可疑的前首席救生员的
绿色浪潮 62名退休人员获得 $200,000

这位“海滩之王”仅仅是冰山一角。 数据显示，包括双重领取福利的前首席救生员彼得·斯坦在内的 62 名政府退休人员，去年从该市退休系统中提取的养老金金额至少达 $200,000。
帝国公共政策中心的 SeeThroughNY 网站报告称，在 2025 年期间，彼得·斯坦高达 $570,000 的养老金领取额在纽约市雇员退休系统中位居首位（不含补发工资）。
数据显示，去年，包括彼得·斯坦在内的数十名高薪领取者，以及更多普通城市退休人员，共计领取了近 62 亿美元 十亿由纳税人出资的款项。
“这些令人瞠目结舌的支出反映了一个根本性崩溃的系统，而不仅仅是个人的不端行为，”帝国公共政策中心的数据经理阿卜杜拉·阿尔·拉菲表示，“在加班费激增和传统福利规则的影响下，纽约的养老金设计是以牺牲公众利益为代价，来奖励福利套利。”
除彼得·斯坦之外，最高养老金被一群前公务员分走，其中包括一名资深检察官和一名退休已久的医生。根据数据，他们分别是：
彼得·斯坦在其他顶级退休收入者中脱颖而出的原因有几点。
首先，彼得·斯坦去年才退休，却依然名列榜首。
根据帝国公共政策中心的数据，在 2025 年期间领取首个全年度养老金的退休人员中，只有 9 人领取金额超过 $200,000, 且高于 $200。数据显示，约有 490 人领取了六位数的款项。
此外，他长期因为双重职业而面临公众质疑：他同时担任全职体育老师和首席救生员，因此获得了“海滩之王”的绰号。
数据显示，去年“全职业”城市退休人员的平均养老金为 $62,582。 但六位数养老金领取者的数量已翻倍，从 2020 年期间的约 1,600 人增加到去年的 3,200 人。 数据显示，斯坦（Stein）的养老金数额仅次于鲁克拉迪亚·里迪克（Lucradia Riddick），后者是一名儿童服务管理局的退休人员，收到了一笔 $627,886 的款项。 然而，里迪克的这笔款项中包含了约 $404,000 的补发工资。 去年城市工作人员约 $6 亿的养老金支出，与该州最大的退休系统支付的近 $17 亿相比简直微不足道。
当纳税人为其买单时，生活就像在沙滩上度假一样惬意。 根据非营利政府监督机构帝国公共政策中心的数据，一位被昵称为“海滩之王”的备受争议的前大苹果城首席城市救生员，去年领取了高达 $570,419 的惊人养老金。
前首席救生员兼工会头目 彼得·斯坦 由纳税人资助的“金色降落伞”在他长期的双重职业生涯之后到来，在此期间他还在布鲁克林全职担任一名中学体育教师——他在接受市调查局调查期间决定退休。 斯坦，81, 在三十年间持有两份全职城市工作，他因这种不寻常但合法的安排而受到教育委员会的调查——调查人员深入挖掘，以确定他是否在逃避责任。该调查最终没有结果。 这位被指责为“大卫·哈塞尔霍夫”（David Hustlehoff）的男子在 60 多年前开始巡逻海滩，并且在 40 多年时间里担任救生员主管工会——37, 号区议会 (工会) 508分会的主席。 他被称为“海滩之王”，并被指控不仅控制着自己的工会，还控制着另一个独立的救生员工会——461分会。
记录显示，斯坦在工作 32 年后于 2004 年以教师身份退休，在退休前一年他领取了 $77,974。多年来，他还领导其学校的教师工会分会。 但斯坦在随后的二十年里继续担任首席救生员，其任期内出现了一系列管理不善的指控，包括被指未能对性骚扰指控采取行动以及采取报复措施。 斯坦最终成为了 2020 年《纽约》杂志一篇人物报道的中心，该报道将“海滩之王”与特威德老板（Boss Tweed）相比，称他依赖于“一套基于庇护、权力掮客和恐吓的剧本”。 这位被指责为“海滩懒汉”的人其历史可以追溯到 1964, 年，当时他立即参与到工会活动中，并与 37号区议会 (工会) 强大的负责人维克多·戈特鲍姆（Victor Gotbaum）结交。 戈特鲍姆说服救生员和主管加入 DC 37，创建了两个新分会——为救生员主管设立的 508分会和为救生员设立的 461分会。 斯坦是负责海滩和泳池的人。 但多年来的投诉使得城市不得不对公园局救生员部门及工会内部的利益冲突和管理不善指控展开调查，而斯坦正是权力中心。 调查局表示，在 20 世纪 90 年代的一次调查中发现了“管理不善、工会干扰以及记录缺失”。 但调查局表示，增强问责制的建议并未得到执行。 调查局在 2021 年发布了一份针对救生员部门的严厉报告，称斯坦“抵制管理变革”。
惊人的纳税人资助款项
“海滩”之利： 据一家非营利政府监督机构称，前首席救生员兼工会头目彼得·斯坦（Peter Stein，左），绰号“海滩之王”，去年领取了令人咋舌的 $570,419 退休金。斯坦拒绝就该报告发表评论，但一名驾驶着一辆豪华梅赛德斯（见下图）、出现在斯坦长岛家中（见上图）外的女性表示：“我知道你们为什么来这儿。”
斯坦并未配合调查。 调查局 (DOI) 表示：“救生员部门的结构、历史和文化揭示了其管理和问责机制中的系统性功能障碍。” “一名高级 DPR 官员将救生员部门描述为 DPR 管理层的‘黑匣子’。一些证人还描述称，工会，特别是其中一个本地救生员工会的主席彼得·斯坦，抵制管理层变革。”
斯坦去年究竟是如何拿到 $570,000 退休金的尚不明确。 他在 2023 年的常规总薪资最高为 $121,000，随后在 2024 年为 $120,475。 他在 2025 年获得了 $74,440 的薪水，当时他仅工作了部分年份——但他又领取了 $205,599 的“其他薪酬”，使其全年的总收入激增至 $280,000。 他在 2023 年的总收入为 $213,473，2024 年为 $196,805。
斯坦拒绝发表评论。 周日，一名驾驶着挂有个性牌照 “wow e” 的梅赛德斯汽车出现在斯坦家外的女性，将一名《纽约邮报》记者招至车窗边，并说道 “赶紧放弃吧”。她拒绝发表评论，并表示 “我知道你们为什么来这儿”，随后翻了个白眼开车离去。
帝国公共政策中心的 阿卜杜拉·阿尔·拉菲 表示，法律允许政府雇员“叠加多份退休金”或在职业末期累积加班费，而像斯坦这样的员工“如果不充分利用，将是不明智的”。 “彼得·斯坦的退休金极其离谱，但这并非个例，因为我们每年在纽约的各种退休金系统中都会注意到如此高额的退休金，”阿尔·拉菲说。“这是纽约公共退休金系统设计方式的直接结果。” “最终，沉重的负担落在州和当地的纳税人身上，他们不得不资助不断膨胀的长期负债，这挤占了公共服务资源。”
阿尔·拉菲表示，在强大的公共雇员工会的要求下，霍克尔州长和州议会采取的行动削弱了旨在控制退休金成本的措施。 今年，由民主党控制的州政府在很大程度上撤销了第 6 级 (Tier 6) 改革。此前该改革削减了 2012 年之后雇用的公共部门工作人员的退休金福利，并提高了缴费比例，将其退休年龄从 55 岁提高到 62 岁。 今年对第 6 级的撤销，将教师和其他教育工作者的退休年龄降低回 58 岁（需服务满 30 年）。它还减少了雇员的缴费，转而将负担交给纳税人和地方政府。 帝国公共政策中心的代表表示，这一举动“只会让后代面临更严重的问题”。
退休人员总数在过去五年中仅增长了 7% —— 从 2020 年的 150,563 人增加到 2025 年的 160,982 人。 但退休金总福利从 49.9 亿美元 billion 增长了 24%，达到 61.8 亿美元 billion。 在此期间，领取六位数退休金的人数从 2020 年的 1,609 人增加到 3,219 人，翻了一番。 帝国公共政策中心指出，值得注意的是，纽约的退休金领取不受州和当地所得税的限制。 例如，一名领取 $60,000 退休金的退休人员将节省约 $4,586 或 7.64% 的州和当地所得税。

一项新研究显示，市长 Mamdani 的全民育儿计划成本将比他宣传的高出 50%。
根据纽约市事务中心（Center for New York City Affairs，一家隶属于新学院的非党派研究机构）的报告，该拟议计划预计每年将花费高达 90 亿美元 billion，每名儿童的平均成本约为 $27,000, 根据该报告。
周一发布的这份报告指出：“纽约市每年预计需要 $8.7 到 93 亿美元 billion 来资助全民育儿计划。”
这比市长此前对其雄心勃勃的全民免费育儿计划所预估的成本高出了 30 亿美元 billion。
这位市长在竞选期间承诺，无论家庭收入如何，为 6 周至 5 岁儿童提供免费育儿服务的计划每年将花费约 60 亿美元 billion，且资金将通过向该州最富有的纳税人征税来筹集。
研究中发现的 30 亿美元 billion 缺口在很大程度上与教师薪资有关。纽约市事务中心估计将需要雇佣约 23,000 名新的育儿工作者，主要负责照顾婴儿和 3 岁以下儿童。
研究人员预测，该市还需要为学前班（pre-K）年龄之前的儿童创造约 10,000 个新席位。
报告指出，在 2025 财年，该市预算为 25 亿美元 billion，但最终在育儿服务上花费了 30 亿美元.8 billion。
研究人员写道：“这标志着服务交付成本经常被低估。因此，该市将需要额外确定至少 $4.9 到 55 亿美元 billion，以维持一个完全全民化的系统。”
报告称，如果没有州政府和联邦政府的大力支持，推行该计划基本上是不可能的。
市长办公室尚未说明除了向富人征税和请求奥尔巴尼（Albany）提供更多资金外，计划如何支付该项目的费用。
霍克尔州长已经向 Mamdani 承诺提供 12 亿美元 billion，用于在某些社区启动该计划，并表示她计划继续提供资金。
该市目前为 3 岁和 4 岁儿童提供免费学前班，并从今年秋天起为 2 岁儿童提供有限的席位。
霍克尔在 1 月份表示，资金将来自“现有”的州收入，而非新税收。她当时表示，Mamdani 及其社会主义支持者建议的向富人征税方案不在考虑之列。
市长办公室尚未发布该计划的官方成本模型，并拒绝就 90 亿美元 billion 这一数字发表评论。
“履行这些承诺将需要追加公共投—”
昂贵的免费项目：市长 Mamdani 在竞选时主张为低至 6 周大的儿童提供免费育儿服务，称每年成本为 60 亿美元 billion，但一项研究称其成本将高出 50%。
跳跃后的 绝处逢生
作者：Chris Nesi
一名精神状态不稳定的男子周日从布鲁克林桥跳下却奇迹般生还，一名专家告诉《纽约邮报》，这可能归结于几个因素——最可能的是他落入东河时的身体精确位置。
“从极高处——例如 270 英尺高的桥塔——跳下或坠落，绝大多数情况下会导致死亡，”拥有 30 年以上经验的创伤外科医生 David S. Shapiro 博士表示。
“这会产生极大的动能，导致广泛的、危及生命的创伤，”目前在新英格兰捐赠服务中心（New England Donor Services）工作的 Shapiro 补充道。
令人难以置信的是，警方称这名 44 岁的跳桥者（身份确认为 Galymzhan Abaildayev）在从布鲁克林桥顶部进行 278 英尺的跳跃后，目前情况稳定。Shapiro 表示，这可能归因于几个变量，尽管其中很多可能性较低。
Abaildayev 携带的包可能充当了“临时降落伞”，在他在撞击水面之前恰好降低了下降速度；Shapiro 表示，撞击水面的速度可能在 79 到 87 mph 之间。
另一个极小的可能性是，某个物体（如石头）可能在 Abaildayev 之前掉入水中，扰乱并从而稍微软化了水面，减轻了对其身体的冲击。
Shapiro 指出，完全没有证据表明上述两种情况存在，并指出 Abaildayev 生还的最佳且最可能的机会是他入水时的身体姿势。
“如果你手掌向下拍击水面，会溅起很大的水花……如果你像空手道劈砍一样垂直击中，你会看到它切开水面。入水时的身体姿势影响巨大。”
至于承受此类坠落的患者典型的受伤类型，Shapiro 说涵盖范围很广。
“我预计会出现内部损伤——特别是我们所说的脾脏和肝脏裂伤——以及骨骼、关节或骨折。如果你用脚着地，你的跟骨（身体中受冲击最大的骨骼之一）可能会导致双侧复杂的踝关节骨折，”他说道。
“‘垂直损伤’——即某人直接用脚或头部着地——会导致各种创伤，包括脊柱和颅底的爆裂性骨折，从而损伤大脑和脊髓，”他说道。
“在极少数情况下，生存需要多种因素极其精确的结合：降低的下降速度、理想的身体取向以及能够立即获得创伤护理以减轻致命的内出血，”他补充道。
尽管 Abaildayev 的状态被列为稳定，但 Shapiro 指出，他并不一定已经脱离危险。
“你可能在坠落后幸存，但几天或几周后死于其他伤势，”他说道。
动机 曝光
一名裸体跳下布鲁克林桥的男子是一名反对哈萨克斯坦政府的活动人士——他的室友周一透露，该男子还吹嘘他将在自己的生日当天进行这次大胆的跳跃。
“他告诉我他准备这么做，”跳桥者 Galymzhan Abaildayev 的室友、43 岁的 Josh Karadag 说道。
Abaildayev 告诉他，自己过着无聊且贫穷的生活——并无视了 Karadag 请求他不要跳桥的恳求。
“他从来不想活下去，”他补充道，“很明显他打算跳下去。”
在这次疯狂的裸体跳桥幸存后，44 岁的 Abaildayev 面临多项指控。
这名布鲁克林男子在桥顶竖起了几面旗帜，其中包括一面哈萨克斯坦国旗——因为他是该国激烈的反对者。
“我总是告诉他：‘你能改变哈萨克斯坦的任何事情吗？不，你不能，所以好好生活吧，兄弟，’”出生于土耳其的艺术家 Karadag 说道。

争夺伊朗之战
纽约邮报，2026年8月4日，星期二 nypost.com
于石油巨头 战争财
特朗普总统周一对石油巨头在伊朗战争期间获得巨额意外之财表示不满，认为该国最大的石油公司应将部分创纪录的利润回馈给美国民众。当被问及埃克森美孚（ExxonMobil）和雪佛龙（Chevron）上周报告的惊人收益时，特朗普在椭圆形办公室表示：“我不喜欢这样。”埃克森美孚报告 2026 年第二季度盈利 145 亿美元 billion——是去年同期盈利的两倍——而雪佛龙赚入的 120 亿美元 billion 是该公司六年来单季度最高收益。由于伊朗战争一度将油价推高至每桶 $100 以上，且今年春季汽油价格飙升至平均每加仑 $4.56，导致这些公司的收益激增。“他们基于短缺赚了太多的钱，好吧，”特朗普愤怒地说道。“我不喜欢这样，而且我应该是最后一个说这话的人，因为我是一个非常支持自由企业的人，”他继续说道。“没人比我更支持。”总统接着说：“雪佛龙，钱太多了。埃克森美孚，钱太多了。”他主张：“当你看到一家公司赚到了前一年 12 倍的钱时，他们应该把其中一部分还给公众，而且最好降低零售价格，即消费价格。”特朗普表示：“我会大声且清晰地宣布：对此我不满意。”总统预测，一旦美国“处理完伊朗”，汽油价格将会“暴跌”。目前普通汽油的泵前价格（$4.09）比去年同期高出近 $1。周一早些时候，雪佛龙首席执行官迈克·沃思（Mike Wirth）在接受福克斯商业频道（Fox Business）《周日早晨期货》主持人玛丽亚·巴蒂罗莫（Maria Bartiromo）采访时，吹嘘其公司在“某种程度上脆弱且不确定”的能源市场中努力提高油气产量的努力，随后特朗普在社交媒体上批评了这位石油高管。埃克森美孚和雪佛龙未回应《纽约邮报》的置评请求。Victor Nava
据报道，沙特阿拉伯王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼（Mohammed bin Salman）周六致电特朗普总统，恳请他推迟对伊朗伊斯兰共和国的打击。 特朗普同意了，并推迟了一次可能改变战争局势的大规模美国轰炸袭击。 诚然，沙特阿拉伯处境艰难：伊朗政权继续使用无人机和导弹轰击该王国，威胁其石油和水资源。 但沙特人并非没有保护。在这场冲突中，美国作战人员甚至希腊防空团队确保了沙特国家的安全。 然而，沙特人并没有与我们结盟得更紧密，反而开始倾向于中东的一个失败国家联盟。
这个联盟现在被称为“STEP”：沙特阿拉伯、土耳其、埃及和巴基斯坦。 理论上，这些都是美国的盟友。但目前，他们并不完全是在为美国的利益服务。 他们将伊朗什叶派政权的削弱视为在穆斯林世界重新确立逊尼派国家主导地位的机会。 与此同时，他们不希望看到战争扩大，因为这将造成更多破坏，这就是为什么他们不断呼吁达成外交协议。 然而，到目前为止，很明显伊朗领导层对外交协议并不感兴趣。 每当协议达成时，该政权就会在霍尔木兹海峡采取激进行动，或者攻击我们在波斯湾的阿拉伯盟友。这种情况不太可能改变。因此，当沙特人要求美国克制时，他们需要提供明确的替代方案，而不是陈词滥调。
更好的是，沙特人应该加入战斗。 诚然，沙特上个月对伊拉克境内由伊朗支持的民兵发起了一次袭击。 且根据最近的报道，沙特可能正在准备对也门境内由伊朗支持的胡塞武装采取军事行动，特别是如果该组织试图封锁红海的沙特航运。 沙特与胡塞武装有冲突历史；利雅得在 2015 年向该组织发动了战争。 那场战争引起了美国立法者的极大批评，主要是因为误击导致平民伤亡严重。 但那是当时，而现在是现在。一场规模更大的战争已在整个中东爆发。 伊朗及其代理人网络在多个战线上与美国及其盟友作战，不能期望美国单独作战。 以色列人在被要求时已采取行动。他们已经投入了切身利益。 现在是要求沙特人也这样做的时候了。 该王国拥有大量美制飞机、直升机、坦克和其他武器。
其部队显然具备战斗能力，尽管人们对其飞行员的准备情况仍有疑问，因为这些飞行员在战场上缺乏实战经验。 然而，最终这取决于意志。 现在，每当战争升级，沙特人似乎就想将其冷却——这与冲突开始时的情形大不相同，当时沙特官员悄悄支持特朗普的努力。
伊朗之战
随着战争陷入僵局，且伊朗政权因此显得越来越大胆，沙特阿拉伯必须做出选择。 现在没有时间犹豫不决。 总统应该向利雅得的盟友发送一个明确的信息：是时候要么加入战斗，要么买单，要么就让路。 Jonathan Schanzer 是华盛顿特区非党派智库——民主防御基金会 (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) 的执行主任。

华盛顿—— 特朗普总统周一宣布，他在“斩首之前”给伊朗最后一次机会，并将其最后通牒定在幸运数字 13 号。 特朗普在椭圆形办公室发表讲话，声称谈判正在进行，目标是尽快在周二重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。此前，他在周末取消了一次“二战”级别的大规模军事行动，以给伊朗最后一次避免毁灭的机会。 “这是最后一次机会，”特朗普说。“这是他们签署一份良好文件的最后机会。” “我想在斩首之前给他们所有可能的最后机会，”他补充道。 根据 The Post 对先前声明的审查，自 2 月 28, 战争开始以来，总统已给伊朗至少十二次机会，威胁要进行打击或为德黑兰的主要行动设定期限，但最终要么改变路线，要么延长时限。 这包括在炸毁发电厂的行动中退让，或移动自行设定的军事打击期限。

例如，他在春季两次推迟了袭击，在 4 月份叫停了计划中的轰炸以维持对话，在 5 月份波斯湾盟友敦促克制后放弃了进一步打击，并在 6 月份美国和伊朗谈判代表致力于达成框架协议时再次停火。
当被问及这次有什么不同，让他相信伊朗最终会屈服时，特朗普暗示他正试图避免对伊朗人造成大规模破坏。
“要执行我们计划的、依然在计划中的行动是非常困难的。我们将拭目以待，但这确实是非常非常困难的事情，”他在谈到所谓的“斩首”打击时说道。这种打击将首次在战争爆发之初之后，将目标定为伊朗领导层而非基础设施。
特朗普表示，在他决定取消上周末一次他所描述的的大规模美国军事打击后，伊朗在包括沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国和卡塔尔在内的关键海湾盟友的支持下，请求进行谈判。
“我们现在正在谈，”特朗普说。“我们在谈，而且我们是在伊朗的请求下，在沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋，尤其是卡塔尔的支持下进行谈判的。”
特朗普暗示，美国人很快就会知道外交手段是否成功。
“你们今天或明天就会知道，”他说。“他们很快就会得出结果，无论是以哪种方式。这并不复杂。”
但伊朗周一声称，它并非在与华盛顿谈判，而是在与阿曼就重新开放海峡的计划进行谈判。
“为了避免任何误解，澄清目前的谈判内容以及谈判对象至关重要。我们目前没有与美国进行谈判，”伊朗外交部发言人埃斯梅尔·巴盖伊（Esmail Baghaei）表示。
特朗普还阐述了他所描述的一个两阶段计划，称当前的当务之急是重新开放该海峡——这条狭窄的水道是世界上最重要的石油运输通道之一。
他说，在海上交通恢复后，华盛顿将转向就伊朗核计划（这是总统的最高目标）进行谈判。
伊朗表示，它没有与美国进行谈判，但它正在与另一个国家交谈，而这个国家可能会实现特朗普总统最大的外交政策目标之一：重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。
尽管德黑兰公开否认了特朗普周日关于美伊谈判正在进行的说法，但伊朗官员表示，他们正与同样拥有该海峡主权的阿曼就这条狭窄航道未来的问题进行密集谈判。
如果阿曼能够促成一项协议，特朗普可能无需直接与伊朗面对面地坐下来，就能实现海峡重新开放。
“我们的谈判对象是阿曼，重点是就确保霍尔木兹海峡航运安全通过的路线达成谅解，”伊朗外交部发言人埃斯梅尔·巴盖伊表示。

在 Mamdani 市长任内
作者：Craig McCarThy, Chris Nesi 以及 MaTT TrouTMaN
犯罪统计数据显示，在 Mamdani 市长领导下，大苹果城的仇恨犯罪激增，其中超过一半的事件针对纽约犹太人。
根据纽约市警局（NYPD）周一公布的数据，尽管今年迄今为止，包括谋杀和枪击案在内的所有五个行政区的所有七大类主要犯罪均大幅下降并创下历史新低，但仇恨犯罪仍上升了 9.4%。
纽约市警局指出，超过一半的仇恨犯罪（56.9%）是反犹主义行为，而犹太人仅占全市人口的 10%。
许多犹太领袖迅速将矛头指向 Mamdani。他是一名公开批评以色列的人，指责以色列在加沙战争期间犯下了“种族灭绝”行为，并呼吁逮捕总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡。
“人们会以市长为榜样，”美国反反犹主义组织创始人、前布鲁克林州议员 Dov Hikind 表示，“他正在犹太社区中制造恐惧。”
数据显示，今年迄今为止，哥谭市已确认的所有类型仇恨犯罪共有 360 起，其中 7 月份有 33 起。去年同期则为 329 起。
今年迄今为止，针对纽约犹太人的仇恨犯罪增加了 8.5%，年初至今共有 205 起，而 2025 年同期为 189 起。
疑似事件包括 7 月 23 日在上西区发生的两起独立刺击袭击，导致一名佩戴犹太小圆帽的犹太男子和一名亚裔男子受伤。
达琳·格雷厄姆 (Darline Graham) 参议员在周一于南卡罗来纳州参议院共和党会议的辩论中，表示支持废除参议院的冗长演说 (filibuster) 制度，并承诺将“100% 支持”特朗普总统。
被指控行刺的 Raul Morales，51 岁，据称在行凶过程中大喊“Allahu Akbar!”。 这些袭击引发了许多犹太权益倡导者对 Mamdani 的指责，尤其是在他仅给出了一个套话般的反应之后。 当犹太领导人询问他对这些罪行的反应时，他表示：“你知道，首先，我想明确一点，在这个城市里，我们对任何形式的仇恨都零容忍。” 在仇恨犯罪数据公布后，身为犹太人的市议会议长 Julie Menin 呼吁采取行动，但明显没有指责 Mamdani。 “我对仇恨犯罪不可接受的激增感到深切关注且非常不安，特别是那些针对纽约犹太人的犯罪，”她在一次声明中说道。 “这些数据强调了为什么作为议会的第一位犹太议长，我的首要倡议是制定一项打击反犹主义的五点计划，”Menin 说道。“在保护我们的社区免受仇恨侵害的斗争中，我绝不会动摇。” 相比之下，正统犹太教州议员 Sam Berger（民主党-皇后区）认为 Mamdani 必须采取更多行动来打击反犹主义。 “在他就职的前六个月里，反犹主义反而变得更糟了，”他说道。“当仇恨不断刷新记录时，很难声称取得了进步。” 周一在被问及仇恨犯罪激增的问题时，Mamdani 表示，不宽容在这座城市没有立足之地。他指出，他的政府将市长仇恨犯罪预防办公室的预算增加了 800%，至 $26 million。 “我们知道，虽然犹太纽约人仅占我们人口的一小部分，但他们仍然占据了仇恨犯罪受害者的绝大多数，”他在布朗克斯区的一次无关新闻发布会上说道。“这是不可接受的。根除这座城市反犹主义的工作将持续进行，直到仇恨犯罪彻底结束。” 各类重大犯罪整体呈大幅下降趋势。 7 月，枪击事件下降 21.3% 至 59 起。今年前七个月，谋杀案下降 22.8%。今年以来，入室盗窃、车辆盗窃、抢劫、重窃以及重型袭击案件的下降幅度在 0.4% 至 25.3% 之间。 Carl Campanile, Matthew Fischetti 和 Vaughn Golden 参与报道
街道上的血迹：警方表示，Raul Morales（插图）在 7 月 23 日刺伤 Moshe Grunhaus（上图）之前大喊“Allahu Akbar!”
在一次州共和党初选竞选中，她竞选已故哥哥的席位。 这次辩论标志着 Graham 在她仅 2 周前的竞选中迎来了首次政治考验，她旨在接替历史上最具影响力的共和党参议员之一——她的哥哥 Lindsey Graham，后者于上个月死于主动脉破裂。 Graham 表示，她愿意放弃参议院 60 票的投票门槛，以通过特朗普支持的《拯救美国法案》（SAVE America Act）——并指出，在支持强制性选民身份证立法方面，这一步走得比 Lindsey 还要远。 “这是我与我哥哥分歧的地方——我完全支持通过取消冗长辩论（filibuster）来完成这件事，因为最终民主党反正也会取消它的，”她说道。 Graham 正在与...竞争
犯罪率 攀升
大苹果城的交通犯罪在 上月激增了近 11%，警方 周一表示，这一增长部分 归因于暴力和惯偷的 累犯。
纽约市警局 (NYPD) 统计 数据显示，7 月共发生了 173 起交通犯罪，而去 年同期为 156 起。
警方官员表示，这一增 长主要由重罪袭击和非 暴力大额盗窃驱动。
官员称，重罪袭击在 7 月 的所有交通犯罪中占 27% (47) 起，而大额盗 窃（价值超过 $1,000 的 财产盗窃）则占 51.4% (88) 起。
据官员称，在这些重罪 袭击中，大约有一半是 针对三类不同受害者的： 纽约市警局警员、大都会 运输署 (MTA) 员工以及 老年人。
当局表示，针对老年乘客 的袭击在 7 月的重罪袭 击中占近 21%，记录有 10 起，而去年同期为 4 起， 增幅达 150%。
根据纽约市警局的数据， 今年以来，地下交通犯 罪增加了 1%，总计增加 14 起。
数据显示，在此期间， 重罪袭击增加了 8.3%， 即增加了 30 起袭击。
数据显示，针对老年人 的袭击增加了 46.7%， 2026 年至今共 66 起， 而去年为 45 起。针对 纽约市警局警员和大都会 运输署员工的袭击基本 持平。
执法部门消息人士认为， 累犯——例如 Joseph Zimmerman, 56, 他至少被捕 50 次，且此前在 《纽约邮报》2 月的一篇曝光 报道中被提及——助推了 其中许多增长。

社交媒体 网络霸凌者 受害者寻求 Meta 帮助
作者：Peter Senzamici
一项新诉讼称，威斯特彻斯特县的一名豪华汽车经销商正遭受一名匿名网络霸凌者的无情折磨——对方嘲讽他妻子的婚礼首饰是“又一枚垃圾戒指”，且是由于“妈咪”出钱购买的。
查尔斯·格雷（Charles Gray）从事高端车辆销售，曾协助经营其父亲现已倒闭的 Respect Auto 经销店。他在诉讼中要求 Meta 揭露一个违规 Instagram 账号背后的身份。他声称，该账号自 12 月以来一直不停地将他抹黑为“骗子”和“诈骗犯”。
“又一枚垃圾戒指，”一篇帖子这样写道，并配有一张格雷握着妻子戴满金钻戒指手的照片——该照片已提交至曼哈顿最高法院的诉讼文件中。根据该诉讼，帖子还补充道：“用从查尔斯的受害者那里偷来的钱，或者由依然在为查理支付账单的查理妈咪买单。想象一下 40 岁了竟然只能得到这些，”诉讼中谴责该账号发表了“数十条虚假陈述”。
诉讼称，该可疑 Instagram 页面上还出现了一张格雷的照片，配文为：“我的道德水准就像这个发型一样糟糕，而且我 40 岁还和我妈住一起，所以还有这一点。”
格雷的诉讼称：“除了诽谤性陈述外，该‘诈骗犯账号’还开展了持久的活动，旨在骚扰并恐吓请愿人、其妻子及其家属。”
提交的文件称，许多在马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）旗下的 Meta 平台 Instagram 上发布的冒犯性帖子，还标记了其他豪华车经销商以及格雷的朋友和家人。
诉讼指控，部分帖子还针对他的妻子，称她是一名“诈骗犯”且“共谋”欺诈。
在该账号最近的一篇帖子中，一张他妻子与家人在一起的照片旁写道：“你的女儿嫁给了一个众所周知的骗子，而且他负债数百万美元。”
提交的文件称，该账号竟然还发布了多张格雷及其妻子的私人照片——包括婚礼照片以及这对夫妇度假时的快照，照片上覆盖着文字：“一对诈骗犯和骗子正在用偷来的资金享受 Nobu Malibu 餐厅。”
反社交：查尔斯·格雷希望 Meta 能查明在 Instagram 上抹黑这位高端车经销商名誉的人。
法院文件称，这些照片及其他照片仅存在于格雷的手机及其云备份中，且他“并未将这些照片发送给任何人”。
虽然他的诉讼指出，他“针对该‘诈骗犯账号’的用户就诽谤行为拥有可行的诉讼理由”，但称其团队需要 Meta 揭露该账号的真实身份。
然而，尽管格雷表示他需要 Meta 的账号日志和 IP 记录来揭露真凶，但诉讼声称，霸凌者发布的几张照片仅与“一个人”分享过——即通过 WhatsApp 发给前好友托马斯·梅耶·德·保罗（Tomás Mayer De Paulo）。
Meta 未回复《纽约邮报》的电子邮件，而格雷的律师则拒绝置评。

欺诈合众国
作者：ChadwiCk Moore
充满活力的东亚移民聚居地法拉盛（Flushing）可能是纽约的医疗诈骗之都。一份《纽约邮报》的调查显示，在该社区 1 英里半径范围内，拥有 77 家社会成人日托中心（SADCs），这些中心每年向医疗补助（Medicaid）结算超过 $100 million，占该州所有日托支出金额的 14%。
当《纽约邮报》走访其中一些规模最大的机构时（这些私营企业在过去六年中从医疗补助中申领了 $20 million 至 $40 million 不等），发现许多店面是空的，而那些营业的机构里则有空无一人的房间，没有患者。
在北大道（Northern Boulevard）的 Livingwell Day Care，入口附近食堂里一排排空桌子上的灯光昏暗。内部似乎没有老人，但联邦数据显示，Livingwell 在 2018-2024 年间向医疗补助结算了 $27 million，且拥有超过 26,500 名患者。
前台的一名男子拒绝回答问题，将记者和摄像师赶了出去，并威胁要报警。该设施尚未涉嫌任何犯罪。
一名自称 Wendy 的女性，是布洛森大道（Blossom Avenue）Bao Kang Adult Day Care 的一名护理工作者，她告诉《纽约邮报》，她每天接待 100 或 200 名患者，但在被问及相同年份内为 43,900 名独立患者服务并向医疗补助结算 $32 million 时，她表示“不知道”。
Wendy 拒绝让《纽约邮报》参观，但她办公桌后显示公共区域的安保监视器显示，每一个区域都是空的。
自《纽约邮报》在 1 月份首次揭露纽约 SADC 滥用现象，以及 2 月份的一次联邦执法行动（两名男子被指控利用他们拥有的两家 SADC 在 10 年内从医疗补助中骗取 $120 million）以来，工作人员一直处于高度警戒状态。
营业时间内入口被锁，窗户被穿孔乙烯基贴膜覆盖。在 35 大道（35th Avenue）的 Merry Adult Day Care（在六年期间为 31,500 名患者结算了 $25 million），一名戴口罩的工作人员从门里探出头来，不回答任何问题，并要求《纽约邮报》离开。
主街（Main Street）上的 Kang Hua 为 25,800 名独立患者结算了 $22 million；枫树大道（Maple Avenue）上的 Greater New York Social and Health 为 32,500 名患者结算了 $2800 万；罗斯福大道（Roosevelt Avenue）上的 Evergreen Adult Day Care 为 57,500 名患者获取了 $32 million；而 Sunrise Senior Service 为 56,800 名患者结算了高达 $45 million 的金额。
这些设施均未被指控存在欺诈行为。
然而，据在该地区工作的人员透露，腐败和回扣是常态。
“老人进来会问：‘你们能给我提供什么福利（benefits）吗？’”该社区的一家药店店主 Kenny Chan 告诉《纽约邮报》。这里使用了当地对非法回扣的委婉说法，即老人可以从中分得药店或 SADC 向医疗补助结算金额的一小部分。
“我说：‘不，我们这里不这么做。’ 我失去了很多生意。我不得不自掏腰包来维持经营。”
另一家他声称是诈骗网站的药店。 那家狭小的店面极其繁忙，挤满了老年人，三四个工作人员拿着写字板穿梭其中。 陈说，为了进去，街区里经常排起长队。 “那些新开的药店，开业五或 10 年的那些，他们提供很多‘福利’。”
他说：“其中大约 60 或 70% 与日托中心有联系。如果我也这么做，我会非常忙碌。” 对于陈来说，不仅是当地的老奶奶们怂恿他加入这场操盘。他说，日托中心工作人员、其他药剂师甚至医生都曾接触他，询问他是否想搭上这趟发财车。
“我希望他们消失。我正等着他们被关停的那一天。这不是合法的。这太疯狂了，”他说。 《纽约邮报》的一项调查发现，在一种典型计划中，老年人每月可获得 $500-$1,000 的日托回扣，而机构每位患者每月则从中牟利 $3,000 以上。 根据城市和联邦数据，法拉盛的社会成人日托中心 (SADC) 在 2018-2024 年（目前可获得支出数据的最新年份）期间共计开票 $733 million。 关于 SADC 的作用以及它们旨在提供什么服务的混乱，是导致
大多数人对此视而不见的原因之一。
根据州卫生局的说法，作为医疗补助 (Medicaid) 管理长期护理计划的一部分，SADC 旨在专门服务于患有“慢性疾病或残疾”且在临床上符合“养老院护理级别”条件的老年人，或者经历阿尔茨海默症等记忆问题，或在“日常生活中需要身体活动协助”的人员，例如进食或洗澡。 市老年事务局的一位发言人进一步向《纽约邮报》澄清道：“这里有重要的区别。[老年中心] 的会员资格向所有 60 岁及以上的纽约人开放。[它们] 提供餐饮，并设计了旨在满足会员需求的面对面及虚拟活动。” “SADC 服务于具有功能障碍且需要比 [老年中心] 能提供的更高护理级别成年人。” 然而，在《纽约邮报》今年早些时候走访的数十家 SADC 中，情况并非如此，这些设施与非医疗补助计划一部分的市政府运营老年中心毫无区别。
健康且活跃的老年人在打乒乓球、搓麻将，骑健身车，并从当地餐厅订餐——这一切都由纳税人买单。 与《纽约邮报》交谈的 SADC 工作人员、患者甚至当地政治家都不知道老年中心和日托中心之间的区别。 代表法拉盛的州参议员刘言佐 (John Liu) 将此归咎于该选区缺乏城市设施。 “你来到法拉盛，不由得会看到大量老年居民，尤其是亚洲老年居民。在这种集中度下，法拉盛市中心仅有一家老年中心，这说明了资源的匮乏，也许所有这些中心都是为了填补这一空白而兴起的，”他告诉《纽约邮报》。 “我认为，如果这种诈骗确实存在，将所有这些中心一概而论，并将法拉盛描述为这种诈骗的中心，将是误导的。”
THE UNITED STATES OF FRAUD
这种诈骗在州内滋生，该州每年 1150 亿美元 billion 的医疗补助支出是全美最高的人均支出。 “由于缺乏适当的州监管，这些中心已成为犯罪集团的摇钱树，他们利用回扣和其他非法手段从医疗补助中窃取数百万美元，”他告诉《纽约邮报》。 “当仅法拉盛（皇后区）就占据了纽约州所有社会成人日托支出的约 14% 时，很明显，这些中心的出现并非单纯为了满足社区的合法需求。”

底特律 —— 周二的密歇根州参议员竞选已演变成两套竞争性的民主党愿景之间的“大混战”。
在两派势力在全国范围内引发党内动荡的激烈争论中，阿卜杜拉·埃尔-赛义德博士（Dr. Abdul El-Sayed）与海莉·史蒂文斯（Haley Stevens）众议员之间的初选，已成为一名坚定的进步主义者与一名较为温和的民主党人之间，在摇摆州中罕见的竞争激烈对决。
这次竞争旨在验证一个理论：究竟是需要一名由参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders，佛蒙特州独立人士）和众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez，纽约州民主党人）支持的左翼局外人来激发基层活力，还是只有一名支持以色列的资深立法者在战场州才具备当选能力。
“密歇根州是决定民主党未来的‘零号地带’ —— 将由企业资助的现状维护者与试图颠覆体系的经济斗士对立起来，”进步变革竞选委员会（Progressive Change Campaign Committee）联合创始人、曾与埃尔-赛义德共同竞选的亚当·格林（Adam Green）告诉《纽约邮报》。
无论谁获胜，都将在一个对民主党夺回参议院至关重要的州面对共和党人迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers）。罗杰斯在 2024, 年狭路败给参议员埃莉莎·斯洛特金（Elissa Slotkin，密歇根州民主党人），而特朗普总统在其重返白宫的征途中赢得了这个战场州。
埃尔-赛义德在初选日表现出明显的优势，在 RealClearPolitics 的综合民调中领先约 10 个百分点。
但一些民调预示着他在 11 月可能陷入困境，包括一项 EP-IC-MRA 调查，显示他以 43% 对 46% 输给罗杰斯，而史蒂文斯则以 44% 对 42% 获胜。
即便如此，这与 2018, 年相比已是显著的转折，当时格雷琴·惠特默（Gretchen Whitmer，民主党）州长在州长初选中以近 22 个百分点的优势击败了他。
底特律 —— 阿卜杜拉·埃尔-赛义德博士可能会获得一些支持。
坚定的进步主义者不仅仅在争取密歇根州参议员的席位 —— 他们正将目标指向整个“金刚狼之州”的四场国会选举，范围从深蓝席位到农村地区。
考虑到密歇根州在铁锈地带作为摇摆州的地位，民主党内的温和派和左翼派系都将其视为一个
“我认为现在与 2018 年之间最大的区别之一是，特朗普在 2024, 年再次获胜，这证明了推举这些‘有选举竞争力’的‘温和派’候选人还不够，”来自皇家橡树 (Royal Oak)、支持埃尔-赛义德 (El-Sayed) 且未提供姓名的 29, 岁男子迈克尔告诉《纽约邮报》。
虽然与美国民主社会主义者 (DSA) 结盟的极左翼候选人在本周期赢得了一些意外胜利，但这些胜利很大程度上被局限在深蓝区。截至目前赢得众议院初选的所有五名 DSA 候选人都是如此。
从技术上讲，埃尔-赛义德不是 DSA 的成员，并坚称自己是资本主义者而非社会主义者。但许多 DSA 成员及其盟友无疑会将他的胜利视为他们能在摇摆州竞争的证明。
在一次与即将退休的参议员加里·彼得斯 (Gary Peters, 密歇根州民主党人) 共同进行竞选活动时（彼得斯与惠特默共同支持史蒂文斯），两人抱怨外部人士如何干涉密歇根州的竞选，并试图将其变为一场全国性斗争的一部分。
“有些来自其他州的人，那里与密歇根州截然不同，但他们认为自己比我们这些密歇根州本地人更了解密歇根州。而海莉基本上代表了中西部那种卷起袖子就开始工作的人们，”彼得斯告诉《纽约邮报》。
DSA 正在支持现任众议员拉希达·特莱布 (Rashida Tlaib, 密歇根州民主党人)，后者被认为有望保住席位。
DSA 还将目标锁定在由共和党众议员杰克·伯格曼 (Jack Bergman) 持有的第 8 選區众议院席位。
瑞安·金 (Ryan King)
这或许是最受关注的众议院初选：州代表多纳万·麦金尼 (Donavan McKinney) 挑战众议员什里·塔内达尔 (Shri Thanedar)。后者是众议院较为自由派的成员之一，就职于国会进步党团。而他所在的底特律第 13 国会选区被广泛视为一个安全的蓝色席位。
除了多纳万，这也是一个赢回那些对民主党失去信心的工人阶级选民的机会。
手术后 死亡
据报道和当局称，一名纽约警察局 (NYPD) 警员在多米尼加共和国进行乳房植入物移除手术后出现并发症死亡——现在这位三个孩子的母亲的家人要求进行医疗事故调查。
现年 31 岁的丽贝卡·德·保拉 (Rebecca De Paula) 曾在 3 月被评为布朗克斯区 (The Bronx) 第 46 分局的月度优秀警员。亲属告诉当地媒体 《Noticias Sin》，她在圣多明各的一家诊所进行美容手术后感染了细菌。
德·保拉（插图）在入警不到两年后于周日早晨去世。
德·保拉的母亲告诉该媒体，她在得知女儿情况危急后立即赶往健康中心，但到达诊所时得知她已经去世。
这位年轻警员的家人目前要求当地当局调查这次猝死的具体情况，以及手术过程中是否发生了医疗事故或过失。
佐伊·侯赛因 (Zoe Hussain)
导致两死
在两名密歇根州居民感染食物中毒疾病后，首批由环孢素病 (cyclosporiasis) “爆发性腹泻”引起的死亡病例已报告。
密歇根州卫生与人类服务部表示，两名患者（尚未确认身份）均患有“严重的潜在健康问题”。
食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 认为，此次爆发源于来自 Taylor Farms de Mexico 的受污染冰山生菜。
这个“ the Wolverine State”的当局表示，截至周一，他们已统计出 11,200 多个疑似病例。
安东尼·布莱尔 (Anthony Blair)
苏珊·柯林斯 (Susan Collins) 希望避免政府停摆。
推动资金 协议
华盛顿 —— 参议院领导层正敦促立法者在本周推进一项两党政府资金协议，以便他们在下个月结束为期五周的休会返回后，能够投票避免政府停摆。
参议院拨款委员会主席苏珊·柯林斯（缅因州共和党）表示，该持续决议案（CR）将维持大多数政府部门目前的资金水平直到 12 月 11 日，同时增加对某些项目的支出，例如针对妇女、婴儿和儿童的特殊营养补充计划。
该协议还将废除一项拟议的联邦法规，该法规曾赋予白宫管理和预算办公室更大的拨款资金管理权。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（南达科他州共和党）的一名代表在 X 上发布称：“两党持续决议案在资金截止日期前八周多已发布。现在通过该法案将避免秋季昂贵的政府停摆。”

上个月，地球出现了 14 年来的最低温度。
南极洲的协和研究站记录到了极寒的温度，在 7 月 18 日达到了 –119.4°F。
这座偏远的研究站在一夜之间两次记录到这种令人胆寒的温度，分别在早上 6:25 和 6:34。

印第安纳热火队的后卫索菲·坎宁安以一种非常富有同情心的方式表达了一个主流观点，但这一观点已被女性体育领域中极端的非自由主义世界扭曲得面目全非。
在两周前的一篇 ESPN 长篇人物特写中，她表示，虽然她希望向所有人“传递爱”，但认同自己为女性的生物学男性不应该出现在女孩的体育赛事或更衣室中。
大约 15 年前，这本应是最平淡无奇的陈述。
但在 2026 年，坎宁安基于现实的宣言让她成为了 WNBA 宇宙中的“头号敌人”，在这个世界里，人们必须持有被认可的一套进步政治观点。
在那儿，反对声浪极其巨大。
这位勇敢的篮球运动员现在被球迷嘘，被贴上仇恨的标签，甚至在《卫报》的一篇文章中被称作“反黑”。
她所做的只是诚实地回答了记者的一个问题。现在，她必须面对那些大声疾呼的活动人士的愤怒，这些人使用诸如“恐跨”或“偏执狂”之类的词汇来扼杀一场急需的讨论。他们的标签——因过度使用而失去了杀伤力——被部署出来仅仅是为了洗白他们的疯狂。这种疯狂要求生物学男性可以进入女性空间或参加女性体育赛事。
坎宁安的陈述并非反跨性别；它是支持常识的。
这既不是右翼信念，甚至也毫无争议。这是一个跨越政治分歧的观点。也许只有右翼人士才有胆量承受活动人士的骚扰，因此他们是最愿意发声的人。
不要指望联赛教练们能保持理智。
在周日对阵 Fever 队的一场比赛中，明尼苏达 Lynx 队的教练谢丽尔·里夫 (Cheryl Reeve) 穿着一件写有“跨性别孩子也属于这里”的 T 恤，以此回应坎宁安。
金州队的教练娜塔莉·纳卡塞 (Natalie Nakase) 表达了类似的无用之词。
“我完全支持女性，支持小女孩们应当获得参赛机会，这包括跨性别女性，”她说道，“所以，我完全支持包容性。”
当然。但跨性别女性不是女性。他们是生物学男性，而生物学在竞争和安全方面都至关重要。
然后是凯蒂·诺兰 (Katie Nolan)，她说坎宁安不“具备批判性思维能力”，或者她不“感兴趣于运用这些能力”。
这是诺兰在故意装傻。在她最近的一期播客节目《Casuals》中，她说：“没有人说我们应该取消，例如，WNBA 和 NBA，让每个人都在一起竞争。”
她是正确的。我还没有听到活动人士大声要求根除女性组别。
我只听到他们要求认同为女性的男性进入这些组别。
这是一个在过去十年中主导了我们论述的要求。
接二连三地出现关于女孩在各级比赛（最明显是在高中阶段）中被生物学男性击败的故事。
任何发声的人都会受到惩罚，异见被碾碎。2023 年，佛蒙特州的一支高中女孩篮球队在弃赛一场对手球队中包含一名男性的比赛后，被暂停参加州级赛事。一年后，西弗吉尼亚州的五所初中因抗议一名跨性别运动员而被禁赛。
上周，西雅图 Storm 队的联合所有者塞莱斯特·基顿 (Celeste Keaton) 被禁赛五场，原因是她痛斥了两名持有感谢坎宁安标牌的小女孩。其中一人是来自华盛顿州的 16 岁少女安娜莱·威尔逊 (Ahnaleigh Wilson)，她在 2024 年青少年奥运会上参加 1,600 米比赛，获得一名跨性别运动员之后的第二名。她至少还与另外四名男性竞争过。
威尔逊知道输给男孩是什么感觉——也知道被那些所谓的“友善”阵营的人辱骂是什么感觉。
但为什么不去听一个真正受到这些反女性政策影响的女孩的话呢？
给这些年轻女士贴标签，并称这是一个根本不存在的边缘问题，要容易得多。

一段令人心惊胆战的视频记录了穆斯林移民群体在阿拉伯语中高喊“真主至大”并与西班牙警察发生冲突的时刻。地点位于地中海飞地塞乌塔——就在此前几天，超过 60,000 人冲击边境。
周日拍摄的画面显示，移民们在喊着“Allahu Akbar”的同时，抬着一名据报道被警察击伤的男子。
这支移民大军中许多人紧握拳头，被看到在塞乌塔的街道上奔跑。塞乌塔是西班牙在摩洛哥地中海沿岸的一块领土。
在此之前，周四有数万名移民从摩洛哥游向这座西班牙城市——这里是非洲仅有的两个欧洲陆地边界之一。
至少 72 人死于溺水或随后在海滩上发生的踩踏事件。
这一事件令欧盟感到不安，因为移民一旦进入西班牙领土，就有可能在无需签证或边境检查的情况下，前往申根区的 29 个国家。
因此，意大利撤销了与西班牙为期一个月的申根协议，法国也加强了边境检查。
据报道，这次入侵是由摩洛哥社交媒体上的帖子引发的，这些帖子虚假地声称移民在抵达后将被授予西班牙公民身份。
此外，西班牙左翼政府此前宣布了一项计划，允许估计 500,00 名已在西班牙生活的无证移民在今年 4 月至 6 月期间获得工作许可。
根据官方数据，2025 年西班牙接收到的首次寻求庇护申请数量超过任何其他欧盟成员国，达到 141,000 份，约占欧盟总数的 21%。
官方数据还显示，在 2024 年，由总理佩德罗·桑切斯领导的社会党政府向非欧盟公民发放的首次居留许可数量在所有欧盟国家中最高。
西班牙发放了超过 560,000 份许可，占总数的 16%
美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）官员周一宣布，一名 41 岁的萨尔瓦多国民在之前被驱逐出境后，于新泽西州被逮捕并被联邦监管，随后死亡。 埃德温·洛佩斯-科内霍 (Edwin Lopez-Cornejo)
根据 ICE 的一份声明，洛佩斯-科内霍在代拉尼大厅拘留设施 (Delaney Hall Detention Facility) 被拘留期间遭遇医疗紧急情况，于 8 月 1 日在纽瓦克的大学医院死亡。 管理该设施的私营拘留公司 GEO Group 的员工以及医疗人员对该紧急情况做出反应并拨打了 911。 据 ICE 称，正式的死因仍需等待正式的医学检查结果。 洛佩斯-科内霍最初是在 2006 年 8 月 13 日左右因未经检查进入美国而被美国边境巡逻队逮捕。 一名司法部移民法官于 2006 年 8 月 25 日下令将其驱逐出境，他于 2006 年 10 月 19 日被驱逐回萨尔瓦多。 他随后在未知日期非法重新进入美国，直到 ICE 官员于 6 月 18 日在新泽西州的普莱菲尔德将其逮捕。 他被拘留在代拉尼大厅，等待根据之前的驱逐令恢复执行而将其移除。 ICE 官员表示，洛佩斯-科内霍在拘留期间得到了适当的医疗护理。 福克斯新闻 (Fox News)
欧盟 29 个成员国签发的许可证，尽管这些人口仅占欧盟总人口的 11%。 尽管许多移民被驱逐回摩洛哥，但休达 (Ceuta) 惊恐的居民表示，许多闯入者（主要是年轻男性）仍然留在城市里，将街道当作厕所，在户外睡觉，并在公共喷泉中洗澡。 “这就像末日一样。到处都是人群，”一名当地企业主告诉 RTVE。 几名当地居民还报告称遭遇了移民试图闯入房屋，西班牙政府被迫部署数百名精锐士兵以夺回该市。 在大批人群冲击休达的同一天，数百名移民还试图进入西班牙的梅利利亚 (Melilla) 领土。 约 49,000 名非法移民自愿返回摩洛哥，而其他人则被西班牙军队送往拘留中心。 由于担心进一步的移民浪潮，这次危机导致其他欧洲国家加强了移民限制。 电讯社报道

拜登政府期间的白宫 COVID-19 响应协调员阿希什·贾 (Dr. Ashish Jha) 博士周日透露，他现在认为所谓的实验室泄漏理论是这场大流行最合理的起源故事。 “当我进入白宫时 [2022 年 4 月]，我的观点是，这几乎肯定是一次自然爆发，也许是实验室泄漏，”贾（见插图）在 CNN 的《国情咨文》节目中表示。 “基于我了解的信息和我看到的信息，我得出的结论是，它更有可能是实验室泄漏，”他补充道。 “底线是：美国没有人能确定。唯一能确定的人是中国官员，关于这一点我们仍然需要透明度和问责制，”布朗大学公共卫生学院前院长贾总结道。 “所以这是我的最佳评估。我不是说我百分之百确定，但我的最佳评估是，这很可能是实验室泄漏。” 周日晚些时候，贾澄清说，他倾向于实验室泄漏是意外的理论，并且在拜登政府任职期间逐渐接受了这一观点。 瑞安·金 (Ryan King)
摄像头部署
一名由摔角明星转型的田纳西州市长，已暂停一项价值 $1 million 的协议，该协议原计划在其管辖县内安装数百个 Flock Safety 摄像头。
诺克斯县市长格伦·雅各布斯（Glenn Jacobs）——他曾以 Kane 的身份拥有 30 年的摔角生涯——已经“暂停”了当地警长的计划，该计划拟安装 270 个 Flock 摄像头，原因是担心该 AI 技术违反了第四修正案关于禁止不合理搜查与扣押的保护条款。
雅各布斯补充说，他与警长目前已达成共识，此次暂停将一直有效，直到两人在下个月全部离任。 Brandon Cruz
奥卡西奥-科尔特内斯代表 被推举为总统候选人。
竞选总统集会
一份新报告称，在美国民主社会主义者 (DSA) 成员的一次全国大会上，与会者在幻想美国众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特内斯竞选总统，与此同时，关于他们是否应该支持一名亲以色列候选人的争论正激烈进行。
据《纽约时报》报道，近 500 名持有会员卡的 DSA 成员本周末在芝加哥聚集，市长马姆达尼的同志们概述了他们的“党团”，其中包括马克思主义统一小组、红星、面包与玫瑰以及共产党团等名称。
《时报》称，一个分支团体举行了一场单独的“DSA 支持 AOC”集会，尽管一些民主社会主义者在怀疑，这位左倾的国会议员是否已经离该组织太远，以至于无法现实地成为他们的选择。

华盛顿 —— 詹妮弗·赫格塞斯（Jennifer Hegseth）将接管特朗普总统的委员会，旨在帮助军属应对家庭面临的挑战，包括住房和失业问题。 周一，她与丈夫战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）、参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩（Dan Caine）将军以及数十名军属在椭圆形办公室与总统会面，总统随后签署了一项命令，成立了首个总统军属委员会。 艾米莉·古丁（Emily Goodin） 著
无论如何，这都会削减“蜘蛛钱包”中的资金，因为对于一名白天在送披萨以及为当地报社兼职摄影师的公益犯罪斗士来说，生活成本实在太高了。 希望梅（May）从本叔叔那里得到了丰厚的死亡抚恤金。 她和彼得“至少”需要 $300,000 才能在那个迷人的房子里承担起 30 年期的抵押贷款 —— 李（Lee）表示，那里的业主协会费用不会太高。 李认为，对蜘蛛侠来说更现实的社区是时尚的阿斯托里亚（Astoria），漫威电影宇宙在最近的汤姆·霍兰德系列电影中将其作为背景设定。 蜘蛛侠依然不会处于奢华之中，也不会在热门区域。李补充道，他可能会在远离 N / W 线、位于繁忙的 31 街上方且靠近哈莱茨湾（Hallets Cove）东河附近的地区找一间预算较低的单身公寓。 他能租到一套月租金 modest $1,800 的住所，而且如果通过蛛网前往曼哈顿和其他行政区不够方便，蜘蛛侠可以花每月 $250 停车。 “虽然这里非常实惠，但它并不总是能很快地[从市场上]抢到，因为便宜是有原因的，”李在谈到该地区时说道。“所以它可能在较低的楼层，或者窗户被遮挡了。” 即使在住房之外，这座城市的生活成本也可能成为一个比“邪恶六人组”更威胁人的死敌。 “他必须赚到 $150,000，”亿万富翁约翰·卡特西马提迪斯（John Catsimatidis）在接受《纽约邮报》采访时提到，这位“网头”在努力维持生计的同时才能生活舒适。 Gristedes 超市
众所周知，彼得·帕克从事过送披萨以及向虚构的《日报》（Daily Bugle）出售照片等工作。 招聘网站 Indeed 列出的皇后区达美乐（Domino’s）配送工作时薪约为 $17，按每周 40 小时计算，总额仅为微薄的 $35,360。ZipRecruiter 指出，在大苹果城的兼职摄影师年收入可达约 $46,327。 如果彼得常规地同时从事这两份工作，他的收入将远低于 $150,000 的门槛，预计为 $81,687 —— 他可能希望他富有的好友哈利·奥斯本（Harry Osborn）能收留他。 虽然蜘蛛侠可以通过在城市中荡秋千来避开 $9 的拥堵费，但他的蜘蛛感应依然会对其他烦心事产生反应 —— 比如来自 Spectrum 每月 $60 的高质量上网计划。 对于霍兰德在大银幕上扮演的蜘蛛侠来说，最大的麻烦在于他在《没有路回家》中为了更大的利益放弃了麻省理工学院（MIT）的教育，这可能会在达成交易时影响他的信用记录。 “我认为出租公寓的要求会严格得多，特别是当他们有收入指南时。他们只会进行常规的信用审查，”李说道。 然而，她补充说，皇后区那些希望出租自家一层楼的感激人们可能会支持蜘蛛侠。 “当你遇到一些阿斯托里亚的业主时，如果你们有某种联系，且他们喜欢你，看到你在努力奋斗，我认为会有房东愿意与某人合作来招租，”她说。

《纽约邮报》独家披露，在自杀前杀死两人并造成七人受伤的爱达荷州 In-N-Out 枪击者是一名大学辍学生，此前曾多次在 X 平台上发布谴责犯罪的帖文。
在 24 岁的查德·威廉姆斯 (Chad Williams) 出现在特温瀑布城 (Twin Falls) 的这家新快餐店数年前，他曾在帖文中对家乡亚利桑那州沃德尔 (Waddell) 发生的一起随机武装劫车事件表示惊恐。
“上个月，一名男子在离我童年家中仅几条街的一家房屋门前用 AK-47 威胁，”他在 2024年11月14日的帖文中写道，“如果你在错误的时间走出家门，他就会杀了你或我。”
威廉姆斯的 X 个人简介称其为“前寄养青年”，并提到他于 2019年 参加了为顶尖学生设立的领导力计划“少年州 (Boys State)”。他于 2025年7月 停止发布帖文。
他主要评论新闻，支持在打击犯罪和移民问题上采取更强硬的执法手段。
威廉姆斯对纽约市的随机暴力事件表示担忧，并指责曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格 (Alvin Bragg)。
“布拉格去年将 60% 的重罪案件降级，其中包括暴力犯罪……纽约人自己在城市里没有安全感，”他在 2024年11月转发的一条 X 消息中写道。“与此同时，在（总统）特朗普的案件中，他将 34 项指控升级为重罪……现在需要的是将公共安全置于政治之上的地区检察官。”
威廉姆斯还发布了关于第一修正案和第二修正案的内容。
“感谢（佛罗里达州代表安娜·保利娜·卢娜）共同发起 HR 9534，即《国家宪法携带法案》。任何人都不应该恳求政府来行使一项受宪法保护的权利，”他在转发的另一篇帖文中写道。
在与其他 X 用户的枪法争论中，威廉姆斯写到了利用枪支犯罪的情况。
“许多犯罪案件是因为有可追踪的枪支而得以侦破……除了你所说的‘这仅仅是为了解除民众武装’之外，这就是（政府登记枪支的）一个理由。这是否是监视普通民众的充分理由？并非如此，而且是另一种侵权，”他在 2025年7月 的讨论串中写道。
同样在周一，警方确认 35 岁的乔丹·萨利纳斯 (Jordan Salinas) 和休假警察奥斯汀·“AJ”·斯科特 (Austin “AJ” Scott) 为干预此次枪击的两名持枪男子。
在爱达荷州 In-N-Out 枪击者查德·威廉姆斯的致命驱车餐厅袭击期间，一名被誉为“英雄”的好心人因向其开火而受到赞誉，他在目睹了另一次大规模枪击后，专门针对此类时刻进行了训练。
35 岁的乔丹·萨利纳斯是一名医疗保健工作者，也是他那使用轮椅的兄弟的全职护理员。枪击事件发生的早晨，他正与女友骑马，当这对情侣开车进入特温瀑布城的 In-N-Out 分店吃午餐时，立即察觉到了异常。
萨利纳斯（左图）凭直觉向枪声方向冲去，他后来在接受《爱达荷州政客报》(Idaho Statesman) 采访时将这种反应描述为“自动的”和“机械的”。
他掏出配备消音器的半自动手枪并与威廉姆斯交火。
萨利纳斯双手持枪扣动扳机开了一枪，他说，这是他第一次将武器瞄准一个活体目标。
此次事件中，有三人在威廉姆斯的枪击下丧生，另有七人受伤。
他后来表示，他目击了 2021年 发生在博伊西镇广场购物中心 (Boise Towne Square mall) 的大规模枪击案，当时造成两人死亡，多人受伤。 Chris Nesi
一名墨西哥贩毒集团头目被逮捕。据称，由于一名 TikTok 博主与他的儿子分手，他下令将其谋杀，整个过程通过直播播出。
据墨西哥媒体《埃克塞尔西奥尔》(Excelsior) 报道，哈利斯科新世代贩毒集团 (Jalisco New Generation Cartel) 的高级成员拉蒙·安赫尔·阿尔瓦雷斯·阿亚拉 (Ramón Ángel Álvarez Ayala) 周四在哈利斯科州阿托托尼尔科埃尔阿尔托 (Atotonilco el Alto) 市中心被特种部队抓获。
他还涉嫌参与刺杀乌鲁阿潘 (Uruapan) 市长卡洛斯·曼佐 (Carlos Manzo)，后者在 2025 年 11 月的一次亡灵节庆典期间被杀。
时尚与美容博主瓦莱里娅·马尔克斯 (Valeria Marquez) 于 2025 年 5 月在位于哈利斯科州的美容院内被杀。当时一名枪手闯入店内，射击其胸部和头部。
马尔克斯在案发时正向其数万名粉丝直播。当凶手进入美容院时，可以听到他在镜头外询问她的名字是否叫瓦莱里娅。
随后，这名 23 岁女性的身体瘫倒在桌上，一名女性被拍到匆忙上前关闭了直播。
警方尚未逮捕其儿子弗朗西斯科·阿尔瓦雷斯 (Francisco Álvarez) 或执行此次刺杀的枪手。

官员表示，一名醉醺醺的长岛酒吧常客据称因醉意过浓，在离开当地饮水坑（酒吧）时误上了另一辆车，并像个无意识的“快与愤怒”式汽车窃贼一样疾速驶离。
萨福克郡警长办公室指控，35 岁的阿里尔·萨尔加多 (Ariel Salgado) 周六离开帕乔格 (Patchogue) 一家酒吧时，处于药物和酒精混合作用下的极度醉酒状态，随后开走了一辆灰色 2020 年款马自达 CX-5。该车内留有钥匙，且与她自己的车辆完全相同。
萨尔加多被逮捕，并被指控在能力受损的情况下驾驶等罪名。

托德·布兰奇 撤销“受害者”基金。
将通过 司法部长提名
参议员约翰·科宁 (John Cornyn) 和汤姆·蒂利斯 (Thom Tillis) 周一确认，他们将投票支持托德·布兰奇 (Todd Blanche) 的司法部长提名方案，使其通过参议院司法委员会。此前，司法部代理负责人正式终止了一项于今年早些时候设立的 10 亿美元.776 亿美元基金，该基金旨在资助所谓“政府武器化”的受害者。
“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国税局 (IRS) 审计协议和反武器化基金的顾虑，”科宁（共和党-德克萨斯州）和蒂利斯（共和党-北卡罗来纳州）在一份联合声明中表示。
由参议员查克·格拉斯利 (Chuck Grassley)（共和党-爱荷华州）主持的司法委员会将布兰奇的投票时间定在周二上午。
周日晚间，代理司法部长正式撤销了 5 月 18 日关于设立反武器化基金的命令，宣布该命令“不再具有任何效力或影响”。

海滨震惊：周一，一架乌克兰无人机（圈出部分）击中黑海沿岸的一处俄罗斯海滩（右侧），导致 7 人死亡，40 人受伤。
作者：Anthony Blair
周一，一名俄罗斯海滩上包括 3 名儿童在内的 7 人被杀。据报道，一架乌克兰无人机偏离航线，在弗拉基米尔·普京价值 $1 亿的秘密宫殿附近坠毁。
令人震惊的视频显示，一个小型飞机形状的物体从天空坠落，在克拉斯诺达尔边疆区 (Krasnodar Oblast) 的黑海度假城市格伦吉克 (Gelendzhik) 引发剧烈爆炸。
据 BBC 乌克兰语新闻服务报道，当地当局认为至少有 7 人死亡。
另有报道称 40 人受伤，包括儿童，其中 21 人...
据克拉斯诺达尔地区行动总部称，伤员正被紧急送往附近医院。 事发时，海滩上挤满了度假者。 克拉斯诺达尔州长维尼亚明·康德拉季耶夫（Veniamin Kondratyev）表示，俄罗斯当局声称遇难者是被无人机掉落的碎片杀死的，并指责乌克兰攻击“民用基础设施”。
然而，数家当地媒体报道称，该无人机在被俄罗斯防空系统干扰并击落后坠毁。 据《泰晤士报》报道，俄罗斯军事分析师基里尔·米哈伊洛夫（Kirill Mikhailov）告诉 Agentstvo：“如果仅仅是因为坐标错误导致标准运行期间出现这样的空中翻滚，那就太奇怪了。” 格连吉克（Gelendzhik）距离乌克兰边境大约 250 到 300 英里，这里也是普京一座庞大宫殿的所在地。 根据已故反对派领导人阿列克谢·纳瓦尔尼（Alexei Navalny）的一项调查和纪录片，据报道，这位俄罗斯暴君在 2022 年花费了相当于 $9.56 亿来完成他的私人度假村。
据《Agency》刊物的一篇报道，该海滩还位于俄罗斯关键火箭和航天生产公司之一——NVO 机器制造公司（NVO Machine-Building Company）的一个分支机构附近。 乌克兰尚未对此事件发表评论，也未透露该无人机的目标是什么。

KANYE WEST 和他几乎不着衣的妻子比安卡·森索里（Bianca Censori）在一个以派对闻名的地方引发了一场“马戏团”般的混乱。两人被发现在伊比萨岛的 Casa Jondal 和 DC10 出现，一名消息人士告诉我们，森索里“在任何地方几乎都全裸，在桌子上跳舞，而 Kanye 为她录像”。 该消息人士说：“他们在大闹场子。毫无疑问，当他走进房间时，他就创造了一个马戏团，”并指出这对夫妇“显然沉溺于每个人给他们的所有关注之中”。一张照片显示森索里穿着一件透明的连体衣。在西班牙这座岛屿的其他地方，莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥（Leonardo DiCaprio）和他的女友维多利亚·切雷蒂（Vittoria Ceretti）则采取了相反的做法，利奥试图戴着棒球帽隐匿行踪。
斯科特·伊斯特伍德详细讲述了他在出演 2014 年电影《狂怒》期间，与“精神病患者”希亚·拉博夫在片场发生的冲突。
“希亚显然被折磨得心力交瘁，可能有些心理问题，”伊斯特伍德（见上图）在昨天的“Armchair Expert”播客节目中说道。“有一天，他发作了，认为我不应该在坦克上吐烟草——但这是在剧本里的。最后我说……‘去你的。别在那儿搞这些烂事。’我说，‘我要把你揍扁。’” 40 岁的伊斯特伍德表示，合作演员布拉德·皮特不得不出面化解这次“紧张时刻”。第六页 (纽约邮报娱乐版) 已联系拉博夫的代表。
大卫·扎斯拉夫努力奋斗了一番，但即便投入 $80 million，也未能让他在这场撼动纽约富裕的威斯特彻斯特县的营地之战中赢得最终胜利。这位华纳兄弟公司的 CEO 希望在“夏令营之王”迈克尔和大卫·沙布塞尔兄弟价值 $400 million 的夏令营帝国破产后，挽救他的孩子们就读的营地。据告知，扎斯拉夫最初对莫霍克日间营（Mohawk Day Camp）——他成年子女儿时就读的营地——出价 $6800 万，由于竞价战异常激烈，扎斯拉夫将出价提高到了惊人的 $80 million。
不幸的是，这仍然不够。我们听说有几个实体参与了竞价，其中一名据称的房地产对冲基金经理为该营地开出了近 $100 million 的价格。
一名熟悉此次竞标的消息人士告诉第六页 (纽约邮报娱乐版)，扎斯拉夫提高出价的原因是他“希望将其作为一种家庭纽带”。
扎斯拉夫此前告诉第六页 (纽约邮报娱乐版)：“这是一项个人的家庭投资，反映了我们终身以来的一种信念，即夏令营可以是孩子成长过程中美妙的一部分，而且莫霍克营地对于包括我们孩子在内的许多孩子来说，都是一段成功的营地经历。”
莫霍克营地是今年夏天伊始陷入破产的 30 个营地之一，由此引发了房地产“大鳄”、营地校友、医疗保健巨头等势力之间的争夺战。
据《纽约邮报》记者亚历克斯·迪亚斯报道，一份新出土的文件显示，库尔特·科本的遗孀考特尼·爱曾经要求警方将其死亡案件的档案移交给她，且西雅图警察局不得保留任何副本。科本的遗孀于 Oct. 20, 1995 提出了这一请求，当时距离他被发现头部中弹身亡已过去大约一年半。调查人员宣布科本之死为自杀，爱对此表示认同，但认为这是一起谋杀案的研究人员一直在游说要求重启此案。
现已披露，一名代表这位 Hole 乐队主唱的律师于 1995 年写信给西雅图警察局局长，寻求获取关于科本之死的所有调查文件。
“本信函旨在请求将西雅图警察局关于科本先生之死的完整调查档案交付给我，且该局不再保留任何进一步的记录或副本，”律师布莱恩·科卢乔在被“谁杀了库尔特？”研究小组发现的信函中这样写道。科卢乔表示，之所以提出此请求，是因为“有几个人”试图通过“销售和分发与”科本之死“相关的资料”来牟利。爱的代表、西雅图警察局以及科卢乔均未回应置评请求。
一名消息人士告诉第六页 (纽约邮报娱乐版)，拉夫·劳伦 (Ralph Lauren) 和里基·劳伦 (Ricky Lauren) 刚刚完成了他们位于蒙托克海滨宽阔庄园的数百万美元翻新工程。几十年来，这位时尚偶像通过收购三块相邻地块，悄悄组建了一个近 10 英亩的地产，其中包括传奇剧作《动物园故事》作者爱德华·阿尔比 (Edward Albee) 的前宅，劳伦于 2018. 年以 $16 的价格购入。我们获悉，这对时尚夫妇的孩子大卫以及糖果店老板迪伦在庄园内也拥有房产。谈到装修，一名消息人士告诉我们：“就像住在拉夫·劳伦的店里一样。太完美了，”并将这种审美描述为“简约、低调且时髦”。劳伦的代表拒绝评论。据报道，该房产拥有两个网球场和两个游泳池。劳伦在 20 世纪 80 年代初购买了第一处房产——一座由弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特 (Frank Lloyd Wright) 的合伙人安东宁·雷蒙德 (Antonin Raymond) 在 1940 年建造的住宅。这对夫妇以注重私密和家庭著称，一名消息人士告诉我们，他们倾向于避开该地区的社交圈。
像扎斯拉夫 (Zaslav) 这样富有的媒体高管也想分一杯羹。营地合伙人社区内部担心，外来者只对接管土地并将他们赶走感兴趣。“其中一些人声称他们只想成为沉默的合伙人，但他们实际上想改变这些已经运营了几代人的营地，”一名消息人士表示。对冲基金，如 Rubric Capital 和 Drazin Capital 的萨姆·德拉津 (Sam Drazin)，也在从沙布塞尔 (Shabsels) 破产的资产中“扫货营地”。我们获悉，这些基金的负责人成立了 American Youth Camping，以竞标至少五处房产，其中包括 $14.6 的 Echo 营地和 $5.4 的北极星 (North Star) 营地。
布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀 (Bruce Springsteen) 庆祝妻子帕蒂·夏尔法 (Patti Scialfa) 在被诊断出患有血液癌八年后已脱离癌症。这位演唱过《Dancing in the Dark》的歌手在周六以虚拟方式出席波士顿 Pan-Mass Challenge 募捐活动时分享了这一消息，该活动旨在为达纳-法伯癌症研究所 (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) 筹集资金。“帕蒂与她的多发性骨髓瘤斗争了八年多，但现在，感谢上苍，她已处于缓解期，”他说道。76, 岁的斯普林斯汀赞扬了她的医疗团队，并表示他能“每天”看到达纳-法伯研究所所开展的工作，夏尔法（见上图）在那里接受了治疗。73, 岁的夏尔法在 2018 年被诊断出患癌，但一直将其保密，直到 2024, 年她在纪录片《公路日记：布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀与 E 街乐队》中出现。

遗弃
共产主义者的定义：一个将他的“一无所有”与每个人分享的人。 由于彼此互为工作人员，共产主义者不需要敌人。 《真理报》曾举办过一次最佳政治笑话比赛。 一等奖是什么？ 20年监禁。 我们当地的情况在走下坡路。汉普顿每 3 个人里就有 1 个是房地产经纪人。 市内的生意现在糟糕到，那些甚至不愿付钱的人也停止购买了。 多亏了“零废品”的马姆达尼（Crapdammy），我们的城市——曾经几乎有 9 million ——现在有近 800 万 在长岛高速公路（LIE）上堵车。 在现在的犹太会堂里，闭上眼睛风险自担。 俄罗斯信用卡的广告语很甜美：“不要出门。” 本地的一切都在走下坡路。如果员工问老板：“什么东西在走（离开）？”老板会说：“你！” 老年人们正匆忙向南迁移。佛罗里达现在充斥着饥饿的年轻短吻鳄，它们开着老年人的车，并且无论 / 谁 / 哪个新的职责——如果需要的话——可能突然需要去处理——就像——在深夜里。 就像深夜。 深夜。 突然地。 男人呢？ 全部秃顶。 棕榈滩的理发师羡慕有头发的顾客——对他们来说，头皮屑都是一种刺激。 而新到来的人们到达那里后去哪里？去一家画布是用蜡笔画的艺术画廊。或者去吃一顿下午 4:30 的迟到晚餐，结果只是在你的运动鞋上抹了番茄酱。
听好了，世界： 这座不夜城正在沉睡。而这个满嘴胡言的垃圾市长却没有！他不仅热衷于免费巴士、冻结租金、增加税收和空荡荡的杂货店。绝不！！！我们的纽约聪明人——我们的才智、我们的房地产经纪人、我们的商业天才——难道不听吗？
他的目标是摧毁纽约。 杀死它。 使其麻木。毁掉它。 将其抹除。关闭它。 停掉它。制止它。 将其中和。 不要仅仅是不关注。他憎恨成功。憎恨富人。 憎恨犹太人。 他的意图是毁掉纽约。
市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼 (Zohran Mamdani) 及类似的极左翼政治家正在毁掉纽约。
在马姆达尼之前，一些朋友有一个全方位的计划，旨在接下来的 5 年内实现某些投资目标——比如“扯平”。他们的公司刚刚关闭。他们现在在塞考克斯 (Secaucus) 的分时度假名单上。 社区银行正在倒闭。忘掉那个拍摄银行抢劫犯照片的相机吧。我的银行现在有个伙计在画炭笔素描。 一个家伙花了一年时间开设新的银行账户。拿到了免费的收音机、烤面包机、电视、行李箱、锅、平底锅、盘子。上周他取回了押金，开了一家自己的折扣店。 纽约被毁得如此之惨，以至于一个骗子向路人要 20 美元。路人说：“20 美元？要这么多也太多了。”骗子说：“是的，但我今晚想早点收工。” 廉价吗？这位市长在口香糖机不收信用卡时会生气。 每个人都在努力省钱。共产主义者对他不忠的妻子说：“站在你情人的身后。我要把你们两个一起毙了。” 莫斯科电视台的一则大广告：“你要求了，你得到了——苦役。” 注：资本主义是当你妻子拥有所有东西时。 马姆达尼式则是当国家拥有所有东西时。 马姆达尼最爱的西伯利亚里的主要游戏：“捉迷藏，且永远不要被找到。”
我们这位“迷你市长”的一个喜剧演员朋友坚持要在浴缸里结婚。为什么？他想要一个“双环”仪式（Double ring ceremony，双关语，指戒指和浴缸）。 孩子们，只有在纽约才会这样，只有在纽约。

萨福克郡达成和解
作者：Brandon Cruz
根据一项新的和解协议，萨福克郡必须支付高达近 $60 million，以解决一起关于其现已失效的红灯摄像头罚单中被强加的 $30 “行政费”的诉讼。
这项在长岛地区期待已久的协议于本周达成，将向司机最高补偿 $57.5 million —— 或者说，针对他们在 2013 和 2023 之间收到的每张罚单，最高补偿 $36 —— 这些非法费用是前郡执行官 Steve Bellone 领导的政府在每张罚单中额外增加的。
“我们很高兴能达成一个对集体诉讼成员公平，同时也能保护萨福克郡纳税人利益的解决方案，”原告方律师 Christopher Clayton 表示。
“这场诉讼始于上一届政府，过程漫长且复杂 —— 这次和解让此事得到了一个负责任的结论，并允许郡政府继续向前发展，”他说道。
在 2013 和 2023 之间的 10 年期间，萨福克郡向闯红灯的司机收取 $50 罚款 —— 但随后又加收了 $30 的 “行政费”，该项收费在 2024 年被州上诉法院判定为非法。
这起集体诉讼最早于 2016, 提起，旨在追回萨福克和拿骚两个郡通过增加附加费而私自吞掉的数百万美元。
在最新批准的和解协议下，萨福克郡同意为每张罚单向司机偿还最高 $36 —— 其中 $30 为行政费，$6 为利息 —— 但最终金额可能会根据申请退款的司机人数而减少。
无论如何，总金额维持在 $57.5 million，目前尚不清楚有多少人会寻求退款。
邻近的拿骚郡在 2024, 之前每张罚单强加了高达 $100 的非法费用，目前仍在法庭上进行抗辩，试图避免偿还 $400 million。
作为新达成协议的一部分，萨福克郡将向被开罚单的司机总共支付最高 $45 million，除此之外还需支付该计划的行政成本以及另外 $12.5 million 的律师费。
符合条件的萨福克郡司机很快会收到一封邮件，告知他们成为了该郡“抢钱”行为的受害者，并可通过传单上的指南申请退款。
现任郡执行官 Ed Romaine 在 2024 年 12 月，即上诉法院判定附加费非法后不久，在他上任的第一年年底终止了萨福克的红灯摄像头计划。

周二，纽约市地区的三家医院在《美国新闻与世界报道》的年度“荣誉榜”中赢得了令人垂涎的名额，该榜单仅面向全国在多个专科领域提供卓越医疗服务的前20家医院。 纽约大学朗格尼医院（NYU Langone Hospitals）、西奈山医院（Mount Sinai Hospital）以及纽约-长老会医院-哥伦比亚和康奈尔分院（New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell）在该刊物的最佳医院排名中获得了认可。 这三家医院在纽约大都市区最佳区域医院的排名中也并列第一。 《美国新闻与世界报道》对全美近4,500家医院的14个成人专科以及23项手术和病症进行了评估。仅有16%的医院获得了“最佳医院”称号。 纽约大学朗格尼医疗中心（NYU Langone Health）维持了全美排名第一的专科数量和前10名专科数量最高纪录，在其13个排名的临床专科中，有12个位列前10名。 “纽约大学朗格尼通过我们才华横溢且敬业的护理团队实现了这些顶尖排名，”纽约大学朗格尼医疗中心首席执行官Alec C. Kimmelman博士表示。 朗格尼还连续第五年在神经内科和神经外科领域排名第一，并在心脏病学、心脏及血管外科领域连续第二年排名第一。 纽约大学朗格尼还在所有23项手术和病症中获得了高性能认定。 这一认可涵盖了位于曼哈顿的纽约大学朗格尼蒂施医院（Tisch Hospital）、金梅尔展馆（Kimmel Pavilion）和纽约大学朗格尼骨科医院，以及纽约大学朗格尼长岛医院和纽约大学朗格尼-布鲁克林医院。 纽约-长老会医院-哥伦比亚和康奈尔分院在八个专科领域位列全美前五，随着眼科今年首次入榜，该院成为唯一一家在全部14个专科领域均进入前20名的纽约医院。 它还继续被认定为最佳社区医疗区域医院。 “这一成就反映了我们的医生、护士和团队非凡的奉献、专业知识和同情心，”院长兼首席执行官Brian G. Donley博士告诉《纽约邮报》。 西奈山医院在两个专科——心脏病学、心脏及血管外科和老年医学——中位列前五，同时在癌症领域位列前10名。它也被认定为最佳社区医疗区域医院。 “这次认可反映了……在建立医生、护士和其他护理团队成员方面的努力，他们将患者的安全、质量和体验放在我们所有工作的中心，”西奈山医疗系统首席临床官David L. Reich博士告诉《纽约邮报》。
特朗普总统周一指责美国检察官珍妮恩·皮罗（Jeanine Pirro）在撤销对前奥运选手大卫·希恩（David Hearn）的指控时表现得“像把雨伞一样迅速折叠”（指轻率放弃），而不是坚持该案件，该案指控这位划艇运动员破坏了国家广场的镜面池。 “法官对珍妮恩极其不友好，坦率地说，我认为她怂了，”特朗普周一对椭圆形办公室的记者表示。“法官非常凶狠。法官没有追究干这件事的人，反而针对她和她的部门，我想她怂了。”
“我对珍妮恩·皮罗感到失望。真的对珍妮恩·皮罗很失望，”他补充道。“她像把雨伞一样迅速折叠了。” 皮罗的办公室在周五提交了撤销动议，理由是由道格·伯格姆（Doug Burgum）部长领导的内政部“在该案开始时提供的信息不够详尽”。 然而，推动镜面池翻修——甚至亲自监督翻修——的特朗普将怒火集中在皮罗身上。 “皮罗犯了错误。确实发生了破坏行为，”他说。“有些人做了事能逃脱，这是一种耻辱。” Emily Goodin

在过去的三年里， Ariana Grande 在我们眼前 日渐消瘦。 无论剖析一个人的身体 会让我们感到多么不适， 我们都需要对此进行讨论。 因为全世界有数亿人 在社交媒体上关注 Grande， 其中许多是年轻、易受影响的女孩 —— 她们正在发育的身体形象 和心理健康取决于此。 而且，因为 Grande 本人 也发起了这场对话， 她创作并拍摄了一支音乐视频， 在视频中，她残酷地杀死了 一桌子剖析她的身体和形象的男人。 她可能打算用这支为新单曲 《Petal》拍摄的短片来终止这场对话， 但面对她凸出的锁骨和 骨瘦如柴的身体成了 整个视频中最主导的特征， 我们怎能不讨论？
沉默之歌
在 33 岁时，Grande 在 2024 和 2025 年的《Wicked》及《Wicked: For Good》宣传之旅期间 就已经瘦得令人担忧。 随后在她最近的 Eternal Sunshine 巡演中， 人们无法不注意到她那像树枝一样、 憔悴且，没错，看起来很可怕的身体。 但她最新的《Petal》 视频是最让人无法忽视的。 在片中，Grande 饰演 Pepper， 一个在好莱坞追梦的女孩， 她被选角导演一次又一次地 告知她还不够优秀。 当一群男人批评她的外貌 和体重时，其中一个角色写下 一张便条（尽管 Grande 的 体态 显然 已骨瘦如柴），称 Pepper “减掉几磅也没坏处”。 最终，Grande 饰演的角色 —— 简直是她昔日自我的影子 —— 崩溃了，她用一台轰鸣的 电锯，血腥地将这排批评者 砍死，在血迹斑斑中获胜而出。 但她身体那令人惊恐的消瘦状态， 掩盖了这部音乐视频 可能想要传递的任何关于自我 或女性赋权的意图。 而当你看到她在场景中 站在一群健康得近乎无礼的 其他女性身边或坐在一起时， 情况就更加令人不安。
给年轻女孩的信息
是的，保持沉默并安抚那些 认为我们应该离她远一点的 粉丝会更容易。 但这样传达给我们的年轻妹妹、 表妹和女儿们的信息将是： 这很正常。
这意味着她们质疑自己的身体 为什么不像她那样是正常的。 这意味着如果她们试图 模仿她的样子，没有人会阻拦。 作为一个 29 岁的女性， 我在青少年时期就开始与 身体形象问题作斗争， 且至今仍深受困扰， 看到我们对此坐视不管且保持沉默， 我心碎不已。 虽然 Grande 体重减轻的 具体个人原因并不是 —— 或至少 不应该是 —— 公众关注的事， 但我们的女孩需要知道， 这样的身体形态并非常态。
此外，她们需要知道， 如果她们的身体没有那么瘦， 那是没关系的 —— 且更重要的是， 是健康的。 衰弱或病态绝对不是目标。 质疑这种日益增长的、 将纤细等同于优秀、成功 和渴望的社会观念， 在我看来并不像是爱管闲事。 相反，我认为这对于我们 最爱的女孩们的心理健康 而言，是一个合理的担忧。
现实情况是，我们的女孩们正在关注——极其字面地定义，在社交媒体上持续关注，因为她们的偶像通过 Instagram、TikTok 和 Pinterest 不断向她们推送。无论这些对话会引发多少愤怒，为了她们，我们都有责任进行这些讨论，前提是我们拥有必要的同理心、慈悲心和批判性眼光来妥善地引导。模特兼身体正向主义活动家查理·霍华德（Charli Howard）在最近关于格兰德（Grande）最新项目的 Instagram 帖子中说得最透彻，她提到了自己作为进食障碍幸存者的过去，并表达了讨论此类内容以及它们可能给女性和女孩带来的伤害是多么地“至关重要”。
“你在這裡看到的並不正常，”霍华德发帖称。“在过去的几周里，随着亚里亚娜（Ariana）演唱会的图像在网上到处传播，我显然看到了担忧粉丝的评论，但我也看到其他人在说服他人，认为她看起来‘健康’，或者她只是‘瘦了婴儿肥’。有些人甚至拿此开玩笑。”
“我看到的是一个人急需住院治疗和护理，”她继续说道，尽管需要注意的是，格兰德及其任何代表都从未公开确认过任何形式的进食障碍或健康问题。但随着 Skinny-Tok 的兴起，人们日益关注诱导减肥的肽类药物（甚至针对青少年），以及“以瘦为美”文化的常态化，对于我们生活中那些年轻且易受影响的人来说，看到一个在审美和价值观方面都能提供灵感的正确榜样就显得更加重要了。

灯光，摄像机，路易吉？ 路易吉·曼焦内（Luigi Mangione）希望尽可能多的人观看他即将到来的曼哈顿谋杀案审判——要求对其进行现场直播，并要求法官采取其他措施，增加媒体进入这一轰动案件的权限。 这名 28 岁的被告被指控杀害了 UnitedHealthcare 首席执行官布莱恩·汤普森（Brian Thompson），他上周敦促州最高法院法官格雷格里·卡罗（Gregory Carro）确保其审判被实时直播——否则请解释为什么公众无法实时观看此案。 该案的陪审团筛选定于 9 月 8 日开始。 曼焦内还要求法院在法院大楼内通过实时“溢出”馈送频道播放审判，以便所有到场观看的记者或公众成员都能跟进庭审进展。 “刑事被告获得公开审理的基本权利，以及所有寻求报道的新闻记者对其进行报道，对于司法行政的基本运作至关重要……”他的律师周五在给法院的信中写道。 纽约刑事审判的现场直播片段通常被州法院系统禁止——目的正是为了保护像曼焦内这样的被告。 Ben Kochman
官员周一表示，华盛顿州斯波坎市郊区的山火已持续第三天，摧毁了至少 700 栋建筑，并迫使该州第二大人口城市及其周边数万名居民逃离家园。
这三起聚集的火灾被列为美国的最高消防优先级，其中包括干旱严重的太平洋西北地区，那里数十场重大山火已燃烧数周，导致广大地区的空气质量恶化。
自周六爆发以来，斯波坎地区的火灾已烧毁 8,000 英亩以上的土地。 路透社
美国的业主协会（HOA）正面临资金短缺——以及耐心的丧失。
在保险费上涨、储备资金枯竭以及佛罗里达州 Surfside 共管公寓崩塌后加强安全措施的背景下，全美数十万个业主协会正在严厉打击欠费居民。
更令人震惊的是，业主协会正在跳过宽限期，直接将欠费账户移交给律师。
据房地产分析公司 Attom 的数据（由《华尔街日报》报道），业主协会的止赎案件在两年内激增近 40%，第一季度达到 6,376 处房产，其增长速度超过了整体抵押贷款止赎率。
代表业主处理业主协会纠纷的加利福尼亚州律师 Kirk Pearson 告诉《纽约邮报》：“这些止赎销售‘与大多数止赎一样，通常是以拍卖形式进行’。”
“如果房产在拍卖中售出，业主拥有 90 天的赎回权，可以通过支付任何欠款以及任何催收费用和成本来买回房产。如果在止赎销售中没有竞标者，那么业主协会将获得该房产的所有权。随后，业主协会可以将该房产保留、出售、转交给持有高级留置权的银行，或允许银行进行止赎。”
业主通常被要求在止赎销售后的赎回期内结清其欠缴的会费、费用和法律成本。
在宾夕法尼亚州经营抵押贷款止赎法律业务的 Stephen M. Hladik 告诉《纽约邮报》：“在某些州，比如宾夕法尼亚州，业主没有‘赎回权’，这意味着在警长拍卖的落槌之刻，业主不再有权偿还债务。”
“业主协会的止赎销售可能会受到各种留置权和抵押权的限制，买家应当研究该房产存在哪些类型的留置权，以及这些留置权在止赎销售后是否仍然有效。”
Pearson 表示，漏缴的会费通常只是账单的一小部分——真正的负担来自不断膨胀的催收成本。业主协会经常将欠款处理外包给专业的催收公司，这些公司通过在未偿余额上附加高额费用来获利。
这位加州律师指出，更糟糕的是，这些公司通常由为业主协会提供建议的同一家企业律师事务所所有。这给业主协会的法律团队提供了一个丰厚的财务动机，促使他们激进地追求止赎，而不是帮助居民解决债务。
数百万美国人是业主协会社区的一员，而那里的会费正在上涨。
房地产技术公司 Benutech 的联合创始人 Brian Fox 告诉《日报》：“业主协会正被迫采取更激进的催收措施，以避免自身的财务崩溃。”
在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市郊一个拥有 80 户住宅的 Magnolia Cove 社区，家庭们正面临着月业主协会会费从 $350 增加到 $1,250 的压力，此外还被额外加上了 $10,000 的特别评估费。
追踪业主协会欠费趋势和止赎情况的 Benutech 告诉《日报》，2025 年，业主协会提交了超过 285,000 份留置权申请，比前一年增长了约 8.8%。
除了欠款问题，业主协会在保险费、人员配备、草坪护理和材料方面的成本一直在上升。长岛一个业主协会的年保险费从 $60,000 激增至 $360,000。
此外，还有执行更严格安全措施的费用。这些措施是在香普兰南塔公寓部分坍塌后制定的，那是一场在 2021 年夺走 98 条生命的悲剧。随着未缴纳的费用引发法律争端和维护延迟，日益严重的资金危机不仅威胁到单个业主，还在拉低整个社区的房产价值。
在许多州，“超级优先”法律甚至允许业主协会（HOA）在银行之前，因未缴费而对房产行使抵押权赎回权。据《华尔街日报》发现，弗洛伊德·梅威瑟二世在拉斯维加斯的住宅从 2025, 1月起便背负了 $25,000 的未缴费用，外加利息和法律费用。
梅威瑟的律师表示，未缴费用源于会计疏忽，在最近对该拳击手的财务团队进行重组后，该问题已得到解决。

富奇的权力将其埋葬在幼稚的政治之下
在 COVID-19 带来的灾难中，我们必须吸取的众多教训中，有一个教训尤为突出：不再需要富奇这样的人。我并不是说要防止那些琐碎、爱摆姿态的公职人员进入权力岗位；那可能要求太高了。安东尼·富奇在上周证明了自己同时具备这两点，当时他在国会听证会上 111 次援引第五修正案以回避问题——但最终还是让自己被定罪。他的闪躲看起来很糟糕，而其日记的公开则让他显得更糟：一个肤浅、虚荣、不诚实的人，比起履行职责（而他履行得很差），他更关心政治和媒体报道。虽然我很乐意看到富奇在被告席上，但他的名誉崩塌不能成为 COVID reckoning（清算）的终点。所以让我重复一遍：不再需要富奇这样的人。我的意思是，我们绝不能再次允许一个官僚或一小群人行使那种由富奇掌控了数十年的、广泛且在很大程度上不受监督的体制权力。
富奇从 1984 年起一直担任国家过敏和传染病研究所所长，直到 2022 年底。在这个岗位上，他是监督美国政府资助的传染病、免疫学、过敏及相关领域大部分研究的高级联邦官员。对于任何人来说，领导一个官僚机构 38 年时间太长了。虽然富奇并没有控制美国所有的生物医学研究——整个 NIH、其他联邦机构、私人基金会和工业界投入的资金更多——但他在 NIAID 的长期任职使他具有极大的影响力。在他指导下的累计资金达到了数百亿美元。在 9 / 11 事件后，NIAID 成为针对 A 类病原体（如炭疽和天花）、疫苗、诊断和医疗应对措施的生物防御研究的首席民用机构。这包括扩大对“具有潜在双重用途的研究”的工作——即针对既可用于治疗疾病，也可被恶意传播的病原体的研究。富奇连续四十年任职，这在 NIH 研究所所长中是前所未有的，赋予了他深厚的体制知

轻蔑：福齐上周拒绝回答参议员的提问。
优势、政府各部门的关系以及极高的公众知名度。在任职这么久之后，他到处都有关系——并且他乐在其中地利用这些关系。 得罪他的人不太可能获得资助；而讨好他的人则有更好的机会。难怪他将自己视为科学本身的化身。 但科学并不是某种“人”的状态，而是人们所从事的“活动”。它是一个通过测试、支持或证伪假设，并进一步发展的系统。而让一个人——带着他所有的人类偏见和弱点——在如此长的时间里掌握科学领域如此大的权力，只会对该系统造成损害。 不仅仅是福齐。看看阿尔茨海默病的研究领域，几十年来，所谓的“淀粉样蛋白黑手党”（Amyloid Mafia）——一个由科学家、拨款评审员、期刊把关人、会议组织者和行业人物组成的强大且自我强化的网络——一直在推动该疾病的淀粉样蛋白级联假设。 哈佛大学的丹尼斯·塞尔考（Dennis Selkoe）和南加州大学的保罗·艾森（Paul Aisen）等关键人物，确保了他们钟爱的理论优先于其他替代方案。在该领域，如果提案不包含淀粉样蛋白的角度，几乎不可能获得拨款批准，而推行替代假设的论文经常被拒绝。 与此同时，基于淀粉样蛋白假设的药物并没有真正见效——而且其中一篇推广该理论的最重要论文在 2022, 被证实是造假。 据调查记者查尔斯·皮勒（Charles Piller）在其去年出版的《Doctored》一书中详细描述的“欺诈、傲慢与悲剧”，淀粉样蛋白小圈子那种乱伦且自我保护的性质，意味着十年或更多的潜在进展被白白浪费。（这是一个我个人深有感触的损失：我的母亲患有阿尔茨海默病，目前在记忆护理中心；我的父亲在去世前也深受此病困扰。） 科学群体思维的始祖是苏联的李森科主义学派，这是一种受马克思主义影响的进化论，在俄罗斯农业领域主导了三个十年，结果极其惨烈。但由于约瑟夫·斯大林发现特罗 fim·李森科所主张的概念很合心意，因此反驳这些观点是极其危险的。 科学是通过批评、对话以及对广泛认知的信念提出挑战而进步的——即使这些信念是由掌权者持有的。如果一个系统允许权势者将资金导向朋友而排斥批评者，那么该系统往往会做出糟糕的科学研究，或者根本没有科学研究。 换句话说，科学永远不会真正地“定论”——而坚持认为科学可以定论，是新冠疫情年间最具破坏性的信息之一。 我们需要修复 NIAID、NIH 和其他科学机构，使开放沟通和思想多样化变得更容易，并让顶层人物更难建立帝国并扼杀批评者。 再也不要出现福齐这样的人了。
体面 专栏：大学体育法案的致命缺陷 全美大学体育协会（NCAA）将《保护大学体育法案》宣传为解决其“大学美式足球、联盟重组以及姓名-形象-似像（NIL）”问题的方案。但《华尔街日报》的金·琼斯（Kim Jones）强烈指出，“NCAA 及其说客并未告诉任何人”，该法案是“让男性进入女性大学体育项目的特洛伊木马”。 其中一项条款将阻碍保护女性体育的联邦诉讼，“停止追究 NCAA 在 Title IX 项下的责任”，并取消“州政府对学校体育中女性和女孩的保护”。不要相信 NCAA，因为它“允许成员学校让男性加入女性队伍”，并“允许男性将自己定义为女性并使用女性更衣室”。 美国的“女性运动员理应享有 Title IX 的全面保护”。“解决美式足球问题，解决 NIL 问题，但不要让 NCAA 免于承担 Title IX 和州法的约束。”

《华盛顿审查者》（Washington Examiner）编辑部警告称，休达的边境冲击——“数万名适龄服役男子入侵”这个西班牙飞地——揭示了“美国民主社会主义者的集体大赦和开放边境政策在实践中会是什么样子”。西班牙社会党总理佩德罗·桑切斯在“我们欠移民前来这里的权利”这一前提下，显著地“实施”了西方左翼共有的“集体大赦和开放边境”之梦，因为资本主义“据称摧毁了这些国家的经济”——而事实上是“社会主义政策”让“他们自己的人民陷入苦难”。社会主义者现在试图整体地“进口这种苦难”，而当“政府将边境执法从主权义务转变为一场意识形态上的愧疚练习”时，就会发生这种情况。
《华盛顿时报》（The Washington Times）的罗伯特·奈特认为，共和党人在中期选举中不应“恐慌”，而应采取一场“大胆的、无需道歉的品牌宣传活动”。回想乔·拜登总统执政下的恐怖景象，当时汽油价格为“每加仑$5，通货膨胀率飙升至9%，数百万未经审查的非法移民涌过边境”，而伊朗距离“获得核武”仅剩数周。“传递的信息是：如果你在任何层级的选举中投票给民主党，你就是在召唤那些糟糕的旧日子”，而且“你也在为美国民主社会主义者”及其“古怪的、反美议程”提供便利。共和党的广告应当“展示两党之间鲜明的道德反差”，从民主党纵容的“数十亿美元诈骗”，到针对幼儿园儿童的疯子般亲跨性别宣传，再到民主党接纳反犹且仇视美国的哈桑·皮克（Hasan Piker），后者声称美国罪有应得地遭遇了9 / 11。 “让民主党为这一切负责。”
道格拉斯·E·肖恩（Douglas E. Schoen）和卡莉·库珀曼（Carly Cooperman）在《国会山报》（The Hill）中指出，众议员海莉·史蒂文斯（Haley Stevens）与阿卜杜拉·埃尔-赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed）争夺密歇根州民主党参议院提名之战是“2026周期中最具争议的初选”，而民主党在秋季的获胜“对于该党夺回参议院的机会至关重要”。糟糕的是：“埃尔-赛义德在竞选最后几天似乎正获得相当大的势头”，但在“独立选民和黑人选民（密歇根州两个至关重要的群体）”中难以获得支持。调查显示，他落后于共和党人迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers）10个百分点，而“史蒂文斯和罗杰斯几乎持平”。因此，可能的进步派初选胜利将增加“进步派赢得了局部战斗，却导致民主党输掉整体战争的概率”。

《理智》（Reason）杂志的J.D.图奇尔愤怒地指出，市长佐兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）“打包发布的附加费目标名单”具有“潜在危险”，但其支持者在为他辩护，称“税务和财产信息”是公开的。原始数据确实公开，但这个精选名单被编译成了一个易于搜索的文件，这完全是两码事。而且该税项打击的是价值$1的公寓和合作公寓；按照纽约市的标准，“这些业主并不一定是顶级富豪。但他们足够富裕，能让这位社会主义市长的支持者陷入一种嫉妒的狂热，这可能正是其意图。”在我们这个“仇恨武器化的时代，仅仅被怀疑成功就可能让你登上政治家的敌人名单”。 — 由纽约邮报编辑部编译

据报道，沙特阿拉伯说服了特朗普总统取消原定于周末对伊朗发起的规模巨大的袭击；那么该王国现在是否能履行这一要求所隐含的长期义务？也就是说：如果利雅得希望帮助塑造美国政策，它就需要扮演一个完整的美国盟友角色，并拿出实际行动——无论是通过某种方式促使伊朗真正重新开放霍尔木兹海峡并去核化，还是通过投入巨大的财务和军事资源，支持一场能够迫使德黑兰屈服的严肃军事行动。
特朗普表示，他之所以在周六暂停袭击，是因为该王国和其他海湾国家要求他这么做：据沙特媒体报道，穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼王储敦促总统优先考虑“通过对话降低紧张局势”并“防止冲突扩大”。然而，德黑兰显然并不想“降低紧张局势”，并且确信威胁要引发“更广泛的冲突”正是其在谈判中获得战场上无法赢得之物的手段。如果沙特统治者无论如何都希望华盛顿退让，那么他就需要投入更多的筹码。
我们理解：王储担心如果美国军队袭击，伊朗会对沙特关键地点进行报复。
左翼人士再次证明，没有什么事是他们不能归咎于犹太人的，他们声称 50,000 人冲破摩洛哥与西班牙边境的行为是一个以色列的阴谋。在为社会主义造反者奔波于竞选活动之余，“11 / 9 爱好者”哈桑·派克（Hasan Piker）告诉他的 Twitch 观众：“以色列和美国让摩洛哥政府将大约 40,000 人送入了西班牙管辖领土。”以色列是如何做到的？“我不知道，伙计，”哈桑……解释道？
并非只有这个幼稚的播客主在推销这种胡言乱语：长期担任人权观察组织负责人的肯尼思·罗斯（Kenneth Roth）指出了以色列诱骗 50,000 名摩洛哥人入侵休塔的所谓动机：西班牙“控制着直布罗陀海峡的两岸”，并且“有可能封锁以色列进入大西洋的通道”——耶路撒冷希望其名义上的盟友摩洛哥能够掌控与直布罗陀相邻的休塔。
与“爱泼斯坦世界”有任何关联，都会让你不适合在曼达尼市长的市政厅担任哪怕是一个顾问角色——但与恐怖分子的类似联系却没问题。市政厅表示，它拒绝了在考虑担任法官推荐小组的人选中唯一的一位犹太人，理由是约翰·莱文塔尔（John Leventhal）曾担任吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦尔（Ghislaine Maxwell）的上诉律师，这在市长看来导致了对法律系统的“信心丧失”。嗯：曼达尼选择担任首席法律顾问（提供高级法律和战略指导）的人是拉姆齐·卡塞姆（Ramzi Kassem），他曾为基地组织恐怖分子辩护。难怪许多 9 / 11 受害者家属不希望市长在 25 周年纪念活动期间出现在世贸中心原址（Ground Zero）附近？
美国最古老的持续出版的日报
伊朗的发电厂或其他关键基础设施；其他海湾国家也有类似的担忧。但尽管外交博弈从未取得进展，却长期推迟采取严肃打击，这只会延长该地区和世界的痛苦。MBS（穆罕默德·本·萨尔曼）肯定不想看到伊朗拥有核武器或控制该海峡并收取保护费；唯一的另一个选择是持续且强有力的军事和金融压力。利雅得已经变得强硬了：早在 5 月，它就拒绝美国军队使用沙特领空和基地来保卫海峡内的船只；据报道，上周它参与了（有限的）美国打击行动。这才是正确的方向：沙特人不能一直躲在美国的安保毯下，而这把毯子已经保护了该王国数十年。
沙特对伊朗威胁的理智回应不是绥靖，而是更强的威慑、防御——甚至是进攻。所有海湾国家都将从一个被拔掉牙齿的伊朗和一个完全重新开放的海峡中获益匪浅；挺身而出并加入美国使命符合他们的利益。MBS 需要停止这种双面话术，否则他不值得被倾听。要么领导，要么跟随，要么让路。
然而，西班牙并没有“控制该海峡的两侧”；英国拥有直布罗陀。至于马德里会因为对加沙感到愤怒而关闭国际航道，从而冒着激怒全世界的风险，这种想法简直可笑。其他持有同样偏执想法的反犹分子并推动这一阴谋论的人包括“青年土耳其人”（Young Turks）主持人安娜·卡斯帕里安（Ana Kasparian）和演员哈维尔·巴登（Javier Bardem）。当然，这紧随最近的指控之后，这些指控声称犹太国家是所有事情的幕后黑手，从查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）被暗杀，到埃及在世界杯 16 强赛中出局，再到格雷厄姆·普拉特纳（Graham Platner）在缅因州的竞选崩溃。这一切都 100% 缺乏证据——因为对于这些处于热病之梦中的人们来说，结论本身就是任何人所需的全部证据，即使（尤其是）在显而易见的事实表明那是胡言乱语的时候。指责犹太人是低智反社会者的最爱消遣；可惜的是，这些疯子正在接管民主党。
卡塞姆曾对基地组织骨干艾哈迈德·阿尔-达尔比（Ahmed al-Darbi）进行了顽强的辩护，后者在 2002 年炸毁了也门海岸外的一艘法国油轮，并且还为其他十几个关塔那摩被拘留者提供了法律服务。曼达尼在任命一名专门为杀警凶手辩护的律师进入司法咨询委员会时也没有任何问题：索菲亚·艾利贾（Soffiyah Elijah）在法庭上代表了臭名昭著的 Brinks 抢劫杀人犯玛丽琳·巴克（Marilyn Buck）和孙迪亚塔·阿科利（Sundiata Acoli），并激情地撰文为穆米亚·阿布-贾迈勒（Mumia Abu-Jamal）、穆图卢·沙库尔（Mutulu Shakur）和其他杀警凶手辩护。
市长显然对他法律任命有一套试金石：不欢迎犹太律师，但为最暴力的激进分子辩护的人员则大门敞开。
你能想象如果奥斯汀·弗兰科 (Austin Franco) 因为种族原因拒绝了一家以黑人或穆斯林为主的律师事务所的邀请，人们会作何反应吗？如果那名学生没有被康奈尔大学开除，很可能会引发抗议（见 8 月 2 日的“充满仇恨的‘偏见’”）。但对于这名学生对犹太人的偏见，人们的反应却是相对沉默。这就是反犹太主义者感到受到鼓励去持有并推广其信念的原因之一。
弗兰科不必担心。我敢肯定他会获得一家知名律师事务所的职位，并很快被晋升为合伙人。然后，他将被任命为马姆达尼市长的司法顾问小组员。
查克·列夫纳 (Chuck Levner) 伍德梅尔 (Woodmere)
奥斯汀·弗兰科 (Austin Franco)
弗兰科真是个自我中心、19 岁的白痴。康奈尔大学说他拥有言论自由权，并欢迎他回去。在这种情况下，我不明白为什么人们因为说了 N-word 而被解雇。尽管那很令人厌恶，但难道不被认为也是言论自由吗？

弗兰科需要远离搭载某些处理器的电脑，
米兰达·德温（Miranda Devine）说得非常精准（“那个引起分歧的佐伊并非天使”，8月 3 日）。我们要感谢安杰尔·莎拉·安珀塞德（Angel Sarah Ampersad）的家人，他们拒绝让那个仇视美国、仇视犹太人的家伙在女儿的葬礼上发言。同时，也要向那些请愿将他排除在 9 / 11 周年纪念活动之外的组织者致敬。
我们那位小丑共产主义市长导演了太多廉价的公关噱头。在私人或公开的悲伤场合，没有理由让他展示其谄媚且虚伪的一面。他的出现只会亵渎这些场合。 比尔·马萨诺 (Bill Marsano) 曼哈顿

纽约人，请捂好你们的钱包，并为即将到来的财务混乱做好心理准备。市长 Mamdani 在美国民主社会主义者 (DSA) 的走狗们正准备在 1 月份进入奥尔巴尼就职时，使州议会激进化。
一个预示着他们即将发疯的信号在周五出现，当时获得 Mamdani 支持的议员候选人 Brian Romero 建立了一个 GoFundMe 页面，提出了一个不同寻常的请求。他乞求捐款以支付今年剩余时间里的房租和杂货费用，直到他宣誓就职，代表东埃尔姆赫斯特、杰克逊高地、阿斯托里亚以及皇后区其他地区。
Romero 在 6 月的民主党初选中获胜——在没有共和党对手的情况下，他稳操胜券。但他直到 1 月才能开始领取 $142,000 的年薪和每天 $203 的津贴，他表示在此期间他不知道该如何维持生计。“乞丐男孩” Brian 将此称为一个“挑战时期”。
“我正试图寻找一些临时工作，但我不知道其他人是怎么做的，”他说。“其他人”，指的是我们这些……出去找份工作来支付账单的人。在《纽约邮报》开始询问后，他关闭了该页面。
Romero 在辞职参选之前，作为一名立法工作人员赚了 $106,469，他说他已经花光了积蓄。然而，他竟然是选民们 entrusted 托付数十亿美元州政府开支的人？
他的政治纲领包括一份脱离实际的政府赠款清单——全民托儿服务、为移民提供免费法律服务等——所有这些都通过让富人“支付公平份额”来买单。
DSA 的议程是吃白食者的议程，而 Romero 就是其活生生的代言人。
他是 8 名在 6 月党内初选中击败温和派民主党人而获胜的纽约市 DSA 成员之一。正如圣文森特山大学教授 JC Polanco 告诉《纽约邮报》的那样，仅 17% 的低投票率助长了他们的“敌意收购”。
像获得 Mamdani 支持的州参议员候选人、自称社会主义者的 Aber Kawas 这样的 DSA 获胜者，承诺将带来“变革性改变”。相信她的话吧——以及 NYC-DSA 的共同主席 Gustavo Gordillo，他上周谴责整个“民主党建制派”将我们“出卖给亿万富翁、地主和战争贩子”。
尽管 DSA 团体的人数不多——总共 16 人，州参议院 4 人，议会 12 人——但他们的影响力将是巨大的。历史表明，他们以纪律严明的集团方式投票，并且可以通过成千上万名挨家挨户敲门志愿者的隐形威胁，恐吓现任民主党人参与初选竞选。
加税是他们的首要议程。“在上个会期，当我们州议会中只有 9 名社会主义者时，我们就向 霍克尔州长发起了向富人征税的斗争，”Gordillo 说。“在这个周期……有一整批新的进步立法者，他们将要求纽约人...
想要，那就是霍克尔州长向富人征税。” DSA 的议程——高税收、不断扩张的赠款、乌托邦式的会计核算——将使纽约破产。过高的税收已经促使该州陷入经济衰退：根据税务基金会（Tax Foundation）的商业气候指数和其他衡量标准，曾经伟大的帝国州目前在 50 个州的经济前景中排名垫底。公民预算委员会在 6 月警告称，由于过度支出，该州的财政状况已经岌岌可危。
但所谓的党内领导者，参议员查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）和基尔斯滕·吉利布兰德（Kirsten Gillibrand）在哪里？他们在畏缩且沉默不语。
那么共和党又在哪里？罗梅罗（Romero）正轻快地走向奥尔巴尼，因为共和党根本没有费心招募候选人来竞争这个席位，导致他在 11 月的大选中无需面对任何对手。
在今年补选的 150 个议会席位中，有 44 个席位的情况同样令人羞愧。对于这些选区的共和党选民来说，这简直太令人沮丧了。罗梅罗令人尴尬的个人选择——依靠乞讨而非通过劳动谋生——是对未来威胁的警告。任何有权反对这些 DSA 激进分子的选民必须这么做。
由于霍克尔州长在抵制马姆达尼（Mamdani）的激进主义方面没有表现出任何骨气，共和党的布鲁斯·布莱克曼（Bruce Blakeman）值得选民的全力支持。投票给霍克尔就是投票给 DSA——以及财务毁灭。
当钱花光时，纽约州无法开设 GoFundMe 众筹页面。负担将落在你们身上。
从荒唐的骗子 到剑桥教授
如果《洋葱新闻》（The Onion）或《巴比伦蜜蜂》（Babylon Bee）想要嘲讽 DEI——即“多样性、公平和包容”这种觉醒意识形态的荒谬之处——他们也无法创造出一个像杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）这样不可思议的人物。但阿尔代是真实存在的：他出生于 1985 年，在 2023 年成为了剑桥大学历史上最年轻的黑人教授。
自然地，为了达成此目标，他必须克服巨大的逆境。真的非常巨大的逆境——因为根据他获得的高度赞誉的媒体简介，阿尔代作为一名加纳移民在伦敦的儿子，不仅是黑人，而且患有自闭症，直到 11 岁时仍无法语言交流。而且他患有癫痫，但这并没有阻止他像英国《独立报》报道的那样，“在短短 35 天内跑了 30 场马拉松”。
事实上，他是个体育英雄：巴斯大学在 2021 年发布的一篇博客中提到，阿尔代声称自己小时候足球和斯诺克（室内台球）都达到了专业水平。不过在上周，该大学修改了记录，称他仅在“半专业”水平上踢过足球，而斯诺克方面虽然“非常出色”，但“不足以达到专业水平”。
没关系：他有太多其他的名声，修正这样一个微小的失误几乎没什么影响。毕竟，阿尔代还是英国历史上最著名的纪录片——迈克尔·阿普特（Michael Apted）的《7岁起》（Seven Up）系列中的一名主角。该系列从 1964 年开始，每隔七年追踪同一批受访者，从童年一直跟踪到老年。
也就是说，该系列在阿尔代出生前 21 年就开始了。不，该系列并没有随着时间推移增加新参与者——它的核心目的就是追踪参加第一集的同一批人。
真的，感谢 DEI，一切皆有可能。阿尔代现在说，当
他是 DEI 要求其倡导者必须通过的“暂停质疑”心理的典型代表。’
他在 2022 年做出了这一主张（“我参加了一个名为‘Seven Up’的计划……基本上就是他们在你的一生中对你进行跟踪调查”），但他当时谈论的是一个完全不同的“Seven Up”纪录片。 正如 Arday 那近乎超人的传记中许多其他内容一样，除了教授本人的说法外，对此的证据极其匮乏。 Arday 的故事中还有很多其他内容——他在攻读博士学位期间克服的脑瘤，他在跑步机上六天跑的 600 英里，以及他为慈善事业筹集的数百万英镑…… 如果不是因为平权行动的精神，像 Arday 这样“奇迹般”的个体可能根本无法被录取为剑桥大学的学生，更不用说成为“教育社会学教授”了。然而，他现在面临着剽窃指控，因为他的博士论文中有 100 个以上的段落似乎是抄袭自另一位学者的作品。 他坚称自己是种族主义和 DEI 不充分的受害者——正如 BBC 所指出的：“Arday 并没有否认剽窃指控，但他在辩护中认为，考虑到他的自闭症和学习障碍，他在攻读博士期间没有得到足够的指导。”
丹尼尔·麦卡锡 (DANIEL MCCARTHY)
即便左翼的《卫报》也发现 Arday 的诚实度稍欠。他声称，一项旨在让他被剑桥大学解雇的活动中，有人用刀威胁他（学校的监控系统显示没有男人，也没有刀），并且有人匿名向他的父母发送了一颗切断的猪头（伦敦的屠夫和警察都没有记录支持 Arday 的说法）。 当该报在尝试对其故事进行事实核查后询问 Arday 时，他说：“说实话，我以为你们会直接相信我的。”问题在于，媒体和学术界有太多的人一直以来都相信 Arday。他是 DEI 要求大西洋两岸的倡导者必须通过的“暂停质疑”心理的典型代表。 如果这仅仅涉及一名教育社会学教授，即便是在剑桥这样名 prestigious 的大学，这件事也显得滑稽。但当 DEI 的疯狂从社会学或教育系蔓延到学术界的每一个角落，包括法学院和医学院——并从此进入法律系统和医院时，这就不是开玩笑过来了。 如果不加制约，DEI 的影响将没有上限：它认为没有什么事情是如此荒谬到会被嘲笑而不再被考虑。如果 Jason Arday 决定称自己是一名飞机飞行员，谁能阻止他进入驾驶舱？ 当 DEI 为所有符合特定种族特征的人降低标准时，诚实且有能力的少数族裔学者反而会陷入怀疑之中。然而，通过煽动这种怀疑，DEI 为自身创造了市场，因为其推销者声称只有平权行动才能消除公众的疑虑。 至少在一点上，Arday 值得他的名声：他的天方夜谭揭露了关于 DEI 的惊人真相。

“我听过有些失误被称为‘专家级错误’，”一名俱乐部牌手对我说。“我原以为专家是不犯错的；正因如此他们才是专家。” “每个人都会犯错，”我说。“专家犯的技术性错误较少，但任何人都有盲点。” 在今天的牌局中，西家在黑桃花色中加倍后，在四心合约中攻出K。 南家，据说是一位专家，出了明手的A —— 结果东家吃掉并攻出方块。南家拿走A，拔掉将牌，然后打出一张黑桃，但西家出小牌。明手的9赢了，但南家最终丢掉了一张黑桃、一次吃牌、一张方块和一张梅花。 南家在第一轮就失去了专注；明手必须出小黑桃。接着西家出小黑桃：9，东家吃掉。南家可以赢得回攻的方块，拔掉将牌，打黑桃到明手的J，然后拿走A，从而赢得 10 墩。 南家如果将北家的 1NT 提升至 3NT 会更好。南家自己的手中能算出 8 墩，北家肯定能提供另外一墩。 也许南家其实并不是专家。

摩根大通 (JPMorgan Chase) 表示，到 2035 年将投资高达 7500 亿美元 十亿，以帮助数百万美国人买房，因为许多人报告称，这一经济里程碑正变得愈发遥不可及。
这家全美最大的银行表示，作为今年早些时候公布的、旨在支持小企业和其他经济支柱的“美国梦计划”的一部分，该融资将建设或保留 100 万套经济适用房，并帮助 50 万名客户购房。
“一个可负担且有韧性的住房市场对于驱动经济增长和增加机会至关重要，”摩根大通商业地产主管 Michelle Herrick 在周一的一份声明中说道。
该银行表示，计划通过将抵押贷款发放量增加 40% 以上，并雇用 850 名新的住房贷款顾问，来帮助这 500,000 名客户（包括 200,000 名首次购房者）购买房屋。
该行表示，它专门为旧金山地区定价在中等收入家庭承受范围内的住房项目拨付了资金，其中包括为一座水岸边的 342 单元建筑提供近 $2 亿美元的融资。
领导该行二十年的首席执行官杰米·戴蒙 (Jamie Dimon) 长期以来一直对经济前景发出警报——特别是像纽约市和旧金山等城市的住房负担能力问题。
根据美国房地产经纪人协会的数据，6 月份现有房屋的中位价格达到了惊人的 $440,660，而去年首次购房者的中位年龄跃升至 40 岁——为记录以来最高。
“拥有住房一直是美国梦的核心。拥有一套房子可以改变生活——提供稳定性，帮助家庭积累财富，并创造社区感，”大通住房贷款 (Chase Home Lending) 首席执行官 Sean Grzebin 在一份声明中说道。

制造业上升
制造业活动在 7 月达到了四年来的高点，大规模的 AI 基础设施投资是增长的主要驱动力，尽管行业领导者们对价格波动敲响了警钟。周一发布的一项调查显示。
该调查指出，供应管理协会（ISM） 7 月的制造业指数跃升至 55.6，这是自 2022 年 5 月以来最快的扩张速度，并标志着连续第七个月的增长。在 ISM 的月度调查中，任何高于 50 的读数都表示增长，而低于 50 的数值则信号收缩。
ISM 制造业商业调查委员会主席苏珊·斯潘斯（Susan Spence）表示，围绕特朗普总统关税政策的确定性增加，以及希望达成一项永久协议以结束伊朗战争，有助于推动制造业的提升。
“我的直觉是，这不仅仅是一个或两个月的趋势，”斯潘斯告诉记者，“公司们看到这些强劲的需求因素在未来六个月或更长时间内将朝着正确的方向发展。”
该调查 7 月的生产指数跃升至 58.5，为 2021 年底以来的最高水平；就业指标达到 52.8，是近三年来首次上涨；而信号代表需求的订单增长也随之增加。
专家认为，大规模的企业 AI 基础设施投资以及加大美国制造业规模的政治压力，共同推动了这次扩张。
尽管制造业有所增长，但个人对该调查的反应却极其负面，许多行业领导者指出了伊朗战争带来的价格冲击，以及美联储下个月可能会为了应对通胀担忧而提高利率的可能性。
“在负面评论中，57% 提到了价格波动，43% 提到了伊朗战争，22% 提到了交付时间延长，18% 提到了关税，”斯潘斯说。
在调查回复中，一位金属生产商评论道：“这让我渴望新冠疫情期间的混乱，因为那比我们现在所处的任何状态都更容易应对。”
一些运输设备制造商对“因红海、霍尔木兹海峡和苏伊士运河冲突而导致货运路线变更”所增加的成本和运输时间表示感叹。
其他人指出，由于 AI 竞赛导致某些电子元件的需求激增，“给我们的供应链准时交付带来了挑战”。

寻求特朗普协助以避免被赶下台
作者：詹姆斯·弗拉尼 (James Franey)
《纽约邮报》获悉，国际足联 (FIFA) 主席吉安尼·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino) 希望特朗普政府帮助他留任，并在因其计划将世界杯出售给乔什·库什纳 (Josh Kushner) 的私募股权公司而面临日益增长的辞职压力下，于周一寻求与国务卿马可·鲁比奥 (Marco Rubio) 进行私人会谈。
“他想与国务卿建立联系，讨论足球如何成为美国软实力的一种形式，”一名了解此事的消息人士说。“但我们都知道，这关乎保住职位。此时此刻，除此之外没有其他目的。”
第二名消息人士表示，这位瑞士-意大利籍的体育行政官在铺天盖地的负面媒体报道中感到“孤立”。
“他正在寻找有影响力的盟友在公开场合支持他，”此人说道。
泰森食品 (Tyson Foods) 下调了全年的利润预期，原因是牛类价格飙升，这持续影响着这家肉类包装公司的底线。 多年来，美国牛类短缺导致像泰森和 JBS 这样的肉类包装商成本上升，从而导致严重的财务损失。 泰森表示，与其去年同期相比，其最新季度的牛类成本增加了 $575 million。
牲畜成本的提高将零售牛肉价格推至创纪录水平，在消费者本已承受压力的情况下抑制了需求。 泰森——该公司处理了美国销售的鸡肉、牛肉和猪肉中大约每 5 磅中的 1 磅——表示，其季度销售额与去年同期持平，约为 138.7 亿美元 billion，低于分析师预期。利润几乎翻了三倍，达到 $182 million。 道琼斯

两名知情人士表示，因凡蒂诺 (Infantino) 希望在周一上午与美国最高外交官通电话。 国务院否认此次会议正在进行，且并未在周一发生。 “没有计划让 @SecRubio 与因凡蒂诺交谈，今早也没有电话，”一名发言人在 X 上写道。 国际足联的一位资深消息人士坚持认为，电话原本已经排好，但在《纽约邮报》独家报道引发的“不必要的关注”后被取消了。 一名部门官员也对此予以否认。 国际足联未回应置评请求。 消息人士称，56, 岁的因凡蒂诺在周五其将赛事商业资产出售给私人投资者的计划破产后，多次尝试通过电话联系特朗普但均未成功。 《纽约邮报》率先报道了因凡蒂诺试图剥离广播、赞助、许可和票务权利的尝试已失败，因为全球足球协会几乎一致表示强烈反对。 这也引发了针对他在总部位于苏黎世的非营利组织领导地位的公开反抗，一名国际足联高管告诉《纽约邮报》，官员们希望在一项被昵称为“杀死怪兽计划”(Project Kill The Monster) 的行动中将因凡蒂诺赶出最高职位。 库什纳 (Kushner) 的 Thrive Capital 原本将以略高于 40 亿美元 billion 的价格获得该风险投资 20% 的股份。 jfraney@nypost.com

美国联邦航空管理局 (FAA) 周一给予波音 737 MAX 7, 期待已久的批准，这对这家飞机制造商来说是一个里程碑，它等待销售这款最畅销机型的最小版本 7 已经数年之久。 自 2018 年和 2019, 年发生两起致命的 MAX 8 坠机事故以来，波音面临着更严格的认证流程；同时在 2024 年 1 月一架几乎全新的阿拉斯加航空 MAX 9. 发生中空机舱面板脱落事故后，公司的生产和质量体系也受到了审查。波音股价上涨了 8%。 MAX 7 提供 135 到 160 个座位，比其他 MAX 机型多出约 10% 的航程潜力。 在经过近十年的审查后，FAA 要求波音包含对飞行控制软件、飞行员警报系统以及重新设计的发动机防冰系统的更新。 路透社
赔偿金
专家周一告诉《纽约邮报》，此次令人作呕的环孢子虫病爆发的受害者，有望在未来几个月内为其遭受的痛苦获得数万美元的赔偿——与此同时，首批与此次爆发相关的死亡病例已获报道。
代表数百名在食用 Taco Bell 供应的 Taylor Farms 污染生菜后患病的律师表示，根据病情的严重程度，受害者可获得从 $20,000 到高达 $1 million 的赔偿。他们表示，死亡病例可能会获得七位数的和解金。
“这些人并非自愿旷工、缺席家庭活动或承担医疗账单，”食品安全律师 Ryan Osterholm 说道，他的 OFT Law 律师事务所代表约 400 名确认的受害者。
据这位法律专家透露，他的客户中有一位 70 多岁的男性，目前正经历肾衰竭并接受透析。
“我们担心他可能会死亡，”Osterholm 说道。

埃隆·马斯克的 SpaceX 将在周二公布上市后的首份财报，这将初步测试该公司是否能克服华尔街对其在 AI 领域巨额支出的担忧。
自 6 月首次公开亮相以来，SpaceX 的市值已损失超过 5000 亿美元 billion。该公司将在收盘后与芯片制造商 AMD 一同公布第二季度业绩。由于投资者担心昂贵的 AI 投资（例如马斯克在太空建立 AI 数据中心的计划）能否获得回报，科技股一直承压。
“SpaceX 是 AI 交易的间接参与者，因为其卫星网络、发射基础设施和未来的数据雄心需要巨大的计算投资，”SmartTech Research 的首席执行官兼首席分析师 Mark Vena 告诉《纽约邮报》。“但这份报告将测试投资者是否仍然愿意在看到利润之前就为远见买单。”
这家总部位于德克萨斯州的公司周一收盘价为每股 $114.53 —— 远低于其 $135 的 IPO 价格。即将公布的收益结果仅仅是该股票的一个担忧，而当周四第 1 个禁止早期投资者出售股票的“禁售期”届满时，股价可能会出现进一步的波动。
根据在线经纪商 Firstrade 的交易行为专家 Stephen Callahan 称，马斯克的 Starlink 卫星网络在去年的 SpaceX 总收入中约占 60% —— 华尔街将密切关注其利润是否正朝着正确的方向发展。
华尔街预计 Starlink 部门第二季度的营收为 38.2 亿美元 billion，营业利润为 14.2 亿美元 billion。
分析师预计，仅在第二季度，SpaceX 的支出就将超过令人瞠目的 140 亿美元 billion。
一些专家在关注此类长期计划时，对 SpaceX 持更为乐观的态度。Bernstein 的分析师在周二公布财报前，将 SpaceX 的目标价设定为 $239。
“我们认为季度结果并不重要，”分析师在给客户的信函中写道。“重要的是管理层对公司增长路径所展现的信心水平。”
至于 AMD，华尔街将密切关注 AI 支出是否出现放缓的迹象，以及这家芯片制造商在与市场领导者英伟达（Nvidia）的竞争中表现如何。
AI 计划 新规会议
作者：Marc VarTaBedian 和 ThoMas BarraBi
消息人士告诉《纽约邮报》，由于 AI 仍是华盛顿激烈辩论的中心，白宫周二将邀请 Anthropic、Google 和 OpenAI 的代表参加一次关于新监管条例的会议。
两名消息人士周一表示，他们将讨论一个即将出台的框架，规定 AI 制造商在向公众或商业合作伙伴发布模型之前，如何自愿将其提交给政府。此次会议最早由 The Information 报道。
这次会议将由行政分支机构国家网络主任办公室主办，此前 6 月的一项行政命令设定了 8 月 1 日完成该框架的截止日期。据 The Information 报道，该政策已敲定，会议旨在讨论推广的下一步计划。
该媒体报道称，预计参会人员将是这些 AI 巨头的工作人员，而非知名高管，并补充说目前尚不清楚白宫在发布最终政策前是否会征求公众反馈。
一名白宫官员未向 The Information 明确该框架是否
二十五个由民主党领导的州在周一起诉特朗普政府，认为针对 60 个贸易伙伴商品的最新一轮关税与总统早前的关税一样，超出了其征收进口税的法律权限。 白宫未对此发表评论，但此前指称相关伙伴在阻止出口由强迫劳动生产的商品方面做得不够。 路透社
实际上已经生效。 Anthropic 开发的 Mythos —— 一个因潜在网络安全漏洞而未向公众发布的 AI 模型 —— 最初触发了该行政命令。
白宫寻求一项自愿协议，让 AI 公司与政府合作，监测其最新模型中的风险，这是旨在将联邦对该技术的监管维持在轻触水平之更广泛努力的一部分。该行政命令指示几个机构在 60 天内制定该框架，包括定义哪些模型将在其范围之内。 在该命令发布后的几天里，特朗普政府对领先的 AI 公司采取了更为直接的干预方式，引发了部分行业高管和政策专家的批评。 在白宫对 Fable（Anthropic 的 Mythos 模型的公开版本）实施出口管制，并指示 OpenAI 分阶段推出其最新模型 GPT-5.6 之后，这种批评进一步加剧。 该框架旨在为 AI 公司在发布新模型之前如何以及在何种程度上与政府协调制定更清晰的计划。

美联社
红袜队在周一从金莺队交易得到了全明星捕手阿德利·鲁特什曼（Adley Rutschman），交易方案包括三名顶尖新秀。28 岁的鲁特什曼本赛季击球率为 .251，有 8 次本垒打和 47 次打点。他第三次入选全明星赛，但目前因左腕炎症处于伤病名单中。今年他还经历了脚踝受伤和脑震荡。该交易在周一交易截止日期前约一小时宣布。巴尔的摩还向红袜队送去了捕手杰克·罗杰斯（Jake Rogers）。作为回报，金莺队得到了小联盟右投手安东尼·艾扬森（Anthony Eyanson）和凯森·威瑟斯庞（Kyson Witherspoon）、小联盟外野手恩迪·阿佐卡（Enddy Azocar）、捕手卡洛斯·纳瓦埃兹（Carlos Narváez）以及一名稍后公布的球员。艾扬森、威瑟斯庞和阿佐卡被 MLB Pipeline 评为波士顿的前 5 名新秀，其中艾扬森在全美国职业棒球大联盟中排在前 50 名。在另一项涉及前前 5 顺位选秀球员的交易中，波士顿将游击手马塞洛·梅耶（Marcelo Mayer）——2021 年总第 4 顺位选秀——交易至旧金山，以换取左投手后援埃里克·米勒（Erik Miller）。红袜队还将右投手泰勒·乌伯斯汀（Tyler Uberstine）交易至亚特兰大，以换取外野手埃利·怀特（Eli White）。
教子队：圣迭戈从巨人队得到了左投手罗比·雷（Robbie Ray），从老虎队得到了右投手凯西·迈兹（Casey Mize），在截止日交易中放弃了三名最高评级的新秀，以换取两名经验丰富的先发投手。圣迭戈用右投手米格尔·门德斯（Miguel Mendez）和 17 岁的游击手乔尼尔·埃尔南德斯（Joniel Hernandez）换来了 34 岁的雷，后者曾获赛扬奖，将在今年冬天成为不受限的自由球员。教子队还从底特律得到了内野手盖奇·沃克曼（Gage Workman），同时放弃了左投手卡什·梅菲尔德（Kash Mayfield）和杰克逊·沃尔夫（Jackson Wolf）。
守护者队：克利夫兰进行了三项交易以增强其阵容，且令人惊讶的是，在寻求连续第三次获得美联中区冠军之际，还增强了其轮换阵容。克利夫兰用四名球员从国民队交易到了全明星投手福斯特·格里芬（Foster Griffin），加强了棒球界顶尖的轮换阵容之一。守护者队还采取行动，从天使队得到了外野手乔·阿德尔（Jo Adell），从红人队得到了一垒手纳撒尼尔·洛（Nathaniel Lowe）。国民队在交易中得到了左投手威尔·迪翁（Will Dion）和乔什·哈特尔（Josh Hartle）、外野手尼克·米切尔（Nick Mitchell）以及右投手肯德格利斯·维尔古斯（Kendeglys Virguez）。
费城人队：费城从旧金山得到了三届打击冠军路易斯·阿拉耶兹（Luis Arraez）。
太空人队：休斯顿从多伦多引入了资深外野手道尔顿·瓦肖（Daulton Varsho），以换取右投手斯宾塞·阿里盖蒂（Spencer Arrighetti）。
响尾蛇队：亚利桑那通过用新秀从圣路易斯交易得到拉斯·努特巴（Lars Nootbaar），获得了一名左打球员。
蓝鸟队：多伦多通过用三名新秀从天使队交易到右投手何塞·索里亚诺（José Soriano），旨在为 2027 年加强轮换阵容。

道奇队的奖赏是一位三振专家
作者：MALIK SMITH
可以肯定地说，道奇队赢得了 MLB 的交易截止日。 他们抓住了市场上最大的鱼，将 Tarik Skubal 招入麾下，这使得球队看起来更像是一支全明星阵容，而非普通球队。随着 Skubal 加入先发轮候，道奇队现在拥有三位根据 WAR 排名全棒球前 20 位的投手：山本由伸 (3.1, 第 13 位)、大谷翔平 (3.0, 第 17 位) 和 Skubal (2.9, 第 19 位)。 Skubal 将于周二晚上在芝加哥对阵 Cubs，进行他备受期待的球队首秀，而道奇队在他首次登板时被认为具有相当大的获胜优势。

“哟，Stitches，希望你一切都好，伙计。 这里有个稳妥的赌注。如果吉安卡洛·斯坦顿 能从伤病名单中回归，我敢赌 $$$ 他撑不到赛季结束。给我 3 / 1 的赔率。顺便说一下， 我一直在亲手挑选你的 MLB 投注项， 目前处于 +21 clementes 状态。” — 爱你的，里克·桑特里，佛罗里达州那不勒斯。 里克，我愿意以 2 / 1 的赔率打赌，他每击出一个本垒打就将被三振四次。来自 布鲁克林 的乔说：“他们应该把那根香蕉送到萨凡纳，换一袋奇基塔香蕉。” 收到两封关于斯坦顿的邮件的概率是多少？真是个挑剔的观众。
（比赛时间） 2026 ’26 对阵 OPP 职业生涯 最近 3 场先发 胜-负 防御率 *记录 胜-负 防御率 对阵 OPP 局数
单胜赔率起步为 -198。 斯库巴尔是本赛季棒球界最顶尖的三振投手之一，但更重要的是，他是全联盟在限制四球保送方面最出色的人。斯库巴尔擅长投出首球好球。如果他能压制住小熊队的击球手，他将迫使他们脱离舒适区并使其盲目追球。 FanDuel 体育博彩将斯库巴尔的三振道具盘口设为 7.5，且大分端有水钱。在本赛季的 16 场先发中，斯库巴尔有 8 次投出了至少 8 个三振。我赌他这次会超过 7.5 个三振，并在他的道奇队首秀中展现才华。 投注方案：塔里克·斯库巴尔 三振数超过 7.5 (-138, FanDuel)
头条新闻。“一名赤裸男子从 布鲁克林 大桥跳下并幸存。” 为什么我总觉得对此负有责任？他要么是 Stitches 的粉丝，要么是斯坦顿的粉丝，或者是大都会队的粉丝。这就把我们带到了周二的投注。大都会队在克利夫兰比赛。这个跳桥的人想在肖恩·马纳亚和大都会队身上下注 $50。 -$ 不幸的是，迈克尔·金仍然是教士队成员，在响尾蛇队以 5-1 获胜的比赛中，他被蒂姆·塔瓦击出了一个巨大的三分本垒打。目前处于 -733 rolliefingers 状态。 stitches@nypost.com

NHL：岛民队加强管理层
岛民队在完成 AHL 改革的同时，加强了其管理层。球队宣布，聘请埃文·戈尔德 (Evan Gold) 担任助理总经理以及其在汉密尔顿附属球队的总经理。 戈尔德将接替前岛民队高管卢 (Lou) 的儿子克里斯·拉莫里洛 (Chris Lamoriello) 担任 AHL 汉密尔顿队的总经理，不过拉莫里洛将继续担任马修·达什 (Mathieu Darche) 的助理总经理之一。 — 安德鲁·克雷恩 (Andrew Crane)
MLS：LAFC 共同所有者将出任专员

只要赢球就行，宝贝：LSU主教练莱恩·基芬（Lane Kiffin）在残酷地离开密西西比大学（Ole Miss）并正处于 2025-26 赛季大学足球季后赛（College Football Playoff）进程中之后，可能无法在许多人气投票中获胜，但得益于他们的转会球员阵容，他的老虎队成为了夺冠的热门选择，赔率高达 25 / 1。
作者：迈克尔·卡拉布雷塞 (MICHAEL CALABRESE)
显而易见：大学足球不是一场人气竞赛。被唾弃的教练们也曾登上这项运动的巅峰，无论丑闻和负面报道如何。这就把我们引向了大学足球中最被憎恨的人——或者至少是在密西西比州内最被憎恨的人。烧桥固然糟糕，但莱恩·基芬刚刚对密西西比大学所做的事情则更甚。作为第一位在大学足球季后赛进程中抛弃球队的教练，基芬用“凝固汽油弹”摧毁了他在该校的人际关系，证明了他同样冷酷且无情。
随着基芬从牛津市搬到巴吞鲁日，随之而来的舆论风暴使得赔率制定者和评论员很难就LSU的上限达成一致。在全国冠军期货市场中，没有哪个球队的最佳赔率与最差赔率之间的差距如此之大（15 / 1 到 25 / 1）。分析师可能会将这种差异称为“噪音”。而我将其视为机会。建议：投注LSU赢得全国冠军 (25 / 1, FanDuel)。
这位“门户之王”以绝对优势获得了顶级的转会球员阵容。据布雷特·钱恰 (Brett Ciancia) 报道，LSU在本周期吸引的蓝筹招募球员比第二名多出 29 百分比。而且，这一历史性的阵容涵盖了该运动中最重要的三个位置：四分卫、进攻截锋和边缘冲截手。他们在所有这三个位置上都确保了顶尖招募球员。萨姆·利维特 (Sam Leavitt) 在与老虎队签约之前，考虑了来自肯塔基大学、迈阿密大学（佛罗里达州）和田纳西大学的邀请。在健康的情况下，利维特完美契合基芬和查理·魏斯二世 (Charlie Weis Jr.) 的进攻体系。假设他从利斯方克手术 (Lisfranc surgery) 后 100 百分比康复，利维特拥有在剧本之外创造机会的运动能力，以及作为高端首发球员的经验，能够在一个以RPO（跑-传选择）为主的方案中持续做出正确选择。在亚利桑那州立大学，他带领太阳魔队进入了CFP，过程中依赖于卡姆·斯卡特博 (Cam Skattebo) 和乔丹·泰森 (Jordan Tyson)。本赛季，他在阅读游戏（read game）中可以依靠 2025 届顶尖跑卫（哈莱姆·巴里 Harlem Barry），并且在接球部门拥有极其丰富的资源。
基芬在转会门户中抓住了互补球员，比如灵活的 Big 12 全明星杰斯·布朗 (Jayce Brown) 和来自夏威夷的强壮球员杰克逊·哈里斯 (Jackson Harris)，仅举几例。而整个 SEC 最大的错位优势——6英尺7英寸的近端锋特雷·格林 (Trey’Dez Green)——有望在目标接球数上比上赛季的平庸总数有大幅提升。为利维特提供掩护的将是赛季前 SEC 全明星左截锋乔丹·西顿 (Jordan Seaton)、来自马里兰州的引进球员阿里乌·巴 (Aliou Bah)（ 24 场首发，未允许被擒杀）担任右卫，以及一个布满天才和前首发经验的二线阵容。这套进攻体系的所有环节都已就绪，可以迅速进入状态。在防守端，三个层级上都有能改变比赛的球员，并且有一位顶级的战术调度员在掌控全局。基芬在休赛期的招募成功也延伸到了他的教练组，而其中最重要的一点就是留住了布莱克·贝克 (Blake Baker)。他将拥有普林斯威尔·乌曼米伦 (Princewill Umanmielen) 在边缘地带制造混乱，而惠特 (Whit)
Weeks 和 Davhon Keys 正在清理线卫位置，而 DJ Pickett 和 PJ Woodland 则准备在今年秋天接管 DBU 的重任。就像进攻端一样，防守端的才华是不容否认的。从人员配置来看，该单位没有明显的弱点，但他们需要在红区（达阵百分比排名第 92）和 HAVOC（排名第 72）方面有所提升。根据 ESPN 的赛程强度指标，LSU 正面临严峻挑战，老虎队将迎来排名第 11 位的最艰难赛程。但好消息是，他们的赛程可以清晰地分为三个阶段。他们在揭幕战中主场迎战克莱姆森大学，随后在 9 月下旬与密西西比大学和德州 A&M 大学进行连续两场对决。之后，他们在连续三场比赛中可能会拥有两位数的胜算优势。11 月将连续面对阿拉巴马大学、德克萨斯大学和田纳西大学。尽管日程表上有五到六个排名对手，
但 LSU 被预计在 11 场比赛中占据优势。对于一支将获得不是 1 个而是 2 个补救机会（mulligans）的球队来说，这个价格太诱人了。在 10-2 的战绩下，配合 Kiffin 强有力的进攻在 12 月高效运转，25 / 1 的夺冠赔率将感觉像是提前送达的圣诞袜礼物。

在三个令人失望且表现不稳定的比赛月份中，自由人队提供了无数让人怀疑其季后赛前景的理由。在平静的交易截止日之后，总经理乔纳森·科尔不愿加强这支旨在立即夺冠的阵容，这种做法可能被认为是不合理的。 但作为 2024 年 WNBA 冠军——以及季前赛的夺冠热门——她们相信自己已经拥有了所需的一切。 自由人队的三位超级巨星（布里安娜·斯图尔特、萨布丽娜·约内斯库、乔克尔·琼斯）在近两周内的首场主场比赛中奠定了基调，包揽了球队前 26 分。替补席提供了急需的支持，凭借末节 15-0 的进攻高潮扭转了势头。周一晚上，自由人队在巴克莱中心以 95-83 击败风暴队，取得了自 7月 3日 以来首次达到两位数的胜分。
自由人 95 风暴 83
在之前四场比赛的总分差仅为 8 分的情况下，自由人队 (18-13) 自 5月 29日 以来首次在比赛中未曾落后，并打出了 6月 28日 以来最少的失分。 “我对所有交易情况并不太了解，但显然我们知道这里的人手已经足够了，”斯图尔特在获胜前表示。 “这件事就像是，‘好吧，就这样了。现在让我们向前看。没有别的了。继续前进吧。’ “就是这样。这就是我们的团队。” 斯图尔特以 24 分、8 个篮板、6 次助攻和 2 次盖帽领跑全队。约内斯库得到 18 分（投篮 10 投 7 中），琼斯贡献 20 分和 7 个篮板，替补席合计贡献 21 分。 自由人队 (18-13) 将在周三再次主场迎战风暴队 (6-26)。在经历了一段赛季最糟糕的 2-8 战绩后，她们在最近六场比赛中赢下了五场。 “整场比赛一直领先的感觉太棒了，”琼斯说。“能把比分拉开的感觉很好。我们之前没有这种体验。这是一个艰辛的赛季。是的，我们从那些比分胶着的比赛中成长了很多，但偶尔能打这样一场比赛还是很不错的。” 在西雅图遭遇一场 11 分失利（斯图尔特缺阵）一个多月后，自由人队并没有轻视这支联盟最差的球队，在第一节就取得了 17 分的领先优势。 “我们想一上来就给对方沉重一击，”斯图尔特说。“我们希望先发制人，并在有机会时表现得非常激进。” 但西雅图队发起了反击，新秀弗劳杰·约翰逊贡献 25 分，并利用自由人队 15 次失误地得到了 20 分。在第三节末段，自由人队再次被削减了两位数的领先优势，仅剩一个球权的差距，随后四名替补球员与斯图尔特一起接管比赛，让风暴队在 4 分钟多时间里未能得分。 韩旭得到 6 分和赛季最高的 7 个篮板，马林·福托克斯贡献了赛季最高的 5 次助攻，马林·约翰内斯命中 2 个三分球，蕾贝卡·加德纳得到 6 分和 3 个篮板。 “在第三节的那些暂停期间，感觉就像是，‘别在周围打闹了。我们还能达到另一个水平’，”斯图尔特说。 “那在很大程度上归功于替补席。他们给了我们火花，并真正带动了现场观众的支持。” 观众们听起来深信不疑——她们拥有所需的一切。 “如果我们想达到目标，需要每个人的参与，”主教练克里斯·德马尔科说。“我们热爱球队里的每一个人，并完全相信在关键时刻，我们将打出最佳水平的篮球。”
依然受困于 自由人队
交易截止日期已过。贝特妮贾·莱尼-汉密尔顿 (Betnijah Laney-Hamilton) 依然留在布鲁克林。但长期生活在如此多不确定性中所承受的情绪压力，给这位自由人队资历第二深（自 2021 年起）的球员留下了印记。“压力太大了，”莱尼-汉密尔顿在周一击败风暴队的比赛前告诉《纽约邮报》，“我现在没有足够的时间去细说，但绝对起伏很大。” 另一个夜晚坐在替补席上并没有改善这位听起来沮丧的老将的前景。莱尼-汉密尔顿曾是全明星球员，也是 2024 年冠军球队的先发成员，她因膝盖受伤缺席了整个上个赛季——目前她依然被排除在首年执教的克里斯·德马科 (Chris DeMarco) 的轮换名单之外，现已连续七场（健康）比赛没有出场。这位 32 岁的球员在 7 月 12 日多伦多失利战中因扔鞋被驱逐出场后就再未上场，她表示仍不确定自己未来的角色。近几周，德马科表示他依然对莱尼-汉密尔顿有信心，并指出她将获得更多上场机会。但周一，这位教练听起来在短期内给她的出场时间延长可能性要小得多。“将视具体比赛而定，”德马科说，“我们会观察一切情况。” 莱尼-汉密尔顿在 4 月签署了一份为期一年、价值 $400,000 的合同，赛季初担任先发，但在周一之前仅在球队 30 场比赛中出场了 17 场。她在 6 月 21 日第一次收到 DNP-CD（因教练决定而未上场），随后在击败王牌队赢得专员杯冠军的比赛中再次未上场。莱尼-汉密尔顿在八年中的出场时间达到了最低（16.8 分钟）——而在两年前，她为冠军球队效力时场均出场时间超过 30 分钟。伤后表现并未增强她获得更多机会的筹码。这位老将本赛季场均贡献 4.7 分、1.9 个篮板和 1.5 次助攻，投篮命中率为 36.2%（三分命中率为 24.3%）。但她可能仍有发挥作用的空间。“她是一位伟大的球员，在 WNBA 拥有非常成功的职业生涯，”布里安娜·斯图尔特 (Breanna Stewart) 说道，“了解她在场内外随时能给予我们的帮助是非常重要且特殊的。即使只是她在中场休息时的沟通方式，或者给球员提供方案和想法，都非常重要。对我来说，那是我想听的建议。” hkussoy@nypost.com

as Schlittler chased early
作者：BRIAN LEWIS 和 DAN MARTIN
Cam Schlittler 在客场表现几近完美，但在主场表现糟糕。这是洋基队及其王牌投手必须想办法解决并修复的趋势。
这位右投手经历了职业生涯中第二短的登板时间，在对阵红雀队的比赛中，仅用三局就丢了 4 分自责分。Schlittler 平日里精准的控制力此时离他而去，他在本赛季最高地保送了 5 次。
“我对掌控比赛和限制保送感到自豪。这次真的没有什么借口，”Schlittler 说道。“所以今晚不是我的夜晚，我必须在这一点上做得更好。”
Schlittler 保送了首名击球手 JJ Wetherholt，并被 Alec Burleson 击出了一记两分本垒打。随后是 José Fermin 的打点二垒安打和 Nathan Church 的打点单打。
“我觉得还好。[但我]没能进入状态，”Schlittler 说。“我必须做得更好。在客场的时候事情容易得多。我觉得自己在客场具有统治力，但在主场无法做到。这令人沮丧。在某个时刻，我们必须做出调整，我也必须在球迷面前拿出表现。”
这是一个向错误方向发展的奇怪趋势。虽然 Schlittler 在客场表现出色 —— 8-2，防御率 (ERA) 为 1.10 —— 但在周一之后，他在布朗克斯的 10 次先发中仅为 2-4，防御率 4.32。
“我表现糟糕的比赛总是在这里，这很令人沮丧。在我们的球迷面前比赛，事情应该更简单才对，”Schlittler 说。“对他们来说也很沮丧。他们来到这里期待优秀的表现，而我却无法兑现。我周日还有一次机会，必须做得更好。”
经理 Aaron Boone 补充道：“他就是一直没能进入良好的节奏。我觉得对他来说，很多投球缺乏竞争力，导致对方很容易击球。”
笔记
➤ 随着一名顶尖潜力球员乔治·隆巴多 (George Lombard Jr.) 即将到来，一名曾经的 1 号潜力球员正重返小联盟。在周一的失利后，贾森·多明格兹 (Jasson Domínguez) 被下放到 Triple-A 斯克兰顿 / 威尔克斯-巴雷 (Scranton / Wilkes-Barre)，以为新收购的赫利奥特·拉莫斯 (Heliot Ramos) 腾出空间。洋基队选择将斯宾塞·琼斯 (Spencer Jones) 保留在大联盟名单中。琼斯近期的打击表现优于多明格兹，且能胜任中外野手。多明格兹在击球和防守方面表现挣扎，且其防守位置仅限于角落外野。
➤ 卡洛斯·罗登 (Carlos Rodón) 和克拉克·施密特 (Clarke Schmidt) 在肘部伤势康复后，正接近重新加入投球阵容。罗登周一在球场进行了两局的实弹击球练习 (live BP)，这位左投手表示练习进展顺利。根据布恩 (Boone) 的说法，这位左投可能会在周六进行小联盟康复赛。总经理布赖恩·卡什曼 (Brian Cashman) 表示，罗登（左肘炎症）可能会在本月回归。施密特在去年接受了汤米·约翰手术 (Tommy John surgery)，计划于周二在球场进行三局实弹击球练习，随后很可能进行小联盟康复任务。由于没有足够的时间——或者没有必要——让施密特逐步恢复到成为一名全职先发投手，洋基队正专注于让他准备好承担较短的投球角色。卡什曼表示，新秀卡洛斯·拉格朗日 (Carlos Lagrange) 能及时从肩伤中恢复并在此年度贡献力量是“可能的”，但“不大可能”。
➤ 为给路易斯·加西亚 (Luis García Jr.) 腾出位置，马克斯·舒曼 (Max Schuemann) 被下放到 Triple-A 斯克兰顿 / 威尔克斯-巴雷 (Scranton / Wilkes-Barre)。

事实证明，当美国足协官员谈到让毛里西奥·波切蒂诺回归并执教另一个周期时，并非仅仅是在放烟雾弹。
美国队在世界杯上以 4-1 的尴尬比分败给比利时而止步，但这并没有改变任何人的看法。足协在周一早晨宣布，将留任波切蒂诺担任主教练直至 2030 年。
几乎没有美国足协以外的人认为毛里西奥·波切蒂诺会在世界杯后继续担任男足国家队教练，因此在面对关于他是否能完成下一个周期全部 4 年任期的质疑浪潮时，请将这一因素考虑在内。
4 年是足协周一早晨宣布的续约期限。如果波切蒂诺能坚持到期，这对于国家队来说可能将被证明是正确之举。撇开在 16 强赛中被比利时击败的惨痛经历不谈，在这位阿根廷人的领导下，球队在文化和比赛风格上都取得了进步。
波切蒂诺能够拥有比进入本次世界杯前更多的时间和更大的自主权，从而执教一个完整的四年周期，这一前景比美国足协可以采取的其他方案更具吸引力。
美国队不会缺乏比赛：接下来的国家联赛、明年夏天的金杯赛，以及很可能在 2028 年举办的主场美洲杯，随后是世界杯预选赛。波切蒂诺执政期间的标志性特点就是坚持严肃对待友谊赛，他是确保不仅是球员，而且是美国男足在今夏开始建立的球迷群体能够意识到这一切重要性的正确人选，这将从 9 月下旬的下一个国际比赛日窗口开始。
在他的带领下，美国队变成了一支具有攻击性的球队，能够主动掌控比赛，将技术能力转化为武器并控制比赛节奏。这是统治中北美及加勒比足球联盟（CONCACAF）的法门，尽管今年夏天许多球队聘请了新教练，但几乎所有这些变动都发生在美国队从世界杯被淘汰之前。
在进入美国队训练营之初，当被问及有关他与意甲巨头 AC 米兰会面的报道时，波切蒂诺采取了回避态度。但值得回顾的是他在那次圆桌会议中提到的另一件事：他坚称，如果他离开，绝对不会在与国家队的合同到期之前离开。
“我们致力于为国家队，为美国男足国家队服务，直到我们完成世界杯，”波切蒂诺说，“在这将近两年时间里，我们收到了很多（球队的）不同接洽，但我们始终表示，我们将执行完合同，在世界杯后的 7 月份离任。”
波切蒂诺是否真的有过违背承诺的可能，只有他及其代表知道。同样，如果世界杯后出现了更好的机会，他是否会拒绝回归也同样不确定。
但既然他现在留了下来，美国足协再次将赌注押在他们对局势的判断上，而非大多数局外之人的看法上。
希望这次判断是正确的。
esears@nypost.com
当然存在一个问题，即这套方案是否能对阵世界上最顶尖的球队，没有任何一位教练能让这个问题消失。波切蒂诺的背景让你觉得他有机会解决这个问题。美国足协首席执行官 J.T. Batson 在谈到波切蒂诺时暗示，他能够帮助在整个计划中树立一种身份认同，而不仅仅是成年国家队。
只有当他对自己在这个周期每一步的投入，如同他期望球员们所做的一样时，将他请回来才是正确的决定。
美国足协在评估他最初回归的机会时，比任何人都更了解情况。现在必须再次确保，从现在到 2030 之间，波切蒂诺不会再次出现在北伦敦的英超场边。
如果佐治亚州费耶特维尔的决策者们在这一信念上出错了，那么请波切蒂诺回归的决定也将是错误的。史蒂夫·切伦多洛曾任 LAFC 教练，现被聘请带领 U-23 队参加两年后的洛杉矶奥运会——这一聘用过程有波切蒂诺的参与——在这种情况下，他将是显而易见的接任人选，而将他作为安全网是有帮助的。尽管如此，考虑到足球运动中任务时间的重要性，以及国家队教练与球队相处的时间如此之少，即使是相对无缝的教练更替也是一次重大挫折。
波切蒂诺在接手美国队工作之前，职业生涯一直处于俱乐部层面，他过去曾公开表达过重返英格兰超级联赛的愿望。八支英超球队……
2030 世界杯——在两方最初似乎在世界杯不欢而散后将走向不同方向，这一决定随后获得了动力。
在两方于世界杯前进行初步交谈后，合同谈判在过去几周内有所进展。
对冲基金亿万富翁肯·格里芬再次为波切蒂诺的薪水提供资金支持，延续了他 2024 年为邀请这位前托特纳姆热刺和切尔西主帅加盟而做出的承诺。
考虑到输给比利时的惨烈方式，请 54 岁的波切蒂诺回归的决定可能会被认为具有争议。
尽管在 16 强赛之前他似乎掌控了所有正确环节，但他的球队在毫无疑问是美国男足几十年来（如果不是历史上）最大的一场比赛中，并没有展现出准备好战斗的状态。
一个完整的周期将包括可能参加的美洲杯（如果美国如预期那样主办，将在 2028 年参赛），以及在自动获得本次参赛资格后的世界杯预选赛，这将是波切蒂诺在过去 18 个月中播下文化种子并使其生长的时间。
“在过去两年与美国足协共同合作的过程中，我们清楚地意识到，要让男足国家队计划变得更强大，具有巨大的潜力，”波切蒂诺在一份声明中说道。“我们希望在这个热情欢迎我们的国家，尝试给这项运动带来持久的影响，并让这种影响延伸到赛场成绩之外。”
大多数国家队教练仅执教一个周期，而波切蒂诺曾公开谈到希望回到俱乐部层面，特别是英格兰超级联赛。
也许是看到美国民众团结在球队周围激发了他的某种情感，或者也许他觉得还有未竟之志。
世界杯后教练职位的轮换状态——两个月前空缺的最重要的职位已经填满，包括 AC 米兰，该队在 5 月下旬与波切蒂诺联系，随后聘请了鲁本·阿莫里姆——这可能也是一个因素。
在进攻线 赢得 粉丝

你可以将 Armand Membou 加入到日益扩大的 David Bailey 粉丝俱乐部中。这位年轻的进攻截锋在训练营中仅与这位喷气机队的（Jets）新秀进行了几次对抗练习，但这位边缘冲截锋已经在 Membou 心中留下了深刻的印象。
“伙计，这太痛苦了，”他在周一第一次穿戴护具的练习后开玩笑说。“他是个伟大的球员。他动作流畅，速度快，天生就有冲向四分卫的能力。与他对抗是一次很好的磨炼。” “凭借他的第一步，他能够利用边缘速度威胁到截锋，一旦他做到了这一点，他就能用力量威胁你。” Bailey 在上赛季于德州理工大学（Texas Tech）记录了 14.5 次擒抢后，成为了 4 月选秀的第二顺位。人们希望他能帮助提升球队的传球冲截能力，该能力在去年仅有 26 次擒抢，在联盟中排名第 31 位。 ➤ 教练 Aaron Glenn 表示，新秀紧端锋 Kenyon Sadiq 在 5 月接受了疝气手术，在参加了训练营前三次练习后，周一获得了一天休息时间。… Glenn 预计防守截锋 T’Vondre Sweat（腿筋受伤）、防守端锋 Joseph Ossai（未透露原因）或角卫 D’Angelo Ponds（小腿受伤）本周不会恢复练习，但他认为这三人不会缺席太久。 “我们希望对这三个人都非常谨慎，”他说。“听着，他们每个人在球队中都有自己的角色。… 我认为他们不会缺席太久，但我们想做正确的事情，确保这些人在常规赛前准备就绪。” ➤ 周一标志着喷气机队训练营第一次穿戴护具的练习。 “我认为竞争氛围达到了我们想要的程度，”Glenn 说道。“我认为我们的球员已经真正理解了我们希望如何进行练习。”
— 米切尔回归仍有可能

据消息人士透露，圣约翰大学（St. John’s）的球员名单尚未最终确定，而且这支本就强大的队伍目前正寻求引进一名能产生决定性影响的球员。
由于去年赛季的大四学生在法庭上挑战 NCAA 新颁布的“五年内五次参赛资格”规定，这为圣约翰大学签下另一名极具影响力的球员创造了潜在可能。
消息人士称，国际高中招募球员 Gildas Gimenez 最近被判定为学业不合格，从而在圣约翰大学的名单中留下了一个空位。
据消息人士透露，圣约翰大学已对得分能力强的奥本大学（Auburn）侧翼球员 Keyshawn Hall 表现出兴趣，而前“红风暴”（Red Storm）的明星前锋 Dillon Mitchell 也是另一个选项。Mitchell 在选秀中被凯尔特人队在第二轮（总第 40 顺位）选中，但尚未与波士顿队签署合同。他正在寻求一份保障合同。如果无法达成，重返校园的可能性依然存在。
身高 6 英尺 7 英寸的 Hall 在上赛季为奥本大学贡献巨大，场均得 19.3 分，7.1 个篮板，在 4.7 次三分球尝试中命中率为 37.9%。而 Mitchell 则是身高 6 英尺 8 英寸的运动能力悍将和可靠的防守者，在圣约翰大学蝉联大东区（Big East）常规赛和季后赛冠军的过程中发挥了重要作用。作为一名关键的双向贡献者，他交出了 8.3 分、7.0 个篮板、3.0 次助攻和 1.3 次抢断的成绩单。
Mitchell 曾是“红风暴”充满活力的前场组合的一员，该组合还包括大东区年度最佳球员 Zuby Ejiofor 和 Bryce Hopkins。他在“组织前锋”的角色中表现出色，作为一名组织者提升了周围队友的发挥。Mitchell 帮助圣约翰大学 27 年来首次进入甜蜜 16 强。
圣约翰大学非常看好塞内加尔前锋 Babacar Sane，但仍希望增加一名经过验证的前锋。来自雪城大学的转会球员 Donnie Freeman 在休赛期训练期间撕裂了跟腱，导致下赛季将缺阵。
6 月，NCAA 通过了一项新规则，允许在五年内获得五年的参赛资格。但该规则并未像对待大三、大二和大一学生那样，将去年的大四学生纳入追溯范围。这些球员随后针对多出的一年资格提起诉讼，且在大多数情况下获得了胜诉。周五，美国地方法院法官 Charlotte Sweeney 针对 NCAA 基于年龄的参赛资格规则颁布了全类初步禁制令。NCAA 目前正在对此决定提起上诉。
包括 Hall 在内的多名球员是在俄亥俄州和田纳西州胜诉案件中的原告，这使他们能够根据法院命令进入转会门户并获得第五年的参赛资格。

纽约邮报, 2026 年 8 月 4 日, 星期二 nypost.com
Aaron Glenn 在上赛季结束时，Armand Membou 走出离职面试的那一刻起就知道了。
就在那时，这位喷气机队（Jets）的主教练意识到，他将在 2026 年从这位 22 岁、身高 6 英尺 4 英寸、体重 332 磅的右截锋身上，挖掘出比其新秀赛季更出色的一年。
“我当时就知道，他在休赛期计划中回来时会面色凝重且准备充分，”Glenn 在训练营第一次全装备喷气机队训练后的周一说道。“从这次休赛期计划回来后，他就像带着某种使命。你可以从他的脸上看出来。从健身房到球场，一切都采取商务式的专业态度，你可以看到这种状态延续到了每一次训练中。无论是不是简单的走位演练，他现在都处于专业水准的操作状态。”
事实上，早在与格伦进行离职面试、休赛期或这次训练营之前，Membou 就已经具备了职业水准的发挥。
他在密苏里大学的进攻线教练布兰登·琼斯（Brandon Jones）在 Membou 被选入联盟后的第二天给我讲了一个故事：在赛季结束后的一个休息日，琼斯路过足球办公室，看到 Membou 独自在密苏里足球体育场外的台阶上进行跑步训练。
“休息日你在这里做什么？”琼斯问他。
“教练，我得赶紧恢复状态，”Membou 回答道。
周一被问到这种职业道德源自何处时，Membou 表达了对他在密苏里州李萨米特（Lee’s Summit）高中时期的教练贾马尔·莫齐（Jamar Mozee）的感谢，莫齐现在是内布拉斯加大学的助理主教练。
“他从小就塑造了我，在我心中灌输了这种职业道德的观念，”Membou 说。“要在那些高水平赛事中打球，要进入 NFL，你不能只做别人都在做的事情。你必须多走一步。”
周一在电话中，莫齐讲述了一个故事：在李萨米特高中二年级赛季结束时，Membou 来找他，告诉他他打算放弃足球。
“阿尔曼当时在网球队，在那些早期年份，也就是一年级和二年级时，他并不是一个出色的足球运动员，”莫齐说。“他当时还在发育。通常情况下，如果球员在二年级或三年级时 [没能进入校队]，这意味着除非发生剧烈的变化，否则他们可能很难在周五晚上（高中常规赛）登场。”
两件事发生了剧烈变化——一项归功于莫齐，他劝阻了 Membou 放弃足球；另一项归功于基因和时间，因为 Membou 逐渐长成了魁梧的身材。
“我记得他手里拿着网球拍来到重量训练室，告诉我他不再打足球了，”莫齐说。“我说，‘不，你不能放弃。’我这么说并不是因为我认为他能成为职业球员。主要是因为我想让他留在身边。他是个很棒的孩子，而且我认为这个项目对他也会有好处。”
“于是，他留了下来。当他回到三年级时，他的身体完全地、惊人地改变了。他变得更强壮，身形逐渐撑了起来。剩下的就成了历史。”
“在他四年级时观察他，一开始就很明显，”莫齐说。“他的出色程度、力量之强、平衡感之好，以及他将这一切结合在一起的方式，以及他应对高中其他孩子的方式，这都不是正常的。”
“他在身体素质上就比其他人强得多。他简直能把每个人都拆解掉。他
致力于将比赛提升到新高度
超级库珀 (SUPER COOPER)
新秀外接手奥马尔·库珀二世（Omar Cooper Jr.）完成了今日最佳接球，在边线处通过肩后接球，越过安全卫安德烈·西斯科（Andre Cisco）。在 7对7 训练中，库珀在接盖诺·史密斯（Geno Smith）的一记长传时做出了绝佳的调整，球当时落在他的身后。
手滑 (BUTTERFINGERS)
球掉在地上的次数太多了。喷气机队的接球手没有很好地应对阴雨天气。加勒特·威尔逊（Garrett Wilson）是出现接球掉球的人员之一。
吸引我的目光 (CAUGHT MY EYE)
今天是防守方强势的一天，防守方占据了上风。其中包括明卡·菲茨帕特里克（Minkah Fitzpatrick）拦截了史密斯一次过中的传球失误。这是喷气机队四分卫在训练营中的第一次被拦截。安全卫丹恩·贝尔顿（Dane Belton）表现活跃，频繁进入后场。
伤病报告 (INJURY REPORT)
防守截锋 T’Vondre Sweat（腿筋）、防守端 Joseph Ossai（未透露）和角卫 D’Angelo Ponds（小腿）仍处于周对周的观察状态。……紧端锋 Kenyon Sadiq（疝气）获得了休息一天。 —— Zach Braziller
喷气机队在去年创造了一种错误的纪录，成为第一支在整个赛季中一次截球都没有的球队。
他们打破了之前由 49ers 在 2018, 年创下的最低纪录（两次截球），后卫线希望在本赛季能够弥补这一不光彩的标志。
布兰登·斯蒂芬斯承认他经常思考这件事。
“伙计，我告诉自己，甚至在梦里都在想，”这位喷气机队的 1 号角卫在周一的训练后表示。“为了赢得比赛，这绝对是我们必须做的事情。你必须抢走球才能为自己赢得优势。这绝对是重点。怎么可能不是呢？”
在亚伦·格伦担任主教练的第一年里，整个防守端都经历了一次糟糕的一年。喷气机队允许的场均得分最高（29.6），排名第二；冲球码数最高（139.5），排名第四；总码数最高（355.6），排名第八。此外，他们仅记录了四次抢球，为全联盟最低。
斯蒂芬斯在休赛期不想过多纠结于此，但后卫线无法抢球的记忆难以抹去。
“这是一个证明我自己、证明我们作为一支球队的新赛季，所以我们必须在场上继续为此努力，”他说道。
变革已经发生。老将德马里奥·戴维斯（线卫）、纳什翁·赖特（角卫）和明卡·菲茨帕特里克（安全卫）被引进，格伦将接管战术调用职责。
“在方案上，我不确定是否要深入探讨，但我可以这么说：强悍、暴力、破坏力，我说的是对四分卫的破坏，对技巧型球员的破坏，以及对口袋区的破坏，”格伦在被问及希望在防守端看到的特点时表示。“我在寻找能够做到这些的人。所以，我想如果要把这一切总结起来，就是具有高度破坏力的球员。”
菲茨帕特里克，曾有过一次截球-
“我们的职责就是这么做，这样我们才能抢到球，”托马斯说道。“每个人都必须做好自己的工作，那么一切都会水到渠成。” 话虽如此，喷气机队知道这是必须改进的地方，并且他们相信自己已经具备了大幅增加抢截总数所需的所有条件。 “这非常重要，”托马斯说。“作为一名后卫，你抢走球，就给你的进攻方提供了更多得分的机会，从而让我们赢得比赛。” zbraziller@nypost.com

阿扎雷耶·托马斯 (Azareye’h Thomas) 已经准备好证明自己，准备好充分利用机会，准备好证明自己应当成为一名长期首发球员。 但灾难降临了。 正当托马斯因为索斯·加德纳 (Sauce Gardner) 的离队而获得竞争首发角卫位置的机会时，他在第 14 周遭受了肩膀受伤，并被列入伤员名单，导致他的新秀赛季提前结束。 对于托马斯来说，这是一个陌生的领域，因为这是他遭受的第一次严重受伤，也是他第一次接受手术。 “谁不会感到沮丧呢？”在被问到对受伤的沮丧程度时，托马斯说道。“你奋斗一生为了达到这一时刻，结果却因为受伤出局。……这感觉很不一样 [因为这是我第一次需要手术]。” “I’m a physical player. I’m not afraid to go down there and hit,” 托马斯说。“我知道我做过手术之类的一切，但这不能阻止我。实际上，我觉得我的肩膀比以往任何时候都更强壮。” 在经历了一个起伏不定的新秀赛季后，托马斯在 2026 年将与老将纳什隆·赖特 (Nahshon Wright) 展开竞争，争夺与布兰登·斯蒂芬斯 (Brandon Stephens) 相对的首发位置。 新秀球员 D’安杰洛·庞兹 (D’Angelo Ponds) 也有可能冲击首发，但他可能更适合内槽位 (slot)，因此竞争主要在托马斯和赖特之间。 考虑到赖特上赛季在熊队有 5 次拦截，这场角卫对决对托马斯来说将不是轻而易举的。但作为去年佛罗里达州立大学的第三轮选秀球员，托马斯已经准备好再次证明自己。 “我的心态是与队友们一起，一步一个脚印，一天一个脚印，”托马斯说。“继续做一个出色的队友，每天都出现在训练场，这就是我的心态。” 托马斯在 2025, 年展现了多次闪光点，在连续 6 场比赛中至少各有一次击飞传球，与达雷尔·雷维斯 (Darrelle Revis) 并列第二。
抢截的新篇章：喷气机队角卫布兰登·斯蒂芬斯说，对于球队上赛季拦截球的匮乏，他曾为此失眠，并决心在本赛季抢走球。 Bill Kostroun
在周一的训练中，他拥有 21 次职业生涯拦截记录的 10 年资历，而赖特上赛季在熊队有 5 次拦截。再加上新秀角卫 D’安杰洛·庞兹，他在印第安纳大学和詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学三年的时间里有 7 次拦截，这说明新加入的球员们都有抢球的历史。 “练习拦截和击球出界只有一种方法：就是在训练中实践，”斯蒂芬斯说。“无论是在个人训练还是球队训练阶段，始终关注球的方位，
在机会出现时抓住它。” 二年级角卫阿扎雷耶·托马斯正与赖特竞争成为斯蒂芬斯对面 2 号角卫的位置，他认为重要的是后防线不能为了追求拦截而放弃自己的原则。过度补偿可能会在其他领域制造问题。虽然喷气机队希望在这个方面有所提升，但他们不能因此让自己处于错误的位置。 “当然这是一个重要因素，但我们不会在场上不履行我们的职责，以便我们可以抢到球，”托马斯说道。
自 2000 年以来喷气机队新秀第二长的连续记录。 托马斯在新秀赛季结束时完成了 22 次擒抱和 7 次传球击落，并展现了扎实的身体对抗能力。 但情况远非完美，他在 Pro Football Focus 的评分 55.1 在 114 名合格的角卫中排名第 87 位，而他的覆盖评分 55.5 则排名第 86 位。 进入第 2 年，托马斯表示他正强调更加相信自己能做出关键发挥。 “真的只是相信我的眼睛，相信我的研究，”托马斯说。“我觉得去年我在很多事情上犹豫了很多。我觉得有很多机会被我错失了。”

西弗吉尼亚州，白硫磺泉 —— 如果他真的想为训练营造氛围，那么驻守在巨人队训练营入口的打碟师应该考虑将 2008 年的 Billboard Hot 100 热门歌曲《Check Yes, Juliet》加入播放列表。
“跑吧宝贝跑 / 永远不要回头 / 如果你给他们机会 / 他们会把我们撕裂。”
让这首歌的副歌部分提醒人们，在主教练约翰·哈博（John Harbaugh）领导下的进攻端通常由封堵者和冲球手的身体对抗能力及产出驱动。因此，周一球员们首次在雨后的球场上穿上护具时，跑球进攻成为了关注焦点。
“我们不认为这是肩上的沉重负担，而将其视为机会，”泰隆·特雷西（Tyrone Tracy Jr.）说道，他连续两个赛季的冲球距离超过 1,000 码。
“这是一个证明自己的机会，一个真正向 NFL 展示我们是谁以及能达到什么高度的机会。我认为我们可以成为一支顶尖的跑卫组合。”
在哈博估计“防守端在正面交锋中可能占据上风”的一天里，卡姆·斯卡特博（Cam Skattebo）完成了巨人队仅有的几次长距离冲球之一，尤其是新秀线卫阿维尔·里斯（Arvell Reese）在不断封堵漏洞。
对于一支习惯于在每场比赛允许冲球码数排名中处于 NFL 底部（连续四年排名第 26 或更低）的防守端来说，这是一个好迹象；但对于一个拥有四名回归的首发进攻线球员，以及一名体重 300 磅、曾入选职业碗（Pro Bowl）并由其带领五名回归跑卫的全新全卫（帕特里克·里卡德 Patrick Ricard）的进攻端来说，这并不是预想中的开局。
但至少特雷西、斯卡特博和辛格勒塔里（Singletary）这前三名球员以及里卡德，似乎都乐于身体接触，并在对手试图抢球时紧紧抱住球。
“考虑到我们今年将运行的进攻类型，这将是一个从长远来看对我们大有裨益的关键品质，”右截锋杰梅因·埃卢穆诺尔（Jermaine Eluemunor）表示。“无论在哪个层级——进攻线、跑卫还是接球手——我们都不会在身体接触面前退缩。”
“我们将成为一支让对手精疲力竭的球队，到了第四节，你可能根本不想在场上，因为我们会不停地进攻，不停地进攻，不停地进攻，承受那些身体打击。然后，当第四节到来时，给予致命一击。这就是我们想要成为的球队，也是哈博教练在传达的理念。”
哈鲍（Harbaugh）虽然没有像三届职业碗成员雷·赖斯（Ray Rice）或未来的名人堂成员德里克·亨利（Derrick Henry）那样经受过验证的强力工兵，但他的乌鸦队在冲球尝试次数上仍在 NFL 中排名 No. 1，在码数上排名 No. 2，其中由冲球手古斯·爱德华兹（Gus Edwards）搭配四分卫拉马尔·杰克逊（Lamar Jackson）领衔。 “在训练中，我们经常进行冲球，”斯卡特博（Skattebo）说。“我认为他们所说的就是他们将要做的事……我和房间里的伙计们将会度过非常出色的一年。” 2018 年的乌鸦队助理主教练格雷格·罗曼（Greg Roman）现在是巨人的冲球进攻协调员。 “真的没有模糊地带，而且冲球不仅仅有一种方式，”
特雷西（Tracy）说。“他在调用相同的冲球战术，但采用了不同的阵型、不同的移动方式和不同的拉出掩护球员。有很多不同的变化，但他让这一切变得非常简单，让我们很容易学习。” 周一的进攻端被开球前的犯规所困扰，但巨人的冲球战术安装并非在穿戴护具的第一天才开始——这与某些球队的情况不同。 这种特质在上周就已展现出来——在允许“包裹-释放”擒抱之前。 “我认为在往年，显然你不想在没有穿全套护具的情况下练习冲球，”埃卢穆诺尔（Eluemunor）说。“但今年，我认为我们确实提前开启了一些冲球游戏的练习。” “你不能等到穿上护具才真正钻研这些。你可以练习脚法、技术，确保头部位置正确。然后你只需专注于大项，比如摆脱封堵、撞击以及在接球线附近移动。所以，我认为我们投入的训练从长远来看会对我们有帮助。” 习惯于撞墙的斯卡特博开玩笑说，他正试图塑造一个“更凶悍”版本的特雷西。 “作为一名跑卫，我们希望更具身体对抗性，希望更具攻击性，”特雷西说。“这确实是我们的座右铭，也是我们进入今年赛季的支柱之一。[周一]是对我们现状的一次很好评估。[周二]我们将朝着正确方向迈进一步。” rdunleavy@nypost.com

克利夫兰 —— 纽约大都会队在本次交易截止日可能将他们最好的两项补充放在了最后。 杰弗森·罗哈斯 (Jefferson Rojas) 和萨米·斯塔富拉 (Sammy Stafura) 是值得关注的名字。这两名内野手都在周一下午 6 点截止日期前仅剩几小时的分开交易中加盟大都会队。 罗哈斯是 Cubs 的 2 号新秀，在大都会队将克莱·霍姆斯 (Clay Holmes) 和泰隆·泰勒 (Tyrone Taylor) 送往芝加哥的交易中被获得。大都会队则通过交易卢克·韦弗 (Luke Weaver) 得到了海盗队的 9 号新秀斯塔富拉。 21 岁的罗哈斯担任三垒手和游击手。本赛季在双 A 级联赛的 91 场比赛中，他的 OPS 为 .800，拥有 15 支本垒打和 17 次盗垒。根据 MLB Pipeline 的数据，他成为了大都会队的 1 号新秀。
杰弗森 罗哈斯 萨米 斯塔富拉
“一个非常全面的进攻概况，”棒球运营总裁大卫·斯特恩斯 (David Stearns) 表示。“相对于他的等级，他很年轻，并且确实做到了你希望看到的一名在国际市场上备受推崇的业余球员所能做到的事情，他一直在成长过程中表现出色并不断进步。”
21 岁的斯塔富拉来自威斯特彻斯特县的科特兰特庄园 (Cortlandt Manor)，曾在沃尔特·帕纳斯高中 (Walter Panas High School) 就读 —— 并且在成长过程中一直支持大都会队。他在 2023 年被红人队在第二轮选中，随后在去年交易截止日的交易中被送往海盗队以换取基布莱恩·海耶斯 (Ke’Bryan Hayes)。 本赛季在两个 A 级联赛层级的 60 场比赛中，斯塔富拉的 OPS 为 .960，拥有 20 支本垒打。 “关于斯塔富拉，首先映入眼帘的是他的防守，”斯特恩斯说。“他拥有惊人的防守能力。他是一名非常优秀的跑垒员，能以多种不同的方式影响比赛。” 斯特恩斯指出，斯塔富拉在过去一个月里击出了 14 支本垒打。 “我们看到了一些挥棒速度的提升，”斯特恩斯说。“显然，我们看到了一些出球速度的提升，这使他能够达成此成绩。这是一个拥有真实力量、能将球击出球场之外的球员。当你拥有这种组合——无论是二垒安打的力量、本垒打的力量，再加上一个能在游击位置上维持高水平表现的人——这样的球员并不容易找到。” 斯特恩斯被问及大都会队是否优先考虑用两名球员去换取一名顶尖新秀（正如罗哈斯的交易情况）。 “这些正是我们在过去一周中探索的交易类型，”斯特恩斯说。“很多球队对我们的许多球员感兴趣，因此当你拥有这种优势，且同一支球队对多名球员感兴趣时，你就有能力进行打包或发挥创意。我们探讨了许多此类方案，而罗哈斯的交易是最终真正促成的一笔。”
于交易截止日活动
截止日当天发生了许多事情，但没有什么能将年年出色的道奇队从我们年度赢家名单的榜首位置上击落。如果趋势不变，本赛季和世界大赛的结果可能也是如此。道奇队在选秀和培养方面做得非常出色，有人说他们在营销潜力球员方面也同样出色，这或许是他们辉煌交易记录的秘密武器。在截止日期前几天，他们通过交易获得超级先发投手 Tarik Skubal，巩固了其作为棒球界最佳组织的声誉。以下是我们的所有赢家和输家：
赢家 1. 道奇队。获得 Skubal 使他们拥有了可以说是棒球界最强的两名投手（与山本由伸并列），以及史上最强且最深厚的先发轮替阵容之一。他们还增加了长期留住 Skubal 的机会。通常情况下，一切都取决于钱，但道奇队总有办法说服棒球界最顶尖的球员以较低的薪资在那里效力。 2. 教士队。总经理 A.J. Preller 似乎总能找到办法。尽管他们的农场系统基本空虚，但他想办法签下了两名一线先发投手 Robbie Ray 和 Casey Mize；由于该队的先发 ERA 排名后五，这两名球员正是他们所急需的。他们没有获得想要的左击手，只能希望共同主演 Manny Machado 和 Fernando Tatis Jr. 能在极其缓慢的开局后继续展现进步。 3. 小熊队。他们精准地完成了需求，增加了两名优秀的先发投手（Clay Holmes, Kevin Gausman）和一个强力牛棚手臂（Ryan Zeferjahn）。此外，随 Holmes 一起加盟的 Tyrone Taylor 带来了火热的击球状态和精湛的防守，左投 Braxton Garrett 也是一名被严重低估的投手。 4. 金莺队。卖家通常不会出现在我的赢家名单中。但为了全明星接球手 Adley Rutschman 所换回的筹码实在太丰厚，以至于我无法拒绝。每个人都特别喜欢年轻的右投手 Anthony Eyanson，他是随另外四人一同加盟的。 5. 守护者队。Foster Griffin 正在确立自己作为一名可靠左投的地位，他的加盟很好地完善了优秀的轮替阵容，并让他们在弱势分区的竞争中获得机会。对于曾经是该领域顶尖潜力球员的 Jo Adell 来说，未来可能有着更好的安排。 6. 白袜队。在经历了连续 3 个 100 败赛季后，看到白袜队开始买入是很不错的事，Luis Castillo、Huascar Brazobán、Brenton Doyle 和 Joey Bart 符合他们的需求。 7. 海盗队。Luke Weaver 是被交易掉的最强救援投手，此外他们还增加了两名牛棚成员 Luke Bachar 和 Kirby Yates。尽管目前处于史上最疲软的牛棚市场之一，但这是一次极佳的需求达成。 8. 水手队。他们需要击球手，而 Taylor Ward 能够胜任。他没有表现出像去年击出 36 支本垒球那样的力量，但他已成为一台上垒机器。 9. 纽约大都会队。我喜欢他们追求质量而非数量的策略。用 Holmes 和 Taylor 换回顶尖内野潜力球员 Jefferson Rojas 是个绝妙的主意，而将 Luke Weaver 交易至海盗队以换取五工具游击手潜力球员 Sammy Stafura（他在最近 22 场比赛中击出 16 支本垒球）是一次大捷。
输家 1. 扬基队。他们需要击球手，尤其是右击手，以及接球手的帮助，并且他们想在现有坚实的基础上再增加一名牛 POLL 成员来强化，但最终未能如愿。他们确实得到了左击手 Luis García Jr.（此前在国家联盟长打率领先）和右击手 Heliot Ramos，虽然两人都能提供帮助，但都不是全职右击手。两名球员，甚至包括 García，在扬基队看来都像是轮换球员。想象一下，García 曾在棒球界击球最强的球队之一国民队担任全职球员，而现在在无法……的扬基队里却不能完全成为全职球员。
最近得分困难（自从亚伦·贾奇缺阵以来，他们的每场比赛得分下降了超过一分）。更糟糕的是，他们没有获得牛棚援军或任何类型的捕手，这意味着他们只能寄希望于奥斯汀·威尔斯及其队友（其OPS排名第29位）能有更好的表现）。2. 酿酒人。他们所做的一切都合乎逻辑，且几乎每件事都能成行。达斯汀·梅和安东尼奥·森扎特拉有所帮助，但我禁不住在想，这次是否应该是通过提供顶级新秀（他们有很多）来签下斯库巴尔，与出色的雅各布·米西奥罗夫斯基搭档的最佳时机。3. 光芒。他们是另一支运营极佳的小市场球队，且始终做出明智的举动。但与酿酒人一样，未能签下斯库巴尔令人失望。利亚姆·希克斯的击球不错，泰勒·威尔斯的臂力很好，而弗雷迪·佩拉尔塔在来到皇后区之前曾是个顶尖球员。但尽管他们在美联胜场数领先，感觉还是错失了机会。4.
勇士。除了克里斯·赛尔，第二名一线投手在哪里？他们的举动一如既往地稳健，包括为轮值阵容签下泰勒·马尔和为外野签下莱恩·托马斯，但没有能改变局面的球员。他们确实联系了前大都会队名将雅各布·德格罗姆，但他不想离开德克萨斯州。5. 费城人。尽管路易斯·阿莱兹在自由球员市场中奇怪地陷入挣扎，但他依然出色。但是，在一支防守运行价值已排名第19位的球队中，将三名球员调整到新位置是否值得？这是一个充满创意的计划，通过将布赖森·斯托特转至三垒，亚历克·博姆转至一垒，布赖斯·哈珀转至右外野，从而在二垒为阿莱兹腾出空间。布鲁克斯·雷利对一个平庸的牛棚有所帮助。6. 红袜。他们在赛场上表现极其出色，而且他们极有可能是美联最强的球队，所以我完全理解他们全力以赴的做法。但这看起来在鲁特什曼身上支付了过高的代价。jheyman@nypost.com

洋基队将在安静的交易截止日后 征召 Lombard，下调 Volpe
By GreG Joyce
By GreG Joyce
就洋基队的潜力新秀而言，在周一交易截止日通过时，George Lombard Jr. 几乎是他们最不可触碰的球员。 这是因为在周二，他将被召回布朗克斯地进行大联盟首秀。 周一晚上，一名消息人士向《邮报》确认，洋基队正在征召 Lombard，以观察这位 21 岁的球员（球队希望他能成为未来的游击手）能否在当下提供助力。 俱乐部宣布，他们将 Anthony Volpe 选项下放到 Triple-A 的 Scranton / Wilkes-Barre，为 Lombard 的到来腾出空间。此时，球队正开始在截止日后的冲刺，在美联东区冠军之争中落后于光芒队 3 ¹ / ₂ 场。 Lombard 在 7 月中旬从多次手指扭伤中康复归来，他在 Triple-A 表现强劲，在 56 场比赛中打率为 .268，OPS 为 .845 —— 其中在从伤员名单移除后的 14 场比赛中，打率为 .377，OPS 为 1.081。 在截止日期之前，洋基队被问及关于 Lombard 的问题很多，当时他们交易得到了左打强棒 Luis García Jr. 和
联盟在周一玩了一场“抢椅子”的游戏，而当游戏停止时，洋基队被排除在外。 交易截止日期已过，洋基队仍未解决他们在进攻端最大的位置需求——并且自 2019 年以来首次没有增加救援投手——这使得最终的收获不尽如人意：周日获得的一垒手 / 指定击球手 Luis García Jr. 和周一获得的外野手 Heliot Ramos。 虽然 García 可能是截止日期前被交易的最佳击球手——对于一个陷入苦战的阵容来说是一个重要的补充，尽管他并非完美的位置适配——但洋基队无法像他们在美东区两个最大的对手那样获得一名捕手，也未能升级牛棚，而是
右击外野手 Heliot Ramos 以较低价值的潜能球员换得，但他们保留了 Lombard，以便从周二开始由他们自己部署。 “我认为他度过了卓越的一年，”经理 Aaron Boone 周日表示。“我认为他变得更强了。我认为他继续展现出巨大的进步。我们热爱这个孩子及其心理素质。看到他的成长很有趣——无论你的小联盟球员还是潜能球员，你都希望看到他们发展并变得更好。就 George 的情况而言，显然是一个备受关注的例子，这种情况一直在发生。这证明了他的职业道德和天赋。” 自从 3 年前作为高中首轮秀加入洋基组织以来——这位前大联盟球员、现任老虎队板凳教练 George Lombard 的儿子，因其出色的心理素质和极高的
希望他们获得的两名击球手，加上他们寄予厚望、将在赛季晚些时候回归的伤员，足以让他们在十月有机会冲击第 28 座冠军奖杯。 “在继续前进的过程中，我们确实认为我们拥有……能够竞争冠军的球员，”Cashman 在周一晚上截止日期过后不久表示。“我们所做的努力是试图在这个市场中寻找升级的方法，我们很高兴能够引进 Ramos 和 García 来解决
棒球智商。这加上他高水平的防守和进攻潜力，使他能迅速通过小联盟，并在常规赛仅剩不到两个月的时间进入季后赛争夺战时为他提供帮助。 总经理 Brian Cashman 在 7 月初表示，Lombard 在防守端已处于“即插即用”状态，这应该为他的大联盟首秀提供一个稳固的底线。洋基队能在进攻端从他身上得到什么仍有待观察——他通常需要至少几周时间来适应新级别——尽管他在小联盟期间展现了较高的上垒能力和一些初步的力量，现在在十月到来之前将有时间进行适应。 周一截止日期过后，Cashman 表示洋基队曾考虑增加一名
一些问题。我们现在期待其他球员随着时间的推移从伤病名单 (IL) 中回归，以强化并为我们完成最后冲刺提供超级动力。” 对于洋基队来说，情况更糟——在周一 13-7 惨败给红雀队后，他们在分區争夺和美国联盟最佳战绩方面落后光芒射线队 3 ¹ / ₂ 场——而他们在美东区被夹在中间的两支球队都获得了捕手。 红袜队从金莺队得到了 Adley Rutschman，而射线队则从
游击手或内野方面的帮助，但最终未能达成交易——而在这个截止日期，没有任何大联盟游击手被交易。这在很大程度上与伦巴德（Lombard）的影响有关。
“我认为当时并没有太多能为我们带来升级的机会，”凯什曼（Cashman）表示。“我们喜欢目前的球员，也看好即将到来的球员……（交易）门槛会很高。”
在描述与老虎队就塔里克·斯库巴尔（Tarik Skubal）的谈判时（后者最终加盟道奇队），凯什曼暗示对方可能要求（且拒绝放弃）伦巴德，而这是他不愿意支付的代价。
洋基队在赛季开始时由何塞·卡巴列罗（José Caballero）出任首发游击手，而沃尔皮（Volpe）则在完成休赛期肩部手术后的康复训练。到沃尔皮准备回归时，卡巴列罗表现出色，因此洋基队将沃尔皮下放到3A，直到卡巴列罗手指出现轻微骨折。
这为沃尔皮的回归提供了机会，但无论是他还是卡巴列罗都没有牢牢掌控该位置，从而为伦巴德争取到了机会。
现在，洋基队将见证他的表现。 gjoyce@nypost.com
马林鱼队。洋基队曾尝试争取能左右开弓的鲁特什曼（Rutschman），但他目前因手腕问题处于伤病名单（IL）中。凯什曼承认，他们“无法满足对方的价格”，而红袜队最终通过一个包含五名球员的巨额交易方案将他签下。
“最终，到头来，并没有出现一个让我们觉得足够好到能够强行推进的机会，”凯什曼说。
联盟中两名顶尖的进攻型捕手，落基队的亨特·古德曼（Hunter Goodman）和双城队的瑞安·杰弗斯（Ryan Jeffers）均未被交易。
关于牛棚，凯什曼指出，实际上有影响力的救援投手并没有多少变动（例如，教团队保留了梅森·米勒（Mason Miller）和亚德里安·莫雷洪（Adrian Morejon）），而且洋基队最终可以通过内部增员获得补充，包括克拉克·施密特（Clarke Schmidt，正在完成汤米·约翰手术康复）以及威尔·沃伦（Will Warren）或瑞安·韦瑟斯（Ryan Weathers，如果到本月晚些时候卡洛斯·罗东（Carlos Rodón）回归时先发轮组保持健康）。
至于塔里克·斯库巴尔，凯什曼表示他与老虎队进行了沟通，但无法让对方放弃那个“非常具体的要求以及一名我们不愿在那个领域投入的球员”——很可能指顶尖新秀小乔治·伦巴德（George Lombard Jr.），洋基队正将其召回，使其在周二完成大联盟首秀。
当然，洋基队已经具备了强大先发轮组的基础，因此在接近截止日期时，他们深知自己在进攻端需要帮助，因为他们试图在没有亚伦·贾奇（Aaron Judge）、科迪·贝林杰（Cody Bellinger）和吉安卡洛·斯坦顿（Giancarlo Stanton）的情况下生存，这种情况可能会持续到九月。
凯什曼重申，他们期望本赛季能让贾奇在右肋骨压力性骨折后回归，但这并非板上钉钉。
没有贾奇，洋基队的阵容仅剩一副空壳。
因此，他们在周日从国民队签下了左击强棒加西亚（García），后者在国家联盟的长打率领先；并在周一从巨人队签下了右击外野手拉莫斯（Ramos），他能有效应对左投手，而作为交换，洋基队送出了投手新秀亨利·拉莱恩（Henry Lalane）和内野手凯登·肯特（Kaeden Kent）。
“最终，我们为进攻阵容增加了这两名在对阵相反手投手时拥有顶级长打能力的球员，”凯什曼说。“所以我认为，一旦这两名球员到队，亚伦·布恩（Aaron Boone）将比[周日]时有更好的排兵布阵机会。”
本应寻求帮助
布莱恩·凯什曼 (Brian Cashman) 和纽约洋基队上演的魔术，从未是让一名右打捕手或比赛后期的救援投手凭空出现。考虑到球队明显的短板以及布莱恩·凯什曼在每年这个时候解决缺陷的一般历史记录，在真正的交易截止日期前，这似乎是不可思议的。但周一晚上 6 点到来了，他们没有引进亨特·古德曼 (Hunter Goodman)、瑞安·杰弗斯 (Ryan Jeffers)、阿德利·鲁特什曼 (Adley Rutschman)、梅森·米勒 (Mason Miller)、阿德里安·莫雷洪 (Adrian Morejon) 或卢克·韦弗 (Luke Weaver)。甚至，也没有引进泰勒·史蒂芬森 (Tyler Stephenson) 和里科·加西亚 (Rico Garcia)。洋基队被设定了如此高的标准，以至于即便签下了国联长打率领先者（路易斯·加西亚-小 ），再加上赫利奥特·拉莫斯 (Heliot Ramos)，感觉就像在禁食后只吃了一颗花生。但面对如此多的机会，布莱恩·凯什曼将赌注押在了 2026 年的洋基队——即目前已经组建好的这支球队上。他在赌，尤其是亚伦·贾奇 (Aaron Judge)，以及科迪·贝林杰 (Cody Bellinger) 和
吉安卡洛·斯坦顿 (Giancarlo Stanton) 将在未来几周内回归，以复苏一支在过去六周里看起来就像阿尔瓦罗·埃斯皮诺萨 (Alvaro Espinoza) 拖进来的一样糟糕的进攻线。凯什曼可能在拿整个赛季冒险，赌卡洛斯·罗登 (Carlos Rodón) 能回到先发轮候名单，并将威尔·沃伦 (Will Warren) 或瑞安·韦瑟斯 (Ryan Weathers) 挤到牛棚，而他们最终将与克拉克·施密特 (Clarke Schmidt) 以及可能的路易斯·吉尔 (Luis Gil) 汇合。乔治·隆巴多-小 (George Lombard Jr.) 在这次截止日期前得到了凯什曼如此猛烈的保护——这种保护强度让巨人队和喷气机队在贾克森·达特 (Jaxson Dart) 和吉诺·史密斯 (Geno Smith) 面前的进攻线只能在梦中企求——他将于周二被晋升，洋基队设想他的防守和运动能力将为球队注入活力。但这取决于许多伤员能否快速痊愈——以及不再有更多人受伤。这是在相信一连串的先发投手能无缝处理向救援投手的角色转变。并且是在寄希望于一名
在 6 月 2. 刚刚被允许合法饮酒的新秀。如果贾奇健康且先发轮候达到全员状态，这支洋基队拥有足够的才华能攀升至美东之巅，并最终成为美联之最。但若想更有信心地下这个结论，需要更多的补强——而这些补强从未到来。回顾一个视角：在 2007, 年，洋基队有一个极其低效的接盘组合，试图将球交给马里亚诺·里维拉 (Mariano Rivera)。在截止日期时，洋基队和红袜队为了争取德州队的顶尖终结者埃里克·冈内 (Eric Gagné) 担任第八局投手（对波士顿而言是在乔纳森·帕佩尔邦 (Jonathan Papelbon) 之前）而展开争夺。凯什曼拒绝在交易中加入梅尔基·卡布雷拉 (Melky Cabrera) 或伊恩·肯尼迪 (Ian Kennedy)。波士顿则愿意加入一名名为恩格尔·贝尔特雷 (Engel Beltré) 的顶尖新秀以获得冈内。截止日期后不久，我对一名洋基队官员说了类似这样的话：“恭喜你们把冠军送给了红袜队。”我是对的，因为
波士顿赢得了冠军。但那是尽管有冈内才实现的，他
表现糟糕，这使得洋基队在截止日期前几乎弥补了在美联东区曾落后的 7 场比赛差距。所以请记住，截止日期的赢家感知往往与现实不符。尽管如此，你怎能没注意到洋基队需要一名捕手，而他们在美联东区前面的球队（光芒队，利亚姆·希克斯）以及快速追在后面的球队（红袜队，阿德利·鲁特施曼）都增加了捕手？洋基队和红袜队是巴尔的摩鲁特施曼的最终竞争者。波士顿愿意拿出令人瞠目结实的 prospect（潜力球员）筹码来争取这位左右开弓的捕手，他目前有手腕伤势，预计将在大约两周后回归。卡什曼在每年的这个时候一如既往地拒绝放弃他最好的潜力球员来完成交易。奥斯汀·威尔斯自全明星赛前不久起，打击表现有所提升。这令人鼓舞。如果能有一个比阿里·桑切斯更好的安全网，那就更鼓舞人心了。后援投手市场并未如预期般形成，因此在亚伦·布恩的信任圈——大卫·贝德纳、保罗·布莱克本、费南多·克鲁兹和布雷特·海德里克——被过度使用且处于持续压力之时，球队没有进行外部增员，因为当前的阵容无法创造任何容错空间。洋基队只能希望对付右打手强有力的加西亚，以及对付左打手表现出色但防守挣扎的拉莫斯，能够提供足够的支撑，帮助阵容生存并晋级，直到贾奇、贝林杰和斯坦顿回归那个不确定的日期（如果能回归的话？）。洋基队没有采取更多行动的原因之一是，过去几年的多次“孤注一掷”式交易削弱了组织深度。但卡什曼在 2018 年称洋基队为“一个完全运作的死星”。这并非事实，因为真正的“死星”看起来像现在的道奇队，他们在消费意愿、层出不穷的潜力球员以及利用这两者来确保获得他们渴望的顶尖球员的决心上，都胜过了洋基队。道奇队并不需要塔里克·斯库巴尔，但他们拥有如此多的潜力球员和资金，并且渴望成为自 1998-2000 年洋基队以来首支实现三连冠的球队，以至于他们无法抗拒。洋基队在这次截止日期未能达到及格线。在右打捕手和更多的投手深度同样至关重要的情况下，他们只得到了两个轮换级别的打手。这绝不是一个“死星”的行为。joel.sherman @nypost.com

54 观看指南 《戏剧》(The Drama) (HBO Max) 由赞达亚 (Zendaya, 左) 饰演的艾玛·哈伍德 (Emma Harwood) 主演，她与查理·汤普森 (Charlie Thompson, 罗伯特·帕丁森 饰) 订婚。两位主角以及配角马穆杜·阿希 (Mamoudou Athie) 和阿拉娜·海姆 (Alana Haim) 都带来了引人入胜且极具娱乐性的表演，会让你捧腹大笑。但《戏剧》最精彩的部分在于它提出了关于道德、判断和宽恕的有趣问题。
. . . . . . . . .
Meeska, Mooska, Megan Hilty！
这位曾获得托尼奖提名的女演员最近为最新的《米奇妙妙屋+》（Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+）特辑《米奇的乡村农场》（Mickey’s Country Farm）配音。在这部新特辑中，唐老鸭、黛西、高飞、普鲁托、米妮和米奇决定打造一个史上最公平的农场展会，希望能引起黛西心目中的牛仔偶像——由 Hilty 饰演的套索露西（Lasso Lucy）的注意。正如 Hilty 本周在访问 DECIDER 工作室时回忆道，录制这个角色比她最初想象的要“更加令人震撼”。
“我不知道自己之前期待的是什么，但当我进入录音室录制人声时，我戴上耳机，发现其他所有人的部分都已经录好了。所以，我所有的偶像，比如米奇、米妮和黛西，声音全在我的耳边，”她解释道。“我立刻就哭了，因为我一生都热爱他们，而且这部特定的剧集是我抚养孩子时看的。所以能成为其中的一部分，是一件非常特别的事情，而且对于迪士尼，特别是对于《米奇妙妙屋+》来说是非常独特的。”
在 Hilty 饰演的套索露西以一种极其时髦的方式——具体来说，是骑着她那头紫色波点公牛——抵达米奇农场，并宣布这帮人的农场展会是最公平的之后，她带领大家表演了新版本的《乡村大比拼》（Hoedown Throwdown）。这首歌和舞在 2009 年的电影《汉娜·蒙塔娜》（Hannah Montana: The Movie）中由迈莉·赛勒斯（Miley Cyrus）推广而走红。虽然 Hilty 承认在接这个活之前并不熟悉《乡村大比拼》，但她透露自己是赛勒斯的“超级”粉丝。
“所以现在我对《乡村大比拼》以及它有多出名非常、非常了解了。所以基本上，我和迈莉就像是一个样，”她开玩笑说，“既然我们唱了同一首歌？是的。”
DECIDER：作为两个孩子的母亲，你会给他们看这个特辑吗？
MEGAN HILTY：噢，孩子们将无法逃脱这个特辑。但他们不会为此跟我争论。他们热爱卡通片。而且从很小的时候起，我的意思是，他们是在《米奇妙妙屋》和所有迪士尼初级频道（Disney Jr.）的内容中长大的。我在迪士尼初级频道配过很多声音，他们从小就很清楚这一点。所以即使在他们很小的时候，他们也会试着在所有角色中认出我，而我也会和他们玩游戏，说：‘好了，这个角色听起来像谁？他们听起来像其他剧集里的任何人吗？’所以他们非常、非常清楚在所有这些动画角色背后都有真实的人类。
这太棒了。而且你的角色套索露西还唱了《乡村大比拼》。作为一名《汉娜·蒙塔娜》的粉丝，这对我来说简直是绝对的经典之作。
你刚才说了许多令人惊叹的……
观看指南 无论你在哪里观看
Jacquelyn Kozak
那句话里的东西 [笑]。 嗯哼！是的，抱歉。 没错。在拿到这个角色之前，你熟悉“Hoedown Throwdown”吗？ 好吧，我很尴尬地承认我不熟悉。但听我解释。在《汉娜·蒙塔娜》推出并成为标志性作品时，我比那个目标受众群体稍微大了一点。我当时确实有点太大了。但我是一个巨大的迈莉·赛勒斯粉丝，超级超级超级喜欢。所以现在我对“Hoedown Throwdown”以及它有多出名非常了解。所以基本上，我和迈莉现在就像是一样的了。既然我们唱了同一首歌？是的。 你的另一个标志性角色是《Smash》里的艾薇·林（Ivy Lynn）。你认为她现在怎么样了？你有没有想过她现在可能在哪里？ 我想艾薇·林想得比我应该想的要多，因为距离我饰演她已经过去很长时间了。但现在重启那部剧难道不会很有趣吗？看看她是否有了孩子，以及这对她作为一名纽约剧院演员的生活产生了怎样的影响？你知道，我认为那会非常有趣。我觉得拍一部衍生剧会很有意思…… 是的，我认为现在重启会非常有趣，因为我们已经跳过了，什么，15 年？是 15 年吗？我不知道，已经很久了。她会有一个孩子，大概和我女儿一样大。噢，那太疯狂了。是的，我确实在想这件事。 我想说，因为很显然那部剧后来被改编成了百老汇音乐剧，你认为它应该以电影形式呈现，还是另一部电视剧？ 我非常清晰地将其视为《Smash》第 2 部。同样的一群女孩，15 年后。

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are sparking speculation that they may have tied the knot, as the two were spotted sporting new rings (above). The actor, 51, and the model, 31, were snapped in pics obtained by The Post’s Page Six walking to- gether in Paris on Monday. Both wore thin match- ing bands on their left ring fingers. Both dressed casually for their walk, with Hadid rocking jeans and a white tank top, and Cooper opting for a backwards baseball hat, a T-shirt and athletic pants. Later, they were seen holding hands (left) while leaving a gym, where Hadid’s ring was still visible. Cooper was photographed two days ago going to the gym solo, sans ring. They’ve been dating since October 2023, when they were spotted stepping out for a dinner date in New York. In July 2025, a source told Page Six that Cooper was “considering marriage and kids with Gigi.” Page Six has reached out to reps for Cooper and Hadid for comment.

Shady ex-chief lifeguard’s
of benefits 62 retirees got $200K

New York Post, Tuesday, August 4, 2026 nypost.com

The “Boss of the Beach” is just a drop in the ocean. A gobsmacking 62 government retirees — including double-dip- ping former chief lifeguard Peter Stein — pulled pension pay- ments of at least $200,000 last year from the city’s retirement system, data shows. Stein’s tsunami-sized $570,000 pension payment led all others in the New York City Employees’ Retirement System during 2025, excluding back pay, the Empire Center’s SeeThroughNY.net website reports. All told, the dozens of high-fly- ing high earners, such as Stein, and scores more modest city re- tirees took in nearly $6.2 billion in taxpayer-funded payouts last year, according to the data. “These eye-popping payouts reflect a fundamentally broken system, not just individual wrongdoing,” said Abdullah Ar Rafee, a data manager at the Em- pire Center for Public Policy. “Between overtime spiking and legacy benefit rules, New York’s pension design rewards benefit padding at the explicit expense of the public.” The top pensions besides Stein’s went to a grab bag of former civil servants, including a veteran prosecutor and a long- retired doctor. They are, accord- ing to the data: Nicolas Audi, retired from the Department of Environmen- tal Protection in 2018 — with $341,487 in total pension pay- ments. The late Warren Murray Jr., retired from the Manhattan DA’s Office in 2021 — $325,015 in total pension payments. Eileen Barkow, retired from the De- partment of Infor- mation, Technology and Telecommuni- cations in 2023 — $297,130 in total pen- sion payments.
Roger Smoke, retired from the Health and Hospitals Corpo- ration in 2014 — $293,183 in total pension. Stein stood out from the other top retirement earners in several ways. For one, Stein retired last year and still topped the list. Only nine retirees who col- lected their first full-year pen- sion during 2025 received more than $200,000, according to the Empire Center. Some 490 re- ceived six-figure payouts, the data showed. He also long faced public scru- tiny for his dual career, in which he served as a full-time gym teacher and chief lifeguard, drawing the “Boss of the Beach” nickname.
The average pension by “full career” city retirees stood at $62,582 last year. But the number of six-figure pensioners has doubled from roughly 1,600 during 2020 to 3,200 last year, according to data. Stein’s pension payment was outpaced only by Lucradia Rid- dick, an Administration for Chil- dren’s Services retiree who re- ceived a $627,886 payment, data shows. Riddick’s payment, however, included roughly $404,000 in backpay. The roughly $6 billion in pen- sion payouts for city workers last year is peanuts compared to the nearly $17 billion paid out by the state’s largest retirement sys- tem.
Life’s a beach — when taxpayers pick up the tab. A controversial former Big Ap- ple chief city lifeguard nicknamed “Boss of the Beach” raked in a staggering $570,419 pension last year, according to the Empire Center for Public Policy, a non- profit government watchdog. Ex-chief lifeguard and union boss Peter Stein’s taxpayer- funded golden parachute comes after a longtime dual career where he also served full-time as a mid- dle school gym teacher in Brook- lyn — calling it quits while under investigation by the city Depart- ment of Investigation. Stein, 81, held two full-time city jobs for three decades, and he was probed by the Board of Education for the unusual but legal arrange- ment — with investigators digging in to see if he was shirking his re- sponsibilities. Nothing came of the probe. The city’s alleged David Hustle- hoff started patrolling beaches more than 60 years ago, and for more than 40 years was president of the lifeguard supervisors’ union, Local 508 of District Council 37. He was called the “boss of the beach” and accused of controlling not just his union, but the separate lifeguard union, Local 461.
Stein retired as a schoolteacher in 2004 after 32 years, pulling in $77,974 the year before he retired, records showed. He had also led the teachers union chapter at his school for many years. But Stein kept working as chief lifeguard for two more decades with his tenure marked by a series of accusations of mismanagement, including claims of failing to take action on sexual harassment claims and retaliation. Stein ended up as the center of a 2020 New York magazine profile that compared “The Boss of the Beach” to Boss Tweed and said he relied on “a playbook of patronage, power brokering, and intimidation.” The alleged beach bum’s history dated back to 1964, when he im- mediately got involved in union activities and befriended Victor Gotbaum, the powerful head of District Council 37. Gotbaum persuaded the life- guards and supervisors to join DC 37, creating two new lo- cals — Local 508 for life- guard supervisors and Local 461 for lifeguards. Stein was the man in charge of the beach and pools. But complaints over the years warranted city probes into alle-

gations of conflicts of interest and mismanagement within the Parks Department Lifeguard Division and the unions, while Stein was the center of power. In the 1990s, an investigation found “mismanagement, union in- terference, and deficient record-
keeping,” DOI said. But recommendations to bolster accountability were not imple- mented, DOI said. DOI issued a scathing report of the LifeGuard Division in 2021, which said Stein was “resistant to management changes.”

‘Shore’ loaded: Ex-chief lifeguard and union boss Peter Stein (left), nicknamed “Boss of the Beach,” pulled in a mind-boggling $570,419 in pension payments last year, according to a nonprofit government watchdog. Stein declined to comment on the report, but a woman driving a sleek Mercedes (below) outside Stein’s Long Island home (above) said, “I know why you’re here.”
Stein did not cooperate with the probe. “The structure, history, and cul- ture of the Lifeguard Division re- veals systemic dysfunction in its management and accountability,” DOI said. “One senior DPR official de-
scribed the Lifeguard Division as a ‘black box’ to DPR management. Some witnesses also described the unions and, in particular Peter Stein, the president of one of the local lifeguard unions, as resistant to management changes.” How exactly Stein got up to
$570,000 last year in retirement pay last year is unclear. His regular gross pay topped out at $121,000 in 2023 and then $120,475 in 2024. Stein was paid $74,440 in salary for 2025, when he only worked part of the year — but he took in
another $205,599 in “other pay,” ballooning his total take for the year to $280,000. His total pay was $213,473 in 2023 and $196,805 in 2024. Stein declined to comment. A woman driving a Mercedes with the vanity plate “wow e”
outside Stein’s home Sunday called a Post reporter to her win- dow and said “give it up already.” She declined to comment and also said, “I know why you’re here,” before she rolled her eyes and drove away. The Empire Center’s Abdullah Ar Rafee said the laws allow gov- ernment employees to “stack multiple pensions” or rack up late-career overtime, and workers like Stein “would be unwise not to take full advantage.” “Peter Stein’s pension is ex- traordinary, but it is not an anom- aly, as we have consistently noted such high pensions every year across New York’s various pen- sion systems,” Ar Rafee said. “It is a direct consequence of how New York’s public pension system was designed. “At the end, the ultimate burden falls on state and local taxpayers, who are left funding ballooning long-term liabilities that crowd out public services.”
Ar Rafee said Gov. Hochul and the state Legislature have taken action that’s rolled back measures put in place to control pension costs, at the behest of the power- ful public employee unions. This year, the Democrat-con- trolled state government largely undid Tier 6 reforms, which saw pension benefits slashed and contributions upped for public workers hired after 2012, with their retirement ages bumped up from 55 to 62. This year’s unwinding of Tier 6 dropped the age of retirement for teachers and other educators back down to 58 with 30 years of service. It also shrank employee contributions, putting the burden on taxpayers and local govern- ments instead. That move “will only make the problem worse for future genera- tions,” the Empire Center’s rep said. The total number of pensioners grew only 7% in the last five years — from 150,563 in 2020 to 160,982 in 2025. But total pension benefits rose by 24% to $6.18 billion from $4.99 billion. The number of six-figure pen- sioners doubled during this pe- riod to 3,219 from 1,609 in 2020. The Empire Center said it’s worth noting that pension pay- ments in New York are not sub- ject to state and local income tax. For example, a retiree with a $60,000 pension payment would save approximately $4,586 or 7.64% in state and local income taxes. Additional reporting by Brandon Cruz

Mayor Mamdani’s universal childcare plan will cost 50% more than he advertised, according to a new study. The proposed program is esti- mated to cost a whopping $9 bil- lion annually, with an average cost per child of roughly $27,000, ac- cording to the report from the Center for New York City Affairs, a nonpartisan research organiza- tion affiliated with The New School. “An estimated $8.7 to $9.3 billion would be needed annually to fund universal child care in New York City,” states the report, which was released on Monday. That’s $3 billion more than the mayor previously said his ambi- tious universal free childcare pro- gram would cost. Hizzoner promised on the cam- paign trail that his plan to make childcare free for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, regardless of family income, would cost about $6 billion per year and be paid for by taxing the state’s wealthiest earners.
The $3 billion gap identified in the study was largely tied to teacher pay, with the Center for NYC Affairs estimating some 23,000 new childcare workers will need to be hired, mainly for in- fants and children under 3 years old. The city also needs to create about 10,000 new seats for chil- dren younger than pre-K age, the researchers projected. The report noted that the city, in the 2025 fiscal year, budgeted $2.5 billion and ended up spending $3.8 billion on childcare services. “This is emblematic of the regu- lar under-estimation of service delivery costs,” the researchers wrote. “Therefore, the City will need to identify at least an addi- tional $4.9 to $5.5 billion to sustain a fully universal system.” Rolling out the program is es- sentially impossible without ma- jor support from the state and fed- eral government, the report said. City Hall has not said how it

plans on paying for the program beyond taxing the rich and asking Albany for more money. Gov. Hochul has already prom- ised Mamdani $1.2 billion to kick- start the program in certain neigh- borhoods and said she plans to continue the funding. The city currently offers free pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, with limited seats for 2-year-olds start- ing this fall. Hochul said in January the fund- ing will come from “existing” state
revenues rather than new taxes. Taxing the rich, as Mamdani and his socialist supporters have sug- gested, was off the table, she said at the time.
City Hall has yet to release its own official cost model for the program and declined to com- ment on the $9 billion figure. “Delivering on those promises will require additional public in-

demand AG probe of OMNY
A crew of subway riders who say they’ve been over- charged and issued phan- tom fines on their MTA-is- sued OMNY cards want the state’s top prosecutor to in- vestigate the alleged deba- cle, The Post has learned. The group Passengers United told The Post they are organizing rallies out- side Attorney General Leti- tia James’ office to push for a probe into the tap-and-go fare system they claim has hit hundreds of riders with overcharges and improper fees. “We want them to investi- gate [system developer] Cu- bic for defects with OMNY, including overcharges, [and that] it doesn’t show pay- ments leading to erroneous fines from fare inspectors,” group president Charlton D’Souza told The Post. Cubic did not respond to a request for comment. The group also has fired off letters to James and city and state lawmakers laying out the complaints, along with a petition demanding the MTA fix OMNY and re- store unlimited passes. Prepaid seven-day and 30- day passes were scrapped in lieu of an automatic sys- tem that caps a strap- hanger’s tab at $35 over seven days. After that, the rest of the week’s rides are supposed to be included. Some bus riders have complained of being charged for rides they didn’t board after tapping cards with insufficient funds. Fares hit a record high of $3 in January, and the MTA is considering 4% increases for both 2027 and 2029. Haley Brown and Matthew Fischetti

leap’s unlikely survival
By Chris Nesi
The miraculous survival of a disturbed man who leaped from the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday could have come down to a handful of factors — the likeliest being the precise position of his body when he landed in the East River, an expert told The Post. “Jumping or falling from ex- treme heights — such as a 270- foot bridge tower — is over- whelmingly fatal,” said Dr. David S. Shapiro, a trauma surgeon with more than 30 years of expe- rience. “It generates extreme kinetic energy that causes widespread, life-threatening trauma,” added Shapiro, who now works at New England Donor Services. Incredibly, cops said the 44- year-old jumper, identified as Galymzhan Abaildayev, is in sta- ble condition after his 278-foot leap from the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, which Shapiro said could be attributable to several varia- bles, though not many of them likely. The bag Abaildayev was carry- ing could have served as a “makeshift parachute” that re- duced his descent speed just enough to spare his life before he crashed into the water’s surface, which Shapiro said was likely at a speed between 79 and 87 mph.
Another remote possibility is that an object such as a rock could have fallen just ahead of Abaildayev, disturbing and thereby slightly softening the surface of the water, reducing the impact on his body. Shapiro points out that there’s absolutely no evidence that ei- ther of those conditions existed, noting Abaildayev’s best and most likely chance for survival was his body’s position when he entered the water.
“If you slap your hand on the water palm down, it makes a big splash . . . if you hit it vertically like a karate chop you’ll see it slice through the water. The posi- tion your body is in when it enters the water makes a big difference.” As for the types of injuries that would be typical in a patient who had endured such a fall, Shapiro said they ran the gamut. “I’d expect things like internal injuries — particularly what we call lacerations — of the spleen
and liver, as well as skeletal, joint or bone injuries. If you land on your feet, your heel bone, one of the highest-impact bones in your body, it can cause a complex ankle fracture on both sides,” he said. “ ‘Vertical injuries’ — where someone lands directly on their feet or head — can cause a variety of trauma, including burst fractures of the spine and at the base of the skull, injuring both the brain and spinal cord,” he said.
“Survival in rare instances re- quires an extraordinarily precise alignment of factors: reduced de- scent velocity, ideal body orien- tation and immediate access to trauma care to mitigate lethal in- ternal hemorrhage,” he added. Although Abaildayev was listed in stable condition, Shap- iro points out that he’s not neces- sarily out of the woods just yet. “You can also have a fall and survive and die days or weeks later from other injuries,” he said.

THE BATTLE FOR IRAN
New York Post, Tuesday, August 4, 2026 nypost.com
S
at Big Oil’s bonanza from war
President Trump bristled Mon- day at Big Oil’s huge windfall amid the war in Iran, arguing that the country’s largest oil companies should give some of their record profits to the American public. “I don’t like it,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked about the eye-popping earnings re- ported by ExxonMobil and Chev- ron last week. ExxonMobil reported making $14.5 billion in the second quarter of 2026 — double what it made over the same period of time last year — and the $12 billion Chev- ron raked in was the most the company has made in a single quarter in six years. Their soaring earnings came as the Iran war pushed oil prices at times to above $100 a barrel, and gasoline skyrocketed up to an aver- age of $4.56 per gallon this spring. “They’re making too much money, OK, based on a shortage,” Trump fumed. “I don’t like it, and I should be the last one to say it because I’m a big free enterprise guy,” he con- tinued. “Nobody bigger.” The president continued, “Chevron, too much money. Ex- xonMobil, too much money.” “When you look at one com- pany where they made 12 times what they made the year before, they ought to give some of that back to the public, and they bet- ter cut the retail price, the con- sumer price,” he argued. “I’ll say it loud and clear. I’m not happy about it,” Trump said. The president predicted that gas- oline prices would “drop through the floor” when the US is “finished with Iran.” The current price at the pump for a gallon of regular ($4.09) is nearly $1 higher than it was at the same time last year. Earlier Monday, Trump criti- cized Chevron CEO Mike Wirth on social media after the oil exec- utive touted his company’s efforts to ramp up oil and gas production amid a “somewhat fragile and un- certain” energy market in an in- terview with Fox Business’ “Sun- day Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo. ExxonMobil and Chevron did not respond to The Post’s re- quests for comment. Victor Nava
ScHANzER
AUdI Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly called President Trump on Satur- day and implored him to hold off on striking the Islamic Republic of Iran. Trump acquiesced and punted on a massive American bombing raid that could have potentially turned the tide of the war. Admittedly, Saudi Arabia is in a tough spot: The Iranian regime continues to hammer the king- dom with drones and missiles, threatening its oil and water re- sources. But the Saudis have not gone unprotected. American warfight- ers and even Greek air defense teams have ensured the safety of the Saudi state throughout this conflict. Yet rather than aligning more closely with us, the Saudis have started to gravitate toward an al- liance of basket cases in the Mid- dle East.
The alliance is now referred to as “STEP”: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan. These are all theoretically American allies. But they are not exactly working for American interests right now. They view the weakening of the Shiite regime in Iran as an op- portunity to reassert Sunni state dominance in the Muslim world. At the same time, they are not eager to see the widening of the war because it would wreak more havoc, which is why they keep calling for diplomatic agreements. By now, however, it should be clear that the Iranian leadership is not interested in a diplomatic agreement. Every time one is brokered, the regime carries out aggressive ac- tions in the Strait of Hormuz or it attacks our Persian Gulf Arab allies. And that’s not likely to change. So when the Saudis ask America for restraint, they need to offer clear alternatives, not platitudes.
Better yet, the Saudis should join the fight. Admittedly, the Saudis last month launched one strike against Iran-backed militias in Iraq. And according to recent re- ports, the Saudis may be prepar- ing for military action against
the Iran-backed Houthis in Ye- men, particularly if the group tries to shut down Saudi ship- ping in the Red Sea. The Saudis have a history of conflict with the Houthis; Ri- yadh launched a war against the group in 2015. That war garnered a huge
amount of criticism from US lawmakers, primarily due to er- rant strikes that led to high civil- ian casualties. But that was then and this is now. A wider war has erupted across the Middle East. Iran and its proxy network are fighting America and its allies on multiple fronts, and America should not be expected to fight on its own. The Israelis have stepped up when asked. They’ve put skin in the game. It’s time to ask the Saudis to do the same. The kingdom boasts a vast ar-
senal of American-made planes, helicopters, tanks and other weapons.
Its forces are clearly equipped to fight, even if questions linger about the readiness of Saudi fighters, who have not seen much action on the battlefield. In the end, however, it boils down to will. Now, whenever the war heats up, the Saudis seem to want to cool it down — a significant shift from the beginning of the con- flict, when Saudi officials quietly

backed Trump’s effort. With the war at an impasse, and the Iranian regime looking increasingly emboldened by that, Saudi Arabia must be put to a choice. There’s no time for fence-sit- ting. The president should send our allies in Riyadh a clear message: It’s time to either join the fight, foot the bill, or get out of the way.

WASHINGTON — President Trump declared Monday he’s giving Iran one “last chance before decapita- tion,” betting on lucky No. 13 for his final ultimatum. Speaking from the Oval Of- fice, Trump claimed negotia- tions are underway to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as Tuesday after he called off a large-scale “World War II” inten- sity military operation over the weekend to give Iran a final chance to avoid destruction. “This is a last chance,” Trump said. “This is the last chance for them to sign a good document.” “I want to give them every last chance before decapitation,” he added. The president has given Iran at least a dozen chances since the war began Feb. 28, threaten- ing strikes or imposing dead- lines for major actions by Teh- ran only to reverse course or ex- tend time limits, according to a review by The Post of prior statements. This includes backing down from operations to blow up power plants or moving self-imposed deadlines for military strikes.

For example, he delayed at- tacks twice in the spring, halted planned bombing in April to keep talks alive, backed off fur- ther strikes in May after Persian Gulf allies pushed for restraint, and held fire again in June as US and Iranian negotiators worked toward a framework deal. Asked what was different this time that makes him believe Iran would finally bend, Trump im- plied he’s trying to avoid large scale damage to the Iranians. “It’s very tough to do what we have planned, still planned.

see what happens, but it’s very very tough thing to do,” he said of so-called decapitation strikes, which would target Iranian lead- ership instead of infrastructure for the first time since the first days of the war. Trump said Iran requested the negotiations after backing from key gulf allies, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, following his decision to call off what he described as a massive US military strike over the weekend. “We are talking right now,” Trump said. “We’re talking, and we’re talking at the request of Iran, backed by Saudi Arabia, backed by UAE, and backed by Qatar in particular.” Trump suggested Americans would soon know if diplomacy succeeds. “You’ll find out today or tomor- row,” he said. “They’re going to
While Tehran publicly rejected Trump’s Sunday claim that US-Iran talks are underway, Iranian of- ficials said they’re in in- tensive negotiations with Oman, which shares the strait with Iran, over the future of

It’s not very complex.” But Iran claimed Monday it is not negotiating with Washing- ton, but with Oman on plans to reopen the strait. “To avoid any misunderstand- ing, it is important to clarify what the current negotiations are about and who they are with. We are not negotiating with the United States at this time,” Ira- nian Foreign Ministry spokes- man Esmail Baghaei said. Trump also laid out what he described as a two-phase plan, saying the immediate priority is reopening the strait, the narrow waterway that serves as one of the world’s most important oil shipping lanes. After maritime traffic resumes, he said, Washington will turn to negotiating over Iran’s nuclear program, the president’s north star.

Hate crimes have surged in the Big Apple under Mayor Mamdani, with more than half of incidents targeting Jewish New Yorkers, crime statistics show. The 9.4% uptick in hate crimes comes even as all seven major crime categories saw sharp de- clines across all five boroughs — including historic lows for mur- ders and shootings — so far this year, according to NYPD data re- leased Monday. More than half of hate crimes, 56.9%, were antisemitic, although Jews make up just 10% of the city’s population, the NYPD noted. Many Jewish leaders were quick to blame Mamdani, an outspoken critic of Israel who has accused it of committing a “genocide” during the war in Gaza and called for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “People take their cue from the mayor,” said Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Antisemitism and a former state Assembly mem- ber from Brooklyn. “He’s creating fear in the Jewish community.” Gotham’s confirmed hate crimes of all types stands at 360 so far this year, with 33 in July, the data shows. During the same span last
Sen. Darline Graham ex- pressed support for nuking the Senate filibuster and pledged to stand “100% be- hind” President Trump dur- ing a debate Monday in the South Carolina Senate Re-
year, there were 329. Hate crimes against Jewish New Yorkers so far this year increased by 8.5%, 205 year-to-date compared to 189 for the same period in 2025. The suspected incidents in- cluded separate stabbing attacks on the Upper West Side on July 23 that left a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke and an Asian man wounded.
Accused stabber Raul Morales, 51, allegedly screamed “Allahu Ak- bar!” during the spree. The attacks prompted a wave of finger-pointing toward Mamdani by many Jewish advocates, espe- cially after he offered little more than a canned response. “You know, first and foremost, I want to make clear that this is a city where we have no tolerance for hatred of any kind,’’ he said when asked by the Jewish leaders if he had a reaction to the crimes. After the hate-crime data was revealed, City Council Speaker Ju- lie Menin, who is Jewish, called for action, but conspicuously didn’t blame Mamdani. “I remain deeply concerned and very troubled by the unacceptable spike in hate crimes, particularly driven by those targeting Jewish New Yorkers,” she said in a state-
publican primary race for her late brother’s seat. The debate marked Gra- ham’s first political test in her barely 2-week-old cam- paign to succeed one of the most influential GOP sena-
tors in history — her older brother, Lindsey Graham, who died of an aortic rup- ture last month. Graham indicated that she’s willing to scrap the Senate’s 60-vote threshold

ment. “This data underscores why as the Council’s first Jewish Speaker, my very first initiative was a Five-Point Plan to Combat Antisemitism,” Menin said. “I will not waver in the fight to protect our communities from hatred.” By contrast, Orthodox Jewish state Assemblyman Sam Berger (D-Queens) argued Mamdani must do more to combat antisemi- tism. “In his first six months in office, antisemitism has only gotten worse,” he said. “It’s hard to claim progress when hate keeps setting new records.” When asked Monday about the hate-crime surge, Mamdani said intolerance has no place in the city. He noted his administration increased the Mayor’s Office of Hate Crime Prevention’s budget
to pass the Trump-backed SAVE America Act — not- ing that it’s a step further than Lindsey would go in support of mandatory vot- er-ID legislation. “I am all for — this is
by 800% to $26 million. “We know that while Jewish New Yorkers comprise a minority of our population, they continue to comprise a majority of the vic- tims of hate crimes,” he said, dur- ing an unrelated press conference in The Bronx. “And that is unac- ceptable. The work to uproot an- tisemitism out of this city is one that will continue until we see hate crimes come to an end.” Major crimes are experiencing major dips across the board. In July, shootings decreased 21.3% to 59. Murder is down 22.8% for the first seven months of the year. Burglary, auto theft, robbery, grand larceny and felony assault were also down between 0.4% and 25.3% so far this year. Additional reporting by Carl Campanile, Matthew Fischetti and Vaughn Golden

Transit crime in the Big Apple spiked nearly 11% last month, a surge cops Mon- day partially blamed on vio- lent and sticky-fingered re- cidivists. July saw 173 transit crimes overall, compared to 156 during the same month last year, NYPD statistics show. The increase was largely fueled by felony assaults and nonviolent grand larce- nies, police officials said. Felony assaults accounted for 27% (47) of all transit crime during July, while grand larcenies — thefts of property valued at more than $1,000 — made up 51.4% (88), officials said. Roughly half of those fel- ony assaults were committed against three different types of victim: NYPD cops, MTA employees and the elderly, according to officials. Assaults on elderly strap- hangers accounted for nearly 21% of felony assaults in July, with 10 recorded compared to four during the same month last year, or a 150% in- crease, authorities said. So far this year, crime un- derground increased by 1%, or 14 incidents overall, ac- cording to the NYPD data. Felony assaults during that span increased 8.3%, or by 30 attacks, data shows. Attacks on the elderly in- creased by 46.7%, or 66 as- saults during 2026 so far compared to 45 last year, data shows. Assaults against NYPD cops and MTA em- ployees largely stayed flat. Law-enforcement sources argued recidivists — such as Joseph Zimmerman, 56, who has been arrested at least 50 times and previously was highlighted in a February exposé by The Post — helped fuel many of those increases.

‘hit on’ staffers
WASHINGTON — Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) had a young female staffer “scared lowkey” after mak- ing seemingly romantic ad- vances toward her and an- other woman who worked in his Capitol Hill office as part of a pattern of “persistent unprofessional and inappro- priate conduct,” according to a House Ethics Committee report released Monday. Edwards, a 65-year-old married father and grandfa- ther, “went beyond norms of professional behavior by giving both women lavish gifts,” “commenting on the two women’s appearance” and “inviting them to inti- mate dinners and vacations,” the 20-page report found of his behavior to female staff- ers in their early 20s. The North Carolina Re- publican also arranged for a singer to appear at one of the women’s birthday parties to sing Ed Sheeran’s song “Hills of Aberfeldy” — and tell her the gift was “from a special someone,” the report stated.

A luxury-car dealer in West- chester County is being merci- lessly tormented by an anony- mous online troll — who derided his wife’s wedding jewelry as “an- other s--t ring’’ that “mommy” paid for, a new lawsuit says. Charles Gray, who peddles high- end rides and once helped run his dad’s now-defunct dealership Re- spect Auto, is demanding in his suit that Meta unmask the person behind a rogue Instagram account he claims has relentlessly smeared him as a “fraudster” and a “scammer” since December. “Another s--t ring,” reads a post featuring a photo of Gray holding his wife’s gold-and-diamond-ring- laden hand — a snap filed with the Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit. “Paid for with stolen money from Charles’ victims or by Charlie’s mommy who still pays his bills. Im- agine being 40 and this is all you can get,” the post adds, according to the suit, which decries the account’s “dozens of false statements.” A photo of Gray also appeared on the suspect Instagram page with the caption, “My morals are as s–ty as this haircut & im 40 and live w my mom so theres that too,” the lawsuit says. Gray’s suit says, “Beyond the defamatory statements, the Scammer Account has engaged in a persistent campaign to harass and intimidate Petitioner, his wife, and their family members.” Many of the offensive posts on Instagram — which is owned by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta — tag other luxury-car dealers and Gray’s friends and family mem- bers, the filing says. Some of the posts also target his wife and claim that she is a “scammer” who is “complicit’ in fraud,” the suit alleges. In the account’s most recent post, text alongside a photo of his wife with her family declares, “YOUR DAUGHTER IS MARRY- ING A MAN WHO IS A KNOWN FRAUDSTER and is millions of

dollars in debt.” The account somehow managed to post multiple private pictures of Gray and his wife, too — including wedding pics and a snapshot of the couple on vacation with a text over- lay reading, “Couple of scammers and frauds enjoying nobu malibu on stolen funds,” the filing says.
Those photos and others only exist on Gray’s phone and his cloud backup, and he “[had] not sent these photographs to any- one,” court documents claim. While his lawsuit states that he “has a viable cause of action against the user(s) of the Scammer Account for defamation,” it says his camp needs Meta to reveal the account’s true identity. But while Gray says he needs Meta’s account logs and IP records to reveal the culprit, several photos posted by the troll were shared with “only one person” — former friend Tomás Mayer De Paulo through WhatsApp, the suit claims. Meta did not respond to a Post email, while Gray’s lawyer de- clined comment.

The vibrant, East Asian immi- grant enclave of Flushing may be New York’s medical fraud capital. A 1-mile radius of the neighbor- hood boasts 77 Social Adult Daycares (SADCs), which bill Medicaid more than $100 million a year, accounting for 14% of all daycare spending in the state, a Post investigation reveals. When The Post visited some of largest — which are private busi- nesses that have claimed between $20 million and $40 million from Medicaid over the last six years — many storefronts were empty, and those that were open had empty rooms with no patients. At Livingwell Day Care on Northern Boulevard, lights were dimmed over rows of empty ta- bles in a mess hall near the en- trance. No seniors appeared to be inside, but Livingwell billed Med- icaid $27 million from 2018-2024 and had over 26,500 patients, ac- cording to federal data. A man at the front desk refused to answer questions, chased a re- porter and cameraman out and threatened to call police. The fa- cility has not been implicated in any crimes.
A woman who identified herself as Wendy, a care worker at Bao Kang Adult Day Care on Blossom Avenue, told The Post she has 100 or 200 patients a day, but said “I don’t know” when asked about the $32 million billed to Medicaid for serving 43,900 unique patients during the same years. Wendy denied The Post a tour, but a security monitor behind her desk displaying common areas showed every single one was empty. Since The Post’s initial expose on New York’s SADC abuse in January and a federal bust in Feb- ruary that saw two men charged with ripping off $120 million over 10 years from Medicaid using two SADCs they owned, workers have been on high alert. Entrances are locked during business hours, while windows are covered in perforated vinyl wrap. At Merry Adult Day Care on 35th Avenue — which billed $25 million from 31,500 patients dur- ing the six-year period — a masked worker poked her head out of the door, wouldn’t answer
any questions and asked The Post to leave. Kang Hua on Main Street billed $22 million for 25,800 unique pa- tients; Greater New York Social and Health on Maple Avenue billed $28 million for 32,500 pa- tients; Evergreen Adult Day Care on Roosevelt Avenue took in $32 million for 57,500 patients and Sunrise Senior Service billed a whopping $45 million for 56,800 patients. None of those facilities has been accused of fraudulent be- havior. However, corruption and kick- backs are the norm, according to those who work in the area. “Seniors come in and ask, ‘Do you have any benefits for me?’ ” Kenny Chan, owner of a neigh- borhood pharmacy told The Post, using the local euphemism for il- legal kickbacks, where seniors get a small cut of the amount the pharmacy or SADC is billing back to Medicaid. “I say, ‘No, we don’t do that here.’ I’ve lost so much business.
I’ve had to pull money out of my own pocket to keep the business going.”
other pharmacy he claimed was a fraud site. That tiny storefront was a hive of activity, packed with seniors and three or four workers bus- tling around with clipboards. Chan said there’s often a line down the block to get in. “The new pharmacies, the ones that have been here five or 10 years, they offer a lot of ‘benefits.’
About 60 or 70% of them have a connection with the daycare cen- ters,” he said. “If I did that, I would be very busy.” For Chan, it’s not just local grannies who’ve pestered him about joining the hustle. He said daycare workers, other pharma- cists and even doctors have ap- proached him asking if he’d like to jump on the gravy train.
“I want them out. I’m waiting for the day they get shut down. It’s not legal. It’s crazy,” he said. An investigation by The Post found seniors in a typ- ical scheme get $500-$1,000 a month in daycare kick- backs while the facility pockets upward of $3,000 a month per pa- tient. According to city and federal data, Flushing’s SADCs billed a total of $733 million from 2018- 2024, the latest year for which spending figures are available. Confusion about the role of SADCs and what they are there to provide is one of the reasons
most people turn a blind eye to them.
As part of Medicaid’s Managed Long-Term Care program, SADCs are intended to be exclusively for seniors with a “chronic illness or disability” who are “clinically-eli- gible” for “nursing home level of care,” or experience memory is- sues like Alzheimer’s disease or require “assistance with physical maneuvering [during] daily liv- ing,” such as eating or bathing, according to the state Depart- ment of Health. A spokesperson for the city De-

partment of the Aging further clarified, telling The Post: “There are important distinctions. [Sen- ior center] membership is open to all New Yorkers ages 60 and older. [They] serve meals, and in- person and virtual activities are designed to meet the needs of their members. “SADCs serve adults with func- tional impairments and need a higher level of care than [senior centers] can provide.” However, that was not the case for dozens of SADCs visited by The Post earlier this year, where the facilities were indistinguisha- ble from city-run senior centers, which are not a part of Medicaid.
Healthy, active seniors played ping pong and mahjong, rode sta- tionary bikes and got lunch deliv- ered from local restaurants — all on the taxpayers’ dime. SADC workers, patients and even local politicians who spoke to The Post were unaware of the difference between senior cen- ters and daycares. State Sen. John Liu, who repre- sents Flushing, blamed a lack of city facilities in the district. “You come to Flushing, you cannot help but see a preponder- ance of older residents, older Asian residents. And with that concentration, for there to be only one senior center in down-
town Flushing, that speaks to the lack of resources, which perhaps all these centers have sprung up in order to fill the void of,” he told The Post. “I think it would be misguided to paint all of these centers with the same brush and to paint Flushing as the epicenter of this kind of fraud, if it exists.”
fraud to fester in the state, where the $115 billion-a-year Medicaid spend is by far the highest per- person in the nation. “Due to a lack of proper state oversight, these centers have be- come cash cows for criminal syn- dicates, who use kickbacks and other illegal practices to steal millions from Medicaid,” he told The Post. “When Flushing, Queens, alone accounts for roughly 14% of all social adult daycare spending in New York state, it’s pretty obvi- ous that these centers aren’t pop- ping up solely to fulfill a legiti- mate need in the community.”

DETROIT — Michigan’s Senate race on Tuesday has turned into the battle royale between two competing visions for the Demo- cratic Party. The primary election between Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Ha- ley Stevens had been an unusually competitive swing-state matchup between a hardcore progressive and a more moderate Democrat amid the national debate between the two sides roiling the party. The competition tests the the- ory whether a lefty outsider backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocas- io-Cortez (D-NY) is needed to tap into the energy of the base, or whether an established lawmaker who has supported Israel is only electable in a battleground state. “Michigan is Ground Zero in the battle for the future of the Demo- cratic Party — pitting corporate- funded status quo insiders against shake-up-the-system economic

fighters,” Adam Green, the co- founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, who has stumped with El-Sayed, told The Post. Whoever wins will face off against Republican Mike Rogers in a must-win state for Democrats’ chances of retaking the Senate. Rogers narrowly lost to Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) in 2024, while President Trump carried the bat- tleground state in his march back to the White House. El-Sayed is entering primary day as the clear favorite with a roughly 10-point lead on the RealClearPo- litics aggregate. But some polls spell trouble for him in November, including an EP-

“I think one of the big differences between now and 2018 is that Trump won again in 2024, and it’s proof that running these ‘electable,’ ‘moderate’ candidates isn’t enough,” Michael, 29, from Royal Oak who is backing El-Sayed and didn’t provide his last name, told The Post.

But many DSA members and allies would undoubtedly view his victory as proof that they can compete in swing states. During a campaign stop with re- tiring Sen.

SuSan CollinS Wants to avoid shutdown.
push deal for funds
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders are pushing lawmak- ers to advance a bipartisan government funding deal this week so that they can vote to avert a shutdown when the chamber returns next month from a five-week recess. Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Col- lins (R-Maine) said the con- tinuing resolution (CR) would fund most of the gov- ernment at current levels until Dec. 11, while increas- ing spending on certain pro- grams such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Pro- gram for Women, Infants and Children. It also would scrap a pro- posed federal rule that gave the White House’s Office of Management and Budget greater authority over grant funding. A rep for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) posted on X: “Bipartisan CR released eight-plus weeks be- fore funding deadline. Pass- ing it now will avert costly government shutdown in the fall.” Josh Christenson

Last month, Earth pro- duced its coldest tempera- ture in 14 years. Antarctica’s Concordia research station recorded the frigid temperature of –119.4°F on July 18. The remote research sta- tion recorded the bone- chilling temperatures twice overnight, at 6:25 a.m. and again at 6:34 a.m. These reports are the coldest to be recorded on Earth since 2012, when temps at Russia’s Vostok Station in East Antarctica reached −119.6°F.

NDIANA Fever guard Sophie Cunningham expressed a mainstream opinion in a very compassionate way, but it’s been twisted beyond recognition by the ultra-illiberal world of women’s sports. In a long ESPN profile two weeks ago, she stated that while she wants to “extend love” to everyone, biological males identifying as women don’t be- long in girls’ sports or locker rooms. About 15 years ago, this would have been the most banal statement of all time. But in 2026, Cun- ningham’s reality- based declaration has made her Enemy Number One in the WNBA uni- verse, where one must only hold the approved set of progressive politics. There, the backlash has been enormous. The brave hoopster is now being booed by fans, branded hateful and even called “anti-black” in a Guard- ian piece.
All she did was answer a ques- tion from a reporter honestly. Now she must face the wrath of loud activists, who use words like “transphobe” or “bigot” to shut down a much-needed dis- cussion. Their labels — defanged by overuse — are deployed sim- ply to launder their lunacy. It’s a lunacy that demands bi- ological males have access to women’s spaces or sports. Cunningham’s statement is not anti-trans; it’s pro-common sense. It isn’t a right-wing belief or even controversial. It’s an opin- ion that cuts across political lines. Maybe it’s just the right- ies who have the stomach for being harassed by activists, so they are the ones most willing to speak up. Don’t ask for sanity from the league coaches. During a Sunday match-up against the Fever, Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wore a “trans kids belong” shirt as a response to Cunningham. And Golden State coach Na-
talie Nakase offered similar useless language. “I’m all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that includes trans women,” she said. “So, I’m all about inclusivity.” Sure. But trans women aren’t women. They are biological males, and biology matters in both competition and safety. Then there’s Katie Nolan,
who said that Cunningham doesn’t “have critical-thinking skills” or she’s not “interested in employing them.” It’s Nolan being willfully ig- norant here. In a recent episode of her podcast “Casuals,” she said, “Nobody is saying we should get rid of, for example, the WNBA and the NBA, and everybody should just compete
together.” She is right. I haven’t heard activists screaming for the eradication of women’s categories. I’ve only heard them demand that males identify- ing as women be in those categories. This is a de- mand that has dominated our dis- course over the last dec- ade. There’s been story after story about girls being beaten by bio- logical men at all levels of competition, most promi- nently in high school.
Anyone who spoke up was punished, and dissent was crushed. In 2023, a Vermont high school girls basketball team was suspended from state play after forfeiting a game against a school with a male on the girls’ team. A year later, five middle schools in West Virginia who protested against a trans athlete were benched. Last week, Seattle Storm’s co- owner Celeste Keaton was sus- pended for five games after she berated two young girls who held a sign thanking Cunning- ham. One of them was Ahnaleigh Wilson, a 16-year-old from Washington who competed in the 1,600 meters at the 2024 Jun- ior Olympics, finishing second to a trans athlete. She has competed against at least four more males. Wilson knows what it’s like to lose out to a boy — and to be cursed out by someone in the “be kind” brigade. But why listen to a girl who was actually affected by these anti-female policies? It’s easier to call these young ladies names and say it’s a fringe issue that simply doesn’t exist.

Chilling video captures the mo- ment a mob of Muslim migrants chanting “God is great” in Arabic clashed with Spanish police in the Mediterranean enclave of Ceuta — days after more than 60,000 people bum-rushed the border. Footage taken Sunday showed migrants yelling “Allahu Akbar” while carrying a man who was re- portedly injured by police. The army of migrants, many raising clenched fists, were seen running through the streets of Ceuta, a Spanish territory on Mo- rocco’s Mediterranean coast. It came after tens of thousands of migrants swam from Morocco into the Spanish city on Thursday — which is one of only two Euro- pean land borders in Africa. At least 72 people died either from drowning or the resulting stampede on the beach. The incident has rattled the EU because the migrants, once inside the Spanish territory, would poten- tially be able to travel to any of the 29 countries in the Schengen Area without a visa or border checks. As a result, Italy revoked its Schengen agreement with Spain for one month, and France stepped up its border inspections. The invasion was reportedly trig- gered by social media posts in Mo- rocco that falsely claimed migrants would be offered Spanish citizen- ship upon arrival. It also came after Spain’s leftist government announced a program allowing an estimated 500,00 un- documented migrants already liv- ing in Spain to obtain work permits between April and June this year.
Spain received more first-time asylum applications than any other European Union member in 2025, with 141,000, roughly 21% of the EU total, according to official figures. The socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also issued the highest number of first residence permits of any EU state to non-EU citizens in 2024, according to official figures.

a lab leak: Biden big
Reuters
Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator during the Biden administration, re- vealed Sunday that he now favors the so-called lab leak theory as the most plausible origin story of the pandemic. “When I went into the White House [in April 2022], my view was, this was almost surely a natural outbreak, maybe a lab leak,” Jha (inset) told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Based on information I learned and based on infor- mation I have seen, I have come to conclude that it is more likely to have been a lab leak,” he added. “Here’s the bottom line: No one in the United States knows for sure. The only people who know for sure are people — officials in China, and we still need transparency and accounta- bility on that,” concluded Jha, the former dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health. “So that is my best assess- ment. I’m not suggesting I know for sure, but I’m saying my best assessment is that it probably was a lab leak.” Later Sunday, Jha clarified that he favors the theory that the lab leak was acci- dental and that he warmed up to it during his time in the Biden administration.

Either way, it’ll cut into the spider-purse as the cost of liv- ing is way too much for a pro bono crime fighter whose day jobs are delivering pizzas and working part-time as a photog- rapher for the local paper. Hopefully May got good death benefits from Uncle Ben. She and Peter would need $300,000 “at a minimum” to af- ford a 30-year mortgage at the charming home — one which Lee said would come without big homeowner association fees. Lee feels the more realistic nabe for Spidey would be trendy Astoria, which the Mar- vel Cinematic Universe used as a setting for the recent Tom Holland franchise films. Spider-Man still would nei- ther be in the lap of luxury nor a hip area. He would likely find a budget studio far from the N/W train above bustling 31st Street and closer to the East River near Hallets Cove, Lee added. He could pull a modest $1,800 abode, and if web travel to
Manhattan and the other bor- oughs doesn’t cut it, Spider- Man could park a car for a monthly $250. “Although it’s going to be very affordable, it’s not always going to fly [off the market] so quickly because it’s cheap for a reason,” Lee said of the area. “So it might be a lower level. It might have a blocked window.” Even outside of housing, the city’s cost of living could be a nemesis more threatening than the Sinister Six. “He would have to make $150,000,” billionaire John Catsi- matidis told The Post of the Web Head living comfortably while he tries to make ends meet.

Peter Parker has been known to work jobs like delivering piz- zas and selling photos to the fictional Daily Bugle. Jobs site Indeed lists a Dom- ino’s delivery job in Queens for about $17 an hour, which on 40- hour weeks would total at a meager $35,360. ZipRecruiter notes that part-time photogra- phers in the Big Apple can rake in around $46,327 annually. If Peter were to have both
gigs routinely, he would make well under that $150,000 mark at an estimated $81,687 — likely hoping his wealthy pal Harry Osborn would take him in. While Spider-Man would be able to swing into the city to dodge $9 congestion pricing, his spider sense would be tingling with other annoyances — like a high-quality internet plan from Spectrum at $60 per month. The big snafu for Holland’s big-screen Spider-Man is that he passed up an MIT education for the greater good in “No Way Home,” which could hurt his credit in closing a deal. “I think the rental buildings are going to be way more strict, especially when they have the income guidelines. They’re go- ing to just do a generic credit run,” Lee said. However, the grateful people of Queens looking to rent a floor of their home could stick up for Spidey, she added. “When you meet some of these Astoria property owners, if there’s a connection and they like you and they see that you’re hustling, I think there’s landlords who would definitely work with somebody to get a renter,” she said.

The Idaho In-N-Out gunman who killed two people and wounded seven others before killing himself was a college dropout who previ- ously railed against crime in X posts, The Post can exclusively re- veal. Years before Chad Williams, 24, showed up at the new Twin Falls fast-food joint, he expressed horror at the randomness of an armed car- jacking in his hometown of Waddell, Ariz. “Last month a man pointed an AK-47 at the door of a house only streets away from my childhood
home,” he wrote in the Nov. 14, 2024, post. “He would have killed you or me for walking out of our front door at the wrong time.” Williams, whose X bio said that he was a “former foster care youth,” and that he participated in Boys State, a leadership program for top students, in 2019, stopped posting in July 2025.

boss in ‘slay’ rap
A Mexican cartel leader who allegedly ordered a TikTokker’s live-streamed murder because she and his son had broken up has been arrested. Ramón Ángel Álvarez Ayala, a senior figure in the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, was captured by special forces in downtown Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco, on Thursday, Mexican out- let Excelsior reported. He was also wanted in the assassination of Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Urua- pan who was killed during a Day of the Dead festival in November 2025. Fashion and beauty influ- encer Valeria Marquez was killed in her Jalisco beauty salon in May 2025 when a gunman stormed the busi- ness and shot her in the chest and head. Marquez was broadcast- ing to her tens of thousands of followers when the assas- sin entered the salon and could be heard asking off camera if her name was Val- eria. The 23-year-old’s body then slumped onto the table and a woman could be seen rushing to turn the lives- tream off. Cops have not yet ar- rested son Francisco Álva- rez or the gunman who car- ried out the assassination. Chris Bradford

Todd Blanche Rescinds ‘victims’ fund.
to clear AG nom
Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis confirmed Monday they will vote to advance Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General out of the Senate Judiciary Committee after the acting DOJ chief for- mally terminated a $1.776 billion fund established ear- lier this year for victims of purported government weaponization. “From the outset, we were clear that we needed a writ- ten document addressing our concerns on the IRS au- dit agreement and the anti- weaponization fund,” Cor- nyn (R-Texas) and Tillis (R-NC) said in a joint state- ment. The Judiciary panel, chaired by Sen. Chuck Grass- ley (R-Iowa), scheduled the vote on Blanche for Tuesday morning. Late Sunday, the acting AG formally rescinded a May 18 order establishing the anti-weaponization fund, declaring that it “shall have no force or effect.” Samuel Chamberlain

Shore Shock: Seven people died and 40 were hurt Monday when a Ukrainian drone (circled) hit a Russian beach (right) on the Black Sea.
By Anthony BlAir
Seven people, including three children, were killed Monday on a Russian beach after a Ukrainian drone reportedly went off course and crashed close to Vladimir Pu- tin’s secret $1 billion palace. Shocking video shows the small, plane-shaped object plummet from the sky and hit the ground in a fiery explosion at the Black Sea resort city of Gelendzhik, in Kras- nodar Oblast. At least seven people are be- lieved to have died, according to local authorities, as reported by the BBC’s Ukrainian-language news service. A further 40 people were re- ported to have been injured, in- cluding children, with 21 of the
wounded being rushed to nearby hospitals, according to the Kras- nodar Region Operations Head- quarters. The beach was packed with va- cationers at the time. Russian authorities claimed the victims were killed by falling de- bris from the drone, accusing Ukraine of attacking “civilian infra- structure,” according to Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev.
However, several local media outlets reported that the un- manned aircraft crashed after it was jammed and shot down by Russian air defenses. “It would be strange to see such an aerial tumble during a standard operation based on faulty coordi- nates,” Kirill Mikhailov, a Russian military analyst, told Agentstvo, per The Times. Gelendzhik, roughly 250 to 300
miles from the Ukrainian border, is also home to an expansive pal- ace belonging to Putin. The Russian tyrant reportedly spent the equivalent of $956 mil- lion to complete his private resort in 2022, according to an investiga- tion and documentary from the late opposition leader Alexei Na- valny.
The beach is also located next to a branch of one of Russia’s key rocket and space production com- panies, the NVO Machine-Build- ing Company, according to a re- port in the publication Agency. Ukraine has yet to comment on the incident, and has not said what the drone’s target was.

KANYE West and his barely clothed wife, Bianca Censori, caused a “circus” in a place known for partying. They were spotted at Casa Jondal and DC10 in Ibiza, with a source telling us Censori “is all but naked everywhere, dancing on tables while Kanye videos her.” The source said, “They are making a scene. There is no question when he walks in a room, he is cre- ating a circus,” and noted the pair “clearly reveled in all the attention everyone gave them.” One photo shows Censori in a sheer body suit. Elsewhere on the Spanish isle, Leonardo DiCaprio and his gal pal, Vittoria Ceretti, took the op- posite approach, with Leo trying to go incognito under his ball cap.
SCott Eastwood detailed his on-set confrontation with “psy- chopath” Shia LaBeouf while the two starred in the 2014 film “Fury.” “Shia is clearly tormented and has maybe got some stuff going on,” Eastwood (above) said on the “Armchair Expert” podcast yester- day. “One day, he was having an episode and thought I shouldn’t be spitting tobacco on the tank, which was in the script, and then I finally said . . . ‘F - - k you. Stop pulling your s - - t.’ I said, ‘I’m gonna whoop your ass.’ ” Eastwood, 40, said co-star Brad Pitt had to break up the “tense moment.” Page Six has reached out to LaBeouf’s rep.
DAVID Zaslav fought a good fight, but not even $80 million could push him over the fin- ish line within the camp war that’s rocking New York’s wealthy Westchester County. The Warner Bros. CEO was hoping to save his kids’ camp after “summer camp kings” brothers Michael and David Shabsels’ $400 million summer camp empire went bankrupt. Zaslav initially bid $68 million on Mohawk Day Camp — the camp his adult children at- tended in their youth — and the bidding war was so intense that Zaslav upped it to a whop- ping $80 million, we’re told. Unfortunately, that still wasn’t enough. We hear several entities stepped up, with one al-

leged real estate hedge funder offering nearly $100 million for the camp. A source familiar with the bid told Page Six the reason Zaslav increased his bid was that he “wanted to keep it as a family tie.” Zaslav previously told Page Six, “This is a personal family investment that reflects our lifelong belief that summer camp can be a wonderful part of a child’s growth, and Mo- hawk’s history as a successful camp experi- ence for so many kids, including our own.” Mohawk is one of the 30 camps that was thrust into bankruptcy at the start of the sum- mer, kicking off a battle among real estate “sharks,” camp alumni, healthcare moguls and
KURT Cobain’s widow Courtney Love once demanded that the police file on his death be handed to her, with no copies left at the Seattle Police Department, according to a newly unearthed docu- ment, reports The Post’s Alex Diaz. Cobain’s widow made the request Oct. 20, 1995, about a year and a half after he was found dead with a gun- shot wound to the head. Inves- tigators declared Cobain’s death a suicide, which Love concurred with, but researchers who believe it was a homicide have campaigned to get the case reopened. It emerged that a lawyer acting for the Hole singer wrote to the Seattle police chief in 1995 seeking all investiga- tion files regarding Cobain’s death. “This letter is to request that the complete investigation file of the Se- attle Police Department pertaining to Mr. Cobain’s death be delivered to me, with no further records or cop- ies to remain with the Department,” lawyer Bryan Coluccio wrote in the missive discovered by research- ers for the “Who Killed Kurt?” group. Coluccio said the request was made because “several persons” tried to make money from the “sale and distribution of material pertain- ing” to Cobain’s death. Reps for Love, the SPD and Coluccio didn’t respond to requests for comment.
RALPH and Ricky Lauren have just wrapped up a multimillion-dollar makeover on their sprawling oceanfront Montauk compound, a source tells Page Six. Over the decades, the fashion icon has quietly assembled a nearly 10-acre estate by snapping up three adjoining prop- erties, including the former home of legendary “Zoo Story” playwright Edward Albee, which Lauren pur- chased for $16 million in 2018. We hear that the fash- ionable couple’s children David and candy shop owner Dylan also have properties on the com- pound. When it comes to the renovations, a source told us, “It’s like living in a Ralph Lauren store. It’s so perfect,” describing the aesthetic as “simple, un- derstated and chic.” A rep for Lauren declined to com- ment. According to reports, the property features two tennis courts and two swimming pools. Lauren purchased the first spot — a home built in 1940 by Frank Lloyd Wright associate Antonin Ray mond — sometime in the early 1980s. The couple is known to be pri- vate and family-focused, with a source telling us they tend to avoid the area’s social scene.
wealthy media execs like Zaslav to grab a piece. There’s a fear within the camp partner com- munity that outsiders are only interested in taking over the land and pushing them out. “Some of them claim they only want to be si- lent partners, but they really want to change these camps that have been operating for gen- erations,” a source said. Hedge funds, such as Rubric Capital and Sam Drazin of Drazin Capital, are also “scooping up camps” from the Shabsels’ bankrupt properties. We hear principals from those funds set up American Youth Camping to bid on at least five properties, including $14.6 million for Camp Echo and $5.4 million for North Star.
BRuCE Springsteen cele- brated wife Patti Scialfa being cancer-free over eight years after she was diagnosed with blood cancer. The “Dancing in the Dark” singer shared the news Saturday during a virtual appearance at Boston’s Pan-Mass Challenge fund-raiser, which raises money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Insti- tute. “Patti’s been living with her multiple myeloma for over eight years, but now, thankfully, she is in remission,” he said. Spring- steen, 76, lauded her medical team and said he could see the work happening at Dana-Farber “every single day” Scialfa (above) under- went treatment. Scialfa, 73, was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 but kept it secret until 2024, when she appeared in the documentary “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.”

light RefuNd Suffolk cam settle
By Brandon Cruz
Suffolk County must shell out up to nearly $60 million to settle a lawsuit over the $30 “administra- tion fee’’ it slapped on its now-de- funct red-light-camera tickets, ac- cording to a new settlement. The long-awaited Long Island pact, reached this week, will reim- burse drivers up to $57.5 million — or as much as $36 per ticket they received between 2013 and 2023 — for the illegal fees that the ad- ministration of former County Ex- ecutive Steve Bellone tacked on to each ticket. “We are pleased to have reached a resolution that is fair to the members of the class while also protecting the interests of Suffolk County taxpayers,” said Christo- pher Clayton, the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the class-action suit. “This litigation began during the prior administration and has been both lengthy and complex — this settlement brings this matter to a responsible conclusion and allows the County to move forward,” he said. For the 10-year period between 2013 and 2023, Suffolk County col- lected a $50 fine from drivers who ran a red light — but then tacked on another $30 “administrative fee,” which was found to be illegal by a state appellate court in 2024. The class-action lawsuit, first filed in 2016, sought to recover the millions of dollars that Suffolk

and Nassau counties both pock- eted through the added surcharge. Under the newly approved set- tlement, Suffolk County agreed to repay drivers up to $36 for each ticket — $30 for the administra- tive fee and $6 in interest — but that amount could be less depend- ing on how many drivers apply for reimbursements.
The pot stays at $57.5 million re- gardless, and it’s unclear how many people will seek reimbursements. Neighboring Nassau County, which tacked on an exorbitant $100 in illegal fees per ticket until 2024, is still fighting its own case in court in an effort to avoid hav- ing to pay back $400 million. As part of the newly reached agreement, Suffolk will pay up to $45 million in total to ticketed drivers on top of the program’s administrative costs and another $12.5 million in lawyer fees. Eligible Suffolk drivers will soon receive a mailer noting they were victimized by the county’s cash grab and that they can cash in by applying for a refund through the directions on the flyer. Current County Executive Ed Romaine ended Suffolk’s red- light-camera program at the end of his first year in office in De- cember 2024, not long after the appellate ruling found the added fees to be illegal.
Some parks will feature ranger- led nighttime hikes through the woods, storytelling and s’mores. Tents will be provided, and camp- ers will only need to bring sleep- ing bags and bedding.

Three New York City-area hos- pitals on Tuesday earned coveted spots on U.S. News & World Re- port’s annual “honor roll,” re- served for the nation’s top 20 hos- pitals delivering exceptional care across multiple specialities. NYU Langone Hospitals, Mount Sinai Hospital, and New York- Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell were recognized in the publication’s Best Hospitals rankings. The three also tied for the No. 1 spot among the best regional hos- pitals in the New York metro area. U.S. News reviewed nearly 4,500 hospitals across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions. Just 16% earned a Best Hospitals designation. NYU Langone Health main- tained the nation’s highest num- ber of No. 1–ranked specialties and top-10 specialties, with 12 of its 13 ranked clinical specialties placing in the top 10. “NYU Langone achieved these top rankings through our talented and dedicated care teams,” said Dr. Alec C. Kimmelman, CEO of NYU Langone Health. Langone also retained the No. 1 ranking in neurology and neuro- surgery for the fifth consecutive year, and cardiology, heart and vascular surgery for the second straight year. NYU Langone also received high-performing designations in
President Trump on Monday accused US Attorney Jeanine Pirro of folding “like an umbrella” for dismissing charges against former Olympian David Hearn — rather than standing by the case that alleged the canoeist vandal- ized the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. “The judge was extremely un- friendly to Jeanine and frankly, I think she choked,” Trump told re- porters in the Oval Office on Mon- day. “The judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked.”
all 23 procedures and conditions. The recognition extends to NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion, and NYU Langone Or- thopedic Hospital in Manhattan, as well as NYU Langone Hospital- Long Island and NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn. New York-Presbyterian Hospi- tal-Columbia and Cornell ranked among the nation’s top five in eight specialties and, with oph- thalmology joining the list for the first time this year, became the only New York hospital to place in the top 20 across all 14 specialties. It also continues to be recog- nized as a Best Regional Hospital for Community Access. “This achievement reflects the extraordinary dedication, expert- ise and compassion of our physi- cians, nurses, and teams,” Dr. Brian G. Donley, president and chief executive officer told The Post Mount Sinai ranked in the top five in two specialities — cardiol- ogy, heart and vascular surgery and geriatrics — while also plac- ing in the top 10 for cancer. It was also recognized as a Best Regional Hospital for Community Access. “This recognition reflects ef- forts . . . to build teams of physi- cians, nurses, and other care team members who place patient safety, quality, and experience at the cen- ter of everything we do,” Dr. Da- vid L. Reich, chief clinical officer of the Mount Sinai Health System, told The Post.
“I was disappointed in Jeanine Pirro. Really disappointed in Jea- nine Pirro,” he added. “She folded like an umbrella.” Pirro’s office submitted the mo- tion to dismiss on Friday, arguing the Department of Interior, led by Secretary Doug Burgum, “pro- vided less than fulsome informa- tion at the outset of this case.” However, Trump, who pushed for the renovations at the Reflecting Pool — even personally supervising them — focused his ire on Pirro. “Pirro made a mistake. There was vandalism,” he said. “People get away with things, and it’s a disgrace.” Emily Goodin

vER the last three years, Ariana Grande has shrunk before our eyes. And we need to talk about it, no matter how uncom- fortable it might make us feel to pick apart a person’s body. Because hundreds of millions of people across the world follow Grande on social media, many of them young, impressionable girls — and their developing body im- age and mental health depends on it. And because Grande herself has invited the conversation, writing and filming a music video in which she brutally mur- ders a tableful of men who have picked apart her body and her image. She might have intended to use the film for her new single “Petal” to shut the conversation down, but how could we not talk about the fact her protruding col- larbones and skeletal body were the most dominant feature of the entire video?
Song of silence
At 33 years old, Grande was al- ready alarmingly thin during her “Wicked” and “Wicked: For Good” press tours in 2024 and 2025. Then during her recent Eternal Sunshine tour, it was impossible not to notice her twig-like, gaunt and, yes, scary-looking body. But it was her latest “Petal” video that became the hardest to ignore. In it, Grande plays Pep- per, a Hollywood hopeful who is told again and again by casting directors that she is not good enough. As the group of men critique her looks and her weight, one character scrawls a note (despite Grande’s obviously skeletal form) that Pepper “couldn’t hurt to lose a few pounds.” Eventually, Grande’s character — a literal shadow of her former self — snaps and, with a roaring chainsaw, hacks her row of crit- ics gorily to death, emerging blood-spattered and victorious. But the alarmingly thin state of her body obscures any intended message of self- or female-em- powerment the music video might have to offer. And it’s even more disturbing when you see her in scenes
standing or sitting next to an army of almost rudely healthy other women.
Message to young girls
Yes, it would be easier to say nothing and to appease her fans who say we should leave her alone. But the message that would send to our younger sisters, cousins and daughters is that this is normal.
That it’s OK for them to ques- tion why their bodies don’t look like hers. That no one else will stand in their way if they try to emulate her look. As a 29-year-old woman who started to struggle with body im- age issues as a young teen and still deals with them to this day, it breaks my heart that we would stand by and stay silent. While the specific, personal reasons behind Grande’s weight loss are not — or at least
shouldn’t be — any of the public’s business, our girls need to know that this shape for a body is not the norm. What’s more, they need to know that it’s OK — and more importantly, healthy — if their body doesn’t look so thin. And that frail or sickly is certainly not the goal. To question this growing socie- tal idea of thinness equaling goodness, success and desirabil- ity doesn’t feel like being a busy-
body to me. Instead, I maintain that it’s a valid concern for the mental health of the girls we love most.
The reality is that our girls are watching — quite literally, con- stantly, on social media as their idols are fed to them on Insta- gram and TikTok and Pinterest. And we owe it to them to have these conversations, no matter
how much ire they provoke, pro- vided we have the necessary em- pathy, compassion and critical eye to conduct them properly. Perhaps model and body-posi- tivity activist Charli Howard said it best in her recent Instagram post on Grande’s latest project, when she referenced her past as an eating-disorder survivor and expressed how “vital” it is that we discuss content like this, along with the damage they can cause to women and girls.
“WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS NOT NORMAL,” posted Howard. “Over the last few weeks, as im- ages of Ariana’s concert get plas- tered around online, I obviously see comments from worried fans, but I also see other people con- vincing others that she looks ‘healthy,’ or that she has simply ‘lost puppy fat.’ Some even make jokes about it. “What I see is someone in des- perate need of hospitalisation and care,” she continued, though
it should be noted that neither Grande nor any of her reps have ever publicly confirmed any kind of eating disorder or health issue. But with the uptick of Skinny- Tok, a growing focus on weight- loss-inducing peptides (even for teens) and the normalization of thin-is-in culture, it is that much more important for the young and impressionable in our lives to see a proper role model they can go to for inspiration, both aes- thetically and values-wise.

demands telecast
Lights, camera, Luigi? Luigi Mangione wants as many people as possible to watch his upcoming Man- hattan murder trial — de- manding it be broadcast live and that a judge take other measures to increase media access to the head- line-grabbing case. The 28-year-old accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week urged state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro to ensure his trial is live- streamed — or otherwise give an explanation for why the public won’t get to watch the case in real time. Jury selection in the case is set to start Sept. 8. Mangione also asked the court to show the trial on a live “overflow” feed within the courthouse so that all journalists or members of the public who turn up to watch will be able to follow the action. “A criminal defendant’s essential right to a public trial, covered by all news reporters seeking to do so, is essential . . . to the basic administration of justice,” his lawyers wrote to the court Friday. Live broadcast footage of New York criminal trials is typically banned by the state court system — to protect defendants such as Mangione. Ben Kochman

Wildfires raging on the outskirts of Spokane, Wash., for a third day have de- stroyed at least 700 buildings and forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes in and around the state’s sec- ond-most populous city, offi- cials said on Monday. The cluster of three blazes ranks as the top firefighting priority in the US, including the drought-parched Pacific Northwest, where dozens of major wildfires have been burning for weeks, degrad- ing air quality across a wide region. The Spokane-area fires have scorched more than 8,000 acres since erupting on Saturday. Reuters
America’s homeowners associa- tions are running out of money — and patience. Amid rising insurance premi- ums, drained reserve funds and in- creased safety measures in the wake of the Surfside condominium collapse in Florida, the country’s hundreds of thousands of home- owners associations are cracking down on delinquent residents. Even more startling, HOAs are skipping grace periods and hand- ing delinquent accounts over to attorneys. HOA foreclosures spiked nearly 40% in two years to 6,376 proper- ties in the first quarter, according to real estate analytics firm Attom, as reported by The Wall Street Jour- nal, putting its pace ahead of that of overall mortgage foreclosure rates. These foreclosure sales are “like most foreclosures in that they are typically an auction,” California attorney Kirk Pearson, who repre- sents homeowners in HOA dis- putes, told The Post. “If the property is sold at auc- tion, the homeowner has a 90-day right to redemption where they can buy the property back by pay- ing any delinquent amounts plus any collection fees and costs. If there are no bidders at the fore- closure sale, then the HOA takes ownership of the property. The HOA can then keep the property, sell it, transfer it to the bank where there is a senior lien holder, or allow bank foreclosure.”
A homeowner is often expected to clear their delinquent dues, fees and legal costs during the re- demption period following a fore- closure sale. “In some states, like Pennsylva- nia, the homeowner has no ‘right of redemption,’ which means at the fall of the hammer at a sheriff’s sale, the homeowner no longer has a right to pay off the debt,” Stephen M. Hladik, who has a Pennsylvania- based mortgage foreclosure legal practice, said to The Post. “HOA foreclosure sales can be subject to various liens and en- cumbrances, and a buyer should do research to see what types of liens there are against the prop- erty, and whether those liens sur- vive the foreclosure sale.” Missed dues are often only a fraction of the bill — the real bur- den comes from ballooning col- lection costs, Pearson said. HOAs frequently outsource delinquen- cies to specialized collection firms that profit by tacking heavy fees onto outstanding balances. Worse, those firms are often owned by the same corporate attor- neys advising the HOA, the Califor- nia attorney noted. That gives the HOA’s legal team a lucrative finan- cial reason to aggressively pursue foreclosures instead of helping res- idents resolve their debt. Millions of Americans are part
of HOA communities, where dues are rising. “HOAs are being forced into more aggressive collections to avoid their own financial col- lapse,” Brian Fox, co-founder of real estate technology firm Benut- ech, told the Journal. Families in Magnolia Cove, an 80-home community outside Charlotte, NC, are contending with the increase in their monthly homeowners association dues from $350 to $1,250, with a $10,000 special assessment tacked on for good measure. In 2025, HOAs filed over 285,000 liens, up about 8.8% from a year earlier, Benutech, which tracks
HOA delinquency trends and foreclosures, told the Journal. Besides delinquencies, costs have been rising for HOAs in in- surance premiums, staffing, lawn care and materials. The annual in- surance premium at one Long Is- land HOA surged to $360,000 from $60,000.
Plus, there’s the expense of meeting stricter safety measures, which were instituted in the wake of the partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South condo, a 2021 tragedy that claimed 98 lives. As unpaid dues trigger legal bat-
tles and delayed upkeep, the mounting cash crunch isn’t just threatening individual homeown- ers — it’s tanking property values for entire neighborhoods. In many states, “super priority” laws even let HOAs foreclose over unpaid dues before banks can. Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s Las Ve- gas home was saddled with $25,000 in unpaid dues starting in January 2025, plus interest and le- gal fees, the WSJ found. Mayweather’s attorney said the unpaid dues stemmed from an ac- counting oversight that has since been settled following a recent overhaul of the boxer’s financial team.

Fauci’s power buried it under puerile politics
NE lesson stands out among the many we must take away from the debacle of COV- ID-19: No more Faucis. I don’t mean keeping petty, preening public servants out of positions of authority; that’s probably asking too much. An- thony Fauci proved himself to be both last week, when he cited the Fifth Amendment 111 times to skirt questions in Congress — yet still managed to convict himself. His dodging looked bad, and the release of his diary made him look worse: a shallow, vain, dis- honest man more concerned with politics and media coverage than with doing his job, which he did poorly. But while I’d be happy to see Fauci in the dock, his repu- tational downfall can’t be the end of the COVID reckoning. So let me repeat: No more Fau- cis. By that I mean we should never again allow a single bu- reaucrat or a small group to exer- cise the sweeping and largely un- checked institu- tional power that Fauci wielded for decades. Fauci served as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 until the end of 2022. In this role, he was the senior federal official overseeing the bulk of US gov- ernment-funded research on in- fectious diseases, immunology, allergy and related areas. Thirty- eight years is too long for anyone to head a bureaucracy. And while Fauci didn’t control all of America’s biomedical re- search — NIH as a whole, other federal agencies, private founda- tions and industry fund more — his long tenure at NIAID made him particularly influential. Cu- mulative funding under his di- rection ran into the tens of bil- lions of dollars. After 9/11, NIAID became the lead civilian agency for biode- fense research against Category A agents like anthrax and smallpox, vaccines, diagnostics and medical countermeasures. This included expanded work on “dual-use re- search of concern” — that is, re- search on pathogens that could be used either to treat illness or to maliciously spread it. Fauci’s continuous four-dec- ade tenure, unprecedented for an NIH institute director, gave him deep institutional knowl-

edge, relationships across gov- ernment, and high public visibil- ity. After so long in office, he had connections everywhere — and he used them with relish. People who crossed him were unlikely to get funded; people who pleased him had a much better shot. No wonder he saw himself as the embodiment of science itself. But science isn’t something that people are; it’s something people do. It’s a system in which hypotheses are tested, supported or falsified, and developed fur- ther. And allowing one person, with all his human biases and weaknesses, to hold so much power over science for so long can only do that system harm. It’s not just Fauci. Look at the field of Alzheimer’s research, where for decades the so-called “Amyloid Mafia” — a powerful, self-reinforcing network of sci- entists, grant reviewers, journal gatekeepers, conference organiz- ers and industry figures — pushed the amyloid cascade hy- pothesis of the disease. Key figures like Dennis Selkoe at Harvard and Paul Aisen at the University of Southern California saw to it that their pet theory took precedence over alternative ideas. It was nearly impossible to get grant approval for proposals in the field that didn’t include an amyloid angle, and papers push- ing alternate hypotheses were fre- quently rejected. Meanwhile drugs based on the amyloid hy- pothesis didn’t really work — and one of the most important papers
promoting the theory turned out, in 2022, to be fraudulent. According to investigative journalist Charles Piller, who de- tailed the “fraud, arrogance, and tragedy” last year in his book “Doctored,” the incestuous, self- protecting nature of the amyloid clique meant that a decade or more of potential progress was lost. (That’s a loss I feel person- ally: My mother has Alzheimer’s and is currently in memory care; my father, too, suffered from it before his death.) The granddaddy of scientific groupthink is the Soviet school of Lysenkoism, the Marxist-in- fluenced theory of evolution that dominated Russia’s agriculture across three decades, with disas- trous results. But because Josef Stalin found the concepts es- poused by Trofim Lysenko to be congenial, it was deadly danger- ous to contradict them. Science advances by criticism, dialogue and challenges to widely held beliefs — even if those beliefs are held by those in power. Systems in which the powerful can steer money to their friends and away from crit- ics tend to do bad science, or no science at all. Science is never really “set- tled,” in other words — and the insistence that it can be was one of the most damaging messages of the COVID years. We need to fix NIAID, NIH and other science agencies to make open communication and diver- sity of ideas easier, and to make it harder for those at the top to build empires and stifle critics. No more Faucis, ever again.
Decency desk: College-Sports Bill’s Killer Flaw The National Collegiate Athletic Association promotes “the Protect Col- lege Sports Act” as the answer to its “college football, conference realign- ment and name-image-and-likeness” problems. But “the NCAA and its lob- byists aren’t telling anyone” that the bill “is a Trojan horse for men in women’s college sports,” thunders Kim Jones at The Wall Street Journal. One provision would stymie federal lawsuits to protect women’s sports, “halt efforts to hold the NCAA accountable under Title IX” and undo “state protections for women and girls in school sports.” Don’t trust the NCAA, which “permits member schools to allow men on women’s teams” and “al- lows men to define themselves as women and use women’s locker rooms.” America’s “female athletes deserve the full protections of Title IX.” “Solve football, solve NIL, but don’t exempt the NCAA from Title IX and state law.”

The border rush at Ceuta — “tens of thousands of military-aged men in- vaded” the Spanish exclave — shows what “the Democratic Socialists of America’s mass-amnesty and open-borders policies would look like in practice,” warns the Washington Examiner’s editorial board. Spain’s social- ist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has significantly “implemented” the dream of “mass amnesty and open borders” shared by the Western left on the premise that “we owe migrants the right to come here” because capital- ism “supposedly destroyed their countries’ economies” — when in fact it was “socialist policies” that “condemned their own people to misery.” So- cialists now seek to “import that misery” wholesale, which is what happens when “governments transform border enforcement from a sovereign obli- gation into an exercise in ideological guilt.”
Rather than “panic,” Republicans in the midterms should adopt a “bold branding campaign, without apology,” argues The Washington Times’ Rob- ert Knight. Recall the horrors under President Joe Biden, when gas was “$5 a gallon, inflation soared as high as 9%, millions of unvetted illegals poured across the border,” and Iran was just weeks from “getting the bomb.” “The message: If you vote Democratic at any level, you are summoning back the bad old days,” and “you are also enabling Democratic Socialists of Amer- ica” and their “bizarre, anti-American agenda.” GOP ads should “illustrate the stark moral contrast between the parties,” from Dem-enabled “billions of dollars in fraud” to lunatic pro-trans propaganda to Kindergartners to Democrats’ embrace of antisemitic America-hater Hasan Piker, who claimed America deserved 9/11. “Make the Democrats own it all.”
Rep. Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed’s fight for Michigan’s Democratic Senate nomination is “the most contentious primary of the 2026 cycle,” note Douglas E. Schoen & Carly Cooperman in The Hill, and a Dem win in the fall “is vital to the party’s chances to retake” the Senate. Uh-oh: “El- Sayed appears to be gaining considerable momen- tum in the campaign’s final days,” but has strug- gled to gain popularity among “Independents and Black voters, two vital demographics in Michi- gan.” Surveys show him trailing Republican Mike Rogers by 10 points, while “Stevens and Rogers are virtually tied.” So the likely progressive pri- mary victory will increase “the odds that progres- sives will have won the battle only to cost Democrats the war.”
Abdul El-Sayed
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “packaged publication of surcharge targets” is “potentially dangerous,” but his supporters are defending him by saying “tax and property information” is public, fumes Reason’s J.D. Tuccille. The raw data is, but this selected list has been compiled into a search-friendly file, which is a whole different thing. And the tax hits condos and coops val- ued at $1 million; by NYC standards “those owners are not necessarily the richest of the rich at all. But they’re prosperous enough to stir the socialist mayor’s backers into a frenzy of envy, which is probably the intention.” In our “age of weaponized hatreds, just being suspected of success can get you on politicians’ enemy lists.” — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board

audi Arabia reportedly convinced Presi- dent Trump to call off the planned mas- sive attack on Iran over the weekend; will the kingdom now live up to the long-term obligations that ask implies? That is: If Riyadh wants to help shape US policy, it needs to act as a full-fledged US ally, and deliver — whether by somehow getting Iran to truly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and denuclearize, or by committing major finan- cial and military resources to a serious mili- tary campaign that forces Tehran’s hand. Trump said he paused the strikes last Sat- urday because the kingdom and other Gulf states asked him to: Per Saudi media, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman urged the prez to prioritize “dialogue to de-escalate tensions” and “prevent a wider conflict.” Yet Tehran plainly doesn’t want “to de-es- calate tensions” and is certain that threaten- ing “a wider conflict” is how it can win in negotiations what it can’t on the battlefield. If the Saudi ruler wants Washington to stand down anyway, then he needs to put a whole lot more skin in the game. We get it: The prince fears Iran will retali- ate against key Saudi sites if US forces strike
roving again that there’s nothing they can’t blame on the Jews, lefties are claiming the bum-rush of 50,000 people across the Mo- rocco/Spanish border is an Israeli plot. Between campaign stops for socialist in- surgents, 9/11 enthusiast Hasan Piker told his Twitch audience: “Israel and America got the Moroccan government to send like 40,000 people into Spanish administered territory.” How did Israel manage that? “I dunno, man,” Hasan . . . explained? It’s not just the puerile podcaster pushing this poppycock: Longtime Human Rights Watch head Kenneth Roth ID’d Israel’s mo- tive for supposedly tricking 50,000 Moroc- cans into invading Ceuta: Spain “controls both sides” of the Strait of Gibraltar and could “potentially block Israeli access to the Atlan- tic” — Jerusalem wants its nominal ally Mo- rocco in charge of Gibraltar-adjacent Ceuta.
ny association with “the Epstein world” renders you unfit for even an advisory role at Mayor Mamdani’s City Hall — but similar ties to terrorists is fine. City Hall says it rejected the one Jew it had considered for a panel that recommends po- tential judges on the grounds that John Lev- enthal had been an appellate lawyer for Ghislaine Maxwell, which to the mayor yields a “loss of faith” in the legal system. Hmm: The guy Mamdani chose for the job of chief counsel (offering high-level legal and strategic guidance) is Ramzi Kassem, who has defended al Qaeda terrorists. Is it any wonder many 9/11 families don’t want the mayor anywhere near Ground Zero for the 25th anniversary ceremonies?
America’s oldest continuously published daily newspaper
power plants or other vital infrastructure in
Iran; other Gulf states share similar worries.
But the prolonged holdoff on serious
strikes even though the diplomatic dance
never goes anywhere only prolongs the mis-
ery — for the region and the world. MBS
surely doesn’t want to see Iran get nukes or
control the Strait, charging protection
money; the only other option is sustained,
forceful military and financial pressure.
Riyadh has gotten tougher: Back in May, it
denied US forces the use of Saudi airspace
and bases to defend ships in the Strait; last
week, it reportedly joined in (limited) US
strikes. That’s the way to go: The Saudis
can’t keep sheltering under the US security
blanket that’s protected the kingdom for
decades.
The sane Saudi response to Iranian threats
isn’t appeasement but stronger deterrence,
defense — and even offense. All the Gulf na-
tions will benefit greatly from a defanged
Iran and a fully reopened Strait; it’s in their
interest to step up and join the US mission.
MBS needs to start talking out of just one
side of his mouth, or he’s not worth listening
to. Lead, follow or get out of the way.
Yet Spain doesn’t “control both sides” of that strait; Britain owns Gibraltar. And the idea that Madrid would risk the world’s wrath by closing an international waterway out of pique over Gaza is laughable. Other marble-minded antisemites pushing the conspiracy theory include Young Turks host Ana Kasparian and actor Javier Bardem. Of course, this follows recent claims that the Jewish state was behind everything from Charlie Kirk’s assassination to Egypt’s loss in the World Cup Round of 16 to the implosion of Graham Platner’s candidacy in Maine. All of it 100% evidence-free — because for these fever-dreamers, the conclusion is all the evidence anyone should need, even (espe- cially?) when obvious facts show it’s nonsense. Blaming the Jews is dim sociopaths’ favor- ite pastime; too bad these maniacs are tak- ing over the Democratic Party.
Kassem waged a tenacious defense of al Qaeda stalwart Ahmed al-Darbi, who bombed a French oil tanker off the coast of Yemen in 2002, and did more legal work on behalf of a dozen other Guantanamo detainees. Mamdani also had no problem naming a lawyer who specializes in defending cop- killers to the judicial-advisory board: Soffi- yah Elijah represented notorious Brinks- robbery murderers Marilyn Buck and Sun- diata Acoli in court, and writes passionately in defense of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Mutulu Shakur and other cop-killers. The mayor plainly has a litmus test for his legal appointments: No Jewish lawyer wel- come, but the door is wide open for advo- cates for the most violent radicals.
Could you imagine the reaction if Austin Franco had rejected an offer from a predominantly black or Muslim law firm because of its ethnicity? If that stu- dent were not removed from Cornell, there would likely be protests (“Hate- ful “Beg’ot,” Aug. 2). But the reaction to the student’s Jewish bigotry has been relative silence. This is one reason that antisemites feel encour- aged to hold and promote their beliefs. Franco need not worry. I am certain he will be of- fered a position in a pres- tigious law firm and soon promoted to partner. Then he will be appointed to Mayor Mamdani’s judi- ciary advisory panel. Chuck Levner Woodmere

N
EW Yorkers, hold onto your wallets and brace yourselves for financial chaos. Mayor Mamdani’s minions in the Democratic Socialists of America are preparing to radicalize the state Legislature in January, when they take their seats in Albany. A warning sign of their coming craziness appeared Friday, when Mamdani-endorsed Assembly can- didate Brian Romero put up a Go- FundMe page with an unusual re- quest. He begged for handouts to cover his own rent and groceries for the rest of this year, until he’s sworn in to represent East Elm- hurst, Jackson Heights, Astoria and other parts of Queens. Romero won the Democratic pri- mary in June — and with no Re- publican opponent, he’s a shoo-in. But he can’t start collecting his $142,000 salary and $203 per diem until January, and he says he can’t figure out how to support himself in the meantime. Beggar Boy Brian calls this a “challenging time.” “I’m trying to find sort of some gigs, but I don’t know how other folks do it,” he said. “Other folks,” meaning the rest of us who . . . go out and get a job to pay our bills. He took the page down after The Post started asking questions. Romero, who earned $106,469 as a legislative staffer before resigning to run for office, says he’s run through his savings. Yet he’s the guy voters are entrusting with billions of dol- lars in state spending? His political platform includes a pie-in-the-sky list of government giveaways — universal child care, free legal services for immigrants and more — all paid for by making the rich “pay their fair share.” The
I
DSA’s agenda is a freeloader’s agenda, and Romero is its living, breathing poster boy. He’s one of the eight New York City DSA members who swept to victory against more moderate Democrats in the party’s June pri- mary. The meager 17% voter turn- out fueled their “hostile takeover,” as Mount Saint Vincent professor JC Polanco told The Post. DSA victors like Mamdani-en- dorsed state Senate candidate Aber Kawas, an avowed socialist, promise “transformative change.” Believe her — and Gustavo Gor- dillo, NYC-DSA co-chair, who last week condemned the entire “Dem- ocratic Party establishment” for
BETSY McCAUGHEY
“selling us out to billionaires, land- lords and warmongers.” And although the DSA caucus will be few in number— 16 in all, four in the state Senate and 12 in the Assembly — their impact will be huge. History shows they vote as a disciplined bloc, and that they can intimidate incumbent Democrats with the implicit threat of a primary campaign powered by thousands of door-knocking volunteers. Tax hikes are at the top of their agenda. “We brought the fight to Gov. Hochul to tax the rich last session, when we had only nine so- cialists in the state Legislature,” Gordillo said. “This cycle . . . there’s a whole new crew of pro- gressive legislators who are going to demand what New Yorkers
want, which is for Hochul to tax the rich.” The DSA agenda — high taxes, ever-expanding giveaways, utopian accounting — would bankrupt New York. Excessive taxes have already helped push the state into eco- nomic decline: The formerly great Empire State now ranks dead last among the 50 states in economic outlook, according to the Tax Foun- dation’s Business Climate Index and other measures. And the Citi- zens’ Budget Commission warned in June that the state is already in precarious financial condition due to excessive spending. But where are Sens. Chuck Schu- mer and Kirsten Gillibrand, the party’s so-called leaders? Cower- ing and speechless. And where is the Republican Party? Romero’s waltzing to Al- bany without having to face any opponent in November’s general election, because the GOP didn’t bother to recruit a candidate to compete for the seat. That’s the shameful case in 44 of the 150 Assembly seats being filled this year. How demoralizing for Re- publican voters in those districts. Romero’s embarrassing personal choice — resorting to panhandling instead of earning a living — is a warning of the threat ahead. Voters who have any option to vote against these DSA radicals must do so. And because Hochul has shown no backbone to resist Mamdani’s radicalism, Republican Bruce Blake- man deserves voters’ full support. A vote for Hochul is a vote for the DSA — and for financial ruin. New York state can’t put up a Go- FundMe page when the money runs out. The burden will be on you.
From Ludicrous Liar To Cambridge Don
F The Onion or the Babylon Bee wanted to spoof the absurdity of DEI — the woke ideology of “diversity, equity and inclusion” — they couldn’t have invented a character as unbelievable as Jason Arday. But Arday is very real: Born in 1985, in 2023 he became the youngest black man ever to hold a professorship at Cambridge University. Naturally, he had to overcome great adversity to do so. Really great ad- versity — because Arday, the son of a Ghanaian immigrant to London, isn’t just black, he’s autistic and was nonverbal until the age of 11, accord- ing to the glowing media profiles he’s received. And he’s epileptic, yet that didn’t stop him from “running 30 marathons in just 35 days,” as re- ported in Britain’s Independent. Indeed, he’s a sports hero: The University of Bath posted a blog in 2021 presenting Arday’s claim that as a
child he’d played both soccer and
snooker at a professional level.
Though last week, the university
amended the transcript to say he’d
only played soccer “semi profes-
sionally” and was “really good” but
“not good enough to be profes-
sional” at snooker.
Never mind: He has so many
other claims to fame that correcting
that little misstatement takes very
little away. After all, Arday was also
a star of the most famous documen-
tary in British history, Michael
Apted’s “Seven Up” series, which
starting in 1964 followed the same
subjects from childhood to old age
at seven-year intervals.
Starting, that is, 21 years before
Arday was born. No, the series
didn’t add new participants over
time — its whole point was to track
the very same people who took part
in the first installment.
Truly, thanks to DEI anything is
possible. Arday now says that when
He’s a poster child for the suspension of disbelief DEI requires of its advocates.’
he made the claim in 2022 (“I was part of a program . . . called ‘Seven Up’ . . . basically when they follow you over the duration of your life”) he was talking about a totally differ- ent “Seven Up” documentary. As with so much else in Arday’s almost superhuman biography, ev- idence for this, other than the pro- fessor’s say-so, is curiously lacking. And there’s much, much more to Arday’s story — the brain tumor he overcame while completing his PhD, the 600 miles he ran in six days on a treadmill, the millions of pounds he’s raised for charity . . . A miraculous individual like Ar- day might never even have been admitted as a student at Cam- bridge, let alone made “professor of the sociology of education,” if not for the spirit of affirmative ac- tion. Yet now he’s facing accusa- tions of plagiarism because more than 100 passages in his disserta- tion appear to be lifted from an- other academic’s work. He insists he’s a victim of racism and insufficient DEI — as the BBC notes: “Arday did not dispute the allegations of plagiarism, but de- fended himself by arguing that he had not received adequate supervi-

sion during his PhD given his au- tism and learning disabilities.” Even the left-wing Guardian newspaper found Arday a mite less than truthful, when he claimed a campaign to get him fired from Cambridge included a man threat- ening him with a knife (the school’s video system showed no man and no knife) and a severed pig’s head sent anonymously to his parents (London butchers and po- lice had no records to support Ar- day’s claim). When the paper asked Arday about his tale after trying to fact- check it, he said, “To be honest with you, I thought you’d just believe me.” The trouble is, too many in the media and the academy have been
believing Arday all along. He’s a poster child for the suspension of disbelief DEI requires of its advo- cates on both sides of the Atlantic. It’s comical when it’s just about a professor of the sociology of educa- tion, even one at a university as prestigious as Cambridge. But it’s no joke when DEI madness spreads from sociology or education depart- ments to every other corner of the academy, including law and medical schools — and from there into the legal system and hospitals. There’s no limit to how far DEI will go if left unchecked: It finds nothing too ridiculous to be laughed out of consideration. If Ja- son Arday decided to call himself an airline pilot, who’s going to keep him out of the cockpit? Honest and competent minority scholars wind up under suspicion when DEI lowers standards for ev- eryone who fits the right racial profile. Yet by fueling such suspi- cion, DEI creates a market for it- self, as its purveyors claim only af- firmative action can overcome the public’s doubts. Arday deserves his fame in one respect, at least: His tall tales reveal the appalling truth about DEI.

“I’ve heard some mistakes called ‘expert errors,’ ” a club player said to me. “I thought experts didn’t make errors; that’s why they’re experts.” “Everybody makes errors,” 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 diamond. 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. 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 produce one more. Maybe South was really no expert.

a ‘dream’ home
By TAylor HerzlICH
By TAylor HerzlICH
JPMorgan Chase says it’s investing a whopping $750 billion through 2035 to help millions of Ameri- cans buy homes as many report the economic mile- stone slipping further out of reach. The nation’s largest bank said the financing will build or preserve 1 million affordable hous- ing units and help half a million customers pur- chase homes as part of its “American Dream Initia- tive” unveiled earlier this year, which aims to sup- port small businesses and other economic pillars. “An affordable and resil- ient housing market is es- sential to driving eco- nomic growth and in- creasing opportunity,” Mi-
chelle Herrick, JPMor- gan’s head of commercial real estate, said in a Mon- day statement. The bank said it plans to help those 500,000 cus- tomers — including 200,000 first-time home- buyers — purchase houses by ramping up mortgage lending by more than 40% and hiring 850 new Home Lending Advisors. It has carved out fund- ing specifically for hous- ing projects in the San Francisco area priced within reach of middle-in- come households, includ- ing nearly $200 million in financing for a 342-unit building on the water- front, the bank said. CEO Jamie Dimon, who has led the bank for two decades, has long sounded the alarm over
the future of the economy — specifically housing af- fordability issues in cities like New York City and San Francisco. In June, the median price of existing homes reached a staggering $440,660, while the me- dian age of first-time homebuyers last year jumped to 40 — the high- est age on record, accord- ing to the National Asso- ciation of Realtors. “Homeownership has always been at the heart of the American Dream. Owning a home can trans- form lives — providing stability, helping families build wealth, and creating a sense of community,” Sean Grzebin, CEO of Chase Home Lending, said in a statement. therzlich@nypost.com
in tHe U.S.a. Manufacture rise
Getty Images / Adobe Stock
Manufacturing activity in July hit a four-year high, with massive AI infrastruc- ture investment a major driver of growth, even as in- dustry leaders sounded the alarm over price volatility, according to a survey re- leased Monday. The Institute for Supply Management’s July manu- facturing gauge jumped to 55.6, expanding at its fastest pace since May 2022 and marking its seventh consec- utive month of growth, the survey said. Any reading above 50 in the ISM’s monthly survey indicates growth while a measure be- low 50 signals contraction. Susan Spence, chair of the ISM Manufacturing Busi- ness Survey Committee, said increased certainty around President Trump’s tariff pol- icy and hopes for a perma- nent deal to end the war in Iran helped encourage the boost in manufacturing. “My gut is, it’s not just a one- or two-month trend,” Spence told reporters. “Companies are seeing six or more months of these solid demand factors going in the right direction.” The survey’s July gauge for production jumped to 58.5, its highest level since the end of 2021; the employ- ment measure hit 52.8, rising for the first time in nearly three years; and new-orders growth, which signals de- mand, also increased.
Massive business invest- ments in AI infrastructure helped drive the expansion, along with political pressure to ramp up US manufactur- ing, according to experts.
Despite the growth in manufacturing, individuals’ responses to the survey were overwhelmingly nega- tive, with many industry leaders calling out price shocks from the Iran war and the chances that the Fed could raise interest rates next month to counter infla- tion fears. “Pricing volatility was mentioned in 57% of nega- tive comments, the Iran war, 43%, increasing lead times, 22% and tariffs, 18%,” Spence said. Among the survey re- sponses, one metals pro- ducer remarked that “it makes me yearn for the cor- onavirus pandemic chaos, which was more managea- ble than whatever this is that we are in.” Some transportation equipment manufacturers lamented increased costs and transit time “for re- routed shipments due to conflicts in the Red Sea, Strait of Hormuz and Suez Canal.” Others noted that a spike in demand for certain elec- tronics supplies due to the AI race was “challenging on- time fulfillment for our sup- ply chains.”

FIFA President Gianni Infantino wants the Trump administration to help keep him in office and sought private talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday amid growing pressure to resign over his scheme to sell off the World Cup to Josh Kushner’s private equity firm, The Post has learned. “He wanted to get online with the secretary and talk about how soccer can be a form of soft power for America,” said one insider briefed on the matter. “But we all know that it is about job protection. It is not about anything else at this point.” A second source said the Swiss-Italian sports suit felt “isolated” by the ava- lanche of negative media coverage. “He is looking for allies of note to publicly support him,” this person said.
Tyson Foods lowered its profit outlook for the year because of soaring cattle prices, which con- tinue to weigh on the meatpacking company’s bottom line.

Higher livestock costs are raising retail beef prices to record levels, curbing demand as consumers are already stressed.

The Post broke the news that Infantino’s attempt to spin off broadcasting, sponsorship, licensing and ticketing rights was dead after near-universal up- roar from soccer federa- tions worldwide. It has also sparked an open revolt against his leadership at the Zurich- based nonprofit, with one FIFA executive telling The Post that officials want to push Infantino out of the top job under a movement that has been nicknamed “Project Kill The Monster.” Kushner’s Thrive Capital would have taken a 20% stake in the venture for just over $4 billion. jfraney@nypost.com

lettuce victims
Victims of the disgust- ingly diarrhea-inducing cy- clospora outbreak can ex- pect to collect tens of thou- sands of dollars for their pain and suffering in the coming months, experts told The Post on Monday — as the first deaths linked to the outbreak were reported. Attorneys representing hundreds of people who got sick after eating contami- nated lettuce from Taylor Farms that was served at Taco Bell said victims could recoup anywhere from $20,000 to as much as $1 million, depending on the severity of their case. A death could garner a seven- figure settlement, they said. “These people didn’t ask to miss work and family events or get medical bills,” said food-safety attorney Ryan Osterholm, whose firm OFT Law represents about 400 confirmed vic- tims. One of his clients, a man in his 70s, is experiencing renal failure and is now on dialysis, according to the le- gal eagle. “We are concerned he could die,” Osterholm said. Two Michiganders who’d been diagnosed with cy- closporiasis and had under- lying health conditions have died, the state health de- partment said Monday. Food-safety attorneys are already in discussions with Taylor Farms’ legal counsel. Lisa Fickenscher
for Ford
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administra- tion said Monday that some older Ford cars and SUVs pose unreasonable safety risks because the timing belt may fail and cause them to lose power or en- gines to seize. The auto safety regulator upgraded a defect investiga- tion into about 135,000 Fi- esta, Focus and EcoSport ve- hicles with 1.0L engines from various model years be- tween 2014 and 2021. Ford, which has discon- tinued all three models, had no comment. Reuters
happy traders ‘Peace’ boost.
for oil, stocks
The Dow soared to an all- time high and oil prices slid more than 5% Monday after President Trump an- nounced over the weekend new peace talks with Iran and called off “massive” at- tacks there. Tech stocks sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging 693.38 points, or 1.3%, to 53,178.41. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq jumped 1.5% and 2.1%, respectively. Tech shares saw big gains the past three trading ses- sions, with an ETF tied to “Magnificent Seven” stocks like Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Nvidia rising al- most 4%. Brent crude oil prices dropped 4.7% to $83.77 a barrel while West Texas In- termediate crude fell 5.1% to $80.34 — though national average gasoline prices, which typically lag oil by one to two weeks, remained stubbornly above $4 a gal- lon. Traders were hopeful for a permanent peace deal as they sought to stabilize mar- kets after a particularly vol- atile July. Taylor Herzlich

Elon Musk’s SpaceX will report earnings Tuesday for the first time since go- ing public in an early test of whether the firm can overcome Wall Street’s fears about its massive spending on AI. SpaceX, which has lost more than $500 billion in market value since its de- but in June, will announce its second-quarter results after the bell alongside chipmaker AMD. Tech stocks have been under pressure as investors fret over whether costly AI in- vestments — such as Musk’s plan to build AI data centers in space — will pay off. “SpaceX is an indirect part of the AI trade as its satellite network, launch infrastructure and future data ambitions require huge computing invest- ment,” Mark Vena, CEO and principal analyst at
SmartTech Research, told The Post. “But this report will test whether investors are still happy to reward vision before profits.” The Texas-based com- pany closed at $114.53 per share on Monday — far below its $135 IPO price. The forthcoming earnings results are just one con- cern for the stock, which could see additional vola- tility when the first “lock-up” period blocking early investors from sell- ing their shares expires Thursday. Musk’s Starlink satellite network accounted for about 60% of SpaceX’s overall revenue last year — and Wall Street will be watching closely to see if its profits are trending in the right direction, accord- ing to Stephen Callahan, trading behavior specialist at online brokerage First- rade. Wall Street is projecting revenue of $3.82 billion
and operating profit of $1.42 billion in the second quarter for the Starlink segment. Analysts expect SpaceX’s spending to exceed an eye- watering $14 billion in the second quarter alone. Some experts are taking a more optimistic view of SpaceX with an eye toward such long-term plans. Ana- lysts at Bernstein have set a price target of $239 for SpaceX’s stock ahead of Tuesday’s earnings. “We believe the quar- terly results should not matter,” the analysts wrote in a note to clients. “What will be important is the level of confidence projec- ted by management re- garding the company’s growth path.” As for AMD, Wall Street will be watching closely for any signs of a slow- down in AI spending — as well as how the chipmaker is faring in its competition with market leader Nvidia.
plAnS fOr Ai Meeting on new regs
By Marc VarTaBedian and ThoMas BarraBi
As AI remains at the center of heated debate in Washing- ton, the White House is host- ing reps from Anthropic, Google and OpenAI for a confab on new regulations on Tuesday, sources told The Post. They’ll discuss a forthcom- ing framework on how AI- makers can voluntarily sub- mit their models to the gov- ernment before releasing them to the public or busi- ness partners, the two sour- ces said Monday of the meet- ing, which was first reported by The Information. The meeting — to be hosted by the Office of the National Cyber Director, an agency within the executive branch — comes in the wake of a June executive order that set an Aug. 1 deadline for completion of the frame- work. The policy has been fi- nalized and the meeting is in- tended to discuss next steps in the rollout, according to The Information. The meeting is expected to include staffers for the AI gi- ants instead of their high- profile executives, the outlet reported, adding that it wasn’t clear whether the White House will take public feedback before releasing the final policy. A White House official did not specify to The Informa- tion whether the framework

Twenty-five Democratic-led states sued the Trump ad- ministration on Monday, arguing the latest round of tariffs on goods from 60 trading partners, like the president’s ear- lier tariffs, exceeds his legal authority to tax imports. The White House, which didn’t comment, alleged part- ners weren’t doing enough to stop the export of goods pro- duced with forced labor. Reuters
is actually in effect already. Anthropic’s development of Mythos — an AI model that the company did not re- lease to the public due to po- tential cybersecurity vulner- abilities — initially triggered the executive order.
The White House sought a voluntary arrangement for AI companies to work with the government to spot risks in their newest models, part of a broader effort to confine federal regulation of the tech to a light touch. The execu- tive order directed several agencies to develop the framework within 60 days, including defining which models would be under its scope. In the days since the order, the Trump administration has taken a more hands-on approach with the leading AI companies, drawing some criticism from industry exec- utives and policy experts. That criticism intensified after the White House placed export controls on Fable, the public version of Anthropic’s Mythos model, and directed OpenAI to stagger the roll- out of its latest model, GPT-5.6. The framework is intended to create clearer plans for how and to what extent AI companies coordinate with the government before re- leasing new models.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
ORDINANCE NO. 116-2016
Associated Press
The Red Sox acquired All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman from the Orioles on Monday for a package that includes three of their top pros- pects. The 28-year-old 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 inflammation. He’s also dealt with an an- kle injury and a concussion this year. The deal was announced about an hour be- fore Monday’s trade deadline. Baltimore also sent catcher Jake Rogers to the Red Sox. In re- turn, the Orioles received minor league right- handers Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Wither- spoon, minor league outfielder 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 Eyanson in the top 50 in all of baseball. In another move involving a former top 5 draft pick, Boston traded shortstop Marcelo Mayer — the fourth overall pick in 2021 — to San Francisco for left-handed reliever Erik Mil- ler. The Red Sox also dealt right-hander Tyler Uberstine to Atlanta for outfielder Eli White. PADRES: San Diego acquired left-hander Robbie Ray from the Giants and right-hander Casey Mize from the Tigers, giving up three of its highest-rated prospects in deadline trades for two proven starting pitchers. 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 unre- stricted free agent this winter. The Padres also got infielder Gage Work- man from Detroit while giving up left-handers Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf. GUARDIANS: Cleveland made three trades to bolster its lineup and, surprisingly, its rota- tion as it seeks a third consecutive AL Central title. Cleveland acquired All-Star pitcher Foster Griffin from the Nationals for four players, strengthening one of baseball’s top rotations. The Guardians also made moves to get out- fielder Jo Adell from the Angels and first base- man Nathaniel Lowe from the Reds. The Nationals received left-handers Will Dion and Josh Hartle, outfielder Nick Mitchell and right-hander Kendeglys Vir- guez in the deal. PHILLIES: Philadelphia acquired three- time batting champion Luis Arraez from San Francisco. ASTROS: Houston added veteran outfielder Daulton Varsho from Toronto in exchange for right-hander Spencer Arrighetti. DIAMONDBACKS: Arizona got a left- handed bat with the acquisition of Lars Noot- baar from St. Louis for prospects. BLUE JAYS: Toronto bolstered its rotation with an eye on 2027 by acquiring right-hander José Soriano from the Angels for three pros- pects.

Dodgers’ prize a K maven
By MALIK SMITH
It’s safe to say the Dodgers won the MLB trade deadline. They caught the biggest fish on the mar- ket, adding Tarik Skubal to a team that more resembles an All-Star roster than an average ballclub. With Skubal joining the rotation, the Dodgers now have three of the top 20 pitchers in baseball based on WAR: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3.1, 13th), Shohei Ohtani (3.0, 17th) and Skubal (2.9, 19th). Skubal is set to make his highly antici- pated franchise debut against the Cubs in Chicago on Tuesday night, and the Dodg- ers are sizable favorites to win in his first

start at -198 on the moneyline. Skubal has been one of the best strikeout pitchers in baseball this season, but more importantly, he’s the best in the game at limiting walks. Skubal is adept at throwing first-pitch strikes. If he gets ahead of the Cubs hitters, he’ll force them out of their comfort zone and get them chasing. FanDuel Sportsbook has Skubal’s strike- out prop listed at 7.5 with the juice on the Over. In 16 starts this season, Skubal has thrown at least eight strikeouts eight times. I’ll bet him to go Over 7.5 here and show off his talents in his Dodgers debut. THE PLAY: Tarik Skubal Over 7.5 strikeouts (-138, FanDuel)
Headline News. “Naked man jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge and lives.” Why is it that I somehow feel responsi- ble for this? He’s either a Stitches fan, a Stanton fan or a Mets fan. Which brings us to our Tuesday play. The Mutts are at Cleveland.

The 60-year-old Berg, who will divest his ownership in- terest in LAFC, will be officially introduced Tuesday at MLS headquarters in New York. The league is investigating “reported antisemitic and discriminatory language” from fans directed at New En- gland Revolution striker Dor Turgeman, of Israel, during their game at CF Montréal, the league said.

Just win, baby: LSU head coach Lane Kiffin won’t win many popularity contests after ruthlessly leaving Ole Miss in the thick of the 2025-26 College Football Playoff run, but his Tigers are a juicy pick to win it all at 25/1 odds thanks to their transfer class.
By MICHAEL CALABRESE
To state the obvious: College football is not a popularity contest. Reviled coaches have reached the mountain top of the sport, scandal and bad press be damned. That brings us to the most hated man in college football — or at least in the state of Mississippi. There’s burning bridges, and then there’s what Lane Kif- fin did just did to Ole Miss. Becoming the first coach to abandon a team during a College Football Playoff run, Kiffin na- palmed his relationships at the school, proving both heartless and ruthless in equal proportions. The maelstrom that followed Kiffin from Oxford to Baton Rouge has made it difficult for oddsmakers and pundits to agree upon LSU’s ceiling. No team has a wider gap from best odds to worst in the national championship futures market (15/1 to 25/1). An analyst might call that kind of dis- parity “noise.” I call it an opportunity. Recommendation: LSU to win the na- tional championship (25/1, FanDuel) The Portal King landed the top transfer class by a country mile. As reported by Brett Ciancia, LSU reeled in 29 percent more blue-chip recruits than the second- best class this cycle. And this historic class starts with the three most impor- tant positions in the sport: quarterback, offensive tackle and edge rusher. They secured the top recruit at all three spots. Sam Leavitt considered offers from Kentucky, Miami (Fla.) and Tennessee before signing with the Tigers. When healthy, Leavitt is a perfect fit for Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr.’s offensive system. Assuming he returns from Lisfranc sur- gery at 100 percent, Leavitt has the ath- leticism to create off-script and the expe- rience as a high-end starter to consist- ently make the right choices while oper- ating within an RPO-heavy scheme. At Arizona State, he led the Sun Devils to the CFP, leaning on Cam Skattebo and Jordan Tyson along the way. This season, he has the top running back in the class of 2025 (Harlem Barry) to defer to in the read game and an embarrassment of riches in the pass catching department.
Kiffin nabbed complementary pieces in the portal like the shifty All-Big 12 Jayce Brown and the big-bodied Jackson Harris from Hawaii, just to name a few. And the biggest mismatch in the entire SEC, 6-foot-7 tight end Trey’Dez Green, is in line for a massive target upgrade over last season’s modest total. Blocking for Leavitt will be preseason All-SEC left tackle Jordan Seaton, Mary- land import Aliou Bah (24 starts, no sacks allowed) at right guard, and a two- deep littered with talent and previous starting experience. All the pieces are in place for this offense to hit the ground running. Defensively, there are game breakers at all three levels and an elite playcaller pulling the strings. Kiffin’s offseason re- cruiting coups extended to his coaching staff and none was more important than the retention of Blake Baker. He’ll have Princewill Umanmielen wreaking havoc on the edge, Whit Weeks and Davhon Keys cleaning things up at linebacker, and DJ Pickett and PJ Woodland ready to take on the DBU mantle this fall. Just like the offense, the defense’s talent is unde- niable. From a personnel perspective, there are no appreciable weaknesses in this unit, but they will need to improve in the red zone (92nd in TD percentage) and HAVOC (72nd). According to ESPN’s strength of sched- ule metric, LSU is staring down the bar- rel of a gun, with the 11th-most difficult slate awaiting the Tigers. But the good news is that their slate breaks up neatly into three stanzas. They host Clemson in the opener, before back-to-back show- downs with Ole Miss and Texas A&M in late September. Then they’ll likely be fa- vored by double digits in three straight games. November brings three straight against Alabama, Texas and Tennessee. But even with five to six ranked oppo- nents on the docket, LSU is projected to be favored in 11 games. This price is too good to pass up for a team that will be granted not one but two mulligans. At 10-2, with a powerful Kiffin offense clicking in December, 25/1 to win it all will feel like an early Christmas present in your stocking.

COOKING ON HOME COURT: Jonquel Jones (right) hugs Sabrina Ionescu after the Liberty defeated the Storm on Monday. It was their first home game in almost two weeks and they didn’t trail during the game for the first time since May 29. Heather Khalifa

Across three underwhelming and inconsistent months of play, the Liberty have provided countless reasons to be skepti- cal of their postseason chances. In the aftermath of a quiet trade deadline, general manager Jo- nathan Kolb’s reluctance to im- prove a win-now roster could be considered indefensible. But the 2024 WNBA champi- ons— and preseason title favor- ites — believe they have every- thing they need. The Liberty’s three superstars (Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ion- escu, Jonquel Jones) set the tone in their first home game in nearly two weeks, scoring the team’s first 26 points. The bench offered much-needed support, swinging momentum with a late 15-0 run. And the Liberty left Barclays Center on Monday night with a 95-83 win over the Storm to claim their first dou- ble-digit win since July 3.
LIBERTY 95 STORM 83
After winning their previous four games by a total of eight points, the Liberty (18-13) didn’t trail in a game for the first time since May 29, allowing their fewest points since June 28. “I’m not too privy on all of the trade situations, but obviously we know we have enough here,” Stewart said before the win. “It’s one of those things where it’s like, ‘All right, this is it. Now let’s move forward. There’s nothing else. Let’s keep going.’ “This is it. This is our group.” Stewart led the team with 24 points, eight rebounds, six as- sists and two blocks. Ionescu had 18 points (7-for-10 shoot- ing), Jones added 20 points and seven rebounds and the bench combined for 21 points. The Liberty (18-13) host the Storm (6-26) again Wednesday, having won five of six games
since suffering through a sea- son-worst 2-8 stretch. “It felt great to be up the whole game,” Jones said. “It felt great to pull away. We haven’t had that. It’s been a tough sea- son. Yes, we have grown a lot from those close games, but it’s nice to have a game like this ev- ery so often.” A little more than a month removed from an 11-point loss in Seattle (sans Stewart), the Liberty didn’t take the league’s worst team lightly, opening a 17-point lead in the first quar- ter. “We want to come out punch- ing,” Stewart said. “We want to hit first and really be aggressive when we have the opportunity.” But Seattle stormed back, get- ting 25 points from rookie Flau’jae Johnson and 20 points off 15 Liberty turnovers. Late in the third quarter, the Liberty saw another double-digit lead trimmed to one possession be- fore four reserves joined Stew-
art to seize control and hold the Storm scoreless for more than four minutes. Han Xu had six points and a season-high seven rebounds, Marine Fauthoux had a season- high five assists, Marine Johan- nes hit two 3-pointers and Reb- ekah Gardner had six points and three rebounds. “During those timeouts in the third, it was like, ‘Stop playing around. There’s another level we can get to,’” Stewart said. “That was the bench for the most part. They gave us that spark and really got the crowd behind us.” The crowd sounded con- vinced — they have everything they need. “If we want to get to where we want to get to, it’s gonna take ev- erybody,” head coach Chris De- Marco said. “We love the players in our building and we have full confidence that we’re gonna be playing our best basketball when it matters most.”
still stuck on Liberty
The trade deadline has passed. Bet- nijah Laney-Hamilton remains in Brooklyn. But the emotional toll of living with so much uncertainty has left a mark on the Liberty’s second-longest-ten- ured player (since 2021). “It’s just a lot,” Laney-Hamilton told The Post before Monday’s win against the Storm. “I don’t have enough time to go through it right now, but defi- nitely a lot of ups and downs.” Another night on the bench didn’t improve the outlook of the despond- ent-sounding veteran. Laney-Hamilton — a former All-Star and starter on the 2024 title team, who missed all of last season with a knee injury — remains firmly on the out- side of first-year coach Chris De- Marco’s rotation, having now gone seven straight (healthy) games with- out seeing action. The 32-year-old, who hasn’t played since being ejected for throwing a shoe in the July 12 loss in Toronto, said she remains unsure of her role going forward. In recent weeks, DeMarco said he still had confidence in Laney-Hamil- ton, noting that she would get more opportunities to see the floor. But Monday, the coach sounded far less likely to give her an extended look anytime soon. “It’s gonna be game to game,” De- Marco said. “We’re gonna look at ev- erything.” Laney-Hamilton, who signed a one- year, $400,000 contract in April, began the season in a starting role, but en- tered Monday having appeared in just 17 of the team’s 30 games. She received her first DNP-CD on June 21, then an- other in the Commissioner’s Cup championship win over the Aces. Laney-Hamilton has played her few- est minutes (16.8) in eight years — two years after averaging more than 30 minutes per game for a title team. Her post-injury play hasn’t strengthened her case to be given more. The veteran is averaging 4.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists this season, while shooting 36.2 percent from the field (24.3 percent on 3-pointers). But she may still have a role to play. “She’s a great player and she’s had a really successful career in the WNBA,” Breanna Stewart said. “Knowing what she can give us on and off the court at all times is really im- portant and special. Even just the way she’s communicating at halftime and giving players options or ideas is re- ally important. For me, that’s advice that I want to hear.” hkussoy@nypost.com

as Schlittler chased early
By BRIAN LEWIS and DAN MARTIN
Cam Schlittler has been near-perfect on the road and poor at home. It’s a trend the Yankees and their ace are going to have to figure out and fix. The righty suffered through the second-short- est stint of his career, giv- ing up four earned runs in just three innings against the Cardinals. Schlittler’s usually immaculate con- trol abandoned him as he walked a season-high five. “I take pride in having control and limiting those walks. Don’t really have an excuse for it,” Schlittler said. “So it wasn’t my night, and I got to be better there.” Schlittler walked lead- off hitter JJ Wetherholt and served up a two-run shot to Alec Burleson. Then came José Fermin’s RBI double and Nathan Church’s RBI single. “I feel fine. [I] didn’t get in that rhythm,” Schlittler said. “I’ve just got to be better. Things have been a lot eas- ier on the road. I feel like I’ve been dominant on the road and haven’t been able to do that here. And it’s frus- trating. At some point, we’ve got to make an adjust- ment, and I’ve got to per- form in front of the fans.” It’s an odd trend heading in the wrong direction. While Schlittler has been great on the road — 8-2 with a 1.10 ERA — after Monday, he’s just 2-4 with a 4.32 ERA in 10 starts in The Bronx. “The bad ones I have are always here, and that’s frustrating. Things should be easier here playing in front of our fans,’’ Schlit- tler said. “Frustrating for them, too. They come here expecting good per- formances and not being able to deliver. I’ve got an- other opportunity Sunday and just got to be better.” Manager Aaron Boone added: “He just never got into a good rhythm. I felt like a lot — for him — non- competitive pitches where some easy takes for them.”
NOTES
➤As one top prospect is set to arrive in George Lombard Jr., a former No. 1 prospect is heading back to the minors, as Jasson Domínguez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Monday’s loss to make room for newly acquired Heliot Ramos. The Yankees chose to keep Spencer Jones on the major league roster. Jones has hit better than Domínguez of late and can play center field. Domínguez has strug- gled at the plate and on de- fense, where he’s limited to the corner outfield spots. ➤Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt are get- ting closer to rejoining the pitching staff after coming back from elbow injuries. Rodón pitched two in- nings of live batting prac- tice Monday at the Sta- dium and the left-hander said the session went well. The lefty may make a mi- nor league rehab appear- ance Saturday, according to Boone and GM Brian Cashman said Rodón (left elbow inflammation) could be back this month. Schmidt, coming back from last year’s Tommy John surgery, is scheduled to throw three innings of live BP Tuesday at the Stadium, with a minor league rehab assignment likely not far behind. Since there’s not enough time — or a need — for Schmidt to build up to be- ing a full starter, the Yan- kees are focused on getting him ready for a shorter role. Cashman said it was “possible,” but “unlikely” that rookie Carlos La- grange would recover from his shoulder injury in time to contribute this year. ➤To open up a spot for Luis García Jr., Max Schuemann was op- tioned to Triple-A Scran- ton/Wilkes-Barre.

and U.S. Soccer better hope he fulfills term V
hired new managers this summer, though nearly all of those came before the U.S. was eliminated from the World Cup. Pochettino was evasive at the start of U.S. camp when asked about reports he had met with Italian giant AC Milan, but it’s worth returning to something else he said during that roundta- ble, insisting that if he were to leave, he would never do so before his contract with the national team was up. “We commit with the national team, the U.S. men’s national team, un- til we finish the World Cup,” Pochettino said. “And we, in this nearly two years, we have so many dif- ferent approaches [from teams] and we always say, we finish the contract in July after the World Cup.” Whether there was ever a serious chance for Pochet- tino to go back on that, only he and his representatives know. The same goes for whether he would have re- jected a return had a better job opened after the World Cup. But he’s here now, and U.S. Soccer is again banking on its read of the situation over what most outsiders will believe. It better be right. esears@nypost.com Pact again being backed by hedge fund billionaire
IRTUALLy no one outside U.S. Soccer thought that Mauricio Po- chettino would stay as the men’s national team coach after the World Cup, so factor that into the wave of skepticism regarding his staying all four years of the next cycle. Four years is the length of the exten- sion that the federation announced Monday morning. If Pochettino stays for the duration, it will likely prove to be the right move for the national team, which — setting aside for a moment its spec- tacular Round of 16 flameout against Bel- gium — progressed both culturally and in its style of play under the Argentine’s leadership. The prospect of a full four-year cycle in which Pochettino can operate with more time and latitude than he had leading into this World Cup is more compelling than the other options at U.S. Soccer’s disposal. The U.S. won’t lack competitions, with the Nations League coming up, the Gold Cup next summer, a likely home Copa America in 2028 and World Cup qualifying after that. Pochettino, whose insistence on taking friendlies seriously has been a trademark of his tenure, is the right person to ensure not just players, but the fanbase the USMNT started to build this summer, understand the importance of it all, starting with the next international window in late September. Under him, the U.S. turned into an aggressive team that could take the game to its opponent, use its technical ability as a weapon and control the flow of the game. That is a formula to dominate CONCACAF, and though

Turns out, it wasn’t all just smoke when U.S. Soccer of- ficials talked about bringing back Mauricio Pochettino for another cycle. The U.S.’s embarrassing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Belgium that ended its World Cup didn’t change how anyone felt. The federation an- nounced Monday morning it is retaining Pochettino as its manager through the
there’s certainly a question of whether it can work against the best teams in the world, there’s no manager under which that question wouldn’t exist. Pochettino has the background to make you think he’s got a chance of solving that problem. The way U.S. Soccer CEO J.T. Batson has spoken about Pochettino suggest that he can help instill an identity throughout the program, not just the senior national team. Bringing him back is the right call only if he is as committed to every step of the cycle as he ex- pects his players to be. U.S. Soccer understood the situation better than everyone else in assess- ing the chances he’d be back to begin with. It needs to be right again that, at some point between now and 2030, Po- chettino won’t be back on a Premier League touchline in North London. If the decision-makers in Fayetteville, Ga., are wrong in that conviction, then so too will be the decision to bring Po- chettino back. Steve Cherundolo, the former LAFC coach hired to lead the U-23 squad that will compete at the LA Olympics in two years — a hiring pro- cess that happened with Pochettino’s involvement — would be the obvious candidate in such a scenario, and hav- ing him as a safety net helps. Still, given the importance of time on task in soc- cer, and how little time a national team coach gets with his team, even a rela- tively seamless coaching change is a major setback. Pochettino, who spent his career at the club level before taking the U.S. job, has been open in the past about his de- sire to return to the English Premier League. Eight Premier League teams
2030 World Cup — a deci- sion that had gained mo- mentum after it initially seemed the two sides would go in different directions following the sour end to the World Cup. Contract talks picked up in the past few weeks after the two sides initially con- versed prior to the World Cup. Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin is again provid- ing financial backing for Po- chettino’s salary, extending
the commitment he made to bring the former Tottenham and Chelsea manager aboard in 2024. Given the manner of the loss to Belgium, the decision to bring the 54-year-old Po- chettino back could be deemed controversial. Though he seemed to push all the right buttons until the Round of 16, his team didn’t show up ready to play in what was, without a doubt, the biggest game the USMNT has had in dec-
ades, if not ever. A full cycle that includes a likely Copa America — which the U.S. would play in 2028 should it host, as is presumed — as well as World Cup qualifying after it qualified automatically for this one will be a chance for Pochettino to grow the cul- tural seeds he planted over the past 18 months. “Working together with U.S. Soccer over the past two years, it has become clear to us that there is tre-
mendous potential to make the men’s national team program even stronger,” Po- chettino said in a statement. “We want to try to have a lasting impact on the sport in the country that has wel- comed us so warmly and for that impact to extend be- yond results on the field.” Most national team coaches only stay in charge for one cycle, and Pochet- tino had talked openly about wanting to go back to the club level, particularly in
England’s Premier League. Perhaps seeing the U.S. rally around the team stirred something in him, or per- haps he feels there is merely unfinished business. The state of the post- World Cup coaching carou- sel — the biggest jobs that were open two months ago were already filled, includ- ing AC Milan, which was linked with Pochettino in late May before hiring Ruben Amorim — likely was a factor as well.
winning fans on O-line

You can add Armand Membou to the expanding David Bailey fan club. The young offensive tackle has only had a few training camp practices opposite the Jets rookie, but the edge rusher has already left an im- pression on Membou.
“It’s been a pain, man,” he joked Monday after the first padded practice of camp. “He’s a great player. He’s just smooth, he’s quick, he’s got a natural ability to rush the passer. It’s been a good matchup going against him. “With his first step, he has the ability to threaten tackles with his speed off the edge, and once he does that, he can threaten you with that power.” Bailey was the second overall pick in April’s draft after registering 14.5 sacks at Texas Tech last season. The hope is he can help improve a pass rush that was 31st in the league a year ago with a paltry 26 sacks. ➤Rookie tight end Ken- yon Sadiq, coming off a her- nia operation in May, was given a day off Monday after taking part in the first three practices of training camp, coach Aaron Glenn said. … Glenn does not expect de- fensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat (hamstring), defen- sive end Joseph Ossai (un- disclosed) or cornerback D’Angelo Ponds (calf) to return to practice this week, but he doesn’t believe the trio will miss much more time. “We want to be very careful with all three of those guys,” he said. “Listen, we have a role for all three of them. … I don’t think they’ll be out too much longer, but we want to do the right thing and make sure we have those guys ready for the regular season.” ➤Monday marked the first padded practice of Jets camp. “I thought the competitive nature was right where we wanted it to be,” Glenn said. “I think our guys are really understanding exactly how we want to practice.”
— and Mitchell reunion possible
By ZACK BRAZILLER
As it turns out, St. John’s roster is not complete, and the Johnnies are in the market for a difference- maker to add to an already strong squad, according to sources. The new five-for-five NCAA eli- gibility rule that is being chal- lenged in court by last season’s seniors has created the potential for the Johnnies to land another impactful player. International high school recruit Gildas Gimenez was recently ruled academically ineligible, which opened up a spot on St. John’s roster, sources said. St. John’s has expressed interest in high-scoring Auburn wing Key- shawn Hall, and former Red Storm standout forward Dillon Mitchell is another option, according to sources. Mitchell was drafted in the second round (40th overall) by the Celtics but has yet to sign a contract with Boston. He is look-
ing for a guaranteed deal. If that doesn’t materialize, a return to school is possible. The 6-foot-7 Hall had a big year last season for Auburn, averaging 19.3 points and 7.1 rebounds while shooting 37.9 percent from 3-point range on 4.7 attempts. Mitchell, an athletic demon at 6-foot-8 and stalwart defender, was a big part of the Johnnies repeating as Big East regular-season and postseason champions. A key two-way con- tributor, he produced 8.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals. Mitchell was part of the Red Storm’s dynamic frontcourt that also featured Big East Player of the Year Zuby Ejiofor and Bryce Hop- kins. He excelled in a point-for- ward role, serving as a playmaker that made others around him bet- ter. Mitchell helped St. John’s reach the Sweet 16 for the first time in 27 years. St. John’s is high on Senegalese
forward Babacar Sane, but it would like to add another proven forward. Syracuse transfer Don- nie Freeman was lost for next sea- son after tearing his Achilles ten- don during offseason workouts. In June, the NCAA passed a new rule that allowed for five seasons of eligibility in five years. But it didn’t grandfather in the rule for last year’s seniors, as it did for jun- iors, sophomores and freshmen. Those players filed lawsuits for an extra year, and in most instan- ces, they have won. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney granted a class-wide preliminary injunction against the NCAA’s age-based eligibility rules. The NCAA is appealing that decision. Several players, including Hall, are plaintiffs in cases won in Ohio and Tennessee, which enable them to enter the portal by court order and gain a fifth year of eli- gibility. zbraziller@nypost.com

a Mission A
New York Post, Tuesday, August 4, 2026 nypost.com
ARON Glenn knew the moment Armand Membou walked out of his exit interview at the end of last season. That’s when the Jets head coach knew he was going to get an even bet- ter season in 2026 out of his 22-year- old, 6-foot-4, 332-pound right tackle than the one he delivered in his rookie season. “I just knew he was going to come back in the offseason program stone- faced and ready to go,’’ Glenn said Monday after the first full-padded Jets practice of training camp. “Com- ing back from this offseason program, he was on a mission. You could see it in his face. From the weight room to the field, everything was a business approach, and you can see that carry- ing into every practice. Doesn’t mat- ter if it’s a walk-through or not, he’s operating at a professional level right now.’’
The truth is, Membou was operat- ing at a professional level long before that exit interview with Glenn, the offseason or this training camp. His offensive line coach at Mis- souri, Brandon Jones, told me a story the day after Membou was drafted about stopping by the football office on a day off after the season was over and seeing him alone running the steps outside the Missouri football stadium. “What are you doing out here on an off-day?’’ Jones asked him. “I need to get back to it, Coach,’’ Membou told him. Asked Monday where that work ethic comes from, Membou gave a “shoutout to’’ his high school coach from Lee’s Summit in Missouri, Ja- mar Mozee, who’s now an assistant head coach at Nebraska. “He really molded me from a young age, instilled in me the mind- set of having that work ethic,’’ Mem- bou said. “To play at those high lev-

els, to get to the NFL, you can’t just do what everyone else is doing. You’ve got to take that extra step.’’ By phone Monday, Mozee told a story about Membou coming to him at the end of his sophomore season at Lee’s Summit to tell him he was go- ing to quit football. “Armand was on the tennis team, and he was not a great football player in those early years, freshman and sophomore years,’’ Mozee said. “He was still growing into his body. Usu- ally, when guys are [not on varsity] as sophomores or juniors, that means they’ll probably have a hard time ever playing on Friday nights unless something drastically changes.’’ Two things drastically changed — one attributed to Mozee, who talked Membou out of quitting football, and the other to genetics and time, as Membou grew into his large frame. “I remember he came by the
CAUGHT MY EYE
It was a strong day by the defense, which got the better of the offense. That included a Minkah Fitzpatrick interception of Smith on an overthrown pass over the middle. It was the Jets quarterback’s first interception of training camp. Safety Dane Belton was active, frequently getting into the backfield. INJURY REPORT

It was mainly because I wanted him around. He was a great kid and I thought the program would benefit him too. “So, he stayed and when he came back for junior year, his body totally, freakishly changed. He got bigger, started growing into his body. And the rest is history.’’ “Watching him his senior year, it was clear right out of the gate,’’ Mo- zee said. “This was not normal, how good he was, how strong he was, how much balance he had, the way he could put it all together, the way he’d handle other kids in high school. “He was just that much better than everybody else physically. He’d just dismantle everybody. It
The Jets made the wrong kind of history last year as the first team to go a full season with making an in- terception. They broke the previous low of two, set by the 49ers in 2018, an ig- nominious mark the secondary hopes to atone for this season. Brandon Stephens admittedly thinks about it frequently. “I tell myself that even in my sleep, man,” the No. 1 Jets cornerback said after practice Monday. “That’s defi- nitely something we have to do in order to win games. You have to take the ball away to give yourself an ad- vantage. That’s definitely the focus. How could it not be?” It was a poor year for the defense all around in Aaron Glenn’s first season as head coach. The Jets al- lowed the second-most points per game (29.6), fourth-most rushing yards (139.5) and eighth-most total yards (355.6). They also registered only four takeaways, a league low. Stephens didn’t want to dwell on it too much in the offseason, but it was hard to shake the memory of the secondary’s inability to take the ball away. “This is a new season to prove my- self, prove ourselves as a team, so we have to continue to work at it out there,” he said. Changes were made. Veterans De- Mario Davis (linebacker), Nahshon Wright (cornerback) and Minkah Fitzpatrick (safety) were brought in and Glenn will take over play-calling duties. “Schematically, I don’t know if I want to go too far into that, but I will say this: physical, violent, disruptive, and I say disruptive from a quarter- back, disrupt the skill players, and disrupt the pocket,” Glenn said when asked for the characteristics he wants to see on defense. “I’m looking for guys that can do that. So, I guess if you can sum it all up, men that are highly disruptive.” Fitzpatrick, who had an intercep-
our job, so we can go get the ball,” Thomas said. “Everybody has to do their job, and everything will take care of itself.” With that said, the Jets know this is something that has to get better, and they believe they have the pie- ces in place to significantly up their turnover totals. “It’s very important,” Thomas said. “As a secondary, you take the ball away, you give your offense more chances to go score, and for us to go win.” zbraziller@nypost.com

Azareye’h Thomas was ready to prove himself, ready to make the most of his opportunity, ready to show he should be a long- term starter. But disaster struck. Just as Thomas was getting the chance to compete for a starting cornerback spot due to Sauce Gardner’s depar- ture, he suffered a shoulder injury in Week 14 and was placed on injured reserve, ending his rookie season early. It was unfamiliar territory for Thomas, as it was the first serious injury he had suffered and first time he underwent surgery. “Who wouldn’t be frus-

Throw in rookie corner D’An- gelo Ponds, who had seven intercep- tions in three years at Indiana and James Madison, and there are new- comers who have a history of taking the ball away. “There’s only one way to work on interceptions and punching the ball out: It’s by doing it in practice,” Ste- phens said. “Whether that’s in indi- vidual drills or team periods, just al- ways being conscious of the ball,

It was differ- ent [because it was my first time requiring surgery].” “I’m a physical player. I’m not afraid to go down there and hit,” Thomas said. “I know I had the surgery and everything, but that ain’t stopping me. I actually feel like my shoulder is stronger than it’s ever been.” After an up-and-down rookie campaign, Thomas enters 2026 in a battle with veteran Nahshon Wright for a starting spot opposite Brandon Stephens. Rookie D’Angelo Ponds could also make a push to
start, but he’s likely suited for the slot, leaving the com- petition mainly between Thomas and Wright. The cornerback duel won’t be a cakewalk for Thomas considering Wright had five interceptions with the Bears last season. But Thomas, a third-round pick last year out of Florida State, is ready to prove himself again. “My mindset is taking it one step, one day at a time with my teammates,” Thomas said. “Continue to be a great teammate, show- ing up every day, that’s my mindset.” Thomas showed several flashes in 2025, recording at least one pass deflection in six straight games, tied with Darrelle Revis for the sec-
where it’s at.

While the Jets want to improve in that de- partment, they can’t get themselves out of position by doing so. “Of course that’s a big factor, but we’re not going out there not doing

But it was far from perfect, as his 55.1 Pro Football Focus grade ranked 87th among 114 qualified cornerbacks and his 55.5 coverage grade was 86th. Entering Year 2, Thomas said he’s emphasizing trust- ing himself more to make plays. “Really just trusting my eyes, trusting my study,” Thomas said. “I feel like last year I hesitated a lot on a lot of things. I feel like there were a lot of plays I left out there.”

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — If he really wants to set the mood for practice, the disc jockey stationed at the entrance to Giants training camp should consider adding 2008’s Billboard Hot 100 hit “Check Yes, Juliet” to the playlist. “Run baby run / Don’t ever look back / They’ll tear us apart / If you give them the chance.” Let the song’s chorus serve as a reminder that an offense under head coach John Har- baugh is usually driven by the physicality and production of its blockers and rushers, so predictably the run game was a focus Mon- day as players donned pads for the first time on a rain-soaked field. “We don’t see it as a lot of weight on our shoulders, we see it as opportunity,” said Ty-
rone Tracy Jr., who is coming off back-to- back seasons with more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage. “Opportunity to show ourselves, opportu- nity to really show the NFL who we are and what we can be. I think we can be a premier running back group.” Cam Skattebo had one of the few long runs for the Giants on a day when Harbaugh esti- mated that “the defense probably got the better of the offense up front,” especially with rookie linebacker Arvell Reese closing holes. That’s a good sign for a defense accustomed to finishing near the bottom of the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game — four straight years ranked No. 26 or worse — but not the start envisioned by an offense with four returning starters on the line and a new 300- pound Pro Bowl fullback (Patrick Ricard) to
lead the way for five returning running backs. At least the top three of Tracy, Skattebo and Singletary, as well as Ricard, seemed to wel- come contact and held the ball tight as arms reached in for the strip. “With the type of offense we’re going to run this year, that’s going to be a huge quality that will help us in the long run,” right tackle Jer- maine Eluemunor said. “We’re not going to shy away from contact on any level — the offensive line, running backs, receivers. “We’re going to be a team that wears you out, and by the fourth quarter you probably don’t want to be in the game because we’re just go- ing to keep going and keep going and keep go- ing, taking those body shots. And then, when the fourth quarter comes, go for that knockout punch. That’s the type of team that we want to be, the team that Harbs is preaching.”
Harbaugh doesn’t have an equivalent proven workhorse of three-time Pro Bowler Ray Rice or future Hall of Famer Derrick Henry, but his Ravens still ranked No. 1 in the NFL in rushing attempts and No. 2 in yards with Gus Ed- wards as the leading rusher paired with quarterback Lamar Jackson. “In practice, we run the ball a lot,” Skattebo said. “I think what they say is what they’re going to do … and me and the guys in the room with me are go- ing to have a really good year.” The 2018 Ravens assistant head coach — Greg Roman — is the Giants run game coordinator now. “There’s really no gray area, and it’s not just one way to run the ball,”
Tracy said. “He’s calling the same run, but out of different formations, different motions, dif- ferent pullers. There’s a whole bunch of dif- ferent stuff going on, but he’s making it very simple and easy for us to learn.” The offense Monday was beset by pre- snap penalties, but the Giants’ run-game installation didn’t begin on the first day in pads — as is the case with some teams. The identity was on display last week — before wrap-and-release tackling was allowed. “I think in prior years, obviously, you don’t want to practice the run without full pads on,” Eluemunor said. “But this year, I think that we really opened up some of the run game. “And you can’t wait until
the pads come on to really dig into that. You can work on your footwork, your technique, making sure your head is in the right place. Then you just focus on the big things like shedding the block, hitting, moving through- out the line of scrimmage. So, I think that the practice we put in is going to help us in the long run.” The running-into-walls Skattebo joked that he is trying to create a “meaner” version of Tracy. “As a running back, we want to be more physical, we want to be more aggressive,” Tracy said. “And that’s really our motto, that’s really one of our pillars going into this year. [Monday] was a good evaluation of where we’re at. [Tuesday] we’re going to take a step in the right direction.” rdunleavy@nypost.com

CLEVELAND — The Mets may have saved their best two additions at this trade deadline for last. Jefferson Rojas and Sammy Stafura are those names to watch. Both infielders arrived to the Mets on Monday in separate deals just hours before the 6 p.m. deadline. Rojas, the No. 2 Cubs prospect, was ac- quired in a deal that sent Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor to Chicago. The Mets landed Stafura, the No. 9 Pirates prospect, in a trade for Luke Weaver. Rojas, 21, plays third base and shortstop. In 91 games this season in Double-A, he owns an .800 OPS with 15 homers and 17 stolen bases. He becomes the No. 1 Mets prospect, accord- ing to MLB Pipeline.
JeffeRSon RoJaS Sammy StafuRa
“A very well-rounded offensive profile,” president of baseball operations David Stearns said. “He’s young for his level and has really done exactly what you would want to see a player do who was a really well thought of amateur on the international market and has really just performed and progressed
A
throughout his development.” Stafura, 21, hails from Cortlandt Manor in Westchester County, where he attended Wal- ter Panas High School — and grew up root- ing for the Mets. He was a second-round pick by the Reds in 2023 before he was sent to the Pirates in a deal for Ke’Bryan Hayes at last year’s trade deadline. In 60 games this season over two Class-A lev- els, Stafura owns a .960 OPS with 20 homers. “The first thing that jumps off the page with you on Stafura is the defense,” Stearns said. “He’s got tremendous defensive ability. He’s a very good base runner and can impact the game in a variety of different ways.” Stearns noted that Stafura hit 14 homers over the last month. “We have seen some bat-speed upticks,” Stearns said. “Clearly, we have seen some exit
velocity upticks that have allowed him to get there. This is a player who has real power, who can hit the ball out of the ballpark. When you have that combination, whether it’s dou- bles power, home run power, plus someone who can play at a high level at shortstop those aren’t easy players to find.” Stearns was asked whether the Mets priori- tized packing two players for a top prospect, was the case in the Rojas deal. “Those are the type of deals that we ex- plored throughout the past week,” Stearns said. “We had a lot of interest in a number of our players and so when you have that and you have the same team with interest in mul- tiple players it does give you the ability to package or be creative. We explored a num- ber of those concepts and the Rojas deal was the one that actually came to fruition.”
for deadline activity
lot happened on deadline day, but nothing to knock the perennially su- perb Dodgers off the top spot of our annual winners list. And if form holds, that’s the way this season and World Series may play out too. The Dodgers do a brilliant job of drafting and developing, and some say they also do an equally terrific job of marketing their prospects, which might be the secret sauce in their stellar trading record. Their deal for superstar starter Tarik Skubal solidified their reputation as baseball’s best organiza- tion a couple days before the deadline. Here are all our winners and losers: Winners 1. Dodgers. The acquisition of Skubal gives them arguably baseball’s two best pitchers (with Yoshinobu Yamamoto) and one of the best and deepest rotations of all time. They also enhanced their chances to keep Skubal long-term. It’s normally all about the money, but the Dodgers have a way of convincing baseball’s best players to play there for less too. 2. Padres. GM A.J. Preller always seems to find a way. Even though they have a mostly barren farm system, he figured out how to land two frontline starters, Robbie Ray and Casey Mize, who are very much needed since they are a bottom five team for starter ERA. They didn’t get the lefty bat they sought and have to hope the co-stars Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. keep showing improvement off their ultra-slow starts. 3. Cubs. They did ex- actly what they needed to, adding two fine starters (Clay Holmes, Kevin Gausman) and a big bullpen arm (Ryan Zeferjahn). Plus, Tyrone Taylor, who came with Holmes, brings a hot bat and nifty glove, and lefty Braxton Garrett is a very underrated arm. 4. Orioles. Sellers don’t usually make my winners list. But that haul for All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman was so over- whelming that I can’t resist. Everyone es- pecially loves young right-hander Anthony Eyanson, who came with four others. 5. Guardians. Foster Griffin, who’s estab- lishing himself as a solid left-hander, is a nice get to round out a fine rotation and give them a chance in a weak division. There might also be better in store for Jo Adell, once one of the top prospects in the game. 6. White Sox. It’s nice to see the White Sox buying after three straight 100-loss sea- sons, and Luis Castillo, Huascar Brazobán, Brenton Doyle and Joey Bart fit their needs. 7. Pirates. Luke Weaver was the best re- liever traded, plus they added two more bullpen pieces, Luke Bachar and Kirby Ya- tes. This was an excellent job of fulfilling needs despite one of the weakest bullpen markets ever. 8. Mariners. They needed a bat, and Taylor Ward works. He hasn’t shown the sort of power as last year when he hit 36 home runs, but he’s become an on-base machine.

As far as Yankees prospects go, George Lombard Jr. was about as untouchable as they come as the trade deadline passed Monday. That is because on Tuesday, he is being summoned for his big league debut in The Bronx. The Yankees are calling up Lombard, a source confirmed to The Post on Monday night, to see if the 21-year-old that they hope is their shortstop of the future can deliver a spark in the present. The club announced it was op- tioning Anthony Volpe to Tri- ple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, clearing the way for Lombard’s arrival as it begins the post-dead- line sprint 3 ¹/₂ games back of the Rays for first place in the AL East. Lombard, who returned from multiple sprained fingers in mid- July, has been tearing it up at Tri- ple-A, batting .268 with an .845 OPS across 56 games — includ- ing .377 with a 1.081 OPS in 14 games since coming off the in- jured list. The Yankees were asked plenty about Lombard leading up to the deadline, when they acquired lefty slugger Luis García Jr. and

The league played a game of musical catchers chairs Monday, and when it stopped, the Yankees got left out. The trade deadline came and went without the Yan- kees addressing their biggest positional need from an of- fensive standpoint — plus not adding a reliever for the first time since 2019 — mak- ing for an underwhelming fi- nal haul of first baseman/ DH Luis García Jr. on Sunday and outfielder Heliot Ramos on Monday. While García may have been the best bat dealt at the deadline — and an impor- tant addition for a scuffling lineup, despite not being a perfect positional fit — the Yankees were not able to land a catcher like their two biggest foes in the AL East or upgrade the bullpen, instead
righty-hitting outfielder Heliot Ramos for lesser prospects but hung on to Lombard so they could deploy him themselves be- ginning Tuesday. “I think he’s had an outstanding year,” manager Aaron Boone said Sunday. “I think he’s gotten bet- ter. I think he continues to show a ton of progress. We love the kid and the makeup. It’s been fun to see him — any of your minor league players or prospects, you want to see them develop and get better. In George’s case, obvi- ously a high-profile one, that’s continued to happen. It’s a testa- ment to his work ethic and his talent.” Since he arrived in the Yankees organization — as their first- round pick out of high school three years ago — the son of former big leaguer and current Tigers bench coach George Lom- bard has been hailed for his off- the-charts makeup and high
hoping that the two bats they acquired along with the in- jured stars they are banking on returning later in the sea- son will be enough to give them a legitimate chance to chase a 28th championship in October. “As we move forward in this, we do think we have the players … that can compete for a championship,” Cash- man said Monday night, shortly after the deadline passed. “The effort we put forth was trying to find ways to upgrade it if we can in this marketplace and we’re happy we were able to bring in Ra- mos and García to solve
baseball IQ. That, along with his high-level defense and offensive upside, allowed him to race through the minor leagues and should help him as he jumps into a playoff race with less than two months to go in the regular sea- son. GM Brian Cashman said in early July that Lombard was “plug and play ready to go” de- fensively, which should provide a solid floor for his introduction to the big leagues. It remains to be seen what the Yankees get out of him offensively — he has typi- cally taken at least a few weeks to adjust to new levels — though he demonstrated a high on-base ability and some emerging power throughout his time in the mi- nors, and now will have a runway to settle in before October ar- rives. After the deadline passed Mon- day, Cashman indicated that the Yankees had explored adding a
some of the problems. We’re looking forward now to get- ting the other guys back from the IL over time to for- tify and finish us off for a su- percharge.” To make matters worse for the Yankees — who fell 3 ¹/₂ games back of the Rays for the division and best record in the American League with Monday’s ugly 13-7 loss to the Cardi- nals — the two teams they are sandwiched be- tween in the AL East both ac- quired catchers. The Red Sox landed Adley Rutschman from the Orioles and the Rays added Liam Hicks from the
shortstop or infield help but did not ultimately see a match — at a deadline when no major league shortstops got traded. A large part of that had to do with Lombard looming. “I don’t think there were a lot of opportunities that existed that were upgrades for us,” Cashman said. “We like the players we have and we like the players we have on the come. … It was going to be a high bar.” When describing his negotia- tions with the Tigers on Tarik Skubal, who ultimately went to the Dodgers, Cashman hinted that they may have asked for (and refused to move off) Lom- bard, a price he was unwilling to pay. The Yankees began the season with José Caballero as their start- ing shortstop while Volpe fin- ished off his rehab from offsea- son shoulder surgery. By the time
Marlins. The Yankees made a push for the switch-hit- ting Rutschman, who is on the IL with a wrist issue, but were “unable to meet the price,” Cashman ac- knowledged, as the Red Sox got him instead for a hefty five-player package. “Ultimately, at the end of the day, there was no oppor- tunity that existed for us that we felt good enough about to be able to push through on,” Cashman said. Two of the best offensive catchers in the game, the Rockies’ Hunter Goodman and the Twins’ Ryan Jeffers, did not get traded. Regarding the bullpen, Cashman pointed to the lack of high-impact relievers that actually moved (i.e., the Pa- dres hung on to both Mason Miller and Adrian Morejon) and the fact that the Yankees could eventually have inter- nal additions in Clarke
Schmidt (finishing off his Tommy John rehab) and Will Warren or Ryan Weathers (if the rotation stays healthy by the time Carlos Rodón re- turns later this month). As for Tarik Skubal, Cash- man said he spoke with the Tigers but was unable to get them off of the “very specific ask and a certain player we weren’t willing to play with in that arena” — likely top prospect George Lombard Jr., whom the Yankees are calling up to make his MLB debut on Tuesday. Of course, the Yankees al- ready have the makings of a powerhouse rotation and instead approached the deadline knowing they needed help offensively, as they try to survive without Aaron Judge, Cody Bel- linger and Giancarlo Stan- ton, likely until September. Cashman reiterated that their expectation is to get
Volpe was ready to return, Caballero was playing at a high level, so the Yankees op- tioned Volpe to Triple-A until Caballero suffered a small fracture in his finger. That provided a lifeline for Volpe to get called back up, but neither he nor Caballero put a stranglehold on the posi- tion, opening the door for Lom- bard to get his shot. Now, the Yankees will get to see what he makes of it. gjoyce@nypost.com
Judge back this season from a right rib stress fracture, but that is no sure thing. Without Judge, the Yan- kees lineup has been a shell of itself. So they acquired García, the lefty slugger who led the National League in slugging percentage, from the Nation- als on Sunday and Ramos, the righty-hitting outfielder who helps against lefties, on Monday from the Giants in exchange for pitching pros- pect Henry Lalane and in- fielder Kaeden Kent. “Ultimately, we got some of the best slug on both of these guys against opposite hands in the game as addi- tions to our offensive lineup,” Cashman said. “So I think Aaron Boone has a chance to match up better than he did as of [Sunday] when we get both of these guys here on property.”
should have gotten help T
HE magic trick by Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees was never making a righty-hitting catcher or late-game reliever appear. That would have seemed impossible to believe all the way up to the actual trade deadline considering the overt needs and the general history of Brian Cashman addressing shortcomings this time of year. But 6 p.m. Monday arrived without bringing Hunter Goodman, Ryan Jeffers, Adley Rutschman, Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon or Luke Weaver. Heck, it didn’t bring Tyler Stephenson and Rico Garcia. The Yankees are held to such a high standard that acquiring the National League leader in slugging percentage (Luis García Jr.) plus Heliot Ramos felt like eating a single peanut after a fast. But with so much on the table, Brian Cashman placed a bet on the 2026 Yankees — the team already assem- bled. He is gambling that especially Aaron Judge, but also Cody Bellinger and Gian- carlo Stanton will return in the coming weeks to revive an of- fense that has looked for six weeks like something that Al- varo Espinoza dragged in. Cashman is risking perhaps a whole season that Carlos Ro- dón will return to the rotation and displace either Will Warren or Ryan Weathers into the bullpen, where they ultimately will be joined by Clarke Schmidt and perhaps Luis Gil. George Lombard Jr., who Cashman protected at this deadline with a ferocity the Giants and Jets can only dream their offensive lines can muster in front of Jaxson Dart and Geno Smith, is being promoted Tuesday with the Yanks envisioning his defense and athleticism will energize them. But that is hoping a lot of injured players heal quickly — and that no more get hurt to join them. It is believing that a slew of starters can seamlessly handle the role change to reliever. And it is dream- ing on a prospect who was allowed to legally drink for the first time June 2. There is enough talent with a healthy Judge and the rotation at full strength for these Yankees to rise to the top of the AL East and ultimately the best of the AL. But more reinforcements were needed to make that statement with greater confi- dence — and those never came. A moment for perspective: In 2007, the Yankees had an inept setup group trying to get the ball to Mariano Rivera. At the deadline, the Yankees and Red Sox battled for Eric Gagné, an elite closer for Texas, to be their eighth-inning man (for Boston in front of Jonathan Papelbon). Cashman refused to include Melky Cabrera or Ian Kennedy. Boston was willing to include an elite prospect named Engel Beltré to land Gagné. Soon after the deadline, I said to a Yan- kees official some form of “Congratula- tions for giving a championship to the Red Sox.” I was right as Boston won the title. But it was in spite of Gagné, who
was terrible, which enabled the Yankees to almost make up what was a seven-game AL East deficit at the deadline. So keep in mind that perception of win- ners at the deadline often varies from re- ality. Still, how do you not notice that the Yankees needed a catcher and the team in front of them in the AL East (Rays, Liam Hicks) and the team coming fast behind them (Red Sox, Adley Rutschman) added catchers? The Yanks and the Red Sox were the fi- nalists for Baltimore’s Rutschman. Boston was willing to move an eye-opening pros- pect haul to land the switch-hitting catcher, who has a wrist injury and is due back in about two weeks. Cash- man, as is his wont this time of year, refused to part with his best pros- pects to complete a trade. Austin Wells has been having better at-bats since just before the All-Star break. That is encouraging. Having a better safety net than Ali Sánchez would have been even more so. The relief market never formed as hoped and so there were no outside addi- tions at a time when Aaron Boone’s circle of trust of David Bednar, Paul Blackburn, Fernando Cruz and Brett Headrick has been heavily used and under constant du- ress because the lineup cannot create any margin for error. The Yanks have to hope that García, who beats up righties, and Ramos, who does well against lefties but struggles de- fensively can provide enough to help the lineup survive and advance until that un- certain date when (if?) Judge, Bellinger and Stanton return. One of the reasons the Yankees did not do more is that lots of go-for-it trades in the last few years had thinned organiza- tional depth. But Cashman in 2018 called the Yankees “a fully operational Death Star.” And that is not true because what that looks like is the current Dodgers, who outdo the Yankees in willingness to spend, row upon row of prospects and a willing- ness to use both to secure the elite players they desire. The Dodgers did not need Tarik Skubal, but they had so many prospects and so much money ly- ing around and a hunger to be- come the first three-peat champs since the 1998-2000 Yankees that they couldn’t resist. The Yankees at this dead- line failed to even shoot par. They got two platoon-y bats when a righty-hit- ting catcher and more pitching depth also felt vital. This was not the behavior of a Death Star. joel.sherman @nypost.com

‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+’ special
M
eeska, Mooska, Megan Hilty! The Tony-nominated actress recently lent her voice to the latest “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+” special, “Mickey’s Country Farm.” The new special sees Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, and Mickey set out to build the Fairest Farm Fair Ever in hopes of drawing the attention of Daisy’s cowgirl idol, Lasso Lucy, voiced by Hilty. As Hilty recalled to DECIDER while visiting our studio this week, re- cording the role proved to be “a little more over- whelming” than she ini- tially thought it was going to be. “I don’t know what I expected, but when I went in to record my vocals, I put on my headphones and everybody else had already re- corded their parts. So all of my he- roes, like Mickey and Minnie and Daisy, were all in my ears,” she ex- plained. “I started crying immedi- ately because I’ve loved them my entire life and this specific show I raised my kids on. So to be a part of that is something so very special that’s very, very unique to Disney and ‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+,’ specifically.”
After Hilty’s Lasso Lucy arrives at Mickey’s Farm in style — specifi- cally, atop her purple polka-dotted bull — and declares the gang’s farm fair to be the fairest of them all, she leads them in performing a new version of the “Hoedown Throw- down,” the song and dance popu- larized by Miley Cyrus in 2009’s “Hannah Montana: The Movie.” While Hilty admitted that she was not familiar with the “Hoe- down Throwdown” before landing this gig, she did reveal herself to be a “huge” fan of Cyrus. “So now I am very, very aware of the ‘Hoe- down Throwdown’ and how fa- mous it is. And so basi- cally, me and Miley are like the same,” she teased. “Now that we’ve done the same song? Yeah.” DECIDER: As a mom of two kids, will you be showing them this special? MEGAN HILTY: Oh, these kids will not be able to escape this spe- cial. But they’re not gonna fight me on it. They love cartoons. And from a very early age, I mean, they were raised on “Mickey Mouse Club- house” and all things Disney Jr. I’ve done so many voices on Disney Jr., and they were very aware of that from a very early age. So even when they were really young, they
would try to pick me out of all the characters, and I would also play games with them, saying, “Okay, so who does this character sound like? Do they sound like anybody else from a different show?” So they’re very, very aware that there are hu- mans behind all of these animated
characters. That’s awesome. And your character, Lasso Lucy, gets to sing the “Hoedown Throw- down.” As a “Hannah Mon- tana” fan, this was just abso- lutely iconic for me. You just said many amazing

things in that sentence [laughs]. Uh-huh! Yes, sorry. Exactly. Were you familiar with the “Hoedown Throw- down” before getting this role? Okay, I’m embarrassed to say that I was not. But hear me out. I’m just a little bit older than the “Hannah Montana” demographic when it was so iconic when it came out. I was just a a little too old for that. But I am a huge Miley Cyrus fan, like, huge, huge, huge. So now I am very, very aware of the “Hoedown Throwdown” and how famous it is. And so basically, me and Miley are like the same. Now that we’ve done the same song? Yeah. Another one of your iconic roles is Ivy Lynn on “Smash.” Where do you see her now? Have you ever thought about where she might be now? I think about Ivy Lynn more than I should because it’s been a long time since I played her. But wouldn’t it be interesting to pick that show up now? Find out if she had her kid and how that played in her life of a theater actress in New York? You know, I think that would be very interesting. I think it would be interesting to do a spin-off... Yeah, I think it would be so inter- esting to pick up right now, now that we’ve jumped ahead, what, 15 years? Is it 15 years? I don’t know, it’s been a long time. She’d have a kid, like, my daughter’s age. Oh that’s wild. Yes, I do think about it. I was going to say, because ob- viously the show was then adapted into a musical on Broadway, do you see it in a movie form, another TV series? I just very clearly see it as like a “Smash” Part 2.

62 亿美元 十亿 和 49.9 亿美元 billion，将中文单位与英文原词重复叠加，属于严重的交付缺陷。only nine retirees... received more than $200,000 被翻译为 只有 9 人领取金额超过 $200,000, 且高于 $200。后半句“且高于 $200”为无意义的冗余幻觉。$570,000 对应正文 half-a-million-dollar，译文虽准确，但在 Page 5 中将 $570,419 的细节处理正确，但在 Page 4 的 summary 部分略有简化。Green wave of benefits 译为 福利绿色浪潮。在此语境下 "Green wave" 可能是特定的财务术语或比喻，直译导致语义不明。double-dipping 译为 双重领取福利（基本准确），但后文 benefit padding 译为 福利套利，虽意近但非标准金融术语。Shedding (在体育版块中) 翻译丢失或被误处理。教子队 $\rightarrow$ 显然是将 Padres (圣地亚哥教徒队) 误译为“教子队”。Nassau County 在同一段落中交替出现 纳索县 和 纳索郡，译名不统一。Kendeglys Virgu... 在源文即截断，但译文在此处停止，未标注截断。Learn more about what makes us #1 译文略显单薄。The Office, Bang, SpongeBob），虽然部分名称无需翻译，但 Bang Bang 等词汇处理不统一。37, 号区议会 的逗号位置错误。存在阻断性问题 (Blocking Issues Found)。
主要问题集中在：
1. 单位重复 (亿美元 十亿) $\rightarrow$ 影响专业度。
2. 体育术语误译 (教子队) $\rightarrow$ 影响正确性。
3. 法律文本冗余重复 $\rightarrow$ 影响文档完整性。
4. 电视指南版面崩溃 $\rightarrow$ 影响可用性。
