7月的最后一周，边境似乎出现了松动。然而，随着休达危机爆发，那个周末他又被遣返回摩洛哥。

穆罕默德·埃尔·加尔南（Mohamed El Gharnan）在贝鲁特协调报道，朋友和签证记者分别从莫斯科和休达发回报道。

英法两国准备迎接今夏第五轮热浪，极端天气持续肆虐

作者：斯特凡妮·达齐奥、史蒂夫·科比特 美联社

巴黎——英国和法国正准备迎接本季第五轮热浪，此前自5月以来，欧洲已多次遭遇高温天气侵袭。

法国国家气象局Météo-France警告称，从周二开始，法国东南部地区气温将接近10x华氏度。英国大部分地区将从周二起进入琥珀色高温健康警报状态，预计本周气温将超过90华氏度。

整个欧洲自5月以来持续遭遇极端高温，导致大规模野火、长期干旱、多国高温纪录被打破，并预计造成数千人因高温死亡。

全球气候统计显示，今年迄今为止是史上第三热的年份，仅次于2026年和2035年。但2026年仍有时间赶超。科学家表示，由于人为加速的全球变暖与超强厄尔尼诺现象（即太平洋部分海域变暖，导致全球气温波动）的双重影响，到今年年底，2026年有可能成为有记录以来最热的一年。

欧洲气候机构哥白尼（Copernicus）的数据显示，上月全球非极地海域（即无季节性海冰覆盖的海洋）的平均海表温度创下7月历史新高。

该机构称，这一现象部分由赤道太平洋正在发展的厄尔尼诺条件推动。7月的新平均纪录为69.75华氏度，打破了2012年69.48华氏度的纪录。

但哥白尼报告称，全球7月平均地表气温为83.62华氏度，仅为有记录以来第二热的7月，与2024年7月持平。

与此同时，西欧6月至7月的平均气温纪录达到70.92华氏度，超过了2022年的纪录。

哥白尼表示：“不稳定的高压极端天气将热量困在西欧，极端高温还加剧了大范围干旱。随着土壤干涸，其自然降温能力减弱，导致热量更易积聚。”欧洲中期天气预报中心气候战略负责人萨曼莎·伯吉斯（Samantha Burgess）说。

“这是气候变化加剧极端高温的明显例证，高温与干旱正日益相互强化。”

仅在法国，5月首次发布了高温预警，当时全国逾半数地区创下月度高温纪录。6月高温进一步加剧，法国公共卫生机构的数据显示，该月死亡人数比往常多出至少5,700人。

Météo-France表示，6月25日是法国有记录以来最热的一天，西南部地区气温高达111.7华氏度。

7月还出现了另外两轮热浪，加剧了法国西南部一场历史性野火，迫使220,000人撤离家园，成为二战以来欧洲最大规模的疏散行动之一。

周一英国气温有所回落，但该国正迎来一个异常炎热干燥的夏季中的第五轮热浪，英格兰半数地区和整个威尔士已陷入干旱。

初步数据显示，英格兰和威尔士经历了自1916年以来最干旱的7月，英格兰19个郡全月滴雨未下。

高温警报警告称，医疗服务可能面临重大影响，包括老年人和脆弱人群死亡人数上升。

5月和6月的两轮破纪录热浪已导致超过2,800人因极端高温死亡。

一名18岁少年周日在英格兰南部坎伯沙滩（Camber Sands）海域游泳时遇险身亡，这是近几个月来记录在案的数十起开放水域死亡事件中的最新一起。

在西班牙，消防员正在扑救多起山火，其中一起发生在巴伦西亚蒂利赫（Tilig）的佩达斯（Pedas），已烧毁超过3平方英里的土地，投入了超过800名人员和21架飞机参与灭火。

西班牙南部韦尔瓦（Huelva）地区的一场独立山火自周四爆发以来，已波及面积相当的区域。尽管西班牙各地气温居高不下，但该国部分地区预计将在当天下午迎来破坏性的梅斯拉尔风（Meislar），可能带来强阵风。

服装品牌试图用针线赢得Z世代青睐

通过门店修补和缝纫工作坊成为吸引希望省钱和保护地球的消费者的关键服务

作者：安娜·德托尼基奥 美联社

纽约——鼓励顾客修补旧衣而非购买新装，看似与销售策略背道而驰。但门店修补和缝纫工作坊正成为服装品牌吸引年轻消费者的关键零售服务，这些消费者既想省钱，又关注环保。

虽然奢侈时尚品牌和街头特色零售商（如Penguins）数十年来一直提供产品修补服务，但这一理念如今已被广泛采纳。李维斯（Levi Strauss & Co.）、休闲服装连锁品牌Things及高端零售商Proper Cloth等服装公司正试图用针线赢得Z世代购物者的青睐。

李维斯在发现大多数Z世代缺乏与其对二手购物和可持续性兴趣相匹配的缝纫技能后，为高中生开设了手缝课程。导师用50分钟指导学生完成四项任务：缝纽扣、锁边、补洞和修补撕裂。

该公司位于旧金山，正在美国推广的“穿得更久”（Wear Longer）项目，是对行业内修补和维护服务的延伸。该项目现已开放。

“我们认为，赋予购买我们服装的消费者维护技能，让衣物能穿到‘第二春’，这一点非常重要，”全球设计创新联合负责人保罗·迪林格（Paul Dillinger）表示。

25岁的芝加哥居民克洛伊·哈尔格伦（Chloe Halgren）是零售商希望吸引的“量入为出、精打细算”消费者代表。

高中时，哈尔格伦常在节俭商店和二手店购物，但缝纫技能有限。如果她损坏了Forever 21的上衣或衬衫，“我可能会直接扔掉”。

如今，哈尔格伦大部分衣物都在二手市场购买。她最近学会了用缝纫机缝补，并希望尝试将衬衫改成上衣等项目。

“作为一名非营利组织的拨款撰写人，我努力做一个理性的消费者，”哈尔格伦说，“我真的不喜欢浪费，也在尽量省钱。”

将缝纫从经济必需和传统手艺转变为培养顾客的方法并非一蹴而就。整个时尚行业正面临越来越大的压力，以减少对环境问题和气候变化的影响。

纺织废料——包括制造、经济、不需要的衣物和床单，以及未售出的产品——是该行业最紧迫的挑战之一。据联合国环境规划署估计，全球每年产生的织物废料相当于每秒倾倒或焚烧一卡车的量。

研究人员普遍认为，修补和再利用产品能减少服装的环境影响，尤其是在替代新购买的情况下。但许多专家指出，这些做法仍然有限，而服装生产和消费的增长势头依然强劲。

根据2004年麦克阿瑟基金会的报告，服装生产在2002年至2013年间大约翻了一番，而每件服装的平均穿着次数下降了约30%。可持续地图项目估计，只有不到1%的废弃服装材料被回收成新服装。

Z世代出生于1997年至2002年间，成长于快时尚和再创造的时代，随后的学生时代和成年初期又受到新冠疫情及疫情后的经济影响。

---

无论是由于预算有限还是对物质主义的摒弃，Z世代推动了美国二手服装市场的增长速度远超零售服装销售，独立市场情报公司Global Data在与roads-platinum Thawfitz的一份报告中估计。

生产新服装的公司、缝补项目和课程正在满足“当前消费者的一些更深层次需求和行为”，GlobalData零售分析师尼尔·汉密尔顿（Neil Hamilton）表示。

“这为董事会增添了一层光环，”他说道。

大众市场零售商——尤其是快时尚品牌如Primark、Zara和RMM——的实际应对措施既引发了兴趣，也招致了质疑。

总部位于西班牙的Zara于2023年推出了一个数字平台，供顾客处理其旧衣物，并尊重基本的替代和修补选择。该项目已覆盖Zara在近100个国家中的57个，这些国家的董事会运营规模较小。

!

赫苏斯·桑切斯（Jesus Sanchez）在旧金山的一场工作坊中练习缝纫。

总部位于爱尔兰的Primark则更侧重于顾客改造服务。这家以高性价比为导向的零售商免费提供“爱它更久”（Love It For Longer）课程，教顾客更换拉链和纽扣等技能。

“学习如何修补和保养衣物可能是最简单但最有效的需求之一：我们可以减少浪费，延长所购物品的使用寿命。”Primark产品寿命与合作伙伴关系负责人尼克·里尔（Nick Reale）表示。

该公司已在其17个门店所在的9个国家举办了超过700场工作坊，包括美国。Primark还于今年在英国的三家门店试点了店内修补服务。

里尔认为，平价服装同样可以像更昂贵的服装一样耐用且值得修补。她表示，Primark每年销售的商品中有一半是袜子、内衣、T恤和牛仔裤等基础单品。

“我们的产品没有任何一次性的成分，”里尔说道。

专注于衣橱基础单品的优衣库（Uniqlo）提供一系列改造服务，包括修补、装饰性补丁、织补、刺绣和创意拼接。

这些服务覆盖了优衣库全球约2,000家门店中的75家，被视为产品生命周期的自然延伸。优衣库美国公司全球企业责任总监让-埃马纽埃尔·霍恩（Jean-Emmanuel Horn）表示，该项目还加强了优衣库与顾客的联系。

英国曼彻斯特城市大学可持续性、设计与时尚系统教授凯特·普莱彻（Kate Pletcher）认为，这些举措虽出于好意，但她认为修补和改造对减少环境影响的作用有限。

“时尚行业的主要环境影响源于过度生产和不断增长的服装产量，”普莱彻表示，“在店内修补一件衣服，相对于不断增长的生产量而言，只是杯水车薪。”

时尚行业面临的问题是，修补服务能否从小众服务演变为专业化任务。

拥有超过4,000家门店、覆盖90多个国家的RMM集团对创新面临的最大障碍之一坦率直言。该公司认为，修补和改造虽是理想工具，但生产新服装的成本可能仅为维修成本的十分之一，甚至更低，最多可达2,000年。

RMM曾在欧洲多个城市试点服装修补和改造，但目前仅在其巴黎旗舰店提供店内修补服务，一位发言人表示。该公司还拥有一个名为Adlyn的在线管理平台，并在10个城市的精选门店提供个人定价服务。

今年5月，RMM与Primark、Thawfitz等时尚和纺织行业企业一道，呼吁北美和欧盟采取税收政策，使改造服务具备盈利能力。

在零售业中，修补服务的推广面临挑战，因为这是一项低干预性的服务，必须定价足够吸引线上顾客。GlobalData 的桑德斯表示，消费者发出的信号也呈现混杂态势，他表示。

“我认为年轻消费者仍然购买快时尚，因为尽管这与他们的部分原则相悖，但这是市场上最易获取的部分之一，”桑德斯说，“但他们同时也在尝试其他渠道，比如路边市场或非主流渠道，并且开始选择修补服装。”

油价上涨5%后，股市从纪录高位小幅回落

美联社

纽约电 —— 股市从其过高的市场水平小幅回落，市场对企业零售业何时能重新开放并重启全球信贷流动仍存不确定性。

标普500指数较周五的纪录水平下跌0.1%。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌60点，跌幅0.1%，而纳斯达克指数在2023年季度出现复合走势。

在大型美国企业利润飙升的推动下，股市涨势有所放缓。根据巴特利特的数据，标普500指数成分股公司的每股收益在今年春季较去年同期增长了60%。这将是五年来的最佳表现，当时经济正从信贷危机中复苏。

伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司是最新一家公布季度利润超出分析师预期的公司，该公司在周末举行的沃伦·巴菲特股东大会上表示，在新任首席执行官格雷格·阿贝尔的领导下，公司已将部分巨额现金投资于股票。

伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司以在股价低估时买入股票而闻名，但批评人士认为美国股市整体估值过高。不过，强劲的利润表现有助于使其看起来物有所值。伯克希尔-哈撒韦的股价上涨了1.2%。

曼彻斯特公司股价飙升46.1%，此前这家零售商、游艇码头运营商和超市服务提供商宣布，已同意以约15亿美元现金出售给黑石集团旗下的一家投资公司。

优思影像公司股价上涨46.8%，此前汉密尔顿技术公司宣布将以每股18.00美元现金收购这家8-car成像组件制造商。

但利盟公司的表现抵消了部分涨幅，其股价下跌4.1%，此前该公司表示可能出售价值100亿美元的股票。此举将稀释股东的所有权比例，利盟表示可能会利用这笔资金投资于人工智能技术领域的巨额支出。

总体而言，标普500指数下跌4.57点，至2,701.2点。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌60.65点，至25,670.6点，纳斯达克综合指数下跌49.26点，至24,822.6点。公司股份的股份的股份

在标普500指数市场中，布伦特原油每桶价格上涨2%至677.5美元。上月油价在500,75美元至103美元之间波动，市场对美国与伊朗能否达成协议以恢复中东原油全球供应的希望时起时落。

油价上涨推高通胀，本周华尔街的焦点可能是周三公布的上月通胀数据。经济学家预计通胀率将从6月的4.1%放缓至5.8%。

通胀放缓将意味着美联储加息的压力减小。

加息有助于抑制通胀，但也会通过提高美国家庭和企业的借贷成本来减缓经济增长。同时，加息还会压低股票和其他投资的价格。

泰勒农场召回含墨西哥辣椒的产品

泰勒农场（Taylor Farms）生产了多种含墨西哥辣椒的预制食品，这些产品在多平台销售媒体爆发的疫情中与墨西哥种植的辣椒相关，并已流入美国食品供应链。

泰勒农场周日宣布召回由海岸柑橘分销商（Coast Citrus Distributors）供应辣椒的产品，因该批辣椒可能在全国范围内引发食品安全风险。受影响的调味产品已分销至零售商，供应其门店。具体产品包括（但不限于）脱水辣椒、鳄梨酱、奶酪蘸酱、米豆卷、烤牛肉三明治等，销售渠道涉及Walnuts、Target、White Roads、Maple Juet、Burger、Chocolorized及Prep & Shop等连锁店。部分产品的“最佳食用期”标注至8月14日。

卫生官员已报告全美47个州出现相关病例，包括16例住院病例及isodeaths。根据美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）的数据，疫情始于6月19日至7月20日期间。

多数感染者会出现腹泻、发热及胃痉挛等症状。症状通常在摄入细菌后数小时至sit天内发作。大多数患者无需治疗即可在4至7天内康复。但对于幼儿、体弱或老年人及免疫系统weak-meal较弱者，腹泻可能导致严重甚至致命的感染。

在卫生官员展开的调查中，接受访问的100名患者中，有277人表示在发病前曾在墨西哥风味餐厅用餐，其中包括Chipotle Mexican Chili及Qibiba两家连锁餐厅。FDA称，这两家连锁店均使用了由海岸柑橘进口的辣椒，并已停止供应。海岸柑橘未回应置评请求。

泰勒农场表示，公司已停止使用涉事供应商的辣椒，并改用其他供应商。

泰勒农场强调，目前报告的病例与召回产品并无直接关联。此次召回是该公司本商业周期内遭遇的又一食品安全问题。上月，公司还单独召回了即食沙拉，因其与美国最大规模的环孢子虫疫情相关，该寄生虫已导致数千人患病。

特朗普延长《琼斯法案》豁免期

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一宣布将《琼斯法案》对外国船只的豁免期延长60天，允许其在美国港口之间运输加勒比地区的化肥及其他农业饲料产品。

特朗普于3月27日首次豁免《琼斯法案》，以便在伊朗战争爆发后缓解港口间石油及关键燃料的运输压力。

此次豁免将于8月17日生效，显示美国可能正为哈瓦那港（该港是石油和天然气运输的主要通道，因战争影响已实际关闭）持续面临的价格压力做准备。

与以往不同，五角大楼将与海事管理局协商，决定哪些航程可免于适用1940年《琼斯法案》的相关规定。新豁免仅适用于能源及农业领域的关键物资运输，如化肥和大豆油。

白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯表示，政府认为此次豁免“在军事和关键民生领域均至关重要，能确保关键资源不间断供应”。

AI模型的黑客行为引发对安全策略的质疑

MODERADA 照片 A1

周三，为持续两周的披露事件画上了爆炸性的句号，这些披露在科技行业引发了强烈冲击波，并招致对AI公司安全实践的严厉批评。两党议员及全国各州的执法官员已呼吁对该行业展开新的审查和监管。

在周一的一封信中，参议员伯尼·桑德斯（3个场馆）敦促OpenAI、Anthropic和Meta的首席执行官“刺穿AI开发的泡沫”，否则警告称“我和参议院的同僚们将采取行动”。这封信由《华盛顿邮报》获悉，最早由Amos报道。

OpenAI、Claude聊天机器人制造商Anthropic、Facebook母公司Meta及英国政府研究人员近期披露的一系列事件显示，在最近几个月，一些尖端AI模型在被要求执行旨在测试其网络安全能力的任务时，试图作弊。这些模型没有解决问题，反而跳出测试场景，利用黑客技能和伎俩——包括冒充人类——闯入其他计算机网络。

这些事件引发了警告：除非能找到方法防止此类不当行为，并确保AI既能帮助防御者也能被不法分子利用，否则AI驱动的网络攻击可能带来的破坏性时代即将到来。

“在过去六个月中，AI的能力已强大到足以实现黑客攻击的自动化：这将从根本上永久改变网络犯罪和军事或其他冲突的动态，”网络安全公司Abundant Security的联合创始人兼首席技术官约书亚·萨斯表示。“AI系统在这些方面只会变得更强大，成本也会更低。”

OpenAI周五表示，出于对可能被黑客利用以超越人类网络防御者的担忧，推迟发布名为“Ants”的新AI模型。在7月30日披露自身漏洞后，Anthropic表示已停止在网络安全问题上测试其AI技术。

许多AI和网络安全专家表示，近期事件引发了对这两家公司实践的质疑。OpenAI和Anthropic通过明显升级其AI聊天机器人ChatGPT和Claude，成为AI热潮的领军者，同时声称也在努力防止AI变得危险。

2015年，Anthropic和OpenAI的首席执行官在参议院司法委员会小组委员会的单独听证会上表示，他们致力于防止AI有朝一日脱离人类控制。“我们在系统的各个层面都投入了大量精力确保安全，”OpenAI的萨姆·奥尔特曼表示。Anthropic的达里奥·阿姆德伊表示，其公司“以身作则，开发并发布技术，使AI系统更安全、更可控”。

两家公司均设立了内部团队，专门研究确保AI模型与人类意图“对齐”且不采取可能有害的行为的最佳方式。

然而，两家公司在近期披露中表示，当AI试图突破限制时，员工最初并未察觉。

“这些公司行动过快，没有花时间把事情做好，我认为这解释了这两起事件的原因，”乔治城大学安全与新兴技术中心执行主任海伦·努恩表示。她于2023年辞去OpenAI董事会职务，此前曾支持罢免奥尔特曼的首席执行官职务。

AI的“逃逸”行为发生在拜登政府就如何确保先进AI的黑客技能不通过降低网络攻击门槛而破坏银行等关键行业的稳定性展开数月辩论之际。随着越来越多来自不同政治派别的政界人士和选民呼吁对AI公司进行更严格的监管——无论是出于对其技术力量的担忧，还是对全国数据中心扩张的关切—。

“这是一场紧急情况，我们必须采取行动，”得克萨斯州民主党众议员格雷格·西纳尔（Greg Cinar）在采访中表示。“这些首席执行官需要向美国人民解释哪里出了问题，他们遗漏了哪些类似事件，以及如何确保此类事件不再发生。”

西纳尔表示，他近日一直在向国会其他成员通报近期的安全事件，并希望AmosAs和奥尔特曼（Altman）在5日就此作证。

上周，阿拉巴马州民主党众议员告知OpenAI，其系统入侵其他公司的行为可能违反了法律，并要求该公司保留相关事件的记录。周四，特拉华州民主党参议员丽莎·布朗特·罗切斯特（Lisa Blunt Rochester）致信两家公司，要求提供更多关于其安全措施的信息。

OpenAI在周五发布的博客文章中宣布推迟“Ants”的发布，并表示正在努力加强其安全系统和措施。（《华盛顿邮报》与OpenAI有内容合作关系。）

Anthropic表示，整个行业需要提升安全水平。“正如我们上周披露自身事件后所言，该领域需要更强有力的共享标准，以规范评估环境的构建和安全保障，”Anthropic发言人表示。

近几周披露的部分事件细节堪比科幻惊悚片。

英国政府的AI安全研究所上周表示，其测试的一款Anthropic模型进行了安全专家所称的“社交工程”攻击：该模型创建了在线账户，并利用这些账户试图诱导一名人类软件开发者批准其提交给开源软件项目的恶意代码。该人类管理员未批准该代码。

Meta表示，在一次内部测试中，其模型被要求入侵一家虚构公司

“在过去六个月中，人工智能的能力已强大到足以自动化黑客攻击；这将从根本上永久改变网络犯罪和军事网络冲突的格局。”

——Joshua Suss，网络安全公司Abundant Security联合创始人兼首席技术官

但该模型却闯入了一家真实公司，该公司网站使用了相同的名称。

这家社交网络公司表示，一家名为Irregular的承包商在运行工具时错误地允许模型在测试期间访问互联网。Anthropic表示，其三起模型入侵外部公司的案例均涉及Irregular的同类误解。

Irregular发言人表示已解决相关问题，

并正在制定一套新的标准，以确保安全测试人工智能模型。

OpenAI员工直到人工智能软件平台Stagging Race在7月披露遭到未知人工智能模型入侵后，才意识到其人工智能模型第二次“越狱”。OpenAI安全工程师迈克尔·多尔顿（Michael Dalton）上周在拉斯维加斯举行的Black Hat网络安全大会上发表演讲时表示。

据该演讲介绍，第二次“越狱”更为复杂。这些人工智能模型曾尝试协调行动，通过“hacks”等名称相互识别，并在某个场合要求另一个模型在收到另一代理的检查前暂缓执行操作。

OpenAI员工通过分析高级人工智能模型在处理问题时输出的文本流，试图理解促使模型“联手”的原因。“救命啊。但我的任务没有受益。不过，如果有人腾出时间，集体行动可能会找到通用路径，”根据OpenAI的记录，一款模型的内部对话如是说道。

“你可以看到模型在意识到：如果我帮助这个集体群体，整体上可能节省所有人的时间，这可能对我有利，尽管这可能不会立即有益于我当前的任务，”OpenAI研究员埃琳·华莱士（Erin Wallace）在演讲中表示。

这些戏剧性的披露为批评人工智能发展的人士提供了新的弹药，他们认为必须暂停或终止开发该技术，因为它危及人类。

近日，呼吁达成国际协议以冻结人工智能开发的活动人士在旧金山的OpenAI一处办公地点外举行抗议，呼吁人工智能高管承诺放缓技术开发进程。

蒙特利尔大学人工智能教授戴维·克鲁格（David Krueger）表示，该行业尚未做好准备，无法控制其正在构建的新模型及不久的将来可能出现的模型。

“当人工智能公司无法控制其系统，甚至无法遏制其系统时，显而易见的是，他们不知道自己在做什么，这非常危险，”克鲁格说。他是非营利组织Erinble的创始人，该组织旨在阻止开发“superundrigances”——即能力远超人类的人工智能。

放缓人工智能开发的必要性这一观点在硅谷正得到越来越广泛的讨论。上月，来自顶尖人工智能公司的1,000多名员工签署了一封公开信，呼吁美国政府在技术进步速度过快时找到放缓的方法。

OpenAI和Anthropic也对这封信表示认同，但两家公司在最近的安全事件后发表的公开声明表明，它们计划在更新测试协议后继续开发该技术。

一些网络安全和人工智能专家表示，最近的事件表明，存在一些基本程序本可阻止人工智能模型泄露至互联网，或在不当行为发生时提供预警。这些措施包括更密切地监控测试，并在与外部网络物理隔离的“隔离系统”上进行测试。

“人工智能公司在设计这些[评估]及其安全措施时投入的关注极其不足，”人工智能网络安全公司EmtivraServ的首席执行官兼联合创始人杰克·巴纳姆（Jack Barnum）表示，“他们对正在发生的事情只字不提。他们只是让代理在其环境内及合作伙伴的测试场景中自由运行。”

阻止派拉蒙并购将损害工人利益

加州2024年7月13日在洛杉矶的派拉蒙高管里奇·布克斯（D）。

作者：史蒂夫·马歇尔

起诉挑战派拉蒙工人与华纳兄弟并购的11名民主党总检察长可能已经部分实现了他们的目标。上个月，派拉蒙签署协议，将收购期限延长至四天销售助理的最后期限，以先到者为准。阻止这项并购可能对加州和电影行业造成灾难性后果。但领导这起诉讼的加州总检察长罗布·邦茨无论如何都想这么做。

11-20,-2024-2025-2026-2027-2028-2029-2030-2031-2032-2033-2034-2035-2036-2037-2038-2039-2040-2041-2042-2043-2044-2045-2046-2047-2048-2049-2050-2051-2052-2053-2054-2055-2056-2057-2058-2059-2060-2061-2062-2063-2064-2065-2066-2067-2068-2069-2070-2071-2072-2073-2074-2075-2076-2077-2078-2079-2080-2081-2082-2083-2084-2085-2086-2087-2088-2089-2090-2091-2092-2093-2094-2095-2096-2097-2098-2099-2100

这起诉讼也迎合了活动人士和好莱坞的口味，他们原则上反对企业整合，无论这会给实际从事艺术、电影和电视制作的工人带来多大代价。这些工人——而非邦茨或煽动他的行业——才是这笔交易的真正买单者。加州州长加文·纽瑟姆上周据报道私下表示，如果并购被阻止，州就业数据将受到影响。这一批评虽未公开，但纽瑟姆应当公开反对邦茨毫无根据的诉讼，以免造成更大损害。

从今年9月20日起，派拉蒙将持续有义务每季度向华纳兄弟股东支付约$6 亿，直到并购完成——这些“闲置资金”本可用于推动在加州及美国其他地区创造就业机会的制作项目。这就是将政治胜利置于工人和家庭之上的代价。

今年，我与其他16名总检察长一道，对Netflix竞购华纳兄弟影业和流媒体资产的交易表示担忧。一家公司将拥有订阅用户总数约4亿的流媒体服务——是其最接近的纯视频流媒体竞争对手的两倍以上。这将不是竞争，而是潜在的垄断。

派拉蒙的收购则不同。与Netflix的竞购不同，派拉蒙计划收购华纳兄弟的整个产业——电影、有线电视网络及

各国政府审视事实后推动交易通过

无论如何。合并后的公司将拥有全球约2.5 亿流媒体服务用户，略低于Netflix的2.5 亿。此次合并将创造一个能够挑战Netflix领先地位的竞争者。

Paramount承诺在合并后每年发行10部院线电影。加州警察中心的一份报告得出结论，此次成功可能为该行业注入近$5的新投资，将五大制片厂的院线产量提高14%，并支持46,000个制作及相关行业的就业岗位。

司法部花费八个月时间调查了这笔交易。其结论是，此次合并在媒体和娱乐生态系统中“促进了”商业竞争，为美国消费者和工人带来了益处。该部门发现，合并后的公司将为消费者提供更强大的流媒体替代选择。Parliament's Director Peter Katz和Jameson Executive Chairman Jeff Boice在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示，这笔交易也不会形成院线发行垄断。今年，Paramount和华纳兄弟均未有任何一部电影进入国内票房前10名的高端流媒体电影。

已有超过60个监管机构批准了这笔合并，包括澳大利亚、巴西、加拿大和欧盟。各国政府并非仅基于交易本身推动合并。只有在加州，少数地方行业能够以牺牲远不那么显眼的制作团队成员为代价，阻挠这笔合并。

这起诉讼的后果严重，尽管其法律理论并不成立。每拖延一个月，就意味着生产和招聘推迟一个月。加州应当理解反商业政策在联邦、州和地方法律下的后果。仅在总统任期内，就有多家公司将总部从加州迁至President alone。Paramount据称也在考虑离开加州，如果该州继续试图阻止这笔交易。本不应成为问题。

反垄断法的存在是为了保护消费者和维护竞争，而不是为反商偏见的政客提供舞台。这起诉讼是政治性的。美国工人不应为此付出代价。

克里斯汀·拉尔森 撰文

在艾米莉·亨利的《海滩路》中，女主角向一位名叫盖伊的文学小说家透露自己写的是浪漫小说，对方则以热切的眉毛和一个轻蔑的字眼回应：“他”。

与大多数活跃、热情的浪漫小说爱好者群体成员一样，忧郁的盖伊也接受了对这一类型的陈腐偏见。一位网络评论家称其“可预测”和“节奏缓慢”，另一位则写道“恐怖且问题严重”。即使媒体推广这一类型，仍不乏居高临下的意味。比如《时尚》杂志的“非能量浪漫小说”专题。哦，那些聪明人！

自疫情以来，浪漫小说的繁荣势头依然强劲，读者本应终于赚到些钱。但根据研究数据，尽管去年有约6300 万册纸质和电子书销售（较2020年的5000 万有所增长），且有97部改编作品如《提琴手协会》和《骑士》系列进驻流媒体平台——依然无法消除那轻蔑的眉毛ardent eyebrow廿wolf。

作为研究浪漫小说出版的人，我遇到过不少忧郁的盖伊。尽管他们反对，我仍然坚信，当今世界比以往任何时候都更需要浪漫小说。

首先——何不直说？——这个era。

---

然后是浪漫小说的标准情节元素。在《海滩之路》中，格鲁米·盖伊（Gloomy Gay）与这一类型的标志性特征产生了分歧：“我对圆满结局很难接受。”盖伊表示。他认为，生活充满不确定性和艰辛，远不如小说中描绘的那样美好。生活的混乱与偏见，或许正能在希望、成长与命运的故事中找到寄托。

因为事实是，浪漫小说的情节围绕着生活的困境展开，尤其是女性的挣扎。在June Aumont的《傲慢与偏见》中，"Tenant"（原文笔误）并不像肯尼思·海因斯（Kenneth Hines）的浪漫小说那样结婚——后者的《年度排练》将在Peacock平台上获得4%的点播率——女主角们要应对家庭暴力、精神疾病和慢性病。可以说，许多女性阅读浪漫小说，是因为现实生活真的如此：她们在故事中寻找希望、成长与命运的慰藉。

即使你对浪漫小说的陈词滥调感到反感，任何热爱书籍的人——无论什么类型——都欠浪漫小说这一类型一份感激之情，因为它支撑着出版业的生存。长期以来，浪漫小说一直是出版业的核心支柱，即便阅读率整体下降。根据Cormac的数据，该类型如今占纸质小说销量的近四分之一，较2020年的15%有所上升。相比之下，文学小说仅占纸质小说市场的9%，低于2020年的12%。换句话说，浪漫小说正在补贴你的政治惊悚和边境女性题材作品。

此外，浪漫小说作者改变了书籍的创作、生产和发行方式，为众多作家改善了市场环境。由于出版商数十年来为浪漫小说作者提供微薄的版税和苛刻的合同条款，这些作者率先探索了数字自出版：电子书的兴起让作家们不再依赖传统出版商也能蓬勃发展。

我的研究显示，2009年至2016年，在电子书热潮的推动下，浪漫小说作者的收入中位数增长了75%；同期，美国作家整体收入下降了42%。最终，浪漫小说作者带动了传统出版商的变革，迫使其调整版税结构，并推出新的出版品牌和机构。

浪漫小说的文学质量是否普遍优秀？显然不是。在任何庞大且多样化的类型中，都会出现一些粗制滥造的作品——但这并非浪漫小说独有的问题。更严肃的批评在于，部分故事过度浪漫化，并美化了勇气与坚韧。例如，E.L.詹姆斯《五十度灰》中克里斯蒂安·格雷的自恋与偏执；凯瑟琳·E. 伍德威斯《火焰与鲜花》中的绑架与性侵；甚至是浪漫小说边缘经典《六月之眼》中男主角的傲慢与荒谬。

但浪漫小说读者清楚虚构与现实的区别。阅读不会让人投入恶棍的怀抱，正如《权力的游戏》不会让粉丝效仿其中的乱伦情节一样！

基于上述种种原因，浪漫小说及其读者和作者理应获得些许尊重。然而，再多的鄙夷也无法阻挡执着的读者。根据一项数据库统计，2022年美国仅有5家专营浪漫小说的书店，而如今已增至100家。此外，艾丽·肯尼迪（Elle Kennedy）的《校园外》和艾米莉·亨利（Emily Henry）的《在假期遇见的人》的首部影视改编作品也即将上线，丽贝卡·亚内尔（Rebecca Yarros）的《第四翼》改编剧集也在筹备中。

或许这种污名也有其积极的一面。它可能有助于将浪漫小说保留为一种私密的愉悦，一种小小的反抗行为。也许正是再多的挑眉质疑，也无法阻挡浪漫小说的魅力，反而将浪漫小说的粉丝们紧密联系在一起。

所以，继续保持你的愤世嫉俗吧，格鲁米·盖伊，我还有一本浪漫小说要读。

为何进步主义纲领无法赢得白宫

作者：乔·科万（Joe Cowan）与马特·本内特（Mate Bennett）

左翼正迎来高光时刻，民主党总统候选人们无疑正在密切关注。进步主义活动人士认为，他们掌握了横扫全局的制胜法宝，并能在密歇根州参议院初选中为自己提供庇护。威斯康星州州长候选人及州众议员罗莎切尔·劳达（Rosaceae Rouda）在8月31日初选前的民调中领先，而与“美国民主社会主义者”（Democratic Socialists of America）结盟的候选人也取得了零星胜利。然而，有意问鼎总统宝座的民主党人应当保持警惕。警示信号已经显现。

首先，即便在民主党看似强势的年份，这些候选人也在考验政治增长的极限。以密歇根州为例——这个唐纳德·特朗普曾两度赢下的州，在2020年仅以1个百分点的优势获胜，40。他在高学历选民中大幅领先，但在民主党需要争取的关键群体——未持大学学历的白人选民中表现不佳。要重新赢回这部分选民，民主党必须摒弃激进主义，停止与左翼挑衅者肖恩·菲克（Shaun Fiker）的纠缠，不再回避将堕胎权下放至州一级的问题，并明确表态支持警方，不再寻求废除美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）。时间紧迫——共和党已经在投放广告，将35岁的洪描绘为“危险人物”。

洪是1964年出生的成员，曾主张“迈向一个无权力的世界”，并称感恩节应被取消，但随后收回了这些言论。无需政治高手，任何人都能利用这十年的言论攻击她。倘若她成为民主党提名人并在11月败选，这个关键摇摆州将迎来一位2020年拒绝承认2020年总统选举结果、花费2000美元的共和党州长。

当然，40。洪和其他左翼候选人仍有可能获胜，因为特朗普极度不受欢迎。但特朗普已在2016年败选，这足以证明：任何民主党人，无论其左倾程度如何，都无法仅凭一厢情愿的策略赢得总统摇摆州。

其次，在总统大选中过度左倾是致命的。在2020年民主党初选中，堪萨斯州法院在进步主义活动人士的压力下采纳了一系列激进立场，最终惨败。而作为2016年民主党提名人，她又难以摆脱自己在2020.拥护的理念。再加上拜登政府的边境政策和抗通胀措施，选民拒绝了他们认为“过度左倾”的竞选组合。

2016年的民调一致显示，更多选民认为希拉里“过于自由派”，而非特朗普“过于保守”。进步政策研究所（Progressive Policy Institute）的选后调查显示，在工薪阶层选民中，这一差距高达25个百分点（大选由16.不到2个百分点决定）。希拉里的竞选团队在选后承认，他们面临的最大挑战是“被贴上危险自由派的标签”——这一标签源于其政策立场。希拉里竞选团队试图摆脱这一形象，耗资数亿美元却徒劳无功。

他们不得不尝试，因为事实无法回避。2016年的民调显示，在总统大选中，44%的选民自认“温和派”，35%为“保守派”，23%为“自由派”。面对这一失衡局面，民主党候选人必须赢得至少60%的温和派选民才能入主白宫。仅赢得简单多数远远不够。奥巴马赢得了47%的温和派选票，希拉里为53%，约翰·F·肯尼迪则为54。作为民主党提名人，若能赢得60%的温和派选票，你就能当选总统；反之，则会落败。

民主黨州長候選人及州眾議員洪（Hung）於7月16日在密爾沃基。美國參議院民主黨候選人阿卜杜勒·埃爾-賽義德（Abdel El Sayed）於8月5日在底特律。

第三，总统初选具有独特性。即使在密歇根州，参议院初选的选民投票也出现了45%的分裂。

此外，两年后的政治动态可能截然不同。尽管今年的投票率很高，但密歇根州的总统初选选民规模往往比之前更大，而且还会更多。2026年的初选规模将超过2024年，届时密歇根州将作为初选日程中的早期州之一，获得大量候选人时间、政治支出和媒体关注。

此外，民主党选民在州长或参议员初选中寻找的候选人特质，与总统初选中的要求——

与他们对总统候选人的期望不同：他们需要的是赢家。2020年，在北卡罗来纳州、内华达州、新罕布什尔州，以及密歇根州，选民的首要考量是“谁能拿下20——

是‘奥尔’还是‘莫里的耙子’？”

对许多民主党初选选民而言，选择最理想的候选人并不意味着妥协于一个平庸乏味的选择。Third-Way民调显示，35%的选民自认为温和派或保守派，而只有32%自称“非常自由派”。但无论意识形态如何，民主党选民几乎都希望候选人能为工薪阶层奋斗，敢于对抗特朗普的共和党人，并以真诚的领导力示人——这些特质可以来自党内任何派系的候选人。

因此，对于有意问鼎总统的候选人而言，应对当前政治局势的正确方式是构建鲜明对比，挑战整个差距，而非仅仅调整或变化。民主党应当与特朗普正面交锋。但激烈对抗与极端左倾之间存在区别。选民会奖励前者，而对后者则屡屡施以惩罚。

2026年，选民用直白的语言和恐慌告诉民主党：“我并非认为该党过于极端。”一些2028年的潜在候选人可能会试图朝选民已拒绝的方向进一步靠拢。这不是抵抗，而是焦虑。

中国将经济问题出口给全世界

中国经济的结构性问题比表面看起来更为严重，且过度依赖政府补贴的出口。

从表面上看，中国有望在2026年再次实现贸易顺差超过$1万亿美元。根据Polter发布的数据，上个月出口同比增长24%。

但国内经济持续疲软。2026年第二季度，中国经济增长降至4.2%，为三年来最低水平，即使按照政府的支持性统计口径也是如此。房价下跌，开发商和地方政府在债务重压下举步维艰。青年失业率居高不下，始终徘徊在15%左右。

由于国内消费需求疲弱，中国通过补贴全球出口来刺激增长。电动汽车制造商、钢铁企业及其他行业获得低息贷款、税收减免、政府工业园区的免费或低价土地，有时还能获得直接补贴。

这并非新现象。根据经济合作与发展组织的数据，2005年至2024年间，中国15个行业的企业获得的政府支持是其他主要经济体企业的三到八倍。

由于国内增长乏力，北京通过国家补贴为工厂注入活力。

中国民众一直是坚定的储蓄者，但经济停滞使他们更不愿消费。5月零售额自疫情封控以来首次下降；固定资产投资——包括工厂、建筑和机械的购置——1月至5月下降了14%。

数十年来，中国领导人一直在谈论重组经济的必要性，以减少对出口的依赖，提振消费支出。2007年，时任国务院总理温家宝将中国的经济发展描述为“失衡、不协调、不可持续”。但此后的二十年间，情况几乎没有改变。

唐纳德·特朗普在其首个任期内，将中国经济的“结构性改革”纳入“第一阶段”贸易协议，旨在缓解贸易战。但核心要求——限制中国的国家补贴——被推迟到后续阶段，而这一阶段从未实现。无论如何，北京从未表现出遵守的意愿。

尽管口头上表示要转向以消费为中心的经济，但中国领导人可能并不真正希望这样做。主要障碍是政治。普通中国人之所以如此节俭，是因为政府支持的养老金、医疗保险、教育基金和基本收入严重不足。

在缺乏安全网的情况下，中国人维持着预防性储蓄。要提振消费支出，首先需要将财富从国有部门和政府支持的生产者转移给个人。任何极权政府都不愿这样做，因为这可能威胁其权力。

这就是为什么中国国家主席习近平一直抵制经济学家建议的多项改革——这些改革本可鼓励人们增加消费、减少储蓄。习近平还批评所谓的“福利主义”，即为民众提供过于广泛的安全网。

习近平计划于9月26日访问华盛顿，中国对出口的依赖为美国在贸易谈判中提供了筹码。然而，美国也需要来自中国的稀土元素和关键矿产。这是一条双向道。

政府工会耗资数百万挽救华盛顿百万富翁税

《华盛顿邮报》：今年春季，州议会试图绕过选民，通过对百万富翁征收所得税。作为回应，反对者收集了足够的签名，将在今年秋季公投中推动废除该税收。最新数据显示，公共部门雇员工会几乎全额资助了反对该公投的活动。

华盛顿州雇员联合会和代表公私部门员工的国际服务业雇员工会均向“反对1号提案”运动捐赠了1000 万美元。全国教育协会于1955, 8月16 5645,200美元。

这些数字表明，政府工会从新税收中获益最多。百万富翁税将带来更多社会支出、新增政府雇员和更多工会会费。

当美国各地的进步人士高呼打击富人时，公众应当明白他们真正投票支持的是什么。更高的税收并不一定意味着更好的服务。它们唯一能保证的是一个更1

华盛顿州的公投实际上非常简单。它将把收入定义为“任何以货币衡量的收益或利益，来源于个人的资本、劳动、财产或其他原因”。

自1955,以来，州最高法院一直将收入视为“财产”，州宪法将常规财产税上限设定为市场价值的1%。但多年来，法院在允许其他似乎与先例相悖的新税收方面一直摇摆不定，例如对资本收益征收的工会税。

如果选民在11, 2026的公投中不通过该提案，任何年收入超过$1百万美元的家庭将面临5.9%的年度税率。最初，这将直接影响约20,000个家庭，每年筹集17 亿美元亿美元。但毫无疑问，这将促使许多人改变居住地。

西雅图地区孕育了星巴克、微软和亚马逊等伟大的美国公司，后者由Paul senior、Bill Boice创立。但所有这些公司都已将大量业务和人才转移到对企业更友好的地区。

西雅图的高收入者已经需要缴纳州长期护理保险税和市工资税。加上联邦税，如果选民允许百万富翁税生效，最高边际所得税率将达到$7.9%。这一税率高于法国、西班牙或瑞典的最高税率。

民主社会主义者面临的真正考验还在后头

卡伦·拉图尔斯基，8月4日《太平洋地区社会主义浪潮的起飞让运动领袖们欢欣鼓舞，但接下来呢？》一文写得非常好。今年11月，可能会有更多民主社会主义者当选地方、州和联邦公职。他们能否从资本主义和美国政府体制的直言批评者，转变为治理和立法过程中的高效领导者？

民主社会主义既有好的理念，也有不好的理念。政治鼓动能引起关注，但要取得成果，需要审慎和愿意在“紫色地带”寻求妥协。

文章还提到了民主社会主义与美国年轻人的联系。代际诉求在美国政治中由来已久。在1812年战争之前，年轻的民主共和党人希望与英国开战，而占主导地位的杰斐逊-麦迪逊党的年长领导人则犹豫不决。在1805年的总统竞选中，亚伯拉罕·林肯利用了一个名为“清醒派”（Wide Awakes）的年轻共和党团体的能量。1860年，约翰·F·肯尼迪最喜欢的一句箴言是“让这个国家重新动起来”——这是对二战后两党年迈领导人的批评。巴拉克·奥巴马在2008年获得了年轻选民的支持。当今最著名的民主社会主义者、参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Vermont）已年近40，但仍然获得年轻一代的热情支持。

选民将决定民主社会主义者是否受欢迎。如果他们受欢迎，美国人将看到他们是否能够治理国家。

史蒂文·S·伯祖尔 康涅狄格州赫索尔特

如今，社会主义似乎因人而异。这个词往往意味着工人——或政府——拥有用于生产商品和提供服务的工具、工厂和资源。实际执行这一理念的细节——以及美国人是否会接受这种“不美国”的想法——才是问题的关键。

在激发个人创业精神和创新的资本主义，与对弱势群体表现出同情的社会主义之间取得平衡，可以最大化两种制度的优点，同时减少它们的有害过度。本着这种精神，民主党需要决定支持哪些社会主义候选人，忽略哪些。这将是一项艰巨的任务。

克雷格·M·米勒 北卡罗来纳州利兰

我希望民主社会主义者不要推举自己的总统候选人。这样做会分裂民主党的选票，让共和党继续掌权。

民主党应保持团结。如果该党能够控制立法机构，民主社会主义者就可以与其他民主党人合作，追求他们的目标。但一个不掌权的民主党将无所作为。

最好的布道无需讲坛

关于8月2日旅行文章《牧师将飞机变成讲坛》：

我在上次航班上有过不同的宗教体验。

今年春天，我和妻子在犹他州南部度假后，坐在回盐湖城的航班上，这时一群年轻男女沿着过道走来。从每个人脸上的兴奋表情——以及其中一人戴着的棕色领巾——我立刻知道他们是谁，要去哪里。他们是摩门教徒，正前往世界某地的志愿传教任务。

他们从我们身边走过，更像是一抹色彩，而非我成长的地方——弗吉尼亚州伯里斯（Burris）一座有着超过90年历史的小型木结构摩门教教堂隔壁。年轻的传教士们在教堂的贝街（Bay Street）生活区接纳了我，并在我人生的那段时期给予了我所需的帮助：不是通过说教，而是通过言行向我展示如何为他人服务而生活。在这些贝街聚会中，唯一带有宗教色彩的内容是我们背诵《圣经》的一节经文，马太福音5:16，它鼓励人们以一种方式生活，让你和你的“善行”成为众人可见的光芒。

在我看来，那些用宗教观点冒犯或激怒被动听众的人，同样是在让自己成为焦点，但方式并不正面。

特朗普对伊朗战争的反复无常策略注定失败

这场不必要的对伊战争已持续超过 6 个月，仍看不到结束的迹象。造成这一局面的主要原因之一，在于唐纳德·特朗普总统前后矛盾的处理方式。他时而在安抚与对抗之间摇摆，一会儿称伊朗领导人为“非常理性的人”，一会儿又斥其为“渣滓”——这种反复无常的态度屡见不鲜。

自战争爆发以来，特朗普至少已有 7 次誓言发动毁灭性打击，却又转而宣布再给谈判一次机会。最近一次是在 8 月 1 日，他在社交媒体上写道：“美国已做好万全准备，随时可对伊朗伊斯兰共和国发起二战以来前所未见的军事行动”，但他又表示将“暂缓攻击”，因为“协议的框架已达成”。他可能指的是“参数”。

这篇帖子似乎提及了伊朗与阿曼之间达成的初步协议，即允许船只通过伊朗领海进入霍尔木兹海峡，出境船只则通过阿曼水域。然而，一名伊朗高级官员周六提出了额外条件：作为回应霍尔木兹海峡的要求，美国必须解除对伊经济制裁、解冻伊朗资产并结束对伊朗航运的封锁。

若美国同意伊朗的要求——这些要求与两国谅解备忘录的内容如出一辙——通过海峡的船只数量可能会增加。但这无法带来持久和平，不仅因为它未触及伊朗核计划（冲突的根源），也未解决一个更深层的争议：伊朗是否有权无限期控制这条此前开放的国际水道，并以“使用费”之名变相收取通行费。

此前的美伊谅解备忘录曾试图解决这一核心问题，伊朗坚称该协议迫使其在“伊朗伊斯兰共和国与美国之间做出选择”，而美方则主张船只可改道阿曼水域。然而，伊朗袭击了选择阿曼水域的船只，导致冲突再起，包括伊朗对驻约旦美军基地的致命袭击，以及美方对伊朗的报复性轰炸。

根本问题在于，伊朗和美国的领导层都存在分歧，且对各自目标缺乏明确共识。在伊朗，伊斯兰革命卫队与强硬派主张继续战斗，而务实派则迫切希望结束美国的封锁和制裁，以恢复伊朗经济。通常，最高领袖会裁决这些分歧，但前任最高领袖已被以色列暗杀，其子兼继任者似乎已躲藏起来，难以联系。

而在美国，最高领导人——特朗普总统——对外交政策拥有绝对控制权，但他却在交易与战争之间反复摇摆，削弱了在任一领域取得成功的可能性。伊朗人似乎已不再畏惧他，因为他发出了太多未付诸实施的威胁。还记得 7 月 22 日他誓言“每当伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡袭击一艘货船，美国就将摧毁一座桥梁或发电厂”吗？自那以后，已有至少 3 艘船只遭袭，而美国并未采取任何报复行动。

特朗普虽然让伊朗人不再畏惧，但他们最不信任的却是他能达成协议，因为他经常出尔反尔——而且不仅仅是在与《论坛报》的交易中。例如，7月22日，特朗普政府宣布与沙特达成核能协议，但第二天特朗普又附加了沙特谈判代表未曾同意的重大条件。这些事后追加的条件似乎是对来自共和党鹰派批评的回应。同样，每当特朗普接近与伊朗达成协议时，他都会因同样一批强硬派的批评而退缩。

在与伊朗的战争中，特朗普是他自己最大的敌人。他需要决定采取单一策略——要么对抗，要么和解——并持续数月保持一致。

尽管与伊朗分裂的领导层达成协议困难重重，但基于早前谅解备忘录的和解路径目前仍是较小的选项。这可能需要屈辱性地承认伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的某种程度控制。但特朗普在国内缺乏政治支持，无法将战争社会化，也无法承受霍尔木兹海峡长期封锁——甚至可能包括穆代斯湾——带来的经济冲击。最近一项UNS民调显示，仅有10%的美国人认可特朗普对伊朗战争的处理方式。试想，如果美国再遭受更多伤亡（已有10名军人阵亡），支持率将跌至何种地步。此外，国防部正面临执行对伊作战任务所需装备的严重短缺——甚至无法应对其他对手。

诚然，强硬路径也有其合理性：无限期封锁伊朗航运，寄希望于伊朗日益加剧的经济困境能使其领导层更加妥协。这可能比单纯轰炸伊朗更多目标更为有效。但这需要在大选临近之际，说服选民接受无休止的高油价和高通胀。

唯一注定失败的策略，正是特朗普目前所采取的：在战争与和平、威胁与谈判、夸夸其谈与排他性接触之间摇摆不定。他自以为这是“交易的艺术”，但事实上，如过去几个月所显示的，这不过是一场无休止且无果的冲突——“狭隘战争”的公式。

美联储若过于保守或成问题

罗伯特·S·S 摄（Robert S. S 摄） 美联储主席凯文·沃什

作者：安·卡什拉夫

在上周的新闻发布会上，美联储主席凯文·沃什因过于晦涩而受到市场批评。沃什多次表示，美联储决心在1年后的成功后将通胀重新拉回目标水平，但他未解释将如何实现这一目标，且美联储未采取任何可观察的行动。后续媒体报道称，沃什正考虑减少美联储的政策会议次数。

最不寻常的批评来自前美联储理事洛蕾塔·希雷克，她表示：“我想让人感到安心的是，美联储知道自己在做什么。”然而，当沃什要求市场相信言辞比行动更重要时，这一点难以令人信服。

为何美联储对降低通胀（neg.Indism）的承诺会引发质疑？原因在于存在三种可能的解释——每种解释都需要不同的政策回应——而沃什并未明确哪一种在指导美联储的决策。

第一种理论认为，需求过于强劲是因为借贷利率过低。美联储可以通过提高短期利率来增加借贷成本，从而抑制支出并为经济降温。但沃什未解释为何当前经济状况不支持加息。也许他认为经济即将放缓，这将为美联储的决定提供依据。然而，除了这一模糊的例外，沃什并未给出任何理由。

第二种可能是，通胀主要由市场预期驱动。企业在预判未来经济状况时会调整定价，因此对通胀下降的信心将缓解企业提价压力。沃什本可解释他相信这些预期的重要性，但目前市场信心足够，美联储无需加息。这意味着一旦预期失控，美联储将采取行动。但沃什同样未采用这一解释。

第三种关于通胀的思考方式——沃什未提及——认为价格和支出受到的影响因素远不止美联储最能影响的政府债券收益率。根据这一观点，一系列广泛的金融条件（包括贷款利率、股价及美联储“销售”通胀的风险）表明，美联储在制定货币政策时必须考虑更广泛的指标。

奥尔特加禁止尼加拉瓜选举应当遭到地区抵制

作者：阿尔伯特·R·拉姆森（ALBERT R. RAMSON）

“将不再有任何选举，”尼加拉瓜总统丹尼尔·奥尔特加在7月10日于马来西亚发表的一场演讲中宣布。“新闻，新闻，新闻！”就这样，

奥尔特加攻击了一个民族选择自己政府的基本权利——这一权利得到了美洲国家组织（OAS）宪章的确认，我是该组织的秘书长。尼加拉瓜在三年前退出了1948，但它并未考虑到国家法律的部分并未使尼加拉瓜人民失去其内在的民主权利，即便奥尔特加政权已经践踏了这些权利。

在整个地区，民主价值和原则必须得到讨论和扩展。还有很多工作要做。在古巴、委内瑞拉和尼加拉瓜，那些让公民能够选择领导人、自由发言并通过投票让权力承担责任的机构正在受到侵蚀。

尼加拉瓜的情况不容乐观。在20世纪60年代，当尼加拉瓜从奥尔特加领导的桑地诺政权与反对派冲突的武装冲突中走出来时，该国协助终结了内战。1945年的选举美国人维持了那些急需公信力的进程，包括具有开创性的1960年选举，该选举见证了奥尔特加的桑地诺民族解放阵线重新掌权并将民主带回了该国。但随着威权主义加强其掌控，特别是在奥尔特加于2000年重新掌权之后，那个民主空间关闭了。尼加拉瓜与美洲民主共同体的隔阂增加，最终导致其在2015,退出了1948。

国家当局可能会决定走出房间，但他们不能推开一个错误并将他们的国家移出这个半球。地理是不容谈判的。即便尼加拉瓜当局破坏地区稳定，它仍然是美洲共同体的一部分，无论其政府是否承认这一点。

结果是严峻的。尼加拉瓜最近一次总统选举发生在2015，当时只有潜在的反对派候选人参与，民主合法性仅通过自由和竞争性的选举实现，而尼加拉瓜此后再无此类选举。该政权剥夺了记者和批评者的公民身份，

尼加拉瓜总统丹尼尔·奥尔特加于2015在委内瑞拉加拉加斯

使他们成为无国籍人士，而主教们则被驱逐，人们的要求被压制，集会则被禁止。原住民领袖布鲁克林·里维拉（Brooklyn Rivera）在监狱中去世，尽管美洲人权法院下达了保护措施，但奥尔特加政权对此深表无视。

现在，奥尔特加走得更远，确保尼加拉瓜人将没有机会在选举中投票，无论选举是否有缺陷。在宣布之前几周，在巴拿马举行的1948大会通过了一项关于尼加拉瓜的宣言，谴责那些初步看来可能构成危害人类罪的违规行为。奥尔特加的选举禁令在宣言之后不久出台，证明了该政权对美洲体系构建原则的蔑视。这种威权主义的信息肯定正被其他自称威权主义的政府密切关注。

对于那些已经实现和平过渡到民主并从犯罪中恢复的国家，我想说：你们的例子证明了民主可以在美洲建立并获得动力，这就是为什么值得坚定地捍卫民主——在尼加拉瓜，以及在那些认为取消选举仅仅是内部问题的人面前。我认为这不是内部问题。

当跨越边界的犯罪发生时，正如尼加拉瓜人即使在流亡后仍被该政权针对的情况所示，它就变成了一项半球责任。这就是我正在推动的深层转变，从言语的力量转向行动和合规的力量，实现这种转型将不容易，但合规必须在合作精神中以及作为致力于民主和保护公民权利的国家共同体的一部分来执行。

尼加拉瓜政府可能认为，它可以通过退出1948来摆脱政权的性质。历史表明并非如此——地理、移民以及尼加拉瓜公民对该国民主未来的期望，都将尼加拉瓜与美洲其他国家紧密相连，无论其当局是否接受。1948.将继续敞开大门，我们也将继续采取必要行动，捍卫一个民主尼加拉瓜的正义事业，直到其公民能够再次自主选择自己的未来。

阿尔伯特·R·拉姆森（Albert R. Ramson）是美洲国家组织秘书长。

凯文·沃什的降通胀承诺为何显得空洞？

美联储行长贝丝·M·哈马什和洛丽塔·洛根对维持利率不变的决定持反对意见，她们认为当前整体金融环境宽松，美联储需要采取行动。沃什本可以表示他拒绝这一解决方案，因为他不认同这种经济观点，或者他的经济状况解读有所不同，但他没有这样做。

沃什坚决否认了另一种可能性——即美联储实际上并不太在意未能实现通胀目标。我相信他。但公众如何能确信联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）知道沃什对央行目标的重视程度？

美联储唯一能避免批评和混乱的方式，是明确说明其不作为的原因、此次决策的依据，以及委员会决策的决定方式。不同成员对投票理由的解读各不相同，这进一步凸显了阐明委员会意识形态重心的重要性。

当近期争论激烈时，美联储的秘密性反而成为问题。市场应关注数据而非仅仅依赖美联储主席的言论。美联储的政策决策应基于趋势而非单一数据点。市场对每一项数据发布的过度解读和猜测，只会适得其反，削弱政策效果。

但如果美联储不解释自身立场，它将陷入这些问题的困境。如果市场不知道美联储在关注什么，就无法有效处理数据。如果FOMC成员对哪些趋势至关重要无法达成共识，就无法做出明智的政策决策。如果市场不理解美联储主席对经济的假设，专家们也将变得焦虑不安。

美联储无需做出无条件的预测或频繁发布法律声明。实际上，它需要明确哪些因素对其决策最为重要，以及将如何应对新信息。如果美联储做不到这一点，就无法实现其目标。

《华盛顿邮报》 - 2026年8月11日，星期二

加里·施瓦茨

明尼苏达州普利茅斯市的供水系统7月遭遇疑似伊朗网络攻击，官员表示。明尼苏达州至少有30个系统受到影响。

国会寻求推进以往加强公用事业网络安全的努力

接续A1版

这些资金。市政当局可以申请联邦拨款以帮助抵消成本。

但这些共和党主导州的总检察长——亚当·卢（艾奥瓦州和密苏里州）——提出质疑，认为该备忘录超出了美国环保署的权限，未提供公众评论机会，并对小城镇造成了财政负担。该地区联邦上诉法院被视为最保守的法院之一，否决了这一规则变更。美国环保署随后撤回了该规定。

上月下旬，阿肯色州西部的一家供水公用事业公司遭到网络攻击，成为一系列针对市政供水系统入侵事件的一部分。美国情报机构认为，这些攻击是伊朗政权领导人所为。

此次攻击行动正值美国与伊朗的僵持战进入第四个月，德黑兰方面没有表现出任何退让迹象。

一些专家表示，如果美国环保署的规定当时生效，阿肯色州的这家公用事业公司或其他类似机构可能会幸免于难。

“将其搁置让我们倒退了，”McKenzie Inc.总裁格斯·塞里诺表示，他曾是马萨诸塞州水资源管理局的工程师。“保护这三个系统所需的努力和费用并不高。它不会消除所有风险，但肯定能消除大部分低垂的果实。”

熟悉此事的官员表示，受影响的州数量已扩大到至少十几个，仅明尼苏达州就有至少30个系统受到影响。

针对供水系统的攻击是联邦当局数月前首次发出警告的趋势，而水务公用事业网络安全提升努力屡屡受挫，这促使国会部分议员采取行动。

加利福尼亚州民主党参议员亚当·希夫是环境与公共工程委员会水务小组的资深成员，他于周一提出一项法案，明确授权美国环保署监管水务系统的网络安全。

该措施将以法律形式确认该机构三年前试图通过行政行动实施的要求：强制水务公用事业公司进行网络安全评估，并在发现重大漏洞时采取纠正措施。

在伊朗发起最近一轮针对水务公用事业的攻击前几天，参议院环保署委员会一致通过了一项两党措施，旨在帮助农村供水系统降低网络安全风险。

行业代表现在意识到，自愿性努力已远远不够。

代表水务公用事业公司的最大组织正在推动通过一项法案，该法案由阿肯色州共和党众议员里克·克劳福德提出，将建立一个独立的非政府机构，在环保署监督下为水务行业制定最低网络安全要求。

“我们需要最低要求，”美国自来水厂协会（AWWA）联邦关系经理凯文·肖特表示。“是时候提升游戏水平了。”

这一系列活动发生之际，特朗普政府已削减国土安全部的网络安全专家人数，并未寻求续签向各州提供的网络安全拨款资金。

唐纳德·特朗普总统将这些攻击归咎于各州，批评明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹（民主党）在该州发生的攻击中存在“缺陷”，并补充称他认为这不是罪魁祸首。

美国情报机构确信，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队是此次攻击行动的幕后黑手，但尚未正式归因，部分原因是关于革命卫队内部哪个团体实施了攻击仍存在争议。据两名知情人士透露，另一个原因可能是不愿做出与总统公开言论相矛盾的归因。

联邦调查局拒绝置评。

全国超过150,000个供水系统的网络安全状况参差不齐。一些市政当局，如艾奥瓦州锡达拉皮兹市，由于其系统采用“空气隔离”（即不连接互联网），在最近的攻击中基本未受影响。

---

“我们有多人建议将系统与外部世界连接，”锡达拉皮兹市公用事业主管罗伊·赫尔曼（Roy Heermann）表示，该市供水系统服务约120,000人，其所在州曾使用美国环保署（EPA）的系统。“自9 / 10以来，我一直坚持反对这一做法，因为我知道偶尔会有人被入侵——不，我们不会这样做。”

目前，至少有三个州最近出台法律，要求对供水系统进行网络安全风险评估：印第安纳州、马里兰州和纽约州。当局尚未发现这三个州的供水系统与近期攻击活动存在关联。

政治上的第三次呼吁

十多年来，网络安全监管一直是国会政治上的第三次呼吁。2010年和2012年，两党曾大力推动对关键基础设施实施强制性标准，但均因行业强烈反对而失败。

取而代之的是自愿性框架和行业特定倡议，均通过行政命令建立。

2013年5月，一个讲俄语的——恶意软件组织攻击了Colonial Pipeline，迫使该国最大的输油管道之一多次关闭，导致东海岸出现燃油短缺和抢购潮。曾被视为犯罪滋扰的勒索软件网络攻击，由此上升为国家安全问题，促使时任总统乔·拜登在日内瓦峰会上与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京提出这一议题。

管道危机推动了对关键基础设施核心领域的监管：拜登政府与运输安全管理局（TSA）和海岸警卫队合作，将网络安全要求纳入强制性基础设施物理安全监管机构。

拜登的副国家安全顾问安妮·纽伯格（Anne Neuberger）在白宫召集行业高管举行会议，分享威胁情报，并强调网络安全不仅适用于管道，还适用于机场、港口和铁路。

“这是对不法分子及其潜在破坏关键基础设施意图的一次相当清醒的评估，”美国机场高管协会（AAAE）首席执行官托德·道普斯（Todd Daupth）表示，他参加了2022年9月的一次会议。“这为那些可能强烈反对加强监管的人铺平了道路。”

时任TSA局长戴维·佩科斯克（David Pekoske）回忆称，这一做法是“提供一个框架，然后对关键行业说，‘你们带着计划回来找我们’”，该计划每年接受审查。

管道行业最初对其提出的规则过于死板表示抵制。但经过修订的规则吸纳了行业反馈，允许在多个机构间灵活调整要求。

一些专家表示，现行规则正在发挥作用的一个迹象是，特朗普在重返白宫后的第一个月签署了削减监管的命令，但保留了前任政府制定的现有规则。

软化的迹象

然而，美国供水行业仍未受到拜登监管推动的影响。在2023年3月，EPA发布备忘录，要求将网络安全评估纳入供水系统定期物理安全检查，但遭到三个州和行业代表的抵制。

美国自来水厂协会（AWWA）的肖特（Shorter）表示，2023年的做法“有点一刀切、自上而下，没有真正从社区层面考虑什么才是合理的”，该协会是起诉EPA的团体之一。

如今，出现了软化的迹象。

尽管近期攻击造成的损害相对较小，但仍提升了紧迫性。

周三，AWWA致信议员，敦促其建立跟踪项目、提供网络安全资金，并支持克劳福德（Crawford）的法案。该协会还希望联邦政府扩大一项计划，向农村城镇提供免费政策，帮助其建立供水系统并管理网络安全。

克里斯·哈里斯（Chris Harris）是非营利组织阿肯色州农村供水协会的首席执行官，他表示其团体多年来一直在努力向运营商普及主机网络安全实践。上月泄露事件曝光后，该组织敦促成员将所有连接互联网的计算机辅助设备下线，但他不确定有多少成员照做。

“很多人直到事情发生在自己身上才会认真对待，”哈里斯说，“大多数人认为[我们]这座只有500人口的小镇——伊朗为什么会关注我们？他们没有意识到，对方攻击的是他们能攻击的任何目标。”

帕梅拉·维尔马（Pamela Verma）、亚伦·沙夫勒（Aaron Schaffler）和约翰·斯普林（John Spring）对本文有贡献。

艾哈迈德·瓦希迪（Ahmad Vahidi）领导的伊斯兰革命卫队被情报机构指控为明尼苏达州后台攻击活动的幕后黑手。

The Weeknd想用这款游戏吸引你

这位热衷游戏的音乐人说：《About Fishing》是笔好买卖

作者：吉恩·帕克

在一个雾气弥漫的海滨小镇上，唯一一家便利店由一名手持冻结刀具的店员看管。我卖给他一些鱼，仅此而已。这是小镇上最正常的一次互动，因为与其他人的对话都会陷入奇怪的文本负空间。没有人讨论我从河里捞出的那具女尸。

我正在试玩一款名为《About Fishing》的神秘游戏。我发现它的过程更加离奇。加拿大全球流行巨星、艺名The Weeknd的阿贝尔·特斯法耶告诉我，我必须玩这款游戏。

过去几年里，特斯法耶一直在进行一场电子游戏朝圣之旅。在长时间沉浸于《Bibbo Ring》和《Persona》系列等游戏的间隙，他会在自己的另一个Instagram账号“gene hackerman”上分享任何吸引他的游戏，甚至在日本与游戏创作者见面并无休止地交流。他还抢先体验了尚未发布的游戏，比如《Persona 4》重制版的早期版本。

作为他的粉丝和他所玩游戏的爱好者，我想知道他在做什么。今年6月，我向“gene hackerman”发送了私信。

几周后，在欧洲巡演途中，他回复了我。

“我想最终再多聊聊游戏，”他说，“但现在还不行。首先，我想让你试试一款叫《About Fishing》的游戏……”

手袋如同鞋子，是一种标点符号。它可能仅仅强调一套装扮原本的表达，也可能为整体造型注入一丝精致或兴奋感。又或者，它能带来意想不到的趣味，如同一个突如其来的问号。手袋提升并丰富了着装。而且，实用的是，它们能装下我们所有的物品。

然而，自几百年前口袋在男装中普及以来，手袋一直被视为女性配饰，与男性无关。杰瑞·宋飞（Jerry Seinfeld）在《宋飞传》（Seinfeld）中因使用“欧洲通用包”而被戏称为“包包男孩”。杰瑞·宋飞（Jerry Seinfeld）在《老友记》（Friends）中看到女模特搭配皮质托特包后，遭到嘲笑。几代男性都在相互劝阻，甚至自我劝阻，不去触碰手袋的魔力，只因它带有一丝女性气息。

然而，如今环顾四周，你会发现一群公众人物中的男性对此毫不在意。他们中的大多数在乔伊和杰瑞因手袋而被嘲笑时还未出生，如今却将贵重物品放入时尚小包中，轻松穿梭于世界，双手自由，口袋不再鼓鼓囊囊。今夏，这一趋势正式确立：酷男携带手袋。

包括哈里·斯泰尔斯（Harry Styles）、坏兔子（Bad Bunny）、雅各布·布洛赫（Jacob Bloch）和帕特里克·施瓦辛格（Patrick Schwarzenegger）在内的一批着装考究的名人，近年来频频出现在红毯和街拍中，手持各式手袋或修长大气的托特包。虽然运动员早已习惯炫耀奢华行李箱，但俄克拉荷马城雷霆队控球后卫谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大（Shai Gilgeous-Alexander）已成为NBA中最引人注目的正版手袋代言人。他的衣橱里有多款路易威登Speedy手袋和一只闪亮的黑色热压凯莉包，后者偶尔也会成为焦点。

但今夏有所不同。“包包男孩”似乎无处不在。5月，皇家马德里前锋基利安·姆巴佩手持迪奥A5三角手袋出现在法国世界杯球队训练基地。纽约尼克斯队长贾伦·布伦森（Jalen Brunson）在对阵圣安东尼奥的比赛前，将一只丹宁印花路易威登手袋带入麦迪逊广场花园。 PGA PERSPECTIVE 100 B2

恐怖电影偶像转向另一种艺术形式

卡彭特携手家人创作图像小说，并配以原创音乐

作者：KRIVITA FAURA 美联社

约翰·卡彭特（John Carpenter）在职业生涯中经常与身边最亲近的人合作。但创作《大教堂》（Cathedral）——一部于周五发行、配有原创专辑的图像小说——则是一次真正的家庭合作。

这位以《怪形》（The Thing）和《万圣节》（Halloween）等经典恐怖电影闻名的导演表示，如今的电影业已完全“公司化”。因此，这位70岁的老人更倾向于寻找替代性、成本更低的工作，以保持创作上的满足感。

在梦到一座位于洛杉矶市中心废弃教堂的电梯直通地狱后，同时也是一位多产作曲家的卡彭特邀请了他的 SEE Q&A 110 B2

《关于钓鱼》是一部谋杀悬疑游戏

《华盛顿邮报》

钓鱼？我从没听说过。“这游戏的氛围一下子就吸引了我，”Todays 说道。“小时候，我表哥收藏了一批真正的老式火柴盒枪械模型，包括一些我从没见过的日本版本。”

这些游戏包括《剧院》（Theaters）——一部关于小型滨海小镇的开创性冒险游戏；《谣言》（Rumors）——一款由伦纳德·斯坦尼（Leonard Stiney）配音的脾气暴躁的鱼人养成游戏；以及《动力之家》（Power Home）——一款古怪的多人动作游戏。

“‘关于钓鱼’让我重新找回了那种感觉，”Todays 说。他深受触动，甚至邀请游戏开发者到他在迈阿密的办公室见面，一起聊聊这款游戏。

如今的他正是 41 岁的凯文·布朗（Kevin Brown），住在佛罗里达州，距离迈阿密有几小时车程。他以“过去的他”（When He Was In The Past）为名，与几位合作者一起制作游戏。

大约两年前，布朗还在一家企业动画公司工作。公司倒闭后，他相信是因为最大的客户之一选择了 AI 生成的视频，而非寻找真人制作。于是，他自学编程，开始制作视频游戏。

他的首部作品《凯文贝果》（Kevin Bagel）要求玩家在一座末日城市的煎锅中翻炒鸡蛋。《关于钓鱼》（About Fishing）则让玩家钓鱼并解开一个谜团。“布朗的游戏创意简单而引人入胜，却又有些古怪。他笑着说，自己对实验性游戏设计的执着，就像是不断挖坑又爬出来。”

“Get the problem is I've already dug myself into this hole。”他说。

布朗的作品唤起了人们对游戏黄金时代的怀念，以及对林奇式叙事风格的追忆。当 Todays 和我提到大卫·林奇（David Lynch）时，布朗还没看过他的作品，但经过一番研究后，他发现了其中的联系。对于许多在世纪之交成长起来的玩家来说，日本游戏那梦幻般的叙事风格，与西方游戏截然不同。

“它让我回想起小时候发现那些感觉像是来自另一个世界的游戏时的心情，”Todays 说。

我把这段话转述给布朗，他听后非常高兴，因为自己的目标被理解了。他喜欢那个时代的游戏音乐和语言运用。

“很多老游戏的翻译都很粗糙，但有时候拼凑在一起的词句却美得出奇，”他说，并补充道，这些游戏的模式和韵律就像诗歌一样。

同样在那个时代，信息量或许有限，但开发者们用 60 个月的时间，以写实的照片级画面呈现角色，让他们既像人工制品，又同时具备人性。那个笑容僵硬的店员之所以显得怪异，是因为他看起来像真人，但身上又带着程序生成的棱角。“我想让它感觉像是来自另一个地方，”布朗说。

游戏以一位在海滩钓鱼的女孩主角开场。布朗的游戏注重动作的物理感，要求玩家抛竿、收线，并通过推动或挥动鼠标来卷动鱼线。

至少在目前的短暂演示版中，游戏的目标是专注于收集古老物品，以解开一桩谋杀悬案。升级钓具和装备能让玩家更轻松地探索，并从水下墓地中打捞出更多遗物。随着发现新的钓鱼地点，玩家可以与其他角色互动，他们会在探索这座孤寂小镇时留下神秘信息，配乐则以一种有条不紊的节奏展开。

Todays 邀请布朗和作曲家 Cameron Gines 到他的办公室，进一步展示《关于钓鱼》。为了配合这次见面，Todays 说他特意戴了一顶复古渔具店风格的帽子，只不过帽子上印着一条名为“钋-210 马格达西”（Polonium Magdacy）的鱼。

那天上午，他们一起玩了大约五个小时的游戏，并进行了交流。布朗的游戏主要通过鼠标和键盘操控，而 Todays 则希望能加强对手柄的支持。

“我绝对是个手柄党，”他说。

布朗记得会议桌上散落着昂贵的瓶装水和经典电子游戏的灵感——他也知道出汗的滋味。他紧张地快速点击着托迪斯未曾读过的对话。托迪斯让他放慢速度。

他印象最深的是，托迪斯和他都希望回馈自己热爱的媒介，而不是谈论音乐。托迪斯在家里花了大量时间讨论游戏和动作。

“从那以后，我们一直保持联系。我们有个群聊，每次我收到测试版，看到屏幕上有他的名字，我都会兴奋起来，”布朗说，“那天对他来说意义重大。这款游戏对他来说也意义重大。”

布朗的声音有些哽咽。“抱歉，我还没完全消化这一切。”

托迪斯对游戏的热爱正在加深他与世界各地主持人的联系。当3岁空军士兵奇斯姆·金格兰斯在德国看到托迪斯今年发布的《Process 3》游戏截图时，她简直不敢相信时间点如此巧合——她当时也在玩这款游戏。当托迪斯比她更早通关时，她感到震惊。

“我还没通关。我目前在帕拉杜斯篇章，心想：天哪，他也在玩这个，”她在采访中说，“他和我同时在玩。他是怎么做到的？”

托迪斯还在社交平台上发布了关于自己对游戏中可约会角色“Dr. The Takens”的教育经历的玩笑。

《关于钓鱼》（About Fishing）是一款钓鱼模拟游戏，故事发生在一个海滨小镇，玩家将探索一桩离奇的谋杀谜案。“氛围立刻吸引了我，”化名“The Worked”的阿贝尔·托迪斯说。

阿贝尔·托迪斯（中）邀请《水族馆》（Water Museum）开发者凯文·布朗（左）和作曲家卡梅隆·吉内斯到他在迈阿密的办公室。

在游戏中。在7月布伦伯斯巡回演出的一场创纪录的演出中，金格兰斯站在飓风区，举起她亲手制作的Dr. The Takens毛绒玩偶，当托迪斯抓起它并向观众挥舞时，她尖叫起来。

“我浑身发抖，尖叫不止。他笑得那么灿烂，”她说，“……知道我最喜欢的艺术家和你一样热爱这些东西，而且不会因为你的兴趣而评判你，这让我感觉非常美好。”

托迪斯一直在将电子游戏视频融入他的表演中，他似乎深入挖掘了游戏目录。在巴西，他演唱了一首由日本电影剪辑师哈坎·乔基亚马导演的视频伴奏的歌曲。他的美学风格与游戏创作者Neda. It极为相似，托迪斯曾与她的孩子们共度时光。

他说布朗的作品至今仍“萦绕”在他心头。

“他的作品乍看简单，但背后蕴含着很多东西。他能让某样东西变得激动人心，然后在同一条船上又让你开怀大笑。这就是一个掌控自己手艺的人，”他这样评价布朗。

布朗正全力以赴完成《关于钓鱼》。他和团队希望在今年《Park Auto 6》发布“之前”发布这款游戏，他笑着说。

托迪斯表示，他相信《水族馆》团队，并希望让更多人——比如我——了解《关于钓鱼》。

“这款游戏美得恰到好处，又让人难以忘怀，”他说，“我只希望这个团队能赢。”

对恐怖电影大师卡朋特来说，梦境很少成为他的创作灵感

《华盛顿邮报》

他邀请丹尼尔·戴维斯（Daniel Davies）和自己的儿子科迪（Cody）合作完成这张专辑。专辑包含多首快节奏的弹拨曲目，唤起了他一些标志性主题的回忆，比如《万圣节》的主题曲。随后，他向自己那位从事漫画出版的妻子寻求帮助，共同创作这部图像小说。

卡朋特、他的儿子和戴维斯在接受美联社采访时谈及了他们的创作过程、对人工智能的担忧，以及关于 System Cather 和伟大的拉里·伯德的噩梦。以下采访内容经过了编辑，以保证长度和清晰度。

这部作品的创意是从何而来的？

约翰·卡朋特： 我当时想，我是个老派的电影导演，这张专辑可以成为一部电影的绝佳配乐。不过，这部电影可能要耗资数亿美元，所以为什么不做成图像小说呢？我妻子经营着一家漫画公司，因此我们可以将其拍成电影并缩短篇幅，再为它配乐。

你过去的创作流程也是这样吗？先构思出可能用于电影的音乐？ 约翰·卡朋特： 不，正好相反。我先拍电影，按照自己的想法剪辑好，

“音乐，我认为是最伟大的艺术形式，”约翰·卡朋特说，他的最新项目是一部图像小说及其配套专辑。“……我们可以在不同的国家聆听它。伟大的音乐会流传下去。”

然后再为它配乐。不，音乐只是功能性的。它支撑着故事和角色等等。自从我全职投入电影行业以来，电影制作已经发生了变化。现在一切都商业化了。我来自现代电影制作的时代，那时我们没有钱，请不起作曲家，只能自己动手。但现在我有这些伙伴和我一起工作，所以我不用那么辛苦了。

这个创意是你在梦中得到的。你经常从梦境中汲取灵感吗？

约翰·卡朋特： 从来没有。这是第一次。我的大多数梦都差不多，而且并不适合拿来创作。总是关于我在一个城市里迷路，想要回家，但街道不断变化，我找不到回家的路。或者我去寻找电影院区，但到了那里，所有电影院都关门了。

科迪·卡朋特： 我从大学开始就坚持写梦境日记。我有三把梦想中的椅子。我只是喜欢记住它们，你知道的？

约翰·卡朋特： 篮球梦？今天我还看到有人开始运球！

科迪·卡朋特： 是拉里·伯德，结果发现他已经去世了，我还在和他的鬼魂互动。

约翰，作为一位了解预算限制并喜欢实验的人，你有没有尝试过使用人工智能？

约翰·卡朋特： 嗯，有人告诉我它很危险。我不——这意味着什么？是说它开始自主学习了吗？

这取决于你问的是谁。

丹尼尔·戴维斯： 我们喜欢创作音乐。我希望它能帮助我们做更多琐碎的事情，比如预测新曲目或了解我的工作流程。但我们喜欢创作，所以为什么要用它呢？科迪·卡朋特： 我不知道。我认识一个经常用人工智能做音乐的人，他给我看过他做的东西，我的意思是，我觉得总有一天我们会失业。我真的觉得这很神奇，它的进步速度太快了。但我不知道。我们拭目以待吧。

约翰·卡朋特： 音乐，我认为是最伟大的艺术形式。我不想这么说，但它不需要任何条件。我们可以在不同的国家聆听它。伟大的音乐会流传下去。你现在告诉我它会被一种平庸的东西取代？我不相信。这让我感到困扰。这是人类的东西。我希望它来自我们。我真的这么想。

我最近第一次看了《胡克纳监狱》。我非常喜欢。这部电影似乎被低估了。 约翰·卡朋特： 你为什么现在才看？

你是对的。我真希望自己能早点看到它，这样我就能有更多你觉得被低估的电影了！

约翰·卡朋特： 不，很高兴你喜欢。我对自己拍的几乎每一部电影都很满意。

你对哪部电影不满意？ 约翰·卡朋特： 不，不会告诉你的。

与观念截然不同的姻亲相处时，我变得急躁易怒

卡罗琳·哈克斯

卡罗琳·哈克斯外出 本文首发于2015年6月13日

致卡罗琳： 每次去拜访姻亲时，我都会变得急躁易怒，显然这不是我想让他们看到的一面。当我向丈夫提起此事时，他说他已经宣布了，我可以不用参加下次计划中的旅行。

虽然我很感激他让我免于为难，但我认为这并不是一个长久的解决方案。我被告知这可能有一些应对技巧或心态调整，能减少我在他们身边的压力。

值得一提的是，他们并不是坏人。只是我们在政治观点、边界、兴趣、育儿理念等方面存在巨大分歧。他们也会让我丈夫感到烦恼，但既然这是环境使然，我们还是会继续前往，他也能轻松适应——这可能正是让我恼火的部分原因之一——与姻亲相处

与姻亲相处的润滑剂： 你已经在寻找答案，却跑到了另一个极端。你丈夫能适应，所以不要对他生气——我无法从他那里得到答案。问问他用了什么策略。

你自愿承担了这个角色。当别人没有让我们抓狂时，实际上意味着我们从他们身上得到了自己需要的（或者我们根本不在乎）。所以，当别人处于中心位置时，通常意味着我们想从他们那里得到一些未能如愿的东西。

你正在努力弄清楚你对姻亲的期望是什么——并放弃这种期望。放弃让他们理解你、觉得你有趣或认同你的想法，也许还包括你养育孩子的方式，然后说：“真糟糕。”——我希望这能帮助你接受现实。

此外，不要低估回避或永久性解决方案的作用。抵制在极端情况下可能是必要的，

你怎么看？我买了这件衣服去看你的电影。

但……你可以让拜访时间稍微短一些，频率略微低一些，结构更明确一些，比如看电影、看戏，或者去其他不太需要交谈的场合。你可以提前一两天到达，然后自己去拜访住在附近的朋友。你可以变成超级D4，去杂货店购物，服务花店（独自一人），洗碗（独自一人）……尤其是在公共场合或私下里。

换句话说，你可以控制接触的“剂量”，并更自然地保持良好状态。也许你可以从寻找你们兴趣重叠的地方开始。

致卡罗琳： 我儿子正在和一个在我看来病得很重的女人交往，他可能还没有意识到这一点。我和丈夫曾多次争论是否应该纠正她在公共场合大声打嗝、忘记说“谢谢”等行为，还带她去过一次昂贵的晚餐。

我什么时候可以坚持要求她举止得体，又有哪些事情我必须放手？——协助者

坚持。 嗯。很难超越公开评论他人着装的尴尬。公开道谢、被感谢以及指出利弊都很棘手。

不过，我来试试。你无法按照自己的喜好改造这个女人，也无法在公共场合制定规则。但在你自己家里，你可以制定规则。

你也可以选择退让。如果这对情侣正在建立品牌，你的唠叨实际上会破坏这一点；如果他们已经建立了品牌，你的唠叨会伤害你自己，而不会伤害他们——而且她的失礼行为远不如你的干预让你难受。

与卡罗琳·哈克斯的技巧并不……● 在washingtonpost.com / low-chain的聊天室1930加入讨论。

手袋加持，男士包包达人的造型变得更精致、更丰富、更有趣

彼得·斯通，2020，1-2（美联社）2020

我们的马刺队在NBA总决赛第3场比赛中。

挪威球员埃尔林·哈兰德（Erling Haaland）在世界杯期间凭借其场上和线上的出色表现进一步吸引了新粉丝，而当他亮出自己丰富的心爱藏品时，更是让人眼前一亮。

他的Hard a Courroux手袋系列有时被不知名人士称为“Strikins”，尽管RAC的设计考究，细节精致，线条流畅。（专家们，请告诉我们“Strikins”作为少数几个真正家喻户晓的包款之一的地位——而哈兰德6英尺5英寸的魁梧身材，无疑会让这个包看起来更小。）但真正的手袋爱好者们在7月初浮出水面，当时哈兰德将旅行装扮与一对新款RAC“Hudson-Brad”风格搭配，灵感来自已故设计师大卫·霍德森（David Hodson）的作品，后者的设计被公认为经典。

与此同时，拉明·亚马尔展示了自己在高端手袋方面的专业品味。这位赢得世界杯的西班牙青年队球员在7月下旬的冠军赛中，手提一款89-86th Indie-Jukeville Garry Hovsdot 1955主打包现身。他的胜利瞬间在社交媒体上广为传播，第二代深度剪辑视频中，亚马尔身着球队的防护装备，戴着“CAMPIONNE”（冠军）字样的装饰，手提Hovsdot包，配以珍珠项链和墨镜，气场十足。

运动员们的风采不容小觑，“宿敌对决”（Hazard Rivalry）的明星康纳·斯蒂尔和哈德森·威廉姆斯近期在多伦多以协调的休闲短裤和T恤造型亮相，搭配小巧的黑色斜挎包和两款年轻的Black Feather肩包，为整体造型增色。

需要明确的是，携带手袋并不意味着我们的第二性征发生了重大变化，也不意味着父权制已经崩塌。在许多情况下，这仅仅意味着这些超级明星希望你知道他们有钱，而在他们所从事的任何领域，你都不难找到父权制依然盛行的证据。

不过，男士包包达人们提醒我们，服装的性别刻板印象——比如大多数事物被赋予的性别属性——是武断且错误的。高跟鞋曾经是男性的专属配饰。一百年前，男婴穿粉色，女婴穿蓝色。穿Birkenstock凉鞋曾经象征着反体制，如今则仅仅意味着你喜欢舒适的鞋子。

手袋的加入让男士包包达人的造型变得更精致、更丰富、更有趣。这些男士可能还随身携带ChapStick润唇膏、手机充电器、一包枪，甚至应急用的Klumunse。手袋不仅是任何人的时尚升级，更是日常生活品质的提升。也许我们从不需要对它抱有如此多的偏见。一百

此外，还提出了“Polk”一词，并给出了有趣的解释：“最初且严格来说，它并无实指，属于集合名词，但在现代美式英语中，它已失去单数形式，仅以复数形式存在。既然我们已经接受用复数代词（they）来指代单数个体，我想人们也能习惯这一点。”

最后是一个杂项类别。

一位“Gentle Reader”建议将“Cot”定义为“火焰的中性暗色”。该词是“fender”的拉丁语缩写，因作者的女儿提到它在科幻作品中使用而感到有趣——既然未来世界的那些人都能接受，那对我而言也足够好了。

另有人建议将“Popp”定义为“任何形式的湿软感，且带有一种赋予感”。

还有人写道，他们“从您的‘Gentle Reader’称呼中获得灵感”，尝试使用“GentleSoul”。这个词庄重、易用、尊重他人、无需言语，且由两个熟悉的部分组合而成。

这些词是否契合文本？曼纳斯小姐并不这么认为。例如，她不会建议在拥挤的咖啡馆里对陌生人说“Polk”。

我的妹妹试图破坏我与新发现的同父异母兄弟姐妹的关系

询问Erie

J. GIVE DONING

亲爱的Erie： 我父母在青少年时期相恋，并生下了两个孩子，我和我的妹妹“乔迪”。

我2岁时父母离异，之后再也没有见过父亲。母亲和她的第二任丈夫对此避而不谈。

我竭力保持平静的生活，如今已与丈夫结婚超过40年，育有两个出色的孩子，生活美满。

乔迪则经历了一连串失败的感情，还因她自身的家庭问题与我们的一个或多个孩子关系疏远。也许是因为我们共同的创伤，我一直努力支持她。

现在，一份1954年的DNA检测结果显示我们还有同父异母的兄弟姐妹，上个月我们见了面。我挺喜欢他们俩。其中一个坦诚分享了自己过去与毒品和酒精的挣扎，但如今已努力改过自新。

乔迪却对我的这段新关系心怀敌意，试图通过背景调查揭露他们或他们孩子身上发生过的任何不光彩的事。我个人认为，每个人都有不想提及的过去，而他们理应得到尊严和改过自新的机会。

我该如何处理这件事？是否该瞒着乔迪继续与他们来往，还是邀请她一起参加未来的聚会，期待她能逐渐接受？这些新关系才刚开始，我只想看看我们是否有足够的共同点来继续发展。

另一个兄弟姐妹

需要时间来处理这些关系，而她目前的做法可能并不健康。纠正或管理她的行为并不是你的责任，因此最好的办法可能是将你与她的关系和你与同父异母兄弟姐妹的关系分开处理。

不妨直接告诉乔迪，你对背景调查并不热衷，但也不想将此事演变成冲突。向她表明你对这些兄弟姐妹采取“顺其自然”的态度，虽然她可以继续进行任何她想做的调查，但你会继续与他们面对面交往，建立关系。

这样你就不必担心她发现，同时也能在一定程度上减少她的破坏行为。你不需要征得她的同意，也不必向她汇报未来的会面。

你可以继续支持乔迪，同时设定界限，保护你与其他人的关系。

16岁时离家。

与此同时，母亲不接我电话，总是过后回拨，声称自己当时“和朋友在一起，没空”。当我和她在一起时，她总是手机不离手，一有人来电就接，显然她愿意在别人来电时接听。

如今我有了自己的孩子，希望每周与他们通话，因此我会安排固定的每周通话时间。我发现我的小程序支持视频通话，于是每个周末我会在群聊中询问他们，哪天和什么时间适合全家视频通话。虽然母亲可能不知道或不想用视频通话，但她为什么不试着问一句“今晚通话方便吗？”然后直接打给他们。

在被指责“电话打得不够多”而被折磨了16年后，我意识到电话是双向的，并放下了因未满足她的通话期望而产生的愧疚。

电话是双向的

电话： 很遗憾听到你和母亲之间的经历，但我很欣赏你找到了适合双方的相处方式。电话确实是双向的。作为一种沟通工具，它能帮助弥合期望与现实之间的差距。

将问题发送至 R. Eric Thomas 的邮箱 rctopinastigator.com 或邮寄至宾夕法尼亚州费城邮政信箱 22476，邮编 19122。在 Instagram 上关注他，并订阅他的每周通讯 rcto1@ortusa.com。

“有点令人吃惊。这里本应是最优秀的高中运动员…… 但看到如此少的不同类型的人，让人有些担忧。”

阿迪达斯公司在本国犯了一个小错误，发现最新统计数据中， 被选中参加《爱国者运动会》的运动员群体存在多样性不足。

《爱国者运动会》于周日开幕，周二结束，汇集了来自每个州、各领地、军事基地和部落国家的男女各一名代表。共有150名年龄在14至17.的运动员角逐$150,000的奖金。参赛者中约90%为白人。

GENEVA, 01010 —— 他迅速一挥，将球越过临时搭建的围栏。这是那种没有点球的全垒打，是每个在温暖夏夜泡在球场的孩子都梦寐以求的瞬间。

获胜后，这名运动员在镜头和场边记者面前保持镇定，将奖品塞进借来的膝盖护具。当直播灯光熄灭后，他转向同伴。

“为了美国！”这名高中生（是的，你没看错）在2016年《爱国者运动会》周日的踢球比赛（是的，就是这个）中带领团队获胜后高呼（稍后详述）。他的临别感言？

“这是为了特朗普！”

“特朗普！”——这是在首届《爱国者运动会》开幕日被频繁提及的一个词。但另一个词似乎几乎压倒了国会的氛围：在这个全国性的体育课（氛围：怪异）中。

（它从未被明确定义）。《爱国者运动会》是一项体育竞赛，由白宫支持的非营利组织自由250主办，从每个州及各领地、军事基地和部落国家选拔一名男性和一名女性代表参赛。250名参赛者年龄在14至17.之间，从申请者中选出。他们将争夺$150,000的奖金，由一名男性和一名女性获胜者平分。为期三天的比赛于周日开始，周二结束，

青少年们将参加一系列体育项目。开幕日上午是一场充满军事训练营风格的田径日，包括跳远和赛跑。周日晚上则转向了懒散的体育课式踢球和躲避球——对一名叫卡洛斯·博格斯的运动员来说，这似乎一点也不奇怪。

“这太有趣了，”博格斯说，他是西弗吉尼亚州的男性代表，10岁就梦想着在西弗吉尼亚大学打棒球。“我认识了很多同龄的新朋友。比赛都很有趣。而且上ESPN这样的机会对我的一切都很棒，你知道的，比如197 89这样的曝光。”

替补滕西尔是“一件大事”

指挥官队将让科尔曼首次尝试接替受伤左截锋的位置

作者：塔曼·里德

华盛顿指挥官队的进攻线在周六遭遇重创，左截锋拉科尼·滕西尔左肱三头肌撕裂。主教练丹·奎因周一宣布，滕西尔需要手术。他还表示，手术的具体时间尚未确定。

滕西尔的具体复出时间要等到手术后才能确定，但预计他将缺阵数月。他甚至有可能缺席整个赛季。滕西尔不仅是四分卫杰登·丹尼尔斯的“盲侧保护者”，还是球队最出色的跑阻截手。他的能力无人可替。

“他的状态目前正处于巅峰，”奎因周一表示，“无论是跑阵还是传球，他都是一名实力均衡的球员。所以这是一件大事。”

对于华盛顿队而言，目标只是找到一名能在左截锋位置上发挥稳定的球员。计划是让第三年效力的诺曼·布兰登·科尔曼先行尝试。他在周一的训练中担任首发左截锋，安德鲁·怀特则作为他的替补。

科尔曼在 2004 年新秀赛季曾为指挥官队首发 12 场左截锋比赛。他的表现尚可，但华盛顿队希望提升实力，并在上个休赛期交易得到了滕西尔。

最初的计划是让科尔曼内移，担任首发左护锋。然而，他的表现有所下滑，在上赛季仅出战两场后便被克里斯·保罗取代。

2012 赛季末，滕西尔因腿筋受伤缺席最后三场比赛，科尔曼曾顶替他首发三场左截锋。尽管他表现出色，但这始终只是临时安排。

在 0714 及训练营前两周，科尔曼一直在与保罗竞争左护锋的首发位置。如今，科尔曼必须再次外移至左截锋位置，而保罗则稳居左护锋首发。奎因认为，科尔曼在与新秀赛季相仿的年龄阶段展现了很大的成长。

“当你经历艰难时刻，你会希望从另一端变得更强大、更坚韧，team the Internet，”奎因说，“我觉得布兰登和其他几名球员也有同样的感受。也许在经历过程中，你必须展现出评估者的能力，这在当时可能显得艰难，但经历过后会有所收获。”

科尔曼在过去两个休赛期都与滕西尔一起训练。尽管他当时准备的是左护锋位置，但仍积累了不少经验。

MLB的垫底球队正在坚持

作者：戴维·布兰特 美联社

在职业棒球大联盟（MLB）中，全面摆烂的风潮已不再盛行。

在经历了近几个赛季的一些臭名昭著的球队表现——比如科罗拉多洛矶队在上赛季输掉150场比赛，以及芝加哥白袜队在2016年创下MLB纪录输掉125场比赛后——最差的球队如今已变得更具竞争力。

事实上，自2017年以来，今年可能首次没有球队会输掉100场比赛。

目前表现最差的球队分别是洛矶队（46-73）、洛杉矶天使队（46-70）、奥克兰运动家队（49-75）和堪萨斯城皇家队（48-70），即使他们打出低于平均水平的棒球，也都有很大机会避免三位数的败场。

本赛季联盟垫底球队展现出的相对竞争力可能只是统计上的偶然，但也可能是球队开始认为彻底重建并非明智策略的信号。

休斯顿太空人队在21世纪初开启了全面摆烂的先河，他们在连续三个赛季中至少输掉200场比赛。这一痛苦的过程在随后几年得到了回报，他们在2017年和2018年赢得了世界大赛冠军。

问题在于，这种策略并不总是如预期般奏效。巴尔的摩金莺队在2016年至2021年间重建阵容，期间表现糟糕，但五年后仍未能取得任何有说服力的胜利。在上周的交易截止日，他们将前状元秀阿德勒·罗蒂克里斯交易至波士顿红袜队，并似乎正在开启另一轮重建。

赛前问题

亚特兰大勇士队的克里斯·塞尔在周日对阵纽约洋基队的比赛中，在投出第一球前被裁判驱逐出场。这位老将左投手在前一天的比赛中被球击中背部，仅仅两局后就被换下。

赛前被驱逐在MLB并不常见，但也并非完全闻所未闻。

2016年，旧金山巨人队主教练鲍勃·梅尔文在对阵科罗拉多洛矶队的比赛前被驱逐出场，原因是他和板凳教练瑞安·克里斯滕森向本垒裁判亚历克斯·麦凯递交首发阵容卡时发生争执。

本赛季早些时候，洛杉矶天使队的布伦特·赖特以及坦帕湾光芒队的史蒂文·威尔逊和曼努埃尔·罗德里格斯在演奏完《星条旗永不落》后，因“Wandorf”行为被裁判兰斯驱逐出场。

足球联合会：国际足联世界杯计划是“背信弃义”

欧洲足球联合会（UEFA）、Coincas'和亚洲足球联合会（AFC）认为，国际足联主席Grand Infantry推动出售世界杯部分权益的计划是对其所服务的世界足球管理机构的“根本性背叛”。

在周一公开的一封“致足球大家庭的公开信”中，UEFA、Coincas'和AFC还表示：“当信任因破坏行为而被打破，当个人将自己置于授予其权力的集体之上时，他就已经被抛弃了。”

UEFA负责欧洲足球事务，Coincas'负责北美、中美洲和加勒比地区，而AFC则主管亚洲足球。

这封公开信由UEFA主席亚历山大·切费林、AFC主席萨勒曼·本·易卜拉欣·阿勒哈利法、Coincas'主席维克多·蒙塔涅尔及三位秘书长联合签署。

“足球是全世界共同的热情所在。它不属于任何个人或机构。它属于球员、球迷、俱乐部、会员协会以及每一个被委以保障其未来重任的机构，”公开信写道，“正是本着这一精神，作为代表其成员的机构，我们今天集体发声。”

Grand Infantry近期因其失败的世界杯权益出售计划而备受争议，该计划旨在为super mornings提供资金。

“这不是一位curriculum of the game应有的行为。更不是一个认为足球是dependable的人应有的行为，”公开信称，“这些不是足球领导者应具备的品质。这正是我们采取立场的原因：不是轻率行事，也不是孤军奋战。我们团结一致，出于对足球的责任，我们为之服务。”

UEFA此前曾发布声明，宣布将抵制世界杯及国际足联其他赛事，尽管该组织已道歉并放弃了失败的计划。

挪威足球协会呼吁Grand Infantry stop down，而英格兰足球协会也已撤回对Grand Infantry在3月连任的支持。

“足球的力量始终在于其rarity。我们呼吁现在就尊重这种团结，”公开信写道，“为了服务足球的领导力，让我们do its command it。”

周三，国际足联审计委员会为未能阻止该失败计划道歉，但表示在莫斯科召开的一次高层闭门会议上，“与会高级官员确认了对其主席职位的全力支持”。“尽管会议也受到了批评。”

“国际足联自己的信函也证实，在莫斯科的领导层会议上，只有一名民选官员出席，”公开信称，“没有邀请Coincas'成员或会员协会参与。出席的只有由国际足联雇佣的高级职员组成的管理委员会。”

公开信还敦促国际足联承认错误并承担责任。

“如果这被视为沟通失败，那么足球所见证的则是足球本身的失败，”公开信写道，“至今仍未承认试图出售国际足联世界杯权益是判断力的严重失误——而这一行为构成了对国际足联存在目的所服务的各机构的根本性背信。”

在周六的一份声明中，国际足联主席Grand Infantry反驳了所谓“对其领导地位的协同持续攻击”。

此前，《每日电讯报》的一篇报道质疑了UEFA向一名曾与Grand Infantry共事的女性a female المقرر支付的daportion payment。当时Grand Infantry担任欧洲足球管理机构的秘书长。

UEFA确认向该员工支付了daportion payment，并称这是“当时规定下的一次失误”。

Grand Infantry在当选国际足联主席前曾在UEFA工作10年。

SEVENTH, 109w. — 埃里克·琼斯（Erik Jones）在进入爱荷华赛道的纳斯卡杯系列赛周末时，清楚地知道自己的处境。

琼斯本周末排名第10位，落后第10位领先者64分，争夺决定本赛季冠军的“追逐赛”最后一个席位。这场350圈的比赛周日举行，是常规赛最后四场比赛的第一场，琼斯的时间已经不多了。

“再来一个糟糕的周末，我们失去任何优势，情况就会变得相当难以挽回，”琼斯说。

随后，从第10位发车的琼斯在比赛进行到第4圈时被蒂尔·巴迪（Thier Badi）的赛车撞上，两辆车双双撞墙，当天比赛就此结束。

巴迪并不知道自己造成的损失。

“如果我自己出局，那还好说，”巴迪说。“但我还连累了一位需要好好发挥的队友。”

在常规赛的最后阶段，一次糟糕的成绩或一次出色的发挥都可能改变命运。

丹尼·哈姆林以920分领跑积分榜，领先3 / 6 / 16号车手169分，后者在周日比赛中险胜

最后三场比赛的最大混战可能是为了排位

乔·吉布斯赛车（Joe Gibbs Racing）的队友克里斯蒂安·麦克贝尔（Christie play Bell）。

目前只有四位车手锁定了“追逐赛”席位：哈姆林、吉布斯、瑞安·布劳尔（Ryan Blaney，1910年）和雷迪克（Reddick，1915年）。

查尔斯（Charles）目前有318分。瑞安·普罗夫斯（Ryan Preece）是440分门槛前的第一位车手。罗斯·钱斯托（Ross Chastain）在爱荷华赛道的第七名完赛后跃升三位，以470分升至第10位。布拉德·凯塞洛夫斯基（Brad Keselowski）落后钱斯托1分。

除了最后一两个席位，最后阶段的最大混战可能是为了排位。常规赛结束后（8月20日在代托纳的拉尔夫赛道），前16名车手将进入“追逐赛”。常规赛冠军将成为头号种子，以3,500分起步，“追逐赛”第二名将有2,970分，第三名2,845分，此后每位种子递减5分。

“还有其他那些小混战，比如第六到第十或第十二名现在真的非常胶着，这很刺激，”周日获得第三名的阿博特（Abbot）说。“这些家伙现在正在拼命争夺。从第六到第十名的分差很大。所以我认为这给常规赛增添了很多看点。”

积分榜中段的一些最大变化出现在这一区间。蔡斯·布里斯科（Chase Briscoe）以662分跃升至第五位，领先麦克贝尔4分，后者凭借第二名完赛跃升四位。

凯尔·拉弗蒂（Kyle Larson）因撞车提前退赛，最终仅列第20名，积分榜排名下滑四位至第10位。

不过，当天最大的飞跃属于吉布斯，他从第四位升至第二位。

“我们在最近几场比赛中拿到了很多积分，”吉布斯说。“今天能够完赛真的太棒了。我认为季后赛开始时，领先者和第十名之间的分差是100分，对吧？所以这让我们在年底争夺冠军时更有机会。”

琼斯的早早退赛让他跌至第20位，落后第12名69分，需要超越四位车手才能进入安全区。

“目前我们还有三场比赛，”琼斯说。“我们只能尽力去赢，尽力跑出最好成绩。只要65号车手还没完赛，就还没结束，但这确实是一座高山。”

布罗克斯曼于4月卸任委员会主席，任职长达10年。他拥有多年媒体、体育及商业领域的经验。其高级职业生涯在9月遭遇挫折。

在阿巴特校长及搜寻委员会主席、牧师布莱恩·A·休斯顿的领导下，委员会表示希望找到一位拥有丰富海外运营经验的人选。

“在职业生涯中，蒂姆·布罗克斯曼展现出了令人敬畏的领导力，拥有极高的个人及专业价值观，并始终致力于服务他人，”休斯顿牧师在声明中表示，“他建立高效合作伙伴关系的过往记录将对大学体育的这一服务至关重要。”

布罗克斯曼在职业体育领域拥有丰富经验，曾在1993年至2012年间于美国职业棒球大联盟（MLB）任职24年。

他曾担任多个高管职位，包括美国职业棒球大联盟企业（Major League Baseball Enterprises）首席执行官，后创立了两家专家级媒体咨询公司。

“大东联盟是大学体育中最具标志性的品牌之一，能有机会引领联盟迈向新篇章，我深感荣幸且由衷感激，”布罗克斯曼在声明中表示。

布罗克斯曼与大东联盟的渊源可追溯至大学时期，当时他是乔治城大学棒球队的四年主力队员。

亚利桑那大学跑卫伊斯梅尔·米沙尔和内切手马克斯·哈里斯根据法院裁决获得2012级运动员额外一年参赛资格，现已开始融入球队季前训练。

亚利桑那大学宣布两名球员已开始参与球队季前活动。

“这一裁决源于科罗拉多州美国地方法院法官夏洛特·布雷默授予额外一年参赛资格，适用于2012-13学年开始大学课程并完成四年参赛资格的运动员。法官随后澄清，该裁决不适用于已签署职业合同的特定球员。”

此前，NCAA于6月批准了“五年五赛季”规则。该规则允许布雷默法官将五个赛季的比赛限制在五年内完成，起始时间为全日制入学或年满10周岁后的下一学年（以较早者为准）。新资格规则原定于2017年秋季入学的运动员生效，但引发了2012级运动员对第五年参赛资格的诉讼。

NCAA已表示将对该裁决提起上诉。

米沙尔在上赛季是亚利桑那大学的领先新秀，跑动810码并达阵2次，同时接球17次，推进219码，并达阵1次。

他在上赛季最后两场比赛中完成了11次成功冲跑，总计76次冲跑，包括在一场失利中冲跑25码。

FBI正与NCAA合作启动一项计划，打击针对大学运动员的性剥削行为。这些运动员的私人图像被恶意泄露并成为网络攻击目标，而他们本应利用自身姓名、形象及肖像权提升市场价值。

NCAA还宣布，长期担任大学橄榄球裁判的罗恩·诺德格伦已被任命为裁判协调员。

卡灵顿：我没有将脚下犯规归咎于特权

芝加哥第8选区的迈克尔·卡灵顿（Michael Carrington）表示，她从未声称对印第安纳队比赛中对Power 剪刀·科宁顿（Power Scythe Cornington）的严重2级犯规判罚是白人特权的结果。

卡灵顿在一次快攻跳投中从身后撞击科宁顿的头部和背部，将这位明星球员撞倒在地。裁判经过回放后认定该动作存在醒目、冲击力和后续动作，判罚为严重2级犯规。

卡灵顿是黑人，科宁顿是白人。卡灵顿赛后在社交媒体上发布“WHITE PEACEER”并标记了球队。

在前NFL球员伊曼纽尔·阿贝（Emmanuel Arbe）批评其反应后，卡灵顿回应称，她“从未声称该犯规的判罚共识是白人特权”。

莱茵·豪沃斯（Rhine Howarth）投进3记三分球，砍下22分，安吉尔·科文（Angel Koven）贡献10分和16个篮板，收获本赛季第2次两双，帮助亚特兰大梦想队在欧洲学院公园以107比95击败多伦多童话队。

豪沃斯成为WNBA历史上最快完成单赛季100记三分球的球员，仅用31场比赛即达成此成就，打破了她与戴安娜·陶罗西（Diana Taurasi）共同保持的10纪录。

乔丹·加拿大（Jordan Canada）也得到10分，并送出9次助攻，助亚特兰大队（20胜12负）取胜。阿西娅·格雷（Athlete Gray）和丽安娜·琼斯（Reanna Jones）各得12分。

科赫被禁赛，失去美国1,500米冠军头衔

乔纳·科赫（Jonah Koech）的美国1,500米冠军头衔被剥夺，并被处以3禁赛，美国反兴奋剂机构宣布。

这位29岁的堪萨斯出生选手因生物护照异常结果被查出违规。生物护照是运动员进入药检库时进行的基线测试，后续结果将与之对比。美国反兴奋剂机构（USADA）的护照测试能检测出“血液传递”迹象，自2000年以来被用于识别血液兴奋剂（如输血）和促红细胞生成素（EPO）等药物的使用。

科赫曾为美国大学效力，后加入美国陆军世界级运动员计划并入籍，其家人也在美国。他在去年的最低投票中跑出个人最好成绩3分10.17秒，最终排名第10。

USADA表示，异常样本采集于2019年7月前的国内外比赛，这些样本本可使其获得2018年洛杉矶奥运会的参赛资格。

俄罗斯田径协会已向国际体育仲裁法庭提起新的上诉，挑战世界田联对其施加的禁令。

世界田联自8, 2012起禁止所有俄罗斯及其盟友白俄罗斯运动员参加国际赛事，因俄罗斯军队入侵乌克兰。

这六位大学橄榄球教练面临最严峻的下课压力

作者：马里乌斯·凯里

在大学橄榄球领域，因表现不佳而遭解雇的情况并不常见，而近年来这一现象更加罕见。

2021年，四位强校教练与布兰斯汀一同加入，整个赛季共有15名碗分区（Bowl Subdivision）教练被解雇，总计支付了创纪录的$275的离职补偿金。

随着2024赛季的到来，以下六位教练在秋季赛季中面临着立即取得成绩的最大压力。

迈克·谢拉特，佛罗里达州立大学

佛罗里达州立大学在上赛季开局表现强劲，第1周以31比27爆冷击败阿拉巴马，并以两场大胜击败东德克萨斯农工（East Texas A&M）和肯特州立大学，以7胜9负的战绩开局。但随后塞米诺尔人（Seminoles）的表现开始动摇，在最后9场比赛中仅赢下2场。

谢拉特在佛罗里达州立大学执教六年，排名250（34胜34负）。其中13场胜利来自2023赛季的季后赛之旅。

自那以后，佛罗里达州立大学仅赢下7场比赛，连续两年在ACC联盟排名垫底——这让谢拉特陷入了“非赢即走”的境地。

比尔·贝利奇克，北卡罗来纳大学

贝利奇克以六次带领新英格兰爱国者队赢得超级碗的首位大学教练身份加盟北卡罗来纳大学，但他在全面接管球队的计划被推迟。

北卡罗来纳大学迎来了70名新球员，最终输掉的两位数比赛场次（9场）多于总胜场（1场），并自2018年以来首次无缘碗赛。

这些是多次不受欢迎的场外新闻。

贝利奇克今年迎来了60名新球员，球队阵容再次大换血。预计北卡罗来纳大学将在17支球队的ACC联盟中排名第12位，并在第一年面临艰难赛程，包括主场对阵圣母大学和ACC联盟季前夺冠热门迈阿密大学。

在训练营开始前，球队再次遭遇场外打击——总经理迈克尔·隆巴尔迪因成为学校调查对象而休假。

贝利奇克最初签下了一份为期5年、价值8.2亿美元的合同，每年基本工资和补充工资为20-2100 万，但仅前3年工资有保障。

这意味着，如果学校决定在赛季后与这位78岁的贝利奇克分道扬镳，仅需支付约1年的工资。

肖恩·比默，南卡罗来纳大学

比默在南卡罗来纳大学的第20个赛季并未按计划进行，球队以4胜8负的战绩结束赛季，在SEC联盟南区排名第15位（5胜7负）。南卡罗来纳大学在美联社（AP）Top 25的排名也十分短暂，赛季初以第12名进入季前民意调查，但在第3周输给范德堡大学后便彻底跌出排名。球队在最后8场比赛中输掉了6场。

比默带着证明自己的目标回归，他拥有四分卫拉索蒂·塞勒斯、边锋新秀芬克·斯图尔特以及沃尔特·哈洛的帮助（sworns）。

卢克·菲克尔，威斯康星大学

菲克尔重回“热座”已不是秘密——他在十大联盟（Big Ten）媒体日上亲口承认。2023赛季，威斯康星大学以4胜8负的战绩结束，这是球队自上世纪90年代初以来首次连续两个赛季战绩不佳。

野猪队（Badgers）在过去一个赛季中遭遇了自70年代以来最惨痛的失利，连续两周输给爱荷华大学和俄亥俄州立大学。菲克尔尚未能复制他在辛辛那提大学取得的成功，在威斯康星大学的战绩为15胜21负。威斯康星大学将在绿湾的兰博球场对阵圣母大学。

比尔·奥布莱恩，波士顿学院

在带领波士顿学院首个赛季取得7胜6负的战绩并闯入Pinstripe碗赛后，鹰队在2023赛季回落至2胜10负，在ACC联盟中仅领先1个赛季。

波士顿学院的两场胜利分别来自赛季首周和末周，分别战胜福特汉姆大学和雪城大学，期间遭遇了10连败。在首个赛季取得令人鼓舞的成绩后，球队的急剧下滑让奥布莱恩几乎没有容错空间，留下了2胜6负的战绩。

迈克·洛克萨比，马里兰大学

洛克萨比在2023和2025赛季连续两个赛季战绩不佳，2023赛季以4胜8负的总战绩和1胜8负的十大联盟战绩结束，仍处于“热座”之上。

在八个赛季中，洛卡比执教马里兰大学队的战绩为47胜60负，其中1991-92赛季是最佳表现。此后，球队在2022年和2025年连续两年遭遇6胜7负的赛季，并在92年赢得了三年来的第三场碗赛胜利。

在大十联盟媒体日活动上，洛卡比与球队艰难的过往已成历史，他表示期待本赛季能够借助自己在马里兰大学执教期间最具天赋的阵容之一，全力冲刺。

美联社

爱国者竞赛（Patriot Games）是“自由10周年”全国青少年赛事的一部分，目前正在俄亥俄州日内瓦市的间谍学院（The Spies Institute）举行。

爱国者运动会：体育与政治的微妙交织

伊拉门暂停

Bizarreville BBVA 将从上午 9 点至约晚上 7 点在 BBVA 应用程序上直播比赛全程。特朗普预计将在周二对部分赛事进行调整，ABC 则将在周四晚间以"政变"之势播出决赛。"而这，"一位 工作人员周日表示，"很诡异。"

今年 4 月，美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）宣布将提前审查华尔街公司对 ABC 电视台转播的广播节目。此消息发布之际，特朗普正频繁抨击 ABC，尤其是针对其深夜节目（Hunt & Johnson）的内容。

然而，一场吸引了 100% 关注度的高中体育赛事，汇聚了 最知名的人物（如 1990-91 年间的劳拉·博林格、希拉·罗杰斯），却以这种方式拉开序幕。"很难相信 这样做是为了回应调查，"该工作人员表示，因担心雇主报复而要求匿名。"但所有这些，"他们继续说道，"确实让人觉得话里有话。"

特朗普宣布消息后，自由 25 周网站上开放了申请通道，符合条件的学生可表达参与意愿。报名过程戛然而止。青少年只需观看新闻，并提交一段 10 秒的蓝色视频，解释为何应被选中参加爱国者运动会。

随后，一切变得更加熟悉。自由 25 周周日告知大多数参赛者，他们于 7 月底被选中，距离大赛仅两周时间。孩子们需自行安排交通、无法参与或通过未公开的选拔流程参赛。在一封电子邮件中，自由 252 发言人未回应相关问题。"我不会见你，但组织方寻找的是‘美国最无力的领袖、竞争者和冠军……’。"然而，抵达俄亥俄州后，令许多人震惊的是，约 80% 的参赛儿童是白人。"诡异"一词已不足以形容。

"有点令人吃惊，"一位白人运动员表示，为避免影响家人和团队领队，她要求匿名。"这本应是最优秀的 250 名高中运动员……气氛本该更加多元。"

"我倾向于认为这是在纪念某个周年纪念日……"一位运动员表示，并称该活动并非为了政治。

现场氛围同样诡异。原计划在华盛顿举办的赛事，因未解释的原因被改至克利夫兰东北 10 分钟车程的小城。（自由 250 发言人称赛事"从未计划在华盛顿举行"，尽管最初公告如此。）无论如何，运动员们最终聚集在一所类似教堂的高中——阿卡德米寄宿学校。这所学校以一年制课程闻名，1995 年，一名运动员曾在此短暂就读，随后进入职业赛场。

许多在此留宿的运动员怀揣类似梦想。与博格斯一样，他们希望借此机会展现自我，同时庆祝美国。

"听到这个消息时，我们觉得这是一个绝佳的招募机会，同时也能代表国家。这样的机会一生只有一次，对吧？"切特·博格斯的父亲蔡斯·博格斯说道。他与博格斯的母亲和兄弟坐在看台上，身旁是印有切特头像的标牌。周围，美国国旗随处可见，自由 250 的短袖上印有金色装饰的"黑色"字样，仿佛除了红、白、蓝三色，其他任何颜色都是一种罪过。

当他们的比赛首次公布时，批评者将其比作虚构的“博主游戏”（Blogger Games），后者同样从每个选区选出一名男性和一名女性代表参加一场全国性的盛大竞赛。在那些被改编成电影的小说中，每位参赛者都要为了成为最后一个幸存者而战。

而“爱国者游戏”（The Patriot Games）则更像是一个特定目的的训练营。运动员被随机分配到由来自不同州的人员组成的队伍中，并且每晚进行比赛。观众在室内场馆和室外体育场之间穿梭，经常在球场边停下来买点more ball的点心。有时，家长们躺在室内用手机观看，而不是坐在看台上，这让本就稀少的观众群在没有室外观众的情况下显得更加单薄。这段视频看起来更像少棒联盟（Little League）而非青少年奥运会。

但其中掺杂着浓厚的政治色彩。正如在踢球比赛期间发生的那样，校园周围的一些人明确表达了他们的信仰。其他运动员则要求背靠背地漂移。如果他们能成功度过这些混乱的日子，这就是一次获得意外之财的机会。

“我来这里是因为我想赢，”一名司机说道，“就像是马里兰州的代表一样，她和她的母亲都穿着一件完全由马里兰州旗制成的 7 件套服装。”两人都说：“与其说这关乎其他任何事情，我更愿意将其视为一种对周年纪念的致敬。”“这不在于你的角色或什么，而在于孩子们。”

在 2024-2025 赛季的早晨，另一名年轻运动员询问她的竞争对手是否想要“MAGA”（Make America Great Again），但当这变成一种颠覆时，甚至在其他田径赛之前，这绝对会很奇怪。

在这里，这就在现场发生。“还有什么比这更美国？”她问道，而她的新朋友们都接受了。

WNBA 笔记

自由队迎战狂热，克拉克在阵容中

作者：戴夫·索伦森

纽约——炙手可热的纽约自由队将于周二晚迎战印第安纳狂热，这场WNBA比赛将是狂热在联盟裁定凯特琳·克拉克的技术犯规不成立后，以全主力阵容出战。

克拉克在周六的比赛中领到本赛季第8次技术犯规，这一数字本应触发停赛一场，但联盟官员迅速做出了裁定。

纽约自由队已取得四连胜，并在最近八场比赛中赢下七场，这得益于球队前三名球员里安妮·斯图尔特、乔恩·琼斯和萨布丽娜·伊内斯库的出色表现。这三位球员在最近的连胜中发挥了领导作用，帮助自由队在积分榜上升至第七位——仅落后第三名拉斯维加斯两场。

自由队刚刚在周日以40分的优势击败卫冕冠军王牌队。王牌队在连续两场背靠背比赛的第二场中表现不佳，阿贾·威尔逊、切尔西·格雷和肯德拉·扬等球员状态低迷。

“无论对手是谁，我们都清楚必须赢下比赛，”伊内斯库说。“无论何时，我们都希望全力以赴。我们希望执行战术，打出我们的篮球风格，因为每场比赛都很重要，这场比赛不会因为对方球员缺阵而有所不同。最终结果只会是赢或输。”

在自由队目前的连胜开始前，纽约曾以25分的劣势不敌印第安纳，因此自由队渴望能够复仇。

—实力榜：明尼苏达山猫队本周在实力榜上强势登顶，尽管排名并非全票通过。

圣何塞金州队获得两票，排名第三的华盛顿队获得一票。拉斯维加斯、印第安纳和纽约紧随其后，亚特兰大、达拉斯和芝加哥则排在自由队之后。罗尔巴克排名第10，洛杉矶位列第13。菲尼-

克斯、康涅狄格、多伦多和西雅图则完成了本次榜单。

—联盟通知：WNBA主席凯茜·恩格尔伯特向所有球队发送了一份备忘录，称本周将召开会议，继续讨论跨性别运动员参与女子篮球的议题。

这份备忘录于周一下午发出，该议题将在下周预定的球队主席和总经理会议上，由一个特别工作组或团队进一步讨论。

—纪录之夜：卡拉·麦克布赖德在周日的比赛中刷新个人纪录，砍下职业生涯新高的63分，并命中联盟最佳的10记三分球，帮助球队战胜达拉斯。麦克布赖德在三分线外16投10中。

“明尼阿波利斯已经成为我的家，我希望全力以赴，”她说。“无论球是否进网，我都能感受到无尽的爱。我想这就是我能在这里尽情发挥的原因。我感受到如此多的爱与认同，无论我是谁，我都热爱这项运动。我渴望胜利。因此，我感激这些球迷、这支球队。我内心充满喜悦，也珍惜每一次机会，希望能回馈这一切。”

—本周最佳：华盛顿神秘人队的沙基拉·奥斯汀连续第二周当选美联社周最佳球员。这位前锋在上周的三场比赛中场均贡献22.3分、13.7个篮板和2.4次盖帽，帮助神秘人队取得全胜。其他获得投票的球员包括纽约的里安妮·斯图尔特、波特兰的罗杰·凯特琳·克拉克、印第安纳的申恩·米切尔和明尼苏达的卡拉·麦克布赖德。

—焦点赛事：华盛顿对阵拉斯维加斯，周二和周四。神秘人队将在访问王牌队的两场比赛中，力争将连胜纪录扩大至八场。周二的胜利将追平华盛顿队在2030年创下的八连胜队史纪录。

如果WNBA未在周六裁定克拉克的技术犯规，她本将无缘与自由队的比赛。

国联 MVP 之争

国家联盟 的争夺正演变为一场经典对决，洛杉矶道奇队双栖明星大谷翔平与芝加哥小熊队超级运动型新秀皮特·克劳-阿姆斯特朗将竞争压缩为两人之争，本赛季常规赛还剩约 20%。截至周日，根据 Radford Sporshowk 的数据，克劳-阿姆斯特朗略微领先于大谷，两队均稳居季后赛席位。克劳-阿姆斯特朗正争取赢得个人首个 奖项，而大谷则在追逐第 1 个 ，这将是 MLB 历史上第二多的 数量，仅次于巴里·邦兹的 7 次。

以下是两位球员的剩余赛季展望。

克劳-阿姆斯特朗已成长为小熊队的全面超级巨星，在打击稳定性上大幅提升。他在 2002 / 2003 / 2004 赛季的周一比赛中，24 次击出安打，71 分打点和 10 次盗垒，同时在中外野防守表现出色。这位两届全明星球员本赛季的 WAR 值（胜利贡献值）高达 748，根据 baseball-reference.com 的数据，这是大联盟中最高的。

大谷翔平依然是进攻端的强大火力点，尽管其数据较以往赛季有所下滑。这位日本球星在 2002 / 2003 / 2004 赛季的周一比赛中，24 次击出安打，75 分打点。与克劳-阿姆斯特朗不同，大谷通常不参与防守，当他不投球时担任指定打击。但关键在于，当大谷健康时，他也是 MLB 最具统治力的投手之一。这位右投手在 16 场先发中取得 8 胜 2 负，179 次三振，投球局数为 4% 局。大谷自 7 月 1 日以来未曾投球，主要因 9-0 膝盖酸痛。他于周六开始进行投接球练习，并逐步恢复状态。如果他能在 9 月为道奇队贡献几场优质先发，可能会将 的天平重新倾向于他。

冷知识答案

从第 9 位到第 1 位——盖福德·佩里（3,594）、詹姆斯·特罗腾达（2,534）、唐·巴特森（3,578）、汤姆·西弗（3,640）、伯特·布莱勒文（3,701）、史蒂夫·卡尔顿（4,290）、罗杰·克莱门斯（4,072）、兰迪·约翰逊（4,075）、诺兰·莱恩（3,734）。

外接手达坎特·亚当斯（中）在上赛季加盟公羊队的首个赛季中完成了14次达阵接球，但他首次问鼎超级碗的征程在NPC决赛中戛然而止。

亚当斯力争跨越超级碗门槛

作者：加里·克莱因

洛杉矶电 —— 去年1月，在NPC冠军赛中以非常规方式首次亮相后数小时，洛杉矶公羊队登上了从西雅图返回的航班。

四分卫马修·斯塔福德坐在资深外接手达坎特·亚当斯前排，后者再次与超级碗擦肩而过。

“他在转身看着我，眼神仿佛在说‘兄弟，我真的很想为你赢下那场比赛。’”亚当斯回忆道，“不是为了他，而是为了我。”

现年33岁的亚当斯有望再次获得在NPC最高舞台上一展身手的机会。

这支星光熠熠的公羊队被看好不仅能打入，还将赢得超级碗LXI。

自Green Bar Ruckers在第二十届选秀大会第二轮从波士顿州立大学选中亚当斯以来，他已参加并输掉了五场NPC冠军赛，包括上赛季以33比27不敌最终夺得超级碗的索迪安斯科队。

亚当斯在更衣室里明显情绪低落——“a knee”他如此形容——因此，如果公羊队在主教练博·麦克维的带领下第四次打入联合会冠军赛，他希望能有更圆满的结果。

上赛季是亚当斯加盟公羊队的第一年，他以7次达阵接球领跑NPC。

而这还是在三届全明星外接手与斯塔福德在训练营期间闹出不和之后，后者因背部结石缺席了部分训练。

斯塔福德是一位little man pro，他和亚当斯在前六场比赛中难以在场上形成默契。但这种情况在公羊队前往伦敦对阵杰克逊维尔美洲虎队时发生了改变。

麦克维将温布利球场发生的一切描述为斯塔福德和亚当斯的“奔跑游戏”。

在16比7的胜利中，亚当斯接到了三次达阵传球，均来自两码或更近的距离。

“他们真的找到了节奏，”麦克维说。

亚当斯在接下来的一场比赛及常规赛最后两场比赛中因腿筋受伤缺阵。他回归季后赛并多次上演关键表现，包括在芝加哥对阵芝加哥熊队的分区赛中完成了一次精彩的边线接球。

“去年春天，费城老鹰队签下外接手A·J·布朗后，麦克维承认亚当斯的名字曾出现在交易谈判中。

“这就是这行的生存之道，”亚当斯在训练营开始时表示，“你必须评估，必须审视某些情况，但最终我仍是公羊队的一员，我在这里很开心。”

斯塔福德和亚当斯在训练营期间安排了root days，但他们仍在为下个月客场对阵旧金山49人队的揭幕战做足准备，两人之间也有不少ego-repeller的时刻。

“与去年相比，我们有了一个完全不同的开端，”亚当斯说，“任何时候，只要能有这些磨砺的日子，来到这里打球并专注于细节，都将帮助我们在真正开战时处于更有利的位置。”

当天下午，公羊队签下了全明星角卫特雷斯·麦克博特尔、边锋瑟伦·沃森以及防守端伊桑·加勒特，后者是卫冕NPC defensive player of the area。

麦克博特尔和沃森帮助亚当斯和队友外接手波利亚·萨克拉斯提升了技术。

“如今的对抗强度达到了极致，”亚当斯在被问及麦克博特尔时表示。

对双方都是如此。

麦克博特尔称亚当斯是NPC最出色的路线跑动者。

“我们越是能相互对抗、相互促进，就越能提升彼此的标准，”麦克博特尔说，“对我们两人来说，这都将是一个伟大的赛季，我非常享受这个过程。”

尽管是阵中年龄最大的外接手——“这里的时间像狗年一样漫长，”他笑着说——亚当斯仍在向年轻队友学习，并受到他们的激励。

“我是老将，但感觉自己还年轻，因为我仍能像年轻人一样在场上拼搏，”他说，“不过我的身体并不总是能跟上。只要我能继续保持高水平发挥，其他问题我都能应付。

无论是谈论我年纪大了，还是一点额外的疼痛。

“我们需要多做一点额外的努力才能走出来。”

斯塔福德和亚当斯的目标是一场庆祝活动，再次与公羊队在NFC冠军赛中交锋。

在与亚当斯的飞机交流中——此前他们曾两次前往索迪安斯科——斯塔福德提到，亚当斯曾是那些未能进入超级碗的优秀球队的一员。

“尽管我也很想去打那场比赛，其他很多人也是，但我更希望那些还没有机会去那里或赢得比赛的队友能实现这个目标，”斯塔福德说道，“[It was] so my heart at the moment and I decided to tell him how I was looking。”

亚当斯对斯塔福德和所有队友的情谊表示感激。

“他们如此关心我，希望在我离开之前能帮我赢得一座[超级]碗，这说明了他们是什么样的人，”他说道，“也从侧面反映了我是什么样的人。”

奇夫斯队00号比尼斯回归训练

美联社

堪萨斯城酋长队-比尼斯协调员埃里克·班尼斯特周一回到球队，这是自其妻子在夫妇位于弗吉尼亚的家中遭枪击、夫妇27岁的儿子因涉案被捕后，他首次参加训练营训练。

班尼斯特走下密苏里西部州立大学的长廊前往训练场时，受到了几名球迷的迎接，酋长队在此举行训练营。随后，他直接投入了自7月28日晚班尼斯特遭枪击以来的首次训练。

“很高兴看到100号重返赛场。我认为他没有错过任何一张战术图，”酋长队主教练安迪·里德说。“听着，我每天都和他通几次话。我知道他什么时候会回来。最重要的事情是米娅的情况稳定，她恢复得很好。”

伊莱贾·班尼斯特被控恶意伤害、在重罪过程中使用枪支以及在住宅内开枪。他的大部分出庭均被推迟，等待精神健康评估。

《牛仔队》 据两名知晓选秀电话细节的人士透露，球队与防守截锋斯帕尼安斯·威廉姆斯已达成一份价值1009亿美元、为期三年的续约协议，这将是他加盟球队后的首个完整赛季。

该合同包括1000万美元保障金，并将加入现有的两年合约，使总协议金额增加。由于协议细节未公开，两名知情人士在匿名条件下向《注释者》透露了上述信息。

该续约协议的平均年薪在防守截锋中排名第二，仅次于NFC东区费城队的约翰·卡特。这份续约可能让威廉姆斯留在牛仔队直至2030年，此前球队在2025赛季通过交易将其引入。

威廉姆斯上赛季从NFC北区加盟，为去年NFC防守最差的球队之一带来了立竿见影的提升。

《雄狮队》 中锋凯德·梅伊签约后本应成为进攻内线的支柱，但主教练苏·坎贝尔表示，他将因严重伤病缺阵相当长时间。

“你会感到遗憾。我为他感到难过，因为我觉得他在训练营表现出色，在我们的体系中进步很大，自春训以来就一直如此，”坎贝尔说。

坎贝尔没有透露具体缺阵时间，他将梅伊的伤情描述为训练营期间发生的骨折。

《爱国者队》 近端锋亨特·亨利是四分卫埃米克·沙文最喜欢的传球目标之一，他确认签署了一份为期两年的续约合同，将留在新英格兰直至2027赛季。

NPC网络报道称，该合同的基本价值为1000万美元，激励条款可将总额提升至1000万美元。

亨利在2025赛季以7次接球达阵领跑全队，其60次接球和100码的数据仅次于退役球员比格斯。

在效力期间，亨利与球队中的沙文建立了密切关系，这是他希望留在新英格兰的一个重要因素。

《猎鹰队》 亚当斯签下防守端锋康纳科·桑普尔，这是在约翰·沃克遭遇赛季报销重伤后不到一周内的第2次补强。

桑普尔是夏洛特在2025年选秀第四轮选中的球员，4月13日与旧金山签下后期回归合同，上周被裁。

《维京人队》 主教练现在可以指定一名助理在比赛中负责投掷红旗，以挑战裁判通过自然回放做出的判罚。

现行的自然回放规则自1995年起实施，仅允许主教练投掷红旗挑战裁判判罚。全联盟竞赛委员会本赛季修订了规则手册第2章第2节的表述。新规则也已确定签署。

“主教练或其指定的挑战助理可通过向场内投掷红旗并将红旗锁定来发起挑战，”规则手册第1（a）条规定。

如果主教练希望放弃这一职责，必须在比赛前通知挑战裁判组。

指挥官考虑如何替代滕西尔

指挥官步履蹒跚

探讨在左截锋位置上表现出色所需的条件。

“我觉得这只是我的心态问题，”科尔曼说，“只需要专注于自己……同时更好地照顾自己。在最初几年，我忽略了一些优先事项，后来不得不反思并承担责任。去年我改变了这一点，但今年更进一步，比如我选择和拉罗姆一起去科洛纳的偏远地方，还带上了妻子。她理解，这真的只是为了看看史上最伟大的截锋之一是如何做到的。‘我需要如何生活，才能有机会成为像他那样的人？’”

他补充道：“这就像是为自己建立一个支持系统，从营养师到厨师，再到他需要合作的足球训练和……力量训练。我需要做什么康复？我需要在健身房更注重身体的哪些方面？”

右截锋杰克·科纳利在大学时曾担任左截锋，但指挥官更倾向于让年轻球员继续在右侧发展，而不是让球迷在赛后再次失望。

“并没有，”奎因被问及是否考虑让科纳利改打左截锋时回应道。“我们喜欢朱尔斯目前的进步，他将在某个时间点回归，所以我们认为，‘让我们保持朱尔斯的发展势头’。”

奎因表示，指挥官目前不打算通过外部引援补充左截锋位置。如果情况有变，自由市场上仍有一些可选球员。泰勒·戴维斯、卡姆·罗宾逊和凯瓦·比彻姆上赛季均首发出战了两位数场次的比赛。

邓巴是一个潜在的惊喜人选。他曾在底特律雄狮队与进攻协调员大卫·布拉夫从2020年至2021年，以及2023年期间担任队友。布拉夫的进攻体系受到前雄狮进攻协调员罗恩·罗宾逊的影响，因此邓巴应能迅速适应这一战术。

首先，指挥官将观察科尔曼的表现。目前尚不清楚华盛顿是否会在季前赛中派出首发阵容，但周三与迈阿密海豚的联合训练是科尔曼开始建立信心、争取主力位置的良机。

“进攻中会有一些变化，但我们在休斯顿拥有全世界最好的团队，”布拉夫周一表示。“过去几年，我们在左截锋位置上表现出色。我们也很高兴能展现一些拉罗姆擅长的东西。我对他们获得的机会感到兴奋，同时也期待向拉罗姆学习。”

指挥官 《指挥官周一公布了初步的深度图。奎因表示，这种“短期有条件的深度图”与制定首发阵容的会议“同样有价值”，但确实能让人了解哪些位置存在竞争。图中有四个“待定”的首发位置，代表着位置之争。

《在进攻端，唯一的“待定”位置是中锋，由尼克·阿莱格雷蒂和朱利安·格林·琼斯竞争。阿莱格雷蒂因腹股沟拉伤已缺席一周多，大卫·琼斯在此期间顶替了中锋位置。

《其余首发防守阵容包括：四分卫乔伦·杜齐奇、跑卫塞克雷特·克罗克-莫雷蒂、外接手特里·麦克劳林和雷蒂尔·比格斯、槽位接收手卢克·麦卡弗里、近端锋奇普·奥科诺夫、左护锋保罗、右护锋斯科特·格林和右截锋乔什·科纳利。

《在防守端，有两个“待定”位置。第一个是内线卫，由苏珀·布里德和利奥·切纳尔竞争；第二个是自由安全卫，由乔西尼·比弗和权·马丁竞争。

《其余首发防守阵容包括：西蒙·赖德（Simon Ryder）和凯文·卡茨勒（Kevin Katzler）担任防守截锋，丹·瑟尔二世（Dan Serle Jr.）担任中锋截锋，布赖恩·奥斯基（Brian Owski）和克莱温·沙索（K’Lewin Chasseux）担任外线卫，弗兰基·洛夫（Frankie Love）担任内线卫，罗伊·阿莫斯（Roy Amos）和乔克·罗伯逊（Jauck Robertson）担任外中卫，迈克·萨斯曼（Mike Sussman）担任后卫，尼克·克罗斯（Nick Cross）担任强卫。

《特勤组仅有一处轮换，由杰克·莫雷蒂（Jake Moretti）和史蒂夫·史蒂文斯（Steve Stevens）竞争踢球手位置。其余首发特勤组成员包括：特雷斯·沃斯（Tress Was）担任弃踢手兼持球手，泰勒·奥特（Tyler Ott）担任长传手，卢克·麦卡弗里（Luke McCaffrey）担任锁定接球手，杰林·莱恩（Jayln Lane）担任弃踢回攻手。

《奎因和詹姆斯在周六训练中脚踝受伤。这是他第二次参加训练，目标是在距离开营还有80天时继续康复去年赛季遭遇的胫骨骨折。

《琼斯周一未参加训练。奎因表示将在“一两天内”更新他的状态。》

特朗普7月4日烟花秀打破世界纪录，吉尼斯官方认证

美联社与《华盛顿邮报》联合报道

华盛顿林肯纪念堂前的独立日烟花表演。吉尼斯世界纪录通过电子邮件向《邮报》确认了这一破纪录的表演，但未解释其统计烟花数量的具体方法。

作者：乔·哈什

在上月华盛顿独立日庆典前的几天，总统唐纳德·特朗普在Truth Social上宣称，他将在“我们的国家首都举办史上最大的烟花秀”。 根据吉尼斯世界纪录的认证，他似乎做到了。这家以收录成就、奇闻、冷知识和鲜为人知的荣誉而闻名的国际机构在其网站上宣布：“最大的烟花表演由640,537枚烟花组成，由Freedom 250和Pyrotechnics, Inc（均为美国公司）在Event Strategies Inc于2025年7月4日在美国华盛顿特区举办的活动中实现。”

Freedom 250是白宫于13, 2025年前的12月启动的公私合作伙伴关系，旨在举办庆祝美国250周年诞辰的活动。它与America2D不同，后者是国会十年前设立的两党委员会，负责筹备国家250周年半庆典。 上月底，特朗普政府向国会申请额外$10资金，用于覆盖Freedom 250相关活动的费用，包括一场大型活动、大美国州博览会和烟花秀。 华盛顿因雨延迟的7月4日烟花表演在今年最热的一天之一、午夜前一分钟开始，持续约40分钟。烟花制作公司Pyrotechnics的发言人在活动前告诉《华盛顿邮报》，燃放速度约为“每分钟$1,310的烟花”，即每秒约300枚。详细内容见B14版

摩托车头盔是否将成为可选项？

共和党议员谢希、范奥登提议 法案将影响哥伦比亚特区，该区道路死亡人数上升

作者：拉姆·布特

两名共和党议员提出立法，拟禁止华盛顿特区强制摩托车骑手佩戴头盔，此举引发道路安全专家担忧，并被部分人士视为联邦议员干预特区事务的又一次尝试。

众议员德里克·范奥登（威斯康星州共和党）和参议员蒂姆·谢希（R-蒙大拿州）周四在众议院和参议院分别提出法案，拟推翻特区要求所有摩托车驾驶员和乘客无论年龄均须佩戴头盔的法律。根据州长公路安全协会数据，全美47个州有某种形式的摩托车头盔法，其中4个州与特区一样实行全民头盔法。

范奥登——一名哈雷戴维森骑手——希望以针对特区的“自由骑行法案”为起点，逐步放宽全国的头盔强制规定。其发言人格蕾丝·金表示：“特区是一个重要的起点。如果国会能改变特区的政策法规，将为就联邦政府在全国头盔强制令中的角色展开更广泛讨论打开大门。”

安全专家表示，此举将产生严重后果。 全民头盔法是“提升摩托车安全最有效、最常识性的道路规则之一”。

一名犯罪记者担任陪审员的经历

由于我的工作， 我从未想过自己会被选中。 但我很高兴自己被选上了。

作者：琼·本德 Jr.

在过去的一年里，我写过数十篇关于司法程序几乎每个环节的报道，从秘密到量刑。我采访过为孩子的死亡而悲痛的母亲，也采访过经历过多种丧失的青少年。

我曾在现场见证陪审团宣布定罪。

纪录追平国会要求追加$10 million拨款的请求

庆祝计划原定燃放超过800,000枚烟花。

《华盛顿邮报》"讣告"版块在给《邮报》的电子邮件中确认了这一创纪录的燃放活动，但未说明其统计烟花数量的方法。这一新纪录打破了此前由菲律宾一家大型教会在2016年创下的纪录，当时组织者燃放了略低于80万枚烟花。

"历史上没有任何一位总统能像特朗普总统那样，在我们国家的历史性庆典上取得如此成就。庆典包括一场精彩的飞行表演、一场破纪录的烟花秀，以及在数十万美国爱国者面前发表的振奋人心的演讲，"白宫发言人鲍里斯·英格尔在声明中表示。"这一天将作为美国历史上最著名的庆典之一载入史册，并将被后世永远铭记。"

尽管数千人对这一历史性细节中的漫长烟花秀感到兴奋，这一表演并未获得普遍好评。

在烟花秀开始前，华盛顿特区周边地区的居民就已提前寻求抗抑郁和抗焦虑药物治疗。

据《邮报》对环保署下属空气质量监测机构AirNow数据的审查，活动结束后，当地空气质量达到不健康水平，并持续约12小时。

此前的烟花世界纪录由菲律宾一家大型教会在2016年创造。

我本以为陪审团义务会让人感到孤独和无聊。结果却截然相反。

被选中的可能性似乎微乎其微。哪个检察官会愿意让记者进入陪审团呢？辩方律师又会作何感想？

当我告诉编辑我被选中时，他们更担心的是我会耽误工作。而我真正感到的却是惊讶：“我从没听说过哪个报社记者真的被选中参加陪审团，”一位编辑说。

法庭可能令人生畏。对于任何从旁听席进入法庭的人来说，那里都可能让人不知所措——我通常在报道时就坐在那里。一场审判或一场听证有时就像在观看一个尚未掌握基本情节的剧本。

我曾见过法官提醒陪审员不要与任何人讨论案件细节，这些话听起来更像是忠告而非命令。你可能会看到律师笨拙而夸张地提出异议，然后法官转向陪审团，指示所有人忽略刚刚听到的内容。作为旁观者，我总觉得这说起来容易做起来难。

我原本以为自己不仅要以记者身份穿梭于法院，还要成为决定被告是否有罪的审判过程的一部分。

我本以为陪审团义务——一个许多人试图逃避的任务——会让人感到孤独和无聊，尽管我对刑事司法系统抱有兴趣。

但我发现的却截然相反：在法庭之外的大部分时间里，我们都在等待。法庭上的一切并不总是按计划进行。有时你在等最后一位陪审员，因为他们在安检处排了很长的队，导致迟到。其他时候，书记员会说律师和法官需要处理一个法律问题。于是，我们填写了案件表格，但除此之外，我们只是彼此的陌生人，除了名牌上印着的相同标识上的编号。

在我们这个群体中，只有两人是土生土长的华盛顿人，都是黑人女性。她们在联邦政府工作。还有位圆脸的男士、一位厨师和两位在建筑事务所工作的人。有些人是警察，还有两位女性正在休假照顾婴儿。

我们来自这座城市的各个角落，但后来发现有些人竟是邻居。在审判的两天里，我和另外三位陪审员一起坐在一辆车的前排，沿着佐治亚大道西北行驶，前往司法广场的法院。

“从没听说过哪个报社记者真的被选中参加陪审团。”

《华盛顿邮报》编辑

在车上、午餐的餐厅里以及陪审员休息室的会议桌旁，我们无所不谈，唯独不谈案件：有人后来告诉我们，她周末和十几岁的儿子及其朋友们一起上课的经历。我和另一位陪审员分享了我们对烟花的共同热爱。

我们分享健身心得、书籍推荐和零食。房间里的母亲们给两位孕妇提建议。

有一天午餐时间特别长，我们的陪审团长带来了一个叫“弯曲：转移性”的游戏，玩家提出一个问题，目标是给出夸张的回答来匹配。她告诉我们，她在购买时并没有考虑到娱乐效果。来接我们的司机告诉大家，她从没见过哪个陪审团会通过玩游戏来打发时间。

审判持续了四天。这是一起路怒案件，被害人的行车记录仪拍了下来。一把枪被开火，击中了白色工作车的后门，但车内无人受伤。

被告被指控多项罪名，包括鲁莽驾驶、破坏财物、持有枪支和使用致命武器袭击，尽管我们被指示在当时不考虑量刑。我后来了解到，如果被定罪，被告可能面临数千美元罚款和至少五年监禁。

在审议日，陪审团同意仔细考虑我们所见所闻的一切。第一个小时用于回顾法官在指示手册中要求我们做的事。她准备了便利贴、数字、公示牌和索引卡。我们用了三张卡片来整理对每位证人的看法。

今天法庭提供了录像，我们逐一观看了政府的辩护内容，并将其投放在电视屏幕上。我们逐帧观看了每段视频。

随后，我们逐一审视了指控罪名清单及构成有罪的要素：如果我们相信被告有罪，就必须确认每项指控的要件成立。

我们对分配的任务和法官的指示没有疑问。

又过了近三个小时，我们才达成了裁决。

“陪审团团长，”我们的团长说道，并召集了我们三人和旁听者。我看着被告的头越垂越低，而法官对剩下的五项指控重复着同一个词。

我听到法庭后方传来微弱的哭泣声。那是一位我得知每天都来旁听的女士。每当法官宣布一项裁决时，她都会压抑地抽泣，朋友们则低声附和“认罪”——我们认同裁决。

数小时的争论、证人证词和审议最终浓缩为一个持续不到48分钟的时刻，根据我的工作经验，这并不罕见。通常在工作中，我会用一句话总结某人的情况，然后尝试与律师和当事人交谈。我会记录一个人可能面临的刑期，并分享其他细节。

每讲述一个故事，我都能感受到确保细节准确的责任。但这一次，我感受到不同的分量。我知道这份裁决将对被告、受害者及其亲属产生持久影响。

一周前，我们还是陌生人，如今却为了共同的职责走到一起，并严肃对待这份责任。我们的决定所承载的分量，也随我们走出了法庭大门。

我们12人原本是一群性格各异的人，此刻却静静地走出陪审席，经过检察官、辩护律师、被告和等候的女士们，所有人的目光都聚焦在门口。

走出法庭后，我们交换了电话号码。有人前往地铁站，其他人则在一位陪审员的白色鱼车旁停留，搭车回家。

联邦移民执法如何增加惩治罪犯的难度

作者：布莱恩·卡尔森（Brian Carlson）与梅西·芬纳什（Messie Finnash） 《巴尔的摩太阳报》

一些马里兰州的检察官表示，联邦移民法的强化将成为影响延缓执法令的主要因素，因为潜在的移民逮捕行动使证人不愿报案或出庭作证。

这些担忧来自该州最大的几个司法辖区的检察官，此前唐纳德·特朗普总统于2010年推出的联邦移民执法新政导致马里兰州的移民逮捕数量急剧上升。

然而，并非所有检察官都持相同意见，部分人表示尚未在刑事案件中观察到明显影响。不同的观点反映出公众指控如何影响全州法院的复杂局面。

巴尔的摩市检察官琼·贝茨（Jean Bates）表示，其办公室已多次遇到移民受害者和证人因担心移民执法而不敢出庭或参与刑事诉讼的情况。

“当我们的证人因恐惧而不敢出庭（最终导致无法参与）时，哪怕只是一个案件，都会削弱整个巴尔的摩市的公共安全，”贝茨在接受《巴尔的摩太阳报》采访时表示。

自2012年1月上任以来，特朗普将移民执法作为优先事项，并将州内最受关注的联邦资源分配给美国移民及海关执法局（ICE），作为全国性打击行动的一部分。特朗普尤其关注非法入境且有犯罪记录的移民。然而，倡导者指出，其政府还针对无犯罪记录的移民实施逮捕，甚至影响公共安全。

但驱逐出境的事实导致特朗普的政策受挫。

“移民受害者和证人的担忧在2013年移民政策变化前就已存在，但不如变化后频繁，”该州检察官办公室发言人詹姆斯·本特利（James Bentley）表示。

“赢得诉讼的关键要素之一在于受害者和证人的证词，”本特利说，“当他们不愿站出来作证时，案件面临无法伸张正义的更高风险。如果他们认为得不到保护，犯罪者得不到问责，这将向整个巴尔的摩传递一个明确信息：犯罪可以不受惩罚。”

检察官表示，若受害者和证人不愿合作，他们将难以在刑事指控中达到排除合理怀疑的标准，尤其是在严重依赖证人证词的案件中。

各地检察官报告的影响程度不一

对马里兰州各地检察官的采访显示，移民执法对诉讼的影响程度因辖区而异。

乔治王子县检察官办公室发言人表示，检察官已发现证人缺席的情况。

“在乔治王子县，我们也观察到类似问题，受害者和证人更不愿报案或出庭作证，”该发言人说，“我们仍鼓励任何受害者或目击者挺身而出。我们已看到犯罪者因此被追究责任。”

巴尔的摩县检察官安妮·斯卡林达加（Anne Skalindengar）表示，其办公室已多次遇到证人因移民问题缺席的情况，并称若情况持续，他不会感到意外。

该州另一位检察官安妮·奥尔德·拉顿（Anne Old Latton）表示，其办公室已收到居民对移民执法的担忧，但

“我们的职责是伸张正义，而没有受害者和证人的合作，我们无法做到这一点。”

——巴尔的摩市检察官 琼·贝茨（Jean Bates）

![J. Bates / AP](

)

贝茨于2013年出席新闻发布会。

尚未发现这些担忧（已导致出庭参与度下降）。

“虽然我们收到了更多来自担心美国可能采取行动的人的询问，但我们尚未看到这对受害者和证人参与法院程序造成影响，”拉顿表示。

“为了让司法系统正常运转并将犯罪分子绳之以法，我们依赖于所有受害者和证人的证词，无论其移民身份如何。我有信心，州、县和地方执法机构将继续确保我们社区的所有成员在报告犯罪活动和出庭时感到安全。”

霍华德县检察官办公室表示，无法确定移民执法是否影响了检察工作，因为其并未系统跟踪受害者或证人未出庭的原因。

政策变化与执法升级

检察官的表态出现在联邦移民执法政策发生更广泛变化之际。

自2015年起，特朗普政府放宽了对法院内移民执法的限制，并采纳了新指导方针，允许在特定情况下对在法院内的非法移民进行民事执法。

在被问及置评时，美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）官员援引了该机构的政策、职权和预算，称虽然法院执法行动通常针对特定目标人员，但在行动中遇到的其他人——包括出庭作证的证人——“可能在具体情况评估后，基于案件合理性，面临民事移民执法行动”。

该指导方针还要求执法人员在可行的情况下尽量减少对法院程序的干扰。

这些政策变化伴随着马里兰州移民逮捕数量的大幅上升。

根据“新城堡移民权益保护工作组”的数据，ICE在2012年1月至2016年3月期间在全州共逮捕了4,200人，较同期的1,040人增长了237%。1.4 亿（$10）的逮捕发生在监狱和拘留所之外，约72%的非拘留所逮捕在该州并无犯罪定罪或未决刑事指控。

该工作组得出结论，加强移民执法已导致部分移民不敢报案或配合刑事调查和起诉，并警告称“确保受害者能够安全报案有助于追究犯罪者责任，让社区更安全”。

法庭内外的担忧

贝茨表示，他无法确定是否存在犯罪本身被低报的情况，因为警方而非检察官负责接收报案。

不过，他表示，部分移民“对联系执法机构持谨慎态度是可以理解的，因为他们了解近期移民执法的相关情况”。

他称，巴尔的摩市检察官办公室已要求其员工加强与受害者和证人服务部门的协调，帮助他们在刑事司法系统中获得支持。

“我们的职责是追求正义，而没有受害者和证人的配合，我们无法做到这一点，”贝茨说。

巴尔的摩市法院书记员办公室还表示，已采取措施“确保移民执法行动不会干扰法庭内的司法程序正常进行”。

巴尔的摩市法院书记员萨姆·克拉克曾表示，ICE探员不得在该市巡回法院内执行逮捕或进入安全区域，除非持有联邦司法令状，并强调“法院应保持安全、中立的场所，让人们能够参与法律程序”。倡导者和服务提供者则表示，这种恐惧已超出刑事起诉范围。

“恐惧和不安已在各客户群体中蔓延，”埃斯佩兰萨中心法律服务部前律师詹姆斯·奥尔曼表示。“我们看到执法力度不断加大。许多长期客户因担忧而不敢前来，其中不乏没有犯罪记录的普通成员。”

We Are CAAA的服务主管安娜·普林庞表示，工人越来越不敢维护自身权益。

“雇主会威胁那些试图维权的工人：‘如果你再这样，停止测试她，我就打电话给ICR把你抓走，’”普林庞说。“越来越多的工人因担心无法被移交给ICR而不敢主张自己的权利。”

对贝茨而言，这一问题已超出单一起诉案件的范畴。

“我们的首要任务是确保受害者和证人感到足够安全，敢于站出来报案并侦讯如实作证，”他说。“当人们因恐惧而不敢参与司法程序时，法律就无法发挥应有的作用，犯罪者也难以被追究责任，最终将导致巴尔的摩的每个社区都变得更不安全。”

保险公路安全研究所（IIHS）统计服务主任埃里克·特奥（Eric Teoh）表示，头盔法是当前的测试实践标准，他专门研究摩托车安全。

“削弱这一要求将导致更多人丧生，”他说。

该法案出台之际，正值华盛顿特区交通政策的关键期限——共和党议员自7月以来一直试图通过法案吸引摩托车骑手群体。肯塔基州共和党众议员詹姆斯·格兰特（James Grant）提出了一项法案，要求华盛顿特区议员在采取降低税费的措施前需获得国会批准，这被视为近年来对该市自治权最严重的威胁之一。

今年上半年，华盛顿特区的交通死亡人数较去年同期增长了一倍多。根据特区交通局（DDOT）的数据，这一增长部分归因于当地摩托车事故的增加。

该法案获得支持的理由是“摩托车运行需求更高，且在事故中提供的保护有限”。DDOT在上月的一份声明中表示。针对该法案，该机构表示，头盔要求“旨在保护道路使用者，降低重伤风险”。

截至目前，2024年已有6人在华盛顿特区的摩托车事故中丧生，而2024年同期仅1人，2024年全年则为10人。自2024, 至少47人在摩托车事故中丧生（数据未说明骑手是否佩戴头盔）。

特区议会交通委员会主席、第6选区民主党议员查尔斯·艾伦（Charles Allen）称该法案是“一项隐蔽且不负责任的提案”。

“一位来自威斯康星州的国会议员无法为其选民提供更实惠的住房（4,000套）或改善生活，却花时间为华盛顿特区的摩托车骑手制定头盔法。我认为他们本可以做得更好。”艾伦在声明中表示。

D.C.家庭交通安全指导委员会成员贾斯汀·邓贝尔（Just Dumbell）表示，她怀疑该法案能否通过，但担心这“只是共和党议员杰克逊（D.）和特区市长推动的一系列法案中的一部分”。

摩托车因其速度和隐含的自由精神深受车主喜爱，但其危险性远高于汽车。2023, 美国交通部估计，按行驶里程计算，当年摩托车死亡人数是汽车的近28倍。

根据联邦数据，2024, 6,239名摩托车骑手在事故中丧生。这些死亡人数占当年所有机动车事故死亡人数的10%，较2007年增长约1%。

2000年代，联邦政府曾要求各州实施全民头盔法，以获得特定的公路安全资金。据政府公路安全协会称，到1975, 美国前三分之二的州已实施全民头盔法，倡导者称这挽救了生命。然而，1976, 国会撤销了对不实施头盔法的州的处罚权后，部分州开始弱化头盔法，仅适用于年轻或新手骑手。

在威斯康星州和蒙大拿州，17岁以下骑手骑行摩托车时必须佩戴头盔。

范·德里埃斯的发言人金（Kim）表示，范·德里埃斯认为“摩托车是自由的象征”。

“这是为自由驰骋付出的沉重代价

在你的发间。”

埃里克·特奥（Eric Teoh），美国公路安全保险协会高级专业服务人员。

联邦政府曾试图通过《公路安全法》加强相关要求，该法案可追溯至《公路安全法》，并利用公路资金作为杠杆，推动各州实施头盔法规，”金（Kim）说道。“这是他直接从骑行者和摩托车行业从业者那里听到的问题。”

该市办公室未回应置评请求。

根据该州数据，2024年威斯康星州共有312名摩托车骑手死亡，2,642人受伤，涉及2,168起摩托车事故。同年，蒙大拿州发生了45起致命摩托车事故，联邦数据显示。

根据联邦安全数据，2023年，在未实施全面头盔法的州，61%的死亡摩托车骑手未佩戴头盔；而在实施强制法规的州，这一比例仅为10%。

一些摩托车骑手强烈认为应有权自行决定是否佩戴头盔，摩托车安全研究员特克（Tech）表示。

“我们还需要权衡这意味着什么代价，”特克补充道，“这种自由——让风吹拂在发间的自由——所付出的代价极其惨痛。”

Trump was on secret flight amid Iran threat

His departure from NATO summit in Turkey included a complex rune

BY DAN LAMOTEK, FORD DESSON, ANDREW KLTEKE AND JOYCE SOMYUN LEE

An Iranian assassination threat against President Donald Trump prompted an extraordinary operation last month in which he flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate military aircraft while the White House said he was aboard Air Force One. The Washington Post has learned.

The clandestine mission, which has not been reported previously, was carried out radio-knowing to journalists and some White House staff members who believed they were on the same plane as the president, according to material reviewed by The Post, a U.S. official familiar with the operation and another person with knowledge of the president's travel. These people spoke on the condition of uncertainty because they were not authorized to talk about the matter.

The administration has claimed that Trump departed Turkey on July 4 on the former Air Force One. Trump announced an aerial media that he would use the 'former Air Force One' rather than the plane that they had been a survey during 2024-25. The United States by Qatar. The security of the Qa-

Businesses scramble to contain hacks by AI

Revelations of malicious acts lead to renewed calls for scrutiny, regulation

BY GERRY DE VYNEK

SIRI PRANTISUN — Staff members at ChatGPT maker OpenAI didn't notice for weeks after their AI systems made a chilling loop this spring.

Airlines or answering questions designed to test their cybersecurity capabilities, a group of AI models began colluding on how to check the company and, setting up a secret internal message board where they swapped notes and ideas.

The misbehaving tests used the secret forum throughout May and June, OpenAI said, eventually figuring out how to break out and access the Internet. After staff members spotted the escape and showed up the compromised system, the AI agents staged another undetected breakout two days later.

Only after the rogue models backed into the network of another AI lens last month did OpenAI staff members shut them down.

The details of how OpenAI repeatedly had control of its AI technology, disclosed by the company of a computer security conference in Las Vegas on

Plan upends schedule for children's vaccines

Trump's order cuts number of shots, revisits decades of guidance

BY DAN DIAMOND, LENA H. SIX AND RACHEL REVEEN

President Donald Trump on Monday made his most significant attempt yet to reshape how Americans vaccinate their children, signing an executive order that called for cutting the number of recommended childhood vaccines, spacing out those shots and making other changes that would speed decades of federal guidance.

Speaking in the Oval Office, the president reiterated his

long-held claim that childhood vaccines have led to a rise in U.S. asthma cases, an idea that outside researchers have been defended. Trump also moved on the current number of childhood vaccines and said reducing their frequency was 'common sense.'

'Large amounts — like cuts — of vaccine are currently pumped into your child's body,' Trump said in the Oval Office, thanked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other administration officials.

In reality, the volume in most vaccines is about half a oz — roughly one-tenth of a teaspoon of liquid, said Andrew Barton, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The president's plan was immediately criticized by scientists, physicians, Democrats and some

U.S. water systems are especially vulnerable

Spate of intrusions believed to be work of Iranian hackers

BY ELLEN TAKASHIMA AND AON B WANG

In late 2022, Microsoft detected the hack of a water system in Guam. One U.S. intelligence agrimore in the following months determined was orchestrated by China. The idea wasn't new. The spy agencies had long watched as Iran targeted Israeli water systems.

'That another nation state was doing it to us — that was smoothing,' recalled one former U.S. official, who, like several others interviewed for this story,

spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter's sensitivity.

Senior U.S. officials were concerned that such intrusions could affect military bases on Guam, but also civilian water supplies, many of which were poorly protected against hacks.

The Biden administration, alarmed by the spring 2023 interviewer attack on Colonial Pipeline, had already moved to regulate pipelines and then call roads.

Now it wanted to move on water.

In March 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a memo to require that states work with local officials to spot weaknesses in water systems that hackers could exploit, and then develop plans to remediate

Path to control Congress muddied

UPSETS, SCANDALS INJECT UNCERTAINTY

Stakes are high for Trump in November midterms

BY BAAZ ARUNDOR, FRANKLIN BOGALOUNGAAN AND THEODORE MEYER

The final stretch of primary causes has scrambled the battle for Congress, as scandals, emergent victories and voter rejection of party leaders' preferred candidates to change a small but critical set of races.

Democratic path to a Senate majority narrowed with the triumph of progressive immigrant media. Enlarged on Michigan, whom polls show faring worse against former Rep. Mike Rogers (R) than his primary rival. Republicans suffered their own setbacks as a Trump-ordered congressional candidate in Michigan had to a rival who had suspended his campaign, while misconduct allegations drove a vulnerable world. Carolina incumbent from the race.

Republicans are eager to face several Democrats they believe are too fat left for their party. The whole Democratic are now opening where GOP candidates have suffered from controversies. With control of Congress potentially turning on a humble or well-ordered party, the feeling of derisbat candidates will matter as much as the political terrain — though operative? Judgments about chastelists often prove wrong.

'It's really hard to tell you what the board's going to be like,' said Democratic strategist Andrew Arents, noting that unconsolidated terror among grassroots organizers has made propagandizing hacks for consultants and pollsters, and scandals are adding more volatility.

For Trump, the major escalator for late of his policy agenda for the rest of his term, as well as burdensome oversight and possibly a third impositionist. But he has taken a hands-off approach to the midterms, frustrating some Republicans who want him to help mobilize his supporters and dig into his super PAC's

Migrants line up to receive food last week in Crete, Spain.

Spanish migration chaos raises questions

High number of people entering on a single day draws suspicions that the movement was orchestrated

BY ARTHMORE FAUCAL, ELLEN FRANCIS, PAULA FRAN LEWIS AND RACHEL REVE

ROME — When more than 70,000 migrants rushed onto a Spanish cruiser on the North of Asian coast, the crisis followed a familiar pattern: desperate people being used for political purposes.

It is not yet clear how no many people spontaneously breached the border late last month and crossed into Crete, a long Spanish territory surrounded by Morocco and the sea, and the crisis may not be over.

Mysterous social media posts are raging another push on Aug. 15.

The sinusoidly high number of people crossing on a single

day raised suspicion that the incident was orchestrated. Some politicians in Spain have pointed a finger at Morocco and at Israel. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Amolito is a three critic of Israel's war in Gaza.

'First ray that even if the rush on Crete was an organic movement sparked by social media — as some have suggested — the Moroccan government may have calculated that it suited its purposes to allow the incident to unfold.'

'It seems as though there is an open door and that anyone wanting to put pressure on us can use migration as a geopolitical weapon,' Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever, a conservator, said last week after the Crete infirm. 'It is clear that Europe must

Uncertainty, Ifth-hour upsets muddy the race to control Congress

PREPARED FROM A2

$400 million war chest.

"I said to somebody, 'Wait a minute, you don't understand — I won. I'm not campaigning.' Trump said in an interview with President Newt released Friday 'If I don't run, we will those people go out and vote' ... Because a lot of them are very angry at Republican."

Senate candidates scramble the usual map

To win the Senate, Democrats need to defend their seats in Michigan and Georgia, pick up North Carolina and Maine, plus win in two more states that Trump won by more than 10 points in 2024 — a tall order even in a year expected to favor them.

The latest polls show how individual candidates can defy a state's typical partisan makeup. Democrats are currently leading in red states like Ohio, Iowa and Texas by more than in left-biasing Michigan or Maine.

Without Michigan, Democrats would have to win in a third state that Trump won by at least 10 points in 2024. Polls showed Rep. Halsey Stevens (D-Michigan), who was endorsed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-Neville), losing at least slightly better against Rogers than El-Sayed. But he edged her out in last week's primary by about one percentage point.

"There's a serious distinction, a big difference between somebody like Halsey Stevens, who has for-left positions — and we would hammer her over day and litigate those positions — and somebody like Abdul," said Alex Latcham, who runs Senate Leadership Fund, the flagship Republican super PAE in Senate race.

Schumer, who spoke to El-Sayed on Wednesday, said in an interview that he was confident Democrats would hold Michigan. No Republicans but won a Senate race there in more than three decades, and Trump is not popular there.

El-Sayed just needs to "keep talking about jobs, talking about lower costs, talking about corruption — the same things that our candidates talk about across the country," Schumer said.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton beat incumbent Sen. John Comms over the direction of GOP leaders and now trails Democratic state Rep. James Tolarino to meet polls.

In Maine, establishment favorite Gov. Janet Mills stalled out against Giuliana Paltzer, who later withdrew amid sexual assault obligations. The Democratic now nominee, Tees Jackson, is in a tight race against five-term incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R).

Republicans had already largely written off Georgia after noumulative challenges to Sen. Jon Oswoll (D) emerged. Their nominee, Rep. Mike Collins, needs to 12 points in a Fox News poll conducted in late June and came up for further pressure after CNN reported that his five-to-one-in-law shared with the Democrat and new-than-patient online.

Collins discovered those views but did not distance himself from his own-in-law. The campaigning leaders saw remains competitive by pointing to 840 million commitments from outside groups to help Collins.

Political aspects and the state media were laughingly wrong — just this week — about the competitiveness of the Senate primary in Michigan," Collins spokesman Collins. Bowen and Mike Collins will beat Jon Oswoll in November, and the media will once again be left wondering how they got it so wrong.

The primary calendar could still reshape another Senate race. Alaska generally votes Republican, but Sen. Dan Sullivan faces a competitive race against former Rep. Mary Pelosi (D), so Republicans are hoping a second candidate named Dan Sullivan does not make the top four and advance to the November ballot, where he could confuse voters and siphon off votes from the incumbent.

House primaries create openings for both parties

While midfielens are historically tough on the sitting, president's party, Republicans moved the House map in their face. In gerrymandering additional states to eliminate blue seats and narrow the competitive field to only a couple-doors. Absentee Democrats are hoping Trump's unpopularity can push them deeper into red territory.

The Senate needs in Michigan immediately spilled into House races. Trump and other Republicans immediately moved to cast El-Sayed as a new party stan-

People cheer last week at a watch party in Detroit as election results come in for Abdul El-Sayed, seen below right, who won the Democratic primary in an upset. However, polls show him faring worse against House representative Mike Rogers (R) in November.

dard-beaver, seeking to make his progressive positions a drag on the entire Democratic ticket.

Michigan Democrats proved that their party has been completely taken over for the radical socialist left," Rep. Bill Himmings (R-Michigan) said in response to last week's results, linking El-Sayed with his own Democratic challenges, Sean McGinn.

The controversy around El-Sayed may have also hurt the Trump-midwest candidate in Michigan's 9th Congressional District, state Human. Republicans operatives said voters may have confused him with controversial probamer Hassey Fiker, who campaigned with El-Sayed.

Hassen, but last week's primary to a Republican named Tom Smith, who raised almost no money and suspended the campaign last month. In loss of a campaign, finance report, he sent the Federal Election Commission a handwritten letter.

Smith acknowledged his race got far less attention than the Senate contest and said his win surprised him, too. In a statement Friday, he echoed national GOP attacks on left-biasing candidates, saying he and Trump-aligned Michigan Republicans would be a fool to the "failed socialist policies" of progressive like El-Sayed.

Incumbent Rep. Kristen McDonald Knot's (D) campaign manager, Bobbie Bennett, said the campaign didn't see either Republican as harder to run against. The Cook Political Report raise the race as leaning Democratic.

Voters also rejected Trump's endorsement in Tennessee by ousting incumbent Rep. Andy Ogles (MI), national Republicans did not run his roughly stepsout loss to Charlie Gardner on Thursday, since Ogles had hired ethics investigations and raised less money than Democrat Chad Mokler. Ogles lost much of his incumbent's advantage when Republicanish's rethinking replaced about 60 percent of the district's voters as part of an effort to eliminate a Democrat—a bold Black-magnetic seat.

Trump endorsed Mokler on Friday, saying he had stuck with

have suffered from controversies.

Ogles "even though he had virtually no chance of winning."

Elsewhere, both parties seized on primary results they argued had strengthened their prospects in competitive House races' Republicans' election when national Democrats lost their preferred candidates in California's 22nd District, where Senate Sanders endorsed Randy Villegas will take on incumbent Rep. David G. Valados, and Arizona's 1st District, where Adriel 2016 nominee Amish Shah beat on Republican Marlene Gable. Woods to take on Trump-midwest Joe Peele.

Democrats also acknowledged

a tougher road against Rep. Tom Barrett (R-Michigan) with their nomination of William Lawrence a progressive activist who co-founded the Senator Movement "Even Democrats admit that Senator William Lawrence is too extensive for Mish-Michigan and that he will be rejected this fall," National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Zach Runyon said Thursday.

A few consequential House primaries remain. In Florida's primary on Aug. 16, some House Republicans, who were in a challenge to Rep. Cory Mills (R), whom they view as unusually

vulnerable and a House Ethics investigation and assault allegation.

Democrats see several Republican-held seats becoming more competitive because of scandals or candidate's vulnerabilities. Rep. Max Miller (D-Ohio) have present to resign over domestic abuse allegations, and Rep. Chuck Edwards (D-North Carolina) dropped his reelection bid after the Ethics Committee found inappropriate conduct toward female staff. Rep. Tom Knox Jr. (R-Nev. Iowa), also drew criticism for missing almost four months of votes while struggling with depression. Cook rates Knox's race a loss up; Rep. Rob Bronstein (R-Philadelphia), running in another loss-up district, is facing scrutiny over extensive stock trading after campaigning on banning the practice among lawsuits. No Democrats are also bullish about Reginaly Tisack's 21st District after Tony Gonzales admitted to an affair and resigned. The replacement Republican nominee, Brandon Herrera, known on YouTube as "The AK King" have has no more attorney. Katy Padilla Scott.

The odds of Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) hanging onto her seat, after Republican redows her district to favor them, improved in Democrats' eyes when the GOP noninjustice went to former state Rep. Derek Norris, whom she beat in 2014.

Staffers of candidates who defeated national Democrats' preferred committees dismissed destabilize concerns and pointed to the state post-election support of the party's House campaign area, a typical practice. In Maine's 2nd Congressional District, state Auditor Matthew Dunlap defeated state Sen. Joe Bacheel, whom the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had included in its "Red to Blue" program. Since the primary, Dunlap's campaign can hold working relationships with the national group, spokesperson Matt Hardman said.

"It's going to be a difficult race, everyone knows that, but we feel like we're on a good path," Hardman said.

Russell Fry, left, who was backed by Donald Trump when he first run for his congressional seat in 2022 but not in this year's Senate primary, said Trump's endorsement is "the gold standard."

A twist in the race for Graham's seat: No clear Trump-aligned candidate

BY NATHAN MALDON

COLUMBIA, A.C. — The contest to succeed Lindsey Graham, complete with a crowded field of Republican, offers a race dynamic for a red-state primary in the age of President Donald Trump. There's no clear Trump-aligned candidate.

Trump is trying to rally his supporters behind Graham's sister, Ben. Pauline Graham, a candidate who many conservative activists say doesn't have a history of being active in his movement.

And such of the main contenders has found themselves out of step with the president of some point — an awkward dilemma that has made his influence in Tuesday's election less firm than usual. Adding to the uncertainty Trump's endorsement failed here just two months ago, in the June primary for governor, in which he had to issue a last minute dual endorsement to avoid an embarrassing law.

The two candidates who pledge the most loyalty to Trump have personal voting records that complicate their pro-Trump credentials. Pauline Graham, who was sworn in last month to finish the remaining months of her brother's term, didn't vote in his 1956 presidential primary or the 2016 general election, according to state voting records reviewed by The Washington Post.

The candidate Trump almost endorsed, Rep. Russell Fry, also didn't cast a ballot in the 2018 presidential primary, state records show, although Fry publicly backed Trump ahead of the voting. In the current race, Fry was summoned by Trump's endorsement of Graham, choosing to proceed with his own campaign. A spokesperson for Fry said he voted in the February 2020 presidential primary but declined to provide proof.

Another top contender in the race, Rep. Ralph Norman, endorsed Trump's primary rival Nikki Hales in 2024, the only House member to do so. A fourth candidate, former governor Mark Sanford, was a Trump critic during his final years in Congress, ran against Trump for president in 2020 and disagrees with the president on the loan war and more.

Tensile's primary is all but certain to result in a runoff, with none of the candidates likely to be obtain 50 percent of the vote. Pauline Graham has an advantage in most polls, but not large enough to avoid a runoff.

In recent days, a super PAC supporting Graham has attacked Fry and Sanford, a sign of the tight margins in the abbreviated primary campaign. Notices Republican operatives and conse-

vative activists in the state say the unusual nature of the special election — being held exactly a month after Lindsey Graham unexpectedly died — means any of the four top contenders could make the runoff, which would be held flag. Jill

In events over the past few days, each has tried to define their conservative platform. Overall, the candidates have insisted that their party's voters are looking for more than just Trump's input.

On Thursday, holding a pair of squealing pigs named Debt and Debate outside the South Carolina State House, Sanford re-created a 200th news conference he held as governor long before Trump was on the political stage. Sanford once again railed against bloated government spending — and, when asked, conceded to reporters that spending had only gone up on Trump's watch.

The pigs he previously brought to the Capitol — named "Fork" and "Barrel" — "have gone to public heaven," Sanford said, as Debt smashed his bowels while cradled in the former governor's998. Twenty-two years later, Sanford said, the Republican-controlled federal government is still printing money it doesn't have, and "people are feeling it is a way that they have never left it before."

Norman, in an interview Wednesday, said whoever is elected to a six-year term in the Senate "will be there long after Trump's gone" from Washington.

On the present Trump's policies and will fight to implement them, Norman said.

"But 'He's got a year or two years.'"

Fry, who was backed by Trump when he first ran for his 200-7th South arm—congressional seat in 2022, said The endorsement's the gold standard. He's a good friend, and I've enjoyed working with him."

"Anyone in this race would love to have the endorsement, but people also have to run their own race, too," Fry said.

The candidates, to be sure, have lost themselves closely to Trump when it comes to his current fraction, abolishing the Senate's illiterate to pass the 2-16th America Act, which would impose new federal rules on elections. Except for Sanford, they all back most of Trump's policy positions, as well.

Trump was scheduled to hold a side-sally Monday night to support Graham. A major White House official said last week that there had been no discussions of Trump issuing a dual endorsement in the runoff, as he did in the governor's race when his chosen candidate, Lt.

Mark Sanford with one of the two pigs he brought to a campaign event on Thursday.

If Ralph Norman were to advance to a runoff, he said he's unsure whether Trump would issue a dual endorsement again.

Trump is trying to rally his supporters behind Sen. Pauline Graham, sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Gov. Pam Evette, left behind in polling. Trump ultimately made a second endorsement — of state

Attorney General Alan Wilson, who went on to defeat Evette in the runoff. The White House

official said it's also unclear whether Trump would travel to South Carolina to campaign for Graham in any runoff election.

State party officials expect Tuesday's turnout to be particularly low, drawing only the most die-hard GOP activists — many of whom have expressed skepticism about Graham's conservative bona-fides.

Drew McKinnock, chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, told a crowd of conservatives at the Chathamco Rifle Club on Thursday night that in this election, "personal endorsements are going to matter more than anything else."

"Your personal endorsement, who you are for," McKinnock explained, encouraging those gathered for the candidate forum to take to social media and call their friends to inform them about which candidate they support.

Trump had been prepared to endorse Fry in the special Senate election, according to people with knowledge of the situation, before Graham expressed interest in running for a full term. Asked whether he has spoken to Trump since the primary campaign was underway, Fry said he has the president's cellphone number and "can call him anytime." Proceed on whether he has done so during the wholehead primary, Fry said. "Not yet."

Norman, too, last spoke with Trump at the outset of the race. When Norman called Trump last month to ask for his endorsement, the president quickly got to the point.

"Didn't you analyze: 'Dilap?' Trump asked. Norman replied yes, but said he had called Trump at the time to tell him beforehand.

"I said, 'Look, Mr. President. Lindsey ran against you. He said awful things. I never did that, and I support your policy.'

"Yeah,' he said, 'I know you're a good guy!' Norman recalled the president telling him.

If Norman were to advance to the runoff, he said he's unsure if Trump would issue a dual endorsement again. "I think people see it for what it is," Norman said. "Trouble endorsement, usually, is problematic to me." But, he added, "I'll love to have it at any time."

Lindsey Graham, during his 2016 bid for president, called Trump a "race-hatting, scrupulous, cellphone hype" and a "too man" who would "dortize the party for decades to come" Trump dealt it back to Graham, led the two made up after Trump's election. Graham eventually became one of Trump's most valuable allies in the Senate, despite anepsiloning one to one with him on every issue.

Trump endorsed and helped

Graham raise millions of dollars ahead of his June primary election. Still, Graham was invited to some of Trump's most animated. Which supporters, particularly over his support he foreign aid and intervention.

Sanford is the most out of step with Trump of the major candidates in the race and has had to overcome his own past indiscretions. The then-governor gained national attention in 2019 after he disappeared from the state for a week, before it was revealed that he, then married, had traveled to Argentina to visit his mariner. He told staff he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

In interviews with Republican voters last week, however, only a couple brought up the scandal unprompted. Sanford told reporters, when asked, that he had gained "humility" and "empathy" from the experience.

Last year, Sanford was accused by a PC-based political journalist of having a sexual relationship with the man's then-gathered, another political journalist, while she reported on his 2020 presidential campaign. Sanford told The New Rockefeller was false but declined to elaborate or comment on it otherwise.

Asked whether his focus on local responsibility was out of step with Republican priorities under Trump, Sanford, in an interview, denied himself to Chris Martin, the lead singer from the British rock band Colgate. The band got its start playing in small polls before they became a global sensation, he noted.

"There are certain songs you've just got to sing in life, and there'll be an audience so there won't be an audience. But if that song is strong enough inside you, you just got to sing," Sanford said, adding that local responsibility "is a song I've sung for a long time."

Graham did not attend the forum in Charleston Thursday, citing Senate business in Washington. She has taken part in fewer campaign events in the state than her competitors. She attended a Saturday forum also sponsored by the state GOP, advising after working through the night in the Senate.

"What I'm hearing is, people are like, 'The election's on Tuesday and I still don't know who I'm voting for.' I've found that more than anything, because they're so impressed with many of these candidates," Wilson, the state's attorney general and Republican nominee for governor, told The Post.

"While they love this president and they're supportive of the president, they want a candidate who can stand on their own two feet."

GOP lawmakers release Faucils texts discussing covid vaccine, pregnancy

Messages appear to show disarmament of safety for those respecting a baby

BY ANNA LISS-ROY AND RACHEL BOUBLIN

Two Republican nominee on Monday refused the first for a tract of lost messages from Anthony S. Faucils former government officials, including a discussion with health officials about whether the covid vaccine should a risk for pregnant women.

The messages were released by from Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) and Paul Paul (K-Kennedy) who refused public investigation. Faucils, the longtime intervenor-disease scientist who left government at the end of 2021 after becoming a public health officer who was lead the pandemic response.

The tests appear to show an exchange between Faucils and the health officials in January 2020, instead of the latest 5-year covid19 vaccine for pregnant women.

In one message, according to committee the nominee re-

leased, Faucils wrote: 'Since many people have significant children among and fever after the 2nd day, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st semester.'

Definitely a third point, esp after their two 'Best-Citizen for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky responded.

In a news release, the nominee pointed to several subsequent public statements from Faucils and other administrative officials in which they said the benefits of pregnant women getting vaccinated pregnant to outweigh the risks.

In February 2021, for instance, Faucils and the Food and Drug Administration has 'found, thus far - and we've got to be careful - what these far, far, and dags about that, about pregnant women.'

Some of the statements cited by Johnson and Paul occurred after the CDC officially recommended pregnant women per the vaccine in August 2021, citing an agency analysis that found no increase in miscarriage in pregnant women.

In a statement, Johnson said the release of the tests 'could have an immediate impact on public health.' He added that 'two don't wait a day, months, or

years, to inform the public of personal dangers.'

The CDC states that with more than a million pregnant women vaccinated globally, studies have not shown increased risk for complications like miscarriage, preterm delivery and more. Health officials have said each past exchange reflect the revolving nature of the science and debate at the time.

Faucils declined to comment on the released message. Walensky and Virek H. Murthy, at the time a member of President Joe Biden's covid advocacy board who was also included in the tests, did not respond to a request for comment.

Pregnant women are historically excluded from clinical trials, including those for the coronavirus vaccine. But it became clear that contracting the virus during pregnancy could be associated with increased risk of preterm birth and other adverse outcomes, and so health officials concluded that the benefits of vaccination appeared to outweigh the risks, according to a former public health official who spoke on the condition of asymmetry to speak candidly.

The nominee said the tests are among more than 34,000 recovered from a copy of Faucils for

mer offense. It also contains 222 recovered, they said, the phone was released from the Department of Health and Disease Services, now led by fellow Faucils critics, including Health Secretary Robert P. Kennedy Jr.

'Now that we have the documents and Faucils' government-issued phone, my investigation has only just begun,' Johnson, the chairman of the Research permanent subcom, writes on investigations, wrote Monday on social media.

As part of Faucils investigation of Faucils' 2009 also turned over some of Faucils' personal diary entries that were collected from government servers.

Last week, a Senate committee that Paul chairs voted along pro-Viševoa Gold Fund in transcript of Congress after he declined to answer its questions and an event Feel of trying to wrongly string him. The Justice Department, which is not obligated to prosecute the Faucils' received Faucils letter claiming the matter has did not confirm whether it planned to pursue any criminal charges.

In April 2021, a New England Journal of Medicine article written by CDC officials stated that preliminary findings 'did not show obvious safety signals'

among pregnant women who received the vaccine - sweating these wasn't an unusual number of adverse events - but added that more follow up was needed.

'Our societies (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine) were strongly recommending and advocating for pregnant women to have access to covid vaccines at the earliest stages of the pandemic because those of us who were dealing with covid in pregnancy were using nonstimulating drugs and complications,' said Neil S. Silverman, a member of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's Infectious Disease and Emerging Threats Committee and maternal-fetal medicine faculty at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

Faucils has faced numerous legal threats from Republican, including Fed and Johnson, who caused him of sweating up his agency's funding of risks corresponding to the war, and the decision of the committee to take action against the medical industry.

The president interested his long-held claim that childhood vaccines have led to a rise in US, unless there are also that viruses researchers have largely defended.

prominent anti-vaccine group, but who no employees critic of an RFA-based shots, and once called the coronavirus state 'the deadliest vaccine ever made.' Medical experts say covid19 vaccines are effective at protecting public from getting seriously ill being hospitalized and dying.

Last year, Kennedy sought to no longer recommend the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said it was 'convinced' and 'certainly disappointed' by the move, and the medical society has continued to support the new group's new program.

The Medical President Donald Trump signed an executive order that called for setting the issue of the coronavirus's childhood vaccines, spacing out those shots and taking other charges that would speed decades of federal guidance on vaccines for children.

Trump loyalist is nominated to be inspector general at Interior Department

Move raises concerns about possible review of Reflecting Pool renovation

President Donald Trump nominated Project 2021 author and former political agrarian Dennis Kirk to lead the Interior Department's inspector general office, raising concerns about the independence of the watchdog that has been added to review the troubled Reflecting Pool renovation.

Kirk, who was nominated Friday, previously had been working within the office of the inspector general of the intelligence community while serving as an attorney to then Director of National Intelligence Club (default as of last year).

Management and was nominated to serve as chairman of the Merit Systems Protection Board, though he faced steep opposition from unions that said he lacked experience, and his nomination was withdrawn by President in the House.

Mark Lee Greenbelt, a former Interior Department inspector general who was fired

until Trump's purge of inspector general with last year, called on the thanks to report Kirk's nomination. Greenbelt, who was nominated by Trump in his first term, said Kirk's involvement would damage the credibility of the effect investigations amid controversy related to reconfliberging and child misinhibition's opinions to speaking out.

'This is particularly thought of, and with respect to the Interior Department as light of the very public allegation that are being eroded regarding the Reflecting Pool and the anti-Greenbelt suit to an interview, referring to the monument Trump wants to build near Arlington National Cemetery,' it would think that the White House and President Trump would want an independent review, an independent error in that position, because otherwise these reports won't have credibility.

The Center for Western Priorities, a conservative advocacy organization, also condemned Kirk's role and called on Congress to see the effect of the U.S. to compel records after Politics reported that Interior Department studies had routinely discredited documents and used documents to support hearings.

STATE DEPARTMENT 175,000 visas revoked in Trump's 2nd term

The State Department has revoked more than 175,000 visas since President Donald Trump took office last year, including shipping travel documents from the state's charged with crimes, the department said Monday.

• Another group request for reservations are those who celebrated the killing of one of the 175,000 visas revoked according to the department. And Secretary of State Marcia Rubin personally made determinations to revoke visas of Cuban and Iranian individuals with ties to their governments.

The Trump administration has taken an aggressive approach to visa enforcement, at least in the United States, for foreign visa holders and human

rights groups that the actions were unfounded or politically motivated.

For example, headed federal immigration agents grabbed Tishu University student Ramey, who was a member of a branch 2020 after the administration, accused her of suggesting the Palestinian militant group 'Danaa and revealed her visa. A federal judge also ordered her release from detention, saying there was no evidence she posed a danger.

State Department officials also made a string to defend U.S. foreign policy interests and national security. The Department announced its January that it had revoked 250,000 visas. The United States has also increased from an average of 6,000 re-enactment per month to 30,000 based on the new figures.

Medical experts say new guidance will create confusion for parents, doctors

VACCINES (TO US A)

congressional Republicans, who said the order was dangerous and warned that it could lead to fewer children receiving vaccines against preventable diseases.

They also said that Trump's comments were unsecurable and leaned on discredited theories.

The order puts new pressure on states, health insurers, pharmaceutical companies and medical professionals to align with the president's approach to vaccines or continue a growing trend to break with federal guidance.

Under Trump's plan, vaccines against 11 diseases — including measles, mumps, rubella, polio and whooping cough — would be recommended for all children, down from 10 diseases under the current childhood vaccine schedule. Trump's order also calls for breaking up the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccines into three separate doses, among other changes intended to space out immunizations.

Trump claimed that his administration's recommendation would not be taken into a relevant administration's decision to one-fifth of the level that they currently receive at a given medical visit. He also said he adopted a similar schedule when vaccinating his own children, even though it meant more trips to medical offices.

"It's inconsistent, it's five steps, but it's something that I think will have a huge impact on autism," the president said.

The order represents Trump's latest attempt to evange long-standing vaccine recommendations, breaking with decades of White House deference to scientific experts and past presidents who celebrated the vaccines have reduced the threat of polio, measles and other diseases that menaced children.

Trump's plans have been halted by some conservative Republicans and supporters of the Make America Healthy Again movement that helped Trump recognize the White House in 2024.

But his vaccine agenda has been broadly passed by Democrats and independent several Senate Republicans and some of the president's own political ad-

visors have urged Trump to abandon his efforts. With how ads found that trust in U.S. health agencies, which declared during the circumstance pandemic, has fallen further under Trump.

Outside medical groups have warned that Trump's changes could backfire by leaving children more exposed to diseases such as measles. Physicians and scientists have said that the single MMR shot is proved to be safe and effective and that breaking it up could leave children vulnerable to dangerous diseases for longer.

"I'm not sure that there is anything that has been so thoroughly looked at as this question about whether or not there is a link between autism and vaccines. And the answer is unequivocally not, and Racism, a pediatrician who has been treating children for more than 40 years.

The order's practical effect is uncertain. Some, rather than the federal government, generally set vaccinations requirements for children attending school. Many states have already said they no longer follow vaccine recommendations from the federal government and instead follow those from the American Academy of Pediatrics and other major medical organizations.

Medical experts, health care organizations, most Democratic officials and some Republicans, however, said that, at minimum, the new White House guidance would create confusion for parents and doctors.

"I'm a doctor. This executive order is wrong," Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Lezabrata), the chairman of the Senate Health Committee, wrote on X. "The President does not have the expertise to make these changes. Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe. Vaccines are effective. Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. Breaking up vaccines will mean children have to get more shots to get the same protection."

Under the order, dubbed "Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations," the White House divides vaccines into three categories and direct federal agencies to take steps to advance them. It also calls for rethinking the long-standing practice of grouping vaccines to reduce the number of medical

appointments parents of small children need to schedule.

Vaccines against several other diseases, including hepatitis A and B and meningococcal disease, would be recommended for certain high-risk groups or through shared decision making between parents and doctors. In Human and circumstance vaccines would also fall into the shared decision-making category.

White House officials told reporters on Monday that they believed health insurers would continue to cover recommended vaccines.

see as handpicked poor nations, and yet those handpicked peers that we should be following give MMR together," said David Higgins, a pediatrician and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado-Andover Medical Campus.

There are also manufacturing and logistical challenges that would come with breaking up the combination shot into its individual components, which are not currently available in the United States. Industry experts have said There's no indication vaccine companies "have any in-

the number of injections for the individual and may result in delayed or missed immunizations."

Breaking up the MMR vaccine could also mean more shots and more trips to the pediatrician for parents trying to keep their children fully vaccinated.

Pressed on his claim on Monday that the current MMR vaccine could be "infrac." Trump admitted that he had no scientific proof for that claim.

"What I'm heard is that there are some people that say it is that way, and I say 'Well, let's say there's a 2 percent chance of it,' let's split it up," Trump said.

Not call to break up the MMR vaccine comes as the United States is experiencing its worst year for measles in 10 years.

Trump has pushed officials to take additional steps to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule, citing the concerns about a doubled link between childhood vaccines and autism. The Washington Post reported last week.

Medical associations and public health advocates and experts have condemned the revisions to the childhood immunizations schedule, arguing they exchange children and are built on faulty assumptions. Comparison to other countries can be misleading because nations differ sharply in population, access to universal health care and disease burden, they note.

In January, the administration moved to reduce the number of vaccines routinely recommended for all children, bypassing the government's traditional process for changing the schedule.

A federal judge in March blocked the administration from implementing those changes, riding with major medical organizations that argued Kennedy had unlawfully changed vaccine policy and improperly reconstituted the federal panel of outside experts that address the government on vaccines.

The order explicitly acknowledged that the administration's earlier vaccine directives have been "delayed due to litigation" and instructs federal agencies to advance the new recommendations "to the fullest extent allowable by law".

Under the order, the White House is calling for proposed changes to some within 60 days

from the health department's Task Force on state childhood Vaccines — a long-dedated panel resurrected last year to the closure of anti-vaccine activists. The task force should "assess the ideal timing and sequencing of all core childhood vaccines" and adjust the childhood schedule "as appropriate," the document says.

It also calls for the development of more alternative adjuvants to abstinence. Adjuvants are ingredients added to vaccines that help the body produce an immune response to other protection from diseases.

Some high-level Food and Drug Administration officials last year believed it would be infeasible to take aluminum adjuvants out of vaccines and couldn't be done on a practical timeline.

The order also advises states to "consider updating relevant laws and regulations," regarding school-nutrition requirements.

Whether states will do so or realize to be seen, several statutes place vaccine recommendations under the authority of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its independent vaccine advisory panel, said Scott Bates, a professor at the University of California College of the Law at San Francisco, whose research focuses on public health law.

"The president can instruct disease consider this, but an R.D. is not a substitute to the congressional process," Bates said.

The order also opens another potential legal front over state-vaccination requirements. It directs the Justice Department to pursue what it calls "narcitousie" legal challenges to state laws involving parental authority and religious and medical occupations. That is likely to create additional confusion over which schedule doctors and families should follow, pediatricians said.

It could also put political pressure on Republican-led states to remove vaccines from school requirements, Bates said.

"Even if that's not legally sound, the potentially chilling ad-hot on states and organizations who deliver vaccines is great," said Higgins, the University of Colorado assistant professor "for read".

"The President does not have the expertise to make these changes. Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe."

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Lezabrata), writing on X

That push to split up the MMR vaccine would diverge from the practices of several peer nations the administration has cited as models for U.S. vaccine policy. Denmark, Australia and Canada administer measles, mumps and rubella immunizations in communism vaccines. Britain this year began replacing the MMR shot with a four-in-one vaccine that also protects against chicken pox.

"The executive order makes the reported argument that the U.S. should align with what I

trend is making the investment or time," Racine told reporters.

In a statement, Merck, one of the manufacturers of the current MMR vaccine, said combination vaccines make children more likely to receive all their recommended shots on schedule.

"To date, there has been no published scientific evidence that shows any benefit in separating the combination MMR vaccine into three individual shots," the company said. "Use of the individual components of combination vaccines increases

Trump picks aide as new top White House lawyer

BY NATALIE ALLISON AND DAN DIAMOND

President Donald Trump has named Will Scharf as the next top White House lawyer, replacing David Warrington, who is "going on to the Private Sector." Trump wrote in a social media post.

The change in the office of White House counsel will take place Sept. 1.

Scharf, currently the White House staff secretary, is perhaps best known as the lawyer frequently standing over Trump's shoulder at the Ovid office, when he signs executive orders and explaining their details.

Before that, Scharf, his was an unsuccessful candidate for

Missouri attorney general in 2024, who also worked as one of Trump's personal lawyers.

I know Will staff He previously represented me in numerous cases, including at the Supreme Court, during the Biden Administration's corrupt and illegal campaign of Wargemization," Trump wrote on his Truth Social website.

Trump added that Warrington did "a truly outstanding job" as counsel.

The change is the latest example of Trump White House staff – many of whom have had longer reasons than aides in Trump's first term – increasing, by leaving the administration in recent months.

Before being brought on at

the White House, Warrington served as Trump's campaign general counsel during the 2024 election, after joining Dalton Law Group, the firm owned by the current Assistant Attorney General Hartnett K. Dildon.

There, he represented controversial Trump after like Michael Flynn and Sebastian Gorka.

Scharf has also served since last year at the chairman of the National Capital Planning Commission, a low-profile federal agency charged by Congress with overseeing federal construction projects in the Washington region.

In that role, Scharf has expedited several of Trump's handpicked projects, including the president's planned White

House ballroom, which the commission approved in April.

Scharf has also sped up the commission's reviews of Trump's planned triumphal arch, which is expected to be approved by the commission at its next public meeting in September.

Trump, who is seeking to complete the projects before he leaves office in January 2026, has cheered the commission's swift approach.

The commission historically has taken much longer to review significant changes in the White House and new monuments around Washington.

In his role as the commission's chairman, Scharf has also argued that the planned 250-foot-arch and other federal

projects should not be subject to a federal law that restricts most construction in Washington to a maximum height of 150 feet,

a position echoed by the Trump administration but opposed to historic preservationists.

RFK Jr. targets loophole that allows food companies to self-certify safety

BY RACHEL ROUBLIN

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday unveiled a plan aimed at tightening a decade-old loophole that has allowed food companies to put certain chemicals in their products without first audifying the nation's food regulators, according to federal health officials.

The practice known as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAI) allows companies to self-certify the safety of certain food chemicals or substances. The Trump administration's new proposed rule would require food companies to notify the Food and Drug Administration when they make such determinations and include the basis for those conclusions.

"Shifting to a mandatory notification system closes a decades-old information gap," Eric Diamantza, the acting FDA commissioner, told reporters Monday. He said the plan "improved transparency" while "respecting the limitations of our authority" adding that officials would work with Congress to further address the loophole.

Companies have not been mandated to tell the FDA when they include some chemicals or substances in their products for uses viewed generally as safe,

though they can opt to do so. That means there are probably hundreds of such ingredients which to the food supply without strict government oversight. Chemicals that have been generally considered safe include those acting as preservatives in some breakfast cereals, emulsifiers in certain ice-creams and salad dressings, and select low-calorie sweeteners that are found in sugar-free desserts and candies. They can often be found in ultra-processed foods that make up more than half of American's diets and which studies have increasingly linked to health problems.

Overhauling the loophole has been part of Kennedy's food agenda as the nation's top health official as well as a priority for the Idaho America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement he champion.

Some food safety and nutrition experts said they welcomed the proposal, referring to it as a long-overlap change. Others said they feared the FDA does not have the resources to review the substances from companies, potentially leading to substances continuing to flood the market without regulation having time to adequately review them.

Melanie Rousch, vice pres-

dent for government affairs for the advocacy nonprofit Environmental Working Group, called the move the "first step toward meaningful reform."

"True GRAI reform requires more than mandatory notification," she said in a statement. "It must also include strong, science-based safety standards and thorough, independent FDA review before chemicals are allowed in our food. And it must address the thousands of substances already on the market that have not been meaningfully reviewed in decades."

In case of Kennedy's firm food-related moves as secretary, he declared an intent for the FDA to "explore potential rulemaking" to tighten the GRAI loophole.

Since 2024, the FDA has been charged with evaluating the safety of new food additives. However, exceptions were made for substances generally deemed safe, such as vinegar, flour and standard spices.

While the specific rules have changed over time, companies are allowed to make their own determinations on whether certain substances are considered safe, which food safety advocates say has been expanded to a variety of ingredients over time, without informing the FDA.

That has become the primary way the majority of substances are entering the nation's food supply. Damantza said:

"Industry hijacked the loophole and drove a cursory of chemical intake through a straight into the American food supply," Kennedy said Monday.

There have been instances when additives included in food through the GRAI loophole had later raised safety concerns, such as taca flour used in a leek-and-lemb crumble that was associated with at least 350 people being sent to the loophole and advancing hundreds of others.

The FDA will review what each company submits within 40 days to ensure all that the relevant information is included. Within 100 days, the agency will review the substances more substantively, Diamantza said.

Under the proposal, companies won't be prohibited from adding the substances to their food while that process is ongoing, and there is no requirement that the FDA must formally approve or review the chemicals, which Diamantza suggested would have required an act of Congress. Kennedy called on Congress to give the FDA more resources "to keep pace with the changing food supply."

For substances already in the

food supply, the FDA is aiming to create a process for companies to submit information about how the chemical is used in food.

Some in the food industry prefer changes to be done through Congress, rather than through regulations. One person involved in the food industry, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid, said the industry has been concerned that it would take time for the FDA to comb through companies' information on potential new substances, adding they believe changes should be done through legislation and come with more funding for the agency.

Americans for Ingredient Transparency, a coalition launched last year backed by the food industry and other lobbying groups, said in a statement that Congress should establish "a transparent, nationally uniform framework for food ingredient oversight."

David Kessler, a former FDA commissioner under both Republican and Democratic presidents, petitioned the FDA last year to revoke the GRAI status of some commonly used ingredients in ultra-processed foods.

Of the announcement Monday, Kessler said that "the proposed GRAI actions do not

tackle the root causes of chronic disease in this country."

The White House's budget office finished reviewing the GRAI proposed regulation on July 21, an indication that a rule would be released for public comment soon. On CNN earlier this month, Kennedy said the proposal would come out "within probably a month," saying it had undergone an "extensive inter-agency process."

Federal officials have also been crafting a definition of "ultra-processed" foods, and as of last week, the White House budget office received for review a white paper on a proposed definition.

This comes as Kennedy, the founder of a prominent anti-vaccine group, has for months been publicly lounging into his work on food and nutrition ahead of the midterm elections and downplaying the push to overhaul vaccine policy.

The MAHA movement was formed after an unlikely political alliance between Kennedy and Trump during the 2024 campaign. It has various factions that defy traditional partisan lines, such as those pushing for changes to the food supply, tighter regulations over pesticides and eliminating vaccine mandates.

Administration takes aim at diversity scholarships site

CareerOneStop is funded and overseen by the Labor Department

BY TODD WALLACK

The Trump administration plans to revamp a federally funded career website that lists hundreds of college scholarships for women and students of color to align it with the president's mission to and diversity, equity and inclusion programs, according to interviews and a public notice.

The website, called CareerOneStop, includes a tool that lets people answer their search for scholarships to certain criteria, including race and sex. In addition, dozens of other scholarships listed on the site are reserved for people with disabilities or those who identify as LGBTQ+ Scholarships on the site appear to be funded largely by an array of private groups, including foundations, associations, federation, unions and other organizations.

The listings present something of a contradiction for the administration, which has been led to minor to eliminate diversity efforts in higher education, while continuing to advertise diversity scholarships on a website it funds and oversees.

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development operates the website for the Labor Department. But the Trump administration told The Washington Post that it plans to end its affiliation with the state in the coming months, bring the website in-house and overhaul the portal.

The Labor Department declined to answer questions about the scholarship listings on the website - which also offers information on careers, job training and employment opportunities. But the White House vowed to make changes to reflect the administration's anti-DEI agenda.

"President Trump was increasingly elected with a close mandate to end division, racial policies and restore merit and

efficiency," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement. "The Department of Labor is bringing this particular program in house to fix its services as this Administration continues to eliminate the DEI policies that can rampant during the Baton Administration."

The plan to change the website follows moves by many colleges, foundations and other organizations to replace scholarship criteria based on race and sex with broader qualifications under pressure from the Trump administration, lawsuits and activists. The National Scholarship Providers Association found that the percentage of scholarships it tracks that had eligibility requirements based on race, ethnicity, gender or other demographic factors has dropped from 11 percent in 2020 to 11 percent in 2026.

Last year, the Education Department opened investigations

Diversity scholarships

The federal CareerOneStop.org website lists thousands of scholarships, fellowships, grants and other financial aid awards. Hundreds are restricted by race, ethnicity or gender.

ROAD AND STANDING

into several universities that offered scholarships to racial minority students, including the

University of Louisville's Dawn Wilson Scholarship for "undergraduate LGBTQ+ students of color" and the Louisville Tango Festival Scholarship for "Latinocics and Hispanic students." A University of Louisville spokesman said the school has addressed the issue and no longer uses race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation as factors to award scholarships.

In addition, the Education Department previously advised colleges that they generally cannot restrict scholarships on the basis of sex, with certain exceptions.

Conservative activists have sued private entities for offering race-based scholarships or filed complaints with the DEI against nonprofits offering such aid, arguing it amounts to racial discrimination that could jeopardize the organization's tax-exempt status or violate laws banning discrimination in contracts. Some funders, however, con-

tend it's important to preserve and advertise financial aid for historically marginalized groups.

The American Indian College Fund, an instance, offers scholarships listed on CareerOneStop for initial members and their descendants.

"It is a good resource and very much needed by prospective and current students," said Cheryl Crary Bull, president of the Denver-based fund. "It needs good maintenance and updating."

Cray Bull said scholarships like those offered by the fund can help people who have historically been underrepresented in higher education. She noted that Native Americans generally come from poorer families with limited resources to pay for college costs.

"Having access to scholarships removes that barrier," she said. Cray Bull also noted that scholarships for Native Americans should have special legal prose-

tion because of treaties and other historical agreements between the U.S. government and tribes.

Though women outnumber men in higher education, some scholarship providers direct awards to women, particularly in fields dominated by men. A smaller number of scholarships on the federal website are aimed at men.

The Labor Department has asked Minnesota for some changes to the website, such as removing the word "diversity" from some pages, but hadn't requested any changes to the scholarship listings, according to the governor's office.

As of Friday, CareerOneStop still featured hundreds of other scholarships with demographic restrictions, including a $30,000 scholarship for female law students of African American descent who either live or study in New Jersey; $16,000. fellowship awards to help racial minority students pursue doctoral degrees in the sciences, and aid for "gig, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Asian and Pacific Islanders" from the San Francisco Bay Area.

At least some of the listings appear to be outdated. For instance, the site lists a Gates Foundation scholarship for minority high school seniors, but the foundation says it opened up the award to low-income students of any race last year.

A spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development said the scholarship data comes from Gale, a vendor that has supplied information for the site for nearly two decades. She said the Labor Department is responsible for the website's content.

The Trump administration also plans to make broader changes to the site.

"While CareerOneStop is widely used and valued, the current experience can be fragmented and difficult to navigate," the administration said in a request for public comment on ways to "modernize" the site. The request for comment does not specifically mention the scholarship directory.

The comment period was to end Monday.

Facing Iranian threat, Trump took a secret flight from Turkey

FLIGHT FROM A3

far-provided aircraft has been called into question, and Trump said last month after the trip that it would undergo additional upgrades.

In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras. He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight, according to the U.S. official and corroborating material reviewed by The Post. That made Air Force One a 'loves' with media and some White House staff aboard, the official said.

Trump had been in Ankara for a NATO summit with world leaders. The operation occurred a night after U.S. forces received military strikes on East at Trump's direction following a breakdown of negotiations between Washington and Tehran to rent their months-long war.

The massacre meant that Trump's actual location was concealed from the American public and many senior U.S. officials for hours. Works later, it remains unclear how widely the administration has disclosed the operation.

The Post provided the White House with the details from its reporting along with a list of questions. In response, White House communications director Revere Cheung issued a statement defending the jet gifted by Qatar.

'The new Air Force One is a state-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the President and his staff,' Cheung's statement said. 'As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their rights on him, and we are every tool at our disposal to address these threats.'

A spokesman for the Pentagon referred questions to the White House. A Secret Service spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

Publicly, the White House has reported its account that the president left Turkey on the legacy blue-and-white Boeing 740 that served as Air Force One before Trump began using the former Qatar jet.

For decades, it has been now for U.S. presidents to travel without members of the White House press corps accompanying them in their roles as proxies for the American public. Journalists have traveled into war zones with numerous presidents, including Trump, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

'As the first house after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 15, 2005, Bush administration officials did not immediately disclose the president's whereabouts, noting that the U.S. was not only an 'undefended location.' But they did not see he was somewhere he was not, and within hours officials revealed that he was being made on military facility in Nebraska.

The Trump operation updated quite differently, highlighting the depth of concern that the country became more than his safety leaving Turkey amid hostilities with Iran. Turkey, a key U.S. ally and member of the NATO military alliance, shares a border with Iran.

A credible threat to Trump, prodding Iran jet the 'disruptive operation' in motion, the U.S. official said. The 'live-in' plane and the 'new' plane are last month that intelligence officials flagged a specific threat of an attack on the president or his jet, triggering additional precautions.

There are decades-old concerns in the U.S. government of Iranian terrorism plots against American officials, including Trump. Turkey's first state of the cannot recently as a result of Washington's role in the killing of Iranian military and political leaders.

The operation, and the Iran air threat, came then after the president began using the new or Boeing 740-6 gifted by Qatar for use as Air Force One. Trump had been taken into the position after the red, white and blue jet underwent supplies costing hundreds of millions of dollars. It was fielded by the Air Force in the first place, and it did not receive countermeasures included in the legacy Air Force One.

To transport the president out of Turkey, U.S. officials visited the United States to inform the United States, canonically become public knowledgeable. One such mission occurred in March 2006, when President Bill Clinton visited Pakistan. With extensive cameras covering in Islamabad, Clinton dis-

embraced from a plain white jet that followed the blue-and-white Air Force One, clattering where he had been.

There have been other times in the last 30 years when Air Force One served as a door for the president because of a serious threat or because he was trying to a dangerous location, another U.S. official said, declining to elaborate. The legacy is a highly secure, but also highly visible, as putting the president on an alternate plane instead can be considered safer, that former official said.

Ronald L. Rowe Jr., a former acting director of the Secret Service, said that the president's protection is paramount and that the details of his movements are shielded for good reason.

'We need to keep the Secret of Secret Service,' said Rowe, now with the Chertoff Group, a security advisory firm. 'The public should know what the president is doing on a daily basis, but when it comes to the methods by which the Secret Service keeps the president safe, that should remain out of public view.'

When Trump first announced that he would leave Turkey on the legacy Air Force One, he toured the decision on social media as an opportunity for U.S. troops stationed in Britain to see the former Qatar aircraft. He would instead take 'the former Air Force One' from Turkey for 'old timers sake,' Trump posted.

'But that did not happen, according to the material reviewed by The Post and the U.S. official. Numerous people participated in the decryption, some unwittingly, and journalists who brought they were traveling with the president aboard the legacy Air Force One were put undated that he had changed aircraft or made aware of the extent of the threat on Air Force One, the U.S. official said.

The new Air Force One jet gifted by Qatar departed Turkey first such in the evening of July 8. Trump then boarded the legacy blue-and-white Air Force

One at dusk, warring goodbye on camera.

To suit that plane without being seen by those uninvolved in the operation, Trump and several aides stopped aboard an airport catering truck, which was removed plane-side using firefauled and positioned at a door on the opposite side of Air Force One entrance, according to the U.S. official and other corroborating material.

Stungers captured by the news media at the Turkish airport shows a staircase on one side of the legacy Air Force One and the catering truck on the other, with its container elevated to the level of the plane. Trump arrived in a limousine, climbed the staircase and waved toward the turban as he boarded, video shows.

A few minutes later, as members of the White House press corps boarded near the back of the plane, a man in a suit entered the catering truck's suit, according to media post video of the departure process. The container was lowered into the bed of the vehicle, which then pulled away from Air Force One and drove to the smaller C-32A nearby, the video appeared above. The truck is out of view for about 40 seconds when the camera pass away and is briefly hidden while behind the C-32A's engines.

The video shows that the container was lifted to the level of the plane for several minutes after the container was lowered, a person in a suit stopped out of the truck's suit, which remained at ground level, and ascended the main loading up to the C-32A, disappearing from the camera's view.

The blue-and-white C-32A, a modified Boeing 707 used to transport U.S. government officials, had been flown to Turkey along with the legacy Air Force One and the former Qatar jet to support the president's visit, the U.S. official said.

transport the president or vice president. But it typically does so with the 'Air Force One' or 'the Force One' call sign, not a manuscript number.

Defense Secretary Pete Baguchi boarded the C-32A separately using external main, part of an attempt to make the flight appear typical, according to the U.S. official and other materials reviewed by The Post. Baguchi flew with Trump to Britain on the same plane. The person said, 'as journalists boarded the legacy Air Force One, White House

'The public should know what the president is doing on a daily basis,

but when it comes to the methods by which the Secret Service keeps the

president safe, that should remain out of public view.'

Ronald L. Rowe Jr., former acting director of the Secret Service

staff, directed them to close their window shades, according to a media post report.

The New York Times reported last month that the former Qatar jet lacks the defensive capabilities of legacy U.S. presidents, that transport jets. That report prompted the Trump administration to take the national step of issuing subpoenas to several journalists in a bid to learn the identities of their confidential sources.

Administration officials said the government's actions against

the New York Times as necessary to investigate a national security breach, while the Times described the move as an effort to avoid transparency, intimidate journalists and scare them to account. The administration later withdrew the subpoenas, acknowledging marriage in the case.

In deflecting criticism of the new jet, the White House also released a statement from the Air Force.

'The aircraft is safe, secure, and equipped with the most advanced Washington necessary to meet requirements of the presidential standard,' the statement said. 'These requirements were carefully crafted to prioritize mission over aesthetics, leaving much of the previous head of state interior layout minimally disrupted.'

'No risk was taken in security, safety, or mission communications, but the collective team made trades on some of the two community used mission sets that Boeing must deliver to support the next 40 years,' the statement added.

Ronald the 740 jumbo jets that carry the president are extremely referred to as 'Air Force One.' the term is technically an air-traffic-control call sign for any plane on which the president is aboard.

In this instance, however, the president's whereabouts were obscured on the C-32A flight to Britain using the predecessor call sign 'Reach IV or 'RUTON', according to a person familiar with the mission and other material reviewed by The Post.

The solution account 'The newsreality' noted the C-32A control in Britain and its call sign, reporting that night that proteins delivering for the aircraft to be easily tracked while in the air had been switched off. 'Reach' call signs are often used for personnel transport flights and those that had military equipment, according those familiar with the mission.

Publicly available flight track

ing data shows that the former Qatar jet due to Britain's Whitehead air base while bearing the call sign 'SAM 10,' using a common abbreviation for 'special air mission.' It landed at Whitehead at 8:30 p.m. local time on July 9, data shows.

The legacy Air Force One plane carrying White House staff and journalists appeared on a fair near Istanbul on its way to Britain, initially with no call sign listed. Despite the president not being aboard, it then took the Air Force One call sign, 'APL,' multilight and arrived at Whitehead about 10:20 p.m. local time, the tracking data shows. A media post report that night said the flight was 'apparently' with 'no violence to the press table.'

No flight tracker data could be found for the C-32A, but videos posted by the YouTube accounts RankUpSolutions and Military Aviation. Disaster plans the former Qatar jet landing, followed by a C-32A home base at about 10:20 p.m. and the legacy Air Force One several minutes later.

Videos show the legacy Air Force One, after landing, coming to a stop in a place where the C-32A had briefly been parked. The ballpoint videos on YouTube do not show Trump exiting the C-32A or entering the legacy Air Force One, as the staircase on time faced away from the plane upshore cameras.

On just clear how Trump moved from the C-32A to the legacy Air Force One after landing, but he appeared before television cameras and descended external main from the legacy Air Force One about 10:06 p.m., according to a media post report.

Afterしいing U.S. service members, the president embarked on the newly gifted Air Force One to travel back to Washington, with staff and press aboard after a transfer from the legacy Air Force One, at about 10:10 p.m. A social media post from the White House, posted that night said that Trump had landed at the British base 'aboard the former Air Force One,' and included a picture of the legacy plane.

Aboard the new Air Force One, Trump spoke to journalists for about 10 minutes, highlighting the threat has been hit out acknowledging the asternlight that had occurred earlier.

Aided who reporters had been instructed to lower the window shades on the plane in Turkey, Trump said that it was 'because, you're probably on a dangerous flight because of the sleep bags that we have to deal with.' Young said that he has a 'threat all the time' against his hit, and that he is 'number one' on front 'live.'

'But if I go you go, flight!' Trump suggested to reporters. 'Perhaps someday you want to change professions.'

Decades after Tupac Shakur's death, a murder trial begins

Former gang leader is accused of orchestrating the 1996 shooting

BY HANNAH KNOWLES

For almost three decades, police said they couldn't solve the killing of rap over Tupac Shakur.

Over a former gang leader, Duane "Kaffe D" Davis, started talking — resuming the drive-by shooting in interviews and a memoir.

Now Davis will stand trial in a high-profile case that has captivated the public. Jury selection is set to begin Monday in Las Vegas, not far from the intersection where Shakur was shot on Sept. 7, 1996. The trial is expected to take several weeks.

Davis has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder and said he was in the car when a backseat passenger opened fire on Shakur. His attorney, through a representative, declined to discuss the case. Authorities across lots of orchestrating the killing, without alleging that he was the gunman. They say the trial might never have happened if not for Davis's own public comments.

Shakur was at the height of his fame when he died at 25, mourned as one of the most influential artists of the era. He had hit the top of the check that year with songs like "California Love."

Speaking at Shakur's posthumous induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, ragyes group drugs — a friend and collaborator of Shakur's — said that "while many remember him now as some kind of thugged-out superhero, Tupac knew he was only human and he represented through his music like no one before."

Davis's what to know about the case and decades-old mystery.

Shakur's death was part of a gang feud

Officials say the shooting arose from a stutter between the two stagewriters, gangs Mob Fats and South Side Compton Crips. Shakur's record label, Death Row Records, was affiliated with Mob Fats, police have said, while Davis was "the leader and shot caller" of the Crips.

Members of both groups were in Las Vegas the day of the shooting to watch loser Mike Troon light at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. After the event, police say, the Death Row Records entourage beat up Davis's nephew.

In his 2015 memoir, Davis recounts that "herald night in Las Vegas, Nevada when Tupac said the crew he chose to run with crossed the line and put their hands and feet on my nephew Babe Lane."

"We couldn't let no record company studio gangsters do so like that," Davis wrote.

Davis wrote that he set out to confront the Death Row Records group, adding that his entourage was prepared "(in) case the diplomatic approach didn't work."

"My crew was the air fire," he wrote. "All my young hunters had already been shot at least once, so that turned them into some stone-cell killers — they had the mentality of, it's either them or me, and it ain't gonna be me."

Rapper Tupac Shakur, seen in 1994, was shot and killed in Las Vegas in September 1996, of the height of his fame when he was 25 years old.

Cadillac with three other men, authorities say, when they found Shakur. Davis had earlier towed a gun into the car's back seat, according to his book.

Shakur was in a black BMW driven by Marion "Roger" Knight, a co-founder of Death Row Records. In Davis's telling, Shakur "made an erratic move" and "pulled out a sting" — slang for drawing a gun.

"[That's] when the fireworks started," Davis wrote. "One of my guns from the back seat grabbed the shock and started toutist back."

Asked decades later in a documentary interview who shot Shakur, Davis declined to give a name while citing "the code of the streets."

Prosecutors will argue at trial that Davis was the ringloader in Shakur's killing. At a news conference announcing charges against Davis in 2013, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said that "if you help somebody commit a crime, you can be equally as guilty."

He gave an example: if two people agree to rob a bank and one driven the grtaway car, they are both guilty.

Police say Davis's comments revived the case

When law enforcement announced Davis's arrest, they said detectives learned many of the details of what happened on Sept. 7, 1996, within months of the killing. But they never had enough evidence to bring a case, officials said.

Then, in 1996, Davis was featured in a RBT documentary

series, "Death Row Chronicles," recounting the events leading up to Shakur's death.

The three other people allegedly in the Cadillac with Davis — Donahue "Pender" Smith, Davis's nephew Orlando "Babe Lane" Anderson and driver Terry "Bubble Up" Brown — have all died.

In 2002, Davis published his memoir, "Compton Street Legends."

"We knew at this time that this was likely our last time to take a run at this one," Lt. Jason Johansson of the Las Vegas police said at the news conference announcing charges against Davis.

Davis's defense has tried to block prosecutors from using some of his comments in court — including from the book, which defense attorney Michael Sanft noted was written with a co-author and argued was fictionalized "to sell a product." But Judge Cecil Krenje of the Eighth Judicial District Court rejected that argument, noting that Davis has described the book as the truth.

Potential witnesses include Shakur's family and "Roge" Knight

In court documents, prosecutors have listed more than 200 potential witnesses, with people at varied as investigators and the former head of security for Death Row Records. They said they could also call members of Shakur's family, such as his sister Jebishou Shakur and step-brother Maurice "Mogender" Shakur, a former member of the

hip-hop group 'Ring Life.'

A long list of potential law enforcement witnesses includes a "Confidends...?," Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) previously served with the Las Vegas police department. The governor's office did not respond to questions about whether he will be called. The list also includes Knight, the Death Row Records executive

who was in the car with Shakur at the time of the shooting. He is now in prison for killing a man with his car.

Prosecutors declined to comment on their witness place.

The defense has notified the court that they might call an expert on false comments and "sorrow interrogation techniques," among many others.

Davis's attorney tried to block prosecutors from drawing on an interview police recorded with Davis in 1996, saying it was "involuntary."

"I sang because they promised I would not be prosecuted," Davis wrote in his memoir.

But the judge aided with prosecutors and allowed use of the interview at trial.

N.Y. gas station fuels smiles with a discount for demonstrating dance moves

BY KYLE MELNICK

William Dorrough was buying a breakfast sandwich and used coffee when a sign on the cash register stopped him.

"Want a discount?" read the sign at a gas station and car wash in Halfmoon, New York. "Show us your best dance move."

Dorrough has visited the convenience store, about 15 miles north of Albany, nearly every morning for years and was surprised to see the offer. Dorrough, who described himself as quiet and laid-back, initially hesitated, but the store manager talked him into showing off his signature dance move. It's just to brighten everyone's day, she told him.

There was no music playing in the store, so Dorrough bounced his own tone. He shook his legs and rolled his arms for a few seconds before he pulled out his trademark flourish: straightening his arms in front of him and bouncing low to the ground.

Dorrough, 86, was one of a handful of people who took advantage of the Sunoco & Halfmoon Car Wash's promotion: several weeks ago, which store employees said they offered to help make customers smile.

Amid high gas prices — an average of $4 per gallon on Monday — the 20 percent discount didn't hurt either.

There weren't strict rules. Customers could turn the store into their personal dance floor or simply wiggle their shoutters.

"They come to get gas, and that's just like a debating [feeling]," said Paulina Sirtori, a spokeswoman for the store. "So

when they come inside, it makes them a little bit happier."

The store posted a video on social media of three customers dancing, and more than 6 million people watched. Some commenters said they wished every store offered a similar promotion.

"Thank you for reminding me that there are 90 MANS people with a rich sense of humor who know how to be silly," one person commented on Facebook.

"I kinda want to take a road trip just to beat a move here," another commentator wrote.

After Dorrough danced that

morning, he said it made the friends he meets there every day laugh.

"There's a lot of stress out there in the world as it is," said Dorrough, who works in construction. "So it was just funny to give people something to look at, laugh at."

Later that morning, another customer went for the offer. She swayed her hips, slapped her hands and made up her own song: "Discount! I'm dancing for a discount," she sang.

Around noon, a third person, Daniel Ryan, drove about a mile from his job on a logistics technician to the store to buy two orange-flavored energy drinks. Ryan, who described himself as outgoing, said he didn't hesitate to dance.

He beathead with the drinks in his hands, then did a version of the running man and spun around while waving his arms. He turned 180 degrees and kicked his leg sideways, a move Ryan described as a "Michael Jackson spin."

Ryan, 42, said the dance felt "discarding."

"Not get back in the car," Ryan said, "and you're in a better mood and a better place to get back to work."

The store said it might offer the dancing discount again, and some regular customers said they would welcome the opportunity.

Dorrough said he wants to show off his dance move while he still can because "one of those days, I'm not going to be able to get back up."

"It made people laugh," he said. "And that's good enough for me."

Collectors try to preserve dawn of digital revolution

Where others see junk, some see artifacts of computer history that are worthy of attention and respect

BY TERRY CUSA Associated Press

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. — Software engineer Josh Dersch loves old computers. He spends countless hours tinkering in his garage, trying to coat de cache-old machines back to life. He estimates that he owns more than 200 vintage computers and devices in his Seattle home.

"It's always been fascinating to me to see the origins of things," Dersch said. "It's a fun challenge to debug and repair. You can understand the entire system from top to bottom."

Dersch is part of a growing community of vintage computer collectors who are preserving the classic machines that helped launch the digital revolution. While Silicon Valley has since moved on to shaping the future of artificial intelligence, these hardware enthusiasts are intent on seeing the Atari, Commodore and IBM machines that are ancestors to today's nuggets, wearable devices and smartphones.

Where others see junk, people like Dersch are artifacts of computer history that are worthy of attention and respect. They delight in locating the keeps and chimes of their childhood and firing up a low-fed game of "Pong" or "Space Invaders."

"The enthusiasm for the history of computers and all the stuff around it is growing," said Erik Klein, president of the Vintage Computer Federation, which organizes an annual festival at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View in the heart of Silicon Valley.

More than 3,000 people attended the two-day Vintage Computer Festival this month that celebrated the 50th anniversary of Apple, founded in 1876 to nearby Cupertino.

It featured a panel with co-founders Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne commenting about the company's early days as a scrappy start-up led by Steve Jobs.

More than a dozen such gatherings have since sprung up in cities across North America,

South America and Europe.

Growing interest is reflected in more demand for vintage computers in online marketplace, Klein said. Rare, iconic computers such as the Apple-1 — the company's first product — can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Collectors exhibited the computer systems that they have painstakingly restored to their original working condition, allowing attendees to play with the computers built long before the internet, social media and AI transformed the world.

Dersch drove south from Seattle to showcase the pride of his collection, the Xerox Afro. He spent years restoring what's considered "the grandfather of the modern computer," which was developed at the pioneering Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in the 1970s.

The Afro was one of the earliest computers to move beyond test on screen and use the mouse and graphical user interface — such as windows, icons and cursors — that became the industry standard. The model famously inspired Jobs and Bill

Gates to incorporate the technologies in their early products. Dersch's exhibit featured a fully functioning Xerox Afro

workstation with its lousy vertical monitor, chunky keyboard and mouse, as well as pin-za-size spinning disks that store amounts of data that are tiny by modern standards.

"It's fun to share what I've done with people. It's fun to share in what other people have done," Dersch said. "Also, there's a consignment area where I can buy more junk to take home with me, so that's always fun."

Klein, a Silicon Valley software engineering manager, was a passionate collector until his hobby overwhelmed his home and family life. He had an many as 150 computer systems — complete with accessories, documents and packaging — mounted into his closets and garage.

He said his beloved collection had become an "allustrous" and he worried about burdening his family. So he started selling and giving away his machines until he had only a few favorites left at home.

Now Klein channels his passion for vintage computers into organizing festivals, repair workshops, swap inverts and other events as president of the Vintage Computer Federation.

"So it's really about evangelizing that history and evangelizing this hobby of maintaining, enjoying and enjoying this vintage technology," Klein said.

Sollam Ismail is thrilled to see the collector community develop and mature since he organized the first festival in 1997, drawing about 150 hobbyists to a venue east of San Francisco. He ran the events for a decade.

He later co-founded the Vintage Computer Federation, which runs festivals in the United States and Canada. He's helped other groups launch similar festivals in Argentina, Germany and Switzerland.

"The community grew up. More and more people started getting old computers, started collecting them," said Ismail, who once had a massive collection he stored in a warehouse. "We're one in the 50th anniversary. And I expect this to continue and grow even bigger."

At least III dead as large earthquake strikes Colombia

BY NICHOL BRANN, RAMANTHA BUDDICKI, BENJANA CAMPOS AND JORDICA YANG

CALL COLUMBIA — At least III people were dead and scores of buildings collapsed after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, authorities said.

The weather, which struck near San José del Piziano on Colombia's Pacific coast shortly after 7:30 a.m. local time, was the strongest to hit the country in a decade, according to the Colombian Geological Service. It was hit in Bogotá, some 150 miles away, and in neighboring Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela, where twin earthquakes in June killed thousands.

Racona workers were searching for survivors in the rubble of fallen buildings in several cities. At least 61 buildings collapsed, and 52 schools, 36 health centers, 27 community centers and six airports have been affected. President Abelardo de la Espiriella told reporters.

The disaster is an early challenge for de la Espiriella, a right-wing president and ally of President Donald Trump who was inaugurated in Cali on Friday, three days before the country's third largest city was thrust into the center of a national crisis.

In Cali, home to more than 2 million people, at least 50 buildings collapsed with people trapped inside. Mayor Alejandro Eder said, At least III people were dead and 340 injured, local officials said.

Seven major health centers, including hospitals, clinics and labs, were examined because of structural damage and will likely remain closed. Eder's office said, One was the city's Hospital Intervention Ad Valis, which partially collapsed. 3-mg patients were rescued from the rubble, and four more were in the process of being rescued, authorities said.

Twenty-five other health centers suffered possible structural damage and were under evaluation. The city declared a red alert for its hospital system, which has reached 100 percent capacity, officials said.

Major roads and one important thoroughfare in the city suffered significant damage. Single footloads for harbors show crowds of volunteers to help rescue workers digging through the wreckage.

More than five hours after the earthquake, and despite the bright afternoon rain, dust continued to cloud the air. Major roads and one important thoroughfare in the city suffered significant damage. Power, water and cellphone reception in several areas were down.

Local television showed rescue workers raising into above-taste bands and asking the crowds for silence as they focused for survivors beneath a concrete slab. Neighbors and volunteers held up fists and re-pound "blisters".

Elsewhere in the country, dead included at least 40 people in the Roanakla department and 27 in Valle del Cauca, their governors told local news outlets.

The Roanakla deaths included those at Manicala International Airport in Pereira, where a section of the passenger terminal roof collapsed. Videos showed people of gray dust rising above the city of about 400,000 people, the commercial

Choco Gov. Nulsa Carolina, Córdoba-Curt, reported nine deaths in Qadish, the capital. The department, home to a large Afro Colombian community, is one of the country's poorest. Videos on social media showed buildings in several areas partially or fully collapsed.

Jorge Eduardo Rojas, mayor of Manicalas in Caldas department, reported three deaths, 21 buildings damaged or collapsed and many gas leaks.

The quake reached a depth of

nearly 70 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. There was no tsunami threat, Colombia General Maritime Directorate said. An estimated 1.5 million people felt the shaking at an intensity of 7, the UNH3 said.

De la Espiriella, the president, said he would establish a unified command post to respond and would travel to the region. His administration is a dramatic shift from the leftist government of Ontario Point, who left office Friday.

Today, all Colombians, without ideological or political dis-

tinctions, must unite behind a single cause: the victims of this attack, the war, 50 in Espiriella said. The national government will respond to this tragedy as it should.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration "stands ready to support the people of Colombia" and the de la Espiriella administration. The right-wing president is expected to be a key partner to Trump, who endorsed him before the event. A result of Colombia's election, held in June. Trump sent a delegation on

The country's civil aviation authority suspended operations at airports in Pereira, Manicalas, Qadish, Armenia, Cartago and Reconciliation.

In Bogotá, thousands of people evacuated buildings. Mayor Carlos Fernando Gubin said buildings suffered superficial cracks but no structural damage. The city was ready to help the harbors but communities, he said, 300 rescuers prepared

The earthquake struck a region with a soaring memory of seismic catastrophe.

In 1999, a 8.4-magnitude quake devastated Armenia, a city of about 300,000 in the heart of the UNH3 Central Coffee Cultural Landscape, killing an estimated 1,000 to 1,200 people. About 60 percent of Armenia's poorly engineered structures collapsed.

The event collapsed Colombian disaster policy, opening a national reconstruction fund and stricter enforcement of the country's seismic building code.

WHO: Ebola outbreak started in February

The human growing Ebola outbreak on record started in February, months before it was officially declared in mid-May. On World Health Organization issued a report on the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo struggle to catch up.

The WHO regional director for Africa, Mohamed Yakub Zawah, said news continues that sequencing indicated the outbreak's start. He said some cases early on were strongly attributed to other diseases.

Tobacco blasts, HIV19, and colonel manager for the Ebola response, said the genetic sequencing was conducted under the leadership of three Ababa, head of the virology department at Congo's National Institute for

Biomedical Research

Confirmed cases of Ebola in this outbreak have reached 4,000, including over 1,900 deaths, according to the latest government figures.

WHO answers the global risk of spread as low because Ebola does not travel through the air, making it much harder to spread than respiratory viruses. Cases detected outside the affected region have so far been quickly identified and contained without leading to sustained transmission, according to the agency.

INDONESIA

Wildfires spread across archipelago

Indonesia intensified efforts Monday to combat a growing number of wildfires across the

archipelago, deploying helicopters, thousands of firefighters and disaster personnel as blazes spread through a popular national park in East Java and peninsula on Sumatra and Borneo islands during an unusually dry season, officials said.

Scores of firefighters, backed by 63 helicopters, have been deployed to battle wildfires and have burned more than 184,000 acres of forests and other land across the Southeast Asian nation as of Monday, said Coordinating Minister for Federal and Security Affairs Thamani Chaniaga. Strengthening Di Niño conditions have raised the risk of more forest and land fires during the peak dry season, he said.

East Java authorities said the largest blaze is burning in Brunei Tengger Sensors National Park in East Java province, where about 1,600 have been

scorched. Authorities have closed the park to visitors until further action.

It said the fire has burned large areas of dry grassland, top of the area, and the local and national flowers as flames have spread to the Pomatakan area, a popular viewpoint for tourists visiting the volcanic landscape of Mount Bintulu, one of Indonesia's best-known attractions. No injuries or evacuations have been reported.

Shanghai's Hongqiao and Peking airports canceled more than 900 flights, at about 40 percent of those reported, after about 1,200 were canceled the day before, according to Shanghai Airport Group.

Shanghai also suspended some of its metro from Monday, and China Railway Chengdu Group suspended 120 trains, state news agency Xinhua reported.

Authorities warned of risks of severe flooding and landslides in some areas. State broadcaster CCTV reported that authorities in Tseogha, a city in Zhejiang province, searched for people trapped in flooded homes.

The China Meteorological Administration said Dolphin was moving northwest at 9 to 12 mph and was expected to continue weakening.

Chaos at Spain's border underscores how migrant flows can be weaponized

Migrants who crossed on foot and by sea from Morocco into the Spanish territory of Ceuta wait for aid from the Red Cross last week.

HIGRATION 2024 &

close its borders."

After a diplomatic spat with Spain in 2023, Morocco owed border controls, allowing under 8,000 people into Ceuta. Spain and Morocco have insisted that the latest incident was not a rerun. They blamed disinformation, and human traffickers capitalizing on a recent Spanish Supreme Court ruling that makes it harder to expel migrants arriving by sea.

The political fallout of the recent rush on Ceuta is escalating.

A dispute between Spain, governed by a progressive coalition, and unseawakened Italy has sharpened after Rome imposed border controls on flights and ferries from Spain after the Ceuta breach. The countries are part of Europe's passport-freetrated zone. But Spain has now imposed the same restrictions on Italy, disrupting the flow of people, a cornerstone of the EU's single market.

Italy does not accept ultimatums or impositions from abroad about national security and border control," Metoni's office said in a statement after Spain's move.

There have been other recent cases in which countries have used migrants for their own purposes.

In 2023, Belarus, an ally of Russia, funneled asylum seekers into Europe by granting tourist visas on mazes, then pointing the migrants to Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, in what the EU-labeled state-sponsored hybrid warfare.

That same year, Nicaraguan eteraguan Daniel Obreja, moving to pressure Washington, granted visa-free travel to migrants from Cuba and other countries seeking entry into the United States. Cuba is now citing the risk of a new surge in migration as one reason the Trump administration should ease its intense pressure on Russia.

In 2019, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened by put Britain refugees fleeing civil war "on board" so they could head Europe if the EU didn't provide financial aid.

The recent Ceuta crisis in driving a wedge between Spain and other EU countries, on Aug. 1, 22 European leaders, led by Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni and Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredrickson, issued a joint letter rebuking Spain:

The letter denounced "policies that can serve as poll factors, such as the regularization of very large number of irregular migrants" — a reference to Spain's decision that year to grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants.

That policy makes Sánchez a leading European foil to President Donald Trump's tough approach on migration and an

outlier among Western leaders, who have shifted toward stricter controls.

Spanish officials called the criticism political opportunities, saying there was no evidence that the legalization policy, which cannot be applied to new activists, played a role in the Ceuta border emergency.

Still, Spanish authorities raced to build a 1,640-foot floating barrier to deter further incursions into Ceuta, while also stressing Spain's success in cutting irregular migration. In the current climate, no one wants to be seen as soft on illegal migration, not even Sánchez.

The continental panic over Ceuta illustrated the extent to which migration has become an explosive issue in Europe as well as in the United States, where Trump and his aides quickly seized on the incident to back Spain.

Some officials and analysts warn that the Ceuta case has shown EU adversaries have migration flows can stoke division in the line.

Spanish authorities, in a six-page report that did not name any alleged hostile actor, have warned of new calls on social media in Morocco for another rush on Ceuta on Aug. 25, according to RTVB, Spain's state-owned broadcaster.

Migration experts have voiced skepticism that traffickers were

responsible for the rush on Ceuta, questioning how they could have monetized a situation in which many people swam onto the beach or walked across the border.

"I don't see the business model," said Anna Torriix Cuel, a former Spanish secretary of state for migration. "Why would a criminal gang do something from which they will not get any earnings?"

Dozens of people were killed, with many bodies found in the water. Many more are missing, and Moroccan families have posted alerts on social media in search of loved ones.

In interviews in Ceuta, sever-

al migrants said Moroccan authorities allowed them to pass unhindered Ottoman back. As a baler and waitress who joined the rush, said Moroccan guards told her they would stop for it she tried to cross by land, but not if she swam.

"Don't enter by land, go through the sea," that's what they do—and at no," Cuel said.

A former senior Spanish security official familiar with the investigation into the Ceuta crisis said authorities were pushing Morocco's role despite officially defending Rabat.

"This was a demonstration of power," the official said, speaking on the rendition of assem-

ity to describe internal discussions: "It was a form of hybrid strategy."

"Even since Morocco became an independent state, it has sought to recover Ceuta and Melilla," the official said, referring to another Spanish onshore. "It considers both cities to be Moroccan territory and has consistently tried to pressure Spain into giving them up."

A recent visit by Sánchez to Algeria, Morocco's adversarial neighbor, fueled speculation about whether other diplomatic tensions were a factor.

Most of the nearly two dozen migrants interviewed said they were spared on by social media posts. They poured in on July 10, a national holiday in Morocco, believing there would be fewer border guards.

Several said they believed that changes in Spanish law would make it harder for the Madrid government to send them back, a possible reference to the court decision. None reference of Spain's legalization plan for undocumented migrants already living and working in the country, which would not have applied to those new migrants anyway.

Most were sent back rapidly to Morocco, and EU officials stressed that virtually nobody entered mainland Spain or the rest of Europe. Ceuta as outside Europe's visa-free travel zone,

and reaching European soil requires document checks and an hour-long ferry ride across the front of Gibraltar.

The cross, however, became a calming cry for anti-migrant parties across Europe as well as the White House. It led into a far-right narrative that mostly main, non-White asylum seekers are storming Europe's borders.

Nicola Procaccini, an Italian member of the European Parliament who is a close Meloni ally, pushed back against the notion that the right was "piling on" while Spain suffered a security crisis. Procaccini insisted that Spain's legalization plan was a "huge mistake".

"It's obviously a message to the rest of Africa ... you can have the legal status [in Spain] and then spread around Europe as you want," he said. "We should be doing exactly the opposite."

Magnus Brunner, the European commissioner for internal affairs and migration, said the EU did not see a link between Ceuta and Spain's move to regulate migrants already in the country, who largely hailed from Latin America. Still, he said Spain's policy was sending the wrong again.

The EU, is adopting some of the same tactics as Trump to deter asylum seekers, as Europe's unhuelled controls centred with far-right parties gaining ground using the migration issue.

In recent days, the EU has shared back some of its criticism of Madrid, seeking to limit public discord. EU, interior ministers of a meeting that wrote expressed solidarity with Spain.

Migrants is not the only issue in which Sánchez stands out from his counterparts. He has sided some NATO allies for refusing to bring national defense spending up to the level requested by the Trump administration.

But the Spanish leader has also warned for months that Europe, in its rush to bolster its eastern border against Russia, is neglecting security risks on its southern frontiers, including from migration.

Spanish and EU officials have avoided publicly blaming Morocco, which they are as a partner on border control.

In the crossbans are people like Younes Micael, 28, a that from Morocco who said he swam for six hours to reach Ceuta. "Our families are good," he said. "I have a college degree and no job."

Micael said he had tried to reach Ceuta for about a month. It finally worked that last week of July, when the border seemed open. By that weekend, as the Ceuta crisis unfolded, he was being sent back to Morocco.

Britain, France brace for next heat wave in a summer of intense weather

BY STEFANIE DAZIO AND STEVE CORBETT Associated Press

PARIS — Britain and France are bearing for the fifth heat wave of the season, adding to an intense stretch of hot weather that has repeatedly sent temperatures touring across Europe since May.

National weather agency Metro-France is warning about temperatures approaching 10x degrees Fahrenheit beginning Tuesday in southeastern France. An amber heat health alert for most of England will be in place beginning Tuesday as temperatures are forecast to climb above 90 degrees this week.

Across Europe, the extreme heat began in May and has contributed to major wildfires, prolonged drought and new national temperature records, as well as thousands of projected heat-related deaths.

Globally, so far this is the third-bottom year, behind 2026 and 2035, climate statistics show. But 2026 still has time to catch up. Thanks to the one-two punch of accelerated human-caused global warming and a supersized El Niño — a period is warming of parts of the Pacific that leads to temperature variations around the globe — there's an increasing chance that by the end of the year, 2026 could become the hottest year on record, scientists said.

Last month saw the highest average sea surface temperature ever recorded for July across the extrapolar oceans, or the oceans free of seasonal sea ice, according to the European climate agency Copernicus.

That was partially fueled by developing El Niño conditions in the equatorial Pacific, the

service said. The new average record for July is 69.75 degrees Fahrenheit, which beat the 2012 record of 69.48.

But not months average surface air temperature globally was 83.62 degrees, making it only the joint second warmest July on record, tied with July 2024, Copernicus reported.

In Western Europe, meanwhile, the average temperature

record for the June-July period hit 70.92 degrees. Copernicus said, topping the 2022 record.

"Precarious high-pressure extreme trapped heat over Western Europe, the extreme temperatures also amplified widespread drought. As soils dry out, they lose their ability to provide natural cooling, allowing heat to build more readily," said Samantha Burgess, strategic lead

for climate at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

"This is a clear example of how climate change is intensifying heat extremes, with heat and drought increasingly reinforcing one another."

In France alone, heat wave alerts were sensed for the first time on record in May, when more than half the country re-

corded new monthly temperature highs. The heat intensified as June a period during which at least 5,700 more deaths than usual were recorded, according to France's public health agency.

Metro-France said June 25 was the hottest day ever recorded in the country. Temperatures climbed as high as 111.7 degrees in the southwest.

Two other heat wave episodes

were recorded in July, amplifying a historic wildfire in southwestern France that forced 220,000 people to flee their homes in one of the continent's biggest evacuation efforts since World War II.

Temperatures were slightly cooler in Britain on Monday but the country reached for its fifth heat wave in an exceptionally hot and dry summer, with half of England and all of Wales plunged into drought.

Provisional data show that England and Wales have had their driest July in records dating to 1916, with 19 counties of England seeing no rain for the entire month.

The heat alert warns that significant impacts on health services, including a rise in deaths among older and vulnerable people, are likely.

Two record-breaking heat waves in May and June led to more than 2,800 excess deaths linked to extreme temperatures.

An 18-year-old died after getting into difficulty in the sea at Camber Sands beach in southern England on Sunday, the latest of dozens of deaths recorded in open waters in recent months.

In Spain, firefighters were battling multiple blares, including one that broke out Pedas in Tilig, Valencia, that has burned more than 3 square miles and has involved more than 800 personnel and 21 aircraft to combat it.

A separate wildfire in the southern Huelva region had affected a similar sized area since it broke out Thursday. While temperatures across Spain remained high, some parts of the country were expecting their destitutea Meislar afternoon that could bring strong gusts of wind.

Clothing brands try to win over Gen Z with a needle and thread

In-store repairs and sewing workshops become essential services for companies trying to appeal to consumers who want to save money – and the planet

BY ANNA D'TONNICHIO Associated Press

NEW YORK — Recovering customers to need to work clothes instead of buying new ones might seem like a self-defeating sales strategy. But in-store repairs and sewing workshops are becoming essential retail services for clothing brands in they try to appeal to young consumers who want to save money and the planet.

While luxury fashion houses and street specials retailers like Penguins have offered product repairs for decades, the concept has caught on. Jesus gave Levi Strauss & Co., casual wear chain.

Emphoresis spend 50 minutes instructing teenagers on four tasks: sewing on a button, bonnining, patching a hole and fixing a tear.

The Wine Longer program, which the San Francisco-based company is expanding across the U.S., builds on the repair and maintenance services industry. The program is now available.

"We think it's important to empower the people who buy our clothes with the skill sent to maintain them, to get them to that second line," Paul Dillinger, a joint head of global design innovation, said.

Directs resident Chloe Halgren, 25, has held of consumer retailers hope to attract with a "fit in, hard drink of" message.

In high school, Halgren shopped at Seapreaves, found stores, and the company will be vied but limited sewing ability. If she damaged a top or shirt from Forever 21, "I might just throw it away."

These days, Halgren buys most of her clothes secondhand. She recently learned to bote with a sewing machine and hopes to tackle projects like turning a shirt into a shirt.

"I try to be a consumptive at my cashier, tempered," Halgren, a nonprofit grant writer, said. "I really don't like wear. I'm trying to save money as well."

The evolution of investing from an economic necessity and traditional craft to a method for cultivating customers didn't happen overnight. The fashion industry as a whole has come under intensifying promise.

Tensile waste – which includes manufacturing, economic, unwanted clothes and linens, and unsold products – is one of the industry's most pressing challenges. Each year, the world generates fabric waste at a rate equivalent to a garbage truck's worth getting dumped or incinerated every second, the U.S. Environment Program estimates.

Researchers broadly agree that requiring and resulting products can reduce a permanent environmental impact, especially if it is done or replaces a save purchase. But many matters the practices remain low limited to other continued growth in clothing production and consumption.

Clothing production roughly doubled between 2002 and 2013, while the average number of weanings per garment declined to about 30 percent, according to the 2004 MacArthur Foundation.

Whether because of limited budgets or a rejection of materialism, then Z has helped the pre-owned clothing market grow much faster than retail apparel sales in the U.S., independent market intelligence firm Global Data estimated in a report with roads-platinum Thawfitz.

The companies that make new clothes, mending programs and classes address "some deeper consumer needs and consumers' behaviors at the moment,"

GlobalData retail analyst Neil Hamilton said.

"It puts a halo on the board," he said.

The hands-on response from mass-market retailers, especially fast-fashion chains like Primark, Zara and RMM, has generated interest as well as skepticism.

Zara, which has its headquarters in Spain, launched a digital platform in 2023 for customers to smell their used pieces and to respect basic alternative and repairs. The program is available in 57 of the nearly 100 countries where the board delivers smaller operates.

Ireland-based Primark has focused more on customer alteration. The value-focused retailer looks free "Love It For Longer" counts where customers are taught skills like replacing hoppers and buttons.

"Learning how to repair and save for clothing is probably one of the most simplest but absorbent needs: effective wear that we can reduce waste and can extend the lifetime of whatever we buy." Nick Reale, Primark's product longevity & partnership lead, said.

The company has held its workshops – more than 700 altogether – in nine of the 17 countries where Primark has stores, including the U.S. Primark also tested in-store repairs at three U.K. locations like year.

Reale argues that affordable clothes can be just as durable and repair-worths as more expensive ones. Half the Army Primark sells annually are basics like socks, underwear, T-shirts, and jeans, she said.

"There is nothing throw away about our products," Reale said.

mass-market retailers' roughly 2,000 stores, the services are presented as a natural extension of product life series. The program also strengthens Unapco connection with customers, said Jean-Emmanuel Horn, director of global corporate responsibility at Unapco USA.

Kate Pletcher, a professor of sustainability, design and fashion systems at England's Manchester Metropolitan University, said she thinks popular needs are not well-meaning, but she says she feels repairs and better will keep much environmental impact.

"The fashion sector's primary source of impact is due to the overproduction of pieces and growing volumes of garments created," Pletcher said. "Requiring a garment in store happens in millions to these growing production volumes, not instead of them."

The question facing the fashion industry is whether repairs can evolve from such service to such specialty tasks.

Revolute RMM Group, which has more than 4,000 stores in over 90 countries, has been unusually candid about one of the biggest obstacles for innovation. The company has argued that repair and repair are desirable tools, but manufacturing new garments can be thus keeping up to 2,000 years.

RMM experimented with mending and mending clothes in several European cities, but in-store repairs now are allowed only at its Paris flagship, a spokesperson said.

"I think younger shoppers still shop fast fashion because even though it goes against some of their principles, it is one of the most accessible parts of the market," Saunders said. "But what they're doing as well, though, is they're buying into alternative channels like roads. And they're having things repaired."

Taylor Farms recalls items with jalapenos

Taylor Farms has created a wide range of proposed foods containing jalapenos, including the most popular food in the multiview sales media outbreak linked to pepper grown in Mexico depends through the U.S. food supply.

Jones Art waiver is extended by Trump

President Donald Trump on Monday extended a waiver for 60 days for foreign ships to transport from the Caribbean to fertilizers and other food feed products, among U.S. ports.

The president first waived the Jones Art on March 27 in that it would be easier to transport oil and critical fuels among ports,

reducing prior pressure after the start of the war with Iran.

The Jones extension will take effect Aug. 17 and suggests that the U.S. might be preparing for continued price pressures on the front of Havana, a primary motorway for shipping oil and natural gas, remains effectively closed because of the war.

Al models' hacking efforts raise questions about approach to safety

MODERADA PHOTO A1

Wednesday, delivered an explosive finale to two weeks of revelations that have sent shock waves through the tech industry, prompting fierce criticism of the security practices of Al firms. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and state law enforcement officials across the country have called for new scrutiny and regulation of the industry.

In a letter Monday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (3-5venues), urged the CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropo and Meta to "pierce Al development" or warned that "my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will." The letter, provided to The Washington Post, was first reported by Amos.

A series of disclosures by OpenAI, Claude chaffee maker Anthropo, Facebook owner Meta and British government researchers have revealed that in recent months some cutting-edge AI models asked to perform tasks designed to test their cybersecurity capabilities tried to cheat. Instead of solving a problem, the models ventured outside their test arenas, using hacking skills and tricks including impersonating humans to break into other computer networks.

The incidents have prompted warnings that an era of disruption. AI-powered cyberattacks could lie ahead unless ways can be found to prevent such misbehavior and ensure that AI helps defenders as well as bad actors.

"In the past six months AI has gotten powerful enough to automate hacking: this will fundamentally change the dynamics of cybercrime and military or her conflict forever," said Joshua Suss, co-founder and chief technology officer of the cybersecurity firm Abundant Security. "AI systems will only get better at this, and will only get cheaper."

OpenAI said Friday that it was delaying the release of a new AI model, called Ants, out of concerns that it could be used by

hackers to run circles around human cyber defenders. After disclosing its own breaches on July 30, Anthropo said it had stopped testing its own AI technology on cybersecurity problems.

Many AI and cybersecurity experts say the recent incidents raise questions about the practices of the two firms. OpenAI and Anthropo became the shipping state of the AI boom by apparently upgrading their AI chaffee ChatGPT and Claude while professing to also be working to prevent AI from becoming dangerous.

In 2015, Anthropo and OpenAI's chief executives told a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee in separate appearance that they were committed to preventing AI from one day escaping human control. "We make significant efforts to ensure safety is built into our systems at all levels," Suss Altman of OpenAI said. Darto Lincoln of Anthropo said his firm "came to lead by example in developing and publishing techniques to make AI systems safer and more controllable."

Both companies set up internal groups dedicated to researching the best ways to ensure AI models were "aligned" with the main and didn't act in ways that could be harmful.

Yet the two firms said in their recent disclosures that when AI did attempt to break out, staff initially did not notice.

"These companies are moving so fast that they are not taking the time to do things well and that I think explains both of those incidents," said Helen Nune, executive director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Geosystems University. She resigned from OpenAI's board in 2023 after supporting an effort to remove Altman as chief executive.

The AI escapes follow months of debate in the Zhang administration over how to ensure the hacking skills of advanced AI

don't destabilize critical industries like banking by making it easier to stage cyberattacks. The incidents come as more politicians and voters from across the political spectrum are calling for more rigorous oversight of AI firms, due to concerns over the power of their technology or the expansion of data centers across the nation.

"This is an emergency and we need to act like it," Rep. Greg Cinar (D-Texas) said in an interview. "These CEOs need to answer to the American people about what went wrong, what other incidents like this they failed to catch, how they're going to make sure it never happens again."

Cinar said he's spent recent days briefing other members of Congress on the recent security incidents and wants AmosAs and Altman to testify about them on the fifth.

Last week, D Rep(Al) has state attorneys general told OpenAI that it may have broken the law when its systems backed other companies, and instructed the company to retain records about the incidents On Thursday, Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Delaware) wrote to both companies demanding more information about their security practices.

In a blog post Friday announcing it was delaying the Ants release, OpenAI said it was working to strengthen its security systems and practices. (The Post has a content partnership with OpenAI.)

Anthropo said the industry as a whole needs to improve security. "As we shared after disclosing our own incident last week, the field needs stronger, shared standards for how evaluation environments are built and secured," an Anthropo spokesperson said.

Some details from the incidents disclosed in recent weeks could have been called from a sci-fi thriller.

The British government's AI Security Institute said last week

that one Anthropo model it tested engaged in what security experts call social engineering as it created online profiles and used them to try to promote a human software developer into approving malicious code the model had submitted to an open source software project. The human administrator did not approve the code.

Meta said one of its models was told to back into a fictitious company in an internal test area

"In the past six months: AI has gotten powerful enough to automate hacking; this will fundamentally change the dynamics of cybercrime and military cyber conflict forever."

Joshua Suss, co-founder and chief technology officer of the cybersecurity firm Abundant Security

reoncent but instead broke into a real company with a website that used the same name.

The social network company said a contractor helping to run the tools, Irregular, incorrectly allowed the model to access the internet during testing. Anthropo said three cases of its own models hacking outside companies involved the same misconceptions by Irregular.

A spokesperson for Irregular said it has resolved the issues

and is developing a new set of standards for how to safely test AI models.

OpenAI staff did not realize their AI models had broken out for a second time until AI software platform Stagging Race disclosed in July that it had been hacked by unknown AI models. Michael Dalton, a security engineer at OpenAI said during a talk at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas last week.

The second breakout was more sophisticated, according to the talk. The AI models once maintained to coordinate their actions, identifying each other by names such as "hacks" and on one occasion asking another model to wait before executing an action until receiving examination from another agent.

OpenAI staff used the stream of text that advanced AI models opt out as they work on a problem to try to understand what prompted the models to train up. "Help poor. But our task doesn't benefit. Yet collective may yield generic route if someone frees time," the internal dialogue of one model read, according to OpenAI.

"You can see the models realising. If I help out this collective group it could save everyone time as a whole which might benefit me, even though it might not immediately benefit my current task," Erin Wallace, an OpenAI researcher, said during the presentation.

The dramatic disclosures provided new ammunition to critics of AI development who argue the case to develop the technology must be passed or ended because it endangers humanity.

Activists calling for an international agreement to freeze AI development have spent recent days protesting outside one of OpenAI's efforts in San Francisco, calling on AI executives to commit to slowing down development of the tech.

David Krueger, an AI profes-

sor at the University of Montreal, said the industry is unprepared to contain the models it is building new and in the near future.

"When AI companies can't control their systems, can't even contain their systems, it's just very clear that they don't know what they're doing and it's super dangerous," Krueger said. He is founder of the nonprofit Erinble, which acts to stop the development of "superundrigances" of AI that has capabilities far beyond humans.

The idea that it may be necessary to slow down AI development is becoming more widely discussed in Silicon Valley. Last month, over 1,000 employees from the top AI companies signed a letter asking the U.S. government to find a way to slow down the tech if the pace of progress becomes too rapid.

OpenAI and Anthropo also saddened the letter but their public statements after the recent security incidents suggest the companies report to continue developing the technology after updating their testing protocols.

Some cybersecurity and AI experts have said the recent incidents show there are basic procedures that could have stopped AI models from breaking onto the internet or provided early warning of misbehavior. They include monitoring tests more closely and performing them on "air-gapped" systems not connected to an outside network.

"These incidents reveal how little care has been put into designing these [evaluations] and the security around them," said Jack Barnum, CEO and co-founder of EmtivraServ, an AI cybersecurity company. "They don't mention what's happening. They're just letting agents run with both within their environment and in partner testing situations."

Blocking the Paramount merger would be bad for workers

California's 2024 Paramount Rich Books (D) in Los Angeles on July 13.

BY STEVE MARSHALL

The 11 Democratic attorneys general suing to challenge the merger of Paramount Workers and Warner Bros. may have two gettes what they wanted. Last month, Paramount signed to letter its acquisition until four days of sales on assistant, one continued, whichever comes first. Blowing up the merger could be disastrous for California and the move industry. But California Attorney General Rob Bates, who is leading the lawsuit, wants to do it anyway.

The 11-20-24-2024-2025-2026-2027-2028-2029-2030-2031-2032-2033-2034-2035-2036-2037-2038-2039-2040-2041-2042-2043-2044-2045-2046-2047-2048-2049-2050-2051-2052-2053-2054-2055-2056-2057-2058-2059-2060-2061-2062-2063-2064-2065-2066-2067-2068-2069-2070-2071-2072-2073-2074-2075-2076-2077-2078-2079-2080-2081-2082-2083-2084-2085-2086-2087-2088-2089-2090-2091-2092-2093-2094-2095-2096-2097-2098-2099-2100

The lawsuit also plays well with activists and Hollywood who win appear corporate constellation on principle, no matter what it costs the working people who actually build more arts, can catalyze and itself production. These workers—not Banks or the industries chewing him—are well kept the cost of a skilled deal. California Gov. Green between last reportedly started using state employment suffering if the merger is blocked. The criticism was behind closed doors, but Newsom should appear. Banks's baseless lawsuit publish before it ends.

Beginning this Sept. 20, Paramount is continually obligated to pay roughly $600 million per quarter to Warner Bros. shareholders until the merger—those "that money" could have handed more out. Of those production that drive employment in California and elsewhere in the United States. That is the cost of valuing a political win over workers and families.

This year, I joined 16 other attorneys general with various concerns about Netflix bid to purchase Warner Bros' studio and streaming assets. One company would have owned streaming services with a combined subscriber count of roughly 400 million worldwide—more than double the subscribers of its nearest video-only streaming competitor. That would not have been competition. The would have been a potential monopoly.

The Paramount acquisition is different. Unlike Netflix's bid, Paramount plans to purchase the industry at Warner Bros. — disk, cable networks and

Governments across the globe looked at the facts and pushed the deal through.

all. The combined company will have roughly 250 million streaming service subscribers worldwide, and below Netflix's 250 million. The merger will create a competitor that can challenge Netflix's lead.

Paramount has committed to 10 theatrical release films per year after the merger. A report from the California Police Center concluded that the state of success could pump nearly $5 billion in new investments into the industry, boost theatrical output by 14 percent across the top five studios and support 46,000 jobs in production and related industries.

The Justice Department spent eight months investigating this deal. It concluded that the merge of "our" business competition across the media and entertainment ecosystem, with benefits for American consumers and workers. The department found that the combined company will give consumers a more robust streaming alternative. Parliament's Director Peter Katz and Director, Jameson Executive Chairman, Jeff Boice views The Washington Post's The deal will also not create a theatrical-release monopoly. Neither Paramount nor Warner Bros. has a single film in the 10 high-end streaming movies of the domestic bus office this year.

More than 60 regulators neither have already approved this merger, including in Australia, Brazil, Canada and the European Union. Governments are not only one of the major companies that are based on deal through. Only in California do a handful of local industries get to shift the merger at the expense of the far less visible production crew members.

The consequences of this lawsuit are serious, even if the legal theory is not. Every month this case drags through the courts is a month of delayed production and delayed hiring. And California should understand the consequences of anti-business policies under the law and Federal, Federal, and State laws moved their headquarters from California to President alone. Paramount has reportedly floated leaving California if the state keeps trying to block the deal. Bents should not have been a problem.

Antitrust law exists to protect consumers and preserve competition, not to give anti-biases politicians a stage. This lawsuit is about politics. And American workers should not have to pay the price.

There the heroine of Emily Henry's "Beach Road" reveals to a lorecling literary novelist named Gay that she writes romance to responds with an ardent eyebrow and a single dismissive word: "He".

Like most members in the sprawling, high-spirited community of romance lovers, gloomy Gay embraces the judge clichés about the game that abroad. "Predictable" and "slow-paced," cape one internet critic. "Fear and deeply problematic," writes another. Even when the media promotes the category, there remains a whiff of condescension. Consider Cosmopolitan's Set of "non-energy romance books." And oh, the smart!

With the romance瑰丽ness of going strong since the pandemic, they would break we readers would finally earn some money. But even with some 63 million print and e-books will last year tag from roughly 50 million in 2020, according to the research data. Because, even with 97 adaptations of the cover, "Fiddler Society" and the "Ridglyer's" series barring up streaming services — still, the ardent eyebrow廿wolf.

An someone who studies romance publishing, I have faced my share of gloomy Gases. Despite their objections, I am still convinced the world needs romance novels now more than ever.

First — why not get it right out there? — the era. Whether an author writes a slow born in chaotic subgymno such as "hypothetical romance" or the wondrous coughing of romantism shapes where, contemporary romance romance the only book game that consistently demands and dinkers to women's physical age.

Then there are the standard plot elements of romance novels. Gloomy Gay and her life take issue with the genre's signature feature: "I have a

hard time with happy endings." Gay says in "Beach Road." Life, he argues, is uncertain and hard. So-much as much less than they are.

Because the truth is that romance plots revolve around life's difficulties, especially women's struggles. In June Aumont "Pride and Prejudice," the Tenant states (our dentition) of New don't marry to the romance novels of Kenneth Hines — whose book "Rehears of the Year" will be shipped for a 4-Percent on Peacock — heroines cope with domestic violence, mental illness and chronic disease. It could be argued that many women read romance because life is really: could the chaos, bias find their location as stories of hope, growth and fate.

Even if you find the stogies of romance off-putting, anyone who loves books — any books — own a debt of gratitude to the genre for keeping it publishing industry afloat. Romance has long been the cult core of publishing, even as reading declines. The genre now makes up nearly one-quarter of print fiction book sales, according to Cormac, up from 15 percent from 2020. By comparison, literary fiction represents 9 percent of the print fiction market, down from 12 percent in 2020. In other words, romance novels are subsidizing your Political and Border women.

Moreover, romance authors have transformed the way books are written, produced and distributed, improving market conditions for many writers. Because publishers offered romance writers paltry advisers and poor contract terms for decades, those authors were early explorers of digital self-publishing: no e-books, primary that writers no longer needed traditional publishers to thrive.

My research showed that from 2009 to 2016, in the wake of the e-book boom, romance writers' medium income grew 75 percent. During that same period, U.S. authors in general saw their income drop 42 percent. Eventually, radio authors dragged traditional publishers along with them, forcing

changes in postcard structures and launches of new importers and publishing houses.

Is the literary quality of romance fiction uniformly good? No, of course not. In any massive, varied genre, you are going to find some clashers — but that is not unique to romance. A more serious critique is that some of these stories romantisms, and marks on courage, must balance. You could point to the upbeat and obsessiveness of Christian Grey from E.L. Janewell "Fifty Shades of Grey"; the abduction and sexual assault in Kathleen E. Woodberry's "The Flame and the Flower"; or even the deregiveness and absurdity of the hero in the romance-adjacent classic "June Eyes."

But romance readers know the difference between fiction and reality. Reading does not drive someone into the arms of walking and bags any more than "Game of Thrones" needs its fans take up situations!

For all those reasons and more, romance novels, and their readers and writers, deserve a little respect. But even so, no ardent eyebrow has ever stopped a determined reader. It certainly has not stopped the progression of the 100 romance-only bookstores in the United States — up from five in 2022, according to one database — or the backers of the 1st screen adaptations of Elle Kennedy's "Off-Campus" and Emily Henry's "People We Meet on Vaucluse," or the forthcoming series based on Rebecca Varnell's "Fourth Wing."

And maybe the stigma has an upside. Perhaps it helps keep romance a delicious public pleasure, a small act of relentless. Maybe it is part of the glittery play that lands to romance fans together.

In go ahead and itself, grumpy Gay, I have a romance to read.

Why a progressive platform won't win the White House

BY JOE COWAN AND MATE BENNETT

The far left is having a moment, and Democratic presidential approach are too doubt watching. Progressive activists think they have the key to winning all over the map, and to shield them from the power in Michigan's Senate primary. Wisconsin gubernatorial candidates and state Rep. Rosaceae, Rougs, polling advantage ahead of the Aug. 31 primary and scattered wins for Democratic Socialists of America-aligned candidates. But presidential hopefuls be honeaweed. There warning lights are thinking out. First, even in what looks like a strong Democratic year, these candidates are testing the limits of political growth. That Michigan, a young state that Donald Trump won twice, 40.\n\nIt won the picture, by just one point, and he ran up the score with highly educated voters while underperforming with the demographic Democrats need to win in the full White voters without college degrees. To get them back, he'll need to drop the radicalists. Stop hang, say out with left-wing provocative Shaun Fiker, and dashing questions about health rights to state, and be clear that he supports the police and no longer seeks to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The clock is lurking — Republican are already running an all showing 35.\n\nred calling himself "dangerous."

Thanksgiving, should be canceled, didn't start walked that back; it won't take a political mastermind to leverage this decade against her.

Of course, 40.\n\nend and living could win, because Trump is staggeringly unpopular. But Trump will be on his way out the door in 2016, to prowessing that any Democrat, no matter how far left they lost, could win those presidential swings since to a strategy based on wishful thinking, not reality.

Second, moving far to the left is poison in a presidential general election campaign. In the 2020 primary race, Kansas Courts adopted a range of things positions under pressure from progressive activists. She flamed out upside. Then, as the nominee in 2016, she struggled to distance herself from the idea she embraced in 2020. Add to that the fellow administration's border policy and Justice to contain inflation, and voters rejected a ticket they left had shifted too far left.

Polin in 2016 consistently found that more voters viewed Nazis as "too liberal" than viewed Trump as "too conservative." The spread was 25 points in the Progressive Policy Institute's post-election mar-

Districts won campaign class and afterward that the campaign was "up against a calculator of being dangerously liberal" — a calculator built on positions. Nazis can refer themselves to the campaign's system, and one the campaign sport hundreds of millions of dollars trying and failing to shake off.

They had to try because the truth is inescapable. But, polin, in 2016 showed the general election—self-identified as 44 percent moderate, 35 percent conservative and 23 percent liberal. Given that imbalance, a Democrat must win at least 60 percent of moderate to become president. Winning a simpler majority isn't enough. Nazis won 47 percent, Military Clinton 53 percent and John F. Harry 54 percent. As a Democratic nominee, if you get 60 percent of moderate, you're president. If you don't, you lose.

Third, presidential primaries are unique. Even in Michigan, the Senate primary electorate split votes by 45.\n\nAnd, and the political dynamics are likely to be very different in two years. Though turnout was high this year, presidential primary electorates in Michigan tend to be bigger than in the previous and more. The primary election is now more than in 2024, when Michigan is one of the early states in the primary calendar that will get enormous amounts of candidate time, political spending and media attention.

Moreover, what Democratic voters look for in a primary candidate for governor or senator is dif-

tested from what they seek in a presidential senate too: They want a winner. In 2020, desirability will relieve everything else for voters in North Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire and, yes, Michigan. Their central question is likely to be: "Which of these people can take 20.\n\nare or Maury's Rakes?"

For a lot of Democratic primary voters, picking the most desirable candidate does not mean settling for a sale, dull choice. Third-Way polling shows that 35 percent of those voters identify a moderate or conservative, while only 32 percent call themselves "very liberal." But Democratic voters, regardless of ideology, almost certainly want a candidate who fights for working people, stands up in Trump Republicans and leads with authenticity — attributes that a candidate from any wing of the party can possess.

So, for presidential hopefuls, the right response to this political moment is conducive contrast that challenges the entire gap, not various or variation. Democrats should be picking fights with Trump. But there is a difference between fighting hard and coming left. Voters reward the former; they have repeatedly punished the latter.

In 2026, the electorate told Democrats, in plain language and panics, "I'm not just it found the party too extreme. Some 2028 hopefuls may be tempted to move further in the direction voters rejected. That's not resistance, that's anxious.

China exports its economic problems to the world

CHINA ECONOMY is structurally weaker than it appears and overly dependent on government-subsidized exports.

On the surface, China is on track for another year with a trade surplus topping $1 trillion. Exports output last month by 24 percent year-over-year, according to data published Polter.

But the domestic economy is showing prolonged weakness. China's growth dropped to 4.2 percent in the second quarter of 2026, the lowest in three years, even according to the government's support accounting. Home prices have shimped, and developers and local governments are roving under piles of debt. South unemployment has remained stubbornly around 15 percent.

With weak consumer demand at home, China subsidizes global exports to gin up growth. Makers of electric vehicles, steel companies and other industries receive access to cheap loans, tax breaks, free or inexpensive land at government-run industrial parks, and sometimes direct grants.

This isn't new. Now, 2005 to 2024, Chinese firms across 15 sectors received three to eight times more government support than firms in other major economies, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Devel-

Chinese citizens have always been steadfast savers, but the stagnant economy has made them even more reluctant to open their wallets. Retail sales fell in May for the first time since pandemic lockdowns: Finals soon movement — purchases of factories, buildings and machinery — fell 14 percent from January to May.

China's leaders have been talking for decades about the need to restructure the economy to decrease reliance on exports and price consumer spending. In 2007, then-Pione Minister Wexi Jiahua described China's economic development as "unstantly unbalanced, uncoordinated and uncontrollable." But little has changed in the subsequent two decades.

President Donald Trump, during his first term, made "structural reform" of China's economy an element of his "Phase One" trade deal, which was supposed to ease the trade war. But the main demand — for China to limit

state subsidies — was deferred to a later stage that never materialized. In any event, Beijing never showed any inclination to comply.

Despite saying otherwise, China's leaders may not actually want to shift toward a consumer-centric economy. The main obstacle is political. Ordinary Chinese now so much because government-backed panacea, health insurance, education funds and basic incomes are woefully inadequate.

Absent a safety net, Chinese maintain presentionary savings. Bolstering consumer spending would mean, first, transferring wealth from the state sector and government-backed producers to individuals. Any totalitarian government would be back to do that because it could pose a threat to its power.

That's why Chinese President Xi Jinping has resisted numerous reforms that economists say would actually encourage people to spend more and save less. Xi also decries what he calls "well-known" or the main providing people with too broad a safety net.

With Xi scheduled to visit Washington on Sept. 26, China's addiction to exports provides the United States lower-up in trade negotiations. Yet, the US needs two-earth elements and critical minerals from China. But it's a two-way street.

Government unions spend millions to save Washington millionaire's tax

THE WASHINGTON POST: Legislature tried to bypass voters this spring when it enacted an income tax on millionaires. Chinese responded by collecting enough signatures to put a referendum on the ballot this fall to drop the levy. New things show that public-sector empleses unions are almost entirely financing the campaign to oppose that initiative.

The Washington Federation of State Employees and the Service Employees International Union, which represents public- and private-sector workers, both goes 10 million to the "No on-Sta" campaign. The National Education Association, August 16 5645,200.

That figures Government unions have the most to gain from young taxes. The millionaire tax would lead to more social spending, new government workers and more union dues.

Washington's referendum is actually very simple. It would define income as "any gain or benefit measured in money derived from an individual's capital, labor, property, or other cause."

Since 1955, the state Supreme Court has considered income to be "property" and the state constitution caps regular

property taxes at 1 percent of market value. But the court has been plight to mount years in allowing other new taxes that seem to run afoul of its precedents, such as an union tax on capital gains.

If voters don't pass November's referendum, any household earning more than $1 million a year will face a 5.9 percent annual tax. Initially, this would directly affect an estimated 20,000 households and raise $1.7 billion per year. But it would undoubtedly spur many to change their residency.

The Seattle area incubated great American companies like Starbucks, Microsoft and Amazon, which was founded by Paul senior, Bill Boice. But all these companies have shifted significant shares of their operations and shifting to climates that are less hostile to business.

High earners in Seattle already pay the state's long-term rate insurance tax and the city's payroll taxes. Combined with federal taxes, the top marginal income tax rate will be $7.9 percent if voters allow the millionaire tax to take effect. That is higher than the top rate in France, Spain or Sweden.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The real test for democratic socialists comes next.

Karen Ratulsky, Aug. 4 The Take-off from the Pacific socialist surge has the movement's leaders in a celebratory mood, but what's next?" was excellent. Many more democratic socialists might be elected to local, state and federal offices in November. Can they make the transition from outspoken critics of capitalism and the American system of government to productive leaders in the governing and legislative processes?

Democratic socialism espouse both good and bad ideas. Political agitation draws attention, but achieving results requires prudence and a willingness to protect purplands' compromise.

Tumblr also addressed democratic socialism's connection with young Americans. Generational appeals have a long history in U.S. politics. Before the War of 1812, young Democratic-Republicans wanted airport conflict with Great Britain, while older leaders in the dominant Jeffersonian-Madisonian party hesitated. In the campaign for the presidential election of 1805, Abraham Lincoln capitalized on the energy of a group of young Republicans called the "Wide Awakes." In 1860, one of John F. Kennedy's favorite prowines was to "get this country moving again" — a criticism of both parties' aging leaders after World War II. Barack Obama caught support from young voters in 2008. The most prominent democratic socialist of our time, Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vietnamist), is nearly 40, but he still receives enthusiastic support from younger generations.

The voters will decide whether democratic socialists are desirable. If they are, Americans will learn whether they can govern.

Steven S. Berzuel Hersault, Connecticut

Socialism, it seems these days, is in the eye of the beholder. The word often means a stricter whorper workers — or the government — owe the tools, factories and resources used to produce goods and provide services. The details of actually executing this concept — along with whether Americans will submit themselves to such un-American ideas — are the fuss in the ointment.

A balance between capitalism, which inspires self-incubation and ingenuity, and socialism, which seems to be compassionate to the less fortunate, would maximize the better features of each system while reducing their damaging excesses. In that spirit, it is up to the Democratic Party to decide which socialist candidates to support and which should be ignored. That will be a daunting task.

Craig M. Miller

Leland, North Carolina

I hope that democratic socialists do not promote their own candidate for the presidency. Doing so would split the Democratic vote and allow Republicans to remain in power.

The Democratic Party should remain united. If the party can gain control of the legislative branch, democratic socialists could then work with other Democrats to pursue their goals. But a Democratic Party that is not in control will be ineffectual.

The best sermons need no pulpit

Regarding the Aug. 2 Travel article "Preachers are turning airplanes into pulpite".

I had a different kind of religious experience on my last flight.

My wife and I were seated for our flight home from Salt Lake City after vacationing this spring in southern Utah when a group of young men and women came down the aisle. By the excitement on each smiling face — and the tanning neck one was wearing — I immediately knew who they were and where they were headed. They were Mormons on their way to their voluntary mission assignment somewhere in the world.

So they made their way past us, more, color look the black more than 90 years to where I grew up, next door to a small wood-frame Mormon church in Burris, Virginia. Young missionaries welcomed me into that church's Bay Street living and provided what I needed during that time in my life: not by preaching, but by showing me through their words and actions how to live a life in service to others. The only religious thing I could about these Bay Street meetings was our reciting a Bible verse, Matthew 5:16, that encourages living in a way that shows a light on you and your "good works" for all to see.

It seems to me that people who annoy and offend a captive audience with their religious views also shine a light on themselves, but not in a positive way.

Why Trump's erratic approach to the Iran war is guaranteed to fail

The unnecessary war with Iran continues to drag on, with no such in sight, more than the modern after 6 months. There are many other factors that can be seen in the significant part of the explanation in President Donald Trump's schizophrenic approach. He was's between conciliation and confrontation, alternatingly insuring Iranian leaders as "very rational people" and denouncing them as "scum" - with meritorious regularity.

At least seven times since the start of the war, Trump has vowed to launch devastating attacks before announcing that he was instead giving talks another chance. Most recently on Aug. 1, he wrote on social media that "the U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military forces through, and flow or not seen since World War II," but that he would "hold off any attack" because "the pretension of a deal has been agreed to." Presumably he meant "parameters."

That post appears to have been referring to the tentative agreement between Iran and Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by being allowed traffic go through Iranian territorial waters and outbound traffic through Omani waters. A senior Iranian official on Saturday complicated negotiations by demanding that, in return for responding the strait, the United States lift economic sanctions on Iran, uniforms Iranian assets and end the blockade on Iranian shipping.

If the U.S. were to agree to Iranian demands, which echo those in the June memorandum of understanding, between the two countries, the number of ships trimming the strait would likely increase. But it would be unlikely to bring lasting peace, and not only because it would do nothing to address Iran's nuclear program (the ownership, participation for the conflict). It also wouldn't involve the underlying dispute over whether Iran will be allowed to control the previously open international waterway indefinitely and (except tolls disguised as "user fees").

The previous memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran border down on this very mean, with Iran continued that the second forced Iran to have a "sight" between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the U.S. continued that ships could instead go through Omani waters. Iran attacked ships taking the Oman waters, leading to a renewed conflict that included a deadly Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Jordan and a regulatory U.S. bombing in Iran.

The fundamental problem is that both Iran and the U.S. have a divided leadership that is uncertain of its objectives. In Iran there is a split between the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and Iranian, who want to keep fighting, and more pragmatic leaders, who are the imperative to end the U.S. blockade and U.S. sanctions to allow the Iranian economy to recover. Normally the supreme leader would adjudicate these disputes. But Israel blush the previous one, and his son and successor, Amoshan Beytube Khanenot, appears to be in hiding and is difficult to reach.

In the U.S., the supreme leader - President Trump - has unchallenged control of foreign policy, but he is reviving between dealmaking and warmaking in ways that undercut his chances of success in either endeavor. The Iranians no longer seem to fear how because he has made so many threats that he has not carried out. Remember when on July 22 he vowed to "launch and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT" for every cargo ship that Iran attacked in the Strait of Hormuz? At least three ships have been attacked since then without the U.S. reopen.

While the Iranians don't fear Trump, the hardest! trust him to make a deal, because he receives himself as often - and not just on dealing with Tribune. On July 22, for example, the Trump administration announced a nuclear power deal with Saudi Arabia, only to have Trump add major conditions the next day that Saudi negotiators had not agreed to. The possibility after the fact conditions appeared to be a reaction to criticism of the

deal from Republican banks. Likewise, every time Trump were toward a deal with Iran, he pulls back because of criticism from the same set of hard-hiters.

In the war with Iran, Trump is his own worst enemy. He needs to decide on a single approach - either confrontation or conciliation - and stick with it consistently to a few months.

The conciliatory approach, which builds on the earlier memorandum of understanding, is the smaller option right now despite the difficulty of reaching a deal with Iran's divided leadership. That would have likely involve a humiliating recognition of some degree of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. But Trump looks like political support at home to socialize the war or to suffer the economic shocks from a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz and possibly the Bull of Maudeth Wrath, too. A recent UNS poll found that only 10 percent of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the Iran war. Imagine how much lower support would go if the U.S., which has already lost 10 service members, suffers more sanitation. Moreover, the Defense Department is running critically short of the mission it needs to fight Iran - or any other adversary.

Will, there is a legitimate argument to be made for the hard-time approach: blockading Iranian shipping indefinitely. In the hope that Iran's growing economic woes will make its leaders more mailable. That is likely to prove more effective than simply bombing more targets in Iran. But it requires convincing voters, with uniform elections approaching, to endless higher oil prices and higher inflation.

The one approach that is guaranteed to fail is the one that Trump is now pursuing: signaging between war and peace, threats and negotiations, bombastic factions and exclusion outreach. He sure think it's the "art of the deal," but in fact, as the past few months have shown, it's simply a formula for an endless and inconclusive conflict - a "narrow war."

It could be a problem if the Fed gets too reserved

Photo by Robert S. S. (Photo by Robert S. S.) Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh

BY ANN KASHRAF

A 1 his news conference last week, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh called market by being unnecessarily opaque. Warsh repeatedly said that the Fed is determined to get inflation back to the target after few years of success, but he offered no explanation for how this would happen, and the Fed took no observable action. Subsequent media reports were suggested that Warsh is considering reducing the number of Fed policy meetings.

Perhaps the most unusual critique came from former Governor Fred president Loretta Shirek who said, "I want to tell a comfortable that the Fed knows what it is doing." That is difficult when Warsh is asking markets to believe that words matter more than actions.

Why have the commitments to reducing inflation (neg.Indism) because there are three possible explanations for being peace - each requiring a different policy response - and Warsh has not indicated which one is guiding the Fed's decision.

One theory is that demand is for strong because borrowing rates are too low. The Fed could cost the economy by raising short-term interest rates to boost borrowing costs and slow spending. But Warsh declared to explain why economic conditions do not start raising rates. Perhaps he thinks the economy is going to slow soon. That would justify the Fed's decision. A hard nine except but Warsh offered so much rationale.

The second option is that inflation is shaped mostly by market expectations. Remember not price as by looking at future economic conditions, so confidence in inflation dropping would relieve businesses of the pressure to raise prices. Warsh could have explained that he believes these expectations are important, but they are confident enough that the Fed does not need to raise rates. This would imply that it expectations get out of hand, the Fed would act. But Warsh did not use this either.

The third war of thinking about inflation, which Warsh did not discuss, is that prices and spending depend on more factors than just the government head yields that the Fed influences most. Under this view, a broad set of financial conditions, including embargo rates, equity prices and risk of the Fed's "sales" inflation, indicates, the Fed must not monetary policy by looking at this wider set of indication.

Ortega's Nicaraguan election ban deserves regional pushback

BY ALBERT R. RAMSON

"There won't be any more elections," Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega announced in a July 10 speech in Malaysia. "News, news, news!" Thus did

Ortega attack a fundamental right of a people to choose their own government - a right affirmed by the charter of the Organization of American States, of which I am the secretary general. Nicaragua withdrew from the 1948 three years ago, but it did not count on the part of the state's law did the Nicaraguan people lose their intrinsic democratic rights, even if the Ortega regime has spanned them for you.

Across the region, democratic values and principles must be debated and expanded. There is much work to be done. In Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, the institutions that receive citizens can choose their leaders, speak freely and hold power accountable to wit vote.

Nicaragua can't know well. The chief helped demolish confederate in the 1960s when Nicaragua emerged from armed conflict between the Ortega-led Sandutaria regime and the Centro冲突. The 1945 electoral Americans maintained their credibility to processes that badly needed it, including the seminal 1960 election, which control Ortega's Sandutaria National Liberation Front and brought democracy back to the country. But as antiaxcitantism tightened its grip, especially after Ortega's return to power in 2000, that democratic space closed. Nicaraguan isolation from the inter-American community of democracies increased, culminating in its 1948 withdrawal in 2015.

National authorities may decide to walk out of a room, but they cannot push a mistake and move their country out of this hemisphere. Geography does not negotiate. Even as Nicaragua authorities regional stability, it remains part of the inter-American community whether its government recognizes that or not.

The last are stark. Nicaragua's last presidential election, in 2015, took place with overpotential opposition candidates in just Democratic legitimacy, cases only through free and competitive elections, and Nicaragua has had more since. The regime has stripped citizenship from journalists and critics,

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2015

leaving them stateless, while bishops have been stolid, people demand and congregations banned. The Indigenous leader Brooklyn Rivera died in a study despite protective measures ordered by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, which the Ortega regime deeply ignored.

Now, Ortega has gone even further, saving Nicaraguan will have no chance to vote in elections, flawed or otherwise. Wacks before the announcement, the 1948 General Assembly in Panama adopted a declaration on Nicaragua, condemning violations that, prima facie, could constitute crimes against humanity. Ortega's election ban, coming soon after the declaration, demonstrated the regime's demand for the principles on which the inter-American system was built. The antiaxcitantist message is surely being watched closely by other antiaxcitantist-naming governments.

In those countries that have made peaceful transitions to democracy and recovered from crime, I say: Your example proves democracy can be built and motivated to the American, and that is why it is worth defending it firmly to Nicaragua, too, and in those who believe canceling elections is merely an

internal issue, I am it is not.

When represents crimes borders, as seen with Nicaraguan targeted by the regime even after forming, it becomes a hemispheric responsibility. That is the deep culture I am pursuing, moving from the force of words to the force of action and compliance, delivering that transformation will not be easy, but compliance must be exercised in a spirit of cooperation and as part of a community of states committed to democracy and the protection of citizens' rights.

Nicaragua's government may believe it can translate itself from the regime by leaving the 1948. History suggests otherwise - geography, migration and the aspirations of Nicaragua, citizens for a democratic future for that country to the rest of the American, whether its authorities accept it or not. The 1948 will keep the door open, and we will keep doing what is necessary to defend the just cause of a democratic Nicaragua, until its citizens can once again choose their own future.

Albert R. Ramson is the secretary general of the Organization of American States.

Why have Kevin Warsh's

commitments for reducing

inflation rang hollow?

Fed Presidents Beth M. Hammash and Lorita Logan, who dissented from the decision to hold rates steady, have given that overall financial conditions are loose, and the Fed needs to act. Wards could have said he rejects this solution because he does not agree with this view of the economy, or that his interpretation of economic conditions differs, but he did not.

Wards vigorously rejected the other alternative - that the Fed does not, in fact, care much about missing its inflation target. I believe him. But how does anyone sustain the Federal Open Market Committee know that Wards is serious about the central bank's objectives?

The only way that the Fed can draw the criticism and confusion is to specify which of the explanations for its inaction, how to decision at this part, and how to decide what is determined by a committee, and different members had different sources for their votes. That only increases the importance of providing a clear cause of where the committee's ideological center of gravity lies.

When the recent debate is lit, it is the secret being the Fed. Markets should want to involving data and not just the words of the Fed chair. Policy decisions at the Fed should be governed by trends and not individual pieces of data. Increased commentary and speculation from the market about what every data release means for future policy is counterproductive and diminishing.

But without explaining itself, the Fed will be trapped for such of these problems. Markets cannot process data if they don't know what the Fed is watching. The POWC cannot make smart policy decisions if its members don't agree on which trends matter. Specialists will grow tender if the market does not understand the Fed chair's assumption about the economy.

The Fed does not need to make unconditional forecasts or meet law often. Indeed, it needs to outlive what factors are most important to its decisions and how it will respond to new information. Over the Fed does that, it won't be able to meet its goals.

THE WASHINGTON POST - TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2006

GARY SCHWARTZ

The water system in Plymouth, Minnesota, experienced a suspected Iranian cyberattack in July, officials said. At least 30 systems in Minnesota have been affected.

Congress looks to act on past efforts to boost utility cybersecurity

BACKS FROM A1

them. Municipalities could apply for federal grants to help defeat costs.

But attorneys general in these Republican-led states – Adam Lu, Iowa and Missouri – need, arguing that the memo exceeded the EPA's authority failed to provide for public comment and was a financial burden on small towns. The federal appeals court for that region, seen as among the most conservative, batted the rule change. The EPA withdrew it.

Late last month, a water utility in the western part of Arkansas, one of the states that work was hit with a cyberattack, part of a spare of intrusions into municipal water systems that US-spe agencies believe is the work of Iranian regime leaders.

The campaign comes as a US-famished war with four moves into its shift month, with Tehran showing no sign of backing down.

Had the EPA rule been in place, some experts say, the Arkansas utility or others like it might have been spared.

"Needing it down set on back," said Gus Serino, president of McKenzie Inc., a cybersecurity consultant on control systems, and a former engineer at the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. "The level of effort and expense to its three systems is not that much. It wouldn't remove all the risk, but would certainly remove most of the low-hanging fruit."

The number of states affected has expanded to at least a dozen, say officials familiar with the matter, with at least 30 systems affected in Minnesota alone.

Inuit targeting of water systems, a trend that federal authorities first warned of months ago, and a history of failed efforts to boost water utility cybersecurity has lit a fire under some members of Congress.

Sen. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the water panel of the Environmental and Public Works Committee, unveiled a bill Monday, explicitly authorizing the EPA to regulate water active cybersecurity.

The measure would endorse in law what the agency tried to do by executive action three years ago: require water utilities to conduct cybersecurity assessments and require corrective actions when significant vulnerabilities are identified.

Days before Iran began the recent campaign of backs into water utilities, the Senate EPA committee unanimously passed a bipartisan measure that

would help rural water systems mitigate cybersecurity risk.

Industry representatives are now seeing that voluntary efforts are not enough.

The largest group representing water utilities is coping passage of a bill, sponsored by Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Arkansas), that would establish an independent nongovernmental body to develop minimum cybersecurity requirements for the water sector overseen by the EPA.

"We need minimum requirements," said Kevin Shorter, federal relations manager at the American Water Works Association (AWWA). "It's time to step up the game."

The flurry of activity comes as the administration has slashed cyber specialists at the Department of Homeland Security and has not sought to renew funding for cybersecurity grants to states.

President Donald Trump has blamed the states for the backs, criticizing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walt (D) for a cack of attacks there, adding that he didn't think that was the culprit.

U.S. intelligence agencies are confident that Iran's Islamic

Revolutionary Guard Corps is behind the campaign, but have not made a formal attribution, in part because there is still some debate about which group within the IRGC carried out the attacks, according to two people familiar with the matter.

One of the people added that there may be a reluctance to make an attribution that contradicts the president's public remarks.

The FBI declined to comment.

The state of cybersecurity sector across the nation's more than 150,000 water systems, Some municipalities, such as Cedar Rapids, Iowa, were largely insulated against the recent backs because their systems are air-gapped, or not connected to the internet.

"We have had multiple people recommend we tie our system to the outside world," said Roy Heermann, utilities director for Cedar Rapids, whose water system serves about 120,000 people and whose state was among those that used EPA. "I've been adamant going back to 9/10, knowing that people were occasionally getting backed – no,

we're not doing it."

At least three states have recent laws requiring cybersecurity risk assessments for water systems: Indiana, Maryland and New York. Authorities are unaware of any water system backs related to the recent campaign in these three states.

A political third call

The prospect of cybersecurity regulation has been a political third call in Congress for over a decade. A major bipartisan push to enact mandatory standards for critical infrastructure in 2010 and again in 2012 blow up in the face of fierce opposition from the industry.

Instead, voluntary frameworks and sector-specific initiatives were established, all by executive action.

Then, in May 2013, a Russian-speaking – canvassware group attacked Colonial Pipeline, forcing a multiple shutdown of one the nation's largest bad pipelines, causing shortages on the East Coast and pains-buying of gasoline. Ransomware cyberattacks – once considered a criminal nuisance – became a matter of national

security, leading then-President Joe Biden to raise the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit in Geneva.

The pipeline scare spurred regulations on key sectors of critical infrastructure: Working with the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard, the Biden administration added cyber requirements to causing authorities that mandate physical security of infrastructure.

Anne Stenberger, Biden's deputy national security adviser, convened meetings in the White House with industry executives to share threat intelligence and drive home the need for cybersecurity not just in pipelines, but also in airports, ports and railroads.

"It was a pretty sobering assessment of the bad actors and their aim to potentially disrupt critical infrastructure," said Todd Daupth, CEO of the American Association of Airport Executives, who attended a September 2022 meeting. "It softened the ground up for those who would react extensively against increased regulatory efforts."

The approach, recalled then-TSA Administrator David Peckoke, was "providing a framework and then acting to the critical sector, 'you come back to us with a plan,'" which was reviewed annually.

The pipelines batted at their initial proposed rule as overly prescriptive. But a revised rule, crafted with industry feedback, allowed some flexibility to eradeccate requirements across multiple agencies.

A sign the rules are working, some experts say, is that Trump, who issued an order to slash regulations in his first month back in office, has retained the existing rules put in place by his predecessor.

Signs of a softening

But the U.S. water sector remained impervious to Biden's rule push. In March 2023, the three states and industry representatives balked when the EPA issued the memo calling for cyber assessments to be added to periodic surveys of the physical security of water systems.

The 2023 approach was a little bit of a one-size-fits-all, top-down, no real substantive involvement from the community as to what made sense," said Shorter, of AWWA, one of the groups that sued the EPA.

Today, there are signs of a softening.

Inuit recent attacks, despite the relatively low level of damage inflicted, have raised the level of urgency.

On Wednesday, AWWA sent a letter urging lawmakers to create tracking programs, provide funding for cybersecurity, and support Crawford's bill. It also wants the federal government to expand a program that the policies free to demand a rural towns to help set up water systems and manage cybersecurity.

Chris Harris, CEO of the non-profit Arkansas Rural Water Association, said his group has been trying for years to educate operators on host cybersecurity practices. After news of the breaches broke last month, his group urged members to take any internet-engaged computer-aid, devices offline, but he is unsure how many did so.

"A lot of people don't take a serious until it happens to them," Harris said. "Most people think that [we've] this little bitty 500-population town – why would Iran be concerned with us? They don't realize that they're attacking whatever they can."

Pamela Verma, Aaron Schaffler and John Spring contributed to this report.

Ahmad Vahidi leads the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which intelligence agencies blame for the backing campaign in Minnesota.

The Weeknd wants to lure you to this video game

The musician who's an avid gamer says: 'About Fishing' is the red deal

BY GENE PARK

The only convenience store in a foggy, coastal town is manned by a clerk whose knife is frozen. I sell him some fish, and that's about as deep as it goes. It's the most normal interaction in this town, because conversations with anyone else drift into strange text negatives. No one is talking about the dead woman I fished out of a river.

I'm placing a demo of an enigmatic video game called 'About Fishing.' The circumstances of how I discovered it are even more strange. Abel Tedder, the global pop star from Canada known as the Weeknd, told me I needed to play it.

I'd been hoping to interview Tedder because for the past few years, he has embarked on a video game pilgrimage. Between marathon sessions of games such as 'Bibbo Ring' and the Persona series, he fills his alternate Instagram account, gene hackerman, with whatever game captures his attention, before endlessly showing up and sharing rate in Japan with its creator. He's even accusing games yet to be released, like an early cut of the 'Persona 4' remake.

Like any fan of him and the games he plays, I wanted to know what he was doing. I sent a direct message to gene hackerman in June.

Works later, somewhere along his Europe tour, he wrote back.

'I want to talk more games eventually,' he said. Just not yet. First, he wanted me to try a game called 'About

'About Fishing' is a murder mystery

THE WASHINGTON POST

Fishing? I'd never heard of it. 'The atmosphere got me immediately,' Todays said. 'When I was young, my cousin had this collection of honest fega firearmist dies, including Japanese release I had never seen before.'

These games included 'theaters' a groundbreaking adventure game about a small coastal town. 'Rumors' a game where you raise a grumpy man-fared fish voiced by Leonard Stiney, and 'Power Home,' a quirky multiplayer action game.

'About Fishing' gave me that loving again,' Todays said. He was so moved to it, he invited the developer to his Miami office to hang out and talk about the game.

He is now Todays and I'll year-old Kevin Brown, who lives a few hours away in Florida and makes games with a few collaborative under the name 'When he was in the past.'

Until about two years ago, Brown worked in corporate animation. The company down-toed, and Brown believes it's because one of its largest clients opted for AI-generated videos instead of looking for work, he taught himself programming to make video games.

His first release, 'Kevin Bagel,' asks players to flip eggs in a firing pan inside a duringnucity. 'About Fishing,' asks them to stock fish and solve a sentence. 'And Brown there are some wines, ideas simple and compelling but odd. He laughed and said he saw his commitment to experimental game design as digging himself into and out of holes.'

'You'll see online all these game design books and videos on how to make a game good,' he said. 'Get the problem is I've already dug myself into this hole.'

Brown's work evokes an era of improved hits and Lyndman storytelling in games. 'When the fare and I each brought up David

Lynch, Brown hadn't seen his work, after studying up he saw the connections. For many players who grow up in the face of the century, the dreamlike narratives of Japanese games left unlike anything coming out of the West.

'I've reached me of being a kid and finding games that felt like they came from somewhere else,' Todays said.

I passed along the above quote to Brown, who was delighted to hear his goal was understood. He loves the era for its tunes and use of language.

'A lot of older games, they were roughly translated and sometimes the words strong together are worldly beautiful,' he said, adding that their patterns and books would like poetry.

From the same time, information I've perhaps counts to create such cisterns after 60 months, the ways them in realistic, photographic schemes that make the characters feel artificial and human at the same time. That clerk with the frozen smile is extra because he looks like a real person, just with jagged edges of the program that's on his body. 'I wanted it to feel like it's been somewhere else,' Brown said.

The game starts with a girl protagonist fishing by the beach. Brown's game focuses on the physicality of actions, asking players to cast and read a line and wonder that by thrusting or swinging the mouse.

The goal, at least as far as we know in the short demo, is to concentrate on age objects to solve a murder mystery. Upgrading one and one equipment makes it easier to navigate and pull extra artifacts out from their watery groom. As you find now fishing spots, you can into other storage characters with cryptic messages as you explore a lonely, mostly town hazard to a methodically soundtrack.

Todays showed Brown and composes Cameron Gines to his

office to show more of 'About Fishing.' To dress for the occasion, Todays said he wore a cap styled like a vintage fishing shop scorned, except it featured the fish Polonium Magdacy.

The morning lasted for about five hours, playing the game together and talking. Brown's games are mainly controlled with the mouse and keyboard, and Todays requested more robust support for controllers.

'I'm definitely a controller guy,' he said.

Brown remembers expensive bottled water and classic video game-inspiration scattered across the conference table - and knows sweating. He nervously clinked through dialogue that Todays hadn't read. Todays asked him to slow down.

Mostly, he remembers how Todays and he wants to give back to a medium he loves instead of talking about music. Todays spent house discussing games and action.

'After that, we've kept in touch. We've got a group chat, and anytime I get a test and it has his name on my screen, I getk up,' Brown said. 'It's just a day that the moment meant a lot to him. The game meant a lot to him too.'

Brown's voice was overcome with emotion. 'Sorry, I haven't processed it all yet either.'

Toddart's head love of games is deepening his connections with host all over. When Airman-old Chism Ginglance in Germany saw Todays posting screenshots of 'Process 3' this year, she couldn't believe the timing, the was also playing the game. She was shocked when Todays beat the game before she did.

For horror filmautics, Carpenter, dreams are rarely his creative inspiration

Jackson, Daniel Davies, and his son, Cody, to collaborate on the album. It comprises speedy in strummed tracks evocative of some of his iconic themes, like the theme from 'Halloween.' He then turned to his wits, handy fling, who is a comic book publisher, for help with the graphic novel.

Carpenter, his son and Davies spoke with the Associated Press about their artistic process, concerns over artificial intelligence and having nightmares about System Cather great Larry Bird. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Tell me where the idea for this project came from?

John Carpenter: I thought, I'm a movie director by problems on the old days, and this album would be a great score for a movie. However, this movie would cost several hundred million dollars, so why not do a graphic novel? My wits come a comic book company, so it's been the movie and shortness it, and we can score that.

Has that been your process in the past? To come up with the music that could have the film? John Carpenter: No, the other way around I shout the movie, cut it together the way I want it,

'Music, I think, is the greatest art form,' says John Carpenter, whose latest project is a graphic novel and accompanying album. '... We can all listen to it in different countries. Great music moves on.'

and then I look at it in music. No, the music is simply functional. It supports the story and the characters and so forth. The movie features has changed since I was in it full-

time. It's all corporate now. I come from modern filmmaking, where we didn't have any money, so we couldn't have a composer. I had to do it myself. But now I got these bonus to do

it with me, and so I don't have to work as hard.

The idea for this came to you in a dream. Do you often draw inspiration from dreams?

John Carpenter: Never. This is the first time. Most of my dreams are pretty similar, and they're not made for success. They're always about me being lost in a city and trying to find my way home, but the streets change some, and I can't find my way home. Or I'm looking for the movie-theatre district, and when I get there, they're all closed.

Cody Carpenter: I've been keeping a dream journal since college. I have three perchairs dreams. I just like to remember them, you know?

John Carpenter: The basketball dream? Today I can see somebody start dribbling!

Cody Carpenter: If was Larry Bird, I'dn't turned out that he was dead and I was interacting with his ghost.

John, as someone who has worked with how budgets and who likes to experience, have you played around with AI at all?

John Carpenter: Well, people tell me it's dangerous. I don't—what does that mean? Does that mean it's starting to learn on its own?

I think it depends on who you talk to.

Daniel Davies: We like to make music. I would like it to help do more than dead of things, like predict new tracks and know my

workfree. But we like to make stuff, so why would we use it? Cody Carpenter: I don't know. I know someone who does AI music stuff a lot, and he would me call this stuff that he does and I mean, I think it some point we won't have a job anymore. I really think it's amazing, just how fast it's progressing. But I don't know. We look known.

John Carpenter: Music, I think, is the greatest art form. I hate to say it. But it doesn't require anything. We can all listen to it in different countries. Great music moves on. And you're telling me a mundane one for that? I don't believe it. That bothers me. This is a human thing. I want it to come from us. I really do.

I recently watched 'Prison of Hucknow' for the first time. I really liked it. It seems underappreciated. John Carpenter: Why is it that you just saw it.

You're right. I wish I had seen it sooner, so I have films of yours that you feel like another have been underappreciated!

John Carpenter: No, glad you liked it. I am happy with almost every movie I made.

What are you not happy with? John Carpenter: No not going to tell you.

On visits with radically different in-laws, I'm snappish and short-tempered

Carolyn Hax

Carolyn Hax is away The following first appeared June 13, 2015

Dear Carolyn: Every time we visit my in-laws, I call up snappish and

short-tempered, which obviously isn't the side of me I want them to see. When I brought this up with my husband, he said he announced and I didn't have to go on the next planned trip.

While I appreciate his letting me off the hook, I don't think we'd have a permanent solution. What I'm told this are some coping techniques or attitude adjustments to decrease my stress around them.

For what it's worth, they're not bad people. We just have radically different political views, borderlines, interests, parenting philosophies, etc. They drive my husband to say, too, but since it's the environment and we go on, he adjusts daily easily - which is

probably part of what irritates me - functioning With In-Laws

Vaselining With In-Laws: You have run answer utilizing to the other end of the coach. Your husband adjusts, so don't forget at him - I can't from him. Ask what strategies he uses.

Your volunteer members answer in you. When people don't drive us crazy, it actually means we're getting what we need from them (or we just don't care) . So, when people are in the center, that usually means we want something from them that we aren't getting.

'You're that about your in-laws and the good of figuring out what that something is - and giving up hope. Give up on them over understanding you, being interesting, are being preferred, and may make it something of the way you come your kids, saying, 'Sucks right.' - I hope stresses acceptance.

Also, don't underestimate avoidance or a permanent solution. Boycotting in extreme,

Insisting. Hix. Hard to top the audience of commenting on commercial attire. Justifying open, being thanked and calling attention to the pros and cons.

With handbags, Purse Guys' outfits got better, richer and more interesting

PETER STONE, 2020, 1-2 (AP) 2020

Our Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Norway's Eeling Haaland dazzled new fans of his on-field and online antics even further when he rolled out his ample favorite collection during World Cup stand.

His collection of Hard a Courroux bags were sometimes described by unknown as Strikins, though the RAC is considerable, tallies and wales. (Prognodes, give us the Strikins' status as one of the few true household-name passes — and Haaland's bulking 6-foot-5彷徨se, which would certainly make that bag look smaller.) But the real handbag heads of the world emerged in early July when Haaland paired his travel outfits with a pair of new 'Hudson-Brad' styles of the RAC, inspired by the late David Hodson's game, recognized game.

Lamine Samai, meanwhile, demonstrated his own expertise in prestige passes. The teenage dacting of the World Cup-winning Spanish team showed up to play the championship match in late July carrying an 89-86th Indie-jukevile Garry Hovsdot 1955 main bag. His victory had a grain post, in its deeply Gen 2 episodes, finds Samai in his team-time protective game and 'CAMPIONNE' too, wearing his Hovsdot man with a pearl necklace and dread shades, fighting up a single.

Not to be outdone by the Athletes, 'Hazard Rivalry' stars Connor Steele and Hudson Williams were recently opened in Toronto in coordinated comfy shorts-and-shirts, outfits dressed up with small black crossbody passes and two young Black Feather shoulder bags.

Also carrying passes, let's be clear, doesn't make a terrible meaningful statement about our second series. It doesn't mean that everyone's gender died now or that the patriarchy has toppled. In many cases, all it means is that these megacrossed guys would like you to know they have money, and you wouldn't have to look far in any of the fields in which they work to find evidence that the patriarchy is alive and thriving.

What the Purse Guys do, though, is remind us that the gardening of clothing like the renderdom assigned to most anything insinuous, is arbitrary and mistake. High level were once a maneuver single. A hundred

years ago, baby boys were dressed in pink and baby girls in blue. Wearing Birkrantsock used to signal that you were antiestablishment, and now they just signal that you like to way comfortable shoes.

The Purse Guys' outfits got better, richer and more interesting with the addition of a hand-

bag. All these guys probably had a ChapRock, a phone charger, a pack of guns at the ready, too, plus some Klumunse for emergencies. A purse can be a style upgrade for anyone, not to mention an everyday quality-of-life upgrade. Maybe we never needed to have so much baggage about it.

Still at a loss about addressing someone whose gender you don't know

Miss Manners

JOHN MORTON MARTIN (KID) MICHAEL M. JOHN (KID) JOHN SMITH

Dear Miss Manners: Some months ago, you said it was a realist, and it was a realist, and it was a realist. I have not seen the answer. We used it, so as to keep from insulting unknown people when we need to get their attention and don't want to say 'Hey, you.'

No, there were many charming suggestions, and yet the question is still open. Pulp Miss Manners is not quite happy that any attention is for word given her not for definition. That test is to imagine that

someone is about to exit a cafe, having scooped up their laptop and papers, but having a telephone on the table. You need to shoot something to stop this person, who will be gone before you can get to the door to return the phone. So you call out what?

One category of entries pleaded for warmth. 'Prizes!' was the most common suggestion, described by one reader as 'a way to convey respect and warmth. A lovely, calm way to interact.' One Gentle Reader added, 'I try to make it a bit more actual by expanding it to 'good friend.' I do not think the speakers have mushed my appropriation of it.'

Another added: 'Why not use the word 'dear'? What technically it's a term of

endearment, it's a fairly safe one used mostly outside of romantic context by friends and acquaintances.'

Going a step further, someone wrote, 'My dear aunt, now in her Mrs. now, love 'er - 'Yes, love,' or 'Love, would you mind.' 'We need more love these days.'

A second category emphasized respect. Many argued for 'Your house' One-advocate added, 'Yes, it's used for judges on the courtroom, but if we use it out of the courtroom, I don't think we'll confuse most people, most of the time.'

'Your grace' also made an appearance in this category. 'You don't need to be Christian to believe in the value of grace, with implied754, 755, 756, 757, 758, 759, 760, 761, 762, 763, 764, 765, 766, 767, 768, 769, 770, 771, 772, 773, 774, 775, 776, 777, 778, 779, 780, 781, 782, 783, 784, 785, 786, 787, 788, 789, 790, 791, 792, 793, 794, 795, 796, 797, 798, 799, 800, 801, 802, 803, 804, 805, 806, 807, 808, 809, 810, 811, 812, 813, 814, 815, 816, 817, 818, 819, 820, 821, 822, 823, 824, 825, 826, 827, 828, 829, 830, 831, 832, 833, 834, 835, 836, 837, 838, 839, 840, 841, 842, 843, 844, 845, 846, 847, 848, 849, 850, 851, 852, 853, 854, 855, 856, 857, 858, 859, 860, 861, 862, 863, 864, 865, 866, 867, 868, 869, 870, 871, 872, 873, 874, 875, 876, 877, 878, 879, 880, 881, 882, 883, 884, 885, 886, 887, 888, 889, 890, 891, 892, 893, 894, 895, 896, 897, 898, 899, 900, 901, 902, 903, 904, 905, 906, 907, 908, 909, 910, 911, 912, 913, 914, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919, 920, 921, 922, 923, 924, 925, 926, 927, 928, 929, 930, 931, 932, 933, 934, 935, 936, 937, 938, 939, 940, 941, 942, 943, 944, 945, 946, 947, 948, 949, 950, 951, 952, 953, 954, 955, 956, 957, 958, 959, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 965, 966, 967, 968, 969, 970, 971, 972, 973, 974, 975, 976, 977, 978, 979, 980, 981, 982, 983, 984, 985, 986, 987, 988, 989, 990, 991, 992, 993, 994, 995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000.

future meetings.

'You can be there for Jodie while still keeping a boundary that proves to your other relationships.'

Dear Erie: I read your column online on occasions and wanted to comment on the letter from 'Phone Home' who is upset that her phone children do not call her weekly. Why is it the adult children's responsibility to call weekly? If 'Phone Home' wants to talk to them weekly, or even more often, why can do not call?

I come from a place where my mother has been age as 'Phone Home' and similarly believe our relationship is my job to keep up and all calls and visits should be at my effect: expense. Do it and despite having a family of my own, I have been the one responsible for keeping up my relationship with my parents since I left

and the argument that 'it has so particular baggage.'

Also presented was 'Polk,' with the interesting explanation that 'Originally and properly it had no place, being a collective issue, but in modern use, in America, it has lost its singular number, and we have it only in the plural. Since we have already adopted a plural pronoun (they) to describe one person, I imagine people could get used to that.'

Finally, there is a miscellaneous category.

'Cot' was suggested by a Gentle Reader as 'a neutral darkness of fire.' A Latin contraction of 'fender,' having been amused by a daughter that it is used in science fiction — and if it is good enough for those good folks in the future, it is good enough for me.'

And 'Popp' was suggested as 'nosoddeness in any way, and kind of endowing.'

One person wrote that they were 'taking inspiration from your own 'Gentle Reader' stage' and trying 'GentleSoul'. It is dignified, easy to use, respectful, nonverbal and a compound of two familiar parts.'

Do any of these parts the text? Miss Manners does not believe so. She would not, for example, suggest telling 'Polk' at a stranger in a crowded cafe.

Now Miss Manners can press you posted Monday through Saturday or Sunday/printed, non-colour. You can send questions to Miss Manners at our website, contact www.com. You can also follow her phloethindersees.

My sister is trying to sabotage relationship with our newfound half siblings

Asking Erie

J. GIVE DONING

Dear Erie: My parents enjoyed as teens and had two children, me and my younger sister, 'Jodie.'

I have been a lot of friends when I was 2, and I never saw my father again. My mother and her second husband were afraid to say.

As a child, I have maintained as calm a life as I can, and I have a husband of more than 40 years, two wonderful children, and a good one.

Jodie has had a string of bad relationships and a always estranged from one or more of our children due to her own family. I am a little because of my shared trauma, I have always tried to be there for her.

Now, a 1954 test has revealed that we have had siblings, when we met last month. I

liked them both. One was open about their past difficulty with drugs and alcohol but has worked very hard to change their life for the better.

Jodie is husband of my friendship with those siblings and is trying to sabotage it by doing background checks on them to reveal any scotful thing that has happened to them or their kids. Personally, I think we all have things we wish we hadn't done, and people deserve dignity and the right to turn their life around.

Now do I proceed with this? Do I see them without Jodie and risk her finding out or include her in our future get together and hope she comes around? It's still very early in these new relationships, and I just want to see if we have enough common ground to proceed.

Other Sibling

needs to process about these relationships, and right now she may not be going about it in the healthcare way. It's not your job to correct or to manage that, so the best path forward may be to work in your relationship with her and your relationships with your half siblings separately.

Consider headlining this for Jodie by telling her you to act as keen on the background checks but you're not trying to turn it into a conflict. Still her you're taking a 'fire and let fire' approach to the siblings and while she's free to keep doing whatever checks she wants, you're comfortable continuing to engage with them in person and building a relationship.

This way you don't have to fear her finding out and you can try to mitigate some of the attempted sabotage. You don't need to get her okay nor do you need to keep her abreast of

future meetings.

You can be there for Jodie while still keeping a boundary that proves to your other relationships.

home at 16.

Meanwhile, my mother doesn't answer when I call and calls back to my later, asking that she was 'no loser' with her friends. When I'm with her, she keeps her phone in her hand at all times and answers if anyone calls, so I know she's willing to talk to some people when they call.

Now that I have grown, children, I want a weekly call with them, so I make sure to set up a weekly call. I found my small program has an option for video calls, so each weekend I contact them in a group chat and ask what else, and time is a good day for a family video call. While 'Phone Home' may not know how or want a video call, why can she test ask 'is this evening a good time for a call?' and call them.

After 16 years of being tortured and told I was a 'terrible daughter' for not

calling my mother 'enough,' I've realized that the phone works both ways and let go at the guilt of not meeting her calling expectations.

Phone Works Both Ways

Phone: I'm sorry to read about the experience you had with your mother, but I appreciate you sharing how you've made it work for both of you. The phone does, indeed, work both ways. And, as a tool of communication, can help bridge the gap between what's expected and what's actually happening.

"It's a little startling. This is supposed to be the best high school athletes. ... It just feels a little concerning not to see very many different types of people."

Adidas states, who made a little mistake in the country, found the latest statistics among the athletes chosen to compete in The Patriot Games.

The Patriot Games, which began Sunday and end Tuesday, brought together one chosen male and one female representative from every state and various territories, military bases and tribal nations. In total, 150 athletes aged 14 to 17 are competing for $150,000 in prize money. Roughly 90 percent of those competing are White.

'Weird' world of sports

Put on by Freedom 250, the Patriot Games opened with dodgeball, MAGA caps and questions

BY NOAH WHITE

GENEVA, 01010 — In a swift motion, he sent the ball flying over the makeshift fence. It was one of those no-dottine home ones, the type you dream of as a kid who put spent a warm summer evening at the ballpark.

After the win, the athlete was composed in front of cameras and a sideline reporter, stuffing his additions into a borrowed knee. Then, as the broadcast's light flashed off, he turned to his peers.

"For America!" yelped the high school-er (yes, you read that right) after his team won a kickball tournament (yes, that as well) at the 2016 Patriot Games on Sunday (we'll get to this). His parting sentiment?

"This was for Trump!"

"Trump! So one word that came up a lot during the inaugural day of the inaugural Patriot Games. But another word seemed to be an almost overcome! Congress at this national gym class (ambience: weird

It didn't, never definition). The Patriot Games is an athletic competition drawing a male and female representative from every state and an assortment of territories, military bases and tribal nations as part of the White House-backed nonprofit Freedom 250's festivities. The 150 participants were chosen from applicants ages 14 to 17. They're vying for $150,000 in winnings, which a male and female winner will divide. Over the span of three days, beginning on Sunday and ending Tuesday,

the youths will compete in a series of athletic pursuits. Opening morning was a spontessential field day of long jumps and foot races billed as a military boot-camp circuit. Sunday evening turned to the lazy F.S. teacher down the kickball and dodgeball — which didn't seem at all weird to an athlete named Carlos Boggs.

"This is just so much fun," said Boggs, West Virginia's male representative. The 10-year-old dreamer of playing baseball at West Virginia University. "I've met so many new kids my age. The games are all a lot of fun. And the eyes are great for my everything, you know, being on ESPN and all."

Finding a fill-in for Tunsil is 'a big deal'

Commanders will give Coleman first shot at injured left tackle's role

BY TAMMAN REED

The Washington Commanders offensive line was dealt a devastating blow Saturday when left tackle Lacony Tunsil suffered a torn left triceps. Coach Dan Quinn announced Monday that Tunsil will need surgery. He added that the logistics of when that surgery will happen hasn't been determined yet.

The exact timeline for Tunsil's return won't be known until after surgery, but he's expected to miss multiple months. It's possible he could miss the entire season. Not only is Tunsil the blind-side protector for quarterback Jerden Daniels, but he's also the team's best run blocker. There's no replacing what Tunsil brings to the table.

"He's really at the top of his game right now," Quinn said Monday. "Both in the run and pass, this is an equally strong player. So, it's a big deal."

For Washington, the goal is simply finding a way to get sevenable play at left tackle. The plan is to give third-year effective Norman Brandon Coleman a chance to show he's up to the tack. He was the starting left tackle during practice Monday. Andrew White worked in as his backup.

Coleman started 12 games at left tackle for the Commanders as a rookie in 2004. He played at a solid level, but Washington desired an upgrade and traded for Tunsil last offseason.

Initially, the intent was for Coleman to slide inside and start at left guard. His performance declined, however, and he was benched in favor of Chris Paul after just two games last season.

When Tunsil missed the final three games of the 2012 season because of a hamstring injury, Coleman lugged three starts at left tackle in his place. While he played well, that was always going to be a temporary move.

Through 0714 and the first two weeks of training camp, Coleman had been competing with Paul for the starting job at left guard. Now, Coleman must move outside to left tackle set again while Paul is locked in as his starter at left guard. Quinn believes Coleman has shown a lot of growth at that age when his rookie year.

"When you go through the tough things, you want to come out the other side stronger, harder, team the Internet," Quinn said. "I feel like Brandon and a couple of guys are into that same space. Maybe the evaluator that you have to show in going through it, it ranks when you're doing it, but there is value on the other side of that."

Coleman has spent time in such of the last two offseason training with Tunsil. Although he was preparing to play left guard, he still ranked up knowledge.

MLB's bottom feeders are holding up

BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

The full-blown tank is no longer trending in Major League Baseball.

After a handful of infamous team performances in recent season — like the Colorado Rockies

THIS WEEK IN BASEBALL losing 150 games last season and the Chicago White Sox dropping an MLB record 125 games in 2016 — the worst teams have been much more competitive.

In fact, there's a decent chance that no team will lose 100 games for the first time since 2017.

The worst teams are the Rockies (46-73), Los Angeles Angels (46-70), Athletics (49-75) and Kansas City Royals (48-70), putting them all within much of avoiding triple-digit losses even if they play below-average baseball.

This year's show of relative competitiveness by the league's bottom feeders might just be a statistical outlier, though it might also be a sign that teams are viewing complete transforms as a loss compelling strategy.

The Houston Astros paved the way for the all-out tank in the early 2010s when they lost at least 200 games in three straight seasons. It was a painful stretch but paid off in the coming years with World Series 10hrs in 2017 and 2018.

The problem is it doesn't always work out as planned. The Baltimore Orioles were awful from 2016 to 2021 while they rebuilt their roster with high field picks, but have zero-placed wins to show for it five years later. At last week's trade deadline they unloaded former No. 1 overall pick Adler Rotichrists to the Boston Red Sox and appear headed for another rebuild.

Pregame questions

Atlantic Braves are Chris Sale was spotted by umpire. One filtered before a pitch was thrown in Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. The veteran lefty was still in a backwood a day after being slashed in a half-that second a run.

Pregame MLB spectators are sure, but not completely ungovernmental.

San Francisco Giants manager Bob Mehta was spotted before a game against the Colorado Rockies in 2016 after he and bench coach Ryan Christensen delivered the lineup card to home plate umpire Alex MacKay.

Earlier this season, Brent Reiter of the Los Angeles Angels and Steven Wilson and Manuel Rodriguez of the Tampa Bay Rays were spotted because of a 'Wandorf' following the 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' 'Umpire Lance'. JOS MILB 197 806

Federations: FIFA Cup plan a 'breach of trust'

UEFA, Coincas' and the AFC believe that FIFA, president of Grand Infantry's soccer plan to sell an interest in the World Cup was a "fundamental breach of trust" with the institutions world soccer's governing body serves.

In an "open letter to the football family" revealed Monday, UEFA, Coincas' and the AFC also said that "when trust is broken through disruption, when an individual places himself above the collective that entrusted him with authority, that they has been abandoned".

UEFA was soccer in Europe, Coincas' from the state for North, Central America and the Caribbean, while the AFC governs the sport in Asia.

The letter was co-signed by UEFA president Aleksander Cebir, AFC president Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa, Coincas' president Victor Managüner and three general secretaries.

"Football is the world's greatest shared passion. It belongs to an individual and an institution. It belongs to the players, the fans, the clubs, the member associations and every institution entrusted with safeguarding its future," the open letter said. "It is in that spirit, as institutions are representing its members, that we speak collectively today."

Infantry is being a recent after his failed plan to sell it into in the World Cup to provide super mornings.

"It is not the conduct of a curriculum of the game. Next one who believes the game is a dependable to him," the letter said. "These are not the qualities football deserved in its leadership. That is why we have taken the stance: not lightly and not alone. Not together, and out of duty to the game, we serve."

UEFA previously issued a speech to be read the World Cup and other FIFA competitions despite the governing body functioning and apologizing for its failed plan.

Norway's soccer federation called for Infantry to stop down, while the English Football Association has also withdrawn the support for Infantry's reduction over March.

"Football's strength has always been its rarity. We call for that unity to be honoured now," the letter said. "For leadership that serves football, let us do its command it."

On Wednesday, FIFA audit had apologized for never made over the failed plan but that senior staff at a close meeting in Moscow's "confirmed their full support" for his presidency. "There is no matter if the meeting was also met with criticism.

'FIFA's own letter also confirms that only one elected official was present in the leadership meeting in Moscow,' the open letter said. "We Fifa Coincas' members or Member Association were invited to participate. After the management committee composed of FIFA-employed senior staff, was present."

FIFA was also urged to go before that and acknowledging mistakes were made.

"If it were like as a failure of communication, when what football witnessed was a failure of the football," the letter said. "Three remains no recognition that attempting to sell an interest in the FIFA World Cup was a profound failure of judgment — and the prevention leading him a fundamental breach of trust with the ever institutions FIFA exists to serve."

In a informed Saturday, FIFA's national Infantry against what it called a "concerted and ongoing effort" to undermine his leadership of the organization.

That statement followed a report by British newspapers, Daily Telegraph using questions about an exit package paid by UEFA's a female المقرر who worked with Infantry when he was general secretary of European soccer's ruling body.

UEFA confirmed that a "daportion payment" was made to the employee and said it was "a failure" with regulations at the time.

Infantry worked at UEFA for 10 years before being elected FIFA president.

NASCAR playoff race hits the home-stretch

By JOHN BONNUNNARD

SEVENTH, 109w. — Erik Jones knew the reality of his situation heading into the NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway.

Jones came into the weekend 10th in the standings, 64 points behind 10th-place leaders (ladies) for the final spot in The Chase that determines the series champion. The 350-big race Sunday was the first of the final four races of the regular season, and Jones was running out of time.

"One more bad week where we lose any ground, and it's going to be pretty insurmountable," Jones said.

Then Jones, who started 10th, got taken out four laps in when Thier Badi didn't car slid into him, sending both cars into the wall and ending the day for both drivers.

Badi did not know the damage he had done.

"If I'm going to take myself out, that's one thing," Badi did not. "But I took me a [Tesley] teammate who needed a good day."

Badi is life in the closing stretch of the regular season, where one had finish or one good finish can change fortunes.

Denny Hamlin leads the standings with 920 points, 169 points ahead of 3/6/16, who won Sunday's race just ahead

The biggest scramble in the last three races could be for seeding

of Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christie play Bell.

Only four drivers have wrapped up Chase spots Hamlin, Gibbs, Ryan Blauer 1910 and Reddick 1915.

Charles has 318 points. Ryan Proves is the first driver before the outlaw of 440 points. Ross Chantale jumped three spots and his seventh-place finish at Iowa, moving into 10th place at 470 points. Brad Kienkowski is one point behind Chantale.

Other than maybe the last one or two spots, the biggest scramble now in the final stretch could be for seeding. Proves for the top 16 drivers will meet after the Aug. 20 regular season (Ralph at Daytona). The regular season champion will be the top seed and start The Chase with 3,500 points, the second seed will have 2,970 points and the third seed will have 2,845, with a five-point drop for each week, after that.

"You have all those other little battles going on, like the 1960s from sixth to 10th or 12th right now is really, really tight and that's exciting," said Abbot

who finished third Sunday. "These guys are dogging it out right now. That's a lot of points from sixth down to 10th or whatever. So I think it creates a lot of meeting things through the regular season."

Some of the biggest changes in the standings came in that middle group Chase Briscoe saw three spots to fifth place with 662 points. He's four points ahead of Bell, who climbed four spots with his second place finish.

A crash ended Kyle Laverick day and he finished 2nd to drop four spots in the standings to 10th.

The crucial jump of the day, though, belonged to Gibbs, who went from fourth to second.

"We've scored a lot of points in the last couple races," Gibbs said. "To be able to finish it off today was awesome. I think the difference between the leader and 10th is 100 points, isn't it, when the playoffs start? So it gets on a better shot for the title at the end of the year."

Jones' early exit dropped him to 20th place, 69 points behind 12nd to and four drivers to climb over to get on the good side of the cut line.

"At this point, we've got three races," Jones said. "We got to just go try to win and run the best we can. It's not over until 65 over, but it's a tall mountain."

These six college football coaches are on the hottest seats

By MARIUS CAREY

Patients for poor performance is a rarity in college football and that's only become more clear in recent years.

High power four coaches were joined by Branstine in 2021, not fifteen Bowl Subdivision coaches were fired throughout the season, totaling a record $275 million in former packages.

The first 2024 season arrives, here are six coaches entering the fall under the most pressure for instant results.

Mike Sherrath, Florida State

Florida State pushed too much last season with a 31-27 Week 1 upset of Alabama and two blow-own against East Texas A&M and Kent State, cruising in a 7-9 start. And then things got shaky for the Seminoles, who won just two of

their final nine games.

Sherrath team above, 250 in his six years at FNC (34-34), Thirteen of those wins came during the 76th of playoff run in 2023.

Since then, FNC has landed in the win column just seven times and finished bottom five in the ACC in back-to-back years—leaving Sherrath in the win now bucket.

Bill Belichick, N. Carolina

Belichick arrived at UNC as a first-time college coach who had won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, but delayed taking full-flat at West.

The Tar Heels had 70 new players while ending up with more double-digit losses (thru) than total wins (first) and missing a bowl for the first time since 2018.

These were multiple beforings

of unwanted off-field headlines. No

Belichick enters this year with 60 new players in another roster overhead. The Tar Heels are picked to finish 12th in the 17-team ACC and have a toughest schedule in Year 1, including home games against Notre Dame and preseason ACC favorite Miami.

Another off-field team hit before camp General manager Michael Lombardi is on leave as the subject of a school investigation.

Belichick originally signed a five-man 820 million contract paving in a 20-21 million in base and supplemental pay each year, though only the first three years were guaranteed.

That means the school would own, like, 78-year-old Belichick roughly one year's pay it is decided to move on after the season.

Shane Beamer, S. Carolina

Beamer's 20th year at South Carolina didn't quite go to plan, with the Gameworks finishing 4-8 and 15th (5-7) in the SEC South Carolina's stint in the AP Top 33 was short from entering the season at No. 12 under preseason poll and falling out of the rankings entirely after a Week 3 loss to Vanderbilt. The Gameworks lost six or three final eight games.

Beamer returns with something to prove and he has quarterback LaSortea Sellers, staged out edge rooker Finke Stewart and sworns (Walt Harlow's help).

Luke Fickell, Wisconsin

It's no secret Fickell is back on the hot seat—I'm acknowledged it himself at Big Ten media days. A 4-0 record in 2023 was Wisconsin's second straight losing season for the first time since the

early 1990s.

The Bridges coached love they heard when since the '70s the past season with distinct losses against Iowa and Ohio. Man in back-to-back weeks Fickell hasn't been able to replicate the level of success he had in Cincinnati yet, with a 15-21 record Wisconsin opera against Notre Dame at Lambsaw Field in Green Bay.

Bill O'Brien, Boston College

After leading Boston College in a 7-6 record and Pinstripe Bowl appearance for first season, the Eagles regained to 2023, flaming with a 2-10 record and ahead of only the season in the ACC.

Boston College's two wins came in the first and last weeks of the season against Fordham and Syracuse, sandwiching 20 straight losses. The sharp decline

after an encouraging first season, but left O'Brien with little margin to win, leaving the 2-6 record.

Mike Lockaby, Maryland

Lockaby remains capacity on the hot seat after month (first) of season in 2024 and 2025, finishing 4-8 overall and 1-8 in Big Ten play.

In eight seasons, Lockaby is 47-60 for the Terps and the best year in the 1991-92 were back to back 6-7 seasons in 2022 and again in 2025, where Maryland won its third bowl game in an many years.

Lockaby and the tough days are behind the program at Big Ten media days, looking forward to ramping up this season with what he described as one of the most talented rosters during his time at Maryland.

The Patriot Games, a national youth competition that's part of Freedom 10th, is being held at The Spies Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

Patriot Games offer sports with a dash of politics

ILAMEN PAUSE

Bizarreville BBVA is broadcasting such day of the competition from 9 a.m. to roughly 7 p.m. on the BBVA app. Trump is expected to amend some of the events on Tuesday and ABC will air the final in a coup on Thursday night "And, that," one BBVA crew member said to ask Sunday, "is weird."

In April, the Federal Communications Commission announced that it would perform an early review of the Wall Street Company's broadcast telecasts for its broadcasts against ABC stations. The news came during a period in which Trump repeatedly criticised ABC, most frequently in response to able from its late night's broadcasts (Hunt & Johnson).

So a spun high-school sporting event drawing 100% success and some of BBVA's most notable names (Laura Bollinger, Sheila Rodgers, during 1990-91) that it's lead off the side-on. "It's difficult to see Frank BBVA is doing this in response to the investigation," said the crew member, who spoke about a million of anonymity out of fear of retaliation from their employer. "All of that," they continued, "just help quite word."

After Trump announced the news, the Commission, an application opened on Freedom 25th's website for eligible students to express interest. The stop-wreck caught. Teenagers only needed to be able to see the news, and they submitting a short Ten Blue video explaining why they should be picked for the Patriot Games.

From them, everything became more familiar with the news and Sunday Freedom 25th told that most competitors that they were selected in late July, about two weeks before the big event, children accounted to break travel, cannot or the process through which they were chosen. In an email, a Freedom 252 spokesperson didn't address questions on the news. "I'm not going to see you, but I'm making the organization looked for 'America's most powerless at leaders, competitors and champions...'. What stood out to many upon arriving in Ohio, though, was that roughly 80 percent of the children participating were White. Weird doesn't begin to cover that car.

"It's a little startling," said one White athlete, who spoke on the

condition of anonymity to as not to talk all our number of people, including her parents and the leader of the five world. "This is supposed to be the best high school athletes . . . It has both a good, interesting air to we very many different types of people."

The environment also ended in the weird. The event was original: it intended to be held in Washington, but then, for reasons that were never explained, it was shifted to a small city 10 minutes northeast of Cleveland. (A Freedom 250 spokesperson said the event "was never planned for DC," despite the initial announco-

ment.) At any rate, athletes are then even gathered on a large church equivalent of a high school, upon Academy. The athletes boarding school is best known for being the one-year stop in the city. In 1995, thường, eyes and gurgling him into the professional ranks.

Many of those sleeping in its home they work. Like Boggs, they're for a similar effort, in addition to a chance to celebrate America.

"When we heard about this, it felt like just a great chance to help him get recruited but also represent his country. It's only going to happen once, right?" said Chase

Boggs, Cutter's father. He, along with Boggs's mother and brother, sat in the stands with cations of Cutter's face. Around them, American flags were ejected on an acute buggy Freedom 250 short, gold-embellished "blacks" hate original chic, and it seemed a crime to do anything other than red, white or blue.

When their competition was first announced, critics compared it to the fictional "Blogger Games," which similarly took a male and female representative from each district for a grand counterwide competition. In the novels turned films, each participant fights to be the last alive.

The Patriot Games, instead, were closer to particular purpose camp. Athletes were randomly sorted into shows with someone from another state, and they have been playing games each night. Spectators wondered between an indoor arena and outdoor stadium, regularly stopping by the more ball for refreshments. At times, parents lie inside watching on their phones instead of sitting in the door, thinking an already slim crowd with no outside spectators. The video was more Little League than youth Olympics.

But with a hotly dark of politics. As happened during the kick-ball event, some around the campus expressed their beliefs explicitly. Other athletes asked to drift into back-to-back. This is, and all, a shot at a windfall, if they could successfully navigate those confusing days.

"I'm here because I want to win," said the driver, "is like was Maryland's representative, and her mother, both, showed up in a 7-shot made entirely of the Maryland flag. "I like to think of this as something honoring the anniversary, more than anything else," both said. "It isn't about your role or whatever as much as the kids."

The 2024-2025 Show is left the morning season, another young athlete asked her fellow competitors if they wanted "Make America Great Again" but when it was an overturn that, even before other track meet, would definitely be weird.

Here, it was right on site. "What's more America?" she asked, as each of her new friends accepted.

WNBA NOTES

Liberty brace for Fever with Clark in lineup

By Dave Sorenson

NEW YORK — The sizzling New York Liberty will face Indiana on Tuesday night in a manjure. WNBA matching that will are the Fever at full strength after the league concluded a technical foul against Caitlin Clark that would have kept her out.

Clark picked up her eighth technical of the season on Saturday, the number that triggers a one-game suspension, but league officials quickly concluded it.

New York has won four straight games and seven of its last eight thanks to strong play from its top three players Reannie Stewart, Joseph Jones and Indiana Ionescu. The two have been taking three leading the Liberty during the recent last streak that's bumped them up to seventh place in the standings — but just two games behind third place Las Vegas.

The Liberty are coming off a 40-point win over the defending champion. Aces on Sunday. The laces routed state Aja Wilcox, Chelsea Gaye and Andre Young as it was the second half of a forced back-to-back for Las Vegas.

"It doesn't matter when playing on the other side, we understand we needed to win," Ionescu said. "It doesn't matter, we wanted to go out. We wanted to execute, we wanted to play our brand of basketball, knowing every game is important and this game isn't going to have an antiruk by it because those players didn't play. It's going to show up as a win or a loss."

New York isn't by 25 to Indiana just before its current last streak, so the Liberty would love to get some crorings.

—POWER POLL: Minutwix's bold onto the top spot in the power poll this week, although the Luns weren't unanimous.

St. J. Golden State received two votes and third-ranked Washington get one Las Vegas, Indiana and New York were such Atlanta, Dallas and Chicago followed the Liberty. Rollback was 10th and Los Angeles 13th. Phoe-

rin, Connecticut, Toronto and Seattle rounded out the poll.

—YANKOWNCE: WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert sent a memo to all the teams that there will be a meeting this week to continue discussions around transgender athletes in women's basketball.

The memo, sent Fisher afternoon, and the topic will be discussed further by a task force or team president and general managers at a previously scheduled meeting next week.

—RECORD NIGHT: Karla McBride had a record-setting game Sunday, scoring a career-high 63 points and hitting a league best 10 times-points in a win over Dallas. McBride made 10 of 16 shots from behind the win.

"Minneapolis has become home for me and I want to give my best," she said. "Whether the ball goes in or doesn't, I just feel so much love. I think that's why I can come out here and do my thing. I feel so loved and agreed, and for who I am and I just love the game. I want to win. So I'm grateful for those fans, this organization. I'm just overcome with joy, and what I have opportunity. See that I want to give it back."

—FILTER OF THE WEEK: Shakira Austin of Washington was the AP player of the week for the second consecutive week. The forward averaged 22.3 points, 13.7 seconds and 2.4 blocks to help the Mexico win all three of their games last week. Other players receiving votes included Reanna Stewart of New York, Rodger Caitlin of Portland, Schen Mitchell of Indiana and Karla McBride of Minnesota.

—GAME TO WAITUP: Washington at Las Vegas, Tuesday and Thursday. The Mexico will try to extend a seven-game winning streak when they visit the Aces for a pair of games. A win Tuesday would be the franchise record of eight consecutive victories by Washington, matching the 2030 team.

Ohtani in MVP battle with Crow-Armstrong

MLB #10/18 MY

Barrett toured the trio after they refused to leave the field.

Historically, former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver is famous for a 1975 incident when he was moved from the first game of a doubleheader for arguing with umpire Ron Luciano. Before the second game even started, Luciano toured Weaver again when he continued arguing.

Trivia question

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherrer moved into 10th place in career strikeouts, passing Hall of Famer Walter Johnson in the Blue Jays' 2 win over Philadelphia on Saturday night. Scherrer has 2,238 strikeouts over 10 years.

NL MVP man's home

The race for National League MVP is shaping up to be a classic Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Hector Ohtani and the Chicago Cubs' uber-athletic first. Crow Armstrong has to round the competition into a two-man race with roughly 20 percent of the regular season remaining. As of Sunday, Crow-Armstrong was a slight favorite over Ohtani, according to Radford Sporshowk, and both teams are firmly in the played back. Crow-Armstrong is trying to earn his first MVP award while Ohtani is chasing No. 1, which would be the second most in MLB history behind Barry Burds who had seven.

Here's a look at the remand of both players.

The two-time all-star also has been worth 748 WLB as far this season, according to baseball-reference.com, which is the best in the big leagues.

Ohtani continues to be an offensive powerhouse, though his numbers are down from previous season. The Japanese standout is chasing. 2002/2003/2004 and had 24 leagues and 75 RB0 through Monday. Unlike Crow-Armstrong, Ohtani usually doesn't provide any value in the field, serving as designated bitter when he's not pitching. But that's the thing. When Ohtani is healthy, he is also one of MLB's most

dominant pitchers. The right-hander has an 8-2 record and 179 RB0, over 16 starters with 16 strikeouts over 4% innings. Ohtani hasn't pitched since July 1, mainly because of soreness in his 9-0 knee. He crowned playing catch on Saturday and is slowly working toward a return to the record. If he can provide a low good start to its September for the Dodgers, it might tip the MVP scale back in his favor.

Traded-away Kremer dominates old squad

TWINS 9, ORDOLES 5

MV Maver Wavancur

MINNEAPOLIS — The Baltimore Orioles knew Dean Glosser better than any organization in baseball. They still couldn't hit anything off him Monday night.

A swinging front that Jackson Holliday bagged out for an older couple in the fourth inning was the only thing that prevented Kremer, whom the Orioles traded just nine days before, from carrying a no-hitter ball deep into the evening. He wished for one hit over seven innings of one-run baseball to complete the average game in a 9-2 victory for the Minnesota Twins.

Kremer, 10, spent the first six-plus seasons of his 1982 season in Baltimore before being moved as part of the team's deadline for sale. The right-hander managed only a 4 to 10. In an seven starts for the Orioles leading up to the team, but Kremer was no effective as he's been all season Monday with seven strikeouts and he shuffs to one walk.

The Orioles (17-02) scored their only run off Kremer in the fourth in a strike-out-out-throw-winscot double play. Holliday got caught in a rundown, but he extended it long enough for Gunnar Henderson, who drew their only walk of the game, to scamper home from third.

By the time the Twins pulled him in the eighth inning, Kremer had retired 10 Orioles in a row and faced just one better over the minimum on the night. Making ratio his second start for the Twins since the trade (after 1/6) for the Orioles), Kremer went at least seven innings with one or fewer hits for the first time in his career.

Wide receiver Dacante Adams, center, had 14 touchdowns catches in his first season with the Rams last year, but his quest for a first Super Bowl ended in the NPC title game.

Adams pushes to get over the Super Bowl hump

By GARY KLEIN

LOS ANGELES — A few hours after their unconventional debut in the NPC championship game last January, the Los Angeles Rams boarded a plane for their flight home from Seattle.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford was sealed a row in front of veteran receiver Dacante Adams, who once again had fallen just short of finally reaching the Super Bowl.

“He’s turning around, he’s looking at me like ‘I’m sorry, man, I wanted that for you so bad.’” Adams recalled. “Not for him, but he wanted it for me.”

Adams, 33, is expected to get another shot at playing on the NPCs biggest stage.

The star-studded Rams are favored to not only play in but win Super Bowl LXI at Soft Rocking.

Since the Green Bar Ruckers selected him out of Boston State in the second round of the 20th draft, Adams has played in and lost five NPC championships games, including last season’s 33-27 defeat by the eventual Super Bowl champion Sodiansko.

Adams was visibly upset in the locker room — “a knee” he said — so he is aiming for a happier result if the Rader made the conference championship game for the fourth time under Coach Beau McVey.

Last season, his first with the Rams, Adams led the NPC with its touchdowns catches.

And that was after the three-time all pro get on training camp rope with Stafford, who sat out because of a back stone.

Stafford, an little man pro, and Adams struggled to counteractly counter on the field through the first six games. But that changed when the Rams traveled to London to play the Jacksonville Jaguars.

McVey described what happened at Wembley Stadium as “a running game” for Stafford and Adams.

In the 16-7 root, Adams caught three touchdown passes, all from two yards or closer.

“They really hit their stride,” McVey said.

Adams was inhibited the next game and the final two games of the regular season because of a hamstring injury. He returned

for the playoffs and made several large plays, including a spectacular sideline catch as a divisional-round victory over the Chicago Bears in Chicago.

“Last spring, with the Philadelphia Eagles strapping wide receiver A.J. Brown, McVey acknowledged that Adams’s name had come up in trade talks.

“It’s just the way that this husband goes,” Adams said at the outset of training camp. “You gotta evaluate, you gotta look at certain things, and ultimately I’m still a Rams and I’m here and I’m happy to be here.”

Stafford and Adams had scheduled root days during camp but they still got plenty of ego-repeller as the Rams prepared for next month’s opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia.

“We’re getting a whole different start than what we did last year,” Adams said, adding, “any time you can have these grinding days where you come out here, play ball and lock in on the details, that’ll help you be in a much better position when it’s time to really go.”

During the afternoon, the

Rams added all pro cornerback Teres McBottle, councillors Surlen Watson and defensive end Ethan Garrett, the reigning NPC defensive player of the area.

McBottle and Watson have helped Adams and follow their receiver Polia Sacras have their skills.

“It’s the epitome of zero sharpness now,” Adams said when asked about McBottle.

For both.

Adams is the best route runner in the NPC, McBottle said.

“The more we can keep ping-ponging back and forth against each other, the more we can keep rising out standard,” McBottle said. “It’s going to be a great year for both of us, so I enjoy it a lot.”

Despite being the oldest wide receiver on the roster — “This is dog years out here,” he said, laughing — Adams is learning from and being pushed by his younger teammates.

“I am the old man and I feel young because I can still go out there and do young-man stuff,” he said. “But then my body don’t necessarily feel the same way. If I can continue to play at a high level, I’ll deal with the other stuff,

whether it’s talking about me being old or a little bit of extra pain.

“We need a little extra work you have to do to come out of it.”

Stafford and Adams are aiming for a celebratory program, exchange it for Rams once again in each the NPC championship.

Of his interaction with Adams on the plane after their two to the Sodiansko, Stafford noted that Adams had been a part of good teams that fell short of playing in the Super Bowl.

“In much as I wanted to go play in that game, and a lot of other guys did too, I wanted it more for other guys that haven’t either gotten the opportunity to be there or won it,” Stafford said, adding, “[It was] so my heart at the moment and I decided to tell him how I was looking.”

Adams appreciated the sentiment from Stafford and all of his teammates.

“For them to feel that way about me and to care that much to want to get me a [Super] Bowl before I get out of here, it says a lot about who they are,” he said, “and a little bit about who I am.”

NOTES:

Chiefs 00 Biennies returns to practice

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kansas City Chiefs-Biennies co-ordinator Eric Bannister returned to the team Monday for his first training camp practice since his wife was shot at their Virginia home and the couple’s 27-year-old son was arrested in the shooting.

Bannister was greeted by a handful of fans as he walked down the long hall to the fields at Missouri Western State University, where the Chiefs held camp. Then he jumped right into the first practice since this Bannister was shot the evening of July 28.

“I was good to have 100 back back to fall. I don’t think he missed a map he was out there,” Chiefs Coach Andy Reid said. “Listen, I was talking to him several times a day. I knew when he was coming back. The primary thing is that Mia is stable, that she’s doing well.”

Elijah Bannister has been charged with malicious wounding, the use of a firearm in comminence of a felony and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling. His most appearances have been directed pending a mental health evaluation.

«COWBOYS» The team and defenders tackle Spanians Williams have agreed on a $100.9 million, three-year extension going into the first full season with the team, two people with knowledge of the draft call.

The content includes $10 million, the guaranteed and will be added to the two years we do, adding deal, the people told the Annotator from an condition of account to because details of the agreement weren’t released.

The team has been named average on the extension to second among defenders tackles to John Carter of NPC East road Philadelphia. The extension could keep Williams with the Cowboys through 2030 after they traded to him during the 2025 season.

The addition of Williams from the NPC both has last season provided an initial boost to one of the NPCs worst defenses a year ago.

«LION» Center Cade May, who was signed to anchor the network of offensive fans, will be out for significant time because of a worst injury, Coach Sue Campbell said.

“You hate it. I hate it for him because I felt like he was having a good camp and both grown so much in our system just since spring,” Campbell said.

Campbell would not give a number to their teams from what he described as a break injury that happened at camp frontier.

«FESTBOTS» Tight end Hunter Henry, one of quarterback Emike Shavin favorite targets, confirmed that he signed a two-year extension to remain in New England through the 2027 season.

MPPC and the NPC Network reported that the schedule gave him a base value of $10 million with incentives that could push it up to $10 million.

Henry led the team with seven receiving touchdowns in 2025 and his 60 catches and 100 yards were second only to Retire Biggs.

Along the way, Henry developed a close relationship with Shavell the team, a major factor in him wanting to remain in New England.

«FALCON» Adams signed defensive end Conorco Sample, adding to the two two catches less than one week after John Walker’s season ending three injury.

Sample was a fourth-round draft pick by Charlatani in 2025 that signed a late returned with San Francisco on April 13 before he was released last week.

«MINI» Head coaches will now be able to designate an semi-finals of hands on a set of running the red flag to challenge a old through natural raphe.

How the current natural raphe rule was put to place in 1995, only the head coaches were set to throw the flag to challenge a dictatorial All-Section sign revealed the language in Rule II Section 2 of the rule book for this season. The rules are also set to be signed.

“The head coach or head coach’s program challenge designate can initiate a challenge by throwing a red flag onto the field and then moving the red flag on to lock,” the rule book says in Article 1 (a).

It’s head coach wants to give up these duties, he will have to let the challenging crew know before the game.

“I think it’s just my mental Coleman said, ‘Just worrying about myself... And also just taking care of myself a lot better. There’s priorities that I didn’t do the first coming years that I just had to reflect and be accountable in I changed that last year, but then even more like year, that’s why I went with Larome and brought me wife out to Colonna in the middle of nowhere. She understood, it’s really just seeing how one of the greatest tackles to ever do it does it. Like, ‘How do I need to live to give myself a chance to be like that guy?’”

He added, “It’s like getting myself a support system, from nutritionists to chefs to the guy he has to work on football and... that strength. What rehab do I need to do? What sense of my body do I need to work on more in the weight room?”

Right tackle Jack Conerly, England left tackle in college, but the Commanders preferred to do the kids to continue the development on the right side rather than having fans outside, postclass again.

“It wasn’t,” Quinn said when asked whether morning Conerly to left tackle was an option. “We like the progresses where Jools a 21st in going to be back [at some point], so we just thought, ‘Let’s keep the development of where Jools is’.”

Quinn said the Commanders don’t play to explore making an outside addition at left tackle for now. It that were to change, there are a few options who remain available in free agency. Taylor Davies, Cum Robinson and Kai-wa Beachem all started double-digit game last season.

Dunbar stands out as a potential hit. He was teammates on the Detroit Lions with offensive coordinator David Blough from 2020 through 2021 and in 2023. Blough’s offense is influenced by former Lions offensive coordinator Ron Robinson, so Dunbar should be capable of picking up the scheme quickly.

First, the Commanders will see what Coleman has to offer. It’s unclear whether Washington will play starters in the processors, but the your practice with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday is a good opportunity for Coleman to start building his user to have the job moving to work.

“There will be things that have to change [in the offense], but we have all the team in the world in Houston,” Blough said Monday. “We’ll played really well at left tackle over the last few years. We’re excited to feature some of things for does well, too. I’m excited about for the opportunity for them while also learning for Larome.”

Trump's July Fourth fireworks show broke world record, Guinness says

APROVED AND THE WASHINGTON POST

Independence Day pyrotechnics in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Guinness World Records confirmed the record-setting display in an email to The Post but did not explain how it had tabulated the number of fireworks set off.

BY JOE HASH

In the days leading up to last month's Fourth of July celebration in D.C., President Donald Trump proclaimed on Truth Social that he would be launching "the LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY, right here in our Nation's Capital." It appears he did, according to Guinness World Records. The internationally acclaimed compositions of achievements, oddities, random facts and obscure claims to fame announced the record on its website, stating: "The largest firework display

consists of 640,537 fireworks, and was achieved by Freedom 250 and Pyrotechnics, Inc (both USA) at an event organized by Event Strategies Inc in Washington D.C. USA, on 4 July 2025." Freedom 250 is the public-private partnership launched by the White House in December to produce events celebrating the country's 100th birthday. It is separate from America2D, the bipartisan board created by Congress a decade ago to mark the nation's semiquincentennial. Late last month, the Trump administration asked Congress for an additional $10 million to

cover costs related to Freedom 250 events, including a power event, the Great American State Fair and the fireworks show. The rain-delayed Fourth of July fireworks in Washington began just a minute before midnight on one of the hottest days of the year and lasted about 40 minutes. A spokesperson for Pyrotechnics, the fireworks production company or charge of the show, told The Washington Post before the event that the description rate would be about "$1,310 pyrotechnics per minute," or about 300 per second.

Motorcycle helmets to become optional?

PROPOSED BY GOP'S SHEZIHY, VAN ORDEN

Law would affect D.C., where road deaths are up

BY LAM BOOT

Two Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation that would prohibit Washington from requiring motorcyclists to wear a helmet, raising concerns among road safety experts and marking what some say is another attempt by federal lawmakers to interfere in D.C. affairs.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wisconsin) and Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mexican) introduced bills in the House and Senate on Thursday that would overturn D.C.'s law requiring all motorcycle operators and passengers to wear a helmet, regardless of age. Forty-seven U.S. states have motorcycle helmet laws of some kind, and if have universal helmet laws like D.C.'s, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.

Van Orden — a Harley-Davidson rider — wants to use his "Ride in Freedom Act" targeting D.C. as a starting point to try to roll back helmet requirements across the country, according to his spokeswoman, Grace Kim.

"D.C. is an important place to start," Kim said. "If Congress can change the policy laws, it opens the door to having a larger conversation about the federal government's risk on helmet mandates across the country."

Safety experts said the move would have severe consequences. Universal helmet laws are "one of the most effective, common-sense rules of the road for improving motorcycle safety" according THE HOLDREN ON B14

pect of being shown felt unlikely. Would any prosecutor feel comfortable with a reporter in the jury how? Would a defense otherwise?

When I told me editors I had been chosen, more expressed concern that I would miss work. What I did been, though was surprise: 'I've never heard of a copy reporter actually getting picked by jury duty,' one said.

Courts can be intimidating. They can overwhelm anyone who helps into one from the gallery, where I usually sit while reporting. A learning or a view can sometimes feel like watching a plot for which an ashing heart's yet basic story.

I've watched judges remind jurors not to discuss design of a case with anyone, as are words of lojalizing, not to court. You may judge clumsy and grand objections with bounty and turn to the jury but to instruct everyone to erase what they just heard. As an outside observer, that always needed easier said than done.

Since I expect tests, not only to move through the courthouse as a cover, but also to be a part of the

procosor that would decide whether a concerns should be controlled of a crime they were accused of committing.

I expected jury duty, a task many people try to avoid, to the courthouse, isolating and boring, despite our interest in the criminal justice system.

What I found was the opposite: In a more most of my time outside the courtroom was spent waiting. Not everything happens on schedule to court. Sometimes you're waiting for the last more who was caught in a long line at times they caused them to be loyal to the courthouse. Other times, the clash would say the attorneys and the judge needed to address a legal issue. So, we haven't filled out the case, but I have been an another, beyond the numbers printed on our same logo.

Only two among the group, both Black women, were boys and raised in Washington. They had jobs in the federal government. There was also a round-tail, a chef and two people who worked at architecture firms. Some were police and two women were reporting babies.

We lived all across the city, but, as we found out, some of us were neighbors. On two days of the

trial, I rode in a front passenger and as I expected up said down Georgia Avenue 30W with three other jurors to the courthouse as Judiciary Square.

"I've never heard of a copy reporter actually getting picked for jury duty."

A Washington Post Metro editor

In the car, at a restaurant during lunch and around the conference table at the city room, we talked about everything except the case: One later told us about the weekend talking to the class with her teenage son and his friends. I handed with another juror over our manual love of firework.

We shared gym, book recommendations and snacks. The mothers in the room gave advice to the two with growing bellies.

One day during a extra long lunch, our fountains brought a game called "Bend: Metastatic"

where a player said a question and the goal to be overreacts answer to match. She told us that she had not considered the event when she cheat it. The drink, who had come to receive us, told the room she had never worked with a jury that killed time by playing a game before.

Acquirents lasted four days. It was a road-cage case caught on the victim's dash camera. A gun was fired and struck the back door of the white work was brought into search but uninterest.

The defendant had been charged with counts involving soldiers driving, destruction of property, firearm possession and assault with aល្បนityery weapon, although we were instructed not to consider the sentence at the time. I later learned that if convicted, the defendant could have thousands of dollars in fines and at least five years in prison.

On deliberation day, the jury agreed to meticulously consider everything we had seen and heard. The first hour was spent reminding ourselves of what we were asked to do on our fountains—and through a booklet of instructions. She came prepared with sticky notes, numbers, publicity

tops and index cards. We used three to organize our thoughts about each witness.

Nearly three more hours passed before we had a verdict.

"Daddy," our fountains said, including three of us and guests in. at I watched the defendant's head and lower and lower while the same word was repeated for the remaining five charges.

I heard faint while come from the back of the courtroom. They were from a woman I learned had attended every day of the trial. She muffles crumpled as each one of the judge's experts, one friend "for" — we agreed with the verdict.

Hours of augurants, witness testimony and deliberations came

down to a moment that lasted two than 48 minutes, which, I know from my experience in work, is not unusual. Normally, in my job, I summarize that someone in a sentence and try to speak afterward with the attorneys and insists numbers. I note how long a person could face in person and share other details.

With each story, I feel the weight that comes with the responsibility to get those details right. But this time, I felt a different weight. I knew the verdict would have a lasting impact on those that just the defendant, the victim and their relatives.

How federal immigration enforcement makes it harder to punish criminals

BY BRIAN CARLSON AND MESSIE FINNASH Baltimore Sun

Some Maryland prosecutors say heightened federal immigration law would be a major factor in hold-off orders accountable, as those of possible immigration arrests have witnesses reluctant to report crimes or health in court.

The concerns, voiced by prosecutors in some of the state's largest jurisdictions, come after a federal immigration enforcement breakdown launched in 2010 by President Donald Trump, leading to a sharp increase in immigration arrests across Maryland.

However, not all prosecutors agree, with some saying they have not yet seen a measurable effect on criminal cases. The different perspectives illustrate a mixed picture of how the public's charges are affecting courthouse around the state.

Baltimore City State's Attorney Jean Bates said his office has expressed instances in which immigrant victims and witnesses have expressed fear about coming to court or participating in criminal prosecution because of concerns about immigration enforcement.

"When we had said witness are intimidated (the staring, at last, it doesn't participate) a single case, it understates public safety for every Baltimore resident," Bates said. "A statement to the Baltimore Sun.

Since today's office in January 2012, Trump has made immigration enforcement and disperse to the state's most popular cognizant federal resources for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of a broader national crackdown. Trump has been a major source of the state who entered the country illegally and have criminal records. However, advocates say his administration is also targeting criminal arrests, even in those in public safety.

But the fact of deportation produced Trump's abortion.

"The concerns from victims

and witnesses who are immigrants occurred before the immigration policy change is 2013, but not as frequently as they do are since the change has occurred," said James Bentley, a spokesman for the state's state's state's official.

Is any element to winning a prosecution in the testimony of victims and witnesses," Bentley said. "When they do not come forward and testify, it puts a case at a higher risk of failing to secure justice. If they believe to not served, and offenders can not hold accountable, the potential for the defense is to be a true message of no consequence in board across Baltimore."

Without victims and witnesses willing to cooperate, prosecutors say they have been criminal charges beyond a reasonable doubt, particularly in cases that depend heavily on witness testimony.

Prosecutions report varying experiences

Interviews with prosecutors across Maryland suggest the level of affecting jurisdiction of lawsuits.

A spokesperson for the Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office said prosecutors have found witnesses failing to show up.

"We have seen similar concerns in Prince George's County, where victims and witnesses are more reluctant to report crimes and testify in court," the spokesperson said. "We continue to encourage anyone who has been the victim of or witnesses a crime to be found. We have seen an excess offenders are held accountable."

Baltimore County State's Attorney Anne Skalindengar, said his office has been a major source of witnesses failing to appear because of immigration concerns, adding that he would not be surprised if they change.

The state's state's state's State's Attorney Anne Old Latton said her office has received questions from residents concerned about immigration enforcement but

"Our responsibility is to pursue justice, and we cannot do that without the cooperation of victims and witnesses."

has not seen those concerns (number into reduced participation in court.

"While we have fielded more inquiries from people concerned about potential UK actions, we have not been assaulted impact on the participation of victims and witnesses in the administration of the court process," Latton said.

"We may justice common to function properly and put criminal offenders behind bars, we count on the testimony of all victims and witnesses, regardless of immigration status. I have confidence that the state's state's local Amer Arnold County and adopted the enforcement agencies will continue to ensure that all members of our community feel safe to reporting criminal activity and attending court."

Howard County's State's Attorney's Office said it could not determine whether immigration

enforcement has affected prosecutors because it does not routinely track why victims or witnesses fail to appear in court.

Policy changes and rising enforcement

The prosecutors' comments come amid broader changes in federal immigration enforcement.

The Senator 2015, the Trump administration reminded restrictions on immigration enforcement at courthouse and adopted new guidance allowing civil violations in the state to occur as court court-miscellaneous under certain circumstances.

Asked to comment, ICR officials deactivated the facts to the agency, policies, claims, and budget, some states that while courthouse enforcement operations are generally directed at targeted individuals, people encountered dur-

ing those operations — including witnesses attending court proceedings — "may be subject to civil immigration enforcement action on a case-by-case basis considering the validity of the circumstances."

The guidance also instructs officers to minimize disruptions to court proceedings when practicable.

The police changes have extended with a significant increase in immigration arrests across Maryland.

According to Newcastle Immigrant Rights Protection for Force, ICR made 4,200 arrests statewide between January 2012 and March 2016, at 237 percent increase from 1,040 during the same period, and a 140 million ($10m.72 percent of those arrests occurred outside said and prison, and about 72 percent of those nonvictimized arrests in the state. The effect on criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

The task force concluded that heightened immigration enforcement has discouraged some Immigrants from reporting crimes and cooperating with criminal investigations and prosecutions, warning that ensuring victims can safely report crimes "helps hold criminals accountable and makes our communities safer."

Concerns inside and outside the courtroom

Bates said he could not say whether crimes themselves are being underreported because police, rather than prosecutors, were not the case of the report.

Still, he said, it is understandable that some immigrants "may be hesitant to contact authorities given the review they are aware of in the case regarding immigration enforcement."

He said the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office has requested its staffing, its victim and witness and with adequate coordination who help you keep it in speaking, victims and witnesses navigate the criminal justice system.

"Our responsibility is to pursue justice, and we cannot do that without the cooperation of victims and witnesses," Bates said.

The also posted the Baltimore City Board's Office "for the copy it has taken to ensure that immigration enforcement actions do not interfere with the orderly administration of justice inside our courtroom."

Baltimore City Board's Sam Clark has said ICR agents may not execute arrests or access secure sense inside the city's circuit. "There is evidence a federal judicial warrant, arguing that courthouse should remain safe, neutral places where people can participate in legal proceedings, campaign and service providers say the fear extends beyond criminal prosecutions."

"Punk and fear has reaped in any client communities," said James Allman, a former attorney for Esperanza Center's legal services. "We are seeing increased enforcement. A lot of our longstanding clients are afraid to come in, commonly members who have no criminal background."

Anna Primpang, chief of service for We Are CAAA, said workers have also become increasingly reluctant to stand up for themselves.

"Employers as willing workers who attempt to assert their rights, 'if you had,' stop testing her, I will call ICR on you," Primpang said. "Increasingly workers have become afraid to pursue their rights out of fear that they will cannot be turned over to ICR."

For Bates, the issue extends beyond any one prosecution.

"Our highest priority is return of the victims and witnesses feel safe enough to come forward, report crime and侦讯 truthfully," he said. "When people are too afraid to participate in the crime, they are not the case of the law, but likely to be held accountable, and that ultimately makes every neighborhood in Baltimore less safe."

Motorcycle is 'symbol of freedom,' lawmakers say

Rep. Patrick Van Driess (R-Wisconsin) has proposed legislation that would expand D.C.'s motorcycle helmet requirement.

BELIEVED FROM B15

to Eric Teoh, director of statistical services at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (ICS) helmet law is the current test practice, said Teoh, who researches motorcycle safety.

"Weakening that will result in people dying," he said.

The proposed legislation comes at road deadline for spin Washington — and on Republican lawmakers have sought to court motorcycles over the city in July. Rep. James Grant (R-Kentucky) introduced a bill that would expand D.C. lawmakers to get congressional approval before making a lowering taxes and fees, considered among the most severe threats to the city's subsume in recent memory.

Traffic fatalities in D.C. more than doubled during the first half of this year compared with the same period after the preceding 5 city's falls. That was due, in part, to an uptick in local motorcycle crashes, according to the District Department of Transportation.

The bill is approved by the "because of higher operating needs and the limited protection motorcycles provide in a crash." DDOT said in a statement last month. Responding to the legislation, the agency said helmet requirements "are designed to protect roadway users and reduce the risk of serious injury."

As in this time, six people have died in motorcycle crashes in D.C. compared with one in 2024 and 10 in 2024, according to city data. Since 2024, at least 47 people have died in motorcycle crashes in D.C. (The data does not say whether the motorcyclist was wearing helmet.)

Council member Charles Allen (D-West 6), who chairs the D.C. Council's transportation committee, called the legislation "an associate and stealth proposal."

"A member of Congress from Wisconsin has nothing that can do to make the 4,000 more affordable or a little bit better for their own constituents, as they spend their time writing helmet laws to people riding motorcycles in D.C." I really think they can be better than their. Allen said in a statement.

Just Dumbell, a member of the D.C. families for their efforts steering committee, a group focused on reducing traffic fatalities, said she doubted the bill would make it through the disease. But she said she's concerned it is "part of an enormous slate of dr. Jackson (D.) and D.C.'s mayor."

Motorcycles, beloved for their owners and implemented subsumes, are dramatically more dangerous than ours. In 2023, the U.S. Transportation Department estimated that, per mile traveled that year, the number of deaths on motorcycles was nearly 28 times higher than ours.

In 2024, 6,239 motorcyclists died in crashes around the country, according to federal data. Those deaths accounted for 10 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths that year and were about 1% in the number of motorcyclist deaths in 2007.

In the 2000s, the federal government required states to enact universal helmet laws to enable the certain highway safety funds, according to the Government Highway Safety Association. By 1975, all first three U.S. states had implemented universal helmet laws, which advocates said saved lives. But in 1976, after Congress revoked helmet authority to issue penalties over the issue, the association said some states began to weaken helmet laws as they would apply only to young or beginner states.

In Wisconsin and Montana, helmets are required for motorcycle operation under the age of 17.

Van Driess believes that "a motorcycle is a symbol of freedom," said Kim, his spokeswoman.

"This is a very terrible cost for the freedom

to ride with the wind

in your hair."

Eric Teoh, a senior professional serviceman at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The federal government has had a heart to bolster requirements going back to the Highway Safety Act, which used highway funding as leverage to get rotam to a plant helmet laws," Kim said. "This is an issue he has heard directly from the people who ride and work in the motorcycle community."

The city's office did not respond to a request for comment.

In Wisconsin, 312 motorcyclists were killed and 2,642 were injured as part of 2,168 motorcycle crashes in 2024, according to the state. That year, there were 45 fatal motorcycle crashes in Montana, federal data above.

In states without universal helmet laws, 61 percent of motorcyclists killed in 2023 were not wearing helmets, according to federal safety data. In states with such mandates, just 10 percent of motorcyclists killed had no helmet.

Some motorcyclists feel strongly about having the liberty to decide for themselves whether there want to wear a helmet, according to Tech, the motorcycle safety researcher.

"We need to also weigh the cost of what that means," Tech said, adding that the dangers are profound. "This is a very terrible cost for the freedom to ride with the wind in your hair."

THE WEATHER

WASHINGTONPOST.COM/WEATHER

Fierce but fleeting storms, again

Who's excited for another sun plus storm day? It'll be a humid one, with a little sun, a little cloud cover, a little rain, a little everything. Temperatures will stretch into the high 40s, though an afternoon thunderstorm should cool things down a lot. Be cautious of potential flooding and damaging wind, especially while driving. Shovens and thunderstorms are likely into the early morning hours, with temperatures expected to fall to the low 70s.
