特朗普 吹嘘谈判； 伊朗否认 谈判
战争状态 仍不明朗
作者：KAREN DEYOUNG
周一，伊朗战争的状态仍不明朗。总统唐纳德·特朗普坚持认为德黑兰与华盛顿之间的谈判“现在正在进行”，而伊朗外交部发言人则表示：“我们目前没有与美国进行谈判。”
特朗普在当天早些时候的一篇社交媒体帖子中称伊朗领导人“极其两面派”，他在椭圆形办公室告诉记者，关于两国之间的谈判，“我们很坦率”，尽管“他们否认。但他们现在没有否认。他们刚刚发表了一份声明，并没有否认。”
当被问及在哪里可以找到该声明时，一名白宫发言人将《华盛顿邮报》引导至总统的言论。
特朗普表示，伊朗以及其他地区国家曾“恳求”进行谈判，这使他取消了此前描述的即将发动的美国袭击，该袭击本将是“自第二次世界大战以来……最猛烈的任何一次袭击”。
“我们原计划昨天对他们进行非常猛烈的打击，非常、非常猛烈，”特朗普说。但“我想在斩首行动之前给他们最后一次机会。执行我们计划的、依然计划中的行动是非常艰难的，”他说。“我为我能给人们一个机会而感到非常自豪。”

密歇根州庞蒂亚克 —— 18 岁的迈克尔·萨顿 (Michael Sutton) 刚接触政治，但他表示他深信政治体制已经崩溃。
上周，萨顿携带宣传资料走在底特律附近这个由平房组成的工人阶级社区，试图向长辈推销阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德 (Abdul El-Sayed)。在密歇根州竞争极其激烈的参议员竞选中，这位进步派候选人势头强劲。
萨顿是一名试图建立进步派黑人选民联盟的年轻游说员，他表示，他相信像艾尔-赛义德这样的候选人将打破现状，让政治变得更好。
KEVIN D. LILES / FOR THE WASHINGTON POST 照片中的马西·贝克利 (Marci Bakely) 位于佐治亚州杰斐逊的家中，她曾被其前男友跟踪，而此人恰好是亚特兰大郊区一个小镇的警察局长。
当 51 岁的芭芭拉·劳顿 (Barbara Lawton) 把车开进车道时，他问她：“您知道在参议员竞选中要投票给谁吗？”
劳顿扫了一眼传单。“不是那个家伙，”她回答道。她随后表示，直觉告诉她，政治上的动荡通常会让情况变得更糟。
密歇根州这场激烈的参议院初选揭示了民主党的内部分歧，并可能预示该党在后唐纳德·特朗普时代将走向何方。
像劳顿和萨顿这样的黑人选民对于定义这一轨迹至关重要。通过投票，他们要么将给予进步派本选举周期最大的胜利，要么将巩固一直处于防御状态的民主党建制派。

在周二的初选中投票时，密歇根州的民主党人将在近期民调中走势强劲的自由派艾尔-赛义德，与担任三届国会议员、有扭转共和党选区记录的温和派海莉·斯蒂文斯 (Haley Stevens) 之间做出选择。
获胜者将面对共和党人迈克·罗杰斯 (Mike Rogers)，这位前国会议员在两年前的首次参议院竞选中以微小差距落败。
密歇根州的这场选举对于哪个政党控制参议院至关重要。
艾尔-赛义德曾任公共卫生官员，他建立了一个广泛的基层联盟，并在那些因经济压力而转向特朗普的社区中进行竞选。斯蒂文斯则是建制派的选择，在争取黑人选民的同时，她试图与教会信众建立深厚联系。

重回 司法部长 竞选轨道
赔付基金
现支持提名
作者：杰里米·罗巴克 (JEREMY ROEBUCK) 与 佩里·斯坦 (PERRY STEIN)
两名曾威胁将投票反对托德·布兰奇 (Todd Blanche) 担任下一任司法部长提名的共和党立法者周一表示，在他正式取消了唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 总统与美国国家税务局 (IRS) 之间一项极具争议的协议的关键部分后，他们现在准备提供支持。
在布兰奇周日晚间发布的一项指令中，这位代理司法部长以书面形式宣布，他将取消政府关于设立一项 18 亿美元 billion 资金池的提案，该资金原计划用于赔偿那些声称自己是政治迫害受害者的个人。他还澄清，特朗普协议中的另一个方面——即为总统及其儿子和他们的公司提供免于过去税务追索的保护——并不排除未来的 IRS 审计。
“我们想向布兰奇先生及其工作人员就此事与我们合作表示感谢，我们期待不久后投票支持他的提名在参议院司法委员会通过，”德克萨斯州参议员约翰·科宁 (John Cornyn) 和北卡罗来纳州参议员汤姆·蒂利斯 (Thom Tillis) 表示，并补充道：“从一开始，我们就明确表示我们需要一份解决我们顾虑的书面文件。”
他们的声明似乎为参议院司法委员会在周二上午 9 点举行的听证会上推进布兰奇的提名铺平了道路。参议院全员仍需投票，但这些参议员的达成一致消除了布兰奇获得确认的最大显见障碍。
特朗普在近日中反复强调他希望设立一个赔付基金来帮助其政治盟友，他在周一淡化了布兰奇的声明。

芝加哥 —— 对于该国民主社会主义运动的领导者来说，2026 年是一个取得了超出他们敢于希望之成功的年份。
“我从未想过这在我有生之年能够实现，”美国民主社会主义者 (DSA) 的共同主席 Ashik Siddique 在上周末一次吸引了 600 名成员到场的为期三天的会议访谈中表示。“看到我们取得的进展，我们中的一些人确实感到震惊，但这并非凭空而来。”
Siddique 表示，该组织的缴费会员如此年轻，以至于“按 DSA 的标准，我算是一个长辈了。我才 30 多岁。”
在这次被冠名为峰会的 DSA 聚会上，与会者被称作“同志”。这里售卖的“废除移民海关执法局 (Abolish ICE)” T 恤、写有“房东很糟糕 (Land Lords Suck)”的徽章，以及印有 19 世纪口号“劳动者有权获得其创造的一切”的海报，都证明了他们聚集于此的原因。展厅的一张桌子上摆放着一个“鹿领导人” —— 那是一个雄鹿的标本头，两只鹿角之间塞着顶红色的 DSA 棒球帽。
但在这种庆祝氛围之上，一个严肃且具有战略性的问题笼罩着众人：现在该怎么办？
自从去年民主社会主义者 Zohran Mamdani 当选纽约市市长以来，由 DSA 全国领导机构正式背书或由其地方分支机构支持的候选人横扫了数十场初选，从市议会竞选到国会选举，在某些情况下甚至击败了资深的民主党现任议员。
DSA 的成员数量呈爆发式增长，全国范围内已接近 120,000 人，是唐纳德·特朗普在 2024 年赢得总统第二任期时的两倍多。上周发布的一项 CNN 民调发现，三分之一的民主党人和倾向民主党的成年人认同自己是民主社会主义者。
这些数字正是民主党建制派如此担心其眼中所谓的“政治自杀”的原因。在《华盛顿邮报》与 Ipsos 上个月进行的一项调查中，3 出 4 的民主党人表示他们愿意支持一名民主社会主义者竞选总统 —— 但只有不到一半的美国人持有此观点。
DSA 成员承认这是一个难题，且不仅是在总统层面。他们纲领中的许多长期目标，例如废除监狱制度、开放边境、削减五角大楼经费以及取消美国参议院，都远在主流之外。
但他们坚持认为，这不应阻碍他们在纽约市等深蓝色（民主党绝对优势）区域之外推出民主社会主义候选人。这些竞争者中包括 Francesca Hong，她在关键摇摆州威斯康星州混乱的 8 月 11 日民主党州长初选中似乎处于领先地位。
“如果一名左翼分子赢得了初选却输掉了大选，那将是一场灾难；但 2016 年一名中间派赢得了初选却输掉了大选，那同样是一场灾难，”DSA 拥有 15,000 名成员的纽约市分会前共同主席 Jeremy Cohan 说道。他指的是希拉里·克林顿（建制派的王朝旗手）与参议员 伯尼·桑德斯（佛蒙特州，独立人士）之间那场艰苦的战斗，后者将民主社会主义品牌提升到了全国层面。
“为了获胜，我们必须承担这些风险，”Cohan 说道。
DSA 成员属于在很大程度上自治的分会，许多人还将其自身组织在十几个充满分歧的党团中。展望未来，一个核心问题是他们是否应该寻求将民主党推向左翼。

关于这些病例将提供相关信息。 根据密歇根州卫生部门的说法，由这种微小寄生虫引起的疾病导致的死亡在美国并不常见，且通常不危及生命。 该州已报告 11,200 多个病例和近 200 例住院病例。 公共卫生官员正在调查一起与 9 个州的冰山生菜相关的环孢子菌感染爆发，泰勒农场 (Taylor Farms) 已召回源自中部的冰山生菜。
中墨西哥。联邦官员还在调查其他 36 个州发生的、与此次具体爆发无关的疫情和病例。
这些切碎的冰山生菜在 9 个州的 Taco Bell 餐厅中供应，均源自墨西哥的单一供应商 Taylor Farms de Mexico。这家快餐连锁店表示，截至 7 月 17, 它已完成将所有受影响的生菜从餐厅及其供应链中移除。至少有 1,947 例病例和 98 例住院病例与此次具体爆发有关。
根据疾病控制与预防中心的数据，全美范围内的多次疫情已导致至少 6,707 人感染该寄生虫。
Taylor Farms 表示，它已自愿召回在墨西哥中部生长、被确定为近期一次圆环孢子虫病（cyclospora）爆发潜在来源的所有冰山生菜。该公司在 7 月 17 次通知中表示，目前货架上的任何产品均非受影响产品。
该公司还表示，它已委托独立专家对其墨西哥中部的设施进行食品安全流程和协议的全面审查。该公司称，截至 7 月 18, 该设施已暂时停止所有产品的生产。
圆环孢子虫通常在受感染的粪便污染食物或水时传播，不太可能在人与人之间传播。通常在感染后大约一周，人们才会发病。
或进行他们所谓的“决裂”。
来自休斯顿分会的注册护士塞雷娜·埃尔米塔尼奥（Cerena Ermitanio）是 27 人国家政治委员会的成员，该委员会充当民主社会党 (DSA) 的董事会。她还将自己视为该党马克思主义、以劳工为导向的“面包与玫瑰”（Bread & Roses）党团的一员。
埃尔米塔尼奥说，与民主党完全决裂“对我来说在战术上是有意义的”，因为 DSA 的另一种选择是将自己贬低为某个既建制化又无法回应劳动人民关切的机构中的“初级合伙人”。
持有相反观点的是凯蒂·西姆斯（Katie Sims），她是纽约州伊萨卡分会的成员，担任 DSA 选举运营主席，并且是“改革派”社会党多数党团（Socialist Majority Caucus）的一员。（DSA 成员对任何将其描述为中间派或温和派的人都感到反感。）
“我们正试图赢得民主党选民基础，”西姆斯说，“所以停止目前有效的方法是没有意义的。”
DSA 的全国会员人数已激增至近 120,000 人。
另一个问题是，是否继续将其由志愿者驱动的实地行动投入到选举那些在核心原则（如政府运营的医疗保健）上与 DSA 一致，但不接受民主社会党标签的候选人。
例如，在周二密歇根州至关重要的民主党参议院初选中，DSA 的活动人士和地面部队正非正式地帮助进步派候选人阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed），尽管他坚称自己不是社会主义者，“只是一个了解资本主义如何运作的资本主义者”。
但 DSA 的其他分会则没那么宽容。分会成员克利夫·康诺利（Cliff Connolly）回忆道，奥兰多分会最近告诉一位寻求其背书的县委员会候选人，他必须在自己的网站上写上“民主社会主义者”才能获得背书。康诺利说，十分钟后，该网站的顶部便宣布该候选人为“一名为劳动家庭而战的民主社会主义者”。
官员们表示，要赢得 DSA 高调的全国性背书，候选人必须
符合一系列标准：认同其为彻底的民主社会主义者，而不仅仅是进步主义者；参选地需有强大的民主社会主义者协会 (DSA) 分会，且能提供稳健的组织基础设施支持；拒绝接受亲以色列游说团体的资金；并支持 DSA 的立场，包括废除美国移民和海关执法局 (ICE) 以及建立以耶路撒冷为首都的巴勒斯坦国。
国家委员会还会让寻求其背书的候选人经过严格的面试过程，领导层表示，自马姆达尼获胜以来，这一过程变得更加严格。
接下来的议程之一是制定 2028 年总统背书的流程，目标最早在明年三月或四月完成。
如果决定参选，最有可能获得背书的是众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科尔特尼（民主党-纽约州）。但 DSA 总统探索委员会主席亚历克斯·佩利特里表示，任何背书都将是 DSA 长期战略的一部分。
DSA 领导层意识到，必须将组织及其运动的覆盖范围扩大到年轻人、城市人口和大学受教育者之外，因为这部分人群在组织中占据了不成比例的高份额。他们表示，一项全国性的总统竞选活动将有助于实现这一目标。
“吸引我们推举一名候选人的原因是，这将为我们提供一个触达全国数百万人的平台，”佩利特里说。他在 2016 年高中生时期通过为桑德斯敲门拉票开启了政治生涯。
但他们誓言，2028 年将只是漫长旅程的开始。“我们将其视为帮助扩大社会主义运动和 DSA 的一种手段，”他补充道，“我们的目标是从资本主义过渡到社会主义，而这不会在一次竞选中就能实现。”
尽管这一周期可能从两天到两周或更久不等。这种寄生虫通常导致水样腹泻并伴随频繁排便。该病是可以治疗的，医生可以开具抗生素药物辅助治疗。
由于症状出现前存在滞后，很难追踪寄生虫的来源。美国疾控中心 (CDC) 已获知 11,500 多个尚未经过实验室确认且需要进一步调查（例如排除国际旅行史）的额外病例。
今年大学招生季发生变化的 7 个方面
作者：Susan Svrluga
通用申请系统（Common App）于周六开放，在高等教育动荡不安的时期，开启了高三学生的大学申请季。虽然许多学校深感担忧无法填满招生名额，但最顶尖的机构仅会录取数万名申请者中极小比例的学生。
斯坦福大学教育研究生院教授米切尔·L·史蒂文斯（Mitchell L. Stevens）表示，极具选拔性的学校对家长而言就像是一份保险单，是他们相信能够提供竞争优势的信赖品牌。“我们面临的经济不确定性越多，这份保险就越有价值。”
近年来，整个申请流程一直受到疫情、测试政策变动、最高法院关于考虑种族的录取裁决、人工智能、联邦调查等一系列因素的干扰，名单之长不胜枚举。
以下是本学年需要关注的录取变化：
部分学校正在取消补充论文 顶尖大学正在取消要求学生撰写针对该校特定论文的要求。通用申请系统允许学生申请 1,200 多所成员学校，其中包含一篇个人论文。
康奈尔大学、北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校、圣路易斯华盛顿大学、杜兰大学、乔治亚理工学院等学校最近加入了弗吉尼亚大学的行列，后者在去年取消了补充论文要求。（康奈尔大学仍要求申请者撰写关于他们希望就读的具体学院的论文，但取消了全校范围的论文。）
更改这一要求可能有几个原因。取消论文减轻了学生和招生人员的负担。降低门槛可以增加申请人数。此外，由于人工智能的广泛使用，论文相比以往更难以可靠地反映学生的真实心声。
一些学校已经减少了论文数量，并增加了对学生而言不那么令人生畏的简答题（例如，“什么能带给你快乐？”）。
在杜兰大学，负责招生管理副校长兼招生院长肖恩·艾伯特（Shawn Abbott）表示，要求学生在申请杜兰大学时还得跨过撰写一篇额外论文的门槛，似乎是没有必要的。考虑到他们对成绩单和推荐信等许多其他学术和个人因素的重视，他说：“事实是，它对录取决定并没有产生太大影响。继续问这个问题显得很愚蠢。”
更多顶尖学校要求提供 ACT 或 SAT 成绩 许多学校在 2020 年停止要求学生提交大学入学考试成绩，当时疫情导致线下测试中心关闭。甚至在新冠疫情之前，一些学校出于对分数反映社会不公平的担忧就已经停止要求考试，因为部分学生无法负担考前辅导班或家教，且不知道如可汗学院 (Khan Academy) 数字课程等免费资源。
大多数大学仍保持“考试可选”政策。但情况正在发生变化。达特茅斯学院 (Dartmouth College) 是第一所重新要求成绩的常春藤盟校，此前研究人员认定，这些考试能有效预测大学期间的成功率，并有助于识别那些家庭第一代大学生、父母经济条件较差或来自农村及城市地区的申请人。
现在，许多最具选择性的学校——包括所有常春藤盟校——要么要求提供成绩，要么表示将在未来的录取周期中这样做。
几位专家表示，由于担心成绩虚高 (grade inflation)，大学需要更多的数据点来确定学生是否能在那里取得成功。
马萨诸塞州州长学院 (Governor’s Academy) 的大学咨询主管海瑟·肖斯 (Heather Shows) 表示，她将密切关注规模大、选拔严格且具有影响力的加州大学 (University of California) 决定如何操作；近年来，该大学在全州各校区都拒绝查看标准化考试成绩，但目前正在重新审查该政策。“是否会全面恢复考试？是否仍将保持考试可选？随后对其他学校会产生什么样的多米诺骨牌效应？我绝对在关注这一点。”

GARY CORONADO / LOS ANGELES TIMES / GETTY IMAGES 2022. 年的 UCLA 校园。申请该校的潜在新生人数超过美国任何其他学校。
录取率可能继续下降 申请大学的学生人数持续增长，他们提交的申请数量也在不断上升。根据 Common App 的数据，在过去一年截至 3 月期间，提交申请的人数比去年增加了 2%，向往回成员校提交的申请量增加了 5%——1.4 million 名申请者提交了 9.4 million 份申请。而且，更多的人在申请那些最具选择性的学校。
在某些学校，这些数字令人震惊。去年，近 55,000 名学生申请了耶鲁大学 (Yale University)。几乎 68,000 名学生申请了佐治亚理工学院 (Georgia Tech)，创下纪录。超过 145,000 名潜在新生申请了 UCLA——为全美所有学校之最。
Common App 让申请更多学校变得更加容易。但申请人数的增加降低了录取率，最具选择性的学校仅录取 5% 或更少比例的申请者。
这一循环增加了学生的压力。纽约艾玛·威拉德学校 (Emma Willard School) 的大学咨询主管阿什利·L·贝内特 (Ashley L. Bennett) 表示：“堤坝即将崩溃，”她担心学生在申请过程中的压力。
她说，学生过去只申请少数几所学校，但现在许多人尽可能多地申请，因为他们认为：“好吧，如果我撒一张大网，至少能捕到一两条大鱼。”
提前决定在选拔性录取中至关重要 许多学校为那些愿意在传统的 1 月申请截止日期之前承诺就读单一学校的学生，提供在秋季截止日期（通常是 11 月 1 日）前申请的选择。
这是因为学校需要确保能招满一个班级。随着学生申请的学校数量达到前所未有的多，以及申请者是否会最终就读变得更加模糊，早期轮次有助于锁定那些渴望就读的学生。
对早期申请的关注增加——
这一决定在一定程度上是由报到率（yield）驱动的——即被录取学生中实际入学的百分比。报到率被视为衡量消费者需求和信用资质的关键指标，而强大的信用评级则使学校在为校园大型资本项目筹集资金时，借贷更容易且成本更低。
早期申请的规则和截止日期存在差异，一些学校甚至提供多轮早期申请。
具有约束力的早期决定（binding early decision）计划使那些需要通过对比财务援助方案来选择能够负担得起学校的学生处于不利地位。但对于那些确定会接受首选学校的学生来说，早期轮次减轻了压力——而且其录取率可能明显高于春季的常规决定（regular decision）。
“我们鼓励所有学生尽可能早地申请，”北卡罗来纳大学（UNC）学生成功高级副教务长詹姆斯·奥尔（James Orr）表示。
贝内特（Bennett）表示，她学校中至少有一半的学生申请早期录取，其中一些人希望在录取中获得微小优势，另一些人则希望更快得到答复。每年都有一些学生告诉她：“我想度过一个美好的高四年级，不想全年都因为大学申请而压力山大。”
一名哈佛大学毕业生去年发出的支持国际学生的讯息。今年，学校可能会看到更少的海外申请者。
国际学生成为今年的一个巨大未知数 一些专家表示，近期的政策决定可能会威慑国际学生在今年申请。一项新规定将禁止大多数外国学生和交流访问者在美停留超过四年，除非获得联邦政府的延期许可。签证办理的延迟以及对国际学生更严格的审查，也可能增加不确定性并改变申请人群。
“我认为观察国际学生会做出什么样的选择会非常有趣，”肖斯（Shows）说道。
最高法院终止种族意识录取裁决后的持续影响 2023, 最高法院通过一项否决基于种族的平权行动的裁决，颠覆了大学录取机制。随后，一些大学寻求其他方法来保持学生群体的多样性，包括增加关于身份认同的论文问题、在特定地区加大招募力度，以及寻求来自低收入家庭的学生。
但特朗普政府要求提供录取数据，并展开调查，以核实学校是否通过给予黑人和西班牙裔学生优惠而歧视白人和亚裔学生。该政府反对多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）的努力，并坚持认为学校不能使用种族替代指标。
一些专家预测，这种压力和审查将不可避免地导致大学在寻求多样化学生群体时更加谨慎，并更倾向于依赖测试分数和成绩等量化指标。
“我为那些不得不频繁与机构总法律顾问沟通，而较少与招生人员讨论机构优先事项及在申请过程中支持学生的招生负责人感到难过，”独立学校学院顾问协会执行主任埃米·哈沃德（Emmi Harward）表示，“因为一切都政治化了，没有任何机构希望成为下一个受到法律起诉威胁的对象。”
最后，一些好消息： 这件事不必如此艰难 虽然人们很容易执着于 进入顶尖学校的 渺茫机会，但美国的大多数 大学接受大多数申请者—— 有些学校甚至不需要申请， 而是提供直接录取。越来越多的 学校和州承诺根据学生的 成绩给予录取。 Common App 宣布， 它计划在今年同样 扩大其直接录取计划。 “美国的大多数机构 并不具有筛选性，” 国家大学录取咨询协会 (National Association for College Admission Counseling) 首席执行官 Angel Pérez 表示，“他们的录取率在 70 % 或以上。 “事实上，进入大学 并没有那么难。”
领导层还致力于确认 74 名特朗普提名的官员
作者：贾雷尔·迪拉德 (JARRELL DILLARD) 和 希奥多里克·迈耶 (THEODORIC MEYER)
参议院共和党人正竞相在周五离京前完成一份冗长的待办事项清单，其中包括批准一项旨在避免 11 月 3 日选举前政府停摆的临时支出法案。除了临时预算案外，参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩 (John Thune，南达科他州) 正在努力确认 74 名总统唐纳德·特朗普提名的官员，并面临推进一项 950 亿美元 billion 方案的压力，该方案将为伊朗战争以及受通货膨胀打击的农民提供新资金。参议员本周未能完成的任何事项可能会被推迟到 9 月，届时国会预计仅在华盛顿短暂停留，随后便将进入竞选活动阶段。
临时预算案被优先处理。拨款委员会主席苏珊·柯林斯 (Susan Collins，共和党-缅因州) 与民主党首席拨款议员帕蒂·默里 (Patty Murray，华盛顿) 共同起草了该法案，该法案将政府资金延长至 12 月 11. 日。该措施与众议院通过的版本在重要方面有所不同：它纳入了白宫关于在秋季维持住房和营养计划资金的请求，并将延长一项即将到期的退伍军人医疗保健授权。此外，它将暂时阻止白宫管理与预算办公室采取一项新规定，该规定将赋予政治任命官员广泛的权力来取消数千亿美元的联邦资助。
众议院拨款委员会首席民主党议员罗莎·德劳罗 (Rosa DeLauro，康涅狄格州) 在周日的一份声明中表示，参议院的法案相比众议院法案有“明显改进”，而她和大多数众议院民主党人反对后者。如果参议院批准该法案，众议院可以在立法者 8 月底返回时审议该措施。除非国会采取行动，否则政府预计将在 10 月 1. 日耗尽资金。参议院共和党人还面临着一份长长的总统
他们支持限制 白宫对数十亿美元 拨款的权力
作者：RILEY BEGGIN
参议院共和党领导层周日公布了一项支出法案，该法案将暂时阻止总统唐纳德·特朗普执行一项规则变更。该变更将赋予政治任命人员对数以千亿美元联邦拨款的广泛权力。
这一条款被纳入一项由参议院拨款委员会主席苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins，缅因州共和党人）和副主席帕蒂·默里（Patty Murray，华盛顿民主党人）协商、并由参议院共和党党团领导层审议的双党措施中，旨在为政府提供至12月11日的资金。这标志着总统再次受到来自其自身政党参议员的显著指责。
柯林斯在一份声明中表示，她对该条款被纳入支出协议感到“高兴”。她还表示，白宫的规则变更“有可能使拨款政治化，并损害小型农村社区、家庭以及生物医学研究”。
这项由白宫管理和预算办公室（OMB）于5月发布的规则变更，将赋予政治任命人员对自由裁量拨款资金更大的权力，削弱了第二次世界大战后建立的一套制度。该制度要求由独立同行评审员（领域专家）来决定科学提案是否值得获得联邦资助。
新规则将要求政治任命人员在拨款授予前进行审查，以确保这些拨款能够推进总统的优先事项，且不支持政府反对的项目，包括那些“资助、推广、鼓励、补贴或促进”多样性、公平和包容原则，或“否认

周日晚些时候，布兰奇发布了一项书面命令，正式撤回特朗普政府关于为自称是政治迫害受害者的民众设立一项18 亿美元 billion基金的提案——这是打破僵局的一步。
布兰奇表示，此次修订是与包括参议员约翰·科宁（John Cornyn，德克萨斯州）和汤姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis，北卡罗来纳州）在内的参议院司法委员会成员达成协议的一部分，此前这些成员因对该基金的担忧而威胁将对他的提名投反对票。

该规则还将赋予机构随时终止拨款的权力，进一步限制与中国、俄罗斯及某些其他外国研究人员的合作，并对在美工作的外国研究人员增加新要求。该规则不适用于灾难恢复拨款或国会通过法律授予的部分拨款（包括块状拨款）。
特朗普政府官员表示，该规则将为联邦拨款增加必要的监管，确保联邦资金不被浪费或滥用。
OMB官员在周日晚间未立即回应置评请求，但已经
该命令是在特朗普在 Truth Social 上发布帖子，威胁如果布兰奇未获得确认，将重启推动支付基金的一天后下达的。司法委员会已将布兰奇提名的一项关键投票定于周二进行。
在其他方面，预计参议院将轻松通过一项对俄罗斯实施新制裁的立法，该立法将允许特朗普政府对购买俄罗斯石油和天然气的前五大买家征收最高 100 percent 的关税。该措施在上个月突然去世的林赛·格雷厄姆参议员（共和党-南卡罗来纳州）主导下推动，并于上周在强有力的两党投票中获得通过。
此外，图恩表示，议会将在一个由行业支持的加密货币法案上进行投票，该法案将建立联邦对数字资产的管辖权。但是
表示拜登政府利用联邦拨款来推动一项“极左”议程。 OMB 表示计划在 Oct. 1. 前敲定该规则。如果参议院的资金延期方案获得两院批准，它将阻止 OMB 实施
该措施面临来自各方面的反对，包括民主党人，他们要求制定更严格的伦理条款，以限制特朗普从其家族加密货币业务中获利的潜力。 共和党人本周面临的最艰巨任务可能是敲定一个预算方案框架，以加快向农民和五角大楼提供资金。通过一个被称为“预算协调（reconciliation）”的复杂程序，共和党议员可以绕过民主党的阻碍议事（filibuster），并凭借共和党选票通过该方案。 为了使该策略生效，参议院共和党人需要其党团内近乎一致的支持。但几位共和党参议员已经表达了反对意见。 “我们正在仔细研究，”图恩上周告诉记者，“而且目前，正如我之前所说的，我们可能还没达到那个程度。” 上个月，众议院通过了一个 950 亿美元 billion 预算框架，其中包括 730 亿美元 billion 用于国防、120 亿美元 billion 的农民援助以及 100 亿美元 billion 用于选举相关措施，众议院共和党人希望利用这些措施来实施《拯救美国法案》的部分内容——这是特朗普的一项首要任务。该法案将要求选民在登记投票时证明其公民身份，并在投票站出示照片身份证件。 特朗普要求参议院在选举条款通过之前不得休会，但图恩多次表示，即使在协调程序下，该法案也无法在参议院通过。例如，蒂利斯表示他不会支持该法案。 与此同时，多位共和党参议员对众议院框架表达了其他担忧
该规则，至少直到该措施于 Dec. 11. 到期为止。 柯林斯在 7 月初敦促 OMB 撤回该规则的部分内容。数十名民主党议员——以及共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基（阿拉斯加州）——提出了类似的担忧。 分别担任参议院和众议院拨款委员会最高民主党人的默里和众议员罗莎·德劳罗（民主党-康涅狄格州），在周日的声明中对该条款表示赞赏。 新的 OMB 规则将“只会给特朗普开绿灯，让他劫持更多的联邦资金，”与柯林斯共同起草参议院支出措施的默里说道。默里表示，她推动了一项本可以永久终止 OMB 规则的条款，但
协调程序，包括参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基（阿拉斯加州）、比尔·卡西迪（路易斯安那州）和柯林斯。 参议院军事委员会主席罗杰·威克（共和党-密西西比州）主张国防预算应接近 3000 亿美元 billion，他在周四告诉《华盛顿邮报》，他正在推动获得更高金额。但规模更大的方案可能会面临财政保守派共和党人的反对，这些人已经对在国家 $39.8 trillion 债务的基础上增加 950 亿美元 billion 表示犹豫。 参议院预算委员会主席罗恩·约翰逊（共和党-威斯康星州）表示，白宫需要直接申请额外的国防资金。尽管如此，约翰逊表示他“相当乐观”参议院会在离京前推进一个预算框架。
遭到了她共和党同事的拒绝。当管理和预算预算办公室（OMB）在今年春季宣布此事时，拟议的规则变更引发了科学研究人员的广泛愤怒，他们表示，这将使研究机构面临政治干预，为联邦资金带来新的不稳定因素，限制国际合作并排斥优秀研究人员，从而可能结束美国的科学主导地位。特朗普政府官员表示，他们不会利用该规则盲目削减科学资金。OMB主任拉塞尔·沃特（Russell Vought）在上个月的一次国会听证会上表示，政府并不打算“在转瞬之间”取消拨款。但沃特补充道，“当我们发现某些我们的政策官员未能察觉的问题时，我们需要能够将其关停”，他举的例子是一家总部位于美国的非营利组织向武汉病毒研究所提供的NIH子拨款，
这家中国实验室是关于新冠肺炎（covid-19）起源怀疑的中心。去年，特朗普政府取消了数百项并冻结了数千项联邦拨款，理由是这些项目与政府的优先事项不一致。科学家们表示，这在研究机构内部引发了混乱，导致了裁员并颠覆了研究项目。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune，南达科他州共和党人）表示，他的目标是在参议院周五离开并进入为期一个月休会期之前通过该支出法案。如果该措施——或类似的措施——未获得批准，政府将在9月底关闭。目前尚不清楚由共和党控制的众议院是否会支持该原案。众议院将于8月 31. 从其为期一个月休会期中回归。议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson，路易斯安那州共和党人）及共和党众议院拨款委员会的发言人未立即回应评论请求。
律师指责伦理委员会 做出仓促判断
作者：MARIANA ALFARO
众议院伦理委员会建议议院谴责众议员查克·爱德华兹（Chuck Edwards，共和党-北卡罗来纳州）。在周一发布的一份报告中，委员会将其行为描述为对两名年轻女性员工“持续的非专业且不恰当的行为”。
爱德华兹否认有任何不当行为。他的律师指责该委员会得出了一个“仓促且毫无根据的决议”，并称建议的谴责“异常严厉”。
“爱德华兹代表强调，他在担任国会议员期间及其之前，一直努力遵守所有关于其行为的适用法律，”他的律师在委员会发布的一份声明中写道。“他再次表示，如果他的行为给任何员工带来了不适或是不受欢迎的，他对此深表遗憾。”
伦理委员会由相同数量的民主党人和共和党人组成。该委员会在5月公开确认，在收到关于他“可能营造或助长了敌对的工作环境并参与性骚扰”的指控后，已对爱德华兹展开调查。
委员会表示，没有证据表明爱德华兹与任何员工发生了性行为或明确地提出过性要求。然而，报告称他意识到“他对这些年轻女性的过度关注已导致办公室中出现了传闻和暗示”。
委员会发现，尽管爱德华兹认为他的任何行为都不是出于性或浪漫的追求，但他的行为模式“会让一个理性的观察者将其解释为这种意图”。
ANNA MONEYMAKER / GETTY IMAGES 众议院伦理委员会发布的一份报告指责众议员查克·爱德华兹（Chuck Edwards，共和党-北卡罗来纳州）对两名年轻女性员工采取了“不恰当行为”。爱德华兹否认有任何不当行为。
根据报告，爱德华兹向这两名员工提供了“奢华且重复的礼物”，发表了“关于她们外貌和穿着的评论”，邀请她们参加“亲密的晚餐和度假”，并发送了“关于他热情爱意”的便条。报告称，部分礼物包括总价值超过 $1,000 的珠宝、名牌手袋、枪支、鞋子、鲜花、一台笔记本电脑和手机。
委员会发现，这些女性对他这种行为感到“不舒服”，并试图向他传达这一点，但由于“他作为上司的身份，使她们陷入了难以维持的境地”。
伦理委员会分享的报告中所包含的文件和短信显示，爱德华兹多次对这两名员工做出夸张的姿态。
报告称，在一次场合中，他与一名员工似乎一起前往拉斯维加斯进行了私人旅行。爱德华兹为他和该员工预订了 Bellagio 酒店的房间，并承诺为她们购买该市演出的门票。
在某个时间点，当该员工询问爱德华兹关于旅途穿着的建议时，爱德华兹发短信称：“你穿去听音乐会的那件黄色衬衫和一条牛仔短裤深深印在我的记忆里，而你穿去邻近办公室活动的那件红色连衣裙简直太惊艳了 (SHOW STOPPER)！”
随后在起飞前的对话中，爱德华兹给该员工送了花，她指出这让她感到“不舒服”。
“我只是想确认这次旅行并没有被赋予它不具备的含义？”她发短信问道。
“我很抱歉这让你感到不舒服。我并没有任何意图……”
“就这样，”爱德华兹回答道。
报告称，在另一个场合，爱德华兹提出可以缺席一次众议院投票，以帮助其中一名工作人员布置她的圣诞树。在另一次机会中，他提出重新安排一次远程市政厅会议，以便与该工作人员共进晚餐。
报告中包含的其他信息显示，爱德华兹经常邀请这些工作人员出去吃晚餐、喝酒，以及前往赌场、剧院观看喜剧和音乐剧演出。
当其中一名工作人员离开爱德华兹的办公室时，这位立法者发送了一段冗长的短信，称她的离开“留下了一个无论在专业上还是个人生活上，都没有其他人能填补的空白”。
“即便我遭受损失，我也向你保证，你永远找不到比我更希望你幸福的人。永远，没有任何人！”爱德华兹写道。
杰米·艾格（Jamie Ager），挑战爱德华兹（Edwards）寻求连任的民主党人
在给其中一名工作人员的一封手写信中，爱德华兹将她描述为“最令人惊叹的女性”，并称她“在我的心中写下了一个复杂的章节”。 在给委员会的答复中，爱德华兹的律师辩称，委员会的调查结果“根据众议院关于性不端行为或骚扰的规则，证明了爱德华兹众议员是清白的”。 律师斯坦利·M·布兰德（Stanley M. Brand）和安德鲁·D·赫尔曼（Andrew D. Herman）强调，爱德华兹“既未与任何单名工作人员发生性行为，也没有明确地向其提出性要求”，并表示“本案中的指控并不涉及对价性骚扰”。 委员会还指责爱德华兹未能提交与其工作人员之间完整的文本和对话记录。委员会表示，缺失的消息中包含对调查至关重要的情感表达，包括一系列消息，在其中爱德华兹仅提供了工作人员对他所做餐厅推荐的回复。 委员会在调查期间恢复了他的回复，部分内容为：“我嫉妒得发疯，因为我想成为向你介绍那家店的人。” 委员会还采访了相关工作人员。其中一人在被问及与爱德华兹的关系时表示，她“不知道如何拒绝”，并且她和另一名工作人员“当时都很年轻”，而且“被教导我们要心存感激”。 “随着年龄增长，我们开始意识到这也许是不正常的，”该工作人员告诉委员会。 另一名曾与爱德华兹一同前往拉斯维加斯的工作人员表示，她担心自己“陷得太深”，并且她觉得必须同意这次旅行，因为她“不认为让一名国会议员成为我的对手会对我的职业生涯有好处”。 根据报告，其中一名工作人员在开始为爱德华兹担任实习生时 19 岁。她在大学毕业后搬到了华盛顿，为爱德华兹工作了大约三年。第二名工作人员在爱德华兹担任州参议员期间与其共事，并在其团队中工作了大约 2½ 年。 爱德华兹正面临民主党人杰米·艾格（Jamie Ager）的连任挑战，艾格是来自一个山区的摇摆选区的农民；民主党将该选区视为在寻求夺回众议院多数席位时的夺取机会。今年，众议院民主党竞选机构——民主国会竞选委员会将该选区列入了“由红转蓝”名单，表明其打算在该场竞选中投入资源。 “我的心与那些为了服务我们的社区而担任这些职位的年轻女性在一起，”艾格在一份声明中表示。“我们值得拥有让西北北卡罗来纳州感到自豪的、具备道德操守的领导者。” 库克政治报告（The Cook Political Report）最近将该席位（北卡罗来纳州第 11 選區）评级为“倾向共和党”选区——此前为“很可能共和党”。 谴责是众议院可以选择的三种惩戒成员的方式之一，另外两种是训诫和开除。如果众议院采纳委员会谴责爱德华兹的建议，它还可以投票将其从委员会任职中除名。他仍将能够在议会大厅投票。共和党在该议院中仅拥有微弱的多数席位。
BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / AFP / GETTY IMAGES 代理司法部长托德·布兰奇周一获得了此前威胁要投票反对他的共和党参议员的支持。
接 A1 页关于布兰奇的报道
“我不知道他们达成了什么协议。我认为托德·布兰奇同意重新确认他已经说过的事情。”
如果该协议能够维持，将结束数日来的反复拉锯。在此期间，两名著名的共和党参议员向特朗普发起挑战，引发了一位不习惯于党内遭遇阻力的总统的猛烈批评。
尽管如此，布兰奇的命令似乎并未达到科宁和蒂利斯上周所要求的程度。这两位参议员表示，他们需要看到对原始和解协议的修订。该协议由特朗普的律师签署，旨在建立一个基金，作为解决总统就其税单泄露给媒体而提起诉讼的交易的一部分。
布兰奇周日的命令并未这样做。相反，它撤销了布兰奇本人在 5 月发布的关于支付基金运作方式的指令。周日的命令并非由特朗普的法律团队签署。
科宁此前暗示这将成为一项交易的破坏因素。
“必须明确的是，作为本案原告的美国总统尚未书面同意删除该‘武器化基金’，”科宁在布兰奇的听证会上强调。
即使在布兰奇周日晚上的声明之后，情况依然如此。这留下了一个科宁曾警告过的可能性——即特朗普可能会因取消支付基金而起诉司法部违约。
民主党人周一指出，布兰奇的声明也没有排除司法部继续与特朗普盟友达成法律索赔和解的可能性，这些人声称自己受到了拜登和奥巴马政府的不公正起诉，即使该部门不使用这 18 亿美元 billion 的支付基金。
“这并不能阻止政府在下周让这个秘密基金‘死而复生’，或者利用司法部的判决基金（Judgment Fund）实现同样的非法目的，”司法委员会成员、加利福尼亚州参议员亚当·希夫在一篇社交媒体帖子中说道。此外，基础和解协议仍然为特朗普及其家人提供了异常的税务审计豁免保护。布兰奇周日声明该协议将不适用于未来的索赔或特朗普家族以外的人员——就像他宣布支付基金已取消的声明一样，并没有被纳入基础法律文件中。
周一，当被问及与布兰奇协议的这些局限性时，蒂利斯和科宁表示，他们已经尽力而为。“总统是否可能完全反转情况并创建一个新基金？他可以，”蒂利斯告诉记者，“那么他就可以向美国人民交代，为什么他没有诚信地进行谈判。”
就布兰奇而言，由于关于他提名的僵局在过去一周内持续延伸，他向科宁和蒂利斯与其合作表示感谢。“我的团队和我过去几周与委员会成员和参议员进行了会面，解决了所有担忧或未决问题，”他说。“我们进行了诚信的讨论。……该部门始终欢迎并感谢与所有国会议员的建设性互动。”
如果布兰奇最终获得确认，可能会为一个四个月没有确认领导人的司法部带来一定程度的稳定性。特朗普尚未表明他将改变要求起诉其政治对手的做法，而这一做法已使该部门陷入争议。但真正引发最强烈两党抵制的，是司法部律师在春季与特朗普法律团队协商达成的庭外和解协议。
科宁和蒂利斯都将在今年后离开参议院，他们将对该协议进行书面修正作为一项条件——
他们对布兰奇（Blanche）的提名表示支持。
他们的反对根源于一种担忧，即拟议的赔付基金可能会奖励那些在2021年1月6日袭击美国国会大厦期间，因袭击警员而被定罪的人员。
好几天的时间里，特朗普似乎在抵制他们的要求，反而选择猛烈抨击这两位参议员。任何解决方案的前景似乎都十分渺茫。
周五，特朗普痛斥科宁（Cornyn）和蒂利斯（Tillis），指责他们阻挠布兰奇的提名并非出于正当的担忧，而是因为他们对他没有支持其连任感到不快。
科宁在春季的一场惨烈的连任之战中落败，在
我们就明确 需要一份 书面文件 来解决我们的 顾虑。”
德克萨斯州参议员约翰·科宁 和北卡罗来纳州参议员汤姆·蒂利斯 在一份声明中表示
特朗普支持了他的共和党初选对手，德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿。蒂利斯在与特朗普发生争执后，选择不再寻求连任。然而，科宁否认了这样一种观点，即他对布兰奇提名所持的立场与其对特朗普的个人感情有关。
“这件事是为了确保，即使你是美国总统，在诉讼和解中也不能获得普通公民无法获得的政府优惠条款，”他在周四告诉记者。
随着参议员们与政府之间的谈判在整个上周大部分时间里僵持不下且几乎没有进展，立法者们明确表示，他们将僵局归咎于白宫，而非布兰奇。
“我认为就布兰奇和司法部而言，我们的想法基本一致，”科宁周四下午说。“但当总统得知此事后，他的想法就不一样了。”
从那时起，特朗普对他意图地表示了更多怀疑。
周五，他威胁称，在科宁和蒂利斯离开参议院后，他将暂时撤回布兰奇的提名，并在明年重新提交。
同一天，总统的律师进一步混淆了局面，提交了一份通知，表示他们将对一名联邦法官最近的一项命令提出上诉，该法官负责监督特朗普针对美国国家税务局（IRS）的诉讼。
该法官谴责这起诉讼是一场不合法的法律争端，因为双方的律师最终都向总统汇报。她指责当事人将该诉讼作为借口，以证明一项她描述为在未经法院批准的情况下达成的可疑协议的正当性。
特朗普的律师坚称，由于该协议是在庭外达成的，法官对此没有管辖权。周六，总统暗示，如果科宁和蒂利斯投票反对布兰奇，他将推动国会通过立法，通过法律手段建立该基金。
甚至在布兰奇于周日发布命令数小时后，特朗普继续表示支持补偿 1 月 6 日骚乱参与者的想法，他称这些人“受到了极其糟糕的对待”。
“我认为，对于那些在监狱中度过多年的人，那些受到如此糟糕对待的人，以及在许多情况下完全没有做错任何事情的人来说，这将是非常公平的，”总统周一在椭圆形办公室告诉记者。“因此，我认为该基金是积极的。许多共和党人也这么认为。”

俄亥俄州众议员卡普图尔 在车祸中受伤
其办公室表示，众议员马西·卡普图尔（Marcy Kaptur，民主党-俄亥俄州）周日在前往托莱多附近参加教会礼拜的途中遭遇车祸，因伤势不危及生命而接受治疗并入院。
该办公室在一份声明中称，这位 80 岁的国会议员在车辆被撞击时坐在乘客席。尽管住院治疗，但她在周日晚上意识清醒且状态活跃。
卡普图尔的办公室表示，托莱多警方将对此次车祸进行调查。托莱多警方未立即就此次车祸的评论请求做出回应。
卡普图尔的办公室在声明中说：“她对数百名表达关切的选民表示深切感谢，并期待很快恢复完整的工作日程。”
托莱多电视台 WTOL 11 的报道称，警员接报处理了一起涉及两辆车的车祸，被描述为“hit-skip”——这是当地对肇事逃逸的称呼。

莱斯大学扩大 免费学费计划
莱斯大学周一宣布，从今年秋季起，将为家庭年收入最高达 $200,000 的学生提供免费学费。
对于家庭年收入最高达 $100,000 且资产状况典型的学生，这所位于休斯顿的高度选拔性大学还将涵盖杂费、食宿费用。
该校的学费及相关费用每年总计近 $93,000。
招生副校长兼招生与资助院长伊冯娜·罗梅罗（Yvonne Romero）表示，学校于 2019 年启动了“莱斯投资计划”（Rice Investment program），旨在降低教育成本，并提高财务援助的前端透明度。
她表示，即使是在较高的收入档位，学生依然可以获得资助；在家庭年收入介于 $200,000 和 $300,000 之间并申请资助的学生中，有 70 % 获得了援助。
大学投入的增加和捐赠使得更多家庭具备了获得资助的资格。
莱斯大学加入到了一个规模日益扩大的院校行列中，这些学校甚至向中产阶级家庭提供显著的财务援助，并以简单易懂的方式公布，以免家长被高昂的标价吓跑。
最近毕业且没有任何债务的贾伦·里夫斯（Jalen Reeves）表示，财务援助让他能够自由地接受教育，而无需承受寻找支付资金的压力和不确定性。“这是一个福音！”他说。 — Susan Svrluga
特朗普对显示支持率低迷的民调不予理会
总统唐纳德·特朗普对显示其工作支持率跌至历史低点的民调不予理会，并在周一的一篇 Truth Social 帖子中写道：“我的真实民调数字，而不是那些由虚假新闻媒体编造的数字，是历史上最好的。”特朗普并未批评某项具体的近期民调，也没有引用显示他更受欢迎的民调。特朗普的抱怨是在昆尼皮亚克大学（32%）、CNN（34%）以及经济学人-YouGov（同样为 34%）的民调中，他的支持率跌至历史低点或创下新低之后发表的。尽管特朗普在其他民调中的表现较好，但全国平均水平显示其支持率在 36% 到 40% 之间，近几周下降了约一个百分点，与历史低点持平或创下新低。CNN 的民调发现，28% 的人对他处理伊朗问题的方式表示认可，比 3 月份下降了五个百分点。74% 的大多数人认为特朗普没有处理战争的明确计划，比 3 月份上升了七个百分点。特朗普写道“不要相信激进左翼的虚假民调数字”，但他长期关注公众舆论调查，强调他喜欢的调查结果并摒弃他不喜欢的调查结果。他在周末的举动似乎旨在平息一场民调显示美国人日益反对的战争。周六晚上，特朗普表示美国已取消针对伊朗的打击，且“协议的框架已经达成”，随后表示结束战争的谈判将于周一下午开始。伊朗外交部发言人否认了周一将恢复谈判的说法，不过《华盛顿邮报》报道称，地区调解人正在美国和伊朗之间传递信息。特朗普在周末的军事撤退发生在前一次停火协议崩溃约四周之后。根据美国能源信息署的数据，由于石油运输中断，上周汽油价格上涨了 32 美分，超过每加仑 $4。—— 斯科特·克莱门特 (Scott Clement)
一名联邦法官目前允许国土安全部继续实施在保护墨西哥边境德克萨斯州一个小镇的堤防系统中建设边境墙的计划，并驳回了该镇关于边境墙可能导致洪水泛滥的论点。周日晚些时候做出的这项决定对特朗普政府是一个胜利，因为该政府正加速推进沿墨西哥边境建设一座 460 亿美元 (460 亿美元 billion) 边境墙的努力。普雷西迪奥镇认为边境墙可能会导致洪水，且政府未遵守法律。 —— 美联社

照片由辛辛那提动物护理中心提供 Gelato 的下背部有脊髓损伤，通过一个由玩具车和尺子制成的轮椅获得了行走能力。轮椅在后方有一根支撑骨盆的杆，并用一个小红背带将其固定。
作者：凯尔·梅尔尼克 (KYLE MELNICK)
最近一个夜晚，赛尔·摩根 (Sayre Morgan) 在下班开车回家途中，在路边发现了一袋黄色的猫粮和一只瘦小的流浪小猫。他停下车，发现辛辛那提的一处山坡上不仅有一只，而是一窝小猫在游荡。然而，其中一只急需帮助：那只猫侧卧在地上，无法站立或行走。
摩根将这 5 只小猫带到了动物收容所，X 光检查发现，那只无法活动的猫腰部有脊髓损伤。收容所工作人员将其命名为 Gelato，他在尝试行走时会拖着后腿。
辛辛那提动物护理中心 (Cincinnati Animal Care) 的首席兽医助理马洛里·史密斯 (Mallory Smith) 表示，他似乎很感兴趣与其他猫互动，并喜欢玩羽毛玩具和球。但由于 Gelato 体重仅略高于 1 磅，身高约 4 英寸，对于收容所的轮椅来说太小了。
目前代养 Gelato 的史密斯希望让这只小猫拥有行走的能力——于是她产生了一个不寻常的想法。
7 月中旬，她开始用最近收到的一件包裹中的纸板裁剪，为 Gelato 制作一个手工轮椅。她用胶带将纸板条粘在一起，形成了轮椅的框架和支腿。
大约在同一时间，史密斯的一位朋友带着准备出售的一批旧 Hot Wheels 玩具车来拜访她。史密斯从他的袋子里抓了两辆救护车玩具，将它们粘在纸板底部，作为轮椅的轮子。
史密斯将 Gelato 放入轮椅中，用背部附近的一根杆支撑他的骨盆，并用一个小红背带将其固定。但当 Gelato 行走时，纸板散架了。
于是，史密斯从 Walgreens 买了 4 把木尺，每把 99 美分。她用电工胶带、布基胶带和扎带将每侧各固定了两把。
当她再次将 Gelato 放入轮椅时，他能够自由移动，而轮椅没有崩塌。27 岁的史密斯欣喜万分。“看到他能获得某种程度的自主[行动能力]，真的非常可爱。”

健康倡导者警告残障护理面临威胁
他表示，司法部近期的一份备忘录可能会缩减获取服务的渠道

在给卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）和代理总检察长托德·布兰奇 (Todd Blanche) 的信中，特奥林匹克运动会主席（同时也是肯尼迪的表亲）呼吁政府撤回一份司法部备忘录，该备忘录可能会削减联邦对残障护理的保护。
蒂姆·施赖弗 (Tim Shriver) 的这封信呼应了近期立法者和残障倡导者的抗议。这些人警告称，6月的那份备忘录要求重新解读最高法院关于残障权利的一项关键裁决，这可能会缩减数十万美国残障人士依赖的居家和社区护理服务的获取渠道，使他们无需被安置在机构中即可获得护理——而肯尼迪家族成员在整个政治生涯中一直支持这一事业。
“在某些方面，这是我们家族的核心激情所在，”施赖弗告诉《华盛顿邮报》。“我希望并相信肯尼迪部长能够理解这一点。”
在本文发布之时，卫生与公共服务部和司法部均未提供评论。
这份备忘录出台之际，患者和护理人员正准备应对总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 税收法案带来的医疗补助 (Medicaid) 削减，预计这也将损害残障服务。
“许多智力及发育障碍人士已经在担心，他们依赖的由医疗补助资助的支持和服务在未来是否依然存在，”施赖弗在上周发给肯尼迪和布兰奇并分享给本报的信中写道。
施赖弗是一位长期关注残障权利的活动人士，他表示是以个人名义发送的该信函。
2023年由 ALEXANDER HASSENSTEIN / GETTY IMAGES 拍摄 卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）的表亲蒂姆·施赖弗给肯尼迪和代理总检察长托德·布兰奇 (Todd Blanche) 写了一封信。
自1996年起，他一直领导特奥林匹克运动会，该组织为智力障碍儿童和成人组织体育赛事。
司法部法律顾问办公室于6月中旬发布的这份备忘录，主张对最高法院1999年在“奥姆斯特德诉L.C.案 (Olmstead v. L.C.)”中的裁决进行更宽松的解读，该案被视为残障权利的里程碑式案例。最高法院当时裁定，在残障人士能够且愿意接受社区服务的情况下，将其强制安置在机构中具有歧视性。
“‘奥姆斯特德案’创造了要求各州提供社区服务的工具，”乔治华盛顿大学健康法与政策教授、拜登政府时期的前卫生与公共服务部 (HHS) 官员艾莉森·巴考夫 (Alison Barkoff) 表示。
JOHN BAZEMORE / AP 照片拍摄于 10, 1999, 4月，图中为“奥姆斯特德诉L.C.案”的原告伊莱恩·威尔逊（Elaine Wilson，左）和洛伊丝·柯蒂斯（Lois Curtis）。她们起诉要求离开一家佐治亚州医院，最终引发了最高法院的诉讼。
倡导者认为，这些服务比机构护理更具成本效益，并能更好地使残障人士能够工作，并与家人及社区保持联系。根据健康政策研究组织 KFF 在 2024 年的估算，约有 4.5 百万医疗补助注册用户接受居家和社区护理，每年还有数十万人在这些服务的候补名单上。
“这些计划决定了生活是充实地度过，还是……陷入悲剧性的精神疾病、孤独、抑郁、隔绝和屈辱之中，”施赖弗告诉本报。
肯尼迪家族一直密切参与推动残障权利的努力。约翰·F·肯尼迪总统在1963年任职期间签署了一项重大的心理健康法案，并与参议员罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（卫生部长的父亲）共同推动将残障护理从机构化转向
社区服务。肯尼迪总统的妹妹、蒂姆·施赖弗的母亲尤妮丝·肯尼迪·施赖弗创立了特奥林匹克运动会。特朗普政府一直审查居家和社区服务是否存在欺诈行为，并认为一些州对其居家护理计划的监督不力。倡导者还担心，因医疗补助（Medicaid）削减而面临新压力的各州可能会削减对居家和社区服务的支持。反对者表示，司法部的备忘录将使各州更容易这样做。该备忘录认为，“奥姆斯特德案”（Olmstead）并不要求各州为残疾人提供居家和社区护理，且联邦政府没有权力强制执行此类指令。它承认，这种观点“与联邦法院内部对该裁决的普遍理解不一致”。
包括美国公民自由联盟（American Civil Liberties Union）、美国残疾人协会（American Association of People with Disabilities）和公共代表中心（Center for Public Representation）在内的团体谴责了司法部的立场。国会中的民主党人敦促该部门撤回该备忘录。倡导者表示，虽然司法部的意见没有改变法律，但它可能表明该部门将在执行“奥姆斯特德案”方面退缩。国家私人社区服务提供商协会（ANCOR）政府关系副总裁莉迪亚·道森（Lydia Dawson）表示：“这发出一个信号，即司法部和美国卫生与公众服务部正在退出对社区融合的承诺。”施赖弗表示，特朗普政府的立场威胁到了残疾人护理领域数十年艰苦奋斗取得的进展。他在给肯尼迪和布兰奇的信中写道：“我希望您能帮助确保我们的国家在包容性的承诺上继续前进，而不是后退。”

Flock 拥有一个庞大的人工智能路边摄像头网络，能够将经过的车牌记录到可映射的数据库中，警员在调查犯罪时可以进行检索。Flock 将其系统推销为警员梦寐以求的打击犯罪工具。但该工具也给了局长迈克尔·斯特夫曼（Michael Steffman）秘密监控贝克利（Bakely）生活的权力。根据 Have I Been Flocked（一个汇总通过公共记录公开的警方搜索日志的网站）显示，当贝克利意识到发生了什么时，斯特夫曼已经查询了她及其 teenage 女儿的车牌大约 600 次。斯特夫曼于 11 月被捕，被指控跟踪、骚扰和滥用车牌识别阅读器。4 月，在审判开始前，他被发现死在家中，官员称其为自杀。斯特夫曼工作的布雷泽尔顿（Braselton）镇经理拒绝置评。该镇的新任警察局长和斯特夫曼家中的四名成员未回应置评请求。
在硅谷一些顶尖投资者的支持下，Flock 已迅速成长为美国技术监控领域的巨头。作为这个激增的车牌识别阅读器行业的领导者，该公司告诉《华盛顿邮报》，其超过 120,000 台鞋盒大小的摄像头目前扫描着 6,000 多个社区的道路，每月记录 20 billion 次车牌扫描。
但不法分子已将这个庞大的摄像头网络作为一种强大的亲密监控武器。一份对警方和法院记录的分析显示，当局已指控或指责至少 50 名执法人员将车牌识别阅读器用于未经授权的目的，包括在女性不知情或未同意的情况下对其进行跟踪。在这些案件中的 26 起中，警方调查人员和检察官表示，警员利用该技术监视他们的妻子、女朋友、前任、前任的新伴侣或他们想要结识的女性。在其他案例中，警方或检察官未具体说明涉嫌监视的目标。
在《华盛顿邮报》分析的案例中，有 46 起使用了 Flock 的系统，其余案例则涉及竞争产品。许多车牌识别滥用案例此前曾由当地媒体报道，部分案例最初由位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的民权法律事务所——公正研究所（Institute for Justice）汇总。本报审阅了数千页的法院文件和警方内部报告，并对七名涉嫌受害者的个体进行了采访（其中一些人是首次公开发声），以全面描绘全国范围内警员滥用 Flock 及其他车牌识别阅读器的情形。
审查发现，关于是否激活某些设置，Flock 给予警方部门极大的自主权，而一些警方和隐私倡导者认为这些设置可以遏制不当行为；此外，许多部门对其警员的搜索行为监管有限。结果，违规警察能够精确且秘密地监视其目标人物的行踪。
在《华盛顿邮报》将调查结果转达给 Flock 后，该公司在一份声明中表示，它“将很快宣布更好的过滤器和工具，以便在滥用行为发生前将其制止”。Flock 官员在采访中表示，滥用其技术的警员在 140,000 名活跃用户中仅占极小比例，且公司提供了培训指南和搜索日志，以帮助警方部门进行内部审计。4 月，该公司推出了一项新的自愿性“审计辅助”功能（机构可选择启用），该功能会自动扫描警员的
搜寻可疑活动，例如重复针对同一辆车的查询，或由非在岗警察进行的查询。在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时，Flock首席执行官加勒特·朗利（Garrett Langley）表示，系统被滥用不可避免，公司目前的重点是提供在事后抓获违规者的工具。在与Flock签署的合同中，警察部门同意该工具仅用于对犯罪行为的“真诚调查”。“我们无法改变人性，而人类会做出错误的决定，”朗利说。“我们能做的是确保他们知道，如果你使用这个工具，你将被追究责任。”《华盛顿邮报》的调查揭露了该技术在全国范围内被滥用的程度，以及那些感到被持续监视的受害者及其家属所承受的代价。
分析发现，通过自动车牌识别系统（ALPRs），警察可以追踪其目标日常生活的节奏和行踪，在某些情况下，这导致了暴力冲突、心理操纵以及胁迫和控制的威胁。
在威斯康星州，根据一份本月开庭案件的警察宣誓书，一名警察涉嫌使用Flock检查其前女友是否前往堕胎诊所。
在堪萨斯州，一名州警察认证机构指称，一名通过Flock追踪前任的警察局长在对方与另一名男子亲密时潜行靠近，导致其被解雇。
在佛罗里达州，根据一份警察报告和车载记录仪视频，一名副警员在拦截一名被其添加到名为Guardian的车牌识别工具监视名单上的年轻女演员时，因超速几乎导致正面碰撞。该副警员于3月被捕，其律师拒绝评论。
在加利福尼亚州，根据一份量刑简报，检察官表示前副警员亚历山大·凡尼（Alexander Vanny）将Flock作为一项持续数月“跟踪”和“羞辱”前未婚妻计划的一部分，该计划还包括在镇上跟踪她以及在其室友的浴室中安装隐藏摄像头。
凡尼被陪审团判定10项指控成立，包括跟踪和未经授权访问电子 era. 数据。

On July 29, Steffman 搜寻了 21 次 Flock 数据库中 Bakely 的车牌，其中 17 次发生在 5 - 6 p.m. 之间。
你怎么知道我前几天去了克利夫兰？我没告诉你
但你怎么会知道？你在哪里看的？
电子数据，并于 2 月被判处六年监禁。 他的律师告诉《华盛顿邮报》，该案件集中在 Vanny 为一名男子拍摄车牌的行为上，该男子在一名女性前往酒吧后将其前未婚妻开车带走，而 Vanny 这样做是出于对她的担心。
虽然部分搜索导致了警员被起诉并判刑，但在其他案例中，即便在收到被滥用的警告后，警察部门仍允许警员继续使用这些系统。
“这并非一次性的判断失误；而是一种持续的、重复的、强迫性的行为，”一名威斯康星州女性在申请家庭暴力禁制令的请愿书中写道，她表示 Flock 的数据显示，她的前男友（一名警员）搜索了她及其伴侣的车牌 179 次。她表示，自己一直生活在“持续的恐惧和不安之中”。
一系列隐私倡导者认为，Flock 可以通过对其产品进行简单的修改来震慑违规者，例如要求警员为每次搜索标记一个刑事案件编号。一些警务专家还警告说，各机构在制定和执行车牌识别器标准程序方面缺乏一致性，可能会导致进一步的违规行为。由于没有联邦法律约束，且州法律仅是碎片化的，美国大约 18,000 个警察机构中的许多机构只能自行决定相关规则。
克里斯蒂安·奎恩 (Christian Quinn) 曾任弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯县警察局指挥官，现为各机构和技术供应商提供咨询，他表示，隐私功能和地方政府的监督不应损害警察履行职责的能力。他说，大幅限制车牌技术的规则可能会“导致这些技术被完全弃用”。但倡导组织电子前哨基金会 (Electronic Frontier Foundation) 的网络安全主任伊娃·加尔佩林 (Eva Galperin) 表示，该工具被滥用是“不可避免的”，而且该公司迄今为止采取的方法，加上警察领导层的监管不力，几乎无法保护女性免受虐待警员的侵害。“Flock 已经声称他们有监督机制，有护栏，但我们仍然看到了这类滥用行为，”她说。
警员的搜索记录由警察机构保存，但只有部分记录可通过公共记录请求获得，这使得人们很难发现自己的车辆是否被追踪。一些女性表示，她们直到收到内部事务调查员的电话，或者通过 Have I Been Flocked 等第三方工具运行其车牌号码后，才得知自己被监视。一些受害者（如巴克利）还表示，由于加害者是警察，被赋予了在行动秘密的情况下进行调查的广泛权力，且受雇于她们被告知寻求帮助的同一个机构，她们很难让人们严肃对待自己的遭遇。
巴克利说，这些摄像头让她感到无力阻止前男友追踪她的生活。她说，她不敢向他领导的警察机构寻求帮助，且无法获取能证明监视正在实时发生的记录。在斯特夫曼告诉她关于 Flock 搜索的事情后，她申请了禁制令，但法院记录显示，法官以她无法证明存在持续虐待为由驳回了申请。她说，他“监视我的一举一动”。但“你能把警察局长交给谁处理？”
11 次搜索 发生在 7 月 23 日 晚上 9 点至 午夜之间。
马尔西·巴克利 (Marci Bakely) 表示，她的前男友（亚特兰大附近一个小镇的警察局长）通过使用 Flock “监视我的一举一动”。
“与DNA一样具有颠覆性” 当Bakely在2022年通过约会软件Tinder结识Steffman时，他看起来像是个完美的人选。他有孩子，还执教少棒棒球。他喜欢粗俗的笑话，赞美之词信口拈来。而且他事业稳定，在执法部门工作了20年。在经历了几个艰难的月份——期间身为美国空军退伍军人的Bakely为了离父母近一些而改变了生活环境——他让她感到安全，觉得不再孤单。“他简直是我唯一的朋友，”她在一次采访中说道。她说，几个月后，他开始表现得不同——控制欲更强，且多疑。她告诉《华盛顿邮报》，他翻看了她13年的Facebook历史记录，强迫她屏蔽那些给她留言的男人。他还要求访问她的Ring门铃摄像头，并查阅了她手机通讯录中的所有姓名。她说，两人在2023, 年后期分手，但Steffman的短信并没有停止。根据《华盛顿邮报》查阅的一段短信记录，他会随机地，有时在半夜，询问一些关于她去了哪里且含义模糊的问题，然后说他已经“查过了”。她说，他似乎很享受掌握那些她不愿分享的秘密。在2024, 年7月的一天，在她敦促他做出解释后，他告诉她他使用了“Flock摄像头”。她不知道这意味着什么。“这是一个读取车牌的摄像头系统，”他在分享给《华盛顿邮报》的消息中写道。他坚称这只是一次判断失误，并且他“再也不会看一次”。“别担心，我没在追踪你，或者搞什么奇怪的跟踪狂那套，”他写道，并配了一个大笑的表情。
距离Flock在亚特兰大附近安装第一个摄像头已经过去七年了。那是朗利（Langley）的一个想法——当时他是乔治亚理工学院刚毕业的工程专业学生——旨在保护他的社区免受一系列抢劫案的侵害。朗利的第一个摄像头是一部安卓手机，挂在室外的防水盒子里。但很快，他的创业公司开始将自己宣传为规模大得多的东西，称其正在构建“第一个能够消除犯罪的公共安全操作系统”。公开合同文件显示，该公司派遣安装人员在公共道路沿线挂设摄像头，并派遣销售团队前往市政厅和警察博览会，提供每年每台摄像头约$3,000的快速启动租赁方案。数以千计的城市和警察部门接受了这一方案，Flock还让他们可以选择将其Flock数据与其他机构共享，或查看跨城市或州界线其他机构的数据。许多业主协会、公寓小区和购物中心也开始签约，这让他们能够搜索自己的本地摄像头馈送。
Flock迅速成为这个新兴的车牌识别业务中最显眼的参与者，与Axon的Fleet 3和摩托罗拉（Motorola）的VehicleManager等竞争对手的系统相竞争。尽管缺乏同行那样成熟的执法关系，但Flock的监控订阅方案使其摄像头能够被小镇警察局和社区巡逻组所使用。Flock去年表示，其年收入已超过$300 million。公司文件显示，Flock告知各机构，它们可以制定“关于谁可以访问系统以及如何使用系统的自己的书面规则”。根据Flock的规定，机构领导决定哪些警员获得登录凭据，而警员在进行搜索时不需要搜查令；他们只需输入车牌号即可开始。随着时间的推移，Flock升级了其工具的监控能力，创建了
公司文件显示，Flock 提供了“热点名单”功能，每当目标车辆被摄像头捕捉到时，都会通知警员；以及一项“车辆指纹”功能，允许警员根据车辆的外观或特征（例如，任何贴有保险杠贴纸的白色面包车）进行搜索，而无需知道其车牌号。Flock 的工程师还改进了摄像头，使其能够使用太阳能电池板和蜂窝网络，从而可以安装在任何地方并全天候记录。Flock 的旗舰摄像头 Falcon 使用了一种名为“计算机视觉”的 AI 图像识别技术，可以在夜间或大雨中读取疾驰车辆的车牌。包括 Facebook 早期投资者 Andreessen Horowitz 在内的各大风险投资公司已向 Flock 投入巨资，押注该公司能为警务工作带来革命性变革。作为一家私营公司，Flock 去年表示其业务价值 $7.5 billion。
在 4 月的一次 TED 演讲中，Langley 表示，在看到车牌识别器的成功之后，公司已扩展到制造摄像头无人机、警用软件和音频检测设备。他提到，一名警察局长曾告诉他，这些设备对于打击犯罪来说，“就像 DNA 一样具有变革性”。他分享了警察如何利用 Flock 拦截一名在田纳西州绑架女孩的绑架者的故事，并表示：“我不知道还需要多少个 11 岁的女孩被绑架……我们才会说够了。”当被台上问及系统的使用是否曾让他感到不安时，Langley 引用了近期三起警员滥用职权的案例，其中一起与 Steffman 的情况类似：“乔治亚州北部的一名警察局长使用 Flock 跟踪前伴侣。”然而，Langley 指出，Flock 的审计日志已被用于调查该滥用行为——他说，这证明了公司的保障措施在发挥作用。“他可能是一个坏人。无论用什么方法，他都会这么做的，”Langley 说道，“因此我看向 Flock 声称去年帮助支持的 1 million-plus 次刑事调查，心想，好吧，这是我可以接受的权衡。”
“警察已经在那里了” 几个月来，Bakely 都没有意识到自己开车的次数有多少次经过了 Flock 摄像头。那些摄像头看起来像自动空气清新剂，安装在黑色公用电线杆的高处。其中一个记录了她前往 Kroger 超市的道路；另一个对着一家加油站。在她居住的杰斐逊小镇中心，有两个记录设备朝向相反方向，分别位于镇中心小溪的两侧。
当 Steffman 说他只查询过一次她的车牌时，她相信了他。几个月后，Bakely 在当地新闻中听说了“Have I Been Flocked”网站并查询了其车牌的搜索记录，才得知真相。审计记录显示，在约 13 个月的时间里，他曾数百次搜索她的车辆，有时一周就搜索数十次。他的许多搜索发生在午夜到 4 a.m. 之间。
随着 Flock 在警察中的普及程度激增，越来越多的警员开始将该工具视为个人间谍设备。在堪萨斯州，一名女性某天早上开车送孩子去父亲家吃早餐，随后开始收到前夫、凯奇警察中尉 Victor Heiar 发来的短信，要求知道她把孩子带到了哪里。这一情况源于她接受警察的采访，以及她与调查人员分享的、经由《华盛顿邮报》审阅的短信。
Heiar 随后描述了她刚刚所在的餐厅……
参见 A11 页关于 FLOCK 的报道
她告诉警方，他庆祝了她的生日，并找到了她带孩子去托儿所的中心——由于恐惧和不信任，她一直向他隐瞒该地点。Heiar 被解雇，其州警认证被撤销，并承认犯有计算机犯罪和跟踪罪，为此被判处 18 个月的缓刑。凯奇 (Kechi) 的警察局长拒绝发表评论。Heiar 及其律师未回应置评请求。而且，这种监视有时发生在暴力威胁或控制之前。在佛罗里达州，橙城 (Orange City) 的警员 Jarmarus Brown 通过 FaceTime 给他的女友打电话，向她展示其驾驶时的视频，一名警长办公室的报告称。一份调查员的事件报告指称，有一次他前往她的公寓，抓住她并提醒她自己携带枪支，导致她威胁要报警。报告称，他对此的回答是提到他自己的身份：
“警察已经在这儿了。” Brown 于去年被捕，并对一项未经授权使用计算机的指控表示不抗辩。他本月被判处五年缓刑并处以 $618 罚金。Brown 的律师和橙城警方未回应置评请求。在某些案例中，警员利用搜索来挖掘关于目标生活深层的个人信息。在威斯康星州，梅纳沙 (Menasha) 的警员 Christian Morales 使用 Flock 检查其当时的女友是否前往诊所“寻求潜在的终止上述妊娠”，一名来自另一警察部门、试图传唤 Flock 获取搜索记录的调查警员在宣誓书中所述。宣誓书指称，他给该女性发短信称他已核实她没有去诊所，并告诉她：“你继续撒谎。” 宣誓书还称，他随后联系了该诊所试图获取
她的医疗记录，在她家中与她对质，并开始每天给她打电话多达 19 次。该女性和 Morales 的律师拒绝发表评论。梅纳沙警方未回应置评请求。Morales 在 1 月被指控在公职中失职，并已辩称无罪。一份刑事起诉书称，Morales 承认搜索了该女性的车辆，并在 Flock 系统中将其标注为“福利”检查，并将他的决定归咎于判断失误、绝望和睡眠不足。然而，一些警员为他们的个人搜索辩护，称这是警察的正常行为。根据一项内部事务调查，佛罗里达州尼斯维尔 (Niceville) 的警员 Coty Wayne Hall 进行了 192 次不当的 Flock 搜索，包括追踪一名前恋爱对象。该女性也是一名警员，她告诉调查人员，他曾在某天她带孩子去公园时，给她发短信告知她当天穿着的细节。Hall 被解雇，并对计算机系统滥用、跟踪和殴打指控表示不抗辩，被判处缓刑。在一次采访中，他说被描述成“某种怪物”是不公平的。他说，部门里“几乎每个人”都不恰当地使用该计算机系统”，而且“他们[几乎]没有像应该那样对其进行审计”。尼斯维尔警察局局长 Mark Hayse 在一份声明中表示，该部门对 Flock 的使用进行了审计，“发现只有一个人不合规”。
“没有后果” Flock 的辩护者认为，对违规执法人员的起诉证明了其监管机制有效。但在某些案例中，即使被指控滥用，相关人员仍被允许继续搜索 Flock 的数据。
在爱达荷州杰罗姆县，警长加里·泰勒（Gary Taylor）告诉《邮报》，在前任警长乔治·奥佩迪克（George Oppedyk）被一名检察官向爱达荷州总检察长办公室投诉后的几周里，他每天多次搜索其妻子的车辆。奥佩迪克在数月后辞职，比其任期原定结束时间早了两年多，且未受到总检察长劳尔·R·拉布拉多（Raúl R. Labrador）的指控。拉布拉多在 2 月的一封信中表示，他的办公室无法证明该行为构成了“排除合理怀疑”的犯罪。信中称，奥佩迪克辩称他运行搜索是为了“检查系统的可靠性”。
拉布拉多在一份声明中表示，他的办公室没有权力起诉奥佩迪克，因为在爱达荷州，滥用车牌识别系统不被视为一项“独立犯罪”。他表示，他正与州立法者合作解决这一“法律漏洞”，以便能够起诉未来的滥用行为。
泰勒在一次采访中表示，Flock 是一个强大的执法工具，但他担心“少数坏苹果[可能会]毁掉所有人的机会”。“如果因为滥用系统的警长没有受到惩罚而导致没有后果，那么怎么能阻止其他人做同样的事？”泰勒说。奥佩迪克没有回应置评请求。
《邮报》确认的绝大多数监控目标均为女性，其中几位表示，这种经历——带有威胁性的信息以及导致她们意识到被监视的对质——让她们感到被侵犯且陷入瘫痪。电子前哨基金会（EFF）的加尔佩林（Galperin）表示，权力不对等是该工具在坏警察手中如此危险的主要原因。“滥用者的目标是让自己显得无所不知且无所不能，”她说。“你不需要时刻盯着你的受害者。他们只需要相信你在任何时刻都可能在盯着他们。”
在某些案例中，车牌数据仅是一个更广泛跟踪计划的一部分。4 月，堪萨斯州邦纳斯普林斯（Bonner Springs）的前警员凯尔·雷克托（Kyle Rector）被指控使用执法设备跟踪其分居的妻子以及他认为她正在交往的两名男子，手段包括使用名为 ELSAG 的车牌识别系统数据。调查人员还声称，他们在她的电脑上发现了安装的监控软件，并在她卧室的灯开关中发现了隐藏的摄像机。雷克托在案件中尚未做出抗辩，其律师拒绝置评。初步听证会定于 9 月举行。邦纳斯普林斯警方表示，该机构正与调查人员合作。ELSAG 的开发商——安全承包商 Leonardo 公司表示，它提供培训和审计工具以鼓励负责任地使用。
遭受广泛跟踪让一些女性深感不安，迫使部分人改变生活方式，或开始驾驶亲属的车辆，希望以此避免被跟踪。一名在威斯康星州担任警长副职的女性由于担心进一步骚扰而要求匿名，她表示，在短短一天之内，她就曾被一名同事搜索过 16 次车牌。
曾有过一段浪漫关系。 该副手在一次内部调查后失去了工作，但并未面临刑事指控。她在一次采访中表示，缺乏惩罚让这件事变得更难让她释怀。 “我一周没出门，”她说，“我害怕见到他。” 前家庭法律师兼网络安全培训组织 EndTAB 的创始人亚当·道奇（Adam Dodge）表示，该工具太容易被警员滥用以实施家庭暴力。他指出，由于加害者拥有枪支、警徽并能接触监控技术，这使得受害者更难举报自己的怀疑，因为他们担心不被相信，且在发声后可能会面临报复。 “任何时候，只要你给一个具有虐待倾向的人使用这类系统的权限，他们就很有可能滥用它，”他说。而且，“如果你是一名受害者，你还能去哪里……”
被滥用——你会向执法部门举报，对吧？” 一些最终举报滥用行为的女性表示，她们被轻视或被忽略了。宾夕法尼亚州利奇堡的一位母亲亚历山德里亚·格里菲斯（Alexandria Griffith）在一次采访中表示，她多次向警局和地区检察官办公室警告，她的警员丈夫一直在跟踪并威胁她。在一次她与《华盛顿邮报》分享的短信记录中，该警员迈克尔·麦克谢里（Michael McSherry）分享了一张她在Flock竞争对手的搜索结果中的车牌截图，以此声称她对他撒谎。他写道：“车牌识别器不会撒谎。”格里菲斯说，这两个机构的官员都驳回了她的请求。根据一份警方报告，几天之内，麦克谢里持枪在她的父母家中与她对质，推搡她和她 4 岁的儿子，并威胁要自杀。

在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时，麦克谢里对滥用车牌识别器跟踪格里菲斯表示遗憾，并对警方报告中对该冲突的描述提出了异议。他被逮捕并承认跟踪和滥用职权罪，为此他在监狱中服刑约 11 个月。 “很多人……都知道这一切在发生，”格里菲斯说，“而他们基本上就是敷衍我。”
“监管警察” Flock 表示，鉴于全国范围内的用户网络庞大，且任何工具都可能被滥用，滥用事件虽令人遗憾，但难以完全杜绝。该公司表示，其审计日志在内部调查中证明具有价值，且“审计辅助”功能已帮助处理了一些滥用实例。
Flock 上个月表示，佐治亚州奥尔巴尼的一个部门在该功能标记出违规迹象后，解雇了五名警员。Flock 负责人兰利驳回了活动人士要求公司进一步限制警员使用其产品的呼吁。 “没有人选举我为美国的警察局长，”他去年告诉《福布斯》，并补充道，“我认为监管警察不是我们的工作。” 根据纽约大学法学院警务项目（Policing Project）法律与政策主任马克斯·艾萨克斯（Max Isaacs）的说法，大多数执法机构禁止警员出于个人目的访问任何警察数据库，在许多部门中，此类滥用行为被视为可被解雇的违规行为。 但由于规则和条例碎片化，此类警员受到惩罚的程度因其所属机构和州而异，差异巨大。十三
ARTUR GALOCHA / THE WASHINGTON POST
NYU 研究小组发现，一些州通过了法律要求警察部门审计警员对车牌识别阅读器的使用情况。至少有 8 个州将滥用车牌识别阅读器的行为定为刑事犯罪，其中包括佐治亚州，该州法律将此罪行分类为“具有高度且加重性质”的轻罪。一些隐私倡导者认为，Flock 公司和警察部门可以通过一些非常基础的改变来防止滥用。美国公民自由联盟（American Civil Liberties Union）的政策分析师杰伊·斯坦利（Jay Stanley）告诉《华盛顿邮报》，每次搜索都应将提供刑事案件编号作为“标准的预期操作”，因为这可以帮助“让谎言更难地被撒出，并让一个管理良好且在意的部门更容易地检测到违规”。Flock 公司去年表示，将开始允许各机构为其警员开启刑事案件编号要求，但这是一个可选设置。
该公司发言人告诉《华盛顿邮报》，大约 1 in 4 的机构开启了“审计协助”功能，该功能会向警察主管发送应用内通知。尽管 Flock 在培训指南中称，警员应详细说明每次搜索的原因，但《华盛顿邮报》审阅的文件显示，许多搜索仅以模糊的单个词汇作为解释，例如“调查”，这使得内部事务团队难以进行评估。在密苏里州的一座城市中，一个名为 DeFlock Joplin 的倡导组织在向警方请求审计日志后表示，85 per cent 的搜索仅有一个词的理由，如“可疑”或“毒品”，且只有不到 3 percent 的搜索与刑事案件相关联。一些专家怀疑，许多审计日志根本没有被审查——而且如果审查的话，官员们会发现更多滥用案例。
司法研究所（Institute for Justice）和其他团体建议，只有在获得法官签署的搜查令后，才允许警员进行 Flock 搜索，这与现实世界中的警察搜查类似。Flock 的一名发言人表示，公司“没有能力或责任强制要求搜查令”，而 Flock 的辩护者和投资者则认为，这种限制会使该工具变得繁琐，并削弱警员的侦查优势。前警务指挥官奎因（Quinn）表示：“大多数情况下，当你需要车牌信息时，这是一个时效性问题。”他认为，要求搜查令可能会延迟警察对当前安全威胁的响应。警察执行研究论坛（Police Executive Research Forum，一家就警务实践向各机构提供建议的非营利组织）执行主任查克·韦克斯勒（Chuck Wexler）表示，警察部门在很大程度上承认车牌识别阅读器需要监督，但由于缺乏关于该技术的联邦法律，许多部门尚未实施严格的指导方针以防止滥用。韦克斯勒说：“这就是技术与警务的特性。技术往往比政策领先一步，我认为车牌识别阅读器的情况正是如此。”
一些制定了自身规则的机构发现，随着技术能力的更新，他们不得不匆忙更新规则。新泽西州计划协调员吉姆·希汉（Jim Sheehan）负责帮助起草该州 500 多个执法机构遵循的政策，他表示，自 2010 年采用规则以来，他已在帮助修订当地车牌识别阅读器标准第三次。然而，一些倡导者担心，Flock 目前的做法仅仅是允许警方官员进行“自我监管”。根据上个月的一份刑事起诉书，在密尔沃基，一名调查同事滥用 Flock 的内部事务侦探在另一项调查中被发现滥用 Flock 监视一名未具名受害者，随后承认在受害者的车上安装了 GPS 追踪器。该侦探特兰吉·查普曼（Tehrangi Chapman）被指控在公职中失职及滥用
一个 GPS 设备的。查普曼及其律师未回应置评请求。密尔沃基警长杰弗里·B·诺曼在一份声明中表示：“法律面前人人平等。”北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校研究监控的教授托林·莫纳汉表示，Flock 对加强用户监督的抵制仅是一种“问责表演”，旨在最大限度地减少丑闻，并最大限度地增加来自公共部门客户的新注册量。“他们不希望警方的采用受到任何阻碍，”他说，“网络中的摄像头越多，网络就越强大。”但 Flock 投资者 Andreessen Horowitz 的合伙人大卫·尤莱维奇表示，超过 40 起 Flock 滥用案件相对于全国数十万名警员来说，是一个“极小之数”。他在一次采访中说，这“完全不是问题”……“顺便说一句，多亏了 Flock，这 40 名警员现在受到了纪律处分、被起诉或被解雇，否则他们不会受到处理。”
对于贝克利来说，根据随后公开并由 Have I Been Flocked 汇编的搜索日志，来自其前男友的搜索在 2025 年 8 月停止。那个月，她向法院申请针对斯特夫曼的禁制令，并在申请书中写道，他“利用交通（Flock）摄像头追踪我的位置”。一名法官否决了她的请求，称斯特夫曼的行为“令人担忧”，但贝克利没有证据来“支持目前关于跟踪的指控”。在他建议贝克利向当地警长办公室提交投诉后，该办公室随后将此案移交给佐治亚州调查局。三个月后，当特工逮捕斯特夫曼时，局官员表示调查发现他滥用车牌系统“骚扰和跟踪多个人员”。
斯特夫曼在审判开始前去世，高等法院记录中未列出其律师。发送给斯特夫曼四名家庭成员的电话、电子邮件和短信均未得到回复。在 LinkedIn 上，他曾表示自己在执法部门职业生涯结束后退休，其工作重心是“确保每位居民都感到被关注、被倾听和被保护”。布雷瑟尔顿的镇经理拒绝评论，但前任镇经理在一份声明中表示，镇政府对“相关情况和指控感到失望”。在 GBI 宣布逮捕他之前的五天，该镇的 Facebook 页面发布了一张照片，显示斯特夫曼与市长和镇议会成员在一起，庆祝他 20 年的“奉献服务”。帖子称，他的“领导力与承诺”已经“帮助塑造了该部门，并加强了我们社区的安全”。

MOSES SAWASAWA / AP 埃丝特·卢图拉 (Esther Lutula)，26 岁，已怀孕四个月且四个孩子的母亲，于 6 月在刚果民主共和国东北部的布尼亚家中。刚果正与有记录以来增长最快的埃博拉疫情作斗争。
据联合国人口基金刚果办事处称，随着疫情消息的传播，刚果民主共和国伊图里省的孕产妇死亡率迅速翻倍。

刚果，布尼亚 —— 在刚果民主共和国宣布当前的埃博拉疫情后不久，埃丝特·卢图拉停止了产前检查。在怀孕中期，这位 26 岁的女性担心仅仅因为发烧就被隔离，这是一种常见的误解。
“这就是为什么我在等待疾病不再广泛传播，”她在位于伊图里省省会布尼亚的家中告诉美联社。布尼亚是 5 月 15 日宣布的疫情震中。
但这可能是一个致命的错误。
据联合国人口基金刚果办事处副代表诺埃米·达尔蒙特 (Noemi Dalmonte) 称，随着疫情消息的传播，整个伊图里省的孕产妇死亡率很快翻倍，平均每周约有六名女性死于分娩并发症。
而此前平均每周有 3.1 例孕产妇死亡
工党在全国民调中上升
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆领导的工党在全国民调中首次在一年多时间里领先于反移民的英国改革党。在此之前，一个与特朗普结盟的激进势力主导了英国政坛 16 个月，而现在该势力正深陷腐败指控，且面临新任首相就职前两周展现出的高效活力。
自 7 月 24 日以来进行的五项全国民调显示，工党领先改革党两个到五个百分点，其中三项显示双方持平。
《金融时报》周一的民调跟踪显示，工党以 24 percent 胜过 25 percent 的微弱优势领先于改革党。其他民调显示差距更大，包括截至周六的 PollCheck 七项民调移动平均值，显示工党支持率近 26 percent。
今年疫情爆发前，死亡人数较低，而 5 月 25 日至 7 月 19. 期间跳升至 5.8 例死亡。其中，医疗中心外的死亡率在同一时期也从 9.1 percent 跳升至 17.4 percent，联合国人口基金（UNFPA）的数据显示。
在刚果应对记录中增长最快的埃博拉疫情（已有超过 1,600 例确认死亡）之际，医疗和救援人员警告称，由于孕妇避开医院，该国本已高企的孕产妇死亡率正在进一步攀升，一场影子危机正在逼近。
虽然非洲人在公共卫生紧急状态期间因安全顾虑而避开医疗中心很常见，但达尔蒙特在一次采访中表示：“在埃博拉疫情中，这种情况更严重，因为关于埃博拉有很多传言。”
由于一些谨慎的居民质疑埃博拉是否真的存在，且在刚果最偏远、最不稳定的地区，医疗工作者在物资匮乏的情况下艰难应对疫情，孕妇获得的护理比以往任何时候都少。
刚果的每名女性分娩率和分娩相关死亡率均处于世界最高水平之列。
这个广袤的中非国家的女性平均拥有近 6 个孩子。根据联合国的最新数据，2023, 年刚果有至少 19,000 名女性死于妊娠并发症，与印度持平，在全球范围内仅次于尼日利亚。
支持率，改革党近 24，保守党近 20。
虽然差距很小，但这标志着第一个切实迹象，表明伯纳姆的到来可能正在削弱改革党的上涨势头，此前该党在全国一系列近期的选举中占据主导地位。
与唐纳德·特朗普总统一样，改革党将针对移民、精英以及所谓的“觉醒媒体”的不满转化为其核心组织力量。
在 5 月的地方选举中，奈杰尔·法拉奇的政党获得了约 28 percent 的选票——比最接近的竞争对手领先 11 个百分点——赢得了 1,000 多个议会席位，并掌控了约 12 个议会，其中许多位于工党控制的中部和北部地区。
工党在未来三年内不会面临全国大选。但改革党的获益引发了工党议员中针对首相基尔·斯塔默的恐慌，他们上个月在内部投票决定更换
埃洛迪·亚比里，一名来自布尼亚的孕妇
如今，伊图里州的卫生工作者表示，由于人们担心感染风险，就诊人数正在下降。这种类型的埃博拉病毒没有经过批准的治疗方法或疫苗。 需要护理的女性也担心被卷入暴力事件中。由于误导性信息或对严格疫情管控措施的愤怒，当地居民攻击了埃博拉治疗中心。 在布尼亚的贝内迪克特诊所（Bénédicte Clinic），登记产前护理的女性人数从每月 60 人下降到 10, 人左右，该诊所医疗主任桑尼·姆温博（Sonny Mwembo）地说道。 即便在开展打击误导性信息的努力数周之后，一些居民对这次疫情仍持有错误看法。 “现在，如果你觉得不舒服去医院，他们会说这是埃博拉，然后立刻把你隔离起来。这就是让人们恐惧的地方，”布尼亚居民、孕妇埃洛迪·亚比里（Elodie Yabiri）说道。 亚比里表示，她正在避免就医。

斯塔默与大曼彻斯特前市长伯纳姆（Burnham）在一起。伯纳姆通过一系列生活成本措施主导了广播和社交媒体：能源账单减税、2 英镑（约 $2.65）的公交车票价格上限，以及降低酒吧和俱乐部的商业税率。 伦敦政治经济学院政治学教授托尼·特拉弗斯（Tony Travers）表示，在初期阶段，伯纳姆似乎引起了共鸣。 “氛围似乎有所不同，”特拉弗斯说。“他似乎具备一种与选民建立联系的能力，而这正是斯塔默出了名的缺乏的。” 与此同时，法拉奇（Farage）数月来一直被财务问题困扰，其中包括一份来自加密货币亿万富翁的 5 million 英镑（约 $6.6 million）赠款，以及来自一名被定罪诈骗者的资金。伦敦警方正在调查向该政党支付的款项。 法拉奇为了获得民众的信任投票，于上个月辞去了议员席位，并将于 8 月 13. 日的特别选举中再次参选。但其他主要政党都在抵制这次竞选，这使得他最显眼的竞争对手变成了一个被称为“垃圾桶脸伯爵”（Count Binface）的、戴着垃圾桶头盔的讽刺外星人。 — 史蒂夫·亨德里克斯 (Steve Hendrix)
苏齐会见 红十字会代表
缅甸被拘留的前领导人昂山苏齐周一在首都与红十字国际委员会（ICRC）代表会面。军政府表示，这对于这位诺贝尔奖得主来说是罕见的与外界接触的机会，自2021年军方夺权以来，她一直被隔离在公众视野之外。
随公告发布的两张照片显示，苏齐与红十字国际委员会驻缅甸代表阿尔诺·德·贝克（Arnaud de Baecque）握手，并在一个
木镶板房间内与他会面。
发布这些照片的总统新闻与信息局表示，会议于周一上午举行，但未透露具体地点，也未提供讨论内容的细节。
红十字国际委员会在一份声明中确认，其一名代表根据访问被剥夺自由者的标准和程序访问了苏齐，并与她进行了私人交谈，但未披露讨论详情。
该组织表示，将继续与所有相关方接触，以维持并扩大其进入缅甸拘留场所的权限。
另外两张照片显示，苏齐正在切割一个粉色生日蛋糕，上面写着“苏姑姑生日快乐”，这表明照片可能拍摄于6月庆祝她81岁生日期间。在照片中，苏齐显得很放松，面带微笑。 — 美联社
埃博拉病毒虽然罕见，但具有高度传染性且病情严重，通常会导致死亡。它通过接触呕吐物、血液或精液等体液，以及接触被污染的表面和材料（如床上用品和衣物）在人群中传播。
当亲人患病时，女性通常是主要的护理者。在这次疫情中，许多女性同样处于一线医疗工作岗位。
美联社报道此次疫情的记者发现，响应人员中包含怀孕的医疗工作者。
“让他们知道如何保护自己，让他们获得正确的信息至关重要，”达尔蒙特（Dalmonte）表示。
美国疾病控制与预防中心在临床指南中指出，患有埃博拉病毒的孕妇面临更高的风险，包括流产。
同时，达尔蒙特表示，延迟就医并避开医疗机构的孕妇“可能并非死于埃博拉病毒本身，而是因为本可以救她们的医疗服务已不再可用、不再受信赖或不再安全”。
她们尽可能多地前往医院。只要她还能感觉到未出世的孩子在活动，她就相信一切仍然没问题。
这次疫情使刚果本就过度紧张的医疗体系雪上加霜，使得那些仍然寻求产前检查或分娩的孕妇就医更加困难。
据援助组织称，五个受影响省份的医疗设施正将人员和物资重新调配用于防疫，从而减少了必要的产妇护理服务的可及性。
至少有44名感染的医务工作者死亡。许多其他医务工作者因抗议欠薪而离职。自5月中旬宣布疫情以来，已记录到至少12起针对医疗设施和团队的袭击事件。
“我们正尽一切努力让公众明白这种疾病有多危险。我们没拿工资，没日没夜地工作，”伊图里省（Ituri）鲁安帕拉（Rwampara）卫生区的流行病学家兼社区调查员吉斯兰·马内巴（Ghislain Maneba）说道。
该岛遭遇今年第六次大停电
周一，古巴人正从今年第六次全国性停电中恢复。由于唐纳德·特朗普政府在1月实际上切断了其石油供应，该国目前仍处于崩溃状态。
随着美国持续对这个由共产党领导的政府进行施压，电网的崩溃使得人们在生存方面的选择变得更加匮乏。
在国有电力公司报告周日晚上再次发生另一次“全面”停电且未说明具体原因后，古巴政府正致力于恢复电力。在此之前，古巴西部地区发生了大范围停电，包括皮纳尔德里奥、马坦萨斯和哈瓦那等城市。到周一，哈瓦那的部分电力已恢复，但全国大部分地区仍处于断电状态。 ——美联社

俄罗斯最著名的反战政治人物之一鲍里斯·纳杰日金于周一逃离俄罗斯并宣布抵达法国。就在几天前，他被禁止参加今年秋季的议会选举。
在克里姆林宫于9月投票前加强对反对派人物的压力之际，纳杰日金因被指控展示“极端主义标志”而被禁止参选。
在一段在埃菲尔铁塔前拍摄的视频中，纳杰日金表示，在俄罗斯打压反战声音的情况下，他成功逃离了该国。
“好消息是我还活着且自由。但遗憾的是，我还没回到俄罗斯，”纳杰日金在这段发布在Telegram即时通讯软件上的视频中说道。
此前，俄罗斯当局因一名针对纳杰日金的破产案件正在进行而禁止其离境，并将其贴上“外国代理人”的标签，因为克里姆林宫正致力于将著名的反战政治人物排除在议会选举竞选之外。
纳杰日金没有解释他是如何成功逃离该国的。
在上个月接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时，纳杰日金表示他担心自己的生命安全，并将寻求在第一时间离开俄罗斯。
他表示，他的律师正在就旅行禁令提出上诉，并且他将完全退出俄罗斯的反对派政治，因为政府已使其变得不可能。
“我们非常清楚（那些人的）结局”
见 A1 页关于卢默的报道
特朗普在网上推广了她对泽连斯基的采访。尽管一些顾问对此感到不快，但特朗普一直是卢默的坚定支持者，赞扬她的执着以及对他个人的忠诚。近期，特朗普对乌克兰的态度也变得稍微支持一些，他在 7 月的一次北约峰会上宣布，他对于基辅在俄罗斯境内发动袭击感到可以接受，并为允许乌克兰获得美国导弹防御技术的许可打开了大门。近几个月来，由于基辅抵制了俄罗斯在战场上的推进，并将其威胁深入克里姆林宫领土内部，特朗普对曾被他将之驱逐出白宫的泽连斯基态度变得更为温和。在周二与泽连斯基会面后，特朗普表示他希望泽连斯基结束战争，但并未在泽连斯基与俄罗斯总统普京之间采取任何立场。他说：“这很简单：我和两人都相处得很好。我和普京总统相处得好，我和泽连斯基总统相处得好。”
卢默表示，她希望说服美国人相信俄罗斯才是问题所在。在多年抨击泽连斯基并反对美国支持乌克兰之后，卢默从该国返回，成为了一个全力主张建立战略联盟的传道者，将乌克兰对俄罗斯的抵抗与特朗普在伊朗的战争联系起来。她在一次采访中说：“俄罗斯反美，他们的价值观不是我们的价值观，他们想要多极化，这意味着美国霸权的终结，这对美国不利”——这呼应了两党中主张建立强大国际联盟并抵抗克里姆林宫的鹰派政治家长期以来的观点。她说，如果她是总统，美国“会想办法让俄罗斯总统突然死于致命的心脏病发作”。
直到去年 9 月，她还在公开批评泽连斯基。在他于联合国与叙利亚总统艾哈迈德·沙拉会面后，她在 X 平台上发布称：“乌克兰是一个充满纳粹辩护者的国家，现在显然是一个由圣战分子辩护者领导的国家。”
卢默这次引起关注的公开转变，发生在基辅失去其在特朗普亲信圈中最著名的倡导者——参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（共和党-南卡罗来纳州）几天之后。格雷厄姆在乌克兰会见泽连斯基后的次日，即 7 月 11 日，因主动脉夹层去世。她的惊人反转标志着乌克兰在争取美国保守派努力方面取得了胜利，反击了克里姆林宫多年的渗透活动。
鲍里斯·纳杰日金（图中显示 7 月在俄罗斯法院外与记者交谈）已被禁止离开该国。
“（鲍里斯）内姆佐夫和（阿列克谢）纳瓦尔尼，”他告诉《华盛顿邮报》，指的是两名被杀的知名反对派政治人物。内姆佐夫在 2015 年被枪杀于克里姆林宫附近的一座桥上，就在他计划领导抗议俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的前几天。根据西方政府的说法，纳瓦尔尼在 2024 年被毒杀。
博主劳拉·卢默在结束乌克兰之行后，成为了使美国再次伟大 (MAGA) 阵营中支持该国在与俄罗斯战争中最著名的倡导者之一。
已经将该党许多里根时代的俄罗斯鹰派边缘化。
一年之前，泽连斯基和奥尔加·斯特法尼希娜（Olha Stefanishyna）——现任其即将离任的驻华盛顿大使——制定了一项策略，旨在接触使美国再次伟大 (MAGA) 的影响者，即使这些人是乌克兰怀疑论者，她表示。
“她这次访问的结果极具影响力，”斯特法尼希娜周四告诉记者，并补充说，让卢默参观基辅一家被炸毁的麦当劳是她的主意。“我们期望她能鼓励每一个人，你知道，从唐纳德·特朗普总统到任何其他愿意这样做的人，来到乌克兰旅行，亲眼看看她所看到的一切。”
这位大使表示，当泽连斯基周一抵达华盛顿时，她与他讨论了卢默的访问。
“我的总统在看到这次采访时真的很高兴，”斯特法尼希娜说。“当他们讨论此事时，他的脸上带着非常灿烂的笑容。”
但她拒绝回答关于大使馆在卢默此次行程中扮演什么角色的问题。
卢默表示，一些她拒绝透露姓名的美国捐赠者帮助支付了安保费用，但她没有接收任何外国资金。卢默通过众筹——
一座俄罗斯监狱。
“我非常担心，”纳杰日金说。“对我来说，情况非常艰难。”
在周一从巴黎发布的社交媒体帖子中，纳杰日金表示，他现在将“评估形势，并想办法继续生活”。
他承诺将提供关于其计划的最新进展。他确实
劳拉·卢默 (Laura Loomer) 表示，她预计本月将访问白宫，讨论她的乌克兰之行。
并未立即回应进一步评论的请求。 鲍里斯·纳杰日金 (Boris Nadezhdin) 最初作为一名反对派政治人物崭露头角，当时他在俄罗斯 2024 年总统大选中发起反对战争的竞选，赢得了数十万人的支持签名，直到当局拒绝登记他的候选人资格。 在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时，纳杰日金表示，他在 2024 年竞选期间面临过克里姆林宫的压力，但他表示现在所面临的情况“糟糕得多”。 政府在选举前还加大了对倾向自由派的苹果党 (Yabloko Party) 的压力，该党试图在“为了和平与自由”的口号下开展竞选——这是一个针对俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京推动征服行动的明确信息。 上周，中央选举委员会登记了苹果党参加 9 月投票的资格，但该党被禁止在其最受欢迎的城市据点参选，包括圣彼得堡及邻近的卡累利亚地区。 十多名苹果党成员还面临指控，称他们展示了所谓的极端主义标志（包括发布关于纳瓦尔尼的帖子），结果被禁止参加联邦和地区选举。 在纳杰日金的案例中，被指控展示的所谓极端主义标志涉及分享一个包含纳瓦尔尼图像的视频链接。 在目前的竞选活动中，纳杰日金在“和平。发展。公正选举。强有力的城市”的口号下收集签名。他主张结束俄罗斯针对乌克兰的战争，并主张取消互联网限制，后者已在俄罗斯全境引起广泛愤怒。 纳杰日金在一次在 YouTube 频道 “The Breakfast Show” 播出的采访中告诉一名莫斯科知名记者，他担心自己的反战立场会带来后果，几天后他被禁止离开该国。 “如果我还年轻且单身，我会毫不犹豫地进入监狱并坚持我的路线，”他在采访中被问到离开该国的问题时说道。“但当你不再那么年轻，健康状况不佳，且还有孩子要抚养时，你不得不对此三思。”
资助她的工作，并通过她的在线节目赚取收入，还出售反对派研究和审查服务。 根据卢默的描述，在过去一年半里，她对乌克兰的看法开始逐渐改变，因为她注意到其他右翼播客在传播阴谋论，并批评特朗普对以色列的支持以及对伊朗的攻击，而这些内容随后被俄罗斯国家媒体宣传机构 RT 以及其他亲俄社交媒体账户推广。她与网上的反战影响者之间的冲突日益增加。 “俄罗斯正在社交媒体上开展一项外国影响力行动，旨在美国政治中制造混乱与分裂，并激进化民众，特别是右翼人士，”卢默说。“有很多保守主义者完全被俄罗斯的宣传激进化并洗脑了。” 6 月，坎德斯·欧文斯 (Candace Owens) 和其他右翼网络名人前往俄罗斯参加年度会议，普京长期以来将该会议宣传为其国家的“达沃斯”版本，即全球经济精英的聚集地。同月，一名与卢默合作的制片人——
她的伙伴安德鲁·摩尔（Andrew Moore）参加了在乌克兰敖德萨举行的一次安全会议，并告诉她当地人很欣赏她对俄罗斯的谴责。卢默表示，这让她想亲自前往。由于担心一段针对她的伊朗宣传视频，以及她的照片出现在 7 月最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊（Ali Khamenei）葬礼上展示的靶心风格海报中，她秘密策划了这次旅行。她上个月的抵达引起了如此大的轰动，以至于泽连斯基同意进行了一次时长超过 40 分钟的采访。在对话中，她敦促这位乌克兰领导人改进对美国人的沟通方式，特别是在俄罗斯一直宣传的新纳粹主义相关问题上。
“我只是认为你们需要做得更好，也许应该向国际社会强调，在这里持有纳粹物品是非法的，持有纳粹物品会坐牢，成为反犹主义者是非法的，”身为犹太人的卢默说道。她在与泽连斯基下属的会议中也表达了同样的观点，并与泽连斯基政府的一位副主管在一块白板前合影，她在白板上写道：“我希望你们能改进快速反应能力，以及与美国人和唐纳德·特朗普总统沟通你们多么感谢美国人的能力……爱你们的，劳拉·卢默。”此外，她离开通常在俄罗斯空袭前会有预警的设防首都基辅，前往哈尔科夫，这是一个靠近俄罗斯边境且危险得多的城市。在那里，她采访了安德烈·比列茨基（Andriy Biletsky），他是亚速（Azov）的创始人——这是一个后来被并入乌克兰正规军的志愿战斗小组，该组织与白人至上主义者的历史联系长期以来为俄罗斯关于其乌克兰对手是新纳粹的论调提供了素材。比列茨基曾是一名极右翼民族主义政治家，现为乌克兰军队准将，他向卢默否认自己是新纳粹分子。她表示，她意识到自己在冒险，不仅是身体安全，还有她的名誉。卢默发现自己成为了 RT 电视台攻击的目标，她与反战播客主持人的争论也随之升级。她回到美国后主张，使美国再次伟大 (MAGA) 的孤立主义者误解了特朗普的信息，并损害了美国利益。“我们从俄罗斯那里得不到任何好处，但能从乌克兰那里获得很多好处，”她说，并重复了泽连斯基的观点，即乌克兰可以通过分享其对抗俄罗斯所使用的伊朗制无人机的技术和专业知识来帮助美国。“在这场战争中，支持乌克兰而非俄罗斯才是真正的‘美国优先’。”
接 A1 页关于伊朗的报道
自 2 月 28 日战争爆发以来，双方在各自空袭造成的损失、在反反复复的非正式谈判中达成的共识，甚至在谈判是否正在进行的问题上，给出截然不同的说法，这已非首次。官员们最初表示这场冲突仅将持续几周，但如今已进入第六个月，这拉低了特朗普的民调数据。越来越多的共和党议员和选民对这场战争的合理性以及特朗普的战略提出了质疑。尽管特朗普在进入战争时表示，他的目标是摧毁德黑兰的核计划——他此前称在去年夏天美国和以色列进行了 12 天的轰炸后已实现了这一目标——但冲突开始几天后，伊朗关闭霍尔木兹海峡迅速成为了政府关注的焦点。这条狭窄的水道
是一个关键咽喉，位于波斯湾，由伊朗和阿曼接壤，全球至少 20% 的能源供应经过此处运输。伊朗拒绝让未经许可的船只通过，表示将征收通行费，并开始在海峡布雷并向商业船只开火。4 月，美国实施海军封锁，禁止所有船只进入或离开伊朗港口。伊朗继续威胁国际航运，而华盛顿则通过轰炸该水道周围的伊朗防御阵地以及一些更深入内陆的基础设施来做出回应，导致德黑兰向拥有美国军事设施的波斯湾邻国发射导弹和无人机。随着美国加油站的汽油价格飙升，双方于 4 月中旬在伊斯兰堡同意进行直接谈判，美国代表团由副总统 JD 万斯率领。在未能达成协议后，经过随后的低级别谈判，双方在 6 月中旬签署了一份包含 14 项内容的谅解备忘录，其中包括

EVELYN HOCKSTEIN / REUTERS 唐纳德·特朗普总统周一在椭圆形办公室回答记者的提问。他表示，伊朗以及该地区其他国家曾“恳求”进行谈判。但伊朗外交部发言人表示，该国目前并未与美国进行谈判。
美国撤销封锁、 放宽对伊朗的制裁， 以及伊朗和阿曼共同 研究管理海峡的方法， 而华盛顿和德黑兰则转向核 谈判。 停火协议在几周内崩溃， 很大程度上是因为伊朗 坚持继续控制该海峡。美国 重新实施封锁和制裁， 双方恢复了零星的 军事袭击。 近日，地区阿拉伯 强国——包括沙特阿拉伯、 阿拉伯联合酋长国 和卡塔尔——一直与 特朗普保持联系，试图促进 这场冲突的结束，因为 冲突正在损害他们的经济。 伊朗也一直在接触 许多同样的领导人。 美国情报机构 评估认为，伊朗 不太可能改变其谈判 立场，短期内也不会 被击败。 据德黑兰方面称， 自四月以来 一直没有与美国进行直接谈判， 尽管双方都承认 通过地区调解人传递了信息。 上周，阿曼向德黑兰 发送了一份重新开放 霍尔姆兹海峡的提案，该提案 将使海运流量在沿其相反 海岸线的航线上 50-50 分成。 马斯喀特还建议建立一套由 非营利组织、相关国家和公司 “自愿”捐款的系统， 以支付海峡的航行辅助、 维护和环境安全保障费用。 这与新加坡、马来西亚和印 尼所采用的流程类似， 这些国家毗邻马六甲海峡， 那是太平洋和印度洋之间 的国际贸易咽喉。拟议的 系统可能为伊朗提供一个 体面的方式，使其放弃 其要求的收费和控制权， 而特朗普和其他世界领导人 曾表示绝不能允许这种情况发生。 在周一于德黑兰举行的一场新闻发布会上， 外交部发言人伊斯梅尔·巴加伊表示， 伊朗仅与阿曼就确保 商船安全通过而进行谈判
海峡，且与美国之间没有谈判。 “海峡并没有因为伊朗和阿曼之间的分歧而关闭，”巴盖伊（Baghaei）表示。“自去年三月以来，由于美国和以色列这个犹太复国主义政权的军事侵略，这里一直面临干扰。”
在周一早上的 Truth Social 帖子中，特朗普对伊朗与阿曼的谈判不屑一顾。 在谈到伊朗时，他说：“他们请求会面，有人会说是‘乞求’，谈判已经开始，近期还计划了更多会面，而他们却公开且自豪地宣称，他们没有进行任何讨论，没有任何在谈的内容，他们只与‘阿曼’打交道。”
“随后他们又开始像往常一样胡言乱语，说他们将强力掌控霍尔木兹海峡，”特朗普说。但美国通过海军封锁筑起了一道“钢铁之墙”，且“没有任何东西能进入伊朗，除非我们允许，而且在达成协议或完全投降之前，任何东西都无法通过”。

有人认为较小型电梯可能会引发住房繁荣

旧金山 —— 在经历了五次膝盖手术和一次治疗癫痫发作导致损伤的背部手术后，帕特里斯·布拉彻 (Patrice Bratcher) 在寻找新公寓时深知，电梯是不可妥协的条件。但要找到一个无障碍的租赁公寓并不容易。“我一直在网上搜，搜，搜，快疯了，”布拉彻说。“我的笔记本电脑简直在说：如果这女孩还不放过我！”布拉彻最终在旧金山的一栋专门为残疾人设计的建筑中找到了家。这里由一家名为 Kelsey 的非营利组织运营，该组织是一项旨在将电梯引入更多住宅建筑的全国性运动的一部分。该组织的领导者表示，实现这一目标的方法之一是推广更小且更便宜的电梯。这个想法在几个州正逐渐流行，但遭到了美国电梯行业以及部分安全专业人士和残疾人本人的反对，包括布拉彻。
美国的电梯价格如此之高，以至于小型公寓楼很少安装。部分原因是，美国标准电梯的设计尺寸足够大，以便在紧急情况下容纳担架，并允许轮椅掉头。而许多较便宜的欧洲和亚洲电梯则并非如此。“这种情况无法维持，”倡导者斯蒂芬·史密斯 (Stephen Smith) 表示。“美国与其他国家在建筑成本上存在许多差异，但我不确定是否还有其他地方的差异像电梯这么大。”在两年前的一份详尽报告中，史密斯记录了美国电梯的成本至少比西欧和东亚的住宅电梯高出三倍，很大程度上是因为美国电梯的尺寸约为后者的两倍。由于成本高昂，它们的安装频率较低。他指出，西班牙的人口仅为美国的七分之一，但电梯数量却更多。
在史密斯工作的启发下，缅因州在今年取消了一些电梯安全要求，纽约市正在测试允许现有的步行楼安装不符合标准尺寸要求的电梯。华盛顿州今年通过了一项法律，允许最高六层且拥有 24 个单元的建筑使用较小型的电梯。类似的提案在过去两年中于康涅狄格州、印第安纳州和弗吉尼亚州未能通过。消防部门和电梯公司反对许多拟议的变更——因为这些变更可能会允许欧洲和亚洲公司在美国市场销售其产品。
“我认为美国不存在这个问题，”国家电梯工业公司 (National Elevator Industry Inc.) 执行董事艾米·布兰肯比勒 (Amy Blankenbiller) 说道。“目前存在一种在州层面进行改变的尝试，我们认为这是有风险的。我们认为这会产生意想不到的后果。……可能的结果是，这将与美国标准建筑规范中的许多其他元素（如管道和电力规则）产生冲突，因为这些规则同样不符合欧洲标准。”布兰肯比勒表示，美国公司愿意销售较小型的电梯，但她的团体反对大多数拟议的州法律。“我们并不是试图在概念或想法上单方面反对这一点。我们只是希望以一种不同的方式来处理，并且
乘务员与 WestJet 达成协议
加拿大第二大航空公司 WestJet 已与乘务员达成一项初步协议，以结束一场导致周末数百架航班取消和数千名乘客滞留的罢工。
代表乘务员的工会周一表示，如果该协议获得批准，乘务员在航班起飞前所做的工作将获得认可。
工会 CUPE 8125 表示，随着罢工结束，乘务员现在将返回工作岗位。该初步协议仍需经过批准投票。
WestJet 周日取消了 495 架航班，在漫长假期周末期间扰乱了加拿大的旅行计划。
此次争议的一个关键问题是，乘务员在地面期间执行的任务应如何获得报酬。
工会表示，部分工作没有报酬；而公司则引用通过“信用小时”系统而非小时率支付薪酬的说法，称其员工确实得到了补偿。
加拿大公共雇员联合会代表该航空公司的 4,400 名机组人员。
据 WestJet 称，在达成这项初步协议之前，已有 250,000 名旅客的行程被取消。

患有脑瘫并使用轮椅的 Rachel Tung 在出门时总是会想到电梯。较小的电梯可能会让出行变得更复杂。
“而不是从一个州或一个司法管辖区到另一个州采取碎片化的方法。”
对于一些涉足复杂的电梯监管领域的人来说，令人惊讶的是，管理电梯的法律相对较少。大多数州要求或建议建筑物遵循一套由行业编写的标准，称为《国际建筑规范》（这是一个具有误导性的名称，因为它在美国很流行，但世界其他大部分地区使用不同的规范）。该规范引用了专门针对电梯的独立“技术标准”。
很少有联邦法规管理住宅电梯的外观。《美国残疾人法案》管理酒店和办公楼等公共场所，但不适用于住宅楼中的电梯。
1988 年的《公平住房修正案》要求公寓楼至少有一个可进入的楼层——这可以是地面层，这意味着不需要电梯。法律提到电梯可以符合一项技术标准。但在史密斯和 Kelsey 组织等倡导者的解释中，它实际上并不要求电梯必须符合某项具体标准，也没有强制要求能够容纳担架的尺寸。

特朗普抨击 雪佛龙首席执行官
唐纳德·特朗普总统在周一上午指责雪佛龙首席执行官迈克·沃思（Mike Wirth）忘恩负义，并要求该高管降低油价，因为选民对高油价的挫败感正在增加。
这封社交媒体信息是在该公司周五公布了多年来最高的季度利润之一之后发出的。在信中，特朗普攻击雪佛龙没有给政府足够的功劳，而他认为这家石油巨头的财务成功应归功于政府。这些利润是以驾驶员的牺牲为代价的，而普通汽油的平均价格已超过每加仑 $4。
由伊朗战争引发的全球石油短缺推高了这些价格以及石油公司的利润。随着中期选举临近，对于关注负担能力的选民来说，高油价是一个主要因素。民主党将责任归咎于特朗普，指出这场战争在推高燃料成本方面起到了作用，而总统一直誓言油价将会下降。特朗普则反过来将矛头指向那些他此前一直密切结盟的石油公司。
在福克斯新闻（Fox News）对沃思进行采访后，特朗普在社交媒体上发布道：“他唯一忘记提到的是，如果没有特朗普政府的天才、远见、力量和稳定性，石油工业和我们国家本身都会死！……立刻降低消费（零售！）油价！” — 埃文·哈尔珀 (Evan Halper)

倡导主任希望联邦政府明确，较小的电梯确实已经被允许使用。
“我亲身了解我们瘫痪的电梯系统的现状，”使用轮椅的坎宁顿（Cannington）说。“我们的愿景是在 10 年内降低电梯的成本。”
倡导者表示，增加电梯不仅能帮助残疾人，还可能刺激更多住房的建设。
许多城市和州已经更改了其分区法典，允许在以前仅限单户住宅的地块上建造小型公寓楼。但单户住宅对于开发商来说通常仍然是最有利可图的选择。
如果电梯更便宜，开发商或许能使财务账目相符。更多客户可能会对高层公寓感兴趣。较低的建设成本和更高的单元需求可能会导致更多小型公寓楼的出现，这类建筑在欧洲很常见，但在美国较为少见。
“在美国，小型多户住宅建筑根本没有被建造出来，”史密斯（Smith）说。“如果你在美国有一个分区为三层的开发地块，你不会建造一座带电梯的建筑。你可能根本不会建造多户住宅。”
俄勒冈州 Sightline 研究所的倡导者迈克尔·安德森（Michael Andersen）指出，配备电梯的小型公寓楼可能也会吸引那些在年老时寻找居住地的人。
“我们希望降低在建筑中安装电梯的障碍，”他说。“目前，美国在发达国家中人均电梯数量最少。”
布拉彻（Bratcher）尽管住在凯尔西（Kelsey）的旧金山大楼里，但并不赞同该团体推动的变革。
安全是她最关注的问题。在她之前的公寓楼里，她曾多次发作癫痫，却无法联系任何人寻求帮助。她敦促大楼安装紧急按钮，但没有效果。她很感激现在的浴室里有一个，且她不喜欢在电梯安全方面有任何克扣。
“我们这是一个可能会发生地震、可能会起火的城市，”她说。“如果你必须为安全支付额外费用，那是为了安全。没问题。不要贪便宜，否则下次你知道时，出事了。”

波音 737 MAX-7 获得 FAA 认证
经过近十年的审查，联邦航空管理局（FAA）在周一批准了波音 737 MAX-7 客机的认证，允许该机型家族中最小的型号进入生产并最终投入客运服务。
西南航空公司（Southwest Airlines）一直等待接收 262 架该款飞机，一名发言人表示，公司“期待该飞机在未来几个月内投入使用”。
vators 最近在她大楼的社区活动室被提起时，整个桌子的人都发出了呻吟声和重叠的反对意见。
瑞秋·通（Rachel Tung）当时就在场。通患有脑瘫，使用轮椅，且在许多体力活动上需要帮助。凯尔西大楼（Kelsey’s building）的无障碍设施让她在 30 多岁时终于能够高兴地搬进自己的公寓，离开母亲的家。
尽管如此，每当她外出时，总是在考虑电梯的问题。她的私人助理米歇尔·科克伦（Michelle Cochran）说，最近她和瑞秋在两家不同的购物中心使用电梯时都遇到了麻烦。
另一次，瑞秋和她的母亲琳达（Linda）被邀请到一个朋友的公寓。当琳达看到电梯的大小后，她在想自己是否必须单独将瑞秋推入其中，俯身帮她按下按钮，然后跑上楼顶与瑞秋汇合，并将她向后拉出电梯。她设法与瑞秋的轮椅一起挤了进去。“那简直像在做杂技。”
科克伦说，对于那些需要空间完成全转才能按下按钮的人来说，较小的电梯是行不通的。（一种提出的解决方案是：将按钮放在侧面。）
“那样电梯就失去了意义，因为真正需要它的人无法使用它，”科克伦说。
安德森（Andersen）表示，电梯改革倡导者的目标并不是要减小瑞秋已经在使用的电梯尺寸。而是要在那些原本完全没有电梯的地方创建更多电梯。
“我们不想要更糟糕的电梯，”他说。“我们讨论的只是在那些……没有安装电梯的小型建筑中安装小型电梯，并试图让这些建筑拥有电梯。”
在授予批准之前，FAA 表示，它要求波音公司对该客机进行关键改进，包括更新飞行控制软件和飞行机组警报系统，以及重新设计发动机防冰系统。
“此次批准反映了多年来在解决复杂技术问题以及完成对飞机设计和支持性安全分析的彻底审查方面所做的持续努力，”FAA 在一份声明中表示。
在 2018 和 2019 年发生两起导致 346 人死亡的 737 Max 客机坠机事故后，该认证被推迟。
FAA 表示，其安全检查员将继续留在波音生产设施现场，以监督 737 MAX-7 客机的制造。 —— 利亚姆·斯科特 (Liam Scott)

纽约——随着油价下跌帮助平息了华尔街对通货膨胀可能进一步恶化的担忧，美国股市周一反弹至历史最高点边缘。
标准普尔 500 指数上涨 1.5 percent，目前距离其今年夏天早些时候创下的纪录仅差 0.1 percent。此前，该指数在动荡的 7 月经历了剧烈波动，当时由于与伊朗的战争导致油价飙升，使得指数上下震荡，最终在月底基本回到了起始点。
衡量美国股市较窄范围的道琼斯工业平均指数上涨 693 点，即 1.3 percent，创下历史新高。
而纳斯达克综合指数则跳升 2.1 percent。
由于布伦特原油每桶价格下跌 4.7 percent 至 $83.77，股市获得了提振。在唐纳德·特朗普总统周末表示，在地区盟友的敦促下，他决定推迟对伊朗的新一轮袭击后，油价出现下跌。
上个月，由于人们对与伊朗的战争何时才会允许油轮再次自由离开波斯湾向全球客户运送原油的担忧起伏不定，布伦特原油的价格在 $72 和 $102 之间剧烈波动。
特朗普最新的妥协有助于缓解对全球原油流量的担忧，相应的，债券市场的国债收益率有所下降。
10 年期国债收益率从周五晚间的 4.75 percent 下降至 4.68 percent。不过，该水平仍远高于与伊朗战争之前的 3.97 percent 水平。
收益率上升威胁到股票和其他投资的价格，同时由于增加了美国家庭和企业的借贷成本，从而减缓了经济增长。美国平均长期抵押贷款利率已经跃升至一年来的最高水平。
周一油价的缓和帮助航空公司及其他燃料账单高昂的公司领涨市场。联合航空上涨 5.8 percent，而美国航空上涨 5 percent。挪威邮轮控股公司上涨 6.6 percent。
波音公司在美国监管机构认证其 737 MAX-7 飞机并允许其投入商业服务后，股价跳升 8 percent。
泰森食品在报告春季利润略高于分析师预期后上涨 2.8 percent。首席执行官唐尼·金（Donnie King）表示，公司的鸡肉业务及其包含 Jimmy Dean 和 Hillshire Farm 等品牌的预制食品业务继续保持强劲。
该公司加入到一个日益增长的名单中，即春季利润高于分析师预期的美国大型公司名单。
这对华尔街至关重要，因为从长期来看，股票价格往往跟随企业收益的走势，而人们此前日益担心美国股价可能已经普遍过高。
根据 FactSet 的数据，标准普尔 500 指数中的公司预计春季每股收益将比一年前高出 47 percent，该指数中已有半数以上的公司公布了报告。
周一的一份报告也为利润带来了鼓舞，该报告显示美国制造业的增长加速至 2022 年以来的最强水平。
然而，计算机芯片制造公司的股价波动仍让华尔街感到不安。
由于人们担心人工智能热潮带来的收入激增是否具有可持续性，这些股票数周以来一直剧烈波动。

他并非来自沿海地区，但他属于精英。阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed）出生于罗切斯特山（Rochester Hills）富裕郊区的埃及移民家庭，在 2007. 获得密歇根大学学士学位后，他曾开玩笑说自己可以在名字后面“再加两个字母，顺便说一下，那是 BS（废话 / 胡扯）”。学历证明接踵而至：随后他在牛津大学获得了公共卫生博士学位（DPhil），并在哥伦比亚大学获得了医学博士学位（MD）。之后他回到家乡，负责管理底特律的公共卫生部门（2015-17）；2018 竞选州长但未能成功；成为一名自称的“拥有播客的兄弟”；随后领导韦恩县（Wayne County）的卫生部门（2023-25）。在经历这些短暂的任期后，他产生了一个感悟：“正是我们破碎的政治让人们生病。”因此， 41, 岁的艾尔-赛义德再次投身政坛，竞选密歇根州空缺的美国参议员席位。初选将于周二举行。他并不太喜欢被拿来与纽约的佐兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）做比较，他经常向媒体坚称：“我的竞选活动是为密歇根州量身打造的。”艾尔-赛义德也不称自己为社会主义者。“我读过亚当·斯密，”他在 7 月 26 告诉我，“我是一个理解资本主义如何运作的资本主义者。”这种修辞上的周旋在战略上是有意义的，但并未让他与任何左翼人士之间产生实质性的距离。
人们可以将艾尔-赛义德合理地视为伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）式民粹主义的继承者。这位来自佛蒙特州的参议员已经为这次竞选提供了支持，原因在于这位潜在同志的主张：将金钱剔除出政治，将钱放回民众口袋，并通过全民医保（Medicare-for-all）。艾尔-赛义德的其他优先事项还包括：废除移民海关执法局（ICE，一个“准军事组织”）、向亿万富翁征收财富税（认为他们是“操纵”美国生活方方面面的不懈骗子），以及切断对以色列的资金支持（认为其是一个与哈马斯一样邪恶的、实施种族灭绝的“流氓”国家）。这是进步派的常用措辞，艾尔-赛义德已经赢得了那些常客的支持，包括众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科尔特尼（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez，民主党-纽约州）和众议员罗·康纳（Ro Khanna，民主党-加利福尼亚州）。这类信息的变体近期在可靠的蓝色城市中取得了成效，但在心脏地带尚未经过测试。如果能在唐纳德·特朗普在 2016 和 2024, 获胜的密歇根州取得胜利，将表明激进主义具有真正的持久生命力。
这场参议院选举被框架为一场关于民主党灵魂之争的战斗，一次试金石，因为艾尔-赛义德的竞争对手海莉·斯蒂文斯（Haley Stevens）认为，她的中西部州仍然倾向于温和主义。 43, 岁的斯蒂文斯在 2018, 当选国会议员，在一个民主党强势的选举周期中击败了一名共和党人。自那时起，她一直担任该席位——代表她成长起来的奥克兰县（Oakland County），以及底特律北部和西部郊区的部分地区。她的晋升之路不像艾尔-赛义德那样学术化。在华盛顿的美国大学毕业后，她先后为希拉里·克林顿和随后巴拉克·奥巴马 2008 年的总统竞选活动工作。随后，斯蒂文斯成为了史蒂夫·拉特纳（Steve Rattner）的幕僚长，拉特纳是被指派领导奥巴马政府救助三大汽车制造商的“汽车沙皇”。后一段经历是斯蒂文斯个人品牌的中心。她称自己为“制造业极客”。民粹主义者吗？“当然，”她在上周日早上 7: 30 的浸信会教堂礼拜后说道。“我是一名工业政策专家，”她说，她不反对“在某些方面重新调整我们的经济体制”。这大概是指她对《芯片与科学法案》的投票，这部拜登时代的法律向萨吉诺（Saginaw）附近的一家半导体设施提供了高达 $3.25 亿的联邦援助，并为芯片工厂提供了 25 percent 的投资税收抵免。斯蒂文斯还热衷于指出
指出她去年被评为密歇根州在众议院中最有效的民主党人。在第118届国会通过的她的六项法案中，包括：一项敦促哈马斯释放其在2023年10月7日以色列大屠杀期间劫持的人质的决议，以及一项旨在改进美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）对严重气流颠簸监测的法案。这些内容并非社交媒体上的光辉之作，但斯蒂文斯希望这足以证明她懂得如何在华盛顿运作——或者用她对我描述的话来说，是进行“务实的、挽起袖子的交付工作”。
民主党初选选民在数月内并未买账。直到 7月 5日，态度 lukewarm 的进步派州参议员马洛里·麦克莫罗退出竞选，三方竞争才缩减为两方，斯蒂文斯才具备竞争力。艾尔-赛义德一直占据的民调优势似乎在消失；Glengariff 集团三周前记录显示，斯蒂文斯领先 7 个百分点。她的阵营可能会倾向于将其视为势头。但负责该民调的理查德·丘巴告诉我，调查显示……

走进今天的二年级教室，过去几十年似乎没有什么变化：老师们依然在门口迎接学生。教室内依然铺着彩色地毯，墙上贴着教育海报。
但孩子们正在聆听的绘本并不是由坐在地毯旁的老师读的，而是在交互式白板上播放。书本身甚至不在房间里。相反，它的页面（带有增加的动画）被投射在屏幕上，同时由音频播报文字。随后，孩子们戴着耳机，点击完成个性化的阅读课程。午餐后，他们每个人在 Chromebook 上完成自己的自适应数学活动，而不是聚集在小桌子旁共同解决问题。
这些变化发生得如此缓慢（然后在疫情期间突然加速），以至于许多家长没有意识到小学的许多方面已经变得如此不同。而且这一切在几乎没有公开讨论的情况下就发生了。如今，近 80 l百分比的学区为幼儿园、一年级和二年级的学生配备设备，或允许他们从家中携带设备。
密歇根州备受关注的民主党参议院初选的结案陈词
BILL PUGLIANO / GETTY IMAGES 上图：众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔、参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦、阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德和参议员克里斯·范霍伦 7月25日在密歇根州费恩代尔的一次竞选集会上。下图：众议员詹姆斯·E·克莱本、众议员海莉·斯蒂文斯和州长格雷琴·惠特默 7月24日在底特律。
上周初的情况“坦率地说是不相关的”。这场竞争“极其不稳定”。（艾默生学院周四发布的一项民调显示，艾尔-赛义德领先 15 个百分点。） 斯蒂文斯的获胜路径在于密歇根州东南部，并很大程度上依赖于黑人选民，他们将占据选民人数的约 20%。丘巴发现，她获得了 67% 的支持，而艾尔-赛义德仅获得 21%。这就是为什么斯蒂文斯在上周五晚上出现在卡车司机工会大厅，与南卡罗来纳州众议员詹姆斯·E·克莱本一起集会并回忆起 2009 年。 “希望！巴拉克·奥巴马！挽救了 20 万个工作岗位，”她在竞选演讲中用她那古怪且或许略显做作的密歇根州口音惊呼道。“当时人们在说，‘谁来关闭底特律的灯火？’我们挺身而出了！” 民主党州代表乔·泰特解释了这种吸引力：“这个房间里的很多人，”他示意向 100 多名主要是黑人的观众，“记得那场金融危机，记得汽车公司快要破产的时候。”他补充道，第 44 任总统是“所有工作的主线——不仅是海莉在他政府任期内所做的工作，还包括作为立法者的工作”，“我们只是在将这些点连接起来”。密歇根州民主党黑人党团主席基思·威廉姆斯告诉我，他对斯蒂文斯感到满意，觉得“有保障”，并认为她很务实。“将金钱剔除出政治？现实一点吧，”他评价艾尔-赛义德的口号时说道。“医疗保健？我们有了奥巴马医保。让我们修复它，并在其基础上建设。”
斯蒂文斯在气质上与该州近期的历史是一致的。正如一名密歇根州居民向记者杰森·曾格勒描述过去三任参议员那样：“卡尔·莱文看起来像个二手家具销售员，黛比·斯塔贝诺像是每个人的勤劳婶婶，而盖瑞·彼得斯则像会计一样枯燥。”他们很受欢迎——共和党上一次在密歇根州赢得美国参议院选举是在 1994 年——且不张扬。莱文于 2021 年去世，但斯塔贝诺和彼得斯都支持斯蒂文斯。格雷琴·惠特默也支持她：这位两任州长在 2018 年以 22 个百分点的优势击败了艾尔-赛义德。“你必须将解决方案放在首位，将政治放在最后，而且你必须把事情办成，”惠特默在工会大厅对人群说。 请记住，这是在为妥协背书，而妥协在党内非温和派看来是一种罪过。然而，州长演讲的一个核心重点是可选举性。“如果我们不能保住这个席位，”她解释道，“我们就无法反击削减医疗救助（Medicaid）的行为”，“关税”，“飞涨的汽油和食品价格”，“混乱和分裂”。她相信，且民调显示，

屏幕不再是偶尔使用的课堂工具。它们组织着学校的一整天。这不仅仅是一个关于技术的故事。这是一个关于当儿童学习的媒介本身重塑学习过程时会发生什么的故事。 小学教给学生的不仅仅是阅读和数学。孩子们学习如何在分享自己的想法之前等待他人的想法表达完毕，学习如何协商分歧并解释自己的思考过程。这是成长的一个核心方面，而不仅仅是在教室里的一种美好副产品。当学习中的关系维度被移除时，那些允许……的条件就……
斯蒂文斯更有机会击败共和党候选人、前众议员迈克·罗杰斯，后者在 2024. 年的选举中仅以 19,000 票之差落败。这基本上就是 Unite Here Local 24 支持斯蒂文斯的逻辑所在。其主席特雷尔·乔治告诉我，这位国会议员在赌场和酒店罢工期间是如何支持他的同事——该地区 9,000 名酒店业从业者的。“坦白说，我们两个候选人都喜欢，”他说，“但战略因素是：我们必须保住这个席位，而在全州范围的竞选中，我们相信海莉是能做到这一点的人。” 这并非一个意识形态的选择。我记得在 2020, 年，该分会曾在总统初选中支持乔·拜登而非伯尼·桑德斯，且乔治的前任曾公开谴责“全民医保”计划。现在，乔治表示他“完全支持”，并称如果阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德在 8 月 4 日获胜，他的组织将“1,000 百分之百地参与敲门拉票”。
“我相信他的议程正是这个国家所需的方向。”艾尔-赛义德无法在黑人选票中获得绝对优势，但桑德斯在 2016. 年初选战胜克林顿时也并非如此。当时他在郊县和年轻人中占据主导地位，同时削弱了这位国务卿在底特律的强势阵地。这正是艾尔-赛义德试图复制的模式，而上周六在费恩代尔音乐厅的情况表明，这是一个不错的赌注。现场两百多名主要为白人青年的参与者清楚地知道自己为何而来。他们情绪激动且大声喧哗，是那种拍桌子而非轻弹手指的群众。每位嘉宾——来自华盛顿的众议员普拉米拉·贾雅帕尔、马萨诸塞州的参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和马里兰州的参议员克里斯·范·霍伦——都重复着该竞选活动的招牌口号：“把钱从……政治中剔除！”“把钱放进……你们的口袋！”“全民……医保！”虽然有些过火，但达到了预期效果：每个人都知道
艾尔-赛义德竞选的主张是什么。这次竞选令人印象深刻且组织良好，约有 12,000 名志愿者，敲门拜访次数超过 150,000 次。那天下午我交谈的十几个支持者基本上都认同同一个愿景。梅雷迪斯是一名 40 多岁的调酒师，目前正在密歇根州立大学完成社会科学、法律与正义学位，她没有医疗保险。她最关注的问题是实现全国范围内的全民覆盖。她是否担心这是一个白日梦？“我们被这样告知过多少次了？”她说，“民主党无论如何都会拿回整个参议院；他们有足够的时间”来实施较少的
这些成长技能也被剥离了。 发展心理学家花费了数十年时间证明，儿童思维的成熟是通过与他人的互动而实现的，而不仅仅是通过接触信息。然而，在今天的许多教室中，儿童通过旨在最大限度提高效率的个性化软件进行独立学习，且该软件生成的个体数据会与教师共享。 小学课堂中的这些技术变革看起来像是进步。教室变得更安静了。自适应软件承诺提供恰好处于正确水平的个性化教学。对许多人来说，这些是真正的益处。但每一个决定都涉及权衡。 当故事通过视频呈现而不是由教师大声朗读时，故事讲述本身发生了一些变化。当数学变成一系列个人的点击而非集体解决问题时，孩子们失去了倾听不同思维方式的机会。 即便某些技术在某些条件下改善了部分学习结果，这是否是美国青少年需要的教育类型？我们想要的是由持续的数字化参与所组织的课堂吗？还是我们想要那种孩子们在一天中花费大量时间进行互动和创作的学校？

诸如限制药品价格这类雄心勃勃的想法。埃里克是一位 30 多岁的供应链经理，他告诉我，他知道国会里没有足够的票数来实现他的愿望，但他并不在意。“我喜欢艾尔-赛义德的观点，他说：‘除非我们开始讨论，否则我们无法做出改变。’”然而，细听之下，所提供的改变往往是似是而非的，有时甚至是阴险的。一个典型的例子是一段视频广告，其中艾尔-赛义德被塑造成了索尔·古德曼（Saul Goodman）——那个在《绝命毒师》中出名的腐败刑事辩护律师——他在感叹高昂成本的同时，声称“你的政府正在海外浪费你的税金”。就像那个电视上的律师一样，这位候选人的吸引力依赖于欺骗。而与古德曼不同的是，艾尔-赛义德根本无法兑现他的承诺。例如，“强迫最高法院重新考虑”其关于竞选资金的“公民联合”案（Citizens United）决定，就是一个听起来很聪明但实际上是幻想的说法。
不过，艾尔-赛义德确实很擅长说出能引起掌声的辞令。上个月在谈到斯蒂文斯时，他说：“在某个时间点，当你为了这么多公司和特殊利益集团而背叛原则时，我想你已经忘记了如何独立思考。”在音乐厅的竞选集会上，他说：“当 AIPAC”——美国以色列公共事务委员会——“在这场竞选中投入 300 亿美元 million 时，你知道这意味着什么吗？这是为了‘种族灭绝’、‘种族隔离’以及‘兼并南黎巴嫩的目标’而支付的一笔 300 亿美元 billion 的预付款”，旨在通过投票实现。这就是他惯用的剧本：将幕后操纵的邪恶势力妖魔化。在他看来，美国对以色列的援助（不足 1 percent 的十分之一的联邦预算）正是阻碍资金投资于密歇根州教育的原因。电费高是因为公共服务委员会（由民主党州长任命并负责批准费率上涨）被企业收买了。在医疗保健、气候等任何其他问题上也是如此。这种煽动性的零售式政治有很多买账的人。吉姆是一位 58 岁的前福特雇员，他重复了我经常听到的观点：“政治中的金钱与企业有着不可解释的联系，而在许多情况下，这又与以色列有着不可解释的联系。”该州约 300,000 名阿拉伯裔美国人无疑对此表示赞同，在 2024 年民主党总统初选中，13% 的选民投了“未决定”票，很大程度上是为了抗议拜登政府在以色列问题上的立场。艾尔-赛义德在最终支持卡玛拉·哈里斯之前加入了这一运动，而他持续对以色列表达的轻蔑，显然为他赢得了那些他担心会引起反感的选民。一个典型的例子是：他是否会继续与密歇根大学董事会候选人阿米尔·马克莱德（Amir Makled）交往，后者并不否认真主党恐怖组织？在短暂的停顿后，他回答道：“我更专注于赢得我的这场竞选……而且显然，当我成为被提名人时，我将与民主党候选人名单共同竞选。”
是的，换句话说，就是这样。他补充道，“如果我们想根据 6,000 英里外发生的事情来决定我们的地方议题，我已经明确表示，我相信所有人都享有和平、尊严和自决的权利。”
那是在回避问题，而对于 56 岁的 l-Fawn Chayet 来说，这是一种侮辱。当 Ayman Mohamad Ghazali（一名近期在黎巴嫩的一次以色列空袭中死亡的据称是真主党恐怖分子的兄弟）在三月份驾驶一辆装满炸药的皮卡车冲进西布卢姆菲尔德的以色列圣殿时，这并不是“发生在 6,000 英里之外的事情”。他在与保安人员交火后自杀，附近正在上课的 140 名学前儿童没有一人受伤。Chayet 的儿子 Matthew 当天就在犹太会堂，虽然没有受伤但受到了心理创伤。这次与恐怖主义的近距离接触——以及随后 阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德 评论称“受伤的人会伤害他人”——影响了她的投票选择。她是一名支持 海莉·斯蒂文斯 的中左翼民主党人，但如果有必要，她随后也会为 迈克·罗杰斯 投票。
这位国会议员意识到了这类选民的存在，这也是她认为自己在 11 月有更好机会的部分原因。然而，与她相处一段时间后，人们更难理解她究竟主张什么。“‘我是唯一能击败 迈克·罗杰斯 的人。’你知道，这对黑人群体意味着什么吗？”底特律市监察员、59 岁的 Sherry Gay-Dagnogo 问道。谈论制造业固然好，“但这对我们有什么帮助？我们能获得更好的工作机会吗？会有更好的交通便利吗？”相关细节或许存在，但很难听到。斯蒂文斯较不倾向于公开接触，她更喜欢在小规模群体中停留，而不是统领庞大的人群。这或许有其优点，且在上周日，这让她来到了普利茅斯基督联合教会，那里大约有 75 名信徒在礼拜。唯一的障碍是：该牧师已经支持了 阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德。
在人工智能驱动的未来中，最关键的技能可能是计算机无法培养的那些：注意力时长、好奇心、判断力、同理心和协作能力。特别是当学校将持续的刺激置于智力耐力之上时，注意力时长会减弱。随着技术变得更加强大，纯粹的人类能力会变得更有价值，而不是降低价值。挪威在 2016 年曾给所有学生配备 iPad，但在阅读分数下降后，该国已开始扭转方向。美国的一些学区和州也在采取同样做法。成年人意识到，在低年级不给孩子提供电子设备的学校，能给他们提供在其他地方无法获得的体验。
孩子们不需要通过学校变得更像数字世界。在校时间之外的大部分时间里，他们已经沉浸在那个世界中了。他们需要一个为其他目标而设计的场所，例如对话而非消费，协作而非个性化。这并不是在抵制未来；而是在让孩子们准备好在未来中成为完整的人。

托德·布兰奇 撤回“武器化”计划
唐纳德·特朗普总统的“武器化基金”已被解除。代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在周一正式撤回了他 5 月份发布的一份备忘录。该备忘录原计划设立一项 $1.8 亿美元的资金池，用于在没有司法或立法监督的情况下向特朗普的支持者支付款项。
这是一个良好的结果。该基金是作为总统与他所领导的政府之间，就其首任政府期间税单泄露事件达成的一项“和解”协议的一部分而宣布的。特朗普确实在泄露事件中受到了不公正对待，但为政治盟友创建秘密资金池并非合适的补救措施。
布兰奇在试图说服特朗普提名他接替帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi）时，签署了这项可疑的安排。共和党议员对此表示强烈反对，促使布兰奇放弃了这一想法。但共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（北卡罗来纳州）和约翰·科宁（德克萨斯州）并非没有理由地对仅凭口头保证该基金已失效感到不满。
此次正式撤回是布兰奇争取他们投票计划的一部分，且看来已经取得了成功。两名参议员现在都表示，他们将在周二投票允许他通过委员会审查。这次“武器化”事件表明，制衡机制仍然发挥作用。
上周，至少有七个州报告了针对当地水系统的网络攻击，导致联邦官员紧急向公用事业公司发出威胁警告。这次事件是一个令人恐惧的提醒，表明加强关键基础设施防御的紧迫性。
联邦调查局报告称，黑客更改了多个系统的密码和网络设置，导致水务运营人员无法控制自己的设备，并在部分设施中导致压力损失和洪水，这可能导致未经处理的水进入分配管道。
网络安全和基础设施安全局报告称，一些公用事业公司发出了煮沸水通知，并被迫手动操作其系统。
联邦官员尚未说明攻击发生的地点或幕后操纵者，尽管这些攻击具有伊朗行动的所有特征。明尼苏达州和密歇根州均公开报告其部分公用事业公司遭到攻击，且 CISA 最近警告称，伊朗一直将目标锁定在用于操作公用事业的联网技术上。
这些入侵事件引发了一些毫无益处的政治攻击。唐纳德·特朗普总统否认了伊朗在攻击背后地主张，将责任归咎于明尼苏达州政府，称其“极其无能”。明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹（民主党）则以此为切入点，在伊朗战争问题上攻击特朗普。
这在面对一项紧迫的安全威胁时，是一种不必要的干扰。
美国政府刚刚收购了七家半导体初创公司的所有权股份，这是特朗普政府拥抱国家资本主义的最新例子。该政府以《芯片与科学法案》为依据，将向专注于半导体研发的技术公司投资 $874 亿美元。作为回报，政府将获得少数股权。商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克表示，这笔钱将“使美国在半导体行业保持领先地位”。
这不是政府应有的角色。在高效分配投资资本方面，自由市场永远比政治家做得更好。共和党人曾明白联邦政府挑选“赢家和输家”的危险，但特朗普政府吞噬私营公司股份的速度，足以让民主党前任们感到羞愧。
拜登政府使用《芯片法案》向公司投放资金，但并未取得所有权股份——或许是因为该立法并未规定。

余额尚未清零。 与此同时，该基金（从未真正成立）绝非特朗普司法部最严重的滥用政府权力行为。在布兰奇担任副司法部长期间，该部门发起了一系列滥诉和调查。其中最令人震惊的，或许是试图以制作批评特朗普使用美国军队的视频为由，起诉国会中的民主党议员。 那是政府协同宪法分支成员所发表的核心政治言论。大陪审团正确地驳回了起诉书，但该部门寻求起诉的决定是一次极其严重的滥用。如果

严重问题：美国拥有约 170,000 个水和废水系统，这些系统日益自动化，且易受攻击。这种分散的基础设施是一项优势，因为没有任何一次单一攻击能击垮国家的整个水务部门。但这也是一个弱点，因为拥有老旧运行和 IT 系统的较小型公用事业公司，往往缺乏足够的资源或技术能力来保护自己。 2024, 政府问责局发布了一份报告，为负责监督水务公用事业的环境保护局提供应对这一挑战的建议。其中包括呼吁制定一项国家网络安全战略，环境保护局则通过在早期完成一项风险评估计划作出了回应。
明确允许购买股权。 法律中的这一缺失并未能阻止卢特尼克的商务部，该部门自 12 月以来已购买了近 40 亿美元 billion 的所有权股份。在最新一轮投资后，联邦政府的总股权组合已膨胀至 30 家公司，而唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 总统第二任期之前为零。 这些持有资产包括关键矿产公司的股权、美国钢铁公司的“黄金股”以及英特尔 10% 的股份，此外还包括 IBM 一个量子计算项目的 10 亿美元 billion 资金，以及其他风险投资。它差一点就包括了对精神航空 (Spirit Airlines) 的所有权。 保护关键供应链是一个合理的目标。超过 90% 的先进芯片在台湾制造，如果中国入侵该岛，供应链将变得脆弱。大约 70% 的稀土矿业由中国公司掌控。 但模仿中国的国有所有制战略从长远来看对美国没有帮助，因为它倾斜了竞争环境。这种做法甚至对中国本身也不奏效，其国有半导体公司——

只有共和党参议员才能在关于无法无天且报复性起诉的问题上，从布兰奇那里获得更多的让步。
但由于行政当局的“法律战”，阻挠布兰奇的提名可能并不会带来太大好处。因为他已经获得参议院确认担任副司法部长，布兰奇仍可以以代理身份留任。
如果唐纳德·特朗普对布兰奇不满意，他也有很大的余地任命其他官员担任代理司法部长。例如，赦免律师埃德·马丁就是特朗普复仇运动中一个极其热衷的十字军。
参议院的确认可能会使布兰奇在白宫以及司法部其他部门拥有更高的地位。这还可能使其决定（无论好坏）更具效力。
“武器化基金”是一个极其恶劣的例子，这是两党在控制行政部门时都玩过的把戏：通过挥霍方式达成诉讼和解，从而将资金导向政治盟友。
参议员们利用布兰奇的确认程序阻止了一次共谋和解。下一步是起草立法，限制该部门在没有实质性独立审查的情况下可发放的资金数额。
去年。但这些努力是自愿的，且联邦政府此前强迫地方系统提高网络安全水平的尝试导致了法律挑战。
希望最近的攻击能震慑公用事业公司，让他们更认真地对待防御工作。即使是微小的改进也能产生很大作用：政府问责局（GAO）发现，许多系统缺乏基本的网络卫生习惯，例如更改默认密码或更新操作系统。联邦政府还可以帮助简化那些阻碍公用事业防御的重叠政府法规。
随着人工智能极大地增强恶意行为者的网络能力，美国人不能承受运营商在岗位上打瞌睡。
公司落后于台积电（TSMC）等自由市场参与者。
商务部声称，股权投资将“提高美国纳税人的回报”。但它没有说的是，如果这些公司崩溃，纳税人将承担损失。
如果政府认定这些公司太重要而不能倒闭，且必须予以支持，这会进一步扭曲市场。如果政府偏袒某些企业，最创新且在经济上最可行的项目可能无法成功。
政府持有私人公司的股份不可避免地会诱使公职人员通过这种方式让其亲信获利。稀土磁体初创公司 Vulcan Elements 在联邦政府持股之前，刚收到唐纳德·特朗普之子的风险投资公司的投资。
几个月后，五角大楼向 Vulcan 提供了 $620 million 的有条件贷款。
特朗普政府还宣布与 USA Rare Earth 达成一项 16 亿美元 billion 的交易，而该公司与由卢特尼克儿子主持的公司有业务往来。
随着政府投资组合的增长，利益冲突也随之增长。

民权执法应由什么驱动？
7月29日的社论《当以电子表格治理时，数字变成了指控》在赞扬教育部关于民权执法的最新指南时切中了要害。民权法存在的目的是保护个人免受蓄意歧视，而不是强迫学校通过统计数据进行治理，或为了满足人为的配额而牺牲课堂安全。但这仅仅是第一步。为了保障平等机会并保护健全的学校治理，教育部长琳达·麦克马洪（Linda McMahon）应确保计划和法规中不再残留差异性影响（disparate-impact）和效果标准。
必须允许学校执行纪律并维护安全的学习环境，而无需时刻担心仅因惩罚中的统计差异而面临联邦处罚。如果不能做到这一点，将损害所有学生的教育，特别是那些如果不这样做，就将被迫坐在混乱喧闹、学习无法开展的教室里的学生。
琳达·查韦兹（Linda Chavez），华盛顿 作者是平等机会中心（Center for Equal Opportunity）主席。
我曾在1971年2月至1973年3月期间担任平等就业机会委员会（EEOC）的国会事务主任。我与国会议员及其工作人员密切合作，协助通过1972年对1964年《民权法》第七章（Title VII）的修正案。
这些修正案规定，委员会可以向联邦法院提起诉讼，要求雇主遵守该法的要求。它们还允许委员会的总法律顾问职位由总统任命。我为我们加强第七章所做的工作感到自豪，现在依然如此。
现在有报道称，EEOC 再次采取措施逃避在第七章下的职责。7月31日的在线新闻文章《一项未成文的联邦政策正在阻碍工人的歧视索赔》称，EEOC “已悄悄告知行政法官不要考虑集体诉讼”。在第二个特朗普政府的前18个月里，有其他迹象表明 EEOC 官员并未充分致力于执行第七章的条款。对于特朗普政府和现任 EEOC 官员来说，不致力于委员会成立之初的授权是令人不齿的。
斯蒂芬·C·布莱克斯利（Stephen C. Blakeslee Jr.），博伊斯
教育部撤销其差异性影响法规是正确的，这些法规迫使学区根据种族做出决定。我曾是教育部民权办公室的一名律师，我同意7月29日社论中的观点，即差异性影响法规“将种族群体之间的统计差异视为触发民权执法的充分证据，即使没有证据表明任何特定的人受到了蓄意虐待。这种方法使得全美的学校变得不那么安全，因为它让管理人员和教师因担心被指控种族歧视，而不敢惩戒某些扰乱秩序且有暴力倾向的学生。”
根据最高法院2001年在“亚历山大诉桑多伐尔案”（Alexander v. Sandoval）中的裁决，这些法规的合法性存疑。在该案中，最高法院指出，第六章（Title VI）法规“允许”差异性影响“法规所禁止”的行为。法院还补充说，声称此类差异性影响法规能促进第六章的目的（该章仅禁止“蓄意歧视”）是奇怪的。

关于 8 月 3 日的在线新闻文章《在正式撤回款项后，布兰奇的司法部长提名重回正轨》：
参议员约翰·科宁（共和党-德克萨斯州）和汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党-北卡罗来纳州）在托德·布兰奇“取消了唐纳德·特朗普总统与美国国税局之间争议性协议的一个关键方面”之前，一直拒绝支持其担任司法部长的提名，这为当今共和党内提供了罕见的伯克式保守主义范例。
政治保守主义的创始人埃德蒙·伯克宣称，一名民选代表对其选民承担的责任是提供“他不偏不倚的观点、成熟的判断以及开明的良知”。他认为，代表绝不能为了“任何人或任何一组在世的人”而牺牲这些特质。科宁和蒂利斯将在 5 个月后离开参议院，这使他们能够行使成熟的判断，而无需担心来自唐纳德·特朗普总统或初选选民的报复。
这一动态凸显了为什么国会任期限制值得认真考虑。任期限制可以让更多立法者像科宁和蒂利斯那样独立地履行职责，而不是为了职业生存而放弃判断。
近 90% 的美国人支持任期限制。国会应当进行改革，使开明的良知成为日常标准，而非一份离任礼。

参议院俄罗斯制裁法案中隐藏了什么
本周，参议院以 86-12 的投票结果通过了 2026 年《林赛·O·格雷厄姆制裁俄罗斯法案》（Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026），该法案以这位共同起草该立法的已故南卡罗来纳州共和党人为名字命名。我是乌克兰的坚定支持者，长期以来一直主张加大对俄罗斯的制裁。但在该法案接近通过之际，我不知该欢呼还是嘲讽。这项立法中有很多好的条款，但也有两条糟糕的。好是否超过坏，或者反之，目前还远不明确。
根据法案发起人的摘要，积极部分将加强美国对“弗拉基米尔·普京、俄罗斯高级政治和军事领导人、寡头、国有企业以及支持俄罗斯国防工业基础的外国公司”的制裁。该法案还“制裁俄罗斯金融机构”，以及“俄罗斯最大的国家能源项目”及其“控股所有者和高管”。任何与走私俄罗斯能源产品以违反西方制裁的“影子船队”有关的人员都将被实施更多制裁。任何与受制裁俄罗斯实体进行贸易的公司都可能被切断 SWIFT 系统，该系统支持大多数国际金融转账。
据《基辅邮报》报道，“这一 SWIFT 条款可能会使许多国家和企业与俄罗斯的贸易变得极其危险，因为被发现违反该条款的贸易商不仅面临失去美国市场的风险，而且面临失去通过 SWIFT 系统在世界任何地方开展业务手段的风险。”
到目前为止，一切都很好。但请记住，唐纳德·特朗普总统已经拥有很大权力来对俄罗斯实施制裁。他只是没有过多使用，因为他对俄罗斯独裁者弗拉基米尔·普京心存好感。他也可以避免实施格雷厄姆法案中所包含的制裁，因为第 115 条授予他只要向国会提供解释，就有权豁免任何制裁。因此，法案中这些严厉的制裁完全有可能被淡化或从未实施。
第 113 条中存在一个更大的问题，它赋予总统权力，可对俄罗斯石油或天然气最大的五个进口国征收高达 100 ％的关税。进口到美国的俄罗斯商品将面临更高的税率——500 ％。6 月份，俄罗斯原油的最大买家是中国、印度、土耳其、欧盟和缅甸。俄罗斯天然气的主要买家是欧盟、中国、日本、韩国和土耳其。（在欧盟内部，俄罗斯化石燃料的最大买家是匈牙利、法国、西班牙、比利时和斯洛伐克。）所有这些国家都可能面临 100 ％的关税。诚然，日本、韩国和欧洲国家可能会获得豁免，因为法案规定，如果某些国家的天然气进口量占俄罗斯总出口量的比例低于 15 ％，且他们也在采取“重大步骤”减少俄罗斯进口，则不对其征收关税。
当唐纳德·特朗普总统在去年签署《一项巨大而美丽的法案》(One Big Beautiful Bill Act) 时，气候领域的许多人士宣布美国的能源转型已经死亡。该法律撤销了 2022 年《削减炎症法案》(Inflation Reduction Act) 中的大部分赠款和贷款，并逐步取消了风能和太阳能税收抵免——与此同时，特朗普政府撤销了对化石燃料的监管。但这些讣告下达得太早了，至少对于电力部门而言如此。是的，政府的政策将导致清洁能源减少且价格上涨。但能源转型从未是法律的产物。它是由技术创新、市场力量、地缘政治竞争和国家安全需求驱动的。方向已经确定，而政策决定速度。我在麻省理工学院 (MIT) 发表的一项新研究证实了这一点：在接下来的十年中，如果按照《削减炎症法案》和电厂监管轨迹原本应增加的清洁电力产能，平均仍有约四分之三将被建成。并且，电力部门两三分之二以上的减排目标仍将实现。
对于气候社区的战略来说，这是一个重要的发现。该社区在重新夺回权力时的本能反应是恢复失去的东西。但这种心态值得审视。我的报告表明，《削减炎症法案》尽管带来了很多成果，但它补贴的是市场本来就会部署的成熟技术。它在可靠的清洁能源方面投资不足，且从未触及限制这两者发展的供应端障碍。此外，产生《削减炎症法案》的背景——对抗气候变化的热情、廉价资金和就业优先政策——已经消失。当今的政治围绕着激增的能源需求、枯竭的财政能力和可负担性展开。立法者将在各项政策优先事项之间面临艰难的权衡。
那么，下一个时代的气候政策目标应该是怎样的？我的分析指出了四个答案。首先，全面的两党许可制度改革是释放清洁能源最重要的一项行动。没有其他任何措施可与之比拟。许可障碍是推高项目成本的“税收”，且往往会导致项目夭折。普林斯顿大学的杰西·詹金斯 (Jesse Jenkins) 多年前就警告称，输电网络建设的缓慢速度将使《削减炎症法案》下超过 80 ％的潜在减排量失效。而此后的速度仅是进一步放缓。可预测的许可流程——明确的截止日期、规模合理的司法审查和集中的分析——将加速清洁能源增长，并提高建设规模的上限。此外，此类改革几乎不需要公共支出。如果本届国会无法达成协议，下一届环保政府将没有任何快速推进的工具。其次，抵制延长风能和太阳能税收抵免的冲动。这些补贴并没有让支付电费的家庭和企业在电价上获得多少实惠，也不是提升部署规模的救星。它们处理的是症状——
凯文·拉马克 (KEVIN LAMARQUE) 唐纳德·特朗普总统 2025 年在安克雷奇与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京会面。
但决定什么才是“重大”的，将取决于政府。
该法案还允许（但并不强制要求）总统对“协助俄罗斯规避石油制裁”的前五个国家征收 100 percent 的关税。目前尚不清楚具体是指哪些国家，但候选名单包括中国、土耳其、阿拉伯联合酋长国、亚美尼亚和哈萨克斯坦。现在特朗普还希望将针对伊朗的关税也加入该法案，尽管美国几乎不从该国进口任何商品。
总之，这项立法赋予了特朗普巨大的权力，如果一系列国家（特别是印度和中国）不切断所有俄罗斯能源进口，他就可以对它们征收巨额关税。由于印度和中国都严重依赖俄罗斯能源，且美国与伊朗的战争减少了波斯湾的石油出口，它们不太可能这样做。特朗普去年试图通过 25 percent 的关税使印度摆脱对俄罗斯能源进口的依赖，但已经失败了。
问题在于，没有什么能阻止特朗普出于其他原因对这些国家中的任何一个征收关税，并将格雷厄姆法案作为法律依据。他甚至可能利用该立法来对付美国在欧洲和亚洲的盟友。特朗普有基于借口征收关税的记录。在最高法院 2 月份废除其“解放日”关税后，特朗普以虚假的“国际收支”担忧为由，对美国贸易伙伴征收了 10 percent 的临时关税。当这些关税在 7 月到期时，特朗普用几乎相同的税项取代了它们，并为其正名。
JIM URQUHART / REUTERS 犹他州埃默里的太阳能电池阵列
toms and leave the disease —— 这是给那些在许可和互联考验中幸存的项目的奖励。
我的分析发现，在 2031, 年，即最后一批符合信贷资格的项目投产后的第一年，太阳能装机容量将仅落后于 IRA 和监管轨迹 2.5 年。信贷延期是一项昂贵的购买，但获得的是一个政治保质期不确定的适度收益。
可再生能源能够承受信贷逐步取消的影响。需求增长而非税法是最强有力的激励因素。凭借电池技术，这些成熟且具有成本竞争力的技术在年度新增容量中占比 93 percent。特朗普政府为这些行业制造了短期阻力，但它无法消除驱动创纪录部署的顺风。
第三，诚实面对脱碳过程中的可靠性要求。电网需要随时可用电力的支持，而天然气是目前唯一能提供该需求的廉价来源。我的报告强调了一个令人不安的事实：即使可再生能源在增长，化石能源机组规模也没有缩小。
因此，目标不应该是封锁天然气，而应该是管理天然气。寻求减少碳排放的措施，如甲烷费和基于强度的标准——这些政策通常受到油气行业的支持。同时，抑制新的离网天然气发电，此类发电通常服务于单一实体（如数据中心）。将此类电力保持在电网连接状态，将迫使其与清洁电力竞争，同时向急需的电网现代化进程注入资金。
第四，全力投入“清洁稳固”技术
通过声称在打击“强迫劳动”。 考虑到总统倾向于凭心血地挑起代价高昂的贸易战，国会最不应该做的就是赋予他更多征收巨额关税的权力。这就像是给纵火狂递火柴。 “国会对关税拥有明确的宪法权力，应当限制总统对该权力的使用及其宪法权限，”外交关系委员会的贸易专家爱德华·奥尔登（Edward Alden）告诉我。“相反，如果这项法案通过，将进一步增强特朗普的关税武器库。这不是一件好事。” 这就是为什么许多参议院民主党人此前不愿支持格雷厄姆法案。大多数人最终转变态度，是因为他们希望向乌克兰传递一个强有力的支持信号。总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基亲自为该立法游说。 我同情通过施压俄罗斯地实现目标的愿望，但我也希望众议院在 9 月审议该立法时，能通过剔除关税并使其他制裁成为强制性措施来强化该法案。众议院还应纳入由众议院金融服务委员会主席弗伦奇·希尔（French Hill，共和党-阿肯色州）支持的立法，该立法将强制财政部将美国控制下的被冻结俄罗斯资产（估计总额为 $19 billion to more than 500 亿美元 billion）转移给乌克兰。 既然可以轻松改进，国会就没有理由通过一项存在严重缺陷的立法。如果关税被移除，不悦的特朗普可能会否决它，但如果两院三分之二的议员支持修订后的法案，它仍将成为法律。
— 地热能、先进核能、碳捕集和核聚变。最终取代天然气的将不是另一个太阳能电站，而是随时可用的清洁能源。这些技术因非气候原因而获得两党支持：它们可靠、价格稳定且受地理限制较少，而且全球都渴望进口这些技术。 但这些技术都处于商业化中期，因此必须成为投资的重中之重。其需求信号已经存在——超大规模云服务商已签署协议支持约 16 吉瓦的核能和地热能 —— 但其保留的税收抵免既不能提供收入确定性，也无法提供规模化所需的资金。能源主导融资办公室（Office of Energy Dominance Financing）提供的低息贷款，以及首创赠款计划，在下一届国会中值得增加资金支持。 这四项建议遵循相同的财政逻辑：停止在成熟的能源技术上花费公共资金，而将其引导至深层脱碳所需的电网和创新上。衡量政策的标准不应是它们承诺的雄心，而应是它们交付的结果。没有任何一项行动是互斥的。问题在于权衡、有效性和持久性。 气候领域应当在共和党三方控制（trifecta）下幸存的内容基础上继续建设，而不是试图复活那些已被否决的方案。现在的任务不是恢复，而是建设。建设电线，建设在场边等待的可再生能源，建设清洁发电厂。其他一切都无关紧要。
下降的 测试分数之下
关于美国公立学校的最新报告带来了惯常的坏消息。由哈佛大学和斯坦福大学研究中心发布的教育成绩单显示，阅读和数学成绩自 2013. 起一直稳步下降。为什么还要提及此事？因为有些重要的事情正在发生变化。在令人失望的测试分数之下，一些足智多谋的教师们正悄然创造一种截然不同的趋势。
我在 30 年前首次注意到这一点，当时我创建了一份新型的顶尖高中名单，主要是为了推广我写的一本书。我将其命名为“挑战指数”(Challenge Index)。我的灵感源于在低收入公立学校看到的情况：尽管许多高中普遍存在简单化倾向，但那里的学生仍在修读大学水平的数学、英语、科学和历史课程，并参加期末考试。该名单为每所学校提供一个比率：每年提供的这类艰巨期末考试的数量（主要由大学理事会的 AP 先修课程项目提供），除以每所学校毕业班的人数。
我第一次这样做时，只有 1 percent 的高中——仅 243 所——提供的考试数量超过了毕业生的数量。但这个数字一直在增长。《新闻周刊》(Newsweek) 杂志以及随后的《邮报》(The Post) 每年发布最新的挑战指数名单，随着时间的推移，提供考试数量超过毕业生人数的学校数量在增加。到 2019, 年，挑战指数涵盖了近 12 percent 的美国高中。
其他事情也发生了变化。在 1998, 年，排名前 20 的学校服务的主要是富裕家庭的孩子，例如马里兰州罗克维尔的理查德·蒙哥马利高中或加利福尼亚州的北好莱坞高中。二十年后，名单顶端的主要低收入学校，其中许多是特许学校，例如由戴夫·莱文 (Dave Levin) 和迈克·费因伯格 (Mike Feinberg) 创立的 KIPP 学校，或由乔安·加马 (JoAnn Gama) 和汤姆·托克尔森 (Tom Torkelson) 创办的 IDEA 学校。
根据大学理事会的数据，这种增长规模巨大，尽管在很大程度上被忽视了。在 2003. 年，仅有 94,000 名低收入家庭的学生参加了 AP 考试。到 2025 年，这一数字几乎增长了九倍——达到 845,000. 名。在 2003, 11.6 percent 的 AP 学生来自低收入家庭。到 2025, 这一比例上升至 27 percent。
我在洛杉矶的加菲尔德高中发现了这一转型的线索，在那里我观察了课堂魔术师海梅·埃斯卡兰特 (Jaime Escalante) 的工作，他在电影《坚持到底》(Stand and Deliver) 中备受赞誉。我注意到，那所学校还有许多其他教师，虽然缺乏埃斯卡兰特的个人魅力，但他们找到了方法，让学生习惯于更长的上课时间和要求更高的课程。在全国范围内，越来越多的教师——
自 2003 年以来增长了八倍。
……帮助学生培养能够在AP测试以及像国际文凭（International Baccalaureate）这类大学水平考试中获得高分的技能。许多学生告诉我，即使他们没能通过AP或IB考试，他们在挑战过程中的艰苦努力依然让他们学到了更多。那些担心给孩子压力过大的教育工作者和家长，花了一段时间才意识到这一点。一些校长告诉我，他们可以将自己的课程设置得与AP一样严格。但事实往往并非如此。教师们发现，很难将期末考试出到与AP同样的难度。大多数学校为参加AP设置了障碍。在加菲尔德（Garfield），九年级和十年级成绩为C的学生被鼓励尝试AP。但在我花费大量时间的纽约州富裕的威斯特彻斯特县（Westchester County），成绩为C的学生被禁止参加大学水平的课程。但我仍然发现有些学生对此反抗。一名成绩平平的威斯特彻斯特学生决定自学AP美国历史。她买了教科书，借用朋友的作业并通过了考试——大学理事会（College Board）很乐意向任何愿意支付报名费的人提供其高难度的测试。加利福尼亚州卡梅尔高中（Carmel High School）的达伦·约翰斯顿（Darren Johnston）告诉我，他和同事们必须努力争取，以消除普通学生报名AP的障碍。但结果很明显：四年后，参加AP的学生人数增加了 50 Percent，学校的考试通过率也随之提高。德克萨斯州研究人员琳达·哈格罗夫（Linda Hargrove）、唐·戈丁（Donn Godin）和芭芭拉·多德（Barbara Dodd）在 2008 年的一项研究中，揭穿了这样一种理论，即AP学生在大学表现更好仅仅是因为他们天生就是更好的学生。研究显示，在英语、微积分、生物和历史科目中，SAT分数较低且在AP考试（五分制）中仅获得2分（低于3分的及格线）的学生，在进入大学学习这些科目时的表现，比SAT分数相似但未参加AP考试的学生更好。当时是华盛顿州伊萨夸高中（Issaquah High School）高年级学生的克洛伊·基尔齐（Chloe Kilzi）告诉我，尽管她在科学和数学方面的成绩不佳，但她觉得自己很幸运，因为学校鼓励她参加AP物理和AP微积分BC。在她之前就读的芝加哥学校，她需要优异的成绩和教师推荐信才能参加，而这正是参与AP的一道常见门槛。她后来在大学学习工程物理。美国学校仍然深受容忍平庸这一倾向的困扰。妥协有时被视为度过一天的唯一方式。但大学高难度课程稳步进入高中的趋势正在改变人们的态度，使得许多地方的美国学校比以前变得更好了。
密歇根州 见 A1 页
百万富翁们扼杀了劳动人民的进步。对于他们的更广泛使命而言，赌注尤为之高：在摇摆州赢得进步派初选——而不仅仅是在像今年纽约或丹佛那样民主党 stronghold 地区获胜——具有加速该运动的潜力。虽然华盛顿特区的国会黑人会议中一些较年轻的进步派成员支持阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德，但黑人政治建制派的力量则支持海莉·斯蒂文斯。代表詹姆斯·E·克莱本（南卡罗来纳州民主党）和国会黑人会议，以及密歇根州的一系列建制派民主党人均为其背书。一个由亲以色列游说团体“美国以色列公共事务委员会”资助的超级政治行动委员会已花费超过 $30 million 来提升斯蒂文斯的知名度——其最无处不在的广告强调了她在经济大衰退期间与前总统巴拉克·奥巴马的关系，当时她领导了一场对该州劳动力至关重要的汽车救援行动。尽管奥巴马尚未公开对这场竞选发表看法，但这些广告给人留下了奥巴马支持斯蒂文斯的印象。这也是劳顿对萨顿推介艾尔-赛义德不感兴趣的原因之一。她说，她认为当前时刻需要的是奥巴马所代表的那种团结，而不是民主党内部的争斗。在萨顿离开去敲其他门的几分钟后，她在门廊上说：“我们没时间搞那些狗屁玩意儿。”“选择正确的候选人已经够难了，但艾尔-赛义德在其中制造的混乱让我极其恼火。”劳顿表示，进步派运动让她反感，并非因为她不同意其政策目标，而是因为时机不对。她说她担心这更有可能导致败给共和党人，而不是为她的社区带来更好的生活。“我不是伯尼·桑德斯的粉丝。我对亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科尔特尼不感兴趣，”她说。“斯蒂文斯一直在这里。至于那个自我就在投票以来一直与之抗争的‘颠覆体制’的信息？不。我觉得海莉的风格没什么问题。”随后，艾尔-赛义德在一次采访中表示，如果劳顿愿意听他倾诉，他可能在 15 分钟内就能赢得她的支持。“如果她认为奥巴马支持海莉，那么她接收到的是那种政治风格的犬儒主义，”他说。“不幸的是，这种方式很有效。因为它告诉人们，任何试图修复体制的人肯定没有计划，而且至少让情况不至于恶化，要比真正尝试做出改变要好。”当劳顿拒绝他时，萨顿面带微笑，在他继续沿着街区走时，他说他知道自己面临的是什么。他说，人们已经习惯了功能失调。“既然这种情况持续了这么久，他们认为以后也会如此。他们失去了希望。这就是我可以尝试努力的方向，”他说。萨顿就读于奥克兰社区学院，巧合的是，劳顿在那里担任就业协调员。他说他希望加入空军国民警卫队。在分别接受的采访中，萨顿和劳顿都表示担心国家的未来和经济的健康状况。萨顿说他是通过教会与艾尔-赛义德的竞选活动建立联系的。他说，他认同这样一个观点：清除政治中的企业资金对于迫使政治家专注于解决方案至关重要。他向一名在人行道上行走的人递上了一个门挂广告。“他不希望企业买断政治家，”他提到艾尔-赛义德时说。在萨顿开始扫街之前的志愿者集会上，庞蒂亚克市议员米卡尔·古德曼（美国民主社会党底特律分会前主席）告诉人群，艾尔-赛义德
了解庞蒂亚克（Pontiac）的黑人群体一直以来如何为尊严和资源而战。艾尔-赛义德表示，他不认为自己是一名民主社会主义者。然而，该运动的成员们接纳他，以及他关于全民医疗保险（Medicare-for-all）和对亿万富翁征税的呼吁。“为了投票给那个男人，我没有任何妥协，这正是让我如此兴奋的地方，”古德曼说道。当他去投票时，“我不会带着呕吐袋。至少在那场竞选中不会。”
BLOOMBERG / GETTY IMAGES 众议员海莉·斯蒂文斯（民主党-密歇根州），右，上月访问底特律的普利茅斯联合基督教会。她的对手是进步派初选竞争者阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德。
ALI LAPETINA / FOR THE WASHINGTON POST 艾尔-赛义德曾任公共卫生官员，并建立了一个广泛的基层联盟。斯蒂文斯则是建制派的选择。
据政治追踪公司 AdImpact 称，初选的支出打破了记录，攀升至 $80 million 以上，其中艾尔-赛义德在电视广告上的支出被对方以 8 to 1 的比例压制。他的支持者表示，这些资金——其中大部分来自超级政治行动委员会（super PACs）用于投放攻击性广告——源于建制派的绝望，他们担心艾尔-赛义德可能会在这一摇摆州引发强大的进步运动，从而激活选民并影响其他选举，就像纽约市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼的获胜那样。
“如果我们能在这里实现这一点，将改变我们整个州，”支持艾尔-赛义德的底特律地区活动人士兼立法候选人克里斯·吉尔默-希尔（Chris Gilmer-Hill）说道。
但一些黑人选民怀疑，艾尔-赛义德“将钱从政治中剔除，将钱放进你的口袋，全民医疗”的口号是否能切实改变他们的生活，或者是否能吸引足够的普选选民让民主党获胜。
针对这种情绪，斯蒂文斯将自己塑造为一名实用主义者。
“我不提供口号或虚假承诺。我提供的是一条获胜之路，”斯蒂文斯在普利茅斯联合教会外说道，那是底特律的一个黑人教会，她在那里唱赞美诗并跳舞。
“我们不能仅仅为了战斗而战斗，”她说。
坐在后排长椅上的企业主杰伊-李·迪灵（Jai-Lee Dearing），53 岁，表示经济和政治状况是“我见过最糟糕的”。
“有一种绝望感。没有出路。我们有一个总统，他更关心他自己和他的
ALI LAPETINA / FOR THE WASHINGTON POST 在密歇根州费恩代尔，艾尔-赛义德竞选集会和拉票启动活动现场外出售的政治周边商品。
家人，而不是我，”迪灵说道，并补充说他对艾尔-赛义德没有异议，但想要一位已经了解华盛顿运作方式的参议员，且他看好斯蒂文斯的成就记录。
“我们只需要一个能够迅速进入状态并开展工作的人，”他说。
75, 岁的乔治亚·约翰逊（Georgia Johnson）在教堂外拦住了海莉，告诉她“每当我们看到你的脸，我就知道希望还在”。约翰逊说她的选择很简单：“我在电视上听到的关于她的评价全是正面的，尤其是来自奥巴马总统。他的认可就是我投票的保证。”
底特律市议员斯科特·本森（Scott Benson）将自己描述为一名“毫不掩饰的中间派、温和民主党人”，他支持斯蒂文斯。他在礼拜结束后拦住了 82, 岁的索里斯·玛丽·沃尔顿（Thoris Marie Walton），询问她选择了谁。
“你觉得我投给了谁？”沃尔顿反问，并表示她选择了斯蒂文斯。“我不需要任何人告诉我。我一直在关注。”
本森表示，进步派想要颠覆、改革或烧毁体制的信息，让许多黑人感到沮丧，因为这些人认为这种批评是“源于特权”。
“大喊大叫和战斗很容易，”他说。“对于我的社区来说，体制从未偏向过我们。而我们找到了在体制内创造机会的方法。”
在当天下午晚些时候的一次艾尔-赛义德活动中，底特律市议员登泽尔·麦坎贝尔（Denzel McCampbell）称这种看法已经过时。
“这个体制已经无法修复，我宁愿处于一个我们的同胞不必日复一日地奋斗的环境中，”麦坎贝尔说。
贝尔说道：“我们厌倦了抗争。我们厌倦了向政府索要那些我们本就期望得到的东西。”
斯蒂文斯推出了一项旨在投资黑人社区的政策计划，并表示她能体会选民的感受，因为她见过人们在超市里因食品价格而崩溃。
“选民完全有理由感到沮丧，”斯蒂文斯说。“那些应该改变的事情，并没有改变。”
在最近一次艾尔-赛义德在费恩代尔举行的集会后，密歇根州联合会 (Michigan United) 的黑人社区组织者埃卢伊丝·塞利夫表示，每当听到斯蒂文斯谈论她在汽车救援工作中的贡献时，她就感到厌烦；该计划挽救了 200,000 个汽车就业岗位，但未能阻止止赎危机。
“我失去了我的房子。我们失去了整个街区，但公司却得到了救助，”塞利夫说。“这就是我们今天在寻找的候选人特质：在公司面前，人性在哪里？”
与塞利夫共事的莱斯利·马修斯插话道：“请告诉我，我是在客气地问：海莉为非裔美国人社区做了什么？”马修斯说。“海莉·斯蒂文斯讨论过政治中的金钱问题吗？她一个字也没提。”
马修斯说，她在 2018, 艾尔-赛义德竞选州长失败期间与他相识，当时他请求她的支持。
“我说，‘绝对不行。我不认识你’，”马修斯说。但他也邀请她和他一起散步，讨论他对经济不稳定以及政治中需要疗愈的看法。（他在 2020 年写了一本名为《疗愈政治》的书，详细阐述了这些主题。）
“如果阿卜杜勒不能当选，密歇根州就输了，”她说，并补充道她绝不会投票给斯蒂文斯，即使对手是共和党人。

洛杉矶 —— 斯通·里德（Storm Reid）知道世人如何看待她：一个才华横溢、举止优雅，且似乎在生活各方面都游刃有余的演员。通过新的音乐，这位艾美奖得主希望听众能发现她的另一面。
里德在周五发行了她的新单曲《Shotty》，她希望人们能接触到一个不那么完美版本的自己：一个来自亚特兰大的 23 岁女孩，经历恋爱，处理男孩带来的麻烦，并且仍在寻找自己的方向。
“我认为人们可能觉得我处理好了一切，但实际上我并没有，”里德说道，她以在……中的表演而闻名。
斯通·里德的新单曲《Shotty》于周五发行。

向华盛顿部署 国民警卫队的 惊人成本 B12
作者：THOMAS FLOYD
在《泰德·拉索》（Ted Lasso）第四季的开头，由朱诺·坦普尔（Juno Temple）饰演的活泼营销专家基莉·琼斯（Keeley Jones）站在里士满足球俱乐部（AFC Richmond）的股东面前，宣布启动该英格兰足球俱乐部筹备已久的女子队。
“这已经筹备了三年，”基莉说，“我们终于实现了。”
这个角色当然是指组建一支职业足球队所需的时间。但这个元评论也承认了一个显而易见的事实：这部获得艾美奖的喜剧在周三于 Apple TV 回归之前，已经停播了三年。
这是现代流媒体的一个案例研究。

在《泰德·拉索》凭借 2020 年大获好评的首秀并在不到一年后推出第二季后，第三季是在经历了 16 个月的停播后才推出的。现在，第四季标志着一次温和的重启，因为《泰德·拉索》带着给杰森·苏德基斯（Jason Sudeikis）饰演的淳朴教练的新任务和更新的演员阵容回归。
热门剧集可以遵循如此不规律的发行模式，这体现了流媒体的流动性。如今，流媒体被分为两种：一种是每年发行剧集带来的快餐式满足感，另一种是那些在季与季之间可能酝酿数年的电影化剧集。
以充满冲突的厨房喜剧《熊餐厅》（The Bear）和 2022 年夏季首播的奇幻史诗《龙之屋》（House of the Dragon）为例；这两部剧集

科学教授 《亢奋》（Euphoria）、《时间扭曲》（A Wrinkle in Time）以及《最后生还者》（The Last of Us），后者让她在 2024. 年获得了艾美奖。她于去年毕业于南加州大学。
《Shotty》紧随 Reid 的首支单曲《Clean Sweep》之后，延续了她在过去一年中追求的音乐之旅。到目前为止，她已经录制了 25 首以上的歌曲。
Reid 表示，她希望在完成 Teyana Taylor 执导的处女作《Get Lite》的拍摄工作后，将工作重点放在她的首张 EP 上，给自己时间去塑造一个具有连贯故事性的项目。她通过自己的厂牌 1720 Music 独立发行音乐，称这种方式给了她更大的创作自由，同时也为未来与主流唱片公司合作留下了空间。
“走独立路线，你拥有更多……”
Reid 以其荧幕表演而闻名。她在 2024 年获得了艾美奖。

Reid 表示，拥有所有权也让她有机会为其他艺术家开启大门。
“这是最有力量的事情，”她说，“我想签约人们。我想签约词曲作者、制作人和艺术家，并给他们提供机会。”
音乐迅速变得与表演一样对 Reid 至关重要，她将继续她的表演事业，参与即将推出的项目，包括 Netflix 的《Roommates》和《Get Lite》。为 Taylor 的电影做准备将 Reid 舞者的舒适区之外，挑战她让自己在表演方面变得更加自在。
Reid 希望这项技能最终能转化为她自己音乐的演艺能力。
“它和表演一样重要且规模宏大，”她说，“这是我想继续去做并希望不断成长的事情。”

Reid 表示，在好莱坞的多年经历让她做好了面对批评的准备。
“人们觉得我不配赢得艾美奖，但它现在依然摆在我的家里，”她说。“它还在我妈妈家里，所以我并不在乎人们怎么说。”
自发行《Clean Sweep》以来，Reid 表示她基本上不再阅读网络评论。
“我不想被分心或被打消积极性，”她说。“大多数时候我非常感激。大家的评价非常友善，而且人们一直很支持。……我很兴奋，等不及让他们听到更多。”
对于 Reid 来说，音乐现在更多地关乎她一直以来的真实自我。
“并不是每件事都会很完美。并不是每件事都会很端庄、得体、纯净且雄辩，”Reid 说道。“没错，那是我的一个方面，我可以那样做，而且能做得很好。但同样……这也是我。”
（接 B1 页） 在这些东西上，而且我们的技术只会变得更加令人惊叹，但这是否能带来持久的幸福感、意义或目标？这正是疑问所在，”普德（Puder）说道。
随着人们年龄的增长，皮肤会变得更薄，暴露出骨骼结构和皱纹；指关节周围甚至会出现晒斑或色素沉着。
但她的客户通常在进店时并不会要求进行手部护理。相反，这几乎是由中老年女性的新美容标准所引起的一种连锁反应。
它始于面部的肉毒杆菌毒素和填充剂，这在今天已完全被常态化。根据美国整形外科协会（American Society of Plastic Surgeons）一份 2024 年的报告，研究显示，神经调节剂注射（如肉毒杆菌毒素）在一年内增长了 4 %。
许多女性注意到自己的脸部不再与颈部和胸部匹配，一旦她们解决了这种不一致性，她们就会寻找其他部位来弥补衰老造成的差距。这就是手部护理介入的地方。
“这是因人而异、因目标而定的，因为每个人都如此不同。通常是一种[治疗]组合。大多数女性是因为容量流失而就诊的，”维拉斯奎兹（Velazquez）说道。
皮肤助推器（Skin boosters）、钙基填充剂和微针治疗只是人们寻求的几种治疗方法。
美容与医疗医生埃沃马·乌克莱格（Ewoma Ukeleghe）表示，诸如透明质酸之类的皮肤助推器可以通过恢复皮肤流失的容量来产生即时效果。
“皮肤助推器就像是手部年轻化的真正隐喻式‘入门药’。你需要刺破皮肤，这很剧烈。然而，你会立即获得丰盈、柔软、水润皮肤的反馈，”乌克莱格说道。
乌克莱格表示，过去一年中关于手部的讨论有所增加。在 TikTok 上，她最受欢迎的视频之一是关于针对“手部干燥且显老的女孩们”的局部治疗。
她承认，这关乎于让身体各部位看起来年龄一致，但也是一个更大趋势的一部分。
精神科医生大卫·普德（David Puder）表示，抗衰老热在社交媒体出现之前就早已存在。人们现在利用到其优势的是这些高度技术化的程序，它们让他们在外观上感到满意，但内心并不总是如此。
“你可能会花很多钱
亲爱的卡罗琳：我的女儿和她的丈夫在几个月前私奔结婚了。这不是那种夫妻俩偷偷告知少数几个人就完事的私奔——这次完全是私下进行的，双方家庭都被完全蒙在鼓里。我的女儿向我解释说，做出这个决定是为了保护他们免受新郎母亲的影响，那位女士可能非常难以相处且强势（我可以证明这是真的）。尽管我理解他们的理由，但没能参与女儿人生中这个巨大的里程碑，我仍然感到非常悲伤和失望。
卡罗琳·哈克斯 (Carolyn Hax)
现在我的女儿说，他们想在今年秋天举办一场盛大的派对来庆祝他们的婚姻。她对场地、人数和特别细节有着宏大的构想，这基本上把它变成了一场事后补办的婚礼招待会。她询问她父亲和我是否愿意支付部分费用（现实地说，几乎是全部费用）。
卡罗琳，她是我的孩子，我希望她拥有所有美好的事物。我这一辈子已经给了她我能给的一切。但是，一想到要花 5 位数那么多的钱，去为一个她不想邀请我参加的婚礼办派对，我内心感到强烈的抵触。我觉得我意识到自己在她亲密圈子中所处的位置；事实上，她和她的丈夫在私奔时确实各请了一名朋友作为见证人。对于资助这场派对的想法，我找不到任何慷慨之情。
她和她的丈夫已经同居几年了，所以他们的生活方式并没有真正的改变，而且到她计划的时间点，他们已经正式结婚好几个月了……这件事没有任何让我感到兴奋的地方。
WN_Fix It_3x10.5
所以我不知道该怎么办。是给她一笔我觉得可以接受的钱作为结婚礼物，让她自己办婚礼？我想她想象的是由我来陪她商量礼服、花卉等等，但为什么是现在？仅仅因为费用问题吗？我丈夫则说让我闭嘴，直接掏钱。
—— 感觉被利用的母亲
这些抗衰老趋势的有害之处在于它如何改变了美容行业。普德（Puder）解释说，社交媒体上的一些信息引导人们认为整形手术能赋予他们作为人的价值，这使得治疗不再仅仅是个人的选择，而更多的是一种社会压力。
心理学 Gemma Sharp，一名心理学教授……
资深美容师 Kristin Leite 表示，她的 TikTok 观众在评论区中表达了对手部护理的兴趣，而且在她发布相关视频后，这一话题出现的频率更高。
“年长的女性经常询问关于手部的问题。但一旦我做了个相关视频，人们就会意识到，‘噢等等，我也得给我的手做做这个，’” Leite 说道。
她护理手部的金科玉律是将手部视同面部。这包括她的日常护肤流程，以及每周一次的轮换深度治疗，例如化学剥脱或微针疗法，这对她来说非常有效。
对于 Leite 而言，重点不在于推广专门的抗衰老治疗，而在于扩大人们对手臂和腿部等区域皮肤护理的意识。
“每个人都希望让自己看起来尽可能[年轻]，尤其是考虑到他们的年龄。有些人希望看起来比[实际年龄]年轻得多，但这关乎展现最佳状态，因为那样你才会感觉状态最佳。”
在 Puder 看来，社交媒体算法驱动的抗衰老可能会变得“常态化”。
“有人会花好几个小时研究健身，看别人深蹲和硬拉。另一些人可能会花好几个小时研究美学，”他说。
有些人可能会达到痴迷的程度，从而导致身体意象（body image）问题。
心理科学教授 Gemma Sharp 认为，抗衰老在原则上像个摆钟一样摆动。有些人将抗衰老治疗用于自我护理，而另一些人则过度关注外貌。
“[这种情况]可能会变得令人痛苦，或干扰生活质量，尤其是当这种行为是由不切实际的期望或潜在的身体意象顾虑所驱动时，” Sharp 说道。
她表示，随着美容标准的不断变化，化妆品行业正利用那些曾经被忽视的特征来获利。
“与其假设这反映了虚荣心的增加，不如说它更准确地说明了人们对外貌的看法是如何继续扩展和变化的，” Sharp 说道。
那么接下来的趋势是什么？Leite 和 Velazquez 预测膝盖护理将是下一个趋势。
“随着体重的波动，尤其是使用 GLP-1 类药物后，我们会流失体积和肌肉，对吧？所以很多人走在路上时膝盖显得干瘪（creepy knees），而且膝盖其实没有什么手术可做，” Velazquez 说道。
也许膝盖将成为抗衰老美容治疗的新焦点。或者，至少根据真人秀巨星 Kim Kardashian 的 Instagram 来看，焦点将是脚部。
将你对 X 的失望延续到为 Y 关上大门的程度，尤其是当这最终可能让你失去 Z 时。
这对新人选择私奔是有原因的——一个与你无关的好理由。你自己也说过。我确实理解被排除在外会令人伤心。但我也能看出其中的价值，因为这让他们在面对他母亲时永远拥有否认的空间。他们可以体面地说：“没人知道——只有我们的两名证婚人。”（想象一下，如果新娘的父母知道了会产生怎样的后果？！）为了保护和完整性而需要这样一个紧密的小圈子，意味着你的女儿也没有告诉你任何关于“我的位置”的有意义的事情。所以从目前看来，你似乎让受伤害的情绪在缺乏事实充分支持的情况下草率得出了结论。
现在将此延伸到称那场聚会为“一场她不想邀请我参加的婚礼”，这正是我所说的将痛苦从源头带到了一个全新的场所。我再次承认 X 的重要性，即错过孩子的里程碑时刻。我理解。但就你所知，你的女儿其实想让你在场。但由于预见到新郎母亲可能会引发冲突，她明确地构思了 Y，即婚礼后派对，并邀请你帮她规划。为什么要把这个也给否决了？难道这不能是一对夫妇针对复杂情况采取的临时解决方案吗？
卡戴珊最近发布了一条 Instagram 动态来纪念她已故的祖母，这引发了网上的热议。她写道：“任何认识我祖母的人都知道，她拥有世界上最年轻、最美丽的双脚，而且她希望每个人都知道，哈哈，”并在文中配了一张她祖母修剪完美的双脚与她其他著名姐妹们双脚的对比照。
插画由 Nick Galifianakis 为《华盛顿邮报》绘制
这是一次情感上的挑战，而不是针对你个人的排斥？
你建议直接拿出一个金额交给她。然而，这将使你对女儿最糟糕的猜想成为现实——即她把你仅仅当成一个钱包。此外，你感到不悦的原因之一——他们的同居——在举办婚礼时同样适用。所以，那样做听起来只是在发苦。
事实回顾：秘密私奔有充分理由；现在她想让你完全参与进来；费用与婚礼相同（对吧？），仅仅是推迟了。因此，如果你愿意，你有理由将你的失望归类为“并非针对个人”，然后顺其自然。当然，前提是要设定预算上限。
或者，你也可以选择带着怨恨参加派对。
但请考虑到 Z，以及这对夫妇从现在起将共同经营的婚姻，以及这段关系将带他们去的地方和让他们结识的新人。把它想象成一段旅程。怨恨是沉重的，如果你能轻装上阵，你更有可能陪伴在女儿身边。（不像新郎的母亲那样，咳咳。）

来自 B1 的流媒体内容 在流媒体 era，剧集制作周期在延长
在 6 月回归时，《熊餐厅》(The Bear) 已经进入第五季（也是最后一季），而《龙之屋》(House of the Dragon) 正在首播第三季。春季，捕捉时代精神的剧集《亢奋》(Euphoria) 在停播四年后播出了告别季。横扫艾美奖的喜剧《绝经》(Hacks) 同样在道别——在该剧处于《亢奋》停播期间的空窗期内，它发布了五季中的四季。医疗剧《深坑》(The Pitt) 和悬疑惊悚剧《人生切割术》(Severance) 都在拍摄第三季，不过前者首播于 2025 年，而后者自 2022 年起就开始播出。
这些播出间隔较长的剧集是电视荧屏上最受欢迎的作品之列。但长时间暂停后如何跟上剧集进度，往往说起来容易做起来难。上个月，彭博社报道了 Netflix 在维持第二季观众留存率方面所面临的困难。一个可能的因素是：许多在季度之间进行长时间休整的剧集，恰恰是那些依赖复杂情节和深刻人物塑造来吸引观众的作品。
“我不点名，但有两三部剧，我妻子和我当时就觉得：‘我们很喜欢第一季，但我们现在没精力回过头去补齐每一个细节了’，”反乌托邦惊悚剧《天堂》(Paradise) 的执行制片人约翰·霍伯格 (John Hoberg) 说道，他的妻子是该剧的共同编剧凯特·利克尔 (Kat Likkel)。“这太令人沮丧了。”
这一趋势在 2010 年代初期开始加速，当时 Netflix 开始将资源投入到高端剧集中，而 HBO 的大作《权力的游戏》(Game of Thrones) 提升了观众的预期。随着其他流媒体平台投资原创剧集，好莱坞顶尖人才接纳长篇叙事，具有更多电影质感的剧集开始充斥市场。规模的提升带来了更多的实景拍摄、更宏大的视觉效果以及名气更大的演员。

“电视变得更有野心了，”《绝经》(Hacks) 的共同创作者詹·斯塔茨基 (Jen Statsky) 表示。“拍摄需要更多时间，剪辑需要更多时间，你根本无法维持以前那样频繁的播出节奏。”
某些剧集证明了等待是值得的。当《怪奇物语》(Stranger Things) 在阔别三年后于去年秋天回归第五季（也是最后一季）时，其播放量达到了 59.6 million 次。

在最初的五天内就刷新了 Netflix 的英语剧集记录。《离职》（Severance）第二季——同样在经过三年的等待后发行——在斩获八项艾美奖之前，创下了 Apple TV 历史上最高的观众人数。《龙之屋》（House of the Dragon）在今年夏天回归，获得了该系列最好的评价，观众人数虽略有下降，但被归因于世界杯的竞争。
“他们的目标是达到好莱坞电影的制作质量，”乔治敦大学专门研究电影和媒体研究的教授 Caetlin Benson-Allott 表示，“这里隐含的一点是，如果你想要电影质感的电视剧，那么有时你会发现剧集的发行周期像电影续集一样——而不是线性的电视季度。”
这就是为什么像 Brendon Boutin（又名 Man of Recaps）这样的 YouTuber 能够开辟出一个利基市场，通过帮观众唤起记忆来获利。Boutin 本职是一名视频编辑，他在成为《权力的游戏》死忠粉期间开始制作回顾视频，以此回答朋友们关于他们在剧集季与季之间遗忘的所有角色、地点和情节的问题。2019, 年，他为《权力的游戏》最终季以及大银幕漫威巨制《复仇者联盟 4：终局之战》制作的入门指南 each 均获得了超过 2 million 次的观看量——这让他确信了这一事业的持久性。
其公式很简单：在将《布里杰顿》（Bridgerton）和《黑袍纠察队》（The Boys）等剧集往季的高光片段，或持续更新的电影系列电影片段剪辑在一起后，Boutin 在画面滚动时将镜头转到自己身上，快速讲述情节要点。他以毫无保留的热情和一丝不羁地进行即兴旁白。虽然一些多季回顾视频的时长达到了半小时，但他的大多数视频维持在 10 分钟左右。
“当一部剧回归时，距离上次可能已经过了两年，有时甚至是三年，你看到的‘前情提要’根本不够用，”Boutin 说。“我尝试引导你，让你感觉像是在极短的时间内完整重温了一季，因为现在的情况就是这样。”
“你会在一个周末把它全部刷完，然后两年后，就像是：‘我完全不记得发生了什么。’”
但对于像 HBO Max 的《绝活》（Hacks）这样的“独角兽”来说，回顾视频并非必要。该剧每 12 个月稳定推出，并始终收获强劲的观众人数、评论界的赞誉和奖项的青睐。（第三季在经历将近两年的停播后发行，原因是好莱坞罢工和主演 Jean Smart 的心脏手术。）上个月，该剧最终季以 24 项艾美奖提名创下了喜剧剧集记录。
“这对我们来说一直是一个讨论话题，”与妻子 Lucia Aniello 及 Statsky 共同创作该剧的 Paul W. Downs 表示。“我们一直希望以一种让观众感到可靠的节奏交付剧集。但同时，我们也希望按照既定方式制作该剧并保持质量——如果不能超越前一季，至少也要持平。”
对于 Downs、Aniello 和 Statsky 来说，这意味着一个直接的牺牲：放弃他们的夜晚、周末和假期时间。“我们在两季之间可能只有 48 小时，我没有夸张，”Aniello 说。“这对心智、身体和灵魂都是极大的考验。但这对我们确实有效。”
在编剧室为 10 集的一季剧集敲定八或九份剧本后，创意团队会一边在完善剩余剧本、准备后续集数并对到手的素材进行剪辑，一边投入生产。凭借这种精疲力竭但高效的方法，以及这部半小时情景喜剧相对简单的设定——关于一名资深单口喜剧演员与她的 Z 世代徒弟之间爱恨交织的关系——《绝活》一次又一次地赶上了年度截稿日期。
“我们将我们的每一集都像对待电影一样对待，”道恩斯说。“只是我们没有一小时的素材，也没有可以加入的巨龙，而且我们没有——我在找个笑话——没有在周末不工作的自我保护意识。”
另一方面，制作人和编剧霍伯格表示，Hulu 的《天堂》（Paradise）在构思之初就一直追求一种“2000年代大型网络电视台的品质”。这部令人心跳加速的剧集聚焦于一个后末日时期的美国地下社会，拥有众多角色、平行时间线以及丰富的背景设定。因此，创作者丹·福格尔曼及其合作者承诺定期发布剧集，以帮助观众跟上曲折的叙事，并迅速解决季末的悬念。
“从一开始，我们就希望这成为一部我们的侄子、阿姨和叔叔都会观看的剧集，”霍伯格说。“我们讨论过的一件事就是，‘我的阿姨不会在等待 2 年的时间后，再试图回忆起所有情节的’。”
实现这一目标的关键之一是：在前一季播出、甚至在续订之前几个月，Hulu 就批准了编剧室开始准备第 2 季和第 3 季的创作。如果该剧失败，这将成为一项沉没成本。但霍伯格表示，一旦续订指令下达，该剧就能够为下一季带来“滚动启动”状态——勘查地点、设计布景、敲定剧本——然后在几周后立即重新投入生产。
“在某些方面，你在心理上需要采取一种网络电视的运作方式才能做到这一点，”霍伯格说。“但我希望，仅作为一名观众和热爱电视行业的人，这种情况能再次成为常态，因为我认为观众需要它。”
如果说《天堂》为了方便而牺牲了任何质量，你也不会察觉到。第二季的每集观众人数都在增加，该剧在获得的七项艾美奖提名中，包括一项最佳剧情类剧集提名。
《天堂》、《哈克斯》（Hacks）以及其他年度艾美奖宠儿（如《皮特》和《熊店》）的成功，是否能为流媒体平台提供一份路线图？还是说，观众将继续接受漫长的等待，以换取像《离职》（Severance）或《龙之屋》这样顶级的电视作品？斯塔茨基在回答这个问题时，回到了她的叙事本能。
“归根结底，人们仍然会对真实性和独创性产生共鸣，”她说。“所以，这是目前唯一能指引我们的东西。”

星座运势
巨蟹座 (6月21日-7月22日) 你今天很受关注。请留意这一点，以防你需要进行损害控制。讽刺的是，你可能会有点霸道，因为你在某些事情上想要由你决定。因此，你会顶撞老板以及其他挑战你的人。（记得保持礼貌。）
狮子座 (7月23日-8月22日) 今天你可以探索新想法，结识新朋友，学习新事物。政治和有争议的话题可能也会吸引你。如果确实如此，你会大胆发言。由于今天大部分时间处于月相预警期，请不要自愿承担任何事情。
处女座 (8月23日-9月22日) 你可能会陷入关于共有财产、共同财富、遗产、税收或债务的讨论中。如果是这样，今天并不适合同意任何重要事项。（请查看月相预警。）获取信息。做好功课。等到明天再行动。
天秤座 (9月 23-10月 22) 今天你可能会吸引到一个人，对方虽然好斗且有点强势，但很有趣。听听他们想说什么；在某些方面可能会给你带来启发。尽管如此，由于这一天大部分时间处于月亮警报期，不要同意任何重要事项。
天蝎座 (10月 23-11月 21) 你已经准备好卷起袖子大干一场了！这就是为什么你可能会将任务委派给他人，并且显得有点专横。请记住，这一天大部分时间处于月亮警报期，所以请坚持既定计划。等到明天再开始尝试新事物（你会庆幸自己这么做了）。
射手座 (11月 22-12月 21) 这是一个充满趣味且具有竞争性的一天！如果你对团队运动或体育活动感兴趣，就出去尽情发挥吧。你现在精力充沛，准备就绪！对配偶、伴侣和亲密朋友保持聪明且耐心的态度，以维持和谐。
摩羯座 (12月 22-1月 19) 今天请对家人保持理解和宽容，以避免冲突。尽管如此，你希望能对周围环境做一些改进。你可能会发现需要修理的地方，以及为了未来的安全而加强居住地的方案。
水瓶座 (1月 20-2月 18) 今天你会捍卫自己的想法并解释你的诉求，因为你的沟通风格正受到火星的激励。这让你想要主导和掌控局面。请意识到这一天大部分时间处于月亮警报期。请冷静下来。
双鱼座 (2月 19-3月 20) 你可能会 tempted 快速且鲁莽地花钱。这不是一个好主意。今天下午 2:15 到晚上 11 点之间，请将支出限制在食物和汽油上。保持理智。

“我听过一些错误被称为‘专家级错误’，”一名俱乐部球员对我说。“我原以为专家是不出错的；所以他们才是专家。” “每个人都会犯错，”我说。“专家犯的技术性错误较少，但任何人都有盲点。” 由于在黑桃花色上叫得过高，今天的西家在面对四心合约时领先出黑桃K。南家（据称是一位专家）出了虚拟手的A——随后东家吃掉并领先出一张方块。 南家拿走A，拔掉主牌并领先出一张黑桃，但西家出小牌。虚拟手的9赢得该墩，但南家最终损失了一张黑桃、一次吃牌、一张方块和一张梅花。 南家在第一墩就失去了专注；虚拟手必须出小黑桃。随后西家领先出一张小黑桃：9号牌赢，被东家吃掉。南家可以赢得方块回传，拔掉主牌，领先一张黑桃给虚拟手的J，并拿走A，从而赢得 10 墩。 如果南家将北家的1NT提到3NT，效果会更好。南家可以在自己手中算到 8 墩，而北家肯定能提供额外的一墩。 也许南家根本就不是什么专家。
每日问题 你持有： ♠ 无 ♥ 10 7 5 3 ♦ Q 10 8 6 2 ♣ K 9 8 4 对手处于脆弱状态。 你的搭档发牌并开叫三梅花。下一名玩家加倍。 你如何叫牌？ 答案：你的对手肯定能达成六黑桃，也许是七黑桃。专家们会有不同的战术方法。有些人可能会温和地加到四梅花或五梅花；其他人可能会尝试某种大胆的诈唬叫法。面对优秀的对手，我的首选是叫七梅花。

在首次穿着护具 训练中表现火热
对抗强度增加
BY TASHAN REED
在训练营期间，华盛顿指挥官队（Washington Commanders）于周一首次进行了穿着护具的练习。虽然没有进行直接将对方撞翻在地的人员擒抱，但增强的身体对抗使得球队能够进行更全面的评估，尤其是对于攻守两端的锋线球员、跑卫和线卫而言。
以下是四个要点：
Jayden Daniels 的快速启动
第一个对抗时段是达阵线演练。进攻端起势强劲，通过一次漂亮的达阵取得了开门红，四分卫 Jayden Daniels 在一次淡出路线（fade route）中将球传给了接球手 Terry McLaurin。McLaurin 通过在开球线一次漂亮的脱离动作击败了角卫 Mike Sainristil，接住传球并在端区后方用脚尖触地。
然而，在下一次开球时，防守端迅速反击。Daniels 的初次判断目标并未跑开，防守截锋 Javon Kinlaw 突破防线，原本将造成一次擒杀（sack）。
接下来是一个从防守方 30 码线开始的推进球演练。进攻端主要集中在跑球进攻和快速传球上。
该环节的高光时刻出现在 Daniels 在口袋区灵活移动以争取额外时间，随后向端区后方的紧端锋 Chig Okonkwo 射出一记子弹般精准的传球，这原本将是一次约 20 码的达阵。由于传球稍低，Okonkwo 必须通过一次令人惊叹的飞身接球来完成这次进攻。
“那是他在把球传向我的空档，”Okonkwo 说道。“我试图牵制住那名防守队员。我不希望反应太快导致他转身。我只是在等待球完全传到我这里，而此时他并没有在看我。”
首发防守组在 3-4 基础阵型中花费了大量时间，Sonny Styles 担任中线卫，Leo Chenal 担任强侧外线卫，Frankie Luvu 担任弱侧线卫。考虑到进攻端频繁跑球，这样安排是合理的，但在实际比赛中，他们可能会更频繁地使用镍包（nickel package）阵型，以避免在空中对抗中出现错位。
红区演练中的平衡
在一次七对七的红区演练中，Daniels 再次找到 McLaurin，完成了他当天的第三次达阵。McLaurin 在外侧击败了角卫 Amik Robertson 并完成了一次跳跃接球。

Baltimore Sun
巴尔的摩 —— 在大联盟（MLB）首秀前的瞬间，捕手 Adley Rutschman 给了自己 10 秒钟的安静时间。
自 2019 年选秀被选为总状元以来，Rutschman 一直被视为巴尔的摩棒球的救星，而现在他到来了。他站在本垒板后，环视了一圈他的新家——卡姆登球场（Camden Yards），然后戴上口罩，下蹲，开启他作为大联盟球员的旅程。
四年多之后，Rutschman 将无法再以金莺队球员的身份在卡姆登球场做这件事了。
金莺队在周一做出了一个令人震惊的决定，将他们的基石捕手 Rutschman 交易给了波士顿红袜队。作为交换，

在锦标赛的大部分时间里，华盛顿公开赛获得了极罕见的良好天气，但好运在决赛时耗尽了。由于周日经历了数小时的延迟，导致女子单打决赛未能完成，男子单打决赛未能开始，两场决赛均被推迟至周一。
周一比赛时，相当一部分观众回到了石溪公园（Rock Creek Park）。在比赛恢复前，威廉·H.G. 费兹杰拉德网球中心（William H.G. Fitzgerald Tennis Center）为前 1,000 名到达的球迷提供免费入场机会，这进一步增加了观众人数。
在女子决赛中，来自菲律宾的 21 岁选手 Alex Eala 在三盘大战中逆转击败了 Jessica Pegula。后者是 2019 年华盛顿站的冠军，目前世界排名第 3.。Eala 以 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 的比分获胜，夺得她的首个 WTA 巡回赛冠军。
在男子方面，Taylor Fritz 和 Rafael Jodar 在下午 2 点前不久开始了他们的决赛，比最初计划时间晚了近 24 小时。Fritz 世界排名第九，且拥有 10 个 ATP 巡回赛冠军。
直到 2027 年都处于球队控制之下。金莺队得到了右投手 Anthony Eyanson 和 Kyson Witherspoon，外野手 Enddy Azocar，捕手 Carlos Narváez 以及一名待定的球员。波士顿还得到了资深捕手 Jake Rogers，金莺队上周在与底特律老虎队的交易中获得了该球员。
此举可能标志着巴尔的摩重建后时代的结束，Rutschman 在 2022 年 5 月 21 日首秀之日开启了这个时代。几乎在他到达的那一刻起，金莺队就成为了竞争者，该赛季的表现超出了预期，在夺得 2023 年美国联盟东区冠军之前就已进入外卡竞争，并在 2024 年赢得了 91 场比赛。
但那是 Rutschman 和金莺队的巅峰，他们随后在两轮季后赛系列赛中都被横扫出局，并在每一场中表现挣扎。

瑞士，尼翁 —— 欧洲足球管理机构欧足联（UEFA）威胁要就吉安尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）试图向私人投资者出售未来世界杯利润份额的失败计划对国际足联（FIFA）采取法律行动，并表示任何潜在证据均不应被销毁。
因凡蒂诺这项旨在从包括约书亚·库什纳（Joshua Kushner）的纽约投资公司在内的投资者那里筹集 42 亿美元 十亿资金的秘密提案在周六早些时候被放弃，此前几天媒体报道揭露此事并引发了全球愤怒。
欧足联领导了这次抵制行动。周四，其 55 个成员协会开会同意抵制所有国际足联的活动和比赛。

走出 交易截止日 阴霾
连败纪录达到 6 场
作者：DANIELLE ALLENTUCK
费城 —— 周一下午，华盛顿国民队（Washington Nationals）的球员们试图尽可能正常地处理自己的事务，尽管距离下午 6 点的交易截止日期已经越来越近。
在更衣室里，他们小心地绕开福斯特·格里芬（Foster Griffin）。格里芬背对着队友坐着，手指不断地在手机上敲击，他的未来悬而未决。在场上，教练们在三垒线附近聚集在一起进行紧凑的讨论。经理布莱克·布特拉（Blake Butera）多次走开接电话，然后在击球练习投球的间隙定期检查手机。球员们在休息区跑过时，询问时间，计算还剩下多少分钟。
国民队已经与球队中最高产的击球手之一柯蒂斯·米德（Curtis Mead）告别，他在 7 月 25. 日被交易到了波士顿红袜队。周日晚上，国民队与队中资历最深的球员路易斯·加西亚（Luis García Jr.）进行了情感深沉的离别。球员们最后一次共同乘坐飞机从亚特兰大飞往费城，然后在加西亚乘车前往纽约加盟洋基队之前，排队一个个地拥抱他。
“看到他离开我真的很伤心，尤其是考虑到他在这个组织中所经历的一切，”安德烈斯·查帕罗（Andrés Chaparro）在周一晚上国民队 6-3 输给费城人队之前的翻译中说道。“他是一个给这个更衣室带来很多能量和快乐的人。我们会想念他的。”
在时钟敲响下午 6 点之前的 30 分钟，以及在华盛顿在费城开启四场系列赛的一小时前，球队完成了最后一次交易，将格里芬送到了克利夫兰守护者队。这次交易换回了 3 名投手——左投手乔什·哈特尔（Josh Hartle）和威尔·迪翁（Will Dion），以及右投手肯德格利斯·维格斯（Kendeglys Virguez），此外还包括外野手尼克·米切尔（Nick Mitchell）。
格里芬在本赛季后将成为自由球员，而在加西亚被交易之后，格里芬被交易几乎成了定局。
“失去福斯特很令人难过，”安德鲁·阿尔瓦雷斯（Andrew Alvarez）说道，他在周一先发前赶在最后时刻匆匆说了再见。“他一直是我的绝佳导师，是我非常敬佩的人，我经常向他请教。”
棒球运营总裁保罗·托博尼（Paul Toboni）表示，直到上周，国民队尚未决定他们在截止日期时的立场。华盛顿出人意料地——

毛里西奥·波切蒂诺计划带领美国队参加下届世界杯，但他表示，“你永远不知道会发生什么”。
作者：罗纳德·布鲁姆 (RONALD BLUM)
毛里西奥·波切蒂诺将继续留任美国足球队主教练，他于周一同意签署一份有效期至 2030 年世界杯的四年合同。
现年 54 岁的波切蒂诺于 2024 年 10 月接管国家队，并带领美国队在今年的世界杯上闯入 16 强，随后这支赛事共同主办国球队在 4-1 负于比利时后被淘汰。
尽管如此，在这次扩军至 48 支球队的赛事中，他帮助身为种子队的美国队实现了两项突破：在还剩一场比赛的情况下就提前锁定小组赛出线资格，并在单届世界杯中赢下三场比赛。该队通过球场内激动的观众和创纪录的电视收视率吸引了美国球迷。
“在世界杯期间发生的奇妙事情，与人们的联系，当然还有与整个组织及所有环节的联系，都是关键点，”波切蒂诺在巴塞罗那家中通过 Zoom 新闻发布会表示。

杰基·杨 (Jackie Young) 砍下 28 分、11 个篮板和 10 次助攻，职业生涯第三次拿到三双，拉斯维加斯王牌队以 109-87 击败了主场作战的亚特兰大梦想队。

就在几小时前，因凡蒂诺 (Infantino) 撤回了这项极具争议的提案。该提案向 FIFA 的 211 个成员协会提供每家 200 亿美元 million 的一次性付款，且接受期限为 9 月中旬。
由 FIFA 估值为 200 亿美元的 FFE 拆分公司将接管该足球机构至少到 2038 年的商业盈利和赛事运营。
该方案承诺在此期间为 211 个成员协会将发展资金增加一倍以上，而这些成员协会实际上已经拥有了这家总部位于苏黎世的非营利管理机构。

“我们拥有天赋，”波切蒂诺说道。“我们已经非常接近了。与世界上最顶尖球队之间的差距并不大。”
波切蒂诺表示，美国足球具有“不断成长、不断成长，并成为美国重要[运动]之一”的潜力，“就像它在世界其他地方一样。”
“在这个运动领域，我们拥有能够与世界上最好的组织机构竞争的球员和组织，”他补充道。“我们了解到球迷们非常出色，当他们如此兴奋地去探索一项运动时，这让我们的球迷们变得疯狂，不是吗？这种连接是绝妙的。”
波切蒂诺将下一个周期视为一个新起点，因为目前的计划在门将和中后卫位置上缺乏质量深度。

当波切蒂诺在两年前接替格雷格·贝尔哈特时，他签署了一份有效期至 2026 年世界杯的初始合同。波切蒂诺在锦标赛前表示，他已与足球协会讨论了可能的新协议。他还表示，其经纪人在 5 月份与 AC 米兰进行过接触，随后米兰聘请了鲁本·阿莫林。
波切蒂诺率领美国队取得了 17 场胜利、13 场失败和 1 场平局。在他执教期间出场的 62 名球员中，有 23 人贡献了球队的 57 个进球。

爱尔兰斗牛犬队与特洛伊人队同意 在 ’30 重启宿敌之战
圣母大学与南加州大学（USC）的大学足球宿敌之战将于 2030 年再次开始。

从 1946 年到 2025, 除疫情期间外，两队在每个赛季都会交手，通常在 10 月或 11 月，这被誉为“大学足球中最伟大的跨区宿敌之战”。
一名知情人士在要求匿名的条件下告诉美联社，由于该决定尚未公布，2030 年的时间点之所以空出，是因为卫冕全国冠军印第安纳大学取消了原定于 2030 年和 2031 年与爱尔兰斗牛犬队进行的主客场循环赛。

在随后的训练中，丹尼尔斯在跑动中传球，再次得分。在接下来的进攻中，斯泰尔斯通过一次精彩的传球干扰，为防守组赢得胜利。
在同一项训练中，接球手安东尼奥·威廉姆斯在跑斜路时完成了一次触地得分，表现出色。
竞争程度升级
接下来的球队训练时段是一次 11-on-11 的红区训练。在第一次进攻中，角卫阿克洛·威瑟斯庞通过一次单手飞身拦截传球，帮助防守组将进攻组赶下场。
当替补球员进入场时，接球手杰林·莱恩接到了四分卫马库斯·马里奥塔的传球并得分。在随后的进攻中，他又接到了四分卫阿塔内·卡利亚克马尼斯的一次传球得分。这是莱恩在本次训练营中至今为止表现最好的一次练习。
在首发进攻组的下一次进攻中，安全卫杰里米·里夫斯几乎通过一次跳跃拦截截球，但未能将其稳住。尽管错失这次机会，防守组最终还是成功完成了拦截。
在一次 11-on-11 的推进球训练时段中，防守端锋查尔斯·奥梅尼胡从中路迅速施压，迫使丹尼尔斯离开口袋区域。外线卫奥达费·欧维追击丹尼尔斯，导致后者为了避免被擒杀而将球扔掉。在接下来的进攻中，奥梅尼胡和欧维联手完成了一次擒杀。在同一波进攻的后期，塞恩里斯蒂尔连续两次干扰传球，帮助防守组再次完成拦截。
总结与伤病消息
总体而言，这无疑是进攻组在本次训练营至今为止最好的一次练习。丹尼尔斯的传球精准无误，接球手在创造拉开空间方面也做得更好。
不利因素：进攻线在传球保护和跑球进攻方面继续出现问题。正如整个训练营的情况一样，防守线的表现优于其

获胜者以 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 击败了乔达，赢得了他自 2022 年以来的首个 500 级赛事冠军。
在赛点结束之后，弗里茨将球拍扔在场上，仰面躺下。进入本次比赛前，他今年在决赛中 0 胜 3 负，因此这次胜利让他感觉很棒。
“与其说是庆祝，不如说是我累了。这只是某种解脱，像是‘感谢上帝我完成了’，‘感谢上帝比赛结束了’，”弗里茨在获胜后的反应中笑着说道。“这并不像是一种庆祝。只是感谢上帝我终于结束了，我可以躺一会儿。”
佩古拉与埃拉的比赛原定于周日下午 2:30 开始，考虑到晚上的糟糕天气，比赛被提前到中午进行，但雨早早地落下且几乎没有停过。中午的开赛时间变成了下午 3 点，在雨再次落下之前，她们完成了一盘以及第二盘的 3 局。
在经历了超过五个小时的第二次延迟后，比赛在晚上约 9:15 宣布停止。当这一天结束时，女单比赛处于第二盘的发球轮，埃拉以 2-1 领先，但接下来轮到佩古拉发球。
除了为早到者提供免费入场外，赛事组还为任何希望在周一返回观看的人提供周日的门票。这座拥有 7,500 个座位的体育馆远未坐满，但绝大多数到场的人都全力支持埃拉。
“今天的观众声音真的很大，”佩古拉说。“坦白说，有时我太沉浸在自己的世界里，没注意到场面有多疯狂，因为我觉得我的感知可能与观众席上的人们不同。很高兴看到今天有这么多观众到场。我认为对于一场周一的决赛来说，这非常好。尽管结果对我不利，但我认为现场气氛依然很棒。”
第二盘剩下的部分竞争激烈，但当埃拉通过破发赢得该盘 6-4 时，那些挥舞着菲律宾国旗的球迷开始预感到他们所期待的结果。
Eala在第三盘迅速发力，而佩古拉几乎没有提供多少抵抗。这位 21 岁的选手迅速取得了 5-0 的领先，随后在佩古拉的发球局中获得了三个破发点以争取赢得比赛。Eala没能把握住第一次机会，但在 40-15 时，双方短暂的拉锯战以佩古拉的一次反手球出界而告终。
四分卫杰登·丹尼尔斯带领指令者队的进攻组完成了训练营至今表现最好的一次练习。
对手。
整个练习过程中，跑卫防守非常稳固，跑卫们没有太多创造空间的余地。防守线在维持缺口完整性方面做得很好，而线卫们反应迅速，在抢争线附近迅速做出反应并完成截击。
在传球游戏中，防守线能够频繁地从边缘突破，同时在口袋中央形成持续的推进。奥韦将功劳归于防守协调员达隆特·琼斯，称赞他明确告知球员何时可以全力投入冲传，并给予他们在过程中即兴发挥的自由。
“他会非常精准地告诉我们在哪些进攻回合中可以直接冲锋，”奥韦说，“很多时候，你得凭直觉猜测、选择并读取关键信号之类的东西。但他真的会让我们知道。他将这些分为不同的类别：在这些回合中，你可以直接冲过去，全速前进，
泰勒·弗里茨自 2022 年以来尚未赢得过 500 级别赛事的冠军，且今年在决赛中 0 胜 3 负。在获胜后，他如释重负地瘫倒在球场上。
就那样冲。作为一名优秀的球员，当你拥有这些带有自由度的指令时，你必须理解如何利用这一点，以及如何与进攻线进行‘博弈’。达隆特在将每个指令模块化方面做得很好。”
虽然克里斯·保罗在训练营的第一周稳坐首发左护锋之位，但指令者队在周一调整了阵容，换上了布兰登·科尔曼。保罗在去年击败科尔曼赢得了首发之职，但随着两名球员在整个练习过程中交替出场，这再次变成了一场公开竞争。
角卫位置上的变动也比平时更多。罗伯逊和塞因里斯蒂尔在大多数训练中作为首发外围双人组出场，但教练组也经常让威瑟斯庞和拉斯尔·道格拉斯组成双人组进行练习。有时，角卫会在同一次进攻驱动中进行更换。
线卫凯恩·梅德拉诺因腿后肌受伤缺席了训练营的第一周，但在周一获得了医疗许可，从“身体状况无法执行”名单中激活并恢复练习。在一次 11 对 11 的红区训练中，梅德拉诺截获了卡利亚克马尼斯的球。
中锋尼克·阿莱格雷蒂（小腿）、近端紧端锋约翰·贝茨（腿后肌）、防守端锋多兰斯·阿姆斯特朗（ACL）、防守端锋迪特里奇·怀斯小（股四头肌）、角卫特雷·阿莫斯（腓骨）和弃球手特雷斯·韦（胸肌）周一缺席了练习。教练丹·昆表示，阿莫斯和韦将在周四重新评估。
朱利安·古德-琼斯一直在代替阿莱格雷蒂与首发阵容一起训练。指令者队在周日签下了中锋特雷·希尔以增加阵容深度，但昆表示，这并不意味着对阿莱格雷蒂的伤情感到过度担忧。周六，他表示预计阿莱格雷蒂将缺席约一周的练习。
熊队的安全卫布莱恩特可能缺席 高达 10 周
美联社
芝加哥熊队的首发安全卫科比·布莱恩特（Coby Bryant）在周一的一次一对一训练中因明显的腿部受伤而离场，在球队首次穿着护具的训练中被用推车运离。
布莱恩特此前是西雅图海鹰队的球员，是通过自由球员市场引进的。他在与紧端锋科尔·克梅特（Cole Kmet）进行一对一训练时，在膝盖附近的左腿处感到剧痛并紧抓不放。虽然他能够依靠自己的力量进入推车，但这一幕令熊队感到不安，因为在重新调整的首发二线后卫阵容中，球队非常依赖布莱恩特的速度。
球队尚未公布伤势的性质或严重程度，教练本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）在周一训练前发表了讲话。然而，ESPN 报道称，布莱恩特可能因超伸、骨挫伤和轻微骨折而缺席 8 到 10 周。
“你知道，看到这种情况总是很糟糕，”紧端锋科尔斯顿·洛夫兰（Colston Loveland）在谈到这次受伤时说，“这是运动的一部分。你知道，他很强悍，像头猛犬一样。他会没事的。”

“我们并不担心，但我不知道。我们会把（预后情况）交给约翰逊教练。”
在安全卫位置上，卡姆·刘易斯（Cam Lewis）和格尔瓦里乌斯·欧文斯（Gervarrius Owens）接替了布莱恩特。他的角色至关重要，因为他是一名老将，与另一侧安全卫位置上的新秀首发迪伦·蒂内曼（Dillon Thieneman）搭档。熊队从布法罗签下了自由球员刘易斯，而欧文斯在上一赛季处于芝加哥的练习阵容中。
熊队确实得到了一则好消息：跑卫凯尔·莫南盖（Kyle Monangai）在因软组织损伤连续缺席三次训练后，短暂回到了训练场。莫南盖在上一赛季作为首发球员 D’Andre Swift 之后的 2 号跑卫，通过 169 次冲球跑出 783 码，并获得 5 次达阵。
“我们目前在走一步看一步，”约翰逊说，“我们正在解决这个问题。他在努力进行康复训练，恢复时间应该会相对较短。”

在击出那个致胜球后，埃拉（Eala）跪在地上，将脸埋在双手中。由于情绪激动，她小跑向球网与佩古拉（Pegula）短暂拥抱，然后再次跪回地上。
“我太紧张了。我简直像断片了一样，”埃拉说，“所有的事情都涌向我，在最后几分之前我真的非常紧张。我一直在努力将这些紧张情绪转化为击好球和快速移动脚步。这是一次巨大的情感爆发。”
埃拉是第一位赢得 WTA 冠军的菲律宾女性，这为她职业生涯早期已经很长的成就清单又增加了一项。
“赢得一场 500 赛，这太疯狂了，”埃拉说，“对我来说这是一个不可思议的里程碑。你知道，在这一周开始时，我绝不会想到我会捧起这座奖杯。甚至在今年年初也不会。这些事情就这样悄然而至，我将这些时刻深深铭记在心。”
l 49ERS：迈克·埃文斯（Mike Evans）因股四头肌拉伤缺席训练，这是旧金山接球手阵营中最新的伤病。
他的缺席让 49 人的接球手位置极其捉襟见肘。预计的首发球员里奇·皮尔萨尔（Ricky Pearsall）因上一赛季后交叉韧带受伤且未能痊愈需要手术，本赛季已赛季报销。球队的最高顺位选秀球员德扎恩·斯特里布林（De’Zhaun Stribling）因大腿后肌紧张缺席了过去两次训练，而老将克里斯蒂安·柯克（Christian Kirk）在今年夏天球队首次训练中因小腿拉伤而缺阵。
埃文斯将在本月晚些时候年满 33 岁。在坦帕湾海盗队度过了首个 12 个赛季后，他在 3 月与旧金山签署了一份为期三年、价值 $42.5 百万美元的合同。他是 NFL 历史上第一位在职业生涯前 11 个赛季中每个赛季接球码数均至少达到 1,000 码的球员，并 6 次入选职业碗（Pro Bowls）。
但在过去两个赛季中，他一直受到伤病困扰，2024 年缺席了 3 场比赛，上一赛季则因大腿后肌受伤和锁骨骨折缺席了 9 场比赛。埃文斯在上一赛季仅有 30 次接球，跑出 368 码并获得 3 次达阵。
牛仔队：近端锋普林斯顿·范特（Princeton Fant）在训练中离开，显然是遭受了膝盖受伤。
在牛仔队首次穿着全套护具进行训练营训练的一项团队练习中，范特被向后阻挡并撞到了跑卫以色列·阿巴尼坎达（Israel Abanikanda）身上，导致其左腿遭受了膝盖撞击。范特在地上停留了数分钟，随后在无法支撑腿部重量的情况下被扶至训练师帐篷。他随后被用推车运离球场。
范特在 2023 年作为一名来自田纳西大学的非选秀自由球员签约，在三个赛季中出场 11 场比赛，主要在特种作战队中就职。他是新奥尔良圣徒队近端锋诺亚·范特（Noah Fant）的表亲。

随着周一交易截止日期的临近，目前为止最大的一笔交易由底特律老虎队促成，
他们将左手王牌投手塔里克·斯库巴尔 (Tarik Skubal) 送到了洛杉矶道奇队。 斯库巴尔在本赛季结束后将成为自由球员，而底特律队的胜率低于 .500。但即便考虑到这一切，交易掉 2024 和 2025 年的赛扬奖得主也绝非易事。老虎队将根据他们换回的三名潜力新星——齐希尔·霍普 (Zyhir Hope)、里弗·瑞安 (River Ryan) 和布雷迪·史密斯 (Brady Smith) 的表现来接受评判。 历史表明，交易像斯库巴尔这种水准的投手后仍有可能获得不错的结果，但也有许多球队在交易中几乎没有得到什么回报。
本周棒球动态
以下是八个在赛扬奖得主获胜后的次年赛季结束前被交易的实例（感谢 Baseball Reference 提供的交易回顾）：
l 弗兰克·维奥拉 (Frank Viola)，明尼苏达双城队至纽约大都会队，1989：明尼苏达队在交易维奥拉时获得球员中包括里克·阿吉莱拉 (Rick Aguilera) 和凯文·塔帕尼 (Kevin Tapani)。前者在 1991 年（双城队赢得世界大赛的那年）拯救了 42 场比赛，而后者赢得了 16 场。纽约队在维奥拉在职期间从未进入季后赛。
l 大卫·科恩 (David Cone)，堪萨斯城皇家队至多伦多蓝鸟队再至纽约洋基队，1995：科恩在堪萨斯城赢得赛扬奖后的次年实际上被交易了两次。多伦多队用克里斯·斯泰恩斯 (Chris Stynes) 和两名从未进入大联盟的球员换来了他。当蓝鸟队陷入困境时，他们将科恩交易给了洋基队，换回了马蒂·詹森 (Marty Janzen) 和两名从未进入大联盟的球员。
l 佩德罗·马丁内兹 (Pedro Martinez)，蒙特利尔曝光者队至波士顿红袜队，1997：蒙特利尔深知马丁内兹的价值，但由于他即将进入自由签年份，曝光者队在 1997 赛季结束后不久将他交易给了卡尔·帕瓦诺 (Carl Pavano) 和托尼
nationals from B7 外野手杰克逊·杨（Jacob Young）指出，华盛顿队在本赛季面临过其他考验，并找到了反弹的方法。
多年来首次处于季后赛竞争局面。但包括被亚特兰大勇士队横扫在内的五场连败，使国民队目前的胜率低于 .500 三场，距离第三个外卡席位还差 4.5 场。
托博尼（Toboni）表示，即使国民队在那段时间的表现更好，他们可能仍然不会采取激进举措。“我认为从现实来看，我们仍然会在买入和卖出之间寻找平衡，”他说。
国民队仍然认为自己没有出局。但如果他们想要发起冲刺，必须在失去三名最核心球员的情况下进行。
正如布特拉（Butera）告诉球员们的那样，国民队不希望球队将此视为组织放弃本赛季。一些新引进的投手将立即为投手组提供帮助，而该投手组在当天开始时在 MLB 中拥有第四高的 ERA。
海盗 4, 酿者 3
斯宾塞·霍维茨（Spencer Horwitz）击出了一支三分二垒安打，匹兹堡队在本赛季对密尔沃基队的统治地位进一步扩大，在四场系列赛的首场比赛中击败了酿者队。
海盗队先发投手巴巴·钱德勒（Bubba Chandler）在 52 / 3 局中允许三分（两分自责分），被击四安，三振五 人。

凯尔·弗里兰（Kyle Freeland）周日的完投赛是落基山队自 2002 年以来的首次。 他是历史上两名拥有 250 场先发但此前没有完投赛的投手之一。
Armas。波士顿队得以长期留住他，在 1999 年和 2000 年，他交出了活球时代（live-ball era.）最优秀的两年投球表现之一。
l 罗杰·克莱门斯（Roger Clemens），从蓝鸟队转会至洋基队，1999 年：纽约洋基队在获得 114 胜赛季和一次世界大赛冠军后，将球迷喜爱的戴维·威尔斯（David Wells）以及救援投手格雷姆·劳埃德（Graeme Lloyd）和内野手霍默·布什（Homer Bush）送至多伦多。作为回报，洋基队得到了克莱门斯，他与斯库巴尔（Skubal）一样，刚刚连续获得两次赛扬奖。他在纽约期间又获得了一次赛扬奖（2001 年），并一直投球到 2007 年。
CC Sabathia，克利夫兰 $\rightarrow$ 密尔沃基酿造者，2008：另一个可供 Skubal 参考的良好案例，酿造者在 Sabathia 进入自由球员市场前不久将其作为部分赛季的租借球员引进。当时这被证明是值得的，因为他在冲刺阶段取得了 11-2 的战绩，防御率 1.65，帮助密尔沃基 26 年来首次进入季后赛。外野手 Michael Brantley 是该交易方案中随后被指定的球员。
“还剩下 50 场比赛，有足够的比赛可以追回四场差距，”Young 说道。“带我们走到今天这里的阵容，大部分人依然在队中。”
但周一的失利再次凸显了国民队仍有很长的路要走——以及对投手补强的需求是多么紧迫。
国民队一度取得了 3-0 的领先。Abimelec Ortiz 在当天早些时候被召回接替 García，他在第一局击出了职业生涯首支本垒打，投手是 Aaron Nola。在第二局，Daylen Lile 也击出深远球，带动 Keibert Ruiz得分。
国民队原计划采用牛棚赛制，但由于 Alvarez 处于完全休息状态且在进行交易，他们让他投了 61 / 3 局。板凳教练 Michael Johns 最终将其换下——Butera 在第七局上半因为就 Nasim Nuñez 的问题进行争论而被驱逐。

回到克利夫兰，并且成为了五次全明星球员。
l 克里夫·李 (Cliff Lee)，克利夫兰至费城费利城队 (Philadelphia Phillies)，2009年：是的，克利夫兰连续两年交易掉了现任赛扬奖得主——而且李甚至还不是即将成为自由球员的状态。他帮助费城队进入了世界大赛，随后他们又将他交易至西雅图水手队。作为交易的一部分，克利夫兰得到了卡洛斯·卡拉斯科 (Carlos Carrasco)，后者在那里投球超过十年。
l R.A. 迪基 (R.A. Dickey)，大都会队至蓝鸟队，2012年：大都会队在合适的时机交易了迪基，他在 2012 年赢得了 20 场比赛，随后纽约队在 12 月将他送到了蓝鸟队。右投手诺亚·辛德加德 (Noah Syndergaard) 和捕手特拉维斯·达诺 (Travis d’Arnaud) 也是回报的一部分，当大都会队在 2015 年赢得冠军时，两人仍留在纽约。
l 贾斯汀·弗兰德兰 (Justin Verlander)，大都会队至休斯顿太空人队，2023年：弗兰德兰的情况比较复杂，因为他在 2022 年为太空人队赢得赛扬奖后，实际上是以自由球员身份离开的。然后纽
在一次追逐跑垒过程中干扰了比赛。
因此约翰斯在跑者处于一垒和二垒且有一个出局的情况下派出了汤姆·科斯格罗夫 (Tom Cosgrove)。这位左投手保送了埃德蒙多·索萨 (Edmundo Sosa) 导致垒上满员，随后德里克·希尔 (Derek Hill) 的满贯本垒打让费城队以 4-3 领先。布莱斯·哈珀 (Bryce Harper) 在第八局击出克莱顿·比特 (Clayton Beeter) 的一支两分本垒打，锁定胜局。
赛后，随着格里芬 (Griffin) 的储物柜被清空，球员休息室陷入死寂，截止日期的压力和赛季最高六连败的沉重负担袭来。截止日期后的国民队将在周二再次尝试，届时截止日期的情绪将不再那么激烈。
“一旦比赛时间到了，感觉这些球员肩膀上的压力减轻了，”布特拉 (Butera) 说道。“但以这种方式结束令人沮丧。”
注：詹姆斯·伍德 (James Wood) 在第六局左侧受伤。他将于周二进行影像检查以确定伤势严重程度。

知识问答时间
哪位 1974 年的赛扬奖得主在仲裁员宣布其成为自由球员后，能够在 1975 年更换球队？
本周最佳表现
凯尔·弗里兰在周日以 8-1 战胜堪萨斯城的比赛中，投出了科罗拉多落基队自 2002 年以来的首场完投比赛。这是弗里兰的第 251 次先发，也是他的首场完投。爱德华多·罗德里格斯现在成为大联盟历史上唯一一名至少有 250 次先发且没有完投记录的投手。
本周最佳逆转
本周出现了本赛季最疯狂的两场逆转，由两支试图留在美联外卡竞争中的球队贡献。
David Zalubowski / AP
在第七局上半，巴尔的摩在斯库巴尔投球时 0-7 落后于底特律。根据 Baseball Savant 的数据，老虎队的获胜概率为 99.4%。巴尔的摩队最终凭借利奥迪·塔维拉斯在两出局后的打点单打将斯库巴尔赶下场，到底特律的牛棚结束该局时，比分变为 7-5。巴尔的摩在第八局扳平，两队在第 11 局各得 2 分，最终金莺队在第 12 局以 10-9 获胜。
周四，堪萨斯城在第九局下半两出局且无人在垒时 3-0 领先明尼苏达。（获胜概率：99.5%。）一次触球、一支单打和一次保送填满了垒包。随后科迪·克莱门斯击出大满贯，为双城队带来 4-3 的胜利。
知识问答答案
当仲裁员彼得·塞茨判定奥克兰运动队的球队所有者查理·芬利未能按照亨特合同中规定的要求向长期年金基金付款时，凯特菲什·亨特获得了自由身。随后亨特与洋基队签约。

根据提交给国会并由《华盛顿邮报》审阅的信息，五角大楼向华盛顿特区部署国民警卫队的费用在特朗普政府结束前预计将增加 14 亿美元 (14 亿美元 billion)。
这一估算涵盖了 2026 年 10 月至 2029 年 1 月期间，在迄今为止该任务已花费数亿美元的基础上进一步增加。虽然政府尚未披露该任务目前的完整成本，但这一新数字代表了对总统前所未有地动用军队在国家首都巡逻的最全面核算——这一行动遭到了许多民主党人和公民自由倡导者的强烈批评。
该信息是由朱尔斯·赫斯特三世 (Jules Hurst III) 提供给参议院武装服务委员会成员、参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦 (Elizabeth Warren，马萨诸塞州民主党人) 的，这是其确认程序的一部分。赫斯特预计将于本周内与一批特朗普政府的被提名人一同获得确认。

就像许多对自己家族历史感到好奇的人一样，克里斯蒂娜·蒙托里奥 (Christina Montorio) 向一家提供基因分析的公司提交了 DNA 样本。
这一决定导致一名州外调查员敲开了她新泽西州家中前门的门，带来了惊人的消息：蒙托里奥与 1991 年在马里兰州一条州际公路堤岸底部被发现的一名身份不明的女性有亲属关系。
两年前的这次互动表明，调查人员一直如何利用“法医遗传基因谱系学”试图解决这一近期已过去 35 周年的案件。他们试图赋予这名仅被称为“简·多伊 (Jane Doe)”的女性一个身份——在某种程度上是赋予她生命——这一追求似乎正在取得进展。
“他们比以往任何时候都更接近真相了，”蒙托里奥在电话中说道。

在 1991 年 7 月 31 日，一名正在修剪植被的公路工人发现她的遗体呈俯卧状态，位于弗雷德里克县穿越广阔的莫诺卡西内战战场的 270 号州际公路南行线沿线，尸体已腐烂。调查人员估计她的年龄在 17 到 25 岁之间。他们无法确定死因，但很快表示怀疑有他杀可能。
他们还公布了她的穿着细节，包括一条金色人字形项链、一只荧光粉色脚踝链、一件深色背心和一条 11 码的牛仔裙裤（skort，一种裙子与短裤的结合体）。据《弗雷德里克新闻邮报》报道，她的手指甲和脚趾甲涂成了粉红色，且门牙明显突出。
早期的报道称，在该女性尸体被发现的三周前，有人可能在弗雷德里克地区的一户人家见过她。当局还注意到，她被发现的位置距离一个卡车停靠站 10 英里以内。1995 年，马里兰州警加里·巴克特尔告诉记者，他一直在与侦探就一名北卡罗来纳州卡车司机的线索保持联系，该司机曾承认杀害了三名女性并将尸体抛弃在州际公路沿线。这一潜在联系是否得到了进一步追踪尚不清楚。2021 年，一名马里兰州警发言人向《新闻邮报》确认，调查人员已经获得了受害者的 DNA。
2018 年在新泽西州，蒙托里奥决定利用她的 DNA 来研究她的家族背景。作为一名被收养的孩子，她特别希望找到她的亲生父母。
她将唾液样本发送给了 Ancestry 公司，该公司她称提供了关于她血统的信息以及一份特定的 DNA 概况。随后，她将该概况上传到另一家公司 GEDmatch 的网站，该公司旨在帮助具有相似 DNA 概况的人建立联系。
GEDmatch 让她选择是否向执法部门公开她的概况信息。她勾选了“是”。

立法者 考虑 重新划分选区
选举周期的 新地图
作者：萨拉·兰金 (SARAH RANKIN)
美联社
马里兰州立法者周一启动了一次特别会议，以考虑一项党派重新划分选区计划的第一步，该计划可能帮助民主党在 2028 年前增加一个美国众议院席位。
州议会准备就一项拟议的宪法修正案展开辩论，该修正案旨在给予民主党更大的自由度来绘制有利于其政党的国会选区图。目前，该州 8 个众议院选区中有 7 个由民主党代表。该提案必须经由选民批准，立法者才能开始考虑新的选区界线。
深蓝色的马里兰州采取的这一行动被该州少数派共和党人称为公然的权力抢夺。这是全国范围内关于重新划分选区之争的最新进展，这场博弈始于一年前，并在今年的中期选举前重塑了美国众议院的选区图。
民主党州参议院议长比尔·弗格森（巴尔的摩市）在今年早些时候阻挠了一项不同的重新划分选区计划，该计划原本可能在秋季选举前实施新地图，他担心此举在司法审查中可能会产生反作用。但他表示，在 4 月下旬美国最高法院削弱《投票权法》之后，他的观点发生了转变。该裁决为共和党迅速重新配置南部各州（拥有大量少数族裔且曾选举民主党人）的选区提供了新依据——弗格森称目睹这些举措令人“痛心”。
“感觉就像是在眨眼之间，任何类型的民主规范都被瓦解了，”弗格森在一次采访中说道。
深蓝色的马里兰州可能获得一个席位
马里兰州在国会中唯一的共和党代表是众议院自由党团主席安迪·哈里斯代表。哈里斯所在的第 1 选区集中在主要是农村地区的东岸，这是由切萨皮克湾将该州其他地区隔开的一片风景优美的半岛。
2021 年，立法者试图重新绘制地图，使哈里斯的选区对民主党获胜而言更具竞争力，将湾对岸的社区纳入其中。但一名法官在 2022 年否决了这些选区，称其为“极端党派杰利蝾螈（不公正选区划分）的产物”。
鉴于该决定，并希望避免未来的不利法律裁决，立法者将考虑通过立法修订州宪法，以明确法官援引的参数——包括选区形式应紧凑且需考虑“自然边界”——仅适用于州议会选区，而不适用于国会选区。
如果获得两院五分之三的投票通过，该修正案将提交至选民……

在埃隆·马斯克的美国政府效率部 (DOGE) 削减联邦政府的计划中，一名人员在一次企图劫车的袭击中遭到殴打。华盛顿特区国民警卫队临时指挥官莱兰·布兰查德二世 (Leland Blanchard II) 准将周一在新闻发布会上告诉记者，国民警卫队将在华盛顿特区维持存在，直到 2029 年 1 月或“直到总统宣布任务结束”。
提供给沃伦的成本预估假设部署约 2,500 名国民警卫队人员。布兰查德表示，目前市中心约有 4,600 名服役人员，这是为了配合纪念《独立宣言》签署 250 周年夏季活动的临时增派之举。
民主党人称此次部署是对军事资源的浪费，并侵犯了美国人的公民自由；在五角大楼因伊朗战争和其他军事行动面临紧急预算缺口之际，他们敦促国防部长彼特·海格塞斯 (Pete Hegseth) 为此次任务正名。
“国民警卫队不是棋子，纳税人的钱也不是唐纳德·特朗普政治噱头的小金库，”沃伦在一份声明中表示。

里士满的消防车和巴士获准通行——但救护车除外
作者：SAMUEL B. PARKER 《里士满时报-调度报》
这是一种相对较新且正迅速普及的技术：交通信号优先 (TSP) 系统。该系统在应急车辆接近拥挤的交叉口时将红灯变为绿灯，或延长绿灯时间以允许巴士通过。
部分得益于联邦公路管理局的一项拨款，里士满的消防车和区域巴士将在明年春天前安装该系统。
但官员们表示，里士满的警车和救护车将不被纳入这一新计划——至少目前如此。
“由于可用资金以及城市推广这项新技术的方案，救护车和警车未被纳入初始阶段，”市发言人詹森·加武利克 (Jensen Gavulic) 在回答问题时表示。“然而，随着资源允许，该技术未来可扩展到更多的应急响应车辆。”
对于里士满救护车管理局 (RAA) 执政 20 年的首席执行官奇普·德克尔 (Chip Decker) 来说，这个决定并不太合理。该机构监管市内的应急首次响应行动，并近期根据市议会的指示恢复了对 911 电话的全面控制。

州长 韦斯·摩尔是一位民主党人， 他对他今年早些时候立法者拒绝 重新划分选区表示沮丧，他认为 鉴于共和党在其他地方的举动， 此举是紧迫的必要之举。他说，目前提交给立法者的提案 最终将由选民而非“政党头目” 决定。

“该系统可以提供信号优先权， 以帮助消防车清除通过交叉口的路径，” 加武利奇在谈到计划为消防车推广该系统时表示。 与此同时，巴士仅在“特定 条件”下获得优先权”， 加武利奇并未对此做进一步解释。

已经在法院挑战这些部署。
国会预算办公室（CBO）在 1 月估计，政府在华盛顿部署国民警卫队的费用至 2025. 年底为 23 亿美元 million。该办公室表示，在洛杉矶、孟菲斯、芝加哥和俄勒冈州波特兰的部署在 2025 年共额外花费了 23 亿美元 million。
CBO 估计，在华盛顿每增加一个月的部署将花费约 $55 million。
特朗普 2027 财年创纪录的 $1.5 trillion 国防预算请求中，包括 23 亿美元 billion 用于军队在国内使用的资金，其中 $605 million 用于华盛顿的国民警卫队任务。
在向国会提交的另一项 670 亿美元 billion 追加资金请求（以帮助覆盖伊朗战争的费用）中，特朗普政府还为国民警卫队请求了 $800 million。拨款委员会的最高民主党人、参议员帕蒂·默里（华盛顿州）在上个月与赫格塞斯的听证会上表示，这些资金将用于延长在华盛顿特区的部署。
国民警卫队将军布兰查德为该任务辩护，指出特朗普政府上个月签署了一份 $292 million 的合同，将国民警卫队成员安置在华盛顿及周边地区的当地公寓中。

选区重划在全国范围内产生反响
马里兰州的特别会议是全国选区重划之战新阶段的一部分。这场战争始于一年前，当时唐纳德·特朗普总统敦促共和党领导的州重新划分国会选区，以帮助该党在期中选举中维持其在众议院的微弱多数席位。共和党人认为，通过在德克萨斯州、密苏里州、北卡罗来纳州、俄亥俄州、佛罗里达州、田纳西州、路易斯安那州和阿拉巴马州这 8 个州实施的新众议院选区图，他们可能额外赢得多达 16 个席位。民主党人的反击面临多次挫折，他们认为通过加利福尼亚州和犹他州的新选区，他们可能额外赢得最多 6 个席位。

在交通高峰时段以及拥堵路段期间提供服务。同样，由于信号灯会优先处理载有数十名乘客的巴士，而非通常仅有一名乘客的私家车，这将提高公共交通效率。
官员们表示，这样也更安全。每年都有美国人在紧急车辆闯红灯时受伤或死亡。信号灯的变更预计将减少死亡人数。
该市的方案中包括 Econolite 的“智能交通传感器”和“先进检测系统”，在某些情况下，可以追踪通过十字路口的车辆、骑行者和行人数。

从华盛顿及其周边地区的酒店搬出。 布兰查德表示，此举将在合同期间节省 $90 million 的住宿和交通费用。
他还表示，服役人员已响应约 800 起医疗紧急情况——为枪击受害者进行心肺复苏 (CPR) 和使用止血带，并接种了 325 剂用于治疗药物过量的纳洛酮 (Narcan)。
虽然特朗普政府官员一再坚称，为了应对市内的犯罪紧急情况，国民警卫队的部署是必要的，但华盛顿警方的资料显示，今年的暴力犯罪率与 2025. 年同期相比基本持平。联邦数据显示，去年部署国民警卫队时，犯罪率处于近六年来的低点。包括车辆盗窃在内的财产犯罪下降了约四分之一。
美国公民自由联盟 (ACLU) 华盛顿分会高级职员律师迈克尔·珀洛夫 (Michael Perloff) 表示，在华盛顿的国民警卫队人员在进行逮捕等执法活动时，应当服从当地警察。但他指出，他们的指令留下了灰色地带，包括人员在紧急情况或受到威胁时应如何应对。
珀洛夫表示，这些人员并未接受过处理此类情况的培训，而他的组织目前正在法庭上挑战该任务的合法性。
在华盛顿部署的服役人员被指派了各种任务，例如在林肯纪念堂前的反思池前站岗，以及清理城市街道上的垃圾。
去年 11 月，两名国民警卫队人员在距离白宫几个街区的地方巡逻时遭到枪击，其中一人因伤势过重死亡。
被指控参与此次枪击的阿富汗公民拉赫曼-乌拉·拉坎沃尔 (Rahmanullah Lakanwal) 在 6 月份否认指控。如果被定罪，他可能面临死刑。
马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔 (Wes Moore, D) 在 4 月 9 日于纽约举行的一场政治大会上发表讲话。
为了在 2028 年选举前重新划分国会选区，纽约州由民主党主导的立法机构已批准了一项拟议的宪法修正案。该修正案旨在授权在十年中期重新划分选区，废除对党派操纵选区的禁止规定，并使立法者在未来更容易绕过独立重新划分选区委员会。该措施在明年出现在全州选票上之前，还需要经过另一轮立法批准。
“这只是安全了很多”
德克尔认为新的交通信号优先系统 (TSP) 具有许多优势，并希望里士满救护车协会 (RAA) 的救护车最终能被纳入该计划。
德克尔表示，切斯特菲尔德县和亨里科县都配备了 20 世纪 90 年代的旧款红外发射器，可以改变交通灯，而里士蒙的救护车目前无法与交通信号灯通信，也无法获得任何形式的路线优势。
他说：“我们周围几乎每个人都有这个设备。这确实安全了很多。”
目前，里士蒙的救护车将继续使用较低端的方案，例如驾驶员能B体感到的轰鸣警笛，以及利用 Waze 等导航应用通知附近驾驶员有应急车辆的数字警报系统。
德克尔说，这些方案仍然让 RAA 处于劣势。
里士满救护车协会 (RAA) 首席执行官奇普·德克尔 (Chip Decker) 解释道：“如果我们在响应（紧急情况）且红灯亮起，我们就必须停下来。我们要关掉所有应急灯，等待绿灯，因为你不想把人们推入交叉路口……或者引起恐慌。”
德克尔表示，由于里士蒙的城市密度高且红绿灯多，频繁的减速和停车导致全市救护车的平均行驶速度仅为 23 mph。在面对心脏病发作、脑出血、哮喘发作或任何其他医疗紧急情况时，这些都是在损失宝贵的秒数。
当被问及是否认为 TSP 的推广是一个“生死攸关的问题”时，德克尔回答道：“我认为是的。”
他说：“它有助于缩短响应时间，能有效应对危急事件，而且绝对有助于公众和提供者的安全。如果除了你以外所有人都面对红灯，你就不用担心横向交通了。”
RAA 刚刚在与里士蒙市长丹尼·阿武拉 (Danny Avula) 政府关于哪个机构应接听 911 电话的激烈争论中获胜。
在 7 月 27 日之前，这些电话由市政厅的应急通信、准备与响应部 (DECPR) 处理，如果需要救护车，该部门随后将其转发给 RAA。
在 RAA 与 Avula 政府在市议会会议上就哪个机构更适合管理该流程发生争执后，市议会支持了 RAA —— 并命令将接听电话的全部责任移交给 RAA。
但 Avula 政府在执行此项操作时错过了强制性截止日期数周之久，并称高级官员休假是未遵守法律的原因。这引发了一些议员的更多焦虑。
Decker 似乎不认为关于 911 电话的激烈辩论与 RAA 被排除在 TSP 启动之外有任何关系。事实上，他说他在 DECPR 内部有一位“支持者”，正与他共同探讨扩大该技术应用的可能。
“我肯定会继续推进，”Decker 说道。

首位赢得众议院席位的德克萨斯州共和党女性
众议院拨款委员会主席凯·格兰杰（Kay Granger，共和党-德克萨斯州）在 2023 年 6 月的一次关于 2024 财年支出法案的听证会上。
作者：ANUSHA MATHUR
凯·格兰杰，一位具有开拓精神的德克萨斯州共和党人，她曾担任沃斯堡（Fort Worth）首位女性市长，随后在国会度过了 14 个任期，并最终成为其政党中首位领导强大的众议院拨款委员会的女性，现已去世。她享年 83 岁。
议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）和众议院共和党会议于周日在社交媒体上宣布了她的去世。目前尚无进一步详情。格兰杰女士的家人曾在 2024 年 12 月宣布她患有认知障碍，与此同时有人指称她的工作人员试图掩盖她的认知能力下降。
格兰杰女士曾是一名教师和小企业主，在 1996 年当选进入国会之前，她担任了四年的沃斯堡市长。在 2019 年成为拨款委员会主席后，她在联邦支出方面拥有巨大的影响力，并帮助将资金引导至总部位于沃斯堡的国防公司，如洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）和直升机制造商贝尔文本公司（Bell Textron）。
格兰杰女士没有寻求连任，并在 2025 年 1 月以近 82 岁的高龄离开国会山。就在她的任期结束前，德克萨斯州的保守派媒体《达拉斯快报》（Dallas Express）报道称，她在近五个月内没有在国会投过一次票。报道称，她的办公室继续发布新闻稿并在社交媒体上发帖，但该刊物的记者无法联系到格兰杰女士的助手，且她的德克萨斯州办公室似乎已经关闭。
在该文章发表两天后，格兰杰女士的儿子约翰·迪安·格兰杰（John Dean Granger）确认他的母亲在“年底出现了一些认知障碍问题”，并居住在沃斯堡的一家老年人设施中，但并非在记忆护理区。她的缺席引发了人们对国会文化的讨论，这种文化似乎不愿更换资深领导层，其中一些资深立法者已 80 多岁或更高龄。
“凯·格兰杰的长期缺席揭示了国会存在的问题，即国会对资历和关系的奖赏超过了对能力和想法的奖赏，”众议员罗·康纳（Ro Khanna，民主党-加利福尼亚州）表示，“我们处于一个僵化的老人政治中。”
德克萨斯州共和党主席亚伯拉罕·乔治（Abraham George）表示，格兰杰女士“本应该退职并让特别选举发生”。
格兰杰女士的支持者指出，在她病情公开之前，她已经宣布退休。其他高知名度的立法者，如参议员米奇·麦康奈尔（Mitch McConnell，共和党-肯塔基州）、众议员南希·佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi，民主党-加利福尼亚州）和参议员迪安妮·费恩斯坦（Dianne Feinstein，民主党-加利福尼亚州），也曾因在 80 多岁时仍把持领导职务而面临审查。（2025 年 1 月，国会有 121 名成员年龄在 70 岁以上，约占 22%。）
人们对前总统乔·拜登的年龄和精神敏锐度的担忧——由于其在电视辩论中表现不佳而进一步放大——促使他决定退出 2024 年总统竞选。
“我们曾有其他成员中风或患有严重疾病而缺席一段时间，”美国企业研究所（American Enterprise Institute）名誉学者诺曼·奥恩斯坦（Norman Ornstein）说。“不同之处在于，对于他们所有人来说，这都是公开的。没有一种掩盖行为。”
格兰杰女士是沃斯堡首位女性市长，在国会度过了 28 年。
“聚焦在我身上”
格兰杰女士于 1943 年 1 月 18 日出生在德克萨斯州的格林维尔（Greenville），原名诺维尔·凯·穆伦多尔（Norvell Kay Mullendore）。她表示，她被母亲在教育领域作为教师、顾问和校长的职业路径所吸引，同时也受到父亲在沃斯堡一家服装制造商担任销售员工作的影响。
她在 1965 年从德克萨斯卫斯理学院（Texas Wesleyan College，后为大学）获得学士学位毕业后，开始从事高中英语和新闻教学工作。她在教育领域工作了近十年，随后因对薪资感到沮丧而转职到人寿保险行业。
并且在打击犯罪上采取强硬立场， 并且努力建设
“如果你减税，并且在打击犯罪上采取强硬立场，并且努力建设经济，我永远无法理解这其中有什么自由派的地方，”格兰杰女士说道。“是因为我喜欢孩子并且相信教育吗？”
无法理解这其中 有什么自由派的地方。
孩子并相信
凯·格兰杰（Kay Granger），关于共和党人认为她过于温和的看法
1978年，在结婚14年后，格兰杰女士与丈夫约翰·格兰杰三世（John Granger III）分居。她成为了三个年幼孩子的单亲家长。
“你只能努力在每一天中生存下去，”她在1986年的一次演讲中说道。
目前无法立即获得幸存者的相关信息。
格兰杰女士在德克萨斯州阿灵顿市开设了自己的保险公司，并通过在20世纪70年代末成功组织一个公民团体阻止废弃物处理厂的建设而进入地方政治。这使她被任命为沃斯堡（Fort Worth）分区委员会成员，并在那里任职八年。1989年，她当选为沃斯堡市议会议员。
两年后，她成为该市首位女性市长。当时，由于冷战结束导致国防支出发生转变，该市正处于财务危机的边缘。
namics —— 该市最大的雇主之一 —— 下令大规模裁员，而该地区的另一个经济引擎卡斯威尔空军基地（Carswell Air Force Base）即将关闭。
格兰杰女士塑造了实用主义中间派的声誉。她游说将卡斯威尔基地转变为沃斯堡海军航空站联合预备役基地，为该市带来了就业机会。她倡导“蓝色代码”（Code Blue），这是一项耗资$3.17百万美元的反犯罪计划，旨在培训新警察，并通过志愿者巡逻队和居民提出的反犯罪方案动员公民参与。该计划广受欢迎。
“如果你是沃斯堡的首位女性市长，你会非常认真地对待这份工作，”格兰杰女士在1997年告诉《达拉斯早报》。 “那时我处于聚光灯下 —— 不是因为我是凯·格兰格，而是因为我处于那个位置的女性。”
1996年，她竞选一个国会空缺席位，该选区是覆盖达拉斯-沃斯堡地区部分区域的长期民主党大本营。尽管格兰杰女士在美国市长会议（U.S. Conference of Mayors）中身份为共和党人，但沃斯堡市长的职位是非党派的。
民主党和共和党都试图争取她作为各自的候选人参选。她决定以共和党人身份参选，并在初选中击退了指责她过于温和的保守派批评者。
她以近58%的得票率轻松获胜，结束了民主党对该选区长达一个世纪的掌控。她是首位在众议院代表德克萨斯州选区的共和党女性。（民主党人莱拉·托马斯（Lera Thomas）是首位进入众议院的德克萨斯州女性，于1966年当选。共和党人凯·贝利·哈奇森（Kay Bailey Hutchison）是首位代表德克萨斯州进入参议院的女性，在1993年的特别选举中当选。）
从2011年到2017年，作为拨款委员会负责州和对外行动小组委员会的主席，格兰杰女士为国务院和对外援助分配资金。虽然对外援助支出在共和党内部经常遭遇阻力，但格兰杰女士争取到了共和党人的支持。
2016年，她主导了一项为以色列提供$380 亿军事援助的方案，并成功地推动其在国会通过。该方案包括33架在格兰杰女士选区制造的洛克希德马丁 F-35 战斗机。
她与人道主义援助人士建立了关系，包括U2乐队的爱尔兰歌手博诺（Bono），博诺创立了旨在打击非洲艾滋病和极端贫困的倡议组织 ONE。2012年，他们一起前往加纳为一所由博诺组织支持的新学校参加开学典礼。
后来，作为首位掌管拨款委员会的共和党女性，格兰杰女士主张增加军费支出并确保新的国防合同，特别是飞机生产。
洛克希德马丁公司获得了一份价值$340 亿的五角大楼合同，用于生产478架 F-35 战斗机。航空航天和航空业在德克萨斯州直接雇佣了超过148,000名工人。
在格兰杰女士为选区争取资金的利益与表现出忠于财政紧缩原则之间，有时存在紧张关系。
2022年，她因投票反对拜登政府的《削减通胀法案》，却又赞扬一项 $403 million 的沃思堡河滨及防洪工程投资（该投资正是作为该支出计划的一部分而分配的），而被政治对手和当地活动人士指责为伪善。
“我并不反对这个项目。我反对的是该法案的其他部分，”格兰杰女士在 2022 年面对记者的追问时告诉《沃思堡星电报》。
在她的任期结束时，格兰杰女士发现自己日益被夹在她的中间派根源与她所在选区日益崛起的硬右翼使美国再次伟大 (MAGA) 运动之间。她曾支持堕胎权，并严厉批评唐纳德·特朗普——在“Access Hollywood”录音带泄露及其关于抓取女性生殖器的粗俗言论后，她甚至呼吁特朗普退出 2016 年总统竞选。
但在 2020年，面对来自技术高管克里斯·普特南这一由 MAGA 支持的初选挑战时，她转变了立场。她获得了特朗普的认可，采取了坚定的反堕胎立场，并赢得了连任。在接下来的国会任期中，格兰杰女士一直遵循共和党党团的路线。

她曾就读于拉德克利夫学院，随后返回家中照顾病中的父亲。她在 1956 年于西北大学完成了数学学位，展现了独立、坚韧和强大的意志力，这些特质贯穿了她的整个生命。
在西北大学期间，温弗雷德遇到了詹姆斯·德斯蒙德·安德森 (James Desmond Anderson)，两人同为埃文斯顿镇高中和西北大学的毕业生。他们的婚姻延续了 65 年以上，成为一个充满家庭温情与奉献精神的生活基石。他们共同抚养了三个儿子——沃尔特 (Walter)、马克 (Mark) 和 肯特 (Kent) ——并建立了一个充满好奇心、学习、欢笑且致力于帮助他人的家庭。随着他们追随吉姆 (Jim) 的传教使命，他们的共同生活足迹从威斯康星州延伸到佛罗里达州，最终抵达北弗吉尼亚州，在此过程中结下了深厚的友谊并影响了无数人的生活。

丹尼斯·迈克尔·尼尔 (DENIS MICHAEL NEILL) 1929 年 6 月 25 日 - 2026 年 7 月 22 日 丹尼斯·迈克尔·尼尔于 2026 年 7 月 20 日在马里兰州贝塞斯达的家中平安离世。他享年 83 岁。他的遗属包括结婚 60 年的妻子玛丽·凯瑟琳（戈尔登）·尼尔 (Mary Kathleen (Golden) Neill)，以及他们的两个孩子和五个孙女。
尼尔先生出生于密歇根州大急流城，父母是托马斯·P. 尼尔 (Thomas P. Neill) 和艾格尼丝·韦伯·尼尔 (Agnes Weber Neill)。不久后，他的家人搬到了密苏里州圣路易斯，他在那里作为九个孩子中的第二个长大。丹尼斯是一个自豪的“三重比利肯”(Triple Billiken)。他于 1960 年毕业于圣路易斯大学高中，1964 年毕业于圣路易斯大学，1967 年毕业于圣路易斯大学法学院。
法学院毕业后，丹尼斯搬到了纽约地区，曾在新泽西州纽瓦克的美国国税局 (Internal Revenue Service) 短暂工作。随后他搬到华盛顿特区，在美国海岸警卫队担任中尉和律师，服务三年。在从事私人执业后，他加入了美国国际开发署 (USAID) 的总法律顾问办公室。他随后担任立法与政策协调助理总法律顾问，之后被杰拉尔德·福特总统任命为立法事务助理署长。在 USAID 任职期间，他获得了优秀单位奖章 (Superior Unit Citation) 和卓越荣誉奖 (Distinguished Honor Award)。

温妮弗雷德 (Winifred) 在 马德拉学校 (The Madeira School) 教授数学，由此开始了她的职业生涯。在获得华盛顿大学 (George Washington University) 早期儿童教育硕士学位后，她在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚市创立了复活节幼儿园 (Resurrection Preschool)。在那里，她发现了将成为她终身使命的事业：确保残障儿童获得应有的教育机会，同时使家长能够成为其子女需求的有效倡导者。
这一使命促使她建立了家长教育倡导培训中心 (Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center, PEATC)，并担任创始执行主任。通过 PEATC，温妮弗雷德通过培训数千名家长、教育工作者和专业人员，使其能够代表残障儿童在教育系统中寻求支持，从而帮助改变了特殊教育倡导的局面。她的影响力远超弗吉尼亚州，她在全美国开展了倡导培训项目，并撰写了几本关于教育倡导的著作，这些著作被翻译成韩语、波斯语、法语和西班牙语。
温妮弗雷德的遗属包括她的儿子：沃尔特·安德森 (Walter Anderson)、马克·安德森 (Mark Anderson) 和 肯特·安德森 (Kent Anderson)；他们的配偶及伴侣；她的孙辈和曾孙辈；以及广泛的亲属和朋友圈。在她之前去世的有她挚爱的丈夫詹姆斯·“吉姆”·安德森 (James “Jim” Anderson)；她的姐妹玛乔里·古斯里·摩根 (Marjorie Guthrie Morgan) 和 吉恩·威克斯 (Gene Weeks)；以及她的儿媳凯茜·安德森 (Cathy Anderson)。
她的精神遗产不仅留在她珍爱的家庭中，也留在无数孩子的教育前程中——因为有一位坚定的教育工作者相信，父母可以成为孩子最强有力的倡导者。
温妮弗雷德的生命庆祝仪式将于 2026年9月22日，星期二上午 11 点在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚市皮特街 228 号 (228 Pitt Street) 的圣保罗圣公会教堂 (St. Paul’s Episcopal Church) 举行。

在她的职业生涯大部分时间里，雪莉在自己的律师事务所 Keisler & Lee 执业，或作为 Grenadier Starace Duffett & Keisler、Offit Kurman LLP 的首席合伙人，以及 Family Law & Mediation Center PLC 的法律顾问。

2026年8月5日，星期三 上午 11:45

所有位于马里兰州蒙哥马利县的绝对所有权土地及其改良设施，并在上述信托契据中有更详尽的描述。该财产上建有一栋住宅。
根据现有信息和相信，该财产是一栋 3 层加地下室的建筑，最初建于 1960 年，位于 RA-1 分区，占地面积约 0.26 英亩。据信该财产拥有十六 (16) 个停车位。
注：本文包含的信息获取自被认为可靠的渠道，并被认为基本准确，但未经拍卖人、替代受托人或担保方的独立验证，仅供参考。拍卖人、替代受托人和担保方不对本文包含的信息或提供给潜在购买者的任何信息和资料的准确性做出任何陈述或保证，不得推断出任何明示或暗示的保证或陈述，包括但不限于关于财产用途的保证。本文包含的平方英尺数仅为近似值。鼓励潜在购买者在拍卖前就财产的准许用途进行自己的尽职调查。
销售条款：购买者在销售的时间和地点需提供 $100,000 的押金，形式为银行本票或替代受托人认可的其他形式。押金必须在销售后两 (2) 个工作日内增加至购买价格的百分之十 (10%)，并以与初始押金相同的方式交付给替代受托人办公室。押金应存入替代受托人的信托账户，不计利息。替代受托人将要求所有潜在竞标人在竞拍开始前出示其押金，作为销售条件。如果担保方参与竞拍，其有权进行债务抵价投标，且拍卖人有权代表担保方竞拍。担保方无需缴纳押金。购买价格的余额及其利息

该财产的出售还受限于所有未因法律运作而随销售而消灭的抵押权，以及所有影响该财产且未被销售消灭的记录在案的役权、公平役权、条件、通行权、限制、赎回权、约定、声明和限制。此外，该财产的出售还受限于该财产上可能存在的各种妨碍事项、违反住房法规的行为、违反建筑法规的行为、违反分区法规的行为、违反关键区域和湿地法规的行为，以及无论是潜在的还是可见的环境问题、状况和危险。此外，该财产的出售还受限于准确的测量或对财产的实地检查可能揭示的事实状态。
该财产将按“原状”且在“现有状态”下出售，且对其性质、状况、价值、用途或描述不提供任何明示或暗示的追索、陈述或保证。在替代受托人将财产转让给购买者后，该财产的购买者应负责获得财产的实际占有。购买者应在销售后立即承担该财产的损失风险。尽管如此，该财产曾遭受火灾和水灾损害；因财产意外或损害（包括但不限于火灾和水灾损害）而产生或与之相关的保险赔偿金、索赔或保险金权利，均属于信托契据受益人——担保方的唯一且排他性财产，并明确排除在销售之外。购买者对此类保险赔偿金不享有任何权利、所有权、权益或主张，且购买者的出价应反映该财产的当前状况，而不考虑此类保险赔偿金。
如果替代受托人（Substitute Trustee）无法将该财产的所有权转让给购买者，则购买者在法律或衡平法上的唯一救济手段仅限于退还该财产的定金，且不计利息。定金退还后，该财产的销售即告无效且不产生任何影响，购买者不得再向替代受托人、担保方或拍卖师提出任何进一步主张。替代受托人在结算时将财产转让给购买者的方式应为受托人契据（Trustee’s Deed），不含任何明示或暗示的约定、保证或陈述。

如果该物业是由票据持有人或其关联机构以外的人士购买，则从出售之日起至代理受托人办公室收到资金之日止，未付购买金应按票据或判决（以较高者为准）的利率支付利息。如果因任何原因导致结算延迟，且该物业是由票据持有人或其关联机构以外的人士购买，则延迟引起的利息不得减免。不动产税、水费和污水费应分摊至出售之日，此后由购买者承担。在出售之前或之后产生的与该物业相关的所有其他费用，包括但不限于税金、地租、公寓费和 / 或业主协会会费，以及所有按年缴纳的其他公共收费和评估费用（包括卫生和 / 或大都市区收费，只要其留置权未通过止赎解除），以及所有印花税、登记税和转让税，均由购买者承担。
该物业将按“现状”出售，且不提供任何追索权、陈述或保证（无论是明示还是暗示），不涉及其性质、状况或描述。拍卖人、替代受托人、担保方、票据持有人或任何其他方均不对该物业的物理状况、描述或所有权做出任何形式或性质的保证或陈述。抵押赎回权拍卖的买方应在销售后立即承担该物业的损失风险。
该物业将按“现状”出售，并受影响该物业的记录在案的条件、限制、地役权、抵押权和协议（如有）的约束，且不提供任何形式的保证。
买方应对任何可能存在于该物业、影响该物业或与该物业相关的环境问题或状况（无论是潜在的还是可观察到的，如有）以及影响该等事项的任何政府要求负责，且物业的出售以该等事项为前提。
替代受托人（作为卖方）与买方之间的销售合同（简称“销售合同”）应通过引用包含此处的所有条款和条件，特别是包括但不限于以下条款：“买方同意并陈述，买方在‘现状，原址’条件下购买该物业，且受所有已知和未知事项的约束。在签署并交付销售合同时，买方没有依赖且未被任何人士的任何陈述或表示所诱导，包括拍卖人、替代受权人、担保方、票据持有人或其关联方及其各自的服务商、继承人、个人和法律代表、代理人、员工、继任者和受让方（统称为‘被免责方’）关于物业状况（包括物业的环境状况）的陈述，除非此类陈述或表示被明确列入销售合同中。买方没有依赖抵押赎回权广告中的任何内容，而仅依赖于买方对该物业所进行的调查、审查或检查。买方放弃并免除被免责方在目前或未来可能与物业状况相关的任何及所有索赔。买方承认并同意，本条款是销售合同经协商的一部分，且是该合同对价的重要组成部分。各方明确承认并同意，本条款禁止买方根据修订后的 1980, 年《综合环境响应、补偿和责任法》以及根据联邦、州或地方法律、条例或法规就物业的任何环境状况或泄漏向被免责方提出所有索赔。此外，买方同意，若替代受托人因物业环境状况而对任何第三方承担任何责任，买方将为其提供补偿。尽管各方意图通过本条款禁止所有此类索赔，但若具有管辖权的法院认定结果并非如此，买方同意，在根据适用的联邦、州或地方法律、条例或法规对响应成本进行任何公平分摊时，本条款的存在应作为压倒性的主要考量因素。”
作为任何销售的一部分，替代受托人作为宾夕法尼亚第一国家银行（“FNB”）的代理人，依法要求确认每位潜在购买者或再融资来源以及每个此类实体的每个权益持有者不属于或不得为：(i) 根据任何反恐怖主义法（定义见下文）或反洗钱法规，FNB 被限制与其进行业务往来的人员；(ii) 从事任何涉及向此类人员提供或为其利益提供资金、货物或服务捐赠，或从事任何规避、回避或旨在规避、回避任何反恐怖主义法或任何反洗钱法规中设定之禁令的交易之业务；或 (iii) 以其他方式违反任何反恐怖主义法或反洗钱法规。在本文件目的中，“反恐怖主义法”指任何与恐怖主义或洗钱相关的法律，包括 2001 年 9 月 24 日生效的第 13224 号行政命令、《2001 年通过提供拦截和阻挠恐怖主义所需适当工具以统一和加强美国法》（公法 107-56）、构成或实施《银行保密法》的法律、《海外反腐败法》（由美国司法部和证券交易委员会共同执行），以及由美国财政部海外资产控制办公室管理的法律（上述任何命令或法律可能不时被修订、更新、延长或替换）。任何进行此类销售的第三方均应要求在此类确认方面与替代受托人和 FNB 全面配合。购买者应要求在此类确认方面与替代受托人和 FNB 全面配合，并提供其要求的任何信息。
注：本文包含的信息获取自被认为可靠的来源，但仅供参考。拍卖人、替代受托人、票据持有者和担保方不对本文包含信息的准确性做出任何陈述或保证。敦促潜在购买者自行进行检查。

若购买方未能按照本协议要求进入结算并支付全部购买价格，或未能交付本协议所述的全部定金，除受托人（Trustees）和票据持有人（Noteholder）可采取的其他任何法律或公平救济措施外，受托人可宣布上述定金由购买方没收，并由购买方自行承担风险和费用重新出售该财产。在这种情况下，违约购买方应负责支付受托人和 / 或票据持有人在购买价格中所遭受的任何差额、两次销售的所有成本和费用、律师费，以及受托人和 / 或票据持有人遭受的任何其他损害，包括但不限于所有附带损害。若财产的重新出售导致成交价格高于违约购买方的原始出价金额，违约购买方放弃对该超出金额的所有索赔、权利和利益，且无权从重新出售的收益中获得任何分配，或要求退还任何部分被没收的定金。

该物业将以“现状”条件出售，并受影响该物业的记录在案的条件、限制、地役权、抵押权和协议（如有）的约束，且不提供任何形式的保证。
销售条款：在销售时，以银行汇票或认证支票形式，或代位受托人根据其唯一裁量权决定的其他形式，支付 $54,000 的定金。如果票据持有人和 / 或服务商为成功竞标者，则免除定金要求。购房余款应在马里兰州蒙哥马利县巡回法院最终批准销售后的十 (10) 天内支付。如果物业由票据持有人和 / 或服务商以外的实体购买，则未付购房款自销售之日起至代位受托人办公室收到资金之日止，按年利率 5% 支付利息。如果未在批准后十 (10) 天内支付余款，定金将作为约定损害赔偿金被没收。购买者同意该物业可根据法院命令再次出售，并放弃对其本人和 / 或任何主体或公司指定人就未能于批准后十 (10) 天内支付购房款而提交之文件的亲自送达，并明确同意通过一类邮件将上述文件送达至购买者在销售备忘录中提供的地址。本交易可能受根据《银行保密法》发布的、自 2026年3月1日起生效的 FinCEN 住宅房地产报告规则（“RRE 规则”）的约束。购买者将负责获取遵守 RRE 规则所需的信息，并在销售批准后的 (10) 十天内向 RRE 规则中定义的报告人提供必要信息，否则购买者的定金将被没收且物业将被再次出售。购买者将无权获得由以下产生的任何盈余或利润：
即便转售是由于购买者所做的改进而产生的。如果结算因任何原因而延迟，购买者无需扣减应付利息。税款、水费以及所有其他按年度缴纳的公共费用和评估费（包括卫生和 / 或大都市区费用），将根据当前年度调整至销售之日，此后由购买者承担。共管公寓费和 / 或业主协会会费（如有）应由购买者自销售之日起承担。购买者应负责支付土地租金托管款（如果需要）。所有印花税、转让税（包括适用的农业转让税）以及所有结算费用均由购买者承担。本次销售取决于对贷款的售后审计，包括但不限于分析
借款人在销售前是否签署了贷款修改协议、申请破产、恢复或偿还了贷款。替代受托人将转让可保险的或可销售的产权。如果替代受托人无法转让可保险或可销售的产权，或者售后审计结论认为不应进行销售，或者销售因任何原因未获得法院批准，则购买者在法律或公平法上的唯一救济将仅限于退还定金且不计利息，即便购买者已对该物业进行了改进。定金退还后，销售失效且无效，购买者不得再向替代受托人提出任何要求。购买者应负责获取该物业的实际占有权。在止赎销售中的购买者在销售后应立即承担该物业的损失风险。（案件号 #19-603019）。

Trump touts talks; Iran denies negotiation
in limbo as sides contradict one another
BY KAREN DEYOUNG
The status of the Iran war remained in limbo Monday, as President Donald Trump insist- ed that talks between Tehran and Washington were “going on right now” while Iran’s Foreign Minis- try spokesman said, “We are not currently holding negotiations with the United States.” Trump, who in a social media post earlier in the day called Ira- nian leaders “unbelievably du- plicitous,” told reporters in the Oval Offi ce that “we’re straight about” talks between the two countries, though “they deny. But they’re not denying it now. They just put out a statement, not denying it.” Asked where that statement could be found, a White House spokesperson referred The Washington Post back to the president’s remarks. Trump said Iran, along with other regional states, had “begged” for talks, leading him to call off what he had described as an imminent U.S. attack that would have been “harder than any attack ... since World War II.” “We were going to hit them very hard yesterday, very, very hard,” Trump said. But “I want to give them every last chance be- fore decapitation. It’s very tough to do what we have planned, still planned,” he said. “I’m very proud of the fact that I will give people a chance.”

Laura Loomer, the controver- sial but infl uential pro-Trump blogger, arrived in Kyiv on July 19, with only a few meetings lined up and, in her telling, no agenda other than seeing the war-torn country for herself. Ten days later, she returned to Flori- da as one of MAGA’s most promi- nent advocates for Ukraine. Along the way, a person who not long ago was a sharp crit- ic of Kyiv made international headlines as she interviewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a frontline com- mander and tried to persuade special envoy Steve Witkoff to make his fi rst trip to Kyiv. She challenged her MAGA compatri- ots to reexamine the confl ict and America’s role in the world. “I feel like I’ve changed global policy,” Loomer said in a phone interview. Loomer said she expects to visit the White House this month to discuss her trip, among other subjects, with President Donald

primary has put party’s divisions out in the open
BY ERIN COX
pontiac, mich. — Michael Sut- ton, 18, is new to politics, but he says he’s convinced it’s broken. Sutton walked this work- ing-class neighborhood of bun- galows near Detroit last week armed with literature, trying to sell his elders on Abdul El-Sayed, the surging progressive in Mich- igan’s intensely competitive Sen- ate race. Sutton, a young canvasser try- ing to build up the coalition of progressive Black voters, said he believes a candidate like El-

Sayed will disrupt politics for the better. He asked Barbara Lawton, 51, as she pulled into her driveway, “Do you know who you’re voting for in the Senate race?” Lawton glanced at the fl ier. “Not that dude,” she replied. She later said her gut told her political disruptions usually make things worse. Michigan’s bruising Senate primary has laid bare the Dem- ocratic Party’s divisions, and it could chart a course to what it might become in a post-Presi- dent Donald Trump world. Black voters like Lawton and Sutton will be crucial to defi ning that trajectory. In doing so, they will either hand progressives their biggest win of the election cycle or fortify a Democratic es- tablishment that has been on the defensive.

When they cast their ballots in Tuesday’s primary election, Michigan Democrats will choose between the liberal El-Sayed, who has caught fi re in recent polling, and Rep. Haley Stevens, a moderate three-term congress- woman with a record of fl ipping red districts. The winner will face Repub- lican Mike Rogers, the former congressman who narrowly lost his fi rst Senate bid two years ago. The Michigan race could be cru- cial to which party controls the Senate. El-Sayed, a former public health offi cial, has built a broad grassroots coalition and cam- paigned in communities that turned to Trump in the face of economic stress.

Polling by the Detroit News in early July showed Stevens with an edge among Black voters and older voters, while El-Sayed had support from younger and col- lege-educated voters, regardless of race.

jefferson, ga. — Marci Bake- ly couldn’t understand how her ex-boyfriend always seemed to know where she was. When she went to buy grocer- ies or on a date or to the doctor, he’d text her about it, sometimes within minutes, despite work- ing 15 miles from her home as a police chief in a small town in the Atlanta suburbs. One day in 2024, when he incorrectly sus- pected that she’d gone to see a man against his wishes, he mes- saged her, “I didn’t think you would slip up,” according to texts she shared with The Washington Post.

PAYOUT FUND
now support nomination

lawmak-
ers who had threatened to vote
against Todd Blanche’s nomina-
tion to become the next attorney
general said Monday they are
now prepared off er their support
after he formally killed a key as-
pect of President Donald Trump’s
controversial deal with the IRS.
In an order Blanche issued
late Sunday, the acting attorney
general said he was eliminating,
in writing, the administration’s
proposal for a $1.8 billion fund
for people who claimed they
were victims of political prose-
cutions. He also clarifi ed that a
separate aspect of Trump’s deal,
which off ered the president, his
sons and their companies protec-
tion from past tax claims, did not
rule out future IRS audits.
“We want to express our grati-
tude to Mr. Blanche and his staff
for working with us on this, and
we look forward to voting to
advance his nomination out of
the Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee soon,” Sens. John Cornyn of
Texas and Thom Tillis of North
Carolina said, adding, “From the
outset, we were clear that we
needed a written document ad-
dressing our concerns.”
Their statement appeared to
cleas the way for the Senate Ju-
diciary Committee to advance
Blanche’s nomination at a hear-
ing scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday.
The full Senate would still have
to vote, but the senators’ agree-
ment removes the biggest appar-
ent obstacle to Blanche’s confi r-
mation.
Trump, who in recent days
had reiterated his desire for a
payout fund to help his political
allies, on Monday played down
Blanche’s statement.
“I didn’t look at it,” the presi-
dent told reporters. “All I know
is that Todd Blanche is great.
He’s going to do a great job. Ev-
erybody knows it. And I under-
stand there’s been a sign-off , but

Two people have died in con- nection with the cyclospora out- break in Michigan, state health authorities announced Monday, the first deaths reported in the multistate outbreak.

leaders in a celebratory mood, but what’s next?
chicago — For leaders of the country’s dem- ocratic socialist movement, 2026 has been a year of successes beyond anything they had dared to hope. “I never thought this would be possible in my lifetime,” Ashik Siddique, co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, said in an interview during a three-day meeting over the weekend that drew 600 members here. “It definitely has been a shock to some of us to see the gains we are making, but it doesn’t come from nowhere.” So young is the organization’s dues-paying membership, Sid- dique said, that “I’m an elder in DSA terms. I’m in my 30s.” At the DSA gathering, billed as a summit, attendees were ad- dressed as “comrades.” Evidence of what brought them here were the “Abolish ICE” T-shirts on sale, along with buttons de- claring “Land Lords Suck” and posters with the 19th-century slogan “Labor is entitled to all it creates.” Manning one exhibit hall table was “Deer Leader” — the taxidermy head of a buck with a red DSA ball cap tucked between its antlers. But a serious and strategic question hung over the celebra- tory mood: What now? Since last year’s election of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York mayor, candidates formally endorsed by the DSA’s national governing body or supported by its local chapters have swept dozens of primaries, from city council contests to congressional races, in some cases defeating veteran Democratic incumbents. DSA membership has explod- ed, to nearly 120,000 nationally, more than double what it was when Donald Trump won a sec- ond term as president in 2024. A CNN poll released last week found that one-third of Demo-

be provided on the cases. Deaths from the illness caused by the microscopic para- site are uncommon in the Unit- ed States, and it is generally not life-threatening, according to Michigan’s health department.

Public health officials are in- vestigating an outbreak of cyc- lospora infections linked to ice- berg lettuce in nine states, and Taylor Farms has recalled ice- berg lettuce sourced from cen-
crats and Democratic-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists. Those numbers are the reason the Democratic Party establishment is so worried about what it sees as a political death wish. In a Washington Post-Ipsos survey conducted last month, 3 out of 4 Democrats said they would be open to sup- porting a democratic socialist for president — but fewer than half of all Americans felt that way. DSA members acknowledge that is a conundrum, and not only on the presidential level. Many of their platform’s long- term goals, such as abolishing the prison system, opening the borders, defunding the Pen- tagon and getting rid of the U.S. Senate, are far outside the mainstream. But they insist this should not deter them from putting for- ward democratic socialist candi- dates outside deep-blue enclaves like New York City. Among those contenders is Francesca Hong, who appears to be ahead in the messy Aug. 11 Democratic gubernatorial primary in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin. “It would be a disaster if a leftist won the primary and lost the general election, but it was a disaster in 2016 when a centrist won the primary and lost the general,” said Jeremy Cohan, a former co-chair of the DSA’s 15,000-member New York City chapter, referring to the hard-fought battle between Hillary Clinton, dynastic stan- dard bearer for the establish- ment, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), who elevated the democratic socialist brand to the national level. “We have to take these risks to win,” Cohan said. DSA members belong to largely autonomous chapters, and many also group them- selves into more than a dozen fractious caucuses. Looking forward, a central question is whether they should seek to jolt the Democratic Party to the left
tral Mexico. Federal officials are also investigating outbreaks and illness in 36 other states that are not related to this specific out- break. The shredded iceberg lettuce was served at Taco Bell restau- rants in nine states and was sourced to a single supplier in Mexico, Taylor Farms de Mexi- co. The fast-food chain has said that as of July 17, it completed removing all of the affected let- tuce from restaurants and its supply chain. At least 1,947 cas- es and 98 hospitalizations have
or make what they refer to as a “dirty break.” Cerena Ermitanio, a regis- tered nurse from the Houston chapter, is a member of the 27-person National Political Committee, which functions as the DSA’s board of directors. She also counts herself as part of its Marxist, labor-oriented Bread & Roses caucus. Ermitanio said a complete break from the Democratic Party “makes sense to me as a tactic,” because the DSA’s alternative is to relegate itself to being “a junior partner” in an establishment institution that does not speak to the concerns of working people. Taking the other side of the argument was Katie Sims, a member of the Ithaca, New York, chapter who chairs the DSA’s electoral operations and is part of the “reformist” Socialist Majority Caucus. (DSA members rankle at anyone who would describe them as centrist or moderate.) “We’re trying to win the Dem- ocratic voter base,” Sims said. “So it wouldn’t make sense to stop what’s working.”
DSA membership has ballooned to nearly 120,000 nationally.
been linked to this specific out- break. At least 6,707 people have been infected with the parasite in outbreaks across the country, according to the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention. Taylor Farms has said it has voluntarily recalled all iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico that was identified as the poten- tial source of one of the recent cyclospora outbreaks. Anything currently on shelves is not the affected product, the company said in a July 17 notice.
Another question is whether to continue to put its volun- teer-driven field operations toward electing candidates who agree with the DSA on central tenets, such as government-run health care, but don’t embrace the democratic socialist label. In Michigan’s crucial Demo- cratic Senate primary on Tues- day, for example, DSA activists and ground troops are informal- ly helping progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed, even though he insists he is not a socialist, “just a capitalist who understands how capitalism works.” But DSA chapters have been less lenient elsewhere. The Orlando chapter recently told a county commission candidate seeking its endorsement that he would have to put the words “democratic socialist” on his website to receive it, chapter member Cliff Connolly recalled. Ten minutes later, Connolly said, the top of that website declared the candidate “A Democratic Socialist fighting for working families.” To win the DSA’s high-pro- file national endorsement, officials said, a candidate must
The company also has said it has commissioned independent experts to conduct a top-to-bot- tom review of food safety pro- cesses and protocols in its cen- tral-Mexico facility, where as of July 18 the company said it has temporarily suspended produc- tion of all products. Cyclospora is generally trans- mitted when infected feces con- taminate food or water, and it’s unlikely to be transmitted per- son-to-person. It usually takes roughly a week before a person gets sick after they are infected,
meet a list of criteria: identify as a full-throated democratic socialist, not merely a progres- sive; be running where the DSA has a strong chapter and can assist with a robust organiza- tional infrastructure; decline to take money from the pro-Israel lobby; and support DSA posi- tions that include abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. The national board also puts candidates seeking its endorse- ment through a rigorous inter- view process, one that leaders said has become more so since Mamdani’s victory. One of the next things on the agenda is putting together the process to make a 2028 presidential endorsement, with a target of doing so as early as next March or April. The odds-on favorite for winning it, should she decide to run, is Rep. Alexandria Oca- sio-Cortez (D-New York). But any endorsement would be part of a longer-horizon strategy for the DSA, said Alex Pellitteri, chair of the DSA’s presidential exploratory committee. DSA leaders recognize an im- perative to expand the reach of their organization — and their movement — beyond the young, urban and college-educated who constitute a disproportionate share of it. They say a national presidential effort would help do that. “What attracts us to running a candidate is it would give us a platform to reach millions of people all across the country,” said Pellitteri, who got his start in politics as a high school student knocking on doors for Sanders in 2016. But they vow 2028 would be only the beginning of a long journey. “We see it as a means to help grow the socialist movement and the DSA,” he added. “Our goal is to have the transition from capitalism to socialism, and that will not be achieved in one campaign.”
though this period can range from two days to two weeks or more. The parasite typical- ly causes watery diarrhea with frequent bowel movements. The illness is treatable, and doctors can prescribe antibiotics to help. It’s difficult to trace the source of the parasite because of the lag before symptoms appear. The CDC is aware of more than 11,500 additional cases that ha- ven’t been confirmed by a lab and need more investigation, such as ruling out international travel.
7 ways college admissions season is changing this year
by Susan Svrluga
The Common App opened Saturday, launching the col- lege admissions season for high school seniors at a turbulent time for higher education. While many schools are deeply worried about filling their classes, the most elite institutions will ad- mit only a tiny percentage of the tens of thousands of students who apply. Highly selective schools rep- resent an insurance policy for parents, trusted brands that they believe will provide an edge, said Mitchell L. Stevens, a professor at Stanford University’s Grad- uate School of Education. “And the more economic uncertainty we face, the more valuable that insurance becomes.” The entire application process has been disrupted in recent years by the pandemic, shift- ing testing policies, a Supreme Court ruling on race-conscious admissions, artificial intelli- gence, federal investigations, and the long list goes on. Here are some changes to ad- missions to watch for this school year:
Some schools are dropping supplemental essays Top colleges are dropping the requirement that students write essays specific to their school. The Common App, which allows students to apply to more than 1,200 member schools, includes a personal essay. Cornell University, the Uni- versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Washington Uni- versity in St. Louis, Tulane Uni- versity, the Georgia Institute of Technology and others recently joined schools such as the Uni- versity of Virginia, which elim- inated its supplemental essay requirement last year. (Cornell still requires applicants to write essays about the specific school they’re hoping to attend but re- moved its university-wide essay.) There can be a few reasons to change the requirement. Los- ing an essay makes it easier on students and on admissions em- ployees. Reducing the hurdles required can boost the number of applicants. And because of widespread AI use, an essay is even less reliably an authentic reflection of the student’s voice than it had been. Some schools had already re- duced the number of essays and added short-answer questions that are less intimidating for students (such as, “What brings you joy?”). At Tulane, Shawn Abbott, vice president for enrollment man- agement and dean of admission, said it seemed unnecessary to ask students to jump through the hoop of writing an addition- al essay about why they were applying to Tulane. “The reality was, it wasn’t having much of an influence on admissions deci- sions,” he said, given the weight they put on many other academ- ic and personal factors, such as the transcript and letters of rec- ommendation. “It seemed silly to continue to ask the question.”
More top schools are requir- ing ACT or SAT scores Many schools stopped requir- ing students to submit college entrance exam scores in 2020, when the pandemic shut down in-person test centers. Even be- fore covid, some schools had stopped requiring tests out of concern that the scores re- flected societal inequities, with some students unable to afford test-prep classes or tutors and unaware of free resources such as the Khan Academy’s digital course. Most colleges remain test op- tional. But the ground is shift- ing. Dartmouth College was the first Ivy League school to require scores again, after researchers determined that the tests were a good predictor of success in college and were helpful in iden- tifying applicants who were the first in their family to go to col- lege, had less affluent parents or were from rural or urban areas. Now, many of the most selective schools — including all of the Ivy League — either require the scores or have said they will in future admissions cycles. With fears of grade inflation, colleges need more data points to determine whether students can succeed there, several ex- perts said. Heather Shows, director of college counseling for the Gover- nor’s Academy in Massachusetts, said she’ll be closely watching what the large, selective and in- fluential University of California
EROS HOAGLAND/GETTY IMAGES The University of North Carolina, seen in 2023, was deemed along with Harvard by the Supreme Court to have used unconstitutional race-conscious admission policies.

decides to do; it has declined to even look at standardized test scores in recent years at its cam- puses across the state but is re- viewing that policy. “Will there be a reinstatement of the test across the board? Will it be test optional? And then what’s the domino effect on other schools? I’m definitely keeping an eye on that.”
Acceptance rates may contin- ue to dip The number of students ap- plying to college continues to grow, and the number of appli- cations they submit keeps rising, as well. This past year through March, there were 2 percent more applicants submitting 5 percent more applications to returning members than last year, according to data from Common App — 1.4 million ap- plicants submitted 9.4 million applications. And more people are applying to the most selec- tive schools. At some places, the numbers are staggering. Nearly 55,000 students applied to Yale Univer- sity last year. Almost 68,000 stu- dents applied to Georgia Tech, a record. And more than 145,000 prospective freshmen applied to UCLA — the most of any school in the country. Common App makes it easier to apply to more schools. But
those rising applicant numbers drove down acceptance rates, with the most selective schools admitting just 5 percent or less of those who apply. The cycle is increasing pres- sure on students. “The levee’s going to break,” said Ashley L. Bennett, director of college counseling for the Emma Wil- lard School in New York, who worries about the stress on stu- dents during the process. Students used to apply to just a handful of schools, she said, but now many apply to as many as possible because they think, ”Okay, if I cast a wide net, I’ll catch at least one or two big fish.”
Early decision is important in selective admissions Many schools offer the option of applying by a fall deadline — often Nov. 1 — for students who are willing to commit to a single school before the more traditional January application deadline. That’s because schools need to know that they will have a complete class and, with stu- dents applying to more schools than ever and greater murkiness about whether applicants will commit, early rounds help lock in students who are eager to at- tend. The increased focus on ear-
ly decision is in part driven by yield — the percentage of accept- ed students who enroll. Yield is closely watched as a key indi- cator of consumer demand and creditworthiness. And a strong credit rating makes it easier and more affordable for schools to borrow money for big capital projects on campus. There are variations in early application rules and deadlines, with some schools even offering multiple early rounds. Binding early decision pro- grams disadvantage students who need to be able to compare financial aid offers to choose a school they can afford. But early rounds alleviate stress on those who know they will accept their first choice — and admission rates can be considerably higher than they are with regular deci- sion in the spring. “We encourage all our stu- dents to apply as early as possi- ble,” said James Orr, senior vice provost for student success at UNC. Bennett said at least half of the class at her school applies early, with some hoping for a slight advantage in admissions and some hoping to get an an- swer sooner. Every year, some tell her, “I want to have a nice senior year, I don’t want to be stressed all year about college.”
JOSH REYNOLDS/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST A Harvard graduate’s message of support for international students last year. Schools might see fewer applicants from abroad this year.
International students are a big unknown this year Some experts say recent pol- icy decisions could deter inter- national students from applying this year. A new rule will bar most foreign students and ex- change visitors from staying in the country for more than four years unless they are granted an extension from the federal gov- ernment. Delays in visa process- ing and stricter scrutiny of inter- national students could also add to uncertainty and change the applicant pool. “I think it will be very inter- esting to see what choices inter- national students make,” Shows said.
Continued fallout from the Supreme Court ruling ending race-conscious admissions In 2023, the Supreme Court upended college admissions with a ruling rejecting race- based affirmative action. Some colleges then sought other ways to keep their classes diverse, in- cluding adding essay questions about identity, recruiting more in certain areas and seeking stu- dents from lower-income fami- lies. But the Trump administration has demanded admissions data and launched investigations into whether schools are dis- criminating against White and Asian students by giving pref- erences to Black and Hispanic students. The administration objects to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and has insist- ed that schools cannot use prox- ies for race. Some experts predict that
pressure and scrutiny will inev- itably lead colleges to be more cautious about seeking a diverse class and more apt to rely on quantitative measures such as test scores and grades. “I feel badly for enrollment leaders who are having to in- teract too often with the gen- eral counsels of their institu- tions and much less with their admissions staff about institu- tional priorities and support- ing students in the application process,” said Emmi Harward, executive director of the Asso- ciation of College Counselors in Independent Schools, “because everything has become politi- cized, and no institution wants to be the next one threatened with legal action.”
And finally, some good news: It doesn’t have to be this hard While it’s easy to fixate on the dismal odds of getting into top schools, most colleges in the United States accept most ap- plicants — and some don’t even require applications, offering direct admission. An increasing number of schools and states promise admission to students based on their grades. Common App announced that it intends to expand its direct admissions program this year, as well. “The majority of institutions in America are not selective,” said Angel Pérez, chief execu- tive officer of the National As- sociation for College Admission Counseling. “They admit 70 per- cent or more. “It is actually not that hard to get into college.”
Leaders are also working to confi rm 74 of Trump’s nominees
BY JARRELL DILLARD AND THEODORIC MEYER
Senate Republicans are rac- ing to complete a lengthy to-do list before leaving town Friday, including approving a stopgap spending bill aimed at averting a government shutdown before the Nov. 3 elections. In addition to the stopgap budget bill, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (South Da- kota) is working to confi rm 74 of President Donald Trump’s nom- inees and faces pressure to ad- vance a $95 billion package that would provide fresh cash for the Iran war and infl ation-battered farmers. Whatever senators don’t ac- complish this week is likely to be pushed to September, when Con- gress is scheduled to be in Wash- ington only briefl y before hitting the campaign trail. The stopgap budget bill is up fi rst. Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Patty Murray (Wash- ington), the lead Democratic ap- propriator, worked jointly on the bill, which would extend govern- ment funding through Dec. 11. The measure diff ers in import- ant ways from a version of the bill passed by the House: It in- corporates White House requests to maintain funding for housing and nutrition programs through the fall, and it would extend an expiring authorization for veter- ans’ health care. Additionally, it would tempo- rarily block the White House Of- fi ce of Management and Budget from adopting a rule that would give political appointees sweep- ing powers to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in federal grants. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Connecti- cut), the lead Democrat on the House Appropriations Commit- tee, said in a statement Sunday that the Senate bill marks “a clear improvement” over the House bill, which she and most House Democrats opposed. If the Senate approves it, the House could take the measure up when lawmakers return at the end of August. Unless Con- gress acts, the government is set to run out of funds on Oct. 1. Senate Republicans are also facing a long list of presidential
They support curbing White House power over billions in grants
BY RILEY BEGGIN
Senate Republican leaders unveiled a spending bill Sunday that would temporarily block President Donald Trump from implementing a rule change that would give political ap- pointees sweeping power over hundreds of billions of dollars in federal grants. The provision was tucked into a bipartisan measure to fund the government through Dec. 11 that was negotiated by Sen- ate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Vice Chair Patty Murray (D-Washington) and reviewed by Senate GOP leaders. It marks another notable rebuke of the president by senators from his own party. In a statement, Collins said she is “pleased” the provision was included in the spend- ing agreement. She also said the White House rule change has the “potential to politicize grants and harm small, rural communities, families, and bio- medical research.” The rule change, released in May by the White House Offi ce of Management and Budget, would give political appointees more power over discretionary grant funding, diminishing a system created after World War II that calls on independent peer reviewers — experts in the fi eld — to determine whether scientifi c proposals are worthy of federal funding. It would require political ap- pointees to review grants before they’re awarded to ensure they advance the president’s priori- ties and do not support projects the administration opposes, in- cluding those that “fund, pro- mote, encourage, subsidize, or facilitate” diversity, equity and inclusion principles or “deny

nominees at an array of agen- cies, including the Departments of State, Energy, Treasury and Justice. The Senate could also confi rm Todd Blanche as attor- ney general if Trump can win the support of the two Republican senators who have blocked his confi rmation. Late Sunday, Blanche issued a written order formally rescind- ing the Trump administration’s proposal for a $1.8 billion fund for people who claim they were victims of political prosecutions — a step toward breaking the impasse. Blanche said the revision came as part of an agreement with Senate Judiciary members including Sens. John Cornyn (Texas) and Thom Tillis (North Carolina), who had threatened to vote against his nomination over concerns about the fund. The

the biological reality of … the sex binary.” It also would give agencies the power to end grants at any time, to further restrict collabo- ration with researchers in Chi- na, Russia and certain other for- eign countries and to add new requirements for foreign re- searchers working in the United States. The rule would not apply to disaster recovery grants or some grants awarded by Con- gress through law, including block grants. Trump administration of- fi cials say the rule would add needed oversight to federal grant-making, ensuring federal funds aren’t wasted or misused. OMB offi cials did not immedi- ately respond to a request for comment late Sunday, but have
order came one day after Trump threatened in a Truth Social post to revive his push for the payout fund if Blanche is not confi rmed. The Judiciary Committee has scheduled a critical vote Tuesday on Blanche’s nomination. Elsewhere, the Senate is ex- pected to easily approve legisla- tion to impose new sanctions on Russia, which would allow the Trump administration to levy up to 100 percent tariff s on the top fi ve purchasers of Russian oil and natural gas. The measure, which was championed by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Car- olina) before his sudden death last month, advanced last week on a strong bipartisan vote. And Thune has said the chamber would vote on an in- dustry-backed cryptocurrency bill that would establish federal authority over digital assets. But

the measure faces opposition on a variety of fronts, including from Democrats, who are de- manding tougher ethics provi- sions to limit Trump’s ability to profi t from his family’s crypto businesses. Possibly the tallest order for Republicans this week is fi nal- izing a framework for a budget package to speed cash to farmers and the Pentagon. Using a com- plex process known as recon- ciliation, GOP lawmakers could sidestep a Democratic fi libuster and pass the package with Re- publican votes. For the strategy to work, Sen- ate Republicans would need near-unanimous support in their caucus. But several GOP sena- tors have expressed opposition. “We’re taking a hard look at it,” Thune told reporters last week. “And at the moment, as I’ve said
nalize the rule by Oct. 1. If the Senate’s funding extension were approved by both chambers, it would block OMB from imple-
before, we’re probably not there.” Last month, the House passed a $95 billion budget framework that includes $73 billion for defense, $12 billion in aid for farmers and $10 billion for elec- tion-related measures, which House Republicans hope to use to impose elements of the Save America Act — a top Trump pri- ority. That bill would require voters to prove their citizenship when registering to vote and to show a photo ID at the polls. Trump has demanded that the Senate stay in session until the election provisions pass, but Thune has said repeatedly that the bill cannot pass the Senate, even under reconciliation. Tillis, for one, has said he would not support it. Meanwhile, multiple GOP sen- ators have expressed other con- cerns with the House framework
menting the rule, at least until the measure expires on Dec. 11. Collins urged OMB to with- draw portions of the rule in ear- ly July. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers — along with GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) — have raised similar concerns. Murray and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Connecticut), the top Demo- crats on the Senate and House Appropriations Committees re- spectively, celebrated the provi- sion in statements Sunday. The new OMB rule would “only give Trump the greenlight to take even more federal fund- ing hostage,” said Murray, who worked with Collins to craft the Senate spending measure. Mur- ray said she pushed for a pro- vision that would have perma- nently killed the OMB rule but
for reconciliation, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Bill Cassidy (Louisiana) and Col- lins. Senate Armed Services Com- mittee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), who has argued for closer to $300 billion for de- fense, told The Washington Post on Thursday that he is pushing for the higher amount. But a bigger package risks the support of fi scally conservative Republi- cans, who are already balking at adding $95 billion to the nation’s $39.8 trillion debt. Senate Budget Committee Chair Ron Johnson (R-Wiscon- sin) said the White House would need to directly request the ad- ditional funds for defense. Still, Johnson said he was “pretty op- timistic” that the Senate would advance a budget framework be- fore leaving town.
was rebuff ed by her Republican colleagues. When OMB announced it this spring, the proposed rule change drew widespread outrage from scientifi c researchers, who say it could end U.S. scientifi c domi- nance by subjecting research in- stitutions to political meddling, introducing new instability to federal funding, limiting foreign collaboration and pushing away talented researchers. Trump administration offi - cials have said they wouldn’t use the rule to blindly slash scientifi c funding. OMB Direc- tor Russell Vought said during a congressional hearing last month that the administration doesn’t intend to cancel grants “in a heartbeat.” But “when we fi nd something that’s problematic that our pol- icy offi cials would not have caught, we need to be able to turn it off ,” Vought added, citing as an example an NIH sub-grant given from a U.S.-based non- profi t to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese laboratory at the center of suspicions about the origins of covid-19. Last year, the Trump admin- istration canceled hundreds and froze thousands of federal grants to projects they argued did not align with administra- tion priorities. It unleashed cha- os within research institutions, scientists said, prompting lay- off s and upending projects. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) has said he aims to pass the spend- ing bill before the Senate leaves town Friday for a month-long recess. The government would shut down at the end of Septem- ber if the measure — or one like it — is not approved. It was unclear Sunday wheth- er the GOP-controlled House would support the measure as written. The House returns from its own month-long recess on Aug. 31. Spokespeople for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Lou- isiana) and Republican House appropriators did not imme- diately respond to requests for comment.
Attorneys accuse Ethics Committee of reaching a rushed judgment
BY MARIANA ALFARO
The House Ethics Committee recommended that the chamber censure Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-North Carolina) for what it characterized in a report re- leased Monday as “persistent unprofessional and inappropri- ate conduct” toward two young female staff ers. Edwards has denied any mis- conduct. His attorneys accused the committee of reaching an “expeditious and unfounded res- olution,” and called the recom- mended censure “extraordinari- ly harsh.” “Representative Edwards emphasizes that he has endeav- ored to comply with all applica- ble laws regarding his conduct during his time as a Member of Congress and before,” his attor- neys wrote in a statement re- leased by the committee. “Once more, he states his sincere re- gret if his conduct caused any staff member discomfort or was unwelcome.” The Ethics Committee — which is made up of an equal number of Democrats and Re- publicans — publicly confi rmed in May that it had opened an investigation into Edwards af- ter receiving allegations that he “may have created or fostered a hostile work environment and engaged in sexual harassment.” The committee said it found no evidence that Edwards en- gaged in sexual activity with or explicitly propositioned any of his staff ers. However, he was aware “that his excessive atten- tion toward the young women had led to rumors and innuendo in the offi ce,” the report said. The committee found that while Edwards believed that none of his conduct was in- tended as a sexual or romantic advance, his behavior patterns “would lead a reasonable ob- server to interpret it as such.”
ANNA MONEYMAKER/GETTY IMAGES A report released by the House Ethics Committee accuses Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-North Carolina) of “inappropriate conduct” toward two young female staff ers. Edwards has denied any misconduct.
According to the report, Ed- wards provided the two staff ers “with lavish and recurrent gifts,” made “comments regarding their appearance and dress,” in- vited them “to intimate dinners and vacations” and sent notes “regarding his eff usive aff ec- tion.” Some of the gifts, accord- ing to the report, included jewel- ry totaling over $1,000, designer purses, guns, shoes, fl owers, a laptop and cellphones. The women, the panel found, were “uncomfortable” with his behavior and attempted to com- municate that to him but were “put in an untenable position by virtue of his status as their boss.” Documents and text messages included in the report shared by the Ethics Committee show that Edwards repeatedly made grand gestures for the two staff ers. On one occasion, he and a
staff er appeared to take a pri- vate trip to Las Vegas together, the report said. Edwards booked rooms at the Bellagio for him and the staff er, and also prom- ised to get them tickets to shows in the city. At one point, after the staff - er asked Edwards for ideas on what outfi ts to pack for the trip, Edwards texted: “A pair of jean shorts and a yellow blouse that you wore to a concert is baked into my memory, and a red dress you wore to a neighboring offi ce event was a SHOW STOPPER!” Later in the conversation, be- fore the fl ight, Edwards sent the staff er fl owers, which she noted made her “uncomfortable.” “Just want to make sure this trip isn’t meant to be anything it’s not?” she texted. “I’m sorry it made you uncom- fortable. Nothing was meant by
it,” Edwards replied. On another occasion, Ed- wards off ered to miss a House vote to help one of the staff ers set up her Christmas tree, the re- port said. In another, he off ered to reschedule a tele-townhall to meet the staff er for dinner. Other messages included in the report show that Edwards regularly invited the staff ers out for dinner and drinks, as well as outings to casinos, theater, com- edy and musical shows. When one of the staff ers left Edwards’s offi ce, the lawmaker sent a lengthy text saying that her absence “leaves a space no one else can fi ll — professionally or personally.” “Even at my loss, I promise you will never fi nd anyone that wishes for your happiness more than me. NEVER, ANYONE!” Edwards wrote.
Western North Carolina can be proud of.”
Jamie Ager, a Democrat challenging Edwards for reelection
And in a handwritten note to one of the staff ers, Edwards de- scribed her as “the most amaz- ing woman” who has “written a complex chapter in my heart.” In their response to the com- mittee, Edwards’s attorneys ar- gued that its fi ndings “exonerate Representative Edwards under House Rules governing sexual misconduct or harassment.” The attorneys, Stanley M. Brand and Andrew D. Herman, underscored that Edwards “neither engaged in sexual ac- tivity with nor explicitly prop- ositioned any individual staff member” and said that “the al- legations in this matter do not implicate quid pro quo sexual harassment.” The committee also accused Edwards of failing to deliver complete texts and conversa- tions between him and the staff - ers. The missing messages, the committee said, included senti- ments that were central to the investigation, including a series of messages in which Edwards provided only the staff er’s re- sponse to a restaurant recom- mendation he made. His response, recovered by the committee during its in- vestigation, read in part: “I’m burning with jealousy because I wanted to be the person to in- troduce you to it.” The committee also inter- viewed the staff ers. One, when questioned about her relation- ship with Edwards, said that she “did not know how to say no,” and that she and the other staff - er “were both very young” and were “taught that we needed to be grateful.” “As we got older we started realizing that maybe this isn’t normal,” the staff er told the committee. The other staff er, who trav- eled to Las Vegas with Edwards, said she worried she was “in too
deep” and that she felt she had to say yes to the trip because she “did not think that having a Member of Congress against me would benefi t my career.” According to the report, one of the staff ers was 19 when she started working for Edwards as an intern. She moved to Wash- ington after graduating from college, and she worked for Ed- wards for approximately three years. The second staff er had worked with Edwards during his time as a state senator, and she remained on his staff for ap- proximately 2½ years. Edwards is facing a reelection challenge by Democrat Jamie Ager, a farmer from the moun- tainous swing district that Dem- ocrats see as a pickup opportu- nity as they seek to win back the House majority. This year, House Democrats’ campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Cam- paign Committee, added the district to its “red-to-blue” list, signaling its intention to invest in the race. “My heart goes out to the young women who took these roles to serve our community,” Ager said in a statement. “We deserve leaders with the moral character Western North Caroli- na can be proud of.” The Cook Political Report re- cently ranked the seat, North Carolina’s 11th District, as a “lean Republican” district — a shift from “likely Republican.” Censure is one of three ways the House can choose to disci- pline a member, the other two being a reprimand and an ex- pulsion. If the House adopts the committee’s recommenda- tion to censure Edwards, it also could vote to remove him from his committee assignments. He would still be able to vote on the fl oor. Republicans hold a razor-thin majority in the cham- ber.

BLANCHE FROM A1
I don’t know what they agreed. I think Todd Blanche agreed to reconfi rm things that he’s al- ready said.” If the agreement holds, it would end days of back-and- forth that saw two prominent GOP senators take on Trump, prompting sharp criticism from a president who has not been accustomed to resistance from his own party. Still, Blanche’s order ap- peared to fall short of what Cornyn and Tillis were demand- ing last week. The two senators said they needed to see revisions to the original settlement agree- ment, signed by Trump’s law- yers, that established the fund as part of a deal to resolve a lawsuit the president fi led over the leak of his tax returns to the media. Blanche‘s order Sunday did not do that. Instead, it rescinded Blanche’s own directive, issued in May, setting up how the pay- out fund would work. Sunday’s order was not signed by Trump’s legal team. Cornyn had earlier suggest- ed that would be a dealbreaker. “Just to be clear, the president of the United States, who was a plaintiff in this lawsuit, has not agreed in writing to delete the weaponization fund,” Cornyn emphasized at Blanche’s hear- ing. That is still true, even after Blanche’s statement Sunday night. And that leaves open a possibility Cornyn warned about — that Trump could sue the Justice Department for breach of contract over killing the payout fund. Democrats noted Monday that Blanche’s statement also does not preclude the Justice Department from continuing to settle legal claims with Trump allies who claim they were un- fairly prosecuted by the Biden and Obama administrations, even if the department does not use the $1.8 billion payout fund to do so. “It doesn’t prevent the admin from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week
or using DOJ’s Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose,” Sen. Adam Schiff of California, a Judiciary Committee member, said in a social media post. In addition, the underlying settlement deal still extends unusual protections from tax audits to Trump and his family. Blanche’s statement Sunday that the deal will not apply to future claims — or to people outside the Trump family — was, like his statement declaring the pay- out fund dead, not incorporated into the underlying legal docu- ment. Asked Monday about those limitations of their agreement with Blanche, Tillis and Cornyn said they had done the best that they could. “Could the president com- pletely reverse things and create a new fund? He could,” Tillis told reporters. “Then he can an- swer to the American people for not negotiating in good faith.” For his part, Blanche thanked Cornyn and Tillis for working with him as the standoff over his nomination extended over the past week. “My team and I have met with committee members and Sena- tors over the past several weeks and addressed any concerns or outstanding questions,” he said. “We have enjoyed good faith dis- cussions. ... The Department al- ways welcomes and appreciates productive engagement with all members of Congress.” If Blanche is ultimately con- fi rmed, it could bring a measure of stability to a Justice Depart- ment that has been without a confi rmed leader for four months. Trump has given no in- dication he will change his ap- proach of demanding prosecu- tions of his political adversaries, which has engulfed the depart- ment in controversy. But it was the out-of-court settlement agreement Justice Department lawyers negotiated with Trump’s legal team in the spring that prompted the sharp- est bipartisan backlash. Cornyn and Tillis, both of whom are leaving the Senate after this year, made a written amendment to the deal a con-
dition of their support for of Blanche’s nomination. Their objection was rooted in concerns that the proposed payout fund could reward peo- ple convicted of attacking police offi cers during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. For days, Trump appeared to resist their demands, opting instead to lash out at the two senators. Prospects for any res- olution seemed dim. On Friday, Trump blasted Cornyn and Tillis accusing them of holding up Blanche’s nomi- nation, not over legitimate con- cerns, but because they were upset that he had not endorsed them for reelection. Cornyn lost a bruising reelec- tion fi ght in the spring after
we were clear that we needed a written document addressing our concerns.”
Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and T om Tillis of North Carolina, in a statement
Trump backed his Republican primary opponent, Texas Attor- ney General Ken Paxton. Tillis opted not to seek reelection af- ter a dispute with Trump. Cornyn, though, rejected the notion that his position on Blanche’s nomination had any- thing to do with his personal feelings toward Trump. “This is about making sure that even if you’re the president of the United States, you don’t get favorable terms from the government in the settlement of a lawsuit that ordinary citizens would not get,” he told reporters Thursday. As negotiations between the senators and the administration wore on for much of last week with little progress to show,
the lawmakers made clear they blamed the White House, not Blanche, for the impasse. “I think as far as Blanche and the Department of Justice, we were pretty much on the same page,” Cornyn said Thurs- day afternoon. “But then when the president got wind of it, he wasn’t.” Since then, Trump has raised more doubts about his inten- tions. He threatened Friday to tem- porarily withdraw Blanche’s nomination and resubmit it next year, after Cornyn and Til- lis had left the Senate. The same day, the president’s lawyers further muddied the waters, fi ling a notice that they would appeal a recent order from the federal judge who was overseeing Trump’s suit against the IRS. The judge had denounced the lawsuit as an illegitimate legal dispute, given that lawyers on both sides ultimately reported to the president. She accused the parties of using the suit as a pretext to justify what she de- scribed as a questionable deal reached without court approval. Trump’s lawyers maintain that because the deal was struck outside of court, the judge has no jurisdiction over it. And on Saturday, the president sug- gested that if Cornyn and Tillis were to vote against Blanche, he would push legislation through Congress to establish the fund through law instead. Even hours after Blanche is- sued his Sunday order, Trump continued to express support for the idea of compensating Jan. 6 rioters, people who he said “were treated horribly.” “I thought it would be very fair for people that spent years in prison, people that were treated so badly [and], in many cases, people that did absolutely nothing wrong,” the president told reporters Monday in the Oval Offi ce. “So I view that fund as a positive. And a lot of Re- publicans do, too.”

Rep. Kaptur of Ohio injured in car crash
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) was treated for non-life-threat- ening injuries and hospitalized Sunday after being involved in a car crash while on her way to a church service near Toledo, her offi ce said. The congresswoman, 80, was riding in the passenger seat of the vehicle when it was struck, her offi ce said in a statement. Though hospitalized, she was active and alert on Sunday evening. Kaptur’s offi ce said the Toledo Police will investigate the crash. Toledo Police did not immedi- ately respond to a request for comment on the crash. “She expressed her deep grati- tude to the hundreds of constit- uents who have reached out and looks forward to returning to a full schedule soon,” Kaptur’s offi ce said in a statement. A report from WTOL 11, a Toledo TV station, said police offi cers responded to a two-vehi- cle crash described as a “hit- skip” — a regional term for a hit-and-run. Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) said on X that he hopes “the person responsible for this reckless act is apprehended quickly and held accountable.” Kaptur, who is running for reelection in Ohio’s 9th Con- gressional District, is a longtime House member, currently in her 17th term. Her Republican op- ponent, Derek Merrin, said on X that he was “saddened to learn of the accident.” “Please join me in praying for her speedy recovery and all those injured in the crash,” he wrote. — Mariana Alfaro
Rice expands its free tuition program
Rice University announced Monday that it is off ering free tuition starting this fall to stu- dents whose families earn up to $200,000. Students whose families earn up to $100,000 with typical assets will also get fees, room and board covered by the highly selective university in Houston. Tuition and those costs at the school total nearly $93,000 a year. The school launched its Rice Investment program in 2019 to make its education more aff ordable and fi nancial aid more transparent up front, said Yvonne Romero, vice president for enrollment and dean of ad- missions and fi nancial aid. Even at higher income brack- ets, aid is available; 70 per- cent of students from families earning between $200,000 and $300,000 who applied for assis- tance received aid, she said. Greater university investment and donations have made more families eligible for aid. Rice joins a growing number of schools off ering signifi cant fi - nancial aid to even middle-class families, and publicizing it in an easy-to-understand way so that parents aren’t deterred by high sticker prices. Jalen Reeves, who graduated recently without any debt, said the fi nancial aid gave him the freedom to get an education without the stress and uncer-
tainty of fi nding a way to pay for it. “It’s a blessing!” he said. — Susan Svrluga
Trump dismisses polls showing low approval
President Donald Trump dismissed polls showing his job approval ratings hitting record lows, writing in a Truth Social post Monday that “My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Me- dia, are the best they have ever been.” Trump did not criticize a specifi c recent poll or cite polling that shows him more popular. Trump’s complaints come after his approval ratings dipped to match record lows or fell to new low points in polls from Quinnipiac University (32 percent), CNN (34 percent) and the Economist-YouGov (also 34 percent). While Trump fared better in other polls, national averages show him between 36 and 40 percent approval, down about one percentage point in recent weeks to match or set new record lows. The CNN poll found 28 per- cent approved of his handling of Iran, down fi ve points from March. A 74 percent majority said they think Trump doesn’t have a clear plan to handle the war, up seven points from March. Trump wrote “don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll num- bers,” but he has long followed public opinion polls, highlight- ing such fi ndings he likes and dismissing those he dislikes. His moves over the weekend ap- peared aimed at winding down a war that polls show Americans increasingly oppose. On Saturday night, Trump said that the United States had canceled strikes against Iran and that “the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to,” later saying that negotiations to end the war would begin Monday afternoon. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected the claim that negotiations would resume Monday, although The Washing- ton Post reported that regional mediators were passing messag- es between the U.S. and Iran. Trump’s military pullback over the weekend comes about four weeks after a previous ceasefi re collapsed. With oil shipments disrupted, gas prices were up 32 cents to over $4 a gallon last week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. — Scott Clement

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CINCINNATI ANIMAL CARE Gelato, who has a spinal injury in his lower back, gained the ability to walk with a wheelchair made of toy cars and rulers. It has a bar near the back supporting his pelvis and a small red harness strapping him in.
BY KYLE MELNICK
Sayre Morgan spotted a yel-
low bag of cat food and a tiny
stray kitten on the side of a road
while driving home from work
one recent night. He pulled over
to fi nd not just one, but a litter
of kittens roaming a Cincinnati
hillside. However, one was in se-
rious need of help: The cat was
on his side, unable to stand or
walk.
Morgan took the fi ve kittens to
an animal shelter, where X-rays
found that the immobile cat
had a spinal injury in his lower
back. The cat, whom shelter staff
named Gelato, dragged his hind
legs when he tried to walk.
He appeared interested in
interacting with other cats and
playing with feather toys and
balls, said Mallory Smith, the
veterinary assistant lead at Cin-
cinnati Animal Care. But weigh-
ing just over a pound and stand-
ing about 4 inches tall, Gelato
was too small for the shelter’s
wheelchairs.
Smith, who is fostering Gela-
to, wanted to give the kitten the
ability to walk — and she had an
unconventional idea.
She began building Gela-
to a handmade wheelchair in
mid-July by cutting cardboard
from a package she had recent-
ly received. She taped strips of
cardboard together to form the
wheelchair’s frame and legs.
Around
the
same
time,
Smith’s friend visited her with a
collection of old Hot Wheels cars
that he planned to sell. Smith
grabbed two ambulance toys
from his bag and taped them to
the bottom of the cardboard to
serve as the chair’s wheels.
Smith placed Gelato into the
wheelchair, with a bar near the
back supporting his pelvis and a
small red harness strapping him
in. But when Gelato walked, the

99 cents each. She attached two to each side with electrical and duct tape and zip ties.
When she placed Gelato into the wheelchair again, he moved freely without the wheelchair
crumbling. Smith, 27, was elated. “It was really cute to get to see him kind of have that autono-

my,” she said. Smith calls the wheelchair “The Lion’s Throne.” Gelato initially seemed hes- itant in the wheelchair, but now he enjoys roaming Smith’s one-bedroom apartment, play- ing with toys and pawing at Smith’s three cats: Wasabi, Nona and Bake Sale. Gelato, about 3 months old, stands in his wheelchair every day for his physical therapy routine, which involves Smith moving his legs to build strength and mobility. His health has im- proved; he can now stand with- out the wheelchair’s assistance. “He’s defi nitely gained a lot of confi dence,” Smith said. Despite the name, cat wheel- chairs typically don’t have chairs and instead rely on wheels and harnesses to support an animal’s weak legs. The shelter shared a photo of Gelato in his wheelchair on so- cial media July 20, prompting thousands of people to share the post and a few to off er to build Gelato a sturdier wheelchair. Smith worked with a friend who is an engineer to 3D-print a black wheelchair that can be adjusted as Gelato grows. Gelato tried it out for the fi rst time last week. Gelato appears to have feeling in his legs, which Smith said is a sign he might regain his ability to walk. For now, Smith wants Gelato to become more com- fortable in his wheelchair before he goes up for adoption, which Smith said will probably be in a few weeks. Given Gelato’s newfound fame, Smith expects many peo- ple will be interested in adopting him. “He’s been through a lot in his, so far, very short life,” Smith said. “And he’s very inspiring to kind of keep moving forward.”

Health advocate warns of threats to disability care
He says recent memo from Justice Dept. could shrink access to services
by Daniel Wu
In a letter to Health Secre- tary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and acting attorney general Todd Blanche, the chairman of the Special Olympics — who is also Kennedy’s cousin — called on the administration to reverse course on a Justice Department memorandum that could nar- row federal protections for dis- ability care. The letter by Tim Shriver joins a recent outcry from law- makers and disability advocates who have warned that the June memo, which called for reinter- preting a key Supreme Court ruling on disability rights, could shrink access to home- and community-based care services that hundreds of thousands of Americans with disabilities rely on to receive care without being placed in institutions — a cause that members of the Kennedy family have supported through- out their political careers. “This is something that is in some ways the central passion of our family,” Shriver told The Washington Post. “And I hope and believe that Secretary Ken- nedy understands that.” The Health and Human Ser- vices Department and Justice Department did not provide a comment by the time of this ar- ticle’s publication. The memo comes as patients and caregivers brace for Medic- aid cuts from President Donald Trump’s tax bill, which are also expected to hamper disability services. “Many people with intellec- tual and developmental disabil- ities are already worried about whether the Medicaid-funded supports and services they rely on will be there in the future,” Shriver wrote in the letter sent to Kennedy and Blanche last week and shared with The Post. Shriver, a longtime disability rights activist, said he sent the letter in his personal capacity.
2023 PHOTO BY ALEXANDER HASSENSTEIN/GETTY IMAGES Tim Shriver, a cousin of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wrote a letter to Kennedy and acting attorney general Todd Blanche.
He has led the Special Olym- pics, which organizes sporting competitions for children and adults with intellectual disabil- ities, since 1996. The Justice Department memo, issued in mid-June by its Office of Legal Counsel, ar- gued for a looser reading of the Supreme Court’s 1999 decision in Olmstead v. L.C., viewed as a landmark case for disabili- ty rights. The Supreme Court ruled that it was discrimina- tory to institutionalize people with disabilities when they can and want to receive communi- ty-based services instead. “Olmstead is what created the tools to require states to provide community-based services,” said Alison Barkoff, a profes- sor of health law and policy at George Washington University and a former HHS administra- tor during the Biden Adminis- tration. Advocates argue that those

services can be more cost-ef- fective than institutional care and better enable people with disabilities to work and remain connected with their families and communities. Around 4.5 million Medicaid enrollees receive home- and communi- ty-based care, and hundreds of thousands more are on waitlists for the services each year, health policy research organization KFF estimated in 2024. “These programs are the dif- ference between a full life and ... tragic mental illness, loneliness, depression, isolation, humilia- tion,” Shriver told The Post. The Kennedy family has been closely involved in efforts to pro- mote disability rights. President John F. Kennedy signed a major mental health bill in 1963 while in office and alongside Sen. Robert F. Kennedy — the health secretary’s father — pushed to shift disability care away from institutionalization and toward
community-based services. Eu- nice Kennedy Shriver, a sister of President Kennedy and Tim Shriver’s mother, founded the Special Olympics. The Trump administration has scrutinized home- and com- munity-based services for fraud and argued that some states poorly oversee their home- based care programs. Advocates are also concerned that states newly strained by cuts to Med- icaid could slash support for home- and community-based services. The Justice Department memo would make it easier for states to do that, opponents have said. It argued that Olm- stead does not require states to provide home- and commu- nity-based care for people with disabilities and that the federal government is not authorized to enforce such a mandate. It conceded that such an opinion is “out of step with the common understanding of that decision within the federal courts.” Groups including the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union, Amer- ican Association of People with Disabilities and Center for Pub- lic Representation denounced the Justice Department’s po- sition. Democrats in Congress urged the department to rescind the memo. While the Justice Depart- ment’s opinion doesn’t change the law, it could indicate that the department will step back from enforcing Olmstead, advo- cates said. “It provides a signal that the Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are stepping back from that commitment to community integration,” said Lydia Dawson, the vice presi- dent of government relations for ANCOR, a national associa- tion of private community pro- viders. Shriver said the Trump ad- ministration’s stance threatened decades of hard-fought progress for disability care. “I am hopeful that you will help ensure that our country continues moving forward rath- er than backward on the prom- ise of inclusion,” he wrote to Kennedy and Blanche.
FLOCK FROM A1
by Flock’s sprawling network of artifi cial-intelligence roadside cameras, which record passing license plates into a mappable database that offi cers can search while investigating crime. Flock had sold its system as a police offi cer’s dream crime-fi ghting tool. But the tool had also given the chief, Michael Steff man, the power to silently monitor Bakely’s life. By the time she understood what was hap- pening, Steff man had looked up the tags for her and her teenage daughter roughly 600 times, ac- cording to Have I Been Flocked, a website that aggregates po- lice search logs made available through public records. Steff man was arrested in November on charges of stalking, harassment and li- cense-plate-reader misuse. In April, before a trial could take place, he was found dead in his home from what offi cials said was a suicide. The town manag- er of Braselton, where Steff man worked, declined to comment. The town’s new police chief and four members of Steff man’s fam- ily did not respond to requests for comment. Backed by some of Silicon Valley’s top investors, Flock has rapidly grown into a colossus of American technological surveil- lance. A leader of the surging industry for license-plate read- ers, the company told The Post that its more than 120,000 shoe- box-size cameras now scan the roads of more than 6,000 com- munities and record 20 billion plate scans a month. But bad actors have used this massive camera network as a powerful weapon for intimate surveillance. Authorities have charged or accused at least 50 law-enforcement offi cers of us- ing license-plate readers for un- authorized purposes, including to stalk women without their knowledge or consent, a Post analysis of police and court re- cords found. In 26 of these cases, police in- vestigators and prosecutors said the offi cers used the technology to spy on their wives, their girl- friends, their exes, their exes’ new partners or women they wanted to meet. In other cases, police or prosecutors have not specifi ed the alleged surveillance targets. Flock’s system was used in 46 of the cases analyzed by The Post, while the other cases involved competing products. Many of the plate-reader mis- use cases were previously cov- ered by local media outlets, and some were fi rst compiled by the Institute for Justice, a civil liber- ties law fi rm in Arlington, Virgin- ia. The Post reviewed thousands of pages of court documents and internal police reports and con- ducted interviews with seven alleged victims, some of whom spoke publicly for the fi rst time, to paint a comprehensive picture of the misuse of Flock and other license-plate readers by police of- fi cers around the country. The review found that Flock gave police departments wide latitude about whether to acti- vate settings that some police and privacy advocates argue could deter misconduct, and that many departments conducted limited oversight of their offi - cers’ searches. As a result, rogue police were able to monitor their subjects’ movements with preci- sion and secrecy. After The Post relayed its fi nd- ings to Flock, the company said in a statement it “will soon be announcing better fi lters and tools to stop abuse before it hap- pens.” Flock offi cials said in inter- views that offi cers who misuse its technology represent a small share of its 140,000 active us- ers, and that the company of- fers training guides and search logs to help police departments run internal audits. In April, the company rolled out a new volun- tary “audit assistance” feature, which agencies can choose to enable, that automatically scans offi cers’ searches for suspicious activity, such as queries repeat- edly targeting the same vehicle or run by offi cers off the clock. In an interview with The Post, Flock chief executive Garrett Langley said misuse of its sys- tems is inevitable and that the company is focused on providing tools to catch perpetrators after the fact. In their contracts with Flock, police departments agree to use the tool solely for “bona fi de investigations” of crime. “We’re not going to change humans, and humans make bad decisions,” Langley said. “What we can do is make sure that they know if you use this tool, you will be held accountable.” The Post’s investigation sheds light on the scope of the technol- ogy’s misuse across the country, as well as the toll on victims and families who felt they were con-

stantly being watched. Through automated li- cense-plate reader systems, or ALPRs, offi cers could trace the rhythms and travels of their sub- jects’ daily lives, leading in some instances to violent confronta- tions, moments of psychological manipulation, and threats of co- ercion and control, the analysis found. In Wisconsin, a police offi cer allegedly used Flock to check whether his ex-girlfriend had gone to an abortion clinic, ac- cording to a police affi davit for a case set for trial this month. In Kansas, a police chief who tracked his ex through Flock sneaked up on her while she was intimate with another man, a state police certifi cation body al- leged, leading to his fi ring. In Florida, a deputy speed- ing to stop a young actress he’d added to a watch list for a li- cense-plate tool called Guardian nearly caused a head-on crash, according to a police report and video from his dashboard cam- era. The deputy was arrested in March, and his attorney declined to comment. And in California, prosecu- tors said a former deputy, Alex- ander Vanny, used Flock as part of a months-long campaign of “stalking” and “humiliating” his former fi ancée that also involved following her around town and installing a hidden camera in her roommate’s bathroom, according to a sentencing brief.

tronic data, and sentenced in February to six years in prison. His attorney told The Post that case focused on Vanny photo- graphing the license plate of a man who’d driven away with his former fi ancée after she’d gone to a bar, and that he’d done so out of concern for her. While some of the searches resulted in offi cers’ fi rings, pros- ecutions and prison sentences, police departments in other cas- es allowed offi cers to continue using the systems even after re- ceiving warnings that they were being misused. “This was not a lapse in judg- ment; it was a continual, re- petitive, obsessive behavior,” a Wisconsin woman wrote in a do- mestic-abuse restraining order petition, saying that Flock data showed that her offi cer ex-boy- friend had searched the plates for her and her partner 179 times. She said she lived in a “constant state of fear and unease.” An array of privacy advocates has argued that Flock could de- ter bad actors by making simple changes to its product, such as requiring offi cers to label every search with a criminal case num- ber. Some policing experts also warned that agencies’ inconsis- tencies in developing and en- forcing standard procedures for license-plate readers could lead to further misconduct. With no federal laws governing use and only a patchwork of state laws, many of the country’s roughly 18,000 police agencies are left to decide their rules on their own. Christian Quinn, a former

commander with the Fairfax County police in Virginia who now consults with agencies and technology vendors, said privacy features and oversight by local governments shouldn’t under- mine the ability of police to do their jobs. Rules that signifi cant- ly limit license-plate technolo- gies, he said, could “chill the use of them altogether.” But Eva Galperin, the director of cybersecurity at the advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foun- dation, said that abuse of the tool is “inevitable” and that the com- pany’s approach to date, coupled with poor supervision by police leadership, has done little to pro- tect women from abusive police offi cers. “Flock has already claimed that they have oversight, that they have guardrails, and we still see these kinds of abuses,” she said. Offi cers’ searches are logged by police agencies, but only some of them have been made available through public-records requests, making it tough for people to fi nd out whether their cars are being tracked. Some of the wom- en said they learned of the sur- veillance only after they received calls from internal-aff airs inves- tigators or ran their plate num- bers through third-party tools such as Have I Been Flocked. Some victims, such as Bakely, also say they’ve struggled to get their experiences taken serious- ly because the perpetrators are police, entrusted with broad au- thority to pursue investigations with operational secrecy and em- ployed by the same agencies they were told to call for help. Bakely said the cameras had left her feeling powerless to stop her ex-boyfriend from tracking her life. She didn’t feel safe ask- ing the police agency he led, she said, and she couldn’t get access to records that would have shown the surveillance was happening in real time. After Steff man told her about his Flock searches, she fi led for a restraining order, but a judge denied it on the basis that she couldn’t prove ongoing abuse, court records show. He “watched every single move I made,” she said. But “who do you turn the chief of police in to?”
‘As transformational as DNA’ When Bakely met Steff man on the dating app Tinder in 2022, he seemed like a perfect catch. He had kids and coached Lit- tle League baseball. He loved crude jokes and was quick with a compliment. And he had a sta- ble career, with 20 years in law enforcement. After several tough months during which Bakely, an Air Force veteran, uprooted her
life to move closer to her parents, he helped her feel safe, like she wasn’t alone. “He literally was my only friend,” she said in an interview. After a few months, she said, he began to act diff erently — more controlling and paranoid. He looked through 13 years of her Facebook history, forcing her to block men who’d left her comments, she told The Post. He also demanded access to her Ring doorbell camera and looked up all the names in her phone’s contact book. The couple broke up in late 2023, she said, but Steff man’s texts didn’t stop. Randomly, sometimes in the middle of the night, he’d ask cryptic questions about where she’d gone then say he’d already “looked it up,” according to a text exchange reviewed by The Post. She said he seemed to relish the idea of knowing things about her she had not wanted to share. One day in July 2024, after she had pushed him to explain him- self, he told her he had used a “Flock camera.” She had no idea what that meant. “It’s a camera system that reads tags,” he wrote in messages she shared with The Post. He in- sisted that it was a lapse in judg- ment and that he wouldn’t “ever look again.” “Don’t worry I’m not tracking you or some weird stalker s--t,” he wrote, with a cry-laughing emoji. It had been seven years since Flock had installed its fi rst cam- era not far from here, in Atlanta, as part of an idea by Langley — then a recent engineering grad- uate from Georgia Tech — to protect his neighborhood from a string of smash-and-grabs. Langley’s fi rst camera was an Android phone, hung outside in a rainproof box. But soon his start-up began promoting itself as something far bigger, saying it was building “the fi rst pub- lic safety operating system that eliminates crime.” The company dispatched installers to hang the camer- as along public roadways and sent sales teams to city halls and police expos with off ers of quick-start leasing deals costing around $3,000 per camera per year, public contracting docu- ments show. Thousands of cities and po- lice departments bought into the idea, and Flock gave them the choice to share their Flock data with other agencies or to view others’ data from across city or state lines. Many home- owners associations, apartment complexes and strip malls began signing up, too, giving them a way to search through their own
local camera feeds. Flock quickly became the most prominent player in the burgeoning license-plate-read- er business, rivaling systems from competitors such as Ax- on’s Fleet 3 and Motorola’s Ve- hicleManager. Despite lacking the established law-enforcement relationships of its peers, Flock’s surveillance-subscription pack- ages made its cameras accessible for small-town police depart- ments and neighborhood-watch groups. Flock said last year it had surpassed $300 million in annual revenue. Flock told agencies that it could set its “own written rules for who can access the system and how it can be used,” com- pany documents show. Agency leaders decide which offi cers re- ceive log-in credentials, accord- ing to Flock’s rules, and the offi - cers don’t need a warrant to run a search; they just type a plate number and go. Over time, Flock upgraded its tool’s surveillance power, creat- ing “hot lists” that notify offi cers whenever a target car is captured on camera and a “vehicle fi n- gerprint” feature that lets them search for a vehicle by its look or characteristics — say, any white minivan with bumper stickers — without knowing its plate num- ber, company documents show. Flock engineers improved the cameras, too, wiring them to use solar panels and cellular networks so that they could be installed anywhere and record at all hours. Flock’s fl agship cam- era, the Falcon, uses a style of AI image recognition, known as computer vision, that can read the plate on a speeding car at night or in heavy rain. Big venture capital fi rms in- cluding Andreessen Horowitz, an early Facebook investor, have poured money into Flock, bet- ting on the company as a way to revolutionize policing. Flock, a private company, said last year its business was worth $7.5 bil- lion. In a TED Talk in April, Langley said the company had expand- ed into making camera drones, police software and audio-de- tection devices after seeing its success in license-plate readers, which he said a police chief had told him were, for crime fi ghting, “as transformational as DNA.” He shared the story of how police used Flock to stop the abductor of a girl in Tennessee and said, “I don’t know how many more 11-year-old girls need to be kid- napped … before we say enough is enough.” Asked onstage whether his system’s use ever made him uncomfortable, Langley cited three recent instances of offi cer misuse, including a case that resembled Steff man’s: “a police chief in northern Georgia that used Flock to track an ex-part- ner.” Langley noted, however, that Flock’s audit logs had been used to investigate the abuse — evidence, he said, that the com- pany’s safeguards were working. “He was probably a bad per- son. He was going to do this, one way or another,” Langley said. “And so I look at the 1 mil- lion-plus” criminal investiga- tions Flock says it helped sup- port last year “and go, okay, this is a trade-off that I can make.”
‘The police are already here’ For months, Bakely hadn’t re- alized how often she had been driving by Flock cameras, which looked like automatic air fresh- eners and had been mounted high atop black utility poles. One recorded the road she drove to the Kroger supermarket; another faced a gas station. In the small downtown of Jeff erson, where she lived, there were two record- ing in opposite directions, one on each side of the town’s central creek. She had believed Steff man when he said he had looked up her plates just once. Months lat- er, when Bakely heard about the Have I Been Flocked website on the local news and looked up her plate’s search history, she learned the truth. He had searched her car hundreds of times over a span of about 13 months, some- times dozens of times a week, the audit records showed. Many of his searches were made between midnight and 4 a.m. As Flock’s popularity had bal- looned with police, more offi cers had begun treating the tool like a personal spy device. In Kansas, a woman who drove her chil- dren to her father’s house for breakfast one morning began receiving text messages from her ex-husband, Kechi police lieu- tenant Victor Heiar, demanding to know where she had taken their kids, according to an in- terview she gave police and text messages she shared with inves- tigators that were reviewed by The Post. Heiar later described the restaurant where she had just SEE FLOCK ON A11
celebrated her birthday and the center where she took their kids to day care — a location she had hidden from him out of fear and distrust, she told police. Heiar was fi red, his state police certifi cation was revoked and he pleaded guilty to computer crime and stalking, for which he was sentenced to 18 months of probation. The Kechi police chief declined to comment. Heiar and his attorney did not respond to requests for comment. And the monitoring some- times preceded threats of vi- olence or control. In Florida, Orange City offi cer Jarmarus Brown called his girlfriend on FaceTime to show her videos of her driving, according to a sher- iff ’s offi ce report. Once, he went to her apartment, grabbed her and reminded her that he car- ried a gun, leading her to threat- en to call the police, an investiga- tor’s incident report alleged. He responded, the report said, by referring to himself: “The police are already here.” Brown was arrested last year and pleaded no contest to a charge of unauthorized use of computers. He was sentenced this month to fi ve years of pro- bation and a $618 fi ne. Brown’s attorney and the Orange City po- lice did not respond to requests for comment. In some of the cases, offi cers used the searches to uncover deeply personal information about their subjects’ lives. In Wisconsin, Menasha offi cer Cris- tian Morales used Flock to check whether his then-girlfriend had gone to a clinic to “seek a po- tential termination of said preg- nancy,” according to an affi davit from an investigating offi cer with another police department seeking to subpoena Flock for search records. He texted the woman to say he had verifi ed she didn’t go to the clinic and told her, “You con- tinue to lie,” the affi davit alleged. He later contacted the clinic in an attempt to obtain her medical records, confronted her at her home and began calling her as many as 19 times a day, accord- ing to the affi davit. The woman and Morales’ at- torney declined to comment. The Menasha police did not re- spond to requests for comment. Morales was charged in January with misconduct in public offi ce and has pleaded not guilty. A criminal complaint said Morales admitted to searching for the woman’s vehicle, labeling them in the Flock system as “welfare” checks, and blamed his decision on bad judgment, desperation and a lack of sleep. Some offi cers, however, have defended their personal search- es as normal behavior for po- lice. Coty Wayne Hall, an offi cer in Niceville, Florida, ran 192 inappropriate Flock searches, including to track a former ro- mantic partner, according to an internal-aff airs investigation. The woman, a fellow offi cer, told investigators he once texted her details about what she was wear- ing one day when she took her kids to the park. Hall was fi red, pleaded no con- test to charges of computer-sys- tem misuse, stalking and battery, and was sentenced to probation. In an interview, he said it was unfair that he was being made “out to be some sort of monster.” “Pretty much everybody uses that computer system” improp- erly in the department, he said, and “they don’t audit it [nearly] as much as they should.” Nicev- ille Police Chief Mark Hayse said in a statement that the depart- ment’s Flock use was audited “and only one individual was found to be out of compliance.”
‘No consequences’ Flock’s defenders have argued that the prosecutions of rogue offi cers prove that its guardrails work. But in some cases, offi cers were allowed to keep searching Flock’s data after being accused of misuse. In Jerome County, Idaho, Sheriff Gary Taylor told The Post that a previous sheriff , George Oppedyk, had searched for his wife’s car several times a day in the weeks after a prosecutor fi led a complaint about him to the Idaho attorney general’s offi ce. Oppedyk resigned months af- terward, more than two years be- fore his term was slated to end, and faced no charges with the attorney general, Raúl R. Labra- dor, who said in a February let- ter that his offi ce couldn’t prove a crime “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Oppedyk, the letter said, had argued he’d run the searches “to check the system’s reliability.” Labrador said in a statement that his offi ce did not have the authority to prosecute Oppe- dyk because license-plate-reader misuse in Idaho is not regarded as a “standalone crime.” He said he is working with state legisla- tors to address this “gap in the law” so that they can prosecute future misuse. Taylor said in an interview
FRANK BOWEN IV/THE ENQUIRER/USA TODAY NETWORK Citizens gather for a town hall in Newport, Kentucky, last month to discuss the use of Flock cameras.

that Flock is a powerful law-en- forcement tool but that he wor- ries “a few bad apples [could] ruin it for everybody.” “If there are no consequences because the sheriff who abused it didn’t get in trouble, what’s to deter other people from do- ing the same thing?” Taylor said. Oppdeyk did not respond to re- quests for comment. The vast majority of the sur- veillance targets identifi ed by The Post are women, and several of them said the experience — menacing messages and confron- tations that led to the revelation they’d been watched — left them feeling violated and paralyzed. Galperin, of EFF, said that asym- metry of power is a large part of what makes the tool so danger- ous in the hands of bad offi cers. “The goal of the abuser is to make themselves seem omni- scient and omnipotent,” she said. “You don’t have to be watching your victim all the time. They just have to believe that at any moment you could be.” In some cases, license-plate data was just one component of a broader stalking campaign. In April, Kyle Rector, a former offi cer in Bonner Springs, Kan- sas, was charged with using law-enforcement equipment to stalk his estranged wife and two men he thought she was seeing, including by using data from a license-plate-reader system called ELSAG. Investigators also alleged they found monitoring software installed on her com- puter and a video camera hidden in her bedroom light switch. Rector has not off ered a plea yet in the case, and his attorney declined to comment. A prelim- inary hearing is scheduled for September. Bonner Springs po- lice said the agency is cooperat- ing with investigators. ELSAG’s developer, the security contrac- tor Leonardo, said it off ers train- ing and auditing tools to encour- age responsible use. Being subjected to extensive tracking left some women deep- ly unnerved, pushing some to change their lives or start driv- ing their relatives’ cars in hopes of not being tracked. One wom- an, a sheriff ’s deputy in Wiscon- sin who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she was fearful of further harassment, said she had her plate searched 16 times in a single day by a fel- low deputy with whom she had
been romantically involved. The deputy lost his job after an internal investigation but has faced no criminal charges, and the lack of punishment has made the situation harder for her to move on, she said in an interview. “I didn’t leave my house for a week,” she said. “I was scared to see him.” Adam Dodge, a former fami- ly-law attorney and founder of the cyber safety training group EndTAB, said the tool is too eas- ily misused by offi cers to engage in acts of domestic violence. The fact that the off enders have guns, badges and access to surveil- lance technology makes it even harder for victims to report their suspicions, he said, for fear that they won’t be believed and could face retribution if they speak out. “Any time you give an abusive individual access to one of those systems, they are likely going to misuse it,” he said. And “where do you go as a victim if you’re
humans make bad decisions. What we can do is make sure that they know if you use this tool, you will be held accountable.”
being abused — you go to law en- forcement, right?” Some of the women who ulti- mately reported the misuse said they were dismissed or ignored. Alexandria Griffi th, a mother in Leechburg, Pennsylvania, said in an interview that she repeatedly warned the police department and district attorney’s offi ce that her offi cer husband had stalked and threatened her. During one text exchange she shared with The Post, the offi cer, Michael McSherry, shared a screenshot of her license plate in the search results of a Flock competitor to claim she had lied to him. “Plate readers dont lie,” he wrote. Griffi th said offi cials at both agencies dismissed her pleas. Within days, she said, McSherry confronted her in her parents’ home armed with a gun, shoving her and her 4-year-old son and threatening to kill himself, ac- cording to a police report.

In an interview with The Post, McSherry expressed regret for misusing the license-plate read- er to track Griffi th and disputed the police report’s characteriza- tion of the altercation. He was arrested and pleaded guilty to stalking and offi cial oppression, for which he served roughly 11 months in jail. “A lot of people … knew that all of this was happening,” Grif- fi th said. “And they kind of just brushed me off .”
‘Police the police’ Flock has said incidents of abuse are unfortunate but tough to fully prevent, given the vast network of nationwide users and the reality that any tool can be abused. The company said that its audit logs have proved valu- able for internal investigations, and that the “audit assistance” feature has already helped ad- dress some instances of misuse.
Flock last month said a depart- ment in Albany, Georgia, fi red fi ve offi cers after the feature fl agged signs of misconduct. Langley, Flock’s chief, has dis- missed pushes by activists for the company to further limit how offi cers use its product. “No one elected me the police chief of America,” he told Forbes last year, adding, “I don’t think it’s our job to police the police.” Most law-enforcement agen- cies prohibit offi cers from ac- cessing any police database for personal purposes, and in many departments such misuse is re- garded as a fi reable off ense, ac- cording to Max Isaacs, director of law and policy at the New York University Law School’s Po- licing Project. But due to a patchwork of rules and regulations, the ex- tent to which such offi cers are punished varies widely based on their agency and state. Thirteen

states have adopted laws requir- ing police departments to audit offi cers’ license-plate reader us- age, the NYU group found. At least eight states have criminal- ized the misuse of license-plate readers, including Georgia, which classifi ed this crime as misdemeanor “of a high and aggravated nature,” the statute says. Some privacy advocates ar- gue there are very basic chang- es Flock and police departments could make to prevent abuse. Jay Stanley, a policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union, told The Post that every search should require a criminal case number as “standard expected practice” because it could help “make lying harder and detec- tion easier for a department that is well-managed enough to care.” Flock said last year that it would start allowing agencies to turn on the criminal-case-num- ber requirement for its own offi - cers, but it’s an optional setting. A company spokesman told The Post that roughly 1 in 4 agen- cies had turned on the “audit assistance” feature, which sends in-app notifi cations to police su- pervisors. Though Flock says in train- ing guides that offi cers should detail a reason for each search, many of them have been justi- fi ed with vague, one-word expla- nations, such as “investigation,” that make it harder for inter- nal-aff airs teams to evaluate, documents reviewed by The Post show. After DeFlock Joplin, an advo- cacy group in the Missouri city, requested audit logs from the po- lice, the group said that 85 per- cent of searches had a one-word justifi cation, such as “suspicious” or “drugs,” and that less than 3 percent of searches had been linked to a criminal case. Some experts suspect that many audit logs aren’t being re- viewed at all — and that, if they were, offi cials would discover more cases of misuse. The Insti- tute for Justice and other groups have proposed that Flock search- es should be permitted only for offi cers who have obtained a warrant from a judge, much like police searches in the real world. A Flock spokesman said the company isn’t “capable or re- sponsible for mandating a war-
rant,” and Flock’s defenders and investors have argued that the restriction would make the tool cumbersome and erode offi cers’ investigative edge. “Most of the time when you need license-plate information, it’s a timeliness thing,” said Quinn, the former police com- mander. Requiring a warrant, he said, could delay police from re- sponding to active safety threats. Police departments largely acknowledge that license-plate readers require oversight, but absent federal laws around the technology many of them have not implemented strict guide- lines to prevent abuse, said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a nonprofi t that advises agencies on policing practices. “This is the nature of technol- ogy and policing,” Wexler said. “Very often a technology will be farther ahead of policy, and that’s what has happened, I think, with license-plate readers.” Some agencies that have set their own rules have found themselves scrambling to update them amid updates to the tech- nology’s power. Jim Sheehan, a New Jersey program coordina- tor who helps write policies fol- lowed by more than 500 law-en- forcement agencies in the state, said he is helping to revise local license-plate-reader standards for the third time since the rules were adopted in 2010. Some advocates, however, fear Flock’s current approach merely allows police offi cials to police themselves. In Milwaukee, an internal-aff airs detective inves- tigating a fellow offi cer’s misuse of Flock was found, in a separate investigation, to have misused Flock to surveil an unnamed vic- tim and later admitted to install- ing a GPS tracker on the victim’s car, according to a criminal com- plaint last month. The detective, Tehrangi Chap- man, was charged with miscon- duct in public offi ce and misuse of a GPS device. Chapman and his attorney did not respond to requests for comment. Milwau- kee Police Chief Jeff rey B. Nor- man said in a statement, “No one is above the law.” Torin Monahan, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who studies sur- veillance, said Flock’s resistance to stricter user oversight off ers only “a performance of account- ability” designed to minimize scandal and maximize new sign- ups from public-sector clientele. “They don’t want any imped- iments to police adoption,” he said. “The more cameras that are on the network, the stronger the network becomes.” But David Ulevitch, a partner at Flock investor Andreessen Horowitz, said the more than 40 Flock misuse cases were “an infi nitesimally small number” relative to the hundreds of thou- sands of offi cers nationwide. It’s “truly a nonissue,” he said in an interview, “... and by the way, that’s 40 offi cers that now have been disciplined or charged or fi red that otherwise would not have been, thank you to Flock.” For Bakely, the searches from her ex-boyfriend stopped in Au- gust 2025, according to search logs later made public and com- piled by Have I Been Flocked. That month, she had fi led for a restraining order against Stef- fman, writing that he “uses the traffi c (Flock) cameras to track my location,” her petition said. A judge denied her request, saying that Steff man’s conduct was “concerning” but that Bake- ly had no evidence to “support current allegations of stalking.” After he suggested Bakely fi le a complaint with the local sheriff ’s offi ce, that offi ce then referred the case to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Three months later, when agents arrested Stef- fman, bureau offi cials said an investigation found he had mis- used the license-plate system “to harass and stalk multiple indi- viduals.” Steff man died before a trial could be initiated, and superi- or court records do not list an attorney. Calls, emails and text messages sent to four of Steff - man’s family members were not returned. On LinkedIn, he had said he retired after a career in law enforcement focused on “en- suring that every resident feels seen, heard and protected.” Braselton’s town manager de- clined to comment, but a pre- vious town manager said in a statement that the town was “disappointed by the circum- stances and the charges.” Five days before GBI announced his arrest, the town’s Facebook page had posted a photo showing Stef- fman posing with the mayor and town council for a celebration of his 20 years of “dedicated ser- vice.” His “leadership and com- mitment,” the post said, “have helped shape the department and strengthen the safety of our community.”

bunia, congo — Esther Lu- tula stopped going for prena- tal checkups shortly after the current Ebola outbreak was declared in the Democratic Re- public of Congo. Midway into her pregnancy, the 26-year-old feared being put into isolation simply for having a fever, a com- mon misconception. “That’s why I’m waiting until the disease is no longer wide- spread,” she told the Associated Press from her home in Bunia, the capital of Ituri province and epicenter of the outbreak de- clared May 15. But that could be a deadly mistake. Maternal mortality across Ituri soon doubled as news of the outbreak spread, with an av- erage of about six women dying per week because of childbirth complication, according to No- emi Dalmonte, deputy country representative of the U.N. Popu- lation Fund in Congo. While there was an average of 3.1 maternal deaths weekly
Labour Party rises in national polls
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s Labour Party has pulled ahead of the anti-im- migrant Reform UK party in national polls for the fi rst time in more than a year, as the Trump-aligned insurgency that dominated British politics for 16 months struggles with cor- ruption allegations and a new prime minister’s energetic fi rst two weeks in offi ce. Five national polls conduct- ed since July 24 show Labour leading Reform by two to fi ve percentage points, with three showing a tie. The Financial Times poll tracker on Monday showed Labour is favored narrowly over Reform by one point, 24 per- cent to 25 percent. Other polls suggest a wider gap, including PollCheck’s seven-poll moving average as of Saturday showing Labour with nearly 26 percent
this year before the outbreak, that jumped to 5.8 deaths from May 25 to July 19. Among those, the deaths outside health cen- ters have also jumped from 9.1 percent to 17.4 percent within the same period, UNFPA data shows. As Congo battles the fast- est-growing Ebola outbreak on record, with more than 1,600 confi rmed deaths, health and aid workers are warning of a shadow crisis as pregnant wom- en avoid hospitals and the coun- try’s already high maternal mor- tality rate climbs even more. While it is common for Af- ricans to avoid health centers during public health emergen- cies because of safety concerns, “with Ebola, it is stronger be- cause Ebola has a lot of rumors,” Dalmonte said in an interview. With some wary residents questioning whether Ebola even exists, and health workers in one of Congo’s most remote and volatile regions struggling to re- spond to the outbreak with few supplies, pregnant women have less care than ever. Congo’s has among the world’s highest rates of both childbirths
support, Reform with nearly 24 and the Conservatives with nearly 20. While the margins are narrow, they mark the fi rst tangible sign that Burnham’s arrival might be blunting a Reform surge that saw the party dominate a string of recent elections around the country. Like President Donald Trump, Reform has turned grievance — against immigrants, elites and the so-called woke media — into its central organizing force. In May’s local elections, Nigel Farage’s party took about 28 percent of the vote — an 11-point lead over its nearest rival — win- ning more than 1,000 council seats and seizing control of roughly a dozen councils, many of them in the Labour-held Mid- lands and North. Labour won’t face a national general election for another three years. But Reform’s gains sparked a panic against Prime Minister Keir Starmer among Labour lawmakers, who voted internally last month to replace

Burnham has dominated the airwaves and social media with a blitz of cost-of-living mea- sures: a tax cut on energy bills, a 2 pound (about $2.65) cap on bus fares and lower business rates for pubs and clubs. In early days, Burnham seems to be resonating, said Tony Travers, political science professor at the London School of Economics. “The vibe seems diff erent,” Travers said. “He does seem to have a capacity to connect with voters that Starmer famously lacked. At the same time, Farage has been dogged for months by questions over his fi nances, among them a 5 million-pound (about $6.6 million) gift from a crypto billionaire and mon- ey from a convicted fraudster.

Ebola is rare but highly con- tagious and severe, often fatal. It spreads in the human popula- tion through contact with bodi- ly fl uids such as vomit, blood or semen, and with contaminated surfaces and materials such as bedding and clothing. Women are usually the prima- ry caregivers when a loved one becomes ill. Many are among frontline health workers in this outbreak as well. AP journalists covering the outbreak have seen pregnant health workers among the re- sponders. “It is very important that they know how to protect them- selves, that they have the right information,” Dalmonte said. Pregnant women with Ebola are at an increased risk of prob- lems including miscarriage, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said in its clinical guidance. Meanwhile, pregnant women who delay care and avoid health facilities “could die not from Eb- ola itself but because the care that would have saved them was no longer accessible, trusted or safe,” Dalmonte said.
Island is hit by sixth blackout of this year
Cubans on Monday were recovering from the sixth is- landwide blackout this year, as the nation remains in free-fall after the Trump administration eff ectively cut it off from oil in January. The energy grid collapses leave people with fewer options to get by as the U.S. keeps up a pressure campaign against the communist-led government. Cuba’s government was working to restore power after the state-run electric compa- ny reported another “total” blackout Sunday night, without specifying the cause. That fol- lowed sweeping outages across western Cuba, including the cities of Pinar del Río, Matanzas and Havana. By Monday, some electricity had been restored in Havana, but much of the Cna- tion was still disconnected. — Associated Press

One of Russia’s most promi- nent anti-war politicians, Boris Nadezhdin, fl ed Russia and an- nounced his arrival in France on Monday, days after he was barred from running in parlia- mentary elections this fall. Nadezhdin was prohibit- ed from running after being charged with displaying “ex- tremist symbols,” part of the Kremlin’s ramp-up in pressure on opposition fi gures ahead of the September vote. In a video shot in front of the Eiff el Tower, Nadezhdin said he had managed to escape the country amid the repression of anti-war voices in Russia. “The good news is I’m alive and free. But sadly, not yet in Russia,” Nadezhdin said in the video, which was posted on the Telegram messaging app. Russian authorities had pre- viously barred Nadezhdin from leaving the country amid an on- going bankruptcy case against him and had branded him a for- eign agent as the Kremlin under- took a an eff ort to remove prom- inent anti-war politicians from campaigning for the parliamen- tary elections. Nadezhdin did not explain how he managed to fl ee the country. In an interview last month with The Washington Post, Na- dezhdin said he feared for his life and would seek to leave Russia at the fi rst opportunity. He said that his lawyer was appealing the travel ban and that he was withdrawing completely from opposition politics in Rus- sia because the government had made it impossible. “We know very well the fate of

Trump, who promoted her in- terview with Zelensky online. Trump has remained a steadfast fan of Loomer to the chagrin of some advisers, praising her dog- gedness and devotion to him. Trump, too, has been some- what more supportive of Ukraine of late, declaring at a NATO summit in July that he was comfortable with Kyiv strik- ing inside Russia and opening the door to letting Ukraine li- cense U.S. missile defense tech- nology. He has been warmer toward Zelensky, whom he once ejected from the White House, in recent months as Kyiv has resisted Russian battlefi eld ad- vances and menaced the Krem- lin deep into its territory. Following his own meet- ing with Zelensky on Tuesday, Trump said he wants him to end the war and stopped short of taking sides between him and Russian President Vladimir Pu- tin. “It’s very simple: I get along with both,” he said. “I get along with President Putin, I get along with President Zelensky.” Loomer said she hopes to convince Americans that Russia is the problem. After years of assailing Zelensky and opposing American support for Ukraine, Loomer returned from the coun- try a full-throated evangelist for a strategic alliance, tying its re- sistance to Russia with Trump’s war in Iran. “Russia is anti-American and their values are not our values, and they want multipolarity, which means the end of Amer- ican supremacy, which is not good for America,” she said in an interview — echoing points long made by hawkish politi- cians in both parties who have argued for strong international alliances and resistance to the Kremlin. If she were president, she said, the U.S. “would fi nd a way for the president of Russia to have a lethal and sudden heart attack.” She was publicly criticizing Zelensky as recently as last Sep- tember. “Ukraine is a country full of Nazi apologists and now it’s clearly a country led by a Jihadi apologist,” she posted to X after he met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the United Nations. Loomer’s attention-grabbing public conversion came days after Kyiv lost its most promi- nent advocate in Trump’s close circle, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), who died of an aortic dissection on July 11, the day after meeting Zelensky in Ukraine. Her stunning reversal marked a victory for Ukrainian eff orts to court American conserva- tives, countering years-long outreach by the Kremlin that

has sidelined many of the par- ty’s Reagan-era Russia hawks. A year ago, Zelensky and Olha Stefanishyna, now his outgoing ambassador in Washington, de- vised a strategy to reach MAGA infl uencers even if they were Ukraine skeptics, she said. “The outcome of her visit is impactful,” Stefanishyna told reporters Thursday, adding that she had the idea for Loomer to visit a bombed McDonald’s in Kyiv. “We expect that she will encourage everyone, you know, from President Trump to any- one else who would want to do it, to come to Ukraine to make the trip to see to see with their own eyes everything she saw.” The ambassador said that she had talked about Loomer’s visit with Zelensky when he arrived in Washington on Monday. “My president really had a lot of fun over this interview,” Ste- fanishyna said. “He had a very nice smile on his face” when they discussed it. But she declined to answer a question about the embassy’s role in Loomer’s voyage. Loomer said some American donors whom she declined to identify helped cover the secu- rity costs, but she received no foreign money. Loomer crowd-

Nadezhdin fi rst rose to promi- nence as an opposition politician when he campaigned against the war in Russia’s 2024 presidential election, winning hundreds of thousands of signatures in sup- port until the authorities refused to register his candidacy. In the interview with The
Post, Nadezhdin said he had faced pressure from the Krem- lin during the 2024 campaign but said what he is facing now is “much worse.” The government has also ramped up pressure on the lib- eral-leaning Yabloko Party ahead of the election, which is seeking to campaign under the slogan “For Peace and Freedom” — a
funds her work, earns income from her online shows, and also sells opposition research and vetting services. By Loomer’s account, her views on Ukraine started chang- ing gradually over the past year and a half as she noticed other right-wing podcasters spreading conspiracy theories and criticiz- ing Trump’s support for Israel and attacks on Iran, then being promoted by Russian state me- dia’s propaganda outlet, RT, and other pro-Russian social me- dia accounts. She increasingly clashed with anti-war infl uenc- ers online. “Russia is running a foreign infl uence operation on social media to sow chaos and divi- sion in American politics and to radicalize people, specifi cal- ly right-wingers,” Loomer said. “There’s a lot of conservatives who have been totally radical- ized and brainwashed by Rus- sian propaganda.” In June, Candace Owens and other right-wing internet per- sonalities traveled to Russia for an annual conference that Putin has long promoted as his coun- try’s version of Davos, the gath- ering spot for the global eco- nomic elite. That same month, a producer working with Loom-
pointed message against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s push for conquest. Last week, the Central Elec- tion Commission registered Yabloko’s participation in the September vote, but the party has been barred from running in urban strongholds where it is most popular, including St. Petersburg and the neighboring Karelia region. More than a dozen of Yabloko’s members have also faced charges they displayed allegedly extrem- ist symbols, including by making posts about Navalny, and as a result were barred from running in federal and regional elections. In Nadezhdin’s case, the alleged extremist symbol he was accused of displaying involved sharing a link to a video containing an im- age of Navalny. For his current campaign, Na- dezhdin collected signatures un- der the slogan “Peace. Develop- ment. Honest Elections. Strong Cities.” He campaigned for an end to Russia’s war against Ukraine and also for ending in- ternet restrictions, which have caused widespread anger across Russia. Nadezhdin was banned from leaving the country days after he told a prominent Moscow jour- nalist that he was worried about the consequences of his anti-war stance in an interview aired on “The Breakfast Show,” a YouTube channel. “If I were young and single, I’d go to prison without a sec- ond thought and keep pushing my line,” he said in the interview when asked about leaving the country. “But when you’re not that young, not in great health and you’ve still got kids to raise, you can’t help but think twice about it.”
er, Andrew Moore, attended a security conference in Odesa, Ukraine, and told her people there liked how she was calling out Russia. Loomer said that made her want to go herself. She planned the trip in se- cret, concerned about an Irani- an propaganda video focused on her and her photo being among target-style posters displayed at Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s funeral in July. Her arrival last month caused such a stir that Zelensky agreed to an interview that lasted more than 40 minutes. In the conversation, she pushed the Ukrainian leader to improve his messaging to Americans, especially on issues around neo-Nazism that Russia has promoted. “I just think you guys need to do a better job, maybe, empha- sizing to the international com- munity that it’s illegal to own Nazi paraphernalia here, that you’ll go to jail if you have Nazi paraphernalia, that it’s illegal to be an antisemite,” said Loomer, who is Jewish. She echoed that sentiment in meetings with his subordinates, posing for a photo with the dep- uty head of Zelensky’s adminis- tration in front of a whiteboard on which she had written, “I hope you will improve your rapid response and ability to communicate with Americans and President Trump about how grateful you are to Americans … Love, Laura Loomer.” She also left Kyiv, the fortifi ed capital city where there is usual- ly some warning ahead of Rus- sian airstrikes, to visit Kharkiv, a city close to the border with Russia that is far more danger- ous. While there, she interviewed Andriy Biletsky, the founder of Azov, a volunteer fi ghting group that was later absorbed into Ukraine’s formal forces, whose historical ties to white suprem- acists have long fueled Russian narratives that their Ukrainian opponents were neo-Nazis. Biletsky, a former ultra- nationalist politician who is now a brigadier general in the Ukrainian army, denied being a neo-Nazi to Loomer. She said she understood she was risking her physical safety as well as her reputation. Loom- er found herself in RT’s cross- hairs, and her sparring with anti-war podcasters intensifi ed. She returned to the U.S. arguing that MAGA’s isolationists were misconstruing Trump’s message and hurting U.S. interests. “We have nothing to gain from Russia, we have a lot to gain from Ukraine,” she said, repeating Zelensky’s arguments that Ukraine can help the U.S. by sharing its technology and expertise in countering Irani- an-made drones used by Russia. “It is ‘America First’ to support Ukraine over Russia in this war.”
IRAN FROM A1
It was far from the fi rst time since the war began on Feb. 28 that the two sides have off ered diff ering versions of reality on damage done by their dueling airstrikes, what they have agreed to in off again-on again infor- mal talks, or even whether those talks were happening. The confl ict, which offi cials originally said would last only a few weeks but is now entering in its sixth month, has dragged down Trump’s poll numbers. Growing numbers of Republican lawmakers and voters have ques- tioned both the rationale for the war and Trump’s strategy. Although Trump went into the war saying his goal was to de- stroy Tehran’s nuclear program — an objective he previously said was achieved after 12 days of U.S. and Israeli bombing last summer — Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz within days af- ter the confl ict began quickly be- came the focus of administration attention. The narrow waterway is a chokepoint, bordered by Iran and Oman in the Persian Gulf, through which at least 20 per- cent of the world’s energy sup- plies transit. Iran refused to let ships pass without permission, said it was going to impose tolls, and began mining the channel and shooting at commercial vessels. In April, the U.S. imposed a naval block- ade barring all ships from enter- ing or leaving Iranian ports. Iran continued to menace interna- tional shipping while Washing- ton responded by bombing Ira- nian defensive sites around the waterway and some infrastruc- ture farther inland, leading Teh- ran to fi re missiles and drones at its Persian Gulf neighbors that host U.S. military facilities. As the price of gasoline surged at U.S. pumps, the two sides agreed to direct talks in mid- April in Islamabad, with the U.S. delegation headed by Vice President JD Vance. Unable to reach agreement there, after subsequent lower-level nego- tiations they signed a 14-point memorandum of understand- ing in mid-June that included a

EVELYN HOCKSTEIN/REUTERS President Donald Trump takes questions from reporters in the the Oval Offi ce on Monday. He said Iran, along with other countries in the region, had “begged” for talks. But Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has said the country is not currently in negotiations with the U.S.
pull-back of the U.S. blockade, an easing of sanctions against Iran, and plans for Iran and Oman to jointly fi gure out a way to man- age the strait, while Washington and Tehran moved to nuclear ne- gotiations. The ceasefi re collapsed within weeks, largely over Iran’s insis- tence on continuing its control over the strait. The U.S. reim- posed its blockade and sanctions, as both sides resumed sporadic military attacks. In recent days, regional Arab powers — including Saudi Ara-
bia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar — have been in touch with Trump as they try to facili- tate an end to the confl ict, which is damaging their economies. Iran has also been reaching out to many of those same leaders. U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran is unlikely to change its own negotiating stance or be defeated in the near term. According to Tehran, there have been no direct negotia- tions with the U.S. since April, although both sides concede
that messages have been passed through regional mediators. Last week, Oman sent Teh- ran a proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz that would divide maritime traffi c 50-50 be- tween routes along their oppo- site coastlines. Muscat also sug- gested a system of “voluntary” contributions from nonprofi ts, interested states and companies to pay for navigational aid, main- tenance and environmental safe- guards for the strait. Similar to a process used by Singapore, Malaysia and Indo-
nesia, which border the Strait of Malacca, an international trade chokepoint between the Pacifi c and Indian oceans, the proposed system could be a face-saving way for Iran to move away from the tolls and controls that it has demanded and that Trump and other world leaders have said can never be allowed. In a press briefi ng Monday in Tehran, Foreign Ministry spokes- man Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran was negotiating only with Oman over ensuring the safe passage of commercial shipping through
the strait and that there were no talks with the United States. “The strait was not closed be- cause of disagreements between Iran and Oman,” Baghaei said. “It has faced disruption since last March due to the military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime” in Israel. In his Truth Social post Mon- day morning, Trump was dis- missive of the Iran-Oman talks. “They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg,’ talks begin, with more scheduled in the immedi- ate future,” he said of Iran, “and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any dis- cussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with ‘Oman.’” “They then go on to give their usual blather in saying, the Strait of Hormuz will be operat- ed powerfully by them,” Trump said. But the United States has erected a “wall of steel” with its naval blockade and “nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will be through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished.”

Some say smaller elevators could spark a housing boom
by Julie Z. Weil
SAN FRANCISCO — When Patrice Bratcher tried to find a new apartment, after five knee surgeries and a back surgery to treat injuries caused by her epi- leptic seizures, she knew that an elevator was nonnegotiable. But an accessible rental apartment wasn’t easy to find. “I was online, online, on- line, going nuts,” Bratcher said. “My laptop was like: if this girl doesn’t leave me alone!” Bratcher finally found a home in a San Francisco building spe- cifically geared toward people with disabilities. It’s run by a nonprofit, the Kelsey, which is part of a national movement to bring elevators to more residen- tial buildings. One way to do it, the orga- nization’s leaders say, is to pro- mote elevators that are smaller and cheaper. It’s an idea that’s catching on in a few states, but opposed by the U.S. elevator industry, as well as some safety profession- als and people with disabilities themselves, including Bratcher. U.S. elevators are so expensive that small apartment buildings rarely have them. That’s partly because the standard U.S. el- evator is designed to be large enough to fit a stretcher in case of emergency and to allow a wheelchair to turn around. Many cheaper European and Asian elevators aren’t. “It’s an untenable situation,” said advocate Stephen Smith. “There are many differences in construction costs between the U.S. and other countries, but I’m not sure there’s anywhere else where the difference is as large as the elevator.” In an exhaustive report two years ago, Smith documented that American elevators cost at least three times more than residential elevators in Western Europe and East Asia, in large part because American eleva- tors are about twice as large. As a result of their high cost, they don’t get built as often. He noted that Spain, with one-seventh the population of the United States, has a larger number of elevators. Sparked by Smith’s work, Maine removed some elevator safety requirements this year, and New York City is testing al- lowing existing walk-up build- ings to install elevators that don’t meet the standard size requirements. Washington state passed a law this year allowing buildings of up to six stories and 24 units to use smaller elevators. Similar proposals failed in the past two years in Connecticut, Indiana and Virginia. Fire departments and eleva- tor companies have opposed many of the proposed changes — which could allow Europe- an and Asian companies to sell their products in the U.S. mar- ket. “I don’t think that there is a problem in the United States,” said Amy Blankenbiller, exec- utive director of the National Elevator Industry Inc. “There’s this effort to make changes at the state level, and we think that’s risky. We think that has unintended consequences. ... The likely outcome is that there will be a conflict” with the many other elements of the standard U.S. building code, like plumb- ing and electrical rules, that also don’t match European norms. Blankenbiller said U.S. firms would be open to selling smaller elevators, but her group has op- posed most of the proposed state laws. “We’re not trying to unilat- erally oppose this as a concept, as an idea. We just want to go about it in a different way and
Flight attendants reach deal with WestJet
Canada’s second-largest airline, WestJet, has agreed to a tentative agreement with flight attendants to end a strike that led to hundreds of flight cancellations and thousands of stranded passengers over the weekend. The union representing the flight attendants said Monday that if the deal is ratified, the work that flight attendants do before flights take off will be recognized. The union, CUPE 8125, said that flight attendants will be returning to work now that the strike is over. The tentative agreement still faces a ratifica- tion vote.

not a piecemeal approach from one state or one jurisdiction to another.” Surprisingly to some people who wade into the dense world of elevator regulation, there are relatively few laws governing elevators. Most states either re- quire or suggest that buildings follow an industry-written set of standards called the Interna- tional Building Code (a mislead- ing name, since it’s popular in the U.S. but most of the rest of the world uses a different code). That code refers to a separate “technical standard” just for el- evators. Few federal rules govern what residential elevators look like. The Americans With Disabilities
WestJet canceled 495 flights Sunday, snarling travel plans in Canada in the middle of a long holiday weekend. A key issue in the dispute was how flight attendants should be paid for duties performed while still on the ground. The union said some of that work is unpaid, while the com- pany said they staff was indeed compensated, citing pay through a “credit hour” system rather than an hourly rate. The Canadian Union of Public Employees represents the 4,400 cabin crew at the airline. The tentative agreement comes after 250,000 travelers had their trips canceled, accord- ing to WestJet. Some passengers struggled to find accommodations while they were stranded away from home, and others were left unable to
Act governs public accommoda- tions such as hotels and office buildings, but doesn’t apply to elevators in residential build- ings. The 1988 Fair Housing Amendments Act required apartment buildings to have at least one accessible floor — which could be the ground floor, meaning no elevator would be required. The law mentioned that elevators could comply to a technical standard. But in the interpretation of advocates such as Smith and the Kelsey organization, it doesn’t actually require elevators to meet one specific standard or mandate a stretcher-capable size.

Trump lashes out at Chevron’s CEO
President Donald Trump on Monday morning accused Chevron CEO Mike Wirth of ingratitude and demanded that the executive lower prices as voter frustration with high gas prices mounts.

with gas prices averaging more than $4 for a gallon of regular. The global shortage of oil triggered by the war in Iran is driving up those prices — and oil company profits. As midterm elections approach, those high gas prices are a major factor for an electorate focused on af- fordability concerns. Democrats assign blame to Trump, noting the war’s role in driving up fuel costs that the president has con- sistently vowed will come down. Trump in turn is pointing the finger at the very oil companies with which he had been closely aligned. Following a Fox News inter- view with Wirth, Trump posted on social media: “The only thing he forgot to mention is that without the genius, foresight, strength, and stability of the TRUMP Administration, the Oil
often remain the most profitable option for developers. If elevators were cheaper, de- velopers might be able to make the numbers pencil out. More customers might be interested in upper-story apartments. Low- er costs to build and higher de- mand for the units might result in more small apartment build- ings, the kind that are common in Europe but rarer in the U.S. “The small multifamily build- ings, in America, simply don’t get built,” Smith said. “If you have a development site in America zoned for three stories, you’re not going to build an el- evator building. You’re probably not going to build multifamily at all.” Michael Andersen, an advo- cate with the Sightline Institute in Oregon, noted that small apartment buildings with eleva- tors might also appeal to people looking for a place to live as they age. “We want there to be less of a barrier to having an elevator in a building,” he said. “Right now, the United States has the fewest elevators in the developed world per person.” Bratcher, despite living in the Kelsey’s San Francisco building, doesn’t agree with the changes the group is pushing. Safety is top of mind for her. In her old apartment building, she suffered several seizures without a way to contact anyone for help. She urged the build- ing to install panic buttons, to no avail. She’s grateful that her bathroom now has one, and she doesn’t like the idea of skimping on elevator safety in any way. “We’re a city that has situa- tions, that may have an earth- quake. It may be a fire,” she said. “If you have to pay extra mon- ey for safety, then that’s safe- ty. That’s okay. Don’t go cheap and then, next thing you know, something happens.” When the idea of smaller ele-

Boeing 737 MAX-7 gets FAA certification
After nearly a decade of review, the Federal Aviation Administration on Monday certified Boeing’s 737 MAX-7 jet, clearing the smallest model in the aircraft family for produc- tion and eventual passenger service. Southwest Airlines, which has been waiting years for its delivery of 262 of the aircraft, is looking “forward to the plane entering service in the coming months,” a spokesperson said.
vators came up in her building’s community room recently, the entire table erupted in groans and overlapping objections. Rachel Tung was there. Tung, who has cerebral palsy, uses a wheelchair and needs help with many physical tasks. The acces- sibility of the Kelsey’s building allowed her to finally, happily move into her own apartment, out of her mother’s home, in her 30s. Still, when she goes out, she is always thinking about elevators. Her personal assistant, Michelle Cochran, said she’d had trouble using elevators at two different shopping malls recently with Rachel. Another time, Rachel and her mother, Linda, were invited to a friend’s apartment. When Linda saw the size of the elevator, she wondered whether she would have to push Rachel inside it alone, lean over her to punch the button, then run up the stairs to meet Rachel at the top and pull her backward out of the lift. She managed to squeeze inside with Rachel’s chair. “It was like acro- batics.” Cochran said smaller elevators wouldn’t work for people who need room to make a full turn so that they can push the buttons. (One proposed solution: Put the buttons on the side.) “There’d be no point for the elevator, because the people that really need it couldn’t use it,” Co- chran said. Andersen said the goal of the elevator reform advocates isn’t to reduce the size of the eleva- tors that Rachel already uses. It’s to create more elevators where there would otherwise be none at all. “We don’t want worse eleva- tors,” he said. “We’re only talking about smaller elevators in these smaller buildings that ... aren’t being built with elevators, and trying to get those buildings to have elevators.”
Before granting approval, the FAA said it required Boeing to incorporate key improvements in the jet, including updates to the flight-control software and the flight crew alerting system, as well as a redesigned engine anti-ice system. “The approval reflects years of sustained work to resolve complex technical issues and complete a thorough review of the airplane’s design and sup- porting safety analyses,” the FAA said in a statement. The certification was delayed in the wake of two crashes, in 2018 and 2019, of 737 Max jets that killed 346 people. The FAA said its safety in- spectors will remain on-site at Boeing production facilities to monitor the manufacturing of the 737 MAX-7 jets. — Liam Scott

new york — The U.S. stock market rallied to the edge of its all-time high Monday after eas- ing oil prices helped calm Wall Street’s worries that infl ation could get even worse. The S&P 500 jumped 1.5 per- cent and is 0.1 percent below its record set earlier this summer. It was coming off a frenetic July, when it swung up and down as oil prices shot higher because of the war with Iran, before ul- timately ending the month just about where it started. The Dow Jones Industri- al Average, which measures a narrower slice of the U.S. stock market, climbed 693 points, or 1.3 percent, to an all-time high,
while the Nasdaq composite leaped 2.1 percent. Stocks got a lift as the price for a barrel of Brent crude sank 4.7 percent to $83.77. It dropped after President Donald Trump said over the weekend that he decided to hold off on new strikes against Iran at the urg- ing of allies in the region. Brent’s price careened be- tween $72 and $102 last month as worries rose and fell about when the war with Iran would allow oil tankers to freely exit the Persian Gulf again to deliver crude to customers worldwide. The latest acquiescence by Trump helped to ease worries about the global fl ow of crude, and Treasury yields correspond- ingly fell in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury sank to 4.68 percent from 4.75 percent late Friday. It, though, remains well above its 3.97 percent level from before the war with Iran. Higher yields threaten to undercut prices for stocks and other investments, while slow- ing the economy by making bor- rowing more expensive for U.S. households and businesses. The average long-term U.S. mort- gage rate has already leaped to its highest level in a year. Monday’s ease in oil prices helped airlines and other com- panies with big fuel bills lead the market. United Airlines fl ew 5.8 percent higher, while Amer- ican Airlines climbed 5 percent. Norwegian Cruise Line Hold- ings steamed 6.6 percent higher. Boeing jumped 8 percent
after U.S. regulators certifi ed its 737 MAX-7 planes, clearing them for commercial service. Tyson Foods rose 2.8 percent after the meat company report- ed a slightly stronger profi t for the spring than analysts ex- pected. CEO Donnie King said strength is continuing in the company’s chicken business and its prepared foods, which include brands like Jimmy Dean and Hillshire Farm. It joined a lengthening list of big U.S. companies to deliver a bigger profi t for the spring than analysts expected.

Companies in the S&P 500 are on track to deliver earnings per share for the spring that are 47 percent higher than a year before, according to FactSet, with more than half of the com- panies in the index having al- ready reported.

If AI ends up producing less profi t and productivity than hoped, Big Tech companies could curtail their spending sprees on data centers that have helped chip stocks soar to tre- mendous heights. Micron Technology went from a drop of 6.4 percent to a gain of 1.7 percent through the day before ending with a gain of 0.8 percent, for example. It’s up roughly 190 percent for the year so far. All told, the S&P 500 rose 110.78 points to 7,600.50 and fi nished just shy of its all-time closing high of 7,609.78. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 693.38 to 53,178.41, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 540.04 to 25,913.90.

e isn’t coastal, but he is elite. Born to Egyp- tian immigrants in the tony suburbs of Rochester Hills, Abdul El-Sayed joked that he could “add two more letters to my name, which, by the way, are BS” after getting his fi rst de- gree from the University of Michigan in 2007. The credentials kept coming. Next was a DPhil in public health at Oxford and an MD at Columbia. He then moved back home to run Detroit’s public health department (2015-17); ran unsuccessfully for gov- ernor in 2018; became a self-described “bro with a podcast”; and then led Wayne County’s health de- partment (2023-25). After those quick stints, he had a revelation: “It was our broken politics that was making people sick.” El-Sayed, 41, is thus in the political mix again, seeking the open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan. The primary is on Tuesday. He doesn’t much like com- parisons to New York’s Zohran Mamdani, as he has often insisted to the press: “I’m running my cam- paign built for Michigan.” Nor does El-Sayed call himself a socialist. “I read Adam Smith,” he told me on July 26. “I’m a capitalist who understands how capitalism works.” The rhetorical dance makes strategic sense but doesn’t create any meaningful distance between him and anyone to his left. El-Sayed can reasonably be understood as the heir to Bernie Sanders-style populism. The Vermont senator has given his bless- ing to the campaign on account of his would-be comrade’s pitch: getting money out of politics, put- ting money in your pocket and passing Medicare- for-all. Additional El-Sayed priorities include abolish- ing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“a paramilitary organization”), taxing the wealth of billionaires (relentless tricksters “rigging” every facet of American life), and cutting off funds to Is- rael (a “rogue” genocide-committing state as evil as Hamas). That’s the progressive vernacular, and El-Sayed has won over the usual suspects, including Rep. Al- exandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California). Variations of their message have recently sold in reliably blue cities but haven’t been tested in the heartland. A victory in Michigan, where Donald Trump won in 2016 and 2024, would suggest real staying power for radicalism. The Sen- ate race is framed as a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party, a litmus test, because El-Sayed’s challenger, Haley Stevens, thinks her Midwestern state is still inclined toward moderation. Stevens, 43, was elected to Congress in 2018, de- feating a Republican in a strong Democratic cycle. She has held the seat since then — representing Oakland County, where she grew up, and slices of Detroit’s northern and western suburbs. Her ascent was less academic than El-Sayed’s. After graduating from American University in D.C., she fi rst worked for Hillary Clinton’s and then Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaigns. Stevens then became chief of staff to Steve Rattner, the “car czar” tasked with leading the Obama administration’s rescue of the Big Three automakers. The latter experience is central to Stevens’s brand. She calls herself a “manufacturing geek.” A populist? “Sure,” she says after a 7:30 a.m. Baptist church service last Sunday. “I’m an industrial pol- icy expert,” she says, one who’s all right with “re- jiggering our economic system in some respects.” That’s presumably a nod to her vote for the Chips and Science Act, the Biden-era law that sent up to $325 million in federal aid to a semiconductor fa- cility near Saginaw and off ered a 25 percent invest- ment tax credit for chip factories. Stevens is also keen to point out that she was named Michigan’s most eff ective Democrat in the House last year. Among her six bills that passed the chamber in the 118th Congress: a resolution urging Hamas to release the hostages it seized during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel and a bill to improve the FAA’s monitoring of severe air turbulence. It isn’t the stuff of social-media glory, but Stevens is hoping it’s evidence enough that she understands how to operate in Washington — or do what she describes to me as the “hard-nosed, sleeves-rolled- up work of delivering.” Democratic primary voters didn’t bite for months. It wasn’t until Mallory McMorrow — the lukewarm progressive state senator — exited the race on July 5 that the three-way contest narrowed to two and Stevens became competitive. El-Sayed’s consistent polling advantage seemed to evaporate; the Glengariff Group three weeks ago registered that Stevens was up seven points. Her camp might be tempted to view that as momentum. But Richard Czuba, the man behind the poll, tells me surveys as

alk into a second-grade classroom today, and it may seem like little has changed over the past few decades: Teachers still greet students at the door. Classrooms still have colorful rugs and educational posters on the walls. But the picture book the children are listening to isn’t being read by the teacher sitting beside them on the rug — it’s playing on an interactive white- board. The book itself isn’t even physically in the room. Instead, its pages (with added animations) are projected on a screen while audio narrates the text. Later, children wear headphones while click- ing through individualized reading lessons. After lunch, they each complete their own adaptive math activities on Chromebooks instead of gathering at tiny tables to solve problems together. These changes happened so gradually (and then so suddenly during the pandemic) that many par- ents don’t realize how diff erent many aspects of el- ementary school have become. And it all happened with little public debate. Today, nearly 80 percent of school districts issue kindergarteners, fi rst-grad- ers and second-graders devices or allow them to bring them from home.
Closing arguments in Michigan’s much-watched Democratic Senate primary
BILL PUGLIANO/GETTY IMAGES Top: Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Abdul El-Sayed and Sen. Chris Van Hollen at a campaign rally in Ferndale, Michigan, on July 25. Bottom: Rep. James E. Clyburn, Rep. Haley Stevens and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in Detroit on July 24.
of early last week are “frankly irrelevant.” The race is “extremely volatile.” (An Emerson College poll re- leased Thursday had El-Sayed up 15 points.) The path for Stevens runs through southeast Michigan and relies, in large part, on Black voters, who will compose some 20 percent of the elector- ate. Czuba found that she earned 67 percent of their support compared with El-Sayed’s 21 percent. It’s why Stevens was at a Teamsters union hall on Fri- day evening last week, rallying with South Caroli- na’s Rep. James E. Clyburn and reminiscing about 2009. “Hope! Barack Obama! Two hundred thou- sand jobs saved,” she exclaimed on the stump in her eccentric, if perhaps slightly aff ected, Michigan accent. “They were saying, ‘Who’s gonna shut out the lights in Detroit?’ We showed up!” Joe Tate, a Democratic state representative, ex- plains the appeal: “A lot of people in this room,” he says, motioning to the 100 or so mostly Black crowd, “remember the fi nancial crisis, the auto companies about to go under.” The 44th president is “a through line to all of the work — not only to what Haley did in his administration but also as a legislator,” Tate adds. “We’re just connecting the dots.” Keith Williams, chairman of the Michi- gan Democratic Party Black Caucus, tells me he is comfortable with Stevens, feels “secure,” and thinks she’s pragmatic. “Money out of politics? Be real- istic,” he says of El-Sayed’s refrain. “Health care? We got Obamacare. Let’s fi x that, build on that.” S
tevens is temperamentally of a piece with recent state history. As one Michigander de- scribed the last three senators to journalist Jason Zengerle: “Carl Levin looked like a used-fur- niture salesman, Debbie Stabenow was everyone’s hardworking aunt, and Gary Peters was as dry as an accountant.” They were popular — the last time a Republican won a U.S. Senate race in Michigan was in 1994 — and unfl ashy. Levin died in 2021, but Stabenow and Peters have both endorsed Stevens. So has Gretchen Whitmer: the two-term governor who beat El-Sayed by 22 points in 2018. “You gotta put solutions fi rst, and politics last, and you gotta get s--- done,” Whitmer told the crowd at the union hall. Consider that a plug for compromise, a sin among less-moderate corners of the party. A cen- tral feature of the governor’s speech, however, was electability. “We don’t hold this seat,” she explained, “we can’t fi ght back against Medicaid cuts,” “tar- iff s,” “skyrocketing gas and grocery prices,” “chaos and division.” She believes, and polling suggests,

Screens are no longer occasional classroom tools. They organize the school day. This isn’t simply a story about technology. It’s a story about what hap- pens when the medium through which children learn reshapes learning itself. Elementary school always taught more than reading and mathematics. Children learned how to wait for someone else’s idea to be expressed before sharing their own, to negotiate disagreements and explain their thinking. This was an essential aspect of growing up, it wasn’t just a nice byproduct of being in a classroom. When the relational aspect of learning is removed, the conditions that allow
that Stevens has a better shot at defeating former Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee, who lost by only 19,000 votes in 2024. That’s basically the logic behind Unite Here Local 24’s endorsement of Stevens. Its president, Terrell George, tells me about how the congresswoman has stood with his colleagues — 9,000 of the region’s hospitality workers — on casino and hotel strikes. “To be honest with you, we like both candidates,” he says. “But the strategic factor is: We have to hold this seat, and in a statewide race, we believe Haley is the one to do it.” It isn’t an ideological choice. I recall that in 2020, this local endorsed Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders in the presidential primary, and George’s predeces- sor publicly rebuked Medicare-for-all. Now, George says he’s “totally behind it” and that his outfi t will “1,000 percent be out knocking doors” for El-Sayed if he wins on Aug. 4. “I believe his agenda is where this country needs to be at.” El-Sayed won’t come close to winning the Black vote, but neither did Sanders in his primary victory over Clinton in 2016. He dominated in the outstate counties and among young people while cutting into the secretary’s strongholds in Detroit. It’s what El-Sayed is intent on replicating, and the music hall in Ferndale last Saturday suggests it’s a good bet. The couple hundred mostly young, mostly White attendees know exactly why they’re there. They are electric and loud, a table-thump- ing crowd, more than a fi nger-snapping one. Each guest — Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland — repeats the campaign’s signature bit: “Money out of … politics!” “Money in your … pocket!” “Medicare for … all!” It’s overdone but has the intended eff ect: Ev- eryone knows what El-Sayed is running on. The campaign is impressive, well-organized, with some 12,000 volunteers and more than 150,000 doors knocked. The dozen or so supporters I speak with that afternoon are united essentially behind the same vision. Meredith, a 40-something bartender who’s fi n- ishing her degree in social science, law and justice at Michigan State, doesn’t have health insurance. Her No. 1 issue is getting universal coverage nation- wide. Is she concerned that’s a pipe dream? “How many times have we been told that?” she says. “Democrats are going to take the whole Senate any- way; they’ve had enough time” to implement less
these skills to grow are also removed. Developmental psychologists have spent decades showing that children’s thinking matures through interaction with other people, not just through ex- posure to information. In many classrooms today, however, children learn individually through per- sonalized software designed to maximize effi ciency, and the individualized data it generates is shared with the teachers. These technological changes in elementary class- rooms might look like progress. Classrooms are quieter. Adaptive software promises individualized instruction at exactly the right level. To many, these are real benefi ts. But every decision involves trade- off s. When stories are delivered through videos in- stead of being read aloud by the teacher, something changes about storytelling itself. When mathemat- ics becomes a sequence of individual clicks rather than collective problem-solving, children lose op- portunities to hear diff erent ways of thinking. Even if some technologies improve some learn- ing outcomes under some conditions, is this the type of education young Americans need? Do we want classrooms organized by continuous digital engagement? Or do we want schools where chil- dren spend substantial portions of the day interact- ing and creating?

ambitious ideas like capping drug prices. Eric, a 30-something supply-chain manager, tells me he knows there aren’t enough votes in Congress for what he wants, but doesn’t mind. “I like El-Sayed’s argument when he says, ‘We can’t make change un- less we start talking about it.’” Listen, though, and the change on off er is often specious, sometimes even sinister. A good distilla- tion is a video advertisement in which El-Sayed is presented as Saul Goodman — the corrupt crimi- nal-defense attorney of “Breaking Bad” fame — who laments high costs while “your government is wasting your tax dollars abroad.” Like the TV law- yer, the candidate’s appeal depends on deception. Unlike Goodman, El-Sayed wouldn’t remotely be able to deliver on his promises. “Force the Supreme Court to rethink” its Citizens United decision on campaign fi nancing, for example, is a smart-sound- ing fantasy. El-Sayed does have a knack for rousing applause lines, though. Speaking of Stevens last month, he said, “At some point, when you sell out for that many corporations and special interests, I guess you for- get how to think for yourself.” On the stump at the music hall: “When AIPAC” — the American Israel Public Aff airs Committee — “drops $30 million on race, you know what that is? It’s a $30 billion down payment on a vote” for “genocide,” “apartheid” and “the goal of annexing Southern Lebanon.” That’s the go-to script, vilifying the nefarious powers pulling the strings. U.S. aid to Israel, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the federal budget, is what’s preventing money from being invested in Michigan education. The utility bill is high because the public-service commission — appointed by the Democratic governor and tasked with approving rate hikes — is bought by corporations. Ditto on health care, climate, whatever else. It’s demagogic retailing that has plenty of buyers. Jim, a 58-year- old former Ford employee, echoes what I hear of- ten: “Money in politics is inexplicably tied to cor- porations, which in many cases is inexplicably tied to Israel.” Many of the state’s roughly 300,000 Arab Amer- icans doubtless agree, and in the 2024 Democrat- ic presidential primary, 13 percent of voters cast “uncommitted” ballots largely to protest the Biden administration’s stance on Israel. El-Sayed joined that movement before eventually endorsing Kama- la Harris, and his continued contempt for Israel obviously gains him voters that he’s worried about antagonizing. A case in point: Will he continue to associate with Amir Makled, a candidate for the University of Mich- igan Board of Regents, who won’t disavow the Hez- bollah terrorist group? After a brief pause: “I’m a lot more focused on winning my race … and obviously, when I’m the nominee, I’m going to be campaign- ing with the Democratic ticket.” Yes, in other words. He adds that “if we want to dictate our local issues based on something happening 6,000 miles away, I’ve been clear about believing that all people have rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination.” T
hat’s a dodge, and to Fawn Chayet, 56, an in- sult. It wasn’t “something happening 6,000 miles away” when Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, the brother of an alleged Hezbollah terrorist who had recently died in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon, drove a pickup truck full of explosives into West Bloomfi eld’s Temple Israel in March. He killed him- self after exchanging fi re with security guards, and none of the 140 preschoolers in session nearby were hurt. Chayet’s son, Matthew, was at the synagogue that day, unharmed but traumatized. The brush with terrorism — and El-Sayed’s subsequent com- ment that “Hurt people hurt people”— is informing her vote. She’s a center-left Democrat supporting Stevens but will later turn out for Rogers, if need be. The congresswoman is aware of such voters, and it’s partly why she thinks she has a better shot in November. Spend some time with her, though, and it’s harder to understand what she’s for. “‘I’m the only one who can beat Mike Rogers.’ You know, what does that mean for Black people?,” asks Sher- ry Gay-Dagnogo, 59, the ombudsman for the city of Detroit. The talk of manufacturing is fi ne, “but how does that help us? Are we going to get access to better jobs? An infl ux of better transportation?” The details are presumably there, but they’re harder to hear. Stevens is less accessible, preferring to stop by small groups rather than command large crowds. There might be a virtue to that, and last Sunday, it brought her to Plymouth United Church of Christ, where maybe 75 congregants were wor- shiping. The only hang-up: The pastor had already endorsed El-Sayed.
The skills that will matter most in an artifi cial-in- telligence-powered future may be the ones comput- ers can’t cultivate: attention span, curiosity, judg- ment, empathy and collaboration. Attention span in particular is weakened when schools prioritize constant stimulation over intellectual endurance. As technology becomes more powerful, distinctly human capacities become more valuable, not less. Norway, a country that gave all students iPads in 2016, has begun reversing course, following a de- cline in reading scores. Some U.S. school districts and states are doing the same. Adults are realizing that schools that don’t give devices to children in early grades give them experiences they cannot ob- tain elsewhere. Children don’t need school to become more like the digital world. They are already immersed in that world for much of the time outside school hours. They need a place designed for other aims, such as conversation instead of consumption and collaboration instead of personalization. That isn’t resisting the future; it’s preparing children to be fully human in it.

Todd Blanche’s weaponization walk-back P
RESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S “weaponization fund” has been disarmed. Acting attorney gen- eral Todd Blanche on Monday formally rescinded his May memoran- dum, which would have created a $1.8 billion pile of money for paying Trump supporters without judicial or legisla- tive oversight. This is a good outcome. The fund was announced as part of a “settlement” be- tween the president and the government he leads over the leak of his tax returns during his fi rst administration. Trump was wronged by the leak, but creating a slush fund for political allies was not an appropriate remedy. Blanche signed off on the dubious arrangement as he tried to convince Trump to nominate him as Pam Bondi’s successor. Republican lawmakers revolt- ed, prompting Blanche to abandon the idea. But GOP Sens. Thom Tillis (North Carolina) and John Cornyn (Texas) weren’t satisfi ed, for good reason, with mere verbal assurances that the fund was dead. This formal rescission is part of Blanche’s campaign to get their votes, and it appears to have been successful. Both senators now say they’ll vote him out of committee on Tuesday. The weap- onization episode shows that checks and

YBERATTACKS targeting local water systems were reported in at least seven states last week, sending federal offi cials on a scramble to warn utilities of the threat. The episode is a frightening reminder of the urgent need to harden critical infra- structure. The FBI reported that hackers changed the passwords and network settings of multiple systems, preventing water operators from controlling their own equipment and resulting in pres- sure loss and fl ooding at some facilities, which can cause untreated water to en- ter distribution pipes. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reported that some utilities sent out boil water notices and were forced to operate their systems manually. Federal offi cials have not said where the attacks occurred or who is behind them, though they have all the hall- marks of an Iranian operation. Minne- sota and Michigan both publicly report- ed that several of their utilities were hit, and CISA recently warned that Iran has been targeting internet-connected tech- nology that is used to operate utilities. The intrusions prompted some un- helpful political sniping. President Donald Trump dismissed claims that Iran was behind the attacks, placing the blame on Minnesota’s government, which he called “grossly incompetent.” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) used that as an opening to attack Trump on the Iran war. That’s a needless distraction from a

HE U.S. GOVERNMENT just took ownership stakes in seven semiconductor start-ups, the lat- est example of the Trump admin- istration’s embrace of state capitalism. Using the Chips and Science Act as justifi cation, the administration will invest $874 million in technology com- panies focusing on semiconductor re- search and development. In return, the government will receive minority eq- uity stakes. Commerce Secretary How- ard Lutnick said the money will “keep America at the forefront of the semicon- ductor industry.” This is not the proper role of govern- ment. The free market is always better than politicians at effi ciently allocating investment capital. Republicans once understood the dangers of the federal government picking winners and losers, but the Trump administration has been hoovering up shares of private compa- nies at a rate that would’ve made Demo- cratic predecessors blush. The Biden administration used the Chips Act to throw money at companies but did not take ownership stakes — perhaps because the legislation did not

balances aren’t dead yet. At the same time, the fund (which nev- er came into being) is hardly the Trump Justice Department’s most serious misuse of government power. During Blanche’s time as deputy attorney gener- al, the department launched a series of abusive prosecutions and investigations. Perhaps the most appalling was the at- tempt to indict Democratic members of Congress for making a video criticizing Trump’s use of the U.S. military. That was core political speech made by members of a coordinate constitu- tional branch of government. A grand jury rightly rejected the indictments, but the department’s decision to seek them was an extraordinary abuse. If

serious problem: The United States has around 170,000 water and wastewater systems, which are increasingly auto- mated and vulnerable to attack. Such dispersed infrastructure is a strength, in that no single attack can bring down the country’s water sector. But it’s also a weakness, as smaller utilities with aging operational and IT systems often have limited resources or technical capacity to protect themselves. In 2024, the Government Account- ability Offi ce issued a report with rec- ommendations for the Environmental Protection Agency, which oversees water utilities, to confront this challenge. That included a call for a national cybersecu- rity strategy, and the EPA responded by completing a risk assessment plan early
explicitly allow for equity purchases. That omission from the law isn’t stop- ping Lutnick’s Commerce Department, which has purchased nearly $4 billion in ownership stakes since December. Af- ter this latest round of investments, the federal government’s total equity port- folio has ballooned to 30 companies, up from zero before President Donald Trump’s second term. The holdings include equity stakes in critical minerals companies, a “golden share” in U.S. Steel and a 10 percent po- sition in Intel, as well as $1 billion in a quantum computing project from IBM, among other risky ventures. It nearly in- cluded ownership of Spirit Airlines. Protecting critical supply chains is a reasonable goal. More than 90 percent of advanced chips are made in Taiwan, leaving the supply chain vulnerable if China invades the island. Roughly 70 percent of rare-earth mining is from Chinese companies. But mimicking China’s strategy of state ownership does not help America in the long term because it tilts the play- ing fi eld. It doesn’t even work for China, whose state-owned semiconductor com-

only GOP senators could have won more concessions from Blanche on lawless and vindictive prosecutions. But it’s unlikely that blocking Blanche’s nomination over the adminis- tration’s lawfare would have done much good. Because he was already confi rmed by the Senate as deputy attorney gener- al, Blanche could remain in an acting capacity. Trump also has wide latitude to in- stall other offi cials as acting attorney general if he is displeased with Blanche. Pardon attorney Ed Martin, for example, is a particularly enthusiastic crusader in Trump’s revenge campaign. Senate confi rmation could give Blanche more standing with the White House and others in the Justice Depart- ment. It might also give his decisions, good and bad, more force. The weaponization fund was a partic- ularly egregious example of a trick that both parties have played when they con- trol the executive branch: settling law- suits in extravagant ways to steer money to political allies. Senators used Blanche’s confi rmation to block one collusive settlement. The next step is to write legislation restrict- ing the amount of money the depart- ment can dole out without meaningful independent review.
last year. But those eff orts are volun- tary, and previous eff orts by the feder- al government to force local systems to improve cybersecurity resulted in legal challenges. Hopefully, the recent attacks jolt util- ities into taking their defenses more se- riously. Even a little can go a long way: The GAO found that many systems lack basic cyber hygiene, such as changing default passwords or updating operat- ing systems. The federal government can also help streamline the overlap- ping government regulations that hin- der utilities’ defenses. As artifi cial intelligence supercharges the cyber capabilities of nefarious ac- tors, Americans cannot aff ord operators to be asleep at the pump.
pany lags behind free-market players such as TSMC. The Commerce Department claims the equity stakes will “enhance the re- turn for the U.S. taxpayer.” What it does not say is that taxpayers are on the hook if these companies collapse. And if the government decides these companies are too important to fail and must be propped up, it further distorts the market. The most innovative and economically feasible projects might not succeed if the government plays favor- ites. Government stakes in private com- panies inevitably tempt public offi cials to enrich their cronies. Rare-earth mag- net start-up Vulcan Elements received an investment from Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital fi rm just before the fed- eral government took an equity stake. Months later, the Pentagon granted Vul- can a $620 million conditional loan. The Trump administration also an- nounced a $1.6 billion deal with USA Rare Earth, which does business with a company chaired by Lutnick’s sons. As the government’s portfolio grows, confl icts of interest grow with it.

What should drive civil rights law enforcement? The July 29 editorial “When govern- ing by spreadsheet, numbers become accusations” was on target in commend- ing the Education Department for its latest guidance on civil rights enforce- ment. Civil rights law exists to protect individuals from intentional discrimina- tion, not to force schools into governing by statistics or compromising classroom safety to meet artifi cial quotas. But this move is just the fi rst step. To guarantee equal opportunity and protect sound school governance, Education Secretary Linda McMahon should ensure that there are no lingering disparate-impact and -eff ect standards in programs and regulations. Schools must be allowed to enforce discipline and preserve safe learning en- vironments without the constant threat of federal punishment solely over statis- tical disparities in punishment. Failing to do so would impair the education of all students, especially those who would otherwise be forced to sit in classrooms where disruption and chaos drown out learning. Linda Chavez, Washington The writer is the chair of the Center for Equal Opportunity.
I served as the director of congres- sional aff airs of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from Febru- ary 1971 to March 1973. I worked close- ly with members of Congress and their staff s to assist in the enactment of the 1972 amendments to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Those amendments provided that, among other things, the commission could sue in federal court to require employers to follow the requirements of the act. They also allowed for the com- mission’s general counsel position to be fi lled by a presidential appointment. I was proud, and I am still proud, of the work we did to strengthen Title VII. Now there are reports that EEOC is once again taking steps to avoid doing its job under Title VII. The July 31 on- line news article “An unwritten federal policy is blocking workers’ discrimina- tion claims” said that EEOC “has qui- etly told administrative judges to not consider class action lawsuits.” During the fi rst 18 months of the second Trump administration, there have been oth- er indications that EEOC offi cials were not fully committed to carrying out the provisions of Title VII. It is disgraceful for the Trump administration and cur- rent EEOC offi cials to not commit to the mandate for which the commission was established in the fi rst place. Stephen C. Blakeslee Jr., Boyce
The Education Department was right to repeal its disparate impact regula- tions, which pressured school districts to make decisions based on race. I was once an attorney in the Education De- partment’s Offi ce for Civil Rights, and I agreed with the July 29 editorial that noted that the disparate impact regu- lations “treated statistical disparities between racial groups as suffi cient evi-

dence to trigger civil rights enforcement, even if there was no evidence that any particular person was intentionally mis- treated. The approach has made schools across America less safe by deterring administrators and teachers from dis- ciplining certain disruptive and violent students out of fear that they would be accused of racial discrimination.” Those regulations were of question- able legality under the Supreme Court’s 2001 decision in Alexander v. Sandoval. There, the Supreme Court noted that the Title VI statute “permits the very behav- ior” that disparate impact “regulations forbid.” And the court added that it was strange to claim that such disparate impact regulations further the purpose of Title VI, which prohibits only “inten- tional discrimination.” Hans Bader, Arlington
Regarding the Aug. 3 online news ar- ticle “Blanche’s AG nomination back on track after he formally rescinds payout fund”: Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) with- holding their support for Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general until Blanche “killed a key aspect of Presi- dent Donald Trump’s controversial deal with the IRS” off ered a rare example of Burkean conservatism in today’s Repub- lican Party. Edmund Burke, the founder of politi- cal conservatism, declared that an elect- ed representative owes his constituents “his unbiased opinion, his mature judg- ment, his enlightened conscience.” He argued that a representative must nev- er sacrifi ce these “to any man, or to any set of men living.” Cornyn and Tillis will depart the Senate in fi ve months, liber- ating them to exercise mature judgment without fearing retaliation from Pres- ident Donald Trump or from primary voters. This dynamic highlights why congres- sional term limits deserve serious con- sideration. They could empower more lawmakers to serve with the indepen- dence Cornyn and Tillis have demon- strated, rather than subordinating judg- ment to career survival. Nearly 90 percent of Americans sup- port term limits. Congress should be re- formed so enlightened conscience is the everyday standard, not a parting gift. T. Michael Spencer, Washington

What’s tucked inside the Senate’s Russia sanctions bill T
he Senate this week voted 86-12 to advance the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, named after the late South Car- olina Republican who co-authored the leg- islation. I’m a staunch supporter of Ukraine, and I have long argued for ramping up sanctions on Russia. But I don’t know whether to cheer or jeer as the bill nears passage. There are a lot of good provisions in the legislation but also two bad ones. It’s far from clear whether the good outweighs the bad, or vice versa. The positive sections would strengthen U.S. sanctions on “Vladimir Putin, senior Russian po- litical and military leaders, oligarchs, state-owned enterprises, and foreign companies supporting Russia’s defense industrial base,” according to the bill sponsors’ summary. The bill also “sanctions Russian fi nancial institutions,” along with “Russia’s largest state energy projects” and “their controlling owners and executives.” More sanctions would be imposed on anyone connected to the “shadow fl eet” that smuggles Russian energy products in violation of Western sanctions. Any company trading with a sanctioned Russian entity could be cut off from the SWIFT system, which enables most international fi nancial trans- fers. According to the Kyiv Post, “This SWIFT pro- vision could make trade with Russia toxic for many countries and businesses, since a trader caught vio- lating it would risk losing access not just to the US market, but to the means of conducting business anywhere in the world through the SWIFT system.” So far, so good. But keep in mind that President Donald Trump already has a lot of authority to impose sanctions on Russia. He just hasn’t used it much, because he has a soft spot in his heart for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. He could also avoid imposing the sanctions contained in the Gra- ham bill, because Section 115 grants him the power to waive any sanctions as long as he provides an explanation to Congress. So it’s entirely possible that the draconian sanctions in the bill would be watered down or never implemented. There is an even bigger problem in Section 113, which hands the president the authority to impose tariff s of up to 100 percent on the fi ve largest im- porters of Russian oil or natural gas. Russian goods imported into the United States would face an even higher levy — 500 percent. In June, the largest purchasers of Russian crude oil were China, India, Turkey, the European Union and Myanmar. The largest purchasers of Russian natural gas were the E.U., China, Japan, South Ko- rea and Turkey. (Within the E.U., the biggest buyers of Russian fossil fuels were Hungary, France, Spain, Belgium and Slovakia.) All those countries could face the 100 percent tariff . Japan, South Korea and the European na- tions might be exempt, admittedly, because the bill states that tariff s will not be imposed on countries whose natural gas imports constitute less than 15 percent of total Russian exports if they are also tak- ing “signifi cant steps” to reduce Russian imports.
W
hen President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year, much of the climate world declared America’s energy transition dead. The law rescinded most of the grants and loans from 2022’s Infl ation Reduction Act and phased out the wind and solar tax credits — just as the Trump ad- ministration rolled back regulations on fossil fuels. But the obituaries were premature, at least for the power sector. Yes, the administration’s policies will result in less clean energy and higher prices. But the energy transition was never a creation of statute. It’s driven by technological innovation, market forces, geopolitical competition and na- tional security imperatives. The direction is set- tled, and policy sets the pace. New research I authored, published at MIT, con- fi rms this: Averaged over the coming decade, about three-quarters of the clean electricity capacity that would have been added under the IRA and power plant regulations trajectory will still get built. And just over two-thirds of the power-sector emissions reductions will still occur. That’s an important fi nding for the climate com- munity’s strategy. The community’s instinct, when it wins back power, is to restore what was lost. But that mindset deserves scrutiny. My report demonstrates that the IRA, for all it delivered, subsidized mature technologies that the market would have deployed anyway. It underin- vested in reliable clean power and never touched the supply-side barriers that throttle both. Moreover, the context that produced the IRA — enthusiasm to combat climate change, cheap mon- ey and jobs-fi rst policy — is gone. Today’s politics revolve around soaring energy demand, exhausted fi scal capacity and aff ordability. Lawmakers will face hard trade-off s across policy priorities. So what should be the goals of the next era of climate policy? My analysis points to four answers. First, comprehensive bipartisan permitting re- form is the single-most important action to un- leash clean energy. Nothing else compares. Per- mitting hurdles are taxes that jack up costs for projects — and often kill them. Princeton Univer- sity’s Jesse Jenkins warned years ago that the slow rate of transmission build-out would forfeit over 80 percent of potential emissions reductions un- der the IRA. It has only slowed since. Predictable permitting — meaningful deadlines, rightsized judicial review and focused analysis — accelerates clean energy growth and raises the ceil- ing on how much can be built. Plus, such reforms require little-to-no public spending. Fail to take a deal this Congress, and the next climate-friendly administration will inherit no tools for moving fast. Second, resist the refl ex to extend the wind and solar tax credits. These subsidies do not make elec- tricity rates much more aff ordable for the house- holds and businesses that pay them, nor are they the savior to boost deployment. They treat symp-

But it would be up to the administration to decide what is “signifi cant.” The bill also allows — but does not require — the president to impose 100 percent tariff s on the top fi ve countries “facilitating Russian oil sanctions evasion.” It’s not clear which countries those are, but candidates include China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Armenia and Kazakhstan. Now Trump wants to add Iran tariff s to the bill too, al- though the U.S. imports almost nothing from that country. In sum, the legislation gives Trump an awful lot of authority to impose massive tariff s on a num- ber of countries, notably India and China, if they don’t cut off all Russian energy imports. They are unlikely to do so, because both India and China are heavily reliant on Russian energy — all the more since the U.S.-Iran war has reduced oil exports from the Persian Gulf. Trump’s eff orts to use 25 percent tariff s to wean India from Russian energy imports already failed last year. The problem is that there is nothing to stop Trump from imposing tariff s on any of those coun- tries for some other reason and using the Graham bill as legal justifi cation. He might even use the leg- islation to go after U.S. allies in Europe and Asia. Trump has a record of imposing tariff s based on pretexts. After the Supreme Court invalidated his “Liberation Day” tariff s in February, Trump slapped a temporary 10 percent duty on U.S. trade partners by citing bogus “balance of payment” concerns. When those tariff s expired in July, Trump replaced them with nearly identical levies that he justifi ed

toms and leave the disease — a reward for the projects that survive the ordeal of permitting and interconnection. My analysis fi nds that in 2031, the fi rst year af- ter the fi nal credit-eligible projects come online, solar capacity will trail the IRA and regulations trajectory by only 2.5 years. Credit extension is an expensive purchase for a modest good with an un- certain political shelf life. Renewables can withstand the credit phase- down. Demand growth, not the tax code, is the strongest incentive. With batteries, these mature, cost-competitive technologies make up 93 percent of annual capacity additions. The Trump adminis- tration has created near-term headwinds for those industries, but it cannot repeal the tailwinds that drive record deployment. Third, be honest about reliability requirements during decarbonization. The grid needs pow- er that is always available, and gas is the only cheap source that can provide it today. My report highlights an inconvenient truth: The fossil fl eet doesn’t shrink even as renewables grow. So the goal should not be to block gas, but to manage it. Pursue carbon-reducing measures such as a methane fee and intensity-based standards — policies the oil and gas industry generally backs. Meanwhile, disincentivize new off -grid gas gener- ation, which typically serves a single entity such as a data center. Keeping such power connected to the grid would force it to compete with clean elec- tricity while injecting much-needed capital into grid modernization. Fourth, go all-in on “clean fi rm” technologies
by claiming to be combating “forced labor.” Given the president’s penchant for igniting costly trade wars on a whim, the last thing that Congress should be doing is handing him more authority to impose massive tariff s. It’s like giving matches to a pyromaniac. “The Congress has clear constitutional authority over tariff s and should be curbing the president’s use of that power and its constitutional authority,” trade expert Edward Alden of the Council on For- eign Relations told me. “Instead, if this passes, it will further enhance Trump’s tariff arsenal. That is not a good thing.” That’s why many Senate Democrats were reluc- tant to support the Graham bill. Most ultimately came around because they want to send a strong message of support for Ukraine. President Volody- myr Zelensky lobbied personally for the legislation. I sympathize with the desire to squeeze Russia, but I also hope that when the House takes up the legislation in September, it will strengthen the bill by stripping out the tariff s and making other sanc- tions mandatory. The House should also fold in leg- islation backed by House Financial Services Com- mittee Chairman French Hill (R-Arkansas), which would force the Treasury to transfer frozen Russian assets under U.S. control (estimated to total $19 bil- lion to more than $50 billion) to Ukraine. There is no reason for Congress to pass deeply fl awed legislation when it can easily be improved. An unhappy Trump might veto it if the tariff s are removed, but if two-thirds of both houses support the revised bill, it will become law.
— geothermal, advanced nuclear, carbon capture and fusion. What ultimately supplants gas is not another solar farm but always-available clean pow- er. These technologies have bipartisan support for non-climate reasons: They are reliable, price-sta- ble and less geography-constrained, and the world would be eager to import them. But all are mid-commercialization and therefore must be top investment priorities. Their demand signal already exists — hyperscalers have signed deals supporting around 16 gigawatts of nuclear and geothermal — but their preserved tax credits off er neither the revenue certainty nor the capital needed to scale. Low-cost loans from the Offi ce of Energy Dominance Financing, in addition to fi rst- of-a-kind grant programs, merit increased funding next Congress. These four recommendations share the same fi s- cal logic: Stop spending public money on mature energy technologies and direct it toward the grid and innovation needed for deep decarbonization. Policies should be measured not by the ambition they promise but by the results they deliver. No actions are mutually exclusive. The question is one of trade-off s, eff ectiveness and durability. The climate community should build on what survived a Republican trifecta, not resurrect the playbook that got killed. The charge now is not res- toration, but construction. Build the wires, build the renewables waiting on the sidelines, build the clean power plants. Everything else is marginal.
beneath falling test scores
T
he latest report on U.S. public schools has the usual bad news. The Education Score- card put out by research centers at Har- vard and Stanford universities says read- ing and math scores have been in steady decline since 2013. Why bother to even mention it? Because some- thing important is changing. Resourceful teachers are creating a diff erent trend, rumbling almost un- noticed beneath the test score disappointments. I fi rst noticed this 30 years ago when I creat- ed a new kind of top high schools list, mostly to promote a book I had written. I called it the Chal- lenge Index. I was inspired by what I was seeing in low-income public schools where students were getting college-level courses in math, English, sci- ence and history and taking the fi nal exams de- spite the dumbing down common in many high schools. The list provided a ratio for each school: the number of these tough fi nal exams given each year, mostly by the College Board’s Advanced Placement program, divided by the size of each school’s graduating class. The fi rst time I did it, only 1 percent of high schools — just 243 of them — gave more of the exams than the number of graduating seniors. But that number kept growing. Newsweek mag- azine and then The Post were publishing the lat- est Challenge Index list annually, and over time the number of schools giving more exams than they had seniors increased. By 2019, the Chal- lenge Index included nearly 12 percent of U.S. high schools. Something else changed, too. In 1998, the top 20 schools served mostly children from affl uent families, such as Richard Montgomery High in Rockville, Maryland, or North Hollywood High in California. Two decades later, the top of the list included mostly low-income schools, many of them charter schools such as the KIPP schools founded by Dave Levin and Mike Feinberg or the IDEA schools started by JoAnn Gama and Tom Torkelson. According to the College Board, the growth has been huge, though largely little noticed. Just 94,000 students from low-income families took AP exams in 2003. By 2025 the number was nearly nine times as large — 845,000. In 2003, 11.6 per- cent of AP students came from low-income fami- lies. By 2025, that number was 27 percent. I found clues of this transformation at Garfi eld High School in Los Angeles, where I watched the work of classroom magician Jaime Escalante, who was celebrated in the fi lm “Stand and Deliver.” I noticed there were many other teachers at that school who lacked Escalante’s charisma but found ways to accustom students to longer school days and more demanding lessons. Throughout the country, more and more teach-

ers helped students build skills that produced good scores on AP tests, as well as college-level exams like International Baccalaureate. Many stu- dents told me that even when they failed to pass AP or IB exams, they still learned more by strug- gling with the challenge. It has taken a while for educators and parents who feared pushing kids too hard to appreciate this. Some principals told me they could make their courses just as demanding as AP. Often this proved untrue. Teachers found it diffi cult to make fi nal exams as hard as AP’s. Most schools erected barriers to taking AP. At Garfi eld, students making C’s in their ninth and 10th-grade classes were encouraged to try AP. But in wealthy Westchester County, New York, where I spent much time, C students were barred from college-level courses. I still found students who rebelled against that. One Westchester student with a mediocre record decided to take AP U.S. history on her own. She got the textbook, bor- rowed friends’ assignments and passed the test, the College Board being happy to give its demand- ing tests to whoever would pay the fee. Darren Johnston at Carmel High School in Cal- ifornia told me he and his colleagues had to fi ght to remove barriers to AP enrollment for ordinary students. But the results were clear: After four years, the number of AP students had increased by 50 percent and the school’s passing rate on the exams improved. A 2008 study by Texas researchers Linda Har- grove, Donn Godin and Barbara Dodd debunked the theory that AP students do better in college only because they are naturally better students. The study showed that in English, calculus, bi- ology and history, students with low SAT scores who received only twos on their AP exams, below the passing level of three on the exams’ fi ve-point scale, did better in those subjects in college than students with similar SAT scores who did not take AP. Chloe Kilzi, then a senior at Issaquah High School in Washington state, told me she felt lucky, despite weak grades in science and math, that her school encouraged her to take AP physics and AP calculus BC. At her previous school in Chicago, she would have needed good grades and teacher recommendations, a common bar to AP partici- pation. She went on to study engineering physics in college. American schools continue to suff er from the tendency to tolerate mediocrity. Compromises are sometimes seen as the only way to get through the day. But the steady movement of demanding college courses into high schools is changing atti- tudes, making American schools in many places better than they were.

lionaires strangling progress for working people. The stakes are particularly high for their broader mission: a progressive primary win in a swing state — not just Democratic strongholds like this year’s wins in New York or Denver — holds potential to accelerate the movement. While some younger, pro- gressive members of the Con- gressional Black Caucus in D.C. are with El-Sayed, powerhouses in the Black political establish- ment have sided with Stevens. Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-South Carolina) and the Congressional Black Caucus, along with a roster of estab- lishment Democrats in Michi- gan, endorsed her. A super PAC funded by the pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Aff airs Committee has spent more than $30 million boosting Stevens — its most ubiquitous ad high- lights her ties to former Presi- dent Barack Obama during the Great Recession, when she led an auto rescue critical to the state’s workforce. Though Obama has not pub- licly weighed in on the race, the ads have left the impression Obama endorsed Stevens. It’s one of the reasons Lawton was not interested in Sutton’s pitch for El-Sayed. She said she thinks the moment calls for the sort of unity Obama represents, not a fi ght within the Democrat- ic Party. “We don’t have time for that s---,” she said on her porch a few minutes after Sutton moved on to knocking other doors. “Pick- ing the right candidate is hard enough, but the monkey wrench that El-Sayed is throwing into the mix is irritating me to high heaven.” The progressive movement turns her off , Lawton said, not because she disagrees with its policy goals but because the timing feels wrong. She said she fears it’s more likely to end in defeat to Republicans than bet- ter lives for her community. “I’m not a Bernie fan. I’m not into AOC,” she said. “Stevens has been here. The message of shak- ing up the system we’ve been fi ghting for since I’ve been vot- ing? No. I don’t really see any- thing wrong with Haley’s fl ow.” Later, El-Sayed said in an in- terview he could probably win over Lawton in 15 minutes if she would hear him out. “If she thinks Obama sup- ports Haley, then what she’s received is the cynicism of that style of politics,” he said. “Unfor- tunately, it’s eff ective. Because it tells people that anyone who’s going to try to fi x it defi nitely doesn’t have a plan, and it’s bet- ter at least that you stop it from getting worse than you actually try to make the diff erence.” Sutton had smiled when Law- ton shut him down, and as he continued down the block he said he knew what he was up against. People are used to dys- function, he said. “Since it’s been like this for so long, they think it’ll just be like this. They’ve lost hope. That’s what I can try to work on,” he said. Sutton attends Oakland Com- munity College, where Lawton, coincidentally, works as a job coordinator. He said he hopes to fi nd his way into the Air Na- tional Guard. In separate inter- views, Sutton and Lawton both said they worried about the country’s future and the econo- my’s health. Sutton said he connected to the El-Sayed campaign through his church. He was sold on the message that ridding corporate money from politics was crucial to forcing politicians to focus on solutions, he said. He off ered a door hanger to a man walking down the side- walk. “He doesn’t want corpora- tions buying out politicians,” he said, referring to El-Sayed. At a rally for volunteers be- fore Sutton went canvassing, Pontiac City Councilman Mikal Goodman, the former chair of the Detroit chapter of the Dem- ocratic Socialists of America, told the crowd El-Sayed under- stood the ways Black people in Pontiac have been fi ghting for dignity and resources. El-Sayed said he doesn’t consider himself a democratic socialist. Yet members of that movement embrace him and his calls for Medicare-for-all and taxing billionaires. “There is nothing that I’m compromising on to vote for that man, and that is what makes me so excited,” Goodman said. When he goes to vote, “I will not be carrying a barf bag. At least for that race.”

BLOOMBERG/GETTY IMAGES Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Michigan), right, visits Plymouth United Church of Christ in Detroit last month. She faces Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive primary opponent.
ALI LAPETINA/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST El-Sayed is a former public health offi cial who has built a broad grassroots coalition. Stevens is the establishment pick.
Spending in the primary has broken records and climbed above $80 million, with El- Sayed outspent 8 to 1 on televi- sion, according to the political tracking fi rm AdImpact. His supporters said the mon- ey — much of it from super PACs spent on attack ads — has been fueled by desperation from an establishment fearful El-Sayed could spark a strong progressive movement in a swing state, acti- vating voters who start swaying other elections, the way New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s victory did. “If we can make that hap- pen here, it’ll change our whole state,” said Chris Gilmer-Hill, a Detroit-area activist and legis- lative candidate supporting El- Sayed. But some Black voters are skeptical that El-Sayed’s “money out of politics, money in your pocket, Medicare-for-all” slogan would materially change their lives, or attract enough general election voters for Democrats to win. Appealing to that sentiment, Stevens casts herself as a prag- matist. ”I’m not off ering slogans or false promises. I’m off ering a path to win,” Stevens said out-
side Plymouth United Church, a Black congregation in Detroit where she sang hymnals and danced. “We can’t just be fi ghting for the sake of fi ghting,” she said. From a pew in the back, busi- ness owner Jai-Lee Dearing, 53, said the economy and politics are “the worst I’ve ever seen it.” “There’s a sense of hopeless- ness. There’s no way out. We have a president who cares more about himself and his

family than mine,” Dearing said, adding he had no issues with El- Sayed but wanted a senator who had already learned how Wash- ington works, and he liked Ste- vens’ record of accomplishment. “We just need to have some- one who can hit the ground run- ning,” he said. Georgia Johnson, 75, stopped Haley outside the church to tell her “every time we see your face, I know there is hope.” Johnson said her choice was simple: “I’ve
heard nothing but good about her on television, especially from President Obama. He is the stamp of approval for my vote.” Detroit Councilman Scott Benson, who described himself as an “unapologetically centrist, moderate Democrat” backing Stevens, stopped Thoris Marie Walton, 82, after the service to ask who she’d picked. ”Who did you think I voted for?” Walton retorted, saying she picked Stevens. “I didn’t need anyone to tell me. I’ve been watching.” Benson said the progressives’ message they want to upend or reform or burn down the system is frustrating to a lot of Black people who see the critique as coming “from a place of privi- lege.” “It’s easy to yell and scream and fi ght,” he said. “My com- munity, the system has never favored us. And we found a way to make opportunity within it.” At an El-Sayed event later that afternoon, Detroit Council- man Denzel McCampbell called that an outdated perception. “The system is irreparable, and I would rather be in a place where our folks don’t have to fi ght day in, day out,” McCamp-
bell said. “We are tired of fi ght- ing. We are tired of asking for what we already expect from our government.” Stevens has rolled out a pol- icy plan aimed at investing in Black communities and said she’s attuned to voters, having seen people break down in gro- cery stores over the cost of food. “Voters have every right to feel frustrated,” Stevens said. “Things that should have changed, haven’t.” After a recent El-Sayed ral- ly in Ferndale, Elouise Sirleaf, a Black community organizer with Michigan United, said she gets annoyed every time she hears Stevens talk about her work on the auto rescue, which saved 200,000 auto jobs but did not stem the foreclosure crisis. “I lost my house. We lost en- tire neighborhoods, but the corporations were bailed out,” Sirleaf said. “This is what we’re looking for in candidates today: where’s the humanity versus the corporation?” Leslie Mathews, who works with Sirleaf, interjected: “Please tell me, and I’m being kind: What has Haley done for the African American communi- ty?” Mathews said. “Has Haley Stevens talked about money in politics? She hasn’t said a mum- bling word.” Mathews said she met El- Sayed during his failed bid for governor in 2018, when he asked for her support. “I said, ‘Absolutely not. I don’t know you,’” Mathews said. But he also asked her to take a walk with him and discussed his views about economic insecuri- ty and the need for healing in politics. (He wrote a 2020 book “Healing Politics” that elabo- rates on those themes.) “If Abdul doesn’t get in, Mich- igan loses,” she said, adding she would never vote for Stevens, even against a Republican.

return. Is it worth the wait?
BY THOMAS FLOYD
There’s a moment early in the fourth season of “Ted Lasso” when Keeley Jones, the bubbly marketing guru played by Juno Temple, stands before AFC Richmond’s shareholders and announc- es the launch of the English soccer club’s long-gestating women’s squad.
“This has been three years in the making,” Keeley says, “and we’re finally here.”
The character, of course, is referring to the time it took to get a pro soccer team off and running. But the meta-remark also acknowledges the obvious: The Emmy-winning comedy has been off the air for three years ahead of its return Wednesday on Apple TV.
It’s a case study in modern streaming.

After “Ted Lasso” followed up its ac- claimed 2020 debut with a second sea- son less than a year later, the third installment came after a 16-month hia- tus. Now, this fourth season marks a soft reboot as “Ted Lasso” returns with a new assignment for Jason Sudeikis’s folksy coach and a refreshed cast.
It speaks to streaming’s fluidity that a hit series can follow such an irregular release pattern. Nowadays, streaming is divided between the flash-cooked satis- faction of annually released shows and those cinematic series that may simmer for years between seasons.

“Shotty” follows Reid’s debut single, “Clean Sweep,” continu- ing a music journey she has pursued over the past year. So far, she has recorded more than 25 songs.
Reid said she hopes to focus work on her first EP after wrap- ping production on Teyana Tay- lor’s feature directorial debut “Get Lite,” giving herself time to shape a project that tells a cohe- sive story. She’s releasing music independently through her label, 1720 Music, saying the approach gives her greater creative free- dom while leaving the door open to partner with a major label in the future.

Reid said ownership also gives her an opportunity to create doors for other artists.
“It’s the most powerful thing,” she said. “I want to sign people. I want to sign songwriters and producers and artists, and give them opportunities.”
Music has quickly become as important to Reid as acting, a career she’ll continue with up- coming projects including Netf- lix’s “Roommates” and “Get Lite.” Preparing for Taylor’s film pushed Reid outside her comfort zone as a dancer, challenging her to become more comfortable as a performer.
It’s a skill Reid hopes will eventually translate to perform- ing her own music.
“It’s as big and as important as acting is,” she said. “It’s something that I want to con- tinue to do and want to contin- ue to grow at.”

Reid said years in Hollywood prepared her for criticism.
“People didn’t feel like I de- served to win an Emmy, but it’s still sitting in my house,” she said. “It’s still in my mama’s house, so I don’t really care what people say.”
Since releasing “Clean Sweep,” Reid said she has largely stayed away from reading online com- ments.
“I don’t want to get distracted or discouraged,” she said. “Mostly I’ve been so thankful. The senti- ments have been really nice and people have been supportive. … I’m excited and can’t wait for them to hear more.”
For Reid, music has become more about who she’s always been.
“Not everything is gonna be perfect. Not everything is gonna be prim, proper and pristine and eloquent,” Reid said. “Like yeah, that’s a part of me, and I can do that, and I can do it really well. But also … this is me too.”
hands from B1 on this stuff, and our technologies are only going to get more as- tounding, but does it lead to last- ing happiness or meaning or pur- pose? That’s where the question mark is,” Puder said.
As people age, their skin gets thinner, revealing bone structure and wrinkles; they can even devel- op sunspots or hyperpigmenta- tion around the knuckles.
But her clients don’t usually come in asking for hand treat- ments. Instead, it’s almost a ripple effect caused by the new standard of beauty for aging women.
It starts with Botox and filler on the face, something that is com- pletely normalized today. Studies have shown a 4 percent increase in neuromodulator injections (like Botox) within one year, according to a 2024 report from the Ameri- can Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Many women notice their face no longer matches their neck and chest, and once they fix that incon- sistency, they look to other places to close the gaps created by aging. That’s where hand treatments come in.
“It’s per person, per goal be- cause everybody is so different. It’s typically like a combination [of treatments]. Mostly women come in because of volume loss,” Ve- lazquez said.
Skin boosters, calcium-based filler and microneedling are just a few treatments people seek.
Ewoma Ukeleghe, a cosmetic and medical doctor, says skin boosters, such as hyaluronic acid, give instant results by restoring volume lost in the skin.
“Skin boosters are a real meta- phorical gateway drug to hand rejuvenation. You’re piercing the skin, which is intense. However, you get that instant payback of plump, soft, hydrated-looking skin,” Ukeleghe said.
Ukeleghe says the conversation surrounding hands has increased over the last year. On TikTok, one of her most popular videos is about topical treatments for “dry, old looking hand girlies.”
She agreed it’s about looking the same age across areas of the body but also part of a larger trend.
Psychiatrist David Puder said the antiaging craze was present long before social media. What people are newly using to their advantage is these highly techni- cal procedures, which leave them satisfied on the outside but not always on the inside.
“You could spend a lot of money
Dear Carolyn: My daughter and her husband eloped a few months ago. This was not one of those elopements where the couple secretly lets a few people in on the secret — this was done entirely privately, with both families completely in the dark. My daughter explained to me that this decision was about protecting themselves from the groom’s mother, who can be very difficult and pushy (I can attest this is true). As much as I understand their reasoning, I was still very sad and disappointed not to have been involved in my daughter’s huge milestone.
Carolyn Hax
My daughter is now saying they want to have a big party this fall to celebrate their marriage. She has grand ideas about venue, head count and special touches, making this basically an after- the-fact wedding reception. She has asked her dad and me if we will pay for some of it (realistically, almost all of it).
Carolyn, this is my baby, and I want all good things for her. I have given her everything I have for her entire life. But I am recoiling, hard, at the idea of spending five figures of money on a party for a wedding she didn’t want to invite me to. I feel as though I learned something new about where I fit into her intimate circle; she and her husband actually did have one friend each attend their elopement as witnesses. And I cannot find a spirit of generosity about the idea of bankrolling this party.
She and her husband have already been living together for a couple of years, so their lifestyle isn’t really changing, and they will have been officially married for several months at the point she is targeting … there’s just nothing about it that excites me.
WN_Fix It_3x10.5
And so I wonder what to do. Offer her an amount of money I’m comfortable parting with as a wedding present, and let her throw her own wedding? I think she envisions me consulting with her on dresses, flowers, yada yada, but why now? Only because of the costs? My husband is saying to just zip it and open my purse.
— Feeling Used
The harmful side of these anti- aging trends is how it shifts the beauty industry. Some messaging on social media triggers people to think cosmetic surgery gives them value as a human, Puder explains, making treatments less of an indi- vidual choice and more a societal pressure.

Gemma Sharp, a psychological
Kristin Leite, a master estheti- cian, said her TikTok audience expresses interest in hand care in the comments section, and the topic comes up more frequently after she posts a video about it.
“My older gals ask about hands all the time. But once I do a video on it, people think about it, like, ‘Oh wait, let me do that to my hands,’” Leite said.
Her golden rule for taking care of her hands is treating them like her face. This includes her daily skin care routine and rotating in- tensive treatment once a week, such as a chemical peel or mi- croneedling, which has been very effective for her.
For Leite, it’s not about promot- ing treatments that are specifical- ly about antiaging but expanding awareness of skin care for areas like the arms and legs.
“Everyone wants to look as
carrying over your disappointment about X to the point of shutting the door on Y, especially when it may eventually cost you Z.
The couple had a reason for eloping — a good one that had nothing to do with you. You said it yourself. I do understand that it was hurtful to be shut out. But I also can see the value, because it gave them deniability with his mother, forever. They can say honorably: “No one knew — just our two witnesses.” (Imagine the fallout if the bride’s parents knew?!) Needing that tight circle for their protection and integrity would mean your daughter also wasn’t telling you anything meaningful “about where I fit.” So it sure looks from here as if you’ve let your hurt feelings jump to conclusions without full support from the facts.
To extend that now to calling the party “a wedding she didn’t want to invite me to” is exactly what I mean by carrying your pain from its source to a whole new venue. I’ll even acknowledge the significance again of X, missing out on a child’s milestone. I do get it. For all you know, though, your daughter did want you there. But anticipating conflict from the groom’s mother, she explicitly conceived Y, the post-party, and invited you to help her plan it. Why shut that down, too? Can’t it be a couple’s improvised solution to a complex
good as they possibly can, espe- cially for their age. Some people want to look way younger than [they are], but it’s about looking the best because then you feel your best.”
To Puder, a social media algo- rithm of antiaging could be “nor- mal.”
“Guys will study bodybuilding for hours and watch people squat and deadlift. Some other people might study aesthetics for hours,” he said.
Some may reach a level of ob- session, causing an issue with their body image.
Gemma Sharp, psychological science professor, sees antiaging swinging on a pendulum of princi- ple. Some utilize antiaging treat- ments for self-care while others have a more excessive focus on appearance.
“[This] can become distressing or interfere with quality of life, particularly if it is driven by unre- alistic expectations or underlying body image concerns,” Sharp said.
She said as beauty standards are ever-changing, the cosmetic industry capitalizes on features that were once ignored.
“Rather than assuming this re- flects increased vanity, it’s more accurate to say it illustrates how ideas about appearance continue to broaden and change,” Sharp said.
So what’s next? Leite and Ve- lazquez predict knee care will be the next trend.
“With weight fluctuation, espe- cially with GLP-1s, we’re losing volume and muscle, right? So a lot of people are walking around with creepy knees, and there are really no surgeries for knees,” Velazquez said.
Maybe knees will be the new focus of antiaging cosmetic treat- ments. Or maybe, at least accord- ing to reality mega star Kim Kar- dashian’s Instagram, it’s feet.
Kardashian recently posted an Instagram story in honor of her late grandmother, which got the internet talking. She wrote, “And for anyone that knows my grand- ma knows she had the most young beautiful feet in the world and she would want everyone to know lol,” with a photo of her grandmother’s perfectly pedicured feet side by side with her other famous sisters’ feet.

emotional challenge, instead of your personal exclusion?
You propose just coming up with a dollar figure and handing it to her. Yet that would make real your worst thoughts about your daughter, that she wants you only as a wallet. Plus, one of your reasons for being unexcited — their cohabitation — would have applied to a wedding, too. So that just sounds bitter.
Fact recap: good reason to elope in secret; wants to include you fully now; same expenses as wedding (right?), merely delayed. So if you want to, you have grounds to file your disappointment under “nothing personal” and just roll with it. With a budget cap, sure.
Or you can choose to carry a grudge into the party.
But be mindful of Z, the couple’s marriage from here, and all the places it will take them and new people it will introduce. Imagine it as a journey. Grudges are heavy, and you’re much more likely to ride along with your daughter if you can travel light. (Unlike the groom’s mother, ahem.)

streaming from B1 In streaming era, shows take their time
returned in June, but “The Bear” was on its fifth and final season while “House of the Dragon” was debuting its third. In the spring, the zeitgeist-tapping drama “Eu- phoria” aired its send-off season after four years off the air. The Emmy-hoarding comedy “Hacks” also said farewell — having re- leased four of its five seasons during that “Euphoria” hiatus. The medical drama “The Pitt” and the mystery-box thriller “Severance” are both filming their third seasons, though the former debuted in 2025 and the latter has been airing since 2022.
Those spaced-out shows are among the most beloved on tele- vision. But keeping up with a series after a long pause can be easier said than done. Last month, Bloomberg reported on Netflix’s struggles to retain view- ers for second seasons. One likely factor: Many of the series taking lengthy breaks between seasons are the same ones that rely on intricate plotting and complex characters to enchant audiences.
“I won’t name them, but there’s two or three shows where my wife and I were like, ‘We loved Season 1, and we don’t have the energy to go back and catch up on every detail,’” says John Hoberg, an executive producer on the dystopian thriller “Paradise” who is married to his writing partner, Kat Likkel. “That’s a bummer.”
The trend picked up steam in the early 2010s, when Netflix began pouring resources into prestige shows and the HBO blockbuster “Game of Thrones” raised audience expectations. As other streamers invested in origi- nal series and Hollywood’s top talent embraced long-form story- telling, more cinematic shows populated the landscape. With an uptick in scale came more loca- tion shoots. Grander visual ef- fects. Bigger-name actors.
HBO
“TV became more ambitious,” says Jen Statsky, a co-creator of “Hacks.” “It takes more time to shoot, it takes more time to edit, and you simply can’t stay on the cadence of coming out as often.”
Certain shows have proved worth the wait. When “Stranger Things” returned for its fifth and final season last fall, after three years away, the 59.6 million views

in the first five days set Netflix’s English-language record. The second season of “Severance” — also released after a three-year wait — yielded the best viewer- ship in Apple TV history before snagging eight Emmys. “House of the Dragon” returned this sum- mer to series-best reviews and a marginal viewership decline, which was chalked up to compe- tition from the World Cup.
“They’re aiming for the pro- duction quality of a Hollywood feature,” says Caetlin Benson-Al- lott, a Georgetown University professor who specializes in film and media studies. “One of the things that’s implicit here is if you want cinematic television, then sometimes you’re going to get seasons that come out on the schedule of movie sequels — not linear TV seasons.”
It’s why YouTubers such as Brendon Boutin — a.k.a. Man of Recaps — have carved out a niche jogging viewers’ memories. A vid- eo editor by trade, Boutin began creating recap videos when he was the “Game of Thrones” ob- sessive answering his friends’ questions about all of the charac- ters, locations and plotlines they’d forgotten between sea- sons. In 2019, his primers for the final season of “Game of Thrones” and the big-screen Mar- vel blockbuster “Avengers: End- game” each yielded more than 2 million views — convincing him of the enterprise’s endurance.
The formula is simple: After cutting together highlights from past seasons of shows such as “Bridgerton” and “The Boys,” or past movies in ongoing film fran- chises, Boutin turns the camera on himself as the footage rolls and he speed runs through the plot points. He delivers his un- scripted narration with unbri- dled enthusiasm and a dash of irreverence. Although some multi-season recaps clock in at a half-hour, most of his videos hover around the 10-minute mark.
“When a show comes back out and it’s been two, sometimes three years, the ‘previously on’ that you see just doesn’t cut it,” Boutin says. “I try to bring you through so it feels like you’re doing a full rewatch of the season but in a very short time, because that’s what it takes these days.
You binge it all in a weekend, and then two years later, it’s like, ‘I couldn’t tell you what’s going on.’”
But those recaps aren’t neces- sary for unicorns such as HBO Max’s “Hacks,” which reliably came out every 12 months while consistently gleaning strong viewership, critical acclaim and awards adoration. (The third sea- son, released after a nearly two- year hiatus, was delayed by the Hollywood strikes and star Jean Smart’s heart procedure.) Last month, the final season set a comedy series record with 24 Emmy nominations.
“It was always a conversation for us,” says Paul W. Downs, who created the show with his wife, Lucia Aniello, and Statsky. “We always wanted to deliver the show on a cadence that felt like it was reliable to the viewer. But also we always wanted to make the show in the way that we had and maintain the quality — if not exceed the season before.”
To Downs, Aniello and Statsky, that meant a straightforward sac- rifice: giving up their nights, weekends and vacation time. “We have maybe 48 hours between seasons, and I’m not exaggerat- ing,” Aniello says. “It is very taxing on the mind, body and soul. But it really has worked for us.”
After the writers’ room knocked out eight or nine scripts for a 10-episode season, the cre- ative team would plunge into production while polishing off the remaining scripts, prepping upcoming episodes and editing footage as it came in. Between that exhausting but efficient ap- proach and the half-hour sitcom’s relatively uncomplicated prem- ise — about the love-hate rela- tionship between a seasoned stand-up comic and her Gen Z protégé — “Hacks” repeatedly hit its annual deadline.
“We do treat our show like every episode is a movie,” Downs says. “It’s just we don’t have an hour of material, and we don’t have dragons to add, and we don’t have — I’m looking for a joke — the self-preservation not to work on weekends.”
Hulu’s “Paradise,” on the other hand, was always envisioned with a “big network 2000s quali- ty to it,” says producer and writer

Hoberg. Focused on an under- ground society in a postapocalyp- tic United States, the pulse- pounding series features myriad characters, parallel timelines and no shortage of lore. So creator Dan Fogelman and his collabora- tors pledged to regularly release episodes to help the audience follow the twisty narrative and swiftly pay off its season-ending cliff-hangers.
“From the beginning, we want- ed this to be a show that our nephews would watch and that our aunts would watch and our
ROOFING • SIDING • WINDOWS • DOORS • INSULATION • GUTTERS HOMEGENIUSEXTERIORS.COM
uncles would watch,” Hoberg says. “One of the things we were talking about was, ‘My aunt’s not going to stick around for two years and then try to remember everything.’”
One key to achieving that: Hulu green-lit the writers’ room to start working on the second and third seasons months before the previous season had aired, let alone been renewed. Had the series flopped, it would’ve been a sunk cost. But once the renewal order came in, Hoberg says the show was positioned to get a
“rolling start” on the next season — scouting locations, designing sets, finalizing scripts — before diving back into production just a few weeks later.
“You need to have a bit of a network television approach, in some ways, mentally, to do that,” Hoberg says. “But I do hope, just as a viewer and someone who loves the business of television, that it becomes more of the norm again, because I think audiences want it.”
If “Paradise” has traded any quality for expedience, you wouldn’t know it. Viewership in- creased with every episode of the second season, which counted a nomination for outstanding dra- ma series among its seven Emmy nods.
Could the success of “Para- dise,” “Hacks” and other annual Emmys darlings — such as “The Pitt” and “The Bear” — leave a road map for streamers? Or will viewers continue to accept lengthy waits in exchange for top-tier television from the likes of “Severance” or “House of the Dragon”? It’s a question Statsky answers by circling back to her storytelling instincts.
“People still, at the end of the day, do respond to authenticity and originality,” she says. “So that’s the only thing that can guide us at this point.”

BIRTHDAY | AUGUST 4: You’re strong-willed, intelligent and dynamic. You’re also independent, influential and a seeker of knowledge. This year is about creating solid foundations in your life, both external and internal. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise is important. Explore martial arts or yoga.
Moon Alert: Caution! Avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and impor- tant decisions from 2:15 p.m. to 11 p.m. After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have lots of mental energy today because the Moon is in your sign dancing with your ruler fiery Mars, which pushes you into a leadership role. It makes you feel independent and ready to chall- enge anyone who challenges you. (Oh yeah.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Focus your energy on home and family today. Although, you might be best served working alone or be- hind the scenes because you’re keen to work hard to boost your earnings. This is also a gentle, social day that is sweet for romance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Sports and competitive physical activities might appeal to you today, especially with friends, teams and groups. At a less energetic level, you’re also keen to talk to others and share your ideas. Short trips and a chance to learn something new will intrigue you.

HOROSCOPE
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re noticed today. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Ironically, you might be a bit bossy because you want your way in some things. Because of this, you will stand up to bosses and others who challenge you. (Remember courtesy.)
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today you can explore new ideas, meet new people and learn new things. Politics and controversial subjects might also appeal. If so, you will speak up. Because most of this day is a Moon Alert, don’t volunteer for anything.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be caught up in discuss- ions about shared property, shared wealth, inheritances, taxes or debt. If so, this is a poor day to agree to anything important. (Check the Moon Alert.) Get your information. Do your homework. Wait until tomorrow to act.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might attract someone to you today who is feisty and a bit aggressive but interesting. See what they have to say; it might be enlightening in some way. Nevertheless, because most of this day is a Moon Alert, do not agree to anything important.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and work! This is why you might de- legate to others and be a bit bossy. Keep in mind that most of this day is a Moon Alert, so stick with the sch-

hot in first practice with pads
BY TASHAN REED
For the first time during train- ing camp, the Washington Com- manders practiced with pads Monday. While there was no tackling to the ground, the heightened physicality allowed for a more thorough evaluation of the team, particularly for the linemen on both sides of the ball, running backs and linebackers.
Here are four takeaways:
Jayden Daniels’s quick start
The first competitive period was a goal line drill. The offense got off to a strong start with a pretty touchdown where quar- terback Jayden Daniels hit wide receiver Terry McLaurin on a fade route. McLaurin beat cor- nerback Mike Sainristil with a nice release off the line of scrim- mage, hauled in the pass and tapped his toes in the back of the end zone.
On the next snap, however, the defense bounced back. Daniels’s initial read wasn’t open, and defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw got home for what would have been a sack.
Next up was a move-the-ball drill starting from the defense’s 30-yard line. The offense mostly focused on the run game and quick-hitting passes.
The highlight of the session came when Daniels bounced around the pocket to create extra time before firing a bullet to tight end Chig Okonkwo in the back of the end zone for what would have been about a 20-yard touch- down. The pass was a little low, so Okonkwo had to make an impressive diving catch to finish the play.
“That was him throwing me open,” Okonkwo said. “I was trying to keep that defender there. I didn’t want to react too quick and let him turn around. I was just waiting for the ball to get all the way to me when he wasn’t looking.”
The starting defense spent a lot of time in its 3-4 base, with Sonny Styles at middle lineback- er, Leo Chenal at strong-side outside linebacker and Frankie Luvu at weakside linebacker. That made sense with the offense running so often, but they proba- bly will use their nickel package more frequently in live games to avoid mismatches through the air.
A balance in red-zone drill
During a seven-on-seven red zone drill, Daniels found McLau- rin again for his third touch- down of the day. McLaurin beat cornerback Amik Robertson on the outside and made a leaping grab.

Baltimore Sun
BALTIMORE — Moments before his MLB debut, catcher Adley Rutschman took 10 seconds for himself.
Rutschman, seen as the savior of Baltimore baseball since he was selected No. 1 overall in the 2019 draft, had arrived. He stood be- hind the plate and took a visual lap of Camden Yards, his new home, before putting on his mask, squat- ting down and embarking on his journey as a big league baseball player.
A little more than four years later, Rutschman won’t get to do that any longer as an Oriole at Camden Yards.
The Orioles on Monday made the stunning decision to trade Rutschman, their franchise cor- nerstone catcher, to the Boston Red Sox. In return for the catcher,

The DC Open was granted an uncommonly favorable week of weather for much of the tourna- ment, but the good luck ran out for the finals. The men’s and women’s singles finals were pushed to Monday after hours of delays Sunday that left the wom- en’s match unfinished and the men’s unstarted.
A decent chunk of the crowd returned to Rock Creek Park for Monday’s matches, bolstered by an offer for free access to the first 1,000 fans who arrived at the William H.G. Fitzgerald Tennis Center before play resumed.
In the women’s final, 21-year- old Alex Eala of the Philippines pulled off a three-set comeback against Jessica Pegula, the 2019 champion in Washington and current world No. 3. Eala’s 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 victory secured her first WTA Tour title.
On the men’s side, Taylor Fritz and Rafael Jodar began their final just before 2 p.m., nearly 24 hours after initially planned. Fritz, ranked ninth in the world and a 10-time ATP Tour title
who is under team control through 2027, the Orioles received right-handed pitchers Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon, outfielder Enddy Azocar, catcher Carlos Narváez and a player to be named. Boston also received vet- eran catcher Jake Rogers, whom the Orioles acquired in a deal with the Detroit Tigers last week.
The move could signal the end of the post-rebuild era in Balti- more, which Rutschman ushered in with his debut May 21, 2022. From almost the moment he ar- rived, the Orioles became a con- tender, surpassing expectations that season to be in the wild-card race before claiming the American League East title in 2023 and win- ning 91 games in 2024.
But that was the apex for Rutschman and the Orioles, who were swept out of both playoff series before struggling in each of

in the wake of FIFA plan
BY GRAHAM DUNBAR
Associated Press
NYON, Switzerland — Europe- an soccer body UEFA threatened FIFA with legal action over Gian- ni Infantino’s failed plan to sell a stake in future World Cup profits to private investors and said any potential evidence should not be destroyed.
Infantino’s secretive proposal to raise $4.2 billion from inves- tors including the New York investment firm of Joshua Kush- ner was dropped early Saturday, days after the revelation in me- dia reports provoked a global furor.
UEFA led the backlash, and on Thursday, its 55 member federa- tions met to agree on boycotting all FIFA events and competitions

losing streak hits six
BY DANIELLE ALLENTUCK
PHILADELPHIA — The Washing- ton Nationals players tried to go about their business as normally as possible Monday afternoon, even as the minutes ticked closer and closer to the 6 p.m. trade deadline.
They carefully sidestepped around Foster Griffin in the club- house, who sat facing away from his teammates, his fingers tapping constantly on his phone as his future hung in the air. On the field, the coaches huddled together on the third base line in a tight dis- cussion. Manager Blake Butera stepped away multiple times to pick up calls, then periodically checked his phone in between bat- ting practice throws. As players ran through the dugout, they asked for the time, noting how many minutes were left.
The Nationals had already said goodbye to Curtis Mead, one of the team’s most productive bats, after he was traded to the Boston Red Sox on July 25. On Sunday night, the Nats had an emotional parting with Luis García Jr., the longest- tenured player on the team. Play- ers shared one last plane ride to- gether from Atlanta to Philadel- phia, then lined up to hug him one by one before García got in a car to New York to join the Yankees.
“I’m really sad to see him leave, especially everything that he’s gone through with this organiza- tion,” Andrés Chaparro said through an interpreter before the Nationals’ 6-3 loss to the Phillies on Monday night. “He’s a guy that brought a lot of energy and a lot of happiness to this clubhouse. He will be missed.”
Thirty minutes before the clock struck 6 p.m., and just over an hour before Washington opened a four-game series in Philadelphia, the team made one last trade, sending Griffin to the Cleveland Guardians. The deal brought back three pitchers — left-handers Josh Hartle and Will Dion and right- hander Kendeglys Virguez — as well as outfielder Nick Mitchell.
Griffin is a free agent after this season, and after the García trade, it was all but a given that Griffin would be moved, too.
“It’s sad losing Foster,” said An- drew Alvarez, who was able to sneak in a quick goodbye before his start Monday. “He’s been an awesome mentor to me, someone who I’ve looked up to a lot, and I’ve picked his brain a lot.”
The Nationals were, until last week, undecided on their posi- tioning at the deadline, president of baseball operations Paul Toboni said. Washington is unexpectedly

Now, lawyers for UEFA have informed FIFA that the Europe- an body is “actively considering legal action, arbitration, and/or regulatory complaints … arising out of and in connection with the [FIFA Forward Enterprise] plan proposed by FIFA and all related matters.”
The letter dated Friday from the legal firm Dechert in New York was seen Monday by the AP.
The letter named 18 FIFA executives who it said should retain data, documents and elec- tronic messages as potential evi- dence. They include Infantino, Zurich-based chief finance offi- cer Thomas Peyer and Arsène Wenger, the coaching great who is FIFA’s head of global soccer
More teams enter field for U.S. Open doubles
Tennis
An additional 13 teams, one featuring Venus Williams and some consisting of married couples, entered the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship.
The new duos announced Monday by the U.S. Tennis Association raised the total to 29 teams for the 16 spots in the main draw, which will be held Aug. 25 and Aug. 26.
Williams is partnering with Alexander Bublik for the tournament that was overhauled last year, with a $1 million prize to the winning team, in an effort to get top singles players to compete.
Elina Svitolina and her husband Gael Monfils, who is expected to play his final Grand Slam event at the U.S. Open, and newlyweds Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur also were among the new entries.
Teams can enter until Aug. 17, when the six duos with the best combined singles rankings at the time will be automatically entered into the main draw. …
Venus and Serena Williams are set to make their Cincinnati Open doubles debut this month after being awarded a wild card, marking their return to doubles action for the first time since 2022.
The Williams sisters last played doubles together at the 2022 U.S. Open. Last month, they had to withdraw from the doubles draw at Wimbledon as Serena, 44, dealt with a knee injury.

Mauricio Pochettino plans to coach the U.S. through the next World Cup, but “you never know what can happen,” he said.
BY RONALD BLUM
Mauricio Pochettino is staying with the U.S. soccer team, agreeing Monday to a four-year contract through the 2030 World Cup.
The 54-year-old Pochettino, who took over the national team in October 2024, led the Americans to the round of 16 at this year’s World Cup, where the tourna- ment co-hosts were eliminated in a 4-1 loss to Belgium.
Still, he helped the seeded U.S. team to a pair of firsts in the expanded 48-nation tournament, clinching advancement from the group stage with a game to spare and winning three games in a single World Cup. The team captivated Ameri- can fans with excited audiences in stadi- ums and record television viewers.
“The magic thing that happened dur- ing the World Cup, the connection with the people, of course with the whole organization and everything was a key point,” Pochettino said during a Zoom news conference from his home in Barce- lona.

Hours earlier, Infantino had withdrawn the divisive proposal, which offered FIFA’s 211 member federations one-off payments of $20 million each with a mid-Sep- tember deadline to accept.
The FFE spin-off, valued by FIFA at $20 billion, would have taken control of the soccer body’s moneymaking commercial and tournament operations through at least 2038.
It promised to more than double development money over that time for the 211 members, who already effectively own the Zurich-based nonprofit govern- ing body.

“We have the talent,” Pochettino said. “We were so close. That gap with the best teams in the world is not too big.”
Pochettino said there is potential to make soccer in the U.S. “grow and grow and grow and be one of the important [sports] in America, like it is in the rest of the world.”
“We have players and organization that can compete with the best organiza- tion in the world in that sport,” he added. “We learned that the fans are amazing, and when they were so excited to discover a sport, that made our fans become crazy, no? The connection was amazing.”

When Pochettino replaced Gregg Ber- halter two years ago, he signed an initial contract through the 2026 World Cup. Pochettino said ahead of the tournament that he had discussed a possible new deal with the soccer federation.

Irish and Trojans agree to renew rivalry in ’30
The Notre Dame-USC college
man, FIFA’s chief operating offi- cer Kevin Lamour said in a stinging statement Friday to the AP. Lamour said staffers felt deceived by their boss, Infantino.
Legal proceedings are “rea- sonably anticipated,” UEFA law- yer Andrew J. Levander wrote, citing the belief of soccer stake- holders that the plan was “funda- mentally incompatible with the proper governance of football.”
UEFA has been most outspo- ken against Infantino, its former employee. The Asian Football Confederation also made strong statements to oppose Infantino’s plan, as did Concacaf, the North and Central American and Carib- bean soccer body.
football rivalry will start again in 2030.
The schools said they agreed to a four-game home-and-home series. Notre Dame will play in Los Angeles on Aug. 31, 2030, and the Trojans will visit South Bend, Indiana, on Aug. 30, 2031. The meetings in 2032 and 2033 will be played in the first three weeks of the season.
The teams met in each non-pandemic season from 1946 to 2025, typically in October or November, in what became known as “the greatest intersectional rivalry in college football.”
The 2030 date opened up when defending national champion Indiana canceled a home-and- home series with the Irish that was scheduled for 2030 and 2031, a person with knowledge of the decision told the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because it hadn’t been announced.

Infantino’s path to stabilizing the presidency he has held for 101/2 years was unclear Monday, which began in New York with a report that he was seeking sup- port from the administration of his close ally, President Donald Trump, possibly in a call with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

later in the drill, and Daniels hit him in stride for another score. On the next play, Styles got a win for the defense with a nice pass deflection off Daniels’s pass.
While running with a reserve unit in the same drill, wide receiver Antonio Williams flashed with a touchdown catch on a fade route.
Competitiveness ratchets up
The following team period was an 11-on-11 red zone drill. On the first drive, cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon helped get the of- fense off the field with a diving, one-handed pass breakup.
When the backups came in, wide receiver Jaylin Lane hauled in a touchdown from quarter- back Marcus Mariota. On a later possession, he caught another touchdown from quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis. It was Lane’s best practice of camp so far.
On the starting offense’s next possession, safety Jeremy Reaves nearly came up with a leaping interception but couldn’t bring it down. Despite the missed oppor- tunity, the defense went on to come up with the stop.
During an 11-on-11, move-the- ball period, defensive end Charles Omenihu got quick pres- sure up the middle and forced Daniels to escape the pocket. Outside linebacker Odafe Oweh chased Daniels down, which led him to throw the ball away to avoid a sack. On the next play, Omenihu and Oweh combined for a sack. Later on during the same drive, Sainristil broke up back-to-back passes to help the defense get another stop.
Takeaways and injury news
Overall, it was easily the best practice the offense has had in camp thus far. Daniels was on the money, and the pass catchers did a better job of creating separation.
The downside: The offensive line continued to have issues both in pass protection and the run game. As has been the case throughout training camp, the defensive line outperformed its

winner, beat Jodar, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4, to win his first 500-level title since 2022.
After the match point, Fritz flung his racket to the court and dropped onto his back. Coming into the tournament, he was 0 for 3 in finals this year, so this victory felt good.
“It was more like I was tired. It was just relief, like thank God I got it done, thank God the match is over,” a grinning Fritz said of his reaction after he won. “It wasn’t so much as, like, a celebra- tion. Just thank God I’m done. I can just lay down for a second.”
Pegula and Eala’s match, origi- nally scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday, was moved forward to noon in anticipation of the eve- ning’s bad weather, but the rain came early and rarely let up. The noon start became 3 p.m., and they got through one set and three games of the second before the rain started to fall again.
After more than five hours of the second delay, play was called for the night at about 9:15. The women were on serve in the second set, with Eala up 2-1 but Pegula’s service game coming next, when the day ended.
The tournament honored Sun- day’s tickets for anyone who wanted to come back Monday, in addition to the free access for early arrivals. The 7,500-seat sta- dium was nowhere near full, but the vast majority of those who did turn up were in full-throated support of Eala.
“The crowd today was really loud,” Pegula said. “Honestly, sometimes I’m just so in my own world, I don’t quite notice how crazy it is, because I feel like my perception might be different than people sitting in the crowd. It was really nice to see a really big turnout today. I think for a Monday final, that was really nice to have. Even though it didn’t go my way, I think it was really still a great atmosphere.”
The remainder of the second set was tight, but when Eala broke Pegula’s serve to win the set 6-4, her Filipino-flag-waving fans started to sense the outcome they were hoping to see.
Eala raced through the third set, while Pegula offered little resistance. The 21-year-old quick- ly went up 5-0, then had a triple break point on Pegula’s serve to win the match. Eala couldn’t convert the first opportunity, but at 40-15, their short rally ended with Pegula missing a backhand wide.

counterpart.
The run defense was stout throughout practice, and the running backs didn’t have much room to create. The defensive line did a good job of maintain- ing gap integrity, while the line- backers were quick to trigger and make plays close to the line of scrimmage.
In the passing game, the de- fensive line was able to win frequently off the edge while also creating a consistent push up the middle of the pocket. Oweh cred- ited defensive coordinator Daronte Jones for making it clear when players can go all-in on the pass rush and giving them free- dom to improvise along the way.
“He’ll really home in and tell us on the plays when we can go,” Oweh said. “A lot of times, you got to guess and pick and read your keys and stuff like that. But he really lets us know. He puts it in different categories: These are the plays where you can go straight, pin your ears back and

just go. For you as a good player, you got to understand how you can manipulate that and how you can play chess with the offensive line when you have those calls with that freedom. Daronte does a good job of just compartmentalizing each call.”
While Chris Paul was en- trenched as the starting left guard through the first week of camp, the Commanders shuffled the lineup Monday and inserted Brandon Coleman. Paul beat out Coleman for the starting job last year, but it’s an open competition once again as both players rotat- ed throughout practice.
There was also more shuffling than usual at cornerback. Rob- ertson and Sainristil started most drills as the starting out- side duo, but the coaching staff frequently worked in a duo of Witherspoon and Rasul Douglas as well. Sometimes, the corner- backs would swap out within the same drive.
Linebacker Kain Medrano
missed the first week of training camp with a hamstring injury but was medically cleared Mon- day, activated from the physical- ly unable to perform list and returned to practice. During an 11-on-11 red zone drill, Medrano picked off Kaliakmanis.
Center Nick Allegretti (calf), tight end John Bates (ham- string), defensive end Dorance Armstrong (ACL), defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. (quad), corner- back Trey Amos (fibula) and punter Tress Way (pectoral) missed practice Monday. Coach Dan Quinn said Amos and Way will be reevaluated Thursday.
Julian Good-Jones has been working with the starting lineup in Allegretti’s place. The Com- manders signed center Trey Hill on Sunday for some added depth, but Quinn said that’s not a reflection of a heightened con- cern over Allegretti’s injury. On Saturday, he said he expects Allegretti to miss about a week of practice.
Safety Bryant may miss
up to 10 weeks for Bears
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago Bears starting safety Coby Bryant went out during one- on-one drills Monday with an ap- parent leg injury and left the field in a cart during the team’s first practice with pads.
Bryant, the former Seahawks player who was acquired in free agency, was working against tight end Cole Kmet in one-on-one drills and clutched his left leg near the knee. He was able to get in the cart on his own power, but the scene was scary for the Bears, who are depending on Bryant’s speed in a revamped starting secondary.
The team hasn’t announced the nature or severity of the injury, and Coach Ben Johnson spoke Monday before practice. Howev- er, ESPN reported Bryant could miss 8 to 10 weeks with a hyperex- tension, bone bruise and small fracture.
“You know, it always sucks to see,” tight end Colston Loveland said of the injury. “That’s part of it. You know, he’s tough, he’s a dog. He’s going to be fine.

“We’re not worried about it, but I don’t know. We’ll leave that [prognosis] to coach Johnson.”
Bryant was replaced at safety by both Cam Lewis and Gervarri- us Owens. His role is also critical because he is a veteran playing alongside rookie starter Dillon Thieneman at the other safety spot. The Bears signed Lewis as a free agent from Buffalo, while Ow- ens was on Chicago’s practice squad last season.
The Bears did get one piece of good news when running back Kyle Monangai returned to prac- tice briefly after missing three straight workouts with a soft tis- sue injury. Monangai ran for 783 yards on 169 carries with five touchdowns last season as the No. 2 back behind starter D’Andre Swift.
“We’re taking it day-by-day right now,” Johnson said. “We’re working through it. He’s working hard with his rehab, and it should be on the shorter side here.”

As she registered the miss, Eala fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands. Overcome with emotion, she jogged to the net to share a brief hug with Pegula, then dropped back to her knees.
“I was so nervous. I kind of just blacked out,” Eala said. “Every- thing just came rushing to me, and I was really nervous before the last couple of points. I was really trying to channel those nerves into hitting good balls and moving my feet. A huge burst of emotions.”
Eala is the first woman from the Philippines to win a WTA title, adding to the already lengthy list of accomplishments she holds even at this early stage of her career.
“Winning a 500, it’s insane,” Eala said. “It’s an incredible mile- stone for me. You know, at the beginning of the week, there is no way I would have thought that I would be holding this trophy. Even at the beginning of the year. These things kind of creep up on you, and I hold these moments really close to me.”
l 49ERS: Mike Evans missed practice because of a strained quadriceps in the latest injury to hit San Francisco’s wide receiver room.
His absence left the 49ers ex- tremely shorthanded at wide re- ceiver. Projected starter Ricky Pearsall is done for the season because of an injury to his posteri- or cruciate ligament last season that hasn’t healed and requires surgery. The team’s top draft pick, De’Zhaun Stribling, has missed the past two practices with tight- ness in his hamstring, and veter- an Christian Kirk has been out since straining his calf in the team’s first practice this summer.
Evans, who turns 33 later this month, signed a three-year, $42.5 million deal with San Fran- cisco in March after spending his first 12 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He became the first player in NFL history to have at least 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first 11 seasons, making six Pro Bowls.
But he has been hampered by injuries the past two seasons, missing three games in 2024 and nine last season because of a ham- string injury and broken collar- bone. Evans had only 30 catches for 368 yards and three touch- downs last season.
l COWBOYS: Tight end Princ- eton Fant left practice after appar- ently suffering a knee injury.
Fant took a knee-on-knee hit to his left leg after being blocked backward into running back Isra- el Abanikanda during a team peri- od as the Cowboys were in full pads for the first time in training camp. Fant stayed down for sever- al minutes before being helped to the trainers’ tent without being able to put weight on his leg. He was taken off the field on a cart.
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee in 2023, Fant has appeared in 11 games over three seasons, playing mostly on special teams. He is the cousin of New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant.

BY NOAH TRISTER
As the clock ticks down to Monday’s trade deadline, the biggest deal so far came courtesy of the Detroit Tigers,
who sent left-hand- ed ace Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Skubal is a free agent after this sea- son, and Detroit is under .500. But even considering all that, trading away the 2024 and 2025 Cy Young Award winner couldn’t have been easy. The Tigers will be judged on how the three prospects they acquired — Zyhir Hope, River Ryan and Brady Smith — perform. History shows that it’s possible to come out okay when trading a pitcher of Skubal’s caliber, but there are plenty of teams who got little in return.
this week in baseball
Here are eight instances when a reigning Cy Young winner was traded before the end of the following season (hat tip to Baseball Reference for the transaction recaps):
l Frank Viola, Minnesota Twins to New York Mets, 1989: Among the players Minnesota received for Viola were Rick Aguilera and Kevin Tapani. The former saved 42 games and the latter won 16 in 1991, when the Twins won the World Series. New York never made the postseason with Viola.
l David Cone, Kansas City Royals to Toronto Blue Jays to New York Yankees, 1995: Cone was actually trad- ed twice the year after his Cy Young season in Kansas City. Toronto ac- quired him for Chris Stynes and two players who never made the majors. When the Blue Jays floundered, they dealt Cone to the Yankees for Marty Janzen and two players who never made the majors.
l Pedro Martinez, Montreal Expos to Boston Red Sox, 1997: Montreal knew what it had in Martinez, but he was entering his walk year, so the Ex- pos traded him shortly after the 1997 season for Carl Pavano and Tony

in the playoff picture for the first time in years. But a five-game losing streak, including being swept by the Atlanta Braves, put the Nationals three games under .500 and 4.5 games out of the third wild-card spot.
Even if the Nats had fared better during that stretch, they still probably wouldn’t have gone crazy, Toboni said. “I think realistically, we would still have been threading the needle be- tween buying and selling,” he said.
The Nationals still don’t think they are out of it. But if they make a run, they will have to do so without three of their most valuable players.
As Butera told his players, the Na- tionals don’t want the team to view this as the organization giving up on the season. Some of the pitchers acquired will help their pitching staff, which began the day with the fourth-highest ERA in MLB, right away.
Pirates 4, Brewers 3
Spencer Horwitz hit a three-run double, and Pitts- burgh extended its domi- nance over Milwaukee this season, beating the Brew- ers in the opener of a four- game series.
Pirates starter Bubba Chandler allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and struck out five in 52/3 innings.

Armas. Boston was able to keep him long term, and in 1999 and 2000, he turned in one of the best two-year pitching stretches in the live-ball era.
l Roger Clemens, Blue Jays to New Yankees, 1999: New York was coming off a 114-win season and a World Series title when it sent fan favorite David Wells to Toronto along with reliever Graeme Lloyd and infielder Homer Bush. In return, the Yankees landed Clemens, who like Skubal was fresh off two straight Cy Youngs. He added an- other with New York in 2001 and kept pitching until 2007.
l CC Sabathia, Cleveland to Mil- waukee Brewers, 2008: Another good comp for Skubal, in that the Brewers got Sabathia as a partial-season rental right before he hit free agency. It was worth it when he went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA down the stretch to help Milwaukee reach the postseason for the first time in 26 years. Outfielder Michael Brantley was a player to be named later in the package that went
“There’s still 50 games left, plenty of games to make up four games,” Young said. “Most of that lineup that did get us here is still here.”
But Monday’s loss once again high- lighted how far the Nationals still have to go — and just how dire the need is for those pitching acquisitions.
The Nationals got out to a 3-0 lead. Abimelec Ortiz, recalled earlier in the day to replace García, hit his first career home run off Aaron Nola in the first inning. In the second inning, Daylen Lile went deep as well, driving in Keib- ert Ruiz.
The Nationals had planned on a bullpen game, but with Alvarez on full rest and dealing, they left him in for 61/3 innings. Bench coach Michael Johns ended up pulling him — Butera was ejected in the top of the seventh after arguing that Nasim Nuñez was

back to Cleveland, and he became a five-time all-star.
l Cliff Lee, Cleveland to Philadel- phia Phillies, 2009: Yes, that’s two straight years Cleveland traded away a reigning Cy Young winner — and Lee wasn’t even a pending free agent. He helped the Phillies reach the World Series before they re-traded him to the Seattle Mariners. As part of the deal, Cleveland got Carlos Carrasco, who would pitch there for over a decade.
l R.A. Dickey, Mets to Blue Jays, 2012: The Mets picked the right time to deal Dickey, who won 20 games in 2012 before New York sent him to the Blue Jays in December. Right-hander Noah Syndergaard and catcher Travis d’Ar- naud were part of the return, and both were still with New York when the Mets won the pennant in 2015.
l Justin Verlander, Mets to Hous- ton Astros, 2023: Verlander is a tricky case because he actually left the Astros as a free agent after winning the Cy Young for them in 2022. Then New
interfered with during a rundown.
So Johns sent out Tom Cosgrove with runners on first and second and one out. The left-hander walked Ed- mundo Sosa to load the bases, and Derek Hill’s grand slam gave the Phil- lies a 4-3 lead. Bryce Harper added a two-run homer in the eighth off Clay- ton Beeter to nail down the loss.
After the game, with Griffin’s locker now cleaned out, the clubhouse was silent as the stress of the deadline and the burden of a season-high six-game losing streak hit. The post-deadline Nationals will try again Tuesday, when the emotions of the deadline won’t be as fresh.
“It just felt like there was a weight lifted off these guys’ shoulders once game time rolled around,” Butera said. “It’s frustrating the way it ended.”
Note: James Wood hurt his left side in the sixth inning. He will have imag- ing done Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury.

Performance of the week
Kyle Freeland threw the Colorado Rockies’ first complete game since 2002 on Sunday in an 8-1 victory over Kansas City. It was Freeland’s 251st start and first complete game. Eduardo Rodriguez is now the lone pitcher in major league history with at least 250 starts and no complete games.
Comeback of the week
Two of the craziest comebacks of the season came this past week, courtesy of teams trying to stay in the American League wild card race.
David Zalubowski/AP
Baltimore trailed Detroit 7-0 in the top of the seventh with Skubal on the mound. The Tigers had a 99.4 percent win probability, according to Baseball Savant. The Orioles finally chased Skubal with Leody Taveras’s two-out RBI single, and by the time Detroit’s bullpen got out of the inning, it was 7-5. Baltimore tied it in the eighth, both teams scored twice in the 11th, and the Orioles won, 10-9, in 12.
On Thursday, Kansas City led Min- nesota 3-0 with two outs and nobody on in the bottom of the ninth. (Win probability: 99.5 percent.) A hit batter, a single and a walk loaded the bases. Then Kody Clemens hit a grand slam to give the Twins a 4-3 victory.

two by the Phillies, who also added left-handed reliever Brooks Raley from the New York Mets — high- lighted a hectic day of swaps, fea- turing dozens of deals. Among Monday’s other fireworks: The Houston Astros added veteran outfielder Daulton Varsho from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for right-hander Spencer Arri- ghetti, and the Chicago Cubs got right-hander Clay Holmes from the Mets.

Los Angeles also reunited with a pair of backup catchers in Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia.
Cleveland Guardians picked up a power bat and some outfield versatility by adding Jo Adell from the Los Angeles Angels and slugger Nathaniel Lowe from the Cincinnati Reds.

expected to be different after last season’s 75-87 finish, but the addi- tions of Pete Alonso, Taylor Ward, Ryan Helsley and Shane Baz bare- ly moved the needle.

planned on “going for it” at the trade deadline, but his team didn’t do enough over the next five weeks to make aggressively buying a credible strategy. Then, on Friday, Elias expressed his intention to be both a buyer and a seller at the deadline, including being “open- minded” about trading Rutschman.
past three years have hindered one of the best starts to a career by a catcher in MLB history. After back- to-back stellar seasons in 2022 and 2023, Rutschman spent the second half of 2024 in a slump, partially because of an unspecified nagging injury. He then put up career-worst numbers in 2025 with a .220 aver- age and .673 OPS while missing two months with a pair of oblique

The Pentagon’s deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., is set to cost an additional $1.4 billion through the end of the Trump administration, according to infor- mation provided to Congress and reviewed by The Washington Post.
The estimate, which encompasses October 2026 through January 2029, adds to the hun- dreds of millions of dollars spent on the mis- sion to date. While the administration has not disclosed the full cost of the mission so far, the new figure represents the most comprehen- sive accounting yet of the president’s unprece- dented use of the military to patrol the nation’s capital — an operation fiercely criticized by many Democrats and civil liberty advocates.
The information was provided to Sen. Eliza- beth Warren (D-Massachusetts), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, by Jules Hurst III, Trump’s nominee to become the Pentagon’s comptroller, as part of his confirmation process. Hurst is set to be con- firmed in a bloc of Trump administration nominees as soon as this week.

Like so many people curious about her family history, Christi- na Montorio submitted a DNA profile to a company that offers insight.
The decision yielded a knock on the front door of her New Jersey home by an out-of-state investigator with stunning news: Montorio was related to an un- identified woman found dead in 1991 at the bottom of an inter- state embankment in Maryland.
The interaction, two years ago, shows how investigators have been using “forensic genetic ge- nealogy” to try to solve a case that recently passed its 35th anniver- sary. Their quest to bring identity — to bring, in some ways, life to a woman known simply as “Jane Doe” — appears to be making progress.
“They’re closer than they’ve ever been,” Montorio said by phone.

an. On July 31, 1991, a highway worker trimming vegetation found her decomposed body face- down along southbound Inter- state 270 in an area that cuts through the sprawling Monocacy Civil War battlefield in Frederick
County. Investigators estimated she was between 17 and 25 years old. They couldn’t tell how she died but soon said that foul play was suspected.
They also released details of what she was wearing, including a gold herringbone necklace, a neon-pink ankle bracelet, a dark tank top and a size 11 denim skirt-short combination called a skort. Her fingernails and toe- nails were painted pink, and she had distinctively protruding front teeth, according to the Fred- erick News-Post.
There were early reports that the woman may have been seen at a Frederick-area home three weeks before her body was found. Authorities also noted she was found within 10 miles of a truck stop. In 1995, Maryland State Trooper Gary Bachtell told re- porters he’d been in contact with detectives about a North Carolina truck driver who had confessed to killing three women and dump- ing their bodies along interstates.

In New Jersey in 2018, Monto- rio decided to use her DNA to research her family background. As an adopted child, she was particularly interested in finding her biological parents.
She sent a saliva sample to Ancestry, which she said provid- ed information about her heri- tage as well as a specific DNA profile. She then uploaded that profile into the website of anoth- er company, GEDmatch, which helps connect people who have similar DNA profiles.
GEDmatch gave her a choice of whether to make her profile in- formation available to law en- forcement. She checked yes.
“I wanted to help them solve cold cases,” she said.
lawmakers consider redistricting
2028 election cycle
BY SARAH RANKIN
Associated Press
Maryland lawmakers kicked off a special session Monday to consider a first step in a partisan redistricting initiative that could help Democrats pick up an addi- tional U.S. House seat by 2028.
The General Assembly was set to begin debate on a proposed constitutional amendment in- tended to give Democrats greater latitude to draw congressional maps favoring their party, which currently represents seven of the state’s eight House districts. The proposal would have to be ap- proved by voters before lawmak- ers could begin considering new district lines.
Deep-blue Maryland’s move, which the state’s minority Re- publicans have called a blatant power grab, is the latest turn in the national battle over redis- tricting, which kicked off a year ago and has reshaped the U.S. House map ahead of this year’s midterms.
Democratic state Senate Presi- dent Bill Ferguson (Baltimore City) blocked a different redis- tricting initiative earlier this year that could have put new maps in place before the fall elections, worried the move could backfire upon judicial review. But he has said his views shifted after the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act in late April. That decision offered new grounds for Republicans to swift- ly reconfigure districts in South- ern states with large minority populations that have elected Democrats — moves that Fergu- son called “painful” to watch.
“It felt like the unwinding of any type of democratic norms in the blink of an eye,” Ferguson said in an interview.
Deep-blue Maryland could gain one seat
Maryland’s lone Republican representative in Congress is Rep. Andy Harris, chairperson of the House Freedom Caucus. Har- ris’s 1st District is centered on the mostly rural Eastern Shore, part of a scenic peninsula separated from the rest of the state by the Chesapeake Bay.
In 2021, lawmakers tried to remake the maps in a way that made Harris’s district more com- petitive for a Democrat to win, drawing in communities across the bay. But a judge struck down those districts in 2022, calling them a “product of extreme parti- san gerrymandering.”
In light of that decision, and in hopes of avoiding future adverse legal rulings, lawmakers will con- sider legislation to amend the state constitution to make clear that the parameters the judge cited — including that districts be compact in form and have regard given to “natural bound- aries” — apply only to General Assembly districts, not congres- sional ones.
If approved by a three-fifths vote of both chambers, the amendment would go before vot-

The National Guard will maintain a presence in D.C. until January 2029 or “until the president says the mission is over,” Brig. Gen. Leland Blanchard II, the interim com- manding general of the D.C. Na- tional Guard, told reporters in a news briefing Monday.
The cost estimate provided to Warren assumes a deployment of about 2,500 National Guard per- sonnel. There are approximately 4,600 service members in the city now, Blanchard said, part of a temporary surge coinciding with summer events to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the sign- ing of the Declaration of Indepen- dence.
Democrats have called the de- ployment a wasteful use of mili- tary resources and an infringe- ment on Americans’ civil liberties, and they have pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to justify the mission as the Pentagon faces urgent budget shortfalls because of the Iran war and other military operations.
“The National Guard are not pawns and taxpayer dollars are not a piggy bank for Trump’s polit- ical stunts,” Warren said in a state- ment.

Ahead of the special session, Republicans criticized the move by Democrats and raised con- cerns about limits set on testimo- ny for the special session.

Green lights for Richmond’s fire trucks and buses — but not ambulances
BY SAMUEL B. PARKER Richmond Times-Dispatch
It’s a relatively new technology that’s quickly becoming more common: transit signal priority (TSP) systems that change red lights to green when emergency vehicles approach crowded in- tersections, or that lengthen green lights to allow buses to pass.
And, thanks in part to a grant from the Federal Highway Ad- ministration, Richmond’s fire trucks and regional buses will be outfitted with that system by next spring.
But Richmond’s police cars and ambulances won’t be includ- ed in the new program, officials say — at least not immediately.
“Because of available funding and the city’s approach to rolling out this new technology, ambu- lances and police vehicles are not included in the initial phase,” city spokesperson Jensen Gavulic said in response to questions. “However, the same technology could be expanded to additional emergency-response vehicles in the future as resources allow.”
It’s a decision that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to Chip Decker, the 20-year chief execu- tive of the Richmond Ambulance Authority (RAA), which oversees the city’s emergency first re- sponse operations and recently resumed full control of 911 calls at the direction of City Council.

Since returning to office, Trump has deployed active-duty and National Guard units to American cities on controversial missions to stop crime or protect federal immigration agents. Aca- demics and researchers who spe- cialize in politicization and the military, along with local officials in some of the targeted communi- ties, have argued that the opera- tions violate laws barring the mil- itary from engaging in domestic law enforcement.
Some state and local govern- ments, including Washington,
Leader Jason C. Buckel said in a statement.
Harris, in an interview, said the “gerrymandering that this constitutional amendment sets up” would break up areas of common interest into districts predominated by urban and sub- urban areas, disenfranchising ru- ral voters. Such a move would “of course” face a court challenge, he said.
Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat who has expressed frustration over lawmakers’ refusal to redis- trict earlier this year, cast the move as an urgent necessity in light of Republican moves else- where. The proposal currently before lawmakers will ultimately give voters, not “party bosses,” the final say, he said.
“And if the people determine that there’s nothing to do, then there’s nothing to do. But if the people determine that we move, we move,” he said in an interview
Times-Dispatch. “It just makes sense, and I don’t think there’s any downside.”
Enhanced traffic safety, better response times expected
The technology, developed by Econolite Solutions, tracks vehi- cles’ built-in GPS systems to make decisions on when to trigger a traffic signal change. Small devic- es called cabinets will be installed on certain traffic lights and will be able to receive and decode location data from equipped vehi- cles.
So when a fire truck traveling along a crowded corridor ap- proaches an intersection, the traf- fic lights will change to allow it to pass. And as Greater Richmond Transit Company buses approach crossroads, green lights might last a little bit longer to help them pass through.
“The system can provide signal preemption to help clear a path through intersections,” Gavulic said of the planned rollout for fire trucks. Buses, meanwhile, will only get priority under “certain conditions,” which Gavulic did not explain further.
Econolite’s TSP became avail- able to Richmond after the city received a $1.9 million federal grant, which officials matched with $1.9 million in city funds. The benefits are manifold, offi- cials say.

have challenged the deployments in court.
The Congressional Budget Of- fice estimated in January that the administration’s National Guard deployment in Washington cost $223 million through the end of 2025. It said deployments in Los Angeles, Memphis, Chicago and Portland, Oregon, together cost an additional $273 million in 2025.
CBO has estimated that each additional month of deployment in Washington would cost about $55 million.
Trump’s record $1.5 trillion de- fense budget request for fiscal 2027 includes $2.3 billion in fund- ing for domestic use of the mili- tary, including $605 million for the National Guard mission in Washington.
In a separate request to Con- gress for $67 billion in additional funding to help cover the costs of the Iran war, the Trump adminis- tration also requested $800 mil- lion for the National Guard. Sen. Patty Murray (Washington), the Appropriations Committee’s top Democrat, said during last month’s hearing with Hegseth that those funds would go toward extending the D.C. deployment.
Blanchard, the National Guard general, defended the mission, noting that last month the Trump administration signed a $292 mil- lion contract to move National Guard members into local apart-

Redistricting reverberates across the nation
Maryland’s special session is part of a new phase in a national redistricting battle that began a year ago, when President Donald Trump urged Republican-led states to redraw congressional districts to help the party hold on to its slim House majority in the midterm elections. Republicans think they could win as many as 16 additional seats from new House maps enacted in eight states: Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Tennes- see, Louisiana and Alabama. Democrats, whose counterattack faced several setbacks, think they could win up to six additional seats from new districts in Cali- fornia and Utah.
Now some states, such as Maryland and New York, are

cially during peak traffic hours and along congested routes. Simi- larly, it will enhance public tran- sit efficiency as signals prioritize buses carrying dozens of riders, rather than cars that often have only a single occupant.
It’s safer, too, officials say. Ev- ery year, Americans are injured or killed by emergency vehicles go- ing through red lights. Signal changes are expected to reduce the number of deaths.
Included in the city’s package is Econolite’s “intelligent traffic sensors” and “advanced detection systems” that, in some cases, can track the number of vehicles, bi- cyclists and pedestrians that pass through an intersection.

ments from hotels in and around Washington. The move, Blanchard said, will save $90 mil- lion on lodging and transporta- tion costs over the course of the contract.
He said, too, that service mem- bers have responded to about 800 medical emergencies — perform- ing CPR and applying tourniquets on gunshot victims, and adminis- tering 325 doses of Narcan, a drug used to treat overdoses.

‘It’s just a lot safer’
Decker agrees that the new TSP has many advantages and hopes that RAA ambulances are eventu- ally folded into the program.
Unlike Chesterfield and Henri- co counties — which Decker said have been equipped with older, 1990s-era infrared transmitters that also change traffic lights — Richmond ambulances currently have no way of communicating with traffic signals or receiving route advantages of any kind.
“Pretty much everyone around us has it,” he said. “It’s just a lot safer.”
For now, Richmond ambulanc- es will continue to make do with less sophisticated options, like

“If we’re responding [to an emergency] and the traffic light is red, then we have to stop,” he explained. “We shut down all the emergency lights and wait for the light to turn green because you don’t want to shove people into the intersection … or cause pan- ic.”
Thanks to Richmond’s urban density and many stoplights, the frequent slowing and stopping have left city ambulances with an average travel speed of 23 mph, Decker said. When it comes to a heart attack, a brain bleed, an asthmatic episode or any number of other medical scenarios, those are precious seconds lost.
Asked whether he believes the TSP rollout to be a “life-or-death issue,” Decker said, “I think so, yes.”

The service members deployed in D.C. have been tasked with a variety of missions, such as guard- ing the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial and clean- ing up garbage on city streets.

The RAA just emerged victori- ous from a testy battle with Rich- mond Mayor Danny Avula’s ad- ministration over which entity should field 911 calls.
Before July 27, calls were han- dled by City Hall’s Department of Emergency Communications, Preparedness and Response (DECPR), which would then for- ward them to the RAA if an ambulance was needed.
After the RAA and Avula’s ad- ministration sparred in City Council meetings over which agency was better suited to stew- ard that process, City Council sided with the RAA — and or- dered that full responsibility for calls be transferred to the RAA.
But Avula’s administration missed the mandatory deadline for doing so by several weeks, citing senior officials’ vacations as the reason the law wasn’t being followed. That prompted more angst from some council mem- bers.
Decker doesn’t seem to believe the heated debate over 911 calls had anything to do with the RAA’s exclusion from the TSP launch. In fact, he said he has an “advocate” in the DECPR who is working with him to explore expanding the technology’s use.
“I’m definitely going to keep pushing,” Decker said.

First GOP woman from Texas to win House seat
House Appropriations Committee Chair Kay Granger (R-Texas) at a hearing on fiscal 2024 spending bills in June 2023.
BY ANUSHA MATHUR
Kay Granger, a trailblazing Texas Republican who served as the first female mayor of Fort Worth and went on to spend 14 terms in Congress, rising to be- come the first woman from her party to chair the powerful House Appropriations Commit- tee, has died. She was 83.
Her death was announced on social media Sunday by Speaker Mike Johnson and the House Republican Conference. Addi- tional details were not immedi- ately available. Ms. Granger’s family had announced in Decem- ber 2024 that she had dementia, amid claims that her staff tried to conceal her cognitive decline.
A former teacher and small- business owner, Ms. Granger served for four years as mayor of Fort Worth before being elected to Congress in 1996. After becom- ing Appropriations chairwoman in 2019, she wielded immense influence over federal spending and helped steer funds toward Fort Worth-based defense com- panies such as Lockheed Martin and the helicopter-maker Bell Textron.
Ms. Granger did not seek re- election and left Capitol Hill in January 2025, at nearly 82. Just before her term ended, the Dallas Express, a conservative Texas me- dia outlet, reported that she had not cast a vote in Congress in nearly five months. Her office continued issuing news releases and posting on social media, according to the story, but re- porters for the publication could not reach Ms. Granger’s aides, and her Texas office appeared closed.
Two days after the article ap- peared, Ms. Granger’s son John Dean Granger confirmed that his mother had “some dementia is- sues late in the year” and was living in a Fort Worth senior facility, though not in memory care. Her absence sparked debate over a congressional culture that appeared unwilling to shake up senior leadership, with some vet- eran lawmakers in their early 80s or older.
“Kay Granger’s long absence reveals the problem with a Con- gress that rewards seniority and relationships more than merit and ideas,” said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California). “We have a scle- rotic gerontocracy.”
Texas GOP Chairman Abra- ham George said Ms. Granger “should have stepped down and let a special election happen.”
Ms. Granger’s defenders point- ed out that she had already announced her retirement before her condition became public. Other high-profile lawmakers such as Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) faced scrutiny for clinging to leader- ship positions into their 80s. (In January 2025, Congress had 121 members over 70 years old, about 22 percent.)
Concerns about former presi- dent Joe Biden’s age and mental acuity — amplified by his falter- ing televised debate performance — contributed to his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
“We’ve had other members who’ve had strokes or debilitat- ing illnesses who’ve been out for periods of time,” said Norman Ornstein, an emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Insti- tute. “The difference is for all of them, it was public knowledge. There wasn’t a kind of cover-up.”
Ms. Granger was the first female mayor of Fort Worth and spent 28 years in Congress.
‘A spotlight on me’
Ms. Granger was born Norvell Kay Mullendore in Greenville, Texas, on Jan. 18, 1943. She said she felt drawn to her mother’s career path in education as a teacher, counselor and principal, as well as her father’s work as a salesman for a Fort Worth cloth- ing manufacturer.
She began her career as a high school English and journalism teacher after graduating in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree from Texas Wesleyan College (later a university). She worked in educa- tion for nearly a decade before becoming frustrated with her pay and moving to a job in the life insurance industry.
you’re tough on crime and you work to build
“If you cut taxes and you’re tough on crime and you work to build the economy, I never could figure out what was liberal about that,” Ms. Granger said. “Is it because I like children and be- lieve in education?”
could figure out what was liberal about that.
children and believe
Kay Granger, on Republicans’ perceptions she was too moderate
In 1978, after 14 years of mar- riage, Ms. Granger and her hus- band, John Granger III, separat- ed. She became a single parent to three young children.
“You just fight your way through the day,” she said in a 1986 speech.
Information on survivors was not immediately available.
Ms. Granger opened her own insurance firm in Arlington, Tex- as, and entered local politics by successfully organizing a citi- zens’ group to block construction of a waste-disposal plant in the late 1970s. That led to an appoint- ment to the Fort Worth zoning board, where she served for eight years. In 1989, she was elected to the Fort Worth City Council.
Two years later, she became the city’s first female mayor as it was teetering on the brink of a financial crisis because of shifts in defense spending at the end of the Cold War.
namics — one of the city’s biggest employers — ordered massive layoffs, and Carswell Air Force Base, another economic engine of the area, was set to close.
Ms. Granger carved out a repu- tation as a pragmatic centrist. She lobbied to have Carswell turned into Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, bringing jobs to the city. She championed Code Blue, a $3.17 million anti-crime effort to train new police officers and mobilize citizen engagement through vol- unteer patrol forces and resi- dent-proposed anti-crime plans. The initiative became widely popular.
“If you’re the first female may- or of Fort Worth, you take it very seriously,” Ms. Granger told the Dallas Morning News in 1997. “There was a spotlight on me then — not because I was Kay Granger, but because I was a woman in that position.”
In 1996, she ran for an open seat in Congress in a longtime Democratic stronghold covering parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Though Ms. Granger had identified as a Republican to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Fort Worth mayoralty is nonpar- tisan.
Both the Democratic and Re- publican parties courted her to campaign as their candidate. She decided to run as a Republican and fended off conservative crit- ics in the primary who called her too moderate.
Her comfortable victory, with nearly 58 percent of the vote, ended the century-long Demo- cratic hold on the district. She was the first Republican woman to represent a Texas district in the House. (Democrat Lera Thomas was the first Texas wom- an in the House, elected in 1966. Republican Kay Bailey Hutchi- son was the first woman to repre- sent Texas in the Senate, elected in a 1993 special election.)
As chair of the Appropriations subcommittee on state and for- eign operations from 2011 to 2017, Ms. Granger allocated funding for the State Department and foreign aid. While foreign aid spending often met resistance within the GOP, Ms. Granger wrangled support from Republi- cans.
In 2016, she took the lead on a $38 billion military aid package for Israel, which she successfully pushed through Congress. The package included 33 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters, built in Ms. Granger’s district.
She forged relationships with humanitarian aid figures, includ- ing Irish singer Bono of the band U2, who founded ONE, an advo- cacy organization aimed at com- bating AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa. In 2012, they traveled together for the opening of a new school in Ghana that Bono’s group supported.
Later, as the first Republican woman to take the helm of the Appropriations Committee, Ms. Granger advocated for increasing military spending and securing new defense contracts, particu- larly aircraft production.
Lockheed Martin landed a $34 billion Pentagon contract for 478 F-35 fighter jets. The aerospace and aviation industry directly employs more than 148,000 workers in Texas.
There was tension at times between Ms. Granger’s interests in securing money for her district and appearing true to the princi- ples of fiscal restraint.
In 2022, she was accused of hypocrisy by political opponents and local activists for voting against the Biden administra- tion’s Inflation Reduction Act while praising a $403 million investment into a Fort Worth riverfront and flood control proj- ect that had been allocated as part of the spending plan.
“I wasn’t against this project. I was against some of the other parts of that bill,” Ms. Granger told the Fort Worth Star-Tele- gram in 2022 when pressed by reporters.
By the end of her tenure, Ms. Granger found herself increas- ingly squeezed between her cen- trist roots and the rising hard- right MAGA movement in her district. She had once supported abortion access and sharply criti- cized Donald Trump — even call- ing for Trump to drop out of the 2016 presidential race after the “Access Hollywood” tape leaked, with his vulgar statements about grabbing women’s genitals.
But in 2020, facing a MAGA- backed primary challenge from tech executive Chris Putnam, she pivoted. She secured Trump’s en- dorsement, adopted a staunch antiabortion stance and won re- election. For the remainder of her time in Congress, Ms. Granger toed the GOP line.

WINIFRED GUTHRIE ANDERSON (Age 92) Winifred “Win” Guthrie Anderson passed away peacefully on June 30, 2026, at the age of 92, leaving behind a life defined by intel- lect, compassion, faith, and devoted service to children and families. 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.
SHIRLEY F. KEISLER (Age 74) Shirley F. Keisler, 74, died peacefully sur- rounded by family on July 21, 2026, at Inova Fairfax Hospital after a brief battle with pan- creatitis. She was born on August 8, 1951, in Philadelphia, PA and was the daughter of Natalie Elaine Hoffman and her adoptive father, Albert Polonsky. Shirley received her Bachelor of Arts from The Pennsylvania State University, her Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Temple University and her Juris Doctorate from George Mason Univer- sity School of Law. She was a loving mother and wife, an avid follower of politics and al- ways valued and prioritized time with family and friends. Shirley cared deeply for those around her. Her wit, wisdom and ability to listen intently with genuine interest and feeling drew people to her. She thoughtfully built and maintained a rich personal life. Shirley was a recognized, highly skilled Fam- ily Law attorney who understood the emo-
DENIS MICHAEL NEILL JUNE 25, 1929 - JULY 22, 2026 Denis Michael Neill died peacefully at home in Bethesda, Maryland, on July 20, 2026. He was 83. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Kathleen (Golden) Neill, their two chil- dren and five granddaughters.
Mr. Neill was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Thomas P. and Agnes Weber Neill. 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. During his time at USAID, he received both a Superior Unit Citation and a Distinguished Honor Award.
Shortly after leaving government service, Mr. Neill founded Neill & Company in 1981. 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-

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.

tional and financial impact a family law mat- ter can have on an individual. 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. Her practice encompassed negotiating and drafting international pre- and post-marital agreements; international custody agree- ments; cross-border child abduction and child custody disputes, receiving recogni- tion from the Unites States Department of State for her work. She represented foreign diplomats serving in the U.S. and those who were members of the U.S. Foreign Service and other government agencies. She was a Fellow of the American Academy of Matri- monial Lawyers and the International Acad- emy of Family Lawyers. For most of her career, Shirley practiced from her own law firm, Keisler & Lee, or as a lead partner at Grenadier Starace Duffett & Keisler, Offit Kurman LLP and as Of Counsel to Family Law & Mediation Center PLC. Shirley is survived by her beloved husband, Craig B. Young; her children Allison Splaun (Braxton Splaun) and Jonathan Keisler (Jes- sica Peterson); her step-children Christo- pher B. Young (Laura Lieberman-Young) and Matthew T. Young (Alexandra Young); and six grandchildren and step-grandchildren, Madeline Splaun, Harper Splaun, Camden Young, Hayden Young, Sophie Young and Stella Young. A private family funeral and celebration of Shirley’s life will be conducted. In lieu of flowers, cards or gifts, please make contri- butions in Shirley’s name to the American Cancer Society. She will be missed enor- mously by her family, friends and colleagues.

One of his proudest achievements was help- ing to found the Yellow Ribbon Fund in 2005. 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.
Mr. Neill is survived by his wife, Mary Kath- leen (Golden) Neill; his son, Mark Neill of Lake Worth, Florida, and Mark’s daughters, Sarah, Ailani, Emma, and Charlotte; and his daugh- ter, Erin Neill, her husband, Lee Emmert, and their daughter, Poppy, of Bethesda, Maryland.
He is also survived by his siblings, Cathy Neill of Durango, Colorado; Mark Neill (Kelly), Mag- gie Neill (Diane Ford), and Joe Neill (Beth), all of St. Louis, Missouri; Ed Neill (Linda) of Harrisville, Michigan; and Jim Neill (Chip Fangman) of Albuquerque, New Mexico; his brother-in-law, Tony Golden (Rita) of James- ville, New York; and many beloved nieces and nephews across the country. He was predeceased by his parents and his brothers, Tom and John.
Adieu, Denis. Que Dieu te garde.

Purchaser has not relied on anything in the foreclosure advertisement, but rather has relied solely on such inves- tigations, examinations, or inspections of the property as purchaser has made. Purchaser waives and releases the Released Parties from any and all claims the purchaser or its successors and assigns may have now or in the future may have relating to the condition of the property. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this provision was a negotiated part of the Contract of Sale and serves as an essential component of consideration for the same.

Further, purchaser agrees to indemnify Substitute Trustee for any liability she may have to any third party for an environmental condition of the property. Notwithstanding the parties’ intent that this clause bars all such claims, should a court of competent jurisdiction deem otherwise, purchaser agrees that the presence of this clause should serve as the overwhelming, primary factor in any equitable ap- portionment of response costs under applicable federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, or regulations.”

For the purposes herein, “Anti-Terrorism Law” shall mean any laws relat- ing to terrorism or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224, effective September 24, 2001, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Ob- struct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, the laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as jointly enforced by the United States Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (as any of the foregoing orders or laws may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).

The sale is subject to post-sale audit of the status of the loan with the loan servicer including, but not limited to, determination of whether the borrower entered into any repayment agreement, reinstated or paid off the loan prior to the sale. In any such event, this sale shall be null and void, and the Purchaser’s sole remedy, in law or equity, shall be the return of the deposit without interest. If purchaser fails to settle within ten days of ratification, subject to order of court, purchaser agrees that property will be resold and entire deposit retained by Sub. Trustees as liquidated damages for all losses occasioned by the purchaser’s default and purchaser shall have no further liability. The purchaser waives personal service of any papers filed in connection with its failure to settle within ten days of ratification and expressly agrees to accept service by first class mail at the address provided by the Purchaser as identified on the Memorandum of Sale. The defaulted purchaser shall not be entitled to any surplus proceeds resulting from said resale even if such surplus results from improvements to the property by said defaulted purchaser. Sub. Trustees will convey either marketable or insurable title. If they cannot deliver one or the other, or if ratification of the sale is denied by the Circuit Court for any reason, the Purchaser’s sole remedy, at law or equity, is return of the deposit without interest.
