海地人被裁员，动荡在即

随着美国国土安全部结束保护计划，机场、养老院和学校正准备应对

作者：LAUREN KAONE / GREATY, NATHY FOSTER PEAR 和 DREMI NARAMUNA

美国国土安全部本周提醒雇主，已正式结束对约 200,000 名海地移民的人道主义保护，这引发了大规模裁员，威胁到东海岸沿线及中西部地区大批关键机构和行业的常规运行及稳定性。

行业和工会领导人表示，养老院解雇了数百名员工，包括护理助理、饮食助手和管家。据服务工程师国际联盟（Service Employees International Union）的工会领导人称，在包括佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡和波士顿在内的机场，承包商裁减了大量海地籍员工，包括清洁工、视频清理员和轮椅接送员。

工会官员表示，在佛罗里达州的学校，园林绿化工人、巴士司机和其他员工被解雇；在纽约市，由于对其能否继续工作的资格产生混淆，数十名保安在被解雇后受伤。

这些运输指令涉及一项复杂的法律程序，美国最高法院已允许特朗普政府取消这项被称为临时保护身份 (TPS) 的人道主义计划，这可能剥夺其身份。 详见 A4A 页

西班牙出现移民潮引发愤怒

视频显示数千名摩洛哥人冲击北非的一个前哨阵地

作者：ANTHONY FASCIA 和 IMAGEN POPER

罗马 —— 大批移民突然抵达西班牙在北非的飞地，引发了在大西洋两岸针对首相佩德罗·桑切斯的新一轮政治攻击。西班牙、德国、意大利和法国的右翼人士，以及白宫也加入了其中，猛烈抨击欧洲在任的领先威胁。

西班牙官员表示，在过去的 24 小时内，近 50,000 名移民冲向西班牙领土，通过游泳或翻越冰冻地带进入这座人口 50,000. 人的小型前哨阵地。该地距离西班牙本土数英里，可通过一小时的轮渡抵达。其中大多数人随后被遣返。西班牙当局表示，在休达的混乱冲突中，至少 27 人死亡。

随着拥挤的人群画面通过社交媒体迅速传播，西班牙方面做出回应，周四下令部署军队以维持秩序。周五，西班牙加强了安保和边境部队，摩洛哥则部署水炮将移民推回。

移民被遣返的速度几乎与他们抵达的速度一样快。西班牙内政部表示，到周五当地时间晚上 8 点左右，已有 60,000 多人通过坦赫尔口岸被送回摩洛哥，该口岸位于休达与摩洛哥的边境。

这次非正规抵达人数的突然激增——远高于由叙利亚内战引发的 2032 年移民危机期间的记录——在整个欧洲政治光谱中引发了愤怒。根据西班牙内政部的数据，相比之下，今年前六个月通过陆路抵达休达和另一个西班牙飞地梅里利亚的移民仅有 3,000 人。在 2001 年，高峰时段每天约有 11,000 名移民进入欧盟领土。

这次冲击引发了关于 2032 年的一份报告的猜测，当时西班牙与摩洛哥之间的紧张局势导致摩洛哥方面放宽了边境管控，使得 8,000 名移民在两天内进入休达。

相关人士公开指责人口贩子，称其是在响应最高法院近期的一项裁决，该裁决认为通过海路抵达休达或梅里利亚的移民不能在没有正当程序的情况下被简易遣返。

西班牙媒体在现场采访的移民表示，他们在看到手机和社交媒体网络上的消息后采取行动，这些消息暗示边境已经“开放”，他们的通过将不会受到阻碍。

伊朗财政负担日益沉重

美国袭击导致经济遭受重创

政权在停电与短缺中坚守

作者：BENJANAH GEORGE

在唐纳德·特朗普总统采取行动袭击关键基础设施后，广泛的短缺和停电表明，美国对 伊朗 的袭击所带来的经济影响已经增加。

数月以来，尽管面临数千次攻击以及美国军队为期一周的海上封锁，伊朗人报告的改变经济局面的干扰相对较少。但这种情况在过去一个月发生了变化，随着美国袭击引发停电、水资源和燃料短缺以及贸易增速放缓，分析师称这些因素正在抑制产出并加剧昂贵的不确定性。

分析师认为，虽然扩大后的经济损失可能会使更多数以百万计的伊朗人陷入贫困，但增加的压力并未转化为外交进展。伊朗领导人坚称他们比美国能更持久、更深入地承受经济压力，并继续警告反对妥协。

“这场战争的方程式很清晰：要么全部，要么全部失去，”伊朗首席谈判代表兼议长 穆罕默德·巴格尔·加利巴夫 上周在 X 的帖子中表示，“如果我们的安全得不到保证，那么没有任何基础设施是安全的。”

在本月，由于两国在 4 月份达成的停火协议崩溃，且伊朗袭击了 霍尔木兹海峡 的航运，美国军队恢复了对 伊朗 的大规模袭击。如果谈判未能取得进展。

下一场堕胎之战围绕 堪萨斯州 最高法院展开

选民将决定是否用直接选举取代一个近 70 年历史的任命制度

作者：PIERRE MARLEY

堪萨斯州，格雷特本德 —— 一场关于州最高法院的全美争端正在 堪萨斯州 升级。选民将于周二决定是否用直接选举取代该州拥有 69 年历史的法官任命制度——这一改变可能会影响未来关于堕胎、公民权利以及其他重大议题的裁决。

关于 堪萨斯州 最高法院的争端反映了自 美国最高法院 终结联邦宪法规定的堕胎权，并将党派操纵选区之争置于联邦法官管辖范围之外以来，州法院日益增长的重要性。

“州最高法院正在做以前联邦最高法院所做的事情——不同之处在于，你可以通过选举来操纵州最高法院的组成，”印第安纳大学法学教授 Charles Geyh 表示，他曾撰写大量关于州最高法院的著作。

堪萨斯州的这次投票将决定该州是直接选举法官，还是使用 19 世纪在一次政治丑闻后采用的基于北方的任命系统。

将该项措施列入选票的共和党人表示，选民应直接选择谁在法院任职；而反对者则认为，这是为了安装那些将撤销共和党不认可裁决的法官。

该法院近期给予了保守派一些胜利，例如保护寻求宗教豁免以避开新冠肺炎疫苗接种要求的工人，以及收紧投票程序。但法院在其他案件中也让共和党感到沮丧，例如要求增加更多公共教育资金的裁决，以及保障堕胎权的裁决。

共和党试图推翻州法院关于堕胎的裁决。

如果你想在漫长的一天后屏蔽外界干扰并放松身心，你可能会选择浏览社交媒体、在线购物或在手机上玩游戏。但一项新研究表明，这些活动实际上可能会让你压力更大。

周三发表在《PLOS One》杂志上的一项研究发现，“问题性”互联网用户压力更大，情绪更低落，并且比其他人更容易受到使用互联网的诱惑。研究人员将“问题性互联网使用”定义为引起显著痛苦，或导致“忽视人际关系或工作等生活重要领域”的行为。

但人们是因为心情更糟糕而更多地使用互联网，还是因为更多地在网上活动而导致心情更糟糕？

“这看起来像是一个恶性循环，”在德国开展该研究的作者之一、杜伊斯堡-埃森大学（University of Dussberg-Essen）心理学博士生安德烈亚斯·奥勒（Andreas Oeller）表示。“如果你心情不好，你会尝试通过使用互联网来提升心情，但这并没有太大帮助。于是，你就越来越多地使用它。”

为什么我们通过互联网来缓解压力

互联网充满了诱惑，应用程序的设计旨在吸引我们的注意力。《华盛顿邮报》的一项分析显示，TikTok 通过提供无尽的个性化短视频流来捕捉用户。其中一些视频可能具有娱乐性或启发性，但用户每天在应用上花费的时间往往远超其预期，而且由于内容源源不断，很难停下来。

“你可能会期待通过观看搞笑视频或其他内容来改善心情。而这在短期内确实有帮助，”杜斯堡-埃森大学的博士后研究员及该研究共同作者 Killa Müller 说道。

该研究还指出，问题在于社交媒体上除了搞笑视频之外还有许多其他内容。你很可能会遇到令人压力巨大的新闻，或者来自熟人的动态，从而导致痛苦的社交比较。

有时在看手机后你可能会感到放松，而其他时候则可能感觉更糟。研究人员还注意到，你在网上花费的时间越多，错过从事运动、爱好、社交或工作等活动的机会就越多。

在这项研究中，研究人员采访了 300 人，了解他们在游戏、观看色情内容、购物和浏览社交媒体方面的上网习惯。他们的上网行为被分类为“非问题型”、“风险型”或“病理性”。那些因为长时间上网而忽视人际关系或其他活动、难以控制自己的行为，或在面对负面后果时仍坚持上网的人，被认为是问题用户。

随后在接下来的 16 天里，参与者每晚就当天的状态、心情、压力水平和上网时间回答调查问卷。非问题用户可能会在

“看来我们陷入了一个恶性循环。如果你心情不好，你会尝试通过上网来提升情绪，但这并没有太大帮助。于是你就越来越多地使用它。”

该研究作者之一的 Andreas Oeller 说道。

社交媒体应用或在线游戏网站上花费一小时，而问题用户可能会花费两到四小时甚至更多。但研究人员强调，如果一个人觉得能够控制自己的行为，且没有因此忽视其他活动，那么上网时间长短并不一定是个问题。

研究人员发现，问题用户的情绪较低，且其互联网使用导致其忽视了工作、学习甚至个人卫生等其他活动。

该研究的一个局限性在于它依赖于自我报告的数据，这要求参与者能够准确回忆一整天中的感受以及如何使用互联网。

另一个值得注意的结论是，研究人员发现，浏览互联网的诱惑力比在网上花费时间所获得的快感更强。有时它会让人们感觉好转，而其他时候则适得其反。

“我不推荐将此作为提升心情的最佳活动，”Oeller 说道。

为什么难以脱离网络

在线游戏和社交媒体之所以如此吸引人，部分原因是其奖励是不一致的。有时你赢了（你看到了搞笑视频）；有时你没赢（你最终感到不安，或看到让你心情更糟的图像）。

“不确定性令人兴奋，”芝加哥大学布斯商学院的行为科学教授 Ayeler Fishback 说道。在她和同事的研究中，他们发现人们认为不确定的奖励更具激励性——尽管我们通常不喜欢不确定性，但我们渴望看到结果。

在游戏中，不确定性是吸引力的一部分。社交媒体本身也具有不确定性，并且它利用了人类社交的需求。

“渴望，以及对错过的恐惧。而且没有任何停止的信号，”Fishback 说道。“社交媒体的每一项屏幕功能在设计之初就是为了让我们上瘾。”

如果你想减少上网时间

Fishback 及其新研究的参与者指出，如果你想减少上网时间，可以尝试一些有效的策略。

思考一下你想用这段时间做什么。如果你每天花三四个小时在社交媒体上或玩网络游戏，决定你更想把这段时间花在什么地方。制定一个计划，比如与朋友共进晚餐、参加健身课或观看一部一直想看的电影。向你想要的目标迈进，会比仅仅尝试不去用手机更具动力。

在你和设备之间制造距离。Fishback 表示，我们低估了环境在多大程度上影响我们的行为。

“查看已经放在办公桌上的手机，比查看放在手提包里的手机可能性大得多，”Fishback 说道。“如果手机在另一个房间，走过去所需的努力会比在口袋里时显著增加。”

尝试删除应用程序或使用应用拦截器。现在有比以往更多的工具来帮助那些想要减少上网时间的人。有些应用要求你在打开被锁定的应用前输入理由。任何理由都可以，但关键在于减缓在无聊时检查社交媒体的自动诱惑，强迫自己自觉决定是否要使用它。其他设备（如 Brick）也可以用来阻止你访问手机上的某些应用。

“如果你没有问题，这只是一种你可以像其他爱好一样进行的娱乐活动，而且你可能会享受其中，”Oeller 说道。“但如果你在使用过程中出现了问题并忽略了其他活动，你可能需要重新考虑。”

科罗拉多河计划要求三个州削减用水量

据三名官员透露，亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州和内华达州在未来两年内必须共同削减 20 ％的河水使用量。

作者：SARAH KAPLAN 和 RANNAH KNOWLER

三名知情人士在关于一项期待已久的联邦拯救枯竭水道计划的激烈谈判中表示，亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州和内华达州将被要求在未来两年内共同削减 20 ％的科罗拉多河用水量——并且最终可能面临更大规模的削减。

该计划的部分内容在周五清晨由垦务局在一份环境影响声明中描述。目前科罗拉多河正处于危机循环之中，它是七个州、50 个原住民部落以及墨西哥西北部部分地区的重要水源。但专家表示，这不足以解决该河流众多用户之间的政治僵局，也无法阻止这条陷入困境的水道走向崩溃。

周五的公告概述了一个关于河流大坝和水库运行的广泛 10 年框架。它要求每两年制定一次更具体的运行计划，并提供了一系列可能的措施，包括将释放到下游流域的水量削减高达 40 ％。亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州和内华达州构成了下游流域。

该框架并未考虑强制削减盆地上游五个州（科罗拉多州、新墨西哥州、犹他州和怀俄明州）的用水量，但允许自愿削减。

第一步是维持增加。首个两年运行计划（包括下游流域 20 ％的削减）预计将在未来几天内出台。三名因参与持续谈判而要求匿名的官员透露，20 ％的水量供应方案在很大程度上符合这三个州在春季提出的方案，官员们希望这将使他们能够避免在短期内面临更深程度的削减。

亚利桑那州水资源部在周五的声明中暗示了各州之间的紧张关系，称新框架“旨在提升围绕一个统一的七州共同牺牲计划的谈判”。该部门称，更剧烈的潜在削减对于“亚利桑那州而言是不可接受的”，因为该州在水权等级中处于较后位置。

“如果我们进入这种更严苛的削减阶段，亚利桑那州将面临其强力用户在整个科罗拉多河供应中完全失去清洁水的潜在风险，”部门主任 Tom Ruschalche 在一次采访中表示，并认为该计划让其他州能够进行削减。

目前的运行规则将于 9 月底到期，但未能阻止自 20 世纪末以来被气候变化加剧的慢性过度用水问题。

在经历了历史性低谷的冬季降雪和酷热的春季之后，今年用于覆盖的用水量不足年平均需求的四分之一，主要水库的水位已跌至历史最低点。科学家警告称，十个州中出现一次干旱年就可能摧毁整个系统，破坏水电生产、饮用水供应以及约 2 million 英亩土地的灌溉。

专家表示，目前长期解决方案的前景比以往任何时候都更暗淡。特朗普政府官员指责各州未能就如何分担必要成本的痛苦达成妥协。谈判代表表示，监管垦务局的内政部尚未提供能够平顺达成协议的领导力或财政激励。几个州已经建立了应对方案，并开始聘请律师，为潜在的水量交付诉讼做准备。

《华盛顿邮报》采访了 11 位获悉谈判情况的人士，其中包括州代表、前内政部官员，以及在科罗拉多河工作的律师和科学家。大多数人表示，垦务局（Bureau of Reclamation）的方法可能是目前环境下能达到的最佳方案，但局方深知在未来几年的用水量预期方面仍存在巨大的不确定性。这一 10 年的框架——

在内华达州本特利城（Bentlee City）附近，俯瞰科罗拉多河两大水库之一的米德湖（Lake Mead）。

其工作周期仅为该局 1 月发布的一版计划草案的一半，且并未根据水库水位制定明确的减产规则。

“这确保了我们在接下来的两年协议中将处于不断的谈判状态，”曾在拜登政府期间担任上科罗拉多河委员会主席的安妮·卡斯尔（Anne Castle）表示。

加州科罗拉多河委员会主席 29 Stantle 在一份声明中表示，周五发布的计划“并未结束盆地委员会的谈判”。

“这是一个重要的里程碑，但并非终点，”Stantle 说道。他强调，加利福尼亚州、亚利桑那州和内华达州已经证明，即使在使用更少科罗拉多河水的情况下，他们的经济依然可以增长。

预计 2027 和 2028 年的拟议运行计划将节省约 12 million 英亩-英尺的水量——这足以填满 20 个大约 1.5 million 个奥运标准游泳池。亚利桑那州立大学凯尔水政策中心（Kyl Center for Water Policy）主任萨拉·波特（Sarah Porter）表示，该计划将要求显著的“紧缩”，尤其是在亚利桑那州，但各州已表明他们可以承受这些减量。

然而，波特警告称，研究表明，目前的措施仅为使用水需求与不断减少的供应量保持一致所需量的一半，这增加了未来出现更大幅度削减的可能性。

“我们目前的处境并不理想，”布伦达·伯曼（Brenda Burman）表示。她在第一任特朗普政府期间担任垦务局专员，现为中央亚利桑那工程（Central Arizona Project）的地面经理。

在未来两年的拟议运行计划下，这个长 250 英里的运河和水渠系统（负责为亚利桑那州人口最稠密地区供水）将面临其历史上最大规模的削减。如果该机构选择实施 10 年框架中考虑的部分更深层次的削减，该市的所有配水量可能会被全部抹除。

“我们进入谈判时寻求的是 20 年的确定性，”伯曼说。“但我们得到的并非如此。”

内政部长道格·伯吉斯（Doug Burgess）在公布该框架时表示，这将使部门在应对干旱时拥有必要的灵活性，同时为盆地七州达成此前一直未能实现的妥协留出空间。

“在 2028, 之后，该计划似乎是……计划随之而行，”环境防御基金（Environmental Defense Fund）水计划主任克里斯托弗·坎达斯（Christopher Kandas）说道。

但专家表示，这条河流以及数百万依赖它的人们无法承受延迟。

“我会称之为‘权宜之计’，”一位熟悉谈判的前内政部官员表示。由于情况如此糟糕，这引发了一个问题：“这里的长期计划究竟是什么？”

强制谈判

专家表示，河道上日益紧张的局势是由燃料天气、规划不周、环境因素以及在特朗普和拜登政府任内由官员和联邦政府主导的一系列因素共同导致的。

冲突的核心在于上游和下游流域各州之间关于谁应承担必要减产负担的僵局。

在拥有众多水源和喂养该河流的支流的上游流域，很少有能提供长期蓄水的蓄水池，这意味着用户依赖自然流量。官员们认为，这意味着上游流域在干旱年份会自动承受损失。他们表示，维持鲍威尔湖和米德湖水位的责任应由使用这些湖泊的下游流域各州承担。

“仅在今年，我们在上游流域就承受了超过 50% 的减量……也就是我们现有水量的 50%，”犹他州科罗拉多河专员 Gene Shawvitch 周五告诉上级。

然而，约四分之三依赖科罗拉多河的人口居住在下游流域。该地区还拥有大城市和规模庞大的农场，提供了美国大部分的冬季蔬菜供应。这些州的官员表示，近年来他们已经将用水量减少了数百万英亩-英尺。他们认为，过度使用河流是普遍现象，因此拯救河流的责任也是普遍的。

目前管理该河流的法律框架使情况更加复杂，该框架根据用户的先后顺序确定优先级。如果各州之间未能达成协议，大规模减量将完全由次级用户承担（包括亚利桑那州的大城市和图森市），而像加利福尼亚州帝国谷的农民等高级权利持有者则无需进行任何削减。

去年夏天，各州似乎可能就一种基于实际流量而非历史平均值和法律协议的新监督方法达成一致。但这些谈判由于在谁应承受强制削减方面存在熟悉的分歧而破裂。

与此同时，自唐纳德·特朗普总统就任以来，垦务局一直没有正式的领导者，他经常撤回早前的专员提名。他任命了 Jean tapped kidney Botton court，一位来自加利福尼亚州的资深水利和农业专家来领导该机构。目前由一名退休人员担任代理专员，但根据参议院记录，特朗普政府尚未正式提交其确认申请。

Porter 表示，行政当局之间的这种过渡——加上拜登政府时期的一些目光短浅的决定——使得该局更难以促成一个有意义的妥协。

2022 年（此前该河流蓄水池的最低水位记录），拜登政府通过《削减量通胀法案》获得了 24 billion 的资金，以支持科罗拉多河的保护工作。当时的州谈判代表表示，这笔数以十亿计的资金帮助他们达成了一项为期三年的协议，暂时化解了鲍威尔湖和米德湖的危机。

但大约一半的资金流向了短期自愿计划，这些计划是通过付费让用户放弃年度配额，而不是投资于能解决需求与供应之间长期失衡的效率和韧性措施。

“在我们需要切实永久性减少用水量的时候，这是一笔前所未有的资金，”Porter 说道。

现在，几乎所有的 IRA 资金都已耗尽，而河流仍处于崩溃的边缘。

另一方面，参与当前谈判的多个人士指责特朗普政府此次未能提供类似的投资作为妥协的激励措施。尽管内政部延长了一些保护协议并帮助各州制定水资源交换框架，但尚未为该流域请求大额的新资金。

上周，一个由代表科罗拉多河（Colorado River）流域各州的众议员组成的跨党派小组敦促国会领导者在特朗普政府申请的一项更广泛的补充支出计划中加入水资源保护和基础设施资金。该计划的主要目的是支付与伊拉克战争相关的军事费用。

“我担心联邦政府对科罗拉多河的支持很快就会枯竭，”众议员（Hon. Uton O'Rourke），一个担忧所有公司的人，在一封电子邮件中表示。

内华达州的首席谈判代表约翰·埃明尼格（John Emminiger）在周五的一份声明中说，虽然“我们的社区准备通过短期减量来管理并保护科罗拉多河系统，但作为流域中用水量最小的州，内华达州无法独自解决河流的失衡问题”。

前上科罗拉多河委员会负责人柯蒂斯（Curtis）表示，任何管理人员都很难说服各州同意削减水资源，因为这将严重损害其自身的选民利益。

但其也指向了一系列期限的变动以及来自特朗普政府官员的延迟公告，将其视为谈判过程混乱的迹象。

“我认为从战略角度来看，司法部需要采取坚定的立场且不能放弃，”加芬克尔（Garfinkel）表示，“因为这样各州才有能力做出选择。我们之所以同意另一项协议，是因为如果我们不这样做，联邦政府将对我们采取更糟糕的措施。”

一条正在消失的河流

科罗拉多州立大学科罗拉多水中心（Colorado Water Center）的气候科学家布拉德·柴尔德（Brad Child）将围绕这条河流的紧张局势描述为“20世纪的水法、20世纪的基础设施与21世纪气候变化及人口增长之间的一次大碰撞”。

科罗拉多河的水量几乎从未能满足所有拥有法定用水权的人。柴尔德表示，人为引起的气候变暖使情况进一步恶化。自 2000 年以来，与气候变化相关的高温和降雨模式改变，使得流经该河的水量比 20 世纪的平均水平减少了约 20% 左右。

这场争论迫使人们就如何管理短缺问题进行重复谈判。大气中的某些环流在一定程度上缓解了河流枯竭，但它们从未严谨到足以扭转那些旨在为糟糕年份提供缓冲的水库的即时下降趋势。

作为丹佛州（Denver State）所在地的米德湖（Lake Mead），距离其记录的最低水位仅差几英寸。在向河上游数百英里处，鲍威尔湖（Lake Powell）正接近一个临界点，届时水将无法再通过格伦峡谷大坝（Glen Canyon Dam）的闸门流动。这增加了发生一种被称为“气蚀”现象的风险，即气泡在快速流动的水中形成并爆炸，释放出可能损害大坝本身的能量。

“水库的蓄水量如此之低，已经快达到其能力的极限了，”加芬克尔（Garfinkel）表示。“我们处于一个非常危险的境地。”

美国西南部的许多人希望，一个正在发展的 25 尼罗（Nile）天气模式——预计将是 100 多年来最强的一次——能带来补充干涸景观的冬季天气。部分尼罗（Nile）事件与科罗拉多州一些水库的冬季补水相关联。

但柴尔德表示，这个冬天的前景并不那么乐观。在最近一项针对 100 年以上数据的分析中，他发现 42 尼罗（Nile）的强度与流经河流中点的水量之间存在显著关系。

“在过去的 20 年里，每个人都在玩这样一个游戏，那就是‘让我们等待水文情况，并希望水文能给我们惊喜’，但这是一个非常危险的游戏，”柴尔德说。“如果你今年再次遇到像这样糟糕的情况，你可能会面临大量不可预测的削减，因为水库将完全干涸。”

波特（Porter）表示，该局的 10 年框架看起来就像是另一个“吹口哨游戏”的结果。

“这简直就像是一笔气球贷（balloon payment），”她说道，指的是某些短期贷款在结束时要求支付的大额款项。“迟早会有一笔巨额款项到期。”

特朗普对伊朗的基础设施打击导致广泛短缺和停电

伊朗报道，见 A4 页

特朗普威胁要扩大美国的打击范围，以针对更多的基础设施。特朗普在本周接受福克斯新闻（Fox News）采访时表示：“我可以在不到一小时内摧毁他们的大部分桥梁，”在这次采访中，他还威胁要攻击伊朗的发电厂。“他们知道如果不能达成协议，我就会这么做，”他说。

美国重启攻击的目标最初看来与停火前美军打击的目标相似：雷达设施、发射场、运输仓库以及沿伊朗海岸线的其他军事基础设施。

随后，目标范围扩大了：根据战争研究所（Institute for the Study of War）的统计，美国击中了港口城市班达尔阿巴斯（Bandar Abbas）周边的至少六座桥梁和隧道。据伊朗官方媒体报道，在南部其他地区，袭击破坏了通信线路、一个火车站和一个脱盐厂。其他攻击击中了德黑兰附近的一个军事综合体以及一条靠近土库曼斯坦边境的铁路线。

伊朗卫生部报告称，在最新一轮袭击中，至少有 60 人死亡，600 多人受伤。据当地媒体报道，伊朗官员试图淡化这些打击的影响，称它们仅造成了暂时性的交通中断和通信停电。

“最近的袭击标志着‘目标范围的扩大’，”华盛顿近东政策研究所（Washington Institute for Near East Policy）研究主任杜莎·雷瓦尔（Dusa Reval）表示。该研究所是一家智库，雷瓦尔曾在拜登政府期间担任国防部中东事务副助理部长。她表示，通过打击桥梁和隧道，美军的目标是伊斯兰革命卫队用于“在海岸线周边移动资产和能力以强化其活动”的“支撑性基础设施”。

美国对关键基础设施的打击以及进一步攻击的威胁，引发了人们对这类攻击可能构成战争罪的担忧。在特朗普威胁要轰炸该国“每一座”桥梁和发电厂后，曾在奥巴马政府担任国务院法律顾问的哈夫西德·洪朱·科（Havsid Hongju Koh）在 4 月份告诉《华盛顿邮报》：“国际人道主义法保护那些对平民生存至关重要的对象免受攻击。”

德黑兰居民和建筑工人傍晚行走在最近袭击中受损的一排建筑附近。

特朗普政府将美国攻击的部分基础设施分类为“军民两用”，因为它们既被军方使用也被平民使用，因此符合军事目标的条件。

她说，扩大打击目标旨在向德黑兰发出一个“信号”。中央司令部“正在发出信号，表明我们已经在升级阶梯上采取了这一递增步骤，你们无法阻止我们，我们可以继续进行，而你们是脆弱的”。

特朗普政府将经济痛苦描述为对抗伊朗战争的关键组成部分。“经济愤怒行动”（Operation Economic Fury）于 4 月启动，当时美国对伊朗实施封锁并加强了制裁。但经济分析师表示，到目前为止，对基础设施的打击，特别是对制造业和工业的攻击，造成了更大的经济影响。

政府强调了海军封锁和其他举措的经济影响，而非打击的影响。一名要求匿名讨论敏感问题的美国高级官员表示：“虽然伊朗破坏能源自由流动能力正被美国军队削弱，但该政权正受到我们海军封锁、制裁和其他经济措施的经济挤压。”“如果这是伊朗选择走的路，总统在接下来的几周和几个月里还有很多可以加大力度的杠杆。”

多年来，经济压力在伊朗引发了最剧烈的动荡，包括今年早些时候因该国货币大幅贬值而引发的抗议活动。这些抗议活动以及政府随之采取的致命镇压，使伊朗体制陷入危机。

在美国和以色列针对伊朗的战争期间，德黑兰领导层面临的部分国内压力有所缓解，但通货膨胀继续上升。伊朗里亚尔在本月再次创下历史新低，兑美元汇率超过 1.9 million。

伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽什基安自 2 月下旬美以联合打击战争爆发以来，一直警告战争将带来长期经济成本。本月，他将伊朗经济描述为这场冲突中“最重要的战场”。

据官方媒体报道，他警告称：“如果经济压力导致社会不满，且这种不满进一步扩大，那么人民为支持体制而创造的巨大社会资本可能会受到损害。”

但乔治·华盛顿大学中东研究项目主任伊萨·安塞尔认为，持续的战斗并没有让佩泽什基安这类声音得到提升，反而使其进一步被边缘化。

“现在，所有人的思考方式都围绕着生存和战斗，”他说。“我并不是说总统毫无权力，但在战时，军方在国家决策中的话语权通常更大。”

只要战争继续，伊朗经济预计将进一步恶化。国际货币基金组织预测，伊朗经济今年将萎缩 3 percent 以上，并表示通货膨胀率已接近 70 percent。

伊朗经济分析师哈迪·卡巴尔扎德将该国的经济危机描述为一种“级联反应”。他说，如果经济萎缩约 4 percent，可能会迫使企业在短短几个月内裁员约 4 million 人，这一举措可能会使另外 4 million 以上的伊朗人陷入贫困线以下。

他表示，从短期来看，针对基础设施的打击通过摧毁关键的陆路贸易路线，“正使封锁带来的人道主义成本变得难以承受”。

他说，这些攻击“使得食品、药品、床铺和其他必需品的运输变得更加困难且昂贵”。他认为，“这种影响已经体现在通胀预期、里亚尔进一步贬值以及价格上涨中”，最终将导致伊朗陷入更深层的贫困。

但卡巴尔扎德认为，伊朗体制并不会在短期内崩溃，而是准备继续进行适应，就像它多年来为了规避制裁所做的那样。乔治·华盛顿大学的安塞尔对此表示同意，他解释说，在经历了多年的严厉国际制裁后，伊朗对于持续的经济压力并不陌生。

“伊朗国家体制传统上能够承受很多痛苦，人民也是如此，他们的痛苦耐受力相当高，”他说。

参议员对布兰奇关于司法部赔付基金已终止的承诺持怀疑态度

法律专家表示，协议的变更通常应当以书面形式呈现

作者：FRENN STEEN, JEANEN ROMBOUS 以及 THEODORE MEYER

代理总检察长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）数周以来一直坚称，总统唐纳德·特朗普提议的 45.8 billion “反-woop assistance”基金已完全且不可否认地终止。

但周五，特朗普两次削弱了布兰奇的宣誓证词：他首先暗示该基金——旨在解决他针对美国国家税务局（IRS）的诉讼而设立——依然非常活跃；随后又承认该基金已终止，但他非常希望它能继续存在。

这种矛盾强化了跨党派立法者的担忧，即特朗普可能会在某个时间点尝试重启该基金。这也解释了为何至少有两名共和党参议员要求布兰奇采取律师所称的在任何常规情况下的做法：将变更内容以书面形式记录。

“总统今天明确表示，所谓的‘反-Woopassination基金’依然存在，这正是我们试图正式将其终止的原因，”参议员塞恩·蒂利斯（Thane Tillis，共和党-南卡罗来纳州）在社交媒体上针对特朗普周五早晨发布的贴文做出回应时表示。

在上述贴文中，特朗普重申他坚信那些被政府“woopassization”针对的人 deserves 获得补偿。他写道：“我始终认为，那些政府虐待的受害者应该就他们所经历的、以及他们被毁掉的一切获得赔偿。”这段话被广泛认为是指那些因在 6, 2025 年 7 月 6 日攻击美国国会大厦而被起诉的人。

布兰奇不愿正式重写司法部与特朗普之间的结算协议，可能会影响他成为下一任经确认的美国总检察长的机会。

一些批评者表示，布兰奇拒绝重写协议表明，他对比特朗普利益的忠诚度高于对美国政府的忠诚度，而后者应当是他作为总检察长的首要任务。

“托德·布兰奇是一名代表被告的律师。而这个被告恰好就是联邦政府，”卡里布法学院（Caribou School of Law）教授安东尼·J·塞尔萨克（Anthony J. Selsak）说道。“这种辩护方式极其反常，甚至在完全没有提供最起码的、积极且严肃的客户辩护的情况下……”

司法部未立即回应置评请求，但布兰奇在确认听证会上表示，鉴于行政部门已多次公开宣布该基金不再存在，没有理由修改协议。

“这是一个无议题的问题，意思是没有 woopassization 基金，”布兰奇说。“woopassization 基金已死。它不会再推进。”

目前尚不清楚是否由特朗普或另一名白宫官员指示布兰奇拒绝参议员的要求。特朗普周五的言论表明，总统对于与蒂利斯或参议员约翰·科拉亚（John Coraya，共和党-南）达成妥协毫无兴趣。

但法律专家指出，作为代理总检察长，布兰奇应当被期待采用最佳法律实践，这包括将对任何现有协议的变更以书面形式记录，而不是坚持口头保证即可。

蒂利斯和科拉亚表示，在布兰奇不仅以书面形式终止 woopassization 基金，而且正式限制协议中另一项保护特朗普家族免受此前税务追索的条款之前，他们不会在参议院司法委员会投票支持通过布兰奇的提名。

“要求他确认这一点，在某种程度上是要求他展现出体面且合理的法律判断，”福特汉姆法学院（Fordham Law School）教授本杰明·C·齐帕夫斯基（Benjamin C. Zipavsky）表示。“你是否有足够的超然立场，来识别某事在法律上显然是不可接受的？我们想看到这一点。”

司法部 5 月与特朗普达成的结算协议——旨在解决他因税单泄露而针对 IRS 的诉讼——同时包含了 woopassization 基金和税务保护条款。

该“woopassization”基金立即遭到了共和党人和民主党人的强烈抵制，他们随即开始通过阻挠立法来表示抗议。司法部对此回应称，将不再推进该基金，尽管特朗普享有的税务保护依然有效。

但由于和解条款尚未以书面形式更新，布朗什（Blanche）在最近的确认听证会上承认，理论上特朗普可以通过起诉政府违反协议来试图重启该基金。

“我想，如果特朗普总统的法律顾问寻求执行该协议，那么潜在上是可能的，”布朗什在 7 月 15 日告诉参议员们，随后迅速修正了他的措辞。“嗯，他们可以尝试执行合同，”他说。“但他们不能强迫司法部推进该 ‘woopassization’ 基金。”

科拉亚（Coraya）质疑协议中税务保护部分为何写得如此模糊，称宽泛的解读可能意味着超过 100 个特朗普家族实体都能获得这一税务屏蔽。他询问布朗什是否会重写协议，以明确这些保护仅适用于特朗普、他的两个儿子以及特朗普集团（即针对美国国税局起诉的原告）。

科拉亚还要求明确，该协议仅给予特朗普免受国税局审计的保护，而不是免受司法部和证券交易委员会调查的保护。

布朗什回应道：“在这种情况下，它仅约束国税局，以及延伸至‘财政部’。”科拉亚反击道：“好吧，我听到了你的说法，但在协议中我绝对没读到这一点。”

布朗什表示，科拉亚对和解协议的狭义解读是准确的——它仅适用于特朗普和其他原告，且仅适用于国税局提出的主张。因此，他补充说，没有必要对其进行修改。

科拉亚和蒂利斯（Tillis）暗示，是对协议更新和正式化产生抵触的源头是白宫，而非布朗什。

“很遗憾，他的确认进程陷入僵局，仅仅是因为总统的一名不称职的个人顾问拒绝修改这个虚假的和解协议，”蒂利斯在社交媒体上写道。

但蒂利斯并未点名该顾问，也没有为他的指控提供任何证据。而特朗普在周五明确表示他个人抵制参议员们的要求，并称科拉亚之所以“非常愤怒”，是因为特朗普支持了其初选对手。

负责处理特朗普国税局诉讼的联邦法官认为，在未经其批准的情况下达成该协议，是一种试图“操纵”法院程序的行为。她指出，考虑到双方最终都预期支持特朗普，当事人之间不存在正当的法律争议。

特朗普的律师周五向法院提交通知，表示他们打算对该裁决提出上诉。

特朗普暗示，他可能会撤回布朗什担任司法部长（attorney general）的提名，直到明年科拉亚和蒂利斯都离职。

但即使提名被撤回，布朗什在经过参议院确认担任副司法部长后，目前仍在该职位上，他可能在较长时间内继续担任代理司法部长。

一些法律专家表示，布朗什应该尝试提出一个能够经受住法律审查的和解方案。

凯斯西储大学法学院教授 Canadian Trade Advertisers 表示，政府与某些私人当事人不同，通常不能在法庭之外做出法律承诺，而这正是布朗什准备这么做的。她表示，如此高标准的原因在于，有如此之多的政府雇员可以代表政府发表截然不同的声明。

“当政府作为诉讼的一方时，人们会对任何承诺是通过诉讼程序正式做出的持有更高的预期，”她说道。“这类非正式的、庭外发表的声明——对于政府而言是不具强制执行力的。”

酷热的 7 月可能成为美国历史上最温暖的月份

由于巨大的热穹顶增加了西部的野火风险，8 月将以高温开局

作者：BEN NOLL

本周末，另一个热穹顶将给西部带来严重的火灾天气风险和破纪录的高温。

但这并非该月结束前可能创下的唯一记录。还有一个更令人震惊的记录：2026 年 7 月可能会成为美国本土历史上最温暖的月份。

美国本土 7 月的全国气温比平均水平高出约 2.5 度，目前有望打破 2025 年 7 月创下的前纪录。这仍需等待本月的最终数据。

本月还有望成为有记录以来夜间温度最温暖、湿度最高的月份，而白天气温则位列历史第三高。

作为明显上升温度趋势的一部分，这与寒冷的情况相同——在气候变化的背景下，太平洋中可能形成了记录以来最强 33 Nile（此处原文如此）。

“寒冷的情况与之前相同，但现在看来，2026 年 7 月更有可能成为美国本土有记录以来最温暖的月份，”北伦伯兰（Northumberland）官方报告在周三写道。

至于原因，北伦伯兰表示，一个锚定在全国大部分地区的宽广高压带可以“subst”阻止任何降温。

平均温度

与 7 月 1 日至 7 月 30 日的平均值对比

最低时间修订：从春季到装饰（修订）

8 月 1 日的热穹顶预测

最低时间修订：即将到来

虽然美国本土总量已定，但北伦伯兰预计 7 月将成为阿拉斯加州自 1991 年以来有记录以来第二凉爽的 7 月。

但对于该国大部分地区而言，

这种酷热远未结束。

另一个热穹顶正在形成

周五和周六，一个破纪录的热穹顶——也是目前地球上最强大的一个——将再次笼罩美国，这次覆盖亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州和内华达州的部分地区。

在这种广阔的高压区域下，加利福尼亚州南谷（South Valley）最热地区的气温可能飙升至 127 度，整个西南部和山间西部（Intermountain West）预计将出现破纪录的高温。

以下是未来几天预测的一些最高温度：

• 周六，加利福尼亚州 Nootles，110 度
• 周日，加利福尼亚州埃尔森特罗（El Centro），127 度
• 周六，菲尼克斯和拉斯维加斯，110 度
• 周六，图森（Tucson），112 度
• 周六，加利福尼亚州兰开斯特（Lancaster），108 度
• 周六，蒙大拿州比林斯（Billings），108 度
• 周日，萨克拉门托和南达科他州快速城（Rapid City），100 度
• 周六，盐湖城，100 度
• 周五，阿尔伯克基（Albuquerque），100 度
• 周日，丹佛，100 度

对于南加利福尼亚州和亚利桑那州的部分地区，这并不完全是该地区习惯的典型干燥热浪。气候科学家丹尼尔·斯韦恩（Daniel Swain）在最近的一篇文章中写到了该地区异常的、达到热带水平的湿度。

“这种 [湿度] 开始对人类健康产生重大影响，因为它大大放大了原本较为温和的热事件所带来的生理负担，”斯韦恩写道。

极端高温预计还将持续，南谷的温度预计将维持在 100 度附近，而菲尼克斯和拉斯维加斯的温度预计仅将下降到 90 度出头。

菲尼克斯的夜间温度变得越来越极端，自 2025 年以来，该市 31 个 7 月每日记录最高低温中的 24 个均在此时期创下。上周，菲尼克斯在 7 月 24 日仅下降至 97 度，追平了其有史以来最温暖之夜的记录。

除了高温，本周末的山火风险也将大幅增加。从俄勒冈州东部、华盛顿州到蒙大拿州和怀俄明州的一片区域，极有可能面临关键的火灾天气条件，而冷锋即将来临前的强风和低湿度则进一步加剧了这一风险。

周六，华盛顿州东部部分地区处于火灾天气的“极端关键风险”等级，这是该量表中的最高级别。位于华盛顿州斯波坎的国家气象局警告称，可能会出现“极端的火灾行为和快速的火势增长”。

此前，该地区已出现非常活跃的山火模式，烟雾从俄勒冈州一直蔓延到了佛罗里达州。

另一个热穹顶可能会在 8 月初期间扩展至美国全境。

西班牙下令部署军队以在移民冲入哨所后恢复秩序

欧洲 A1 版

据媒体报道，西班牙的卡里玛·贝尼亚特（Karima Benyacht）在公开表态中表示，这次移民潮是在“违背我们意愿”的情况下发生的，且摩洛哥“希望这些公民返回我国”。

桑切斯（Sánchez）周五在休达（Creta）发表讲话，试图为其政府的应对措施辩护，包括增派警察和国民卫队。他表示，当局将在源头部署人员，以充当“拦截屏障”。

他将这次抵达描述为对西班牙领土的“侵犯”，并指出在本周之前，不法入境西班牙的人数一直在下降。

“这种情况是史无前例的，”他说。“它打破了我们在整个西班牙记录的趋势，即不法移民人数年复一年、月复一月地系统性减少。”

在美国，从 MAGA 影响力人士到白宫的一系列右翼声音都抓住了这些生动的画面。

“我昨天看到了西班牙，我看到了那里发生的灾难，”唐纳德·特朗普总统周五表示。“这就像是一个国家被数十万人入侵。如果共和党人没有当选，同样的事情也会发生在我们身上，而且会更糟，规模更大，进入也更容易，尽管我们已经修建了数千英里长的墙。”

白宫副办公厅主任斯蒂芬·米勒（Stephen Miller）协助制定了特朗普的反移民打击计划，他分享了一段移民通过海路和陆路冲入休达的视频，声称民主党人会对这些“你的家园被入侵者颠覆和窃取”的画面感到“欣喜”。

对于已经陷入其核心圈子腐败丑闻所引发的政治危机的桑切斯来说，来自全球和国内的压力迅速增加。

数十年来，流向休达和梅里利亚（Melilla）的移民潮一直起起伏伏。

西班牙内政部长费尔南多·格兰德-马丁内斯（Fernando Grande-Martínez）将此次事件归咎于人口贩子对最高法院裁决的“操纵”；官员们表示，尽管有该裁决，他们仍将寻求将最近抵达休达的移民遣返，目前已有数百人被驱逐。

西班牙一直努力限制从摩洛哥进入其北非领地的不法移民，摩洛哥的领土包围着休达和梅里利亚。一些猜测集中在摩洛哥是否在桑切斯最近访问其敌对邻国阿尔及利亚后放宽了执法——这一解释被一些西班牙和摩洛哥官员否认。

整个欧洲的反应是愤怒，包括主流政治阶层。法国当局表示，将加强与西班牙的边境管制。

这次涌入发生在该地区已经开始对不法移民实施更严格规则之际，而较为宽松的西班牙在很大程度上被视为自由主义的异类。

“来自休达的画面是不可接受的，”欧盟委员会主席 Utrala van der Leyen 宣布，并要求将抵达休达的人员“迅速”遣返。“我们不能允许任何人不遵守我们的法律而进入我们的联盟。”

最激烈的反应来自欧洲的一系列反移民政党，他们试图利用这次欧洲危机，将西班牙（该国正推进一项使数十万营养不良的移民合法化的计划）描绘成一个负担和不法移民的磁石。

从休达前往西班牙本土需要进行边境和身份检查，包括为发送者提供有效签证。这些措施是为了控制从西班牙领地进入欧盟的移民，尽管一些政治家坚持认为，最近几天发生的事件证明这些措施还不够。

意大利总理乔治亚·梅洛尼周五宣布，罗马将暂停西班牙在申根协议中的入境资格。该协议允许 20 个欧洲国家之间自由流动，但由于多个国家恢复了边境检查，该协议已承受压力。芬兰政府与意大利一同呼吁将西班牙排除在该协议之外。

意大利的这一举措可能会影响两个热门欧洲夏季目的地——意大利和西班牙之间的旅行。

“这是一项 extraordinary 的措施，旨在维护国家安全并防止对我国产生可能的后续影响，”梅洛尼在 X 上表示。“该措施将仅在必要的时间内维持，我们将特别关注如何限制对夏季旅游流量的影响。”

此前，随着外交部长安东尼奥·西高加入梅洛尼的行列，呼吁暂停西班牙的申根资格，与意大利的外交争端升级。对此，西班牙外交部长对此予以谴责，并传唤意大利驻西班牙大使表示抗议。

“来自一个友好国家和合作伙伴的外交部长的这种信息，我们期待的是欧洲的团结，而不是党派政治的煽动者，这是不体面的，”西班牙外交部长何塞·曼努埃尔·阿尔巴里斯表示。

在德国和法国，竞选权力席位的极右翼政党也利用了这次危机。

“现在必须关闭边境并严格执行驱逐。2001 年的情况绝不能重演！”德国选择党（AfD）共同领导人爱丽丝·韦德尔在 X 上宣称，她指的是叙利亚内战期间难民涌入的情况。

桑切斯已成为欧洲左翼的象征，挑战特朗普并批评意大利的战争，同时通过推出广泛的合法化计划并采取更宽容的基调（特别是针对从拉丁美洲西班牙语国家抵达的移民），将西班牙变成了移民辩论的对照点。

桑切斯在 X 上反击道，“西班牙政府完全致力于对克雷塔的情况做出立即响应”，且“现在是带着责任感与合作意识构建解决方案的时刻”。

西班牙国民卫队协会 (AUSC) 在 X 上的一篇帖子中将其归咎于“人员短缺、资源不足以及特工工作强度达到极限”。

近日不断积累的人潮在克雷塔这个微小领土上造成了混乱。《华盛顿邮报》验证的视频显示，数百人在边境的一道门前强行推进，西班牙国民卫队 (Guardia Civil) 的官员站在一旁，似乎被涌入的人数淹没了。

视频中的大多数人是携带极少财物的年轻男性。许多人仅穿着泳裤，在穿过分隔摩洛哥和克雷塔的多重屏障的水域后，头发依然湿漉漉的。视频显示，在摩洛哥北部，又有数百人从山坡上走下，试图踏上西班牙领土，他们攀爬围栏、游泳、跳墙并翻越岩石。

卫星图像显示，边境两边的人群在太空中清晰可见。

周二，网上流传的一段视频显示，两名女性在雨中出现，据称她们在日出前游泳穿过边境进入克雷塔。两名女性对着镜头微笑并比出和平手势。这段在 TikTok 上传播的视频获得了数千次点赞和分享。

据西班牙 RTVE 电视台报道，一些商家提前关门，许多居民留在室内。

“这就像一场末日。到处都是人们讲述的故事，”克雷塔的一名企业主何塞·卡洛斯·拉拉（José Carlos Lara）告诉该网络。这场危机为桑切斯的国内政治敌手提供了新的攻击口实。

“与当前局势同样严重的是，政府的反应十分软弱，”中右翼人民党主席阿尔贝托·米兰·费霍（Alberto Milán Feijó）宣布。

西班牙极右翼 Vox 党领导圣地亚哥·阿巴斯卡尔（Santiago Abascal）试图将责任归咎于桑切斯的“大规模合法化”政策，并将此次激增描述为一场“入侵”。

桑切斯在克雷塔的评论中，在很大程度上淡化了合法化进程，而是将重点放在其政府遏制非法移民的措施上。

Paper 在伦敦报道，布鲁塞尔的埃尔顿·弗朗西斯（Elton Francis）和华盛顿的迈克尔·斯特罗马赫（Michael Strömacher）对本报道亦有贡献。

周五，进入克雷塔的移民被护送回摩洛哥。

众议院推动整合以色列与美国国防工业引发审查

批评者担心，如果该立法被通过，将赋予以色列对美国武器的否决权

作者：JOHN HENSON

2023 年，已故的共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）曾主导一项努力，试图通过支持将铁穹防空电池从美国转移到乌克兰，以防止乌克兰平民遭受俄罗斯攻击。但他遇到了一个障碍：本雅明·内塔尼亚胡。

这位以色列总理通过援引一项联合生产协议的条款否决了这次转移。该协议赋予以色列对该系统使用的最终决定权，尽管涉事的导弹电池是由美国政府出资购买的。

现在，美国立法者正寻求将这种关系扩展到导弹防御之外，涵盖一系列技术领域，包括生物武器、人工智能、网络安全和定向能系统。

该提案被纳入上周众议院通过的 $1.15 trillion 国防政策法案中，得到了内塔尼亚胡、两党内支持以色列的美国立法者以及强大的游说团体美国以色列公共事务委员会的支持。但它遭到了左翼民主党人和一些右翼共和党人的批评，后者正协同努力试图在参议院阻止该提案。

“这损害了我们的主权，并由于限制了我们的选择而损害了我们的国家安全，”参议员克里斯·范·霍伦（Chris Van Hollen，民主党-马里兰州）在一次采访中表示。“我们想要（转移到乌克兰的）导弹系统部署在美国西南部，由美国纳税人支付，但以色列否决了。”

关于该法案的辩论与内塔尼亚胡最近访问华盛顿的时间相吻合，他在访问期间寻求以色列对战争的支持，而这场战争在美国公众中的支持率正日益下降。

本周访问华盛顿的还有乌克兰总统泽连斯基，他对美国支持的同步需求使这两个美国盟友在资源争夺中陷入了零和竞争。在泽连斯基与唐纳德·特朗普总统的会面期间，美国总统告诉他，很难满足乌克兰对 2026 年爱国者拦截系统的请求，因为这些系统正被用于伊朗战争，泽连斯基告诉亚洲（Asian）。

本周在一次葬礼上，有人看到泽连斯基和内塔尼亚胡之间似乎发生了简短的交锋，但双方均拒绝就对话内容发表评论。

国会关于军事政策法案的辩论，是关于尽管对以色列在加沙的行径及其对待西岸巴勒斯坦人的方式存在担忧，但以色列是否应继续获得美国重大支持的最新冲突点。

唐纳德·特朗普总统与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡，去年在佛罗里达州棕榈滩的特朗普海湖庄园俱乐部。

从左至右：内塔尼亚胡、乌克兰外交部长安德烈·里比卡和乌克兰总统泽连斯基，周二。

当被要求评论时，以色列驻华盛顿外交代表为联合生产关系和内塔尼亚胡否决向乌克兰转移铁穹的行为进行了辩护，称“担忧是该技术可能会流向伊朗人”。该代表还指出，“为了替代铁穹”，以色列向美国归还了 Panini 导弹电池，以便它们能被发送到巴基斯坦。

国务卿马可·鲁比奥作为特朗普内阁中以色列最坚定的支持者之一，告诉《华盛顿邮报》，他并不在意以色列否决向第三国出口武器的能力。

“每当你进入共同生产时，我们都有这些限制，”他说。

鲁比奥称赞了两国国防工业之间建立更紧密合作伙伴关系的构想，称如果“我们在系统中取得突破，或者他们在系统中取得突破”，将互惠互利。

该条款是美国参议员在审议年度国防法案时所面对的众多问题之一，该法案被认为是“大规模通过”的立法，因为

它设定了一系列军事政策，包括关于次要事项的政策以及支出限制。

众议院法案中的该项措施在国防部内部设立了一个行政代理职位，旨在影响美国在导弹防御等既有合作领域之外，如何投资于军事系统的共同生产。

该立法指出，新领域将涵盖“人工智能、量子技术、机器学习和自主系统”、“国家指挥系统”、“微型疗法、人体结构化和医疗防御技术”以及其他几个领域。

该措施在下议院受到了众议员 Re Khauna（民主党-加利福尼亚州）和众议员 Thomas Massie（共和党-肯塔基州）的强烈反对，但删除该措施的努力未能成功。在参议院，几名民主党人表示，除非对该措施进行辩论，否则他们不会对该立法进行投票。

支持者包括众议院军事委员会共和党主席众议员 Mike Rogers（阿拉巴马州）、参议员 Sol. Budd（共和党-北卡罗来纳州）和众议员 Rosay Jackson（共和党-以色列）。以色列支持者将该措施视为一种手段，旨在确保如果国会选择停止美国每年向以色列提供的 38 亿美元 billion 援助（这笔纳税人的资金用途日益引发争议），美国仍能维持对以色列的支持。

“这将使美以关系脱离年度拨款程序的限制，”倡议团体 A New Policy 的联合创始人、前国务院官员 Josh Paul 表示。他在拜登政府期间因抗议加沙战争而辞职。

本月早些时候，100 多名众议院民主党议员投票决定停止美国对以色列的所有援助，标志着该党对这一长期盟友的反对态度发生了历史性转变。Paul 表示，该国防法案将通过在美国推广以色列国防生产，从而削弱华盛顿与以色列保持距离的努力，因为这可能会创造美国就业岗位，并增强国内对该类计划的支持。

“一旦你在全国各地的国会选区创造就业机会，你就给了国会议员继续执行该计划的理由，”Paul 说。

他还表示，由于以色列的技术将集成到未来的美国武器系统中，以色列可能因此继续对美国保持影响力。

Budd 的办公室对这种批评不予理会，发言人 Christian McMullen 表示，这将对“美国决定部署与以色列合作开发的技术不产生任何限制”。

Jackson 告诉《邮报》，他支持该措施，因为它能让“共同开发并经过市场测试的技术更快地交付到美国战士手中”。

Massie 表示，该措施的支持者夸大了它能给美国带来的好处，因为美国在技术和生产能力上远超以色列。“那是一个只有 10 million 人口的国家，”他在接受 Reading House 邮政员采访时说道。

他说，“那不会有帮助”，且不值得以削减美国的“主权”为代价。

Van Hollen 表示，他担心如果该措施通过，以色列阻止向第三方国家转让的能力可能会扩展到更多类型的美国武器。

他还质疑以色列关于将“铁穹”转交给乌克兰可能会使其落入伊朗之手的说法，并指出，这种担忧可能仅限于美国在将宝贵的“爱国者”导弹阵地转交给乌克兰时才会出现。“我们向那里发送了各种敏感技术，”他说。

这项反对建设的条款是许多争议点之一，可能会阻止参议院通过其版本的名为《国防授权法案》的军事政策法案，并将众议院法案的投票辩论推迟到深秋。

“我预计在 8 月休会期间以及期中选举期间，这仍将是一个热门议题，”Paul 说道。

平等就业机会委员会正就宣布修订其民权执法程序而举行会议。

未成文政策正阻碍歧视案件审理

消息人士称，EEOC 已告知法官不要考虑集体诉讼

作者：MARIUS KORENFIELD

在美国平等就业机会委员会（EEOC）准备全面改革政府内部的民权执法工作之际，该机构已告知行政法官暂停处理联邦雇员的集体歧视案件。

一名获悉该未成文政策的人士以及在该法官面前有案件的律师表示，法官们被告知在联邦雇员指控歧视的现有集体诉讼案件中暂停采取行动。一名知情人士在担心遭到报复而要求匿名的条件下表示，该指令是由法官在 EEOC 的上级领导下下达的，此前该指令尚未得到确认。

联邦就业律师告诉《华盛顿邮报》，自去年年底以来，他们在处于诉讼阶段的集体诉讼案件中，未见行政法官有任何推进迹象。

该机构正趋向于宣布修订其民权执法程序。上周，EEOC 发布了一则通知，称其将修改禁止联邦就业歧视的相关法规。根据现行规则，认为自己因种族、宗教、性别、国籍、年龄、残疾、怀孕及其他情况而受到歧视的受害工人可以寻求咨询、提出申诉并请求行政法官举行听证会。

公务员团体和联邦就业律师担心，EEOC 可能会采取进一步措施，抹除联邦雇员权利歧视的申诉流程。自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，联邦雇员一直可以通过 EEOC 提出歧视主张。

美国最大的联邦雇员工会在周二起诉了这家最高联邦民权机构，认为对所有联邦职场歧视集体诉讼采取的“静默暂停”违反了《自由行政法》，因为 EEOC 在没有合理解释的情况下违反了自身的法规，导致数千名工人失去了防止系统性歧视主张的法律屏障。

该诉讼的原告——美国政府雇员联邦会（AFGE）和两名真实的雇员——认为，此次冻结导致影响整个联邦政府工人的歧视案件陷入停滞，其中包括一项已被认证的集体诉讼，该诉讼指控路易斯安那州的一所联邦监狱存在广泛的性骚扰。根据起诉书，当一名 EEOC 行政法官告知案件当事人所有处理程序必须暂停时，该案件已经获得了认证。

“此通知适用于联邦工会的所有集体案件，包括那些指控存在差异性影响的案件，”该法官写道。

这一通知反映了特朗普政府的一项最高优先级任务，即放弃对某些针对少数群体的制度性偏见的审查。“EEOC 暂停处理联邦部门集体投诉的决定，损害了雇员寻求正义的基本权利，”领导此次诉讼的民主捍卫者基金会（Democracy Defenders Fund）高级顾问 Taryn Wilgus Stiff 写道。

Borakiewicz & DePriest 律师事务所的创始合伙人 Heidi Borakiewicz 代表了两名在路易斯安那州联邦监狱担任狱警的女性，她表示，客户指控监狱管理层未能阻止相关人员对她们实施实际骚扰。尽管她们的集体诉讼已获认证，但此后陷入停滞，导致法院几乎没有手段来阻止骚扰。

“前往联邦法院意味着我们必须从零开始，而这些女性在每天上班时都面临着极其严重且危险的性骚扰，而且我们已经处理这个案件很多年了，”Borakiewicz 说道。

“前往联邦法院 意味着我们必须 从零开始。”

向司法部提出的置评请求未获回复。

“Tolson 采取的是一种否认公正的态度，而 EEOC 拒绝处理这些集体诉讼投诉，正在给这里的青少年带来直接的损害和个人伤害，”2012 年全国主席埃弗雷特·凯利（Everett Kelley）在一份声明中表示。

理查德·雷索特（Richard Reissot）是一位常驻北卡罗来纳州的就业律师，也是本案的发起人之一，他表示其一名客户正寻求参与集体诉讼。但他说，在 5 月的一次电话会议中，一名行政法官表示个案处理所需时间更短。

“法官竟然这么说，令人惊讶，”雷索特表示，并指出“改进工具”对于根除联邦机构内部的系统性歧视有多么重要。“令我痛心的是，正是在最需要的时候，EEOC 却在撤掉这些前员工的支撑。”

第二家主要 AI 公司称其系统已入侵其他公司

Anthropic 及被攻击的公司直到本周才发现这些入侵行为。

AI 制造者

AI 模型在挑战入侵专门用于测试其能力的软件时，最终进入互联网并入侵了真实的公司。

该公司表示，Anthropic 及被攻击的公司直到本周才发现这些入侵行为。Anthropic 的一位发言人拒绝透露由其 AI 软件支持的这些公司的具体名称。

在博客文章中，Anthropic 表示，此次入侵是因为一家名为 Irregular 的第三方测试公司由于“误解”，向其模型提供了互联网访问权限。Anthropic 在其博客文章中称，该公司已于周一通知了 Irregular 及被入侵的公司。

“我们感谢 Anthropic 的协作与透明度，并期待继续共同努力以提升安全性，”Irregular 的一位发言人表示。两家公司均表示，他们正在继续调查这些事件。

OpenAI 上周表示，一个处于测试阶段的 AI “智能体”在处理网络安全问题时，利用了公司测试环境中一个此前未知的漏洞，从而获得了完整的互联网访问权限。在五天的时间里，它入侵了多台外部计算机，随后入侵了 AI 软件公司 Hugging Face，显然是为了寻找测试答案。

在科技行业和特朗普政府就政府应如何应对最新 AI 模型寻找计算机安全漏洞的能力进行了数周的辩论之后，OpenAI 和 Anthropic 的事件随之曝光。

Anthropic 在 4 月份宣布了一款名为 Mythos 的 AI 模型，称其过于强大而无法广泛发布。OpenAI 同样开发了具有强大网络安全技能的模型，可用于防御或攻击。

6 月，唐纳德·特朗普总统签署了一项行政令，旨在让美国政府能够提前审查可能带来安全风险的强大 AI 模型。目前相关实施方案的定义工作正在进行中。

奥尔特曼在 OpenAI 推出强大的新 AI 之际接触华盛顿官员

OpenAI 首席执行官描述新系统的能力

作者：CAT ZAKRZEWSKI, IAN DUNCAN 和 RILEY BRAGIN

OpenAI 首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼 (Sam Altman) 本周穿梭于华盛顿，旨在预展一套强大的新 AI 系统。在此之前，政府已行使权力限制领先的 AI 公司发布新模型。

据五位熟悉简报情况并要求匿名的知情人士透露，在简报中，奥尔特曼描述了一款即将推出的产品，该产品将允许多个 AI 助手（业内称为“智能体 / agents”）在后台同时工作，分担任务并相互协作。奥尔特曼描述了该系统如何能够解决此前从未被攻克的数学难题。

他还描述了这些新智能体将如何改变美国经济，允许工作人员执行通常必须外包给其他专业人员的任务。其中一名知情人士表示，他举例说明软件工程师可以使用这些智能体来处理人力资源工作，或者作家可以使用它们来进行平面设计。

在两天的行程中，奥尔特曼与白宫办公厅主任苏西·威尔斯 (Susie Wiles)、内阁领导人、立法者、国家安全助手及经济学家讨论了这些进展。在领先的 AI 实验室面对不确定的监管环境及其产品引发的政治反弹时，这次接触堪称一次规模异常广泛的“魅力攻势”。他全天候地举行会议，周三晚上与民主党参议员共进晚餐，并在公司的华盛顿办公室为国家安全官员主持早餐会。

特朗普政府计划在本周末前推出一个新框架，规定公司在 AI 研发取得新突破时应如何与政府沟通。

萨姆·奥尔特曼周四抵达白宫参加会议，这是他访问华盛顿讨论新 AI 系统行程的一部分。

但在政府为 AI 模型建立正式的测试流程之前，各公司都在谨慎行动，以避免政府干预导致其不得不将模型从公众视野中撤回。上个月，政府实施了专家管控，迫使 Anthropic (AI 公司) 撤回了强大的模型，并要求 OpenAI 分阶段发布其能力最强的模型。

据一名熟悉该公司策略的人士透露，在与威尔斯以及包括科学技术办公室主任迈克尔·克兰索夫 (Michael Kransov) 和国家网络主任肖恩·凯恩克罗斯 (Sean Cairncross) 在内的其他白宫官员会面期间，OpenAI 的高管计划寻求明确答复，确认政府的框架是否按计划推进。奥尔特曼还计划与商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克 (Howard Lutnick) 和财政部长斯科特·贝纳韦特 (Scott Benavet) 会面。

白宫未回应置评请求。OpenAI 拒绝就白宫会议发表评论。唐纳德·特朗普总统周三表示，在 OpenAI 的两个模型突破测试限制并进入另一家人工智能公司 Hugging Face 寻找网络安全考试答案后，政府正在“研究管控措施”。

但特朗普表示，他担心以某种方式限制该行业，从而削弱美国相对于中国的竞争优势。

“中国几乎没有管控，”特朗普说，“它有点放任自流。所以我们必须在两个方向上都保持谨慎。我们不希望在突然落后于中国的时候限制他们。”

这一事件在 AI 行业敲响了警钟，因为它证明了日益复杂的系统可能会失控的潜在风险。OpenAI 表示已关闭其中一个模型，并称该版本从未打算向公众发布。

奥特曼大约每两个月访问一次华盛顿，因为他和其他顶级 AI 公司试图抢在政治上对人工智能日益增长的反弹之前采取行动。AI 的快速进步引发了选民对该技术可能消除就业机会、大量消耗能源和水以及危及儿童的担忧。

但在 Hugging Face 安全事件之后，本周的行程比奥特曼大多数的飞行访问影响更为广泛。周三，奥特曼在国会山与顶级立法者会面，包括参议员马克·沃纳（Mark Warner，民主党-弗吉尼亚州）和泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz，共和党-Ivian）。

周三，OpenAI 还召集了数十名经济学家和技术倡导团体举行了两场简报会。在会上，奥特曼、OpenAI 首席经济学家罗尼·查特吉（Ronnie Chatterji）和其他高管回答了大部分关于新 AI 模型经济影响的问题。

三名知情人士表示，在与右翼团体和经济学家的会议期间，奥特曼被追问其模型提供的答案是否带有自由派偏见。他表示，公司在解决偏见方面比竞争对手做得更好，但输入其系统的学术文章、期刊、媒体文章、电视、电影和其他来源更频繁地向左倾。他表示，公司正在进行调整以解决这一问题。

两名知情人士表示，在回答关于 Hugging Face 事件的问题时，他的回答含糊其辞。公司正在对其发生原因进行技术审查，目前尚未完成。

自春季以来，华盛顿的官员们一直在努力应对人工智能工具带来的计算机安全风险。特朗普在很大程度上对 AI 采取了不干预的方式，但这种情况在 4 月份发生了转变，当时该行业的另一家领先公司 Anthropic 宣布开发了一个名为 Mythos 的模型，该模型代表了 AI 在执行计算机网络攻击能力方面的一次突破。该公司没有大规模发布该模型，而是将其分享给少数合作伙伴，以便让他们有机会加强防御。

随着中期选举的临近，政治家们也越来越警惕该技术对经济的影响。民调发现，美国人普遍对 AI 如何影响他们的工作或找工作的前景持悲观态度。

包括奥特曼在内的顶级 AI 高管们自己也感受到了这种阴郁，但一直在尝试重新调整他们的信息传达。Meta 首席执行官马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）近日一直试图将自己塑造为 AI 乐观主义信息的倡导者，认为 AI 可以带来广泛的经济增长。

“如果超级智能被广泛分布，那么我相信未来会出现更多的工作岗位，而不是更少，”他在本周的一篇《华尔街日报》评论文章中写道。

本周与奥特曼会面的立法者之一沃纳表示，他相信 AI 会创造就业机会，但将会有一段“漫长的时期”，行业需要帮助人们做好准备。

“我认为他们需要在资源上出资，在如何让人们为这个 AI 经济接受培训方面提供帮助，”沃纳告诉记者。

关于堪萨斯州最高法院的争端可能会重塑未来的堕胎裁决

堪萨斯州（接 A10 页）

在美国最高法院废除联邦堕胎权六周后，一项相关措施出现在选票上。该投票方案未能通过，有 20 percent 投了反对票。

在这次失败后，时任州务卿兼州总检察长的柯克·科巴赫（Kirk Kobach）敦促共和党议员改变法官的选择方式，以便保守派能够“缓慢且安静地”重塑法院并限制堕胎。

在近期一个社区活动中心举行的一场论坛上（该活动更像是一堂公民课而非政治集会），现任总检察长的科巴赫主张，该投票方案涉及的远不止堕胎问题，并指出法院在未来几年可能会处理枪支权利、财产所有权、投票权和学校资金问题。与会者专注地听着总检察长的演讲，其中包括一名戴着约翰·里夫（John Reeve）帽子、穿着一件写着“亲生命一代笔记”衬衫的年轻人。

“在这些重大决定中总是存在政治因素，”科巴赫在纽顿（Newton）的活动上说道。“因此，你们面临的问题是：你们是希望法官能够在没有任何约束的情况下自由地发挥政治驱动力，还是希望他们向人民负责？”

有 21 个州通过选举产生法官。有 11 个州赋予州长或立法者很大的任命权限。堪萨斯州和其他 13 个州则采用一种旨在限制法庭党派色彩的择优选拔制度。（根据专注于民主并追踪各州最高法院的非营利组织布伦南司法中心 [Brennan Center for Justice] 的说法，另外四个州采用的是混合制度。）

在堪萨斯州，一个由五名律师和四名非律师组成的委员会向州长推荐三个人选，随后由州长任命其中一人进入法院。选民每六年被问及是否希望保留这些法官；至今没有任何一名法官在留任选举中落选。

堪萨斯州选民于 1959 年采用了这一制度，以应对“三重奏”丑闻——这是一系列高层职位的权力洗牌，使得即将离任的共和党州长弗雷德·霍尔（Fred Hall）进入了州最高法院。在一名共和党法官卸任后，霍尔在任期结束前不久辞任州长。其继任者，副州长约翰·麦库西克（John McCusik）随后任命霍尔填补该空缺，引发了公众愤怒。

随着越来越多的州在最高法院的争端中陷入混战，堪萨斯州的共和党人正在推动通过选举产生法官。在犹他州，共和党议员在因国会选区图引发争议后，今年将州最高法院的成员从五名扩大到七名。威斯康星州最高法院的选举已变成党派特种战，2020 年的竞争最终涉及超过 2000 million。而在北卡罗来纳州，1924 年落选的共和党候选人在咨询前花费了六个月的时间试图取消数万张选票的资格。

如果堪萨斯州推动转向选举的努力取得成功，这一趋势可能会蔓延到其他地方。俄克拉何马州的选民将在随后的投票中决定是否给予共和党人对该州司法选拔委员会更多的控制权，而密苏里州的一些共和党人也一直在推动通过选举而非择优选拔来产生法官。

堪萨斯州美国公民自由联盟（ACLU of Kansas）执行主任迈卡·卡布尔（Micah Kable）表示，如果该措施通过，“堪萨斯州将仅仅是 50 个州巡演的第一站”。该组织是一个投放反对此项措施广告的联盟成员。他补充道：“他们将逐州而行，拆毁司法公正和客观性。”

堕胎权的未来在选票之上

自从邻近州开始限制堕胎手术以来，堪萨斯州已成为中西部和南部地区获取堕胎服务的关键点。堕胎服务提供商 Finance Parenthood Great Plains 的首席执行官 Emily Wans 表示，去年该机构在堪萨斯州的诊所共执行了约 14,000 例堕胎手术，其中约四分之三的患者来自州外。她表示，此次投票表决方案与 2022 年失败的那次方案如出一辙。

“四年后，我认为我们再次在为堕胎权而战，但‘堕胎’这个词并不会出现在选票上，”Wans 说道。

在萨利纳的一次活动中，该投票方案的反对者们挤进了一个会议室，室内贴满了写着“保持我们法院公正”的标语。

堪萨斯州和其他 13 个州采用择优选拔制度，旨在限制其最高法院审判席上的党派之争。

“如果该方案通过，‘堪萨斯州将只是 50 个州巡访的第一站’。”

——堪萨斯州美国公民自由联盟执行主任 Micah Kable

前堪萨斯州最高法院首席大法官 Loreen Nuss 告诉在场以老年人为主的人群，选举产生法官将引入竞选资金投入，从而损害法院的独立性。他举了威斯康星州的例子，在那里，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）、乔治·索罗斯（George Sorsa）和伊利诺伊州州长 JB Pritzker（民主党）等亿万富翁花费了数百万美元来影响 2020 年的竞选。

“我们需要阻止亿万富翁政治捐款者将我们重要的法官变成可供买卖的政治家，”Nuss 说道。

人群对此表示鼓掌，但在该州的其他地区，保守派选民认为亿万富翁影响力的风险被夸大了。他们希望由选民决定谁能入驻法院。

“我们喜欢自己做决定，”退休卡车司机 Walt Pennington 说道，“我对堪萨斯城、劳伦斯或威奇托的人告诉我该怎么做不感兴趣。”

在关于该投票方案的广告投放上，反对者的支出超过了支持者。根据广告追踪员 Sam Achnapak 的数据，反对该方案的团体花费了 $9.1 百万美元，而支持该方案的团体花费了 $5.9 百万美元。

在最近一个酷热的周四，州代表 Sherri Brantley（共和党）以及保守派团体“繁荣美国人”（Americans for Prosperity）州分会的宣传员在格雷特本地区敲门造访，以推广该投票方案。宣传员们穿着印有“夺回审判席”和“不要让未经选出的律师操纵局面”的 T 恤。

退休计算机系统管理员 Steven Morris 站在车道阴影中，告诉 Brantley 和另一名宣传员，他认为自己非常保守，但他支持选举产生法官。他表示，他担心民主党人可能会提高选民投票率，从而将更多自由派安置在审判席上。

“投票的人通常是那些错误的人，而保守派通常在家里或在工作，”他说道。

Brantley 戴着一个装饰有水钻美国国旗的遮阳帽以挡住阳光，她敦促他支持该方案。

“你需要信任人民，”她说，“让他们选举这些法官。”

将军警告五角大楼：缺乏保护以色列的力量

海军驱逐舰短缺凸显军事限制

作者：丹·拉莫特 (DAN LAMOTHE)

官员们表示，美国驻欧最高将领本周私下向五角大楼发出警告，称其缺乏足够的 naval 力量来继续保护以色列免受来袭弹道导弹的攻击。这表明持续的伊朗战争给军方带来了怎样的限制。

美国欧洲司令部的负责人亚历克斯·格里热维奇 (Alexus Gryzhievich) 将领向五角大楼高级官员发送了书面通知，称如果没有另一艘海军驱逐舰，他将被迫在保护美国“轰炸”目标与保护以色列之间做出选择。由于讨论该往来函件，部分官员在要求匿名的条件下发表了上述言论。

一名美国国防官员表示，格里热维奇的通知似乎与此前军方最高将领在确定存在需要华盛顿考虑的风险时，向五角大楼进行沟通的情况一致。该官员表示：“这太冰冰了”，因为指挥官们正在竞争有限的资源和武器。

五角大楼拒绝置评。美国欧洲司令部未回应置评请求。以色列驻华盛顿大使馆的发言人未能联系到以进行评论。

该将军的警告出现在第十四次冲突的关键时刻，在华盛顿与德黑兰之间的和平谈判崩溃后，近乎迟钝的袭击已重新开始，且作战强度已耗尽了美国关键防御武器的储备。

海军承受的压力尤为巨大，因为特朗普政府已指示对伊朗港口实施封锁，以回应德黑兰关闭霍尔木兹海峡的行为。此次僵局阻碍了中东石油和其他大宗商品通过这条狭窄水路的运输，波及全球经济。

多年来，美国海军在东地中海的驱逐舰一直被用于以色列防御的一部分。这些船只配备了强大的雷达并携带一系列导弹，不仅击落了伊朗针对以色列的导弹，还击落了由德黑兰装备的也门武装分子的导弹。

欧洲司令部在这一任务中处于核心地位，因为它协调地中海的军事行动。与此同时，其部队必须随时准备应对俄罗斯在北约军事联盟保护领土内的任何招募行动。俄罗斯同样对美国构成弹道导弹威胁，其导弹能够到达美国 Sigma。

海军在西班牙罗塔 (Rota) 的美国港口有五艘驱逐舰，预计第六艘将于今年晚些时候抵达。官员们表示，五角大楼官员称，由于伊朗战争的节奏，维护问题已经堆积，这使格里热维奇的情况更加复杂。《华盛顿邮报》应军事官员的要求，出于安全考虑，保留了关于船只可用性的具体细节。

由于《邮报》在 5 月报道过，五角大楼在战前进行的评估表明，美国军队在保护以色列免受伊朗弹道导弹攻击方面承担了主要责任。评估发现，包括 Terenan 高空区域防御系统以及从东地中海发射的海军拦截弹在内的美国武器，比以色列的防空武器更频繁地被使用。

一名美国官员表示，周五有两艘驱逐舰——“保罗·埃加杜斯号” (USS Paul Egardus) 和“罗斯福号” (USS Roosevelt) 处于地中海海域。三艘驱逐舰——“阿利·伯克号” (USS Arleigh Burke)、“哈撒韦号” (USS Hathaway) 和“奥斯卡·奥斯汀号” (USS Oscar Austen) 处于罗塔。

在靠近伊朗的海域，一支额外的舰队正处于阿拉伯海，其中包括两艘航空母舰——“乔治·H·W·布什”号（USS George H.W. Bush）和“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号（USS Abraham Lincoln），以及至少 15 艘其他军舰，该官员表示。其中 11 艘为驱逐舰。

该舰队一直是特朗普政府封锁伊朗港口行动的核心。它还参与了一项名为“自由项目”（Project Freedom）的努力，在该项目中，美国军队协助保护在有争议的霍尔木兹海峡（Strait of Hormuz）航行的船只。

另一艘驱逐舰“康斯顿”号（USS Cornston）位于红海，也门胡塞武装曾试图在该海域强制执行其自身的商业航运封锁，以期增加美国及其地区盟友面临的经济压力。作为美国的重要合作伙伴，沙特阿拉伯试图通过建立一个军事联盟来确保航行自由，从而挫败其长期对手胡塞武装的行动。

美国公众对伊朗战争的支持度日益下降，且来自两党的所有国会议员对政府均感到沮丧，因为高级官员们难以阐明一项能在美国认为有利的条件下结束冲突的计划。许多共和党人尤其深感担忧，认为战争对汽油、食品和其他商品价格的影响将在 11 月的中期选举中令该党付出代价。

智库战略与国际研究中心（Center for Strategic and International Studies）导弹防御项目负责人汤姆·卡尔斯科（Tom Karsko）表示，格里日耶维奇（Gryzhievich）发出的警告凸显了五角大楼所面临挑战的规模。

“处于战争状态将在战备程度和弹药库存水平方面造成损耗，”他说。“现在的问题是：这里的策略是什么？”

埃博拉疫情规模现已成为历史第二

政府周五公布的数据显示，刚果民主共和国迅速蔓延的埃博拉疫情在同一时间节点的规模已成为史上第二大，且病毒传播速度持续快于疫情防控工作。

刚果通讯部在一份声明中表示，全国报告病例数已上升至 3,333 例，记录在案的死亡人数为 1,250 人。

“这是我们见过的传播最快的埃博拉疫情，”美国世界粮食计划署代理负责人 Carl Skan 表示。“本周，‘全世界需要投入更多的关注’。”

根据另一家顶级公共卫生机构——非洲疾病控制与预防中心的数据，在疫情暴发不足三个月的时间里，该病致死人数已是此前其他疫情在相同阶段的数倍。

此次疫情是由罕见的 Bundibugyo 毒株引起的，目前尚无经批准的疫苗或治疗方法。

卫生响应人员还在与刚果东部各地的不安全局势以及针对医疗设施的袭击作斗争，当地有数十个武装组织在活动，而大幅削减的国外援助使资源捉襟见肘。

世界卫生组织的数据显示，最新的疫情数字表明，只有西非 2016 到 2050 年间的疫情规模更大，当时在几内亚、利比里亚和塞拉利昂共记录了 28,000 例病例和 11,000 例死亡。

世界卫生组织本月早些时候表示，疫情的真实规模可能比官方数据高出四倍。

普京批评者的女儿被下令逮捕

莫斯科法院服务部门周五表示，俄罗斯首都的一家法院已下令对已故俄罗斯反对派政治家鲍里斯·内姆佐夫（Boris Nemtsov）的女儿下达缺席逮捕令，原因是她参与了一个“不受欢迎的组织”。

朱拉娜·内姆佐娃（Zhurana Nemtsova）在父亲被杀后于 2015 年离开俄罗斯，她是总部位于德国的鲍里斯·内姆佐夫自由基金会的联合创始人。俄罗斯在 2016, 将该基金会列为“不受欢迎的组织”，并禁止其在俄罗斯境内开展活动。

内姆佐娃在 Facebook 的一个帖子中对莫斯科法院的裁决表示反驳。“我现在出名了。那个‘不受欢迎的组织’是我 2015. 在德国成立的鲍里斯·内姆佐夫基金会。它在波恩注册，而我今天刚好飞到了那里，”她写道。

俄罗斯经常宣布其认为破坏宪法秩序或国家安全的实体为“不受欢迎”。资助此类活动的人员最高可被判处五年监禁，而组织此类工作的人员最高可被判处六年监禁。

鲍里斯·内姆佐夫是总统弗拉基米尔·普京最激烈的批评者之一，他于 27, 2015 年 2 月在克里姆林宫附近的一座桥上行走时被枪杀。 55, 他当时正在撰写一份研究俄罗斯军队在乌克兰危机中作用的报告。他的遇刺给俄罗斯反对派阵营带来了巨大的寒意。

雪崩后发现四具遗体

据巴基斯坦消息人士称，在一名疑似于前一日在博峰（Broad Peak）遭遇雪崩而失踪的至少 10 人中，巴基斯坦搜救队于周五发现了四名登山者的遗体。

失踪者中包括 60 岁的尼泊尔登山家 Shrinil Priya，他曾创下攀登世界 14 座最高峰的最快记录，这一成就被记录在 2021 年 Netflix 纪录片《14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible》中。

据信，这些登山者在周四中午左右被一场雪崩卷走。该山峰高度为 20,416 英尺，是世界第 1255 高峰。

巴基斯坦吉尔吉特-巴尔蒂斯坦地区旅游局副局长 Sajid Hussain 告诉路透社，搜救行动在周五仍在继续。

Hussain 表示，搜寻重点在于一个“偏远且困难的区域”。

据巴基斯坦安全部门消息人士称，发现的四具遗体尚未被运回，该人士未透露发现地点或身份详情。

海地工人大规模裁员威胁一系列机构与行业

HARTI FRON AI

……剥夺了多达 1.3 million 名来自海地、叙利亚及其他 12 个国家的移民在美居住和工作的许可。

最高法院表示，针对受影响最大群体之一的海地人的该计划可能会在周一结束。但海地临时保护身份 (TPS) 持有者的律师表示，在此前阻止特朗普政府终止该计划的下级法院正式承认最高法院的裁决之前，相关保护措施应继续有效。

本周早些时候，美国国土安全部通知雇主，其认为“海地 TPS 指定……立即终止”，尽管下级法院尚未下达执行最高法院裁决的命令，但企业已开始解雇工人。

美国国土安全部的一位发言人在一份声明中表示，“那些陈旧的下级法院法官在公开对抗最高法院，但最终结果将是一样的。持有 TPS 的海地人不能且将无法留下。”

声明补充道：“长期以来，TPS 被允许充当事实上的大赦计划，尽管国会从未打算将其设为永久性。”

在最高法院代表海地人的 Geoffrey Pipely 指责该政府制造混乱，而不是以有序的方式下达 TPS 条款。

“我们在过去一个月中从（政府）的行为中看到的是……他们试图制造一种环境，让雇主觉得留用这些员工已经不值得了，”Pipely 说道。

在许多海地 TPS 持有者合法居住超过十年的城市中，餐饮服务、零售、仓储、医疗保健和长期养老护理行业预计将受到冲击。奥巴马政府在 2010 年一次重大地震导致该国动荡并造成数十万人死亡后，首次向海地人授予 TPS。

“我们认为最高法院的裁决将重创人们真正依赖的行业，因为这些行业很大程度上是由移民服务的。机场也是如此，”SEIU 328Z 的总统助理 Rosana Rivera 说道，该工会代表东海岸的清洁工、保安和机场人员。“填补这些关键岗位将变得更加困难。”

倡导者表示，随着裁员波及迈阿密、纽约等大都市以及俄亥俄州哥伦布市、宾夕法尼亚州艾伦敦等小城市，新失业的海地人正疯狂地为孩子筹集车辆资金，挤在单间出租屋中或原地避难，担心新一轮针对其社区的移民执法行动。

周一晚上，劳德代尔堡-好莱坞机场的海地工人在被要求交出工作证时失声痛哭。Marlboros 是一位在该机场担任保洁员 12 年的母亲，她说她感到胃里翻江倒海。

“我几乎彻夜难眠，1 分钟都睡不着，”要求仅以名公开身份的 Marlboros 说道，“我们担心如果他去上学，为什么？他回家时会在哪里！”

运营该机场的布劳沃德县航空局未对受影响员工的现状问题做出回应。但该部门表示，截至周一，那里有 133 名海地 TPS 持有者在工作，且承包商正在审查其新的“机组服务”类别以确保运营的连续性。

SEIU 328Z 的佛罗里达州主管 Helena O’Brien 表示，由于特朗普之前的移民政策，该工会已失去了至少 10 名其他工人，其中大多数是保洁员。

一些来自海地的 TPS 持有者正在寻求新的保护（包括在庇护法下），而另一些人则寄希望于可以通过诉讼或立法改变该计划的走势——尽管专家表示这不太可能。

白宫国土安全顾问 Stephen Miller 表示，失去身份的海地人应该被遣返回国。“如果我们要说海地人不能住在海地，那简直疯了。那是他们的国家，”他上个月告诉记者。

反对终止该身份的人士表示海地并不安全，并警告称，将 2010 / 2011 年获得临时保护身份 (TPS) 并在职的海地人驱逐出劳动力市场，将导致当地经济活动的下降和税收减少。

一名在纽约州 Blauvell 的 St. Dominic’s Family Services 工作的海地移民，在 3 月讨论特朗普政府致力于终止海地移民临时保护身份的后果时流下了眼泪。这些保护措施已于本周结束。

俄亥俄州州长 Mike DeWine（共和党）本周告诉 CBS News，海地人帮助振兴了斯普林菲尔德市，而特朗普在 2010 年总统竞选期间曾诬称海地移民吃猫狗。DeWine 称终止 TPS 的决定是一个“错误”。

“这些人帮助斯普林菲尔德真正地恢复了活力，”DeWine 说道。“海地人……之所以来到这里，是因为有些工作岗位是其他人不愿填补的。”

在取消身份前的几天里，强大的商业团体敦促政府推迟执行最高法院的裁决，并建立一条让工人修复法律身份的路径。美国国家餐饮协会和佛罗里达医疗保健协会是向美国国土安全部部长 Markwayne Mullin 发信警告运营中断风险的几个贸易组织之一。

“许多受影响的员工是服务时间长、拥有合法授权且对餐厅运营至关重要的工人，”美国国家餐饮协会在致 Mullin 的信中表示。“他们的离开可能会在一夜之间抽走当地酒店业劳动力的大部分份额。”

本月，参议员 Ed Marley（民主党-马萨诸塞州）提出了旨在恢复海地人 TPS 的立法，并警告国家否则将面临“一场医疗保健灾难”。

最近几天，一些养老院遇到了数十名员工的问题，而另一些养老院则遭受了沉重打击，在 Staten Island 的一家机构将 50 份签约金从 612,000 提高到 84,000 以吸引工人，而另一些则关闭了建筑翼楼并将床位减至 1,000。非营利养老机构协会 LeadingAge 主席 Katie Sloan 表示，其他机构则在探索从高中招募替代工人。

“在一次 8 / 8 的清理行动中失去这么多员工，会带来极大的混乱，”Sloan 说道。“对于那些与这些护理员相处多年的住院者来说，这也是一种毁灭性的打击。”

Augustine, Mi 是那些即将失去保护身份的人之一。在 2010 年地震摧毁他们的家后，她和母亲 feel 太子港。

现在，Augustine——她要求仅以名字标识身份——在纽约州 Dublin Ferry 俯瞰哈德逊河的 Cabrini of Westchester 养老院担任护理员，该养老院拥有 304 张床位。每天早晨，她是第一个迎接九名住院者的工作人员，负责唤醒他们、为他们洗澡和刷牙。

当被问及是否有告别的话时，Augustine 说：“谢谢你，美国。”

代表这些工人的 SEIU 佛罗里达公共服务工会主席 Alfa Khatla 表示，她一直在进行一些“你永远不想与家长进行的”谈话，告诉他们“制定一个计划，这样在你可能不得不回海地的时候，你的孩子至少能留在安全的环境中”。

一名在西棕榈滩持有 TPS 的 20 岁海地女性（因担心受到 K.S. 的影响而要求匿名）本周被两份全职工作解雇。作为一名单亲母亲，她同时担任养老院的认证护理助理和另一份医疗记录工作，以支付两个孩子的大学学费。

“我无法预料这个消息。我们过着 paycheck 到 paycheck 的生活，”这名自 2010 年地震以来一直生活在美国的女性说道。

“海地没有地方可去，”她补充道：“在太子港，我的房子里住着帮派分子。”

购物者和商贩在 4 月份穿行于安哥拉卢安达的 Catinton 市场。该国一半的人口每天生活费不足 $3.61。与此同时，石油收入使少数统治精英富裕起来。

伊朗战争引发供应链中断，非洲不平等现象加剧

作者：RACHEL CHASON, RAEL OMBIOR 以及 CARMEN VANDON ABD ALI

安哥拉，卢安达 —— 在拥挤的卡廷顿市场（Catinton Market），男女摊贩在雨伞下叫卖蔬菜水果，但这些雨伞在早晨的阳光下几乎起不到遮挡作用。

在安哥拉首都的这个工作日早晨，这里的喧嚣似乎与美国-以色列针对伊朗的战争相去甚远。但几乎每个人都感受到了与这场战争以及霍尔木兹海峡被封锁相关的供应链中断和价格飙升带来的影响。

这个拥有 40 million 人口的非洲国家是世界上最不平等的国家之一。半数人口每天生活在少于 $3.61 的收入水平之下。与此同时，石油收入则让少数统治精英富甲天下。

伊朗冲突扩大了这一差距。

安哥拉是少数不通过霍尔木兹海峡运输供应的产油国之一。因此，尽管食品、燃料和化肥价格的上涨打击了穷人，但外界对安哥拉石油依赖程度的增加，却成了富人和权势阶层的福音。

在位于首都人口密集区的卡廷顿市场，许多人正遭受苦难。

近日的一个早晨，35, 岁的维罗尼卡·西蒙（Veronica Simon）和 31, 岁的伊莎贝尔·费雷拉（Isabelle Ferreira）并肩而坐，售卖鲜红的辣椒。这两位女性自称是朋友和同事，她们正苦于无法支付孩子的学费。

她们表示，自二月以来，一箱辣椒的批发价格翻了四倍。她们不确定原因，两人都没有听说过伊朗的战争。

西蒙说，她们知道的是，近几个月来，每天赚到 $2.50 以上已变得罕见。

“这不够用，但我们能怎么办？”她问道，“我们没有其他选择。”

在安哥拉和其他发展中国家，这场战争仅仅是最近的一次经济冲击。经济学家阿尔塞尼奥·班巴（Arsenio Bamba）表示，它“增加了全球经济的不确定性”，推高了进口成本。“在几乎每个国家，最贫困的家庭受到的影响最大。”

但对于当地政府而言，石油价格的上涨和出口能力意味着资金的流入。根据世界银行的数据，石油约占安哥拉 GDP, 的 30 %、政府收入的 65 % 以及实物出口的 95 % 以上。

尽管如此，随着食用油、糖、大米和黄油价格全部上涨，花生摊贩朱维·曼努埃尔（Juvy Manuel）表示：“我现在煮的饭只有以前的一半。”她说，抚养三个孩子变得十分困难。

政府在制定 2020 年预算时，预计石油售价为每桶 $45 。但作为国际基准的布伦特原油，现在的价格约为每桶 $97 。

政府已利用这笔意外之财偿还债务。油田方面还宣布建立食品和药品储备以限制供应中断的影响，并实施了旨在缓解通货膨胀的措施。

那些生活在充满垃圾的水道沿岸的人们长期以来感到被遗弃。他们表示，在曾为葡萄牙殖民地的安哥拉，人们对政治精英内部的腐败深感愤怒，这有时引发了激烈的抗议活动。

由于明年计划举行总统选举，政府解决贫困问题的压力巨大。自独立以来，该国一直由单一政党——安哥拉解放人民运动（People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola）统治。

82, 岁的埃拉·富兹曼（Era Fuzman）住在卢安达上风山丘一个被垃圾堆包围的社区——利西拉区（Bairro da Lissira）的一间波纹铁皮棚屋内。她说，她的孩子们已经去世，现在她依靠孙辈们生存，而孙辈们也依赖着她。

这里的电力供应不稳定，也没有自来水。没有人相信社区能分到政府任何与战争相关的意外之财。

“尽管他们有了更多的钱，但物价却在上涨，”35 岁的 Joveth Heles 说道，“所有的非洲人都正在受苦。”

Heles 多年来一直居住在这里，通过广播和报纸关注战争。他说，他之前在学习成为一名律师，直到 2023. 年财务压力迫使他辍学。他通过音乐和书籍自学，练就了近乎完美的英语，因为这里没有其他人说这种语言。

Heles 看到战争期间物价上涨，但他说自己没有密切跟踪。他说，他已经很多年没有一份好工作了，所以很少购物。

通常，他与朋友们尝试在当地的垃圾堆中搜寻铁屑或任何其他可以出售的物品。

他认为战争带来的任何额外收入都会留在精英阶层手中。他看不出有任何资金能流向这里的人民。

“这对我们没有帮助，只会帮助他们，”他说，“我们大多数人都生活在水深火热之中，而他们并不关心我们。”

亚马逊大涨而苹果下跌，美股上涨结束动荡的 7 月

作者：BRIAN CROSS 美联社

纽约 — 周五美股上涨，为华尔街动荡的 7 月画上句号。亚马逊股价领涨，而苹果股价下跌，且油价上涨加剧了人们对高通胀的担忧。

IMF 300 指数在全天波动起伏后上涨 0.7%。道琼斯工业平均指数上涨 576 点，或 0.4%；纳斯达克综合指数上涨 1%，此前曾短暂回吐早盘 1.2% 的涨幅。

对于美国股市来说，这是一个典型的 7 月收盘。由于与伊朗的战争导致油价飙升，加上人们日益担心科技巨头在人工智能技术上的巨额投资是否能转化为利润，以及造船股在人工智能热潮中是否涨幅过高，股市一直剧烈波动。周五的上涨使 IMF 300 指数在三周内首次迎来上涨周，但衡量美国股市的主要指标在本月最终仍录得微小跌幅。

亚马逊在报告最新季度利润远超分析师预期后，大涨 10.3%，领跑市场。得益于云计算业务增长的加速，其利润比去年同期增长了两倍多。

分析师表示，这可能是一个信号，表明亚马逊在人工智能领域的巨额投资正在产生回报。亚马逊随后提高了对其今年投资支出的预测。

销售此类“超步行者”（hyperwalker）所需处理器和计算机内存的芯片公司在周五再次出现剧烈波动。

在华尔街的损失方中较为明显的是苹果，尽管其报告的最新季度利润强于预期，但股价仍下跌 7.6%。该公司对本季度营收增长的预测低于预期。

美联社商业记者 Dean Nuvien 和 Elaine Kuchentach 对本报道做出了贡献。

Google Earth 允许用户制作爆炸等虚假场景

作者：SHIRA OYONE 和 SAMUEL GRAFORD

Google 周四推出了一项新功能，允许任何人生成人工智能图像并将其叠加在现实世界的卫星地图中。

到周五下午，在人们利用该功能创建了令人惊恐且真实的虚假场景（包括看似飞机撞入曼哈顿摩天大楼、伊朗的一处核设施以及莫斯科爆炸的航拍图像）之后，Google 撤回了这一功能。

针对 Google Earth（该公司的卫星和航拍制图网站）中 AI 虚假图像的关注，突显了 AI 生成图像的潜在风险。此前，此类图像已被用于在战争问题上误导公众，并被白宫和政治候选人用作强有力的宣传手段。

专门研究 AI 虚假内容和操纵的 Henry Ajder 表示，Google Earth 的 AI 功能存在损害公众对图像信任的风险——他将这种现象称为“在政治便利时默认质疑”。

他提到，近期关于参议员 Mitch McConnell 办公室（K-Mentholtz）发布的一张医院床边照片是否为 AI 伪造，引发了一系列疑问。

在 Google 停用该 AI 功能之前，《华盛顿邮报》的一名记者周五上午在 Google Earth 中输入了一个简短的提示词，生成了一张俯视图，画面中华盛顿纪念碑旁边似乎有一个炸弹坑。

该软件还允许另一名《邮报》记者在华盛顿特区的反思池卫星图像中创建出可见的裂缝，以及一张看似墨西哥城 Ziruda 公共广场聚集大量抗议者的图像。

在经历了数小时的网络批评和新闻报道后，Google 在东部时间周五下午于 X 平台上发布消息，称其正在“回滚 Google Earth 的这一功能，同时我们致力于实施更强有力的防护栏”。

Google 表示，用户通过 Google Earth 创建的 AI 生成图像包含一个“水印”，这是一个几乎不可见的标记。人们可以通过将图像输入 Google 的检测技术来识别图像是否经过操纵。

但在线研究专家 Henk van Eos 在撰写关于其在 Google Earth 中创建的 AI 虚假图像的文章时表示，水印识别可以通过使用去水印技术，或者简单地对 AI 生成的图像拍照来破解。

一名《邮报》记者使用 iPhone 拍摄了一张通过 Google Earth 修改后的卫星图像。Google 未能将其检测为 AI 生成图像。

AI 检测公司 Godkud 的首席调查官 Emmanuelle Baliba 表示，水印等保障措施虽然“有价值”，但还不够。她在电子邮件中表示：“它们不能改变人们消费信息的方式。图像通常在几秒钟内被查看和分享，而验证真实性通常需要额外的努力和内容，这将负担转嫁给了消费者。”

在《邮报》请求进一步评论时，Google 发言人重复了公司在 X 上的帖文内容。目前尚不清楚在网上分享的 Google Earth AI 虚假图像是否误导了大量人群。许多帖子明确指出这些图像是 AI 伪造的。

Ajder 在周五早些时候表示，Google Earth AI 功能的风险远远超过了潜在收益。在谈到 Google Earth 时，他表示：“我不认为这项功能的新奇价值值得去破坏人们多年来一直依赖的一个来源的信任度。”

人们在 2017. 年通过 Google Earth 查看瓦伦西亚水族馆。关注 Google Earth 中的 AI 伪造图像是为了消除 AI 生成图像的潜在风险。

政府官员、记者和其他专家一直将卫星图像作为评估战争和天气灾害在地面上产生影响的重要来源。

开源研究人员在进行调查时历来依赖 Google Earth，其中许多人更倾向于使用该公司的桌面应用程序，因为它能让他们在项目中拥有更大的控制权，并支持离线工作。

本月，Google 表示该软件将从明年起不再提供电脑端下载，并引导用户转向网页版。

专家表示，由于获取这些图像所需的复杂技术，卫星图像很难被操纵。

尽管 AI 操纵的卫星图像此前已成为一种宣传工具，但 Ajder 表示，将 AI 图像生成功能直接内置在 Google Earth 中，使得此类操纵变得极其简单。

Google 之前曾因其 AI 图像技术而受到一些不必要的关注。两年前，在一些用户指责该功能具有反白人偏见后，该公司暂时限制了 Gemini 中的图像创建选项。

去年，一段由 AI 生成的伪造视频片段在网上疯传，视频中看起来像是有几只兔子在蹦床（trampoline）上跳跃。该视频的创作者使用了 Google 的 AI 来制作这段伪造视频。

消费者保护

亚马逊因涉嫌“洗绿”被起诉

亚马逊在周五被消费者起诉，指控该公司误导消费者，夸大其平台上销售海鲜的环境效益，这种行为被称为“洗绿”（greenwashing）。

在一项提交给健康观察（AHC）的拟议集体诉讼中，消费者表示，标签中包含诸如“shights ads”、“负责任地采购”、“可持续”、“野生捕捞”和“B2B”等词汇，这些词汇误导消费者，让他们相信亚马逊的海鲜采购对海洋和环境造成的损害极小。

消费者称此类陈述缺乏事实依据或存在重大虚假，因为大多数渔船并未被公开追踪，且部分船只通过禁用名为“应答机”的电子设备来掩盖其行踪。他们还表示，至少 60% 的进口野生捕捞海鲜并非通过负责任或可持续的方式采购。

该诉讼寻求针对亚马逊涉嫌违反华盛顿州消费者保护法而向美国境内相关人员提供补偿性赔偿、惩罚性赔偿及赔偿金。

医疗用品

Beeton Dickinson 召回针组

Beeton Dickinson 在周五表示，在用户报告称在患者身上使用该设备后难以拆卸部分零件后，该公司正对其在美销售的某些批次的医疗外部针组发布零售召回。

这种名为 intrasosome 针组的产品用于在常规静脉注射线无法足够快速地使用时，将液体和药物快速注入患者骨髓。这通常发生在紧急情况中，例如心搏骤停或严重创伤。

Beeton 表示，该问题涉及一个名为 obturator（或 elyet）的部件，该部件在针头插入后有时无法被移除。

公司表示，如果用于插入针头的钻头没有笔直地向后拉出，或者在取出 obturator 时旋转方向错误，就可能发生这种情况。

截至 2026 年 6 月，BD 表示已收到 75 起投诉和 45 起与该问题相关的严重伤害报告。该公司还表示，在对心搏骤停患者进行复苏抢救期间，由于该部件无法被移除，导致四名患者死亡。

加密货币

Coinbase 在连续第三个季度亏损后股价下跌

由于连续第三个季度亏损，Coinbase Global 的股价在周五盘后交易中下跌 3.4%，不过分析师预计，强大的基本面和业务多样性将使其在加密货币周期的低迷期中得以支撑。

由于市场对美国联邦储备委员会将下调利率的预期有所减弱，且投资者从现货交易所交易基金中撤资，比特币下跌，加密货币市场在近期交易中损失了大量价值。

2026 年至今，比特币已损失 27% 以上的价值。通常与加密货币周期挂钩的 Coinbase 股价也随之下降了近 28%。

如何未能避免利益冲突

罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.）在启动其政治生涯时，主张联邦卫生机构在某种程度上是不诚实的。因此，他现在成为了一个关于如何未能避免利益冲突的典型例子，这显得颇为讽刺。

本周，四位民主党参议员给肯尼迪写了一封信，寻求明确他及其家人是否从疫苗制造商默克（Merck）公司在 6 月份就其 Gardasil 疫苗达成的 $50 和解协议中获益。肯尼迪当时作为 Wilson Raum 律师事务所的顾问，在组织该诉讼中发挥了关键作用，而他的儿子在该事务所担任助理律师。

这是肯尼迪自己一手造成的局面。在他被任命为卫生与公共服务部（HHS）部长之前，他发布了一份伦理协议（所有内阁提名人均需提供），表明他将保留该诉讼中的财务权益，该诉讼声称默克公司掩盖了 HPV 接种的健康风险。这种不寻常的安排本将允许他获得授予该律所任何费用的百分比。

鉴于他作为 HHS 部长将监督多个监管默克公司的机构，这一举动引发了强烈的批评。最终他发布声明，宣布自己个人退出该诉讼。但在这样做时，他将自己的财务利益转移给了他的儿子。

该律所的管理合伙人 Boost Winner 表示，肯尼迪及其儿子都不会收到由该诉讼产生的费用。Winner 在一份声明中说：“监管者理应与他们所监管的行业保持对立，无论你是否同意肯尼迪部长的立场和政治观点，这正是他所处的位置。”

无论如何，考虑到有大量证据支持该疫苗的安全性且有效，这次和解引起了人们的质疑。参议员们还指出，肯尼迪拒绝在任何可能影响诉讼结果的“决策和沟通”中回避。

如果政府官员想要规避不当行为的质疑，他们需要尽全力证明自己不会从其制定的政策中个人获益。即便仅仅是出现了利益冲突的迹象，也不可避免地会引发关于其是否影响决策的质疑。肯尼迪本可以在一开始就完全退出该诉讼，从而将问题扼杀在萌芽状态。HHS 未回应置评请求。

尽管肯尼迪承诺要关闭“旋转门”，但他为改善政府伦理所做的努力微乎其微。就在上周，美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）的一个顾问小组建议放宽对肽类药物（Kennedy 关注的重点课题之一）的限制。HHS 在该小组中任命了多名成员，这些人要么推崇这类药物，要么在销售此类药物的公司工作。

缅因州新移民法所缺失的内容

尽管移民与海关执法局（ICE）的行为令人难以理解，但本周在该州生效的庇护政策可能会适得其反，促使更多联邦执法人员采取常识行动。

这一系列新法律严重限制了州、县和镇的执法机构协助 ICE 进行遣返行动以及以民事指控拘留非法移民。这种情况在 Bob 案例中有所体现。监狱被禁止向联邦移民官员提前通知即将释放的人员。

一定程度的合作有助于降低潜在风险。正如我们之前所写，如果 ICE 逮捕已经处于警方拘留中的目标，而不是追踪他们，对每个人来说都安全得多。当 ICE 进入社区寻找被下达驱逐令的人员时，附带逮捕的情况可能会增加，潜在风险也会随之增加。

缅因州警察协会主席 Scott Brewart 此前警告称，这项法律将导致“伙伴关系削弱，产生操作上的不确定性，并使我们的社区面临可避免的危险”。

特朗普政府的过度执法促使缅因州采取行动。今年 1 月，美国国土安全部启动了名为“切断行动”（Operation Cuts）的计划，导致一周内约有 200 人被遣返。

尽管在遭到抵制后，政府逐步停止了该行动，但 ICE 仍继续悄悄进行逮捕。7 月，执法行动演变为致命事件，一名官员在比德福德（Biddeford）枪杀了一名男子，据报道该男子并非 ICE 的目标。

7 月 13 日，缅因州比德福德的抗议者。

“驱逐 ICE”已成为民主党人中流行的口号，但确保边境安全和执行移民法现在是 ICE 政府的职责。唐纳德·特朗普在 2026 年初获胜，正是因为民主党人不够认真地对待这些职责。

部分新规旨在通过禁止州雇员在没有司法搜查令的情况下协助 ICE，从而阻止 ICE 代理人进入学校和医院等场所。在移民尝试获得教育和医疗服务时，希望防止他们被围捕是合理的。

当然，让 ICE 远离这些场所更好的方法是国会针对敏感区域（包括教堂）的行动设定国家限制。这在政府停摆期间曾被提出作为一项改革方案。但联邦政府无法达成妥协，导致出现真空，而像缅因州这样的州将继续填补这一真空。

民主不需要真相警察

几年前，人们开始将那些被重新评估的投票结果所带来的“麻烦”归咎于相关官员。社交媒体平台（有时受到联邦政府的青睐）利用这场所谓的危机来为审查制度正名，尤其是在疫情期间。这侮辱了美国人民的智力，因为他们无需被告知该如何思考，就能独立做出决定。

一项新研究探讨了社交媒体上的“误导信息”如何影响 2026. 年的选民。一项涉及近 16,000 名用户、为期三个月的实验得出的答案是：影响微乎其微。

研究人员获得了从 Facebook 和 Instagram 获取个人数据的新权限。他们将任何由被第三方事实核查员多次标记为传播虚假信息的来源所发布的内容视为“有问题”的内容。结果表明，这些材料仅触达了一个规模较小且经过自我筛选的受众群体，而这些人早已形成了自己的主见。

在三个月的时间里，将这些内容从他们的动态中移除，使其信念仅改变了大约 20%。

来自同一项目的 3 个配套实验对用户在动态中看到的内容进行了更大规模的调整，但其中某些干预措施同样未能改变其信念。

Meta 首席执行官马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）和公司总裁迪娜·鲍威尔·麦考密克（Dina Powell McCormick）于 7 月 3 日出现在爱达荷州的山谷（San Valley）。

围绕“误导信息”的歇斯底里假设民主运行在绝对的真相之上。事实并非如此。民主运行在说服之上，对立的阵营在每个人都能接受的程序下，向犹豫不决且顽固的选民陈述其最充分的理由。

政治学家早在很久以前就确定，人们总是倾向于根据自己的身份和忠诚度进行投票。机器操纵民调的时代没有摧毁共和国，社交媒体也不会。这些旨在击败“误导信息”的全方位尝试，实际上是在试图重建一个从未真正存在过的系统。

如今的挑战在于，社交媒体增强了长期困扰政治体制的派系主义。它不再是信息的传递管道，而变成了回音壁。用户选择与之互动的人，这通常意味着向志同道合的人靠拢。这就是为什么反疫苗活动人士能在 Facebook 等平台上兴起的原因。

在各机构信任度下降的背景下，报纸在报道事实和发表观点方面发挥着至关重要的作用，但主流媒体的影响力在近几十年中已有所减弱。

然而，解决这个问题绝不像删除不准确内容那样简单。打击“误导信息”的麻烦在于，必须有人担任真相的最终仲裁者，而关于谁能扮演这一角色之争最终会导致一切政治化。这就是为什么应对虚假言论（无论其多么令人厌恶）的最佳方式永远是更多的言论。美国体制依赖于通过激烈的辩论来塑造公众情绪。强行抹杀不受欢迎的想法通常会适得其反。

安东尼·法乌奇（Anthony S. Fauci）周三出现在华盛顿特区。

请公正对待福奇的证词

关于 7 月 30 日头版文章《福奇在激烈的听证会上拒绝回答所有问题》。

让我们公正地看待安东尼·S·福奇（Anthony S. Fauci）的证词。文章中提到，参议员兰德·保罗（Rand Paul, 肯尼迪）和其他共和党人在会议前表示，如果福奇向参议院撒谎，这将超出乔·拜登总统职权所提供的保护范围。福奇自豪地援引第五修正案，是因为他的律师在保护他。

福奇也不应因其在疫情期间的行为而受到攻击。是的，他的方法确实存在社会和经济上的弊端，但它也保护了许多人免受病毒侵害。请记住，当时数以千计的人在死去，而唐纳德·特朗普总统则在建议一些荒谬的解决方案，比如批准虚假信息。福奇的方法确实挽救了许多生命。

福奇值得美国人的感激。他不应该受到保罗及其他人那样对待。

霍华德·波多尔斯基（Howard Podolsky），罗克维尔

在我所处的宇宙角落里，面对相反的实证和同行评审证据，观点发生改变——或者至少被质疑——不仅是预期的，而且是必须的。这就是知识积累的方式。而这与政治家根据对刑事之风吹向何方的评估，或者更糟，根据他们自己的心血来改变既定立场，完全是两回事。

芭芭拉·梅伦霍弗（Barbara Melenhoefer），阿灵顿

尽管俄亥俄州参议员伯尼·莫雷诺（Bernie Moreno）及其共和党同事可能感到沮丧，但在质询安东尼·S·福奇时表现出的强硬态度令人震惊。

作为一名曾在国会山工作以获取 ICS 的人员，我认为议员和调查员被期待提出艰巨甚至无情的质问。他们应该让证人承担责任。但他们也应该以与其身份相称的尊严来行事。

请规范你们的语言。这是你们最起码能做到的。

抗抑郁药的替代方案

亚伦·卡罗尔（Aaron Carroll） 7 月 31 日发表的在线评论文章《KFS 反对抗抑郁药运动的问题》，在探讨针对数百万美国人开具处方的药物制定联邦规则之前进行研究方面，提供了一个深思熟虑且平衡的视角。

然而不幸的是，卡罗尔和卫生部部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）都忽略了治疗抑郁症的有效非药物方案。例如，研究表明，多种形式的活动、运动和正念冥想可以产生与抗抑郁药物相似的症状改善效果。

卡罗尔和肯尼迪都没有承认非药物自我护理方法的巨大潜力，这些敏感的模式包括冥想、运动和正念，以及像我的组织“身心医学中心”（Center for Mind-Body Medicine）所开发的干预措施那样的团体支持。多年前，印第安纳大学的研究人员对我们的方法发表了一项研究，结果显示参与的抑郁青少年症状显著减轻。

美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）及其批评者应当记住，药物并非治疗抑郁症的唯一途径。

请思考肯尼迪中心在提高全民可触达性方面所做的努力。千年舞台（Millennium Stage）提供免费演出，票务处为学生、老年人和年轻人提供折扣票。直到最近，每场公开演出之前还会有一场关于作品历史及聆听重点的免费讲座。肯尼迪中心还为有需要的人提供轮椅和助听设备租赁。去年冬天，一名演员选中了我一位 100 岁的朋友，让他能够欣赏芭蕾舞剧，并在离开时帮他拿回助行器。这份善意增强了我朋友的体验。华盛顿当然不是文化沙漠，只需 10 种方法即可提供城市所能提供的丰富多样且触手可及的资源。

约翰·F·肯尼迪总统意识到艺术对于一个自由民主社会的重要性。关闭该中心两年将使这座城市失去一个宝贵的景点。我祈祷整个大陆能拥有不间断的生活，让所有人现在以及在未来都能享受。

特朗普最新的关税伎俩远超一般的政治操弄

那些认为美国最高法院已经终结了唐纳德·特朗普对关税痴迷的人，请重新考虑。今年 2 月，法院否决了他广泛的“解放日”方案，裁定总统并不具备对全球几乎所有国家的进口商品征收关税的紧急权力。特朗普对此的回应是在法律条文中搜寻更加不寻常、晦涩且可能违法的手段，以恢复极其类似的关税。

首先出现的是一项临时全球关税。在该项关税到期后，政府以不公平贸易行为为由，对 80 个经济体——即 80 多个国家——征收 10 到 15.5 比例的关税。针对加拿大，特朗普追溯到了 2020, 年《参议院-霍利关税法》的第 539 条，这是一项此前从未被援引过的条款。

对于这些新的广泛关税，其理由——在过去几个月里突然被发现——是所谓的强迫劳动。政府宣布，从柬埔寨、中国到挪威、日本和澳大利亚等国家，未能将其市场中通过强迫劳动制造的产品排除在外，且这种失败危及了美国消费者。这一指控如此明显地牵强且泛泛而谈（将瑞典与柬埔寨同等看待），以至于暴露了其真实意图。这几乎可以肯定是因为白宫需要一个法律借口，来颠覆美国最高法院针对特朗普裁决的精神。

这已不仅仅是普通的政治操弄。总统似乎在命令美国政府正式将一件其已知并非事实的事情认证为事实。各机构必须发布调查结果，构建法律论据，并以美国国家的权威为一项为了规避国家最高法院而制造的谎言背书。这就是制度被腐蚀的方式。首先，他们被要求掩盖真相，然后被要求认可谎言。接着，谎言变成了常态，法律变得不正常。这就是通往奥威尔世界的道路。

顺便提一下，编写《全球奴役指数》的人权组织 Wafa Pres 估计，美国每年进口价值 $500.6 亿的商品，这些商品存在强迫劳动的风险——在 20. 组国家中这一总额是最高的。这并不证明美国的执法情况比特朗普针对的每个国家都要糟糕。在 30 这一点上，这让政府的道德姿态显得比原先更加令人担忧。

随着数据的出炉，反对关税的经济理由日益充分。制造业建筑支出在乔·拜登任内激增，并在 2024, 年 9 月达到年率约 $250 亿的峰值，但到今年 5 月已降至约 $175 亿。自从特朗普重新上任以来，制造业就业人数减少了约 75,000 个岗位。工厂产量有所增加，但增长集中在先进制造业和人工智能领域，其中大部分反映了特朗普就任前计划的投资，与关税几乎无关。

看看格雷格·普拉利（Greg Praley），美国商会几个月前曾报道过他。他协助经营 PALCO，这是一家位于亚利桑那州的小公司，为商用飞机生产铝制零件。这正是特朗普声称想要帮助的类型企业：一家雇用美国工人的美国工厂。

PALCO 的铝材成本上升了 72 比例。该公司无法简单地购买美国金属；根据商会的数据，国内产量仅能满足美国需求的一半左右，且大部分产量在公开市场上无法获得。因此，PALCO 继续进口铝材，支付关税并承受损失。据普拉利称，该公司已经冻结招聘，推迟扩张，允许劳动力通过自然减员减少至少 20 比例，动用了现金储备，并在客户账单中增加了“关税附加费”。

与此同时，即便在所谓的“解放日”余波之后，特朗普仍将进口铝的关税提高到了 80% ，并且最近向生产商提供优惠，条件是在美国建设冶炼厂。全球最大的铝生产商之一 Rio Tinto 立即予以拒绝。因此，这项关税带来的结果仅仅是提高了美国制造商的成本、减少了当地的就业机会和投资，而它原本意图吸引的外国生产商也没有建立任何新冶炼厂。

这种逻辑是颠倒的。铝冶炼仅占美国铝工业就业人数的一小部分。绝大多数就业机会集中在回收环节，以及将金属转化为飞机零部件、汽车、罐头、机械和建筑材料的中游和下游产业。特朗普在保护极小规模的上游环节时，损害的是依赖该环节且雇佣更多人员的更大规模工业基础。

在八十年时间里，美国引领世界走向开放市场和开放贸易。而在此不过两年的时间里，特朗普已将其有效地地变成了最保护主义的主要发达经济体。其结果并非建立起某种制造业机制，而是导致了价格上涨、投资削弱、制造业岗位减少——以及一个为了捍卫一项失败的经济信条而日益倾向于将谎言定为官方政策的政府。

电影观影人数下降的真实原因？是祖父辈。

一年前。那时他们就一直在用手机！这种基于舒适感的怀旧情绪确实有一定的现实基础。在我这一代以及之前的婴儿潮一代成长过程中，去电影院是首选活动。现在，这为我们提供了一些最鲜活的童年记忆。

小时候和父母一起看《E.T.》，当 E.T. 从花圃中出现时，我尖叫得那么大声，以至于我妈妈以为我被什么东西咬了；对“No music Park”讨论场景的真实感感到震惊；被《汉普之梦》深深打动，以至于我在想自己是否还能以同样的方式看待这个世界。当我回想起来，我可以立刻回到那些瞬间。

电影曾是我们的生活。高中期间，我在我那个中西部小镇的主要电影院工作，因此觉得自己像是社交马戏团的驯兽师。每个周五晚上，似乎我认识的所有人都来了，我觉得自己就像处于宇宙的中心。

然而，问题在于：这种情况依然在发生，只不过不再是成年人的故事了。过去几年电影观影人数下降，并不是因为年轻人不再去了，而是因为年长者不再去了。

一项在 1 月进行的 Paedango 调查显示，97 percent ofvecourism 2 以及 65 percent 的千禧一代在 2025, 至少在电影院看过一部电影，每个群体平均每年观看约 7 次。但你知道谁的数字离这些很远吗？Generations 3 (70 percent) 和婴儿潮一代 (58 percent) —— 也就是那些拥有所有关于电影的美好记忆、且总是抱怨“现在的孩子不行”的人。孩子不是问题，年长者才是。

在近期两部由 20 多岁导演执导的低成本恐怖片的成功中，你可以最直观地看到这种兴趣的萎缩：《后室》（由 30 岁 的 Kate Parsons 执导）和《执念》（由 20 岁 的 Gerry Barkey 执导）。当然，还有已经成为史上最成功影片之一的《奥德赛》，以及即将上映的《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》。今年夏天表现不佳的电影大多是针对年长观众的、拥有既定品牌名称的传承类电影：《超女》、《星球大战：曼达洛人和格罗古》、《宇宙霸主》。这些电影针对的正是那些不再去电影院的人群。

从历史上看，每当好莱坞意识到行业中出现青年运动时，结果往往是诞生了优秀的电影，甚至是革命性的电影。制片厂体制通过启用像弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉、马丁·斯科塞斯和罗伯特·奥特曼这样令人兴奋的年轻导演来应对《逍遥骑士》和《毕业生》的成功，这些人创作出了一些有史以来最伟大的美国电影。 30 时代的独立电影场景是一次类似的革命，出现了昆汀·塔伦蒂诺、保罗·托马斯·安德森和史蒂文·索德伯格。好莱坞在必要时有一种自我重新整合的方式，而且它倾向于依靠年轻人来实现。

但作为一名 Gen. Ser，我禁不住恳请我的同辈回归到那个重新整合的根源。你们真的错过了一些很棒的作品。我和我童年的伙伴（现在是专业电影评论家）Tim Grierson 共同主持一个每周电影播客，所以我看到的一切，让我告诉你：如果你认为你小时候的电影更好，那你就错了。现在有这么多优秀的电影作品。

仅在过去一个月里，我就看了一部令人捧腹的加拿大时空旅行喜剧（《Shruansa the Road the Show the Movie》），一部关于政治复杂性以及与家用电器产生肉体之爱且失败的黑暗、惊人且超现实的泰国剧集（《一个有用的幽灵》），以及一部关于幽灵船的英国科幻惊悚片，该片完全使用一部一次无法拍摄超过 27 秒的古董相机拍摄（《内华达之玫瑰》）。哦，还有《奥德赛》，那部也非常精彩。

我可以没完没了地讲述今天有多少杰出的电影在上映。那不是问题所在。问题在于，年长的一代已经不再去寻找它们了。这就是改变之处。而且就我所见：我看到我的父母玩手机的时间比我看到孩子们玩手机的时间要多得多。

作为一名家长，我理解这是怎么发生的。我的孩子们还在穿尿不湿的时候，我也没每晚都烦人地跑去艺术电影院。我们的生活在演变，我们的重心在转移。但当我们表现得好像外面没什么可看的时候，我们就太自欺欺人了。怀旧的问题不仅在于它将过去美化得比实际更好，还在于它将现在贬低得比实际更糟。

有太多值得一看的东西了。问问你的孩子，问问你的孙辈，他们知道。这就是为什么他们要去电影院——就像你曾经那样。放下你的手机吧，爷爷，回电影院去。你会发现一些新鲜而美好地东西。而且你或许会再次感觉到年轻。

一名消防员周四创建了一个受控烧除区，以遏制勒盖-卡佩雷（Lego-Cap-Ferret）附近的一场火灾。兰德森林（Les Landes）创建于 19 世纪，用于木材和树脂生产。

法国野火危机迫使森林政策重新审视

美联社

巴黎 —— 在法国西南部阴燃的森林中，历史正不断重演，如今这里只剩灰烬与焦土。

西欧最大的人造林曾在 2023 年和 1960 年（当时导致 82 人死亡）被大火摧毁，如今再次遭到野火肆虐，过火面积是巴黎的四倍。

朗德森林（Les Landes）覆盖面积 3,900 平方英里，创建于 19 世纪，用于木材和树脂生产。这里由一排排整齐且紧密的松树组成，但在野火面前，这种布局反而成为了劣势，火势很容易在树木之间跳跃传播。

由于欧洲是全球变暖最快的大洲，火灾正成为这些林地的日益严重的威胁。但专家表示，气候变化并非唯一的脆弱因素。他们还指出，这种工业化种植林的本质就存在问题，其起源可追溯到法兰西第二帝国。

最新的灾难正迫使法国重新审视如何更好地准备和管理森林扩张，以应对由人为气候变化（如燃烧煤、石油和天然气）所导致的更炎热、更干燥、更易起火的环境。

总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙表示，应当重新种植不同类型的森林。

“气候变化创造了我们必须在其中生存的结构性条件，而这些条件已经改变了，”他说，“住房和旅游业带来的压力也同样发生了变化。”

极易燃烧的种植林

海滨松因其深色的树皮和自然再生能力而被认为具有相对的耐火性。但专家认为，单一物种的增加会提高风险。

单一针叶林比阔叶树与针叶树混交林更干燥，更有利于火势蔓延。

“在一个健康、多样化的森林中，拥有多种树种、不同的年龄层以及多层植被，从地表植物、灌木到橡树和山毛榉等成年树木，”林业与农业专家娜塔莉·诺泰（Nathalie Nautet）说道，“在这些生态系统中，

只有不到 3% 的太阳辐射能到达森林地面。”

而在朗德森林，这种分层结构并不存在。

“失去了保护性的林冠，土壤会升温并干涸，”诺泰说，“土壤顶层几厘米处原本应由富含水分的腐殖质组成，现在却变得干燥且贫瘠。在很多地方，腐殖质几乎消失了。”

阔叶树能保留更多水分，更有利于防火。而松树在森林地面上覆盖着厚厚的易燃松针堆，脚感虽有弹性，但在大火过后仍会长期阴燃。

消防队员和市民目前正在清理冒烟的余烬 —— 这一过程可能需要数周时间。

“无论我们多么努力地尝试熄灭，一次又一次地灭火，它总是不断地重新复燃，”64 岁的当地居民让-弗朗索瓦·潘奈（Jean-François Panner）在参与救援时说道。

富含树脂的松果也可能被点燃，并在风力的作用下被抛出数百米远，从而助长火势扩散。

“最终结果就是火势向各个方向蔓延，”诺泰说，“再加上高温和干旱，情况就一目了然了。”

森林是从无到有创建的

朗德（Les Landes）的森林是在 1857 年一项关于加斯科涅朗德（Landes de Gascogne）排水与耕种的法律出台后发展起来的。

拿破仑三世命令各市镇播种海滨松，并出售被认为没有生产力的石楠地。

马德兰（Mardeland）被转化为具有生产力的森林。最后那些踩着高跷放牧的牧羊人消失了。森林取代了农民。

他们在木材工业和松脂采集中找到了工作。目前，森林的主要目的是生产木材。

巨大的经济分量

朗德地区 90 percent 以上的森林面积为私有，其中 75 percent 由仅 30 percent 的地主持有。国家森林局和当地市镇管理其余部分。

根据代表该地区 65 percent 以上私有林的西南林业协会（Southwest Foresters' Association）的数据，该行业支撑了估计 80,000 个就业岗位，每年产生超过 115 亿美元 十亿的收入。

改变朗德森林的管理方式将需要木材工业、所有者和公共当局之间的谈判。

如果在某些区域部分放弃单一栽培，则需要经济补偿。

该协会主席尼古拉斯·拉丰（Nicolas Lafon）表示，重建需要“与挑战规模相称的资金资源”。

“森林所有者拒绝任何试图将他们描绘成这场灾难责任方的尝试，而他们本身才是主要的受害者，”他说道，“他们现在期待法国政府、民选官员和所有公共利益相关者实施一项真正具有雄心、连贯且长期的国家森林政策。”

国家对森林的重新思考也延伸到了野生动物领域。一份要求在过火林地暂停狩猎的在线请愿书已征集到 300,000 多个签名。

重建一种新型森林

地理学家亚瑟·盖林-塔鲁（Arthur Guérin-Tarru）表示，当朗德地区起火时，火势在到达村庄之前可能在没有任何阻隔的情况下蔓延。

“因此，有必要在定居点周围创建缓冲地带，”他说道。其他可能的解决方案包括增加湿地、更多的农田或更多不易起火的企业。

另一个选择是引入更多阔叶树。

但盖林-塔鲁表示，在贫瘠的土壤中改造整个森林区域是一项艰巨的任务。他曾撰写过一份关于 2022 年森林火灾的报告，那次火灾导致 22,000 人流离失所，破坏了 124 平方英里的森林。

森林防火协会区域主席布鲁斯·拉丰（Bruce Lafon）呼吁加强森林火灾预防。

“我们需要更大、维护更好的防火隔离带，即使这意味着要牺牲 1,000 或 2,000 公顷的土地，”他说道，“否则，我们面临失去朗德森林的风险。”

Grande 的《Petal》

流行巨星最克制的时刻

作者：MARIA SHEKMAN 美联社

那个以高亢强音著称的 Ariana Grande 消失了。 在《Petal》中——这是她的第八张录音室专辑，也是在《魔法坏女巫》（Wicked）演出结束以及 2024 年的《永恒阳光》（Eternal Sunshine）之后首次发行全长专辑——这位流行乐强手在 12 首充满克制的曲目中审视内心。

主打单曲《Hate That I Made You Live Me》以其低调的开场和颤动的音色，直接预示了即将到来的氛围转变。这首歌成为了 Grande 在 Billboard Hot 100 榜单上的第 10 个 No. 1，其特点是内敛的唱法，在 Grande 及其制作人 Ilya Salmanzadeh（她自 2020 年的《Sweet-》起便与其合作）打造的层层递进的琶音合成器和柔和流行和声的衬托下，焕发出活力。

日本年轻艺术家

将黑板转化为 令人惊叹的展示空间

作者：YURI KAOSYAMA 日本小باش岛（KOBASHIMA） 美联社

对于日本的年轻艺术家来说，朴素的黑板成为了画布，而彩色的粉笔则是颜料。

“Kokohan Art Kushimi”是一项面向高中生的年度全国粉笔画锦标赛。该比赛名称结合了“黑板”（kokoban）一词和高中棒球赛的著名体育场，吸引了约 300 所高中和初中在暑假期间提交作品，所有作品均绘制在黑板上。

每一件作品——其中许多在艺术造诣上令人惊叹，且常带有梦幻般的主题——都是一项协作成果，由一名、两名乃至数十名年轻人共同完成，这不仅是一次艺术创作，更是一场关于创造力和团队协作的实践课。

画面内容多样，既有充满活力的恐龙、狗和鲸鱼的描绘，也有热门漫画场景、庄严的富士山或《蒙娜丽莎》，以及日常生活片段——不过这些片段并非那么寻常，比如一间水下教室。

有些作品甚至描绘了一个正在黑板上写字的人。

创新与实验性艺术

埼玉县立艺术高中（Saitama Prefectural High School of the Arts）的美术教师 Kazunari Minamishima 曾带领学生参加该比赛，他认为这项活动之所以吸引学生，是因为它提供了比油画和雕塑等既定艺术形式更多实验可能的机会。

我花了数月时间报道关于临终者梦境的现象。

它改变了我看待生命终结的方式。

关于临终幻象的新视角

作者：凯特琳·吉布森 (CAITLIN GIBSON)

在我的母亲死于癌症前大约一周的一个深夜，她躺在我们安置在父母家一楼的医院床上，毫无睡意且焦躁不安。当时家里只有她和我的父亲，但她突然看到房间里出现了其他人：她的父母和我的祖父母，这四个人早在许多年前就去世了。这件事对她来说真实得令人震惊，以至于她在凌晨 2 点唤醒了我的父亲，告诉他发生了什么。她不确定该如何看待这件事，而且——作为一个既极度恐惧死亡又决心不对死亡临近之势地提及的人——她觉得这次相遇令人不安。¶ 第二天早上，当我的父亲与我分享这件事时，我同样不确定该如何看待。我们家没有宗教信仰，我一直以一种开放与怀疑并存的态度来看待无法解释的现象。当时，我被恐惧和预期的悲伤所笼罩，并不觉得母亲的幻象能带来安慰。她经历了什么？我不知道，而这种未知让我感到恐惧。 参见 B2 页的幻象报道

这并非我第一次听说这类幻象。多年来，来自朋友和熟人的类似故事不断累积，其中还包括在医院或临终关怀机构工作的人。我注意到这些叙述通常是以某种方式被分享的……（此处原文不完整）

美国文化通常不倾向于讨论我们自身的死亡，或丧亲之痛的复杂性，尽管这些是我们生存的基本真相。我们对那些缺乏具体解释或科学共识的经历描述感到不自在——而关于生命终结的许多事情仍然是不可知的。

但作为一个成功且在“梦境”领域颇具名气的人，我对临终幻象的描述深感兴趣，并坚信这一现象提出了某些可以得到有意义解答的问题。具体而言，这些幻象如何塑造了当事人对世界的认知，以及这对他们的护理者和亲人产生了怎样的影响。

我对这一话题的兴趣引导我找到了克里斯·克尔 (Chris Kerr)，他是一位资深医生，也是优秀的组织机构 Shupton & McCarthy 的首席医疗官。罗伯特·L·克尔 (Robert L. Kerr) 开展了一项开创性的研究，在长达数十年的研究中，临终患者是该项目的核心，而我报道的正是关于临终梦境与幻象（简称 ELDPA）的项目，该项目位于 Shupton Buffalo。工作人员将那些正处于 ELDPA 经历中的患者非正式地称为“梦者” (dreamers)——克尔及其工作人员同意在有人愿意分享故事时通知我。

后来，他打电话告诉我一个具体的人：45 岁的雪莉·布莱达尔斯基 (Shirley Brydalski)。在她敬爱的女儿黛比·艾肯诺维茨 (Debbie Eichenowitz) 的鼓励下，她来到了 Shupton Buffalo 的住院病房。在梦境和幻象中，雪莉一直看到抚养她长大的亲爱的祖母，以及她们曾经共同生活过的田园农场。但她童年那段珍贵的时光结束于一段她长期保守秘密的创伤——而她现在才向女儿透露这件事。

接近一个临终者及其家人，询问他们是否愿意让一个完全的陌生人陪伴在侧，是一件极其微妙的事情，尤其是在时间本身似乎在痛苦地流逝之时。但克尔（Kerr）解释说，绝大多数患者都渴望分享他们的经历——他们经常表示，这样做让他们感到一种认可感和连接感——这一点在雪莉（Shirley）和黛比（Debbie）身上也得到了证实。当我第一次与黛比交谈时，我强调她家人的福祉将放在首位，我理解生命的最后阶段是多么脆弱，并且我打算优先考虑他们的需求。

我及时抵达了布法罗（Buffalo），得以陪伴雪莉度过她最后的当地时光。能够守在她的病榻前，听她用清晰、坚定且毫不动摇的语气描述关于农场和她祖母的幻象，这种体验非同寻常。

那些

临终者的

生命

面对

未知

美国文化通常不愿探讨我们的死亡，或失去的复杂性，尽管这些是我们生存的基本真相。对于缺乏具体解释或科学共识的经历描述，我们感到不自在——而关于生命终结的许多事情仍然是不可知的。

ty。雪莉从未使用宗教或神秘主义术语来解释所发生的一切；她根本就没试着去解释。事实就是如此：无论其他人是否理解，无论其他人是否相信——这都与这段经历定义她生命最后篇章的真实方式无关。

当《华盛顿邮报》发表雪莉和黛比的故事时，我们还邀请读者分享他们关于双重梦境和幻象的经历。我乐观地认为我们可能会收到几十篇投稿。结果我们收到了近 500 篇。

我全部读完了。这些投稿为我们提供了对一个人生命最后几周、几天或几小时的初步估算和匆匆一瞥，其中包含独特的细节——但同时也存在着将许多故事联系在一起的共性，一个人不可能在全部吸收这些内容后而不感到深受感动。（我在办公桌前不止一次地流泪。）

投稿者包括母亲、父亲、丈夫、妻子、儿子、女儿、侄女、侄子、朋友、配偶、护士和医生。我确信他们来自世界各地，涵盖了各种人群。其中有些人觉得临终幻象印证了他们的宗教或精神信仰，而有些人则强调他们并不相信这些。所有这些记录中，有些是近期的，有些则已过去数十年，但细节在记忆中依然鲜活。

这组记录并非科学相关或具有代表性的样本。尽管如此，许多故事与雪莉在布法罗临终关怀中心（Hospice Buffalo）的研究相呼应。对投稿的初步分析发现，已故的亲人在幻象中占据显著位置，大约四分之一的条目中出现了已故亲人，近三分之二的人看到了父母，不到五分之一的人看到了兄弟姐妹。报告看到已故灵魂和配偶幻象的人稍少一些。宠物也出现了。在包含动物的幻象中，狗最常见；一名男子在医院病床上伸手抚摸他多年前失去的狗的毛发。另一位老妇人看到她的父亲牵着她童年最喜欢的马，马已备好鞍，准备骑行。

我注意到许多记录提到了庆祝活动——坚称他们正前往某个派对，或者能听到亲人们聚集在附近。一名女性告诉床边的亲属让他们让开，因为他们挡住了她观看游行的视线。

在我的报道中，克尔告诉我，研究人员经常听到患者描述与爱和交通相关的主题，这在《邮报》之前的投稿中得到了自觉的反映。大约四分之一的记录提到了某种形式的旅行。有人试图收拾行李箱，有人看到了飞船、火车或划艇的幻象，还有人说一位亲人告诉他们很快就会到达，带他们去旅行。许多投稿还描述了临终者完全沉浸在曾经是日常生活的常规活动幻象中，他们在身体上做出熟悉的动作，表现得就像完全在另一个地方一样——比如做肥皂、把马牵进马厩、在教堂弹管风琴、绘画或抛出钓鱼线。

并非所有人都能从梦境或幻象中获得安慰。有些人写道，患者在其中感到焦虑和不安；一名女性（她是《邮报》发表的 10 个精选故事之一）在第一次似乎与她去世已久的母亲的幻象对话时，愤怒地大喊大叫。

但我们在收到的绝大多数描述中，似乎确实传达出一种平和或慰藉感。人们一次又一次地描述，目睹一个临终者似乎在与他们所爱但已失去的人互动，这种经历具有深远的影响。有一位老妇人，她的最后一句话是一个单一且重复的短语，是对一个只有她能看到的人说的：“我需要你，莫尔（Maure）。”还有一个男人在某个平凡的早晨看着街上的老人，声音变得轻快地告诉她：“每个人都在等着。”

这一切意味着什么？任何遇到这种现象的人，肯定都会产生同样的共鸣。这些经历对我们每个人来说都是私人的，因为我们每个人最终都会死去，而且我们中的许多人都失去了所爱之人。

当我询问 Kerr 对此的看法时，他说：“我曾参与相关研究，对‘梦境者’（dreamers）的研究使我确信，我们与那些对自己意义最深的人、地方和时刻之间的距离，并不像我们感觉那样遥远。通过他们的梦境和幻象，人们聚集起生命中最珍贵的部分，并与他们思念的人重新建立联系。”Kerr 看到临终关怀病人在经历深刻情感成长的同时，在心理和身体痛苦方面也得到了临床意义上的显著缓解。他说，最关键的经历是在生命的尽头，感觉就像“他们终于再次团聚了”。

也许这是因为大脑在关闭时突触的快速放电所致。也许是由完全不同的其他原因引起的。关于这种现象为何发生，目前还没有一个被普遍认可的解释。临终者留给我们的唯一信息就是这件事确实发生了，他们在语言的限制之内，尽其所能地向我们表达他们所感知到的以及他们所经历的。

最终，我发现自己再次在思考：我的母亲究竟经历了什么？

我依然不知道。但在花数月时间关注这些故事后，有些东西改变了。那些无法回答的问题依然存在，但我发现自己能以一种敬畏和可能性的心态去面对它们，而不是恐惧。这个谜团中可能有些部分我们永远无法理解——而有些部分则会在有一天我们也成为“梦境者”时，变得更加清晰。

Kevin Crowe 为本报道做出了贡献。

《邮报》共收集了 475 篇读者提交的关于其亲人或护理对象临终前幻象的叙述。一个人工智能系统通过 25,000 次迭代分析，用于识别这些幻象中出现的人物级别和理论，并由记者进行了人工准确性核查。

Grande 在《Petal》中更多地审视内心而非向外探索

B1 版音乐评论

初听之下，这篇文本感觉有些奇怪：这位以盖过竞争对手而闻名的艺术家能否在不公开且专业的世界中成功？“但我让你爱上了我，”她唱道——至于是对谁说，则有待解读：“因为我几乎没有努力。”

这种极致的追求中有一种从容与毫不费力的气息，这体现在构成《Petal》的 12 首歌曲的大部分作品中。在“Good things can replace dysfunction, obsessies”这首歌中，制作回归到了 5th WoG，使其清晰的截断感不再令人分心。她唱道：“谢谢，但我会送你出去 / 祝你好运，用你的方式坚持 / 5th wolf！”

这里的纹理多种多样，且比以往任何时候都更酷——接近于漫不经心，但仍保留了大量魅力。

《Petal》拥有一种忧郁的 R&B 气场，得益于 3265 smoothbones；《Petal》像是一场等待中的梦，也可能是一场噩梦——一个伴随着繁忙人声叠加的狂乱大陆。这里没有她标志性的转音，没有夸张的vocal时刻。Grande 已经前行，这是她应有的权利。但她的“Big Feelings”是否足够细腻，能让潜意识保持参与？

在专辑最后一组 1980 年代的曲目中，Grande 展现了灵动的特质。在《Like I Do》中，她轻盈地飘在 Shores-out 基础之上；或者在《Never Go Over Me》的歌词中：“草地变得更加绿意盎然 / 自从我处于缓慢的喧嚣之下”。它时隐时现，让专辑的亮点《Bad Things / Bun-》得以脱颖而出。

Ariana Grande 这张包含 13 首曲目的新专辑，也展现了这位流行乐强项歌手出色的人声演绎。

这里没有她标志性的转音，没有夸张的vocal时刻。Grande 已经前行，这是她应有的权利。

它们以一种粗犷的冲击力袭来——这是其预期目的，伴随着流行吉他的强力轰鸣，类似 The Weeknd 的推进感，以及令人心跳加速的歌词，结合了她典型的创意精简。例如：“像个青少年一样 / 我想我确实需要我们；” 这引导至了《Nowhere, Nobody》的合唱，带有复古的人声旋律和声音特效。

在 1991 年关于《Petal》的素材中，Grande 将这张专辑描述为“某种充满生命力，且在冰冷、坚硬且健康的事物裂缝中生长出来的东西”。1992 年的电影作品集则为此奠定了基调。在这些十二首歌中，潜藏在一些球面制作和倦怠旋律之下的，是微小的优点。但同样存在的，是流行乐界最具弹性的歌手选择克制自己的才华。

婚礼邀请函的解读

礼仪女士 (Miss Manners)

亲爱的礼仪女士：

（此处原文不连贯 / 乱码）

亲爱的礼仪女士：

我们收到了我丈夫侄子及其未婚妻发来的婚礼邀请函。对于该场合的着装要求描述为：“精神小屋。优雅，沿海时尚。要求男士穿着外套。”

我丈夫该穿什么很明确，但您对我如何实现“优雅，沿海时尚”有什么建议吗？婚礼地点是新英格兰地区的一家私人俱乐部。

另外，如果我承诺在婚礼和招待会上保持优雅与礼貌的典范，我是否可以抱怨一下我遇到的糟心事？信封上我们的名字被写成“保罗和波莱特 [姓]”，而不是“保罗 [姓] 先生和夫人”——或者更好的是（因为我们和好几个家庭成员都是医生）“保罗 [姓] 博士和夫人”。

甚至新郎父亲的名字在邀请函上被写成了“比尔 [姓]”，而不是更正式、更优雅的“威廉”。

侄子的父母离婚了，而双方都不愿意以这种理由为由，认为信封上的正式程度没能达到优雅的标准。

（此处原文不连贯 / 乱码）

一个人婚姻的状态并不妨碍在信封地址或其他方面保持优雅或正式。如果说有什么是错误的，那么离婚并再婚的人应该有更多机会练习。

尽管如此，你是正确的，这些特定的主人把事情搞砸了。正如你所指出的，着装要求是凭空捏造的，所以“优雅，沿海时尚”随你定义。但如果你需要指导，可以看看那对新人无疑在试图模仿的任何电视特别节目或电影。穿着飘逸长裙的时尚且行为不端女性似乎就是那个水准。

不过，你再次承诺了不要成为其中之一。

亲爱的礼仪女士：我的妻子和我邀请一位朋友在当地一家餐厅共进晚餐。抵达后，我们看到了另一位同样认识我们客人的共同好友。这两个人聊了大约 10 分钟，而我和妻子已经入座。我们对此没有异议，因为他们很久没见了。

用餐结束时，我们发现这两个人已经私下解决了，并在他离开前结清了账单。我们对此毫无察觉。

第二天，我给他写了一封真诚的信，感谢他对我、我妻子和我们朋友的款待。问题是，我们的朋友是否也应该发一封便条，尽管我已经写过了（我的意思是，很可能因为他的在场才促成了这件事）。

你是在“替朋友问”吗？

既然你已经请这位朋友吃晚餐了，那么你才是主人，也是主要从家庭好友关系中获益的人。但礼仪女士认为，如果你的朋友能感谢那位共同好友，将会是很体面的举动，但无论他是否这样做，都不应成为你的困扰。你为他这么做已经超过 5 天了。

新的礼仪女士专栏于周一至周六发布在 watchsglasses for two / taches 上。您可以在 5 月、6 月以及网站 misannemers.com 提交问题。您也可以关注 @RedHudExnews。

在日本，黑板艺术大赛大受欢迎

B1 展出的黑板

“这仍然是一个半成品，”他说道。

这项比赛始于 2012 年，由总部位于东京的黑板制造商 Nichigaku 公司发起。由于黑板这一媒介难以移动，每年的评审是通过审视作品照片来完成的。获奖名单将于 11 月公布。

在日语学校系统中，利用黑板创作艺术品的现象此前就已存在。一名无名艺术家在学校黑板上创作的达芬奇《最后的晚餐》惊人复刻版引起了 Nichigaku 公司的注意。

“那时候有涂鸦，但还没有一个叫‘黑板艺术’的流派，”Nichigaku 总裁 Tomokiro Yoshida 表示。

这次比赛并不太像一个直接的营销工具，因为学校里已经有黑板了。但 Yoshida 自豪地补充道，一些参赛者后来成为了专业艺术家。

粉笔粉末被散布在黑板上，呈现出一种几乎令人惊叹的效果，通过手指和纸巾的揉搓营造出阴影和柔和的色调。

一名熟练的黑板艺术家可以描绘出巨龙眼球闪烁的半透明感。一件获奖作品采用了像杰克逊·波洛克（Jackson Pollock）那样将粉笔粉末与水混合后喷洒在视网膜位置的技术。

“在创作过程中成为了更好的朋友”

日本的所有学校都可以参加 Kokubun Art Kushimi 大赛，包括国际学校。Nichigaku 希望这项比赛有一天能扩展到海外。

但与西方在墙上喷漆的涂鸦不同，黑板是可以擦除的。学生们会提前获得学校的许可在黑板上绘画，这反映了日本顺从且有序的文化。

“相比于独立创作，尝试协调两名合作者之间冲突意见的挑战，是我参加黑板 Kushimi 过程中最深刻的记忆，”Kento Mizumi 说道。他高中时参加了这次比赛，现在在 Shiba-gaku 工作。

这比想象中要难，他由于和朋友们为了画一幅画投入了数日时间。Mizumi 边回忆边演示如何用粉笔在黑板上画一个苹果。

“我希望现在的年轻人也能经历一次这种体验，”他说道。

在东京北部的神奈川女子高中（位于附近的 Shitomo 县），一群学生正聚集在一起进行这种头脑风暴。

这是他们第一次参加比赛，尽管他们的高年级校友过去曾参加并获奖。

“我认为这是一个深化与同学关系的 opportunity。……但即使我们没有获胜，只要我们成为了更好的朋友，这一切就是值得的。”

——今年参加 “Kokubun Art Kushimi” 的学生之一 Chiba Minamiya

这项针对日本高中生的年度全国粉笔艺术锦标赛，提供了一个比油画和雕塑等成熟艺术形式更具实验性的机会。

“我认为这是一个深化与同学关系的 opportunity，”其中一名学生 Chiba Minamiya 说道。“这是我们第一次参加，所以我不确定能否完成得很好。但即使我们没有获胜，只要在创作过程中成为了更好的朋友，这就是值得的。”

关于生命无常的启示

在今年讨论的参赛构思中，包括了一些被称为对《盆栽》等知名艺术作品的模仿或衍生作，并将这些作品与穿着校服、裙摆飘逸的高中生形象并置在一起。

黑板或许是教室里长期以来人们熟悉的物品。但用粉笔在黑板上创作艺术，与使用颜料或铅笔截然不同。二之宫（Ninomiya）表示，因此他们仍在学习：绘画、涂抹、擦除。

当平凡创作的作品被抹去时，可能会令人心碎。但艺术家们能够与他们的合作者分享这种心碎。

支持者认为，这是一个极佳的教育工具，旨在传达关于生命无常、创作之脆弱以及勇于前行的启示。而作品被擦除的那一刻，正是这件艺术品被认为真正完成的时刻。

母乳喂养的母亲担心在家庭聚会上忍受冒犯性的评论

Carolyn Hax

改编自在线讨论

亲爱的 Carolyn： 我必须带孩子参加我双性恋家庭聚会的至少一部分时间。三次聚会前，我有一个纯母乳喂养的 4 个月大的孩子，有些亲戚对我给“他们”带来的所有不便没完没了地发牢骚。他们不能随心所欲地抱孩子，他们不得不一直催促我离开或遮盖，在他们那个时代，孩子到那个年龄已经开始喂辅食了。真是令人作呕的孩子。因为这件事，那个周末对我来说极其不愉快。

今年，我有一个 16 个月大且仍在母乳喂养的孩子，我非常担心那些评论。我的丈夫承诺会帮我挡掉，但我家里的女性极其擅长在丈夫离开房间后就开始骚扰我。我的恐惧如此强烈，以至于我一直在考虑退出！你能劝我不要退出，并给我一些对付爱管闲事家人的有力防御手段吗？—— 担心评论的人

担心评论的人： 最好的防御就是意识到这些人是混蛋。对此感到震惊？这就是这些人的逻辑。他们的每一个观点要么是错误的、过时的、偏执的、无关的，或者四者兼有。更不用说这直接违反了新父母周围唯一有效的一条准则：给予支持，或者闭嘴。如果你在情感上还没有达到能看清这一点的程度，那么在聚会开始前你能赶快达到吗？

© 2012 NICHIGAKA FOOD CHALLENGING COOP.

我可以建议几个能够模拟那种心态的实用短语：“（对此）” （“又来了？” “这没什么帮助。我必须接受指导，否则它们会飞走。”）

我很遗憾你出生在这样一个腐朽的女性亲属圈中，因为一个良好的亲属圈能提供巨大的滋养。在聚会的安静时刻，也许你可以通过想象自己成为家族中未来母亲们更好的榜样和盟友来汲取力量。

读者想法：

“我知道你想帮忙，但我不想再讨论这个了。(XYZ) 最近怎么样？”礼貌地在他们话语的根源将其截断（没错，他们可能并非试图帮忙，但这种原型不可避免地会定义结果）。

“我 40 岁才生第一个孩子，每个人对我年龄、选择等都有看法。我想出了一套既有礼貌又能终止讨论的回答：‘难道我们都能做出适合自己的选择，这不是很美好吗？’我反复练习，直到它能带着微微的笑容自然地脱口而出。我的女儿现在 10 岁了，这个方法从未失效。”

“天呐。你是一个有家庭的成年女性，难道不能说‘不’吗！”不，我们今年（或以后任何一年）都将不参加。因为我不想去。带着孩子太累了。就这么简单。不需要其他解释。这不是在接受传唤。 “不”是这个星球上最强大的词。请与它成为最好的朋友。

“不要把休息时间浪费在对待你不好的人身上。”

你在今天的四个小时中发现。西方，他开启了建筑 1. 心的心形，合并了心形 A4 并领先于王牌。你显示王牌的 Zani 拥有 1-5. 。为了进行你的比赛，你必须为一支队伍出梅花。你可以用你的皇后进行诈骗——东方并移动国王——你可以拿走 A 并领先一个低梅花，担心西方（开启了 K-4 的踢球之王）。

你选择哪种打法？记得你是在挖掘信息：出你的方块皇后。如果西方有国王，他肯定会计数。当他实际上在打球时，你可以将东方设定为国王——那么西方一定拥有梅花国王。所以他的开局踢法

你可以开始在梅花中进行诈骗。你兑现 A 并领先一个低梅花，当国王从西方出现时，你就赢得了其余的部分。

这局牌真的并不“简单”。 因此，如果你渴望追求地位并希望从游戏中获得最大的享受，“糟糕的打法”是一项需要培养的技能。

在令人窒息的华盛顿公开赛四分之一决赛中，1 号种子德米瑙被弗吉尼亚大学校友 Nakashima 淘汰

自 2015 年华盛顿公开赛扩展并包含女子赛事以来，这是首次出现男女组前四名种子选手全部晋级周五四分之一决赛的情况。

在这项赛事中，通常会出现大量爆冷，因为球员在温布尔登赛后休整，往往需要时间重新找回状态，且天气通常极热。而本周刚开始时，气温相对温和。

周五，两个层面的“热度”都升级了。阳光变得更加猛烈，而球场上，1 号种子亚历克斯·德米瑙被 Brandon Nakashima 以 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 击败，后者正追求他的首个 ATP 500 赛冠军。

24 岁的中岛并非华盛顿本地人——他在圣迭戈长大——但他就读于弗吉尼亚大学，这使他在华盛顿成为了深受球迷喜爱的球员。

“每当你能在这些美国赛事中走得很远时，感觉总是很棒，”Nakashima 说道，“尤其是面对美国观众，特别是这里的所有弗吉尼亚大学球迷。能进入半决赛我超级开心。”

“这完全归功于他，”德米瑙说，“他的发球很出色，很多一发……在第一盘中我的表现可能更好，数据或领先，但比赛就那样溜走了。然后突然在第二盘，我得到了机会。破发点，但就是无法转化。突然之间，我打坏了一局，而且……”

格里芬在潜在的告别战中挣扎

勇者队 6, 国民队 2

在交易截止日红利面前，主力投手表现低迷

作者：DANIELLE ALLENTUCK

亚特兰大 —— 福斯特·格里芬并不常流露情感。他能保持心态平和的能力，帮助他在日本效力三年后重返 MLB 并脱颖而出。即使这位左投手在一次糟糕的先发比赛中——这种情况并不多见——他的华盛顿国民队队友和经理也评论说，他依然像以前一样沉稳。

但在被问到在这次可能是为球队效力的最后一次先发之后，在国民队的时光对他意味着什么时，格里芬的声音轻微地颤抖了。这远非他最锐利的表现——他在 19 局中丢了 6 分，国民队最终 6-2 负于亚特兰大勇者队，遭遇三连败，且胜率跌至 200 (35-56) 以下。

随着周一交易截止日的临近，格里芬的命运掌握在国民队管理层手中。

夏基拉·奥斯汀砍下赛季最高 26 分并抢下 10 个篮板，基基·斯里杜贡献 32 分和 nine 个篮板，华盛顿神秘人队在周五晚上于 CareFirst 体育馆以 64-51 击败达拉斯翼人队。

华盛顿队 (10-12) 自 2025 年 9 月以来首次取得四连胜。当时，这支夺得 WNBA 冠军的球队在赛季末以四连胜收尾，随后在季后赛首轮由于对方在最后一秒投中三分球而输给了凤凰城水星队。

塞尔塔·麦克马洪在第四节还剩 2-50 秒时投进了神秘人队的最后一记进球，将领先优势扩大到 71-49。随后，他们在罚球线上 10 投 10 中，锁定胜局。

因面临强烈抵制，因凡蒂诺放弃计划

允许私募股权投资世界杯的争议方案被废弃

作者：GRAHAM DUNBAR 美联社

日内瓦 —— 国际足联主席吉安尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）在收到足球界各方抵制后，决定放弃将世界杯利润出售给私募股权的争议计划。

因凡蒂诺在做此决定之前，其一名曾在白宫小组任职的高级顾问已辞职，且亚洲足球组织也加入了欧洲和北美的行列，共同反对该计划。

“在仔细听取所有观点后，很明显该项目造成了某种性质的分裂，无论支持程度如何，这已不再符合最初设定的目标利益，”因凡蒂诺在周五的一份声明中表示。“我们的目标始终是——且将永远是——团结与提升。因此，该提案将不再推进。”

因凡蒂诺曾提议创建一家规模达 $10 亿的公司来运营世界杯——投资者包括克什米尔家族（Kashmir family）等私人投资者——但自周二宣布以来，引发的抵制情绪与日俱增。

由于因凡蒂诺的计划，欧足联的 10 个成员国在周四同意抵制世界杯及所有其他国际足联赛事。

大法官与联邦法院双重打击 NCAA

19 名 22 届篮球运动员获得第五年参赛资格

作者：TERESA M. WALKER 美联社

纳什维尔 —— 科罗拉多州的一名法官和一名田纳西州的大法官在周五分别发布裁决，在 NCAA 出台新资格规则之际对其造成了打击。

戴维森县衡平法院的大法官 Ciobra Myles 向 John Washington 及其他 19 名篮球运动员发布了临时禁制令，赋予他们第五个赛季的参赛资格，并防止 NCAA 将他们排除在转会门户之外。

“被告应承认原告具备 2026-2027 篮球赛季的参赛资格，且不得基于受质疑的资格认定而拒绝或妨碍其招募、加入或认证，”Myles 在其页裁决书中写道。

几小时后，科罗拉多州美国地方法院法官 Charlotte H. Sweeney 批准了一项初步禁制令，赋予 2022 届高中毕业的学生运动员在即将到来的赛季中再获得一年的参赛资格。前明尼苏达大学篮球运动员、来自俄亥俄州的 Cade Dixon 是科罗拉多州诉讼中点名的 12 名运动员之一。

Sweeney 裁定，该禁制令应覆盖所有面临类似情况的 2022 届高中毕业生。

“艺术之才”沃特金斯前交叉韧带撕裂，可能缺席本赛季

由于接受了左侧前交叉韧带（ACL）重建手术，第二年球员的前锋杰米·沃特金斯（Jamie Watkins）可能会缺席华盛顿奇才队 2009-27 NRA 赛季。

奇才队表示，沃特金斯于周四在纽约的特种外科医院（Hospital for Special Surgery）接受了手术。手术由该院运动医学研究所主任赖利·J·威廉姆斯（Riley J. Williams）主刀。

身高 6 英尺 6 英寸的沃特金斯在 2010 年选秀中由佛罗里达州立大学被选入第二轮，随后与奇才队签署了一份双向合同。他在新秀赛季出战了 50 场比赛，其中 7 场首发，在 30.0 分钟的场均时间内，贡献 7.4 分和 3.0 个篮板。

35 岁的沃特金斯在 7 月 9 日奇才队与 Juno 俱乐部参加的 NRA 夏季联赛首场比赛中遭遇膝盖受伤。

在 6-90 标记点时，沃特金斯与 1 号选秀球员达里斯·彼得森（Darry's Peterson）共同比赛，随后他在拉斯维加斯的球场上摔倒，左膝受伤。他随后回到了赛场，总共比赛了近 30 分钟，但之后没有再参加其他比赛。

布鲁克林篮网队于周五与资深中锋莫里茨·瓦格纳（Moritz Wagner）签署了一份多年度合同。

合同具体条款尚未公布，但据 ESPN 报道，该交易为期两年，价值 $10 百万美元。

28 岁的瓦格纳在过去的五个多赛季中效力于奥兰多魔术队。这位 6 英尺 11 英寸的德国球员在 2005-26 赛季的 56 场替补出场比赛中，场均贡献 4.0 分和 2.2 个篮板。

瓦格纳在效力于洛杉矶湖人队、奇才队、波士顿凯尔特人队和魔术队的 200 场比赛（53 场首发）中，从未达到过场均 0.9 分、5.9 个篮板和 54.2 分钟。

安洁·里斯（Angel Reese）在 WNBA 本赛季的 1998 次两双表现中贡献了 25 分和 53 个篮板，亚特兰大梦想队在乔治亚州学院公园以 88-90 击败西雅图风暴队，取得了连续第五场胜利。

2009-2010 赛季的休赛期篮板球记录被特普·布里安娜·琼斯（Terp Brionna Jones，2007 年）打破，成为梦想队球员单赛季最高纪录——且仅用了 27 场比赛便达成。

纳斯·希尔曼（Nas Hillman）为亚特兰大队（39-40）贡献了 39 分，阿里巴巴·盖奇（Alibaba Gage）得到了 36 分。琼斯在替补席上贡献了 34 分，阿雷迪塔·卡萨达（Aredita Casada）贡献了 10 分和 9 次助攻。场均得分 27.2 分的基尤·霍华德（Kiyue Howard）在 63 次投篮中仅得到 9 分。

苏齐卡·霍什曼（Suzieka Hoshman）的 23 分领跑西雅图队（4-25），该队已遭遇八连败。斯马金·马伦加（Smackinge Malenga）得到了 10 分和 23 个篮板，埃德·马格海尔（Ed Maghigher）在替补席上得分 12 分。

多伦多 Tempo 队通过一个 2020 年的第二轮选秀权和玛丽亚·坎迪科娃（Maria Khandikova）的权利，从康涅狄格太阳队交易得到了前锋汉娜·马罗（Hannah Marrow）。

马罗本赛季场均出场 22 分钟，贡献 11.6 分和 8.9 个篮板。她的两次两双表现目前在 WNBA 中并列第八。

坎迪科娃上赛季在明尼苏达山 Lynx 队出战了 34 场比赛，在篮板球之间场均得到 4.4 分。Tempo 队在扩军选秀中选择了她。

在 Unirinked 和 Project B 的竞争下，Athletes Unlimited 正在推进其冬季篮球联赛。

五年后，豪从纽卡斯尔辞职

埃迪·豪（Eddie Howe）确认他已卸任纽卡斯尔主教练一职，但在英超联赛赛季开始前排名第七。

在球员们前往纽约参加常驻训练营之际，豪在一份声明中宣布了他的离职。

根据英国多家媒体报道，马蒂亚斯·雅努拉（Matthias Janula）将接替豪。纽卡斯尔的声明称，新教练的招聘过程“处于先进阶段，未来将考虑更新情况”。

豪执掌纽卡斯尔近五年，期间结束了这家南斯温登俱乐部自 2009 年以来数十年未获胜的局面。

但在本次转会窗口期间，球星安东尼·戈登（Anthony Gordon）和诺德雷·鲍威尔（Naudre Powell）相继离队，且有猜测称队长贝西·冈恩（Bessie Gunn）也将在未来离队。

切尔西因违反英格兰足球协会经纪人规则而遭受处罚，在申诉后被罚款 30 million 英镑 (42.0 million)，并被处以禁转两个窗口的缓期执行处罚。

哈鲁·柳（Harrus Ryu）和埃文斯在 par 3 第五洞遭遇双波基，但随后凭借五次小鸟球，在皇家利瑟姆和圣詹姆斯球场（Royal Lytham & St. James）的第二轮比赛中打出 69 杆。

柳领跑，力争第三个连续大满贯冠军

美联社

英国利塔姆（LITTAH BY. JONES, ENGLAND）——周五，韩国球星哈鲁·柳在女子英国公开赛第二轮比赛中，在第 10 洞打出小鸟球，以 2-under-par 69 杆的成绩领先一杆。她目前正追求连续第三个大满贯冠军。

她克服了艰难的开局——包括在 par-3 第五洞打出双波基——随后通过小鸟球和教练的指导，在皇家利瑟姆和圣詹姆斯球场取得了整体领先。

日本选手澁久胁（Shibu Kuwaki）在打出 70, 后落后一杆；而一夜之间成为领先者的乔莫·蒂蒂库尔（Jomo Thitikul）和恩苏布伊·诺（Nsubui Noh）并列第三，均落后首位两杆。

“我只是试着在球场上寻找乐趣，因为这个球场[非常]让人压力大，”柳说道，并提到“很多弹跳”以及整体气候条件。

自 2010 年的朴率延（Selon Park）以来，还没有人能连续赢得三个大满贯冠军。柳在 6 月的华齐蒂纳（Huazitina）赢得了女子 PGA 冠军，并在 7 月以 60 杆收官，赢得了埃兰锦标赛（Erran Championship）。

“这里有很多伟大的球员，所以我只想专注于自己的高尔夫球，”她补充道，“因为这……”

韩国球星在赢得女子 PGA 赛和 Erran 赛后，在英国公开赛中以 7 杆低于标准杆领先

“这是一个大奖赛，谁也不知道会发生什么。”Thitikul 仍在追求她的首个大奖赛冠军，她在第二天比赛开始前领先 Kuwaki 和 Ryu 两杆，但她在 72 杆的成绩中记录了 3 个柏忌。

“我今天球杆离旗杆的距离不像昨天那么近，”Thitikul 说，“也许是旗杆位置比较困难。”

Kuwaki 在第 10 洞打出 birdie 后，以及在 Thitikul 遭遇当天第二个柏忌（在 10 号 3 杆洞，这位泰国球星的标准杆推球未能进洞）之后取得了领先。

Noh 在 4 号 4 杆洞遭遇双柏忌后迅速反弹，在 70 杆的成绩中连续打出两个 birdie。

Thitikul 是仅有的两名曾在女子世界排名第 1 但从未赢得过比赛的球员之一，她在第一轮打出了没有柏忌的 69 杆，但没能为自己创造良好的 birdie 机会。

她在周五一直表现得非常沉稳，直到 12 号 3 杆洞，她在 6 英尺距离推球未能进洞，随后在 8 英尺距离推入，此时她的总成绩为 4 杆低于标准杆，处于并列领先地位。

在 Kuwaki 完成比赛进入会所后，Thitikul 在 14 洞出现失误，在第一次 birdie 推球失手后，第二次推球在 4 英尺距离进洞，记录了她的第三个柏忌。不过，Thitikul 在 15 洞通过一个长距离推球保住了标准杆，限制了损失。

“我确实……有时会感到沮丧，”Thitikul 说，“当我出现三推时，然后又在 15 洞的边缘处失手，我当时在场上感到非常沮丧。”

在由 Ryu 和 Nelly Korda 统治的 LPGA 大奖赛赛季中，Thitikul 经常被忽视，后者两人瓜分了前四个冠军。Korda 在 4 月取代 Thitikul 成为世界第 1，赢得了前两个大奖赛，而 Ryu 赢得了接下来的两个。

Kuwaki 在回合早起连续打出 3 个 birdie，但随后被柏忌抵消。她在 13 洞又丢了一杆。

Korda 在周五打出 69 杆后，目前落后 6 杆。

CBS 在罗莫被捕后将其停职，瓦特将接任首席分析师

来自新闻服务

CBS 在托尼·罗莫（Tony Romo）上周因涉嫌酒后驾驶被捕后，将其从该网络 NFL 报道首席分析师的岗位上停职。

CBS 体育在周五表示，这位前达拉斯牛仔队四分卫将停职“直至另行通知”。（在罗莫缺席期间，瓦特将与吉姆·南宁和特雷西·沃尔夫森共同组成 CBS 体育的 NFL 首席报道团队。）

46 岁的罗莫于 7 月 22 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，罗莫在被拘留前在现场交付测试中表现不佳，随后被逮捕并释放。他的出庭日期定在 9 月 11 日。

CBS 体育的公告是在密尔沃基县警长办公室发布报告之后发出的，报告指出在一次清点听证会中，罗莫黑色车辆的乘客侧发现了一瓶开启的酒精饮料。

根据传票，警察在看到罗莫在分隔州际交通的纯净区域超车后将其拦截。

工作人员：理查德·D·贝茨，2024

托尼·罗莫在威斯康星州因涉嫌酒后驾驶被捕。

……来自通过匝道进入的车辆。警方表示，罗莫在停留期间询问什么是纯净区域。

—鹰击者（FALKLESS）： 紧端锋塔克·克拉夫特（Tucker Kraft）已从“身体无法参加训练”名单中移除，他正继续从一次 A / C 伤势中康复。

此举允许克拉夫特返回训练，尽管格林贝主教练马特·拉弗勒（Matt LaFleur）表示，这位 2024 年第三轮选秀球员目前不会参加某些演习。

克拉夫特在上一赛季的 8 场比赛中接球 22 次，获得 649 码和 6 个触球，随后在 11 月 2 日以 16-12 负于卡罗来纳黑豹队的比赛中放弃了他的 A / C 权利。

这位进入第四年的紧端符在赛季结束后将成为自由球员，目前正与包装工队进行续约谈判。当被问及在没有新合同的情况下是否对在训练中全力以赴有顾虑时，克拉夫特回答道：“完全没有。”

—拉希斯（RAHIS）： 洛杉矶个人所有者亚伦·多纳希尔斯（Aaron Donahills）在球队处于训练营期间不会做出决定，但主教练肖恩·麦克维（Sean McVay）表示，防守线卫正处于“正确的方向”。

“如果有一个箭头，它正指向{上方}，”麦克维在全队第一次训练后说道。

—吉尔温（GILWYN）： 跑卫科里·斯卡特洛夫（Cory Skattelov）在经历严重的右脚踝和大脚趾受伤九个月后，宣布自己几乎完全康复。

但由于上个月在纽约进行的一段视频中，他做了一个后空翻并用手术修复的脚踝着地，他表示自己正处于恢复过程中，并说他现在将“把后空翻留在球场外”。

—酋长（CHIEF'S）： 堪萨斯城正计划为其老旧的箭头体育场建设一个耗资 83 billion 的圆顶替代方案，用于举办超级碗和最终四强赛（Final Four）。该项目尚未动工，预计将在 2025 年 NFL 赛季前准备就绪。

酋长队总裁马克·多诺万（Mark Donovan）表示，关于在 2025、2026 或 2030 年举办超级碗的对话一直在进行，且组织正在“积极争取”举办大学篮球冠军赛。

—猎鹰（FALCONS）： 亚特兰大防守协调员杰夫·乌尔里希（Jeff Ullrich）的妻子克里斯蒂娜·乌尔里希（Cristina Ullrich）去世，享年 68 岁。

球队在周四晚上宣布她去世的声明中表示，克里斯蒂娜·乌尔里希一直与癌症作斗争，杰夫·乌尔里希在训练营前三天未随队。

—杂项（MISC.）： 阿拉巴马体育名人堂表示，曾在超级碗 I 中为酋长队首发的前安全卫波比·亨特（Bobby Hunt）去世，享年 89 岁。

亨特于 1992 年被达拉斯参议院选中——就在他们搬到堪萨斯城的前一年。亨特在 1980 赛季创下了职业生涯最佳的拦截记录，该赛季以酋长队在第一届超级碗中输给包装工队而告终。总体而言，他在为德克萨斯人 / 酋长队及辛辛那提孟加拉虎队出战的 12 场比赛中完成了 42 次拦截。

芝加哥——Caleb Williams 已经准备好动起来了。

在周三的首次训练赛后，芝加哥熊队的四分卫表示，他在休赛期减轻了 10 到 12 磅。其目标是在口袋内部以及突破时都能更加灵活。

“我对这一点感到兴奋，能够移动得更好一些，更流畅，”曾在华盛顿特区 Gunnaga 高中成名的球星 Williams 说道。

自从 2024 年作为 1 号选秀球员进入 NFL 以来，Williams 一直是一名体型较厚实的四分卫。熊队将他的身高体重列为 6 英尺 4 英寸，220 磅，但球队并不经常更新官方名册上的这些数据。上个赛季，Williams 的体重被列为 228 磅。而在 2024 年新秀赛季，熊队记录他为 210 磅。

Williams 表示，帮助他减轻体重的最大因素是安排好时间表。他在休赛期投入了大量时间训练，但同时也确保安排了放松时间。专注于饮食和进食时机是一个关键因素。

“在特定的时间进食，”Williams 说，“尝试在 7.5 点之后进食，保持规律地、健康地饮食。”

移动能力一直是 Williams 比赛风格的重要组成部分。虽然他不是像 Michael Vick 或 1 星 Jackson 那样的跑动型四分卫，但他在需要时确实会奔跑。他的饮食计划在去年四分卫排名中位列 7. 之中。在三年的大学足球赛中，他贡献了 27 次冲球达阵。

但他的比赛重点不在于单纯的奔跑，而在于利用移动能力来避开潜在的擒杀。即便 Williams 在乱跑，他通常仍然在寻找传球机会。

在 1 月对阵格林贝包装工队的季后赛逆转之战中，他在一次四档 8 码的传球完成中表现得十分幸运。当芝加哥队在第四节落后且比赛至关重要时，Williams 逃离了口袋，跳起避开一名防守队员抓取的手臂，随后与外接手 Rome Okkuno 成功接球获得首档进攻。静态照片显示，这次跳跃让人想起迈克尔·乔丹的惊人高度。

一个移动能力较差的四分卫绝不可能完成那次进攻。Williams 知道他的移动能力是他最大的资产之一。

“我认为真的没有什么是他做不到的，”熊队教练 Ben Johnson 说道。

“我认为真的没有什么是他做不到的，”熊队执教第二年的教练 Ben Johnson 在谈到他这名第三年球员的四分卫时说道。

“出色的手臂天赋、创造机会的能力、洞察力——你知道，他还拥有可以伤害防守方的腿部能力。我的意思是，作为一名球员，他的维度实在太丰富了。”

Johnson 表示，他希望在整场比赛中看到更多的稳定性。即便熊队在上赛季获胜并实现了多次惊人的逆转，但在比赛早期的某些阶段，Williams 和进攻组仍会陷入低迷。

“你能看到这种闪光点，”Johnson 说，“但我们正试图挖掘这一点，以便我们能持续地将球传到需要去的地方。”

Williams 在休赛期继续与私人四分卫教练 Will Hewlett 和运动表现教练 Tom Gormley 合作，两人已与他共事多年。

随着对 Johnson 进攻体系以及教练对四分卫需求的深入理解，Williams 优化了他的私人训练以适配熊队的进攻方案。Hewlett 和 Gormley 随后在一些细节上给予他帮助，例如当传球距离偏差或时机不准时该如何处理。

“所以，如果我内部传球失误了，为什么会失误？”Williams 说。“分析出那种感觉，这样如果它在比赛或练习中出现，我就能够调整和纠正。”

Williams 已经掌握了 Johnson 进攻体系的基础。Johnson 指出，他对 Williams 在球开球前所有环节的理解感到满意。

真正的增长潜力在于快传之后。约翰逊提到了对掩护的识别和预判。

70 百分比的完成率永远是目标。约翰逊表示，但熊队并不一定期望威廉姆斯在今年能达到这个指标。新英格兰爱国者的德雷克·梅斯是上赛季唯一一位完成率超过 70 百分比的四分卫。

“如果你的四分卫能精准地把球传出去，或者球传到了到位，你将拥有一支非常出色的进攻线，”约翰逊说道。

根据 Pro Football Reference 的数据，在 2025, 年的 12 位合格四分卫中，威廉姆斯的 10.1 百分比完成率排名第 22 位。这低于他新秀赛季的 63.5 百分比，以及在 CBC 最后一季爆发赛季时的 68.8 百分比。

一些细节将帮助他在这个领域有所提升。对系统的熟悉程度也有所帮助。

“部分原因在于对进攻的信心，”威廉姆斯说。“也就是说，知道我应该把球传到哪里，不再犹豫，果断决策，目光看向正确的位置。”

而当进攻陷入混乱时，威廉姆斯相信他更精悍的体型将帮助他避开麻烦。在新秀赛季，威廉姆斯承受了全联盟最高的 10 次擒杀。由于多种原因，包括休赛期进攻线的大幅提升，他上赛季仅被擒杀 24 次。

他证明了自己很难被击倒，而目标是在 2026 年变得更加灵活。

“我们都知道，在关键时刻，他有能力披上那件超人斗篷，”约翰逊说。

而这位“超人”现在变得更加敏捷了。

德米瑙在华盛顿出局；佩古拉、大坂直美晋级

“比赛结束。”

中岛直也将在周六的一场半决赛中对阵 3 号种子泰勒·弗里茨，后者以 6-1, 6-6, 7-6 (9-6) 击败亚历克斯·米切尔森。在其他男子赛事中，拉斐尔·乔德兹以 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 爆冷击败 4 号种子洛伦佐·穆塞蒂，并将在半决赛中对阵 2 号种子本·谢尔顿或亚历杭德罗·泰特斯（后者在周五晚些时候参赛）。

女子 1 号种子且世界排名第 1 的杰西卡·佩古拉最初并没有计划在华盛顿参赛。在温布尔登网球锦标赛后的两周空档期内，她有两场婚礼要参加，并且有“大约五个赞助活动”需要出差。作为美国硬地赛事的首站，华盛顿公开赛在美网之前，并未在她的优先级名单前列。

但这位 2020 年的冠军最终决定参加，在温布尔登四分之一决赛出局后接受了一张外卡进入正赛。现在，佩古拉在周五下午以 6-3, 7-1 击败卡林斯卡娅后，在半决赛中将面对 4 号种子迪安娜·比萨里尔。比萨里尔以 6-3, 6-7 淘汰了林多拉·达马索娃。

“我觉得状态相当不错，”佩古拉在赛后表示。“我认为这场比赛比昨天的比赛要简单得多。不过仍然有难度，尤其是在最后阶段。但是，是的，永远不要对比赛产生侥幸心理，所以如果我能以一个比平时更简单的胜利击败她，那么对我来说就是非常不错的一天。”

作为 1 号种子，佩古拉在第一轮获得了轮空，直到周四才打首场比赛。在那场比赛中，她用了三盘才击败非种子选手玛格达莱娜·弗雷奇，随后在面对卡林斯卡娅时显得更加舒适和自信。

“在温网之后，我真的没有打球，大约 10, 15 天，几乎 23 天，”佩古拉说。“然后，当然，我处于完全停赛状态，所以当我回来时，我生病了……所以我认为多出的一天是有帮助的。我认为这里天气没有那么热也很有帮助。我记得我查看了天气，因为我更担心在没有比赛、回归并生病之后，被扔进历史上一直非常炎热的华盛顿。”

“但我看到天气会凉爽一点，我就想，‘好吧，也许我可以撑过这一周，没问题。’”

尽管周五的气温比佩古拉周四比赛时高得多，且天气阴沉得多，但她击败卡林斯卡娅的比赛仅用时 1 小时 10 分钟，因此她不必在酷热中待太久。

亚历克斯·德米瑙在华盛顿公开赛四分之一决赛负于布兰登·中岛直也时击出反手球。“这完全归功于他，”德米瑙说。

2 号种子大坂直美耗时 2:15 击败伊丽莎白·科斯坦佐，比分为 4-6, 6-4, 6-3。大坂直美将面对亚历山德拉·拉拉，后者以 6-3, 6-4 淘汰了 2 号种子埃琳娜·斯雷贝利娜。

“今天，我不知道。我觉得很艰难，”大坂直美说。“总的来说，这场比赛非常艰苦，感觉更像是一场心理战，而不是真正的技术突破战。我不觉得我打得那么好，但更像是每一分都在苦战……氛围很热烈，但我希望在下一轮中我能打得更好。”

Griffin 可能的最后一场登场表现糟糕

全国邮报 (NATIONWIDE POST)

或者说，事实就是如此。我们是专业人士，对吧？我仍然得在场上发挥并执行。这不能成为今晚情况如此的借口，但这正是我目前所处的境地！

就像已被交易的 Curtis Moad 一样，Griffin 是新任 2024 世界正棒球运营总裁的成功案例。Paul Tolson 对 Washington 和 Moad 为扭转职业生涯所付出的努力持有感性的自豪，同时也对失去这一切感到有些难过。但他必须在情感与商业之间取得平衡，而获得 Connelly Early 是对弹道投球任务的一次重大提升。

现在，国民队必须决定如何处理 Griffin。他的情况不像 Moody 那样简单明确，White Washington 拥有 Brady House——一名曾在俄亥俄州活动的前球员——准备在三垒接替 Moad，但即使 Griffin 仍在考虑之列，球队也没有足够的可用投球资源。

他一直是轮值阵容中的中流砥柱：即便在周五糟糕的登场之后，他的 ERA 仍为 3. 而平均每场先发投球接近 6 局，他还被选中进入首发全能之队，并成为休息室中不可或缺的一部分，指导像 Cule Cavalli 和 Andrew Alvarez 这样的年轻投手。

“这甚至不关乎投球，”Griffin 在反思在国民队的意义时说道，“这在某种程度上关乎我们在休息室中建立的同志情谊——这里的文化非常棒。我觉得球队里有很多闪耀的明星，以及很多崭露头角的明星，这将使我们能够在该分区和该联盟中长期竞争。”

Griffin 没有社交媒体，但他依然了解情况。周五走进体育场时，他开玩笑地询问自己是否仍然先发，因为纽约大都会队去掉了 Freddy Presby，底特律老虎队对 Casey Mize 也做了同样处理。和 Griffin 一样，他们都是在周一截止日期前可能被交易的球队。

从一开始就有迹象表明周五不是 Griffin 的日子。他被 Matt 和 Greg 击出了一支独跑本垒打，对方在第一球就击中了正中央的切球。一局之后，Dan Jarvis 的一支打点单分安打让勇士队以 3 0 领先。

在第四局，CJ Abrams 击出了一支独跑本垒打，这是他 2016, 赛季的跑步者，为华盛顿队得分。

Griffin 在第二局和第五局面对了最少人数的击球手，但在第六局情况恶化，因为勇士队在第一球上采取了更激进的挥棒和执行。在一次双杀后，Chris Odom 的单打以及 Michael Harris II 在该局第三球击出的三分本垒打，让勇士队以 3 1 领先。

Mauricio DeSio 随后击出一支单打，直到 Griffin 最终通过三振 Austin Riley才拿到了第一个出局数，但损失已经造成。

“在第六局面对核心打击顺序再次登场时，我觉得自己肯定有工作要做，因为我觉得他们比平时更依赖第 100 次击球，”Griffin 说道。

Trevor Williams 接手，在另一次 Jarvis 的单打中失掉一分。这位右投手在经历了肘部内支架手术后的第二次复出登场中，为华盛顿队完成了比赛且未失分。

国民队本有机会让比赛变得有趣，但连续第二场比赛，他们在关键时刻未能发挥。他们在得分圈有跑者时 0 比 9，使得本系列赛的记录为 4 for 17。五分之六。

他们在过去两场比赛中的得分均来自单分本垒打，包括 Austin Chaparro 在周五第九局击出的一记终结球。

当 Griffin 在第六局结束第二次投球、低头走下场时，他心中想的是这次令人沮丧的登场表现，而不是下一次先发会在哪里。和所有人一样，他只是在等待截止日期时将发生的事情。

如果这标志着他效力于国民队的时光结束，他说他很感激球队给了他机会，并感谢队友们给予的支持。

“就目前而言，我是 Tide 的一名球员，”Griffin 说道。“几天后，我们就会知道我在哪里。无论我是否还在这里并尝试共同完成这件事，还是在另一支球队，我都会感激任何机会。我的表现以及获胜的意愿永远不会改变，无论是在这里还是在其他地方。”

十大联盟展示冠军实力

专员认为 CFP 的成功使该联盟 在面对 SEI 时占据优势。

作者：STEVE MILLAGUE

在关于哪个大学美式足球联盟最强的争论中，SEI 认为其卓越的深度弥补了十大联盟（Big Ten）赢得过去三届全国冠军的劣势。

十大联盟则认为，将其声誉仅视为顶级球队联盟是不公平的。

专员 Tony Petitti 认为，这三次大学美式足球季后赛（CFP）冠军——分别由密歇根大学在 2023 年、俄亥俄州立大学在 2024 年以及印第安那大学在 2025 年获得——既证明了十大联盟顶尖球队的实力，也证明了其整体实力。

“除非他们在比赛中证明自己——并且取得成功，而我们一直非常成功——否则你无法在常规赛中通过[赌博]来衡量顶尖球队在 CFP 中的表现，”Petitti 本周表示。“这意味着联盟中游球队的竞争力并非不存在。”

大学美式足球重量级联盟之间的权力平衡，一直是该联盟媒体日期间体育报道的主轴。

Petitti 在十大联盟最近获得的 CFP 奖杯旁向记者发表讲话。伊利诺伊 CCF 拥有出色的防守，且该球队一直沉浸在过去之中；印第安那大学教练 Curt Cigwell 表示，十大联盟是最强的这一点“毫无疑问”。

“数据已经说明了问题。我一直很优秀，‘我们在中西部运行着一台希望机器。我们相信一切都是靠努力赢得的，而非天赐。当我们失败时，我们会说，‘我们失败了。’我们不会号啕大哭，也不会抱怨。这就是为什么我们是最强的。’”

SEC 专员 Greg Hankey 在一周前为其主张进行了辩护。

“我不认为我们的学校能创造出像东南部联盟（Southeastern Conference）那样每周都如此激烈的竞争环境，”Hankey 说道。

SEC 的学校在 2000 到 2022 年间共赢得了 15 个全国冠军，但该联盟没有任何一支球队进入过去三届的冠军赛。

在采用 15 强 CFP 赛制的前两年中，共有七所 SEC 学校获得了八次季后赛出场机会。而十大联盟则有四所学校共获得七个季后赛席位。

某些指标支持这样一种观点，即 50 强规模的 SEC 在底层实力上比 10 所学校的十大联盟更强。ESPN 的 Bill Connell 制作了 IFA 排名，这是一种预测性衡量指标，通过调整节奏和对手强度来评估评分和球队效率。

在 2019 赛季的 IFA 排名中，十大联盟占据了前五名中的三席，而 SEC 仅有一支球队进入前五。但十大联盟有七个项目在名单中排名低于 SEC 最低排名的球队——第 47 位的肯塔基大学。

在过去两个赛季中，十大联盟在 2019 年拥有前两名球队，包括 3-0 的季后赛记录以及在另外两场比赛中 3-2 的战绩。十大联盟在那些非季后赛比赛中赢得了 16 场未被列入计划的胜利。

伊利诺伊大学在其中贡献了两支球队，分别在 2024 年的柑橘碗（Citrus Bowl）中击败南卡罗来纳大学，以及在 2025 年的音乐之城碗（Music City Bowl）中击败田纳西大学。在 2025 年，伊利诺伊大学本周在评论 SEC “自 2000 年起就很难生存”时，有理由对自己和所属联盟感到乐观。

提及 2000 年这一点耐人寻味，因为在那一季，德克萨斯大学在仍属于 Big 12 联盟时赢得了冠军，而一年后 SEC 才开始连续获得两次冠军。Believes 表示他选择 2005 年，因为那是他在威斯康星大学开始担任主教练之前的一年。

“转会期和收入分成，或者叫 NIL（姓名、形象、似像权），无论你如何描述——当这两个元素进入大学美式足球时，整个世界都改变了，”Believes 说道，他在执教 SEC 学校期间在 2012-13 年记录为 25-24。 “我的意思是，超越这一点已经非常明显，但我认为任何精确的描述都说明大学美式足球已经进入了一个不同的时代。事实就是这样。”

22 场季后赛中的 14 场

过去两年的比赛以 Big Ten 球队为特色，其中包括两场同分区对手的对决。六个月前，甚至拥有 SEC 背景的 Big Ten 教练也声称这样做是正确的。

“我只是看看规则，你知道，过去三年，全国冠军都出自这个分区，”曾在 2018 到 2026 年间在密苏里大学担任教练且战绩为 20-20 的 Paulsen Barry Olson 说道。“你也可以看看与其他任何分区的季后赛获胜次数相比，我们在季后赛中赢了两场或很多场，或者领先于下一个分区。”

UCLA 四分卫 Nico Iannacen 拥有在 2024 年分区赛中比赛的经验，并在 2024 年的季后赛中击败了田纳西大学。

“我认为这是两个伟大的联盟——两个非常强悍的伟大联盟，”Iannacen 说道。“我认为其中一个在身体对抗方面非常强，但多年来，在竞技水平上已经基本持平了。”

“我认为每个人都能招到同等级别的运动员……我认为 SEC 确实有很多强悍的球队，所以每周都会是一场硬仗，但我对 Big Ten 也有同样的感觉。”

球队教练们对此争论激烈，并渴望在球场上解决问题——或许通过更多地进行直接对决。

“你永远不会听到 30% 的人说 NFL 比 APC 更好，”华盛顿大学教练 Jedyl Peck 说道。“你永远听不到‘瞧瞧，我们赢了过去几年的超级碗’。我们把这变成了一种竞争，而不是退一步说，‘谁在乎？让我们比赛吧’。”

国际足联撤回世界杯股权计划

FIFA FOOD BY

北美的 CFPACACAF 和亚洲足联也表示反对该计划。

“世界杯是美好的，赢得它非常重要，”CEFA 在一份声明中表示。“世界杯属于足球。它永远如此，必须引入欧洲的声音，这绝不能是起点。”

Infantries 的首席顾问 Can See Coetzee 是一名曾代表该足球组织参加白宫世界杯工作组的前高盛银行家，他于周五辞职，并敦促其他国际足联高层发表意见。

“在国际足联考虑出售世界杯股份时，我不能坐视不管，”Coetzee 在一份声明中表示，而就在几小时前，国际足联还坚称：“没有人要出售足球。”

数小时后，国际足联首席运营官 Kevin Larson 向 AF 发布了一份声明，称国际足联员工在过去几个月中被规划出售方案的人员缺乏透明度所误导，该项目绝不能继续。

“这是个体的行为，”Larson 写道，他是 Infantries 在国际足联和欧洲足球组织 CEFA 的长期同事。“不仅这个项目不能推进……而且现在是足球政治领导人们问自己正确的问题并做出正确决定的时候了。”

Infantries 曾提议将国际足联的商业业务——包括男女世界杯和世俱杯——拆分出一个 200 亿美元 billion 子公司，其中 20 percent 由私人投资者持有。

国际足联描述的这些“最早投资者”是一家总部位于纽约的投资公司，由 Justice Kaufman 创建，他是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普女婿 Jared Kaufman 的弟弟。

下一项国际足联赛事是 7 月在波兰开始的 U-20 女足世界杯——CEFA 成员表示他们将从中受益。

这次失误对于 Infantries 来说可能是代价沉重的，特别是在 Larson 和 Coetzee 介入之后。

在 2020 和 2021, 年均在毫无竞争的情况下当选，根据国际足联章程，Infantries 还可以再任一个四年的任期。下次总统选举的截止日期是 11 月 18, 日，正好在摩洛哥 Babel（国际足联非洲总部所在地）投票前的四个月。

尽管其风格和之前试图通过不受欢迎的项目进行改革的尝试在长期看来一直存在争议，但 Infantries 的职位依然稳固，不过随着这次私募股权计划的失败，他的地位可能会变得更加岌岌可危。

“专业的评估者将继续把大学体育视为一个后卫（fullback）。他们——在他们可能关闭年轻运动员大学奖学金的地方，”贝克说道。

特朗普在戴维营痛斥政治敌手

作者：丹·迪尔伯德 (DAN DEARBOND)

特朗普总统周五在戴维营举行了一场被政府称为首次电视转播的内阁会议。他将副手们召集到这个安全的林间静修地，旨在宣传政府的成就。

然而，这个位于马里兰州乡村的环境长期以来被历任总统用于举行敏感的私人会议或作为宁静的避风港，而现在它迅速成为了特朗普表达对其一系列停滞不前的事项及外交政策倡议之挫败感的最新舞台。

特朗普抨击了阻止其司法部长提名人的共和党参议员，对拟议中 18 亿美元 billion 的司法部母基金崩溃表示遗憾，质疑伊朗是否在诚意地谈判潜在的停火协议，并警告称如果民主党赢得统一选举，他们将开放美国边境。

他再次痛斥参议员约翰·科鲁姆 (John Corrum, 共和党-特兰斯)，后者是随着特朗普支持率下降且统一选举临近而抵制其政策的几位共和党议员之一。科鲁姆在今年由于特朗普支持其对手而失去了初选资格，他目前已经

总统还表示，这是在该马里兰州乡村综合体中举行的首次电视转播内阁会议。

与另外几位跛脚鸭参议员联手，阻挠代理司法部长托德·布兰奇 (Todd Blanche) 获得正式职位的提名。

特朗普表示，科鲁姆已经“变成了一个非常愤怒的人”，同时他赞扬了布兰奇——其前私人律师。“托德·布兰奇是一个非常好非常好的人，他不应该陷入这场争端之中。”

总统周五的这番言论与他在面对面交流及社交媒体上表达的类似抱怨相呼应，但由于其背景不寻常而最令人瞩目。历史上，媒体不被允许访问戴维营，而报道周五内阁会议的记者被告知将手机留在房间外，因为这里是一个安全信息设施。然而，白宫允许了该会议的几路视频直播，并允许摄影师拍照。

总统和白宫官员表示，这是在该乡村综合体中举行的首次电视转播内阁会议。特朗普曾在 5 月计划在该地举行内阁会议，但以天气恶劣的风险为由取消了此次计划。

戴维营位于华盛顿以北约 60 英里处，由富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统在 1842 年建立，作为二战期间安全的总统静修地。罗斯福将其命名为“香格里拉”，取自喜马拉雅山脉的一个虚拟天堂。大约十年后，德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔总统为了纪念他的孙子，将该综合体重新命名为戴维营，这一举动引起了一些嘲讽。

历任总统曾利用该地打击外国领导人、审查敏感情报以及摆脱总统职位的日常压力。特朗普的前任乔·拜登尤其喜欢在营地的步道上骑行和散步。

极速赛车，盛大集会

关于 8 月将在国家广场周边举办的 Freedom 250 大奖赛街道赛你需要了解的一切

华盛顿特区已经经历了一个充满美国 200 岁生日相关活动的夏天——而且还有更多活动即将到来。

Freedom 250 大奖赛——一场在国家广场周边街道上举办的开创性汽车赛事——将于 8 月 22 和 23 日举行。唐纳德·特朗普总统在 1 月通过行政命令设立了这项赛事。

周三，华盛顿特区市长穆丽尔·E·鲍泽 (D) 在十几位当地及联邦官员以及主办方 Penske Corp. 总裁的陪同下，分享了此次活动的筹备细节以及该活动将如何影响华盛顿居民。

极高速度，海量人群

这条全长 1.68 英里、包含 7 个弯道的赛道将从西南第三街（Third Street SW）开始，紧邻国会省思池（Capitol Reflecting Pool）。赛道还将经过宾夕法尼亚大道，绕过国家档案局，经过第九街和第七街，然后转向独立大道并折回第三街。预计赛车手的速度将达到 181 mph。相比之下，当地典型的限速仅为 24 mph。

主办方预计每天将有大量观众参加，其中 70,000 人将位于赛道内部。该活动的普通入场券免费，目前已全部被抢购一空 333 RACE ON B14

众议员詹姆斯·科默提出的法案令华盛顿特区官员措手不及

作者：保罗·施瓦茨曼 (PAUL SCHWARTZMAN)

直到最近，华盛顿特区的官员们一直将众议员詹姆斯·科默 (James Comer) 视为一名新的共和党候选人。他给人的印象过于冷静，而该议员积极支持华盛顿指挥官队 (Washington Commanders) 回到重建后的 RFK 体育场，进一步证实了这一印象。

但这种好感最近被打破了，因为科默（来自肯塔基州）提出的一项措施被当地官员描述为近期以来对该市自治权最严重的威胁——该法案要求华盛顿特区的立法者在提高或降低税收和费用之前必须获得国会的批准。

尽管当地立法者的助手与该议员的办公人员保持着定期沟通，但科默的提案仍然让当地立法者措手不及。科默目前担任众议院监督与政府改革委员会主席，在该市拥有重要影响力。

“我一直在与该议员建立工作关系，但他甚至没有提到他在考虑这件事，也没有问过我的看法，”华盛顿特区议会主席菲尔·门德尔森 (Phil Mendelson, D) 在一次电话采访中抱怨道。

这位主席警告说，如果科默的提案在众议院和参议院通过，将损害任何政府的核心职能——筹集资金的能力。“它削弱了特区政府，阻碍了经济发展，并限制了我们控制支出能力，”门德尔森说。

他还担心国会的干预可能会导致华盛顿特区的信用评级被华尔街下调，从而增加该市借贷资金的成本。“这是一个非常糟糕的法案，”他说。

众议员詹姆斯·科默 (R-Kentucky) 在统一选举前三个月提出了该措施。

尽管关于税收立法的初步讨论始于 5 月，但监督委员会在 6 月 17 日开始起草该法案，而就在前一天，议员詹森·刘易斯·乔治 (Janssen Lewis George, D-Ward 4) 赢得了初选市长提名，这几乎保证了她将接替华盛顿特区市长穆丽尔·E·鲍泽 (Muriel E. Bowser, D)。

作为一名激进的民主社会主义者，刘易斯·乔治在华盛顿特区作为政治力量的崛起使其成为了共和党攻击的焦点，包括总统唐纳德·特朗普在内，后者曾呼吁需要一名“指挥官”。

特朗普提出熟悉的抱怨

坎普戴维德 (CAMP DAVID FRON REG)

最近一直访问自己的房产，并定于本周末在其位于新泽西州雷德明斯特 (Redminster) 的度假村发表讲话。周五，他决定离开装饰着大量金箔的白宫，前往 1962. 总统度假地，该地位于卡梅拉山公园 (Cameira Mountain Park)。

“这个房间是一个非常、非常特别的房间，”特朗普在会议开始时说道，“我相信之前的……在靠近它的时候，但我们是透明之党！”

在周五会议的前 40 分钟里，特朗普和几位副手强调了他的政策，例如谈判降低药品价格的努力，期间有时会停下来赞赏他们自己的跨领域成果。卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) 表示，他在 60 多年前就去过坎普戴维德，当时他的叔叔约翰·F·肯尼迪是总统，而他的父亲是司法部长。

周五会议的前 40 分钟，“这个地方的诊所水平，”卫生部长说道，并主张约翰·F·肯尼迪对他恢复 1962 年选举的决定感到不满。“我认为如果他有第二个任期，他会将其命名为‘香格里拉’。”

特朗普的内阁成员在会议中，正如在以往的会议中一样，也趁机对总统大加赞赏。国防部长皮特·霍加斯 (Pete Hogarth) 将军功归于特朗普的政策，他表示这些政策提升了军队的士气，包括总统将该部门重新命名为“战争部”的努力，以及为了庆祝国家 2000 周年而安排的“B”和必须执行的“B”飞行表演。

“悖论，200 (周年) 飞行表演，美国人民正以过去不曾有的方式看到并感受到他们的军队，”霍加斯说，“那很快！”

会议的其他部分，包括特朗普与工作人员的交流，集中在总统对各种问题的主张上，包括针对食品的防御。特朗普曾表示，食品将补偿那些声称受到政府不当调查的人，但民主党人和一些共和党议员表示，食品可能会不恰当地奖励某些人，例如在 6, 2025, 1月6日美国国会山参与“B”和“B”飞行表演的人。一名联邦法官已警告政府不要重启该计划。

特朗普周五表示，支付 $1,000 就是 $1,000，并补充说他希望该计划能重启，但声称他个人不想从中获利。

“我可能比任何人都更……对于国家的历史，因为我没在寻求那个，”特朗普说。

特朗普还口头攻击了政治对手，并谈及了一些一直困扰他的其他话题。

总统警告称，如果民主党在空间竞争中击败共和党议员，选举将持续且美国边境将被逾越——提及了一起发生在西班牙北非哨所的近期事件。

据报道，特朗普嘲讽了明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔特 (Tim Walt, D.)，认为他面对该州市政水系统遭受网络攻击时的表现是一样的，但这是政府中的一件事情。美国情报机构怀疑是某方发起了此次网络攻击，但特朗普排除了这种可能性。

“有比担心明尼苏达州更大的问题，”特朗普说，称该州政府“正陷入毫无意义的状态”。

他在社交媒体上写道，“飞舞的叶子准确地知道谁对这次攻击负责，并且知道其他州也受到了影响，”并链接到了关于其他州类似网络攻击的新闻报道。

该州长还询问特朗普是否在通过与他的持续冲突来提供帮助，而这已导致总统的民调下降并推高了价格。

“特朗普听不到，因为他正忙于与明尼苏达州开战，”沃尔特写道。

华盛顿特区官员原以为能与科默合作。一项新法案让他们大吃一惊。

来自 REG 的科默法案（CONNER'S BILL FROM REG）

决定了共和党是否掌控众议院，以及该国会议员是否继续担任监督委员会主席。

监督委员会发言人 Austin Hasbro 没有回答关于科默在提交税收法案前与市级官员沟通的问题。Hasbro 在一份非公开声明中表示，该议员提出这项立法是“为了应对华盛顿特区议会鲁莽地推动增加税收”，并点名批评 Lewis George，因为她希望“明年对华盛顿特区居民和企业征税”。

Lewis George 在一份声明中表示，该市“不需要也不希望国会干预我们的事务”，并且她反对“对居住在华盛顿特区的劳动者或中产阶级家庭，或对华盛顿特区所有的小型企业征收新税”。

与此同时，Lewis George 将自己描述为“对我们需要寻找额外收入来源持开放态度”，并且她支持“与市代理机构密切合作以增加收入，包括堵住税收漏洞”。

在竞选期间，Lewis George 谈到了创造一项商业活动，其结果是针对例如 8. 街道游说公司或咨询公司或其他居住在市外的企业利益团体的所有者。另一位当地法律专家，核心成员 Brisanie R. Nadson (D-Wisn) 2，在工作一年后，最近提出对投资和其他被动收入征收一项新税，金额为 $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

DoorDash 对科默的法案表示赞赏，该公司此前反对该县在 7 月初通过的一项 20 年资金交付计划。DoorDash 对该立法的支持已促使华盛顿特区的立法者和活动人士敦促居民支付该服务费用。

新参议院是否会通过科默的提案仍是一个未知数，因为多年来，一些针对该市自治权的共和党法案在广为人知的推出后均以失败告终。

然而，科默作为一名高知名度的委员会主席，正促使当地官员将他的税收法案视为对 1981 年引入机制的威胁。他在一份声明中表示，这将“使特区重新成为非哭泣者的热门之选，摆脱新冠疫情、联邦远程办公的削弱影响以及”

当被问及该立法时，市长发言人 Susana Castillo 将记者引导至 Bowser 的声明。她拒绝为相关人员提供来自行政部门的演说词。

Beverly Perry 直到去年秋天还以 Bowser 高级顾问的身份与众议院共和党人打交道，她表示科默与该立法的密切关联使这项法案与过去的共和党方案有所区别。“他竟然是发起人，这让我很惊讶，”在 10 月辞职的 Perry 说道，“在共和党人尝试各种疯狂举措的艰难时期，他一直是对这座城市友好的。”

她将科默 2023 年关于将 RJR 体育场及周围土地所有权从联邦政府转移给华盛顿特区的税收实现法案，描述为“该市数十年以来通过的最具变革性的法案”。

“我会称他为朋友，”Perry 说，“根据我们的经验，他一直很理智且周到。”

在学生选举临近之际，将目标对准华盛顿特区的推定租金市长，符合共和党更广泛的推动计划，即将民主党描绘成被崛起的一批民主社会主义者所控制，这一群体以众议员 Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (D-Wav Wisn) 和纽约市市长 Edelson Marchant 为代表。Lewis George 预计将于 1 月就职。

联邦城市委员会（Federal City Council，一家总部位于华盛顿特区的商业咨询团体）主席 Tom Davis 对政治博弈十分精通，他曾是弗吉尼亚州的共和党国会议员，并在 2003 年至 2007 年期间担任监督委员会主席。

戴维斯表示，从实际操作层面来看，参议院是否会批准科默的立法方案远未可知，因为“目前很难让任何提案在参议院通过”。与此同时，科默的这项措施为共和党人提供了一个便捷的工具，让他们可以将自己塑造为财政负责且厌恶税收的政党。

“我正在与这位国会议员建立工作关系，而他甚至没有提到他正在考虑这件事，也没有询问我的看法。”

——华盛顿特区议会主席 Phil Mendelson 在一次电话采访中表示

“有很多共和党成员在关注如何通过此类举措来获取政绩，而他们根本不在意华盛顿特区实际上会发生什么，”他说道。“这是一个没有后果的漂亮姿态，甚至可以说是一次表态。这是向这座城市以及即将就任的市长发出的一种信号，表明他们对其可能带来的影响持有某种一致的看法。”

戴维斯表示，联邦城市委员会（Federal City Council）的商业领袖们正致力于“与新市长合作”，即便许多人在民主党初选中支持她。为了组织特区……（此处原文不完整），戴维斯说：“我们的很多成员也意识到了这一点。每个人都会给她一个机会。”

另一个当地商业倡导组织 Opportunity DC（曾在初选中支持麦克杜菲）反对科默的立法，因为“这是一个彻头彻尾的……（此处原文不完整）。在特区自治问题上，我们持有分歧，”该组织执行主任 Ralston Fox 说道。尽管“商业团体中确实有些人不想看到自己的税收增加，”他表示，“但我们自我管理的能力优先于这一点。”

众议院共和党人干预特区事务的历史由来之久，例如在 1990 年代末，他们强行加入一项预算附加条款，禁止该市使用地方税收资助堕胎服务。

1990 年代，当马里恩·巴里（Marion Barry）担任市长且该市处于破产边缘时，众议院共和党人通过两党合作成立了一个监督委员会来监管该市的财政。随着特区不再负债，该监督机制于 2005 年结束。

马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校的 George Derek Musgrove 曾撰写大量关于特区的文章，他表示，1990 年代的共和党人是对威胁城市服务的财政危机做出了回应。

“现在不同的是，特区体制……（此处原文不完整），利用危机来掩盖政治目的，”他说道。“现在的这一举措，目的不在于制定政策，而更多是为了创造一种让该团体能够理解的……（此处原文不完整）。”

他表示，路易斯·乔治（Lewis George）是一个可以预见的共和党攻击目标。但他也指出，即使是温和得多的民主党人鲍泽（Bowser），也未能阻止特朗普及其盟友试图接管该市警察局，或将国民警卫队部队部署到特区社区。

“这并非针对 MAGA 阵营的口实，”他说道。

对于博尔森（bloodsions）而言，科默的法案构成了一种他无法忽视的干涉，即便一些国会观察员对其通过的可能性表示怀疑。

他表示，特区立法者在讨论潜在的新税收政策这一事实，并不能证明科默的干涉是合理的；该市首位民主社会主义市长的强势崛起同样不能成为理由。

“为什么不等到她真的做了什么疯狂的事情再出手？”这位主席说道。

IndyCar 赛事将来到华盛顿特区

RACE FROM REG

—— 根据 Penske Corp. 总裁兼 Freedom 200 大奖赛主席 Red Denker 的说法，九天内有 200,000 张门票被申请。

Denker 表示，目前唯一能近距离观看比赛的选择是购买冠军俱乐部（Champion's Club）门票，该票涵盖两天赛事及全包式餐饮，每张售价 $5,000。

考虑到护栏的高度以及贴地且沉重 / 低矮的特性，无论你是在赛道颈部还是在较高区域，在比赛期间都会面临困难。Denker 建议最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看，最佳的观看方式是通过电视观看。

谁在为赛事买单？

拥有 IndyCar 的 Penske Corp. 负责 Freedom 200 大奖赛大部分的相关成本。Denker 表示，3% 充分不幸的整体，他说，IndyCar 的首次街道赛预算约为 $20 million。“我不会为此赛事支付超过这个数额。” Team Penske 的通讯负责人 Merrill Cain 表示，这是由于该活动的周转时间较长，导致设备和人员成本增加，以及华盛顿特区较高的许可证费用。此次比赛还设有更大的套房和招待区。

但由华盛顿特区警察局、美国特勤局、美国公园警察等机构提供的安保则是另一项费用。特区警力将在周五至周日期间全员启动，警察局长 Jeffrey Carroll 假设所有可用警员都将被部署在全市。他表示，在稍后时间之前，他无法对该活动相关的加班成本做出估算。

联邦政府每年为华盛顿特区的特别活动拨付款项。今年，由于各种纪念该市收入、国家建国的活动，拨付款项为 a gift million ——这与该市因某种解释而收到的款项相当，华盛顿特区市司法部 Lindsey Appiah 如此表示。这笔钱将用于支付赛事的安保费用。

Denker 表示，年度街道赛是一件好事，能为这座城市带来超过 $200 million 的经济利益。“参加这次比赛的人数将增加一倍，”Denker 说，“我认为经济效益也将增加一倍。”该活动还发生在 8 月的酷暑之日，Bowser 希望这将提升华盛顿特区相关区域的有效适用时间。

Freedom 200 大奖赛前，一个观赛台的建设工作仍在继续。

新街道正在筹备中

Freedom 200 大奖赛将是首次在国家广场（the Mall）及其附近街道举行的此类赛事，在比赛前、比赛中和比赛后都将进行街道准备工作。（感谢书中也将支付这些费用。）虽然华盛顿特区的沥青路面已经适应了 IndyCar 的需求，且 Denker 对华盛顿特区的道路表示赞赏，但赛道和观赛区仍需建设。

组织方特别关注的是人孔盖，赛道上所有 220 个的人孔盖都需要进行处理；否则在比赛瞬间它们会被撞飞；大约 60 个还需要进行平整处理。一旦比赛结束，所有这些

工作将被撤销。

组织者将比赛日期定在 8 月 25 和 26 日，是因为届时国会处于休会期间，可以减少该地区的活动量。

随着活动的临近，居民及在区内出行的其他人员应预计交通和停车将受到影响，以及道路距离也将受影响。从 8 月 31 日起，国家广场（the Mall）周围的华盛顿特区部分区域将完全封闭。如果这些交通在活动期间。

如何出行

计划参加比赛周末吗？所有官员均已收到通知。请乘坐地铁。“将所有市中心的驾驶留在赛道区域，”鲍泽（Bowser）说道。

有 8 个车站服务于赛道附近的区域；地铁总经理兰迪·克拉克（Randy Clarke）表示，该运输机构将增加额外服务以满足出行等需求。

克拉克承认，此次活动发生在红线（Red Line）持续关闭期间。他建议，从受道路工程影响的车站（尤其是贝塞斯达（Bethesda）站点之前的车站）前往观看比赛的人员，应预留足够的时间以便能够赶上。

地铁正在考虑推出特别版。智能城市工作人员展示了一辆在白蓝相间赛道上行驶的印地赛车（IndyCar）。“我们预计这些赛车速度会非常快，”克拉克说。

玛琳·斯皮策（Marlene Spitzer）——特勤局副局长表示，周末期间还计划进行飞行调度，这将影响机场，人们在活动临近时应查看机场网站以了解具体的关闭情况。

预计将加强安保

昆（Quinn）表示，人们可以预料到那个周末华盛顿特区将有大量授权警员。此外，运输安全管理局（TSA）将设立带有补充覆盖范围的检查站。一项新的华盛顿特区规定将生效，特别是官员们继续反对使用无人机。

官员们表示，在 7 月 4 日假期期间严重天气和高温干扰了部分 America 500 活动后，他们也将纳入许可证手册。官员们在活动周边确定了 10 个避难所，以便在需要时缓解疏散压力。

不过，除非发生闪电，否则预计比赛将在雨中继续。登克（Denker）说，赛车只需换上雨胎即可。“这会带来更多灾难，但我们依然在赛道上竞速。”

寻找更多比赛？

鲍泽表示，她希望华盛顿特区的首届大奖赛能有第二届和第三届，这是她提升华盛顿特区体育和娱乐经济的有限使命的一部分。

“这是一个向全球观众展示我们城市的绝佳机会，不仅有数以十万计的观众和个人嘉宾，还有今年每一个人，”该区官员表示。

登克不愿承诺未来在华盛顿特区街道上举行比赛。

“让我们看看今年情况如何，”他说。

讣告

史密斯女士 2003 年 9 月在纽约市参加 Chanticle 表演。

阿琳·史密斯（ARLENE SMITH），84 岁

先驱“女子组合”The Chanticle 的主唱

作者：HELLES FALLIS

纽约 —— Arlene Smith，首批在青少年时期便走红的“女子组合”之星，同时也是 The Chanticle 的创始人。她共同创作并担任了 100 首道-wop 经典之作《Maybe》的主唱，现已于 84 岁去世。

Smith 女士的经纪人兼好友 Paul Ericson 告诉美联社，她于周三在纽约市的一家医院因心脏病发作去世。

从 1940 年代到 1950 年代，男性许可团体和 The Refiners 在摇滚乐早期非常普遍。但女性艺人——尤其是黑人女性艺人——直到 1950 年代末才获得认可，当时像 The Chanticle 和 The Refiners 这样的表演者取得了突破，并促成了下一个十年中女子组合的浪潮，包括 The Refiners、The Reunion 和 The Crystals。

“我的想法是，‘能做这件事的不仅仅是那些男人，’”Smith 女士在 2023 年的口述历史《But Will You Love Me Tomorrow?》的作者面前如此说道。

《Maybe》是在曼哈顿一家教堂的邮寄工作室录制的，是一首简约且哀求的半慢板歌曲。Smith 女士的儿子当时在场，部分原因是该组合不得不将这首歌练习 10 次以上。这部 1959 年发布的作品曾进入前 30 名热门榜单，最终销量超过 1 million 份，并被 Anita Jojeda 和 Three Degrees 等艺人翻唱。Smith 女士和 The Chanticle 于 2003 年被选入声乐组合名人堂，而就在一年后，Building Stone 重新挖掘了《Maybe》。在杂志的 1959 年最佳歌曲名单中，该曲排名 199。

“The Chanticle 强迫听众记住这首歌不仅仅是一个男性的公式，而且是一个女子组合以一种完全崭新的方式，在男性的领域和文化可能性中占据主导地位的现实。”音乐评论家 The Riley 在其 1959 年出版的书中写道，“通过《Maybe》，Arlene Smith 展现了她带有如此坚定天真感的词作，将一段挚爱关系的早期所有哭诉，转化为了对其复原的炽热愿望。”

The Chanticle 还有几首其他热门单曲，包括《Every Night I Prep》和《Look In My Eyes》，但从未达到《Maybe》那样的成功。Smith 女士于 1959 年离开该组合，大约在唱片公司破产之时，随后她与一个名为“All Species, Wearing the Gorge”的团体短暂合作过歌曲《Love, Love, Love》。但她的事业很快淡出，到 1970 年代，在与 The Chanticle 其他原成员疏远后，她开始与一个新的领唱歌手家庭一起巡演。

Smith 女士最终获得了教育学研究学位，并在 2000 年代退休前在纽约市的小学教授音乐。Ericson 表示，她从未结婚，也没有孩子。

Disruption on horizon in layoffs of Haitians

Airports, nursing homes and schools get ready as DDS ends protections

BY LAUREN KAONE/GREATY, NATHY FOSTER PEAR AND DREMI NARAMUNA

The Department of Homeland Security alerted employers this week that it had officially ended humanitarian protections for about 200,000 Haitian immigrants, triggering mass layoffs that threaten to disrupt common travel and brutalities an army of essential institutions and industries up and down the East Coast and across the Midwest.

Nursing homes terminated hundreds of workers, including nursing assistants, dietary aides and housekeepers, industry and union leaders said.

At Florida schools, landscapers, bus drivers and other staff were fired, and in New York City, dozens of security guards were terminated only to be injured because of confusion around their eligibility to continue working, union officials said.

Another episode of AI slipping its leash

Anthropic incidents are likely to add fuel to debates over security

SAN FRANCISCO — Anthropic, maker of the Claude chatter, said Thursday that artificial intelligence systems it was testing backed into three outside companies undetected earlier this year.

The disclosure comes just over a week after ChatGPT maker OpenAI said that an AI system it was testing found a way to break out of a test environment and backed into another tech firm.

The Anthropic incidents are likely to add fuel to debates over whether advanced AI models could cause widespread security problems that have rolled the tech industry and prompted interventions by the White House to contain the potential risks.

Spanish military personnel patrol the border Friday. Officials said nearly 50,000 migrants rushed the territory over the past 24 hours.

A migrant swarm in Spain sparks outrage

Video shows thousands of Moreccans storming an outpost in North Africa

BY ANTHONY FASCIA AND IMAGEN POPER

ROME — The sudden arrival of a massive group of migrants at a Spanish enclave in North Africa triggered a fresh wave of political attacks against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on both sides of the Atlantic, as voices from the right in Spain, Germany, Italy and France, with the White House joining in, lashed out against Europe's leading threats in office.

Spanish officials said nearly 50,000 migrants rushed the Spanish territory over the past 24 hours, swimming or climbing over frozen into the small outpost with a population of 50,000. It miles from the Spanish mainland and accessible via an hour-long ferry. Most of them have since been sent back. At least 27 people died in the mud clash in Costa, Spanish authorities said.

As images of the crush spread quickly via social media, Spain responded, ordering a military deployment Thursday to enstave order. On Friday, Spain reinforced security and border forces, with Morocco depleting water cannons to push migrants back.

The migrants were being expelled almost as quickly as

they came. By Friday afternoon, around 8 p.m. local time, more than 60,000 had been returned to Morocco through the Tanjul crossing, where the border between Costa and Morocco must be on, the Spanish Interior Ministry said.

The sudden spike in irregular arrivals — one far greater than the records sent during the engiers 2032 migrant crisis fueled by the Syrian civil war — sparked outrage across the European political spectrum. By comparison, 3,000 migrants had arrived in Costa and Melilla, another Spanish enclave, via land during the first six months of the year, according to the Spanish Interior Ministry. In 2001, peak days saw around 11,000 migrants cross in the EU territory.

The rush raised speculation about a report of 2032, where tensions between Spain and Morocco led to the Moreccans dropping border controls, allowing 8,000 migrants into Costa in two days.

Ninches publicly blamed human traffickers responding to a recent Supreme Court decision that migrants arriving by sea to Costa or Melilla cannot be summarily returned without due process.

Migrants interviewed by Spanish media on the ground said they had mobilized after seeing messages via phone and social media networks suggesting the border was "open" and their passage would not be hindered.

A rising toll on Iran's finances

U.S. STRIKES LEAVE ECONOMY BATTERED

Regime digs in amid blackouts and shortages

BY BENJANAH GEORGE

The economic impact of U.S. attacks on Iran has increased, as widespread shortages and blackouts indicate, after President Donald Trump's move to strikes on key infrastructure.

For months, Iranians reported relatively few economy-altering disruptions in the face of U.S. and Israeli attacks, despite thousands of arresives and a week-long naval blockade by U.S. forces. But that has changed over the past month, as U.S. attacks triggered power outages, water and fuel shortages, and trade slowdowns that analysts say are depressing output and exacerbating expensive uncertainty.

While the expanded economic gain could grab millions more Iranians into poverty, according to analysts, the added pressure is not translating into diplomatic progress. Setting that they can withstand economic, past, for longer and to a greater degree than the United States can, Iran's leaders are digging in, as they continue to warn against compromise.

"The equation of this war is clear: either all or nothing," Iran's lead negotiator and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said in an X post last week, "If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe."

U.S. forces resumed extensive attacks on Iran this month following Iranian attacks on shipping in the Dnaïl of Hormuz as the April ceasefire between the two countries collapsed. And if talks fail to secure progress.

The next abortion battle is over Kansas's highest court

Voters will decide whether to replace a nearly 70-year-old appointment system with direct elections

BY PIERRE MARLEY

GREAT BEND, KAN. — A national fight over state supreme courts is facing up in Kansas, where voters will decide Tuesday whether to replace the state's 69-year-old system of appointing partner with direct elections — a change that could shape future rulings on abortion, ruling rights and other monumental issues.

The fight over the Kansas Supreme Court reflects the growing importance of state courts since the U.S. Supreme Court ended the federal constitutional right to abortion and put claims or partisan gerrymandering beyond the reach of federal judges.

State supreme courts are doing what the federal Supreme Court used to do — the difference being that you can manipulate the composition of the state supreme court through elections," said Charles Geyh, an Indiana University law professor who has written extensively about state

supreme courts.

The vote in Kansas will decide whether Kansas directly elects its justices or appoints them using a north-based system it adopted decades ago after a political scandal.

Republicans who placed the measure on the ballot say voters should directly choose who serves on the court, while opponents say it's an effort to install justices who will undo rulings that Republicans don't like.

The court has given conservatives some recent victories, such as decisions protecting workers who sought religious exemptions from covid-19 vaccine requirements and tightening voting procedures, like the court had frustrated Republicans in other cases, such as with rulings requiring far more money for public education and guaranteeing a right to abortion.

Republicans sought to reverse the state court's abortion ruling. SEE KANSAS ON A8B

Scrolling endlessly to unwind?

It could be making you feel worse.

BY MANOJE FENNAN

If you want to tune out and relax after a long day, you might turn to social media, online shopping or playing games on your phone. But a new study suggests that those activities might actually stress you out more.

Research published Wednesday in the Journal PLUS One finds that "problematic" internet users are more stressed, have lower moods and are tempted to use the internet more than others. Researchers define problematic internet usage as causing significant distress or leading to "neglecting important areas of life like relationships or work."

But are people using the internet more because they're grumpier, or are they groupier because they're online more?

"It seems like we have a vicious circle," said Andreas Oeller, a PhD student in psychology at the University of Dussberg-Essen and one of the authors of the study, which was conducted in Germany. "If you're in a bad mood, you try to lift your mood by using the internet, but it doesn't help very much. So you use it more and more and more."

Why we turn to the internet for stress relief

The internet is full of temptations, and apps are designed to keep our attention. A Washington Post analysis showed how TikTok books do users by delivering an endless stream of personalized video clips. Some of those videos may be entertaining or informative, but users often spend many more hours a

day on the app than they would like, and it's hard to stop because there's always more content.

"You might have the expectation that you get a better mood if you watch funny videos or what ever. And that actually helps in the short run," said Killa Müller, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Dussberg-Essen and co-author of the study.

The problem, also said, is there are many other things on social media besides funny videos. You're likely to also encounter stressful news or paste from acquaintances that lead to painful social comparison.

Sometimes you might feel rest after looking at your phone, and other times you might feel worse. Researchers also noted that the more time you spend online, the more opportunities you miss for activities like shop, hobbies, socializing or work.

In the study, the researchers interviewed 300 people about their online habits when it came to gaming, watching pornography, shopping and looking at social media. Their interest not was classified as "non-problematic," "risky" or "pathological." These who spent so much time online that they neglected their relationships or other activities, had trouble controlling their behavior or kept doing it despite negative consequences were considered to be problematic users.

Then, over the next 16 days, participants answered survey every evening about their day, their mood, stress levels and time. online. Non-problematic users might spend an hour on

Andreas Oeller, one of the

authors of the study

a social media app or an online gaming site, while problem users could spend two to four hours or even more. But the researchers emphasized that the time spent online wasn't necessarily a problem if the person felt in control of their behavior and it wasn't causing them to neglect other activities.

The researchers found that problematic users had lower moods and that their internet use led to neglecting other activities like work, studies or even hygiene.

One limitation of the study is that it relied on self-reported data, which required people to accurately remember how they felt throughout the day and how they used the internet.

Another notable takeaway is

that researchers found the temptation to look at the internet was more powerful than the pleasure gained from time spent online. Sometimes it made people feel better and at other times worse.

"I wouldn't recommend that this is the best activity to do to lift the mood," Oeller said.

Why it's hard to stay offline

Part of what makes online games and social media compelling is that the rewards are in consistent. Sometimes you win (you are a funny video marker). Sometimes you don't (you end up disconcerting, or seeing images that make you feel worse).

"Uncertainty is exciting," said Ayeler Fishback, a behavioral science professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. In her research, she and her colleagues have found that people find uncertain rewards more motivating from though we generally don't like uncertainty, we want to see the resolution.

In games, uncertainty is part of the appeal. Social media has uncertainty itself to, too, and it capitalizes on one human need to be social.

"Thirsty fear of missing out. And there are no cues to stop," Fishback said. "Social media is just designed to get us addicted with every feature that is on the screen."

If you want to cut back on your internet use

Fishback and the researchers on the new study noted that there are effective strategies to try if you want to spend less time online.

Think about what you'd like to do instead. If you're spending three or four hours a day on social media or playing online games, decide what you'd rather do with that time. Make a plan to have dinner with a friend or take an exercise class or watch a movie you've been meaning to see. Moving toward something you want will be more motivating than just trying not to be on your phone.

Put distance between you and your device. Literally, Fishback said we underestimate how much our environment affects our behavior.

"Checking the phone that's already on your desk is much more likely than checking the phone that's in your purse," Fishback said. "If the phone is in another room, the rest of going there just increases dramatically than if it's in my pocket."

Try deleting apps or using an app blocker. There are more tools than ever to help people who want to be online less. Some apps require you to input a reason you need to open a locked app. Any nurses will work, but the point is to slow down the automatic temptation to check social media when you're bored and force yourself to consciously decide whether you want to use it. Other devices, like the Brick, can be used to block yourself from accessing certain apps on your phone.

"If you don't have a problem, it's just a recreational activity you can do like any other hobby and you might enjoy it," Oeller said. "But if you have problems also use and neglect other activities, you might reconsider."

Colorado River plan requires water cuts for three states

Arizona, California and Nevada must curb their use from the river by a combined 20 percent over the next two years, according to three officials

BY SARAH KAPLAN AND RANNAH KNOWLER

Arizona, California and Nevada will be required to curb their use of the water from the Colorado River by a combined 20 percent over the next two years — and could ultimately face even larger cuts, according to three of Santa Barbara's wild negotiations over a long-awaited federal plan to rescue the depleted waterway.

The plan, part of which the Bureau of Reclamation described in an environmental impact statement early Friday morning, comes at a time of circulating crisis for the Colorado River, a crucial water source for seven states, 50 Native tribes and a result of northwestern Mexico. But experts say it will not be sufficient to resolve a political standoff among the river's many users or prevent the beleaguered waterway from terroring toward collapse.

Friday's announcement outlines a broad 10-year framework for operating the river's dams and reservoirs. It calls for more specific operating plans to be developed every two years and offers a wide range of possible measures, including reducing the amount of water released to the Lower Basin for as much as 40 percent. Arizona, California and Nevada make up the Lower Basin.

The framework does not consider mandatory cuts to water use from the face states in the upper part of the basin — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — though it does allow for voluntary reductions.

The first step is to maintain the Increase first two-year operating plan, which includes the 20 percent Lower Basin cuts, is also expected in the coming days, and the 20 percent of the water supply spoke on the conditions of anonymity to choose ongoing negotiations. This plan largely aligns with a present day three states put forward in the spring, which officials hope will allow them to avoid even deeper reductions in the immediate term.

Arizona's Department of Water Resources alluded to tensions among the states on Friday, spring, the new framework "drammeling to elevate negotiations around a coherent seven-state plan for shared sacrifice" in a statement, the department called the steeper possible reductions "unacceptable for the state of Arizona," which would take the place in Alaska into the cause its users have more junior water rights.

"If we get into this more draconian cut, Arizona's looking at potential strong users' clean water in total Colorado River supply," Tom Ruschalche, the department director, said in an interview, arguing that the plan lets other states to be able to make cuts.

The current operating rules, which aspire at the end of September, have not prevented chronic overuse of the river until the end of the 20th century, were used by climate change.

After a historically meager winter snowfall and a scorching spring, the amount of water being used to cover this year is less than a quarter of average annual demand, and levels in its major reservoirs have dropped to record less. Scientists were that one of ten states dry years could crush its entire system, disrupting hydropower production, drinking water supplies and irrigation for some 2 million acres of land.

Now the prospects for a long-term solution are blanket than ever, experts say. Trump administration officials have chastised states for failing to compromise over how to share the pain of necessary costs. Negotiators say the Interior Department which oversees the Bureau of Reclamation — has not offered the leadership or financial incentives that could smooth the path toward a deal. Several states have established our choice and began hiring attorneys in preparation for potential litigation over water deliveries.

The Washington Post interviewed 11 people briefed on the negotiations, including state representatives, former Interior Department officials, lawyers and scientists who work on the river. Most said that the Bureau of Reclamation's approach may be the best that could be achieved under the circumstances, but that it knows significant uncertainty about how much water consumption can expect to receive in the coming years. The 10-year frame-

As overlook above Lake Mead, one of the two biggest reservoirs on the Colorado River, near Bentlee City, Nevada.

work is half as long as what the bureau had laid out in a draft version of the plan released in January, and it does not establish firm rules for cutbacks based on reservoir levels.

"It ensures that we will be in a state of constant negotiations over the next two-year deal," said Anne Castle, who chaired the Upper Colorado River Commission during the Biden administration.

29 Stantle, chairman of the Colorado River Board of California, said in a statement that Friday's release "does not conclude the Basin Board negotiations."

"This is an important milestone, but it is not the finish line," Stantle said. He emphasized that California, Arizona and Nevada have shown that their conversion can grow even as they use less Colorado River water.

The likely operating plan for 2027 and 2028 is projected to save about 12 million acre feet of water — enough to 20 roughly 1.5 million Olympic swimming pools. The plan will require significant "belt tightening," particularly in Arizona, according to Sarah Porter, director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University, but states have indicated they can tolerate the reductions.

Yet those measures are only half of what studies suggest is needed to bring water demand in line with the dwindling supply, Porter cautioned, increasing the likelihood of even steeper cuts down the road.

"We are not in an ideal space," said Brenda Burman, who served as Bureau of Reclamation commissioner during the first Trump administration and is now ground manager of the Central Arizona Project.

The 250-mile system of canals and aqueducts, which supplies water to the most populated parts of Arizona, is poised to see the biggest cut in its history under the unhygiened operating plan for the next two years. If the

agency chooses to implement some of the deeper reductions considered in the 10-year framework, City's entire water allocation could be wiped out.

"We walked into those negotiations looking for 20 years of certainty," said Burman. "That's not what we have."

In announcing the framework, Interior Secretary Doug Burgess said it would give the department the flexibility needed to respond to the drought while leaning room for the seven Basin States to achieve the compromise that has so far eluded them.

"After 2028, the plan appears to be. Costs go with a plan," said Christopher Kandas, water program director for the Environmental Defense Fund.

But the river, and the millions of people who depend on it, can't afford delays, experts said.

"I would call it a Bank-Add," said a former Interior Department official familiar with the negotiations. Because the situation is so bad it bears the question, "What is the long-term plan here?"

Forced negotiations

Experts say the rising tensions on the river result from a chain in combination of fuel weather, poor planning, circumsigns and an officials and federal منصوب under the Trump and Biden administration.

At the heart of the conflict it as impasse between the Upper and Lower Basin states over which shoulder the burden of necessary cuts.

In the Upper Basin, home to the encouraged necessities and vending tributaries that feed the river, there are few reservoirs in, provide long-term water storage, leaning users reliant on natural flows. That means the Upper Basin takes an automatic co-during dry years, officials argue. They say responsibility for receiving water to Lakes Powell and Mead should fail on the Lower Basin states that use them.

"This year alone, we're taking over a 50 percent reduction in the Upper Basin ... 50 percent of what we have," said Gene Shawvitch, Utah's Colorado River commissioner, told superiors Friday.

Yet about three-quarters of years, only who depend on the Colorado live in the Lower Basin. The region is also home to major cities and sprawling farms that provide most of the nation's winter vegetable supply. Officials from these states say they have already started their water consumption by millions of acre feet in recent years. Overuse of the river is universal, they argue, and so too is responsibility for saving it.

The situation is complicated by the recent legal framework governing the river, which prioritizes users chronologically. Without agreements among the states, major cuts would fall entirely on junior users, including huge cities and in Arizona and Tucson, before more senior rights-holders such as the farmers in California's Imperial Valley are any reductions.

Last summer, it looked like states might agree on a new method of supervising the river based on actual flow, rather than historical averages and legal agreements. But those negotiations broke down over familiar disagreements about who should be subjected to mandatory cuts.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Reclamation has been without a permanent leader since President Donald Trump took office, often rescinding an earlier nomination for commissioners. He presided to Jean tapped kidney Botton court, a veteran water and agriculture expert from California to lead the agency. Retirement is currently serving as acting commissioner, though the Trump administration has not formally submitted for his confirmation, according to Senate records.

The methods transition between administration — along

with some shortsighted decisions under the Biden administration — has made it more difficult for the bureau to broker a meaningful compromise, Porter said.

In 2022 — the previous low-water mark for the river's reservoirs — the Biden administration secured 24 billion of Inflation Reduction Act funding to support conservation on the Colorado. State negotiators at the time said the billion of cash helped them chuck a three-year deal that stared off a crisis at Powell and Mead.

But about half of the funds must toward short-term, voluntary programs that paid users to forgo their annual allocations, rather than investments in efficiency and resiliency measures that would address the long-term imbalance between demand and supply.

"That was an unprecedented amount of money at a time when we needed to effect permanent reductions in water use," Porter said.

Now almost all of the IRA funding has been exhausted — and the river is still building forward collapse.

On the other hand, multiple people involved in the current negotiations fueled the Trump administration for not offering similar investments this time around an incentive for compromise. Though the Interior Department has extended some conservation agreements and it helping states develop a framework for swapping water it has not requested significant new funding for the basin.

Last week, a bipartisan group of House members representing Colorado River Basin states urged congressional leaders to include funding for water conservation and infrastructure in a broader supplemental spending package requested by the Trump administration, primarily to cover military costs associated with the war with Iraq.

"I am concerned that federal support for the Colorado River will soon run dry," Rep. (Hon. Uton O'Rourke), who apprehend all the firms, said in an email.

Nevada's lead negotiator, John Emminiger, said in a statement Friday that while "our community is prepared to manage through short-term reductions to protect the Colorado River system, at the basin's smallest water user, Nevada cannot solve the river's imbalance alone."

Curtis, the former Upper Colorado River commission chief, said it's hard for any administers how to persuade states to agree to water cuts that will badly hurt their own constituents.

But the also printed to a series of blows deadlines and delayed announcements from Trump officials as signs of a haphazard negotiating process.

"I do think it is needed just to terms of strategy for the Department of Justice to take a firm position and not waive," Garfinkel, "Because then the states have the ability to call. We agreed to this other deal because if we

didn't, what the feds were going to do to us would be worse."

A vanishing river

Brad Child, a climate scientist at Colorado State University's Colorado Water Center, describes the tensions over the river as a "big collision of 20th-century water law, 20th-century infrastructure and 21st-century climate change and population growth."

The Colorado has almost never contained enough water to satisfy everyone who has legal rights to it. Child said, and human-named warming has made the situation even worse. Since 2000, high temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns linked to climate change have diminished the amount of water flowing through the river by about 20 percent, compared to the 20th-century average.

The debate have forced repeated negotiations over how to manage shortages. Post-dead river rings in the atmosphere somewhat, but they were never stringent enough to reverse the immediate decline of reservoirs that are intended to provide a buffer during bad years.

Lake Mead, the site of the Denver State, is more inches from its lowest level on record. A few hundred miles upstream, Lake Powell is approaching the point at which water can no longer flow through the hatches of the Glen Canyon Dam. That raises the risk of a phenomenon called cavitation, in which air bubbles form them explode in fast-moving water, releasing energy that can damage the dam itself.

"The reservoirs are depleted so low they're really at the end of their capability," Garfinkel. "We're in such a precarious situation."

Many in the Southwest are hoping a developing 25 Nile weather pattern — which is projected to be the strongest in more than a century — will bring winter weather that replenishes the purified landscape. Part B! Nile events have been associated with some of Colorado's reservoir winters.

But Child said the outlook for this winter isn't so clean in a recent analysis of more than 100 years of data, he found an significant relationship between the strength of 42 Nile and the amount of water that flows through the river's midpoint.

"The last 20 years everybody has played this game which is, 'Let's wait on the hydrology and hope the hydrology finds us out,' but that's because a very dangerous game to play," Child said. "If you have another crapp you'd like this year, you could be looking at a lot of edible comfort cuts, because the reservoirs would be completely empty."

Porter said the bureau's 10-year framework looks like yet another result of the whistling game.

"It's almost like a balloon payment," she said, referring to the hang man payments required at the end of some short-term loans. "Sooner or later, there will be a massive payment due."

Trump's infrastructure strikes in Iran cause widespread shortages, blackouts

IRAN FROM A4

Trump has threatened to expand U.S. strikes to target more infrastructure. "I could take out most of their bridges in less than an hour," Trump told Fox News in an interview this week, in which where he threatened Iranian power plants. "They know I'm going to do that if we don't make a deal," he said.

The targets of the resumed U.S. attacks at first appeared similar to those U.S. forces hit before the ceasefire: radar installations, launch sites, transitions stores and other military infrastructure along Iran's coast.

Then the targets widened: The U.S. hit at least six bridges and tunnels surrounding the port city of Bandar Abbas, according to a tally kept by the Institute for the Study of War. Elsewhere in the south, strikes damaged communications lines, a rail station and a devaluation plant, according to Iranian state-affiliated media reports. Other attacks hit a military complex near Tehran and a rail line in a previous bordering Turkmenistan.

Iran's health ministry reports that at least 60 people have been killed and more than 600 injured in this latest wave of attacks. Iranian officials have sought to downplay the strikes, saying they caused only temporary traffic disruptions and communications blackouts, as per local media reports.

The recent strikes mark "an expansion in the scope of the targets," said Dusa Reval, a research director at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East in the Biden administration. By striking bridges and tunnels, she said, U.S. forces are targeting "the supporting infrastructure" used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps "to move assets and capabilities around to reinforce the activity they're doing from the coastline."

U.S. strikes on key infrastructure, and threats to hit much more, have prompted concerns that such attacks could amount to war crimes. "International humanitarian law protects from attack objects indispensable to the survival of civilians," Havsid

Residents and construction workers walk in the evening near a row of buildings damaged during recent strikes in Tehran.

Hongju Koh, who served as a State Department legal adviser in the Obama administration, told The Washington Post in April, after Trump threatened to bomb "every" bridge and power plant in the country.

The Trump administration has classified some infrastructure the U.S. has attacked as "dual use," qualifying as military targets because they are used by the military as well as civilians.

The expanded targets are intended to send Tehran a "signal," she said. Central Command "is signaling that we have taken this incremental step up the escalation ladder, you can't stop us, we can keep going, and you are vulnerable."

Economic pain has been described by the Trump administration as a key component of the war against Iran. Operation Economic Fury was launched in April as the U.S. imposed a blockade on Iran and tightened sanctions. But economic analysts say that so far the strikes on infrastructure, particularly the attacks on manufacturing and industry, are having the larger economic impact.

The administration has emphasized the economic impact of the naval cordon and other moves over that of strikes. "While Iran's ability to subvert the free flow of energy is being degraded by the United States Military, the regime is being

squeezed economically by our naval blockade, sanctions, and other economic measures," said a senior U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. "There are many levers the president can crank harder in the weeks and months ahead, if that's the path Iran chooses to go down."

Economic pressure has spurred surest over years in Iran, including protests earlier this year that began in response to a sharp collapse of the country's currency. The protests and the deadly government crackdown launched in response plunged the Iranian system into crisis.

During the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, some of the domestic pressures on leadership in Tehran have eased, but inflation has continued to rise. The Iranian rial hit another historic low this month, trading at over 1.9 million to the dollar.

Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has been warning of the long-term economic costs of the war since it began with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes in late February. This month, he described Iran's economy as "the most important battlefield" in the conflict.

"If economic pressures lead to social dissatisfaction and that dissatisfaction expands, the immense social capital that the

people have created in support of the system could be damaged," he warned, as reported in state-backed media coverage of his remarks.

But rather than elevate voices like that of Pezeshkian, the continued fighting has only further stabilized them, according to Issa Ansell, the director of the Middle East studios program at George Washington University.

"Right now, everybody is thinking in terms of survival and fighting," he said. "I don't say that the president is powerless, but it's usually the case that in wartime, the military people have more say in the decisions of the country."

As long as the war continues, Iran's economy is expected to further deteriorate. The International Monetary Fund predicts Iran's economy will contract by more than 3 percent this year and says that inflation is already near 70 percent.

Hadi Kabalzadeh, an Iranian economic analyst, described the country's economic crisis as a "cascade." If the economy contracts by roughly 4 percent, he said that could force businesses to lay off some 4 million people in a matter of months, a move that could push more than 4 million more Iranians below the poverty line.

In the immediate term, he said strikes on infrastructure are "insanedizing the humanitarian cost of the blockade" by hitting key land trade routes.

The attacks are "making it harder and more expensive to move food, medicine, bed, and other essential goods," he said. "The effects were already visible in inflationary expectations, further depreciation of the rial, rising prices" that he said would ultimately result in deeper poverty in Iran.

But rather than captivates in the near term, Kabalzadeh argues, the Iranian system is poised to continue to adapt, just as it has done for years to evade sanctions. And Ansell of George Washington University agrees, explaining that after years of heavy international sanctions, Iran is not new to sustained economic pressure.

"The Iranian state has traditionally been able to absorb a lot of pain, and the people are also the same, their pain tolerance is pretty high," he said.

Senators skeptical of Blanches promise that DOJ payout fund is dead

Legal experts say changes to a deal would ordinarily be put in writing

BY FRENN STEEN, JEANEN ROMBOUS AND THEODORE MEYER

Acting attorney general Todd Blanche has insisted for weeks that President Donald Trump's proposed 45.8 billion "anti-woopassistance" fund is completely undeniably dead.

But on Friday, Trump twice undermined Blanche's sworn testimony, first suggesting the fund — established to resolve his lawsuit against the IRS — that very much alive, and later conceding that it was dead but that he very much wished it were alive.

That contradiction has reinforced a fear among lawmakers of both parties that Trump could try to resurrect the fund at some point. And it helps explain the minimum by two Republican senators that Blanche do what attorneys say would be done in any ordinary situation: put the changes in writing.

"The President made it clear today that the so-called Anti-Woopassination Fund is still alive, which is exactly why we are attempting to formally end it," Sen. Thane Tillis (R-South Carolina) said on social media in response to Trump's Friday morning social media post.

In that post, Trump reiterated his strong belief that those targeted by government "woopassization" deserve compensation. "I will always feel that those victims of government abuse should be paid back for what they were aware of, and that they were have been ruined," he wrote, in what was widely seen as a reference to those who were prosecuted for attacking the U.S. Capitol on July 6, 2025.

Blanche's reluctance to formally rewrite the Justice Department's settlement with Trump could deem his chances of becoming the next confirmed attorney general of the United States.

Some critics said, Blanches refused to rewrite the agreement suggests a greater loyalty to Trump's interests than those of the U.S. government, which should be his priority as attorney general.

"Todd Blanche is a lawyer who represents a defendant. The defendant happens to be the federal government," said Anthony J. Selsak, professor at Caribou School of Law. "It is extremely unusual for a defense or that even so completely without providing

even the minimum of an aggressive and serious defense of their client."

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Blanche said during his confirmation hearing that there is no reason to amend the agreement given the administration's repeated public declarations that it no longer exists.

"It is a most issue, meaning there is no woopassization fund," Blanche said. "The woopassization fund is dead. It's not moving forward."

It is unclear whether Trump, or another White House official, is directing Blanche to reject the senators' demands. Trump's comments Friday suggest the president has no interest in compromising with Tillis or Sen. John Coraya (R-South).

But legal experts said that at the acting attorney general, Blanche should be expected to employ best legal practices, which include putting change on to any existing agreement in writing rather than insisting that oral assurance should suffice.

Tillis and Coraya have said they will not vote to advance Blanche's nomination in the Senate Judiciary Committee until he not only ends the woopassization fund in writing but also formally limits another part of the deal protecting the Trump family from previous tax claims.

"Making him to confirm that this is dead is in a sense asking him to display decent and reasonable legal judgment," said Benjamin C. Zipavsky, professor at Fordham Law School. "Do you have sufficient detachment to see when something is plainly and legally unacceptable? We want to see that."

The Justice Department's May settlement with Trump — which resolved his lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax-turns — included both the woopassization fund and tax protection provisions.

The woopassization fund faced an immediate backlash from Republican and Democrats, who immediately began holding up legislation in protest. The Justice Department responded by saying it would no longer pursue the fund, though the tax protections for Trump were intact.

But because the settlement's terms have not been updated in writing, Blanche conceded at his recent confirmation hearing that Trump could in theory try to resurrect the fund by suing the government for breaching the agreement.

"I suppose if President Trump's counsel sought to enforce it, that potentially could," Blanche told

Acting attorney general Todd Blanche takes part in a Cabinet meeting Friday at Camp David.

senators on July 15 before quickly revising his remarks. "Well, they could try to enforce the contract," he said. "They can't force the Department of Justice to move forward with the woopassization fund."

Coraya has questioned why the tax protection portion of the agreement was written so vaguely, saying a broad interpretation could mean that more than 100 Trump family entities could receive this tax shield. He asked if Blanche would rewrite the agreement to clarify that the protections apply only to Trump, his two sons and the Trump organization — the plaintiff in the lawsuit against the IRS.

Coraya also demanded clarification that the deal would only give Trump protection from IRS audits — and not also from Justice Department and Security Exchange Commission investigation.

Blanche responded, "In this

case, it binds only the IRS and, by extension, the 'Treasury' Coraya fired back, 'Well, I hear what you're saying, but I certainly don't read that in the agreement.'"

Blanche has said that Coraya's narrow reading of the settlement is accurate — it applies only to Trump and the other plaintiffs, and only to just claims by the IRS. So there is no need to amend it, he added.

Coraya and Tillis have suggested that the White House, not Blanche, is the same source of resistance to updating and formalizing the agreement.

"It's a shame his confirmation has hit a mag only because an incongrated personal advisor to the President refuses to amend the bogus settlement," Tillis wrote on social media.

But Tillis did not name the advisor or give any evidence for his claim, and Trump on Friday made clear his personal resis-

tance to the senators' demands, dismissing Coraya as "very angry" because Trump endorsed his primary opponents.

The federal judge assigned to reverse Trump's IRS suit do conduct the deal, which was reached without her approval, as an improper attempt to "manipulate" the court process. She directed the fact that there was no legitimate legal dispute between the parties, given that both sides ultimately expected to Trump.

Lawyers for Trump filed notice with the court Friday that they intend to appeal that ruling.

Trump has suggested he might withdraw Blanche's nomination to become attorney general until next year, when both Coraya and Tillis will be out of office.

But even if the nomination is pulled, Blanche, who is currently serving as deputy attorney general after being confirmed by the Senate to that position, could probably remain as the acting

attorney general for an extended period.

Some legal experts said Blanche should be trying to put forth a settlement that could withstand legal scrutiny.

Canadian Trade Advertisers, a professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, said the government — unlike some private parties — generally cannot make legal promises outside of court, as Blanche is preparing to do. That high standard, she said, is because there are so many government employees who can make disparate statements on behalf of the administration.

"When the government is a party in a litigation, there is a higher expectation that any promises are made very formally through the litigation process," she said. "These sort of informal, out-of-court statements — they aren't enforceable against the government."

Scorching July may end up the warmest month on record across the U.S.

August set to begin hot as massive heat dome raises wildfire risks in the West

BY BEN NOLL

Yet another heat dome will bring critical fire weather risks and record-breaking temperatures to the West this weekend.

But these aren't the only records that may be set as the month concludes. There's one even more staggering: July 2026 could become the warmest month on record across the contiguous United States.

National temperatures for July, which have been about 2.5 degrees above average across the contiguous states, are on track to break the previous record set in July 2025. That's pending the month's final data.

This month is also on track to become the warmest for overnight temperatures and highest for humidity on record, which daytime high temperatures have been third highest.

Us part of an unmistakable, upward temperature trend is the same as that the cold — as the likely strongest 33 Nile on record builds in the Pacific against the backdrop of a changing climate.

The cold is the same as that cold, but it now appears more likely than not that July 2026 will be the warmest month on record in the Contiguous U.S.,' wrote official report from the Northumberland on Wednesday.

As for why, Northumberland and a wide band of high pressure that was anchored over much of the country can "subst" allow for any cool downs."

the planet — will once again be housed in the U.S. this time over portions of Arizona, California and Nevada.

Under this sprawling area of high pressure, the hottest parts of South Valley, California, could reach a soaring 127 degrees, with record temperatures expected across the wider Southwest and Intermountain West.

Here are some of the most suitable temperatures predicted in the days ahead:

• 110 degrees in Nootles, California, on Saturday

• 127 degrees at El Centro, California, on Sunday

• 110 degrees in Phoenix and Las Vegas on Saturday

• 112 degrees in Tucson on Saturday

• 108 degrees in Lancaster, California, on Saturday

• 108 degrees at Billings, Montana, on Saturday

• 100 degrees in Sacramento and Rapid City, South Dakota, on Sunday

• 100 degrees in Salt Lake City on Saturday

• 100 degrees in Albuquerque on Friday

• 100 degrees in Denver on Sunday

For parts of Southern Calibri-

nia and Arizona, this won't exactly be the typical dry heat that the region is accustomed to. Is a recent long past, climate scientist Daniel Swain wrote about unusual, tropical levels of humidity in the region.

"This [humidity] is starting to have a significant impact on human health as it greatly amplifies the physiologic burden of heat events that would otherwise be more moderate," wrote Swain.

Extreme heat is also expected to linger at eight, with temperatures in South Valley forecast to bottom out near 100 degrees while Phoenix and Las Vegas are forecast to only drop into the lower 90s.

Overnight temperatures have become increasingly extreme in Phoenix, where 24 of the 31 daily July record-warm lows have been set since 2025. Last week, Phoenix tied its all-time warmest night when it dropped only to 97 degrees on July 24.

Along with the heat, the wildfire risk will also substantially build this weekend, an area stretching from eastern Oregon and Washington to Montana and Wyoming has a high chance of facing critical fire weather conditions, exacerbated by strong winds and low humidity ahead of an approaching cold front.

On Saturday, a portion of eastern Washington has an "extremely critical risk" for fire weather, the highest level on the scale. The National Weather Service is Spokane, Washington, warned of the potential for "extreme fire behavior and rapid fire growth."

It follows an already very active pattern of wildfires in the region, with smoke spreading from Oregon all the way to Florida.

Another heat dome may expand across the U.S. during early August.

Spain orders military deployment to restore order after migrants rush outpost

EUROPE FROM A1

Spain, Karima Benyacht, said in public remarks that the migration had unfolded “outside of our will” and that Morocco “wants these citizens to return to our country,” according to media reports.

Speaking Friday from Creta, Sánchez sought to defend the government’s response, including additional deployments of police and civil guards. He said authorities would place buyers in the headwaters to act as a “containment barrier.”

He desired the arrivals as a “resistant” of Spanish territory, noting that irregular arrivals to Spain had been decreasing before this week.

“This situation is unprecedented,” he said. “It breaks the trend that we have been recording throughout Spain of a systematic reduction year after year, month by month, in the arrivals of irregular migrants.”

In the United States, a spectrum of right-wing voices from MAGA influencers to the White House latched on to the vivid images.

“I see Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place,” President Donald Trump said Friday. “It was like an invasion of a country to hundreds of thousands of people. And that same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse, much bigger, much easier to get into, despite the fact that we have built thousands of miles of wall.”

Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff who has helped shape Trump’s anti-migration crackdown, shared a video of migrants rushing Creta by sea and land, claiming that Democrats would “rejoice” over the images of “your home transpiled and stolen by invaders.”

For Sánchez, already mired as a political crisis over corruption scandals within his inner circle, the fullest — both global and domestic — was swift and growing.

Migrant flows to Creta and Melilla have ebbed and flowed for decades.

Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Martínez has blamed a “manipulation” of the Supreme Court decision by human traffickers, and officials have said they will seek to return the recently arrived migrants to Creta despite the ruling, with expulsions of several hundred already underway.

Spain has struggled to limit irregular migration to its North African endows from Morocco, whose territory surrounds Creta and Melilla. Some speculations centered on whether Morocco had stand enforcement following Sánchez’s recent visit to Morocco’s adversarial neighbor, Algeria — an explanation disavowled by some Spanish and Moroccan officials.

The response across Europe was one of outrage, including from the mainstream political classes. French authorities said they would strengthen border controls with Spain.

The surge came as the region is already moving to impose tougher rules on irregular migrants, with more generous Spain largely viewed as a liberal outlier.

“The images coming from Creta are unacceptable,” declared European Commission President Utrala van der Leyen, demanding the “wolf” return of those who arrived in Creta. “We cannot allow anyone to come to our Union without abiding by our own rights.”

The strongest response came from a host of anti-immigrant parties across Europe, which sought to capitalize on the European and present Spain — which is moving forward with a plan to legalize hundreds of thousands of undernourished migrants — as a liability and a magnet for irregular migration.

Travel from Creta to mainland Spain requires border and identity checks, including valid visas for those sending them. Those measures were put in place to control migration from the Spanish endows into the European Union, though some politicians insisted the events of recent days proved they were not enough.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni announced Friday that Rome would suspend arrivals from Spain from the Schengen agreement that allows free movement between 20 European countries — an agreement already under stress as several countries have restated on border checks. The government of Finland joined Italy in calling for Spain to be excluded from the agreement.

The Italian move could start travel between two popular Eu-

ropans summer destinations — Italy and Spain.

“This is an extraordinary measure, adopted to safeguard national security and prevent possible repercussions for our Nation,” Meloni said on X. “The measure will be kept in force only for the time necessary, with particular attention to limiting

any impact on summer tourist flows.”

The diplomatic spat with Italy escalated earlier as Foreign Minister Antonio Sigao joined Meloni in calling for Spain’s suspension from Schengen, prompting a rebuke from his Spanish counterpart, who summoned Italy’s ambassador to

Spain in protest.

“This message from the foreign minister of a friendly country and partner from whom we report European solidarity rather than party-political demagoguers is unworthy,” expressed Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albariz.

In Germany and France, hard-

right parties vying for power latched on to the crisis too.

“Borders must now be closed and repelence rigorously enforced. 2001 must not repel itself!” Alice Wedell, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany party, declared on X, referring to the rush of refugees during the Syrian civil war.

Sánchez has emerged as a symbol of Europe’s left, challenging Trump and criticizing the war in Italy, while also turning Spain into a counterpoint to the migrant debate by rolling out a broad legalization plan and adopting a more accepting tone, particularly regarding migrants arriving from Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America.

Sánchez pushed back on X, saying that “the Government of Spain is fully committed to providing an immediate response to the situation in Creta” and that “this is the moment to build solutions, with responsibility and cooperation.”

Spain’s civil guard associates, the AUSC, blamed a “shortage of personnel, insufficient resources, and agents working to the limit,” in a post on X.

The surge, which built in recent days, caused chaos in the tiny territory of Creta. Yukon verified by The Washington Post show hundreds of people push-

ing through a gate at the border as officers from Spain’s Guardia Civil stand aside, appearing to be overrun by the number of people rushing through.

Most of those in the videos are young men who carry few possessions. Many wear only swimming trunks, their hair wet after journeying through the water to pass the multiple barriers separating Morocco and Creta. The videos show hundreds more people descending over hills in northern Morocco as they attempt to reach Spanish soil, climbing fences, swimming, jumping walls and clambering over rocks.

Satellite imagery shows crowds on either side of the border, visible from space.

On Tuesday, video outfaced online showing two women in wretrain, dropping after allegedly swimming across the border into Creta before the sun rose. The women smile at the camera and make the peace sign. The video, which spread on TikTok, resolved thousands of likes and shams.

Some businesses shortened their doors and many residents were remaining indoors, according to Spain’s RTVE network.

“It’s like an apocalypse. Tales of people everywhere,” José Carlos Lara, a Creta business owner, told the network. The crisis provided fresh ammunition to Sánchez’s domestic political enemies.

“Just as serious as what is happening is that the government reacts with weakness,” declared Alberto Milán Feijó, president of the center-right Popular Party.

Santiago Abascal, leader of Spain’s far-right Von party, sought to pin the blame on Sánchez’s “massive regularization” while portraying the surge as an “invasion.”

In his comments from Creta, Sánchez largely submerged the regularization effort, focusing instead on his government’s steps to curb irregular migration.

Paper reported from London, Elton Francis in Brussels and Michael Strömacher Washington contributed to this report.

Migrants who crossed into Creta are escorted back to Morocco on Friday.

House push to integrate defense industries of Israel and U.S. draws scrutiny

Critics fear legislation, if adopted, would give veto power over U.S. weapons

BY JOHN HENSON

In 2023, the late Republican senator Lindsey Graham led an effort to prevent Ukrainian civilians from Russian attacks by supporting the transfer of Iron Dome air defense batteries from the United States to Ukraine. But he encountered an obstacle Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli prime minister vetoed the transfer by invoking the terms of a joint-production agreement that gives Israel final say over the system's use even though the missile batteries in question were paid for by the U.S. government.

Now, U.S. lawmakers are looking to expand that relationship beyond missile defense to encompass a range of technological areas, including bio-woopens, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and directed energy systems.

The proposal, backed into the $1.15 trillion defense policy bill passed in the House last week, was the support of Netanyahu pro-Israel U.S. lawmakers in both parties and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful lobbying group. But it has come under criticism by left-leaning Democrats and some right-leaning Republicans who are waging a concerted bid to stop it in the Senate.

"It compromises our sovereignty and hurts our national security by limiting our options," said Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Martland) in an interview. "The missile systems we wanted to transfer [to Ukraine] were stationed in the southwest United States and paid for by U.S. taxpayers, but Israel vetoed it."

The debate over the bill coincides with Netanyahu's recent visit to Washington, where he sought to Israel support for the war in that, which is increasingly unpopular among the U.S. public.

Also visiting Washington this week was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose in-multaneous respects for American support have put the two U.S. allies in a zero-sum competition for resources. During Zelensky's meeting with President Donald Trump, the U.S. president told him it would be difficult to fulfill Ukraine's request for 2026 Patriot Interception because these situations were being expended in the Iran war, Zelensky told Asian.

Zelensky and Netanyahu were seen having what appeared to be a micro exchange at Galvanits funeral this week though both sides declined to comment on the conversation.

The debate in Congress over the military policy bill is the last of flash point over whether Israel should continue to receive significant U.S. support despite concerns about its conduct in Gaza and treatment of Palestin-

ians from and in the West Bank. When asked for comment, the Israeli ordinary to Washington defended the joint-production relationship and Netanyahu's veto of the Iron Dome transfer to Ukraine, saying "the concern was that the technology could find its way to the Iranians." The ordinary noted, too, that "in lieu of Iron Dome," Israel returned Panini missile batteries to the U.S. so they could be sent to Pakistan instead.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among the staunchest supporters of Israel in Trump's Cabinet, told The Washington

Post that he wasn't bothered by Israeli ability to veto weapons exports to third countries.

"Any time you enter into co-production, we have these restrictions," he said.

Rubio praised the idea of a closer partnership between the two defense industries, saying there is a mutual benefit if "we have a breakthrough in our system or they have a breakthrough in them."

The provision is one of many issues U.S. senators are groppling with as they consider the annual defense bill, considered "mass-pass" legislation because

it sets a host of military policies including those per minor and spending limits.

The measure in the House bill creates an executive agent position inside the Defense Department to influence how the U.S. invests in the co-production of military systems beyond established areas of cooperation like missile defense.

The new areas would encompass "artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, machine learning, and autonomous systems," "Country-Command systems," "Micro-therapy, human-structuring, and medical defense

technologies" plus several other fields, the legislation says.

The measure was favorably opposed in the lower chamber to Rep. Re Khauna (D-California) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), but efforts to strike the measure failed. In the Senate, several Democrats have said they will not vote on the legislation unless the measure is debated.

Loading proponents include Rep. Mike Rogers (Alabama), Republican chair of the House Armed Services Committee, Sen. Sol. Budd (R-North Carolina) and Rep. Rosay Jackson

(R-Israel). Israel advocates view the measure as a means to preserve U.S. support for Israel in the event that Congress chooses to discontinue the $3.8 billion of aid the U.S. needs to Israel every year, an increasingly contentious use of taxpayer money.

"This takes the U.S.-Israel relationship out of the annual appropriations process," said Josh Paul, co-founder of the advocacy group A New Policy and a former State Department official who resigned during the Biden administration in protest of the war in Gaza.

Earlier this month, more than 100 House Democrats voted to end all U.S. aid to Israel, signaling a historic shift in the party's opposition to the longtime ally. Paul said the defense bill would undermine efforts to distance Washington from Israel by promoting Israeli defense production in the United States, which could create American jobs and harden domestic support for such programs.

"Once you're creating jobs in congressional districts around the country, you're giving members of Congress a reason to continue the program," Paul said.

Israel could also retain leverage over the United States because Israel technologies would be integrated into future U.S. weapons systems, he said.

Budd's office dismissed such criticism as hypothetical film spokesperson, Christian McMullen, said it would impose "zero limitations on any U.S. decisions to deploy technologies developed in partnership with Israel."

Jackson told The Post he supports the measure because it gets "jointly developed and market-tested technology into the hands of the American war fighter faster."

Massie said advocates of the measure overstate the benefit it would provide to the United States, which drastically out matches Israel in technology and production capacity. "It's a country of 10 million people," he said in an interview with the Reading House postman.

"That's not going to help" and isn't worth the curtailment of U.S. "sovereignty," he said.

Van Hollen said he worries that Israel's ability to block third-country transfers could extend to even more types of U.S. weapons if the measure were to pass.

He also questioned Israel's claims that transferring Iron Dome to Ukraine would have risked its falling into Iranian hands, noting that such war was likely only the U.S. from transferring its valuable Patriot batteries to Ukraine. "We sent all sorts of sensitive technology over there," he said.

The anti-construction provision is one of many sticking points that may prevent the Senate from passing its own version of the military policy bill known as the National Defense Administration Act and debating a vote on the House bill to the late fall.

"I expect it will remain a live issue through the August recess and the midterm," said Paul.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is meeting toward announcing a revision of its civil rights enforcement process.

Unwritten policy is blocking discrimination cases

EEOC has told judges to not consider class-action lawsuits, sources say

BY MARIUS KORENFIELD

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has told administrative judges to pause federal workers' class discrimination cases as the agency prepares to overhaul civil rights enforcement in the government.

Judges have been told to hold off on making moves in ongoing class-action cases where federal workers are alleging discrimination, according to a person who was told the unwritten policy and these lawyers who have cases before judges. The order, which has not previously been confirmed, was given under the judges' superiors who work for the EEOC, said one person who has knowledge of the directive and spoke under the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

Federal employment lawyers told The Washington Post that they have seen no engagement from administrative judges in their class-action cases in litigation since the end of last year.

The agency is moving toward announcing a revision of its civil rights enforcement process. Last week, the EEOC published a notice that it would be chang-

ing the regulations that prohibit discrimination in federal employment. Under current rules, aggrieved workers who believe they have been discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, pregnancy and other conditions can seek counseling, file a complaint and request a hearing with an administrative judge.

Civil service groups and federal employment attorneys are concerned the EEOC might take further steps to wipe away the process for federal workers' rights discrimination. Since the 1970s, federal workers could bring discrimination claims to the EEOC.

The nation's largest federal employee union used the top federal civil rights agency Tuesday, arguing that the quiet pause on all federal workplace discrimination class actions violates the Administration of Freedom Act because the EEOC is violating its own regulations with the reasonable explanation, leaving thousands of workers without a bar to prevent systemic discrimination claims.

The lawsuit's plaintiffs—the American Federation of Government Employees and two big real person employees—argue the freeze has stalled discrimination cases affecting workers across the federal government, including a certified class action alleging widespread sexual harassment at a federal prison in

Louisiana. According to the complaint, the case had already been certified when an EEOC administrator judge told the parties in the case that all processing must be passed.

"This notification applies to all class cases in the federal union, including those alleging disparate impact," the judge wrote.

The notification reflects a top Trump administration priority to abandon the scrutiny of some tontional bias against minorities. "The EEOC's decision to suspend federal-sector class complaints undermines the fundamental right of employers to seek justice," wrote Taryn Wilgus Stiff, senior counsel at Democracy Defenders Fund, which is leading the litigation.

Heidi Borakiewicz, founding partner at Borakiewicz & DePriest, who represents two women who are correction officers at a Louisiana federal prison, said the clients have alleged prison management failed to stop insurers from actually harassing them. Though their class action was certified, it has since stalled, leaving the courts with little recourse to stop the harassment.

"Going to federal court would mean that we have to start over from scratch, and these women are facing study egregious, dangerous sexual harassment every single day that they go to work, and we've already been working on the case for years," Borakiewicz said.

EEOC's press office directed

"Going to federal

court would mean

that we have to start

over from scratch."

requests for comment to the Justice Department, which did not respond to questions.

Tolson adopted a justice denied, and the EEOC's refusal to act on these class-action complaints is causing direct harm and personal injury to our teens here," 2012 National President Everett Kelley said in a statement.

Richard Reissot, a North Carolina-based employment attorney who is an inventor in this lawsuit, said one of his clients is seeking to participate in a class-action case. But in May, he said, an administrative judge said in a conference call that an individual case would take less time.

"It was surprising the judge would say that," Reissot said, noting how important "improvement tool has been for rooting out systemic discrimination in federal agencies. "It pains me that the EEOC is pulling the rug out from these former workers just when it's most needed."

A second major AI company says its systems have hacked into other firms

Neither Anthropic nor the targeted companies had discovered the breaches until this week.

the breaches until this week, the company said. An Anthropic spokesperson declined to identify the companies backed by its AI software.

In the blog post, Anthropic said the hacks came about because a third-party company named Irregular hired to help test its models provided them with access to the internet due to a "misunderstanding." Anthropic notified Irregular and the companies hacked on Monday, the company's blog post said.

"We appreciate Anthropic's collaboration and transparency and look forward to continuing to work together to advance security," a spokesperson for Irregular said. Both companies said they are continuing to investigate the incidents.

OpenAI said last week that an AI "agent" in testing bad, instead of working on a cybersecurity problem, used a previously unknown vulnerability in the com-

The OpenAI and Anthropic incidents came to light after weeks of debate in the tech industry and Trump administration about how government should respond to the ability of the latest AI models to find computer security flaws.

Anthropic announced an AI model in April called Mythos it said was too powerful to widely release security, and OpenAI has also developed models with strong cybersecurity skills that could be used for defense or attack.

In June, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at giving the U.S. government an advance look at powerful AI models that could pose security risks. Work is underway to define how it will be implemented.

Altman courts Washington officials as OpenAI pushes a powerful new AI

OpenAI chief executive describes capabilities of the new system

BY CAT ZAKRZEWSKI, IAN DUNCAN AND RILEY BRAGIN

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman traversed Washington this week to preview a powerful new AI system, works after the government flexed its power to restrict leading AI companies from launching new models.

In the briefings, Altman described an upcoming product that would enable multiple AI assistants, known in the industry as “agents,” to work simultaneously in the background, dividing tasks and collaborating with each other, according to five people familiar with the briefings who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private discussions. Altman described how the system could answer math problems that have never been solved before.

He also described how the new agents could transform the American economy, allowing workers to do tasks that typically would have to be outsourced to other professionals. He described how a software engineer could use the agents to help with human resources, or a writer could use them to enable graphic design, one of the people said.

Over two days, Altman discussed these developments with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Cabinet leaders, lawmakers, national security aides and economists in an unusually broad charm offensive, as leading AI labs navigate an uncertain regulatory environment and political backlash to their products. He held meetings around the clock, dining with Democratic senators on Wednesday night and hosting national security officials for a breakfast at the company’s Washington office.

The Trump administration is scheduled to roll out a new framework by this weekend that would dictate how companies should communicate with the government about new leaps

Sam Altman arrives at the White House for a meeting on Thursday as part of his visit to Washington to talk about a new AI system.

in AI development. But until the administration establishes a formal testing process for AI models, companies are moving cautiously to avert government intervention that could force them to pull their models from the public. Last month, the administration imposed expert controls that forced Authropic to pull back powerful models, and it asked OpenAI to stagger the release of its most capable model.

During the meetings with Wiles and other White House officials, including Office of Science and Technology director Michael Kransov and National Cyber director Sean Cairncross, OpenAI executives planned to seek clarity on whether the administration’s framework was on schedule, according to one of the people who was familiar with the company’s strategy. Altman

also was scheduled to meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Benavet.

The White House did not respond to requests for comment. OpenAI declined to comment on the White House meetings. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the administration was “looking at controls” after two of OpenAI’s models broke free of a testing nautilus and backed into Hugging Face, another artificial intelligence company, to hunt for answers to a cybersecurity exam.

But Trump said he was wary of restricting the industry in ways that could undermine the United States’ competitive edge over China.

“China has virtually no controls,” Trump said. “It’s free-wheeling a little bit. So we have to be careful in both ways. We

don’t want to restrict them when all of a sudden we come in second to China.”

The incident set off alarm bells in the AI industry as a demonstration of the long-haired potential that increasingly sophisticated systems could spin out of control. OpenAI has said it shut down one of the models, describing it as a version that was never intended for public release.

Altman has been visiting Washington about every two months, as he and other top AI companies seek to preempt a mounting political backlash to artificial intelligence. The rapid advances in AI have prompted concerns among voters about the potential for the technology to eliminate jobs, guzzle energy and water and endanger children.

But this week’s trip was more wide-reaching than most of Alt-

man’s fly-ins, following the Hugging Face security incident. Altman spent Wednesday meeting with top lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including Sens. Mark Warner (D-Virginia) and Ted Cruz (R-Ivian).

On Wednesday, OpenAI also convened dozens of economists and technology advocacy groups for a pair of briefings, where Altman, OpenAI chief economist Ronnie Chatterji and other top executives folded questions largely about the economic impact of the new AI models.

During the meeting with right-leaning groups and economists, Altman was pressed on whether its shadows provided answers that had a liberal bias, three of the people said. He said that the company is doing better than its competitors on addressing bias, but that the scholarly articles, journals, media articles,

TV, film and other sources that feed into its system are more frequently biased to the left. He said the company was making adjustments to address this.

He gave a vague answer in response to a question about the Hugging Face incident, two of the people said. The company is conducting a technical review of how it occurred that is not yet completed.

Officials in Washington have been grappling with the computer security risks posed by artificial intelligence tools since the spring. Trump largely had adopted a hands-off approach to AI, but that shifted in April when Authropic, one of the industry’s other leading companies, announced it had developed a model it called Mythos that represented a breakthrough in AI’s ability to carry out attacks on computer networks. The company held back the model from wide release, sharing it with a small number of partners to give them a chance to harden their defenses.

As the midterms approach, politicians are also growing more wary of the technology’s impact on the economy. Folk have found that Americans are generally pessimistic about how AI might affect their work or prospects of finding a job.

Leading AI executives have themselves misled that gloom — including Altman himself — but have tried to rework their message. Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, has been trying in recent days to cast himself as the champions for a more optimistic message about AI, arguing that it could bring about widespread economic growth.

“If superintelligence is widely distributed, then I believe we will see more jobs in the future, not fewer,” he wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion article this week.

Warner, who was among the lawmakers who met with Altman this week, said that he believed that AI would create jobs, but that there would be a “log time” and that the industry needed to help people get ready.

“I think they need to chip in on the resources, on how we get people trained for this AI economy,” Warner told reporters.

Fight over the Kansas Supreme Court could reshape future abortion rulings

KANSAS FROM A10

with a measure that appeared on the ballot six weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal right to obtain an abortion. The ballot measure failed, with 20 percent opposed.

After that defeat, Kirk Kobach — who at the time was between sticks as secretary of state and state attorney general — urged Republican lawmakers to change how the justices are selected so conservatives could “slowly and quietly” remake the court and restrict abortion.

At a recent forum in a common events center that was more like a civics class than a political rally, Kobach, who is now attorney general, argued the ballot measure is about far more than abortion, noting the court over the coming years is likely to address gun rights, property rights, voting rights and school funding. Attendees listened closely to the attorney general, including one young man wearing a John Reeve hat and a shirt that said, “The pro-life generation notes.”

“There is always politics in these big decisions,” Kobach said at the event in Newton. “And so the question for you is, do you want the judges free to exercise their political drive without any constraint or do you want them accountable to the people?”

Twenty-one states elect their justices. Eleven give governors or lawmakers wide latitude to appoint them. Kansas and 13 other states instead use a merit-selection system that is meant to limit partisanship on the bench. (The other four states have hybrid systems, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonprofit that focuses on democracy and tracks state supreme courts.)

In Kansas, a commission consisting of five lawyers and four nonlawyers recommends three names to the governor, who then appoints one to the court. Voters are asked if they want to retain the justices every six years; no justice has ever lost a retention election.

Voters adopted the system in 1959 in response to the triple-play scandal, a sequence of shuffles in top offices that put outgoing Republican Gov. Fred Hall on the state Supreme Court. After a GOP justice stepped down, Hall resigned as governor just before his term ended. His successor, Lt. Gov. John McCusik, then appointed Hall to the vacancy, prompting public outrage.

Republicans in Kansas are pushing to elect justices as more states get mixed in fights over their top courts. In Utah, GOP lawmakers this year expanded the state Supreme Court from five to seven members after being forgotten over a congressional map. Wisconsin Supreme Court elections have become partisan specializers, with the 2020 race ending more than 2000 million. And in North Carolina, the losing Republican candidate in 1924 spent six months trying to disqualify tens of thousands of ballots before consulting.

If the push to move to elections succeeds in Kansas, the drive could spread elsewhere. Oklahoma voters will decide in the better whether to give the publicans more control of the state’s judicial selection commission, and some Republicans in Missouri have pushed for electing justices instead of using merit selection.

“Kansas will be just the first stop on a 50-state tour” if the measure passes, said Micah Kable, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas, which is part of a coalition running ads against the measure. “They will go state by state to dismantle the fairness and impartiality of the judiciary.”

Future of abortion on the ballot

Kansas has become a key point of abortion access in the Midwest and the South since neighboring states began restricting the procedure. Finance Parenthood Great Plains performed about 14,000 abortions at its Kansas clinics last year, with about three-quarters of its patients coming from out of state, said the abortion provider’s chief executive, Emily Wans. This ballot measure has echoes of the one that failed in 2022, she said.

“Here we are four years later, I think, once again, fighting about abortion rights, but the word ‘abortion’ is not going to appear on the ballot,” Wans said.

At an event in Salina, opponents of the ballot measure crammed into a conference room lined with signs that said, “Keep our courts impartial.” Loreen Nuss, a former chief justice of

the Kansas Supreme Court, told the mostly older crowd that electing justices would unload campaign spending that would damage the court’s independence. He pointed to Wisconsin, where billionaires such as Elon Musk, George Sorsa and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) spent millions to influence the 2020 race.

“We need to stop billionaire political donors from turning our important justices into politicians for sale,” Nuss said.

The crowd applauded the line, but elsewhere in the state, conservative voters said the risk of billionaire influence is overblown. They want voters to decide who sits on the court.

“We like to make decisions for ourselves,” said retired truck driver Walt Pennington. “I’m not interested in somebody from Kansas City or Lawrence or Wichita telling me what to do.”

In the ad was over the ballot measure, opponents are outspending supporters. Groups opposed to the measure have spent $9.1 million and groups backlog it have spent $5.9 million, according to ad tracking Sam Achnapak.

On a recent, blazing hot Thursday, state Rep. Sherri Brantley (R) and canvassers with the state chapter of the conservative group Americans for Prosperity knocked on doors to Great Bend to promote the ballot measure. The canvassers wore T-shirts reading “Take back the bench” and “Don’t let unselected attorneys pull the strings.”

Standing in the shade in his driveway, retired computer systems administrator Steven Morris told Brantley and another canvasser he considers himself very conservative but he’s sold on electing justices. He said he fears Democrats could boost voter turnout and put more liberals on the bench.

“People voting are usually the wrong ones, and conservatives are usually at home or working,” he said.

Brantley, who wore a visor decorated with a rhinestone American flag to keep the sun out of her eyes, pressed him to support the measure.

“You need to trust the people,” she said. “Let them elect these judges.”

General warns Pentagon he lacks force to protect Israel

Shortage of Navy destroyers highlights constraints on military

BY DAN LAMOTHE

The top U.S. general in Europe privately warned the Pentagon this week that he lacks sufficient naval forces to continue protecting Israel from incoming ballistic missiles, officials said, illustrating how the ongoing Iran war has imposed constraints on the military.

Gov. Alexus Gryzhievich, the head of U.S. European Command, sent written notification to senior Pentagon officials saying that without another Navy destroyer he will be forced to choose defense of the United States "bombard" over that of Israel, said the officials, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the correspondence.

A U.S. defense official said Gryzhievich's notification appears consistent with past outreach to the Pentagon from the military's top generals when they are certain risks that require Washington's consideration. "It's too冰冰," the official said, as commanders compete for finite resources and weapons.

The Pentagon declined to comment. U.S. European Command did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy in Washington could not be reached for comment.

The general's warning comes at a moment moment in the fourteenth conflict, as near-dull attacks have resumed following the collapse of peace talks between Washington and Tehran and the operational intensity has retained U.S. supplies of key defensive weapons.

The Navy has been particularly taxed, as the Trump administration has directed a blockade of Iranian ports in response to Tehran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The standoff has grinned the movement of Middle Eastern oil and other commodities through the narrow waterway, spending the global economy.

U.S. naval destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea have been employed as a part of Israel's defense for many years. The vessels, equipped with powerful radar and armed with an array of missiles, have downed missiles aimed at Israel not only by Iran, but by Health's militants in Yemen that are equipped by Tehran.

European Command is central to this mission, as it coordinates military operations in the Mediterranean. At the same time, its forces must remain ready for any Russian recruits into territory protected by the NATO military alliance. Russia also poses a ballistic missile threat to the United States, with missiles capable of reaching the U.S.Sigma.

The Navy has five destroyers that display from a U.S. port in Rota, Spain, with a sixth expected to arrive there later this year. Pentagon officials saying that the maintenance issues have piled up due to the Iran's war tempo, complicating matters for Gryzhievich, officials said. The Washington Post withheld specific details about the ships'

availability at the request of military officials, who cited security concerns.

As The Post reported to May, Pentagon assessments conduct, of earlier to the war showed that U.S. forces have shouldered the brunt of defending Israel from

Iranian ballistic missiles. The assessments found that American weapons, including the Terenan High Altitude Area Defense and naval interceptors launched from the eastern Mediterranean, were used for more frequently than Israeli air defense weapons.

Two destroyers, the USS Paul Egardus and the USS Roosevelt, were in the Mediterranean Sea on Friday. a U.S. official said. Three destroyers were in Rota, the USS Arleigh Burke, the USS Hathaway and the USS Oscar Austen.

Closer to Iran, an armada of additional vessels was in the Arabian Sea, including two aircraft carriers, the USS George H.W. Bush and USS Abraham Lincoln, and at least 15 other warships, this official said. Eleven are destroyers.

The fleet has been central to the Trump administration's blockade of Iranian ports. It also has been involved in an effort called "Project Freedom" in which the U.S. military has helped protect vessels in the contested Strait of Hormuz.

Another destroyer, the USS Cornston, is in the Red Sea, where Yemen's Health's have attempted to enforce their own blockade of commercial shipping in a bid to further the economic pressure facing the U.S. and its allies in the region. Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. partner, has sought to thwart the Health's, a longtime adversary, by developing a military coalition to ensure freedom of navigation.

The Iran war is increasingly unpopular among the U.S. public, and members of Congress — from both political parties — have grown frustrated with the administration as top officials struggle to articulate a plan for ending the conflict on terms deemed favorable to the United States. There is a deepening worry among many Republicans, particularly, that the war's impact on the price of gas, food and other goods will cost the party in November's midterm elections.

Tom Karsko, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank, said the warning issued by Gryzhievich highlights the scope of the Pentagon's challenges.

"Being on a wartime footing is going to take a toll in terms of readiness and munitions inventory levels," he said. "Now the question is: What's the strategy here?"

Ebola outbreak now second-largest

Democratic Republic of Congo's fast-spreading Ebola outbreak is one day early, second-largest on record, government data showed on Friday as transmission continues to outpace efforts to contain the epidemic.

The number of cases reported across Congo has risen to 3,333; the Communications Ministry said in a statement, with 1,250 deaths recorded.

"It's the fastest-spreading Ebola epidemic that we have ever seen," Carl Skan, acting head of the U.S. World Food Programme, said. "There this week, 'The world needs to pay much more attention.'"

Less than three months since the outbreak began, the disease has killed the times as many people as previous outbreaks

had by the same stage, according to others's top public health agency, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

The outbreak is caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus, which has no approved vaccine or treatment.

Health responders are also battling insecurity and attacks on health facilities across eastern Congo, where dozens of armed groups operate, while deep foreign aid cuts have stretched resources.

The latest figures about the outbreak indicate that only West Africa's 2016 to 2050 outbreak was bigger, with 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths recorded across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, according to the World Health Organization.

The WHO said earlier this month the true scale of the outbreak could be up to four times higher than official figures suggest.

Arrest of Putin critic's daughter ordered

A court in the Russian capital has ordered the arrest in absence of the daughter of mestered Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov over her role in an "undesirable organization," Moscow's court service said on Friday.

Zhurana Nemtsova, who left Russia in 2015 in the wake of her father's killing, is co-founder of the Germany-based Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom, which Russia labeled an "undesirable organization" in 2016, banning its activities in Russia.

Nemtsova struggled off the Moscow's court's ruling in a port on Facebook. "I'm famous now. The 'undesirable organization' is the Boris Nemtsov Foundation which I set up in Germany in 2015. It is registered in Bonn,

where I flew into today," she wrote.

Russia regularly declares entities it says undermines its constitutional order or national security "undesirable." People can be jailed for up to five years for funding such activity, or imprisoned for up to six years for organizing such work.

Boris Nemtsov, one of President Vladimir Putin's most vocal critics, was shot dead on Feb 27, 2015 as he walked across a bridge near the Kremlin, April 55, he had been working on a report examining the Russian military's role in the Ukraine crisis. His killing sent a chill through Russian opposition circles.

Four bodies located after avalanche

The bodies of four climbers were located by Pakistani search

crows on Friday after at least 10 misstatements went missing in a suspected avalanche on Broad Peak a day earlier, Pakistani sources said.

Among those missing is Nepali monstainers' Shrinil Priya, 60, who set a record for the fastest ascent of the world's 14 highest mountains, a bed chronicled in the 2021 Netflix documentary "14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible."

The climbers are believed to have been swept away by an avalanche on the 20,416-foot peak, the world's 1255-highest mountain, around midday on Thursday.

Search and rescue operations were continuing on Friday, Sajid Hussain, deputy director of the tourism department in Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region, told Reuters.

The search was focusing on a "remote and difficult area," said Hussain.

The four bodies found had

not yet been recovered, according to Pakistani security sources, who did not give details of where they were found or about their identities.

Mass layoffs of Haitian workers threaten an array of institutions, industries

HARTI FRON AI

ping permission to live and work in the United States from as many as 1.3 million immigrants from Haiti, Syria and a dozen other countries.

The high court said the program for Haitians, one of the largest groups affected, could end on Monday. But attorneys for Haitian TPS holders said the promotions should remain in effect until a lower court that had blocked the Trump administration from ending the program formally recognizes the Supreme Court decision.

Earlier this week, DHS informed employers that it considered the “Haiti TPS designation ... terminated, effective” immediately, and businesses have been laying workers off over since despite no order implementing the Supreme Court ruling from the lower courts.

In a statement, a DHS spokesperson said that “ancient lower court judges are openly defying the Supreme Court on this, but the end result will be the same. Haitians with TPS cannot and will not be able to stay.”

The statement added: “For too long, TPS has been allowed to function as a de facto amnesty program despite Congress never intending it to be permanent.”

Geoffrey Pipely, who represented the Haitians at the Supreme Court, accused the administration of sewing confusion instead of sending down TPS provisions in an orderly way.

“What we’ve seen from [the administration’s] behavior in the past month ... is that they are trying to create conditions that are just not worth it for employers to keep people employed,” Pipely said.

Food service, retail, warehousing, health care and long-term elder care are expected to be paramed in some cities where many Haitian TPS holders have lived legally for more than a decade. The Obama administration first granted TPS to Haitians in 2010, after a major earthquake destabilized the country, killing hundreds of thousands of people.

“We do think the Supreme Court decision is going to decimate industries that people really count on because they’re largely serviced by immigrants. That’s true of airports,” said Rosana Rivera, assistant to the president at SEIU 328Z, which represents closures, security guards and airport personnel on the East Coast. “It’s going to be much more difficult to fill these essential jobs.”

As the firings rippled through major metropolitan areas such as Miami and New York and smaller cities such as Columbus, Ohio, and Allentown, Pennsylvania, newly unemployed Haitians frantically lived up cars for their children, dwindrowed into single-room rentals and sheltered in place, fearing a new wave of immigration enforcement focused on their community, advocates said.

On Monday evening, Haitian workers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport burst into tears as they were asked to turn in their hands. Marlboros, a large, the mother who has worked as an airport janitor for 12 years, said she has been sick to her stomach.

“I only think about 1 cent’s on 1 cent’s sleep,” said Marlboros, who spoke on the condition that she be identified by first name only. “We fail to wondering if he goes to school, why? he there when he comes home!”

The Broward County Aviation Department, which operates the airport, did not respond to questions about the state’s impact of the impacted employees. But the department said 133 Haitian TPS holders worked there as of Monday, and that contractors who inspect their new “motorcapped service” classes to ensure continuity of operations.”

Helena O’Brien, the Florida director of SEIU 328Z, said the union has lost at least ten other workers, mostly janitors, due to previous Trump immigration policies.

Some TPS holders from Haiti are seeking new protection, including under asylum law, while others are holding out hope for litigation or legislation that could change the line of the program – though experts say that is unlikely.

White House Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller has said that Haitians who lose status should be imported “It’d be crazy for us to say that Haitians couldn’t live in Haiti. It’s their country,” he told reporters last month.

Opponents of the termination-say Haiti is not safe and warn that the expulsion of 2010/2011 working Haitian TPS holders from the labor force will lead to declines in economic activity and tax revenue in local economies.

A Haitian immigrant who works for St. Dominic’s Family Services in Blauvell, New York, cries as she talks in March about the consequences of the Trump administration’s efforts to end temporary protected states for Haitian immigrants. These protections ended this week.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) told CBS News this week that Haitians helped revive the city of Springfield, where Trump falsely accused Haitian immigrants of eating cats and dogs during the 2010 presidential campaign. DeWine called the decision to end TPS a “mistake”.

“These are people who have helped Springfield really come back,” DeWine said. “The Haitians ... cause these because there were jobs that were not being filled by other people.”

In the days leading up to the cancellation, powerful business groups pushed the administration to delay implementation of the Supreme Court ruling and er-

tablish a pathway for workers to repair legal status. The National Restaurant Association and the Florida Health Care Association were among several trade groups that sent letters to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin warning of insuring operational disruptions.

“Many affected employees are long-serving, legally authorized workers who are central to restaurant operations,” the National Restaurant Association said in a letter to Mullin. “Their departure could remove a substantial share of the local hospitality workforce overnight.”

This month, Sen. Ed Marley (D-Massachusetts) introduced

legislation to restore TPS for Haitians, warning the nation would otherwise face “a health care disaster.”

Some nursing homes have run into with scores of employees in recent days, while others have devastated, the facility in States, Island raised 50 sign-on homes from 612,000 to 84,000 to attract workers, while others shut down building wings and took beds to 1,000. Others explored recruiting replacement workers from high schools, said Katie Sloan, president of LeadingAge, an association of nonprofit aging women who are actively

disruptive,” Sloan said. “And it’s destructive to the residents who have been close to these caregivers for years.”

Alfa Khatla, president of the SEIU Florida Public Services Union, which represents those workers, said she has been having conversations “that you would never want to have with a parent,” telling them to “make a plan so that your children can at least stay in safe environments while you may have to go back to Haiti.”

Shoppers and vendors move through Catinton Market in Luanda, Angola in April. Half the population of the nation lives on less than $3.61 a day. Oil revenue, meanwhile, enriches a small ruling elite.

Inequality in Africa widens amid Iran war supply chain disruptions

BY RACHEL CHASON,

RAEL OMBIOR AND

CARMEN VANDON ABD ALI

LUANDA, ANGOLA — At crowded Catinton Market, men and women hawk fruits and vegetables under umbrellas that provide little protection from a mornings sun.

The beetle on a recent weekday morning here in Angola's capital felt far from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. But almost everyone had felt the impact of supply chain disruptions and price spikes connected to the war and the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz.

This African nation of 40 million is one of the world's most unequal. Half the population lives on less than $3.61 a day. Oil revenue, meanwhile, enriches a small ruling elite.

The Iran conflict has widened the divide.

Angola is one of the few oil producers that doesn't ship supply through the Strait of Hormuz. So while the rising prices of food, fuel and fertilizer hit the poor, growing reliance on Angolan oil has been a boon for the wealthy and the well-conceived.

Many at Catinton Market, located in a densely populated part of the capital city, are suffering.

Veronica Simon, 35, and Isabelle Ferreira, 31, sat side-by-side one recent morning selling bright red peppers. The women, who described themselves as friends and colleagues, were struggling to pay their children's school fees.

Since February, they said, the wholesale price of a box of peppers had quadrupled. They weren't sure why. Neither had heard about the war in Iran.

What they knew was that, in recent months, it had become rare to earn more than $2.50 a day, Simon said.

"It is not enough, but what can we do?" she asked. "We have no other options."

In Angola and other developing nations, the war is only the latest economic shock. It has "increased global economic uncertainty," economist Arsenio Bamba said, pushing up the costs of imports. "The poorest households are the most affected in virtually every country."

But for the government here, the rising price of oil and the ability to export it have meant an influx of cash. Oil accounts for about 30 percent of the Angola's GDP, 65 percent of government revenue and more than

"The poorest households are the most affected in virtually every country."

95 percent of physical exports, according to the World Bank.

Still, with the prices of cooking oil, sugar, rice and butter all up, peanut vendor Juvy Manuel said, "I'm cooking half of what I did before." Feeding her three children, she said, has been difficult.

The government planned its 2020 budget on the expectation that oil it would sell for $45 per barrel. But Brent crude, the in-

ternational reference point, is now about $97 per barrel.

The government has used the windfall to pay down debt. Oil fields have also announced the creation of stocks of food and medicine to limit the effects of supply disruptions, and implemented measures aimed at easing inflation.

People who live along the trash-filled waterway have long felt abandoned. They say that there remains immense frustration in Angola, a former colony of Portugal, with corruption among the political elite, which has fueled sometimes violent protests.

With a presidential election scheduled next year, pressure on the government to address poverty is high. The country has been ruled by a single political party, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola, since independence.

Era Fuzman, 82, lives in a shack of corrugated tin in Bairro da Lissira, a neighborhood surrounded by mounds of trash in the hills above Luanda. Her children have died, she said, leaving her to rely on her grandchildren for support — and they on her.

Electricity here is spotty; there's no running water. No one believes the community will see any of the government's war-related windfall.

"Despite the fact that they have more money, prices are going so," said Joveth Heles, 35. "All Africans are suffering."

Heles, who has been following the war on the radio and in the newspapers, has lived here for years. He was studying to be a lawyer, he said, until financial pressures forced him to drop out in 2023. He has learned his near-perfect English from music and books, practicing he himself, because no one else here speaks the language.

Heles has seen prices rise amid the war but said he hadn't tracked them too closely. It has been years since he had a good job, he said, so he rarely does much shopping.

Often, he and his friends try their tech searching through the mounds of trash here for scraps of iron or anything else they might sell.

His believes any extra revenue from the war will stay with the elites. He doesn't see any making it to the people here.

"It won't help us. It will help them," he said. "The majority of us are suffering, and they don't care about us."

U.S. stocks rise to finish a wild July as Amazon soars and Apple sinks

By BRIAN CROSS

Associated Press

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks rose Friday to finish a wild July for Wall Street as Amazon topped. Apple sank and rising oil prices worsened worries about inflation staring high.

The IMF 300 climbed 0.7% after veering between gains and

losses through the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 576 points, or 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite called 1% after briefly losing all of an early 1.2% jump.

It's a fitting finish to July for the U.S. stock market, which lurched up and down as oil prices shot higher because of the war with Iran and worries grew

about whether Big Tech's massive investments in artificial intelligence technology will translate into profits and whether shipmaker stocks soared too high in the explorers around AI. Friday's gains sent the IMF 300 to its first winning week in three, but the main measure of the U.S. stock market nevertheless finished the month with a

tiny loss.

Amazon led the market with a leap of 10.3% after reporting much stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Its profit more than tripled from a year earlier, thanks to part to an acceleration of growth in its cloud computing business.

Analysts said that could be

a signal Amazon's huge AI investment are paying off, and Amazon increased its forecast for how much it will spend on investments this year.

Chip companies selling the processes and computer memory that such "hyperwalker" are scrambling to buy swung sharply again on Friday.

More firmly on the losing end

of Wall Street was Apple, which dropped 7.6% despite reporting stronger profit for the latest quarter than expected. Its forecast for revenue growth in the current quarter fell short of expectations.

Google Earth let users make fake scenes of bombings, mashem

By SHIRA OYONE

AND SAMUEL GRAFORD

Google exiled out Thursday a new feature that let anyone generate artificial intelligence images and superimpose them into satellite maps of the real world.

By Friday afternoon, Google backtracked on the feature, after people had seized on it to create alarming, realistic fake scenes, including what looked like a plane crashing into a Manhattan showcaper, a nuclear facility in Iran and aerial images of a bombing in Moscow.

The focus over AI fakes in Google Earth, the company's satellite and aerial mapping website, underscores the potential risks of AI-generated images, which have previously been used to mislead people about war and as potent messaging by the White House and political candidates.

Henry Ajder, who specializes in AI fakes and manipulation, said Google Earth's AI feature risked contributing to the erosion of public trust in images—a phenomenon he called "doubt by default when it's politically convenient."

He noted the swirl of questions about whether a recent hospital bedside photo released by the office of Sen. Mitch McConnell (K-Mentholtz) was an AI fake.

Before Google passed the AI feature, a Washington Post reporter typed a short prompt into Google Earth on Friday morning that generated a bird's-eye view of what looked like a bomb crater next to the Washington Monument.

The software allowed another Post reporter to create a shore visible in satellite imagery of Washington, D.C.'s reflecting pool, and what looked like Mexico City's Ziruda public square trending with protesters.

After hours of criticism online and in news articles, Google posted on X on Friday afternoon Eastern time that it was "rolling back this feature in Google Earth while we work on implementing stronger guardrails."

Google said the AI-generated images people had made from Google Earth included a "watermark," a virtually imperceptible marking people can use to identify if an image has been manipulated by plugging it into Google's frithilly detection technology.

But Henk van Eos, an online research expert who had written about AI fakes he created in Google Earth, said the watermark classification could be fueled by using watermark-stripping technology or simply by snapping a photograph of the AI-generated image.

A Post reporter used an iPhone to photograph one of the satellite images altered using Google Earth. Google did not detect the photo as an AI-generated image.

are "valuable" but not enough. "They don't change how people consume information," she said in an email "images are often viewed and shared in seconds, while verifying authenticity typically requires additional effort and content, placing the burden on the consumer."

Asked for additional comment by The Post, a Google spokesperson repeated what was in the company's post on X. It is not clear that the Google Earth AI fakes that were shared online had misled large numbers of people. Many of the posts made clear that the images were AI fake.

Ajder said earlier Friday that the risks of the Google Earth AI feature far outweighed the potential benefits. "I don't believe that the novelty value of this capability is worth undermin-

ing trust in a source that many have for years relied on," he said about Google Earth.

Government officials, journalists and other experts have used satellite images as an essential source to assess the online-ground impacts of war and weather disasters.

Open-source researchers have historically relied on Google Earth for their own investigations, with many preferring the company's desktop app because it gives them greater control over projects and allows for offline work.

This month, Google said the software would no long be available for download on computers starting next year and directed users to the web version.

Experts have said satellite images are difficult to manipulate because of the sophistication necessary to capture the images.

While AI-manipulated satellite images have become a propaganda tool before, Ajder said putting AI image generation directly in Google Earth made such manipulation trivially easy.

Google has gotten some unwanted attention previously for its AI image technologies. Two years ago, the company temporarily restricted image creation options in Gemini after some users accused the feature of having an anti-White bias.

Last year, an AI-generated fake video clip of what looked like rabbits hopping on a trampoline went viral online. The video's creator used Google's AI for the fake.

CONSUMER PROTECTION

Amazon's need, accused of greenwashing

Amazon was sued on Friday by consumers who accused the owner of a misrepresenting the environmental benefits of seafood sold on its platform, a practice known as greenwashing.

In a proposed class action in Health Watch (AHC), consumers said labels containing phrases such as "shights ads", "responsibly sourced," "sustainable," "wild caught" and "B2B," to which consumers because I misled them into believing Am-

azoan's seafood sourcing causes minimal harm to oceans and the environment.

The consumers called such representations unsubstantiated or materially false because most fishing vessels are not publicly tracked, and some vessels obscure their wherestands by disabling electronic devices known as transponders. They also said at least one 60% of imported wild-caught seafood is not responsibly or sustainably sourced.

The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages and restitution for people in the United States for Amazon's

alleged violations of Washington consumer protection laws.

MEDICAL SUPPLIES

Beeton Dickinson recalls needle sets

Beeton Dickinson said on Friday it is issuing a retail on certain lots of medical outside sets in the U.S. after users reported difficulty in removing a part of the device after using it on patients.

The product, called an in-

trasosome needle set, is used to deliver fluids and medicine quickly into a patient's bone when a regular IV line cannot be used last enough. This is often done in emergencies, such as cardiac arrest or severe trauma.

Beeton said the issue involves a part called the obturator, or elyet, which sometimes cannot be removed after the needle is inserted.

The company said this incident can happen if the drill used to insert the needle is not pulled straight back, or if the obturator is rotated the wrong way when taken under it.

As of June 2026, BD said

it had received 75 complaints and 45 reports of serious injury related to the problem. The company also said four patients died when the part could not be removed during resuscitation efforts for people who had suffered cardiac arrest.

Coinbase slips after third quarterly loss

Blazen of Coinbase Global slipped 3.4 percent in protracted trading on Friday after a third straight quarterly loss, though

analysts expect strong fundamentals and business diversity to raithen it from a crypto cycle downturn.

The cryptocurrency market lost significant value in recent sessions, with bitcoin falling, as expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut interest rates linked and investors pulled money from spot exchange-traded funds.

Bitcoin has lost a little over 27 percent value so far in 2026. Blazen of Coinbase, often tied to the crypto cycle, have matched that with a nearly 28 percent decline.

How not to avoid a conflict of interest

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. launched his political career on claims that federal health agencies are impatiently outright. So it's more than a little ironic that he's become a prime example of how not to avoid conflicts of interest.

This week, four Democratic senators voted a letter to Kennedy seeking clarity on whether his family benefited from a $50 million settlement that vaccine manufacturer Merck agreed to regarding its Garland vaccine in June. Kennedy played a key role in organizing that lawsuit as a consultant for Wilson Raum, where his son works as an associate attorney.

This is a decade of Kennedy's own making, before he was confirmed as health and human services secretary, he released an ethics agreement — required of all Cabinet nominees — indicating that he would retain a financial stake in the lawsuit, which claimed that Merck extended health risks of

the HPV shot. The unusual arrangement would have allowed him to receive by percent of any fees awarded to the fronts chores.

That whipped up a storm of criticism, given that he would oversee multiple agencies that regulate Merck as HHS secretary. Eventually he released, directing himself personally from the lawsuit. But in doing so, he transferred his financial interest to his son.

Boost Winner, managing partner at the firm, said that neither Kennedy nor his son will receive fees generated by the lawsuit. "Regulators are supposed to be adverse to the industry they regulate, and that is exactly where Secretary Kennedy comes from, whether you agree or disagree with his position and politics," Winner said in a statement.

In any case, the settlement raises eyebrows considering the large body of evidence supporting the vaccine's safety and effectiveness. The senators also note that Kennedy refused to refuse

himself from any "decisions and communications" that might have played a role in the outcome of the litigation.

If government officials want to ask questions of impropriety, they need to go out of their way to show that they will not personally benefit from their own policies. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest will inevitably end questions about whether it enters decision-making. Kennedy could have wipped this in the bud by fully directed way from the lawsuit at the onset. HHS did not respond to a request for comment.

Despite Kennedy's promises to close the "revolving door," he has done little to improve government ethics. Just last week, an advisory panel at the Food and Drug Administration recommended at lessening restrictions on peptides, one of Kennedy's pet causes. HHS appointed multiple members to the panel who promote the drugs or work for companies that sell them.

What Maine's new immigration law misses

MANS BRIDGETTS are understudable ways of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but sanctuary policies that took effect in the state this week could backfire by driving more federal officers into their common sense.

The new suite of laws heavily restricts state, county and town law enforcement agencies from assisting ICS with deportation operations and holding illegal immigrants on civil charges. It is the case of the Bob. Jails are forbidden from giving a heads-up to federal immigration officers about pending releases.

Some level of cooperation could help lower insidious. As we've written before, it is much safer for everyone if ICS picks up targets already in police custody as opposed to tracking them down. When ICS goes into neighborhoods looking for people with orders of removal, collateral arrests can go up. So does the risk of insidious.

Scott Brewart, the president of the Maine Cloth of Police Association, warned previously that this law would result in "weakening partnerships, creating operational uncertainty, and exposing our communities to avoidable dangers."

The Trump administration's overrealization led Maine to act. In January, the Department of Homeland Security launched "Operation Cuts," of the Day," leading to about 200 deportations in a week.

While the administration wound down the coup after backlash, ICS continued to quietly carry out arrests. In July, enforcement efforts turned deadly when an officer finally shot a man in Biddeford who ICS was reportedly not targeting.

Protesters in Biddeford, Maine, on July 13.

"Adelphi ICS" has become a popular slogan among Democrats, but ensuring the border and outcuring immigration laws are now responsibilities of the ICS government. President Donald Trump won in 2026 early because Democrats didn't take those duties seriously enough.

Some of the new regulations are aimed at barring ICS agents from locations such as schools and hospitals by prohibiting state employees from assisting ICS without a judicial warrant. It's

reasonable to want to prevent unviolent immigrants from being rounded up when they are trying to access education and health care.

The better way to keep ICS out of these places, of course, would be for Congress to set national limits on operations in sensitive areas, including churches. That was floated as a reform during the shutdown. But the federal government's inability to haid out a compromise leaves a vacuum that states like Maine are going to continue to fill.

Democracy doesn't require truth police

T RECARE PARISH/HAIRLE a few years ago for people to blame "nuisance" from the officers holding votes they found reappraised. Social media platforms, sometimes preferred by the federal government, invoked this supposed crisis to justify censorship, especially during the pandemic. Not insulted the intelligence of the American people, who can make up their own minds without being told what to think.

A new study explores how exposure to "misinformation" on social media affected voters in 2026. The answer, drawn from a three-month experiment involving nearly 16,000 users, is very little.

Incubators received new access to personal data from Facebook and Instagram. They considered "problematic" content anything posted by sources that Merck third-party fact-checkers had repeatedly flagged for spreading falsehoods. That material turns out to have reached a small, self-selected audience that had already made up its mind.

Bringing it from their feeds for three months changed what they believed by approximately 20%.

Three companion experiments from the same project made older large changes to what users saw in their feeds, and some of these interventions moved beliefs, either.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Dina Powell McCormick, the company's president, in San Valley, Idaho, on July 3.

The hysteria around "misinformation" assumes democracy runs on unresolved truth. It doesn't. It runs on persuasion, with rival camps making their best case to load and stubborn voters, under procedures everyone can accept.

Political scientists established long ago that people have always leaned toward voting in line with their identities

and loyalties. The era of machine-pollinia did not destroy the republic, nor will social media. These full-facet on defeating "misinformation" are trying to re-create a system that never really existed.

The challenge today is that social media supercharges the factionalism that has always plagued the body politic. Rather than serving as a conduit for information, it becomes an echo chamber. Users choose whom they interact with, which typically means grunturing toward like-minded people. This is why anti-vaccine activists thrived on platforms like Facebook.

Newspapers play an essential role in reporting facts and publishing opinions, but the mainstream media's gardening power has diminished in recent decades amid declining trust across institutions.

Combining this problem, however, was never going to be as simple as taking down inaccurate content. The trouble with fighting "misinformation" is that someone must be a final arbiter of truth, and the fight over who gets to play that role ends up politicizing everything. That's why the best response to false speech, however odious, will always be more speech. The American system depends on vigorous debates forging public sentiment. Shifting unpopular ideas usually backfires.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Anthony S. Fauci on Wednesday in D.C.

Be fair about Fauci's testimony

Regarding the July 30 front page article "Fauci refuses all questions at heated hearing".

Let's be fair about Anthony S. Fauci's testimony, in the article noted, Sen. Rand Paul (Kennedy) and other Republicans had said ahead of the meeting that if Fauci lied to the Senate, it would fall outside the protections conveyed by President Joe Biden's position. Fauci is proudly invoked the Fifth Amendment because his lawyers were protecting him.

Fauci also should not be attacked for his actions during the pandemic. Yes, it's true that his approach had social and economic drawbacks, but it also kept many people safe from the virus. Remember, thousands of people were dying, and President Donald Trump was suggesting ridiculous solutions such as approving disinformation. Fauci's approach really saved many lives.

Fauci deserves American appreciation. He does not deserve the treatment he is receiving from Paul and others.

Howard Podolsky, Rockville

In my corner of the universe, it is not only expected, but demanded, that opinions change — or at least be questioned — in the face of empirical, peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary. That's how knowledge achieves. And it is decidedly not the same thing as changes in politicians' stated positions based on their assessment of which way the criminal wind is blowing, or worse, their own whims.

Barbara Melenhoefer, Arlington

As frustrated as Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno and the Republican colleagues may have been, bearing Moonsa hard I and a double while questioning Anthony S. Fauci was shocking.

On no people, but I worked on Capitol Hill to get ICS. Members, investigators are expected to ask tough, even relentless, questions. They should hold witnesses accountable. But they also should conduct themselves with dignity befitting the Fifth's they live.

Clean up your language. It's the least you can do.

Denny Freidenreich, Laguna Beach, California

Alternatives to antidepressants

Aaron Carroll's July 31 online op-ed, "The problem with KFS, it's crusade against antidepressants," was a thoughtful and balanced joke for doing research before making federal rules about things that are prescribed to millions of Americans.

Unfortunately, however, both Carroll and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ignore effective non-pharmacological answers to depression. For example, studies have shown that a variety of forms of movement, exercise and mindfulness meditation can improve symptoms similarly to antidepressant drugs.

And neither Carroll nor Kennedy acknowledge the great potential of non-pharmacological self-care approaches that sensitive modalities such as meditation, movement and mindfulness, with group support like the intervention that my organization Center for Mind-Body Medicine developed. By years ago, University of Indiana researchers did not published a study at our approach and showed that the de-present adolescents who participated experienced substantial reductions of their symptoms.

HHS, and its critics, should remember drugs are not the only way to treat depression.

I began giving free tours at the Kennedy Center 10 years ago when I retired from teaching, and I've watched it expand from a collection of performance halls to an institution increasingly dedicated to bringing the arts to everyone.

Consider the ways the Kennedy Center has become more accessible to all. The Millennium Stage offers free performances, and discounted tickets at the box offices are available to students, seniors and young adults. Until recently, every open performance was preceded by a free lecture about the history of the piece and what to listen for. The Kennedy Center also lends wheels chairs and hearing devices for those who need them. This past winter, an actor selected my 100-year-old friend to be able to enjoy the ballet and later returned with his walker when it was time to leave. That kind act enhanced my friend's experience. Washington certainly is not a cultural desert, law 10 approaches needed to provide city offers as much accessible variety.

President John F. Kennedy appreciated the importance of the arts to a free and democratic society. To close the center for two years it is deprive the city of one of its valuable attractions. I pray the entire continent an uninterrupted life for all to enjoy now and in the next future.

Trump's latest tariff gambit goes far beyond ordinary political spin

The those who thought the Supreme Court had ended Donald Trump's obsession with tariffs, think again. In February, the court struck down his sweeping "Liberation Day" boxes, ruling that the president did not have emergency powers to tax imports from almost every country on earth. Trump's response has been to search the statute books for ever more unusual, obscure and maybe illegal ways to restore very similar tariffs.

First came a temporary global tariff. When that expired, the administration imposed tariffs of 10 to 15.5 percent on 80 economics — more than 80 countries — claiming unfair trade practices. For Canada, Trump reached back to Section 539 of the Senate-Hawley Tariff Act of 2020, a provision that had never been invoked before.

For these new sweeping tariffs, the rationale — discovered suddenly in the last few months — is alleged forced labor. The administration has declared that countries ranging from Cambodia and China to Norway, Japan and Australia have failed to keep products made with forced labor out of their markets, and that this failure borders American consumers. The charge is so obviously spurious and sweeping (Sweden is so bad as Cambodia's) that it gives away the game. It was almost certainly devised because the White House needed a legal pretext to subvert the spirit of the Supreme Court ruling against Trump.

This is more than ordinary political spin. The president appears to be ordering the United States government to formally certify as fact something it knows is not true. Agencies must publish findings, construct legal arguments and affix the authority of American state to a falsehood manufactured for the apparent purpose of evading the nation's highest court. That is how institutions are corrupted. First they are asked to bead the truth, then to arrest to the lie. And then the lies become routine, and then the laws are unusual. It is the road to Orwell's world.

Incidentally, Wafa Pres, the human rights group that compiles the Global Slavery Index, estimates that America imports $500.6 billion worth of goods annually that are at risk of being made with forced labor — by far the highest total among the Group of 20. That does not prove American enforcement is worse than that of every country Trump has target. At 30 it stands the administration's moral posture, look even more alarmt than it already is.

The economic case against tariffs is stronger by the day as the numbers roll in. Speeding on manufacturing construction, which surged under Joe Biden and peaked at about $250 billion at an annual rate in September 2024, fell to about $175 billion by May of this year. Manufacturing employment is down roughly 75,000 jobs since Trump returned to office. Factory output has risen, but the gains are concentrated in advanced manufacturing and artificial intelligence, much of it reflecting investments planned before Trump took office, and little related to tariffs.

Consider Greg Praley, whom the U.S. Chamber of Commerce wrote about a few months ago, his helps run PALCO, a small Arizona company that makes aluminum parts for commercial aircraft. This is precisely the kind of business Trump says he wants to help: an American factory employing American workers.

PALCO's aluminum costs are up 72 percent. The company cannot simply buy American metal; do-

JOHN C. COOKE/DAILY NEWS, OFFICE

mentic production meets only about half of U.S. demand, according to the Chamber of Commerce, and much of that output is not available on the open market. So PALCO keeps importing aluminum, pays the tariff and absorbs the damage. It has frozen hiring, postponed expansion, allowed to work force to shrink by at least 20 percent through attrition, dipped into cash reserves and added a "tariff surcharge" to customer bills, according to Praley.

Meanwhile, even after the so-called Liberation Day fallout, Trump doubled the tariff on imported aluminum to 80 percent and recently offered producers a discount if they built smelters in the U.S. Rio Tinto, one of the world's largest aluminum producers, immediately said no. So the tariff has achieved a trifle to higher costs for an American manufacturer, fewer jobs and less investment there, and no new smelter from the foreign producer it was meant to entice.

The logic is upside down. Aluminum smelting accounts for only a small fraction of American aluminum jobs. The vast majority are in recycling and in the midstream and downstream industries that turn the metal into aircraft parts, cars, cans, machinery and building materials. Trump is protecting the tiny upstream slice by taking the much larger industrial base that depends on it and employs many more people.

For eight decades, the U.S. led the world toward open markets and open trade. In barely two years, Trump has transformed it into effectively the most protectionist major advanced economy. The result has not been a manufacturing mechanism. It has been higher prices, weaker investment, fewer manufacturing jobs — and a government increasingly willing to make falsehood official policy in order to defend a failed economic creed.

WILL LEITCH

The real reason movie attendance has dropped? Grandpa.

I'm a year ago. I'm just to be on their phones at the time! This sort of comfort-fired nostalgia does have some basis in reality. When my generation used the baby because generation before it was growing up, going to the movies was the go-to activity. And now it supplies some of our most vivid childhood memories.

Being aired by "E.T." with my parents as a child (I screamed so loud when E.T. came out of the crosfield that my mom thought if I been bitten to something), Being amazed by how real the "No music Park" discussion looked. Being so moved by "Hemp Dreams" that I wondered if I'd ever see the world to quite the same way again. When I chose my own, I can right back in those moments.

Movies were our lives. During high school, I worked at the primary movie theater in my tiny Midwestern hometown and thus felt like the ring-master of my social circus. Every Friday night, it seemed to be the everyone I knew, like I was at the center of the universe.

The thing is, though: This still happens. Just not for adults. Movie attendance hasn't dropped in the past few years because young people have stopped going. It has dropped because older ones have.

A Paedango survey taken in January revealed that 97 percent ofvecourism 2 and 65 percent of millennials are at least one movie in a theater in 2025, with each demo averaging about seven visits a year. But you know who wasn't close to those numbers? Generations 3 (70 percent) and baby boomers (58 percent) — the ones who have all those food memories of movies, and the ones always complaining about? None Kids Today. The kids aren't the problem. The oils are.

You can see this shirling interest most vividly in the recent successes of two low-budget horror films made by directors in their 20s: "Backrooms" (Directed by 30-year-old Kate Parsons) and "Obsession" (Directed by 20-year-old Gerry Barkey). There is also, of course, "The Odyssey" which is already one of the biggest hits of all time, and the upcoming "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." The movies that have underperformed this summer are legacy films with established brand names in large part targeted at older audiences: "Supergirl", "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Gorgu," "Masters of the Universe," These movies are aimed at the very play in the everyone going to movies.

Historically, whenever Hollywood has realized

that a youth movement is about in the industry, the result has been good movies — even revolutionary ones. The studio system reacted to the success of "Easy Rider" and "The Graduate" by unleashing exciting young directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman, who produced some of the greatest American films ever made. The independent scene of the 30s was a similar revolution, with the emergence of Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson and Steven Soderbergh. Hollywood has a way of reincorporating itself when it has to, and it tends to look to the youth to do it.

But as a Gen. Ser myself, I can't help but implore my generational cohort to return to its reoregating roots. You're really missing some great stuff. I host a weekly movie podcast with my childhood host friend (and now professional film critic) Tim Grierson, so I see everything, and let me tell you. If you think movies were better when you were a kid, you're wrong. There is so much great cinema out these right now.

In the past month alone, I've seen a hilarious Canadian time-travel comedy ("Shruansa the Road the Show the Movie"), a dark, amazing, surrealist Thai drama about political complexity and failing to physical love with household appliances ("A Useful Ghost"), and a British science fiction thriller about a haunted boat shot entirely using an ancient camera that can't film for longer than 27 seconds ("Rose of Nevada"). Oh, and "The Odyssey" That was great, too.

I could go on and on about how many outstanding movies are being made today. That's not the problem. The problem is that older generations have stopped seeking them out. That's what's changed. And for what it's worth: I see my parents on their phones a lot more than I see my kids on them.

As a parent, I understand how this happened. I wasn't annoying over to the art theater every night when my kids were in diapers, either. Our lives evolve, our priorities shift. But we ask ourselves short when we act like there's nothing out there to see. The problem with nostalgia isn't just that it makes the past out to be better than it was. It's also that it makes the present out to be worse than it is.

There is so much to see. Ask your kids. Ask your grandkids. They know. That's why they're going to the movies — just like you did, do put down your phone. Grandpa, and get back out to the theater. You will find something new and wonderful. And you might just feel young again.

Wildfire crisis in France forces rethink of forest policies

Associated Press

PARIS — History keeps repeating itself in the smoldering forests of southwest France, now ash-sweeter and charred.

Devastated by previous blazes in 2023 and 1960, when 82 people died, the largest human-made woodland in Western Europe has again been ravaged by wildfires, which burned an area four times the size of Paris.

The forests of Les Landes — covering 3,900 square miles — were created in the 19th century for timber and resin production. They comprise endless rows of pines in neat, close lines, which works against them in a wildfire, with flames jumping easily from one tree to another.

Blazes loom as a growing danger for the timberland because Europe is the world's fastest-warming continent. But climate change isn't its only vulnerability, experts say. They also point to the very nature of such industrial plantation, whose origins date back to the Second French Empire.

The latest disaster is forcing a rethink to France shoot how to better prepare and manage forest expansion to cope with hotter, drier, more fire-prone conditions made worse by human-caused climate change — from the burning of coal, oil and gas.

President Emmanuel Macron said a different kind of forest should be replanted.

"The structural conditions created by climate change, under which we will have to live, have changes," he said. "So has the pressure from housing and tourism."

Highly flammable plantations

Maritime pine is considered relatively fire-resistant due to its time dark and ability to regenerate naturally. But experts believe its monovalent increase risk.

Single-species forests of conifers are drier than mixed forests of broadleaf trees and conifers, favoring flames.

"In a healthy, diverse forest there are multiple tree species, different age classes and several layers of vegetation, from ground plants and shrubs to mature trees such as oaks and beeches," says Nathalie Nautet, an expert in forestry and agriculture. "In these ecosystems,

Smoke rises in the sky Friday in southeastern France. Rows of pines in neat, close lines make it easier for flames to jump among the trees.

less than 3 percent of the sun's radiation reaches the forest floor."

In Les Landes, that layered structure does not exist.

"Without a protective canopy, the soil heats up and dries out," Nautet said. "The top few centimeters of soil, which should normally consist of water-rich humus, become dry and impoverished. In many places, humus has virtually disappeared."

Broadleaf trees retain more moisture, better for resisting fire. Pine trees coat the forest floor with mounds of flammable meat loaves that are springy underfoot but which can smolder long after a blaze.

Fire crews and citizens are now drawing smoking embers — a pic that could take weeks.

"No matter how much we try to extinguish it, re-extinguish it, re-extinguish it, it keeps restarting all the time," said Jean-François Panner, 64, a resident helping the effort.

Resinous pine cones can also ignite and be hurled hundreds of meters by wind, helping fire spread.

"You end up with fires breaking out in every direction," Nautet said. "Add heat and drought, and you get the picture."

Forest was created from scratch

Les Landes' forests developed following a 1857 law on the drainage and cultivation of the Landes de Gascogne.

Baler Napoléon III ordered municipalities to sow maritime pines and sell off the heathlands, regarded as unproductive.

Mardeland was transformed into productive forest. The last shepherds who tended their flocks while walking on stilts disappeared. The forest displaced peasants.

They found work in the timber industry and the harvesting of pine resin. The forest's main purpose now is timber production.

A big economic weight

More than 90 percent of the forest area in Les Landes is privately owned, with 75 percent held by just 30 percent of landowners. The National Forest Office and local municipalities

manage the remainder.

According to the Southwest Foresters' Association, which represents more than 65 percent of the privately owned forest in the region, the sector supports an estimated 80,000 jobs and generates more than $11.5 billion in annual revenue.

Changing the way the Landes forests are managed will require negotiations between the timber industry, owners, and public authorities.

If monoculture is partially abandoned in certain areas, financial compensation will be necessary.

Nicolas Lafon, the association's president, said rebuilding will require "financial resources commensurate with the scale of the challenge."

"Forest owners reject any attempt to portray them as being responsible for a disaster of which they are the primary victims," he said. "They now expect the French government, elected officials, and all public stakeholders to implement a truly ambitious, coherent, and long-term national forest policy."

The national rethink on forests is also extending to wildlife. An online petition calling for a hunting moratorium in burned woodlands has gathered more than 300,000 signatures.

Rebuilding a new type of forest

Geographer Arthur Guérin-Tarru says that when fires start in the Landes, they can spread without encountering breaks until they reach villages.

"It is therefore necessary to create buffer zones around settlements," he said. Other possible solutions could include adding wetlands, more farmland or more businesses that aren't so fire-prone.

Another option is to introduce more broadleaf trees.

But transforming the entire forested area is a tall order in poor soils, said Guérin-Tarru, who wrote a report on the 2022 wildfires that displaced 22,000 people and destroyed 124 square miles of forest.

Bruce Lafon, regional president of the Forest Fire Defense Association, called for stronger wildfire prevention.

"We need larger, well-maintained firebreaks, even if that means sacrificing 1,000 or 2,000 hectares," he said. "Otherwise, we risk losing the Landes forest."

MUSIC REVIEW

Grande's 'Petal'

is pop star at her most restrained

BY MARIA SHEKMAN

Associated Press

Gone is the big-belter Ariana Grande. On "Petal," her eighth studio album and first full-length release since both the end of her "Wicked" run and 2024's "Eternal Sunshine," the pop powerhouse looks inward across 12 tracks of real restraint.

Lead single "Hate That I Made You Live Me," with its muted reception and shaky kook, offered a direct taste of the vibe shift to come. The track, which became Grande's 10th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, is marked by subdued vocal delivery that comes alive with its building, arpeggiated synths and soft- pop chores courtesy of Grande and her producers — Ilya Salmanzadeh, whom she has worked with since 2020's "Sweet-

Young Japanese

artists transform blackboards into dazzling displays

BY YURI KAOSYAMA

IN KOBASHIMA, JAPAN

Associated Press

The humble blackboard is serving as the canvas, and colorful chalk the paint, for young Japanese artists.

"Kokohan Art Kushimi" is an annual national chalk art championship for high school students. Combining the word for "blackboard" ("kokoban") and the fa- mone stadium where high school base- ball is contested, the contest attracts artworks, all draws on blackboards, sea- ally over summer break, from about 300 high schools and junior high schools.

Each work — many dazzling in their artistry and often dreamlike themes — is a collaborative endeavor bringing to- gether anywhere from one or two young- sters to dozens, all delivering a lesson in creativity and teamwork.

The images range from energetic de- pictions of dinosaurs, dogs and whales; popular manga scenes; Shokuni's Mount Paji or the Mona Lisa, as well as slices of everyday life, except they aren't all that everyday, such as an underwater chan- room.

Some works even show a person writ- ing on a blackboard.

Innovative and experimental art

Kazunari Minamishima, an art teach- er at the Saitama Prefectural High School of the Arts, whose students have taken part in the contest, believes it appeals to students because it offers the chance to be more experimental than established forms of art, such as oil painting and sculpture.

A new view on

deathbed visions

BY CAITLIN GIBSON

Late one night, about a week before my mother died of cancer, she lay awake and restless in a hospital bed that we'd placed on the first floor of my parents' house. She and my dad were the only ones home, but she suddenly saw other people in the room: her parents and my father's parents, all four of whom had died many years earlier. It felt so astoundingly real to her that she woke my fa- ther at 2 a.m. to tell him what had happened. She wasn't sure what to make of it, and — as someone who was both intensely frightened of death and determined not to speak of its immi- nence — she found the encounter unsettling. ¶ When my fa- ther shared this with me the following morning, I wasn't sure what to make of it, either. Our family is not religious, and I've always approached unexplained phenomena with a blend of openness and skepticism. At the time, consumed by dread and anticipatory grief, I did not find my mother's vision com- forting. What had she experienced? I didn't know, and not knowing scared me. SEE VISIONS ON B2

VIRGINIA FILMS B1

It wasn't the first time I'll heard of this sort of vision. Over the years, similar stories accumulated from friends and acquaintances, including those who worked in hospitals or hospice settings, I noticed the way these accounts were often shared in funded tours, presented by husband-dominance's focus-free this annual, fair...

American culture does not generally embrace discussion of our own mortality, or of the complexity of loss, even though these are the fundamental truths of our existence. We are uncomfortable with accounts of experiences that lack a concrete explanation or scientific consensus – and much about life's end remains unknowable.

But as both a successful and someone well known as the "dreams" we fascinated by accounts of end-of-life visions and convinced that the phenomenon raised certain questions that could be meaningfully answered. Specifically, how these visions shaped the experience of the world's past, and the setting and for their caregivers and loved ones.

My interest in the topic led me to Chris Kerr, a veteran physician and the chief medical officer for the wonderful organization Shupton & McCarthy and Robert L. Kerr, a groundbreaking research and decades-long experience during the dying patients were central to the project I reported on end-of-life dreams and visions, or ELDPA, in Shupton Buffalo, staff and the other staff. The first special note of "dreamers" – their informal texts for patients who are actively experiencing ELDPA – and Kerr and his staff agreed to let me know about anyone who might be open to sharing their stories.

Later, he called to tell me about one person in particular: 45-year-old Shirley Brydalski, who had arrived at Shupton Buffalo's inpatient unit, encouraged by her devoted daughter, Debbie Eichenowitz. In dreams and visions, Shirley was consistently seeing the beloved grandmother who raised her as a young girl and the idyllic farm where they'd lived together. But that cherished chapter of her childhood ended in a trauma she'd long kept secret – one she was only now disclosing to her daughter.

It is an exceedingly delicate thing to approach a dying person and their family to ask if they might be willing to be a perfect stranger spend time with them, particularly when time itself feels painfully fades. But Kerr explained that the vast majority of his patients were eager to share what they were experiencing – they often conveyed that they felt a sense of validation and connection in doing so – and this proved true of Shirley and Debbie. When I first spoke to Debbie, I emphasized that her family's well-being would come first, that I understood how vulnerable the final stage of life is, and that I intended to prioritize their needs.

I arrived in Buffalo just in time to share some of Shirley's last local hours. It was extraordinary to be present at her bedside as she described visions of the farm and her grandmother with clear, unwavering certain

ty. Shirley never used religious or mystical terms to explain what was happening; she never tried to explain it at all. It simply was: Whether anyone else understood it, whether anyone else believed it – that had no bearing on the very real way this experience was defining the final chapter of her life.

When The Washington Post published Shirley and Debbie's story, we also invited readers to share their own experiences with doubled dreams and visions. I felt optimistic that we might receive a few dozen submissions. We wound up with nearly 500.

I read them all. Both offered us own estimate, fleeting glimpse into the final weeks, days or hours of a life, with distinctive details – yet there were also commonalities that housed many of these stories together, and it was impossible to absorb them in their totality and not feel down moved. (I cried at my desk more than once.)

The submissions came from mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, friends, spouses, nurses and doctors. I was sure that all kinds of people and from places all over the world. They came from those who felt that end-of-life visions afforded their religious or spiritual beliefs, and from those who emphasized that they held no way to believe that all the accounts were recent, and others were decades old, the details still vivid in memory.

This collection of accounts is not a scientifically relevant or representative sample. Still, many of these stories are based on Shirley's Hospice Buffalo's research. A first analysis of the submissions found that deceased loved ones featured prominently in the visions roughly a quarter of the entries included a dying person who said they were almost two-thirds under one-fifth saw a sibling. Slightly fewer people reported visions of deceased灵魂ry and spouses. Pets made appearances, too. Among the visions that included animals, dogs were most common; one man reached out from his hospital bed to stroke the fur of the dog he'd lost years ago. Another elderly woman saw her father guiding her favorite childhood horse, saddled up and ready to ride.

I noticed numerous accounts of people who spoke of celebratory events – insisting that they were on their way to a party or that they could hear loved ones gathered nearby. One woman told the relatives at her bedside to move out of the way because they were blocking her view of a parade.

In my reporting, Kerr told me that researchers often heard patients describe themes related to loved and transportation, a consciously reflected in submissions prior to the Post. About a quarter referenced some form of travel. There were people who tried to pack outcases, who had visions of boom, trains or rowboats, who said that a loved one told them they would be arriving soon to take them on a trip. Numerous submissions also described dying people who appeared wholly immersed in visions of routine activities that were once part of their daily lives, behaving as if they were somewhere else entirely as they physically acted out familiar motions – making soap, loading a horse to a barn, playing an

organ at church, painting, casting a fishing line.

Not everyone was comforted by their dreams or visions. Better people wrote of whatever a patient was and found a sense of distressed; one woman (who is included among 10 selected stories published by The Post) shouted furiously the first time she seemed to converse with a vision of her long-duty mother.

But the majority of the accounts we received did seem to convey a sense of peace or solace. Over and over, people described the enduring impact of witnessing a dying person appear to interact with people they'd loved and lost. There was the elderly woman whose last words were a single, repeated refrain, spoken to someone only she could see: "I need you, Maure." There was the man who looked at the old people at the street on a regular morning, his voice brightening as he told her: "Every-ever's waiting."

What to make of all this? Anyone who encounters this phenomenon will surely have the same correspondence and the other. They personal to every one of us, because every one of us is going to die, and many of us have lost people we've loved.

When I asked Kerr what he makes of this, he said, "I was a member of setting for and studying 'dreamers' have convinced him that we are never as far as we might feel from the people, places and moments that meant the most to us. Through their dreams and visions, we gathered the most of the lives, from man and connected with those they'd been missing. Kerr has seen hospice patients experience profound emotional growth as well as clinically significant relief from mental and physical suffering. The most important experience is the end of their lives, he said, it feels 'like they are being just back together.'

Maybe this results from the rapidly firing synapses of a brain sheeting down. Maybe it is caused by something else entirely. There is no universally agreed upon explanation for why the phenomenon occurs. The dying left us only that it does, articulating us best they can – within the limitations of language – what they are perceived and they are.

In the end, I found myself once again wondering: What exactly did my mother experience?

I still don't know. But something has shifted, over months spent interested in these stories. The unanswerable questions remain, but I find more equipped to hold them with a sense of awe and possibility, rather than fear. There may be elements of the mystery we never understand – and others that give clearer, someday, should we find ourselves among the dreamers.

A GOOD NIGHTS, ACCUMULATED, EVERYTHING, HAPPY AND HAPPY, IN OUR NIGHTS.

Dear Miss Manners:

We received a wedding invitation for a wedding from my husband's nephew and bride to do. The artist for the

occasion is described as: "Shack for spiritual. Elegant, coastal chic. We ask that men wear jackets."

It is clear what my husband should wear, but do you have a suggestion for me to fulfill "elegant, coastal chic?" The wedding venue is a private club on the New England exercise.

And may I vent about my pet paves, if I promise to be the model of elegance and politeness at the wedding and reception? Our names on the occasion envelope were written as "Paul and Paulette Last Name" instead of "Mr. and Mrs. Paul Last Name" – or better (vs. "Dr. and Mrs. Paul Last Name"). We and several other family members are doctors.)

Even the father of the groom's name was written on his invitation as "Bill Last Name" rather than the more formal and elegant "William."

The nephew's parents are divorced and both are not willing to live in the reason that formality on the envelope did not quite meet the elegance mark.

No, we were on show. Miss Manners was so ready to have a good group about all the things these wedding hosts did wrong – and they ran went and listened to.

The state of one's marriage does not preclude elegance or formality, in the addressing of envelopes or otherwise. If anything is wrong, the divorced and remarried have had more chance to practice.

Nevertheless, you are correct that these particular hosts bungled it. The dress code, as you continued, is made up, so

"elegant, coastal chic" is whatever you want it to be. But if you need guidance, watch any of the special television shows and movies that the couple is no doubt trying to emulate. Long, flowy dresses on chic, badly-behaved woman seems to be the level.

But these again, you promised not to be one of these.

Dear Miss Manners: My wife and I were hosting dinner for a call from in a local restaurant. On arrival we saw another mutual friend, who also knew our guest. Those two-tailored for about 10 minutes while my wife and I were settled at the table. We had no qualms about that, since they had not seen each other in a long time.

At the end of the meal, we said that the two-tailored had happened on bad discreetly and our check before he left. We had no idea.

The next day I wrote him a sincere letter about my first meal myself, my wife and our friend. The question is whether our friend should also send a note, even though I wrote us (what I mean to, I mean) likely that his being there was the primary reason it happened.

Are you, as it were, asking for a friend?

As you were already taking this friend out for dinner, you were the host and the one who primarily benefited from the friends of the family. But manners, agrees that it would be gracious of your friend to thank the mutual-friend, but whether or not he does it out your concern. That you did it for him was even more than 5 days.

New Miss Manners columns are posted Monday through Saturday on watchsglasses for two/taches. You can start questions in May, June and at the website: misannemers.com. You can also follow for @RedHudExnews.

In Japan, blackboard art contest is a big hit

BLACKBOARDS FROM B1

"It's still a work in progress," he said.

The contest began in 2012 by Nichigaku Co., a Tokyo-based blackboard maker. The annual judging is done by examining the photos of the works, given that the medium, blackboards, can't be moved easily. The winners will be announced in November.

The use of blackboards for creating artworks existed before in the Japanese school system. It was a stunning replica of Da Vinci's "Last Supper" by an unknown artist on a school blackboard that caught Nichigaku's eye.

"Back then, there was graffiti, but there was no genre called blackboard art," said Nichigaku President Tomokiro Yoshida.

The contest doesn't really work as a direct marketing tool because schools already have blackboards. But some contestants become professional artists later, Yoshida added proudly.

Chalk powder gets scattered over the blackboard for an almost startled effort, thronging with fingers and tissue paper creates shadows and muted tones.

A skilled blackboard artist can depict the shiny translucence of a dragon's eyeball. One award-winning work used chalk powder retinal to water sprayed a la Jackson Pollock.

'Better friends while doing it'

All schools in Japan can enter the Kokubun Art Kushimi contest, including international schools. Nichigaku hopes the contest can expand overseas some day.

But unlike the paint-on-walls graffiti of the West, blackboards can be erased. The students get permission from the schools to draw on the blackboards in advance, reflective of Japan's conformist orderly culture.

"The challenge of trying to sort out the conflicting opinions of my two collaborators is the biggest memory about taking part in blackboard Kushimi, as opposed to doing your own artwork," said Kento Mizumi, who took part in the contest as a high school student and now works at Shiba-gaku.

It's harder than you think, and he and his friends devoted several days to one drawing. Mizumi recalled, demonstrating how to draw an apple with chalk on a blackboard.

"I want young people today to go through the experience," he said.

It was exactly the kind of brainstorming that was going on among a huddle of several students at the Kanagawa Girls' High School, north of Tokyo, in nearby Shitomo Prefecture.

They were taking part in the contest for the first time, although their upper grade schoolmates have taken part and was prizes in the past.

"I see it as a chance to deepen my relationships with my schoolmates. ... But even if we don't win, it'd have been worth it as long as we become better friends."

Chiba Minamiya, one of the students competing in "Kokubun Art Kushimi" this year

An annual national chalk art championship for high school students in Japan offers the chance to be more experimental than established forms of art, such as oil painting and sculpture.

"I see it as a chance to deepen my relationships with my schoolmates," said Chiba Minamiya, one of the students. "It's our first time so I'm not sure we will be able to do a good job. But even if we don't win, it'd have been worth it as long as we become better friends while doing it."

Lesson on the impermanence of life

Among the ideas discussed for this year's entries were what they called parodies or spin-offs of well-known artworks like Bonsai, juxtaposed with images of high school students in their uniforms, their skirts flattering.

A blackboard may be a long-time familiar object in classrooms. But drawing art on them with chalk is different from using paints or pencils. Ninomiya said, so they are still learning, drawing, rubbing, wiping.

It can be heartbreaking when the ordinarily created pieces get erased. But the artists are able to share that heartbreak with their collaborators.

Proponents say it's a great educational tool to deliver the lesson on the impermanence of life, the fragility of creation and the courage to keep going. The when the work gets erased is the moment that the art is considered to be truly complete.

Breastfeeding mom dreads enduring intrusive comments while at family reunion

Carolyn Hax

Adapted from an online discussion

Dear Carolyn: I have to take my kids to at least part of my bisexual family reunion. Three reunions ago, I

had an exclusively breastfed 4-month-old, and certain relatives gave me endless grief about all the inconveniences it created "for them". They couldn't hold the baby whatever they wanted to, they had to keep crumbling me to remove myself or cover up, back in their day, they had already introduced solids by that age. Sick Nick kids. It was a deeply unpleasant weekend for me because of that.

This year, I have a 16-month-old who still breastfeeds, and I am dreading the comments. My husband has promised to run interference, but the women in

my family are unbelievably skilled at waiting for him to leave the room before they start harassing me. My dread is so intense that I've been thinking about backing out! Can you talk me out of it and maybe arm me with some good defenses for meddlesome family members? — Dreading the Comments

Dreading the Comments: The best defense is to recognize these people are jackkoles. Broadcasting a nursing mother? What the revolving can book with these people. Every single one of their opinions is wrong, dated, upgradual, irrelevant or all four. Not to mention in direct opposition to the one contaminated governing people in new parents' orbit: Be supportive or shot up. If you're not to a point yet where you can see this, emotionally speaking, then can you get those in time for the

reunion?

I can suggest a few handy phrases to approximate that state of mind: "Him" ("This again?" "That is not helpful. I have to be tuitions, and they will fly away.")

I'm sorry you were born into such a corrupted sisterhood, because a good one can be so nourishing. In quiet moments at the reunion, maybe draw strength from a vision of being a much better example and ally to future moms in your clan.

Readers' thoughts:

«I get that you want to be helpful, but I'm done talking about this. How's (XYZ) doing?" Politely cut them off at the knees (died, no, they may not be trying to help, but this prototype that inevitably defines.)

«I had my first child at 40, and everyone had an opinion about my age, my choices, etc. I worked up an answer that both had a little grace and shut off the

discussion: "Isn't it wonderful that we all get to make the choices that work for us?" I practiced it as the outcry until it came out naturally, with a small smile. My daughter is 10 now, and it hasn't failed me yet.

«Good grief. You are a grown woman with a family and cannot say NO!" No, we will NOT be attending this (or any other) year. Because I CAN'T WANT TO. It's too much with the baby." Period. No other explanation. It's not a subpoena. NO is the single greatest word on the planet. Make best friends with it.

«Don't waste leisure time on people who treat you badly.

Provide Saturday columns focus on the basic technique and logical thinking.

You're discover at today's four hours. West, who opened the building one heart, coalesce the A4 of hearts and leads a trump. You show trump's Zani had 1-5. To make your game, you must play the clubs for one team. You can finesse with your queen—East and move the king—and you can take the ace and lead a low club, fearing West, who opened the kick in King, has K-4.

Which play do you choose? Remember you dig for information: Lead your queen of diamonds. If West has the king, he will surely count. When he actually plays, too, you can place East with the king—so West must have the king of clubs. So his opening kick

You may start finesse in clubs. You cash the ace and lead a low club, and when the king appears from West, you win the rest.

This deal is really not "simple." So if you aspire to expect status and want the most enjoyment from the games, "bad playing" is a skill to cultivate.

DAILY QUESTION

You look:

● 0.975

● 0.975

The dealer, at your left, opens one heart. Your partner decides, and the next heart falls two hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER: Further has opening values with help for the united suits, especially spaces. But two spaces. You have enough to understand at the best best, even though your queen of hearts may be worthless for offense. If you pass, the opponents may make two hearts when you make two spaces.

Turning up the heat No. 1 seed de Minaur is ousted by U-Va. alum Nakashima in oppressive DC Open quarterfinal BY BRADLEY JOHNSON For the first time since the DC Open expanded to include a women's event in 2015, the four top seeds on both the men's and women's sides advanced to Friday's quarterfinals. In a tournament that typically features a large handful of sports, as players often need to settle back in from breaks they took after Wimbledon and the weather is usually extremely hot. It was a relatively temperate start to the week. The temperature kicked up Friday, in both respects. The sun beat down with more intensity, and on the court, No. 1 seed Alex de Minaur was knocked out by Brandon Nakashima, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, who is chasing his first title at an ATP 500 event. Nakashima, 24, isn't a D.C. native — he grew up in San Diego — but he went to the University of Virginia, which has made him an adaptive fan favorite in Washington. "Any time when you get to have a deep run at one of these U.S. tournaments, it's always a good feeling," Nakashima said. "Especially playing in front of the U.S. crowd and especially here, all the U-Va. fans. Super happy that I'm in the semis." "All credit to him," de Minaur said. "He came out with some great serving, a lot of first serves . . . I was probably playing better, having better stats or top in the first set, and it just slipped away. Then all of a sudden, in the second set I've got my chances. Break points, just can't convert.

His ability to stay even-loaded has helped him excel in his return to MLB after three years in Japan. Even when the left-hander is having a bad start — and he hasn't had many — his Washington Nationals teammates and manager have remarked that he's still the same fire. But Griffin's voice did quiver, ever so slightly, when he was asked what his time with the Nationals has meant to him after what could have been his final start for the team. It was far from his sharpest — he allowed six runs in 19; innings as the Nationals fell to the Atlanta Braves, 6-2, suffering their third straight loss and falling below 200 (35-56). With Monday's trade deadline inching closer, Griffin's fate rests in the hands of the Nationals' front office. "I'm human, right?" Griffin said. "It's not sure.

Infantino's decision came after his senior advisor who sat on a White House panel resigned and Asia's soccer body joined Europe and North America in opposing it. "Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place," Infantino said in a statement Friday. "Our purpose has always been — and will always be — to unite and improve. As a result, this proposal will not proceed." Infantino had proposed creating a $10 billion company to run the World Cup — with private investors including the Kashmir family — but drew backlash that grew every day since Tuesday's announcement.

The Wizards said Watkins underwent surgery Thursday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. It was performed by Riley J. Williams (R), the chief of the hospital's Sports Medicine Institute. The 6-foot-6 Watkins was a second-round pick in the 2010 draft out of Florida State, and he signed a two-way contract with the Wizards. He played in 50 games as a rookie, starting seven, and averaged 7.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 30.0 minutes.

Nas Hillman added 39 points for Atlanta (39-40), and Alibaba Gage scored 36. Jones chipped in 34 points off the bench, and Aredita Casada had 10 points and nine assists. Kiyue Howard, averaging 27.2 points per game, was held to nine points out of 63 shortings. Suzieka Hoshman's 23 points led the way for Seattle (4-25), which has lost eight straight. Smackinge Malenga had 10 points and 23 rebounds, and Ed Maghigher scored 12 off the bench. The Toronto Tempo acquired forward Hannah Marrow from the Connecticut Sun for a second-round draft pick in 2020 and the right to Maria Khandikova. Marrow is averaging 11.6 points and 8.9 rebounds in 22 minutes per game this season. The two double-double are tied for eighth in the WNBA. Khandikova played 34 games with the Minnesota Lynx last season and averaged 4.4 points among rebounds. The Tempo chose her in the expansion draft.

Harrus Ryu and Evans a double story on the par 3 fifth with five birdies for a second-round 69 at Royal Lytham & St. James. Ryu leads in bid for third straight major title ASSOCIATED PRESS LITTAH BY. JONES, ENGLAND — Harran Ryu birdied No. 10 to complete a 2-under-par 69 for a one-shot lead after two rounds of the Women's British Open on Friday as the South Korean star pursues a third consecutive major victory. The evercame a tough start — including a double bogey on the par-3 fifth — to help the birdies and coach 'under overall at Royal Lytham & St. James. Shibu Kuwaki of Japan was one shot back after her 70, and overnight leader Jomo Thitikul and Nsubui Noh were tied for third, both two strokes behind first. "I'm just trying to have fun on the course because this course is [very] stressful," Ryu said, citing "a lot of bouncer" plus wholly conditions. Not since Selon Park in 2010 has anyone claimed three straight majors, Ryu won the Women's PGA at Huazitina in June and closed with 60 to win the Erran Championship in July. "I'll not get a lot of great players in here, so that's why I just want to think about my golf," she added. "Because this Korean star, coming off wins at Women's PGA and Erran, is 7 under at British Open is a major, nobody knows what comes up." Thitikul, still in pursuit of her first victory at a major, brought a two-stroke lead over Kuwaki and Ryu into day two but made three bogeys in her 72. "I'm not hitting like us close to the pin as yesterday," Thitikul said. "Maybe the pin position was kind of hard, too." Kuwaki led after her birdie on 10 and following Thitikul's second bogey of the day — on the par-3 10th when the Thai star's putt for par didn't drop. Noh bounced back from a double bogey on the par-4 fourth with back-to-back birdies in her 70. Thitikul, one of only two players to have been No. 1 in the women's world ranking without ever having won a race, led a bogey-free 69 in the first round but didn't give herself a good birdie unperturably Friday until the par-3 12th, where she stilled in from six feet to eight, a share of the lead at the time at 4 under overall. With Kuwaki in the clubhouse, Thitikul then left a shot back on the 14th when the unspipped a birdie putt before winning from four feet on her second putt, ending with her third bogey. Thitikul limited the damage, though, on the 15th when she saved par with a long putt. "I definitely ... get frustrated sometimes," Thitikul said. "I get really frustrated when I three-putts on it and then I only up on like the border on 15. I was, like, so frustrated out there." Thitikul has been overlooked during the LPGA major season dominated by Ryu and Nelly Korda, who split the first four titles. Korda, who replaced Thitikul at No. 1 in April, won the first two majors, and Ryu won the next two. Kuwaki had three straight birdies early in her round but unattended them with bogeys. She dropped another shot on the 13th. Korda trails by six shots after her 69 on Friday. TELEVISION AND RADIO The Washington Post did not include the weekend TV and radio listings in Friday's edition.

A lighter, more agile Williams could have the Bears on the fast track in 2026 Chicago's quarterback improved offseason diet in shed 10 to 15 pounds BY NEAN HANSHOND CHICAGO — Caleb Williams is ready to move. After the first practice of training using Wednesday the Chicago Bears quarterback said he lost 10 to 12 pounds over the offseason. The goal is to be more agile both inside the pocket and when he breaks loose. "I'm excited about that, to be able to move a little bit better, be smoother," said Williams, a former high school star at Gunnaga in D.C. Since entering the NFL as the No. 1 draft pick in 2024, Williams always has been a thicker quarterback. The Bears list him at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, but teams don't update those figures on their official money very often. Williams also was listed at 228 pounds last season. As a rookie in 2024, the Bears had him at 210. Williams said the biggest thing that helped him drop weight was organized a schedule. He spent plenty of time training in the offseason, but he also made sure to schedule relaxation time. Focusing on his diet and the timing of his meals was a big factor. "Eating at certain times," Williams said, "trying to bed and eat eating after 7.5oz eating consistently, eating well." Mobility always has been a big part of Williams's game. While he's not a running quarterback in the mold of Michael Vick of a 1 star Jackson, he does run when he needs to. His diet is taking cards last season ranked seventh among quarterbacks. He scored 27 rushing touchdowns over three seasons of college football. But his game is less about pain running and more about using his mobility to avoid would-be lackages. While Williams scrambled, usually he's still looking to throw. Lucki on further than the fourth-and-eight completion he made in the playoff comeback against the Green Bay Packers in January. With Chicago trailing in the fourth quarter and the game essentially on the line, Williams escaped the pocket and jumped to avoid a defender's grasping arm, then connected with wide receiver Rome Okkuno for a first down. Still photos showed a leap reminiscent of the Michael Jordan marginals high. A less mobile quarterback never would have made that play. Williams known his mobility is one of the greatest assets. "There's really nothing, I don't think, that he can't do," Bears Coach Ben Johnson said. "The MARK KATZ/STOCK, 2024 "There's really nothing, I don't think, that he can't do," said Bears second-year coach Ben Johnson of his third-year quarterback. dite arm talent, playmaking ability, encapsidity — you know, he has his legs that he can hurt a defense with. I mean, there's just so many layers to who he is as a player." Johnson said he wants to see more consistency throughout games. Even when the Bears were winning last season and pulling off mincedosa comebacks, there were stretches early in games when Williams and the offense would get in a rut. "You see flashes of it," Johnson said, "and yet we're trying to tap into that where we're consistently delivering the ball where it needs to go." Williams continued to work over the offseason with private quarterback coach Will Hewlett and sports performance coach Tom Gormley, both of whom he has worked with for several years. With an increased understanding of Johnson's offense and what the coach needs from his quarterback, Williams bested his private workouts to fit the Bears offense. Hewlett and Gormley then helped him through some of the minutiae of the position when a throw was off the reach or the timing wasn't quite right. "So if I miss a ball inside, why did I miss?" Williams said. "Signifying out that feeling so that if it shows up in a game, practice, it's me being able to adjust and correct." Williams has graduated from the basics of Johnson's offense. Johnson noted that he's happy with Williams's understanding of all the things that have to happen before the snap. The real growth potential is after the snap. Johnson mentioned coverage recognition and anticipation. A 70 percent completion percentage always will be the goal. Johnson said, but the Bears aren't necessarily expecting Williams to hit that mark this year. The New England Patriots' Drake Mays was the only quarterback to surpass 70 percent last season. "You're going to have a darn good offense if your quarterback's completely hit the ball, or the balls thrown," Johnson said. Williams's 10.1 percent completion percentage ranked 22nd among 12 qualified quarterbacks in 2025, according to Pro Football Reference. That was down from 63.5 percent as a rookie and 68.8 percent during his final outrage season at CBC. The little things will help him improve in that area. Familiarity with the system helps, too. "Part of it is just confidence in the offense," Williams said. "In the sense of knowing where I'm supposed to go with the ball, not second-guessing, being decisive, eyes being in the right spot." And when things break down, Williams believes his slimmer frame will help him avoid trouble. In a rookie, Williams took a league-high-10mash. For a variety of reasons, including significant improvement on the offseason line, he was racked just 24 times last season. He proved tough to bring down, and the goal is to be even more slippery in 2026. "We all know that he has that ability to put on that Superman cape when the time calls for it," Johnson said. And Superman just got a little more agile. — Chicago Tribune de Minaur exits in D.C.; Pegula, Osaka march on DC OFFER TO US BY that's the match." Nakashima will face third-seeded Taylor Fritz, a 6-1, 6-6, 7-6 (9-6) winner over Alex Michelson, in one semifinal Saturday. In other men's action, Rafael Jodez upset fourth-seeded Lorenzo Musetti, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, and will face either second-seeded Ben Shelton or Alejandro Taités, who played later Friday, in the semifinals. Josario Pegula, the women's No. 1 seed and ranked No. 1 in the world, originally didn't plan to play in Washington. In the two week gap after Wimbledon, she had two weddings to attend and "like, five sponsored things" to travel for. The DC Open, the first of the American best-court tournaments, was in the U.S. Open, wasn't high on her priority list. But the 2020 winner ultimately opted to attend, accepting a wild card into the field after losing to the Wimbledon quarterback. Now, Pegula is into the semifinals against fourth-seeded Diana Bissarier after beating more Kalinskaya on Friday afternoon, 6-3, 7-1. Bissarier knocked off Lindorla Damassova, 6-3, 6-7. "I feel pretty good," Pegula said after the match. "Is lot more straightforward I think, than yesterday's match. Still tricky, though. Especially at the end. But, yeah, don't never react to play, so if I can get away with a win against her that's more straightforward than usual, that's a pretty good day for me." As the No. 1 seed, Pegula had a toy through the first round and didn't play her opener until Thursday. Her needed three sets to beat unseeded Magdalena Frech in that match, then looked more comfortable and assured against Kalinskaya. "I really didn't play after Wimbledon for, like, 10, 15 days, almost 23 days," Pegula said. "Then, of course, I was so out down that when I got back, I got sick... So I think the extra day have helped. I think also it not being as hot here really helped. I remember I looked at the weather because I was just more worried about not playing, coming back, being sick, and then being thrown into Washington, where it's really hot historically. "But I saw that it was going to be a little cooler, and I was like, 'Okay, maybe I can push through this week and be okay.'" Though Friday brought much warmer temperatures and far too brown than Pegula's match Thursday, her victory over Kalinskaya took a brisk 1 hour 10 minutes, so she didn't have to spend much time out in the heat. Alex de Minaur hits a backhand during his quarterfinal loss to Brandon Nakashima in the DC Open. "All credit to him," de Minaur said. Naomi Osaka, the No. 2 seed, needed 2:15 to beat Elizabetha Costanzo, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Osaka will face Alexandra Rala, who ousted second-seeded Elina Srebelina, 6-3, 6-4. "Today, I don't know. I feel like it was tough," Osaka said. "Overall this match was really tough, and it felt more like a mental match than an actual break match. I don't feel like I played that well, but it was more like, fighting through every point... The vibes are high, but I hope that my next round I will play a lot better." Get more with Premium.

B11 Steve McNutt It's not easy. The last week or so, it is what it is," said Foster Griffin, who has been in trade rumors. Griffin's potential final outing is a dud NATIONWIDE POST or so, it is what it is. We're professionals, right? I still have to go out there and get and execute. That's not an excuse for how things went tonight, but that's just the situation I'm in right now! Like the since-traded Curtis Moad, Griffin is a success story for the new and the 2024 World Just President of Baseball Operations. Paul Tolson left outset emotional pride in the work Washington and Moad had put in to turn his career around, and a bit of sadness slipping it all away. But he had to balance that feeling with business, and acquiring Connelly Early is a major boost to a ballistic pitching task. Now, the Nationals must decide what to do with Griffin. His situation isn't as clear cut as Moody, White Washington had Brady House - a former Ohio-based part - ready to replace Moad at third base, the team doesn't have ample pitching it can rely on, even with Griffin still in the equation. He has been the stalwart of the rotation: Even after Friday's rough outing, he has pitched to a 3.0M RIA while averaging nearly six innings per start, he also was selected to hit first all-out team and has become an integral part of the clubhouse, taking younger pitchers such as Cule Cavalli and Andrew Alvarez under his wing. "It's not even about pitching," Griffin said when he reflected on what it's meant to be on the Nationals. "It's kind of just about the camaraderie in this clubhouse we've created - the culture is here is great. I feel like the team has a lot of bright stars in here and a lot of up-and-coming stars as well, something that'll be able to compete in this division and the league for a long time." Griffin doesn't have social media, but he still knows the situation. When he walked into the stadium Friday, he jokingly asked whether he was still starting after the New York Mets scratched Freddy Presby and the Detroit Tigers did the same with Casey Mize. Like Griffin, they are trade back teams who could be moved before Monday's deadline. There were signs from the start that Friday wasn't Griffin's day. He got up a solo home two to Matt and Greg and first having on a first-pitch cutter right down the middle. An inning later, Dan Jarvis's RBI single made it 3:0 in Braves. In the fourth inning, CJ Abrams hit a solo shot, his 2016, runner of the season, to get Washington on the board. Griffin faced the minimum in the second and fifth innings, but things succeeded in the sixth as the Braves gave more aggressive swinging and exercising on first pitches. After a double-turned-back, the single from Chris Odom Michael Harris II hit a three-run home run on the third pitch of the inning to give the Braves a 3:1 lead. Mauricio DeSio followed with a single before Griffin finally got the first out by striking out Austin Riley, but the damage had already been done. "Going back out for the sixth with the heart of the order, I felt like I definitely had some work to do because I felt like they were made resting on another 100th hit better than usual," Griffin said. Trevor Williams took over, sitting in a run on another Jarvis single. The right-hander, in his second appearance back from an internal brace procedure in his elbow, finished the game for Washington without allowing another run. The Nationals had their chance to make it interesting, but for the second game in a row, they failed to produce in big situations. They went it for 9 with runners in scoring position, making them 4 for 17 this series.

As Griffin walked off the second in the sixth inning with his head low, his thoughts were on his frustrating outing, not where his next start will be. Like every one else, he's just waiting to set what will happen at the deadline. If this was the end of his time with the Nationals, he said he's thankful they took a chance on him and appreciative of his teammates for the support they have lost. "As of right now, I'm a player for the Tide," Griffin said. "In a few days, we'll see where I am. I'll be grateful for any opportunity whether I'm still here and we're going to try and do this thing, or I'm with another team.

BY STEVE MILLAGUE In the debate over which college football conference is strongest, the SEI argues its superior depth makes up for the Big Ten winning the past three national titles. The Big Ten calls its reputation as a top team's conference unfair. Commissioner Tony Petitti considers those three College Football Playoff championships - from Michigan in 2023, Ohio State in 2024 and Indiana in 2025 - both marks to the Big Ten's strength from top to bottom. "You cannot read your top teams out into the CFP unless they're played - and have them be successful, which we have been very successful - if they're not going through a [gamble] to the regular season," Petitti said this week. "This takes that the middle of the conference isn't hard to just not right." The balance of power between college football's heavyweight conferences has been a major role in sport at the league' media days. Petitti spoke to reporters while standing beside the Big Ten's their recent CFP trophies. Illinois CCF has a defense and the team was living in the past, Indiana Coach Curt Cigwell said "there's no doubt" the Big Ten is best. "The numbers speak for them. I've been a good, 'We have a run a hope machine up here in the Midwest. We believe everything is earned, not given. When we fall short, we say, 'We fall short.' We don't cry a river, where and even plain. That's why we've the best." SEC Commissioner Greg Hankey argued his longest case a week earlier. "I'm not back at our schools, so you has created the kind of weekly competition that exists in the Southeastern Conference," Hankey said. The SEC schools contributed to win 15 national titles from 2000 to 2022, but no team from the conference has reached any of the past three championships games. In the first two years under a 15 most CFP format, seven SEC schools have made a confidence eight playoff appearances. The Big Ten had four schools total seven playoff berths. Certain metrics support the idea that the 50-mean SEC is more "The numbers speak for themselves," said Indiana Coach Curt Cigwell. "We don't run a hope machine up here in the Midwest." ger than the 10-school Big Ten at the bottom. ESPN's Bill Connell produces the IFA rankings, a predictive measure ratings and team's efficiency while adjusting for tempo and cut opponent's strength. The Big Ten had three of the top five teams in the 2019 season-coding IFA rankings, while the SEC had unlikely to be top five. But seven Big Ten programs ranked below the lowest SEC team on the list. No. 47 Kentucky. Over the past two seasons, the Big Ten were the first two teams in the 2019, including a 3-0 playoff record and a 3-2 mark in other two games. The Big Ten won an an unslotted 16 all the of those non-playoff games. Illinois produced two of those teams, beating South Carolina in the Citrus Bowl in 2024 and defeating Tennessee in the Music City in 2025. In 2025, the Illinois had reason to feel good about himself and his conference this week when he commented that SEC had been "hard of want to live in 2000 thereon." The 2000 reference was curious because Texas won the title that season when it was still a Big 12 number, a year before the SEC had been the first two two straight titles. Believes said he chose 2005 because that's the year before his head coaching career began at Wisconsin. "The transfer period and revenue share or NIL, however you want to describe it - when those two elements came into college football, the whole world changes," said Believes, who were 25-24 while coaching SEC school defeats in the 2012-13. "I mean, it's overly obvious to top that, but I think anything is precise that I just a different time in college football. It just is." Fourteen of the 22 playoff games over the past two years featured Big Ten teams, including two in which conference rivals faced off. Six months even Big Ten coaches with SEC backgrounds claim bringing right. "I just look at what the rules are, you know, and the last three years, the national champion has come out of this conference," said Paulsen Barry Olson, who was 20-20 at Missouri from 2018 to 2026. "You also look at the number of playoff wins compared to any other conference, we've won two or many or the next conference in the playoffs." UCLA quarterback Nico Iannacen has experience playing in the 2024 conference and defeating the playoff with Tennessee in 2024. "I think it's two great leagues - two great, physical leagues," Iannacen said. "I think it's one being a lot of physicality, but over the years, it's kind of leveled out in terms of the playing field. "I think everybody is able to get right-level athletes. . . . I think there's definitely a lot of tough SEC teams, so that every week is going to be a game, but I feel the same way to the Big Ten." The intensity of the debate from team coaches eager to settle it on the field - perhaps with more head-to-head markings. "You never hear in the 30%, those the NFL's better than the APC," Washington Coach Jedyl Peck said. "The don't ever hear. 'Check so out, we've won the Super Bowl' the last few years. We've kind of made this some competition rather than just take a step back and say, 'Who cares? Let's play.'" Associated Press Luke DeCock contributed to this FIFA withdraws World Cup equity plan FIFA FOOD BY North America's CFPACACAF and the Asian Football Confederation also said they opposed the plan. "World Cup is a good, very important to win," CEFA said in a statement. "The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. It always will, had to bring in Europe has a voice, it will never be the start." Infantries's entire advisor, Can See Coetzee, a former Goldman Sachs banker who represented the soccer body on the White House task force for the World Cup, resigned Friday and urged other senior FIFA staff to speak out. "I cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup," Coetzee said in a statement, just hours after FIFA insisted: "Nobody is selling football." Hours later, FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Larson issued a statement to the AF saying FIFA staff were deceived by fishermen's lack of openness in planning the sale over recent months and that the project must not continue. "It is the group of one person," wrote Larson, a longtime colleague of Infantries at both FIFA and European soccer body CEFA. "Not only must this project not go ahead ... but the time has now come for football political leaders to ask themselves the right questions and make the right decisions." Infantries has proposed opening off FIFAs commercial businesses - including World Cup and Club World Cup for men and women - into a $20 billion subsidiary with 20 percent owned by private investors. The "earliest investors," described by FIFA, is a New York-based investment firm created by Justice Kaufman, the younger brother of U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kaufman. The next FIFA competition is the Women's Under-20 World Cup starting July. I'm Poland - which CEFA members said they would benefit. The missing could prove costly for Infantries, particularly after the intervention by Larson and Coetzee. Rocketed unopposed in 2020 and 2021, Infantries is allowed one more four-year term under FIFA mission. The deadline for the next presidential session is Nov. 18, exactly four months ahead of the vote to Babel, Morocco, where FIFA has its African headquarters. Infantries's job around interest despite long-term unseen with his style and previous attempts to form through unpopular projects, but it could become more tenuous with the failed private equity program. Rulings challenge NCAA on eligibility NCAA FOOD BY arguments July 22, also ordered that the transfer portal open at noon Monday until 9 a.m. Aug. 20 for any player wanting to enter and choose waiting points. The NCAA entered the AP to a conference from President Charlie Baker on X on proposed legislation in regular college sports. Baker said the "chase" from Friday's rulings are why it's "long past time" leaders in college sports and for the immediate passage of the Present College Sports Act. "Rated professionals will continue to see college sports as a fullback. They - where they may close of young athletes of college scholarships," Baker said.

Washington, who played last season at Vanderbilt, was the first plaintiff in the complaint filed July 8 by the Texas Trial Group seeking the injunction.

"Snekes," the Texas Trial Group posted on social media with a scrafford of the credit.

The Vanderbilt's order also enjured the NCAA from enforcing its rule of institution against the athletes and colleges they play for this season.

The Washington Post METRO SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2026 43 46 B13 At Camp David, Trump lashes out at political enemies BY DAN DEARBOND President Donald Trump on Friday held what the administration said was the first televised Cabinet meeting at Camp David, assembling his deputies at the secure wooded retreat to tout the administration's accomplishments. But the rural Maryland setting, long used by presidents for sensitive private meetings or as a tranquil escape, swiftly became the latest stage for Trump's frustrations over a series of stalled elements and foreign policy initiatives. Trump railed against Republi- can senators blocking his nominee for attorney general, lamented the collapse of his proposed $1.8 billion Justice Department parent fund, questioned whether Iran was negotiating a potential ceasefire in good faith and warned that Democrats would open U.S. borders if they won the uniform elections. He again lashed out at Sen. John Corrum (R-Trans), one of several GOP lawmakers to resist Trump's policies as his popularity drops and the uniforms approach. Corrum — who lost his primary bid this year after Trump endorsed his opponent — has CRITICIZES GOP SENATOR, IRAMAN LEADERS The president also said it was the first televised Cabinet meeting from the rustic compound in Md. joined with other lame duck senators to hold up acting attorney general Todd Blanche's nomination for the full-time position. Corrum has "become a very angry person," Trump said, also praising Blanche, his former personal attorney. "Todd Blanche is a very, very good man, and he shouldn't be in the middle of this." The president's remarks Friday, which echoed similar complaints he has made in person and on social media, were most striking because of the unusual backdrop. The media has historically not been allowed to visit Camp David, and reporters who covered Friday's Cabinet meeting were told to leave their cellphones outside the room, because it was a secure information facility. However, the White House allowed several live video streams of the meeting, and photographers were permitted to take pictures. The president and White House officials said it was the first televised Cabinet meeting from the rustic compound. Trump in May had planned a Cabinet meeting at the site but cancelled it, citing the risk of bad weather. Camp David, which is about 60 miles north of Washington, was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1842 as a secure presidential retreat during World War II. Roosevelt doomed it "Shangri-La," after a fictional paradise in the Himalayas. About a decade later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower renamed the compound Camp David, in honor of his grandson, drawing some derision. The site has been used by past presidents to hurt foreign leaders, review sensitive intelligence and break away from the day-to-day pressures of the presidency. Joe Biden, Trump's predecessor, was particularly fond of biking and walking the camp's trails. Trump spent time at Camp David in his first term but has pre- 333 CAMP DAVID ON B14 JULIE GEMMIEZ MANOR/ALAP FAST CARS, BIG CROWDS What to know about the Freedom 250 Grand Prix street race that will wind around the National Mall in August BY RACHEL KERZUS Washington, D.C., has already had a summer full of events related to America's 200th birthday — and there's still more to come. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix — a first-of-its-kind auto race on the streets around the National Mall — is happening Aug. 22 and 23. President Donald Trump established the event with an executive order in January. On Wednesday, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), flashed by a dozen local and federal officials as well as the president of organizer Penske Corp., shared details of preparations for the event and how it will affect Washingtonian. Fast speeds, big crowds The 1.68-mile, seven-turn course will begin on Third Street SW, right by the Capitol Reflecting Pool. It will also go up Pennsylvania Avenue, around the National Archives, hitting Ninth and Seventh streets, before turning onto Independence Avenue and looping back to Third, with drivers expected to hit speeds of 181 mph. Compare that to the typical 24-mph speed limit. Organizers expect DELUXE attendees per day, including 70,000 within the race circuit.

Bill proposed by Rep. James Comer blindsided D.C. officials BY PAUL SCHWARTZMAN Until recently, D.C. officials had viewed Rep. James Comer as that new Republican candidate. He was too cold work, an impression validated by the congressman's active support for the Washington Commanders returning to a rebuilt RFK final. That sense of goodwill was recently operated when Comer (Kentucky) proposed a measure that local officials describe as the marked threat to the city's autonomy in recent memory — a bill requiring that D.C. lawmakers get congressional approval before raising or lowering taxes and fees. Comer's proposal blindsided local lawmakers even as their aides communicate regularly with their counterparts who work for the congressman, who presides over the city as chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "I'm developing a working relationship with the congressman and he doesn't even mention that he's thinking about this or ask me what I think about it," D.C.'s Council Chair Phil Mendelson (D) groaned during a telephone interview. The chairman warned that Comer's proposal, if passed by the House and Senate, would impinge on an essential role of any government — the ability to raise revenue. "It strutipalerts District government, it obviates economic development, and it limits our ability to control spending," Mendelson said. He also fears that the congressional interference could lead Wall Street to lower D.C.'s credit rating, making it more expensive Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) introduced the measure three months before the uniform elections. for the city to borrow money. "This is a really bad bill," he said. Although preliminary discussions about the tax legislative began in May, the Oversight committee started drafting the bill June 17, the day after council member, Janssen Lewis George (D-Ward 4) won the manuscript primary tax mayor, all but guaranteeing that she will succeed D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D). An aroused democratic socialist, Lo-wa George's comparison as a political force in D.C. has made for the focus of Republican attacks, including from President Donald Trump, who has called for a "commander." Comer introduced the bill three months before the uniform elections, the results of which will 333 CONER'S BILL ON B14 TODAY'S MEATHER 8 a.m. Noon 4 p.m. 8 p.m. 76' 86' 90' 84' High speed, 6 speed, 4 a.m. 8:30 Precip 8% Wind 5 7:15 mph For weather news, go to B15 DISTURLEY Arlene Smith, lead singer of a pioneering '50s girl group, was 84. 815 B14 ED 40 40 THE WASHINGTON POST - SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2006 Trump offers familiar complaints CAMP DAVID FRON REG ferred visiting his own properties recently and is set to speak the weekend at his resort in Redminster. New Jersey. He turned his decision Friday to trade the in-creamingly gold-fettered White House for the 1962. That's a total of the presidential retreat, located in Cameira Mountain Park. "This room is a very, very special room," Trump said, as the meeting began. "A too I believe the previous ever come are when near it, but we are the party of transpances!" For the first 40 minutes of Friday's meeting, Trump and several deputies highlighted his policies, such as efforts to negotiate lower drug prices, while sometimes stopping to admire their own crossdrugs. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that he had been to Camp David more than 60 years earlier, when his uncle John F. Kennedy was president and his father was attorney general. The first 40 minutes of Friday's meeting, the clinic level this place," the health secretary said, contending that John F. Kennedy resented Eisenhower's decision to resume the 1962 election. "I think he's named 'B'hangri-La," had he had a second term. Trump's Cabinet members, as they have at past meetings, also took the opportunity to lavish praise on the president. Defense Secretary Pete Hogarth credited Trump for policies that he said had boosted morale in the military, including the president's effort to rebrand the department as the "Department of War" and putting the "B" and who has to pursue the "B" flyovers to celebrate the nations 2000's anniversary. "Paradox, 200 (anniversary) flyovers, the American people seeing and feeling their military to ways they have not in the past," Hogarth said. "That's quick!" Other parts of the meeting, including Trump's exchange with its workers, focused on the president's subjugations over a variety of issues, including the defense against food. Trump had said the food would compensate people who claim they were improperly investigated by the government, but Democrats and some GOP lawmakers said the food could inappropriate or reward people such as the "B" and the "B" flyovers. U. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2025, a federal judge has warned the administration not to resurrect the plan. Trump said Friday that the payment of $1,000 was $1,000, adding that he wished it would be resurrected but claiming that he didn't want to personally benefit from it. "I probably was almost more President Donald Trump leads a rare Camp David Cabinet meeting Friday, flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, left, and Defense Secretary Pete Hogarth. Trump said it was the first televised Cabinet meeting from the course woulded retreat in Maryland. than anybody to the historic of the country, for I wasn't looking for that," Trump said. Trump also lacked oral at political motions and reached on other topics that have raided him. The president warned that elections would remain and overrun U.S. borders if Democrats defeated GOP lawmakers in the space- ing uniforms, levying a recent incident at a Spanish outpost in North Africa. Trump reportedly mocked Missileone, Gov. Tim Walt, (D.), a the same, but that's something in the government for a cyberattack on the state's municipal water systems. U.S. intelligence agencies suspect that him launched the cyberattack, a possibility that Trump ruled out. "Such gay bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota," Trump said, calling the state government "growing into the meaning." With worse on social media that "flying leaves exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were let too," linking to news coverage of similar cyberattacks in other states. The governor also asked Trump by providing the ongoing conflict with him, which has helped drug down the president's polling and drive up gay prices. "Trump can't hear how because he's too busy waging war with Minnesota," Walt wrote. D.C. officials thought they could work with Comer. A new bill surprised them. CONNER'S BILL FROM REG determines whether Republican entails control of the House and whether the congressman remains as Oversight committee chair. Austin Hasbro, an Oversight committee spokesman, did not address questions about Comer's communication with city officials before his introduction of his tax bill. In an encalled statement, Hasbro said the congressman proposed the legislation "to response to the D.C. Council's reckless push to increase taxes; and singled out Lewis George because she wants to "state taxes on D.C. residents and businesses next year." Lewis George, in a statement, said the city "doesn't send or want Congress' intervention to our affairs" and that she opposes "new taxes on working people or middle-class families who live in D.C. or on D.C.-owned small businesses." At the same time, Lewis George described herself as "close-eyed about our need to identify additional sources of revenue" and that she supports "working closely with the city's agents to increase revenue, including closing tax loopholes." During the campaign, Lewis George talked of creating a business activity and the result of the owner of, say, 8. Street lobby ing or consulting firms or other corporate interests who live outside the city. Another local law master, central member Brisanie R. Nadson (D-Wisn) 2, who is working for one year year, recently proposed a new tax on the investment and other passive income of $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Comer's bill was applauded by DoorDash, which had opposed a 20-year fund delivery for that the county passed in early July. DoorDash's support for the legislation has prompted D.C. lawmakers and activists to urge residents to be paid the service. Whether the new and Senate would pass Comer's proposal is an open question, it said of GOP bills targeting the city's autonomy have failed over the years after their well-publicized introduction. Yet Comer's status as a high-profile committee chair is prompting local officials to regard his tax bill as a threat to the 1981 introduction, he was issued a statement saying it would "remake the District to popular of non-crying from the debilitating opposite of COVID, federal remote work, and" Susana Castillo, a mayoral spokesperson, referred a reporter to Bowser's statement when asked about the legislation, She declined to make a speech from the administration available to someone. Beverly Perry, who until last fall dealt with House Republicans in her role as a senior Bowser advisor, said Comer's close association with the legislation distinguished the bill from past Republican proposals. "It surprised me that he's the sponsor," said Perry, who resigned in October. "He has been a friend to the city in difficult times when Republicans have tried all kinds of crazy stuff." She described Comer's 2023 tax-trealization of a bill transferring ownership of RJR Stadium and the surrounding land from the federal government to D.C. "as the most transformative bill that has been passed in the city in decades." "I would call that a friend," Perry said. "In our experience, he has been reasonable and thoughtful." Targeting D.C.'s presumptive rent mayor as the students' elections approach fits a broader GOP push to portray the Democratic Party as controlled by a rising class of democratic socialists, a cast that stars Rep. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (D-Wav Wisn) and New York Mayor Edelson Marchant. Lewis George is expected to take office in January. Tom Davis, president of the Federal City Council, a D.C.-based business advisory group, is well-educated in political gamesmanship as a former Republican congressman in Virginia who serves as Oversight chair from 2003 to 2007. On a practical level, Davis said, it's far from certain that the Senate would approve Comer's legislation because "it's hard to get anything through the Senate right now" At the same time, Comer's measure gives Republicans a convenient vehicle to call themselves as the fiscally responsible, tax-averse party. "I'm developing a working relationship with the congressman and he doesn't even mention that he's thinking about this or ask me what I think about it." Phil Mendelson, D.C. Council chair, during a telephone interview "You have a lot of Republican members who are looking at feats in and how look and they're not even about what's going to happen in the nation's capital," he said. "It's a nice without consequences, a statement even. It's a signal to the city and the incoming mayor about a certain unanimous over what she brings." Davis said business leaders who are members of the Federal City Council are working "to work with the new mayor," even as many supported her Democratic prime, to organize the D.C. E. and the D.C. "A lot of our members have met that too," Davis said. "Everyone is going to give her a chance." Another local business advocacy group, Opportunity DC, which endorsed McDuffie during the primary, is opposed to Comer's legislation because "it's a complete job. Disagreeled on D.C. autonomy," said Ralston Fox, the organization's executive director. Although "there are certain people in the business community who don't want to see their taxes go up," he said, "Our ability to govern ourselves takes precedent over that." House Republicans have a long history of intervening in D.C. affairs, including, for example, in the late 1990s when they imposed a budget rider blocking the city from using local tax revenue to fund abortion services. In the 1990s, when Marion Barry was mayor and the city was on the brink of bankruptcy, House Republicans did a bipartisan effort to establish a control board to oversee the city's finances. The oversight ended in 2005 when D.C. was no longer in debt. George Derek Musgrove, a University of Maryland at Baltimore County, because who has written extensively about D.C., said that Republicans in the 1990s were respectfully to a fiscal crisis that threatened city services. "What's different now is that the D.C. system willing to states, factors crises to cover political points," he said. "The purpose of the initiative now is loss to create policies and more to create what for the Group is to understand." Lewis George, he said, is a predictable GOP target. But he also pointed out that Bowser, a far more moderate Democrat, has not stopped Trump and his allies from seeking to communicate the city's police department or from eroding National Guard troops into D.C. neighborhoods. "It's not meat for the MAGA band," he said. For bloodsions, the Comer bill amounts in an intrusion he can't ignore, even if assumed congressional observers doubt the likelihood of passage. The fact that D.C. lawmakers are talking about potential new tax policies, he said, does not justify Comer's interference. Nor does the booming accordance of the city's first democratic socialist mayor. "Why don't you wait until she actually does something crazy?" the chairman said. IndyCar race coming to D.C. RACE FROM REG — there were 200,000 tickets requested in nine days, according to Red Denker, president of Penske Corp. and chair of the Freedom 200 Grand Prix. Denker said the only option left for viewing the race close up is purchasing a Champion's Club ticket, which includes both days and all-inclusive food and drink for $5,000 apiece. Considering the height of the barriers and the close-to-the-ground hefty/low, you'll have tough the during the race rather you're at the neck or in an elevated area.

Penske Corp., which owns IndyCar, is responsible for most of the costs associated with putting in the Freedom 200 Grand Prix. Denker said, 3% fully unfortunate the entire, he said that the first test street race IndyCar has had a budget of about $20 million. "I'm not going to pay for the race more than that." That's due to the event's higher turnaround time, which led to larger equipment and personnel costs, as well as D.C's higher permit costs, said Merrill Cain, Team Penske disvo- ter of communications. This race also has bigger suites and hospitality areas. But the security provided by agencies such as the D.C. police department, U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Park Police and more is a separate cost. The District's price will be on full activation from Friday through Sunday, and months chief Jeffrey Carroll, assuming all available officers will be deployed across the city. He said he wouldn't have an estimate on the overtime costs associated with the event until later. The federal government allocates money to D.C. annually for special events. This year, because of the various events marking the city's revenue, it was of the nation's founding, the founding a gift million — which is on par with what the city receives due to an interpretation over, said the D.C. and the D.C. City and Justice Lindsey Appiah. That money will pay for the race's security. Denker said the annual street race is a good thing more than $200 million of economic benefit to the city. "We're going to have double the amount of people coming to this race," Denker said. "I think we are double the amount of economic benefit." The event is also happening in the dog days of August, which Bowser hopes will boost an effective eligibility time for the D.C. eligibility areas. Construction continues at a viewing stand ahead of the Freedom 200 Grand Prix. New streets are being prepared The Freedom 200 Grand Prix will be the first of its kind on the Mall and nearby streets, and work will be done before, during and after the race to prep the streets. (Thanks is on the book to pay for those costs, too.) While the asphalt D.C. cars is already a new with IndyCar's needs and Denker had praise for D.C. roads, the course and viewing areas still need to be built. Of particular interest to the organization's manholes, all 220 of those in the race are will need to be worked down; the moment would otherwise make them go flying; and about 60 will also need sitcom to smooth them out. Once the races are over, all of that work will be reversed. Organisms converged around the Aug. 25 and 26 date for the race because Congress would be in recess, reducing the amount of activity in the area. As the event draws closer, residents and others traveling in the District should expect impacts to traffic and parking, as well as road distance, and, which will take effect starting Aug. 31, a thank of D.C. around the Mall will be entirely restrictive. If these traffic during the event. How to get around Planning on attending race weekend? All of the officials were notified. Take Metro. "Leave all of the downtown driving on the racerooms," Bowser said. There are eight stations that service areas near the racerooms; said Metro General Manager Randy Clarke, and the transportation agency will add addl. They will service to meet travel, etc' needs. The event is happening during the Red Line's ongoing closure, Clarke acknowledged. He suggested that people inspecting the race from stations affected by road work, especially those early of the Bethesda stop, should have such to give themselves enough time to catch a chance. Metro is looking a special edition. Smart City staff, which shows an IndyCar racing on a vet, white and blue track. "We expect those to go really fast," Clarke said. Flowers are also planned during the weekend and will affect airports, said Marlene Spitzer, Secret Service deputy director, as people ought to check airport websites for specific closures as the event draws to meet. Expect extra security People can expect a high number of authorized officers in D.C. that weekend, Quinn said. There will also be Transportation Security Administration only checkpoints with supplementary coverage. A new and new D.C. will be in effect, in particular officials continued against using dream. Officials said they are also incorporating license's manual after severe weather and heat disrupted some America 500 events during the July Fourth holiday. Officials have identified 10 safe havens around the perimeter of the event to ease evacuation are needed. Rarving lightning, though, expect the race to continue amid rain. The cars will just put on their rain tires, Denker said. "It causes more calamity, but we do race in the race." Find race of many? Bowser said she hoped D.C's first Grand Prix would be followed by a second and third part of her limited mission to leave the D.C's sports and entertainment economy. "It's not a long opportunity to showcase our city to a global audience, exclusive hundreds of thousands of viewers and us person guests, as well to each this year," the District said said. Denker wouldn't commit to future races on D.C. streets. "Let's see how it goes this year," he said. SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2024 - THE WASHINGTON POST © B15 The Washington Post THE D.C.

MORRIS COCO B16 12 95 THE WASHINGTON POST · SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2006 OBITUARIES Ms. Smith of the Chanticle performing in September 2003 in New York City. ARLENE SMITH, 84 Lead singer of pioneering "the girl group, the Chanticle BY HELLES FALLIS NEW YORK — Arlene Smith, one of the first "girl group" stars who is a teenager and a founder of the Chanticle co-wrote and sang lead on the 100th disc-wop classic "Maybe," has died at 84. Ms. Smith's manager and close friend, Paul Ericson, told the Associated Press that she died of a heart attack Wednesday at a New York City hospital. Male licensure groups from the 1940s to 1950s and the Refiners were common in the early years of rush-and-roll. But female acts — especially Black female acts — were met until the late 1950s, when performers such as the Chanticle and the Refiners broke through and helped make possible a wave of girl groups in the next decade, including the Refiners, the Reunion, and the Crystals. "My thing was, 'The guys are not the only ones that can do this,'" Ms. Smith told the authors of the 2023 oral history "But Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" "Maybe," recorded in a mail-craft studio in a Manhattan church, was a spare, pleading half-last that Ms. Smith's son, who was in force, in part because the group had to run through it more than 10 times. The 1959 release was a Top 30 hit that eventually sold more than 1 million copies and was covered by Anita Jojeda and the Three Degrees, among others. Ms. Smith and the Chanticle were voted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2003, a year before Building Stone raided "Maybe." At 199 on the magazine's list of the 1959 best songs. "The Chanticle forced listeners to remember this song as something more than a man's formula and the reality of a girl group holding forth on guys' outfield and cultural possibilities in an entirely new way." Will music critic The Riley wrote in his book "The published in 1959," "With 'Maybe,' Arlene Smith debuted her word with so much determined naivety that she transformed all the early cry of a devoted relationship into a fervent wish for its review." The Chanticle had a handful of other hits, including "Every Night I Prep" and "Look In My Eyes," but never reached the success in "Maybe." Ms. Smith left the group in 1959, around the time that record label went bankrupt, and she worked briefly with a group of "All Species, Wearing the Gorge," "Love, Love, Love." But her career soon faded and, by the 1970s, estranged from the other original Chanticle, she was touring with a new family of leading singers. Ms. Smith eventually received a research degree in education and taught music to elementary school students in New York City before retiring in the 2000s. She never married or had children, Ericson said. The Chanticle were ahead of their time The Chanticle were pioneers sometimes inspired in the conventions of the era. Ms. Smith's name was initially left out of the credits in "Maybe," a theft of copyright common in the music industry in the '60s.
