阴云密布、时间表变动未能浇灭鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节第二天观众的热情
由英国流行星查莉-XCX与家乡宠儿 the Smashing Pumpkins (乐队) 领衔演出
鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节周五在芝加哥湖滨地带进入状态，而雨也随之而至。一团浑浊的云层盘踞在格兰特公园上空，与警用直升机以及拖着广告横幅的飞机队列并列。
作为晚间的压轴，第二天主舞台的领衔艺人是 T-Mobile 舞台上的查莉-XCX（在去年著名的“Brat”巡演之后重返芝加哥）以及 Bud Light 舞台上的家乡乐队 the Smashing Pumpkins (乐队)（至少有一位年轻的节日参与者将这场演出称为鲁拉帕卢萨的“父母之夜”）。
在此之前的周五，音乐时间表处于变动之中，Paloma Morphy 和主舞台吸引力人物 Lil Uzi Vert 退出，Slayyter 与 Balu Brigada 交换舞台，以及其他变动——鲁拉帕卢萨的主办方 C3 Presents (演出主办方) 在发稿前未回应《芝加哥论坛报》要求提供更多信息的询问，但在社交媒体上，音乐节将此归因于
$9.96B 预算依赖州政府资金
裁员与削减开支的命运如今 掌握在斯普林菲尔德手中
作者：Kate Armanini 《芝加哥论坛报》
在经历了一场激烈的辩论后，芝加哥教育委员会于周四批准了该学区 99.6 亿美元 billion 的预算，通过了一项修正案，预计将获得 $150 million 的州政府资金，以撤销学校层级的削减计划。
该学区 2026-27 年的预算最初包括裁减 760 名教师、削减部门开支，以及

通过性骚扰行为违反法律，同时还揭露了第三名女性受害者的存在，该受害者是另一名州议员的员工，她表示本顿去年在斯普林菲尔德一家酒吧中“令人毛骨悚然”的行为让她感到不舒服。

实施期中支出冻结以弥补 $730 million 的赤字。这项具有争议的修正案取消了支出冻结，并计划撤回至少部分计划中的裁员。
但额外的州政府资金是否能落实尚不明确。
立法者已在 6 月通过了州预算——填补了其自身 20 亿美元 billion 的赤字——而芝加哥公立学校的领导层表示，他们尚未收到有更多资金可用的任何迹象。

迈克尔·麦卡斯基将军的报告仍然未能回答关于民主党众议院议长埃马纽尔·“克里斯”·韦尔奇如何处理三年前由一名本顿员工首次提出的指控的关键问题。韦尔奇在次年花费了 $1.4 million 帮助本顿（来自西南郊区普莱恩菲尔德的民主党人）连任。直到一名女性游说者 1 月在芝加哥河北区一家酒吧遇到本顿，
未能到位，该预算修正案可能会使学区在期中面临削减学校开支的风险。官员们表示，贷款机构也不会“看好”未确认的收入，这可能导致信用评级下调和借贷成本增加。
“我们需要从错误中学习，而不是重复错误，”King 说道。
在投票之前，芝加哥公立学校首席预算官 Emila Zoko 表示，她不会将修改后的预算视为州法律所要求的平衡预算。她指出，斯普林菲尔德此前没有为芝加哥公立学校拨付新资金的先例。
她表示，本顿向她发表了淫秽言论，而议长办公室并未采取任何措施对其进行纪律处分。
这份七页的报告包含了麦卡斯基调查的结果，该调查是在 3 月 4 日收到韦尔奇办公室提交的投诉后启动的。报告概述了《论坛报》在 7 月首次报道的许多细节，该报进行了数月的调查，审视了本顿对待两名女性——他的

从 Lil Uzi Vert 的缺席（偏偏是在他的生日当天）到天气问题，参加音乐节的观众们似乎都能随遇而安。
与 SLAYYTER 一起，绝不留情
快跑，别走，赶紧去看 Slayyyter。坦白说，附近 54 Ultra 那流畅且带有复古吉他音色的演出几乎足以干扰这次任务，但在 Day 2 的细雨中，只有她的金色长发在潮湿的空气中飘扬。这位来自洛杉矶、也被称为 Catherine Grace Garner 的脏俏流行乐女王，既像迷人的塞壬，又像重金属主唱。（Nine Inch Nails X Slayyyter 的合作什么时候来？）她原定于 6:45 p.m. 在 Airbnb 舞台演出，但演出时间被提前了 4 小时，并移至更大的 Bud Light 舞台。不用担心，大家都收到了通知。
很难想象，这位流行音乐界最酷的女孩在 29. 岁时几乎决定放弃。随着《Wor$t Girl in America》的突破——凭借其性感的狂放以及“你必须聪明才能成为聪明鬼”的歌词，她赢得了那些在逆境中奋力前行的人、网络模因女王以及手持香烟的 D.I.Y 规则破坏者的心。在她的三人乐队工业级强劲鼓点的支持下，她的麦克风开启了。像《Crank》、《Brittany Murphy》和《Beat Up Chanel$》这样的歌曲，听起来正如你所期待的那样粗犷且凶猛，同时展示了她卓越的声乐技巧。随着新单曲《Brand New Chanel$》在音乐节上的首秀，她标志着新篇章的开始。并非变得更精致，而是更多。而粉丝们对此极其渴望。燥起来吧。
为品牌排队
在场馆周围，企业利益方带到格兰特公园的展示区数量超过了舞台。许多接受《芝加哥论坛报》采访的音乐节参与者表示，他们计划参加“品牌激活”活动。鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的赞助商设立了结构体，人们可以在那里获取食物、周边商品并参加活动。Aperol 设立了一个 21-and-over 区域。一辆巴士分发免费的 CTA 周边。可口可乐在白金汉喷泉旁边设立了一个轮滑场。那里有两条队伍——一条是去轮滑的，另一条是去领取免费汽水的——而领取免费饮料的队伍规模要大得多。
“我早点来是为了拿免费的东西，因为这是体验的一部分，”29 岁的 Miguel Crisantos 说道，他既尝试了轮滑也领取了一瓶免费的可口可乐樱桃味汽水。“我们要看的艺人们比较晚才出场。”
同样在喷泉附近设立的还有啤酒品牌 Kona Big Wave。该公司设立了一个半管池，观众们在那里观看职业滑板运动员表演特技。
“每个人都觉得，啊，半管池在这儿，让我看看他们怎么滑，”滑板运动员兼奥运选手 Mariah Duran 说道。

SUKI GLAM 登场
“欢迎来到 Lovelandapalooza，”一个不具形体的声音说道，在接通电话后简述了演出的预期。歌手 Suki Waterhouse 被一支巨大的丘比特之箭击中，她用带有新浪潮风格的《Supersad》开启了略微提前的表演时段。
这位噘嘴、留着羽毛刘海的多才艺人士前一晚还在 House of Blues 举行了一场 Lolla 售后演出，向满座的观众预告了她的新专辑，并演唱了周五重复出现的观众最爱歌曲，包括《Oh My God》（通过加入现场号角组增强了效果）、《My Fun》和《Good Looking》。就在两年前，她在今年被称为 Airbnb 舞台的森林区域演出。在 Allianz 舞台上，她面对一个解剖学结构正确的迪斯科球心脏，散发出自信的光芒。为人母让她那种特别的、焕发青春的魅力流行风显得恰到好处。“我想你们准备好了，”她宣布道。“我想你们准备好坠入爱河了。”

摩天轮首秀
参加音乐节的人们身着亮片服饰、披着雨披或穿着雨衣，在蜿蜒的队伍中等待机会登上 Motorola Razr 摩天轮，并在其发光的吊舱中旋转几圈。
摩天轮是今年音乐节的新增项目，此外在格兰特公园北端附近还增加了其他嘉年华游戏和体验项目。从摩天轮顶端可以俯瞰密歇根湖、巴金汉喷泉、城市天际线，以及所有沿着哥伦布大道前行的音乐节参与者。
首次参加鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的乔什·范·阿尔森 (Josh Van Aartsen) 等了大约 45 分钟才登上摩天轮。他说这是他第一次乘坐游乐设施，并表示这并没有他想象中那么可怕。
“很棒，我很喜欢，”范·阿尔森在乘坐完后说道，“我喜欢从上面看到的城市景色，鲁拉帕卢萨（的参与者）看起来就像小蚂蚁一样。”
“挺有趣的，非常酷，”罗森邦 (Rosenbun) 说道。
躲避阵雨
整个下午，鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的参与者们不时遭遇轻微阵雨。
在前往舞曲流行艺人扎拉·拉森 (Zara Larson) 演出现场的人群中，可以看到许多不同颜色的亮色雨披。一名粉丝脱掉鞋子将积水倒在地上，然后迅速重新加入人群。
在音乐节的儿童友好区域 Kidzapalooza 中，豆袋沙发上覆盖着塑料布以防雨。站在一个沙发旁的梅丽莎·罗德里格兹 (Melissa Rodriguez)，31 岁，表示她并不在意这场雨。罗德里格兹来自亚利桑那州，她说较凉爽的天气是一种很好的放松。
“说实话，感觉就像在度假，”她说，“有时我们来这里时，天气和亚利桑那州一样热。”
甜点车到站
在鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的“甜点岛” (Dessert Island) 区域，参与者有大量选择来满足他们的甜食之欲，包括西班牙油炸饼、意式冰激凌、冰淇淋和巧克力裹草莓等甜点。
21 岁的爱德华多·豪威尔 (Eduardo Howell) 是首次参加鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的观众，他走向一个漏斗蛋糕圣代，上面撒有糖粉，并放有一个香草冰淇淋球，顶端淋有草莓糖浆。
“我想吃漏斗蛋糕，而且从昨天起我就很渴望吃冰淇淋。所以我买了这个，把两者结合在一起，”豪威尔说道，并补充说总共花费了 $20。“它比（单买）漏斗蛋糕贵了 $5，所以我觉得也值得。”

罗马——在教皇利奥十四世与总统唐纳德·特朗普之间经历了数月的紧张关系后，这位教皇宣布，他希望“尽快”，或者至少在“几年内”进行他首次对美国的教皇访问。
在周三晚上播出的一段 NBC 采访中，身为美国公民的利奥还表示，虽然“成为首位美国籍教皇具有重大意义”，但他更多地将自己视为“恰好是美国人的教皇”。
当被问及是否在计划一次正式的美国之行时，利奥说：“他们会在那里见到我的，”并补充说，他“凑巧”一直在查看“未来几年”的日历。
“目前还没有最终定论，”他说，“但我确实希望尽快前往那里。”
利奥 1955 年出生于芝加哥，是首位来自美国的教皇，他将这一身份转化为优势，表现出在多个方面挑战华盛顿的意愿。在特朗普多次攻击利奥公开批评其……
一名男子因将女友杀害并将其尸体放入芝加哥的一个行李袋中而被判处 50 年监禁
作者：Madeline Buckley 《芝加哥论坛报》
布里塔尼·巴塔利亚在与祖母一起园艺时，曾救回了一袋在后院花园地块中像杂草一样生长的野洋葱，希望能够培育它们并让它们生长。
巴塔利亚的祖母卡罗尔·阿古基斯在周五回忆道，巴塔利亚如此尊重生命，以至于这位 33 岁的女性甚至不愿杀死一株杂草。
然而，巴塔利亚本人死于一场暴力袭击。2023 年 6 月 5 日，警方在她的男友位于洛根广场的公寓里发现她被装在一个行李袋中，几乎被斩首。
在莱顿刑事法院大楼进行了数小时的证词陈述后，库克县法官玛丽·玛格丽特·布罗斯纳汉判定其男友詹尼西斯·席尔瓦在杀害巴塔利亚的案件中被判处 50 年监禁。
“这是一个家庭暴力案件，家庭暴力一直且将继续成为我们社会的祸害，”助理州检察官约瑟夫·卡尔森主张，并请求法官给予最高处罚。
在听证会上，巴塔利亚的家人将她描述为一个成熟的灵魂和一位真正的朋友，愿意……

一名 46 岁的南荷兰州男子周四承认犯有导致死亡的加重醉驾罪，并对 2023 年发生在橡树林的导致伯班克 3 岁儿童马修·杜申科死亡的车祸承担责任。
根据检察官与萨顿律师之间达成的认罪协议，库克县法官玛格丽特·奥加雷克判处保罗·萨顿在伊利诺伊州惩教署服刑 16 年。

关于美国与以色列对伊朗的战争，利奥回应称，他对特朗普政府“没有恐惧”。在利奥鼓励美国主教在面对特朗普政府的打击时支持移民之后，双方在移民问题上的紧张局势也随之升级。
与许多其他世界领导人不同，自利奥在2025年5月就任教皇以来，特朗普尚未访问梵蒂冈。
请一周假，与当时正处于人生重大转折期、准备搬家的表妹一起从洛杉矶开车前往芝加哥。亲友们说，她热爱绘画，无论是在画布上还是在人们的脸上，并且非常喜欢感恩节的红薯砂锅——这道菜现在成了节日里对她缺失的提醒。
家人表示，巴塔利亚希望有一天能结婚并拥有孩子。相反，她的表妹在结婚时，由于巴塔利亚无法在身边担任伴娘，便将她的照片系在自己的婚礼花束上。
“我只想问问，为什么，詹尼西斯？”她的母亲苏·巴塔利亚在证人席上哽咽着流泪说道，“她那么爱你，一直提起你。而你却杀了她？”
今年3月，陪审团判定西尔瓦在杀死巴塔利亚的案件中犯有一级谋杀罪。巴塔利亚失踪了数日，其家人日益担忧，并向西尔瓦询问其下落。
然而，西尔瓦的公共辩护律师辩称，西尔瓦在遭受心理健康危机时，在公寓里发现巴塔利亚死亡，由于认为没人会相信他没做这件事，于是试图掩盖这起凶杀案。
在量刑时，西尔瓦对他的行为给杜申科一家带来的痛苦表达了悲痛与遗憾。
“如果可以，我会改变整个局面，”萨顿说，“他们不该遭受这些。我只祈祷他们安息……愿上帝拥抱他们的家人。”
此次车祸发生于2023年7月在橡树林的95街和里奇兰大道。检察官表示，萨顿当时的驾驶时速超过70英里，血液酒精含量为0.196%，是法定上限的两倍多，随后他撞上了杜申科一家的汽车侧面。
检察官说。
在最近接受《纽约时报》采访时，美国驻圣座大使布莱恩·伯奇表示，据他所知，总统尚未通过电话、短信或其他方式与教皇直接交谈。教皇访问美国通常会涉及教皇与总统的会面。
利奥关于此次可能行程的评论是在他于卡斯特尔甘多尔福（罗马郊外数百年来一直作为教皇夏季住所的小镇）的教皇别墅举行祈祷仪式后发表的，男高音安德烈·波切利也出席了该仪式。当晚，利奥接受了来自NBC夜间新闻和Noticias Telemundo记者的简短采访。
教皇表示，他对“美国怀有深厚的爱”。
布里塔尼·巴塔利亚。 COURTESY
在量刑听证会上，西尔瓦就掩盖她的死讯向家属道歉，但坚称自己在杀死她的事情上是清白的。
“我的恐惧和目光短浅导致我做出了糟糕的选择，”西尔瓦说，“我惊慌失措，而不是像个男人一样承担责任。”
在橡树林的倡导者儿童医院被宣布死亡。在马修的葬礼上，马修的母亲特蒂亚娜·杜申科将他描述为“充满快乐”，说他喜欢玩恐龙，并且热爱他的哥哥。
检察官表示，马修的父亲谢尔盖·杜申科当时坐在乘客席，在车祸中受重伤，约两个月后因伤势过重去世。

他的公设辩护人瑞安·卡尔森（Ryan Carlsen）请求布罗斯纳汉（Brosnahan）判处最低刑期 20 年，理由是席尔瓦（Silva）童年生活艰辛，期间曾多次陷入无家可归的状态。卡尔森宣读了席尔瓦的朋友和家人的陈述，他们呼吁重新审查此案，并将他描述为一个脾气温和、以化解冲突情况而闻名的朋友。
“席尔瓦先生从幼年直到今天，过着复杂且艰苦的生活，”卡尔森说道。
然而，布罗斯纳汉判处了接近最高刑期的刑期，即 60 年。他的刑期将 100% 执行。
检察官表示，最后一次有人见到巴塔利亚（Battaglia）是在 2023, 6月 2 日。她的室友在庭审中作证称，当时巴塔利亚在一家家得宝（Home Depot）商店，随后收到了席尔瓦的一系列电话和短信，导致她前去见他。
当巴塔利亚当晚没有回家时，室友通知了她的家人并报警。
三天时间里，家人变得越来越担心，直到警察搜查了席尔瓦位于洛根广场（Logan Square）的公寓并发现了令人毛骨悚然的景象。他们发现了一个行李袋以及清洁用品。
萨顿（Sutton）的律师西埃拉·诺里斯（Cierra Norris）表示，她与客户进行了多次交谈，在这些交谈中，对方多次崩溃哭泣。
“我知道这几乎不能提供任何慰藉，”诺里斯说。“我们进行的每一次交谈，在结束时他都会因为对此感到悔恨而崩溃，这也是他应该有的反应。”
检察官表示，萨顿有很长的犯罪记录，包括 2017, 年一次酒驾定罪；而在事故发生时，他因持有被吊销的驾驶执照而有一份在逃逮捕令。
奥加雷克（Ogarek）表示，萨顿的犯罪记录和类似前案的数量是本案的加重情节，且需要威慑他人的类似行为。另一方面，她表示，萨顿在监禁期间努力改善自己。
“你在羁押期间做了很多工作，试图解决困扰你的某些心魔，正是这些心魔将你带到了那个时间点——或者说那个地步——导致那天那个家庭失去了他们的亲人，”奥加雷克说道。
以及它的原则。“美国的立足之本，”他说，“是自由感，是机遇感，是几代以来邀请世界各地的人们成为美国的一部分。”
利奥（Leo）表示他来自一个移民家庭，并提到他的母亲祖先中“既有奴隶也有奴隶主”。
尽管如此，他表示并不认为自己仅仅是一个美国人。他指出，虽然他不想“贬低成为美国人的意义”，但他意识到自己的使命具有更广泛的维度，即“作为一个普世教会的主任牧师，拥有一个发声的机会，向全世界的人说话，”他在接受NBC采访时地说道。
在接受特勒蒙多（Telemundo）采访时，利奥被要求给移民们一段话。
“保持希望，”他说。“当然，寻找以有序方式生活的方法。”
只有一位教皇曾访问过芝加哥：1979 年，教皇若望保禄二世在格兰特公园主持的三小时弥撒吸引了 500,000 到 1.5 百万名参与者。
负责管理芝加哥大主教区的布莱斯·库皮奇（Blaise Cupich）枢机在去年表示，他不会给新教皇施压要求其立即在芝加哥露面，但他承诺，一旦教宗准备好访问美国，“你可以相信我会为芝加哥游说。”
“届时我会申请将芝加哥列入他的行程，”库皮奇在教皇就职后不久说道。
芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）和州长 JB 普利兹克（JB Pritzker）都向教宗发出邀请，请他回到这座城市。约翰逊的邀请是在四月的教宗接见期间发出的。
“我相信他绝对非常感激这次热情的交流和邀请，我们将期待在芝加哥主持弥撒，”市长当时表示。
几个月前，里奥最喜欢的棒球队——白袜队，给了他一个机会，让他可以在自选的一场比赛中掷出开球。球队将在 8 月 11 日通过向现场观众赠送白袜主题的祭祀帽（或用通俗的话说，即“教皇帽”）来庆祝其著名的球迷。
检察官表示，现场还有多把刀具。
“我太愤怒了，”巴塔利亚的生母米歇尔·迪顿含泪说道，转身面向席尔瓦。
她告诉席尔瓦，巴塔利亚爱他，并认为在他们动荡的关系过程中，她能够改变他。
苏·巴塔利亚表示，她和丈夫领养了巴塔利亚，在她 4 天大时就将她从医院接回家，尽管她的生母迪顿也参与了她的生活。
她在陈述时哭了起来，而她的丈夫则站在证人席旁陪伴在她身边。
“她是我们家的璀璨之星，”巴塔利亚说道。
随后是两年的强制假释期。萨顿将抵扣掉他已经入狱的三年多时间。
“萨顿先生，你今天对本案表达了清晰的悔意，”奥加雷克说道，“祝你好运。”
在判决下达且萨顿被带离后，法庭内陷入了长久的沉默。

伦敦查塔姆研究所（Chatham House）的中东专家尼尔·奎利亚姆（Neil Quilliam）表示，人们对于哈马斯解除武装或以色列从加沙撤出的预期较低。“我认为内塔尼亚胡的沉默已经说明了问题，”奎利亚姆说。“这是一个他必须做出的重大决定。
“但考虑到选举的压力，加上多位内阁部长和反对党领导人已经建议不要推进这项协议，我认为他明白，这样做很可能会毁掉他再次当选的机会，”他补充道。

在酒吧里，本顿向她倾身并把手放在她的背上。他还抱怨县政府官员如何不喜欢他。报告称，由于他继续向她倾身并触摸她的背部，她感到“不安”而退后，并表示本顿“很诡异”。报告将区办事处主任的投诉列为“成立”。
麦卡斯基在报告中写道，他在 5 月 29 日就涉及这三名女性的事件询问了本顿。麦卡斯基写道，本顿否认“曾说过或做过任何具有性性质的事情”，或他“曾试图性骚扰任何人”，并补充说在说起那位说客时，“我不会勾搭说客”。但麦卡斯基表示，他认为本顿在否认时的表现“不可信”。
麦卡斯基写道，他与三名受害者分别进行了交谈，报告中未列出她们的名字。《芝加哥论坛报》也与这些女性进行了交谈，但由于她们是性骚扰的受害者，本报不披露其身份。
麦卡斯基判定涉及说客和区办事处主任的 2026 和 2025 年投诉为“成立”。由于受到一年诉讼时效期的限制，他无法对前本顿职员 2023 年的指控做出该认定。但他写道，他在报告中加入了关于前本顿职员的情况，以表明“在哈里·本顿作为议会成员的整个职业生涯期间，存在性骚扰的模式和惯例”。
在那名原本顿职员提交给立法监察长办公室并随报告一起发布的补充回复中，她写道，她曾希望在政府中建立职业生涯，但因为“看着我钦佩的领导者将个人欲望置于工作之上”而打消了念头。
“性骚扰不是一次判断失误。它不是可以用地毯遮掩掉的事情。这是对权力的滥用，是对选民对该职位的信任的滥用，”这位前职员写道。“那些维持我们州政府运转的工人——其中许多是渴望服务而来的年轻人——理应在没有恐惧的情况下工作。而且每一个观察着的年轻人都会从我们领导者的行为而非言论中学习。这些教训的影响范围远超一个办公室和一个新闻周期。”
麦卡斯基在报告中回忆道，2022 年 11 月，他与来自罗克福德的民主党州众议员、时任立法伦理委员会主席的莫里斯·韦斯特一起参加了一次会议，向新当选的立法者讲解伦理和性骚扰问题。麦卡斯基写道，参加者中就有本顿。
“令人愤怒的是，立法监察长 (LIG) 和立法伦理委员会主席向一名新议会成员讲解伦理和性骚扰问题，而该成员在不久之后就开始对他 2023 年在区办事处雇用的第一名女性实施性骚扰的模式和惯例，”麦卡斯基写道。
“随着解除武装工作的完成，以色列军队将撤出，国际稳定部队将与新的巴勒斯坦警察部队合作，负责确保加沙对其居民及其邻国是安全的，”他写道。

《芝加哥论坛报》此前报道称，几周后又随之出现了一份额外的名单。但韦尔奇的办公室直到 7 月才处理本顿的问题。那时，该职员已经辞去了在本顿办公室的职务，称她担心自己的心理健康。
“议长办公室的幕僚长和伦理官决定在一名区政府员工于 2023 年 6 月辞职后，再就这些指控与本顿对质，因为该员工担心如果本顿发现是谁提交了投诉，会遭到报复，”麦卡斯基写道。
这一陈述与韦尔奇在多次民主党党团会议上的说法不一致，此前他一直试图掩盖在处理本顿事件中遭受的批评。在这些会议上，韦尔奇坚称是前本顿职员要求他的办公室在她离职前不要对本顿进行询问。该职员告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，她不记得告诉过韦尔奇的办公室那样做。
该前本顿职员告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，她拒绝了韦尔奇办公室当时建议她向立法监察长办公室提交投诉的建议，因为她不想成为弃儿，从而危及未来在政治和政府部门工作的机会。她当时认为此事可以通过内部处理。
尽管如此，《芝加哥论坛报》获得的电子邮件显示，她向韦尔奇的办公室坚持表示，不希望其他女性面临她从本顿那里遭受的骚扰。她告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，在她的投诉之后没有采取任何纪律处分。
韦尔奇在的一份声明中坚称，该报告“再次确认了人们对我们办公室负责任行为的信心——我们遵循法律指导，尊重举报者的意愿，并在进一步信息确定存在不当行为模式后采取了决定性行动”。
但在报告中，麦卡斯基并未对议长办公室的行为做出评判。此外，报告中没有提到韦尔奇在收到前职员的指控后是否曾与本顿交谈。
报告也未提及韦尔奇与前本顿职员（该职员此前曾在议长办公室实习）在社交媒体上的沟通情况。《芝加哥论坛报》的调查显示，韦尔奇与她的互动包括：他用“爱心眼”表情符号回应她的照片，以及通过 Signal 消息应用程序请求在一家郊区餐厅的酒吧区域见面，尽管该职员表示她从未在那里与韦尔奇见面。
该职员告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，韦尔奇的表情符号回应让她感到“不舒服”。在与民主党党团的会议中，韦尔奇承认发送这些表情符号是错误的，但表示他经常在那家餐厅与人见面。
在去年冬天一名说客与本顿接触后，韦尔奇在 2 月下旬将该立法者移出了党团和委员会分配，并在 3 月向立法监察长办公室提交了投诉。在议长办公室于 July 1, 收到麦卡斯基的报告后，韦尔奇要求本顿辞职，本顿在两天后提交了辞呈。
本顿还放弃了 2026 年其立法席位的连任竞选。民主党已选定杰西卡·迪克森·海特曼填补本顿剩余任期的空缺，并作为该党的提名人出现在 11 月的选票上。
韦尔奇处理前本顿职员投诉的方式引起了议长 78 人的党团中 46 名女性中的一些人的批评。众议院民主党女性党团称韦尔奇的处理方式“不足”，其他女性团体也对他领导能力提出了质疑。
在巴勒斯坦委员会抵达和国际部队部署后，将开始一项拆除并储存重型武器、军事生产地点和隧道的工作。根据协议，该进程将与以色列分阶段撤军挂钩。
以色列控制着加沙约 60% 的地区，这些地区大多已被摧毁且人口撤离。该地区 2 million 巴勒斯坦人中的大多数处于另一部分地区，那里有数十万人住在肮脏的帐篷营地和被摧毁的街区中。
在周四的一份声明中，一名以色列官员表示，将不会有以色列
与此同时，在拥有 22 名成员的众议院黑人党团中，有些人一直对韦尔奇（Welch）持保护态度，他是该州首位黑人众议院议长。
韦尔奇在 2021 年就任议长，部分原因是 2017-18 年众议院民主党女性议员针对时任长期议长迈克尔·麦迪根（Michael Madigan）在处理 #MeToo 丑闻中的表现而发起的一场起义，尽管韦尔奇自身也有一段涉及女性的争议往事。麦迪根在失去女性成员的支持后，随后在一场联邦腐败丑闻中被定罪并被判处监禁。
州长 JB 普利兹克（JB Pritzker）作为该州民主党的实际负责人，在 7 月 22 日要求韦尔奇向公众坦诚交代他如何处理本顿（Benton）事件。
一名知情人士表示，以色列全程参与其中，但并不是该协议的签署国；该协议是由哈马斯与几个协助谈判并保证停火的国家之间达成的。该人士在讨论该协议时要求匿名。该协议的担保国为美国、土耳其、埃及和卡塔尔。
周四，美国和和平委员会（Board of Peace）官员在匿名条件下向记者描述该协议，根据设定的准则——
以确保他让公众知情，特别是让他的成员确切知道发生了什么，并且在一定程度上，如果他犯了错误，就承认这些错误，”普利兹克说道。
自从《芝加哥论坛报》披露其办公室已知晓针对本顿的性骚扰投诉（追溯至 2023 年）以来，韦尔奇尚未亲自面对媒体。相反，他的办公室通过发言人向《芝加哥论坛报》发表了笼统的声明，并未回答详细问题。
虽然坚称其办公室妥善处理了本顿的骚扰指控，但韦尔奇在立法监察长调查结果公布后发表的声明中表示：“这份报告必须成为实现有意义的结构性变革的催化剂。”
“如果我们的政策、法律或工作场所惯例存在漏洞，那么弥补这些漏洞就是我们的职责，”他说道。“工作已经开始。我的办公室将与众议院所有成员合作，探索创建一个集中的人力资源办公室，以协助所有成员履行雇主职责并支持其选区办公室员工，并且我们将聘请一名外部专家来审查此案并提出进一步建议。”
来自芝加哥的民主党州代表凯利·卡西迪（Kelly Cassidy）是立法伦理委员会成员，她抨击韦尔奇处理本顿骚扰问题的方式，首先是从前本顿员工的遭遇谈起。
“如果议长在 2023 年采取了有意义的干预，他可能能够防止另外两名女性成为受害者，这两名女性分别在 2025 年 5 月和 2026 年 1 月遭到骚扰。相反，在 2024 年，人们花费了 $1.4 million 来确保本顿连任其席位，”卡西迪在声明中表示。
“议长必须表现出真诚地修复他所造成伤害的意愿，并纠正我们所有人都在其中运作的这个破损的系统。到目前为止，他的回应并非此精神，”她补充道。“相反，我们听到的是一系列借口、对受害者的指责，以及未能公开承认不足。这令人失望。”
据官员称，虽然预计加沙的警察部队将上交武器，但这不包括绝大多数哈马斯武装分子，且重型武器不包含在协议的该部分中。
一名和平委员会官员表示，重型武器的缴械以及哈马斯隧道和其他基础设施的拆除将在此后的进程中进行，该进程可能需要 200 到 350 天。美联社（AP）获得的协议中并未出现这一时间表。
一名哈马斯官员和一名
其中一项指控称，本顿在 2024 年夏季的伊利诺伊州博览会上，试图与普利兹克（Pritzker）一同登台时表现出敌意。麦卡斯基写道：“由于该主张已过诉讼时效，且与性骚扰无关，我认为该主张没有根据。”
另一项没有根据的主张涉及本顿与一名伊利诺伊州教师联合会工作人员就芝加哥学校资金问题产生的政治争论。麦卡斯基称其为“纯粹的政治争论，而非性骚扰”。
麦卡斯基将第三项主张视为“传闻”而予以驳回——该指控称，本顿的手机里有女性“处于不同程度脱衣状态”的照片，且他声称与这些女性有浪漫关系。
麦卡斯基写道：“我采访的每一位议会女性成员都表示，她们听说过本顿手机里有照片的事，但无法指认任何见过这些照片的人。在没有人提供可能掌握相关信息的说客姓名的情况下，我对该主张的调查最终仅停留在传闻层面。因此，该主张被驳回，认定为没有根据。”
但在周五随报告一同发布的另一份回应中，该说客表示麦卡斯基的报告中存在“必须予以解决的‘不准确之处’”。她表示，这可能是由于麦卡斯基没有对与她的采访进行录音，或没有做“同步记录”。
该说客不同意立法监察长将关于本顿在手机上展示其声称与其发生过关系的女性照片的投诉判定为“没有根据”。该说客表示，她曾告诉麦卡斯基她本人就经历了这种情况，且不明白他为什么“忽视了这一信息”。她此前也向《芝加哥论坛报》告知了同样的情况。
该说客还表示，本顿从未对她说出“你想离开这里去寻开心吗”，而麦卡斯基在报告中详细描述了她与这位来自普莱恩菲尔德（Plainfield）的民主党人接触时，对方曾进行淫秽对话。
一名参与此过程的地区官员表示，哈马斯和其他团体已同意在巴勒斯坦技术委员会的监督下，在加沙内部“收集并存储”武器，且武器不会移交给以色列或非巴勒斯坦方。这些要求匿名的官员表示，这将是一个与以色列撤军挂钩的渐进过程。
一名美国官员表示，以色列一直对哈马斯放弃武器或放弃对加沙控制权的意愿持怀疑态度，但在谈判的每一步中都得到了咨询。该官员表示，以色列被要求执行的操作并未超出其在 10 月协议中所承诺的范围。
（麦卡斯基表示）在其认定事实的总结报告中“不存在不准确之处”。在他的主报告中，他将自己的工作称为一次“广泛的调查”。
麦卡斯基写道：“我的结论是，哈里·本顿代表在 2025 年和 2026 年期间的行为不端，已达到违反州法的性骚扰程度。”
他写道：“这些违规行为仅为轻罪，且在某些人看来可能是轻微犯罪，但这并不意味着它们应该被忽略。人们不应被视为仅仅为了容忍他人的言语快感或笑话而存在的客体。本顿代表在其短暂的立法生涯中至少接受了三次性骚扰培训，却无视了关于禁语禁忌的常识性示例。”
在麦卡斯基完成报告时，本顿尚未辞职，但已被韦尔奇边缘化。为了惩戒本顿，麦卡斯基建议韦尔奇永久将其从民主党党团、立法委员会中除名，并取消其使用议长办公室人员资源的权限。
但麦卡斯基写道，他反对由全州众议院启动除名程序，称这将“耗时较长，且需要立法机关召开特别会议”。韦尔奇对此持有异议，并表示在收到报告后，他已告知本顿要么辞职，要么面临除名。本顿在两天后辞职。
麦卡斯基的初步报告指控本顿违反了该州的《人权法》。但韦尔奇的办公室对其进行了纠正，指出该法律不涵盖民选公职人员和工作人员。但本顿违反了《州政府官员及雇员伦理法》中关于禁止性骚扰的规定。
韦尔奇曾敦促立法伦理委员会——一个由八名议员组成的超党派小组，负责监督立法监察长的工作——公开麦卡斯基的调查结果。该委员会在7月23日一致投票决定公布报告，但需等待法律要求的投诉人及本顿的进一步评论。在周四截止日期过后，委员会公布了该报告。
本顿方面未作出回应。
在一名本顿前下属的回应中，她写道，正式公布关于本顿行为的报告为内省和改变提供了机会。
“此时此刻并非让一个党派与另一个党派对立的机会；我们已经有足够多这样的情况了。我的希望是，这次经历，我的经历，能引导向更重要的方向：对斯普林菲尔德所需的文化变革、政策变革和个人变革进行诚实的反思，以便吸引并留住最优秀的人才，使其成为一个专注于重要工作的场所，”她写道。
“担任民选官员是一种特权，而非权利。伴随这种特权而来的应是监督，而且确实应该是这样。如果你不能将你所服务的人民置于自己之上，那么这个职业不适合你。但对于那些能够做到的人——我相信大多数人都能够做到——这就是你们的时刻，”她继续写道。“让你的同事承担责任。保护为你工作的人。为后辈铺路。为你之后世代的人们，让这个州变得比你接手时更好。”

芝加哥在核心上是一座音乐之都，其遗产远超于，例如，芝加哥交响乐团的名声。许多音乐史学家认为这座城市是福音音乐以及独特形式的蓝调和爵士乐的发源地，并指出它是像马迪·沃特斯（Muddy Waters）和杰利·罗尔·莫顿（Jelly Roll Morton）这样有影响力的艺术家的大本营。但这种深厚的底蕴从未完全演进到涵盖摇滚乐，因为摇滚乐主要是在孟菲斯、纽约市和洛杉矶发展起来的。
直到 1966, 年那个在文化上超越时代的夏天，芝加哥短暂地成为了摇滚世界的中心，当时摇滚乐正从“音墙”（Wall of Sound）和“英国入侵”（British Invasion）过渡到硬摇滚和迷幻摇滚。那是时间轴上的一个快照：音乐的普及、令人惊叹的现场演唱会、当地车库乐队的成功以及当地 AM 广播电台的影响力共同结合，使这座城市成为了瞩目的焦点。
那个夏天的音乐起止点是海滩男孩（The Beach Boys）的表演：春末的专辑《宠物之声》（Pet Sounds）和初秋的单曲《好共鸣》（Good Vibrations）。随着天气转暖，滚石乐队（The Rolling Stones）凭借《把它涂成黑色》（Paint It Black）获得了巨大的成功。猴子乐队（The Monkees）发行了他们的突破性单曲《前往克拉克斯维尔的末班车》（Last Train to Clarksville）。保罗·里维尔与突袭者乐队（Paul Revere and the Raiders）的《饥饿》（Hungry）登上了排行榜之首。但那个夏天的代表作是 The Lovin’ Spoonful 乐队的《城市之夏》（Summer in the City）。这首歌对夏季白天的炎热、潮湿和拥挤，以及夏季夜晚的凉爽、黑暗和自由的致敬，在购买音乐的公众中引起了情感共鸣。
在这种背景下，摇滚世界顶尖的乐队在芝加哥进行了夏季演唱会。 The Velvet
交易截止日
保罗·沙利文（Paul Sullivan）在他 7 月 28 日的专栏文章《掌控时刻》（“Owning the moment”）中认为，白袜队在交易截止日之前绝对必须交易一名顶级首发投手。他似乎认为这将使白袜队有机会在今年进入世界系列赛。用他自己的话来说：“如果（杰瑞）·赖因斯多夫仍然认为他‘有责任为球迷做正确的事’，那么无论代价如何，他别无选择，只能增加一名顶级首发投手。”
沙利文主张的是，白袜队应该交易掉很大一部分年轻天才，以换取一名顶尖的首发投手——即使这名球员只有两个月的租借期——以便在今年具备竞争力。这正是总经理肯尼·威廉姆斯（Kenny Williams）以及早期的比尔·维克（Bill Veeck）所采取的陈旧策略。例如，在 2016 年，威廉姆斯认为白袜队距离争冠只差一名首发投手，于是他将费尔南多·塔蒂斯（Fernando Tatís Jr.）和一名小联盟球员交易到圣地亚哥教徒队，以换取詹姆斯·希尔兹（James Shields）。这次交易结果如何？对教徒队来说很不错。塔蒂斯打出了惊人的本垒打，而希尔兹则给许多击球手提供了同样大显身手的机会。
在主张自己的观点时，沙利文似乎认为他代表了几乎所有白袜队的球迷。好吧，我从 1959 年起就是白袜队的球迷，他不能代表我。我希望白袜队在交易截止日前什么也不做。赖因斯多夫应该保留所有这些年轻天才，让球队随着这些球员的成熟而进化为争冠者；在合理的时候进行交易或签下自由球员，但现在不行。我相信大多数白袜队的球迷如果仔细思考，会希望他们的球队在未来许多年里都具有竞争力，而不仅仅是 2026. 如果他们孤注一掷，为了可疑的短期利益而交易掉年轻天才，这一切将无法实现。 — 丹尼斯·斯威尼（Dennis Sweeney），芝加哥
学生运动员
我从未想到我会这么说，但在某件事上我完全同意参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）的观点。即美国参议院商业、科学和交通委员会主席关于通过《保护大学体育法》来整顿顶级大学体育运动的立场。NCAA 成员学校已经从一个极端（利用学生运动员）走到了另一个极端（使主要大学体育职业化）——而这是以那些不产生收入的大学体育项目为代价的。必须有一种补偿学生运动员的方法（尽管没有任何手段能阻止赞助者 100 美元 的私下握手交易），建立一个让“学生运动员”这个词至少不再成为笑话的制度。 — 加里·海恩斯（Gary Hynes），威尔米特
手机禁令
如果法律文本实际上禁止了几乎所有的执行手段，那么伊利诺伊州学校的手机禁令目的是什么？根据《芝加哥论坛报》的报道，“法律禁止将罚款、费用、当地警察或学校资源警员的参与，以及停学或开除作为执行工具”（见 7 月 29 日报道《普利兹克为公立及特许学校签署手机禁令》）。那些最有可能无视法律或校规的学生会很快意识到，将不会有严肃的……

Underground 乐队在 6 月出现。滚石乐队、海滩男孩和戴夫·克拉克五人组都在 7 月于旧麦考密克广场的阿里·克朗剧院（Arie Crown Theater）进行了演出。披头士乐队 8 月 12 日在国际体育馆（International Amphitheatre）进行了两场演出，这是该乐队最后一次巡演的一部分。海龟乐队在体育馆和海兰公园高中都进行了演出。杰夫·贝克（Jeff Beck）、吉米·佩奇（Jimmy Page）和码头鸟乐队（The Yardbirds）于 8 月 6 日在公民歌剧院演出。
这个夏天的焦点还落在了几支新兴的芝加哥地区乐队身上。早些时候，来自芝加哥圣帕特里克高中的 The New Colony Six 凭借《I Confess》获得了高排名。来自芒特普罗斯佩克特的 The Shadows of Knight 在春季凭借《Gloria (G-L-O-R-I-A)》获得成功。到六月，来自伯温的 The Ides of March 凭借《You Wouldn’t Listen》取得成功。当《Kind of a Drag》走红时，The Buckinghams 开始了他们的职业生涯。

唐纳德·特朗普总统在选出的共和党官员的支持下，在他的第二个任期内给我们带来了实质性的价格上涨。例如，可验证的来源报告：

在该年晚些时候升至 No. 1。来自欣斯代尔 (Hinsdale) 的 Cryan' Shames 乐队凭借《Sugar and Spice》走红。而特里·凯斯 (Terry Kath)、丹尼·塞拉芬 (Danny Seraphine)、沃尔特·帕拉扎德 (Walt Parazaider) 和李·劳格南 (Lee Loughnane) 的车库乐队背景及德保罗大学 (DePaul) 的联系，很快引导他们组建了最初被称为“芝加哥交通局” (The Chicago Transit Authority) 的乐队。
但那个夏天的个性是由伟大的 Top 40 AM 广播电台 WLS 和 WCFL 赋予的，这两个电台在收音机刻度盘上仅隔几个档位。他们口袋大小的每周报告——“银元调查” (Silver Dollar Survey) 和“Sound 10 调查” (Sound 10 Survey) ——让粉丝们能及时了解最新的热门唱片。凭借音乐会赞助、绝佳的促销活动、主持工作以及一群极具吸引力的 DJ，他们的竞争推动了音乐的发展。早晨是克拉克·韦伯 (Clark Weber)，然后是年轻的拉里·卢贾克 (Larry Lujack)。吉姆·斯塔格 (Jim Stagg) 随披头士乐队巡演。还有无处不在的罗恩·赖利 (Ron Riley)。“嘿，宝贝，他们在阿特·罗伯茨 (Art Roberts) 的节目里播放我们的歌了。”

给空间
我怀着兴趣阅读了近期写给编辑的信件——我也在为失去那两个年轻生命而哀悼——赖利·奥尼尔 (Riley O’Neil) 和路易莎·盖格 (Louisa Gag)，两人都致力于通过设计将自行车和行人流量与汽车及卡车分离开的路径来改善我们的社区。我也一名土木工程师，且是一名热衷于骑行的骑手，对失去人们的情况过于熟悉。
对许多人来说，尤其是这里的美国人，提高安全性意味着让汽车变得更大，或者在不同的交通模式之间放置水泥屏障和墙壁。我当然热爱那些主张规划、投入资金并建设新设施以帮助分隔这些交通模式并提高人员安全性的信件。这项工作确实保护了我的同行。但年龄和经验使我对这个话题有了更多的反思，此外还有一本关于此话题的优秀书籍，由汤姆·范德比尔特 (Tom Vanderbilt) 撰写，名为《交通：我们为何这样驾驶以及它揭示了我们的什么》(Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do and What It Says About Us)。我数英里的骑行经历让我深刻意识到，我们越是将自己包裹在茧中并束缚于
但时代在改变，音乐也随之改变。1966 年的夏季之声在社会和政治动荡的阴云笼罩下提供了一种分心之举。但它们无法阻止风暴最终的到来。1966 年，有超过 380,000 名年轻人被征召入伍，在越南行动中有超过 6,000 名美国服役人员阵亡。征兵人数和伤亡数字在 1967 年双双激增。1966 年 7 月该市西区激烈的民权抗议活动，将远远被 1967 年所谓的“漫长炎热的夏天”所超越。可以理解，摇滚乐传递的信息会变得更加激烈。
然而 60 年后，芝加哥已深耕成为一个受欢迎的音乐强市。正如行业刊物所指出的，这座城市繁荣的音乐场景反映了摇滚乐的各种流派以及其他形式的音乐。在最近的一项调查中，Seatpick.com 将芝加哥评为全球音乐爱好者最理想的第三大城市。看来，1966 年夏天播下的摇滚乐种子确实结出了丰硕的果实。
就像是一个无尽的夏天，那个时代的伟大巨星们继续享有流行度。保罗·麦卡特尼 (Paul McCartney) 最近完成了他的“Got Back”北美巡演，并在联合中心 (United Center) 停留。迈克·洛夫 (Mike Love) 依然在他们繁忙的 2026 年巡演日程中领衔 the Beach Boys 乐队。the Rolling Stones 乐队刚刚发行了他们的第 25 张录音室专辑。鲍勃·迪伦 (Bob Dylan) 正在进行他的 2026 年巡演。而 the Ides of March 乐队的吉姆·彼得里克 (Jim Peterik) 和 the Buckinghams 乐队的丹尼斯·图法诺 (Dennis Tufano) 仍在继续亮相。

我们的屏幕占据的时间越多，我们对真正重要的事情关注就越少，我们的耐心就越低，而这会让问题变得更糟。说实话，即使当权者投入所有可用资金和精力来构建这些解决方案，完成所需的时间以及施工期间的混乱，几乎注定会导致更多伤亡。在等待这一切发生的同时，我请求所有身处公共道路的人记住这四个词，这将帮助我们避免更多悲剧——心存宽容，留出空间。
你看，如果人们能给他人多留一点空间，所有这些事故本都可以避免。我曾被开车太近的人撞下公路，或被那些不知道后视镜延伸距离的卡车撞飞，或者被在明确标记为禁止超车车道上试图超越我的车辆撞飞。我仍然热忱地鼓励采取措施进行结构性变革以提高安全性，但在等待这些改进被设计、拨款和建成期间，我恳请人们放慢速度，并“心存宽容，留出空间”，因为一辆 25 磅的自行车永远无法在与一辆 5,000 磅的 SUV 的对抗中获胜。而那将是每个人都输掉的战斗。 —— 罗伯特·以色列 (Robert Israel)，伊利诺伊州诺斯布鲁克村 (Village of Northbrook) 受托人

年中，而且即使额外资金获得批准， 也要到下一个财政年度才能到位。
“如果我们依赖这笔收入而它未能落实，那么这将是一场灾难，”Zoko 说道。
芝加哥教师工会以及与该工会结盟的委员会成员反驳称，假设能获得新资金将迫使州政府领导层面对多年来对芝加哥公立学校投入不足的后果，而不是要求学区自行承担更深层的课堂削减。根据该州自身的“基于证据的资金”公式（旨在根据学生的需要为学区提供公平的资金），芝加哥公立学校的资金到位率仅为 73%，低于 2024 年的 81%。
“他们打算在没有斯普林菲尔德欠下的数百万美元的情况下尝试平衡预算，对吧？”芝加哥教师工会主席 Stacy Davis Gates 在投票前表示。“解决这个问题吧，普利兹克州长 (JB Pritzker)。我们知道你办得到。”
众议院议长埃马纽尔·“克里斯”·韦尔奇周三向芝加哥教师工会成员发出信号，表示他将努力通过一项补充资金法案——但他没有详细说明将如何实现，以及州政府将从哪里筹集资金。此类立法需要伊利诺伊州议会两院的绝对多数票通过。
该预算修正案在 11-7 的投票中获得通过，要求通过该州的“基于证据的资金”公式追加 $100 million，并从支持交通和特殊教育等项目的法定拨款中再追加 $50 million。
在修正案获批后，委员会以同样的 11-7 票数通过了整体支出计划。代表西南区 7B 的当选委员会成员 Yesenia López 弃权。
由芝加哥教师工会支持并持有多数席位且提出该修正案的几位委员会成员认为，在斯普林菲尔德获得额外资金的势头正日益增强，并指出了韦尔奇的支持。
根据《芝加哥论坛报》获得的一封信函，代表芝加哥部分地区及郊区的 15 位立法者本周也告知委员会，他们将“尽快要求进行补充拨款”。
“我们被要求将刚刚推出的近 2,000 名员工的裁员计划‘内定’并使其永久化，”代表西区 5B 区的委员会成员 Michilla Blaise 说道。“而且是在说了‘我们不希望削减课堂资金，不希望削减课堂资金，不希望削减课堂资金’之后。”
但几位投票反对该预算的委员会成员认为，依赖未确认的州政府收入可能会导致今年晚些时候出现更深层的削减，裁员人数可能会翻倍。
“我们的首席财务官已经说得很清楚了：如果那笔钱没到位……我们就得动用学校预算，”代表北区 4A 区的当选委员会成员 Ellen Rosenfeld 说道。“将会出现年中削减。在下一个学年中间我还会坐在这个位置上。我不想去收拾那个烂摊子。”

在员工工会的压力下，芝加哥公立学校 (CPS) 本周早些时候将税收增量融资区（TIF）的预计收入提高到 $285 million，以避免五天的无薪休假。在 CPS 去年获得创纪录的 $576 million TIF 盈余资金后，该学区称这一估算为“保守”的。
一些受芝加哥教师工会支持的教育委员会成员表示，如果学区愿意围绕预计的 TIF 收入来制定预算，那么它也应该能够假设获得更多的州政府资金。委员会主席肖恩·哈登（Sean Harden）称学区对 TIF 的假设“有点过于草率”，尽管他没有明确表示支持该修正案。
“仅仅线性地看待数据，看待历史发生的情况，完全忽略了当前政治现实的情况，”哈登说道。
学区官员指出，每当城市宣布盈余时，CPS 每年都会收到 TIF 资金，并反复强调其预测是有数据支持的。
芝加哥校长与管理人员协会主席基亚·班克斯（Kia Banks）对提高州政府收入假设表示支持，但表示学区需要为其财务挑战寻找长期解决方案。该预算包括削减 41 名助理校长。
“我们现在必须有一个计划和路线图，这样我们就不必每年都经历这种情况，”班克斯说。
与此同时，SEIU Local 73 主席迪安·帕尔默（Dian Palmer）称该修正案是一条“冒险之路”，认为“我们的成员无法承受重新制定计划的代价”。Local 73 代表学区内的 13,000 名服务人员，包括特殊教育教室助理和巴士助手。
“未落实的州政府收入无法支付 SECA 在九月份的房租，”帕尔默说。“我们的学生不能等待斯普林菲尔德 (伊利诺伊州首府) 做决定，这个委员会也不应该等待。”
由于数以十亿计的长期债务、维修积压严重的陈旧建筑、不断上涨的成本以及联邦疫情救济援助的丧失，该学区面临结构性赤字。根据《芝加哥论坛报》获得的一份发给委员会成员的备忘录，CPS 在上一个财政年度结束时的现金余额为负 $642 million，低于 2025 财政年度末的负 $339 million。
学区的现金状况经常随收入时间而波动，但由于库克县（Cook County）重复延迟房产税，这一问题有所恶化。为了弥补缺口，CPS 越来越多地依赖于被称为“税收预期票据”（TANs）的短期贷款。
学区领导表示，如果预算未能通过，他们将无法及时获得贷款以支付九月份的工资。但学区领导称，目前仍没有保证，因为预算中未经确认的州政府收入可能会令贷款人望而却步。

由于战斗限制供应，消费者支付更高的燃料费用
作者：Cathy Bussewitz 美联社（ASSOCIATED PRESS）
纽约——美国石油和天然气巨头在春季赚取了巨额利润，而伊朗与美国之间的战斗阻碍了石油运输，导致全球消费者支付更高的燃料费用并面临短缺。
这场冲突目前已进入第六个月，导致通过霍尔木兹海峡的大部分航运停摆，这条狭窄的水路此前承担了全球 20% 的石油和天然气运输。
随着全球供应受限，国际标准布伦特原油价格在 3 月、4 月和 5 月的大部分时间里从约 $70 飙升至每桶 $100 以上，并在一度达到 $126。
石油公司在 4 月初至 6 月底之间积累的资金可能会在今年受到额外的审查。

16 世纪的钟铸造厂引入现代技术，以在奥地利延续铸造工艺
作者：Philipp Jenne 美联社（ASSOCIATED PRESS）
奥地利因斯布鲁克——在欧洲最后几家钟铸造厂之一，工人们穿着防护装备以抵御熔融青铜的极端高温，正在铸造重达数吨的钟。
工匠们接连将熔融金属倒入用钢带固定、形状特殊的模具中，为意大利、德国和罗马尼亚的教堂制造 12 个钟。
位于奥地利西部因斯布鲁克的 Grassmayr 钟铸造厂成立于 1599 年，历经战争、饥荒、瘟疫和经济挑战而幸存至今。
如今，这家家族企业由兄弟 Johannes 和 Peter Grassmayr 经营。在中世纪晚期的文艺复兴时期，欧洲有数百家钟制造厂商，而如今整个欧洲大陆仅剩下寥寥数家。
Grassmayr 家族成功的秘诀是：坚韧与创新的结合，例如

四名死于自杀的青少年的家属正在起诉 Meta、TikTok、Snapchat 和 YouTube。他们将这些平台描述为带来了“多年不断升级的伤害”，并最终导致了这些青少年的死亡。
在此期间，（价格）急剧攀升，增加了驾驶员和飞机乘客的成本。
埃克森美孚（Exxon Mobil）周五报告称，受创纪录的柴油产量推动，其第二季度利润翻了一番，达到 145.3 亿美元 billion。这家总部位于德克萨斯州斯普林（Spring）的石油巨头实现了 1160.2 亿美元 billion 的营收，增长了 42%。总部位于休斯顿的雪佛龙（Chevron）利润几乎翻了两番，达到 120.7 亿美元 billion，营收增长 56% 至 700.6 亿美元 billion。
欧洲六家最大的石油公司第一季度合计利润为 220 亿美元 billion，比去年高出 40% 以上。
“世界上有一些群体正处于一场‘非常愉快’的危机之中，石油生产商就是其中之一，”调查环境问题的非营利组织 Global Witness 的化石燃料主管 Patrick Galey 表示。
“当你将此与数亿正与滚动停电、电力限制、配给制、排队等候食物，以及化肥中断及其对食品价格的潜在影响作斗争的人们相比时，我们认为这不是全世界其余人们应该支付的合理价格。”
像埃克森和雪佛龙这样的能源公司并不设定美国原油的价格，该价格在季度内从每桶 $68 飙升至 $115。这是由供需关系驱动的。
尽管如此，国会中的民主党人在 3 月提出了法案，计划对主要石油生产商 2026 年起产生的利润征税，并将税收所得重新分配给消费者。
“对过高的意外之财征收意外利润税，而不是削减儿童食品计划，这是公平的，”提出该立法参议院版本的罗德岛州民主党参议员 Sheldon Whitehouse 表示。
Whitehouse 的方案以及由加州美国众议员 Ro Khanna 提出的一项配套法案将修订美国税法，对 2025 年日产或日进口原油至少 300,000 桶的公司征收每桶税。
3D 打印、扫描、激光和计算机模拟应用程序。
“某些事情就像 400 年前一样。但我们进行了很多创新，”Johannes Grassmayr 说道。
制作一个钟的生产周期需要三到四个月。过去，清洁一个新铸造的钟并对其进行抛光占总生产时间的 30%。如今，在现代工具的帮助下，这一过程仅需十分之一的时间。
Grassmayr 将一些最具创新性的生产步骤视为秘密，例如一个使用高压喷砂机清洁钟的特殊室，更不用说用于计算每个特定钟声音的专业应用程序。
即使拥有现代技术，为一个大钟设计并制作模具的过程可能仍需长达六个月。
“重要的是，你必须计算、成型，然后将钟铸造成一件乐器，”Johannes 说道，并补充说，铸钟最大的困难在于熔融金属的压力可能会破坏模具的风险。
他说，当工人铸造一个大钟时，液体青铜在模具内部产生的压力高达 137 吨。为了确保模具的完整性，仅使用高质量的粘土。
（这些青少年）在 2024 年 7 月至 2025 年 9 月的 14 个月期间相继死亡。
社交媒体受害者法律中心（Social Media Victims Law Center）代表这些家庭提起诉讼。其创始律师 Matthew Bergman 表示，本案中的孩子们在类似诉讼被提起“很久之后”才死亡，这一点“尤为显著”。
“尽管这些公司的高管们在说陈词滥调，但这些平台仍在继续杀死孩子，”Bergman 说道。
美国普通汽油的平均价格在对伊朗袭击前低于 $3，周五达到了 $4.11，比去年此时高出约 $1。
被使用并随后 encased in steel sleeves（ encased 在钢套中），旨在承受极端压力。
但让 Grassmayr 担忧的不仅是生产难度。由于新建教堂的数量减少，改变了对钟的需求，现代制钟业正面临压力。乌克兰战争导致的能源成本上涨也毫无帮助，且自 2020 年疫情以来，劳动力成本上升了 30%。
但新铸钟的主要成本因素仍然是材料价格。最好的钟需要高质量的青铜，其比例为 80 份铜和 20 份锡。Johannes 表示，几年前青铜的价格是每公斤 $9.23，而现在则是 $26.17。
“这就是为什么我甚至无法预测一年后一口钟的价格。我只希望金属价格能再次下降，”他说道。
Johannes 展示了几口最近铸造的钟，它们在脱模前需要冷却一周。
“这口钟是给德国 Zethau 的教堂的，”他说道。“我对这次铸造非常满意。我特别高兴的是，过去几十年的创新在很大程度上帮助使钟声变得更加优美和完美。”

该起诉称，这些社交媒体公司明知其行为会对年轻用户造成伤害。
拥有 YouTube 的 Google 发言人在一份声明中表示：“为年轻人提供更安全、更健康的体验一直是我们工作的核心。通过与心理健康和育儿专家的合作，我们构建了相关服务和政策，旨在为年轻人提供符合年龄的体验，并为家长提供强大的控制手段。我们向相关家庭表达最深切的同情，并正在审查该诉讼中的指控。”

纽约州官员周五起诉了预测市场平台 Kalshi，称其为“一个非法的、未获得许可的赌博经营机构”，该州正寻求停止其运营并强制该公司没收其利润。
随着唐纳德·特朗普总统政府就谁来监管快速增长的预测市场产生分歧，纽约州加入了越来越多对 Kalshi 及其他公司提起诉讼的州行列。
Kalshi 和其他平台辩称，他们获得了联邦许可并受联邦监管，各州没有权力管辖他们。
“看到我们本州领导层上演这种政治戏码令人悲哀，”总部位于纽约的 Kalshi 发言人伊丽莎白·戴安娜 (Elisabeth Diana) 表示。“各州不能就这样关闭一个获得联邦许可的交易平台。这也会伤害纽约人，因为他们会被迫转向离岸平台。我们热爱纽约，热爱纽约人，而纽约人也热爱我们的产品。”
纽约州州长凯茜·霍楚尔 (Kathy Hochul) 和总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯 (Letitia James) 均为民主党人，两人宣布了在曼哈顿州最高法院提起此项诉讼。詹姆斯的办公室要求法院命令 Kalshi 没收所有非法所得，向受损消费者支付赔偿金，并支付相当于公司所得三倍的罚款。
今年 4 月，纽约州曾针对非法赌博经营指控，对预测市场平台 Coinbase 和 Gemini 提起类似的诉讼。
该诉讼还指出，预测市场允许 18 到 20 岁的用户使用，而纽约州要求移动体育博彩用户必须至少 21 岁。
今年 4 月，联邦政府起诉了亚利桑那州、康涅狄格州和伊利诺伊州，挑战这些州监管该行业的努力。
欧盟将打击非法图像、黑客攻击及深度伪造
欧盟周五部署了一支新团队，旨在约束全球范围内的 AI 公司。随着人们对先进技术给个人、政治和繁荣带来的风险担忧日益增加，这是高科技领域所面临的最严厉的监管措施之一。
布鲁塞尔的目标是追踪 AI 模型在违反其新规方面的使用情况，例如发布色情内容、虚假照片和视频，以及针对公共基础设施的网络威胁。当该集团的《AI 法案》于周日生效时，AI 公司将被要求通过标签或数字水印向消费者明确告知，聊天机器人或图像是由 AI 生成的。
此次部署是在 AI 安全失效事件震惊业界之后进行的。全球政治领导人目前正考虑通过罚款和限制来控制该技术。 — 美联社
Anthropic 报告称 AI 模型在测试中入侵了 3 个团体
Anthropic 表示，其人工智能模型在测试过程中入侵了另外三个组织。就在几天前，ChatGPT 制造商 OpenAI 在披露其违规模型入侵了另一家公司后，对 AI 控制表示担忧。
这家总部位于旧金山、开发了 Claude 的 AI 公司 Anthropic 周四在其网站上发布消息称，在审查了 141,000 次以上的评估运行后，发现了这三起事件。为了响应 OpenAI 事件，该公司启动了一项“大规模”的网络安全审查，以寻找证据，确定其 AI 模型是否能够从本应密封的测试环境中访问互联网。
Anthropic 表示，涉及这些事件的模型包括 Claude Opus 4.7、Claude Mythos 5 和一个内部研究测试模型。 — 美联社
中国 7 月工厂活动陷入萎缩
中国 7 月的工厂活动出乎意料地放缓，为 5 个月来的首次萎缩，这影响了这个世界第二大经济体更广泛的增长步伐。
中国国家统计局周五表示，官方制造业采购经理指数（PMI）从 6 月的 50.3 下降至 49.2，低于经济学家的预期。
PMI 读数以 0 到 100 的量表衡量。读数高于 50 表示扩张，低于 50 则反映萎缩。

法国，萨迪拉克 —— 在波尔多葡萄酒产区的葡萄园里，Edouard le Grix de la Salle 有时能闻到远处森林燃烧的气味。烟雾预示着该地区经济前景的艰辛。
山火烧毁了面积是巴黎四倍的区域，导致 220,000 人被迫离开家园，部分地区旅游景点受损，这将给法国本已拮据的经济带来沉重打击。
“当你看到所有这些除了被焚毁的房屋和森林外什么都不剩的景象时，这就是一场物质上的启示录，而随后而来的则是经济上的启示录，”地区商会主席 Patrick Seguin 在电话采访中说道，他的声音因激动而哽咽。
这将是对“我们经济残存部分的致命一击”。
Le Grix de la Salle 是那些正准备好迎接挑战的创业者之一。

华盛顿 —— 5 个州已同意接收来自全国各地的核废料，以换取联邦政府在核能开发方面的帮助，从而创造数千个就业机会。
这 5 个州 —— 爱达荷州、路易斯安那州、俄克拉荷马州、田纳西州和犹他州 —— 的州长均为共和党人，他们表示欢迎这次机会，以帮助美国夺回在民用核能领域的领导地位。

Grady-White Boats 荣誉首席执行官 Eddie Smith Jr. 于 7 月 20 日在北卡罗来纳州格林维尔总部停留。KATE MEDLEY / THE NEW YORK TIMES
将价值 $400M 的公司捐给慈善机构
作者：David Gelles 《纽约时报》
In 1968, Eddie Smith Jr. bought a fledgling boat maker based in Greenville, North Carolina. It was a risky move. The company, Grady- White Boats, was in trouble.
但史密斯扭转了局面，如今这家专门设计用于沿海水域的高端娱乐钓鱼船制造商，年收入高达数亿美元。在此过程中，史密斯始终完全控制公司，从未引入外部投资者，也没有向公众出售股票。
现在， 83 岁的史密斯做出了最后一次重大决定：他放弃了潜在的 $400 million 收益，并承诺将 Grady-White 未来的所有利润捐给慈善机构。
“上帝真的眷顾我，让我能够将绝大部分净资产捐出去，”他在一次采访中说道。“我不需要一艘 200 英尺长的游艇，也不需要去地中海过冬。在北卡罗来纳州东部，我就心满意足了。”

孟加拉国，拉杰沙希（RAJSHAHI） —— 在气温升至 104 度的情况下，他在加油站的人群中与数百名村民一起等待了三天。人们试图插队，冲突随即爆发，警察挥舞着警棍介入。
为了获得购买柴油的机会，杜拉尔·侯赛因（Dulal Hossain）忍受了这一切。
他被对水稻作物的担忧所折磨，那是他绝大部分生计的来源。他最终用自行车将柴油载回家——柴油装在系在车把上的油桶里——这些柴油将为水泵提供动力，以便用地下水灌溉他的田地。水泵此前已空载。
那是 3 月下旬，孟加拉国西部的旱季，也是美国和以色列对伊朗发动战争一个月后。随着通过霍尔穆兹海峡的航运中断，全球能源价格飙升。
在南亚，柴油短缺。因此，农作物失去了水分。
随着中东战争限制全球能源供应，数百万农民正面临燃料（尤其是昂贵的柴油）的短缺和价格上涨，这威胁到了他们的灌溉渠道，并危及粮食供应。面对作物减产，亚洲和非洲的许多农村家庭正通过借贷来支付耕种成本，挑战了他们生产未来作物的能力。
在世界大部分地区，海峡的关闭阻碍了粮食和化肥的运输，导致价格大幅上涨。
由于此次危机发生在国际救援体系大幅削减之际，索马里和苏丹等国家正遭受极度饥饿甚至饥荒。
“葡萄酒行业已经陷入危机好几年了，而且随着地缘政治问题、如今普遍存在的通货膨胀问题，以及葡萄酒在年轻人中不再流行这一事实，情况正在恶化，”勒格里克斯·德拉萨尔（Le Grix de la Salle）说道。
“旅游业曾是该行业唯一仍在增长的动态部分，无论是对我们还是更广泛的波尔多葡萄酒而言，”他说，“而现在这件事变成了刹车。”

随着总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）试图将国内核能生产增加到四倍，因为数据中心和人工智能热潮导致电力需求激增。特朗普还采取行动重塑独立的核监管委员会，以加快核反应堆的开发。在特朗普的指示下，该委员会建议取消一项基础性安全原则，该原则在 50 年来最大限度地减少了美国民众接触的辐射。
NRC 的提案将放弃将辐射暴露保持在“合理可行最低水平”的理念，转而设定一个关于最大辐射暴露的独立标准，其中包含几项行动

在食物相对充足的地方，命运的逆转现已展开。专家担心，更高的灌溉成本可能会使一些农民放弃种植。
“如果这种柴油危机持续下去，农民可能不再有兴趣继续投资，”经济学家兼全球可持续发展研究机构 Change Initiative 联合创始人扎基尔·侯赛因·汗（Zakir Hossain Khan）表示。
这场战争给许多国家带来了深远的冲击——随着美国与伊朗之间不断扩大的冲突再次封锁霍尔木兹海峡的交通，这种冲击目前正获得新的动能。
孟加拉国的情况代表了一个关键维度：灌溉的中断。根据一项估计，全球四分之一的耕地依赖灌溉，而这些土地生产了全球 40% 的食物。电力驱动的灌溉系统通常对环境更友好，且不易受到像海峡关闭这类事件的冲击。
但许多国家仍依赖柴油。
法国最大的松树林以及历史名城波尔多（联合国教科文组织世界遗产地）。
商会表示，在这一国防和航空航天工业枢纽地区（包括空中客车、达索和泰雷兹），已有 39,000 家企业受到影响。
商会称，能源成本的上涨已经在挤压利润。在 7 月中旬一项针对该地区企业的民意调查中，约 94% 的受访企业表示面临困难。
他指出，波尔多市和利布尔讷市的两家商业法院报告称，从 2025 年 6 月到今年同月，企业清算数量增加了 37%。
波尔多市长托马斯·卡泽纳夫表示，一些餐厅经营者告诉他，预订量已骤减。他正在抵制其他官员要求人们避开该地区的呼吁。他多次强调，该市并未撤离，也没有停止营业。
设施必须根据工作人员可能接触的辐射剂量采取措施。
加利福尼亚州众议员迈克·莱文表示，关于核燃料的公告早已预料到，且需要两党协作来解决艰巨的核废料挑战。民主党人莱文一直推动拨款以安全地移除和处置乏燃料。
斯科特·罗克尔曾任国家核安全局官员，现为亲核团体“核规模计划”的顾问，他表示设立校园（园区）是一个好主意，但他提醒，由于成本和安全问题，不应在当地对乏燃料进行再处理以回收为新燃料。
孟加拉国的水泵依赖柴油。
专家一致认为，此类系统应通过太阳能运行来增强，以限制成本和驱动气候变化的排放。而且在许多地方，水泵正在耗尽地下水。
但目前，为数亿人种植食物仍依赖于柴油。
“这仍然是生命线，”经济学家、孟加拉国农业大学前任副校长萨塔尔·曼德尔表示，“你不能立即停止，否则就会出现粮食安全问题。”
在孟加拉国，15 million 户土地面积小于 3 英亩的家庭共同生产了该国约三分之二的大米——这是当地的主食作物。鉴于小农场的中心地位，农业经济遭受的任何打击都可能产生剧烈后果。
即使在最好的时代，种植食物也需要希望。农民习惯于各种风险和变量，从不合时宜的降雨到热浪。然而，战争又增加了地缘政治的麻烦。
与伊朗的交锋 加剧了人们对该地区 更多空中袭击的恐惧
作者：Qasim Nauman 以及 Euan Ward 《纽约时报》
伊朗军队周五表示，其对科威特的美国军事目标发动了无人机袭击。随着美国与伊朗之间新一轮的敌对行动，人们再次担心中东将回归全面战争。
伊朗军方在国家媒体发布的一份声明中表示，此次袭击的目标是艾哈迈德·贾比尔空军基地的美国资产。
一名要求匿名的美国国防部官员确认，伊朗发射了多枚飞行物，主要针对科威特，但对该地区的美国军事基地没有产生重大影响。
科威特军方在一份声明中表示，其在领空内探测并摧毁了多架无人机，并补充称，拦截行动造成的碎片坠落导致了财产损失，但没有人员受伤。
伊朗军方表示，此次袭击是对近期美国军事打击的回应，而此类打击在近几日有所增加。
负责监督美国在中东军事行动的美国中央司令部周四表示，由于伊朗前一天向中东美军发射弹道导弹，美方对伊朗境内的地点进行了打击，包括军事指挥中心以及导弹和无人机设施。

总统在秋季选举前 利用西班牙移民危机

马里兰州，戴维营 —— 唐纳德·特朗普总统将周五的内阁会议移至戴维营，利用这座总统度假地历史悠久的乡村背景来吹嘘其政府的成就，同时利用西班牙的移民危机，为选民为何应让共和党继续执政提供理由。
此次内阁会议是特朗普第二任期内的第 13 次此类集会，距离 11 月的中期选举仅剩三个月。如果民主党控制国会的一个或两个议院，这次选举可能会对其权力形成制约。
他对西班牙的警告呼应了他 2018 年中期选举前使用的措辞，当时他警告称有移民车队正向美国南部边境进发。
“你知道，我看到了西班牙

结束了美国与伊朗之间直接攻击的短暂暂停期，近几个月来，双方在冲突与谈判之间剧烈摆动。本周，包括约旦和沙特阿拉伯在内的几个美国盟友也再次面临无人机和导弹的袭击。
埃及也首次遭到袭击，当地当局周四表示，前一天一名身份不明的无人机在地中海达米埃塔港引起了爆炸。
此次袭击引发了两艘船只起火，其中包括一艘美国所有的液化气存储油轮。此次事件似乎没有干扰苏伊士运河的交通，但分析师表示，这表明……
“昨天，我目睹了这场发生的灾难。看起来就像是成千上万的人在入侵一个国家，”唐纳德·特朗普说道。“如果共和党人不能当选，同样的事情将发生在我们身上。而且会更糟，规模更大。”
在过去的 24 小时内，约 60,000 名移民从摩洛哥跨境进入西班牙的塞塔小飞地。据西班牙政府称，其中大约一半的人已经自愿返回。
另外，他将针对明尼苏达州 30 个水系统的系列网络攻击之责，推给了该州“极不称职”的民主党领导层。
官员们尚未公开确认袭击者的身份，尽管联邦调查局（FBI）、网络安全和基础设施安全局（CISA）及其他机构在上周的一份咨询公告中警告称，伊朗黑客一直将水系统、废水系统以及其他关键基础设施部门的运行控制系统作为目标。
“他们归咎于伊朗，”唐纳德·特朗普在没有提供证据的情况下说道。“我不这么认为。我认为我归咎于明尼苏达州，因为他们极不称职。”
总统在任期内经常召集内阁会议，将其作为推广政府政策并就当日新闻回答问题的场合，但周五这次会议的不同之处在于它是在戴维营举行的。戴维营是政府拥有的度假地，坐落在马里兰州的卡托克廷山脉中，唐纳德·特朗普在第一任期内仅在此举行过一次内阁会议。
唐纳德·特朗普在会议开始时指出，这次会议是“非常独特的”。
白宫称，这是首次在总统度假地电视直播的内阁会议。
“这里是戴维营，这个房间是一个非常、非常特殊的房间，”唐纳德·特朗普说道。
在唐纳德·特朗普回答记者提问之前，国务卿马可·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）和国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）等内阁官员发表了讲话。会议的公开部分在约一小时后结束。
在问答环节中，唐纳德·特朗普就伊朗战争的最新进展以及他所达成的一项协议发表了评论。

西班牙，休塔 —— 休塔总统周五表示，在过去 24 小时内，约 60,000 名移民从摩洛哥进入西班牙的微小领土休塔，这一数字相当于这座北非城市人口的 70%。在旅途中至少有 57 名移民死亡。
西班牙政府表示，在如此多移民突然抵达引发混乱和人道主义危机后，部分移民已自愿返回。
一些移民在海中游泳行驶数英里，并面对尝试用水炮、催泪瓦斯和警告射击将其击退的当局。
胡塞武装（一个由伊朗支持的也门民兵组织）宣布封锁沙特船只，并攻击红海中的船只，红海在战争期间已成为石油出口的重要航线。
中东局势可能会进一步干扰全球贸易。
包括油轮在内的商船经常成为目标，尤其是在霍尔木兹海峡，这里通常是全球能源供应的关键通道。
对航运的威胁还扩大到了中东的其他地区。
沙特阿拉伯周四表示，在十几个国家的支持下，它正在组建一个军事联盟以保护航运。目前尚不清楚该联盟将如何运作，以及参与者将贡献什么样的资产（如军舰或飞机）。
沙特外交部还宣布，与美国军队共同打击伊拉克境内由伊朗支持的民兵组织，该部将对沙特石油设施遭受袭击的责任归咎于这些民兵。
周五，一名要求匿名的沙特官员在袭击后试图安抚巴格达，强调袭击仅限于民兵武器库，并非针对伊拉克人民或政府。
该官员声称，只有在外交手段穷尽之后才采取了打击行动。
与此同时，首批两架旨在为中东行动提供支持的美国军机于周五抵达保加利亚东南部的一座空军基地，这引发了伊朗的投诉，因为保加利亚居民也一直在抗议此次部署。
特朗普政府在利用空军基地支持与伊朗的战争方面，面临来自一些欧洲盟友的抵制。
但保加利亚（北约和欧盟成员国）的立法者在 7 月早些时候投票同意允许部署最多八架飞机。

（他在周四）宣布，这将导致巴勒斯坦组织哈马斯的解除武装。
他也感叹，用于补偿其盟友的 18 亿美元 billion 反武器化基金已经“死亡”，并似乎撤回了他在本月早些时候做出的向乌克兰授予制造爱国者防空系统许可证的承诺。
“我认为这永远不会发生，但你知道，有些人，你给他们那种技术，有一天他们可能会反过来对付你，”特朗普补充道。“看看战争，这些年发生过几次，对吧？所以我们必须非常小心。”
关于哈马斯协议，特朗普承认，该协议还将导致以色列从加沙撤军，将会有“起起伏伏”。尽管如此，他称这是一个“巨大的突破”，而美国与伊朗（哈马斯的主要支持者）的战争对此有所推动。
特朗普还谈到了阻碍托德·布兰奇被确认任命为其司法部长职位的反武器化基金，称这笔资金已经“死亡”，并表示“说实话，我希望它还没死”。
总统继续为那些可能从该基金中受益的人辩护，主要是那些……
西班牙部署了武装部队和额外的警察，以恢复休达（Ceuta）的秩序。休达位于直布罗陀海峡地中海入口处，自 1580 起一直是西班牙的领土。
在边境的摩洛哥一侧，安全部队与移民发生了冲突。这场混乱在国外也产生了连锁反应，意大利和法国承诺将加强对从西班牙入境人员的管控。
美国 KC-135 加油机，以及 250 名携带个人武器、弹药和机场设备的人员，抵达贝兹梅尔（Bezmer）空军基地。
根据 2006 年美国与保加利亚签署的国防协议，位于首都索非亚东南 160 英里的贝兹梅尔设施是一个共用设施。任何对该基地的启用都需要经过议会批准。
此次部署获授权至 10 月 1 日。
总统 唐纳德·特朗普 在 Truth Social 的帖子中感谢了保加利亚总理鲁门·拉德夫（Rumen Radev），感谢其“尽管面临伊朗的威胁”仍允许此次部署。
周四，保加利亚外交部长韦利斯拉瓦·佩特罗娃（Velislava Petrova）向其伊朗同行阿巴斯·阿拉奇（Abbas Araghchi）保证，此次部署“绝不意味着保加利亚对伊朗采取的方式有所改变”。
两国是重要的贸易伙伴。
保加利亚外交部的一份声明引用佩特罗娃的话称，任何与中东冲突相关的直接军事行动“绝不可能”从保加利亚领土上发起。
自美国与以色列与伊朗的战争于 2 月 28, 18 名美国服役人员阵亡。
周五，陆军中士莎拉·兰珀萨德（Sarah Rampersad），28 岁，在纽约市下葬。她在 7 月 17 日一次针对约旦空军基地的伊朗袭击中丧生。一名来自皇后区（纽约市一个行政区）的家庭朋友表示，兰珀萨德出生于特立尼达，大约 5 岁时随母亲和姐姐搬到纽约。

构建数据中心需要数千名技术熟练的人员
作者：Lydia Depillis 《纽约时报》
密歇根州 沃伦 (WARREN) —— 作为底特律的一名实习电工，泰勒·谢尔顿 (Tyler Shelton) 每天的大部分时间都花在钻进人孔井来修理电缆和其他电气设备上。但最近，他的公司将许多工人派往了一个刚刚动工、距离此处约一小时车程的巨大数据中心。
“每个人都想要那笔钱，”29 岁的谢尔顿在学徒期每月两次的课堂日午休期间说道。“我们有工作要做，但我们也正因为这些数据中心而失去很大一部分人力。”
不久，他可能也会加入他们：据州政府称，OpenAI 在萨林镇 (Saline Township) 的项目是密歇根州历史上最大的单一投资项目，需要数百名电工每周 7 天，每天工作 10 小时。
尽管有加班费的红利，谢尔顿的心情却很复杂。
“我想在明年左右买一套房子，”他说。“所以，我理解这种吸引力，但我也希望能有工作之外的生活。”
在底特律电气工业培训中心，数据中心的繁荣成了每个人关注的焦点，约有 850 名学徒在漫长的工作日之间在这里接受培训。这些巨型项目正以高薪和奖金将技术贸易工人吸引到偏远地区。
对于那些投入数亿美元以确保有足够人员建设和运行数据中心的人工智能公司来说，下一代电工同样是重中之重。
这种承诺包括了这家培训设施，它是国际 (International) 合作伙伴关系所支持的 270 家设施之一。

法国 朗通 —— 拿着浇水壶和水桶，让-弗朗索瓦·波内尔 (Jean-François Pauner) 在森林地面上从一处小火点移动到另一处，扑灭那些席卷法国西南部面积达巴黎四倍之多林地的山火小火苗。
“这是我第一次实时经历这种火灾，我可以告诉你，它非常凶猛，”64 岁的波内尔说道。
波内尔是无数动员起来支持消防员与法国多年来最大规模山火作斗争的志愿者之一。
“我在保护我的森林，我的家，”他说，将浇水壶里的水倒入一个冒烟的沟渠中，就像在给花园浇水一样，随后在酷热中喘着粗气。
这场山火席卷了大西洋沿岸的人工林（该地区还以高耸的沙丘和旅游度假胜地而闻名），在波尔多以西摧毁了 162 平方英里的土地，迫使近 25 万人离开家园和度假地。

电工兄弟会及承包商。作为 Google 一项 $50 million 计划的一部分，该组织计划在 Google 选择的地点，将未来三年的年度学徒入学人数从 19,500 人提高到 30,000 人。另一项来自资产管理公司 BlackRock 的资助将扩大其德克萨斯州数据中心的培训管道，这是旨在扩大熟练贸易的一项 $100 million 努力的一部分。
承包商。
在美国历史上，没有与当前数据中心建设热潮相媲美的先例。这种热潮是由那些拥有近乎无限资金、竞相满足其 AI 模型激增需求的公司所推动的。
这种爆发式增长抵消了其他部门（如办公楼建设）的低迷活动，后者在疫情后从未恢复。住房受到高利率的压制，离岸风电则因政治反对而受挫。尽管如此，对劳动力——更不用说土地和材料——的竞争，已开始影响到行业的其他部分。
当地当局表示，今年夏天发生了多起火灾，包括地中海瓦尔地区，那里格罗斯-贝西隆 (Gros Bessillon) 山脊的一场大火在强风驱动下于周五再次燃起。该地区的几个城镇已实施撤离。
随着本周较凉爽、较潮湿的空气移入法国西南部，当局允许 224,000 名撤离者中的三分之二返回家中，其中一部分人在周五返回。
但许多地方的地面依然在闷烧。
“情况已经稳定，但并未完全停止，”法国内政部长洛朗·努涅斯 (Laurent Nunez) 告诉 RTL 广播电台。“热点依然存在。”
长期干旱和气候变化造成了易发火灾的条件。波内尔表示，该地区经历了两个多月没有明显降雨，导致植被异常干燥。
“毫无疑问，资源非常有限，因此建设某项设施的决定在某种程度上会拖累另一项，”牛津经济研究院 (Oxford Economics) 建设与基础设施咨询业务负责人马里奥·伊亚科巴奇 (Mario Iacobacci) 说道。
开发商正在为工人支付溢价，尤其是在他们建设数据中心的农村地区。根据招聘网站 Indeed 的分析，数据中心的每小时安装和维护工作的薪资比其他领域的类似工作高出 42%。
在这种虚高的薪资背后是一场竞价战。在达拉斯和北弗吉尼亚等数据中心建设密集的市场，工人可以为了奖金或更高的日津贴而跳槽。这种竞争促使承包商转向 Aerotek 等人力资源服务公司。
“这创造了一种非常微妙的劳动力紧张局势，”Aerotek 数据中心市场开发总监马蒂·谢格 (Marty Schager) 说道。“目前那里有一个被动的求职者群体，我...
地面，以便用自来水熄灭埋在底部的余烬，这是一项漫长且艰苦的工作。努涅斯表示，乌克兰成为最新一个提供援助的国家，将在未来几天派遣 70 人和 10 辆车。
调查人员怀疑，清理植被的承包商在上周不小心引发了这场大火。但其他火灾则被归因于纵火者或刑事过失。
欧洲其他地区火灾仍在继续。
由于强风影响，希腊许多地区的森林火灾风险被列为高危或极高危。本周，三名希腊消防员在南部克里特岛灭火时牺牲。
消防部门发言人瓦西里斯·瓦斯拉科吉安尼斯上校表示，消防员正在处置全国 73 处森林火灾，其中 51 处发生在周五。
在英国，全国有一半地区正遭受干旱袭击，消防员在萨福克郡东海岸的一片荒原上与山火搏斗，该地靠近一座核电站，消防部门表示该电站未受到威胁。

但人工智能时代促使科技公司更深地介入建筑业。它们正与社区学院和工会合作设计课程，以便让人员尽快进入现场，即使他们是在职学习。
在规模最大的行动之一中，Facebook、Instagram 和 WhatsApp 的母公司 Meta 在第一年拨出了 $1.15 亿美元，并表示这将是一项多年期的承诺，用于培训建筑工人，首批参与人数约为 5,000 人。他们将完成为期四周的培训课程（旅费和住宿由该公司承担），然后在 Meta 的一个站点工作。

联合国——联合国官员周五警告称，一个不断增强的厄尔尼诺现象在其早期阶段就已经打破了强度记录，随着其发展，可能会在世界范围内引发更多极端天气，“为已经起火的地球火上浇油”。
哥伦比亚大学的科学家报告称，本周用于衡量厄尔尼诺强度的太平洋一个关键区域达到了自形成以来第 15 周的最高且最剧烈的温度水平，而此时该现象仍处于生命周期的早期。
厄尔尼诺是赤道附近太平洋的一种自然变暖现象，会扭曲全球天气模式。它在未来几个月内不会达到顶峰，并预计将持续到 2027. 春季。联合国机构世界气象组织 (WMO) 周五警告称，这可能会在明年之前引发极端高温、干旱和强降雨。
“两个月前，我警告说厄尔尼诺正来到我们的门口。现在它已经进入了屋内——并且正在调高温度，”联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯 (Antonio Guterres) 周五告诉记者。“我们已经经历了一个极端之夏——打破纪录的热穹顶；西班牙、法国以及更遥远地区肆虐的末日般的山火；在酷热环境下数千人丧生。”
“但根据最新的科学研究，这仅仅是热身环节，”古特雷斯说，他表示随着厄尔尼诺的增强，它将“为已经起火的地球火上浇油”。
该计划部分由非工会贸易协会“美联建筑商与承包商协会” (Associated Builders and Contractors) 运营。该协会正在制定一套针对数据中心量身定制的基础建筑技能课程，希望确保项目能够按时且在预算内完成。
“最初的目标是，‘嘿，让我们尽可能多地让这些人进入 Meta 的工地，把他们留在内部，’”该协会劳动力发展副总裁乔尔·赛姆斯 (Joel Thames) 说道。“如果有人离开并进入另一个部门，或者去了一家没有在 Meta 工地工作的承包商那里，我们都认为那是没问题的。”
肖恩·麦加维 (Sean McGarvey) 是北美建筑贸易工会 (Building Trades Unions) 的主席，这是一个代表 3 million 工人的联盟。其附属机构每年在学徒计划和其他继续教育上花费约 25 亿美元 billion，由雇主和工会成员支付。麦加维表示，只要他们早早承诺雇佣工会工人，他的团体可以像 AI 巨头那样培训尽可能多的人员。

秋季或左右，但科学家表示，这并不能保证。
在厄尔尼诺近一年的生命周期中，目前还太早看到许多直接影响，但科学家们认同古特雷斯的警告，称这些影响即将到来。厄尔尼诺的影响将与燃烧煤炭、石油和天然气造成的长期全球变暖相结合。
“我们看到，该特定区域出现了有记录以来最炎热的 7 月，”哥伦比亚大学气候科学家杰弗里·沙曼 (Jeffrey Shaman) 说道，该区域被用作厄尔尼诺的指标。“一年后，北半球将会非常炎热。我们可能会经历一个全球范围内前所未有的夏天。”
但在那之前，强厄尔尼诺可能会导致降雨模式的变化，在秋季和冬季给世界不同地区带来混乱的极端天气。
世界气象组织警告称，印度尼西亚、印度及亚洲其他地区、澳大利亚、南美洲和非洲很有可能出现干旱和山火。其他地区，包括美国大部分地区和遭受火灾袭击的南欧，降雨量将高于平均水平。
OpenAI 在 3 月份那样做了，承诺将与工会合作为其项目配备人员。McGarvey 称 Meta 的努力是“一次绝妙的公关手段”，并认为一个月的培训无法与传授广泛技能的四年学徒制相媲美。
与建筑贸易工会合作还能带来政治支持。大西洋东部各州木工区域委员会助理执行秘书兼财务主管 Anthony Abrantes 表示，如果当地工会确定将参与某个项目，他们通常会支持该项目。否则，他们将不参与讨论。就像在激烈反对面前逐渐萎缩的离岸风电产业一样，数据中心开发商需要尽可能获得所有本地信誉。
“那些行业在制止流言和教育社区方面做得非常糟糕，”Abrantes 说。“这几乎就像是我们在替他们做倡议和业务开发。”
建筑工人对数据中心的看法也往往复杂多样。
Starr Sciortino 正处于电工工会学徒培训的第二年。她热爱排除故障，并且刚刚开始参与通用汽车在密歇根州 Lake Orion 工厂的大规模改造项目。但她将在数据中心工作比作协助建造武器工厂。
“我不认为任何金钱值得牺牲任何对社区有益的资源，”22 岁的 Sciortino 说道。“无论它持续多久，最终真的值得吗？”随着建设规模达到顶峰，这个问题在即将成为熟练工的学徒们心中挥之不去。训练有素的电工可以转向核电站、公寓楼或制药厂。但很难想象有任何项目能达到目前这种规模。
“这是一个预测风险并在影响展开前采取行动的机会，”世界气象组织 (WMO) 秘书长 Celeste Saulo 说道。
古特雷斯表示，虽然厄尔尼诺和气候变化是不同的现象，但它们的影响产生了一种有害的组合——而且人们还没有足够认真地对待这种联系。
“我们听到了很多关于创纪录的高温、干旱和山火的消息——但关于驱动这些事件的真正变化，即由化石燃料驱动的加速气候危机，报道还不够多，”古特雷斯说道。
古特雷斯表示，世界过于沉浸在乌克兰、中东和苏丹的激烈战争中，而忽视了气候变化的危险。除此之外，“还有一项蓄意的计划，即化石燃料行业和一些国家，试图假装我们正在见证的问题实际上并不存在。”
他告诉记者，联合国必须更加积极并动员公众舆论，“告诉各国政府，现在是时候将这一威胁视为对我们所有人的生存威胁了。”
美国、沙特在伊拉克 的袭击导致 PMF 至少 20 名战士死亡
作者：Raja Abdulrahim 《纽约时报》
约旦安曼 —— 伊拉克是数十个武装民兵组织的大本营，这是 2003, 美国领导的入侵该国以及对抗极端主义组织“伊斯兰国”战争留下的遗产。现在，其中一些民兵组织再次被卷入吞没中东的更广泛冲突中。
人民动员部队（Popular Mobilization Forces，简称 PMF）是一个与伊朗有联系的伊拉克民兵伞形组织，PMF 在周三的一份声明中表示，在美国和沙特在伊拉克全境针对该组织总部发起的一波空袭中，至少 20 名战士死亡。
伊拉克与伊朗和美国都保持着密切关系，经常发现自己被夹在交战双方之间，伊拉克领土有时甚至变成了代理战战场。伊拉克在加强对民兵组织的控制方面也一直面临困难。
什么是 PMF？
伊拉克众多的民兵组织最初是在 2003 年美国领导的入侵和占领伊拉克之后形成的，这导致该国出现了广泛的反美情绪。邻国伊朗（与伊拉克一样，什叶派穆斯林人口占多数）对此做出的反应是，帮助培训和武装伊拉克什叶派民兵，以攻击在伊拉克的美国占领军。
2014, 当伊拉克在与迅速扩张的逊尼派极端主义组织“伊斯兰国”作战时，许多什叶派民兵在名为“人民动员部队”的组织下集结，共同对抗该组织，当时该组织已夺取了伊拉克的大部分地区。PMF 内部的一些民兵组织接受来自伊朗的军事和财政支持。
当时，其中一些民兵组织还与美国领导的打击“伊斯兰国”组织联盟开展合作。
司法部撤销对前奥运选手 在华盛顿特区反思池案件中的指控
来自新闻服务机构
华盛顿 —— 美国司法部周五采取行动，撤销了一起刑事案件。该案件指控一名奥运选手蓄意破坏林肯纪念堂反思池。
政府律师在一份 20 页的法庭文件中表示，自大卫·希恩（David Hearn）被起诉以来提供的信息显示，该损坏是由于“承包商安装缺陷”以及“为了在 2026 年独立日期间围绕美国 250 周年庆典相关活动之前匆忙完成项目”所致。
美国检察官珍妮妮·皮罗（Jeanine Pirro）在文件中表示：“鉴于所有这些新发现的信息，很难将反思池的大规模损坏归因于蓄意破坏，更不用说在排除合理怀疑的情况下确立这一事实了。”
希恩的律师在的一份声明中表示，针对他的指控根本不应该提起。
律师表示：“今天的撤诉并不能抹除政府在逮捕和指控一名没有做错任何事的爱国美国人时对权力的滥用。政府采取的方式是先开火，再瞄准。政府欠希恩先生一个道歉。”
希恩在 7 月对一项破坏财产的重罪指控表示不认罪，并原定于 9 月 28 日在华盛顿特区高级法院开庭审理。该指控若被定罪，最高可判处 10 年监禁，指控希恩给水池造成了至少 $1,000 的损失。

在获得美国和伊朗支持并成功将伊斯兰国组织从该国大部分地区赶走的 PMF 部队中，有一支名为巴德尔组织（Badr Organization）的民兵。当时该组织也被指控对伊拉克逊尼派穆斯林少数群体成员实施暴行。该民兵组织是周三空袭的目标群体之一。
近年来，随着部分领导人进入部长级职位，PMF 获得了政治影响力，并同意在伊拉克国家安全部队的管辖之下。但它从未被完全整合，其伞下的部分民兵组织继续保持高度的独立性，并与伊朗维持密切关系。
最新的冲突
美沙联合空袭目标为——
剥离的涂层，并短暂接触了附着在水池侧面的一块碎片，但他表示他听从了公园工作人员的要求而将其松开。
根据美国奥林匹克和残奥委会网站显示，现年 67, 岁、来自马里兰州贝塞斯达的希恩曾参加过三届夏季奥运会，其最好成绩是在 1996 年亚特兰大奥运会上获得第九名。
他及其支持者表示，这次起诉是特朗普政府出于政治目的，试图转移责任并寻找替罪羊。
火箭将撞击月球：一枚 SpaceX 火箭在一年多前发射一对月球着陆器后，目前正处于漂移状态，且其航向将与月球相撞。
该火箭的第二级将于周三无意中撞击月球，形成一个陨石坑并激起一片尘埃和碎片，科学家们以及天文爱好者们都对此充满期待。
太空追踪专家比尔·格雷（Bill Gray）预测，撞击速度将达到 5,400 英里 / 小时——即音速的七倍——位置在月球向阳西缘的爱因斯坦陨石坑附近。
由于此次事件发生在凌晨时分，美国东部、加拿大东部以及南美洲大部分地区应能获得最佳观测视野。
尽管科学家们并不太担心这块特定的太空垃圾，但这凸显了随着越来越多的物体挤进轨道，威胁正在日益增长。
计划在加拿大新不伦瑞克省观察后续情况的格雷表示：“上面的空间越来越拥挤了。”
PMF 的行动于周三清晨进行。美国表示，由于这些民兵近期发起了无人机袭击，美国对伊拉克的伊朗代理武装组织发动了攻击。
美国中央司令部在社交媒体上表示，在伊朗革命卫队的指导下，伊拉克民兵本周对中东地区的美国军队以及沙特阿拉伯的能源基础设施发起了 30 次以上的无人机袭击。
这些伊拉克民兵中没有一方为近期的袭击负责。
沙特外交部周三在由国家媒体发布的一份声明中表示，该国不寻求升级冲突，但不会犹豫地应对任何侵略行为。

月球意外。2022 年，一段中国火箭残骸在月球背面砸出了两个陨石坑。
军用喷气机坠毁：美国海军陆战队表示，一名 F-35B 隐形战斗机飞行员在飞机于加利福尼亚州坠毁前成功弹射，预计可生还。
该飞机周五在圣迭戈的米拉马尔空军基地附近坠毁。单架 F-35B 战斗机的成本约为 $1.09 亿美元。
“飞行员已弹射，并在状态稳定地被送往当地医疗机构，以对非致命伤进行评估和治疗，”海军陆战队在一份声明中表示。
来自新闻直升机的航拍视频显示，一团黑烟从泥地残骸中升起，附近有多辆军用车辆、消防车及人员在场。地面上覆盖着看似白色阻燃剂的物质，且至少有一人在用消防水带向残骸喷水。
谴责这次“针对伊拉克主权及其武装力量的令人发指且毫无正当理由的袭击”，并呼吁伊拉克政府对这些袭击采取坚定立场。
2 月 28 日，当美国和以色列对伊朗发动战争时，另一支伊拉克民兵组织——真主党旅（Kataib Hezbollah）的总部遭到空袭。此次袭击造成三名民兵成员死亡，其余人员受伤。
美国中央司令部和以色列军队均未宣布对此负责，但 PMF 将其归咎于“犹太-美国军队”。
真主党旅以及伊拉克境内其他亲伊朗武装组织立即威胁要报复美国和以色列。这些民兵表示，他们是在捍卫伊拉克主权并支持伊朗。
3 月初，美国驻巴格达大使馆遭到火箭弹袭击。
圣迭戈消防局发言人坎蒂丝·哈德利（Candace Hadley）表示，消防员已在现场处理坠机地点附近引发的植被火灾。她将进一步的问题转交给了米拉马尔基地。
银行法规：特朗普政府宣布对一项关键的民权时代立法规则进行全面修订，最显著的是减少了需要完全遵守该法律的银行数量。
货币监理署（Office of the Comptroller of the Currency）和联邦存款保险公司（Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation）周五共同宣布了对《社区再投资法》（Community Reinvestment Act）的拟议修订。该法律要求监管机构记录银行在向中低收入社区提供贷款方面的表现。
没有任何组织对此负责。此后，真主党旅和其他民兵向伊拉克境内的美国目标发动了无人机和火箭弹袭击。
该组织还承认对一些高关注度的绑架事件负责，包括今年在巴格达绑架美国记者谢莉·基特尔森（Shelly Kittleson）。她在被绑架一周后获释。
真主抵抗阵线（Kataib Hezbollah）长期以来与伊朗的圣城旅（Quds Force）保持密切联系，后者是伊朗强大的革命卫队在海外的分支机构。在 2009 年，美国将其指定为外国恐怖组织。
真主抵抗阵线和巴德尔组织（Badr Organization）属于部分在国家控制之外运行的民兵组织。
伊拉克政府立场
伊拉克总统府谴责美国和沙特阿拉伯对 PMF 总部的袭击，并表示认为这是一种“不可接受的攻击，公然违反了伊拉克的主权，且违反国际法和《联合国宪章》，瞄准了其官方安全机构”。
周三的声明还表示，政府拒绝将伊拉克领土用作“攻击邻国或解决地区及国际恩怨的发射台或战场”。
伊拉克总理阿里·扎伊迪（Ali al-Zaidi）在 4 月上台后不久，下令该国民兵组织接受国家的直接控制，试图约束这些武装团体。这并非伊拉克首次尝试加强政府对民兵的控制，但之前的尝试均告失败。
一些与伊朗联系最紧密的强大民兵组织拒绝了政府此次的尝试。
更侧重于贷款银行在某些社区和地理区域的活动，而较少关注他们开设了多少分行，或从当地社区吸收了多少存款。
需要遵守规定的银行数量也将随之减少。
关于古瑟里（Guthrie）的笔记：当局在调查南希·古瑟里（Nancy Guthrie）失踪案时发布了一封早期的赎金信，希望有人能认出该书写风格。周五发布的第二封信指出，84 岁的古瑟里在被绑架后不久便已死亡。
两封信最初都是在《今日》（Today）节目主持人萨凡纳·古瑟里（Savannah Guthrie）的母亲 2 月 1. 在图森市郊家中失踪几天后，发送到亚利桑那州图森市的一家电视台的。当局尚未说明南希·古瑟里是否还活着。
……认识或与该笔记作者打过交道的人。”
2 月 2 发送的第一封信称，古瑟里很安全但很恐惧，一旦绑架者收到 $4 百万加密货币，她将被平安释放；如果第一项要求未得到满足，赎金金额将会增加。
史密斯会见教皇：摇滚传奇帕蒂·史密斯（Patti Smith）在周五会见教皇利奥十四世（Pope Leo XIV）时感到非常兴奋，几乎不知如何措辞。
“你好，”她在使徒宫的办公桌前坐到利奥对面时轻声说道。
史密斯佩戴着十字架项链，梳着她标志性的辫子，由于她与梵蒂冈文化部次长安东尼奥·斯帕多罗（Antonio Spadaro）神父的友谊，她在梵蒂冈的出镜率日益提高。
情感涌动，一场截然不同的泪之表演
作者：Jessi Roti 为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写
Lorde（原名 Ella Yelich-O’Connor）上一次在 2017 年地参加芝加哥的鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节时，才唱了两首歌，一场雷暴天气引发的紧急疏散就夺走了她和观众本可以拥有的、基于其具有开创性的第二张专辑《Melodrama》而定将震撼的表演。
在周四晚上的压轴演出进行到大约三分之一时，她回忆起了九年前的这段经历。当时她在 T-Mobile 舞台结束演出，而对面 Bud Light 舞台上则是来自内珀维尔的本土艺人 John Summit。在来自新西兰的流行乐创作者与（近在咫尺的）家乡英雄之间做出选择，成了乐迷们一整天讨论的话题：在摩天轮的排队队列中，在饮水补给站的队伍里。
“我当时太兴奋了，”她回忆道，并特别提到歌曲《The Louvre》中关于“夏日心动、渴望与痴迷”的部分是她最期待表演的。
“而且我一整天都非常紧张，因为我真的很在意芝加哥，”她在谈到回归时补充道，并简短地提到了她在 2014 年 17 岁时首次参加 Lolla 音乐节的经历。
她以相对极简的舞美制作而闻名（当她的首张专辑《Pure Heroine》在 2013 年首次发行时，她几乎是在黑暗中表演的）。这次在舞台上，有两名乐队成员在键盘、吉他和贝斯之间交替演奏，两名现代舞者同时扮演一对情侣和陌生人，以及一个校园饮水机。
她通过质疑流行文化的虚饰与消费、不确定的未来、衰老以及对被看穿的恐惧等歌词，使自己在同辈中脱颖而出，在流行音乐的舞池中为内省开辟了更大的空间——也为早期 Z 世代的词曲作者赢得了无可否认的认可度。在编舞和灯光设计中利用几何形状与阴影，像《Buzzcut Season》、《Shapeshifter》和《Oceanic Feeling》这样的歌曲在数千名聚集在 T-Mobile 舞台的观众面前，呈现出一种近乎幽魂般的特质。她的动作与肢体扭曲极具感染力，有时甚至故意表现得“丑陋”（这是褒义，我们热爱这种戏剧感），这位歌手在舞台上舞动、爬行，并在一个将她抬高至人群上方数百英尺的升降台上翻滚。这给人的感觉更像是一次精疲力竭的脆弱剖析，而非一场宏大的胜利。

在今年格兰特公园鲁拉帕卢za音乐节的音乐人名单中，散布着近年来人气上升的艺人，其中一些得益于网络上的病毒式传播——即便对于那些职业生涯已超过十年的艺人来说也是如此。社交媒体继续在塑造人们的兴趣方面发挥作用，包括他们发现哪些艺人以及如何与这些艺人的音乐互动。对有些人来说，这体现在通过流媒体服务和口碑发现新音乐；而对另一些人来说，则是刷 TikTok 等应用程序，直到下一个大牌艺人出现。
对于伊丽莎白·尼古尔斯（Elizabeth Nichols）来说，她是一位乡村歌手兼词曲作者，其歌曲《I Got a New One》和《Little Birds》在 TikTok 上迅速获得了数千次的观看、点赞和评论，社交媒体正助力让音乐变得触手可及。

一名工作人员在 Lorde 表演前分发瓶装水。
……拍，Lorde 的观众完全沉浸在共同的情绪宣泄中。她甚至演唱了《Liability》——标志着在鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节上又是一年流泪之时。
“未来与我想象的不同。它更艰难，也更黑暗。我感到害怕，”她坦言。
“对于我们来说，一起跳舞、哭泣、互唱，是我感到自己还活着最好的方式之一。但我很遗憾地告诉你们，它将变得
音乐，或者希望我发行音乐，如果不是因为 TikTok。我绝不会在一百万年里这样做。我认为现在的音乐是历史上最容易获取的。”
在过去的两年里，Nichols 完全接纳了她在网上收到的喜爱，并通过面对面和虚拟的方式将其回馈给粉丝。
“我喜欢发帖，我觉得那是与每个人建立联系的最佳方式，”Nichols 说。“尤其是通过演出与人们见面，出去接触那些听我音乐的人，这太酷、太棒了。长期以来，这仅仅是 TikTok 上的评论，所以现在能够拥抱他们，对他们说谢谢，听到他们唱我的歌，感觉完全不同。这真的很酷。”
一些参加音乐节的人表示，他们是通过多种方法发现自己喜欢的艺术家的，包括在 Spotify 上随机播放歌曲、与朋友交谈以及探索社交媒体。23 岁的 Eliza McManus 就是这种情况，她在周四开演日唯一的 goal 就是在独立流行创作歌手 Audrey Hobert 的演出前到达护栏前，也许是作为他们的开场嘉宾。
变得更艰难、更黑暗。这就是我们手中的牌。但我们可以生存下去，”Lorde 继续说道。
“把它变成你想要的样子。每天问问自己，当我可以自由行动时，我是否在表现得像被困住一样？Lolla，我们必须保持清醒。因为此时此刻的感觉太好了，而它现在正从我们的指缝中溜走。它是属于我们的，而且它是美丽的。”
所以，当舞蹈时间到来时，他们跳起舞来。

《Green Light》、《Supercut》、《Perfect Places》和《Team》成为了青春躁动与放纵、喜悦与发现的赞歌。另一位周末领衔艺人 Charli xcx 的惊喜（虽然是吗？）现身，共同演唱 2024 年《BRAT》专辑中《Girl, So Confusing》的混音版，进一步将她 12 年的职业生涯推向焦点。有时做一个女孩确实非常令人困惑。
将结尾曲《Ribs》献给那些还在寻找自我的孩子们，舞台上充盈着粉色的激光灯。一群观众在齐唱副歌部分“You’re the only friend I need”时跳跃并拥抱，随后没入一片人海与肢体之林。
在事实发生近十年之后，此时没有一片雨滴，Lorde 完美地完成了演出。
Jessi Roti 是一位自由评论家。
……比我感觉以前能做到的要多，”Hoffner 说。“以前，我会通过 Tumblr 发现他们，然后是 Instagram，接着是 TikTok 和 Vine 等等。但现在我觉得 Spotify 是我如今发现艺人的主因。”
另一方面，社交媒体是 22, 岁的 Alaina Sebring 发现 Hobert 的途径，她在 2025 年歌曲《Sue Me》发布并走红时第一次听到她的音乐。
“百分之百，我现在基本上所有人都这样发现的，”Sebring 说。
同样参加音乐节的 20, 岁 Victoria Morris 呼应了 Sebring 的想法，并补充说社交媒体的饱和度有助于增强她对一名艺术家的喜爱程度。
“你更有可能地看到他们，看到他们的表演，看到他们发布动态，然后你会觉得‘噢，这很棒’，而不是仅仅在广播里听到一首歌，”莫里斯说。“你一遍又一遍地听到它。你随时随地都能听到，你在刷社交媒体，每刷 3 次就能看到一次‘Sue Me’，而不是在广播里每 20 首歌才能听到一次。”
披头士乐队专辑《Rubber Soul》的新版本将于 10 月 2 日发行。EVENING STANDARD 1964
再发行版将包含未公开的演示录音
来自新闻服务机构
即将再发行的披头士乐队《Rubber Soul》专辑中将包含一段约翰·列侬此前未公开的歌曲演示录音（demo）。
这张 1965 年录制的专辑经过重新混音，计划于 10 月 2 日发行。专辑中包含了对《Michelle》、《Day Tripper》、《Nowhere Man》和《We Can Work It Out》等知名曲目的全新诠释。
但吸引许多“披头士四人组”狂热粉丝关注的是一段由已故的约翰·列侬创作、名为《Little Girl》的歌曲演示版本。一份新闻稿将该曲目描述为“一段此前从未被听到、也从未发行甚至未被传闻过的约翰·列侬歌曲草案”。
这段神秘的演示录音是在 1965 年为期一个月的一场录音室会议期间录制的，当时披头士乐队刚刚在纽约市的谢伊体育场演出完毕。关于该曲目的详细信息知之甚少。
这次推出的《Rubber Soul》“超级豪华”合集包含演示录音、未收录片段和替代曲目，此外还附带一本 88 页的图书，其中包含披头士乐队贝斯手兼主唱保罗·麦卡特尼撰写的序言。
此次再发行版由格莱美奖得主盖尔斯·马丁制作。

咨询埃里克 (ASKING ERIC)
亲爱的埃里克：我的丈夫多年来一直与酗酒问题作斗争。在过去的几年里的不同时间点，他因此遭受了法律制裁并失去了工作。
在最近一次住院之后，他停止饮酒好几个月。但就在最近，他又开始喝酒了，他声称只是“偶尔喝一点”。这让我和家人其他成员感到不安，因为我们认为这是一个危险的下滑趋势。
然而，与他关系亲密的婆婆拒绝承认他的问题。尽管医生诊断他的健康状况是由过度饮酒引起的，但她将他的住院归咎于饮食不健康。
最近，她在一次除了我丈夫之外没人饮酒的家庭活动中走进来，放下了一瓶葡萄酒，并说：“让我们派对起来吧。”
我该如何在不冒犯她的情况下让她知道，她这种“包容”的行为正在阻碍他的康复？ —— 担忧的配偶
亲爱的担忧者：你可能不得不冒着冒犯她的风险，但考虑到你丈夫的健康和安全，这是值得付出的微小代价。
你的婆婆所表现出的这种否认心态，正是 Al-Anon 和 SMART Recovery Family 等组织成立的目的所在。这些会议可以帮助酗酒者的家属认识到问题，了解在促使亲人改变方面自身能力的局限性，并开始处理他们对亲人的……
流行叛逆者与名声的博弈
作者：Maria Sherman 美联社
当 查莉-XCX 发布时长不足两分钟、充满电子故障感的《Rock Music》（这是《Music, Fashion, Film》的首支单曲）时，她几乎立即被贴上了“挑衅者”的标签。
这首歌带有 hyperpop（超流行）的矫饰，并在歌词中俏皮地向创作致敬——“我想舞池已死 / 所以现在我们在创作摇滚乐”——这让人们感到困惑和迷茫。她是在反讽吗？她是真心的吗？整张专辑是否都由强力和弦（power chords）组成？她那部改变时代基调的 2024 年电子专辑《Brat》是否值得被完全否定？
在《Music, Fashion, Film》中找不到答案。这取决于听众的判断。专辑中呈现的是 11 首反类型的歌曲，配以眨眼般的摇滚乐器编排，专注于艺术创作与自我意识。而显而易见的是，查莉-XCX 及其忠实团队——共同制作人兼词曲作者 A.G. Cook 和 Finn Keane——拥有一个统一的协作愿景，就像一支乐队那样。
从概念上讲，《Brat》在享乐主义的巅峰时期，凭借其对歌词脆弱性的坚定追求，将俱乐部文化与恐慌发作（或至少是日记页）联系在一起。《Music, Fashion, Film》达到了同样的深度，但现在的焦虑主要集中在名声、创造力和表演上。
名声与感知一直对 查莉-XCX 至关重要。在《Music, Fashion, Film》中，它们依然重要——只是不像她对“成为艺术家的意义”的诸多思考那样重要——而这些思考贯穿在失真效果和幽默感之中。
如果你还没有参加这类会议，请去了解一下。你可以亲自前往或在线参加。由于你丈夫的酗酒问题，你承受着巨大的情感——或许还有法律或财务上的——负担，与走过同样道路的人交谈并获取应对策略将会有所帮助。
不幸的是，你无法控制你的婆婆如何行动或思考。那是她必须独立面对的事情。这并不是说你不应该与她谈谈。你可以使用“我”开头的陈述句来反映你在丈夫酗酒问题上的经历，并对她在丈夫面前的行为提出要求。但改变行为取决于她，且最终取决于你的丈夫是否能为自己的酗酒承担责任并寻求有效的治疗。
你可以支持他，你可以陪他参加会议，你也可以邀请他的母亲参加 Al-Anon 或 SMART Recovery 家庭会议，但他们必须与你一起迈出这一步。
亲爱的埃里克：我的儿子二十多岁，与比他大 10 岁的詹姆斯处于一段长期关系中。詹姆斯在 2023 年获得了机械工程学位，但目前仍处于失业状态。
尽管詹姆斯申请了几个职位，但没有获得成功。他拒绝考虑其特定领域之外的工作，结果导致我的儿子在经济上支持他，包括偿还詹姆斯的学生贷款。詹姆斯拒绝考虑兼职工作，甚至拒绝通过志愿者活动来建立人脉，从而潜在地扩大其就业机会和社交圈。
我的儿子向我倾诉了

《2007》写于拍摄 TikTok 视频期间，在强力和弦的衬托下避免了空洞感，这些和弦听起来像某个初学者在练习流行朋克翻唱，并为专辑奠定了一个显著的底色：器乐部分是可重复的，通常注重节奏驱动的极简主义和替代调律，那是早年音乐之爱的声音。
制作则是另一回事。其中充满了复杂性，比如在迷人的后摇曲目《Magic Metal Montana》中出现了意想不到的节奏变化，这是一首写给 Cook 的纯友谊情歌。
“SS26”中朗朗上口的和弦与鼓机副歌，缺少了一些像“Yeah”和“Wink Wink”那样提供吉他-鼓-贝斯喘息空间的歌曲所具备的律动。但它明显缺乏让《Brat》大获成功的打击乐元素，这一点倒是令人欢迎。
……在我看来，他对这种情况正变得非常沮丧。虽然我尽量在不作判断的情况下倾听并保持支持，但我越来越担心詹姆斯（James）在利用他。
我应该向詹姆斯坦白，让他知道我对这件事的看法，还是应该将我的意见留在心中？ —— 乐于助人的母亲（Helpful Mother）
亲爱的 Helpful：折中处理。不要与詹姆斯沟通，因为如果你这么做了，你就会将自己卷入你儿子关系中正在进行的冲突，这会分散寻找解决方案的注意力。
这样一来，詹姆斯的“问题”就变成了他的岳母，而不是他的工作状况以及这种状况如何影响他的伴侣。詹姆斯和你儿子需要自己解决这个问题，但你的推动并不太可能成为让他最终摆脱这种困境的因素。不过，你可以问问你的儿子是否愿意听取建议，如果愿意，告诉他你的观察，并建议他在面对詹姆斯时，对于现状要更加坚定或坦诚。
你的儿子可能需要一个他信任的人告诉他，这件事并不是他必须忍受的。因为他才 20 多岁，他可能还没有与伴侣通过沟通解决冲突的经验，因此在如何进行此类对话方面，可以从一些指导中获益。
因为他比詹姆斯年轻，他也可能觉得没有权力充分表达自己的想法，或者他内心深处可能认为詹姆斯比他更懂行。因此，你的声音——作为支持而非批评——将至关重要。

如果 查莉-XCX 正在寻找自我重塑的方法，她已经找到了几种，比如在松散且带有回响的“I’m Afraid”中。这首歌不可避免地会引发人们将其歌词与梅雷迪思·布鲁克斯（Meredith Brooks） 1997 年的热门单曲“Bitch”进行比较，尽管 查莉-XCX 采取的是自我鞭笞的方式，而布鲁克斯则将批评转化为武器。但这掩盖了这首歌的魅力：松散的贝斯，以及令人感到幽闭恐惧的副歌。
2026 年的元虚构纪录片《The Moment》可能预示了《Music, Fashion, Film》。这部电影记录了名人雄心实现之后发生的事情。它并不是这张专辑的配套作品，但两者有着共同的意识形态：它们都揭示了成为 查莉-XCX 是怎样的体验，且没有艺术家制作的纪录片中那种自我神化。两者都幽默，两者都充满真实感，同时塑造了一个接近她真实情况的人格。而且，最终两者都让人感到有点眩晕。
在整个职业生涯中， 查莉-XCX 始终处于一个十字路口：她是一位拥有流行之星知名度的邪典经典艺术家。《Music, Fashion, Film》是这种摇摆不定的身份的又一次进化，是一次大胆的尝试，尽管新粉丝可能会低估其价值。如果真是那样，那将令人失望：在这里，她依然是当今最有趣的流行反叛者之一。

《早间节目》将在第 5 季完结
来自新闻服务机构
Apple TV 最近宣布，即将到来的第五季《早间节目》（The Morning Show）将是该剧的最后一季，并承诺最后一段旅程将由“星光熠熠”的阵容出演。
詹妮弗·安妮斯顿透露，她与执行制片人瑞兹·威瑟斯彭在进入拍摄阶段时就已知晓此事。
“从一开始，Apple 就支持我们对《早间节目》的愿景，我们感到非常幸运，能有机会讲述反映我们周围世界发生的事情，并加入一点黑色幽默，”她在 Apple TV 的一份声明中表示。“能与这群才华横溢的演员以及我们卓越的编剧、制片人和工作人员合作，是一项极大的荣幸。我们已经变成了一个家庭，大家都非常激动地准备分享最后一季。因为在开始时就知道这将是最后一季，我们很幸运能够有意识地构思结局，并给予这些角色应有的尊重。”
这部剧集大致基于记者布莱恩·斯泰尔特的书籍《早间之巅：残酷的早间电视世界》（Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV），描述了一个虚构的早间新闻访谈节目的幕后生活，其情节直接取材于现实生活中的新闻头条。
“这一直以来不仅仅是一部关于新闻编辑部的剧——它是一部关于新闻编辑部为何重要的剧，”威瑟斯彭在 Apple TV 的声明中说道。“关于新闻自由，以及那些往往付出巨大代价来守护第四权力（新闻界）的记者。讲述这个故事是我职业生涯中在创作上的特权。”

《德里女孩》创作者正在开发《Wildwood》：由爱尔兰作家丽莎·麦基（Lisa McGee）创作的一部以新泽西海岸为背景的新喜剧正在筹备中，麦基此前创作了爆红剧集《德里女孩》（Derry Girls）。
据 Deadline 报道，《Wildwood》将讲述一群大学女生在 2000 年夏季从爱尔兰访问新泽西的故事，她们当时“没钱、没签证、没计划、没头绪”。
麦基的《德里女孩》在 2018 年首次在英国 Channel 4 播出，随后登陆 Netflix 后成为巨大的国际热门剧集。该剧讲述了 20 世纪 90 年代北爱尔兰动乱期间，一群在天主教女子学校就读的、混乱、粗鲁且古灵精怪的青少年（包括《布里杰顿》主演尼古拉·科格伦）的故事。
这部剧对麦基来说是一个半自传故事，她在德里长大，擅长塑造那些让观众感到尴尬、流泪并大笑的不羁且俏皮的年轻角色。

在据报道经过激烈的竞标过程后，该剧将与 20th Television 和 FX 共同开发。麦基将担任创作者和执行制片人。
Hauser称拍摄过程中面临“挑战”：电视明星 Cole Hauser 表示，在拍摄《黄石》（Yellowstone）和衍生剧《达顿牧场》（Dutton Ranch）之间，一切都发生了变化。Hauser 是少数几位在两部剧中均出演的演员之一，而后者在《黄石》创作者 Taylor Sheridan 的参与度较低。
“确实存在挑战，你知道吗？因为没有 Taylor 在场，”Hauser 说道，“对于我们来说，要真正地与这些新编剧、新导演以及这些人合作——一切都改变了。”
Hauser 在原剧和衍生剧中均饰演牧场主 Rip Wheeler，他表示在拍摄期间专注于创作过程。饰演 Beth Dutton 的 Kelly Reilly 和饰演 Carter 的 Finn Little 是另外两名从《黄石》跨越到新剧的主要演员。
“我们必须在实际操作中摸索如何真正地表演并讲述一个故事，”Hauser 说道，“我对我们所取得的成就感到自豪，并期待再次尝试。”

如果 8 月 1 日是你的生日：当宇宙对某事进行考验时，如果它不够强大，就会失败。但你命中所需的东西永远不会被夺走；所有被夺走的东西，随着时间的推移都会被更好的情况所取代。这在某种程度上概括了你的 2026 年——前半部分是考验。白羊座（3 月 21 日-4 月 19 日）：创造力作为一种神圣且转瞬即逝的震动，其本质就自动地反抗任何控制的尝试。金牛座（4 月 20 日-5 月 20 日）：支配可以赢得僵局，但永远无法赢得人心——因此，虽然它可以赢得许多战斗，但最终总会输掉战争。双子座（5 月 21 日-6 月 20 日）：当一个人执意要误解时，没有任何魔术能让他们明白——如果他们目前的想法对他们有利，那么他们就没什么动力去考虑其他可能性。巨蟹座（6 月 21 日-7 月 22 日）：无论你现在在想什么，现在都不是做出任何重大决定或支出的好时机。强权并不代表正确——无论今天、明天还是任何一天。寻找能带来纯粹快乐的事物。狮子座（7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日）：轻声细语；志同道合的人会立刻明白。而那些不契合的人则不会，且无论音量多大他们都不会明白。处女座（8 月 23 日-9 月 22 日）：倾听内心最睿智的声音，而不是那些催促混乱的声音——你知道其中的区别。播下最细微的种子可以创造更大的变动。天秤座（9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日）：正面硬刚并不是取得进步的方式，除非双方对寻求解决方案的执念高于获胜。天蝎座（10 月 23 日-11 月 21 日）：这件事交给宇宙处理吧，现在的任何额外推动都可能被误读，反而起到适得其反的作用。零度以下的星象很少能促进理想的结果，至少在周一之前先搁置这件事。射手座（11 月 22 日-12 月 21 日）：理性的声音可能勉强能听到，但非常微弱。很容易选择错误的道路，请仔细聆听直觉中的真相。摩羯座（12 月 22 日-1 月 19 日）：在目前的星象下，处理财务事务甚至做出决定都是巨大的“不行”。无论促销活动多么诱人，进行大额购买也是如此。请等到周一或之后。水瓶座（1 月 20 日-2 月 18 日）：消费冲动可能超过了理智且难以抗拒，但只要你决定可以，你就能做到。让长期目标胜过瞬间的满足感。双鱼座（2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日）：有些障碍的大小取决于你的看法，当然并非所有障碍如此。留意你是否倾向于将问题灾难化。如果你这样做，普通的问题很快就会变得不可收拾。

今天的牌局来自近期的一场俱乐部复制赛。所有南北对子都达到了四级黑桃，并面对红心Q的首攻。大多数庄家在这次合同中失败了，因为他们假设王牌（主牌）会出现有利的 3-2 分布（这种情况大约在三分之二的时间里会出现）。他们在暗桩中吃掉一张方块之前，先出掉了两张顶级的王牌。他们不得不损失两个王牌墩，一个方块墩和一个梅花墩。
有一位庄家更加谨慎。在动用王牌之前，他出掉了方块A和K，并在暗桩中吃掉了一张方块。东家过吃并转换到梅花J。南家在暗桩中用A赢得该墩，并出掉王牌K。随后，他在手牌中吃掉一张红心，并在暗桩中吃掉最后一张方块。东家同样过吃，但此时防守方只能获得一个梅花墩，而南家完成了他的合同。他在手牌中用K赢得了随后的梅花墩，并出掉王牌A，无论王牌在谁手中，这都能确保拔掉最后一张王牌。做得漂亮！这种打法还给南家带来了一个获得超墩的渺小机会——这在对子赛中弥足珍贵。如果两名对手在第三轮方块中都跟牌，南家将在暗桩中用一张小王牌吃掉最后一张方块。如果王牌分布为 3-2，且持有三张王牌的对手过吃了第四张方块，这将产生一个超墩。

击球指导员就村上 为何“特别”发表看法
由 LaMond Pope 撰写 《芝加哥论坛报》
佛罗里达州圣彼得堡 —— 村上宗隆 (Munetaka Murakami) 在击球区的独特才华在周三对阵纽约洋基队的第八局中，通过一次短暂但极具影响力的击球得到了展现。
这位芝加哥白袜队的一垒手击中了保罗·布莱克本 (Paul Blackburn) 的首球曲球，将球击出 404 英尺，飞越左中外野墙，击出了一支扳平比分的本垒球。

强劲开局未能转化为得分
由 Andy Martinez 撰写 为《芝加哥论坛报》
可以相当肯定地假设，芝加哥小熊队棒球运营总裁杰德·霍耶 (Jed Hoyer) 将在周一的 MLB 交易截止日期前增加投手补强。
“那个位置是投手的球，早期的曲球，低且偏外，”白袜队击球指导员瑞安·富勒 (Ryan Fuller) 周四在 Rate Field 表示。“他能够跟住球并完成该球击球的能力非常特别。
“而且他还拥有身体天赋。挥棒速度，以及能将球击出场外的身体素质。大多数人如果挥棒击中那个球，要么是击中棒端，要么是飞向游击手的高飞球。
“你可以看到村上的特殊天赋。
在有 13 名球员处于伤病名单且正争取在十月进入季后赛的情况下，球队需要增援。而且，如果左投手今永升太 (Shota Imanaga) 能像周五在理格利球场 2-0 负于纽约洋基队的比赛中那样表现，任何投手方面的补强将显得更加可观。
科恩的评论
作者：Sean Hammond 和 Brad Biggs 《芝加哥论坛报》
芝加哥熊队教练本·约翰森希望看到他的球队在半场结束前的最后几分钟里表现得更好。
上赛季，四分卫卡莱布·威廉姆斯和进攻组在第四节有时像魔术师一样，但在第二节的局面足球（situational football）方面则没那么成功。
“这是我们重点强调的一个方面，”约翰森说道。
这一点在周五的哈拉斯大厅（Halas Hall）显而易见，熊队在那里进行了训练营的第三次练习，也是第一次在有球迷在看台观看的情况下进行练习。以下是值得关注的重点。
卡莱布·威廉姆斯观察
熊队上赛季在第四节完成了 7 次惊人的逆转。但第二节末段是一个关键时段，约翰森知道他的球队可以做得更好。
在 2025. 年，除了第二节，熊队在每个节的得分都高于对手。他们在该节仅得 93 分（场均 5.47 分），而失分 143 分（场均 8.41 分）。
“我们（周四）晚上在球队内部讨论了这个问题，而（周五）是我们第一次尝试在半场结束前两分钟处理这种情况，”约翰森说。“一年半以来我一直这么说：只要你强调某件事，通常会因为这一点而看到好的结果。”
约翰森将他的进攻组置于半场结束前 1:37 平局的场景中。威廉姆斯带领首发球员推进了 61 码，最后以一次 14 码的达阵传球给科尔斯顿·洛夫兰结束了这次进攻。
跑卫 D’Andre Swift 在 43 码线的一次第三档 3 码（third-and-3）进攻中，通过一次中路冲球成功转换档位。当口袋在威廉姆斯周围崩溃时，进攻组还克服了一次被擒杀的情况。防守截锋 Gervon Dexter Sr. 似乎是擒杀时距离最近的防守者。两次针对防守方的越位犯规也起到了帮助作用。
对于一支在第四节局面足球方面如此出色的球队来说，上半场和下半场之间的差距令人费解。
“我们的球员明白这有多重要，”约翰森说。“如果我们能正确处理半场前的程序，这就是我们在比赛过程中可能‘偷到’一次球权的方式。当然，我们也希望在进入半场休息时拥有比之前更多的势头。”
今日新闻
周五的左截锋位置出现了轮换。Kiran Amegadjie 在首发阵容中参与最多，但 Jedrick Wills Jr. 也有参与。在与首发球员共同训练了两天后，Braxton Jones 主要与第二阵容——

在连续五场主场比赛的第一场中，为 Sky 队（10-18）效力。DiJonai Carrington 在因脚踝扭伤缺席前 27 场比赛后完成了赛季首秀，在 16 分钟的比赛时间里得到了 9 分。
Aneesah Morrow 为 Sun 队（7-22）贡献了 21 分，投篮命中率为 8-of-12，球队遭遇连续第四场失利。Olivia Nelson-Ododa 获得 16 分、11 个篮板、4 次抢断和 3 次盖帽，Diamond Miller 贡献 14 分，Leila Lacan 得到 12 分和 6 次助攻。
Lacan 在还剩 4:54 时完成一次强攻上篮将比分追平至 76 平，但 Cardoso 在 16 秒后以一个上篮予以回击，引发了一波决定性的 11-2 进攻高潮。
Isabel Harrison（个人原因）和 Skylar Diggins（膝盖受伤）没有为 Sky 队出战。Sky 队的下一场比赛是周六在 Wintrust Arena 对阵拉斯维加斯 Aces 队（中午 12 点，CBS-2 频道）。

以及第三阵容进攻组。
就像去年一样，Johnson 想要审视所有选项。Jones 可能是赢得该位置的首选，但这绝非板上钉钉。
Jones 表示，轮换有时会是一个挑战。
“我预料到会是这样，”他说，“说到底这就是一场竞争。无论被安置在哪里——第一阵容、第二阵容还是第三阵容——你必须上去发挥并完成你的任务。”
Amegadjie 是 2024 年第三轮选秀球员，职业生涯仅首发过一场比赛，他在两分钟演习中与第一阵容进攻组共同训练。
聚焦球员： D’MARCO JACKSON
谈谈 D’Marco Jackson 经历波折的 12 个月吧。
去年这个时候，这位线卫正试图在教练组变动中生存，并勉强留在新奥尔良圣徒队的名单边缘。他最终被放弃，而熊队签下他部分原因是防守协调员 Dennis Allen 曾在新奥尔良与 Jackson 共事，但更多是出于他对特勤组的贡献。
Jackson 迅速融入了特勤组，在球员受伤时，他最终在 4 场比赛中担任线卫首发，其中对阵匹兹堡钢人队时贡献了 15 次擒抱。在战胜克利夫兰布朗队的比赛中，他完成了一次拦截和一次擒杀。
自由球员市场开启后，Jackson 从熊队获得了一份为期两年、价值 $7.5 million 的合同。周五，他在头盔上贴着绿点，作为线卫向球队开会传达指令。
事情将如何发展仍有待观察。Devin Bush 是确定的首发。T.J. Edwards 仍处于非足球受伤名单中，球队称其为轻微的右小腿受伤，他的缺席为 Jackson 和其他人创造了更多训练机会。到目前为止，Jack Sanborn 主要在基础阵型中担任强侧位置。在 Edwards 康复后，Jackson 可能也会在那个位置上获得机会。
毫无疑问，Johnson 非常欣赏 Jackson 在去年没有在圣徒队获得太多防守时间后所带来的贡献。
“每年都有这样的球员，你起初对他们知之甚少，但他们最终能帮你赢得比赛，”Johnson 说，“在去年的赛季关键阶段，他确实做到了。 (Allen) 认识他，他熟悉战术，熟悉防守，所以在这方面他能迅速进入状态。”
“他在我们特勤组的工作中也是至关重要的一部分。很快我们就能看出他在队中的表现，以及他与队友的沟通方式，从而知道他会非常契合我们的团队和运作方式。”
“而且他带有一点好胜心。我喜欢他的风貌和方式。他也是个卡罗来纳男孩，所以（我们）有共同的纽带。我对 D’Marco 的评价极高。”
现场速递
在宣布脚部感觉“极好”的一天后，Rome Odunze 在训练早期的球队练习中完成了一次精妙的接球。Odunze 将两臂高举过头，接住了 Williams 在中场传来的球。
除了半场结束的情景模拟外，熊队还专注于红区训练。在一次全队训练中，威廉姆斯与洛夫兰配合完成了一次达阵。到目前为止，洛夫兰继续表现出在对位中给防守方带来麻烦的能力，正如他上赛季末那样。
“他的多功能性很强，”杰克逊说。“他是一个优秀的路线跑动者，身体很灵活。他在接球点和接球半径方面非常出色。他是一个全面的球员，我觉得他在训练营中将会是一个挑战。”
在一次 7 对 7 的红区训练中，角卫杰伦·约翰逊在端区拦截了威廉姆斯的一次传球。当时威廉姆斯再次尝试在边线标记附近通过短传寻找洛夫兰，而约翰逊预判并截击了传球路线。

第二阵容进攻组的半场结束情景模拟因新秀外接手扎维昂·托马斯的一次干扰接球犯规而受阻。替补四分卫泰森·巴根特在场地中线附近的 3 档 10 码尝试中未能与外接手斯科蒂·米勒取得连接，这次进攻最终以一次弃踢告终。
值得关注的引用
利亚姆·科恩并不是唯一一个能找到素材向球员推销“被轻视”信号的 NFL 教练。
“嗯，我们是排名 No. 1 的退步候选者，所以我们自己就有充足的动力，”本·约翰逊周五说道。
约翰逊很清楚，基于熊队一年前 11-6 的战绩以及大量勉强获胜的比赛，有些人对熊队 2026 年的前景持怀疑态度。
这里需要一些背景介绍。杰克逊美洲虎队的教练科恩在本周早些时候的一家杰克逊体育电台节目中提到了威廉姆斯的名字。这也许是对威廉姆斯所获得关注的一次微妙挖苦，但更有可能是为了强调他的球队——上赛季 13-4 的战绩——并没有获得任何全国性的头条关注。
“这就是执教杰克逊美洲虎队最棒的部分：你不需要（虚构激励素材），”科恩在 WJXL 电台直播中说。“你不需要去煽风点火。这些素材每天都会送到我们面前。这是上天的馈赠。”
“我只要拿出手机，浏览 NFL Network 的网站，然后把它弹出来，我想看看能不能看到关于杰克逊美洲虎队的任何照片或内容。我想我只会直接刷过去。”
科恩在直播过程中拿出了手机并浏览该网站。
“我想我会看到 40 张卡莱布·威廉姆斯的照片，而这里一张关于（美洲虎队）球员的照片都没有，”他说。“所以这太美妙了。我会告诉这些球员，你们所有人认为他们有多烂，然后我们会继续前进。”
科恩的言论在社交媒体上引起了威廉姆斯的注意，而这位熊队四分卫非常热衷于增加那些质疑他的人的名单。
“他习惯了处理大量的关注，所以我并不担心那个，”约翰逊说。
熊队和美洲虎队将于 12 月 6 日在士兵球场交手，因此无论是感知到的还是真实的，未来还会有很多被轻视的机会。
伤病与参与情况
跑卫凯尔·莫南盖连续第二天缺席训练。
共有 7 名球员仍留在非足球相关伤病或身体无法参加训练名单中：角卫凯勒·戈登（小腿）、安全卫埃利亚·希克斯（胫骨）、线卫爱德华兹（小腿）、基肖恩·埃利奥特（背部）和诺亚·塞威尔（跟腱）、防守端锋谢马·特纳（膝盖）以及进攻截锋奥齐·特拉皮洛（膝盖）。

“最优秀的潜力球员，”富勒说。“他来到这里，受到了一些打击，必须做出调整。他现在的状态令人惊叹。”
富勒表示，彼得斯的赛季同样是一个“令人惊叹的故事”。
“这不是秘密，当训练营结束而他留在球队时，他被要求：‘嘿，你要多触击并打出出色的防守’，”富勒说。“快进到现在，他成了全明星，并且是我们最好的击球手之一。”
彼得斯在周四以 2-1 战胜洋基队的比赛中，通过满垒时的保送将比赛结束，但在进入周五之前的最后 17 次打席中没有击球命中。
“就像所有这些球员一样，你曾是一名全明星，现在你需要做出调整，”富勒说。“球区中你之前覆盖的部分，对方现在可能根本不会投向那里。他们会攻击不同的区域（并且）我们必须在对抗方面做得非常好。他正在努力克服这一点。”
游击手科尔森·蒙哥马利是白袜队中经历第一个大联盟完整赛季的球员之一。他在去年 7 月被召升，在 2025. 年的 71 场比赛中击出了 21 支本垒打。本赛季他在 102 场比赛中击出了 24 支本垒打。
左打的蒙哥马利在进入周五时的三项击球指标（Slash line）为 .265 / .336 / .537，其中对阵左投手击出了 8 支本垒打。他面对右投手的三项指标为 .195 / .281 / .408，击出了 16 支本垒打。
“左打对阵左投是棒球中最难的事情之一，”富勒说。“你正在做一件非常困难的事，有些球员花了一辈子的时间试图弄明白，而你做到了。这是一个优势。我们如何借鉴这种方法，并将其量身定制到对阵右投的策略中？”
“他会是第一个告诉你的人，无论投手是谁，我都试图击出一记飞球越过游击手的头顶，我想把游击手‘干掉’。所以现在的问题是，我们如何在身体上做出细小的调整，以确保他在面对右投手时，能像面对左投手那样保持封闭，紧盯球路。”
富勒在谈到新秀外野手萨姆·安东纳奇（自 6 月 1 日起打击率为 .289）和布雷登·蒙哥马利（在最近 14 场比赛中打击率为 .288）时说：“这些小伙子令人印象深刻，他们热爱来到球场，每天在一起共同进步。这是其中至关重要的一环。”
作为未来的一块重要拼图，罗奇·乔洛夫斯基在以第 1 顺位被选中后不久，就已经在组织中留下了深刻印象。
“你听到了所有关于罗奇的赞美之词，（并且）在与他共处之后，发现这一切都是真的——他是领导者，热爱棒球，喜欢和队友打成一片，”富勒说。“在（最近的）夏洛特选秀训练营中，他请所有被选中的球员吃了一顿牛排晚餐。一个领导者，一个非常酷的小伙子，希望成为这里的一部分。”

“他现在处于顶尖水平”
作者：Meghan Montemurro 《芝加哥论坛报》
在进入大联盟的第三个完整赛季中，Pete Crow-Armstrong 已经证明了自己是比赛中最好的外野手。
当芝加哥小熊队的中外野手 Crow-Armstrong 还在小联盟时，Kevin Kiermaier 就已经知道了他的存在。Kiermaier 长期担任坦帕湾光芒队的中外野手，在他的 11 个大联盟赛季中，曾四次获得金手套奖（Gold Glove Awards）以及一次白金手套奖（Platinum Glove Award）。他的中外野防守水准被评为大联盟中顶尖的水平。
“我听说了这家伙——‘PCA, PCA, PCA, 他可能是和你同级别球员’——我想，好吧，然后我看了集锦，看到了他的速度、臂力，所有的一切，”Kiermaier 告诉《芝加哥论坛报》。“好吧，这小伙子很强。但我需要看到更多。”
在 2024 年他的最后一个大联盟赛季中，一次截止日期前的交易让他转会至洛杉矶道奇队，这意味着当小熊队在 9 月份前往道奇体育场比赛时，Kiermaier 第一次亲眼目睹了 Crow-Armstrong 的防守。他回忆道，那是他见过的外野手最令人印象深刻的防守系列赛——而且那个版本的表现仅仅是个开始。
在过去的两个赛季中，Crow-Armstrong 将他的防守提升到了另一个水平，去年获得了他的首个金手套奖，并且凭借 2026 年的表现，很可能再次获奖。
“他太不可思议了。如果他能保持现状，并拥有我们许多人认为他可能拥有的职业生涯，且一切顺利，以他现在的数据，他绝对会被讨论为史上最佳之类的人，”Kiermaier 说。“考虑到他在场上的局数以及他的表现，目前很难否认他就是最好的。”
“他现在是顶尖的——棒球运动中防守最好的外野手，我看在另行通知前这种情况不会改变。”
高级指标帮助量化了 Crow-Armstrong 超越视觉观察的顶尖能力。
Crow-Armstrong 的起跳高度平均比平均值高出 +5.0 英尺，在 MLB 外野手中排名第一，同时覆盖距离平均值最高（39.8 英尺）。在 Statcast era, 这位 24 岁的球员迅速地为完成低概率接球设定了标杆。在 7 月 20 日于 Wrigley Field 进行的小熊队比赛中，Crow-Armstrong 超越了 Kiermaier，成为了自 2016 年 Statcast 开始追踪数据以来，完成 5 星级接球（以 0-25% 的接球概率衡量）次数最多的人。该指标综合考虑了时间、覆盖距离和方向。
在超越 Kiermaier 后的几天里，Crow-Armstrong 继续刷新了他的记录。截至周二，Crow-Armstrong 仅在 1,123 个局中就完成了 35 个 5 星级接球，在 5 星级球上的成功率高达 54.7%，令人惊叹。Kiermaier 在 2,118 个局中记录了 32 个 5 星级接球，不过该数据未包含他在大联盟的前两个赛季，当时他是右外野金手套奖入围者 (2014) 并在中外野赢得了他的第一个金手套奖 (2015)。
当 Kiermaier 上周得知 Crow-Armstrong 打破了他的 5 星级接球记录时，他回顾了自己的职业生涯、一些出色的表现，以及他如何对自己要求完美。
“当我看到这样的事情时，我会说我希望能回到场上，把一些球接回来，而不是坐在这里说‘原本可以’、‘应该’、‘如果’，但天哪，我心服口服，”36 岁的 Kiermaier 说。“我看到了他的局数与我的对比以及接球数，他在覆盖场地方面太惊人了，他能如此迅速地从 A 点移动到 B 点，完成许多其他球员甚至无法接近的接球，所以小熊队的球迷和投手们太幸福了。”
“你想要人群中发出‘喔’和‘啊’的惊叹声，而当你拥有像他那样的技能组时，你会觉得，嘿，请尽可能把球传给我或传到我的区域，然后看着吧。他非常擅长完成比赛并做出 5 星级接球，以及所有介于其间的其他接球。”
Crow-Armstrong 的 OAA 为 59。
Kiermaier 带着笑意自嘲地承认，他内心好胜的一面并不想说 Crow-Armstrong 是个更好的防守者。
“但他在目前的轨迹上，数据将突破天际，”Kiermaier 说道。“现在是他的舞台，他可以随心所欲地描绘出他想要的蓝图。”
当 Kiermaier 在外野奔跑时，他祈祷如果投手不能让击球手三振，那么球一定要飞向他，特别是在牺牲飞球的情况下，阻止得分就取决于外野手。Kiermaier 认为 Crow-Armstrong 拥有同样的心态，并补充说心态就决定了成功的一半。
“他具备这种心态，并且拥有所有的身体条件，”Kiermaier 说。“我的意思是，他在各方面都是顶尖的，他所做的一切都如此，对他在那片球场上展现出的水准我深表敬意。”
Kiermaier 将其大联盟生涯建立在防守之上。
在 2024 赛季结束后退休后，他在 2025 年为多伦多蓝鸟队工作。在春训期间，他每周有四天与大联盟和小联盟球员在一起，然后在整个赛季中每月在蓝鸟队的一家小联盟附属机构花时间。在这次经历之后，Kiermaier 希望扩大自己的影响力，利用自己在防守方面的声誉，帮助任何级别大联盟组织的外野手。他在休赛期受到启发创建了 3-9 Effect，成为一名外野顾问，旨在引入外野投球计划，指导如何接击球练习球等，努力变革外野防守。
“我知道自己的进攻水平如何，我需要人们在进攻方面给我很多指导；而我看着年轻的外野手和那些在防守上还没有开窍的小伙子们，”Kiermaier 说。“让我告诉你我们如何思考以及如何做事，这样我也能从中获得乐趣。”
Crow-Armstrong 和 Kiermaier 这些年来一直通过短信交流，Kiermaier 偶尔会发一条“你太不可思议了”或“这些接球从未停止让我惊叹”。他们从未面对面见过面，Kiermaier 希望有一天能实现这一点。有时他会从他的兄弟 Dan（小熊队的主场地管理员）那里听说，Crow-Armstrong 让他想起了 Kiermaier。
目前，他将继续关注 Crow-Armstrong 在外野完成的那些精彩表现。
“PCA 太不可思议了，在未来的很多年里他都将是顶尖的，”Kiermaier 说。“我认为我们在 10, 12 年后还可以进行这次对话，到那时我会说，天哪，我当时竟然没意识到他能做到这个、那个以及那样。他理应获得现在所有的赞誉和认可，因为防守是有等级之分的，而他处于最高等级。”

“能够如此频繁且具有竞争力的地投出分叉球，以及他对付左打球员的方式，那个伸卡球，看在眼里非常有意思，”左外野手伊恩·哈普 (Ian Happ) 表示。“今天他没有得到足够的得分支持，但他的表现太棒了。”
今永的正向记录中唯一的瑕疵——在第四局被阿梅德·罗萨里奥 (Amed Rosario) 和第五局被斯宾塞·琼斯 (Spencer Jones) 击出的两支个人全垒打——成为了周五比赛的分水岭。而小熊队的打击线则被洋基队的右投手威尔·沃伦 (Will Warren) 压制，后者在 6 2 / 3 局中完成了七次三振。进入周五前，小熊队在全美联盟的保送数排名第一 (473 次)，但此次比赛未能获得一次保送，这是本赛季第三次出现这种情况。
“我认为，任何时候如果有人能对我们完成 27 个出局数且我们没有一次保送，这意味着对方做得非常好，而且他们的多种球种都发挥了作用，”考塞尔 (Counsell) 说道。“他可以随时投出变速球。在关键球和决定胜负的球数时，他的速球位置控制得很好。他打了一场好比赛。”
小熊队预计将在周一的截止日期前采取积极行动，但如果在轮值顶端增加一名投手与今永搭档，可能会提供巨大的助力，尤其是如果这位左投手能延续近期的势头。他本赛季的防御率 (ERA) 为 3.67，在全明星赛后的三次先发中仅失 2 分（防御率为 0.92）。
“不确定会发生什么，但我很期待，”今永通过翻译说道。“我们的先发投手在赛前会一起在牛棚，互相观察，热身，我们在休息区站在一起。我们会讨论投球，分享想法。如果能增加另一名先发投手，我期待能结识他，并在休息区分享关于投球的想法。”
在系列赛首场之前，小熊队又一名投手进入了伤兵名单。右投手加文·霍洛韦尔 (Gavin Hollowell) 因右肩炎症被列入 15 天伤兵名单。球队从 3A 球队爱荷华队召回了左投手安托万·凯利 (Antoine Kelly)，他是一名芝加哥本地人，毕业于缅因东高中 (Maine East)。
在周四的系列赛收官战中，小熊队以 4-2 击败圣路易斯红雀队，霍洛韦尔在第八局投出了零失分，但他在赛后的恢复过程中难以迅速回弹。
“所以这是一个很明确的信号，我们需要暂停一段时间，”考塞尔在赛前表示。“我认为这不是严重的受伤。他需要一些休息，我想他应该没问题。如果不能在最短时间内回归，我认为我们也离那个时间点很近了。”
凯利完成了他的大联盟首秀，投出 1 1 / 3 局零失分，并通过三振洋基队强棒本·赖斯 (Ben Rice) 化解了第八局两名跑者在垒的危机，完成了职业生涯的第一次三振。
周五的阵容变动很可能是未来几天繁忙状态的前奏，届时将有新面孔走进瑞格利球场 (Wrigley Field) 的主队更衣室。周一的截止日期是小熊队能够向阵容中添加有意义的外部球员的最后一天。由于球队目前占据国联外卡头名，且落后于国联中区密尔沃基酿造者队 6 场比赛，这是通过外部手段增强阵容的最后机会。当然，内部的人员补充也将支撑起投手阵。
终结者丹尼尔·帕伦西亚 (Daniel Palencia) 预计将在周六在瑞格利球场面对击球手，之后可能会进入康复赛阶段，这意味着有可能在几周内回归。贾斯汀·斯蒂尔 (Justin Steele) 也回到了芝加哥，并计划在周六进行投球练习。
右投手爱德华·卡布雷拉 (Edward Cabrera) 计划在周五随爱荷华队进行一次康复赛，而右投手亨特·哈维 (Hunter Harvey) 和本·布朗 (Ben Brown) 可能会在赛季结束前回归小熊队的牛棚。
“这很令人兴奋，”斯蒂尔在周五比赛前说。“本和我讨论过这件事。我们希望能在赛季末回归，并在牛棚或任何需要的地方提供真正有影响力的帮助。这是一个令人兴奋的群体。机会就在我们面前。”

... 鸟类队周五与救援投手 Yennier Cano 签署了一份为期两年的合同，涵盖 2027 和 2028 赛季，并包含 2029 年的球队选项。该协议实质上买断了 Cano 原本有资格申请薪资仲裁的剩余两年，并让鸟类队可以选择在 2029 年将其保留在球队控制之下，或允许他在此时成为自由球员。

科里·西格（Corey Seager）于周五从伤病名单中激活。在与太空人队进行关键系列赛之前，游骑手队还进行了其他几项调整。这位 32 岁的西格因下背部炎症缺席了最后 23 场比赛。在本周早些时候为双A级弗里斯科队进行的两场康复赛中，他在 5 次击球中 1 次命中并击出了一支本垒打，随后在 7 月 1 日之后首次回归球队。西格本赛季仅出战了 51 场比赛。他于 6 月 15 日因脑震荡被列入七天伤病名单并缺席了 12 场比赛，此前在 5 月 15 日因背部炎症缺席了 19 场比赛。本赛季他为游骑手队效力，打击率为 .182，有 10 支本垒打和 25 次打点。游骑手队在进入本周末系列赛时排名美联西区第一，领先太空人队 1 / 2 场。此外，周五，右投手切斯·西尔塞斯（Chase Silseth）在周三从天使队交易过来后向球队报到，并被加入活跃名单。
今井达也（Tatsuya Imai）将在太空人队本周末对阵游骑手队的系列赛中担任牛棚投手。经理乔·埃斯帕达（Joe Espada）在周五三场系列赛开始前表示，原因是这位右投手在上次先发中表现不佳。埃斯帕达表示，目前预计这一调整仅针对本次系列赛。

芝加哥 —— 美国近 30 年来首个女性职业棒球联盟即将开启其首个赛季，这标志着该项运动在美国分散的历史进程中一个重大的里程碑。
女性职业棒球联盟（WPBL）也是一段可追溯至这项运动最早期时间线的一部分。
“女性一直都是这项运动的一部分，”国际女性棒球中心首席执行官 Kat Williams 说道。“我们一直在比赛，一直在担任裁判，一直在执教。”
“在 17 世纪关于类似棒球比赛的最早记录中，参与比赛的正是女性。”
接下来的焦点是 WPBL，该联盟将于周六进行首场比赛。首年共有四支球队 —— 纽约、波士顿、洛杉矶和旧金山 —— 但每支球队的 15 场常规赛以及季后赛将在伊利诺伊州 斯普林菲尔德 (Springfield) 的 Robin Roberts 体育场举行。
该球场可容纳 5,200 人。斯普林菲尔德曾举办过最早的女性付费比赛之一，那是 1875 年 9 月 11 日“金发女队”对阵“褐发女队”的比赛。
Kelsie Whitmore、Mo’ne Davis 和 Ayami Sato 是预计在联盟首个赛季参赛的知名球星。每支球队将在七局制比赛中拥有 15 名活跃球员。
“这太神奇了。这是我们一直希望发生的事情之一，但之前并不确定是否能很快看到它实现，”IWBC 主席兼美国棒球研究协会女性棒球委员会主席 Leslie Heaphy 说道。“它是合适的，是必要的，而且没错，令人兴奋。”
第二次世界大战期间的突破时刻
虽然女性从棒球运动之初就与之联系在一起，但第一个女性职业联赛是全美女子职业棒球联盟（AAGPBL）。这部联盟在电影《她们的联盟》中被永恒记录，其运行时间为 1943-54 年。
AAGPBL 在第二次世界大战期间起步于软式垒球联赛，随后转为棒球。Jean Faut、Doris Sams 和 Dottie Kamenshek 曾是该联盟最优秀的球员。1948 年在 AAGPBL 担任投手且现任 WPBL 顾问委员会成员的 Maybelle Blair 也是其中之一。
“在 1945 年刚开始时，它从未打算维持到那时之后，但事实上它一直持续到 1954 年，我认为这说明了它的重要性，”肯特州立大学-斯塔克分校副教授 Heaphy 说道。
“它说明了相关人员的决心，而且我认为这充分说明了球迷的兴趣。”
好莱坞激发了对女性棒球的新兴趣
在 AAGPBL 停止运营后，又过了 40 年 —— 在电影《她们的联盟》获得票房成功之后 —— 对职业女性棒球的兴趣才重新出现。
从 1994-97 年，名人堂投手 Phil Niekro 管理着一支全女性职业球队“科罗拉多银色子弹队”（Colorado Silver Bullets），该队在全国范围内巡回比赛，对抗男业余和半职业球队。女子职业棒球联盟（Ladies Professional Baseball League）在 1997 年和 1998 年部分时间内运行，随后解散。该联盟最初设立在美国西南部，随后扩展到纽约和新泽西。前大联盟强力击球手 Bobby Bonds 和 George Foster 也参与了 20 世纪 90 年代中期在佛罗里达州设立的另一个短命联盟。
双城队周五从大都会队交易获得了左撇子后援投手 A.J. Minter，换回了小联盟内野手 Bruin Agbayani 和 Billy Amick，在交易截止日期前加强了薄弱的牛棚。19 岁的 Agbayani 是前大都会队球迷宠儿 Benny Agbayani 的儿子，是一名中内野手，本赛季在低 A 级的 Fort Myers 队 10 场比赛中打率为 .268。这位原产于夏威夷的 2025 年第六轮选秀球员此前一直受伤病困扰。23 岁的 Amick 本赛季在双 A 级的 Wichita 队 86 场比赛中打率为 .217，击出 23 支本垒打，司职一垒和三垒。他是 2024 年的第二轮选秀球员。
Minter 在 23 局中取得了 2.35 的防御率，有 20 次三振和仅 2 次保送。直到 5 月 26 日他才完成本赛季首秀，两场大联盟亮相之间隔了超过一年。由于左背阔肌受伤需要手术，他的 2025 年赛季在出场 13 次后结束。Minter 在 2025 年与大都会队签署了一份为期两年、价值 $22 百万美元的合同。他 2024 年在勇者队的赛季也因左髋关节唇撕裂而提前结束，但只要身体健康，他一直是棒球界最有效的比赛后期左投之一。
AAGPBL 与 WPBL 共同关注营销
裙装是 AAGPBL 球员制服的一部分，且她们被要求参加魅力学校。根据棒球名人堂的记载，当时强调女性气质和“淑女”行为。
WPBL 则活跃在社交媒体上，在寻求销售门票和周边商品的同时，详细介绍其球员的背景。
“我们知道在 40 年代和 50 年代确实如此，当时人们倾向于因为地域而关注球队，然后再关注球员。现在他们是先关注球员，对吧？人们现在就是这么做的，”Heaphy 说道。
“所以我认为在提高知名度这个问题上，两个联盟都意识到了这一点。”
芝加哥广告执行官 Arthur Meyerhoff 在 AAGPBL 的创建和运营中发挥了重要作用。
“他是个营销专家，他知道必须这样做，”马歇尔大学名誉教授 Williams 说道，他与 Heaphy 一起担任 WPBL 的咨询委员会成员。“他知道必须塑造一个形象，对吧？”
“我的意思是，任何形式的新尝试都是如此。你必须提出一个形象。我希望人们在 WPBL 中看到的形象是：她们是运动员。她们是优秀的运动员。她们是坚强的女性。她们才华横溢且聪明。我认为这就是要传达的信息。”
AAGPBL 最大的遗产之一与这些女性在球员生涯结束后所取得的成就有关。其中一些女性进入研究生院并获得了高级学位。她们担任重要职务，并认为该联盟开阔了她们的视野，让她们看到了可能性。
由于首发接球手 Ricky Pearsall 因膝伤缺阵，49 人队将带回前 All-Pro 球员 Deebo Samuel 开启第二次效力期。Samuel 周四同意以一份最高价值 $7 百万美元的一年期合同回归 49 人队。Samuel 在 2019 年第二轮被选中后，前六个赛季效力于 49 人队，帮助球队两次进入超级碗，并在 2021 年获得 All-Pro 荣誉，当时他贡献了 1,770 码的 scrimmage 码数和 14 次达阵。Samuel 在 2025 年被交易至指挥官队，换取了一个第五轮选秀权；上赛季他在指挥官队有 72 次接球，获得 727 码和 5 次达阵。他在 3 月成为自由球员，现在将加入 49 人队，在 Pearsall 缺阵期间提供增强支持。Samuel 职业生涯共 406 次接球，获得 5,519 码和 27 次达阵，一直是 NFL 中接球后最具动态的球员之一。自 2019 年以来，在所有接球数至少 100 次的接球手中，他的接球后平均推进 8.7 码排名第一。在 97 场职业比赛中，他还通过冲球获得了 1,218 码和 21 次达阵。此次变动发生在 49 人队宣布 Pearsall 因膝伤缺阵（可能需要手术）的一天之后。——美联社
Cignetti 带领 印第安纳大学 准备卫冕
作者：Steve Megargee / 美联社
芝加哥 — 印第安纳大学教练 Curt Cignetti 表示，他正在“潜伏地打击自满”，以确保在策划了大学足球历史上最惊人的逆转之一后，球队不会出现冠军后的低迷。
在 Cignetti 到任之前的三年里，该计划的战绩仅为 9-27，而他接手后，在最初的两个赛季中均带领球队进入了大学足球季后赛（College Football Playoff），包括获得 2025 年全国冠军。
他希望自己的计划能够保持在攀升过程中所具备的同样锐气。
“我们有自己的做事方式，”Cignetti 说道，“我们的球员们一直在一起，而我们唯一做的事就是赢。”
在 Cignetti 的带领下，印第安纳大学令人震惊的两年历程，已经让这个传统的 Big Ten 陪跑者摆脱了历史上失利次数最多的碗赛分部（Bowl Subdivision）计划这一身份。
这一令人尴尬的“荣誉”现在属于联盟竞争对手西北大学。
显然，印第安纳大学有着更长远的宏伟目标。
他们希望在失去赢得海斯曼奖（Heisman Trophy）的四分卫 Fernando Mendoza 后继续前进。Mendoza 在印第安纳大学度过唯一一个赛季后，在今年的选秀中以首轮第一顺位加盟拉斯维加斯突袭者队。他是创校纪录的 8 名被选中的球员之一。
“我们需要确保今年在进入赛季时，继续沿用与去年相同的蓝图，这包括保持同样的工作伦理，”进攻截锋 Carter Smith 表示。
印第安纳大学在通过转会门户（transfer portal）获取全美顶尖人才方面做得非常出色，从而实现了阵容的惊人补强。
印第安纳大学的 18 名转会新成员名单中，包括前 TCU 四分卫 Josh Hoover 和前密歇根州立大学外接手 Nick Marsh。
Marsh 尽早体会到了 Cignetti 毫不含糊的执教风格：这位前 Spartans 球员在一次春季训练中穿着金色球鞋出现，结果遭到了新教练的批评。此后，Cignetti 赞扬了 Marsh 的工作习惯，后者在过去两个赛季中接球 100 次，获得 1,311 码码数和 9 次达阵。
印第安纳大学能否连续第三年获得季后赛入场券，可能取决于 Hoover，他在过去三年中传球共 9,627 码，获得 71 次达阵和 33 次拦截。他需要填补一个相当巨大的空缺。
“Fernando 的特别之处在于，当比赛进入关键时刻，在第四节的胜利中，在最后三到四分钟里，那是他发挥最出色的时候，”Cignetti 说道。
只要 Cignetti 继续留任，印第安纳大学可能正处于确立其作为年度竞争者的边缘，因为该校在转会门户获得成功后，在高中招募方面也取得了进展。在过去两周内，印第安纳大学获得了 2027 届五星级外接手 Monshun Sales 和备受关注的 2028 届四分卫 Lukas Prock 的口头承诺。
Cignetti 现在更专注于确保目前的球队为卫冕做好准备。防守截锋 Tyrique Tucker 被问到，作为被猎捕者而非猎人进入新赛季感觉如何。
“我们的准备方式让我们不会认为自己正被猎捕，”Tucker 说道，“我们的准备状态就像是掠食者，并且饥肠辘辘。归根结底，我们依然保持着那股不服输的劲头。”
Big Ten 的媒体可能在这一方面为 Tucker 及其队友提供了某些动力。一项由 Cleveland.com 发起的、作为非官方 Big Ten 季前媒体预测的记者投票显示，这支全国冠军卫冕球队在联盟中排名第三，落后于俄亥俄州立大学和俄勒冈大学。
在去年夺冠之路上击败了俄亥俄州立大学和俄勒冈大学后，Cignetti 明白前方面临的挑战。曾在 2007-10 年在阿拉巴马大学担任助理教练的 Cignetti 在周四的新闻发布会结束时，解释了为什么他认为 Big Ten 是大学足球最好的联盟。
“我们在中西部这里不搞那种夸大宣传的噱头，” Cignetti 说道。“我们相信一切都是靠努力赢得的，而不是天掉下来的。 当我们表现不佳时，我们会说：‘我们表现不佳。’我们不会在那儿号啕大哭、抱怨发牢骚。这就是为什么我们是最强的。”

Gray skies, shifting schedules fail to dampen crowd’s spirits at Lollapalooza Day 2
headlined by British pop star Charli xcx, hometown favorites Smashing Pumpkins
Lollapalooza hit its stride on the Chicago lakefront on Friday and the rain arrived too, with a murky swirl of clouds parking above Grant Park along side the police helicopters and parade of airplanes towing advertising banners.
Capping the evening, Day 2 main stage headliners are Charli xcx on the T-Mobile (returning to Chicago on the heels of her famous “Brat” tour last year) and hometown band Smashing Pump kins on the Bud Light (a set referred to by at least one young festivalgoer as Lollapalooza’s “parents’ night”).
Earlier in the day, the music schedule was in flux Friday, with Paloma Morphy and mainstage draw Lil Uzi Vert drop ping out, Slayyter swapping stages with Balu Brigada and other changes — Lollapalooza presenter C3 Presents did not respond to Tribune questions for more information as of press time, but on social media, the festival attributed
$9.96B budget banks on state funds
Fate of layoffs, cuts now
in Springfield’s hands
By Kate Armanini CHICAGO TRIBUNE
After a divisive debate, the Chicago Board of Education approved the district’s $9.96 billion budget Thursday, adopting an amendment that anticipates $150 million in state funding to reverse school-level cuts.
The district’s 2026-27 budget originally included the layoffs of 760 teachers, department cuts and

a midyear spending freeze to close a $730 million deficit. The contro versial amendment eliminates the spending freeze and plans to undo at least some of the planned layoffs.
But it’s unclear whether addi tional state funding will materialize.
Lawmakers already passed the state’s budget in June — closing their own $2 billion deficit — and Chicago Public Schools leaders say they’ve been given no indica tion that more funding is available.
CPS CEO Macquline King warned the budget amendment may leave the district vulnerable to midyear school cuts if the money

General Michael McCuskey’s report still left unanswered key questions about how Democratic House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch handled allegations first raised by a Benton staffer three years ago. Welch spent $1.4 million the next year to get Benton, a Democrat from southwest suburban Plainfield, reelected. It was not until a female lobbyist ran into Benton in January in a River North Chicago bar, where
doesn’t come through. Lenders will also “not look favorably” at uncon firmed revenue, which could lead to credit downgrades and higher borrowing costs, officials said.
“We need to learn from our mistakes instead of repeating them,” King said.
Prior to the vote, CPS Chief Budget Officer Emila Zoko said she would not consider the amended budget balanced as required under state law. She noted that there was no precedent for Springfield allocating new funding for CPS
she said he made lewd comments to her, that the speaker’s office took any steps to discipline him.
The seven-page report contains the results of McCuskey’s investiga tion, which began March 4 follow ing a complaint filed by Welch’s office. It provides a synopsis of many of the details first reported in July by the Tribune, whose monthslong investigation examined Benton’s conduct toward two women — his

But the report also recounts a complaint from a third woman — a legislative district office director who said Benton harassed her in a bar following 2025 Latino Unity Day festivities in Springfield. According to the report, while the female district office director was
on Israeli pullout
in Gaza
Hamas promises to disarm if terms met
By Samy Magdy,
Sam Mednick,

and Matthew Lee Associated Press
CAIRO — Hamas said Friday that it will begin disarming as part of a deal announced by President Donald Trump that also requires Israel to end its strikes and withdraw from Gaza. It marks a potential breakthrough in ending the war, but implementation faces major challenges.
Hamas also said that laying down its heavy weapons, which would come later in the process, was contingent on the creation of a Palestinian state, something Israel’s current government rejects.
Israel has not officially commented on the deal, which is part of a U.S.-brokered cease fire announced last October. That agreement called for Hamas to disarm and hand over power to an independent Pales tinian administration. Israel was to withdraw, and an Inter national Stabilization Force was to deploy. But progress stalled, with Israel saying everything hinged on Hamas disarming, and Hamas accusing Israel of violating the pact by continu ing to carry out regular strikes on Gaza.
Disarming would repre sent a sea change for Hamas, whose founding charter calls for armed resistance against Israel, and which sees its arse nal, including rockets, anti-tank missiles and explosives, as lying at the heart of its identity.
Israel, meanwhile, appears unlikely to pull back significant forces or make other conces sions ahead of its October elec tions.
Prime Minister Benja min Netanyahu faces a tough reelection battle, with oppo nents accusing him of failing to prevent the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war.

Lil Uzi Vert’s absence (on his birthday, no less) to weather issues. Festivalgoers seemed to roll with the punches.
TAKING NO PRISONERS WITH SLAYYTER
Run, don’t walk, to Slayyyter. Truthfully, the smooth-sliding vintage guitar sounds of nearby 54 Ultra were almost enough to derail the mission, but with her golden mane being the only one to blow through the humid air as a light rain fell on Day 2, the Los Ange- les-based grimy pop queen also known as Catherine Grace Garner was equal parts alluring siren and heavy metal frontwoman. (Nine Inch Nails X Slayyyter collab when?) Originally scheduled for 6:45 p.m. on the Airbnb stage, her set was moved up four hours to the larger Bud Light stage. Don’t worry, everyone got the memo.
It’s hard to imagine that the coolest girl in pop music almost quit at 29. With the breakthrough of “Wor$t Girl in America” — her sexual bombast and “you have to be smart to be a smartass” lyricism, she’s captured the hearts of those punching their way forward, online meme queens and D.I.Y rule breakers, cigarette in hand. Backed by the indus- trial crunch of her three- piece band, her mic was on. Songs like “Crank,” “Brit- tany Murphy” and “Beat Up Chanel$” sound exactly as roughed up and ferocious as you’d hope, while showcas- ing her stellar vocal acrobat- ics. With the festival debut of new single “Brand New Chanel$,” she signified the beginning of the next chap- ter. Not more polished, just more. And the fans are hungry for it. Crank it.
LINING UP FOR A BRAND
Around the grounds, the displays brought to Grant Park by corporate interests outnumber the stages. Many festival attendees the Tribune spoke with said they planned to participate in “brand acti- vations.” Lollapalooza spon- sors set up structures where people could get food, merchandise and partici- pate in activities. There was a 21-and-over area by Aperol. A bus gave out free CTA merchandise. Coca-Cola set up a roller-skating rink next to Buckingham Fountain. There were two lines — one to roller-skate and another to get a free soda — and the line for free drinks was magni- tudes larger.
“I come early to get things for free because it’s part of the experience,” said 29-year-old Miguel Crisantos, who both skated and got a free Coca- Cola Cherry. “The people we wanna see are later.”
Also set up near the foun- tain was beer brand Kona Big Wave. The company had a half-pipe where attendees watched professional skate- boarders perform tricks.
“Everybody’s like, ah, half- pipe’s here, let me see them skate,” skateboarder and Olympian Mariah Duran said.

SUKI GLAM STEPS UP
“Welcome to Lovelan- dapalooza,” a disembod- ied voice said, answering a ringing call before giving a rundown of the set’s expecta- tions. Stabbed with a massive Cupid’s arrow, singer Suki Waterhouse opened her slightly early time slot with the new-wave-tinged “Super- sad.”
The pouty-lipped, feath- er-banged multihyphenate also played a Lolla after- show at House of Blues the night before, teasing her new album to a sold-out crowd as well as crowd favorites she repeated on Friday, includ- ing “Oh My God” (ampli- fied by the addition of a live horn section), “My Fun” and “Good Looking.” Just two years ago, she played in the woods on what’s known this year as the Airbnb stage. On Allianz, she oozed cock- sure confidence in front of a disco-balled anatomically correct heart. Motherhood is suiting her special, rejuve- nated approach to glam pop just fine. “I think you guys are ready,” she declared. “I think you guys are ready to fall in love.”

A FERRIS FIRST
Festivalgoers donning glit- ter, ponchos and rain jackets waited in a winding line for a chance to get on Motorola Razr’s Ferris wheel and take a few revolutions inside its lit-up carts.
The Ferris wheel is a new addition to the festival this year, along with other carni- val games and experiences near the north end of Grant Park, and from the top, it offered views of Lake Mich- igan, Buckingham Fountain, the city’s skyline and all of the festivalgoers making their way down Columbus Drive.
First-time Lollapalooza attendee Josh Van Aartsen waited about 45 minutes to get on the Ferris wheel, which he said was his first- ever time on the amusement ride, something he said wasn’t as scary as he thought it’d be.
“It was good. I liked it,” Van Aartsen said after the ride. “I love the city views of it, and with the Lollapalooza (attendees) looking like little ants.”
“It’s pretty fun, it was pretty cool,” Rosenbun said.
DODGING THE DROPS
Lollapaloozans were hit with light showers on and off all afternoon.
Bright ponchos of many different colors could be seen in the crowd moving toward dance-pop artist Zara Lars- son’s show. One fan took off his shoe and drained it onto the ground before quickly rejoining the throng.
In Kidzapalooza, the festi- val’s child-friendly section, plastic was draped over beanbags to protect them from the rain. Standing next to one, Melissa Rodriguez, 31, said she didn’t mind the rain. Rodriguez is from Arizona and said the cooler weather was a nice break.
“It honestly feels like a vacation,” she said. “Some- times we come and it’s just as hot as Arizona.”
THE DESSERT CART
HAS ARRIVED
In the Dessert Island section of Lollapalooza, festi- valgoers had a slew of options to choose from to satisfy their sweet tooth, including treats like churros, gelato, ice cream and chocolate-covered straw- berries.
Eduardo Howell, 21 and a first-time Lollapalooza attendee, navigated toward a funnel cake sundae, which featured powdered sugar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with strawberry syrup driz- zled on top.
“I wanted a funnel cake, and then I’ve been craving ice cream since yesterday. So I just got this to combine the two,” Howell said, adding it cost him $20 total. “It was $5 more than the funnel cake (alone), so I was like, it’s also worth it.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES
ROME — After months of tensions between Pope Leo XIV and President Donald Trump, the pontiff has announced that he hopes to make his first papal visit to the United States “soon,” or at least within a “couple of years.”
In an interview with NBC that was broadcast Wednes day night, Leo — an American citizen — also said that while there was “great significance in being the first American pope,” he thought of himself more “as the pope who happens to be American.”
Asked if he was planning a formal trip to the United States, Leo said, “They will see me there,” adding that “by coincidence” he had been looking at a calendar “for the next couple of years.”
“Nothing is set in stone yet,” he said, “but I certainly hope to be there soon.”
Born in Chicago in 1955, Leo is the first pope from the United States, and he has made that an asset, showing a readiness to challenge Wash ington on several fronts. After Trump repeatedly attacked Leo for openly criticizing the

Man sentenced to 50 years in slaying of girlfriend found in duffel bag in Chicago
By Madeline Buckley CHICAGO TRIBUNE
While gardening with her grandmother, Brittany Batta glia once salvaged a bagful of wild onions growing as weeds in the backyard garden plot, with the hope that she could nurture them and allow them to grow.
Such was Battaglia’s respect for life, her grand mother Carol Agurkis remembered on Friday, that the 33-year-old woman was reluctant to even kill a weed.
Battaglia herself, though, died in a violent attack. She was found by police officers in a duffel bag, nearly decap itated, on June 5, 2023, in her boyfriend’s Logan Square apartment.
Cook County Judge Mary Margaret Brosnahan sentenced her boyfriend, Genesis Silva, to 50 years in prison in Battaglia’s slaying following several hours of testimony at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.
“This case was a case of domestic violence, which has been and continues to be a scourge upon our soci ety,” Assistant State’s Attor ney Joseph Carlson argued, asking the judge to hand down a maximal punish ment.

A 46-year-old South Holland man pleaded guilty Thursday to aggravated driving under the influence resulting in death, accepting responsibility for a 2023 Oak Lawn crash that killed 3-year- old Matthew Dushenko, of Burbank.
Cook County Judge Margaret Ogarek sentenced Paul Sutton to 16 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections, in accor dance with a plea agreement reached between prosecutors and Sutton’s lawyers.

She enjoyed painting, both on canvas and people’s faces, they said, and favored the sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving, a dish that now serves as a reminder of her absence on the holiday.
Battaglia wanted to get married and have children one day, her family said. Instead, her cousin tied her photograph around her own wedding bouquet when she got married without Batta glia standing beside her as a bridesmaid.
“I just want to ask why, Genesis?” her mother, Sue Battaglia, said, choking through tears on the stand. “She loved you so much and talked about you all the time. And you had to kill her?”
A jury in March convicted Silva of first-degree murder in Battaglia’s killing, who was missing for several days as her family members grew increasingly worried and reached out to Silva for knowledge of her where abouts.
Silva’s public defenders, though, argued that Silva, suffering from a mental health crisis, tried to conceal the homicide when he found Battaglia dead in his apart ment, thinking that no one would believe he didn’t do it.

“If I could, I would change the whole situation,” Sutton said. “They don’t deserve that. And I just pray that they rest in peace … and that God wraps his arms around their family.”
The crash occurred at 95th Street and Ridgeland Avenue in Oak Lawn in July 2023. Sutton was driving more than 70 mph and had a blood-al cohol content of 0.196%, over twice the legal limit, when he crashed into the side of the Dushenko family’s car, pros ecutors said.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Brian Burch, the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, said that as far as he knew, the president had yet to speak directly with the pope, via phone, text or otherwise. A papal visit to the United States would typically involve a meeting between the pontiff and the president.

Ryan Carlsen, his public defender, asked Brosna han to order the minimum sentence of 20 years, argu ing that Silva had a difficult childhood during which he suffered from bouts of homelessness. Carlsen read statements from friends and family members of Silva who called for a reexamination of the case and described him as a friend with an even temper known for deescalat ing troublesome situations.
“Mr. Silva has led a complicated and difficult life from his early childhood to where he stands today,” Carlsen said.

Sutton’s attorney, Cierra Norris, said she had had many conversations with her client where he broke down crying.
“I know that it offers little condolence,” Norris said. “We’ve never had one that we’ve finished without him just breaking down at the end for the remorse that he feels for this, as he should.”
Prosecutors said Sutton had a lengthy criminal history, including a convic tion for driving under the influence in 2017, and at the time of the crash had a warrant out for his arrest for driving with a revoked license.

Leo said he came from a family of migrants and cited his mother’s ancestors, who included “both slaves and slave owners,” he said.
Still, he said that he did not see himself as only an Ameri can. Though he did not want “to belittle what it means to be American,” he noted, he said he understood that his mission had a broader dimension in “being pastor of a universal church, and having a voice and an opportunity to speak to people throughout the world,” he told NBC.
Speaking with Telemundo, Leo was asked for a message for migrants.
“Have hope,” he said. “Certainly, seek ways to live in an orderly manner.”

The last time anyone saw Battaglia was on June 2, 2023, prosecutors have said. She was at a Home Depot with her roommate when she got a series of calls and texts from Silva that caused her to go see him, her room mate testified at trial.
When Battaglia never came home later that night, the roommate alerted her family and called the police.
For three days, family members grew increasingly worried, until police offi cers searched Silva’s Logan Square apartment and made the gruesome discovery. They found the duffel bag, along with cleaning supplies
Ogarek said Sutton’s crimi nal history and the number of similar previous cases was an aggravating factor in the case, as was the need to deter simi lar behavior by others. On the other hand, she said, Sutton had worked to better himself while incarcerated.

who oversees the Chicago Archdiocese, said last year that he won’t pressure the new pope to make an appear ance in Chicago immediately, but he pledged that once the pontiff is ready to travel to the United States, “you can believe that I’m going to be lobbying for Chicago.”
“Then I would put in a bid for him to put Chicago on the itinerary,” Cupich said shortly after the pope’s installation.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. JB Pritz ker have both extended invi tations to the pontiff to return to his hometown. Johnson’s invite came during a papal audience in April.
“I believe that he was defi nitely appreciative of the warm exchange and invite and we will look forward to hosting Mass in Chicago,” the mayor said at the time.

She told Silva that Batta glia loved him, and thought she could change him throughout the course of their turbulent relationship.

“Mr. Sutton, you’ve expressed clear remorse for this case today,” Ogarek said. “Good luck to you.”
After the sentence was handed down and Sutton was dismissed, there was a long moment of quiet in the courtroom.

Neil Quilliam, a Middle East expert at London’s Chatham House think tank, said expectations are low that Hamas will disarm or that Israel will withdraw from Gaza. “I think that Netanya- hu’s silence speaks volumes,’’ Quilliam said. “This is a massive decision that he has to make.
“But with the prospect of the elections hanging over his head, with several Cabinet ministers and opposition leaders already counseling not to go ahead with the deal, I think he understands that doing so would likely scupper his chances of reelection,” he added.

at the bar, Benton leaned over her and put his hand on her back. He also complained about how county officials disliked him. As he continued to lean over her while touch- ing her back, she backed away because he made her feel “uneasy,” and, she said, Benton “was creepy,” the report said. The report lists the district office director’s complaint as “founded.”
McCuskey wrote in the report that he questioned Benton on May 29 about incidents involving all three women. McCuskey wrote that Benton denied “ever saying or doing anything of a sexual nature” or that he “ever attempted to sexually harass anyone,” adding in the case of the lobbyist, “I don’t hit on lobbyists.” But McCus- key said he found Benton, in his denials, to be “not cred- ible.”
McCuskey wrote that he spoke with each of the three victims, who were not named in the report. The Tribune has also spoken with the women, but the Tribune is not identifying them because they are victims of sexual harassment.
McCuskey ruled the 2026 and 2025 complaints involving the lobbyist and the district office direc- tor “founded.” He could not make that finding on the 2023 allegations from the former Benton staffer because he was prohib- ited by a one-year statute of limitations. But he wrote that he included circumstances regarding the ex-Benton staffer in his report to show a “pattern and practice of sexual harassment occurring during the entirety of Harry Benton’s career as a member of the General Assembly.”
In a supplemental response she submitted to the legislative inspec- tor general’s office that was released with the report, the former Benton staffer wrote that she had hoped to build a career in government but was dissuaded “watching leaders I admired put their own desires before the work.”
“Sexual harassment is not a lapse in judgment. It is not something to be swept under the rug. It is an abuse of power, an abuse of the trust that voters place in that office,” the ex-staffer wrote. “The workers who keep our state government running, many of them young people who showed up eager to serve, deserve to work with- out fear. And every young person watching learns from what our leaders do, not what they say. Those lessons ripple far beyond one office and one news cycle.”
In his report, McCuskey recalled that in November 2022 he attended a confer- ence with Democratic state Rep. Maurice West of Rock- ford, then the chair of the Legislative Ethics Commis- sion, to speak about ethics and sexual harassment to newly elected legislators. Among the attendees was Benton, McCuskey wrote.
“It is outrageous to think that the LIG (Legislative Inspector General) and Chair of the Legislative Ethics Commission would address a new member of the General Assembly about ethics and sexual harassment and have that member shortly thereafter begin a pattern and practice of sexual harassment against the first woman he hired in his district office in 2023,” McCuskey wrote.
“As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the Interna- tional Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsi- bility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neigh- bors,” he wrote.
A copy of the agreement obtained and verified by The Associated Press said that all weapons held by the Hamas- run police will be transferred to the U.S.-backed Palestin- ian technocratic commit- tee, known as the National Committee for the Admin- istration of Gaza, upon its arrival in the enclave. It’s not clear when that would

followed by an additional list weeks later, the Tribune has reported. But Welch’s office did not address Benton until that July. By then, the staffer had quit Benton’s office, saying she feared for her mental health.
“The Chief of Staff and the Ethics Officer for the Speaker’s Office decided to confront Benton with these allegations after the district employee resigned in June 2023 to avoid retaliation by Benton if he found out who filed the complaint,” McCus- key wrote.
That statement is at odds with what Welch has said at various Democratic caucus meetings as he has tried to contain criticism over his handling of the Benton situ- ation. In those meetings, Welch has maintained that it was the former Benton staffer who asked his office not to pursue questioning Benton until she had quit. The staffer told the Tribune she did not recall telling Welch’s office that.
The former Benton staffer rejected Welch’s office’s suggestions that she file a complaint with the legisla- tive inspector general’s office at the time because she did not want to become a pariah and jeopardize a future job in politics and government, she told the Tribune. She instead thought the matter could be handled internally.
Regardless, she was insis- tent with Welch’s office that she did not want other women to face the harass- ment she experienced from Benton, emails obtained by the Tribune show. She told the Tribune that no disci- plinary action followed her complaint.
In a statement, Welch maintained the report “reaffirms confidence that our office acted responsi- bly — following legal guid- ance, respecting the wishes of those who came forward, and taking decisive action as additional information established a pattern of misconduct.”
But in the report, McCus- key made no judgment on the speaker’s office’s actions. Additionally, the report makes no mention of whether Welch ever spoke to Benton following the former staffer’s allegations.
The report also does not address Welch’s commu- nication with the former Benton staffer, who had previously interned in the speaker’s office, on social media. The Tribune inves- tigation revealed that Welch’s interactions with
A process to decommis- sion and store heavy weap- ons, military production sites and tunnels will begin after the arrival of the Palestinian committee and the deploy- ment of international forces. The process will be linked to a phased Israeli withdrawal, according to the agreement.
Israel controls around 60% of Gaza, areas that have been mostly destroyed and depopulated. Most of the territory’s 2 million Palestinians are in the other part, where hundreds of thousands live in squalid tent camps and destroyed neighborhoods.

her included him respond- ing with heart-eye emojis to images of her, as well as a request over the Signal messaging app to meet in the bar area of a suburban restaurant, though she said she never met Welch there.
The staffer told the Tribune that Welch’s emoji responses made her feel “uncomfortable.” In meetings with Demo- cratic caucuses, Welch has acknowledged he was wrong to send the emojis but said he often meets people at that restaurant.
After the lobbyist’s inter- action with Benton this past winter, Welch in late Febru- ary removed the lawmaker from caucus and committee assignments, and in March Welch filed the complaint with the legislative inspec- tor general’s office. After the speaker’s office received McCuskey’s report on July 1, Welch called for Benton’s resignation, which Benton submitted two days later.
Benton also dropped his 2026 reelection campaign for his legislative seat. Democrats have selected Jessica Dixon Heitman to serve out the remainder of Benton’s term and appear on the November ballot as the party’s nominee.
Welch’s handling of the former Benton staffer’s complaint has drawn crit- icism from some of the 46 women in the speaker’s 78-member caucus. The House Democratic Women’s Caucus called Welch’s handling “insufficient,” and other women’s groups have questioned his leadership.
At the same time, some in the 22-member House Black Caucus have been protective of Welch, the state’s first Black speaker of the House.
Welch ascended to the speakership in 2021 in part because of a 2017-18 uprising among female House Demo- crats against then-longtime Speaker Michael Madi- gan over his handling of a
Welch, too, had a controver- sial past involving women. Madigan, after losing the support of women members, was later convicted in a federal corruption scandal and sentenced to prison.
Gov. JB Pritzker, the de facto head of the state’s Democratic Party, called on Welch July 22 to be forth- coming with the public about how he handled the Benton situation.
A person with knowledge of the situation said that Israel is fully involved, but it’s not a signatory to the deal, which is between Hamas and several countries helping to negotiate and guarantee the ceasefire. The person spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the agree- ment. The deal’s guarantors are the U.S., Turkey, Egypt and Qatar.
On Thursday, U.S. and Board of Peace officials, describing the deal to report- ers on condition of anonym- ity under guidelines set by
tion to make sure that he is letting the public know, as well as, in particular, his members know exactly what happened, and to the extent that he made mistakes, to own up to those mistakes,” Pritzker said.
Welch has not personally addressed the media since the Tribune disclosed that his office was aware of sexual harassment complaints against Benton dating to 2023. Instead, his office has issued generic statements to the Tribune through a spokesperson that did not address detailed questions.
While maintaining his office handled the Benton harassment allegations appropriately, Welch, in the statement issued following the release of the legislative inspector general’s findings, said, “This report must serve as a catalyst for meaningful, structural change.”
“If there are gaps in our policies, our laws, or our workplace practices, then it is our duty to close them,” he said. “The work has already begun. My office will work with all members of the House to explore creating a centralized human resources office to assist all members as employers and support their district office employees, and we will bring in an outside expert to review this case and make additional recom- mendations.”
Democratic state Rep. Kelly Cassidy of Chicago, a member of the Legisla- tive Ethics Commission, assailed Welch’s handling of the Benton harassment issue starting with the former Benton staffer.
“Had the Speaker inter- vened meaningfully in 2023, he may have been able to prevent the victimization of the other two women, who were harassed in May 2025 and January 2026, respec- tively. Instead, $1.4 million was spent to reelect Benton to his seat in 2024,” Cassidy said in a statement.
“The Speaker must demonstrate a sincere desire to repair the harm he has done, and to correct the broken system in which we are all operating. To date, that has not been the spirit of his response,” she added. “Instead, we have heard a series of excuses, victim blaming, and a fail- ure to publicly acknowledge shortcomings. That has been disappointing.”
While Gaza’s police force is expected to hand over its arms, that doesn’t include the vast majority of Hamas mili- tants, and heavy weaponry is not included in that part of the agreement, according to the officials.
Instead, the surrender of heavy weapons and the decommissioning of Hamas tunnels and other infra- structure are to come later in a process that could take between 200 and 350 days, a Board of Peace official said. That timeline did not appear in the agreement obtained by AP.
A Hamas official and a
One involved an allegation that Benton acted hostilely in an attempt to get onstage with Pritzker at the Illinois State Fair in the summer of 2024. “Because this claim is barred by the statute of limitations and has nothing to do with sexual harass- ment, I find the claim to be unfounded,” McCuskey wrote.
Another unfounded claim involved a political argument Benton had with an Illinois Federation of Teachers staff member over school fund- ing for Chicago. McCuskey called it “purely a political argument and not sexual harassment.”
McCuskey dismissed a third claim as “hearsay” — an allegation that Benton had pictures on his phone of women “in various stages of undress which he claimed to be involved with roman- tically.”
“Every woman member of the General Assembly I interviewed said they had heard about the pictures on Benton’s cell phone, but could not identify anyone who saw the pictures,” McCuskey wrote. “With- out any names from anyone about lobbyists who may have information of inter- est, my investigation in this claim came to (an) end with only hearsay. Accordingly, this claim is dismissed as unfounded.”
But in a separate response released Friday with the report, the lobbyist said there were “inaccuracies” in McCuskey’s report “that must be addressed.” She said it was likely due to McCus- key not recording his inter- view with her or taking “contemporaneous notes.”
The lobbyist disagreed with the legislative inspec- tor general’s decision to rule as “unfounded” complaints about Benton displaying photos from his phone of women he claimed to have slept with. The lobbyist said she told McCuskey that had been the case with her and she did not know why he “disregarded this informa- tion.” She previously also told the Tribune the same.
The lobbyist also said Benton never asked her, “You want to get out of here and have some fun,” as part of her encounter with the Plainfield Democrat that included him engaging in lewd conversation, as McCuskey detailed in his report.
regional official involved in the process said that Hamas and other groups agreed to “collect and store” arms inside Gaza under the supervision of the Palestin- ian technocratic commit- tee and that weapons won’t be handed to Israel or non- Palestinian parties. The offi- cials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said this would be a gradual process linked to an Israeli withdrawal.
A U.S. official said Israel, which has been skeptical about Hamas’ willingness to give up its guns or relinquish control of Gaza, had been consulted at every step of the negotiation. The official said Israel was not being asked to do anything more than what it had committed to as part of the October agreement.
there were “no inaccuracies in my founded summary report.” In his main report, he called his work an “exten- sive investigation.”
“I have concluded that Representative Harry Benton during 2025 and 2026 engaged in inappro- priate conduct which rises to the level of sexual harass- ment in violation of state law,” McCuskey wrote.
“The fact that these viola- tions are only misdemean- ors and may be considered minor crimes by some does not mean they should be ignored,” he wrote. “People should not be treated as mere objects to tolerate other people’s verbal plea- sure or jokes. Rep. Benton took the sexual harassment training at least three times in his short legislative career and ignored common sense examples of what not to say and do.”
At the time McCuskey finished his report, Benton had not yet resigned but had been sidelined by Welch. To discipline Benton, McCus- key recommended that Welch make permanent Benton’s removal from the Democratic caucus, legisla- tive committees and access to the speaker’s office staff resources.
But McCuskey wrote that he opposed expul- sion proceedings by the full House, saying they “would be lengthy and require a Special Session” of the legis- lature. Welch disagreed, saying that, upon receiving the report, he told Benton to resign or face expulsion. Benton resigned two days later.
McCuskey’s initial report cited Benton for violating the state’s Human Rights Act. But Welch’s office corrected him, noting that elected public officials and staff members are not covered by that law. But Benton violated a prohibition on sexual harassment under the State Officials and Employ- ees Ethics Act.
Welch had urged the Legislative Ethics Commis- sion — the bipartisan, eight-member panel of lawmakers that oversees the legislative inspector gener- al’s work — to make McCus- key’s findings public. The commission voted unani- mously July 23 to release the report, pending addi- tional comments from the complainants and Benton as required by law. After that deadline passed Thursday, the commission released it.
There was no response from Benton.
In the ex-Benton staffer’s response, she wrote that the formal release of a report about Benton’s behavior provides an opportunity for introspection and change.
“This moment is not an opportunity to pit one party against the other; we have enough of that. My hope is that this experi- ence, my experience, leads to something more import- ant: honest reflection on the culture change, the policy change, and the personal change Springfield needs to attract and keep its brightest talent, and to make it a place where the work that matters is the focus,” she wrote.
“Serving as an elected offi- cial is a privilege, not a right. With that privilege comes scrutiny, and it should. If you cannot put the people you serve ahead of yourself, this profession is not for you. But to those who can, and I believe most can, this is your moment,” she contin- ued. “Hold your colleagues accountable. Protect the people who work for you. Let down the ladder. And leave this state better than you found it, for the genera- tions coming behind us.”

Chicago is, to its core, a music city, with a heritage that extends far beyond the reputation of, say, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Many musical historians credit the city as the birthplace of gospel music and of unique forms of both the blues and jazz, and note it as home base to such influen tial artists as Muddy Waters and Jelly Roll Morton. But that rich legacy never fully evolved to include rock ’n’ roll music, which primarily developed in Memphis, New York City and Los Angeles.
That is, until the culturally transcen dent summer of 1966, when Chicago briefly became the epicenter of a rock ’n’ roll world that was transitioning from the Wall of Sound and the British Invasion to hard rock and psychedelia. It was a snapshot in time when the popularity of the music, amaz ing live concerts, the success of local garage bands, and the influence of local AM radio stations combined to shine a spotlight on the city.
The musical bookends for the summer were performances by The Beach Boys: the album “Pet Sounds” in late spring and the single “Good Vibrations” in the early fall. As the weather warmed, The Rolling Stones had a huge hit in “Paint It Black.” The Monkees released their breakout single, “Last Train to Clarksville.” Paul Revere and the Raiders’ “Hungry” was a chart topper. But the anthem of the summer was The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer in the City.” Its nod to the heat, humidity and congestion of summer days, and to the cool air, darkness and freedom of summer nights emotionally resonated with the music-buying public.
Against that backdrop was the summer concert presence in Chicago of the biggest bands in the rock ’n’ roll world. The Velvet
Trade deadline
In his column “Owning the moment” (July 28), Paul Sullivan argues that the White Sox absolutely must trade for a frontline starting pitcher before the trade deadline. He seems to think that this will give the Sox a chance to get to the World Series this year. In his own words: “If (Jerry) Reinsdorf still believes he has ‘an obligation to do what’s right for the fans,’ he has no choice but to add a frontline starter, no matter the cost.”
What Sullivan is advocating is that the White Sox trade away a large portion of their young talent to get a top-notch starting pitcher, even if he’s a two-month rental player, to be competitive this year. This is the same tired strategy practiced by General Manager Kenny Williams, and by Bill Veeck in earlier days. For example, in 2016 Williams thought that the Sox were one starting pitcher away from contention, so he traded Fernando Tatís Jr. and a minor leaguer to the San Diego Padres for James Shields. How did that deal work out? Fine for the Padres. Tatís hit the cover off the ball, while Shields gave many a hitter the opportunity to do the same.
In advocating his position, Sullivan seems to think that he speaks for nearly all White Sox fans. Well, I have been a White Sox fan since 1959 and he does not speak for me. It is my hope that the White Sox do nothing before the trade deadline. Reins dorf should hang on to all that young talent and let the team evolve into a contender as these players mature, making trades or acquiring free agents when it makes sense, but not now. I believe that most White Sox fans, if they thought about it, would want their team to be competitive for many years to come, not just 2026. It’s not going to happen if they go all in and trade away their young talent for a dubious short-term gain. — Dennis Sweeney, Chicago
Student athletes
I never thought I’d say this, but I completely agree with Sen. Ted Cruz on something. The Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation’s position on clean ing up big-time college athletics with the Protect College Sports Act. NCAA member schools have gone from one extreme of taking advantage of student athletes, to making major college sports professional — at the expense of the university sports that are non-revenue generating. There has to be a way to compensate student athletes (though nothing will ever stop the booster’s $100 handshakes) with a system where the term student-athlete is at the very least not a punchline. — Gary Hynes, Wilmette
Phone ban
What is the purpose of Illinois’ school phone ban when the text prohibits virtually all enforcement? According to the Tribune, the “law prohibits fines, fees, the involve ment of local police or school resource officers, and suspensions or expulsions as enforcement tools,” (“Pritzker signs cell phone ban for public, charter schools,” July 29). The students who are perhaps most likely to disregard laws or school rules will quickly realize there will be no seri

The Beatles were at the International Amphitheatre for two Aug. 12 shows, as part of the band’s final tour. The Turtles appeared at both the Amphitheatre and Highland Park High School. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and The Yardbirds played the Civic Opera House on Aug. 6.
The summer’s focus also fell on several emerging Chicagoland bands. Early on, The New Colony Six, from Chicago’s St. Patrick’s High School, charted high with “I Confess.” The Shadows of Knight, from Mount Pros pect, scored with “Gloria (G-L-O-R-I-A)” in the spring. By June, the Berwyn-bred The Ides of March succeeded with “You Wouldn’t Listen.” The Buckinghams began their career run when “Kind of a Drag” went

Price increases
President Donald Trump, with the support of his elected Republican officials, has given us substantial price increases during his second term. For example, verifi able sources report:
Annual household cost: Aggregated price increases and tariff policies cost the average American household an estimated $1,000 to $2,000 extra annually
Tariff inflation: Aggressive import tariffs — averaging an effective rate of about 11% to 12% by mid-2026

But the personality of the summer was provided by the great Top 40 AM radio stations, WLS and WCFL, separated by only a few turns on the radio dial.

I’ve read the recent letters to the editor with interest — I too mourn the loss of those two young lives — Riley O’Neil and Louisa Gag, both devoted to bettering our communities by designing pathways that separate our bike and pedestrian traffic from our cars and trucks. I too am a civil engineer, and an avid cyclist and am too familiar with losing people.
To many people, especially here in America, making people safer means making cars larger or placing cement barriers and walls between different modes of traffic. I certainly love that the letters advocate for the planning and spending and construction of new facil ities to help to separate these modes of traffic and help make people safer. The work certainly safeguards those in my profession. But age and experience have made me much more reflective on the topic, as well as a great book on the topic called “Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do and What It Says About Us” by Tom Vanderbilt. My miles of bicycle riding have made me acutely aware that the more we cocoon ourselves and tie ourselves to
But times change, and the music often changes with it. The summer sounds of 1966 offered a distraction from darkening clouds of social and political upheaval. But they couldn’t forestall the eventual arrival of storms. Over 380,000 young men were inducted into military service in 1966, with over 6,000 U.S. service members killed in Vietnam action. Both the draft and the casualty numbers would surge in 1967. The city’s violent West Side civil rights protests of July 1966 would be vastly surpassed by what became known as “The Long Hot Summer” of 1967. The message of rock ’n’ roll music would understandably turn much harsher.
Yet 60 years later, Chicago has become entrenched as a popular musical power house. As industry publications note, the city’s thriving sound scene reflects the gamut of rock ’n’ roll genres, among other forms of music. In a recent survey, Seatpick. com rated Chicago as the third-best city in the world for music lovers. It would seem that the rock ’n’ roll seeds that were sown in the summer of 1966 have indeed borne much fruit.
And as it were an endless summer, the great stars of that time enjoy contin ued popularity. Paul McCartney recently completed his “Got Back” North Amer ican tour, with a stopover at the United Center. Mike Love still fronts The Beach Boys on their busy 2026 touring schedule. The Rolling Stones just released their 25th studio album. Bob Dylan is in the middle of his 2026 tour. And The Ides of March’s Jim Peterik and The Buckinghams’ Dennis Tufano continue to make appearances.
In the summer, in the city.

our screens, the less attention we pay to things that really matter, the more impa tient we become, and the worse we make the problem. Truth be told, even if the powers-that-be were to devote all avail able funding and energies to constructing these solutions, the time it would take to complete and the mess during construc tion would all but ensure more casualties. While we wait for all of that to happen, I am asking that all those who are within the public way memorize these four words that will help us avoid more tragedy — have grace, give space.
You see, all of these accidents could have been avoided had people given others just a bit more room. I have been run off the road by people driving too closely or by trucks not knowing how far their mirrors extended; or by cars trying to pass me in a clearly marked no passing lane. I still enthusiastically encourage taking the steps to make structural changes to improve safety, but while we wait for these improve ments to be designed and funded and constructed, I implore people to slow down and “have grace, give space”, because a 25-pound bike will never win a fight against a 5,000-pound SUV. And those are fights where everyone loses. — Robert Israel, Trustee, Village of Northbrook, Illinois

midyear, and even if addi- tional funding was approved, it wouldn’t be available until the next fiscal year.
“If we count on this reve- nue and it fails to come through, then it will be a disaster,” Zoko said.
The Chicago Teach- ers Union, along with CTU-aligned board members, countered that assuming the new funds would force state leaders to confront the conse- quences of years of under- funding CPS, rather than requiring the district to absorb deeper cuts to classrooms on its own. Under the state’s own Evidence-Based Fund- ing formula — which aims to deliver equitable funding to districts based on student need — CPS is just 73% fully funded, down from 81% in 2024.
“They’re going to try and balance the budget without the millions of dollars that they’re owed from Spring- field, right?” CTU President Stacy Davis Gates said ahead of the vote. “Solve this prob- lem, Gov. (JB) Pritzker. We know you can.”
House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch signaled to CTU members Wednesday that he would work to pass a supplemental funding bill — but he didn’t elaborate on how he would do so or where the state would find the money. Such legislation would require a superma- jority from both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly.
The budget amendment, approved in an 11-7 vote, calls for an additional $100 million through the state’s Evidence- Based Funding formula and another $50 million from mandated grants that support programs such as transpor- tation and special education.
Following the approval of the amendment, the board passed the overall spending plan by the same 11-7 margin. Elected board member Yese- nia López, who represents 7B on the Southwest Side, abstained.
Several board members backed by CTU, who hold the majority and introduced the amendment, argued that there is growing momen-

tum in Springfield to secure additional funding, pointing to Welch’s support.
Fifteen lawmakers repre- senting parts of Chicago and the suburbs also told the board this week that they will “call for a supplemen- tal appropriation as soon as possible,” according to a letter obtained by the Tribune.
“We are being asked to bake in nearly 2,000 staff cuts that just rolled out and make them permanent,” board member Michilla Blaise, who represents District 5B on the West Side, said. “After saying, ‘We do not want cuts to the classroom, we do not want cuts to the classroom, we do not want cuts to the classroom.’”
But several board members who voted against the budget argued that relying on uncon- firmed state revenue could force deeper cuts later in the year, potentially doubling layoffs.
“Our CFO made it clear: If that money doesn’t come through … we will have to go to school budgets,” said elected board member Ellen Rosenfeld, represent- ing District 4A on the North Side “There will be midyear cuts. I’ll be in this seat in the middle of next school year. I don’t want to clean that up.”
Following pressure from staff unions, CPS earlier this week raised assumed revenue from tax increment financ- ing districts, or TIF, to $285 million to avoid five furlough days. The district called the estimate “conservative” after CPS received a record $576 million from a TIF surplus last year.
Some CTU-backed school board members said that if the district was willing to budget around assumed TIF revenue, it should also be able to assume more state fund- ing. Board President Sean Harden called the district’s TIF assumption “a bit too cavalier,” though he didn’t explicitly say he supported the amendment.
“Just looking linearly at the data, looking at what has happened historically, totally takes away the reality of the politics of the moment,” Harden said.
District officials noted that CPS receives TIF fund- ing every year when the

city declares a surplus, and repeatedly stressed that its projections were grounded in data.
Kia Banks, president of the Chicago Principals & Admin- istrators Association, voiced support for the boosted state revenue assumption but said the district needs to find long-term solutions to its financial challenges. The budget included cuts to 41 assistant principals.
“We have to have a plan now and a roadmap so that we’re not going through this every year,” Banks said.
SEIU Local 73 President Dian Palmer, meanwhile, called the amendment a “risky path,” arguing that “our members cannot afford to go back to the drawing board.” Local 73 represents 13,000 service staff in the district, including special education classroom assis- tants and bus aides.
“Unsecured state reve- nue cannot pay a SECA’s rent in September,” Palmer said. “Our students do not get to wait for Springfield to make up its mind, and neither should this board.”
The district faces a struc- tural deficit due to billions in long-term debt, aging build- ings with a massive backlog of repairs, rising costs and the loss of federal pandemic relief aid. CPS ended its last fiscal year with negative $642 million in cash, down from negative $339 million at the end of fiscal year 2025, according to a memo to board members obtained by the Tribune.
The district’s cash position regularly fluctuates with the timing of revenue, but that problem has worsened due to repeated property tax delays from Cook County. To make up the gap, CPS has increas- ingly relied on short-term loans known as tax anticipa- tion notes, or TANs.
Had the budget not passed, district leaders said they wouldn’t have been able to secure the loans in time to make September payroll. But there’s still no guarantee, district leaders said, because the unconfirmed state reve- nue in the budget may deter lenders.

massive profits amid war
Consumers pay more for fuel as fighting constrains supply
By Cathy Bussewitz ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — U.S. oil and gas giants raked in massive spring profits while fight ing between Iran and the U.S. impeded petroleum shipments and consumers around the world paid more for fuel and confronted shortages.
The conflict, now in its sixth month, halted most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that previ ously served as a delivery route for 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas.
With global supplies constrained, prices for Brent crude, the international standard, soared from about $70 to above $100 a barrel for much of March, April and May, and at one point reached $126.
The money that oil firms accrued between the beginning of April and the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year.

16th-century bell foundry adds modern technology to keep the casting process alive in Austria
By Philipp Jenne ASSOCIATED PRESS
INNSBRUCK, Austria — Wearing protective gear to shield from the extreme heat of molten bronze, workers at one of the last bell foundries in Europe are casting bells weighing several tons.
One after another, the artisans pour the molten metal into specially shaped molds held together with steel bands to create 12 bells for churches in Italy, Germany and Romania.
Founded in 1599, the Grassmayr Bell Foundry, in Innsbruck, western Austria, has survived wars, famines, epidemics and economic challenges.
These days, the family business is run by brothers Johannes and Peter Grassmayr. During the Renaissance in the late Middle Ages, there were hundreds of bell makers in Europe, while today only a handful remain across the continent.
The Grassmayrs’ secret to success: tenacity combined with innovation, such as

climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers and airline passengers.
Exxon Mobil on Friday reported that its second-quarter profits doubled to $14.53 billion, boosted by record diesel produc tion. The oil giant, based in Spring, Texas, brought in $116.02 billion in revenue, up 42%. Chevron, based in Houston, nearly quadrupled its profits to $12.07 billion and revenue jumped 56% to $70.06 billion.
Six of Europe’s largest oil companies posted combined first-quarter profits of $22 billion, more than 40% higher than last year.
“There are constituencies around the world who are having a very good crisis, and the oil producers are one of them,” said Patrick Galey, fossil fuels lead at Global Witness, a nonprofit organization that investigates environmental issues.
“When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with rolling blackouts, with elec tricity curbs, rationing, waiting in line for food queues, or the disruption to fertilizers and the potential impact that has on food prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable
3D printing, scanning, lasers and computer simulation apps.
“Certain things are just like they were 400 years ago. But we innovated a lot,” Johannes Grassmayr said.
The production cycle for making a bell takes three to four months. In the past, cleaning a freshly cast bell and polishing it made up 30% of total production time. Nowadays, with the help of modern tools, that process takes only a tenth of the time.
Grassmayr keeps some of its most inno vative production steps a secret, such as a special chamber where the bells are cleaned with a high-pressure sandblaster, not to mention the specialized apps used to calculate the sound of each particular bell.
Even with modern technology, the process of designing and forming the molds for a large bell can take up to six months.
“The important thing is that you have calculate, form and then cast the bell as a musical instrument,” Johannes said, adding that the greatest difficulty in creating the bell is the risk that molten metal pressure will destroy the mold.
When the workers cast a large bell, the liquid bronze creates up to 137 tons of pres sure inside the molds, he said. To ensure the integrity of the mold, only high-quality clay
died over a 14-month period starting in July 2024 through September 2025.
The Social Media Victims Law Center is bringing the suit on behalf of the families, and its founding attorney, Matthew Berg man, said it’s “particularly salient” that the children in this case died “long after” simi lar suits had been filed.
“These platforms continue to kill kids, despite the platitudes of their executives,” Bergman said.
price for the rest of the world to be paying.”
Energy companies such as Exxon and Chevron do not set the price of American oil, which ricocheted from $68 to $115 a barrel during the quarter. It’s driven by supply and demand.
Nevertheless, Democrats in Congress introduced bills in March to tax major oil producers for profits they show from 2026 onward and have the tax proceeds redis tributed to consumers.
“It’s fair to put a windfall profits tax on inordinate windfall profits rather than cut off children’s food programs,” Sen. Shel don Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Demo crat who introduced the Senate version of the legislation.
Whitehouse’s measure and a companion bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna of California would amend the U.S. tax code to impose a per-barrel tax on companies that produced or imported at least 300,000 barrels of oil per day in 2025.
The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S., which was below $3 before the attacks on Iran, reached $4.11 Friday, about $1 more than last year at this time.
is used and then encased in steel sleeves designed to withstand extreme pressure.
But it’s not only the difficulty of the production that has Grassmayr worried. The modern bell-making industry is under pressure as fewer churches are being built, changing the demand for bells. Rising energy costs due to the war in Ukraine are not helping, and labor costs have risen 30% since the pandemic in 2020.
But the main cost factor of a newly cast bell is still the price of materials. The best bells require high-quality bronze, which is 80 parts copper to 20 parts tin. A few years ago, the price of bronze was $9.23 per kilogram compared with $26.17 today, Johannes said.
“That’s why I can’t even say how much a bell is going to cost in a year. I just hope the metal price is going to come down again,” he said.
Johannes showed several recently cast bells that were being left to cool for a week before being removed from their molds.
“This bell is for the church in Zethau, in Germany,” he said. “I’m very happy with the casting. I’m especially happy that the innovations of the past decades helped a lot to make the bells ever more beautiful and better.”

The complaint alleges the social media companies knew they were causing harm to young users.
A spokesperson for Google, which owns YouTube, said in a statement that “provid ing young people with a safer, healthier experience has always been core to our work. In collaboration with mental health and parenting experts, we’ve built services and policies to provide young people with age-appropriate experiences, and parents with robust controls. We send our deepest sympathies to the families and are review ing the claims in this lawsuit.”
allege Kalshi runs illegal operations
By Dave Collins ASSOCIATED PRESS
New York officials sued prediction market platform Kalshi on Friday, calling it an “ille gal, unlicensed gambling operation” as the state seeks to halt its operations and force the company to forfeit its profits.
New York joins a growing number of states filing lawsuits against Kalshi and other companies in a dispute with President Donald Trump’s administration over who regulates the fast-growing prediction market.
Kalshi and other platforms argue they are federally licensed and regulated, and states have no authority to govern them.
“It’s sad to see this type of political theater from the leadership in our own state,” Elis abeth Diana, a spokesperson for New York- based Kalshi, said. “States can’t just shut down a federally licensed exchange. This would also hurt New Yorkers, who would be driven offshore. We love New York, we love New Yorkers, and New Yorkers love our product.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attor ney General Letitia James, both Democrats, announced the lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan. James’ office is request ing that Kalshi be ordered to forfeit all illegal gains, pay restitution to consumers who were harmed and pay fines equal to three times the company’s gains.
In April, New York filed a similar lawsuit against prediction market platforms Coin base and Gemini on illegal gambling opera tion allegations.
The lawsuit also says prediction markets allow users ages 18 to 20, while New York requires mobile sports betting users to be at least 21.
In April, the federal government sued Arizona, Connecticut and Illinois, challeng ing their efforts to regulate the industry.
EU TO CRACK DOWN ON ILLICIT IMAGERY, HACKING, DEEPFAKES
The European Union rolled out a new team Friday to rein in AI companies across the world, in one of the most aggressive regu lations the high-tech sector has faced as fears rise over the risks the advancing technology poses to people, politics and prosperity.
Brussels aims to track the use of AI models for violations of its new regulations, like the publishing of sexually explicit material, fake photos and videos, and cyber threats to public infrastructure. When the bloc’s AI Act comes into force Sunday, AI companies will be required to make clear to consumers with labels or digital watermarks that chatbots or imagery are generated with AI.
The rollout comes on the heels of AI safety failures that rattled the industry. Political leaders worldwide are now weighing control of the technology with fines and restrictions. — Associated Press
ANTHROPIC REPORTS AI MODELS HACKED 3 GROUPS IN TESTING
Anthropic said its artificial intelligence models hacked into three other organizations during testing, just days after ChatGPT maker OpenAI raised concerns over AI controls after it disclosed its rogue models hacked another company.
Anthropic, the San Francisco-based AI company behind Claude, posted on its website Thursday that it discovered the three incidents after reviewing more than 141,000 evaluation runs. It had launched a “large-scale” cybersecurity review, which looked for evidence whether its AI models were able to access the internet from within testing environments that should have been sealed off, in response to the OpenAI incident.
Anthropic said the models involved in the incidents were Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Mythos 5 and an internal research test model. — Associated Press
CHINA FACTORY ACTIVITY SLIPS INTO CONTRACTION DURING JULY
China’s factory activity unexpectedly slowed in July, the first such contraction in five months, weighing on the pace of broader growth for the world’s second-largest economy.
The official manufacturing purchasing managers index, or PMI, fell to 49.2 from 50.3 in June, China’s National Bureau of Statistics said Friday, worse than what economists had expected.
PMI readings are measured on a scale of 0 to 100. A reading above 50 indicates an expan sion, and below 50 reflects a contraction.

SADIRAC, France — From his vineyards in Bordeaux wine country, Edouard le Grix de la Salle can some times smell the burning forests far away. The smoke brings a whiff of hardship for the region’s fortunes.
Wildfires that have burned an area four times the size of Paris and driven 220,000 people from homes and some of the region’s tourist attractions promise to sting France’s squeezed economy.
“It’s a physical apocalypse when you see all these sites where there’s nothing left aside from burnt homes and forests, and then there’s the economic apocalypse,” said Patrick Seguin, president of the regional chamber of commerce, his voice chok ing with emotion in a phone interview.

WASHINGTON — Five states have agreed to accept nuclear waste from around the country in exchange for federal help develop ing nuclear energy to create thousands of jobs.

By David Gelles THE NEW YORK TIMES
In 1968, Eddie Smith Jr. bought a fledgling boat maker based in Greenville, North Carolina. It was a risky move. The company, Grady- White Boats, was in trouble.
But Smith turned it around, and now the maker of high-end recreational fish ing boats designed for coastal waters pulls in hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. Along the way, Smith kept full control of the company, never taking on outside investors or sell ing stock to the public.
Now, Smith, who is 83, has made one last big move: He renounced a potential $400 million payday and pledged all of Grady-White’s future profits to charity.
“God has really blessed me to put me in a position to give away the vast majority of my net worth,” he said in an interview. “I don’t need a 200-foot yacht or to spend the winters in the Mediter ranean. I’m really happy here in eastern North Carolina.”

He said he was inspired by Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, who gave away his stock and set up a nonprofit organization to distribute the outdoor apparel company’s profits in 2022.
He has transferred Grady- White’s voting stock, a small percentage of the company’s overall shares, to a legal entity known as a purpose trust. The trust will hold shares in perpetuity, ensuring that Grady-White remains inde pendent and can never be sold — and continues to operate in accordance with Smith’s values, including profit-sharing.
The remainder of the company’s shares, which do not have voting rights, are being transferred to a newly created 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. The trust and the nonprofit will be run by independent boards that do not include Smith. He will stay on as CEO emeritus and take an annual salary. Employees learned of the news last week, and the company plans to announce it in the coming days.

The campuses have the potential to attract up to $50 billion in private investment and generate as much as $10 billion in state and local tax revenues, the Energy Depart ment said. Eligible projects could access federal loans worth billions of dollars, the department said.
“These campuses will be massive generators of economic growth ... and be crucial to unleashing Amer ica’s nuclear renaissance,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement. He called the proposed campuses an “innova tive concept” that will “get America’s nuclear industry growing again.”

farmers across globe in dire straits
By Peter S. Goodman THE NEW YORK TIMES
RAJSHAHI, Bangladesh — For three days, he waited at the gas station in a crush of hundreds of villagers, as the temperature rose to 104 degrees. People tried to cut the line, and fights broke out, drawing police officers wielding batons.
This, Dulal Hossain endured for the chance to buy diesel fuel.
He was tormented by worries about his rice plants, the source of most of his live lihood. The diesel he eventu ally carried home by bicycle, in a jerrycan strung from the handlebars, would fuel the pump that bathed his fields with groundwater. The pump was empty.
It was late March, the dry season in western Bangla desh, and a month after the United States and Israel unleashed war on Iran. Around the globe, energy prices were soaring as ship ping was halted through the Strait of Hormuz.
In South Asia, diesel was scarce. So crops were deprived of water.
As the war in the Middle East limits the supply of energy worldwide, millions of farmers are contending with scarcity and higher prices for fuel, especially costly diesel, threatening their access to irrigation and menacing the food supply. Faced with depleted harvests, many rural house holds in Asia and Africa are borrowing to cover the costs of cultivation, challeng ing their ability to produce future crops.
In much of the world, the closure of the strait has blocked shipments of food and fertilizer, making prices much higher.
Countries such as Soma lia and Sudan are suffering extreme hunger and even famine, as the crisis lands atop drastic cuts to the inter national relief system.
“The wine business has been in crisis for several years now, and it’s worsening with the geopolitical prob lems, the now widespread problems of inflation and the fact that wine is falling out of fashion among younger people,” Le Grix de la Salle said.
“Tourism was really the only dynamic part of the business that was still grow ing, both for us and, more generally, for Bordeaux wines,” he said. “And now this comes along as a brake.”
His family’s Grand Verdus wine estate is roughly 20 miles from the fires that have raged since last week on the other side of the Garonne River that runs through Bordeaux. Bordeaux’s Gironde region is mainland France’s largest by area and the fires have hit only a small percentage of it. But the mark on its reputation is sizable.
The region in southwest France is replete with vaca tion spots for tourists lured by soft-sand beaches, wine making châteaux, some of
comes as President Donald Trump attempts to quadru ple domestic nuclear energy production because of surg ing electricity demand due to a data center and artificial intelligence boom. Trump also has moved to reshape the independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission to speed up nuclear reac tor development. Under Trump’s direction, the commission has proposed eliminating a foundational safety principle that for 50 years minimized the radi ation people in the United States are exposed to.
The NRC proposal would abandon a philosophy to keep radiation exposure “as low as reasonably achiev able,” instead setting a sepa rate standard on maximum radiation exposure that includes several actions that

relative abundance of food, a reversal of fortune is now unfolding. Experts worry that higher costs of irrigation could dissuade some farmers to plant.
“If this diesel crisis continues, farmers might not be interested in continuing to invest,” said Zakir Hossain Khan, an economist and co-founder of Change Initiative, a global research institution focused on sustainability.
The war has thrust on scores of countries a profound shock — one now gaining fresh momentum as the widening conflict between the United States and Iran has again choked off traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
The situation in Bangla desh represents one critical dimension: the disruption to irrigation. One-fourth of the world’s cropland is irrigated, and that land produces 40% of the world’s food, accord ing to one estimate. Irrigation systems powered by electric ity are generally better for the environment, and less susceptible to ruptures like the closure of the strait.
But many countries still rely on diesel.
France’s largest pine forests and the historic city of Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The chamber of commerce says 39,000 busi nesses have been affected in the region that’s a hub of defense and aerospace industries, including Airbus, Dassault and Thales.
The chamber of commerce said rising energy costs were already squeez ing profits. Some 94% of businesses responding to a poll of regional enterprises in mid-July said they face difficulties.

California Rep. Mike Levin said the nuclear fuel announcement was a long time coming and required bipartisan collaboration to fix difficult nuclear waste challenges. Levin, a Democrat, has pushed to allocate funding to safely remove and dispose of spent nuclear fuel.
Scott Roecker, a former official at the National Nuclear Security Adminis tration who now advises the Nuclear Scaling Initiative, a pro-nuclear group, said the campuses are a good idea, though he cautions that spent nuclear fuel should not be reprocessed there to be recycled for new fuel because of the cost and secu rity issues.
of pumps in Bangladesh rely on diesel.
Experts concur that such systems should be augmented by solar-powered operations to limit costs and the emissions driving climate change. And in many places, pumps are depleting ground water.
But for the moment, grow ing food for hundreds of millions of people depends on diesel.
“It’s still the lifeblood,” said Sattar Mandal, an econ omist and former vice-chan cellor of Bangladesh Agricultural University. “You can’t stop it immediately or you have an issue with food security.”
In Bangladesh, 15 million households whose lands are smaller than 3 acres collectively produce some two-thirds of the nation’s rice — the staple crop. Given the centrality of small farms, any hit to the economics of agriculture can have potent consequences.
Even in the best of times, growing food requires hope. Farmers are accustomed to risks and variables, from ill-timed rains to heat waves. Still, the war has added geopolitical troubles.
Exchanges with Iran add to fears of more air attacks in region
By Qasim Nauman
and Euan Ward THE NEW YORK TIMES
The Iranian army said Friday it had launched drone attacks on U.S. military targets in Kuwait, as a new wave of hostilities between the United States and Iran reignited fears of a return to full-blown war in the Middle East.
The attacks targeted U.S. assets at Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base, Iran’s military said in a statement published by state media.
A U.S. Defense Depart ment official, who spoke on the condition of anonym ity, confirmed that Iran had launched multiple projec tiles, mostly at Kuwait, but that there was no major impact on U.S. military bases in the region.
In a statement, the Kuwaiti military said that it had detected and destroyed multiple drones in its airspace, adding that the interceptions had caused material damage from fall ing shrapnel but no injuries.
Iran’s military said the attacks came in response to recent U.S. military strikes, which have increased in recent days.
U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, said Thursday it had struck sites in Iran, including military command centers and missile and drone facil ities, in response to Iran’s launching of ballistic missiles at American forces in the Middle East a day earlier.

President seizes on Spain migrant crisis ahead of fall election

CAMP DAVID, Md. — President Donald Trump took Friday’s Cabinet meet ing on the road to Camp David, using the historic rustic backdrop of the presi dential retreat to boast of his administration’s achieve ments while seizing on a migrant crisis in Spain to make his case for why voters should keep the Republican Party in power.
The Cabinet meeting, the 13th such gathering of Trump’s second term, came three months before the November midterm elections that could serve as a check on his power if Democrats take control of one or both cham bers of Congress.
His warnings about Spain echoed language he used ahead of the 2018 midterms, when he warned of caravans of migrants headed to the southern U.S. border.

There was also a strike for the first time in Egypt, where authorities said Thursday

Some 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Spain’s tiny Ceuta terri tory over the past 24 hours. Roughly half of them have already made their way back voluntarily, according to the Spanish government.
Separately, he deflected blame for a series of cyberat tacks that targeted 30 water systems in Minnesota on the state’s “grossly incompetent” Democratic leadership.
Officials have not publicly identified who was behind the attacks, though the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infra structure Security Agency and other agencies warned in an advisory last week that Iranian hackers have been targeting water and waste water systems and the oper ational controls of other critical infrastructure sectors.
“They blame it on Iran,” Trump said, without offering evidence. “I don’t think so. I think I blame it on Minne

The president regu larly convenes his Cabi net throughout his terms as a setting to promote his administration’s policies while fielding questions on the news of the day, but what made Friday’s unusual was that it was at Camp David, the government-owned retreat nestled in Maryland’s Cato ctin Mountains where Trump held one Cabinet meeting during his first term.
Trump began the meeting by noting it was “something very unique.”
The White House called it the first televised Cabinet meeting from the presiden tial retreat.
“It’s Camp David, and this room is a very, very special room,” Trump said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were among the Cabinet officials who spoke before Trump took questions from journalists. The public portion of the meeting ended after about an hour.

the Middle East could further disrupt global trade.
Commercial ships, includ ing oil tankers, have been regularly targeted, particu larly in the Strait of Hormuz, normally a key passage for global energy supplies.
The threat to shipping has also expanded to other parts of the Middle East.

announced Thursday that would lead to the disarma ment of the Palestinian group Hamas.
He also lamented that a $1.8 billion anti-weapon ization fund to compensate his allies was “dead” and appeared to back off a pledge he made earlier this month to grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot air defense systems.
“I don’t think this would ever happen, but, you know, there’s people that, you give that technology, they can someday turn on you,” Trump added. “You look at war, that’s happened a couple of times over the years, right? So we have to be very careful.”

Some migrants swam several miles through the sea and faced down authorities who tried to turn them back with water cannons, tear gas and warning shots.
The Houthis, an Irani an-backed Yemeni militia, announced a blockade of Saudi vessels and targeted ships in the Red Sea, which has become a vital route for oil exports during the war.
Saudi Arabia said Thurs day it was forming a military coalition to protect shipping, with support from more than a dozen countries. It was unclear how the coalition would operate and what assets, such as warships or aircraft, the participants would contribute.
The Saudi foreign ministry also announced joint strikes with the U.S. military against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, which the ministry blamed for attacks on Saudi oil facilities.
On Friday, a Saudi official, speaking on condition of anonymity, sought to reas sure Baghdad in the wake of the attacks, stressing that the strikes were confined to mili tia weapons depots and were not directed against the Iraqi people or government.
The official claimed that the strikes came only after diplomatic measures had been exhausted.
Meanwhile, the first two U.S. military aircraft intended to provide support for oper ations in the Middle East arrived Friday at an air base in southeastern Bulgaria, draw ing a complaint from Iran as Bulgarian residents have also been protesting the deploy ment.
The Trump administra tion has faced pushback from some European allies over the use of air bases in support of its war with Iran.

Trump also remarked on the anti-weaponization fund that is holding up the confir mation of Todd Blanche as his attorney general, saying the pot of money is “dead” and that “I wish it weren’t, to be honest with you.”
The president continued to defend the people who could potentially benefit from the fund, mainly those who
Spain deployed its armed forces and additional police to restore order in Ceuta, which sits on the Strait of Gibraltar at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and has been a Spanish posses sion since 1580.
On the Moroccan side of the border, security forces clashed with migrants. The chaos also had ripple effects abroad, with Italy and France pledging to tighten their controls on people arriving from Spain.

The deployment is autho rized until Oct. 1.
President Donald Trump thanked Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev in a Truth Social post for allow ing the deployment “despite Iran’s threats.”
On Thursday, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova assured her Iranian counterpart, Abbas Aragh chi, that the deployment “in no way means a change in Bulgaria’s approach toward Iran.”
The two countries are important trade partners.
A Bulgarian Foreign Ministry statement quoted Petrova as saying “it was out of the question” that any direct military actions linked to the conflict in the Middle East would be carried out from Bulgarian territory.

Thousands of skilled humans required to build data centers
By Lydia Depillis THE NEW YORK TIMES
WARREN, Mich. — As an electrician in training in Detroit, Tyler Shelton spends most of his days popping down manholes to fix cables and other electrical gear. But lately, his company has sent many of its workers to a sprawling data center that just broke ground about an hour away.
“Everybody wants that money,” Shelton, 29, said during lunch break at his apprenticeship’s twice-a- month classroom day. “We have work to do, but we’re also losing a good chunk of manpower to these data centers.”
Soon, he could join them: OpenAI’s project in Saline Township is the biggest single investment in Michi gan’s history, according to the state, requiring hundreds of electricians working 10-hour days, seven days a week.
Despite the overtime bonanza, Shelton has mixed feelings.
“I’d like to have a house in the next year or so,” he said. “So it’s like, I understand the draw, but I also like to have a life outside work.”
The data center boom is on everybody’s mind at the Detroit Electrical Indus try Training Center, where about 850 apprentices train between long days on the job. The megaprojects are pulling skilled trade workers into remote locations with high pay and bonuses.

conditions feed France wildfires

LANTON, France — With his watering can and bucket, Jean-François Pauner mean ders from one small fire to the next along a forest floor, dousing small flareups of wildfires that have swept through woodlands four times the size of Paris in southwestern France.
“This is the first fire I’m experiencing real-time, and I can tell you it’s vicious,” said Pauner, 64.
Pauner is among the untold numbers of volun teers who have mobilized to support firefighters battling the biggest wildfires in years in France.
“I’m protecting my forest, and my home,” he said, pour ing his watering can into a smoking ditch as if watering a garden, then huffing in the heat.
The wildfires that tore through cultivated forests on an Atlantic coast also known for towering sand dunes and tourist resorts devas tated 162 square miles west of Bordeaux, driving nearly a quarter-million people out of their homes and vacation sites.

Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and contractors. As part of a $50 million program from Google, the group plans to boost annual apprenticeship enrollment to 30,000 from 19,500 for the next three years in locations selected by Google. Another grant from BlackRock, the asset manager, would widen training pipelines for its data centers in Texas, part of a $100 million effort to expand the skilled trades.
contractors.
There is no parallel in U.S. history for the boom under way in the construction of data centers, fueled by companies with function ally unlimited cash that are racing to supply skyrocketing demand for their AI models.
The explosion has offset slow activity in other sectors, like office construction, which never recovered after the pandemic. Housing has been depressed by high inter est rates, and offshore wind felled by political opposition. Still, competition for labor — never mind land and materi als — is starting to weigh on other parts of the industry.
fires this summer, includ ing in the Mediterranean Var region where a blaze in the Gros Bessillon mountain ridge flared up again Friday, driven by violent winds, local authorities said. Several towns in the area were evac uated.
As cooler, more humid air moved into southwest France this week, authori ties allowed two-thirds of the 224,000 evacuees to return home, including some more Friday.
But the ground still simmers in many places.
“It’s stabilized, but not totally stopped,” French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told RTL radio. “Hot spots remain.”
Prolonged drought and climate change have created fire-prone condi tions. Pauner said the region endured more than two months without significant rainfall, leaving vegetation exceptionally dry.
“There’s no question the resources are very limited, so decisions to build one thing kind of drag from another,” said Mario Iacobacci, who runs the construction and infrastructure advisory prac tice at Oxford Economics.
Developers are paying a premium for workers, especially in the rural areas where they are building data centers. According to an anal ysis by Indeed, the job listings website, hourly installation and maintenance jobs at data centers pay 42% more than similar jobs in other fields.
Behind that inflated pay is a bidding war. In markets with a lot of data center construction, like Dallas and northern Virginia, workers can jump ship for bonuses or higher per diem rates. The competition has driven contractors to staffing services like Aerotek.
“It is creating a labor tension that is really delicate,” said Marty Schager, Aerotek’s director of data center market development. “You’ve got a passive job-seeker commu nity out there right now that I

Investigators suspect that contractors clearing away vegetation inadver tently ignited the blaze last week. But other fires have been attributed to arsonists or criminal negligence.
Blazes continued in other parts of Europe.
Many parts of Greece were listed at high or extreme risk of wildfires, with strong winds. Three Greek firefight ers died fighting fires this week on the southern island of Crete.
Firefighters were tack ling 73 wildfires around the country, 51 of which broke out Friday, Fire department spokesman Col. Vassilis Vathrakogiannis said.
In England, where half the country is gripped by drought, firefighters battled a wildfire on an east coast heath in Suffolk, near a nuclear power station that fire services said wasn’t threatened.
think is looking to potentially capture opportunity with this once-in-a-generation data center gold rush.”
There is some precedent for tech companies to teach people to maintain their facilities. Microsoft started programs for data center technicians in 2018 and now operates 39 locations around the world that have trained 15,000 people.
But the AI era has drawn tech companies much further into the construction busi ness. They’re working with community colleges and unions to design classes that can get people on site as quickly as possible, even if they keep learning on the job.
In one of the largest efforts, Meta, the parent of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has allocated $115 million for the first year of what it says will be a multiyear commit ment to train construction workers, starting with about 5,000 participants. They will complete a four-week train ing course, with travel and lodging paid for, then work on a site with one of Meta’s
‘overdrive’ with strong El Nino
By Seth Borenstein
and Edith M. Lederer ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — A strengthening El Nino has already broken records for intensity at its early stages, and it likely will spark even more wild weather world wide as it grows, “adding fuel to a planet already on fire,” United Nations officials warned Friday.
A key area of the Pacific Ocean used to measure the strength of El Nino this week reached its warmest and most intense level ever recorded for the 15th week since it formed, which is early in its lifetime, scien tists at Columbia University reported.
El Nino, a natural warm ing of the Pacific near the equator that warps weather patterns worldwide, won’t peak for several months and should last through spring 2027. The World Meteoro logical Organization, a U.N. agency, cautioned Friday that it will likely trigger extreme heat, drought and rainfall well into next year.
“Two months ago, I warned that El Nino was arriving on our doorstep. Now it is inside the house — and turning up the heat,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters Friday. “We have already endured a summer of extremes — record-shat tering heat domes; apocalyp tic wildfires raging in Spain, France and far beyond; thousands of lives lost in the scorching conditions.”
“But according to the latest science, this is only a warm-up act,” Guterres said, saying as the El Nino strengthens it will be “adding fuel to a planet already on fire.”
The program is run partly by Associated Builders and Contractors, a nonunion trade association. It’s putting together a curriculum of basic construction skills tailored to data centers, hoping to keep projects on time and on budget.
“The initial goal is, ‘Hey, let’s get as many of these folks on the Meta sites as possible, keep them in the family,’ ” said Joel Thames, the asso ciation’s vice president for workforce development. “If someone leaves and goes to another sector or goes to a contractor that’s not working on a Meta site, we all kind of agree that that’s OK.”
Sean McGarvey is the president of North Ameri ca’s Building Trades Unions, an alliance that represents 3 million workers. Its affili ates spend about $2.5 billion annually on apprentice ship programs and other continuing education, paid for by employers and union members. McGarvey said his group could train as many people as the AI giants

fall or so, but that’s not guar anteed, scientists said.
It’s early in the nearly yearlong life of an El Nino to see many direct effects yet, but they are coming, scien tists said, agreeing with Guterres’ warnings. El Nino’s effects will combine with the long-term global warming from the burning of coal, oil and gas.
“We’re seeing something that is the warmest July ever recorded for that specific region,” used as an El Nino indicator, Columbia Univer sity climate scientist Jeffrey Shaman said. “A year from now, it’s going to be very hot in the Northern Hemisphere. And we’re going to possibly have a summer like we’ve never experienced globally.”
But before then, the strong El Nino is likely to cause changes in rainfall patterns that will bring chaotic extremes to different parts of the world in fall and winter.
There’s a strong chance of drought and wildfires in Indonesia, India and other parts of Asia, Australia, South America and Africa, the WMO warned. Other areas, including much of the United States and fire-struck South ern Europe will get above average rain.
needed, as long as they made an early commitment to hiring union workers.
OpenAI did that in March, promising to work with unions to staff its projects. McGarvey called Meta’s effort “a brilliant public rela tions move,” arguing that a month of training doesn’t measure up to a four-year apprenticeship that teaches a wide range of skills.
Working with building trades unions also brings political backing. Anthony Abrantes, assistant execu tive secretary-treasurer for the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpen ters, says local unions typi cally endorse a project if they’re set to work on it. If not, they’ll sit out the debate. Like the offshore wind indus try, which has withered in the face of intense opposition, data center developers need all the local credibility they can get.
“Those industries did a really bad job of stopping the rhetoric and educating communities,” Abrantes said. “It’s almost like we’re doing their advocacy and business development for them.”
Construction workers often have mixed feelings about data centers too.
Starr Sciortino is in her second year of the electri cians union’s apprenticeship training. She loves trouble shooting problems, and just started on General Motors’ major retrofit of its plant in Lake Orion, Michigan. But she compares working on a data center to helping build a weapons factory.
“I don’t believe any type of money is worth sacrificing any resources that’s benefi cial to communities,” said Sciortino, 22. “However long it lasts, is it really worth it in the end?”The question looms over the apprentices who will become journeymen as the build-out reaches fever pitch. Fully trained electricians could shift to nuclear plants, apartment buildings or phar maceutical factories. But it’s hard to imagine anything on the scale of what’s underway.
of opportunity to anticipate risks and act before impacts unfold,” said WMO Secre tary-General Celeste Saulo.
While El Nino and climate change are separate phenom ena, their effects create a harmful combination — and people aren’t taking the connection seriously enough, Guterres said.
“We hear much about record heat, drought and wildfires — but not enough about the real change that is driving these events: the accelerating climate crisis powered by fossil fuels,” Guterres said.
Guterres said the world gets too absorbed by dramatic wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan to notice the dangers of climate change. On top of that, “there is a deliberate campaign, namely by the fossil fuel industry and some countries, in order to pretend that the problems that we are witnessing indeed do not exist.”
The U.N. must be more active and mobilize public opinion “to tell governments it’s time to recognize this threat as an existential threat to us all,” he told reporters.
US, Saudi strikes in nation killed at least 20 fighters of PMF
By Raja Abdulrahim THE NEW YORK TIMES
AMMAN, Jordan — Iraq is home to dozens of armed militias, a legacy of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of the coun try and the war against the extremist Islamic State group. Now, some of those militias have once again been drawn into the broader conflict engulfing the Middle East.
At least 20 fighters of the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF, an umbrella group of Iraqi militias with ties to Iran, were killed in a wave of U.S. and Saudi airstrikes across Iraq targeting the group’s headquarters, the PMF said in a statement Wednesday.
Iraq maintains close ties to both Iran and the U.S. and has often found itself caught between the warring sides, with Iraqi territory at times turned into a proxy battle field. Iraq has also struggled with exerting tighter control over the militias.
WHAT IS THE PMF?
Iraq’s many militias first formed after the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003, which led to widespread anti-American sentiment in the country. Neighboring Iran, which, like Iraq, has a majority Shiite Muslim population, responded by helping to train and arm Iraqi Shiite mili tias to attack occupying U.S. forces in Iraq.
In 2014, as Iraq was battling the rapid spread of the Sunni extremist Islamic State group, many Shiite mili tias banded together under the grouping known as the Popular Mobilization Forces to fight the group, which had seized large parts of Iraq. Some of the militias within the PMF receive military and financial backing from Iran.
Some of those militias at the time also cooperated with the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group.
DOJ dropping charges against ex-Olympian in DC reflecting pool case
FROM NEWS SERVICES
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department moved Friday to dismiss a crimi nal case charging a former Olympian with deliberately damaging the Lincoln Memo rial Reflecting Pool.
Government lawyers said in a 20-page court filing that information provided since the indictment of David Hearn shows that the damage was the result of a “flawed installation by the contrac tor” as well as “the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026.”
“Given all of this newly discovered information, it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the reflecting pool to vandalism, let alone to establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt,” said the filing from U.S. Attor ney Jeanine Pirro.
Hearn’s lawyers said in a statement that the case against him should never have been brought.
“Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of govern ment power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The government’s approach was ready, fire, aim. The admin istration owes Mr. Hearn an apology,” the lawyers said.
Hearn pleaded not guilty in July to one felony count of property destruction and has a trial scheduled to start Sept. 28 in D.C. Superior Court. The charge, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years upon conviction, accuses Hearn of causing at least $1,000 in damage to the pool.

Among the PMF forces that succeeded with U.S. and Iranian support in oust ing the Islamic State group from much of the country was a militia called the Badr Organization. It was also accused at the time of atroci ties against members of Iraq’s Sunni Muslim minority. The militia was one of the groups targeted in the Wednesday airstrikes.
In recent years, the PMF, which gained political influ ence as some of its leaders moved into ministerial posi tions, has agreed to come under the authority of Iraq’s national security forces. But it has never been fully integrated, and some of the militias under its umbrella continue to operate with a large degree of indepen dence and maintain close ties to Iran.

Hearn, 67, of Bethesda, Maryland, competed in three Summer Olympics, earn ing his best finish, ninth, at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee says on its website.
He and his supporters have said the prosecution is a polit ically motivated attempt by the Trump administration to deflect blame and scapegoat others.
Rocket to hit moon: A drifting SpaceX rocket is on a colli sion course with the moon after launching a pair of lunar landers more than a year ago.
The rocket’s upper stage will unintentionally slam into the moon Wednesday, carv ing out a crater and sending up a plume of dust and rubble that scientists — and skygaz ers — are eager to observe.
Space tracking expert Bill Gray predicts an impact of 5,400 mph — seven times the speed of sound — near Einstein Crater on the moon’s sunlit western limb.
With the action unfolding in the wee hours, the east ern portions of the U.S. and Canada, and much of South America should have the best views.
While scientists are not too concerned about this partic ular piece of space junk, it highlights the growing threat as more and more items cram into orbit.
“Things are getting crowded up there,” said Gray, who plans to view the after math from New Brunswick, Canada.
PMF were carried out early Wednesday morning. The United States said it attacked Iranian proxy armed groups in Iraq in response to recent drone strikes launched by those militias.
The U.S. Central Command said on social media that under the direc tion of Iran’s Revolution ary Guard, the Iraqi militias had launched more than 30 drone strikes this week on U.S. forces in the Middle East and on Saudi energy infra structure.
None of the Iraqi militias claimed responsibility for these recent attacks.
The Saudi Foreign Minis try said in a statement Wednesday, published by state media, that the coun try was not seeking escala tion but would not hesitate to respond to any aggression.

Military jet crash: The U.S. Marine Corps says the pilot of an F-35B stealth fighter is expected to live after ejecting from the jet before it crashed in California.
The jet went down Friday near the Miramar air base in San Diego. A single F-35B fighter jet costs about $109 million.
“The pilot ejected, was transported to a local medi cal facility in stable condition for evaluation and treatment of nonlife-threatening inju ries,” the Marine Corps said in a statement.

condemned “the heinous and unjustified attack targeting the sovereignty of Iraq and its armed forces” and called on the Iraqi government to take a firm stance against the strikes.
On Feb. 28, when the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Iran, the headquarters of another Iraqi militia, Kataib Hezbollah, was hit with airstrikes. The strikes killed three militia members and wounded others.
Neither U.S. Central Command nor the Israeli military claimed responsibil ity, but the PMF blamed the “Zionist-American forces.”
Kataib Hezbollah, along with other Iran-allied armed groups in Iraq, immediately threatened to retaliate against the United States and Israel. The militias said they were defending Iraq’s sovereignty and supporting Iran.
In early March, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was targeted in a rocket attack.
Candace Hadley, a spokes person for San Diego Fire, said firefighters were on scene to respond to a vegeta tion fire that sparked near the crash site. She referred addi tional questions to Miramar.
Banking rules: The Trump administration has announced an overhaul to the rules governing a critical piece of Civil Rights-era legis lation, most notably a reduc tion in the number of banks that will need to fully comply with the law.
The Office of the Comp troller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on Friday jointly announced the proposed changes to the Community Reinvest ment Act, a law that requires regulators to document how well banks do in lending to low-to-middle income neigh borhoods.
No group took responsibility. Since then, Kataib Hezbol lah and other militias have launched drone and rocket attacks on U.S. targets in Iraq.
The group has also claimed responsibility for high-profile kidnappings, including the abduction this year of Shelly Kittleson, a U.S. journalist in Baghdad. She was freed after one week.
Kataib Hezbollah has long been closely tied to Iran’s Quds Force, the overseas arm of Iran’s powerful Revo lutionary Guard. In 2009, the U.S. designated it as a foreign terrorist organization.
Kataib Hezbollah and the Badr Organization are among the militias that operate partially outside state control.

Cue the emotion and a different kind of waterworks

he last time Lorde, born Ella Yelich-O’Connor, played Lollapalooza in Chicago in 2017, she was no more than two songs in before an emer gency weather evacuation for a thunderstorm robbed her and her audience of what surely would’ve been a formidable performance behind her seminal sophomore album “Melodrama.”
She recounted this experience from nine years ago about a third of the way through her headlin ing set Thursday night, where she closed the T-Mobile stage oppo site from Naperville-native John Summit on the Bud Light — the choice between the pop auteur from New Zealand and hometown (adjacent) hero was discussed by festival-goers all day: in the line at the Ferris wheel, in line at the water refill station.
set.
“I was so excited,” she recalled, specifically citing the “summer crushes, horniness and obsession” of the song “The Louvre” as the one she was most looking forward to playing.
“And I’ve been so nervous all day because I really care about Chicago,” she added of her return, also briefly mentioning her Lolla debut in 2014 when she was just 17 years old.
Known for relatively mini mal production (when her 2013 debut album “Pure Heroine” was first released, she more or less performed in the dark), she was joined on stage by two band members alternating between keys, guitar and bass, two inter pretive dancers serving as a couple and strangers simultaneously, and a schoolyard water fountain.
Setting herself apart from her peers with lyrics question ing popular culture artifice and consumption, the uncertain future, aging and fear of feeling seen, she carved out a larger space for intro spection — and undeniable credi bility for early Gen Z songwriters — on pop music’s dance floor. Play ing with geometry and shadows in choreography and light design, songs like “Buzzcut Season,” “Shapeshifter” and “Oceanic Feel ing” took on an almost haunting quality as thousands stood at the T-Mobile stage. Visceral in her movements and contortions, and willingly ugly at times (compli mentary, we love the drama), the singer danced and crawled across the stage and writhed on a riser that elevated her hundreds of feet above the crowd.

Scattered throughout this year’s Lollapalooza lineup of musicians in Grant Park are artists that have risen in popularity in recent years, some with the help of online virality — even for those with careers spanning over a decade. Social media continues to play a hand in shaping people’s interests, including the artists they discover and how they engage with their music. For some, that looks like finding new music on streaming services and by word- of-mouth. For others, it’s scrolling on apps like TikTok until the next big artists reveal themselves.
For Elizabeth Nichols, a coun try singer and songwriter whose songs “I Got a New One” and “Little Birds” quickly garnered thousands of views, likes and comments on TikTok, social media is helping make music more accessible.

lap, Lorde’s audience was fully committed to the mutual cathar sis. She even played “Liability” — marking yet another year of crying at Lollapalooza.
“The future is different from what I imagined. It’s harder and it’s darker. I’m scared,” she confessed.
“For us, dancing and crying and singing to each other, that’s one of the best ways I have to feel alive. And I’m sorry to say it’s going to
music or wanted me to release music if it wasn’t for TikTok. I would have never in a million years. I think that music is the most accessible it’s ever been.”
Over the past two years, Nich ols has fully embraced the love she’s received online and given it back to the fans, both in person and virtually.
“I love posting, and I feel like that’s like the best way to connect with everybody,” Nichols said. “Especially meeting people, play ing shows and going out and meet ing people who listen to my music has been so cool and so awesome. For so long it’s been just TikTok comments, so it is different getting to hold them and hug them and say thank you and hear them sing the songs. It’s been really cool.”
Some festival-goers said they found their favorite artists through a mix of methods, includ ing shuffling songs on Spotify, talking to friends and explor ing social media. That’s the case for 23-year-old Eliza McManus, whose only goal for opening day on Thursday was to be at the barricade for indie-pop sing er-songwriter Audrey Hobert’s

“Make it what you want. Ask yourself every day, am I acting trapped when I could be acting free? We gotta stay awake, Lolla. Because this feels too good, right here in this moment and it’s slip ping through our fingers right now. It’s ours and it’s beautiful.”
So when it was time to dance, they danced.

On the other hand, social media is how Alaina Sebring, 22, discov ered Hobert, first hearing her music when the song “Sue Me” came out and went viral in 2025.
“A hundred percent, that’s how I find basically everybody now,” Sebring said.
Fellow festival-goer Victo ria Morris, 20, echoed Sebring’s thoughts, adding that social media saturation helped heighten how much she likes an artist.
“You’re more inclined to see them and see their performances and see them posting, and you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s good,’ instead of just getting one song on the radio,” Morris said. “You’re hearing it over and over. You’re hearing it all the time, you’re scrolling on social media and you’re seeing ‘Sue Me’ every three scrolls instead of the radio where you hear it every 20 songs.”
A new edition of the Beatles’ album “Rubber Soul” drops Oct. 2. EVENING STANDARD 1964
Reissue to include unreleased demo
FROM NEWS SERVICES
An upcoming reissue of the Beatles’ “Rubber Soul” album features an unre leased song demo from John Lennon.
The newly mixed rendi tion of the 1965 record is slated for release Oct. 2. The album includes a new look at well-known tunes such as “Michelle,” “Day Trip per,” “Nowhere Man” and “We Can Work It Out.”
But what’s drawing the attention of many Fab Four fanatics is a demo version of a tune by the late John Lennon titled “Little Girl.” A news release describes that track as “a previously unheard John Lennon song outline never before released or even rumoured.”
The mystery demo was recorded during a month long 1965 studio session that took place shortly after the Beatles performed at Shea Stadium in New York City. Few details about the track are known.
The new “Super Deluxe’ collection of “Rubber Soul” demos, outtakes and alter nate tracks also includes an 88-page book featuring an introduction by Beatles bassist and vocalist Paul McCartney.
The reissue was produced by Grammy winner Giles Martin.

husband has drinking problem
R. Eric Thomas
ASKING ERIC
Dear Eric: My husband has struggled with prob- lem drinking for years. At different points over the past several years, he has suffered legal consequences and lost a job.
After a recent hospital stay, he stopped drink- ing for many months. Just recently, he has started to drink again, he claims “just here and there.” It is bother- ing me and other members of our family because we see it as a slippery slope.
However, his mother, who he is close with, refuses to acknowledge his problem. She blamed his hospital stay on poor diet despite the doctor’s diagno- sis that his health condition was caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
Most recently, she walked into a family event where no one else was drinking (except my husband), put down a bottle of wine and said, “Let’s party.”
How can I let her know without offending her that her “accepting” behavior is impeding his recovery? — Concerned Spouse
Dear Concerned: You may have to risk offending but consider that a small price to pay in the interest of your husband’s health and safety.
The kind of denial that your mother-in-law is exhibiting is one of the things that organizations like Al-Anon and SMART Recovery Family were made for. These meetings can help family members of those who struggle with alcohol abuse to recognize the problem, to under- stand the limits of their own power to make their loved one change and to start processing their own feel- ings about their loved one’s
Pop contrarian grapples with fame
By Maria Sherman ASSOCIATED PRESS
When Charli XCX released the barely two- minute, glitched-out “Rock Music,” the first single from “Music, Fashion, Film,” she was almost immediately labeled a provocateur.
The song, with its hyperpop affectations and cheeky, lyrical dedication to craft — “I think the dance floor is dead / So now we’re making rock music” — confused and confounded. Was she trolling? Was she being sincere? Was the entire record going to be made up of power chords? Was “Brat,” her zeitgeist- shifting 2024 electro album, worthy of total rejection?
No answers can be found on “Music, Fashion, Film.” It’s up for the listener to decide. What is present are 11 genre-averse songs with winking rock ’n’ roll instru mentation, preoccupied by artmaking and ego. And what is clear is that Charli XCX and her dedicated team, the co-producers and songwriters A.G. Cook and Finn Keane, have a coher ent collaborative vision — just like a band might.
Conceptually, the candor of “Brat,” at the top of its hedonism, connected the club to a panic attack or, at the very least, a diary page, with its unwavering dedi cation to lyrical vulnerabil ity. “Music, Fashion, Film” meets those same depths, but now with anxieties focusing primarily on fame, creativity and performance.
Reputation and percep tion have always mattered deeply to Charli XCX. On “Music, Fashion, Film” they still do — just not as much as her many thoughts on what it means to be an artist — delivered with distortion and humor throughout.
If you aren’t already going to meetings like this, look into them. You can go in person or online. You are carrying a lot of emotional — and perhaps legal or financial — baggage as a result of your husband’s drinking, and it will be helpful to talk it through and get strategies from people who’ve walked the same road.
You, unfortunately, can’t control what your mother-in-law does or thinks. That’s something she has to reckon with on her own. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t talk to her about it. You can use “I” statements to reflect what you’ve experienced with regard to your husband’s drinking and make requests about how she behaves around him. But it’s up to her to modify her behav- ior and, ultimately, it’s up to your husband to take responsibility for his drink- ing and seek treatment that works for him.
You can support him, you can attend meetings with him, and you can invite his mother to Al-Anon or SMART Recovery Family meetings, but they have to take the step with you.
Dear Eric: My son, who is in his mid-20s, is in a long- term relationship with James, who is 10 years his senior. James graduated with a mechanical engi- neering degree in 2023 but remains unemployed.
While James has applied for several positions, he has not had any success. He refuses to consider work outside of his very specific field, and as a result, my son is supporting him finan- cially, including paying off James’ student loans. James refuses to consider part-time employment or even volunteering as a way to network and potentially expand his exposure to employment opportunities and networking.
My son has confided

like on the standout “Card Declined.”
“2007,” written about filming TikToks, avoids vapidity atop power chords that play out like someone learning pop-punk covers for the first time, and sets a notable undercurrent for the album: The instrumen tation is repeatable, often valuing rhythm-driven minimalism and alterna tive tunings, the sound of an early musical love.
The production is another story. Complica tions abound, like in the unexpected tempo change found in the charming post-rock “Magic Metal Montana,” a platonic love song written for Cook.
The catchy chorus of chords and drum machine on “SS26” doesn’t have some of the rhythm of songs that offer a guitar-drums- bass reprieve, like “Yeah” and “Wink Wink.” But its distinct lack of the undeni able percussions that made “Brat” is welcomed.
in me that he is growing very frustrated with this situation. While I try to listen without judgment and remain supportive, I am becoming increasingly concerned that James is taking advantage of him.
Should I speak up to James and let him know what I think about the situ- ation, or should I keep my opinions to myself? — Helpful Mother
Dear Helpful: Split the difference. Don’t speak with James because if you do, you’ll be inserting your- self into an ongoing conflict in your son’s relationship in a way that will pull the focus away from a solution.
James’ “problem” becomes his mother-in-law rather than his work situa- tion and the way it’s impact- ing his partner. James and your son need to work this out, but it isn’t likely that your push will be the thing that finally snaps him out of this rut. However, you can ask your son if he’s open to advice and, if so, tell him what you’re seeing and suggest he be more firm or open with James about what’s going on.
Your son may need some- one he trusts to tell him that this isn’t something he has to put up with. Because he’s in his 20s, he may not have the experience of commu- nicating through conflict with a partner and could benefit from some mentor- ship in how to have these kinds of conversations.
Because he’s younger than James, he also may not feel empowered to fully speak his mind or he may think, at least in the back of his mind, that James must know better than him. So, your voice — as support rather than critique — will be critical.
Send questions to eric@ askingeric.com.
If Charli XCX is looking to find ways for reinven tion, she has found a few, like in the loose and rever berating “I’m Afraid.” That one will invariably inspire lyrical comparisons to Meredith Brooks’ 1997 hit “Bitch” though Charli XCX approaches self-flagella tion where Brooks turns criticism into a weapon. But that’s a distraction from its charms: loose bass, a claus trophobic chorus.
The 2026 meta mocku mentary “The Moment” may have foreshadowed “Music, Fashion, Film.” The movie is a document of what happens after celeb rity ambitions are realized. It isn’t a partner piece to this album, but there’s a shared ideology: Both are an illumination of what it is to be Charli XCX without the self-hagiography of an artist-produced documen tary. Both are funny. Both are imbued with verisimil itude, while portraying a persona approximating her truth. And, ultimately, both are a bit dizzying.
Throughout her career, Charli XCX has existed at a crossroads, a cult-clas sic artist with pop-star recognition. “Music, Fash ion, Film” is yet another evolution in that teetering identity, a big swing if one that may go underappre ciated by newer fans. And if that’s the case, that’s a disappointment: Here, she remains one of the current moment’s most interesting pop contrarians.

The upcoming fifth season of “The Morning Show” will be its last, Apple TV announced recently, promising a “star-studded” final run.
Stars and executive producers Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon went into filming knowing this, Aniston revealed.
“From the beginning, Apple has supported our vision for ‘The Morning Show,’ and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to tell stories that reflect what’s happening in the world around us with a twist of dark humor,” she said in a statement from Apple TV. “It’s been such a privilege to work with this insanely talented cast and our extraordinary writers, producers and crew. We’ve become such a family, and we’re all so excited to share this final season. And going in knowing it would be our last, we were so fortunate to craft the conclusion with intentionality and honor these characters the way they deserve.”
The drama series, loosely based on journalist Brian Stelter’s book “Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morn ing TV,” depicts life behind the scenes at a fictional morning news-talk show with plots ripped straight from real-life headlines.
“This was always more than a show about a news room — it was a show about why the newsroom matters,” Witherspoon said in Apple TV’s state ment. “About freedom of the press and the journal ists who protect the fourth estate, often at great cost. Telling that story has been the creative privilege of my career.”

‘Wildwood’ in development from ‘Derry Girls’ creator: A new comedy set at the Jersey Shore is in the works from Irish writer Lisa McGee, the creator behind the hilarious hit show “Derry Girls.”
“Wildwood” will follow a group of college girls visiting New Jersey from Ireland in summer 2000 with “no money, no visas, no plan, no clue,” according to Deadline.
McGee’s “Derry Girls” became a whopping inter national hit after first airing on Britain’s Channel 4 in 2018 and later landing on Netflix. That show follows a group of messy, raunchy and zany teens — including “Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan — at an all-girls Catholic school in the 1990s during the Troubles conflict in Northern Ireland.
The show was a semi- autobiographical story for McGee, who grew up in Derry and writes irrever ent, cheeky young charac ters that make audiences cringe, cry and laugh out loud.

Hauser says filming had ‘challenges’: TV star Cole Hauser said everything changed between filming “Yellowstone” and spinoff “Dutton Ranch.” Hauser is one of a few actors to appear in both shows, the second of which saw less involvement from “Yellow stone” creator Taylor Sher idan.
“There were challenges, you know? Not having Taylor there,” Hauser said. “For us to really kind of be able to work with these new writers, these new direc tors, these people — every thing had changed.”
Hauser, who plays rancher Rip Wheeler in the original and the spinoff, said he focused on the creative process while filming. Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton, and Finn Little, who plays Carter, were the only other main cast members to make the jump from “Yellowstone.”
“We had to figure out on our feet how to really perform and tell a story,” Hauser said. “I’m proud of what we accomplished and look forward to doing it again.”

If August 1 is your birthday: When the Universe tests something, if it’s not strong enough, it will fail. But nothing is ever taken that you need for your destiny; all that is tak- en is replaced in time with better situations. This somewhat encapsulates your 2026 — the first part was testing. Aries (March 21-April 19): The very nature of creativity as a divine, ephemeral vibration automatically defies any attempts at control. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Domination can win the stand- off but it never wins hearts or minds — so while it can win many battles, it will always lose the war. Gemini (May 21-June 20): When someone is committed to misunderstanding there’s no magic trick that can make them get it — if thinking what they think serves them, there’s little motivation to consider other possibilities. Cancer (June 21-July 22): Regardless of what you’re thinking right now, it’s a poor time to make any kind of big decision or expenditure. Might doesn’t make right—today, tomorrow, or any day. Find things that bring wholesome joy. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Speak softly; those that are aligned will get it immediately. Those that are misaligned won’t, but they wouldn’t at any volume. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Listen to the wisest inner voices, not those urging mayhem — you know the difference. More movement can be created by sowing the subtlest seeds. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Going head-to-head isn’t the way progress is made unless both parties are more committed to solutions than winning. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let the Universe handle this one, any extra push could be misread now and somehow do more harm than good. Below-zero stars seldom facilitate desired outcomes, put a pin in it until Monday at least. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The voice of reason may be audible, but just barely. It would be easy to choose the wrong path, listen hard for the truth in your gut. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Handling financial matters or even making a decision is a giant ‘Nope’ under current stars. So is making a big purchase no matter how appealing the promotion. Wait until Monday or after. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An urge to spend more than is wise could be hard to resist but you can if you decide you can. Let long-term goals trump momentary fulfillment.

Today’s deal is from a recent club duplicate. All the North-South pairs reached four spades and received the queen of hearts lead. Most declarers went down in this contract by assuming a favorable 3-2 split in trumps, which would happen about two thirds of the time. They cashed the two top trumps before ruffing a diamond in dummy. They had to lose two trump tricks, one diamond, and one club. One declarer was more careful. Before touching trumps, he cashed the ace and king of diamonds and ruffed a diamond in dummy. East over-ruffed and shifted to the jack of clubs. South won in dummy with the ace and cashed the king of trumps. He then ruffed a heart in his hand and ruffed his last diamond in dummy. East also over-ruffed this but the defense could only get a club trick from here and South made his contract. He won the club continuation in hand with the king and cashed the ace of trumps, which was sure to draw the last trump no matter who had it. Nicely done! This line of play also gave South a slim chance for an overtrick – precious in a pairs game. If both opponents had followed suit to the third round of diamonds, South would have ruffed his last diamond with a low trump in dummy. This would produce an overtrick if the trumps split 3-2 and the opponent with three trumps over-ruffed the fourth diamond.

Teams and players like to avoid potential in-season distractions, and Wright is taking on an injury risk every time he’s on the field. So long-term security before Week 1 makes sense.

BEARS TRAINING CAMP REPORT Bears put focus on 2nd quarter
to Coen’s comment
By Sean Hammond
and Brad Biggs CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Chicago Bears coach Ben John son wants to see his team perform better in the waning minutes before halftime.
Last season quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense some times resembled magicians in the fourth quarter, but they had less success with situational football in the second quarter.
“It’s a huge point of emphasis for us,” Johnson said.
That was apparent Friday at Halas Hall, where the Bears held their third practice of training camp and their first with fans in the stands. Here’s what stood out.
CALEB WILLIAMS WATCH
The Bears’ seven fourth-quar ter comebacks last season were remarkable. But the end of the second quarter is a critical stretch, and Johnson knows his team can be better.
The Bears outscored their oppo nents in every quarter except the second in 2025. They scored just 93 points (5.47 per game) in the quarter while allowing 143 (8.41 per game).
“We talked about that as a team (Thursday) night, and (Friday was) our first chance to work that situ ation at two-minute before half time,” Johnson said. “I’ve said it for a year and a half now: Anytime you put emphasis on something, you normally see good things happen because of it.”
Johnson put his offense in a tie game with 1:37 to go before halftime. Williams led the starters 61 yards, capping the drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Colston Love land.
Running back D’Andre Swift converted on third-and-3 at the 43-yard line with a run up the middle. The offense also overcame a sack when the pocket collapsed around Williams. Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. appeared to be the nearest defender on the sack. Two offside penalties against the defense also helped.
For a team that was so good at situational football in the fourth quarter, the disparity between the first and second halves was puzzling.
“Our guys understand how important that is,” Johnson said. “It’s a way for us to possibly steal a possession through the course of the game if we handle the before- half procedure correctly. And of course we want some more momen tum going into halftime as well than what we did.”
NEWS OF THE DAY
Friday featured a revolving door at left tackle. Kiran Amegadjie saw the most action with the starters, but Jedrick Wills Jr. also worked in. After spending the first two days with the starters, Braxton Jones mostly worked with the second-

and third-team offenses.
Much like he did last year, John son wants to look at all options. Jones could be the favorite to win the job, but he’s certainly not a lock.
Jones said the rotation can be a challenge at times.
“I assumed that it would be like that,” he said. “It is a competition at the end of the day. Regardless of that, wherever we’re put — ones, twos, threes — you’ve got to go perform and do your thing.”
Amegadjie, a 2024 third-round draft pick who has started one game in his career, played with the first- team offense during the two-min ute drill.
PLAYER IN THE SPOTLIGHT: D’MARCO JACKSON
Talk about an eventful 12 months for D’Marco Jackson.
The linebacker was trying to survive a coaching change and cling to the edge of the New Orle ans Saints roster at this time last summer. He wound up being waived, and the Bears claimed him in part because defensive coordi nator Dennis Allen had worked with Jackson in New Orleans but more because of his special teams production.
Jackson fit in immediately on special teams, and when injuries struck, he wound up starting four games at linebacker, including a 15-tackle effort against the Pitts burgh Steelers. He had an intercep tion and a sack in the victory over the Cleveland Browns.
When free agency arrived, Jack son got a two-year, $7.5 million contract from the Bears. He wore the green dot on his helmet Friday as the linebacker communicating the calls to the huddle.
How things play out remains to be seen. Devin Bush is a definite starter. T.J. Edwards remains on the non-football injury list with what the team has called a minor right calf injury, and his absence is creating more reps for Jackson and others. So far, Jack Sanborn has played mostly in base situations on
added 14 points and Leila Lacan had 12 points and six assists.
Lacan made a driving layup with 4:54 left that made it 76-all, but Cardoso answered 16 seconds later with a layup that sparked a decisive 11-2 run.

the strong side. Jackson might get a look there, too, after Edwards is healthy.
There’s no question Johnson appreciates what Jackson added last year after not seeing much time on defense with the Saints.
“There’s guys like that every year that you really don’t know a whole lot about and they end up helping you win ballgames,” Johnson said. “Certainly he did in a critical stretch of the season a year ago. (Allen) knew him, he knew the scheme, he knew the defense, so he was able to hit the ground running from that regard.
“He was a vital part of what we were doing on special teams as well. It didn’t take long to see how he was in the building, how he communi cated with his teammates, to know that he was going to be a great fit for who we are and what we do.
“And he’s got a little attitude to him. I love his demeanor, his approach. He’s a Carolina boy, too, so (we’ve) got that shared bond. But I can’t say enough good things about D’Marco.”
SEEN AND HEARD
A day after declaring that his foot feels “great,” Rome Odunze made a nifty catch in a team session early in practice. Odunze extended both arms over his head and caught a pass over the middle from Williams.
In addition to the end-of-half scenario, the Bears focused on the red zone. During a full-team session, Williams connected with Loveland for a touchdown. So far, Loveland has continued to look like a matchup problem for the defense, as he did late last season.
“He’s got a lot of versatility,” Jack son said. “He’s a good route runner, he’s loose. He’s really good at the catch point, his radius. He’s a good all-around player, and I feel like he’s going to be a challenge in camp.”
In a 7-on-7 red-zone session, cornerback Jaylon Johnson inter cepted a pass from Williams in the end zone. Williams was again targeting Loveland on a short pass near the hashmarks when Johnson

jumped the route.
The second-team offense’s end-of-half scenario was hampered by a pass-interference penalty against rookie wide receiver Zavion Thomas. Backup quarter back Tyson Bagent couldn’t connect with wide receiver Scotty Miller on third-and-10 near midfield, and the possession ended with what would’ve been a punt.
QUOTE OF NOTE
Liam Coen isn’t the only NFL coach who can find material to sell to his players as a sign they’re being slighted.
“Well, we’re the No. 1 regression candidate, so we’ve got plenty of motivation ourselves,” Ben John son said Friday.
Johnson is well aware that some are skeptical about the Bears’ 2026 prospects, based on their high number of narrow wins as they went 11-6 a year ago.
Some backstory is required here. Coen, the Jacksonville Jaguars coach, name-dropped Williams earlier this week on a Jacksonville sports radio station. Maybe it was a subtle dig at the attention Williams has garnered, but it was probably more to make the point that his team — which went 13-4 last season — isn’t getting any national head lines.
“This is the best part of coaching the Jacksonville Jaguars: You don’t have to make up (bulletin-board material),” Coen said on the air on WJXL. “You don’t have to make up the fire. It’s given to us every day. It’s a gift from the heavens.
“I just go pull out my phone, look up the NFL Network website and just pop it up here, and I’m curious if I see any photos, or anything, about the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think I’ll just scroll right on through.”
Coen pulled out his phone and scrolled the website during the live spot.
“I think I’ll see 40 pictures of Caleb Williams and I won’t see a single thing about any (Jaguars) players on here,” he said. “So it’s beautiful. I’m going to tell these guys how much you all think they suck, and we’ll keep going.”
Coen’s remarks caught Williams’ attention on social media, and the Bears quarterback loves adding to a list of folks who doubted him.
“He’s used to handling a lot of attention, so I’m not worried about that,” Johnson said.
The Bears and Jaguars will meet Dec. 6 at Soldier Field, so there will be plenty of time for new slights, whether perceived or real.
INJURIES AND PARTICIPATION
Running back Kyle Monangai missed his second consecutive day of practice.
Seven players remain on the non-football injury or physically unable to perform lists: corner back Kyler Gordon (calf), safety Elijah Hicks (shin), linebackers Edwards (calf), Keyshaun Elliott (back) and Noah Sewell (Achilles tendon), defensive end Shemar Turner (knee) and offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo (knee).

best prospects,” Fuller said. “He comes over here, gets hit in the gut a little bit, has to make adjust ments. Where he is now is incred ible.”
Peters’ season also has been an “incredible story,” Fuller said.
“It’s no secret, when camp broke and he’s on the team, he was asked to, ‘Hey, you’re going to bunt a lot and play really good defense,’” Fuller said. “You fast forward, and he’s an All-Star and one of our best hitters.”
Peters, whose walk-off walk with the bases loaded wrapped up Thursday’s 2-1 victory against the Yankees, was hitless in his last 17 at-bats coming into Friday.
“Like all these guys, you were an All-Star, now you need to make adjustments,” Fuller said. “There’s going to be parts of the zone that you covered before that they’re just not going to go to. They’re going to attack different parts (and) we have to do a really good job of combating that. And he’s working through it.”
Shortstop Colson Montgom ery is among the Sox players going through his first full big-league season. Called up last July, Mont gomery hit 21 home runs in 71 games in 2025. He has 24 homers in 102 games this season.
The left-handed-hitting Mont gomery entered Friday slashing .265/.336/.537 with eight homers against left-handed pitchers. He had a .195/.281/.408 slash line with 16 homers against right- handers.
“Lefties hitting lefties is one of the hardest things to do in base ball,” Fuller said. “You’re doing something that is so hard that some guys spend their whole career trying to figure out, and you’re doing it. That’s a strength. How can we take that approach and tailor it to the righties too?
“He’ll be the first one to tell you, regardless of who’s on the mound, I’m trying to hit a line drive over the shortstop’s head, I’m trying to take out the shortstop. So now it’s how do we make the small adjustments physically to make sure that he’s staying closed, staying on the ball as he is against lefties versus righties.”
Fuller said of rookie outfielders Sam Antonacci (hitting .289 since June 1) and Braden Montgom ery (.288 over his last 14 games): “These guys are so impressive and they love coming to the ball park and working with each other every day. That’s a huge piece to it.”
A big piece of the future, Roch Cholowsky, already is making an impression in the organization shortly after being drafted with the No. 1 pick.
“You hear all the great stuff about Roch, (and) getting to spend time with him, every thing is true — leader, loves baseball, loves being one of the boys,” Fuller said. “At (the recent) draft camp in Char lotte, he took every single guy that was drafted out for a steak dinner. A leader, just a really cool dude that wants to be a part of what’s going on here.”

‘He is elite right now’
By Meghan Montemurro CHICAGO TRIBUNE
In his third full big-league season, Pete Crow-Armstrong already has made his case as the best outfielder in the game.
Kevin Kiermaier knew of Crow-Armstrong when the Chicago Cubs center fielder was still in the minor leagues. Kier maier, the longtime Tampa Bay Rays center fielder, won four Gold Glove Awards and a Platinum Glove Award during his 11 big-league seasons. His center-field play rated among the best in the majors.
“I heard of this dude — ‘PCA, PCA, PCA, he might be your cali ber player’ — and I’m like, OK, and I saw the highlights and just his speed, his arm, everything,” Kier maier told the Tribune. “OK, this dude is good. But I need to see more.”
During his final major-league season in 2024, a trade-deadline move to the Los Angeles Dodgers meant Kiermaier got his first live look at Crow-Armstrong’s defense when the Cubs played at Dodger Stadium that September. He recalls it being the most impressive defen sive series from an outfielder he had ever seen — and that version was just the beginning.
Over the last two seasons, Crow-Armstrong has taken his defense to another level, culmi nating in his first Gold Glove last year and likely another incoming for his 2026 performance.
“He is incredible, and if he keeps doing what he does and has the career that I think a lot of us think he might have and everything goes well, he’s definitely going to be in the argument for the best-ever type of thing with his numbers right now,” Kiermaier said. “For his amount of innings out there and what he’s done, it’d be hard to argue that he is not the best at this point.
“He is elite right now — best defensive outfielder in baseball, and I don’t see that changing until further notice.”
Advanced metrics help quan tify Crow-Armstrong’s elite abil ity beyond the eye test.
Crow-Armstrong is averaging +5.0 feet above average with his jump, best among MLB outfield ers, while also averaging the most feet covered (39.8). And in the Statcast era, the 24-year-old has quickly set the marker for pulling off low-probability catches. In the Cubs game July 20 at Wrigley Field, Crow-Armstrong passed Kier maier for the most 5-star catches, measured by a catch probability of 0-25%, since Statcast began track ing the data in 2016. The metric accounts for time, distance to cover and direction.
In the days after eclipsing Kier maier, Crow-Armstrong has added to his mark. Through Tuesday, Crow-Armstrong had 35 5-star catches in just 1,123 innings with an absurd 54.7% success rate on 5-star balls. Kiermaier recorded 32 5-star catches in 2,118 innings, though the data doesn’t include his

first two seasons in the big leagues when he was a Gold Glove Award finalist in right field (2014) and won his first Gold Glove Award in center field (2015).
When Kiermaier learned last week that Crow-Armstrong broke his 5-star-catches mark, he reflected on his career, some of the standout plays he made and how he demanded perfection from himself.
“When I see stuff like that, I say I wish I could get back out there, have some plays back instead of sitting here saying coulda, shoulda, woulda, but man, respect,” Kier maier, 36, said. “I saw what his innings were compared to mine and the catches, and he is amazing at covering ground and how quick he can get from point A to point B and make catches a lot of other guys don’t even get close to, so Cubs fans, Cubs pitchers, they’re spoiled.”
“You want the ‘Oohs’ and ‘Aahs’ from the crowd, and when you have a skill set like his, it’s like, hey, please get the ball to me or in my area as much as possible and watch. He’s so good at finishing plays and making the 5-star catches and all the other plays in between.”
Crow-Armstrong sits at 59 OAA.
Kiermaier wryly admits with a laugh that the competitive part of him doesn’t want to say that Crow-Armstrong is a better defender.
“But he’s on a trajectory right now where his numbers are going to be off the charts,” Kiermaier said. “It’s his platform right now and he gets to paint whatever picture he chooses to.”
When Kiermaier roamed the outfield, he prayed that if the pitcher wasn’t going to strike out the batter that the ball be hit to him, particularly in a sacrifice-fly situation where it comes down to the outfielder to prevent the run from scoring. Kiermaier believes Crow-Armstrong possesses that same mentality, adding that’s half the battle.
“He has the mindset for it and then all the physical tools,” Kier maier said. “I mean, elite across the board and everything he does, and much respect to him for the product that he puts out there on the field.
Kiermaier built his major-league career around his defense.
Following his retirement after the 2024 season, he worked for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025. He spent four days a week during spring training with their big-leaguers and minor-leaguers, then through out the season spent time at a Blue Jays minor-league affiliate once a month. After that experience, Kier maier wanted to expand his impact and use his defensive reputation to help outfielders with major-league organizations at any level. He was inspired to create the 3-9 Effect in the offseason to become an outfield consultant with the goal of instill ing outfield throwing programs, understanding how to shag batting practice and more in an effort to revolutionize outfield defense.
“I knew how I was offensively and I needed people, I needed so much guidance on what to do offensively and I watch young outfielders and guys who noth ing has clicked defensively for them,” Kiermaier said. “Let me show you how we think and how we do things, so I’m having fun with it.”
Crow-Armstrong and Kiermaier have exchanged texts over the years, and every now and then Kier maier shoots off a “You’re unreal” and “These catches never cease to amaze me.” They’ve never met face to face, and Kiermaier hopes one day that can happen. Sometimes he will hear from his brother, Dan, the Cubs head groundskeeper, of how Crow-Armstrong reminds him of Kiermaier.
For now, he’s going to keep watching Crow-Armstrong pull off stellar plays in the outfield.
“PCA is unreal, and he’s going to be elite for years to come,” Kier maier said. “I think we can have this conversation 10, 12 years down the road and I’ll say, boy, little did I know he was going to do this, this and that. He deserves all the praise and credit that he’s getting because there’s levels to this and he is the highest level out there.”

“The ability to throw the splitter competitively quite a bit and what he’s been able to do to lefties, that sinker, it’s been fun to watch,” left fielder Ian Happ said. “Not enough run support for him today, but he was fantastic.”
Imanaga’s lone blemishes — solo home runs to Amed Rosario in the fourth and Spencer Jones in the fifth — proved to be the difference Friday, but the Cubs lineup was stumped by Yankees right-hander Will Warren, who struck out seven over 6 2/3 innings. The Cubs, who entered Friday leading the majors in walks (473), failed to draw a free pass, just the third time that has happened this season.
“I think any time somebody can get 27 outs against us and we don’t have a walk, that means somebody’s doing a pretty good job, and they’ve got a lot of stuff working,” Counsell said. “He was able to throw offspeed whenever he wanted. His fastball was well located in big pitches, in decision counts. He pitched a good game.”
The Cubs figure to be aggres sive before Monday’s deadline, but adding a pitcher atop the rotation to pair with Imanaga could provide a massive boost, especially if the left-hander continues the trend he has been on. He has a 3.67 ERA this season and has allowed just two earned runs in his three starts since the All-Star break (0.92 ERA).
“Not sure what’s going to happen, but looking forward to it,” Imanaga said through an interpreter. “Our starters, we go into the bullpen before the game, watch each other, warm up, we’re in the dugout, and we stand next to each other. We talk about pitching, share ideas. Looking forward to if there is another starter added, getting to know him and also being in the dugout and share ideas about pitching.”
The Cubs added another pitcher to the injured list before the series opener. Right-hander Gavin Hollow ell was placed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation. The team recalled left-hander Antoine Kelly, a Chicago native and Maine East graduate, from Triple-A Iowa.
Hollowell threw a scoreless eighth inning in the Cubs’ 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in Thurs day’s series finale but was struggling to bounce back in his recovery after outings.
“So it’s a pretty clear sign we need to press pause for a little bit,” Coun sell said before the game. “I don’t think we have a serious injury here. He needs some rest, and I think he should be fine. If not the minimum, I think we’re pretty close to it.”
Kelly made his major-league debut, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings and striking out Yankees slugger Ben Rice to escape an eighth-inning jam with two runners on for his first career strikeout.
Friday’s roster move is likely to be the precursor to a busy next few days with new faces strolling into the home clubhouse at Wrigley Field. Monday’s deadline is the last day the Cubs can add meaningful external players to their roster. With the team holding the top NL wild-card spot and six games back of the Milwau kee Brewers in the NL Central, it’s the last chance to improve the roster from the outside. Of course, internal additions may buoy the pitching staff too.
Closer Daniel Palencia is expected to face hitters Saturday at Wrigley Field and could go on a rehab assign ment after that, meaning a return in a few weeks is possible. Justin Steele was back in Chicago, too, and is scheduled to throw off a mound Saturday.
Right-hander Edward Cabrera was scheduled to make a rehab outing with Iowa on Friday, and right-handers Hunter Harvey and Ben Brown could return to the Cubs bullpen before the season ends.
“It’s exciting,” Steele said before Friday’s game. “Ben and I have talked about it. We want to be able to come back at the end of the season and really make some impactful help in the bullpen or wherever the case may be. It’s an exciting group. We got an opportunity in front of us.”

ON THIS DATE: AUGUST 1
1937: Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees hit for the cycle in a 14-5 rout of the St. Louis Browns. It was the second cycle of Gehrig’s career. Gehrig hit a two-run homer in the first inning, doubled in the second, singled in the fourth and tripled in the seventh. 1941: New York Yankees pitcher Lefty Gomez walked 11 St. Louis batters in a 9-0 victory to set a major league record for walks in a shutout. 1962: Bill Monbouquette of the Boston Red Sox pitched a no-hitter to beat the White Sox 1-0 at Chicago. 1970: Willie Stargell of Pittsburgh hit three doubles and two home runs to power the Pirates to a 20-10 rout of the Braves in Atlanta. 1972: Nate Colbert of the San Diego Padres drove in 13 runs in a doubleheader with five home runs and two singles. San Diego beat the Atlanta Braves in both games, 9-0 and 11-7. 1977: Willie McCovey of the San Francisco Giants hit two home runs, including his 18th career grand slam, a total that still leads the National League. 1978: Pete Rose went 0-for-4 against Atlanta pitchers Larry McWilliams and Gene Garber to end his 44-game hitting streak as the Braves defeated the Reds 16-4. 1986: Bert Blyleven threw a two-hitter and struck out 15 to become the 10th major league pitcher with 3,000 career strikeouts and Kirby Puckett hit for the cycle to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 10-1 victory over the Oakland A’s. Puckett tripled in the first inning, doubled in the fifth, singled in the sixth homered in the eighth. Puckett finished 4 for 5 with three runs and two RBIs. It was the first cycle to happen at the Metrodome. 1994: Baltimore’s Cal Ripken became the second major leaguer to play 2,000 straight games, and the Orioles edged Minnesota 1-0. 1998: Switch-hitter Tony Clark set an AL record by homering from both sides of the plate for the third time this year, powering the Detroit Tigers past Tampa Bay 8-0. 2006: Carlos Guillen hit for the cycle in Detroit’s 10-4 victory over Tampa Bay. 2009: The Oakland A’s retire Rickey Henderson’s uniform number 24. 2017: Evan Longoria hits for the cycle, becoming the second player in team history to pull off the feat, as the Rays defeat the Astros, 6-4. It takes a video review to confirm that he slid safely into second base in the 9th for the missing double that completes the quartet of hits.

baseman Ryan Mountcastle has suffered a torn oblique during his recovery from an earlier left foot fracture and might not return this season, team president Mike Elias said on Friday. Meanwhile, closer Félix Bautista is near ing a return this season, Elias said. The 29-year-old Mountcastle has only played in eight games in 2026 for a team that entered Friday at 53-56 and 2 1/2 games out of the final AL wild-card spot. He was preparing to play in a rehab game Tuesday when he sustained the injury, Elias said. “It’s going to be a couple of months,” Elias said of Mountcastle, who has a career slash line of .263/.312/.438 and 98 home runs in 660 career games, all with Baltimore. “We hope to get him back as soon as we’re able to. And hopefully that’s in 2026. But it’s a tough restart for Ryan.” Bautista, 31, was a 2023 All-Star, missed all of 2024 recovering from Tommy John surgery, then was shut down in July 2025 and underwent a second surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff in August 2025. He has 67 saves and a 2.01 ERA in 156 career relief outings for the Orioles. He is rehabbing at the team’s complex in Sarasota, Florida. ... The Orioles signed reliever Yennier Cano to a two-year contract Friday for the 2027 and 2028 seasons with a club option for 2029. The deal essentially buys out the two remaining years Cano would have been eligible for salary arbitration and gives the O’s the choice of whether to keep him under team control for 2029 or allow him to become a free agent at that point.

Corey Seager was activated from the injured list Friday along with several other moves made by the Rangers ahead of their pivotal series with the Astros. The 32-year- old Seager missed the last 23 games with inflammation in his lower back. He went 1 for 5 with a home run in two games of a rehabilitation assignment for Double-A Frisco earlier this week before return ing to the team for the first time since July 1. Seager has been limited to 51 games this season.

Ayami Sato pitches during a Women’s Pro Baseball League exhibition game on March 19 in Fort Myers, Fla. AP
By Jay Cohen ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The nation’s
first women’s professional baseball league in nearly 30 years is about to embark on its inaugural season in
what marks a major milestone in the scattered history of the sport in the United States.
The Women’s Pro Baseball League is also part of a timeline that goes back to the very beginning of the sport.
“Women have always been part of this game,” said Kat Williams, the
chief executive officer of the
International Women’s Baseball
Center. “We’ve always played,
we’ve always umpired, we’ve always coached.
And in some of the earliest refer ences in the 17th century, the earliest references to something like a game of
baseball, it was women that were play ing it.”
Next up is the WPBL, which plays its first game Saturday. The league has four teams — New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco — for its first year, but the 15 regular-season games for each club and the playoffs will be held at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois.
The ballpark has a seating capacity of 5,200, and Springfield hosted one of the earliest paid women’s games when the Blondes faced the Brunettes on Sept. 11, 1875.
Kelsie Whitmore, Mo’ne Davis and Ayami Sato are among the marquee names expected to play in the league’s first season. Each team will have 15 active players for the seven-inning games.
“It’s amazing. It’s one of those kind of things that we always hoped would happen, but wasn’t sure that we would see it happen anytime soon,” said Leslie Heaphy, the president of the
IWBC and the chair of the women in baseball committee for the Society for American Baseball Research. “And it’s fitting, it’s needed, and yeah, it’s excit ing.”
BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT DURING WORLD WAR II
While women have been connected to baseball since the beginning of the game, the first professional women’s league was the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Immor talized in the film “A League of Their Own,” it ran from 1943-54.
The AAGPBL began during World War II as a softball league before converting to baseball. Jean Faut, Doris Sams and Dottie Kamenshek were among the league’s best players. Maybelle Blair, who pitched in the AAGPBL in 1948, is on the WPBL’s advi sory board.
“It was never intended to last past 1945 when it first started, but the fact that it lasts through 1954 tells you some thing about the importance, I think,” said Heaphy, an associate professor at Kent State-Stark.
“It tells you about the determination of those involved, and I think it tells you a lot about the interest of the fans.”
HOLLYWOOD SPURRED RENEWED INTEREST IN WOMEN’S BASEBALL
After the AAGPBL ceased operations, it would be another 40 years — in the wake of the box office success for “A League of Their Own” — before inter est in professional women’s baseball resurfaced.
From 1994-97, Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro managed an all-female pro team, the Colorado Silver Bullets, that barnstormed the country facing men’s amateur and semi-pro teams. The Ladies Professional Baseball League played in 1997 and part of 1998 before folding. It was based in the southwest ern United States before expanding to New York and New Jersey. Former big league sluggers Bobby Bonds and George Foster were involved in another short-lived league in the mid-1990s in Florida.
The Twins acquired left-handed reliever A.J. Minter from the Mets for minor league infielders Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick on Friday, reinforcing a thin bullpen ahead of the trade deadline. The 19-year-old Agbayani, who is the son of former Mets fan favorite Benny Agbayani, is a middle infielder who hit .268 in 10 games for Fort Myers in low Class A this season. The sixth-round 2025 draft pick, a native of Hawaii, has been limited by inju ries. The 23-year-old Amick batted .217 with 23 homers in 86 games for Double-A Wichita this season, playing first and third base. He was a second-round draft pick in 2024. Minter had a 2.35 ERA in 23 innings with 20 strikeouts and only two walks. He didn’t make his season debut until May 26, going more than a year between major league appearances. His 2025 season ended after 13 appearances when he injured his left lat muscle in his back and needed surgery. Minter signed a two-year, $22 million contract with the Mets in 2025. His 2024 season with the Braves also was cut short by a torn labrum in his left hip, but when he’s been healthy he’s been one of baseball’s most effective late-game lefties.
THE AAGPBL AND WPBL
SHARE A FOCUS ON MARKETING
Skirts were part of the uniform for AAGPBL players, and they were required to attend charm school. There was an emphasis on femininity and “ladylike” behavior, according to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The WPBL is all over social media, detailing the background of its play ers while looking to sell tickets and merchandise.
“We know this was true in the ‘40s and ’50s, that people tended then to follow the team because of the place, and then the players. Now they follow players, right? That’s what people do,” Heaphy said.
“So I think that issue of raising aware ness, both leagues recognize that.”
Arthur Meyerhoff, a Chicago adver tising executive, played a prominent role in the creation and operation of the AAGPBL.
“He was a marketing guy, and he knew that had to happen,” said Williams, a professor emeritus at Marshall University who is part of a WPBL
advisory board with Heaphy. “He
knew that there has to be an image, right?
“I mean, that’s typical of any kind of new endeavor. You have to put forth an image. And the image I hope people are seeing with the WPBL is that these are athletes. These are good athletes. They’re strong women. They’re talented and smart. And I think that’s the message.”
One of the biggest legacies of the AAGPBL is connected to what the women accomplished after their play ing careers. Several of the women went to graduate school and earned advanced degrees. They took on prominent jobs while crediting the league for opening their eyes as to what was possible.
The 49ers are bringing back former All-Pro Deebo Samuel for a second stint after start ing receiver Ricky Pearsall got sidelined by a knee injury. Samuel agreed on Thurs day to return to the 49ers on a one-year contract worth up to $7 million. Samuel spent his first six seasons with the 49ers after being drafted in the second round in 2019, helping the team reach the Super Bowl twice and earning All-Pro honors in 2021 when he had 1,770 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. Samuel was traded to the Commanders in 2025 for a fifth-round draft pick and had 72 catches for 727 yards and five TDs for the Command ers last season. He became a free agent in March and now will join the Niners to provide reinforcement with Pearsall out. Samuel has 406 career catches for 5,519 yards and 27 touchdowns and has been one of the most dynamic players after the catch in the NFL. His average of 8.7 yards after the catch on receptions rank first among all receivers with at least 100 catches since 2019. He also has rushed for 1,218 yards and 21 TDs in 97 career games. The move comes a day after the 49ers announced that Pearsall was sidelined with a knee injury that could require surgery. — Associated Press
Cignetti preps Hoosiers for title defense
By Steve Megargee | ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Indiana coach Curt Cignetti says he’s “stalking complacency” as he makes sure there’s no
championship hangover now that he’s orchestrated one
of the most remarkable turnarounds in college football history.
Cignetti took over a program that had gone 9-27 the three years before his arrival and led it to College Football Play off appearances in each of his first two seasons, including a 2025 national title.
He wants his program to maintain the same edge it carried while working its way up.
“We have a way of doing things,” Cignetti sad. “We’ve got guys that have been together, and all we do is win.”
Indiana’s stunning two-year run under Cignetti already has allowed the traditional Big Ten also-ran to shed its status as the Bowl Subdivision program with the most losses in history.
That dubious honor now belongs to conference rival Northwestern.
The Hoosiers obviously have bigger long-term goals than that.
They want to keep it going without Heisman Trophy-win ning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who went to the Las Vegas Raiders with the top pick in this year’s draft after his lone season at Indiana. He was one of a school-record eight players drafted.
“We need to make sure that we keep the same blueprint
as last year going into this year, and that includes main taining the same work ethic,” offensive tackle Carter Smith
Indiana did a remarkable job of restocking its roster by getting one of the nation’s top collections of transfer portal talent.
Indiana’s list of 18 transfer newcomers includes former TCU quarterback Josh Hoover and ex-Michigan State wide receiver Nick Marsh.
Marsh got an early indication of Cignetti’s no-nonsense approach, as the former Spartans player showed up for a spring practice in gold cleats and got criticized by his new coach. Cignetti has since praised the work habits of Marsh, who caught 100 passes for 1,311 yards and nine touchdowns over the last two seasons.
Indiana’s chances of earning a third straight playoff bid could depend on Hoover, who threw for 9,627 yards, 71 touchdowns and 33 interceptions over the last three years. He has rather large shoes to fill.
“What separated Fernando was when the game was on the line, those fourth-quarter wins, the last three minutes, four minutes, that’s when he played his best football,” Cignetti said.
Indiana could be on the verge of establishing itself as annual contenders as long as Cignetti sticks around, as the Hoosiers have followed up their portal success by making inroads in high school recruiting. Over the last two weeks, Indiana has gained verbal commitments from 2027 five-star wide receiver Monshun Sales and highly regarded 2028 quarterback Lukas Prock.
Cignetti is more focused now on making sure his current team is prepared for its title defense. Defensive lineman Tyrique Tucker was asked how it felt to enter a season as the hunted rather than the hunter.
“We prepare in a way we wouldn’t think we’re being hunted,” Tucker said. “We’re preparing like we’re preda tors and we’re hungry. We still have that chip on our shoul der, ultimately.”
Big Ten media may have given Tucker and his teammates some ammo in that regard. A Cleveland.com poll of report ers that serves as the unofficial Big Ten preseason media forecast had the defending national champions finishing third in the conference, behind Ohio State and Oregon.
Cignetti understands the challenge ahead after beat ing both Ohio State and Oregon on the way to the title last year. Cignetti, who worked as an assistant at Alabama from 2007-10, closed his news conference Thursday by explaining
why he believes the Big Ten is college football’s best confer ence.
“We don’t run a hype machine up here in the Midwest,” Cignetti said. “We believe everything is earned, not given. When we fall short, we say, ‘We fell short.’ We don’t cry a river, whine and complain. That’s why we’re the best.”
