阴天与变动的日程未能 dampen 鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节 Day 2 观众的热情
由英国流行星查莉·xcx和本地热门乐队 Smashing Pumpkins 领衔
周五，鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节在芝加哥湖滨进入状态，雨也随之而至。阴沉的云团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存。
在夜晚的压轴环节，Day 2 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”巡演后重返芝加哥）和 Bud Light 舞台上的本地乐队 Smashing Pumpkins（至少一名年轻的节日参与者将这场演出称为鲁拉帕卢萨的“家长之夜”）。
在周五早些时候，音乐日程处于波动之中，Paloma Morphy 和主舞台吸引力极强的 Lil Uzi Vert 退出，Slayyter 与 Balu Brigada 互换舞台，以及其他变动——截至发稿时，鲁拉帕卢萨主办方 C3 Presents 未回应《论坛报》关于更多信息的询问，但在社交媒体上，该音乐节将此归因于
$9.96B 预算依赖州政府资金
裁员与削减预算的命运现已 掌握在斯普林菲尔德 (伊利诺伊州首府) 手中
作者：Kate Armanini 芝加哥论坛报
在经历了一场分歧激烈的辩论后，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，并采纳了一项修正案，预计将获得 $150 million 的州政府资金，以扭转学校层面的削减计划。
该学区 2026-27 年度的预算最初包括裁减 760 名教师、削减部门经费，以及

通过实施性骚扰违反法律，报告还揭露了第三名女性受害者的存在，此人是另一位州议员的工作人员，她表示本顿去年在斯普林菲尔德 (伊利诺伊州首府) 一家酒吧中的“令人毛骨悚然”的行为让她感到不适。

在年中实施支出冻结，以填补 $730 million 的赤字。这一备受争议的修正案取消了支出冻结，并计划撤销至少部分已计划的裁员。
但额外的州政府资金是否能够落实尚不明确。
立法者已于 6 月通过了该州的预算（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者表示，他们尚未收到有更多资金可用的迹象。
芝加哥公立学校 CEO Macquline King 警告称，如果资金无法到位，该预算修正案可能会使学区在年中面临学校削减预算的风险。官员们表示，贷方也将“不看好”未确认的收入，这可能导致信用评级下调和借贷成本上升。
“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，她不会认为修正后的预算符合州法律要求的平衡状态。她指出，斯普林菲尔德 (伊利诺伊州首府) 为芝加哥公立学校分配新资金是没有先例的。

迈克尔·麦卡斯基 (Michael McCuskey) 将军的报告仍然没有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工作人员首次提出的指控的关键问题。韦尔奇在次年花费 $1.4 million，帮助来自西南郊区普莱恩菲尔德 (Plainfield) 的民主党人本顿赢得连任。直到 1 月，一名女性游说者在芝加哥河北区 (River North) 的一家酒吧偶遇本顿，
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他进行纪律处分。
这份七页的报告包含了麦卡斯基调查的结果，该调查是在韦尔奇办公室提交投诉后于 3 月 4 日开始的。报告概要介绍了 7 月由《芝加哥论坛报》首次报道的许多细节，该报在数月的调查中研究了本顿对待两名女性——他的前年轻女职员和该游说者——的行为。
但报告还叙述了第三名女性的投诉——一位立法区办公室主任，她表示本顿在 2025 年斯普林菲尔德 (伊利诺伊州首府) 的拉丁裔团结日庆祝活动后在一家酒吧骚扰了她。根据报告，当这位女性区办公室主任在场时，

从 Lil Uzi Vert 的缺席（而且恰恰是在他的生日当天）到天气问题，音乐节的参与者们似乎都表现得相当随和。
与 SLAYYTER 一起 绝不留情
快跑，别走，赶紧去看 Slayyyter。老实说，附近 54 Ultra 那些流畅且带有复古感的吉他声几乎足以让这次计划偏航，但在 Day 2 的细雨中，只有她那金色的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 的污垢流行乐女王，既是迷人的塞壬，又是重金属主唱。（Nine Inch Nails 与 Slayyyter 的合作什么时候能成？）她原定于 6:45 p.m. 在 Airbnb 舞台演出，但她的表演被提前了 4 小时，移至更大的 Bud Light 舞台。别担心，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。随着突破性作品《Wor$t Girl in America》的出现——凭借其性感的张扬以及“你得聪明才能成为一个自以为是的聪明人”的词作风格，她俘获了那些在逆境中奋力前行的人、网络模因女王以及手持香烟的 D.I.Y 规则破坏者的心。在三人乐队工业质感低音的伴奏下，她的麦克风全面开启。《Crank》、《Brittany Murphy》和《Beat Up Chanel$》等歌曲听起来正如你所期待的那样粗犷且凶猛，同时展现了她卓越的声乐技巧。随着新单曲《Brand New Chanel$》在音乐节上的首次亮相，她标志着新篇章的开始。并非更精致，而是更多。而粉丝们正为此而渴望。尽情躁起来吧。
为品牌排队
在场区内，企业利益方为格兰特公园带来的展示区数量超过了舞台。在《芝加哥论坛报》采访的许多音乐节参与者表示，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人们可以获取食物、商品并参加活动的结构物。Aperol 设立了一个 21 岁以上区域。一辆巴士分发免费的 CTA 商品。可口可乐在白金汉喷泉旁边设立了一个滚轴溜冰场。那里有两条队伍——一条是去溜冰的，另一条是去领取免费苏打水的——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，他既溜了冰也拿到了一瓶免费的可口可乐樱桃味，“我们要看的人表演时间比较晚。”
同样设立在喷泉附近的还有啤酒品牌 Kona Big Wave。该公司设有一个半管状赛道，参与者在那里观看职业滑板运动员表演技巧。
“大家都觉得，啊，这里有半管赛道，让我看看他们怎么滑，”滑板运动员、奥运选手 Mariah Duran 说道。

SUKI GLAM 登场
“欢迎来到 Lovelandapalooza，”一个空灵的声音说道，在接听一个响铃电话后，概述了本次表演的预期。被巨大的丘比特之箭击中的歌手 Suki Waterhouse 以带有新浪潮风格的《Supersad》开启了她略微提前的演出时段。
这位嘟嘟唇、留着羽毛刘海的多才艺者在前一天晚上还在 House of Blues 参加了一场 Lolla 后续演出，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》（通过加入现场号角部分进行了增强）、《My Fun》和《Good Looking》。仅在 2 年前，她还在今年被称为 Airbnb 舞台的林地中演出。在 Allianz 舞台上，她面对一个解剖学结构正确且带有迪斯科球的心脏，散发出十足的自信。为人之母的状态非常适合她这种特别且焕然一新的魅力流行乐风格。“我想你们准备好了，”她宣布道，“我想你们准备好坠入爱河了。”

摩天轮之首
参加音乐节的人们穿着闪亮亮片装、披着雨披或穿着雨衣，在蜿蜒的队伍中等待，希望能登上摩托罗拉 Razr 摩天轮，在发光的吊舱里旋转几圈。
摩天轮是今年音乐节的新增项目，以及格兰特公园北端附近的其他嘉年华游戏和体验项目。从顶端可以俯瞰密歇根湖、白金汉喷泉、城市天际线，以及所有在哥伦布大道上行走的音乐节参与者。
第一次参加鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的 Josh Van Aartsen 等了大约 45 分钟才登上摩天轮，他说这是他人生中第一次乘坐游乐设施，并且他觉得这并没有想象中那么可怕。
“很棒，我很喜欢，”Van Aartsen 在乘坐完后说道，“我喜欢从上面看到的城市景观，鲁拉帕卢萨的（参与者们）看起来就像小蚂蚁一样。”
“挺有趣的，非常酷，”Rosenbun 说道。
躲避阵雨
整个下午，鲁拉帕卢萨的参与者们不时遭遇轻微阵雨。
在前往舞曲流行艺人 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膜以防雨。站在其中一个沙发旁的 Melissa Rodriguez，31 岁，表示她并不介意这场雨。Rodriguez 来自亚利桑那州，她说较凉爽的天气是一种很好的调节。
“说实话，感觉就像在度假，”她说，“有时我们来这里的时候，这里和亚利桑那州一样热。”
甜点车抵达
在鲁拉帕卢萨的“甜点岛”区域，参加音乐节的人们有许多选择来满足他们的甜食欲望，包括西班牙油条、意式冰淇淋、冰淇淋和巧克力裹草莓等美食。
Eduardo Howell，21 岁，一名首次参加鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的观众，走向了一个漏斗蛋糕圣代，其特点是撒有糖粉，上面放了一勺香草冰淇淋，并淋有草莓糖浆。
“我想吃漏斗蛋糕，而且从昨天起我就一直想吃冰淇淋。所以我买了这个，把两者结合在一起，”Howell 说道，并补充说这总共花了他 $20。“这比（单独买）漏斗蛋糕贵了 $5，所以我觉得这样也值得。”

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，这位教宗宣布他希望“很快”，或至少在“几年内”进行他首次对美国的教宗访问。
在周三晚上播出的一段 NBC 采访中，拥有美国公民身份的利奥还表示，尽管“成为首位美国教宗具有重大意义”，但他更认为自己是“恰好是美国人的教宗”。
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“巧合地”一直在查看“未来几年”的日历。
“还没有最终定论，”他说，“但我确实希望很快能去那里。”
利奥 1955 年出生于芝加哥，是首位来自美国的教宗，他将此转化为一种优势，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……
一名男子因在芝加哥将女友杀害并将其尸体放入行李袋中而被判处 50 年监禁
作者：Madeline Buckley 芝加哥论坛报
布里塔尼·巴塔利亚曾与祖母一起在花园劳作，她在后院的菜地里救回了一袋像杂草一样生长着的野洋葱，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，巴塔利亚对生命如此尊重，以至于这位 33 岁的女性甚至不愿除掉一株杂草。
然而，巴塔利亚本人却死于一场暴力袭击。2023 年 6 月 5 日，警方在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·布罗斯纳汉在巴塔利亚被杀案中，判处其男友杰内西斯·席尔瓦 50 年监禁。
“这起案件是一起家庭暴力案件，家庭暴力一直是且将继续成为我们社会的祸害，”助理州检察官约瑟夫·卡尔森在辩论中表示，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稳重且真诚的朋友，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酒后驾驶罪，并对 2023 年发生在橡树林的的一起车祸承担责任。该车祸导致来自伯班克的 3 岁儿童马修·杜申科死亡。
库克县法官玛格丽特·奥加雷克根据检察官与萨顿律师之间达成的认罪协议，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特朗普政府采取打击行动的情况下支持移民后，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，自利奥于2025年5月就任教皇以来，特朗普尚未访问梵蒂冈。
（她）曾请一周假，与正处于人生重大转折期搬家的表亲一起从洛杉矶开车前往芝加哥。据亲友称，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她不在身边的提醒。
Battaglia的家人说，她曾希望有一天能结婚并拥有孩子。相反，她的表亲在结婚时，由于Battaglia未能作为伴娘站在身边，便将她的照片系在了自己的婚礼花束上。
“我只想问为什么，Genesis？”她的母亲苏·Battaglia在证人席上哽咽着流泪说道。“她那么爱你，一直谈论你。而你却必须杀了她？”
一名陪审团在三月份判定Silva在杀害Battaglia案中犯有一级谋杀罪。Battaglia失踪了数日，她的家人越来越担心，并联系Silva询问她的下落。
然而，Silva的公设辩护人辩称，Silva当时正处于心理健康危机中，他在公寓里发现Battaglia死亡后试图隐瞒这起凶杀案，因为他认为没有人会相信他没有做这件事。
在他被量刑时，（他）对自己的行为给Dushenko家庭带来的伤害表示悲痛和遗憾。
“如果可以，我会改变整个局面，”萨顿说。“他们不该承受这些。我只祈祷他们能够安息……祈祷上帝用双臂拥抱他们的家人。”
这起车祸发生在2023年7月的橡树林市（Oak Lawn）第95街和Ridgeland大道。检察官表示，萨顿当时的行驶速度超过70英里 / 小时，血液酒精含量为0.196%，超过法定限值的两倍，随后他撞上了Dushenko一家的车侧。
检察官表示。
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、短信或其他方式直接与教皇交谈。教皇访问美国通常会涉及教皇与总统的会面。

在量刑听证会上，Silva就隐瞒她的死亡向家属道歉，但坚称自己在杀害她一事上是清白的。
“我的恐惧和目光短浅导致我做出了可怕的选择，”Silva说。“我没有像个男人一样承担责任，而是恐慌了。”
在橡树林市的倡导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·Dushenko形容他“充满快乐”，说他喜欢玩恐龙，且非常爱他的哥哥。
检察官表示，马修的父亲谢尔希·Dushenko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。
举行了一场祈祷仪式，男高音安德烈·波切利也出席了此次在卡斯特尔甘多尔福教皇别墅举行的活动。这座城市位于罗马郊外，几个世纪以来一直是教皇的夏季住所。在当晚，利奥简短地接受了NBC夜间新闻和Noticias Telemundo记者的采访。
教皇表示，他“深爱美国”。
他的公设辩护人瑞安·卡尔森（Ryan Carlsen）请求布罗斯纳汉（Brosnahan）法官判处最低 20 年刑期，理由是西尔瓦（Silva）童年生活艰辛，曾多次经历无家可归。卡尔森阅读了西尔瓦的朋友和家人的陈述，他们呼吁对该案进行重新审查，并将他描述为一名脾气温和、以化解冲突局面著称的朋友。
“从幼年直到今天，西尔瓦先生一直过着复杂且艰苦的生活，”卡尔森说道。
然而，布罗斯纳汉法官判处的刑期接近最高限额，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。根据其室友在庭审中的证词，当时她与室友在一家 Home Depot 商店，随后收到西尔瓦的一系列电话和短信，促使她前往见他。
由于巴塔利亚当晚未回家，室友通知了她的家人并报警。
三天时间里，家人愈发担忧，直到警方搜查西尔瓦位于洛根广场（Logan Square）的公寓并有了恐怖的发现。他们找到了那个行李袋以及清洁用品。
萨顿（Sutton）的律师谢拉·诺里斯（Cierra Norris）表示，她与当事人进行了多次交谈，而萨顿在交谈中多次崩溃痛哭。
“我知道这几乎不能提供任何慰藉，”诺里斯说。“我们每次交谈到最后，他都会因为对此感到懊悔而崩溃，而他也理应如此。”
检察官表示，萨顿有较长的犯罪记录，包括 2017, 年的一项酒驾定罪；且在发生车祸时，他因持有被吊销的驾照而面临逮捕令。
奥加雷克（Ogarek）表示，萨顿的犯罪记录以及此前类似案件的数量是本案的加重情节，同时也有必要震慑他人的类似行为。另一方面，她表示萨顿在监禁期间一直努力改善自己。
“在羁押期间，你做了很多工作，试图解决那些困扰你的心魔——正是这些心魔将你带到了那个时刻，在那个日期，夺走了那个家庭的成员，”奥加雷克说道。
以及为了它的原则。“美国的立足之本，”他说，“是自由感、机会感，以及几代以来邀请全世界的人成为美国一部分的包容感。”
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”，但他意识到他的使命具有更广泛的维度，即“作为一座普世教会的牧师，拥有一个在全世界面前发声的机会”，他在接受 NBC 采访时如此说道。
在接受 Telemundo 采访时，利奥被要求给移民们一段话。
“保持希望，”他说。“当然，要寻求以有序的方式生活。”
历史上只有一位教宗曾访问芝加哥：1979 年，教宗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 至 1.5 百万名参加者。
负责芝加哥总教区的枢机主教布莱斯·库皮奇（Cardinal Blaise Cupich）去年表示，他不会向新任教宗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，“可以相信我一定会为芝加哥游说”。
“届时我会申请将芝加哥列入他的行程，”库皮奇在教宗就任后不久说道。
芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）和州长 JB 普利兹克（JB Pritzker）都向教宗发出了邀请，希望他回到这座城市。约翰逊的邀请是在 4 月的一次教宗接见期间发出的。
“我相信他绝对感激这次热情的交流和邀请，我们期待在芝加哥主持弥撒，”市长在当时表示。
几个月前，利奥最喜欢的棒球队——白袜队，给了他一次机会，让他可以在他选择的一场比赛中投出开球。球队将在 8 月 11 日庆祝其著名的球迷，并向在场人员分发白袜队主题的祭祀帽（通俗地说就是“教皇帽”）。
检察官表示，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，转身面对席尔瓦。
她告诉席尔瓦，巴塔利亚爱他，并且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带回家，尽管她的生母迪顿也参与了她的生活。
她在做陈述时流泪，而她的丈夫则站在证人席旁陪伴她。
“她是我们家的璀璨之星，”巴塔利亚说道。
随后是为期两年的强制假释期。萨顿将获得他已经入狱的三年多时间的抵减。
“萨顿先生，你今天对本案表达了明确的悔意，”奥加雷克说道，“祝你好运。”
在判决下达且萨顿离场后，法庭内陷入了长时间的沉默。

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军的预期较低。“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。
“但随着选举的前景笼罩在他的头上，加上几位内阁部长和反对党领导人已经建议不要推进该协议，我认为他明白，这样做可能会破坏他再次当选的机会，”他补充道。

在吧台前，本顿倾身靠近她，并将手放在她的背上。他还抱怨县政府官员如何不喜欢他。报告称，由于本顿在触摸她背部的同时继续倾身靠近，导致她感到“不安”，于是她退后避开，并表示本顿“令人毛骨悚然”。报告将该区办公室主任的投诉列为“成立”。
麦考斯基在报告中写道，他在 5 月 29 日就涉及这三名女性的事件询问了本顿。麦考斯基写道，本顿否认“曾说过或做过任何具有性性质的事情”，或他“曾试图对任何人进行性骚扰”，并补充在游说者的案例中，“我不会勾引游说者”。但麦考斯基表示，他认为本顿在否认时的说法“缺乏可信度”。
麦考斯基写道，他与三名受害者分别进行了交谈，报告中未列出她们的姓名。《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，《芝加哥论坛报》不对其身份公开。
麦考斯基裁定涉及游说者和区办公室主任的 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 年的指控做出该裁定。但他写道，他在报告中加入了关于前本顿职员的情况，以证明在“哈里·本顿担任议会成员的整个职业生涯期间，存在性骚扰的模式和惯例”。
在随报告一同发布的提交给立法监察长办公室的补充回复中，前本顿职员写道，她曾希望在政府中建立自己的事业，但“看到我钦佩的领导者将个人欲望置于工作之上”后打消了念头。
“性骚扰不是一次判断失误。它不是可以用地毯掩盖掉的事情。它是权力的滥用，是对选民对该职位所寄予信任的滥用，”这位前职员写道。“维持我们州政府运转的员工，其中许多是满怀服务热情而来的年轻人，他们理应在没有恐惧的环境下工作。而且每个观察着的年轻人都会从我们领导者的所作所为而非所言中所学习。这些教训的影响远超一个办公室和一个新闻周期。”
在报告中，麦考斯基回忆起 2022 年 11 月，他与当时担任立法伦理委员会主席的来自罗克福德的民主党州众议员莫里斯·韦斯特一起参加了一场会议，向新当选的立法者讲解伦理和性骚扰问题。麦考斯基写道，参加者中就有本顿。
“想到 LIG（立法监察长）和立法伦理委员会主席向一名新任议会成员讲解伦理和性骚扰，而该成员在不久之后就开始对其 2023 年在区办公室雇佣的第一名女性实施一套性骚扰的模式和惯例，这简直令人愤慨，”麦考斯基写道。
“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 对其居民及其邻国而言是安全的，”他写道。
美联社获得并核实的一份协议副本显示，由 哈马斯 运行的警察所持有的一切武器，将在美国支持的巴勒斯坦技术委员会（即名为“加沙管理国家委员会”的组织）抵达该飞地后，移交给该委员会。目前尚不清楚这将在何时

据《芝加哥论坛报》报道，随后在几周后又增加了一份名单。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专员决定在一名区级雇员于 2023 年 6 月辞职后，再就这些指控与本顿进行对质，因为该雇员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，当时他正试图遏制对其处理本顿事件方式的批评。在这些会议中，韦尔奇坚称是前本顿员工要求其办公室在她离职前不要盘问本顿。该员工告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，她不记得告诉过韦尔奇的办公室那样做。
该前本顿员工告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，她当时拒绝了韦尔奇办公室关于向立法监察长办公室提交投诉的建议，因为她不想成为被排斥的人，从而危及未来在政治和政府部门工作的机会。相反，她认为此事可以在内部处理。
尽管如此，《芝加哥论坛报》获取的电子邮件显示，她向韦尔奇的办公室坚决表示，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》，在她投诉后并未采取任何纪律处分行动。
韦尔奇在的一份声明中坚称，该报告“再次证明了人们对其办公室负责任地采取行动的信心——遵循法律指导，尊重举报者的意愿，并在进一步信息证实存在失当行为模式后采取了果断行动”。
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员工指控后是否曾与本顿交谈。
该报告也没有涉及韦尔奇与前本顿员工（该员工此前曾在议长办公室实习）在社交媒体上的沟通。《芝加哥论坛报》的调查显示，韦尔奇与她的互动包括在她的照片下回复“爱心眼”表情符号，以及通过 Signal 消息应用请求在一家郊区餐厅的酒吧区域见面，尽管她表示从未在那里与韦尔奇见面。
该员工告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，韦尔奇的表情符号回复让她感到“不舒服”。在与民主党党团的会议上，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们见面。
在去年冬天一名说客与本顿接触后，韦尔奇在 2 月下旬将该立法者从党团和委员会任务中除名，并于 3 月向立法监察长办公室提交了投诉。在议长办公室于 7 月 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 年该立法席位的竞选连任活动。民主党已选择杰西卡·迪克森·海特曼（Jessica Dixon Heitman）填补本顿任期的剩余时间，并作为该党提名人出现在 11 月的选票上。
韦尔奇处理前本顿员工投诉的方式遭到了议长 78 成员党团中 46 名女性中的部分人员的批评。众议院民主党女性党团称韦尔奇的处理方式“不足”，其他女性团体也对其领导能力提出了质疑。
在巴勒斯坦委员会抵达及国际部队部署后，将开始一项对重型武器、军事生产地点和隧道进行除役和存储的程序。根据协议，该程序将与以色列的分阶段撤军挂钩。
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稀少。该领土 2 million 巴勒斯坦人中的大多数处于另一部分地区，那里有数十万人生活在肮脏的帐篷营地和被摧毁的社区中。
一名以色列官员在周四的一份声明中表示，将不会有以色列
与此同时，在由 22 人组成的众议院黑人党团中，有些人一直对韦尔奇持有保护态度，他是该州首位黑人众议院议长。
韦尔奇在 2021 年接任议长一职，部分原因在于 2017-18 年期间，众议院民主党女性议员针对时任资深议长迈克尔·马迪根在处理 #MeToo 丑闻中的表现发起了一场起义，尽管韦尔奇本人在涉及女性方面也有一段充满争议的过去。马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 普利兹克作为该州民主党的实际负责人，于 7 月 22 日要求韦尔奇就其如何处理本顿事件向公众坦诚交代。
一名知情人士表示，以色列全程参与其中，但并非该协议的签署方；该协议是在哈马斯与几个协助谈判并担保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，美国及和平委员会官员在遵守相关指南的前提下，向记者匿名地描述了该协议。
普利兹克表示，（要求韦尔奇）采取行动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。
自从《芝加哥论坛报》披露其办公室已知晓追溯至 2023 年针对本顿的性骚扰投诉以来，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》发布了笼统的声明，并未正面回答详细问题。
虽然韦尔奇在立法监察长调查结果公布后发表的声明中坚称其办公室妥善处理了本顿的骚扰指控，但他表示：“这份报告必须成为具有意义的结构性变革的催化剂。”
他说道：“如果我们的政策、法律或职场实践中存在漏洞，那么填补这些漏洞就是我们的职责。这项工作已经开始。我的办公室将与众议院所有成员合作，探讨建立一个中心化的人力资源办公室，以协助所有作为雇主的成员并支持他们的选区办公室员工，并且我们将引入外部专家来审查此案并提出进一步建议。”
芝加哥的民主党州众议员、立法伦理委员会成员凯莉·卡西迪谴责了韦尔奇处理本顿骚扰问题的方式，该问题始于本顿的前工作人员。
卡西迪在声明中表示：“如果议长在 2023 年进行了有效的干预，他可能能够防止另外两名女性受害，她们分别在 2025 年 5 月和 2026 年 1 月遭到骚扰。相反，在 2024 年为了让本顿连任其席位，共花费了 $1.4。”
她补充道：“议长必须表现出修复其造成的伤害以及纠正我们共同运作的这个崩坏系统的真诚愿望。到目前为止，他的回应并没有体现这种精神。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缺陷。这令人失望。”
据官员称，虽然预计加沙的警力将上交武器，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该部分协议中。
一名和平委员会官员表示，相反，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随后的过程中进行，该过程可能需要 200 到 350 天。美联社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，试图与普利兹克一同登台时表现出敌意。“由于该主张已超过诉讼时效，且与性骚扰无关，我认为该主张缺乏依据，”麦库斯基写道。
另一项缺乏依据的主张涉及本顿与一名伊利诺伊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。麦库斯key称其“纯属政治争论，而非性骚扰”。
麦库斯基将第三项主张作为“传闻”予以驳回——该主张称本顿的手机里有女性“处于不同程度脱衣状态”的照片，而他声称与这些人有浪漫关系。
“我采访过的议会每一位女性成员都表示，她们听说过本顿手机里的照片，但无法指认出任何见过这些照片的人，”麦库斯基写道。“由于没有人提供可能掌握相关信息的说客名单，我对该主张的调查在仅有传闻的情况下结束了。因此，该主张被驳回，认定为缺乏依据。”
但在周五随报告一同发布的另一份回应中，该说客表示麦库斯基的报告中存在“必须解决的” “不准确之处”。她表示，这可能是由于麦库斯基没有记录与她的访谈，或没有做“同步笔记”。
该说客不同意立法监察长将关于本顿展示手机中声称与其发生过性关系的女性照片的投诉判定为“缺乏依据”。该说客表示，她曾告诉麦库斯基她本人就曾遇到这种情况，她不明白他为什么“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，本顿从未在与这位普兰菲尔德民主党人的接触过程中对她说“你想离开这里去寻找一些乐趣吗”，尽管麦库斯基在报告中详细描述了本顿在接触中进行了淫秽交谈。
一名参与此过程的地区官员表示，哈马斯和其他团体同意在巴勒斯坦技术委员会的监督下，在加沙内部“收集并储存”武器，且武器不会移交给以色列或非巴勒斯坦方。这些要求匿名说话的官员表示，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枪支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咨询了以色列的意见。该官员表示，以色列被要求做的事情并不超过其在 10 月协议中所承诺的内容。
（报告中称）“我的认定总结报告中没有不准确之处”。在他的主报告中，他将自己的工作称为一次“广泛调查”。
“我的结论是，哈里·本顿议员在 2025 年和 2026 年期间的行为不当，已上升到违反州法的性骚扰程度，”麦库斯基写道。
“这些违规行为仅为轻罪，且在某些人看来可能是轻微犯罪，这一事实并不意味着它们应该被忽视，”他写道。“人们不应被仅仅视为承受他人言语快感或笑话的客体。本顿议员在其短暂的立法生涯中至少接受了三次性骚扰培训，却无视了关于禁言禁行的常识性示例。”
在麦库斯基完成报告时，本顿尚未辞职，但已被韦尔奇边缘化。为了惩戒本顿，麦库斯基建议韦尔奇永久将本顿从民主党党团、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。
但麦库斯基在信中写道，他反对由全众议院进行开除程序，称这将“耗时冗长，且需要立法机关召开特别会议”。韦尔奇对此表示反对，称在收到报告后，他已告知本顿要么辞职，要么面临被开除。本顿在两天后辞职。
麦库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此进行了纠正，指出选出的公职人员及工作人员不受该法律管辖。然而，本顿违反了《州官员及雇员道德法》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跨党派小组，负责监督立法监察员的工作——公开麦库斯基的调查结果。该委员会在7月23日一致投票决定公布该报告，但需等待法律要求的投诉人及本顿的补充陈述。在周四截止日期过后，委员会公布了该报告。
本顿方面未做出回应。
在本顿前任职员的回应中，她写道，正式公布关于本顿行为的报告提供了一个反思和改变的机会。
“此时此刻并非让一个政党与另一个政党对立的机会；这类事情我们已经见得够多了。我的希望是，这次经历，我的经历，能引导出更重要的事情：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，并使其成为一个专注于重要工作的场所，”她写道。
“担任选出的公职人员是一项特权，而非一项权利。伴随这种特权而来的应该是审查，而且理应如此。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，现在就是你们的时刻，”她继续写道。“要求你们的同事承担责任。保护为你工作的人。为后来者铺路。让这个州在你们离开时比你们接手时变得更好，为了在我们之后的后代。”

从核心来看，芝加哥是一座音乐之城，其传承远不止于，比如，芝加哥交响乐团的声誉。许多音乐历史学家将这座城市视为福音音乐以及蓝调和爵士乐独特形式的发源地，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根据地。但这种丰富的遗产从未完全演变到涵盖摇滚乐，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 年那个在文化上具有超越意义的夏天，芝加哥在短时间内成为了摇滚世界的中心，而当时的摇滚世界正从“声音之墙” (Wall of Sound) 和“英国入侵” (British Invasion) 向硬摇滚和迷幻摇滚过渡。那是一个时间片段，当时音乐的普及、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，将聚光灯投向了这座城市。
那个夏天的音乐起承转合是由海滩男孩 (The Beach Boys) 的演出定义的：春末的专辑《宠物之声》(Pet Sounds) 和初秋的单曲《好感》(Good Vibrations)。随着天气转暖，滚石乐队 (The Rolling Stones) 的《把它涂成黑色》(Paint It Black) 获得了巨大成功。猴子乐队 (The Monkees) 发布了他们的突破性单曲《开往克拉克斯维尔的最后一班车》(Last Train to Clarksville)。保罗·里维尔与突袭者乐队 (Paul Revere and the Raiders) 的《饥饿》(Hungry) 登上了排行榜榜首。但那个夏天的赞歌是 Lovin' Spoonful 乐队的《城市之夏》(Summer in the City)。这首歌对夏天白天的炎热、潮湿和拥挤，以及夏夜的凉爽、黑暗和自由的致敬，在购买音乐的公众中引起了情感共鸣。
在这样的背景下，摇滚世界最顶尖的乐队们在夏天现身芝加哥举行演唱会。 The Velvet
交易截止日
保罗·沙利文在其 7月 28日 的专栏文章《把握时刻》中认为，白袜队在交易截止日之前绝对必须交易一名顶尖的先发投手。他似乎认为这将给白袜队今年进入世界大赛的机会。用他自己的话来说：“如果（杰瑞）赖恩斯多夫仍然认为自己‘有义务为球迷做正确的事’，那么无论代价如何，他别无选择，必须增加一名顶尖先发投手。”
沙利文所倡导的是，白袜队应该用大部分年轻天才去交换一名顶尖的先发投手，即使该球员只是两个月的租借球员，以此在今年保持竞争力。这正是总经理肯尼·威廉姆斯以及早年的比尔·维克所采取的陈旧策略。例如，在 2016 年，威廉姆斯认为白袜队距离竞争冠军仅差一名先发投手，于是他将费尔南多·塔蒂斯-小将和一名小联盟球员交易到圣迭戈教团以换取詹姆斯·希尔兹。这次交易结果如何？对教团队来说很不错。塔蒂斯将球击飞，而希尔兹则给了许多击球手同样的机会。
在主张其观点时，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，他并不代表我。我希望白袜队在交易截止日前什么都不做。赖恩斯多夫应该保留所有这些年轻天才，让球队在这些球员成熟的过程中逐渐演变成一支竞争者，在合理的时候进行交易或签下自由球员，但不是现在。我相信大多数白袜队球迷如果思考过，会希望他们的球队在未来的许多年里都具有竞争力，而不仅仅是 2026. 年。如果他们孤注一掷，用年轻天才去换取令人质疑的短期利益，这种情况将不会发生。 —— 丹尼斯·斯威尼，芝加哥
学生运动员
我从未想过我会这么说，但在某件事上我完全同意参议员泰德·克鲁斯的观点。即美国参议院商业、科学和交通委员会主席通过《保护大学体育法》来整顿顶尖大学体育的立场。NCAA 成员学校已经从利用学生运动员的一个极端，走向了将主要大学体育职业化的另一个极端——而这是以那些不产生收入的大学体育运动为代价的。必须有一种补偿学生运动员的方法（尽管没有什么能阻止赞助人 100 美元 的私下握手），在这种体制下，“学生运动员”这个词至少不再是一个笑话。 —— 加里·海恩斯，威尔梅特
手机禁令
如果法律文本几乎禁止了所有执行手段，那么伊利诺伊州学校禁手机的目的是什么？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介入，以及停学或开除作为执行工具”（见 7月 29日 《普利兹克签署公立及特许学校手机禁令》）。那些最有可能无视法律或学校规则的学生很快就会意识到，将不会有严厉的……

地下音乐浪潮在 6 月出现。滚石乐队、海滩男孩和戴夫·克拉克五人组都在 7 月在旧麦考密克广场的阿里·克劳恩剧院举行了演出。披头士乐队在国际体育馆举行了两场 8月 12日 的演出，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、吉米·佩奇和码头鸟乐队于 8月 6日 在公民歌剧院演出。
这个夏天的关注点还落在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》名列前茅。来自芒特普罗斯佩克特 (Mount Prospect) 的 The Shadows of Knight 在春季凭借《Gloria (G-L-O-R-I-A)》获得成功。到六月，出生于伯温 (Berwyn) 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·特朗普总统在当选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，可验证的来源报告称：

咖啡：自 2025 年初以来上涨了近 35%

在那年晚些时候攀升至第 1 位。来自欣斯代尔 (Hinsdale) 的 Cryan' Shames 乐队凭借《Sugar and Spice》走红。而特里·卡斯 (Terry Kath)、丹尼·塞拉芬 (Danny Seraphine)、沃尔特·帕拉扎德 (Walt Parazaider) 和李·劳根 (Lee Loughnane) 之间通过车库乐队和德保拉大学 (DePaul) 建立的联系，很快引导他们组成了最初名为“芝加哥交通管理局” (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 塑造的，这两家电台在广播调频盘上仅相隔几格。他们口袋大小的每周报告——“银元调查” (Silver Dollar Survey) 和“声音 10 调查” (Sound 10 Survey)——让歌迷们能够及时了解最新的热门唱片。凭借演唱会赞助、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。早晨有克拉克·韦伯 (Clark Weber)，年轻的拉里·卢杰克 (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，他们在亚特·罗伯茨 (Art Roberts) 的节目里在放我们的歌。”

给予空间
我怀着兴趣阅读了最近的读者来信——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的交通流与汽车及卡车分开的路径，来改善我们的社区。我同样是一名土木工程师，也是一名热衷于骑行的爱好者，对于失去生命的情况过于熟悉。
对许多人来说，尤其是在美国，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围墙。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离这些交通模式并提高人们安全性的来信。这类工作确实保护了我的同行。但年龄和经验让我对这个话题有了更多反思，此外还有一本关于该话题的优秀书籍，由汤姆·范德比尔特 (Tom Vanderbilt) 所著，名为《交通：我们为何这样驾驶以及它揭示了我们的什么》。我数英里的骑行经历让我敏锐地意识到，我们越是将自己包裹在茧中，将自己束缚在……
但时代在变，音乐通常也随之改变。 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感。但它们无法阻止风暴最终的到来。 1966 年，有超过 380,000 名年轻人被征入军队，超过 6,000 名美国服役人员在越南行动中丧生。征兵人数和伤亡人数在 1967 年都会激增。 1966 年 7 月该市西区激烈的民权抗议活动，将被后世称为 1967 年“漫长炎热之夏”的事件远远超越。因此，摇滚乐的信息变得更加激进，这是可以理解的。
然而 60 年后，芝加哥已根深蒂固地成为了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所有流派以及其他形式的音乐。在最近的一项调查中，Seatpick.com 将芝加哥评为全球最适合音乐爱好者的第三大城市。看来， 1966 年夏天播下的摇滚乐种子确实结出了丰硕的果实。
由于这仿佛是一个无尽的夏天，那个时代的伟大巨星们继续享有人气。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) 依然在他们忙碌的 2026 年巡演日程中率领海滩男孩乐队 (The Beach Boys)。滚石乐队 (The Rolling Stones) 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 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) 依然活跃在公众视野中。

我们的屏幕占据的时间越多，我们对真正重要的事情就越不关注，我们变得越不耐烦，情况就变得越糟。实话说，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，完工所需的时间以及施工期间的混乱，几乎肯定会导致更多伤亡。在等待这一切发生时，我请求所有处于公共道路上的人记住这四个字，这将帮助我们避免更多悲剧——宽容以待，留出空间 (have grace, give space)。

年中，而且即便额外资金获得批准，在下一个财政年度之前也不会到位。
“如果我们依赖这笔收入而它最终未能到账，那将是一场灾难，”佐科（Zoko）说道。
芝加哥教师工会以及与该工会结盟的董事会成员则反驳称，假设这笔新资金到位将迫使州政府领导层面对多年来对芝加哥公立学校资金投入不足的后果，而不是要求学区自行承担更深层的课堂削减。根据州政府自身的“基于证据的资金”方案（Evidence-Based Funding formula）——该方案旨在根据学生的实际需求向各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 (伊利诺伊州首府) 欠下的数百万美元资金的情况下尝试平衡预算，对吧？”芝加哥教师工会主席斯泰西·戴维斯·盖茨（Stacy Davis Gates）在投票前表示。“解决这个问题吧，普里兹克（JB Pritzker）州长。我们知道您能办到。”
下议院议长埃马纽尔·“克里斯”·韦尔奇（Emanuel “Chris” Welch）周三向芝加哥教师工会成员暗示，他将致力于通过一项补充资金法案——但他并未详述将如何操作，也未说明州政府将从何处筹集资金。此类立法将需要伊利诺伊州议会两院的绝对多数通过。
该预算修正案以 11-7 的投票结果获得通过，要求通过州的“基于证据的资金”方案追加 $100 million，并从支持交通和特殊教育等项目的强制性拨款中再追加 $50 million。
在修正案获得批准后，董事会以同样的 11-7 票数通过了整体支出计划。代表西南区 7B 选区的当选董事会成员叶塞尼娅·洛佩兹（Yesenia López）投了弃权票。
数名由芝加哥教师工会支持的董事会成员（他们占据多数席位并提出了该修正案）认为，在斯普林菲尔德 (伊利诺伊州首府) 争取额外资金的势头正在增强，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 名立法者本周也告知董事会，他们将“尽快要求进行补充拨款”。
“我们被要求将刚刚出台的近 2,000 名员工削减方案‘固化’并使其永久化，”代表西区 5B 选区的董事会成员米希拉·布莱斯（Michilla Blaise）说。“而在之前，我们一直在说：‘我们不希望削减课堂经费，不希望削减课堂经费，不希望削减课堂经费’。”
但几名对预算投反对票的董事会成员认为，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，甚至可能导致裁员人数翻倍。
“我们的首席财务官已经明确表示：如果那笔钱没到账……我们就必须动用学校预算，”代表北区 4A 选区的当选董事会成员艾伦·罗森菲尔德（Ellen Rosenfeld）说道。“届时将出现年中削减。下学年年中我依然在这个岗位上，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) 在本周早些时候将税收增量融资区（TIF）的预计收入提高至 $285 million，以避免五天的无薪休假。在去年收到创纪录的 $576 million TIF 盈余资金后，该学区称这一估算为“保守的”。
一些由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“有点过于轻率”，尽管他没有明确表示支持该修正案。
“仅仅线性地看待数据，查看历史情况，完全忽略了当前政治现实的真实情况，”哈登说道。
学区官员指出，每当城市宣布盈余时，芝加哥公立学校 (CPS) 每年都会收到 TIF 资金，并反复强调其预测是以数据为基础的。
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一份路线图，这样我们就不用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手和巴士助理。
“未保障的州收入无法支付一名 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) 下定决心，这个委员会也不应该等待。”
由于数十亿美元的长期债务、维修积压严重的陈旧建筑、成本上升以及联邦疫情救援援助的丧失，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，芝加哥公立学校 (CPS) 在上一个财政年度结束时的现金为负 $642 million，低于 2025 财政年度末的负 $339 million。
学区的现金状况随收入时间而经常波动，但由于库克县 (Cook County) 房产税的反复延迟，这一问题有所恶化。为了弥补缺口，芝加哥公立学校 (CPS) 越来越多地依赖于被称为税收预期票据 (TANs) 的短期贷款。
学区领导者表示，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。但他们表示，目前仍然没有保证，因为预算中未经确认的州收入可能会令贷方望而却步。

燃料价格上涨，战斗导致供应受限
作者：Cathy Bussewitz 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
纽约 —— 美国油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运输陷入停滞，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 月的大部分时间内从约 $70 飙升至每桶 $100 以上，一度达到 $126。
石油公司在 4 月初至 6 月底之间积累的资金，今年可能会受到额外的审查。

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，工人们身穿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。
工匠们接二连三地将熔融金属倒入由钢带固定、形状特殊的模具中，为意大利、德国和罗马尼亚的教堂打造 12 口钟。
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、瘟疫和经济挑战而生存至今。
如今，这家家族企业由约翰内斯 (Johannes) 和彼得·格拉斯迈尔 (Peter Grassmayr) 兄弟经营。在中世纪晚期的文艺复兴时期，欧洲有数百名钟制作者，而如今整个欧洲仅剩下少数几家。
格拉斯迈尔家族成功的秘诀是：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”，并最终导致了孩子们的死亡。
这些孩子在 2024 年 7 月至 2025 年 9 月的 14 个月期间相继去世。
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。其创始律师马修·伯格曼 (Matthew Bergman) 表示，本案中的孩子在类似诉讼被提起“很久之后”才去世，这一点“尤为显著”。
“尽管这些公司的高管们在说些陈词滥调，但这些平台仍在继续杀死孩子，”伯格曼说道。
该期间（价格）大幅上涨，增加了司机和航空乘客的成本。
埃克森美孚 (Exxon Mobil) 周五报告称，受益于创纪录的柴油产量，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) 的石油巨头营收为 1160.2 亿美元 billion，增长了 42%。总部位于休斯顿的雪佛龙 (Chevron) 利润几乎翻了四倍，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。
“全球有些群体正经历着一场‘非常美好’的危机，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 的化石燃料负责人帕特里克·加莱 (Patrick Galey) 说道。
“当你将其与数以亿计在滚动停电、电力限制、配给、排队等候食物，或化肥供应中断及其对粮价潜在影响中苦苦挣扎的人们相比时，我们认为这并不是全世界其他地区应该支付的合理代价。”
像埃克森和雪佛龙这样的能源公司并不决定美国原油的价格，该季度油价从每桶 $68 飙升至 $115。这是由供给和需求驱动的。
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，”提出该法案参议院版本的罗德岛州民主党参议员谢尔登·怀特豪斯 (Sheldon Whitehouse) 表示。
怀特豪斯的措施以及由加利福尼亚州美国众议员罗·康纳 (Ro Khanna) 提出的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。
“某些事情就像 400 年前一样。但我们进行了很多创新，”约翰内斯·格拉斯迈尔 (Johannes Grassmayr) 说道。
制作一个钟的生产周期需要三到四个月。过去，清洁新铸造的钟并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。
格拉斯迈尔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。
即使采用现代技术，设计和制作大钟模具的过程仍可能长达六个月。
“重点是，你需要计算、成型，然后将钟作为一件乐器铸造出来，”约翰内斯说。他补充道，制作钟的最大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，液态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，只能使用高质量的粘土。
美国普通汽油的平均每加仑价格在袭击伊朗之前低于 $3，而周五达到了 $4.11，比去年同期高出约 $1。
被使用并随后被封装在旨在承受极端压力的钢套中。
但让 Grassmayr 感到担忧的不仅仅是生产上的困难。现代铸钟行业正面临压力，因为建造的教堂数量在减少，改变了对钟的需求。乌克兰战争导致的能源成本上升也毫无帮助，且自 2020 年疫情以来，劳动力成本上升了 30%。
但一座新铸造钟的主要成本因素仍然是原材料价格。最好的钟需要高质量的青铜，其成分为 80 份铜和 20 份锡。Johannes 表示，几年前青铜的价格为每公斤 $9.23，而如今则为 $26.17。
“这就是为什么我甚至无法预测一年后一座钟的价格。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，这些钟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。我尤其高兴的是，过去几十年的创新极大地帮助使钟变得更加精美和卓越。”

该起诉指称，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，我们建立了服务和政策，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功能。我们向相关家庭表达最深切的同情，并正在审查本起诉讼中的指控。”

纽约州官员于周五起诉预测市场平台 Kalshi，称其为“非法的、无许可的赌博运营”，该州正寻求停止其运营并强制该公司没收其利润。
纽约州加入到人数不断增加的州行列中，针对 Kalshi 及其他公司提起诉讼。这起争端源于与唐纳德·特朗普总统政府之间关于谁有权监管快速增长的预测市场的分歧。
Kalshi 和其他平台辩称，他们拥有联邦许可并受其监管，各州没有权力对他们进行管理。
“看到我们本州领导层上演这种政治戏码令人难过，”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拥有联邦许可的交易平台。这也会伤害纽约人，因为他们将被驱逐到海外平台。我们热爱纽约，热爱纽约人，而纽约人也热爱我们的产品。”
纽约州州长凯西·霍库尔 (Kathy Hochul) 和总检察长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯 (Letitia James) 均为民主党人，他们宣布了在曼哈顿州最高法院提起的一项诉讼。詹姆斯的办公室请求法院命令 Kalshi 没收所有非法所得，向受损消费者支付赔偿金，并支付相当于公司收益三倍的罚金。
今年 4 月，纽约州曾针对预测市场平台 Coinbase 和 Gemini 提起类似的诉讼，指控其涉嫌非法赌博运营。
诉讼还指出，预测市场允许 18 到 20 岁的用户参与，而纽约州要求移动端体育投注用户的年龄必须至少 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举措。
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。随着人们日益担心先进技术给人类、政治和繁荣带来的风险，这是高科技领域所面临的最激进的监管措施之一。
布鲁塞尔旨在追踪 AI 模型的利用情况，以打击违反其新规的行为，例如发布色情材料、伪造照片和视频，以及针对公共基础设施的网络威胁。随着该联盟的《AI 法案》于周日生效，AI 公司将被要求通过标签或数字水印明确告知消费者，聊天机器人或图像是由 AI 生成的。
此次部署是在 AI 安全故障震惊业界的背景下进行的。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 AI 模型在测试中入侵 3 个团体
Anthropic 表示，其人工智能模型在测试期间入侵了另外三个组织。就在几天前，ChatGPT 制造商 OpenAI 在披露其失控模型入侵另一家公司后，对 AI 控制问题表达了担忧。
这家总部位于旧金山的 Claude 背后的 AI 公司 Anthropic 周四在其网站上发布消息称，在审查了超过 141,000 次评估运行后，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，旨在寻找证据，确认其 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为 Claude Opus 4.7、Claude Mythos 5 以及一个内部研究测试模型。 —— 美联社
中国 7 月工厂活动陷入收缩
中国 7 月的工厂活动出人意料地放缓，为五个月来首次出现收缩，这影响了这个世界第二大经济体整体增长的步伐。
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 读数的衡量范围是 0 到 100。读数高于 50 表示扩张，低于 50 则反映收缩。

法国，萨迪拉克 (SADIRAC) —— 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味道。烟雾预示着该地区经济前景的艰辛。
山火已烧毁了面积相当于巴黎四倍的地区，导致 220,000 人离开家园，并摧毁了该地区的部分旅游景点，这将给法国本就受压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之外什么都没剩下的时候，这简直是一场物理上的末日，然后紧接着就是经济上的末日，”地区商会主席 Patrick Seguin 在一次电话采访中说道，他的声音因激动而哽咽。
这“将是对我们经济残存部分的背后一刀”。

华盛顿 —— 5 个州已同意接受来自全国各地的核废料，以换取联邦政府在发展核能方面的帮助，从而创造数千个就业机会。
这五个州 —— 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，帮助美国重新夺回在民用核能领域的领导地位。

将价值 $400M 的公司捐给慈善机构
作者：David Gelles 《纽约时报》
1968, 年，小埃迪·史密斯（Eddie Smith Jr.）买下了一家位于北卡罗来纳州格林维尔（Greenville）的新兴造船商。这是一个冒险之举。这家名为 Grady-White Boats 的公司当时陷入了困境。
但史密斯扭转了局面，如今这家专门为沿海水域设计的高端休闲钓鱼船制造商每年的年收入高达数亿美元。在此过程中，史密斯一直完全控制该公司，从未引入外部投资者或向公众出售股票。
现在，83, 岁的史密斯做出了最后一个重大举措：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。
他在一次采访中表示：“上帝真的眷顾我，让我能够将绝大部分净资产捐赠出去。我不需要一艘 200-foot 长的游艇，也不需要去地中海度冬。我在北卡罗来纳州东部生活得非常开心。”

他已将 Grady-White 的投票股（仅占公司总股份的一小部分）转移到了一个名为“目的信托”（purpose trust）的法律实体中。该信托将永久持有股份，确保 Grady-White 保持独立且永远不会被出售——并继续按照史密斯的价值观（包括利润共享）运营。
公司其余没有投票权的股份正在转移给一个新成立的 501(c)(4) 非营利组织。该信托和非营利组织将由不包括史密斯在内的独立董事会管理。他将留任名誉首席执行官（CEO emeritus）并领取年度薪资。员工于上周得知此消息，公司计划在未来几天内正式宣布。

孟加拉国，拉杰沙希 ——在温度升至 104 度的酷暑中，他在加油站与数百名村民挤在一起等了三天。人们试图插队，冲突随即爆发，招来了挥舞警棍的警察。
为了有机会购买柴油，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，因为那是他生计的主要来源。他最终用自行车将柴油带回家——柴油装在系在车把上的油桶里——这将为抽水机提供动力，从而让地下水灌溉他的农田。而抽水机之前已空载。
那是三月下旬，是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。随着霍尔木兹海峡的航运中断，全球能源价格飙升。
在南亚，柴油极度短缺。因此，农作物失去了水分。
随着中东战争限制了全球能源供应，数百万农民正面临燃料短缺和价格上涨的问题，尤其是昂贵的柴油，这威胁到了他们的灌溉用水，并危及粮食供应。面对收成锐减，亚洲和非洲的许多农村家庭正通过借贷来支付耕种成本，这挑战了他们生产未来作物的能力。
在世界许多地区，海峡的关闭阻碍了食品和肥料的运输，导致价格大幅上涨。
由于这场危机叠加在国际救援体系的大幅削减之上，索马里和苏丹等国家正遭受极度饥饿甚至饥荒。
“葡萄酒业已经危机好几年了，地缘政治问题、现在广泛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，使情况进一步恶化，”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，无论是对我们来说，还是更广泛地说，对波尔多葡萄酒来说，”他说，“而现在这件事成了刹车。”

这发生在唐纳德·特朗普总统试图将国内核能产量提高四倍之际，原因是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安全原则，该原则在 50 年来一直将美国民众接触到的辐射量降至最低。
NRC 的提案将放弃将辐射暴露控制在“合理可行最低水平”的理念，转而设定一个独立的最高辐射暴露标准，其中涵盖了数项

在粮食相对丰饶的地区，如今命运之轮正在反转。专家担心，更高的灌溉成本可能会打消一些农民种植作物的意愿。
“如果这次柴油危机持续下去，农民可能不再有兴趣继续投资，”扎基尔·侯赛因·汗（Zakir Hossain Khan）表示，他是一位经济学家，也是专注于可持续发展的全球研究机构 Change Initiative 的共同创始人。
这场战争给数十个国家带来了深刻的冲击——随着美国与伊朗之间不断扩大的冲突再次阻塞了霍尔木兹海峡的交通，这种冲击目前正获得新的势头。
孟加拉国的局面对此代表了一个关键维度：灌溉的中断。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% 的粮食。由电力驱动的灌溉系统通常对环境更有利，且不易受到像海峡关闭这类事件的影响。
但许多国家仍然依赖柴油。
法国最大的松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，在该地区，包括空中客车 (Airbus)、达索 (Dassault) 和泰雷兹 (Thales) 在内的国防和航空航天工业枢纽中，已有 39,000 家企业受到影响。
商会表示，能源成本的上升已经在挤压利润。在 7 月中旬对地区企业进行的一项民意调查中，约 94% 的受访企业表示面临困难。
他指出，波尔多和利堡两市的商业法院报告称，从 2025 年 6 月到今年同月，企业破产清算数量增加了 37%。
波尔多市长托马斯·卡泽纳夫 (Thomas Cazenave) 表示，一些餐饮业者告诉他，预订量骤减。他正反对其他官员要求人们避开该地区的请求。他多次强调，这座城市并未被撤离，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。
加州众议员迈克·莱文 (Mike Levin) 表示，关于核燃料的公告早已预料之中，且需要两党协作来解决棘手的核废料挑战。民主党人莱文一直推动拨款以安全地移除和处置乏核燃料。
斯科特·罗克尔 (Scott Roecker) 曾任国家核安全局官员，现为亲核团体“核规模倡议” (Nuclear Scaling Initiative) 的顾问，他认为建立园区是一个好主意，但他警告称，由于成本和安全问题，乏核燃料不应在当地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，此类系统应增加太阳能驱动的操作，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，为数亿人种植粮食仍依赖于柴油。
“它仍然是生命线，”经济学家、孟加拉国农业大学前副校长萨塔尔·曼德尔 (Sattar Mandal) 表示，“你不能立即停止它，否则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水稻——这是当地的主食作物。鉴于小农场的核心地位，农业经济遭受的任何打击都可能产生巨大的后果。
即使在最好的时代，种植粮食也需要希望。农民习惯于风险和变量，从不合时宜的降雨到热浪。然而，这场战争又增加了地缘政治的麻烦。
与伊朗的冲突 加剧了对该地区 更多空中袭击的担忧
作者：Qasim Nauman 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波敌对行动的爆发，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，袭击目标是艾哈迈德-贾伯空军基地（Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base）的美国资产。
一名要求匿名的美国国防部官员证实，伊朗发射了多枚飞行物，主要针对科威特，但该地区的美国军事基地未受到重大影响。
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，并补充说，拦截行动造成的碎片掉落导致了财产损失，但没有人员受伤。
伊朗军方表示，此次袭击是为了回应近期日益增加的美国军事打击。
负责监管美国在中东军事行动的美国中央司令部周四表示，由于伊朗在前一天向中东美军发射了弹道导弹，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
作者：Jacquelyn Martin, Darlene Superville 及 Seung Min Kim 美联社
马里兰州，戴维营 —— 总统唐纳德·特朗普将周五的内阁会议移至戴维营。他利用这座总统度假地充满历史感的乡野背景，夸耀其政府的成就，同时利用西班牙的移民危机，为其论证选民为何应让共和党继续执政。
这次内阁会议是特朗普第二任期内的第 13 次此类会议。此次会议发生在 11 月中期选举前三个月，如果民主党控制国会的一院或两院，这次选举可能会对他权力形成制约。
他关于西班牙的警告与他在 2018 年中期选举前的措辞如出一辙，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

结束了近期在冲突与谈判之间剧烈波动的美伊直接袭击的暂停期。本周，包括约旦和沙特阿拉伯在内的多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港口达米埃塔 (Damietta) 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天然气储存船。此次事件似乎并未干扰苏伊士运河的交通，但分析人士表示，这表明了冲突在
“昨天，我目睹了这场灾难的发生。这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。“如果共和党人没有当选，同样的事情将会发生在我们身上。而且会更糟糕，规模更大。”
在过去的 24 小时内，约 60,000 名移民从摩洛哥进入西班牙的塞乌塔 (Ceuta) 小领土。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的责任，推给了该州“极其无能”的民主党领导层。
官员们尚未公开确定袭击者的身份，不过 FBI、网络安全和基础设施安全局 (CISA) 以及其他机构在去年的一项咨询公告中警告称，伊朗黑客一直将水和废水系统以及其他关键基础设施部门的操作控制作为目标。
“他们把这归咎于伊朗，”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。我认为我将其归咎于明尼苏达州，因为他们极其无能。”
总统在任期内经常召开内阁会议，将其作为推广政府政策并回答当日新闻问题的场合。但周五的会议不同寻常之处在于，它是在戴维营 (Camp David) 举行的。这座政府所有的度假地坐落在马里兰州的卡托克廷山脉 (Catoctin Mountains)，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举行的电视转播内阁会议。
“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。
在唐纳德·特朗普接受记者提问之前，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达成的一项协议发表了评论。

西班牙 塞塔（CEUTA）—— 塞塔主席周五表示，在过去的24小时内，约60,000名移民从摩洛哥进入西班牙微小的塞塔领土，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，在如此多移民突然到来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数英里，并面对试图用水炮、催泪瓦斯和警告射击将其驱回的当局。
中东局势可能会进一步扰乱全球贸易。
包括油轮在内的商业船只经常成为目标，尤其是在霍尔穆兹海峡，这里通常是全球能源供应的关键通道。
航运面临的威胁也已扩展到中东其他地区。

受伊朗支持的也门民兵组织胡塞武装宣布封锁沙特船只，并以红海中的船只为目标，红海在战争期间已成为石油出口的重要航线。
沙特阿拉伯周四表示，在十几个国家的支持下，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，以及参与国将提供哪些资产（如军舰或飞机）。
沙特外交部还宣布与美国军队共同对伊拉克境内受伊朗支持的民兵组织进行打击，该部将针对沙特石油设施的袭击归咎于这些组织。
周五，一名要求匿名的沙特官员在袭击后试图安抚巴格达，强调此次打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，只有在外交措施全部尝试完毕后才采取打击行动。
与此同时，首批两架旨在为中东行动提供支持的美国军机周五抵达保加利亚东南部的一处空军基地，引发了伊朗的投诉，因为保加利亚居民也在抗议此次部署。
特朗普政府在利用空军基地支持其与伊朗的战争问题上，面临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月早些时候投票通过，允许部署最多八架飞机。
特朗普周四宣布，这将导致巴勒斯坦组织哈马斯的解除武装。
他还感叹，一项用于补偿其盟友的18 亿美元 billion反武器化基金已经“死掉了”，并且似乎在撤回本月早些时候关于授予乌克兰制造爱国者防空系统许可证的承诺。
“我不认为这会发生，但你知道，有些人一旦得到了这项技术，有一天他们可能会反过来对付你，”特朗普补充道。“看看战争，这些年来发生过几次，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，这将会有“起伏”。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）的战争在一定程度上推动了这一进展。
特朗普还谈到了阻碍托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）获得司法部长确认的反武器化基金，称这笔钱已经“死掉了”并表示“说实话，我希望它还没死”。
总统继续为那些潜在的基金受益者辩护，他们主要是那些
西班牙部署了军队和额外的警察力量以恢复塞乌塔的秩序。塞乌塔位于直布罗陀海峡地中海入口处，自 1580 年以来一直是西班牙的领地。
在边境的摩洛哥一侧，安全部队与移民发生冲突。此次混乱还产生了海外连锁反应，意大利和法国承诺将加强对从西班牙抵达人员的管控。
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，部署在贝兹梅尔空军基地。
根据 2006 年美保防务协议，位于首都索非亚东南 160 英里的贝兹梅尔设施是一个共同使用设施。任何对该基地的的新用途都需要经过议会批准。
此次部署获得授权至 10 月 1 日。
总统 唐纳德·特朗普 在 Truth Social 的帖文中感谢保加利亚总理鲁门·拉德夫，感谢其“尽管面对伊朗的威胁”仍允许此次部署。
周四，保加利亚外交部长韦莉斯拉娃·佩特罗娃向其伊朗同行阿巴斯·阿拉格齐保证，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，“绝不可能”从保加利亚领土上执行任何与中东冲突相关的直接军事行动。

建设数据中心需要数千名熟练技术人员
作者：Lydia Depillis 《纽约时报》
密歇根州，沃伦 —— 作为底特律的一名见习电工，泰勒·谢尔顿 (Tyler Shelton) 每天的大部分时间都花在进入人孔井修复电缆和其他电气设备上。但最近，他的公司将许多工人派往一个大约一小时车程外刚刚动工的庞大数据中心。
“每个人都想要那笔钱，”29 岁的谢尔顿在学徒期每两周一次的课堂日午休期间说道。“我们有工作要做，但我们也失去了相当一部分人力，他们都去了这些数据中心。”
不久，他可能也会加入其中：据该州称，OpenAI 在萨林镇 (Saline Township) 的项目是密歇根州历史上最大的单项投资，需要数百名电工每天工作 10 小时，每周工作七天。
尽管有加班费带来的红利，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，但我也希望在工作之余能有自己的生活。”
在底特律电气工业培训中心，数据中心的繁荣成为了人们关注的焦点。那里约有 850 名学徒在繁重的工作之余接受培训。这些超级项目正以高薪和奖金将熟练的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的人手建设和运行数据中心的人工智能公司来说，下一代电工同样是关注的重点。
这种投入包括了这家培训设施，它是国际（International）合作伙伴关系支持的 270 家设施之一。

欧洲正面临一个极热的夏天，导致从大西洋沿岸到东地中海地区山火频发。德国、希腊、西班牙、土耳其和英国本周都在与大火搏斗。

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场踱步到另一处，扑灭一个个小型火点。这些山火已横扫法国西南部面积相当于四个巴黎大小的林地。
“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的人员之一，他们正与法国多年来最大规模的山火作斗争。
“我在保护我的森林，我的家，”他说，像给花园浇水一样将浇水壶里的水倒入一条冒烟的沟渠中，然后在热浪中喘气。
这场山火撕裂了大西洋沿岸的 cultivated 森林，该地区同样以高耸的沙丘和旅游度假胜地而闻名。火灾摧毁了波尔多以西 162 平方英里的土地，迫使近 25 万人离开家园和度假地。

在美国历史上，没有与当前数据中心建设热潮相类比的事件。这种热潮是由那些拥有几乎无限资金、竞相满足其 AI 模型激增需求的公司所驱动的。
这一爆发抵消了其他部门活动的缓慢，例如在疫情后从未恢复的办公楼建设。住房因高利率而低迷，离岸风电则因政治反对而受挫。尽管如此，对劳动力的竞争——更不用说土地和材料——正开始对该行业的其他部分产生影响。
当地当局表示，今年夏天发生了多起火灾，包括在地中海 Var 地区，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复燃。该地区的几个城镇已撤离。
随着本周更凉爽、更潮湿的空气进入法国西南部，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阴燃。
“情况已经稳定，但尚未完全停止，”法国内政部长洛朗·努涅兹 (Laurent Nunez) 告诉 RTL 广播电台。“热点依然存在。”
长期干旱和气候变化创造了易燃条件。波内尔表示，该地区经历了两个多月没有显著降雨的情况，导致植被异常干燥。
“毫无疑问，资源非常有限，因此建设某一项决策会在某种程度上拖累另一项，”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) 表示。
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大战。在达拉斯和北弗吉尼亚州等数据中心建设密集的市场中，工人为了奖金或更高的日薪而跳槽。这种竞争促使承包商转向 Aerotek 等人力资源服务公司。
“这正在制造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) 表示。“目前那里存在一个被动的求职者群体，我……”

联合国——联合国官员周五警告称，一个正在增强的厄尔尼诺现象在早期阶段就已经打破了强度记录，且随着其发展，可能会在世界范围内引发更多剧烈天气，“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 周的最高温度和最强水平，而这仍处于其生命周期的早期。
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。它在数月内不会达到顶峰，并应持续到 2027 年春季。联合国机构世界气象组织（WMO）周五警告说，这可能会在明年早些时候触发极端高温、干旱和强降雨。
“两个月前，我警告说厄尔尼诺已经到了我们的门前。现在它已经进入了屋子——并且在加热，”联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯（Antonio Guterres）周五告诉记者。“我们已经忍受了一个极端的夏天——打破记录的热穹顶；在西班牙、法国及更远地区肆虐的末日般的山火；在酷热条件下失去了数千条生命。”
“但根据最新的科学研究，这仅仅是热身阶段，”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“建筑商与承包商协会”（Associated Builders and Contractors）运行。该协会正在制定一套针对数据中心的初级建筑技能课程，希望确保项目能够按时且在预算内完成。
“初步目标是：‘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 Joel Thames 表示。“如果有人离开并进入另一个部门，或者去了一家不在 Meta 工地工作的承包商那里，我们都认为那是可以接受的。”
Sean McGarvey 是北美建筑贸易工会（Building Trades Unions）的主席，该联盟代表 3 million 名工人。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。McGarvey 表示，只要他们尽早承诺雇佣工会工人，他的组织可以提供与 AI 巨头同等规模的人员培训。

或者如此，但科学家说这不能保证。
在厄尔尼诺接近一年的生命周期中，目前还处于早期，尚未看到许多直接影响，但科学家们表示，这些影响即将到来，并赞同古特雷斯的警告。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热的 7 月，”哥伦比亚大学气候科学家 Jeffrey Shaman 表示，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发生变化，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、印度和亚洲其他地区、澳大利亚、南美洲以及非洲极有可能出现干旱和山火。而包括美国大部分地区和遭受火灾袭击的南欧在内的其他地区，降雨量将高于平均水平。
只要他们尽早承诺雇佣工会工人，其所需的人员培训即可提供。
OpenAI 在 3 月份这样做了，承诺将与工会合作为其项目配备人员。McGarvey 称 Meta 的举措是“一次高明的公关手段”，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。
与建筑业工会合作还能带来政治支持。东大西洋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，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的本地信誉。
“那些行业在遏制负面言论和教育社区方面做得非常糟糕，”Abrantes 说道，“这几乎就像是在替他们做倡导和业务开发。”
建筑工人们对数据中心的看法也往往不一。
Starr Sciortino 正处于电工工会学徒培训的第二年。她热爱排除故障，并刚刚开始参与通用汽车在密歇根州莱克奥赖恩（Lake Orion）工厂的大规模改造项目。但她将建设数据中心比作帮助建造武器工厂。
“我不认为任何金额的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，到最后真的值得吗？”随着建设进入白热化阶段，这个问题笼罩在那些即将成为熟练工的学徒们心中。经过完整培训的电工可以转向核电站、公寓楼或制药厂。但很难想象会有什么项目的规模能像目前正在进行的一样大。
“这是一个预见风险并在影响显现前采取行动的机会，”世界气象组织（WMO）秘书长 Celeste Saulo 说道。
古特雷斯表示，虽然厄尔尼诺现象和气候变化是不同的现象，但它们的影响形成了一种有害的组合——而人们并没有足够认真地对待这两者之间的联系。
“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原因，即化石燃料推动的加速气候危机，关注得还不够，”古特雷斯说道。
古特雷斯表示，世界过于沉溺于乌克兰、中东和苏丹的戏剧性战争，而忽略了气候变化的危险。除此之外，“还存在着一场蓄意的运动，主要是由化石燃料行业和一些国家发起的，目的是为了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我们所有人的生存威胁了。”
美国、沙特在伊 拉克发动袭击， 导致 PMF 至少 20 名战士死亡
作者：Raja Abdulrahim 《纽约时报》
约旦，安曼 —— 伊拉克拥有数十个武装民兵组织，这是 2003, 年美国领导的入侵该国以及对抗极端组织“伊斯兰国”战争的遗留产物。如今，其中一些民兵组织再次被卷入吞没中东的更广泛冲突中。
在周三的一份声明中，人民动员部队（PMF）表示，在针对该组织总部的一波覆盖伊拉克全境的美国和沙特空袭中，作为与伊朗有联系的伊拉克民兵伞状组织的 PMF 至少有 20 名战士死亡。
伊拉克与伊朗和美国都保持着密切联系，并经常发现自己处于交战双方之间，伊拉克领土有时变成了代理战战场。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成立于 2003 年美国领导的入侵和占领伊拉克之后，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，拥有什叶派穆斯林多数人口，其回应方式是帮助训练并武装伊拉克什叶派民兵，以攻击占领伊拉克的美国军队。
2014, 在伊拉克与快速扩张的逊尼派极端组织“伊斯兰国”作战期间，许多什叶派民兵在被称为人民动员部队（Popular Mobilization Forces）的组织下联合起来，共同对抗一个已经夺取伊拉克大部分地区的组织。PMF 内部的一些民兵接受伊朗的军事和资金支持。
当时，其中一些民兵也与美国领导的打击“伊斯兰国”组织的联军进行合作。
司法部撤销对前奥运选手 在华盛顿纪念池案件中的指控
来自新闻服务机构
华盛顿——司法部周五采取行动，撤销了一起刑事案件，该案指控一名原奥运选手蓄意破坏林肯纪念堂前的人造反射池（Reflecting Pool）。
政府律师在一份 20 页的法院文件中表示，自对大卫·希恩（David Hearn）提起公诉以来提供的信息显示，该损害是由于“承包商的安装缺陷”以及“在 2026 年独立日前后几周与美国 250 周年庆典相关的活动之前匆忙完成项目”所致。
美国检察官珍宁·皮罗（Jeanine Pirro）在文件中表示：“鉴于所有这些新发现的信息，很难将反射池的广泛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定这一事实。”
希恩的律师在的一份声明中表示，针对他的案件根本不应该提起。
律师们表示：“今天的撤诉并不能抹除政府在逮捕和指控一名毫无过错的爱国美国人时滥用权力的事实。政府的做法是先开火，后瞄准。政府欠希恩先生一个道歉。”
希恩在 7 月对一项财产破坏重罪指控表示不认罪，原定于 9 月 28 日在华盛顿特区高等法院开庭审理。该项指控若被定罪，最高可判处 10 年监禁，指控希恩对该池造成了至少 $1,000 的损失。

在得到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驱逐出境的 PMF 部队中，有一支名为巴德尔组织（Badr Organization）的民兵组织。该组织当时也被指控对伊拉克逊尼派穆斯林少数群体成员实施暴行。这支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内阁部门，PMF 获得了政治影响力，并同意接受伊拉克国家安全部队的管辖。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独立地运作，并与伊朗维持密切关系。

火箭将撞击月球：一枚在一年多前发射了一对月球着陆器后漂流的 SpaceX 火箭正处于与月球的碰撞轨道上。
该火箭的上级部分将于周三无意中撞击月球，开凿出一个陨石坑，并激起一 plume 尘埃和碎片。科学家以及天文爱好者都对此充满期待。
空间追踪专家比尔·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——撞击点位于月球向阳的西边缘附近，靠近爱因斯坦陨石坑。
由于此次事件发生在凌晨时分，美国东部地区、加拿大以及南美洲大部分地区将拥有最佳观测视角。
虽然科学家们并不太担心这件特定的太空垃圾，但这凸显了随着越来越多物体挤入轨道而日益增长的威胁。
计划在加拿大新不伦瑞克省观察后续情况的格雷表示：“那上面的空间变得越来越拥挤了。”
PMF 的行动于周三清晨进行。美国表示，为了应对这些民兵最近发起的无人机袭击，美方袭击了在伊拉克境内由伊朗支持的代理武装组织。
美国中央司令部在社交媒体上表示，在伊朗革命卫队的指示下，伊拉克民兵本周对中东地区的美国军队以及沙特能源基础设施发起了 30 次以上的无人机袭击。
没有一家伊拉克民兵组织对这些近期的袭击负责。
沙特外交部周三在由国家媒体发布的一份声明中表示，该国不寻求局势升级，但不会在面对任何侵略时犹豫回应。

军机坠毁：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，预计能够生还。
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，并被送往当地医疗机构，情况稳定，接受非致命伤的评估和治疗，”海军陆战队在声明中表示。
来自新闻直升机的航拍视频显示，一片泥土地的残骸中升起一团黑烟，附近停有多辆军用和消防车，并有人员在场。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。

2 月 28 日，当美国和以色列对伊朗发起战争时，另一家伊拉克民兵组织“真主党营”（Kataib Hezbollah）的总部遭到空袭。袭击造成三名民兵成员死亡，其他人员受伤。
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”。
“真主党营”以及伊拉克境内其他与伊朗结盟的武装组织立即威胁要对美国和以色列进行报复。这些民兵声称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在一次火箭弹袭击中成为目标。

银行规则：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，最显著的是将减少需要完全遵守该法律的银行数量。
货币监理署（OCC）和联邦存款保险公司（FDIC）周五共同宣布了对《社区再投资法》（Community Reinvestment Act）的拟议修改。该法律要求监管机构记录银行在向中低收入社区发放贷款方面的表现。
没有任何组织为此负责。自那时起，“真主党营”和其他民兵组织对伊拉克境内的美国目标发起了无人机和火箭弹袭击。
该组织还承认对一些高调绑架事件负责，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。
真主之剑旅（Kataib Hezbollah）长期以来与伊朗的圣城旅（Quds Force）关系密切，后者是伊朗强大的革命卫队的海外部门。2009年，美国将其列为外国恐怖组织。
真主之剑旅和巴德尔组织（Badr Organization）是部分在国家控制之外运作的民兵组织之列。
伊拉克政府立场
伊拉克总统府谴责美国和沙特对人民动员部队（PMF）总部的袭击，并表示其“认为这是一次不可接受的袭击，公然违反了伊拉克的主权，且违反国际法和联合国宪章，目标指向其官方安全机构”。
周三的声明还表示，政府拒绝将伊拉克领土用作“攻击邻国或清算地区和国际账目的发射台或竞技场”。
在今年4月上台后不久，伊拉克总理阿里·扎伊迪（Ali al-Zaidi）命令该国的民兵组织接受国家的直接控制，试图遏制这些武装团体。这并非伊拉克首次尝试加强政府对民兵的控制，但之前的尝试均以失败告终。
一些与伊朗关系最紧密的强大民兵组织拒绝了政府此次的尝试。

Lorde（原名 Ella Yelich-O’Connor）上一次在 2017 年于芝加哥的鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节演出时，才唱了两首歌，一场雷暴天气引发的紧急避险就剥夺了她和观众的演出机会，而那本应是一场依托于她具有里程碑意义的第二张专辑《Melodrama》的强力表演。
在周四晚间作为压轴嘉宾的表演进行到大约三分之一时，她讲述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音乐创作人与（近在咫尺的）家乡英雄之间做选择，是参与者们一整天讨论的话题：在摩天轮的排队队列中，在饮水补给站的排队队列中。
“我太兴奋了，”她回忆道，并特别提到歌曲《The Louvre》中关于“夏日的迷恋、渴望与痴迷”的部分，是她最期待表演的。
“而且我这一整天都非常紧张，因为我真的很在意芝加哥，”她在谈到回归时补充道，并简要提到了她在 2014 年 lollapalooza 的首次亮相，当时她年仅 17 岁。
她以相对极简的舞美制作而闻名（当她的 2013 年首张专辑《Pure Heroine》首次发行时，她几乎是在黑暗中表演的）。这次演出中，两名乐队成员在键盘、吉他和贝斯之间交替地与她同台，两名现代舞者同时扮演一对情侣和陌生人，舞台上还有一个校园饮水机。
她通过质疑流行文化的虚伪、消费主义、不确定的未来、衰老以及对被窥视的恐惧等歌词，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广阔的空间——并为 Z 世代早期的词曲作者赢得了无可否认的认可。在编舞和灯光设计中运用几何图形和阴影，像《Buzzcut Season》、《Shapeshifter》和《Oceanic Feeling》这样的歌曲在数千名观众聚集在 T-Mobile 舞台时，呈现出一种近乎萦绕心头的特质。她的动作与扭曲充满本能，有时甚至不惜表现得“丑陋”（这是褒义的，我们热爱这种戏剧感），这位歌手在舞台上舞蹈、爬行，并在一个将她抬高至人群数百英尺之上的升降台上扭动。这感觉更像是一次对脆弱性的穷尽剖析，而非一场宏大的胜利演出。

在今年格兰特公园鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节的音乐人名单中，散布着近年来人气上升的艺术家，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跨越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，包括他们发现的艺术家以及他们如何接触这些音乐。对于一些人来说，这意味着在流媒体服务上发现新音乐或通过口耳相传。而对于另一些人，则是通过在 TikTok 等应用上刷视频，直到下一个大牌艺术家出现。
对于 Elizabeth Nichols 来说，社交媒体正让音乐变得更易触达。她是一位乡村歌手兼词曲作者，她的歌曲《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。

一名工作人员在 Lorde 表演前分发成箱的饮用水。
瞬间，Lorde 的观众完全沉浸在共同的宣泄之中。她甚至演唱了《Liability》——标志着在鲁拉帕卢萨音乐节又是一年落泪之时。
“未来与我想象的不同。它更艰难，也更阴暗。我感到害怕，”她坦言。
“对于我们来说，彼此舞蹈、哭泣和歌唱，是我感到自己还活着的最好方式之一。但我很抱歉地告诉你们，情况将会
音乐，或者希望我发行音乐，如果不是因为 TikTok，我绝对不可能这样做。我认为音乐现在是历史上最容易接触到的。”
在过去的两年里，Nichols 全心拥抱她在网上收到的爱，并通过面对面和虚拟的方式将其回馈给粉丝。
“我喜欢发帖，我觉得这是与每个人建立联系的最佳方式，”Nichols 说。“尤其是与人们见面、演出，以及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，所以能够拥抱他们、对他们说谢谢，并听到他们唱我的歌，感觉完全不同。这真的很酷。”
一些参加音乐节的人表示，他们是通过多种方式发现自己最喜欢的艺术家的，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 也是如此，她周四开幕日唯一的目标就是站在独立流行创作歌手 Audrey Hobert 的我喜欢的艺术家，也许作为他们的开场嘉宾。
变得更艰难和更阴暗。这就是我们面对的现实。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，当我本可以自由行动时，我是否表现得像被困住一样？鲁拉帕卢萨，我们必须保持清醒。因为现在的这一刻感觉太美好了，它正从我们的指缝中溜走。它是属于我们的，它是美丽的。”
因此，当舞蹈时间到来时，他们尽情舞动。

《Green Light》、《Supercut》、《Perfect Places》和《Team》成为了青春躁动与放纵、快乐与发现的赞歌。另一位周末领衔艺人 查莉·xcx 惊喜现身（虽然这算惊喜吗？），共同演唱 2024 年专辑《BRAT》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，做一个女孩确实如此令人困惑。
在将结尾曲《Ribs》献给那些仍在寻找自我的孩子时，舞台上充满了粉色的激光灯。一群观众在跳跃和拥抱，共同唱起副歌的钩子句“You’re the only friend I need”，随后消失在人海与肢体交织的浪潮中。
在事实发生近十年后，现场不见雨滴，Lorde 完美呈现。
Jessi Roti 是一名自由评论员。
“我觉得现在能发现这么多艺人，比你以前能感受到的更多，”Hoffner 说。“以前，我会通过 Tumblr 找到他们，然后是 Instagram，接着是 TikTok、Vine 及其它平台。但现在我觉得 Spotify 是我如今发现艺人的主因。”
另一方面，22, 岁的 Alaina Sebring 则是通过社交媒体发现 Hobert 的，她在 2025 年歌曲《Sue Me》发行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。
同为音乐节参与者的 20, 岁 Victoria Morris 呼应了 Sebring 的观点，并补充说社交媒体的饱和度增强了她对一名艺术家的喜爱程度。
“你更有可能看到他们，看到他们的表演，看到他们发布的动态，然后觉得‘噢，太棒了’，而不仅仅是在广播里听到的一首歌，”莫里斯说。“你一遍又一遍地听到它。你随时随地都能听到它，你在刷社交媒体时，每刷三次就能看到一次《Sue Me》，而是在广播里每 20 首歌才能听到一次。”

即将再发行的披头士乐队《Rubber Soul》专辑包含一段来自约翰·列侬的未公开歌曲 demo。
这张 1965 年唱片的新混音版本定于 10 月 2 日发行。该专辑包含对一些知名曲目的全新诠释，例如《Michelle》、《Day Tripper》、《Nowhere Man》和《We Can Work It Out》。
但吸引许多“Fab Four”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 demo 版本。一份新闻发布稿将该曲目描述为“一段此前从未被听到、也从未被发行甚至传闻过的约翰·列侬歌曲大纲”。
这段神秘的 demo 录制于 1965 年一次为期一个月、在披头士于纽约市谢伊体育场演出后不久进行的录音棚期间。关于该曲目的细节知之甚少。
这部新的《Rubber Soul》“超级豪华”合集包含 demo、弃用曲目和替代版本，此外还附带一本 88 页的书册，其中包含披头士贝斯手兼主唱保罗·麦卡特尼写的序言。

咨询埃里克
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，他在不同阶段曾因此承受法律后果并丢掉工作。
在最近一次住院治疗后，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”。这让我和家里的其他成员感到不安，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却拒绝承认他的问题。尽管医生诊断他的健康状况是由过度饮酒引起的，她却将他的住院归咎于饮食不佳。
最近，她在一次家庭活动中出现，当时除了我丈夫之外没有人喝酒，她放下了一瓶葡萄酒并说：“让我们狂欢吧。”
我该如何让她知道她的这种“接纳”行为正在阻碍他的康复，同时又不至于冒犯她？ —— 忧心忡忡的配偶
亲爱的忧心者：你可能不得不冒着冒犯她的风险，但请考虑，为了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理，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，了解自己在促使亲人改变方面能力的局限性，并开始处理他们对亲人的……
流行音乐的反叛者在名声中挣扎
作者：Maria Sherman 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
当查莉·xcx 发布时长不足两分钟、充满电音故障感的《Rock Music》（这是《Music, Fashion, Film》的第一首单曲）时，她几乎立即被贴上了“挑衅者”的标签。
这首歌采用了 hyperpop 的风格，并在歌词中俏皮地向创作致敬——“我认为舞池已经死掉了 / 所以现在我们要创作摇滚乐”——这让听众感到困惑和迷茫。她是在恶搞吗？她是在真诚表达吗？整张专辑难道都要由强力和弦组成吗？她那张改变时代风向的 2024 年电子专辑《Brat》，是否值得被彻底摒弃？
在《Music, Fashion, Film》中找不到答案。这取决于听众如何定义。这里有 11 首反常规类型的歌曲，配以眨眼示意般的摇滚乐器编排，潜心于艺术创作与自我意识。显而易见的是，查莉·xcx 与她的专属团队——联合制作人兼词曲作者 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》在享乐主义的巅峰之作，通过对歌词脆弱性的坚定执着，将俱乐部文化与惊恐发作（或至少是日记页）联系在一起。《Music, Fashion, Film》地达到了同样的高度，但此时的焦虑主要集中在名声、创造力和表演上。
名声和认知对于查莉·xcx 来说一直至关重要。在《Music, Fashion, Film》中依然如此——只不过不再像她对“成为一名艺术家意味着什么”的诸多思考那样重要——这些思考贯穿始终，并伴随着失真效果和幽默感。
如果你还没有参加过这样的会议，请去了解一下。你可以亲自前往或在线参加。由于你丈夫酗酒，你承受了许多情感上——或许还有法律或财务上的——包袱，与走过同样道路的人交流并获取应对策略将会很有帮助。
不幸的是，你无法控制你的婆婆怎么做或怎么想。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”字开头的陈述句，反映你在丈夫酗酒问题上的经历，并就她在丈夫身边的行为提出要求。但改变行为取决于她自己；而最终，取决于你丈夫是否能为自己的酗酒负责，并寻求适合他的治疗方案。
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。
尽管詹姆斯申请了多个职位，但没有取得成功。他拒绝考虑其非常专业领域之外的工作，结果导致我的儿子在经济上资助他，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，从而潜在地扩大就业机会和社交圈。
我的儿子向我倾诉了，就像在出色的《Card Declined》中所表现的那样。

《MUSIC, FASHION, FILM》 查莉·xcx
(Atlantic Records)
《2007》是关于拍摄 TikTok 视频的歌曲，在强力和弦的铺垫下避开了空洞感，听起来像是一个初学者在学习流行朋克翻唱曲目，并为专辑奠定了一个显著的潜流：乐器编排具有重复性，通常注重节奏驱动的极简主义和替代调弦，充满了早期对音乐热爱之声。
制作则是另一回事。其中充满了复杂细节，比如在迷人的后摇曲目《Magic Metal Montana》中出现了出乎意料的节奏变换，这是一首写给 Cook 的柏拉图式情歌。
“SS26”中朗朗上口的和弦与鼓机副歌，不具备某些提供吉他-鼓-贝斯喘息机会的歌曲（如“Yeah”和“Wink Wink”）那样的节奏感。但其明显缺乏了让《Brat》大获成功的强劲打击乐，而这一点反而令人欣喜。
我觉得他正对这种情况感到非常沮丧。虽然我努力在不评判的情况下倾听并保持支持，但我越来越担心詹姆斯在利用他。
我应该向詹姆斯直言，让他知道我对这件事的看法，还是应该把意见留给自己？ —— 乐于助人的母亲
亲爱的乐于助人者：采取折中方案。不要直接与詹姆斯交谈，因为如果你这么做，你就是在介入你儿子一段关系中正在进行的冲突，这会使人们的注意力从寻找解决方案上转移开来。
詹姆斯的“问题”将变成他的岳母，而不是他的工作状况以及该状况对其伴侣的影响。詹姆斯和你儿子需要自行解决这个问题，而你的督促不太可能成为最终让他摆脱这种困境的契机。然而，你可以问问你的儿子是否愿意接受建议，如果愿意，告诉他你的观察，并建议他在面对詹姆斯时，就目前发生的事情表现得更加坚定或坦率。
你的儿子可能需要一个他信任的人告诉他，这些并不是他必须忍受的事情。由于他才20多岁，他可能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的指导方面可能会获益。
由于他比詹姆斯年轻，他可能觉得没有权力充分表达自己的想法，或者他在潜意识里认为詹姆斯一定比他更懂。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 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化为武器。但这分散了对其魅力的关注：松散的低音，以及一种令人感到幽闭恐惧的副歌。
2026 年的元讽刺纪录片《The Moment》或许预演了《Music, Fashion, Film》。这部电影记录了在名人野心实现之后所发生的一切。它并非这张专辑的配套作品，但两者有着共同的意识形态：两者都揭示了成为 查莉·xcx 意味着什么，且没有艺术家自制纪录片中那种自我神圣化的色彩。两者都幽默，且都充满真实感，同时塑造了一个接近她真实的公众形象。而且，最终，两者都让人感到有些晕眩。
在整个职业生涯中， 查莉·xcx 一直处于一个十字路口：一个拥有流行巨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演变，这是一次大胆的尝试，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，她依然是当下最有趣的流行反传统主义者之一。

《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《早间节目》（The Morning Show）第五季将是最后一季，并承诺这将是一场“星光熠熠”的最终演出。
詹妮弗·安妮斯顿透露，主演兼执行制片人詹妮弗·安妮斯顿和里斯·威瑟斯庞在进入拍摄阶段时就已经知道了这一决定。
“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周围世界现状并带有一丝黑色幽默的故事，”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杰出的编剧、制片人和工作人员合作是一项特权。我们已经像家人一样，大家都非常期待分享这最后一季。而且在知道这将是最后一季的情况下开始拍摄，我们很幸运能够有意识地打造结局，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·斯特尔特的书籍《早安：早间电视残酷世界内幕》（Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV），描写了一档虚构的早间新闻访谈节目幕后的生活，其情节直接取材于现实生活中的头条新闻。
“这始终不仅仅是一部关于新闻编辑室的剧集——它是一部关于为什么新闻编辑室至关重要的剧集，”威瑟斯庞在 Apple TV 的声明中说。“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’的记者。讲述这个故事是我职业生涯中创作上的特权。”

第 4 季目前正在播出，第 5 季将于 2027 年首播，并将有杰夫·丹尼尔斯、雷妮·拉普、杰西·威廉姆斯、肖恩·海耶斯和利齐·卡普兰等新面孔加入。
《德里女孩》创作者开发新剧《Wildwood》：由爱尔兰作家、热门喜剧《德里女孩》（Derry Girls）的创作者莉莎·麦基执笔，一部以泽西海岸为背景的新喜剧正在筹备中。
据 Deadline 报道，《Wildwood》将讲述一群大学女生在 2000 年夏天从爱尔兰前往新泽州，当时她们“没有钱，没有签证，没有计划，毫无头绪”。
麦基的《德里女孩》在 2018 年首次在英国 Channel 4 播出并在随后登陆 Netflix 后，成为了一部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”冲突期间，一群混乱、粗俗且古怪的青少年（包括《布里格顿》明星尼古拉·科夫兰）在一家天主教女子学校的故事。
这部剧对麦基来说是一个半自传式的故事，她在德里长大，擅长创作不敬且厚脸皮的年轻角色，令观众感到尴尬、流泪并大笑。
与 20th Television 和 FX 共同开发，此前据报道经历了一个竞争性的投标过程。麦基将担任创作者和执行制片人。

豪泽表示拍摄过程中存在“挑战”：电视明星科尔·豪泽（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。豪泽是少数几位在两部剧中都出演的演员之一，而后者中《黄石》创作者泰勒·谢里丹（Taylor Sheridan）的参与度较低。
“确实存在挑战，你知道吗？泰勒不在那里，”豪泽说。“对于我们来说，真正能够与这些新编剧、新导演以及这些人一起工作——一切都改变了。”
在原剧和衍生剧中均饰演牧场主里普·惠勒（Rip Wheeler）的豪泽表示，他在拍摄期间专注于创作过程。饰演贝丝·达顿（Beth Dutton）的凯利·赖利（Kelly Reilly）和饰演卡特（Carter）的芬·利特尔（Finn Little）是仅有的其他两位从《黄石》跨越到新剧的主要演员。
“我们必须在实践中摸索如何真正地表演并讲述一个故事，”豪泽说。“我对我们取得的成就感到自豪，并期待再次尝试。”

初代黑帮 (Original Gangsters) 由肖恩·宾（Sean Bean）主持 SundanceTV，晚上 9 点 限定剧集 在这部四集纪录片系列中，肖恩·宾（《权力的游戏》）将带领观众回顾历史上最伟大且最具标志性的黑帮恶棍画廊，从 阿尔·卡彭 到真实的“浴血之徒”（Peaky Blinders）。
在《乔西之歌》（The Ballad of Josie, 1967）中饰演当地女性参政权运动参与者；在浪漫喜剧《教师宠儿》（Teacher’s Pet, 1958）中饰演一名与城市编辑会面的新闻教授；以及在 1960 年的恐怖片《午夜蕾丝》（Midnight Lace，见图）中饰演一名通过电话收到死亡威胁而惊恐万分的女性。在后一部作品中，戴（Day）的表演如此激烈且迷人，以至于她获得了 1961 年金球奖最佳女演员提名。戴努力让自己不仅仅以音乐剧而闻名，并愿意拍摄探讨不安主题的争议性电影。致敬特辑中的最后几部电影之一是沉重的《风暴预警》（Storm Warning, 1950），片中一名女性目睹一名记者被白人至上主义者杀害。这是戴的第一个非演唱角色。

如果 8 月 1 日是你的生日：当宇宙测试某件事时，如果它不够强大，它就会失败。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——前半部分是测试。白羊座（3 月 21 日-4 月 19 日）：创造力的本质是一种神圣的、短暂的振动，它自动抵制任何控制的尝试。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，但它将永远输掉战争。双子座（5 月 21 日-6 月 20 日）：当一个人致力于误解时，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，那么他们几乎没有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。寻找能带来健康快乐的事物。狮子座（7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日）：轻声细语；志同道合的人会立即明白。不合拍的人则不会，而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——你知道两者的区别。播种最细微的种子可以创造更多的波动。天秤座（9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日）：正面交锋并不是取得进步的方式，除非双方对寻找解决方案的承诺高于对获胜的执念。天蝎座（10 月 23 日-11 月 21 日）：这件事交给宇宙处理，现在的任何额外推动都可能被误读，甚至起到反作用。零度以下的星象很少能促成理想的结果，至少在周一之前先将其搁置。射手座（11 月 22 日-12 月 21 日）：理性的声音可能是可闻的，但仅勉强可闻。很容易选错路，请仔细倾听内心深处的真相。摩羯座（12 月 22 日-1 月 19 日）：在目前的星象下，处理财务问题甚至做出决定是一个巨大的“不”字。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）：一种过度消费的冲动可能难以抗拒，但如果你决定可以，你就能做到。让长期目标战胜瞬间的满足感。双鱼座（2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日）：有些障碍的大小取决于你如何看待它们，当然并非所有障碍如此。留意你是否倾向于将事情灾难化。如果你这样做，普通的问题很快就会变得难以收拾。

北家易失分，南家发牌
北家 ♠K 7 3 ♥9 7 5 4 2 ♦9 4 ♣A 5 4 西家 东家 ♠9 ♠Q J 10 8 ♥Q J 10 ♥K 8 6 3 ♦Q 10 8 3 2 ♦J 5 ♣Q 9 7 2 ♣J 10 8 南家 ♠A 6 5 4 2 ♥A ♦A K 7 6 ♣K 6 3
今天的牌局来自近期的一次俱乐部复制赛。所有南北对均达到了 4 ♠ 并在开局时面对 ♥Q 的领牌。大多数庄家在这一合同中失分，因为他们假设王牌呈有利的 3-2 分布（这种情况大约发生三分之二的时间）。他们在假牌中吃掉一张方块之前，先出掉了两张顶级的王牌。这样他们必须失去两个王牌墩、一个方块墩和一个俱乐部墩。
一名庄家则更为谨慎。在触碰王牌之前，他先出掉了方块 A 和 K，并在假牌中吃掉了一张方块。东家过吃并转换到 ♣J。南家在假牌中用 A 赢回，并出掉了王牌 K。随后他在手牌中吃掉一张红心，并在假牌中吃掉最后一张方块。东家同样过吃，但此时防守方只能再拿到一个俱乐部墩，南家成功完成了合同。他用手中的 K 赢回了后续的俱乐部牌，并出掉王牌 A，无论最后一张王牌在谁手中，这都肯定能将其抽走。做得漂亮！这种打法还给南家带来了一个获得超墩的微小机会——这在对局游戏中弥足珍贵。如果两名对手在第三轮方块中都跟牌，南家将在假牌中用一张低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。

击球总监分析 村上为什么“特别”
作者：LaMond Pope 芝加哥论坛报
佛罗里达州圣彼得堡 —— 村上宗隆在击球区展现的独特才华，在周三对阵纽约洋基队的第八局中一次短暂但极具影响力的击球中得到了体现。
这位芝加哥白袜队的一垒手接住了保罗·布莱克本的第一球曲球，将其击飞 404 英尺，飞过左中外野墙，打出了一记扳平比分的主场本垒打。

强力开局未能奏效
作者：Andy Martinez 为 芝加哥论坛报 撰写
可以相当有把握地认为，芝加哥 Cubs 棒球运营总裁 Jed Hoyer 将在周一 MLB 交易截止日期前增加投手助力。
“那个位置是投手的球，早期的曲球向外下沉，”白袜队击球总监 Ryan Fuller 周四在 Rate Field 表示。“他能够盯住棒球并击中那个球的能力非常特别。
“但此外，他拥有身体天赋。挥棒速度，以及能将球击出场外的身体素质。大多数人如果挥击那一球，会击在球棒末端，变成一个飞向游击手的高飞球。
“你能看到村上拥有的特别天赋。
一支在伤员名单上有 13 人的投手阵容，且正全力冲刺十月季后赛的队伍需要增强力量。而且，如果左投手 Imanaga 在周五瑞格利球场 2-0 输给纽约洋基队的比赛中表现得像那样，任何投手的补强都会显得更加令人印象深刻。
科恩的评论

芝加哥熊队教练本·约翰森希望他的球队在半场结束前的最后几分钟里能有更好的表现。
上个赛季，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，但在第二节的局面应对（situational football）方面则没那么成功。
“这是我们重点强调的一个环节，”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，也是首次在有球迷在场的情况下进行的练习。以下是值得关注的重点。
卡莱布·威廉姆斯观察站
熊队上赛季在第四节实现了 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。
2025 年，除了第二节外，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），而失分高达 143 分（场均 8.41 分）。
“我们（周四）晚上作为一支团队讨论了这个问题，而（周五）是我们第一次尝试在半场结束前两分钟的局面下进行训练，”约翰森说道。“一年半以来我一直这么说：只要你强调某件事，通常就会因为这一点而看到好的结果。”
约翰森将他的进攻组置于一场平局且半场结束前还剩 1:37 的模拟场景中。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 码线面对第三次尝试且还剩 3 码（third-and-3）时，通过一次中路跑球成功推进。在传球口袋崩塌导致威廉姆斯被擒杀时，进攻组也克服了这一困难。防守截锋 Gervon Dexter Sr. 似乎是擒杀时距离最近的防守者。防守方两次越位犯规也起到了帮助作用。
对于一支在第四节局面应对如此出色的球队来说，上半场和下半场的差异令人费解。
“我们的队员明白这有多重要，”约翰森说。“如果我们能正确处理半场前的程序，这就是一种在整个比赛过程中可能‘偷到’一次进攻权的办法。当然，我们也希望进入半场休息时的势头能比之前更好。”

以及第三阵容进攻组。
就像去年一样，Johnson 想要考察所有选项。Jones 可能是赢得该位置的首选，但这绝对不是板上钉钉。
Jones 表示，轮换有时会是一个挑战。
“我预料到会是那样，”他说。“归根结底，这就是一场竞争。无论被安置在哪个位置——一阵、二阵还是三阵——你都必须去发挥并证明自己。”
Amegadjie 是一名 2024 年第三轮选秀球员，职业生涯仅首发过一场比赛，他在两分钟演练期间与第一阵容进攻组一起训练。
焦点球员： 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，并努力留在新奥尔良圣徒队的名单边缘。他最终被裁掉，而熊队签下了他，部分原因是防守协调员 Dennis Allen 曾在新奥尔良与 Jackson 共事，但更多是因为他在特勤组的表现。
Jackson 迅速融入了特勤组，而当伤病袭来时，他最终在四场比赛中担任线卫首发，其中包括在对阵匹兹堡钢人队的比赛中完成了 15 次擒抱。在战胜克利夫兰布朗队的比赛中，他贡献了一次拦截和一次擒杀。
当自由球员市场开启时，Jackson 从熊队获得了一份为期两年、价值 $7.5 百万美元的合同。周五，他的头盔上戴着绿点，作为线卫向球队会商传达指令。
事情将如何发展仍有待观察。Devin Bush 是确定的首发。T.J. Edwards 仍处于非足球伤病名单中，球队称其为轻微的右小腿受伤，他的缺阵为 Jackson 和其他人创造了更多练习机会。到目前为止，Jack Sanborn 主要在强侧的基础阵型中出战。在 Edwards康复后，Jackson 可能也会在那个位置获得机会。
毫无疑问，Johnson 非常欣赏 Jackson 在圣徒队防守端没有多少出场时间后，去年为球队带来的贡献。
“每年都有这样的人，你起初对他并不了解，但他们最终会帮助你赢得比赛，”Johnson 说。“在一年多前的赛季关键阶段，他确实做到了。 (Allen) 认识他，他熟悉战术，熟悉防守，所以在这方面他能够迅速进入状态。”
“他在我们在特勤组的工作中也是至关重要的一环。很快就能看出他在队内的状态，以及他与队友沟通的方式，从而知道他非常符合我们的团队形象和工作方式。”
“而且他身上有一点个性。我喜欢他的风度，他的态度。他也是个卡罗来纳男孩，所以 (我们) 有共同的纽带。总之，我对 D’Marco 的评价极高。”
现场速递
在宣布自己的脚踝感觉“极好”的一天后，Rome Odunze 在训练早期的球队环节中完成了一次精彩接球。Odunze 双臂高举过头，接住了 Williams 在中路传来的球。
除了半场结束场景的演练外，熊队还专注于红区进攻。在一次全队训练中，威廉姆斯（Williams）与洛夫兰（Loveland）配合完成了一次达阵。到目前为止，洛夫兰继续展现出让对方防守端感到棘手的能力，就像他在上赛季末表现的那样。
“他拥有很强的多功能性，”杰克逊（Jackson）说道，“他的路线跑得好，动作灵活。他在接球点和接球半径方面表现出色。他是一名出色的全方位球员，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，角卫杰隆·约翰逊（Jaylon Johnson）在端区内拦截了威廉姆斯的传球。当时威廉姆斯再次尝试在边线标记附近通过短传找洛夫兰，而约翰逊预判并拦截了该路线。

二线进攻组的半场结束场景演练因新秀外接手扎维昂·托马斯（Zavion Thomas）的一次干扰接球犯规而受阻。替补四分卫泰森·巴金特（Tyson Bagent）在球场中线附近的 3 档 10 码尝试中未能与外接手斯科蒂·米勒（Scotty Miller）完成配合，这次进攻最终以一次弃踢告终。

利亚姆·科恩（Liam Coen）并不是唯一一个能找到素材给球员们打气，以此证明他们被轻视的 NFL 教练。
“好吧，我们是排名 No. 1 的回归候选者（表现下滑概率最高者），所以我们自己有足够的动力，”本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）周五表示。
约翰逊很清楚，有些人对熊队 2026 年的前景持怀疑态度，因为他们在去年 11-6 的战绩中包含了大量险胜。
这里需要一些背景介绍。杰克逊维尔美洲虎队的教练科恩在本周早些时候在一家杰克逊维尔体育广播电台中提到了威廉姆斯的姓名。这也许是在含蓄地讽刺威廉姆斯所获得的关注，但更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新闻。
“这就是执教杰克逊维尔美洲虎队最棒的地方：你不需要去虚构（激励素材），”科恩在 WJXL 电台直播中说道，“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，然后把它展示在这里。我很想看看是否能看到任何关于杰克逊维尔美洲虎队球员的照片或内容。我想我直接刷过去就好了。”
科恩在直播过程中拿出了手机并浏览了该网站。
“我想我会看到 40 张卡莱布·威廉姆斯（Caleb Williams）的照片，但看不到一张关于（美洲虎）球员的内容，”他说，“所以这太美妙了。我会告诉这些小伙子们，你们认为他们有多烂，而我们将继续前进。”
科恩的言论在社交媒体上引起了威廉姆斯的注意，而这位熊队四分卫很乐于将对方加入到质疑他的名单中。
“他习惯了处理大量关注，所以我对此并不担心，”约翰逊说道。
熊队和美洲虎队将于 12 月 6 日在士兵球场（Soldier Field）相遇，因此无论是感知到的还是真实的轻视，未来还会有很多时间来产生新的摩擦。
伤病与参与情况
跑卫凯尔·莫南盖（Kyle Monangai）连续第二天缺席训练。
共有 7 名球员仍处于非足球相关伤病或身体无法参赛名单中：角卫凯勒·戈登（Kyler Gordon，小腿）、安全卫埃利亚·希克斯（Elijah Hicks，胫骨）、线卫埃德华兹（Edwards，小腿）、基肖恩·埃利奥特（Keyshaun Elliott，背部）和诺亚·塞威尔（Noah Sewell，跟腱）、防守端谢马尔·特纳（Shemar Turner，膝盖）以及进攻截锋奥齐·特拉皮洛（Ozzy Trapilo，膝盖）。

“最好的新秀，”富勒说。“他来到这里，受到了一些打击，必须做出调整。他现在的状态令人难以置信。”
富勒表示，彼得斯的赛季同样是一个“令人难以置信的故事”。
“这不是秘密，当训练营结束他进入球队时，他被要求：‘嘿，你要多触击，并且打出非常好的防守，’”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 击败洋基队的比赛中，通过满垒时的保送关键分结束了比赛。但在进入周五之前的最后 17 次打数中，他没有击中任何安打。
“就像所有这些球员一样，你曾经是全明星，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）我们必须在应对方面做得非常好。他正在努力克服这个问题。”
游击手科尔森·蒙哥马利是经历首个完整大联盟赛季的白袜队球员之一。他在去年 7 月被召回，并在 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前的三项击球指标（打击率 / 上垒率 / 长打率）为 .265 / .336 / .537，面对左投手击出了 8 支本垒打。面对右投手时，他的三项指标为 .195 / .281 / .408，击出了 16 支本垒打。
“左打面对左投是棒球中最难的事情之一，”富勒说。“你正在做一件极其困难的事情，有些球员花了一辈子的时间试图摸索，而你做到了。这是一个优势。我们如何借鉴这种方法并将其调整到面对右投手时呢？”
“他会第一个告诉你，无论投手是谁，我都试图击出一记直线球飞过游击手的头顶，我想‘干掉’那个游击手。所以现在的问题是，我们在身体上如何做出微小的调整，以确保他面对右投时能像面对左投那样保持封闭并紧跟球。”
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（在过去 14 场比赛中打击率为 .288）时说：“这些家伙太令人印象深刻了，他们热爱来到球场并每天相互学习。这是其中至关重要的一环。”
作为未来的重要一员，罗奇·乔洛夫斯基在以 1 号签被选中后不久，就在组织内部留下了深刻印象。
“你听到了所有关于罗奇的赞誉，（并且）在与他共处后，发现一切都是真的——他是个领导者，热爱棒球，热爱与队友打成一片，”富勒说。“在（最近的）夏洛特选秀营中，他请所有被选中的球员吃了一顿牛排晚餐。一个领导者，一个非常酷的家伙，渴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，皮特·克劳-阿姆斯特朗已经证明了自己是目前赛场上最好的外野手。
当芝加哥小熊队的中外野手克劳-阿姆斯特朗还在小联盟时，凯文·基尔迈尔就对他有所耳闻。基尔迈尔曾长期担任坦帕湾光芒队的中外野手，在他 11 个大联盟赛季中赢得了四次金手套奖和一个白金手套奖。他的中外野表现被评为大联盟中最顶尖的行列。
“我听过这家伙——‘PCA, PCA, PCA, 他可能是你的水准’——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，”基尔迈尔告诉《芝加哥论坛报》。“好吧，这家伙很出色。但我需要看到更多。”
在 2024, 他的最后一个大联盟赛季中，一次交易截止日前的变动让他加盟洛杉矶道奇队，这意味着当小熊队在 9 月前往道奇体育场比赛时，基尔迈尔第一次亲眼见证了克劳-阿姆斯特朗的防守。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——而那个版本的表现仅仅是个开始。
在过去的两个赛季里，克劳-阿姆斯特朗将他的防守提升到了另一个水平，去年获得了他的第一个金手套奖，并且凭借 2026 年的表现很可能再次获奖。
“他太不可思议了。如果他继续保持现状，并拥有像我们许多人认为他可能拥有的那样职业生涯，且一切顺利，凭借他目前的数字，他绝对会被讨论为史上最佳之类的人物，”基尔迈尔说。“考虑到他在场上的局数以及他的表现，目前很难反驳他不是最强这一观点。”
“他现在是顶尖的——棒球界最好的防守外野手，在另行通知前，我认为这种情况不会改变。”
先进的指标帮助量化了克劳-阿姆斯特朗在视觉观察之外的顶尖能力。
克劳-阿姆斯特朗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，同时平均覆盖距离最多 (39.8)。在 Statcast era, 这位 24 岁的球员迅速为完成低概率接球设定了标杆。在 7 月 20 日小熊队在瑞格利球场的一场比赛中，克劳-阿姆斯特朗在 5 星级接球次数（以 0-25% 的接球概率衡量）上超过了基尔迈尔，这是自 2016. Statcast 开始追踪数据以来记录的。该指标考虑了时间、覆盖距离和方向。
在超越基尔迈尔后的几天里，克劳-阿姆斯特朗进一步增加了他的纪录。截至周二，克劳-阿姆斯特朗在仅 1,123 个局数中就完成了 35 5 次接球，在 5 星级球上的成功率高达 54.7%。基尔迈尔在 2,118 个局数中记录了 32 5 次接球，不过该数据不包括他的

大联盟前两个赛季，当时他是右外野金手套奖候选人 (2014) 并在中外野赢得了他的第一个金手套奖 (2015)。
当基尔迈尔上周得知克劳-阿姆斯特朗打破了他的 5 星级接球纪录时，他回顾了自己的职业生涯，一些出色的表现，以及他对自己完美主义的要求。
“当我看到这样的东西时，我会说我希望我也能回到场上去，把一些球抢回来，而不是坐在这里说‘原本可以’、‘应该’、‘要是’，但伙计，这是我的敬意，” 36 岁的基尔迈尔说。“我看到了他的局数与我的对比以及接球数，他在覆盖范围方面非常惊人，他从 A 点到 B 点的速度极快，能做出很多其他球员甚至无法接近的接球，所以小熊队的球迷和小熊队的投手们太幸福了。”
“你想要观众的‘喔’和‘啊’的惊叹，当你拥有像他那样的技能组时，就像在说：‘嘿，请尽可能把球传给我或传到我的区域，然后看着吧。’他非常擅长完成进攻并做出 5 星级接球以及所有其他中间状态的接球。”
克劳-阿姆斯特朗的 OAA 值为 59。
基尔迈尔（Kiermaier）苦笑着承认，他内心好胜的一面并不想承认克劳-阿姆斯特朗（Crow-Armstrong）是一个更好的防守者。
“但按照他现在的发展轨迹，他的数据将会突破天际，”基尔迈尔说。“现在是他的舞台，他可以随心所欲地描绘出自己想要的蓝图。”
当基尔迈尔在球场外野区奔跑时，他会祈祷如果投手不能让击球手三振，那么球一定要飞向他，尤其是在牺牲飞球的情况下，防守能否阻止得分就取决于外野手。基尔迈尔认为克劳-阿姆斯特朗拥有同样的心态，并补充说心态就决定了成功的一半。
“他具备这种心态，同时也拥有所有的身体素质，”基尔迈尔说。“我的意思是，他在各方面都是顶尖的，对他球场上的表现我十分尊重。”
基尔迈尔的大联盟职业生涯是围绕着他的防守而建立的。
在 2024 赛季退役后，他在 2025 年为多伦多蓝鸟队工作。在春季训练期间，他每周花四天时间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球队花时间。在这次经历之后，基尔迈尔希望扩大自己的影响力，利用自己在防守方面的名声，帮助大联盟组织中任何级别的外野手。他在休赛期受此启发创建了“3-9 Effect”，成为一名外野顾问，旨在建立外野投球计划，传授如何接击球练习球等知识，以期彻底改变外野防守。
“我知道自己的进攻状态如何，我需要人们给我很多关于进攻方面的指导；而我观察年轻的外野手和那些在防守上还没开窍的球员，”基尔迈尔说。“让我告诉你们我们是如何思考和操作的，这样我就能在这个过程中获得乐趣。”
克劳-阿姆斯特朗和基尔迈尔这些年来一直通过短信交流，基尔迈尔偶尔会发一条“你太不可思议了”或“这些接球总是让我惊叹”。他们从未见过面，基尔迈尔希望有一天能够实现。有时他会从他的哥哥——小熊队首席场地管理员丹（Dan）那里听到，克劳-阿姆斯特朗让他想起了基尔迈尔。
目前，他将继续关注克劳-阿姆斯特朗在外野完成的那些精彩表现。
“PCA（克劳-阿姆斯特朗）太不可思议了，在未来的许多年里他都将是顶尖的，”基尔迈尔说。“我想我们在 10, 12 年后还可以聊这个话题，到那时我会说，天呐，我竟然没预料到他能做到这一切。他值得现在获得的所有赞誉和认可，因为防守是有等级之分的，而他处于最高等级。”

“他能够相当频繁且具有竞争力地投出分叉球，以及他面对左打球员时所展现的能力，那个沉球，看起来非常精彩，”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，但他表现得太出色了。”
今永的正向记录中唯一的瑕疵——分别在第四局和第五局被阿梅德·罗萨里奥（Amed Rosario）和斯宾塞·琼斯（Spencer Jones）击出的两支个人全垒打——成为了周五比赛胜负的关键。而小熊队的打线则被洋基队的右投手威尔·沃伦（Will Warren）所压制，他在 6 2 / 3 局中完成了 7 次三振。在周五之前，小熊队在全大联盟的保送数排名第一（473 次），但此次未能获得一次保送，这在本赛季中仅发生了 3 次。
“我认为，任何时候只要有人能面对我们投出 27 个出局数且我们没有一次保送，就意味着对方表现得非常好，且他们的各种球路都发挥得很好，”考塞尔（Counsell）说。“他可以在任何时候投出变速球。在关键球和决定性球数时，他的速球位置控制得很好。他投了一场好球。”
小熊队预计在周一的截止日期前会采取积极行动，但如果在先发轮值顶部增加一名投手与今永搭档，可能会带来巨大的提升，尤其是如果这位左投手能延续目前的趋势。他本赛季的防御率为 3.67，自全明星赛休息日以来的 3 次先发中仅失 2 分（防御率 0.92）。
“不确定会发生什么，但我很期待，”今永通过翻译表示。“我们的先发投手在赛前会进入牛棚，互相观察，热身，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，我期待能认识他，并在休息区一起分享关于投球的想法。”
在系列赛开赛前，小熊队又将一名投手列入了伤兵名单。右投手加文·霍洛威尔（Gavin Hollowell）因右肩发炎被列入 15 天伤兵名单。球队从 Triple-A 艾奥瓦队召回了左投手安托万·凯利（Antoine Kelly），他是一位芝加哥本地人，毕业于缅因东（Maine East）。
在周四的系列赛收官战中，小熊队 4-2 击败圣路易斯红雀队，霍洛威尔在第八局投出了零失分局，但在随后的复原过程中，他难以在出场后迅速恢复状态。
“所以这是一个非常明确的信号，我们需要暂时按下暂停键，”考塞尔在赛前表示。“我认为这并非严重的受伤。他需要休息，我觉得他会没事的。即使不能在最短时间内回归，我认为也快了。”
凯利完成了他的大联盟首秀，投了 1 1 / 3 局零失分，并通过三振洋基队强棒本·赖斯（Ben Rice）摆脱了第八局两名跑者在垒的困境，完成了职业生涯的第一次三振。
周五的名单变动可能是未来几天繁忙状态的预演，届时将有新面孔步入瑞格利球场（Wrigley Field）的主场更衣室。周一的截止日期是小熊队能为阵容增加有意义的外部球员的最后一天。由于球队目前持有国家联盟（NL）外卡席位的首位，且落后于国家联盟中区密尔沃基酿造者队 6 场比赛，这是从外部提升阵容的最后机会。当然，内部人员的回归也可能支撑起投手阵容。
终结者丹尼尔·帕伦西亚（Daniel Palencia）预计将于周六在瑞格利球场面对打者，之后可能会进入康复训练，这意味着在几周内回归是有可能的。贾斯汀·斯蒂尔（Justin Steele）也回到了芝加哥，并计划在周六进行投手丘投球。
右投手爱德华多·卡布雷拉（Edward Cabrera）原定于周五在艾奥瓦队进行康复出赛，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到小熊队的牛棚。
“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团体。机遇就摆在我们面前。”

科里·西格尔 (Corey Seager) 周五从伤病名单中激活，与此同时，德州游骑兵队在与休斯顿太空人队进行关键系列赛之前还进行了其他几次人员变动。这位 32 岁的西格尔因腰部炎症缺席了最近 23 场比赛。本周早些时候，他在为 AA 级弗里斯科队 (Frisco) 进行的 2 场康复赛中 5 打 1 安打并击飞一根本垒打，随后在 7 月 1 日后首次回归球队。西格尔本赛季仅出战 51 场。他曾在 6 月 15 日因脑震荡被列入七天伤病名单并缺席 12 场，在此之前，他在 5 月 15 日因背部炎症缺阵 19 场。本赛季他在游骑兵队的打击率为 .182，击出 10 根本垒打，贡献 25 次打点。游骑兵队进入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，右投手蔡斯·希尔塞斯 (Chase Silseth) 在周三从天使队交易过来后报到球队，并被添加到活跃名单中。
主教练乔·埃斯帕达 (Joe Espada) 周五在三场系列赛开始前表示，由于该右投手在上次先发中表现挣扎，辰矢今井 (Tatsuya Imai) 将在与游骑兵队的周末系列赛中担任牛棚投手。埃斯帕达表示，目前他预计这一变动仅限于本次系列赛。
在周五开始交易截止日前的最后一场系列赛之际，老虎队从小联盟征召了备受重视的外野新秀马克斯·克拉克 (Max Clark)，并取消了凯西·迈兹 (Casey Mize) 的预定先发。

托尼·罗莫在被指控酒后驾车并于上周被捕后，已被暂停其在 CBS NFL 报道中的首席分析师职务。CBS 体育周五宣布，这位前达拉斯牛仔队四分卫将休假“直至另行通知”。在罗莫缺席期间，JJ 瓦特将与吉姆·南茨和特雷西·沃尔夫森共同组成 CBS 体育的 NFL 首席报道团队。罗莫，46, 于 7 月 23 日在威斯康星州 43 号州际公路向南行驶时被拦截并被捕。根据密尔沃基县警长办公室的报告，罗莫在现场清醒度测试中表现不佳，随后被拘留、登记并释放。他的出庭日期定在 9 月 21. CBS 体育的公告是在密尔沃基县警长办公室发布的传票显示，在罗莫的黑色吉普车被拖走前的清单检查中，在其乘客侧发现了一瓶打开的酒精饮料之后发布的。根据传票，警察在看到罗莫在 gore area（分道区，即将州际公路主线与入口匝道车辆分开的区域）超车后将其拦截。警方表示，罗莫在拦截过程中询问什么是 gore area。

芝加哥 —— 全美近 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零散的历史进程中一个重大的里程碑。
女性职业棒球联盟（Women’s Pro Baseball League）也是一个可以追溯到该运动初期的时间线的一部分。
“女性一直在这个游戏中，”国际女性棒球中心（International Women’s Baseball Center）首席执行官 Kat Williams 表示，“我们一直在打球，一直在担任裁判，一直在执教。”
“而且在 17 世纪最早的一些关于类似棒球比赛的记载中，参与比赛的就是女性。”
接下来的焦点是 WPBL，该联盟将于周六进行首场比赛。第一年共有四支球队 —— 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都将在伊利诺伊州斯普林菲尔德的罗宾·罗伯茨体育场（Robin Roberts Stadium）举行。
该球场可容纳 5,200, 名观众。在 11, 1875 年 9 月，当“金发女团”（Blondes）对阵“棕发女团”（Brunettes）时，斯普林菲尔德主办了最早的女性付费比赛之一。
Kelsie Whitmore、Mo’ne Davis 和 Ayami Sato 是预计将在该联盟首个赛季出战的明星球员。在七局制的比赛中，每支球队将拥有 15 名活跃球员。
“太棒了。这是我们一直希望发生的事情之一，但我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（Society for American Baseball Research）女性棒球委员会主席 Leslie Heaphy 说道，“这是合适的，是必要的，而且，是的，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盟是全美女子职业棒球联盟（All-American Girls Professional Baseball League）。该联盟在电影《她们的联盟》（A League of Their Own）中被永恒定格，其运行时间为 1943-54 年。
AAGPBL 在第二次世界大战期间起初是一个垒球联盟，随后转变为棒球联盟。Jean Faut、Doris Sams 和 Dottie Kamenshek 曾是该联盟最优秀的球员。1948, 年在 AAGPBL 投球的 Maybelle Blair 目前在 WPBL 的顾问委员会中。
“最初启动时，它并没打算在 1945 年之后继续运行，但它一直持续到 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（Kent State-Stark）副教授 Heaphy 表示。
“这说明了参与者的决心，我认为这也充分说明了球迷的兴趣。”
好莱坞激发了对女性棒球的重新关注
在 AAGPBL 停止运营后，又过了 40 年 —— 在电影《她们的联盟》取得票房成功之后 —— 对女性职业棒球的兴趣才重新出现。
从 1994-97, 年，名人堂投手 Phil Niekro 执教了一支全女性职业球队“科罗拉多银色子弹队”（Colorado Silver Bullets），该队在全国巡回比赛，对阵男子的业余和半职业球队。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州。前大联盟强击手 Bobby Bonds 和 George Foster 曾参与 1990 年代中期在佛罗里达州成立的另一个短命联盟。
双子队周五从大都会队获得左投救援投手 A.J. Minter，交换筹码为小联盟内野手 Bruin Agbayani 和 Billy Amick，在交易截止日期前加强了单薄的牛棚。19 岁的 Agbayani 是前大都会队球迷宠儿 Benny Agbayani 之子，是一名中场内野手，本赛季在低 A 级 Fort Myers 队的 10 场比赛中打击率为 .268。这位来自夏威夷的 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 Double-A Wichita 队出战 86 场，击球率为 .217 并击出 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 局中拥有 2.35 的防御率，贡献 20 次三振且仅有两次保送。他直到 5 月 26 日才完成本赛季首秀，两次大联盟出场之间隔了一年多。他在 2025 年赛季在出场 13 次后因背部左背阔肌受伤需要手术而赛季报销。Minter 在 2025 年与大都会队签署了一份为期两年、价值 $22 million 的合同。他在 2024 年效力于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末段左投手之一。
AAGPBL 与 WPBL
共同关注营销
根据棒球名人堂的记录，裙子是 AAGPBL 球员制服的一部分，且她们被要求参加魅力学校。当时强调女性化和“淑女”行为。
WPBL 则遍布社交媒体，在寻求门票和商品销售的同时，详细介绍球员的背景。
“我们知道在 40 年代和 50 年代这是事实，当时人们倾向于因为地点而关注球队，然后才是球员。而现在他们关注的是球员，对吧？这就是人们现在的做法，”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。
“他是一个营销专家，他知道必须这样做，”马歇尔大学荣休教授 Williams 说道，他与 Heaphy 一同在 WPBL 顾问委员会任职。“他知道必须有一个形象，对吧？”
“我的意思是，任何形式的新尝试都是如此。你必须塑造一个形象。我希望人们在 WPBL 身上看到的形象是，她们是运动员。她们是优秀的运动员。她们是强而有力的女性，才华横溢且聪明。我认为这就是我们要传递的信息。”
AAGPBL 最大的遗产之一与女性在球员生涯结束后所取得的成就相关。其中几位女性进入研究生院并获得了高级学位。她们在担任要职的同时，将她们视野的开阔归功于该联盟让她们看到了可能性。
在首发接球手 Ricky Pearsall 因膝伤缺阵后，49 人队正将前 All-Pro 球员 Deebo Samuel 带回球队开启第二次效力期。Samuel 周四同意签署一份最高价值 $7 million 的一年期合同重返 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 码的冲球码数和 14 次触地得分。Samuel 在 2025 年以一个第五轮选秀权被交易至指挥官队，上赛季在指挥官队完成了 72 次接球，获得 727 码和 5 次触地得分。他在 3 月成为自由球员，现在将加入 49 人队，在 Pearsall 缺阵期间提供增强力量。Samuel 职业生涯共有 406 次接球，获得 5,519 码和 27 次触地得分，一直是 NFL 中接球后最动态的球员之一。自 2019 年以来，他在接球后的平均推进距离为 8.7 码，在所有接球次数至少 100 次的接球手位居第一。在 97 场职业比赛中，他还冲球获得 1,218 码和 21 次触地得分。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 准备带领 胡希尔人队 捍卫冠军
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“潜心防范自满”，以确保在策划了大学橄榄球历史上最令人瞩目的反转之一后，球队不会出现冠军后的懈怠。
在 Cignetti 到任前的三年里，该项目 9-27。在他接手后，他在前两个赛季均带领球队进入了大学橄榄球季后赛，包括赢得 2025 年全国冠军。
他希望自己的项目能够保持在向上攀升过程中所具备的竞争力。
“我们有一套做事的方式，”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球。”
在 Cignetti 领导下，印第安纳大学令人震惊的两年征程，已经让这支传统的 Big Ten 边缘球队摆脱了历史上失利次数最多的碗赛分区（Bowl Subdivision）项目的地位。
这一令人尴尬的荣誉现在属于会议竞争对手西北大学。
显然，胡希尔人队拥有比这更高的长期目标。
他们希望在失去赢得海斯曼奖（Heisman Trophy）的四分卫 Fernando Mendoza 后继续保持势头。Mendoza 在印第安纳大学度过唯一的赛季后，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。他是该校创纪录的 8 名被选秀球员之一。
“我们需要确保进入今年时，我们保持与去年相同的蓝图，这包括保持同样的工作伦理，”进攻截锋 Carter Smith 表示。
印第安纳大学在引进全国顶尖的转会门户（transfer portal）人才方面做得非常出色，成功补充了阵容。
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 和前密歇根州大学接球手 Nick Marsh。
Marsh 较早地体会到了 Cignetti 这种不苟言笑的方式：这位前 Spartans 球员在一次春季训练中穿了一双金色球鞋，结果遭到了新教练的批评。此后，Cignetti 表扬了 Marsh 的工作习惯，后者在过去两个赛季中接球 100 次，获得 1,311 码和 9 次达阵。
印第安纳大学能否连续第三次获得季后赛门票，可能取决于 Hoover。他在过去三年中传球 9,627 码，获得 71 次达阵和 33 次拦截。他面临着巨大的挑战。
“Fernando 的独特之处在于，当比赛进入关键时刻，那些第四节的胜利，最后的三四分钟，那是他发挥最出色的时候，”Cignetti 说道。
只要 Cignetti 继续留任，印第安纳大学可能即将确立其年度竞争者的地位，因为胡希尔人队在转会门户成功之后，又在高中招募中取得了进展。在过去的两周里，印第安纳大学获得了 2027 年五星级接球手 Monshun Sales 和备受关注的 2028 年四分卫 Lukas Prock 的口头承诺。
Cignetti 现在更专注于确保目前的球队为捍卫冠军做好准备。防守锋线球员 Tyrique Tucker 被问到，以被猎物而非猎人的身份进入赛季感觉如何。
“我们的准备方式让我们不会觉得自己在被猎杀，”Tucker 说道。“我们的准备状态就像是掠食者，而且我们很饥渴。最终，我们依然带着那种好胜心。”
Big Ten 的媒体可能在这一方面给了 Tucker 和他的队友们一些动力。Cleveland.com 对记者的一项调查（该调查作为非官方的 Big Ten 季前媒体预测）认为，卫冕全国冠军的球队将在分区中排名第三，落后于俄亥俄州大学和俄勒冈大学。
在去年夺冠之路上击败了俄亥俄州大学和俄勒冈大学后，Cignetti 清楚地意识到未来的挑战。Cignetti 曾在 2007-10 年期间担任阿拉巴马大学的助理教练，他在周四的新闻发布会结束时解释了为什么他认为 Big Ten 是大学橄榄球最好的分会。
“我们在中西部这里不搞那种炒作噱头，” Cignetti 说道。“我们相信一切都应该是凭努力赢得的，而不是天赐的。 当我们失利时，我们会说：‘我们失利了。’我们不会大肆哭诉，也不会抱怨。这就是为什么我们是最强的。”

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”).

$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

on Israeli pullout
in Gaza
Hamas promises to disarm if terms met
By Samy Magdy,
Sam Mednick,
Jonathan J. Cooper
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.
During the hearing, Batt aglia’s family members described her as an old soul and a true friend, willing to

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.

take a week off and drive from Los Angeles to Chicago with her cousin who was moving in what was a major life transition. 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.
prosecutors 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.

accountability like a man, I panicked.”
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.
and for its principles. “What America stands for,” he said, “the sense of freedom, the sense of opportunity, the sense of having invited for generations people from around the world to be part of America.”
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.
“You have done a lot of work while you’ve been in custody to try and address some of the demons that have plagued you, that brought you to this point — or that point — on that date, that robbed that family of their family members,” Ogarek said.
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.

and multiple knives, prose cutors said.
“I am so mad at you,” Battaglia’s birth mother, Michelle Deaton, said tear fully, turning to face Silva.
She told Silva that Batta glia loved him, and thought she could change him throughout the course of their turbulent relationship.

followed by a mandatory two-year period of parole. Sutton will receive credit for the just over three years he has already spent incarcer ated.
“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.
In a statement Thurs- day, an Israeli official said that there will be no Israeli
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.”

By Michael Peregrine SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE
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

Underground appeared in June. The Roll ing Stones, The Beach Boys and the Dave Clark Five all performed July shows at the Arie Crown Theater in old McCormick Place. 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

Cost of a card
Jean Smoots rightly complains (“Voice of the People“, July 29) about the cost of mail ing a birthday card. But do you remember, as I do, when the card itself cost a quarter rather than the current $5 or $6? — Rick Weiland, Evanston
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
Coffee: Up nearly 35% since the start of 2025

to No. 1 later that year. The Cryan’ Shames, from Hinsdale, hit with “Sugar and Spice.” And the garage band and DePaul connec tions of Terry Kath, Danny Seraphine, Walt Parazaider, and Lee Loughnane would soon lead them to form the band first known as The Chicago Transit Authority.
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. Their pock et-sized weekly reports, the “Silver Dollar Survey” and the “Sound 10 Survey,” kept fans up to date on the latest hit records. With concert sponsorships, great promotions, MC gigs and a collection of engaging DJs, their competition fueled the music. Clark Weber in the morning, young Larry Lujack.

Give space
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.
It’s “going to be a stab in the back for what remains of our economy.”

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.
The states — Idaho, Loui siana, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah — all have Republi can governors who say they welcome the chance to help America reclaim its lead ership in civilian nuclear energy.

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.”

Spent fuel is stored at nuclear plants and former nuclear sites nationwide and is piling up. New storage sites would move the radioactive material away from popula tion centers, fault lines and flood plains. Experts say the plan also should help officials gain consent from communi ties that will host the repos itories.

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.

generation and data centers, the Energy Department said.
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.”

Most successful compa nies take on investors, are acquired or sell shares through an initial public offering.

“For decades we have taught founders they have only two options: Sell out, or let investors slowly take the wheel,” said Eric Ries, an entrepreneur and author who studies alternate forms of corporate governance. “These transactions show a third way is possible: an enduring company built around a long-term mission.”
Smith is also a regular donor to Republican candi dates and conservative polit ical action committees, but politics is not his passion, and he said he did not want Grady-White’s profits to flow to political causes.

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.
Two commercial courts in the cities of Bordeaux and Libourne reported a 37% increase in business liquida tions from June 2025 to the same month this year, he noted.

facilities must take depend ing on the potential dose of radiation to workers.
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

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.
The next generation of electricians is also top of mind for the artificial intel ligence companies spend ing hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure they have enough people to build and run their data centers.
That commitment includes this training facil ity, which is one of 270 supported by a partnership between the International

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.

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.

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.

‘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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“Green Light,” “Supercut,” “Perfect Places” and “Team” became anthems of youthful rest lessness and abandon; joy and discovery. A surprise (though was it?) appearance from fellow week end headliner Charli xcx for the “Girl, So Confusing” remix from 2024’s “BRAT” further brought the 12 years of her career into focus. It is so confusing sometimes to be a girl.

than I feel like you were ever able to before,” Hoffner said. “Before, I would find them because it was like Tumblr, then it was Insta gram, then it was TikTok and Vine and whatever else. But now I just feel like Spotify is the main reason I find people these days.”
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, 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.”

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.

Director of hitting weighs in on what makes Murakami ‘special’

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Mune taka Murakami’s unique talents at the plate were on display during a short but impactful at-bat in the eighth inning Wednesday against the New York Yankees.

“That location is a pitcher’s pitch, early curveball down and away,” Sox director of hitting Ryan Fuller said Thursday at Rate Field. “His abil ity to stay on the baseball and stay through that pitch is so special.
“But then it’s the physical gifts he has too. The bat speed, the physi cality to be able to hit the ball out of the park. Most guys, if they swing at that, it’s hit off the end, a pop-up to the shortstop.

Murakami was one of three players to represent the Sox at the All-Star Game with third baseman Miguel Vargas and center fielder Tristan Peters. Vargas’ progress since joining the Sox in a July 2024 trade is an example Fuller uses for players throughout the organiza tion.

“I thought (he) was excellent,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after the loss. “You get outs in the seventh inning, you’re having a good start. You give up two runs, and you get outs in the seventh inning, that’s a good start.”
The length of the outing wasn’t the only impressive aspect of Imanaga’s day. It was how he did it.
Wright made it clear Friday that’s good by him.
While some teams deal with hold-ins — players who report for training camp but don’t practice as they seek a new contract — there’s not even that level of low-key drama at Halas Hall, where the Bears wrapped up their third practice of camp Friday morning.

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.
Isabel Harrison (personal) and Skylar Diggins (knee) did not play for the Sky, whose next game is Saturday against the Las Vegas Aces at Wintrust Arena (noon, CBS-2).
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. He was placed on the seven-day IL on June 15 with a concussion and missed 12 games before dealing with back inflammation on May 15 that kept him out for 19 games. He is batting .182 with 10 homers and 25 RBIs for the Rangers this season. The Rangers enter the week end series in first place in the AL West and 1/2 game ahead of the Astros. Also
Friday, right-handed pitcher Chase Silseth reported to the team and was added to the active roster after a Wednesday trade from the Angels.
Tatsuya Imai will pitch out of the bullpen for the Astros’ weekend series against the Rangers, manager Joe Espada said Friday before the start of the three-game set after the right-hander struggled in his last start. Espada said that for now he expects the move to just be for this series.
up prized outfield prospect Max Clark from the minor leagues and scratched Casey Mize from his scheduled start as they began their final series before the trade dead line Friday.

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.”
