学校 成为 日托中心 之选
下降之际，校园与 非营利组织合作 以扩大幼儿名额。

加利福尼亚州公立学校入学人数的下降，正催生一种规模日益扩大的新型合作伙伴关系，这有助于维持日托中心的运营——空置的教室正被幼儿和婴儿填满。
从洛杉矶到索拉诺县，非营利日托运营商认为，这些本就以儿童为中心的低利用率设施——拥有充足可放置临时教室空间的大片操场、空教室，甚至整个关闭的校园——是向那些急需婴儿和幼儿护理（加利福尼亚州 3 岁及以下年龄组的名额严重短缺）的家庭扩展服务的途径。
在入学人数锐减的情况下，寻求维持社区校园开放之道的学区，将这些在校的小家伙视为未来的学生——并且这是一个在无需亲自运营这些项目的情况下建立家庭忠诚度的机会。
“学校对于社区来说是一个非常值得信赖的地方，”Early Edge 执行主任 Patricia Lozano 表示。“如果我们能加入所有这些元素……我认为这只会让它变得更便捷。”

想看一些土拨鼠的内容？试试 (社交平台) OnlyFans，或者更准确地说，OnlyMarms。
一家与加州大学洛杉矶分校相关的土拨鼠研究实验室的研究人员开设了一个 (社交平台) OnlyFans 账号，发布在野外拍摄的土拨鼠视频，以此为他们的工作筹集资金，并抵消联邦政府对大学的预算削减。
自 5 月底首次亮相以来，这个名为 “OnlyMarms” 的账号已经发布了几十个视频。在其中一个视频中，一只被称为 “1” 的雌性土拨鼠在追赶一只好奇的名为 “G” 的雄性土拨鼠，后者正在她的洞穴周围徘徊，两者在追逐中发出尖叫声。
在另一个视频中，一只土拨鼠注视着野外相机，离镜头越来越近。
“这些是野生动物，因此人们需要知道我们只是在捕捉它们在自然环境中的影像，”一名一年级研究员 Emily Renkey 说道。
加利福尼亚州长期以来一直被认为是一个拥抱不断演进的生活方式的进步之州，但在汽车保险方面，它似乎还停留在 20 世纪 50 年代。
单身、离婚或丧偶且需要为爱车购买保险？你支付的费用很可能比你的已婚邻居更多——这种惩罚得到了州政府和司法部门的认可。
加利福尼亚州的一家上诉法院上个月维持了下级法院的一项裁决，该裁决驳回了一项旨在废除保险公司因未婚者发生碰撞的统计概率更高而对其收取更高保费权利的诉讼。预计该决定将被上诉。
这起由 11 名未婚驾驶员发起的诉讼专门寻求法院命令，强制保险专员 里卡多·拉拉 将婚姻状态从设定费率的可选因素中删除，但他对此表示反对，尽管监管机构禁止考虑性别、年龄、种族和其他个人特征。

“这实际上是一个关于保险专员是否有能力在执行民权法时进行挑选的问题，”克里斯蒂安·施赖伯（Christian Schreiber）表示。他是代表多名驾驶员的律师之一，这些驾驶员还针对该规定对 12 家保险公司提出了集体诉讼。 美国消费者联合会（Consumer Federation of America）进行的一项测试（被引用在支持该诉讼的法律简报中）发现，未婚驾驶员支付的保费更高。 在 2025 年 4 月，单身、离婚和丧偶的驾驶员从五家加利福尼亚州承保公司中的四家获取的报价中，六个月的保费最高高出 $108。 总部位于洛杉矶的大型保险公司水星保险（Mercury）的差价最高，尽管它为驾驶经验在 34 年或以上的丧偶驾驶员提供了较低的费率。该公司拒绝就该诉讼发表评论。 州立农业保险（State Farm），加利福尼亚州最大的汽车保险公司，

华盛顿 —— 在上周经历了一些波动之后，托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）被提名担任总检察长的进程似乎回到了正轨。 代理总检察长在周日晚上发布了一项命令，正式宣布撤销所谓的反武器化基金，该基金金额近 $1.8-billion，原本将向总统特朗普（Trump）的盟友提供款项。另一份新闻稿还对授予特朗普、他的两个儿子及其企业的税务审计豁免权设定了限制。 这些公告足以说服两名持反对意见的共和党议员，即德克萨斯州的参议员约翰·科宁（John Cornyn）和北卡罗来纳州的参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis），他们在周一结束了反对，扫清了布兰奇提名过程中最大的障碍。 该基金和豁免权是
尽管采取了加固措施， 加利福尼亚州山火中的 房屋生存率仍在下降。
作者：Noah Haggerty
在世纪之交时， 山火 仅 摧毁了 约 3% 与之接触的加利福尼亚州 房屋。根据加州大学默塞德分校 (UC Merced) 的一项新研究，到 2020 年，这一比例已上升至 18%。 这表明，数十年来清理房屋周围易燃植物以及加固房屋外部以抵御火焰、高温和余烬的努力，正被日益极端的山火行为以及在易火区域的建设所抵消。 “火灾将继续增加， 因为 气候 变化已经发生，”领导该研究的博士后科学家 Mukesh Kumar 说道。“令人鼓舞的信息是，我们已经确定了与较高生存率相关的因素——即使是在加利福尼亚州。”
虽然整个美国西部地区房屋在山火中的生存率均有所下降，但加利福尼亚州的下降尤为显著。这些研究结果进一步丰富了现有研究，表明美国西部地区被摧毁房屋数量的增加，不仅是因为山火波及了更多房产，还因为当山火波及房屋时，房屋的受损情况更加严重。 “这确实有点令人沮丧——我们已尽最大努力减轻火灾影响……然而火灾摧毁的房屋反而更多了，”美国地质调查局的研究科学家 Amanda Carlson 说道。她虽未参与这项研究，但在美国西部大部分地区发现了类似的房屋生存率下降情况。 近几十年来，为了应对部分由全球变暖和森林管理历史问题引发的日益严重的破坏性山火，加利福尼亚州已采取重大步骤来提高房屋在山火中生存的几率。

圣保罗 —— 巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦（Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva）极有可能是最后一次连任竞选，这一点在周日由其所在的劳工党确认。这位 80 岁的领导人在 10 月投票前面临来自外国领导人的日益增加的压力。这将是他第七次竞逐最高职位。
卢拉的竞争对手，参议员弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗（Flávio Bolsonaro），得到了特朗普政府成员、阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱（Javier Milei）和以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）的公开支持。巴西总统在党代会演讲中表示，他希望提升国家的国防工业并保护稀有矿产，并宣布“无论是中国人、美国人还是法国人”，在不尊重这个南美国家主权的情况下都不得触碰这些资源。
“为了改变这个国家的许多事情，我们将不得不更加大胆，”卢拉说。
该党的其他成员强调了外国干预巴西选举的风险，并指出了特朗普总统和米莱。
“巴西的这次选举决定了拉丁美洲的未来，”劳工党主席埃迪尼奥·席尔瓦（Edinho Silva）在周日的党代会上表示。阿根廷、巴拉圭、智利、秘鲁、厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚近期都选出了受特朗普启发而产生的总统。
弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗的父亲，前总统雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗（Jair Bolsonaro），曾是特朗普的盟友，但目前因企图发动政变而处于被软禁状态，被判处 27 年监禁。
卢拉成功地将中间派政党从其右翼对手身边吸引过来，在党代会上，他在民调中的受欢迎程度比六个月前更高。
他的竞选活动正在宣传巴西所得税系统的变更（低收入者支付更少），以及一个迅速变得非常受欢迎的债务豁免计划。
劳工党的政治家们对由外国赞助的、旨在影响选举的协调自动化机器人活动及社交媒体操纵威胁表示担忧。

帕帕罗（Paparo）的言论发表之际，南海局势依然紧张，中国广泛的海权主张与几个东南亚国家的主张重叠。菲律宾成为一系列与中国对抗的中心，特别是在一个有争议的浅滩周围，中国和菲律宾船只多次对峙。
马尼拉指责北京采取危险操纵、水炮攻击并试图阻止菲律宾的补给任务。中国拒绝了这些指控，并坚持在争议水域的领土主张。
美国表示，在竞争的主权主张中不采取立场，但支持航行自由、国际……
国际法以及各州根据其权利运行的能力。
帕帕罗（Paparo）强调，海洋自由、海上安全和贸易开放是地区稳定的关键，并表示，以和平方式解决争端以及尊重所有国家的主权对于维护印太秩序至关重要。
“美国清醒地认识到该地区复杂的安全环境。我们的姿态和意图定义明确。美国是通过实力而非通过对抗来威慑中国，”帕帕罗说。“我们不会让任何国家主导这个地区，或抹杀独立国家艰苦争取而来的主权权利。”
美国印太司令官表示，该地区仍然是世界的地缘政治和经济重心，日益增加的不稳定性及安全挑战使得盟友与合作伙伴之间的合作变得愈发重要。
在早些时候的会议上，菲律宾国防部长吉尔伯托·特奥多罗（Gilberto Teodoro）誓言，他的国家将继续“击退”来自中国的威胁。
特奥多罗随后告诉记者，菲律宾的担忧不仅限于中国在南海的活动，他指出北京在其他领域的行动，包括最近向太平洋发射弹道导弹，证明了其影响力的扩大和军事存在感的增强。
“中国无处不在……这是一个令人担忧的问题，”他说。
操纵选民并破坏对巴西电子投票系统的信任。
周三在政党大会上，卢拉（Lula）表示，他不希望特朗普成为敌人。
巴西副总统热拉尔多·阿尔克明（Geraldo Alckmin）将与卢拉再次参选，他在周日表示，巴西的电子投票系统“如此之好，以至于它不会在阿根廷人和美国人那里得票”，这是指米莱（Milei）和特朗普。
特朗普政府对巴西出口商品征收了新关税，并将两个当地犯罪组织定义为恐怖组织，法律分析人士表示，此举可能会损害企业并为其他形式的干预铺平道路。这两项举措均发生在博尔索纳罗（Bolsonaro）参议员访问白宫和美国国务院之后。
阿根廷的米莱于 7 月 25 日来到圣保罗，在博尔索纳罗的自由党大会上发表讲话，并在侮辱卢拉以及监督长辈博尔索纳罗审判并定罪的最高法院法官后，引发了一场外交危机。内塔尼亚胡录制了一段视频支持年轻的博尔索纳罗。
卢拉表示，他是在捍卫巴西的国家主权。
他最近与中国国家主席习近平进行了长时间通话，中国是巴西最重要的贸易伙伴之一。
他的支持者表示，他可以带领南美贸易集团南方共同市场（Mercosur）与全球合作伙伴达成协议。巴西是该集团最大的经济体，但阿根廷、巴拉圭和乌拉圭也是成员国。
与其父亲一样，博尔索纳罗参议员试图对巴西的投票系统播种毫无根据的怀疑。
这些言论引起了巴西外交部的担忧，该部在 7 月份拒绝了两名美国国务院官员的签证，据报道是因为担心他们试图采取同样的操作。
特朗普及其政府经常基于毫无根据的指控，试图破坏国内外对选举的信心。但国务院否认了巴西的指控。

华盛顿 —— 特朗普总统周一表示，新计划与德黑兰进行的谈判是伊朗达成协议并避免美国升级对该国袭击的“最后机会”。
特朗普在椭圆形办公室发表讲话时表示，他预计将在未来一两天内开始谈判，旨在重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，并为伊朗解决美国对其核计划的担忧创造路径。
“第一阶段是开放海峡。第二阶段将是去核化，”总统说。“而这将需要一段时间。”
尽管特朗普一直沉溺于美国军队摧毁德黑兰领导层的多层结构以及对其空军和海军的毁灭性打击，但伊朗正赌它能撑到特朗普之后，因为特朗普面临着弹药库存减少，且在 11 月中期选举前，执行一场不受美国选民欢迎的战争十分困难。
特朗普表示，在海湾盟友卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋合国的促促请下，他决定暂时不命令美军对伊朗进行新一轮的大规模袭击。

刚果，布尼亚 —— 在刚果东部宣布爆发当前的埃博拉疫情后不久，Esther Lutula 就停止了产前检查。这位 26 岁的女性在怀孕中期时担心，仅仅因为发烧（这是一种常见的误解）就会被隔离。
“这就是为什么我在等待疾病不再广泛传播，”她在位于布尼亚的家中告诉美联社。布尼亚是伊图里省的首府，也是 5 月 15 日宣布爆发疫情的中心。
但这可能是一个致命的错误。
根据联合国人口基金（UNFPA）在刚果的副国代表 Noemi Dalmonte 的说法，随着疫情消息的传播，伊图里省的孕产妇死亡率很快翻了一番，平均每周约有六名女性死于分娩并发症。
今年在疫情爆发前，每周平均孕产妇死亡人数为 3.1 人；而在 5 月 25 日至 7 月 19 日期间，这一数字跳升至 5.8 人。UNFPA 的数据显示，在同一时期内，医疗中心之外的死亡比例也从 9.1% 增加到了 17.4%。
整个非洲大陆每年记录的妊娠死亡人数约为 180,000 人。
随着刚果应对记录中增长最快的埃博拉疫情（已有 1,600 多个确认死亡病例），卫生和援助工作人员正警告称，由于孕妇避开医院，且该国本就高企的孕产妇死亡率进一步攀升，一场“阴影危机”正在悄然发生。
尽管非洲人在公共卫生紧急情况下因安全顾虑而避开医疗中心是很常见的，但 Dalmonte 在一次采访中表示，“在埃博拉疫情中，这种情况更为严重，因为关于埃博拉有很多传闻。”
一些心存疑虑的居民甚至质疑埃博拉是否真的存在；而刚果最偏远且最动荡地区的一些卫生工作人员在物资匮乏的情况下艰难地应对疫情。在这种环境下，孕妇获得的护理比以往任何时候都少。
妊娠并发症 刚果的女性每人生育率和分娩相关死亡率均处于世界最高水平。在这个广袤的中非国家，女性几乎……

他表示，美军计划在周日发动“二战以来最大规模的袭击”。
但在听取了包括沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼在内的关键海湾领导人的意见，并应不具名伊朗官员的要求后，他决定取消该计划，给外交手段更多发挥的时间。
但特朗普重申，他对伊朗的耐心正在耗尽。
“这是他们签署一份良好文件的最后机会，”特朗普告诉记者。
周一早些时候，特朗普在社交媒体上批评伊朗“极其狡诈”。
引发他愤怒的是，伊朗声称其周一与阿曼的会议仅专注于建立一条通过霍尔木兹海峡的安全临时航道，该海峡是全球石油贸易的关键水道。
“他们要求会面，有人可能会说‘乞求’，谈话开始了，而且近期还安排了更多会议，但他们竟然公开且自豪地说，他们没有进行任何讨论，没有任何事情在谈，他们只在与阿曼打交道，”特朗普抱怨道。
特朗普表示，无论“伊朗是否愿意承认，事实上我们正在进行对话”。
关于防止伊朗开发核武器。
特朗普可能仍会得出结论，认为大规模升级与伊朗的冲突是必要的。但批评者表示，他的犹豫可能也反映了政府内部一种心照不宣的共识，即仅凭美国的军事力量可能不足以迫使伊朗屈服，并结束这场已持续数月的战争，而特朗普早前曾将其淡化为为期数周的“短途出击”。
“我认为我们在这里看到的是一位手段相当不稳定的总统，”参议院军事委员会的亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利（Mark Kelly）在CBS新闻的《面对国家》（Face the Nation）节目中表示。“此时此刻，他正试图让我们回到二月份。我认为如果他能——如果他有一个巨大的重启按钮可以按下——他一定会选择那个选项。”
在冲突过程中，有几个时刻特朗普表现出了好战的倾向，但又在最后一刻退缩，同时声称他的威胁推动了进展：
4月初，美国和伊朗同意进行为期两周的停火。该公告在特朗普为德黑兰设定的投降期限（否则将面临针对桥梁和发电厂的袭击）截止前不到两小时发布——他曾表示这些袭击将意味着“整个文明将灭亡”。
随后在6月，特朗普在社交媒体上写道，威胁要“非常猛烈地”打击伊朗，并夺取伊朗在哈格岛的能源基地，以“全面控制其石油和天然气市场”，但随后在另一篇帖子中取消了袭击，声称与伊朗高层领导人的和平谈判取得了进展。
总统没有明说的是，这样的尝试将需要美国军队在伊朗地面行动——对于一位竞选承诺避免卷入海外纠纷、并批评前任政府陷入无止境战争的总统来说，这在政治上是一个冒险的提议。
在最新的这段插曲中，特朗普暗示本·萨尔曼在促使其放弃升级战斗方面起到了特别重要的作用。
美国总统在周六与该王国的事实领导人进行了电话沟通，随后宣布停止袭击。
王储传达了这样一个观点：如果德黑兰通过……对新的美国轰炸做出反应，战斗的升级可能会对全球经济产生严重影响。

平均生育六个孩子。
根据联合国最新数据，2023年刚果共和国有至少 19,000 名女性死于妊娠并发症，与印度持平，在全球范围内仅次于尼日利亚。
现在，伊图里的卫生工作者表示，由于人们担心感染风险，医院就诊人数正在下降。这类埃博拉病毒没有经过批准的治疗方法或疫苗。
需要护理的女性还担心被卷入暴力冲突。受误导或对严格疫情管控措施感到愤怒的居民袭击了埃博拉治疗中心。
布尼亚的贝内迪克特诊所（Bénédicte Clinic）的医疗主任索尼·姆温博（Sonny Mwembo）医生表示，每月登记产前护理的女性人数已从 60 人下降到约 10 人。
即便现在，在打击误导信息的努力开展数周后，一些居民仍对疫情持有错误看法。
“现在，如果你觉得不舒服去医院，他们会说这是埃博拉，然后立刻把你隔离。这就是人们恐惧的地方，”布尼亚居民、正处于怀孕期间的埃洛迪·雅比里（Elodie Yabiri）说道。
雅比里说，她尽可能地避开医院。只要她还能感觉到未出生的孩子在活动，她就认为一切依然良好。
这次疫情使刚果共和国本就过度紧张的医疗体系压力更大，增加了那些仍前来接受产前护理或分娩的孕妇就医的难度。五个受影响省份的医疗机构正将人员和物资重新调配用于防疫，从而减少了获得基本产妇护理服务的机会，降低了……
据一名获悉通话情况但未获授权公开评论并要求匿名的人士透露，其目标指向美国在海湾地区的一些盟友。
该人士补充说，沙特官员在与特朗普 administration 的接触中强调，该王国有能力防御伊朗进一步潜在的袭击——同样身为能源巨头的卡塔尔和阿拉伯联合酋长国也是如此——但科威特在面对伊拉克境内伊朗支持的民兵袭击时可能更为脆弱。
同样在周一，伊朗司法部门表示，在判定两名男子在去年的 12 天战争及目前的持续冲突期间为以色列从事间谍活动后，已将其处决。
司法部门的 Mizan 通讯社确认这两人的身份为 Omid Behzad 和 Pouria Safvat，他们被指控提供军事坐标、图像及其他用于袭击伊朗目标的情报。
上周，伊朗公开绞死了两名男子，他们被判定在 1 月份的反政府抗议活动中杀害了四名警察。

据救援组织称，至少有 44 名感染的医护人员死亡。许多其他医护人员因抗议未获得薪资而离职。
自 5 月中旬宣布爆发疫情以来，已记录到至少 12 起针对医疗设施和团队的袭击。
“我们正在尽一切努力让公众了解这种疾病有多危险，”伊图里（Ituri）Rwampara 卫生区的流行病学家兼社区调查员 Ghislain Maneba 博士表示，“我们没拿薪水，没日没夜地工作。”
女性疾病风险更高
埃博拉病毒虽然罕见，但具有高度传染性且病情严重，通常致命。它通过接触呕吐物、血液或精液等体液，以及接触被污染的表面和材料（如床上用品和衣物）在人群中传播。
当亲人患病时，女性通常是主要的护理者。在这次疫情中，许多女性也处于一线医护人员之列。报道此次疫情的美联社记者在响应人员中看到了怀孕的医护人员。
与此同时，Dalmonte 表示，延迟就医并避开医疗设施的孕妇“可能会死，并非死于埃博拉本身，而是因为原本能救她们的护理已不再可用、不再被信任或不再安全”。
试图避免 能源危机

匈牙利布达佩斯 —— 随着多瑙河水位降至历史最低点，迫使发电厂处于关闭边缘，中欧和东欧的许多政府正采取措施节约电力，以避免能源危机。持续的干旱和接连而至的极端热浪使欧洲最大的河流之一缺水，导致多瑙河在匈牙利首都布达佩斯的水位在周一降至 4 英寸左右，远低于 2018. 年创下的 13 英寸历史最低纪录。由于没有显著的降雨预报，且新一轮极端热波正袭击该地区，白天气温突破 100 华氏度，预计多瑙河水位在未来几天甚至几周内都不会上升，电力和用水量则在增加。
多瑙河的记录性低水位已使匈牙利唯一的核电站——由苏联建造的、拥有 4 个反应堆的帕克斯 (Paks) 核电站——处于其服役 44 年来首次完全停电的边缘。由于四个反应堆接连停机，帕克斯核电站（使用多瑙河水为其反应堆冷却）在周一仅产生 240 兆瓦的电力，而非通常的 2,000 兆瓦。在周一上传至 Facebook 的视频中，匈牙利总理彼得·马格亚尔 (Péter Magyar) 表示，工程师们已成功让电站最后一台运行中的涡轮机暂时运转，从而避免了原预计在周末发生的停机。马格亚尔表示，全面停电可能会在周二或周三才发生。
他说：“这是个好消息，因为在用电量最高的一天，我们至少能暂时避免帕克斯核电站的完全关闭。”
匈牙利政府上周要求主要工业用户限制电力消耗，并寻求家庭志愿节电，以节省供应，特别是在下午 5 点到晚上 10 点的用电高峰时段。尽管节电措施最初是自愿的，但马格亚尔政府在周六发布了一项法令，允许针对大型工业或商业消费者实施强制性节电。他在周一表示，节电行动导致前一天的用电量减少了 700 兆瓦，并对匈牙利人的努力表示感谢。
与此同时，邻国的电厂也出现了发电量剧减的情况，航运和农业也受到干扰。罗马尼亚军队在周一使用了 397 磅炸药，对多瑙河下游巴拉运河 (Bala Canal) 附近的岩石进行爆破，试图将水流重新导向河流主干道以及国有的切尔纳沃达 (Cernavoda) 核电站。
多瑙河在罗马尼亚的水流量已降至每秒 1,500 立方米，不足 7 月平均水平的三分之一。当局已经关闭了切尔纳沃达电站的一个反应堆单元，该电站目前的运行能力仅为正常容量的一半左右。代理总理伊利·博洛詹 (Ilie Bolojan) 周五宣布能源部门进入全国警戒状态，并警告称，多瑙河的低水位威胁到切尔纳沃达第二个反应堆的运行。他呼吁公民在傍晚高峰时段自愿限制用电。
在塞尔维亚，多瑙河的记录性低水位导致该国关键的水电站仅以 20% 的容量运行，促使总理朱罗·马库特 (Djuro Macut) 在周一主持召开了一次聚焦能源问题的紧急会议。

华盛顿州， 斯波坎 — 一些居民回到了华盛顿州东部被摧毁的社区，发现他们的房屋被周末在干旱土地上爆发的山火夷为平地，院子里覆盖着焦黑的碎片。在某些情况下，只剩下烟囱还在屹立。
在该州第二大城市斯波坎及其周边地区发生的火灾到周一为止已烧毁约 12.5 平方英里，天空被浓烟和阴霾笼罩。微风和较低的温度为消防员提供了帮助，但约 700 栋建筑物已被摧毁，约 67,000 人处于撤离令之下。
在斯波坎的一个社区里，遗留着发黑的车辆、一艘被高温扭曲的船以及熔化的塑料回收桶。

特朗普以阻止 新关税及与ICE 共享数据
作者：Kevin Rector
加利福尼亚州周一针对特朗普政府提起两起诉讼——一起旨在阻止总统特朗普对国际贸易伙伴实施的最新一轮关税，另一起则旨在阻止其政府与移民官员共享贫困家庭的个人数据。加利福尼亚州总检察长罗布·邦塔（Rob Bonta）表示，他的办公室与其他民主党领导的州共同发起了这些诉讼，目的是制约一位无法无天、推行威胁到已难以负担基本生活必需品的美国一个家庭的政策的总统。邦塔表示，新关税是“失败且非法经济政策”的一部分，该政策此前已被法院拦截。他指称，拟议的数据共享是特朗普政府针对其政治对手而采取的更广泛且非法的“大规模监控计划”的一部分。
白宫此前曾为关税和数据共享政策辩护，称其为特朗普“美国优先”议程的一部分，旨在提高美国一个家庭的经济地位。在向《洛杉矶时报》发表的单独声明中，白宫辩称新关税是打击国际市场强迫劳动的一种合法手段，并指称强迫劳动对美国产生了负面影响；同时，白宫将对数据共享的质疑斥为民主党试图在保护无证移民之上而牺牲美国一个家庭的努力。特朗普此前为其关税（包括之前一套被美国最高法院裁定为非法的关税）辩护，称其对于纠正多年来国际伙伴利用美国的各种不公平贸易行为至关重要。然而，许多经济学家已经判定，关税的成本正被转嫁给美国消费者，并导致全国范围内引起经济痛苦的持续通货膨胀。
特朗普、白宫及其政府高层官员此前还为美国各机构之间、以及从各州向联邦政府共享个人数据辩护，称这是一种常识性的方法，可以减少浪费和欺诈，并识别并清除非法在美居住且消耗旨在提供给美国一个家庭之福利的人员。
该政府此前曾寻求获取医疗补助（Medicaid）领取者、SNAP食品援助领取者、向美国国家税务局提交过税务申报的移民以及全国各州注册选民的个人数据。所有这些要求也都曾在法院受到质疑，并取得了不同程度的成功。
邦塔的办公室目前已针对现任特朗普政府提起 82 起诉讼。

她说：“没有什么可以挽救的了。” 她的丈夫问：“在我们这个年纪，我们还想重建吗？”
斯波坎县治安官办公室发言人马克·格雷戈里（Mark Gregory）下士表示，该县最初收到了近 300 份失踪人口报告，但到周一为止，除 14 份外已全部处理完毕。 那些尚未处理的报告更有可能……
关税之争 特朗普最新的关税，税率在 10% 到 12.5% 之间，已于上月底生效，适用于 80 多个国家，包括一些美国最紧密的盟友和最大的贸易伙伴，如加拿大、墨西哥和欧盟。在此之前，特朗普政府宣布将对许多加拿大产品征收新的 50% 关税，拟于本月生效。
“关税就是税收，美国人民不能也不应该承担总统失败且非法的经济政策所带来的额外成本——无论总统多么希望他们承担，”邦塔在宣布向美国国际贸易法院提起诉讼时表示。
此前，特朗普政府两次尝试单方面向贸易伙伴征收关税，在加利福尼亚州及其他州发起类似的法律挑战后，均被法院否决。2 月，最高法院否决了一系列特朗普在紧急状态下实施的广泛关税。5 月，国际贸易法院驳回了另一组关税。
特朗普政府表示，总统最新的关税是由一项此前诉讼中未考虑到的独立法律授权的——该法律与打击全球贸易中的强迫劳动有关。
白宫发言人库什·德赛（Kush Desai）周一告诉《洛杉矶时报》，新关税是一个“在法律上稳固的工具”，旨在消除“负担美国商业的不合理行为、政策和实践”。
“外国未能实施并有效执行禁止进口强迫劳动产品的禁令是不合理的，且负担了美国商业（包括美国工人），必须予以解决，”德赛说。
各州的诉讼认为，依赖劳动法仅仅是特朗普用来征收新关税的“掩护”，且“在国际供应链中所谓的强迫劳动问题与所实施的全球普适关税之间没有合理的关联”。
邦塔与另外 24 个州的总检察长或州长共同提起此案。
数据共享之战 加利福尼亚州加入了一个由民主党领导的州组成的类似联盟，在华盛顿特区联邦法院提起诉讼，挑战共享贫困家庭数据的行为。
该诉讼挑战了特朗普政府上个月发布的一项通知，通知宣布儿童与家庭管理局将开始向外部机构共享联邦“贫困家庭临时援助计划”领取者的个人信息——包括与美国国土安全部共享，该部门下设移民与海关执法局及其他移民执法部门。
一名发言人表示，
最新关税适用于 80 多个国家。上图为长滩港。
当局表示，其中代表的是那些在撤离后一直没有联系的人，而非真正失踪或处于危险中的人。
华盛顿州自然资源部发言人考特尼·詹姆斯（Courtney James）表示，斯波坎地区的山火完全未能得到控制。
这些火灾是美国西部数十起火灾的一部分，使联邦、州和地方机构的应对能力达到了极限。华盛顿州已有至少 390 平方英里被焚毁。
安吉拉（Angela）和韦德·迪瑟拉奇（Wayde Deatherage），两人均为 49 岁，周六下午 3 点后与儿子一起撤离，只抢救了几箱家庭照片和传家戒指，其余财物基本未能带走。
韦德·迪瑟拉奇走了一些后路，在傍晚时分返回。他在路尽头停了下来。
儿童与家庭管理局表示，不对正在进行的诉讼发表评论。
德赛表示，“民主党人再次承认，他们的首要任务是确保非法移民能够获得本应由美国公民享受的、由纳税人资助的福利”，并且特朗普政府“将继续为美国公民保护并维护这些关键的联邦计划”。
该计划每年向各州提供 160 亿美元 billion 的赠款，各州将其用于向低收入家庭提供现金援助。邦塔的办公室表示，在加利福尼亚州，每月约有 350,000 个家庭通过该计划获得支持。
邦塔表示，将计划数据与国土安全部共享将明显违反建立该基金的法律。
“特朗普政府正在利用一个旨在确保儿童免于饥饿并帮助贫困家庭重新站起来的计划，来为其大规模监控行动提供动力。这是残酷的、不必要的且违法的，”邦塔在的一份声明中说道。
在一次早间新闻发布会上，邦塔表示，他的担忧之一是移民官员将利用数据来针对那些合法通过该计划领取援助的美国公民子女的无证父母。
“他们正在寻求社会保障信息、婚姻状况、收入信息，”他说。“我们认为他们可能对这些信息感兴趣，以便潜在地针对父母。”
他还表示，他认为数据共享是特朗普政府更大规模行动的一部分，旨在收集尽可能多的数据，以便针对那些不符合政府政治议程的个人，包括在移民政策以及堕胎和性别肯定护理等问题上的议程。
“在特朗普政府继续违法以积累越来越多的人员个人信息时，我们将继续采取行动保护我们民众的隐私，”邦塔说。
这起诉讼仅仅是更大规模法律战争中的最新一次，这场战争围绕着特朗普政府强迫所有类型的联邦和州社会服务及财务计划共享福利领取者和其他计划使用者的个人数据的举措而展开。
加利福尼亚州正与其他各州在法庭上共同努力，阻止美国卫生与公众服务部将医疗救助 (Medicaid) 领取者的个人数据共享给国土安全部，尽管其中部分数据已经共享。
加利福尼亚州还与其他各州在法庭上共同努力，阻止美国农业部要求各州移交数百万营养援助计划 (SNAP) 领取者个人数据的要求。美国农业部在提出要求时威胁称，将切断不合规州的资金。法院已阻止了资金暂停，但部分数据已被共享。
包括总部位于洛杉矶的 Inclusive Action for the City 在内的移民权利团体也在起诉，以阻止特朗普政府将美国国家税务局 (IRS) 的纳税人数据共享给国土安全部的计划。特朗普政府表示，数据共享将仅用于针对罪犯，但移民权利倡导者谴责这是在尝试做截然相反的事情——针对那些已经在该国生活并缴纳多年税款的移民。

停止限制 邮寄 选票
作者：David G. Savage
华盛顿 —— 加利福尼亚州和 22 个其他由民主党领导的州周一促请最高法院拦截总统特朗普通过美国邮政服务（U.S. Postal Service）控制邮寄投票的计划。他们表示，在选举年如此之晚的时间点强加一套新的邮寄选票规定已经太迟。他们称，这样做会导致错误，包括符合条件且已注册的选民被告知他们不在联邦政府的批准名单上。
“由于错误风险高且纠错时间窗口有限，数百万依赖邮寄投票的选民——特别是残疾选民和农村地区选民——可能会被拒绝发放邮寄选票并被剥夺投票权，”他们告诉法院。更广泛地，他们认为宪法“将制定联邦选举规则的责任委托给了各州和国会，而非总统”。
法官们可能会在几天内就是否允许特朗普政府的计划在通过新且详细的指南之前继续推进做出决定。上周，特朗普的总检察长 D. John Sauer 向最高法院提交了一份紧急上诉，声称波士顿的法官在阻止政府对邮寄投票实施新的联邦限制方面行动过快。他主张法官们目前应保持克制，尽管中期选举仅剩三个月。
特朗普的行政命令要求美国邮政服务使用各州可邮寄选票的合格选民名单。直到现在，各州在宪法上拥有为联邦和州选举注册选民的权力。目前，近三分之一的美国人通过邮寄投票。然而，特朗普坚称邮寄投票会导致欺诈，包括允许非公民投票。
国会拒绝了特朗普要求采取新投票限制的请求。相反，他在 3 月 31 日发布了一项行政命令，要求邮政服务和国土安全部确保“联邦选举中的公民身份验证和完整性”。该命令要求国土安全部编制各州符合投票条件的公民名单，并告知邮政服务必须使用这些名单来限制谁可以进行邮寄投票。
该命令称：“除非相关个人已被列入特定州的名单，否则美国邮政服务不得发送任何个人的邮寄或缺席选票。”
但一名联邦法官和波士顿的第一巡回法院裁定，特朗普的新规定今年不得执行，至少在提起诉讼的 23 个民主党领导的州中如此。周一，他们告诉法院，美国邮政服务在 2024, 向选民发送或接收了近 1 亿份邮寄选票，全国约 30% 的选民通过邮寄方式投票。
“人们比以前更渴望获得服务。”亚历山德拉·洛扎诺（Alexandra Lozano）曾在华盛顿州获准执业并在商业区（Commerce）设有办公室，她于6月交还了律师执照并关闭了其律师事务所。客户声称，她在客户不知情的情况下，涉嫌编造家庭虐待和人口贩卖的故事以申请人道主义签证。律师和非营利组织表示，他们已确定至少有 60 名身在洛杉矶的移民曾是她的客户。洛约拉移民正义诊所（Loyola Immigrant Justice Clinic）的临床监督律师卢塞罗·奥尔蒂斯（Lucero Ortiz）表示，实际人数可能要高得多。
“这些人试图遵守规则，在极其复杂的法律体系中寻找出路。他们最纯良的意图正被利用，”美国天主教慈善机构（Catholic Charities USA）的通讯副总裁凯文·布伦南（Kevin Brennan）说道，该组织代表了全国 170 多个宗教机构。其下属 60 多个提供直接法律服务的组织曾被骗子冒充。在过去一年中，这些组织处理了 more than a thousand 起诈骗案件。
作为洛杉矶天主教慈善机构成员的“埃斯佩兰萨移民权利项目”（Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project）表示，自特朗普总统重新就任以来，他们几乎每周都会收到关于其律师被冒充的潜在报告。临时项目主任何塞·路易斯·加西亚（Jose Luis Garcia）表示，最近这种情况每天都在发生。
由于举报情况零星且分散在数十个机构中，目前关于诈骗案件程度的数据很少。一个指标是：联邦贸易委员会在 2025, 收到了 1,626 起移民服务诈骗投诉，高于前一年的 1,315 起和 2023. 的 623 起。
根据移民审查执行办公室（Executive Office for Immigration Review）公布的数据分析，截至6月下旬，今年全美已有 26 名移民律师面临纪律处分。其中 8 名是获准在加利福尼亚州执业的律师，超过了 2025. 全年报告的 6 例。一名发言人表示，州律师协会在 2025 年 7 月至今年 6 月期间收到了 1,637 起针对非律师的投诉（并非全部与移民案件相关）。该机构在前一年收到 1,223 起投诉，再前一年收到 908 起。诈骗金额通常从几百美元到数万美元不等。

堪萨斯州托皮卡（TOPEKA, Kan.）—— 堪萨斯州选民将在周二决定是否通过选举产生州最高法院法官，而非由州长任命。这一举措由保守派推动，他们多年来对法院在堕胎、学校资金和死刑等问题上做出的不认同裁决感到不满。
如果该宪法修正案通过，支持者希望到 2033 在由七名成员组成的法院中选出至少四名保守的、反对堕胎的法官。
在考虑这一变更的同时，堪萨斯州也存在担忧，即其他州日益激烈且昂贵的司法选举正使法院变得更具党派色彩，缺乏独立性。去年，威斯康星州单场州最高法院竞选的支出就超过了 $100 million。

—— 丹尼尔·夏普 (Daniel Sharp)，洛杉矶县移民事务办公室负责人
律师表示，在其中一个案例中，一个家庭支付了高达 $30,000 的费用。美国天主教慈善机构 (Catholic Charities USA) 负责移民和难民安置服务的克里斯托弗·罗斯 (Christopher Ross) 表示，有人为了支付最终被证明是骗局的服务而出售个人财产，例如他们的汽车。洛杉矶天主教慈善机构移民和难民安置项目主任乔尔·罗德里格斯 (Joel Rodriguez) 表示，今年 6 月，洛杉矶的一名男子想申请绿卡，向一名伪装成律师的人支付了 $6,000。他收到了一份虚假的绿卡批准书，但那名骗子律师要求他通过 Zelle 再发送 $4,000，以便将正式文件邮寄给他。他发送了这笔钱，之后再也没有收到那个人的消息。
奥蒂兹 (Ortiz) 表示，当移民意识到被骗时，他们通常已经没有钱来寻求真正的法律代表。如果之前提交了虚假申请，他们的案件会变得更加复杂，导致未来的法律工作成本更高，并可能使他们面临被立即驱逐出境的风险。
这种欺诈行为仅给本已过度紧张的移民系统增加了压力。数千名移民现在正在寻求新的法律代表，而该地区大多数非营利组织和公益法律服务机构已满负荷运转，且其资金被特朗普 (Trump) 政府削减。

12 月的一个下午，玛莎 (Martha) 在奥克斯纳德 (Oxnard) 一栋办公大楼的大厅里徘徊。她很紧张，但很坚定。
就在几英尺之遥的地方，她三年前多雇来处理其入籍案件的男人躲在办公室里，显然在回避她。但在经历了数月没有得到答复的询问后，玛莎决心要得到一些答案。
2023 年初，一位家庭朋友向玛莎和她的丈夫推荐了这个人。这对夫妇此前已经与几位……
反对该措施的人表示，选区划分不公和黑钱已使立法机构与该州选民脱节，而“认为你可以让司法部门成为那个功能失调系统的一部分，是令人恐惧的”。
共和党议员反感的裁决 共和党议员引用堪萨斯州法院在过去二十年中的裁决，作为需要做出改变的理由。最近，一名地区法院法官在 7 月恢复了选民在选举日后寄回邮寄选票的三天宽限期，而这一规定此前已被共和党议员取消。正在寻求共和党州长候选人提名的堪萨斯州参议院议长泰·马斯特森 (Ty Masterson) 称该决定“令人愤怒”，并敦促人们在投票问题上投赞成票。
同一位法官——也是最近最高法院空缺职位的最终候选人——阻止了一项 2025 年法律的执行，该法律禁止为跨性别未成年人提供性别肯定护理。
马斯特森将其描述为“激进分子”。共和党人批评的裁决名单还包括追溯到 2004. 年的教育资金裁决。最高法院的决定迫使立法者增加资金，以符合州宪法。
据《马里恩县记录报》(Marion County Record) 报道，马斯特森 11 月在向保守派团体“马里恩县自由爱国者”(Marion County Patriots for Liberty) 发表的讲话中说：“如果我们选举自己的最高法院，他们就不会强迫你花钱在学校上。”
堕胎仍是关键问题

律师，这些律师告诉她们，她的案件“基本上是不可能的”。她们决定再试一次，并与该男子预约。他向她们描绘了一个梦想。
“他承诺他能让我们的案件获得成功，”她说，“他给了我们希望。所以我们签署了合同。”
在三年时间里，随着案件陷入停滞，她们向他支付了 $14,000。
现在他拒绝开门。那天晚上，她的儿媳彻夜未眠，在互联网上搜寻答案。她查询了他的州律师执业证号。没有结果。她查看了加利福尼亚州（California）的律师数据库。依然没有结果。
然后，她得到了一个结果。
但那个人并不是律师。他是一名移民顾问。
移民顾问不是律师，但可以获得加利福尼亚州（California）的许可，执行某些职能，例如填写表格。
公共法律顾问（Public Counsel）移民权利项目的监督律师 Kathleen Rivas 表示，尽管这个职业是合法的，但它已成为劣迹者的温床，这些人经常自称是律师并猎取弱势移民。
洛约拉移民正义诊所（Loyola Immigrant Justice Clinic）主任 Marissa Montes 表示，有人冒充她通过 Facebook 和 WhatsApp 联系移民。
她说，她试图举报这一欺诈行为，但碰壁了。州律师协会建议 Montes 联系当地当局，但洛杉矶（Los Angeles）警方没有管辖权，因为诈骗者声称位于犹他州，而受害者位于科罗拉多州。她联系了冒充者使用的银行，但该公司表示如果没有警方报告就无法采取任何行动。
“可怕的是，没有一种机制能真正地阻止这个人，”Montes 说。
在橙县（Orange County），Rivera 向州律师协会举报了她的冒充者，目前该协会正在调查。
“律师需要举报这种情况，”Rivera 说，“我们不能依赖那些处于驱逐程序中的社区成员向州律师协会举报，因为他们已经面临太多问题了。”
加利福尼亚州（California）律师协会表示，所有寻求代理的移民应确保任何律师的联系信息与其网站上的信息一致。移民在雇用任何人之前，还应要求面对面咨询并提供有效的办公地址。
州律师协会仅能对获得加利福尼亚州（California）执照的律师采取纪律处分，但对冒充者没有权力。它只能发送停止-
获得堕胎机会。双方的总支出已超过 $12。
致力于推翻最高法院保护措施的立法者（包括 Masterson）参与了该提案的起草。
在 2022 年那次投票后的七周，州总检察长 Kris Kobach（当时是该职位的共和党候选人）在威奇托的一个共和党俱乐部表示，通过选举大法官将“缓慢且悄悄地”将反堕胎法官安置在最高法院。
“投票赞成”运动的最大捐赠者——在该运动 $3.7 million 的支出中提供了 $1.7 million——是一家总部位于纳什维尔、支持共和党候选人、团体和事业的非营利组织。该州最具影响力的反堕胎团体“堪萨斯人为生命”（Kansans for Life）在最近 11 天的时间里，在邮件和短信宣传上至少花费了 $87,000。
“堪萨斯人可以通过投票‘赞成’来结束这种堕胎统治，”Operation 的主席 Troy Newman 表示。
一个反堕胎组织的工作人员在其网站的一篇社论中表示，救援行动已经开始。与此同时，堕胎服务提供机构计划生育联盟（Planned Parenthood）的国家和州分支机构为“投反对票”活动贡献了 $1.6 million，该活动的总支出超过 $800 万。
杰米·斯旺（Jamie Swan）是一名工程师兼大学助教，她在 2022, 年曾为堕胎权利敲门宣传，现在她也在做同样的事情，试图阻止这项提案。“这纯粹是为了夺权，”她说。
立法者对任命没有发言权
堪萨斯州该提案的支持者们对“选举大法官将使富有的捐赠者掌控最高法院”这一论点不屑一顾。
“从全球范围和历史来看，即便不完美，最好的制度依然是民主，”低税收、小政府团体“美国繁荣协会”（Americans for Prosperity）的州负责人伊丽莎白·帕顿（Elizabeth Patton）表示，该协会已花费 $935,000 来宣传“投赞成票”活动。
全美有 22 个州选举其最高法院的法官，其中 8 个州采用党派竞选。26 个州的州长负责任命法官。在南卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州，由立法者挑选大法官。
堪萨斯州在 1958. 年选民修改州宪法之前，曾实行大法官选举制度近 100 年。目前，由律师控制的提名委员会提名三名最终候选人，州长从中挑选一名。
立法者不参与其中。对各州当前和过往宪法的审查显示，最后一个像堪萨斯州这样增加此类修正案的州是 1914. 年的密西西比州。此后，有 18 个州的修正案走向了相反的方向。
选民每六年通过“是或否”的投票问题来决定大法官是否留任，但从未有人通过这种方式罢免在任大法官。保守派认为，这意味着大法官无需为他们的判决承担后果。
由于法官退休和去世，凯利（Kelly）得以任命目前四名的大法官。最近，州长挑选了一名地区法院法官，该法官在 2023 年阻止了对长期执行的堕胎限制措施的实施。
“我们没有有效的反击手段，”堪萨斯市地区的共和党州参议员迈克·汤普森（Mike Thompson）表示，他支持这项措施。
报告显示有 4,100 多个确诊病例，并正在调查 41 个州的其他 7,400 多个可能病例。
联邦卫生官员表示，随着调查的深入，其他“品牌、餐厅、零售商或分销渠道”可能也与此次爆发有关。

一名发言人表示，（相关部门）将发出停止并终止通知，并将案件移交给当地执法机构。
律师们表示，如今的移民欺诈局面是数十年积累的结果。奥蒂兹（Ortiz）说，最脆弱的是那些在美生活数十年但无法获得移民合法化机会的移民。
最后一次全面的移民改革通过于 1986, 年，当时通过的《移民改革与控制法案》使数百万无证移民合法化。
新到美国的移民往往更容易获得特定的临时或人道主义通道以寻求移民救济。例如，政治庇护申请必须在初次入境后的一年内提交。
对于玛莎（Martha）来说，移民顾问采取的最糟糕的行为可能是：他代替她提交了一份政治庇护申请，而她既不符合条件也不想要这个。无效的申请可能会导致驱逐出境程序。
“他拿走了我们的钱，给我们留下了这个巨大的烂摊子，”玛莎说。“现在，我一直生活在恐惧中，担心会收到一个我不想要的庇护案件的移民预约通知。”
这对于布兰奇的提名能否提交至参议院全院进行最终确认至关重要。
由于上述担忧，委员会在上周推迟了对布兰奇提名的投票。
“从一开始，我们就明确表示，我们需要一份书面文件来解决我们对美国国家税务局 (IRS) 审计协议以及反武器化基金的担忧，其中应包括通过将审计保护范围限制在和解协议的当事方内，从而约束审计保护的范围，并从法律上终止反武器化基金，”这两位参议员在联合声明中写道。
他们写道，布兰奇发布的备忘录解决了“多位共和党同事共同担心的 l 问题”，并对他与他们共同努力解决该问题表示“感谢”。
预计委员会将在周二投票决定是否将布兰奇的提名提交至参议院全院。
共和党在参议院中持有微弱多数，而由于参议员米奇·麦康奈尔（共和党-肯塔基州）的持续缺席，这一优势变得更加狭小。
这将使人们关注他是否能获得几位关键共和党参议员的支持，这些人过去曾表现出反抗特朗普的意愿，包括即将离任的路易斯安那州参议员比尔·卡西迪、阿拉斯加州参议员丽莎·穆考夫斯基以及正在竞选连任的缅因州参议员苏珊·柯林斯。

管理。 2006 年，该州扩大了防火景观规制，要求业主在树木、灌木之间建立隔离带并清除枯死植被。该规定此前适用于房屋周围 30 英尺范围，现已扩展至 100 英尺。
两年后，加利福尼亚州为所有新建筑采用了一套野火建筑规范，包括在外墙和屋顶使用耐火材料、使用在极端高温下不易破碎的多层玻璃窗，以及安装通风口覆盖物以防止余烬潜入室内。
现在，该州正在制定针对房屋周围 5 英尺范围内更严格的景观要求。
几乎所有报告都表明，这些预防措施有效地保护了房屋。最近的一项研究发现，采取这些预防措施的房屋中有 48% 在加利福尼亚州一些规模最大的火灾中幸存。而在没有采取预防措施的房屋中，仅有 20% 幸存。
然而，在日益极端的天气影响下，火势被进一步扇旺，对这些措施的压力测试达到了前所未有的程度。
Carlson 的地质调查团队发现，由于干燥条件，火灾燃烧得更加剧烈，且被更强的风吹向远方——这两者都降低了房屋幸存的概率。

他在草地上坐着，等待土拨鼠出现，同时思考着其研究工作的科学资助现状，由此想到了创建 (社交平台) OnlyFans 账号的主意。
由于联邦资金削减，各大学大幅削减了获得研究资助的研究生人数。对于像 Blumstein 这样的实验室来说，这意味着能监督长期土拨鼠研究的研究生减少了，而这类研究可能持续多年并产生重要数据。
他看过 Apple TV 的喜剧《玛戈的财务危机》(Margo’s Got Money Troubles)，讲述了一位新任母亲通过 (社交平台) OnlyFans 来支付账单的故事，于是他心想，好吧，土拨鼠也有财务危机。
“这创造了一个真正的挑战，”他说，“这是一个极佳的教学时刻，不仅关于土拨鼠，还关于科学资助的悲惨现状、长期科学研究的价值，以及如何维持一个我们认为对社会有价值的项目。”
目前，该账号已有 1,700 名粉丝，并获得了 5,000 美元的打赏。在 (社交平台) OnlyFans 扣除分成后，实验室将净得约 4,000 美元。土拨鼠的其他粉丝还推出了一种名为 OnlyMarms 的模因币 (meme coin) 加密货币，这为实验室带来了数万美元的交易费。

代理总检察长 托德·布兰奇 周五在戴维营总统度假地参加内阁会议。
他们的办公室均未回应是否支持 托德·布兰奇 的评论请求。
美国国家税务局 (IRS) 和解协议的批评者表示， 托德·布兰奇 的备忘录并未排除该计划再次重启的可能性。
“这个所谓的‘协议’无法防止未来向暴力煽动者发放款项，”参议员亚当·希夫（加利福尼亚州民主党人）在 X 平台上写道。
“它不能防止行政部门在下周让这笔秘密资金‘死而复生’，或者利用司法部的判决基金 (Judgment Fund) 实现同样的非法目的。”
这项“反武器化”基金最初于 5 月由一名弗吉尼亚州联邦法官暂停，以回应由一名原联邦检察官及其他数个团体代表进步派提出的诉讼。
科学家们假设，移动速度更快的火灾可能会在消防员到达之前就波及住宅，且大规模火灾威胁到的房屋数量可能超过消防员一次性能防御的数量。如果没有消防员在附近，房屋将完全处于无保护状态。
尽管房屋加固工作有助于保护建筑，但加利福尼亚州的一些建筑实践却损害了这些努力。某些地区显著增加了在野外地区的住宅开发，将易燃植物、脆弱的房屋以及可能（无论是故意还是意外）引发火灾的居民结合在一起，形成了危险的局面。
根据营利性研究公司 ClimateCheck（该公司大量雇用了加州大学的科学家）的数据，在 2020 到 2022 年间在加利福尼亚州新建的房产中，80% 位于高火灾风险地区，而 1920 年代新建的房产中这一比例仅为 28%。
“他们不知道自己有多出名，”Renkey 笑着说。
该实验室还将 (社交平台) OnlyFans 账号视为向公众传播其科学研究的一种方式。它已经运营了一个 Instagram 账号，并计划在本月举办首届“肥土拨鼠周”——这是一个关于哪只土拨鼠在为冬眠准备期间体重增加最多的比赛，类似于国家公园管理局的“肥熊周”。
“我对国际社会对土拨鼠的极大兴趣、对这个想法的热情，以及人们能够理解这是在糟糕的情况下寻找最佳解决方案，感到很惊讶，”Blumstein 说道。

德克萨斯州小镇的堤防系统
作者：Rebecca Santana
华盛顿 —— 一名联邦法官允许美国国土安全部继续执行计划，在保护墨西哥边境德克萨斯州一个小镇的堤防系统内修建边境墙，驳回了该镇关于墙体可能导致洪水泛滥的论点。
周日晚些时候作出的这一决定标志着特朗普政府的胜利，该政府正加速推进在从太平洋到墨西哥湾的美国-墨西哥边境修建一座 $46-billion 边境墙的计划。
普雷西迪奥（Presidio）镇人口约为 3,200 人，该镇认为墙体可能会引发洪水，且政府在仓促推进计划时并未遵守法律。该镇的发展区于今年起诉，试图阻止该部门继续施工。
但法官在周日的裁决中表示，他们不大可能在案件的实质基础上获得成功。
“基于前述理由，尽管原告对原告及其居民可能因‘智能墙’（Smart Wall）的潜在建设而遭受的损害表达了可以理解的担忧，但法院被迫否决原告的暂缓执行申请，”雷吉·B·沃尔顿（Reggie B. Walton）法官写道。
国土安全部一直在强力推进其筑墙计划，政府高级官员表示，该结构的第一层将于明年完成。在推进过程中，国土安全部部长豁免了多项旨在保护环境、野生动物以及考古和原住民遗址的法规。
但该部门一直面临来自土地所有者、环保组织、原住民部落及其他人士的反对，他们认为快速施工危及环境和宗教遗址，以及边境地带的一种生活方式。反对者还质疑，在来自墨西哥的移民入境人数处于极低水平时，完成此墙的紧迫性何在。
普雷西迪奥发展区的律师在法庭听证会上辩称，该计划可能会损害保护小镇免受山洪袭击的堤防系统，且政府无视了一项关键法案，该法案要求政府在堤防上或附近施工前必须寻求美国陆军工程兵团的许可。
“我们对法院允许这项具有潜在灾难性的工程继续进行感到非常失望，但我们仍然致力于保护大弯曲（Big Bend）地区以及那些依赖这些受威胁堤防的人们，”民主前行（Democracy Forward）组织的一名代表在接受《洛杉矶时报》采访时表示。“在缺乏更多证据的情况下，我们对此没有信心。”
该组织还询问司法部，协议的修改是否得到了提起诉讼的特朗普、他的两个儿子及其企业的支持。
上个月，佛罗里达州的一名联邦法官写道……
房屋的位置往往可以抵消居民为保护财产而采取的措施。
正如一项 2017 年关于圣地亚哥县山火的研究得出的结论：“房屋——”
此决定称该和解协议不当，并指出双方——特朗普及其监管的机构——实际上并非相互独立。 托德·布兰奇与特朗普的独立性在其确认程序中是一个反复出现的主题。 在就职之前，布兰奇曾担任特朗普的个人刑事辩护律师，且在上个月的提名听证会上，他误将自己描述为仍担任特朗普的律师。 自司法部长帕姆·邦迪在 4 月被解雇以来，布兰奇一直担任代理司法部长。他此前已被确认担任副司法部长。即使他未获得确认，也可以继续担任代理司法部长，但特朗普政府将被阻止任命一名接替的副司法部长。 布兰奇与特朗普政府期间的一系列争议行动有关，包括美国国家税务局 (IRS) 的和解协议、司法部公布对已故性侵犯杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的调查文件，以及对特朗普政治敌人的起诉（包括前 FBI 局长詹姆斯·科米）。 爱泼斯坦的幸存者以及 1,200 多名原司法部雇员在呼吁参议院不要确认布兰奇的人员之列。

业主可以正确地完成所有房屋防火准备工作，但如果建筑位于危险环境中，所有这些措施可能都不足以保证安全。”
该镇的发展区在周一的一份声明中表示。普雷西迪奥由 20 世纪 70 年代和 80 年代沿格兰德河及其支流修建的一系列堤防和堤坝保护，以应对洪水。 在法庭文件中，普雷西迪奥的发展区表示，海关和边境保护局计划“用混凝土墙取代现有堤坝的土坡，并在顶部安装 30 英尺高的钢制路障面板”。 该区表示，他们要求该机构提供更多细节，但被告知由于“国家安全”原因无法分享。 政府辩称，目前还没有关于边境墙具体位置或如何建设的最终计划。且政府坚持认为，它拥有国会授予的权力，可以豁免大量法规以建设该墙，旨在将其每天跨境人数降低至零。 法官在裁决中支持了这一论点，称显然“国会并不打算限制国土安全部部长的豁免权”。 政府在德克萨斯州还面临另一项诉讼，那里一个环保组织和一个教堂保护组织已联手反对国土安全部的计划。

华盛顿——白宫一名官员确认，特朗普总统将于周二前往洛杉矶，周三前往拉斯维加斯，此次为期两天的西海岸之行旨在中期选举前强调其政府的经济记录。
在洛杉矶，特朗普计划参加在特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部举行的一场共和党全国委员会晚宴。此次访问正值政府寻求让公众关注其经济政策之际，而他的政府在 11 月选举前缓解经济压力的时间已所剩无几。
“总统将把他的常识议程与像加文·纽森这样民主党人的激进政策形成鲜明对比，后者不断提高税收，导致纳税人资助的项目中出现猖獗的欺诈，并保护非法移民毒贩、强奸犯，

“这是最好的模式，对吧？”Options for Learning 的首席项目官 Tracy Lynch 说道，“当我们让来自各行各业的人在同一个环境中共同学习和成长时。”
Fuller 表示，学区学习如何照顾更年幼的孩子，有助于在家庭选择 4 岁孩子的去向时，缓解部分“负面的竞争紧张局势”。
尽管将一间教室——或整个校园——改造为日托场所可能是一个成本高昂且繁琐的过程，但非营利组织

韦尔斯表示，特朗普预计将“吹嘘他为金州人民取得的胜利，尽管民主党领导层已经失败”，她引用了她所描述的“有史以来最大规模的中产阶级减税、美国历史上最安全的边境以及骤降的犯罪率”。
纽森（Newsom）尚未公开评论特朗普在加利福尼亚州的停留，但这位民主党州长在最近的社交媒体帖子中批评了特朗普处理经济的方式。
在 X 平台的一篇帖子中，纽森指出，加利福尼亚州明年将把最低工资提高到每小时 $17.40，以此攻击特朗普和共和党“在工人勉强维持生计的同时，仍在捍卫 $7.25 的最低工资”。
“可悲，”州长写道。
在第二篇帖子中，纽森转发了一篇 X 帖子，显示自年初以来，大米、棉花和小麦等物品的价格如何上涨。
“干得好，@realdonaldtrump，”他写道。
特朗普此次访问洛杉矶将是他重返办公室后的第二次访问。
2025年1月，在洛杉矶社区和阿尔塔迪纳（Altadena）遭受山火蹂躏后，他视察了太平洋帕利塞兹（Pacific Palisades）。在访问期间，特朗普签署了一项旨在加快重建工作的行政命令。
自从特朗普上次访问该市以来，加利福尼亚州领导人与特朗普政府在联邦灾难援助问题上陷入僵局。
4月，洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯（Karen Bass）和县主管凯瑟琳·巴格尔（Kathryn Barger）在椭圆形办公室与特朗普会面，讨论他们请求的用于协助山火恢复工作的资金，特朗普对这一请求表示支持，但尚未正式落实。
在访问加利福尼亚州之后，特朗普将前往内华达州，在红岩赌场（Red Rock Casino）就经济发表讲话。
他们正在努力筹集资金，同时也依赖州政府和联邦资金来资助座位以及一些必要的装修。
教室必须符合州政府的许可要求，包括低水槽、小厕所、额外的台面空间以及至少两个出口——而 K-12 教室仅需要一个。此外，每个年龄组都需要合适的户外活动区域。
六个月来，Kidango 的工作人员致力于改造圣何塞的 Toyon 早期学习中心，以便在 3 月启动首批教室。随着校园缓慢更新更多教室，装修工作仍在继续。

单杠被感官桌和泥巴厨房取代。该非营利组织目前运营 8 间教室，预计在 8 月初达到饱和状态，服务 150 名儿童。
中心主任 Yesenia Rivas Berajano 表示，目标是最终扩展到 13 间教室。
该非营利组织首席执行官斯科特·摩尔（Scott Moore）表示，关于社区需求与可用空间的讨论促使 Kidango 尝试这种基于公立学校的方法。
安置 Kidango 早期学习校园的 Alum Rock 和 Berryessa 联合学区都面临入学人数下降的困扰。Alum Rock 联合学区的学生人数不足其 2003 年初高峰时期的的一半，且 2024-25 学年出现 $20-million 的预算缺口，导致多所学校关闭或合并。
Berryessa 联合学区在过去十年中失去了近四分之一的学生，导致 $6-million 的预算赤字。
Kidango 于 2003 年开始进入 Alum Rock 联合学区，随后于 2025 年进入 Berryessa 联合学区——之后接管了这两个学区的整个校园。
“最难以负担的事情之一就是年幼孩子的托儿服务，”摩尔说。

马萨诸塞州正致力于让医生在是否允许怀孕晚期进行堕胎的问题上拥有最终决定权。此举预计影响的病例较少，但支持者表示，由于医院目前正在拒绝接收本应为其提供服务的女性，因此此举十分必要。
该州参议院周五通过了这项措施，并将其提交给民主党州长莫拉·希利（Maura Healey），她此前已签署过其他加强堕胎权利的法律。
根据马萨诸塞州现行法律，怀孕前 24 周堕胎合法。在此之后，只有在医生根据最佳医学判断，认为由于胎儿致命异常或诊断，或者因为胎儿可能无法在子宫外生存，而必须为了维持女性的生命、身体或心理健康时，才允许堕胎。
州代表克里斯汀·巴伯（Christine Barber）表示，在这一框架下，医院拒绝了一些怀孕晚期要求堕胎的女性，甚至在胎儿发生中风且被判定为不可能生存的情况下也是如此。
新法律将取消具体原因的清单，仅简单规定堕胎将“基于医生的专业判断”而获准。
反对者则称，这将允许直到出生前都可以堕胎——即使是针对健康的胎儿——且晚期堕胎对女性而言更为复杂且风险更高。
“虽然这项立法优先考虑了获取途径，但它并未优先考虑女性的安全性，”马萨诸塞州生命公民组织（Massachusetts Citizens for Life）主席迈娜·马洛尼·弗林（Myrna Maloney Flynn）在一段敦促支持者要求立法者否决该法案的视频中说道。
如果希利签署该法案，该法律将成为美国堕胎格局的最新变化。四年前，最高法院的一项裁决推翻了“罗诉韦德案”（Roe vs. Wade），允许各州执行堕胎禁令，给该格局带来了剧烈冲击。
一些州在等待许可执行之前就已经在法律中规定了禁令，另一些州则在裁决后采取了禁令或限制措施。
目前，13 个州在怀孕所有阶段执行禁令（除部分例外情况外）。另有 4 个州在怀孕约六周后禁止堕胎——这通常

补充道，增加更多名额使家庭能够留在如圣何塞等生活成本高昂的地区，而这些地区的儿童护理资源可能非常匮乏。
根据加州大学伯克利分校的研究，自 2021 年以来，加利福尼亚州约有 1,100 所社区预备学校关闭。其中 500 多所位于洛杉矶县。研究显示，过渡幼儿园的增长吸走了更多利润丰厚的 4 岁儿童——因为婴儿和幼儿需要更高的员工比例和更密集的护理——这使得更多中心面临关闭风险。
即便在目前的转型过程中，仍没有足够的儿童护理名额来照顾所有有需要的幼儿和婴儿。根据富勒（Fuller）的研究，在加利福尼亚州，抚养 3 岁孩子的父母中，只有不到三分之一能在任何形式的预备学校中找到空缺名额。
在年龄更小的儿童中，资源依然更加匮乏。
在 Rise Vallejo，由于
接管了瓦列霍市统一学区（Vallejo City Unified）的贝弗利山小学（Beverly Hills Elementary）后，非营利组织 Child Start Inc.、First 5 Solano 以及索拉诺县教育局（Solano County Office of Education）运营起了一个中心化的儿童看护中心。其中部分教室由前家庭儿童看护提供者运营，而 Head Start 和 Early Head Start 班级则由 Child Start Inc. 运营。
根据 Child Start Inc. 执行主任 Juan Cisneros 的说法，自 4 月以来开放的 8 间教室中大约有 100 名学生就读。随着最后几家提供者的许可审批完成，另外 7 间教室仍待开放，并可能在 8 月晚些时候准备就绪。
每位提供者与拥有学校校园的 Child Start Inc. 签署了一份为期 5 年的谅解备忘录。他们根据所运营的教室数量分摊运营成本，每月费用为 $2,612，其中包括维护、清洁服务、公用事业费和其他间接成本。Cisneros 表示，这种设置为他们节省了大约一半的总成本。
Rise Vallejo 的开放最终耗资 $20 million，包括场地的购买和翻修。从收购场地到开始开放教室大约花费了三年时间。
瓦列霍市统一学区董事会受托人 John Fox 表示，学区很高兴看到前学校校园被重新用于早期儿童教育，提供了一项急需的服务。
合作伙伴依赖联邦、州和市的资金与补助金，并由 First 5 Solano 牵头寻求私人捐赠。
First 5 Solano 委员会主席 Lisette Estrella-Henderson 表示：“我们绝不接受否定，因为我们对此深信不疑。”

……在女性意识到自己怀孕之前。
几个由民主党控制的州采取了相反做法，增加了旨在保护医疗提供者免因向其他州的患者提供堕胎服务而受起诉的法律。
马萨诸塞州是走得最远的州之一，其盾牌法（shield law）适用于那些通过远程医疗向堕胎禁令州女性开具堕胎药处方的人。
路易斯安那州和德克萨斯州的反堕胎官员正在测试这些保护措施。
今年通过的大多数与堕胎相关的州法律并未在堕胎允许的时间或方式上做出重大改变。
例如，科罗拉多州的一项新法律要求设有学生健康中心的大学从 2027 年 8 月起为学生提供堕胎药。声明该要求与其宗教信仰相冲突的私立学校将被豁免。
俄克拉何马州的一项新法律规定，为了给他人进行非法堕胎而购买或出售此类药物属于重罪。

在这个考验脑力而非体力的训练营中，寻求大学教育的退伍军人们于今年夏天聚集在加州理工学院（Caltech），模拟教师、研究员和导师在期末考试周的强度，参加一个帮助他们评估是否准备好过渡到学术领域的项目。“勇士学者项目”（Warrior-Scholar Project）是一个 STEM 密集型项目，成立于 2012 年的耶鲁大学，已为近 3,000 名退伍军人提供服务，通过多达 75 小时的学术工作挑战他们。该项目已在加州理工学院开展了七年。参与者在三种类型的课程中进行选择：STEM、商业基础和人文课程。最受欢迎的是 STEM 轨道——科学、技术、工程和数学。“其理念是通过在加州理工学院参加 WSP，让他们明白‘我有能力进入这些卓越的机构之一’，”该非营利组织的首席执行官、前海军陆战队中士瑞安·帕维尔（Ryan Pavel）表示。“如果我想在加州理工学院或麻省理工学院追求学业，那么就有一条路径。”帕维尔说，该项目约 80% 的参与者完成了学位。其中超过一半是第一代大学生。“这是一个非常值得积极招募的群体，因为这里有专业的人才，”帕维尔说。全国各地的大学都主办此类训练营，包括麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学、普林斯顿大学、耶鲁大学、哈佛大学、哥伦比亚大学、圣母大学和 南加州大学。该项目对参与者免费，由众多地方和国家基金会、公司以及个人捐赠者资助。“仅仅在校园里生活这种‘去神秘化’的过程，有助于他们培养在 STEM 课程中真正脱颖而出的技能，”帕维尔说。“我们致力于确保退伍军人们了解自己的能力，而这很可能包括在顶尖机构接受教育。”
训练营漫长的一天 加州理工学院的训练营从上午 8:30 开始，第一节是物理与运动课，接着是实验室后台参观或科学展等活动，最后以严苛的习题集结束，学生们在通常延伸至晚上 10 点或 11 点的一天结束前很少能完成这些习题。 “我们希望他们在这里挑战自己的极限，这样他们在进入大学之前可以知道哪里需要提高，”项目研究员、助教兼前参与者约书亚·圣茹斯特（Joshua Saint Juste）表示。 该训练营营造了一种让学生感到舒适的环境，其中——

纽约——在纽约州北部农村地区的一个学校区，在州教育官员、教师和当地居民提出担忧后，暂停了在课堂上部署 AI 驱动类人机器人的计划。担忧内容包括该机器人的制造商与一家生产逼真性爱机器人的公司有关联。 萨拉曼卡市中心学校区（Salamanca City Central School District）董事会批准了从 Realbotix 公司购买该机器人的近 $60,000 费用。其愿景是，这个被昵称为“萨莉”（Sally）的拥有深色长发的固定式机器人，将增强学习机器人和技术领域的高中生的教育。 “在给 Arduino 板编程时遇到困难？甚至不知道什么是 Arduino 板？问问萨莉，她可以解释，”主管马克·比勒（Mark Beehler）说。“该机器人还为学生提供了学习如何维护机器人、如何用新的获批内容进行更新以及如何排除故障的机会。” 但随着消息在位于塞内卡印第安民族（Seneca Nation of Indians）保留地的这个小社区传开，家长和——

教师们担心学生的个人信息将如何被使用。工会教师将矛头指向了 Realbotix 的情趣娃娃姐妹公司，尽管学区官员和该公司本身都强调这两家制造商是独立运营的。
“一家与情趣娃娃相关的公司制造的机器人，不应该出现在我们的课堂上，”纽约州联合教师工会（New York State United Teachers）主席梅琳达·珀森（Melinda Person）表示。
目前，由于学区正在与州教育官员就“强化的学生数据隐私协议”进行协商，并继续向社区开展外展工作，该机器人试点项目仍处于暂停状态。这是学区上月底在 Facebook 上发布的一份声明中所述。
州官员与教师表示担忧 州教育专员贝蒂·罗莎（Betty Rosa）表示，即使在她的工作人员与学区官员会面后，她仍然对机器人在课堂中的角色感到担忧。
“虽然您确认该机器人不会在课堂教学中承担任何角色，但最近向董事会提交的一份演示报告将该机器人描述为‘辅导平台’，”罗莎在致学区的一封信中写道。
她还呼应了居民们对于数据隐私和安全的担忧
由 Realbotix 公司制造的类人机器人（该公司向该学区提供了一台）在 2025 年的一次科技展上。

学区官员为购买机器人辩护
Beehler 强调，这次试点计划还包括推出一个虚拟的 AI 驱动教师助手和家庭辅导计划，其目的并非取代工作人员。 “机器人绝不可能在学校里取代人类，”他说道。“即便可行，也绝不符合学生的最佳利益。教学是一个人与人之间互动的过程。” Beehler 是通过一位前同事与 Realbotix 建立联系的，他表示这家总部位于拉斯维加斯的公司非常合适，因为其机器人已经预装了 WozEd——这是由苹果公司联合创始人史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克（Steve Wozniak）开发、该学区正在使用的课程。 去年，圣地亚哥的一所特许学校以 500,000 美元的价格从英国机器人公司 Engineered Arts 购买并推出了两台 AI 驱动的机器人。 萨拉曼卡学校（Salamanca Schools）在社交媒体帖子中强调，“萨莉”不会收集学生的个人信息，不会录制互动过程中的音频或视频，也不会向 Realbotix 发送数据。

该机器人还经过编程，会避开如性、暴力和赌博等不恰当的话题，且无法搜索互联网或从未经审核的生成式人工智能服务中获取答案。 学区表示，相反，所有关于“萨莉”的信息都将存储在本地，该机器人的能耗与一台笔记本电脑相当。
机器人制造商回应批评
Realbotix 表示，学生身份验证将通过学区现有的系统处理，任何与学生相关的信息都将保持加密并由学区控制。该公司还反驳了关于“萨莉”仅仅是改造后的性爱娃娃的说法，称其为“新制造的、专为教育设计的单元”，没有经过硬件修改。 该校的机器人来自 Realbotix LLC，该公司专注于医疗保健、教育和其他商业应用。其关联公司 Intima LLC 持有 RealDoll 的股份，后者是一家资深的性爱娃娃制造商，其产品包括一系列被宣传为“世界上最先进的性爱机器人”的 AI 驱动模型。 “Realbotix LLC 和 Intima LLC 拥有不同的产品线，互不交叉，”该公司（此处承接上文）……
“（这让我）能够坦然面对失败，”20 岁的 Saint Juste 说道，他将在秋季进入肯尼索州立大学（Kennesaw State University）就读。 该计划“向你展示你的优点和缺点，以及你希望如何弥补弱点、增强能力，从而为大学做好准备，”他说道。 学生们有机会通过一项小组研究项目，与在校园内开展研究的研究员、博士候选人和教授一起工作，并在项目中向同行和教授展示他们的发现。 “我曾与一位天体物理学家合作，我们测量不同星系之间恒星的距离……我初步体验了天体物理学是什么样的，”23 岁的 Diego Maldonado 说道，他曾是该计划的参与者，目前是一名研究员，将于秋季进入 Amherst 大学就读。 大多数参与者已经获得了大学录取通知书，但许多人已经一段时间没有在校就读了。许多人为了先服现役而推迟就读大学，即使他们已经收到了录取通知书。
搭建通往学术界的桥梁
“每个人都在经历不同的旅程。我们在这里想要做的是为他们提供装备，以便他们在加入时做好准备，”Saint Juste 说道。
Warrior-Scholar Project 的研究员们教授大学准备课程，以帮助激发信心。
“令人欣慰的是，并不是每个人都已经完全想清楚了，”参与者 Ignacio Mora 说道。“我们彼此非常支持。”
“退伍军人之间有一种特定的紧密社区感，但当你能够在全国范围内维持这些联系时，这会让我们觉得自己在这些精英学术社区中是有归属感的，”Maldonado 补充道。
教授们非常渴望与退伍军人学生合作，并认为退伍军人带入课堂的生活经验对于像加州理工学院（Caltech）这类机构的知识多样性至关重要。
“我认为他们遇到过比在教室里大得多的挑战，因此他们对待学习的态度非常健康，且愿意钻研教材。这使得与他们合作变得非常有趣，”加州理工学院 LIGO 实验室研究员 Jonah Kanner 说道。LIGO 实验室是一个主要研究设施，与麻省理工学院（MIT）合作研究引力波天体物理学。
“在军队中生活是非常紧张的，但我们在军队中培养的许多技能在学术研究中也能发挥作用……我还想说，在服役之后，我们绝对会对彼此提供更多的支持，”Mora 说道。
在声明中表示：“这两家子公司维持各自的管理、人员、工资单、设施、制造运营、产品开发和市场策略。”
部分居民仍持谨慎态度
Beehler 主张，对于像萨拉曼卡（Salamanca）这样被孤立的学区（该学区位于宾夕法尼亚州边界附近的阿勒格尼河沿岸）来说，寻找将前沿产品引入课堂的新方法至关重要。
“在大多数情况下，我们的学生需要旅行 1-2 小时才有机会看到新兴技术，”他说道。“机器人的目的之一是帮助平整竞争环境，并激励学生继续学习机器人、AI 以及 STEAM 相关职业路径。”
然而，一些萨拉曼卡的居民仍然不 convinced。
Joplin Ficek 于 2024 年毕业于萨拉曼卡高中，目前在一家日托中心工作，她认为没有理由让机器人或 AI 在她的母校中占据如此突出的地位。

最初在 La Brea 大道上的一家小型定制复古服装店，如今已成长为一家十亿美元规模的公司。女装公司 Reformation 以其可持续发展的使命和口号而闻名：“裸体是最可持续的选择（第1名）。我们排第2。” 十多年来，这家公司的衣服经常出现在 Taylor Swift 和 Hailey Bieber 等名人们的身上，但直到上周，Reformation 才在股市上市。随着周一中午股价的上涨，其市值已攀升至 95000 万美元（$950 million）以上。这是一个令人惊叹的崛起过程：公司最初在洛杉矶进行管理和生产，随后扩张至 70 个地点，主要分布在美国，其中 13 家在加利福尼亚州，并在加拿大、法国和英国设有店面。公司计划利用筹集到的资金，每年开设 12 到 14 家门店。“我们还处于起步阶段，”Reformation 首席执行官 Hali Borenstein 在接受 CNBC 采访时表示，“我们在核心市场的渗透率还不到 1%，所以你们将来会看到我们更多的动作。”尽管如此，一些消费者和分析师担心，规模增长过快可能会损害品牌及其闻名的质量和可持续性。“在某个时间点，我觉得 Reformation 试图增长得太快，这导致他们忽视了质量，”消费者洞察公司 Consumer Collective 的联合创始人 Jessica Ramirez 说道。“我不希望在他们上市后，同样的压力再次出现，因为这通常就是结果。”这家服装公司由加利福尼亚州本土人士 Yael Aflalo 于 2009 年创立。起初，Aflalo 在店后对复古服装进行定制并销售，随后转型为使用可持续材料生产自有服装。
确认双方已干预市场。
作者：Mayuko Ono 和 Elaine Kurtenbach
周一，在总统特朗普和日本财务大臣确认双方已干预市场后，美元兑日元汇率大幅下跌。在上周晚些时候之前，美元交易价格在 163 日元上方，触及 40 年来高点。在监管机构被怀疑介入后，汇率跌至 160 日元以下。
周一，在干预行动正式公布后，美元在美交易时段跌至 157 日元左右。
尽管日元走弱吸引了数百万寻找廉价商品的游客，但日元兑美元的长期疲软一直是东京方面感到沮丧的根源。由于日本消费的大部分产品依赖进口，货币贬值会推高物价。高油价放大了这一问题，这使得日本首相高市早苗（Sanae Takaichi）政府面临压力，要求采取更多措施应对日益上涨的生活成本。
今年早些时候试图提高日元兑美元汇率的努力并未能有效撼动汇率。通常情况下，外汇市场决定货币的相对价值，但影响市场走势的因素很多。
美国和日本之间巨大的利差导致投资者抛售日元并购买美元，以利用美元计价资产的更高收益。日本银行和美联储在上周的会议上均维持利率不变，从而维持了这一差距。
因此，上周当美元跌至 160 日元以下并维持在这一水平时，人们怀疑美国方面提供了帮助。
官员们通常对此类行动保持沉默。但周日，特朗普确认美国方面提供了帮助，日本财务大臣片山早苗（Satsuki Katayama）同样发表声明称，财务省已与美国财政部协调购买日元。
REFORMATION 起步于洛杉矶，目前在美国及海外拥有 70 家门店。上图为圣迭戈的一家门店。
在 2013, Aflalo 开始将服装设计、制造与量身定制相结合，并通过网站销售。Reformation 同年在洛杉矶开设了一家工厂。当时，该公司以连衣裙最为知名，但在接下来的几年里，其产品线扩展到了更多服装类别。
Reformation 于 2019 年在多伦多和伦敦开设了首批国际门店，当时该公司与私募股权公司 Permira 合作以进一步扩大规模。Aflalo 继续领导公司直到 2020, Borenstein 接任首席执行官。
在其网站上，该公司将 Tencel、再生棉和库存布料列为其满足可持续发展标准的首选材料之一。它还讨论了如推出限量系列等做法，以维持其环保标签。
它在时尚消费者中找到了一个利基市场——这些人想要前卫的衣服，既能穿去参加婚礼，又能经久耐用，且比量产产品对环境更友好。
“他们是一个可持续服装品牌，而且穿起来不像麻袋，”Ramirez 说道。“长期以来，这确实是……”
一名男子走过一块显示美元和日元汇率的电子公告牌。
“我们之前拥有的是：一款可持续但不好看的产品。” 该品牌强调，其单品旨在即使在频繁使用的情况下也能经久耐用，而不是被随意丢弃。 一位 Reformation 的粉丝曾在《纽约客》杂志中写道，该品牌的可持续、极简主义连衣裙因找到了合适的定价点而拥有一批狂热追随者，“大部分定价在三位数低端——恰好模糊了那些认为 218 美元的连身裤是负担得起的基础款的人，与那些认为这是不切实际的挥霍的人之间的界限。” 尽管它在自己的舒适区表现良好，但它可能会面临许多热门品牌在努力突破核心粉丝群并保持影响力时所遇到的阻力。 分析师表示，Reformation 试图将自己定位在其他千禧一代品牌之外，但服装市场的周期性使得这一类产品的推销非常困难。 包括在上市后进行转型的一系列 Allbirds 在内的服装公司，在首次公开募股后的热度消退后，往往在股票市场上陷入苦战。
“我们不会犹豫采取进一步的联合干预，”她说道。 Astris Advisory Japan 的董事总经理兼战略主管 Neil Newman 表示，如此公开承认市场干预的情况很少见。他指出，上一次重大案例是 2011 年日本东北部发生特大地震和海啸灾难后，政府采取的干预措施。
美国为何提供协助
当被问及华盛顿为何提供帮助时，特朗普周日表示，“我们与日本关系良好。我们非常强大——在财务上非常、非常强大——而他们，你知道，他们的日元在贬值，他们想要一点帮助，而我们总是支持日本的。
“看看 Birkenstock。它一直不是一家糟糕的公司，但周围总是有很多质疑，”Ramirez 说道。“On Running 拥有前所未有的年增长率，但当财报公布时，他们仍然会遭遇大跌。” Reformation 过去曾面临增长过快的担忧。 几年前，随着该品牌开始迅速开设更多门店并推出包袋和鞋类等新产品，它开始因质量下降而面临批评。一些粉丝表示，他们在那时就注意到了质量的下滑。 加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 的商业教授 Felipe Caro 表示，他对 Reformation 在上市后能否维持其可持续形象持怀疑态度，而这正是该品牌受欢迎的部分原因。他表示，为了让该品牌在目前的客户群中继续获得成功，投资者可能必须在规模上做出妥协。 “我不认为他们能增长到 H&M 或优衣库 (Uniqlo) 那样的规模，”Caro 说道。“但这并不意味着这是必要的。考虑到他们收取的价格较高，他们可能无需达到快时尚品牌的数字，就能在财务上保持非常健康的状态。”

对日本而言。当然，除了珍珠港事件，日本一直对我们非常好。” 特朗普表示，美国从这次干预中获得了“财务利益”，称其为“友谊的信号”。 “这对世界经济也有好处，”他说。 Newman 表示，美元走弱使美国制造的商品更具竞争力，降低了以日元计算的成本，并可能有助于增加美国对日本的出口。 “美国人就此事与日本人合作非常罕见，但基本上日本和美国在这里存在利益一致，”Newman 说道。 对于华盛顿来说，这是一种“低成本”的方式，在向一个关键的美国盟友示好的同时，也保护了外汇和债券市场的稳定。

品牌。” 它在平衡可持续发展目标与股东要求降低成本的压力之间也可能会面临困难。 Ramirez 表示，Reformation 可能会在投资者理解品牌以及直销品牌的不确定性方面遇到一些困难。 “当你是一家私有公司时，你可以直接说：‘我想这样做，’并且可能会为了实现其他被认为重要的事情而放弃一点利润，” Caro 说道。“他们是否会直接说我们只在乎利润，忘掉可持续发展部分？那可能会毁掉这个品牌。” Reformation 表示，它目前仅触及了其潜在客户群的表面。而现在它拥有充足的资金去开拓更多类型的消费者。 Borenstein 表示，由于其吸引的客户群广泛，公司没有感受到零售业其他部分所面临的同样压力。 “我们的活跃客户数量极其强劲，因此我们对自己全年继续执行计划的能力感到非常乐观，即使是在我们所处的这种动态环境中。”
市场， 牛津经济研究院（Oxford Economics）日本经济主管 Shigeto Nagai 在一份报告中表示。
日元可能走强
Nagai 表示，最近的一次干预似乎比今年早些时候的情况产生了更持久的影响，日元在今年剩余时间内的走势可能会稍微强一些。 但导致日元长期走势疲软的因素依然存在。 Takaichi 推动将日本食品销售税从 8% 降低至 1%，并大幅增加政府支出。此类举措往往会削弱日元，因为这会增加通货膨胀，并增加日本已经极其庞大的政府债务。 日本银行缓慢地将其基准利率从接近零提高到目前的 1%，这是 31 年来的最高水平，但仍远低于美联储 3.5% 至 3.75% 的利率。 Nagai 表示，在评估伊朗战争及其他因素对经济的影响时，日本银行可能会继续缓慢推进任何变动。 与此同时，由于战争导致的油价飙升以及随之而来的更高通货膨胀，使得美联储无法降息。 “收益率差距依然很大，日本的能源进口负担依然沉重，且日本银行的行动速度仍慢于市场通常要求以产生持续货币反转的速度，”SPI 资产管理公司的 Stephen Innes 在一篇评论中表示。
电台 主播离职， 转为全音乐 模式
在这个夏天放弃主播的 内陆帝国媒体机构。
作者：Cerys Davies
在刚刚过去的周末，总部位于雷德兰兹的电台 KCAL-FM 96.7 开始在没有主播的情况下播放音乐。此前，该电台于上周解雇了所有节目主持人，并转型为“全时段全音乐”的经典摇滚模式。该电台工作人员在社交媒体上写道：“96.7 KCAL Rocks 今天翻开了新篇章。感谢每一位听众，是你们成就了上一个章节。经典摇滚。只有音乐。全天候覆盖内陆帝国。” 该电台的资深电台主持人、兼职人员及周末顶替人员全部被解雇，其中包括在该电台工作了 42 年的 Daryl Norsell；工作了 15 年的 Patrick Tish；以及 Nikki Preston。过去六年担任晚间主持人兼节目总监的 John DeSantis 在社交媒体上确认了此次裁员。“他们将转向一个自动化的、无需人工的模式。说这令人震惊是对该情况的轻描淡写。我有许多需要消化，稍后会透露更多细节，”DeSantis 写道。“但现在，我只想感谢大家让我成为 KCAL 家族的一员。这是一个广播梦想的实现。你们将永远摇滚。”
该电台自 1965. 年首次播音以来一直服务于内陆帝国。KCAL 由 Anaheim Broadcasting Corp. 拥有，该公司还经营该地区的经典热门金曲电台 KOLA 99.9 FM。根据 Anaheim Broadcasting 的数据，这两家电台在里弗赛德-圣贝纳迪诺市场每周触达超过 800,000 名听众。该公司未能就此次裁员发表评论。
“我们围绕听众成长过程中听过的音乐——那些成就了经典摇滚的歌曲和艺术家——重建了 KCAL，”Anaheim Broadcasting Corp. 的首席运营官 Kelly Sanders 在给南加州新闻组 (Southern California News Group) 的新闻稿中表示。“KCAL 将提供一种专注且一致的聆听体验，对我们的受众和广告合作伙伴都具有更广泛的吸引力。” 根据《橙县登记报》(OC Register) 的报道，该新闻稿还指出，此次变动“扩大了电台的音乐关注点，全天将减少干扰，增加音乐量”，但并未提及裁员问题。
这是今年夏天内陆帝国广播界遭受的第二次重大打击。今年 6 月，在 iHeartMedia 最新一轮的国家级裁员中，总部位于里弗赛德的 KGGI-FM 最后一名本地主播被解雇。这家媒体巨头在内部备忘录中表示，裁员旨在重组其广播节目，以便更好地“利用”公司的技术。
Steve “Razz” Brazill 于 1987, 年开始在 KCAL FM 工作，担任电台驻地演唱会摄影师和电台主持人。在社交媒体的一篇帖子中，他称 KCAL 为他的“家”，并回忆起在雷德兰兹现已关闭的 Whiskey Creek 餐厅主持现场活动的时光。
“KCAL 一直是我身份的一部分。我很开心能地说，我从未真正拥有过同事，我拥有的是朋友、家人以及我将永远珍惜的回忆，”Brazill 写道。“我们所有人与 KCAL 的羁绊在今天结束了，但那些关系不会。我会想念在工作室见到你们的日子，但我期待在现实生活中与你们相见。”

Thomas Plantenga 坦率地表示，他一直在从全球各地的公司中“偷师”。作为欧洲最大的 C2C（消费者对消费者）时尚市场的首席执行官，他表示，他自由地借鉴了这些公司的策略，构建了一个目前正冲击该地区 5730 亿美元时尚产业的在线平台。
“我阅读了大量关于 Amazon、MercadoLibre、Mercari 和 Costco 的商业报告，研究它们的运作方式和具体做法。我们挑选了全球顶尖公司的元素，构建了一个此前从未有人建立的 C2C 交易市场，”这位 42 岁、出生于荷兰的高管在接受采访时说道。采访地点位于 Vinted 的总部，这是一栋位于立陶宛首都维尔纽斯市中心的一座四层建筑。
Vinted 的办公室位于距离旧城区仅几步之遥的区域，这里融合了由苏联时代工厂改造而成的时尚阁楼、创意中心以及时尚的现代商务中心。在 7 月的那个日子里，Plantenga 穿着牛仔短裤和皮革穆勒鞋，坐在玻璃墙会议室里，显得轻松且不慌不忙，与周围的氛围相得益彰——许多来自 Vinted 欧洲办公室的员工正为了年度夏季聚会而来到这座城市，他们坐在开放式茶点区，边喝咖啡边聊天。
Vinted 成立于 2008 年，最初是一个让个人买卖二手服装的平台。它打造了一个如此强大的市场，以至于该平台及其部分竞争对手正在侵蚀时尚和奢侈品牌时装屋的销售额。麦肯锡的《2026年时尚状况》报告称，由于精打细算的消费者在寻求低价商品，从 2025 年到 2027 年，二手市场的增长速度将比一手市场快两到三倍。
“整个行业的风险在于，二手服装会吞噬新时尚产品的销售，”分析师表示……
[保险，接 A1]
对已婚和未婚驾驶员收取相同的费用。加利福尼亚州个人保险联合会（Personal Insurance Federation of California，一个包括水星保险及其他大型汽车保险公司的贸易组织）主席 Rex Frazier 表示，承保公司收取较高费率是有充分理由的：未婚人士发生碰撞事故的次数更多。
“我一直认为结婚与一个人更有可能拥有孩子相关，因此如果你车里有孩子，你的驾驶会更安全，”他说道。
这一人口统计特征还有助于捕捉最容易发生碰撞的驾驶员：年轻男性驾驶员，因为加利福尼亚州的保险公司被禁止在设定费率时考虑性别和年龄。
在做出 7 月 16 决定时，旧金山的第 1 上诉区小组认为，两项禁止基于婚姻状况而歧视的州民权法必须服从 Proposition 103, 1988 选票措施。该提案管理着该州的财产和意外保险业。
该提案赋予了保险专员建立可选汽车保险评级因子的权力，这些因子能够预测损失索赔——除保单持有人的驾驶记录、经验和年度驾驶里程这三个强制性评级因子之外。
在 2-1 的多数意见书中提到的法律论据之一是，该州基石性的民权法并未赋予任何受法律限制的权利，在本案中，即投票通过的提案赋予保险专员建立非任意性可选评级因子的权力。
首席法官 Alison Tucher 在一份异议书中得出结论，认为多数派误读了该提案，她表示该提案必须遵守该州的民权法。
Proposition 103, 的作者 Harvey Rosenfield 及其组织“消费者监察”（Consumer Watchdog）提交了一份支持驾驶员的简报，他表示婚姻状况“将 Prop 103 颠倒了”，因为它允许“不公正的人口统计特征来定价汽车保险”。
“这就是为什么选民要求该行业遵守民权法，并将保费基于一个人可以控制的因素——例如他们的驾驶安全记录和他们每年行驶的里程，”他说道。
只有少数几个州（包括马萨诸塞州和夏威夷州）禁止将婚姻状况作为评级因子。
允许考虑婚姻状况的规定自 1996, 起就存在，当时的保险专员 Chuck Quackenbush 将其纳入了执行 Proposition 103 的法规中。
VINTED 强大的市场已经侵蚀了时尚品牌的销售额。
RBC 资本市场（RBC Capital Markets）的分析师在本月的一份报告中写道，同时也指出许多国际品牌正急于通过推出自己的转售服务来减轻影响。
随着购买和出售二手服装的禁忌消失，像 Paris Hilton、Paul Mescal 和 Chloe Sevigny 这样的名人公开谈论他们在这些平台上的销售情况。在热门播客“Table Manners”中，歌手 Suki Waterhouse 表示她就这样购买古着服装。“我爱 Vinted，”她说道。
随着经济必要性和具有可持续意识的新一代减轻了二手服装的污名，麦肯锡（McKinsey）引用 ThredUp 和 GlobalData 的数据估计，今年约有 60% 的全球消费者可能会购买转售商品。在中国，这一数字甚至更高，超过 70%，这是由对价格可负担的高端及品牌商品的需求所驱动的。
该咨询公司表示，全球服装转售市场预计到 2027, 年将达到 3170 亿美元 billion，比去年增长 23%。其规模和
美国消费者联合会（Consumer Federation of America）进行的一项测试发现，单身、离婚和丧偶的驾驶员支付的汽车保险费用更高。
报告称，市场平台的科技已将它们带到了“一个拐点”，使它们能够将数百万次交易转化为利润。
“真正的驱动力是消费者，”彭博智能（Bloomberg Intelligence）的高级零售分析师 Poonam Goyal 表示。她指出，在经历了多年的通货膨胀后，购物者变得更加注重性价比，而年轻一代则日益将购买二手商品视为主流。“人们为购买二手商品感到自豪。他们想展示自己挖掘到的优惠。这是一种完全不同的心态。”
Vinted 通过在物流、支付和技术方面进行投资，吸引了更多买家和卖家加入其平台，从而在欧洲领先。这使其拥有了足以领先于竞争对手的规模和关键质量。由 Ken Gawrelski 领导的富国银行（Wells Fargo）分析师称其为西欧 C2C 商业中的“颠覆性力量”。
该公司在今年的一次二级股票销售中估值超过 90 亿美元 billion，投资者包括 EQT、贝莱德（BlackRock）、安大略省教师退休金计划（Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan）和施罗德投资（Schroders）等资本，并正准备在近年来欧洲最大的科技类首次公开募股（IPO）中之一。
尽管尚未就顾问、时间或上市地点做出决定，但担任该平台董事会的瑞典私募股权公司 EQT 合伙人 Carolina Brochado 表示，Vinted 已经为此准备了相当长一段时间。不过她补充道，目前公司管理层仍专注于扩大业务，而非仓促上市。
Plantenga 更紧迫的挑战是攻克美国市场。“在进行美国扩张期间，你不会去 IPO —— 那太疯狂了，”他说道。
美国市场的推进使 Vinted 与包括行业“元老” eBay 在内的成熟对手正面竞争。eBay 今年以约 12 亿美元 billion 购买了时尚平台 Depop，以加强其二手业务；其他竞争对手还包括 Facebook Marketplace、Poshmark 和 ThredUp。
“我们是否能够在该市场中真正竞争并获胜，是一个非常大的……”

当时，婚姻状况在民权法案中并非受保护的特征，但当立法机构在 2005 年修订法律并明确禁止婚姻状况歧视时，它成为了受保护特征——这是法官们在得出不同结论时讨论的另一个问题。
里卡多·拉拉的发言人 Gabriel Sanchez 强调，由于该裁决保留了现有规定，因此不会影响目前的费率。
“基于这项裁决，没有人会看到其汽车保险保费上涨或下降，”Sanchez 表示，并指出之前的几任专员并未更改该规定。
“该裁决还重新确认了保险专员根据 Prop. 103 对批准汽车费率所拥有的广泛权力，”他说道。
1996 年的规定还允许在设定汽车保费时考虑性别，但当时的保险专员 Dave Jones 在 2019 年将其作为一项可选的评级因素予以取消。
“禁止性别评级是一场巨大的战斗，也是停止歧视的重要第一步。取消婚姻状况评级是逻辑上的下一步，也应当被禁止，”他在给《洛杉矶时报》的一份声明中说道。
Bella DePaulo 曾任弗吉尼亚大学教授，撰写过关于单身生活的书籍，她表示，自该规定建立以来，社会已经发生了变化，越来越多的人选择晚婚或终身不婚。
“问题，”Plantenga 说道，并拒绝透露其在那里的具体计划。他表示，Vinted 在美国处于早期测试阶段，且初步结果令人鼓舞。跟踪 EBay 的富国银行（Wells Fargo）分析师在 7 月的报告中指出，Vinted 自 1 月进入美国市场以来，其美国日活跃用户在第二季度比去年同期增长了六倍多。
全球对二手时尚的渴望催生了大量参与者。其中包括日本的 Mercari；英国的 Hardly Ever Worn It 和 Depop；法国的 Vestiaire Collective；以及美国的 RealReal 等多家平台。许多公司一直难以将需求转化为持续的盈利能力。Vestiaire Collective 预计将在 2026 年实现首次年度盈利，距离其创建已过去 15 年多。而在亚洲——增长最快的地区之一——由阿里巴巴支持的 Idle Fish、Poizon、Mercari 和 Kream 等平台正在迅速扩张。
获取库存——无论是通过寻求清理过剩供应的品牌，还是通过希望从不再穿着的衣物中获利的个人——是这些平台面临的最大障碍之一。在 2016 年接手后，Vinted 的 Plantenga 彻底改革了公司的商业模式，最显著的举措是取消卖家费用，转而向买家收费。这些变化吸引了更多库存，提高了市场的流动性，并为盈利奠定了基础，使 Vinted 能够对其基础设施进行大量投资，而投资者现在将此视为其关键的竞争优势。
Vinted 在 2025 年处理了超过 120 亿美元 billion 的商品，比前一年增长 47%，而营收增长 38% 至超过 12 亿美元 billion。由于加速在德国以及其物流业务 Vinted Go 方面的投资，净利润下降 19% 至约 710 亿美元 million。尽管如此，投资者今年对该公司的估值仍超过 $9 billion，高于之前的 $5.4 billion。
1996 年，58% 的成年人已婚，男性结婚年龄中位数为 27.1 岁，女性为 24.8 岁。到 2025 年，仅有 51% 的成年人已婚，男性结婚年龄中位数上升至 30.8 岁，女性为 28.4 岁。目前在学术上隶属于加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UC Santa Barbara）的 DePaulo 如此表示。
“歧视非婚人士的做法日益与我们现在的生活方式脱节，”她说。“这使近一半的成年人口处于不利地位。”
在 2022 年提起诉讼的里卡多·拉拉（Ricardo Lara）案件中同样注意到了这些社会变化，同时指控黑人和拉丁裔人群因结婚率较低而受到婚姻状况监管的不成比例的影响。
该诉讼还指控 LGBTQ+
2024 年的数十亿。 瑞典的 EQT 在 2021 年首次投资 Vinted，目前仍是其最大股东之一，该公司认为 Vinted 的竞争优势现在已远远超出二手时尚领域。Brochado 表示，由于其网络效应、技术基础设施和不断扩大的生态系统，该公司越来越像 Airbnb、Uber 和 MercadoLibre 这样规模化的市场公司。 “Vinted 有潜力成为二手商品的亚马逊，”她说道。 该公司继续在欧洲范围内扩张，并进入了新的产品类别，包括电子产品、书籍和玩具。通过 Vinted Go，它在欧洲运营着超过 18,000 个取货和投递点，包括储物柜和指定的店铺；而 Vinted Pay 则将其触角延伸到了支付生态系统中。 Vinted 的模式很简单：在平台上销售对卖家免费，卖家可以保留 100% 的标价。卖家只需拍摄想要出售的物品照片，添加描述，设定价格并在应用程序上发布 listing。当有人购买商品时，Vinted 向买家收取少量费用，并为卖家提供预付运费标签。随后，卖家打包商品并将其送到当地的货运点。一旦买家确认收到，Vinted 就会将资金释放到卖家的虚拟钱包中。 Erika Orlovskiene 是一位来自维尔纽斯的两个孩子的母亲，她使用 Vinted 已经近十年了，买卖过从童装、连衣裙到书籍和鱼缸的所有东西。 “孩子长得太快，衣服很快就堆积如山，那些几乎没穿过的衣服该怎么办？”她说道，并估计这些年她节省了“数千欧元”。“这不仅仅是为了省钱，也是为了可持续发展。”

尽管加利福尼亚州 同性婚姻已经合法化十多年，但个人仍处于不利地位。然而，根据诉讼，除非经过注册，否则某些保险公司将家庭伴侣视为单身。 针对专员的诉讼暂时搁置了针对保险集团拟定的集体诉讼。被告包括水星保险 (Mercury) 和 Farmers，后者是一家洛杉矶保险公司，在拉拉 (Lara) 的案件中提交了一份支持他的简报。 Schreiber 表示，在对 7 月 16 日的裁决进行计划中的上诉之前，这些诉讼将保持暂停状态。 “我们认为[这是一个]非常危险的先例，加利福尼亚州最高法院应该对此进行裁决，”他说道。

AI 技能比 MBA 学位 更重要
也在提高能够使用 人工智能的员工的薪资。
在咨询公司普华永道 (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) 对 1,000 多名美国金融服务业高管进行的调查中，约 86% 的受访者表示，对于许多新员工来说，AI 培训比 MBA 更有价值，这反映出公司在有效采用该技术方面面临的紧迫性。 周一公布的这项调查显示，公司愿意为此支付相应费用：91% 的高管表示，他们正在提高具备 AI 技能员工的薪酬。 “显然需要这样的人才：不仅了解什么是代理 (agent)，而且知道如何构建它们？如何思考管理它们？”普华永道金融服务行业实践负责人 Peter Pollini 说道。他补充说，许多公司正在寻找具备技术能力的员工，以帮助他们实施已确定的 AI 应用场景。 MBA 是否值得投资长期以来一直是一个争论的话题，尤其是该学位的典型成本已接近 $300,000。随着学费上涨，潜在的学生越来越多地审查他们将获得什么回报。 与此同时，大学发现了机遇。 哈佛大学、宾夕法尼亚大学和麻省理工学院 (MIT) 等顶尖商学院正在提供越来越多以 AI 为主题的高管教育课程，这些课程比学位课程时间更短、费用更低，并提供证书。 例如，在麻省理工学院，学生可以参加一个名为“领导 AI 驱动型组织”的五天课程，费用约为 $13,000。 对精通 AI 的员工需求增长，导致包括软件制造商国际商业机器公司 (IBM)、Shopify Inc. 和 Cloudflare Inc. 在内的一些公司增加了初级人员的招聘，赌的是 Z 世代的大学毕业生能够利用 AI 工具比现有员工完成更多工作。
初创公司获得 10 亿美元 billion 融资
和 Ed Ludlow
此次交易使 Valar 的估值达到 60 亿美元 billion，包括投资金额。 根据周一的一份声明，这家核能公司还获得了一项 $200-million 信贷额度。 周一的声明还显示，Atreides Management、Point72 和 Snowpoint Ventures 也参与了 B 轮融资，红杉资本合伙人 Shaun Maguire 将加入 Valar 的董事会。 这家核能公司还获得了一项 $200-million 信贷额度。 Valar 正在开发下一代核电站，这些电站将在工厂中生产，然后交付以向数据中心、工业场所或其他设施提供电力。 这些所谓的小型模块化反应堆旨在降低成本并加快部署速度，而在一个以过度——
“AI 发展速度非常快。我们需要各个方向的强大电力，”Valar 首席执行官 Isaiah Taylor 在 Bloomberg TV 上表示。“对我们来说，这确实关乎规模。这是我们去进行建设所需的火力。”
Valar 是今年实现新反应堆关键技术里程碑的四家公司之一，即启动能够释放稳定能量流的自持核链式反应。Valar 在 7 月进一步突破，利用该裂变反应产生了足够的电力来驱动一颗英伟达（Nvidia Corp.）AI 芯片并托管一个网站。这两家公司计划在犹他州建立一个 30 兆瓦的 AI 设施。
Taylor 表示，预计这笔资金将帮助 Valar 加速其制造计划。
“我们想要证明生产速度，”他说。“我们希望从一年建造一座反应堆，缩短到六个月，再到每月一座，然后速度更快。”

油价下跌，股市接近历史高点
周一，美国股市反弹至历史最高点边缘，油价下跌缓解了华尔街对通货膨胀可能进一步恶化的担忧。标准普尔 500 指数上涨 1.5%，仅比今年早些时候创下的纪录低 0.1%。此前经历了剧烈波动的 7 月，由于与伊朗的战争导致油价飙升，该指数起伏不定，最终在月底基本回到了起始位置。衡量美国股市较窄范围的道琼斯工业平均指数上涨 693 点，即 1.3%，创历史新高，而纳斯达克综合指数则跳涨 2.1%。
由于布伦特原油每桶价格下跌 4.7% 至 $83.77，股市获得提振。在特朗普总统周末表示，在地区盟友的敦促下，他决定推迟对伊朗的新打击后，油价下跌。上个月，随着对伊朗战争何时能让油轮再次自由离开波斯湾向全球客户运送原油的担忧起伏，布伦特原油价格在 $72 和 $102 之间剧烈波动。
特朗普最近的妥协有助于缓解对全球原油流动的担忧，债券市场的国债收益率随之下降。10 年期国债收益率从周五晚间的 4.75% 降至 4.68%。但该数值仍远高于伊朗战争前的 3.97% 水平。更高的收益率威胁到股票和其他投资的价格，同时通过增加美国家庭和企业的借贷成本来减缓经济增长。美国长期平均抵押贷款利率已经跃升至一年来的最高水平。
周一油价的下跌助力了航空业及其他燃料账单高昂的公司领涨市场。联合航空（United Airlines）上涨 5.8%，美国航空（American Airlines）上涨 5%。挪威邮轮控股（Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings）上涨 6.6%。在美国监管机构认证其 737 MAX-7 飞机并允许其投入商业服务后，波音公司跳涨 8%。泰森食品（Tyson Foods）在报告了略强劲的业绩后上涨 2.8%。
根据彭博新闻社（Bloomberg News）审查的一份文件，该范围现已扩大到涵盖专业社交平台。微软公司（Microsoft Corp.）的 LinkedIn 是其中最大的平台之一。
该计划将对那些选择不与澳大利亚新闻出版商达成商业协议以刊登其内容的数字平台征收费。然而，如果平台

该公司加入了一份不断增长的美国大公司名单，其春季利润高于分析师预期。这对华尔街至关重要，因为从长期来看，股价往往随公司盈利而波动，且市场对于美国股价是否已普遍过高的担忧正在增加。
根据 FactSet 的数据，标普 500 指数（S&P 500）中的公司春季每股收益预计将比一年前高出 47%，该指数中已有超过一半的公司公布了财报。如果最终情况如此，这将是自 2021 年春季经济从 COVID-19 疫情中强劲复苏以来最强劲的增长。

体重减轻正在将 少数族裔抛在身后
这种强效药物处方量明显较低
几年前，我在一项关于 Z 世代健康的研 究中采访了一名黑人青少年。 这名来自市中心社区的九年级 学生所最关注的话题令我感到惊讶。 “在八年级时，午餐还是 很好吃的东西；我可以吃下去，” 她告诉我。“现在变成了这样：减脂 65%。 几乎没有任何调味。 我心想，‘这什么垃圾东西？’” 她谈到的是在她的学校以及 加利福尼亚州其他 K-12 学校中 推行的健康餐饮计划，这是 奥巴马政府旨在遏制全国 儿童肥胖流行病努力的一部分。 我向她建议，政府的午餐计划—— 公平地讲，该计划同样遭到 许多成年人（即国会中的共和党人） 的强烈厌恶——或许能帮助她认识的 青少年减轻体重或预防糖尿病。 她并不买账。“当他们回到家，” 她谈到同龄人时说，“他们会 吃掉成千上万袋火辣脆片 (Hot Cheetos)。” 洛杉矶统一学区大约 30% 的学生 超重或肥胖，这与洛杉矶 县成年人的比率惊人地一致。 黑人和拉丁裔个体在每个群体中 都占有不成比例的高份额， 使得这座城市成为这场持续且 具有种族特征的流行病的零号地带。 到 2030 年，预计加利福尼亚州 成年人的肥胖率将达到惊人的 41.5%， 其中很大一部分将是 Z 世代的 黑人和拉丁裔成员。
美国大部分地区刚刚经历了剧烈的夏季热浪。
Eric Roston 和 Hayley Warren 所写的文章极好地总结了气候变化中直接影响我们美国和欧洲人的某些方面。这篇文章本可以再多写一页，去探讨酸化和加热正给海洋生物带来的损害，探讨对居住在南美、非洲和亚洲赤道地带的数十亿人的影响，以及随着潜在数亿气候难民因家园变得无法居住而迁徙，对我们社会产生的影响。
我们现在处于一个必须同时用大量清洁能源取代化石燃料系统，并增强基础设施和机构韧性以应对最坏情况的时刻。世界正在向前迈进，但遗憾的是，美国的政治已被化石燃料产业毒害。我们没有在引领全球理解和转型的努力，而是在笨拙地试图改变方向，主张“钻吧，宝贝，钻吧”。
正如气候科学家所说，“每十分之一度都至关重要”。快速行动至关重要。我们需要将目前政府中的这批科学否认者扫除出权力之位，由那些将致力于有效且高效地加速向廉价、清洁能源转型的代表来取代。同时，我们还需要支持科学，以便我们能够了解即将到来的一切，并适应我们所造成的这个更热的新世界，从而更好地保护人们免受随之而来的高温、洪水、火灾、疾病和价格冲击的影响。

在美国，种族少数群体的肥胖率相对于白人群体一直更高。同样的模式也存在于 type 2 糖尿病中，非白人群体承受着这一复杂疾病的更高负担。获取健康且负担得起食品的机会不成比例地低，以及接触促进身体活动的设施和便利条件的受限，是主要的罪魁祸首。随之而来的后果——较低的生活质量和更高的早逝可能性——十分严重。
GLP-1 药物，这些似乎具有神奇功效、能够大幅减轻糖尿病和肥胖相关问题的药物，似乎是解决这一可预防的公共卫生危机的显而易见——或者至少是最有效——的方案。但研究一致表明，尽管需求较高，种族少数群体获得的 GLP-1 处方量明显较少。
而且，这未必是因为大制药公司缺乏努力，因为该行业一直渴望扩大其客户群。事实上，在过去几年里，大制药公司及其盟友一直努力将少数族裔客户纳入 GLP-1 的覆盖范围。
In 2021, Novo Nordisk（Ozempic 和 Wegovy 的制造商）在由影响力强大的国会黑人党团举行的会议上赞助了一个关于肥胖症的专题小组。去年，这家庞大的制药公司为具有影响力的全国

网球巨星 Serena Williams 使用 GLP-1 药物来管理她的产后体重增加。
西班牙裔护士协会。 奥普拉·温弗瑞（Oprah Winfrey）与减重的斗争广为人知，她在 2024. 年主持了一档关于 GLP-1 的备受关注的 ABC 特别节目。这位亿万富翁媒体名人此前曾担任 Weight Watchers 的董事会成员和发言人，该机构目前提供一项基于订阅的计划，为客户提供获取各种 GLP-1 药物的途径。温弗瑞随后在一次采访中讨论了这些药物在帮助她消除周围“食物噪音”方面所起到的深远作用。 而在 2025, 年，拥有自有 GLP-1 分销服务的远程医疗公司 Ro 宣布与网球巨星塞雷娜·威廉姆斯（Serena Williams）建立合作伙伴关系，后者使用 GLP-1 来管理产后体重增加。 许多知名的黑人和拉丁裔社交媒体影响力者也充当了 GLP-1 的推广者（以及由此延伸的，大制药公司的外展努力）。 讽刺的是，种族少数群体对 GLP-1 的采用率较低，在很大程度上是大制药公司造成的。在药物针对潜在患者的生物学和文化细微差别进行优化的初步临床试验测试阶段，种族少数群体经常被排除在外。 这种参与度的匮乏，既是因为研究人员在历史上对将少数群体纳入研究的兴趣较低，也是因为少数群体自身在参与时存在的不信任和恐惧。 尽管人们意识到了这些存在数十年的参与缺口，但仅有极少—

关于 7月 26日 的《快捷得来速餐饮店遭遇阻碍》一文
向卡尔弗市（Culver City）表示赞赏，因为他们选择了生活质量而非美食便利。 1982, 圣路易斯-奥比斯波市通过了一项法令，禁止开设得来速餐厅，以减少怠速汽车产生的空气污染，防止交通拥堵，并促进一个宜居且适合步行、对行人友好的社区。 城市规划者试图遏制以汽车为中心的设计，并创造友好的空间，让人们走出车辆，进入店内并相互交流。在过去的 40 多年里，这项法令在没有影响当地商业的同时实现了目标，并促进了社区和谐。 Ron Yukelson 圣路易斯-奥比斯波

繁忙的得来速业务确实令人担忧。谢尔曼-奥克斯（Sherman Oaks）的 In-N-Out 非常受欢迎，其得来速车道通常会排队一直延伸到街道上。车辆堵塞了文图拉大道（Ventura Boulevard）的入口，甚至堵住了停车场的一个区域。车辆在那里怠速运行很长时间。
少数群体在临床研究（包括 GLP-1 类药物研究）中的代表性方面有所改善。一项对 GLP-1 临床试验的审查发现，与白人相比，黑人和拉丁裔人群的代表性明显不足。 此外还有一个棘手的问题：价格。GLP-1 类药物每年平均总费用近 $7,000，对于许多缺乏足够收入或高端保险来支付这项费用的少数族裔来说，这一成本简直难以承受。事实上，许多私人和公共保险公司目前仅在极小范围内覆盖 GLP-1 的费用，甚至完全不覆盖。 目前，医疗补助计划（Medicaid）对 GLP-1 的覆盖是各州可选的。目前只有 13 个州覆盖用于治疗肥胖症的 GLP-1，且其中很大程度上不包括像佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州这样肥胖问题严重的少数族裔人口众多的州。尽管人们强烈抗议，但作为加利福尼亚州更广泛的预算削减工作的一部分，Medi-Cal 已于今年早些时候取消了对减肥用 GLP-1 的覆盖。通过医疗保险（Medicare）的 GLP-1 覆盖则更加有限，因为该计划在历史上一直反对覆盖减肥药物。然而，管理医疗保险的医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）在 7 月启动了一项试点计划，为部分医疗保险受益人提供覆盖。该计划可能为降低低收入少数族裔承担 GLP-1 高昂财务负担提供一条路径，但即使如此……
与此同时，停车场内仍有可用车位，人们完全可以下车进入店内取餐。 一个简单的解决方案是对得来速的营业时间进行监管。我建议根据企业的类型和位置，仅在清晨和傍晚时段开放。这将适用于所有提供得来速服务的 1 个场所。 Robert Bachmann 洛杉矶
关于“夏季人群涌入约塞米蒂”，7月 26 日
在我出门拿约塞米蒂棒球帽时，我想起要读读最近那篇关于约塞米蒂拥挤情况的文章。看到迷雾小径（Mist Trail）上人群的照片时，我首先感觉到的是这太荒谬了。我曾多次行走在那条小径上，它狭窄到几乎仅够一个人通过，更不用说一群登山者上下往返了。我是那些幸运儿之一，去过约塞米蒂的次数多到记不清了，从60年代初开始，那时我的父母会在早晨把我们孩子们塞进福特旅行车的后座，出发前往公园。即便在那时，停车就是一个问题，尤其是当时还没有接驳车服务。我（已故的）妻子和我与家人延续了这一传统，我可以证明这些年来的游客数量在增加。我们通常住在咖喱营地（Camp Curry），很久以前我们就学会了寻找最佳停车位，然后把车停在那里，利用接驳车（有一次用自行车）在山谷底部穿行。
虽然更多的人参观我们的国家公园是一件好事，但如果这些访问体验令人失望，那就不是好事了。而现任政府对整个国家公园系统的资金和人员削减，加剧了上述问题。我们需要更多的工作人员和资金，而不是更少！

这篇评论是对拟议扩大国家野生动物保护区系统内狩猎范围的正义反对，因为该提议将 92 million 英亩的土地从保护区状态转变为射击场。美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的提议反映了特朗普政府真正令人心惊的贪婪。对于这些破坏荒野的人来说，这些土地已经受到开发、气候变化以及隐含的货币化破坏的威胁，而他们认为越多越好。
联邦政府在5月下旬发布了该提议，正如作者所指出的，“目前处于公众评论审查阶段”。公众评论仅开放 30 天，已于6月 27. 关闭。对于刚刚得知这次冷酷土地窃取行为的《洛杉矶时报》读者来说，太遗憾了，现在已经太晚，无法在截止日期前统计的 19,680 条评论之列中登记他们的感受。

……成功，但仍然存在阻碍种族公平获取的障碍。首先，尽管 GLP-1 类药物已进入主流，但它们仍未完全摆脱作为“白人精英特权”的形象，且与身体正向运动（body positivity movement）相抵触。
多年来围绕白人女性审美标准（一种崇尚纤细的标准）的社会驯化，可能会促使一些少数族裔直接拒绝 GLP-1 类药物，以及这些药物似乎在推动的“身体绅士化”（bodily gentrification）。与此相关的是，有些人认为 GLP-1 类药物是一种可耻的捷径，与我们传统上认为的“真正”健身所需要的坚毅精神不符。不过，顺便提一下，一项 2024 年的皮尤研究中心（Pew）民调发现，70% 的黑人和 68% 的白人认为，仅凭意志力通常不足以减轻体重并保持不反弹。
几年前我问过一名黑人青少年，应对肥胖流行病的一个潜在答案可能是什么，她的回答很明确：“如果你想让某人健康饮食，就得搭配运动。否则毫无作用。”
GLP-1 类药物的成功在很大程度上颠覆了此类传统观念。这些药物可以成为一种“全方位解决方案”，这一点正变得日益明显，即使是对反对者而言也是如此。但我们是否应该允许它们成为这样，则是一个完全不同——且具有强烈种族色彩——的问题。

第九号修正案 (Title IX) 的输送管道
我的母亲海伦·卡拉汉 (Helen Callaghan) 在全美女子职业棒球联盟 (All-American Girls Professional Baseball League) 的最后一次击球是在 1949 年。她当时是基诺沙彗星队 (Kenosha Comets) 的一名速度极快的中外野手，40 年代的体育记者称她为“女性特德·威廉姆斯”。
周六，在女性职业棒球联盟 (Women’s Pro Baseball League) 的首秀中，我目睹了新一代的开拓者在原联盟中断 70 多年后接过了接力棒。洛杉矶女王队 (Los Angeles Queens) 与纽约高地队 (New York Heights) 在伊利诺伊州斯普林菲尔德举行的揭幕战中展开对决。女王队是以利齐·墨菲 (Lizzie Murphy) 命名的——她在 20 世纪 20 年代与男性职业球员对阵，并自称“棒球女王”。女王队在最后一局凭借惊心动魄的反击，以 10 比 8 获胜。联盟中还有另外两支球队：波士顿猎人队 (Boston Hunters) 和旧金山火铃队 (San Francisco Firebells)。
女王队的 20 岁外野手玛吉·福克斯 (Maggie Foxx) 在赛前告诉我，打职业棒球感觉很不真实。“这是我所有努力的顶峰，这个联盟将对更年轻的女孩产生巨大影响，因为我们是能够激励她们的榜样，”她说。周六，福克斯在她的首次职业击球中贡献了两分打点。
许多总统和专家长期以来告诫运动员将政治留在更衣室门外——“只管运球”或“打棒球，闭上嘴”是常见的陈词滥调。希望体育成为一个远离社会极化世界的避风港是可以理解的，但在女性体育方面，我们不应忽视这样一个事实：女性职业棒球联盟之所以存在，是因为一场持续数十年的政治斗争。
在成长过程中，我见证了第九号修正案 (Title IX) 的诞生，这是由总统签署的联邦民权法。
美国约有 5.4 million 名儿童在为各种年龄段的家庭成员提供照顾。

在与联合医院基金会（United Hospital Fund）合作开展的关于护理工作的研究中，大约 58% 的青少年护理工作包括至少一项日常生活活动。该报告指出，这些任务通常包括洗澡、出入床铺和椅子、如厕及喂食。对于至少 49% 的护理青少年来说，这些活动以及管理和分发药物等其他任务夺走了他们学习以及单纯作为孩子度过童年的时间。遗憾的是，美国缺乏足够的系统来识别并支持这些年轻人。根据《柳叶刀》（Lancet）的一项系统性回顾，研究表明，护理青少年经历焦虑和抑郁的比例通常更高，且面临药物滥用的风险。
在我担任母亲护理者的那几年里，我一直处于一种长期的过度警觉状态，在我的身体、家庭和生活中感到不安。为了逃避，我采取了一些危险的行为，包括滥用药物、酗酒、逃学以及开始产生性行为。对我而言，麻痹自己并从生活中消失，似乎比面对自己的感受更容易。

她在新罕布什尔州的高中校队担任了两年的捕手，随后前往罗德岛州的布朗大学打垒球。在布朗大学期间，她修了一门关于《第九号修正案》（Title IX）历史的课程。福克斯反思道：“历史就是理解过去以及它是如何塑造现在的。”
尽管女性体育取得了诸多进步——大学和职业篮球场座无虚席，人们争相观看女性比赛；美国队四次夺得女足世界杯冠军；加利福尼亚州高中里的女孩旗帜橄榄球运动也呈爆发式增长——但依然存在着强大的保守势力试图让时钟倒转。
在保守派传统基金会（Heritage Foundation）最近发表的一篇文章中，研究员斯科特·耶诺（Scott Yenor）认为，《第九号修正案》是一次失败的“女权主义社会工程”实验，旨在抹除由人性决定的“男女之间真正的差异”。耶诺宣称，这一阴险的计划造就了那些“具有侵略性、坚定且强势”，且不那么倾向于为人母的女性。
针对《第九号修正案》的法律斗争可能会破坏支撑了数十年合规性的比例标准：体育机会应大致与各性别在学生注册人数中的比例相匹配。
最近在弗吉尼亚州的克里斯托弗·纽波特大学（Christopher Newport University）解决了一起歧视案件的《第九号修正案》律师琳达·科雷亚（Linda Correia）同意，虽然已经取得了显著进展，但关于解读和执行《第九号修正案》的斗争仍在继续。她说：“绝大多数人可能已经接受了女性参与团队运动，但在该国的某些地方，这仍然是一场艰苦的战斗。通常，那些资源有限而苦苦支撑的学校会将一个群体与另一个群体对立起来，并决定不向女性体育提供资源。”
耶诺希望通过监管变更，使舞蹈、瑜伽和健身类课程也能符合《第九号修正案》中关于体育机会的要求。在资金充足的保守派法律组织的背后，长期的诉讼策略是策划一个能提交给持有同情态度的最高法院的典型案例，从而拆除《第九号修正案》的比例标准。

外界看到的是一个稳重、成功的女性。但在内心深处，我一直在挣扎着如何融入，并觉得无论怎么做都不够。直到我接近 30 岁，我的焦虑症变得严重到无法应对时，我终于通过治疗得到了帮助。这让我意识到，早年作为照顾者的角色给我带来了怎样的长期生理和心理创伤。
现在回想起来，我意识到能挺过这一切是多么幸运。没有哪个孩子应该像我那样放弃自己的青春。
然而，目前仍有数百万孩子被迫承担照顾者的角色，而且预计这一问题只会进一步恶化。随着新的医疗补助（Medicaid）工作要求已经生效，患者将失去关键的居家护理，而不得不依赖年轻的家庭成员提供照顾。此外，...
预计今年10月将出台的《大美法案》（Big Beautiful Bill Act）的后续削减计划将使这一日益严重的危机进一步恶化。虽然在佛罗里达州、罗德岛州、科罗拉多州和加利福尼亚州，可以通过美国护理青年协会（American Assn. of Caregiving Youth）、护理人员行动网络（Caregiver Action Network）和Hope Loves Company等非营利组织获得一些对护理青少年的支持，但仍有大量工作要做。目前，还没有一个全国性的计划来支持护理青年。我们可以开始修复这一问题的一些方法包括：教育学校职员、医疗服务提供者和成年人去识别这些孩子，并为他们提供学术和心理健康服务，同时在全国范围内为家庭护理计划提供资金。驻洛杉矶的执业婚姻与家庭治疗师梅莉莎·加纳·李（Melissa Garner Lee）解释道，当那些被“父母化”的孩子得不到所需帮助时，情况可能会变得非常糟糕。“他们最终可能会陷入虐待关系，被制度化，或者更糟——产生自杀念头，”她说。一项 2025 年的研究结果还发现，与非护理人员相比，年轻护理人员（尤其是女孩）的自残和自杀率更高。
对于像我这样在抚养孩子（尤其是女儿）的方式上拥有选择权的父母来说，改变始于我们自己。加纳·李建议“在情感上追踪并认可你的孩子”，以确保他们的责任与年龄相符。她还建议“鼓励并支持他们寻找自己的兴趣，这将引导他们建立一个自我认同”。卡明斯博士补充道，“这是一个通过你希望自己的童年变成什么样，来重新养育自己的机会。” 我意识到我很幸运能及时获得帮助。我也知道，在那么多人依然无法选择的情况下，我能够选择如何抚养我的女儿是非常幸运的。我们欠所有的孩子，尤其是我们的女儿，应该减轻他们过早长大的压力。我们还需要更完善的制度，让孩子们不再被期待成为护理者，不再被“父母化”。每个孩子，每个女孩，都应该有机会在真正准备好长大之前，按照自己的年龄生活，并保持他们的自主权和纯真。

“这是一个梦想成真。自从我们的联盟在 1954 年解散以来，我一直在等待这一天，”她说。“这些球员很出色，但她们必须保持清醒，让这个联盟运转下去，因为那些‘老爷们’希望女性打垒球而不是棒球，”她补充道。“而且我认为今天球场上不会有人在棒球赛中哭泣。”
我的母亲在 1992 年去世，同年关于她生活的电影《超级女棒》（A League of Their Own）在电影院上映。她不自称女权主义者，也不是任何形式的政治激进分子，但她逐渐理解了争取女性权利的宗旨和目标。她明白，争取数十年才赢得的社会权利，在被剥夺时可能会快得多。

对 Emmanuel Haro 的父母 进行妥善调查。

备受争议的亿万富翁税在周日赢得了加利福尼亚州民主党的支持，这是围绕该项扰乱了左翼及其盟友的措施而展开的戏剧性进展中的最新转折。 该党执行委员会周日投票决定支持第 40 号提案。如果该提案在 11 月获得选民批准，将对亿万富翁的资产征收 5% 的一次性税，用于支付医疗保健费用。 该措施已被证明具有分歧性。尽管它已经

一名年幼的妹妹指控该县公共社会服务局未能对其 2024 年的一起 Haro 家中虐待报告进行妥善调查。
诉讼称，由于该县的疏忽，Emmanuel 死亡，而他的妹妹继续遭受父母（来自 Cabazon 的 Jake 和 Rebecca Haro）的身体虐待和忽视。由于隐私考虑，该女孩在文件中未被点名。
“我们提起此案的目的是为我们 3 岁的委托人寻求正义，但同时也要揭露里弗赛德公共社会服务局在保护一名迫切需要保护的儿童方面所犯下的悲剧性失败，”律师 Roger Booth 在一份声明中表示。“DPSS 像任何人一样清楚，Jake Haro 是一个非常危险的人，让孩子在他身边是不安全的。”
一名部门发言人周五表示，该县尚未收到诉讼文件，但会对每一项关于虐待或忽视儿童的指控予以严肃对待，并对任何儿童受害的情况深表关切。
Emmanuel 的妹妹在 2025 年 8 月他去世后被安置在寄养家庭，诉讼指称她的发育严重滞后，无法说话或使用勺子。她还遭受了对男性的极度恐惧、无法控制的哭泣发作以及失眠。
2024 年 6 月，当她还不到一岁时，里弗赛德县收到了一通虐待儿童热线电话，报告 Haro 家中可能存在忽视行为。
诉讼指出，当时她的父亲 Jake Haro 已经有自 2018, 年起就有的虐待儿童记录，当时社会服务部门收到报告称，他及其当时的妻子 Vanessa 身体虐待了他们 2 个月大的女儿。
2018 年的一次医学评估显示，该女孩有导致癫痫的脑出血和颅骨骨折。

一名承包商兼牧师 Galicia 表示，火灾源于相邻地块上一栋废弃的房屋。看到家中的现状令他心情沉重，但并未削弱他重建的决心。

Galicia 面临的问题在该社区并非唯一。在洛杉矶市议员 Hugo Soto-Martinez 的选区内（包括 Larchmont），市政府正在追踪 5 到 10 处房产。

圣贝纳迪诺县检察官周一宣布，上周在奇诺岗发生的一起绑架案中，在被害者被处决后不久，副警长击毙了其同谋，而唯一幸存的嫌疑人目前被指控谋杀。
Bo Jianquan，66 岁，检察官称其协助其兄弟绑架了被害者。他被指控谋杀了 60 岁的 Shukur Aikebaer，后者是三个女儿的父亲，且曾是 Bo 哥哥的商业伙伴。圣贝纳迪诺县地检官 Jason Anderson 表示，由于 Aikebaer 在实施绑架过程中死亡，该指控被增加了特别情节。
在周一早上于奇诺岗举行的新闻发布会上，Anderson 表示，Bo 此前有刑事犯罪记录，他被指控是因为他知晓计划并参与了这次致命阴谋。
当局指控，周三晚上，Bo 及其哥哥 Zhengfeng 从他们在尔湾的家中开车行驶 30 多英里，前往奇诺岗 Monteverde Drive 的 2100 街区，在那里……
该州寻求让商业及其他物业所有者为水污染承担责任。
作者：Ian James
在一项全国首创的要求中，洛杉矶地区的约 600 处商业和工业地产将必须清理其停车场的径流污水，或支付费用请他人清理。
洛杉矶区域水质控制委员会投票决定，要求排水口进入多明格斯（Dominguez）和洛塞里托斯（Los Cerritos）渠道的购物中心、仓库、私立医院和办公综合体必须获得雨水许可证。
该变更旨在让商业、工业和机构财产所有者对其场地流入排水管的污染负责，洛杉矶水质委员会主席 David Nahai 表示。
他说，这“解决了在这两个流域中覆盖城市景观的混凝土、沥青和其他不透水表面的影响，以保护下游小溪、河流和海滩的水质”。
多明格斯渠道始于霍桑（Hawthorne），涵盖加迪纳（Gardena）、托伦斯（Torrance）、港口门户（Harbor Gateway）、卡森（Carson）和威灵顿（Wilmington）的排水。洛塞里托斯渠道流域覆盖范围较小，包括莱克伍德（Lakewood）、贝尔花（Bellflower）、信号山（Signal Hill）和长滩（Long Beach）东部。
多年来一直推动这一变更的环境倡导者表示，新要求将在解决水污染方面产生重大影响。
“长期以来，城市和纳税人承担了清理这些大型商业地产所产生污染的所有费用，”执行主任 Bruce Reznik 说道。
他们枪击了 Aikebaer，并将其塞进他们的银色尼桑 Altima 汽车后备箱。
“这是一次经过精心策划的暴力行为，”圣贝纳迪诺县警长 Shannon Dicus 说道。
根据警方的说法，兄弟俩随后引导副警长进行了一场超过一英里的高速追逐，最后在 Wandering Ridge Drive 的 2400 街区停下。
Dicus 表示，在交通拦截期间，副警长并不知道车后备箱里有人。
“通常情况下，执法人员会命令人们下车，”Dicus 说，但 Jianquan Bo 下了车，吸引了副警长的注意力，而副警长在沟通时正面临语言障碍的困扰。就在这种混乱之中，67 岁的 Zhengfeng Bo 据称离开了车辆并枪击了受害者，随后被副警长的火力击毙。
Anderson 表示，副警长是在 Zhengfeng Bo 在后备箱内枪击受害者之后才开火的。由于引发副警长开火的行为完全是由已故嫌疑人实施的，Jianquan Bo 不能因其兄弟的死亡而被起诉。
“为了处理这件事，我们不得不翻阅法律书籍，”Anderson 说。
当地电视台获得的一段附近住宅的监控录像显示了嫌疑人在……之后的时刻。

停下了他们的车辆。 在视频中，一名被认为是郑丰波（Zhengfeng Bo）的男子被看到从驾驶员侧车门下车，随后他回到驾驶座并拉动后备箱释放杆。接着，他随意地走回后方，似乎在指向后备箱内部，随后他倒在地上。 当局表示，波在副警长开火将其击毙之前，枪杀了处于后备箱中的艾克拜尔（Aikebaer）。 波和艾克拜尔被宣布在现场死亡。 作为乘客的波建权（Jianquan Bo）未受伤，并被拘留。 警长办公室的谋杀案侦查员进行的初步调查确定，艾克拜尔当时与家人在家中，由于停电，他走到室外，随后与这对兄弟发生了冲突。 他们还表示，郑丰波和艾克拜尔彼此相识。

另一方则是“通过之前的工作关系”认识。 Anderson 表示，当局仍在试图确定绑架和枪击的动机，但怀疑两名男子之间的商业关系可能已经恶化。 他表示，调查人员将检查商业记录，以查明“是否存在财务动机，或者这仅仅是财务损失导致的结果”。 周一下午，受害者的车道上停满了汽车，家人聚集在此哀悼。几位家庭成员拒绝发表评论。 在接受《洛杉矶时报》采访时，在一起涉及 $20-million 的法律纠纷中代表 Zhengfeng Bo 的 Michael Chen 表示，他的客户与 Aikebaer 都是 Panshi Inc. 的商业伙伴，该公司是一家在欧文注册的商业房地产公司。 公开记录显示，Bo 为首席执行官，Aikebaer 为首席财务官兼秘书。 Chen 表示，Bo、Panshi 及另一名合伙人向一个公寓综合体的开发商提供了超过 $2 million 的贷款，由此引发了关于欠款和物业控制权的诉讼。 7月 27, Chen 针对开发商 Madison Collection 提出了另一项指控，寻求撤换其物业经理并将控制权转移给 Panshi。 该公司发言人暂时无法联系以发表评论。

位于帕萨迪纳的公寓综合体。 根据诉讼，Madison Collection 几个月来一直阻挠这些努力，拒绝移交账簿和银行账户。 Chen 表示，Aikebaer 在 Panshi 和开发商之间充当“中间人”，直到枪击发生那天，他认为这两个人的关系良好。他说，这其中没有什么“敌对”因素。 “但显然，发生了某些事情，”他说，“也许出现了一些促使 [Bo] 采取这一行动的信息。”

里弗赛德县 未能保护 婴儿免受致命 虐待
[Emmanuel，见 B1]
根据起诉书，伤情包括 摇晃婴儿综合征和 多处 肋骨 骨折 等其他伤害。最终，她导致了 四肢瘫痪且失明。 里弗赛德县 青少年 法院 随后终止了杰克 和瓦内萨·哈罗（Jake and Vanessa Haro）对其三个孩子的 父母权利。杰克被逮捕并 随后被判定犯有重罪故意 虐待儿童罪。 在 2023 年 7 月，他与新婚妻子 丽贝卡（Rebecca）生下了 Emmanuel 的姐姐。 在 2024 年 6 月提交 热线报告的人员 指出，执法部门 最近在丽贝卡的皮包中发现了一把枪，这 违反了杰克缓刑的 条款。 尽管该报告 要求在 10 天内做出回应，但根据 起诉书，一名 社会工作者直到 18 天后才走访 该家庭。 “毫无疑问，杰克·哈罗 是一个非常危险的人， 并且 [Emmanuel 的姐姐] 需要儿童保护服务的所有资源，” 起诉书称。“相反，DPSS 进行了 一次敷衍且严重 不足的调查。” 据指控，社会工作者 在杰克就其刑事记录的 性质撒谎时并未提出质疑， 也没有记录家中 存在的任何安全威胁， 尽管执法部门 最近发现了一把 “儿童可以完全接触到”的非法枪支，起诉书 声称。 该诉讼进一步 指称，社会工作者 在风险评估表上 对许多问题的回答是错误的。例如，她记录之前的 虐待调查次数为零，而 记录显示至少有两次——其中一次 涉及一名婴儿濒临死亡并导致一项重罪 定罪。她还记录 杰克从未对儿童造成过身体伤害，
七个月大的 Emmanuel Haro 在 2025 年 8 月去世，官员称，但其尸体仍未找到。
引发洪涝，这一次 发生在比佛利格罗夫 (Beverly Grove)
作者：Caroline Petrow-Cohen
周日上午，比弗利格罗夫 (Beverly Grove) 一根管道破裂导致积水流满街道，威胁到停放的车辆，并迫使该地区部分供水服务中断。
洛杉矶水बिज电局 (LADWP) 的工作人员在上午 6 点左右对圣维森特大道与林登赫斯特大道 (Lindenhurst Avenue) 交口附近的一根破裂管道做出响应。洪水最早于 4:48 报告。
圣维森特大道在林登赫斯特大道与奥兰多大道 (Orlando Avenue) 之间关闭。
LADWP 未披露这根 8 英寸铸铁管破裂的原因。
此次积水事故发生在近期洛杉矶地区其他几次水管爆裂之后。7 月 16 日，西好莱坞的一起重大水管爆裂事件迫使日落大道 (Sunset Boulevard) 的一段区域关闭，并导致部分居民搬离。
日落大道于 7 月 24 日在夜间重新开放。LADWP 表示，目前正在加速全面更换受影响的主干线，该项目原计划于 2031 年进行。
《洛杉矶时报》此前报道，上个月威尼斯 (Venice) 和好莱坞的另外两根破裂管道也已完成修复。
2019 年，LADWP 表示全市约 29% 的管道管龄超过 80 年，接近其典型的 100 年使用寿命。
诉状指称。
结果，该家庭被评定为未来的虐待风险为“低风险”评分，县政府无需立案，而立案本会导致对该家庭进行积极监控，并可能通过法院命令将儿童移出家中。
根据起诉书和执法官员的说法，几个月后，即 2024 年 12 月，Emmanuel 出生，随后 Jake 对两名孩子都实施了肢体虐待。
在针对 Jake 和 Rebecca Haro 的刑事案件中提交的证据显示，Emmanuel 出现了头部创伤和脑损伤的迹象，无法完全睁开眼睑，且无法坐起或支撑自己的头部。
当局表示，他于 2025 年 8 月因伤势死亡。他的父母最初试图通过虚构他被绑架来掩盖他的死亡。
他的尸体从未被找到。
Jake Haro 在承认二级谋杀、袭击 8 岁以下儿童以及向警方虚报犯罪后，于 11 月被判处 25 年至终身监禁。Rebecca Haro 在承认重罪虐待儿童致 5 岁以下儿童严重身体伤害，并带有非自愿过失杀人加重指控后，于 5 月被判处 12 年零 8 个月监禁。
Booth 表示，当公共社会服务局 (Department of Public Social Services) 2024 年接到通知前往 Jake Haro 家中并得知他有了新宝宝时，本应意识到这是一场“等待发生的灾难”，但却毫无作为。
“结果，那个宝宝和她的哥哥 Emmanuel（2024 年随后出生）遭受了 Jake 的肢体虐待，Emmanuel 最终被杀，”他说道。“这是一场本可以避免的悲剧。”

一名联邦法官驳回了由大洛杉矶动物园协会（Greater Los Angeles Zoo Assn.，简称 GLAZA）提交的破产申请。这使得洛杉矶市在与前筹款合作伙伴关于一笔为该动物园筹集的 $50-million 捐赠基金的法律斗争中再次获胜。
该裁决是在洛杉矶市检察官办公室辩称，GLAZA 申请第 11 章破产保护是为了拖延市政府关于捐赠基金控制权的诉讼之后作出的。这笔基金资助了该动物园的大部分特别项目、资本改良和展馆建设。
洛杉矶市在 2024, 年起诉了与其合作超过半个世纪的 GLAZA，指控该组织在筹款问题上违约、拒绝转移动物园数据以及主张对动物园资金拥有排他性控制权等问题。
洛杉矶市拥有并运营该动物园，并于 1963 年与 GLAZA 合作管理筹款、特别活动和其他服务。
今年 6 月，在与动物园的运营协议于去年到期后，该市获得了一项初步禁令，禁止 GLAZA 继续持有或分配该捐赠基金。

由县政府制作，刻画了 在 2015 年枪击案中 遇害的员工。
作者：Hailey Branson-Potts
不久之后，圣贝纳迪诺县（County of San Bernardino）的环境健康专家伊薇特·维拉斯科（Yvette Velasco）在 2015 年其办公室节日派对上的一场恐怖袭击中丧生，当地一家乡村俱乐部的厨师将她工作中的一件珍贵纪念品交给了她的父亲。那是一张她在该俱乐部厨房完成检查后的评级卡，上面有她的签名。
“他说他很喜欢她，”她的父亲罗伯特·维拉斯科（Robert Velasco）说道，“她为人很随和，但工作非常专业。她对待工作非常认真。”
维拉斯科在谈到这位厨师以及他 27 岁的女儿对工作的热爱时，是作为一部新纪录片的一部分，该片由县政府在圣贝纳迪诺内陆区域中心（Inland Regional Center）于 2015 年 12 月 2 日发生大规模枪击案十年后制作。在这次袭击中，有 14 人死亡，其中大多数是县政府雇员。
这部时长 37 分钟的电影名为《我们记得》（We Remember），拍摄对象包括受害者的家属、幸存者和急救人员。该片于上个月在 YouTube 上发布，并上传至县政府网站。
对于许多家属和幸存者来说，对袭击的记忆依然如此痛苦，以至于他们一直避免公开——
罗米娜·伯格曼（ROMINA BERGMAN，左）和萨亚·拉丁（Saya Radin）12 月在洛杉矶动物园与黑猩猩互动。
破产法院认定 GLAZA 的破产申请是“又一次恶意企图，旨在为了自身利益而干扰正在进行的诉讼，”市检察官海蒂·费尔德斯坦·索托（Hydee Feldstein Soto）在的一份声明中表示。
GLAZA 的发言人未能立即就此发表评论，但该组织此前告诉《洛杉矶时报》，它欠债权人的钱；其中包括欠给一家代表该非营利组织与市政府进行法律斗争的律师事务所 300,000 美元以上。
“市政府派遣了一支由八名律师组成的队伍，通过没完没了的证据开示、录取证词和法院文件来压制 GLAZA，目的就是为了增加 GLAZA 的法律费用，”该非营利组织在给《洛杉矶时报》的一份声明中说，“结果，GLAZA 除寻求破产法院的保护以确保 GLAZA 的生存及保护其捐赠者外，别无选择。”
在她的声明中，费尔德斯坦·索托主张，GLAZA 在过去一年左右的时间里花费了超过 100 万美元——其中至少 748,000 美元给了其总裁，至少 390,000 美元给了其律师——试图阻止市政府追回捐赠基金。
在洛杉矶动物园继续陷入困境之际，这一裁决是这两个实体之间混乱分歧的最新进展。
这座动物园饲养了 1,600 多个动物，多年来已变得破旧不堪。
由于需要大规模翻修，狮子、熊、海狮和鹈鹕的展区已经关闭。在动物权利倡导者就生活条件以及死亡记录和健康挑战进行了数十年的活动后，最后两头大象比利（Billy）和蒂娜（Tina）于去年被转移到塔尔萨动物园（Tulsa Zoo）。动物权利团体长期以来一直寻求将这些大象转移到保护区。
这座拥有 59 年历史的动物园位于格里菲斯公园（Griffith Park）东北角的 133 英亩土地上，在维持其国家认证方面也面临困难，联邦监管机构发现部分展区的油漆脱落且有锈迹。
洛杉矶动物园官员在 2024 年 11 月的一份预算文件中写道，美国农业部检查员和动物园与水族馆协会发现“严重缺乏资金和人员来处理即便最基础的修缮工作”。
洛杉矶县一名民事大陪审团在 6 月的一份报告中发现，洛杉矶的预算短缺和动物园会员人数的减少，将使其难以在长期内维持这座动物园。
为了维护动物园的遗产，该报告建议在明年春天前寻找新所有者。

多年来的公开性。但电影制片人们希望关注县政府雇员的韧性及其不被歌颂的贡献——而不仅仅是悲剧。 “我们试图在不揭开伤口的同时保持纪念的平衡，”圣贝纳迪诺县主管库尔特·哈格曼（Curt Hagman）告诉我。“作为个县政府大家庭，我们关系非常紧密，而这件事对我们来说很重要……让那些家庭、受害者知道我们仍然经常想起他们，并将继续永远缅怀他们。”
本周气温将略有下降
将获得一定的缓解， 但气温将 维持在正常水平之上。
作者：Alex Wigglesworth
南加利福尼亚州的沿海地区将迎来最新一波夏季热浪带来的部分缓解，预计本周气候将略有凉爽。
据美国国家气象局称，到周三为止，沿海地带和沿海山谷每天将下降 1 到 2 度，尽管气温仍将高于正常水平。
预报指出，部分沿海地区将出现局部浓雾。
气象局表示，低海拔山区和深内陆地区将继续出现 100 到 110 度的最高气温。高温警报将持续至周三。据气象局称，部分地区还将出现强风，羚羊谷（Antelope Valley）的阵风将达到 35 到 40 英里 / 小时。
气象局预测，由于炎热、干燥和多风的条件（包括长时间的个位数湿度水平），内陆山谷、山区和沙漠在周六之前将出现较高且短暂达到临界值的火灾天气条件。气象局表示，一旦起火，火势迅速蔓延并产生巨大垂直烟羽的可能性增加，这可能导致火灾行为难以预测。
内陆地区有 20% 到 30% 的概率出现红旗警报条件，即临界火灾天气持续六小时或更长时间。

由三位县多媒体制作专家制作、导演、拍摄并剪辑：Shanele Alvarez、Branson Tay 和 Megan Perez。
Alvarez 告诉我，他们在袭击发生时都未在县政府工作。他们的灵感来自圣贝纳迪诺县政府中心外的“勇气之帷”纪念碑（Curtain of Courage Memorial）—— 14 个青铜壁龛，每个都像保护墙一样弯曲，分别献给一名受害者。
“我们希望为这些名字赋予面孔和个性，”自 2021 年起在该县工作的 Tay 说道。
“他们不仅仅是名字。这些人确实将生命奉献给了服务我们的社区。”
“无名英雄” 袭击发生当天，县环境卫生服务部门的员工正聚集在一起参加培训会议和节日庆祝活动，此时他们的同事、餐厅检查员 Syed Rizwan Farook 及其妻子 Tashfeen Malik 带着军用风格的突击步枪走进来并开火。
在纪录片中，公共卫生主任 Joshua Dugas 表示，环境卫生服务部门“充满了无名英雄”。
“他们帮助保护我们吃的食物，我们喝的水，”他说，“他们确保废物得到妥善处理。他们在灾难期间做出响应。在生活的几乎每一个方面，他们都处于幕后。”

气象部门称，在周二至周六之间的某个时间点。最高风险地区包括 5 号州际公路走廊、圣路易斯-奥比斯波县的内陆山区和山谷、库亚马山谷以及圣巴巴拉县和文图拉县的内陆山区。
预报员预计，湿度水平将在周六前增加，这可能会限制夜间冷却，并与高温结合，引发新一轮的高温预警。
南加州经历了炎热且异常闷热的夏天，接连而至的热浪使预报员和公共卫生部门警告中暑等相关疾病的风险增加。
科学家表示，随着化石燃料的燃烧导致气候变暖，此类热浪正变得更加炎热且更加频繁。
近几周，由于多次南向涌浪（最近是由热带风暴 Genevieve 引起），沿海地区也出现了危险的离岸流和异常高涨的浪潮。
根据海滩与港口部的说法，周六，由于高潮位和浪潮导致“极度侵蚀”，洛杉矶县关闭了 Point Dume 海滩的几处洗手间和一条进入道路。高浪还导致两列从圣路易斯-奥比斯波开往圣地亚哥的太平洋冲浪者号（Pacific Surfliner）列车取消。
气象部门称，到周一，危险情况已基本消退。

Damian 是一名环境卫生检查员，他在该聚会的圣诞树下去世。电影中提到，“他非常热爱他的工作——他热爱帮助人们保持安全，并且喜欢鼓励人们回收利用。” Meins 说，因为她的父亲，她以前经常系着荧光绿色的鞋带，上面写着“减量、复用、回收”，且由回收材料制成。
幸存者的心愿 Valerie Weber 在纪录片中表示，她曾被 AR-15 步枪击中两次并幸存下来，她在袭击发生前仅 7 周才开始这份县政府的工作。 肩部的枪伤导致她的手暂时瘫痪。背部的一颗子弹击碎了她的骨盆。她在五年期间经历了 60 次手术，在医院度过了大约 360 天。
袭击发生五年后，她第一次开车行驶了三个街区——这是一个微小但意义重大的胜利。次年，她第一次骑了自行车，“那感觉相当震撼”。
当电影显示她参加义卖活动和做志愿者的照片时，她说她不希望被人们视为一名恐怖袭击的幸存者——她希望被人们记住为一个创造了改变的人。
Soto-Martinez 的发言人 Nick Barnes-Batista 表示，情况相似且面临类似问题的人很多。Barnes-Batista 说，Galicia 邻近的空地自至少 1 月底起就已在市政府的关注之列。在加利福尼亚州的住房危机中，住宅区内的任何空地都是增加急需住所的机会，无论是单户住宅还是公寓楼。最近在西好莱坞，一群郊狼开始占据一个被遗弃的公寓建设工地。去年在北好莱坞，邻居们投诉一栋空置的公寓楼变成了毒窟，最终该楼被拆除。
对于 Galicia 来说，日子并不好过。在他努力重建的同时， he不得不抵挡经常擅自闯入其房产的流浪者。与此同时，他抱怨市政府在防止他人擅闯他的家或相邻空地，以及帮助他寻找重建资源方面做得太少——Soto-Martinez 的办公室对此说法予以否认。在参观被烧毁的房屋遗迹时，Galicia 指着散落在屋子里的避孕套包装袋和一个装满用完的一氧化二氮气罐的盒子。这种气体通常被人们吸入以寻求快感。在前院里，一个看起来很新的睡袋被扔在一边，Galicia 说那是刚刚被使用过的。
为了防止人们进入他的房产，Galicia 安装了链条围栏，将他的家与相邻空地隔开。但他表示，阻止不速之客的努力被证明是徒劳的，他经常发现新的闯入证据。同时，他说隔壁的空地仍未采取安保措施，且堆满了流浪者留下的垃圾。被遗弃的物品中有一台烧焦的冰箱、床架、一个破旧且满是涂鸦的沙发，成堆的遗留衣物以及房屋被焚毁后的残骸。

民主党支持财富税
人们举起标语支持 40 号提案，该提案将为医疗保健提供资金。
[亿万富翁，接 B1]
虽然得到了包括参议员 Bernie Sanders（独立人士-佛蒙特州）和众议员 Ro Khanna（民主党-弗里蒙特）在内的进步派人士的支持，但其他人，包括州长 Gavin Newsom、州长候选人 Xavier Becerra 以及一个日益增长的工会名单，则表示反对，认为该税收的一次性性质以及亿万富翁的流失可能会给加利福尼亚州的州预算带来弊大于利的后果。
“这次背书打破了加利福尼亚州民主党人在亿万富翁税上不统一的看法——事实上他们是统一的，”SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West 的主席 Dave Regan 说道。该工会收集了足够的签名使 40 号提案进入选票。
Regan 引用了一项内部民调，发现超过 80% 的登记民主党人支持这项税收，“现在，加利福尼亚州民主党通过这次背书正式接纳了这种强有力的支持。”
公众舆论调查显示，该措施获得了微弱的多数支持。根据加利福尼亚州公共政策研究所 5 月的一项民调，54% 的潜在选民和 76% 的民主党人表示支持。
JUAN GALICIA 每天访问他的家，发现流浪者留下的避孕套包装袋和垃圾。他试图将他们拒之门外，但无济于事。
曾经矗立在那里。 Soto-Martinez 办公室的工作人员表示，他们已指引 Galicia 向各个市政部门寻求帮助，但他表示这并没有效果。 Galicia 称，他目前资金紧张，且房屋保险未能覆盖损失。在火灾发生后的几个月里，这次火灾导致 10 名家庭成员流离失所，他每月除了支付 $2,000 的抵押贷款外，还需支付 $6,000 的租金——这在经济和情感上都是一种沉重的负担。 “我有贷款要还，有税金要交，”Galicia 说道。 洛杉矶消防局的一份报告显示，火灾始于 3 月 8 日下午，当时 Galicia 正在他担任牧师的南洛杉矶 Ministerio Esperanza 教堂。火势迅速蔓延到 Galicia 的家中以及另一处房产。扑灭火灾耗时 8 个多小时，并出动了数十名消防员
表示将投票支持该税收。 第 40 号提案寻求在五年内筹集 $100 亿，以填补总统特朗普去年签署的《一个宏大美丽法案》（One Big Beautiful Bill Act）中对医疗补助（Medicaid）和食品援助计划的削减。其支持者认为，联邦减税是以低收入人群为代价使富人受益，而第 40 号提案将扭转这一损害。 其反对者（包括加利福尼亚州教师协会以及花费数百万美元试图击败该措施的科技创始人）则认为，这可能会促使亿万富翁离开加利福尼亚州前往其他州，从而导致州预算不稳定——而该预算已经对高收入者征收较高税率。 在的一份声明中，“反对 40 号提案”竞选活动称，纽森、贝塞拉以及包括加利福尼亚州职业消防员工会和加利福尼亚州计划生育附属机构在内的组织反对该税收，“因为它对我们的预算不利，对我们的经济不利，对我们的未来不利。我们需要面对最大挑战的智能、持久的解决方案，而不是那些不可靠、未经测试且
将其拆除。 Galicia 表示，虽然没有家庭成员受伤，但他的两只狗被火烧死。 消防局的报告中没有确定明确的起火原因，报告称，由于邻近地块上的房屋在火灾后成为了“公共危险”，因此被拆除。 根据洛杉矶市规划局的文件，Galicia 家旁边的地块以及相邻的一个地块，原计划开发成一个 22 单元、四层高的公寓综合体。该项目最近的申请文件于 2021. 年提交给市政府。被指出的开发商未回应置评请求。 Galicia 说，他每天晚上都会回到他的房产那里待几个小时，只是为了感受回家的感觉。 那里已经被完全烧焦，但框架和房间仍基本
削减医疗保健、教育和公共安全的预算。” 民主党执行委员会成员在周日于圣地亚哥举行的一次会议上支持了该措施。该党还投票反对两项旨在削弱亿万富翁税的竞争性投票措施，以及一项选民身份验证措施和一项旨在削弱《加利福尼亚州环境质量法》以推进住房和基础设施项目的提案。 民主党投票支持两项住房债券——一项 $11.25 亿的用于建设经济适用房的债券，以及一项 $25 亿的首付款援助计划——以及一项 $8.4 亿的免疫学研究债券。 该党还支持一项措施，旨在使现有的针对高收入者且用于资助教育和医疗保健的税收成为永久性税收。 “我们的每一次背书都是赢来的，而非白给的，”加利福尼亚州民主党主席 Rusty Hicks 在一份声明中表示。“加利福尼亚州民主党在背书过程中采取审慎的方法，将我们的价值观放在首位，并确保我们的成员在塑造我们州的未来方面拥有有意义的发声权。”

洛杉矶水资源守护者（Los Angeles Waterkeeper）组织。 但开发商、业主和商业团体的代表对成本和要求表示担忧，并称这些要求有时并不明确。商业团体表示，他们已经在洛杉矶县缴纳财产税，其中包括一项用于清理雨水的专项税，因此以这种方式实施新规定是没有意义的。 洛杉矶县商业联合会（BizFed）的迈克·刘易斯（Mike Lewis）在 6 月表示，这项新要求很可能会面临上诉。 “等到最终决定做出时，情况可能会完全不同，”刘易斯在电子邮件中说道。“按照目前的写法，该许可让现有业主承担追溯成本，同时忽略了他们多年来一直诚信缴纳的雨水税。” 强制实施雨水许可的努力在洛杉矶县已经讨论多年。 2015 年，环保组织就此问题向美国国家环境保护局（EPA）提交了请愿书。他们在法庭上获胜，为洛杉矶水务委员会采取行动扫清了障碍。 由于污染水平较高，南加利福尼亚州的许多小溪和混凝土衬砌渠道被监管机构视为“受损”。 当雨水落在停车场上，水流冲刷而出，携带车辆轮胎和刹车片产生的金属粉尘和化学物质、发动机产生的油污，以及垃圾中的细菌。 设施可以通过三种方式遵守新规则：他们可以确保从其物业流出的水符合污染限制；他们可以建造蓄水池或植生沟，在水渗入地下之前过滤掉污染物；或者他们可以协助支付城市所需的当地雨水项目资金。 拥有至少五英亩不透水表面的物业将受到这些规则的约束。
工匠风格。但他不确定需要多长时间，因为他必须自掏腰包支付项目的大部分费用。 “我的处境非常艰难，”他说。“我已经失去了一切。”

州政府官员估计，对于决定资助当地雨水项目的业主，每英亩铺装或不透水表面的成本为 $4,100，并表示其他方案的成本可能会高得多。 6 月，加利福尼亚州海岸守护者联盟（California Coastkeeper Alliance）和其他非营利组织试图通过向其他六个区域水务委员会提交请愿，将清洁水的保护措施扩展到全州。 他们还呼吁加利福尼亚州立法机关和州水资源控制委员会扩大这些要求的覆盖范围，但商业团体对此表示反对。 2022 年，州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）否决了一项将要求全州许多企业办理雨水许可的立法。 2025 年，一项类似的法案面临反对并在立法机关中失效。 环保组织使用美国国家环境保护局（EPA）开发的方法估计，未受监管的企业导致了水路中 30% 到 60% 的铜和锌污染，而这些金属在高浓度下对鱼类和其他动物有毒。 加利福尼亚州海岸守护者联盟执行主任肖恩·博思韦尔（Sean Bothwell）表示，直到现在，企业无需减少流入排水管的污染水，清理工作的成本一直由城市和县承担。 “那些拥有仓库、履约中心和购物中心的公司在 30 年里一直不劳而获，而公众却在出钱清理他们造成的混乱，”他说。“那个时代即将结束。”

远离大学足球最负盛名的宿敌之争，教练依然坚持指出赛程的不公平，因为南加州大学在极其艰苦的 Big Ten 赛程中还要面对圣母大学。与此同时，圣母大学希望达成一项长期协议，将比赛维持在该系列赛一贯的赛季末时间段。他们的争议通过一系列公关信函展开，始于去年 5 月，当时圣母大学体育主任 Pete Bevacqua 向《体育画报》暗示，由于南加州大学不想继续这项传统，这一宿敌之争正处于危险之中。但在停止谈判，随后再次回到谈判桌后，两所学校在周一宣布地找到了一种达成协议的方法。

Eala 成为首位获得 WTA 单打冠军的菲律宾女性
记者及电讯报道
亚历山德拉·Eala (Alexandra Eala) 在 DC 公开赛的突破之周比预期多持续了一天。当比赛结束时，她本周早些时候穿着的耐克 T 恤上所写的菲律宾语已成为现实：“一旦成长，便不可阻挡。”
由于大雨，女子决赛被延长至两天。周一，Eala 以 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 逆转击败杰西卡·佩古拉 (Jessica Pegula)，夺得职业生涯首个 WTA 巡回赛冠军。
这次胜利使 21 岁的 Eala 成为首位赢得该巡回赛单打冠军的菲律宾女性，完成了与佩古拉当年在华盛顿赛夺得首个 WTA 冠军时相同的职业生涯里程碑式突破（2019 年）。
“在本周开始时，我绝不会想到我会持有这座奖杯，”Eala 说道。“赢得一个 500 [级赛事] 简直太疯狂了。对我来说这是一个不可思议的里程碑。”
在周一晚些时候举行的男子决赛中，种子选手排名第三的泰勒·弗里茨 (Taylor Fritz) 以 7-6 (2), 6-4 击败拉斐尔·乔达尔 (Rafael Jodar)。弗里茨在第二盘早期的两局中打破了这位西班牙选手的发球局，并在错失四个早期的冠军点后，最终把握住了第五个冠军点。
周日晚上，卡米拉·拉希莫娃 (Kamilla Rakhimova) 以 6-4, 6-1 击败了温图斯·威廉姆斯 (Venus Williams)，这场被雨水延迟的比赛拉开了多伦多国家银行公开赛女子主抽签的序幕。
在这次 WTA 1000 赛事中获得单打外卡入场券的 46 岁威廉姆斯，自 2025 年 7 月以来已连续输掉了 12 场比赛。

仅是其中的一小部分。在压力之下，因凡蒂诺于周五宣布撤回这项名为“FIFA Forward Enterprise”的计划。但事实证明，该提案的内容比最初想象的要多得多，而且多得多。这就是为什么因凡蒂诺在明年三月竞选第四任FIFA主席的活动——两周前还获得超过 200 名FIFA成员支持的竞选——现在看来注定失败。塞尔维亚、瑞典和威尔士的国家足协于周一撤回了对因凡蒂诺的支持，预计英格兰足协（FA）也将采取同样行动。欧足联（UEFA）作为欧洲足球的管理机构，也是FIFA六大洲际足联中最大且最强大的组织，目前正威胁要采取法律行动；而另外两个足联——美洲两大足联中最大的中北美及加勒比足联（CONCACAF）以及管理亚洲足球的亚足联（AFC）——已经发表了谴责声明。
这三个足联共代表了近 140 名FIFA成员，这意味着如果他们保持团结，因凡蒂诺将无法获得赢得连任所需的 106 票。那么，我们是如何走到这一步的？因凡蒂诺是如何从一名进步的改革者、一个崭新透明且负责任的FIFA监督者，变成一个试图在字面上“出售”世界杯的人？这段旅程可能并没有看起来那么长，因为因凡蒂诺可能从未像最初被感知的那样像个“童子军”。在 2016, 年他首次当选主席几天后，泄露的文件中出现了他的名字，表明他在担任欧足联高级法律官员期间，与一家随后被卷入美国FIFA腐败调查的公司共同签署了一份广播协议。同年晚些时候，一个FIFA委员会开始调查因凡蒂诺是否违反了组织的《道德准则》。虽然因凡蒂诺最终在调查中被洗清，但另一种模式很快显现，他从一名足球官僚演变成了认为自己应该与各国总统和国王交往的人。因凡蒂诺接手了已经授予俄罗斯和卡塔尔的世界杯，但他极力淡化这两个国家的人权侵害问题。俄罗斯总统普京通过向这位FIFA负责人授予“荣誉勋章”作为回报。

44 年来洛杉矶将首次举办奥运会，届时将迎来来自 200 多个国家、参与 51 个项目的 11,198 名运动员，在 20 天内展开竞争。2028 年残奥会将首次来到洛杉矶，其 23 项残疾人体育项目的赛程将在开幕式之前首次开始比赛。
尽管规模不同，但LA28首席运营官约翰·哈珀（John Harper）称，世界杯成功举办的当地赛事在“很多方面对我们来说都是一个巨大的学习机会”。作为一名球迷和幕后观察者参加世界杯比赛，哈珀对洛杉矶地铁（L.A. Metro）提供的交通服务印象深刻。该机构表示，通过加强服务，它提供了超过 212,000 次直接往返于SoFi体育场以及洛杉矶县和橙县 15 个停车和交通枢纽的行程。不同公共合作伙伴之间的跨部门协作确保了八场比赛顺利进行，没有出现重大故障，这让哈珀深受鼓舞。但最大的教训在于那些挤满观看派对、街道和酒吧的球迷精神。
“这真实地展示了体育的力量，”哈珀说，“不仅是体育馆内的能量，还有整个城市的能量。洛杉矶是一个如此多元化的城市，你真的能看到世界在洛杉矶的街道上活了起来。”
施洛斯曼（Schloessman）表示，世界杯超出了预期，带来了经济效应和当地供应商机会。
LAFC共同管理所有者拉里·伯格（Larry Berg）在担任MLS历史上的第三任专员时将面临艰巨的挑战。
足球报告
工作人员及电讯报道
LAFC 的共同管理所有者 Larry Berg 周一被选为 MLS 历史上第三任委员长，他将在 Don Garber 于 12 月退休后接任。Berg 自 LAFC 成立起就加入了该俱乐部，在球队 2018. 年进入 MLS 以来，助力其成为联盟中最成功的特许经营球队。他曾持有意大利 AS Roma 和威尔士俱乐部 Swansea City 的所有权股份，并曾担任 MLS 体育与竞赛委员会的共同主席。
Berg，60, 岁，还在私募股权领域工作了三十多年，在 2022 年退休前曾担任 Apollo Global Management 的高级合伙人。
“我很荣幸能带领大联盟足球 (Major League Soccer) 进入下一个 era，” lifelong 足球迷兼球员的 Berg 在联盟发布的一份声明中表示，“感谢这么多人的远见和承诺，大联盟足球已经取得了巨大的成功，但我相信我们最大的机遇依然在前方。”
正当 MLS 进入其发展的关键阶段时，Berg 将面临巨大的挑战。在任职 27 年的 Garber 领导下，MLS 从 10 支球队扩张到了 30 支。Garber 还主导了联盟薪资结构的多次变革，包括指定球员规则的推出，该规则允许 MLS 俱乐部签下包括 Lionel Messi、David Beckham 和 Thierry Henry 在内的球星，同时将中位数保证薪资提升至 $360,000.。
在 Garber 成为委员长两年后，他帮助联盟免于破产，在他离任时，联盟 30 支球队的合计估值预计将达到 230 亿美元 billion。包括 Berg 的 LAFC 在内的五支球队，每支的估值均超过 10 亿美元 billion。
随着美国仅第二次举办该赛事，联盟正试图利用足球普及度的浪潮，Berg 将面临一些艰巨的挑战。
友谊勋章。卡塔尔做得比那更好，向 Infantino 提供了政府机队中一架豪华的湾流 G650 喷气机使用权。
如果出生于瑞士、父母是意大利蓝领的 Infantino 此前是被权力与金钱的欲望所驱动，那么一位前密友告诉《伦敦时报》，这位 FIFA 主席“现在将自己视为寡头之一”。
而且，没有任何政府比 特朗普 政府更让 Infantino 能够深入权力走廊。

……社会与社区参与。LASEC 在 10 个不同的地点设立了球迷区，其中以在大球场 (Coliseum) 举行的赛事开幕庆典为亮点。洛杉矶市举办了七场免费的“公园踢球”观赛派对。体育酒吧和餐厅里挤满了顾客，把啤酒桶喝干了。
“那是短短六周的时间间隔，人们彼此喜欢，人们在一起寻找乐趣，” Schloessman 说道。
LA28 希望在奥运会期间的主要体育区域创造类似的和谐氛围。多个场馆聚集的区域，如 L.A. Live、Exposition Park、Long Beach、Inglewood 和 Carson，将设有专门的球迷区。
虽然 LA28 将负责举办奥运会的官方直播现场，但当地社区可以组织自己的赛时活动。在世界杯之前，LASEC 与当地组织和企业合作推广机会，包括观赛派对、聚会或主题装饰，同时仍严格遵守有关 FIFA 广播和标志的规定。LA28 将在奥运会和残奥会之前提供类似的指导。
“我们有责任与组织者、当局一起，为尽可能多的人创造奥运体验，” 国际奥委会体育总监 Pierre Ducrey 说道，他对那种氛围印象深刻。
球迷们在 7 月于 SoFi 体育场举行的西班牙队与比利时队世界杯四分之一决赛前聚集。
他在堪萨斯市的一次 FIFA 粉丝活动中，观看了一场由他的家乡瑞士队对阵阿根廷队的比赛。 “无论他们是否持有进入体育场的门票，我们都希望为他们创造可以铭记的特别时刻。” LA28 在其首次放票中售出了超过 4 million 张门票，在经过上周的预售之后，第二次放票将于 8 月 10 日恢复。 凭借 14 million 张可用门票，2028 年奥运会可能会打破巴黎 2024, 年创下的销售纪录，后者在奥运会和残奥会之间售出了 12 million 张门票。

波切蒂诺同意续约四年 毛里西奥·波切蒂诺将留在美国国家足球队，周一同意签署一份为期四年的合同，将带领美国队打到 2030 年世界杯。 这位 54 岁的教练于 2024 年 10 月接任，他带领美国队进入了世界杯 16 强，但作为赛事共同主办国，美国队在 4-1 负于比利时后被淘汰。 尽管如此，在这次扩军至 48 支球队的赛事中，他帮助作为种子队的美国队实现了两项突破：提前一场比赛锁定小组赛出线资格，并在单届世界杯中赢下三场比赛。
中东地区，且经常访问白宫。 去年 10 月，因凡蒂诺在 Instagram 上表示，特朗普“绝对配得上”诺贝尔和平奖。当特朗普没有获奖时，因凡蒂诺直接创建了自己的奖项，于去年 12 月向特朗普颁发了首届 FIFA 和平奖。 但与美国政府高层接触的机会，可能促成了因凡蒂诺的“伊卡洛斯时刻”（飞向太阳而坠落）。 因凡蒂诺坠落的开端可能始于去年在白宫，当时他与葡萄牙球星克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多出席了一场正式晚宴，以向沙特阿拉伯王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼致敬。 五天前，罗纳—

“世界杯期间发生的奇妙事情，与人们的联系，当然还有整个组织和一切，都是关键点，”波切蒂诺在西班牙巴塞罗那家中通过 Zoom 举行的新闻发布会上说道。 波切蒂诺将下一个周期视为该计划的新开始，因为该计划在门将和中后卫位置上缺乏高质量的深度。 波切蒂诺在西班牙和伦敦都有住所，他表示自己可能会搬到美国。他打算在美国队待到 2030 年，但为自己留了退路。 “四年的时间真的非常长。你永远不知道足球世界中会发生什么，”他说。“今天人们可能真的很爱你。但八周之后，也许这种感觉会改变。” 他带领美国队取得了 17 场胜利（包括一次点球大战获胜）、13 场失败和 1 场平局。在波切蒂诺执教期间出场的 62 名球员中，有 23 人贡献了球队的 57 个进球。
在世界杯决赛期间，圣莫尼卡市中心封闭了一英多里程的街道，举办了一场吸引了 20,000 人的街区派对。圣莫尼卡市长卡罗琳·托罗西斯 (Caroline Torosis) 自豪地强调，这次活动是免费的。
“我认为大型全球赛事有着榨取性的历史，”托罗西斯说。“我们正试图改变这一点。我们还试图将其作为展示城市本身的一个机会。所以，我们如何才能在让本地社区获益的同时，向该地区重新介绍圣莫尼卡？”
圣莫尼卡在获得 2028 奥运会比赛举办机会时犹豫了。在 2025, 关于在标志性码头附近举办沙滩排球赛的谈判破裂，此前一项研究表明，成为举办地城市可能会导致 $1.45 million 的净亏损，而如果不举办比赛，由于该市作为热门旅游目的地的地位，仍能产生 $10.65 million 的利润。
圣莫尼卡已经达成协议，将在 2028, 为包括法国和瑞士在内的几个国家提供款待之家 (hospitality houses)。广播合作伙伴将在该市标志性的码头设立工作室。随着观看派对和其他面向球迷的便捷庆祝活动的计划，托罗西斯设想圣莫尼卡将成为奥运期间的“必到之地”。
“我们已经为即将进入该市的人流做好了准备，”托罗西斯说。“我认为国际足联 (FIFA) 的活动是一次极佳的演习。”
英格尔伍德 (Inglewood) 处于世界杯的中心地带，（此处文本缺失 / 跳转）
……罗纳尔多此前因严重犯规被出示红牌并禁赛三场，这一处罚将迫使他错过世界杯的开赛。在白宫活动之后，国际足联宣布罗纳尔多的禁赛被解除，使得这位世界杯的明星吸引力之一能够参加锦标赛。特朗普在上个月回忆起这一事件，当时他在一场与比利时队的 16 强赛前一天，亲自——且成功地——请求因凡蒂诺 (Infantino) 解除美国前锋福拉林·巴洛贡 (Folarin Balogun) 的红牌禁赛。这是历史上第二次在世界杯期间撤销禁赛。
因凡蒂诺还为今夏的锦标赛推行了许多世界杯首创之举。他在每半场增加了三分钟的补水休息时间，打破了长达一个半世纪的足球传统，同时为广播公司提供了额外六分钟的广告时间；他为决赛引入了中场表演，将该赛事最重要比赛的休息时间几乎增加了一倍；他还开创了一种动态定价方案，使门票价格比 2022. 翻了一倍多。
这些举措旨在增加国际足联的收入，而且确实起到了作用——就像因凡蒂诺推动将 2026 世界杯扩展到 48 支球队和 104 场比赛那样。但他的运气在计划让外部投资者分享锦标赛份额时用尽了，这一计划为白宫所知——据报道，贾里德·库什纳 (Jared Kushner) 最初参与其中——但极少有其他人知情。该计划中一个极具破坏性的部分涉及因凡蒂诺未来在投资基金中可能担任的角色。作为国际足联主席，因凡蒂诺的年薪为 $6 million，但如果连任，他只能再担任一届，这意味着他将在 2031. 失业。
然而，多份引用匿名消息来源的报道称，因凡蒂诺被安置在国际足联后的日子里担任投资部门的首席执行官，该职位的年薪为 $30 million。国际足联表示，这一想法从未被讨论过。它还否认了周一有关因凡蒂诺试图联系特朗普以寻求帮助挽救其主席职位的报道。
但如果他被推开，且私人股权经理的梦想未能实现，特朗普认为他还可以从事另一份工作。据报道，总统正考虑推动因凡蒂诺在安东尼奥·古特雷斯 (António Guterres) 的任期于 12 月届满时，成为下一任联合国秘书长。
在 SoFi 体育场举行了八场比赛。英格尔伍德市长詹姆斯·T·巴茨（James T. Butts Jr.）表示，估计有 625,000 名球迷带来了经济增长，其中数千人即使没有比赛门票，也远道而来支持自己的国家队。
来自世界各地、身着各国代表色服装的球迷涌向市场街（Market Street），参加由该市主办的“木杯”（Wood Cup）节日以开启锦标赛。赛前密集的游行让不熟悉这一传统的组织者们感到震惊。
虽然根据国际足联（FIFA）的赞助规定，SoFi 体育场的名称被改为“洛杉矶体育场”，但广播公司仍然强调他们是在英格尔伍德。
“英格尔伍德现在成为一座国际化城市，这确实增强了社区的自豪感，”巴茨说。
英格尔伍德将继续成为这些超级事件故事的背景。SoFi 体育场除了在五年内举办第二次超级碗（Super Bowl）外，还将成为 2028 奥运会开幕式（将与纪念柱体育场共同承担）以及奥运游泳比赛和残奥会开幕式的举办地。邻近的 Intuit Dome 将举办奥运篮球赛。
全球性事件的接踵而至并未让巴茨感到不安。在一个不到一年的时间里将举办一场 NBA 全明星赛、八场世界杯比赛和另一场超级碗的城市里，奥运会的篇章早已写就。
“我们一次又一次地在做这件事，”巴茨说，“这就是我们的工作。”

在周日晚上于道奇体育场举行的一场比赛中，火热的波士顿红袜队击出四支本垒打，其中三支是由陷入困境的先发投手 Emmet Sheehan 贡献的，最终波士顿以 8-4 获胜。这使得道奇队本赛季第二次遭遇横扫。
波士顿在第三局的四次击球机会中就击出了三支本垒打，Sheehan 连续被 Ceddanne Rafaela、Wilyer Abreu 和 Masataka Yoshida 击出长打。这是道奇队在不到一个月的时间里，在主场第二次遭遇三场比赛被横扫。
“执行力太差了，”Sheehan 表示，“我没能把球投在预定位置。”
波士顿在第一局就给 Sheehan 造成了压力，Yoshida 和 Caleb Durbin 各击出一支由 RBI（打点）单打。
道奇队 (69-43) 在第二局回应以三分，Eliézer Alfonzo 在面对红袜先发投手 Jake Bennett 时通过一次内野地滚球获得了一个打点。随后，Andy Pages 通过一支右外野单打又带回了两分。他在第七局还击出了一支打点双ضرب，为道奇队贡献了最后一分。
Sheehan (4-8) 在过去七场先发比赛中的防御率 (ERA) 为 6.39，他在仅 2 2⁄3 局的投球中被击出六次安打，失五分。
救援投手 Wyatt Mills 同样表现挣扎，在两局中失两分。
“我不知道，”Sheehan 在谈到这段低迷期时说，“如果我知道原因，我会去解决它，但我会继续尝试修复。……我能做的唯一事情就是努力变得更好。没有其他选择。”
道奇队经理 Dave Roberts 补充道：“我只是觉得 [Sheehan] 今天的状态一点都不犀利。……对方的挥击非常放松且激进。虽然有一些三振和挥空，但归根结底，关键在于限制失分，如果你不能把球控制在球场内，那么很难获胜。”

尽管在周六的比赛中因球击中脚部而离场，但仍能从替补席回归。 “我今天感觉好多了，脚能承重了，”罗哈斯 (Rojas) 说道，并补充说他的X光检查结果为阴性。 “好在没有骨折。所以我没事。如果教练需要我，且情况允许……我必须每天都随时待命。” 道尔顿·拉辛 (Dalton Rushing) 因右臂轻微不适而被除名；阿尔方佐 (Alfonzo) 代替他首发。 “道尔顿在赛前传接球时出现了一些手臂不适，这非常罕见，”罗伯茨 (Roberts) 说道，并补充说X光检查结果为阴性。“我不想冒险让他继续强撑，所以我决定将他除名。” “他今天接受了治疗，我预计他会随队乘机，然后视具体情况而定。”

他在底特律老虎队度过了八年。无论如何，那个地方对我来说永远是特别的。与此同时，我很兴奋能和这些家伙在一起。当你从远处观察他们，在电视上看到他们的表现时，你会产生很多敬意，因为他们是以正确的方式在比赛。 “这个组织的全部焦点都在于赢得冠军，而我在打球时的全部焦点也是如此，所以我们的目标非常一致。我已经准备好走出去竞争，为这个组织和这座城市付出我的一切。” 道奇队在周一完成了交易截止日的最后修整，由于 Dalton Rushing 因左肘扭伤进入 10 天伤病名单，球队通过收购 Ben Rortvedt 和 Hunter Feduccia 来增加接捕手深度，这两名接捕手是他们此前就非常熟悉的球员。他们还增加了一名左投手 Kris Bubic，他在肩膀伤势康复后将能发挥作用。然而，一直以来很明显，Skubal 将成为这次截止日最大的动作——事实上是对任何球队而言都是如此。而对于对方球队的球迷来说，这无疑增加了他们对这支似乎能得到任何想要球员的球队的挫败感。 “我认为道奇队在球员培养方面做得非常出色，” 同样参与了 Skubal 交易谈判的棒球运营总裁 Jed Hoyer 说道。 “他们拥有非常优秀的农场系统，Scott [Harris] 为老虎队做了能做的最好的事情，并换回了许多人才。显然，他们也为自己的球队做了最好的决定。 “而且他是一名不可思议的投手。我的意思是，这一点毫无疑问。我想我们[周二]会亲眼见证。我知道棒球界对此有所反应，但他们让自己处于能够达成该交易的地位，并且他们做到了，这正是他们应该做的。” Skubal 在上一次先发登场结束时就已经接受了自己即将离开的事实。 “输掉那场比赛的感觉就像是，那是最后的时刻了。”

天使队在交易截止日交易 Soriano 和 Adell
天使队
电讯报道
多伦多蓝鸟队通过从天使队获得右投手 José Soriano，旨在增强其 2027 年的轮换阵容，以此换回三名新秀。此次交易发生在周一的 MLB 交易截止日之前。27 岁的 Soriano 目前战绩为 9 胜 6 负，防御率 (ERA) 为 3.29，在四个大联盟赛季中的总防御率为 3.72。球队对他的控制期将持续到 2028 年。Soriano 在本赛季开局时是大联盟中最炙手可热的投手之一，在最初的 37 2 / 3 局中仅失一分，但在接下来的 16 场先发中防御率为 4.64。
内野手 Arjun Nimmala（2023 年首轮选秀球员）是前往天使队的小联盟球员之首，随行的还包括外野手 Eddie Micheletti Jr. 和右投手 Angel Rivero。
天使队还将其外野手 Jo Adell 交易至克利夫兰队，以换取小联盟捕手 Jacob Cozart。Adell 为守护者队提供了一个强力击球手以及一定的外野多功能性。这位 27 岁的球员本赛季有 16 支本垒打和 62 次打点，而一年前他曾创下职业生涯最佳的 37 支本垒打和 98 次打点。Adell 在 2017 年业余选秀中被选为总第 10 位，其整个职业生涯都在天使队度过。
在获得 Soriano 之前，蓝鸟队于周日晚上将资深投手 Kevin Gausman 交易至芝加哥小熊队，换回 3A 外野手 Brett Bateman 和 A 级内野手 Ty Southisene。随后，多伦多队将中外野手 Daulton Varsho 送至休斯顿队，以换取右先发投手 Spencer Arrighetti。Varsho 曾获得 2024 年金手套奖，将为太空人队的外野提供巨大助力。
红袜队加入全明星 Rutschman 波士顿红袜队从巴尔的摩金莺队获得了全明星捕手 Adley Rutschman，交易方案包括三名红袜队的顶尖新秀。这位 28 岁的球员——
TARIK SKUBAL 表示，离开老虎队让他感到很激动，但他已准备好与卫冕世界系列赛冠军道奇队“融合”。
“我在底特律度过了一段时光，”他说。“所以并不惊讶，但这并没有让这个消息变得容易接受，因为我非常热爱那里的人们。我对他们的工作方式和经营业务充满敬意。很多队友在场内场外都是我的好朋友。我祝愿他们一切顺利。除非我们在比赛中对阵，否则我会一直为他们加油。”
他将于周二正式开启新篇章，在 Wrigley Field 为道奇队登场投球。
“没有我的时候，他们已经是一支相当出色的棒球队了，”他说。“所以我会以一种‘变色龙’的方式出现，迅速融入这些家伙并与他们融合。他们拥有获胜的秘诀，知道赢球需要付出什么。”
JO ADELL 在 6 月签署签名照，他于周一被交易至守护者队，换回一名小联盟捕手。
Rutschman 本赛季打击率为 .251，有 8 支本垒打和 47 次打点。他第三次入选全明星阵容，但目前因左手腕炎症处于伤病名单中。他今年还经历了脚踝受伤和脑震荡。
巴尔的摩队还将捕手 Jake Rogers 送至红袜队。作为回报，金莺队获得了小联盟右投手 Anthony Eyanson 和 Kyson Witherspoon，小联盟外野手 Enddy Azocar，捕手 Carlos Narváez 以及一名稍后公布的球员。在 MLB Pipeline 的排名中，Eyanson、Witherspoon 和 Azocar 均位列波士顿队前五名新秀之列，其中 Eyanson 位列全棒球前 50 名。
Arraez 前往费城人队，Harper 回到右外野
费城人队从巨人队获得了三届打击冠军 Luis Arraez。费城人在追求 2008 年以来首个世界系列赛冠军的过程中，其阵容需要一个经过证明的击球手。
Arraez 的打击率为 .324，在国家联盟中排名第一，有 4 支本垒打和 47 次打点，OPS 为 .801。他曾四次入选全明星队；对于挥棒激进的费城人队阵容来说，他是一名极少被三振的接触型击球手。
费城人队还获得了一名右投手救援球员——
以及前皇家队 全明星左投手增强深度
作者：Maddie Lee
芝加哥—— 道奇队在周一通过一个熟悉的名字增加了捕手深度。在交易截止日期前几小时，球队宣布从大都会队交易得到了流浪捕手 Ben Rortvedt，而对方得到了右投手 Chayce McDermott。
这已经是道奇队在一年多时间内第三次获得 Rortvedt。他们去年在截止日期前也通过交易得到了他，并在二月份通过弃权认领将其留在队中数日。
在为牛棚比赛调整救援投手之际，道奇队在周五将 McDermott 指定为可交易名单。
球队认为，在捕手 Will Smith 继续从六月初起一直困扰且使其缺阵的颈部伤势中恢复期间，由候补捕手 Dalton Rushing 承担大部分捕手职责是没有问题的。但在这个体力消耗巨大的位置上，增加深度总是很有价值的。
圣迭戈交易得赛扬奖得主 Ray
圣迭戈教子从巨人队用两名新秀交易得到了资深左投手 Robbie Ray。
圣迭戈队在最近九场比赛中赢了八场，距离国联最后一席外卡季后赛位置仅差一场球。在起伏不定的赛季中，这次最新的强势反弹促使总经理 A.J. Preller 再次交易掉其严重枯竭的农场系统的一部分，以换取现在赢球的机会。
圣迭戈用右投手 Miguel Mendez 和 17 岁的游击手 Joniel Hernandez 交换了 34 岁的 Ray。Ray 曾获得赛扬奖，即将成为不受限制的自由球员。
圣迭戈队的轮换投手群 ERA, 排名大联盟第四高，急需一名资深先发投手，他们还获得了现金补偿，以支付 Ray $25-million 薪水的一部分。
海盗队通过 Weaver 增强牛棚
匹兹堡海盗队采取重大举措以改善其陷入困境的牛棚，从纽约大都会队交易得到了资深右投手 Luke Weaver。
匹兹堡队希望结束长达十年的季后赛 drought，他们将 21 岁的游击手新秀 Sammy Stafura 送至大都会队，以换取 32 岁的 Weaver。
Weaver 曾是排名垫底的大都会队中少数的亮点之一，在 42 场出战中取得 2-1，ERA 为 1.84，并有 1 次救援成功。
其他消息 芝加哥小熊队准备从大都会队交易得到投手 Clay Holmes 和外野手 Tyrone Taylor，而对方将获得备受关注的内野新秀 Jefferson Rojas。据美联社报道，两队已达成交易协议，目前等待医疗审查。……
西雅图水手队从金莺队交易得到了外野手 Taylor Ward，以交换小联盟右投 Alex Hoppe、Brock Moore 和 Harrison Kreiling。Ward 增加了西雅图的外野深度，这可能使即将成为自由球员的外野手 Randy Arozarena 变得可有可无。
……据美联社报道，坦帕湾光芒队通过与迈阿密马林鱼队的交易增加了捕手 Liam Hicks。马林鱼队得到了新秀 Jacob Kisting、Adrian Santana 和 Brayden Taylor……亚特兰大勇士队从天使队交易得到了资深救援投手 Brent Suter，以交换小联盟内野手 Nacho Alvarez Jr.
Caleb Kilian 在交易中被交换，以换取小联盟右投 Ramon Marquez 和 Marty Gair。
费城人队还达成了一项单独协议，用小联盟右投 Luke Gabrysh 和小联盟外野手 John Spikerman 交换大都会队的左投手 Brooks Raley。
Arraez 的到来意味着防守核心阵容的重大转变，费城人队代理经理 Don Mattingly 表示 Arraez 将在二垒 playing，这将触发防守调整，使 Bryce Harper 回到右外野。
Bryson Stott 将从二垒移至三垒，而三垒手 Alec Bohm 将移至一垒——Harper 自 2023 年右肘接受 Tommy John 手术回归以来一直在一垒担任。
这一观点在周日得到了凸显，当时道奇队将 Rushing 从出场名单中剔除，理由是他们所称的轻微手臂不适。周一，Rushing 因轻微肘部拉伤被列入伤员名单，而 Chuckie Robinson 加入了在芝加哥的球队；道奇队经理 Dave Roberts 表示，计划在周二激活 Rortvedt。
通过 Rortvedt，道奇队将一名熟悉其投手阵容且经验丰富的捕手重新带回组织内部。Rortvedt 本赛季在 3A 级的锡拉丘兹队度过，在那里的 OPS 为 .733。
随着交易截止日期的临近，道奇队还从皇家队交易得到了左投手 Kris Bubic。作为回报，道奇队送回了右投手 Carlos Duran。去年曾入选全明星赛的 Bubic 此前在皇家队处于 60 天伤员名单中。5 月中旬，左肘酸痛最初导致他缺阵，但随后肩部酸痛延缓了他的复出进程。
就在截止日期前，道奇队又从光芒队增加了一名捕手 Hunter Feduccia。道奇队在与光芒队的交易中还获得了右投手 Jacob Kmatz，以及外野手 Jack Suwinski 和国际奖金池资金。

在阵容强大的 道奇队 重新开始
作者：Maddie Lee
芝加哥 —— 就在几天前，道奇队的新投手 Tarik Skubal 还在对方阵营，效力于一支中型市场的老虎队。该球队原本希望将道奇队从联赛顶端拉下来，但令人失望的赛季让他们在交易截止日变成了卖家。 尽管如此，基于这种视角，他并不打算理会任何关于道奇队毁掉棒球的言论。 “我并不真正同情那些把任何事情都归咎于道奇队的人，” Skubal 在 Barrel Room 说道。
在计划曝光后， 因凡蒂诺 可能会被撤职
作者：Kevin Baxter
当 Gianni Infantino 被选为国际足联 (FIFA) 主席接替 Sepp Blatter 时，他被视为一名改革者，一个能为这个长期陷入丑闻和欺骗的足球国际管理机构带来透明度和开放性的人。 十年后，这位改革者的真面目被揭露，他因与特朗普总统家族成员达成秘密合伙协议，将世界杯 20% 的份额出售给私人投资者而被反噬。这笔交易如此大胆，以至于让国际足联过去的违规行为在对比之下显得微不足道。 在因凡蒂诺结束了历史上最成功的一次世界杯（该届赛事创造了 150 亿美元 billion 的收入记录）不到两周后，《伦敦时报》透露，因凡蒂诺已开始贿赂国际足联的 211 个成员协会，要求他们在 9 月 19 日之前接受他的计划，即将世界杯及其他国际足联赛事的商业和赛事权益份额出售给由 Joshua Kushner 领导的一家私募股权公司。Joshua Kushner 是 Jared Kushner 的兄弟，而后者是特朗普的女婿及一名资深的白宫顾问。 各协会被告知，只要签约，就能获得 $20 million。如果拒绝，国际足联将给予你们

就像大多数精彩的故事一样，这一个也需要周密的计划。洛杉矶体育与娱乐委员会（L.A. Sports and Entertainment Commission）的组织者花费了近九年的时间，准备将 FIFA 世界杯引入洛杉矶。这一全球最受欢迎的体育赛事，仅仅是一个超级赛事三部曲的开始，接下来的篇章将是 SoFi 体育场的超级碗 LXI (Super Bowl LXI)，并将在 2028 年以规模最大的奥运会迎来高潮。
“我们在国际舞台上将活跃三年，”洛杉矶体育与娱乐委员会（简称 LASEC）总裁兼首席执行官 Kathryn Schloessman 表示，“我们要讲述什么样的故事，以及如何讲述？”
世界杯是一个扣人心弦的第一章。根据 LASEC 的数据，这场为期 39 天的赛事为 SoFi 体育场的八场比赛带来了超过 560,000 名观众，10 个官方球迷区吸引了 250,000 名粉丝，预计在整个洛杉矶县产生 $892 million 的经济影响。
规模扩大的世界杯由 48 支球队参加，在三个国家的 16 个场馆中进行 104 场比赛，与 2028 年奥运会和残奥会相比，这仅仅是一场后勤方面的预选赛。
Wrigley Field。“他们建立了一个非常优秀的组织。他们选秀出色，引进人才得力，并且能留住人才。这是一个获胜的组织。现在出现的抱怨似乎是因为他们赢得了过去两次的世界系列赛。我认为三年前并不是这样的。所以我并不真正同情那些抱怨的人，因为道奇队做的一切都是正确的。”
Skubal 不想谈论他即将到来的自由球员身份。他还表示，他没有与老虎队棒球运营总裁 Scott Harris 就倾向于被交易至道奇队进行过任何对话。在交易之前，他告诉老虎队的记者，他希望留在唯一认识的球队中竞争冠军。
“最初的反应，情绪波动很大，”Skubal 周一说道。“我

爱尔兰人 重启 传奇宿敌之战
2030年重启，因南加州大学 坚持赛季早期的日期。
作者：Ryan Kartje
大学足球最神圣的宿敌之战之一终将延续。
经过数月的反复谈判，南加州大学（USC）与圣母大学（Notre Dame）周一宣布，双方已同意一项从 2030 年开始的为期四年的系列赛，届时圣母大学将在纪念体育场（Coliseum）对阵南加州大学，开启赛季。
次年，两队将在第 1 周于圣母大学体育场进行比赛，随后的两场比赛将在 2032 和 2033 赛季的第 1-3 周之间在某地举行。
南加州大学最终得到了其在一年多前双方首次就重启宿敌系列赛进行商谈时向圣母大学提出的要求。南加州大学的领导层试图将比赛移至赛季开始阶段，最初提议在 2027 赛季的第 0 周进行。但圣母大学拒绝了多次赛程方案。
这种情况在最近几周发生了变化，因为圣母大学选择取消 2030 和 2031 年与印第安纳大学的主客场系列赛，以照顾其长期的宿敌。
“我们觉得对我们的项目最有利的是在赛季早期地进行这场比赛，”南加州大学教练林肯·赖利（Lincoln Riley）说道。“正如我公开说过的那样，我们是一个会议的一部分。我们需要在会议赛程面前给出交代。我们不能自行制定赛程，也不能选择自己的开球时间。因此，我们的灵活性要低得多，所以将这场比赛安排在传统的非会议窗口期对我们来说更有意义。”
南加州大学坚持在赛季早期的要求。即便赖利因为在运行……

David Banks 美联社 Wrobleski再次失准，道奇队陷入低迷
JUSTIN WROBLESKI 在连续第二场先发中失掉四支本垒打，最终以 10-5 负于小联盟立方球队（Cubs），使道奇队的连败纪录延长至四场。
作者：Maddie Lee
芝加哥 —— 道奇队在交易截止日获得了重大胜利 —— 两次赛扬奖得主 Tarik Skubal，必要的接手深度（Ben Rortvedt 和 Hunter Feduccia），以及 2025 年全明星投手 Kris Bubic。
所有这些势头以及阵容中惊人的天赋，掩盖了道奇队近期糟糕的发挥。在瑞格利球场（Wrigley Field）对阵芝加哥小联盟立方球队的一场干净利落的比赛，本是他们在主场被波士顿红袜队横扫后设定新基调的机会。然而，
在交易 Ray 和 Mize 时大举进攻
作者：Greg Beacham
圣迭戈教徒队（San Diego Padres）在交易截止日前的势头足以说服总经理 A.J. Preller 为冲刺季后赛再次进行几次巨大的豪赌。
教徒队周一从旧金山巨人队获得左投手 Robbie Ray，从底特律老虎队获得右投手 Casey Mize，在截止日交易中放弃了三名评分最高的新秀，以换取两名经过验证的先发投手。
“我们尝试赢球，”Preller 说道。“我们对此并不道歉。我们尝试赢得冠军。我们尝试进入季后赛，并且年复一年地做到这一点。”
圣迭戈将右投手 Miguel Mendez 和 17 岁的游击手 Joniel Hernandez送往旧金山，后者将支付 Ray $25-million 薪水的一部分。
教徒队还从底特律获得了内野手 Gage Workman，同时放弃了左投手 Kash Mayfield 和 Jackson Wolf。
Ray 和 Mize 可能会在今年冬天成为自由球员，因此他们可能最终只是圣迭戈赛季末的临时租借球员。但在经历了 15-28 的低迷并以 .500 的胜率进入全明星赛休息期后，教徒队 (58-54) 在九场比赛中赢了八场，将分差缩小到仅落后一名。
他们以 10-5 输掉了三场系列赛的揭幕战，连败纪录延长至本赛季最高平手记录的四场。 “这是一支有竞争力争夺季后赛的球队，”经理戴夫·罗伯茨在赛前评价小熊队时说道。“我们必须打好。就像我在[周日]说的那样，我们被对方打败了，在竞争中落了下风。所以我们需要打得更好。在这次系列赛中，我们会打得更好。我不知道结果如何，但我们会以更紧迫的态度去比赛。” 道奇队 (69-44) 在比赛开始时基本上验证了这一预言。面对左投手马修·博伊德，大谷翔平和安迪·佩吉斯连续击出单打，而汤米·埃德曼则击出了一支向左外野飞行的三分本垒球。 随后博伊德稳住了局面。他通过连续三个飞球出局结束了该局——当凯尔·塔克向右外场击出飞球出局时，小熊队的球迷热情地对他发出嘘声。塔克在芝加哥效力一季后成为自由球员，当时人们就没预期他会与球队续约。 道奇队的左手全明星贾斯汀·弗罗布莱斯基表现挣扎。在连续第二次先发中，他再次被击出四支本垒球。 前三支本垒球均在有跑者在垒的情况下出现，加速了损失。而且这些球来自小熊队阵容的各个位置。在第一局，2 号击球手铃木正洋击出一记快速球进入看台，带来两分。 下一局，是 9 号击球手凯文·阿尔坎塔拉用一支两分炮让小熊队 (64-49) 取得领先。 在第三局，第四棒卡森·凯利抓住一个滑球击出两分炮。 弗罗布莱斯基终于在第四局投出了无安打局，在面对首名击球手保送后顶住压力，暂时遏制了小熊队的进攻势头。随后在第五局，他投了一记正中线速球给左手击球手迈克尔·布什，被其击出单分本垒球。 布什曾效力于道奇队，巧合的是，他是斯库巴尔交易树的一部分。小熊队用投手新秀杰克逊·费里斯换来了他以及救援投手延西·阿尔蒙特和
圣地亚哥教子队（Padres）于周一从巨人队交易获得了周四登场的罗比·雷。圣地亚哥总经理 A.J. Preller 表示：“我们正努力赢得冠军，我们对此不感到抱歉。”
尽管投手轮换拼凑且 ERA 高达 4.66，但仍能争夺国联最后的野卡季后赛名额。 这促使他们极其激进的总经理再次进入“买家”模式，再次送走一大批本已严重匮乏的农场系统资源，以填补对高质量先发投手的明显需求。 “我们绝对很高兴能让他们加入，”内野手赞德·博加茨在亚利桑那州的教子队休息室里，在开启对阵响尾蛇队的关键四场系列赛前说道。“增加两名这种水准的球员绝对能鼓舞休息室里的每一个人。” 雷和迈兹应该立即进入教子队的轮换，而教子队在未来一个月内还可能迎来伤愈回归的先发投手尼克·皮维塔、乔·马斯格罗夫和卢卡斯·吉奥利托。 雷本赛季在旧金山效力的第三年，取得了 10-6 的战绩，ERA 为 3.08，在 122 2 局中完成了 107 次三振。在过去的两个月里，他的表现极其出色，自 5 月以来 ERA 为 1.65，且在过去 11 次先发中，有 9 次失分为 1 分或更低。 在过去 10 天里，雷是唯一击败教子队的先发投手，他在上周四巨人队 4-1 获胜的比赛中，在佩特科公园球场投了 6 局且仅被击 4 安。雷在 2021 年代表多伦多赢得了美联赛赛扬奖，并在 2023 年初效力于旧金山期间接受了汤米·约翰手术。 但现在他已回归，成为巨人队一名可靠的先发投手，而巨人队在另一个令人失望的赛季末期正在重新调整。 “我们对几周前在选秀中所做的变动感到满意，现在我们觉得我们拥有一些位置球员和投手，希望他们在旧金山能有光明的前景，但这仍有待观察，”巨人队棒球运营总裁巴斯特·波齐表示。 波齐希望巨人队的球迷知道，球队并不满足于近年来的结果。自 2016 年以来，旧金山仅进入过一次季后赛。 “我想你可以将其描述为”
“无论你们怎么想，我不会简单地将其称为‘重建’，”波西（Posey）说道。“显然，我们今天将六名大联盟球员移出了名单。我想传递的信息是，我们对今年以及过去几年的表现并不满意，我们正在尽一切努力，继续打造一个能让我们所有人都兴奋地观看的产品。”
迈兹（Mize）在 2018 年被底特律队选为状元秀。尽管在应对腹股沟伤势，但他本赛季为老虎队先发 16 场，战绩为 4 胜 6 负，防御率为 2.70，WHIP 为 0.99。在经历汤米·约翰手术后，他在上赛季成为了全明星球员，并在去年秋天出任了两场季后赛的先发。
外野潜力新星齐希尔·霍普（Zyhir Hope）。 霍普是斯库巴尔（Skubal）交易方案的一部分。
罗伯茨在布什（Busch）击出本垒球后撤下了罗布莱斯基（Wrobleski）。他此次失掉的 7 分自责分创下了赛季最高纪录。但这一次，他仅投了 4 1⁄3 局，而 5 月 10 日对阵亚特兰大勇士队时，他投了 8 2⁄3 局。
道奇队在第四局通过一次得分攻势予以回应，特奥斯卡·埃尔南德斯（Teoscar Hernández）在第六局击出了一支飞向 Waveland 大道的个人本垒打。
然而，小熊队在第六局面对埃德加多·恩里克斯（Edgardo Henriquez）和坦纳·斯科特（Tanner Scott）时拿下三分，粉碎了对方反超比分的希望。

教士队近期的成功得益于进攻端的觉醒——他们在上半季的沉睡后苏醒，弥补了因伤病而薄弱的先发轮候名单。圣迭戈唯一常规的先发投手是迈克尔·金（Michael King）和沃克·比勒（Walker Buehler），这迫使球队在每个轮候周期中安排三场牛棚赛，由格里芬·坎宁（Griffin Canning）、兰迪·巴斯克斯（Randy Vásquez）和赫尔曼·马尔克斯（Germán Márquez）撑起局面。

《爱乐之城》 在希腊剧场的梦想
致所有追梦人。 《爱乐之城》（La La Land）——这部由瑞恩·高斯林和艾玛·斯通（Emma Stone）主演、庆祝上映 10 周年的音乐电影——其核心主题在 5 月变成了一个音乐现实时刻：当时在悉尼的一场电影现场音乐会中场休息期间，一名 21 岁的学生从人群中被选中。斯特林·纳萨（Sterling Nasa）随后的即兴表演无懈可击，令作曲家兼指挥贾斯汀·赫维茨以及 2,000 名观众感到震惊。 “跳进悉尼的那场音乐会，戴上耳机，看着这一切，感觉有点疯狂，”纳萨以谦逊的态度说道，“但我们不知怎么地挺过去了。” 纳萨此刻正坐在希腊剧场的后台排练间隙，准备在洛杉矶完成他的首秀。在那个引起国际关注的暖心新闻事件之后，赫维茨邀请纳萨飞过来，在周六于格里菲斯公园（Griffith Park）的周年放映会上演奏整场音乐会，而这里正是该片许多标志性场景的拍摄地。

墨西哥及墨西哥裔美国人的电影史将在学院博物馆即将举办的一场展览中成为焦点。
“电影之邦：庆祝墨西哥裔美国电影”（Cinelandia: Celebrating Mexican American Cinema）预计将于 2027 年 9 月开幕，且可能与西班牙裔传统月（Hispanic Heritage Month）的开始时间相 coincides——该展将涵盖从默片时代至今的历程，并探讨来自边境两岸的电影。
学院博物馆助理策展人 Sophia Serrano 表示，该展览的构思最早可追溯到 2019 年，并于 2022 年底正式启动。
“它是源于我们在 2021 年学院博物馆开馆前，作为盖蒂基金会（Getty Foundation）‘太平洋标准时间：洛杉矶 x 拉美’（Pacific Standard Time: Los Angeles x Latin America）计划的一部分所开展的一项研究和规划项目，”Serrano 说道。
展览将主要聚焦于墨西哥裔美国电影，但也将探讨这些电影与墨西哥故事片之间的对话。
Jay Maidment Sony Pictures 《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》片尾彩蛋 如何铺垫后续剧情
蜘蛛侠（Tom Holland 饰）和 MJ（Zendaya 饰）在新热门电影中从一个麻烦跳到另一个麻烦。
但其含义见仁见智。以下是它可能代表的意义。
作者：Tracy Brown
本文包含《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》（“Spider-Man: Brand New Day”）的剧透。
距离蜘蛛侠上一次的大银幕冒险已近五年，但你们友好的邻居网络射手终于回来了。由德斯汀·丹尼尔·克雷顿执导，现正上映的《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》讲述了彼得·帕克（汤姆·赫兰德 饰）的故事，他现在的生活除了在暗中打击犯罪和远距离关注挚爱之人（赞达亚、雅各布·巴塔隆 饰）之外，几乎没有什么社交生活。
电影最大的反转涉及由萨迪·辛克饰演的反派身份——关于她的未来，以及她的出现对某个备受粉丝喜爱的变种超级英雄团队意味着什么，仍有许多疑问。
尽管自 2021 年《蜘蛛侠：英雄无路》上映以来，漫威电影宇宙（MCU）发生了很大变化，但有一个传统依然保留着：解析每一部作品片尾彩蛋的含义。
《崭新之日》在片尾字幕中仅包含一个简短的片段，用以预告蜘蛛侠的下一步动向。
以下是该片段如何与即将上映的 MCU 作品《复仇者联盟：末日》（“Avengers: Doomsday”）和《秘密战争》（“Secret Wars”）产生联系。
在《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》的片尾彩蛋中发生了什么？ 在《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》完整演职员表滚动结束后显示的额外片段，与其说是正式的场景，不如说是一次预告。
这段简短的彩蛋涉及由内德创建的蜘蛛侠追踪应用程序，该程序允许用户记录任何目击到网络射手的踪迹。
片尾彩蛋中显示的蜘蛛侠追踪器地图屏幕起初显示这位友好邻居英雄在此时的地点为“未知”。随后，地图从纽约市缩放，远离地球，接着蜘蛛侠的图标显示他在外太空某处被目击。
这是否意味着蜘蛛侠将在《末日》中回归？ 有可能！ 《复仇者联盟：末日》庞大的演员名单包括了前后的复仇者成员、神奇四侠、X 战警以及许多其他人，但有一个显著的缺失……

詹妮弗·洛佩兹主演的《塞琳娜》（“Selena”）将于 2027 年 9 月成为学院博物馆“电影之国”（“Cinelandia”）展览的一部分。
……以及其他在好莱坞和国际上制作的西班牙语电影。
参展电影将包括像《生命之书》（“The Book of Life”）和迪士尼的《寻梦》（“Coco”）这类亡灵节题材影片，以及 1931 年恐怖经典片《德古拉》（“Dracula”）的西班牙语版本，以及导演路易斯·巴尔德斯的《拉班巴》（“La Bamba”）和《祖特服》（“Zoot Suit”）。格雷戈里·纳瓦的三部开创性作品也将获得荣誉：获得奥斯卡提名的《北方》（“El Norte”）、《我的家庭》（“My Family / Mi Familia”）以及由詹妮弗·洛佩兹主演的传记片《塞琳娜》。
参展的墨西哥经典电影中包括 1932 年的电影《圣塔》（“Santa”），这是第一部墨西哥叙事有声电影，以及 1946 年的《迷恋》（“Enamorada”）。
来自墨西哥电影界获得奥斯卡奖的“三剑客”——吉列尔莫·德尔·托罗、阿尔方索·库隆和亚历杭德罗·冈萨雷斯·伊纳里图的作品也将被重点展示。
除了策展人塞拉诺外，“电影之国”还由一个 12 人的顾问小组指导：漫画家拉洛·阿尔卡拉斯、加州大学圣克鲁兹分校名誉教授罗莎-琳达·弗雷戈索、LACMA 策展人兼当代艺术主管丽塔·冈萨雷斯、动画导演豪尔赫·R·古铁雷斯、编剧兼导演克里斯蒂娜·伊巴拉、皮策学院教授杰西·勒纳、导演兼编剧卡洛斯·洛佩兹-埃斯特拉达、亚利桑那大学助理教授奥尔基德亚·莫拉莱斯、导演格雷戈里·纳瓦、加州大学洛杉矶分校教授琼·诺里加、德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校教授查尔斯·拉米雷斯-伯格以及南加州大学教授劳拉·伊莎贝尔·塞尔纳。
考虑到洛杉矶县的人口几乎有 50%
一直以来都是汤姆·霍兰德饰演蜘蛛侠。
有可能的是，神秘的漫威一直保持沉默，仅仅是为了让他的出现成为一个惊喜；蜘蛛侠不仅会出现，还可能与其他一些拥有宇宙飞船的英雄（如神奇四侠）一起前往太空某地探险。
不过，漫威不太可能将蜘蛛侠参与《末日》（Doomsday）的消息保密这么久，结果却在片尾的一个简短彩蛋中平淡地透露出来。
蜘蛛侠会出现在《秘密战争》中吗？
很可能。 关于《末日》的续作《复仇者联盟：秘密战争》（Avengers: Secret Wars）知之甚少，据报道该片计划“很快”开始拍摄。在《崭新之日》（Brand New Day）的宣传巡演期间，霍兰德一直坚称他对即将上映的电影一无所知。但《秘密战争》这个名字源于几部漫威漫画的故事线，涉及多位英雄之间的相互较量。虽然 MCU 的作品通常不是直接改编，但蜘蛛侠参与了这两次漫画的交叉事件。
2015年的《秘密战争》故事涉及毁灭博士的阴谋，并见证了多元宇宙的碰撞、毁灭与融合。在这次交叉事件中，主时间线的蜘蛛侠与另一个维度的蜘蛛侠——迈尔斯·莫拉莱斯（Miles Morales）联手，后者在事件之后最终移居到了漫威主宇宙。
蜘蛛侠还在 20 世纪 80 年代首次举办的《秘密战争》交叉事件中扮演了角色。在这个故事中，多位英雄被一个神秘的强大生物从他们平时出没的地方强行带走，并与同样被召集起来的反派（包括毁灭博士）对决。正是在这次交叉事件中，蜘蛛侠首次穿上了那件后来被称为“毒液”的有意识的黑色战衣。
两部《秘密战争》系列都让角色们被置于一个名为“战斗世界”（Battleworld）的拼凑星球上。《崭新之日》片尾彩蛋中关于“蜘蛛侠追踪器”的信息可能在暗示，这正是蜘蛛侠最终将抵达的地方。
我们能确定什么？
《崭新之日》以“蜘蛛侠将会回归”的消息结束。粉丝们只能等待，看看何时、何地以及哪个蜘蛛侠将会参与其中。《复仇者联盟：末日》定于 12 月 18 日上映，而《秘密战争》计划于 2027 年 12 月 17 日发行。
路·戴蒙德·菲利普斯（LOU DIAMOND Phillips）在导演路易斯·瓦尔德兹（Luis Valdez）广受好评的传记片《兰巴》（La Bamba）中饰演里奇·瓦伦斯（Ritchie Valens），该片是即将展出的展览中将重点展示的影片之一。
塞拉诺（Serrano）指出，这次展览的目的之一是与该县数百万拉丁裔人士建立联系，并展示他们如何关键地影响了洛杉矶的文化景观。
“墨西哥裔美国人的电影是……洛杉矶历史的重要组成部分，”塞拉诺说。“我们希望这次展览能与更广泛的洛杉矶社区产生联系，并阐明许多深受喜爱的墨西哥裔美国人和墨西哥电影制作人的电影背后的历史。展览旨在为每个人提供价值，将所有年龄层和背景的人聚集在一起，共同庆祝这一重要的文化遗产。”
与之前聚焦少数群体的展览一样，学院博物馆不会回避关于好莱坞拉丁裔人士的不快事实——从该群体在电影中的刻板印象塑造，到其……
行业中一直持续至今的代表性不足。
“此次展览中展出的许多电影和艺术家通过各种方式，将人们的注意力引导至这些挑战，或试图突破这些挑战，”塞拉诺（Serrano）说道。“展览的一个指导原则是，通过采访、书面引用以及客座策展和合作，在展出数百件原始物品的同时，突出电影艺术家本身的声音，旨在讲述一个关于这段历史的真诚且引人入胜的故事。”
“我们还旨在展示墨西哥裔美国艺术家的贡献是多么巨大，而这些历史往往不为人知或未获得充分认可。因此，展览必须以一种动态且具教育意义的方式，来庆祝这些产生影响和作用的时刻。”

计划淡出 公众视野
将在其夏季巡回演唱会 结束后进入休息期。
作者：Alexandra Del Rosario
在花费数年时间宣传她的两部《魔法坏女巫》（Wicked）电影、发行新音乐、启动最新巡演，并面对对其外貌日益增加的审视之后，Ariana Grande 终于准备淡出公众视野。
这位曾获格莱美奖并获得奥斯卡奖项提名的明星的一名代表在周日向多家媒体发布的一份声明中，宣布了 Grande 即将“退出公众视线”。该代表表示，Grande 将在 9 月 1 日 Eternal Sunshine 巡演落幕后退隐。声明称：“她期待以健康且快乐的方式完成此次巡演，并为之画上圆满的句号。”
随后，Grande 将进行一次“非常值得的休息，远离面向公众的工作和露面，因为这些导致了无休止且持续的公众审视。”该声明并未深入探讨围绕 33 岁的 Grande 的任何争议，但这位歌手的粉丝和批评者在网上持续对其外貌以及自 2024 年在《魔法坏女巫：第一部分》中首次饰演格林达（Glinda）以来明显的体重减轻表示担忧。在 2025 年《魔法坏女巫：第二部分》的宣传期和推广活动中，针对 Grande 及其合作演员 Cynthia Erivo 和杨紫琼（Michelle Yeoh）身体状况的审视进一步加剧。

2022 年，该博物馆推出了名为“重生：黑人电影 1898-1971”（Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971）的展览，重点展示了从电影早期到民权运动时期的黑人群体创作者的作品。该展览于 2023 年 4 月闭幕，探讨了诸如早期电影中黑人的呈现（1897-1915）、由黑人电影制作人为黑人观众创作的“种族电影”时代（1910年代-1940年代）、音乐电影以及民权运动中诞生的故事等主题。
该博物馆目前正在展出的名为“好莱坞之地：犹太创始人与电影之都的打造”（Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital）的展览，探讨了那些帮助巩固洛杉矶地区作为世界娱乐之都地位的犹太电影制作人和制片厂创始人的故事。
今年夏天早些时候，在 Oakland 启动 Eternal Sunshine 巡演期间，以及最近在周末发布“Petal”音乐视频之后，Grande 再次面临新一轮的身体批评和担忧。此外，小报和其他媒体一直密切关注她的情感关系，包括在传出与《魔法坏女巫》合作演员 Ethan Slater分手后，她与前男友 Ricky Alvarez 的复合。
“这次巡演对她来说是一次美好的体验，”其代表在声明中说，“她热爱她的粉丝，非常热爱这次巡演的每一分钟。”
向《People》杂志（该杂志率先报道了 Grande 计划淡出的消息）透露消息的一个来源称，这位歌手的“演出体力消耗极大，涉及很多运动能力”。该来源补充说，这位歌手“每晚都以非常高水平的状态健康且成功地完成了演出”。
虽然 Grande 寻求以一场在伦敦售罄的演出为 Eternal Sunshine 巡演收尾，但她已经取消了即将参加的 Stephen Sondheim 剧作《与乔治共度公园之日》（Sunday in the Park With George）的西区复排演出，该剧原定于她与在《魔法坏女巫》中的恋人 Jonathan Bailey 共同出演。该剧原定于明年夏天在伦敦巴比肯艺术中心（Barbican Centre）开演。
该剧的制片人在社交媒体上确认了 Grande 的退出，并写道：“我们知道这绝不是一个容易的决定，她在得到我们完全理解和支持的情况下做出了这个决定。”
在探讨一名女性在被诊断出癌症末期后，致力于过上最极致性生活的过程中，[该作]在笑声与悲伤之间展开了一场轻盈的舞蹈。然而，《Furious》可能是她迄今为止最黑暗的项目。这部 Hulu 犯罪剧大致灵感源自 1987 年的新黑色电影《Black Widow》，在该片中，Theresa Russell 饰演一名通过嫁给富豪并将其毒杀以侵吞遗产的连环杀手，Debra Winger 则饰演一名执着于追踪她的调查员。而这部剧深化了这种猫鼠博弈的动态。它讲述了一名 FBI 新手在寻找一名女性连环杀手的过程，后者正试图向青少年时期虐待她的男性复仇。尽管如此，剧中依然能找到轻松的时刻。前四集目前正在播出，新剧集将于每周一更新，直到 8 月 31 日的大结局。
“我一直很喜欢在写作中尝试不同的东西，”Meriwether 在最近的一次视频通话中告诉我，“当这个机会出现时，我想，‘噢，哇，一部犯罪惊悚剧，一部关于连环杀手的剧’。这与我之前做过的完全不同。这正是我所热爱的那类剧集，所以我很兴奋地尝试去写一部，虽然多少有些天真。有趣的是，以前每当正剧编剧认为自己能写喜剧时，我总是会有点翻白眼，结果现在我发现自己处于相反的境地，心里想，‘噢，这太难了’。”
《Furious》感觉像是一部为“爱泼斯坦时代”量身定制的犯罪故事。这部八集的心理惊悚剧由 Emmy Rossum 饰演 Alice Black，一名陷入困扰的 FBI 新手，她为了逃避与一名警察同事之间暴力且充满创伤的关系，辞去了纽约市警察局（NYPD）侦探的职务。她被招募来协助追踪一名女性连环杀手（由 Lola Petticrew 饰演），后者的目标是那些剥削她并将其贩卖进行性交易的富豪。但该剧并不那么关注其从新闻头条中截取的现实关联性。在我们的采访中，Meriwether 讨论了她希望在这部最新犯罪剧集作品中解剖的内容，以及 Jake Lacy 饰演的“红旗”角色所带来的影响——以及已经演变成一场独立喜剧的《New Girl》重启版讨论。
这部剧大致基于电影《Black Widow》。但当前的事件，特别是围绕杰弗里·爱泼斯坦及其圈内权势人物的故事，在多大程度上影响了你想在这里探讨的内容或方式？
这确实是以《Black Widow》的改编开始的。这部剧中的女性连环杀手和女性 FBI 探员在——
HBO 限定剧《DTF St. Louis》的演员们（参与了支持类奖项的角逐）也在受艾美奖节目删减影响的人员之列。从左起分别是 Linda Cardellini, Jason Bateman 和 David Harbour。
[Whipp, 见 E1]
电视艺术科学学院从节目中删减了超过一半的类别。各位，这可能仅仅是因为今年整体低迷！过去 12 个月里，电视作品整体表现都相当平平。为什么非要针对某一个部门？
通过这样做，电视艺术科学学院实际上剥夺了 HBO 的[权利]。
这场猫鼠游戏有一个非常古怪的第三幕，两人最终在海滩上一起闲逛，成为了朋友。我很喜欢那部分。在这部关于女性杀手与女性 FBI 探员的极其令人兴奋的犯罪电影中，讲述了两个在生活中没有其他真正可依托之人的女性建立联系的故事。我深入研究后很快意识到，如果这个连环杀手仅仅像电影里那样是一个“黑寡妇”，那么它无法为八集剧集提供足够的故事情节。我对现实生活中的女性连环杀手做了大量研究，这类人非常罕见。女性连环杀手几乎在生命的不同阶段都曾是恐怖暴力的受害者。这真正激发了我的思考：好吧，如果你曾是暴力的受害者，而现在开始成为暴力的加害者，这意味着什么？有哪些事情是我们能够原谅和理解的，而又有哪些是我们无法接受的？
是的，当我观察更广阔的世界、时事以及我的想法和感受时，我确实吸收了很多外界已有的故事。但这并不是关于某个特定掠食者的故事。
现在有很多素材可以从中选择。它应该让人感到具有相关性，应该能呼应外界正在发生的事情。但我希望焦点集中在这些角色身上，而不是实施这些暴行的人身上。
爱丽丝（Alice）和凯瑟琳（Catherine）之间的平行之处——她们各自幸存的经历以及处理这些经历的不同方式——变得清晰起来。通过这两个女性，您希望探讨关于虐待所带来的创伤性且持久影响的哪些方面？
起初，我们在为凯瑟琳选角时，涉及到了年龄问题，因为我所有的编剧直觉都告诉我：“哦，我们需要让凯瑟琳非常年轻，更接近她真正成为这个掠食者受害者的那个时间点。”但当我开始思考时，我觉得，我认为我们还没有看到太多关于这种暴力长期影响的故事。剧中没有闪回。我没兴趣展示她们（凯瑟琳和爱丽丝）两人各自遭受了什么。我真正感兴趣的是后遗症。
我与一名社会工作者、一名心理学家和一名人口贩卖受害者进行了交流，那是我的谈话经历中最艰难的一次，但也是一次非常美好的谈话。她的名字叫杰·本克（Jay Benke），她经营着一个帮助人口贩卖受害者的组织。她提出了一个令我印象深刻的非常有趣的观点，那就是当这些 FBI 探员和执法官员建立……
“DTF 圣路易斯（St. Louis）”是本季最佳限定剧，却被从颁奖典礼中剔除。史蒂文·康拉德（Steven Conrad）这部关于郊区孤独的黑色喜剧获得了 13 项提名，包括为其出色的群演成员——杰森·贝特曼（Jason Bateman）、大卫·哈伯（David Harbour）、琳达·卡德里尼（Linda Cardellini）、理查德·詹金斯（Richard Jenkins）和乔伊（Joy）每人都提供的配角演员提名。
Hulu 上的八集剧集《愤怒》（Furious）由艾美·罗瑟姆（Emmy Rossum，右图）主演，她饰演前凶杀案侦探爱丽丝·布莱克（Alice Black），试图逃离一段创伤性的关系。
在这些案件中，他们关注的是将人口贩子关进监狱；他们并不关注被贩卖的人为了治愈生活需要什么。此外，一名律师向我推荐了一个非常棒的网站，叫 thelifestory.org，里面是不同被贩卖者的视频，讲述他们的故事——从童年开始，一直到被贩卖，然后走出来——故事是以圆环的形式呈现的。对我来说，这两个资源都非常不可思议。在 Alice 方面，我们倾向于认为[家庭暴力]受害者的经历比很多人的实际情况要简单得多。受害者与暴力和爱之间的关系非常复杂，暴力与亲密感在他们的大脑中可能会产生关联。这是我在为《为性而死》(Dying for Sex) 做研究时开始了解的，并在《愤怒》(Furious) 中继续深入。
我们看到了这些非常少女化的东西，贴纸和宝石，Catherine 紧紧抓着它们。这提醒我们她处于情感或心理的停滞状态。 我不知道 Lola 会怎么说，但我对 Catherine 这个角色的看法是，她有些被困住了。选择走上复仇之路看似是一个非常主动的选择，但在某些方面，它实际上是非常有限的。它让你的一生都围绕着发生在自己身上的事情而转。我觉得 Catherine 的故事是为了稍微地从那个陷阱中挣脱出来，几乎是在尝试让这个角色在某些方面有机会成长。在进入这个角色时，这对我来说绝对是一次挑战，因为我想，我该如何给一个连环杀手设计一段情感弧线？Catherine 被困住了，需要将她的记忆和生活的碎片拼凑在一起才能向前
周日。Conrad 获得了 3 项提名——该剧的编剧、导演和制片。 但现在只有 Harbour、Bateman 和 Conrad 将作为被提名剧集的执行制片人收到演出的门票。其他演员可以参加在主时段艾美奖前一个周末举行的创意艺术艾美奖。
LOLA PETTICREW 饰演剧中的杀手 Catherine，她寻求向虐待过她的男性复仇。
进一步迈进。 我在第 3 集中喜欢的是 Catherine 放在床上的那个包。那是我在塑造 Catherine 角色上的一个重大突破，因为她的历史是她必须拼凑并紧紧抓住的东西，而她的记忆中存在巨大的空白，所以她抓住这些物质对象，仅仅是为了感觉到自己是一个人。然后，在观察 Alice 的角色时，我们觉得她在很多方面正相反。她逃离了与 Marshall 的生活，并没有带走太多东西。她的整个生活就是她的工作；她的公寓非常空旷。
我不想在对待这个主题时显得轻率，但你提到了由 Jake Lacy 饰演的 Marshall。为什么 Jake 垄断了
Tina Rowden HBO
电视转播礼的门票。当然，如果其他演员也想参加电视转播的典礼，HBO 会很乐意为他们购买门票。 问题是：他们以及其他被提名者——包括 Nick Offerman（《死于闪电》(Death by Lightning)）、Charles Melton（《Beef》）和 Dakota Fanning（《全是她的错》(All Her Fault)）之类的人——是否愿意

饰演那些看起来像好人但实际上有毒的家伙？ 我还没看过《全是她的错》——这是我非常需要看的一部作品。他在本剧（《愤怒》）中的表现非凡，在他签约之前，我和他进行了长时间的交谈。这是一个非常难以把握的角色。在整个过程中，对我来说非常重要的一点是，没有任何一个角色可以轻易地被归类为坏人或好人——希望我们能让观众不断质疑他们对人们的感受和判断。有一部非常精彩的纪录片叫《一个更好的人》(A Better Man)，但很难找到。我不得不支付约 $50 租借它。片中讲述了一对高中时代就约会的情侣，当时他对她有虐待行为。她摆脱了那个局面，两人在 30 多岁时再次相遇
连续两个周末都要盛装出席？（我知道，这是典型的“富贵病” / 第一世界问题。）
“这在很多人的感知中，就像是一次撤回邀请，”一位奖项顾问说道。与本报道的其他消息来源一样，该顾问请求匿名，以便坦率地讨论这一举动。“如果电视艺术科学学院在提名公布前就这么做，那么人们的预期至少能得到管理。但现在的情况就像是你已经收到了派对邀请，结果现在却被告知不能来了。这种感觉并不太舒服。”
为什么电视艺术科学学院要等到提名公布后才调整类别？为什么只针对限定剧，而没有，比如说，将削减幅度分摊到剧情类和喜剧类奖项中？这些变动是永久性的吗？
我向电视艺术科学学院询问了这些问题，而他们的回答基本上是：我们已尽快公布。关于第二个问题我们避而不谈。至于以后，走一步看一步！
归根结底，这体现了一种愿望，即打造一个如电视艺术科学学院发言人口中所言，“在提供三小时广播的同时，由创新需求驱动，并兼顾观众预期和典礼的创意结构”的节目。
翻译成人话就是：奖项更少，演讲更少，增加更多有潜力在网络上疯传并引发讨论的怀旧环节。
奥斯卡在 2022 年尝试过这样做，将 8 个类别的颁奖移出电视直播，在广播……
再次讨论所发生的事情。这是一部令人难以置信的纪录片。我让杰克看了，因为我真的很希望他能把马歇尔当成一个真实的人去思考。他确实为此做出了贡献，你可以从他的表演中看出这一点。[杰克] 是个非常友善的人。
你知道我不能在结束前不提到这部《新女孩》(New Girl) 的重启版——或者至少是关于它的讨论。到目前为止，这已经成了一个梗——拉莫恩·莫里斯和杰克·约翰逊在互相指责。你在 Instagram 上发布了一段视频，承认发送了一些导致紧张关系的露骨信息。
在某种程度上，我觉得这些视频、采访之类的东西也许比重启版更好。如果我们能把这看作是重启，也许对每个人都有好处。[那段视频] 是因为我在《速度》([“Furious”]) 的宣传活动期间被记者问到这个问题。当时已经是宣传活动的第 8 个小时了，我的大脑完全空白了，我开始像意识流一样说话——就像我已经没有更多故事可讲了一样。那天晚上我回家后给演员们发了信息，我说：“我把那个问题搞砸了。”在我们的话题群里一直有个笑话，就是他们如何不停地互相指责，但很多时候他们指责我，说是我在拖延重启版。我觉得这很烦人，但后来我以一种糟糕的方式回答了这个提问，然后我想，“噢，我成了那个得为此负责的人。”
如果真的重启，考虑到近期项目的基调，这将会是一个非常阴暗的《新女孩》重启版。 [笑] 我甚至不知道粉丝们是否想要我现在能拍出来的东西。
最后一个问题：最近你看了什么值得向所有人推荐的吗？ 我喜欢《任务大师》(Taskmaster) [YouTube, Pluto TV]。每当我需要快乐时，它总能给我带来快乐，所以我总是向每个人推荐——但前提是你得喜欢英式幽默。如果你热爱快乐和英式幽默，我强烈推荐《任务大师》。库梅尔·南贾尼 [Kumail Nanjiani] 上一季参加了，真的非常有趣。 我进度落后很多。《寡妇湾》(Widow’s Bay) [Apple TV] 是我清单上的第一名。我得看看。我非常喜欢凯蒂 [Katie Dippold，该剧创作者]。

演员阵容开始。会员们讨厌这个想法，次年秩序得以恢复，所有 23 项奖项均在现场电视播出的过程中颁发。（2019 年，当电影艺术与科学学院宣布采取类似举措，称有四个类别的奖项将在广告时间颁发时，引发的强烈反击使得该决定几乎立即被撤销。）
艾美奖的收视率去年上涨了 8%，为 2021 年以来的最高水平。平均有 7.42 百万观众观看。虽然没有达到 NFL（美国职业橄榄球大联盟）的数字，但这是一个持续的迹象，表明在 COVID-19 疫情期间大幅下降后，重大颁奖典礼的观众水平已经稳定。
尽管如此，有些人认为，在观众注意力时长缩短的时代，颁奖礼需要适应并加快节奏。既然第二天就可以简单地观看精彩片段，那么人们是否还对长达三小时的典礼感兴趣？
“如果人们不想看到演员获奖，那么电视颁奖礼的时代就应该结束了，”另一位艾美奖顾问抱怨道。
如果学院将这一修订变为永久性，那么明年有限剧集 / 电影类别的最佳配角奖项申报可能会结束——或者至少大幅减少。
“我认为每个人都会去申报主角奖，”一名网络高管开玩笑说，“即使他们每集只有 19 分钟戏份。”

“我听过一些失误被称作‘专家级错误’，”一名俱乐部玩家对我说道。“我以为专家是不犯错的；这就是为什么他们是专家。”
“每个人都会犯错，”我说。“专家犯的技术性错误很少，但任何人都有盲点。”
在今天的牌局中，西位在黑桃花色进行了超叫，随后在四心合约中出王牌首攻。南位（据说是一位专家）使用了死牌的 A——接着东位弃牌并出方块。南位拿走 A，抽掉对方的所有王牌，然后出一张黑桃，但西位出小牌。死牌的 9 赢了，但南位最终损失了一张黑桃、一次弃牌、一张方块和一张梅花。
亲爱的埃里克：这个问题可能有点离题，但有没有办法能查出是否会举行“生命庆典”（Celebration of Life）？一位非常亲密的朋友在去年秋天去世并安葬了。遗憾的是，由于我搬离了原来的家，没有人通知我埋葬的具体时间。 我正努力让自己走出阴影，但由于没有完成告别仪式（closure），我可能深受影响。我对任何人都没有恶意，我只是想知道近期是否会有聚会。我可能是在奢望。谢谢你倾听。 ——深陷悲痛并思念他
8 / 4 / 26
亲爱的思念他：我对你失去朋友感到很遗憾。葬礼和生命庆典可以帮助我们在悲痛中开始寻找内心平静。如果没有这些仪式，悲痛可能更难化解。不过，这并不是说这种状态会一直持续，或者说你没有任何选择。 首先，请联系你的朋友，询问是否计划了聚会；或者，如果聚会已经举行过了，是否有一份节目单、一段视频或一个纪念网站，你可以通过这些方式分享你对逝者的情感和回忆。询问这一点并不失礼，尤其是因为你已经搬走了。人们会理解你正试图处理悲痛并缅怀你的朋友。
如果没有计划好的活动，可以考虑自己策划一些。 规模不必很大。可以简单到邀请朋友来家里，或者在公园、咖啡馆见面，一起分享关于你朋友的故事。社区支持和纪念活动是这里最重要的方面。不需要形式化；只要能为你和你的朋友提供一个机会，让你们在处理悲痛时感到不再孤单即可。
亲爱的埃里克：我有一个朋友，她通常非常出色且心肠很好，但作为对话者却让人极其心烦。她相当自负——总在谈论她的活动、她的观点、她的经历、她的历史——并热衷于没完没了地谈论所有关于“她”的事情。 她情绪激烈，没完没了地讲，添加不必要的细节，几乎不喘气。她要么是完全不懂察言观色，要么就是根本不在意。此外，她对他人生活或活动的兴趣，仅仅是为了能就此发表自己的观点，结果话题又回到了她身上。 我该怎么做才能制止这种行为，而又不让她感到受伤或愤怒？ ——对话困局

假设她没有意识到自己在做什么。这可能是注意力问题，或者是出于一种弄巧成拙的讨好心态。在这种情况下，你可以在发生时轻轻地指出这一点：“我们已经聊了[x]一段时间了。我想分享一些事情，我们可以换个话题吗？”观察她对这类引导的反应。她可能会很乐意和你聊聊其他事情。
或者，她可能会对此产生抵触。如果是这样，你可能需要更直接一些。在你们友谊的语境下讨论她的习惯，会比概括性地评价她对待所有人的行为更有效。
就你们两人的沟通方式以及你希望改变哪些方面进行一次对话。带着一些积极的建议去沟通，例如：“如果你能多问问我关于[x]的事情，对我来说意义重大。你觉得你能做到吗？”
这其中一部分可能仅仅是她的性格使然。但如果这让你感到不适，最好说出来，这样你才能维持这段友谊。她可能无法在每次对话中完全改变她的方式，但修复这一点并不是你的职责。你可以努力改善的是你们两人的沟通方式，让你们双方都能感到被倾听。

由于故事版权的法律复杂问题，这部电影在多年间难以觅踪；它是一部典型的、带有禁令前色彩的 the melodrama（情节剧），由感情激烈的琼·克劳馥（Joan Crawford）主演，饰演一名在前任情人与希望与其共度新生活的男人之间徘徊的继承人。除了在 Aero 影院的这次放映（以及 9 月在 Frida 影院的另一次放映）之外，全新的 4K 修复版现在也推出了蓝光光盘，这意味着该片在短短几个月内就从基本上不可观看变成了可以摆在你的书架上。— Mark Olsen
《致命魔术》（The Prestige） 学院博物馆，8 月 10 日 这部 2006 年的惊悚片出自克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nolan）在进入“十亿美元票房时代”之前的阶段，代表了这位导演在环形叙事结构和迈克尔·凯恩（Michael Caine）独白运用上的巅峰。故事围绕 19 世纪 90 年代相互竞争的魔术师展开，但不要因此而却步。克里斯蒂安·贝尔（Christian Bale）、休·杰克曼（Hugh Jackman）、斯嘉丽·约翰逊（Scarlett Johansson）以及一只具有高度象征意义的笼中鸟共同营造出一种阴森的紧张感，而整部电影则在悄然触及形而上学恐惧的边缘。即使它让你感到困惑一两次，你也可以尽情欣赏大卫·鲍伊（David Bowie）饰演的神秘发明家尼古拉·特斯拉（Nikola Tesla）：一个来自异地的陌生人在扮演另一个陌生人。— Joshua Rothkopf

在管弦乐团到达之前，他已与对方在一起，且Nasa已经练习了他的部分长达六周。
Nasa（一个英语化的黎巴嫩名字）从 3 岁起就开始学习钢琴。他的父母鼓励他的音乐教育，他在乐队和当地音乐剧中的演出经验足够多，以至于不会在舞台上感到紧张。他还演奏风笛，曾在爱丁堡城堡的爱丁堡皇家军事纹章（Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo）上，与 300 名风笛手共同为 10,000 名观众演出。
“我一直隐约觉得我热爱成为一名音乐家，”Nasa说，“或者如果我能在艺术世界、音乐剧或音乐领域找到机会，我也非常愿意。但我确实拿到了一个‘正规’的学位。”
今年五月，当那个决定性的时刻发生时，他正准备完成在悉尼大学的国际关系研究学习。他的朋友Scarlett在Hurwitz陷入恐慌，询问观众席中是否有人是“惊人的视奏高手”时，热情地举起了Nasa的手。
“我非常感激她，”Nasa说，“否则我可能真的不会尝试。”
那天晚上，他演奏了音乐会的整个下半场。（受雇的钢琴师在中场休息时必须离开。）Nasa说，他认为澳大利亚人倾向于支持弱者——“当晚的观众真的非常希望演出能成功”——但面对这次在洛杉矶的大时刻，“我认为现在显然有更高的期待。”
当黄昏音乐会开始时，Hurwitz向坐满的希腊剧场——一群身着黄色礼服的活力观众——宣布，“来自悉尼的孩子”将在这里演奏全场，这让大家感到惊喜。Nasa在掌声中入场，然后在管弦乐团中央的小显示器前坐到了他的琴凳上。

他从未做过像《愤怒》或《大热》那样大胆的尝试。但在回到家乡后，当他进入状态，开始制作那些阴暗的小规模黑色电影时——其中好几部，如由他那支由 Edward G. Robinson、Dan Duryea 和妩媚的 Joan Bennett 组成的精悍非正式剧组主演的《猩红街道》——朗的表现完全不亚于比利·怀尔德。提醒一下，一旦你开始接触弗里茨的洛杉矶时期，就再也停不下来了。—— J.R.
《非办公时间》(The Off Hours) Vidiots，8月16日 美国独立电影制作曾有一种强烈的地域主义倾向，将电影转化为对其特定时间和地点亲密且身临其境的快照。梅根·格里菲斯的 2011 年这部剧情片便是如此，它捕捉了太平洋西北地区阴冷且深夜的孤独感。凭借艾米·赛梅茨迷人的主演表现，该片探讨了一名在卡车停靠站工作的深夜班服务员的艰辛。这部电影将在 Vidiots 进行 15 周年放映，格里菲斯、赛梅茨以及演员 Scoot McNairy 和 Ross Partridge 将出席由 Mark Duplass 主持的问答环节。看到这样一部低调、未被充分认可的电影能获得如此隆重的周年纪念对待，具有特殊的意义。—— M.O.
《危险关系》(Dangerous Liaisons) Vidiots，8月21日 回顾格伦·克洛斯在斯蒂芬·弗里尔斯 1988 年这部时代剧中的阴险且威严的演绎，什么时候都不嫌晚；这部电影因启发了《残酷意图》而更为人所知。但请回顾原作，它在某种程度上更清新、更年轻。将其视为一次即将展开的回归之作的预习功课吧：约翰·马尔科维奇在《野马九号》(Wild Horse Nine) 中的表现肯定会主导今年秋天的奖项讨论，而他当年饰演的瓦尔蒙——一个时而报复心强、时而玩弄人心，直到最后一刻才敞开心扉的角色——理应赢得所有奖项。“这超出了我的控制，”他重复着，而你信了他的话。—— J.R.

drops, campuses join with nonprofits to expand toddler spots.
By Kate Sequeira
Declining enrollment in California public schools is spawning a new and growing partnership that is helping to keep child-care centers in business — vacant class- rooms are being filled with toddlers and babies. From Los Angeles to So- lano counties, nonprofit day-care operators see un- derused facilities already centered on children — spa- cious blacktops with ample room for portables, empty classrooms and even entire closed campuses — as a way to expand services to fam- ilies desperate for infant and toddler care, the 3-and- younger age group in which there are critical shortages of slots in California. School districts, looking for ways to keep neighbor- hood campuses open amid dwindling enrollment, see future students in the little ones on site — and an oppor- tunity to build family loyalty without having to operate the programs themselves. “The school, it’s a very trusted place for the com- munities,” Early Edge Exe- cutive Director Patricia Lozano said. “If we can add all these elements … I think it’s just making it more ac- cessible.” Recently, centers have

Looking for some mar- mot content? Try OnlyFans or, rather, OnlyMarms. Researchers at a UCLA- affiliated marmot research lab launched an OnlyFans account to post videos of marmots captured in the wild as a way to help gener- ate funding for their work and offset federal cuts to universities. Since it debuted at the end of May, the account known as “OnlyMarms” has posted several dozen videos. In one, a female marmot known as “1” chases away a curious male named “G” as he pokes around her burrow, screeching as they go. In another, a marmot eyes the game camera, get- ting closer and closer to the lens. “These are wild animals, so it’s important for people to know that we are just get- ting footage of them in their natural environment,” said Emily Renkey, a first-year

California has long been known as a progressive state that embraces evolving lifestyles, but when it comes to auto insur- ance, it seems stuck in the 1950s. Single, divorced or widowed and need coverage for your car? You very well might pay more than your married neighbor — a penalty sanctioned by the state and judi- ciary. A California appeals court last month upheld a lower court ruling that rejected alawsuit seeking to abolish the right of in- surers to charge the unwed more because of their higher statistical chance of get- ting into crashes. The decision is ex- pected to be appealed. The lawsuit by 11 unmarried drivers specifically sought a court order that would have forced Insurance Commis- sioner Ricardo Lara to eliminate mar- riage as an optional factor in setting rates, but he opposed it, even as regulators bar the consideration of sex, age, race and other personal characteristics.

“This is really a question about whether the insurance commissioner has the ability to pick and choose what civil rights laws are appropriate to enforce,” said Christian Schreiber, who is among several attorneys representing the driv- ers who also have filed proposed class ac- tions against 12 insurers over the rule. A test conducted by the Consumer Federation of America, cited in a legal brief in support of the litigation, found that unmarried drivers pay more. Single, divorced and widowed drivers got quotes in April 2025 that were up to $108 higher for six months of premiums from four out of five California carriers. Mercury, a large Los Angeles-based in- surer, charged the highest differential, though it offered lower rates to widowed motorists with 34 or more years of driving experience.

general’s order killing Trump’s $1.8-billion fund precedes shift.
By Ben Wieder
WASHINGTON — After experiencing some turbu- lence last week, Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general appears to be back on course. The acting attorney gen- eral released an order Sun- day night officially declaring dead the nearly $1.8-billion so-called anti-weaponiza- tion fund that would have given payments to allies of President Trump. A sepa- rate news releasealso placed limits on tax audit immunity granted to Trump, two of his sons and their businesses. Those announcements were enough to persuade two holdout Republican lawmakers, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas and Sen. Thom Tillis of North Car- olina, on Monday to end their opposition, clearing the biggest obstacle to Blanche’s nomination. The fund and the immu- nity were the product of a

California wildfires is dropping despite the effort to harden them.

At the turn of the century, wildfires destroyed only about 3% of the California homes they came into con- tact with. By 2020, the rate had risen to 18%, according to a new study from UC Merced. It’s an indication that decades of efforts to clear flammable plants around homes and fortify their exte- riors against flames, heat and embers are being out- paced by increasingly ex- treme wildfire behavior and construction in fire-prone areas. “Fires will continue to grow, because climate change has already oc- curred,” said Mukesh Ku- mar, a postdoctoral scientist who led the study. “The en- couraging message is that we have identified the fac- tors associated with higher survivability — even in Cali-

settlement from a lawsuit brought by Trump, two of his sons and their busi- nesses against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of tax documents. Although the memo ap- pears to have cleared the im- mediate hurdles Blanche faced for his confirmation, critics of the deal expressed doubts about whether it really is dead. “These assurances are not worth the paper they’re written on. They don’t pull back on the ongoing at- tempts to give the President, his family, and his affiliates unauthorized immunity from tax audits,” said Bran- don DeBot, policy director of the Tax Law Center at NYU Law. Trump continued to ex- press support for the fund Sunday, saying that it would reimburse people charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol “for the pain they suffered.” “A lot of people like it,” Trump said.

fornia.” While the entire Ameri- can West experienced a de- crease in the percentage of homes surviving wildfires, California had a particularly pronounced drop. The find- ings add to a growing body of research showing the rising number of destroyed homes across the western U.S. is driven not only by wildfires reaching more properties, but also by homes faring worse when wildfires reach them. “That’s really kind of dis- heartening — that we’ve tried our best to mitigate fires ... yet fires are destroy- ing more homes,” said Amanda Carlson, a research scientist with the U.S. Geo- logical Survey who was not involved in the study but has found similar drops in the percentage of homes surviv- ing in much of the American West. California has taken sig- nificant steps to increase the odds of homes surviving wildfires in recent decades, in response to increasingly destructive wildfires fueled partly by global warming and a history of forest mis-

ATHENS — A record- breaking hot and dry sum- mer tightened its grip on Eu- rope on Monday, as water- dropping planes swooped over a major wildfire in Greece, firefighters in France sought to stabilize a blaze in Provence, and much of the U.K. recorded its dri- est July in nearly two cen- turies.

its name to Naoero
By Charlotte Graham-McLay
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — The Pacific Is- land country of Nauru has changed its name to the Re- public of Naoero, its presi- dent said, matching the spelling and pronunciation in the national language. The country’s interna- tional code will change from NRU to NRO and its people will be known as dei-Naoero instead of Nauruan. Com- monly known abroad by the pronunciation of Now-roo, the new name is spoken as Now-ero. The move would return the remote South Pacific is- land nation to its traditional name, a statement posted Thursday to the govern- ment’s Facebook account said. The country became known internationally as Nauru only because its local name was difficult for for- eigners to pronounce and was a matter of convenience rather than one of choice, ac- cording to an earlier govern- ment statement. “This proposed change seeks to more faithfully hon- or our nation’s heritage, our language, and our identity,” President David Adeang said when he proposed the move to Parliament in Janu- ary. With 12,000 residents, Na- uru is the world’s third- smallest country by popula- tion, after Tuvalu and Vati- can City. The tiny coral lime-

SÃO PAULO — What is very likely to be the last re- election campaign for Brazil’s President Luiz Iná- cio Lula da Silva was con- firmed Sunday by his Work- ers’ Party as the 80-year-old leader faces increasing pres- sure from foreign leaders ahead of October’s vote. It will be his seventh race for the top job. Lula’s rival, Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, has enjoyed open support from members of the Trump administration, Argentina’s President Javier Milei and Israeli Prime Min- ister Benjamin Netanyahu. Brazil’s president said in his party convention speech that he wants to boost his country’s defense industry and protect its rare miner- als, declaring that “no Chi- nese, no American, no French will touch” these re- sources without respecting the South American na- tion’s sovereignty. “We will have to be much more daring to change a lot of things in this country,” Lula said. Other members of his party highlighted the risk of foreign intervention in

Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Ecua- dor and Colombia have elected Trump-inspired presidents recently. Flávio Bolsonaro’s father, former President Jair Bol- sonaro, was an ally of Trump but is now serving a 27-year sentence under house arrest for an attempted coup. Lula has managed to draw centrist parties away from his right-wing adver- sary and arrives at his par- ty’s convention with higher popularity in the polls than six months ago. His campaign is touting a change to Brazil’s income tax system in which people with low incomes pay less and a debt forgiveness pro- gram that has quickly be- come very popular.

Our posture and our intent are well defined.

Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, who will run again alongside Lula, said Sunday that Brazil’s electronic voting system “is so good that it doesn’t take votes from Argentines and Americans,” in a reference to Milei and Trump. The Trump administra- tion has imposed new tariffs on Brazilian exports and changed the designation of two local criminal organiza- tions to terrorist groups, which legal analysts say could hurt companies and open a path for other kinds of intervention. Both moves took place after Sen. Bol- sonaro visited the White House and the U.S. State Department.

Earlier at the conference, Philippine Defense Secre- tary Gilberto Teodoro vowed his country will con- tinue to “push back” against the threat from China.

He recently held a long call with Presi- dent Xi Jinping of China, one of Brazil’s most important trading partners. His supporters say he could lead South American trade bloc Mercosur into striking deals with partners globally. Brazil is the biggest economy in the group, but Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay are also members. Like his father, Sen. Bol- sonaro has tried to sow un- founded doubts about Brazil’s voting system. Those statements have raised concerns at Brazil’s Foreign Ministry, which in July denied visas to two U.S. State Department officials reportedly because of fears that they sought to do the same. Trump and his adminis- tration have frequently sought to undermine confi- dence in elections at home and abroad based on un- founded claims. But the State Department denied Brazil’s accusations.

WASHINGTON — Presi- dent Trump said Monday that newly planned talks with Tehran are the “last chance” for Iran to forge a deal and avoid an escalation of U.S. strikes on the coun- try. Trump, speaking at the Oval Office, said he expects negotiations that will re- open the Strait of Hormuz and create a pathway for Iran to address the United States’ concerns about its nuclear program will begin in the next day or two. “The first phase is the opening of the straits. The second phase will be the de- nuclearization,” the presi- dent said. “And that will take a little while.” Although Trump has rev- eled in the U.S. military deci- mating layers of Tehran’s leadership and devastating its air force and navy, Iran is betting it can outlast Trump as he faces diminished stockpiles of munitions and the difficulty of executing a war that is unpopular with the American electorate ahead of November’s mid- term election. Trump said he decided to hold off on ordering Ameri- can forces to carry out new massive strikes against Iran at the urging of gulf allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

BUNIA, Congo — Esther Lutula stopped going for prenatal checkups shortly after the current Ebola out- break was declared in east- ern Congo. Midway into her pregnancy, the 26-year-old feared being put into isola- tion simply for having a fe- ver, a common misconcep- tion. “That’s why I’m waiting until the disease is no longer widespread,” she told the Associated Press from her home in Bunia, the capital of Ituri province and epicenter of the outbreak declared on May 15. But that could be a deadly mistake. Maternal mortality across Ituri soon doubled as news of the outbreak spread, with an average of about six women dying per week due to childbirth complications, according to Noemi Dal- monte, deputy country rep- resentative of the United Na- tions Population Fund, or UNFPA, in Congo. There was an average of 3.1 maternal deaths weekly this year before the out- break; that jumped to 5.8 deaths from May 25 to July 19. Among those, the deaths outside health centers have also jumped from 9.1% to 17.4% within the same pe- riod, UNFPA data shows. About 180,000 pregnancy deaths are recorded every year across the continent. As Congo battles the fastest- growing Ebola outbreak on record, with more than 1,600 confirmed deaths, health and aid workers are warning of a shadow crisis as preg- nant women avoid hospitals and the country’s already high maternal mortality rate
He said that a plan was in place for U.S. forces to carry out “the biggest attack since World War II” on Sunday. But he decided to scrap the plan and give diplomacy more time to play out after hearing from key gulf lead- ers — including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — as well as at the request of unnamed Ira- nian officials. But Trump reiterated that he’s running out of pa- tience with Iran. “This is the last chance for them to sign a good docu- ment,” Trump told report- ers. Earlier Monday, Trump had criticized Iran on social media as being “unbeliev- ably duplicitous.” His ire was raised by Iran claiming that its meetings with Oman on Monday were focused solely on establish- ing a temporary route for safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for the global oil trade. “They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg,’ talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with Oman,” Trump grumbled. Trump said whether “Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking”

climbs even more. Although it’s common for Africans to avoid health cen- ters during public health emergencies because of safety concerns, “with Ebola, it is stronger because Ebola has a lot of rumors,” Dalmonte said in an inter- view. With some wary resi- dents questioning whether Ebola even exists, and health workers in one of Congo’s most remote and volatile regions struggling to respond to the outbreak with few supplies, pregnant women have less care than ever.
Pregnancy complications Congo’s has among the world’s highest rates of both childbirths per woman and deaths around childbirth. Women in the vast central African nation have almost
about preventing Iran from developing nuclear weap- ons. Trump may still come to the conclusion that a mas- sive escalation in the conflict with Iran is necessary. But critics say his hesita- tion also might reflect an un- spoken understanding in- side the administration that U.S. military might alone may not be enough to com- pel Iran to back down and bring an end to a now months-long war that Trump had earlier down- played as a weeks-long “excursion.” “I think what we’re seeing here is a president who has an approach that’s just rather erratic,” said Sen. Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, on CBS News’ “Face the Na- tion.” “At this point, he’s try- ing to get us back to Febru- ary. And I think if he could — if he had a big reset button he could hit — he would cer- tainly take that option.” There have been several moments over the course of the conflictwhen Trump has demonstrated his proclivity for the bellicose only to back off at the last minute, while declaring his threats spurred progress: In early April, the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire in an an- nouncement that came less than two hours before a
six children on average. At least 19,000 women died from pregnancy com- plications in Congo in 2023, according to the latest U.N. data, tied with India and second only to Nigeria glob- ally. Now health workers in Ituri say they are seeing a de- cline in hospital visits as people worry about the risk of infection. This type of Ebola has no approved treatment or vaccine. Women in need of care also fear being caught up in violence. Ebola treatment centers have been attacked by residents fueled by misin- formation or anger over strict outbreak measures. At the Bénédicte Clinic in Bunia, the number of wom- en registered for prenatal care has dropped from 60 each month to about 10, said Dr. Sonny Mwembo, the medical director. Even now, weeks into ef-
deadline Trump had set for Tehran to capitulate or face attacks on bridges and power plants — strikes he said would mean “a whole civilization will die.” Then in June, Trump threatened to hit Iran “VERY HARD” and seize Iran’s energy base on Kharg Island to “assume total con- trol of their Oil and Gas Mar- kets,” he wrote on social me- dia, only to call off the strikes in a later post after claiming that peace negotiations had progressed with high-level Iranian leaders. Left unsaid by the presi- dent was that such an en- deavor would require U.S. troops on the ground in Iran — a risky proposition politi- cally for a president who campaigned on avoiding for- eign entanglements and criticized past administra- tions for becoming bogged down in endless wars. With this latest episode, Trump suggested that Bin Salman played a particu- larly important role in his turning away from escalat- ing the fight. The U.S. president spoke by phone with the de facto leader of the kingdom Sat- urday before announcing he was halting strikes. The crown prince con- veyed that an escalation in fighting could have a severe impact on the global econo- my if Tehran responded to a new U.S. bombardment by

forts to battle misinforma- tion, some residents hold mistaken views of the out- break. “Right now, if you feel sick and go to the hospital, they say it’s Ebola and they put you in quarantine right away. That’s what scares people,” said Elodie Yabiri, a Bunia resident who is preg- nant. Yabiri said she’s avoiding hospitals as much as she can. As long as she still feels her unborn child moving, she believes everything is still OK. The outbreak has strained Congo’s already overstretched healthcare system, complicating access for the pregnant women who still come for prenatal care or birth. Health facilities in the five affected provinces are redirecting staff and supplies to the response, re- ducing access to essential maternal care services, ac-
targeting some of the United States’ gulf allies, according to a person briefed on the call who was not authorized to comment publicly and re- quested anonymity. Saudi officials, the per- son added, have under- scored in their engagements with the Trump administra- tion that the kingdom is in a good position to defend itself against further potential Iranian strikes — as are fel- low energy titans Qatar and the United Arab Emirates — but that Kuwait could be more vulnerable to attacks by Iran-backed militias in Iraq. Also Monday, Iran’s judi- ciary said it executed two men after convicting them of spying for Israel during both last year’s 12-day war and the ongoing conflict. The judiciary’s Mizan news agency identified the two as Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat, who were ac- cused of providing military coordinates, images and other intelligence used in at- tacks on Iranian targets. Last week, Iran publicly hanged two men convicted of killing four police officers during anti-government protests in January.

cording to aid groups. At least 44 infected health workers have died. Many other health workers have walked off their jobs, protesting the lack of pay- ment. At least 12 attacks have been recorded against health facilities and teams since the outbreak was de- clared in mid-May. “We are doing everything we can to make the public understand how dangerous this disease is,” said Dr. Ghislain Maneba, an epide- miologist and community investigator in Ituri’s Rwampara health zone. “We are working day and night without being paid.”
Women at higher risk for disease
Ebola is rare but highly contagious and severe, often fatal. It spreads in people through contact with bodily fluids such as vomit, blood or semen, and with contam- inated surfaces and materi- als such as bedding and clothing. Women are usually the primary caregivers when a loved one becomes ill. Many are among front-line health workers in this outbreak as well. Associated Press jour- nalists covering the out- break have seen pregnant health workers among the responders. Meanwhile, pregnant women who delay care and avoid health facilities “could die not from Ebola itself but because the care that would have saved them was no longer accessible, trusted or safe,” Dalmonte said.
Europe try to avert an energy crisis
By Justin Spike
BUDAPEST, Hungary — Numerous governments across Central and Eastern Europe are taking steps to conserve electricity and avert an energy crisis as record-low water levels on the Danube River have forced power plants to the brink of shutting down. Persistent drought and successive extreme heat waves have deprived one of Europe’s largest rivers of wa- ter, pushing the Danube’s levels in Hungary’s capital, Budapest, to around 4 inch- eson Monday, well below the previous all-time low of 13 inches set in 2018. Water levels are not ex- pected to rise on the Danube in the coming days or even weeks as no significant rain- fall is forecast, and as a re- newed extreme heat wave bears down on the region with daytime highs topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit, elec- tricity and water use are on the rise. The Danube’s record-low levels have pushed Hunga- ry’s only nuclear power plant, the Soviet-built, four- reactor plant at Paks, to the brink of powering down en- tirely for the first time in its 44 years in service. The Paks plant, which uses water from the Danube to cool its reactors, on Mon- day was producing only 240 megawatts of power rather than the usual 2,000 due to successive power-downs of its four reactors. In video posted to Face- book on Monday, Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Mag- yar said engineers had man- aged to keep the plan’s final operating turbine temporar- ily running, averting an ex- pected shutdown on the weekend. A full power-down will probably only happen on Tuesday or Wednesday, Magyar said. “This is very good news, because the complete shut- down of the Paks power plant can still be avoided, at least temporarily, on one of the biggest consumption days,” he said. Hungary’s government last week asked major indus- trial users to curb their elec- tricity consumption and sought voluntary savings from households in order to conserve supply, particu- larly in peak demand hours between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Although conservation measures were initially vol- untary, Magyar’s govern- ment on Saturday issued a decree allowing for them to be made mandatory for large industrial or commer- cial consumers. He said Monday that the conservation push had re- sulted in 700 fewer megawatts of electricity be- ing used the previous day, and thanked Hungarians for their efforts. Meanwhile, plants in neighboring countries have also seen dramatic drops in power generation, as well as disruptions to shipping and agriculture. Romania’s military on Monday used 397 pounds of explosives to blast rock near the lower Danube’s Bala Ca- nal in an effort to redirect water into the river’s main channel and toward the state-owned Cernavoda nu- clear power plant. The Danube’s water flow has fallen to 1,500 cubic me- ters per second in Romania, less than a third of its July average. Authorities have al- ready shut down one reactor unit at the Cernavoda plant, which is operating at about half its normal capacity. Acting Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan announced a nationwide state of alert in the energy sector on Friday, and warned that the Dan- ube’s low water levels threat- ened the shutdown of Cer- navoda’s second reactor. He appealed to citizens to vol- untarily limit electricity us- age in peak evening hours. In Serbia, record-low Danube levels have pushed the country’s key hydroelec- tric plant to operate with only 20% of its capacity, prompting Prime Minister Djuro Macut to preside over an emergency meeting on Monday focusing on energy problems.
people have been forced to evacuate in the Spokane area.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Some residents returned to devastated neighborhoods in eastern Washington state to find their homes leveled by wildfires that erupted across a parched landscape over the weekend, covering yards in charred debris. In some cases, only chimneys were left standing. The fires in and around Spokane, the state’s second- largest city, had burned about 12.5 square miles by Monday and filled the sky with smoke and haze. Light winds and lower tempera- tures arrived to help fire- fighters, but about 700 build- ings had been destroyed and some 67,000 people were under evacuation orders. In one Spokane neigh- borhood, blackened vehi- cles, a boat twisted by the heat and melted plastic re- cycling bins remained. Across the street, lawns were still green and houses were spared, as residents continued to run hoses or sprinklers to water their properties. Among those who re- turned were Miriam and Daniel Sim, both 76. Miriam held her hand over her mouth as she surveyed the ruins of the home where they had lived since 2005. “It’s like a war zone,” Miri-
Trump to block new tariffs, data sharing with ICE
By Kevin Rector
California filed two law- suits against the Trump ad- ministration Monday — one to block President Trump’s latest round of tariffs on in- ternational trading part- ners, the other to block his administration from shar- ing needy families’ personal data with immigration offi- cials. California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, whose office brought the lawsuits alongside other Democrat-led states, said they were both intended to rein in a lawless president pushing policies that threat- en American families al- ready struggling to afford basic necessities. Bonta said the new tariffs are part of a “failed and il- legal economic policy” that has previously been blocked in court. He alleged that the proposed data sharing was part of a broader and illegal “mass surveillance effort” by the Trump administration to target its political oppo- nents. The White House has previously defended both tariffs and data-sharing policies as part of Trump’s “America first” agenda to improve the economic standing of American fam- ilies. In separate statements to The Times, it defended the new tariffs as a legiti- mate means of combating forced labor in international markets, which it alleged is having a negative impact on the U.S., and dismissed the data-sharing challenge as an effort by Democrats to pro- tect undocumented immi- grants over American fam- ilies. Trump has previously defended his tariffs, includ- ing a prior set that was ruled illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court, as necessary to fix years of unfair trading prac- tices in which international partners took advantage of the U.S. However, many economists have deter- mined that the cost of the tariffs is being passed on to U.S. consumers and contrib- uting to the persistent infla- tion causing economic pain nationwide.

Those outstanding re- ports were more likely to
ministration have also previ- ously defended the sharing of personal data among U.S. agencies, and from individu- al states to the federal gov- ernment, as a commonsense way to reduce waste and fraud and to identify and re- move people who are in the country illegally and con- suming benefits intended for American families. The administration has previously sought the per- sonal data of Medicaid recipients, SNAP food as- sistance recipients, immi- grants who have filed taxes with the Internal Revenue Service and registered voters in states across the country. All of those de- mands have also been chal- lenged in court, with varying degrees of success. Bonta’s office has now filed 82 lawsuits against the current Trump administra- tion.
Tussle over tariffs Trump’s latest tariffs, levies of between 10% and 12.5%, took effect late last month and apply to more than 80 countries, including some of the closest U.S. al- lies and largest trading part- ners, such as Canada, Mexi- co and the European Union. They followed a Trump ad- ministration announce- ment of new 50% tariffs on many Canadian products, set to go into effect this month. “Tariffs are taxes, and the American people cannot and should not shoulder the extra costs that come from the president’s failed and il- legal economic policy — no matter how much the presi- dent wants them to,” Bonta said in announcing the law- suit in the U.S. Court of In- ternational Trade. Two previous attempts by the Trump administra- tion to unilaterally levy tar- iffs on trading partners were rejected by the courts in the face of similar legal chal- lenges by California and other states. In February, the Supreme Court rejected a sweeping slate of tariffs Trump had imposed on an emergency basis. In May, the Court of International Trade turned back another set.

latest tariffs are authorized by a separate law not consid- ered in the previous litiga- tion — one related to com- bating forced labor in global trade. Kush Desai, a White House spokesman, told The Times on Monday that the new tariffs were a “legally du- rable tool” to eliminate “un- reasonable acts, policies and practices that burden U.S. commerce.” “A foreign country’s fail- ure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods pro- duced with forced labor is unreasonable and burdens U.S. commerce, including American workers, and must be addressed,” Desai said. The states’ lawsuit ar- gued that the reliance on la- bor law was simply a “guise” used by Trump to impose new tariffs, and that “there is no rational fit between the purported problem of forced labor in international supply chains and the blanket glob- al tariffs” imposed. Bonta brought the case alongside the attorneys gen- eral or governors of 24 other states.
Data-sharing fight California joined a simi- lar coalition of Democrat- led states to file a lawsuit challenging the sharing of needy families’ data, in fed- eral court in Washington, D.C. The lawsuit challenges a notice the Trump adminis- tration issued last month announcing the Administra- tion of Children and Fam- ilies would begin sharing the personal information of re- cipients in the federal Tem- porary Assistance for Needy Families program to outside agencies — including with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other immigration enforce- ment units.

Wayde Deatherage took some back roads and re- turned by early evening. He stopped at the end of the
Administration for Children and Families said it does not comment on ongoing litiga- tion. Desai said that “Demo- crats are once again admit- ting that their top priority is ensuring illegal immigrants can receive taxpayer-funded benefits meant for Ameri- can citizens,” and that the Trump administration “will continue to protect and pre- serve these key federal pro- grams for American citi- zens.” The program provides $16 billion in grants annually to the states, which use it to provide cash assistance to low-income families. Some 350,000 families in California receive support through the program each month, Bon- ta’s office said. Bonta said the sharing of program data with Home- land Security would be a clear violation of the law es- tablishing the fund. “The Trump Administra- tion is exploiting a program designed to ensure children do not go hungry and to help needy families get back on their feet in order to fuel its mass surveillance effort. It’s cruel, unnecessary, and il- legal,” Bonta said in a state- ment. During a morning news conference, Bonta said one of his concerns is that immi- gration officials will use data to target the undocumented parents of U.S. citizen chil- dren who are legitimately re- ceiving assistance through the program. “They’re seeking Social Security information, mari- tal status, income informa- tion,” he said. “We think that they might be interested in that information to poten- tially target parents.” He said he also believes the data sharing is part of a much broader effort by the Trump administration to gather up as much data as possible in order to target in- dividuals who do not con- form with the administra- tion’s political agenda, in-

The lawsuit is just the lat- est in a much broader legal war over the Trump admin- istration’s drive to force all kinds of federal and state so- cial services and financial programs to share the per- sonal data of benefit recipi- ents and other program users. California is fighting alongside other states in court to block the U.S. De- partment of Health and Hu- man Services from sharing personal data of Medicaid recipients with Homeland Security, though some of that data has already been shared. California is also fighting alongside other states in court to block the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture’s demand that states turn over the personal data of millions of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro- gram, or SNAP, recipients. The demand came with a threat from USDA that it would cut off funding to states that don’t comply. Courts have blocked the sus- pension of funds, but some data have been shared. Immigrant rights groups, including Los Ange- les-based Inclusive Action for the City, are also suing to block a Trump administra- tion plan to share IRS tax- payer data with Homeland Security. The Trump admin- istration has said the data sharing would be used to tar- get only criminals, but immi- grant rights advocates have denounced it as an attempt to do just the opposite — to target immigrants who have been in the country and paid taxes for years.
urged to halt limits on mail ballots
cause voting mistakes, coalition of states tells the Supreme Court.
By David G. Savage
WASHINGTON — Cali- fornia and 22 other Demo- crat-led states urged the Supreme Court on Monday to block President Trump’s plan to take control of voting by mail through the U.S. Postal Service. They said it is too late in the election year to impose a new set of regulations for mail ballots. Doing so, they said, would lead to mistakes, in- cluding eligible and regis- tered voters being told they are not on the federal gov- ernment’s approved list. “Because of the high risk of errors and the limited win- dow for correcting mistakes, many of the millions of vot- ers who rely on mail voting — especially voters with disa- bilities and those in rural areas — would likely be de- nied mail ballots and disen- franchised,” they told the court. More broadly, they ar- gued that the Constitution “entrusted the states and Congress — not the presi- dent — with the responsibil- ity to set rules for federal elections.” The justices are likely to act in a few days on whether to allow the Trump adminis- tration’s plan to proceed pending the adoption of new and detailed guidelines. Last week, Trump Solici- tor Gen. D. John Sauer sent an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court contending judges in Boston moved too quickly to halt the adminis- tration’s new federal restric- tions on voting by mail. He argued judges should stand back for now, even though the midterm elec- tions are only three months away. Trump’s executive order required the U.S. Postal Service to use state-by-state lists of eligible voters who may send a ballot by mail. Until now, states have had the constitutional au- thority to register voters for federal and state elections. And nearly a third of Ameri- cans now vote by mail. Trump, however, has in- sisted that voting by mail leads to fraud, including by allowing noncitizens to vote. Congress has refused to adopt new voting restric- tions at Trump’s behest. Instead, he issued an exe- cutive order on March 31 to enlist the postal service and the Department of Home- land Security to ensure “citi- zenship verification and in- tegrity in federal elections.” The order called on Homeland Security to com- pile state-by-state lists of citizens who are eligible to vote. And it told the postal service that it must use those lists to restrict who may vote by mail. “The USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from any individual unless those individuals have been enrolled on a State-specific list,” the order said. But a federal judge and the 1st Circuit Court in Bos- ton ruled Trump’s new regu- lations may not be enforced this year, at least in the 23 Democrat-led states that sued. On Monday, they told the court that USPS delivered nearly 100 million mail bal- lots to or from voters in 2024, with roughly 30% of all voters nationwide casting ballots by mail.
“Folks are more desperate for services than before.” Alexandra Lozano, who was licensed to practice law in Washington state and had an office in Commerce, sur- rendered her bar license and closed her law firm in June. Clients claim she fabricated stories of domestic abuse and human trafficking to ap- ply for humanitarian visas, allegedly without her clients knowing. Lawyers and nonprofit organizations say they have identified at least 60 Los An- geles-based immigrants who were her clients. The number is probably much higher, said Lucero Ortiz, a clinical supervising attorney at the Loyola Immigrant Justice Clinic. “These are people who are trying to follow the rules and navigate a very complex legal system. Their best in- tentions are being taken ad- vantage of,” said Kevin Brennan, the vice president of communications at Cath- olic Charities USA, an or- ganization that represents more than 170 religious agen- cies across the country. More than 60 of its or- ganizations that provide di- rect legal services have been impersonated bycon artists. The organizations have handled more than a thou- sand scam cases in the last year. Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project, a member of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, has received calls about potential impersona- tions involving its attorneys at least weekly since Presi- dent Trump retook office. Lately, it happens daily, said Jose Luis Garcia, the in- terim program director. There is little data on the extent of the fraud cases, be- cause reporting is so spo- radic and scattered across dozens of agencies. One marker: The Federal Trade Commission received 1,626 immigration service fraud complaints in 2025, up from 1,315 the year before and 623 reports in 2023. In total, 26 immigration lawyers have faced disci- plinary actions nationwide this year as of late June, ac- cording to an analysis of data published by the Exe- cutive Office for Immigra- tion Review. Eight of those were lawyers licensed to practice law in California, outpacing the six cases re- ported in all of 2025. The state bar received 1,637 non-attorney com- plaints from July 2025 to June of this year, a spokes- person said. (These are not all related to immigration cases.) The agency received 1,223 complaints the year be- fore, and 908 the year before that. The scams typically range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands.

TOPEKA, Kan. — Kan- sas voters will decide Tues- day whether to elect state Supreme Court justices rather than have the gover- nor appoint them, a push from conservatives who have chafed for years over court decisions they disa- greed with on issues such as abortion, school funding and the death penalty. If the constitutional amendment passes, sup- porters hope to elect at least four conservative, antiabor- tion justices to the seven- member court by 2033. Kansas is considering the change amid concerns that increasingly contentious and expensive judicial elec- tions in other states are making their courts more partisan and less independ- ent.

The fraud has only added pressure on an over- strained immigration sys- tem. Thousands of immi- grants are now seeking new representation, even as most nonprofit and pro bono legal services in the re- gion are at capacity, with their funding cut by the Trump administration.

He sold them a dream. “He promised he could make our case succeed,” she said. “He gave us hope. So we signed the contract.” In three years, they paid him $14,000 as their case stalled. Now he refused to answer the door. That night, her daughter-in-law stayed awake, scouring the internet for answers. She searched for his state bar number. Nothing. She looked at Cali- fornia’s attorney database. Still nothing. Then, she got a hit. But the man wasn’t a law- yer. He was an immigration consultant. Immigration consultants are not attorneys but can be licensed by California to per- form certain functions, such as filling out forms. Although the profession is legitimate, it has become a breeding ground for bad ac- tors, who often claim to be lawyers and prey on vulnera- ble immigrants, said Kath- leen Rivas, the supervising attorney for the immigrant rights project at Public Counsel.

Seven weeks after that 2022 vote, state Atty. Gen. Kris Kobach, then a GOP candidate for the office, told a Republican club in Wichita that electing justices would “slowly and quietly” put antiabortion justices on the high court. The vote-yes campaign’s biggest donor — providing $1.7 million toward the cam- paign’s $3.7 million in spend- ing — is a Nashville-based nonprofit that supports Re- publican candidates, groups and causes. Kansans for Life, the state’s most influ- ential antiabortion group, has spent at least $87,000 in a recent 11-day span on mai- lers and texts. “Kansans can bring an end to this reign of abortion by voting ‘yes,’” Troy New- man, president of Operation

The state bar suggested Montes contact local authorities, but Los Angeles police didn’t have jurisdiction, since the scammer claimed to be based in Utah and the victim was based in Col- orado. She contacted the bank that the impersonator was using, but the company said it couldn’t do anything without a police report. “There’s no mechanism to truly stop this person is what is scary,” Montes said. In Orange County, Rivera reported her impostor to the state bar, which is investi- gating. “Attorneys need to report this,” Rivera said. “We can’t rely on community members who are in removal proceed- ings to report this to the state bar when they have so much going on.” The State Bar of Califor- nia said all immigrants seek- ing representation should ensure the contact informa- tion for any lawyer matches what is on its website. Immi- grants should also demand face-to-face consultations and a valid office address be- fore hiring anyone. The state bar is able to pursue disciplinary action only against California-li- censed attorneys, but has no authority against impos- tors. It can only send cease-

Meanwhile, the national and state affiliates for abor- tion provider Planned Par- enthood contributed $1.6 million toward the vote- no campaign’s $8 million- plus in spending. Jamie Swan, an engineer and college teaching assist- ant who knocked on doors for abortion rights in 2022, is doing the same to try to halt the proposal. “This is just a power grab,” she said.

Backers of the Kansas proposal brush aside argu- ments that electing the jus- tices will give wealthy donors control over the Supreme Court. “Globally and over his- tory, even in its imper- fection, the best system is democracy,” said Elizabeth Patton, state director of the low-tax, small-government group Americans for Pros-

Today’s immigration fraud landscape is decades in the making, lawyers said. The most vulnerable are immigrants who have been in the country for decades, with no access to immigra- tion legalization, Ortiz said. The last comprehensive im- migration reform was passed in 1986, when the Immigration Reform and Control Act legalized mil- lions of undocumented im- migrants. Newer arrivals tend to have more access to specific temporary or humanitarian pathways that provide im- migration relief. A political asylum application, for in- stance, must be submitted within a year of initial entry. For Martha, perhaps the worst action taken by the immigration consultant: He filed a political asylum case on her behalf instead, which she does not qualify for and didn’t want. An invalid claim could lead to deportation proceedings. “He kept our money, and left us with this huge mess,” Martha said. “Now, I’m just always with the fear that I’ll get an immigration appoint- ment for the asylum case that I didn’t want.”
perity, which has spent $935,000 to promote the vote-yes campaign. Twenty-two states elect their top court’s judges, eight in partisan races. Gov- ernors in 26 states appoint them. In South Carolina and Virginia, legislators pick the justices. Kansas elected justices for nearly 100 years before voters amended the state constitution in 1958. The governor now picks one of three finalists named by a nominating commission controlled by attorneys. Legislators have no role. A review of every state’s current and past constitu- tions shows that the last state to add an amendment like the one Kansas is con- templating was Mississippi in 1914. Since then, 18 states’ amendments went the op- posite way. Voters weigh in every six years on whether a justice remains on the bench through a yes-or-no ballot question, but they’ve never booted a sitting justice. Con- servatives say that means justices face no conse- quences for their decisions. Retirements and deaths on the bench allowed Kelly to appoint four of the cur- rent justices. Recently, the governor picked a district court judge who blocked en- forcement of long-standing abortion restrictions in 2023. “We don’t have a good way to fight back,” said state Sen. Mike Thompson, a Kansas City-area Republi- can who backs the measure.
crucial for Blanche’s nomi- nation to advance to the Senate floor for final confir- mation. The committee post- poned its vote on Blanche’s nomination last week over their concerns. “From the outset, we were clear that we needed a written document address- ing our concerns on the IRS audit agreement and the anti-weaponization fund that included constraining the scope of audit protection by limiting it to the parties of the Settlement Agreement and legally ending the anti- weaponization fund,” the senators wrote in a joint statement. The memo released by Blanche addressed “con- cerns that multiple of our Republican colleagues share,” they wrote, and they expressed “gratitude” to him for working with them on resolving the issue. The committee is ex- pected to vote Tuesday on whether to advance Blanche’s nomination to the Senate floor. Republicans hold a slim majority in the Senate, which has been made nar- rower by the ongoing ab- sence of Sen. Mitch Mc- Connell (R-Ky.). That will put a spotlight on his support among a few key Senate Republicans who have shown a willingness to buck Trump in the past, in- cluding outgoing Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Maine Sen. Susan Collins, who is running for reelec- tion.

The rules, which previously applied within 30 feet of homes, were extended to 100 feet. Two years later, Califor- nia adopted a set of wildfire building codes for all new construction, including the use of fire-resistant materi- als for the outer walls and roof, multipane windows that are less likely to shatter in extreme heat and vent covers to prevent embers from sneaking into homes. Now, the state is devel- oping even stricter land- scaping requirements within five feet of homes.

By virtually all accounts, these precautions have meaningfully protected homes. One recent study found that 48% of homes with these precautions sur- vived some of California’s largest fires. Out of homes with no precautions, only 20% survived. Yet fires fanned by in- creasingly extreme weather have stress-tested these measures more than ever before. Carlson’s Geological Sur- vey team found fires are burning more intensely as a result of dry conditions and are getting carried by stronger winds — both of which decreased the odds of homes surviving. Mean- while, Kumar’s UC Merced team found that increas- ingly large fires lowered sur- vival odds.

small Texas town’s levee system
By Rebecca Santana
WASHINGTON — A fed- eral judge is allowing the De- partment of Homeland Se- curity to go ahead with plans to build a border wall through a levee system pro- tecting a small Texas town on the border with Mexico, rejecting arguments by the town that the wall could lead to flooding. The decision late Sunday marks a victory for the Trump administration as it races ahead with efforts to build a $46-billion wall along the U.S.-Mexico border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The town of Presidio, with a population of about 3,200 people, argued that the wall could cause flooding and that the administration isn’t following the law as it rushes its plans. The town’s development district sued this year to stop the depart- ment from going forward with construction. But the judge said in his ruling Sunday that they were unlikely to succeed on the merits of the case. “For the foregoing rea- sons, despite the under- standable concerns ex- pressed by the plaintiff re- garding the harms it and the plaintiff’s residents might sustain by the potential con- struction of the Smart Wall, the Court is compelled to deny the plaintiff’s motion for a stay,” Judge Reggie B.

Walton wrote. Homeland Security has been charging forward with its wall-building plan, with senior administration offi- cials saying a first layer of the structure will be done by next year. In its push, the secretary of Homeland Se- curity has waived numerous regulations designed to pro- tect the environment, wild- life and archaeological and Native American sites. But the department has been running into opposi- tion from landowners, envi- ronmental groups, Native American tribes and others who argue that the rapid construction endangers en- vironmental and religious sites and a way of life along the border. Opponents also question the urgency to fin- ish the wall when migrant crossings from Mexico are at extreme lows. Lawyers for Presidio’s de- velopment district argued in a court hearing that the plans could compromise the levee system protecting the town from flash flooding and that the government flouted a key act that requires it to seek permission from the Army Corps of Engineers be- fore building on or near the levees. “We are very disappoint- ed that the court will allow this potentially disastrous construction to continue, but we remain committed to protecting the Big Bend area and those who rely on the threatened levees,” the
tering decision calling the settlement improper and pointing out that the parties — Trump and an agency he oversees — were not actually independent of each other. Blanche’s independence from Trump was a recurring theme during his confirma- tion process. Before taking office, Blanche had worked as a personal criminal defense attorney for Trump and he mistakenly described him- self as still serving as Trump’s attorney during his nomination hearing last month. Blanche has been the acting attorney general since Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi was fired in April. He previously had been confirmed as the deputy at- torney general. He could continue to serve as acting attorney gen- eral even if he is not con- firmed, but the Trump ad- ministration would be blocked from appointing a replacement deputy attor- ney general. Blanche has been associ- ated with a number of con- troversial actions during the Trump administration, in- cluding the IRS settlement, the Justice Department’s re- lease of files from its investi- gations into deceased sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein, and the prosecutions of Trump’s political enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey. Epstein survivors and more than 1,200 former Jus- tice Department employees are among those who have called on the Senate not to confirm Blanche.

town’s development district said in a statement Monday. Presidio is protected by a series of berms and levees built in the 1970s and 1980s along the Rio Grande and tributaries to combat flood- ing. In court documents, Pre- sidio’s development district said Customs and Border Protection plans to “replace the earthen slope of the ex- isting levee with a concrete wall, with 30-foot steel bol- lard panels installed on top.” The district said it asked the agency for more details but was told they can’t be shared due to “national security.” The government has ar- gued that there is no final plan for where the border wall will go or how it will be built. And it has maintained that it has the authority giv- en by Congress to waive a vast swath of regulations to build the wall as it seeks to get the number of people crossing the border every day to zero. In his ruling, the judge bolstered that argument, saying that it was clear “that Congress did not intend to limit the Secretary of DHS’s waiver authority.” The government also is facing another lawsuit in Texas where an environ- mental group and a church preservation group have teamed up to oppose Home- land Security’s plans.
completely taken over two campuses in San José and Vallejo. Another is expected to open soon at a vacant East Palo Alto campus. Non- profits operating within ex- isting school sites also have continued to expand. One organization based in the San Gabriel Valley has ex- panded its day-care pro- gram to more than a hun- dred elementary schools over the years, recently opened three more class- rooms and will continue to grow as districts signal a need. Los Angeles Unified — confronted with possible school closures amid enrollment drops and fiscal woes — is poised to amplify the trend with its recently approved plan to expand its early education footprint through partnerships with local child-care organiza- tions and a desire to capture families by offering hard- to-find infant and toddler care. “The district gains more kids, [and] community- based preschools preserve their services,” UC Berkeley professor emeritus Bruce Fuller said. “It can be a win- win.” In one corner of Park Ele- mentary School in the Al- hambra Unified School Dis- trict, the shrieks of 3- and 4- year-olds rise from the play- ground. Preschoolers run across the grass, their play area divided by a silver chain-link fence from the rest of the campus. They’re part of a pro- gram run by Options for Learning, which operates in- fant, toddler and preschool classrooms in more than 160 schools across the San Ga- briel Valley and other re- gions of L.A.

Some centers wel- come preschoolers; others accept toddlers too.

WASHINGTON — Presi- dent Trump will travel to Los Angeles on Tuesday and Las Vegas on Wednesday as part of a two-day West Coast trip aimed at high- lighting his administration’s economic record ahead of the midterm elections, a White House official con- firmed. In Los Angeles, Trump is scheduled to attend a Re- publican National Commit- tee dinner at Trump Na- tional Golf Club. The visit comes as the administration seeks to draw attention to his economic policies as time runs out for his admin- istration to ease economic pressures ahead of the No- vember election. “The president will draw asharp contrast between his commonsense agenda and the radical policies of Demo- crats like Gavin Newsom, who keep raising taxes, inviting rampant fraud in taxpayer-funded programs, and protecting illegal immi- grant drug dealers, rapists,

Monthly op- erating costs are $27,000 per classroom, including teacher salaries, utilities and insurance. Opening early learning classrooms on school cam- puses also provides continu- ity of care for young families who can build a sense of community. “That’s the best model, right?” said Tracy Lynch, Options for Learning’s chief program officer. “When we have all walks of life in one setting learning and growing together.” The ability for the district to learn how to cater to younger children helps stave off some of the “negative competitive tension,” when it comes time for families to choose where to send their 4-year-olds, Fuller said.

Trump is expected to “tout his wins for the people of the Golden State despite failed Democrat leader- ship,” Wales said, citing what she described as the “largest middle-class tax cut ever, the most secure border in American history, and a plummeting crime rate.” Newsom has not yet pub- licly commented on Trump’s pit stop in California, but the Democratic governor in re- cent social media posts has criticized Trump’s handling of the economy. In one post on X, New- som pointed out that Cali- fornia is raising the min- imum wage to $17.40 an hour next year as a way to attack Trump and the GOP for “de- fending a $7.25 minimum wage while workers scrape by.” “Pitiful,” the governor wrote. In a second post, New- som amplified a post on X that shows how the prices of items like rice, cotton and
are mustering the band- width to raise money, while also depending on state and federal dollars to fund the seats and some of the neces- sary renovation. Classrooms must meet state licensing requirements and include low sinks, tiny toilets, extra counter space and a minimum of two exits — compared with a K-12 classroom that needs just one. And each age group re- quires an appropriate out- door play area. For six months, Kidango staff worked to renovate To- yon Early Learning Center in San José for the launch of its first classrooms in March. Renovations continue as the campus slowly updates more classrooms. At Toyon, carpet was re- placed with rugs and easy- to-clean linoleum floors.

He toured Pacific Palisades in January 2025 after the L.A. neighborhood and Altadena were ravaged by wildfires. During the visit, Trump signed an executive order in- tended to expedite rebuild- ing efforts. Since Trump last visited the city, there has been a standoff between California leaders and the Trump ad- ministration over federal di- saster aid. In April, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and county Supervisor Kathryn Barger met with Trump in the Oval Office to talk about their request for funding to help with the wildfire recov- ery efforts, an ask that Trump signaled support for but has yet to formalize. Following his visit in Cali- fornia, Trump will travel to Nevada, where he will deliver remarks on the economy at Red Rock Casino.
ter director Yesenia Rivas Berajano said. Conversations over com- munity need versus avail- able space led Kidango to ex- periment with the public- school-based approach, said Scott Moore, chief executive of the nonprofit. Both Alum Rock and Berryessa union school dis- tricts, which house Kidango early learning campuses, have struggled with declin- ing enrollment. Alum Rock Union enrolls less than half of the students of its peak years in the early 2000s, and a $20-million budget short- fall in the 2024-25 school year resulted in multiple school closures and consolidations. Berryessa Union has lost nearly a quarter of its stu- dents over the last decade, leaving a $6-million budget deficit. Kidango began moving into Alum Rock Union in 2003 and then Berryessa Union in 2025 — before tak- ing over entire campuses in both districts. “One of the hardest things to afford is child care for young kids,” Moore said,
get last word on late abortions
By Geoff Mulvihill
Massachusetts is on the way to giving doctors the fi- nal say on whether an abor- tion should be allowed late in pregnancy, a move expected to affect few cases but that supporters say is needed be- cause hospitals are now turning away women they should be serving. The state Senate adopted the measure Fri- day, sending it to Demo- cratic Gov. Maura Healey, who has signed other laws strengthening abortion rights. Under current Massa- chusetts law, abortion is le- gal for the first 24 weeks of pregnancy. It is allowed after that only if a physician using best medical judgment says it is necessary to preserve the life, physical or mental health of the woman be- cause of a lethal fetal anom- aly or diagnosis or because the fetus probably wouldn’t survive outside the uterus. State Rep. Christine Bar- ber said that under that framework, hospitals turned away some women for abor- tions late in pregnancy, even in a case where a fetus had a stroke and was determined to be unlikely to survive.

adding that making more slots available has allowed families to remain in costly regions such as San José, where child-care access can be scarce. In California, roughly 1,100 community-based pre- schools have closed since 2021, according to UC Berke- ley research. More than 500 of those were located in L.A. County. The transitional kindergarten growth has si- phoned more lucrative 4-year-olds from their sites — as babies and toddlers require higher staff ratios and more intense care — putting even more centers at risk of closing, research showed. Even with the ongoing transition, there are not enough child-care slots to care for all of the toddlers and infants who need it. Ac- cording to Fuller’s research, no more than a third of par- ents raising a 3-year-old can find an open slot in any form of preschool in California. Access remains even more scarce among younger chil- dren. At Rise Vallejo, which
The new law would take out the list of specific rea- sons and say simply that it would be allowed “based on the professional judgment of the physician.” Opponents say that it would allow abortion until birth — even on healthy fe- tuses — and that later abor- tions are more complex and risky for the women. “While this legislation prioritizes access, it does not prioritize a woman’s safety,” Myrna Maloney Flynn, pres- ident of Massachusetts Citi- zens for Life, said in a video urging supporters to tell lawmakers to reject the bill. If Healey signs it, the law would be the latest change to a U.S. abortion landscape that received a shock four years ago after a Supreme Court ruling that over- turned Roe vs. Wade and al- lowed states to enforce abor- tion bans. Some already had bans on the books as they waited for permission to enforce them, and others adopted bans or restrictions after the ruling. Currently, 13 states are enforcing bans at all stages of pregnancy, with some ex- ceptions. Another four bar it after about six weeks of pregnancy — which is often

Roughly 100 students are enrolled in the eight class- rooms that have opened since April, according to Juan Cisneros, executive di- rector of Child Start Inc. Seven more classrooms re- main to be opened and could be ready later in August as li- censing approval finishes for the last providers. Each provider has a five- year memorandum of understanding with Child Start Inc., which owns the school campus. They each pay their share of opera- tional costs based on the number of classrooms they operate, which are charged at a $2,612 monthly rate and include maintenance, custo- dial services, utilities and other indirect costs. The set- up saves them roughly half of overall costs, according to Cisneros. The opening of Rise Val- lejo ultimately cost $20 mil- lion, including the purchase and renovation of the site. It took roughly three years to acquire the site and begin to open the class- rooms. Vallejo City Unified board Trustee John Fox said the district was pleased to see the former school campus repurposed for early child- hood, providing a much- needed service. Partners relied on fed- eral, state and city funding and grants and sought pri- vate donations in an effort spearheaded by First 5 So- lano. “We just didn’t take no for an answer because we be- lieved in it,” said Lisette Es- trella-Henderson, the First 5 Solano commission chair.

before women realize they are pregnant. Several Democrat-con- trolled states have moved the other way, adding laws that seek to protect medical providers from prosecution for providing abortion to pa- tients in other states. Massachusetts is among the states that has gone fur- thest, with a shield law that applies to those who pre- scribe abortion bills via tele- health to women in states where abortion is banned. Antiabortion officials in Louisiana and Texas are testing those protections. Most abortion-related state laws adopted this year have not made for major changes on when or how abortion is allowed. For instance, a new Col- orado law requires colleges that have student health centers to provide abortion pills for students starting in August 2027. Private schools that say it conflicts with their religious beliefs would be exempt. A new Oklahoma law makes it a felony to buy or sell those pills for the pur- pose of an unlawful abortion for someone else.

In a boot camp that tests brains over brawn, military veterans seek- ing a college education convened at Caltech this summer to simulate the intensity of finals week among faculty, researchers and mentors, participating in a program that helps them assess whether they are ready to transition to acade- mia. The Warrior-Scholar Project is a STEM intensive founded in 2012 at Yale and has served nearly 3,000 veterans, challenging them with up to 75 hours of academic work. The program has been offered at Caltech for seven years. Participants choose between three types of programming: STEM, business fundamentals and a humanities course. The most popular is the STEM track — sci- ence, technology, engineering and mathematics. “The idea is that by going through WSP at Caltech, they understand, ‘I have what it takes to be at one of these phenomenal in- stitutions,’ ” said Ryan Pavel, chief executive of the nonprofit and a former Marine sergeant. “If I want to pursue something at Caltech or MIT, then there’s a pathway.” About 80% of the project’s par- ticipants complete their degree, Pavel said. More than half are first- generation college students. “This is a population which is very worth actively recruiting be- cause there’s specialized talent here,” Pavel said. Universities nationwide host the boot camps, including the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Notre Dame and USC. The program is free for participants, funded by a host of lo- cal and national foundations, cor- porations and individual donors. “There’s something about the demystification of just being on campus helping them build the skills to actually excel in a STEM curriculum,” Pavel said. “We are committed to making sure veter- ans understand what they are ca- pable of, and that could very well include education at an elite insti- tution.”
A long day of boot camp The Caltech camp begins at 8:30 a.m. with a class on physics and motion, continues with an ac- tivity such as a behind-the-scenes lab tour or science exhibit, and concludes with rigorous problem sets that students rarely finish by the end of a day that typically stretches to 10 or 11 p.m. “We want them to push them- selves to their limits here so that they can see where they need to im- prove before college,” said Joshua Saint Juste, a program fellow, teaching assistant and former par- ticipant. The boot camp fosters an envi- ronment where students feel com-

NEW YORK — A school district in a rural corner of upstate New York is hitting pause on plans to deploy an AI-powered, humanoid ro- bot in the classroom after state education officials, teachers and local residents raised concerns, including the maker’s ties to a com- pany that produces realistic sex bots. The Salamanca City Cen- tral School District’s board approved the nearly $60,000 purchase from Realbotix with visions that “Sally,” as the stationary robot with long dark hair has been nick- named, would enhance the education of high school stu- dents studying robotics and technology fields. “Having a difficult time programming an Arduino board? Don’t even know what an Arduino board is? Ask Sally and she can ex- plain it,” Supt. Mark Beehler said. “The robot also pro- vides opportunities for stu- dents to learn how the robot is maintained, how it is up- dated with new, approved content, and how to trouble- shoot issues.” But as news spread in the small community located on the Seneca Nation of Indi- ans reservation, parents and

teachers worried about how students’ personal informa- tion would be used. Union- ized teachers took aim at Realbotix’s sex doll sister company, even as district of- ficials and the company it- self stressed the two manu- facturers operate independ- ently. “A robot built by a com- pany associated with sex dolls has no business in our classrooms,” said Melinda Person, president of the la- bor union New York State United Teachers. For now, the robot pilot remains on hold as the dis- trict works through “en- hanced student data privacy agreements” with the state education officials and con- tinues outreach to the com- munity, according to a state- ment the district posted on Facebook late last month.
State officials and teacher concerned State Education Com- missioner Betty Rosa said she remained concerned about the robot’s role in the classroom even after her staff met with district offi- cials. “Although you confirmed that the robot would not have any role delivering classroom instruction, a re- cent presentation to the board characterized the ro- bot as a ‘tutoring platform,’ ” Rosa wrote in a letter to the district. She also echoed resi- dents’ concerns about what data privacy and security

protections would be used. Unionized teachers, meanwhile, suggested the effort was a first step toward replacing, flesh-and-bone educators. “Sally” is able to move her arms and hands but not her legs. “Our students don’t need robots,” Person said. “They need real relationships with caring adults.”
District officials defend buying robot
Beehler stressed the pi- lot, which also includes roll- out of a virtual, AI-powered teacher’s assistant and at- home tutoring program, is not about replacing staff. “There is no possible way a robot can replace a human in a school,” he said. “Even if it were possible, it would in no way be in the best interest

of students. Teaching is a human-to-human process.” Beehler, who was con- nected to Realbotix through a former colleague, said the Las Vegas-based company was a natural fit because its robots already are programmed with WozEd, a curriculum from Apple co- founder Steve Wozniak that the district uses. Last year, a San Diego charter school rolled out two AI-powered robots pur- chased from Engineered Arts, a robotics company based in the United King- dom, for $500,000. Salamanca Schools, in social media posts, stressed that “Sally” wouldn’t be col- lecting students’ personal information, recording au- dio or video of its interac- tions or sending data to Realbotix.

The robot also has been programmed to steer clear of inappropriate topics such as sex, violence and gam- bling, and it wouldn’t be able to search the internet or draw answers from unvetted generative artificial intelli- gence services. Instead, all information on “Sally” would be stored locally, with the robot con- suming about the same amount of energy as a lap- top, the district said.
Robot maker answers criticism
Realbotix said student authentication would be handled through the dis- trict’s existing systems, and any student-linked informa- tion would remain en- crypted and under the dis- trict’s control. The company also pushed back at suggest- ions that “Sally” was simply arepurposed sex doll, saying it was a “newly manufac- tured, purpose-built educa- tional unit” with no modified hardware. The school’s robot comes from Realbotix LLC, which focuses on healthcare, edu- cation and other commer- cial applications. A sister company, Intima LLC, holds an ownership stake in Real- Doll, a longtime maker of sex dolls, including a line of AI- powered models billed as the “world’s most advanced sex robot.” “Realbotix LLC and In- tima LLC have different product offerings with no crossover,” the company
fortable failing, said Saint Juste, 20, who will attendKennesaw State University in the fall. The program “shows you your strengths and your weaknesses, and what you want to do to fix your weaknesses, to get strong, to get prepared for college,” he said. Students have the opportunity to work with researchers, PhD can- didates and professors conducting research at the campus through a group research project in which they present their findings to peers and professors. “I was working with an astro- physicist, and we were measuring the distance between stars within different galaxies ... I got a little taste of what astrophysics could be,” said Diego Maldonado, 23, a former participant and a current fellow who will attend Amherst University in the fall. Most participants already have been accepted to college, but many have not been in school for a while. Many are delaying college to enter into active duty first, even if they al- ready received acceptance letters.
Building a bridge to academia
“Everybody is on a different journey. What we want to do here is equip them, so that they’re ready when they do join,” Saint Juste said. Warrior-Scholar Project fellows teach a college readiness curricu- lum to help inspire confidence. “It’s been comforting that not everybody has it fully figured out yet,” participant Ignacio Mora said. “We are very supportive of one another.” “There is a certain type of tight- knit community that veterans have, but when you can maintain these connections across the coun- try, it makes us feel like we belong in these elite academic communi- ties,” Maldonado added. Professors are eager to work with student veterans and believe the life experience veterans bring to the classroom is crucial to the in- tellectual diversity of institutions like Caltech. “I assume they’ve encountered much bigger challenges than being in a classroom and so they seem to come to it with a really healthy atti- tude and a willingness to engage with the material. That made it really fun to work with them,” Cal- tech LIGO laboratory staff scien- tist Jonah Kanner said. The LIGO laboratory is a major research fa- cility that partners with MIT to study gravitational-wave astrophysics. “Being in the military is very in- tense, but a lot of the skills we de- velop in the military come out in ac- ademics ... I would also say that af- ter service, we are definitely a lot more supportive of each other,” Mora said.
said in a statement. “The two subsidiaries maintain their own management, per- sonnel, payroll, facilities, manufacturing operations, product development, and market strategies.”
Some residents remain wary
Beehler argued that it is crucial for isolated districts like Salamanca, which is lo- cated along the Allegheny River near the Pennsylvania state line, to find new ways to introduce cutting-edge products into classrooms. “In most cases, our stu- dents need to travel 1-2 hours to have opportunities to see emergent technology,” he said. “One of the intents of the robot is to help level the playing field and motivate students to continue study- ing robotics, AI, and STEAM-related career pathways.” Some Salamanca resi- dents, though, remain un- convinced. Joplin Ficek, who gradu- ated from Salamanca High School in 2024 and works at a day care, doesn’t see any rea- son to have robots or AI take such a prominent role at her alma mater. “They just need to hire more people who are willing to put in the effort for the children,” Ficek said. “They need more interaction with the children than having some robot raise our kids.”
retailer Reformation is a behemoth. It also faces new challenges.
By Annika Duneja
What started as a little tailored vintage clothing store on La Brea Avenue blossomed into a billion-dol- lar company. Reformation, the wom- en’s clothing company, is known for its sustainable mission and slogan: “Being naked is the #1 most sus- tainable option. We’re #2.” Its clothes have been spotted on the shoulders of celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Hailey Bieber for more than a decade, but it wasn’t until last week that Reformation was listed on the stock market, and with a rise in its share price midday Monday, its market value climbed above $950 million. It has been a stunning rise, starting with manage- ment and manufacturing out of Los Angeles and ex- panding to 70 locations, mainly in the United States, with 13 in California and storefronts in Canada, France and the United King- dom. It plans to use the mon- ey it raised to open 12 to 14 stores each year. “We’re still really early on in our inning,” Reformation Chief Executive Hali Boren- stein said in a CNBC inter- view. “We have less than 1% penetration of our core mar- ket, and so you’re going to see a lot more from us.” Still, some consumers and analysts are concerned that growing too much could damage the brand and the quality and sustainability it is known for. “At one point I feel like Reformation was trying to grow too fast, and that’s where they lost sight of qual- ity,” Jessica Ramirez, co- founder of the Consumer Collective, a consumer in- sights company, said. “I wouldn’t want that same pressure to come back once they’re public, which is what tends to happen.” The apparel company was founded by Yael Aflalo, a California native, in 2009. It started with Aflalo custom- izing vintage clothing in the back of a store and selling it before transitioning to pro- ducing its own clothing us- ing sustainable materials.
finance minister confirmed both sides intervened in markets.
By Mayuko Ono and Elaine Kurtenbach
The U.S. dollar weakened sharply against the Japa- nese yen on Monday after President Trump and Japan’s finance minister confirmed both sides had in- tervened in markets. Before late last week, the dollar was trading above 163 yen, touching 40-year highs. After regulators were sus- pected of stepping in, it fell below 160 yen. On Monday, after the offi- cial announcement of the in- tervention, the dollar fell to around 157 yen during U.S. trading. Even though it has at- tracted millions of bargain- hunting tourists, the yen’s prolonged weakness against the dollar has been a source of frustration for Tokyo. Since Japan imports so much of what it consumes, a weak currency pushes prices higher. High oil prices have amplified that problem and that’s putting pressure on the administration of Japa- nese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to do more to ad- dress the rising cost of living.
Joint intervention was needed Efforts earlier this year to raise the value of the yen against the dollar did little to budge the exchange rate. Normally, foreign ex- change markets determine the relative values of curren- cies, but there are many fac- tors that shape what hap- pens in the markets. A big gap between inter-
REFORMATION started in L.A. and now has 70 locations in the U.S. and abroad. Above, a store in San Diego.
In 2013, Aflalo started de- signing and manufacturing clothes along with tailoring, and began selling them through a website. Reforma- tion opened a factory in Los Angeles the same year. At the time, the company was best known for its dresses, but over the next few years expanded its offerings to more apparel. Reformation opened its first international stores in Toronto and London in 2019, when it partnered with pri- vate equity firm Permira to further scale. Aflalo contin- ued to lead the company un- til 2020, when Borenstein took over as CEO. On its website, the com- pany lists Tencel, recycled cotton and dead-stock fab- rics as some of its preferred materials to meet its sus- tainability standards. It also discusses practices such as limited collections it uses to keep the environmentally friendly label. It found a niche of fash- ionable consumers who wanted cutting-edge clothes you could wear to a wedding but also something that could last and was better for the environment than mass- produced products. “They were a sustainable apparel brand that wasn’t a potato sack,” Ramirez said. “For a long time, that’s really

est rates in the U.S. and Japan has led investors to sell yen and buy dollars to take advantage of the higher yields from dollar-denomi- nated assets. Both the Bank of Japan and the Federal Re- serve kept their interest rates unchanged at meet- ings last week, maintaining that gap. So, last week, when the dollar slipped below 160 yen and stayed there, the U.S. side was suspected of lend- ing a hand. Officials usually stay mum on such actions. But on Sunday, Trump con- firmed that the U.S. side had helped, and Japanese Fi- nance Minister Satsuki Katayama likewise issued a statement saying the fi- nance ministry had pur- chased yen in coordination with the U.S. Treasury De- partment.
what we had: product that was sustainable and it wasn’t good-looking.” The brand emphasizes that its pieces are meant to last even with heavy use and not just be tossed. One Reformation fan once wrote in the New Yorker that the brand’s sus- tainable, minimalist dresses developed a cult following for finding the right price point, “mostly priced in the low three digits — just the right amount to blur the lines between those who thought of a two-hundred- and-eighteen-dollar jump- suit as an affordable basic and those for whom it would be an impractical splurge.” Although it has done well in its sweet spot, it could face the headwinds that many hot brands do as they strug- gle to grow beyond their hardcore fans and remain relevant. Reformation has tried to position itself outside of other millennial brands, analysts say, but the cyclical nature of the apparel market makes the category a tough sell. Apparel companies, in- cluding Allbirds, which has pivoted since listing, can often struggle in the stock market as they lose buzz af- ter their initial public offer- ings.
“We will not hesitate to conduct further joint inter- vention,” she said. Such overt acknowledg- ment of market intervention is rare, said Neil Newman, managing director and head of strategy at Astris Advis- ory Japan. He said the last big example was when gov- ernments intervened after a massive earthquake and tsunami disaster in north- eastern Japan in 2011.
Why the U.S. is assisting
When asked why Wash- ington was helping, Trump said Sunday that “we have a good relationship with Japan. We’re very strong —- very, very strong financially — and they are, you know, they have a weakening yen, and they wanted a little bit of help, and we’re always there
“Look at Birkenstock. It hasn’t been a bad company, and there’s still always a lot of questions around it,” Ra- mirez said. “On Running has been having year-over-year growth that is unseen, and they still get tanked when earnings come through.” Reformation has faced worries in the past that it was growing too much . A few years ago, the brand started facing criti- cism for lowered quality as it began rapidly opening more stores and introducing new product offerings such as bags and shoes. Some fans said they noticed that dip in quality back then. Felipe Caro, a business professor at UCLA, said he was skeptical of Reforma- tion’s ability to hold on to its sustainable image after go- ing public, which is part of the brand’s popularity. He said investors may have to compromise on scale in or- der for the brand to continue to see success with its cur- rent customer base. “I’m not seeing them growing to the scale of H&M or Uniqlo,” Caro said. “But that doesn’t mean it’s neces- sary. Given that they charge higher prices, they might be able to remain very healthy financially without having to have the numbers that you see at the fast-fashion

for Japan. Japan’s been very good to us, with the excep- tion, of course, of Pearl Har- bor.” Trump said the U.S. got “financial benefit” out of the intervention, calling it a “sig- nal of friendship.” “It’s also good for the world economy,” he said. A weaker dollar makes U.S.-made goods more com- petitive, reducing their costs in yen terms, and might help increase American exports to Japan, Newman said. “It’s very rare that the Americans will work with the Japanese on this, but there is an alignment of in- terests here basically be- tween Japan and America,” Newman said. It was a “low-cost” way for Washington to pay a favor to akey U.S. ally, while also pro- tecting the stability of for- eign exchange and bond

brands.” It might also struggle with balancing its sustain- ability goals with sharehold- er pressure to lower costs. Ramirez said Reformation may see some difficulty with investors understanding the brand and the uncertainty around direct-to-consumer brands. “When you’re private, you can just say, ‘I want to do it this way,’ and maybe forgo a little bit of profit in order to achieve other things that are considered important,” Caro said. “Do they just say we only care about profit, forget about the sustainabil- ity part? That might kill the brand.” Reformation says it has only scratched the surface on its potential customer base. And now it has the war chest to go after more types of consumers. Borenstein said the com- pany isn’t feeling the same pressures as the rest of the retail industry, because of the wide customer base it at- tracts. “Our active customer numbers are incredibly strong, and so we are feeling really good about our ability to continue to execute throughout the year, even with all of the dynamic envi- ronment that we are op- erating in.”
markets, Shigeto Nagai, head of Japan economics for Oxford Economics, said in a report.
Yen may be on a stronger path
The latest intervention appears to be having a more durable effect than earlier cases this year, and the yen may have a slightly stronger path for the rest of the year, Nagai said. But the factors that have contributed to the yen’s long-term weakness remain. Takaichi has pushed to cut Japan’s sales tax on food to 1% from 8% and to dra- matically increase govern- ment spending. Such moves would tend to weaken the yen since it would increase inflation and add to Japan’s already massive govern- ment debt. The Bank of Japan has moved slowly to raise its benchmark rate from near zero to the current 1%, its highest level in 31 years but still well below the Federal Reserve’ s rate of 3.5% to 3.75%. It probably will continue to slow-walk any changes as it evaluates the effect of the Iran war and other factors on the economy, Nagai said. Meanwhile, a surge in oil prices because of the war and resulting higher infla- tion has kept the Fed from cutting rates. “The yield differential re- mains wide, Japan’s energy- import burden remains sig- nificant, and the Bank of Japan is still moving more slowly than the market would normally require to generate a sustained cur- rency reversal,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Manage- ment said in a commentary.
station’s on-air staff out, all-music format in
Inland Empire outlet to ditch personalities over the summer.
By Cerys Davies
Over the weekend, Red- lands-based radio station KCAL-FM 96.7 started playing music without any on-air staff, after laying off all of its personalities last week and transitioning into an “All Music, All the Time” classic rock format. “96.7 KCAL Rocks is turn- ing the page today. Thank you to every listener who made the last chapter what it was,” the station’s staff wrote on social media. “Clas- sic rock. Nothing but music. All day across the Inland Empire.” The station’s veteran ra- dio hosts, part-timers and weekend fill-ins all were cut loose, including Daryl Norsell, who said he worked at the station for 42 years; Patrick Tish, who said he worked there for 15 years; and Nikki Preston. John De- Santis, the evening host and program director for the last six years, confirmed the lay- offs on social media. “They will be moving to an automated, human-less format. To say this is shock- ing is an understatement. I have a lot to process, and will be saying more shortly,” De- Santis wrote. “But for right now, I just want to thank all of you for letting me be part of the KCAL family. It has been a radio dream come true. You will always rock.” The station has served the Inland Empire since first hitting the airwaves in 1965. KCAL is owned by Anaheim Broadcasting Corp., which also operates the area’s clas- sic hits station, KOLA 99.9 FM. Together, the two sta- tions reach more than 800,000 weekly listeners in the Riverside-San Bernar- dino market, according to Anaheim Broadcasting. The company could not be reached for a comment on the layoffs. “We rebuilt KCAL around the music our listeners grew up on, the songs and the art- ists that made classic rock,” Kelly Sanders, the chief op- erating officer of Anaheim Broadcasting Corp., said in a news release to the South- ern California News Group. “KCAL will deliver a focused, consistent listening experi- ence with broader appeal for both our audience and ad- vertising partners.” The release also noted that the change “expands the station’s musical focus and will have fewer interrup- tions and more music throughout the day” and did not address the layoffs, ac- cording to a report from the OC Register. This is the second major blow to the Inland Empire’s broadcast community this summer. In June, the last local on- air hosts at Riverside-based KGGI-FM were laid off, in iHeartMedia’s latest round of national job cuts. In an in- ternal memo, the media gi- ant said the cuts were meant to restructure its radio pro- gramming to better “lever- age” the company’s technol- ogy. Steve “Razz” Brazill started working at KCAL FM in 1987, as the station’s resident concert photogra- pher and radio personality. In a social media post, he called KCAL his “home” and reminisced about hosting live events at the now-closed Whiskey Creek restaurant in Redlands. “KCAL has been a part of my identity. And I’m so happy to say I never really had co-workers, I had friends and family, and memories I’ll cherish forev- er,” Brazill wrote. “Being a part of KCAL ended for all of us today, but those relation- ships won’t. I’ll miss seeing you all at the studio, but I look forward to seeing you in real life.”

Thomas Plantenga un- abashedly says he’s been “stealing” from companies across the globe. The chief executive officer of Vinted, Europe’s biggest consumer- to-consumer fashion marketplace, says he freely borrowed from their strate- gies to put together an on- line platform that’s now shaking up the region’s $573- billion fashion industry. “I read a ton of business reports from Amazon, Mer- cadoLibre, Mercari, Costco on how they work, what they do, and we’ve picked the el- ements of the best compa- nies in the world to build a transactional marketplace for C2C which nobody’s ever built,” the 42-year-old, Dutch-born executive said during an interview at Vint- ed’s headquarters in a four- story building in the heart of the Lithuanian capital, Vil- nius. Vinted’s office is in an area that’s just a short walk from the old city, with a mix of Soviet-era factories con- verted into trendy lofts, cre- ative hubs, and sleek, mod- ern business centers. Sitting in a glass-walled conference room in jorts and leather mules, Plantenga is relaxed and unhurried on that July day, matching the vibe around him as employees — many from Vinted’s Europe- an offices, in town for its an- nual summer gathering — sit in open pantry areas, chatting over coffee. Founded in 2008 as a plat- form for individuals to buy and sell secondhand clothes, Vinted has created such a formidable market- place that the platform, along with some of its rivals, is eating into the sales of fashion and luxury houses. McKinsey’s State of Fashion 2026 report says the second- hand market will grow two or three times faster than the firsthand one from 2025 to 2027 as penny-pinching consumers seek bargains. “The risk for the overall sector is that secondhand clothing cannibalizes the sale of new fashion,” ana-

charged the same for mar- ried and unmarried drivers. Rex Frazier, president of the Personal Insurance Fed- eration of California, a trade group that includes Mercury and other big auto insurers, said carriers charge the higher rates with good rea- son: Unmarried people get into more collisions. “I always assumed that marriage was related to a person being more likely to have kids, and so you’re go- ing to drive safer if you’ve got kids in the car,” he said. The demographic also helps capture the drivers most likely to get into crashes: young male drivers, since insurers in California are prohibited from consid- ering sex and age in setting rates. In arriving at the July 16 decision, the 1st Appellate District panel in San Fran- cisco reasoned that two state civil rights laws that bar discrimination based on marital status have to defer to Proposition 103, the 1988 ballot measure that governs the state’s property and cas- ualty insurance industry. The proposition gave the insurance commissioner the authority to establish op- tional auto insurance rating factors that are predictive of loss claims — in addition to a policyholder’s driving record, experience and an- nual miles driven, three mandatory rating factors. Among the legal argu- ments cited in the 2-1 major- ity opinion is that the state’s bedrock civil rights act doesn’t confer any right lim- ited by law, in this case the authority the voter-passed proposition gives to the in- surance commissioner to es- tablish optional rating fac- tors that aren’t arbitrary. A dissent by presiding Justice Alison Tucher con- cluded the majority misread the proposition, which she said must adhere to the state’s civil rights laws. Harvey Rosenfield, the author of Proposition 103, whose organization, Con- sumer Watchdog, filed a

lysts at RBC Capital Mar- kets wrote in a note this month, also pointing out that many international la- bels are rushing to blunt the impact with resale offers of their own. With the taboo around buying and selling second- hand clothes evaporating, celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Paul Mescal and Chloe Sevigny openly talk about their sales on such platforms. On the popular podcast “Table Manners,” singer Suki Waterhouse said that’s how she buys vintage clothes. “I love Vinted,” she said. As economic necessity and a sustainability-con- scious new generation lift the stigma around used clothes, about 60% of global consumers are likely to shop resale this year, McKinsey estimates, citing ThredUp and GlobalData. The figure is even higher in China, ex- ceeding 70%, driven by de- mand for premium and branded items with afford- able price tags. The global resale apparel market is expected to reach $317 billion by 2027, the con- sulting firm said, a 23% jump from last year. The scale and

brief in support of the driv- ers, said marital status “turns Prop 103 upside down” by allowing “unjust demographic characteris- tics to price auto insurance.” “That’s why voters or- dered the industry to obey the civil rights laws and to base premiums on factors within a person’s control — like their driving safety record and the number of miles they drive every year,” he said. Only a few states, includ- ing Massachusetts and Hawaii, have barred marital status as a rating factor. The regulation allowing marital status to be consid- ered has been around since 1996, when then-Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush included it in regulations implementing Proposition 103.
technology of the market- places have brought them to “an inflection point,” letting them turn millions of trans- actions into profits, the re- port said. “The real driver is the consumer,” said Poonam Goyal, a senior retail analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. After years of inflation, shoppers have become more value-conscious, while younger generations in- creasingly see buying secondhand as mainstream, she said. “People are proud of buying resale. They want to show off the deal they found. It’s a completely dif- ferent mindset.” Vinted has led the pack in Europe by investing in logis- tics, payments and technol- ogy to draw in more buyers and sellers to its platform. That’s given it the scale and critical mass to keep it ahead of its rivals, with Wells Fargo analysts led by Ken Gawrelski calling it “a dis- ruptive force in C2C com- merce” in Western Europe. The company, valued at more than $9 billion during a secondary share sale this year, counts EQT, Black- Rock, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and Schroders
At the time, marital stat- us was not a protected char- acteristic in the civil rights act, but it became so when the Legislature amended the law in 2005 and explicitly banned marital status dis- crimination — another issue debated by the jurists in coming to their differing conclusions. Gabriel Sanchez, a spokesperson for Lara, stressed that the decision will not affect current rates since it left existing regula- tions in place. “No one will be seeing higher or lower premiums for their automobile policies based on this ruling,” said Sanchez, who noted several previous commissioners didn’t change the regula- tion. “The ruling also reaffirms the insurance commission-

Although no decision has been made on advisors, tim- ing or listing venue, Vinted has been preparing for it for quite some time, said Car- olina Brochado, a partner at the Swedish private equity firm EQT who sits on the platform’s board. For now, however, the company’s management remains fo- cused on expanding the business rather than rush- ing to market, she said. Plantenga’s more imme- diate challenge is cracking the U.S. market. “In the mid- dle of a U.S. expansion, you’re not going to IPO — that’s nuts,” he said The U.S. push pits Vinted against established rivals in- cluding the industry’s “origi- nal gangster” EBay, which this year bought fashion platform Depop for about $1.2 billion to strengthen its secondhand offering; Face- book Marketplace; Posh- mark; and ThredUp. “Whether we will be able to actually compete and win in that market is a very big

The 1996 regulations also allowed a person’s gender to be considered in setting auto premiums, but then-Insur- ance Commissioner Dave Jones eliminated it as an op- tional rating factor in 2019. “Banning gender rating was a big fight and big first step to stop discrimination. Eliminating marital status rating is a logical next step and ought to be banned as well,” he said in a statement to The Times.

Wells Fargo analysts covering EBay said in their July note that Vinted’s U.S. daily ac- tive users jumped more than sixfold in the second quarter from a year earlier following its January market entry. The global appetite for resale fashion has spawned a slew of players. They in- clude platforms such as Japan’s Mercari; the U.K.’s Hardly Ever Worn It and De- pop; Vestiaire Collective in France; and the RealReal in the U.S., among several oth- ers. Many have struggled to translate demand into con- sistent profitability. Vesti- aire Collective expects to post its first annual profit in 2026, more than 15 years af- ter it was created, while in Asia — one of the fastest- growing regions — plat- forms such as Alibaba- backed Idle Fish, Poizon, Mercari and Kream are scal- ing rapidly. Access to inventory — ei- ther through brands looking to offload excess supplies or individuals looking to make a buck from items they no longer wear — is one of the biggest hurdles for the plat- forms. After taking over in 2016, Vinted’s Plantenga over- hauled the company’s busi- ness model, most notably by removing seller fees and charging buyers instead. The changes attracted more inventory, improved marketplace liquidity and laid the foundation for prof- itability, allowing Vinted to invest heavily in its infra- structure that investors now view as its key competitive advantage. Vinted processed more than $12 billion of merchan- dise in 2025, up 47% from a year earlier, while revenue rose 38% to over $1.2 billion. Net profit fell 19% to about $71 billion as it accelerated investment in Germany and in Vinted Go, its logistics business. That drop didn’t stop investors from valuing the company at over $9 bil- lion this year, up from $5.4
In 1996, 58% of adults were married, with the medi- an age at marriage for men at 27.1 and for women at 24.8. By 2025, only 51% of adults were married, with the medi- an age at marriage rising to 30.8 for men and 28.4 for women, said DePaulo, now academically affiliated with UC Santa Barbara. “Practices that discrimi- nate against people who are not married are increasingly out of step with how we live now,” she said. “They are dis- advantaging nearly half of the adult population.” The Lara lawsuit, filed in 2022, similarly notes those societal changes, while al- leging Black and Latino peo- ple are disproportionately affected by the marital stat- us regulation because they marry at lower rates.

billion in 2024. Sweden’s EQT, which first invested in Vinted in 2021 and remains one of its largest shareholders, argues the company’s competitive advantage now extends well beyond secondhand fash- ion. Brochado says the com- pany increasingly resembles scaled marketplace compa- nies like Airbnb, Uber and MercadoLibre because of its network effects, technology infrastructure and expand- ing ecosystem. “Vinted has the potential to become the Amazon of secondhand,” she said. The company has contin- ued expanding across Eu- rope and entered new prod- uct categories, including electronics, books and toys. Through Vinted Go, it op- erates more than 18,000 pickup and drop-off points across Europe, including lockers and designated shops, while Vinted Pay ex- tends its reach into the pay- ments ecosystem. Vinted’s model is simple: Selling on the platform is free for the seller, who gets to keep 100% of the listed price. Sellers simply take photos of the items they want to sell, add a description, set the price and publish the listing on the app. When someone purchases an item, Vinted charges the buyer a small fee and provides the seller with a prepaid shipping label. The seller then packs the item and drops it off at a lo- cal shipping point. Once the buyer acknowledges receipt, Vinted releases the money into the seller’s virtual wal- let. Erika Orlovskiene, a Vil- nius-based mother of two, has used Vinted for nearly a decade to buy and sell every- thing from children’s clothes and dresses to books and a fish tank. “Kids outgrow clothes so fast — it piles up quickly, and what do you do with clothes that are barely worn?” she said, estimating that she had saved “thousands of eu- ros” over the years. “It’s not only about saving, it’s also about sustainability.”

Some 86% of the more than 1,000 U.S. financial services executives sur- veyed by consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP say they think AI train- ing is more valuable than an MBA for many new hires, re- flecting the urgency compa- nies face in adopting the technology effectively. The survey, released Monday, showed companies are willing to pay accord- ingly: 91% of executives said they’re increasing compen- sation for employees with AI skills. “There is a clear need for people that understand not just what an agent is, but how do you build them?

startup receives $1 billion in funding

billion funding round for El Segundo-based Valar Atom- ics Inc. that the nuclear startup says will help it shift from demonstrating small reactors to producing them in volume. The transaction values Valar at $6 billion, including the money being invested. The nuclear company has also lined up a $200-million credit facility, according to a statement Monday. Atreides Management, Point72 and Snowpoint Ven- tures also participated in the Series B financing and Shaun Maguire, a Sequoia partner, will join Valar’s board, according to a state- ment Monday. The nuclear company has also lined up a $200-mil- lion credit facility. Valar is developing next- generation nuclear plants that would be produced in factories and then delivered to provide power for data centers, industrial sites or other facilities. These so-called small modular reactors are aimed at reducing costs and speed- ing deployment in an indus- try that’s known for over-

AI use cases they’ve identi- fied. Whether an MBA is worth the investment has long been the subject of de- bate, particularly as the typical cost of the degree nears $300,000. As tuitions rise, prospective students are increasingly scrutinizing what they’ll get in return. Universities, meanwhile, have spotted an opportuni- ty. Prestigious business schools at Harvard Uni- versity, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT are offering a growing list of AI- themed executive education courses that are shorter and cheaper than a degree pro- gram and offer certificates. At MIT, for example, stu- dents can take a five-day course called “Leading the AI-Driven Organization” for about $13,000. Growing demand for AI- savvy workers has led some companies, including soft- ware makers International Business Machines Corp., Shopify Inc. and Cloudflare Inc., to ramp up entry-level hiring, betting that recent Gen Z graduates will be able to do more with AI tools than existing employees.

ects. The idea is gaining traction, but there are none in service outside of China and Russia. “AI is building very quickly. We need a lot of power in every direction,” Isaiah Taylor, Valar’s chief executive officer, said on Bloomberg TV. “This is really about scale for us. This is the firepower that we need to go and build.” Valar is one of four com- panies that have achieved a key technical milestone this year for new reactors, start- ing a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction that releases a steady stream of energy. Valar went beyond that in July, by also using that fis- sion reaction to produce enough electricity to power an Nvidia Corp. AI chip and host a website. The two com- panies are planning a 30- megawatt AI facility in Utah. The funding is expected to help Valar accelerate its manufacturing plans, Tay- lor said. “We want to prove pace of production,” he said. “We want to go from building one reactor in a year, to six months, to once a month and then even faster.”

Stocks near record as oil prices fall
rallied to the edge of its all- time high on Monday after easing oil prices helped calm Wall Street’s worries that in- flation could get even worse. The S&P 500 jumped 1.5% and is just 0.1% below its record set earlier this sum- mer. It was coming off a fre- netic July, where it swung up and down as oil prices shot higher because of the war with Iran, before ultimately ending the month just about where it started. The Dow Jones industrial average, which measures a narrower slice of the U.S. stock market, climbed 693 points, or 1.3%, to an all-time high, while the Nasdaq com- posite leaped 2.1%. Stocks got a lift as the price for a barrel of Brent crude sank 4.7% to $83.77. It dropped after President Trump said over the week- end that he decided to hold off on new strikes against Iran at the urging of allies in the region. Brent’s price careened between $72 and $102 last month as worries rose and fell about when the war with Iran would allow oil tankers to freely exit the Persian Gulf again to deliver crude to cus- tomers worldwide. The latest acquiescence by Trump helped to ease worries about the global flow of crude, and Treasury yields correspondingly fell in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury sank to 4.68% from 4.75% late Friday. But it re- mains well above its 3.97% level from before the war with Iran. Higher yields threaten to undercut prices for stocks and other investments, while slowing the economy by making borrowing more expensive for U.S. house- holds and businesses. The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate has already leaped to its highest level in a year. Monday’s ease in oil prices helped airlines and other companies with big fuel bills lead the market. United Airlines flew 5.8% higher, while American Air- lines climbed 5%. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings steamed 6.6% higher. Boeing jumped 8% after U.S. regulators certified its 737 MAX-7 planes, clearing them for commercial serv- ice. Tyson Foods rose 2.8% af- ter the meat company re- ported a slightly stronger

It joined a lengthening list of big U.S. companies to deliver a bigger profit for the spring than analysts ex- pected. That’s imperative for Wall Street because stock prices tend to follow the path of corporate earnings over the long term, and wor- ries were rising that U.S. stock prices may have broadly already shot too high.

GLP-1s is leaving behind minorities
significantly fewer prescriptions for the powerful drugs
few years ago, I inter- viewed a Black teen as part of a study on the health of Gen Z. What this ninth-grader from an inner-city community was most passionate about surprised me. “In eighth grade, lunch used to be something tasty; I could eat it,” she told me. “Here we go now: 65% reduced fat. Barely any seasoning. I’m like, ‘What is this crap?’” She was talking about the heal- thy meals program being rolled out in California K-12 schools like hers as part of the Obama admin- istration’s effort to tame the na- tion’s childhood obesity epidemic. I suggested to her that the gov- ernment’s lunch initiative — which to be fair was also deeply disliked by a number of adults, namely Re- publicans in Congress — might help teens she knew lose weight or stave off diabetes. She wasn’t hav- ing it. “When they get home,” she said of her peers, “they’re going to eat a thousand bags of hot Chee- tos.” Roughly 30% of Los Angeles Unified School District students are overweight or obese, uncannily mirroring the rate among Los An- geles County adults. Black and Latino individuals are dispropor- tionately represented in each group, making the city ground zero for this persistent, racialized epi- demic. And by 2030, a staggering 41.5% of California adults, a good portion of whom will be Black and Latino members of Gen Z, are ex- pected to be obese.

he article by Eric Roston and Hayley Warren is an excellent summary of some of the aspects of climate change that directly affect those of us in the U.S. and Europe. The piece could have covered another page by going into the damage acidification and heating are inflicting on life in the ocean, the effects on the billions of people living in the equatorial band across South America, Africa and Asia, and the impact on our societ- ies as potentially hundreds of millions of climate refugees move because their homes are unlivable. We are now at a place where we have to simultaneously replace our fossil fuel system with massive amounts of clean energy and add resilience to our infrastructure and institu- tions to prepare for the worst. The world is moving forward, but sadly, U.S. politics have been poisoned by the fossil fuel industries. Instead of leading the world’s efforts to under- stand and to transition, we are ham-handedly trying to reverse course and “drill baby, drill.” As climate scientists say, “every tenth of a degree matters.” Moving fast matters. We need to sweep the current crop of science deniers from power in our government and re- place them with representatives who will work to effectively and efficiently accelerate the transition to cheap, clean energy. We also, simultaneously, need to support science so we can understand what’s coming and adapt to the new, hotter world that we have made to better protect people against the heat, floods, fires, disease and price shocks that come as a result.

In America, obesity rates are consistently higher among racial minorities relative to white popu- lations. The same pattern exists for type 2 diabetes, with nonwhite individuals having a higher burden of the complex disease. Dispropor- tionately lower levels of access to healthy, affordable foods and lim- ited access to infrastructure and amenities that promote physical activity serve as the primary cul- prits. The downstream effects, a lower quality of life and a higher likelihood of premature death, are grave. GLP-1s, the seemingly magic drugs capable of dramatically re- ducing diabetes and obesity-re- lated issues, seem to be an obvious — or at least the most efficient — solution to this preventable public health crisis. But studies consis- tently show that, despite their ele- vated need, racial minorities re- ceive significantly fewer prescriptions for GLP-1s. And it’s not necessarily from a lack of trying on the part of Big Pharma, an industry eager to ex- pand its customer base. In fact, in the last few years, Big Pharma and its allies have worked hard to bring minority customers into the GLP-1 fold. In 2021, Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, sponsored a panel on obesity at a conference held by the powerful Congressional Black Caucus. Last year, the mammoth pharmaceu- tical company organized a similar panel for the influential National

THE TENNIS STAR Serena Williams used GLP-1s to manage her postpartum weight gain.
Assn. of Hispanic Nurses. Oprah Winfrey, whose battles with weight loss are well-docu- mented, hosted a highly publicized ABC special on GLP-1sin 2024. The billionaire media personality for- merly served as a board member and spokesperson for Weight Watchers, which now offers a sub- scription-based program provid- ing customers with access to vari- ous GLP-1s. Winfrey later dis- cussed in an interview the pro- found ways the drugs helped her quiet the “food noise” around her. And in 2025, telehealth company Ro, which has its own GLP-1 distri- bution service, unveiled a partner- ship with tennis megastar Serena Williams, who used GLP-1s to man- age her postpartum weight gain. A host of well-known Black and Latino social media influencers have also served as boosters for GLP-1s (and, by extension, Big Pharma’s outreach efforts). The lower adoption of GLP-1s by racial minorities has been, ironi- cally, largely of Big Pharma’s mak- ing. Racial minorities frequently aren’t included in the formative clinical trial testing phase in which drugs are optimized to prospective patients’ biological and cultural nuances. The dearth of participation is both a function of researchers’ historically soft inter- est in including minorities in stud- ies and minorities’ own distrust and fears about participating.

Re “Drive-through eateries are hitting roadblocks,” July 26
Kudos to Culver City for choosing quality of life over gastronomic convenience. In 1982, the city of San Luis Obispo passed an ordinance banning drive- through restaurants to reduce air pollution from idling cars, prevent traffic congestion and promote a walkable, pedestrian- friendly community. City planners sought to discourage car-centric designs and create friendly spaces where people step out of their vehicles, go inside the businesses and interact with each other. For the past 40-plus years, this ordinance has achieved its goals without an impact on local commerce while pro- moting community har- mony. Ron Yukelson San Luis Obispo

Busy drive-through businesses do cause con- cern. The In-N-Out in Sher- man Oaks is very popular and its drive-through lanes are typically backed out into the street. The cars block the Ventura Boulevard entrance and even one section of the parking lot. The cars sit there idling for fairly long periods of time.
al improvements in minorities’ representation in clinical studies, including those for GLP-1s. A review of clinical trials conducted with GLP-1s found that Black and Latino people were significantly underrepresented relative to white people. There’s also the stingy issue of price. Totaling an average of nearly $7,000 annually, the costs of GLP-1s are simply untenable for the many racial minorities who lack the in- come or premium insurance needed to cover the expenses. In- deed, a number of private and pub- lic insurers are still only marginally covering the costs of GLP-1s, if at all. Medicaid coverage for GLP-1s is currently optional for states. Only 13 currently cover GLP-1s for obesi- ty treatment , and that largely doesn’t include states with large racial minority populations deal- ing with obesity like Florida and Texas. Despite outcry, Medi-Cal severed coverage of GLP-1s for weight loss earlier this year as part of a broader budget-trimming ef- fort in California. GLP-1 coverage through Medicare, which histori- cally has been hostile to covering weight loss drugs, is even more lim- ited. However, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which administers Medicare, be- gan a pilot program in July to pro- vide coverage to some Medicare beneficiaries. This program may provide a path for lowering GLP-1s’ steep financial burden for low-in- come minorities, but even if it’s

Re “Summer crowds are flooding Yosemite,” July 26
As I was grabbing my Yosemite baseball cap on the way out the door, I was reminded to look over the recent article about the crowding in Yosemite. The first thing that hit me re- garding the photo of the crowd on the Mist Trail was how ridiculous it was. I’ve been on that trail several times and it’s barely wide enough for one person to traverse, let alone a crowd of hikers going up and down. I’m one of the fortunate ones who has been to Yo- semite more times than I can remember, starting in the early ‘60s when my mom and dad would pile us kids in the back of our Ford station wagon in the morn- ing to head to the park. Even back then, parking was a problem, especially since there was no shuttle service. My (now late) wife and I continued the tradition with our family, and I can attest to larger crowds over the years. We usually stayed at Camp Curry and learned long ago to find the best parking spot and then leave our car there, using the shuttle (and one time our bicycles) to travel around the valley floor. While it may be a good thing that more people visit

successful, other barriers exist to racially equitable uptake. For one, despite their main- streaming, GLP-1s still haven’t en- tirely shed their image as an ame- nity for white elites and at odds with the body positivity movement . Years of social conditioning around the white female beauty standard — one exalting thinness —may push some racial minorities to outright reject GLP-1s and the bodily gentrification the drugs seem to facilitate. Relatedly, some believe GLP-1s are a shameful shortcut, misaligned with the grit we traditionally associate with “real” fitness. Incidentally, though, a 2024 Pew poll found that 70% of Black people and 68% of white peo- ple feel that willpower alone is usu- ally not enough to lose weight and keep it off. I asked that Black teen a few years ago what a potential answer to the obesity epidemic could be, and she was clear: “If you’re going to have somebody eat healthy, pair it with exercising. Or it ain’t doing nothing.” GLP-1s’ success largely upends such conventional wisdom. That these drugs can be an all-in-one so- lution is becoming increasingly ob- vious, even to naysayers. Whether we should allow them to be is a very different — and very racialized — question.

Re “Refuges won’t protect the animals,” Opinion Voices, July 23
This commentary was a righteous objection to a proposed expansion of hunting within the National Wildlife Refuge System by transitioning 92 million acres from the status of refuge to shooting gallery. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s proposal reflects the truly breathtaking avarice of the Trump ad- ministration. For these ravagers of wildlands al- ready threatened by devel- opment, climate change and, by implication, their destruction by monetiza- tion, more is always more. The proposal was posted by the feds in late May, and as the writer noted, “is currently under public- comment review.” Public comments were allowed only for 30 days. They were closed as of June 27. Too bad for Los Angeles Times readers newly in- formed of this heartless land larceny that it’s too late to register their feelings along with the 19,680 com- ments tallied before the deadline.

ecently, Eva Amurri, the daughter of actor Susan Sarandon, shared in an Instagram video that as a mom in her 40s one thing she’d never do is let her daughter grow up too fast. “I don’t want her to rush through her childhood,” Amurri said, ”to act older than her years, live up to cultural expectations or be parentified.” Parentification is a role-reversal that happens when “a child takes on inappropriate age re- lated tasks that are typically re- sponsibilities for adults,” says Dr. Kate Cummins, a Los Angeles- based licensed clinical psycholo- gist. As a middle-aged mom to a teenager, I agree. I want my daugh- ter to learn independence and build resilience, but I also want her to have limits on what she’s respon- sible for in childhood. I want to pro- tect her from suffering the same consequences I did, because at her age I was barely surviving as a par- entified child. When I was 13, my mother be- came incapacitated after suffering a sudden traumatic brain injury at work. The day of the accident, I thought she was going to die and leave me all alone. In a matter of hours, I went from being a regular kid to being my mother’s primary caregiver. Every day, I helped her with ac- tivities of daily living like dressing, eating, walking and paying the bills, a form of instrumental parentification. I was her entire support system, known as emo- tional parentification. The acci- dent changed the trajectory of both of our lives in an instant. Unfortunately, this isn’t uncom- mon. Intentional or unintentional parentification often occurs in sin- gle-parent households, among eld- est daughters and in high-risk situations, like when parents are addicts, chronically ill or disabled. Cultural expectations also contrib- ute to pressure on girls, particu- larly in minority groups, among Af- rican Americans and Latinos, con- ditioning them to do household tasks and become caretakers. According to a report from the American Assn. of Caregiving Youthand the National Alliance for Caregiving with American Assn. of Retired Persons, approximately 5.4 million children are currently care- giving for family members of all ages in the U.S. Many of these caregiving youth experience a significant role rever- sal that places a heavy burden on them academically, physically and emotionally. According to a 2005 study from the National Alliance

he last at bat for my mom, Helen Callaghan, in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was in 1949. She was a speedy center field- er playing for the Kenosha Com- ets, and sports writers of the ’40s called her the “Feminine Ted Williams.” On Saturday, in the debut of the Women’s Pro Baseball League, I watched a new generation of pio- neers pick up where the original league left off more than 70 years ago. The Los Angeles Queens took on the New York Heights in the opening game, in Springfield, Ill. The Queens — named after Lizzie Murphy, who played against male professional ballplayers in the 1920s and called herself the “Queen of Baseball” — won 10 to 8 with a thrilling comeback in the last in- ning. Two other teams complete the league: the Boston Hunters and the San Francisco Firebells. Maggie Foxx, a 20-year-old out- fielder for the Queens, told me be- fore the game that playing pro ball felt surreal. “It’s the culmination of everything I’ve worked towards, and this league will have a tremen- dous impact on younger girls be- cause we are role models that can inspire them,” she said. On Sat- urday, Foxx drove in two runs in her first professional at bat. Many presidents and pundits have long admonished athletes to leave politics at the locker room door — “Just dribble” or “play baseball and keep your mouth shut” have been common refrains. The desire for sports to be a respite from a socially polarized world is understandable, but in the case of women’s athletics, we should not ignore the fact that the Women’s Pro Baseball League exists be- cause of a decades-long political struggle that continues. Growing up, I witnessed the birth of Title IX, the federal civil rights law signed by President

for Caregiving in collaboration with the United Hospital Fund, ap- proximately 58% of the work of caregiving youth includes at least one activity of daily living. This re- port says these tasks typically in- clude bathing, getting in and out of beds and chairs, toileting and feed- ing. These activities and others such as managing and administer- ing medications take time away from learning and just being a kid for at least 49% of caregiving youth. Unfortunately, there are a lack of adequate systems in place in the U.S. to identify and support these young people. Research shows caregiving youth often experience higher rates of anxiety and depres- sion and are at risk for substance use, per a systematic review from the Lancet. During the several years I was my mother’s caregiver, I lived in a chronic hypervigilant state, feeling
Nixon in 1972. The law said that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be ex- cluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be sub- jected to discrimination under any education program or activity re- ceiving Federal financial assist- ance.” The law was bolstered by a thriving feminist movement and a broader recognition that tens of thousands of female athletes were just waiting for the opportunity to join a team. Some school districts and col- leges embraced the law enthusias- tically while others dragged their feet. Thousands of women’s teams were formed and new facilities were built to accommodate the girls who flocked into competitive sports. Girls showed they loved competition as much as boys did. Justine Siegal, the commis- sioner of the Women’s Pro Baseball League, was one of those young women. “I don’t know what I would be without Title IX,” she said. “Sports are my whole life, and Title IX forced institutions to create more opportunities for girls to play, and I’m filled with gratitude about that.” According to a progress report published by the Women’s Sports Foundation, a nonprofit founded by tennis champion Billie Jean King, only 7% of the high school athletes playing a varsity sport in 1972 were female. Over the next 10 years, there was a 500% increase in female participation in high school sports rising to 1,780,000 participa- nts during the 1982-83 year, according to the National Federa- tion of State High School Assns. The same report shows that dur- ing the 2024-25 academic year, the number of girls on high school sports teams had risen to over 3.5 million nationwide, 43% of the to- tal participants. Some of those girls recently graduated high school and are now paid to play baseball. Foxx started

It seemed easier to numb my- self and disappear from my life than to face my feelings. “When a parent turns to their child for emotional support, they must hold the burden of their par- ents’ emotions while being unable to change their circumstance,” ex- plained Amber Trejo, a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Indianapolis. Studies show that prolonged parentification can have adverse effects on the child, affecting their sleep, social skills, academic per- formance and school attendance. It can also affect whether the child completes high school. As I reached early adulthood, I sought approval and love by be-

At Brown, she took a class in the history of Ti- tle IX. “History is understanding that past and how it has shaped the present,” Foxx reflected. Despite all of the progress in women’s sports, with fans filling college and professional basket- ball arenas to watch women play, four women’s soccer World Cup championships for the U.S. and girls flag football exploding in Cali- fornia high schools, there are strong conservative forces at- tempting to turn back the clock. In a recent article published by the conservative Heritage Foun- dation, researcher Scott Yenor ar- gues that Title IX is a failed experi- ment in “feminist social engineer- ing” that is designed to erase “gen- uine differences between the sexes” that are a product of human nature. This sinister plot, Yenor announces, has produced women who are “aggressive, assertive, dominant” and less inclined toward motherhood. Legal battles against Title IX could undermine the proportion- ality standard that has anchored compliance for decades: Athletic opportunities should roughly

It wasn’t until I reached my late 20s, when my anxiety be- came debilitating, that I finally got help with therapy. It helped me understand the long-term physical and emotional toll my role as a young caregiver had taken on me. Looking back now, I realize how lucky I am that I survived it all. No child should have to give up their youth like I did. Yet, there are still millions of kids being forced into caregiving roles, and this issue is only ex- pected to get worse. With new Med- icaid work requirements already taking effect, patients will be left without critical in-home nursing and will rely on younger family members for care. In addition, the

Title IX attorney Linda Cor- reia, who recently settled a dis- crimination case at Christopher Newport University in Virginia, agrees that significant progress has been made, but the battle over interpreting and implementing Ti- tle IX is ongoing. “The vast major- ity of people may have embraced female participation in team sports, but there are places in the country where it’s still very much an uphill battle,” she said. “Often schools that are struggling with limited resources pit one group against the other and make a deci- sion not to provide resources to women’s athletics.” Yenor wants regulatory changes that would make dance, yoga and exercise classes qualify as meeting the athletic opportuni- ty requirements of Title IX. Backed by well-funded conserva- tive legal organizations, the long- term litigation strategy is to engi- neer a test case that reaches a sym- pathetic Supreme Court that could dismantle Title IX’s propor- tionality standard.

forthcoming cuts from the Big Beautiful Bill Act expected this Oc- tober will only worsen this growing crisis. While there is some support for caregiving youth available in states including Florida, Rhode Island, Colorado and California from non- profits such as the American Assn. of Caregiving Youth, the Caregiver Action Network and Hope Loves Company, there is still a lot of work to be done. Currently, no national program exists to support caregiving youth. Some of the ways we can begin to repair this issue include educating school staff, healthcare providers and adults to identify these chil- dren and offer them academic and mental health services along with funding for home-based care pro- grams throughout our country. When the kids who are parenti- fied don’t get the help they need, the situation can become dire, ex- plained Los Angeles-based li- censed marriage and family ther- apist Melissa Garner Lee. “They may end up in abusive relation- ships, become institutionalized or worse — become suicidal,” she said. Research from a 2025 study also found rates of self-harm and sui- cide are higher among young care- givers, especially girls, compared with non-caregivers. For parents like me, who do have a choice on how they raise their kids, especially our daugh- ters, change starts with us. Garner Lee suggests “emotionally tracking and validating your children” to make sure their responsibilities are age appropriate. She also recom- mends “encouraging and support- ing them to find their own interests, which will lead to an identity they have created.” Dr. Cummins add- ed, “it’s an opportunity to re-parent yourself through the lens of how you wanted your childhood to be.” I recognize I’m lucky to have gotten help when I did. I know that I’m also fortunate to be able to choose how I parent my daughter, when so many others still can’t. We owe it to all children, espe- cially to our daughters, to take the pressure off of them to grow up too soon. We also need more adequate systems in place so kids are no longer expected to become care- givers, and are no longer parenti- fied. Every child and every girl de- serves the chance to act their age, and maintain their agency and their innocence, until they are truly ready to grow up.

“This is a dream come true. Ever since our league folded in 1954, I’ve been waiting for this day,” she said. “These players are wonderful, but they have to keep their head on straight and keep this league going because the good ol’ boys want women to play softball not base- ball,” she added. “And I don’t think there is going to be any crying in baseball on the field today.” My mom passed away in 1992, the same year the movie about her life, “A League of Their Own,” ap- peared in theaters. She wasn’t a self-described feminist or any kind of political radical, but she came to understand the purposes and goals of the fight for women’s rights. She understood that social rights that took decades to win could be taken away a lot quicker. Siegal, the new league’s com- missioner, says Women’s Pro Base- ball is already planning for next season, but it’s not guaranteed. The league will need a continuing pipeline of athletes — as Title IX has created. “I know it’s a cliché,” said Foxx, the Queens outfielder, “but all we want as women ballplayers is a league of our own.”

As a result of the county’s negligence, the lawsuit says, Emmanuel died and his sis- ter continued to suffer phys- ical abuse and neglect by their parents, Jake and Re- becca Haro of Cabazon. The girl was not named in the fil- ing because of privacy con- cerns. “Our purpose in bringing this case is to seek justice for our 3-year-old client, but also to shine a light on a tragic failure by the Riv- erside Department of Public Social Services to protect a

with murder in Chino Hills kidnap case
Jianquan Bo, 66, helped his brother with a fatal abduction.
By Ruben Vives and Terry Castleman
The surviving suspect from an abduction in Chino Hills last week that ended with deputies killing his ac- complice, moments after the victim had been executed, is being charged with murder, San Bernardino County prosecutors announced Monday. Jianquan Bo, 66, who prosecutors say helped his brother kidnap the victim, was charged with the murder of 60-year-old Shukur Aikebaer, a father of three daughters and former busi- ness associate of Bo’s older brother. The charge was en- hanced with a special cir- cumstance because Aike- baer died during the com- mission of a kidnapping, San Bernardino County Dist. Atty. Jason Anderson said. At a news conference Monday morning in Chino Hills, Anderson said Bo, who has a prior criminal convic- tion, was charged because he knew the plan and participa- ted in the deadly plot. Authorities allege that on Wednesday night, Bo and his older brother, Zhengfeng, drove more than 30 miles from their Irvine home to the 2100 block of Monteverde Drive in Chino Hills, where

In a requirement that is the first of its kind in the country, some 600 commer- cial and industrial proper- ties in the Los Angeles area will have to clean up the wa- ter that runs off their park- ing lots or pay to have it cleaned up. The Los Angeles Re- gional Water Quality Con- trol Board voted to require shopping centers, ware- houses, private hospitals and office complexes whose properties drain into the Dominguez and Los Cerri- tos channels to get stormwa- ter permits. The changeis intended to hold commercial, industrial and institutional property owners accountable for the pollution their sites send flowing into drains, said
they shot Aikebaer and stuffed him into the trunk of their silver Nissan Altima. “This was a calculated act of violence,” said San Ber- nardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus. The brothers then led deputies on a high-speed chase for more than a mile before stopping in the 2400 block of Wandering Ridge Drive, according to the Sher- iff’s Department. Dicus said deputies were not aware that anyone was in the trunk of the car during the traffic stop. “Normally, law enforce- ment officers order people out of the car,” Dicus said, but Jianquan Bo got out of the car, drawing the focus of the deputies who struggled to communicate through a language barrier. It was dur- ing this confusion that Zhengfeng Bo, 67, allegedly exited the vehicle and shot the victim before being killed by gunfire from the deputies. Anderson said the depu- ties fired only after Zhengfeng Bo shot the vic- tim inside the trunk. Be- cause the act that prompted the deputies to open fire was committed solely by the de- ceased suspect, Jianquan Bo could not be charged in con- nection with his brother’s death. “We had to dust off our law books for this one,” An- derson said.

He then casually walks back and ap- pears to point inside the trunk before he falls to the ground. Authorities say Bo shot Aikebaer, who was in the trunk, before deputies opened fire and killed him. Bo and Aikebaer were pronounced dead at the scene. Jianquan Bo, who was the passenger, was not injured and was taken into custody. A preliminary investiga- tion by homicide detectives with the Sheriff’s Depart- ment determined that Aike- baer was home with his fam- ily when there was a power outage, prompting him to go outside, where he was con- fronted by the two brothers.

Public records list Bo as chief executive and Aikebaer as chief financial officer and secretary. Chen said Bo, Panshi and another associate had lent more than $2 million to the developers of an apartment complex, prompting law- suits over unpaid debts and control of the property. On July 27, Chen filed an- other claim against the de- velopers, the Madison Col- lection, seeking to oust its property managers and transfer control to Panshi. A spokesperson for the company could not immedi-

ately be reached for com- ment. The Madison Collection had been stonewalling these efforts for months, according to the lawsuit, refusing to turn over books and bank ac- counts. Chen said Aikebaer had served as the “middleman” between Panshi and the de- velopers, and until the day of the shooting, he believed the two men had a good relation- ship. There was nothing “ad- versarial” about it, he said. “But obviously, some- thing happened,” he said. “Maybe some information came to light that prompted [Bo] to take this action.”

shaken baby syndrome and multiple rib fractures, among other injuries, ac- cording to the complaint. As a result, she was rendered quadriplegic and blind. The Riverside County Juvenile Court sub- sequently terminated Jake and Vanessa Haro’s paren- tal rights to their three chil- dren. Jake was arrested and later convicted of felony will- ful child cruelty. In July 2023, he went on to have Emmanuel’s older sister with his new wife, Re- becca. The person who filed the June 2024 hotline report noted that law enforcement had recently found a gun in Rebecca’s purse, which vio- lated the terms of Jake’s pro- bation. Though the report re- quired a response within 10 days, it took 18 days until a social worker visited the home, according to the com- plaint. “There should have been no question that Jake Haro was a very dangerous man and that [Emmanuel’s sis- ter] needed all the resources of child protective services,” the complaint says. “In- stead, DPSS performed a perfunctory and grossly in- adequate investigation.” The social worker alleg- edly did not raise questions when Jake lied about the na- ture of his criminal record, or note any safety threats being present in the home, even though law enforce- ment had recently discov- ered an illegal gun that was “fully accessible to the chil- dren,” the complaint al- leges. The lawsuit further al- leges that the social worker answered numerous ques- tions incorrectly on the risk assessment form. For exam- ple, she recorded zero prior abuse investigations when records showed there were at least two — one of which involved the near-death of an infant and a felony con- viction. She also recorded that Jake had never phys- ically injured a child, the

unleashes flooding, this time in Beverly Grove
Vicente Boulevard follows several other water main breaks.
By Caroline Petrow-Cohen
A burst pipe in Beverly Grove sent water flowing down the street on Sunday morning, threatening parked vehicles and forcing some water services in the area to be shut off. Crews from the Los An- geles Department of Water and Power responded to a broken pipe around 6 a.m. near the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Lin- denhurst Avenue. Flooding was first reported at 4:48 a.m. San Vicente Boulevard was closed between Lin- denhurst and Orlando ave-
lawsuit alleges. As a result, the house- hold was given a “low risk” score of future abuse and the county was not required to open a case, which would have led to active monitor- ing of the family and a pos- sible court order to remove children from the home. A few months later, in December 2024, Emmanuel was born and Jake went on to physically abuse both children, according to the complaint and law enforce- ment officials. Evidence presented in the criminal case against Jake and Rebecca Haro showed that Emmanuel ex- hibited signs of head trauma and brain damage, was unable to completely open his eyelids and had an inability to sit or support his own head. He died as a result of his injuries in August 2025, au- thorities say. His parents initially attempted to cover up his death by falsely claiming he had been kid- napped. His body was never found. Jake Haro was sentenced to 25 years to life in Novem- ber after pleading guilty to second-degree murder, as- sault of a child under age 8 and false reporting of a crime to police. Rebecca Haro was sentenced to 12 years and eight months in prison in May after pleading guilty to felony child abuse causing great bodily injury to a child under 5 with an en- hancement allegation of in- voluntary manslaughter. Booth said that when the Department of Public So- cial Services was called to Jake Haro’s home in 2024 and learned he had a new baby, it should have realized there was a “disaster wait- ing to happen,” but did nothing. “As a result, that baby and her brother Emmanuel (born later in 2024) were subjected to physical abuse by Jake, and Emmanuel was eventually killed,” he said. “This was a tragedy that was preventable.”

nues. LADWP did not disclose the cause of the burst in the 8-inch cast-iron pipe. The flooding follows sev- eral other burst pipes in the Los Angeles area in recent weeks. On July 16, a major water main break in West Hollywood forced the clo- sure of a section of Sunset Boulevard and displaced some residents. Sunset Boulevard was reopened overnight on July 24. LADWP said it is accel- erating the full replacement of the affected trunk line, a project that was originally scheduled for 2031. Two other ruptured pipes in Venice and Holly- wood last month have also been repaired, The Times previously reported. In 2019, LADWP said roughly 29% of the city’s pipes were more than 80 years old, nearing their typical 100-year lifespan.

A federal judge has dis- missed a bankruptcy case filed by the Greater Los An- geles Zoo Assn., handing the city of Los Angeles another victory in its legal battle with its former fundraising part- ner over a $50-million en- dowment that was raised for the zoo. The ruling came after the Los Angeles city attorney’s office argued that GLAZA had filed for Chapter 11 bank- ruptcy to delay the city’s law- suit over control of the en- dowment, which funds much of the zoo’s special projects, capital improve- ments and exhibit construc- tion. The city sued GLAZA — its partner for more than half a century — in 2024, ac- cusing the organization of breach of contract over fundraising issues, refusing to transfer zoo data and claiming exclusive control over the zoo funds, among other issues. Los Angeles owns and operates the zoo and part- nered with GLAZA in 1963 to manage fundraising, special events and other services. In June, the city secured a preliminary injunction bar- ring GLAZA from retaining or distributing the endow- ment after its operating agreement with the zoo ex- pired last year. “We are pleased that the

Not long after Yvette Ve- lasco, an environmental health specialist for the County of San Bernardino, was killed in a 2015 terrorist attack at her office holiday party, a chef at a local coun- try club gave her father a treasured token of her work. It was a rating card from an inspection she completed at the club kitchen. It bore her signature. “He said he liked her a lot,” her father, Robert Ve- lasco, said. “She was very personable. But she was very professional. She took her job very seriously.” Velasco spoke of the chef and of his 27-year-old daugh- ter’s love for her work as part of a new documentary pro- duced by the county a dec- ade after the mass shooting at the Inland Regional Cen- ter in San Bernardino on Dec. 2, 2015. Fourteen people, mostly county employees, died in the attack. The 37-minute film, called “We Remember,” features families of the victims, sur- vivors and first responders. It was released last month on YouTube and is posted on the county’s website. For many families and survivors, memories of the attack are still so painful that they have avoided pub-

Bankruptcy Court recog- nized GLAZA’s bankruptcy filing as yet another bad- faith attempt to derail the ongoing litigation for its own benefit,” City Atty. Hydee Feldstein Soto said in a statement. A spokesperson for GLAZA could not immedi- ately be reached for com- ment, but the organization had previously told The Times that it owes money to creditors; this includes more than $300,000 to a law firm that has represented the nonprofit in its legal fight with the city. “The City has designated an army of eight attorneys to overwhelm GLAZA with endless discovery, deposi- tions, and court filings all to run up GLAZA’s legal fees,” the nonprofit said in a state- ment to The Times. “As a re-

sult, GLAZA has been left with no options other than to seek protection from the bankruptcy court to ensure the survival of GLAZA and the protection of its donors.” In her statement, Feld- stein Soto argued that GLAZA spent more than a million dollars over the last year or so — at least $748,000 to its president and at least $390,000 to its lawyers — in an effort to prevent the city from recovering the endow- ment. The ruling is the latest development in a messy split between the two entities as the L.A. Zoo continues to struggle. The zoo, which houses more than 1,600 animals, has become dilapidated over the years. Exhibits for lions, bears, sea lions and pelicans have

closed because they need major renovations. The last two elephants, Billy and Tina, were transferred last year to the Tulsa Zoo after decades of campaigns by an- imal rights advocates over living conditions and a his- tory of deaths and health challenges. Animal rights groups had long sought to have the elephants moved to a sanctuary. The 59-year-old zoo, which occupies 133 acres in the northeast corner of Grif- fith Park, has also struggled to maintain its national ac- creditation, with federal regulators finding peeling paint and rust in some ex- hibits. U.S. Department of Agri- culture inspectors and the Assn. of Zoos & Aquariums found a “critical lack of fund- ing and staffing to address even the most basic repairs,” L.A. Zoo officials wrote in a budget document in Novem- ber 2024. A Los Angeles County civil grand jury report in June found L.A.’s budget shortfalls and dwindling zoo membership would make it difficult to maintain the zoological park in the long term. To safeguard the zoo’s legacy, the report recom- mended finding a new owner by next spring.

But the film- makers hoped to focus on the resilience and unsung work of the county employ- ees — not just the tragedy. “We’ve tried to keep that balance of not opening up wounds while at the same time remembering,” San Bernardino County Supervi- sor Curt Hagman told me. “We as a county family are very tight, and this is impor- tant for us to … let the fam- ilies, the victims know we still think of them often and will continue to always honor them.”
areas will cool a little this week
will get some relief, but temperatures will remain above normal.
By Alex Wigglesworth
Some relief from the lat- est summer heat wave is in store for Southern Califor- nia’s coastal areas, with slightly cooler conditions ex- pected this week. The coasts and coastal valleys will cool by 1 to 2 de- grees each day through Wednesday, although tem- peratures will remain above normal, according to the Na- tional Weather Service. Some coastal areas will see pockets of dense fog, the forecast states. Lower-elevation moun- tain and far interior areas will continue to see highs of 100 to 110 degrees, the weather service said. Heat advisories are in place through Wednesday. Some areas will also see strong winds, with gusts of 35 to 40 mph in the Antelope Valley, according to the weather service. The weather service is predicting elevated to briefly critical fire weather conditions in the interior valleys, mountains and des- erts through Saturday due to hot, dry and breezy condi- tions, including long periods of single-digit humidity lev- els. Should a fire start, there’s an increased risk that it will spread rapidly and send up a large vertical plume, which can result in erratic fire behavior, accord- ing to the weather service. There’s a 20% to 30% chance that interior areas will see red-flag conditions, in which critical fire weather lasts for six or more hours, at

produced, directed, shot and edited by three county multi- media production special- ists: Shanele Alvarez, Bran- son Tay and Megan Perez. None of them worked for the county at the time of the attack, Alvarez told me. They were inspired by the Curtain of Courage Memori- al outside the San Bernar- dino County Government Center — 14 bronze alcoves, each curved like a protective wall and dedicated to one of the victims. “We wanted to put a face, a personality to the names,” said Tay, who has worked for the county since 2021. “They’re not just names. These people really do dedi- cate their lives to serving our community.”
‘Unsung heroes’ The day of the attack, em- ployees of the county’s Divi- sion of Environmental Health Services had gath- ered for a training session and holiday celebration when their colleague, restau- rant inspector Syed Rizwan Farook, and his wife, Tash- feen Malik, walked in with military-style assault rifles and opened fire. In the documentary, Joshua Dugas, director of public health, said Environ- mental Health Services is “full of unsung heroes.” “They help protect the food we eat, the water we drink,” he said. “They ensure waste is properly disposed of. They respond during di- sasters. They’re behind the scenes on just about every aspect of life.” Tina Meins, whose father,
some point between Tues- day and Saturday, according to the weather service. The highest-risk areas include the Interstate 5 corridor, the interior mountains and val- leys of San Luis Obispo County, the Cuyama Valley and the interior mountains of Santa Barbara and Ven- tura counties. Forecasters expect hu- midity levels will increase by Saturday, which could limit nighttime cooling and com- bine with warm tempera- tures to prompt another round of heat advisories. Southern California has endured a hot and unusually muggy summer, with a string of heat waves that has had forecasters and public health authorities warning of an increased risk of heat- related illness. Scientists say such heat waves are becoming hotter and more frequent as the burning of fossil fuels causes the climate to warm. Coastal areas have also seen dangerous rip currents and elevated surf in recent weeks amid multiple south- erly swells, most recently due to Tropical Storm Gene- vieve. On Saturday, L.A. County closed several rest- rooms and an access road to Point Dume Beach after high tides and surf caused “extreme erosion,” accord- ing to the Department of Beaches and Harbors. The high surf also forced the can- cellation of two Pacific Surfliner trains, which run from San Luis Obispo to San Diego. By Monday, the danger- ous conditions had largely subsided, according to the weather service.

Damian, an environmental health inspector, died at the foot of the party’s Christmas tree, said in the film that “he really loved what he did — he loved helping keep people safe, and he liked encourag- ing people to recycle.” Meins said that because of her dad, she used to wear neon green shoelaces that read “Reduce, Reuse, Recy- cle” and were made from re- used materials.
A survivor’s wish Valerie Weber, who sur- vived being shot twice with the AR-15 rifle, said in the documentary that she had started her county job just seven weeks before the at- tack. A gunshot wound to the shoulder temporarily para- lyzed her hand. A bullet to her back shattered her pelvis. She had 60 operations and spent some 360 days over five years in the hospi- tal. Five years after the at- tack, she drove for the first time for three blocks — a small but substantial vic- tory. The next year, she rode a bicycle for the first time, and “that was pretty sensa- tional.” As the film shows photo- graphs of her working at a bake sale and volunteering, she said she doesn’t want to be known as the survivor of a terrorist attack — she wants to be known as someone who made a difference.
are in similar condition and facing similar prob- lems, said Nick Barnes- Batista, a spokesperson for Soto-Martinez. The lot next to Galicia’s has been on the city’s radar since at least late January, Barnes- Batista said. Amid California’s hous- ing crisis, any empty lot in a residential neighborhood is an opportunity to add much-needed shelter, ei- ther a single-family home or an apartment building. Recently in West Holly- wood, a pack of coyotes be- gan occupying an aban- doned condominium con- struction site. In North Hollywood last year, neigh- bors complained that an empty apartment building had turned into a drug den. It eventually was torn down. It has not been easy for Galicia. While he’s trying to rebuild, he’s had to fend off transients who trespass onto his property on a regular basis. Meanwhile, he complains that the city has done little to keep tres- passers out of his home or the neighboring lot, or to help him find the resources to rebuild — claims that the office of Soto-Martinez disputed. During a tour of the charred remains of his home, Galicia pointed to condom wrappers strewn throughout the house and a box of spent nitrous oxide canisters. The gas is com- monly inhaled by people to get high. In the front yard, a new- looking sleeping bag, which Galicia said was freshly used, lay cast aside. In an attempt to keep people off of his property, Galicia put up chain-link fencing to separate his home from the adjacent lot. But he says efforts to keep unwanted visitors out have proved futile, and he frequently sees new evi- dence of trespassers. Meanwhile, he said the lot next door remains un- secured and swamped with trash from transients. Left behind is a charred-out re- frigerator, bed frames, a worn-out and graffiti-cov- ered couch, piles of left-be- hind clothes and the burnt debris of the home that

support from progressives, including Sen. Bernie Sand- ers (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Fremont), oth- ers, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra and a growing list of labor unions, have come out against it, arguing the one- time nature of the tax and billionaire flight could cause more harm than good to California’s state budget. “This endorsement puts to rest the idea that Califor- nia Democrats are not united by the billionaire tax — they are,” said Dave Re- gan, president of SEIU- United Healthcare Workers West, the labor union that gathered enough signatures to put Proposition 40 on the ballot. Regan cited an internal poll that found more than 80% of registered Demo- crats support the tax, “and now the Democratic Party of California has officially embraced that strong sup- port through this endorse- ment.” Public opinion polls have shown the measure with slim majority support. Ac- cording to a May poll from the Public Policy Institute of California, 54% of likely vot- ers and 76% of Democrats

once stood there. Staff members from Soto-Martinez’s office said they’d directed Galicia to various city departments for assistance, but he said it’s been to no avail. Galicia said he has been strapped for cash and his home insurance fell short of covering the loss. In the months since the fire, which displaced 10 family members, he’s been paying $6,000 in rent on top of his $2,000 mortgage each month — a financial and emotional drain. “I have loans to pay, I have taxes to pay,” Galicia said. The fire started on the afternoon of March 8 while Galicia was at Ministerio Esperanza Church in South L.A., where he serves as pastor. The fire quickly spread to Galicia’s home and another proper- ty, a Los Angeles Fire De- partment report said. It took more than eight hours and dozens of firefighters
said they would vote for the tax. Proposition 40 seeks to raise $100 billion over a five- year span to backfill cuts to Medicaid and food assist- ance programs included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by President Trump last year. Its sup- porters argue that the fed- eral tax cuts benefit the wealthy at the expense of low-income people and that Proposition 40 would re- verse the damage. Its opponents, which in- clude the California Teach- ers Assn. and tech founders spending millions to defeat the measure, argue it could destabilize the state budget — which already taxes wealthy earners at higher rates — by pushing billion- aires to leave California for other states. In a statement, the No on Prop. 40 campaign said Newsom, Becerra and or- ganizations including the California Professional Firefighters union and Planned Parenthood Affili- ates of California oppose the tax “because it’s bad for our budget, bad for our economy, and bad for our fu- ture. We need smart, dura- ble solutions to our biggest challenges, not unreliable, untested schemes that

No definitive cause was determined in the Fire De- partment report, which said the home on the lot next door was knocked down after the fire because it was a “public hazard.” The lot next to Galicia’s home, plus an adjacent one, were set to be devel- oped into a 22-unit, four- story apartment complex, according to documents from the Los Angeles De- partment of City Planning. The most recent filings for the project were submitted to the city in 2021. The iden- tified developer did not re- spond to a request for com- ment.

The party also voted to oppose two competing ballot mea- sures that seek to undercut the billionaire tax, along with a voter ID measure and a proposal to weaken the California Environmental Quality Act for housing and infrastructure projects. Democrats voted to en- dorse two housing bonds — an $11.25-billion bond to build affordable housing and a $25-billion down pay- ment assistance program — and an $8.4-billion immu- nology research bond. The party is also sup- porting a measure to make permanent an existing tax on high-income earners that funds education and healthcare. “Every endorsement we make is earned, not given,” California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks said in a statement. “Cali- fornia Democrats take a de- liberative approach to our endorsement process that puts our values first and en- sures our members have a meaningful voice in shaping the future of our state.”

the group Los Angeles Wa- terkeeper. But representatives of developers, property owners and business groups raised concerns about the costs and requirements that they said are sometimes unclear. Business groups said that they already pay prop- erty taxes in L.A. County, in- cluding a special tax for cleaning up stormwater, and that imposing new regula- tions in this way doesn’t make sense. Mike Lewis of the Los An- geles County Business Fed- eration, or BizFed, said in June the new requirement is likely to face an appeal. “By the time a final deci- sion is made, it could look completely different,” Lewis said in an email. “As written, the permit hits existing property owners with retro- active costs while simulta- neously ignoring the stormwater taxes they’ve been paying in good faith for years.” The effort to mandate stormwater permits has been discussed in L.A. County for years. In 2015, environmental groups petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on the issue. They won in court, clearing the way for the L.A. water board to act. Many Southern Califor- nia creeks and concrete- lined channels are deemed “impaired” by regulators be- cause of high pollution lev- els. When rain falls on park- ing lots, water runs off, car- rying metal dust and chemi- cals from vehicle tires and brake pads, oil and grease from engines, and bacteria from trash. Facilities will be able to comply with the new rules in three ways: They can make sure water coming off their property meets pollution limits. They can build re- tention ponds or swales to filter out contaminants be- fore water percolates under- ground. Or they can help pay for local stormwater proj- ects that cities need. Properties with at least five acres of impervious sur-

face will be subject to the rules. State officials estimated the costs at $4,100 per acre of paved or impermeable sur- face for those that decide to help fund local stormwater projects, and said the costs for other options could be considerably higher. In June, California Coast- keeper Alliance and other nonprofit groups tried to ex- pand the clean water protec- tions statewide by petitioning six other re- gional water boards. They are also calling for the California Legislature and the State Water Re- sources Control Board to broaden the reach of the re- quirements, which business groups oppose. In 2022, Gov. Gavin New- som vetoed legislation that would have required stormwater permits for many businesses statewide. In 2025, a similar bill faced opposition and died in the Legislature. Environmental groups estimate, using methods de- veloped by the EPA, that un- regulated businesses have been responsible for 30% to 60% of copper and zinc found in waterways, which at high concentrations are toxic to fish and other ani- mals. Until now, businesses have not had to reduce the polluted water that flows into drains, and the costs of cleanup efforts have fallen to cities and counties, said Sean Bothwell, executive di- rector of California Coast- keeper Alliance. “The corporations that

USC running back King Miller charges against Notre Dame in the teams’ last meeting in October.
[USC, from B10]
away from one of college football’s most prestigious rivalries, the coach remained steadfast in not- ing the inequity in their schedules, with USC facing Notre Dame amid a grueling Big Ten schedule. Notre Dame, meanwhile, wanted a long-term agreement to keep the game during the same late-season slot in which the series has always been played. Their dis- pute played out in a series of public relations missives, starting last May, when Notre Dame athletic di- rector Pete Bevacqua suggested to Sports Illustrated that the rivalry was in jeopardy because USC didn’t want to continue it. But after halting negotiations, then returning again to the negoti- ating table, both schools found a way to reach an agreement an- nounced Monday. “USC’s historic rivalry with No- tre Dame holds a special place in the history of college football,” USC athletic director Jennifer

Cohensaid in a statement. “And we are happy to resume [a] series that means so much to the entire Tro- jan Family. “I think this benefits everyone,” Riley said. “I think this benefits USC. I think this benefits Notre Dame. I think this benefits college football. This is important. We know it’s important to our fan base, we know it’s important to alumni, we know it’s important to former players and coaches.” USC owns a 37-53-5 all-time record against Notre Dame, ex- cluding the Trojans’ 2005 victory, which was later vacated because of NCAA sanctions (original record: 38-53-5). Riley is 1-3 during his Tro- jans tenure against the Irish. The teams battle for the Jeweled Shil- lelagh. And while the two rivals won’t face each other again for another four years, that hiatus now at least has an end in sight. “We want to play this game,” Riley said. “That has never

Our desire to play this game … has ne- ver been questioned and never will. “We’re glad we finally got to a place where we got the other side to agree.”
Etc. USC wideout Tanook Hines, who is sitting out with an injury to start preseason camp, said Mon- day that he expects to be ready for the season. … Lead running back Waymond Jordan, who sat out the second half of last season, said his surgically repaired ankle is 100% at the start of camp. ... A starter on last year’s offensive line, Alani Noa said he left USC’s football program during the bowl game last season because of “personal problems at home” and that there was never a question that he’d return to the team.

Eala first Filipina to win WTA singles title
staff and wire reports
Alexandra Eala’s break- through week at the DC Open lasted one day longer than ex- pected. By the time it ended, the Filipino expression written across the Nike T-shirt she had worn ear- lier that week had become a reality. “Once it grows, it cannot be stopped.” After the women’s final stretched across two days because of heavy rain, Eala rallied past Jes- sica Pegula 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 Monday to capture her first career WTA Tour title. The victory made the 21-year- old Eala the first Filipina to win a singles title on the tour, completing the same career-defining break- through that the Washington tour- nament once gave Pegula when she claimed her first WTA title in 2019. “At the beginning of the week, there’s no way I would have thought that I would be holding this trophy,” Eala said. “Winning a 500 [level tournament] is insane. It’s an incredible milestone for me.” In the men’s final later Monday, third-seeded Taylor Fritz de- feated Rafael Jodar 7-6 (2), 6-4. Fritz broke the Spaniard twice early in the second set and eventu- ally converted his fifth champi- onship point after letting four earli- er opportunities slip away.
Kamilla Rakhimova beat Ven- us Williams 6-4, 6-1 in a rain-de- layed match Sunday night to kick off the National Bank Open wom- en’s main draw in Toronto. Granted a singles wild-card en- try at the WTA 1000 event, the 46- year-old Williams has lost 12 straight matches dating to July 2025.
Bears’ safety Bryant suffers leg injury
Chicago Bears starting safety Coby Bryant left practice in a cart with an apparent leg injury on Monday. Bryant, the former Seahawks player who was acquired in free agency, was working against tight end Cole Kmet in one-on-one drills and clutched his left leg near the knee.

The team hasn’t announced the nature or severity of the injury and coach Ben Johnson spoke Monday prior to practice. However, ESPN reported Bryant could miss 8-10 weeks with a hyperextension, bone bruise and small fracture. The injury happened just as Bears running back Kyle Monan- gai returned to practice briefly af- ter missing three straight work- outs with a soft tissue injury.
Jadeveon Clowney reunited with the Houston Texans on a one- year deal Sunday, bringing his pass-rushing skills back to the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2014. A person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press of the agreement with Clowney. The person spoke on condition of ano- nymity because the deal had not been announced. ...Dallas Cow- boys tight end Princeton Fant left practice early after apparently suf- fering a knee injury.
Nysos, who would have been fa- vored in the $1-million Pacific Clas- sic later this month at Del Mar and was a top early contender for the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic this fall, won’t race again, Cool- more America announced. The 5-year-old son of Nyquist is headed to stallion duty next year at Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in Ver- sailles, Ky., the same farm where Journalism, another horse who was being pointed for those two races, was sent last month after his retirement because of injury. —Jay Posner
Sigrid Haugset set off on a long solo run and kept going to the fin- ish to win the third stage of the Women’s Tour de France and claim the yellow jersey. The Norwegian rider made her break more than halfway through the tough 97.2-mile route between Geneva and Poligny, France.
Europe captain Anna Nord- qvist finalized her Solheim Cup team by adding veteran Leona Maguire and rookies Julia Lopez Ramirez of Spain, Nastasia Nadaud of France and Mimi Rhodes of England for the Sept. 11- 13 matches. Charley Hull of England easily earned one of the two automatic spots, along with Esther Henseleit of Germany.

just a fraction of that. Under pressure, In- fantino announced Friday he was withdrawing the plan, known as the FIFA Forward Enterprise. But it turns out there was more to the proposal than originally thought. Much, much more. Which is why Infantino’s campaign for reelection to a fourth term as FIFA presi- dent next March, a cam- paign which had the sup- port of more than 200 FIFA members two weeks ago, now appears doomed. The national federations of Serbia, Sweden and Wales on Monday withdrew their support for Infantino and England’s FA is expected to do the same. UEFA, the governing body for Europe- an soccer and the largest and most powerful of FIFA’s six continental confedera- tions, is threatening legal action while two other con- federations — CONCACAF, the largest of FIFA’s two confederations in the Americas and the AFC, which manages soccer in Asia — have issued con- demnations. Those three confedera- tions together represent nearly 140 FIFA members, meaning if they hold to- gether, there is no path for Infantino to get the 106 votes he would need to win reelec- tion. So how did we get here? How did Infantino go from progressive reformer, the overseer of newly transpar- ent and accountable FIFA, to the man who literally tried to sell the World Cup? The journey may not have been as long as it seemed because Infantino may never have been the Boy Scout he was initially per- ceived to be. Days after his first elec- tion as president in 2016, his name surfaced in leaked documents indicating that, while a senior legal official at UEFA, he had co-signed a broadcast deal with a com- pany subsequently linked to a U.S. investigation into FIFA corruption. Later that same year, a FIFA commit- tee opened an investigation into whether Infantino breached the organization’s Code of Ethics. Infantino was eventually cleared by that probe but another pattern soon emerged, one that saw the president morph from a soccer bureaucrat into someone who believes he should be mixing with presi- dents and kings. Infantino inherited World Cups that had al- ready been awarded to Russia and Qatar, but he aggressively downplayed the human rights abuses in the two countries. Russian President Putin rewarded that by presenting the FIFA chief with the Order of

Games. The first Olympics in L.A. in 44 years will wel- come 11,198 athletes across 51 sports from more than 200 countries competing over 20 days. The 2028 Paralympics will come to L.A. for the first time with a 23-para sport schedule that will begin competition before the opening ceremony for the first time. Despite the difference in scale, John Harper, chief op- erating officer of LA28, called the successful World Cup’s local matches “an im- mense learning opportunity for us in a lot of ways.” Attending World Cup matches as a fan and be- hind-the-scenes observer, Harper was impressed by the transportation services provided by L.A. Metro. The agency said it provided more than 212,000 rides directly to and from SoFi Stadium and 15 parking and transit hubs in the counties of L.A. and Orange through an en- hanced service. Harper was encouraged by the inter- agency work between differ- ent public partners that helped the eight matches go off without a major hitch. But the biggest lesson was in the spirit of the fans who packed watch parties, streets and bars. “It really demonstrated the power of sport,” Harper said. “Not only the energy in the stadium, but the energy in the city and L.A. being such a diverse city, you really saw the world come to life on the streets of L.A.” The World Cup exceeded expectations, Schloessman said, delivering economic ef- fects, local supplier opportu-
LAFC co-managing owner Larry Berg will face daunting challenges as the third commissioner in MLS history.

Larry Berg, the co-man- aging owner of LAFC, was chosen Monday to become the third commissioner in MLS history when Don Gar- ber retires in December. Berg has been with LAFC since the club’s founding, helping build the team into the league’s most successful franchise since entering MLS in 2018. He has held ownership stakes in Italy’s AS Roma and Welsh club Swansea City and has served MLS as co-chair of the league’s sporting and competition committee. Berg, 60, also spent more than three decades in pri- vate equity, serving as a sen- ior partner at Apollo Global Management before retiring in 2022. “I'm honored to lead Ma- jor League Soccer into its next era,” Berg, a lifelong soccer fan and player, said in a statement released by the league. “Thanks to the vi- sion and commitment of so many people, Major League Soccer has achieved

nity and community engage- ment. LASEC hosted fan areas at 10 different loca- tions, highlighted by the tournament-opening festi- val at the Coliseum. The City of L.A. hosted seven free “Kick It In the Park” watch parties. Sports bars and restaurants overflowed with customers who drank beer taps dry. “It was just this six-week interlude of time when peo- ple liked each other and peo- ple were having fun to- gether,” Schloessman said. LA28 hopes to create a similar, harmonious energy during the Games at major sports zones. Areas where multiple venues are clus- tered together, such as L.A. Live, Exposition Park, Long Beach, Inglewood and Car- son, will have dedicated fan zones. While LA28 will be re- sponsible for hosting official live sites for the Games, local communities can organize their own Games-time activ- ities. LASEC worked with lo- cal organizations and busi- nesses leading up to the World Cup to promote op- portunities, including watch parties, meetups or themed decorations while still ad- hering to strict rules regard- ing FIFA broadcasts and logos. LA28 will provide sim- ilar guidance leading up to the Olympic and Para- lympics Games. “It is our responsibility, with the organizers, with the authorities, to create an Olympic experience for as many people as possible,” said Pierre Ducrey, Interna- tional Olympic Committee sports director, who was im- pressed by the atmosphere
tremendous success, but I believe our greatest oppor- tunities are still ahead.” Berg has some big shoes to fill just as MLS enters an important stage of its devel- opment. Under Garber, who served 27 years, MLS ex- panded from 10 to 30 teams. Garber also oversaw multi- ple changes in the league’s salary structure, including the advent of the desig- nated-player rule, which al- lowed MLS clubs to sign stars including Lionel Messi, David Beckham and Thierry Henry while boost- ing the median guaranteed salary to $360,000. Two years after Garber became commissioner, he helped save the league from bankruptcy and he’ll leave with the combined value of the league’s 30 teams esti- mated at $23 billion. Five teams, including Berg’s LAFC, are each valued at more than $1 billion. Berg will face some daunting challenges with the league trying to ride the wave of soccer’s popularity following the U.S.’ just sec- ond-ever time hosting the

With 14 million tickets avail- able, the 2028 Games could break the sales record set by Paris 2024, which sold 12 mil-

Pochettino agrees to four-year extension Mauricio Pochettino is staying with the U.S. soccer team, agreeing Monday to a four-year contract to coach the Americans through the 2030 World Cup. A 54-year-old who took over in October 2024, Pochettino led the U.S. to the World Cup round of 16, where the tournament co- hosts were eliminated with a 4-1 loss to Belgium. Still, he helped the seeded U.S. to a pair of firsts in the expanded 48-nation tournament, clinching ad- vancement from the group stage with a game to spare and winning three games in
Middle East and was a fre- quent visitor to the White House. Last October, Infantino took to Instagram to say that Trump “definitely deserves” the Nobel Peace Prize. When he didn’t get it, Infantino simply created his own award, presenting Trump with first FIFA Peace Prize last December. But the access to the top

lion tickets between the Olympics and Paralympics. The biggest World Cup ever also boasted the high- est attendance, but some of the tournament’s best parties came outside of sta- diums. Santa Monica put screens on every block of the Third Street Promenade for World Cup watch parties where patrons were allowed to carry alcoholic beverages within a specific area of the open-air mall.

a single World Cup. “The magic thing that happened during the World Cup, the connection with the people, of course with the whole organization and everything was a key point,” Pochettino said during a Zoom news conference from his home in Barcelona, Spain. Pochettino views the next cycle as a new start for a program lacking quality depth at goalkeeper and central defender. Pochettino, who has homes in Spain and London, said he may move to the U.S. He intends to stay with the American team until 2030 but left himself an out. “Four years time is a really long period. You never know what can happen in soccer,” he said. “Today peo- ple really love you. In eight weeks time, maybe that change[s], that feeling.” He has led the U.S. to 17 wins (including a penalty- kicks victory), 13 losses and one draw. Twenty-three of 62 players to appear under Pochettino have accounted for the team’s 57 goals.
levels of the U.S. govern- ment may have created Infantino’s Icarus moment. The beginning of Infantino’s fall may have started last year at the White House when he and Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo attended a black-tie dinner to honor Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. Five days earlier, Ron-
closed down more than a mile of downtown Santa Monica during the World Cup final for a block party that attracted 20,000 people. And, Santa Monica May- or Caroline Torosis proudly emphasized, it was free. “I think major global events have an extractive history,” Torosis said. “We are trying to change that. We are also trying to use it as an opportunity to showcase the city itself. So how do we ben- efit our local community but also reintroduce Santa Monica to the region?” Santa Monica balked at the chance to host competi- tions for the 2028 Games. Talks to host beach volley- ball near the iconic pier broke down in 2025, six months after a study indicated that being a venue city could result in a net loss of $1.45 million, while not hosting the competition could still generate $10.65 million in profit because of the city’s status as a popular tourist destination. Santa Monica already has deals in place to host hospitality houses for sev- eral countries in 2028, in- cluding France and Switzer- land. Broadcast partners will set up studios on the city’s iconic pier. With plans for watch parties and other accessible celebrations for fans, Torosis envisions Santa Monica being “the place to be” during the Games. “We are prepared for the influx of people that are go- ing to be in the city,” Torosis said. “I think that FIFA was a great dry run.” Inglewood was at the center of the World Cup with
aldo had been given a red card and a three-game suspension for a serious foul, a penalty that would have forced him to miss the start of the World Cup. After the White House event, FIFA announced Ronaldo’s suspension had been lifted, allowing one of the World Cup’s star attractions to play in the tournament. That was an incident Trump remembered last month when he personally — and successfully — peti- tioned Infantino to lift a red-card suspension for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun the day before a World Cup round-of-16 game with Bel- gium. It was just the second time in history a suspension was overturned during a World Cup. Infantino also pushed through a number of other World Cup firsts for this summer’s tournament. He added three-minute hydra- tion breaks each half, upset- ting more than a century and a half of soccer tradition while giving six more min- utes of advertising space to broadcasters; he introduced a halftime show for the final, nearly doubling the inter- mission break for the tour- nament’s most important game; and he pioneered a dynamic pricing scheme that more than doubled the cost of tickets from 2022. Those moves were de- signed to boost FIFA reve- nues, and they did — as did Infantino’s push to expand the 2026 World Cup to 48 teams and 104 games. But his luck ran out with his plan to give outside investors a share of the tournament, a scheme known to the White House — Jared Kushner was originally involved, accord- ing to reports — but few others. One damning part of the plan involved a potential future role for Infantino in the investment fund. As FIFA’s president, Infantino earns an annual salary of $6 million, but if reelected, he can serve just one more term, meaning he’d be out of a job in 2031. However, multi- ple reports, citing unnamed sources, said Infantino was positioned to be chief execu- tive of the investment arm in his post-FIFA days, a job that pays $30 million a year. FIFA said that idea was never discussed. It also denied reports that In- fantino had been rebuffed Monday in efforts to contact Trump for help in saving his presidency. But should he be pushed aside and should his days as a private equity manager never come to pass, there is another job Trump thinks he could do. The president is report- edly considering pushing Infantino to become the next United Nations secre- tary-general when António Guterres’ term expires in December.
eight matches at SoFi Sta- dium. The city got an econo- mic boost from an estimated 625,000 fans, including thou- sands who traveled to sup- port their national teams without a match ticket, In- glewood Mayor James T. Butts Jr. said. Fans from all over the world, sporting their coun- try’s colors, flooded Market Street for the city-hosted Wood Cup festival to begin the tournament. Packed prematch marches stunned organizers who were unfa- miliar with the tradition. While SoFi Stadium’s name was changed to “Los Angeles Stadium” per FIFA’s spon- sorship rules, broadcasters still emphasized they were in Inglewood. “It really gave a boost to community pride that Ingle- wood is now an international city,” Butts said. Inglewood will remain the setting for the mega- event story. SoFi Stadium, in addition to hosting a sec- ond Super Bowl in five years, is the scene for the 2028 Olympic opening ceremony — which will be shared with the Coliseum — as well as Olympic swimming and the Paralympic opening cere- mony. Neighboring Intuit Dome will host the Olympic basketball tournament. The consistent stream of global events doesn’t faze Butts. In a city that will have hosted an NBA All-Star Game, eight World Cup matches and another Super Bowl in less than a calendar year, the Olympic chapter is already written. “We do it time and time again,” Butts said. “This is what we do.”

three homers in another poor outing that leads to Boston’s three-game sweep.
By Joaquin Ruiz
The Dodgerswere swept for just the second time this season after the red-hot Boston Red Sox hit four home runs, including three off embattled starter Emmet Sheehan, to take an 8-4 winon Sun- day night at Dodger Stadium. Boston hit three home runs in four at-bats in the third inning, with Sheehan giving up blasts to Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu and Masataka Yoshida as the Dod- gers suffered their second three- game sweep at home in less than a month. “It was bad execution,” Shee- han said. “I just missed my spots.” Boston got to Sheehan early with a pair of RBI singles from Yoshida and Caleb Durbin in the first inning. The Dodgers (69-43) responded with three runs in the second as Eliézer Alfonzo collected an RBI with a groundout against Red Sox starter Jake Bennett. Andy Pages then drove in two more runs on a single to right. He also hit an RBI double in the seventh for the Dod- gers’ final run. Sheehan (4-8), who has a 6.39 ERA over his past seven starts, gave up six hits and five runs over just 2 2⁄3 innings. Reliever Wyatt Mills also strug- gled, giving up two runs over two innings. “I don’t know,” Sheehan said about his rough stretch. “If I knew, I would fix it, but I’m going to keep trying to fix it. ... The only thing I can do is try to get better. There’s no other option.” Added Dodgers manager Dave Roberts: “I just don’t think [Shee- han] was sharp today at all. ... They took a lot of comfortable swings [and] aggressive swings. There were some strikeouts and some swing-miss. But the end of the day, it’s about limiting runs, and if you can’t keep the ball in the ballpark, then it’s hard to win.”

EMMET SHEEHAN on the mound during an 8-4 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. The right-hander gave up six hits and five runs in just 2 2⁄3 innings and has a 6.39 ERA over his past seven starts.
Bennett (7-4) settled in after his rough second inning and threw 5 2⁄3 innings as Boston won for the 27th time in 32 games after outscoring the Dodgers 20-10 in the three- game series. Jarren Duran, a Cypress native, added to Boston’s lead with a 420- foot solo homer to center field off reliever Kyle Hurt in the sixth. It was Duran’s first homer since July 5 against the Angels. Boston (60-51) closed out the scoring in the eighth, with Durbin scoring on a wild pitch from Mills and Andruw Monasterio scoring on a ball that got past Alfonzo. “I think that if you look at it, un- emotionally, they outplayed us,” Roberts said about Boston’s sweep. “They were hungrier. You’ve got a lot of players over there that are under control. They’re fighting a higher seed in the postseason. They’re playing

good baseball, and they outplayed us. “It’s not an excuse. I don’t feel good about it, but that’s kind of what I saw.”
Skubal arrives Starting pitcher Tarik Skubal, acquired by the Dodgers in a trade with the Detroit Tigers on Sat- urday, was in the Dodgers’ dugout during the game, exchanging pleasantries with his new team- mates and coaches. The team also shared a video of Skubal settling in on social media. “We got better,” said Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz. “That’s the only thing I can say. We got … one of the best pitchers in the league, and now we have him as a teammate. So that’s a really good plus for us.”

So, I’m fine. If Doc needs me and the situa- tion presents itself ... I need to be available every single day.” Dalton Rushing was scratched with minor right arm irritation; Al- fonzo started in his place. “Dalton had some arm irrita- tion when he was playing catch be- fore the game, which is very un- common,” Roberts said, adding that X-rays were negative. “I didn’t want to take a chance and kind of push him anymore, so that’s why I decided to scratch him. “He got treated today, and my expectation is he’s going to be with us on the plane, and then kind of day to day.”

spent eight years with the Detroit Tigers. That place will always be special to me no matter what. In the same breath, I’m excited to be here with these guys. When you watch them from across the way, see them do their thing on TV, you just have a lot of respect because they play the game the right way. “The entire focus of this organization is on winning championships and that is my entire focus playing baseball so we’re very much aligned. I’m ready to go out there and compete and give this organization and city everything that I’ve got.” The Dodgers put the final touches on their trade dead- line Monday, adding catch- ing depth as Dalton Rushing went on the 10-day IL with a sprained left elbow, with the acquisitions of Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Fe- duccia, two backstops with whom they were already fa- miliar. They also added left- hander Kris Bubic, who can make a difference once he comes back from a shoulder injury. It was clear all along, however, that Skubal was going to be the biggest splash of the deadline — for any team, really. And fuel for opposing baseball fans’ frus- tration with the team that seems to be able to get any player they want. “I think the Dodgers have done a fantastic job in player development,” said Cubs president of baseball opera- tions Jed Hoyer, who also en- gaged in trade talks for Skubal. “They have a really good farm system, and Scott [Harris] did the best thing you could do for the Tigers and got a lot of talent back. And obviously they did the best thing for their team. “And he’s an incredible pitcher. I mean, there’s no question about that. And I guess we’ll see firsthand [Tuesday]. But I know there’s been a reaction around baseball about it, but they put themselves in positions to do that deal, and they did, and that’s ex- actly what they should be doing.” Skubal had accepted by the end of his last start that he was going to be moving on. “Losing that game kind of felt like that was kind of it for

Angels deal Soriano, Adell at deadline
ANGELS
wire reports
The Toronto Blue Jays bolstered their rotation with an eye on 2027 by acquiring right-hander José Soriano from the Angels for three prospects ahead of Mon- day’s MLB trade deadline. The 27-year-old Soriano is 9-6 with a 3.29 ERA and has a 3.72 ERA over four big league seasons. He’s under team control through 2028. Soriano started the season among the hottest pitchers in the majors, giving up one run in his first 37 2⁄3 innings but then posted a 4.64 ERA over his next 16 starts. Infielder Arjun Nim- mala, a 2023 first-round pick, headlined the minor leaguers going to the Angels, along with outfielder Eddie Micheletti Jr. and right- hander Angel Rivero. The Angels also dealt outfielder Jo Adell to Cleve- land for minor league catcher Jacob Cozart. Adell gives the Guardians a power bat and some outfield versa- tility. The 27-year-old has 16 homers and 62 RBIs this season, one year after hitting a career-best 37 homers with 98 RBIs. Adell has spent his entire career with the Angels after being the 10th overall pick in the 2017 amateur draft. The addition of Soriano comes after the Blue Jays traded veteran pitcher Kev- in Gausman to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night for triple-A outfielder Brett Bateman and Class-A in- fielder Ty Southisene. Toronto later sent center fielder Daulton Varsho to Houston in exchange for right-handed starter Spencer Arrighetti. Varsho, a Gold Glove winner in 2024, provides a big boost in the outfield for the Astros.
Red Sox adding All-Star Rutschman The Boston Red Sox ac- quired All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles for a package that includes three of their top prospects. The 28-year-old

me in Detroit,” he said. “So not surprised, but that didn’t make the news any easier because I love a lot of those people there. I’ve got a lot of respect about what they do and how they go about their business. A lot of those guys are like my best friends on and off the field. I wish those guys nothing but the best. I’ll be rooting for them, unless we’re playing.” He officially starts a new chapter Tuesday, taking the mound for the Dodgers at Wrigley Field. “They’ve been a pretty good baseball team without me,” he said. “So I’m going to show up and kind of be a cha- meleon in a sense and fit right in with these guys and just jell with them. They’ve got the winning recipe. They know what it takes to win.”
JO ADELL, signing autographs in June, was traded to the Guardians for a minor league catcher Monday.
Rutschman is hitting .251 with eight home runs and 47 RBIs this season. He earned an All-Star nod for the third time but is currently on the injured list with left wrist in- flammation. He's also dealt with an ankle injury and a concussion this year. Baltimore also sent catcher Jake Rogers to the Red Sox. In return, the Ori- oles received minor league right-handers Anthony Eyansonand Kyson Wither- spoon, minor league out- fielder Enddy Azocar, catcher Carlos Narváez and a player to be named later. Eyanson, Witherspoon and Azocar were ranked among Boston's top five prospects by MLB Pipeline, with Eyan- son in the top 50 in all of baseball.
Arraez to Phillies, Harper back to RF
The Phillies acquired three-time batting champi- on Luis Arraez from the Gi- ants in a move for the proven bat Philadelphia’s lineup needed in its chase for its first World Series champi- onship since 2008. Arraez is batting a Na- tional League-best .324 with four homers and 47 RBIs with an .801 OPS. He’s a four- time All-Star and, of impor- tance in the free-swinging Phillies lineup, is a contact hitter who rarely strikes out. The Phillies also ac- quired right-handed reliever

CHICAGO — The Dodgers added catching depth on Monday with a fa- miliar name. They acquired journey- man backstop Ben Rortvedt from the Mets for right- hander Chayce McDermott, the team announced hours before the trade deadline. The move marked the third time in a little over a

Caleb Kilian in the trade in exchange for minor league right-handed pitchers Ra- mon Marquez and Marty Gair. The Phillies also struck a separate deal for Mets left- hander Brooks Raley in ex- change for minor league right-handed pitcher Luke Gabrysh and minor league outfielder John Spikerman. Arraez’s arrival means a major shift in the defensive core lineup as Phillies inter- im manager Don Mattingly said Arraez will play second base, triggering a defensive shuffle that will move Bryce Harper back to right field. Bryson Stott will move from second base to third, and third baseman Alec Bohm will shift to first, where Harper has played since returning from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2023.
Padres acquire Cy Young winner Ray
The San Diego Padres ac- quired veteran left-hander Robbie Ray from the Giants for two prospects. The Padres have won eight of nine to move one game back of the final NL wild-card playoff position, and this latest surge in their up-and-down season prompted general manager A.J. Preller to trade yet an- other chunk of his severely depleted farm system for an- other chance to win now.
year that the Dodgers have acquired Rortvedt. They also traded for him before the deadline last year and claimed him off waivers for several days in February. The Dodgers designated McDermott for assignment on Friday in the midst of a re- liever shuffle to prepare for a bullpen game. The team felt comfort- able with backup catcher Dalton Rushing taking on the bulk of the catching du- ties while catcher Will Smith continues to work back from a lingering neck injury that’s kept him sidelined since early June. But depth at the physically taxing position is always valuable.
San Diego gave up right- hander Miguel Mendez and 17-year-old shortstop Joniel Hernandez for the 34-year- old Ray, a former Cy Young Award winner who will be an unrestricted free agent. The Padres, who desper- ately needed a veteran start- er for a rotation with the ma- jors’ fourth-highest ERA, also got cash considerations to pay part of Ray’s $25-mil- lion salary.
Pirates boost ’pen with Weaver
The Pittsburgh Pirates made a significant push to improve their beleaguered bullpen, acquiring veteran right-hander Luke Weaver from the New York Mets. Pittsburgh, looking to end a decade-long playoff drought, sent 21-year-old shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura to the Mets in ex- change for the 32-year-old Weaver. Weaver had been one of the few bright spots for the last-place Mets, going 2-1 with a 1.84 ERA with one save in 42 appearances.
Etc. The Chicago Cubs are poised to acquire pitcher Clay Holmes and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Mets for touted infield prospect Jefferson Rojas. The teams have agreed to the trade pending medical reviews, according to AP. ... The Seattle Mariners ac- quired outfielder Taylor Ward from the Orioles in ex- change for minor league right-handers Alex Hoppe, Brock Moore and Harrison Kreiling. Ward adds to Seat- tle’s outfield depth and could make impending free agent outfielder Randy Arozarena expendable. ...The Tampa Bay Rays add- ed catcher Liam Hicks in a trade with the Miami Mar- lins, according to AP. The Marlins received prospects Jacob Kisting, Adrian San- tana and Brayden Tay- lor...The Atlanta Braves ac- quired veteran reliever Brent Suterfrom the Angels for minor league infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr.
That point was high- lighted Sunday, when the Dodgers scratched Rushing from the lineup with what they called minor arm irrita- tion. Rushing was placed on the injured list Monday with a mild elbow strain with Chuckie Robinson joining the team in Chicago, and the plan is to activate Rortvedt on Tuesday, Dodgers man- ager Dave Roberts said. In Rortvedt, the Dodgers bring in an experienced catcher who is familiar with their pitching staff back into the organization. Rortvedt has spent the season in triple-A Syracuse, where he posted a .733 OPS.. As the trade deadline ap-

proached, the Dodgers also acquired left-hander Kris Bubic from the Royals. In re- turn, the Dodgers sent back right-hander Carlos Duran. Bubic, who was an All- Star last year, was on the 60- day IL with the Royals. Left elbow soreness initially side- lined him in mid-May, but shoulder soreness set back his ramp-up. Right at the deadline, the Dodgers added a second catcher, Hunter Feduccia from the Rays. The Dodgers also landed right-hander Jacob Kmatz in the deal with the Rays, getting outfielder Jack Suwinski and international bonus pool money.

NEW DODGER Tarik Skubal, acquired from Detroit Saturday, throws on the field prior to a matchup against the Cubs on Monday.
to start anew with loaded Dodgers
By Maddie Lee
CHICAGO — Just a few days ago, new Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal was on the other side, on a mid-mar- ket Tigers team that had hoped to unseat the Dodgers from the top of the league, before a disappointing sea- son made them sellers at the trade deadline. Still, with that perspec- tive, he wasn’t going to enter- tain any talk about the Dod- gers ruining baseball. “I don’t really sympathize with people that blame the Dodgers for anything they’ve done,” Skubal said from the Barrel Room at
In aftermath of scheme, Infantino may get the boot
By Kevin Baxter
When Gianni Infantino was chosen to replace Sepp Blatter as president of FIFA, he was seen as a reformer, some- one who would bring transparency and openness to soccer’s international gov- erning body, which had long been mired in scandal and deceit. A decade later, the reformer has been exposed, hoisted by his own petard after a secret partnership with a member of President Trump’s family circle to sell 20% of the World Cup to private investors was exposed. It was a deal so brazen it made past FIFA transgressions seem quaint by comparison. Less than two weeks after Infantino closed one of the most successful World Cups in history, one that brought in a record $15 billion in revenue, The Times of London revealed that Infantino had begun bribing FIFA’s 211-member asso- ciations, giving them until Sept. 19 to accept his plan to sell a stake in the com- mercial and tournament rights to the World Cup and other FIFA tournaments to a private equity firm headed by Joshua Kushner, the brother of Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and an inveterate White House counselor. Sign on, the federations were told, and you’ll get $20 million. Decline, and FIFA will give you

Like most good stories, this one requires planning. Organizers with the L.A. Sports and Entertainment Commission spent nearly nine years preparing to bring the FIFA World Cup to L.A. The most popular sporting event in the world was just the start of a mega-event trilogy that turns the page to Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium and will culminate with the largest Olympics ever in 2028. “We are on the international stage for three years,” said Kathryn Schloessman, president and chief executive officer of L.A. Sports and Entertainment Commission, or LASEC, said. “What story are we telling and how are we doing that?” The World Cup was a riveting first chapter. The 39-day tournament brought more than 560,000 fans to SoFi Stadium for eight matches, 250,000 fans to 10 official fan zones and a projected $892 million in econo- mic impact across L.A. County, according to LASEC. The expanded World Cup, with 48 teams and 104 matches over 16 venues in three countries, is only a logistical qualifying match compared to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic
Wrigley Field. “They’ve de- veloped a really good organi- zation. They draft well. They acquire talent really well. They retain talent. It’s a win- ning organization. Now the complaints seem to be [hap- pening] because they’ve won the last two World Series. I don’t think it was like that three years ago. So I don’t really sympathize with peo- ple that are complaining. Be- cause the Dodgers do all the right things.” Skubal didn’t want to talk about his impending free agency. And he said he did not have any conversations with Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris about preferring to be traded to the Dodgers. Be- fore the trade, he told Tigers reporters that he wanted to remain with the only team he’d known and compete for a championship there. “Initial reaction, there was a lot of emotions,” Skubal said Monday. “I

IRISH RESUME STORIED RIVALRY
Dame picks up in 2030 after USC sticks to early-season date.
By Ryan Kartje
One of college football’s most hallowed rivalries will continue on, after all. After months of back- and-forth negotiations, USC and Notre Dame announced Monday that they’ve agreed to a four-year series begin- ning in 2030 when the Irish will open the season against the Trojans at the Coliseum. The following year, the teams will play in Week 1 at Notre Dame Stadium and the two games after that will be played somewhere be- tween Week 1-3 of the 2032 and 2033 seasons. USC ended up getting ex- actly what it asked of Notre Dame more than a year ago, when the two sides first sat down to talk about renewing their rivalry series. USC’s leadership sought to shift the game to the beginning of the season, first offering to play during Week 0 of the 2027 season. But Notre Dame rejected multiple scheduling offers. That changed in recent weeks, as Notre Dame opted to cancel a home-and-home series with Indiana in 2030 and 2031 to accommodate their longtime rival. “We felt like the best thing for our program was to play this game early in the season,” USC coach Lincoln Riley said. “As I’ve said pub- licly, we’re a part of a confer- ence. We have a conference schedule to answer to. We don’t make our own sched- ule, we don’t choose our own kickoff times. And so with that, we have much less flex- ibility and so it made more sense for us to play this game in a traditional nonconfer- ence window.” USC held strong to its de- mand to play early in the season.

David Banks Associated Press Dodgers in funk as Wrobleski falters again
JUSTIN WROBLESKI gave up four homers for the second straight start in an eventual 10-5 loss to the Cubs, who extended the Dodgers’ losing streak to four games.
By Maddie Lee
CHICAGO — The Dodgers came away from the trade deadline with major wins — a two-time Cy Young Award winner in Tarik Skubal, necessary catching depth with Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia, and a 2025 All-Star in pitcher Kris Bubic. All of that momentum, and the staggering amount of talent on the roster, have overshadowed the Dodgers’ recent poor play. A clean slate against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field was a chance to set a new tone after being swept by the Boston Red Sox at home. Instead,
come out swinging in trades for Ray, Mize
By Greg Beacham
The San Diego Padres’ surge before the trade deadline was enough to persuade general man- ager A.J. Preller to take yet another couple of huge swings at a postsea- son push. The Padres acquired left- hander Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants and right- hander Casey Mize from the De- troit Tigers on Monday, giving up three of their highest-rated pro- spects in deadline trades for two proven starting pitchers. “We’re trying to win,” Preller said. “We don’t apologize for it. We’re trying to win championships. We’re trying to get to the postsea- son, and do it year after year.” San Diego sent right-hander Miguel Mendez and 17-year-old shortstop Joniel Hernandez to San Francisco, which will pay part of Ray’s $25-million salary. The Padres also got infielder Gage Workman from Detroit while giving up left-handers Kash May- field and Jackson Wolf. Ray and Mize can become free agents this winter, so they could wind up being only late-season rentals for San Diego. But after stumbling into the All-Star break at .500 following a 15-28 skid, the Padres (58-54) have won eight of nine to move one game back of the
they lost 10-5 to open the three- game series as their losing streak extended to a season-high tying four games. “This is a playoff-contending team,” manager Dave Roberts said of the Cubs before the game. “We’ve got to play well. Like I said [Sun- day], we got outplayed. Outcom- peted against. So we need to play better. We’re going to play better this series. I don’t know the results, but we will play with more ur- gency.” The Dodgers (69-44) essentially played out that prophecy to begin the game. Against left-hander Matthew Boyd, Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages hit back-to-back sin-
final National League wild-card playoff spot despite a patchwork rotation with an ugly 4.66 ERA. That prompted their ever-ag- gressive general manager to go into buyer mode again, shipping out yet another chunk of his severely de- pleted farm system to fill his obvi- ous need for quality starters. “We’re definitely excited to have them,” infielder Xander Bogaerts said in the Padres’ clubhouse in Ar- izona before they opened a key four-game series against the Di- amondbacks. “Adding two guys of that caliber definitely boosts ev- eryone in the clubhouse.” Ray and Mize should slot in im- mediately for the Padres, who could also get back injured starters Nick Pivetta, Joe Musgrove and Lucas Giolito within the next month. Ray is 10-6 with a 3.08 ERA and 107 strikeouts in 122 2⁄3 innings this season, his third with San Fran- cisco. He has been largely out- standing over the past two months, posting a 1.65 ERA since May while yielding one earned run or fewer in nine of his past 11 starts. Ray is the only starting pitcher to beat the Padres in the past 10 days, throwing six innings of four- hit ball at Petco Park in the Giants’ 4-1 win last Thursday. Ray won the AL Cy Young Award with Toronto in 2021 and had Tommy John surgery in early 2023 while with Se-
gles, and Tommy Edman roped a three-run homer to left. Then Boyd settled in. He got out of the inning with three straight fly- outs — Cubs fans enthusiastically booing Kyle Tucker, who was never expected to re-sign with the team when he hit free agency after one season in Chicago, when he flied out to right field. Dodgers left-handed All-Star Justin Wrobleski struggled. For the second start in a row, he surren- dered four home runs. The first three came with men on base, expediting the damage. And they came from all over the Cubs’ lineup. In the first inning, No. 2 hitter Seiya Suzuki lined a fast-

attle, but has returned to be a de- pendable starter for the Giants, who are retooling late in another disappointing season. “We feel good about the moves we made back from a few weeks ago in the draft, and then now we feel like we’ve got some position play- ers and pitchers that hopefully will have a bright future in San Fran- cisco, but that still remains to be seen,” Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said. Posey wanted Giants fans to know the club isn’t satisfied with the results of recent years. San Francisco has made one playoff ap- pearance since 2016. “I guess you can characterize it
ball into the stands for two runs. The next inning, it was No. 9 hitter Kevin Alcántara who put the Cubs (64-49) ahead with a two-run blast. In the third, cleanup hitter Carson Kelly jumped on a slider for a two- run shot. Wrobleski finally threw a hitless fourth, working around a leadoff walk to briefly stymie the Cubs’ of- fensive push. Then in the fifth, he threw a sinker down the middle to left-handed hitter Michael Busch, who drove it out for a solo homer. Busch, a former Dodger, coinci- dentally is part of the Skubal trade tree. The Cubs acquired him and reliever Yency Almonte for pitch- ing prospect Jackson Ferris and
how you want, I wouldn’t necessar- ily say a rebuild,” Posey said. “Obvi- ously we moved six major league players off of our roster today. I guess the message is we’re not sat- isfied with the way we’ve played this year and the last few years, and we’re trying everything we can to continue to build a product that we can all be excited to come and watch.” Mize, the No. 1 overall draft pick by Detroit in 2018, is 4-6 with a 2.70 ERA and an 0.99 WHIP in 16 starts for the Tigers this season despite managing a groin injury. He over- came Tommy John surgery and be- came an All-Star last season before starting two playoff games last fall.
outfield prospect Zyhir Hope. Hope was part of the trade pack- age for Skubal. Roberts pulled Wrobleski after Busch’s home run. The seven earned runs he gave up tied a sea- son high. But this time, he only pitched 4 1⁄3 innings, compared to the 8 2⁄3 innings he threw against the Atlanta Braves on May 10. The Dodgers countered with a one-run rally in the fourth, and Teoscar Hernández hit a solo home run onto Waveland Avenue in the sixth inning. The Cubs, however, squashed thoughts of a comeback with three runs in the sixth against Edgardo Henriquez and Tanner Scott.

The Padres’ recent success has been driven by an offense that has awoken from its first-half slumber, making up for a starting rotation that was thin because of injuries. San Diego’s only regular start- ing pitchers are Michael King and Walker Buehler, forcing the team to throw three bullpen games per ro- tation turn with Griffin Canning, Randy Vásquez and Germán Márquez anchoring the outings.

‘LA LA LAND’ DREAMS AT THE GREEK
performance in the city where movie musical took flight
ere’s to the ones who dream. The anthemic thesis of “La La Land” — the Ryan Gosling/Emma Stone movie musical celebrating its 10th anniversary — became a moment of musical reality in May when a 21-year-old student in Syd- ney was plucked from the crowd at a live concert of the film during intermission. Sterling Nasa pro- ceeded to stun composer-conductor Justin Hurwitz and the 2,000-person audience with his flawless, im- promptu performance. “Jumping into that concert in Sydney, and having an earpiece and seeing all this, was a little bit crazy,” says Nasa with well-mannered modesty, “but we somehow got through it.” Nasa is sitting backstage at the Greek Theatre be- tween rehearsals, preparing to make his Los Angeles debut. After that remarkable incident, an interna- tional feel-good news story, Hurwitz invited Nasa to fly out and play the entire concert Saturday at the anniversary screening here, in Griffith Park, where many of the film’s iconic scenes were shot.

“He’s playing better than most of the professional pianists I’ve worked with,” says Hurwitz, who regu- larly conducts “La La Land in Concert.” “He’s nailing it,” Hurwitz explains during a break. “Those Sebastian solos, the ones that Ryan Gosling plays in the movie, he’s playing those as perfectly and cleanly as I’ve heard them in a very long time. Very few of the pianists I work with around the world — and they’re all great professionals — but very few of them play it this well in sync with the picture.” Saturday’s rehearsals took place under a scorch- ing sun. Half of the assembled musicians played on the film’s original soundtrack; star trumpet soloist Bijon Watson can even be seen wailing in the Light- house jazz scenes. Sitting in the midst of these veter- an L.A. sessionplayers, Nasa looked focused but con- fident, his youthful face belying his easy, fleet-fin- gered playing.

Mexican and Mexican American film history will be in the spotlight at an upcom- ing exhibition at the Acade- my Museum. “Cinelandia: Celebrating Mexican American Cinema” — scheduled to open in Sep- tember 2027 and likely to co- incide with the onset of His- panic Heritage Month — will span from the silent film era to the present day and ex- amine movies from both sides of the border. The idea for the exhib- ition was first discussed back in 2019 and work on it officially began in late 2022, said Academy Museum as- sociate curator Sophia Ser- rano. “It grew from a previous research and programming project we did as part of the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time: Los Angeles x Latin America initiative, before we opened the Acade- my Museum in 2021,” Ser- rano said.

This story includes spoil- ers for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” It’s been nearly five years since Spider-Man’s last big- screen adventure, but your friendly neighborhood web- slinger is finally back. Directed by Destin Dan- iel Cretton, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” in theaters now, follows a Peter Parker (Tom Holland) who no long- er has much of a life outside of his vigilante crime-fight- ing and keeping tabs on his loved ones (Zendaya, Jacob Batalon) from afar. The movie’s biggest re- veal involves the identity of the villain played by Sadie Sink — and plenty of ques- tions remain about her fu- ture and what her appear- ance means for a certain fan- favorite mutant superhero team. But although much has changed for the Marvel Cin- ematic Universe in the years since the 2021 release of “Spi- der-Man: No Way Home,” one tradition remains: un- packing the meaning of an installment’s post-credits scene. “Brand New Day” fea- tures just one brief end-cred-

its sequence to tease what’s next for Spidey. Here’s how it connects to upcoming MCU install- ments “Avengers: Dooms- day” and “Secret Wars.”
What happens in the ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ post-credits scene? The bonus footage shown after the full credits of “Spi- der-Man: Brand New Day” roll is more of a tease than a proper scene. The brief stinger involves the Spider-Man tracking app created by Ned, which allows users to log any sight- ings of the webslinger. The Spidey Tracker map screen shown in the post- credits tag at first shows the friendly neighborhood hero’s location as being “un- known” at that moment. The map then zooms out of New York and away from Earth before the Spider- Man icon indicates he has been spotted somewhere in outer space.
Does that mean Spider-Man is returning for ‘Doomsday’? Maybe! The expansive cast list for “Avengers: Doomsday” includes members of the Avengers past and present, the Fantastic Four, the X- Men and many others, but one glaring omission has

Along with curator Ser- rano, “Cinelandia” is guided by a 12-person advisory panel: cartoonist Lalo Al- caraz, UC Santa Cruz pro- fessor emeritus Rosa-Linda Fregoso, LACMA curator and head of contemporary art Rita Gonzalez, ani- mator-director Jorge R.

been Tom Holland as Spi- der-Man. It’s possible that the se- cretive Marvel has stayed mum just to keep his ap- pearance a surprise and Spi- dey will not only appear but also join some of the other heroes — like the Fantastic Four, who have a spaceship — as they venture out to somewhere in space. It seems unlikely that Marvel would keep Spider- Man’s involvement in “Doomsday” a secret for so long only to spill the beans without fanfare in a brief post-credits stinger, though.
Will Spider-Man be in ‘Secret Wars’?
Probably? Not much is known about “Doomsday’s” follow-up, “Avengers: Secret Wars,” which is reportedly sched- uled to start filming “soon.” Throughout the “Brand New Day” press tour, Hol- land has maintained that he knows absolutely nothing about the upcoming movie. But “Secret Wars” gets its name from a couple of Mar- vel comic book storylines that involve various heroes being pitted against each other. Although MCU works are usually not direct adapt- ations, Spider-Man was in- volved in both comic crossovers. The 2015 “Secret Wars” story featured some plotting by Doctor Doom and saw multiverses collide, be de-

Latino, Serrano noted that part of the exhibition’s aim is to connect to the millions of Latinos in the county and show how they’ve been criti- cal in informing the cultural landscape of L.A. “Mexican American cine- ma is … a big part of Los An- geles’ history,” Serrano said. “We want this exhibition to connect with the broader Los Angeles community, as well as illuminate the history behind many of the beloved films from Mexican Ameri- can and Mexican filmmak- ers. The exhibition is de- signed to offer something for everyone and bring people of all ages and backgrounds to- gether to celebrate this im- portant cultural heritage.” As with previous exhib- itions centered on minority populations, the Academy Museum won’t be shying away from the uncomfort- able truths around Latinos in Hollywood — from the demographic’s stereotypical portrayals in film to its un-
stroyed and merge. During the crossover, the main continuity’s Spider-Man teamed up with another di- mension’s Spidey — Miles Morales — who then ended up moving to the main Mar- vel universe in the event’s aftermath. Spider-Man also played a part in the very first “Secret Wars” crossover in the 1980s. In this story, various heroes were plucked away from their usual haunts by a mys- terious powerful being and pitted against similarly as- sembled villains (including Doctor Doom). It was dur- ing this crossover that Spi- der-Man first donned the sentient black suit that would become known as Venom. Both “Secret Wars” series saw characters displaced onto a patchwork planet called Battleworld. The Spi- dey Tracker info from the “Brand New Day” post-cred- its scene could be teasing that’s where Spider-Man will eventually land.
What do we know for sure?
“Brand New Day” con- cludes with the message “Spider-Man will return.” Fans will just have to wait to see when, where and which Spider-Man will be involved. “Avengers: Doomsday” is slated to hit theaters Dec. 18, while “Secret Wars” is sched- uled for a Dec. 17, 2027, re- lease.
derrepresentation in the industry that continues to this day. “Many of the films and artists featured in the exhib- ition draw attention to or push against these chal- lenges in a variety of ways,” Serrano said. “A guiding principle of the exhibition is foregrounding the voices of film artists themselves via interviews, written quotes, and guest curations and col- laborations alongside the hundreds of original objects that will go on display, and this aims to tell an earnest and engaging story about this history.” “We are also aiming to show how vast the contrib- utions of Mexican American artists are, and these histo- ries are often unknown or underrecognized. It’s es- sential that the exhibition celebrates these moments of impact and influence in a dy- namic and educational man- ner.” “Cinelandia” isn’t the

Ariana Grande is finally set to take a break from the public eye, after years of pro- moting her two “Wicked” films, releasing new music, launching her latest tour and facing mounting scru- tiny over her appearance. A representative for the Grammy-winning and Os- car-nominated star on Sun- day announced Grande’s upcoming “step back from visibility” in a statement shared with multiple out- lets. Grande, the rep said, will retreat after the sun sets on her Eternal Sunshine tour Sept. 1. “She looks for- ward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily,” the statement said. Grande will then take “a much-deserved break from public-facing work and ap- pearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.” The statement did not delve any deeper about any controversies surround- ing Grande, 33, but fans and critics of the singer have voiced continued concern online about her appear- ance and apparent weight loss since her debut as Glinda in 2024’s “Wicked: Part 1.” The scrutiny over Grande’s body, and that of her co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Michelle Yeoh, intensi- fied in 2025 amid the press tour and promotion for “Wicked: Part 2.”

museum’s first foray into identity-based exhibitions centered on underrepre- sented populations. In 2022 the museum opened “Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971,” which highlighted the work of Black creatives from filmmaking’s early days through the civil rights movement. The showcase — which closed in April 2023 — tackled such themes as the representation of Black peo- ple in early cinema (1897- 1915), the era of “race films” made by Black filmmakers for Black audiences (1910s-1940s), musical films and stories born of the civil rights movement. The museum’s ongoing showcase, titled “Holly- woodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital,” explores the sto- ries of the Jewish filmmakers and studio founders who helped cement the L.A. area as the world capital of enter- tainment.
Grande faced fresh bouts of body criticism and con- cern amid the launch of her Eternal Sunshine tour in Oakland earlier this sum- mer, and most recently, after the release of her “Petal” music video over the week- end. Additionally, tabloids and other outlets have kept close tabs on her romantic relationships, including her reunions with ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, following a re- ported split with “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater. “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her,” the rep said in the statement. “She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.” A source told People, which broke the news of Grande’s plans to step back, that the singer “performs a very physical show, and there is a lot of athleticism involved.” The source added that the singer “performs healthily and successfully at a very high level night after night.” While Grande seeks to close out her Eternal Sun- shine tour with a sold-out show in London, she has al- ready pulled the plug on her upcoming performances in the West End revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Sun- day in the Park With George” opposite her “Wick- ed” love interest Jonathan Bailey. The production was set to open at the Barbican Centre in London next sum- mer.

Loosely inspired by the 1987 neo-noir “Black Wid- ow,” which starred Theresa Russell as a serial killer who marries and poisons wealthy men for their inher- itances, and Debra Winger as the investigator obsessed with tracking her down, the Hulu crime drama deepens the cat-and-mouse dynam- ic. It follows an FBI rookie and her search for a female serial killer seeking venge- ance against the men who abused her as a teenager. And still, it manages to find moments of levity. The first four episodes are currently streaming, with new epi- sodes released every Monday until the finale Aug. 31. “I’ve just been loving trying different things with my writing,” Meriwether told me during a recent video call. “When this came up, I was like, ‘Oh, wow, a crime thriller, a serial killer show.’ It was so different than what I’d done before. It’s like the shows that I love, so I was excited to try to write one, somewhat naiv- ely. It’s funny because I would always roll my eyes a little bit when drama writers thought they could write comedy and then I found myself in the flip side of that being like, ‘Oh, this is so hard.’ ” “Furious” feels like a crime story for the Epstein age. The eight-episode psychological thriller stars Emmy Rossum as Alice Black, a troubled rookie FBI agent who left her job as an NYPD detective to escape a violent and traumatic rela- tionship with a fellow cop. She gets enlisted to help track down a female serial killer, played by Lola Petti- crew, whose targets are the wealthy men who exploited and trafficked her for sex. But the series isn’t as con- cerned with its ripped-from- the-headlines relevance. In our interview, Meri- wether discussed what she was interested in unpacking in TV’s latest addition to the crime drama genre, contrib- uting to the red flag roles played by Jake Lacy — and the “New Girl” reboot dis- course that’s become its own comedy.
The series is loosely based on the “Black Widow” film. But how much did current events, specifically stories surrounding Jeffrey Ep- stein and the powerful men in his orbit, inform what or how you wanted to explore here? It really did start as a “Black Widow” adaptation. This female serial killer and this female FBI agent in this

cat-and-mouse game that has this very weird third act, where they just end up hanging out together on a beach, being friends. I loved that part of it. In the midst of this very exciting female killer-female FBI agent crime movie, there was this story about two women connecting who don’t have anybody else really in their lives to connect with. I dug into that and quickly saw that if the serial killer was just a black widow like she is in the movie, that it wasn’t going to give me enough story for eight episodes. I did a lot of research about real-life female serial killers, which are pretty rare. Fe- male serial killers are al- most all victims of horrible violence at different times in their lives. That really got me going, OK, what does it mean if you’re a victim of violence and you start being a perpetrator of violence? What are the things that we can forgive and understand, and what are the things that we can’t? And yes, when I looked out into the wider world and current events and what I was thinking and feeling, I definitely scooped up a lot of a lot of stories that are out there. But it’s not the story of a specific predator. There’s a lot to choose from right now. It should feel relevant. It should have echoes of what’s going on out there. But I wanted the focus to be on these charac- ters, not the men that did these acts.
The parallels between Alice and Catherine — what they each have survived and the different ways they deal with it — come into focus. What were you interested in exploring about the traumatic and lingering effects of abuse through these two women? Initially, when we were casting Catherine, the ques- tion of age came up because all of my writer instincts were like, “Oh well, we need to have Catherine be very young and closer to when she was actually a victim of this predator.” But as I started thinking about it, I was like, I don’t think we’ve seen as many stories about the long-term effects of this violence. There’s no flash- backs in the show. I’m not interested in showing what was done to either one of them [Catherine and Alice]. I really was interested in the aftereffects. I spoke to a social worker, a psychologist and a traf- ficking victim, which was one of the hardest conversa- tions I’ve ever had, and also a beautiful conversation. Her name is Jay Benke, and she has an organization that helps people that have been trafficked. She made a really interesting point that stuck with me, which is that when these FBI agents and law enforcement officials build
“DTF St. Louis,” the best limited series of the season, from the ceremony.

cases, they’re looking at putting the traffickers in jail; they’re not looking at what the people who have been trafficked need for their lives to heal. There’s also an amazing website that a lawyer pointed me to called thelifestory.org, which is videos from differ- ent people who’ve been trafficked telling their story — from their childhood, all the way through having been trafficked and then coming out — and it’s in the shape of a circle. Those two resources for me were in- credible. On the Alice side of things, we tend to think of the experience of being a [domestic violence] victim as being much more cut and dry than it is for a lot of people. The victim’s rela- tionship with violence and love is very complicated and violence and intimacy can become linked in their brain. It was something that I started to learn about in my research for “Dying for Sex” and continued on with “Furious.”
We see these very girly things, stickers and gem- stones, that Catherine holds onto. It reminds us of her emotional or mental stasis. I don’t know what Lola would say about this, but my thought about the char- acter of Catherine was she was a bit trapped. The choice to go on the path of vengeance feels like a very active choice, but in some ways it’s really limited. It makes your whole life about what happened to you. I feel like Catherine’s story is about breaking out of that trap a little bit, almost try- ing to give her character a chance to grow up in some ways. That was definitely a struggle for me going into this because I was like, how am I going to give a serial killer an emotional arc? Catherine is trapped and needs to put the pieces of her memory and her life together in order to move

forward. The thing I love in Epi- sode 3 is the bag that Cath- erine puts on the bed. That was a big breakthrough for me for Catherine’s charac- ter in that her history is something that she’s had to piece together and hold on to, and there’s big gaps in her memory, so she holds on to these material objects in order to just feel like she’s a person. Then in looking at Alice’s character, we felt like she was the opposite in a lot of ways. She had run out of her life with Marshall and [did] not really bring that much. Her whole life is her job; her apartment is really bare.

playing toxic dudes who seem like nice guys? I haven’t seen “All Her Fault” yet — it’s something that I really need to see. He’s extraordinary in the show [“Furious”], and I had a long conversation with him before he signed on. It’s a very tricky part to play. It was very important to me throughout the process that none of the characters were easily put into bad or good categories — hopefully, we’re constantly making the audience question their feelings and their judg- ments about people. There’s an incredible documentary called “A Better Man” that is impossible to find. I had to pay like $50 to rent it. It’s this couple that dated when they were in high school, and he was abusive toward her. She got out of the situa- tion, and they’re coming back in their 30s, meeting
to get dressed up two week- ends in a row? (First-world problems, I know.) “It really did manifest as a disinvite for all these peo- ple,” says one awards con- sultant who, like other sources for this story, re- quested anonymity in order to speak candidly about the move. “Had the Television Academy done it before nominations came out, then at least people’s expecta- tions would have been man- aged. But now it’s sort of like you got invited to the party and now you can’t come. It’s not a very nice feeling.” Why did the TV Academy wait to shift the categories until after the nominations were announced? Why focus on limited series and not, say, spread the cuts across drama and comedy catego- ries too? Are these changes permanent? I asked these questions to the Television Academy and the answers were, basi- cally: We announced as soon as possible. We’re going to sidestep that second query. And we’ll see how it goes! What this comes down to is a desire to create a show that, in the words of a TV Academy spokesperson, is “driven by the need to inno- vate while delivering a three- hour broadcast, keeping au- dience expectations and the creative structure of the cer- emony in mind.” Translation: fewer awards, fewer speeches, more throwback segments that have a chance to go viral and get people talking. The Oscars tried this in 2022, moving eight catego- ries off the telecast, handing them out before the broad-
again and talking about what happened. It’s an unbelievable documentary. I had Jake watch it because I really wanted him to think about Marshall as a human. He really contributed to that, and you can see it in his performance. [Jake’s] a very nice guy.
You know I can’t let you go without mentioning this “New Girl” reboot — or at least the talk of it. It’s be- come a bit at this point — Lamorne Morris and Jake Johnson pointing fingers at each other. You posted a video on Instagram con- fessing to sending explicit messages that have caused some tension. In some ways, I feel like the videos and the inter- views and stuff is maybe better than a reboot. If we can see that as the reboot, maybe that would be good for everybody. [The video] came from me getting this question from journalists during the [“Furious”] junket, It was like Hour 8 of the junket, and my brain just disappeared, and I started talking like a stream of consciousness — like I don’t have any more stories to tell or something. And then I went home that night and texted the cast and I was like, “I really messed up the question.” It had been this running joke on our text threads about how they just constantly blame each other, but a lot of the times they blame me like I’m the one that’s like holding up the reboot. I find it so an- noying, but then I like an- swered this question in a horrible way, and then I was like, “Oh, I am going to be the one who has to answer to this.”
If it does happen, it’s going to be a really dark “New Girl” reboot, given the tone of recent projects. [Laughs] I don’t even know if fans would want what would come out of me at this point.
Last question: What have you’ve watched recently that you’re recommending to everyone? I love “Taskmaster” [YouTube, Pluto TV]. It’s the thing that brings me joy when I need it and so I al- ways recommend that to everybody — but with the caveat that you have to love British humor. If you love joy and British humor, I highly recommend “Taskmaster.” And Kumail [Nanjiani] was on this last season, which was like really fun. I’m very behind. “Wid- ow’s Bay” [Apple TV] is No. 1on my list. I need to watch it. I love Katie [Dippold, the show’s creator] so much.

cast began. Members hated the idea and order was restored the following year with all 23 awards being pre- sented during the live tele- cast. (In 2019, when the mo- tion picture academy an- nounced a similar move, say- ing that four categories would be handed out during commercial breaks, the blowback was so fierce that the decision was almost im- mediately reversed.) Emmy ratings were up 8% last year, the highest since 2021. An average of 7.42 million viewers watched. Not NFL numbers, but a continued indication that the audience level for major awards ceremonies has sta- bilized after steep declines during the COVID-19 pan- demic. Still, there is a feeling among some that awards shows need to adapt and pick up the pace in a time when viewers’ attention spans have shortened. Is there an appetite for a three- hour ceremony when you can simply watch the high- lights the next day? “If people don’t want to see actors winning awards, then the days of televised awards shows should just be over,” gripes another Emmy consultant. One thing that might be over — or at least greatly di- minished — will be submis- sions for the supporting act- ing categories for limited se- ries/movie next year if the academy makes this revi- sion permanent. “I think everyone will be going lead,” one network executive joked, “even if they have just five minutes an epi- sode.”

“I’ve heard some mis- takes called ‘expert errors,’ ” a club player said to me. “I thought experts didn’t make errors; that’s why they’re ex- perts.” “Everybody makes er- rors,” I said. “An expert will make few technical errors, but anyone can have a blind spot.” Having overcalled in spades, today’s West led the king against four hearts. South, reputedly an expert, put up dummy’s ace — and East ruffed and led a dia- mond. South took the ace, drew trumps and led a spade, but West played low. Dummy’s nine won, but South wound up losing a spade, a ruff, a diamond and a club.
Dear Eric: This question may be way off base, but is there a way to find out if a Celebration of Life is going to be held? A very dear friend passed away last fall and was laid to rest. Sadly, nobody contacted me as to when the burial was because I had to move from our home. I’m trying to move on, but closure may be affecting me. I have no ill will against any- one. I just want to know if there is a gathering coming up. I’m probably grasping at straws here. Thank you for listening. Sad and Missing Him
8/4/26
Dear Missing Him: I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. Funerals and Cele- brations of Life can help us to start to find closure when we’re in grief. Without them, the grief can be harder to navigate. This isn’t to say it will always be there, or that you don’t have any options, however. First, reach out to your friends to find out if there is a gathering planned or, if there was already a gather- ing, if there’s a program or a video or a remembrance website you can visit to share your feelings and memories of the deceased. It’s not inappropriate to ask, especially since you’ve moved away. People will understand that you’re try- ing to process your grief and honor your friend.

South lost focus at Trick One; dummy must play a low spade. West next leads a low spade: nine, ruff by East. South can win the diamond return, draw trumps, lead a spade to dummy’s jack and take the ace for 10 tricks. South would have done well to raise North’s 1NT to 3NT. South could count eight tricks in his own hand, and surely North would pro- duce one more. Maybe South was really no expert. You hold: ♠None ♥10 7 5 3 ♦Q 10 8 6 2 ♣K 9 8 4.

If there isn’t something planned, consider planning something yourself. It doesn’t have to be large. It could be as simple as having friends over to your place, or meeting in a park or coffee shop, and sharing stories about your friend. Commu- nity and commemoration are the most important as- pects here. It doesn’t have to be formal; it just has to be an opportunity for you and your friends to feel less alone as you process your grief.
Dear Eric: I have a friend who is generally wonderful and well-meaning but can be an exasperating conversa- tionalist. She is rather full of herself — her activities, her opinions, her experiences, her history — and loves to talk endlessly about all things “her.” She is intense, goes on and on, adds unnecessary details, and hardly takes a breath. She is either terrible at reading the room or sim- ply doesn’t care. In addition, she is only interested in other peoples’ lives or activ- ities so that she can give her opinion on the same, so it again becomes about her.

assuming she doesn’t realize what she’s doing. It could be an issue with attention or an eagerness to entertain that’s going sideways. In that case, you could point it out gently when it happens. “We’ve been talking about [x] for a bit. I’d like to share some- thing. Can we switch gears?” Gauge her response to redi- rects like this. She may be happy to talk about some- thing else with you. Or she might be resistant to it. If that’s the case, you might need to be more di- rect. It will be more effective to talk about her habits in the context of your friend- ship rather than casting a wide net over her behavior with everyone. Have a conversation about how the two of you talk and what aspects of it you want to be different. Go in with suggestions that are proactive, like, “it would mean a lot if you could ask me about [x] more. Do you think you could do that?” Part of this may simply be how she’s built. But if it’s rubbing you the wrong way, it’s good to say something so that you can maintain the friendship. She may not to- tally change her ways in ev- ery conversation, but that’s not your job to fix. What you can work on is the way that you two communicate so that you both feel heard.

years because of legal com- plications with the story rights, the movie is a tart slice of pre-Code melo- drama starring an emotion- swept Joan Crawford as an heiress caught between her former lover and the man she wants to start a new life with. Besides this screening at the Aero (and another at the Frida in September), the new 4K restoration is also now available on Blu- ray, meaning the film has gone from being essentially unwatchable to sitting on your shelf in a matter of months. — Mark Olsen
‘The Prestige’ Academy Museum, Aug. 10 A chestnut from Christo- pher Nolan’s pre-billion- grossing phase, this 2006 thriller represents the peak of the filmmaker’s circular plotting and Michael Caine monologuing. The story concerns dueling magicians in the 1890s, but don’t let that put you off. Spooky intensity is summoned by Christian Bale, Hugh Jack- man, Scarlett Johansson and one highly symbolic caged bird, while the movie as a whole quietly scrapes the far edge of metaphysical dread. Even if it throws you once or twice, you can luxu- riate in the performance of David Bowie as mysterious inventor Nikola Tesla: one stranger from another land playing another. — Joshua Rothkopf

He also plays the bag- pipes, and has played with 300 bagpipers for 10,000 peo- ple at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edin- burgh Castle. “I’ve always had a bit of an inkling that I’d love to be a musician,” Nasa says, “or if I can find some opportunity in the artistic world, or in musical theater or in music, that I would love too.

Turning trash into treasure, Diane Lane dives so deeply into the interiority of a wealthy married woman conducting a fling, her reveries brought her serious acclaim, major critics awards and an Oscar nomination (which she shouldn’t have lost to Nicole Kidman’s fake nose in “The Hours”). At this screening, Lyne will have a conversa- tion with podcaster Karina Longworth, at which he’ll discuss his one-of-a-kind Hollywood journey. — J.R.

(The hired pianist had to leave at intermission.) Nasa says he thinks Austral- ians were inclined to root for an underdog — “the audi- ence that night really just wanted it to work” — but for this big L.A. moment, “I think now there’s obviously a bit more of an expecta- tion.” As the twilight concert began, Hurwitz addressed the sold-out Greek Theatre — a lively crowd filled with yellow dresses — and sur- prised them by announcing that the “kid from Sydney” was here to play the entire show.

PIANIST Sterling Nasa, left, and composer-conductor Justin Hurwitz take a bow during a live performance of “La La Land.” It was Nasa’s debut of sorts in L.A.
about it, turning movies into intimate, you-are-there snapshots of their specific time and place. That’s the case with Megan Griffiths’ 2011 drama, which captures the damp, late-night loneli- ness of the Pacific North- west. With a captivating lead performance by Amy Seimetz, the film looks at the tribulations of a truck stop waitress working the late shift. It will get a 15th anniversary screening at Vidiots with Griffiths, Seimetz and cast members Scoot McNairy and Ross Partridge there for a Q&A moderated by Mark Du- plass. It is particularly meaningful to see such a modest, undersung movie get the full-blown anniver- sary treatment. — M.O.
‘Dangerous Liaisons’
Vidiots, Aug. 21 It’s never a bad time to return to Glenn Close’s vicious, magisterial turn in Stephen Frears’ 1988 period drama, better known for inspiring “Cruel Intentions.” But go back to the original, which is somehow fresher and younger. Consider it homework for a comeback that’s just about to unspool: John Malkovich, sure to dominate awards discus- sion this fall for “Wild Horse Nine,” should have won everything for his perform- ance as Valmont, a charac- ter who is, by turns, venge- ful, toying and, at the last possible second, open- hearted. “It’s beyond my control,” he repeats, and you believe him. — J.R.

TOM CRUISE in Brad Bird’s “Ghost Protocol”
RYAN O’NEAL and Isabelle Adjani in “The Driver.”
Bird will take part in a virtual Q&A with the hosts of the “Mission: Impos- sible”-focused podcast “Light the Fuse.” The fourth film in the franchise, “Ghost Protocol” helped reset the template for the globe- hopping adventures of Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, add- ing an undercurrent of self-aware comedy. This time out, Cruise climbs the side of the world’s tallest building and tries to outrun a sandstorm. (And his hair in this one is particularly good, too.) The 35mm screening is part of the American Cinematheque’s “Friend of the Fest” series, in which podcasters (includ- ing our own Amy Nicholson) select some of their favorite movies. This year’s lineup is particularly exciting. — M.O.
‘The Ten Commandments’
Academy Museum, Aug. 22 For anyone yearning for more old-school epic-scaled filming after seeing “The Odyssey,” the Academy Museum has plenty in store for you. As part of a series spotlighting the VistaVision process — the Imax of its day that has become au currant again thanks to

contemporary filmmakers such as Paul Thomas An- derson — there will be a screening of Cecil B. De- Mille’s 1956 biblical saga featuring Charlton Heston as Moses and the still-daz- zling spectacle of the part- ing of the Red Sea. Other films screening in genuine VistaVision include “Gun- fight at the O.K. Corral” and “White Christmas,” which works just as well in August. — M.O.
‘The Driver’ Vista, Aug. 28, 29 Another legendary movie that has gone from inacces- sible to easier to see, Walter Hill’s 1978 nighttime drama reduces the crime thriller to its spare, existential es- sence. With Ryan O’Neal as an icy getaway driver, Isa- belle Adjani as his enig- matic accomplice and Bruce Dern as a skeevy cop, the film has a relentlessly ratcheting tension and plenty of exciting spins around obscure corners of Los Angeles. The movie was an acknowledged influence on the nocturnal meander- ings of “Drive,” and the experience of cruising home after one of these two mid- night 35mm screenings at the Vista will be astonish- ing. — M.O.
woman in front of me watched his hands, perfectly aligned with Gosling’s, with her jaw dropped. Nasa never missed a note, and he re- ceived another outsized ova- tion after the rousing end credits. “I’ve thought a lot about opportunity, and how there’s so much talent in the world,” says Hurwitz, re- flecting on the moment in Sydney. “And there’s also so much lost talent in the world, talent that just isn’t realized. And I just love that there was this talented guy, who’s a great musician, but he was in school studying something else — because he didn’t know if he could or should go into music. And then there was this opportu- nity, and he took it, and he showed everybody — and he showed himself — that he can do it.” Nasa says he’s not sure what he’ll do now that he’s graduated, but one thing he’s interested in is compos- ing for musical theater — or possibly scoring films.
