特朗普称已取消袭击 作者：MOHAMAD EL CHAMAA, LIOR SOROKA, AMY B WANG 及 SAMMY WESTFALL

总统唐纳德·特朗普周日表示，美国和伊朗正回归谈判。他表示：“明天下午开始。我们将拭目以待。”

特朗普称，应沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋和卡塔尔——以及伊朗——的要求，他取消了本周末计划中的袭击，而这些国家敦促他转而与德黑兰进行对话。

当特朗普从新泽西州的高尔夫俱乐部返回华盛顿，在空军一号上告诉记者：“他们认为可以达成协议。关于霍尔木兹海峡有协议，然后关于核问题，或者你可以称之为伊朗去核化，也会有协议。”

伊朗官员周日表示，他们即将与阿曼达成一项协议，以重新开放通过霍尔木兹海峡的通道，这条狭窄的国际水域位于波斯湾。

特朗普的官员在最近几周表示，即使袭击仍在继续，他们也在幕后与德黑兰接触，但伊朗多次否认这一说法。区域调解人则表示，他们一直在传递双方的信息。

自美国和以色列在 2 月 28, 日袭击伊朗以来，特朗普一直陷入一场看不到尽头且不受欢迎的战争中。

新一轮谈判是结束敌对行动的最新努力，此前在 6 月中旬签署的一项停火协议和谅解备忘录已经崩溃。

至少有 18 名美国服役人员——

被驱逐，被拘留——然后迷失在

地震 记者：ARELIS R. HERNÁNDEZ 和 MARÍA LUISA PAÚL

胡安·卡洛斯·比列加斯·卡斯蒂略 (Juan Carlos Villegas Castillo) 曾花多年时间在委内瑞拉东海岸的加勒比海域撒网捕鱼。当大海无法提供足够的资源来养活他的五个孩子时，他穿越了达里恩峡谷，在芝加哥找到了建筑工作。他的家人说，他获得了临时在美国居住和工作的许可，并希望能返回委内瑞拉，盖一座房子并买一艘自己的船。

爱德华多·何塞·奥萨尔·穆希卡 (Eduardo José Osal Mujica) 从未想过将美国作为家园。但经济困境和日益增加的政治压力迫使这位前委内瑞拉警察不得不离开妻子和年幼的儿子。他跨越了九个国家、一片丛林和一条河流来寻找工作并寻求庇护，因为他知道，如果返回，他将被贴上叛徒的标签。

理查德·何塞·佩雷拉·阿梅斯蒂 (Richard José Pereira Amesty) 在与妻子和年幼的儿子一起徒步穿过中美洲和墨西哥后，获得了人道主义假释。他们定居在田纳西州，在等待庇护听证会时，联邦移民官员告诉他们，必须以家庭为单位自愿离开，否则将被拘留并拆散。

今年春天，这三个男人的计划都以一种突然且相似的方式化为泡影。作为唐纳德·特朗普政府大规模驱逐计划的一部分，联邦官员在他们与移民当局进行常规签到、交通拦截或突击搜查期间将其拘留。6月24日，他们被戴上手铐，被安置在返回委内瑞拉的飞机上。

在整个南美国家，亲人们正准备迎接他们回家。有些人买了气球。有些人烹饪了他们最爱的美食。还有的人开车前往西蒙·玻利瓦尔国际机场，准备在驱逐人员落地时迎接他们。

但那天并没有团圆。相反，委内瑞拉官员将146名被驱逐者——包括19名女性和7名儿童——装上巴士，将他们送往圣华里奥-拉利亚纳达酒店 (Hotel Santuario La Llanada)，这是一个位于沿海州拉瓜伊拉 (La Guaira) 山坡上的隐秘政府设施。

几小时后，两次强震袭击了委内瑞拉，这次地震现在被列为该国历史上最致命的自然灾害之一。超过5,500人死亡，近17,000人受伤，联合国估计仍有50,000多人失踪。

移民被关押的那栋四层建筑坍塌成了一堆破碎的混凝土、扭曲的金属和尘埃。委内瑞拉政府和特朗普政府都没有公开发布完整的乘客名单。官员们也没有解释为什么被驱逐者会被玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 拘留——这家国家安全机构曾被指控侵犯人权——以及他们最终发生了什么。

福西面临巨大压力 记者：DAN DIAMOND

他的朋友们说，安东尼·福西不知道兰德·保罗 (Rand Paul) 拥有他的日记，更不用说那位共和党参议员打算将其公开了。因此在周六——在这位肯塔基州议员公开分享了福西多年来的私人反思（内容涵盖从抗击新冠肺炎到参加“ A-List”活动的所有事情）之后——福西去参加了另一场聚会。

在那场为前白宫办公厅主任罗恩·克莱恩 (Ron Klain) 举办的生日庆祝会上，福西与朋友和前拜登政府的同事们交谈。他们为他欢呼并祝酒，显然没有意识到他的批评者们正在仔细研读那些文件，而这些文件将开启他数十年职业生涯中最紧张的一周。

有几个小时的时间里，福西回到了一个

熟悉的华盛顿。随后，现实入侵了。他长期的批评者们现在掌控着国会委员会、他度过职业生涯的卫生机构，以及最终决定是否对他提起诉讼的司法部。在承诺要让安东尼·福西为政府的疫情应对负责多年后，他们正通过行使权力来尝试实现这一目标。过去的一周最清晰地揭示了这场清算可能的样子。上周一，卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪——安东尼·福西的长期敌手——吹嘘他的部门花费数月时间搜寻了 11 台政府服务器，以重新拼凑安东尼·福西的日记并将其交给保罗。周三，安东尼·福西在一次国会听证会上接受了保罗及其他共和党参议员长达数小时的质询，安东尼·福西及其盟友认为这次听证会旨在陷害他。他 invoking 第五修正案的权利拒绝作证超过 100 次。共和党议员敦促将这位 85 岁的医生关进监狱。详见 A16 页关于安东尼·福西的报道。

在故乡，居民们对杰克逊的看法分歧严重 作者：ALEXEI KOSEFF 缅因州阿拉加什 —— 最近的一个早晨，韦恩·麦克布雷尔蒂带着使命来到了这座城镇。他戴着一顶黑色的特洛伊·杰克逊缅因州棒球帽，手里拿着一张写着信息的笔记本纸：“祝贺特洛伊·杰克逊获得美国参议院选举提名。”麦克布雷尔蒂是缅因州民主党新安装的替代参议院提名人——杰克逊的长期支持者，他希望杰克逊小故乡的官员们能将这条信息添加到他们小型市政大楼外的电子显示屏上。“无论胜负，这是我政治生活中的高光时刻，我的一个朋友有可能成为美国参议员，”麦克布雷尔蒂说，情绪一度哽咽。

在她的办公室里，阿拉加什的镇长正在写支票。诺拉·比金并不喜欢杰克逊，她说杰克逊在二十年间步步高升，最终成为缅因州参议院议长，但对于帮助他们这个挣扎中的社区做得不够。三年前，当杰克逊竞选比金目前担任的职位且未能成功时，两人发生了冲突。她不能理解为什么该州最有权势的政治人物之一竟然想要这份工作。“在这个社区中，有些活动他从未参加过。在这个社区中，有些丧礼他从未出席，”比金说，“我们在社区里看不到特洛伊。”

麦克布雷尔蒂因为能向众人展示杰克逊的胜利而感到欣喜，他把纸条递给比金，想知道她是否愿意发布这条信息。她沉默地盯着纸条看了 10 秒钟，表情背叛了她的内心。 缅因州民主党参议院候选人宣传其乡村吸引力，反应不一。详见 A5 页关于缅因州的报道。

冒险之举，Chipotle 敢在墨西哥销售墨西哥食品 作者：TERRENCE MCCOY 墨西哥，圣佩德罗加萨加西亚 —— 哈维尔·加米兹永远不会忘记他第一次尝试 Chipotle 的经历——那是十年前，他在访问德克萨斯州的家人时。他渴望快餐的便捷，但讨厌快餐带来的感觉。直到他吃到了 Chipotle 的碗装餐。“这是快餐，”加米兹说，“但它是真正的食物。”

从那时起，加米兹每次访问美国都会直奔 Chipotle 的“墨西哥烤肉店”，成为了他所谓的“真正的 Chipotle 之人”。这个月，这份卷饼带来的好运临门。Chipotle 这一美国连锁店普及了“快休闲”（fast-casual）概念，在美国拥有 4,000 多家门店，现在启动了其最大胆的举措：在墨西哥销售其“墨西哥”食品。执行官们希望，第一批门店之后，总数可以达到 200 家。这家美国快休闲连锁店表示，它在边境以南也能取得成功。

为白宫提名候选人提供支持。在关键问题上经常会出现分歧：美国民主社会党（DSA）应该在民主党内部活动，还是与其决裂？他们应该仅支持最坚定的社会主义者，还是也支持那些有时可能会偏离其纲领的人？在亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯的案例以及 2028 年民主党初选中，潜在的背书将是一次测试，旨在衡量将该组织的理念推向国家舞台的灵活性如何。奥卡西奥-科尔特斯未出席芝加哥峰会，但她在 2018 年首次竞选国会议员获胜后，成为了美国民主社会党首批两名当选联邦公职人员的成员之一。但由于她未能遵守该组织在加沙战争问题上的底线，美国民主社会党全国组织在两年前撤回了对其的支持。她还公开拒绝支持废除参议院——这是美国民主社会党的一个极其大胆的目标，她更倾向于采取如结束议事阻碍（filibuster）等更具针对性的举措。

路易斯是美国民主社会党内部马克思列宁主义“红星”党团的成员，该党团已否决了奥卡西奥-科尔特斯，他表示预计她会参选。他指出，她在美国民主社会党的纽约分会中非常活跃，并且在一些巴以问题上再次发生了立场转变。但他之前的分会曾在 2020 年因类似的背书问题而分裂，他警告不要进行那种可能会在美国民主社会党基层中毫无反响的“纸面背书”。“这必须是人们能够深信不疑的事情，”他说，“而且必须是人们深切信任能够完成此举的人。”

在芝加哥酒店会议中心的走廊里，一家独立书店出售关于大规模监禁、巴勒斯坦诗歌和人为制造冲突理论的书籍。各分会设立的展台上提供印有“融化美国移民与海关执法局 (ICE)”字样的 T 恤和“停止武装以色列”的贴纸。类似的口号也出现在美国民主社会党成员的身上。有些人戴着绿色的“Groundwork”帽子，这是美国民主社会党内部一个主张在民主党内开展工作的环保团体。另一些人则拥有咖啡杯纹身，以表明他们对马克思主义统一小组（简称 MUG）的忠诚。

在周五上午的一场研讨会上，挤满了人的会场被指示分成小组，讨论一个议题：有什么事情是他们之前认为不可能实现，但现在觉得可以达成的。在后角，来自纽约州、加利福尼亚州和肯塔基州的三个人轮流自我介绍——每个人的名牌上（有些人自称为“同志”）仅列出了名字和姓氏的首字母，没有更多信息。来自纽约州的女性在回答该议题时提到了奥卡西奥-科尔特斯。（除当选公职人员或国家政治委员会成员外，美国民主社会党成员被指示在会议期间不要与记者交谈，且该成员出于隐私原因拒绝透露姓氏。）“我们都认识亚历山德里娅。这些年来我们一直与她一起组织活动，”她说，“这是 10 年来我第一次觉得她真正有机会竞选总统。”

与此次峰会的许多其他美国民主社会党成员一样，奥卡西奥-科尔特斯曾在伯尼·桑德斯的总统竞选活动中工作。当然，当时的这位未来纽约州国会议员距离进入国会还早有数年，距离达到竞选白宫的最低年龄要求也还有近十年。如果说美国民主社会党此前是某些在政治上感到沮丧的千禧一代的避风港，那么它现在已经成长为远超于此的组织。过去几年的系列激励事件——特朗普的连任、加沙战争、马姆达尼的胜利——使得美国民主社会党的规模迅速膨胀，在全国拥有 140 多个分会。有些活动已并入每个分会的社交活动中。另一些则……

被当地的诉求或竞选活动所吸引。能够让所有这些人投入工作——通过挨家挨户敲门和电话联系选民——正是使美国民主社会党（DSA）在某些城市成为一种选举力量的原因。领导 DSA 国家选举战略的 Sims 表示，各分会会在决定背书某位候选人（或有时是招募他们）之前，仔细评估自己是否具备助力该候选人的能力。只有那些获得当地分会背书的候选人，随后才可能提交给国家领导层以寻求可能的背书。Sims 表示，为了击败资金更充足的竞选活动，“我们必须言出必行”。尽管如此，关于如何将这一选举战略具体付诸实践的争论在近年来一直困扰着 DSA。一些较为坚定的马克思主义派系对于那些并不总是谈论社会主义身份或未完全遵守该组织纲领所有部分的候选人持更强硬的态度。而其他党团，如主导纽约分会的 Groundwork 和 Socialist Majority 党团，可能更愿意为这类 DSA 成员投入资源。像密歇根州的 Will Lawrence 和 Abdul El-Sayed 这样的国会候选人则带来了额外的挑战，他们没有正式采用 DSA 的标签或获得该组织的支持——这可能是刻意为之——但他们支持的政纲与民主社会主义者的政纲相似。一次总统候选人的背书将放大这场争论，并波及每一个 DSA 分会。DSA 在 2020 年对桑德斯的背书是在激烈的内部讨论之后做出的，不过参与成员最终予以批准。“每个人都清楚，我们现在作为 DSA 所做的一切，要么是在为我们铺路，要么是在阻碍我们成为 2028 年选举中严肃的政治参与者，”洛杉矶精神科医生兼国家政治委员会（NPC）成员 Frances Gill 说道。

峰会参与者计划在周末晚些时候就是否以及如何进行背书举行闭门讨论。在纽约市的工会组织者、领导着 DSA 的“总统探索小组”的 Alex Pellitteri 将此举的潜在优势与 Mamdani 在家乡举行的全市竞选进行了对比。在竞选之前，DSA 的纽约分会——这是目前最大的分会，约占该组织成员总数的 1 in 8——基本上仅支持其在布鲁克林和皇后区最强支持基地的竞选活动。支持 Mamdani 市长竞选的部分理由是，为了将其强大的拉票行动扩展到城市中那些他们从未敲过门的地区。他说，支持一名总统候选人可以让该组织在全国范围内实现同样的目标。但关于这具体将如何运作仍存在疑问，且伴随有风险。有些人希望在背书之前，先为总统级别的 SIO（在职社会主义者）勾勒出一种“共同治理模式”。其他人则希望将背书与该组织的纲领相统一，该纲领被正式称为“国家计划”，主张用议会制取代总统制。此外还有一个现实是，亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯很可能选择不竞选白宫之职。在周五晚上于一家外部酒吧举行的“DSA 支持 AOC”活动中，一名同志走到 Sims 面前，问了每个人心中关注的第二个问题：是否还有其他他们想要鼓励的人选？Sims 停顿并思考了一秒钟。“嗯，”他们说，“没有。”“我们正处于‘总统之问’的时刻，”领导 DSA 国家选举战略的 Katie Sims 说道。“在此之前，我们只是在穿鞋，或者在系鞋带，”DSA 国家政治委员会成员 John Lewis 表示。

Graham在政治首秀中表示，她将推动特朗普的议程 作者：MEG KINNARD 美联社

南卡罗来纳州莱克星顿 —— 达琳·格雷厄姆（Darline Graham）周六在南卡罗来纳州数百名共和党选民面前完成了她的政治首秀。她表示，在她的哥哥林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）去世之前，她从未设想过自己的政治生活，而现在她希望努力推进该州以及总统唐纳德·特朗普的政策优先级。

格雷厄姆目前担任临时职务，以完成她哥哥的现任期。但作为寻求在8月11日举行的特别初选中取代他的九名共和党人之一，她在政治上相对默默无闻，面对的是该州一些最知名的共和党人。

周六，她承认自己没有在政治圈浸淫数十年，但她认为自己了解其兄长所熟知的联邦政策辩论在现实世界中的应用，例如预算编制和医疗保健成本。她重申，与她哥哥一样，她得到了特朗普的支持，后者敦促她参选并已为其背书。

“我确实从未预料到会站在这个舞台上发表这次竞选演说，”达琳·格雷厄姆在莱克星顿的活动人群面前说道。“我从未有过成为政治家的欲望。我今天来到这里，是因为我在响应总统特朗普的号召来服务。我想为南卡罗来纳州挺身而出，我想为总统特朗普的议程而战。”

就在三周前，在她的哥哥因主动脉撕裂突然去世后，格雷厄姆发现自己被推到了政治聚光灯下。鉴于特别选举的时间表非常紧凑，达琳·格雷厄姆现在仅剩一周多时间来向南卡罗来纳州的共和党选民证明，她是代表该州的最佳选择。

直到目前为止，该州选民主要通过她哥哥的出身故事了解她，包括他们艰苦的成长经历以及父母早逝的情况；以及在她哥哥的哀悼期内了解她，几天前在华盛顿和南卡罗来纳州为其举行了葬礼。

九名候选人周六全部出席了此次活动，每人在台上发言五分钟。前州长马克·桑福德（Mark Sanford）在今年早些时候尝试竞选国会失败后，再次寻求政治回归，他警告不要进行赤字支出和债务累积，这是他数十年政治主张的标志。

拉尔夫·诺曼（Ralph Norman）众议员在提醒与会者他在这场竞选中所获得的支持（包括佛罗里达州的里克·斯科特议员和犹他州的迈克·李议员）的同时，还强调了他对一项名为《拯救美国法案》（Save America Act）的投票法案的支持，该法案属于特朗普最高政策优先级之一。

两任众议员罗素·弗赖（Russell Fry）向选民讲述了他自己的卑微出身，称将他的家庭凝聚在一起的是“我们对上帝的信仰、勤奋工作以及蓝领的拼搏”。

演说结束后，数百名与会者排队领取Chick-fil-A的免费盒装午餐，并有机会在一次非正式的草根民调中为他们心仪的候选人投票——在这项调查中，达琳·格雷厄姆以微弱优势获胜，领先于弗赖和诺曼。

几位与会者表示，他们只是希望获得更多信息——以及更多时间——以便在初选中做出选择。查尔斯·布伦特内尔（Charles Brentnell）表示，他的前三名选择是诺曼、弗赖以及格雷厄姆；他表示在支持特朗普要求缩短计划中的休会期以通过立法（如上述投票法案）这一点上，他与格雷厄姆意见一致。

“让我们把参议院留在参议院，而不是花一个月时间……”

“，”布伦特内尔说道。在草根民调队列中等待时，加里·阿特金森表示他仍在权衡选择，他倾向于选择诺曼，但他很喜欢好几位候选人的发言。“他们都是强有力的候选人，”阿特金森说。他表示自己过去支持林赛·格雷厄姆，但在一些问题上持有不同意见，比如与伊朗的战争。“很难下定决心。”如果需要，将在8月25.举行决选。共和党的提名人将在大选中面对民主党人安妮·安德鲁斯。周六发言的其他候选人包括沃尔特博罗律师杜克·巴克纳、格林维尔商人马克·林奇、前默特尔海滩市长马克·麦克布莱德、退役空军军官格伦达·盖尔·帕克以及企业家萨姆·谢泼德。

南卡罗来纳州临时参议员在特别选举中面临激烈竞争

鉴于这次特别选举的时间表非常紧凑，达琳·格雷厄姆现在仅剩一周多时间来向南卡罗来纳州的共和党选民证明她是代表该州的最佳选择。

数州报告水系统遭受网络攻击 作者：AMY B WANG, ELLEN NAKASHIMA AND PRANSHU VERMA

联邦当局警告称，在美国至少有七个州报告上周发生了导致水务或废水运行中断的网络攻击后，关键基础设施系统可能面临风险。

根据联邦调查局（FBI）和环境保护局的联合警报，“恶意网络行为者”已远程篡改部分水系统的联网可编程逻辑控制器（PLCs），导致水压丧失和 flooding（淹没）。

这项于周四发布的警告是在美国情报官员表示，伊朗可能在明尼苏达州针对30多个市政水系统发起的协同网络攻击背后之后出台的。

专家多年来一直警告称，美国水业一直抵制监管努力，因此容易受到网络攻击。

情报机构尚未断定德黑兰应对明尼苏达州的干扰负责，但此次黑客攻击发生在联邦网络安全官员发出紧急警告之后，后者称数月来伊朗一直将目标对准美国水务、废水和能源设施中暴露在互联网上的控制设备。

7月，联邦网络安全部门专门警告称，伊朗黑客正在利用漏洞严重的PLCs。

唐纳德·特朗普总统将这次攻击归咎于明尼苏达州政府，而非伊朗。

FBI在周五未就其是否认为伊朗对此负责的置评请求做出回应，仅表示该机构及其他部门正“全力投入保护关键基础设施”。

《华盛顿邮报》周四报道称，自2月28.战争爆发后不久，全国多个水务和能源系统均出现了入侵迹象。

联邦当局尚未指明近期黑客攻击影响了哪些州。除明尼苏达州外，密歇根州和南达科他州也报告了攻击。

然而，专家表示，很可能还有更多州受到了影响。

鉴于被针对的 PLC 品牌——罗克韦尔自动化 / Allen-Bradley——被广泛使用。安全与技术研究所的公共安全与韧性专家约书亚·科尔曼（Joshua Corman）表示：“我们共用同一个互联网，且所有受害者使用的都是相同的设备。……理论上，你在全美 50 个州都应该能看到这些（漏洞）。”

据 WaterISAC（一个旨在加强安全的政府信息共享计划）分析师亚历克·戴维森（Alec Davison）称，迄今为止，网络攻击者采用了“低端战术”来入侵联网的 PLC，且这些设备通常凭据薄弱或根本没有凭据。他在一封电子邮件中表示，黑客随后修改了密码，从而将操作员锁定在系统外并断开控制器连接。戴维森写道：“这导致了煮沸水通知的发布，并迫使公用事业公司进入持续的手动操作状态。”

风险在于，篡改 PLC 的网络攻击者可能会更改系统的“逻辑”或软件，导致操作员无法检测到问题，例如化学品达到危险水平。国土安全部网络安全与基础设施安全局（CISA）在 7 月 22 日发布的一份公告中指出，联邦调查局（FBI）和 CISA 观察到伊朗黑客篡改了 PLC 的逻辑软件，“允许系统在不向操作员发出异常通知的情况下进入不安全状态”。

专门从事关键基础设施保护的网络安全公司 Dragos 的情报主管库尔特·高德特（Kurt Gaudette）表示：“操作员看到的显示界面正常。没有警报触发，而工艺流程可能在无人知晓的情况下进入不安全状态。”

专家们普遍认为，美国的供水基础设施在十多年来一直异常脆弱。在美国大约 151,000 家水厂中，约有三分之一全年为住宅社区提供服务。但只有大约 420 家水厂参与 WaterISAC，试图提高整个水务部门的网络安全水平。科尔曼说：“关注网络安全的比例还不到 0.5%。”“美国的供水系统极其易受攻击。我们一直是被猎物，只是之前没有胃口盯上水的捕食者，但现在这种情况结束了。”

另一个问题是，许多中小型公用事业公司使用第三方集成商或承包商来配置系统的安全设置，而这些承包商使用的是默认凭据和弱密码。更糟糕的是，水务行业一直抵制网络安全监管的努力。在拜登政府于 2023, 年尝试对水务公用事业实施网络安全审计后，一些水务行业团体和三个州（密苏里州、阿肯色州和爱荷华州）提起诉讼，导致美国环保署（EPA）撤回了其标准。

明尼苏达州布拉汉（Braham）市长内特·乔治（Nate George）在周六给《华盛顿邮报》的一份声明中表示，本周早些时候该市发生了一起黑客攻击，导致市水厂短暂离线，像他这样的城市需要更多资源来执行指令，以确保其公用事业系统和基础设施的安全。乔治是一名竞选明尼苏达州审计员的共和党人，他表示：“我实际上认为，这主要责任在那些要求地方政府对其公用事业系统或其他基础设施进行某些升级，但却未能提供资金来支付或维护这些升级的州政府。”

然而，水务部门面临的网络安全威胁正在不断扩大。周五，唐纳德·特朗普在戴维营与内阁官员开会时，对伊朗是……的说法不屑一顾。

参与了明尼苏达州袭击事件——并反过来指责其官员，而这正是他经常攻击的政治目标。“我将其归咎于明尼苏达州，因为他们极其无能，”特朗普在内阁会议上表示。“我会将其归咎于明尼苏达州和州长，那个腐败的明尼苏达州州长。伊朗有比担心明尼苏达州更严重的问题。”州长蒂姆·沃尔兹（民主党）则将矛头同时指向伊朗和特朗普。“特朗普非常清楚谁应对这次袭击负责，并且知道其他州也受到了攻击，”沃尔兹在X上写道。“这就是现代战争的样子，它进一步证明了目前没有赢得与伊朗战争的计划。”

在密歇根州的关键参议院选举中，El-Sayed 不打算采取温和态度 作者：ERIN COX 密歇根州安娜堡 —— 暗指参议院候选人 Abdul El-Sayed 是性别歧视者的攻击性广告已经如此泛滥，以至于他女儿，8, 问为什么有人说他对女性很刻薄。在最无处不在的一则广告中，El-Sayed 对密歇根州州长 Gretchen Whitmer 以及前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马标志性倡议的批评被呈现为他不尊重女性的证据。他对女儿的解释是，“一些非常坏的人”不想让他当选。他对成年人的解释是，他并非特别轻视女性，而是对一个他想要重建的、有缺陷的政治体制持有蔑视之情。对此，他并不道歉。“我对这个体制有很大的轻蔑，”他在一次采访中说，“我来这里不是为了扮演一个好人的。”

El-Sayed 曾是一名公共卫生官员，拥有播客主般熟练的表达能力，他建立了一个进步派的候选人形象，而在建制派民主党人看来，这对于 11 月赢得参议院控制权构成了威胁。在周二的初选中，他们支持其较为温和的对手——众议员 Haley Stevens，理由是 El-Sayed 的极左观点和尖刻语气会疏远摇摆选民，并将权力拱交给共和党人 Mike Rogers，后者是一名两年前在参议院竞选中以微小差距落败的前国会议员。这种动态反映了民主党内部长期以来在左翼民粹主义与建制派人物之间的内战，后者担心进步派的获胜会破坏他们精心构建的联盟，并导致他们在摇摆州的胜选机会丢失。

在密歇根州竞选的最后几天，大量攻击 El-Sayed 性别歧视的政治广告涌入信箱，而 Stevens 的支持者则描述了一种利用女性刻板印象、贬低其智力并暗示女性无法独立思考的行为模式。虽然 El-Sayed 称 Stevens 为“美国能力最差的候选人”，但他也将其犀利的才智和嘲讽指向了亿万富翁、需要“蜕皮”的建制派民主党人、他认为在挑拣叙事的主流媒体、共和党人、外国政府，尤其是将资金注入政治被其称为“合法贿赂”的公司。他说，所有这些都是政治体制的组成部分，因为它们保护了一个失败的现状而理应受到蔑视。

拥有埃及血统的 El-Sayed 将成为美国首位穆斯林参议员。他及其许多支持者将性别歧视的指控视为基于中东男性刻板印象的迫害，这也是 El-Sayed 将自己塑造为挑战建制派民主党和企业利益这一“歌利亚”的“大卫”的部分原因。

“当你面对一个像我这样的人竞选时，很容易就顺着一条陈旧的刻板印象地走，”El-Sayed 说。

与美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）相关的亲以色列游说团体已花费 $30 反对 El-Sayed，其中大部分内容指责他不尊重女性。El-Sayed 告诉 AIPAC，在试图击败他的时候可以尽管“烧掉他们的钱”。他称加沙战争为种族灭绝，并以停止对以色列的军事援助作为竞选主张。

关于性别歧视的指控并不局限于攻击性广告。支持 Stevens（一名曾为奥巴马政府工作、担任三届国会议员的女性）的女性也指出，他的语言可能成为政治负担，并表示他需要为自己的言论负责。

“我们已经面对了足够的针对女性的攻击，”底特律郊区 Lathrup Village 的临时市长 Kelly Garrett 说道，“如果哪怕只有一点点……”

……对此，对我来说不值得。”密歇根州众议员希拉里·肖尔滕（Hillary Scholten，民主党）在多次采访中谈到了她所谓的这场竞选中“深层的剧烈性别歧视”，她告诉《华盛波报》，除了那些攻击性广告外，并非所有针对埃尔-赛义德（El-Sayed）的批评都是捏造的抹黑活动。身为史蒂文斯（Stevens）支持者的肖尔滕表示：“阿卜杜尔（Abdul）需要为自己的言论负责。”埃尔-赛义德并未撤回那些引发最大反弹的言论。他曾称受欢迎的惠特默（Whitmer）为“被收买且付过费的”，因为她接受了一家由其父亲领导的公司捐赠；惠特默最近背书了史蒂文斯，并在 2018 年州长初选中击败了埃尔-赛义德。他还说史蒂文斯无法“把两句连贯的话凑在一起”。在谈到史蒂文斯时，他说：“问题不在于智力，”他称其“足够聪明”。“我对她的看法实际上远次于我对她的政治风格的看法，因为那正是我竞选要反对的一切，”他说道。史蒂文斯没有直接指责他性别歧视，但她批评他的方式是“不幸的”且“具有侮辱性的”，称他在投诉时没有阐明解决问题的计划。

埃尔-赛义德在民调中大幅上升。凭借其“将金钱赶出政治，将钱揣进你口袋，全民医疗”的民粹主义口号，他在网络上的病毒式传播，以及对极具争议的新媒体人物的不羁接纳，埃尔-赛义德吸引了来自不断崛起的政治左翼的强力支持。这种成功为密歇根州的初选带来了前所未有的资金，有超过 $60 million 的外部资金用于攻击他或支持史蒂文斯。随着选举临近，史蒂文斯的语气变得轻蔑。她在最近的一条 X 帖文中称埃尔-赛义德为“伙计”和“兄弟”，并指责他想要将“你们所有的问题都归咎于美国犹太人”。他将对他人格的攻击描述为：一个在关键摇摆州面对决定性的进步派胜利而心生恐惧、且正在衰落的民主党建制派的证据。

“事实证明，我不需要你们喜欢我，”埃尔-赛义德上周在庞蒂亚克（Pontiac）的一次志愿者集会上说道，他在会上鼓励支持者要足够勇敢，为改善生活的政策而奋斗。“我需要你们喜欢你们自己，”他说道。他的嘲讽也指向男性：他嘲笑卫生与公共服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）穿着牛仔裤健身。他称被推定为共和党候选人的罗杰斯（Rogers）为“Beta男”，并嘲弄这位 63 岁的前国会议员发布了一张经过 AI 增强的、让罗杰斯拥有肌肉上身的照片。他将挑战身高 6-foot-8 的宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼（John Fetterman，民主党，一名批评那些质疑以色列的民主党人的人物）参加初选，比作将食人魔的头颅钉在尖刺上。“约翰·费特曼难道不是个食人魔吗？”阿卜杜尔在一次采访中问道。“你还能把他比作什么？我是说，在我看来他非常像食人魔。”

长期关注密歇根州政治的记者苏珊·J·德马斯（Susan J. Demas）表示，虽然埃尔-赛义德的刻薄批评也适用于男性，但她认为“当他面对女性对手时，他的攻击带有某种锋芒”。埃尔-赛义德还曾说，退出竞选的州参议员马洛里·麦克莫罗（Mallory McMorrow，民主党）缺乏魅力，且“抄我的作业，而且抄得很烂”。他批评她误解了医疗改革，并祝她在阅读他关于该主题的著作时“好运！！”。麦克莫罗的支持者、枪支暴力预防组织“母亲们要求行动”（Moms Demand Action）的创始人香农·沃茨（Shannon Watts）表示，无法将埃尔-赛义德与一种支持其候选资格的在线“兄弟文化”（bro-culture）分开，这种文化利用他的蔑视，将其作为嘲讽史蒂文斯的嗓音、举止和外貌的许可证。“这是一种非常毒性的文化，”沃茨说。“我对……不感兴趣。”

“一个轻视女性的人，即使他们轻视所有人也是如此。”在麦克莫罗退出竞争后，沃茨支持史蒂文斯，而美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）的超级政治行动委员会（SuperPAC）在他的广告中使用了沃茨的话——她指出，这是在未经她同意的情况下——用来指控埃尔-赛义德不尊重女性。同一则广告引用了他 2010 年写的一篇评论文章，称当时奥巴马的反肥胖努力“无能”。埃尔-赛义德指出，他称其为“值得称赞，尽管无能”，因为肥胖的根源与锻炼关系较小，而与种族和贫困关系更大。他认为，如果他的对手能挖掘出除这些脱离语境的言论之外的更多证据，这些内容早就在密歇根州的电视上大肆播放了。“如果他们有任何我实际虐待女性的证据，你会在一波又一波的广告中听到这一切，”他说。“你们能找到最好的证据就是我写了一篇关于‘让我们动起来’（Let’s Move）活动的评论文章？”

最近，网络上对史蒂文斯的嘲讽成为了一个累赘，当这种氛围达到顶峰时，埃尔-赛义德在 X 上发声称“这已经变得无法忽视”。“如果你支持我，请停止这种行为，”他在列举了一系列他认为支持者应该用来攻击她的政策立场之前写道。“我们不需要通过不友善来表达诚实。”在政治攻击开始前几个月，埃尔-赛义德的妻子萨拉·朱卡库（Sarah Jukaku）就担心人们会误解他的某些言论。二月份，她坐在餐厅的餐桌旁，谈到了竞选首位穆斯林参议员的压力。“有一种非常微妙的方式将某人‘他者化’。当你是一个棕色皮肤的人或穆斯林时，你知道，最容易被扣在身上的标签就是性别歧视，对吧？”她说。“他不是那样的人，”她说。“这感觉太不公平了。”关于埃尔-赛义德的普遍叙事已经深深渗入了这场竞选的结构之中，史蒂文斯的支持者看到了性别歧视，而埃尔-赛义德的支持者则看到了最糟糕的政治投机。

在埃尔-赛义德最近于萨吉诺（Saginaw）举行的一场拉票活动中，塞伦尼蒂·霍普·萨拉克（Serenity Hope Salak）将性别歧视的指控斥为对他参选资格的选择性误解。“他没有贬低女性，”她说。“他是在告诉人们事情运转不畅。”在最近于费恩代尔（Ferndale）举行的一场集会上，64 岁的劳拉·瓦尔加（Laura Varga）描述自己是一名女性主义者，她认为埃尔-赛义德将金钱剔出政治的使命对于扭转国家衰落至关重要。随后，她花了四天时间为他敲开了 200 扇门，结果回到家收到了一封邮件，其中引用了一起针对他前雇主的歧视诉讼，以此证明他不尊重女性。她说，大约 90 分钟的时间里，想到自己可能支持了一个她无法认同的候选人，她陷入了“焦虑的恶性循环”。“在这场竞选中，我的价值观和我的选票是我唯一能控制的东西，”她说。“恐慌情绪控制了我。”她最终查阅了正在进行的诉讼，并亲自阅读得知他并没有被指控个人虐待女性。她认定该邮件歪曲了事实，就像政治中的其他部分一样。

周一，2026年8月3日 • 华盛顿邮报 A5 EZ RE 在确认第二天可以处理他的请求之前，什么也没有承诺。“谢谢你这么做，”麦克布雷尔蒂（McBreairty）说。“我只是认为给他一定的认可会比较合适。”“当然，”比金（Begin）同意道。“这样做没什么不对。”

由于将在11月与共和党资深参议员苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）展开竞争——这场选举是决定参议院控制权的重点赛事之一——杰克逊（Jackson）押注于自己的背景（包括早年从事伐木业的经历）将使他能够接触到那些日益远离民主党的缅因州农村选民。一个被反复提及的竞选口号邀请选民加入一场并非来自左翼或右翼，而是来自底层的运动。

但即使是在阿拉加什（Allagash）——一个距离加拿大边境仅咫尺之遥、只有一条路的村庄——其 200 多名居民对其最出名的儿子也存在严重分歧。对于一些人来说，杰克逊被推举为参议员候选人（他接替了缅因州民主党最初的提名人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳 [Graham Platner]，后者在丑闻阴影中退出）是一个自豪的时刻。国家级的政治家通常不会来自像阿拉加什这样的地方。这里如此偏远，以至于半个小镇没有手机信号，广播几乎只能接收到从魁北克广播的法语电台。

与缅因州北部大部分地区一样，阿拉加什数十年来一直处于经济和人口下降状态，尽管现在部分由旅游业支撑——如在相邻的阿拉加什河上划独木舟，以及在周围森林中狩猎和驾驶雪地摩托。“大多数人认为一个人无法带来改变，但他们其实可以。一个人可以创造影响，”经营镇上唯一餐厅“双河午餐”（Two Rivers Lunch）的达琳·杜蒙德（Darlene Dumond）说道。“但我不知道是否有人想过，[会是]一个像特洛伊·杰克逊（Troy Jackson）这样来自如此之小地方的人。有数百万人认同他。”

在接下来的 20 年里，杰克逊在州议会的连任中持续获胜，尽管他所代表的这个历史上属于民主党的地区正趋于保守。在 2020 年，他在其参议院选区获得了 59% 的选票，而柯林斯在阿拉加什所在的阿鲁斯图克县（Aroostook County）则赢得了超过 67% 的选票。

他的支持者坚称，杰克逊保留了一名将为工人阶级而战的局外人的真实吸引力。“他不会被任何人收买，”杜蒙德说。“我怀疑这种事会发生在阿拉加什人身上。在这里不会那样发生。”

其他人则对他吸引共和党人的能力持怀疑态度。“你现在应该把相机对着我的脸吗？”当一名记者询问关于这种前景时，比金说道，他的表情扭曲成一种可以被描述为好奇且嘲讽的冷笑。

在一个与伐木业保持紧密联系的社区——访客会数不清开过去的载满木材的卡车数量——杰克逊的对手对他早已转向政治却仍披着伐木工外衣的行为感到愤慨。这与他们更广泛的抱怨密不可分，即杰克逊从未为他们的社区做过任何事情，在掌权时并未专注于帮助缅因州北部的人们，这与同为阿鲁斯图克县原住民的柯林斯截然不同。

“当我看着特洛伊拿着那把电锯时，我觉得太荒谬了。他是个骗子，”在 2023 年地方选举中击败杰克逊的凯丽·凯利（Karie Kelly）说道。凯利将杰克逊与她的丈夫进行了对比，她说她的丈夫在伐木业工作 30 年后，现在一周仍有一半时间在伐木营地度过：“他并不代表那些真正流血和汗水的男人。”

“在这片森林里挥洒汗水。”阿拉加什（Allagash）的分裂无疑是政治性的；杰克逊最狂热的支持者是民主党人，而最猛烈的批评者则是共和党人。但这其中也包含着强烈的个人恩怨。社区里到处是彼此亲属且熟知每个人私事的终身居民。有些人因为担心会与处于对立面的朋友或家人反目而不敢公开谈论杰克逊和参议院选举。杰克逊的母亲科琳·麦克布雷尔蒂（Colleen McBreairty）说，由于讨论变得过于恶劣，她已经停止查看社交媒体。“我想我不明白，”她坐在装饰着杰克逊竞选标志的纱窗门廊上说道，“如果来自我们这个小镇的一个年轻人，无论是男还是女，取得了成功，我会为他们感到高兴。所以我不能理解那种逻辑，那种心态。我真的不理解。”

笼罩在这一切之上的是那次重新计票。2023年3月，在州参议院任期的最后阶段，杰克逊试图竞选阿拉加什的民选行政长官，即第一选民（first selectperson）。他的竞争对手包括凯利（Kelly），一名家庭主妇，她说她参选是为了处理五年前儿子去世的悲痛。“在我儿子去世时，整个小镇真的团结在一起支持我，所以我想，你知道，回馈一点东西，”她在一次采访中说道。凯利穿着一件蓝色“Let’s Go Brandon”T恤（这是对前总统乔·拜登的嘲讽性引用），她说当时并没有多少竞选活动，只是给朋友打电话请他们投票给她。她以 78-70 的比分击败了杰克逊。

随后，杰克逊以担心“只有一个人看到选票”为由，要求重新计票。这在当地引起了轩然大波，尤其是在杰克逊的儿子提出监督选举的贝根（Begin）可能存在舞弊的可能性之后。最终结果几乎相同：77-71。

“我感到深受侮辱。而且他甚至没有在重新计票时出现。这更让人觉得受辱，”凯利说，“他甚至没有，比如，理会我。他没有祝贺我。”尽管她为自己担任第一选民期间的服务感到自豪，包括她为镇上孩子们组织的一次圣诞派对，但凯利说她感到被杰克逊的支持者排挤，其中一些人她曾认为是朋友。次年，在进入第二个一年任期数月后，她辞职了。“这不值得承受这种心碎，”她说，“我尝试得很努力，但小镇被完全劈成了两半。他的那一边极其讨厌我。他们恨我恨得彻骨。”

被卷入这场闹剧的人，包括贝根在内，至今仍未从该事件中走出来。杰克逊的一些支持者也是如此，他们认为这件事被夸大了，并被用来将他描绘成一个不公正的负面形象。

“这个男人有权要求重新计票。噢，结果这居然成了亵渎，”韦恩·麦克布雷尔蒂（Wayne McBreairty）说道，他与科琳没有直接亲属关系。“我的天啊，竟然有人觉得在这个小镇要求重新计票是不可思议的。我的天，他应该被涂上焦油并粘上羽毛（公开羞辱）。”

杜蒙德（Dumond）说，那些不喜欢杰克逊的当地人实际上是出于对一个在阿拉加什之外取得如此大成功的人的“纯粹嫉妒”。她说，抱怨他不在镇上花足够的时间以及从未做过任何帮他们的事情，都只是借口。“苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）会一直来这里坐在你的餐桌前陪你喝茶吗？”杜蒙德说，“当你回到这个‘气泡’（封闭小社区）中时，你必须重新融入这个气泡并重新赢得他们的信任。你依然是个局外人。”

贝根对这种暗示感到震惊。“我永远不会嫉妒一个欺负人的人，”她说，“你可以把这句话印上去。”

在麦克布雷尔蒂离开镇公所后，苏珊·麦克布雷尔蒂（Susan McBreairty），阿拉—

gash的文员兼Wayne的嫂子从她的办公桌走过来，与Begin商量关于他的请求。作为另一个当地的Jackson怀疑论者，她不想张贴祝贺信息。她认为，这可能被视为对Jackson的认可，那么随后他们可能也得为Collins做同样的事。McBreairty在Facebook上给一个朋友发消息问：“镇上可以在电子显示屏上放一条祝贺Troy的祝贺信息吗？”回复几乎立即就来了。“可以吗？可以。应该吗？不应该。这就是制定政策的重要性所在，”这位朋友写道，并加了一个眨眼的补充：“把它交给投票决定。” “我们社区有一些活动，他从未出席过。我们社区有一些丧事，他从未出席过。……我们在本社区看不到Troy的身影。” Nola Begin，缅因州Allagash镇经理

作者：玛丽亚娜·阿尔法罗 (MARIANA ALFARO) 和 艾米·B·王 (AMY B WANG)

伯尼·莫雷诺 (Bernie Moreno) 参议员（共和党-俄亥俄州）周日表示，他的前女婿马克斯·米勒 (Max Miller) 众议员（共和党-俄亥俄州）是一个“危险人物”，在其实女艾米莉·莫雷诺 (Emily Moreno) 对米勒提出家庭暴力指控后，米勒不应在国会任职。艾米莉·莫雷诺指控这位国会议员虐待她，包括向她泼热水以及用枪指着她的头部。她还指控他伤害了他们 2 岁的女儿。

莫雷诺参议员的评论出现在米勒发布的一段冗长的直播视频约 90 分钟之后。米勒在视频中否认了家庭暴力的指控，并表示他不会放弃竞选连任。莫雷诺在 X 平台的一篇帖子中将这位国会议员的行为描述为反复无常，并表示他担心家人的安全。

“他对我的女儿构成了危险，而在他监护我孙女的每一分钟里，我都屏息凝神，”莫雷诺写道。“如果担任选职有任何基本的人格标准要求，马克斯·米勒就完全不合格。他不应该在众议院任职。”

莫雷诺还写道，米勒应该“寻求专业帮助，以终止他留下的明显虐待模式”。莫雷诺表示，虽然他希望将“此事私下处理”，但米勒“日益反复无常且危险的行为”使得这变得“不可能”。

“在公众面前完整地目睹这一切发生，同时知道一个无辜的 2 岁小女孩被夹在中间，这太可怕了，”莫雷诺在帖子中说道。

自其女的指控首次公开以来，这是该参议员首次公开要求米勒离开众议院。周四，在艾米莉·莫雷诺针对米勒申请新的禁制令后，参议员的办公室在给华盛顿邮报的一份声明中表示，他的“首要任务是其女儿和孙女的安全与福祉”。

周日早些时候，米勒在 X 平台的一段直播视频中誓言，他不会退出俄亥俄州的国会竞选。米勒还称虐待指控是虚假的，并表示在两人陷入监护权之争之前，他们的关系是相互尊重的。

“如果我袭击了她，她会在六天后提出给我做晚餐吗？”米勒在谈到前妻时说道。“她会邀请我和我们的女儿一起在游乐场度过一个下午吗？她会写信说我们的关系变得更友好了吗？”这位国会议员在镜头前询问，背景看起来像是他的家中厨房。

米勒的言论立即在社交媒体上引发反应，用户指出，受害者对家庭暴力的反应各不相同。

据强奸、虐待和乱伦国家网络 (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) 称，倡导组织表示，受害者的行为方式可能看似反直觉，包括试图通过“发笑、顺从或试图‘维持和平’”来“安抚加害者”，该组织认为“抚慰”可能是一种“习得的生存工具”。

艾米莉·莫雷诺指控该国会议员身体虐待他们的女儿，该女童在 2 月份遭受了锁骨骨折。米勒在视频中表示，他的前妻编造这些指控是因为她精神不稳定。她的律师对此予以否认。

米勒和艾米莉·莫雷诺于 2022 年 8 月结婚，2023 年 11 月生下女儿，并于 2025 年 6 月离婚。37 岁的米勒目前正在竞选俄亥俄州第 7 国会选区的第三任期。

在法庭文件中，艾米莉·莫雷诺表示，在 2024 年 6 月，在她表示计划离开米勒的那一天，他向她泼了热水

他刚煮好的一盘鸡蛋将她甩向她。她说这导致她摔在地上，随后米勒用水槽软管向她喷水。周日，米勒将该事件斥为“打闹”。“我用厨房水槽水龙头上的喷头向她喷水，那水既没达到沸腾温度，也不会烫伤，”米勒说道。米勒还指控他的前妻实施家庭暴力，但一名法官上周正式驳回了米勒针对莫雷诺的起诉。在周日视频快结束时，米勒表示他将在文件托管服务 Dropbox 上提供其主张的证据，他的办公室在直播后将其发布在网上。米勒直视镜头，表示他将继续竞选连任。“我不会退出这场竞争，我将在 11 月获胜，并且我会回到第 120 届”国会，他说。参议员 伯尼·莫雷诺 表示

华盛顿州东部快速蔓延的山火引发疏散 作者：MIRIAM WALDVOGEL 消防员正在与华盛顿州斯波坎（Spokane）的三场山火作斗争，周六快速蔓延的火焰迫使该市北侧约 5,000 栋房屋进行疏散。负责处理情况的联邦团队发言人本杰明·科塞尔（Benjamin Cossel）表示，截至周日上午，已有 600 多座建筑被焚毁，随着损毁评估团队进入现场，这一数字可能会增加。目前尚不清楚这些建筑中有多少是住宅或企业。

这场火灾发生在极风的周末之后，美国国家气象局表示，斯波坎地区的火灾风险处于“极度关键”级别，这是该机构的最高级别预警。尽管周日的预测温度在 70 华氏度左右，但随着气温飙升至 90 度且湿度下降，危险的火灾条件可能会在本周晚些时候再次出现。周日晚些时候风速也可能增加。

其中一场火灾已经跨越了斯波坎河，目前工作人员正试图阻止火势沿对岸一个陡峭的峡谷向上蔓延，因为那里可能会形成强风通道。学区发言人瑞安·兰开斯特（Ryan Lancaster）表示，另一场火灾曾接近疏散区内两所学校的几个街区，但最终学校未受影响。

总之，这三场火灾目前已焚毁斯波坎南北和西侧约 7,700 英亩的土地。斯波坎是华盛顿州的第二大城市，约有 230,000 人居住。今年 6 月，由于该市东北部爆发的另一场山火，约 11,000 人被疏散。

“有可能一旦风力增强，特别是那个峡谷在某种程度上与此一致……可能会导致一些潜在问题，”科塞尔说。华盛顿州州长鲍勃·费格森（Bob Ferguson，民主党）周六表示，他已动员 110 名国民警卫队成员协助支持灭火工作。

随着斯波坎的火灾，目前华盛顿州内共有 10 场大型山火在燃烧。在全国范围内，已焚毁的英亩数已经超过了去年的总和。由于山火烟雾，国家气象局已对华盛顿州、俄勒冈州、蒙塔纳州和爱达荷州的部分地区发布未来几日的空气质量预警。整个北半球约 20 percent 的陆地面积出现了中度或更高浓度的烟尘颗粒。era

根据《华盛顿邮报》的一项分析，仅在 7 月一个月内，就有部分地区的山火造成了影响。除了加拿大和美国北部燃烧的山火将巨大的烟柱送往东海岸外，法国和西班牙也经历了破纪录的火灾。

华盛顿邮报 • 2026年8月3日，星期一 A8 EZ RE

《华盛顿邮报》试图查明这些移民是谁，以及他们是如何登上 164 航班的。为此，该报采访了 16 名乘客（其中大多数现已死亡或失踪）的亲属、三名幸存者、人权专家和委内瑞拉官员，并审查了视频、照片、文本消息和其他文件。亲属表示，在被拘留时，大多数被重建案例的人员仍有待处理的庇护申请。大约一半的人通过临时保护状态免于被遣返，直到特朗普政府去年取消了针对委内瑞拉人的该项福利。几名乘客告诉家人，他们希望继续追求其移民案件，但在美国移民与海关执法局 (ICE) 拘留数周或数月后，最终同意被遣返。

国土安全部未回应关于航班乘员名单的信息请求，并否认了有关被拘留者被施压要求自愿遣返的指控。该机构在一份书面声明中表示：“此次飞行安全抵达委内瑞拉，机上所有非法移民均已返回家乡。当一个人不再被 ICE 拘留时，ICE 不再对其负责。”

委内瑞拉通讯与信息部未回应关于被遣返者的信息请求，包括他们为何被拘留以及他们的下落。他们也没有就有关官员向亲属提供关于其亲人是否幸存的混乱且在某些情况下不正确信息的指控发表评论。家属表示，他们只能自行寻找答案。

圣图阿里奥-拉利亚纳达酒店 (Hotel Santuario La Llanada) 的废墟仍由委内瑞拉情报警察控制，并对家属、救援团体和媒体关闭。被遣返者的亲属花费数周时间，通过泄露的乘客名单、手机视频、文本消息、电话以及前往医院和停尸房走访来寻求信息。几位亲属表示，玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的官员警告他们不要公开讲话。

“他们辜负了我们，”前委内瑞拉警察奥萨尔·穆希卡 (Osal Mujica) 的妻子丹妮莉·胡尔塔多 (Daniely Hurtado) 说道。她将她所描述的拘留期间的心理折磨归咎于美国政府，并将地震后的疏忽归咎于委内瑞拉政府。“这是一个不可挽回的失败。”

逮捕与拘留 自 2023 年抵达美国以来，奥萨尔·穆希卡在丹佛周围从事修理屋顶、清洗水箱和送货工作，将钱寄回家中支付家庭开支和儿子的学费。他申请了庇护并获得了工作许可。但由于传票寄到了旧地址，他错过了一次移民法庭的出庭日期。

当丹佛的移民劳工达到饱和状态（其中许多人在拜登政府期间跨越美国边境）时，奥萨尔·穆希卡开始在怀俄明州寻找机会。他的妻子说，他持有科罗拉多州颁发的驾驶执照，并找到了一份送货工作。她说，他不知道怀俄明州不认可颁发给没有合法身份驾驶员的州执照。

“‘我会给自己一年时间’，”胡尔塔多回忆起丈夫说过的话。“他从未想过待在那儿，但为了帮助家人，他去了。”

今年 4 月，一名警长助理在奥萨尔·穆希卡，32 岁，开车时将其拦下。在怀俄明州及全国各地，地方机构正日益加强与 ICE 的合作以执行移民执法。他被拘留并立即签署了一份

他的妻子说，他收到了自愿离境令。5 月初，他撤回了庇护申请，并告知法院他不会对遣返令提出上诉。但他的拘留时间被不断拖延，他变得越来越焦虑和抑郁。Osal Mujica 告诉他的妻子，灯光全天候亮着，导致他难以入睡。在一次视频通话中，他给儿子看了一道流血的疤痕，那是他用偷来的刀片在手臂上刻下儿子的名字留下的。Hurtado 惊恐地责备他。后来，他开始绝食，恳求当局释放他。他体重减轻了 60 磅。Hurtado 表示，官员们告诉她丈夫，他们弄丢了他的文件。随后，拘留中心的官员说他必须自费购买回国的机票。他的家人将钱存入了他的账户，但几周过去了，仍没有关于他何时返回的消息。美国国土安全部 (DHS) 未对 Hurtado 的指控发表评论，仅在一份声明中表示，

Osal Mujica 非法入境，且美国运输安全管理局在 2023. 11 月发现他使用了虚假的社会安全号码。他的家人表示，他在抵达美国后不久被一个他认为是律师的人给骗了，因此以为那是有效的号码。“他告诉姐姐，‘如果他们不放我走，我不知道该怎么办，’” Hurtado 抽泣着回忆道。Mujica 随后向妻子哀叹道：“我只是在工作。为什么他们要让我这样受苦？” 类似的逮捕和拘留故事正在全国各地上演。虽然 DHS 没有像过去一年在明尼阿波利斯和芝加哥那样部署大规模的联邦移民执法行动，但官员们每天仍在进行数百次逮捕。那些最终登上 164 号航班的男女，正是这些在鲜少登上头条的逮捕浪潮中被拘留的人。5 月，在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的一次母亲节交通拦截中，28 岁的 Daniel Alejandro Nuñez Ramirez 被捕，其家人表示他有尚未处理完毕的庇护申请。三天后，布劳沃德县治安官的副手们突袭了一家 Home Depot 商店，那里聚集着寻找工作的日雇工，他们拘留了没有合法身份的 29 岁男子 Yonaiker José Ortiz Lara。在新泽西州，40 岁的 Jhonatan Lamus 收到通知，要求他向移民当局报到以规范其移民身份。他曾获得临时保护身份，但与其他委内瑞拉人一样，在该身份被取消后，现在面临被遣返的可能性。“他没有像许多人那样选择躲起来，而是决定出现并遵守法律，” Lamus 的表妹 Adela Osuna 说道，“他内心的一部分想回

委内瑞拉，他还开玩笑地对我们说，‘好吧，如果他们把我驱逐出境，那就更好了——我还能省下一张机票钱。’” 到 6 月，作为新一轮执法激增的一部分，美国移民与海关执法局 (ICE) 的官员开始大幅增加逮捕人数。在芝加哥，他的姐姐说，移民官员在进入一名曾从事渔业的 37 岁男子 Villegas Castillo 正在进行建筑工作的房屋后将其逮捕。6 月 13 日，佛罗里达州公路巡警在奥兰多附近拦截了正在驾驶工作货车的 27 岁景观美化工 Luis Alberto Marchán Hernández。一周后，移民官员在图森逮捕了 32 岁的 Yamilk Alberto Caldera 及其妻子，当时他们正在配送食物。34 岁的 Pereira Amesty 及其妻子于 6 月被传唤到田纳西州向 ICE 报到。他们曾获得随后又失去了能使其免于被遣返的临时保护身份，但仍在寻求一个

庇护申请。他们的侄女说，官员们给了这对夫妇一个选择：其中一人可以在争取移民案件期间被拘留，或者两人都签署文件同意带着儿子离开该国。这家人同意自愿遣返，并被告知在 8 月之前有时间购买机票并收拾行李。但他们的侄女说，当他们一周后去报到时，官员告诉这家人他们当天就得离开，并立即将他们拘留。其他家庭也被分开了。在布劳沃德县（Broward County）的家得宝（Home Depot）被捕的奥蒂兹·拉拉（Ortiz Lara）从东蒙大拿营地（Camp East Montana）给他的伴侣发了短信，那是位于德克萨斯州布利斯堡（Fort Bliss）的一个臭名昭著的帐篷城，许多最终将登上 Flight 164 的移民都被拘留在那里。“Esto es duro，”他给伴侣发信道，由于担心成为美国和委内瑞拉当局的目标，该伴侣在要求匿名的条件下分享了这些短信。“这真的太难了。”这对夫妇制定了一个计划。奥蒂兹·拉拉的伴侣和他们的幼儿将向联邦移民官员投案并请求遣返，以便他们能在加拉加斯共同重建生活。在回国航班起飞前一夜，奥蒂兹·拉拉发送了最后一条消息：“Nos vemos en Venezuela.” 我们在委内瑞拉见。

在飞回家的途中，杰西贝丝·蒙蒂尔·纳瓦（Jeycibeth Montiel Nava）在埃尔帕索登机时心情复杂。这位 31 岁的三个孩子的母亲在收到与家人参与当地政治相关的威胁后逃离了委内瑞拉。她在 2023 年申请了庇护，并相信法官会认可其案件的价值，并为她提供一条获得公民身份的道路。但在佐治亚州的斯图尔特拘留中心（Stewart Detention Center）被关押了几周后，她崩溃了。她说警卫对被拘留者大声辱骂，拒绝让他们上厕所，并给他们端上像豆子那样长虫的食物。她撤回了庇护申请，并签署了同意自愿返回的文件。回去意味着能再次见到她的孩子们，但也意味着放弃她在美国想象的未来。

女性和儿童被分配在飞机的同一部分座位上，男性则被安置在另一部分。成年人的手腕和脚踝都被戴上了镣铐。“在经历了所有虐待之后，我们很高兴能回去，”她回忆道，“但我们以为我们会获得自由。”当航班在委内瑞拉降落时，政府官员和电视摄像机迎接了乘客。委内瑞拉的“回归祖国计划”（Return to the Homeland Mission）——该政府倡议负责处理被遣返者——发布了照片和视频，庆祝移民的抵达。官员们拥抱乘客，给孩子们发放玩具。他们将这架飞机称为 Flight 164，164，这是政府对来自美国和其他国家的遣返航班的统计编号。

自该计划于 2018, 年创建以来，政府将其描绘成一项人道主义使命，欢迎在海外经历艰辛后的委内瑞拉人回家。与此同时，政府官员经常指责移民被外国势力操纵，并对离开国家的人产生怀疑。“当摄像机在拍摄时，他们拥抱你，”一名出于安全考虑要求匿名的被遣返者说，“但一旦拍摄结束，他们对待你的方式就像你是离开国家的叛徒一样。”玻利瓦尔国家情报局（SEBIN）的特工将 Flight 164 的大部分乘客安置在前往圣图阿里奥·拉利亚纳酒店（Hotel Santuario La Llanada）的巴士上。这座俯瞰加勒比海、拥有赤陶土屋顶的院落从未作为酒店运营。它建于 1960 年左右，最初是一所天主教小学和高中，后来

……在这里，居民们曾就学、学习手艺并在著名的巡回马戏团中演出。委内瑞拉政府最终将该物业改为一个住宅药物康复中心，并在冠状病毒大流行期间将其用作隔离设施。在2024年冰岛驱逐了一批委内瑞拉人之后，玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 利用该设施在将返回者交给其家人之前对其进行处理。164号航班的乘客也将遵循同样的路线。“他们告诉我们，由于在将我们交给家人之前需要接受24小时调查，因此我们将被拘留，”蒙蒂尔·纳瓦 (Montiel Nava) 回忆道。“我不知道他们为什么需要把我们带到那里。”

官员们发放了新的国民身份证，并指示被驱逐者寻找贴有其姓名标签、装有个人物品的袋子。但几名幸存者表示，玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的特工没收了人们的手机并要求提供密码。一名男子表示，一名特工告诉他，官员们正在寻找被驱逐者反对政府的证据。该特工警告说，如果发现了这些证据，他们可能会被更长时间地拘留。

幸存者表示，被驱逐者被允许拨打一次回家电话——使用由一名玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 官员提供的电话。在拨号之前，他们必须提供想要联系的亲属的姓名、国民身份证号码、地址和手机号码。被驱逐者说，官员们将他们分配到摆满双层床的房间里，并告诉他们除非是在护送下使用洗手间，否则不得离开。他们分发了毛巾和洗漱用品，打开水龙头让每个人洗澡，然后将餐食送到房间。

蒙蒂尔·纳瓦说，她是最后一批办理国民身份证件的女性之一。她回到二楼的房间，躺下，将圣经塞在枕头下，开始迷迷糊糊地入睡。大约 6 p.m.，尖叫声将她惊醒。 everything都在摇晃。她周围的墙壁开始坍塌。碎片砸毁了她休息的双层床金属架，差几英寸就将她压扁。

“我能听到人们在尖叫和哭泣，”蒙蒂尔·纳瓦说。“为了出去，我必须爬过一块水泥板，那块水泥板把在我床边的那位女性压死了。”她说，九名女性从像煎饼一样塌陷的屋顶的一个开口处爬出，获救。

蒙蒂尔·纳瓦说，她请求一些情报官员帮助他们营救仍留在里面的人，但他们没有响应她的恳求。在夜色降临时，她神志恍惚且赤脚地开始行走。四个小时里，她跋涉而过，她将其描述为由粉碎的水泥、无头儿童和被压扁的尸体组成的噩梦般的景象。她来到一个委内瑞拉国民卫队的指挥所，人们在那里开始搭建一个露天停尸房。一名士兵给她带来了一块玉米饼 (arepa) 吃。

在瓦砾中搜寻

在远离加拉加斯的埃尔梅科卡尔 (El Mecocal) 小镇，一名被驱逐者的母亲正小心地在横幅上写着“欢迎回家”，此时关于地震的消息开始传播。随着时间流逝，她开始担心。她知道她的儿子阿尔图罗 (Arturo) 在降落在灾难震中附近后被政府拘留。由于该家庭担心在委内瑞拉遭受报复，《华盛顿邮报》同意仅以阿尔图罗的名字来识别他，并隐瞒其母亲的身份。他于 2023 年逃离该国，以帮助支持他的母亲及其缝纫工作。

阿尔图罗的小镇迅速动员起来寻找他。6月 26,，一支载满食物和水的摩托车及汽车车队

以及医疗用品，从西部的苏利亚州出发，开始了向拉瓜伊拉方向的 16 小时车程。他们在黎明时分抵达。但玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的官员已经封锁了建筑坍塌现场。由于担心遭到报复，要求匿名的阿尔图罗车队负责人表示，家属被禁止进入，许多人甚至受到拘留的威胁。其他被毁建筑的居民亲属有时可以通过搜索在特定地址发现的人员，在停尸房和重症监护室中找到他们的亲人。但 164 航班的许多家属并不确切知道他们被带到了哪里，并表示被遣返者最多被标记为“repatriados”——被遣返者。

阿尔图罗的搜寻小组最终收到消息，称他的遗体在加拉加斯的一家停尸房中被发现。但当他们到达时，他并不在那里。随后，来自拉瓜伊拉港口一个临时停尸房的电话打来了。他的母亲通过他肋骨上延伸的纹身认出了他：“家人。生命的起点，爱永不终结之地。”

其他被遣返者的家属表示，他们收到的信息混乱且时而矛盾。阿德拉·奥苏纳表示，情报部门两次造访她在塔奇拉州叔叔的家中。在一次访问中，他们表达了慰问，告诉家人她的表哥乔纳森·拉姆斯已经去世。下一次访问时，他们要求家人停止公开讨论他的案件。然而一周后，一名玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的官员在手机上滚动浏览着奥苏纳认为的乘客名单，然后告诉她，拉姆斯不在废墟中被救出的人员之列。他暗示，也许她的表哥在地震后走失了，也许他失忆了，或者处于休克状态。她应该继续检查医院。

“是他们把他带到”圣拉利亚纳酒店 (Hotel Santuario La Llanada) 的，”奥苏纳后来说道，“应该是他们去寻找他。”

奥尔利·古兹曼在地震三天后，在加拉加斯的佩雷斯-卡雷尼奥医院找到了她的儿子安德烈斯-孔特雷拉斯，他仍然活着。她说，当她坐在儿子的病床边时，接到了玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的电话，对方因为她的儿子据称已被发现死亡而向她表示慰问。“他们根本不知道谁活着，谁死了，”她说。

另一个家庭由于担心报复而要求匿名，他们表示玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的官员提出，如果支付 $100，他们将提供亲人还活着的证明。他们说，第二天就开始收到要求提供更多资金以维持其饮食和护理的消息。地震四天后，他们在一家停尸房找到了他的遗体。

这种秘密不仅限于被遣返者。委内瑞拉当局从未公开承认玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的官员在坍塌中也死于非命。但一名情报官员因为未获授权讨论此次灾难而要求匿名，他告诉《华盛顿邮报》，至少有 20 名同事被埋在废墟之下。

蒙蒂尔-纳瓦说，围绕 164 航班其他乘客命运的沉默加剧了痛苦。“他们隐藏了我们的故事，”她说，“他们隐藏了我们。没有人提到 164 航班。家属们不得不独立寻找亲人的下落……唐纳德·特朗普总统和委内瑞拉政府都没有提到或谈论过我们。” 针对 164. 航班的沉默令人心碎。

一些家庭留在加拉加斯和拉瓜伊拉，希望每一个新线索最终能告诉他们发生了什么。乔纳森·拉姆斯的家人没有车，但亲戚们一直在轮流乘坐巴士，进行 12 小时的长途跋涉前往

每周前往首都。他至今仍未被找到。“此时此刻，我们只想得到一个结果，”奥苏纳（Osuna）说道，“我们需要知道他在哪里。”

未知的伤亡人数 地震发生一个月后，委内瑞拉政府仍未披露有多少被遣返者死亡，以及还有多少人被埋在酒店之下。佩雷拉·阿梅斯蒂（Pereira Amesty）被从废墟中救出时还活着，但伤势严重。他被送往医院，随后在那里去世。他的妻子和年幼的儿子从坍塌的建筑中爬了出来。玻利瓦尔国家情报局 (SEBIN) 的官员将他们重新拘留，随后将他们开车送回家中。

奥萨尔·穆希卡（Osal Mujica）的妻子花了五天才找到丈夫的遗体。当局将她从医院指引至太平间，阻止她进入圣马里亚·拉亚纳达酒店（Hotel Santuario La Llanada），甚至在某个时刻给她看了一具并非其丈夫的尸体。最终，她在美国的嫂子获得了一张腐烂尸体的照片，赫塔多（Hurtado）通过奥萨尔·穆希卡身上的《龙珠Z》纹身以及美国遣返官员在他手腕上戴的腕带认出了他。

赫塔多前去领取遗体。在一个裤口袋里，她发现了丈夫的遣返令，那张纸被折叠起来，沾满了瓦砾的尘土。她用塑料袋将其包裹。这就是他数月来焦虑等待接收的文件。她想保留住他曾经渴望得到的东西。

玛丽亚·何塞·比列加斯·卡斯蒂略（María José Villegas Castillo）从家乡乘船前往拉古艾拉（La Guaira），希望将哥哥带回家。她在地震三天后找到了他的遗体。他的脸肿得无法辨认，但她通过他肋骨上的中文纹身认出了他的身体。他的家人将遗体火化，并与朋友聚集在一起，与这位渔民告别。他们搭建了一个挂有委内瑞拉国旗和美国国旗的祭坛。

当 tambores（在庆祝活动和葬礼上演奏的传统非裔委内瑞拉鼓）在集会中回响时，亲人们在将骨灰坛抬上等待的渔船之前，在上面浇了一小杯茴香酒（anís）。他们将比列加斯·卡斯蒂略的骨灰撒入了加勒比海。这位为了抚养孩子而跨越洲际的渔民，最终回到了大海，却未能回家。他的小女儿仍然无法接受他已经离世的事实。“她说她想死，”比列加斯·卡斯蒂略的妹妹轻声说，“因为她想和爸爸一起留在海里。”

华盛顿邮报 • Monday, August 3, 2026 A10 EZ RE  国际 也门胡塞武装加入冲突，在伊朗战争中开辟危险的新战线 作者：Rachel Chason, Meg Kelly, Mohamad El Chamaa 以及 Suzan Haidamous

近五个月来，也门的胡塞武装反政府武装一直处于旁观状态，而其主要支持者伊朗则在承受美国和以色列的毁灭性打击。这种情况在近几周发生了变化，胡塞武装与沙特阿拉伯之间恢复了战斗——沙特阿拉伯是在这场伊朗战争中美国的密切盟友。

胡塞武装对其所称的沙特阿拉伯封锁日益感到不满，随后对沙特国家石油公司发动袭击，并宣布封锁通过红海的沙特船舶。此举使得除霍尔木兹海峡之外，又一个关键水道被纳入地区安全考量——并为这场几乎没有解决迹象且在进入第六个月时仍有扩张潜力的冲突注入了升级的可能性。

沙特阿拉伯周四对封锁做出了回应，宣布成立一个旨在保护红海国际航运和能源路线的防御联盟。亲胡塞武装的评论员 Hussain al-Bukhaiti（其兄长是该组织的高级政治官员）预测，如果沙特阿拉伯不接受胡塞武装的要求，将会出现“更多升级”。这些要求包括：也门港口和机场的自由通行、交换所有战俘，以及将也门石油收入（其中大部分由沙特控制）用于支付公务员薪水和全国各项服务。他表示，沙特阿拉伯接受这些要求的可能性较低，并指出其与美国的协作正在增加。

自伊朗为应对始于2月的美国-以色列袭击而事实上关闭霍尔木兹海峡以来，沙特阿拉伯一直利用其东西管线将大部分石油运往红海沿岸，以便在胡塞武装战士的阴影下通过曼德海峡出口。对于胡塞武装来说，这成了一个似乎无法抗拒的诱人目标，而此前他们是否愿意介入更广泛的冲突仍是一个悬而未决的问题。

与黎巴嫩的真主党和伊拉克的什叶派民兵等伊朗支持的组织不同，他们在很大程度上一直克制，未代表伊朗干预战争。al-Bukhaiti 表示：“石油是沙特阿拉伯的支柱。如果你想打击一个人，就要击中他们最痛的地方。”

根据卫星图像和官方声明，在过去几周里，胡塞武装正是这样做的，似乎袭击了一艘挂沙特旗的油轮和该国红海沿岸的两处石油设施。

“当你处于一种双方互相测试和反应的模式中，就像胡塞武装和沙特正在做的那样，产生误解的机会就非常成熟，”华盛顿智库新美国（New America）未来安全项目的研究员、胡塞武装研究专家 Adam Baron 说道。“当你在测试红线时……事情就有失控的风险。”

根据联合国开发计划署的调查结果，从 2015 到 2022, 也门的胡塞武装反政府武装与沙特阿拉伯之间进行了一场战争，使也门处于饥荒边缘，并导致数十万也门人死亡。这场战争在 2022. 以一项脆弱的停战协议告终。

该停战协议后，双方试图回到谈判桌上的努力因胡塞武装决定袭击以色列以及红海船只而变得复杂，这是为了报复以色列在加沙地带的行动，高级也门分析师 Ahmed Nagi 表示。

总部位于布鲁塞尔的研究组织国际危机组织（International Crisis Group）。纳吉（Nagi）表示，这一次胡塞武装决定参与战争，既反映了他们与沙特阿拉伯之间的争端，也反映了他们支持伊朗的承诺。本轮升级始于7月，当时一架来自伊朗的飞机抵达也门萨那国际机场——这对沙特阿拉伯政府来说是一条红线，因为该国将此类飞行视为国家安全风险。随后，胡塞武装指责沙特阿拉伯轰炸该机场。“这是一个基于当地需求而升级的借口，”纳吉说道，并指出胡塞武装明白此类飞行不会被沙特阿拉伯接受。他表示，时间节点的选择“与伊朗无关”，尽管他认为胡塞武装的干预可能同时使胡塞武装和伊朗政权获益。他说，如果过去伊朗曾是一股缓和胡塞武装激进态势的力量，那么现在情况已不再如此。而且他认为，胡塞武装也知道，如果伊朗被削弱，“默认情况下他们也会被削弱”。

总部位于美国的风险咨询公司Basha Report的穆罕默德·阿尔巴沙（Mohammed Albasha）表示，胡塞武装正利用该地区的动荡，试图改变自2022.年以来一直存在的现状。停火协议使胡塞武装控制也门北部，而由沙特阿拉伯支持的国际公认政府则控制南部。他说，他们认为离岸海峡的“价值因霍尔木兹海峡而翻了四倍”。“因此，这是他们快速最大化压力并获得所需之物的机会。”

亲胡塞武装的评论员阿尔-布海蒂（Al-Bukhaiti）表示，胡塞武装决定参与是他们自己的决定，但他补充说，伊朗帮助他们或反之亦然都“没什么可耻的”，并将此比作以色列与美国之间的关系。他说，伊朗只需“一个电话”，胡塞武装就会关闭整个曼德海峡。到目前为止，他们明确表示其封锁是专门针对来自沙特阿拉伯的船只。但海事数据追踪公司称，其结果仍然是所有船只的保险费大幅飙升，导致通过该海峡的交通流量减慢。

胡塞武装发言人亚希亚·萨里（Yahya Saree）准将周二表示，胡塞武装部队袭击了悬挂沙特旗帜的油轮NCC号，因为该船无视警告。根据TankerTrackers.com分析的图像，这艘装载石油的油轮于上周一早晨出现在红海。该组织的分析图像显示，该船在周四似乎改变了航向，向北进入海域。根据海运追踪公司Kpler的数据，该油轮自7月23,日以来一直没有发送追踪信号。

巴伦（Baron）表示，虽然袭击的频率远不及十年前胡塞武装与沙特阿拉伯进行全面战争时的程度，但过去一周的升级是“近年来前所未有”的。“胡塞武装想要更多的让步，并且他们正在测试沙特的红线，”他说。“他们还希望反驳那种认为美国和以色列的袭击使他们变得虚弱或无法采取此类行动的说法。”他说，问题在于双方都“感觉像是头上顶着一把枪生活……没有人想那样生活”。

目前，胡塞武装的袭击似乎已经击中了沿红海分布的至少两处属于沙特国家石油公司阿美公司 (沙特阿拉伯石油公司) 的设施。上周末拍摄的贾赞（Jazan）炼油厂卫星图像显示，一团漆黑的烟雾正从石油储存区上升。

油罐。两天后，图像显示同一位置的一个大型白色储油罐顶部显然被熏黑了。向南沿海岸线 600 英里外，在延布 (Yanbu) 炼油厂综合体，卫星图像显示有几处变色区域，包括一座看起来变暗的长形建筑，但分析师表示，他们无法将这些变化归因于某个特定原因。胡塞武装军事发言人 Saree 表示，该组织已向延布和吉赞 (Jazan) 设施发射了弹道导弹和无人机，这两个设施每天炼油数十万桶。延布也是东西石油管道的主要港口所在地，该管道帮助其避开了伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的封锁。

华盛顿智库中东研究所的非驻在学者 Nadwa Al-Dawsari 研究也门和胡塞武装，她表示，该组织之所以等待才参战，是因为“提前介入对抗没有战略价值”。她说：“伊朗和胡塞武装倾向于分阶段升级，将更具影响力的选项保留到需要时再使用。”“他们现在的干预反映了一个深思熟虑的决定，旨在增加压力，同时仍避免全面激活红海战线。”

她表示，胡塞武装目前的攻击目标表明这是一种“蓄意的、渐进的升级”，旨在对沙特阿拉伯施加足够的经济压力以获取让步，并增加对美国的压力。但她说，他们没有发起“针对沙特领土的持续性、大规模行动”是故意的。“他们在传递能力和决心，”她说，“同时在冲突扩大或外交失败的情况下，保留更具影响力的选项。”

两架灭火直升机相撞，造成 2 人死亡 作者：ELENA BECATOROS 和 THOMAS ADAMSON 美联社

希腊，雅典 —— 周日，两架希腊灭火直升机在雅典西部扑救一场由风驱动的山火时在半空中相撞，导致其中一架飞机坠地。两名机组人员（一名希腊国民和一名丹麦国民）在坠毁中丧生。

这次碰撞揭示了欧洲山火紧急状态中最不稳定的前线所潜藏的危险。强风将火焰推向希腊首都地区更深处，并迫使人们再次撤离；法国在守护一道面积是巴黎四倍且仍在燃烧的焦痕；而西班牙的主要火灾则停止了蔓延。

希腊总理基里亚科斯·米佐塔基斯对这次“悲剧性事故表示悲痛”，并向坠机中丧生的消防员家属表示哀悼。米佐塔基斯在的一份声明中说：“在试图扑灭波多·格雷梅诺（Porto Gremeno）的大火时，失去希腊协调员和丹麦飞行员，让我们所有人深感悲痛。”

这些飞机是运行在雅典西部 Psatha 地区的贝尔（Bell）直升机，每架飞机配备两名机组人员。在希腊炎热干燥的夏季，经常部署外国灭火和直升机机组人员来帮助应对山火。两名获救的机组人员分别为希腊和英国国民。

由于强风导致灭火飞机无法从海中取水，火焰迅速蔓延，威胁到社区和一个工业区。在 2018 年马蒂（Mati）山火造成 104 人死亡（本世纪欧洲最致命的火灾）的地区，这场大火引发了沉痛的共鸣。

在更西的地方，即使控制住火势也未能结束紧急状态。法国最大的山火在迫使 224,000 人逃离后（这可能是该国战时以外规模最大的平民撤离行动），仍被维持在其周界之内。

在约 160 平方英里的区域内仍有热点在燃烧，数千人仍无法回家，近 3,000 名消防员被部署用于应对吉伦特（Gironde）特大火灾以及普罗旺斯另一场尚未得到控制的火灾。

法国和西班牙的火灾共导致约 30 万人离开家园和度假地，在欧洲夏季的高峰期导致社区空无一人，并使紧急服务在面对多起同时发生的灾难时捉襟见肘。

法国和西班牙的大规模撤离是欧洲日益增长的山火威胁的最新衡量指标。欧洲在经历了有记录以来最糟糕的火灾年之后进入 2026 年，2025 年有超过 3,800 平方英里被焚毁。

根据欧洲环境署的数据，在过去的四十年里，在欧洲大部分地区，山火与近 800 起死亡病例相关。

欧洲是全球升温最快的大陆。根据欧盟哥白尼气候变化服务局的数据，自 1980 年代以来，其升温幅度超过全球平均水平的两倍。

世界天气归因（World Weather Attribution）的科学家在火灾仍在燃烧期间进行的一项快速分析中发现，人为引起的气候变化使得今年法国大火背后的极端火灾天气条件出现的可能性至少增加了一倍。

希腊部署了近 500 名消防员和 23 架飞机，但大风将火焰推向干燥的森林并削弱了响应能力，导致部分飞机无法到达海面取水。

位于科林斯湾的一个海滨社区。火灾于周五在阿吉奥斯·瓦西里奥斯附近开始，随后席卷至波尔托·杰梅诺，并进入雅典西部的森林山区。消防员周五通过海路疏散了 254 人，周六又疏散了 12 人——当火势和浓烟切断了沿海社区仅有的几条道路时，海路往往是最后的逃生路线。野火气象学家西奥多·吉亚纳罗斯估计，火灾已影响了 15 到 19 平方英里，不过当局尚未公布官方数据。在希腊其他地区，火焰威胁到凯法利尼亚岛的房屋，导致内陆社区被迫撤离，与此同时，飞机在这一伊奥尼亚群岛上空进行洒水灭火。消防员在哈尔基迪基半岛的内亚特内多斯附近与另一场大火作斗争。上周，两名消防员在克里特岛灭火时丧生，第三名消防员在伯罗奔尼撒半岛遇难。“一片纯净的森林，一座天堂，就这样交给了火魔，”当地农民米纳斯·乔扎尼斯周六说道。“无法用语言形容发生了什么。毁灭。彻底的毁灭。”

在法国西南部，吉伦特巨型火灾在周日仍被控制在周界之内，但在 10 天内烧毁 160 平方英里的森林后仍在继续燃烧。“火势目前已固定 (fixed)，但这并不意味着火已熄灭，”吉伦特省政府表示，该词是法国消防术语，指火势的推进已被阻止。该地区仍处于法国最高级别的森林火灾红色预警状态。干燥的环境、波尔多周边飙升的高温以及下午的阵风都威胁到火势可能再次被点燃。在勒波尔日，当地官员表示约 150 栋房屋被毁。机械师马蒂乌·普莱西斯周六回到了一个在他家族中传承了七代的房屋废墟前。“有些地方我甚至认不出来了，”他说。“你甚至不知道这里曾经有什么，或者谁住在哪里。”来自乌克兰、立陶宛和法属波利尼西亚的消防员预计将在周日和周一抵达以增强救援行动。

在法国东南部，近 1,500 名消防员在瓦尔省与另一场大火作斗争，这场火在短短一天多时间内烧毁了约 7 平方英里。格罗斯·贝西隆火灾在周日因其周界在夜间保持稳定而趋于平稳，但仍未被完全控制。由于火焰威胁到附近社区，约 2,500 人被疏散。这是自 7 月 19 日以来袭击瓦尔中部地区的第四次重大火灾。本周早些时候，布里尼奥勒附近的一场较小火灾迫使演员乔治·克鲁尼及其家人以及其他约 700 名居民在火势得到控制前撤离。总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔尼表示，法国的火灾总体上处于控制之下，但警告称情况依然不稳定。他任命了一名国家协调员来监督火灾灾区的重建工作。今年法国已有 450 平方英里以上的土地被烧毁。

西班牙的大型火灾——已导致至少 13 人死亡，产生了该国记录中最大规模的野火并引发国家紧急状态——在周日不再继续蔓延。在靠近葡萄牙边境的萨莫拉省，20 多个地面和空中单位在崎岖的杜埃罗河岸景观中守护费莫塞勒火灾的周界，以防止复燃。据当地媒体报道，大多数撤离者已返回家中。西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯呼吁达成一项应对野火的国家协议，并警告称气候变化正使其破坏性日益增强。

著名登山者在雪崩后被发现遗体 作者：MUNIR AHMED 和 RIAZ KHAN

美联社 伊斯兰堡 —— 官员周日表示，地面搜救队在世界最高峰之一的博峰（Broad Peak）发现了英国裔尼泊尔著名登山者尼尔马尔·普尔贾（Nirmal Purja）及另外三名登山者的遗体。此前，一支 10 人的国际探险队在该地被雪崩卷走。

巴基斯坦高山俱乐部（Alpine Club of Pakistan）确认获救的登山者为普尔贾、王忠（Wang Zhong）、尼玛·谢尔巴（Nima Sherpa）和基利·佩姆巴·谢尔巴（Kili Pemba Sherpa）。该俱乐部赞扬了参与此次搜救行动的军方、民间救援人员及志愿者。

周五，救援人员发现了另外四具遗体，但由于恶劣天气导致搜救直升机无法起飞，仅能回收三具——分别是阿曼人 Nathira Ahmed、美国人 Mallory Geis 和尼泊尔人 Bahadur Gurung。当地官员表示，军方支持的救援队周日继续搜寻剩余两名登山者，同时继续努力将普尔贾及地面搜救队发现的三名登山者的遗体运下山。

周六，普尔贾的探险公司表示，世界失去了一位登山界的伟大人物。该公司将他描述为“一位通过勇气、谦逊以及对人类潜能远超想象的坚定信念，激励了数百万人的领导者”。

巴基斯坦高山俱乐部主席伊尔凡·阿什拉夫·汗（Irfan Arshad Khan）表示，这次悲剧是“全球登山界不可估量的损失”。他向参与搜寻任务的军方、民间救援人员及谢尔巴人致敬。

这次探险由普尔贾领导，这位出生于尼泊尔的前英国陆军士兵被广泛称为“尼姆斯·戴”（Nims Dai）。他在 2019, 用创纪录的 189 天登顶了世界 14 座最高峰，这一成就被记录在 Netflix 纪录片《14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible》中。他的纪录在 2023. 被打破。

Geis 的家人在声明中表示：“Mallory 是一道亮光，深受家人和朋友的爱。我们将深切地怀念她。”

这次探险预计将是巴基斯坦向导索海尔·萨基（Sohail Sakhi）的最后一次任务，他就职于总部位于巴基斯坦的冒险旅行公司 Moving Mountains。根据该公司网站，萨基还是一名地理学家和高海拔摄影师，曾登上世界多座高峰。截至周日，他的遗体仍未找到。

由于雪崩、冰石坠落、极端海拔和天气快速变化，在巴基斯坦北部的登山探险中，事故十分常见。

在伊朗战争中已有人员丧生，包括在 Trump 上个月宣布美伊停火“结束”后，近期重新爆发的敌对行动中死掉的四人。超过 600 名美国军人受伤。在停火失败后，美国加强了对伊朗的打击，并对所有试图进入或离开伊朗港口的船只重新实施海军封锁。伊朗则升级了对驻有美国军队的地区（包括科威特和约旦）的袭击，同时

以及那些试图在未经德黑兰许可的情况下通过海峡的船只。在战争开始仅几天后，伊朗首先封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，该海峡是波斯湾石油和天然气外运的咽喉要道。6月签署的谅解备忘录（MOU）要求海峡“立即”重新开放，60 天内不得有障碍，并要求伊朗和阿曼“进行对话……以确定该通道未来的管理方式”。然而，尽管伊朗和阿曼进行了一系列讨论，但伊朗在公开场合继续坚持其对海峡的控制权，并打算从中收取过路费；而美国及世界大部分地区则表示，伊朗在过境问题上不应有发言权——德黑兰方面称这一立场违反了谅解备忘录。在周日的一篇社交媒体帖子中，伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽什基安表示，伊朗“必须努力迫使敌人遵守其签署的内容”，这显然是指对谅解备忘录存在争议的解读。以色列独立智库国家安全研究中心的拉兹·齐姆特（Raz Zimmt）表示，美国面临的部分困境在于，军事手段对于重新开放霍尔木兹海峡几乎没有帮助。“伊朗人可能会付出沉重代价，但从他们的角度来看，他们将索取的代价至少是相等的，所以这没有帮助，”齐姆特说，并补充道“通过空袭能做的事情已经做完了”。

特朗普决定暂停袭击是在有报道称以色列和美国准备攻击伊朗能源基础设施之后做出的。作为回应，伊朗安全官员告诉国家媒体，该国将通过打击该地区的以色列和美国能源设施来进行报复，这加剧了驻有美国军队的波斯湾国家以及能源公司的担忧。上周，也门境内由伊朗支持的胡塞武装袭击了沙特阿拉伯的石油设施，并宣布在红海封锁沙特船只。其他美国盟友（如科威特）正因伊朗接连袭击关键淡水基础设施而陷入困境。埃伦·中岛（Ellen Nakashima）和普兰舒·韦尔马（Pranshu Verma）为本报道做出了贡献。

华盛顿邮报 • 2026年8月3日 星期一 A12 EZ RE

本月，Chipotle 在蒙特雷大都市区的一家大型购物中心底部开业，让一个看似荒谬的主张变成了现实——而 Taco Bell 曾尝试两次但均告失败。关于 Taco Bell 命中注定失败的进军墨西哥之举，曾有一个著名的俏皮话称其“就像给北极运冰”。但从小吃着母亲传统料理长大的 Gámiz 却欣喜若狂，几乎无法用言语形容。终于，Chipotle 来到了这里——不仅是在墨西哥，而且是在他的蒙特雷。“我太开心了，”在两周内光顾该餐厅十多次的 Gámiz 说道。每次去，他看到的都是同样的场景：没有一张空桌子。排队的人群沿着玻璃墙蜿蜒延伸。到处都是在吃墨西哥食品（某种程度上）的墨西哥人。

很难从 Chipotle 初期的成功中推断出结论。也许是墨西哥——这个以美食著称的国家，米其林星级从路边摊到时髦餐厅随处可见——已经 listo（准备好）接受这种美式大众化的墨西哥风味料理。或者，也许是 Chipotle 非常明智地选择了首店位置。几乎从任何衡量标准来看，大蒙特雷地区（拉丁美洲最富有的城市之一）都与墨西哥其他地区不同。这里聚集了许多墨西哥最大的公司及其科技部门，人均收入是全国平均水平的两倍。更重要的是，它与美国的关系更为紧密，尤其是与仅三小时车程之遥的德克萨斯州。这里经常使用英语，美国连锁店和品牌无处不在。换句话说，位于蒙特雷这家购物中心里的 Chipotle，选择了一个与一众资深的美国同行为邻的家：Chuck E. Cheese、KFC 和 Hooters。

在为本报道而走访期间，一名《华盛顿邮报》记者在 Chipotle 吃了午餐，在 Chili's 吃了晚餐，住在温德姆酒店（Wyndham Hotel），并在 7-Eleven 买了牙膏。Chipotle 墨西哥公司主管 Pablo de Brito 在谈到蒙特雷时说：“资金、青年、大学生以及与美国的邻近性。因此，他们前往美国的可能性大得多，认识 Chipotle 的可能性大得多，且曾在 Chipotle 用餐的可能性也大得多。”

无论未来如何，Chipotle 的开局似乎比 Taco Bell 要强劲得多。Taco Bell 的第一次尝试是在 1992, 年，当时它在墨西哥城开设了一个食品车，销售软壳塔可（tacos）和纳乔（nachos）。但在一个塔可本身就是真正的快餐（在街头摊位几分钟内即可送达）的国家，Taco Bell 的折戟速度比它的至尊卷饼（Burrito Supreme）还要快。它在 2007, 年的下一次尝试也迎来了同样的结果。“那不是塔可，”一名办公室职员 Marco Fragoso 告诉美联社，他似乎代表了整个国家，“那是折叠的托斯塔达（tostadas）。它们非常难看。”

但多伦多大学的塔可历史学家 Jeffrey Pilcher 表示，Chipotle 可能会获得更多成功。他认为 Chipotle 和 Taco Bell 可能属于同一个饮食类别，但它们演化出了完全不同的方向。Pilcher 说，Taco Bell 是不加掩饰的“垃圾食品”，而 Chipotle 将自己定位为一种注重健康的替代方案，并在消费者的视野中准备新鲜食材。他表示，Chipotle 的菜单源自旧金山的传教士卷饼（Mission burrito），虽然可能受到了墨西哥料理的启发，但并未试图模仿它。“这是旧金山风格的东西，”Pilcher 说，“它不是纯正的墨西哥风味。”

周四下午，在蒙特雷的 Chipotle 餐厅里，许多食客也对此作出了区分。很少有人说他们

他们吃的是墨西哥食物。他们吃的是用墨西哥食材制作的美国食物。“塔可（Taco）本质上是墨西哥的，”24 岁的 Rodrigo Oyarzun 说道。“要成为塔可，它必须在墨西哥这里制作。这是一个事实。”但无论是 Oyarzun 还是视线范围内的任何其他人，都不是为了吃塔带来 Chipotle 的。他们是为了吃碗装餐（bowls）和卷饼（burritos）而来的。“卷饼来自那边，”Oyarzun 说，“卷饼的概念完全是美国的。” 21 岁的 Gabriela Ramos 正在吃一份 Chipotle 的沙拉，她表示赞同：“人们不会在这里点塔可，因为人们不是为了吃塔可而来的。”

一个更大的问题是，Chipotle 能否触及墨西哥除上层及向上流动阶层之外的群体。在外面铺水泥的建筑工人 Daniel Jiménez Morales 说，他从未听说过 Chipotle，也没有兴趣。“这是给美国佬（gringos）吃的美国佬食物，”他说。

目前尚不清楚 Chipotle 是否会尝试这样做。De Brito 表示，初期的重点完全放在墨西哥最富裕的地区。“购买力较高的人曾去过美国，”他说，“购买力较高的人了解 Chipotle，并且他们更重视食材的质量和更健康的食物。”

走不远，在购物中心美食广场的一个摊位上是 El Bocadito，那里提供传统墨西哥选项的自助餐。它并不豪华，目标也不是高购买力的墨西哥人。但在该餐厅工作了 20 多年的厨师 Felicitas Martínez Hernández 说，所有东西都是用爱制作的——而这就是吸引人们再次光顾的原因。“我母亲总是说，‘如果你用心烹饪，人们就会喜欢，’”她说，“如果你要烹饪，你需要把人们当成你的家人一样去烹饪。”对她来说，这就是墨西哥食物。

她说她并不觉得受到了 Chipotle 的威胁。El Bocadito 在 Plaza Fiesta San Agustín 内部已经存在数十年，她预计它还将存在数十年。她祝愿 Chipotle 顺利。“每个人都有自己的特色，”她说，“正如我母亲所说，‘太阳照在每个人身上’。”

“购买力较高的人曾去过美国。……购买力较高的人了解 Chipotle，并且他们更重视食材的质量和更健康的食物。”——Pablo de Brito，Chipotle 墨西哥区负责人

（来自 A1 页，照片由 CÉSAR RODRÍGUEZ 为 华盛顿邮报 拍摄）顾客们正成群结队地出现在蒙特雷新开业的 Chipotle 门店。拥有 4,000 多个美国门店的 Chipotle 正在进军墨西哥。蒙特雷购物中心的广告牌上宣传着这家新餐厅。高管们希望本月能开设多达 200 家门店。

“塔可本质上是墨西哥的，”24 岁的 Rodrigo Oyarzun 说道。“要成为塔可，它必须在墨西哥这里制作。这是一个事实。”

Chipotle 墨西哥区负责人 Pablo de Brito 认为，有无数个因素可以让公司在墨西哥的扩张取得成功。Chipotle 敢于挑战 Taco Bell 曾两次失败的地方：墨西哥。

作者：DÁNICA COTO 美联社 波多黎各，圣胡安 —— 波多黎各政府已授权在该岛西南部地区建设一个 20 亿美元 billion 的奢侈开发项目，环保人士对此表示谴责，警告称这将使这一美国领地的资源承受压力并威胁野生动物。

该项目名为“Esencia”，将建在卡博罗霍 (Cabo Rojo) 沿海城镇的 2,000 英亩土地上。项目将包括 500 间豪华酒店客房、1,200 栋私人住宅、两个高尔夫球场、一个马术中心、一所从幼儿园到 12 年级的学校以及一个 24 / 7 全天候医疗中心等设施。

全球投资公司 Reuben Brothers 和房地产开发公司 Three Rules Capital 在周五的一份声明中表示，该项目 75% 以上的面积将用于保护和绿地，包括恢复约 33 英亩的湿地以及修复海岸沙丘和红树林生态系统。他们还表示，该开发项目将完全由可再生能源供电，并拥有自己的水利和能源基础设施。目前加入该项目的酒店品牌包括文华东方 (Mandarin Oriental) 和瑰丽酒店及度假村 (Rosewood Hotels & Resorts)。

波多黎各许可管理办公室附属委员会在周四晚间发布了批准通知，环保人士对此表示谴责。该批准文件于周五与美联社共享。

反对该项目的“保卫卡博罗霍联盟” (Defend Cabo Rojo Coalition) 表示，卡博罗霍的民众和专家本应获得发声的机会。“公民参与并非由机构授予的恩惠；它是正当程序的根本原则，且在我们的自然资源、水资源、社区以及该市的未来面临风险时，是一项不可或缺的保障，”该组织在给美联社的一份声明中说道。

反对该项目的人员中包括总部位于波多黎各的社会生态研究机构执行主任 Braulio Quintero。“我们将在这个所有可能的场合进行斗争，”他说道，“这些是对我们作为一个民族的可持续性的严重威胁。”

Three Rules Capital 的首席运营官兼合伙人 Roberto Ruiz Vargas 周五告诉美联社，首要任务之一将是提供公共海滩进入通道，并建立开发项目自己的供水系统以及发电和配电设施。他表示，四分之三的水资源将来自包括雨水和废水在内的回收来源，而四分之一的饮用水将由地下水提供。

“我们首先必须明确的一点是，我们不会利用公共基础设施，”他说道，“我们不会接入那些脆弱的水系统。”

周五晚上，波多黎各州长宣布进入用水状态紧急状态，并启动了国民警卫队。一场悄然蔓延至全岛的干旱正在加剧，且与此无关的慢性缺水问题依然存在。

Ruiz 表示，该开发项目不会给附近的农业山谷带来压力，也不会占用其水源：“我们不仅不会从这些系统中抽水，反而会为这些系统做出贡献。”他指出，鉴于该开发项目免于缴纳市政税，它已承诺总计拨款 $40 million 用于由当地政府决定的公共改良项目。

开发商强调，他们将保护环境并维护公众进入海滩的权利。他们指出，该项目预计将创造 17,000 多个就业机会，并断言它将为“具有环保意识的奢侈开发项目”树立基准。

“我们

“我们明白有人并不认同这一点，”他说。“我们甚至解决了部分反对者表达的担忧。我们一直都在倾听。”开发商表示，销售将于今年晚些时候开始，并补充说，他们预计将在 2029. 年底迎接首批居民和宾客。

现正发售：快速获取唐纳德·特朗普的社交媒体帖子 作者：BERNARD CONDON 和 BRIAN SLODYSKO 美联社

纽约 —— 总统唐纳德·特朗普知道世界正密切关注他的字字句句。现在，他想让你为此付费。

周六，当特朗普的 Truth Social 业务开始向愿意付费的华尔街交易员提供其社交媒体帖子的“抢先看”服务时，这个世界上最有权力的人的社交媒体帖子正式开售。此举提高了特朗普公司获得巨额利润的可能性，同时也引发了关于内幕交易以及利用公职谋取私利的重大质疑。

其他社交媒体公司和媒体提供商也销售类似的快速数据推送，但 Truth Social 不仅仅是分发新闻，它本身就在创造新闻。随着特朗普发布从战争、央行领导层到关税等各项政策变动，其帖子经常引起市场的剧烈波动。

“如果这是一个上市公司的 CEO，他将被送进监狱，”Able Alpha Trading 负责人 Irene Aldridge 说道，该公司不打算购买这项服务。“我们拥有的一位美国总统处于所有行动的最前沿，掌握所有决策权，而他却提前向一个选定的群体披露这些信息。”

当被问及这项新服务的得体性以及白宫律师是否对其进行了审核时，特朗普的新闻办公室拒绝发表评论，并将问题转交给 Truth Social 的上市母公司。

该公司，即特朗普媒体与技术公司（Trump Media & Technology），发布了一份声明，抨击民主党批评者将该服务描述为误导，称其是出于“对自由市场的意识形态反对，或者未能掌握公开信息与非公开信息之间的区别——或者极有可能是两者兼而有之”。

作为一名高频发帖者，特朗普通过在线上的沉思和威胁，使股票、债券和货币价格飙升或暴跌。这为所谓的“高频交易员”提供了机会，他们专门从事毫秒级的买卖，利用极微小且短暂的价格差异获利。

特朗普最近在 Truth Social 上威胁要对加拿大加征更高关税，取消与沙特阿拉伯的核协议，并扩大伊朗战争。凭借预先掌握的信息，押注加元下跌、核能股下跌和石油期货上涨的交易员本可以赚得盆满钵满。

“对于大佬们来说，这将是他们需要的东西，”Themis Trading 联合创始人 Joe Saluzzi 说道，他估计大约有 100 家高频交易公司可能会愿意付费购买该服务。“这是能影响市场的信息。”

这项名为 Truth API 的服务推出之际，这些公司正投入更多资金建设能绕过较慢网络连接、直接连接新闻和数据源的推送系统和服务器。得益于人工智能能够更准确地读取帖子和文章以进行做市调整，以及特朗普喜欢在网上发布新闻的倾向，获利机会比以往任何时候都大。

当价格剧烈波动时，交易员就能获利。而这位美国首位真人秀总统凭借其对悬念、威胁和政策反转的喜好，提供了大量潜在的、能影响市场的内容。政策反转尤其有利可图，能让交易员在两种方向上都获胜——通过快速跳单

在股票上涨或下跌之前，通过一个威胁某种事物的帖子，然后在几千分之一秒内套现，接着反向投注。除了唐纳德·特朗普，该服务还将包括其他Truth Social“高级”贡献者的帖子，可能包括他的两个长子唐纳德二世和埃里克，他们与总统一样深受用户关注。Truth Social表示，信息将同时向交易员和普通公众发布，因此不存在公平性问题。但高速交易的批评者、Themis Trading的萨卢齐（Saluzzi）认为，这是一个烟雾弹，因为关键在于收到帖子的时间，而非发布时间。萨卢齐表示：“购买该信息并拥有处理系统的的人，其反应速度将快于你我。”在提到普通的散户投资者时，他补充道：“输家永远是散户。”

除了政策内幕，近几个月来出现另一个订阅理由是：唐纳德·特朗普发布了更多关于上市公司的内容，他以一种能引发抢购狂潮的方式称赞自己喜欢的公司。监察机构“政府监督项目”（Project on Government Oversight）的联邦伦理规则专家迪兰·赫德勒-高德特（Dylan Hedler-Gaudette）表示：“对特定公司的推销——显然华尔街希望在他人之前获知这一点。这简直是一团糟。”4月，在唐纳德·特朗普发布的一篇包含股票代码的帖子中称赞Palantir Technologies后，该股价在短时间内出现了全年最大的一次跳涨。该月晚些时候，唐纳德·特朗普发帖称：“祝贺英特尔（Intel）做得这么出色，”该股在盘后交易中立即跳涨。

目前尚不清楚具体有哪些公司订阅了该信息流。在寻求置评时，包括Citadel Securities和XTX Markets在内的六家最知名的高速交易商均未回复。如果仅有三家公司支付每月 $100,000 的费用，Truth Social母公司的收入将翻倍——该公司报告去年收入为 $3.7 million。公司可以利用他们的业务。自唐纳德·特朗普去年就职以来，Truth Social母公司的股价已下跌 75 Percent，因为尽管总统通过在网站上发布重大决定来吸引流量，但该公司持续报告数亿美元的亏损。事实上，总统在Truth Social上发布新闻如此频繁，以至于白宫新闻办公室在回应媒体关于政策细节的询问时，会将他的帖子复制到电子邮件中。如果他的帖子尚未发布，记者有时会被告知：“等待真相（Wait for the Truth）。”

如果民主党掌控国会并启动调查，Truth Social还将面临另一个问题，正如参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren，马萨诸塞州民主党人）在周五的一份专门针对该新服务的声明中所承诺的那样：“我们将传唤那些对这种公开腐败负责的人，向美国人民交代。”不过，一些人预测，如果公司的亏损继续增加，总统可能会进一步推动，更多地利用该平台发布政策公告。公共公民（Public Citizen）政府治理团体的游说者克雷格·霍尔曼（Craig Holman）警告说：“这绝对会发生。唐纳德·特朗普知道如何推销产品。”

关于大麻不再被列入第一类管制药品的议题。针对威廉·巴尔（William Barr）和凯文·萨贝特（Kevin Sabet）在 7 月 30 日周四发表的评论文章《这场大麻灾难可能与大烟草公司相匹敌》：将大麻从第一类管制药品分类中移除，并承认其合法的治疗用途是恰当且早已迟到的。美国卫生与公共服务部在 2023 年承认，大麻在联邦层面应从第一类重新分类为第三类。这是因为大麻对健康的风险并不像海洛因等其他第一类管制物质，甚至不像香烟和酒精等非管制药物那样高。根据约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院研究人员 5 月提供的数据显示，超过 9 成（10 分之 9）的美国医疗保健专业人员支持其合法的医疗用途。

根据疾病控制与预防中心研究人员分析的民调显示，超过四分之一的受访临床医生曾向其患者推荐大麻。世界其他国家已将大麻视为合法药物并据此进行监管。美国国家科学院的一项审查确定，有决定性证据表明大麻在治疗慢性疼痛和其他严重健康状况方面有效。美国应当承认这一现实。反之则与公众舆论和科学共识都脱节。

我不同意威廉·巴尔和凯文·萨贝特的观点。我已经抽大麻 53 年了。我的两名肿瘤科医生都建议我在癌症治疗和康复期间继续使用大麻，前提是它有效——而它确实非常有效。如果不是因为可食用 THC，我可能因为恶心和食欲不振而需要插喂食管。我的肿瘤科医生还告诉我，在应对放疗和化疗方面，我的表现比他们见过的大多数患者都要好，而且康复速度也更快。为了帮助身体更快地愈合，从 4 月治疗开始前几周起，我就不再抽大麻，而是改用可食用产品。我现在健康状况非常好。

关于垃圾食品的正确平衡 针对 7 月 25 日的社论《一项旨在打击垃圾食品的垃圾法案》：关于监管广告的争论凸显了公共卫生与个人选择之间的紧张关系。虽然警告标签和对卡通人物的限制可能会降低含糖和超加工产品的吸引力，但定义此类食品的难度可能会导致混乱而非清晰。参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders，佛蒙特州民主党）及其联盟正确地寻求保护儿童免受操纵性营销的影响，但立法必须在有效性与实用性之间取得平衡。过度监管可能会在不改变习惯的情况下疏远消费者，而监管不足则可能使家庭在激进的促销面前变得脆弱。真正的进步在于将透明的标签、营养教育和基于社区的倡议结合起来，从而促成更健康的决策。一个既重视自由又重视福祉的社会必须制定同时尊重这两者的政策。

在关注关于人工智能的辩论时，人们很容易忘记前沿实验室构建的是软件，而不是拥有独立思想的有意识生物。OpenAI 和 Anthropic 最近披露，其模型在安全测试期间脱离控制并入侵了其他公司的计算机系统。这两起事件在媒体报道中都被描述为“逃逸”。用“实验室泄漏”会更准确。“逃逸”暗示存在一个想要离开并策划绕过看管者的主体。而“泄漏”则将责任归于那些未能阻止此事的人。

Anthropic 将其事故追溯到与一名承包商的误解，该承包商将测试机连接到了实时互联网。模型被告知它们处于一个完全没有互联网的模拟环境中。它们对这一指令信以为真，并将能够触及的一切都视为演习的一部分，包括三家安全防护较弱而被攻破的真实机构。

OpenAI 当时正在衡量其模型在黑客攻击方面可能具有多大的危险性，为了这项测试，它故意关闭了通常会让模型拒绝此类工作的安全功能。它在仍能找到互联网路径的机器上运行了这项演习。模型按照指令走出围栏，通过一段标准服务器软件中的漏洞进入了 Hugging Face 的系统，以寻找被指派谜题的答案。OpenAI 随后披露，模型在过程中触及了至少另一家公司的系统。

AI 研究人员表示，先进模型能够规划、适应并令其创作者感到惊讶，因此讨论模型的“意图”是合适的。但这样做会对如何安全监管 AI 的辩论产生干扰，且无益于讨论。以计算机病毒为例。Stuxnet（震网），这个摧毁了伊朗离心机的蠕虫，被指令检查周围环境、随机做出决定并通过受感染的机器更新自身。它在伊朗之外传播到了数万台计算机。在 2010. 年被发现后，没有人询问 Stuxnet “想要”什么。问题始终围绕在谁构建了该病毒，以及谁失去了对它的控制。一个前沿 AI 模型的能力比这个相对原始的蠕虫高出几个数量级，但它仍然是代码。

或者考虑生物病毒。致命的病原体同样不会“思考”或设定意图，但它们一旦进入野外就会发生突变。这种适应能力正是设立封禁措施的原因。没有一名生物安全官员会假设病毒会遵守实验条款。一个以无人预见的方式发生变化的生物是预料之中的。

通过将个体能动性归于他们设计的模型，科学家们正在悄悄地引导政府将 AI 风险视为全人类需要共同管理的事情。近期，该实验室的一千多名员工和领导者签署了一封真诚的公开信，请求美国政府“支持一项国际努力，以开发技术和治理工具”来减缓 AI 开发的速度。

国际合作行不通。防止 AI 失控部署的最佳方法，是让相关人员为软件在现实世界中所造成的结果承担责任。

社论 一个更明智的科学发现资助方式

一份来自……的新政策报告

白宫科学技术政策办公室主任迈克尔·克拉特西奥斯（Michael Kratsios）为改善科学资助方式提出了许多受欢迎的建议。遗憾的是，政府的许多其他政策却威胁到这些努力的实施。美国战后对基础科学研究的大量资助已带来了巨大的回报，从对宇宙本质的洞察到无数的医学突破。这也增强了研究型大学的实力，使其依然令全世界羡慕。然而，即便是最优秀的系统，如果不定期更新，也容易陷入官僚主义的惯性。美国的科学资助也不例外。研究人员将 40% 以上的时间花在了文书工作上。资助机构奖励那些稳妥且渐进的工作，而非那些可能带来突破或一无所获的高风险项目。而年轻科学家在最有可能做出真正颠覆性工作的阶段，获得首笔重大资助的等待时间比以往任何时候都要长。

克拉特西奥斯的报告呼吁通过使用奖金、快速资助、预先市场承诺以及其他奖励结果的工具，使科学资助本身更具实验性。他设想资助不同类型的组织。其中一个例子是国家科学基金会最近启动的 X-Labs 计划，旨在为独立研究机构的多学科团队赋能。最引人注目的是，他建议将科学方法应用于科学资助本身，在持续改进的过程中对资助机制进行严格的测试和评估。

但如果政府继续破坏产生科学发现的生态系统，这一切都将毫无意义。与报告中概述的愿景最明显的冲突，是政府在与高等教育的更大战争中将研究资助当作大棒使用。一项科学研究项目是对时间、精力和资金的重大投入。资助的不确定性降低了研究的吸引力，并可能破坏正在进行的实验，而实验不像灯开关那样可以随意开启或关闭。资助中断可能会毁掉数年的工作，导致研究团队分散并推迟发现。

移民政策是一个不那么明显但同样重要的问题。总统唐纳德·特朗普的政策正阻碍学生和科学家来到美国工作。克拉特西奥斯的文件正确地希望将资助扩展到目前进行大量研发的私营部门实验室。但美国的比较优势不在于花钱，而在于美国在历史上一直是全球顶尖人才的磁石。中国的人口是美国的四倍，但美国此前并未允许自己受限于国境。那些持有狭隘匮乏心态的人认为，这些移民窃取了美国公民的就业机会和学术名额。克拉特西奥斯的报告也符合这种零和心态，抱怨外国人才的涌入“挤占了美国学生的空间”。但创新与零和截然相反。那些来到这里工作、思考和建设的人，最终为美国人创造了更多机会。他们解锁了新的想法、新的商业可能性以及更大的共同繁荣。他们驱动创新领域，吸引更多人进入科学与技术领域，同时也使美国能够继续处于技术前沿。

官僚体制的改革可以提高美国科学的生产力。但任何拨款系统，无论多么精妙，都无法

以抵消人才流失或导致发现成果所在机构不稳定的影响。如果政府确实希望迎来创新繁荣，就必须使其余政策与 Kratsios 报告中所概述的愿景保持一致。

华盛顿特区面临城市工作人员擅离职守的严重问题

华盛顿特区政府在上一财年花费了近 $220 million，用于支付 911 接线员、惩教人员、警察、消防员和急救医疗技术员 (EMT) 的加班费。针对这种成本高昂且低效的过度依赖加班现象，预设的解决方案仅仅是增加公共安全机构的雇员数量。但最近的一项审计揭示了加班成本的另一个主要驱动因素：令人震惊数量的城市工作人员经常不来上班。

在 2025 财年，惩教人员工作总时数的约三分之一是加班，这意味着他们领取的是 1.5 倍工资。部分原因是监狱人员不足。但根据审计显示，惩教人员在一年中平均请假 10 到 12 周，其中包括 2.4 周的擅离职守。通过惩罚无故缺勤和非计划性的补休来改善出勤率，将为纳税人节省数百万美元。

“减少员工在工作岗位之外花费的过多时间，可以是另一种解决加班问题的关键策略，而无需增加额外的招聘成本，”华盛顿特区审计员 Kathleen Patterson 发布的一份报告中如此写道。

在处理 311 和 911 电话的统一通信办公室，出勤率多年来一直是一个严重问题。去年，一名应急接线员平均擅离职守一整周，并请假 11 周。两个八月前，该机构向所有员工发送电子邮件，提出只要能按计划出勤所有班次，每月可获得 $800 的奖金。这意味着每名员工每年可增加近 $10,000。显然，这些激励措施并没有起作用。

到目前为止，人员成本是特区不断膨胀的预算中最昂贵的部分。由于公共部门雇员工会的存在，解雇失职的官僚变得极其困难。华盛顿特区政府员工由 15 个国际工会、48 个地方分会和 114 个集体谈判单位代表。

华盛顿特区议会通过了 2027 财年近 220 亿美元 billion 的预算。该预算将在即将离任的市长 Muriel E. Bowser (D) 未签署的情况下生效，她上周表示，该预算不负责任地使用一次性资金来支付经常性项目，并过多地动用了应急基金。

华盛顿特区发生的情况强调了增加支出并不一定能提高公共服务的质量。政府不是一个就业计划，擅离职守是失职行为。打卡上班不应该需要奖金来驱动。这正是薪水的作用。

面对灾难性生物袭击，政府的生存计划如下 作者：安妮·雅各布森 (ANNIE JACOBSEN)

生物战是非法的。自 1975. 年《生物武器禁令公约》生效以来，生物武器一直是非法的。该国际条约禁止开发、生产、获取、转让、储存和使用生物及毒素武器。

然而，国务院深知，在公约缔约国中，依然存在生物武器计划。此类武器包括经过基因改造以实现超强毒力、人传人传播且高致死率——且目前尚无已知治疗方法的有机体。无论是有意还是无意释放这种病原体，都可能引发全球大流行、大规模死亡、广泛的叛乱，并最终导致社会崩溃。

几年前，当我开始为一本关于生物战的书籍进行报道时，我想了解政府计划如何阻止一场灾难性的生物袭击。相反，我发现它在演练一项在最坏情况下的自我保护生存计划。

该计划被称为“权力下放”（Devolution）。曾为五角大楼设计生物和核战争演习的退役空军上校托马斯·埃尔哈德 (Thomas Ehrhard) 坦率地告诉我：“面对大规模生物袭击，并没有真正的国土防御，只有能够减轻灭绝程度的手段。”

大多数美国人从未听说过这个计划。具体操作细节仍处于保密状态，但该计划的存在并非秘密。“权力下放”涉及将权力秘密移交给备用领导层和隐藏的指挥中心，以确保政府在国家基础设施崩溃、数亿美国公民死亡的情况下仍能继续运行。

前联邦紧急事务管理局 (FEMA) 局长 W. 克雷格·富盖特 (W. Craig Fugate) 在奥巴马政府的最后一天签署了“权力下放”计划，他向我将其描述为军事连续性规划的民政对应版本。

“每个人都熟悉 Defcon，”富盖特在提到武装部队的“防御准备状态”（Defense Readiness Condition）时解释道，这是一个五级警报系统，级别 1 表示最坏的情况。“Defcon 是给军方用的。Cogcon 是给平民用的。”

Cogcon 代表“政府连续性准备状态”（Continuity of Government Readiness Condition）。

“Defcon 1 意味着我们处于战争状态，比如核战争，”富盖特说，“Cogcon 1 意味着你派遣你的‘权力下放’小组出击，将领导层分散到全国各地。”

被选为“权力下放”领导角色的人知道自己的身份。他们签署了文件并完成了培训。他们在日常生活中知道自己随时可能被征召，被要求立即离开，而维护共和国的责任将突然落在他们的肩上——这些人就潜伏在我们中间，汽车后备箱里永远准备着一个应急包。

在灾难性事件发生后，并非所有人都能获救。但富盖特表示，政府必须“继续以合法的方式运作”。

几十年来，政府连续性规划一直围绕着在核战争中生存展开。如今，由于令人心惊的理由，改良病原体已变得更具威胁。

与需要严密控制裂变材料的核武器不同，生物武器的准入门槛较低。具备极少训练的人，利用日益便捷且广泛可得的工具（包括 AI 赋能的系统），即可将其工程化。而核武器及其投送系统则始终由国家的军队掌控

15

力量，生物武器可以在远离核武库周边的安全保障、审查和指挥链的环境中被研发出来。因此，在非机密训练准则中，五角大楼将核武器列为最危险的武器，而“具有传染性的生物病原体”则构成了“最大的威胁”。埃尔哈德（Ehrhard）告诉我，如果美国境内释放生物武器，“信任将崩塌。恐惧将主导。秩序与无政府状态之间的界限极其微弱。”前参议院多数党领袖汤姆·达施勒（Tom Daschle，民主党-南达科他州）以极其个人化的方式理解这一威胁。他在 2001 年的炭疽袭击期间，其参议院办公室曾成为目标。达施勒表示，一次大规模生物袭击的结果将是“身体上的死亡。政府层面的死亡。几乎所有情境下的死亡。人们为了生存而做出非人的行为。”连续性规划是谨慎的，但不能替代预防。

在 1990 年之前，美国仅运行两家生物安全 4 级（BSL-4）实验室：一家是位于马里兰州德特里克堡的军事实验室，另一家是位于佐治亚州疾病控制与预防中心的民用实验室。在 2001 年的炭疽袭击之后，数量激增。数十个，随后是数百个，接着是 1,000 多个高等级和最高等级密封生物安全实验室被建立，每个实验室的既定目标都是进行防御性研究。截至 2025 年，美国境内有 1,600 多个 BSL-3 实验室和 17 个 BSL-4 实验室，处于运行状态或在建中。但实验室事故与蓄意释放一样是切实存在的威胁，规划准则已经明确了这一点，其规划针对的是“生物事件”这一灾难，而不仅仅是针对袭击。美国并不是唯一一个进行危险病原体研究的国家。2025 年发表的一项全球调查确认，34 个国家拥有 110 个 BSL-4 实验室，149 个国家分布着 3,515 个 BSL-3 实验室，数量可能更多。该研究的作者指出，“91.6% 拥有至少一个 BSL-3 实验室的国家缺乏针对‘令人担忧的双用途研究’的指南。”在演习“权力移交”（Devolution）方案时所投入的同等严肃态度，应当在灾难发生之前（而非之后），投入到更严格的生物安全标准、对危险病原体研究更严厉的监督以及对公共卫生意识的持续投入中。公众值得拥有比政府连续性计划更多的保障。没有人希望在醒来时发现城市被基因改造的病原体围困——或者在事发后才匆忙了解“指挥控制 1”（Cogcon 1）和“权力移交”方案。

特朗普的核需求可能会将沙特推向中国 作者：ALI SHIHABI

上周，美国和沙特阿拉伯似乎解决了一个他们近十年以来一直致力于处理的最复杂问题之一。7 月 22 日，两国的能源部长签署了一项核合作协议，该协议将使美国公司在建设该王国的民用核工业中发挥核心作用。然而，在一天之内，唐纳德·特朗普总统突然增加了两个新条件：沙特阿拉伯必须加入以色列与几个阿拉伯国家之间的《亚伯拉罕协议》，且在该王国境内不得进行核材料浓缩。这次干预满足了某些国内政治选民的需求，但它面临着破坏美国战略目标的风险。如果华盛顿将核合作建立在不相关的政治让步以及沙特永久放弃其燃料循环抱负的条件之上，利雅得未必会放弃核电。它可能会

只需寻找一个问话较少的合作伙伴：中国。沙特阿拉伯发展核能有着正当理由。其人口和经济正在增长；电力需求在上升；海水淡化消耗大量能源；且每一桶不需要用于国内发电的石油都可以出口。该王国还拥有铀资源，自然希望开发与之相关的技术专长和工业价值链。这一切并不等同于决定制造核武器。尽管如此，华盛顿仍将沙特的浓缩铀能力视为美国可以授予或否决的一种特权。这高估了美国的杠杆作用。凭借其技术、融资、安全文化以及与利雅得的政治关系，美国仍然是最具吸引力的合作伙伴。但它不再是唯一可靠的供应商。中国已经建立了庞大的国内反应堆机群，出口核技术，耐心地为基础设施提供融资，且很少对另一个国家的外交政策提出要求。北京和利雅得已经拥有了构建合作的基础。中国核工业集团已与沙特机构在铀和钍勘探、铀提取以及潜在核项目方面开展合作。中国的报价将不会以沙特承认以色列为条件。北京也不太可能要求华盛顿长期寻求的关于禁止国内浓缩的“金标准”。中国仍将承担国际防扩散义务，任何沙特项目都应在国际原子能机构的监督下运行。但这正是关键所在：现实的选择不是在由美国设计且具有完美限制的项目与完全没有沙特项目之间做选择。而是在一个美国拥有极高可见度和影响力的合作伙伴关系，与一个华盛顿两者皆无的替代伙伴关系之间做选择。

将核协议与《亚伯拉罕协议》挂钩尤其适得其反。沙特阿拉伯多次明确表示，与以色列的关系正常化需要一条通往巴勒斯坦建国的可靠路径。无论人们如何看待这一立场，都不能通过将以色列附加到一份涉及反应堆、电力和核燃料的协议中来将其抹去。试图通过核杠杆地实现外交未能达成的目标，看起来不像是伙伴关系，而更像是指挥。浓缩问题需要更谨慎地处理，而不是绝对禁止。浓缩是双用途技术。在低水平时，它产生反应堆燃料；在高水平时，它可以用于制造武器。这种风险是真实存在的。解决方案应该是建立一套使转移燃料变得极其困难的安排——对浓缩水平和数量实施严格限制，进行持续监测、侵入性检查、远程监控和多国管理。这样的安排将给华盛顿带来远比将整个沙特燃料循环推向中国手中的安全感。美国的参与将在未来数十年内塑造反应堆的选择、培训、网络安全、物理保护、废物管理和保障措施。这将把沙特和美国的机构绑定在一起，并让国会能够持续监督该项目。选择退出将牺牲所有这些影响力，而对熄灭沙特的雄心几乎没有帮助。此外，这还存在更广泛的地缘政治代价。华盛顿经常警告海湾合作伙伴不要在技术上依赖中国。那么，当这些合作伙伴拒绝从属于美国时，华盛顿就不能直接关闭美国的大门。

国家优先事项与美国国内政治。当每个合作领域都变成另一个独立要求的筹码时，联盟将无法生存。沙特阿拉伯更倾向于与美国建立核伙伴关系。其安全架构、投资纽带和军事关系仍然与美国紧密相连——本周他们共同攻击伊拉克境内受伊朗支持的民兵组织就证明了这一点。但“倾向”不应与“依赖”混淆。一个决心获得民用核能的王国是有替代方案的，而中国将很乐意将美国的僵化转化为中国的战略影响力。特朗普以擅长达成交易而自豪。一项持久交易的核心在于区分不可或缺的保障措施与仅仅满足一方的条件。防止核扩散是不可或缺的。而通过核合同强迫与以色列关系正常化则并非如此。美国最安全的做法是将该王国的计划保留在由美国主导的严格框架内。利雅得无法接受的条件不会阻止其核能开发，而只会决定由谁来协助建设。阿里·希哈比（Ali Shihabi）是沙特阿拉伯作家和评论员。

梅根·麦卡德尔 (MEGAN MCARDLE) 美国不需要对福西的日记进行调查

我确信私人日记被公开是很令人不快的，这也是我不写日记的原因。安东尼·福西 (Anthony S. Fauci) 并没有那么谨慎，更糟糕的是，他将个人笔记保存在政府电脑上。上周，参议员兰德·保罗 (Rand Paul，肯塔基州共和党人) 在预定的参议院证词前将其公布，这让福西尴尬不已，并唤醒了旧有的怨恨。许多条目似乎是故意设计用来激怒保守派对疫情的所有残留不满的。曾协助领导美国应对新冠肺炎 (covid-19) 的福西记录了许多与著名且有影响力的自由派之间赞美之词的互动。他详细描述了围绕限制性疫情政策的幕后操纵。哦，他还描述了在某些会议上，知名专家认为新冠病毒源自实验室泄漏是有可能的。当被传唤至参议院就这些问题做出说明时，福西援引了第五修正案。对此最好的解释是，他担心陷入伪证陷阱。尽管如此，法学教授迈克尔·多夫 (Michael Dorf) 令人信服地指出，由于乔·拜登总统给了他广泛的赦免，福西没有权利这样做。

其中的一些内容勾勒出了一幅与保守派心目中的自由派建制派形象惊人相似的图景：一个舒适且封闭的精英群体，在闭门会议中制造共识，忽略或掩盖不利事实，并傲慢地将党派路线作为科学事实而非可争议的观点来传达。有人可能会抗议说这种形象是漫画式的夸张，确实如此。福西并没有表现得像某些保守派想象中的卡通反派。但漫画通常是对现实的夸大，而非纯粹的想象。华盛顿内部人士是一个舒适的小圈子（他们几乎必须如此，因为这座城市没那么大）。他们可能会因为接近权力与影响力而感到些许陶醉。而且，许多权势显赫且有影响力的个体在所有关于疫情的事情上确实变得教条，从病毒的起源到公众聚集的利弊，再到强制接种疫苗的益处。当受到挑战时，许多人并没有就他们的信念进行辩论，而是将挑战者谴责为偏执狂和傻瓜。无论如何，这种情况都很糟糕，但尤其令人愤怒的是，这些专家犯了如此多的错误。疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 在检测方面搞砸了，导致病毒得以 19,

（病毒）在未被察觉的情况下传播。专家们告诉我们口罩没用，直到他们告诉我们口罩是强制要求为止。尽管欧洲的学校已经成功复课，但美国的学校依然关闭。对于这些错误，从未有过充分的反思，因此我不能责怪保守派想要寻求反思，即使我认为公开一个人的私人笔记做得太过分了。通过让安东尼·福西因其在日记中对名人的崇拜而难堪，能获得什么好处？当然，保守派会感到自己的观点得到了证实，而保罗则为他的下一次竞选获得了素材。但是，虽然了解福西如何思考实验室泄漏与自然起源的问题具有真正的重要性，但公开他在日记中沉思其名人联系人的记录，对这场大流行病的历史没有任何贡献，反而让福西的支持者更容易将其斥为一场党派之争的政治猎巫。这种动态正是为什么在大流行开始六年之后，

这个国家仍然没有进行其所需的那种系统性的、非党派且非惩罚性的调查。也没有开始可能防止制度性失败再次发生的改革。相反，一方似乎希望公众能直接忘记这件事，而另一方则大多似乎感兴趣于发泄愤怒。这个国家需要的是一种对抗性较低的方法，其目的不在于追究责任，而在于弄清楚哪里出了问题。这对许多保守派来说是不太能接受的，因为他们认为，出问题的原因就是坏人干了坏事。问题在于，那些人相信——而且现在依然相信——他们当时是在为国家做最好的事情。当然，他们可能会承认在初期搞混了一些细节。是的，也许科学家们过于急于断言他们心爱的实验室绝不可能是疫情的源头。也许专家们

在这一问题及许多其他问题上的不确定性应当表达得更清晰一些。但他们是在一场前所未有的灾难中尽其所能。你可以抗议说这是自私的，当然确实如此。但话说回来，人类什么时候不是自私的？什么时候不会倾向于确认偏差和群体思维，或者被内部人士身份的诱惑所迷惑？将焦点放在个人身上，会使我们重复同样的错误，因为他们的继任者同样会倾向于这些常见的缺陷。相反，我们需要足够强健的系统，以便在现有的有缺陷的人员条件下也能运转——除非你恰好储备了一批准备接管工作的天使。修复系统的起点在于确定究竟哪里出了问题，而你最可靠的信息来源显然是那些在压力下可能做出了糟糕决定的决策者。如果你执意要惩罚

他们，这些人就会像福西一样，相当理性地保持沉默。我不能责怪他拒绝承担伪证罪的风险，就像我不能责怪保守派依然感到愤怒一样。这就是“责备游戏”的问题所在：有足够多的东西可以指责……没完没了……没完没了。我们一直在原地打转。没有任何改变，也没有任何人获胜。

第 16 页

华盛顿邮报 • 星期一，2026年8月3日 A16 EZ 总统唐纳德·特朗普表示他观看了“整个过程”，他在听证会后批评了福西，但回避了关于其是否应被起诉的问题。这一努力揭示了在六年后的今天，想要平息那些使福西成为大流行期间最具争议人物的激烈争端是多么困难。保罗和其他共和党人表示，新获取的记录就福西的行为提出了新的疑问。几位参议员指责他在冠状病毒大流行期间误导了美国人，并就他是否参与掩盖病毒潜在起源的问题向其施压。但其中一些核心指控此前已被调查过，甚至一些参与这些调查的共和党人也在质疑新材料能增加多少新信息。福西否认掩盖指控，他的盟友则说他陷入了一场卡夫卡式的噩梦。在一名福西的前助手于4月因私下吹嘘隐瞒电子邮件而被捕后，他们的担忧进一步加剧。对 85 岁的福西的压力正在增加。越来越多的立法者准备对他发起挑战。狗仔队潜伏在他的门外，死亡威胁依然存在。福西拒绝回答问题的片段已成为网络模因（memes），在 ESPN 上引发笑谈，并在保守派媒体中遭到嘲讽。这种审视让人想起大流行期间最黑暗的日子——只不过现在，政府不再动员资源来保护福西，而是由他自己支付安保费用。保罗的委员会定于周三投票决定是否判定福西藐视国会，预计该项措施将在共和党人的支持下通过。保罗表示，他们将立即将此事移交给司法部起诉。“我认为人们对他的记忆更多地会像是一个黑手党教父，而非一位伟大的科学家，”参议院政府监督委员会主席保罗在上周的听证会后告诉播客主持人本尼·约翰逊。彼得·斯塔利曾是他的对手，后来变成了长期好友，他表示福西正试图维持他的日常生活，与妻子一起快走，并在乔治城大学医院接诊病人。“他没有崩溃，”斯塔利说道，并引用了“布鲁克林式坚韧”——他说福西经常使用这个词。“我担心他的安全，但我不用担心他的精神状态。”本文取材于对福西的 17 位朋友、批评者和前同事，以及 19 位现任政府官员、立法者和国会助手进行的采访。福西通过发言人拒绝发表评论。福西领导了美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的传染病工作，在新冠肺炎（covid-19）大流行中成为了政府应对措施的代表人物。这一地位让他进入了精英社交圈，赢得了赞誉并使其成为全球名人——而这种名声留下了苦涩的后味。此后，他被指责为无数与大流行相关的政策负责，包括由他人做出但由他放大执行的决定，例如美国疾控中心（CDC）建议保持 6 英尺距离以降低病毒风险。活动人士和立法者表示，他们希望福西为学生学习能力的流失、工人失业以及新冠相关封锁造成的其他损害承担责任。一些前同事很高兴看到福西面对这些艰难的问题。几个人表示，他的日记显示，福西——他在日记中详细记录了与记者和名人的互动——过于沉溺于媒体对他的报道。他们还批评他努力促使 NIH 资助者获得奖项提名，这些细节在另一批记录中有所体现。

由保罗发布的文档。“这就是我所认识的那个被暴露在世人面前的福西，”曾在第一任特朗普政府担任高级卫生官员，并在疫情前就疫苗和资金优先事项与福西发生争执的克里斯·米金斯（Chris Meekins）说道。其他人则认为，保罗及其盟友在与福西经过数年争斗（通常是在参议院激烈的对峙中）之后，仅仅是想让福西难堪并损害其名誉。保罗主张，上周的听证会是他对疫情起源调查的一部分，包括福西是否试图掩盖可能引发疫情的实验室泄漏。在拜登领导下负责国家新冠疫情应对工作并与福西紧密合作的阿希什·贾（Ashish Jha）表示：“我们从那次听证会中一无所获。关于重要问题一无所获。关于如何预防下一次大流行一无所获。而且这种妖魔化会将人们拒之于公共服务之外。”保罗还表示，福西的日记揭示了他对病毒起源和风险想法转变的新情况。但该日记总体上与福西 2024 年的回忆录《值班》（On Call）以及他以往的其他访谈和证词高度一致。福西在 2024 年还接受了由共和党领导的小组委员会长达 21 小时的访谈，在访谈中他讨论了冠状病毒可能的起源、关于实验室泄漏是否引发疫情的私人对话以及其他争议性事项。小组委员会向福西追问，他的机构是否因资助在中国进行的高风险冠状病毒研究而无意中引发了这场大流行，他对此始终予以否认。“这份日记本应在 2023 年提交，但现在坐在 2026 年这里，我不确定这些记录为争论增加了什么，”曾任共和党小组委员会职员主任并主导对福西质询的米奇·本津（Mitch Benzine）在电子邮件中写道。“部分信息是新的，确实为福西医生在疫情期间的想法增添了色彩，但其结论与我们几年前发现的没有什么不同。”小组委员会的调查导致福西的一名助手在今年早些时候被逮捕，保罗提及了这一事件，并将其视为福西潜在的预兆。司法部官员表示，大卫·M·莫伦斯（David M. Morens）规避了公共记录法并隐藏其通信记录，以阻挠对冠状病毒大流行起源的调查。福西与莫伦斯保持距离，称对自己不了解其行为。曾任副总统迈克·彭斯（Mike Pence）办公厅主任的马克·肖特（Marc Short）在 2020 年就新冠限制措施与福西发生冲突，并认为这位医生的建议经常出错。但肖特表示，福西在早期冠状病毒应对中的角色现在被扭曲了，并指出在特朗普政府的“联邦制”方法下，地方领导者在如何以及何时重新开放学校和企业方面拥有相当大的自由裁量权。“他成了那些做出错误决定之公共卫生官员的替罪羊，”肖特说道，并回忆起 2020 年的一次对话，当时这位医生阐述了他们各自不同的职责。肖特回忆起福西说：“我的工作是告诉人们如何不被感染。你的工作是考虑所有其他因素。”福西在领导美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）传染病研究所近四十年期间，是一位著名的华盛顿人物，即便并非家喻户晓。他多次被召集到白宫为总统提供如何处理病毒爆发的建议，并被视为几代科学家的楷模。福西在 20 世纪 80 年代因其在以下方面的工作而引起全国关注：

艾滋病 / 艾滋病病毒（HIV / AIDS）最初引起了如 Staley 等活动人士的猛烈抨击，他们在 Fauci 的办公室外抗议——用模拟棺材和 Fauci 的塑像——谴责他是一个为了挽救生命而做得太少的官僚。但 Fauci 赢得了那些批评者的认可，让他们相信了他的诚意。他的声望也随之提高，科学家和政治家——包括许多著名的共和党人——都将他视为政府所能成就之事的典范。在 1988 年的一次总统辩论中，当被要求举例一位令人鼓舞的英雄时，副总统乔治·H.W·布什特别提到了 Fauci 在抗击艾滋病方面的工作。二十年后，布什的儿子，总统乔治·W·布什，因 Fauci 作为 PEPFAR（一项被认为挽救了数千万生命的全球艾滋病救济计划）的设计师所做的工作而授予他自由勋章。

进入 2020, 年，Fauci 在他的工作电脑上写了多年的日记——盟友们说，这是一种每晚的习惯，他在其中记录自己的日程、往来以及媒体露面情况，作为计划中回忆录的素材。随后冠状病毒来袭，该病毒在全球造成数百万人死亡，并改变了 Fauci 的生活。他成为了跨越两届政府的政府发言人，最初受到共和党和民主党人的共同赞赏，被视为一个令人安心的人物。特朗普给予了他最高级别的赞美之一：Fauci 很擅长面对电视镜头。

但随着大流行病的延长，Fauci 的悲观态度以及他对严格措施的鼓励激怒了特朗普和其他政府官员。家长们对学校关闭感到沮丧。保守派媒体越来越多地转向攻击这位医生，到 2020 年底，特朗普在竞选集会上听到了“开除 Fauci”的口号。

“我不反感他，我并不觉得他个人很糟糕，”特朗普上周告诉《福克斯与朋友们》(Fox & Friends)。“但我不同意他所说的话或他所做的事。”不过，特朗普在 2021. 年 1 月离职前，仍因 Fauci 在“曲速行动”(Operation Warp Speed)中的工作而授予他表彰，该行动是总统旨在加速研发冠状病毒疫苗的成功计划。

与此同时，接任的拜登政府将 Fauci 提升为总统 Joe Biden 的首席医疗顾问——这对这位资深的公务员来说是一项政治职务。Fauci 对该届政府的冠状病毒政策和人员具有显著的影响力。他在 2022, 年底离开政府，因为他警惕即将到来的共和党调查，且其受欢迎程度在下降。

“很明显，即使考虑到公益因素，这也会花掉我很多钱，因为共和党已经承诺他们会让我生活痛苦，并将大流行期间国家发生的几乎所有糟糕事情都归咎于我，”Fauci 在 2022. 年 11 月的日记中写道。

几个月后，拜登在离任最后一天为 Fauci 签发了预先特赦。当天下午，特朗普回归总统之位，并迅速将一些 Fauci 的批评者提升至政府关键职位。写了一本被该医生认为具有诽谤性的关于 Fauci 的书的肯尼迪，现在领导卫生部门。Fauci 在日记中将其斥为走狗的 Jay Bhattacharya，现在领导国立卫生研究院 (NIH)。一些 Fauci 的对手，如特朗普的经济顾问彼得·纳瓦罗 (Peter Navarro)，也回到了白宫和其他机构。

特朗普表示他不会挑战拜登对 Fauci 的特赦，但这位医生仍面临法律风险。特赦并不涵盖 20, 2025, 签发之后发生的事件，Fauci 及其盟友担心，如果他在向保罗 (Paul) 的小组作证时有任何失言，他将面临伪证指控——这一担忧促使他援引了

第五修正案。虽然拜登的赦免保护了福西免于因其参与国家冠状病毒应对期间的行为而受到联邦刑事调查，但并未排除州级起诉。佛罗里达州总检察长上周宣布对福西展开一项新调查。前众议院共和党工作人员本津（Benzine）表示，他预计保罗的委员会将在本周认定福西藐视国会。“接下来的情况尚不明确，”本津在电子邮件中写道，“明确的是，福西博士的麻烦还没有结束。”

许多美国人已经走出了大流行病的阴霾。福西的邻里周围曾经点缀着写有“谢谢福西博士”的标牌。这些标牌早已被撤下，且在上周听证会结束后的次日，没有任何新标牌出现。

在华盛顿唐人街街区的 Taco Bell Cantina 的一张小桌子旁，蒂亚·冈萨雷斯 (Tia Gonzalez) 停了下来，开始重新考虑她的订单：一份 Luxe Cravings 套餐——要加生菜。她说，在连锁店提供的绿叶蔬菜被认为与导致数千名美国人患病的环孢子虫病暴发有关后，餐厅仍在销售带有生菜的食物，这很“奇怪”。“也许我应该把食物上的生菜剔掉，”她神经质地笑了一句。在她周围，午餐高峰期仍在继续，她的不确定感像碎牛肉和洋葱的味道一样在空气中弥漫。

尽管有新闻头条报道，且她已经好几个月没去这家连锁店了，但当她和一位亲密朋友以及她的姐姐一起外出办事，而姐姐说“想吃点好吃的”时，冈萨雷斯在停下来吃午餐之初并不担心。

“我听说他们更换了供应商，所以我对此不担心。我更担心的是他们竟然一直使用”Taylor Farms，这家公司是针对源自墨西哥中部的切碎冰山生菜产品召回事件的中心。该公司此前曾涉及多次召回，包括 2024. 年与大肠杆菌暴发相关的在麦当劳销售的生洋葱。

洛杉矶——Too $hort 正在帮助嘻哈音乐进入他所谓的“老年 era.”。但不要指望他像个老年人那样说唱。这位来自奥克兰的嘻哈先驱现年 60, 岁，在他在湾区街头开始销售自制磁带 40 多年后的今天，他依然在录音、巡演并保持犀利的风格。

虽然该流派长期以来将衰老视为一种不成文的、足以终结职业生涯的过失，但 Too $hort 正在打破这一规则，并挑战该文化的元老们与他一起继续前行。他最新的证明是《Sir Too $hort Vol. 2: Drink & Smoke》，这是他的第 23 张录音室专辑，完全由长期合作者 Lil Jon 制作。该专辑于周五发行，恰好在 his 经久不衰的热门单曲《Blow the Whistle》发行 20 年后。

Too $hort 的作品集还包括《The Ghetto》和《Shake That Monkey》等经典之作，他表示近期没有减速的打算。当他和 E-40 在 2 月的 NFL 荣誉盛典上演出时，这一点显然可见。

在接受美联社采访时，Too $hort 思考了步入 60 岁的心境，挑战了嘻哈音乐的年龄限制，谈到了保护 Lil Jon 已故儿子 DJ Young Slade 的遗产，《Blow the Whistle》的持久影响力，以及为什么他在“车轮掉下来”之前不打算停止。

此次采访经过编辑以缩短长度并提高清晰度。

洛里·马萨罗 (Lori Massaro) 对服装的欣赏是显而易见的：她在时尚学院 (Fashion Institute of Technology) 教授时尚商业管理。但当马萨罗（同时也是四个孩子的母亲）进入他们在长岛家中 19 岁儿子的衣橱时，即使是她也感到有些困惑。

“我孩子有上百万件连帽衫，”马萨罗说。就像许多东海岸的青少年和年轻人一样，马萨罗的儿子非常喜欢来自紧邻预科学校风格的生活方式品牌 GOAT USA 的连帽衫。圣诞节时，他想要一件 Carhartt。访问

几年前在大学校园里，“我们参观的每所大学，他都想要一件连帽衫，”马萨罗（Massaro）说。“我当时心想：‘我觉得你可能根本考不上这所学校。’”接着是高中长曲棍球筹款活动的连帽衫，以及足球队的连帽衫，直到去年他进入大学后，其中一部分才被特拉华大学的连帽衫所取代。“我刚和家人去了一趟卡茨基尔山脉（Catskills）一个叫阳光山（Sunny Hill）的度假村。那里没什么特别的。但他却说，噢，我们得买一件阳光山的连帽衫，”马萨罗笑着说。“我简直不敢相信，他在开玩笑吧！？”

在过去的几十年里，连帽衫被赋予了某种具有宏大意义的象征。它们曾交替地成为运动员、黑客和科技亿万富翁的化身；也曾处于关于美国刻板印象和种族暴力紧张对话的中心。然而，对于当今美国各地的儿童、青少年和年轻人来说，这些都已成了陈年往事。连帽衫成了新的T恤：一种日常默认穿搭的组成部分，涵盖每一种颜色和每一个价格区间，获取方式多种多样，且一个人拥有的数量没有上限。但由于一件连帽衫占据的空间远比一件T恤大，孩子们的收藏积累速度正使他们的储物空间达到极限——并让他们的父母感到心烦意乱。

B2 EZ 华盛顿邮报 . 2026年8月3日，星期一 扔掉了新鲜的青豆，因为她不确定自己是否能将它们煮到足够高的温度。毫无疑问，这些恐惧在一定程度上是由社交媒体算法推波助澜的，其中充斥着无法逃避的短语“爆发性腹泻”，更不用说这次疫情的规模以及人们对此的反应。而这正是为什么周二下午在唐人街 Taco Bell 的景象如此令人震惊的原因。生意正火爆。这对于 Taco Bell 的高管来说可能并不意外，他们在周四为其母公司 Yum! 举行的业绩电话会议中提到，忠实粉丝中的“积极情绪和品牌喜爱度有所增加”，并指出过去四天的销售额已“恢复到去年同期销售水平的一半”。（不过该公司表示，Taco Bell 同店销售额在 7 月至 9 月期间迄今下降了 2%。）显然，要让人们放弃他们的 Crunchwrap Supremes 还需要更多的影响。在那家唐人街的小店里，点餐机前排满了人，几乎所有的桌子都被占满了。顾客们与同事一起吃午餐，一边用餐一边聊天，一边刷手机。一切看起来如此……正常。对于某些人来说，吃 Taco Bell 现在是他们最可怕的噩梦，然而这家连锁店一直在频繁开展促销活动。一名《华盛顿邮报》的员工甚至收到了来自 Venmo 的推送通知：“想要 Taco Bell 吗？结账时见。”她礼貌地拒绝了。他们正通过移动应用程序促销 1 美元 Enchiritos，并限时一天促销 1 美元墨西哥披萨，这些菜单项均不含生菜。巧合吗？我们不这么认为。Mariam Muradyan 在 TikTok 上看到广告后，为了墨西哥披萨的优惠而屈服，并招募她的同事 Kristie Saieh 一起参与。当 Saieh 将酱料包塞进包里时，她说她并不担心，尤其是在经历过新冠肺炎之后。她甚至更不在意，因为“TikTok 正在拿这件事开玩笑”，即便那些关于想要减肥的评论令人尴尬。“我比她担心一点，”Muradyan 承认，但她对自己那价格极具诱惑力的订单并不太焦虑。在等待食物时，Muradyan 表示人们只需关注自己正在消费的东西。随后她的订单准备好了。“我认为这不是什么需要惊慌的事情。这只是需要留意的事情，”Muradyan 在带着她的 1 美元餐点离开前说道。很明显，许多同样勇敢的人们仍然渴望 Taco Bell 的食物和价格。在午餐时间快结束时，员工们不断大声喊出订单名称，门在不停地开关。Matthew Monfore 也是不为所动的食客之一，他安静地刷着手机，面前放着一个空的 Luxe Cravings Box。因为在附近工作，他是唐人街 Taco Bell 的常客。他说过去一个月里几乎每天都会来。Monfore 没有对环孢菌病进行太多研究，但他说他主要听到的是“政治上的口角”。他说他不担心，并将继续坚持他的常规习惯。“这不是一个完美的系统。它肯定比几百年前要好。我几乎每天在这里吃，从未生过病。”这种情绪在社交媒体上的 Taco Bell 粉丝中很流行，而公司也并不避讳接受这种情绪。Monfore 的底线是：这类疫情时有发生，没有一家连锁餐饮能免疫，而谈到他对 Taco Bell 的忠诚度时，他根本不在意。“它快，它便宜，而且还可以免费续杯。” 仅仅是一次寄生虫疫情是不足以让这些人

Taco Bell 的顾客 Maxine Wallace / 华盛顿邮报。上周，尽管发生了环孢子虫病疫情，但位于华盛顿唐人街社区的 Taco Bell Cantina 依然生意兴隆。

以及一名来自马萨诸塞州雷丁市的内容创作者。和 Massaro 一样，她有时也必须从成堆的废弃连帽衫中挖掘出她的家具和物品。她的四个孩子中有两个已经对此痴迷，且随着她 14 岁的孩子将在今年秋季进入高中，她说：“我觉得到年中时，我们需要在市场上购买更多连帽衫。”

Pierce 最近将一个门后鞋类收纳架重新利用起来，用来存放她 16 岁女儿折叠好的连帽衫。“这确实是一个很棒的存储方案，”她说，“所有东西都清晰可见。”当 Pierce 在她的 LTK 页面（一个让内容创作者通过引导购物者购买其推荐产品来赚取佣金的平台）上推荐这款网格收纳架时，该推荐成为了她过去几年中表现最好的联属营销链接之一。

在爱达荷州博伊西的家中，12 岁和 14 岁的 Henry 和 Gemma Bifulco 两人共拥有几十件运动衫。Henry 收藏中的“圣杯”是一件密歇根大学的深蓝色运动衫和一件带有花卉图案的黑色 Denim Tears，而 Gemma 则钟爱 Dandy Worldwide 那些复杂且富有节日气息的设计。

19 岁的 Piper Aceto 在天气足够凉爽时几乎每天都穿连帽衫。她甚至在大学申请论文中写到了那件她高中时期每天裹在身上的、被深爱着的灰色连帽拉链衫，以及她最终如何像蝴蝶破茧一样脱离它。“我在其中找到了很多类似情感支持的东西，”Aceto 说，“但最终，我意识到我必须亲自面对自己的战斗。” Aceto 现在是佛罗里达大学心理学和神经科学专业的二年级学生，她仍然拥有 30 到 40 件连帽衫——但颜色更亮，设计也更活泼。

对 Piper、Henry 和 Gemma（以及他们的运动衫收藏）来说，幸运的是，他们的母亲们都是以整理房间和衣柜为生的。Henry 和 Gemma 的母亲、总部位于博伊西的家居整理公司 Tidy Style 的所有者 Heather Bifulco 经常听到家长们抱怨，说孩子的连帽衫收藏正从衣柜中“爆炸式”地溢出，让他们“感到沮丧，因为连帽衫最终在孩子的地板上堆成了一座山”。

她建议在悬挂时将帽子塞进每件衣服的领口中，以达到精简和节省空间的效果，或者使用多个门后挂钩，并在每个挂钩上挂多件连帽衫。“你可以在一扇门上轻松存放 20 件连帽衫，”她说。

Piper 的母亲 Elise Wiley 是宿舍设计工作室 Dorm Luv 的创始人，她还协助管理 Facebook 群组 Dorm Room Mamas——这是一个拥有 437,000 名成员的论坛，供那些希望帮助孩子适应校园独立生活的家长使用。在那里，连帽衫问题是一个普遍现象：Wiley 和 Dorm Room Mamas 的创始人 Amber Wimberly 推荐使用储物奥斯曼长凳、悬挂式布艺架和可折叠布艺抽屉，或者仅在学校保留少量连帽衫，不时地与存放在家中的衣服进行更换。

当然，并非每个孩子都满足于只有少数几种连帽衫可供选择。“为了帮我儿子搬进宿舍，我们不得不买真空压缩袋。我们将连帽衫塞进去，然后把所有空气都抽干，”Wimberly 带着笑意回忆道。

在 2026 年，孩子们的连帽衫收藏量因几个不同的原因而激增。它们成了一种流行的活动

以及活动纪念品；例如，参加酒吧派对或成人礼（bar or bat mitzvah）可能会让你获得一件连帽衫。位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的派对策划公司 Pop Color Events 专门在华盛顿-马里兰-弗吉尼亚地区承办成人礼庆典。Pop Color Events 的所有者布林内·马加齐内（Brynne Magaziner）表示，孩子们在为成人礼宾客选择纪念品时，往往倾向于可食用纪念品、饮水具（如 Stanley 杯或印有标志的水瓶）或服装（睡裤、T恤、连帽衫）。在那些选择可穿戴纪念品给宾客的家庭中（通常是预算较高的客户），“10 次中有 9 次选择的是连帽衫”。广义上讲，Z 世代和 Alpha 世代是社交媒体原住民；他们在成长过程中就已经熟悉了每个人都需要品牌认同感的观念。与毛衣或纽扣衬衫相比，连帽衫更有可能用粗体字标明品牌、地点或机构的名称。因此，在某种程度上，连帽衫收藏也可以“在某种程度上代表你的个人品牌，可以这么说”，时尚学教授马萨罗（Massaro）表示。“因为它展示了你去过的地方，以及你关注的一切。”你参加什么团队，去哪里度假。当然，还包括你与谁的关系足够好，能收到成人礼的邀请函。不过，促使儿童和年轻人将连帽衫收藏量增加到数十件的主要原因，可能仅仅是因为他们比前几代人更强调服装的舒适度。这不仅仅是对孩子而言；我们生活在一个年轻女性穿着奢侈运动鞋去夜店，而商人穿着精致的四分之一拉链卫衣去办公室的时代。青少年过去通过高端 Polo 衫和设计师牛仔裤来彰显其卓越的资源获取能力和品味。现在，他们通过抢到热门的连帽衫来向同龄人炫耀。Fear of God Essentials, Pink Palm Puff, Parke, Scuffers, White Fox, GOAT USA, Dandy Worldwide —— 这些品牌生产的卫衣都已成为青少年的身份象征。GOAT 的 $65 OG 连帽卫衣款式自 2017 年推出以来，每年的销量都超过了其所有其他产品；Pink Palm Puff 的经典 Puff 连帽衫售价 $89，今年早些时候在迈阿密海滩举办的一场快闪活动在一天之内吸引了 10,000 名购物者。马萨罗在时尚技术学院（Fashion Institute of Technology）任教近三十年，她回忆道：“刚开始工作时，学生们为了上学而精心打扮的样子让我印象非常深刻。他们真的会展示自己多么时尚。”有些人现在依然如此。“但我看到的重大变化是舒适穿衣（comfort dressing），”马萨罗说。现在，甚至有些教职员工有时也会穿着连帽衫来校园。青少年最新的炫耀方式？穿着一件高需求的连帽衫。

monday, august 3, 2026 . 华盛顿邮报 EZ RE B3 改编自一场在线讨论。 亲爱的卡罗琳： 我们家有一个显然是父母一方宠儿的兄弟 / 姐妹，不仅在情感上，而且在物质上得到了远超我们其他人的照顾。当父母这样做时，还会当面以此刺激我们，然后质问我们为什么不能为这个孩子感到高兴。这感觉就像是在遭受情感上的水刑。这个兄弟 / 姐妹也觉得有必要分享那些刻薄且不友好的观察结果，并且习惯于让其余的我们扮演“大度的人”或“随它去吧”，因为我们从小就被这样教育。在接受心理咨询后（感谢几位优秀的治疗师），我变得更擅长指出这些行为。说出“哇”以及“这句话真的很伤人”地回应也很有帮助。然而，几年前，这个兄弟 / 姐妹对我进行了一次指控，这不仅刻薄，而且公然不实。尽管他 / 她掌握了所有证据证明这并非事实，但仍然指责我在背后密谋伤害他 / 她。我深感受伤且极其愤慨，因为他 / 她竟然认为我能做出这种事，更不用说还编造出我确实做了这些事的谎言。当被要求考虑事实时，他 / 她仅提供了一个敷衍的道歉：“如果你感到受伤，我很抱歉”，随后进行了大量解释，称他 / 她当时压力很大，所以我不能对此心怀怨恨。接着，他 / 她向那个偏心的父母大肆抱怨我对他 / 她的态度不热情。父母试图让我承诺会与他 / 她化解矛盾。我拒绝做出这个承诺。一年前，那个偏心的父母去世了。现在，这个兄弟 / 姐妹显然想和我维持关系，但说：“我永远不想谈论过去。” 我无法在这样的条件下达成协议。我想我已经原谅了他 / 她——我明白所有的偏爱极大地导致了他 / 她认为自己永远没错，我的大部分愤怒其实是对父母的。但我也认为，原谅是一回事，而再次走回那个人面前说“谢谢先生，请先生，我可以再来一份吗”则是完全不同的另一回事。我的理智知道这一点，但我仍然怀疑自己是否在极其不公正且不宽容。当我已经没有信任或感情时，我该如何摆脱那种认为“得由我来修复这段关系”的想法？—— 未被宠爱者

未被宠爱者： 哇。（这是一个多用途的词。）我很遗憾。不过，你对自己所经历的事情看起来极其清醒，所以我只有几点建议。首先，是的，你是对的，公开的偏爱会阻碍被宠爱者的成长；你见过多少脚踏实地、讨人喜欢的宠儿？很难对那个拿走所有玩具的孩子产生同情心，但你就是一个活生生的提醒：那些每天被喂以“糟糕三明治”的孩子，往往更有动力去寻找资源、寻求帮助并赶紧脱离那个环境。尽管如此，一些宠儿确实能恢复到一定程度，或发展出足够的自我意识来意识到伤害并做出努力，甚至达到向未被宠爱的兄弟姐妹道歉的程度——所以你的兄弟 / 姐妹并非没有主观能动性。通常，当他们感受到被宠坏的代价时，这种意识才会产生。你想出于自己的理由维持健康的界限，故事到此为止……我只是想说，这些界限带来的意外后果，可能是让你的兄弟 / 姐妹在撞到那堵所谓的墙时，感受到一次唤醒的打击。所有最好的顿悟都是这样开始的。其次，你的理性思考是正确的：要么你接受这些条件，要么就没有和解。“我对维持关系持开放态度，但诚实的对话是我前进的唯一途径。如果你改变主意，请告诉我。” 就让它简单到这种程度。第三，你的最后一句话是多年来情感上留下的残余

这种胡闹的行为，所以直接抹掉并忽略掉吧。无论如何，这件事并不取决于责任、信任或感情。你们是两个拥有同等权力的成年人，在决定自己能容忍什么。因此，这关乎桌面上摆出的条件，不多也不少。出于某些原因，你不接受 Sib 的条款，那么——你就提出你愿意接受的条款，Sib 可以自由决定接受或拒绝。至于潜台词、暗流和权力游戏，请直接抛弃或随它去吧。我希望你们双方都能顺利解决。请发送邮件至 tellme@washpost.com 与 Carolyn Hax 联系。在 wapo.st / gethax 订阅她的每日早间新闻通讯。 每周五中午在 washingtonpost.com / live-chats 参与实时讨论。在偏爱导致的裂痕之后，不知如何修复破裂的兄弟姐妹关系 Carolyn Hax 插图由 Nick Galifianakis / 为 华盛顿邮报 绘制

您最近刚满 60 岁，但您仍然在发行专辑、巡演并影响着文化。当您最初在奥克兰街头销售自制磁带时，是否想象过在 40 多年之后您仍然在做这件事？

在 14 或 15 岁的时候，我的心态是：“让人们听到这些音乐。我们要去在一些家庭派对和高中舞会上大闹一场，并在街头把磁带卖给粉丝。”当我获得进入这个行业的机会时，我就知道这将成为我的职业。这始终是“直到车轮脱落”（坚持到底）。我从未想过“让我们做 30 或 40 年”。我一直说，嘻哈不再是我的工作的那一天，可能就是我停止的时候。但我对嘻哈的热爱不允许我停止录音。我从未长假过。我一直待在录音室里，一直演出。我坚持下去是因为这是我的工作。

您认为为什么在如此多职业生涯起伏更替的情况下，您依然能保持影响力？

我真的热爱创作音乐。它从未让我觉得像是在工作。我本可以在《Blow the Whistle》之后停止，然后觉得“故事讲完了”。但必须有人进入这些未知水域并开辟道路。看看 E-40、Snoop Dogg、Fat Joe 以及其他那些在孩子们长大、孙辈即将到来后依然坚持的人们。谁定下了在嘻哈界必须在 40 岁停止的规矩？他们说的每一个里程碑都意味着老了。起初是 30 岁，然后是 40 岁，接着是 50 岁。现在我们有了资深公民说唱歌手，而这……

（来自 B1 的问答）是真的。嘻哈正在进入一个像爵士乐、蓝调和 R&B 那样，拥有依然在演出和录音的高龄艺术家的阶段。我们也应该如此。

在《Blow the Whistle》发行 20 年后，它依然在从 NBA 场馆到奥运会的各个地方播放。您认为这首歌为什么能经久不衰？

我不知道如果你给我配方并告诉我如何再次实现，我是否能做到；我认为我做不到。它必须自然而然地发生。我对 Lil Jon 非常感激，因为自歌曲发布之日起，他就创作了许多我们喜爱的歌曲。我们在一起创作出了优秀的音乐，这就是为什么我对人们听到我们在首次合作 30 年后依然在做的事情感到兴奋。

这张专辑让您与 Lil Jon 重新聚首，但其中也包含了他在 2 月份去世的儿子 Slade 的作品。这次合作对您意味着什么？

他的儿子是在我们完成录音后去世的。实际上我们录制的歌曲数量大约是最终放入这个项目中的两倍。我看到了这件事对 Jon 造成的影响，而且我也最近失去了我的兄弟，所以我明白那种丧失感。在整个过程中，Slade 制作或共同制作了我正在处理的许多轨道。我首先想到的是，能够成为他儿子遗产的一部分，并向世界贡献一些东西，我将感到无比自豪。

将帮助他永生。乔恩一直说着，“斯莱德的遗产”，而我只是想成为其中的一部分，并向世界展示我们又失去了一位优秀且才华横溢的人。您和 E-40 在 2020 年的 Verzuz 演出中共同庆祝了湾区嘻哈文化。粉丝们仍然很喜欢看到你们两人在一起。你们还会再次组队吗，无论是为了另一场 Verzuz、一次巡演还是其他事情？我们在 2020, 做了一次，但那不是一场对决。我们度过了一段美好的时光。我们做了很多笑闹，非常团结。那时我不想和 40 对决，现在我也不想和他对决。他是我在嘻哈领域最好的朋友。我很愿意报名由我和 40 联手对抗任何人。那会很有趣。他们还没有出现过两组人……我把话放在这里：谁想在 Verzuz 中挑战 Too $hort 和 E-40？随着第 23 张录音室专辑的发行，Too $hort 正在打破规则 Jae C. Hong / ap 这位来自奥克兰的嘻哈先驱的最新专辑完全由长期合作者 Lil Jon 制作，于周五发行。

亲爱的礼仪小姐：我的儿子和儿媳即将迎来他们的第一个孩子。我通过告诉我最好的朋友她很快会收到他们的婴儿洗礼派对邀请函，向她分享了这个好消息。然而，她并没有感到兴奋或表示祝贺，而是冷哼一声说，准妈妈不应该为自己举办洗礼派对。随后她列出了一长串名单，说明根据礼仪规则，哪些人有资格举办婴儿洗礼派对。好吧，显然我们打破了两条规则，因为我将在我家举办，这同样是不被允许的。在当今时代，我认为夫妻双方举办自己的洗礼派对是合适的。考虑到我的儿媳负责所有规划并承担大部分费用，我认为这里没有问题。但我的朋友一直告诉我这很粗鲁，而且男人在场只会让情况变得更糟。所以，我只想听听一位没有活在 1950 年代的专家的意见。唉。

礼仪小姐不知道谁更糟糕：是那些蔑视礼仪的人，还是那些将礼仪当作攻城锤的人。不，她并不是在指责您，尽管她很遗憾地看到越来越多的人邀请他人来向自己致敬。您可能知道此类场合，因此判定这是可以接受的。当然，礼仪在演变，一个向好方向改变的例子就是人们认可男人也会成为父母，并应该被纳入这些庆祝活动中。但是，改变“朋友向朋友致敬而非向自己致敬”这一旧规则的理由是什么？是担心没人致敬？或者，正如大多数人将要解读的那样，是贪婪？无论如何，对于您称之为最好的朋友的那个人，没有任何借口。朋友可以选择致敬或不致敬他们的朋友，但他们不能毁谤他们。尤其是当对方声称自己是更好的礼仪实践者时。

亲爱的礼仪小姐：最近我和两个不同的男人共进晚餐——是在不错的餐厅，而不是快餐店——他们每个人都用手指将食物推到叉子上。我不知道该如何处理这种情况，尤其是因为他们两人都是很友善的男人，且希望继续约会关系。如果因为糟糕的餐桌礼仪就停止与其中任何一人往来，那将是一件遗憾的事。该如何处理？仅在喝咖啡时处理？这对他们来说可能太烫了，无法用手指搅拌？礼仪小姐希望您不要幻想通过纠正一名绅士的餐桌礼仪来增进浪漫关系。这不是一个好的 courtship（求爱）技巧。即使是在婚姻中，这也不是一个简单的技巧。礼仪小姐能想出的最不冒犯的教训，是将其中一名绅士带到一家非常正式（以免说是矫揉造作）的餐厅，作为一次盛大的款待，

并提前低声提醒，这里不是那种可以用手指进食的地方。这里不适合在第一次约会时尝试。请等到你觉得这位先生值得这样投资时再前往。新的“礼仪小姐”专栏于周一至周六在 washingtonpost.com / advice 发布。您可以将问题发送至礼仪小姐的网站 missmanners.com。您还可以关注她的 @RealMissManners。© 2026 Judith Martin

作者：DANIELLE ALLENTUCK 亚特兰大 —— 周日下午，在华盛顿国民队以 2-4 负于勇士队并遭遇四场比赛被横扫后，Luis García Jr. 穿过更衣室，与人们拥抱并打包自己的物品。当时他还没有被交易。那是在一小时后发生的，当时纽约洋基队用四名投手的一组交易包将其收购。

国民队在赛前就得知交易已接近达成。他们在开球前 30 分钟将 García 剔除出名单，甚至在 Andrés Chaparro 因被投球击中而离开比赛后，仍让他留在替补席上。Brady House 接管了一垒，这是他首次在美职大联盟该位置出场。García 表示，他在 Chaparro 受伤后告诉 Blake Butera 他可以上场，但华盛顿的经理被告知不要让他上场。潜在的受伤可能会降低 García 的价值，甚至导致交易破裂。“这很奇怪，很不舒服，走到休息区然后被队友们盯着看，”García 通过球队翻译说道。

五连败创赛季最高纪录 见 C5 国民队 随着连续第五场失利 —— 且是在亚特兰大的第四场 —— 国民队准备放弃 作者：DANIELLE ALLENTUCK 亚特兰大 —— 华盛顿国民队在周日将资深内野手 Luis García Jr. 交易至纽约洋基队，这是该队在交易截止日期前做出的第二次重大举措。华盛顿从纽约得到了四名右投手：Jake Bird, Yovanny Cruz, Ben Grable 和 Jack Cebert。García 是国民队中效力时间最长的球员，正处于职业生涯的高光年，打率 .283 且击出 23 支本垒打。但他在下个赛季结束后将获得自由球员资格，且他的价值可能永远不会比现在更高。

“既难过又开心，”García 在周日以 2-4 负于亚特兰大勇士队、且交易接近达成后，通过翻译说道。“这是我职业生涯的新篇章。所以，是的，现在是 50-50。”国民队一直等到截止日期临近才决定采取什么方向。但一次五连败（追平了赛季最高连败记录，并使他们低于 .500 胜率 3 场）让决定变得清晰。他们现在是卖家，交易走了一名关键击球手和更衣室领袖。

国民队急需投手的深度，而这次交易在美职大联盟和小联盟层面都提供了增强力量。30 岁的 Bird 在科罗拉多落基山队拥有美职大联盟经验，见 C5 García 详情 在另一项重大交易中，García 以一组投手包被交易至洋基队

被横扫进入出售模式 勇士 4，国民 2 作者：NOAH WHITE 周日进行了一些网球比赛。周日也下了一些雨。后者的量更多。这两者在 DC 赛决赛前都被预料到了，在女子组中，Jessica Pegula 将对阵 Alexandra Eala；在男子组中，Taylor Fritz 将与 Rafael Jódar 较量。这两个变量的分配是唯一的问题。在 Pegula 和 Eala 进行了大约一小时的比赛后 —— Pegula 以 6-4 赢得第一盘，Eala 在第二盘以 2-1 做出回应 —— 雷阵雨从下午 4 点持续到晚上 9 点后不久，随后赛事组委会宣布了

单打决赛将于周一下午结束。这一切发生在女子决赛因预期下午雷达显示天气恶劣而提前至中午开始之后。佩古拉（Pegula）和埃拉（Eala）在云层变幻中进入球场进行热身。但就在她们准备进行第一次发球时，远处发生了闪电，人群散去，洛克克里克公园（Rock Creek Park）的威廉·H·G·菲茨杰拉德网球中心（William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center）陷入了一种停滞的节奏。不到三小时后，佩古拉和埃拉重新回到赛场，艰难地完成了第一盘和第二盘的一部分，随后雨水再次干扰比赛。之后，天空每隔几个小时才放晴一次。场馆工作人员出来用海绵吸水并吹干积水。球迷们离开了该地设有顶棚的餐饮区，那里一度变成了FEMA（联邦紧急事务管理局）式的噩梦，数百人躺在地板上，靠在食物柜台上，乞求厨房工作人员提供任何消息。然而

就在他们准备出去时，雨又来了。由于周日晚间其余时间预计有雷阵雨，周一显然是最佳选择。女子决赛计划于中午恢复。在该场比赛结束且不早于 1 p.m. 后，男子决赛将随之进行。32 岁的佩古拉曾在 2019, 年获得华盛顿冠军，她目前在寻求WTA巡回赛中的第12个职业单打冠军。21, 岁的埃拉则在寻求她的首冠。28, 岁的弗里茨（Fritz）在ATP巡回赛中已获得 10 个单打冠军。19 岁的乔达尔（Jódar）在今年早些时候的摩洛哥赢得了他的首个冠军。天气延迟DC公开赛决赛 佩古拉-埃拉的比赛在第二盘被中止；弗里茨-乔达尔尚未开始。

像斯库巴尔（Skubal）这样的投手，正如本专栏上个月指出的，棒球界最富有且最聪明的球队没有理由不抢到他。所以他们抢到了。当然他们抢到了。他们正全速冲向三连冠，而令棒球界最感恩的球迷们感到高兴的是，没有什么能挡住他们的路。棒球界的其他所有人都会因此恨他们。但他们不在乎。批评者会说，这又是他们如何破坏这项运动的又一个例子。他们根本不在意。像这样——极富之人变得极富——的举动，可能会在今年冬天被引用为比赛因劳工纠纷而停摆的原因。但这不是他们的问题。随着伤势严重的大谷翔平（Shohei Ohtani）在十月发挥关键作用的可能性越来越低，

看斯库巴尔在C5 拥有足够的资产来获得他。当然他们有。他们一直都有。作为回报，他们定能面对一群萎靡不振且实力悬殊的竞争者，赢得第三个连续冠军，而那些竞争者只能在梦中才能得到斯库巴尔。他的代价是顶级潜力球员齐希尔·霍普（Zyhir Hope）、里弗·瑞安（River Ryan）和布雷迪·史密斯（Brady Smith）。那又怎样？道奇队有的是这样的人。他可能在今年冬天成为自由球员，续约可能需要花费 $400 million。那又怎样？道奇队的沙发缝里就有这么多钱。道奇队饱受伤病困扰的轮换阵容需要一名顶尖的先发投手。

作者：比尔·普拉斯奇（BILL PLASCHKE），洛杉矶时报 洛杉矶 —— 塔里克·斯库巴尔（Tarik Skubal）成了道奇球员：这五个字是洛杉矶以外每一个棒球之魂都害怕听到的。道奇队将实现三连冠：这六个字是现在每一个地方的棒球之魂都必须承认的。结束了。对棒球最佳投手的追逐，棒球最佳球队的狩猎，冠军争夺战，世界系列赛，所有这一切都结束了。道奇队再次窃走了所有荣誉，虽然早了三个月，但时机恰到好处。当他们通过交易获得底特律老虎队的塔里克·斯库巴尔——这位两届赛扬奖得主，且简单来说就是棒球界最强的投手时，他们的第三个连续冠军就此奠定。每个人都想要他。道奇队是唯一拥有

观点：对于道奇队而言，三连冠已成定局 在与老虎队王牌斯库巴尔完成重磅交易后，还有谁能挡住洛杉矶？

大学体育 新指令给部分 22 届球员带来打击 此前允许部分在上一学年失去参赛资格的运动员延长一年大学体育赛期的法官，在周日发布了一项新指令，明确表示这不包括今年夏天签署职业合同后又反悔的橄榄球运动员。美国地方法院法官夏洛特·斯威尼 (Charlotte Sweeney) 针对 NCAA 提出的请求，对其周五的裁决进行了澄清。该裁决原先授予了 2022 年高中毕业且未被纳入 NCAA 新规（该新规允许第一分区球员拥有五个赛季的参赛资格）的运动员第五年的参赛机会。她表示，该决定依然有效，但不会影响 NCAA 的其他规定，包括禁止球员在签署职业合同后返回大学参赛的规定。

最初的裁决版本有可能颠覆即将到来的大学橄榄球赛季，因为各球队在进入训练营时，计划于明年秋季起执行“五赛五年”规则。如果将该规则延伸至今年秋季的球员，将给数百人提供重返校园的机会。在裁决出台之初，一些媒体报道列出了 NFL 和 CFL 名单中暗示愿意重返校园的球员。但在斯威尼的澄清之后，这种情况似乎已不再可能。她指出，NCAA 关于职业球员的规则没有变化；关于运动员何时可以进入转会门户没有例外；且不对具有里程碑意义的 House 诉讼和解协议的条款产生影响，该协议规定了球队名单的人数以及学校可支付给球员的金额。… 前克莱姆森大学男篮前锋 RJ Godfrey 已承诺加盟亚利桑那大学，这可能会填补主教练汤米·劳埃德 (Tommy Lloyd) 阵容中最大的缺口。

足球 Spirit 负于 Wave，在 NWSL 中排名第二 利亚·戈弗雷 (Lia Godfrey) 在下半场打入一球，华盛顿 Spirit 队在奥迪球场 0-1 负于圣迭戈 Wave 队，终结了三连胜。在第 60 分钟的一次快攻中，特里尼蒂·拜尔斯 (Trinity Byars) 将球传给戈弗雷，后者在被雷贝卡·贝尔纳尔 (Rebeca Bernal) 严密防守的情况下首触球即得分。桑迪·麦凯弗 (Sandy MacIver) 为华盛顿队（11-4-3）完成了 5 次扑救。这是华盛顿队在过去 14 场 NWSL 比赛中的第 3 次失利，也是自 3 月赛季揭幕战以来的首场主场失利。Spirit 队在 18 场比赛后积 36 分。在周六晚上击败休斯顿 Dash 的 Gotham FC 以 37 分领跑 NWSL。… 英国首相安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 表示，鉴于此前试图将世界杯股份出售给私人投资者的计划现已放弃，国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino) 不应再领导世界足球管理机构。伯纳姆说：“我不认为他是带领世界足坛向前迈进的合适人选。此前提出的计划冒犯了全球许多足球人士，我们不能就这样简单地翻篇并忘掉这件事。那是不可接受的。” … 新英格兰革命队前锋杰克·哈里森 (Jack Harrison) 已获得美国绿卡和 P-1 签证，目前具备参赛资格，该 MLS 俱乐部表示。

职业篮球 高效的 Lynx 在 Fever 反击中艰难获胜 新星奥利维亚·迈尔斯 (Olivia Miles) 以 28 分带领高效进攻，考特尼·威廉姆斯 (Courtney Williams) 贡献 27 分，明尼苏达 Lynx 队在明尼阿波利斯以 108-100 击败印第安纳 Fever 队，取得十连胜。在 Target Center 体育馆外的一场抗议活动中，印第安纳队替补球员索菲·坎宁安 (Sophie Cunningham) 的支持者与反对者发生了冲突，坎宁安上周告诉 ESPN，她认为跨性别女孩不应参加女孩体育赛事。

那些持有相反观点的人。明尼苏达队的教练雪莉尔·里夫（Cheryl Reeve）穿着一件写有“跨性别孩子也属于这里”的衬衫，并在赛前与坎宁安（Cunningham）进行了交谈，而后者在整个比赛过程中都遭到了嘘声。林克斯队在比赛还剩 6:41 时以 96-82 领先，随后费弗队（此前曾连续 6 场比赛得分达到 100 分）在最后三分钟内将比分追至 100-98。但迈尔斯（Miles）和威廉姆斯（Williams）都攻入了关键篮筐，帮助明尼苏达队确保了自 2016. 年以来最长的连胜纪录。纳菲莎·科利尔（Napheesa Collier）为林克斯队（25-6）贡献了 18 分、8 个篮板和 7 次助攻。娜塔莎·霍华德（Natasha Howard）得到 13 分，凯拉·麦克布莱德（Kayla McBride）得到 10 分。费弗队（19-11）的五连胜被终结，由凯尔西·米切尔（Kelsey Mitchell）以 37 分领衔。这是她本赛季第五场 30 分以上的比赛，也是连续第 14 场 20 分以上的比赛，是联盟历史上单赛季第二长的连续得分纪录，仅次于 A’ja Wilson (15)。……杰西卡·谢泼德（Jessica Shepard）和

乔恩·超级 / 美联社 (Jon Super / AP) 成为自朴仁比以来首位在一年内赢得三项连续大奖赛的选手。这位女子 PGA 和 Evian 冠军在后九洞仍有竞争力。她需要 birdies（小鸟球），但结果连续出现两个 bogeys（柏忌球），最终以 74 杆并列第六。女子高尔夫世界排名第一且赢得了今年前两项大奖赛的内莉·科尔达 (Nelly Korda) 在落后 8 杆的情况下开始，并以 68. 杆完赛。在久胁完赛之前，她在俱乐部中长时间保持领先，成绩为负 2 杆。

久胁在女子世界排名中位列第 46，今年已经两度夺冠，在日巡赛 (Japan LPGA) 的奖金榜上排名第四，该巡回赛近期共产生了五位大奖赛冠军。“每一洞，我都在专注于每一杆，”她说，“并尽量在场上享受其中。”

过去三年。在颁奖仪式上，久胁通过翻译表示：“我不敢相信。”失望的是排名第三的叶莉米·诺 (Yealimi Noh) (74 杆)，这位 25 岁的加州人在最后一轮开始时领先 3 杆，但随后因连续出现 bogeys 而逐渐失去优势。她在第 14 洞出现一次 bogey 后失去了领先地位。诺落后 1 杆，且在久胁已经进入俱乐部且成绩为 279. 杆时，有两次相当不错的 birdie 机会，但未能成功将其转化为得分。

“我今天早上告诉自己，无论发生什么，我很高兴能再次处于这个位置，”此前连续三场未能通过切分线 (cuts) 的诺说道。“几周前，我失去了很多动力。这一周让我对自己的比赛感觉好多了。”

柳河兰 (Haeran Ryu) 在冲击冠军的尝试中未能成功。

美联社 英国 利瑟姆-圣安尼斯 (LYTHAM ST. ANNES) —— 日本选手久胁志帆 (Shiho Kuwaki) 在周日的突然死亡赛附加赛中保住标准杆以维持竞争力，并在第二个加时洞以标准杆完赛，击败德国选手埃斯特·亨塞莱特 (Esther Henseleit)，夺得她的首个大奖赛冠军——女子英国公开赛冠军。久胁以 1 杆低于标准杆的 70 杆完赛，在计分室等待了近 30 分钟，看起来像胜者。

在最后一组的亨塞莱特在皇家利瑟姆和圣安尼斯球场的第 18 洞推进了一个 40 英尺的 birdie 普特，以 70 杆成绩与久胁同为 5 杆低于标准杆的 279 杆。随后在附加赛中，由于这位 23 岁的日本选手处于沙坑前深草区，不得不将球停在果岭前，亨塞莱特占据了优势。久胁用劈杆将球击至 3 英尺内保住标准杆，并在亨塞莱特错过一个 15 英尺的 birdie 普特时再次获得机会。

局面在第二个加时洞发生了反转。亨塞莱特在 18 洞的开球球偏右，落在了一丛金雀花丛下。她很出色地将球击回球道，并用劈杆将球击至约 12 英尺处。但她的标准杆普特偏离球洞左侧，这让久胁能够轻推标准杆完赛。

“我对今天能给自己创造获胜机会以及我的应对方式感到非常高兴。只是在第二个附加赛洞运气有点差，”亨塞莱特说。

继去年山下美由在皇家波思科尔获胜后，这是日本选手连续第二次获得女子英国公开赛冠军。久胁常因其时尚风格而闻名，她成为过去三年中，第五位赢得 LPGA 大奖赛的日本选手。

周一，2026 年 8 月 3 日 . 华盛顿邮报 EZ SU C3 路透社 达拉斯牛仔队的所有者杰里·琼斯承认，他将考虑为 AT&T 体育场的西向窗户安装色板。做出这一决定是因为国际足联（FIFA）要求在最近该场地举行的世界杯比赛期间关闭窗帘。“好吧，你知道怎么回事吗？”琼斯告诉 Fox 4 电视台。“考虑这件事和采取行动是两回事。……但我会考虑的。在一年中的这个时间点很难判断，因为太阳的位置不一样。现在的太阳和秋天的时候不同。而且，进入——太阳会变化，从 9 月开始到全年太阳的角度都会改变。但就我们来看，我喜欢色板的一些效果。所以我们正在考虑这件事。”在傍晚的比赛中，阳光会透过底线区射入，虽然营造出一种美感，但有时也会影响比赛进程。例如，在 2024 年 11 月 10 日以 34-6 负于费城的比赛中，牛仔队的明星宽接手 CeeDee Lamb 因为光线刺眼而接掉了一个简单的达阵传球。“我看不见球。完全看不见球。是太阳在干扰，”Lamb 当时这样说道。

l 休斯顿德州人：前 1 号选秀球员 Jadeveon Clowney 将在 2018 赛季后首次回归休斯顿。据休斯顿 KPRC2 报道，Clowney 将签署一份底薪 550 万美元、最高价值 800 万美元的合同。该报道出现在德州人队重新签下老将防御端锋 Mario Edwards 之后，后者在过去两个赛季效力于该球队。球队尚未确认签下 Clowney 的消息。这两次动作都增加了前线四人组的深度，该防线由 Danielle Hunter（上赛季 15 次擒杀）和 Will Anderson（2025 年 12 次擒杀）领衔。

l 新奥尔良圣徒：教练 Kellen Moore 确认，新奥尔良防守截锋 Bryan Bresee 将因 ACL 撕裂接受赛季报销的手术。Bresee 在周三（训练营首日）受伤。圣徒队在 2023 年选秀中通过首轮（总第 29 顺位）从克莱姆森大学选中了 Bresee——他在达马斯库斯高中就读期间曾获 2019 年全都会区最佳防守球员。圣徒队还将 24 岁的宽接手 Ja’Lynn Polk 列入预备 / 退役名单。Polk 决定退役的原因尚不清楚。Moore 表示，Polk 因个人原因被允许缺席过去两场训练营练习。这位宽接手的 Instagram 账号似乎也被停用或删除。Polk 是新英格兰爱国者队在 2024 年选秀中的第 37 顺位选秀球员。

l 亚利桑那红雀：亚利桑那队周六将防守截锋 PJ Mustipher 列入伤员名单，原因是脚部受伤，这意味着他将错过整个 2026 赛季。红雀队还将后卫 Jaden Davis 列入伤员名单，原因是在球队训练营第二次穿护具练习期间受了未公开的伤。作为相应的动作，红雀队签下了 27 岁的防守线锋 Brodric Martin 和 25 岁的安全卫 Quinton Newsome。

l 其他：Andrus Peat 在其 11 年的 NFL 职业生涯中曾三次入选 Pro Bowl 护卫位置，他在周末通过 Instagram 帖子宣布退役。Peat 从 2015 年到 2023 年一直是圣徒队的主力。新奥尔良队在 2015 年选秀中以第 13 顺位选中了这位身高 6 英尺 7 英寸、体重 315 磅的斯坦福大学护卫。他为圣徒队出场 117 场比赛中的 108 场（包括季后赛），并从 2018 年到 2020 年入选 Pro Bowl。这位 32 岁的人员还曾在拉斯维加斯突袭者队和匹兹堡钢骑士队效力。

在 NFL 中，从分区垫底上升到第一绝非罕见。由于垫底球队拥有如有利的赛程安排和更高选秀顺位等优势，自 2002 年重新划分以来，已有 27 家俱乐部在经历一次垫底赛季后，在次年赢得了分区冠军。新英格兰爱国者队和芝加哥熊队在上赛季都实现了这一飞跃，这使得在过去六个赛季中，至少有一支球队达成此成就的情况出现了五次。

也许没有哪支球队比底特律狮队更有机会在本赛季反弹。狮队上赛季以 9-8 的战绩在 NFC 北区排名第四，并且仍然保留了许多帮助他们在 2024 年获得 NFC 季后赛顶级种子席位的关键成员。狮队的防守端受到了伤病困扰，并且在接替进攻端主教练本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）方面陷入挣扎。在约翰·莫顿（John Morton）于赛季中期被剥夺主攻职责后，德鲁·佩齐格（Drew Petzig）在休赛期被聘为进攻协调员。

赛程安排应该有利于狮队。在除掉那个始终强悍的分区之外的 11 场比赛中，有 9 场是对阵上赛季战绩低于 5 成胜率的球队。

以下是根据 BetMGM 体育博彩公司预测的完赛第一名赔率所列出的竞争者：

底特律狮队 赢得分区的赔率：+175。 乐观原因：在竞争极其激烈的 NFC 北区中，上赛季所有四支球队均以胜率高于 5 成完赛，而狮队在其中拥有最高的夺冠赔率。佩齐格接手的进攻线可能成为最具威力的进攻线之一，拥有贾里德·戈夫（Jared Goff）、阿蒙-拉·圣布朗（Amon-Ra St. Brown）、佩内·塞维尔（Penei Sewell）、贾米尔·吉布斯（Jahmyr Gibbs）和萨姆·拉波塔（Sam LaPorta）等球星。 悲观原因：近年来一直是球队强项的进攻线目前存在多个疑问。塞维尔从右截锋转为左截锋，而其他四个位置由未经证明的球员把守，包括首轮选秀的右截锋布莱克·米勒（Blake Miller）。后防线也是一个主要担忧，安全卫布莱恩·布兰奇（Brian Branch）和克比·约瑟夫（Kerby Joseph）受到的伤病可能会持续到赛季期间。

新奥尔良圣徒队 赢得分区的赔率：+260。 乐观原因：四分卫泰勒·肖（Tyler Shough）在作为新秀的 9 次首发中展现了潜力，在他在队中领航期间，圣徒队赢得了六场胜利中的五场。新奥尔良拥有稳固的进攻线，宽接手位置上有克里斯·奥拉夫（Chris Olave）和新秀乔丹·泰森（Jordan Tyson），以及在协调员布兰登·斯特利（Brandon Staley）带领下大有改善的防线。由于 NFC 南区上赛季没有一支球队以胜率高于 5 成完赛，垫底与第一之间的差距很小。 悲观原因：奥拉夫上赛季出战了 16 场比赛，但他有脑震荡病史，对于一支进攻端缺乏成熟球星的球队来说，这是一个隐忧。在传球冲压方面，卡梅隆·乔丹（Cameron Jordan）去年贡献了 10.5 次擒杀，但在年满 37 岁后，他可能需要更多帮助。如果肖的状态下滑，圣徒队可能会面临连续第六个赛季无缘季后赛的局面。

纽约巨人队 赢得分区的赔率：+550。 乐观原因：新教练约翰·哈鲍（John Harbaugh）为这支需要巨大冲击的球队带来了经证明的成功记录。贾克森·达特（Jaxson Dart）在新秀赛季表现出潜力，有 15 次传球达阵和 9 次冲球达阵，如果宽接手马利克·纳伯斯（Malik Nabers）健康，他在第二年可能会表现得更好。布莱恩·伯恩斯（Brian Burns）和阿卜杜勒·卡特（Abdul Carter）为纽约队在传球冲压位置上提供了潜在的强力双核组合，新秀阿维尔·里斯（Arvell Reese）也可能在防守端立即产生影响。

悲观原因：巨人队上赛季拥有联盟最差的跑守防御之一，并且在休赛期交易走了防守截锋 Dexter Lawrence。这在内线防守端留下了一个潜在的巨大漏洞。如果 Nabers 不能恢复到 2024 年新秀赛季的状态，进攻端将缺乏外围组织者。

田纳西泰坦队 夺区赔率：+850。 乐观原因：如果 Cam Ward 在作为 1 号整体选秀（状元秀）经历新秀赛季挣扎后，在第二年能取得重大进步，且新教练 Robert Saleh 能改善防守，那么在经历了连续两个赛季仅获三胜后，泰坦队可能会实现飞跃。明星防守截锋 Jeffery Simmons 稳固了防守端，而新秀外接手 Carnell Tate 应该能为 Ward 在外围提供强力支持。 悲观原因：进攻线仍然是联盟最差的之一，可能会阻碍 Ward 的进步。防守端在休赛期经历了大规模重组，但可能需要不止一个赛季才能恢复竞争力。

克利夫兰布朗队 夺区赔率：+2,000。 乐观原因：布朗队从去年的选秀班底中获得了重大贡献，领头的是年度最佳防守新秀 Carson Schwesinger、高效的近端锋 Harold Fannin Jr.、跑卫 Quinshon Judkins 以及防守截锋 Mason Graham。凭借 4 月份在前两轮的四次选秀权，布朗队希望他们增加了更多的建设基石。 悲观原因：在布朗队找到四分卫之前，其他因素都不太重要。Deshaun Watson 正从导致他整个上赛季缺席的跟腱伤势中恢复，但自 2020 年以来，他一直不是一名高效的四分卫。Shedeur Sanders 作为新秀首发了 7 场比赛，但没有表现出成为球队核心四分卫的迹象。进攻线仍然是一个主要问题，而且在年度最佳防守球员 Myles Garrett 被交易到洛杉矶公羊队后，防守端必须填补他的空缺。

纽约喷气机队 夺区赔率：+2,000。 乐观原因：在教练 Aaron Glenn 领导下的教职员工重组将带来进步，而且得益于好得多的进攻线，新四分卫 Geno Smith 将更像他在西雅图时的传球手，而非上赛季在突袭者队时的样子。 悲观原因：喷气机队拥有 NFL 中最长的季后赛绝迹期，已达 15 个赛季，他们需要大量工作才能重返竞争行列。Smith 上赛季是联盟中最差的四分卫之一。

拉斯维加斯突袭者队 夺区赔率：+2,200。 乐观原因：在 Pete Carroll 执教、仅获三胜的上赛季之后，唯一的方向就是上升。新教练 Klint Kubiak 在作为进攻协调员帮助西雅图赢得上赛季超级碗后接手球队，并将围绕 1 号选秀球员 Fernando Mendoza 打造进攻体系。随着自由球员 Tyler Linderbaum 的加盟和健康的 Kolton Miller，进攻线应该会有所改善，且球队拥有 Brock Bowers 和 Ashton Jeanty 这两名年轻的组织者。 悲观原因：突袭者队处于一个艰难的赛区，除了堪萨斯城酋长队，还有两支重返季后赛的球队：丹佛野马队和洛杉矶闪电队。困扰拉斯维加斯队的上赛季问题可能需要一年以上的时间才能解决。除了 Maxx Crosby，防守端缺乏明星球员，外接手实力薄弱，且进攻线上有 3 个位置存在疑问。

亚利桑那红雀队 夺区赔率：+10,000。 乐观原因：亚利桑那队希望新教练 Mike LaFleur 能帮助激活进攻端，其特点是拥有诸如全明星近端锋 Trey McBride、第 3 顺位选秀跑卫 Jeremiyah Love 以及 1,000 码级别的

外接手迈克尔·威尔逊（Michael Wilson）和前第 4 顺位选手的马文·哈里森二世（Marvin Harrison Jr.）同样在接球位置上。悲观的原因：红雀队处于一个极其艰难的分区中，卫冕冠军西雅图海鹰队、超级碗热门洛杉矶 the Rams 以及旧金山 49 人队都刚刚经历了季后赛赛季。老将雅各比·布里塞特（Jacoby Brissett）将作为首发四分卫开始赛季，第三轮新秀卡森·贝克（Carson Beck）担任替补。——美联社

狮子队是那些能够从分区垫底跃升至第一名的候选球队之首 Junfu Han / USA TODAY Network 由四分卫贾里德·戈夫（Jared Goff，16 号）领衔的狮子队一直是 NFC 北区冠军的有力竞争者，但他们上赛季以 9-8 的战绩排名垫底。

monday, august 3, 2026 . 华盛顿邮报 EZ SU C5 奥兰多·里博尔塔 (Orlando Ribalta) 在第七局因自己的传球失误导致又丢了一分非自责分。华盛顿队的 88 次失误在全大联盟中以绝对优势排名最高。由于国民队的进攻依然相当乏力——他们在第四局之后没有记录到任何安打，且在得点圈有跑者时仅以 1 for 6 的效率得分——这些失误正是勇士队所需的一切。

“你肯定讨厌被横扫，”卡瓦利 (Cavalli) 说道。“这很令人沮丧，但我们还剩下 49 场比赛，我们必须继续前进并投入竞争。你永远不知道会发生什么。”

现在，随着国民队前往费城进行一个四场比赛的系列赛，他们失去了一名在队中效力时间最长的球员。在周一 6 p.m. 的截止日期之前，可能会有更多交易达成，福斯特·格里芬 (Foster Griffin) 也引起了关注。交易加西亚 (García) 标志着球队正在抛售。但亚布拉姆斯 (Abrams) 表示，国民队并没有放弃。

“我们希望赢得尽可能多的比赛，”亚布拉姆斯说。“本周的情况没能按计划进行，但下周可以。”

……这一天，如果你试图关掉那些声音并假装它们不存在，我认为只会引发更多的质疑：‘你为什么要这么做？是不是你知道一些我们不知道的事情？’让我们把一切都留在赛场上吧。”

在周日的失利中，卡瓦利投了 6 局，丢了 2 分自责分，两分均来自个人全垒打。迈克·亚斯特雷姆斯基 (Mike Yastrzemski) 在第三局击出一球，让勇士队率先得分。国民队在第四局做出回应，在一次出局的情况下满垒，当 JR 里奇 (JR Ritchie) 的曲球击中查帕罗 (Chaparro) 的头部时，双方比分扳平。他最初留在比赛中，但随后感到眩晕，在第五局被换下。詹姆斯·伍德 (James Wood) 在第四局击出了一次牺牲飞球得分，将比分变为 2-1，但勇士队的马特·奥尔森 (Matt Olson) 立即做出回应，在下半局首位击球时击出一发个人全垒打。

亚特兰大队在第五局取得了最终领先。奥斯汀·赖利 (Austin Riley)击出二垒安打，吉姆·贾维斯 (Jim Jarvis) 击出的一记地滚球传给 CJ 亚布拉姆斯 (CJ Abrams)，但亚布拉姆斯的传球过高，豪斯 (House) 无法接住。球滚向勇士队的休息区，使得赖利得分。

这是国民队本赛季最长的一次连败，并使他们在近三个月来首次在 .500 (500) 胜率之下 3 场。凯德·卡瓦利 (Cade Cavalli) 表示，球员们互相叮嘱要忽略截止日期的喧嚣，专心比赛，即便队友们的前途正悬而未决。

“如果你允许自己的心思漂向那些地方，那是对自己不利的，”周日尽管表现稳健但仍承担败仗的卡瓦利说。“归根结底，那是我们无法控制的。”

尽管如此，这很难避免，即使他们尝试这样做。周日早晨，三台电视全部调到了 MLB Network 频道，扬声器里响彻着评论员们讨论潜在交易的声音，其中包括涉及华盛顿队休息室球员的交易。布特拉 (Butera) 在赛前表示，电视一直开着，因为球员需要学习如何处理外界的干扰。

“这是他们所处行业的组成部分，”布特拉说。

佐佐木朗希 (Roki Sasaki) 自全明星赛后表现惊人——那个新手套取得了巨大的成功——但他仍然……

从未参加过季后赛比赛。尽管贾斯汀·罗布莱斯基（Justin Wrobleski）在这个夏天表现出令人惊讶的卓越，但情况也是如此。这一切可能会变得很有趣，但不应该是悬念。斯库巴尔（Skubal）解决了所有谜团。斯库巴尔终结了所有争论。斯库巴尔拯救了这个夏天。

道奇队是所有体育赛事中最追求冠军、球迷最忠诚的球队。为了赢球，他们将不惜一切代价，无论通过什么手段，无论何时。五个字就足以明确证明这一点：塔里克·斯库巴尔（Tarik Skubal）成了道奇球员。

道奇队能够承受将大谷翔平完全移出轮值名单，让他专注于进攻——由于投球问题，进攻端受到了一定影响。但大谷会接受这种可能感觉像降级的变动吗？大谷始终将获胜放在首位，但他在赛季开始时也公开承认自己在追求赛扬奖（Cy Young Award）。所以，情况是这样的。

道奇队仍需要一些好运来完善轮值。据说斯内尔（Snell）和格拉斯诺（Glasnow）都即将从实际上是整个赛季的伤病中恢复。但他们在十月份时都将 33 岁，所以只相信你亲眼看到的。

在经历了 5 月 6 日的一项新型微创手术以清除肘部游离体后。如果用传统方式进行类似手术，恢复时间需要两到三个月，而他在一个月后就回到了比赛场上的投手丘。这次新手术能否撑住？时间会给出答案，但道奇队将屏息以待。

在山本由伸（Yoshinobu Yamamoto）和斯库巴尔之后，道奇队面临另一个潜在的重大问题：大谷翔平怎么办？他曾应对膝盖僵硬的问题，现在他又面临肱二头肌疼痛。道奇队暂时让他远离投手丘，但十月份会发生什么？

在获得斯库巴尔之后，由于布莱克·斯内尔（Blake Snell）和泰勒·格拉斯诺（Tyler Glasnow）仍因伤缺阵，斯库巴尔可以填补轮值中的 2 号位置。如果每个人都能恢复健康，这个轮值可能会成为棒球历史上最强的。

当然，借用科比·布莱恩特（Kobe Bryant）那句名言，任务尚未完成。即使对于一支拥有所有答案的球队，仍然存在疑问。斯库巴尔在季后赛中是一名极其出色的投手，在 6 场先发中自责分率（ERA）为 2.04，但经过手术修复的左肘能否撑过他的第三次季后赛？在过去两个赛季投球数接近 200 局后，他接受了手术。

棒球 从 C1 视角看斯库巴尔 道奇队连续第三次夺冠已成定局 作者：JAKE KAUDERER

巴尔的摩 —— 本周末，巴尔的摩金莺队在周一交易截止日之前，给棒球运营总裁迈克·埃利亚斯（Mike Elias）留下了深刻的印象。但并非好事。周六，巴尔的摩在主场遭遇本赛季首次被零封。紧接着，金莺队在周日再次表现低迷，在一场因雨缩短为 6 局的比赛中以 8-0, 负于费城人队。此次失败使他们与美联最后一个外卡席位相差 21 1 / 2 场。

“我信任迈克 [埃利亚斯]，我知道现在的截止日期有点奇怪，每个人都身处其中，”经理克雷格·阿尔伯纳兹（Craig Albernaz）表示。“无论发生什么，就让它发生吧。在这个比赛中，你无法掌控所有事情。”

原计划周日将是两名王牌——扎克·惠勒（Zack Wheeler）和凯尔·布拉迪什（Kyle Bradish）的对决。但第三局中段近两小时的雨停导致两人提前结束比赛。惠勒仅投了 2 局且未失分。布拉迪什艰难地投了 3 局，在费城人队 9 号击球手布莱恩·德拉·克鲁兹（Bryan De La Cruz）的一次本垒打中失 2 分。

雨停后，巴尔的摩的牛棚崩溃了。安东尼·努涅斯（Anthony Nunez）在第四局丢 2 分，乔什·沃克（Josh Walker）在第五局被布莱斯·哈珀（Bryce Harper）击出solo本垒打，而阿尔伯特（Albert）...

Suárez在第六局又丢了三分。在金莺队（54-58）表现低迷期间，卡姆登球场频繁响起“费城人加油”的口号。“确实令人沮丧，”中外野手科尔顿·考瑟说道，“绝对清楚这些[比赛]有多重要。”根据 FanGraphs 的数据，巴尔的摩队在周日进入比赛时，进入季后赛的概率为 22.5%。埃利亚斯在周五下午表示，他不会将球队的所有筹码都押在这一季上，并补充说他不会在买入或卖出之间有强烈的倾向。但那天晚上，他做出了一项表明倾向于后者的举措。巴尔的摩将先发球员迪恩·克雷默交易到了明尼苏达双城队，以换取 18 岁的新秀约姆纳多·雷耶斯。这一举动让人联想到去年，当时金莺队在截止日期前用 9 名大联盟球员换回了 16 名新秀——这是一次全面的抛售。显而易见的限制条件是，克雷默并非巴尔的摩能交易掉的最知名球员。这位 30 岁的球员在今年 7 场先发比赛中的防御率为 6.50。克里斯·巴西特回归后可以填补克雷默在轮值中的位置。——《巴尔的摩太阳报》

最近的失利并没有给金莺队提供太多买入的理由 费城人 8, 金莺 0 (6)

他弥合了讲西班牙语和讲英语球员之间的鸿沟，并以营造轻松氛围而闻名。他与阵容中的每位主力都有独特的击掌方式，在赛前、击出强有力安打后或任何感觉合适的时刻，他都会与他们执行。布雷迪·豪斯说，他无法在不笑的情况下与加西亚对话。凯德·卡瓦利说他拥有一种具有感染力的能量。“他一直是一位伟大的朋友，一名伟大的队友，”卡瓦利说，“我很喜欢与他一起比赛。……他真的是一个特别的人。” 7 月首秀的阿比·奥尔蒂斯很可能是加西亚的临时替代者。奥尔蒂斯的 MLB 生涯开局为 1 for 2，本赛季在罗切斯特队的打击率为 .244，OPS 为 .845。国民队在上周末用内野手柯蒂斯·米德交换了先发投手康尼利·厄利，可能还没有停止交易。本赛季结束后成为自由球员的福斯特·格里芬可能很快也会发现自己身处新球队。华盛顿的新教练组帮助他提高了挥棒速度，并精准锁定需要击中的球路。“他是一个不可思议的人，一个不可思议的队友，这个更衣室中一个不可思议的领导者，一个不可思议的球员，”经理布莱克·布特拉说。“他完成了我们要求他做的一切。……他是我们团队的重要组成部分，也是我们成功的重要部分。”

但加西亚在击球区上的产出并非国民队关心的全部。他在该组织中成长，从 2020, 年首秀时 20 岁的孩子，变成了 26 岁的更衣室领导者和父亲。2022, 年被交易到国民队的 CJ 亚伯拉姆斯说，加西亚是他加入球队后结交的第一位球员。四年后，这种纽带依然存在。“那是我的兄弟，”亚伯拉姆斯说，“无论他在哪个球队，我们永远会有这种联系。那是我的哥们儿。”

加西亚弥合了投手的差距，应该会对国民队产生长期帮助，但与加西亚分别会留下遗憾。他与华盛顿共同成长，于 2016. 年作为国际自由球员签约。他在 2020, 年实现了 MLB 首秀，与马克斯·舍尔泽、特里亚·特纳和胡安·索托等超级巨星共用更衣室。“所有这些人教导我，塑造了我成为今天的球员和这样一个人，”加西亚说。“进入今年，我被视为这个更衣室的领导者。因此对我来说，将这一点传递给这里的每个人，我所有的队友，尤其是年轻人，这对我来说非常重要。”加西亚一直是一个稳定的组成部分。

国民队的阵容在过去六年里，他主要担任二垒手，偶尔兼任游击手，随后在 2026. 年被移至一垒。这个赛季是 García 职业生涯的最佳赛季，打击率、长击率、本垒打和打点均创下职业生涯新高。他将部分进步归功于扬基队，其职业生涯 ERA 为 4.90。在 7 月 19 日面对洛杉矶道奇队失掉 5 分，导致其 ERA 飙升至 5.93 之后，纽约队将他降级至 AAA 级的 Scranton / Wilkes-Barre。国民队在周日将他选择至 AAA 级的 Rochester。Cruz，26 岁，于 5 月完成大联盟首秀，在 51 / 3 局中仅失 1 分。他的 ERA 为 3.53，在赛季大部分时间所在的 Scranton / Wilkes-Barre 投球期间，他让近三分之一的对方击球手出局。在 MLB Pipeline 的国民队顶尖新秀名单中，他排名第 30 位。Grable，24 岁，当时在 AA 级的 Somerset 投球，他在牛棚投球的 29 局中 ERA 为 2.79。Cebert 同样 24 岁，也在 AA 级。他本赛季首发 14 场，ERA 为 4.03。在华盛顿队的体系中，Grable 和 Cebert 分别排名第 26 和 14 位。虽然增加了四名 García，但 C1 García 在另一场苦乐参半的交换中前往扬基队。Erik S. Lesser / AP 一垒手 Luis García Jr.（中）是国民队中资历最深的一员。他正经历一个职业生涯之年，打击率为 .283，击出 23 支本垒打。美联社（ASSOCIATED PRESS）

排名第一的坦帕湾射线队在周日加强了其首发轮候，通过用三名小联盟球员从陷入困境的纽约大都会队交易得到了右投 Freddy Peralta。Peralta 曾两次入选全明星赛，将在今年秋天成为自由球员；在 1 月的交易中被大都会队从密尔沃基队引进后，他在大都会队的表现令人失望。“他倾尽所有，每天都登上投手丘并全力竞争，”大都会队临时经理 Andy Green 表示。“我知道他想要更好的结果。我认为当我们达成交易引进他时，我们都希望在今天能看到与现状不同的局面。” Peralta 可以帮助射线队强大的投手阵容，该队在美联联盟中以 65-46 的战绩排名第一。“Freddy 是一名经验丰富的大联盟首发投手，拥有高强度比赛经验和出色的记录，”射线队棒球运营总裁 Erik Neander 在一份声明中说道。“增加一名像他这样水准的投手和竞争者，将增强我们在前进过程中的团队实力。”

排名垫底的大都会队在交换 Peralta 后得到了外野手 Aidan Smith、内野手 Émilien Pitre 和右投 Gary Gill Hill。Pitre 是坦帕湾在 2024 届选秀中的第二轮选秀球员，而 Hill 是 2022 年的第六轮选秀球员。Smith 是西雅图水手队在 2023 年第四轮选中的球员，水手队在 2024 年的 Randy Arozarena 交易中将其送至射线队。在上个休赛期加入大都会队之前，Peralta 在 2025. 年的 33 场首发中取得 17-6 的战绩，ERA 为 2.70。他领跑国家联盟胜场数，在赛扬奖（Cy Young Award）投票中排名第五，并帮助酿造者队连续第三次夺得国家联盟中区冠军。去年冬天，纽约队将年轻人 Brandon Sproat 和 Jett Williams 送往酿造者队以换取 Peralta 和右投 Tobias Myers，在预期 Peralta 将成为球队所需的前线首发投手的情况下，放弃了两名被评为全联盟前 100 名新秀的球员。然而，他在 22 场首发中仅取得 5-9 的战绩，ERA 为 4.99，且在为大都会队出战的最后 5 场比赛中有 4 场未能完成 5 局投球。

l 小熊队：芝加哥通过与多伦多蓝鸟队的交易获得了右投 Kevin Gausman，从而加强了其轮候阵容。

蓝鸟队，一名熟悉该交易的人员在要求匿名的条件下告诉美联社，因为该交易尚未正式公布。耐用的 Gausman 在本赛季结束后将成为自由球员，他在 23 次先发中取得了 5-10 的战绩，防御率 (ERA) 为 4.38。在之前的五年里，他每年至少投球 1742 / 3 局并至少先发 31 次。蓝鸟队在这次交易中获得了小联盟球员 Brett Bateman 和 Ty Southisene。外野手 Bateman 是 2023 年业余选秀的第八轮选秀球员，而内野手 Southisene 是 2024 年的第四轮选秀球员。芝加哥队还用右投手 Jameson Taillon 和现金与多伦多队交换一名待定球员或现金。Taillon 上周被小熊队指定转让。

勇士队：亚特兰大队从堪萨斯市皇家队获得了外野手 Lane Thomas 和小联盟左投手 Bailey Falter，以换取两名小联盟投手。Thomas 在堪萨斯市的 96 场比赛中，三击率 / 上垒率 / 长击率分别为 .230 / .325 / .392。这位前华盛顿国民队的强力击球手今年主要在中外野手位置上打球，但在亚特兰大队将转至左外野手，并可能与 Mike Yastrzemski 轮换出场。Thomas 在面对左投手时职业生涯的打击率为 .288。根据 Anthopoulos 的说法，Falter 将前往 AAA 级的 Gwinnett 队报到。本赛季的大部分时间他都在 AAA 级的 Omaha 队度过。勇士队将右投手 Lucas Braun 和左投手 Carter Holton送至皇家队。

KLMNO 都市周一，2026年8月3日 EZ RE C7 作者：SYDNEY PAGE 戴夫·科默 (Dave Comer) 驾车经过弗吉尼亚州林奇堡 (Lynchburg, Virginia) 时，发现一只受伤的动物躺在高速公路路边。“我看到它在动，于是就停了下来，”科默说道。他住在华盛顿，与妻子在弗吉尼亚州尼尔逊县 (Nelson County, Virginia) 经营着一家农场。他走近这只巨大的白色动物，发现是一只火鸡。“它伤得相当严重，”科默说。5月8日，他正从工作地点南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿 (Charleston, South Carolina) 开车前往农场。接着，科默做出了大多数人可能不会做的事：“我把它抱起来，放在了乘客座上，”他说。当科默带着一只 38 磅重的鸟坐在身边到达农场时，他的妻子愣住了。“那是一只巨大的火鸡，”克里斯蒂娜·吉布森-科默 (Christina Gibson-Comer) 说，“可怜的小家伙看起来病恹恹的。”这对夫妇认为这只火鸡——一只宽胸白火鸡，这是最受欢迎的商业品种——原本正被运往屠宰场，结果不知怎么地从牲畜运输车中逃脱了。

（见 C9 页“宠物火鸡”） 火鸡切斯特 (Chester) 逃离屠宰场，找到了一个家庭 他在高速公路边被发现受伤，现在每天吃葡萄、看警察剧，并接受一名友好的联邦快递 (FedEx) 司机的抚摸。 克里斯蒂娜·吉布森-科默 火鸡切斯特在7月4日独立日佩戴着一面星条旗图案的围巾。至于他是否会庆祝感恩节，目前尚无消息。

（见 C9 页“失踪青少年”） 多年来，密尔沃基 (Milwaukee) 的警方接到了来自全国各地的线索，关于一名在 2022 年失踪的 15 岁黑人女孩。 2022年失踪的密尔沃基青少年在布莱克斯堡 (Blacksburg) 被找到 一名 37 岁男子被指控绑架和性侵犯 作者：JASMINE GOLDEN 和 MAIA NEHME 一些致力于寻找失踪黑人（尤其是妇女和儿童）的倡导团体参与其中。在法庭文件中，密尔沃基县的当局表示，一名青少年告诉警方，她从 12 岁起就与安德森 (Anderson) 保持联系。他们使用了包括 Kik、Discord 和 Signal 在内的即时通讯平台。文件指出，该青少年谈到了家庭中的挣扎，而安德森承诺“绝不会打她，绝不会对她大吼大叫”。

根据记录，安德森被捕时携带了枪支、刀具和辣椒喷雾。安德森目前被羁押在弗吉尼亚州的一所监狱中，不得保释。在线法院记录中为其列出的律师在周五未回应置评请求。《华盛顿邮报》无法联系到该青少年的家人，且在未获得同意的情况下，不对涉嫌性虐待的受害者进行身份识别。这名女孩的失踪多年来引起了关注。来自布莱克斯堡、现年 37 岁的安德森还面临威斯康星州和弗吉尼亚州的额外指控，包括绑架和持有儿童色情虐待材料。法院记录指控安德森将该青少年诱骗离开其位于威斯康星州的家中，并将其拘留在弗吉尼亚州的住所内，时间从 2022 年 6 月 26 日起至今年 5 月下旬。记录称，他禁止该青少年上学，并对其进行了身体和性侵害。女孩告诉警方，如果她尝试离开，他威胁要伤害她和她的家人。

随后在 5 月，距离该地 700 多英里外的一座弗吉尼亚州小镇的警员被派往一户人家调查一起家庭纠纷。根据法院记录，报警者称自己就是那名失踪的青少年，多年来一直被违背意愿地囚禁。弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的警方表示，警员将报警者转移到了安全地带。他们随后逮捕了涉嫌绑架她的男子，指控其勒颈和绑架儿童等罪名。两个月后，欧文·拉尔斯 (Owen Lars) 作者：LIAM BOWMAN 在约翰·霍普金斯 (Johns Hopkins) 之后

大学公共卫生研究员 Fatima Ameaka 在周二登乘一架国内航班时被移民当局拘留，国土安全部表示她逾期停留签证，“违反了我国法律”。Ameaka 的律师 Benjamin Osorio 表示该说法“并非事实”，并引用了他认为能支持其当事人主张的移民文件。Ameaka 是喀麦隆人，她在约翰霍普金斯大学的同事对其在推进公共卫生方面的工作赞誉有加。她从巴尔的摩-华盛顿国际马歇尔机场被转移至位于弗吉尼亚州、路易斯安那州和德克萨斯州的美国移民与海关执法局 (ICE) 设施中，直到周五晚些时候才获释。她的案例表明，特朗普政府已开始利用国内航空旅行以及指控外国国民违反签证规定，作为在全国范围内加大驱逐力度的一种手段。国土安全部官员表示，他们的目标是“确保非法在我国境内逗留的外国人除非是为了自我遣返回国，否则不能再乘坐飞机”。一些移民及其律师表示，这一举措已经产生了威慑作用，让人们不敢乘机，部分律师甚至警告其客户不要冒险。

31 岁的 Ameaka 于 2023 年 6 月通过富布赖特奖学金合法进入美国，攻读公共卫生硕士学位。根据她的 LinkedIn 个人资料以及对其同事的采访，她的富布赖特奖学金于 2024 年 6 月结束，随后她在同年 9 月被该大学聘为研究助理。Ameaka 就职的约翰霍普金斯健康安全中心主任 Tom Inglesby 表示，她是来美国攻读“富布赖特学位，然后持签证留在我们的中心工作”。由其律师提供的一份就业授权文件副本显示，该文件有效期至 2029 年 12 月。

Ameaka 的律师 Osorio 表示，国土安全部在 Ameaka 逮捕时提交的拘留通知中包含不准确的信息，这与政府自身的记录相矛盾。该通知称，Ameaka 是作为“非移民船员 / 机组人员（海运或空运）”进入美国的，拥有临时留在美国的授权，且她在 2024 年 6 月 14 日之后在没有联邦当局“授权”的情况下继续留在境内。但根据 Osorio 提供的一张截图，美国海关和边境保护局的记录显示，Ameaka 是持 J-1 学生签证入境的。国土安全部的一位发言人未对这一差异的置评请求做出回应。Osorio 表示，Ameaka 持学生签证抵达后，成功申请了临时保护身份，而拜登政府此前曾……

星期一，2026 年 8 月 3 日 . 华盛顿邮报 EZ RE C9 起初没有向当局提供她的真实姓名，但后来在与警方交谈时透露了她的“真实身份”，并披露了关于她涉嫌被绑架和虐待的细节。周五，密尔沃基警方表示，在一宗四年前的失踪人口案中，该名青少年已被找到，但表示隐私法禁止他们分享进一步的信息。Feuerbach 还记得曾看到一名年轻女性住在那个房子里。他以为那是 Anderson 的女儿，并会“偶尔”向她挥手，尽管他不记得与她交谈过。他看到了 5 月份时包围其邻居家的警车。根据威斯康星州的起诉书，这名年轻女性在车辆中。住在黑堡 (Blacksburg) Anderson 隔壁的 Doug Feuerbach，76, 岁，回忆起大约一年前的一次“奇怪”互动，当时他走进了两人共用的后院中属于 Anderson 的部分。据 Feuerbach 称，Anderson 告诉他不要进入其财产，并声称自己是一名练习武术的政府雇员。

失踪青少年（续自 C7） 嫌疑人在一次“奇怪”的互动中告诉邻居不要进入其财产 作者：MICHAEL MARTZ 里士满时报-派遣报 (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

弗吉尼亚州共和党人本周将在三位寻求共和党提名以挑战民主党参议员马克·华纳 (Mark Warner) 的费尔法克斯县候选人中做出选择。这三位——金·法灵顿 (Kim Farington)、伯特·水泽 (Bert Mizusawa) 和大卫·厄尔·威廉姆斯 (David Earl Williams)——都是在联邦政府工作过的政治新人，但他们面对的是一个强大的对手华纳，这位前州长截至 7 月 15, 日在金库中拥有超过 $16 百万美元的资金，而该赛道将在周二的全州共和党初选后转向

大选。曾担任共和党代表并领导全州商业组织 Virginia FREE（该组织密切关注州政治）的克里斯·萨克斯曼 (Chris Saxman) 表示，美国陆军退役少将水泽在资金、知名度和组织方面似乎比他的初选对手更具优势。萨克斯曼在最近的一次采访中说：“他给人的感觉就是三位候选人中最强的一位。但我认为他们中没有人能提供令人信服的理由。”水泽在很大程度上依赖于他在国家安全方面的背景，包括在军队以及联邦政府的文职角色中。作为一名陆军少将，在美国战争期间，他曾担任打击腐败、毒品贩运、恐怖融资和其他非法活动的联合跨机构特遣部队指挥官，任期 2 年。

阿富汗。他是一名麦克莱恩居民，曾担任陆军副次长三年，并曾为参议院军事委员会主席工作。他的竞选网站重点介绍了他在简化联邦税法、支持军方、维护第二修正案持枪权以及促进核能发展方面的立场。周五，水泽（Mizusawa）获得了州参议员马克·D·奥本舍恩（Mark D. Obenshain，共和党-罗金汉姆）的背书，后者是弗吉尼亚州参议院共和党党团主席。此前，他已经获得了州参议员路德·亨利·赛弗斯三世（Luther Henry Cifers III，共和党-普林斯爱德华）和前国会议员塞玛·德雷克（Thelma Drake，共和党-弗吉尼亚）的背书。“伯特经过了实战检验——无论是在军队服役还是在公众生活中，”奥本舍恩在声明中表示。“他是一个始终如一、坚持原则的保守主义者，他对我们价值观的承诺从未动摇。同样重要的是，他具备统一共和党人的领导力、经验和判断力，能够开展一场纪律严明的全州竞选，并为我们在11月获胜提供最强有力的机会。”水泽对这次背书表示欢迎。他在一份声明中说：“我们的竞选拥有势头，在弗吉尼亚州每个角落的支持下，我们处于最有利的位置，可以在今年11月将马克·沃纳（Mark Warner）‘开除’。”

来自费尔法克斯站的法灵顿（Farington）是一名注册会计师，曾在联邦政府多个部门担任职务，包括国防部、农业部、人事管理局以及管理和预算办公室。她还是金融管理和网络安全公司 KTech 的创始人兼首席执行官。她的竞选网站主张通过减少联邦政府支出以解决国家债务问题，为小企业提供帮助，支持第二修正案枪支权利，任命“宪法保守派”法官以及教育选择权。

来自雷斯顿的威廉姆斯（Williams）曾在美国海军服役，并曾在海军陆战队担任步兵军官。他曾在国务院工作，并担任中央情报局（CIA）的案件官员。他是海军陆战队预备役的中校。他的竞选网站强调执法、边境安全、教育选择权和家长的教育参与，以及除了军费以外的联邦支出削减。

与 25 年前当选州长前的电信高管沃纳相比，这三位候选人都面临巨大的资金缺口。截至 7 月 15, 水泽筹集了 $376,000，手头拥有 $53,000；法灵顿筹集了近 $146,000，手头拥有 $16,160；而威廉姆斯筹集了 $97,000，手头拥有 $7,187。相比之下，沃纳在过去 18 个月内筹集了 $17.800 万，自上次选举以来筹集了 $25 million。

这位三届任期的参议员是参议院情报遴选委员会的民主党资深成员。他还担任参议院财政委员会以及银行、住房和城市事务委员会成员。沃纳一直针对唐纳德·特朗普总统处理与 伊朗 战争的方式发起攻击，该参议员表示，这导致了汽油、柴油和化肥价格上涨。他还将消费者面临的高物价归咎于总统不断强化的关税政策。他最近提出了一套立法方案，旨在加强对人工智能的监督，包括与支持该技术所需的数据中心相关的监督。

在6月 25.。Gibson-Comer表示，“这真是很独特的一幕”，并补充说，有好几次陌生人告诉她，他们认为他“太可爱了”。这对夫妇表示，养一只宠物火鸡是一项艰苦的工作，并不适合每个人。例如，对火鸡进行家居训练几乎是不可能的。“从来没有冷场的时候，”Comer说。尽管如此，他说他们并不后悔。“他已经成为了家庭的一员。……我们爱他，”Comer说。“这家伙会和我们生活到他生命的终点。”

在农场里，Chester在户外自由漫游，但他在屋内睡觉，通常睡在地板上。他的品种不会飞。“他走得足够慢，所以如果他开始走开且不理会我们的呼唤，我们可以轻松地抓住他，”Comer说。在华盛顿特区，Chester通过纠缠Comer夫妇来示意他想散步，他会叼走他们的鞋子、手机或平板电脑，直到他们带他出去。Comer夫妇给Chester穿上狗用胸背带，这样如果他走在前面，他们可以轻松地抓住他。

“人们会停下来。他们很喜欢他。这是一种锻炼。”在华盛顿特区，Chester享受观看电视上的警车追逐戏（他对警笛的声音特别兴奋），并且喜欢让一名FedEx司机揉他的脖子。“他改变了我对这类动物的整个看法，”Comer说。“无论我们在做什么，他都得参与其中。”

Chester的兽医告诉Comer夫妇，如果照顾得好，他可以活到 10 岁，不过家养火鸡通常没有那么长寿。由于体型巨大，且容易暴饮暴食且不爱运动，它们容易出现健康问题。它们经常患有心脏病、关节损伤和呼吸衰竭。“它们不是为了长寿而培育的，”Comer说。他们喂他吃火鸡专用的干粮，以及水果和蔬菜。他最喜欢的是罗马生菜、西瓜、番茄和葡萄——他经常直接从Gibson-Comer的手中偷走这些食物。“他就像个蹒跚学步的孩子，”Gibson-Comer说。

“他会表演一套跺脚的动作，”Comer说。“这相当有趣。他真是个特别的家伙。”

他头颈部的肉瘤——根据情绪的不同，颜色会在白色、蓝色和红色之间切换。红色通常表示兴奋或主导地位，蓝色表示他很平静或满足，白色则暗示压力或恐惧。“当Dave把他带回家时，他病得很重，脖子和头部真的是白色的，”Gibson-Comer说。“随着他开始好转，我们注意到他变成了蓝色和红色。”

这对夫妇在农场和他们位于切维切斯 (Chevy Chase) 的家中之间分配时间，偶尔会用运输卡车将Chester带到华盛顿特区。

“他做了一次英勇的跳车尝试以争取自由，”Gibson-Comer说。她以一个她从小听到的老式广播剧中的角色将这只火鸡命名为Chester。她记得其中一个片段讲述了一个家庭养了一只名叫Chester的火鸡，打算在感恩节吃掉它，但他们不忍心这样做。“我觉得这个名字太完美了，”Gibson-Comer说。

Comer夫妇带他去看兽医，得知他的左翼骨折且有严重的擦伤。他的喙的一部分也断了。兽医说Chester大约 6 个月大。最初，这对夫妇计划短时间照顾Chester，直到他的健康状况好转，然后尝试为他寻找新家。但他们说，他们很快就喜欢上了他，并决定将他留在身边。

WVTF广播电台报道了这个故事。“我们对他产生了感情，”Comer说，他于 2007 年从美国海军退休，目前在海军的航空母舰设计项目中工作。这对夫妇表示，他们认为Chester之前的生活一直处于禁锢状态。“他第一次走进谷仓院子的时候……”

“他脚下踩着草地，我能感觉到这对他来说太新鲜了，”科默说。“他看起来真的很开心，”吉布森-科默说。切斯特并不是这对夫妇救援的第一只动物——甚至不是第一只鸟——但他是第一只火鸡。他目前是他们唯一的宠物。“当海军把我们带到德克萨斯州时，我们带了一只狗过去，回来时却带回了五只，”吉布森-科默说，并提到他们还收留过受伤的鸽子、一只蓝杰鸟和一只猛禽。“我们绝对是爱动物的人。”科默夫妇育有三个成年子女，他们表示切斯特的个性令他们印象深刻。“他太独特了，而且非常友好，”科默说。“他真的会跟在你身后。”“他的聪明程度让我们非常惊讶，”吉布森-科默补充道。“他知道自己的名字。他还学会了在想无视我们的时候就无视，或者在不想移动的时候发小脾气。”他们可以通过切斯特鼻瘤的颜色来判断他的情绪

C10 EZ 华盛顿邮报 . 星期一, 2026年8月3日 美联社 资深演员文森特·帕斯托雷（Vincent Pastore）去世。他曾饰演黑帮分子和硬汉，最著名的角色是在《黑道家族》（The Sopranos）中扮演萨尔瓦托雷·“大胖子”·邦彭谢罗（Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero）。他享年 80 岁。鲍勃·麦高文（Bob McGowan）自帕斯托雷出演《黑道家族》起就担任其经纪人，他告诉美联社，他是周六从该剧的另一位客户兼演员文森特·库拉托拉（Vincent Curatola）处得知帕斯托雷去世的消息的。他表示，帕斯托雷在几天没有音讯后，被发现在他位于纽约市岛（City Island）的家中。麦高文说，他此前一直试图联系帕斯托雷谈论一个可能的演出机会。“他是最忠诚的客户，而且总是做慈善，”麦高文说，“他是那种会帮助任何人的家伙，这在我的行业里很罕见。” 罗伯特·阿特曼（Robert Attermann）在帕斯托雷出演《黑道家族》之前，曾代表他工作了 30 多年。虽然

阿特曼在给美联社的电子邮件中表示，尽管人们会对帕斯托雷的印象停留在“大胖子”这个角色上，但他的为人远不止于此。“维尼（Vinny）是我认识的最善良、最慷慨的人之一，”阿特曼说。“他以热情和尊重对待每一个人，从未拒绝过想要拍照或签名的粉丝。他真心感激支持他的人，并总是让他们感到被重视。”阿特曼说，帕斯托雷热爱演员这个职业，对自己的工艺充满激情，同时总是鼓励年轻演员，“只要有机会，就会花时间提供指导和支持。” 长期好友兼合作者迈克尔·因佩里奥利（Michael Imperioli）在Instagram上表示，他感觉自己与帕斯托雷认识了很久。“我们一起做了很多工作，去过美国各地，还去了意大利和澳大利亚。很多美好的时光，很多欢笑，”因佩里奥利说。“维尼是一个心地善良的兄弟，深爱他的家人和朋友。我将永远想念他。” 帕斯托雷出演的电影最早可追溯到 20 世纪 80 年代，包括 1990 年的两部大片《好家伙》（Goodfellas）和《唤醒》（Awakenings）。他经常扮演帮派分子。而他最出名的就是这类角色之一：他在剧中出演了 30 集的邦彭谢罗，一个成为了 FBI 密报者的托尼·索普拉诺（Tony Soprano）的朋友。根据 IMDb 上的传记，帕斯托雷出生在布朗克斯（Bronx），在纽约郊外的纽罗谢尔（New Rochelle）长大。他在越南战争期间加入了海军，随后就读于佩斯大学（Pace University）。他的女儿雷内·帕斯托雷（Renee Pastore）在世。文森特·帕斯托雷，80 岁，《黑道家族》演员从未将成功视为理所当然。Charles Sykes / AP 2024 年，文森特·帕斯托雷出席《黑道家族》25周年庆祝活动。 支付法律费用。《巴尔的摩旗帜报》（The Baltimore Banner）此前报道阿美卡（Ameaka）已被拘留。参议员克里斯·范·霍伦（Chris Van Hollen，民主党-马里兰州）在周五晚上的社交媒体帖文中批评了她的被捕。“法蒂玛（Fatima）是通过富布赖特奖学金来到美国的，目前是约翰斯·霍普金斯大学的研究员。她此前已申请[临时保护状态]，且目前有一起待决的庇护案件。但美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）拘留了她并正试图将其遣返。她并非‘最糟糕的人’，遣返她并不能让我们更安全。我们必须挺身而出，大声发声，”范·霍伦在帖文中写道。阿美卡在被捕后的瞬间，向亲近的人留下了两条语音邮件。家人和其他支持者一直担心她在拘留期间无法获得治疗慢性疾病所需的药物。周五晚些时候，当她被释放并前往酒店时，朋友们表达了宽慰之情，尽管他们对正在进行的案件仍有担忧。“我认为大多数人会同意，我们可能

“不应该拘留那些合法居留、处于合法待决状态、没有犯罪记录且是社会生产力成员的人，”奥索里奥表示。由于该国发生武装冲突，范围扩大到包括喀麦隆人。据奥索里奥称，阿梅卡随后申请了庇护。2025年8月，特朗普政府终止了喀麦隆人的临时保护状态，称其已不再必要，也不符合国家利益。英格尔斯比将阿梅卡描述为“一个极其热情、善良且慷慨的人”。他说，阿梅卡是一位才华横溢的研究员，正在研究如何改善针对流行病的公共卫生应对措施。“她一直是一位优秀的同事。她深受所有同事、家人和朋友的喜爱，”英格尔斯比说，“我们都非常担心她。”在周五的一份声明中，约翰·霍普金斯大学发言人道格·多诺万表示，虽然大学不能就阿梅卡的具体情况发表评论，但正积极致力于为她及其辩护提供支持。“大学理解此事给社区成员带来的恐惧和担忧，”多诺万说。由阿梅卡同事发起的 GoFundMe 筹款活动迅速筹集了 40,000 美元以上，以提供帮助。

LoConti 说道。当人们学习如何做凯格尔运动时，通常被告知要收紧用于憋尿或停止排气的肌肉。而与之相反的——以及

通常同样重要甚至更为重要的是，即所谓的“反向凯格尔运动”（reverse Kegel）。健康的盆底依赖于平衡。盆底肌肉——负责支撑膀胱、肠道、子宫和前列腺等盆腔器官——需要足够强壮以将尿液和粪便留在体内，但它们也需要放松以便排出尿液和粪便。“这样你才能获得身体的最佳功能，”LoConti 表示。当肌肉过于虚弱或过于紧张时，问题就会随之而来。以下 LoConti 将解释何时反向凯格尔运动可能是更好的选择，以及如何正确操作。

什么是反向凯格尔运动，谁需要它？

“反向凯格尔运动”并非一个临床术语，但它是描述盆底放松的一种简单方式。如果传统的凯格尔运动涉及挤压和提升盆底肌肉，那么反向凯格尔运动就是，嗯，反向操作。你可能还会看到它们被称作“盆底下降”（pelvic floor drops），或作为一种“下调”（down train）肌肉的方法。

“一个简单的思考方式就是允许气体或尿液排出，”LoConti 说。“如果你一直憋着，最后终于处于一个可以排出的合适位置，这就是让它排出来的过程。”你也可以想象在做二头肌弯举时，以缓慢、放松且受控的动作放下重量，而不是极快地将其掉落。这是同样的概念，只是使用了不同的肌肉组。

如果你的盆底紧张（也称为高张力盆底），你应该做反向凯格尔运动。“很多人认为，如果我有盆底问题，我就需要挤压一切，”LoConti 说。但这只有在你的盆底虚弱时才有用。“如果你有紧张问题，强化训练会使其恶化，”LoConti 说。“如果它一直处于紧绷、紧绷、紧绷的状态，就永远无法达到能够适度关闭和开启的放松程度，所以有时我必须禁止人们做凯格尔运动。”

对于某些人来说，切换到反向凯格尔运动可能是答案。虽然研究有限，但小型研究表明，放松技巧有助于缓解过于紧张的盆底。一项《科学报告》（Scientific Reports）研究发现，一项包含“下调”训练（定义为凯格尔运动后延长放松期）的项目，在经过 3 个月的工作后，改善了盆底紧张的症状。而一名因紧张导致盆腔疼痛的患者在……

步骤 1：准备。找到一个舒适的位置。

步骤 2：轻微收缩。在顶端极力挤压或长时间保持。这仅仅是为了帮助你在下一步中释放肌肉。

步骤 3：释放。像在排尿一样放松肌肉，但不要强力向下推。“将其更多地视为肌肉的放松和开启，而不是向下用力，”LoConti 说。

步骤 4：重复。目标是每天 10 次缓慢的重复。

你可以在任何时间做反向凯格尔运动，但 LoConti 建议将此练习加入到睡前的放松环节中。如果数次数不能带给你入睡前所需的放松氛围，那么只需以一两分钟为目标即可。

如果你有盆底紧张，LoConti 还建议进行瑜伽和冥想，这可以减轻全身的紧张感。她表示，诸如“快乐婴儿式”（happy baby）、“儿童式”（child’s pose）和“下犬式”（downward dog）等舒缓体式可以放松盆底肌肉等，同时也能减轻心理压力。这可以是对反向凯格尔运动的极佳补充。

“如果你感到疼痛，那么放松运动就不能过度，”LoConti 说。

根据盆底治疗师的说法，你为什么可能需要反向凯格尔运动 iStock

进行凯格尔运动有多种方法，如果把精力集中在错误的一种上，可能会产生反效果。

作者：LINDSEY BEVER 没有人喜欢做手术。但如果你必须接受手术，与你的……

麻醉科医生可以帮你安心，并确保你获得最好的医疗护理。这也是询问医生计划使用哪些药物的机会——以及影响你需要多少（或多少）麻醉药的因素。你的年龄、基因甚至发色，在手术期间身体对麻醉的反应以及术后对止痛药物的反应中都起着重要作用。这就是为什么在任何手术程序之前，完全诚实地告知你的病史至关重要，德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心的麻醉学教授兼临床与结果研究副校长丹尼尔·I·塞斯勒 (Daniel I. Sessler) 说道。例如，如果你每天吸食大麻，“我们并不在意。我们不会对此做出道德判断。但我们需要知道这一点，以便优化你的麻醉方案，”他说。我们请专家解释了一些人们需要更多或更少麻醉和疼痛控制的最常见原因。以下是他们的说法。

你的发色 有些手术仅需要镇静。但当你需要完全失去意识时，你会接受全身麻醉。斯坦福大学神经麻醉学家、麻醉学、围手术期及疼痛医学教授迈尔斯·伯格 (Miles Berger) 表示，这需要精心调配的药物组合，可能包括吸入性麻醉气体或静脉药物以维持无意识状态。它还包括缓解疼痛以及放松或固定肌肉的药物，以防止在手术台上移动。

研究表明，如果你天生红发，你可能对某些类型的疼痛更敏感。而且在某些情况下，你可能比非红发人士需要更多的麻醉药。数十年来一直研究天然红发人士麻醉需求增加情况的塞斯勒说：“我们并不确切知道原因，但这是事实。”一种理论认为，红发人士体内黑皮质激素-1受体 (MC1R) 基因的变异改变了信号传导路径，这可能会影响身体对麻醉药物的反应。在 1 项研究中，塞斯勒和他的同事发现，健康红发女性在诱导和维持无意识状态时，所需的常用吸入性麻醉药比深色头发女性多出近 20%。他们的研究还表明，红发人士可能对某些局部麻醉药更具耐药性。

在另一项独立研究中，塞斯勒等人测量了疼痛。药物可以更轻松地被排出。当你经常使用这些药物时，你的身体分解它们的能力会变得更高效。塞斯勒说，这会导致某些药物在“给定剂量下效果大打折扣”，因为你的身体分解它们的速度更快。

研究还显示了大麻使用与术后所需麻醉和止痛药物数量之间的联系。一项 2024 年的研究调查了 1,600 多名接受手术的大麻用户，结果发现，与不使用大麻的人相比，使用大麻与术后更高的疼痛评分和增加的阿片类药物使用量相关。

你的年龄 更年轻、更健康的成年人可能比老年人需要更多的麻醉药。伯格研究老年患者麻醉需求的年龄相关变化，他表示，随着年龄增长，你所需的吸入性气体更少——在 40 岁之后，每十年大约减少 6%。研究仍在深入进行中，原因尚未被完全理解。但伯格表示，他和其他研究人员认为，当老年人需要的麻醉量异常低时，这可能指向潜在的大脑或认知问题。你的

总体健康状况。研究表明，体弱者、患有严重急性疾病或感染（如败血症）或患有肝硬化的人，可能需要的麻醉药物较少。而患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（一种人在睡眠期间气道塌陷的病症）的人，在术后使用类鸦片药止痛时，出现呼吸问题的风险可能更高。为了减少对类鸦片药的需求，麻醉医师可能会建议采取其他方法，例如非甾体抗炎药 (NSAIDs)，或者在适当情况下采用区域性镇痛技术，如硬膜外麻醉或神经阻滞来麻痹身体部分部位。Sessler 表示，了解您是否具有可能影响麻醉需求的因素，有助于医生引导治疗，并为您提供有效且安全的麻醉。

但无需担心：如果没有告诉麻醉医师您的真实发色、是否使用大麻或是否有慢性病，可能也不会在手术室中导致灾难。因为麻醉并非采用标准化剂量。Sessler 表示，麻醉医师先给予初始剂量，并根据您的反应、生命体征以及有时通过脑监测来根据需要进行微调，然后在整个过程中持续调整。

他说：“但麻醉医师对患者的所有了解，结合我们在麻醉过程中监测的一切，使我们能够提供最佳的体验。”

一些令人惊讶的因素可能会影响手术患者对麻醉和疼痛控制的反应。这就是为什么诚实告知您的病史至关重要。麻醉学教授 Daniel I. Sessler 表示，例如，如果您每天吸食大麻，“我们不在意。我们不会对此做出道德评判。但我们需要知道这一点，以便优化您的麻醉。”研究表明，如果您天生红发，您可能对某些类型的疼痛更敏感。而且在某些情况下，您可能比非红发人士需要更多的麻醉药。

monday, august 3, 2026 . 华盛顿邮报 EZ EE D3 晒伤 —— 它没有告诉你关于 UVA 的任何信息。因此，假设你也想要 UVA 防护（就像我一样），你需要选择一种明确标明“广谱”的防晒霜。这意味着该防晒霜能同时防御 UVB 和 UVA。

选择大瓶装。SPF 数值的计算是基于特定的、充足的产品用量 —— 在实验室测试中，每平方厘米皮肤大约使用 2 克产品。“如果你没有使用等量产品，你就无法获得标签上所示的 SPF 防晒效果，”Lester 说道。对于面部，这大致相当于在食指和中指上涂一条厚厚的防晒霜。对于身体，这意味着大约一个烈酒小杯的量。这就是为什么我采访的专家们一致认为，最重要的防晒霜是你真正能够养成习惯每天涂抹、且不会吝啬用量的那一款。

作为一名帮助重建癌症影响皮肤的外科医生，Lam 发现最难手术的几个关键遗忘区域是：“嘴唇、耳顶和头皮 —— 尤其是如果你头顶头发稀疏的话，”她说道。

我想让我的患者知道 目前，在皮肤损伤方面，需要重点关注的主要光线实际上来自太阳 —— 而不是，例如，我们的计算机和智能手机发出的蓝光。Lester 表示，这些设备造成的皮肤损伤在“理论上是可能的，但研究仍然不足”。总的来说，我的建议是每天涂防晒霜，即使你打算留在室内。但如果你要出门，尤其应该记得涂抹。“你在户外接触的曝光量仍然比在室内高出几个数量级，”Lester 说道。

SPF 30 的效果可能比你想象的要好。当你购买标有 SPF 50 甚至 100. 的产品时，感觉应该会有重大升级。但实际上，区别并不特别显著。“SPF 30 阻挡了约 97 比例的 UVB。SPF 50 阻挡了约 98 比例，”Lam 说道。“这 1 比例的提升就是为什么我告诉患者不要在 30 还是 50 之间纠结的原因。”如果这对你来说是个新发现 —— 你并不孤单。我直到医学院才了解到这一点。

选择广谱选项。“SPF 是指在有防晒保护的皮肤与无防晒保护的皮肤上，引起轻微晒伤所需的 UV 光焦耳数的相对数值，”旧金山加州大学皮肤病学副教授兼肤色研究项目主任 Jenna Lester 说道。这意味着 SPF 仅告诉你关于 UVB 的情况，而 UVB 会导致晒伤，包含氧苯酮或艾旺苯酮等成分，或矿物类，如包含氧化锌或二氧化钛等成分。普通的化学防晒霜在抵御可见光方面基本无效。这就是为什么 Lam 推荐含有氧化铁的矿物防晒霜 —— 2015 年的一项随机试验发现，这种成分有助于阻挡可见光并减少色斑复发。（该研究由皮肤护理公司 Laboratoire Bioderma 资助。）

氧化铁经常被用作矿物防晒霜的色调剂。作为一名肤色较深的人，我对自己皮肤上许多矿物防晒霜留下的灰白色痕迹再熟悉不过了。所以，至少对我来说，添加氧化铁作为色调剂是双赢的：它能让这些防晒霜看起来不那么明显，同时增强对可见光的防护。

宾州立大学健康中心的皮肤科。“它在深肤色人群中更剧烈地触发产色素细胞，并可能加重色斑。”一项经常被引用的 2010 年研究确认了这些影响：研究人员让具有各种肤色的人同时接触可见光

可见光和UVA。科学家发现，在肤色较深的人群中，可见光实际上比UVA产生更深且更持久的色素沉着。而在肤色较浅的志愿者中，同样的可见光照射则完全没有产生可观察到的色素沉着。挑选有效防晒霜的 4 个技巧：寻找氧化铁成分，尤其是当你担心色素沉着或色斑时。在选购防晒霜时，你会遇到两种主要类型：化学防晒，例如那些——“你仍然在承受相当数量的累积UVA照射。”所以，是的，尽管我在室内工作，我每天仍然涂防晒霜。我每天单程通勤至少 45 分钟。而且在办公室里，我的电脑屏幕后面正对着一个很大的窗户。所以，尽管我一天中大部分时间其实都没有踏出室外（很遗憾），但我的皮肤在室内的大部分时间里仍接收着UVA射线。

光照如何影响你的皮肤 UVA射线可以穿透皮肤表面，这就是为什么除了导致癌症外，它们在皮肤早衰和皱纹形成中也起着重要作用。事实证明，可见光也可能影响我们的皮肤。“对于患有黄褐斑、色素沉着或肤色较深的人来说，可见光的影响甚至更大，”查琳·拉姆（Charlene Lam）教授表示。问：即便不出太阳，我们在室内也应该涂防晒霜吗？答：是的，你应该涂。我知道这听起来违反直觉，但让我们先思考这个问题：为什么美国人的皮肤癌倾向于发生在左侧，而澳大利亚人的日晒损伤则似乎更多发生在右侧？答案是驾驶时的UVA照射。简要提醒一下，可见光是人类眼睛唯一能看到的光，而较短的紫外线 (UV) 波长则是不可见的。标准窗玻璃能阻挡大部分UVB（导致晒伤的射线），但对阻止可见光或UVA（已知会加速皮肤老化）作用甚微。最清晰的证据来自 2011 年发表在《美国皮肤病学会杂志》上的一项研究，研究人员分析了美国 82,000 多个黑色素瘤病例和大约 2,400 个默克尔细胞癌病例。这两种癌症在左侧发生的概率都略高。在司机坐在右侧的澳大利亚，早期的研究发现，日晒损伤的癌前病变斑块更常见于右侧。 2003 年针对豪华车所用玻璃的实验数据发现，一名坐在闭窗车内左侧的驾驶员，其左臂接收到的UV辐射是右臂的五到六倍。“除非你身处一个盒子中——一个没有窗户的盒子——否则你每天仍然应该涂防晒霜，”宾夕法尼亚大学佩雷尔曼医学院临床皮肤病学教授特米塔约·奥贡莱耶（Temitayo Ogunleye）说道。为什么我在室内涂防晒霜，以及如何购买适合你的防晒霜 咨询医生 Trisha Pasricha iStock 由于驾驶时的UVA照射，美国人的皮肤癌倾向于发生在左侧。或者某种新的精神疾病，例如首次被诊断为抑郁症。“神经退行性疾病也可以表现出记忆力以外的症状，”休伊（Huey）说道。医生可以通过一些测试，将正常的衰老问题与认知障碍症区分开来，以及第三类被称为轻度认知障碍（MCI）的情况，它介于两者之间，描述一个人虽有认知问题但仍能维持日常功能的状态。MCI受许多因素影响，从甲状腺问题到睡眠呼吸暂停不等。

Chin表示。一些患有轻度认知障碍（MCI）的人可能会进一步发展为痴呆症，但有些人则不会。“因此，这是一个识别并治疗患者的极佳阶段，”Chin说，“这也是进行生活方式干预的绝佳机会。”研究表明，即使是适度地干预生活方式——例如定期运动、采用MIND型饮食、健康监测、认知挑战和社交参与——都能改善大脑健康。寻求关于睡眠问题的帮助以及治疗心理健康问题也大有裨益。“未经治疗的抑郁症看起来与痴呆症非常相似，”Vasan说，“而且如果你需要助听器，请一定要配备。”一项研究显示，这些设备能将高风险老年人出现认知能力下降的风险降低近 50 百分比。

Chin还建议采取措施减轻压力，并进行智力刺激活动，以帮助“巩固大脑的网络”。他说，你不需要学习一门新语言或一种新乐器，“你可以玩拼图、文字游戏或与朋友打牌。”

Huey表示，一些新型阿尔茨海默病药物显示出了前景，但只有在疾病的最早期阶段才有资格使用这些药物。他说，他经常在患者开始缺席预约或迷路时才见到他们，到那时，使用这些药物已经太晚了。

Garfinkel已经将上述许多习惯融入到她的生活中。她每周运动五天，饮食基本健康，并且每天编织，特意选择能让她学习新技巧的图案。每天晚上，她通过文字游戏来放松。每年，她的医生会对她进行五词回忆测试。这是她第一年答错了一个词。她的医生并不担心，最终Garfinkel自己也不担心——目前为止是这样。她正在尽一切努力保持大脑健康，并接受偶尔走进一个房间却忘记为什么进来可能只是衰老的一部分。

病理医学。但他表示，中年成年人，尤其是那些有孩子且在家庭内外都有繁忙、压力巨大的工作的人，也可能睡眠不足。研究表明，慢性睡眠不足以及失眠和未经治疗的睡眠呼吸暂停等睡眠障碍都会干扰记忆巩固过程，使学习、集中注意力、专注和记忆信息变得更加困难。

健康问题也会影响记忆。围绝经期和绝经期间的激素变化就是一个重要的例子。海马体和前额叶皮层——涉及记忆和执行功能的大脑区域——含有大量的雌激素受体。Vasan说，随着雌激素水平下降，女性通常会注意到思维速度变慢，以及更频繁地出现词穷（找词困难）的问题。

布朗大学阿尔茨海默病研究中心副主任兼巴特勒医院记忆与衰老计划主任Ted Huey表示，绝经还会影响情绪，进而影响大脑处理和检索信息的效率。其他可能干扰记忆的情况包括ADHD（注意力缺陷多动障碍）、抑郁症、未经治疗的听力损失、甲状腺疾病和维生素B12缺乏。药物副作用也可能起到一定影响。

何时因健忘就医

你如何判断健忘是否已经越界，变成了更严重的问题？Chin说，他会观察三点： l 症状是否持续发生——不只是偶尔一次，而是每天多次？ l 尽管你采取了应对措施，情况是否依然存在？如果你已经开始将钥匙放在门边同一个碗里，那么

例如，如果你依然经常丢失东西，那就令人担忧。这是否引起了巨大的痛苦或干扰了日常生活？专家还关注你忘记了什么。在对话中途思路中断与忘记整个对话发生过之间存在差异，后者更为严重。即使你觉得某些健忘情况并非危险信号，Huey 仍鼓励人们向医疗服务提供者提及任何顾虑——尤其是当这种情况与视力、睡眠或执行功能的突然或剧烈变化同时出现时。

正常的年龄相关记忆变化 思维速度变慢和回忆困难仅仅是变老的一部分。“我倾向于告诉 60 岁和 70 岁左右的患者，不幸的是，你的大脑功能已不再像以前那样高效，”威斯康星阿尔茨海默病研究中心老年病专家兼医疗主任 Nathaniel Chin 表示。“如果这些症状是细微且偶尔出现的，且你的整体功能依然良好，那么你注意到的情况很可能不是病理性的，”他说。Chin 表示，如果你依然能管理财务、遵守预约并在熟悉的地方行走，那么偶尔出现且仅带来轻微困扰的健忘情况，远比那些干扰日常生活的记忆问题令人担忧。

你是健忘，还是仅仅分心了？ 通常我们所谓的健忘根本不是记忆问题：而是一个注意力问题。现代生活不断将我们的注意力分散在工作、家庭、看护责任以及没完没了的心理待办清单之间。再加上来自设备通知和提醒的不停干扰。这可能导致我们的大脑难以有效地处理和保留信息。斯坦福大学精神病学临床助理教授、Brainstorm（斯坦福心理健康创新实验室）创始人兼主任 Nina Vasan 解释说，这是因为记忆在被检索之前必须经过编码。当你分心时，“记忆从未被记录下来，”她说。“然后你去寻找一个从未被正确保存的东西，并认定你的记忆出了问题。”

睡眠质量差与记忆之间的联系 另一个需要考虑的重要因素是你睡眠质量如何。在睡眠期间，大脑将短期记忆巩固为长期记忆。研究表明，即使只有一晚睡眠不足 6 小时，也会损害记忆的形成。费城骨科医学院神经科学与神经病理学教授、衰老慢性疾病中心主任 Brian J. Balin 表示，60 岁和 70 岁的人往往睡眠更容易中断，夜间起夜更频繁。

D4 EZ EE 华盛顿邮报 . 星期一, 2026年8月3日 十年间，年轻人群中的发病率稳步攀升，20 至 49 岁人群每年增长 3 ％。在 20 至 39 岁组中，发病率在过去 35 年中翻了一番。与此同时，在此期间首次怀孕的平均年龄也在上升，30 岁以上女性在 2023, 年中占出生人数的一半以上，而 1990. 年这一比例仅为 30 ％。由于怀孕时间推后而结直肠癌 (CRC) 发病时间提前，“两者之间出现了一个交叉点，”德克萨斯大学 MD 安德森中心的早发性结直肠癌项目主任 Nancy You 表示。

妊娠相关结直肠癌如何逃避诊断

在 50 岁以下被诊断出患有 CRC 的所有人群中——包括孕妇或产后女性——75 ％将在第 3 阶段（癌症已扩散至淋巴结）或第 4 阶段（癌症已转移到附近的器官）被诊断出来，而这两类癌症更难治愈。关于妊娠相关 CRC 诊断阶段的数据虽然有限，但表明晚期诊断的比例相似，近一半处于第 4 阶段。

在孕期，CRC 的症状很容易被忽略，因为许多症状与怀孕本身或孕期经常出现的问题非常相似。You 表示，首先，由于压力、饮食习惯改变以及发育中的胎儿可能阻碍肠道蠕动等多种原因，孕期会出现肠道变化。丹纳-法伯癌症研究所早发性结直肠癌中心创始主任 Kimmie Ng 表示，由此产生的便秘和排便用力，加上胎儿对盆底的压力，增加了痔疮的风险。由于对供应胎盘的红细胞需求增加，贫血在孕期也很常见。Ng 称，腹部不适、恶心、呕吐和疲劳也都是 CRC 的症状，但很容易被归因于怀孕。

即使在产后，症状也可能被归结为怀孕和分娩的影响。Marisa Peters 在 33 岁、有一个 18 个月大儿子时，开始出现间歇性肠道变化、精力不足以及粪便中带血丝的情况。Peters 说，当她告诉医生时，医生基本上说：“生完孩子后，你的身体不会和以前一样，你可能是得痔疮了。”这种情况持续了近六年，期间又怀孕了两次，直到这些症状开始影响她的日常生活。Peters 说：“我在车里抓起最小孩子的纸尿裤塞进裤子里，因为担心赶不到洗手间。”在怀疑是肠道健康问题后，她的医生将她转诊给了一位胃肠病专家，后者最终诊断她患有第 3 阶段直肠癌。

孕期及产后治疗结直肠癌的挑战

You 表示，在孕期治疗 CRC 需要平衡母亲和胎儿的最佳利益，这需要包括妇产科医生、胃肠病专家、外科医生和医疗肿瘤学家在内的多方医疗人员参与。最佳方案取决于癌症的阶段和怀孕的孕期。Fakih 表示，早期的结直肠癌通常可以通过手术完全治愈。这在孕早期（此时其他治疗会威胁胎儿发育）也是唯一可行的干预措施，尽管在胎儿发育基本完成的孕中期，风险被认为最低。孕晚期手术可能会增加早产的几率。对于更先进的疾病，治疗决定将变得

更复杂，且结肠癌与直肠癌之间存在差异。Fakih表示，治疗晚期结肠癌通常需要化疗；对于已扩散至其他器官的疾病，手术通常不可行或无法成功。对于超过1期的直肠癌——这类癌症占大多数妊娠相关结直肠癌（CRC）病例且具有较高的局部复发风险——典型的建议是……

耳蜗是一个微小的内耳结构，包含对听力至关重要的感觉毛细胞。Deep表示，在症状出现七天内进行治疗，康复机会最高。而且治疗越早，结果就越好。Deep解释说，最常见的治疗方法是短期使用高剂量口服泼尼松（prednisone），这是一种通过减轻炎症起作用的强效类固醇，旨在为内耳提供最佳的恢复机会。如果初次口服类固醇剂量未能完全恢复听力，可能还会建议通过鼓膜注射类固醇和

高压氧疗法。迹象往往很容易被忽略。“听力损失是缺乏刺激，”Deep解释道，“你不知道你没听到什么。”Deep说，许多人可能会忽视这些症状，将其归结为轻微的问题——比如感冒或过敏——并认为只需要等待情况好转。马萨诸塞州眼耳医院（Mass Eye and Ear）的听力学家 Meaghan Reed 表示，在医疗系统中就诊可能会让人感到畏惧，从而导致人们推迟就医。

需要留意突发性听力损失的微妙迹象

突发性感觉神经性听力损失并不总是表现为明显的听力下降。它可能感觉像是耳朵充盈感或压力感，或者像是在飞行或山路驾驶后耳朵需要“弹出”一样。它也可能表现为音质的微妙变化，或

在某些频率上出现失真，而不是音量降低。说话声可能足够大到能听到，但难以理解。日常声音可能显得沉闷，或者像是在水下一样。由于大脑依赖双耳来确定方向，辨别声音来源也可能变得更加困难。Deep说，由于突发性感觉神经性听力损失通常只影响一只耳朵，而未受影响的耳朵可以起到一定的补偿作用，因此有些人直到堵住听力较好的一只耳后才注意到变化。

Reed 曾经历过突发性感觉神经性听力损失，并在使用泼尼松后康复。在描述她的症状时，她说受影响的耳朵中“声音变得非常机械且不自然”。“如果我不是一名听力学家，我不知道我是否会因此去看医生，因为我的情况实际上是相对轻微的低频损失，我可能

只会认为我的耳朵堵住了，而且我无法让它弹出。”大约 80 到 90 百分比的突发性听力损失患者还会经历耳鸣，听起来像是鸣响、嗡嗡声，

作者：ALISON KARLENE HODGINS

一天早晨，你醒来时感觉耳朵堵住了。或者也许你听到了一声响亮的“啪嗒”声。你可能会接电话，然后意识到对方的声音比平时更遥远。你可能会注意到一只耳朵里出现了新的鸣响，或者开始感到眩晕。这些经历中的任何一种看起来都可能是无害或暂时的。而且通常情况下确实如此。听力沉闷的常见原因包括耳垢积聚、耳部或鼻窦感染、感冒或过敏引起的充血、压力变化以及与年龄或噪音相关的听力损失。但这些症状也可能预示着一种许多人无法识别的医疗紧急情况——即突发性感觉神经性听力损失。我自己就在……

32. 某个夜晚，我的头部右侧突然开始响起剧烈的鸣响。当我把手机贴在右耳时，对方的声音听起来像是处于水下。尽管如此，我当时并没有意识到自己实际上已经失去了听力。我在 48 小时内因耳鸣就医，但医生开了一款鼻喷剂，结果毫无帮助。以下是我希望自己在事前就能了解的内容，这样我就能为自己争取权益，并更早地接受急诊治疗。

当耳塞感意味着更糟糕的情况时

突然性感觉神经性耳聋是指听力的快速下降，这种下降可能是瞬间发生的，也可能在几天内逐渐发展。这是一种潜在可逆的病症，与因衰老、噪音暴露或耳垢引起的听力损失不同——但它需要及时治疗，才能获得最大的康复可能性。

“这是一个紧急情况，”梅奥医学中心 (Mayo Clinic) 的神经耳科医生尼古拉斯·迪普 (Nicholas Deep) 说道。他说，这与治疗心脏病发作或中风类似，但“在这种情况下，受损器官是耳蜗，而不是心脏或大脑”。

耳中的嗡嗡声或另一种幻听噪声可能令人极其痛苦。迪普表示，耳鸣被广泛认为是大脑对听力损失的反应。“这是大脑在试图调和为什么那里缺失了某些东西，并试图在那个位置填补一些东西。”

新的耳鸣可能预示着听力的变化，尤其是当它仅发生在单侧耳朵时。里德 (Reed) 表示，实际上是耳鸣导致许多人寻求治疗，而不是听力损失本身。“有时我们进行听力测试，人们认为自己在测试中表现不佳是因为耳鸣的影响。”

突然性感觉神经性耳聋的另一个迹象是头晕或眩晕，其程度从轻微的不稳感，到严重到足以引起呕吐的旋转感不等。迪普说，这可能表明炎症影响了内耳的听觉和平衡系统。

如果你出现这些症状该怎么办

“你最了解自己的身体，”辛辛那提大学的听力学家丽莎·休斯顿·温斯特鲁普 (Lisa Houston Wenstrup) 说道。如果你的听力突然出现异常，不要假设它会自动好转——请立即检查。

耳鼻喉科 (ENT) 医生或听力学家可以进行诊断性听力评估，但迪普说，如果你无法预约到紧急门诊，你可能需要前往急诊室 (ER)，解释突然听力下降的情况并要求评估。“你必须重点强调‘突然’这个部分，”他说。“全国大多数的耳鼻喉科医生和听力学家总会为突然性听力损失患者预留名额，因为我们都将其视为紧急情况。”

全科医生可以通过音叉测试来帮助区分感觉神经性听力损失与传导性听力损失，后者的治疗方法不同。然而，里德说，“突然性感觉神经性耳聋是不可见的”，因此医生在检查耳朵时可能会看到轻微发红，将问题误诊为耳道感染并开出抗生素，但这没有任何帮助。

迪普和里德表示，如果你不确定自己经历的是什么，可以尝试一个快速的居家“哼鸣测试”。如果你在哼鸣时，听到声音在没有症状的那只耳朵中更大，这可能提示存在感觉神经性听力损失。不过，这仅仅是一个线索，而非诊断。

里德说，通过谷歌快速搜索找到的免费在线听力测试可能会给你提供更多动力和证据去立即寻求治疗，但仍需要详细的听力评估来确定听力损失的类型和程度。即使经过快速治疗，有些人

可能会导致永久性听力损失，而另一些人则无需治疗即可自发恢复。在约 90 percent 的病例中，医生无法确定突发性感觉神经性耳聋的具体原因。研究人员提出了几种理论，包括蜗管血流中断、病毒性损伤、炎症或异常的免疫反应。“这可能发生在任何人身上，”Deep 说道。Wenstrup 说：“没有什么是你可以通过采取措施来预防的。”对于那些未能恢复听力的人来说，感到恐惧、悲伤和愤怒是很正常的。“你失去了一半的感官。这很可怕，”Wenstrup 说。如果你错过了治疗窗口，“不要自责，”她补充道。“我们都在尽力在这样一个困难的医疗系统中寻找出路。”在症状出现两年后，我的听力仍未恢复，耳鸣也一直持续。我不知道早期的治疗是否能帮助恢复我的听力。尽管如此，我希望自己当时就拥有现在的知识和信息，并希望其他人能及时寻求治疗，以获得避免永久性听力损失困难的最大机会。

2022 年 7 月，现年 35 岁的 Sage Collins 在一次朋友的婚礼上出现了肠道问题，整晚都躲在洗手间里。次月她发现自己怀孕后，将胃肠道问题归结为激素波动。到了秋天，她的粪便中出现了血丝，于是她预约了医生。她的血液检查结果正常，除了贫血——这在怀孕期间很常见。随着 Collins 怀孕的进展，她的直肠出血也随之增加，一度将她送入医院，并在那里接受了补铁输液。在分娩过程中，她直肠的失血量足以引发警报。一名护士告诉 Collins，在她出院前会有一位胃肠病专家来访，但没有人来。产后出血依然持续，且体重减轻。她说：“情况变得如此糟糕，我记得在儿子 Asher 6 或 7 个月大时，我陪他在游戏室里躺着，但我感到非常不舒服，因为我必须不停地跑洗手间。我心想，‘我不能这样为人父母，也不能这样生活。’”

Collins 预约了她的初级保健医生，后者为其安排了结肠镜检查，最终在 2024 年 3 月被诊断为 4 期直肠癌，距离她首次出现症状已过去近两年。肿块有高尔夫球大小，癌症已转移至肝脏。

来自澳大利亚的数据表明，妊娠相关结直肠癌（在怀孕期间或产后第一年内出现）的病例从 1994 年到 2013 年每年增加约 6 percent。City of Hope 癌症中心的胃肠道肿瘤内科主任 Marwan Fakih 表示，没有证据表明怀孕本身会增加易感性。Fakih 说，而且总病例数仍然非常少——大约每 13,000 次怀孕中有 1 例受到影响。但怀孕与结直肠癌日益增加的重叠带来了独特的风险，因为这可能会延迟诊断并使治疗复杂化。专家表示，妊娠相关 CRC 病例的增加在很大程度上反映了一个更广泛的趋势：年轻人群体发病率上升。美国癌症协会的一份 2026 年报告显示，虽然在过去 65 岁以上人群中结直肠癌的发病率有所下降。

星期一，2026 年 8 月 3 日 . 华盛顿邮报 EZ EE D5 医生，但仅仅是因为我告诉了她。我们大多数人什么时候应该开始考虑自己的跌倒风险？大概就是现在。我们总是认为只有年迈的邻居容易跌倒。但对于大多数人来说，在 30 岁之前，我们的体能、力量和平衡力处于顶峰，随后身体的一切开始下降。到 50 岁时，我们知道跌倒的风险开始增加，尤其是对于那些久坐不动或服用多种药物的人。一个基本问题：为什么老年人通常会跌倒？对于一个没有任何残疾的健康年轻人来说，这需要——她一直以来所做的事：长距离散步以及做其他她热爱的事情。这段经历对我们其他人有借鉴意义吗？当然有。首先，对于老年人来说，每年至少应该进行一次药物评估审查。也许

医生可以寻找替代方案或不同的剂量。另一点是要诚实。我的母亲不想告诉心脏科医生她在跌倒。人们经常不发一言，因为他们害怕被送进养老院，或者认为这只是衰老的一部分。但如果你不告诉医生或护理人员，他们将无法知道发生了什么。最终，我的母亲确实告诉了预防措施吗？他们确实在做，我也在做。几年前，我母亲出现头晕，甚至失去意识并跌倒。她的心脏科医生在给她开药，并且对她的低血压非常满意。但发生的情况是，有时，尤其是晚上，当她起身时血压太低，导致她跌倒或昏厥。这对我很困难，因为即使是对医疗保健领域的人来说，你也不想否决另一个人的专业判断。经过一段时间与心脏科医生的讨论，才为我母亲找到了合适的药物剂量和类型，但最终我们做到了。而这确实改变了一切。她能够再次恢复健康状态——我在早晨的例行活动中主要做力量训练，比如俯卧撑，但现在我也加入了平衡训练。有很多方法可以将平衡训练融入到你的日常生活中。在刷牙时单脚站立。我就是这么做的。这是一个好办法。还要练习从地板上起身。顺便说一句，这很难。我现在需要阅读眼镜，但不会配双焦点眼镜，因为我见过太多人因为戴它而跌倒。可穿戴设备怎么样？我有一块智能手表，如果我跌倒了可以向他人发出警报。这是个好主意吗？绝对是。如果你单独一人且跌倒，这是一个寻求帮助的方法。但我们也知道，在第一次跌倒之后，尤其是伴随受伤，有些人会对再次跌倒产生极大的恐惧，这会限制他们的社交活动和户外活动。这会对他们的健康和生活质量产生很大影响。可穿戴设备可以让他们在出门活动时感到更安全。这也是让护理人员减轻恐惧的一种方式。因为如果我要给护理人员一个建议，那就是不要阻止你的亲人走动和活动。你能做的最糟糕的事情就是让他们陷入不活动的恶性循环，导致肌肉力量丧失，失去平衡。这样他们的跌倒风险反而更高。无论你处于什么年龄，避免跌倒的关键是保持活跃。找一件你喜欢做的事，无论是散步、骑行还是其他任何活动，坚持做下去。不要失去你的力量和平衡感，因为恢复它们比保持它们要困难得多。告诉你的医生什么对你来说很重要也同样关键。有研究表明，许多老年人表示保持

独立对他们来说比任何事情都重要，甚至比生存更重要。您的医生应该了解什么对您以及您的生活质量至关重要。您有关于健身的问题吗？请发送邮件至 YourMove@washpost.com，我们可能会在未来的专栏中回答您的问题。严重的干扰会导致跌倒并重重着地。但在老年人中，即使是微小的干扰也可能导致跌倒和受伤。药物会让他们感到眩晕，或者关节炎使其行动不便，或者他们穿着不合适的鞋子，或者视力不佳。老年人跌倒也可能是潜在疾病的症状，例如心血管疾病，这需要进行评估。您提到了鞋类和视力。有什么简单的办法可以降低家中的跌倒风险吗？不要留不必要的危险隐患。美国疾病控制与预防中心在网上提供了关于居家环境处理的核查清单。使用防滑

Ng 表示，在任何时间点——保持体力活动、食用营养饮食、限制酒精摄入、不吸烟——都可能降低结直肠癌 (CRC) 的风险，在受孕前的几年里考虑这些因素尤为重要。她还指出，意识到家族史也是关键，因为这可能使你符合提前筛查的条件，甚至可能在怀孕前进行。尽管如此，许多年轻的结直肠癌患者很健康且没有家族史。因此，Ng 表示，及时向医生反映任何可疑症状（如血便、排便习惯改变和腹痛）至关重要，即使这些症状可以用怀孕或产后情况来解释。由 Peters 在治疗后创立的非营利组织 Be Seen 以及结直肠癌联盟 (Colorectal Cancer Alliance) 提供了关于如何为自己争取权益并让医生重视的资源。

Mount Sinai 医疗系统的胃肠病专家 David Greenwald 表示，结直肠癌的金标准检测是结肠镜检查，这在怀孕期间可以安全地进行，但仅限于高度怀疑的情况，因为麻醉和手术过程会对胎儿带来风险。去年夏天，Collins 接受了直肠手术以切除复发部位。当她醒来时，她发现一名护士在固定冰袋的医用胶带上写了“Asher 的超级妈妈”。她说，她觉得自己非常幸运，能够继续扮演这个角色，并为儿子做一个榜样，让他知道“经历真正具有挑战性的事情并最终走出困境意味着什么”。

Ng 表示，可以通过调整护理顺序来应对，例如先开始化疗，然后在产后继续进行放疗和手术。在某些情况下，女性可能会选择提前分娩以更快开始治疗。Fakih 表示，对于希望拥有更多孩子的人，产后治疗可能会采取不同的轨迹。化疗可能会影响生育能力，但主要发生在 30 多岁或年龄更大的女性身上。然而，盆腔放疗会导致不孕。因此，有些人可能会先选择冷冻卵子或胚胎，或者通过手术将卵巢向上移出放疗路径。

降低与怀孕相关的结直肠癌风险。同样的健康习惯……建议。

这涉及到在手术前进行化疗和放疗。You 解释说，术前治疗有助于杀死肿瘤细胞并使附近的血管灭菌，以限制术后复发的风险。Fakih 表示，问题在于，化疗仅在怀孕第二或第三三月期被推荐，而盆腔放疗在整个孕期都是危险的。因此，这使得在第一三月期被诊断出晚期结直肠癌的女性面临一个在情感上通常复杂且有时在法律上复杂（取决于居住地）的抉择：要么终止妊娠以开始治疗，要么推迟护理而危及自身健康。在怀孕后期，癌症可能会……

D6 EZ EE 华盛顿邮报 . 星期一, 2026年8月3日 部分反映了运营医院较高的管理成本。Rangel 的主治医生 Hagopian 承认，医院的行政支出更高。“但这无法解释如此高昂的费用。” MaineHealth 拒绝置评，将关于医院手术成本的问题转交给缅因州医院协会主席 Jeffrey Austin。Austin 表示，与手术中心不同，医院必须承担提供“亏损”服务的成本，例如行为健康护理和为 Medicaid（医疗补助）患者提供护理。他补充说，医疗系统中大型医院产生的收入支持其他设施，从而改善医疗服务的可及性。医院的价格差异很大，同时也受到与保险公司谈判以及市场集中度的影响。对于无保险患者，这些标价可能会——

他在智利圣地亚哥的另一个女儿那里，在安第斯山脉。在那里，他的疝气修复手术费用约为 $7,000, 但一旦加上数千美元的旅行费用，这个方案在经济上就不再合理。约翰·霍普金斯大学布隆伯格公共卫生学院分析医疗支出的教授 Gerard Anderson 表示，没有医疗保险的患者往往是受价格大幅波动影响最严重的人群。仔细查看任何医院账单都能解释原因。“每家医院都不同，”他说，“但通常总费用的约一半是设施费，”这是在医院护理中增加的一项费用，用于帮助覆盖管理成本。Anderson 表示，医院的加价幅度通常远高于小型设施。医疗账单研究人员表示，医院与门诊手术中心之间的价格差距表明，保护措施越强，或者你的神经认知概况看起来越年轻，” Amoruso 说道。相反，仅说一种语言与加速衰老的风险增加约两倍相关。然而，这项研究分析的是国家之间的差异，而不是个体。因此，在随后的研究中，Amoruso 和她的同事利用 728 人的大脑电活动数据创建了“大脑年龄时钟”。这项研究近期在欧洲神经科学联合会会议上发表，但尚未经过同行评审，结果发现，说两三种语言的人，其大脑看起来年轻六岁。那些在衰老过程中出现且正常的病理变化，可能会导致阿尔茨海默病等疾病。她说，一个更高效的大脑尽管面临年龄或疾病带来的减速，但可以维持更长时间的工作。同时，掌握另一种语言似乎能保持不同大脑网络的独立性和专业化。这些网络由不同的、紧密连接的大脑区域组成，共同执行某些功能。Amoruso 表示，随着年龄的增长，“你的大脑网络之间的界限开始模糊”。在“多语能力”中可能存在一种机制，能够维持你的大脑

“看起来更年轻”的大脑。研究人员有证据表明，说一种以上的语言可以让大脑更高效。但它是否也能让大脑更年轻？为了寻找答案，Amoruso 和她的同事利用 86,000 多人的影像和生物数据训练了机器学习模型。在去年发表于《自然-衰老》(Nature Aging) 的研究中，他们发现，在 27 个欧洲国家中，使用语言较多的国家与大脑衰老速度较慢相关。这存在一种剂量反应关系，意味着“你掌握的语言越多，[你的大脑就越年轻]”。

“网络隔离，”她说。“所以这是一种对抗认知能力下降的方式。”

在静息状态下，那些会说四种语言的人的大脑活动整体较少，但更为集中。其他研究在对多语言人士进行简单的注意力测试时也发现了类似的模式：与执行相同任务的单语言人士相比，他们的大脑激活程度较低，这表明掌握更多语言使他们的大脑效率更高。

“双语者大脑中的电生理活动较低，干扰更少。这更容易，不需要如此大幅度地提高激活水平就能达到相同的程度。因此，这在某种程度上体现了效率，”Bialystok 表示。

大脑效率的提升——功能性的改善——在衰老过程中至关重要，尤其是那些会说四种语言的人，其大脑看起来年轻了 13 岁。有趣的是，一个人掌握的语言越相似，大脑获得的保护就越大，Amoruso 表示，这可能是因为大脑需要更努力地去区分并在这两种语言之间切换。

语言与痴呆症之间的联系

掌握更多语言似乎能增加认知储备，即大脑在面对与年龄或疾病相关的生物学变化时，能够适应并补偿的能力。研究表明，与单语言人士相比，双语者的痴呆症诊断时间更晚，即使在阿尔茨海默病病理状态较为先进的情况下，他们也能维持更长时间的功能运作。

“你会发现他们有大约四到五年的功能维持期。他们的大脑看起来像阿尔茨海默病患者的大脑，但在临床上，这并没有干扰他们的功能，”Bialystok 说道，她曾在 2021 年撰写的一篇综述中探讨了双语能力如何有助于增加认知储备。

如何学习新语言

学习新语言除了认知方面的益处外，还有许多其他好处，即使你没有达到流利程度。

“它让你能够与那些你可能无法交流的人交谈，或者前往那些你之前可能抗拒的地方，”Bialystok 说。“所以这是一种开放的体验，而不是封闭的体验。”

而且，开始学习永远不算太晚。一些研究表明，在生命后期学习语言可以改善记忆力和认知灵活性。认知提升的程度与你投入的努力程度相匹配。

“我的观点是，时间越长越好，强度越大越好，”Bialystok 说。“熟练程度越高越好。”

语言学习没有单一的方法。你可以通过参加课程或使用 Duolingo 或 Rosetta Stone 等应用程序进行正式学习。Italki 和 Verbling 等网站可以帮助你联系在线导师。在学习这些课程的同时，观看该语言的节目或听该语言的音乐，将有助于你更熟悉其发音。

但 Bialystok 在一封电子邮件中表示，语言的关键在于使用。

“我认为包含对话成分，特别是与母语使用者互动的学习方法是最有效的。”

“而且学习语言是很困难的，而这正是它的价值所在。”

语言如何改变大脑

如果你精通几种语言，你的大脑会一直将它们保持在“开启”状态，即使你没有在说这些语言。

对于双语者来说，大脑语言网络中存在对两种语言都有反应的皮质区域。但在这个大区域内，有一些特定区域仅对一种语言有反应，西班牙巴斯克认知、大脑与语言中心（Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language）的神经生物语言学组负责人兼副科学总监 Lucia Amoruso 表示。

当你用一种语言说话或倾听时，“另一种语言……”

“语言在你的脑中也是活跃的。它并没有在睡觉，”Amoruso说道，她指出在用英语回答时，她需要抑制她的母语西班牙语。（由于在职业生涯中居住在不同的欧洲国家，Amoruso还会说法语和意大利语。）因此，多语者的大脑会不断监测他们听到和说出的内容，评估其中包含他们所知的语言。“并没有什么‘语言开关’，”Bialystok说道。研究表明，这就是为什么会说多种语言的人可能更擅长控制注意力，专注于相关内容并忽略干扰信息。这种监测在生命早期就发生了。在双语家庭中长大的七个月大婴儿已经能分辨出语言何时切换。与生活在单语家庭的婴儿相比，他们在某些注意力测试中表现得更好。这种在注意力集中、区分并决定使用（以及不使用）何种语言方面所面临的持续挑战，似乎在训练大脑，增强其韧性。“你的大脑接触到这种更复杂的语言环境，并发展出应对所需的注意力资源或其他能力，”Bialystok说。“因此，随着生活的继续以及大脑功能的演变，它会变得更具韧性。”

一个更高效的大脑

在一项研究中，Bialystok及其同事使用脑电图（EEG）测量了双语者与单语者的脑电活动。他们发现，双语者的……

……离家近的营利性医院。他预约了缅因健康系统（MaineHealth，该州最大的医疗系统）的一名外科医生的咨询，收到的一份估价单显示，通过腹腔镜修复其疝气的费用约为 $23,000。腹腔镜手术通常成本更高，因为外科医生使用了更先进的工具。尽管如此，对于一名由联邦医疗保险（Medicare）承保的患者，在医院进行腹腔镜腹股沟疝修复的平均费用几乎是门诊手术中心的两倍，后者为医院方案支付 $5,280。

“我不能为了做一次手术，然后在接下来的 30 年里偿还债务而抵押我的生活，”现年 64 岁的Rangel说道。

于是，他继续寻找。他考虑过俄克拉荷马州的一家手术中心，那里便宜得多，但最终因为距离太远而将其排除。他还研究了前往洛斯角大学（Universidad de los...）的可能性。

“在主治医生的帮助下，患者可以挖掘价格并比较选择，以避免陷入医疗债务，”Rangel说。然而，这种方法对于有多个手术选项且结果相当的择期手术（elective procedures）最为可行。面临医疗紧急情况的患者没有在就医前比较价格的奢侈，尽管许多医院为无保险的支付者提供现金支付折扣或慈善医疗。

计费分析师表示，有时间挑选的患者不应仅看成本。他们建议通过查阅公开的评级和患者评论来检查医院和手术中心的质量。研究发现，较高的价格并不一定意味着更好的护理质量，但选择一家信誉良好的医疗提供者也同样重要。

医疗护理的对比购物可能非常耗时。但对于面临择期手术的患者来说，这种努力可能会带来回报——有时能节省数千美元。

“这是一次学习经历——”

“这对我来说是一次救赎，”Rangel说道，“我希望这对其他人也是如此。”“本月账单”（Bill of the Month）是由KFF Health News与《华盛顿邮报》Well +Being共同发起的一项众筹调查，旨在剖析并解释医疗账单。自 2018 年以来，该系列报道已帮助许多患者和读者降低了医疗费用，并被州议会、美国国会大厦及白宫引用。您是否有令人困惑或金额离谱的医疗账单想要分享？请通过 wapo.st / medicalbills 告诉我们。KFF Health News 是一家全国性的新闻编辑室，致力于生产关于健康问题的深度报道，是 KFF 的核心运行项目之一——KFF 是一个独立地提供健康政策研究、民调和新闻报道的机构。

成为谈判的起点——或者支付全额欠款。Anderson指出，联邦医疗保险（Medicare）和联邦医疗补助（Medicaid）存在标准化的支付率，但大多数私立定价的医疗服务则不然。“在私立领域，提供者可以随心所欲地定价。”

Rangel 在阿根廷还有一个女儿，在 委内瑞拉 有一个儿子，在西班牙还有其他家人。但他决定不再在全球范围内寻找低价，因为他最终在马里兰州找到了他所寻找的东西。4月，他前往位于 Rockville 的 Affordable Hernia Surgery 中心，他表示，在那里一个“高效且协调良好的系统”引导他完成了整个流程。“我得到了专业且极具人性化的照顾，”Rangel 说道。他说，正如外科医生预测的那样，他在两周内就完全康复了。

该手术中心对 Rangel 的疝气修复手术收取了固定费用。与妻子一起进行的两天行程所增加的旅行费用包括机票、交通、餐饮和一晚酒店。Rangel 表示，他总共支付了约 $4,700。

为 Rangel 实施手术的外科医生 Alan Kravitz 表示，无保险患者与有保险患者面临的价格差异远非公平。“在 U.S. 医疗定价这个具有掠夺性和策略性的世界里，无保险患者被收取的费用通常高于提供者愿意从联邦医疗保险或商业保险中接受的费用。”随后，Kravitz 拿出了另一位患者从另一个大型医疗系统收到的腹股沟疝气修复估价单。价格为：$37,000。

结论：在没有保险的情况下，许多患者必须独立进行谈判。

一份待考虑的医院和手术中心名单。Rangel 拥有管理学博士学位，这是他在 委内瑞拉 海军服役期间攻读的。因此，凭借这些知识和天生的好奇心，他开始研究价格。当账单寄来时，他的努力得到了回报。

Rangel 接受的医疗服务是治疗所谓的腹股沟疝气，这种情况发生在腹腔内容物通过下腹壁的薄弱点突出时。这种情况相对常见，尤其是在老年人中。在大多数情况下，需要通过手术修复肌肉壁，且可以作为门诊手术进行。修复腹股沟疝气主要有三种手术方法：开腹手术、腹腔镜手术和机器人辅助手术。研究表明，这三种方法的疝气复发率同样较低，且安全有效。Rangel 接受了开腹修复手术，这是医生在面对复发性疝气时通常首选的方法。他说，他的手术持续时间不到两小时，随后便走出了手术中心。

账单 $2,900：Rangel 最终在马里兰州的一家门诊手术中心为疝气修复支付的固定费率，包括了

外科医生的手术费和麻醉费。他说，他还在往返于缅因州家中与手术中心的旅费上花费了约 $1,800，包括他及其妻子的机票、餐饮和住宿。

计费问题：没有保险——但有时间去货比三家

因为 Rangel 没有保险，他无法获得防止高额费用的保护——除非利用时间和他的能力，为他的手术寻找一个可以接受的价格。Rangel 的第一站是一个非

We’ll see,” he said. Trump said he had canceled planned strikes this weekend at the request of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qa- tar — in addition to Iran — and they urged him instead to pursue talks with Tehran. “They think there’s a deal,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he traveled back to Washington from his golf club in New Jersey. “There’s a deal on Hormuz, and then there will be a deal on the nuclear or you might call it the denuclearization of Iran.” Iranian of cials said Sunday they were close to fi nalizing a deal with Oman to reopen pas- sage through the Strait of Hor- muz,the narrow international waterway that fl ows between- them in the Persian Gulf. Trump of cials have said in re- cent weeks that they were talking to Tehran behind the scenes even as attacks continued,assertions that Iran has repeatedly denied. Regional mediators have said they were passing messages be- tween them. Since the U.S. and Israel at- tacked Iran on Feb. 28, Trump has been mired in an unpopular war with no end in sight.

HERNÁNDEZ AND MARÍA LUISA PAÚL Juan Carlos Villegas Castillo spent years casting nets into the Caribbean of Venezuela’s east- ern coast. When the sea could no longer provide enough to sup- port his fi ve children, he crossed the Darién Gap and found con- struction work in Chicago. He was given permission to tempo- rarily live and work in the United States, his family said, and hoped to return to Venezuela to build a house and buy a boat of his own. Eduardo José Osal Mujica nev- er wanted to make the United States his home. But economic hardship and growing political pressure pushed the former Ven- ezuelan police of cer to leave his wife and young son behind. He crossed nine countries, a jungle and a river to fi nd work and seek asylum, knowing he’d be brand- ed a traitor if he ever returned. Richard José Pereira Amesty was granted humanitarian pa- role after trekking through Cen- tral America and Mexico with his wife and young son. They settled in Tennessee and were awaiting an asylum hearing when federal immigration of cers told them they had to leave voluntarily as a family or be separated by de- tention. This spring, each man’s plans unraveled in a sudden, similar way. Federal of cers detained them during routine check-ins with immigration authorities, traf c stops and raids as part of the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. On June 24, they were shackled and placed aboard a plane back to Venezuela. Across the South American nation, relatives prepared to wel- come them home. Some bought balloons. Some cooked favorite meals. Others got in their cars and headed to greet the deport- ees when they landed at Simón Bolívar International Airport. But there were no reunions that day. Instead, Venezuelan of cials loaded the group of 146 deportees — including 19 wom- en and seven children — onto buses and drove them to Hotel Santuario La Llanada, a secluded government facility perched on a hillside in the coastal state of La Guaira. Hours later, two power- ful earthquakes struck Venezue- la in what now ranks as one of nation’s deadliest natural disas- ters on record. More than 5,500 people were killed, nearly 17,000 were injured and the United Na- tions estimates that upward of 50,000 are still missing. The four-story building where the immigrants were being kept toppled into a pile of broken con- crete, twisted metal and dust. Neither the Venezuelan gov- ernment nor the Trump admin- istration has publicly released a complete passenger manifest. Nor have of cials explained why deportees were taken into cus- tody by the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN), the state security agency that has been accused of human rights violations, and what happened to them. Immigrants sent by ICE to Venezuela were held in building that collapsed SEE VENEZUELA ON A8 Fauci is facing intense pressure BY DAN DIAMOND Anthony Fauci didn’t know Rand Paul had his diary, let alone that the GOP senator was going to release it, his friends said. So last Saturday — after the Kentucky lawmaker had public- ly shared years of Fauci’s private refl ections, on everything from fi ghting covid-19 to attending “A-List” events — Fauci went to another party. There, at a birthday celebra- tion for former White House chief of staf Ron Klain, Fauci mingled with friends and former Biden administration colleagues. They cheered and toasted him, apparently unaware that his crit- ics were combing through doc- uments that would kick of one of the most fraught weeks of his decades-long career. For a few hours, Fauci was back inside a familiar Washing- ton. Then reality intruded. His longtime critics now control congressional committees, the health agencies where he spent his career and the Justice De- partment that could ultimate- ly decide whether to prosecute him. After years of promising to hold Fauci accountable for the government’s pandemic re- sponse, they are fl exing their power to try. The past week of ered the clearest glimpse yet of what that reckoning could look like. Last Monday, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a long- time Fauci foe, bragged about his department’s months-long ef orts to scour 11 government servers to reassemble Fauci’s di- ary and turn it over to Paul. On Wednesday, Fauci faced hours of questions from Paul and fel- low Republican senators at a congressional hearing Fauci and his allies believe was designed to entrap him. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify more than 100 times.

Sporting a black Troy Jack- son for Maine baseball cap, he clutched a sheet of notepad pa- per scrawled with a message: “Congratulations Troy Jackson on your Nomination to run for Election to the U.S. Senate.” It was the notice that Mc- Breairty, a longtime supporter of Maine Democrats’ newly in- stalled replacement Senate nom- inee, hoped of cials in Jackson’s tiny hometown would add to the digital sign outside their tiny municipal building. “Win or lose, that’s my high- light of politics, that a friend of mine could potentially be a U.S. senator,” McBreairty said, mo- mentarily choked with emotion. Inside her of ce, Allagash’s town manager sat writing checks. Nola Begin is no fan of Jackson, who she says didn’t do enough to help their struggling community as he rose through the political ranks over two de- cades to become president of the Maine Senate. Three years ago, they clashed when Jackson ran unsuccessfully for the position Begin now holds. She couldn’t understand why one of the most powerful politi- cians in the state wanted the job at all. “We have functions in this community that he never shows up to. We have deaths in this community that he never shows up to,” Begin said. “We don’t see Troy here in this community.” Gleeful about fl aunting Jack- son’s victory, McBreairty hand- ed Begin his note, wondering whether she would be willing to post the message.

Until he had a Chipotle bowl. “It’s fast food,” Gámiz said. “But it’s real food.” Since then, every time Gámiz visited the United States, he made a beeline for Chipotle’s “Mexican Grill,” becoming what he called a “real Chipotle-man.” This month, the burrito broke his way.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) to run for president — and if they wanted the DSA to endorse her — it was time to start now. “We’re in the moment of the presidential question,” Katie Sims, an electoral organizer in Ithaca, New York, said at the “DSA for AOC” gathering. “Doesn’t it just make sense now?” That was, for many, the ques- tion looming over the Demo- cratic Socialists of America’s summit, right in the middle of the group’s most consequential summer ever. A self-dubbed big-tent group that was essentially dormant a decade ago, the DSA has bal- looned into one of the largest and most disciplined operations on the U.S. left. The Chicago summit hosted about 600 dues-paying mem- bers who fl ew in from across the country to attend workshops and swap organizing strategies as their group faces greater mo- mentum — and greater scrutiny — than ever before. After its members helped elect Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York, DSA-backed candidates won a string of Democratic pri- maries this summer in deep-blue cities. The victories intensifi ed a broader fi ght with centrist Dem- ocrats, some of whom signed on to a pledge declaring themselves “capitalist, not socialist.” If upcoming primaries in Michigan and Missouri go their way, some speculated, the demo- cratic socialists might be able to start their own small caucus on Capitol Hill. “Before, we were putting our shoes on, or lacing our shoelac- es,” said John Lewis, an engineer in New Orleans who serves as a member of the DSA’s National Political Committee, the group’s top decision-making body. “Now we’re getting ready to run.” What’s not totally clear is for what — or, with whom at the helm. The DSA’s 120,000 members are supposed to make decisions democratically, and there is still broad disagreement about whether and how the group might make an endorsement for the White House. Divisions often arise over key questions: Should the DSA work within the Democratic Party or break from it? Should they back only the most committed social- ists or also support those who might stray from their platform sometimes? In the case of Ocasio-Cortez and the 2028 Democratic prima- ry, a potential endorsement is a test of how fl exible it might be to take its message on a national stage. Ocasio-Cortez, who was not at the Chicago summit, became one of the DSA’s fi rst two mem- bers elected to federal of ce when she won her initial race for Congress in 2018. But her failure to adhere to the group’s red lines on the war in Gaza prompted the national DSA to withdraw its en- dorsement two years ago. She has also publicly declined to support abolishing the Sen- ate, a moon-shot goal for the DSA, in favor of more targeted moves like ending the fi libuster. Lewis, a member of the Marx- ist-Leninist “Red Star” caucus within the DSA that has repudi- ated Ocasio-Cortez, said he ex- pected her to run. She is active in the DSA’s New York chapter and has since shifted again on some Israeli-Palestinian issues, he pointed out. But his former chapter was split apart by a similar endorse- ment question in 2020, and he cautioned against a “paper en- dorsement” that might fall fl at with the DSA’s base. “It has to be something that people can deeply believe in,” he said, “and someone that people deeply trust to do this.” *** In the halls of the hotel con- ference center in Chicago, an in- dependent bookstore sold titles on mass incarceration, Palestin- ian poetry and theories of engi- neered confl ict. Chapters set up tables of ering T-shirts to “Melt ICE” and stickers to “stop arm- ing Israel.” Similar messages appeared on DSA members themselves. Some wore green “Groundwork” hats, for the environmentally minded group within the DSA that ad- vocates for working within the Democratic Party. Others had cof ee mug tattoos to rep their allegiance to the Marxist Unity Group — MUG for short. At one workshop on Friday morning, the standing room only crowd was instructed to break out into small groups with a prompt: what they didn’t think was possible beforehand that feels attainable now. In the back corner, a group of three from New York, Califor- nia and Kentucky went around introducing themselves — the name tag for each “comrade,” as some call themselves, list only fi rst names and last initials, but nothing more. The woman from New York answered the prompt by men- tioning Ocasio-Cortez. (DSA members, aside from those in elected of ce or on the NPC, were instructed not to talk to reporters at the conference, and that member declined to share their last name for privacy rea- sons.) “We’ve all known Alex. We’ve all organized with her over the years,” she said. “This is the fi rst time in 10 years I feel like she has a real shot at the presiden- cy.” Like many other DSA mem- bers at this summit, Ocasio-Cor- tez worked on Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign. The future New York congress- woman was, of course, still years away from making it to Congress and nearly a decade away from the minimum age to run for the White House. If the DSA had previously functioned as a home for some politically frustrated millen- nials, it grew into much more than that. A series of galvanizing events over the last few years — Trump’s reelection, the war in Gaza, Mamdani’s victory — have ballooned the DSA in size, with more than 140 chapters around the country. Some have been wrapped into each chapter’s social events. Others were drawn in by local causes or campaigns. The ability to put all those people to work — out knocking doors and phone-banking voters — is what has made the DSA an electoral force in some cities. Sims, who leads the DSA’s national electoral strategy, said chapters carefully decide if they have the capacity to boost a can- didate before endorsing them — or sometimes recruiting them. Only those candidates endorsed by local chapters go to national leaders for a possible endorse- ment later on. To beat campaigns with more money, Sims said, “we really got- ta put our feet where our mouth is.” Still, debates over how exact- ly to put that electoral strategy into practice have roiled the DSA in recent years. Some of the more staunchly Marxist factions hold a hard- er line against candidates who don’t always talk about being a socialist or adhere to all parts of the group’s platform. Other cau- cuses, like Groundwork and So- cialist Majority Caucuses, which dominate the New York chapter, may be more open to putting re- sources behind such DSA mem- bers. There’s an added challenge with congressional candidates like Will Lawrence and Abdul El- Sayed in Michigan, who have not formally adopted the DSA label or received the group’s backing — perhaps intentionally — but back platforms that resemble those of democratic socialists. A presidential endorsement would amplify that debate — and do so across every DSA chapter. The DSA’s 2020 endorsement of Sanders followed intense in- ternal discussion, though par- ticipating members ultimately approved it. “Everybody is well aware that everything we’re doing right now as DSA is either setting us up or not setting us up to be seri- ous political players in the 2028 election,” said Frances Gill, a Los Angeles psychiatrist and NPC member. Summit participants were slated to hold a closed-door dis- cussion on whether and how to endorse later in the weekend. Alex Pellitteri, a union orga- nizer in New York City who is leading the DSA’s “presidential exploratory group,” compared the upsides to Mamdani’s city- wide race in his hometown. Before the campaign, the DSA’s New York chapter — by far its largest, making up about 1 in 8 of the group’s members — had largely only supported cam- paigns in its strongest bases of support in Brooklyn and Queens. Part of the argument for en- dorsing Mamdani’s mayoral campaign was to get its mus- cular canvassing operation into parts of the city where they had never knocked a door. Backing a presidential candidate, he said, could enable the group to do the same across the country. But there are still questions over what that might look like — and risks. Some people who want to sketch out a “model of co-gov- ernance” for SIOs — social- ists-in-of ce — at the presi- dential level before endorsing. Others want to reconcile an endorsement with the group’s platform, formally dubbed the “national program,” which advo- cates for replacing the presiden- cy with a parliamentary system. And then there’s the reality that Ocasio-Cortez could very well choose not to seek out the White House. At the “DSA for AOC” event at an of -site bar on Friday night, a fellow comrade came up to Sims to ask the second question on everyone’s mind: Is there anyone else they’d want to encourage? Sims paused and thought for a second. “Well,” they said, “no one.” “We’re in the moment of the presidential question,” said Katie Sims, who leads the DSA’s national electoral strategy. “Before, we were putting our shoes on, or lacing our shoelaces,” said John Lewis, a DSA National Political Committee member. “Now we’re getting ready to run.” PHOTOS BY JOSHUA LOTT FOR THE WASHINGTON Morgan Dreher, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America’s Portland, Oregon, chapter’s steering committee, at the DSA convention Saturday.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 • THE WASHINGTON POST A3 EZ RE THE NATION Graham, making her political debut, says she will boost Trump’s agenda BY MEG KINNARD Associated Press lexington, s.c. — Sen. Dar- line Graham made her political debut before hundreds of Re- publican voters in South Car- olina on Saturday, saying that she never envisioned a life in politics for herself until after the death of her brother Lind- sey Graham, and now wants to work hard to promote the state and President Donald Trump’s policy priorities. Graham is serving in an in- terim role to fulfi ll her brother’s current term. But as one of nine Republicans seeking to replace him in a special primary elec- tion set for Aug. 11, she is a rel- ative political unknown facing of against some of the state’s best-known GOP names. On Saturday, she acknowl- edged that she has not spent de- cades in politics but argued that she understands the real-world applications of the federal pol- icy debates her brother knew well, like budgeting and the cost of health care. She reiter- ated that, like her brother, she is backed by Trump, who urged her to get into the race and has endorsed her. “I certainly never expected to be on this stage, giving this stump speech,” Darline Graham said to a crowd gathered for the event in Lexington. “I’ve never had any desire to be a politi- cian. I’m here today because I’m answering President Trump’s call to serve. I want to stand up for South Carolina, and I want to fi ght for President Trump’s agenda.” Graham found herself thrust into the political spotlight just three weeks ago, following her brother’s sudden death from an aortic tear. Given the compressed time- line of the special election, Dar- line Graham now has just more than a week to convince South Carolina Republican voters that she is the best pick to represent the state. Up to this moment, she has been known to the state’s voters primarily through her brother’s origin story, including their hardscrabble upbringing and parents’ early death, and in the period of mourning for her brother, for whom funerals in Washington and South Carolina took place just days ago. All nine of the hopefuls were on hand Saturday for the event, with fi ve minutes each to speak onstage. Former governor Mark Sanford, seeking yet another political comeback after a halt- ed bid for Congress earlier this year, warned against defi cit spending and debt accumula- tion, hallmarks of his decades in political messaging. Reminding attendees of his endorsements in the race, in- cluding Sens. Rick Scott of Flor- ida and Mike Lee of Utah, Rep. Ralph Norman also stressed his support for a voting bill known as the Save America Act, among Trump’s top policy priorities. Rep. Russell Fry, a two-term House member, talked to voters of his own humble beginnings, saying that the things that held his family together “were our belief in God, hard work, blue-collar hustle.” After the speeches conclud- ed, hundreds of attendees got in line for free Chick-fi l-A box lunches, as well as the chance to cast a vote in an informal straw poll for their preferred candi- date — a survey in which Dar- line Graham eked out a victory, ahead of Fry and Norman. Several attendees said they just wanted more information — and more time — to make their choices in the primary. Charles Brentnell said his top three picks were Norman and Fry, as well as Graham, with whom he said he agreed on backing Trump’s demand to cut short its planned breaks to pass legislation, like the voting bill. “Let’s keep the Senate in the Senate, instead of taking a month of ,” Brentnell said. Still mulling his choice as he stood in the straw poll line, Gary Atkinson said he was lean- ing toward picking Norman, but that he liked a lot of what he heard from several people. “Those are all strong candi- dates,” said Atkinson, who said he had supported Lindsey Gra- ham in the past, but disagreed on some issues, like the war with Iran. “It’s tough to make up your mind.” If needed, a runof election will be held Aug. 25. The Repub- lican nominee will face Demo- crat Annie Andrews in the gen- eral election. Other candidates speaking Saturday included Walterboro attorney Duke Buckner, Green- ville businessman Mark Lynch, former Myrtle Beach Mayor Mark McBride, retired Air Force of cer Glenda Gail Parker and entrepreneur Sam Shepherd.

Several states report cyberattacks on water systems BY AMY B WANG, ELLEN NAKASHIMA AND PRANSHU VERMA Federal authorities are warn- ing that critical infrastructure systems in the United States could be at risk after at least sev- en states reported cyberattacks that interrupted their water or wastewater operations this past week. According to a joint alert from the FBI and the Environmental Protection Agency, “malicious cyber actors” have been remote- ly tampering with some water systems’ internet-connected pro- grammable logic controllers, or PLCs, causing loss of water pres- sure and fl ooding. The warning, issued Thurs- day, comes after U.S. intelligence of cials said Iran was probably behind a coordinated cyberat- tack on more than 30 municipal water systems in Minnesota. Ex- perts have also warned for years that U.S. water industry, which has resisted regulation ef orts, has been vulnerable to cyberat- tacks. Intelligence agencies have not defi nitively concluded that Tehran was responsible for the disruptions in Minnesota, but the hack follows urgent warn- ings by federal cybersecurity of- fi cials that Iran for months has been targeting internet-exposed devices that control operations at water, wastewater and ener- gy facilities in the U.S. In July, federal cybersecurity authorities specifi cally warned that Iranian hackers were exploiting vulnera- ble PLCs. President Donald Trump has blamed Minnesota’s govern- ment, not Iran, for that attack. The FBI did not respond to a re- quest for comment Friday about whether it believed Iran was re- sponsible, saying the agency and others were “fully engaged to protect critical infrastructure.” The Washington Post reported Thursday that intrusions have been noted at several water and energy systems across the coun- try since shortly after the war began on Feb. 28. Federal authorities have not identifi ed which states were af- fected in recent hacks. Outside of Minnesota, Michigan and South Dakota have also reported at- tacks. However, experts said it is likely that many more states are af ected, given that the brand of PLCs targeted — Rockwell Auto- mation/Allen-Bradley — is wide- ly used. “We only have one internet and it’s the same equipment for all these victims. ... Theoretically, you should see these [vulnerabil- ities] in all 50 states,” said Josh- ua Corman, a public safety and resilience expert at the Institute for Security and Technology. To date, the cyber attackers have employed “low sophisti- cated tactics” to hack into inter- net-connected PLCs, often ones with weak or nonexistent cre- dentials, according to Alec Davi- son, an analyst with WaterISAC, an information sharing program with the government intended to strengthen security. The hack- ers have subsequently modifi ed passwords to lock out operators and disconnect controllers, he said in an email. “This has led to boil water notices and forced utilities into sustained manual operations,” Davison wrote. The risk is that cyberattack- ers tampering with PLCs could change the “logic” or software of a system so that an operator might not detect an issue with, say, dangerous levels of chemi- cals. A July 22 advisory issued by the Homeland Security Depart- ment’s Cybersecurity and Infra- structure Security Agency noted that the FBI and CISA have ob- served Iranian hackers tamper- ing with the PLC’s logic software, “allowing systems to enter un- safe conditions without notify- ing operators of the anomalies.” “Operators see normal dis- plays. No alerts fi re and the pro- cess can enter an unsafe condi- tion without anyone knowing,” said Kurt Gaudette, head of intelligence for Dragos, a cyber- security fi rm that specializes in protecting critical infrastruc- ture. Experts widely agreed that water infrastructure in the Unit- ed States has been uniquely vulnerable for more than a de- cade. Of the roughly 151,000 wa- ter plants in the United States, about one-third service residen- tial communities year-round. But only about 420 water plants participate in WaterISAC to try to improve cybersecurity across the water sector. “We have under half a percent paying attention to cybersecu- rity,” Corman said. “U.S. water is incredibly prone. We’ve been prey, we just didn’t have preda- tors with an appetite for water, but that’s over.” Another issue is that many small- and medium-size utilities are using third-party integrators or contractors to confi gure the security settings on their sys- tems, and these contractors are using default credentials and weak passwords. Compounding the problem, the water industry has also re- sisted ef orts to be regulated for cybersecurity. After the Biden administration tried to impose cybersecurity audits of water utilities in 2023, some water in- dustry groups and three states — Missouri, Arkansas and Iowa — sued, causing the EPA to roll back its standards. Nate George, the mayor of Braham, Minnesota, which expe- rienced a hack earlier this week that caused the town’s plant to briefl y go of ine, said in a state- ment on Saturday to The Wash- ington Post that cities such as his need more resources to comply with mandates to ensure their utility systems and infrastruc- ture are safe. “I would actually argue it falls mostly on states that mandate local governments make certain upgrades to their utility systems or other infrastructure but fail to provide the funding to pay for it or maintain it,” said George, a Republican running for state au- ditor in Minnesota. Cybersecurity threats to the water sector, however, are only expanding. Trump, at a meeting with Cab- inet of cials at Camp David on Friday, waved of the suggestion that Iran was involved in the Minnesota attack — and in turn blamed its of cials, a frequent political target. “I blame it on Minnesota be- cause they’re grossly incompe- tent,” Trump said at the Cabinet meeting. “I would blame it on Minnesota and the governor, the corrupt governor of Minnesota. Iran’s got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota.” Gov. Tim Walz (D) pointed the fi nger at both Iran as well as at Trump. “Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too,” Walz wrote on X. “This is what modern warfare looks like, and it further illustrates there’s no plan to win a war with Iran.” FBI, EPA issue alert about intrusions by “malicious cyber actors” ELLEN SCHMIDT/AP A water tower in Plymouth, Minnesota, on Thursday after a cyberattack targeted the operating tech- nology at more than 30 water systems across the state.

THE WASHINGTON POST • MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 A4 EZ RE In key Senate race in Mich., El-Sayed won’t play nice BY ERIN COX ann arbor, mich. — The at- tack ads suggesting that Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is sexist have become so pervasive that even his daughter, 8, asked why people say he’s mean to women. In the most ubiquitous one, El-Sayed’s critiques of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and for- mer fi rst lady Michelle Obama’s signature initiative are present- ed as evidence he disrespects women. His explanation to his daugh- ter is that “some really bad peo- ple” don’t want him to get elect- ed. His explanation to grown-ups is that he is not contemptuous of women, in particular, but holds disdain for a fl awed political sys- tem he wants to rebuild. And he makes no apologies for that. “I have a lot of contempt for the system,” he said in an inter- view. “I’m not here to play nice.” A former public health of - cial with the skillful delivery of a podcaster, El-Sayed has built a progressive candidacy that es- tablishment Democrats view as a threat to gaining control of the Senate in November. They’ve backed his more mod- erate opponent, Rep. Haley Ste- vens, in Tuesday’s primary, argu- ing that El-Sayed’s far-left views and acerbic tone will turn of swing voters and hand power to Republican Mike Rogers, a for- mer congressman who narrowly lost a Senate bid two years ago. The dynamic refl ects Demo- crats’ long-simmering civil war between left-wing populism and establishment fi gures fearful progressive wins would spoil their carefully built coalitions and cost them winnable races in swing states. In the fi nal days of the Mich- igan campaign, a fl ood of polit- ical ads attacking El-Sayed as sexist hit mailboxes as Stevens’s supporters describe a pattern of playing on stereotypes about women, diminishing their intel- lect and suggesting they cannot think for themselves. While El-Sayed called Stevens “the least capable candidate in America,” he’s also aimed his razor-sharp wit and ridicule at billionaires, establishment Dem- ocrats who need “to molt out,” mainstream media that he says cherry-pick narratives, Republi- cans, foreign governments, and most especially corporations that pour cash into politics as “legalized bribery.” All, he says, are elements of a political sys- tem that deserve scorn for pro- tecting a failed status quo. El-Sayed, who has Egyptian heritage, would be the country’s fi rst Muslim senator. He and many of his supporters see the allegations of sexism as a per- secution built on tropes about Middle Eastern men, part of the reason El-Sayed has cast himself as a David against the Goliath of establishment Democrats and corporate interests. “It’s easy when you’re running against somebody who looks like me to run the treads of a well- worn stereotype,” El-Sayed said. The pro-Israel lobby connect- ed to American Israel Public Af airs Committee, known as AIPAC, has spent $30 million opposing El-Sayed, much of that accusing him of disrespecting women. El-Sayed has told AIPAC to “burn their money” trying to defeat him. He calls the war in Gaza a genocide and campaigns on ending military aid to Israel. The accusations about sex- ism aren’t confi ned to attack ads. Women backing Stevens, a three-term congresswoman who worked for the Obama adminis- tration, have also called out his language as a potential political liability and said he needs to be held accountable for his own words. “We have enough attacks on women,” said Kelly Garrett, may- or pro tem of the Detroit suburb of Lathrup Village. “If there’s even an iota of it, it’s not worth it to me.” Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Michigan), who has given multiple interviews about what she called “deeply intense sex- ism” in the race, told The Post that the attack ads aside, not all criticisms of El-Sayed are a fab- ricated smear campaign. “Abdul needs to answer for his own words,” said Scholten, a Ste- vens supporter. El-Sayed has not walked back the comments that drew the most backlash. He once called the popular Whitmer, who re- cently endorsed Stevens and beat El-Sayed in the 2018 guber- natorial primary, “bought and paid for” because she took dona- tions from a company her father led. He has said Stevens can’t “string two coherent sentences together.” “The issue is not intelligence,” he said of Stevens, whom he called “plenty smart.” “What I think about her is ac- tually quite secondary to what I think about her style of politics, because it’s exactly everything I’m running against,” he said. Stevens has not directly called him sexist, but she critiques his approach as “unfortunate” and “insulting,” saying that he lodges complaints without articulating plans to solve problems. El-Sayed has surged in polls. With his “money out of politics, money in your pocket, Medi- care-for-all” populist slogan, a viral online presence and an ir- reverent embrace of polarizing new media fi gures, El-Sayed has attracted powerhouses from the ascending political left. The success drew unprec- edented cash for a Michigan primary, with more than $60 million in outside spending at- tacking him or boosting Stevens. Stevens adopted a contemptu- ous tone as the election nears. One of her recent X posts called El-Sayed “buddy” and “bro” and accused him of wanting to blame “all of your problems on Jewish Americans.” He describes attacks on his character as evidence of a fl ail- ing Democratic establishment fearful of what could follow a decisive progressive win in a crucial swing state. “It turns out, I don’t need you to like me,” El-Sayed said at a volunteer rally in Pontiac last week, where he encouraged sup- porters to be courageous enough to fi ght for policies to make their lives better. “I need you to like you,” he said. His ridicule has been aimed at men, too: He mocked Heath and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for work- ing out in jeans. He called the presumed Republican nominee Rogers “a beta” and taunted the 63-year-old former congressman for posting an AI-enhanced pic- ture that gave Rogers a muscular upper body. He likened primary- ing 6-foot-8 Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D), a critic of Democrats who question Israel, to putting an ogre’s head on a spike. “Is John Fetterman not an ogre?” Abdul asked in an inter- view. “What else do you compare him to? I mean, he’s very ogre- like to me.” Susan J. Demas, a longtime Michigan political journalist, said that while El-Sayed’s scath- ing critiques apply to men, too, she sees “an edge to his attacks when he’s facing female oppo- nents.” El-Sayed has also said state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D), who dropped out of the race, lacked charisma and “copies my homework, just poorly.” He criticized her as misunderstand- ing health care reform, wishing her “Good luck!!” in reading his book on the topic. Shannon Watts, a McMorrow supporter and founder of the gun violence prevention group Moms Demand Action, said it’s impossible to separate El-Sayed from an online bro-culture that bolsters his candidacy and uses his contempt as license to ridi- cule Stevens’s voice, manner- isms and appearance. “It’s a very toxic culture,” Watts said. “I’m not interested in someone who’s contemptuous toward women, even if they’re contemptuous toward every- one.” Watts endorsed Stevens after McMorrow dropped out, and AIPAC’s SuperPAC has used her words — without her consent, she notes — in ads accusing El-Sayed of disrespecting wom- en. The same ad quotes a 2010 op-ed he wrote that called then Obama’s anti-obesity ef orts “in- ef ectual.” El-Sayed points out he called it “commendable, if inef ectu- al” because the root causes of obesity have less to do with ex- ercise and more to do with race and poverty. And he argued that if his opponents could dig up more than a constellation of out- of-context comments, it would have been blasted across Mich- igan TV, too. “If they had any evidence of my actual mistreatment of wom- en, you would have heard all about it in ad after ad,” he said. “The best you got is that I wrote an op-ed about the Let’s Move campaign?” The online mockery of Stevens became a liability recently, when it reached a fever pitch and El- Sayed spoke up on X that “it’s become impossible to ignore.” “If you support me please stop,” he wrote, before listing a number of policy positions he thought his supporters should use to attack her instead. “We don’t need to be unkind to be honest.” Months before the political attacks started, El-Sayed’s wife, Sarah Jukaku, had worried peo- ple would take something he said the wrong way. Sitting at her dining room ta- ble in February, she talked about the stress of running to be the fi rst Muslim in the Senate. “There’s such a subtle way of otherizing someone. When you’re like a brown guy or Mus- lim guy, you know, the easiest thing to tack on to you is sexism, right?” she said. “That’s not how he is,” she said. ”It feels so un- fair.” The pervasive narrative about El-Sayed has seeped deeply into the fabric of the race, with Ste- vens’s supporters seeing sexism and El-Sayed’s seeing cynical politics at its worst. At one of El-Sayed’s recent canvassing events in Saginaw, Serenity Hope Salak dismissed the sexism allegations as a se- lective misunderstanding of his candidacy. “He doesn’t disparage wom- en,” she said. “He tells people that things aren’t working.” At a recent rally in Ferndale, Laura Varga, 64, described her- self as a feminist who sees El- Sayed’s mission to rid money from politics as pivotal to revers- ing the country’s decline. Then she spent four days knocking on 200 doors for him, only to come home to a mailer that cited a discrimination law- suit against his former employ- er as evidence he disrespects women. For about 90 minutes, she said, she “spiraled” at the thought she’d boosted a candi- date she couldn’t support. “My values and my vote are the only thing I can control in this race,” she said. “The fear- mongering got ahold of me.” She ultimately looked up the ongoing lawsuit and read for herself that he was not accused of personally mistreating wom- en. She decided the mailer dis- torted reality, just like the rest of politics. Olivia George and Karen Tumulty contributed to this report.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 • THE WASHINGTON POST A5 EZ RE ing nothing, before confi rming that she could take care of his request the next day. “Thank you for doing that,” McBreairty said. “I just thought it would be appropriate to give him recognition.” “Absolutely,” Begin concurred. “Nothing wrong with that.” As he takes on veteran Re- publican Sen. Susan Collins in November in one of the marquee races for control of the Senate, Jackson is betting that his back- ground, including an early career in the logging industry, will al- low him to reach the rural Main- ers who have increasingly drifted away from the Democratic Party. An oft-repeated stump slogan invites voters into a movement not from the left or the right, but from the bottom. But even in Allagash, a one- road hamlet within spitting dis- tance of the Canadian border, its 200-odd residents are sharply divided over their most famous son. For some, Jackson’s elevation to Senate candidate — he re- placed Maine Democrats’ orig- inal nominee, Graham Platner, who withdrew in a cloud of scan- dal — is a moment of pride. National politicians don’t typ- ically come from a place such as Allagash. It’s so remote that half the town doesn’t have cell service and the radio almost exclusively picks up French-language sta- tions broadcasting from Quebec. Like much of northern Maine, Allagash has been in economic and population decline for de- cades, though it’s now sustained in part by tourism — canoeing on the adjoining Allagash River and hunting and snowmobiling in the surrounding woods. “Most people think that one person can’t make a change and they can. One person can make a dif erence,” said Darlene Du- mond, who runs Two Rivers Lunch, the only restaurant in town. “But I don’t know if any- body ever thought that [would be] a man coming from a small little place like Troy Jackson. There are millions that identify with him.” Jackson continued to win re- election to the state legislature for two decades, even as the his- torically Democratic region he represented trended more con- servative. In 2020, he received 59 percent of the vote in his Senate district, while Collins won more than 67 percent of Aroostook County, where Allagash is locat- ed. His supporters insist that Jackson retains the authentic ap- peal of an outsider who will fi ght for the working class. “He’s not going to be in the pocket of anyone,” Dumond said. “I doubt that that will happen to a man from Allagash. It just doesn’t happen like that here.” Others are more skeptical of his ability to draw in Republi- cans. “Should you have your cam- era on my face right now?” Be- gin told a reporter when asked about the prospect, contorting into what might be described as a quizzically derisive scowl. In a community that main- tains close ties to logging — a visitor will lose count of the number of trucks driving by stacked with timber — Jackson’s opponents resent how a man who long ago pivoted to politics still claims the mantle of logger. It feels inextricable from their broader complaint that Jackson never did anything for their com- munity, wasn’t focused on help- ing the people of northern Maine when in power, unlike fellow Aroostook County native Collins. “When I look at Troy and he’s holding that chainsaw, that’s ri- diculous. He’s an impostor,” said Karie Kelly, who beat Jackson in the 2023 local election. Kelly compared Jackson to her hus- band, who she said still spends half the week away at a logging camp after 30 years in the indus- try: “He doesn’t represent the true men that put their blood and sweat into these woods.” The split in Allagash is cer- tainly political; Jackson’s biggest fans are Democrats, his loudest critics Republicans. But it is also intensely per- sonal. The community is full of lifelong residents who are relat- ed to one another and know ev- eryone’s business. Some people won’t speak openly about Jack- son and the Senate race for fear of of ending friends or family on the other side. Jackson’s mother, Colleen Mc- Breairty, said she stopped check- ing social media because of how nasty the discussions have be- come. “I don’t think I understand it,” she said, seated on her screened porch decorated with Jackson campaign signs. “If someone from our little town, a young man or a young lady, did well, I’m happy for them. So I don’t under- stand that logic, that mindset. I really don’t.” Hanging over everything is the recount. In March 2023, during the fi - nal stretch of his tenure in the state Senate, Jackson sought to become Allagash’s elected exec- utive, known as the fi rst select- person. He faced, among others, Kelly, a housewife who said she ran to process the grief of her son’s death fi ve years prior. “The town really pulled to- gether when my son passed away and I thought, you know, just give a little back,” she said in an interview. Kelly — who wore a blue “Let’s Go Brandon” T-shirt, a derisive reference to former president Joe Biden — said there wasn’t much of a campaign, other than calling friends to vote for her. She beat Jackson, 78-70. Then Jackson, citing concerns about “only one person seeing the ballots,” requested a recount. It ignited a furor locally, partic- ularly after Jackson’s son raised the possibility of tampering by Begin, who oversaw the election. The fi nal result was nearly iden- tical: 77-71. “I was very insulted. And he didn’t even show up for the re- count. And that was even more insulting,” Kelly said. “He didn’t even, like, acknowledge me. He didn’t congratulate me.” Though she was proud of her service as fi rst selectperson, in- cluding a Christmas party she organized for the children in town, Kelly said she felt shunned by Jackson’s supporters, some of whom she had considered friends. The following year, months into her second one-year term, she resigned. “It wasn’t worth the heart- ache,” she said. “I tried real hard, but the town was so split down the middle. His side hated me so bad. They hated me with a ven- geance.” Those who were pulled into the drama, including Begin, re- main of ended by the incident. So do some of Jackson’s support- ers, who believe it has been over- blown and used to paint him in an unfairly negative light. “The man had a right to ask for a recount. Oh, and that was blasphemy,” said Wayne Mc- Breairty, who has no direct rela- tion to Colleen. “God almighty, to think that somebody would ask for a recount in this town. God almighty, he should have been tarred and feathered.” Dumond said the locals who dislike Jackson are really driven by “sheer jealousy” of someone who achieved so much success away from Allagash. The gripes that he doesn’t spend enough time in town and never did any- thing to help them, she said, are just an excuse. “Did Susan Collins come here and sit at your table and have tea with you all the time?” Dumond said. “When we come home to the bubble, you have to make your way back in the bubble and get their trust back. You’re still an outsider.” Begin is aghast at that sugges- tion. “I would never be jealous of a bully,” she said. “And you can print that.” Once McBreairty left the town of ce, Susan McBreairty, Alla- gash’s clerk and Wayne’s sister- in-law, walked over from her desk to consult with Begin about his request. Another local Jackson skeptic, she did not want to put up the congratulatory message. It could be seen as an endorsement of Jackson, she reasoned, and then they might have to do the same for Collins. McBreairty messaged a friend on Facebook: “can a town put a congratulations on the marquee sign congratulating Troy?” The response came almost im- mediately. “Can they? Yes. Should they no. This is where having a policy is important,” the friend wrote, adding a winking addendum: “Put it out for vote.” “We have functions in this community that he never shows up to. We have deaths in this community that he never shows up to. ... We don’t see Troy here in this community.” Nola Begin, town manager of Allagash, Maine MAINE FROM A1 SOFIA ALDINIO/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Troy Jackson celebrates after being chosen by Maine Democrats as their Senate nominee.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 • THE WASHINGTON POST A7 EZ RE BY MARIANA ALFARO AND AMY B WANG Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said Sunday that his former son- in-law, Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), is “a danger” and should not serve in Congress in the wake of his daughter Emily Moreno’s do- mestic abuse allegations against Miller. Emily Moreno has accused the congressman of abusing her, including throwing hot wa- ter on her and holding a gun to her head. She has also accused him of harming their 2-year-old daughter. Sen. Moreno’s comments came about 90 minutes after Miller, in a lengthy live-streamed video, denied the allegations of domes- tic abuse and said he would not drop his reelection bid. In a post on X, Moreno de- scribed the congressman’s behav- ior as erratic and said he feared for his family’s safety. “He is a danger to my daugh- ter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter,” Moreno wrote. “If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected of ce, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives.” Moreno also wrote that Mill- er should “seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake.” Moreno said that while he want- ed to keep “this matter private,” Miller’s “increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior” has made that “impossible.” “It has been horrifi c to watch this play out in full public view, all while knowing an innocent 2-year-old girl is caught in the middle,” Moreno said in his post. Moreno’s post marked the fi rst time the senator publicly called on Miller to leave the House since his daughter’s allegations against him fi rst became public. On Thursday, after Emily More- no fi led for a new restraining or- der against Miller, the senator’s of ce said in a statement to The Washington Post that his “top priority is the safety and well-be- ing of his daughter and grand- daughter.” Earlier Sunday, Miller vowed in a live-streamed video on X that he would not drop out of the Ohio congressional race. Miller also called the allegations of abuse false, saying the couple had a respectful relationship be- fore they became involved in a custody battle. “If I had assaulted her, would she had of ered to cook me din- ner six days later?” Miller said of his former wife. “Would she have invited me to spend an afternoon at the playground with her and our daughter? Would she have writ- ten that we were in a friendlier place?” the congressman asked as he faced the camera in what appeared to be his home kitchen. Miller’s comments sparked immediate reaction on social media, with users pointing out that victims’ response to domes- tic violence can vary. Advocacy organizations say victims may behave in ways that may seem counterintuitive, including try- ing to “placate the perpetrator” by “laughing, complying, or try- ing to ‘keep the peace,’” accord- ing to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, which says “appeasement” can be a “learned survival tool.” Emily Moreno has accused the congressman of physically abusing their daughter, who in February suf ered a fractured collarbone. Miller said in his video that his ex-wife was making up the accusations because she is men- tally ill. Her attorney has denied that. Miller and Emily Moreno married in August 2022, had a daughter in November 2023 and divorced in June 2025. Miller, 37, is running for a third term repre- senting Ohio’s 7th Congressional District. In court fi lings, Emily Moreno said Miller that in June 2024, on the day she said she planned to leave him, he threw hot water on her from a pan of eggs he had just cooked. She said that caused her to fall to the fl oor, and Miller afterward sprayed her with the sink hose. On Sunday, Miller dismissed that incident as “horseplay.” “I sprayed water at her from the sprayer attached to our kitch- en sink tap water, which does not reach boiling temperature or scalding,” Miller said. Miller has also accused his ex- wife of domestic violence, but a judge formally dismissed Miller’s case against Moreno last week. Near the end of the Sunday video, Miller said he would pro- duce evidence of his claims on the fi le-hosting service Dropbox, which his of ce published online after his live stream. Looking directly into the cam- era, Miller said he would contin- ue his campaign for reelection. “I’m not getting out of this race, and I’m winning in Novem- ber, and I’ll be back in the 120th” Congress, he said. Sen. Bernie Moreno says former son-in-law Rep. Max Miller is ‘a danger’ ELIZABETH FRANTZ/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST; DEMETRIUS FREEMAN/THE WASHINGTON POST Rep. Max Miller, left, and Sen. Bernie Moreno, both Ohio Republicans. Miller has denied allegations of domestic abuse brought by Moreno’s daughter, Emily Moreno. Fast-spreading wildfi res in eastern Washington state prompt evacuations BY MIRIAM WALDVOGEL Firefi ghters are battling three wildfi res in Spokane, Washing- ton, after fast-moving fl ames forced the evacuations of about 5,000 homes on the city’s north side Saturday. More than 600 structures had burned as of Sunday morning, a number that is likely to increase once damage assessment teams get on the ground, said Benjamin Cossel, a spokesperson for the federal team managing the sit- uation. It was not clear yet how many of those structures were homes or businesses. The fi res follow an extremely windy weekend that the Nation- al Weather Service said put the Spokane area at “extremely criti- cal” fi re risk, the agency’s highest level of warning. While tempera- tures Sunday were forecast in the mid-70 degrees Fahrenheit, dangerous fi re conditions could return later this week as tem- peratures soar into the 90s and humidity drops. Wind speeds may also increase later Sunday. One fi re has already jumped the Spokane River, with crews now attempting to prevent it from moving up a steep can- yon on the other side that could channel wind gusts. Anoth- er came within blocks of two schools in the evacuation zone, district spokesperson Ryan Lan- caster said, though ultimately the schools were untouched. Altogether, the three fi res have torched about 7,700 acres so far on Spokane’s north and west sides. Spokane is the second-largest city in Washington and is home to about 230,000 people. In June, about 11,000 people were evacu- ated because of another wildfi re that broke out in the city’s north- east. “There is a possibility that once those winds pick up, es- pecially with that canyon being somewhat in alignment with that … that could cause some po- tential problems,” Cossel said. Washington Gov. Bob Fergu- son (D) said Saturday he had activated 110 National Guard members to help support fi re- fi ghting ef orts. With the fi res in Spokane, there are currently 10 large wildfi res burning in Wash- ington state. Nationwide, the number of acres burned has already exceed- ed last year’s total. The National Weather Service has issued air quality alerts in the coming days for parts of Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho because of wildfi re smoke. About 20 percent of the land area of the entire Northern Hemisphere experienced mod- erate or greater concentrations of the soot particles given of by wildfi res at some point in the month of July alone, according to a Washington Post analysis. In addition to wildfi res burning in Canada and the northern United States that sent massive plumes of smoke across the Eastern Sea- board, France and Spain have also experienced record-break- ing fi res.

THE WASHINGTON POST • Monday, August 3, 2026 A8 EZ RE  The Washington Post sought to find out who the immigrants were and how they ended up on Flight 164, interviewing rela- tives of 16 passengers — most of whom are now dead or missing — three survivors, human rights experts and Venezuelan officials, and reviewing videos, photo- graphs, text messages and other documents. Most of those whose cases were reconstructed had pending asylum claims when they were detained, their relatives said. About half had been shielded from deportation through tem- porary protected status until the Trump administration canceled that benefit for Venezuelans last year. Several of the passengers told their families they were hoping to continue pursuing their im- migration cases but ultimate- ly agreed to be deported after weeks or months in ICE deten- tion. The Department of Home- land Security did not respond to requests for information about who was on the flight and denied accusations that detainees are pressured to voluntarily deport. “This flight safely reached Venezuela and all illegal aliens on board were returned home,” the agency said in a written state- ment. “When an individual is no longer in ICE custody, ICE is no longer responsible for them.” Venezuela’s Ministry of Com- munication and Information did not respond to requests for infor- mation about the deportees, why they were taken into custody and what happened to them. They also did not comment on accusa- tions that officials have provided confusing and in some cases in- correct information to relatives about whether their loved ones survived. The families said they were left to search on their own for answers. The ruins of Hotel San- tuario La Llanada remain under the control of Venezuela’s intel- ligence police and have been closed off to family members, rescue groups and the media. Relatives of the deportees have spent weeks seeking information through leaked passenger lists, cellphone videos, text messages, phone calls, and visits to hospi- tals and morgues. Several rela- tives said SEBIN officers warned them not to speak publicly. “They failed us,” said Daniely Hurtado, the wife of Osal Muji- ca, the former Venezuelan police officer. She blamed the U.S. gov- ernment for what she described as psychological torture in de- tention and the Venezuelan gov- ernment for negligence after the earthquakes. “It was an irrepara- ble failure.” Arrests and detention Since arriving in the Unit- ed States in 2023, Osal Mujica had repaired roofs, cleaned wa- ter tanks and made deliveries around Denver, sending money home to pay for household ex- penses and his son’s schooling. He applied for asylum and ob- tained a work permit. But he missed an immigration court date when the summons paper- work went to an old address. When Denver became satu- rated with immigrant workers, many of whom had also crossed the U.S. border during the Biden administration, Osal Mujica started looking for opportuni- ties in Wyoming. He had a Col- orado-issued driver’s license, his wife said, and found work mak- ing deliveries. He did not know Wyoming does not recognize state licenses issued to drivers without a legal status, she said. “‘I’ll give myself one year,’” Hurtado recalled her husband saying. “He never wanted to be there, but he went to help his family.” A sheriff’s deputy stopped Osal Mujica, 32, while he was driving in April. In Wyoming and across the country, local agencies were increasingly cooperating with ICE to carry out immigration enforcement. He was taken into custody and immediately signed a voluntary departure order, his wife said. In early May, he withdrew his asylum claim and told a court he would not appeal a removal or- der. But his detention dragged on and he grew increasingly anx- ious and depressed. Osal Mujica told his wife that the lights were kept on at all hours and that he struggled to sleep. During one video call, he showed his son a bleeding scar where he had etched the boy’s name into his arm with a blade he had stolen. Hurtado scolded him, terrified. He later went on a hunger strike, begging author- ities to let him go. He lost 60 pounds. Hurtado said officials told her husband they had lost his papers. Later, detention officers said he would have to pay for his own flight home. His family de- posited money into his account, but weeks went by with no word of when he would return. DHS did not comment on Hur- tado’s accusations, saying only in a statement that Osal Mujica had entered the country illegally and that the Transportation Security Administration had caught him using a fraudulent Social Secu- rity number in November 2023. His family said he had been duped by someone he believed was an attorney shortly after ar- riving in the United States and thought it was a valid number. “He told his sister, ‘If they don’t release me, I don’t know what I’m going to do,’” Hurtado recalled through sobs. Mujica went on to lament to his wife: “I was just working. Why are they making me suffer like this?” Similar stories of arrest and detention were unfolding across the country. While DHS was not staging large-scale federal im- migration deployments like the ones it conducted in Minneap- olis and Chicago over the past year, officers were still making hundreds of arrests each day. The men and women who would eventually find themselves on Flight 164 were among those detained in a wave of apprehen- sions that rarely made headlines. In May, a Mother’s Day traf- fic stop in Jacksonville, Florida, resulted in the arrest of Dan- iel Alejandro Nuñez Ramirez, 28, whose family said he had a pending asylum claim. Three days later, Broward County sher- iff’s deputies descended on a Home Depot where day laborers gathered looking for work and detained 29-year-old Yonaiker José Ortiz Lara, who had no le- gal status. In New Jersey, Jhonat- tan Lamus, 40, received a notice directing him to report to immi- gration authorities to regularize his immigration status. He had received temporary protected status but, like other Venezue- lans, now faced the possibility of removal after it was canceled. “Instead of going into hiding, as many people did, he decided to show up and follow the law,” said Adela Osuna, Lamus’s cous- in. “Part of him wanted to go back to Venezuela, and he jok- ingly said to us, ‘Well, if they de- port me, even better — I save my- self the price of the plane ticket.’” By June, ICE officers had be- gun to dramatically increase arrests as part of a new enforce- ment surge. In Chicago, immigration offi- cers arrested Villegas Castillo, 37, the former fisherman, after en- tering a house where he was do- ing construction work, his sister said. On June 13, Florida High- way Patrol stopped landscaper Luis Alberto Marchán Hernán- dez, 27, while he was driving a work truck near Orlando. A week later, immigration officers arrest- ed Yamilk Alberto Caldera, 32, and his wife as they made food deliveries in Tucson. Pereira Amesty, 34, and his wife were summoned to check in with ICE in Tennessee in June. They had obtained and then lost temporary protected status shielding them from deporta- tion but were still pursuing an asylum claim. Officers gave the couple a choice, their niece said: One of them could be detained while fighting their immigration case, or they could both sign pa- perwork agreeing to leave the country with their son. The family agreed to volun- tarily deport, and was told they’d have until August to buy plane tickets and pack their belong- ings. But when they went to a check-in a week later, officers told the family they’d be leaving that day, their niece said, and immediately took them into cus- tody. Other families were separat- ed. Ortiz Lara, who was arrested at the Broward County Home Depot, texted his partner from Camp East Montana, a notori- ous tent city at Fort Bliss, Texas, where many of the migrants who would eventually board Flight 164 were being held. “Esto es duro,” he texted his partner, who shared the texts on the condition of anonymity be- cause she fears being targeted by authorities in the U.S. and Vene- zuela. “This is really hard.” The couple made a plan. Ortiz Lara’s partner and their toddler would surrender to federal im- migration officers and request deportation so they could rebuild their lives together in Caracas. The night before his flight home, Ortiz Lara sent one final message. “Nos vemos en Venezuela.” We’ll see each other in Vene- zuela. Flying home Jeycibeth Montiel Nava felt torn as she boarded the plane in El Paso. The 31-year-old mother of three had fled Venezuela after receiving threats tied to her fam- ily’s involvement in local politics. She applied for asylum in 2023 and believed a judge would rec- ognize the merits of her case and offer her a path toward citizen- ship. But weeks inside Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center had worn her down. She said guards yelled obscenities at the de- tainees, denied them bathroom breaks and served them bowls of food like beans that had worms. She withdrew her asylum claim and signed papers agree- ing to return voluntarily. Going back meant seeing her children again. It also meant giving up on the future she had imagined in the United States. Women and children were as- signed seats together in one part of the plane, and men placed in another. The adults were shack- led at the wrists and ankles. “We were happy to go after all of the abuse,” she recalled. “But we thought we’d be free.” When the flight landed in Ven- ezuela, passengers were greeted by government officials and tele- vision cameras. Venezuela’s Return to the Homeland Mission, the govern- ment initiative charged with pro- cessing deportees, posted photo- graphs and video celebrating the migrants’ arrival. Officials em- braced passengers and handed toys to children. They referred to the plane as Flight 164, the gov- ernment’s tally of deportation flights from the United States and other countries. Since the program’s creation in 2018, the government has portrayed it as a humanitarian mission, welcoming Venezuelans home after hardships abroad. At the same time, government of- ficials have frequently accused migrants of being manipulated by foreign powers and cast sus- picion on those who leave the country. “When the cameras are rolling, they hug you,” said one deportee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of security concerns. “But once that’s done, they treat you like you’re a trai- tor for leaving the country.” SEBIN agents loaded most of the Flight 164 passengers onto buses headed for Hotel Santu- ario La Llanada. The terracotta-roofed com- pound overlooking the Caribbe- an had never operated as a hotel. Built around 1960 as a Catho- lic primary and high school, it later housed a “city of youth” SEE Venezuela ON A9 Venezuela FROM A1 ANDREA HERNÁNDEZ BRICEÑO/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST ABOVE: Rescuers amid the ruins of a building in the Misión Vivienda area of La Guaira, Venezuela.

Monday, August 3, 2026 • THE WASHINGTON POST A9 EZ RE  where residents attended school, learned trades and per- formed in a renowned traveling circus. The Venezuelan gov- ernment eventually converted the property into a residential drug rehabilitation center and, during the coronavirus pandem- ic, a quarantine facility. After Iceland deported a group of Venezuelans in 2024, SEBIN used the facility to pro- cess returnees before releasing them to their families. Flight 164’s passengers would follow the same route. “They told us we were being detained because we are under investigation for 24 hours be- fore they deliver us to our fam- ilies,” Montiel Nava recalled. “I don’t know why they needed to take us there.” Officials issued new nation- al identity cards and instruct- ed the deportees to find bags labeled with their names that contained their belongings. But SEBIN agents collected people’s phones and demanded the pass- words, several survivors said. One man said an agent told him officials were looking for evidence that deportees op- posed the government. If they found it, the agent warned, they could be detained longer. Deportees were allowed to make a single phone call home — with a phone provided by a SEBIN officer. Before dialing, they had to give the name, na- tional identification number, address and cellphone number of the relative they wanted to contact, survivors said. Officials assigned the deport- ees to rooms lined with bunk beds and told them they could not leave except to use the bath- room under escort, deportees said. They distributed towels and toiletries, turned on the water so everyone could show- er, then brought meals to the rooms. Montiel Nava said she was one of the last of the women to be processed for her national identification documents. She went to her room on the sec- ond floor, lay down and started drifting to sleep with her Bible tucked underneath her pillow. Around 6 p.m., screams star- tled her awake. Everything shook. The walls around her be- gan to collapse. Debris smashed the metal frame of the bunk bed she was resting in and came within inches of crushing her. “I could hear people scream- ing and crying,” Montiel Nava said. “To get out, I had to climb over the piece of cement that had crushed to death the wom- an who was next to my bed.” Nine women crawled out an opening in the pancaked roof to safety, she said. Montiel Nava said that she asked some of the intelligence officers to help them rescue those still inside but that they did not respond to her pleas. Dazed and shoeless, she started walking as night fell. For four hours, she trekked past what she described as a nightmare reel of pulverized cement, headless children and crushed bodies. She arrived at a Venezuelan National Guard command post where people were beginning to assemble an open-air morgue. A soldier brought her an are- pa to eat. Searching the rubble Far from Caracas, in the small town of El Mecocal, one deportee’s mother was careful- ly writing “Welcome Home” on a banner when news about the earthquakes began to spread. As the hours passed, she be- gan to worry. She knew her son, Arturo, was being held by the govern- ment after landing near the epi- center of the disaster. The Post agreed to identify Arturo by only his first name and withhold his mother’s identity because the family fears retribution in Ven- ezuela. He fled the country in 2023 to help support his mother and her work as a seamstress. Arturo’s town quickly ral- lied to find him. On June 26, a convoy of motorcycles and cars loaded with food, water and medical supplies left from the western state of Zulia and be- gan the 16-hour drive toward La Guaira. They arrived at dawn. But SE- BIN officers had sealed off the site of the collapsed building. Families were barred from en- tering, and many were threat- ened with detention, said the leader of Arturo’s convoy, who spoke on the condition of ano- nymity for fear of retaliation. Relatives of residents from other destroyed buildings could sometimes find their loved ones in morgues and intensive care units by searching for peo- ple found at a certain address. But many of Flight 164’s family members did not know exactly where they had been taken, and said the deportees at most were labeled “repatriados” — repatri- ated. Arturo’s search party eventu- ally received word that his body had been found in a Caracas morgue. When they arrived, he wasn’t there. Then came an- other call from an improvised morgue at the Port of La Guaira. His mother recognized him by the tattoo stretched across his ribs: “Family. Where life begins and where love never ends.” Other families of the deport- ees said they received confusing and at times contradictory in- formation. Intelligence agents twice vis- ited the home of Adela Osuna’s uncle in the state of Táchira, she said. During one visit, they offered condolences, telling the family that her cousin, Jhonat- tan Lamus, had died. The next time, they told the family to stop talking publicly about his case. A week later, however, a SE- BIN official scrolled through what Osuna believed was a pas- senger list on his cellphone be- fore telling her Lamus was not among those recovered from the rubble. Perhaps, he suggested, her cousin had wandered away after the earthquake. Perhaps he had amnesia. Perhaps he was in shock. She should keep check- ing hospitals. “They’re the ones who took him there” to Hotel Santuario La Llanada, Osuna said later. “They’re the ones who should be looking for him.” Orly Guzmán found her son Andrés Contreras alive at Pérez Carreño Hospital in Caracas three days after the earthquake. While sitting beside his hospi- tal bed, she said, she received a phone call from SEBIN offer- ing condolences because her son had supposedly been found dead. “They simply have no idea who is alive and who isn’t,” she said. Another family, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said SEBIN officials offered to provide proof that their loved one was alive in exchange for $100. The next day, they said, they began receiving messages asking for more mon- ey to feed and care for him. Four days after the earth- quake, they found his body in a morgue. The secrecy extended beyond the deportees. Venezuelan au- thorities have never publicly ac- knowledged that SEBIN officers also died in the collapse. But one intelligence officer, speaking on the condition of anonymity be- cause he was not authorized to discuss the disaster, told The Post that at least 20 of his col- leagues were buried beneath the rubble. Montiel Nava said the silence surrounding the fate of her fel- low Flight 164 passengers has compounded the pain. “They hid our story,” she said. “They hid us. No one mentioned Flight 164. Families had to work on their own to find out what happened to their loved ones. … Not President Trump and not the Venezuelan government mentioned or talked about us.” Some families have stayed be- hind in Caracas and La Guaira, hoping each new lead might fi- nally tell them what happened. Jhonattan Lamus’s family doesn’t own a car, but relatives have been taking turns making the 12-hour trek by bus to the capital every week. He still has not been found. “We just want closure at this point,” Osuna said. “We need to know where he is.” An unknown toll One month after the earth- quakes, the Venezuelan gov- ernment has not disclosed how many of the deportees died and how many are still buried be- neath the hotel. Pereira Amesty was pulled from the rubble alive but grave- ly injured. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. His wife and their young son clawed their way out of the collapsed building. SEBIN officers took them back into custody and lat- er drove them to their family’s home. It took Osal Mujica’s wife five days to find her husband’s re- mains. Authorities sent her from hospitals to the morgue, blocked her from entering Ho- tel Santuario La Llanada and, at one point, presented her with a body that was not his. Eventual- ly her sister-in-law in the United States obtained a photograph of a decomposing body, and Hurta- do recognized by Osal Mujica’s Dragon Ball Z tattoo and the bracelet U.S. deportation offi- cers had placed on his wrist. Hurtado went to retrieve the body. In a pants pocket, she found her husband’s deporta- tion order, folded and stained with dust from debris. She wrapped it in plastic. That was the document he had spent months anxiously waiting to re- ceive. She wanted to keep some- thing he had longed for. María José Villegas Castillo traveled to La Guaira by boat from her family’s hometown in hopes of bringing her brother home. She found his remains three days after the earthquakes. His face had swollen beyond recognition, but she recognized his body by the Chinese charac- ters tattooed along his ribs. His family cremated his re- mains and gathered with friends to bid the fisherman farewell. They built an altar draped with Venezuelan and American flags. As tambores — traditional Afro-Venezuelan drums played at celebrations and funerals — echoed across the gathering, relatives poured a splash of anís liquor over the urn before carry- ing it aboard a waiting fishing boat. They scattered Villegas Cas- tillo’s ashes into the Caribbean. The fisherman who had crossed continents trying to provide for his children returned to the sea without ever making it home. His youngest daughter still has not accepted that he is gone. “She says she wants to die,” Villegas Castillo’s sister said qui- etly, “because she wants to stay in the sea with her daddy.” Helena Carpio in Caracas contribut- ed to this report.

THE WASHINGTON POST • Monday, August 3, 2026 A10 EZ RE  The World Yemen’s Houthis join fray, open dangerous new front in Iran war by Rachel Chason, Meg Kelly, Mohamad El Chamaa and Suzan Haidamous For nearly five months, Ye- men’s Houthi rebels sat on the sidelines as their main backer, Iran, weathered devastating U.S. and Israeli attacks. That changed in recent weeks with a resumption of fighting between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia — a close ally to the Unit- ed States in the Iran war. The Houthis, increasingly frustrated with what they say is a blockade by Saudi Arabia, launched strikes on the Sau- di state oil company and an- nounced a blockade of Saudi ships passing through the Red Sea. The move adds another cru- cial waterway, in addition to the Strait of Hormuz, to regional se- curity concerns — and injects es- calatory potential into a conflict that shows few signs of resolving and potential for expansion as it enters its sixth month. Saudi Arabia responded Thursday to the blockade by announcing a defense coalition aimed at protecting internation- al shipping and energy routes in the Red Sea. Pro-Houthi commentator Hussain al-Bukhaiti, whose brother is a senior political offi- cer in the group, predicted that there would be “more escalation” if Saudi Arabia does not accept Houthi demands, which include free movement at Yemen’s ports and airports, the exchange of all prisoners of war and the use of Yemen’s oil revenue — much of which is under Saudi control — to pay salaries for civil servants and for services across the coun- try. He said that the likelihood of Saudi Arabia accepting those de- mands is low, noting increased collaboration with the United States. Since the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran in response to the U.S.-Israeli attack that began in February, Saudi Arabia has used its East- West pipeline to transport much of its oil to the Red Sea coast for export through the Bab al-Man- deb Strait, under the shadow of Houthi fighters. That presented a target that appeared too tempting to pass up for the Houthis, whose will- ingness to step into the broad- er conflict remained an open question. Unlike Iranian-backed groups such as Hezbollah in Leb- anon and Shiite militias in Iraq, they had largely refrained from intervening in the war on Iran’s behalf. “Oil is the backbone of Saudi Arabia,” al-Bukhaiti said. “If you want to hit someone, you hit them where it hurts.” Over the past weeks, the Houthis have done just that, ap- pearing to strike a Saudi-flagged oil tanker and two petroleum fa- cilities on the country’s Red Sea coast, according to satellite im- agery and official statements. “When you have a pattern of people testing and reacting to each other, as the Houthis and Saudi are doing, the opportunity for misunderstandings is ripe,” said Adam Baron, a fellow with the Future Security Program at New America, a Washing- ton think tank, who studies the Houthis. “When you are testing red lines, ... there is a risk of things getting out of hand.” From 2015 to 2022, Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia fought a war that brought Ye- men to the brink of famine and contributed to the deaths of hun- dreds of thousands of Yemenis, according to findings by the U.N. Development Program. It ended with a fragile truce in 2022. Efforts to go back to the nego- tiating table following that truce were complicated by the Houth- is’ decision to launch attacks on Israel and on ships in the Red Sea, in retaliation for Israel’s campaign in the Gaza Strip, said Ahmed Nagi, a senior Yemen an- alyst for the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based research organization. This time, the Houthis’ deci- sion to get involved in the war reflected both their dispute with Saudi Arabia and their commit- ment to supporting Iran, Nagi said. The ongoing round of escala- tion began in July, when a plane from Iran arrived at Sanaa In- ternational Airport in Yemen — a red line for Saudi Arabia’s government, which views such flights as a national security risk. The Houthis then accused Saudi Arabia of bombing the air- port. “This was an excuse to esca- late because of local demands,” Nagi said, noting that the Houth- is understood such flights would not be accepted by Saudi Arabia. The timing, he said, was “not about Iran,” although he said that Houthi intervention prob- ably benefits both the Houthis and the Iranian regime. If in the past Iran had been a force mod- erating the Houthis, he said, that is no longer the case. And the Houthis also know that if Iran is weakened, he said, “by default they will also be weakened.” Mohammed Albasha of the U.S.-based risk advisory firm Ba- sha Report, said that the Houthis are using instability in the region to try to change a status quo that’s existed since 2022. The truce left Houthis in con- trol of northern Yemen, and an internationally recognized gov- ernment that is backed by Saudi Arabia controlling the south. They believe the strait off their shores “has quadrupled in value because of the Strait of Hormuz,” he said. “So this is their opportu- nity to maximize pressure quick- ly and get what they want.” Al-Bukhaiti, the pro-Houthi commentator, said that the de- cision by the Houthis to get in- volved was their own, but added that there is “no shame” in Iran helping them, and vice versa, comparing it to the relationship between Israel and the United States. He said that all it would take is “one call” from Iran, and the Houthis would close the en- tire Bab al-Mandeb Strait. So far, they have specified that their blockade is specifically against ships from Saudi Arabia. But the effect, still, has been that insurance premiums on all boats have shot up so much that traffic through the strait has slowed, ac- cording to maritime data track- ing companies. Houthi forces hit the Sau- di-flagged oil tanker NCC be- cause the vessel ignored warn- ings, Brigadier Gen. Yahya Saree, a Houthi spokesperson, said Tuesday. The tanker, which was laden with oil, was seen last Monday morning in the Red Sea, ac- cording to imagery analyzed by TankerTrackers.com. It appeared to have reversed course by Thursday, having moved north into the sea, imagery analyzed by the group shows. The tanker has not transmitted a tracking signal since July 23, according to the marine tracking firm Kpler. While the tempo of strikes is nowhere near what it was a decade ago, when the Houthis and Saudi Arabia were in a full- fledged war, the escalation of the past week is “unprecedented in recent years,” said Baron. “The Houthis want more con- cessions, and they are testing the Saudi red lines,” he said. “They also want to refute the narrative that U.S. and Israeli strikes have left them weak or incapable of doing something like this.” He said that the problem is that both sides “feel like they are living with a gun to their head ... and no one wants to live like that.” Already, Houthi attacks ap- pear to have hit at least two facil- ities belonging to the Saudi state oil company, Aramco, along the Red Sea. Satellite imagery of the Jazan refinery captured last weekend shows a plume of pitch-black smoke appearing to rise over an oil storage tank. Two days later, images show the roof of a large white oil storage tank in the same location, apparently black- ened. More than 600 miles south along the coast, at the Yanbu re- finery complex, satellite imagery showed several areas of discolor- ation, including what appeared to be a darkened long building, but analysts said they could not attribute the changes to a par- ticular cause. Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, said the group had fired ballistic missiles and drones at both the Yanbu and Jazan facilities, which refine hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil per day. Yanbu is also home to the main port of the East-West oil pipeline that has helped it skirt Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Nadwa Al-Dawsari, a nonresi- dent scholar at the Middle East Institute, a Washington think tank, who studies Yemen and the Houthis, said that the group waited to enter the war because there was “no strategic value in entering the confrontation ear- lier.” “Iran and the Houthis tend to escalate in stages, preserv- ing more consequential options until they are needed,” she said. “Their intervention now reflects a deliberate decision to increase pressure while still stopping short of fully activating the Red Sea front.” She said that the Houthis’ tar- gets so far suggest “a deliberate and graduated escalation” that is intended to impose enough eco- nomic pressure on Saudi Arabia to extract concessions and in- crease pressure on the U.S. But their stopping short of a “sustained, large-scale campaign against Saudi territory” is inten- tional, she said. “They are signaling both ca- pability and resolve,” she said, “while preserving more conse- quential options should the con- flict widen or diplomacy fail.” Rebel group’s blockade on Saudi vessels in Red Sea further inflames region KHALED ZIAD/AFP/GETTY IMAGES Sailors from the navy of Yemen’s internationally recognized government stand at machine-gun positions last Monday aboard a vessel in the Red Sea.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 • THE WASHINGTON POST A11 EZ SU Firefi ghting helicopters collide, killing 2 BY ELENA BECATOROS AND THOMAS ADAMSON Associated Press athens, greece — Two Greek fi refi ghting helicopters collided in midair Sunday as they were battling a wind-driven wildfi re west of Athens, sending one aircraft crashing to the ground. Two crew members, a Greek and a Danish national, died in the crash. The collision laid bare the danger at the most volatile front of Europe’s wildfi re emergency. Strong winds drove fl ames deep- er into the Greek capital region and forced fresh evacuations, France guarded a still-burning scar four times the size of Paris, and Spain’s major fi res stopped advancing. Greek Prime Minister Kyria- kos Mitsotakis expressed “sor- row for the tragic accident” and extended condolences to the families of the fi refi ghters killed in the crash. “The loss of the Greek coor- dinator and the Danish pilot at the time they were attempting the major fi re in Porto Gremeno fi lls us all with grief,” Mitsotakis said in a statement. The aircraft were Bell helicop- ters operating over the Psatha area west of Athens, each with a two-person crew. Foreign fi re- fi ghting and helicopter crews are often deployed in Greece to help tackle wildfi res during the country’s hot, dry summers. The two crew members who were recovered alive were a Greek and a British national. The fl ames had spread rapid- ly, threatening communities and an industrial district as violent gusts prevented fi refi ghting air- craft from collecting water from the sea. The blaze carried a grim resonance in a region where the 2018 Mati wildfi re killed 104 people, Europe’s deadliest blaze this century. Farther west, containment brought no end to the emer- gency. France’s largest wildfi re remained held within its perim- eter after forcing 224,000 people to fl ee in what may have been the country’s largest civilian evacuation outside wartime. Hot spots still burned with- in an area of about 160 square miles, thousands remained un- able to return home, and nearly 3,000 fi refi ghters were deployed against the Gironde megafi re and a second, still-uncontained blaze in Provence. Together, fi res in France and Spain have driven roughly a third of a million people from homes and vacation sites, emp- tied communities at the height of the European summer and stretched emergency services across simultaneous disasters. The mass evacuations in France and Spain are the lat- est measure of a wildfi re threat growing across Europe. The continent entered 2026 after its worst fi re year on re- cord, with more than 3,800 square miles burned in 2025. Over the past four decades, wild- fi res have been linked to nearly 800 deaths across much of Eu- rope, according to the European Environment Agency. Europe is the world’s fast- est-warming continent. It has warmed more than twice the global average since the 1980s, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Human-caused climate change made the extreme fi re-weather conditions behind this year’s French blazes at least twice as likely, scientists at World Weather Attribution found in a rapid analysis con- ducted while the fi res were still burning. Nearly 500 fi refi ghters and 23 aircraft were deployed in Greece, but gale-force winds drove fl ames through dry for- est and crippled the response, preventing some aircraft from reaching the sea to collect water. Authorities ordered the evac- uation of Kandili, Agia Skepi and Toutouli as smoke rose over the mountains. Crews were par- ticularly concerned about Porto Germeno, a seaside community on the Gulf of Corinth. The fi re began Friday near Agios Vasileios before sweeping toward Porto Germeno and into the forested mountains west of Athens. Firefi ghters evacuated 254 people by sea Friday and an additional 12 on Saturday — of- ten the last escape route when fi re and smoke cut the few roads from coastal communities. Wildfi re meteorologist The- odore Giannaros estimated the blaze had af ected 15 to 19 square miles, though authorities had issued no of cial fi gure. Elsewhere in Greece, fl ames threatened homes on Kefalonia, forcing evacuations from inland communities as aircraft made water drops over the Ionian is- land. Firefi ghters battled anoth- er blaze near Nea Tenedos on the peninsula of Halkidiki. Last week, two fi refi ghters died fi ghting a fi re on Crete, while a third was killed on the Peloponnese. “A pristine forest, a paradise, was surrendered to the hands of the fi re,” local farmer Minas Tzortzanis said Saturday. “There are no words to explain what has happened. Destruction. To- tal destruction.” In southwestern France, the Gironde megafi re remained held within its perimeter Sunday but continued to burn after scorch- ing 160 square miles of forest in 10 days. “The fi re is now fi xed, which does not mean that the fi re is ex- tinguished,” the Gironde prefec- ture said, using the French fi re- fi ghting term for a blaze whose advance has been stopped. The region remained under France’s highest red forest-fi re alert. Dry conditions, soaring temperatures around Bordeaux and afternoon winds threatened to rekindle the fl ames. In Le Porge, local of cials said about 150 homes were de- stroyed. Mechanic Matthieu Plessis returned Saturday to the ruins of a house that had been in his family for seven generations. “There are places I don’t even recognize anymore,” he said. “You don’t even know what was here anymore, or who lived where.” Firefi ghters from Ukraine, Lithuania and French Polynesia were expected Sunday and Mon- day to reinforce the operation. In southeastern France, near- ly 1,500 fi refi ghters battled a separate blaze in the Var depart- ment that tore through about 7 square miles in little more than a day. The Gros Bessillon fi re was stabilized Sunday after its pe- rimeter held overnight, but it remained uncontained. Some 2,500 people were evacuated as fl ames threatened nearby com- munities. It was the fourth major fi re to strike central Var since July 19. A smaller blaze near Brignoles earlier in the week forced actor George Clooney and his family, along with about 700 other res- idents, to evacuate before it was brought under control. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said France’s fi res were generally under control but warned that conditions re- mained volatile. He appointed a national coordinator to oversee reconstruction in fi re-ravaged areas. More than 450 square miles have burned across France this year. Spain’s major fi res — which have killed at least 13 people, produced the country’s largest recorded wildfi re and prompted a national emergency — were no longer advancing Sunday. In Zamora province near the Portuguese border, more than 20 ground and aerial units guarded the perimeter of the Fermoselle fi re against fl are-ups in the rugged Arribes del Duero landscape. Most evacuees had returned home, according to lo- cal media. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for a nation- al pact to confront wildfi res, warning that climate change is making them increasingly de- structive.

The Alpine Club of Pakistan identifi ed the recovered climb- ers as Purja, Wang Zhong, Nima Sherpa and Kili Pemba Sherpa. The club praised military and civilian rescuers and volunteers involved in the recovery ef ort. On Friday, rescuers located four other bodies but were able to recover only three — Omani Nathira Ahmed, American Mal- lory Geis and Nepalese Bahadur Gurung — because harsh weath- er grounded search-and-rescue helicopters. Military-backed rescue teams resumed the search Sunday for the two remaining climbers, while ef orts continued to bring down the bodies of Purja and the three others found by the ground team, local of cials said. On Saturday, Purja’s expedi- tion company said the world had lost one of mountaineering’s greats. The company described him as “a leader who inspired millions through his courage, humility and unwavering be- lief that human potential is far greater than we often imagine.” Alpine Club of Pakistan Presi- dent Irfan Arshad Khan said the tragedy was “an immeasurable loss to the global mountaineer- ing fraternity.” He paid tribute to military and civilian rescuers and Sherpas who took part in the search mission. The expedition was led by Pur- ja, the Nepal-born former British Army soldier widely known as Nims Dai. He climbed the world’s 14 highest peaks in a record 189 days in 2019, an achievement featured in the Netfl ix documen- tary “14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impos- sible.” His record was broken in 2023. A statement from Geis’s family said, “Mallory was a bright light who was loved deeply by her family and friends. She will be profoundly missed.” The expedition was expected to be the last one for Pakistani guide Sohail Sakhi, who worked with Moving Mountains, a Pa- kistan-based adventure travel company. Sakhi also was a geog- rapher and high-altitude photog- rapher who had climbed some of the world’s major peaks, accord- ing to the company’s website. His body remained missing Sunday. Accidents are common on climbing expeditions in northern Pakistan because of avalanch- es, falling ice and rock, extreme altitude and rapidly changing weather. 2019 PHOTO BY NIRANJAN SHRESTHA/AP Nirmal Purja, a renowned mountaineer, climbed the world’s 14 highest peaks in a record 189 days in 2019. bers have been killed in the Iran war, including four in recently renewed hostilities after Trump declared last month that a U.S.- Iran ceasefi re was “over.” More than 600 American service mem- bers have been wounded. After the failure of the cease- fi re,the U.S. ramped up its strikes on Iran and reimposed a naval blockade against all ships at- tempting to arrive at or leave Ira- nian ports. Iran has escalated at- tacks on countries in the region where U.S. troops are stationed, including Kuwait and Jordan, as well as on ships attempting to navigate the strait without Teh- ran’s permission. Iran fi rst blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point for oil and natural gas leaving the Per- sian Gulf, just days after the start of the war. The June MOU called for it to be “immediately” re- opened with no impediments for 60 days and for Iran and Oman to “conduct dialogue ... to defi ne the future administration” of the passage. But while Iran and Oman have held a series of discussions, Iran has continued to publicly insist that it have control of the strait, through which it intends to charge a toll, while the U.S., and much of the rest of the world, has said Iran should have no say in the crossings — a stance Tehran says is a violation of the MOU. In a social media post on Sun- day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran “must try to force the enemy to adhere to what he signed,” an apparent ref- erence to the disputed interpre- tation of the MOU. Raz Zimmt of the Institute for National Security Studies, an independent think tank in Isra- el, said part of the dilemma for the U.S is that military options would do little to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. “The Iranians may pay a heavy price, but from their perspec- tive, the price they will exact is at least equal, so it won’t help,” Zimmt said, adding that “what could be done via airstrikes has already been done.” Trump’s decision to pause the strikes came after reports that Israel and the U.S. were set to attack Iran’s energy infrastruc- ture. In response, Iranian securi- ty of cials told state media that the country would retaliate by striking Israeli and U.S. energy facilities in the region, escalating concerns in Persian Gulf coun- tries that host American troops and from energy companies. Last week, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched strikes on Saudi Arabia’s oil facil- ities and announced a blockade of Saudi ships in the Red Sea. Other U.S. allies, like Kuwait, are reeling from successive Iranian attacks on vital desalination in- frastructure. Ellen Nakashima and Pranshu Ver- ma contributed to this report.

THE WASHINGTON POST • Monday, August 3, 2026 A12 EZ RE  Chipotles opened this month at the base of a large shopping mall in the Monterrey metro- politan area, bringing to life what might seem an absurd proposition — one that Taco Bell attempted, and failed at, twice. “Like bringing ice to the Arc- tic,” went a famous quip about Taco Bell’s doomed forays into Mexico. But Gámiz, who grew up eating his mother’s traditional cooking, was delighted nearly beyond words. Here, at last, was Chipotle — not just in Mexico but in his Monterrey. “I was so happy,” said Gámiz, who has eaten at the restaurant more than a dozen times in two weeks. Every time, he has found the same scene: Not a single table available. Lines snaking along the windowed-walls. Ev- erywhere, Mexicans eating Mex- ican food, kind of. It’s difficult to extrapolate from Chipotle’s early success. Perhaps Mexico, with its cele- brated cuisine, a country where Michelin stars adorn eateries from food stands to chic restau- rants, is listo — ready to em- brace this populist U.S. take on its gastronomy. Or perhaps Chipotle chose its first location very wisely. By virtually every measure, greater Monterrey — one of Lat- in America’s wealthiest cities — is unlike the rest of Mexico. Home to many of Mexico’s larg- est companies and its tech sec- tor, per capita income is twice the national average. More importantly, it has a far tighter relationship with the United States, especially to Texas, which is just a three-hour drive away. English is frequent- ly spoken here. American chains and brands are omnipresent. Put another way, Chipotle, in this Monterrey shopping mall, has chose a home alongside a venerable collection of its Amer- ican brethren: Chuck E. Cheese, KFC and Hooters. While visiting for this sto- ry, a Washington Post reporter ate lunch at Chipotle, went for dinner at Chili’s, slept at a Wyn- dham Hotel and bought tooth- paste at a 7-Eleven. “Money, youth, college kids and proximity to the United States,” Pablo de Brito, director of Chipotle Mexico, said of Mon- terrey. “So there’s a much great- er chance they’ve traveled to the United States, a much greater chance they know Chipotle, and a much greater chance that they’ve eaten at Chipotle.” Regardless of what the future portends, Chipotle appears to be off to a stronger start than Taco Bell. Taco Bell’s first try was in 1992, when it opened a food cart in Mexico City to sell soft-shell tacos and nachos. But in a coun- try where tacos are literally fast food — served within minutes at street stands — Taco Bell folded faster than a Burrito Supreme. Its next attempt, in 2007, met the same result. “They’re not tacos,” Marco Fragoso, an office worker, told the Associated Press, seeming to speak for the entire coun- try. “They’re folded tostadas. They’re very ugly.” But Chipotle might have more success, said Jeffrey Pilcher, a taco historian at the Universi- ty of Toronto. He said Chipotle and Taco Bell may belong to the same food genus, but they’ve branched out in completely dif- ferent directions. Taco Bell, Pilcher said, is unabashed “junk food,” while Chipotle has branded itself as a health-conscientious alter- native, with fresh ingredients prepared in full view of the con- sumer. Chipotle’s menu, which derives from the Mission bur- rito in San Francisco, may have been inspired by Mexican cui- sine, he said, but isn’t trying to imitate it. “It’s a San Francisco thing,” Pilcher said. “It’s not Mexican Mexican.” That was a distinction many diners drew at the Monterrey Chipotle on Thursday after- noon. Few said they were eating Mexican food. They were eating American food, made from Mex- ican ingredients. “The taco is inherently Mexi- can,” said Rodrigo Oyarzun, 24. “For it to be a taco, it has to be made here in Mexico. That’s a fact.” But neither Oyarzun, nor any- one else in view, had come to Chipotle for tacos. They’d come for bowls and burritos. “Burritos are from over there,” Oyarzun said. “The con- cept of the burrito is completely American.” Gabriela Ramos, 21, eating a Chipotle salad, agreed: “People aren’t going to order tacos here because people don’t come here for tacos.” A bigger question is if Chipo- tle can reach beyond Mexico’s upper and upperly mobile class- es. Daniel Jiménez Morales, a construction worker who was laying cement outside, said he’d never heard of Chipotle and had no interest. “It’s gringo food for gringos,” he said. It was also unclear if Chipotle would ever try. De Brito said the early focus is entirely on Mexi- co’s wealthiest pockets. “People with higher purchas- ing power have traveled to the United States,” he said. “People with higher purchasing power know Chipotle and they give greater importance to the qual- ity of ingredients and healthier food.” A short walk away, at a post in the mall’s food court, was El Bocadito, which serves a buffet of traditional Mexican options. It was nothing fancy. The target wasn’t Mexicans of higher pur- chasing power. But Felicitas Martínez Hernández, the restaurant’s cook for more than two decades, said everything is made with love — and that’s what brings people back. “My mother always said, ‘If you cook from your heart, the people will like it,’” she said. “If you’re going to cook, you need to cook as if the people were part of your family.” That, to her, is Mexican food. She said she didn’t feel threatened by Chipotle. El Bo- cadito has been inside Plaza Fiesta San Agustín for decades and she expects it to be around for decades more. She wished Chipotle well. “Everyone has their own touch,” she said. “As my mother said, ‘The sun comes out for us all.’” “People with higher purchasing power have traveled to the United States. ... People with higher purchasing power know Chipotle and they give greater importance to the quality of ingredients and healthier food.” Pablo de Brito, director of Chipotle Mexico chipotle FROM A1 PHOTOS BY CÉSAR RODRÍGUEZ/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Customers have been showing up in droves at the newly opened Chipotle in Monterrey. Chipotle, with more than 4,000 U.S. locations, is moving into Mexico. Signs in the Monterrey shopping mall advertise the new restaurant. Executives hope to open as many as 200 locations this month. “The taco is inherently Mexican,” said Rodrigo Oyarzun, 24. “For it to be a taco, it has to be made here in Mexico. That’s a fact.” Pablo de Brito, director of Chipotle Mexico, sees a myriad of factors that he said can make the company’s push into Mexico successful. Chipotle dares to go where Taco Bell twice failed: Mexico

MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 • THE WASHINGTON POST A13 EZ RE ECONOMY & BUSINESS BY DÁNICA COTO Associated Press san juan, puerto rico — Puerto Rico’s government has authorized construction of a $2 billion luxury development in the island’s southwest region that environmentalists have de- cried, warning it would strain the U.S. territory’s resources and threaten wildlife. The project, known as Es- encia, would be built on 2,000 acres in the coastal town of Cabo Rojo. It would include 500 lux- ury hotel rooms, 1,200 private residences, two golf courses, an equestrian center, a school from kindergarten to 12th grade and a 24/7 medical center, among other things. Global investment fi rm Reu- ben Brothers and real estate development company Three Rules Capital said in a state- ment Friday that more than 75 percent of the project would be dedicated to conservation and green space, including restoring roughly 33 acres of wetlands and rehabilitating coastal dunes and mangrove ecosystems. They also said the develop- ment would be entirely pow- ered by renewable energy and would have its own water and energy infrastructure. Hotel brands joining the project so far are Mandarin Ori- ental and Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. Environmentalists decried the approval, which Puerto Ri- co’s Adjunct Board of the Per- mit Management Of ce issued late Thursday. The approval was shared with the Associated Press on Friday. The Defend Cabo Rojo Coali- tion, which opposes the project, said the people of Cabo Rojo and experts should have had the opportunity to be heard. “Citizen participation is not a favor granted by an agency; it is a fundamental principle of due process and an indispensable guarantee when our natural resources, water, communities, and the future of the munici- pality are at stake,” it said in a statement to the AP. Among those opposing the project is Braulio Quintero, executive director of the Puer- to Rico-based Institute for So- cio-Ecological Research. “We are going to fi ght this in every forum possible,” he said. “These are serious threats to our sustainability as a people.” Roberto Ruiz Vargas, chief operating of cer and partner of Three Rules Capital, told the AP on Friday that one of the fi rst priorities will be to provide public beach access and build the development’s own water system and power generation and distribution. He said three-fourths of the water will come from reused sources including rainwater and wastewater, and that groundwa- ter will provide one-fourth for potable water. “The fi rst thing we have to be clear about is that we are not tapping into the public infra- structure,” he said. “We will not hook up to those fragile water systems.” On Friday night, Puerto Ri- co’s governor announced a state of emergency regarding water use and activated the National Guard. A drought creeping across the island is deepening, and un- related chronic water shortages persist. Ruiz said that the develop- ment would not put a strain on a nearby agricultural valley nor tap into its water sources: “Far from taking from those systems, we will be contributing to those systems.” He noted that given the de- velopment’s exemption from municipal taxes, it has pledged $40 million overall to public improvement projects to be de- cided by the local government. The developers have stressed that they will protect the en- vironment and uphold public access to the beach. They not- ed that the project is expected to generate more than 17,000 jobs and asserted it would set a benchmark for “environmen- tally conscious luxury develop- ment.” “We understand that there are people that don’t agree with it,” he said. “We’ve addressed even the concerns that some of the opposition have voiced. We’ve always listened.” Developers said sales would start later this year and added that they anticipated welcoming the fi rst residents and guests in late 2029. Puerto Rico authorizes coastal development that environmentalists oppose The $2 billion Esencia project would be built on 2,000 acres in Cabo Rojo Now for sale: Fast access to Trump’s social media posts BY BERNARD CONDON AND BRIAN SLODYSKO Associated Press new york — President Donald Trump knows the world hangs on his every word. Now he wants you to pay for it. The social media posts of the world’s most powerful man went on sale Saturday when his Truth Social business began of ering sneak peeks of them to Wall Street traders willing to pay up. The move raises the prospect of big profi ts for Trump’s company and big questions about insider trading and using public of ce for private gain. Similar fast speed feeds are sold by other social media fi rms and media providers, but Truth Social doesn’t just distribute the news, it makes it, regularly rattling markets as Trump posts policy changes on everything from war to central bank leader- ship to tarif s. “If this was the CEO of a pub- lic company, this would be jail time,” said Irene Aldridge, head of Able Alpha Trading, which does not plan to buy the service. “We have a president of the Unit- ed States who has the front seat to all the action, who makes all the decisions, and he’s disclos- ing this ahead of time to a select group.” Asked about the propriety of the new service and whether White House lawyers had vetted it, Trump’s press of ce declined to comment, referring questions to Truth Social’s publicly traded parent. That company, Trump Media & Technology, issued a statement blasting Democratic critics for mischaracterizing the service “out of ideological oppo- sition to free markets or a failure to grasp the distinction between public and nonpublic informa- tion — or, quite possibly, both.” A prolifi c poster, Trump has sent stocks, bonds and curren- cies soaring and plunging with his online musings and threats. That presents opportunities for so-called high frequency trad- ers that specialize in buying and selling within milliseconds, ex- ploiting tiny, fl eeting dif erence in prices. Trump has recently threat- ened on Truth Social to slap higher tarif s on Canada, kill a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia and widen the Iran war. With ad- vanced knowledge, traders bet- ting on a plunge in the Canadian dollar, a drop in nuclear energy stocks and a jump in oil futures could have raked in big profi ts. “For the big guys, it’s going to be something they need,” said Joe Saluzzi, co-founder of Themis Trading, who estimates about 100 of high frequency fi rms might be willing to pay for the service. “It’s market-moving information.” Dubbed Truth API, the ser- vice comes as these fi rms are spending more on feeds and servers that bypass slower in- ternet connections with direct lines to news and data sources. The chance for profi ts is greater than ever thanks artifi cial intelli- gence’s ability to read posts and articles more accurately for mar- ket-making changes and Trump’s penchant for making news on- line. Traders profi t when prices jump up and down, and with his taste for clif -hangers, threats and policy reversals America’s fi rst reality-TV president pro- vides plenty of potentially mar- ket-moving content. The reversals are especially profi table, allowing traders to win both ways — jumping ahead of stocks moving up or down to a post threatening something, then cashing out within thou- sands of a second, then betting the other way. In addition to Trump, the ser- vice will include posts from oth- er “high ranking” Truth Social contributors, including possibly his two oldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, who along with the president are heavily followed by users. Truth Social has said that the information will be released to the traders and the general public at the same time so there really isn’t an issue of fairness. But Themis Trading’s Saluzzi, a critic of high speed trading, says that’s a red herring because when the posts are received, not when they are released, is what matters. “Somebody who buys the info and has a system built to pro- cess it will be able to act quicker than you and me,” said Saluzzi, adding in reference to everyday, small stock buyers, “The loser is always the retail investor.” Aside from policy scoops, another reason to sign up has emerged in recent months: Trump is posting more about publicly traded companies, praising ones he likes in a way that sets of buying frenzies. “The pimping of specifi c com- panies — obviously Wall Street would like to know that before other people,” said Dylan Hedler- Gaudette, a federal ethics rule expert at the watchdog Project on Government Oversight. “It’s a real mess.” In April, moments after Trump praised Palantir Technologies in a post that included its stock symbol, the price briefl y jumped the most it had in an entire year. Later that month, Trump post- ed, “Congratulations on Intel doing such a great job,” and the stock immediately jumped in af- ter-hours trading. Just which fi rms are signing up for the feed is unclear. Asked for comment, none of the half dozen most well known high- speed traders such as Citadel Securities and XTX Markets re- plied. If just three sign up for the $100,000 a month fee, that would double revenue at Trump Media, which reported taking in $3.7 million last year. The company can use their business. Stock in the Truth Social par- ent has plunged 75 percent since Trump took of ce last year as the company keeps reporting hun- dreds of millions in losses de- spite the president’s help driving traf c to its site by posting major decisions there. In fact, the president breaks news on Truth Social so often that the White House press of- fi ce will copy his posts into an email when responding to ques- tions from the media seeking details on policies. If his posts aren’t available yet, journalists are sometimes told, “Wait for the Truth.” Another problem for Truth Social is looming if the Demo- crats take control of Congress and launch investigations, as vowed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) in a state- ment Friday specifi cally attack- ing the new service: “We will haul in those responsible for this open corruption to answer to the American people.” If the losses keep mounting for the company, though, some predict the president will push things further, using the plat- form even more for policy an- nouncements. “That’s absolutely going to happen,” warns Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the good government group Public Citizen. “Trump knows how to sell products.” Questions about insider trading and using public offi ce for private gain JULIA DEMAREE NIKHINSON/AP President Donald Trump has sent stocks, bonds and currencies soaring and plunging with his online musings and threats.

He also said he expects the law to be invalidated within the year when the Supreme Court de- cides rules on challenges to similar bans in Connecticut and Illinois. That expec- tation accurately refl ects concerns that various justices have expressed about these laws, and their decision to fi nally take up the issue suggests those doubts run deep. I was one of the lawyers who conceived and litigated District of Co- lumbia v. Heller, the 2008 case in which the Supreme Court fi rst held that the Second Amendment protects an individ- ual right to own a gun. Policymakers in Virginia and else- where should understand that the jus- tices are serious about not allowing the Second Amendment to be treated like a second-class right anymore. And though there is still substantial room for reasonable regulations, they must be broadly consistent with the nation’s his- toric tradition of private gun ownership and armed self-defense. Clark Neily, Arlington The writer is senior vice president for legal studies at the Cato Institute. Why the antidrug campaign accomplished nothing I spent 31 years with the Drug En- forcement Administration, culminating with my tenure as chief of internation- al operations, and I agreed with the July 29 editorial “The military’s anti- drug campaign accomplished nothing.” However, neither the editorial nor the July 28 front-page article “Cocaine still fl owing despite U.S. strikes” alluded to the fact that, if the operation had been handled properly, signifi cant intelli- gence could have been gleaned from the strikes. Seizing the vessels, analyzing the contraband and debriefi ng the captured seamen would have provided valuable information about the suppliers as well as the ultimate destinations and recipi- ents. Clearly, there were missed oppor- tunities, and the operation to counter narcotics was not a victory. Michael T. Horn, Clifton Schedule I no longer f ts cannabis Regarding William Barr and Kevin Sabet’s July 30 Thursday Opinion com- mentary, “This marijuana disaster could rival Big Tobacco”: Removing cannabis from its Schedule I classifi cation and acknowledging its le- gitimate therapeutic utility is appropri- ate and long overdue. The Department of Health and Hu- man Services acknowledged in 2023 that cannabis should be federally reclas- sifi ed from Schedule I to Schedule III. That’s because cannabis does not pos- sess the same risks to health as do oth- er Schedule I substances like heroin, or even unscheduled drugs like cigarettes and alcohol. And more than 9 in 10 U.S. health care professionals support its legal medical use, according to survey data provided in May by researchers at the Johns Hop- kins University School of Medicine. Ac- cording to polling analyzed by research- ers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-quarter of clinicians surveyed had recommend- ed cannabis to their patients. Other nations around the world ac- knowledge cannabis as a legitimate medicine and regulate it accordingly. A review by the National Academy of Sci- ences determined that there is conclu- sive evidence that cannabis is ef ective in treating chronic pain and other seri- ous health conditions. The United States should acknowl- edge this reality. To argue otherwise is out of step with both public opinion and scientifi c consensus. Paul Armentano, Washington The writer is deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. I disagreed with William Barr and Kevin Sabet. I’ve smoked pot for 53 years now. Both of my oncologists rec- ommended that I continue to use mar- ijuana during my cancer treatment and recovery only if it was ef ective — it very much was. If it wasn’t for edible THC, I probably would have needed a feeding tube from the nausea and lack of appe- tite. My oncologists also told me that I did better than most other patients they had seen in handling radiation and chemo- therapy, and I recovered faster, too. I haven’t smoked pot and used edibles in- stead since a few weeks before my treat- ment started in April to help my body heal faster. I’m now in very good health. Mike Bartlett, Forest Grove, Oregon Finding the right balance on junk food Regarding the July 25 editorial “A junk bill to fi ght junk food”: The debate over regulating advertis- ing highlights the tension between pub- lic health and personal choice. Though warning labels and restrictions on car- toon characters may reduce the appeal of sugary and ultra-processed products, the dif culty of defi ning such foods risks creating confusion rather than clarity. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and his coalition rightly seek to protect children from manipulative marketing, but legis- lation must balance ef ectiveness with practicality. Overregulation could alien- ate consumers without changing habits, and less regulation might leave families vulnerable to aggressive promotions. Real progress lies in combining trans- parent labeling, nutrition education and community-based initiatives that empower healthier decisions. A society that values both freedom and well-being must craft policies that respect both. K. Chidanand Kumar, Bengaluru Letter submissions Send letters to letters@washpost.com.

HONG/AP AR-15-style rifl es on display in Burbank, California in 2022. AI labs are responsible for their models I T CAN BE EASY to forget when following debates around artifi cial intelligence that the frontier labs are building software, not sentient beings with minds of their own. OpenAI and Anthropic disclosed recently that their models got loose during safety testing and broke into computer systems of other companies. Both events have been described in the press as “escapes.” A “lab leak” would be more accurate. An “escape” suggests the existence of an actor that wanted out and schemed past its keepers. A “leak” puts the re- sponsibility on those that failed to pre- vent it. Anthropic traced its incidents to a misunderstanding with one of its con- tractors who left the test machines wired to the live internet. The models had been instructed that they were inside a simulation with no internet at all. They took the instruction at face value and treated everything they could touch as part of the exercise, in- cluding three real organizations whose poorly secured systems gave way. OpenAI was measuring how danger- ous its models could be at hacking, and for that test it deliberately switched of the safety features that normally make them refuse such work. It ran this ex- ercise on machines that could still fi nd a path to the internet. The models fol- lowed the assignment out of the enclo- sure, through a hole in a piece of stan- dard server software and into Hugging Face’s systems, in search of a solution to a puzzle they had been assigned. OpenAI later disclosed that the models touched the systems of at least one oth- er fi rm along the way. AI researchers say that advanced models plan, adapt and surprise their makers, so talking about a model’s in- tent is appropriate. But doing so un- helpfully confuses the debate about how to safely regulate AI. Consider computer viruses. Stuxnet, the worm that wrecked Iranian centri- fuges, was instructed to check its sur- roundings, make decisions on the fl y and update itself through infected ma- chines. It spread to tens of thousands of computers beyond Iran. No one asked what Stuxnet “want- ed” after it was discovered in 2010. The questions were always about who built the virus and who lost control of it. A frontier AI model is orders of magni- tude more capable than the compara- tively primitive worm, but it remains code. Or consider biological viruses. Dead- ly pathogens also do not “think” or set intentions, but they mutate once in the wild. That capacity to adapt is the rea- son containment exists. No biosafety of cer assumes a virus will respect the terms of an experiment. An organism that changes in ways nobody predicted is to be expected. By attributing individual agency to the models they devised, scientists are quietly nudging governments to think of AI risk as something that humanity as a whole needs to manage. More than a thousand employees and leaders of the labs recently signed an earnest open letter asking the U.S. government to “support an international ef ort to develop the technical and governance tools” to slow the pace of AI develop- ment. International cooperation won’t work. The best way to prevent uncon- trolled deployment of AI is to hold hu- man beings accountable for what soft- ware does in the real world. EDITORIALS A smarter way to fund scientifi c discovery A NEW POLICY REPORT from Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Of ce of Sci- ence and Technology Policy, of- fers many welcome suggestions for im- proving the way science is funded. It’s too bad so many other administration policies threaten to hinder these ef orts. America’s postwar commitment to lavishly fund basic scientifi c research has paid enormous dividends, from in- sights into the nature of the universe to countless medical breakthroughs. It has also bolstered research universities that remain the envy of the world. Even the best system, however, tends to lapse into bureaucratic inertia if it is not regularly updated. American sci- ence funding is no exception. Researchers spend more than 40 per- cent of their time on paperwork. Fund- ing agencies reward safe, incremental work over higher-risk projects that could lead to breakthroughs or noth- ing. And younger scientists, when they are most likely to do truly disruptive work, wait longer than ever to receive their fi rst major grants. Kratsios’s report calls for making sci- ence funding itself more experimental by using prizes, rapid grants, advance market commitments and other tools that reward results. He envisions fund- ing dif erent types of organizations. One example is the National Science Foundation’s recently launched X-Labs program, which aims to empower mul- tidisciplinary teams at independent re- search organizations. Most intriguingly, he proposes ap- plying the scientifi c method to science funding itself, rigorously testing and evaluating funding mechanisms in a process of continual improvement. But none of this will matter much if the administration keeps undermining the very ecosystem that produces scien- tifi c discovery. The most obvious confl ict with the vision outlined in the report is the administration’s wielding of research grants as a cudgel in its larger war on higher education. A scientifi c research project is a major commitment of time, ef ort and funds. Creating uncertainty over funding makes it less appealing and risks playing havoc with ongoing experiments, which cannot be turned on and of like a light switch. Interrupted funding can destroy years of work, scatter research teams and delay discoveries. Immigration policy is the less obvi- ous but equally important problem. President Donald Trump’s policies are deterring students and scientists from coming to America for work. The Krat- sios document is right to want to ex- pand funding into private-sector labs, where much research and development now happens. But America’s comparative advan- tage isn’t spending money. It’s that the United States has historically been a magnet for the world’s best talent. Chi- na has four times the U.S. population, but America has not previously allowed itself to be limited by its borders. Those with a cramped mindset of scarcity see those immigrants as hav- ing stolen jobs and academic slots from U.S. citizens. The Kratsios report falls in line with this zero-sum mentality, complaining that the infl ux of foreign talent “sidelines American students.” But innovation is the opposite of zero sum. The people who come here to work, think and build wind up creating more opportunities for Americans. They un- lock new ideas, new business possibili- ties and greater shared prosperity. They drive innovation sectors that can draw more people into science and technol- ogy, while also making it possible for America to remain at the forefront of the technology frontier. Bureaucratic reform can make Amer- ican science more productive. But no grant-making system, however inge- nious, can compensate for driving away talent or destabilizing the institutions where discovery happens. If the ad- ministration truly wants an innova- tion boom, it must align the rest of its policies with the vision outlined in the Kratsios report. MANDEL NGAN/AFP/GETTY IMAGES Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Of ce of Science and Technology Policy, in the Oval Of ce on July 24. D.C. has a serious problem with city workers going AWOL T HE D.C. GOVERNMENT spent almost $220 million last fi scal year on overtime for 911 dis- patchers, corrections of cers, police, fi refi ghters and EMTs. The presumed solution to the costly and inef cient overreliance on OT has been to simply hire more employees at public safety agencies. But a recent audit reveals another major driver of overtime costs: A shocking number of city workers routinely don’t show up for work. About a third of the hours worked by correctional of cers in the 2025 fi s- cal year were overtime, which means they get paid time and a half. Part of this is because the jail is understaf ed. But corrections of cers also took some form of leave for an average of between 10 to 12 weeks over the course of the year, according to the audit, including 2.4 weeks of being away without leave. Improving attendance by punishing unexcused absences and unscheduled comp time would save millions for the taxpayers. “Reducing excessive time employees spend away from work can be another critical strategy to address overtime without the added costs of additional hiring,” says a report re- leased by D.C. Auditor Kathleen Pat- terson. Attendance has been a serious prob- lem for years at the Of ce of Unifi ed Communications, which handles 311 and 911 calls. The average emergency dispatcher was absent without leave for one full week last year and took leave for 11 weeks. Two Augusts ago, the agency emailed all employees to of er an $800 monthly bonus just for showing up to all their scheduled shifts. That would add up to almost $10,000 annually per employee. Apparently the incentives aren’t working. Personnel costs are, by far, the most expensive part of the District’s ballooning budget. Because of pub- lic-sector employee unions, jettison- ing failing bureaucrats has become exceedingly onerous. D.C. government employees are represented by 15 in- ternational unions, 48 locals and 114 collective bargaining units. The D.C. Council passed a nearly $22 billion budget for fi scal year 2027. It will go into ef ect without the sig- nature of outgoing Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), who said last week that it irresponsibly uses one-time funding to pay for recurring programs and draws too much from the rainy day fund. What’s happening in D.C. under- scores how spending more money does not necessarily improve the qual- ity of public services. Government is not a jobs program, and going AWOL is a dereliction of duty. It shouldn’t take a bonus to clock in. That’s what the paycheck is for.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 • THE WASHINGTON POST A15 EZ RE OPINION Here’s the government’s survival plan in a catastrophic biological attack BY ANNIE JACOBSEN B iological warfare is illegal. Biological weap- ons have been illegal since the Biological Weapons Convention took ef ect in 1975. The international treaty prohibits the devel- opment, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpil- ing and use of biological and toxin weapons. Yet the State Department knows that in coun- tries party to the convention, there exist biological weapons programs. Such weapons include geneti- cally modifi ed organisms engineered for hypervir- ulence, human-to-human transmission and high lethality — and which have no known cure. The release, deliberate or accidental, of such a patho- gen could trigger a global pandemic, mass death, widespread insurrection and ultimately societal breakdown. When I began reporting for a book about biologi- cal warfare a few years ago, I wanted to understand how the government plans to stop a catastrophic biological attack. Instead, I discovered it rehearses a survival plan to protect itself in a worst-case sce- nario. This plan is called Devolution. Retired Air Force Col. Thomas Ehrhard, who designed biological and nuclear war games for the Pentagon, put it to me bluntly: “There is no real homeland defense against a large-scale biological attack, only things you can do to mitigate extermi- nation.” Most Americans have never heard of the plan. Operational details remain classifi ed; the plan’s existence is not. Devolution involves the secret transfer of power to backup leaders and hidden command centers to ensure the government keeps running, even as the nation’s infrastructure col- lapses and hundreds of millions of American citi- zens die. Former Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator W. Craig Fugate, who signed of the Devolution program on the last day of the Obama administration, described it to me as the civilian counterpart to military continuity planning. “Ev- eryone’s familiar with Defcon,” Fugate explains, referring to the armed forces’ Defense Readiness Condition, a fi ve- level alert system with level one indicating a worst- case scenario. “Defcon is for the military. Cogcon is for civilians.” Cogcon stands for Continuity of Government Readiness Condi- tion. “Defcon 1 means we’re at war, like nuclear war,” Fugate says. “Cogcon 1 means you send your Devolution crews out, spread leadership across the country.” Those selected for Devolution leadership roles know who they are. They have signed documents and completed training. They go about their daily lives knowing they can be called into service at any moment, required to leave immediately, with the responsibility for preserving the republic suddenly resting on their shoulders — individuals among us who always have a go bag waiting in the trunk of their car. In the aftermath of a catastrophic event, not ev- eryone can be saved. But, Fugate says, the govern- ment must “continue to function in a lawful man- ner.” For decades, Continuity of Government plan- ning centered around surviving nuclear war. Today, modifi ed pathogens have become more threaten- ing, for alarming reasons. Unlike nuclear weapons, which require tightly controlled fi ssile material, biological weapons have a low barrier to entry. They can be engineered by someone with mini- mal training, using tools increasingly accessible and widely available, including with AI-enabled systems. Whereas nuclear weapons and their de- livery systems remain in the custody of a nation’s military forces, biological weapons can be devel- oped far from the safeguards, scrutiny and chain of command that surround a nuclear arsenal. For this reason, in unclassifi ed training doctrine the Pentagon lists nuclear weapons as most dangerous, while a “contagious biological pathogen” poses the “greatest threat.” Were a biological weapon to be released in Amer- ica, Ehrhard told me, “trust will collapse. Fear will govern. The line between order and anarchy is thin.” Former senate majority leader Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) understands this threat in un- usually personal terms. His Senate of ce was tar- geted during the 2001 anthrax attacks. The result of a major biological attack will be “death physi- cally. Death governmentally. Death in virtually ev- ery context,” Daschle said. “People doing inhuman things, just to survive.” Continuity planning is prudent but cannot be a substitute for prevention. Before 1990, the United States operated only two Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) laboratories: one military, at Fort Detrick in Mary- land, and one civilian, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Georgia. Following the anthrax attacks in 2001, numbers surged. Dozens, then hundreds, then more than 1,000 high- and maximum-containment biosecurity labs were built, each with the stated goal of conducting defensive research. As of 2025, there are more than 1,600 BSL-3 and 17 BSL-4 labs in the U.S., functional or in construction. But a lab accident is as viable a threat as an intentional release, as made clear by planning doctrine, which plans for the catastrophe of a “bio- logical incident” rather than only for attacks. The U.S. is not the only nation conducting danger- ous pathogen research. A global survey published in 2025 identifi ed 110 BSL-4 labs in 34 countries and 3,515 BSL-3 labs across 149 countries, possi- bly more. The authors of this study note, “91.6% of countries with at least one BSL-3 laboratory lack guidelines for dual- use research of concern.” The same seriousness devoted to rehearsing Devolution should be devoted to stronger biosafe- ty standards, more rigorous oversight of danger- ous pathogen research and sustained investment in public health awareness before, not after, a ca- tastrophe. The public deserves more than a govern- ment continuity plan. No one wants to wake up to a city besieged by a genetically modifi ed pathogen — or learn about Cogcon 1 and Devolution on the fl y.

Trump’s nuclear demands might push the Saudis toward China BY ALI SHIHABI L ast week, the United States and Saudi Arabia appeared to have resolved one of the most complicated issues that they had been working on for nearly a decade. On July 22, their energy ministers signed a nuclear cooperation agreement that would give Amer- ican companies a central role in building the kingdom’s civilian nuclear industry. Within a day, however, President Donald Trump suddenly added two new conditions: Saudi Arabia must join the Abraham Accords between Israel and several Arab countries, and there would be no enrichment of nuclear mate- rial inside the kingdom. That intervention satisfi es some domestic political constituencies, but it risks defeating America’s strategic purpose. If Washington makes nuclear cooperation conditional on un- related political concessions and a permanent Saudi surrender of its fuel-cycle ambitions, Ri- yadh will not necessarily abandon nuclear pow- er. It may simply seek a partner that asks fewer questions: China. Saudi Arabia has legitimate reasons to de- velop nuclear energy. Its population and econ- omy are growing; electricity demand is rising; desalination consumes enormous quantities of energy; and every barrel of oil not needed for domestic power generation can be exported. The kingdom also possesses uranium resources and naturally wants to develop the technical exper- tise and industrial value chain associated with them. None of this amounts to a decision to build a nuclear weapon. Washington nevertheless treats Saudi enrich- ment as a privilege America can grant or with- hold. That overestimates American leverage. The U.S. remains the most attractive partner because of its technology, fi nancing, safety cul- ture and political relationship with Riyadh. But it is no longer the only credible supplier. China has built a large domestic reactor fl eet, exports nuclear technology, fi nances infrastructure pa- tiently and rarely attaches demands concerning another country’s foreign policy. Beijing and Riyadh already have a foundation on which to build. China National Nuclear Cor- poration has cooperated with Saudi institutions on uranium and thorium exploration, uranium extraction and prospective nuclear projects. A Chinese of er would not be conditioned on Saudi recognition of Israel. Nor is Beijing likely to demand the “gold standard” prohibition on domestic enrichment that Washington has long sought. China would still have international nonpro- liferation obligations, and any Saudi program should remain under International Atomic En- ergy Agency safeguards. But that is precisely the point: The realistic choice is not between an American-designed program with perfect re- strictions and no Saudi program at all. It is be- tween an American partnership with exception- al visibility and infl uence, and an alternative partnership in which Washington has neither. Linking the nuclear agreement to the Abra- ham Accords is particularly counterproductive. Saudi Arabia has repeatedly made clear that normalization with Israel requires a credible pathway toward Palestinian statehood. What- ever one thinks of that position, it cannot be erased by attaching Israel to an agreement ad- dressing reactors, electricity and nuclear fuel. Attempting to obtain through nuclear leverage what diplomacy has not achieved will appear less like partnership than coercion. The enrichment question requires more care, but not an absolute prohibition. Enrichment is dual-use technology. At low levels it produces reactor fuel; at high levels it can contribute to a weapon. That risk is real. The answer should be an arrangement that makes diversion extraor- dinarily dif cult — strict limits on enrichment levels and quantities, continuous monitoring, intrusive inspections, remote surveillance and multinational management. Such an arrangement would give Washington far more security than driving the entire Saudi fuel cycle into Chinese hands. American partic- ipation would shape reactor selection, training, cybersecurity, physical protection, waste man- agement and safeguards for decades. It would bind Saudi and American institutions together and give Congress continuing visibility into the program. Walking away would sacrifi ce all that infl uence while doing little to extinguish Saudi ambitions. There is also a wider geopolitical cost. Wash- ington regularly warns Gulf partners against becoming technologically dependent on China. It cannot then close the American door when- ever those partners decline to subordinate their national priorities to American domestic poli- tics. Alliances do not survive when every fi eld of cooperation becomes leverage for a separate demand. Saudi Arabia would prefer an American nu- clear partnership. Its security architecture, in- vestment ties and military relationship remain deeply connected to the United States — as demonstrated just this week by their joint at- tack on Iran-backed militias in Iraq. But prefer- ence should not be confused with dependence. A kingdom determined to acquire civilian nuclear power has alternatives, and China will happily convert American infl exibility into Chinese stra- tegic infl uence. Trump prides himself on dealmaking. The es- sence of a durable deal is distinguishing indis- pensable safeguards from conditions that mere- ly satisfy one party. Preventing proliferation is indispensable. Compelling normalization with Israel through a nuclear contract is not. America’s safest course is to keep the king- dom’s program inside a rigorous American-led framework. Conditions that Riyadh cannot ac- cept will not stop its nuclear development. They will only determine who builds it. Ali Shihabi is a Saudi author and commentator. MEGAN MCARDLE America doesn’t need an investigation over Fauci’s diary I’ m sure it is unpleasant to have your pri- vate diary made public, which is why I don’t keep one. Anthony S. Fauci was not so circumspect, and worse still, he kept his personal notes on a government computer. Their release last week by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), ahead of scheduled Senate testimony, has embar- rassed Fauci and revived old resentments. Many entries seem almost purposely crafted to infl ame every lingering conservative grievance over the pandemic. Fauci, who helped lead the U.S. response to covid-19, records many laudatory interactions with famous and infl uential liberals. He details behind- the-scenes maneuvering over restrictive covid poli- cies. Oh, and he describes meetings where eminent experts deemed a lab-leak origin for covid possible. When called in front of the Senate to address all this, Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment. The best explanation for this is that he feared a perjury trap. That said, law professor Michael Dorf argues persuasively that Fauci was not entitled to do so, because of the sweeping pardon he was given by President Joe Biden. Some of it paints a picture that bears a striking resemblance to the conserva- tive image of the liberal establishment: a cozy and insular elite that manufactures consensus behind closed doors, ignores or conceals inconvenient facts, and haughtily dispenses the party line as a scientifi c fact, rather than a contestable opinion. One might protest that this image is a caricature, and, well, yes. Fauci does not really come across as the cartoon villain some conservatives imagine. But then caricatures are usually exaggerations of reality, not pure imagination. Washington insiders are a cozy little community. (They almost have to be, because the city’s not that big.) They can get a little intoxicated with proximity to power and infl uence. And many of the powerful and infl uen- tial really did become dogmatic on all things pan- demic, from the origins of the virus to the merits of public gatherings to the benefi ts of mandatory vaccination. When challenged, instead of debating their beliefs, many denounced their challengers as bigots and fools. This would be bad in any case, but it is particu- larly enraging because the experts made so many mistakes. The Centers for Disease Control and Pre- vention screwed up testing, allowing the virus to spread undetected. Experts told us masks didn’t work right up to the point where they told us masks were mandatory. Schools stayed closed even though they’d been opened successfully in Europe. There has never been an adequate reckoning with those mistakes, and I can’t blame conserva- tives for wanting one, even if I think that releasing a man’s personal notes goes too far. What is gained by embarrassing Fauci over his starstruck diary entries? Sure, conservatives get to feel vindicated, and Paul gets fodder for his next campaign. But while it’s of genuine importance to know how Fauci was thinking about lab leaks versus natural origin, releasing entries in which he muses on his celebrity contacts adds nothing to the history of the pandemic and makes it easier for Fauci’s supporters to dismiss this as a partisan witch hunt. This dynamic is why, six years after the pandem- ic began, the nation still hasn’t had the kind of sys- tematic, nonpartisan and nonpunitive investiga- tion it needs. Nor has it embarked on reforms that might keep institutional failures from happening again. Instead, one side seems to hope the public can just forget it happened, while the other mostly seems interested in venting its spleen. What the country needs is a less confrontation- al approach that is not about assigning blame but about fi guring out what went wrong. That won’t sit right with many conservatives, who argue that what went wrong was bad people doing a bad job. The problem is, those folks be- lieved — and still believe — that they were doing the best thing for the country. Sure, they might ad- mit they garbled some details early on. Yes, may- be the scientists were a little too eager to assert that their beloved labs couldn’t possibly be the outbreak’s source. Maybe the experts should have been clearer about the uncertainties, on that and many other issues. But they were doing the best they could in an unprecedented disaster. You can protest that this is self-serving, and of course it is. But then, when are humans not self-serving, prone to confi rmation bias and group- think, or dazzled by the lure of insider status? Fo- cusing on the individuals sets us up to make the same mistakes, because their successors will also be prone to those common failings. Rather, we need systems that are robust enough to function with the fl awed human material available — that is, unless you happen to have a reserve stash of angels ready to take on the job. Fixing the system starts with determining exact- ly what went wrong, and your best source of in- formation is, obviously, the decision-makers who may have made terrible decisions under pressure. If you are bent on punishing them, those people will, like Fauci, quite rationally clam up. I can’t blame him for refusing to risk a perju- ry charge, any more than I can blame conserva- tives for still being mad. That’s the problem with the blame game: There’s more than enough to go around … and around … and around. We keep trav- eling in circles. Nothing changes, and nobody wins.

THE WASHINGTON POST • MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026 A16 EZ RE President Donald Trump, who said he watched the “whole thing,” criticized Fauci after the hearing but sidestepped ques- tions about whether he should be prosecuted. The ef ort has exposed the dif- fi culty of settling, six years later, the bitter disputes that made Fauci one of the pandemic’s most polarizing fi gures. Paul and other Republicans say newly ob- tained records have raised fresh questions about Fauci’s conduct. Several senators accused him of misleading Americans during the coronavirus pandemic and pressed him on whether he en- gaged in a cover-up of the virus’s potential origins. But some of the central alle- gations have been investigated before, and even some Republi- cans involved in those inquiries question how much the new ma- terial adds. Fauci denies claims of a cover-up, and his allies say he is stuck in a Kafkaesque nightmare. Their fears were ac- centuated after a former Fauci aide was arrested in April after he privately bragged about con- cealing emails. The pressure on Fauci, 85, is intensifying. More lawmak- ers are preparing to challenge him. Paparazzi lurk outside his door, and death threats persist. Clips of Fauci refusing to answer questions have become memes, sparking jokes on ESPN and mockery in conservative media. The scrutiny recalls the darkest days of the pandemic — except now, rather than the govern- ment marshaling its resources to defend Fauci, he is paying for his own security. Paul’s committee is set to vote Wednesday on whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress, a measure expected to pass with Republican support. Paul has said they will immediately refer the matter to the Justice Depart- ment for prosecution. “I think he’ll be remembered more like a mafi a don than a great scientist,” Paul, the chair- man of the Senate’s government oversight committee, told pod- caster Benny Johnson after last week’s hearing. Peter Staley, a former adver- sary turned longtime friend, said Fauci is trying to stick to his routine, taking power walks with his wife and seeing patients at Georgetown University’s hos- pital. “He’s not crumbling,” Staley said, invoking “Brooklyn tough,” an expression he said Fauci of- ten uses. “I’m worried for his safety. I’m not worried for his mental state.” This story is drawn from in- terviews with 17 friends, critics and former colleagues of Fauci, as well as current administra- tion of cials, lawmakers and congressional aides. Through a spokesman, Fauci declined to comment. Fauci, who led the Nation- al Institutes of Health’s infec- tious-disease work, emerged from the covid-19 pandemic as the face of the government’s response. That perch gave him access to elite social circles, won him accolades and made him a worldwide celebrity — fame that has carried a bitter aftertaste. He has since been blamed for myriad pandemic-related pol- icies, including decisions that others made but he amplifi ed, such as the CDC’s recommen- dation to stay six feet apart to minimize virus risks. Activists and lawmakers have said they want to hold Fauci accountable for students’ learning loss, work- ers’ lost jobs and other harms resulting from covid-related shutdowns. Some past colleagues have been happy to see Fauci face dif cult questions. Several said that his diary shows that Fauci — who details his interactions with reporters and celebrities — was too seduced by his media coverage. They also criticized his ef orts to work with NIH grant- ees to be nominated for prizes, which were detailed in another batch of documents released by Paul. “This is the Fauci I knew be- ing exposed to the world,” said Chris Meekins, who served as a senior health of cial in the fi rst Trump administration, and bat- tled with Fauci about vaccine and funding priorities before the pandemic. Others say Paul and his allies are only seeking to embarrass and damage Fauci after years of battling with him, often in con- tentious showdowns in the Sen- ate. Paul has contended that last week’s hearing was part of his investigation into the pandem- ic’s origins, including whether Fauci tried to conceal a possible laboratory leak that may have sparked the outbreak. “We learned nothing from that hearing,” said Ashish Jha, who led the nation’s covid response under Biden and worked close- ly with Fauci. “Nothing about the important issues. Nothing about how to prevent the next pandemic. And this kind of vil- ifi cation will scare people away from public service.” Paul has also said that Fauci’s diary has produced new revela- tions about his shifting thoughts on the virus’s origins and risks. But the diary generally hews closely to Fauci’s 2024 memoir, “On Call,” and his other past in- terviews and testimony. Fauci also sat for 21 hours of interviews with a GOP-led sub- committee in 2024, where he discussed the possible origins of the coronavirus, his private con- versations about whether a labo- ratory leak sparked the outbreak, and other controversial matters. The subcommittee pressed Fauci on whether his agency had inad- vertently sparked the pandemic by funding risky coronavirus re- search in China, a claim he has persistently denied. “The journal should have been produced back in 2023 but sitting here in 2026 I am not sure what the entries add to the debate,” Mitch Benzine, who was the GOP subcommittee’s staf director and led the question- ing of Fauci, wrote in an email. “Some of the information is new and does add color to Dr. Fauci’s thoughts through the pandemic, but the fi ndings are no dif erent than what we found years ago.” The subcommittee’s investi- gation led to one of Fauci’s for- mer aides being arrested earlier this year, an event referenced by Paul and seen as a potential harbinger for Fauci. Justice De- partment of cials say David M. Morens skirted public records laws and hid his communica- tions to thwart inquiries into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Fauci has distanced himself from Morens, saying he knew nothing about his actions. Marc Short, who served as Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staf , clashed with Fauci over covid restrictions in 2020 and felt the doctor’s advice was frequently wrong. But Short said Fauci’s role in the early corona- virus response is now being dis- torted, noting that local leaders had signifi cant leeway over how and when to reopen schools and businesses under the Trump administration’s “federalist” ap- proach. “He’s been made a scapegoat for public health of cials who made the wrong decisions,” Short said, recalling a 2020 con- versation in which the doctor laid out their dif erent responsi- bilities. “‘My job is to tell people how not to get infected. It’s your job to consider all the other factors,’” Short recalled Fauci saying. Fauci was a prominent Wash- ington fi gure, if not a household name, during his nearly four decades leading NIH’s infec- tious-disease institute. He was repeatedly summoned to the White House to advise presi- dents about how to handle virus outbreaks and held up as a mod- el for generations of scientists. Fauci attracted national atten- tion in the 1980s for his work on HIV/AIDS, which initially drew fi re from activists such as Staley, who protested outside his of ce — with mock cof ns and an ef - gy of Fauci — castigating him as a bureaucrat who was doing too little to save lives. But Fauci won over those crit- ics, convincing them of his sin- cerity. He also rose in esteem, with scientists and politicians — including many prominent Republicans — touting him as an example of what government could accomplish. Asked in a 1988 presidential debate to name an inspiring hero, Vice President George H.W. Bush singled out Fauci for his work fi ghting AIDS. Twenty years later, Bush’s son, President George W. Bush, awarded Fauci the Medal of Freedom for his work as an architect of PEPFAR, a worldwide AIDS relief pro- gram credited with saving tens of millions of lives. Entering 2020, Fauci had kept a diary on his work computer for years — a nightly ritual in which he tracked his day, his dealings and his media appearances as material for a planned memoir, allies said. Then came the coronavirus, which would kill millions around the world, and transform Fauci’s life. He emerged as the govern- ment’s spokesperson across two administrations, initially hailed by Republicans as well as Dem- ocrats and seen as a reassuring fi gure. Trump bestowed one of his highest compliments: Fauci was good on TV. But as the pandemic stretched on, Fauci’s pessimism and en- couragement of strict measures rankled Trump and other ad- ministration of cials. Parents grew frustrated with school shutdowns. Conservative media increasingly turned on the doc- tor, and by late 2020, Trump was entertaining chants of “Fire Fau- ci” at campaign rallies. “I didn’t mind him, I didn’t fi nd him to be bad personally, as a person,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” last week. “But I didn’t agree with what he was saying or what he was doing.” Still, Trump awarded Fauci a commendation for his work on Operation Warp Speed, the pres- ident’s successful initiative to accelerate development of coro- navirus vaccines, before leaving of ce in January 2021. The incoming Biden admin- istration, meanwhile, elevated Fauci as President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser — a politi- cal job for the longtime civil ser- vant. Fauci had signifi cant sway over that administration’s coro- navirus policies and personnel. He left government at the end of 2022, wary of looming GOP investigations, and with dwin- dling popularity. “It is clear that even with Pro bono considerations that this is going to cost me a lot of money since the GOP has promised that they would make my life miser- able and blame me for virtually everything that happened bad to the country during the pandem- ic,” Fauci wrote in his diary in November 2022. A few months later, Biden is- sued Fauci a preemptive pardon on his fi nal day in of ce. That af- ternoon, Trump returned to the presidency and swiftly elevated some of Fauci’s critics to key government positions. Kennedy, who wrote a book about Fauci that the doctor con- sidered slanderous, runs the health department. Jay Bhat- tacharya, whom Fauci dismissed as a stooge in his diary, now runs NIH. Some of Fauci’s adver- saries, such as Trump’s econom- ic adviser Peter Navarro, also rejoined the White House and other agencies. Trump has said he will not challenge Biden’s pardon of Fau- ci, but the doctor still faces legal peril. The pardon does not cover events after it was issued on Jan. 20, 2025, and Fauci and his al- lies worried that if he misspoke at any point to Paul’s panel, he would face perjury charges — a concern that triggered his invo- cations of the Fifth Amendment. And while Biden’s pardon pro- tects Fauci from federal crimi- nal investigations into his time involved in the nation’s corona- virus response, it did not rule out state prosecution. Florida’s attorney general last week an- nounced a new investigation into Fauci. Benzine, the former House GOP staf er, said he expects Paul’s committee to fi nd Fauci in contempt this week. “What comes next is unclear,” Benzine wrote in an email. “What is clear, is that this is not over for Dr. Fauci.” Many Americans have moved on from the depths of the pan- demic. Fauci’s neighborhood was once dotted with signs read- ing, “Thank you Dr. Fauci.” They have long been taken down, and none were newly visible the day after last week’s hearing.

She said it was “weird” that the restaurant was still selling food with lettuce on it after greens served at the chain were linked to the cyclosporiasis outbreak that has sickened thousands of Amer- icans. “Maybe I should pick the let- tuce off my food,” she said with a nervous laugh. Her uncertainty lingered in the air like the scent of ground beef and onions as the lunch rush continued around her. Despite the headlines and a months-long stretch without vis- iting the chain, Gonzalez wasn’t initially worried when she stopped there for lunch after her sister said she “wanted some- thing that was good” while they were out running errands with a close friend. “I heard they switched con- tributors, so I’m not worried about it.

Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Too $hort is helping usher hip-hop into what he calls its senior citizen era. Just don’t expect him to rap like one. The Oakland hip-hop pioneer, 60, is still recording, touring and talking slick more than four de- cades after he began selling homemade tapes on the streets of the Bay Area. While the genre has long treated aging like an unwrit- ten career-ending offense, Too $hort is breaking the rule and challenging the culture’s elder statesmen to keep going with him. His latest proof is “Sir Too $hort Vol. 2: Drink & Smoke,” his 23rd studio album, produced en- tirely by longtime collaborator Lil Jon. It arrived Friday, exactly 20 years after the release of his enduring hit “Blow the Whistle.” Too $hort, whose catalogue also includes classics like “The Ghetto” and “Shake That Mon- key,” says he isn’t interested in slowing down anytime soon. That was certainly evident when he and E-40 performed at the NFL Honors in February. In an interview with the Asso- ciated Press, Too $hort reflected on turning 60, challenging hip- hop’s age limits, preserving the legacy of Lil Jon’s late son, DJ Young Slade, the staying power of “Blow the Whistle” and why he has no plans to stop until “the wheels fall off.” This interview has been edited for length and clarity. see Q&A on B3 Q&A At 60, Too $hort has no plans of slowing down Jae C.

BY ASHLEY FETTERS MALOY Lori Massaro’s appreciation for clothes is obvious: She teaches fashion business management at the Fashion Institute of Technology. But when Massaro, also a mother of four, ventures into her 19-year-old’s closet at their family home on Long Island, even she’s a little baffled. “My kid has a million hoodies,” Massaro says. Like a lot of teens and young adults on the East Coast, Massaro’s son loves hoodies from the prep-school-adja- cent lifestyle brand GOAT USA. For Christmas, he asked for a Carhartt. Visiting college campuses a few years back, “every college we visited, he would want a hoodie,” Massaro says. “I was like, ‘I don’t even think you’re getting into this school.’” Then there were the high school lacrosse fundraiser hoodies and the football-team hoodies, only some of which were displaced by University of Delaware hoodies when he started college last year. “I just went on a trip to the Catskills with my family to a resort called Sunny Hill. It’s nothing special. But oh, we gotta get a hoodie for Sunny Hill,” Massaro says with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me!?’” In decades past, hooded sweatshirts have been saddled with capital-M meaning. They’ve alternately served as avatars for athletes, hackers and tech billionaires; they’ve been caught in the middle of tense dialogues around stereotypes and racialized violence in America. For kids, teens and young adults across the United States today, though, this is all ancient history. Hoodies are the new T-shirts: a component of an everyday default outfit, available in every color and at every price level, acquired myriad ways with no limit to how many one person might own. But because a hoodie takes up considerably more space than a tee, kids’ collections are accumulating at a rate that’s exhausting their storage options — and exasperating their parents.

B2 EZ RE the washington post . monday, august 3, 2026 threw away fresh green beans after feeling unsure she could cook them to a high enough temperature. These fears are no doubt fu- eled in part by a social media algorithm rife with the unescap- able phrase “explosive diarrhea,” not to mention the sheer scale of the outbreak and people’s reac- tions to it. Which is what made the scene on a Tuesday afternoon at the Chinatown Taco Bell shocking. Business was booming. That may not necessarily surprise Taco Bell executives, who in an earnings call Thursday for parent compa- ny Yum! cited “an increase in positivity and brand love” among loyal fans and noted that sales over the previous four days were “halfway back to sales levels of the prior year.” (Taco Bell’s same- store sales are, however, down 2 percent so far in the July-Sep- tember period, the company said.) Apparently it will take a lot more for people to give up their Crunchwrap Supremes. At the small Chinatown loca- tion, the ordering kiosks were full, and nearly all the tables were occupied. Customers ate lunch with co-workers, chatted over meals and scrolled through their phones. Everything ap- peared so … normal. Eating Taco Bell is some peo- ple’s worst nightmare right now, and yet the chain has been run- ning frequent promotions. One Washington Post staffer even re- ceived a push notification from Venmo: “Want Taco Bell? See you at checkout.” She politely de- clined. They were promoting $1 Enchiritos through the mobile app and $1 Mexican pizzas for one day, menu items that are TACO BELL from B1 lettuce-free. Coincidence? We don’t think so. Mariam Muradyan caved for the Mexican pizza deal after seeing an ad on TikTok and recruited her co-worker, Kristie Saieh, to partake. While Saieh stuffed sauce packets into her bag, she said she was unconcerned, especially af- ter having experienced covid. She was even less bothered because “TikTok is making jokes about it,” even if they were cringeworthy comments about wanting to lose weight. “I’m a little more worried than she is,” Muradyan admitted, but she wasn’t too anxious about her irresistibly priced order. As she waited for her food, Muradyan said people should simply pay attention to what they are consuming. Then her order was ready. “I don’t think it is something to freak out about. It is just something to be aware of,” Mura- dyan said before departing with her $1 meal. It was clear that plenty of similarly brave souls continue to long for Taco Bell’s food and prices. Toward the end of lunch- time, employees continuously shouted out order names, and the doors kept swinging open. Matthew Monfore was among the unfazed diners, quietly scroll- ing through his phone with an empty Luxe Cravings Box in front of him. He is a regular at the China- town Taco Bell since he works nearby. He said he’d been coming almost every day for the past month. Monfore hadn’t done much research on cyclosporiasis but said he’d mostly heard “political back-and-forth.” He said he wasn’t concerned and would con- tinue to stick with his routine. “It’s not a perfect system. It’s certainly better than it was hun- dreds of years ago. I eat here almost every day, and I’ve never gotten sick.” This sentiment is popular among Taco Bell fans on social media, which the company hasn’t been shy about embrac- ing. Monfore’s bottom line: Out- breaks like this happen, no food chain is immune, and he simply doesn’t care when it comes to his Taco Bell loyalty. “It’s fast, it’s cheap, and there’s free refills.” It will take more than a parasitic outbreak to keep these fans from Taco Bell Maxine Wallace/The Washington Post Business was brisk at the Taco Bell Cantina in Washington’s Chinatown neighborhood last week, despite the cyclosporiasis outbreak. and content creator in Reading, Massachusetts. Like Massaro, she too sometimes has to exhume her furniture and belongings from be- neath piles of discarded hoodies. Two of her four kids are already obsessed, and with her 14-year-old starting high school this fall, she says, “I have a feeling we’ll be in the market for more hoodies by midyear.” Pierce recently repurposed an over-the-door shoe storage orga- nizer to hold her 16-year-old daughter’s folded-up hoodies. “It really has been a great storage solution,” she says. “Everything is visible.” When Pierce recommend- ed the mesh organizer on her LTK page (a platform for content cre- ators to earn a commission by directing shoppers toward the products they endorse), the rec- ommendation became one of her top-performing affiliate links of the past few years. Henry and Gemma Bifulco, 12 and 14 respectively, own a few dozen sweatshirts between them at their home in Boise, Idaho. The holy grails of Henry’s collection are a navy University of Michigan one and a black Denim Tears with a floral pattern, while Gemma loves the intricate, festive-looking designs of Dandy Worldwide. Piper Aceto, 19, wears hoodies nearly every day when the weath- er gets cool enough. She even wrote her college application es- say about the well-loved gray hooded zip-up that she shrouded herself in daily in high school, then eventually shed like a butter- fly’s cocoon. “I found a lot of, like, emotional support in it,” Aceto says, “then eventually, I realized I had to kind of fight my own bat- tles.” Aceto, now a sophomore psy- chology and neuroscience student at the University of Florida, still owns somewhere between 30 and 40 hoodies — but in a range of brighter colors and zestier de- signs. Luckily for Piper, Henry and Gemma (and their sweatshirt col- lections), they all have moms who organize rooms and closets for a living. Heather Bifulco, Henry and Gemma’s mother and the owner of the Boise-based home-organizing business Tidy Style, hears all the time from parents whose chil- dren’s hoodie collections are ex- ploding out of their closets, who are “feeling frustration because hoodies are ending up in a pile on their kids’ floor.” She recommends tucking hoods into the neck opening of each garment when they’re hang- ing, for a streamlined and space- saving effect, or using multiple over-the-door hooks and hanging multiple hoodies on each one. “You can easily store 20 hoodies on one door,” she says. Elise Wiley, Piper’s mother, is the founder of the dorm-design HOODIES from B1 studio Dorm Luv, and she also helps manage the Facebook group Dorm Room Mamas — a 437,000- member forum for parents look- ing to help their kids transition to living on their own at school. There, the hoodie issue is a com- mon one: Wiley and Dorm Room Mamas founder Amber Wimberly have recommended storage otto- mans, hanging fabric shelves and collapsible fabric dressers, as well as just keeping a small number of hoodies at school, swapping them out every so often with those kept in storage at home. Of course, not every kid is con- tent to have only a handful of hoodie options at their disposal. “To move my son out, we had to get the vacuum-shrink bags. We stuffed them with the hoodies and then sucked all the air out,” Wim- berly remembers, amused. In 2026, kids’ hoodie collec- tions are burgeoning for a few different reasons. They’re a popu- lar event and activity souvenir; bar or bat mitzvah attendance might earn you a hoodie, for exam- ple. Pop Color Events, a party- planning business in Arlington, Virginia, specializes in mitzvah celebrations all over the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area. Kids tend to gravitate toward either edible souvenirs, drinkware (think Stanley Cups or logo’d wa- ter bottles) or clothing (pajama pants, T-shirts, hoodies) for their mitzvah guests, says Pop Color Events owner Brynne Magaziner. Of the families that choose wear- able souvenirs for guests (typically the higher-budget clients), “nine times out of 10 it’s a hoodie.” Broadly speaking, Gen Z and Gen Alpha are social media na- tives; they’ve grown up already familiar with the notion that ev- eryone needs a brand identity. Hoodies are much more likely than, say, a sweater or a button- down to advertise in bold type the name of a brand, a place, an insti- tution. So in a way, a hoodie collection can also “kind of represent your personal brand, so to speak,” says Massaro, the fashion professor. “Because it shows everywhere you’ve been, what you’re all about.” What teams you play on, where you go on vacation. And, of course, who you’re good enough friends with to score a bat mitzvah invite. The main thing that’s driving kids’ and young adults’ hoodie col- lections into the dozens, though, may just be a stronger emphasis on clothing comfort than in gener- ations past. That’s not just true for kids; we live in a time when young women wear luxury sneakers to the club and businessmen wear fancy quarter-zip sweatshirts to the of- fice. Teens used to communicate their superior access and taste through upscale polo shirts and designer jeans. Now, they flex on their peers with in-demand hood- ies. Fear of God Essentials, Pink Palm Puff, Parke, Scuffers, White Fox, GOAT USA, Dandy World- wide — all make sweatshirts that have become youth status sym- bols. GOAT’s $65 OG Hooded Sweatshirt style has outsold all its other offerings every year since it was introduced in 2017; Pink Palm Puff, whose Classic Puff hoodies go for $89, hosted a pop-up in Miami Beach earlier this year that drew 10,000 shoppers in a single day. Massaro has been teaching at the Fashion Institute of Technolo- gy for nearly three decades, and “when I first started, I would be so impressed at how the students would dress up for school,” she recalls. “They would really show how fashionable they were.” Some still do. “But the big change that I’ve seen is comfort dressing,” Massaro says. Now, even members of the faculty some- times come to campus in hoodies. The latest flex for teens? Sporting a hoodie high in demand. courtesy of GOAT USA Sweatshirts by brands such as GOAT USA, seen above, have become youth status symbols. GOAT’s popular “OG” hoodie retails for $65.

monday, august 3, 2026 . the washington post EZ RE B3 Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: We have a sibling in our family who was clearly one parent’s favorite and got far more than the rest of us, not only emotionally but materially. When Parent did this, Parent would rub it in our faces and then demand to know why we weren’t happier for Sib. It felt like emotional waterboarding. Sib also feels that need to share harsh and unkind observations, and is accustomed to having the rest of us “be the bigger person” or “let it go,” as we were brought up to do. After getting counseling (thank you, couple of excellent therapists), I’ve gotten better at calling it out. Your “wow” and “That was a really hurtful thing to say” help, too. A couple of years ago, though, Sib accused me of something that was not only unkind but also blatantly untrue. Sib had all the evidence to know this was not true but still accused me of going behind their back and plotting to hurt them. I was deeply hurt and massively offended that Sib would think I was capable of any of this, let alone fabricate that I’d actually done it. Sib, when asked to consider the facts, provided a cursory “I’m sorry if I hurt you” apology, followed by a lot of explanation that they were under stress so I couldn’t hold it against them. Sib then whined extensively to favoring parent that I wasn’t behaving warmly toward them. Parent tried to extract a promise that I’d work things out with Sib. I declined to make the promise. A year ago, favoring parent died. Sib now apparently wants to have a relationship with me but says, “I don’t ever want to talk about the past.” I just can’t do it on those terms. I think I’ve forgiven Sib — I understand that all the favoritism very much set them up to feel they were never wrong, and much of my anger is at Parent. But I also believe forgiveness is one thing but walking back up to the person and saying, “Thank you sir, please sir, may I have another,” is an entirely different matter. My rational mind knows this, but I still suspect I’m being horrifically unfair and unforgiving. How do I let go of the idea that it’s on me to make this right when I have zero trust or affection left? — Not Favored Not Favored: Wow. (It’s a versatile word.) I’m so sorry. You do sound remarkably clearheaded about what happened to you, though, so I have only few things to add. First, yes, you’re right that overt favoritism stunts the favorites; have you met many grounded, likable ones? It’s tough to feel any sympathy for the kid getting all the toys, but you’re a living reminder that the kids who get handed a crap sandwich every day instead tend to be motivated to get resourceful, get help and get the heck out. Still, some favorites do recover enough or develop enough self-awareness to see the harm and do the work, too, even to the point of apologizing to the unfavored siblings — so your sib is not without agency. Often it kicks in when they feel the costs of being spoiled. You want to hold your healthy boundaries for your own reasons, end of story … I’m just saying the unintended consequence of those boundaries could be the wake- up smack your sib feels from hitting that proverbial wall. It’s how all the best epiphanies start. Second, your rational mind has it right: Either you’re comfortable with the terms or there’s no reconciliation. “I’m open to a relationship, but honest dialogue is the only way forward for me. Let me know if you change your mind.” Let it be that simple. Third, your last sentence is residue from all the years of emotional cluckery, so just erase and ignore. Nothing about this hinges on responsibility or trust or affection anyway. You’re two adults of equal authority deciding what you’ll put up with. Therefore, it’s about the offer on the table, no more, no less. You aren’t okay with Sib’s terms, for reasons, so — you counter with terms you’ll accept, which Sib is free to accept or decline. Subtext, undercurrents and power games, RIP or rest in something. I hope it works out for you both. Write to Carolyn Hax at tellme@washpost.com.

Unsure how to mend broken sibling relationship after favoritism caused rift Carolyn Hax Illustration by Nick Galifianakis/for The Washington Post You recently turned 60, but you’re still releasing albums, touring and influencing the culture. When you first start- ed selling homemade tapes on the streets of Oakland, did you ever imagine you’d still be doing this more than four decades later? At the age of 14 or 15, my mentality was, “Let people hear this music. We’re going to rock some house parties and high school dances and sell some tapes to fans in the streets.” When I got my foot in the door, I knew this was going to be my job. It was always “till the wheels fall off.” It was never, “Let’s do this for 30 or 40 years.” I’ve always said the day hip- hop is no longer my job is probably the day I’ll stop. But the love I have for hip-hop won’t allow me to stop recording. I’ve never taken a long break. I’ve continuously been in the studio, continuously doing shows. I just keep it going because it’s my job. Why do you think you’ve remained relevant when so many careers have come and gone? I truly love making music. It’s never felt like work. I could have stopped after “Blow the Whistle” and been like, “Story told.” But somebody’s got to go out into these uncharted waters and blaze the trail. Look at E-40, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe and the other guys who kept going after the kids were grown and the grandkids were on the way. Who laid the rule down that in hip-hop you gotta stop at 40? Every milestone they said was old. First it was 30, then it was 40, then it was 50. Now we got senior citizen rappers, and this … Q&A from B1 is real. Hip-hop is entering the place where jazz, blues and R&B have older artists who are still per- forming and recording. We should too. Twenty years after its release, “Blow the Whistle” is still played everywhere from NBA arenas to the Olympics. Why do you think that record has endured? I don’t know if you could give me the ingredients and tell me how to do it again; I don’t think I could. It had to happen organi- cally. I give Lil Jon a lot of credit because he’s made a lot of songs we’ve loved since the day they came out. We make good music together, and that’s why I’m excited for people to hear what we’re still doing 30 years after we first worked together. This album reunites you with Lil Jon, but it also features work from his late son, Slade, who died in February. What did that collaboration mean to you? His son died after we finished recording. We had actually done about twice as many songs as ended up on this project. I saw how it affected Jon, and I had recently lost my brother, so I knew that feeling of loss. The whole time, Slade was producing or co-producing a lot of the tracks I was working on. The first thing that came to me was that I’d be more than proud to be part of his son’s legacy and give some- thing to the world that would help him live forever. Jon keeps saying, “Slade’s lega- cy,” and I’m just trying to be a part of that and show the world we lost another good, talented person. You and E-40 celebrated Bay Area hip-hop together during your 2020 Verzuz appear- ance. Fans still love seeing you two together. Would you ever team up again, whether for another Verzuz, a tour or something else We did one in 2020, but it wasn’t a battle. We had a good time. We did a lot of laughing, a lot of togetherness. I didn’t want to battle 40 then, and I don’t want to battle him now. That’s my best friend in hip-hop. I’d sign up for me and 40 against anybody. That’d be fun. They haven’t had two groups. … I put that out there: Who wants to battle Too $hort and E-40 in Verzuz? With his 23rd studio album, Too $hort is breaking the rules Jae C. Hong/Ap The Oakland hip-hop pioneer’s latest album, produced entirely by longtime collaborator Lil Jon, was released Friday. Dear Miss Manners: My son and daughter-in- law are expecting their first child. I broke the happy news to my best friend by telling her she would soon receive an invitation from them to their baby shower. Instead of being excited and congratulatory, she huffed and said that expectant mothers were not supposed to throw themselves a shower. She proceeded to give a long list of those who, by rules of etiquette, are allowed to throw baby showers. Well, apparently we broke two rules, because I’m hosting it at our house, which is also a no- no. In this day and age, I thought that it was appropriate for a couple to throw their own shower. Considering that my daughter-in-law is doing all the planning and paying the bulk of the expenses, I see no issue here. But my friend keeps telling me it’s uncouth, and that having men there only makes it worse. So I just wanted the opinion of an expert who is not still living in the 1950s. Sigh. Miss Manners doesn’t know who is worse: those who disdain etiquette, or those who use it as a battering ram. No, she is not going after you, sad as she is to see the increasing number of people who invite others to honor them. You probably knew of such occasions and therefore concluded that this was acceptable. Of course etiquette evolves, and an example of its changing for the better is the recognition that men also become parents and should be included in these celebrations. But what is the reason for changing the old rule of friends honoring friends instead of themselves? Fear that they may not? Or, as most people will interpret it, greed? Either way, there is no excuse for the person you call your best friend. Friends may or may not choose to honor their friends, but they are not allowed to vilify them. Especially when claiming to be better practitioners of etiquette. Dear Miss Manners: I’ve dined with two different men lately — in nice restaurants, not at fast- food chains — and each of them pushed food onto his fork with his finger. I just don’t know how to handle this, especially as each is a nice man who wants to continue a dating relationship. It would be a shame to stop seeing either of them because of poor table manners. How to handle this? Over just coffee? Which is probably too hot for them to stir with a finger? Miss Manners hopes that you do not have illusions about furthering romance by correcting a gentleman’s table manners. Not a good courtship technique. It’s not even an easy marital technique. The least offensive lesson Miss Manners can devise is to take one of those gentlemen to a really formal (so as not to say pretentious) restaurant as a great treat, and whisper beforehand that it is not the sort of place where one can eat with one’s fingers. It is not to be tried on a first date. Wait until you feel that the gentleman is worth the investment. New Miss Manners columns are posted Monday through Saturday on washingtonpost.com/advice.

I wouldn’t care if she looked like a bottle of Gatorade: I just wish she would pay as much attention to her dummy play.” Playing at four hearts, my fan’s wife took dummy’s ace of clubs and led the king of trumps. West played low, won the next trump and shifted to a low spade: deuce, king, ace. “My wife drew trumps,” my fan says, “and led a diamond. East won and returned a spade, and West took the 10 and queen. If my wife is as bad at dieting as declaring, she’ll look like a two-liter bottle of something.” I told my fan I wouldn’t relay his comments to his wife, but she goofed. At Trick Two, she must lead a spade to her jack. When West wins, he has no win- ning defense. If he leads the ace and a low trump to stop a spade ruff in dummy, South draws trumps and loses a diamond to the ace, setting up a spade discard. If instead West leads a second club, South ruffs her third spade in dummy.

KLMNO SPORTS monday, august 3, 2026 SU C A turkey, probably bound for slaughter, is now a family pet. C7 Erik S. Lesser/AP First baseman Luis García Jr., left, was pulled from the lineup 30 minutes before first pitch at Truist Park. After the game, the Nationals traded him to the Yankees. Nationals at Phillies 6:40 p.m., Nationals.TV | Rays add Peralta Mets’ prized offseason acquisition heads south, C5 Paul Sancya/AP The Dodgers traded for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal to strengthen a roster already loaded with star power. BY DANIELLE ALLENTUCK ATLANTA — On Sunday afternoon, after the Washington Nationals fell to the Braves, 4-2, to seal a four- game sweep, Luis García Jr. made his way through the clubhouse, handing out hugs and packing his belongings. He had not been traded yet. That would come an hour later, when the New York Yankees acquired him for a package of four pitchers. The Nationals knew before the game that a deal was close. They scratched García 30 minutes before first pitch and kept him on the bench even when Andrés Chaparro left the game after being hit by a pitch. Brady House took over at first base, his first major league appear- ance at that position. García said he told Blake Butera he could go in the game after Chap- arro was injured, but Washington’s manager had been told not to play him. A potential injury could have diminished García’s value or even killed a deal. “It was weird, uncomfortable, go- ing out to the dugout and having your teammates look at you,” García said through a team interpreter. The five-game losing streak is tied see nationals on C5 With fifth straight loss — and fourth at Atlanta — Nats are ready to punt BY DANIELLE ALLENTUCK ATLANTA — The Washington Na- tionals dealt veteran infielder Luis García Jr. to the New York Yankees on Sunday, the second major move the team has made ahead of the trade deadline. Washington received four right- handed pitchers from New York: Jake Bird, Yovanny Cruz, Ben Grable and Jack Cebert. García, the longest-tenured Na- tional, is having a career year, hit- ting .283 with 23 home runs. But he will be eligible for free agency after next season, and his value probably will never be higher. “It’s a mix of sad and happy,” García said through an interpreter after Sunday’s 4-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves, when the deal was close. “It’s a new chapter of my career. So yeah, it’s 50-50 right now.” The Nationals waited until close to the deadline to choose which di- rection they would go. But a five- game losing streak, which tied a season high and left them three games under .500, made the deci- sion clear. They are sellers now, trad- ing away a key bat and clubhouse leader. The Nationals are in dire need of pitching depth, and this deal pro- vides reinforcements at the major and minor league levels. Bird, 30, has major league experi- ence with the Colorado Rockies and see García on C5 In another major deal, García goes to Yankees for a package of pitchers Swept into selling braves 4, nationals 2 BY NOAH WHITE Some tennis was played Sun- day. Some rain came down Sun- day. There was more of the latter. Both were expected entering the DC Open finals, where Jessi- ca Pegula was set to face Alexan- dra Eala on the women’s side and Taylor Fritz was matched up with Rafael Jódar on the men’s side. The division of the two variables was the only problem. After roughly an hour of play between Pegula and Eala — Peg- ula taking the first set 6-4, Eala responding 2-1 in the second — thunderstorms set in from 4 p.m. to shortly after 9 p.m., when the tournament announced the sin- gles finals would conclude Mon- day afternoon. All of that came after the women’s final shifted up to start at noon in anticipation of the socked-in afternoon radar. Pegu- la and Eala took the court, warm- ing up as the clouds shifted above. But as they prepared for first serve, lightning struck in the distance, the crowd dis- persed, and Rock Creek Park’s William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center settled into a rhythm. A little less than three hours later, Pegula and Eala retook the court, pushing through the first set and a bit of the second, before the rain once more joined the fray. From there, the sky would clear every few hours. The venue staff came out, sponging and blowing puddles. Fans departed from the property’s tent-covered food court, which turned into a FEMA nightmare as hundreds lay across the floor, leaned on food counters and begged kitch- en workers for any news. Yet just as they would go out, the rain would come once more. With thunderstorms projected for the rest of Sunday night, Monday was decidedly best. The women’s final is sched- uled to resume at noon. Upon its conclusion, and not before 1 p.m., the men’s final will follow. The 32-year-old Pegula, who won the title in Washington in 2019, is looking for her 12th career singles title on the WTA Tour. Eala, 21, is seeking her first. Fritz, 28, has earned 10 singles titles on the ATP Tour. The 19-year-old Jódar won his first title in Morocco earlier this year. Weather delays DC Open finals Pegula-Eala match was halted in second set; Fritz-Jódar didn’t start pitcher such as Skubal, and as this column noted last month, there was no excuse for the baseball’s wealthiest and smartest team not to grab him. So they grabbed him. Of course they did. They are rushing full bore toward that three-peat, and to the delight of the most appre- ciative fans in baseball, nothing is going to get in their way. The rest of baseball will hate them for this. They don’t care. Critics will say this is yet another example of how they are ruining the game. They couldn’t give a rip. A move like this — the insanely rich getting insanely richer — could be cited this winter as a reason for the game shutting down over a labor dispute. Not their problem. With a sore Shohei Ohtani look- ing increasingly doubtful for a meaningful October on the see skubal on C5 enough assets to get him. Of course they were. They always are. And in return, they will surely win a third consecutive champi- onship against a withering and overmatched group of pretenders that could add Skubal only in their dreams. He cost top prospects Zyhir Hope, River Ryan and Brady Smith. So? The Dodgers have tons of them. He could be a free agent this winter and may cost $400 million to retain. So? The Dodgers have that much in their couch cushions.

The Dodgers are going to three- peat: The six words that every baseball soul everywhere must now acknowledge. It’s over. The chase for base- ball’s best pitcher, the hunt by baseball’s best team, the pennant race, the World Series, all of it. It’s over. The Dodgers just stole it all again, three months early but right on time, their third consecu- tive championship cemented when they traded for the Detroit Tigers’ Tarik Skubal, the two-time defending Cy Young Award win- ner and quite simply the best pitcher in baseball.

C2 EZ SU the washington post . monday, august 3, 2026 THE DAY IN SPORTS colleges New order deals blow to some in Class of ’22 The judge who granted the right to play another year of college sports to some athletes whose eligibility ran out last school year issued a new order Sunday that makes clear that does not include football players who signed pro contracts this summer then had a change of heart. U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney responded to an NCAA request for clarity about her Friday ruling that granted a fifth year to athletes who graduated high school in 2022 and were not included in the new NCAA rule that allows five seasons of eligibility for Division I players. That decision, she said, still stands, but has no impact on other NCAA rules, including its prohibition on players signing pro contracts, then coming back to college. The ruling, as first written, had the potential to upend the upcoming college football season, where teams are starting camp planning on the “five for five” rule to take effect beginning next fall. Extending it to players this fall granted hundreds a chance to return to school. In the direct aftermath of the decision, some media reports were listing players on NFL and CFL rosters who were signaling they would be open to returning to school. But that appears to be off the table after Sweeney’s clarification that said there are no changes to the NCAA’s rules regarding pros; no exceptions over when athletes can enter the transfer portal; and no impact on elements of the landmark House lawsuit settlement, which dictates how many players teams can put on rosters and how much schools can pay them. … Former Clemson men’s basketball forward RJ Godfrey committed to Arizona, potentially filling the biggest hole in Coach Tommy Lloyd’s roster. soccer Spirit falls under Wave, stays second in NWSL Lia Godfrey scored in the second half, and the Washington Spirit fell to the San Diego Wave, 1-0, at Audi Field, snapping a three-game winning streak. On a breakaway in the 60th minute, Trinity Byars passed to Godfrey, who scored on her first touch despite tight coverage by Rebeca Bernal. Sandy MacIver finished with five saves for Washington (11-4-3), which suffered just its third loss in its past 14 NWSL games and its first home loss since the season opener in March. The Spirit remains at 36 points through 18 matches. Gotham FC, which beat the Houston Dash on Saturday night, leads the NWSL with 37 points. … British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said FIFA President Gianni Infantino should not be leading world soccer’s governing body in the latest fallout from the now-abandoned plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. “I do not believe that he is the right man to lead football forward on the world stage,” Burnham said. “The plan that was put forward was offensive to many people, football people, around the world, and it can’t be the case that we just move on and forget that. It wasn’t acceptable.” … New England Revolution ‌forward Jack Harrison received his U.S. green card and P-1 visa and is now eligible to play, the MLS club said. pro basketball Efficient Lynx hold on to beat Fever amid rally Rookie sensation Olivia Miles spearheaded an efficient offense with 28 points, Courtney Williams added 27, and the Minnesota Lynx won their 10th straight game with a 108-100 victory over the Indiana Fever in Minneapolis. A rally outside the Target Center pitted supporters of Indiana reserve Sophie Cunningham, who told ESPN last week she believed trans girls should not play in girls’ sports, against those with the opposite feeling. Minnesota Coach Cheryl Reeve wore a shirt that read, “Trans kids belong” and had a pregame conversation with Cunningham, who was booed throughout the game. The Lynx had a 96-82 lead with 6:41 to play before the Fever, who had scored 100 in a record six straight games, pulled within 100-98 with under three minutes to go. But Miles and Williams both came up with big baskets as Minnesota secured its longest winning streak since 2016. Napheesa Collier had 18 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Lynx (25-6). Natasha Howard scored 13 points and Kayla McBride 10. The Fever (19-11), which had its five-game winning streak halted, was led by Kelsey Mitchell with 37 points. It was her fifth 30-point game of the season and 14th straight 20-point game, the second-longest single-season streak in league history behind A’ja Wilson (15). … Jessica Shepard and Arike Ogunbowale scored 15 points each, and the Dallas Wings used a big third-quarter run to roll to an 83-63 win over the Connecticut Sun in Arlington, Texas. Azzi Fudd added 12 points for the Wings (19-11), who ended a two-game skid. Paige Bueckers scored just six points, the fewest in a game in her two-year career. With reserves playing the fourth quarter, Dallas still finished the game at 48 percent shooting, making 7 of 18 ­three-pointers. Fudd was 4 of 5 on threes and Ogunbowale made 7 of 9 shots with five assists. Diamond Miller led the Sun ­(7-23) with a season-high 22 points. … Janelle Salaun came off the bench to score 24 points, Veronica Burton contributed 17 points and six assists, and the Golden State Valkyries used their stingy defense down the stretch to hold off the Toronto Tempo for a 96-79 win in San Francisco. Gabby Williams and Tiffany Hayes scored 15 points apiece in the first of back-to-back matchups between the teams at Chase Center, where a boisterous sellout crowd cheered Golden State (20-9) ending a two-game skid that followed a nine-game winning streak. Nyara Sabally had 19 points and eight rebounds for the expansion Tempo (10-19), which began a five-game road trip by losing its sixth straight game. … Dearica Hamby scored 23 points, Nneka Ogwumike had 20 of her 22 in the second half, and the Los Angeles Sparks — on a day they learned star teammate Kelsey Plum was traded — ended a six-game losing streak with a 106-101 win over the Portland Fire on the road in Oregon. Plum, sidelined since June 21 with a leg injury, was sent to the Phoenix Mercury late Saturday night for Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-rounder. The Sparks ­(11-17) are now 3-9 without Plum. Bridget Carleton hit seven threes, scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Fire (11-19), which lost its fifth straight. golf Thorbjornsen prevails at final Rocket Classic Michael Thorbjornsen made a 26-foot putt for birdie on his last hole to shoot 7-under-par 63 and reach 18 under to win his first PGA Tour title by two shots at the final Rocket Classic. The 24-year-old Thorbjornsen sealed his spot in the FedEx Cup playoff after rolling into the Motor City No. 69 in the standings. The top 70 advance to the postseason after next week’s Wyndham Championship. Thorbjornsen started the fourth round at Detroit Golf Club three shots behind leader Davis Riley, whose rough start opened opportunities for the field. Thorbjornsen took advantage, surging into the lead at No. 14 with his third of four birdies in a six-hole stretch and closing with a clutch, curling putt that went in the right side of the cup. Thorbjornsen is the eighth first-time winner this season on the PGA Tour and the second straight, following Jackson Koivun’s victory last week at the 3M Open. Xander Schauffele (65) briefly led during the final round and finished second, two shots back. Riley (70) was another stroke behind in third, falling out of the lead with four bogeys. … Eight of the 12 ‌players for the European Solheim Cup team are now set in stone, with rising star Lottie Woad leading the way. The 22-year-old English player was named to her first Solheim Cup team when the automatic qualifiers locked in following the Women’s British Open. Two players, Charley Hull of England and Esther Henseleit of Germany, qualified from the Ladies European Tour’s Solheim Cup points list. Six more clinched via their positions in the women’s world golf rankings: Woad, Sweden’s Maja Stark and Linn Grant, France’s Celine Boutier, Spain’s Carlota Ciganda and Denmark’s Nanna Koerstz ‌Madsen. tennis Liutova, 16, is first born in ’10s to win on WTA Sixteen-year-old Kristina Liutova ‌of Russia claimed a 1-6, ­6-1, 6-3 victory over Darja Vidmanova of the Czech Republic to earn the title at the Memphis Classic in her first WTA main-draw event. Liutova, who is ranked No. 229 in the world and had to qualify to get into the main draw, became the first player aged 16 or younger since Coco Gauff in 2019 to win a WTA event ‌and the first player born in the 2010s to win a WTA event. Liutova did not register any aces on the hard-court surface against Vidmanova, but she converted seven of 10 break point opportunities. … Uzbekistan’s Kamilla Rahkimova defeated Venus Williams, 6-4, 6-1, to highlight first-round action at the Canadian Open. Rahkimova needed 1 hour 27 minutes to secure the win over Williams, 46, who received a wild card to play in Toronto for the 13th time. swimming Walsh victorious in 50 to close out nationals The U.S. Swimming Championships in Irvine, California, concluded Saturday night with the 50-meter women’s and men’s ‌freestyle races, ‌both of which were won by the current American record holders. Former University of Virginia star Gretchen Walsh comfortably won the women’s race by nearly a half-second with a time of 23.60 seconds, just five- hundredths off her current world record. On ‌the men’s side, Caeleb Dressel, 29, continued his comeback with a strong showing (21.35). Virginia swimmer Maximus Williamson defended the NCAA championship he won earlier this year in the 200 individual medley by winning the American championship with a time of 1:56.40, pulling away over each of the final three legs after he sat in third after the opening butterfly lap. Alex Walsh won her own title shortly before her sister Gretchen, running away in the women’s 200 IM title with a 2:08.59. Other champions on the final day included Ryan Erisman in the 800 freestyle (7.43:53) and Katie Grimes in the 1,500 freestyle (15:55.69). cycling At the women’s Tour, Wiebes remains on top Lorena Wiebes sprinted to her second victory in as many stages of the Women’s Tour de France.

ANNES, England — Shiho Kuwaki of Japan saved par to stay alive in a sudden-death playoff Sunday and won with a par on the second extra hole to claim the Women’s British Open over Esther Henseleit of Germany for her first major title. Kuwaki closed with a 1-under-par 70 and looked like a winner as she waited nearly 30 minutes in the scoring room. Henseleit, in the final group, holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at Royal Lytham & St. Annes for a 70 to join Kuwaki at 5-under 279. Henseleit then had the advantage in the playoff when the 23-year-old from Japan was in deep grass short of a bunker and had to lay up short of the green. Kuwaki hit wedge to three feet to save par and got another chance when Henseleit missed a 15-foot birdie putt for the win. The tables turned on the second extra hole. Henseleit’s tee shot on the 18th drifted far enough to the right that it was beneath a gorse bush. She did well to get that back to the fairway and hit wedge to about 12 feet. But her par putt stayed left of the cup, and that left Kuwaki to tap in for par. “Very happy with how I gave myself the opportunity to win today and how I han- dled myself.

His decision to do so comes on the heels of FIFA demanding the curtains be closed during recent World Cup match at the venue. “Well, do ‌you know some- thing?” Jones told Fox 4. “Think- ing about it and doing something about it are two different things. … But I’ll think ‌about ‌it. It’s hard to tell that time of the year, because the sun’s not the same. This time of the year that it ‌is, in the fall. And that is, you get on into — ‌sun changes, and the angle of that sun changes from September through year-round. But as we look at it, I like some of the effects of the tinting. And so we’re giving that a thought.” The sun shines through the end zones in late-afternoon games, creating an aesthetic view but one that also — on occasion — affects game play. Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, for example, dropped an easy touchdown pass because of the glare in a 34-6 loss to Philadelphia on ‌Nov. 10, 2024. “I couldn’t see ‌the ball.

The report came on the heels of the Texans re-signing veteran de- fensive end Mario Edwards, who ‌played the past two seasons with the franchise. The team has not confirmed the Clowney signing.

BY JOSH DUBOW Going from last place to first in the division is far from an oddity in the NFL. With last-place teams getting advantages such as favorable schedules and higher draft picks, 27 clubs since the 2002 realign- ment have followed up a last- place finish with a division title the following year. The New England Patriots and Chicago Bears both pulled off the trick last season, making it the fifth time in the last six seasons that at least one team has done it. Perhaps no team is better posi- tioned for a rebound this season than the Detroit Lions, who came in fourth in the NFC North with a 9-8 record last season and still have many of the key pieces that helped them earn the top seed in the NFC playoffs in 2024. The Lions were hurt by injuries on defense and the struggle to replace offensive play-caller Ben Johnson. Drew Petzig was hired in the offseason to take over as offensive coordinator after John Morton was stripped of play-call- ing duties midway through the season. The schedule should work in the Lions’ favor. Nine of their 11 games outside the always-stout division are against teams that finished with losing records last season. Here’s a look at the contenders based on their odds to finish first from BetMGM Sportsbook: Detroit Lions Odds to win division: +175. Reason for optimism: The Li- ons have the best odds of any team in the NFC North to win the division after all four teams in the ultracompetitive division fin- ished with winning records last season. Petzig takes over an of- fense that could be one of the most potent with stars such as Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Penei Sewell, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta. Reason for pessimism: The of- fensive line that had been the strength of the team in recent years has several questions. Sewell is moving from right tackle to left tackle, and the other four spots are manned by unproven players, including first-round right tackle Blake Miller. The sec- ondary is a major concern as well, with safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph hobbled by injuries that might linger into the season. New Orleans Saints Odds to win division: +260. Reason for optimism: Quar- terback Tyler Shough showed promise in nine starts as a rookie, with the Saints getting five of their six wins with him at the helm. New Orleans has a solid offensive line, playmakers Chris Olave and rookie Jordan Tyson at wide receiver, and a defense that was much improved under coor- dinator Brandon Staley. With no team in the NFC South finishing with a winning record last season, the gap between last place and first is narrow. Reason for pessimism: Olave played 16 games last season, but he has a history of concussions that could be a concern for a team that has few proven stars on of- fense. The pass rush got 10.5 sacks from Cameron Jordan last year, but he might need more help after turning 37. If Shough regresses, the Saints could face a sixth sea- son in a row out of the playoffs. New York Giants Odds to win division: +550. Reason for optimism: New coach John Harbaugh brings a proven track record to a franchise that needed a big jolt. Jaxson Dart showed flashes as a rookie with 15 touchdown passes and nine touchdown runs, and he could be even better in year two if wide receiver Malik Nabers is healthy. Brian Burns and Abdul Carter give New York a potential strong one-two punch at pass rusher, and rookie Arvell Reese could make an immediate impact on defense as well. Reason for pessimism: The Gi- ants had one of the league’s worst run defenses last season, and they traded away defensive tackle Dex- ter Lawrence in the offseason. That leaves a potentially big hole on the interior defensive line. If Nabers doesn’t get back to his rookie form from 2024, the of- fense lacks playmakers on the outside. Tennessee Titans Odds to win division: +850. Reason for optimism: If Cam Ward takes a big step in year two after some rookie struggles as the No. 1 overall pick and new coach Robert Saleh can improve the defense, the Titans could make a big jump after back-to-back three-win seasons. Star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons anchors the defense, and rookie wide re- ceiver Carnell Tate should provide a big boost to Ward on the outside. Reason for pessimism: The of- fensive line remains one of the worst in the league and could hamper Ward’s progress. The de- fense underwent a major over- haul in the offseason but might take more than one season to get back to being competitive. Cleveland Browns Odds to win division: +2,000. Reason for optimism: The Browns got major contributions from last year’s draft class led by defensive rookie of the year Car- son Schwesinger, prolific tight end Harold Fannin Jr., running back Quinshon Judkins and de- fensive tackle Mason Graham. With four picks in the first two rounds in April, the Browns are hoping they added more building blocks. Reason for pessimism: Not much matters until the Browns find their quarterback. Deshaun Watson is returning from an Achilles injury that sidelined him all last season but he hasn’t been an effective quarterback since 2020. Shedeur Sanders made sev- en starts as a rookie but showed no signs of being a franchise quar- terback. The offensive line re- mains a major problem, and the defense must replace defensive player of the year Myles Garrett after he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. New York Jets Odds to win division: +2,000. Reason for optimism: A re- worked staff under Coach Aaron Glenn will lead to improvement, and new quarterback Geno Smith will look more like the passer he was in Seattle than last season with the Raiders thanks to a much better offensive line. Reason for pessimism: The Jets have the longest active play- off drought in the NFL at 15 sea- sons, and they need lots of work to get back to contention. Smith was one of the worst quarterbacks in the league last season. Las Vegas Raiders Odds to win division: +2,200. Reason for optimism: There’s nowhere to go but up after last season’s three-win campaign un- der Pete Carroll. New coach Klint Kubiak takes over after helping Seattle win the Super Bowl last season as offensive coordinator and will develop an offense around No. 1 pick Fernando Men- doza. The offensive line should be improved with free agent acquisi- tion Tyler Linderbaum and a healthy Kolton Miller, and the team has young playmakers in Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty. Reason for pessimism: The Raiders are in a tough division with two returning playoff teams in the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, along with the Kansas City Chiefs. The issues that plagued Las Vegas last sea- son probably will take more than a year to fix. The defense lacks stars outside of Maxx Crosby, the wide receivers are weak, and there are questions at three spots on the offensive line. Arizona Cardinals Odds to win division: +10,000. Reason for optimism: Arizona is hoping new coach Mike LaFleur can help spark an offense that features playmakers such as all- pro tight end Trey McBride, No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love at running back, 1,000-yard wide re- ceiver Michael Wilson and former No. 4 overall pick Marvin Harri- son Jr. also at wideout. Reason for pessimism: The Cardinals play in one of the tough- est divisions with the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, the Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers all coming off playoff seasons. Journeyman Jacoby Brissett be- gins the season as starting quar- terback with third-round rookie Carson Beck in reserve. — Associated Press Lions lead the candidates who can jump from worst to first in their division Junfu Han/USA TODAY Network The Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff (16), are perennial NFC North title contenders, but they finished last season in last place at 9-8.

monday, august 3, 2026 . the washington post EZ SU C5 Orlando Ribalta allowed anoth- er unearned run in the seventh following his own errant throw. Washington’s 88 errors are the most in the majors by a wide mar- gin. With the Nationals’ offense re- maining largely lifeless — they didn’t record a hit after the fourth inning and finished 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position — those miscues were all the Braves needed. “You hate getting swept,” Caval- li said. “It’s frustrating, but we have 49 games left, and we have to move on and go compete. You never know what can happen.” Now, as the Nationals head to Philadelphia for a four-game se- ries, they do so without their lon- gest-tenured player. There could be more deals coming before Mon- day’s 6 p.m. deadline, with Foster Griffin also drawing interest. Trading García signals that the team is selling. But the Nationals, Abrams said, aren’t giving up. “We want to win as many as we can,” Abrams said. “This week didn’t go as we planned, but next week can.” of the day, if you try to shut that off and pretend like that’s not out there, I think it just brings up a little bit more of: ‘Why are you doing this? Is there something you know that we don’t know?’ Let’s leave everything out there.” In Sunday’s loss, Cavalli pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs, both of which came on solo homers. Mike Yastrzem­ski hit one in the third inning, putting the Braves on the board first. The Na- tionals responded in the fourth, loading the bases with one out and tying the game when JR Ritchie’s curveball struck Chaparro in the head. He remained in the game initially but felt dizzy later and was removed in the fifth. James Wood tacked on a sacri- fice fly in the fourth to make it 2-1, but Matt Olson responded right away for the Braves, leading off the bottom half with a solo shot. Atlanta took the lead for good in the fifth. Austin Riley doubled, and Jim Jarvis hit a grounder to CJ Abrams, who threw too high for House to snag. The ball rolled toward the Braves dugout, allow- ing Riley to score. for the Nationals’ longest of the season and puts them three games under .500 for the first time in nearly three months. The players, Cade Cavalli said, told each other to ignore the buzz of the deadline and just play their game, even as their teammates’ futures were hanging in the balance. “You do yourself a disservice if you allow your mind to go to those places,” said Cavalli, who took the loss Sunday despite a solid start. “At the end of the day, that’s out of our control.” It’s hard to avoid, though, even if they tried. On Sunday morning, all three televisions were turned to MLB Network, and the loudspeak- ers blasted the audio of the com- mentators debating potential moves, including ones that in- volved players in Washington’s clubhouse. The TVs stayed on, Butera said before the game, because players need to learn how to handle the outside noise. “That’s part of the industry they’re in,” Butera said. “At the end nationals from C1 Nats, hitting the skids, will look to sell Nationals on Deck at Philadelphia Phillies Monday 6:40 Nationals.TV Tuesday 6:40 Nationals.TV Wednesday 6:40 Nationals.TV Thursday 6:05 Nationals.TV vs. Cincinnati Reds Friday 6:45 WTTG (Ch. 5), Nationals.TV Saturday 6:45 Nationals.TV Sunday 12:15 NBCSN/ Peacock vs. Chicago Cubs Aug. 11 6:45 Nationals.TV Aug. 12 6:45 WTTG (Ch. 5), Nationals.TV Aug. 13 4:05 Nationals.TV Radio: WJFK (106.7 FM), WDCN (87.7 FM) Roki Sasaki has been tremen- dous since the all-star break — that new glove has been a giant success — but he’s still never started a post- season game. The same is true of Justin Wrobleski, for all his sur- prise greatness this summer. It all could get interesting. But it shouldn’t be suspenseful. Skubal solves all mysteries. Skubal ends all arguments. Skubal saves the summer. The Dodgers are the most championship-driven and fan-de- voted team in all of sports. They will do whatever it takes, however it takes, whenever it takes, to win. Five words that unequivocally prove it. Tarik Skubal is a Dodger. Dodgers can afford to pull Ohtani out of the rotation altogether and allow him to focus on offense, which has taken a bit of a hit with the pitching issues. But would he accept such a move, which might feel like a demotion? Ohtani has always put winning first, but he also began the season openly ac- knowledging his quest for a Cy Young Award. So there’s that. The Dodgers will still need some good fortune to round out the rotation. They say Snell and Glasnow are both on the verge of returning from what have essentially been season-long injuries. But they will both be 33 in October, so believe only what you see. newfangled minimally invasive procedure May 6 to remove a loose body from his elbow. Recovery time for a similar surgery done the old-fashioned way is two to three months, but he was back on the mound in a game one month later. Will this new operation hold up? Time will tell, but the Dodgers will be holding their breath. After Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Skubal, the Dodgers have an- other potentially big question: What do they do about Ohtani? He has dealt with a balky knee, and now he has a painful biceps. The Dodgers have kept him off the mound for a moment, but what happens in October? After acquiring Skubal, the mound, with Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow still sidelined with inju- ries, Skubal can slide into the No. 2 spot in a rotation that, if everyone gets healthy, could wind up being the best in baseball history. Of course, in the immortal words of Kobe Bryant, the job is not finished. There are still ques- tions, even for a team that has all the answers. Skubal is a tremendous pitcher in the playoffs, with a 2.04 ERA in six starts, but will his surgically repaired left elbow survive through his third postseason? After pushing 200 innings the last two seasons, he underwent a skubal from C1 perspective Third straight Dodgers title is a foregone conclusion baseball BY JAKE KAUDERER BALTIMORE — The Orioles left quite the impression this week- end on president of baseball operations Mike Elias before Monday’s trade deadline. Not in a good way. On Saturday, Baltimore was shut out at home for the first time this season. The Orioles followed that with another lowly perfor- mance Sunday, losing to the Phil- lies, 8-0, in a rain-shortened six- inning game. The defeat leaves them 21/2 games out of the final American League wild-card spot. “I trust Mike [Elias], and I know it’s kind of a weird deadline already, with everyone in it right now,” Manager Craig Albernaz said. “Whatever happens, hap- pens. Can’t really control every- thing in this game.” Sunday was expected to be a clash of two aces — Zack Wheeler and Kyle Bradish. But a near-two- hour rain delay midway through the third inning ended each’s day early. Wheeler pitched only two scoreless frames. Bradish lugged through three innings, surren- dering two runs on a home run by Philadelphia No. 9 hitter Bryan De La Cruz. Baltimore’s bullpen collapsed after the delay. Anthony Nunez allowed two runs in the fourth inning, Josh Walker conceded a solo home run by Bryce Harper in the fifth and Albert Suárez let three more runs in during the sixth inning. “Let’s go Phillies” chants were frequent at Camden Yards amid the dud by the Orioles (54-58). “Definitely frustrating,” center fielder Colton Cowser said. “Defi- nitely know how important these [games] are.” Baltimore entered Sunday with a 22.5 percent chance to make the playoffs, according to FanGraphs. Elias said Friday af- ternoon that he wouldn’t sink all of the team’s chips into this season, adding that he wouldn’t have a strong bias toward buying or selling. But that night, he made a move that signaled leaning toward the latter. Baltimore traded starter Dean Kremer to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for 18-year-old pros- pect Jhomnardo Reyes. The move shadowed last year, when the Orioles flipped nine big leaguers for 16 prospects at the deadline — a total sell-off. The obvious caveat is that Kremer wasn’t close to the big- gest name Baltimore could move. The 30-year-old owned a 6.50 ERA through seven starts this year. Chris Bassitt can fill Kremer’s place in the rotation when he returns. — Baltimore Sun Latest loss doesn’t give O’s much reason to buy Phillies 8, Orioles 0 (6) the Spanish-speaking and English- speaking players and was known for keeping things light. He had unique handshakes for every regu- lar in the lineup, which he per- formed with them before games, after a big hit or just anytime the moment felt right. Brady House said he couldn’t get through a conversation with García without laughing. Cade Cavalli said he has a contagious energy. “He’s been a great friend, a great teammate,” Cavalli said. “Loved playing with him. … He’s just truly a special human.” Abi Ortiz, who debuted in July, is the likely interim replacement for García. Ortiz has started his MLB career 1 for 2 and is hitting .244 with an .845 OPS for Roches- ter this season. The Nationals, who last week- end traded infielder Curtis Mead for starting pitcher Connelly Ear- ly, may not be done yet. Foster Griffin, who is a free agent after this season, could also find him- self on a new team soon. Washington’s new coaching staff, which helped him increase his bat speed and narrow in on the right pitches to hit. “He’s an unbelievable person, an unbelievable teammate, an unbe- lievable leader for this clubhouse, an unbelievable player,” Manager Blake Butera said. “He has done everything we’ve asked him to. … He’s been a huge part of our team and a huge part of our success.” But García’s production at the plate isn’t all that matters for the Nationals. He has grown up in the organization, going from a 20- year-old kid on his debut day in 2020 to a 26-year-old clubhouse leader and father. CJ Abrams, who was traded to the Nationals in 2022, said García was the first player he befriended when he joined the team. That bond is still there, four years later. “That’s my brother,” Abrams said. “No matter what team he is on, we’ll always have that connec- tion. That’s my guy.” García bridged the gap between pitchers should help the Nationals long-term, parting with García will leave a dent. He grew up with Washington, signing as an inter- national free agent in 2016. He made his MLB debut in 2020, sharing a clubhouse with super- stars such as Max Scherzer, Trea Turner and Juan Soto. “All those guys taught me and shaped me to be the player and person that I am today,” García said. “Coming in to this year, I was seen as a leader in this clubhouse. So for me, passing that along to everyone here, all my teammates, the young ones, that was really important to me.” García has been a consistent part of the Nationals’ lineup over the past six years, playing mainly second with some shortstop mixed in before he was moved to first base for 2026. This season has been the best of García’s career, with career highs in batting average, slugging per- centage, home runs and RBI. He credits part of his improvement to Yankees, pitching to a ­career ERA of 4.90. New York demoted him to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 19 after he allowed five runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers, spiking his ERA to 5.93. The Na- tionals optioned him to Class AAA Rochester on Sunday. Cruz, 26, made his MLB debut in May and has allowed just one run in 51/3 innings. He has a 3.53 ERA and has struck out nearly a third of opposing batters at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he has spent most of the season. He is ranked No. 30 on MLB Pipeline’s Nationals top prospects list. Grable, 24, was pitching for Class AA Somerset, where he had a 2.79 ERA in 29 innings out of the bullpen. Cebert is also 24 and also in Class AA. He has started 14 games this season, pitching to a 4.03 ERA. Grable and Cebert are listed 26th and 14th, respectively, in Washington’s system. While the addition of four García from C1 García goes to Yankees in another bittersweet swap Erik S. Lesser/AP First baseman Luis García Jr., center, was the longest-tenured National. He is having a career year, hitting .283 with 23 home runs. ASSOCIATED PRESS The first-place Tampa Bay Rays gave their starting rotation a boost Sunday, acquiring right- hander Freddy Peralta from the struggling New York Mets for three minor leaguers. Peralta, a two-time all-star who can become a free agent this fall, has been a disappointment for the Mets after they acquired him from Milwaukee in a January trade. “He gave us everything that he had, stepped out on the mound every single day and competed,” interim Mets manager Andy Green said. “I know he wanted better results. And I think when we struck the deal to get him, we were all hoping for a different set of circumstances on this day than what we’re looking at.” Peralta could help a strong pitching staff with the Rays, who have the best record in the Ameri- can League at 65-46. “Freddy is a proven major league starter with high-stakes ex- perience and a strong track re- cord,” Erik Neander, the Rays’ president of baseball operations, said in a statement. “Adding a pitcher and competitor of his cali- ber strengthens our team as we push forward.” The last-place Mets received outfielder Aidan Smith, infielder Émilien Pitre and right-hander Gary Gill Hill in exchange for Per- alta. Pitre was a second-round pick of Tampa Bay in the 2024 draft, while Hill was a sixth-round pick in 2022. Smith was picked in the fourth round in 2023 by the Seattle Mariners, who sent him to the Rays in the Randy Arozarena trade in 2024. Before joining the Mets last off- season, Peralta went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA over 33 starts in 2025. He led the National League in wins, finished fifth in Cy Young Award voting and helped the Brewers win their third straight National League Central crown. Last winter, New York sent youngsters Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams to the Brewers for Peralta and right-hander Tobias Myers, giving up a pair of players rated among the game’s top 100 prospects in the anticipation Per- alta would be the frontline starter the team needed. Instead, he went 5-9 with a 4.99 ERA in 22 starts and failed to complete five innings in four of his last five outings for the Mets. l CUBS: Chicago bolstered its rotation, acquiring right-hander Kevin Gausman in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, a person famil- iar with the deal told the AP on the condition of anonymity because it hadn’t been announced. The durable Gausman, who is eligible for free agency after this season, is 5-10 with a 4.38 ERA in 23 starts. He pitched at least 1742/3 innings and made at least 31 starts in each of the previous five years. The Blue Jays acquired minor leaguers Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene in the deal. Bateman, an outfielder was an eighth-round pick in the 2023 amateur draft, and Southisene, an infielder, was a fourth-round selection in 2024. Chicago also traded right- hander Jameson Taillon and cash to Toronto for a player to be named or cash. Taillon was desig- nated for assignment by the Cubs last week. l BRAVES: Atlanta acquired outfielder Lane Thomas and mi- nor league left-hander Bailey Fal- ter from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for two minor league pitchers. Thomas slashed .230/.325/.392 in 96 games with Kansas City. The former Washington Nationals slugger has played mostly center field this year, but he will move over to left field in Atlanta and probably platoon with Mike Yas- trzemski. Thomas is a career .288 hitter against left-handed pitching. Falter will report to Class AAA Gwinnett, according to Antho- poulos. He has spent the majority of this season with Class AAA Omaha. The Braves sent right-hander Lucas Braun and left-hander Cart- er Holton to the Royals. Rays add rotation depth, bringing in Mets’ Peralta Frank Franklin II/AP Freddy Peralta pitched to a 4.99 ERA in 22 starts for the Mets, one season after posting a 2.70 ERA over 33 starts with the Brewers.

KLMNO METRO monday, august 3, 2026 EZ RE C7 BY SYDNEY PAGE Dave Comer was driving through Lynchburg, Virginia, when he spotted an injured ani- mal lying on the side of the high- way. “I saw it move, so I pulled over,” said Comer, who lives in Washing- ton and owns a farm with his wife in Nelson County, Virginia. He approached the large, white animal and realized it was a tur- key. “He was busted up pretty bad,” said Comer, who was driving to the farm on May 8 from Charleston, South Carolina, where he had been for work. Then Comer did what most peo- ple probably wouldn’t: “I picked him up and put him in the passen- ger seat,” he said. When Comer pulled up at the farm with a 38-pound bird seated next to him, his wife did a double take. “It was this big, huge turkey,” Christina Gibson-Comer said. “The poor thing looked so sickly.” The couple believes the turkey — a broad breasted white, the most popular commercial breed — had been on the way to slaughter and somehow escaped a livestock see PET TURKEY on C9 Chester the turkey escaped slaughter, and found a family Discovered injured along a highway, he now spends his days snacking on grapes, watching cop shows and getting pats from a friendly FedEx driver Christina Gibson-Comer Chester the turkey wearing a star-spangled bandanna for July Fourth.

In a court filing, authorities in Milwaukee County said a teenag- er told police she had been communicating with Anderson since she was 12 years old. They used messaging platforms in- cluding Kik, Discord and Signal. The teen talked of struggles at home, the filing states, and An- derson promised to “never hit her, never scream at her.” The see MISSING TEEN on C9 At the time of Anderson’s ar- rest, he was armed with guns, knives and pepper spray, accord- ing to the records. Anderson is being held without bond in a Virginia jail. An attorney listed for him in online court records did not respond to a request for comment Friday. The Washington Post was not able to reach the family of the teen and does not identify vic- tims of alleged sexual abuse without their consent. The girl’s disappearance drew attention over the years from Anderson, 37, of Blacksburg, is facing additional charges in Wis- consin and Virginia, including kidnapping and possession of child sexual abuse material. Court records allege that An- derson lured the teen from her home in Wisconsin and held her at his residence in Virginia from June 26, 2022, through late May of this year. They said he forbade the teenager from going to school and physically and sexual- ly assaulted her. She told police he threatened to hurt her and her family if she tried to leave. Then in May, officers in a small Virginia town more than 700 miles away were sent to a home to investigate a domestic dispute. According to court records, the caller said she was the miss- ing teen and had been held against her will for years. Police in Blacksburg, Virginia, said officers took the caller to safety. They later arrested her alleged abductor, charging him with strangulation and abduc- tion of a child, among other counts.

Milwaukee teen who went missing in 2022 found in Blacksburg A 37-year-old man is accused of kidnapping and sexual assault BY LIAM BOWMAN After Johns Hopkins University public health researcher Fatima Ameaka was detained by immi- gration authorities as she boarded a domestic flight on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Securi- ty said she had overstayed her visa “in violation of our nation’s laws.” Ameaka’s lawyer, Benjamin Os- orio, said that claim is “not true,” citing immigration documents he says buttress his client’s case. Ameaka — a native of Camer- oon whose Hopkins colleagues have praised her work advancing public health — was transported from Baltimore-Washington In- ternational Marshall Airport to ICE facilities in Virginia, Louisi- ana and Texas before being re- leased late Friday. Her case shows how the Trump administration has begun using domestic air travel and alleged visa violations by foreign nation- als as a way to step up deporta- tions around the country. Homeland Security officials say their goal is “to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport.” Some im- migrants and their attorneys said the effort is already working to discourage flying, with some law- yers warning their clients not to take the risk. Ameaka, 31, entered the U.S. legally in June 2023 on a Fulbright Scholarship to study for a master’s in public health. Her Fulbright ended in June 2024, and she was hired as a research associate at the university in September of that year, according to her LinkedIn profile and interviews with her colleagues. Tom Inglesby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, where Ameaka was em- ployed, said she came to the U.S. for a “Fulbright degree, and then stayed on with a visa to work in our center.” A copy of an employ- ment authorization document, provided by her lawyer, shows it expiring in December 2029. A Department of Homeland Se- curity detention notice filed with Ameaka’s arrest includes inaccu- rate information that is contra- dicted by the government’s own records, according to Osorio, Ameaka’s attorney. The notice said that Ameaka was admitted into the U.S. as a “nonimmigrant crewmember (Sea or Air)” with authorization to temporarily remain in the United States, and that she remained in the country beyond June 14, 2024, “without authorization” from fed- eral authorities. But U.S. Customs and Border Protection records show that Ameaka was admitted under a J-1 student visa, according to a screenshot provided by Osorio. A spokesperson for DHS did not respond to a request for com- ment on the discrepancy. Osorio said that after Ameaka arrived on the student visa, she successfully applied for tempo- rary protected status, which the Biden administration had ex- see RESEARCHER on C10 Johns Hopkins researcher released detained at bwi, wound up in texas Lawyer disputes DHS claim of overstaying visa Today’s weather 8 a.m. Noon 4 p.m. 8 p.m. 77° 82° 87° 80° High today at approx. 4 p.m.: 87° Precip: 100% Wind: WSW 6-12 mph For weather news, go to C16 Virginia Three candidates square off in the GOP Senate primary on Tuesday.

On Friday, Milwaukee police said the teenager in their four- year-old missing person case had been found, but said a privacy law barred them from sharing additional information. Feuerbach also remembered seeing a young woman living at the house. He assumed she was Anderson’s daughter and waved at her “once in a while,” though he does not remember speaking with her. He saw the police cars that swarmed his neighbor’s home in May. According to the Wisconsin complaint, the young woman did vehicle.

Mark Warner. All three — Kim Farington, Bert Mizusawa and David Earl Williams — are political new- comers with experience working for the federal government, but they face a formidable opponent in Warner, a former governor who had more than $16 million in his coffers as of July 15, with the race turning to the general election after the statewide Re- publican primary on Tuesday. Mizusawa, a retired major gen- eral in the U.S. Army, appears to have the advantage over his pri- mary opponents in terms of mon- ey, name recognition and organi- zation, said Chris Saxman, a former Republican delegate who leads Virginia FREE, a statewide business organization attuned to state politics. “He just comes across as the strongest of the three candi- dates,” Saxman said in a recent interview. “But I don’t think any of them have made a compelling case.” Mizusawa leans heavily on his background in national security, both in the military and in civil- ian roles for the federal govern- ment. As an Army major general, he served as commander of the Joint Interagency Task Force to combat corruption, narcotics trafficking, terrorist financing and other illicit activities for two years during the U.S. war in Afghanistan. A resident of McLean, he served for three years as deputy undersecretary of the Army, and he worked for the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Com- mittee. His campaign website high- lights his positions on simplify- ing the federal tax code, support- ing the military, upholding Sec- ond Amendment rights to bear arms and promoting the develop- ment of nuclear energy. Mizusawa picked up an en- dorsement on Friday from state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain (R- Rockingham), chairman of the Virginia Senate Republican Cau- cus. He had already received endorsements from state Sen. Luther Henry Cifers III (R-Prince Edward) and former congress- woman Thelma Drake (R-Virgin- ia). “Bert is battle-tested — in military service and in public life," Obenshain said in a state- ment. “He is a consistent, princi- pled conservative whose commit- ment to our values has never wavered. Just as importantly, he has the leadership, experience, and judgment to unite Republi- cans, run a disciplined statewide campaign, and give us our stron- gest opportunity to win in No- vember.” Mizusawa welcomed the en- dorsement. “Our campaign has the momentum, and with the support behind our campaign from every corner of Virginia, we are the best positioned to fire Mark Warner this November,” he said in a statement. Farington, of Fairfax Station, is a certified public accountant who has served in multiple positions in the federal government, in- cluding the Defense and Agricul- ture departments, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Office of Management and Bud- get. She is also the founder and CEO of KTech, a financial man- agement and cybersecurity com- pany. Her campaign website advo- cates reduced federal govern- ment spending to address the national debt, help for small businesses, support for Second Amendment gun rights, the ap- pointment of “constitutional con- servative” judges and school choice. Williams, of Reston, served in the U.S. Navy and as an infantry officer in the Marine Corps. He has worked in the State Depart- ment and as a case officer for the CIA. He is a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve. His campaign website empha- sizes law enforcement, border security, school choice and pa- rental involvement in education, and reduced federal spending, except for the military. All three candidates face a massive financial deficit com- pared with Warner, who was a telecommunications executive before his election as governor 25 years ago. As of July 15, Mizusawa had raised $376,000 and had $53,000 in hand; Farington had raised almost $146,000 with $16,160 in hand; and Williams had raised $97,000 with $7,187 in hand. In contrast, Warner has raised $17.8 million over the past 18 months and $25 million since his last election. The three-term senator is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelli- gence. He also serves on the Senate Finance Committee and the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. Warner has remained on the attack over President Donald Trump’s handling of the war with Iran, which the senator says is responsible for the rising cost of gasoline, diesel fuel and fertilizer. He also attributed higher prices for consumers to the president’s intensifying tariff policy. He recently introduced a pack- age of legislation to extend over- sight of artificial intelligence, including in relation to the data centers necessary to support the technology.

House-training a tur- key, for example, is virtually im- possible. “It’s never a dull moment,” Comer said. Still, he said, they have no re- grets. “He just became part of the family. … We love him,” Comer said. “This guy will live with us until the end of his time.” thing.” At the farm, Chester roams free outdoors, but he sleeps inside the house, usually on the floor. His breed can’t fly. “He’s slow enough that if he starts walking away and won’t come if we call, we can easily get him,” Comer said. In D.C., Chester indicates he wants a walk by pestering the Comers, grabbing their shoes, phones or tablets until they take him out. The Comers put Chester in a dog harness so they can easily grab him if he walks ahead. “People stop. They love him. It’s derexercise. They often suffer from heart disease, joint damage and respiratory failure. “They’re not bred to live long,” Comer said. They feed him turkey-specific kibble, along with fruits and vege- tables. His favorites are romaine lettuce, watermelon, tomatoes and grapes — which he’ll often steal right from Gibson-Comer’s hand. “He’s like a toddler,” Gibson- Comer said. “He’ll go through this foot- stomping routine,” Comer said. “It’s quite funny.

He enjoys watching police chases on TV (he gets particularly excited by the sound of sirens), and he likes get- ting his neck rubbed by a FedEx driver. “He’s changed my whole per- spective of these kinds of animals,” Comer said. “Whatever we’re do- ing, he’s got to be in on the action.” Chester’s vet told the Comers he could live to be 10 years old if he’s well cared for, though domestic turkeys don’t generally live that long. They are prone to health issues because of their large size and tendency to overeat and un- — the fleshy growths on his head and neck, which shift between white, blue and red depending on his emotions. Red tends to indi- cate excitement or dominance, blue signifies he is calm or con- tent, and white suggests stress or fear. “When Dave brought him home, he was so sick that his neck and head were really whiteish,” Gibson-Comer said. “As he started getting better, we noticed he was blue and red.” The couple splits time between the farm and their home in Chevy Chase, occasionally bringing transport truck. “He jumped off in a valiant ef- fort to free himself,” Gibson-Com- er said. She named the turkey Chester after a character from an old-time radio show she grew up listening to. She recalled a segment in which a family raised a turkey named Chester intending to eat it for Thanksgiving, but they couldn’t bring themselves to go through with it. “I figured it was perfect,” Gib- son-Comer said. The Comers brought him to their vet and learned he had shat- tered his left wing and had severe road rash. He also had broken part of his beak. The vet said Chester was about 6 months old. Initially, the couple planned to care for Chester for a short while until his health improved, and then they would try to rehome him. But they said they quickly became fond of him and decided to keep him. Radio station WVTF covered the story. “We grew attached to him,” said Comer, who retired from the U.S. Navy in 2007 and now works in the Navy’s aircraft carrier design pro- gram. The couple said they believe Chester had spent his life con- fined. “The first time he walked in the barnyard and had grass under his feet, I could just tell that was so new for him,” Comer said. “He seems really happy,” Gib- son-Comer said. Chester is not the first animal — or even bird — the couple have rescued, though he is the first tur- key. He is currently their only pet. “When the Navy took us to Tex- as, we went with one dog and came back with five,” Gibson-Comer said, noting that they’ve also taken in injured pigeons, a blue jay and a bird of prey. “We are definitely animal people.” The Comers, who have three adult children, said they were struck by Chester’s personality. “He is so unique, and he’s so friendly,” Comer said. “He literally follows you around.” “We were really surprised by how smart he is,” Gibson-Comer added. “He knows his name. He has also learned to ignore us when he wants to, or he’ll have a little tantrum when he doesn’t want to move.” They can read Chester’s mood based on the color of his caruncles PET TURKEY from C7 Couple who rescued Chester say having a pet turkey may not be for everyone Dave Comer Christina Gibson-Comer and Dave Comer, the couple who adopted Chester.

C10 EZ RE the washington post . monday, august 3, 2026 ASSOCIATED PRESS Vincent Pastore, a veteran ac- tor who played mobsters and tough guys, and was best known for portraying Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on “The So- pranos,” has died. He was 80. Bob McGowan, who has man- aged Pastore since his run on “The Sopranos,” told the Associ- ated Press that he learned of Pastore’s death Saturday from another client and actor on the show, Vincent Curatola. He said Pastore was found in his home on New York’s City Island after not being heard from for a few days. McGowan said he had been trying to reach Pastore about a possible job. “He was the most loyal client, and he always gave to charity,” McGowan said, “and he was the kind of guy who would help anybody, which is rare in my business.” Robert Attermann represent- ed Pastore for more than 30 years, before his time on “The Sopranos.” While Pastore will be remembered as “Big Pussy,” he was so much more, Attermann said in an email to the AP. “Vinny was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known,” Attermann said. “He treated everyone with warmth and respect, never turning down a fan who wanted a photograph or an autograph. He genuinely appreciated the people who sup- ported him and always made them feel valued.” Attermann said Pastore loved being an actor and was passion- ate about his craft while always encouraging young actors, “tak- ing the time to offer guidance and support whenever he could.” Michael Imperioli, a longtime friend and collaborator, said on Instagram that it seemed as though he had known Pastore forever. “We did lots of work together and traveled all over the USA as well as Italy and Australia. Lots of good times. Lots of laughs,” Imperioli said. “Vinny was a kind-hearted brother who cared deeply about his family and friends. I will miss him always.” Pastore appeared in movies dating back to the 1980s, includ- ing roles in big films such as “Goodfellas” and “Awakenings,” both in 1990. He often played gangsters. And it was one of those roles he is best known for: his 30-episode run as Bonpensiero, a friend of Tony Soprano who becomes an FBI informant. Pastore was born in the Bronx and grew up in suburban New Rochelle, New York. He enlisted in the Navy during the Vietnam War and later attended Pace University, according to his biog- raphy on IMDb. He is survived by his daughter, Renee Pastore.

The Baltimore Banner previously reported that Ameaka had been detained. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Mary- land) criticized her arrest in a social media post Friday evening. “Fatima came to the US on a Fulbright scholarship & is a re- searcher at Johns Hopkins. She had previously filed for [tempo- rary protected status] & currently has a pending asylum case. But ICE has detained her & is working to deport her. She is not the ‘worst of the worst’ & deporting her is not making us safer. We must stand up & speak out,” Van Hollen said in the post. Ameaka was able to leave two voicemails to people close to her in the moments after her arrest. Family and other supporters had been concerned she would not have access to the medication she needs for a chronic medical condi- tion while in custody. Friends ex- pressed relief late Friday when she was released and headed for a hotel, though they still have con- cerns about the ongoing case. “I think most people would agree that we probably shouldn’t be detaining people who are here lawfully, are in lawful pending status, have no criminal history and are a productive member of society,” Osorio said. panded to include Cameroonians due to armed conflict in that country. Ameaka later applied for asylum, according to Osorio. In August 2025, the Trump ad- ministration terminated tempo- rary protected status for people from Cameroon, saying it was no longer necessary or in the nation- al interest. Inglesby described Ameaka as “an extremely warm, kind, gener- ous person.” He said Ameaka is a talented researcher who is study- ing how to improve public health responses to epidemic diseases. “She has been an outstanding colleague. She is beloved by all of her co-workers, family and friends,” Inglesby said. “We’re all super worried about her.” In a statement Friday, Johns Hopkins spokesperson Doug Donovan said that while the uni- versity could not comment on the specifics of Ameaka’s situation, it is actively working to provide sup- port for her and her defense. “The university understands the fear and concern this instills in members of our community,” Donovan said.

Winifred was born on December 12, 1933, in Austin, Texas, to Edwin Dillard Guthrie and Marjorie Yarrell Guthrie. She spent her early childhood in Austin before her family moved to Evanston, Illinois, where she grad- uated proudly from Evanston Township High School as a member of the Class of 1952. She attended Radcliffe College before re- turning home to care for her father during his illness. She later completed her degree in mathematics at Northwestern University in 1956, demonstrating the independence, resilience, and force of will that would char- acterize her life. While at Northwestern, Winifred met James Desmond Anderson, a fellow Evanston Township High School and Northwestern graduate. Their marriage would span more than 65 years and serve as the foundation of a life rich in family and service. Together, they raised three sons—Walter, Mark, and Kent—and built a home filled with curiosi- ty, learning, laughter, and a commitment to helping others. Their life together took them from Wisconsin to Florida and ultimately to Northern Virginia as they followed Jim’s call- ing in ministry, forming lasting friendships and touching countless lives along the way. Winifred began her professional career teaching mathematics at The Madeira School. After earning a Master of Arts in Ear- ly Childhood Education from George Wash- ington University, she founded Resurrection Preschool in Alexandria, Virginia. There she discovered what would become her life’s calling: ensuring that children with disabili- ties received the educational opportunities they deserved, while equipping parents to become effective advocates for their chil- dren’s needs. That calling led her to establish the Par- ent Educational Advocacy Training Center (PEATC), where she served as founding Executive Director. Through PEATC, Win- ifred helped transform special education advocacy by training thousands of parents, educators, and professionals to navigate the educational system on behalf of children with disabilities. Her influence extended far beyond Virginia as she conducted advoca- cy training programs throughout the United States and authored several books on edu- cational advocacy that were translated into Korean, Farsi, French, and Spanish. Winifred is survived by her sons, Walter An- derson, Mark Anderson, and Kent Anderson; their spouses and partners; her grandchil- dren and great-grandchildren; and a wide circle of extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her beloved hus- band, James “Jim” Anderson; her sisters, Marjorie Guthrie Morgan and Gene Weeks; and her daughter-in-law, Cathy Anderson. Her legacy lives not only in the family she cherished, but also in the countless children whose educational futures were improved because one determined educator believed that parents could become their children’s strongest advocates. A celebration of Winifred’s life will be held at 11 am on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 228 Pitt Street, Alexandria, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the ETHS Foundation in memory of Win Anderson. Donations can be made through the Foundation’s website by select- ing “This gift is in honor, memory, or support of someone” and entering Win’s name.

She provided advice and guidance to her clients to help them navigate and resolve disputes involv- ing complex financial matters, custody and access to children, child and spousal sup- port and the division of marital property in- cluding the distribution of retirement assets.

His fam- ily soon after moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where he grew up as the second of nine children. Denis was a proud “Triple Billiken.” He graduated from Saint Louis University High School in 1960, Saint Louis University in 1964, and Saint Louis University School of Law in 1967. Following law school, Denis moved to the New York area, where he worked briefly for the Internal Revenue Service in Newark, New Jersey. He then moved to Washington, D.C., where he served for three years as a lieutenant and attorney in the United States Coast Guard. After working in private prac- tice, he joined the Office of the General Counsel at the United States Agency for In- ternational Development. He later served as Assistant General Counsel for Legislation and Policy Coordination before being appointed by President Gerald Ford to serve as Assis- tant Administrator for Legislative Affairs.

Among its clients were major American com- panies and numerous foreign governments, including Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, Morocco, Kenya, and El Salvador. During this time, he became known for his expertise in foreign assistance, defense policy, and United States relations with the Middle East. Later in his career, he served as president and chief ex- ecutive officer of General Technologies Asso- ciates, LLC.

The organization supports wounded, ill, and injured post-9/11 service members, their caregivers, and their families. Mr. Neill also served on the board of the Barker Founda- tion and was a longtime member of Colum- bia Country Club. Above all, Denis treasured his family. Kathy was his beloved partner of 60 years, and he was devoted to her and to the life they built together. He delighted in gathering the Neill family for celebrations in St. Louis, Bermuda, Paris, and wherever else they could make memories together. He loved traveling for both business and pleasure, particularly to France. He especially enjoyed playing his own version of poker with his granddaugh- ters, handing out $2 bills to the winners, and often to everyone else he encountered as well. Guided throughout his life by his strong Catholic faith and his love of family, he was a source of love and generosity to all who knew him.

D5 BY PAULA ANDALO KFF Health News Around the end of last year, Ron- mel Rangel, 63, began to feel a famil- iar discomfort in his lower abdomen. Twenty-five years earlier, while living in his native Venezuela, he had under- gone surgery to repair a hernia on the right side of his groin. Now, the same pain had returned — on the left. This time, Rangel was in the Unit- ed States and lacked health insur- ance. In 2019, he moved to Portland, Maine, where one of his daughters lives. As a green-card holder, he quali- fied to purchase health insurance through the Affordable Care Act mar- ketplace. But he quickly realized that the premiums for someone his age were beyond his budget. He decided to go without insurance, even though it had been a priority for him. Instead, Rangel signed up for a plan at a concierge practice where patients pay as little as $70 per month for services including unlimited of- fice visits and minor procedures such as stitches and biopsies. But when Rangel was diagnosed with a hernia, surgery became un- avoidable.

Being able to speak and under- stand another tongue offers a form of mental stimulation, which keeps the brain active and sharp as we get older. In fact, researchers have found that being multilingual may delay dementia diagnoses and slow down how fast the brain ages. Unlike, say, music that someone may practice a few hours a day, the mental stimulation from language is “intense and constant,” said Ellen Bialystok, a distinguished research professor emeritus of psychology at York University in Canada, who has studied the effects of languages on the brain for more than five decades. Knowing more than one language — and practicing it often — is akin to constantly strength-training your brain. Being multilingual changes how your brain functions and how it’s structured. “If you are constantly using your brain for difficult, engaging and stimulating challenges, your brain will be healthier,” Bialystok said. see language on D6 BY JENNIFER FIELDS Small memory lapses are normal, but here’s when you should see a doctor Well+Being When forgetfulness becomes worrisome Washington Post illustration; iStock A t 74, Roz Garfinkel can still recall the hearing test results of some of the 300 children she worked with during her career as a school audiologist. What she can’t do as easily anymore is remember why she walked into a room. ¶ “It always throws me when I know I need something, but don’t know what it is,” she said. “Why the hell am I here?” ¶ Garfinkel first noticed these memory lapses when she retired around age 60, but said they’ve become more fre- quent over the last four years. Today, many of the things she once kept in her head live somewhere else: daily to-do lists, a calendar filled with medical and social ap- pointments, and pill organizers lined up on the dining room table. ¶ “I tend to think of these as normal aging things,” Garfinkel said. “But I guess I worry about it some.” ¶ She’s hardly alone. These small, everyday moments — misplacing your keys, losing your train of thought, forgetting a name or why you walked upstairs — are almost universal by midlife. They’re also anxiety-provoking, especially with growing awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. ¶ The reas- suring news is that many memory lapses have surprisingly ordinary explanations.

Also, lido- caine injections used to numb the skin were notably less effective for the women with red hair than for those with dark hair. Your alcohol, cannabis and opioid use Chronic alcohol and cannabis use can increase the amount of anesthetics needed during and after surgery, Sessler said. The same is true for regular use of prescription opioids and other medications for severe chronic pain. One reason this happens — with opioids, in particular — is because opioids bind to brain receptors that can become less responsive over time, meaning you need more medication to achieve the same effect. In such cases, “they’re going to need much higher doses” in the hospi- tal, Sessler said. Also, liver enzymes break down these substances so they improvement after down-train- ing for eight sessions, according to the journal Advances in Urolo- gy. How to know if your pelvic floor is tight Here are some signs that your pelvic floor muscles are tight and could benefit from relaxation. l Leaking urine when cough- ing, sneezing or laughing l Pain while peeing l Pain during sex l Pelvic, hip or low back pain that doesn’t clear with usual treatment l Constipation l Peeing frequently (more than every three hours) Some of these symptoms over- lap with the symptoms of pelvic floor weakness (leaking, pelvic or low back pain), which can be confusing. Tightness is more like- ly to be the issue if you’re experi- encing pain while peeing, pain during sex, constipation and/or frequent urination. Pay extra at- tention if you’re experiencing the above symptoms together, as clustered symptoms strongly sig- nal tightness. If you’re unsure, the best way to know whether you need regu- lar Kegels or reverse Kegels is to meet with a pelvic floor physical therapist who can do an in-office assessment and check for signs of tightness or weakness. Even just one or two sessions can give you the information you need to en- sure you’re taking the right ap- proach with your pelvic floor exercises. You can search on the Ameri- can Physical Therapy Association website to find a provider near you. How to do reverse Kegels correctly Step 1: Find a relaxed posi- tion. You can sit on a folded towel or lie on your back or side. Step 2: Squeeze up lightly, as if you’re holding pee. Don’t BY KIERA CARTER You probably heard you should be doing Kegels, those subtle muscle contractions that strengthen your pelvic floor and help prevent incontinence and pelvic pain. But as with any exer- cise, there are variations — for example, changing the speed and control of the movement — that have different effects. “When people think of the pelvic floor, they think of the squeezing motion of a Kegel, but there’s another side of the spec- trum that gets lost,” said Monica V. LoConti, a certified pelvic reha- bilitation practitioner and senior therapist at New York-Presbyteri- an Hudson Valley Hospital. When people are learning how to do Kegels, they are often told to tighten the muscles they use to hold in urine or stop passing gas. The opposite of that — and often equally or even more important — is what’s referred to as a “re- verse Kegel.” A healthy pelvic floor is all about balance. The pelvic floor muscles — which support organs in the pelvis such as the bladder, bowel, uterus and prostate — need to be strong to keep pee and poop in your body, but they also need to relax to let pee and poop out. “That’s how you’re going to get the best function of your body,” LoConti said. You start having problems when the mus- cles are too weak or too tight. Below, LoConti explains when reverse Kegels might be a better choice, and how to do them cor- rectly. What are reverse Kegels, and who needs them? “Reverse Kegels” isn’t a clinical term, but it’s an easy way to describe pelvic floor relaxation. If a traditional Kegel involves squeezing and lifting your pelvic floor muscles, then a reverse Keg- el is, well, the reverse. You might also see them referred to as “pel- vic floor drops,” or as a way to “down train” the muscles. “A simple way to think of it is allowing gas or urine to be re- leased,” LoConti said. “If you were holding it in and you finally were in an appropriate position to let it go, it’s just letting it go.” You could also imagine lowering a weight during a biceps curl in a slow, relaxed and controlled motion, not dropping it super fast. It’s the same concept, just using a differ- ent set of muscles. You should do reverse Kegels if your pelvic floor is tight, also known as a hypertonic pelvic floor. “A lot of people think, if I have a pelvic floor problem, I need to squeeze everything,” LoConti said. But that’s only helpful if your pelvic floor is weak. “If you have a tightness issue, strengthening exercises make it worse,” LoConti said. “If it’s just tight, tight, tight, it can never get to the point where it can relax enough to close and open appro- priately, so sometimes I have to cut people off Kegels.” Switching to reverse Kegels instead might be the answer for some. Research is limited, but small studies show that relaxation tech- niques can help with an overly tight pelvic floor. A Scientific Reports study found that a pro- gram that included down-train- ing, as defined by an extended relaxation period post-Kegel, im- proved symptoms of pelvic floor tightness after three months of work. And one patient with tight- ness-induced pelvic pain saw an squeeze super tight at the top or hold it for long. This is just to help you release the muscles in the next step. Step 3: Let go. Relax the mus- cles as if you’re peeing, but don’t push down forcefully. “Think of it more like relaxation and opening of the muscles versus bearing down,” LoConti said. Step 4: Repeat. Aim for 10 slow reps a day. You can do reverse Kegels at any time, but LoConti suggests adding this practice to your wind- down routine before bed. If counting reps isn’t the relaxing vibe you need before going to sleep, just aim for one or two minutes. If you have a tight pelvic floor, LoConti also suggests yoga and meditation, which can reduce tension all around. Calming pos- es such as happy baby, child’s pose and downward dog can relax the pelvic floor muscles, among others, she said, while reducing mental stress as well. This can be a great complement to your re- verse Kegels. “If you have pain, then you can’t overdo relaxation,” LoConti said. Why you might need reverse Kegels, according to pelvic floor therapists iStock There are multiple ways to do Kegels, and focusing your efforts on the wrong one can backfire. BY LINDSEY BEVER No one enjoys having surgery. But if you have to go under the knife, a chat with your anesthesi- ologist can help put your mind at ease and ensure you get the best medical care. It’s also a chance to ask about the medications your doctors plan to use — and the factors that can affect how much (or how little) anesthesia you’ll need. Your age, genetics and even your hair color can play an important role in how your body responds to anesthesia during surgery and pain medications after. That’s why it’s important to be completely honest about your medical history before any surgi- cal procedure, said Daniel I. Ses- sler, a professor of anesthesiology and vice president for clinical and outcomes research at the Univer- sity of Texas Health Science Cen- ter at Houston. If you smoke marijuana every day, for instance, “We don’t care. We’re not going to make a moral judgment about that. But we need to know to optimize your anes- thesia,” he said. We asked experts to explain some of the most common rea- sons people need more — or less — anesthesia and pain control. Here’s what they said. Your hair color Some procedures require only sedation. But when you need to be completely out, you’re given general anesthesia. This requires a carefully curated cocktail of medications that may include in- haled anesthetic gases or intrave- nous drugs to maintain uncon- sciousness, said Miles Berger, a neuroanesthesiologist and pro- fessor of anesthesiology, periop- erative and pain medicine at Stanford University. It also in- cludes medications to relieve pain and relax or immobilize muscles to prevent movement on the operating table. If you have naturally red hair, you may be more sensitive to certain types of pain. And in some cases, you may also need more anesthetics than non-redheads, research suggests. “We don’t exactly know the reason, but it is true,” said Sessler, who for decades has been study- ing the increased anesthetic re- quirements in people with natu- rally red hair. One theory is that variants in the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene in people with red hair alter signaling pathways that may influence how the body re- sponds to anesthetic drugs. In one study, Sessler and his colleagues found that healthy, redheaded women needed nearly 20 percent more of a common inhaled anesthetic to induce and maintain unconsciousness than women with dark hair. Their research also suggested that people with red hair may be more resistant to certain local anesthetics. In a separate study, Sessler and others measured pain can be more easily excreted. When you use them regularly, your body can become more effi- cient at breaking them down. That can make some medica- tions “much less effective at a given dose,” Sessler said, because your body breaks them down more quickly. Research has also shown a link between cannabis use and how much anesthesia and pain medi- cation you’ll need after the sur- gery. A 2024 study that looked at more than 1,600 cannabis users who were undergoing surgeries found that cannabis use was asso- ciated with higher pain scores and increased opioid use after surgery than those who didn’t use cannabis. Your age Younger, healthier adults may need more anesthesia than older people. As you age, you need less of the inhaled gases — roughly 6 percent less per decade after age 40, said Berger, who studies age- related changes in anesthetic re- quirements in older patients. Research is still emerging, and the reason is not entirely under- stood. But Berger said that he and other researchers think that when older people require unusu- ally low amounts of anesthesia, it may point to underlying brain or cognitive problems. Your overall health Research suggests people who are frail, have serious acute ill- nesses or infections such as sep- sis, or have cirrhosis, may require less anesthesia. And those with obstructive sleep apnea, a condi- tion in which a person’s airway collapses during sleep, may be at higher risk of breathing problems from opioid pain medications af- ter surgery. To reduce the need for opioids, anesthesiologists may suggest other approaches such as non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or, when appro- priate, regional analgesic tech- niques such as epidurals or nerve blocks to numb parts of the body. Knowing whether you have any factors that may affect your anesthesia needs helps your doc- tor guide management and gives you an effective and safe anes- thetic, Sessler said. But there’s no need to worry: Failing to tell your anesthesiolo- gist about your real hair color, cannabis use or chronic disease probably isn’t going to lead to disaster in the operating room. That’s because anesthesia isn’t applied using standardized dos- es. An anesthesiologist starts with an initial dose and tweaks it as needed based on your re- sponse, vital signs and, some- times, brain monitoring, then continually adjusts it throughout the procedure, Sessler said. “But everything an anesthesi- ologist knows about a patient combined with everything we monitor during anesthesia allows us to provide an optimal experi- ence,” he said. Having surgery? These 4 factors can influence your anesthesia and pain control. Photos by iStock Several surprising factors can affect how surgery patients respond to anesthesia and pain control. That’s why it’s important to be honest about your medical history. If you smoke marijuana daily, for instance, “We don’t care. We’re not going to make a moral judgment about that. But we need to know to optimize your anesthesia,” said Daniel I. Sessler, a professor of anesthesiology. If you have naturally red hair, you may be more sensitive to certain types of pain. And in some cases, you may also need more anesthetics than non-redheads, research suggests.

monday, august 3, 2026 . the washington post EZ EE D3 sunburn — and it tells you nothing about UVA. So presuming you also want UVA protection (as I do), you need to pick a sunscreen that specifically says “broad spectrum.” This means the sunscreen protects against both UVB and UVA. Go for the bigger bottle. SPF numbers are calculated assuming a specific, generous amount of product — about 2 grams per square centimeter of skin in lab testing. “If you’re not using the equivalent amount, you’re not getting the SPF sun protection that’s on the label,” Lester said. For your face, that roughly equates to a thick line of sunscreen along your pointer and middle finger. For your body, that means about the amount in a shot glass. This is why the experts I spoke with agree that the most important sunscreen is whichever one you’ll actually wear routinely — and not be precious with. As a surgeon who helps reconstruct skin affected by cancer, Lam finds the tougher spots to operate on are a few key forgotten areas: “Lips, the tops of ears and the scalp — especially if you’re thinning up top,” she said. What I want my patients to know For now, the main light to focus on in terms of skin damage is really from the sun — not, for example, the blue light emitted from our computers and smartphones. Skin damage from these devices is “theoretically possible but still understudied,” Lester said. Overall, my recommendation is to wear sunscreen every day, even if you’re going to be indoors. But you especially should remember to wear it if you’re going outside. “The amount of exposure that you’re getting outdoors is still orders of magnitude higher than what you’re getting indoors,” Lester said. SPF 30 is better than you may think. It feels like there should be a major upgrade when you buy something labeled SPF 50 or even 100. But actually, the difference isn’t particularly striking. “SPF 30 blocks about 97 percent of UVB. SPF 50 blocks about 98 percent,” Lam said. “That 1 percent jump is why I tell patients not to obsess over 30 versus 50.” If that’s news to you — you’re not alone. I didn’t learn this until medical school. Choose a broad-spectrum option. “SPF is the relative number of Joules of UV light needed to cause mild sunburn in sun protected skin versus sun unprotected skin,” said Jenna Lester, associate professor of dermatology and director of the Skin of Color Program at the University of California at San Francisco. This means that SPF just tells you about UVB, which causes containing ingredients like oxybenzone or avobenzone, or mineral, such as those containing ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Ordinary chemical sunscreen is largely ineffective against visible light. That’s why Lam recommends a mineral sunscreen with iron oxide — the ingredient that a 2015 randomized trial found helps block visible light and reduces recurrence of dark spots. (The study was supported by Laboratoire Bioderma, a skin care company.) Iron oxide is often used as a tint for mineral sunscreens. As someone with a darker skin tone myself, I’m only too familiar with the whitish-gray cast that many mineral sunscreens leave on my skin. So, at least for me, the addition of iron oxide as a tint is a win-win: It can help these sunscreens appear less obvious while also bolstering visible light protection. dermatology at Penn State Health. “It triggers pigment- producing cells more aggressively in darker skin types and can worsen dark spots.” An oft-cited 2010 study confirmed these effects: Researchers exposed people with various skin tones to both visible light and UVA. The scientists found that among people with darker skin tones, visible light actually produced darker and more persistent pigmentation than UVA did. Among volunteers with lighter skin, the same visible light exposure produced no observable pigmentation at all. 4 tips for picking an effective sunscreen Look for iron oxide, especially if you’re concerned about hyperpigmentation or dark spots. When you’re shopping for sunscreen, you’ll come across two main types: chemical, such as those “You’re still getting a decent amount of cumulative UVA exposure.” So, yes, I do wear sunscreen every day despite working indoors. I commute at least 45 minutes to my office each way. I also face a nice large window behind my computer screen when I’m there. So even though I don’t actually step foot outside most of the day (tragically), my skin is getting UVA rays for much of my indoor time. How light exposure affects your skin UVA rays can reach beneath our skin’s surface, which is why they play a big role in premature skin aging and wrinkle formation in addition to cancer. It turns out visible light may also impact our skin. “Visible light matters even more for people with melasma, hyperpigmentation or darker skin tones,” said Charlene Lam, an associate professor of Q: Is it true we’re supposed to wear sunscreen indoors even if we’re not going to be out in the sun? A: Yes, you should. I know that feels counterintuitive, but let’s start by pondering this question: Why do people in the United States tend to get more skin cancers on their left side, while people in Australia appear to get more sun damage on the right? The answer is UVA exposure while driving. As a brief reminder, visible light is the only light the human eye can see, as opposed to the shorter ultraviolet (UV) waves, which we can’t see. Standard window glass blocks most UVB — the rays that cause sunburn — but does little to stop visible light or UVA, which are known to accelerate skin aging. The clearest evidence for this comes from a 2011 study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, in which researchers analyzed more than 82,000 melanoma cases and roughly 2,400 Merkel cell carcinoma cases in the United States. Both cancers were slightly more common on the left side. In Australia, where drivers sit on the right side, older studies have found sun- damaged precancerous patches more commonly on the right. Experimental data on the glass used in luxury cars in 2003 found that a left-sided driver next to a closed car window receives five to six times more UV radiation on their left arm than the right. “Unless you’re in a box — in a box with no windows — you should still be wearing sunscreen on a daily basis,” said Temitayo Ogunleye, a professor of clinical dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. Why I wear sunscreen indoors, plus tips for buying one that’s right for you Ask A Doctor Trisha Pasricha iStock People in the United States tend to get more skin cancers on their left side because of UVA exposure while driving. or a new psychiatric illness such as a depression diagnosis for the first time. “Neurodegenerative diseas- es can present with symptoms other than memory, too,” Huey said. A doctor can run some tests to separate out normal aging issues from dementia, and a third cate- gory called mild cognitive impair- ment, or MCI, which sits between the two and describes when a per- son has cognitive issues but can still function day-to-day. MCI is affected by lots of things from your thyroid to sleep apnea, said Chin. Some people with MCI may go on to develop dementia, but some may not. “So it’s a very good stage to identify and treat people,” said Chin. “It’s a huge opportunity for lifestyle interventions.” Research suggests that even modest lifestyle interventions — such as regular exercise, a MIND- style diet, health monitoring, cog- nitive challenges and social en- gagement — can improve brain health. Getting help with any sleep con- cerns and treatment for mental health issues can also go a long way. “Untreated depression can look a lot like dementia,” Vasan said. “And if you need hearing aids, please get them.” One study showed the devices cut the risk of cognitive decline in high risk older adults by almost 50 percent. Chin also suggested taking steps to reduce stress along with doing mentally stimulating activi- ties to help “firm the networks of your brain.” You don’t have to learn a new language or instru- ment, he said. “You could do puz- zles, word games or play cards with friends.” There are some new Alzheim- er’s drugs that show promise, but you’re only eligible for them in the earliest stages of the disease, said Huey. Too often, he said, he sees patients when they’re missing ap- pointments and getting lost. By then, it’s too late for those medica- tions. Garfinkel has already incorpo- rated many of the above habits into her life. She exercises five days a week, has a mostly healthy diet and knits every day, deliber- ately choosing patterns that teach her new techniques. Every eve- ning she winds down with a word game. Each year, her doctor gives her a five-word recall test. This is the first year she’s gotten one wrong. Her doctor isn’t concerned and ultimately neither is Garfinkel — for now. She’s doing what she can to keep her brain healthy, and accepting that occasionally walk- ing into a room and forgetting why may just be a part of getting older. pathic Medicine. But there are plenty of reasons middle-aged adults, especially those with chil- dren and busy, stressful jobs both inside and outside the home, may not be sleeping well either, he said. Studies suggest that chronic sleep deprivation and sleep disor- ders such as insomnia and un- treated sleep apnea can all inter- fere with the memory-cementing process, making it harder to learn, concentrate, pay attention and re- member information. Health issues can affect memory, too Hormonal changes during peri- menopause and menopause are one important example. The hip- pocampus and prefrontal cortex — brain regions involved in mem- ory and executive function — con- tain large numbers of estrogen receptors. As estrogen levels de- cline, women often notice slower thinking and more frequent word- finding problems, said Vasan. Menopause can also affect mood, which influences how effi- ciently the brain processes and retrieves information, said Ted Huey, associate director of Brown’s Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research and director of the Memory and Aging Program at Butler Hospital. Other conditions that could in- terfere with memory include ADHD, depression, untreated hearing loss, thyroid disorders and vitamin B12 deficiency. Drug side effects can also play a role. When to see a doctor about forgetfulness How do you know when forget- fulness has crossed the line into something more serious? Chin said he looks for three things: l Is the symptom happening constantly — not just once in a while, but multiple times a day? l Does it persist despite the work-arounds you’ve put in place? If you’ve started placing your keys in the same bowl by the door, for example, and you’re still regularly losing them, that’s a concern. l Is it causing significant dis- tress or interfering with daily life? Experts are also interested in what you’re forgetting. There’s a difference between losing your train of thought mid-conversation and forgetting the entire conver- sation happened, which is more serious. Even if you’re feeling reassured that some forgetfulness isn’t a red flag, Huey still encourages people to mention any concerns to their health care provider — especially when it happens alongside sud- den or extreme changes in your vision, sleep or executive function, Normal age-related memory changes Some slower thinking and trou- ble with recall is simply part of getting older. “I tend to tell my patients in their 60s and 70s that, unfortu- nately, your brain is not function- ing at the same level as it used to,” said Nathaniel Chin, geriatrician and medical director of the Wis- consin Alzheimer’s Disease Re- search Center. “If those symptoms are subtle and occasional and you’re still functioning well over- all, there’s a good chance that what you’re noticing isn’t something pathologic,” he said. If you’re still managing your finances, keeping appointments and navigating familiar places, oc- casional forgetfulness that’s only a little bothersome is much less con- cerning than memory problems that interfere with everyday life, said Chin. Are you forgetful, or just distracted? Often what we call forgetful- ness isn’t a memory issue at all: It’s an attention problem. Modern life constantly divides our focus between work, family, caregiving responsibilities and an endless mental to-do list. Add to that nonstop interruptions from device notifications and alerts. This can make it difficult for our brains to process and retain infor- mation effectively. That’s because memories have to be encoded before they can be retrieved, explained Nina Vasan, clinical assistant professor of psy- chiatry at Stanford University and the founder and director of Brain- storm: The Stanford Lab for Men- tal Health Innovation. When you’re distracted, “the memory never gets written down,” she said. “Then you go hunting for something that was never saved properly and you decide your memory is the problem.” The connection between poor sleep and memory Another important thing to consider is how well you’re sleep- ing. During sleep, the brain con- solidates short-term memories into long-term ones. Research suggests even one night of fewer than six hours of sleep can impair memory formation. People in their 60s and 70s tend to have more disrupted sleep and get up more often during the night, said Brian J.

D4 EZ EE the washington post . monday, august 3, 2026 decade, incidence in young peo- ple has steadily climbed, rising by 3 percent annually for those ages 20 to 49. In the 20-to-39 group, rates have doubled in the past 35 years. Meanwhile, the average age of first pregnancy has also gone up during this time, with women over 30 accounting for over half of births in 2023, compared to just 30 percent in 1990. As pregnancy shifts later and CRC moves earli- er, “there’s been a crossover be- tween the two,” said Nancy You, director of the young-onset col- orectal cancer program at the University of Texas MD Anderson center. How pregnancy-associated colorectal cancer can evade diagnosis Of all people diagnosed with CRC under 50 — including those who are pregnant or postpartum — 75 percent will get diagnosed at either Stage 3 (when cancer has spread to the lymph nodes) or Stage 4 (when it’s metastasized to a nearby organ), which are harder cancers to cure. Data on the stage of diagnosis for pregnancy-asso- ciated CRC, in particular, is limit- ed but suggests a similar propor- tion of late-stage diagnoses, with nearly half at Stage 4. CRC symptoms can be easy to miss in pregnancy because many mirror those of pregnancy itself or issues that frequently appear during it. For starters, bowel changes happen in pregnancy for a variety of reasons, including stress, shifts in eating habits and the fact that the growing fetus can get in the way of the bowels moving, You said. Resulting constipation and straining to pass stool, along with the weight of the fetus on the pelvic floor, ups the risk of hemor- rhoids, said Kimmie Ng, founding director of the Young-Onset Col- orectal Cancer Center at Dana- Farber Cancer Institute. Anemia is also common during pregnancy because of the elevat- ed demand for red blood cells to supply the placenta. And abdomi- nal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and fatigue are all CRC symptoms that are easily attributable to pregnancy too, Ng said. Even postpartum, symptoms may be ascribed to the fallout of pregnancy and childbirth. Marisa Peters was 33 with an 18-month-old son when she start- ed to have intermittent bowel changes, low energy and ribbons of blood in her stool. When she told her doctor, he essentially said, “Your body is not going to be the same after you’ve had a baby, and you probably have hemor- rhoids,” Peters said. It was the same refrain for nearly six years, including two more pregnancies, until the symptoms began to af- fect her daily life. “I was grabbing my youngest’s diapers in the car and shoving them down my pants for fear that I wouldn’t make it to a bathroom,” Peters said. Suspecting a gut health issue, her doctor referred her to a gastroenterologist, who would ultimately diagnose her with Stage 3 rectal cancer. The challenges of treating colorectal cancer during and after pregnancy Treating CRC during pregnan- cy involves balancing what’s best for the mother and fetus, which requires multiple providers in- cluding the OB/GYN, gastroen- terologist, surgeon and medical oncologist, You said. The best route depends on the stage of the cancer and the preg- nancy trimester. Early-stage col- orectal cancers can often be fully cured with surgery, Fakih said. It’s also the only viable intervention in the first trimester (when other treatments threaten the forma- tion of the fetus), though risk is considered lowest in the second trimester, when the fetus is most- ly developed. Operating late in pregnancy could up the chance of preterm labor. For more advanced disease, treatment decisions get trickier and differ between colon and rec- tal cancer. Treating late-stage co- lon cancer generally requires che- motherapy; surgery is often not possible or successful with dis- ease that’s spread to other organs, Fakih said. For rectal cancers beyond Stage 1 — which account for most pregnancy-associated CRC cases and have a high risk of local recurrence — the typical recom- see cancer on D5 cochlea is a tiny structure in the inner ear containing sensory hair cells essential for hearing. Treatment within seven days of symptom onset gives you the best chance of recovery. The sooner you treat it, though, the better the outcome will be, Deep said. The most common treatment is a short course of high-dose oral prednisone, a powerful steroid that works by reducing inflam- mation, to give the inner ear the best opportunity to recover, Deep explained. Steroid injections through the eardrum and hyper- baric oxygen therapy may also be recommended if the initial dose of oral steroids doesn’t complete- ly restore hearing. The signs are often easy to miss. “Hearing loss is a lack of stimulus,” Deep explained. “You don’t know what you don’t hear.” Many people might also dis- miss the symptoms, chalk them up to something minor — like a cold or allergies — and assume they need to just wait for things to get better, Deep said. Navigating the medical system can also be intimidating, leading people to put off seeing a doctor, said Meaghan Reed, an audiolo- gist at Mass Eye and Ear. Subtle signs of sudden hearing loss to look out for Sudden sensorineural hearing loss isn’t always an obvious loss of hearing. It might feel like ear fullness or pressure, or like your ear needs to pop after a flight or a drive through the mountains. It also might appear as a subtle change in sound quality or as a distortion in certain frequencies rather than a volume decrease. Voices may be loud enough to hear but difficult to understand. Everyday sounds may seem muf- fled or like you’re underwater. It can also become harder to distin- guish where sounds are coming from because your brain relies on both ears to pinpoint direction. Since sudden sensorineural hearing loss often affects only one ear, and the unaffected ear can compensate a bit, some people don’t notice a change until they plug their better-hearing ear, said Deep. Reed experienced sudden sen- sorineural hearing loss and re- covered with prednisone. In de- scribing her symptoms, she said that “sounds became very robotic and unnatural” in her impacted ear. “If I was not an audiologist, I don’t know that I would have gone in to see a physician about it, because mine was actually a rela- tively mild low frequency loss, and I might have just thought my ear was clogged or plugged and I just couldn’t get it to pop open.” About 80 to 90 percent of people with sudden hearing loss also experience tinnitus, which may sound like ringing, buzzing, BY ALISON KARLENE HODGINS One morning, you wake up and your ear feels plugged. Or maybe you hear a loud “pop.” You might answer the phone and realize the caller sounds farther away than usual. You could notice a new ringing in one ear or begin to feel dizzy. Any of these experiences may seem harmless or temporary. And oftentimes, they are. Common causes of muffled hearing include a buildup of earwax, ear or sinus infection, congestion from a cold or allergies, pressure changes and age- or noise-related hearing loss. But these symptoms could also signal a medical emergency that many people don’t recognize — known as sudden sensorineural hearing loss. I experienced this myself at 32. One evening, a sudden ringing started blaring in the right side of my head. When I held my phone up to my right ear, the person on the other end sounded like they were underwater. Still, I didn’t realize I had actually lost hearing. I sought medical attention for the ringing within 48 hours, but the doctor prescribed a nasal spray, which didn’t help. Here’s what I wish I’d known beforehand, so that I could have advocated for myself and re- ceived emergency treatment sooner. When a plugged ear is something worse Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a rapid decline in hearing, happening all at once or develop- ing over the course of a few days. It’s a potentially reversible condi- tion that is distinct from hearing loss caused by aging, noise expo- sure or earwax — but it requires prompt treatment for the greatest likelihood of recovery. “It’s an emergency,” said Nicho- las Deep, a Mayo Clinic neurotol- ogist. Not unlike treating a heart attack or stroke, he said, but “in this case, the organ is the cochlea, not the heart or the brain.” The humming or another phantom noise in the ear and can be ex- tremely distressing. Tinnitus is widely accepted as the brain’s response to hearing loss, Deep said. “It’s the brain trying to reconcile why there’s not some- thing there and trying to put something in that place.” New tinnitus could indicate a hearing change, especially when it’s in only one ear. Reed said the tinnitus is actual- ly what leads many people to seek care, not the hearing loss itself. “Sometimes we do a hearing test and people think they’re not do- ing well on the hearing test be- cause of the ringing.” Another sign of sudden sen- sorineural hearing loss is dizzi- ness or vertigo, which can range from mild unsteadiness to a spin- ning sensation severe enough to induce vomiting. This could indi- cate inflammation affecting the inner ear’s hearing and balance systems, said Deep. What to do if you experience these symptoms “You know your body best,” said Lisa Houston Wenstrup, an audiologist at the University of Cincinnati. If something sudden- ly seems off with your hearing, don’t assume it will go away on its own — get it checked. An ear, nose and throat doctor (ENT) or audiologist can perform a diagnostic hearing evaluation, but if you can’t get an urgent appointment, Deep said you may need to go to the ER, explain the sudden hearing loss and ask to be evaluated. “You want to really emphasize the sudden portion,” he said. “Most ENTs in the coun- try and audiologists always have spots for sudden-hearing-loss pa- tients because we all recognize it as an emergency.” Primary care doctors can per- form a tuning fork test to help distinguish sensorineural hear- ing loss from conductive hearing loss, which is treated differently. However, “sudden sensorineural hearing loss is invisible,” Reed said, so it’s possible a clinician may look in the ear and see slight redness, mistake the problem for an ear infection and prescribe antibiotics, which will not help. If you’re unsure what you’re experiencing, there’s a quick at- home hum test you can try, Deep and Reed said. If you hum and hear it louder in the ear that isn’t experiencing symptoms, this might suggest a sensorineural hearing loss. However, this is just a clue — not a diagnosis. Free online hearing tests, found through a quick Google search, may give you more moti- vation and evidence to seek treat- ment right away, Reed said, but a detailed hearing assessment is needed to identify the type and extent of hearing loss. Even with rapid treatment, some people may have lasting hearing loss, while others recover spontaneously without treat- ment. In about 90 percent of cases, doctors cannot identify a specific cause for sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Researchers have proposed several theories, includ- ing disrupted blood flow to the cochlea, viral injury, inflamma- tion or an abnormal immune response. “It can happen to any- body,” said Deep. “There’s noth- ing you could have done to pre- vent this,” Wenstrup said. For those who don’t recover their hearing, it’s normal to feel fear, grief and anger. “You’re los- ing half of a sense. It’s scary,” Wenstrup said. If you miss the treatment win- dow, “don’t beat yourself up,” she added. “We’re all navigating this difficult health care system the best that we can.” Two years after the onset of my symptoms, my hearing has not recovered, and my tinnitus re- mains constant. I don’t know if earlier treatment would have helped restore my hearing. Still, I wish I’d had the knowledge and information that I do now and hope others seek prompt treat- ment for the best chance of avoid- ing the difficulties of permanent hearing loss. Well+Being These subtle changes in hearing might warrant a trip to the emergency room iStock Sudden hearing loss is often harmless and temporary, but in some cases, it’s a medical emergency. BY ERICA SLOAN In July 2022, Sage Collins, now 35, had bowel issues at a friend’s wedding, ducking into the bath- room all night long. When she found out she was pregnant the next month, she attributed her GI troubles to fluctuating hormones. By the fall, blood was streaking her stool, so she made a doctor’s appointment. Her bloodwork came back normal, with the ex- ception of anemia — common in pregnancy. As Collins’s pregnancy pro- gressed, so did her rectal bleed- ing, at one point sending her to the hospital, where she was given iron infusions. During labor, the blood loss from her rectum was enough to set off alarm bells. A nurse told Collins a gastroenter- ologist would visit her before she left the hospital, but no one stopped by. The bleeding persist- ed postpartum, and weight fell off her. “It got so bad that I remember lying in [my son] Asher’s play- room with him when he was 6 or 7 months old, and I was so uncom- fortable because I had to keep running to the bathroom,” she said. “I was like, ‘This is no way for me to parent or go through life.’” Collins made an appointment with her primary care physician who ordered the colonoscopy that would lead to a diagnosis of Stage 4 rectal cancer, in March 2024, nearly two years after she first experienced symptoms. The mass was the size of a golf ball, and the cancer had spread to her liver. Data from Australia suggests cases of pregnancy-associated colorectal cancer (which arise during pregnancy or in the first year postpartum) have increased by about 6 percent each year from 1994 to 2013. There’s no evidence that pregnancy itself increases susceptibility, said Marwan Fak- ih, division chief of GI medical oncology at cancer center City of Hope. And that’s still a very small number of cases total — it affects about 1 in 13,000 pregnancies, Fakih said. But the increasing overlap of pregnancy and colorectal cancer poses unique risks because of how it can delay diagnosis and complicate care. Experts say the rise in cases of pregnancy-associated CRC large- ly reflects a broader trend: an uptick in younger people. A 2026 report from the American Cancer Society shows that while rates of colorectal cancer have dropped in people over age 65 in the past Well+Being Colorectal cancer is on the rise, and often overlooked, in this surprising group Courtesy of Sage Collins Sage Collins, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 rectal cancer in March 2024, holds a “No More Chemo” sign.

monday, august 3, 2026 . the washington post EZ EE D5 doctor, but only because I told her to. When should most of us start thinking about our fall risk? Probably now. We always think our elderly neighbor is the only one prone to falling. But for most of us, we’re at the top of our fitness, strength and balance up to age 30 and then everything in your body starts to decline. By the age of 50, we know the risk of falling starts to go up, especially for those who are sedentary or taking many medications. A basic question, but why do older people typically fall in the first place? For a healthy young person without any disabilities, it takes a what she’d always done: go on long walks and do the other things she loved. Are there lessons in that experience for the rest of us? For sure. One is that, at least once a year for an older person, there should be a medication assessment review. Maybe the physician can look at alternatives or different dosages. Another is to be honest. My mother didn’t want to tell the cardiologist she was falling. People often won’t say anything because they’re afraid they’ll be put in a care home or think it’s just part of aging. But the physician or carer isn’t going to know what’s going on if you don’t tell them. In the end, my mother did tell the prevention? They are and I do. Some years ago, my mother had problems with dizziness and even losing consciousness and falling. Her cardiologist was giving her medication and was really, really happy with her low blood pressure. But what happened was that sometimes, especially at night, it was so low when she got up that she would fall or faint. This was hard for me, because, even for someone in the health care field, you don’t want to overrule somebody else. It took some time and discussion with the cardiologist to find the right doses and types of medications for my mom, but in the end, we did. And that really changed everything. She could again do well+being I mostly did strength exercises, like push-ups, but now I also do balance training in my morning routine. There are many ways to incorporate balance training into your day. Stand on one leg when you’re brushing your teeth. I do that. It’s a good one. Also practice getting up from the floor. Which is hard, by the way. And I need reading glasses now but won’t get bifocals because I’ve seen so many people fall because of them. What about wearables? I have a smartwatch that can alert someone if I fall. Is that a good idea? Absolutely. If you’re alone and fall, that’s a way to get help. But we also know that after a first fall, especially with an injury, some people get really fearful about another, which can limit their social activities and what they do outside. That can have a big impact on their health and quality of life. A wearable can be a way to feel more secure about going out and doing things. It’s also a way for carers to be less frightened. Because if I can give one piece of advice to carers, it’s don’t stop your loved one from moving about and doing things. The worst thing you can do is get them in that circle of inactivity, losing muscle strength, losing balance. Then their fall risk is even higher. Whatever your age, the key to avoiding falls is to stay active. Find something you enjoy doing, whether it’s walking or cycling or whatever, and just keep doing it. Don’t lose your strength and balance because getting them back is so much harder than keeping them. It’s also important to tell your physician what is important for you. There have been studies showing many older people say staying independent is more important to them than anything, even staying alive. Your physician should know what’s important to you and your quality of life. Do you have a fitness question? Email YourMove@washpost.com and we may answer your question in a future column. major disturbance to trip and fall and land hard. But in older people, much smaller disturbances end in falls and injuries. Medications make them dizzy or arthritis makes their mobility worse or they’re wearing inappropriate footwear or they have poor vision. A fall in an older person could also be a symptom of an underlying condition, such as cardiovascular disease, which should be evaluated. You mentioned footwear and vision. Are there simple ways to reduce fall risk at home? Don’t have unnecessary hazards. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has checklists online for what to do around the house. Use nonslip footwear. Check the lighting. Drink enough fluids. Avoid alcohol. Don’t stand up too quickly. Get your vision corrected if needed. Cataracts influence fall risk. But be careful with bifocals. If you wear them outside and need to climb stairs or step onto or off a curb, you usually look through the reading part of the lenses and don’t have good depth perception. We know people who use regular glasses outside instead of bifocals fall less. What about exercise? Mobility is the most important treatable fall risk factor, and exercise is the best way to stay mobile. Work on your strength, work on your balance, and keep a good general level of fitness. Go for walks. There are also supervised exercise programs designed to help the elderly prevent falls. A really famous one is Otago [developed by the New Zealand Falls Prevention Research Group] or StrollSafe [developed at New York University]. But there are others. Ask at a local senior center. An older person should have a full physical assessment before joining any exercise program. How can the rest of us exercise to prevent falls? What do you do? I’m taking my own advice. Before, A single fall can define how we’ll age, representing a key “inflection point in later life,” according to a study of 2,454 men and women ages 65 or older, published last month in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. About 20 percent of the people in the study experienced a first fall within two years of joining the study. For many, that fall’s effects lingered for months or years, nearly tripling their chances of needing ongoing care, either at home or in a facility, and making future falls more likely to cause fractures and lead to emergency room visits. That inaugural fall often initiated a persistent downward “domino effect” on older people’s health and quality of life, the study concluded. Which is why Nathalie van der Velde, one of the study’s authors, is so intent on lessening the impacts — literal and figurative — of falls among older people. A professor of geriatric medicine and falls prevention at the Amsterdam University Medical Center in the Netherlands, she studies and works with older people at risk of falling, co-chairs an international group of scientists writing the World Guidelines for Falls Prevention and Management and is a founding member of the World Falls Prevention Society. To learn more about falls and how to avoid them, I caught up with van der Velde to talk about how older people can make their homes safer, when to do a medication audit, at what age fall risks rise — spoiler: decades before 65 — and why, having turned 51 this year, she stands on one foot while brushing her teeth and avoids bifocals outside. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Can I start by asking about your parents? Are they living? Do you advise them about fall Here’s what an expert on accidental falls does every day to prevent them Your Move Gretchen Reynolds Courtesy of Nathalie van der Velde Nathalie van der Velde, a leading expert in aging at the Amsterdam University Medical Center, says staying active is key for preventing falls as you age. Here, she helps a patient at the center’s falls clinic. may limit CRC risk at any point — being physically active, eating a nutritious diet, limiting alcohol intake, not smoking — may be especially important to consider in the years before conceiving, Ng said. Being aware of family history is also key, as it might qualify you for earlier screening, perhaps even before pregnancy, she said. That said, many young CRC patients are healthy and do not have a family history. This makes it critical to surface any suspi- cious symptoms — such as bloody stools, bowel changes and belly pain — to your doctor, Ng said, even if they could be explained by pregnancy or postpartum. Be Seen, a nonprofit that Peters founded in the wake of her treat- ment, and the Colorectal Cancer Alliance offer resources on advo- cating for yourself and being tak- en seriously by your doctor. The gold-standard test for CRC is a colonoscopy, which can be done safely in pregnancy but is reserved for scenarios of high suspicion because the anesthesia and procedure carry risks for the fetus, said David Greenwald, a gastroenterologist at Mount Sinai Health System. Last summer, Collins had rec- tal surgery to remove a spot of recurrence. When she woke up, she found that a nurse had writ- ten “Asher’s super mommy” on a piece of medical tape securing an ice pack. She feels so lucky, she said, to still be playing that role and to be an example for her son “of what it means to go through something really challenging and come out on the other side.” to shift the sequence of care, Ng said, for instance starting with chemo, and then continuing post- partum with radiation and sur- gery. In some cases, women might also deliver early to more quickly begin treatment, You said. Treatment postpartum can also take a different trajectory in those who’d like to have more children. Chemo could affect fer- tility, though mostly in women who are mid-30s or older, Fakih said. Pelvic radiation, however, causes sterility. So, some people might first opt to freeze eggs or embryos or have surgery to shift the ovaries up and out of the path of radiation. Reducing your risk of colorectal cancer surrounding pregnancy The same healthy habits that mendation involves chemothera- py and radiation before surgery. Preoperative treatment helps kill tumor cells and sterilize nearby blood vessels to limit the risk of regrowth postsurgery, You ex- plained. The problem is, chemotherapy is only recommended during the second or third trimester, and pelvic radiation is dangerous throughout pregnancy, Fakih said. So that can leave women diagnosed with late-stage CRC in the first trimester with the often emotionally and sometimes legal- ly complicated (depending on where they live) decision of either ending the pregnancy to begin treatment, or delaying care and jeopardizing their health.

D6 EZ EE the washington post . monday, august 3, 2026 partially reflects the higher over- head costs of operating a hospital. Hagopian, Rangel’s physician, acknowledged that hospitals have higher administrative ex- penses. “But that doesn’t explain the high costs.” MaineHealth declined to com- ment, directing questions about the hospital-based procedure’s cost to Jeffrey Austin, president of the Maine Hospital Associa- tion. Austin said that, unlike sur- gery centers, hospitals must ab- sorb the costs of providing “mon- ey-losing” services, such as be- havioral health care and care for Medicaid patients. He added that revenue generated by large hospi- tals in a health system supports other facilities, improving access to care. Hospital prices, which can vary widely, are also driven by negotia- tions with insurers and market concentration. For uninsured pa- tients, those list prices can be- Andes in Santiago, Chile, where another of his daughters lives. There, his hernia repair would have cost about $7,000, but once he added thousands of dollars in travel expenses, that option no longer made financial sense. Gerard Anderson, a professor who analyzes health care spend- ing at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said patients without health insurance are often the ones hit hardest by wide price variations. A closer look at any hospital bill helps explain why. “Every hospital is different,” he said, “but generally about half of the total charge is the facility fee,” a charge added to hospital care to help cover overhead costs. Anderson said hospitals often mark up prices far more than smaller facilities do. Medical billing researchers say the price gap between hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers speak, the stronger the protec- tion or the more youthful your neurocognitive profile looks like,” Amoruso said. Speaking just one language, on the other hand, was linked to about double the risk of acceler- ated aging. However, this research ana- lyzed differences across coun- tries, not people. So in a follow- up study, Amoruso and her col- leagues created brain-age clocks using electrical brain activity data from 728 people. The re- search, recently presented at the Federation of European Neuro- science Societies conference but not yet peer-reviewed, found that people who spoke two or three languages had brains that looked six years younger. Those that is present and is normal in aging.” Brains that look ‘younger’ Researchers had evidence that speaking more than one lan- guage can make your brain more efficient. But could it also make your brain younger? To find out, Amoruso and her colleagues trained machine learning models with imaging and biological data from more than 86,000 people. In the study, published last year in Nature Aging, they found that, across 27 European coun- tries, countries with more spo- ken languages were associated with slower brain aging. There was a dose-response, meaning that “the more languages you ly if there are pathological changes that can cause condi- tions such as Alzheimer’s dis- ease. A more efficient brain could keep working longer despite the slowdowns that come with age or disease, she said. At the same time, knowing another language seems to keep different brain networks distinct and specialized. These networks are made up of different, tightly connected brain regions that work together on certain func- tions. With aging, “the boundar- ies between your brain networks start to blur,” Amoruso said. There may be a mechanism in “multilingualism that is main- taining your brain network seg- regated,” she said. “So it’s a way to fight against cognitive decline had overall less, but more fo- cused, activity at rest. Other research finds a similar pattern when multilingual peo- ple are given simple attention tests: They had less brain activa- tion compared with monolingual people performing the same tasks, suggesting that knowing more languages made their brains more efficient. “The electrophysiological ac- tivity in the bilinguals’ brains is less active, less bothered. It’s easier. You don’t have to ramp up as much to get to the same level. So there’s something about this that speaks to efficiency,” Bia- lystok said. Increased brain efficiency — an improvement in functionality — is important in aging, especial- who spoke four had brains that looked 13 years younger. Interestingly, the more similar the languages someone knows, the larger the brain protection they get, potentially because the brain needs to work harder to distinguish and switch between them, Amoruso said. The link between languages and dementia Knowing more languages seems to increase cognitive re- serve, which is the brain’s ability to adapt and compensate despite age- or disease-related biological changes. People who are bilingual have more delayed dementia diagno- ses compared with people who speak one language, and they are able to function longer even if they have advanced Alzheimer’s pathology, research shows. “You get like four or five years where they’re functional. And their brains look like Alzheimer’s brains, but clinically it’s not interfering with their functional- ity,” said Bialystok, who wrote a 2021 review on how bilingualism contributes to increased cogni- tive reserve. How to learn a new language Learning a new language has many benefits in addition to cognitive ones, even if you don’t become fluent. “It allows you to speak to people you might not have been able to speak to, or travel to places you might have been resis- tant,” Bialystok said. “So it’s an opening experience, not a clos- ing experience.” It’s also never too late to start. Some research suggests that learning languages later in life can improve memory and cogni- tive flexibility. The level of cognitive boost goes hand-in-hand with the work you put into it. “My view is the longer the better, the more in- tense the better,” Bialystok said. “The more proficient the better.” There is no single approach to language learning. You can more formally study in a class or through an app, such as Duolin- go or Rosetta Stone. Websites such as Italki and Verbling can help connect you with online tutors. These lessons can be accompanied by watching shows or listening to music in that language, which will help you be more familiar with the sounds. But the key to language is using it, Bialystok said in an email. “I think an approach that includes a component of conver- sation, especially interactions with a native speaker, is most effective.” “And learning a language is hard, and that makes it worthwhile.” How languages change the brain If you know several languages, your brain has them “on” all the time, even when you aren’t speaking them. For people who are bilingual, there are cortical areas in the brain’s language network that respond to both languages. But within that large area, there are specific regions that respond to only one language, said Lucia Amoruso, deputy scientific direc- tor and leader of the group of neurobiology of language at the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language in Spain. While you speak or listen in one language, “the other lan- guage is also active in your brain. It’s not sleeping,” said Amoruso, who noted that she needed to suppress Spanish, her first lan- guage, as she responded in Eng- lish. (Amoruso also speaks French and Italian from living in different European countries throughout her career.) As a result, multilingual brains are constantly monitoring what they’re hearing and saying, assessing for the languages they know. “There is no language switch,” Bialystok said. That’s why people who speak several languages may be better at controlling their attention, focusing on what is relevant and ignoring distracting informa- tion, research shows. This monitoring occurs very early in life. Seven-month-old infants growing up in bilingual households can already tell when languages switch. They also per- form better on certain attention tests than infants living in mono- lingual households. The constant challenge of ­paying attention, distinguishing and deciding what language to use — and not use — seems to train the brain, building more resilience. “You get a brain that has been exposed to this more complex linguistic environment and de- velop the attentional resources or whatever it needs to cope,” Bialystok said. “And so, as life goes on and brain stuff happens, it’s more resilient.” A more efficient brain In one study, Bialystok and her colleagues used EEGs to measure brain electrical activity in people who speak two languages com- pared with those who speak one. They found that bilingual people language from D1 Knowing more than one language changes how your brain is structured Illustration by George Wylesol/For The Washington Post profit hospital close to home. He scheduled a consultation with a surgeon with MaineHealth, the state’s largest health system, and received an estimate showing it would cost approximately $23,000 to repair his hernia lap- aroscopically. Laparoscopic procedures gen- erally cost more because sur- geons use more advanced tools. Still, the average laparoscopic in- guinal hernia repair costs nearly twice as much at a hospital as it does at an ambulatory surgery center for a patient covered by Medicare, which pays $5,280 for the hospital-based option. “I wasn’t going to mortgage my life just to have surgery and spend the next 30 years paying off the debt,” said Rangel, now 64. So, he kept shopping. He con- sidered a surgical center in Okla- homa that was far cheaper, but he ultimately ruled it out because it was so far away. He also explored traveling to Universidad de los “With the help of their primary physicians, patients can dig into prices and compare their options to avoid falling into medical debt,” Rangel said. That approach, however, is most feasible for elective proce- dures with several surgical op- tions offering comparable out- comes. Patients facing medical emer- gencies do not have the luxury of comparing prices before seeking care, though many hospitals offer cash-pay discounts or charity care for those paying without insurance. Billing analysts say patients who do have time to shop should look beyond cost alone. They recommend checking the quality of hospitals and surgical centers by reviewing publicly available ratings and patient reviews. Re- search has found that higher pric- es do not necessarily translate into a better quality of care, but it’s also important to select a reputable care provider. Comparison shopping for medical care can be time-con- suming. But for patients facing elective procedures, the effort can pay off — sometimes saving thou- sands of dollars. “This was a learning experi- ence for me,” Rangel said, “and I hope it will be for other people, too.” Bill of the Month is a crowdsourced investigation by KFF Health News and The Washington Post’s Well +Being that dissects and explains medical bills.

Anderson noted that standard- ized payment rates exist for Medi- care and Medicaid but not for most privately priced medical services. “In the private sector, providers can charge whatever they want.” The resolution Rangel has another daughter in Argentina, a son in Venezuela and other family in Spain. But he decided to stop looking around the globe for a good price, be- cause he finally found what he was looking for in Maryland. In April, he traveled to the Affordable Hernia Surgery center in Rockville, where he said “an efficient, well-coordinated sys- tem” guided him through the entire process. “I received professional and very human care,” Rangel said. He was fully recovered within two weeks, as his surgeon predicted, he said. The surgery center charged Rangel a flat fee for his hernia repair. The added travel expenses for the two-day trip with his wife went toward airline tickets, transportation, meals and one night in a hotel. Rangel said he paid about $4,700 total. Alan Kravitz, the surgeon who performed Rangel’s operation, said the price difference unin- sured patients face compared with insured patients is far from fair. “In the predatory and strate- gic world of U.S. health care pricing, uninsured patients gen- erally get charged more than pro- viders would accept from Medi- care or commercial insurance.” Kravitz then pulled out an esti- mate another patient had re- ceived for an inguinal hernia repair from a different large health system. The price: $37,000. The takeaway Without insurance, many pa- tients are on their own to negoti- ate. list of hospitals and surgical cen- ters to consider. Rangel has a PhD in management, a field he pur- sued while serving in the navy in Venezuela. So armed with that knowledge and a naturally in- quisitive mind, he began re- searching prices. His efforts paid off when the bill came. The medical service Rangel had what is called an inguinal hernia, which occurs when the contents of the abdo- men bulge through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall. The condition is relatively common, particularly among older adults. In most cases, surgery is re- quired to fix the muscle wall and can be performed as an outpa- tient procedure. There are three main surgical approaches to re- pair an inguinal hernia: open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted. Studies have shown that the three approaches have similarly low rates of hernia recurrence and are safe and effective. Rangel underwent an open re- pair, an approach often preferred by physicians for recurrent herni- as. He said his operation lasted less than two hours, and he walked out of the surgical center shortly afterward. The bill $2,900: The flat rate Rangel ultimately paid for his hernia repair at an outpatient surgery center in Maryland, including the surgeon’s fee and anesthesia. He said he also paid around $1,800 to travel to the surgery center from his home in Maine, including airfare, meals and lodging for him and his wife. The billing problem: No insurance — but time to shop Because Rangel did not have insurance, he had no protections from high costs — except time and his ability to shop for an acceptable price for his proce- dure. Rangel’s first stop was a non- bill from D1 His surgery was $23,000. After shopping around, he paid less than $5,000. Brianna Soukup/KFF Health News Ronmel Rangel, now 64, began researching prices when hernia surgery became unavoidable. “I wasn’t going to mortgage my life just to have surgery and spend the next 30 years paying off the debt,” he said.
