记录显示舞厅完工主张不实

白宫在向最高法院提交的文件中称项目“已完工65%”

作者：莎拉·布拉斯基 (SARAH BLASKEY)、 乔纳森·奥康奈尔 (JONATHAN O'CONNELL)、 丹·戴蒙德 (DAN DIAMOND) 以及 贾雷特·雷 (JARRETT LEY)

特朗普政府两周前告诉最高法院，新白宫东翼的建设已“完工65%”，这是其主张该工程进度过快，法院不应叫停的部分理由。

但根据《华盛顿邮报》审阅的一份与承包商克拉克建设公司（Clark Construction）签署的机密协议中确立的白宫自身项目进度衡量标准，这项备受争议的项目完工程度远低于此。

该协议在克拉克公司去年10月开始拆除工作前最终敲定，规定支付给承包商的款项应与已完成的工作量成比例，且在政府批准相关支出之前，工作不得开始。基于此，如果工作已完成65%，那么政府应该已经支付了项目总成本的65%。

公开的拨款数据显示，截至7月底，白宫预算办公室已批准从用于支付东翼及其他白宫项目的账户中支出1.44亿美元。即使这笔款项全部用于东翼，也仅约占$600 million预估总额的24%。

沃什：关于通胀，银行“仍有工作要做”

大多数投资者目前预计9月将加息

作者：大卫·J·林奇 (DAVID J. LYNCH)

怀俄明州杰克逊霍尔 —— 美联储主席凯文·沃什表示，他对经济的整体实力印象“深刻”，但对通胀“潜在趋势”未见改善的迹象感到担忧。

作为美联储主席首次在此亮相，沃什并未明确发出美联储下次会议将提高利率的信号。他还为其备受争议的决定进行了辩护，即仅就美联储的思考提供有限的公开评论，批评者称这让市场对央行的意图感到困惑。

但许多投资者将沃什的言论视为鹰派。根据追踪期货市场活动的 CME 联储观察（CME FedWatch）显示，目前近60%的交易员预计美联储将在9月中旬加息，高于周四的略高于三分之一。

美国民众转而反对车牌识别摄像头

反对警察使用该 AI 驱动技术的人数已超过支持者

两年前，当阿肯色州森特顿市议会议员贾斯汀·考格尔 (Justin Cowgur) 被要求就安装 Flock 车牌识别器的合同进行投票时，他很容易就投了赞成票。这位共和党籍葡萄酒商认为，这种由人工智能驱动的摄像头——它能将经过车辆的车牌记录到数据库中，供警员在调查犯罪时检索——可以帮助缓解警力不足的压力，并确保他所在的卧城社区的安全。

但最近，他开始后悔这项交易，称他不再信任该公司处理其路边摄像头收集的海量数据。本月早些时候，在许多居民表达了对隐私以及系统被滥用风险的担忧后，他与其他成员一致投票决定取消该合同。

“作为一名有两个女儿的父亲，我想要安全。但车牌识别器触及的许多敏感领域令人非常担忧，”39 岁的考格尔在一次采访中表示。“人们在某种程度上希望拥有隐私，你不想觉得自己被监视着。……我们真的知道我们的数据流向了哪里吗？”

民调公司 YouGov 的调查显示，考格尔的心态转变反映了全美对于美国警务中增长最快的监控工具之一的整体情绪。现在，更多美国人反对执法部门使用该技术，而非支持，这与去年的情况截然相反，随着日益增长的抵制情绪，人们对其潜在的——详见 A6 页 FLOCK 报道

特朗普确保获得委内瑞拉石油的大量美国份额

称交易涉及 650 亿桶

目标是说服 能源公司进行钻探

作者：埃文·哈尔珀 (EVAN HALPER)、 凯伦·德·杨 (KAREN DE YOUNG)、 安东尼·法约拉 (ANTHONY FAIOLA) 以及 萨曼莎·施密特 (SAMANTHA SCHMIDT)

特朗普总统周五晚上宣布，美国已确保获得委内瑞拉油田大量份额的长期权益。这一方案可能成本高昂且在法律上具有不确定性，旨在促使那些犹豫不决的能源公司在这一高风险地区进行钻探。

该计划涉及美国在犯罪活动和严峻的物流挑战令私人投资者望而却步的情况下，对委内瑞拉的储备采取更直接的控制。

联邦官员表示，根据该计划，美国已获得了委内瑞拉近四分之一未开发石油储备的控股权。这使得美国成为一家巨型新合资石油公司的多数股东，该公司将持有委内瑞拉油田为期 100 年的合同。

该交易中委内瑞拉方面的关键合作伙伴是亚历杭德罗·贝坦库尔 (Alejandro Betancourt)，一名委内瑞拉商人。他曾在多个国家因涉嫌洗钱而受到调查，目前面临瑞士的逮捕令。

“美利坚合众国刚刚与委内瑞拉就世界历史上最大的石油交易达成协议！”特朗普周五晚上在社交媒体上发帖称。“在我的指示下，国务卿马可·鲁比奥 (Marco Rubio) 和战争部长皮特·海格塞斯 (Pete Hegseth) 与备受尊敬的委内瑞拉临时总统德尔西·罗德里格斯 (Delcy Rodriguez) 密切合作，并通过与私营企业的伙伴关系，确保了美国对委内瑞拉 650 亿桶以上已探明石油储备的多数控制权。”

六个月后，特朗普在伊朗问题上的选项不多

政权依然稳固，霍尔木兹海峡基本关闭，美国武器储备耗尽

作者：迈克尔·比恩鲍姆 (MICHAEL BIRNBAUM)

在唐纳德·特朗普总统于2月28日发动对伊朗战争的第二天，他表示这场战斗可能会持续四到五周。六个月后，几乎没有任何迹象表明战争即将结束。

伊朗战争已成为特朗普第二任期面临的一项重大挑战，损害了他在国内选民中的地位，并削弱了美国在中东的地位。而且，在伊朗领导人发现他们能够承受剧烈轰炸，并利用水雷和无人机的廉价组合缓慢削弱世界上最强大的军队之后，总统塑造结果的能力似乎受到了严重限制。

现在，特朗普需要在遵守自身红线的同时重新开放霍尔木兹海峡：他极力避免成为21世纪的赫伯特·胡佛（主导了大萧条时期的总统），这限制了他可采取的经济手段。同样，他目前决定克制不对伊朗采取风险最高且最极端的军事行动，这也限制了他的战争选项。

“我们的处境绝对更加弱势，我不知道是否还有补救的机会，”布鲁金斯学会美国-伊朗关系专家苏珊·马洛尼（Suzanne Maloney）表示。这场战争“是本届政府引发的一系列更大动态的一部分，这些动态已经——详见A14页关于伊朗的报道”

他们是如何做到的

在一个光线昏暗的房间里，研究人员向 116 名魁北克成年人展示了一系列与五个议题相关的词汇，包括经济、环境、健康、移民和文化。当参与者回答关于每个词汇的简短问题时，一个传感器测量电能在其食指和中指之间流动的速度（作为出汗的替代指标），而另一个传感器则追踪其瞳孔直径的变化。参与者还完成了一项典型的调查，询问上述相同议题的重要性。

该研究的共同作者卡米尔·特伦布莱-安托万（Camille Tremblay-Antoine）在电子邮件中描述了研究的核心问题：“当我们向人们提问并收集答案时，这些答案实际上有效吗？如果这些人来到实验室，我们用测谎仪测量他们的反应，是否会得到相同的结果？”

“简短的回答是：是的。”

这是特伦布莱-安托万得出的基本结论。研究发现，人们对议题重要性的评分与其出汗率和瞳孔大小之间存在强正相关，在最高值为 1 的量表中约为 0.7。尽管该研究的样本量相对较小，但结果在统计学上具有显著性。

研究发现，并非所有调查问题的效果都相同。那些强迫受访者选择“最重要”议题的问题，比那些允许受访者将多个议题评为重要的问题，与生理反应的联系更为紧密。

但总体而言，结果令人鼓舞，特伦布莱-安托万写道。“当我们询问人们什么对他们很重要或他们更倾向于什么时，我们可以真正确信他们的答案反映了他们真实的优先级。这看起来似乎显而易见，但实际上从未以这种方式进行过测试。”

核心议题民调面临其他挑战

虽然这项新颖的加拿大研究表明，人们可以告诉民调机构他们对哪些议题充满热情，但衡量和解读公众最关注的问题可能具有难度。

核心议题民调有时会根据列出的议题不同而显示出不同的结果。昆尼皮亚克大学（Quinnipiac University）5 月的一项民调发现，26% 的选民选择“维护民主”作为国家最紧迫的问题；但一项采用开放式问题的盖洛普（Gallup）民调发现，仅有 2% 的成年人将选举或民主列为国家的首要问题。开放式问题主要依赖于选民脑海中首先想到的议题，但可能会遗漏其他他们持有强烈情感的议题。

此外，这些议题与人们投票方式之间的联系并不稳固。

当我们向人们提问并收集答案时，这些答案实际上有效吗？如果这些人来到实验室，我们用测谎仪测量他们的反应，是否会得到相同的结果？

托马斯·J·利珀（Thomas J. Leeper）和约书亚·罗比森（Joshua Robison）的一项研究分析了 1980 年至 2008 年总统选举期间的 48 个议题，以观察那些表示某个议题很重要的选民是否基于这些议题进行投票。结果并不一致：在某些情况下，议题的重要性起到了作用，但在许多其他情况下则不然。

您的提问！

感谢 50 多位读者就民调发送的问题或想法！我期待在接下来的几个月里逐一探讨这些问题，但辛西娅（Cynthia）的疑问似乎是最好的开始：

问：我经常怀疑民调的合法性，因为我不知道参与者是谁以及是如何被选中的。所以：

1. 人员是如何选出的？

2. 我如何参与？ 答：主要有两种抽样方法。随机或基于概率的样本始于一个“抽样框架”，该框架包含目标人群中的每一个人，例如美国邮政署的地址文件或某个州的登记选民名单。民调通过一种或多种方式（如电话、短信、电子邮件或电话）从该框架中随机抽取样本。实际的抽样过程更为复杂，以克服框架通常缺失许多人联系方式，或某些类型的人更倾向于响应的事实。

非概率或选择性加入（opt-in）的在线样本是民调招募受访者的第二种主要方式，这种方式使用提供奖励或报酬以参与调查的在线广告。

虽然有些民调仅为单次访谈招募受访者，但招募受访者参与多次调查的调查面板（survey panels）正变得越来越普遍。一些面板使用非概率方法招募成员，而另一些则使用随机抽样。

2. 我如何参与？

虽然任何人都可以通过选择性加入的调查公司注册参加在线调查，但无法自愿参加使用随机抽样开展的调查。正如皮尤研究中心（Pew Research Center）所记录的，自 21 世纪初以来，调查方法发生了剧烈变化，选择性加入的在线调查大规模增长，而人工拨打的电话民调则有所下降。

在未来的文章中，我将探讨不同方法的准确性对比。

值得关注

一位在共和党人中更受欢迎的民主党参议员——宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼（John Fetterman）是一名民主党人，但从本周发布的《纽约时报》 / 《费城询问者报》 / 锡耶纳学院（Siena College）的民调来看，你可能意识不到这一点。

仅有 22% 的民主党登记选民对费特曼持好感，而 73% 的共和党人对他持好感。这些结果标志着自 2024, 年以来的反转，当时 74% 的民主党人对费特曼持有积极看法，而共和党人仅为 25%。

《时报》指出，费特曼经常出现在保守派新闻媒体中，批评他的民主党同僚过于自由，“使自己变成了某种现代政治中的‘反派角色’（wrestling heel）”。

最新的民调于 8 月 17-21 日在 760 名宾夕法尼亚州登记选民的随机样本中进行，样本来自全州选民名单，由人工访谈员拨打手机和座机。抽样误差幅度为正负 4.5 个百分点。

法官再次拦截特朗普对邮寄选票的广泛限制

关于这项争议性措施的法律斗争预计将继续

作者：贾斯汀·朱文纳尔 (JUSTIN JOUVENAL)

马萨诸塞州的一名联邦法官周四再次拦截了特朗普政府计划中关于对11月选举实施广泛邮寄投票限制的主要部分，但法律斗争仍将继续。

美国地方法院法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼 (Indira Talwani) 发布了一项临时限制令，暂停了该计划的部分措施。这些措施原本将禁止美国邮政署向不在联邦机构创建的公民名单上的选民投递邮寄选票。此外，该计划还要求邮寄选票信封必须带有条形码以防止欺诈。

特朗普政府周五通知法院，计划对塔尔瓦尼的裁决提出上诉。

法官的这一举动延续了围绕唐纳德·特朗普总统发布的关于邮寄投票的争议性行政命令而展开的一周激烈法律行动。该命令目前面临多项法律挑战。

特朗普声称非公民投票现象猖獗，而法院记录和独立研究则发现这种情况十分罕见。

塔尔瓦尼表示，许多州不可能重新发行邮寄投票信封，因为部分州最早将于下周开始寄出选票。她还表示，特朗普政府未能提供证据证明非公民投票是一个主要问题。

女性选民联盟 (League of Women Voters) 和其他投票权利团体正在对政府的这一举措提出挑战，称该措施可能会给决定众议院和参议院控制权的关键选战带来混乱。

塔尔瓦尼对此表达了同样的担忧。

“美国邮政署试图通过可能违宪的手段来纠正一个未经证实的问题的意愿，在公民因需要邮寄选票才能投票而面临被大规模剥夺选举权的巨大风险面前，显得微不足道，”塔尔瓦尼写道。

2020年，一名工作人员在宾夕法尼亚州巴克斯县选举委员会处理邮寄选票。

在由23个州和哥伦比亚特区发起的另一项针对该行政命令的挑战中，最高法院周一认定原告的诉讼为时过早，因为美国邮政署尚未就该命令如何执行发布最终规则。

在周三最终确定这些规则后，各州和哥伦比亚特区提起了一项新诉讼，挑战该行政命令。

塔尔瓦尼周四发布的禁令是她在投票权利团体提起的案件中第二次拦截该行政命令。此前，她在发现最高法院的逻辑同样适用于该案后撤销了早前的禁令，但允许原告申请新的拦截。

最终，这个问题可能会再次提交至最高法院，但即便政府——

报告发现搜寻大学枪击案凶手过程存在缺陷，该凶手随后再次作案

调查结果引发了人们的质疑：在布朗大学的袭击者在杀害一名麻省理工学院教授之前，是否本可以被识别出来

作者：托德·沃拉克（TODD WALLACK）

根据周五发布的一份报告，去年12月布朗大学枪击案导致两名学生死亡、九人受伤，而对凶手的搜寻工作由于线索收集和筛选系统的碎片化、大学监控视频获取的延迟，以及在调查错误对象上浪费了宝贵时间而变得复杂。

这份由罗德岛州普罗维登斯市委托进行的审查报告指出，这些发现引发了人们的质疑：执法部门是否本可以在凶手在波士顿附近杀害一名麻省理工学院（MIT）教授之前，更早地将其识别出来。

“现在我们知道很多当时不知道且无法知道的事情，”普罗维登斯市市长布雷特·斯迈利（Brett Smiley）在一次采访中表示。“但如果能够获取额外的视频馈送，并将这些信息公布给公众以协助识别，任何这些细节都可能有所帮助。”

布朗大学的枪击事件引发了为期五天的凶手搜寻行动。

12月13日下午4点刚过，一名男子闯入这所常春藤联盟学校的一间教室，向正在准备经济学期末考试的学生开火。19岁的埃拉·库克（Ella Cook）和18岁的穆罕默德·阿齐兹·乌穆尔佐科夫（Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov）被杀。两天后，该男子在马萨诸塞州布鲁克林的一处住所内，枪杀了麻省理工学院教授努诺·卢雷罗（Nuno Loureiro）。

警方在当时并不清楚是谁实施了枪击，也不清楚这些案件是否相关，或者凶手是否会再次袭击。

执法人员最终追踪到了嫌疑人的租赁车辆——这在一定程度上得益于一名布朗大学校友提供的线索，该校友在公开场合仅被识别为“约翰”（John），他将自己看到的情况分享到了 Reddit 上，随后告知了警方。

这一突破帮助警方将枪击者确定为48岁的克劳迪奥·曼努埃尔·内维斯·瓦伦特（Claudio Manuel Neves Valente）。他曾是布朗大学的学生，几十年前可能就在枪击案发生的同一栋大楼里上过课。

瓦伦特是来自葡萄牙的前物理系学生，曾在布朗大学研究生院就读三个学期，随后在2001年请假，并于2003年正式退学。在此之前，他与卢雷罗曾在里斯本的同一个物理项目中学习。

当局利用财务记录锁定了瓦伦特在新罕布什尔州的储物单元，最终在那里发现了他的尸体以及承认两起枪击案的视频。法医判定，瓦伦特在被发现前约两天自杀身亡。

联邦调查局（FBI）表示，瓦伦特在视频中没有透露动机。他当时处于失业状态，FBI 表示，布朗大学和那位麻省理工学院教授可能代表了他的个人失败以及他所认为的不公正。

这份事后行动报告由市政府委托，由总部位于华盛顿特区的非营利组织“警察执行研究论坛”（Police Executive Research Forum）撰写，该组织为执法部门提供指导。

总体而言，报告赞扬了该市对枪击事件的反应。报告指出，普罗维登斯警方和消防部门在接到第一个911电话后五分钟内就抵达了现场。该非营利组织发现，调查和行动响应展现了一种“纪律严明且有效的方法”。

但报告也指出了挑战。

普罗维登斯侦探未能立即获取布朗大学的监控摄像头权限，因为这些设备与市府系统分离，且未接入普罗维登斯警察局的实时犯罪中心。报告还指出，由于该校公共安全部门存在未指明的“访问相关问题”，导致获取布朗大学监控视频的时间进一步延迟。

侦探在看到视频后注意到，枪击者的行为十分显眼：监控捕捉到他在他人惊慌逃离时，正冷静地走离现场。

报告还提到，布朗大学官员最初告诉普罗维登斯侦探，校园接驳巴士无法录像。事实证明这一说法是错误的，这导致获取显示枪击者去向的额外影像的时间被推迟。

报告称，如果犯罪中心的普罗维登斯警方能够实时访问布朗大学的摄像头，“袭击者在离开校园时很有可能被识别并追踪”。

布朗大学发言人布莱恩·克拉克（Brian Clark）表示，学校“致力于与普罗维登斯及其他地方机构开展强有力的协作与协调”。

在本报道发布后，该大学于周五下午发布了自己的报告，称学校希望达成协议加入市府的实时犯罪中心，以便与普罗维登斯警方实时共享视频。

市府的报告还指出，调查人员在枪击事件后投入了大量资源调查错误的人员。联邦调查局（FBI）曾在普罗维登斯西南方向的一家汉普顿酒店（Hampton Inn）拘留一名 24 岁的威斯康星州男子数小时，随后才得出其未参与此事的结论。报告发现，这暂时缩小了调查的关注范围。

为了应对未来的紧急情况，报告列出了 18 项建议，其中部分建议市府表示已经实施或已开始实施。这些建议包括：建立一套在重大事件后管理线索的新系统、将布朗大学的摄像头与普罗维登斯的犯罪中心整合，以及为涉及多个机构的调查建立更好的结构。

“这不是在庆祝胜利，”市长斯迈利（Smiley）表示，“我希望社区知道，我们对自己提出了严苛的问题，并且我们将做出改变。”

斯迈利和市府报告还指出，瓦伦特（Valente）采取了避免被发现的措施，包括将租赁车辆的佛罗里达州车牌更换为从缅因州盗取的车牌，这增加了追踪他的难度。

尽管如此，报告仍留下了疑问，例如枪击事件是否本可以避免。

三名在枪击中受伤的学生于 4 月在州法院起诉该大学，指控学校承担部分责任。

学生的诉讼主张布朗大学针对城市校园的安全措施不足——包括摄像头覆盖范围存在关键漏洞。

起诉书还指出，一名布朗大学的勤杂工在枪击前几周发现瓦伦特在建筑周围徘徊约 12 次（包括窥视教室），曾试图提醒校园安保人员。他们称布朗大学并未根据该信息采取行动。代表学生的律师事务所拒绝置评。

布朗大学表示，其自身的外部审查结论认为，该校“极不可能”能防止 12 月的枪击事件。

此外，大学表示已采取措施提高校园安全，包括增加 700 多个摄像头。预计到下个月秋季学期开始时，将部署总计约 2,000 个摄像头。

市府的报告未涵盖袭击发生前的情况或袭击是否可以被预防。斯迈利表示，这是因为该报告侧重于市府对布朗大学枪击事件的响应。

市长还表示，他认为该管理人员的报告似乎没有产生任何效果，因为该报告是提交给一家私人安保承包商，而非布朗大学或普罗维登斯警方。布朗大学表示，其审查发现没有证据表明该管理人员将其对那个长相像瓦伦特的可疑人员的担忧汇报给了其主管或布朗大学的公共安全办公室。

另一个问题是，据报道为无家可归的布朗大学校友约翰（John）——他协助确认了枪击者的身份——是否获得了联邦调查局（FBI）提供的 50,000 美元奖励。该奖励旨在表彰提供线索并促成对责任人进行身份确认、逮捕和定罪的行为。

去年12月，罗德岛州总检察长彼得·内罗哈（Peter Neronha）表示，约翰提供的线索“让这起案件彻底水落石出”，普罗维登斯市长也敦促 FBI 将奖励金交给他，尽管由于嫌疑人已死亡，无法对其所犯罪行进行定罪。

FBI 以其长期执行的政策为由，拒绝透露是否支付了奖励金，而约翰未回复通过 Reddit 发送的消息。

斯迈利表示，他没有听说过约翰是否收到了奖励。

“我想我永远也不会知道他是否收到了，”斯迈利说。

宾州州长指责卫生部长制造混乱

作者：RACHEL ROUBEIN, LENA H. SUN 以及 CAITLIN GILBERT

在宣布宾夕法尼亚州发生两起与麻疹相关的死亡病例的新闻发布会前几分钟，州长乔希·沙皮罗（Josh Shapiro，民主党）与特朗普政府的最高卫生官员进行了一次激烈的通话。

周二在电视摄像机前，州长指责卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）在疫苗问题上制造混乱，并导致美国在四分之一个世纪前已经根除的一种疾病再次回归。沙皮罗表示，他告诉肯尼迪，该州不需要联邦政府的额外帮助。

这次交锋已演变成一场异常的公开争端，并引发了关于这种极具传染性且可通过疫苗轻松预防的疾病爆发的党派指责风暴。沙皮罗和肯尼迪在社交媒体上互相发表长篇抨击，指责对方散布恐惧。

周四，在一名县法医表示，检查一名麻疹检测呈阳性的新生儿的病理学家认为该病毒在婴儿死亡中没有起到作用后，外界对沙皮罗宣布内容的审查进一步加深。沙皮罗政府除了将两名死者描述为未接种疫苗的兰开斯特县居民外，没有提供更多细节。

周五下午，沙皮罗的办公室表示，州长“坚定地”支持他之前的言论。

“宾夕法尼亚州卫生部从未收到法医通知称这不是一起与麻疹相关的死亡事件，”发言人罗西·拉波夫斯基（Rosie Lapowsky）在的一份声明中说道。

肯尼迪及其盟友指责沙皮罗政府过早地宣布疫情已导致死亡。一些通常批评肯尼迪的传染病专家表示，沙皮罗及其团队从一开始就应该提供更多信息。

民主党人和公共卫生专家主张，作为一家知名反疫苗组织创始人的肯尼迪淡化了麻疹的爆发，且他多年来的言论削弱了本可以预防或控制疫情的疫苗接种工作。有些人甚至将唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期内发生的几起与麻疹相关的死亡事件归咎于肯尼迪。

肯尼迪长期以来一直贬低疫苗，包括在2021年出现在疫苗接种率较低的宾夕法尼亚州兰开斯特县（该州卫生官员报告了两起死亡病例）。针对肯尼迪反疫苗活动历史的批评，白宫经常指出，肯尼迪作为卫生部长曾表示，疫苗接种是“预防麻疹传播最有效的方法”，且父母应该让孩子接种麻疹疫苗。一些公共卫生专家表示，肯尼迪通过虚假声称疫苗未经安全测试，使这一信息变得混乱。

关于宾夕法尼亚州麻疹爆发的这场口角，初步揭示了疫苗、传染病以及对政府的信任如何可能成为下一次总统竞选中的决定性议题。为2028年做准备的民主党人一直渴望展示他们正在与特朗普政府对抗，且许多人将疫苗视为一个跨党派的大选议题，以及一个将共和党描绘成脱离科学的机会。

“美国人正死于麻疹——一种可以预防的疾病——因为特朗普和小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪摧毁了人们对疫苗的信任，”参议员帕蒂·默里（Patty Murray，民主党-华盛顿州）在 X 上发帖称。

夏皮罗是一位总统摇摆州州长，他将在 11 月的连任选举中稳操胜券，外界普遍预计他将竞选总统。而曾在 2024 年以独立候选人身份竞选总统的肯尼迪，则否认了关于他将再次发起竞选的猜测。

“肯尼迪部长在家长和其他人群中煽动混乱——结果就是麻疹的防护力下降，病例增加，”夏皮罗周三在 X 上发帖称。

肯尼迪利用其个人及政府官方社交媒体账号主张，夏皮罗是在利用这一时刻谋取政治利益。他暗示这些死亡病例“甚至可能是由州长某位心急的工作人员完全捏造的”。

“夏皮罗州长匆忙赶往兰开斯特县召开全国新闻发布会，并以一种近乎狂喜的态度宣布两起麻疹死亡病例，这是对当代政治对话的一种阴郁讽刺，”肯尼迪周三在社交媒体上写道。

根据《华盛顿邮报》对其社交媒体帖子、播客和时事通讯的分析，截至周四，左翼政治影响力人物讨论麻疹的频率大约是右翼人物的五倍。本周左翼提及该话题的频率是 2025 年初西德克萨斯州麻疹疫情以来最高的，那次疫情导致 700 多人感染，并导致两名未接种疫苗的儿童死亡。

在回应《邮报》的提问时，宾夕法尼亚州竞争激烈选区的民主党众议院候选人们在夏皮罗与肯尼迪的争端中支持夏皮罗。夏皮罗将其中期选举战略重点放在助力他们的竞选上，而胜利将在他冲击白宫之前巩固其政治品牌。

“在关于谁将成为下一任总统的辩论中，公共卫生将变得非常重要，”夏威夷州州长乔什·格林（Josh Green，民主党）表示，他是一名家庭医生，也是肯尼迪的激烈批评者。他表示，他与夏皮罗已经讨论过发起一项全国疫苗接种运动。

宾夕法尼亚州的政治战略家和其他该州民主党人警告，不要将夏皮罗针对肯尼迪的言论解读为总统竞选的铺垫，他们认为，任何一位面对数百人感染且疫情不断扩大的州长，在认为联邦政府的信息传递损害居民利益时，都有义务提出质疑。

“他绝对是在做负责任的事情，并公开指责，而不是仅仅让 RFK 随心所欲地说话，”前宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员苏珊·怀尔德（Susan Wild）表示。

宾夕法尼亚州的麻疹疫情还揭示了公共卫生领域复杂的政治局势，自冠状病毒大流行和反疫苗误导信息兴起以来，该领域日益两极分化。夏皮罗因其政府在沟通死亡病例时细节异常匮乏，且与部分地方官员的说法相矛盾而受到指责。

兰开斯特县验尸官斯蒂芬·迪亚曼托尼（Stephen Diamantoni）在一次采访中表示，官员们在一名于 8 月 14 日出生后数小时死于脾脏裂伤的新生儿身上发现了麻疹感染的迹象。

但迪亚曼托尼表示，进行尸检的法医病理学家认为麻疹在死亡中没有起到作用。验尸官称，他的办公室在夏皮罗宣布消息前数小时已将此信息告知州卫生部门。

州卫生官员表示，只要病毒存在，他们就会将死亡病例归类为“麻疹相关”，即使该疾病未被确定为直接死因。

几位传染病专家表示，州长及其卫生部门最初应该发布更多关于死亡病例的信息，例如感染者的年龄。相反，包括反疫苗活动人士在内的其他人填补了这一信息真空。

“公共卫生信息的真空永远不会保持空白——它会被那些行动最快且最不在意准确性的人填补，”匹兹堡地区的传染病医生阿梅什·阿达尔贾（Amesh Adalja）在一条短信中表示。“州政府和夏皮罗州长的沟通失败及其缺乏透明度，相当于发出了正式邀请，让小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（RFK Jr）及其盟友趁虚而入，现在他们掌控了舆论，而一场未受控制的麻疹疫情正在全州蔓延。”

麻疹病例增加

宾夕法尼亚州的麻疹病例在周五达到了 460 例，病例数在夏季开始攀升，促使州政府官员就当地商店的潜在接触风险发出警告，并举办临时疫苗接种诊所。美国很快将报告 1991 年以来单年最高数量的麻疹病例，在 2026 年尚未结束的情况下，已超过去年的总数。

大多数儿童在经历数日的发烧、咳嗽和瘙痒性皮疹后会康复，但该疾病还可能导致肺炎、脑肿胀、耳聋和智力障碍。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据，死亡病例已变得极其罕见，每 1,000 名感染儿童中大约有 1 到 3 人死于呼吸系统和神经系统并发症。

周二，州卫生部门官员表示，他们已确认两例与麻疹相关的死亡病例，死者均未接种疫苗。他们表示，兰开斯特县的这两起死亡病例是宾夕法尼亚州 35 年来首例与麻疹相关的死亡，也是今年美国报告的首例死亡病例。

在新闻发布会上，夏皮罗和卫生官员多次表示，为了保护患者隐私，他们不会提供进一步的信息。

迪亚曼托尼（Diamantoni）是一位共和党家庭医生，于 2007 年首次当选验尸官，他表示其中一例是一个新生儿，在由助产士接生后于一个分娩中心死亡。他表示，该病例随后被州政府官员确认是他们宣布的两例之一，目前仍在调查中，且不具备麻疹死亡的典型特征。

州卫生部门周四表示，麻疹会导致脾脏出现严重的炎症，使其变得更加脆弱且容易发生危及生命的破裂。没有参加尸检的迪亚曼托尼表示，病理学家告诉他，该患者的脾脏没有肿大，也没有炎症。

但一些人对验尸官如何能如此断定表示怀疑。费城儿童医院的传染病医生保罗·奥菲特（Paul Offit）表示，一旦脾脏破裂，很难判断其此前是否肿大。奥菲特一直与州卫生官员就该病例保持联系，他说道：“如果你发现一个瘪了的气球，你真的能看出它之前有多大，以及它是如何开始的吗？”

截然不同的说法促使一名共和党兰开斯特县委员猛烈抨击州政府处理死亡公告的方式。

“你不能抛出这样一个重磅炸弹，然后基本上说围绕它的所有信息都是最高机密，”该委员乔什·帕森斯（Josh Parsons）在周四的一篇冗长的 X 帖子中说道。帕森斯未回应置评请求。

公共卫生机构通常会提供关于疾病爆发受害者的基本信息，例如年龄、性别以及是否患有潜在健康状况，但详细程度各异。

“弥补关于这些悲剧性死亡的混乱沟通的唯一方法，是在尊重处于困难时期的家属的同时，提供充足的信息以澄清这些个体的医疗状况，”德米特里·达斯卡拉基斯（Demetre Daskalakis）说道。他曾任 CDC 负责监督免疫接种和包括麻疹在内的呼吸道病毒中心的负责人，于一年前辞职，以抗议他所谓的肯尼迪对科学的政治化。

夏皮罗的发言人威尔·西蒙斯（Will Simons）为有限的信息披露辩护，称其在通过快速披露死亡病例促进公共卫生的同时，保护了患者的机密性。他表示，保护患者信息有助于公共卫生官员维持社区的信任。

周五，夏皮罗表示，卫生部门已经分享了州法律允许的所有信息，并且“那两起死亡病例与麻疹相关”。他表示，他的卫生部门正与 CDC 和其他联邦机构保持“定期沟通”。

“目前不符合公众利益的是与那些在网上散布不负责任的阴谋论的人进行口舌之争，”夏皮罗在宣布为当地警察局和市政大楼维修提供新资金的新闻发布会上表示。

肯尼迪的一位发言人在回答问题时，指向了美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）在社交媒体上发布的一条帖子，该帖子称该机构已准备好帮助宾夕法尼亚州应对此次疫情。CDC 表示，肯尼迪试图“澄清关于报告死亡人数的相互矛盾的信息”，并指责州长办公室未提供信息且拒绝了援助请求。宾夕法尼亚州官员对这一说法表示异议。

“准确性对于可靠的国家数据、透明度和公众信任至关重要，”CDC 在 X 平台上表示。

疫苗接种率下降

宾夕法尼亚州的疫情爆发正值该州儿童麻疹疫苗接种率全州范围内下降之际。

宾夕法尼亚州幼儿园儿童的麻疹疫苗接种率从 2019 年的 96.4% 下降到 2025 年的 93.2%，且自疫情前以来，美国大部分地区的接种率均出现骤降。

在兰开斯特县，这一跌幅更为剧烈，接种率从近 95%（专家认为这是防止感染引发疫情所需的水平）下降到 2025-2026 学年的约 87%。在同一时期，寻求基于哲学和宗教理由豁免疫苗接种要求的家庭比例分别翻倍至 4.7% 和 5.9%。

根据州政府的数据，兰开斯特还是全美最大的阿米什社区所在地，几年前该社区的接种率约为 25%。州政府官员尚未说明此次疫情是否集中在阿米什人群中。

FactPost 和 Headquarters 等民主党主要快速反应账号以及民主党政治人物传播了一段视频剪辑，内容是肯尼迪 2021 年在兰开斯特县露面时淡化麻疹的严重性。

“我是一个麻疹幸存者，”时任反疫苗组织负责人的肯尼迪说道，引起了人群的笑声。“我和我的兄弟姐妹们不得不整整一周都待在家里看电视。”

他像往常一样声称，治疗麻疹的方法是鸡汤和维生素 A。他还警告在场的部分观众，政府官员将竭尽全力强迫他们接种疫苗。

无犯罪记录移民被捕人数激增

被逮捕并驱逐出境，亚瑟（Arthur）表示。

上个月被联邦移民官员拘留的移民中，超过一半没有犯罪记录。

“ICE 面临着逮捕更多人的压力，这导致他们不再试图追捕那些最危险的罪犯，而是逮捕在任何给定日子里最容易被定位的人。”

ICE 正在转移目标和策略以增加拘留人数

作者：大卫·中村（DAVID NAKAMURA） 及 埃马纽埃尔·马丁内斯（EMMANUEL MARTINEZ）

根据最新公布的政府数据，自总统唐纳德·特朗普去年重返白宫以来，美国移民和海关执法局（）拘留的没有犯罪记录的移民人数达到了最高点。

特朗普政府的官员一直声称，他们的目标是通过针对“最危险的罪犯”——即犯有暴力犯罪或重复犯罪的无证移民——来进行执法，从而确保美国人的安全。然而，新数据显示， 在 7 月逮捕的所有人员中，超过一半没有犯罪记录，这是自 2025 年 1 月以来单月最高总数。

这种转向针对更多仅有民事移民违规但无刑事指控人员的做法，帮助 实现了总逮捕人数的纪录。根据《华盛顿邮报》对政府数据的分析，联邦当局在 7 月共拘留了超过 49,000 名移民，这是特朗普第二任期内的最高总数。 的逮捕数据由“驱逐数据项目”（Deportation Data Project）公开，该外部组织是通过一项《信息自由法》诉讼获得这些资料的。

移民律师和分析师表示，这些数字反映了国土安全部（DHS）不断演变的方法，因为官员们正急于完成特朗普的大规模驱逐计划目标，且越来越多的人失去了免于被遣返的保护。政府已经取消了数十万名逃离危险国家移民的临时保护状态，并且还逮捕了那些申请庇护或绿卡申请尚在处理中、此前并非执法目标的人员。

“ 面临着逮捕更多人的压力，这导致他们不再试图追捕那些最危险的罪犯，而是逮捕在任何给定日子里最容易被定位的人，”移民政策研究所分析师朱莉娅·格拉特（Julia Gelatt）表示。“当美国人思考他们希望 关注谁时，他们想到的是坏人——杀人犯和其他严重罪犯。他们不会想到那些违反了移民法但除此之外守法的人。”

在给《邮报》的电子邮件回复中，一名国土安全部发言人表示，本报道所使用的信息“未经审查、审计或提供背景”，并称其被用于“散布虚假叙事”。该发言人声称， 逮捕的人员中近 70% 有刑事定罪或待决的刑事指控，该机构自去年以来多次引用这一数字。

“这些人中的每一个在非法进入这个国家时都犯了罪，”该发言人说。

事实上，许多被拘留者是合法入境的，例如持有后来过期的签证。这些人通常面临的是民事移民违规而非刑事指控，而且他们正日益成为执法行动的重点。

自 2 月份逮捕人数降至 30,000 人以下以来， 稳步增加了拘留人数。此前，由于上个月明尼阿波利斯的移民官员杀害了两名美国公民雷妮·古德（Renée Good）和亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti），引发了公众愤怒。

联邦数据显示，此后被拘留的人数每月都在增加，6 月份攀升至 42,500 人以上，并在 7 月份再次增加。

这一增长与美国国土安全部（DHS）执法能力的重大扩张相吻合，而这得益于国会去年批准了超过 1700 亿美元 billion 的追加资金。政府雇佣了数千名额外的移民与海关执法局（ICE）和边境巡逻队官员，购买了新的监控技术，并增加了更多的移民拘留设施。

政府还在扩大逮捕的范围和方式。通过与数十家当地执法机构（其中许多位于该国保守地区）建立的新伙伴关系，ICE 能够授权这些官员并协助他们进行移民逮捕。

“激增现象正发生在机场以及任何他们能够实施的地方，”布伦南司法中心（Brennan Center for Justice）的国家安全与移民法专家马吉·奥赫伦（Margy O'Herron）表示。“他们正在取消申请庇护者的签证，以及那些此前拥有某种免于被驱逐保护的人——政府知道这些人是谁，也知道他们住在哪里。”

自特朗普重返办公室以来， 已逮捕了超过 50 万人，其中近 40 percent 没有犯罪记录。截至 Aug. 6, 今年拘留的无犯罪记录人数已超过 2025. 全年的总和。政府目前拘留的人数也已经超过了乔·拜登总统整个任期内、特朗普首个任期以及巴拉克·奥巴马总统最后一个任期内 拘留的人数。

主张加强移民管制的移民研究中心（Center for Immigration Studies）研究员亚特·亚瑟（Art Arthur）表示，国土安全部增加的资源导致了更多的逮捕。他指出，国土安全部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）加大了说服无证移民自愿离境的力度，包括提供 $2,600. 的现金津贴。

如果没有被

“除非存在执法威胁，否则你无法让那些在这里生活了三年的非刑事外籍人士离开，”他说。

在明尼阿波利斯发生的古德和普雷蒂被杀事件导致公众对特朗普驱逐计划的支持率大幅下降。这种抵制促使总统决定任命马林为国土安全部长。他接替了克里斯蒂·L·诺姆（Kristi L. Noem），后者的领导期间以频繁发生的官员涉入枪击事件以及在美城市开展的大规模 和边境巡逻队突袭为特征。

马林采取了他所描述的更为低调的方式，减少对张扬武力展示的关注。

白宫一直敦促国土安全部每天至少逮捕 2,000 名移民， 在夏季的四天中达到了这一目标。On July 13, 一名 官员开枪击毙了 25 岁的哥伦比亚移民约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·杜兰·格雷罗（Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero），当时是在缅因州比德福德的一次交通拦截中。

数据显示，此后 保持了高强度的逮捕节奏，平均每天拘留近 1,500 人。

民主党人抨击政府的做法，称联邦官员恐吓了包括儿童和老年人在内的移民社区。马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔（Wes Moore，民主党）周二表示，过去两周被 拘留的 1,300 多人中，只有“极小一部分”有犯罪记录。

摩尔表示，他的州将与联邦政府合作抓捕暴力犯罪者。但他表示，广泛地针对移民已经损害了经济，并破坏了移民社区与执法部门之间的信任。

“这并没有让我们变得更安全，”摩尔在的一份声明中说道。

在六个州，2026 年迄今为止无犯罪记录移民的逮捕人数比去年全年增加了一倍多。增幅最大的是缅因州， 在 2025 逮捕了 125 人，而今年已经拘留了约 330 人。阿拉巴马州、怀俄明州、爱达荷州、密西西比州和密苏里州的逮捕人数也增加了一倍多。

在 20 多个州，逮捕人数有所下降，其中降幅最大的是哥伦比亚特区。美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）去年在国家首都加强了行动，总计在 2025 年逮捕了 1,200 名没有犯罪记录的人员。今年到目前为止，ICE 在该市逮捕了 72 名此类移民。

交易员预计美联储将加息，沃什对此保持谨慎

（接 A1 页通胀报道）

56 岁的沃什将人工智能的发展誉为“历史的转折点”，认为其提供了“大幅提高增长的潜力”。但他表示，目前这种长期前景被击败通胀的紧迫需求所掩盖。

“美联储目前的重点应该是价格，”沃什说。“我们必须确信基础通胀正清晰且足够快速地向我们的目标移动。否则，我们还有工作要做。”

据个人消费支出（PCE）价格指数显示，沃什认可美联储传统的年度 2% 物价上涨的通胀目标，称其为“一个坚定的固定目标”。

在过去的六个月中，美联储跟踪的单项产品价格中，有近一半的年增长率超过 3%。沃什表示，这一比例虽低于疫情期间的最高点，但“仍然相当之高”。

这位央行行长在回应质疑其抗通胀计划的批评者时表示，美联储对短期利率的控制仍然是实现其目标的“主导工具”。他对比率设定和 PCE 指数的认可，似乎旨在澄清他在 7 月新闻发布会上的言论，当时他暗示可以考虑其他替代方案。

但沃什再次坚持他那备受争议的策略，即拒绝就美联储未来的行动提供“前瞻性指引”。他说，“一个更安静的美联储”将能更好地引导经济实现物价稳定和充分就业。

“关于未来政策决定的沟通透明度本身并不是一种美德。沟通必须服务于美联储的首要责任：确保货币政策正确，”沃什说。

在周五的演讲前夕，投资者渴望获得任何关于沃什在何时以及是否会提高短期利率的思考线索。他在这一点上持续的模糊态度似乎让现场部分听众感到沮丧。

前美联储经济学家迈克尔·斯特雷恩（Michael Strain）表示，沃什在 7 月反对加息时也发表过类似的言论。斯特雷恩现在就职于中右翼智库美国企业研究所（American Enterprise Institute），他表示，虽然沃什周五的言论暗示如果通胀不下降，美联储最终将加息，但沃什并未透露可能的时机，也没有说明在采取行动前还需要什么样的额外证据。

“市场在寻求清晰度，”斯特雷恩说。“你不知道他心中关于美联储何时应对‘充分就业经济与通胀高于目标’这一组合情况的具体时间表。”

彼得森国际经济研究所所长亚当·波森（Adam Posen）表示，沃什是在暗示“最好的做法是以一种不透明且没有一致成功记录的方式，在最后一刻做出决定”。

在沃什演讲期间，对美联储加息最敏感的两年期国债收益率从演讲前的 4.23% 上升至 4.31%。股市基本持平。

在由堪萨斯城联邦储备银行主办、吸引全球央行行长、经济学家和记者前往怀俄明州壮丽的大提顿山脉参加的年度夏末会议上，沃什的讲话是所有美联储主席中最为受关注的发言之一。

自从接替前任杰罗姆·H·鲍威尔以来，沃什一直毫不留情地批评美联储未能控制通胀，而通胀自新冠疫情以来已处于高位超过五年。或许是为了向任命他的民粹主义总统表示认同，沃什表示，由于美联储未能将通胀控制在合理范围内，受苦最深的是“勤劳的美国人”，而非“金融高飞者”。

这位主席面临着艰巨的局面。他领导着一个分歧严重的美联储，其利率设定委员会中至少有三名成员在记录中支持提高利率以减缓物价上涨。由于对国家 40 万亿美元总公共债务的担忧，长期债券收益率本月有所上升。此外，财政部长斯科特·贝森特对金融市场的干预方式被一些分析师认为可能与沃什的目标相冲突。

在处理这些眼前忧虑的同时，沃什试图引导经济度过一个剧烈变革的时代。随着美国和其他国家寻求更高程度的自给自足，二战末期建立的基于规则的全球秩序正在崩溃。而一项颠覆性的新技术——人工智能，正以极快的速度重塑市场和经济。

在上个月底那场言辞谨慎的新闻发布会后，包括摩根大通在内的投资银行分析师表示，沃什拒绝详细阐述其抗击通胀的计划，这引发了人们对其是否愿意通过提高短期借贷成本来实现目标的怀疑。唐纳德·特朗普总统公开坚持认为，在新任美联储主席领导下，利率应该下调而非上调，这进一步加剧了上述担忧。

但沃什表示，他决心迫使投资者独立做出决定，而不是依赖于对国家央行动向的预期。他周五表示，尽管前瞻性指引在 2008 年金融危机期间是“至关重要的”，但“我认为这种做法已经过时了”。

金融市场对沃什在公开场合的沉默表现得并不在意。自他就任美联储主席之日起，通胀预期几乎没有变化。根据标准市场衡量指标，股票和债券交易的波动率也一直保持在正常范围内。

近期显示经济前景改善的经济数据，或许可以解释近期债券收益率上升的部分原因。根据商务部本周的更新数据，虽然第二季度经济增长率仅为 1.5% 的平庸年率，但潜在的活动指标则强劲得多。

商务部表示，一些经济学家认为更能衡量经济状况的“私人国内购买者最终销售额”修正后增长了 4.2%，高于最初估计的 3.9%。消费支出和企业投资都在支撑着经济。

另一份报告显示，7 月份通胀依然处于高位，美联储首选的衡量指标比去年同月上涨 3.7%。这一增速与 6 月持平，但仍远高于美联储 2% 的目标。

在 7 月的上次会议上，美联储政策委员会维持短期利率不变。但联邦公开市场委员会的三名投票成员对 9 人多数派持有异议，后者倾向于将利率维持在目前的 3.5% 至 3.75% 范围内。

特朗普在封口费案中被驳回请求

总统试图撤销定罪的最新尝试被联邦法官拒绝

作者：杰里米·罗布克（JEREMY ROEBUCK）

一名联邦法官周五拒绝了总统唐纳德·特朗普试图撤销其封口费案定罪的最新请求，裁定他在尝试将案件移交给联邦法院方面等待时间过长。特朗普的律师此前辩称，在联邦法院他将享有更广泛的免于起诉的豁免权。

美国地方法院法官阿尔文·K·海勒斯坦（Alvin K. Hellerstein）表示，如果特朗普的法律团队想要寻求该选项，他们应该在 2024 年 5 月纽约州法院做出有罪判决后立即采取行动。

他们等待了近两个月，期间首先向监督此案的纽约州法官请愿，要求根据 2024 年最高法院的裁决撤销定罪。该裁决授予总统在任职期间采取的官方行为享有广泛的免于起诉的保护。

但海勒斯坦得出结论，即使特朗普及时提出了该请求，也没有法律依据将其移交。

法官写道：“被告唐纳德·J·特朗普所引用的……移交理由既非新出现，也不具备法律充分性。”

“他未能证明其具有正当理由和勤勉态度。”

特朗普法律团队的一名发言人在一份声明中称海勒斯坦的决定“毫无根据且无法律依据”。几小时内，总统的律师提交了上诉通知。

该发言人的声明称：“最高法院关于豁免权的里程碑式裁决、联邦和纽约州宪法以及其他既定法律先例，都要求将曼哈顿地区检察官发起的这场‘政治猎巫’移交给联邦法院，并立即撤销和驳回。”

一名纽约陪审团此前判定特朗普犯有 34 项伪造商业记录的重罪，旨在掩盖向成人电影演员斯托米·丹尼尔斯（Stormy Daniels）支付的封口费。丹尼尔斯此前指控与特朗普有染，这曾威胁到他 2016 年的总统竞选。

在他第二任期开始前不久，他被判处无条件释放，从而免于入狱，但定罪依然有效。特朗普否认了丹尼尔斯的指控，并否认自己犯有任何罪行。

海勒斯坦由比尔·克林顿总统任命，他曾两次拒绝特朗普将案件移交给联邦法院的类似请求——第一次是在他被起诉后，第二次是在他被定罪后。

法官周五的决定是在去年一家联邦上诉法院将该问题发回海勒斯坦审理之后做出的。该上诉法院表示，法官需要更仔细地考虑，特朗普审判中使用的一些证据在最高法院的豁免权裁决下是否会被视为不可接纳。

在周五的决定中，海勒斯坦就这一点给出了明确答复。

他写道：“关于支付封口费以掩盖总统与斯托米·丹尼尔斯关系的讨论，绝无可能被视为官方行为。”

“婚外情，或掩盖婚外情，并不在总统官方职责的‘外部范围’之内。”

除了提交给海勒斯坦的事项外，总统还请求纽约州上诉法院撤销该定罪。

美国民众反对执法部门使用 AI 驱动的摄像头

一台 摄像头。自 2017 年以来， 已在全国安装了 120,000 台以上的此类设备。

tial for invasive monitoring and police misuse.

这些摄像头被 等私营公司广泛宣传为打击犯罪的突破性技术，该公司自 2017 年以来已在全国安装了 120,000 台以上的此类设备。但在 YouGov 一项专门与《华盛顿邮报》分享的调查中，美国人表示这些系统并不能让他们感到更安全，且他们不希望在自家附近安装这些摄像头。

根据《邮报》对播客出场、演讲和社交媒体帖子的分析，这些调查结果出现在知名右翼和左翼账号对 的在线批评激增之后。在初夏时分，一些共和党人嘲讽该技术是“大规模监控网络”的一部分，批评声随之爆发。

分析发现，此后右翼账号发布关于 摄像头的次数是左翼账号的三倍多。参议院司法委员会犯罪与反恐小组委员会主席、参议员乔什·霍利（Josh Hawley，共和党-密苏里州）多次发帖，表示将对该技术的使用发起联邦调查。众议员奇普·罗伊（Chip Roy，共和党-德克萨斯州）上个月在 X 上发帖称：“大规模监控 + 政府 + AI 是自由的极坏组合。”

相关公司及其支持者表示，这些摄像头有助于阻止绑架、寻找逃犯以及调查暴力袭击。该公司表示，全国约 18,000 个执法机构中，有近 40% 与 签订了合同，并声称其系统每年帮助警员调查 100 万 起犯罪案件。

这些工具也引发了担忧，因为它们记录了无辜者的行踪，并可能被转化为个人间谍设备。《邮报》本月报道称，至少有 69 名警察官员被指控、被起诉或被判定滥用车牌识别器用于未经授权的目的，包括跟踪其女友或前妻。

尽管民主党人和共和党人在个人隐私和警察权力的一些问题上存在分歧，但 YouGov 的调查发现，两党在“警察在访问车牌数据前应持有搜查令”这一观点上达成了广泛共识，约四分之三的民主党人以及约 6 in 10 的独立人士和共和党人表示同意。

目前，警员在搜索大多数车牌识别系统时不需要搜查令，而这些系统可能包含车辆数月的地点记录，即使是数千英里外的车辆也不例外。该系统的支持者表示，搜查令要求将在紧急情况下削弱系统的有效性。

一名 发言人对 YouGov 的部分问题提出异议，称该公司未能以中立的方式解释这项技术，并表示其他民调显示，当调查效益被更清晰地陈述时，车牌识别器会获得更广泛的支持。

该发言人在一份声明中表示：“我们从数据以及每天听到的客户反馈中得知，ALPR 技术得到了广泛支持。”

首席执行官加勒特·兰利（Garrett Langley）在采访中公开为该系统辩护，称公司已实施保障措施以打击滥用，且该工具对于保护美国人的安全和安心至关重要。

他上周告诉福克斯新闻（Fox News）：“当人们只谈论隐私或安全其中之一时，他们的优先级搞错了。我们作为一个国家必须优先考虑的是折中方案。”

《邮报》还将该调查结果分享给了美国其他几家主要的车牌识别器供应商，包括 Axon、摩托罗拉解决方案（Motorola Solutions）和

Leonardo。这些公司没有立即回应置评请求。

自动车牌识别器（简称 ALPRs）在收费站和警车上扫描主要道路已有二十多年时间。但 Flock 公司对小镇合同的追求及其低成本的订阅模式，推动了这种鞋盒大小的摄像机近期安装量的激增，使其在美国人的日常通勤中变得日益普遍。

直到去年，这些系统还获得广泛支持，但针对滥用案例的抗议和近期报道导致公众情绪发生了逆转。本周一项针对约 20,000 名美国成年人的 YouGov 调查发现，46% 的人表示反对在他们的社区中使用该技术，而支持率则为 38%。

去年被问到同样的问题时，33% 的人表示反对，45% 的人表示支持。调查称，这一变化主要由民主党人和独立人士反对率的激增驱动，而共和党人的反对率仅略有上升。

在另一项分享给《邮报》的针对约 1,000 名美国成年人的 YouGov 调查中，美国人对于在社区安装车牌识别器的支持程度大致持平，但略微反对在他们居住的街道上安装摄像机。

许多人表示，他们并不认同这些公司关于遏制犯罪的承诺。约 43% 的人表示，这些系统让他们觉得“既没有更安全，也没有更不安全”，而 27% 的人表示感觉更安全。38% 的人表示不相信摄像机能减少周边犯罪，而 30% 的人则相信。

略多于半数的人表示，保护个人隐私比给执法部门提供更多打击犯罪的工具更重要。超过 4 成的人表示担心社区中的政府监视和警察渎职，认为这些问题比非法移民更严重。约 70% 的人表示，政府监视在过去 25 年中“大幅增加”，其中约一半的人认为这种监控“过多”。

美国人普遍不认同该行业的商业模式，4 成人认为不应允许车牌识别公司向警察机构收取数据访问费。大多数人认为应允许警察使用摄像机追踪被盗车辆、寻找失踪人员或调查暴力犯罪，但许多人还表示，应禁止警察使用这些系统追踪政治抗议者、持有临时合法身份的非美国公民，或在限制堕胎的州追踪孕妇。

虽然三分之二的美国人认为警员经常或有时使用摄像机来破案，但超过 4 成的人认为，摄像机也被用于跟踪或骚扰私人公民，或用于针对无辜者构建刑事案件。

YouGov 的调查是通过该公司的选择性加入（opt-in）在线面板在成年美国人中进行的，并根据人口统计特征、党派倾向和 2024 年总统选举结果进行了加权处理。

这些发现可能会激发国会跨党派日益增长的抵制情绪，包括参议员罗恩·怀登（Ron Wyden，俄勒冈州民主党人），他曾表示 Flock 的滥用“不仅有可能，而且不可避免”；以及众议员安德鲁·克莱德（Andrew Clyde，来自 Flock 公司总部所在地佐治亚州的共和党人），他上个月在 X 上表示，“Flock 摄像机属于共产主义中国，而不属于美利坚合众国”。

政治候选人也开始将摄像机滥用问题纳入其政纲。佛罗里达州众议员、正竞选美国参议员的民主党人安吉·尼克松（Angie Nixon）在本周的一次电视采访中表示：“我不想削减警察经费，我想削减 Flock 摄像机的经费，这样坏警察就没能力去跟踪他们的前女友。”

森特顿（Centerton）的议员考格尔（Cowgur）表示，在他所在的本顿维尔（Bentonville）郊区，他接触到的邻居们越来越多地表示，他们不喜欢自己的行车信息被记录并存储在在线数据库中的想法。他补充说，他不认为这些摄像头在解决大量当地犯罪方面起到了作用。森特顿警方未回应置评请求。

他说，当该市采用这些摄像头时，领导层认为“这是一种真正保护和服务城市的方式”。“你是希望有人一天24小时盯着你的后院，还是希望拥有一道隐私之墙，你懂吗？”

用音乐治疗帕金森病的一种方法

口琴课程可能正帮助患者找回声音

作者：MEERI KIM

大约十年前，尼尔·富米塔（Neal Tomita）开始失去他的声音。他患有帕金森病，而声音和语言问题是该病常见的症状，随着这种神经系统疾病的进展，高达 90% 的患者会受到影响。

他曾经充满活力的谈吐开始变得模糊低沉，人们很难听懂他在说什么。他越来越多地陷入沉默，变得社交退缩，甚至在面对妻子时也是如此。

“尼尔和我以前经常就各种话题进行精彩的交谈，但突然之间，这种情况消失了。这让我感到非常孤独，”与富米塔结婚 27 年的谢丽尔·利普曼（Cheryl Lippman）说道。“而且，我听力不好，需要佩戴助听器。这简直是个宇宙级的玩笑：他说话声音轻，而我听不见。”

语言和声音的变化在帕金森病患者中很常见，因为导致身体震颤和僵硬的相同神经因素也会影响面部、口腔和喉部的肌肉。为了增强声音，富米塔开始每月进行一次语言治疗，并完成了专门为帕金森病设计的语言治疗计划。

大约两年前，富米塔和利普曼共同培养了一项出人意料的爱好，他们表示这帮助他说话声音更大、沟通更自信，并重新与他人建立联系：那就是吹口琴。

“我从未想象过一把简单的口琴能在我的生活中带来如此深远的改变，”没有音乐背景的富米塔说道。“它帮我找回了自己的声音。”

富米塔和利普曼均年届 79 岁，长期居住在夏威夷的欧胡岛，他们是“口琴帕金森项目”（Harmonica Parkinson's Project）的参与者。该项目教授这种进行性运动障碍患者如何吹奏口琴，目标是维持或改善语言能力。

该项目由就职于檀香山的物理治疗师凯文·洛克特（Kevin Lockette）发起。他每月两次为所有帕金森患者及其护理伙伴主持面对面课程和免费虚拟课程。参与者无需具备音乐背景。

“我从事帕金森病相关工作 30 年了，但吹口琴大概已经 40 年了，”Ohana Pacific Rehab 的共同所有者兼夏威夷帕金森协会副主席洛克特说道。“帕金森患者经常在发声、音高、发音清晰度和唾液管理方面存在问题——而讽刺的是，这些恰恰是你在吹口琴时需要练习的内容。”

利用音乐——甚至是口琴——来帮助帕金森患者的想法并不新鲜。音乐治疗（包括唱歌、跳舞和击鼓等活动）被认为能改善该病患者的运动症状、语言、认知问题和心理健康。

唱歌被认为能增强嗓音强度和单词发音能力，而哼鸣练习则可能放松紧张的声带。多年来，音乐治疗师和音乐家一直向帕金森患者群体教授口琴，旨在增强呼吸功能、肺活量和发声响度。

在 20 世纪 90 年代初——远在 Zoom 时代之前——两名弗吉尼亚州的音乐家就向整个北美的帕金森支持小组提供课程和数百把免费口琴。此外，总部位于圣迭戈的音乐治疗公司 MusicWorx 为帕金森患者及其护理伙伴提供为期 12 周的口琴课程。

今年 5 月，洛克特及其同事在世界帕金森大会上展示了一项初步研究的结果，探讨将口琴课程作为治疗帕金森相关语言困难的一种手段。在该研究中，研究人员将 22 名帕金森患者（包括富米塔在内）随机分为两组：一组在三个月内每周参加两次面对面的口琴课程，另一组接受传统的语言治疗。

一名语言治疗师和一名神经内科医生在干预前后对参与者进行了测试，以观察语言及其他特征是否有所改善。

尽管样本量较小，但口琴组在语言清晰度和平均发声强度等方面的改善程度高于对照组。

虽然还需要更大规模的临床试验来证明其益处，但该研究成功证明了为帕金森病患者开设口琴小组课程的可行性——以及由此带来的快乐。

“很长一段时间以来，我第一次看到尼尔在与真正理解他处境的人一起演奏时，露出了自信的微笑，”在研究期间参加课程的四位护理伙伴之一利普曼说道，“这不仅改善了尼尔的语言能力，也丰富了我们两人的生活。”

在针对帕金森病的传统语言治疗中，治疗师通过包括持音和重复短语在内的日常练习，帮助患者专注于更大声且有意识地发声。未参与该研究的神经学家迈克尔·奥昆认为，在语言治疗之外演奏口琴可能对帕金森病患者有益。

“这些音乐家必须协调面部肌肉和舌头动作，这种协调能力对帕金森病等疾病是有好处的，”奥昆在解释时表示，这还可能有助于预防吸入性肺炎（一种由吸入食物或液体引起的肺部感染）。

帕金森病已成为全球增长最快的神经系统疾病，过去 25 年间，患病人数增加了一倍多。预计到 2050 年，全球将有 2520 万 人患有此病。

虽然语言障碍很常见，但绝大多数帕金森病患者并未接受语言治疗，因为人们过度关注震颤、僵直和迟缓等与运动相关的问题。而且，对于某些人来说，坚持每天进行传统的语言练习具有挑战性。

“目前有多项指南指出，物理治疗、职业治疗以及语言和吞咽治疗至关重要，且应应用于帕金森病，”诺曼·菲克塞尔神经疾病研究所执行主任兼帕金森基金会医学顾问奥昆表示，“但实际上只有极少部分的人在使用。”

许多帕金森病患者及其亲属表示，疾病带来的沟通挑战是与之共存过程中最艰难的部分之一。

当富田在 55 岁被诊断出患有帕金森病时，他与利普曼尝试了各种方法来对抗症状并延缓病情进展。众所周知，运动有助于缓解这些症状，作为一名热衷于骑行的爱好者，他多年来继续在欧胡岛骑行，甚至完成了艰巨的 100 英里檀香山百年骑行赛。多年来，这对夫妇参加了拳击、普拉提、瑜伽、太极、合气道和水上健身操。除了保持活跃，他还接受了药物治疗，随后接受了深脑刺激手术，这在最初阶段帮助改善了他的许多运动症状。

当他的声音开始变得微弱时，利普曼带他去看语言病理学家进行治疗，富田也开始在家里进行日常练习以维持语言能力的改善。

目前，这对夫妇继续参加虚拟口琴课程。洛克特还在“口琴帕金森项目”的 YouTube 频道上发布免费的随选视频课程。

“这些课程向所有帕金森病患者及其护理人员开放——事实上，如果其他人想加入，我不会拒绝任何人，”洛克特说，“只要确保你有一把 C 调的口琴，就没问题。”

“我从未想象过，一把简单的口琴能给我的生活带来如此深远的改变。它帮我重新找到了自己的声音。”

学校与城市面临数十年之久的虐待指控带来的成本压力

官员和律师表示，去年洛杉矶县达成的 40 亿美元 billion 和解协议是美国历史上最大规模的儿童性虐待和解案。 PATRICK T. FALLON / 迟到的正义 伴随着 财务清算

作者：汉娜·诺尔斯（HANNAH KNOWLES）

洛杉矶 —— 对于儿童性虐待受害者而言，2019 年一项扩大起诉时限的加州法律带来了迟到已久的问责。

而对于那些需要为员工数十年前的罪行买单的地方政府来说，这些诉讼引发了一场财务噩梦。

和解金额屡创新高。学区的保险成本激增。一座城市在为一名前警局调度员支付了超过 2.29亿美元（超过其年度预算的四分之一）后，宣布处于“财政困境”。

如今，在该法律通过七年后，加州官员们正面临一个令人不安的问题：代价是否太高了？

“我完全支持问责……但我也认为这必须在合理的范围内，”戴安娜·里格比（Diana Rigby）说道。她是加州卡平特里亚（Carpinteria）一个小型学区的主管，该学区因一名在 20 世纪 80 年代被判定猥亵男孩的校长而被起诉。

她表示，该学区通过出售财产和借款，支付了 $5.7500 万 用于结案。“而这将使我在接下来的 10 年里持续承担成本。”

学校协会和其他团体一直向加州立法者施压，要求对起诉权增加更多限制。在本周立法机关年度休会前几天，议员们就该问题达成了一项最后一刻的协议。修订后的法案将包含反欺诈措施，并要求在某些案件中提供更多证据，但它不会限制赔偿金额，也不会更改诉讼时效。这些变动并未达到许多地方官员的预期。

“加州与幸存者站在一起，他们的声音在每一步过程中都塑造了这一进程，立法机关正在采取行动，以捍卫并维护幸存者寻求正义的途径 —— 这是不可谈判的，”加州州议会议长罗伯特·里瓦斯（Robert Rivas，民主党）表示。

受害者倡导者认为，无论多么迟到，他们都理应获得正义。

“解决方案不是切断受害者的途径，”帕特里克·麦克尼古拉斯（Patrick McNicholas）说道，他是去年一项与洛杉矶县达成的 40 亿美元 billion 和解协议的首席律师。官员和律师表示，这是美国历史上最大规模的儿童性虐待和解案。

他表示，2019 年的法律“带来了巨大的益处”。

近年来，在 #MeToo 运动引发公众愤怒并提高人们对幸存者难以发声原因的认识后，许多州扩大了儿童性虐待受害者的起诉能力。一些州，如马里兰州和佛蒙特州，完全取消了诉讼时效。其他州则为任何时间被侵害的人创建了临时的起诉窗口。

加州此前允许儿童性虐待受害者在 26. 岁之前提起诉讼。2019 年的法律将这一截止年龄改为 40 岁 —— 或者在受害者发现性侵导致心理创伤之日起五年内。官员表示，这还使得起诉地方政府变得更加容易。

这为 46, 岁的吉米·维吉尔（Jimmy Vigil）起诉洛杉矶县铺平了道路。维吉尔表示，他在青少年拘留所期间，他被

近年来，在 #MeToo 运动引发公众愤怒之后，许多州扩大了儿童性虐待受害者的起诉权利。

在工作人员的身体和性虐待之下。

他说，当他反抗一名医生的不当触摸时，结果被关进了禁闭室。他回忆道，当他试图举报一名缓刑工作人员的性虐待行为时，他受到了威胁，并被告知：“你需要明智地选择你的战斗。”

几十年后，在 2019 年法律通过后，他得知自己有机会起诉。其他受害者的类似陈述有助于证实他自己的经历。

他说，他很高兴看到一些问责机制——这是许多人唯一能获得的“正义形式”。但他也理解一些地方官员对成本的担忧。

“尤其是如果这会削减学区资金——如果这会削减像这样的项目，”他补充道，并点头示意他在一家由文图拉县承包的非营利机构心理健康项目中从事的工作。

对欺诈的担忧使该问题进一步复杂化。今年夏天，洛杉矶县地区检察官试图停止该县 40 亿美元和解金的支付，但未获成功；他暗示，可能有多达 4 分之 5 的索赔是欺诈性的。

受害者律师驳斥了这一数字，洛杉矶县法律顾问办公室表示，原告在获得付款前需经过严格的审核程序。

官员们表示，该县仍面临 5,400 起未涵盖在和解协议中的索赔。

洛杉矶县首席执行官约瑟夫·M·尼基塔（Joseph M. Nicchitta）在的一份声明中表示：“县政府在萨克拉门托寻求的立法救济是反欺诈的，而非反幸存者的，旨在遏制由 [2019 年法律] 促成的欺诈性和滥用性的律师执业行为。如果不修改法律，对我们社会安全网的威胁将是无限的。”

地方官员及其盟友游说州立法者，要求对针对公共实体的诉讼赔偿额设定上限，并提高索赔的证据要求，以及其他相关变更。

这场辩论的另一方是像约翰·曼利（John Manly）这样的倡导者，他是一名受害者律师，曾投放广告谴责此前一项遏制诉讼的尝试，称其为“捕食者屏蔽法”。

“在广告投放后的 48 小时内……该法案就被撤回了，”曼利说道，他曾在一起关于前美国国家体操队医生拉里·纳萨尔（Larry Nassar）性虐待的大规模和解案中代表受害者。

官员们表示，随着诉讼的堆积，即使是在没有巨额和解金的学区，保险成本也大幅飙升。在最近的一次新闻发布会上，亨廷顿比奇市学区的一位领导者表示，自 2019 年以来，每名学生的责任险和财产险成本——加上由诉讼引发的额外保险费用——已大致增长了四倍，达到 314 美元。

“这意味着可用于聘请和支付教师的资金减少了，”行政服务助理学监加里·斯泰恩（Gary Stine）表示。“这意味着班级规模增加，项目推迟。……这意味着我们无法增加社区所要求的额外心理咨询支持。”

提交文件中关于舞厅完工率的主张与预算及其他记录相矛盾

8月21日，“海军陆战队一号”直升机飞越白宫舞厅施工现场。白宫称该工程已完工65%。 JULIA DEMAREE NIKHINSON / AP

（接A1版舞厅报道）

克拉克建设公司在3月份向白宫提供的建设成本。本报此前曾报道过该成本估算。

在8月中旬的一份法院提交文件中，政府声称项目已完工65%，同时表示已支出“约2亿美元”。

如果政府在东翼项目上花费了2亿美元，那么根据6亿美元的预算估算，工程进度仅为33%。

“你确实需要了解为什么这里存在如此巨大的差距，”华盛顿特区附近的一位退休建筑师、美国建筑师学会前主席卡尔·埃莱凡特（Carl Elefante）表示。针对《华盛顿邮报》的调查结果，他称政府关于完工百分比的主张“令人怀疑”。

65%这一主张出自白宫管理与行政主管约书亚·费舍尔（Joshua Fisher）的一份宣誓声明，费舍尔负责监督该建设项目。在声明中，费舍尔并未解释该百分比是如何计算的，但表示：“工程进度已经太快，无法重新规划。”

费舍尔做出这一断言之际，政府正请求最高法院允许舞厅工程继续进行。此前，下级法院裁定，在没有国会批准的情况下，该项目可能非法，且必须停止施工。政府的部分理由是，在法院审理国家历史保护信托基金会（National Trust for Historic Preservation）提起的案件实质内容期间，停止施工将导致“毫无意义的混乱”，因为项目已经进展到“司法干预无法起作用的程度”。

白宫没有

回答《华盛顿邮报》关于65%这一数字的提问，而是提供了发言人戴维斯·英格尔（Davis Ingle）的一份声明。声明称：“在我国即将迎来独立250周年之际，特朗普总统继续实施早已过期且必要的翻修工程，以美化这座‘人民之屋’。感谢‘首席建设者’，白宫将得到妥善的美化，并在未来几代人的时间里保持绝佳状态。”

代表政府出庭的司法部（DOJ）未立即回应置评请求。费舍尔未回应置评请求。克拉克建设公司将相关问题转交给白宫。

克拉克建设公司的合同规定，公司将根据已完成工作的总百分比按月获得付款。据《华盛顿邮报》咨询的八位建筑专家称，这在行业内很常见，且支出金额是衡量大型建设项目完工情况的标准方法。

即便按照特朗普多次主张的——舞厅将耗资4亿美元且由私人捐赠者支付——来衡量进度，该工程也被认为仅完成了一半。

在公开声明中，总统有时会将舞厅的资金与与之相关的安全升级区分开来，政府承认后者将由特勤局和军方支付。克拉克建设公司3月份的预算估算显示，6亿美元总成本的一半将由纳税人的资金支付。

在请求最高法院允许施工继续进行的申请中，政府似乎在包含安全地下掩体在内的整体项目与舞厅之间做了类似的区分，文中写道：“项目进度按时且在预算之内，舞厅由约4亿美元的私人捐款资助……不需要也不要求使用纳税人的资金。”

根据政府提供的时间表，以预计的工作时长来衡量，该项目大约完成了 30%。

费舍尔在其声明中表示，工程于 2025 年 10 月下旬开始，预计将于 2028 年 8 月完工。这意味着在 34 个月的施工计划中，工程已进行了 10 个月。

据三名因未获授权描述内部讨论而要求匿名的知情人士透露，总统仍在对东翼的整体计划进行微调。

其中一些变更涉及舞厅的外观。政府本月与最高法院分享的效果图包括了一项由特朗普选定的新特征——舞厅外墙上的金色印章，以及对另一项特征（一座楼梯）的恢复，该楼梯曾被纳入之前的计划，但随后被放弃。

一名了解该项目的知情人士表示，工程远未达到 65% 的完工率。“我不确定他们连舞厅的设计是否完成了 65%，”该人士在嘲讽政府的说法时表示，“即便在施工期间，舞厅的基础设计仍在经历重大变更。”

怀俄明州投票监察员被指采取“激进”行动

共和党州长寻求 调查，称监察员 越权

作者：劳拉·梅克勒 (LAURA MECKLER) 以及 杰里米·罗巴克 (JEREMY ROEBUCK)

怀俄明州州长本周对美国司法部在州初选期间派遣的选举监察员采取的“激进”且“异常”的行为表示担忧。

一名当地选举官员也对监察员的行为表达了深切担忧，她表示这些行为超出了其职权范围，包括要求检查投票机。总统唐纳德·特朗普及其部分盟友一直盯着这些机器，在没有证据的情况下断言它们不可靠，但检查这些机器并不在监察员的职责之内。

作为其“监察计划”的一部分，司法部向该州人口最多的拉勒米县派遣了两名律师。

该机构长期以来一直派遣联邦监察员观察选举，但怀俄明州州长马克·戈登（共和党）表示，他们在 8 月 18 日初选期间的行为是不恰当的。

他本周告诉州选举委员会，他已要求怀俄明州总检察长进行调查。

“监察员的行为有点激进……而且很异常，”州长在周三的会议上说。“他们的行为似乎超过了国会赋予他们的权限。”

他表示，监察员称他们正在检查对《美国残疾人法案》和民权法的遵守情况。

“对于联邦政府进来没收我们的枪支，我的感受非常强烈，”戈登说。“我不喜欢那样，同样，我也不喜欢联邦政府进来夺走我们的选票。”

戈登表示，据他所知，当地的美国联邦检察官并不知晓本月的这次部署。怀俄明州联邦检察官达林·D·史密斯 (Darin D. Smith) 的发言人没有立即回应置评请求。

一名在华盛顿的司法部官员表示，史密斯已收到通知。

司法部民权司经常派遣律师和工作人员前往投票站，以评估对包括《投票权法》和《美国残疾人法案》在内的联邦投票法的遵守情况。该部门另行部署联邦观察员，根据《投票权法》，这些观察员有权进入受联邦法院命令管辖的投票和计票场所。该机构表示，在怀俄明州的两名监察员是民权司的律师。

从历史上看，此类监察员和联邦干预一直被用于保护投票权，特别是针对历史上被剥夺权利的群体。

但民主党人对这类监察员在即将到来的选举中可能被如何使用表示担忧，因为特朗普曾对选举操纵提出虚假指控，并对选民欺诈提出缺乏证据的指控。一些人担心，如果共和党在今年秋季的中期选举中遭遇失败，特朗普将利用联邦政府的机制来限制投票或进行干预。

特朗普曾表示，共和党应该将“投票全国化”并“接管投票”。宪法规定，选举管理权属于各州和国会，而非总统。

领导司法部民权司的助理总检察长哈米特·K·迪隆 (Harmeet K. Dhillon) 本月表示，该机构计划在选举日部署约 1,000 名投票监察员，在全国范围内观察投票——她称这一数字对于共和党政府来说是“历史性”的。

她并未说明监察员将被派往何处，也未说明今年的部署与往年有何不同。拉拉米县书记员德博拉·李（Debra Lee）也对怀俄明州监察员的行为表达了担忧。她在一份书面声明中表示，两名选举监察员提出的问题似乎“超出了联邦投票权法律的范围”。

“这些问题包括关于投票工作人员培训的性质、时长和时间。监察员要求提供培训指南，询问我们如何购置新的选举设备，并希望检查我们的计票机，”她说。

她表示，监察员还希望采访选民，“以评估对联邦民权法和投票权法的遵守情况”，但她拒绝了这一请求。

“我们不允许在投票站内进行采访，”李说。

她的声明称：“这是一次管理糟糕的行动，表现出对我们州法律和选举管理工作的完全漠视。”

一名在华盛顿的司法部官员在讨论该事件细节时要求匿名，并对这些指控的部分内容提出了异议。

该官员表示，在夏延（Cheyenne）的监察员询问了选举工作人员是否设有残疾人可进入的投票地点——该官员称这是一个为了确保遵守联邦法律而提出的“常见”问题。与当地官员的说法相反，司法部官员坚称监察员并未要求检查任何投票机。司法部未回答监察员是否要求提供培训指南、询问设备购置方式或试图采访选民。

一名司法部发言人指向了史密斯（Smith）办公室在选举日发布的一份声明。史密斯表示：“选民理应绝对相信他们的选票是安全的，且他们的声音在没有干扰的情况下被听到。我们正与当地官员合作，以确保每一张合法选票都得到保护。”

英国挑衅者被 ICE 拘留，面临驱逐

作者：ELAHE IZADI 和 NATALIE ALLISON

英国极右翼挑衅者、前 Yeezy 高管米洛·扬诺普洛斯（Milo Yiannopoulos）在路易斯安那州被美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）拘留，目前正等待被驱逐出境。

根据美国国土安全部发言人的一份声明，ICE 于周四在路易斯·阿姆斯特朗新奥尔良国际机场逮捕了扬诺普洛斯。发言人称其为一名“来自英国的非法外籍人士”，他于 2019 年合法进入美国，但随后“选择在违反我国法律的情况下逾期逗留”。

该机构表示，在扬诺普洛斯未出席移民听证会后，一名移民法官于 7 月 22 日对其下达了最终驱逐令。声明称，特朗普政府正“勤勉工作，以确保非法留在我国的外籍人士不能再乘坐飞机，除非是离开我国进行自我遣返”。

目前尝试联系扬诺普洛斯的代表均未成功。

扬诺普洛斯出生于英格兰，在唐纳德·特朗普于 2016, 崛起期间，他开始成为美国政坛一个极具争议的人物，当时扬诺普洛斯在斯蒂芬·K·班农（Stephen K. Bannon）的 Breitbart 担任编辑。

虽然扬诺普洛斯成为了另类右翼（alt-right）运动的领导者，但由于他频繁发表厌女言论、与白人至上主义者和反犹主义者往来，以及有其他争议性言论的历史（例如称 13 岁男孩与成年人之间的浪漫关系可以是合意的——后者导致他失去了出书和演讲的机会），他从未被接受为主流保守派人物。

近年来，尽管他试图将自己重新塑造为一名“前同性恋者”，并为时任众议员的马乔里·泰勒·格林（Marjorie Taylor Greene，共和党-佐治亚州）担任无薪实习生，但他已在右翼的讨论中基本淡出。

米洛·扬诺普洛斯

他对特朗普的支持多年来有所减弱，近期一直对总统持批评态度。去年 12 月，扬诺普洛斯作为嘉宾出现在塔克·卡尔森（Tucker Carlson）的节目中；卡尔森还计划在其新成立的出版品牌下出版扬诺普洛斯的一本书。

去年，扬诺普洛斯参加了一个由坎迪斯·欧文斯（Candace Owens）主持的播客——欧文斯是另一位从特朗普支持者转变为批评者的人物，她一直与具有影响力的 MAGA 博主劳拉·卢默（Laura Loomer）处于不和状态。

卢默告诉《华盛顿邮报》，自 2024 年起，她多次就扬诺普洛斯的问题联系 ICE、更广泛的国土安全部（DHS）以及联邦调查局（FBI）。她说，在扬诺普洛斯发布威胁性社交媒体帖子并号召对她实施暴力后，她向 FBI 举报了他。

在一次采访中，卢默将扬诺普洛斯被拘留归功于自己，称这“100%”是因为她引起了人们对他移民身份的关注。“还有谁举报米洛是非法外籍人士？”她说。

国土安全部没有立即回应卢默的言论。

扬诺普洛斯还曾在说唱歌手坎耶·韦斯特（Kanye West，又名 Ye）拥有的 Yeezy 公司担任幕僚长。扬诺普洛斯承认，是他邀请白人至上主义者尼克·富恩特斯（Nick Fuentes）参加 2022 年与 Ye 和特朗普的晚餐——此举给刚刚宣布 2024, 总统竞选活动的特朗普带来了负面影响。扬诺普洛斯后来告诉 NBC 新闻，他这么做“只是为了让特朗普的生活变得痛苦”。

扬诺普洛斯于 2024 年从 Yeezy 辞职，称原因是该说唱歌手据报道涉足成人娱乐业。随后，他与 Ye 一起被一组由八名员工组成的团体起诉，指控其营造敌对的工作环境；扬诺普洛斯否认了这些指控。

关于美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 修订后的新冠疫苗，您需要了解的事项

作者：蕾切尔·鲁宾 (RACHEL ROUBEIN)

疫苗制造商宣布，美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）周四批准了针对高风险美国人群（如老年人及患有至少一种基础健康疾病的人员）的更新版冠状病毒疫苗。

由疫苗制造商辉瑞-BioNTech (Pfizer-BioNTech) 和莫德纳 (Moderna) 研发的获批疫苗采用 mRNA 技术，其更新后的配方旨在更有效地针对全美境内流行的冠状病毒变异株。赛诺菲 (Sanofi) 的一名发言人确认，FDA 还批准了一款更新后的疫苗，该疫苗不使用 mRNA 技术，最初由 Novavax 获得许可。这些公司表示，疫苗预计将在未来几天内上市。

但关于哪些美国人应该接种疫苗的正式联邦建议仍存在疑问，这可能会使少数几个州的疫苗供应变得复杂。一个负责制定免疫建议的联邦疫苗专家小组目前陷入了法律僵局，此前一名联邦法官裁定，卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) 在去年解雇该小组所有成员后，对其进行的重新组建是不恰当的。

然而，公共卫生专家和其他参与疫苗接种工作的人员预计不会出现去年的大规模混乱。去年，由于联邦疫苗专家和联邦官员尚未就哪些美国人应接种疫苗发布正式建议，16 个州的药店最初无法提供冠状病毒疫苗。

“许多解决方案已经就绪，”莫德纳总裁斯蒂芬·霍格 (Stephen Hoge) 表示，“就目前情况而言，我们认为每个人——大多数州，以及所有的临床医生、药店或其他相关方——都已经计划好如何应对这一挑战。”

肯尼迪是一个知名反疫苗组织的创始人，他试图在部门关于谁应接种冠状病毒疫苗的一些变更中绕过传统流程。肯尼迪一直批评这些疫苗，而唐纳德·特朗普总统在疫情期间曾称这些疫苗为“现代奇迹”。

医学专家表示，疫苗能有效预防重症、住院和死亡，但根据美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 的数据，每年更新疫苗的接种率仍然较低。根据 8 月 19 日 CDC 的数据，47 个州的冠状病毒感染病例正在增加或可能增长。

在过去的几年里，新冠肺炎 (Covid-19) 通常在夏季会出现一波高峰，但传染病专家指出，目前病毒的传播率仍然较低，尤其是与去年夏天相比。

FDA 的最新批准意味着什么？

据相关公司称，具体而言，FDA 批准了针对 65 岁及以上成年人，以及患有至少一种导致其面临重症风险健康状况的人群的更新版疫苗。

去年，这涵盖了广泛的健康状况，如糖尿病、肥胖症、慢性肾脏病、缺乏体育活动等。

针对高风险儿童的具体疫苗取决于其年龄：莫德纳疫苗获批用于 6 个月及以上儿童，辉瑞疫苗用于 5 岁及以上儿童，赛诺菲疫苗用于 12 岁及以上儿童。

FDA 去年将疫苗的批准范围缩小至高风险群体，这对于这款曾经常规提供给几乎所有美国人的疫苗来说是一个重大转变。时任 FDA 局长马蒂·马卡里 (Marty Makary) 和首席疫苗监管官员维奈·普拉萨德 (Vinay Prasad)（两人均于今年早些时候离开该机构）制定了这一新方案，要求疫苗制造商在机构批准 6 个月至 64 岁健康人群接种疫苗之前，必须进行随机对照试验。

然而，大多数美国人仍然可以通过“超说明书”方式接种疫苗，这基本上意味着医生和其他医疗服务提供者可以将药物用于 FDA 未批准的人群。医生通常会权衡各种因素，包括主要医学会的建议、政府建议以及患者的个人健康状况。

疫苗官方推荐接种人群是谁？

CVS发言人艾米·蒂博（Amy Thibault）表示：

这是一个复杂的问题——目前尚不清楚今年是否会有新的联邦建议。

通常情况下，一个名为免疫接种实践咨询委员会（Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices）的专家疫苗咨询小组每年会对哪些人群应当接种更新后的冠状病毒疫苗进行投票。随后，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）会发布官方建议。

但目前尚未安排讨论冠状病毒疫苗的会议。这是因为一名联邦法官在3月份阻止了特朗普政府对疫苗政策的许多修改，包括暂时暂停任命绝大多数由肯尼迪亲手挑选的成员，其中一些成员曾有批评

“一旦疫苗到货，患者将能够查看哪家CVS药房和MinuteClinic诊所拥有哪种疫苗，以及预约情况。”

[—接上文—]使用mRNA冠状病毒疫苗的历史。

去年，该小组将“所有6个月及以上人群均应接种疫苗”的通用建议替换为一种更严格的方法。它要求所有人在此接种前咨询医疗保健提供者——该建议已被一名联邦法官暂停执行。

然而，在肯尼迪领导下实施的两项变更仍然有效：关于健康儿童和孕妇的修订。目前没有建议孕妇接种疫苗，而对于健康儿童，则建议通过“共同决策”来接种，这意味着父母和孩子应与医疗提供者沟通，并决定什么方案对他们最合适。

“这确实是前所未有的，”健康政策研究与新闻机构KFF的高级副总裁詹妮弗·凯茨（Jennifer Kates）表示，“我们以前从未遇到过这种情况。”

医学学会建议如何接种？

各医学学会计划在9月初发布关于谁应该接种更新疫苗的建议。

以下是主要协会最近的建议： • 儿童：美国儿科学会去年建议所有6个月至23个月大的儿童，以及患重症风险较高的人群接种冠状病毒疫苗。对于2至18岁的健康儿童，该组织表示，如果其父母或监护人希望他们获得保护，则可以接种更新疫苗。

• 成人：美国家庭医师学会去年建议所有19岁及以上的成年人接种疫苗。该医学学会表示，对于65岁及以上、患重症风险增加或从未接种过冠状病毒疫苗的人群，这样做“尤为重要”。

• 孕妇：美国产科与妇科医师学会今年春天表示，继续建议孕妇、考虑怀孕的人群以及哺乳期妇女定期接种更新疫苗。

各州的药店是否都能提供疫苗？

大多数美国人通常在零售药店接种冠状病毒疫苗。

美国药剂师协会（American Pharmacists Association）副总裁布里吉德·格罗夫斯（Brigid Groves）表示，药店正积极准备接收更新后的疫苗，以便在收到货件且满足所有州政府要求后立即开始接种。

CVS发言人艾米·蒂博（Amy Thibault）表示，药店和MinuteClinics预计将在几天内开始接收疫苗供应，并将“在法律允许的情况下，向所有州的符合条件的患者提供疫苗”。

她补充道：“疫苗一旦到达，患者将能够查看哪家CVS药店和MinuteClinic网点拥有哪种疫苗，以及预约情况。”

沃格林斯（Walgreens）在的一份声明中表示，更新后的covid-19疫苗将在“未来几天内向符合条件的患者”提供。

目前尚不清楚疫苗将在哪些州提供。不过，公共卫生和药学专家认为，大多数州的获取速度将比去年更快。

一些州将药剂师提供疫苗的权限与联邦免疫建议挂钩。这导致去年出现了一种情况：由于联邦疫苗顾问尚未做出正式建议，导致部分州药店的疫苗供应最初被推迟。

格罗夫斯表示，自去年以来，在“州一级开展了大量工作以维持药店的接种渠道”。这包括修改药店执业法、更新法规、发布常设指令和行政命令等。

但权限在各州之间仍有所不同。

格罗夫斯表示，在“少数管辖区”内，药剂师接种冠状病毒疫苗的能力可能与联邦建议或其他指南挂钩，这意味着部分患者在接种前可能需要处方。

在疫苗接种不与联邦建议挂钩的州，患者通常可以自行证明其患有潜在健康状况。

格罗夫斯表示，在大多数州，没有特定健康状况的年轻人可能需要处方，因为这超出了美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准该疫苗适用的人群范围。

保险是否涵盖疫苗费用？

主要保险公司已广泛承诺，即使在没有新的联邦建议的情况下，也将继续免费覆盖冠状病毒疫苗。

根据凯茨（Kates）的说法，联邦医疗保险（Medicare）必须覆盖冠状病毒疫苗，预计联邦医疗补助（Medicaid）也将覆盖。

格陵兰岛争夺战惊扰冰岛，冰岛现权衡加入欧盟

作者：ELLEN FRANCIS 和 BEATRIZ RÍOS

布鲁塞尔 —— 受总统唐纳德·特朗普在北极地区领土主张的惊扰，冰岛人民将于周六就是否重启加入欧盟的谈判进行投票。

十多年前，在关于渔业限制的多年谈判破裂后，冰岛放弃了加入欧盟的申请。包括物价上涨和安全担忧在内的多个因素，重新激发了冰岛加入这个由 27 个国家组成的集团的兴趣。

然而，今年一个主要的推动因素来自特朗普对夺取格陵兰岛的执念，格陵兰岛是冰岛在北大西洋的邻居。

特朗普在 1 月份坚持认为美国需要夺取格陵兰岛（他称之为“一块冰”），这引发了北约的一场危机。格陵兰岛是北约成员国丹麦的自治领土。

在公开演讲中，特朗普多次误将格陵兰岛称为冰岛。虽然这显然是一个口误，但这种重复仍然让冰岛感到不安，担心他究竟想夺取哪个岛屿。

“自第二次世界大战结束以来我们一直生活在其中的国际体系正在动摇，”冰岛外交部长索格杜尔·卡特琳·古纳斯多蒂尔（Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir）在最近的一份报告中写道，并强调了与欧洲盟友合作的价值。

索格杜尔·卡特琳写道，欧洲与美国之间“削弱”的关系需要“一次新的评估”。她说，关于欧盟谈判的全民公投将给国家提供“关于它想走向何方”以及“它想如何保障其未来利益”的选择。

虽然冰岛这个位于北极圈正南方向、拥有约 400,000 人口的国家不是欧盟成员，但它是北约成员，并且根据一项包括挪威和列支敦士登在内的协议，是欧盟共同经济市场的一部分。

支持重新开启谈判的人表示，在格陵兰岛问题上与美国的裂痕，以及全球对北极航线和资源的紧张局势，应该推动冰岛更深地融入欧盟。

反对者则认为，该集团可能会干涉冰岛的决策，尤其是在该国的关键产业：渔业和农业方面。

冰岛议员、亲欧盟阵营的关键人物达古尔·B·埃格特森（Dagur B. Eggertsson）表示，其目标是在对小国至关重要的联盟关系“日益不确定”的时刻，“加强我们在欧洲中的地位”。

他告诉《华盛顿邮报》，这“增加了冰岛面对‘欧洲问题’的紧迫性”。

这位雷克雅未克（冰岛首都）前市长达古尔表示，支持加入欧盟的论点并不是为了取代北约或冰岛与美国的国防协议，而是为了“增加另一层安全保障”。

“在关税、贸易战和经济胁迫方面，欧盟已经是一个超级大国，”他补充道。“它拥有单一市场的分量，拥有广泛的贸易协定网络，并且在面临经济压力时有能力集体捍卫其成员。”

加入欧盟是一个艰巨的过程，涉及与该集团执行机构长达数年的谈判，并要求通过法律变更，使国家法律和政策与欧盟要求保持一致。

候选国必须被判定在 30 多个领域符合欧盟标准，从海关和农业法规到反腐败措施和司法独立。

各国通常将经济利益视为加入欧盟的诱因，欧盟成立于1993年，旨在促进整个欧洲大陆的自由贸易。欧盟的单一市场旨在实现人员、货物、服务和资本的无缝流动。

如今，在人们对美国军事承诺产生日益严重的怀疑，以及担心俄罗斯在乌克兰战争引发连锁反应的时刻，欧盟还将自己定位为稳定与安全的保证者。尽管承诺加强国防，但欧盟并非军事超级大国，其27个成员国在是否应该扩大规模的问题上正陷入一场旷日持久且充满分歧的争论。

选票将要求选民回答一个“是”或“否”的问题：冰岛是否应该恢复与欧盟的成员资格谈判？

2016年，英国举行了一次类似的全民公投，同样提出了一个二选一的问题：英国应该留在欧盟，还是离开欧盟？

“离开”以微弱优势获胜，结果便是脱欧（Brexit），即英国痛苦地脱离欧盟，这导致了十年的经济衰退和停滞。

支持扩大欧盟规模的人士表示，如果冰岛能取得成功结果，可能会解锁其他国家停滞的申请。如果“反对”阵营获胜，则可能会挫伤围绕扩张构想建立势头的努力。

欧盟负责扩大的专员玛尔塔·科斯（Marta Kos）表示，在全球大国竞争重新升级的时刻，接纳新成员将创造一个“能够保障自身利益的欧洲”。

科斯在本周的一次演讲中表示，在一个“依赖关系被武器化”的世界里，“共同变得更强大是我们最大的资产”。

面对即将到来的美国军队撤离，欧洲领导人们正努力应对，并誓言将掌控自己的国防。科斯在接受《邮报》采访时表示，她将扩大欧盟视为确保长期安全努力的一部分。

她补充道：“冰岛的决定无疑将增强欧盟接纳新成员的理由。”科斯表示，她预计冰岛的成员资格谈判将耗时一到两年，有可能在2028年正式加入。

她表示，几乎所有欧盟的邻国都在寻求成员资格或更紧密的联系，这反映出人们对欧盟的兴趣日益增加。

但包括塞尔维亚、科索沃和北马其顿在内的几个国家的加入努力，由于政治和行政原因而陷入停滞。

从德国到保加利亚，该联盟的许多成员国对接纳其他国家加入该俱乐部表示犹豫，因为担心这会对欧盟的共同预算、外交政策决策及其权力平衡产生影响。

黑山在谈判中处于领先地位，而阿尔巴尼亚则在逐步完成其核查清单。今年夏天，在匈牙利放弃对基辅长期持有的否决权后，乌克兰和摩尔多瓦正式开启了成员资格谈判。

冰岛拥有稳定的经济，其准入门槛比大多数其他候选国更低。除了是共同市场的成员外，它还是欧洲免签旅行区的一部分。

在周六的投票中，公民将仅就恢复谈判进行投票，而非就实际的成员资格投票。最终，一项协议将要求冰岛举行第二次全民公投，并获得所有27个现任欧盟成员国的批准。

总部位于布鲁塞尔的布鲁格尔（Bruegel）研究机构研究员尼娜·武亚诺维奇（Nina Vujanovic）表示：“我认为欧盟需要一个成功的案例，因为自2013年克罗地亚成为最后一个加入的国家以来，欧盟一直没有成功案例。”

武亚诺维奇表示，自俄罗斯2022年入侵乌克兰以来，寻求加入欧盟增加了一个“安全维度”，这标志着一个国家处于欧洲的民主轨道之内，并将其身份认同与欧洲一致。

她表示：“对于像乌克兰这样的国家，进入欧盟及其机构意味着稳定与安全。”考虑到北极地区的威胁，“对于冰岛来说，这同样是一个安全问题。”

特朗普的关税政策以及关于吞并的言论，在加拿大、格陵兰岛以及整个欧洲引发了爱国主义的爆发。这促使冰岛以及英国（唯一退出欧盟的国家）等国家更加向布鲁塞尔靠拢。

欧洲政策研究中心（Centre for European Policy Studies）欧盟扩大计划负责人蒂娜廷·阿赫夫莱迪亚尼（Tinatin Akhvlediani）表示，如果冰岛给出肯定的答复，将有助于“证明欧盟及其成员身份具有极强的吸引力”。

阿赫夫莱迪亚尼补充道，这将凸显出“并非只有那些贫穷、面临安全威胁、规模较大或正处于军事冲突中的候选国”才希望加入，“这些繁荣的经济体、稳定的民主国家……同样希望成为欧盟的一部分。”

刚果埃博拉疫情蔓延至新区域

根据周五公布的最新政府数据，历史上增长最快的埃博拉疫情已蔓延至刚果东部的两个新卫生区，目前共有 60 个区域受到影响。

刚果卫生部的数据显示，受影响的两个新区域是刚果北基伍省的 Biena 和 Manguredjipa。由于响应工作延迟等原因，该地区的病例致死率远高于 48% 的整体致死率。

该部门表示，疫情记录的确诊病例为 5,794 例，其中包括 2,786 例死亡。疫情正以史无前例的速度传播，其速度超过了追踪和减缓疫情的努力。

疫情在极其困难的条件下蔓延，不安全局势、人口流离失所、医护人员罢工以及剧烈的人口流动进一步加剧了疫情。世界卫生组织表示，疫情仍处于失控状态，且有望超过 2014-2016 年西非埃博拉疫情。后者是记录在案的最致命疫情，导致 11,000 多人死亡，主要发生在几内亚、利比里亚和塞拉利昂。

援助组织“无国界医生”周五表示，已在北基伍省的 Beni 开设了一家新的治疗中心，以便在这一被其称为受灾最严重区域之一的地方实现更快速的响应。

根据最新政府数据，虽然绝大多数病例集中在东北部的伊图里省，但北基伍省的埃博拉致死率接近 69%，是该国最高的致死率之一。

“无国界医生”在的一份声明中表示，新中心“能够实现对患者的快速治疗，加强接触者追踪，并支持卫生当局遏制病毒传播的努力”。

四名男子承认纵火袭击罪名

四名男子周五承认，他们在今年早些时候于伦敦北部的一次纵火袭击中摧毁了四辆犹太社区救护车。许多人表示，这次袭击是伊朗战争爆发的直接结果。

伦敦中央刑事法院的鲍比·切马-格鲁布（Bobbie Cheema-Grubb）法官表示，量刑将在 2027 年春季进行，届时将结束另一场涉及另一名被指控参与救护车袭击男子的独立审判。

哈姆扎·伊克巴尔（Hamza Iqbal，20 岁）、雷汉·汗（Rehan Khan，19 岁）、朱德克斯·阿特沙齐（Judex Atshatshi）和赛义夫·阿里（Saif Ali，两人均为 18 岁）面临摧毁或损坏财产以及对生命是否受到威胁持鲁莽态度的指控。

在 3 月 23 日凌晨被纵火焚毁的四辆救护车由 Hatzola 拥有，这是一家在伦敦北部 Golders Green 地区运营的犹太志愿者领导的慈善机构。每辆救护车的成本约为 $340,000。

此次袭击是美国和以色列于 2 月 28 日首次对伊朗发动攻击后的几周内，被认为具有反犹主义色彩的数起事件之一。

据称，三名被告点燃了装满物资的车辆，而第四名被告在车内等待。随之引发的大火导致救护车内的气罐爆炸，附近的公寓和一座犹太会堂也遭到火灾损坏。

哈萨克斯坦 Dadebai 当选议会议长

周五，哈萨克斯坦议员选举执政党领导人、前总统卡斯姆-若马尔特·托卡耶夫（Kassym-Jomart Tokayev）的高级助手艾贝克·达德拜（Aibek Dadebai）为议会议长，与此同时，托卡耶夫进一步巩固了其对该国政治的控制。

达德拜是托卡耶夫的长期盟友，此前曾担任总统办公厅主任和总统幕僚长。今年亲托卡耶夫的 Adilet 党成立时，由达德拜领导。

该党在周日举行的议会选举中赢得了绝大多数选票，并吸收了之前的执政党 Amanat。自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，Amanat 以各种名称主导着哈萨克斯坦政治。

所有代表都投票支持达德拜的候选资格，包括获得席位的四个小型反对党代表，而这些反对党被认为最终仍效忠于托卡耶夫。

一场毁灭性的酒精流行病正蹂躏着她的领地——以及她自己的生活

在马托格罗索州的阿皮多帕鲁村，波和特拉托武在准备甘蔗汁，而特拉托武的侄子盖尔在水箱里玩耍。

盖尔在喝甘蔗汁。从婴儿时期起，他就由特拉托武照顾，她将他视为自己的儿子。 特拉托武、波以及特拉托武的一位侄女正在挤压甘蔗以提取果汁。

已经表现得像一个天生就该领导的人。”

五年前，阿皮多帕鲁前任酋长的女儿特拉托武接任其职，成为巴西首位跨性别原住民领导人，成为了远超其村庄范围的象征和灵感来源。她的母亲说，特拉托武因其对博罗罗文化的深厚了解以及流利的葡萄牙语而受到尊重，这种结合十分罕见。

但这还不够。她说，特拉托武还一直在与酒精作斗争，去年年底，她被自己的母亲撤职。朱雷马·阿杜-戈·奥罗表示她别无选择。奥罗说：“如果她不远离成瘾，她将失去一切。”

现在，特拉托武正努力争取重新获得这份工作。

她生活在两个世界之间。在巴西中部的这个领地之外，她被赞誉为跨性别者能够在传统社区中担任领导职务的证明。而在领地之内，随着成瘾问题蹂躏着她的领地——以及她自己的生活，她正挣扎着试图维持其影响力和权威。

几十年来，巴西一直被评为全球对跨性别者最致命的国家——而且差距相当明显。根据跨装扮者与跨性别者全国协会的数据，2024年这里有122人被杀害，去年为80人。

塔达里马纳是一个面积约37平方英里的领地，位于保守的马托格罗索州境内，这里是巴西迅速增长的福音派人口的大本营。这里居住着636名原住民，分布在10个村庄中，每个村庄都有自己的酋长。

同样名为塔达里马纳的中心村约有200名居民，其酋长由多数票选出。其他村庄则通过主要家庭之间的决定来选择或撤换其领导者。

当特拉托武在阿皮多帕鲁就任时，该村有70人。如今，大约还剩下30人，居住在塔达里马纳河沿岸的六栋茅草屋中。

原住民村庄的领导职位通常由已婚男性担任，权威通常在夫妻之间共享。分析人士表示，选择一名未婚的跨性别女性出人意料，但并非不可想象。

性别和性多样性长期以来在该国的原住民社会中得到认可。原住民部表示，对跨性别者的歧视是“伴随着欧洲的道德和宗教价值观而引入的，特别是那些与天主教相关的价值观，它们强加了更为限制性的观点”。

“马朱尔是博罗罗文化的一个重要代表，这个群体本身就在挑战传统的性别角色，”研究博罗罗人15年的人类学家安德烈·德拉戈说，“但她之所以能这样崛起，是因为她出身于领导者家庭，并且知道如何在村庄内外周旋。”

在博罗罗文化中，一个人的身份与其在社区中的角色挂钩。从童年起，特拉托武就承担与女性相关的任务。在有食材时，她烹饪肉类、米饭和豆类，并照顾她姐姐的孩子。

在葬礼——她社区最重要的仪式——期间，她会吟唱 pranto，这是一个仅限女性担任的角色。她说，这是一种“非常悲伤且非常美丽”的对逝者的回顾，以及他们离世后留下的空虚。

这需要熟练掌握她从父亲赖蒙多·伊托戈加（Raimundo Itogoga）那里学到的语言。赖蒙多是一位极具影响力的文化领袖，他在 2021 年患病后，选择在 15 个孩子中最年幼的一个作为他的继任者。她的母亲说，他在她身上看到了天生的领导力，并且认为她比任何人都更能游走于两个世界和两种语言之间。

在成年早期，特拉托武穿着女性服装，修剪眉毛，并观看那些与她外貌相似的人的视频。她说，当时她还不理解跨性别的概念，但“当我身处男性之中时，我感觉不到真实的自我。那不是我想在的地方。”

2018 年，在她 27 岁时，她开始看心理医生。当被问及志向时，她第一次大声说出她想要一个女性的身体和一个新名字。

有一天，有人称呼她为“马朱尔”（Majur），她立刻感觉到这个名字属于她。“这是一个强有力的名字，一个领导者的名字，我感觉到它在我的内心产生共鸣。”

由于后勤挑战和资金匮乏，直到 2021 年 10 月，也就是她成为酋长三个月后，她才开始激素替代治疗。她在距离村庄 90 分钟车程的龙多诺波利斯（Rondonópolis）的一家私人诊所开始治疗，费用来自她之前担任卫生员时攒下的积蓄。

很快，她的声音变得柔和，胸部生长，少量的体毛变稀或脱落。她很开心，但当钱花光时，她被迫停止用药。酋长的角色没有薪水，而提供该治疗方案最近的公共医疗系统距离此处近 500 英里。

但那时，她已经是马朱尔了。她已经在法律上更改了姓名，并以此身份介绍自己。

特拉托武的母亲阿杜戈·奥罗（Adugo Oro）表示，村里接受她女儿的身份。她说，跨性别者在博罗罗（Bororo）文化中长期以来一直可见；她知道很多年前有一位跨性别女性嫁给了一位文化领袖。

“我妈妈告诉我，我不是族群中第一个跨性别女性，”特拉托武说，“但我可以成为后来者的激励。那些害怕出柜的女孩在我身上找到了勇气。她们会想，如果她能做到，我也能。”

一些原住民跨性别者曾被自己的领地拒绝甚至驱逐。

24 岁的帕塔肖（Pataxó）族成员纳特·库帕拉卡（Nat Kuparaka）说，她因为是跨性别女性而被家人抛弃。“我的父母成了福音派牧师，他们认为我的行为是罪孽，”她说，“那些与原住民传统联系更紧密的人，往往更容易接受不同的性别认同。”

在塔达里马纳原住民领地至少还住着两名跨性别女性。特拉托武说，她在家庭或村庄内部从未遇到过偏见，只在外部遇到过。“在城市里，人们愤怒地看着我。这是一种双重偏见，因为我是原住民，[见 A13 页酋长报道]

以及因为我是跨性别者。”

她的童年好友博（Boe）也讲述了类似的经历。她在 10 年前离开这里去攻读人类学博士学位。

“我不希望我们被这种充满偏见、边缘化和死亡的负面视角所看待，”博说。“我希望人们能看到真实的我们。我是一名博士生，马朱尔是一位领导者。而通过成为一名领导者，她挑战了一个宁愿我们不存在的体制。”

作为酋长，特拉托武调解冲突，在疫情期间及之后确保了粮食援助，并帮助村庄建立了供水系统。

她曾前往巴西各地以及法国，以推广博罗罗（Bororo）文化和跨性别原住民领导力。

她说，她享受聚光灯，但该职位的持续压力和激素治疗让她感到压力沉重。

她原以为酒精能提供解决方案。“我大约在五年前开始喝酒，”她说，那时正是她成为酋长的时候。“那是一段艰难的时光，所以我喝得很凶。”

研究原住民文化的心理学家格尼·努涅斯（Geni Nuñez）认为，原住民社区中的酗酒现象是长期压力的一种症状，尤其是在那些承受压力且像塔达里马纳一样靠近城市中心的领地。

“在马朱尔的案例中，负担可能更重，”努涅斯说。“领导者总是受到审视，但当一个人来自边缘化地位，作为例外存在时，要求会更高。”

德拉戈（Drago）表示，在博罗罗人中，酒精有着一段暴力的历史。19世纪，白人军队将其作为一种“抚慰”工具引入，随后它成为了更广泛的剥夺策略的一部分。“非原住民势力试图减少博罗罗人口并夺取他们的土地，而酒精在这一过程中被用作工具。”

亲友们表示，在过去的一年里，特拉托武变得越来越情绪化，经常大吼大叫，在家里和街头打架，令一个依赖她引导的社区感到不安。

“每个人都尊重马朱尔，”住在中心村的鲁斯·阿拉努（Ruth Aranu）说。“她在我们的哀悼仪式中表现得非常出色，能说我们的语言，对我们很好。但酗酒影响了这一切。”

去年年底，阿杜戈·奥罗（Adugo Oro）做出了她描述为痛苦的决定。她说，她的女儿吸引了太多的关注。人们感到嫉妒，甚至可能对她使用了黑魔法。“她不再是原来的她了。我从未见过她那样，”她说。“我心碎了，但没有其他办法。”

她召见了当时中心村的酋长、也是特拉托武教父的西塞罗·库多罗帕（Cícero Kudoropa），告诉他特拉托武将不再领导阿皮多·帕鲁（Apido Paru）。她说，由于她的丈夫卧床不起，所有事务都将由她处理。库多罗帕表示同意。

但特拉托武不同意。母女之间发生了冲突。特拉托武说，在2月份的一次激烈争吵后，她的母亲告诉她，最好离开村子一段时间。

“我觉得脚下的地面消失了，”她说。“那是我从未感受过的痛苦。没有什么能填补那种悲伤和焦虑。我不再是谁了。”

她说，她恳求最后一次机会。她承诺停止饮酒，并再次在家里帮助母亲和家人。她的母亲同意了。“我喜欢马朱尔在这里帮我，扫地、做饭、给我们送食物并帮着照顾孩子，”阿杜戈·奥罗说。

特拉托武说，她现在正努力再次戒酒。她说，在复饮之前，她已经戒酒好几个月了。

在特拉托武与母亲争吵的20天后，库多罗帕在中心村阴雨连绵的天空下召集了一次全体大会，旨在解决包括博罗罗社区日益严重的饮酒问题在内的各项挑战。他站在一个混凝土大厅里，手里拿着麦克风，警告说，进入该领地的酒精数量正变得更加频繁。

“这个问题已经存在15年了，但情况正在恶化，”他说。“我们社区的人现在在城市里购买酒精，然后在这里以三四倍的价格转卖。”

他说他认识那些卖家，并且之前已经警告过他们。他说，他不愿惩罚自己的同胞，但这是最后的通知。

“如果他们继续在这里贩卖酒精，我们将通知联邦警察和 Funai（原住民事务联邦机构），并将他们驱逐出我们的土地。”

他的任期于今年春季结束，且没有计划再次参选。他说，担任酋长带来的问题太多了。他说，他也曾与酒精作斗争。他说，去年他差点在一次车祸中丧生，从那时起他就一直保持清醒。现在他想照顾自己的家人。

“要求太多了，我们一直处于焦虑之中，几乎没法睡觉，”他说。

特拉托武希望很快能竞选这个职位。她想要发起一场运动，提高原住民社区中跨性别者的可见度，并寻求合作伙伴关系，从而为村里的年轻人提供更多机会，减少他们与酒精共处的闲暇时间。

“我准备了很长时间，我相信我已经准备好尝试承担如此重要的角色了，”她说。

库多罗帕认为她还需要一点时间。“我了解那种痛苦，”他说。“马朱尔是个好人，她的前途还很长。如果她能戒酒，有一天她可以领导整个领地。”

马朱尔似乎意识到了未来的挑战。“酒精将人们推离了我，”她说。“我想告别过去的生活，从错误中汲取教训，重新投入工作。”

她的母亲望着漆黑的夜晚，握住马朱尔的手。她们出发前往阿皮多帕鲁（Apido Paru）。

总统关于委内瑞拉石油的协议引发争议，可能耗资数十亿美元

接 A1 版委内瑞拉报道

不会让美国纳税人承担任何成本。但《华盛顿邮报》审阅的协议要点以及对协议达成期间接近谈判人员的采访表明，为了使该计划能够产出政府预期的石油数量，美国政府最终可能需要投入巨额资金。

在协议公布前与《华盛顿邮报》分享的一份名单中，列出了美国将参股的 17 个油田。其中几个油田缺乏任何基础设施，也无法连接到用于处理和运输原油的运输枢纽。而那些拥有此类基础设施的油田，则在多年的忽视和机械盗窃中沦为废墟。

从这些油田抽油可能需要数十亿美元的投资，以及昂贵的安保计划，以保护法外之地和暴力地区中的石油工人及生产设施。《华盛顿邮报》审阅的协议要点显示，美国政府在新成立的石油公司中的股份将分为股权所有权，以及保证以成本价购买该公司生产的石油以补充美国战略石油储备。

但目前尚不清楚在从这些基本处于休眠状态的油田抽油之前，谁将承担所需的数百亿美元基础设施投资。大多数大型石油公司认为此类支出风险过高。

国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）在 X 上发帖称，该协议将为委内瑞拉带来“近 1000 亿美元的私人投资”，但未具体说明哪些公司承诺了此类支出。

据一名熟悉讨论的人士透露，该协议中委内瑞拉方的关键合作伙伴是北美蓝色能源伙伴公司（North American Blue Energy Partners，简称 NABEP），该公司是委内瑞拉第二大私人石油生产商。

据该熟悉人士及另一位了解谈判情况的人士称，五角大楼将通过其战略资本办公室（OSC）监督并协助资助油田许可。该办公室的使命是“加速并扩大在关键供应链技术领域的私人投资”。

五角大楼官员表示，他们无法就 OSC 正在权衡的任何具体交易发表评论，但他们强调，该办公室不能持有私人公司的任何所有权股份。

五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔（Sean Parnell）在一份声明中表示：“OSC 的角色严格限于以贷款、贷款担保或技术援助（包括为开发和融资投资而进行的交易结构设计）的形式提供资本援助。”

彭博新闻社率先报道了 NABEP 和五角大楼参与一项潜在委内瑞拉交易的情况。

《华盛顿邮报》本周报道称，NABEP 由委内瑞拉商人亚历杭德罗·贝坦库尔（Alejandro Betancourt）控制，他是该国石油部门的重要人物，已成为美国与委内瑞拉之间的关键中间人，并协助促成了早期合同以快速恢复该国的石油抽采。

在短短两年内，贝坦库尔将 NABEP 的石油产量从 18,000 桶 / 日提高到近 200,000 桶 / 日。在过去十年中，他还曾在瑞士、西班牙和美国面临多项关于涉嫌洗钱的调查。

《华盛顿邮报》援引两名因讨论敏感问题而要求匿名的知情人士报道称，美国官员今年一直在游说，试图以一种能够避免刑事指控并取消对常驻英国的贝坦库尔旅行限制的方式解决瑞士的案件。

知情人士表示，美国也尚未执行瑞士对他发出的逮捕令。相反，其他熟悉其行程的人士称，美国允许贝坦库尔多次入境与特朗普政府举行会议。贝坦库尔尚未被起诉，其律师否认他参与了洗钱活动。

执行该协议仍面临重大障碍。

委内瑞拉国内对于将自然资源控制权交给美国存在强烈反对。在美国获得任何油田控制权之前，可能需要对委内瑞拉宪法进行修订，而在美国敌意深重的情况下，这种情况发生的可能性尚不确定。

“一个拥有非法碳氢化合物法的非法委内瑞拉临时政府，没有合法资格达成这项违宪协议，”曾在 1990 年代初担任委内瑞拉规划部部长的哈佛大学经济学家里卡多·豪斯曼（Ricardo Hausmann）在 X 平台的一篇帖子中写道。“对于所有参与者来说，这将是一场灾难，首先就是 @SecRubio。”

据知情人士透露，在与美国达成协议后，委内瑞拉目前正在考虑退出石油输出国组织（OPEC）这一能源生产国联盟。由于特朗普政府寻求对国际石油贸易施加更多影响，因此将欢迎此举。委内瑞拉是 OPEC 的创始成员国。

“我怀疑退出 OPEC 与美国对该国的控制有关，而非报道中所称的美国投资协议，”一名要求匿名以坦率表达观点的石油工业官员表示。“如果美国正在构建一个西半球能源集团，那么委内瑞拉留在 OPEC 就没有意义。”

特朗普在任命罗德里格斯为“临时”总统的同时，承诺该国最终将回归民主选举治理。一名长期参与石油工业且同样要求匿名以提供坦率评估的委内瑞拉人士表示：“从委内瑞拉的法律角度来看，德尔西没有合法地位。”

该人士表示，这将导致通常参与钻探融资的银行和其他机构产生疑问：“我们为什么要与完全没有合法地位的人签署协议？”

罗德里格斯在一份声明中表示，该协议“将对我们国家的复兴产生重大影响”。

据知情人士透露，根据该协议的结构，石油可以通过委内瑞拉现有的合资法律结构进行生产，美国将通过该结构获得开发油田的权限，但委内瑞拉仍将被保证获得所有产出收入的分成。

该协议不仅在委内瑞拉，在美国也可能面临激烈抵制。

开发油田所需的任何美国政府支出或贷款可能都需要国会批准，而特朗普的共和党盟友在即将到来的中期选举中面临失去立法部门控制权的风险。

自从美国推翻前委内瑞拉独裁者尼古拉斯·马杜罗以来，民主党人一直对该政府在委内瑞拉的尝试持坚定批评态度，包括其与该国自然资源产业之间不透明的交易。

尽管特朗普政府声称马杜罗的被免职将引发委内瑞拉的钻探热潮，但当地的石油产量增加甚微，过去一年仅增加了约 200,000 桶，预计明年的增幅将持平或更低。

国际能源咨询公司 Goldwyn Global Strategies 的负责人大卫·戈德温（David Goldwyn）表示，目前尚不清楚“是否有人愿意”在一个电力受限且港口基础设施无法处理增加产量的国家开展运营，此外还有其他限制因素“正阻碍着各大石油公司目前进入该国”。

即便该协议使美国能够取代委内瑞拉政府对油田的所有管辖权，但戈德温表示，这些地区仍将面临此前限制新投资的“相同风险”，导致目前仅有规模较小且风险承受能力较高的公司参与投资。

特朗普政府此前还宣布了其他重大协议，旨在让美国在能源或自然资源生产中占据大量份额，但最终几乎没有一项得以实现。其中包括美国计划入股乌克兰的关键矿产储备，以及近一年前宣布美国将资助大型核反应堆的建设，以换取西屋电气公司（Westinghouse corporation）的股份。

这两项协议均未产生该政府在宣布时所预测的能源生产突破性进展。

特朗普曾承诺一场短暂的伊朗战争。六个月后，他几乎没有好的选择。

伊朗报道（接A1版）

削弱了美国在中东的信誉和能力，而且在其他战区的其他对手面前也是如此。”

特朗普周四吹嘘股市的飙升，并表示德黑兰正遭受美国海军封锁和收紧的制裁行动之苦，这两者都给其经济带来了压力。

他淡化了战争对通过该海峡的石油流量的影响，在2月28日之前，该海峡承载了全球供应的五分之一以上。

“伊朗现在，他们没有给部队发工资。他们陷入了深重的麻烦，”特朗普在椭圆形办公室签署一项指令时告诉记者，该指令要求美国政府机构将安大略湖（Lake Ontario）的名称改为美国湖（Lake America）。

“他们的能力非常有限。昨晚，我们有24艘船通过海峡。我们一直让他们通过，”他说。“这并不意味着我们结束了军事行动，但我们已经，海峡是开放的。”

在战争之前，平均每天有100多艘船穿越霍尔木兹海峡。根据大宗商品和航运追踪机构 Kpler 的数据，本周有一天仅有5艘船通过。美国官员表示，实际数字更高，因为一些船只为了避免被伊朗攻击而关闭了应答器，但石油供应依然紧张，价格一直远高于战前水平。

总统及其盟友表示，他们给伊朗军队及其制造核武器的能力带来了历史性的打击。他们指出了最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊（Ali Khamenei）被击毙，以及战争第一阶段的激烈战斗摧毁了伊朗大部分武装力量。

但在特朗普声称为了防止伊朗制造核武器和压迫其人民而发起的战争半年后，该国的强硬政权似乎依然根深蒂固，并且仍能对美国基地及其盟友发动攻击。

这些盟友和敌人同样在应对五角大楼军火库的严重枯竭。随着中期选举临近，一些在2024年竞选期间支持特朗普承诺远离中东战争的选民，正在质疑他们还需要在加油站支付高价多久。

随着汽油和其他商品价格维持高位，民众对特朗普处理战争方式的认可度一直在下降。本周发布的一项路透社 / 益普索（）民调显示，特朗普的认可度为33%。民调人员发现，共和党人对战争的支持率一直在下降，尽管其党内对该行动的认可度仍然

特朗普对投资者对其伊朗行动的反应尤为敏感。6月，就在他与德黑兰签署一项随后破裂的临时和平协议之后，他说“每次我们谈到和平的可能性，股市就像火箭一样飙升”。

“我不想看到经济灾难，”他在解释签署该协议的决定时说道。

这些经济顾虑似乎限制了政府在经济上向德黑兰施压的意愿。财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）本周宣布对伊朗发起“经济诺曼底登陆日”（economic D-Day），告诉各国，如果继续在伊朗开展业务，将面临美国制裁的愤怒。

与此同时，他通过表示不会立即实施制裁，减轻了威胁的杀伤力，因为“我为什么要摧毁全球金融体系？”

理查德·内夫（Richard Nephew）表示，伊朗人可能注意到了这一点。内夫在2015年伊朗核协议之前，曾在奥巴马政府期间参与设计制裁机制。

“这显然向伊朗人发出了一个信号，即我们准备采取行动的程度是有极限的，”内夫表示。

他认为，经济压力仍然是一个重要的工具——但这场战争可能正在揭示经济压力和军事压力的共同局限性。

“让我担心的是，除了经济压力，我们现在是否也意识到了军事胁迫能起作用的极限，而伊朗的反应实际上将是‘我们能应对这一切’。在这种情况下，我们失去的将不仅仅是对经济的杠杆作用，而是全面失去了杠杆，”内夫说道。

这场战争的影响远超中东地区。最新的美国情报显示，克里姆林宫认为美国因伊朗战争而变得衰弱。据两名知情人士透露，评估报告称，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京可能会将此视为一个机会，升级针对美国在欧洲的利益及其盟友的行动。

这些情报评估早于中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·拉特克利夫周二的莫斯科之行。据其中一名知情人士透露，拉特克利夫在访问中警告其俄罗斯同行不要升级针对乌克兰的行动，并表示此类举动将产生反作用。由于该话题的敏感性，知情人士要求匿名。中央情报局未对对话内容发表评论，特朗普周四表示，普京“不会攻击北约领土”。

《华盛顿邮报》此前曾报道，美国损失了大约四分之一的“死神”无人机，每架的成本在 3000万美元 到 5000万美元 之间。这些无人机用于监视和目标定位。用于保护以色列、乌克兰以及全球美国基地的先进“爱国者”反导防御系统的库存也严重枯竭。

这些短缺导致一些其他国家在向乌克兰和阿拉伯盟友提供援助时变得更加谨慎，因为他们认为有必要保留更多的军械用于自身防御，以防美国在未来无法为他们提供帮助。例如，乌克兰曾向希腊寻求“爱国者”导弹电池，但雅典最近予以拒绝，并在面对伊朗的威胁后，将一套系统重新部署到了靠近美国基地的克里特岛。

在美国长期维持强大存在力的波斯湾地区，五角大楼正在评估是否撤回部分美军，而不是重建所有受损的基地。

曾在拜登政府担任国家安全委员会伊朗事务主任，并任职至特朗普政府前六个月的内特·斯旺森表示，华盛顿的盟友们“将会采取对冲策略”。

斯旺森说，在过去六个月里，美国在这些国家领土上的存在“对这些国家产生了负面影响”。

“这成了他们被攻击的理由，而我们能为此做出的防御措施并不多，”他说。“我们不会再像以前那样，成为中东地区唯一的主导力量。”

对进一步洪水的担忧阻碍了救援工作

作者：AOIFE WALSH, JOSHUA YANG 以及 N. KIRKPATRICK

周五，由于担心进一步的洪水，救援工作变得复杂。在尼泊尔与中国交界的喜马拉雅边境地区遭受毁灭性山洪袭击后，当局仍在搜寻数百名失踪人员。

尼泊尔国家灾害管理机构表示，尼泊尔仍有近 1,000 人失踪，其中包括 67 名美国人。据新华社报道，中国有 550 多人失踪。

尼泊尔警方周五表示，尼泊尔的死亡人数已至少达到 540 人。新华社报道称，西藏有 5 人死亡。

尼泊尔当局周五警告称，博特科西河（Bhotekoshi River）同一区域可能再次发生洪水，敦促救援队伍保持警惕，并准备转移到安全区域。尼泊尔警方报告称，边境西藏一侧的一座水坝溃决，但未指明具体位置。

中国官方媒体表示，西藏官员警告称，引发周三山洪的滑坡形成了一个堰塞湖，这对救援工作构成了威胁，且可能发生溃决。

据官方的新华社报道，工程和救援专家正利用无人机和望远镜监测该堰塞湖。

据官员称，许多被困在山洪中的游客当时正在参加冈仁波齐湖（Kailash Manasarovar）之旅，这是一次前往西藏冈仁波齐山的宗教朝圣。

在搜寻工作继续进行的同时，引导朝圣者沿途行走的组织——伊莎基金会（Isha Foundation）正在等待一个 80 人失踪旅游团的消息。

该团包括 22 名美国人和 3 名尼泊尔志愿者，在洪水袭击时，他们已抵达西藏日隆的边境口岸设施。

“我们仍抱有希望，但我们也看到了现场发生的情况，”伊莎基金会北美社区联络员莱斯利·克雷斯皮（Leslie Crespi）表示。

她表示，该基金会组织前往冈仁波齐山的徒步旅行已有 21 年。“家属们非常震惊。这很难被接受，甚至很难想象所造成的破坏程度。”

地球科学家表示，初步评估显示，洪水可能是由冰川崩塌引起的滑坡触发的。最初的震动被误认为是一次 4.4 级地震，但美国地质调查局随后得出结论，该滑坡是由“冰川崩塌和碎屑流”引起的，并将震级上调至 5.2 级。

据官方媒体报道，中国自然资源部表示，此次灾难是在边境尼泊尔一侧触发的。该部表示，冰块和岩石从山坡落下，在进入日隆藏波河之前，沿途卷起了松散的冰川碎屑。

这次地震事件释放了由水、岩石、泥浆和冰组成的洪流，席卷了边境地区，吞噬了房屋，阻塞了道路并破坏了基础设施。

尼泊尔旅游局周五表示，已有 121 名外国国民获救，其中包括两名美国人，另有 662 名游客仍下落不明。

联合国周四援引尼泊尔官员的话称，有 30,000 多名安保人员参与了救援行动。该机构表示，由于破坏规模巨大，进入该地区的通道变得复杂。

联合国补充说，约 40 公里（25 英里）的道路受损，约 10,000 户家庭需要紧急援助。

中国领导人习近平

美国地质调查局记录到，在洪水开始前不久发生了一次 5.2 级山体滑坡。

据官方媒体报道，Friday 主持了一次关于中国应对措施的紧急会议，会上官员强调救援计划“应以科学的方式制定”。

报道补充称，中国将向尼泊尔提供紧急援助，并与国际救援行动开展合作。

尼泊尔的情况显示，进入 9 月初后气候比往常更潮湿，季风降雨正影响该国。不稳定的天气可能会给恢复工作带来挑战，并带来新的洪水风险。

美国驻尼泊尔大使馆周四援引该国水文气象局的消息称，持续的降雨可能会引发局部洪水、山体滑坡及进一步的破坏。

迎接挪威新王哈康八世

王储在父亲哈拉尔五世国王去世后继位

作者：VIOLET JIRA

随着挪威的哈拉尔五世于周五去世，该国的王储哈康八世已登基。

53岁的哈康此前为法定继承人。他周五表示，他将沿用其父亲、祖父及曾祖父的皇家格言：“一切为了挪威”。

哈康周五在奥斯陆与内阁部长们举行了首次会议，这是一项形式上的程序。

哈康在王室面临动荡的时期继承王位，此前该家庭因其妻子与已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的关系而受到审查。现任挪威王后的梅特-玛丽特（Mette-Marit）在三月的一次采访中将其描述为与爱泼斯坦之间的一种“友好关系”，而这种关系的程度在爱泼斯坦文件公布后变得清晰。作为美国司法部（DOJ）调查的一部分而公布的文件显示，梅特-玛丽特与这位名声扫地的金融家之间有100多条信息往来。

她在三月接受挪威公共广播公司采访时表示：“对我来说，为没有更仔细地核查他的背景而承担责任至关重要。并且为我当时被如此操纵和欺骗而承担责任。”

在嫁入王室之前，梅特-玛丽特是一名平民。她与哈康的婚姻曾引发争议，因为他们在相识时她是一名未婚母亲。

同样在今年，她的儿子马里乌斯·博格·赫伊比（Marius Borg Høiby）被判处四年监禁，他被裁定两项强奸罪名成立，此外还面临家庭暴力、毒品指控及其他罪名。

这些丑闻震惊了王室，使哈康处于必须恢复挪威民众与他家庭之间信任，并巩固家庭公众形象的境地。

尽管他刚接任这一角色，但他也具备一定的经验。随着其父亲健康状况恶化，哈康曾多次代行职责。

哈康有一个兄弟姐妹，即玛莎·路易丝公主（Princess Märtha Louise）。他曾在挪威皇家海军服役，并在美国加州大学伯克利分校留学三年。他有两个孩子，其中一人——英格丽德·亚历山德拉公主（Princess Ingrid Alexandra）——现在是王位的法定继承人。她将成为挪威几个世纪以来的首位女王。

作为世界上仅存的几十个君主制国家之一，挪威的王位主要具有象征意义——该国是一个君主立宪制国家。由于没有实际的政治权力，君主制承担的是形式上的职责，例如主持议会开幕和签署法律，此外还在国内外担任名义上的代表。

大众汽车首席执行官警告将进行大规模裁员

在全球市场转型的背景下，这家汽车制造商可能会削减数万个工作岗位

作者：MAEGAN VAZQUEZ

柏林——大众汽车首席执行官本周预告了这家德国汽车制造商将进行大规模裁员，这标志着支撑全球第三大经济体的汽车工业正面临更广泛的问题。

周二，大众汽车集团首席执行官奥利弗·布鲁默（Oliver Blume）在德国沃尔夫斯堡的公司总部向员工发表讲话时警告称，为了保持竞争力，可能需要削减数万个工作岗位。

大众汽车集团旗下拥有包括宾利和奥迪在内的多个汽车品牌，目前面临着越来越大的压力，必须调整其商业模式以解决设施产能过剩以及德国境内能源和劳动力成本高昂的问题。但大众汽车及其他德国汽车公司正面临一系列挑战，包括来自中国的竞争加剧、中东战争、欧盟内部日益增加的监管负担以及美国征收的关税。

德国汽车管理中心（Center of Automotive Management）创始人兼主任斯特凡·布拉策尔（Stefan Bratzel）表示，随着汽车工业向电动化、人工智能和自动驾驶转型，全球汽车行业正处于一个“关键的转型期”。

布拉策尔表示：“对于那些习惯于掌控局面的老牌企业来说，这尤其是一项挑战。”他补充说，如果大众汽车出现问题，将产生连锁反应，影响到“整个行业的供应商”。

汽车工业是德国经济的关键驱动力，也是最大的就业部门之一。但根据该国统计局的数据，汽车行业的就业岗位一直在大幅下降，今年已跌至 2005 年以来的最低水平。

大众汽车计划的裁员将代表另一次剧烈的缩减。多年来，该公司因人员编制过大而受到审查。包括其在中国的合资企业在内，大众汽车集团在 2025 年雇佣了约 667,000 人，其中约 286,000 人在德国。

大众汽车拟议的裁员规模将与全球汽车制造商历史上最大的一些裁员行动相匹敌。

此次会议在沃尔夫斯堡举行，大众汽车在该地雇佣了约 70,000 人。此前，公司执行董事会于今年初夏公布了一项大规模重组计划。这项针对 2030 年的计划可能会大幅削减大众汽车的车型阵容，导致德国四家工厂关闭，并削减数万个工作岗位。

尽管裁员规模尚未最终确定，但布鲁默在对沃尔夫斯堡员工的讲话中提到了削减 50,000 个岗位。但劳方代表担心，实际数字可能会大得多，甚至可能超过 100,000 个。

根据公司提供的摘录，布鲁默告诉员工，约一半的裁员将在德国进行。但布鲁默表示，公司将尽量减少对现有员工的影响，将“尽可能多地”依赖其他减员手段，例如限制招聘和提供分阶段的提前退休计划。

大众汽车企业委员会（Volkswagen Works Council）主席丹妮拉·卡瓦洛（Daniela Cavallo）在声明中表示，该委员会旨在管理层讨论中推进员工利益。她对终于能听到“来自首席执行官的直接信息”表示欢迎。但她表示，员工仍在等待了解这些裁员“具体对各品牌和公司，以及对主工厂意味着什么”。

由于大众汽车独特的所有权和监事会结构，德国劳方代表和德国下萨克森州在重大决策中拥有发言权。劳方代表已公开反对执行董事会的计划，而下萨克森州政府持有具有影响力的 20% 投票权。

华盛顿邮报

一份独立报纸

KETLAIN DIFFICILE / AP 周四，被美国驱逐出境的海地人在海地的海地角下飞机。

社论

联合国部队本应确保海地安全。一年后，帮派统治一切。

上周末海地发生的 47 人大屠杀是一个血腥的提醒，揭示了这个加勒比海岛国依然如此暴力且无法无天——以及在获得批准一年后，一项由联合国支持的旨在恢复稳定的国际任务正陷入怎样的苦战。而这正是那些生活在美国的海地人被强制遣返回去的现状。

上周日的杀戮发生在肯斯科夫（Kenscoff），这是一个曾经平静的小镇，位于饱受暴力蹂躏的首都太子港上方的山丘上。肯斯科夫毗邻佩蒂翁维尔（Pétion-Ville），后者是一个相对富裕的郊区，这里分布着高端酒店、陷入困境的政府以及外交使团的残余势力。大约 22 名无辜平民在一家教堂内被屠杀。当局表示，房屋被焚毁，女性遭到强奸。约 50 人被劫持为人质。

海地帮派传递出的信号是：无论谁，无论在何处，都无法逃脱他们的掌控。

去年 9 月，联合国安理会批准了一项由美国发起的计划，派遣一支由 5,550 人组成的帮派镇压部队以恢复秩序并支撑该国初创的政府。这些维和人员本应取代那支无能的肯尼亚领导的警察部队，后者从一开始就面临人员和武器不足的困境，且在执行交战规则时举步维艰，因为规则要求他们主要为火力不足的当地警察提供支援。

这个由联合国支持的实体拥有更强有力的授权，旨在主动出击打击帮派并解除其武装。但该部队一直资金不足，截至上个月人数仅约 1,000 人。

由总理阿里克斯·迪迪埃·菲尔斯-艾梅（Alix Didier Fils-Aimé）领导的海地政府在首都中心地带对抗帮派取得了一些有限的战术进展。这主要归功于由埃里克·普林斯（Erik Prince）领导的私营安保公司 Vectus Global 实施的无人机袭击。

但犯罪帮派仍然控制着太子港约 70% 的地区，并将其势力扩展到农村。帮派袭击了阿蒂博尼特（Artibonite）这一粮仓地区以及塞金（Séguin）周边南部地区的农田，并杀害了农民。根据联合国的数据，4 月至 6 月期间有 1,400 多人被杀，全海地有 150 万人流离失所。

正是在这样的漩涡之中，美国将那些被剥夺了临时保护状态（即 TPS）的海地移民遣返回国。特朗普政府坚称，该岛足够安全，可以接收美国想要驱逐的约 350,000 名海地人。这些人此前在 TPS 框架下合法地在美国生活和工作，其中许多人在医疗保健和家庭护理领域工作。

由于有报道称飞机遭到枪击，从美国飞往海地的商业航班已被封锁。但特朗普政府正通过遣返航班将海地人送回该岛。最新的一架飞机于周四抵达，载有约 70 人，其中包括儿童。

乔·拜登总统应对其迅速过度扩张 TPS 计划负一部分责任，该计划的受益人数从约 400,000 人增加到了来自 17 个国家的约 130 万人。拜登实际上创建了一个后门移民系统，而这在政治上注定是不可持续的。正如其名称所示，TPS 计划本应是“临时”的。

唐纳德·特朗普总统和联合国大使迈克·沃尔茨（Mike Waltz）以及共同发起国巴拿马，因推动帮派镇压部队通过安理会而值得肯定。去年秋天，沃尔茨表示，在多年来辜负这个岛国之后，“国际社会正在分担负担，并履行其帮助海地扭转局面的承诺。”遗憾的是，局面并未扭转，海地正在溺水。

联合国部队缺乏成功所需的资金和人员。如果能获得美国资金和设备的保证，可能会有更多国家被说服参与安全部队。如果能获得持续的高层关注，海地或许能从深渊中被拉回来。那样一来，将 350,000 名 TPS 受益者送回家才在道德上站得住脚。

如何让全球饥饿人数持续下降

8月24日的社论《全球饥饿人数下降是增长的果实》正确地赞扬了全球饥饿现象的减轻。尽管这一进展令人鼓舞，但在解决粮食不安全问题方面仍有许多工作要做。

联合国粮食及农业组织发布的《2026年世界粮食安全和营养状况》报告显示，儿童和孕产妇的营养指标改善速度极其缓慢，育龄妇女的贫血率正在上升，且6至23个月大且饮食多样性达到最低标准的儿童不足三分之一。尽管用于购买食物的收入相对于食品价格有所增加，但家庭购买优质营养食品的能力则是另一回事。投资必须针对可负担性，尤其是水果和蔬菜。消费者为健康饮食支付的费用中，有70%至75%发生在“农场门”之后——所谓“农场门”是指在增加运输、加工或零售成本之前，直接支付给农民的产品净价。为了解决这个问题，应在整个价值链上持续提供资金。为了大幅减少目前数量为21 亿美元的中度或重度粮食不安全人口，对基础设施的投资以及将财政支持从大宗谷物转向高成本营养食品至关重要。埃里克·米切尔，华盛顿

将计分簿带回球场

关于威尔·莱奇（Will Leitch）8月22日的专栏文章《球场上回归的旧式传统》：

我也曾是一个在棒球比赛中强迫性地记录分数的计分员。对我而言，在观看比赛时逐球记录分数就像呼吸一样自然。

不过，我的热情在于小联盟棒球。我经常去看华盛顿特区、马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州（DMV）地区球队的比赛，而且多年来我也参观了80多个球场。我的计分簿一直是我的忠实伴侣，当我独自观看比赛时，它也是一个极佳的聊天开场白。

我的纪念品不仅包括比赛的文字细节，还包括票根（还记得那些吗？），我把它们贴在计分簿的背面，此外还有那些从未进入大联盟的球员的签名，比如波克·乔普·波（Pork Chop Pough）和巴巴·史密斯（Bubba Smith），以及过去吃热狗留下的芥末渍。

这些笔记本是终极的纪念品。当我不时回顾时，关于比赛以及那些在九局比赛中成为朋友的陌生人的记忆便会涌现。

没有任何一件T恤、棒球帽甚至照片，能像这些破旧的笔记本那样捕捉到那种体验。

五角大楼在与 Anthropic 的这场毫无必要的战争中败北

匆忙行事，事后忏悔。国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）应当留意。

一名联邦法官周四驳回了特朗普政府将 Anthropic 列入黑名单的广泛尝试，裁定五角大楼非法报复这家人工智能公司，且在将其标记为国家安全风险时逾越了其职权。

五角大楼对 感到沮丧是有充分理由的。其错误在于使用了“法律巴祖卡”（过度反应），将一场关于软件使用条款的正当争议，演变成了一场规模庞大的运动，从而让该公司在持续的法律战争中取得了早期胜利。

这场冲突在 1 月份抓捕委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗（Nicolás Maduro）的行动后不久升级。一名 的高管联系了国防承包商 Palantir 的同行，询问 的 Claude 模型是否被用于此次行动。五角大楼官员将此次询问解读为 可能反对该模型用于动力作战（kinetic operations），而该公司对此解读予以否认。

这一事件升级了已经积压数月的紧张局势。 去年签署了一份政府合同，其中包含限制其模型被用于全自动武器和大规模国内监控的条款。几个月后，特朗普政府开始谈判以放宽这些限制，坚持认为五角大楼必须拥有将这些工具用于所有合法目的的权力。政府辩称，一家私营公司不能对民主选举产生的官员所做的决定拥有否决权。而 则拒绝让步。

GARY C. KLEIN / USA TODAY NETWORK VIA REUTERS CONNECT 国防部长皮特·海格塞斯周一在威斯康星州奥什科什。

该公司对委内瑞拉行动可能较为随意的询问激怒了政府。唐纳德·特朗普总统命令联邦机构停止使用 的技术，海格塞斯则援引了两项旨在打击其业务的供应链法律。

美国地方法院法官丽塔·F·林（Rita F. Lin）拒绝了这一策略。她认为，海格塞斯援引一项旨在保护政府系统免受可能破坏或颠覆系统的“对手”影响的法律，是专断且反复无常的。她封锁了特朗普政府范围内的禁令，以及海格塞斯试图阻止其他军事承包商与 进行无关业务往来的尝试。

但林的裁决并未解决问题。政府可能会对该决定提出上诉。另一起基于不同法律的案件仍在美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院审理中。该法院在案件审理期间允许五角大楼继续将 排除在外，称所涉及的问题“新颖且困难”。

联合国粮食及农业组织 7 月份的一份报告发现，全球饥饿人数连续第三年下降，这确实带来了好消息。但我不同意 8 月 24 日社论《世界饥饿下降是增长的果实》中的单一结论，即维持进步的最佳方式“是创造经济自由及其带来的增长条件”。

该报告的最后一章警告称，诸如厄尔尼诺引发的干旱和霍尔木兹海峡关闭等冲击会导致化肥和食品价格飙升，从而迅速逆转已取得的进展。根据我管理美国国际开发署（USAID）长期粮食安全局及其紧急粮食援助项目的经验，我知道慢性饥饿和急性饥饿需要不同的应对工具，但两者都需要政府的参与。

该报告开出的药方并非放任自流：政府对农业生产力和农村基础设施的投资、有针对性的社会保障以及与私营部门的协调行动，对于打击全球饥饿至关重要。特朗普政府拆解 USAID，以及拒绝全额支出由国会拨给粮食安全资金的事实，并非本故事的次要问题。美国政府正在阻碍该报告所称的进展所依赖的关键因素。

70 年前，我随父亲在费城的希比公园（Shibe Park）观看了我的第一场职业棒球赛，当时费城人队以 10-6 击败了辛辛那提红腿队。对于一个 9 岁的球迷来说，能亲眼看到里奇·阿什本、德尔·恩尼斯和杰克·迈耶是一件令人兴奋的事。多年来我参加了许多场比赛，过程中总是看着我的记录卡并用铅笔填入比分。

6 月 14 日，我和儿子及妻子一起去观看国民队对阵西雅图水手队的比赛。但当我要求购买节目单和比分记录本时，店员告诉我国民队不再印刷和销售这些东西了。我垂头丧气！不过，路易斯·加西亚（小）在看台上扔给我一个球。那是我人生中接到的第一个球。于是我在球上写下了日期和比分，并将《邮报》上印刷的比赛统计表剪下来塑封了。我不会再去参加国民队的任何比赛了，因为我再也没法记录比分了。

一个出人意料的州对实验性医疗方案大胆下注

作者：VICKI NORTON

我的母亲 84 岁时，在标准治疗失效后尝试实验性疗法，最终因胰腺癌去世。州政府和联邦政府的“尝试权”（right-to-try）法律允许像我母亲这样的患者寻求更有前景的早期治疗方案。但这些法律并未提供足够的配套基础设施，来帮助患者在众多选项和繁琐的官僚程序中寻找出路。

然而，立法改革在一个出人意料的地方正获得动力：蒙大拿州。

通过在 2025 年颁布 S.B. 535 法案，蒙大拿州成为第一个建立实验性治疗中心许可框架的州。在这些中心，患者可以寻求帮助，以获取那些已完成第一阶段临床试验，但仍处于美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）安全性和有效性评估阶段的疗法。

2023 年，蒙大拿州将其“尝试权”法律扩展到了严重且危及生命的疾病干预措施之外。但 2025 年的法律走得更远。它引入了一类获得许可的医疗设施，授权其推荐并实施研究性治疗。蒙大拿州不仅为患者寻求早期方案创造了法律权利，还建立了交付这些方案的基础设施。

其实际效果显著。蒙大拿州现在被定位为医疗游客的目的地，这些人寻求抗衰老药物、干细胞手术以及其他已通过初步安全试验但距离 FDA 批准仍有数年之久的疗法。

最初人们担心 S.B. 535 过分倾向于患者权利而牺牲了患者安全，但实施保障措施的监管条例在一定程度上缓解了这一担忧，而这些保障措施在法律条文本身中明显缺失。例如，蒙大拿州公共卫生与人类服务部在 7 月通过的条例要求报告副作用、成立独立委员会以批准临床决定，并制定质量保证计划（例如通过审查患者投诉和治疗结果）。此外，中心必须满足人员配置和治理要求，包括聘请一名持有有效蒙大拿州执照的医疗总监，由其开发并维护一套追踪患者结果和治疗批准状态的系统。

但仍有进一步的问题存在。

“尝试权”运动始于 2014 年的州级层面，旨在促进患者权利。在四年内，40 个州颁布了某种形式的“尝试权”立法，形成了国会无法忽视的势头。到 2018 年 5 月，一项联邦“尝试权”法案被签署成为法律。州法律使“尝试权”常态化，创造了由患者和倡导团体组成的政治选民群体，并产生了建立统一联邦框架的压力，从而降低了跨州运营制造商的不确定性。

蒙大拿州能否引发类似的浪潮？有理由认为这些新设施可能无法获得同样的认可。最初的“尝试权”法律目标非常明确，仅针对寻求最后手段以获取测试中药物的重病患者——这是一个在政治上容易获得同情且叙事简单的群体。而蒙大拿州的法律则广泛得多，它建立了一套系统，以协商价格向患有任何疾病的患者提供实验性治疗。

此外，S.B. 535 的部分理由是为了解决地理上的获取差距，这种差距在蒙大拿州和其他在临床试验中代表性不足的农村州尤为严重。为了确保这些治疗中心不会仅仅成为富有的州外游客的目的地而将蒙大拿州居民抛在身后，S.B. 535 要求这些新中心将净利润的 2% 用于支持符合条件的蒙大拿州居民获得医疗服务。

该法律的适用范围极其广泛，而其政策目标主要根植于蒙大拿州在医疗服务获取方面面临的挑战，这可能会限制其在其他州的吸引力，并招致监管机构和患者倡导者的批评。后者认为，尽管有相关规定，但该立法对患者安全的保护仍然不足。

一个更紧迫的问题是，是否需要联邦政府采取行动，以解决制造商或诊所向蒙大拿州运送未经批准的治疗方案所面临的法律风险。联邦《食品、药品和化妆品法》通常禁止将未经批准的药物引入州际贸易。

联邦《尝试权法案》（right-to-try act）为提供给患有严重或危及生命疾病患者的合格新型药物开辟了豁免通道，但 S.B. 535 允许在获得许可的设施中向广泛的患者群体销售实验性治疗方案。

目前仍有两个问题尚待解决：联邦《尝试权》豁免是否涵盖这种新模式（至少针对危急健康问题），以及美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）是否会选择不对向蒙大拿州运送产品的制造商行使执法裁量权。

如果该州取得成功且其他州纷纷效仿，由此产生的碎片化许可制度可能会产生通过国会立法或 FDA 指南寻求联邦澄清的需求。但考虑尽早进入蒙大拿州实验性治疗中心市场的制造商、投资者和医疗服务提供者无法承受等待。他们现在就需要明确联邦法律风险。

CBS新闻想要一个新的安迪·鲁尼。它应该先研究一下原版。

上周，媒体网站 Breaker 报道称，深陷困境的 “60 Minutes” 执行制片人尼克·比尔顿（Nick Bilton）在同样深陷困境的 CBS 新闻总编辑巴里·魏斯（Bari Weiss）的授权下，希望将一个失传已久的环节带回节目：“几分钟时间”（A Few Minutes With）。这个由安迪·鲁尼（Andy Rooney）主持的环节运行了 33 年之久，直到鲁尼在 2011 年以 92. 岁高龄退休。据报道，比尔顿和魏斯正将目光投向一些喜剧演员（并非巧合的是，这些人往往与魏斯持有同样怀疑“觉醒文化”的世界观），例如杰里·赛恩菲尔德（Jerry Seinfeld，他已拒绝）和约翰·克利斯（John Cleese）。由于该节目定于 9 月 13, 回归，且经过了大幅改版，并缺失了像斯科特·佩利（Scott Pelley）这样的核心人物，他们最好快点找到合适的人选。

如果他们打算取代鲁尼，那么记住他究竟是谁，或许是很有价值的。

与当时人们的印象相反，安迪·鲁尼其实并非天生就是那个在周日晚上对着摄像机发表评论的人。正如保罗·格隆达尔（Paul Grondahl）即将出版的精彩传记《安迪·鲁尼：幸运的一生》（Andy Rooney: A Lucky Life）中所揭示的，鲁尼首先且最重要地是一名老派记者。

他的职业生涯始于为《星条旗报》（Stars and Stripes）报道第二次世界大战，当时他的搭档是他终生的挚友沃尔特·克朗凯特（Walter Cronkite）。（克朗凯特曾将一次对德国的轰炸描述为“地狱之行”，鲁尼多年来一直嘲笑这句话过于辞藻华丽。）即便在那时，鲁尼就因不在乎礼节或讨好他人而脱颖而出。他唯一的目标是最纯粹的新闻目标：讲述真相。

在为《星条旗报》报道战争期间——该刊物以独立性著称（目前正受到国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）的攻击），独立于资助它的政府——鲁尼抨击了许多被奉为神圣的人物，例如欧内斯特·海明威（“你可以看出他在把战争当成人生中最快乐的时光来玩”），尤其是乔治·巴顿（George Patton），鲁尼称其为“一个满口脏话的粗鲁之徒，为了提升个人名声导致太多美国士兵丧生”。巴顿曾就此类报道给《星条旗报》写了一封愤怒的信，但毫无效果。鲁尼最终因其工作获得了铜星勋章。

战后，鲁尼为报纸撰稿，并最终进入电视领域：他在 1968, 年为 CBS 赢得了首个艾美奖，两年后因 CBS 拒绝播出一个名为《战争随笔》（An Essay on War）的片段而离职，随后在 PBS 朗读了该篇随笔（这是他第一次在电视摄像机前朗读自己的作品），并在几年后被 CBS 重新雇佣。 “60 Minutes” 的这个机会之所以出现，是因为观众讨厌一个观点对立的环节（该环节曾被《周六夜现场》的丹·艾克罗伊德（Dan Aykroyd）和简·库廷（Jane Curtin）辛辣地嘲讽）。于是他们给了鲁尼最后 2.5 分钟的时间，结果立即获得了巨大的成功。

鲁尼对待美国生活的古怪之处和不堪之地的态度，与他对待巴顿时的那种冷静且不懈的劲头如出一辙。他的评论通常涉及轻巧的话题——比如为什么麦片盒只装了一半，为什么电子设备几乎立刻就坏掉——但这些评论基于一个普通人的视角，其核心在于消费者反抗企业的虐待。格隆达尔写道：“他为弱势群体发声，痛斥大企业，向骗子吐唾沫，揭露虚伪，讽刺傲慢，抱怨日常烦心事，并坚守一种有时被误认为粗鲁的基石哲学。”这就是鲁尼：他始终试图成为一个真相的讲述者。

这可能会让他陷入麻烦。书中引用佩利的一段话非常准确：“安迪明白，受欢迎程度与新闻业毫无关系，”他说，“他始终坚守自己的信念，完全不在乎任何人如何看待他的文字。”佩利关于受欢迎程度与新闻业无关的看法是对的，但鲁尼的视角可能会有盲点，无论是在库尔特·科本自杀几天后对他进行嘲讽，还是最臭名昭著的、对黑人父母和同性婚姻发表评论，后者导致 CBS 将其停职。但他也愿意改变，更重要的是，愿意学习，他在节目中表示，他不希望成为“一个让生活变得更困难的人……对此我感到非常糟糕”。鲁尼会发表强有力的声明，但这些声明绝非为了博眼球的“快评”，而且像任何优秀的新闻工作者一样，他试图弥补自己思维中的漏洞。

从最纯粹的意义上讲，他还是一个勤勉的写作工作者：在他的职业生涯中，他大约写了 2,000 篇辛迪加报纸专栏和 1,000 篇电视评论，所有这些都是在他亲手制作并独自拖进《60 Minutes》办公室的一张办公桌前完成的。他很少缺席节目。他在离开节目约一个月后去世，几乎实现了作家的梦想：如此热爱并长期从事自己热爱的事业，以至于最终就在办公桌前溘然长逝。

让新版《60 Minutes》拥有一个鲁尼式环节的想法并不坏。但鲁尼之所以受欢迎或被爱戴，并不是因为他仅仅是对那些恰好成为头条的愚蠢争议做出反应。他受欢迎且被爱戴是因为他被信任。而他之所以被信任，是因为他接纳了核心的新闻原则，并按照这些原则应有的方式去运用它们：即支持弱势群体。

从内心深处来说，他是我们中的一员。任何接替他的人都应该记住鲁尼最精彩的一段话：“我只是尝试将脑海中闪过的一些想法写在纸上，因为我足够平凡，所以这些想法可能也曾在读者的脑海中闪过。我满足于尝试将显而易见的事物量化。”在这个充斥着虚假信息、混乱和欺诈的时代，我想不出还有比这更崇高的使命。希望他的接任者也能听到这一点，因为我们从未如此需要它。

特朗普任期初劳动力市场弱于此前报告

作者：劳伦·考里·格尔利 (LAUREN KAORI GURLEY)

随着唐纳德·特朗普总统的关税及其他政策在部分经济领域产生影响，从2025,年4月到次年3月，美国私营部门创造的就业岗位甚至少于最初报告的数量。

根据劳工统计局周五发布的修正就业数据，在此期间，私营雇主增加的就业岗位比此前报告的少 178,000 个，且零售业、批发贸易业和制造业的就业人数有所下降。

总体而言，此次就业数据的修正幅度较 2024 和 2025 年的大规模修正有所减小，且得到了公共部门招聘的支撑。

“总的来说，这与劳动力市场冷却的趋势一致，但这一时期的降温速度比前两年要慢，”研究劳动力市场的智库 Burning Glass 研究所经济研究主任盖伊·伯格 (Guy Berger) 表示。

近年来，修正数据表明经济状况远比此前认为的要弱，这使这家无党派统计机构成为了关注焦点，并激怒了特朗普及其盟友。

然而，在私营部门就业人数减少与公共部门就业人数增加之间，周五发布的数据显示，在 12 个月期间，就业岗位比最初报告的少 79,000 个，与去年的修正幅度相比，这仅是一次微调。

不过，数据表明，本已疲软的劳动力市场比此前认为的更加脆弱。这对特朗普政府来说并非好兆头，因为在物价上涨给美国人带来压力的情况下，该政府在期中选举前已在经济问题上遭受抨击。

“与此前发现拜登时代就业增长被夸大了数百万个岗位的历史修正相比，这次微小的修正显示，建筑业就业人数实际上比此前认为的增加了 62,000 个岗位——这是未来增长的一个强有力领先指标，”白宫发言人库什·德赛 (Kush Desai) 在一份书面声明中表示。

但周五的数据显示，因关税而一直在流失岗位的制造业，比此前报告的又多失去了 67,000 个岗位。另一个陷入困境的行业——零售业，从 2025 年 4 月到 2026 年 3 月流失的岗位比初步估计的多 154,000 个。

不过，建筑业和公用事业部门表现更强。新数据显示，在数据中心热潮的推动下，这两个行业在同期均实现了增长，合计增加了 70,000 个岗位。

去年夏天，在一次阴郁的就业报告发布后，特朗普采取了前所未有的举措，解雇了劳工统计局 (BLS) 局长埃里卡·麦肯塔弗 (Erika McEntarfer)，他声称该报告被“操纵”，但未提供证据。次月，劳工统计局公布的修正数据显示，雇主创造的就业岗位比此前认为的少 911,000 个，这是有记录以来最大规模的下调，白宫随即宣布该机构已“崩溃”。

然而，经济学家驳斥了数据不可靠的指控，将大规模修正归因于多种因素。他们表示，当经济快速增长或萎缩时——例如在疫情期间，或在经济衰退开始时——可能会出现巨大的变动，因为调查很难捕捉到有多少企业在开业或关门。近年来移民流向的重大变化也可能扭曲了数据。导致这些修正的问题在今年似乎已部分解决，数据的调整幅度也随之减小。

然而，用于收集数据的政府电话和在线调查的响应率下降，依然困扰着该机构。

麦肯塔弗去年被解雇一事引发了人们的担忧，担心特朗普会试图强迫该机构提供更理想的数据。但包括现任斯坦福大学研究员麦肯塔弗在内的经济学家们普遍认为，目前还没有证据表明数据受到了干扰，因为数据受到该机构严格的程序和协议约束。特朗普政府任命布雷特·松本为劳工统计局的新任负责人。

松本是一名职业政府经济学家，最近曾在特朗普的白宫工作。他接手面临的挑战包括重建公众对数据的信任以及解决调查响应率问题。该机构的预算已落后于通货膨胀，且在特朗普政府削减联邦政府员工人数后，劳工统计局的许多职位仍处于空缺状态。

劳工统计局将修订后的就业数据作为年度流程（即“基准校准”）的一部分发布。这些修订目前为初步结果，将于 2027 年初最终确定。

AI公司Anthropic赢得挑战五角大楼黑名单的诉讼

法官裁定该公司被贴上“供应链风险”标签的行为非法

作者：伊恩·邓肯 (IAN DUNCAN)

人工智能公司Anthropic赢得了一场联邦诉讼，挑战特朗普政府今年早些时候将该公司定性为国家安全风险的决定。此前，该决定禁止该公司与整个政府及军事承包商开展业务。

旧金山的一位联邦法官周四裁定，政府的行为——主要依据一份四页的备忘录为由——是“非法且毫无根据的”。

今年2月，Anthropic的领导层与国防部高层官员发生冲突，起因是五角大楼要求必须被允许将该公司的AI模型用于任何合法目的。该公司则寻求保证，其系统不会被用于驱动全自动武器或执行大规模国内监视。

国防官员拒绝了这一要求，并将该公司标记为供应链风险——这一认定对Anthropic的业务产生了深远影响，法官裁定这通过将其排除在联邦合同之外，威胁到将使该公司“瘫痪”。

旧金山美国地方法院法官丽塔·F·林 (Rita F. Lin) 周四裁定，虽然五角大楼可以自由选择与其合作的承包商，但政府采取如此广泛行动没有依据。

林法官写道，官员们的“同期言行证实，被挑战的行动是基于一种愿望，即因Anthropic批评政府而表现出的‘傲慢’，将其作为公开反面教材”。

Anthropic开发了ChatGPT的竞争对手Claude，在过去一年中，Claude因其编程能力在软件公司中广受欢迎。周四的裁决是在法官3月份的一项初步命令之后做出的，代表了对特朗普政府处理该情况方式的严厉谴责。但华盛顿另一起相关且重叠的案件仍在审理中。

DADO RUVIC / 路透社

政府律师在最近的一次庭审中表示，五角大楼正在继续将其系统中的Anthropic工具移除，预计将在9月底前完成这项工作。

Anthropic曾寻求五角大楼的保证，确保其系统不会被用于驱动全自动武器或执行大规模国内监视。

Anthropic周四表示，欢迎法官的决定。

该公司在声明中表示：“我们仍专注于与政府开展富有成效的合作，利用AI维护我们的国家安全，使所有美国人都能从这项技术中受益。”

五角大楼和白宫没有立即回应置评请求。

Anthropic是2024年首家被批准在政府机密系统上工作的AI公司，最初与国防官员合作积极。当双方的斗争在2月下旬达到顶峰时，这家国家领先的AI公司与联邦政府之间的关系似乎将受到严重损害。

特朗普政府的立场在4月有所缓和，当时Anthropic宣布开发了一款名为Mythos的新模型，该模型具有强大的新型计算机黑客攻击能力。联邦官员竞相获取该技术以了解其带来的风险，Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊 (Dario Amodei) 也访问了白宫。

银行业 (BANKING)

特朗普政府限制相关业务

特朗普政府正采取措施限制一家埃及银行在阿拉伯联合酋长国的业务，指控该金融机构在美伊战争进入第六个月之际，成为了德黑兰领导层的经济生命线。

根据财政部周五提出的一项新规定，埃及第二大银行——米斯尔银行（Banque Misr）的阿联酋分行将被切断与美国金融系统的联系。

此前，财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）本周宣布发起一项新行动，敦促那些仍与已受到严厉制裁的伊斯兰共和国开展业务的国家切断金融联系，否则将面临美国的报复。

此次并未对该埃及银行直接实施制裁，这一举动表明共和党政府不愿惩罚那些与伊朗有贸易往来的主要贸易伙伴，包括中国和印度。贝森特周一告诉记者，他希望各国在为时太晚之前有机会远离伊朗，以避免颠覆全球金融体系。

财政部表示，该规定在生效前将经过为期 30 天的公众评论期。

根据埃及央行周五发布的一份声明，埃及外交部和央行确认已知晓这项新规，并正与美国官员进行沟通。

声明补充称，该措施不影响任何其他埃及银行，也不涉及米斯尔银行在埃及境内的业务或其任何其他海外分行。

量子计算机：加拿大将提供 1.4亿美元 贷款用于建厂

加拿大政府将向 Xanadu Quantum 提供 $140.78 亿加元的贷款，用于建立一家生产量子计算机光子组件的工厂，这是该国迄今为止对该技术最大规模的支持。

这一于周五公布的举措凸显了全球对量子计算机日益增长的兴趣。此前几个月，特朗普政府决定在九家量子计算公司中持有 20 亿加元 billion 的股权，以确保美国的领先地位。

专家长期以来一直宣扬量子计算机解决常规计算机无法解决的问题并加速科学发现的潜力，但由于该技术对包括声音在内的任何干扰都极其敏感，因此仍然容易出错。

周五的贷款涵盖了 Xanadu 在 3 月份宣布的最高 C3.9亿美元 的潜在政府资金中的联邦部分。该公司表示，预计将在“不久的将来”宣布一项关于剩余最高 C1.95亿美元 资金（来自安大略省政府）的协议。

Xanadu 表示，将利用这笔联邦贷款帮助在多伦多建立一座光子制造厂，但未透露具体条款。

检查员发现储罐不符合使用标准

根据周五发布的一份联邦报告，一家检查承包商在华盛顿州一家造纸厂的一口化学储罐被判定为“不符合继续使用标准”，而该储罐在 10 个月后的 5 月发生故障，导致 11 人死亡，成为近几十年来美国最严重的职场灾难之一。

美国化学安全委员会（U.S. Chemical Safety Board）关于 5 月 26 日在朗格维尤（Longview）发生的故障更新报告是持续调查的一部分。此次故障喷出的强碱性液体足以将建筑墙壁炸毁。该联邦机构表示，目前仍在确定故障原因。

委员会发现，承包商向日本 Dynawave 包装公司（Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company）提供了内部检查和外壳维修建议，但该公司在 2025, 年 7 月的检查与 2026 年 5 月的故障之间未采取任何措施。

西部纸浆和造纸工人协会（Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers）周五发表声明称，委员会的调查结果“令人深感不安”。

代表遇难兄弟泰勒·考文顿（Tyler Covington）和布拉德利·考文顿（Bradley Covington）家属的律师表示，委员会的发现“简直令人震惊”。

根据委员会的报告，承包商在 2025 年 7 月的一次外部检查后发现，储罐底部的“显著变薄”已低于最低安全厚度。报告称，最低安全厚度是一个衡量储罐承受液体压力和支撑自身重量能力的阈值。

同一家承包商在 2025 年 10 月和 2026 年 2 月对储罐外部进行了检查，两次均确认“储罐的大部分区域仍薄于计算出的最低安全壁厚”。

储罐故障释放了约 900,000 加仑的白液（white liquor），这种液体用于分解木材以制造纸制品，并能导致严重灼伤。除遇难工人外，另有数人及一名消防员受伤。

林赛·克兰西审判的极度地狱

这名马萨诸塞州女性因杀害其 3 个孩子而受审，但她早已被判定为罪无可赦

作者：莫妮卡·赫塞（MONICA HESSE）

在本周林赛·克兰西（Lindsay Clancy）审判的最后几天里，最后一名证人——一位仪表整洁的法医精神病学家——向陪审团讲述了林赛向他描述的杀害三个孩子的那个夜晚。据该医生称，林赛说她先是将二孩子 3 岁的道森（Dawson）带到地下室，然后将 5 岁的长女科拉（Cora）带到楼下另一个房间。婴儿是最后一个，这或许就是为什么在父亲回家后，婴儿被紧急送往医院时，医生们能够短暂地使其心脏恢复跳动。卡兰（Callan）当时 8 个月大。

在进一步讲述之前，宇宙中没有任何足够的预警能让你做好心理准备去观看这场审判。该审判自上个月开始以来每天都在进行直播，陪审团于周四下午开始评议。它可能会给你带来噩梦，对我而言确实如此。它变成了一场关于母亲身份和心理健康的公投，同时也涉及阴谋论、法庭举止以及女性的发饰，而这一切都发生在你能想象到的最糟糕的事情背景之下。

在过去的三年里，林赛对事件的叙述在微小细节上偶尔会有变动。但她从未改变故事的基本轮廓，即在 2023 年 1 月 24 日，她建议晚餐点外卖，在丈夫帕特里克（Patrick）去取餐时，她听到一个声音命令她杀死孩子，这样她随后就可以自杀。她用健身弹力带勒死了孩子们。然后她上楼，吞下了各种药片，用刀割破脖子，并从一扇次要窗户跳了下去。

药片、刀伤和坠落不足以结束她的生命，但她在撞击时导致脊柱严重受损，这一伤势使她必须永久使用轮椅。

她的幸存将一个本已悲剧的故事变成了令人毛骨悚然的故事，因为一个活着的林赛·克兰西必须为其行为负责。她被逮捕，本月在马萨诸塞州面对由同类组成的陪审团受审，这场审判让许多居家观众完全失去了方向感。

在跟踪林赛·克兰西审判及其网络反应的四周时间里，我听到观察者推测她是个怪物。我听到他们推测她是个受害者。说她既是一位慈母，又是一个犯罪天才。我听到说她是个精神病患者，说她让她的精神科医生爱上了她。我看过来自 CVS 药店的监控截图，网络评论者发誓这些截图将改变局面，并在上面用箭头和圆圈做标记。然而，无论我看多少次，我都看不出那些箭头和圆圈到底意味着什么。

展示帕顿才华的歌曲

作为一名歌手和词曲作者，这位乡村音乐专家在《9 to 5》及其他热门歌曲中倾注了大量心血

作者：伊森·贝克 (ETHAN BECK)

多年来，多莉·帕顿 (Dolly Parton) 逐渐蜕变为一个传奇人物。帕顿于周二去世，享年 80 岁。她是多莉伍德 (Dollywood) 背后精明干练的商业执行官，是图书赠送计划的策划者，也是一位慈善巨头，她的捐款帮助推动了莫德纳 (Moderna) 新冠疫苗的研发。她公众形象的每一个片段，似乎都自然地生长在她庞大的音乐作品集中，在这些作品中，帕顿将自己塑造为一个坚韧、情感坦率且充满直觉的形象。

她是那种罕见的创作歌手，无论是在涉足迪斯科、流行乐还是尽情演绎摇滚乐时，其无与伦比的天赋在整个职业生涯中都清晰可见。但在 20 世纪 60 年代，帕顿兼任歌手和作曲家的双重角色在女性中十分罕见。“我真的无法做出选择：我必须写作，我也必须唱歌，我宁愿两者兼顾，”她在 1967 年说道，并估计自己当时已经写了几百首歌。以下是帕顿创作的六首直白且极具感染力的经典之作：

《你的老修理工》(Your Ole Handy Man) (1967)

许多人可能会将《傻金发》(Dumb Blonde) 视为她构建超越现实之公众形象的早期例子，因为该曲中包含她“绝非任何人的傻瓜”的断言。但《你的老修理工》依然是对关系中家务劳动被低估的敏锐观察。在翻滚的鼓点律动和和谐的合声辅助下，帕顿指责她的爱人“像婴儿一样无助”。

8 月下旬可能是电影院里一个令人沮丧的时段，但在目前上映的英国浪漫喜剧《寻找艾米莉》中可以发现一颗明珠。这里终于出现了一个关于年轻爱情的聪明、幽默且甜蜜的故事，这是电影观众值得看到的。是的，设定虽然刻意——甚至几乎完全可以浓缩进一段电影预告片中——但这种方式足够熟悉且接地气，不像那部极其反乌托邦的《仅限一夜》(One Night Only)。在曼彻斯特的这个大学校园里，没有关于婚前性行为的荒唐法律；只有普通的年轻人给自己制造麻烦。

电影以一个好得令人难以置信的“邂逅”开始，欧文 (Owen，由斯派克·费恩饰演) 找到了他的梦中情人（由萨迪·索弗-奥尔 Sadie Sover-all 饰演），她穿着仙女装，似乎对他很感兴趣。背景中播放着英伦流行乐，世界仿佛在渐渐远去。夜晚她随朋友们去了其他地方，但在离开前，她将电话号码给了欧文。他心花怒放地离开，思考着应该间隔多久之后——详见 B2 页《寻找艾米莉》

克兰西的审判成了众多业余“扶手椅侦探”的谈资

B1版屏幕截图

克兰西的孩子们。我听过人们猜测是帕特里克干的，然后他把妻子推下窗户，接着她失忆了，随后被洗脑（gaslit）而相信自己才是凶手。

她确实是凶手——她从未否认孩子死在自己手中。问题在于她在法律上是否有罪。问题在于，在第三个孩子出生后一直与心理健康问题剧烈斗争、患有失眠症，且被开具了多种她认为无效的抗抑郁药和助眠药的林赛，在死亡事件发生时是否正处于精神崩溃状态。

辩方暗示她服药过量，且被那些本应意识到她对自己和他人构成危险的临床医生所辜负。辩方称，她缺乏意识到自己行为错误的能力，应因精神失常而被判定无罪。

控方的论点是，尽管林赛可能在遭受痛苦，但在死亡事件发生的那个夜晚，她仍然能够意识到杀死孩子既是错误的也是犯罪的。但她想要结束自己的精神痛苦，因此采取了一系列需要迅速且经过计划的行动。

“为了实施对孩子的勒杀，必须做出什么样的决定？”一名检察官在本周早些时候询问一名出庭作证的心理学家。

“要在18到20分钟内完成这样一起谋杀，需要做出许多持续性的决定，”该心理学家说，“例如：为什么选择地下室？孩子们中谁先被杀？为了防止孩子们恐慌，你会对他们说什么？”

林赛在吞药前可能将药片压碎，这一事实是否有重要意义？林赛建议的餐厅是克兰西一家通常不去的地方，这该如何解读？或者，她在让帕特里克去取餐之前，先计算好了路线的时间？

也许毫无意义。也许没有任何重要性。但当一个复杂的案件在 YouTube 上呈现时，突然之间每个人都相信这具有某种意义，相信他们已经彻底破解了整个谜团，而医生、调查员、律师以及林赛本人都无法做到这一点。

对于每一个想要成为“扶手椅侦探”的人来说，这个案件就像水中的血迹，吸引着他们盘旋而至，准备瓜分这份苦难。恐怖变成了项目，悲伤变成了必看电视节目；如果你像我一样在 YouTube 上观看，例如关于韦妥必（Wellbutrin）药效的证词，可能会被防卷边内裤或工业级包装材料的广告定期打断。

在观看直播时，我经常在想审判的摄像师。在大部分法庭程序中，镜头始终聚焦在作证的人身上，包括一系列专家和家庭熟人。

但有时镜头会转向林赛。就好像摄像师知道观众不想仅仅评估专家的证词，而是想见证

林赛的反应，然后对此也进行评估。

她通常面无表情地静坐，棕色的头发用发带固定，卷在肩头。谁能猜到她的内心在想什么？我不知道在这种情况下，你是强迫自己面对恐怖，还是试图通过回忆元素周期表上所有的过渡金属，或者所有欧洲国家的首都之类的事情来逃避。

在某个时刻，当一名医学专家描述检查科拉·克兰西（Cora Clancy）毫无生气的尸体时，林赛的肩膀开始随着抽泣而起伏。“我做不到，”她哀嚎道。

当法庭匆忙休庭时，林赛的脸在很大程度上被遮挡，但我们仍然能听到她哭喊着：“我做不到；我做不到”，直到镜头转向休息期间总是转向的地方——法庭墙上的马萨诸塞州蓝色州徽。

是我搞错了吗？遗漏了什么吗？如果你是关注这场审判的旁观者之一，你的答案几乎肯定地是：是的，我没有正确解读那些圆圈和箭头，我遗漏了最重要的事情。也许是关于帕特里克作为丈夫的参与，或者是关于林赛作为一名产科护士的职业生涯，亦或是关于“听到幻听”与“产生侵入性想法”之间的区别。

我们真正想要的是定论。是让这一切变得合理，并揭开迫使林赛杀死自己孩子的秘密。

如果你认为林赛应该被判定有罪，可能是因为这是你能想象到的最令人厌恶的行为，而且你认为母亲的爱应该能够超越脑海中任何所谓的幻听。

如果你认为她应该被判定无罪，可能是因为你希望相信，如果一个好母亲——根据所有说法，林赛确实是一个好母亲——杀死了自己的孩子，那么她在作案时一定处于精神失常状态。

安德里亚·耶茨在丈夫说服她再要一个孩子后，将她的五个孩子淹死在浴缸里——尽管医生警告说再次怀孕将摧毁她的心理健康。她最初被判定有罪，直到该判决被推翻；在重新审理中，她因精神失常而被判定无罪。苏珊·史密斯将一辆载有她两个儿子的汽车推入湖中，然后将其归咎于一名虚构的劫持者。她没有精神疾病，只是行为不可理喻。

但几乎所有人都认为林赛·克兰西病得很重，非常严重。在审判过程中，我们了解到，在不同时间点，治疗或采访过林赛的专家推测她可能患有重度抑郁障碍。或者是伴有焦虑和抑郁的适应障碍。双相情感障碍。双相 II 型。产后抑郁症。产后精神病。产后应激障碍。

我发现自己不止一次地想到，法庭并不是讨论这些问题的合适场所。但这很荒谬，因为法庭是我们唯一能讨论这些问题的地方。但我们的法律体系是对抗性的，因此陪审员必须在两种选项中择其一：要么她是被医疗系统辜负了，要么她就是一个怪物。

但在我看来，林赛经常得到许多专业人士尽其所能的帮助。她接受过门诊治疗。住院治疗。她被推荐进行谈话治疗。她被开具了药物，其中一些她因为副作用而不敢服用。这个家庭与林赛的父母关系密切，他们提供了帮助。这个家庭与帕特里克的父母关系密切，他们也提供了帮助。

林赛在恳求帮助。每个人都试图提供帮助。但人类精神中存在着巨大的深渊，我们至今仍不理解，我们试图将其纳入我们个人关于“母性本能”的概念中，然后期待法院能将其理清。

我们无法得出定论。这不会变得合理。这就是秘密所在。

我要告诉你们一件事情，几乎每个母亲在我们在游泳池边、在接孩子后的人行道上，或者在最初因为多莉·帕顿而建立的群聊中讨论此案时都说过。几乎每个母亲都说过的话是：如果是我，我现在已经死了。

也就是说，林赛在结束孩子们的生命时最终没有结束自己的生命，但她后来怎么可能没有再次尝试？她怎么能继续每天早晨醒来？

一名心理健康专家作证称，林赛现在处于“面向未来”的状态。我们只能推测这是一个正式的心理学术语，指的是构思和规划未来的能力；但在我听来，我想的是：还有什么未来？她会希望有什么样的未来？

“她在生活中没有做错任何事，”她的律师在结案陈词中说道。“她曾是一名护士、一个女儿、一名妻子，而且是一个极其优秀的母亲，”但最终却陷入了一场噩梦，“这一切都是因为那该死的药物和糟糕的医疗护理。”

“她当时患有抑郁症，”检察官在结案陈词中表示。“她精疲力竭。她崩溃了。她不想再尝试了，她觉得自己被摧毁了。那些孩子是她的保护因素。他们让她没有结束自己的痛苦。因此，她必须除掉这个保护因素。”

我已经关注这场审判好几天了。每到深夜，我都感到恶心。有时在失眠时，我会踮起脚尖去看我熟睡的女儿，她现在的年龄正值科拉·克兰西去世时的年纪，我想着如果有人伤害她我会怎么做。然后我想着，如果那个人是我。

我坐在床边，在经历了数周除了听人们试图说服我林赛·克兰西有罪或无罪之外别无他事之后，我发现自己很难在乎结果。因为我很难想象，即便我是林赛·克兰西，我是否会在乎结果。

相反，我在想我是否会这样思考：惩罚我吧。不要惩罚我。把我送进监狱。把我送进医院。让我回家。对我来说都无所谓。这一切对我来说都毫无意义。把我的孩子们还给我。把1月23日还给我。惩罚我或不惩罚我，但你们所能做的任何事情，都比我亲手创造的、且我每天生活其中的地狱要轻。

《寻找艾米莉》向 90 年代英式浪漫喜剧的伟大传统致敬

《寻找艾米莉》（FINDING EMILY）来自 B1

他发了短信。但有个问题：号码少了一位。这是故意的吗？还是个错误？他选择相信后者，并出发寻找她，而他只知道她的名字叫艾米莉（Emily）。

没有人会对欧文（Owen）在校园里寻找艾米莉的绝望追求感到特别着迷。瑞秋·海伦斯（Rachel Hirons）的剧本理解浪漫喜剧和“宏大举动”的一个基本事实——只有在对方也感兴趣的情况下，这些举动才有效。如果对方不感兴趣，往好里说，这很诡异；往坏里说，这就是恐怖电影的开端。但随后另一个艾米莉（安古莉·赖斯 Angourie Rice 饰）出现了，她在让欧文吃了不少苦头并点名批评了“古灵精怪的梦幻女孩”（manic pixie dream girl）这一套路后，决定提供帮助。然而，观众知道而他不知道的是，这个美国籍的艾米莉有自己的 ulterior motive（ ulterior motive）。她试图通过一篇能让她获得工作并留在该国的论文来证明，爱情会让人们发疯。“他就是我自己的‘斯坦福监狱实验’，”她兴奋地告诉一个朋友。

你能预见到接下来的走向，对吧？即便剧情可预测，但在艾丽西亚·麦克唐纳（Alicia MacDonald）的导演下，它依然非常犀利且迷人，既向 90 年代英式浪漫喜剧的伟大传统致敬（《寻找艾米莉》与《布里奇特·琼斯的日记》拥有共同的制片人），又在情节中加入了一抹 Z 世代的辛辣。你可以打赌，当欧文——他不是学生而是处于试用期的员工——给所有名叫艾米莉的人发邮件时，校园里的女性团体一定会提出一些“严重关切”。

饰演欧文的费恩（Fearn）成功地没有跨过那条变成“诡异”的界线。他留着典型的诺埃尔·加拉格尔（Noel Gallagher）式发型，身材瘦削，带着一种局促不安的纯真，面对那些关注以及被指责为“非自愿独身者”（incel）的指控时，他显得不知所措。与此同时，赖斯在赢得观众认可方面面临着更艰巨的挑战，但我们原谅过更严重的浪漫喜剧罪行，不是吗？而且，与《仅限一夜》（One Night Only）中那些具有异域美感的明星不同，她的服装和举止看起来至少更接地气（尽管我们也知道她同样是一位美丽的电影明星）。

《寻找艾米莉》一个特别新鲜的方面在于，那种“他们是否会在一起”的悬念甚至不是吸引我们关注的真正驱动力。我们真的在为欧文和美国艾米莉加油吗？我们认为如果他们真的在一起了，天呐，能长久吗？这部电影很清楚自己的定位。它知道主角们处于 20 岁出头，并且知道我们可以在不投入过多情感于一段潜在关系的情况下，享受与他们共处的时光。《寻找艾米莉》只是他们生活中的一个故事。

对于浪漫喜剧迷来说，现在的环境很凄凉，而且最近看来，在寥寥无几的作品中，那些最花哨的反而最可疑。并不是这类电影完全不再制作，而是最近几个月最受关注的往往是最糟糕的，比如《办公室恋情》（Office Romance）。《寻找艾米莉》能获得院线发行是一个好迹象，也许它不会像非常优秀的《给伊莎贝尔的语音信箱》（Voicemails for Isabelle）那样消失在流媒体的虚无之中——后者曾在 Netflix 榜单之首停留了一段时间，但之后基本上销声匿迹了。值得注意的是，《语音信箱》同样是由女性（利亚·麦肯德里克 Leah McKendrick）编剧并导演的；也许所有制片厂都应该留意，近期优秀的作品究竟出自谁之手。

PG-13. 13. 包含粗俗语言、药物引用、性暗示及部分粗俗内容。111 分钟。

乡村音乐天后多莉·帕顿的必听曲目

B1 选曲

反映了她在田纳西州东部贫寒的成长经历。她的母亲用碎布缝制衣服，导致她在学校时曾被同学锁在壁橱里。但她在《多彩外套》（Coat of Many Colors）中笑到了最后，将童年的痛苦转化为希望：“虽然我们没有钱，但我依然无比富有 / 穿着妈妈为我缝制的多彩外套，”帕顿如此唱道。

《乔琳》（Jolene）(1973)

《乔琳》源自另一个真实故事，当时帕顿意识到她的丈夫对当地的一名银行出纳员有好感。她将面对潜在竞争对手的焦虑转化为一首节奏飞快、紧张不安的歌曲，而叙述者在歌中并未获得幸福的结局。帕顿向那个能“轻易抢走我的男人”的女人发出的恳求具有令人难忘的个人色彩，而她的绝望感具有如此强烈的吸引力，以至于白条纹乐队（White Stripes）和麦莉·赛勒斯（Miley Cyrus）都曾翻唱过此曲。

《我将永远爱你》（I Will Always Love You）(1974)

在被惠特尼·休斯顿将其推向巅峰并使其成为流行音乐史上最伟大的情歌之一之前，《我将永远爱你》是帕顿对歌手波特·瓦戈纳（Porter Wagoner）的告别，她曾与瓦戈纳以二人组形式合作演出多年。原版录音中轻盈的唱腔锚定了帕顿的心碎，而那些温柔的电吉他以及类似嘟喔普（doo-wop）风格的合唱团，则解释了为何埃尔维斯·普雷斯利（Elvis Presley）也想演绎这首歌。

《清晨的湛蓝之光》（Light of a Clear Blue Morning）(1977)

如果说帕顿在职业上与瓦戈纳的分道扬镳最终成就了史上最伟大的歌曲之一，那么它也为我们带来了《清晨的湛蓝之光》，这首歌能轻松地从钢琴情歌过渡到欢快的福音讲道风格。作为帕顿第二首进入 Billboard Hot 100, 的单曲，它仅达到了第 87, 位，对于一首能攀登至如此狂喜高度的歌曲来说，这个排名令人震惊。

《9 to 5》（9 to 5）(1980)

任何为了支付账单而从事毫无前途工作的人，都能理解帕顿故事中那种“勉强维持生计”的困境。得益于那些号角的鸣响和迪斯科风情的律动，这首歌成为了被广泛人群采纳的赞歌——从变装皇后到《死侍 2》和《怪诞小镇》的配乐监督，再到工会组织。

基特·哈灵顿（Kit Harington）回归了 HBO 的奇幻剧领域。

哈灵顿因在乔治·R.R.马丁小说改编的电视剧《权力的游戏》中饰演不情愿的英雄琼恩·雪诺（Jon Snow）而广为人知。HBO 周一确认，他已加入 《哈利·波特》系列的演员阵容。 在 Instagram 上预告了哈灵顿的加盟，透露他将饰演吉德罗·洛哈特教授（Professor Gilderoy Lockhart）。

据 Deadline 报道，《超人》和《伦菲尔德》的演员尼古拉斯·霍尔特（Nicholas Hoult）最初被选定饰演该角色，但因档期问题离开了该剧。在作者 J.K. 罗琳深受喜爱的儿童系列电影改编版中，肯尼斯·布拉纳（Kenneth Branagh）饰演了这位霍格沃茨教师。

曾获艾美奖提名的哈灵顿在加入这部电视剧之前，已经拥有了一些《哈利·波特》的相关经验。去年，他为 Audible 的《哈利·波特》有声书配音，饰演洛哈特教授。在《权力的游戏》于 2019 年完结多年后，哈灵顿再次与 合作，在硬核金融剧《行业》（Industry）中饰演一名复杂的科技公司 CEO。

的《哈利·波特》定于圣诞节首播，由多米尼克·麦克劳林（Dominic McLaughlin）饰演哈利·波特，阿拉斯泰尔·斯托特（Alastair Stout）饰演罗恩·韦斯莱，阿拉贝拉·斯坦顿（Arabella Stanton）饰演赫敏·格兰杰。其他演员包括饰演阿尔巴斯·邓布利多的约翰·利思戈（John Lithgow）、饰演鲁伯·海格的尼克·弗罗斯特（Nick Frost）、饰演西弗勒斯·斯内普的帕帕·埃西杜（Paapa Essiedu）、饰演米娜娃·麦格的珍妮特·麦克蒂尔（Janet McTeer）、饰演奎里努斯·奎瑞尔的卢克·萨隆（Luke Thallon）以及饰演阿格斯·费尔奇的保罗·怀特豪斯（Paul Whitehouse）。

今年早些时候，演员格雷西·科克伦（Gracie Cochrane）的家人宣布，这位年轻演员离开了该剧——她原定饰演罗恩·韦斯莱的妹妹金妮——原因是由于“不可预见的情况”而做出的“艰难决定”。

在当时的一份声明中写道：“我们支持格雷西·科克伦及其家人不回归 《哈利·波特》系列下一季的决定，并对其在剧集第一季中的工作表示感谢。”

配偶与固执地拒绝在餐桌前用餐的姻亲陷入僵局

插画：尼克·加利法纳基斯，为《华盛顿邮报》绘制

改编自一次在线讨论。

卡罗琳·哈克斯 (Carolyn Hax)

亲爱的卡罗琳：我的姻亲们在吃饭时不坐在餐桌旁。无论是在家只有公婆，还是整个大家族聚会，食物都被放在柜台上，人们自行取餐，然后散坐在房子各处——有的在电视机前，有的在客厅或门廊里玩手机。

在他们家时，我随大流。但在我们家，除非是户外烧烤或超级碗之类的情况，否则我想坐在餐桌旁。我对这件事非常在意，所以在和丈夫约会期间就向他提出过，我们约定好要坐在餐桌旁用餐。

现在，当他的父母过来时，他们拒绝坐在餐桌旁。尤其是他的父亲，他说自己不是孩子，我不能强迫他。所以我们陷入了一场僵局。

如果辛苦准备一顿饭，结果大家却散落在屋子里各处坐着且互不说话，那我不想邀请他们来家里用餐。而我的婆婆则在告诉家族里的每个人，是我不让他们来家里吃饭。

他们喜欢玩宾果游戏，还喜欢带狗去公园长距离散步。我丈夫问过是否可以加入他们做这些事，或者去餐厅吃饭，但我的婆婆拒绝了，因为她知道我们提出这些要求是为了避免在家里用餐。

我一直在两种想法之间摇摆：一方面觉得是我太刻薄，应该放弃；另一方面觉得我的姻亲确实在欺负人。我丈夫支持我，但他也感到很沮丧。他让我写信给你。所以我写了，希望能得到你的建议。

—— 一个想要餐桌之位的人 (A Seat at the Table)

给“一个想要餐桌之位的人”：呼。祝你对付这两个人好运。

有几点建议。

1. 谢谢你的丈夫。

2. 同时也请向他表达我的歉意，因为他的父亲简直像个孩子。“你不能强迫我”，真的吗？另外，也祝贺你的丈夫，他成功地与他的原生家庭拉开了显著的距离。

3. 你，“餐桌之位”，其实在很久以前就已经“赢”了。你们夫妻俩都赢了。这里的“赢”是反讽，因为唯一的胜利是和谐，哪怕你们每个人都蜷缩在不同的壁橱里单独吃饭。你们两人在面对他父母这场古怪的闹剧时，形成了一个温和的统一战线。很好。

4. 不过，就目前情况而言：在姻亲到访问题上划定底线完全在你的权利范围内，但你无意中陷入了一场权力斗争。我想你和那位“你不能告诉我怎么做”先生应该已经见过面了吧？提醒一下，他们听起来真是绝佳的、不应该在任何地方的任何餐桌对面坐着的人。所以，如果你已经准备好为了这件事而放弃晚餐，那我完全支持——但考虑到那位父亲的倾向，如果你还没准备好全面开战，那么优先安排宾果游戏和遛狗或许是更好的选择。

5. 既然你现在已经来求助了，那么至少先回到婚姻的平静状态。请与你的丈夫商量清楚：你们希望如何对待他的父母，好让你们两人都能心满意足地再也不去想他们那场盛大的“坚守”？一旦我们抱怨完他们强迫你们面对的所有其他愚蠢部分（比如你婆婆的诋毁行动），这就是答案的全部。天呐。

6. 你的姻亲确实在欺负人。这场关于坐位的对峙太疯狂了，你没有任何需要妥协的弱点。除非你想这么做：“如果他们想在我们家执行他们的规则 [我是说，真的，哇]，那么我就不再费力招待。”所以，他们可以自带食物，或者吃空气炸锅做的小点心。而且只能在指定区域走动，比如，如果你不想在白色沙发附近看到红酒（red whine，此处原词为whine，意为抱怨 / 哀鸣，谐音wine红酒）。我是不是把 H 字母打错了？噢，我真是个傻瓜。

我加入了那个选项，以防你想用。但如果我是你，我就不会那样做；我会希望我心爱的“苹果”在接下来的这次与父母的谈话中，能与那棵“树”彻底划清界限：“你们这辈子只有一次机会。这就是你们能拿出的最好表现了吗？侮辱我的配偶？在家人面前诋毁我们？拒绝那些该死的妥协邀请？”随后，在他们重新学会礼貌之后，承诺会发出许多热情的邀请——而一旦他们把头从[某些地方]拔出来，这件事就会变得更容易。

也许这就是他们坐不住的原因。

关于座位：就我个人而言，我会寻找那个最让我觉得有趣地解决方案。我认为，邀请姻亲来吃晚餐，精心布置餐桌，在桌上上菜，但如果姻亲们端起盘子离开，就对此保持沉默，这会非常搞笑。你和你的丈夫可以留在桌边继续用餐，就像什么都没发生一样，而姻亲们则在周围徘徊。

我绝对不会做的是在厨房里分餐。让他们走到桌边给自己盛饭，然后随他们怎么想。更好的办法是，邀请其他人，让除了他们之外的所有人都坐在桌边。

寻求应对高中同学聚会时“明褒暗贬”之词的巧妙回应

礼仪小姐 (Miss Manners)

朱迪丝·马丁 (JUDITH MARTIN)、雅各比娜·马丁 (JACOBINA MARTIN) 和 尼古拉斯·艾沃·马丁 (NICHOLAS IVOR MARTIN)

亲爱的礼仪小姐：大约 10 年前，我参加了高中同学聚会。当时我在自助餐队列中排队，一位前同学对我说：“天呐，你现在看起来比高中时候好看多了。”

我想我当时的回应是：“谢谢……我想。”今年晚些时候，我将参加另一次聚会，我想寻求您的建议，如果我再次听到类似的评论，应该如何得体地回应。

我不想重复之前的反应！

“我想我大概是越来越有魅力了。”然后，请克制住想要暗示对方显然没有进步的冲动。

亲爱的礼仪小姐：在我的生日那天，我的家人都坚持要分别给我打电话，祝我生日快乐并询问近况。

我不否认他们的这份心意，但我必须承认，我并不特别享受这个仪式。我平时会定期与兄弟姐妹和父母交流，那些对话很愉快，但通常仅限于双方都有更多空闲时间的周末，而且我通常一天只和一位亲戚通话……而不是在一天之内和所有人通话。

当我的生日落在工作日时，我更希望在下班回家后的晚上，把时间花在孩子和配偶身上，而不是在电话里进行敷衍的交谈。天呐，即使生日在周末，我也不想特意为这些电话安排时间。

您能否建议一种礼貌的方式，来拒绝“你今天什么时候有空接电话？”这样的请求？在其他家人的生日时，我不会特意打电话给他们，而是会发一条不需要回复的生日短信。

今年我的生日，我建议他们都在同一时间给我打电话，这样我就能礼貌地结束一个电话，然后接听刚刚打进来的新电话。这个办法效果还行，但我怀疑我的父母看穿了我的诡计，而且坦白说，即便管理这种掩饰也让我觉得心累。我不想没礼貌，我也当然希望继续我们偶尔的电话交流，但我该如何更好地处理生日当天的通话请求？

不要接电话。或者当你的家人发短信询问什么时候打电话时，告诉他们你计划了一整天忙碌的行程，但很感谢这份心意，会在下次偶尔的通话中再聊。

这解决了问题，且并不失礼。但礼仪小姐要警告你，这并非没有长期后果。也许有一天，你会渴望这些电话，尽管你现在觉得它们很乏味。礼仪小姐希望你目前的疲惫感能够消散，并意识到你的家人爱你，且只想为你庆祝。至于他们让你感到心烦，那只是额外的赠品。

新的礼仪小姐专栏于周一至周六发布在 washingtonpost.com / advice。您可以通过她的网站 missmanners.com 向礼仪小姐发送问题。您也可以在 @RealMissManners 关注她。

生日 / 8月29日：你

你好奇心强。今年节奏较慢。花时间恢复你的能量和心态。专注于商务和个人关系，并确保与那些善良、乐于助人且支持你的人在一起。

月相警示：注意！今天全天直到东部时间晚上11点前，请避免购物（食品和汽油除外）以及做出重要决定。之后，月亮将从双鱼座移入白羊座。

白羊座

(3月21日-4月19日)

今天你强烈地感到需要与他人建立联系。由于月亮落在你的星座，你的情绪较为高涨，这可能会让事情变得有些棘手。你在情感上可以很慷慨，但同时也可能在情感上要求较高。

金牛座

(4月20日-5月20日)

你可能会想从周围人的要求和职责中抽身，因为你想逃避某些事情。可能你不想社交。你可能想要探索世界的神秘面。（你需要一些隐私。）

双子座

(5月21日-6月20日)

(5月21日-6月20日) 今天你与朋友及团体成员的接触至关重要。这就是为什么你可能会对某人感到更有保护欲和支持感。如果这个人更多地关注他人，你甚至可能会感到一点嫉妒。

巨蟹座

(6月21日-7月22日) 你今天处于高曝光状态，这意味着

N-S 脆弱

北 ♠ AJ3 ♥ J10985 ♦ 752 ♣ 95

西 ♠ Q10 8 2 ♥ 6 3 ♦ Q10 6 4 ♣ J7 6 东 ♠ 6 5 4 ♥ AK7 4 ♦ 9 8 ♣ Q10 8 2

南 (D) ♠ K97 ♥ Q2 ♦ AKJ3 ♣ AK43

星座运势

人们比平时更容易注意到你。如果你想与爱人公开争吵，请记住这一点。（在电梯里大声地低语争执？）请意识到，人们今天似乎知道关于你私生活的细节。

狮子座

(7月23日-8月22日)

你今天想要打破常规。你渴望冒险！你需要变换环境。因此，改变你的日常习惯。去一个你从未去过的地方。这可能是一件小事，但至少它是新鲜且全新的！这就是你所渴望的。

处女座

(8月23日-9月22日)

由于你的情感体验比平时更强烈，这可能会体现在你与他人的接触中。也许是因为你对某事感到有占有欲，或者这与你过去的记忆有关。你可能会想要别人拥有的东西。

天秤座

(9月23日-10月22日)

(9月25日-10月22日) 你的注意力可能会转向你最私人的关系，因为你今天感到需要表达自己的感受。因此，如果你与配偶、伴侣或密友发生冲突，情绪波动会更大。警惕下意识的反应。

天蝎座

(10月23日-11月21日)

(10月23日-11月21日) 今天你可能不得不将自己的情感考虑置于他人的考虑之后。别担心，你并不是在扮演殉道者。这只是目前发生的情况。与此同时，花点时间关注你的健康

桥牌

“简单周六”专栏专注于基础技巧和逻辑思维。

“我花时间给女儿解释‘bargain’（便宜货 / 协议）这个词，她说这对她来说意义重大（meant a great deal to her）。” —— 涂鸦

在桥牌桌上要小心“便宜货”。在今天的牌局中，西家在对抗 3NT 时领出黑桃 2，明手跟出 3，东家出 4，而庄家以 7 的“廉价”赢得了第一墩。随后，南家领出红心 Q 并获胜，接着领出一张红心到明手的 J。东家赢得 K 并领出一张梅花。

南家获胜，但必须两次进入明手才能建立并随后兑现长红心。他领出黑桃 9，计划打出明手的 J，但西家警觉地打出 Q。于是，明手的第二次进入机会消失了，南家无法利用红心，仅赢得了 8 墩。

南家需要支付一个“公平的价格”，而你可以通过什么方式来改善你的局面？有想法吗？

射手座

(11月 22 Dec. 21) 这是一个适合浪漫、社交、享受假期以及通过戏剧、电影和娱乐世界拓展视野的美好日子。你可能还会对孩子或浪漫伴侣产生保护欲和照顾之情。

摩羯座

(12月 22-1月 19) 这是一个独自退隐在某处并享受私人空间的完美日子。努力尝试这样做，哪怕只有很短的时间。放松下来。做一些让你感到罪恶但快乐的食物。读本书；看电视；纵容自己。你需要这样做。给自己一个心理健康假期。

水瓶座

(1月 20-2月 18)

今天你感到强烈的与他人交流的欲望，因为你有话想说。关键在于你必须找到一个愿意真诚且诚恳地倾听你的人。换句话说，你不想只是就一些无关紧要的事情与人闲聊。

双鱼座

(2月 19-3月 20)

今天你很容易将自我认同与财产挂钩，这就是为什么你可能会比平时对某些东西更有占有欲。例如，你可能不想把某样东西借给别人。在今天花钱之前，请查看月相预警。

—— 乔治亚·尼科尔斯 (Georgia Nicols) © 2026, KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, INC.

关于第一墩：他必须用 K 赢下。之后他可以用 J 试牌，从而获得必要的第二次进入明手的机会，并以多出一墩（overtrick）结束。

每日问题

你的手牌：

♠ 654 ♥ AK74

♦ 98 ♣ Q 10 8 2

你的搭档开叫 1 钻石。下一位玩家叫 1 黑桃。你如何叫牌？

答案：如果没有这次抢叫，你会响应 1 红心，但你的红心太少且点数不足以叫 2 红心。你最好的叫法是负双（negative double），根据约定，这表示有足够的强度进行响应，且持有红心套加上对钻石的容忍或持有梅花。如果你的搭档接下来叫 2 红心，则过牌。

STEPHANIE SCARBROUGH / AP 四分卫 Sam Hartman 在 Marcus Mariota 受伤的情况下竞争替补位置，他是周五在巴尔的摩参赛的处于阵容边缘的指挥官队球员之一。

接近成功 ...

作者：TASHAN REED

在季前赛的收官战中，华盛顿指挥官队周五在 M&T 银行体育场以 3-41 负于巴尔的摩乌鸦队 —— 不过，这场毫无活力的表现其实并不重要。

指挥官队让 41 名球员休息，包括所有首发球员和许多关键替补。出场的最重要球员是中锋 Matt Gulbin 和 Julian Good-Jones，他们正在竞争 Nick Allegretti 之后的替补位置。

这种谨慎的策略并不新鲜。虽然华盛顿第一线防守的几位关键贡献者在前两场季前赛中获得了显著的练习机会，但第一线进攻球员在周五几乎没有上场。四分卫杰登·丹尼尔斯和其余首发球员在季前赛第二周对阵底特律狮队时仅进行了三次进攻。

乌鸦 41, 指挥官 3

阵容削减前，季前赛收官战数十人休息

教练丹·奎因专注于利用与狮队和乌鸦队的联合训练来模拟比赛情况，而不是让他的首发球员承担额外的受伤风险。考虑到球队目前伤病严重的情况，很难反驳这种做法。

指挥官队在周日下午 4 点之前必须将阵容削减至 53 人。一旦周一下午 1 点从弃权名单（waiver wire）认领球员的期限结束，他们将能够签最多 16 名球员进入练习阵容。他们还可以通过国际球员路径计划获得第 17 个名额，以保留防守端 T.J. Maguranyanga。

这是我的最终阵容预测：

进攻组 (26)

四分卫 (3)

首发：杰登·丹尼尔斯 替补：马库斯·马里奥塔，阿桑·卡利亚克马尼斯

裁掉：萨姆·哈特曼

跑卫 (4)

首发：贾科里·克罗斯基-梅里特 替补：拉查德·怀特，凯特隆·艾伦， 详见 B9 版指挥官队报道

戴维斯的回归叙事投下阴影

作者：埃迪·佩尔斯 (EDDIE PELLS)、 吉姆·穆斯蒂安 (JIM MUSTIAN) 以及约书亚·古德曼 (JOSHUA GOODMAN) 美联社

夏洛特 —— 没有人能忽视他在场外的社区工作 —— 资助大学奖学金基金、组织感恩节食物捐赠、圣诞节礼品发放 —— 这些让卡罗来纳黑豹队的托马斯·戴维斯成为了这座城市以及整个 NFL 中真正的正派人物之一。

但真正让戴维斯在北卡罗来纳州成为

前黑豹队线卫，在克服三次 ACL 撕裂后，与阿片类药物成瘾作斗争

偶像的是他的坚韧。这位线卫在同一只膝盖的三次 ACL 撕裂后完成了历史性的回归 —— 且每次回归后状态似乎更好 —— 并在手臂刚骨折的情况下依然披挂上阵参加了第 50 届超级碗，一个传奇就此诞生。

事实证明，所有这些从痛苦中走出的回归都付出了代价，并导向了一个更深层且更令人不安的故事：随着职业生涯接近尾声，戴维斯对阿片类药物产生了依赖，他将这种成瘾归咎于他与妻子凯莉不体面的分手，以及他曾经纯洁名声的受损。

对于联队而言，进步难以衡量

韦勒表示，华盛顿特区联队已有很大改善，但“仍在挣扎”

作者：贝莉·约翰逊 (BAILEY JOHNSON)

不可否认的是，华盛顿特区联队在 2026 年有所进步。

去年，该俱乐部在 30 支 MLS 球队中排名垫底，战绩为 5-18-11，仅获得 26 分。今年，联队在前 21 场比赛中获得了 24 分。毫无疑问，在还剩 13 场比赛的情况下，特区联队最终获得的分数将高于上赛季。

但同样不可否认的是，尽管有所进步，联队与真正的季后赛竞争者之间仍存在巨大差距。MLS 的季后赛赛制经常变动，但即使联盟在不断扩大参赛名额，联队自 2019. 以来就未能获得资格。今年，该队与东部联盟第九个也是最后一个季后赛名额并列，但由于平分决胜规则（胜场数），目前仍处于门外。

“本赛季对我们来说赢球太难了，”教练勒内·韦勒在周六晚上洛杉矶 FC 访问奥迪球场之前表示。联队在过去两场比赛中全部落败，且自 5 月初以来，在过去 10, 场比赛中仅取得一场胜利。

“当然，我们希望获得更好的结果，”韦勒补充道。“也许我们需要更多的时间。也许我们需要更加沉着。我对球队的 详见 B11 版联队报道

来自国民队的惊人一击帮助肯特获得首胜

国民队 9, 马林鱼队 2

美联社

布雷迪·豪斯击出一支三分本垒打，左投手杰克逊·肯特投了七局仅失一分，取得了他的首场大联盟胜场。周五晚上，在国民球场，华盛顿国民队以 9-2 击败迈阿密马林鱼队，这是他们近三周以来首次取得两连胜。

华盛顿队 (64-73) 在第三局两出局后，趁迈阿密先发投手尤里·佩雷斯仅用 14 球就让前三名击球手保送上垒之际，攻下五分。国民队凭借一次暴投得分两分，取得 2-1 的领先，随后豪斯击出了本赛季他的第 10 支本垒打，飞行距离 445 英尺。

国民队在第七局又增加了四分。哈里·福特击出了本赛季他的第三支本垒打，球飞过左中外野墙，使比分变为 6-1。迪伦·克鲁斯击出一支左外野角二垒安打，再次得分两分，并连续第八场比赛上垒。

戴伦·莱尔击出一支三垒安打飞过中外野手头顶，又得一分，这是他本赛季的第六支三垒安打。

华盛顿队打破了在与马林鱼队的系列赛中八场不胜的颓势。在过去对阵迈阿密的七场比赛中，国民队仅得 15 分。

肯特 (1-2) 连续第二次先发面对马林鱼队 (68-67)，职业生涯首次完成了五局投球。他投了 106 球，仅允许三次安打和四次保送。

佩雷斯 (7-10) 在三局中丢了五分自责分。

迈阿密的赫里贝托·埃尔南德斯在本赛季对阵国民队的九场比赛中击出了他的第五支本垒打。马林鱼队在最近四场比赛中输了三场，在争夺国家联盟最后一个外卡名额的竞争中，落后圣迭戈教徒队 (72-63) 四场球。

雪崩队与马卡尔签署创纪录续约合同

凯尔·马卡尔与科罗拉多雪崩队周五达成了一项为期八年、$163.200 万 的续约协议，这将使他成为 NHL 历史上薪酬最高的球员。

该协议条款由其经纪公司 Bartlett Hockey 确认。

马卡尔的续约合同将成为联盟历史上最丰厚的合同，超过了明尼苏达野队前锋基里尔·卡普里佐夫去年 9 月签署的八年、1.36亿美元 续约合同。马卡尔的合同将持续到 2034-35 赛季。

马卡尔的合同年均价值 (AAV) 为 $20.400 万，自 2027-28 赛季起生效，这一数字也超过了圣何塞鲨鱼队的超级巨星麦克林·塞莱布里尼，后者在 7 月下旬签署了一份五年、9400万美元 的续约合同，年均价值为 $18.800 万。

现年 27 岁的马卡尔在刚刚结束的赛季中贡献了 20 个进球和 59 次助攻。在诺里斯奖（授予联盟最佳后卫的奖项）投票中，他仅次于哥伦布蓝夹克队的扎克·韦伦斯基，位列第二。马卡尔职业生涯曾两次获得该奖项。

杰拉德与霍夫兰在巡回赛冠军赛中持平

瑞安·杰拉德表现出色，拿下了五个相对简单的 birdies（小鸟球），并出人意料地在 80 英尺以内的一球进洞再拿一个小鸟，使他以 65 杆（低于标准杆 5 杆）的成绩，在亚特兰大举行的 PGA 巡回赛赛季收官战——巡回赛冠军赛的 36 洞比赛中，与维克多·霍夫兰共同领跑。

霍夫兰在第 15 号半岛果岭洞（一个仅 155 码的 3 杆洞，但球洞位于左侧陡坡附近，容易使球滚离果岭）拿下了五个小鸟球之一。他以 66 杆的成绩，在进入周末比赛前与杰拉德共同处于 130 杆（低于标准杆 10 杆）的领先位置。

紧随其后的是谁？几乎是所有人。

其中包括世界排名第一的斯科蒂·舍夫勒，他以 67 杆成绩落后两杆。还包括卡梅伦·杨，他在第一轮后处于垫底，但在今日以 62 杆的成绩在大部分时间里领跑，最终同样落后两杆。

桑德斯基指控者寻求撤回指控

作者：埃德·怀特（ED WHITE）

一名法官批准举行听证会，以调查一名男子希望撤回此前对时任宾夕法尼亚州立大学助理橄榄球教练杰里·桑德斯基（Jerry Sandusky）性虐待指控的请求。

现年 82, 岁的桑德斯基因在 2012. 年被判定 45 项性虐待罪名成立，一直服刑数十年。当时有八名年轻男子就他们童年时遭受的经历作证。他多次尝试申请重新审理但均告失败，不过桑德斯基的律师正再次尝试。

在法庭文件中被标识为 R.R. 的一名男子表示，他受到了当局的广泛引导。

“我被告知——无论是直接还是间接——创伤可能会使我的记忆碎片化，我可以安全地确认那些我并不完全记得的细节。我被保证这种情况很普遍，甚至是预料之中的，”R.R. 在桑德斯基律师提交的一份宣誓书中说道。

在中心县举行的一场法庭听证会已经

八名指控前宾州州立大学助理教练的证人之一称受到当局引导

已被安排在 9 月 8 日举行。

桑德斯基的律师在提交给法院的文件中表示，R.R. 的指控是“基于暗示性的引导性询问、检察官的胁迫与影响、确认偏差以及记忆操纵，而这些情况在每位指控者身上都普遍存在”。

宾夕法尼亚州总检察长办公室周五表示，R.R. 的撤回陈述“高度可疑”。

桑德斯基曾在名人堂教练乔·帕特诺领导的美国顶尖橄榄球项目中担任防守教练。这起丑闻导致了帕特诺被解雇，且该大学向那些称遭到桑德斯基虐待的人员支付了超过 1 亿美元。

费城天普大学法学院教授朱尔斯·爱泼斯坦表示，即使法官认为撤回陈述有效，桑德斯基也不会自动获得重新审判的机会。他表示，法官需要确定 R.R. 的证词在涉及多项指控和多名受害者的整体案件中占据怎样的地位。

当局表示，桑德斯基在“第二英里”（The Second Mile）——一家由他为高危青少年创办的慈善机构——寻找并诱导男孩。他多次声明自己清白。

庭审记录显示，庭审时 R.R. 为 25 岁。他作证称，1998 年桑德斯基在教练的地下室对其进行口交时，他年仅 11 岁。

“他告诉我，如果我告诉任何人，我就再也见不到我的家人了，”当时处于寄养照顾状态的 R.R. 说道。

R.R. 作证称，桑德斯基后来道歉并说“他爱我”。

阿莫林率领的米兰在欧联杯抽签中对阵英格兰球队

AC米兰及其新任教练鲁本·阿莫林在欧联杯抽签后将面对两支英格兰对手，他们将主场迎战桑德兰，并前往客场挑战伯恩茅斯。

在为期八场比赛的联赛阶段，米兰还将在圣西罗球场主场迎战本菲卡——后者是米兰在1990年欧洲冠军杯决赛中击败的球队。

尤文图斯抽中了两支西班牙对手，分别是皇家社会和塞尔塔，并将前往中立场地对阵以色列的哈포埃尔贝尔谢巴。

上赛季赢得第三级别赛事欧协联冠军的水晶宫，在被欧足联禁止参赛一年后，终于得以参加欧联杯。此前，由于水晶宫与里昂通过美国商人约翰·泰克斯多（John Textor）存在共同所有权关系，其参赛资格被拦截。在泰克斯多与这家法国俱乐部切断联系后，里昂将在本次赛事中主场迎战水晶宫。

拜耳勒沃库森在2024年决赛中失利，此前他们在德国联赛和欧联杯中均保持不败，此次抽签将面对法国球队马赛和里昂。...

在欧协联的焦点战中，阿贾克斯将客场挑战亚特兰大，这次36支球队的抽签将两家上赛季均在欧冠出线的俱乐部配对在一起。

前利物浦球星穆罕默德·萨拉赫也随其新俱乐部特拉布宗体育降级至第三级别赛事，该队将在土耳其主场迎战弗赖堡、米德洛锡安之心和亚布洛内茨。...

随着德甲赛季拉开帷幕，法兰克福从弗赖堡签下了潜力十足的德国门将诺亚·阿图博卢，租期为整个赛季。...

科罗拉多快色球将前锋丹特·西利交易回蒙特利尔足球俱乐部，以换取最高 $1.700 万 的通用分配金。...

温哥华白帽队后卫泰特·约翰逊签署了续约合同，有效期至2029-30赛季美国职业足球大联盟（MLS）。...

拉扬·谢尔基在五分钟内攻入两球，埃尔林·哈兰德同样梅开二度，曼城在伦敦以 4-1 击败水晶宫，延续了在英超联赛赛季的完美开局。

在欧洲其他赛场，拜仁慕尼黑在主场 5-1 大胜斯图加特，以令人印象深刻的表现开启德甲赛季；而法国联赛卫冕冠军巴黎圣日耳曼则在补时阶段需要两粒进球，才在客场 2-2 逼平里尔。

所有目光都集中在中心位置。阿莱格雷蒂仍因小腿拉伤缺阵，而关于他何时能准备好回归的不确定性在球迷群体中引发了诸多焦虑。

目前是古尔宾和古德-琼斯之间的两人竞争，以决定谁将担任其替补。在周三与乌鸦队的联合训练中，古尔宾担任首发中心，而古德-琼斯在右卫位置轮换。这似乎表明古尔宾在竞争中处于领先地位，但两人在那次训练中的表现都不理想。

季前赛决赛为有人脱颖而出提供了另一个机会，古尔宾获得了首发机会。最终，我决定给这位新秀机会。但我仍然预计总经理亚当·彼得斯会尝试通过弃权名单（waiver wire）增加人手。

在四分卫位置上，卡利亚克马尼斯成功入选阵容。他展现出了进步，而且将其交给弃权名单可能风险太大。指挥官队希望马里奥塔能在第1周前从内侧副韧带（MCL）扭伤中恢复，但这不能保证。如果他无法出战，周五传球13次命中7次、获得45码的卡利亚克马尼斯将担任替补。

宽接手是另一个让我犹豫不决的位置，但我将选择布朗。他在训练营收尾阶段的表现更好，且能为该位置提供更多经验。

角卫 (5)

首发：特雷·阿莫斯、阿米克·罗伯逊、迈克·塞恩里斯蒂尔

替补：拉苏尔·道格拉斯、安东尼奥·汉密尔顿二世

安全卫 (5)

裁掉：法比安·莫罗、达里乌斯·鲁什、弗雷德·戴维斯二世、卡林·维格斯

首发：尼克·克罗斯、杰里米·里夫斯

替补：宽·马丁、泰勒·欧文斯、珀西·巴特勒

裁掉：约书亚·布莱索、昆德尔·约翰逊、夸特雷兹·奈特

怀斯仍在为去年9月遭受的股四头肌撕裂进行康复治疗，他似乎不太可能在赛季开始前从 PUP（伤病预备）名单中回归。如果在阵容裁减日他仍在该名单上，他将至少缺席前 4 场比赛。

“他最近的一次评估结果不错。他确实在接近回归，但他们还没有给我们具体的时间表，”奎因周一表示。“他看起来状态很好。我对他的努力感到满意。对他来说，这是一个漫长的康复过程。这是一次严重的受伤。看到他走出了困境，知道隧道尽头的光就在附近，这令人兴奋。”

由于阿姆斯特朗也将因违反 NFL 个人行为准则而被禁赛而缺席 Week 1 比赛，在 Sept. 13. 对阵费城老鹰队的比赛中，防守端锋组的人手将非常紧张。这可能会导致约瑟夫斯和让-巴蒂斯特等球员获得更多的出场时间。

特勤组 (3)

踢球手：德鲁·史蒂文斯 弃踢手：特雷斯·韦伊 长传扣球手：泰勒·奥特

关于谁能进入最终名单，这里没有悬念，但观察史蒂文斯（他在周五的一次 39 码踢球成功，一次 62 码踢球失败）在赛季初的表现将会很有趣。如果这位新秀表现挣扎，指挥官队可能需要寻求外部援助。

来自新闻服务机构

托尼·罗莫因上个月被捕而面临另外三项指控，此前该事件导致他被暂停担任 CBS 的 NFL 首席分析师职务。

罗莫被捕后面临三项新指控

罗莫于 July 23 in Wisconsin 被捕，涉嫌酒后驾驶。

针对这位前达拉斯牛仔队四分卫的案件在周四进行了修正，增加了在机动车内持有开启的酒精饮料、右侧不安全超车以及首次酒后驾驶的指控。此前，他已经收到了一项因被捕后拒绝接受酒精检测而产生的指控。

CBS 体育总裁大卫·伯森本月早些时候表示，他还没有关于罗莫未来的决定时间表。

罗莫, 46, 自 2017 年起一直担任该网络 NFL 报道的首席比赛分析师。在他的球员生涯（2004-16 年，全部在达拉斯队度过）中，他曾四次入选职业碗（Pro Bowl）。

在罗莫缺席期间，分析师 JJ 瓦特将加入 CBS 体育的 NFL 首席团队，与现场播报员吉姆·南茨和场边记者特雷西·沃尔夫森合作。他们的第一场比赛将于 Sept. 13, 进行，届时明尼苏达维京人队将主场迎战格林贝包装工队。

本周早些时候公布的执法记录仪画面显示，罗莫告诉副警长，他当时正从高尔夫球场回来，在被拦截时正准备“去看望爷爷奶奶”。一名副警长告诉罗莫，他怀疑其处于受损状态，因为他“眼睛发红且无神”，并且带有“酒精饮料的气味”。

密尔沃基县警长办公室公布的指控单显示，在罗莫的黑色吉普车被拖走前的清点过程中，在乘客侧发现了一瓶开启的酒精饮料。

罗莫是在沿 Interstate 43. 向南行驶时被拦截并逮捕的。根据密尔沃基县警长办公室的说法，罗莫在现场酒精 sobriety 测试中表现糟糕，随后被逮捕、登记并释放。

成瘾是戴维斯坚韧人生故事的一部分

接 B7 页关于戴维斯的报道

一位自封为治疗师的人将戴维斯列入其数十名知名职业运动员客户之列，这些客户都对其缓解疼痛的奇迹深信不疑。

“我一直以一种希望孩子们永远能为我感到自豪的方式生活，”四个孩子的父亲戴维斯在最近的一期《The Pivot》播客节目中说道，他在节目中首次公开讨论了自己的药物问题。“这对我很重要。但发生的一些事情，让他们很难再为我后来变成的那个人感到自豪。”

戴维斯没有回应美联社（AP）的多次电话和短信，当美联社记者走访他在北卡罗来纳州的住所时，也没有人开门。美联社还通过其代表寻求评论。

坚实的存在

戴维斯职业生涯的巅峰可能是 2014 年——在那一季，他被授予 NFL 的沃尔特·佩顿年度人物奖。该奖项包含一座奖杯和一枚球员在余下职业生涯中需佩戴在球衣上的徽章，旨在表彰获奖者的“社区服务、慈善工作以及在赛场上的出色表现”。

他的赛场表现确实非常出色。

作为乔治亚大学的一名全美大学最佳球员，如果戴维斯是在一个更大的市场球队效力，或者不必与卢克·库奇利（Luke Kuechly）分享光芒，他可能会获得三次以上的 NFL 职业碗（Pro Bowls）投票，并被多次选入全美最佳阵容。库奇利是一位线卫，在本月早些时候入选了职业橄榄球名人堂，并在入选演说中提到了他的好哥们戴维斯。

前卡罗来纳线卫托马斯·戴维斯克服了右膝三次前十字韧带（ACL）撕裂，并在上图中手臂骨折的情况下参加了 Super Bowl 50。 CARY EDMONDSON / USA TODAY SPORTS

“在开始我的球员生涯时，我无法要求一个比托马斯更好的伙伴在身边了，”库奇利说。“他教会了我关于努力、坚韧、竞争心，以及最重要的一点，即全身心投入到橄榄球运动中。”

但在戴维斯度过其 16 个 NFL 赛季中前 14 个赛季的那个城市，他从未缺乏赞誉。

在第三次膝盖手术后的九年里，他继续参赛。他所有最好的赛季都出现在这段时期。

在赛场之外，他是慈善活动的常客，其中许多活动由他赞助。戴维斯、他的妻子和孩子们描绘了一个与这座新兴南方大都市心跳紧密相连的家庭形象。这座城市位于 NASCAR 赛车之乡，像许多城市一样，将体育明星奉为偶像。

这一切都契合戴维斯更广泛的人生故事。

他在谢尔曼（Shellman）一个单亲家庭长大，那是乔治亚州西南部的一个农村农业小镇。当戴维斯读 11 年级时，他的母亲为了获得更高薪水的工作以支付账单，搬到了 40 英里外的阿拉巴马州尤法拉（Eufala）。

戴维斯留了下来，搬到一位年长的表亲家中，以便能继续在附近卡斯伯特（Cuthbert）的兰多夫-克莱高中（Randolph-Clay High）打球。他说，在那里他通过橄榄球场确立了自己的地位，成为了“那个男人”。

笔记

“在那一刻，我母亲允许我说：‘嘿，我正在建立自己的地位，’”戴维斯说。“我有一个目标。她信任我，相信我会做出正确的决定。”

一个关于回归的故事

十多年来，他确实做到了。在经历多次膝盖手术后重返赛场——据信他是 NFL 中唯一一名在同一侧前十字韧带（ACL）撕裂三次后仍能继续比赛的球员——这使他在北卡罗来纳州成为了一个传奇人物。

“我不想成为那种象征性的、像吉祥物一样的 ACL 康复案例，”戴维斯说。“我想成为那个回归并向每家 NFL 俱乐部证明，当球员面临伤病时，你们不必放弃他们的人。”

他获得的一线全明星荣誉（2015年）、三次入选职业碗（2015-17年）以及那次传奇般的超级碗之旅（2016年），全部是在膝盖手术之后实现的。

“这家伙经历了很多，他是我们球队的核心和灵魂，”队友德万·爱德华兹在卡罗来纳队在超级碗 50 中以 24-10 输给丹佛野马队之前说道。“他是我们的精神领袖，是我们场上的关键球员。”

这个童话般故事的第一个裂痕出现在 2018 年，当时戴维斯因违反 NFL 的性能增强药物政策被禁赛四场，原因是他在检测中对一种禁用的雌激素阻断剂呈阳性，此类药物可用于掩盖类固醇的使用。他表示自己没有作弊，一直使用与以往相同的补充剂，但并未对禁令提出申诉。

戴维斯说，这次禁赛让他重新思考自己的退役计划。他在 2019 年效力于洛杉矶闪电队，2020 年效力于华盛顿足球队。那一年，华盛顿队的首席训练师被发现非法向球员分发羟考酮——这令人不安地提醒人们，NFL 在止痛药方面有着一段沉重的历史。

陨落

联盟花费了近 10 年时间来应对一项指控其球队过度开具阿片类药物及其他止痛药处方的诉讼。该诉讼最终在 2023 年被驳回，法官称原因是该诉讼的性质过于宽泛。

在那段期间披露的发现之一是一项针对前球员的研究，其中 52% 的人表示他们在职业生涯期间使用过处方阿片类药物。

NFL 球员协会不愿就此报道发表评论。该联盟在诉讼之后加强了对处方药的监控，并表示并不知晓鲁宾格（Rubinger）的情况。联盟引用了一项 2021-22 年的研究，显示仅有 10% 的球员接受了阿片类药物的处方。

2022 年，在凯莉·戴维斯（Kelly Davis）指控“疼痛医生”鲁宾格助长其丈夫的阿片类药物成瘾后，美国缉毒局（DEA）展开了调查。当局表示，从 2019 年 11 月到 2024 年 3 月，戴维斯收到了超过 13,000 粒羟 {oxycodone} 和 Percocet 药片。

“她利用这些人的痛苦，”凯莉·戴维斯告诉美联社（AP）。“他们有钱，有伤病，还有心理健康问题。”

戴维斯的成瘾为这对夫妇的分居、最终的离婚，以及当凯莉·戴维斯因袭击一名她认为与其丈夫有染的女性而在 2025 年被捕的消息传出时引发的小规模丑闻，提供了不同的视角。

如今，戴维斯依然经常出现在黑豹队的设施周围，那里依然保留着他为球队和社区所做的所有贡献的记忆。

但他也承认，他那令人震惊的陨落让他变得谦卑。戴维斯表示，他已经得到了所需的帮助，现在的重点是努力改善与孩子们的关系——其中一人，小托马斯·戴维斯（Thomas Davis Jr.），是圣母大学的一名大一外线卫。老戴维斯说，除了他自己，他不责怪任何人，但他深知药物带来的代价。

“我对生活中发生的一切每一个组成部分承担全部责任，”他说。“但归根结底，我知道发生了一些因素，最终将我带到了一个我未曾预料到的境地。”

史蒂夫·里德（Steve Reed）对本报道亦有贡献。

“托尼对自己的行为承担全部责任，并已采取积极措施确保这一孤立的民事事项得到妥善解决，”一名罗莫（Romo）的发言人在给《密尔沃基哨兵报》和 TMZ 的一份声明中表示。“我们正与当地当局合作以结案，并与 CBS 就后续步骤进行沟通。”

• 喷气机队（JETS）：新秀跑卫奇普·特拉亚努姆（Chip Trayanum）在对阵纽约巨人的上半场最后一次进攻被擒抱后，因颈部受伤住院。

喷气机队宣布，这位来自托莱多（Toledo）的非选秀新秀特拉亚努姆目前意识清醒，且四肢均有活动能力。

喷气机队在半场结束前 10 秒获得球权，他们没有让凯德·克鲁布尼克（Cade Klubnik）单膝跪地结束比赛，而是选择执行一次进攻。特拉亚努姆从克鲁布尼克手中接过球，随即被特雷斯·福特（Trace Ford）击中。

当训练员和医生跑出来检查他时，特拉亚努姆一直趴在场上。喷气机队的球员和教练留在场上——许多人跪在地上祈祷——直到特拉亚努姆得到救治。

几分钟后，特拉亚努姆似乎被戴上了颈托，固定在背板上，被抬上推车并被推离球场。在被推入室内时，这位跑卫似乎在活动双手。

• 泰坦队（TITANS）：据 NFL Network 报道，外接手万代尔·罗宾逊（Wan'Dale Robinson）在周四与芝加哥熊队的联合训练中被认为并未遭受脑震荡。

在遭到芝加哥安全卫泽维尔·伍兹（Xavier Woods）的一次头对头撞击后，罗宾逊接受了检查，田纳西队教练罗伯特·萨莱（Robert Saleh）将这次撞击定性为“卑劣”。

泰坦队将继续检查罗宾逊是否出现潜在的脑震荡症状，但据报道，“初步迹象是积极的”。在这次撞击发生后，球场上爆发了冲突，两支球队不得不被分开，而他是在自己的力量驱动下走回更衣室的。

坂本击败偶像，夺得正赛席位

作者：BRIAN MAHONEY

纽约 —— 礼之坂本通过比赛闯入了美国公开赛 —— 但他夺走的是锦织启希望获得的席位。锦织启作为日本最伟大的男子网球球星，希望借此机会最后一次亮相大满贯赛事。

在这场象征着“新老交替”的比赛中，坂本在周五的资格赛最后一轮中以 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) 击败锦织启，赢得了正赛名额。

“今天输球并不开心，但我为礼感到高兴，”锦织启说，“他是日本下一位顶尖球员。”

20 岁的坂本和许多其他日本球员一样，将锦织启视为自己的英雄。他 8 岁时就记得锦织启打入 2014 年美国公开赛决赛的情景，锦织启由此成为首位在大满贯赛事中走得如此远的亚洲男子。

“说实话，我是在看着他打球长大的，他是我一辈子的偶像，”坂本说，“看到他的最后一个赛季也令人感到遗憾。”

像许多网球运动员一样，坂本不喜欢提前查看抽签结果以确认可能的对手。但这一次，他忍不住想知道。

“就在抽签结果出来的第二秒，我妈妈给我发短信说：‘嘿，我希望你能打进决赛并对阵锦织启，’”坂本说，“所以这次我被我妈妈剧透了。”

36 岁的锦织启近年来一直与伤病作斗争，并表示这将是他的最后一个赛季。由于排名不再足够高而无法保证正赛席位，他获得了美国网球协会（USTA）发放的资格赛外卡。

他赢了两场比赛，但还需要再赢一场才能锁定席位。在第二盘末段，现场观众高喊着他的名字，但锦织启在场上被坂本压制。坂本轰出了 19 个 ace 球，在锦织启挽救了两个赛点后，最后一个 ace 球终结了比赛。

赛后，美国公开赛官员向锦织启赠送了一幅他比赛时的装裱肖像画。坂本帮他一起举起画作合影。

这对坂本来说是一个重大时刻，但也是一个苦乐参半的时刻。

“我认为很多人 —— 就像大多数人一样 —— 依然因为他而关注网球，”坂本说，“所以他是一位超级巨星，他为日本网球贡献良多。”

由于下雨，资格赛最后一轮被推迟到周五。2024 年奥运会单打金牌得主郑钦文在三盘大战中获胜，成功晋级正赛；而曾在 2019 年美国公开赛决赛中击败塞雷娜·威廉姆斯（Serena Williams）但此后一直饱受健康困扰的比安卡·安德烈斯库（Bianca Andreescu）则在领先的情况下被反超，三盘落败。

格里戈尔·迪米特洛夫（Grigor Dimitrov）在周四凭借对手退赛晋级。他曾在 2019 年美国公开赛中击败罗杰·费德勒（Roger Federer）进入半决赛，而那场比赛后来成为了费德勒在法拉盛公园的最后一场比赛。

这些比赛都没有锦织启的比赛那样具有深意。锦织启曾排名世界第 4，并在 2016 年和 2018 年重返美国公开赛半决赛，但各种伤病使他长期远离赛场，他决定在今年的日本公开赛后停止比赛。

“我认为如果他没有那么多伤病，他的职业生涯将会是最顶尖的之一，也许能达到 [安迪] 穆雷（Andy Murray）或斯坦·瓦夫林卡（Stan Wawrinka）的水平，因为他受伤很多次，尤其是在他的巅峰期，”1 号种子亚历山大·兹维列夫（Alexander Zverev）说，“一旦他升到世界第 4 或第 5，每次都会受伤。所以我觉得在这一方面他有点不幸，但从网球角度来看，他非常出色。”

在入选名人堂前夕，费德勒反思其职业生涯遗产

罗杰·费德勒认为，他在巡回赛期间建立的人际关系是他网球遗产中至关重要的一部分。 BRIAN SNYDER / 路透社

作者：BRIAN MAHONEY

纽约——罗杰·费德勒当然热爱胜利，且在职业生涯的巅峰时期，他几乎总是能赢得胜利。

仅凭那些积累的胜利和奖杯，就足以让费德勒在网球界被永远铭记，但这仅仅是他享受比赛的部分原因。他喜欢前往各地的赛事，结识人们并结交新朋友，无论对方是在球网的另一端，还是坐在观众席上。

直到结束竞技生涯后，费德勒才意识到这对他在该项运动中的遗产产生了多么深远的影响。

“我想在退役时，我想我之前说过，人们在讨论关于我的性格，以及当我不在球场上时，我给这项运动整体带来了什么，这让我有点惊讶，”费德勒说。“我原以为在那个时刻，人们关注的是正手、反手、挽救破发点、胜利以及所有这些东西。”

“但实际上，这最终变得并非无关紧要，而是关于人们如何记住你，你在更衣室、走廊里，或者与媒体、赛事主管、球童相处时表现如何。”

本周六，当费德勒在罗德岛州纽波特入选国际网球名人堂时，他将有机会回顾这一切。

这位来自瑞士的 45 岁球员将与播报员及前球员玛丽·卡里洛（Mary Carillo）一同获得表彰，他表示这将是他第一次前往纽波特。考虑到他因为网球而见识过如此多的地方，这似乎令人惊讶。

当然，为了参加大满贯赛事，他经常光顾纽约、伦敦和巴黎等城市，但也有像南非开普敦这样的城市，在那里他与拉斐尔·纳达尔进行的一场表演赛吸引了近 52,000 名球迷；或者墨西哥城，在那里他与亚历山大·兹维列夫的一场比赛吸引了超过 42,000 人。

这些发生在职业生涯末期，当时费德勒因健康原因不得不限制赛程。他讨厌这样做，因为他喜欢去很多地方，即使是那些没有举办顶级赛事的城市。

“对我来说，回顾过去，这正是我感到非常高兴的地方，我在巡回赛中度过了 25 年，实际上觉得结交了很多朋友，很多人想念我，”费德勒说。“粉丝们也是一样。他们走过来对我说：‘你不再打球真是太遗憾了。’”

“然后我会产生一种闪回，意识到那是一段美妙的时光，而且我每次都会这么说。我热爱它，遗憾我不能再参加巡回赛了。但那是一段非常、非常美好的时光，我深切地想念它。”

球迷们显然很想念费德勒。当他本周回到美国公开赛参加表演赛——这是他自 2019 年以来首次在法拉盛草地公园比赛时——等待进入亚瑟·阿什体育场的球迷长队，看起来就像是赛事第二周的某个夜晚。

费德勒在 2004-08 年间连续赢得了五次美国公开赛冠军，在 2004-06 年期间他取得了 247-15 的战绩，并在 2005-07 年期间创纪录地连续进入 10 场大满贯决赛，并赢得了八场。他随后赢得了 1,251 场比赛和 103 个冠军，其中包括 20 个大满贯冠军。

“他是我遇到过的最强的对手，”安德烈·阿加西在一段视频中说道，该视频由美国公开赛在费德勒周二登场前播放，阿加西是费德勒在 2005 年决赛中的对手。

他获胜的方式比过去一些刻板的冠军更有灵气，又不像其他人那样情绪失控，这为他赢得了仅凭技术无法获得的赞誉。他从 2004-09 年每年都获得 ATP 巡回赛的体育精神奖，并在 2011-17 年再次获得，且在 2003-21 年间每年都获得球迷最喜爱奖。与此同时，他赢得了近 $130.600 万 的奖金。

费德勒有时会和孩子们一起击球——他和妻子米尔卡育有两对双胞胎——并且尝试每年参加几次活动，以保持与这项运动的联系。

“我现在处于一个非常舒适的状态，但我仍然很高兴能偶尔出现在那里，身处网球世界之中，因为直到今天，它依然是我周围一切事物的纽带，”费德勒说道。

“我度过了最美好的时光，在巡回赛中结交了很多朋友，从球员到组织者等等。所以我希望许多退役的球员对这项运动也能有同样的感受，因为我深爱着它。”

尽管有进步迹象，华盛顿联队仍处于“挣扎”状态

UNITED FROM B7

表现，但与其他球队之间仍有差距。我知道我们今天能做什么，不能做什么。但那是我们想要迈出的下一步。我们希望将势均力敌的比赛转化为更好的结果。”

目前排名西部联盟第三的洛杉矶 FC（LAFC）仅到访过华盛顿一次——那是 2019 年 4 月一场 4-0 大胜华盛顿联队的比赛。

这将是联队在 LAFC 签下韩国前锋孙兴慜后的首场对决。孙兴慜在去年夏天加盟美国职业足球大联盟（MLS）之前，曾效力于英超俱乐部托特纳姆热刺。

“当然，我们比上赛季强多了，但我们仍然在挣扎，”韦勒说道。“我们必须在极限状态下比赛。每个人都必须在极限状态下比赛。我们需要顶级的表现。如果全队阵容齐整，对我们来说会更好。”

“现在，我们再次缺失了一些首发球员，当然，这对我们的球队产生了影响。”

由于后卫凯·罗尔斯（Kye Rowles）和前锋若昂·佩格洛（João Peglow）均因大腿受伤而无法确定能否面对 LAFC，韦勒指出，此类缺阵会对决定胜负的“微妙界限”产生影响。

“不幸的是，目前我们距离失败比距离胜利更近，”韦勒说。“这是一个我们必须接受的事实，当然，我们正努力改变它。原因？有很多原因。我们犯了太多的错误。……我们找不到正确的决定。我们的效率不够高。在下一场比赛中，我们希望在这些方面做得更好。”

自 2025. 年 7 月接任教练以来，韦勒一直致力于扭转联队的局面。几项休赛期的引援在今年得到了回报：前锋泰·巴里博（Tai Baribo）打入了队内领先的 12 个进球，另一名前锋路易斯·蒙特亚努（Louis Munteanu）贡献了 6 个进球，右后卫西尔万·赫夫蒂（Silvan Hefti）以 4 次助攻并列队内第一。

韦勒总是迅速意识到联队需要更多高质量球员，他在周四表示，他对目前的进步感到满意，但也敏锐地意识到球队仍有很长的路要走。

夏季转会窗口仍然开启，不过韦勒承认，联队在周三窗口关闭前不太可能完成进一步的交易。

“与此同时，让球员每天进步是我们的工作，也是我的工作，”韦勒说。“我认为当最好的球员在场上，当我们处于全员状态时，对手很难击败我们，我们也非常接近赢得比赛。”

“最终，质量决定一切。我们必须通过转会将其引入球队，而我必须尝试挖掘出目前球队中所有潜能的更多部分。”

MINAS PANAGIOTAKIS / GETTY IMAGES 泰·巴里博（右）和华盛顿联队在还剩 13 场比赛的情况下，正处于进入季后赛的边缘，但本赛季很难赢得比赛。

周五，在里士满的国会广场被移除后，将军“石墙”杰克逊、州长威廉·“额外比利”·史密斯和医生亨特·霍姆斯·麦奎尔的雕像被装上一辆卡车。

弗吉尼亚州国会大厦剩余的邦联雕像被移除

该运动在2020, 杰斐逊·戴维斯纪念碑被推倒时达到顶峰，现已完成；双方均持有强烈的观点

作者：本·科纳克 (BEN CONARCK)

在里士满的抗议者在全国民权示威活动中推倒杰斐逊·戴维斯的标志性雕像六年多之后，工作人员悄悄地将市中心剩余的三座邦联纪念碑从基座上移除。

这些过去邦联英雄——将军托马斯·J. “石墙”杰克逊、州长威廉·“额外比利”·史密斯和医生亨特·霍姆斯·麦奎尔——雕像的移除，代表了民主党立法者的努力之顶峰，他们试图清除国会大厦 grounds 中那些被他们视为是对痛苦过去令人尴尬的致敬之物。

尽管周五的行动与2020年戴维斯雕像被推倒时相比较为平静，但其象征意义足以吸引当地电视台的摄像组，他们对这些画面进行了现场直播。

在电视上观看这一幕的人之一，正是对此负责的人员之一，前弗吉尼亚州参议员亚当·埃宾 (Adam Ebbin, D)，他于今年早些时候离职。

今年1月，埃宾提出了一项移除雕像的法案。该措施被纳入弗吉尼亚州的预算修正案中，并在他离职后的6月获得通过。

尽管邦联纪念碑可以追溯到19世纪末和20世纪初，但埃宾指出，在过去的几十年里，国会大厦 grounds 进行了多次升级。

这座建筑本身在2000年代经历了历史性修复和地下扩建，在随后的几年里，又增加了旨在纪念民权运动、牺牲警察和女性的纪念碑。

“有一句话说，离开营地时要让它比你刚来时更好，”埃宾说。“我认为这为讨论我们应该看到哪些其他弗吉尼亚人的雕像留出了空间，详见 B14

俄亥俄州一名女子因破坏二战纪念碑事件被起诉

作者：LIAM SCOTT

一名联邦大陪审团已起诉一名女子，该女子本月拍摄了自己向华盛顿二战纪念碑的喷泉中倾倒肥皂并向其花岗岩喷漆的视频。

41 岁的梅丽莎·法里斯（Melissa Farris）被指控破坏退伍军人纪念碑和破坏政府财产，这两项均为重罪，均与 8 月 13 日在国家广场发生的事件有关。

法里斯在社交媒体上直播了自己将泡沫填满大西洋拱门下方喷泉的过程。现场照片显示，拱门下方用红色写着“Clean hands dirty $”（干净的手，肮脏的钱）的消息，周围的石工建筑上还溅有红色和绿色的油漆。

法里斯在次日被逮捕，一名法官上周命令她返回居住地俄亥俄州。她的下一次法庭听证会定于下周四在由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命的美国地方法院法官特雷弗·N·麦克法登（Trevor N. McFadden）面前举行。大陪审团于周四起诉了法里斯。

华盛顿特区美国检察官珍妮妮·皮罗（Jeanine Pirro）在周五的一份声明中表示，这座纪念碑是对数百万在二战期间服役的美国人的致敬，其中包括数十万名牺牲者。

“毁坏它是对他们的服役和牺牲的侮辱，”她说。“我们将利用联邦法律下所有可用的工具，确保这种行为得到公正的对待。”

法里斯及其代表她的公设辩护人没有立即回应置评请求。

两项重罪指控的最高刑期均为 10 年。法院记录显示，纪念碑的损失超过了 $1,000。该事件引发了特朗普、内政部以及多位立法者的谴责。

“对于那些在二战中牺牲的美国英雄来说，没有比这更大的侮辱了，”特朗普在破坏事件发生次日的 Truth Social 帖子中写道。“先是反思池，现在又是这个。我们正在追踪他们！这些畜生是从哪里来的？？？”

在纪念碑发生这起事件之前，白宫曾指责破坏者损坏了附近的林肯纪念堂反思池。皮罗最终撤销了对四人的指控，司法部表示，信息显示“损害是由于安装失误造成的，而非最初所陈述的破坏行为”。

在接受《华盛顿邮报》的独家采访时，法里斯承认破坏了纪念碑，并表示她试图引起人们关注她认为的前雇主（位于肯塔基州）扣押医疗保健资金的问题。（该雇主和两个工会分支机构尚未回应置评请求。）

“我决定我要大声尖叫，直到整个国家都能听到我，”她说。

法里斯表示，尽管她因破坏行为而受到批评和死亡威胁，但她认为自己是一名爱国者。

“蓝领建设了美国，”她说。“我们维护美国。我们支付维护美国的费用，但我们却无法触及其中的任何部分。我们被困在狭小的范围内，每天艰苦奋斗，但无论我们多么努力，永远都不够。”

尽管没有重建计划，工作人员已将东波托马克高尔夫球场的树木砍伐。

海恩斯角已成为“砍伐角”：特朗普的公共高尔夫球场翻新计划尚不确定，但树木正在倒下

作者：里克·马斯 (RICK MAESE)

在东波托马克高尔夫球场（East Potomac Golf Links）上，高尔夫球手们正抓紧时间进行夏末的击球，并好奇这座深受华盛顿特区喜爱的高尔夫球场将何去何从。而新砍下的树桩和裸露的泥地，则标记着近期数十棵树曾生长的地方。

特朗普政府承诺的球场翻新工程尚未正式启动。然而，树木在过去几周内一直在被砍伐。

唐纳德·特朗普总统在 6 月 28 日表示，这座历史悠久的公共高尔夫设施的工程将于 9 月 1 日开始，但在该日期到来前的几天里，其政府尚未公布最终设计方案、施工进度表或预估成本。

官员们尚未说明该球场下周是否会关闭，可能会开始什么样的工程，以及高尔夫球手和其他国家公园访客应该期待什么。

周四的一次非正式统计发现，最近几周似乎有 60 多棵树被移除。其中许多位于周边和公园——详见 B14 页的树木情况

里士满最后三座邦联人物雕像被拆除

可能想要包含在内。”

弗吉尼亚州通用服务部的一位发言人在一份声明中表示，工作人员已根据今年通过的预算项目拆除了这些纪念碑。根据该声明，杰克逊雕像揭幕于 1875 年，史密斯雕像揭幕于 1906 年，麦奎尔雕像揭幕于 1904 年。

该部门表示，这些雕像已由该州赠予谢南多厄谷战场基金会，该基金会将决定它们的迁移地点及未来的公开展示方式。

该基金会在一份声明中表示，将与州和地方合作伙伴协作，以“确保这些重要的户外艺术作品得到长期保存”。

基金会首席执行官凯文·沃克（Keven Walker）表示，基金会的使命源于这样一种信念：“我们共同的历史可以团结我国人民；在过去的斗争中，可以为我们当下的时代找到力量和灵感。”

“保存更多是为了未来而非过去，确保国会广场纪念碑的保存正是这一清晰愿景的一部分，”沃克说道。

里士满因努力面对其奴隶制和内战遗产而引起了国际关注。

在戴维斯雕像被推倒约一个月后，工作人员使用电动工具和大量气泡膜，将罗伯特·E·李的等身雕像以及七位邦联同事的胸像从弗吉尼亚州议会大厦中移出。

一些标志性人物在博物馆中被重新解读。另一些则被隐藏在仓库中。

但在最初的那阵活动之后，国会大厦 grounds 上的三座雕像依然矗立多年，成为了邦联遗产如何深深交织在里士满景观中的象征。

这个问题在 2022 年再次升级，当时时任州长格伦·杨金（Glenn Youngkin，共和党）任命了一位曾为这些雕像辩护的历史学家进入弗吉尼亚州历史资源委员会，这引发了人们对其是否意图重启关于这些雕像在里士中的地位之争的质疑。

但那场争论并未真正爆发。

在立法机构任职 22 年后，在准备加入州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格（Abigail Spanberger，民主党）的政府之际，埃宾（Ebbin）提出了拆除这最后三座雕像的法案。

这些雕像分别是：

杰克逊，弗吉尼亚军事学院的前任教员，后来成为李的最高将领，但在战争期间的一次误击事故中去世。尽管其军事才能被推崇，但杰克逊终其一生都是奴隶制的捍卫者。

史密斯，曾在 19 世纪 40 年代以及内战结束时担任州长。他同时也是一名拥有奴隶的邦联将军。

麦奎尔是一名邦联士兵，也是南方军队的医生，在上述误击事件后为杰克逊截肢。麦奎尔在 20 世纪之交去世，他一生都支持奴隶制。

周五，埃宾回应了对其努力的批评者，后者称拆除雕像等同于“抹除历史”。

“我们不是在抹除历史，”他说，“这只是关于我们选择把谁放在头版的问题。”

弗吉尼亚州立法黑人党团负责人、州参议员拉蒙特·巴格比（Lamont Bagby，民主党-亨里科）表示，该团体在 2020 年由乔治·弗洛伊德被谋杀引发的抗议活动之前，就已经确定了国会大厦 grounds 上的这些雕像。他表示，政治权力的转移，即杨金的当选和共和党对众议院的控制，使这些努力被推迟了数年。

巴格比回顾了那些帮助建造州议会大厦及该区域许多其他建筑，且必须在经过这些雕像时走过去的弗吉尼亚黑人们。

“这是一个关于仇恨的提醒，”巴格比说。“我并不是说那些雕像没有安置之所，但那个地方绝对不应该是像弗吉尼亚州议会广场这样享有盛誉的地方。”

巴格比表示，他和其他黑人州议员将继续研究纠正过去种族主义行为的方法，例如黑人家庭被强迫将房屋出售给大学的情况，以及某些医疗机构驱逐黑人社区的情况。他表示，他们还在研究为历史悠久的黑人大学提供资金的问题。

“这不仅仅是关于拆除纪念碑，”巴格比说。“还关于建设基础设施，以创造一个公平的竞争环境。”

其中最显眼的是蓝色球场第 14 号果岭附近的一棵樱花树，这里是东波托马克公园最风景优美的球洞之一，由海恩斯角（Hains Point）南端附近的樱花树环绕。在附近，第 4 号球洞周围的两棵大型悬铃木也被移除了。

在大型高尔夫球场翻新中，移除树木很常见，通常是为了拓宽比赛走廊、改善视线，并让更多阳光和空气接触到草坪。但内政部将此次活动定性为常规维护，并未将其与拟议的重新设计联系起来，也没有回答关于是否已向监督该政府计划法律挑战的联邦法院提供工作通知的问题。

“树艺师正在东波托马克公园进行常规维护，选择性地移除危险树木、非本土入侵树木，以及无论采取何种干预措施都无法恢复健康的衰败和枯死树木，”一名部门发言人在一份声明中表示。“公园内的树木会定期监测其对游客的潜在安全影响，当一棵树被判定为枯死、衰败或危险时，我们的树艺师可能会决定将其移除。”

在由寻求阻止球场改造的保护主义者发起的诉讼 5 月听证会上，美国地方法院法官安娜·C·雷耶斯（Ana C. Reyes）拒绝阻止政府进行必要的维护，但警告政府律师不要向法院提交既成事实。她表示，在政府移除超过 10 棵树或将比轿车更大的设备带入该场地之前，她希望获得提前通知。

该指示是以口头形式下达的，并未包含在正式的书面命令中。一名熟悉法律程序的人士在担心遭到报复而要求匿名的条件下表示，政府尚未就最近的树木工程通知原告或法院。

周五发布的一份共同法院文件增加了围绕特朗普拟议的 9 月 1 日启动日期的不确定性。

此前曾要求法院驳回该诉讼的司法部写道，“尚未发生最终的机构行动”，并且在球场重新设计之前将会有“多个面向公众的步骤”。

然而，原告强调了这一立场与政府公布的时间表之间的紧张关系。他们引用了一名政府律师在 7 月听证会上告诉法院的话，称内政部和公园管理局正“试图达成” 9 月的施工日期。

与此同时，原告指出，政府曾表示在动工之前，公园管理局将完成环境和历史保护审查，确定工程不会损害公园资源，并获得国家首都规划委员会（NCPC）的批准。

他们引用了一封 8 月 6 日的电子邮件，其中一名司法部律师表示，公园管理局“在拟议的重新设计施工开始前，必须获得 NCPC 的最终批准”。

国家公园管理局的一名发言人未回应置评请求。

一些必要步骤仍未完成。历史保护审查的初次会议已被两次推迟，且尚未重新安排时间。此外，该高尔夫球场目前不在计划于本周四举行的国家首都规划委员会下次会议的议程上。

马里兰州

随着州政府将成本转移至地方政府，各市难以维持急救技术员资金

作者：TINASHE CHINGARANDE 《巴尔的摩太阳报》

由于成本上升和州政府支持减少给地方预算带来压力，马里兰州的各县被迫压缩对急救人员和急救技术员（EMT）的资金投入。

这种压力在 7 月 1 日进一步加剧，当时州长韦斯·摩尔（Wes Moore）的 2027 财年预算生效，将更多成本转移给地方政府，包括减少州政府对教师养老金和教育项目的出资。当地领导人在周三告诉《巴尔的摩太阳报》，这些变化意味着各县必须承担更多此类成本，同时还面临着急救服务人员配置成本上升的问题。

哈福德县（Harford County）财务主管罗伯特·桑德拉斯（Robert Sandlass）表示，该县在 2027 财年的教育成本增加了 1000万美元，这在县政府努力招募和留住急救人员和急救技术员之际，进一步增加了其资助应急人员的能力压力。

“县政府不得不雇佣所有这些急救人员和急救技术员并为其配备装备，这绝对是（成本）将变得越来越昂贵的领域之一，”哈福德县财务主管罗伯特·桑德拉斯说。“对于这些人来说，劳动力市场非常紧张。他们技术精湛，需求量大。你必须支付市场价格。”

桑德拉斯表示，由于全国范围内志愿消防员人数下降，志愿消防队在招募和留住志愿者方面陷入困境，导致对付费应急人员的依赖增加，各县也因此面临更高的急救服务成本。

一名县议会议员表示，乔治王子县（Prince George's County）的社会服务和健康项目也面临压力。县议员乔琳·艾薇（Jolene Ivey）表示，该县的卫生和社会服务部门已经资金不足，而额外的财务压力使得雇佣足够的人员变得更加困难。

“他们总是人手不足，总是需要更多资源，”艾薇告诉《太阳报》。“因此，资源减少的想法令人担忧。”

与此同时，预计马里兰州在未来五年将面临额外的预算缺口。为了弥补 2027, 财年 14 亿美元 billion 的预算缺口，摩尔对州政府项目和资金转移削减了近 10 亿美元。最显著的是对地方所得税储备账户削减了 1.5亿美元，官员们认为这是必要的，因为州政府之前向地方管辖区支付的所得税分成（由审计长收取）过多。

马里兰县协会（Maryland Association of Counties）立法总监凯文·金纳利（Kevin Kinnally）表示，各县正在认真考虑提高财产税和所得税，特别是由于联邦政府对联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）的拆解，加剧了来自州政府的压力。

“各县正在实时地四处调整，以应对联邦和州级别的所有这些压力，”金纳利说。“所以当你想到，‘嘿，如果明天发生龙卷风，而联邦政府没出现，我们该怎么办？州政府没有庞大的储备基金’，这类问题就成了首要考虑的事情。”

州长的预算还调整了州政府在教师、社区学院工作人员和图书馆员退休成本中的分担比例，以节省 3900万美元，从而将更多成本转移给地方政府。此外，用于弥补差距的拨款资金被削减了 2700万美元，该资金旨在帮助低收入管辖区维持基本服务，此次削减影响了巴尔的摩市以及包括乔治王子县、东海岸和马里兰州西部几个县在内的地区。

州长办公室在周三拒绝就县领导人的担忧、州政府是否计划向地方政府提供额外救济，以及政府计划如何应对未来几年预计预算缺口对城市和县可能产生的影响等问题做出回应。

马里兰州的经济学家警告称，如果州政府继续将成本推向地方层面，纳税人可能会失去基本项目。

托森大学（Towson University）业务与公共参与副校长达赖乌斯·伊拉尼（Daraius Irani）表示，由于州法律将地方所得税率限制在州税率的一半，各县通过所得税弥补更高成本的能力有限。这限制了各县为覆盖高额——

联邦州的一桩谜案： Piping Plover 去了哪里？

一只 Piping Plover（管嘴鹬）在海滩上行走，但它们的种群数量正在减少。 CRAIG E. WALKER / BOSTON GLOBE / GETTY IMAGES

作者：DAVE RESS 《里士满时报-派遣报》（Richmond Times-Dispatch）

在弗吉尼亚州东海岸独特屏障岛的宽阔大西洋海滩上，存在着一个谜团：在那里筑巢的小 Piping Plover 发生了什么？

这就是为什么当州野生动物生物学家露丝·博切尔（Ruth Boettcher）在岛上进行每周巡视，检查这些鹬鸟挖掘的浅巢时，她会对发现的结果感到担忧。

“我会看到丢失的蛋，只剩下两颗或一颗蛋，有时甚至是完全空的巢穴，”她说，“我们以前没见过这种情况。”

现在，随着这些鹬鸟开始飞向它们在巴哈马的冬季度假地，她在雪松岛（Cedar Island）看到的雏鸟仅有一只，而该岛的繁殖对数量已从十年前的 50 多对下降到 14 对。去年有 5 只雏鸟。

在梅汤普金岛（Metompkin Island），仅有三只雏鸟成功离巢，低于 2025. 年的 12 只。繁殖对的数量也在下降。

即便如此，2025 年也并非好年景。在东海岸 75 英里长的屏障岛链上，博切尔所属的野生动物资源部团队，以及来自自然保护协会（Nature Conservancy）和美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service）的合作伙伴，共计统计到 115 对繁殖对，低于 2016. 年 291 对的峰值。该数量自 2003 年以来从未如此之低。

那一年，飓风“伊莎贝尔”（Hurricane Isabel）带来的强风和巨浪创造了新的宽阔平坦海滩，而这正是 Piping Plover 筑巢的地方。

这场风暴清理了岛后泥滩上的植被，而这些泥滩是鹬鸟寻找其赖以生存的昆虫和蠕虫的场所。

在“伊莎贝尔”之后，越来越多的鹬鸟开始来到弗吉尼亚州繁殖——数量从“伊莎贝尔”袭击前一个春季的 114 对稳步上升。

但在 2016, 年之后，数量开始持续下降。

虽然最终数据尚未出炉，但博切尔在雪松岛和梅汤普金岛看到的景象并不乐观。

而且原因并不明显。

弗吉尼亚州的屏障岛基本上是一个自然保护区。除了阿萨蒂格国家海岸（National Seashore at Assateague）和美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的沃洛普斯岛（Wallops Island）外，这些岛屿只能通过船只到达。

“东海岸是少数几个在春季迁徙和夏季能可靠地观察到 Piping Plover 的地区之一，”来自“东海岸观鸟”（Birding Eastern Shore）的罗伯塔·凯勒姆（Roberta Kellam）表示。

但她补充道，“Piping Plover 仅分布在屏障岛上，而这些岛屿相当难以抵达。”前往屏障岛的游客被要求在 4 月至 8 月期间留在高潮线以下——因为在发现浅巢之前，很容易不小心将其踩踏。

“它们不仅因为稀有而成为特殊的景观，还因为它们非常可爱。体型小巧、圆润，羽色精美，完美的沙色配以干练的黑色斑纹，”凯勒姆说。

如今没有人猎杀 Piping Plover 了，不像几十年前，当时为了迎合帽子制造业驱动的时尚趋势，这些鸟类几乎被猎杀至灭绝。

但也没有其他明显的麻烦迹象。在其他州侵占野生动物栖息地的沿海开发在屏障岛上并不是一个因素。

今年春天，当鸟类抵达且雄鸟开始进行那种标志性的、快速且僵硬的“鹅步”求偶舞时，天气其实并没有那么热。

降雨量足以防止泥滩干涸，因为干涸会使鹬鸟难以在泥中挖掘食物。

也没有出现那种能将海浪推至海滩高处从而淹没鹬鸟巢穴的风暴。

另一方面，也没有风暴来清理泥滩上侵入的植被

——多年来，鹬鸟可以觅食的滩涂面积已经萎缩。

博切尔和她的团队在雪松岛的沙丘上清理出了路径，以便鹬鸟更容易到达滩涂，但她还没有看到它们使用这些路径的迹象。

有时，她会在幽灵蟹的洞穴旁发现蛋壳。有时，则完全没有线索表明蛋去了哪里。

至于为什么现在进行僵硬腿求偶舞、挖掘浅巢或通过装断翅来威慑捕食者的鸻类比以往减少了，没有人知道。

“说真的，这确实是个谜，”博切尔说道。

青少年讲述与患狂犬病海狸搏斗经过，胸部和双手被咬伤

作者：CALEB OGILVIE 《弗雷德里克新闻邮报》（Frederick News-Post）

自从7月26日被一只患狂犬病的海狸袭击后，多米尼克·塞布拉（Dominick Cebula）的一根手指、两个指关节以及胸部的一部分失去了知觉。

他希望人们知道，是海狸袭击了他，而不是他挑衅海狸。

“我没有干扰它，”住在沃克斯维尔（Walkersville）、并在8月12日满14岁的多米尼克说道，“我当时只是在游泳，它突然就出现了。”

多米尼克及其父亲杰弗里·塞布拉（Jeffrey Cebula）在接受《弗雷德里克新闻邮报》采访时表示，这次袭击导致多米尼克的双手和胸部严重受伤。

他们表示，经过治疗、手术和随后的医生复诊，多米尼克已完成了狂犬病的全程治疗，缝线也已拆除。但他身体的部分区域仍无知觉，还将进行另一次手术以重新连接受损的神经。

根据8月5日的一份新闻稿，针对此次事件，马里兰州自然资源部（Maryland Department of Natural Resources）关闭了发生袭击地——坎宁安瀑布州立公园（Cunningham Falls State Park）内亨廷溪湖（Hunting Creek Lake）的游泳通道。

工作人员开始在该区域监测海狸。

一名自然资源部（DNR）发言人此前表示，10天后，另一只患狂犬病的海狸在距离多米尼克被咬处约250码的地方咬伤了一名19岁的人。根据8月5日的新闻稿，该部门随后关闭了湖边更多的区域。

8天后，另一只海狸在蒙哥马利县的塞内卡溪州立公园（Seneca Creek State Park）咬伤了一名10岁的孩子。根据周三更新的一份自然资源部新闻稿，公园内的一只海狸尸体在周三的检测中呈狂犬病阳性，但卫生部门和自然资源部官员尚不清楚这是否为同一只海狸。

多米尼克被咬后，当天剩余的时间都在医院度过，而自然资源部则关闭了海滩并开始搜寻。医生为他治疗了狂犬病并缝合了伤口。此后他进行了多次复诊，并将接受另一次手术以修复手部的神经损伤。

以下叙述基于对多米尼克以及杰弗里·塞布拉的采访。杰弗里在多米尼克被咬时不在湖边，但他表示对事件经过很熟悉。

这次咬伤始于鱼类。

多米尼克当时在亨廷溪湖的北岸附近游泳，水深没至胸口。多米尼克看到了鱼，于是潜入水下观察。

多米尼克的母亲阿里西亚·塞布拉（Alishia Cebula）看到有东西向她的儿子游去，但不知道那是什么。

她大声呼喊多米尼克，但多米尼克当时在潜水，没有听到。

结果是一只海狸正向多米尼克游来。

“他没看到它过来，”杰弗里·塞布拉说。

海狸死死咬住了多米尼克的胸部。多米尼克抓住它的脖子和腿试图将其甩掉。

海狸起初没有松口。

“它开始摇晃头部，让伤口变得更严重，简直像狗一样，”杰弗里·塞布拉说。

海狸最终松口了。多米尼克开始后退，但海狸再次跳向他，咬了多米尼克的左手，然后松口。

接着多米尼克举起右手，海狸又咬住了右手。

当阿里西亚·塞布拉冲到海狸身边时，她拍打水面，海狸随即转身游走了。

多米尼克立刻看到了自己的伤口。

“我知道伤口长什么样，因为事情发生时我立刻就看到了，”他说，“我记得低头看了胸部和双手，所以我知道样子。”

他说，多米尼克的右手尤其“糟糕”。

“我以为他们得截掉我的手指，因为咬口深到了骨头，”他说。

多米尼克跑出水面来到岸边。他的母亲给了他一条毛巾捂在胸前，然后跑向附近的洗手间，请求人们拨打911。

一个人走到多米尼克的弟弟那里，帮他收拾家人的物品。

阿里西亚·塞布拉坐在多米尼克身边，试图安抚他，直到急救人员到达。

“他们当时在湖边，离市区很远，所以救护车花了一段时间才赶到那里，”杰弗里·塞布拉（Jeffrey Cebula）说道。

当急救人员到达时，他们担心海狸可能刺穿了肺部，因此需要将多米尼克（Dominick）送往医院。

救护车将多米尼克送至直升机起飞点，随后直升机将他送往约翰·霍普金斯医院（Johns Hopkins Hospital）。

在多米尼克乘坐直升机前往医院的同时，他的家人则开车前往。由于该地区手机信号不佳，阿里西亚·塞布拉（Alishia Cebula）使用一名急救人员的电话联系她的丈夫。

多米尼克说，他记得在下直升机后，医生询问他的感受以及哪里感到疼痛。医生在直升机停机坪附近的急诊室对他进行了治疗。

“大约 30 分钟后，我被安置在自己的病房里，在手术前直到那时为止，我一直待在那里，”他说。

根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的网页，如果有人接触过狂犬病病毒，且在接触前未接种疫苗或接受治疗，他们将接受人类狂犬病免疫球蛋白治疗。在接下来的两周内，他们还需要接种四次疫苗。

多米尼克说，由于他当时已经在输液，医生告诉他第一次狂犬病治疗不需要单独注射。

在治疗过程中，医生对他进行了镇静处理。

杰弗里·塞布拉表示，狂犬病的治疗流程是预先确定的，因此医生并没有过多讨论如何为多米尼克治疗狂犬病。

相反，他们讨论了另一项任务：重新连接并缝合多米尼克的皮肤。

“不想描述得太血腥，但缺失的部分很多，”杰弗里·塞布拉在提到胸部咬伤时说道，“那里有一个巨大的缺口。”

一名整形外科医生成功缝合了多米尼克的胸部。

“他们能够将其拉拢缝合，现在恢复得非常好，”他的父亲说。

海狸也没有刺穿肺部，这消除了最初的担忧。

多米尼克说他不记得治疗过程了。

“我唯一记得的是醒来时，一切看起来和感觉起来都非常奇怪，”他说。

一名医生检查了多米尼克双手的神经损伤情况，判定没有问题。

但多米尼克仍然感觉不到双手部分区域以及胸部一小块区域的感觉。

“我感觉不到温度 [或] 疼痛，”他在提到麻木部位时说，“我感觉不到任何东西。”

杰弗里·塞布拉说，多米尼克还需要进行另一次手术，以修复右手的一根断裂神经。

他说，左手和胸部的感觉无需手术即可恢复。

多米尼克出院回家后，通过看电影和服药来度日。但这并没有像在医院治疗时那样有效。

“在家里其实比在医院更痛苦，因为除了布洛芬和泰诺（Tylenol），我不能服用任何其他药物，”他说。

他说他感到疼痛，但看不见伤口，因为绷带将其覆盖住了。

“这是一个几乎察觉不到的、缓慢的恢复过程，”他说。

在袭击发生 23 天后的周二采访中，多米尼克表示他不再感到疼痛。

海狸咬伤多米尼克的时间，就在塞布拉一家计划前往钦科蒂格（Chincoteague）度假的前几天。

杰弗里·塞布拉说，全家计划于 7 月 29 日开始度假。多米尼克是在 7 月 26 日被咬伤的。

但杰弗里和阿里西亚·塞布拉仍然希望他们的儿子能出去走走。

“我们希望他能分散一下注意力，”杰弗里·塞布拉说。

于是，他们去了大洋城（Ocean City）。

不过，他的父亲说，多米尼克的手臂从指尖到肘部都缠着绷带，因此他不能下水，也不能乘坐海滨步道的游乐设施。

这也意味着陌生人开始询问情况。当陌生人得知他被海狸袭击后，他们意识到自己已经听说了关于多米尼克和这次袭击的消息。

“我的意思是，到处的人都听说了这件事，大家都非常友善，做了很多善良的事，”杰弗里·塞布拉说。

在与陌生人谈论这次袭击后，在多米尼克的允许下，这家人开始习惯于向公众讲述这件事。

“我们在公共场合与陌生人的所有互动，甚至与那些想要谈论这件事的家人和朋友的互动——他都表现得非常坦诚，并且对此并不介意，”杰弗里·塞布拉（Jeffrey Cebula）说道。

多米尼克（Dominick）表示，他不介意人们询问他关于那次袭击的事。

“只是真的，就像，知道甚至连来自海洋城（Ocean City）的人都知道这件事，让我感到很震惊，”他说。

杰弗里·塞布拉表示，家人此前曾讨论过是否要谈论这次事件。

“我们不参加很多大型社交聚会，”他说。“我们不在大人群中逗留。大多数时候，如果我们出去玩，也是和家人在一起。我们的社交圈子很小。”

多米尼克的姑姑鼓励家人分享多米尼克的故事，并启动了一个 GoFundMe 筹款活动，旨在筹集 $1,000 以帮助支付医疗费用。

多米尼克还需要进行另一次手术。杰弗里·塞布拉表示，他希望儿子能在 10 月前痊愈，这样他就可以为沃克斯维尔高中（Walkersville High School）练习摔跤了。

弗吉尼亚州

预算削减可能导致该州行为健康危机响应时间承压

作者：凯特·塞尔策（KATE SELTZER） 《弗吉尼亚先驱报》（Virginian-Pilot）

弗吉尼亚州最近生效的预算包含相关条款，这意味着医疗补助计划（Medicaid）将不再为某些行为健康服务向提供者支付报销费用。

在获得联邦批准后，在州一级管理医疗补助计划的医疗援助服务部（DMAS）将不再支付一项名为“社区稳定”（community stabilization）的服务费用。此外，该机构将把移动危机响应（mobile crisis response）的可用时间从每次事件 8 小时缩短至 4 小时。

当有人经历行为或心理健康危机时，他们可以拨打 988，连接到提供 24 小时电话危机咨询的呼叫中心。如果健康和安全受到直接威胁，可能需要紧急医疗服务（EMS）或警察响应。

但移动危机响应是一种替代方案，由专业人员前往危机人员所在地，提供现场评估、治疗和干预。

比移动危机响应低一级的步骤是社区稳定——这是在行为或心理健康危机发生后的后续处理。它不属于紧急响应，但其目标是通过提供居家或基于社区的危机服务和咨询来避免住院。

医疗补助计划患者获取危机服务的变化可能意味着住院人数增加，并将影响提供者获得该项护理报销的方式。如果愿意或能够治疗医疗补助患者的私立机构减少，社区服务委员会（CSBs）可能会面临日益增长的介入和提供帮助的需求。

“通常情况下，社区服务委员会承担提供贫困护理或无报销护理的职能，因为私立机构通常不从事这项工作，”西潮汐社区服务委员会（Western Tidewater Community Services Board）执行主任布兰登·罗杰斯（Brandon Rodgers）表示，该委员会是该地区危机服务的区域中心。

“由于医疗补助接收者不再将此作为覆盖服务，我们可能会看到更多服务转诊至社区服务委员会，以支持那些（由医疗补助）未支付的护理。”

在 2026, 财年（于 6 月结束），DMAS 为医疗补助成员的移动危机响应支付了约 2.23亿美元。约 22,000 名医疗补助用户接受了该服务，平均成本约为 $10,000. 在该群体中，52% 的患者为黑人，44% 为白人。约一半的患者主要诊断为抑郁障碍；21% 为双相情感障碍及相关障碍，18% 为精神分裂症及其他障碍，16% 为创伤和压力源相关障碍。

同样，DMAS 为医疗补助成员的社区稳定服务支付了约 9500万美元。约 12,000 人接受了这些服务，每名成员平均花费约 $7,700。接受这些服务的医疗补助患者大多为黑人，且触发响应的主要诊断大多数为抑郁障碍，其次是双相情感障碍及相关障碍，以及精神分裂症和其他精神病性障碍。

总计，州预算的这些变动将节省约 3亿美元 的支出。

来自夏洛茨维尔的民主党州参议员克雷格·迪兹（Creigh Deeds）多年来一直致力于争取更好的行为健康服务获取渠道，此前他的儿子在心理健康危机期间刺伤他后自杀。在悲剧发生的前一天，迪兹未能为儿子争取到一个床位。

迪兹表示，包括医疗补助在内的联邦层面削减令立法者感到担忧。

“我们会挺过去的，但这将很艰难，”他说。“这将使一切都变得紧张。”

此外，立法机构对严重的欺诈案例感到担忧。在 2022 年至 2026 年之间，一家总部位于里士满的心理健康机构的运营商被指控在社区稳定和移动危机响应服务中，向医疗补助计划虚报了超过 $49.600 万 的费用。

“我不认为目前的状况应该归咎于客户，但有些事情一直让我们感到担忧，这促使我们重新审查其中一些项目，”迪兹（Deeds）表示。

他表示，减少行为健康医疗的接入口是一个令人担忧的问题，但立法者必须在资金使用上保持精明。

“这意味着，当我们察觉到资金流出——并非用于向需要帮助的人提供服务，而是可能被用于其他用途时——我们就必须对其进行审查，”他说。“我们必须加强管控，确保资金投入到正确的地方。我感到担忧，但我认为我们也必须确保支出在可控范围内。”

西潮社区服务委员会（Western Tidewater Community Services Board）的罗杰斯（Rodgers）表示，预算变更不应干扰护理质量。也就是说，移动危机响应人员不应仅仅因为对方是医疗补助（Medicaid）领取者，就在服务满四小时时放弃处于危机中的患者。

但响应人员将更难获得该项工作的报销。如果在心理健康危机发生后，获得护理的途径减少，这可能会给已经超负荷的医院系统带来压力。

行为健康与发展服务部维护着一个仪表盘，用于监测该部门州立儿童及成人医院的当前入住率。截至周一，全州成人医院的入住率为 99.3%，儿童医院的入住率为 100%。

罗杰斯表示，私人精神科病房可以提供额外的容量，但在建议采取临时拘留令且八小时内无法找到其他床位的情况下，州立医院必须接收患者。

“当州立医院的登记人数达到如此关键的水平时，安全接收需要治疗的个体可能会被延迟，这使得社区稳定化和移动危机响应等社区服务在提供住院护理的积极替代方案方面变得更加必要，”他说。

罗杰斯表示，就该州过去几年在扩大社区支持和减少住院率方面所做的工作而言，这感觉像是在后退。

“如果你心脏病发作，会有救护车来到你门前，”罗杰斯说。“如果你有自杀倾向且需要紧急的行为健康干预，我们目前依靠私人和公共资源的结合来响应并来到你门前。行为健康领域还没有达到同样的对等水平，但其对生命和安全的风险程度是相似的。”

挪威国王哈拉尔五世，89岁

FRANCISCO SECO / AP 挪威国王哈拉尔五世（照片拍摄于2019年）是该国自1370年以来首位本土出生的王子。

挪威国王：童年时期逃离纳粹，推动君主制现代化

AMANDA PEDERSEN GISKE / 今年7月，哈拉尔国王与挪威国家足球队成员（包括中间的守门员奥尔扬·尼兰）交谈。

作者：VICTORIA CRAW

挪威国王哈拉尔五世于周五在奥斯陆的一家医院去世，享年89岁。他童年时曾随家人在阿道夫·希特勒入侵期间逃亡，并在白宫寻求庇护；在他深受民众爱戴的35年统治期间，他帮助推动了该国君主制的现代化。

挪威王室宣布了他的死讯，但未提及死因。

挪威总理约纳斯·加尔·斯托雷在周五的一份声明中表示，“整个国家都在哀悼”，并补充说，哈拉尔国王“帮助我们看到了自身以及彼此身上的闪光点”。

他说：“哈拉尔国王深爱着挪威，而挪威也深爱着哈拉尔国王。”包括英国、丹麦、瑞典和荷兰在内的欧洲其他王室以及各国政治领导人也纷纷表达了悼念。

在战争席卷欧洲时，这位挪威统治者在孩童时期被紧急转移至安全地带。他在美国度过了成长关键期，直到8, 岁才返回故乡，当时他带着美国口音，并记得在富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统就职典礼上站在其身后的情景。

成年后，哈拉尔国王在1968年与平民索尼娅·哈拉尔森结婚，打破了传统。他们的婚姻震惊了权势阶层，并引发了关于君主制将崩溃的警告，但这被证明是他作为统治者规划自身道路的多种方式之一。这对夫妇结婚超过五个十年。

这位热衷于体育和热爱自然的国王曾代表国家参加了三届奥运会的帆船比赛——1964年东京奥运会、1968年墨西哥城奥运会以及1972年慕尼黑奥运会——直到2022年，在85岁时才最终宣布结束其竞技生涯。他领导世界自然基金会（WWF）挪威分会长达20年，并且是第一位有北极部分地区以其命名的国王。

作为挪威君主立宪制的领导人，哈拉尔国王的角色在很大程度上是礼仪性的。但他凭借情感的坦诚以及对多样性和宗教宽容的支持，赢得了这个拥有560 万人口国家的喜爱。他寻求使君主制现代化并提高透明度，接受媒体采访并发布年度财务报告。

1997年，哈拉尔国王就政府在两个多世纪以来试图根除北极萨米人文化的行为公开道歉。在2011年极右翼极端分子安德斯·贝林·布雷维克通过爆炸和枪击杀害77人的大屠杀之后，他在一次演讲中努力克制情绪以安慰国民，此举赢得了赞誉。在演讲中，他重申了对一个强大且多元文化社会的信念。

2016年，他在王宫花园派对上发表了一篇支持多样性、宗教宽容和LGBTQ权利的激情演讲，随后在网络上广泛传播。

“挪威人是热情洋溢的年轻人——也是睿智的老年人。挪威人有单身者、离婚者、有孩子的家庭以及老夫老妻。挪威人有爱女孩的女孩，爱男孩的男孩，以及彼此相爱的女孩和男孩。挪威人信仰上帝、真主、宇宙，或者什么都不信，”他当时说道。

“换句话说，”他补充道，“挪威就是你们。”

哈拉尔五世于Feb. 21, 1937, 出生在奥斯陆郊外的斯考古姆，是在该国早先与丹麦和瑞典联合之后，567年来首位出生在挪威的王子。他的祖父哈康七世于1905年成为挪威君主，建立了新的独立君主制。该家族与英国王室有亲属关系，哈拉尔国王与伊丽莎白二世女王是二表亲。

他是奥拉夫王储和玛莎王储妃的第三个孩子，此前他们已有两个女儿。但在当时，只有男性继承人才能继承王位，这确保了他在继承顺序中的地位。（这一规定在1990年被修订，改为由长子 / 长女优先继承，不论性别。）

1940年4月，德国军队入侵该国，他平静的童年因此被打破。在政府成员和王室成员试图乘火车逃离首都之际，玛莎公主带着她的三个孩子逃往瑞典，随后应罗斯福的邀请乘船前往美国。

在美国期间，他们住在白宫以及罗斯福位于纽约海德公园的家中，而哈拉尔国王的父亲和祖父则逃往伦敦建立流亡政府。玛莎公主和孩子们最终定居在贝塞斯达北部的一座都铎风格豪宅中。

哈拉尔国王经常深情地谈起在美国的时光，在1999年向比尔·克林顿总统发表的演讲中，他表示清楚记得“在罗斯福总统宣誓就职时就站在他的正后方”。当时的影像显示，挪威王室的孩子们正站在白宫的台阶上。

2015年，哈拉尔国王在西雅图的一次演讲中表示，他“对在美国那五年中所感受到的慷慨与热情深表感激”。

他补充道：“从那时起，贵国就在我的心中占据了一个特殊的位置。”

1945年返回家乡后，哈拉尔国王在奥斯陆就学，随后在军事学院接受训练，并在英国的牛津大学学习。

1957年9月哈康去世后，他成为王储，与父亲奥拉夫五世国王共同工作，并在父亲于1991年去世后登基。

他的幸存亲属包括索尼娅王后；两个孩子——玛莎·路易丝公主和将接任国王的哈康王储；一位姐姐——阿斯特丽德公主；以及两个孙辈。

尽管最初引发争议，但哈拉尔国王与索尼娅的爱情故事赢得了挪威公众的喜爱。2016年，这对夫妇向挪威国家广播公司（NRK）分享了此前未公开的恋爱照片，描述了他们如何在1959年相识——当时哈拉尔王储22岁——并迅速坠入爱河。

尽管因未能满足娶欧洲贵族成员的期望而深感愧疚，但哈拉尔国王表示，在面对建制派和挪威媒体的不认可时，试图结束这段恋情的尝试并非“完全成功”。他最终向父亲发出了最后通牒：如果不能娶索尼娅，他将终身不娶。奥拉夫最终让步，两人在奥斯陆大教堂举行了婚礼。

哈康王储在2001年决定娶一名曾任服务员且是单身母亲的女性，同样引发了争议。哈拉尔国王支持他们的关系，这场童话般的婚礼吸引了数千名挥舞旗帜的祝福者。

王室今年面临争议，梅特-玛丽特王储妃因与已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的友谊而受到审查。作为美国司法部（DOJ）调查的一部分而公布的文件显示，梅特-玛丽特与这位名声扫地的金融家之间有100多条信息。今年夏天，在长子马里乌斯被判定强奸罪并被判处四年监禁后，梅特-玛丽特也成为了关注焦点。哈拉尔国王表示，他对所有受审判影响的人表示同情，并拒绝就儿媳与爱泼斯坦的关系发表评论。

他曾说过，成为一名君主是一个“终身学习的过程”。但他表示，他相信君主制在他的儿子手中会得到妥善延续。2024年，他以健康问题为由宣布永久减少职责，但排除了退位的可能性，称他所宣誓的誓言“终身有效”。

“对我来说就这么简单。我们将坚持到最后。”

讣告

……纽约市的设计。

她的丈夫、相伴 59 年的挚爱丹尼尔·詹姆斯·迪南（Daniel James Dinan）先于她去世。她的遗属包括儿子凯文·迪南（Kevin Dinan）和詹姆斯（James）；儿媳克里斯滕（Christen）和莫妮卡（Monica）；孙辈马修（Matthew）、凯特琳·金博尔（Kaitlin Kimball）、斯特凡妮（Stephanie）、凯西（Casey）和泰勒（Tyler）；以及曾孙辈泰迪（Teddy）、埃米琳·金博尔（Emelyn Kimball）、杰西·金博尔（Jesse Kimball）和安妮（Annie）。除了家人，帕特（Pat）最大的乐趣是阅读以及在她在佛蒙特州的第二故乡度过时光。

追思访视将于 2026 年 10 月 24 日（星期六）下午 4 点至 6 点在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿威尔逊大道 4510 号（4510 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22203）的墨菲殡仪馆（Murphy's Funeral Home）举行。安葬仪式将私下进行。请以向圣犹达儿童研究医院（St. Jude Children's Research Hospital）捐款代替献花。在线指南可通过 www.murphyfuneral-homes.com 获取。

唐娜（Donna）曾被接纳到她父母最好的朋友——美国海军退役少将查尔斯·H·安德鲁斯（Charles H. Andrews）和埃莉诺·安德鲁斯（Eleanor Andrews）家中，以及他们的四个孩子身边，他们在所有重要的意义上都成为了她的家人。

唐娜于 1957 年毕业于康涅狄格女子学院，并在同年与美国海军学院 1955 届的约翰·“杰克”·W·雷纳德（John "Jack" W. Renard）海军中尉结婚。他们的婚姻持续了 67 年之久，在 42 年的海军生活中共同抚养子女成长。

ROLANDI

在 9 岁时，唐娜担任了“乔治·K·麦肯齐号”驱逐舰（USS George K. MacKenzie, DD-836）的命名赞助人，该舰于 1945 年为纪念她的父亲而命名。1976 年，她再次回到该舰参加退役仪式，完成了与父亲及海军之间一段非凡的纽带。

杰克先于唐娜去世。唐娜的遗属包括子女：凯瑟琳·“基特”·雷纳德·墨菲（Kathryn "Kitt" Renard Murphy）；美国空军退役中校约翰·麦肯齐·雷纳德（John MacKenzie Renard，配偶凯西 Kathy）；以及约瑟芬·“乔西”·雷纳德·巴隆德斯（Josephine "Josie" Renard Barondess，配偶大卫 David）；七个孙辈和九个曾孙辈。

唐娜最伟大的遗产留在她的家人、珍视的友谊、故事以及将继续讲述这些故事的后代之中。

在举行私人的家庭仪式后，唐娜将与杰克一同安葬在马里兰州安纳波利斯的美国海军学院骨灰安置所（United States Naval Academy Columbarium）。

……体现在她在科科伦美术馆（Corcoran Gallery of Art）广泛的领导力中，她在 2005 年加入后担任董事会成员，并在科科伦妇女委员会中担任多个领导职务。莫莉（Molly）和里克（Rick）共同成为华盛顿特区艺术机构和当地新兴人才的坚定支持者，支持希尔伍德（Hillwood）、国家美术馆（National Gallery of Art）、合唱艺术协会（Choral Arts）和菲利普斯收藏馆（The Phillips Collection）。自 2011 年起，她也是萨尔格雷夫俱乐部（The Sulgrave Club）的一员。

除了对公民社会的贡献，莫莉还以长久的友谊、天然的魅力以及将人们聚集在一起的独特能力而著称。她是一个真正的阳光爱好者，没有什么比温暖的夏日午后更能让她感到平静——沐浴在阳光下，在家人陪伴下读着一本好书渐渐入睡。她的家和心始终被她对四足伙伴的深情所牵绊，多年来她深爱着每一只：Whiskers、Bogart、Archie，以及她忠诚的 Freddie Mac。

她的遗属包括丈夫里克（Rick）；女儿李（Lee）；富有同情心的护理员阿姆萨莱·塞尤姆（Amsale Seyoum）；以及她忠诚的选定家人阿尔玛·（凯瑟琳）·尼韦特（Alma (Kathleen) Nivet）。

追思仪式将于 2026 年 9 月 1 日（星期二）上午 11 点在马里兰州切维切斯圆环 3 号（3 Chevy Chase Circle, Chevy Chase, Maryland, 20815）的所有圣徒教堂（All Saints Church）圣殿举行。随后在切维切斯俱乐部（Chevy Chase Club）举行招待会和午餐。

请以向蒙哥马利县动物保护协会（Montgomery County Humane Society）捐款以纪念莫莉，代替献花。

萨利文

威廉·F·萨利文 “比尔”

威廉·F·萨利文，87岁，于2026年7月25日在弗吉尼亚州的亚历山德里亚古德温之家（Goodwin House Alexandria）逝世。

比尔出生于海伦·奥尼尔·萨利文和约瑟夫·大卫·萨利文夫妇名下，在康涅狄格州的诺沃克长大，并毕业于费尔菲尔德大学预科学校。他的大学时光在杜肯大学度过，在那里获得了英语、历史和教育学学士学位。

在服役两年后，比尔定居在弗吉尼亚州的阿灵顿，并在阿灵顿公立学校系统开始了长达38年的职业生涯。他的第一份工作是乔治梅森中心的就业安置协调员，在那里他为残障学生实施了相关项目。在此期间，他为数百名学生提供了支持性的就业安置，其中许多人被联邦政府永久聘用并最终在那里退休。

1975年，比尔被聘为阿灵顿职业中心的特殊需求学生项目协调员，并于2004年以该中心主任的身份退休。在职期间，他继续深造，在乔治华盛顿大学获得了特殊教育硕士学位以及咨询与人类发展博士学位。

比尔是一名持证专业咨询师，曾担任美国政府高级行政人员（SES）关于有效领导实践的顾问，还曾在国家儿童医学中心担任研究员，培训多名住院医师学习如何与患有急性淋巴细胞白血病儿童的家长进行有效沟通。

在1983年至1988年期间的不同时间段，比尔曾在三一学院、乔治华盛顿大学和乔治梅森大学担任兼职教授。比尔对教育的热爱以及帮助学生寻找热情的决心从未疲倦或动摇。只要有机会，他会与任何有志于深造的人交谈，或协助他们实现目标。

在60年代华盛顿酒店的一次“单身人士”舞会上，比尔遇到了他未来的妻子比娅。他的善良、正直和优美的歌声，更不用说他爱尔兰式的英俊，赢得了比娅的芳心，两人于1968年结婚。他们育有两个孩子，一女一子。

2018年，比尔被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病。不出所有人所料，他战胜了疾病，在最后的岁月里以勇气、善良、尊严——以及歌声——生活，“丹尼男孩”是他长久以来的最爱，也是他会唱给任何愿意倾听的人听的歌曲。比尔是一位优秀的丈夫、父亲，是孙辈们崇拜的“爷爷”，也是一位兄弟和朋友，受到所有人的尊重，被如此多人爱戴。他将被深深怀念。

比尔的父母约瑟夫和海伦·萨利文先于他去世。除了结婚58年的妻子比娅，比尔留下了子女：女儿埃琳（克里斯）；儿子马修（埃拉娜）；孙辈尼古拉斯、帕特里克·李以及乔纳、罗安和瑞安·萨利文；兄弟戴夫（安妮莉丝）；侄女芭芭拉·萨利文；侄子斯特凡·萨利文（玛丽娜）及其儿子布鲁诺和卢卡斯。

追思弥撒将于2026年9月18日星期五下午4:00在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚的至圣圣体天主教堂举行，随后在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚的古德温之家举行招待会。

可通过相关网站向阿灵顿社区基金会的“未来教育者奖学金基金”或古德温生活基金会的“团队成员支持基金”捐款。

随着世界逼近灾难性气候事件，更多冲击即将到来

作者：PETER PRENGAMAN 美联社

纽约 —— 在美国作家金·斯坦利·罗宾逊（Kim Stanley Robinson）的《未来部》（The Ministry for the Future）开篇场景中，印度的一场热浪伴随电网崩溃导致 2000 万 人死亡。这场毁灭性的灾难促使世界各国团结起来共同应对气候变化。

科学家们长期以来一直警告称，世界将经历更剧烈的极端天气事件，如热浪、风暴、洪水和干旱。但曾经看似虚构的领域，现在正被讨论为一种可能性，甚至是一种必然。

警告所谓的“极端之极”或“另一个大事件”（Other Big One，借用了加州对未来大地震的称呼）可能会充满压力。毕竟，没有人能确定天气灾难何时会发生。但在过去的几年里，引发大规模动荡的全球性因素一直在积聚。恐慌情绪也在增长。“风险在于人们认为你只是在夸大其词，”加州水资源研究所的气候科学家丹尼尔·斯温（Daniel Swain）表示。“这就是‘狼来了’的问题。但有时狼是真的。如果它就在门外，难道你不想知道吗？”

在 19 世纪 50 年代，业余科学家尤妮斯·牛顿·富特（Eunice Newton Foote）在纽约州塞内卡福尔斯（Seneca Falls）居住期间进行了一系列实验。她将包括二氧化碳和潮湿空气在内的不同物质放入玻璃圆筒中并将其置于阳光下。她的发现令人震惊：含有二氧化碳（一种在燃烧煤、天然气或石油时释放的温室气体）的圆筒升温更快，且在日落后冷却时间更长。

快进到今天：地球正被泵入大气层的海量温室气体加热，导致全球平均气温逐渐升高。这种升温——2025 年比 19 世纪初高出 1.44 摄氏度（2.59 华氏度）——导致极端天气事件更加频繁且更加剧烈。

排放温室气体最多、从而对气候变化贡献最大的国家是美国。但在美国庆祝建国 250 周年之际，不要指望它会承认这一点，更不要指望政府会领导大规模的应对努力。唐纳德·特朗普总统称气候变化是“史上最大的骗局”，将气候政策称为“绿色新骗局”，并称联合国的气候预测是由“愚蠢的人”做出的。

在任何给定时间，全球各地都有无数极端天气事件在发生。事实上，其中一些事件的规模之大，可以说我们已经进入了极端时代。

想想澳大利亚 2019 和 2020 年的“黑色夏季”山火，当时有 1900 万 公顷（超过 4600 万 英亩）的土地被焚毁。或者 2022 年的巴基斯坦，当时的洪水导致该国三分之一的国土被淹没。又或者 2024 年的米尔顿（Milton）和海伦（Helene）飓风，它们蹂躏了美国南部部分地区。更不用说周期性的较小灾难，例如去年吞没年轻露营者的德克萨斯州洪水；吞噬整个社区的洛杉矶山火；以及重创越南和菲律宾的卡尔马吉（Kalmaegi）台风。

澳大利亚国立大学的气候科学家莎拉·珀金斯-柯克帕特里克（Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick）表示，当她意识到即使世界能立即实现净零排放（即从大气中移除的温室气体量与排放量相等），持续的极端天气事件也不会停止时，她经历了一个“顿悟时刻”。许多国家和大型公司将净零目标设定在 2050 年或之后。

由于二氧化碳可以在大气中停留数百年，且已经积聚了如此之多，扭转这种损害可能需要几个世纪的时间。而我们仍在继续增加排放。

“这就是‘温水煮青蛙’的问题，”珀金斯-柯克帕特里克说。“如果我们习惯了时刻紧绷神经，我们还会注意到吗？”

显而易见的是，没有哪个国家真正为重大气候灾难做好了准备，而且风险正在发生变化。

罗宾逊的书出版于 2020 年，他表示，如果他现在写作，会增加一个关于山火的章节，因为山火已变得规模更大且破坏性更强。虽然他书中提到的印度潜在热浪灾难在今天看来可能性可能较低——这得益于对电网依赖的减少和太阳能的利用——但罗宾逊认为，发生灾难的风险反而增加了。他说，这本书“依然具有意义”。

回避谈论令人不快的事情是基本心理学。气候变化既令人沮丧又让人感到无力，正属于这一类。

从政府到个人，一种常见的反应在很大程度上是选择忽视，而不是通过激进地减少温室气体排放采取行动，或者更新基础设施以适应一个被极端天气事件改变的世界。挑战的一部分在于，科学家在讨论极端事件时必须格外谨慎。

例如，人们无法断言某场灾难会在某一年甚至某一个十年内发生。但模型每年都在改进，而极端事件之间的时间间隔正在缩短。

索尼娅·塞内维拉特内（Sonia Seneviratne）是一位瑞士气候学家，担任政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）的一个工作组副主席，该委员会是联合国最高级别的气候科学家机构。塞内维拉特内将这种风险比作吸烟与肺癌的关系。吸烟的人不一定会得肺癌，但概率更高，而医生应该告知这一点。同样，每增加 0.1 度，发生大规模极端事件的风险就会随之上升。

“如果真的发生了这样的事件，我已经能预见到人们会批评说：‘气候科学家没有告诉我们’，”塞内维拉特内说，“但我们确实告诉过了。”

虽然地震与气候变化无关，但加利福尼亚州许多地震频发城市为潜在的“大地震”所做的准备，可以作为一种可能性的范例。这项工作的核心人物是露西·琼斯（Lucy Jones），她是一位地震学家，也是《大地震：自然灾害如何塑造我们（以及我们能为此做些什么）》一书的作者。

2014 年，当时就职于美国地质调查局的琼斯与洛杉矶市长埃里克·加塞蒂（Eric Garcetti）政府合作，制定了一项计划，在洛杉矶以及随后在加州其他城市开展了广泛的建筑加固和地震准备工作。两年后，她成立了一家非营利组织，专门提供地震及其他灾难准备方面的咨询。

琼斯表示，如果人们相信风险是真实的且解决方案是可行的，他们就会做出改变。如果没有这种信念，人们很可能会选择忽视这个问题。

“气候否认是一种应对方式，”琼斯说。她表示，人们通过这样一种心理合理化来安慰自己：“我不相信它是真的，这样我就觉得更安全。”

在过去的四分之一个世纪里，许多电影都聚焦于极端天气事件，因为这能为任何情节提供动作戏和危机感。电影中的描绘通常有两种结局之一：要么一切都会好起来，要么我们注定毁灭。

对比两部相隔 15 年上映的热门气候电影。在 2004 年的《后天》中，由丹尼斯·奎德（Dennis Quaid）饰演的杰克·霍尔（Jack Hall）是一位气候科学家，他在德里的联合国气候会议上发言，敦促大幅减少温室气体排放，并警告如果不这样做将导致重大极端天气事件。霍尔说：“气候是脆弱的。”

“经济也是脆弱的，”美国副总统回应道。

不久之后，霍尔警告的灾难发生了。极地冰盖融化导致北大西洋暖流停止，而该暖流原本将温暖的洋流向东北方向移至大西洋。在剧烈的寒潮接管一切之前，出现了巨大的气旋、巨大的冰雹、严重的洪水和龙卷风——寒冷到任何在室外的人都会死亡。

最终，已就任总统的副总统向全国就剥削自然表示道歉。他说：“我们错了。”

在2021年的讽刺电影《不要抬头》中，由莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥和詹妮弗·劳伦斯饰演的两名天文学家发现一颗巨大的彗星正向地球飞来。他们试图促使人们采取行动以避免毁灭。而由梅丽尔·斯特里普饰演的美国总统对此并不感兴趣。

“在此时此刻，我认为我们应该静观其变并进行评估，”斯特里普在得知彗星正直冲地球而来后说道。

“这玩意儿有多大？能把我前妻的房子给毁了吗？”一名电视新闻主持人开玩笑地问道。

在电影结尾，几乎所有人都死去了，这种情景即便是在对气候影响最糟糕的预测中也未曾设想。

尽管极端天气事件已经变得如此剧烈，但未来可能会出现更糟糕的情况。这是基础物理学。

人类历史上产生的所有温室气体中，有超过一半是在过去50年间释放到大气中的。这些气体产生热量，从而扰乱天气模式和生态系统。

重大气候事件（更有可能是世界不同地区发生的多次事件）发生的具体时间无法确定。任何给定区域的灾难性事件可能会在50年后，或10年后，甚至更早。

否认气候变化真实存在的人会指出科学家的预测会出现偏差，而并非每个气候模型都正确，这确实是事实。但在过去的几十年里，如果说有什么偏差的话，那就是气候科学家过于保守了。气候影响发生的速度比预测的要快得多。

众多例子中的一个：2022年1月，英国气候风险评估报告称，在2040年之前出现40摄氏度（104华氏度）或以上高温的概率为0.02%。而就在那个夏天，英国部分地区的气温突破了40摄氏度。

我们也已经到了一个时刻，即“临界点”——当某个行星系统的恶化跨越了一个无法恢复的阈值——不再被视为理论上的或未来的假设。

最常被提及的是珊瑚。根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局的数据，在2023年至2025年之间，全球84%的珊瑚因热压力而导致微小藻类排出，这通常会导致珊瑚死亡。即便温度大幅下降，大多数珊瑚能否恢复仍令人怀疑。

储存大量二氧化碳并有助于调节气候的亚马逊雨林也面临临界点的风险。近几十年来，持续的干旱、大规模山火以及为给养牛腾出空间而进行的砍伐，已经使大片森林退化。如今的争论焦点在于亚马逊雨林何时会释放出比其储存量更多的二氧化碳，而非是否会释放。

今年的厄尔尼诺现象（一种自然且周期性的变暖循环）预计将成为有记录以来最强的一次，这可能会进一步推高气温，打破记录并沿途造成破坏。

总体而言，地球正处于一条危险的道路上。

“我们需要讨论一些可能发生的 worst-case（最糟糕）情况，”埃克塞特大学气候科学教授蒂姆·伦顿（Tim Lenton）表示，“认为一些更大的冲击即将到来是很自然的。”

Ballroom claim is undercut by records

White House says project is ‘65% finished’ in filing to Supreme Court

BY SARAH BLASKEY, JONATHAN O'CONNELL, DAN DIAMOND AND JARRETT LEY

The Trump administration told the Supreme Court two weeks ago that construction of a new White House East Wing was “65% finished,” part of its argument that the work was too far along for the court to halt.

But by the White House's own standard for measuring the project's progress, established in a confidential agreement with contractor Clark Construction that was reviewed by The Washington Post, work on the controversial project was far less complete.

The agreement, finalized before Clark began demolition last October, stipulates that payments to the contractor be proportional to the amount of work completed, and that work cannot begin until the government approves spending for it. Based on that, if 65 percent of the work has been done, then the government should already have paid 65 percent of the total cost of the project.

Publicly available appropriations data shows that as of the end of July, the White House budget office had approved \$144 million in spending from an account used to pay for the East Wing and other White House projects. Even if that entire amount were spent on the East Wing, it would come to only about 24 percent of the \$600 million estimated

Warsh: On inflation, bank has 'work to do'

A majority of investors now expect a rate hike in September

BY DAVID J. LYNCH

JACKSON HOLE, WYO. — Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said he was “impressed” with the economy’s overall strength but is concerned by signs that “underlying trends” in inflation have not improved.

Making his first appearance here as Fed chair, Warsh stopped well short of clearly signaling an interest-rate increase at the Fed's next meeting. He also defended his controversial decision to provide only limited public comments about Fed thinking, which critics say has left markets confused about the central bank's intentions.

But many investors viewed Warsh's remarks as hawkish. Nearly 60 percent of traders now anticipate a Fed rate hike in mid-September, up from just over a third on Thursday, according to CME FedWatch, which tracks futures market activity.

Americans have turned against plate cameras

More people oppose police use of the AI-powered technology than support it

BY DREW HARWELL, DOUGLAS MACMILLAN, AARON SCHAFFER AND KEVIN CROWE

When Justin Cowgur, a city council member in Centerton, Arkansas, was asked two years ago to vote on a contract to install Flock license-plate readers, he found it easy to say yes. The Republican wine seller believed the artificial intelligence-powered cameras — which record passing cars' plates into a database that officers can search to investigate crime — could help ease the strain on their understaffed police force and keep his bedroom community safe.

But lately, he's come to regret the deal, saying he no longer trusts the company with the huge amount of data its roadside cameras collect. Earlier this month, after a parade of residents voiced concerns about their privacy and the system's risk of abuse, he and other members voted unanimously to cancel the contract.

"Being a parent and having two girls, I wanted safety. But the way that the license plate readers have hit a lot of radars is very concerning," Cowgur, 39, said in an interview. "People want to have privacy in some way, and you don't want to feel like you're being watched. ... Do we really know where our data is going?"

Cowgur's change of heart reflects the national mood on one of the fastest-growing surveillance tools in American policing, according to surveys from the polling firm YouGov. More Americans now oppose law enforcement's use of the technology than support it, a reversal from last year as a growing backlash raises concerns about its poten-SEE FLOCK ON A6

Trump secures a vast U.S. stake in Venezuela's oil

SAYS DEAL INVOLVES 65 BILLION BARRELS

Goal is to persuade energy companies to drill

BY EVAN HALPER, KAREN DE YOUNG, ANTHONY FAIOLA AND SAMANTHA SCHMIDT

President Trump announced Friday night that the U.S. had secured a long-term stake in a vast share of Venezuela's oil fields, a potentially costly and legally precarious proposal that aims to nudge reluctant energy companies to drill in the risky region.

The plan involves the United States taking more direct control over Venezuelan reserves as crime and steep logistical challenges discourage private investors.

Under it, according to federal officials, the U.S. has gained a controlling stake in nearly a quarter of Venezuela's untapped oil reserves. It makes the United States the majority owner of a giant new joint venture oil company that will hold 100-year contracts at the Venezuelan oil fields.

The key Venezuelan partner in the deal is Alejandro Betancourt, a Venezuelan businessman who has been the subject of investigations in multiple countries into alleged money laundering and currently faces a Swiss warrant for his arrest.

"The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!" Trump posted on social media Friday night. "At my direction, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, working closely with Highly Respected Interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, and, through a partnership with private business, have secured majority U.S. control of more than 65 BILLION BARRELS of proven Oil Reserves in Venezuela."

Six months later, Trump is low on Iran options

Regime endures, Hormuz is largely closed, and U.S. weapons are depleted

BY MICHAEL BIRNBAUM

The day after President Donald Trump launched the war in Iran on Feb. 28, he said the fight could last four to five weeks. Six months later, there is little to suggest the end is near.

The Iran war has become a major challenge to Trump's second term, hurting his standing with voters at home and eroding the U.S. position in the Middle East. And the president's ability to shape the outcome appears to be severely constrained after Iranian leaders discovered that they could withstand intense bombardment and slowly degrade the world's most powerful military with a cheap combination of mines and drones.

Now Trump needs to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while operating within his own red lines: His fierce aversion to becoming a 21 $^{st}$ -century Herbert Hoover, who presided over the Great Depression, limits the economic moves available to him. His decision, at least so far, to hold back from the riskiest and most extreme military moves against Iran similarly limits his war options.

"We are in an absolutely weaker position, and I don't know that there's any redemption for it," said Suzanne Maloney, an expert on U.S.-Iran relations at the Brookings Institution.

THE POLLWATCHER

We know you care about the environment because you're sweating

Plus: How are poll respondents selected? And a poll finds Republicans like a Democratic senator.

BY SCOTT CLEMENT

This week's Pollwatcher answers a reader's question about how polls select respondents and highlights how partisans in one state have flipped on a Democratic senator. But first...

Are people honest when taking polls? I often see claims that people regularly lie to pollsters, a claim that's difficult to prove or disprove. Still, the idea that people are willing and able to report their actual opinions is a core assumption for public opinion polls to work.

There are examples of “social desirability” bias in surveys on certain topics: People overreport voting in elections and under-report drug use. The “Bradley Effect” theorized that White voters overreported support for Black candidates in 1980s elections, although this pattern didn’t repeat in either of Barack Obama’s presidential runs.

But what about standard opinion questions like “what is the most important issue facing the country?” Do people report which issues really matter to them?

The answer may be in our fingertips and eyeballs, according to a recent study published in Public Opinion Quarterly, a top journal. A trio of researchers at Université Laval in Quebec explained that when people experience strong emotions, they can also have physical reactions. Sweating is one indicator of emotional response, as is how much our pupils dilate when reacting to something we see.

How they did it

In a dimly lit room, researchers showed 116 Quebec adults a variety of words associated with five issues, including the economy, environment, health, immigration and culture. As they answered short questions about each word, a sensor measured how quickly electricity flowed through their index and middle fingers — a proxy for sweat — while another sensor tracked changes in the diameter of their pupils. Participants also completed a typical survey asking about the importance of the same issues.

Co-author of the study Camille Tremblay-Antoine described the study's core question in an email: "When we ask people questions and collect their answers, are those answers actually valid? Would we get the same results if those same people came into a laboratory and we measured their responses with a lie detector?"

'The short answer is: yes.'

That's the basic conclusion from Tremblay-Antoine. The study found strong positive correlations, about 0.7 out of a maximum of 1, between how important people rated issues and their both sweat rates and pupil sizes. The results were statistically significant despite the study's relative small sample.

Not all survey questions performed equally, the study found. Questions that forced respondents to choose their most important issue were more closely tied to physical reactions than those that allowed respondents to rate multiple issues as important.

But overall, the results were encouraging, Tremblay-Antoine wrote. “When we ask people what matters to them or what they prefer, we can have real confidence that their answers reflect their genuine priorities. It may seem obvious, but it had never actually been tested this way.”

Top-issue polls face other challenges

While the novel Canadian study suggests people can tell pollsters which issues they feel passionately about, measuring and interpreting the public's biggest concerns can be difficult.

Top-issue polls sometimes show differing results depending on which issues are listed. A May Quinnipiac University poll found 26 percent of voters chose “preserving democracy” as the nation’s most urgent issue, but a Gallup poll asking an open-ended question found 2 percent of adults naming elections or democracy as the country’s top problem. Open-ended questions rely mainly on issues at the top of voters’ minds, but can miss other issues that they have strong feelings about.

In addition, the connection to how people vote is shaky.

When we ask people questions and collect their answers, are those answers actually valid? Would we get the same results if those same people came into a laboratory and we measured their responses with a lie detector?

One study by Thomas J. Leeper and Joshua Robison analyzed 48 issues across presidential elections from 1980 to 2008 to see whether voters who said an issue was important based their vote on those issues. The results were inconsistent: issue importance mattered in some cases, but in many other cases it did not.

Your questions!

Thanks to the more than 50 readers who sent in questions or ideas about polling! I look forward to writing about all of them in the coming months, but Cynthia's query seems perfect to start with:

Q: I have often wondered about the legitimacy of polls because I don't know who or how people are selected to participate. So

1. How are people selected?

2. How can I participate? A: There are two main sampling approaches. Random or probability-based samples start with a “sampling frame” that includes everyone in the target population, such as the U.S. Postal Service’s address file or a state’s list of registered voters. A poll contacts a random sample from that frame using one or more methods, such as by phone, text, email or phone. Actual samples are more complex to overcome the fact that the frame is usually missing contact information for many people, or that certain types of people are more likely to respond.

Non-probability or opt-in online samples are the second main way polls recruit respondents, using online ads that offer rewards or payment for taking surveys.

While some polls recruit respondents for a single interview, survey panels that recruit respondents for multiple surveys are increasingly common. Some panels recruit panel members using non-probability methods, while others use random sampling.

2. How can I participate?

While anyone can sign up to take online surveys through an opt-in survey company, there's no way to volunteer for surveys conducted using random sampling. Survey methods have changed dramatically since the early 2000s, with a massive growth in opt-in online surveys and decline in live-caller phone polls, as documented by the Pew Research Center.

In a future article, I'll look at how different methods compare in accuracy.

Worth your attention

A Democratic senator more popular with Republicans — Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is a Democrat, but you wouldn't know it from a New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College poll released this week.

Just 22 percent of Democratic registered voters rated Fetterman favorably, while 73 percent of Republicans rated him favorably. Those results mark a turnabout since 2024, when 74 percent of Democrats had a positive view of Fetterman compared with 25 percent of Republicans.

The Times noted that Fetterman has frequently appeared in conservative news media criticizing his fellow Democrats as too liberal, “turning himself into something of a modern-day political wrestling heel.”

The latest poll was conducted Aug. 17-21 among a random sample of 760 Pennsylvania registered voters sampled from a statewide voter list, with live interviewers calling cellphones and landlines. The margin of sampling error was plus/minus-4.5 percentage points.

Judge issues new block on Trump's sweeping limits on mail-in ballots

The legal fight over the controversial measure is expected to continue

BY JUSTIN JOUVENAL

A federal judge in Massachusetts on Thursday once again blocked major pieces of the Trump administration's plan to impose sweeping restrictions on mail-in voting for November's elections, but the legal fight will continue.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a temporary restraining order halting parts of the effort that would bar the U.S. Postal Service from delivering mail-in ballots to voters not on a list of citizens created by federal agencies. It also requires mail-in ballot envelopes to have barcodes to thwart fraud.

The Trump administration notified the court Friday that it planned to appeal Talwani's ruling.

The judge's move continues a week of intense legal action over the controversial executive order on mail-in voting issued by President Donald Trump. It is the subject of multiple legal challenges.

Trump has claimed voting by noncitizens is rampant, while court records and independent studies have found it to be rare.

Talwani said it would be impossible for many states to issue new envelopes for voting by mail, since some are supposed to send out ballots as early as next week. She also said the Trump administration had presented no evidence that noncitizen voting is a major issue.

The League of Women Voters and other voting rights groups are challenging the administration's initiative, saying the measure could inject chaos into pivotal races that will decide control of the House and Senate.

Talwani echoed those concerns.

"The USPS's interest in correcting an unsubstantiated problem through likely unconstitutional means is dwarfed by the overwhelming risk of pervasive disenfranchisement of citizens who need access to mail ballots in order to vote," Talwani wrote.

A worker processes mail-in ballots at the Bucks County Board of Elections in Pennsylvania in 2020.

In a separate challenge to the executive order brought by 23 states and the District of Columbia, the Supreme Court on Monday found the plaintiffs' lawsuit was premature because the U.S. Postal Service had yet to issue final rules for how the order would be carried out.

After those rules were finalized Wednesday, the states and D.C. filed a new lawsuit challenging the executive order.

The injunction Talwani issued Thursday marked the second time she has blocked the executive order in the case brought by the voting rights groups. She lifted the earlier injunction after finding the Supreme Court's logic applied to that case as well, but allowed the plaintiffs to ask for a new block.

Ultimately, the issue could end up before the Supreme Court again, but even if the admin-

Report finds flaws in hunt for college shooter who later killed again

The findings raise questions about whether the assailant at Brown University could have been identified before he went on to kill an MIT professor

BY TODD WALLACK

The search for the Brown University shooter who killed two students and wounded nine others last December was complicated by a fragmented system for collecting and sifting through tips, delayed access to video from university cameras and valuable time spent investigating the wrong person, according to a report released Friday.

The findings, contained in a review commissioned by the city of Providence, Rhode Island, raise questions about whether law enforcement could have identified the shooter earlier, before he went on to kill a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor near Boston.

"There's all kinds of things that we know now that we didn't and couldn't have known then," Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said in an interview. "But the ability to access additional video feeds and then to get that information out into the public to help with an identification, any of those little things could have helped."

The shooting at Brown kicked off a five-day search for the killer.

A man burst into a classroom at the Ivy League school shortly after 4 p.m. on Dec. 13 and opened fire on students studying for an economics final exam. Ella Cook, 19, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, were killed. Two days later, the man fatally shot MIT professor Nuno Loureiro at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Police at the time did not know who committed the shootings, if they were related or whether the killer might strike again.

Law enforcement officers eventually tracked down the suspect's rental car — in part thanks to a tip from a Brown alumnus publicly identified only as “John” who shared what he saw on Reddit and later with police.

That breakthrough helped police identify the shooter as Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student who decades ago probably attended classes in the same building where the shooting occurred.

Valente was a former physics student from Portugal who attended graduate school at Brown for three semesters before taking a leave of absence in 2001 and formally withdrawing in 2003. Before that, he and Loureiro studied in the same physics program in Lisbon.

Authorities used financial records to identify Valente's storage unit in New Hampshire, where they ultimately found his body and videos confessing to both shootings. A medical examiner determined Valente had died by suicide about two days before he was found.

The FBI said Valente did not reveal a motive in the videos. He was unemployed at the time, and the FBI said Brown and the MIT professor probably represented his personal failures and perceived injustices.

The after-action report was commissioned by the city and written by the Police Executive Research Forum, a D.C.-based nonprofit that provides guidance to law enforcement.

Overall, the report praises the city's response to the shooting. It noted that Providence police and fire units arrived at the scene five minutes after the first 911 call. And the nonprofit found that the investigation and operational response demonstrated a “disciplined and effective approach.”

But the report also identified challenges.

Providence detectives did not immediately have access to Brown's cameras, because they were separate from the city's and did not feed into the Providence Police Department's Real-Time Crime Center. The report also said there were further delays obtaining Brown's surveillance video because of unidentified "access-related issues" at the school's Department of Public Safety.

Once detectives saw the video, they noticed the shooter stood out: Cameras captured him calmly walking away from the scene while others frantically fled.

The report also said Brown officials initially told Providence detectives that campus shuttle buses could not record video. That proved incorrect, delaying access to additional footage showing where the shooter was

headed.

Had Providence police in the crime center had real-time access to Brown's cameras, "it is possible that the assailant could have been identified and tracked as he left campus," the report said.

Brown spokesman Brian Clark said the school is “committed to the strong collaboration and coordination with Providence and other local agencies.”

After publication of this story, the university released its own report Friday afternoon that said the school hopes to reach an agreement to join the city's Real-Time Crime Center, allowing it to share video with Providence police in real time.

The city's report also notes that investigators spent significant resources investigating the wrong person after the shooting. The FBI had detained a 24-year-old Wisconsin man at a Hampton Inn southwest of Providence for hours before concluding he was not involved. That temporarily narrowed the focus of the investigation, the report found.

To prepare for future emergencies, the report lists 18 recommendations, some of which the city says it has already implemented or begun to do so. Those suggestions include creating a new system to manage tips after a major incident, integrating Brown's cameras with Providence's crime center, and building a better structure for investigations involving multiple agencies.

“This isn’t a victory lap,” said Smiley, the mayor. “I want the community to know that we’ve asked hard questions of ourselves and we’re going to be making changes.”

Smiley and the city's report also noted that Valente took steps to avoid detection, including replacing his rental car's Florida license plate with one stolen from Maine, complicating efforts to track him down.

Still, the report leaves questions, such as whether the shooting could have been averted.

Three students who were injured in the shooting sued the university in state court in April, alleging the school bears partial responsibility.

The students' lawsuits contend Brown had inadequate security for an urban campus — including key gaps in its camera coverage.

The filings also note a Brown custodian tried to alert campus security after spotting Valente hanging around the building roughly a dozen times in the weeks before the shooting, including peering into classrooms. They say Brown did not act on that information. The law firm representing the students declined to comment.

Brown said its own external review concluded it was “highly unlikely” it could have prevented the December shooting.

In addition, the university said it has already taken steps to improve its security on campus, including adding more than 700 cameras. It expects to have a total of roughly 2,000 cameras in place by the time the fall semester begins next month.

The city's report did not cover what happened before the attacks or whether they could have been prevented. Smiley said that's because the report was focused on the city's response to the Brown shooting.

The mayor also said he thought the custodian's report appeared to go nowhere because it was made to a private security contractor, rather than Brown or Providence police. Brown said its review found no evidence that the custodian relayed his concerns about the suspicious person resembling Valente to his supervisor or Brown's public safety office.

Another question is whether John, the reportedly homeless Brown alumnus who helped identify the shooter, ever received the \$50,000 reward offered by the FBI for tips leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

In December, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that John's tip "blew this case right open," and the Providence mayor urged the FBI to give him the reward, even though the suspect could not be convicted of the crimes because he was dead.

The FBI declined to say whether it paid out the reward money, citing its long-standing policy, and John did not respond to a message via Reddit.

Smiley said he hasn't heard whether John ever received the reward.

“I don’t think I’ll ever know if he did,” Smiley said.

Pa. governor accuses health secretary of sowing confusion

BY RACHEL ROUBEIN, LENA H. SUN AND CAITLIN GILBERT

Minutes before a news conference announcing two measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) had a heated call with the Trump administration's top health official.

Before television cameras on Tuesday, the governor accused Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of sowing confusion about vaccines and contributing to the return of a disease the United States eliminated more than a quarter-century ago. Shapiro said he told Kennedy that the state did not want additional help from the federal government.

The exchange has erupted into an extraordinary public feud and set off a partisan flurry of accusations over outbreaks of the highly contagious disease, which is easily prevented by a vaccine. Shapiro and Kennedy have traded lengthy barbs on social media, accusing each other of fearmongering.

Scrutiny of Shapiro's announcement deepened Thursday, after a county coroner said that the pathologist who examined a newborn who tested positive for measles did not believe the virus played a role in the baby's death. Shapiro's administration offered no details about the two people who died beyond describing them as unvaccinated Lancaster County residents.

On Friday afternoon, Shapiro's office said the governor stood "firmly" by his earlier comments.

"At no point was the Pennsylvania Department of Health told by the coroner that this was not a measles-associated death," spokeswoman Rosie Lapowsky said in a statement.

Kennedy and his allies have accused Shapiro's administration of prematurely declaring that the outbreak had turned deadly. Some infectious-disease experts normally critical of Kennedy said Shapiro and his team should have offered more information from the start.

Democrats and public health experts contend that Kennedy — the founder of a prominent anti-vaccine group — has downplayed outbreaks of measles, and that his rhetoric over the years has undermined vaccination that could prevent or control the outbreaks. Some have gone so far as to blame Kennedy for several measles-associated deaths during President Donald Trump's second term.

Kennedy has a lengthy history of disparaging vaccines, including at a 2021 appearance in undervaccinated Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where state health officials reported the two deaths. In response to criticism about Kennedy's history of anti-vaccine activism, the White House often notes that Kennedy, as health secretary, has said that vaccination is “the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles” and that parents should get their children vaccinated for measles. Some public health experts have said Kennedy has muddled that message by falsely claiming that the vaccines are not safety tested.

The back-and-forth over Pennsylvania's measles outbreak offers an early glimpse of how vaccines, infectious diseases and trust in government could become defining issues in the next presidential campaign. Democrats positioning themselves for 2028 have been eager to show they are taking on the Trump administration, and many embrace vaccines as a bipartisan general-election issue and an opportunity to depict Republicans as out of touch with science.

“Americans are DYING from measles — a preventable disease — because Trump and RFK Jr. have decimated trust in vaccines,” Sen. Patty Murray (D-Washington) posted on X.

Shapiro, a governor in a presidential swing state who is cruising to reelection in November, is widely expected to run for president. Kennedy, who ran for president as an independent in 2024, has batted down speculation he would launch another campaign.

“Secretary Kennedy has stoked confusion amongst parents and others — and the result has been less protection from measles and more cases,” Shapiro posted Wednesday on X.

Kennedy has used his personal and official government social media accounts to contend that Shapiro is using the moment for political gain. He suggested that the deaths “may even have been altogether fabricated by one of the Governor’s hopeful staffers.”

“Governor Shapiro’s unseemly rush to Lancaster County to convene a national press conference and his giddy delight in announcing two measles deaths was a morose commentary on the contemporary political dialogue,” Kennedy wrote on social media Wednesday.

As of Thursday, left-wing political influencers were talking about measles about five times more often than right-wing figures, according to a Washington Post analysis of their social media posts, podcasts and newsletters. The frequency of the mentions this week by the left is the highest since early 2025 during the West Texas measles outbreak, which infected more than 700 people and contributed to the deaths of two unvaccinated children.

In response to questions from The Post, Democratic House candidates in competitive Pennsylvania districts rallied behind Shapiro in his feud with Kennedy. Shapiro has focused his midterm strategy on boosting their campaigns, and victories would shore up his political brand ahead of a White House run.

“Public health is going to be very important in the debate for who becomes the next president,” said Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D), a family physician and fierce critic of Kennedy. He said he and Shapiro have discussed launching a national vaccination campaign.

Pennsylvania political strategists and other state Democrats cautioned against interpreting Shapiro's comments about Kennedy as presidential positioning, arguing that any governor confronting a ballooning outbreak with hundreds of infections would be obligated to challenge federal messaging he or she believed was harming residents.

"He's absolutely doing the responsible thing and calling it out, and not just letting RFK say what he wants to say," said Susan Wild, a former Democratic congresswoman from Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania measles outbreak also shows the tricky politics of public health, which has become increasingly polarized since the coronavirus pandemic and the rise of anti-vaccine misinformation. Shapiro has come under fire for how his administration has communicated about the deaths with unusually sparse detail that was contradicted by some local officials.

Lancaster County Coroner Stephen Diamantoni said in an interview that officials discovered signs of a measles infection in a newborn who died of a spleen laceration hours after birth on Aug. 14.

But Diamantoni said the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy did not believe measles played a role in the death. The coroner said his office shared this information with the state health department hours before Shapiro's announcement.

State health officials have said they classify deaths as “measles-associated” when the virus is present, even if the disease is not identified as the immediate cause of death.

Several infectious-disease experts said the governor, along with his health department, should have initially released more information about the deaths, such as the age of those infected. Instead, others including anti-vaccine activists have filled the void.

“A vacuum in public health information never stays empty — it gets filled by whoever moves fastest and cares least about accuracy,” Amesh Adalja, an infectious-disease physician in the Pittsburgh area, said in a text message. “The state and Gov. Shapiro’s communication failures and opacity invited RFK Jr and his allies in by engraved invitation and they now control the narrative while an unchecked measles outbreak spreads throughout the state.”

Measles cases grow

Measles cases in Pennsylvania, which reached 460 cases on Friday, began climbing during the summer, prompting state officials to warn of potential exposures at local stores and to host pop-up vaccination clinics. The U.S. would soon report the most measles cases in any year since 1991, outpacing last year's total with months of 2026 left to go.

Most children recover after several days of fever, cough and an itchy rash, but the disease can also cause pneumonia, brain swelling, deafness and intellectual disability. Fatalities have become extraordinarily rare, with nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children infected dying of respiratory and neurologic complications, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On Tuesday, state health department officials said they had confirmed two measles-associated deaths of individuals who were not vaccinated. The deaths in Lancaster County were the first related to measles in Pennsylvania in 35 years, they said, and the first deaths reported this year in the U.S.

At the press conference, Shapiro and health officials repeatedly said they would not be providing additional information to protect patient privacy.

Diamantoni, a Republican family doctor first elected coroner in 2007, said one of those cases was a newborn who died in a birthing center after a delivery with a midwife. The case, which state officials later confirmed was one of the two they announced, is still under investigation and does not bear the hallmarks of a measles death, he said.

Measles can cause significant inflammation to the spleen, making it more fragile and susceptible to life-threatening rupture, the state health department said Thursday. Diamantoni, who was not at the autopsy, said the pathologist told him the spleen was not enlarged and not inflamed.

begin with?" said Offit, who has been in touch with state health officials about the case.

But some have cast doubt on how the coroner could be so definitive. Paul Offit, an infectious-diseases physician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said that once a spleen is ruptured, it's difficult to tell whether it was enlarged. "If you find a deflated balloon, can you really tell how large it was to

The differing accounts prompted a Republican Lancaster County commissioner to lambaste the state's handling of the death announcement.

“You cannot drop a bombshell like this and then essentially say all the information around it is top secret,” Josh Parsons, the commissioner, said in a lengthy X post on Thursday. Parsons did not respond to requests for comment.

Public health agencies generally provide basic information about the victims of disease outbreaks, such as age, gender and whether they had underlying health conditions, but with varying degrees of detail.

"The only way to remedy the confusing communication about these tragic deaths is to provide adequate information that clarifies the medical circumstances of those individuals while respecting the families at this difficult time," said Demetre Daskalakis, the former director of the CDC center that oversees immunization and respiratory viruses, including measles, who resigned a year ago to protest what he called Kennedy's politicization of science.

Will Simons, a spokesman for Shapiro, defended the limited disclosures as protecting patient confidentiality while promoting public health through quick disclosure of deaths. He said safeguarding patients' information helps public health officials maintain the trust of their communities.

On Friday, Shapiro said the health department has shared all the information that it's permitted to under state law, and that “those two deaths were measles related.” He said his health department is in “regular communication with the CDC and other federal agencies.”

“What does not serve the public interest right now is getting into a back-and-forth with people online who are spewing irresponsible conspiracy theories,” Shapiro said at a news conference announcing new funding for repairs to a local police department and municipal building.

A spokeswoman for Kennedy responded to questions by pointing to a CDC post on social media that said the agency was ready to help Pennsylvania respond to the outbreak. The CDC said Kennedy was trying to “clarify conflicting information” about the reported deaths and faulted the governor’s office for not providing information and declining offers of assistance. Pennsylvania officials disputed this account.

“Accuracy is critical to reliable national data, transparency, and public trust,” the CDC said on X.

Declining vaccination rates

Pennsylvania's outbreak has unfolded as childhood measles vaccination rates have fallen statewide.

The share of kindergartners vaccinated against measles in Pennsylvania fell from 96.4 percent in 2019 to 93.2 percent in 2025, and vaccination rates have plummeted across much of the country since before the pandemic.

In Lancaster County, that drop was much steeper, with the rate falling from nearly 95 percent — the level experts consider necessary to prevent an infection from triggering an outbreak

— to about 87 percent in the 2025-2026 school year. Over this same period, families seeking philosophical and religious exemptions from vaccine requirements doubled to 4.7 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively.

Lancaster is also home to the nation's largest Amish community, which had a vaccination rate around 25 percent several years ago, according to state data. State officials have not said whether the outbreak is concentrated in Amish people.

Major Democratic rapid-response accounts like FactPost and Headquarters, as well as Democratic politicians, circulated a video clip of Kennedy downplaying measles during an appearance in Lancaster County in 2021.

“I am a measles survivor,” Kennedy, then the head of an anti-vaccine group, said to laughs from the crowd. “We had to stay home and watch TV the whole week with all of my brothers and sisters.”

He claimed, as he often had, that the cure for measles was chicken soup and vitamin A. And he warned some in the audience that government officials would do everything in their power to make them vaccinated.

Arrests of immigrants with no criminal record soar

ICE officers are shifting their targets and tactics to increase detentions

BY DAVID NAKAMURA AND EMMANUEL MARTINEZ

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is detaining more immigrants who do not have a criminal record than at any other point since President Donald Trump returned to the White House last year, according to newly released government data.

Trump officials have consistently stated that their goal is to keep Americans safe by targeting enforcement against “the worst of the worst” — undocumented immigrants who have committed violent crimes or repeated offenses. The new data, however, shows that more than half of all the people ICE arrested in July did not have a criminal record, the highest single-month total since January 2025.

The shift toward targeting more people with civil immigration violations but no criminal charges has helped ICE achieve record numbers of overall arrests. In all, federal authorities detained more than 49,000 migrants in July, the highest total during Trump's second administration, according to a Washington Post analysis of government data. The ICE arrest data was made public by the Deportation Data Project, an outside group that obtained the material though a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Immigration lawyers and analysts said the numbers reflect the Department of Homeland Security's evolving approach as officials rush to fulfill Trump's goals for the mass deportation campaign and more people lose protections shielding them from removal. The administration has canceled temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who fled dangerous countries and also arrested people with pending asylum claims and green-card applications who were not previously a target for enforcement.

"There is pressure on ICE to arrest more people and that leads them to stop trying to go after the worst of the worst and arrest the person who is easiest to locate on any given day," said Julia Gelatt, an analyst at the Migration Policy Institute. "When Americans think of who they'd like to see ICE focus on, they think bad guys — murders and others serious criminals. They do not think about people who broke immigration laws and are otherwise law-abiding."

In an email response to questions from The Post, a DHS spokesperson said the information used for this story has “not been reviewed, audited or given context” and said it is being used to “peddle a false narrative.” The spokesperson claimed that nearly 70 percent of the people ICE has arrested have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, a figure the agency has cited repeatedly since last year.

“Every single one of these individuals committed a crime when they came into this country illegally,” the spokesperson said.

In fact, many of those detained entered the country legally, for example, on a visa that has since expired. Those individuals are generally facing civil immigration violations, not criminal charges, and they have increasingly become a focus of enforcement operations.

ICE has steadily ramped up detentions since arrests dropped below 30,000 in February amid public outrage over the killings the previous month of two American citizens, Renée Good and Alex Pretti, by immigration officers in Minneapolis.

Since then, the number of people being detained has risen each month, climbing to more than 42,500 in June and increasing again in July, the federal data shows.

The jump coincides with a major expansion of DHS's enforcement capabilities made possible after Congress last year approved more than \$170 billion in additional funding. The administration has hired thousands of additional ICE and Border Patrol officers, purchased new surveillance technology and added more immigrant detention facilities.

The administration has also been expanding where and how it makes arrests. New partnerships with scores of local law enforcement agencies, many in conservative areas of the country, have allowed ICE to deputize officers and assist them in making immigration arrests.

"The spikes are happening at airports and everywhere they can," said Margy O'Herron, an expert on national security and immigration law at the Brennan Center for Justice. "They are canceling visas for people who apply for asylum, folks who had some protection from deportation before — people who the government knows who they are and knows where they live.”

ICE has arrested more than half a million people since Trump returned to office, and nearly 40 percent do not have a criminal record. As of Aug. 6, ICE had detained more people without a criminal record this year than in all of 2025. The administration has also already exceeded the number of people ICE detained during all of President Joe Biden's presidency, as well as Trump's first term and President Barack Obama's last.

Art Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for stricter immigration controls, said the added resources at DHS have led to more arrests. He noted that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has increased efforts to persuade undocumented immigrants to voluntarily leave the country, including through cash stipends of \$2,600.

Immigrants would not be willing to take that offer if there was no legitimate threat of being

“You’re not going to get non-criminal aliens who have been here three years to leave unless there is a threat of enforcement,” he said.

The killings of Good and Pretti in Minneapolis led to a sharp drop in public support for Trump's deportation agenda. The backlash contributed to the president's decision to install Mullin as Homeland Security secretary. He replaced Kristi L. Noem, whose leadership was marked by a spate of officer-involved shootings and large-scale ICE and Border Patrol raids in U.S. cities.

Mullin has pursued what he characterized as a quieter approach that is focused less on showy displays of force.

The White House has pressed DHS to arrest at least 2,000 migrants a day, a target ICE achieved on four days over the summer. On July 13, an ICE officer fatally shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian immigrant, during a traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine.

ICE has maintained a high pace of arrests since then, averaging nearly 1,500 detentions a day, the data shows.

Democrats have assailed the administration's approach, saying federal officers have terrorized immigrant communities, including children and the elderly. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said Tuesday that “a mere fraction” of more than 1,300 people detained by ICE in the past two weeks have criminal records.

Moore said his state would work with the federal government to apprehend violent offenders. But he said the broad targeting of immigrants has undermined the economy and frayed trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement.

"It does not make us safer," Moore said in a statement.

In six states, arrests of immigrants without criminal records have more than doubled thus far in 2026 compared to all of last year. The largest jump has come in Maine, where ICE arrested 125 people in 2025 and already has detained about 330 this year. Arrests in Alabama, Wyoming, Idaho, Mississippi and Missouri also more than doubled.

Arrests decreased in more than 20 states, with the largest decline coming in the District of Columbia. ICE surged operations in the nation's capital last year and, all told, arrested 1,200 people without criminal records in 2025. This year, ICE has thus far arrested 72 such immigrants in the city.

Traders anticipate interest rate hike by Fed as Warsh plays it close to the vest

Federal chair Kevin Warsh in Wyoming on Friday. He doubled down on refusing to provide “forward guidance” on future Fed moves.

INFLATION FROM A1

Warsh, 56, hailed developments in artificial intelligence as a “hinge point in history” that offered the “potential for substantially higher growth.” But that long-term promise is eclipsed for now by the need to vanquish inflation, he said.

"The Fed's predominant focus right now should be on prices," Warsh said. "We must be confident that underlying inflation is moving to our objective, clearly and at sufficient speed. Otherwise, we have work to do."

Warsh endorsed the Fed's traditional inflation goal of an annual 2 percent rise in prices, according to the personal consumption expenditures index (PCE), calling it “a firm fixed target.”

Over the past six months, almost half of the individual product prices that the Fed tracks have increased at an annual rate of more than 3 percent. That share is down from the pandemic high point but “is still quite elevated,” Warsh said.

The central bank chief also responded to critics who questioned his inflation-fighting plan by saying the Fed's control over short-term interest rates remained “the predominant tool” to achieve its goals. His embrace of rate-setting and the PCE index appeared aimed at clarifying remarks he made at his news conference in July, which suggested alternatives deserved consideration.

But Warsh doubled down on his controversial strategy of refusing to provide “forward guidance” about future Fed moves. “A quieter Fed,” he said, will be better able to steer the economy to stable prices and full employment.

"Transparency in communications about future policy decisions is not a virtue unto itself. Communications must be in service to the Fed's paramount responsibility: getting monetary policy right," Warsh said.

In the run-up to Friday's speech, investors were eager for any hint of Warsh's thinking on when and if the Fed might raise short-term interest rates. His continued haziness on that point seemed to frustrate some in the audience.

Michael Strain, a former Fed economist, said Warsh had made similar comments in July while opposing an interest-rate increase. While his remarks Friday suggested that the Fed would eventually raise rates if inflation did not subside, Warsh offered no hint of the likely timing or what additional evidence he required before acting, said Strain, who is now with the American Enterprise Institute, a center-right think tank.

“Markets are looking for clarity,” Strain said. “You don’t know the timing that he has in mind about when the Fed should respond to the combination of a full employment economy with inflation stuck above target.”

Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said Warsh was suggesting that “the best thing to do is to make up your mind at the last minute in a nontransparent way which has no consistent record” of success.

The yield on the two-year Treasury note, which is most sensitive to Fed rate increases, rose to 4.31 percent as Warsh was speaking, compared to 4.23 percent before he began. Stock markets were largely flat.

Warsh's remarks were among the most highly anticipated by any Fed chair at the central bank's annual late-summer conference, which is hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and draws global central bankers, economists and journalists to Wyoming's spectacular Grand Tetons.

Since taking over from his predecessor, Jerome H. Powell, Warsh has been unsparing in his criticism of the Fed for failing to control inflation, which has been elevated for more than five years, since the covid pandemic. In a nod perhaps to the populist president who appointed him to his job, Warsh said “hardworking Americans,” not “financial highfliers,” are suffering the most from the Fed’s failure to bring inflation under control.

The chair faces a daunting landscape. He leads a divided Fed with at least three members of its rate-setting committee on record supporting an increase in interest rates to slow rising prices. Long-term bond yields have ticked higher this month amid concerns over the nation's \$40 trillion gross public debt. And Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has intervened in financial markets in a way that some analysts say could conflict with Warsh's goals.

While managing those immediate concerns, Warsh seeks to pilot the economy through an era of epic change. The rules-based global order constructed at the end of World War II is breaking down as the United States and other nations seek greater self-sufficiency. And a disruptive new technology, artificial intelligence, is reshaping markets and economies at a rapid clip.

After his tight-lipped news conference late last month, analysts at investment banks including JPMorgan said Warsh's refusal to elaborate on how he planned to fight inflation raised doubts about whether he was willing to raise short-term borrowing costs to do so. Those concerns were amplified by President Donald Trump's vocal insistence that rates should move down, not up, under the new Fed chair.

But Warsh said he is determined to force investors to make their own decisions independent of expectations about moves by the nation's central bank. Although forward guidance was “essential” during the 2008 financial crisis, he said Friday, “I believe the practice has outstayed its welcome.”

Financial markets have shown little concern about Warsh's public reticence. Inflation expectations are little changed since the day he was sworn in as Fed chair. Volatility in stock and bond trading also has remained within normal ranges, according to standard market measures.

Recent economic data suggesting an improved outlook for the economy may explain part of the recent uptick in bond yields. While the economy grew at an unremarkable annual rate of 1.5 percent in the second quarter, underlying measures of activity were far stronger, according to a Commerce Department update this week.

Final sales to private domestic purchasers, which some economists consider a better gauge of the economy's condition, rose by an updated 4.2 percent compared with an initial estimate of 3.9 percent, the Commerce Department said. Both consumer spending and business investment are keeping the economy aloft.

A separate report showed that inflation remained elevated in July, with the Fed's preferred gauge up 3.7 percent from the same month one year ago. That pace was unchanged from June, but it remained well above the Fed's 2 percent target.

At its last meeting in July, the Fed policymaking committee left short-term interest rates unchanged. But three voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee dissented from the 9-person majority that favored keeping rates in the current 3.5 percent to 3.75 percent range.

Trump denied in hush money case

President's latest bid to erase his conviction is rejected by a federal judge

BY JEREMY ROEBUCK

A federal judge on Friday rejected President Donald Trump's latest bid to erase his hush money conviction, ruling he had waited too long to try to move the case to federal court where his lawyers have argued he would enjoy broader immunities from prosecution.

U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said that if Trump's legal team wanted to pursue that option, they should have done so shortly after the May 2024 guilty verdict in New York state court.

They waited nearly two months while first petitioning the New York state judge overseeing the case to throw out the conviction based on the 2024 Supreme Court ruling that granted presidents broad protections from prosecution for official actions they took while in office.

But even if Trump had made that push in a timely fashion, there was no legal basis for removal, Hellerstein concluded.

"The grounds for ... removal cited by Defendant, Donald J. Trump, are neither new nor legally sufficient," the judge wrote.

"He has failed to show good cause and diligence."

A spokesperson for Trump's legal team, in a statement, called Hellerstein's decision “baseless and lawless.” Within hours, the president's attorneys filed notice they would appeal.

"The Supreme Court's historic decision on Immunity, the Federal and New York State Constitutions, and other established legal precedent mandate that the Witch Hunt perpetrated by the Manhattan DA be removed to federal court, and immediately overturned and dismissed," the spokesperson's statement read.

A New York jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, whose allegations of an affair with Trump threatened to upend his 2016 presidential campaign.

He was sentenced, shortly before the start of his second term, to an unconditional discharge, sparing him prison time but leaving his conviction in place. Trump has denied Daniels's claims and that he committed any crimes.

Hellerstein, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, has twice denied similar bids from Trump to move the case to federal courts — first after he was indicted; then again after his conviction.

The judge's decision Friday came after a federal appeals court sent the question back to Hellerstein last year, saying the judge needed to more carefully consider whether some of the evidence used in Trump's trial would have been deemed in-admissible under the Supreme

Court's immunity ruling.

In his decision Friday, Hellerstein was unequivocal on that point.

"There is no way that discussions regarding hush money payments to cover up the President's relations with Stormy Daniels could be an official act,"

he wrote. “An affair, or a cover-up of an affair, is not within the ‘outer perimeter’ of the President’s official responsibilities.”

In addition to the matter before Hellerstein, the president has also asked a New York state appellate court to overturn the conviction.

Americans have turned against law enforcement's use of AI-powered cameras

Demonstrators this month protested the use of Flock surveillance cameras in Lafayette, Indiana. Flock has faced widespread criticism.

A Flock camera. Flock has installed more than 120,000 of them nationwide since 2017.

FLOCK FROM A1

tial for invasive monitoring and police misuse.

The cameras have been widely promoted as a crime-fighting breakthrough by private companies such as Flock, which since 2017 has installed more than 120,000 of them nationwide. But in a YouGov survey shared exclusively with The Washington Post, Americans said the systems wouldn't make them feel any safer and they were reluctant to have the cameras installed near their homes.

Those findings follow a spike in online criticism of Flock by prominent right- and left-wing accounts, which exploded in early summer around the same time that some Republicans derided the technology as part of a “mass surveillance network,” according to a Post analysis of podcast appearances, speeches and social media posts.

Since then, right-wing accounts have posted about Flock cameras more than three times as often as left-wing ones, the analysis found. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on crime and counterterrorism, posted dozens of times about launching a federal investigation into the technology's use. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) posted last month on X, "Mass Surveillance + Government + AI is a very, very bad combo for freedom."

The companies and their defenders say the cameras help stop kidnappings, find fugitives and investigate violent attacks. Nearly 40 percent of the nation's roughly 18,000 law enforcement agencies have contracts with Flock, said the company, which claims that its systems help officers investigate 1 million crimes per year.

The tools have also raised concern because they record the movements of innocent people and can be transformed into personal spy devices. The Post reported this month that at least 69 police officials have been accused, charged with or convicted of misusing license-plate readers for unauthorized purposes, including to stalk their girlfriends or ex-wives.

Though Democrats and Republicans differed on some questions of personal privacy and police power, the YouGov survey found broad bipartisan consensus for the idea that police should need a warrant before accessing license-plate data, with about three-quarters of Democrats and roughly 6 in 10 independents and Republicans agreeing.

Officers do not currently need a warrant to search most license-plate-reader systems, which can include months of location records for cars, even those thousands of miles away. Proponents of the systems say a warrant requirement would hamstring the systems' effectiveness during emergencies.

A Flock spokesman disputed some of YouGov's questions, saying the firm had not explained the technology in a neutral way, and said other polls had found broader support for license-plate readers when their investigative benefits were more clearly stated.

“We know from our data and from customers we hear from every day that there is wide support for ALPR technology,” the spokesman said in a statement.

Flock chief executive Garrett Langley has publicly defended its system in interviews, saying the company has implemented safeguards to combat abuse and that the tool is vital to protecting Americans' security and peace of mind.

"When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing the wrong thing," he told Fox News last week. "What we have to prioritize as a country is compromise."

The Post also shared the survey's findings with some of the country's other major sellers of license-plate readers, including Axon, Motorola Solutions and

Leonardo. The companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Automated license-plate readers, known as ALPRs, have scanned major roadways from tollbooths and police cruisers for more than two decades. But Flock's pursuit of small-town contracts and its low-cost subscription model have fueled a recent boom in installations for the shoebox-size cameras and made them increasingly prominent on Americans' daily commutes.

The systems saw broad support as recently as last year, but protests and recent reporting on misuse cases have coincided with a reversal of public sentiment. A YouGov survey this week of approximately 20,000 U.S. adults found that 46 percent said they oppose the technology being used in their communities, compared with 38 percent support.

When asked the same question last year, 33 percent voiced opposition and 45 percent voiced support. The change was largely driven by a spike in opposition among Democrats and independents, with only a slight uptick in Republicans' disapproval, the survey said.

In a separate YouGov survey of about 1,000 U.S. adults shared with The Post, Americans were roughly split on their support for the license-plate readers being installed in their communities but narrowly opposed the cameras being installed on the streets where they lived.

Many said they were not sold on the companies' promises of stopping crime. About 43 percent said the systems would make them feel "neither safer nor less safe," while 27 percent said they felt safer. Thirty-eight percent said they didn't believe the cameras reduced nearby crime, compared with 30 percent who did.

Just over half said protecting people's privacy was more important than giving law enforcement more tools to address crime. And more than 4 in 10 said they were concerned about government surveillance and police misconduct in their communities, ranking them as more serious problems than illegal immigration. About 70 percent said government surveillance had “increased a lot” over the past 25 years, with around half saying the monitoring was “too much.”

Americans broadly disagreed with the industry's business model, with 4 in 10 saying license-plate reader companies should not be allowed to charge police agencies for data access. Majorities said police should be allowed to use the cameras to track down stolen cars, find missing people or investigate violent crime, but many also said police should be banned from using the systems to track political protesters, non-U.S. citizens with temporary legal status, or pregnant women in abortion-restricted states.

While two-thirds of Americans said they believed officers often or sometimes used the cameras to solve crimes, more than 4 in 10 said they believed the cameras were also used to stalk or harass private citizens, or to build criminal cases against innocent people.

The YouGov surveys were conducted among U.S. adults through the firm's opt-in online panel, which was weighted to match population demographics, partisanship and the 2024 presidential vote.

The findings could galvanize a growing pushback in Congress across the political divide from senators such as Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), who has said Flock abuse is “not only likely but inevitable,” and representatives such as Andrew Clyde, a Republican from Flock’s corporate home state of Georgia, who said last month on X that “Flock cameras belong in Communist China, not the United States of America.”

Political candidates have also started to make camera misuse a part of their platform. Angie Nixon, a Democrat in the Florida House who is running for U.S. Senate, said in a TV interview this week, “I don’t want to defund the police, I want to defund Flock cameras so that bad cops don’t have the ability to stalk their ex-girlfriends.”

Cowgur, the council member in Centerton, said the neighbors he has talked to in his corner of the Bentonville suburbs have increasingly said they don't like the idea of information about their drives being recorded and stored in an online database. He added that he did not believe the cameras had helped solve a significant number of local crimes. The Centerton police did not respond to requests for comment.

When the city adopted the cameras, leaders thought “this was a way to really protect and serve the city,” he said. “Do you want somebody looking in your backyard 24 hours a day, or do you want to have a little bit of a wall of privacy, you know?”

About a decade ago, Neal Tomita started to lose his voice. He has Parkinson's, and voice and speech problems are a common issue, affecting up to 90 percent of people as the neurological disease advances.

His once-lively speech began to fade into a quiet mumble, and people struggled to understand him. He increasingly retreated into silence and became socially withdrawn, even from his wife.

“Neal and I used to have fabulous conversations about everything, and suddenly we didn’t. It got really lonely,” said Cheryl Lippman, who has been married to Tomita for 27 years. “Plus, I’m hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. It’s this cosmic joke: He speaks soft, and I can’t hear.”

Speech and voice changes are common in people with Parkinson's disease because the same neurological factors that cause tremors and stiffness in the body also affect muscles in the face, mouth and throat. To strengthen his voice, Tomita started going to speech therapy every month and completed speech treatment programs designed specifically for Parkinson's.

About two years ago, Tomita and Lippman together picked up an unexpected hobby that they say has helped him speak louder, communicate more confidently and reconnect with others: playing the harmonica.

"I never imagined that a simple harmonica could make such a meaningful difference in my life," said Tomita, who has no musical background. "It has helped me find my voice again."

Tomita and Lippman, both 79 and longtime residents of Oahu, Hawaii, are participants in the Harmonica Parkinson's Project, a program that teaches people with the progressive movement disorder how to play the harmonica with the goal of maintaining or improving speech.

The project is the brainchild of Kevin Lockette, a physical therapist based in Honolulu, who leads both in-person sessions and free virtual classes twice a month for anyone with Parkinson's and their care partners. No musical background is required.

"I've been working with Parkinson's for 30 years, but I've been playing harmonica for probably 40 years," said Lockette, co-owner of Ohana Pacific Rehab and vice president of the Hawai'i Parkinson Association. "People with Parkinson's often have problems with phonation, pitch, articulation and saliva management — and ironically, those are the things that you work on when you're playing the harmonica."

The idea of using music — and even the harmonica — to help people with Parkinson's isn't new. Music therapy, which can include activities such as singing, dancing and drumming, has been linked to improvements in movement symptoms, speech, cognitive issues and mental health for people with the condition.

Singing is thought to increase vocal strength and the ability to articulate words, and humming exercises may relax tense vocal folds. Music therapists and musicians have taught harmonica to groups of people with Parkinson's for years in an effort to increase respiratory function, lung capacity and loudness.

In the early 1990s — well before the days of Zoom — two Virginia musicians gave lessons and hundreds of free harmonicas to Parkinson's support groups across North America. And MusicWorx, a music therapy company based in San Diego, offers a 12-week harmonica class for people with Parkinson's and their care partners.

In May, Lockette and his colleagues presented the results of a pilot study at the World Parkinson Congress exploring harmonica lessons as a treatment for speech difficulties related to Parkinson's. In the study, researchers randomized 22 people with Parkinson's — including Tomita — into two groups: One joined in-person harmonica lessons twice a week for three months, and the other received traditional speech therapy.

A speech therapist and neurologist tested participants before and after the intervention to look for improvements in speech and other characteristics.

Although a small sample, the harmonica group showed greater improvements in factors such as speech intelligibility and average vocal intensity than the control group.

While a larger clinical trial is needed to prove whether there's a benefit, the study successfully demonstrated the feasibility — and joy — of group harmonica classes for Parkinson's.

“For the first time in a long while, I saw Neal smile with confidence as he played alongside others who truly understood what he was going through," said Lippman, one of four care partners who joined the lessons during the study. "It has not only improved Neal's speech, but it has also enriched both of our lives."

In traditional speech therapy for Parkinson's, the therapist helps patients focus on speaking louder and with purposeful effort by using daily exercises that include holding musical notes and repeating phrases. Neurologist Michael Okun, who was not involved in the research, believes that playing the harmonica in addition to speech therapy may have benefits for people with Parkinson's.

“Those musicians have to coordinate both their facial muscles and tongue movements, and that coordination can be good for diseases like Parkinsons,” said Okun, explaining that it also might help prevent aspiration pneumonia, a lung infection caused by inhaling food or liquid.

Parkinson's has become the fastest-growing neurological disorder in the world, with the number of people living with the disease more than doubling in the past 25 years. By 2050, an estimated 25.2 million people are projected to be living with the condition worldwide.

While speech impairments are common, the vast majority of people with Parkinson's do not receive speech therapy because of an overshadowing focus on movement-related issues, such as tremors, stiffness and slowness. And traditional speech exercises can be challenging for some to maintain on a daily basis.

"There are multiple guidelines out there saying that physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and swallow therapy are critical and should be used in Parkinson's disease," said Okun, executive director of the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases and medical adviser for the Parkinson's Foundation. "Only a small percentage of people actually utilize it."

Many people with Parkinson's and their loved ones say that communication challenges brought on by the disease is one of the hardest parts of living with it.

When Tomita was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 55, he and Lippman tried everything to combat his symptoms and delay the progression of the disease. Exercise is known to help slow those symptoms, and as an avid cyclist, he continued to ride around Oahu for many years, even completing the epic 100-mile Honolulu Century Ride. Over the years, the couple participated in boxing, Pilates, yoga, tai chi, aikido and water aerobics. Aside from staying active, he was prescribed medication and later underwent surgery for deep brain stimulation, which initially helped improve many of his movement symptoms.

When his voice started fading, Lippman took him to a speech-language pathologist for therapy sessions, and Tomita began daily exercises at home to maintain speech improvements.

Together, the couple continues to take part in virtual harmonica lessons. Lockette also posts free on-demand video lessons on the Harmonica Parkinson's Project's YouTube channel.

"The lessons are open to anyone that has Parkinson's and their caregivers — and actually, if other people want to join in, I don't tell anybody no," Lockette said. "Just make sure you have a harmonica in the key of C, and you're all good."

"I never imagined that a simple harmonica could make such a meaningful difference in my life. It has helped me find my voice again."

Schools, cities face cost of decades-old abuse claims

Officials and attorneys say a Los Angeles County \$4 billion settlement last year is the largest child sex abuse settlement in U.S. history.

Long-delayed justice comes with a financial reckoning

BY HANNAH KNOWLES

LOS ANGELES — For victims of child sex abuse, a 2019 California law expanding the time frame to sue brought long-delayed accountability.

For local governments paying the bills for employees' decades-old crimes, the litigation unleashed a financial nightmare.

Settlements broke records. Insurance costs for school districts spiked. One city declared “fiscal distress” after paying more than \$229 million over an ex-police dispatcher — more than a quarter of its annual budget.

Now, seven years after the law passed, California officials are wrestling with an uncomfortable question: Has the cost been too high?

“I fully support accountability ... but I also believe it has to be reasonable,” said Diana Rigby, the superintendent for a small school district in Carpinteria, California, that was sued over a principal convicted of molesting boys in the 1980s.

The school district sold property and borrowed money to settle its cases for \$5.75 million, she said. “And that’s costing me for the next 10 years.”

School associations and other groups have been pressing California legislators to place more restrictions on the right to sue. Lawmakers reached a last-minute deal on the issue this week, with days to go before they adjourn for the year. The amended bill would include anti-fraud measures and require more evidence in some cases, but it would not cap damages or change the statute of limitations. The changes fell short of what many local officials wanted.

"California stands with survivors, whose voices have shaped this process every step of the way, and the Legislature is taking action to defend and preserve survivors' path to justice — that is not negotiable," said California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D).

Victim advocates say they deserve justice, however delayed.

"The solution is not to cut the victims off," said Patrick McNicholas, a lead lawyer on a \$4 billion settlement last year with Los Angeles County. Officials and attorneys say it is the largest child sex abuse settlement in U.S. history.

The 2019 law, he said, "has done a tremendous amount of good."

Many states expanded child sex abuse victims' ability to sue in recent years, after the #MeToo movement stirred public outrage and raised new awareness of the reasons survivors might struggle to come forward. Some states, such as Maryland and Vermont, got rid of the statute of limitations entirely. Others created temporary windows for people victimized at any time to bring a lawsuit.

California previously allowed child sex abuse victims to sue up until the age of 26. The 2019 law changed that cutoff to 40 years old — or within five years of the date the victim discovers that sexual assault caused psychological injury. It also made it easier to sue local governments, officials say.

That paved the way for Jimmy Vigil, 46, to sue Los Angeles County. As a teenager in juvenile detention, Vigil said, he was

physically and sexually abused by staff.

When he resisted a doctor's inappropriate touching, he said, he ended up in solitary confinement. When he tried to report a probation staffer for sexual abuse, he was threatened and told, "you need to pick your battles wisely," he recounted.

Decades later, after the 2019 law passed, he learned he had a chance to sue. Other victims had similar accounts that helped corroborate his own.

He's glad to see some accountability, he said — “the only form of justice” available to many. But he also understands some local officials' concerns about the costs.

“Especially if it's taking away from schools districts — if it's taking away from programs like this,” he added, nodding at his work for a mental health program at a nonprofit contracted by Ventura County.

Concerns about fraud have complicated the issue further. This summer, the Los Angeles County district attorney sought unsuccessfully to halt payments in the county's \$4 billion settlement, suggesting that as many as 4 out of 5 claims could be fraudulent.

Victim lawyers dismissed that number, and the Los Angeles County counsel's office said plaintiffs go through a robust vetting process before getting paid.

The county still faces 5,400 claims not covered by its settlements, officials said.

"The legislative relief the County is seeking in Sacramento is anti-fraud, not anti-survivor and is intended to curb fraudulent and abusive attorney practices enabled by [the 2019 law]," Los Angeles County CEO Joseph M. Nicchitta said in a statement. "Without changes to the law, the threat to our social safety net remains unlimited."

Local officials and their allies lobbied state legislators to cap damages in lawsuits against public entities and raise the evidentiary requirements for claims, among other changes.

On the other side of the debate are advocates like John Manly, a lawyer for victims who ran ads denouncing a previous effort to curb the lawsuits as a "Predator Shield Law."

“Within 48 hours of the ads going up ... the bill was dropped,” said Manly, who represented victims in a major settlement over sex abuse by former Team USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.

As the lawsuits pile up, insurance costs have spiked even in districts without big settlements, officials say. At a recent news conference, a leader with the Huntington Beach City School District said per-student costs for liability and property insurance — combined with extra insurance costs spurred by the lawsuits — have roughly quadrupled to \$314 since 2019.

"It means less money is available to hire and pay teachers," said Gary Stine, the assistant superintendent of administrative services. "It means increased class sizes, delayed projects. ... It means that we're not able to add additional counseling support that is being requested by our community."

Ballroom completion claim in filings is contradicted by budget, other records

BALLROOM FROM A1

construction cost that Clark provided the White House in March. The Post has previously reported that cost estimate.

In the same mid-August court filing in which the administration claimed 65 percent of the project was done, it said that it had already spent “around \$200 million.”

If the government had spent \$200 million on the East Wing project, the work would be just 33 percent complete, based on the \$600 million budget estimate.

“You really want to understand why there's such a big gap there,” said Carl Elefante, a retired D.C.-area architect and former president of the American Institute of Architects. In response to The Post's findings, he called the government's claim about the completion percentage “doubtful.”

The 65 percent claim was made in a sworn declaration by Joshua Fisher, the director for White House Management and Administration, who is overseeing the construction project. In the declaration, Fisher did not explain how the percentage was calculated but said, “Work has progressed too far to go back to the drawing board.”

His assertion came as the administration asked the Supreme Court to allow work on the ballroom to continue after lower courts ruled that the project was probably illegal without congressional approval and that construction must stop. The administration argued in part that stopping work while courts considered the merits of the case brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation would cause “chaos in service of nothing” because the project had already progressed “beyond the point of judicial intervention.”

The White House did not

answer The Post's questions about the 65 percent figure and instead provided a statement from spokesman Davis Ingle. "President Trump continues to implement long-overdue and necessary renovations to beautify the People's House as we approach our great Nation's 250th anniversary of independence," the statement said. "Thanks to the Builder-in-Chief, the White House will be properly glorified and remain in excellent condition for generations to come."

The Justice Department, which represents the administration in court, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Fisher did not respond to a request for comment. Clark referred questions to the White House.

Clark's contract says the company will be paid monthly based on the percentage of total work that has been done. This is common in the industry, according to eight construction experts consulted by The Post who said that dollars spent is the standard method for measuring completion of large-scale construction projects.

Even if progress was measured according to Trump's repeated claim that the ballroom will cost \$400 million, paid for by private donors, it would be considered only halfway complete.

In public statements, the president has sometimes drawn a distinction between funding for the ballroom and security improvements tied to it, which the administration has acknowledged will be paid for by the Secret Service and the military. Clark's March budget estimate indicated that half the total \$600 million cost was to be paid for with tax dollars.

In its request to the Supreme Court to allow construction to proceed, the administration appeared to draw a similar distinction between the overall project, which includes a secure underground bunker, and the ballroom, writing: "The Project is on time and under budget, and the ballroom is funded with approximately \$400 million in private donations ... zero taxpayer dollars are needed or required."

Measured by the expected duration of the work, the project is about 30 percent complete, according to the administration's timeline.

Fisher said in his declaration that construction began in late October 2025 and is expected to be complete in August 2028. That puts the work 10 months into a 34-month construction schedule.

The president is still tinkering with the overall plans for the East Wing, according to three people who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to describe internal discussions.

Some of those changes involve the ballroom's exterior. Renderings that the administration shared with the Supreme Court this month included the addition of a new feature that Trump picked out — golden seals on the exterior of the ballroom — and the restoration of another feature, a staircase, that had been included in prior plans before being abandoned.

One of the people with knowledge of the project said construction was not nearly 65 percent complete. “I’m not sure they’re 65 percent complete with designing the ballroom,” the person said, mocking the administration’s claims. “The ballroom continues to undergo significant changes to the base design, even while construction is ongoing.”

Wyo. vote monitors accused of ‘aggressive’ actions

GOP governor seeks probe, says observers exceeded their authority

BY LAURA MECKLER AND JEREMY ROEBUCK

The governor of Wyoming voiced concern this week about “aggressive” and “irregular” conduct by election monitors sent by the Justice Department during the state’s primary election.

A local elections official also voiced profound concerns about the monitors' behavior, which she said went beyond their purview, including a request to examine voting machines. President Donald Trump and some of his allies have fixated on these machines, asserting without evidence that they are unreliable, but examining them is not part of the monitors' duties.

The Justice Department sent two attorneys to Laramie County, the state's most populous, as part of its “monitoring initiative.”

The agency has long sent federal monitors to observe elections, but Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) said their behavior during the Aug. 18 primary was inappropriate.

He told the state canvassing board this week that he had asked the Wyoming attorney general to investigate.

"The behavior of the observers was a bit aggressive ... it was just irregular," the governor said at the Wednesday meeting. "Their behavior seems to exceed what the authority that Congress had given them was."

He said the monitors said they were examining compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and civil rights law.

“I feel very strongly about federal government coming in and taking our guns,” Gordon said. “I don’t like that, and I don’t like the federal government coming in and taking our votes, either.”

Gordon said that to his knowledge, the local U.S. attorney was unaware of the deployment this month. A spokesperson for U.S. Attorney for Wyoming Darin D. Smith did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A Justice Department official in Washington said Smith was notified.

The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division routinely sends attorneys and staff to polling places to assess compliance with federal voting laws, including the Voting Rights Act and the Americans With Disabilities Act. The department separately deploys federal observers, who have specific authority under the Voting Rights Act to enter polling and vote-counting sites in jurisdictions covered by federal court orders. The two monitors in Wyoming were Civil Rights Division attorneys, the agency said.

Historically, such monitors and federal intervention have been used to protect voting rights, especially for historically disenfranchised groups.

But Democrats have raised concerns about how such monitors could be used in the upcoming election, given Trump's false claims of election tampering and unsupported allegations of voter fraud. Some worry that Trump will use the machinery of the federal government to restrict votes or interfere if Republicans suffer losses in this fall's midterm elections.

Trump has said Republicans should “nationalize the voting” and “take over the voting.” The Constitution gives states and

Congress — not the president — authority over election administration.

Harmeet K. Dhillon, the assistant attorney general who leads the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, said this month that the agency planned to deploy about 1,000 poll monitors to observe voting across the country on Election Day — a number she described as “historic” for a Republican administration.

She did not say where the monitors would be sent or how this year's deployment would differ from previous ones. Concerns about the behavior of monitors in Wyoming were also voiced by Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee. She said in a written statement that two election monitors asked questions that appeared “outside the scope of federal voting rights laws.”

“They included questions about the nature, length, and timing of poll worker training. Monitors requested training guides, asked how our new election equipment was acquired, and wanted to examine our tabulators,” she said.

She said that the monitors also wanted to interview voters “to assess compliance with federal civil rights and voting rights law” but that she denied the request.

"We do not allow interviews to be conducted in polling places," Lee said.

“This was a poorly managed exercise and one that showed complete disregard for our state laws and administration of our elections,” her statement said.

The Justice Department official in Washington, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the incident, disputed some aspects of these claims.

The monitors in Cheyenne, the official said, asked election workers if they had handicap-accessible voting locations — a question the official described as “common” to ensure compliance with federal law. The Justice Department official insisted, contrary to the local official’s account, that the monitors did not ask to inspect any voting machines. The department did not answer whether the monitors requested training guides, asked how the equipment was acquired or sought to interview voters.

A Justice Department spokesperson pointed to a statement Smith's office issued on Election Day. “Voters deserve absolute confidence that their ballots are secure and their voices are heard without interference,” Smith said. “We are working alongside local officials to ensure every lawful vote is protected.”

British provocateur held by ICE, faces removal

BY ELAHE IZADI AND NATALIE ALLISON

Milo Yiannopoulos, the British far-right provocateur and former Yeezy executive, has been taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Louisiana and is awaiting deportation.

ICE arrested Yiannopoulos on Thursday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, according to a statement from a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, who referred to him as an “illegal alien from the United Kingdom” who legally entered the U.S. in 2019 but then “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws.”

According to the agency, an immigration judge issued Yiannopoulos a final order of removal on July 22 after he did not show up to his immigration hearing. The statement said the Trump administration is “working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport."

Immediate attempts to reach a representative for Yiannopoulos were unsuccessful.

Yiannopoulos was born in England and became a highly controversial figure in American politics, starting during Donald Trump's rise in 2016, when Yiannopoulos worked as an editor for Stephen K. Bannon's Breitbart.

While Yiannopoulos emerged as a leader in the alt-right movement, he was never accepted as a mainstream conservative figure, given his frequent misogynistic comments, associations with white supremacists and antisemites, and a history of other controversial remarks, such as saying a romantic relationship between a 13-year-old boy and an adult could be consensual — the latter costing him book and speaking opportunities.

In recent years he largely faded from conversation on the right, despite seeking to rebrand as an “ex-gay” and working as an unpaid intern for then-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia).

Milo Yiannopoulos

His support for Trump has ebbed over the years, and he's recently been critical of the president. In December, Yiannopoulos appeared as a guest on Tucker Carlson's show; Carlson also planned to publish a book by Yiannopoulos on his new imprint.

Last year, Yiannopoulos appeared on a podcast hosted by Candace Owens — another Trump supporter turned critic — who has been in a feud with influential MAGA blogger Laura Loomer.

Loomer told The Washington Post that since 2024 she has re-

peatedly contacted ICE, DHS more broadly and the FBI about Yiannopoulos. She said she reported him to the FBI after he made threatening social media posts calling for violence against her.

In an interview, Loomer took credit for Yiannopoulos's detention, saying it was "100 percent" because she raised attention to his immigration status. “Who else reported that Milo was an illegal alien?” she said.

DHS did not immediately respond to Loomer's comments.

Yiannopoulos also worked as chief of staff for Yeezy, the company owned by rapper Kanye West, known as Ye. Yiannopoulos claimed responsibility for inviting white supremacist Nick Fuentes to a 2022 dinner with Ye and Trump — a move that generated blowback for Trump, who had just announced his 2024 presidential campaign. Yiannopoulos later told NBC News he did it “just to make Trump’s life miserable.”

Yiannopoulos, who resigned from Yeezy in 2024, saying it was because of the rapper's reported move into adult entertainment. He was then sued, along with Ye, by a group of eight employees claiming a hostile work environment; Yiannopoulos has denied the claims.

Updated coronavirus vaccines approved as cases rise

Here's what to know about the Food and Drug Administration's revised covid shots

BY RACHEL ROUBEIN

The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday green-lit updated coronavirus vaccines for higher-risk Americans, such as older adults and people with at least one underlying health condition, vaccine manufacturers announced.

The approved shots from vaccine manufacturers Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which make mRNA-based vaccines, have an updated formulation aimed at better targeting the coronavirus variants circulating around the country. The FDA also cleared an updated vaccine from Sanofi, which doesn't use mRNA-based technology and was originally licensed by Novavax, a Sanofi spokesperson confirmed. The companies said the vaccines are expected to be available in the coming days.

But questions remain over formal federal recommendations for which Americans should get a vaccine, which could complicate availability of the shots in a handful of states. A federal vaccine panel charged with making immunization recommendations has been thrown into legal limbo after a federal judge ruled Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. improperly reconstituted it last year after firing all of its members.

However, public health experts and others involved in vaccination efforts aren't anticipating last year's widespread confusion. The coronavirus shots weren't initially available in pharmacies in 16 states because federal vaccine experts and federal officials had not yet issued formal recommendations for which Americans should get a shot.

"A lot of the solutions already got put in place," said Stephen Hoge, Moderna's president. "As it stands right now, we believe everybody — most states and certainly any clinicians or pharmacies or others — have already planned to deal with this challenge."

Kennedy, the founder of a prominent anti-vaccine group, has sought to bypass the traditional process for some of his department's changes regarding who should get a coronavirus shot. Kennedy has criticized the shots, which President Donald Trump hailed as a “modern-day miracle” during the pandemic.

Medical experts say the vaccines are effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization and death, but uptake of the shots updated annually remains low, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. Coronavirus infections are increasing or likely to be growing in 47 states, according to Aug. 19 CDC data.

Covid-19 has typically had a summer wave the last several years, but infectious-disease experts note that the spread of the virus still remains low, particularly compared with last summer.

What does the FDA's latest approval mean?

Specifically, the FDA signed off on updated vaccines for adults 65 and over, as well as those with at least one health condition putting them at risk of severe disease, according to the companies.

Last year, this included a wide range of conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease, physical inactivity and more.

Specific vaccines for higher-risk children depend on their age: A Moderna vaccine was approved for ages 6 months and older, Pfizer for those 5 years old and older, and Sanofi for those 12 years old and older.

The FDA last year narrowed approval of the shots to high-risk groups, a significant shift for the vaccine once routinely provided to nearly all Americans. Then-FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and top vaccine regulator Vinay Prasad, both of whom departed the agency earlier this year, laid out the new approach requiring vaccine manufacturers to conduct a randomized controlled trial before the agency signs off on shots for healthy people between the ages of 6 months and 64 years.

However, most Americans can still get the shots off-label, which essentially means doctors and other health care providers can administer medications to populations the FDA did not approve them for. Doctors generally weigh various factors, including the advice of major medical societies, government recommendations and a patient's individual health.

Who is the vaccine officially recommended for?

Amy Thibault, a CVS spokeswoman,

That is a complicated question — and it's not clear whether there will be new federal recommendations this year.

Typically, an expert vaccine advisory panel, known as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, votes annually on which people they believe should receive the updated coronavirus vaccine. Then the CDC makes an official recommendation.

But a meeting to discuss coronavirus vaccines has not been scheduled. That's because a federal judge in March blocked many of the Trump administration's changes to vaccine policy, including temporarily suspending the appointment of the vast majority of Kennedy's handpicked members, some of whom had histories of criticizing the

“Once the vaccine arrives, patients will be able to see which CVS Pharmacy and MinuteClinic location has which vaccine, as well as appointment availability.”

use of mRNA coronavirus vaccines.

Last year, the panel replaced a universal recommendation that everyone 6 months and older receive the vaccine with a more restrictive approach. It sought for everyone to consult a health care provider before getting a shot — a recommendation that has been placed on hold by a federal judge.

Yet two changes made under Kennedy's leadership are still in effect: revisions regarding healthy children and pregnant women. There is currently no recommendation for pregnant women to receive the shots, and the vaccine is recommended for healthy children through shared decision-making, meaning parents and children should talk with health providers and decide what makes sense for them.

“This is really uncharted,” said Jennifer Kates, a senior vice president at KFF, a health policy research and news organization. “We have not had this situation ever before.”

What do medical societies recommend?

Medical societies are planning to put out their recommendations on who should get the updated shots in early September.

Here's what major associations recently recommended: • Children: The American Academy of Pediatrics last year recommended all children ages

6 months through 23 months receive a coronavirus immunization, as well as those who are at high risk of severe disease. For healthy children ages 2 to 18, the group said they can get an updated shot if their parents or guardians want them to have protection.

- Adults: The American Academy of Family Physicians last year recommended all adults 19 years and older receive the vaccine. The medical society said doing so was “especially important” for those 65 and older, at increased risk of severe disease or who have never received a coronavirus shot.

- Pregnant women: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists this spring said it continues to recommend routine updated shots for pregnant women, those considering getting pregnant and those who are breastfeeding.

Will the shots be available in pharmacies in all states?

Most Americans typically get vaccinated against the coronavirus at retail pharmacies.

Pharmacies are actively preparing to receive the updated shots, so they can begin vaccinations as soon as they receive shipments and all state requirements are met, according to Brigid Groves, a vice president at the American Pharmacists Association.

Amy Thibault, a CVS spokeswoman, said pharmacies and MinuteClinics are expected to start receiving supplies of the shots within a few days and “will be offering them to eligible patients in all states as permitted by law.”

She added, “Once the vaccine arrives, patients will be able to see which CVS Pharmacy and MinuteClinic location has which vaccine, as well as appointment availability.”

In a statement, Walgreens said the updated covid-19 shots will be available for “eligible patients in the coming days.”

It was not immediately clear in which states the shots would be offered. Yet, public health and pharmacy experts believe access will be quicker in most states than it was last year.

Some states tie the authority of pharmacists to offer vaccines to federal immunization recommendations. That led to a scenario last year in which the availability of vaccines at pharmacies in some states was initially delayed as federal vaccine advisers had not yet made a formal recommendation.

Since last year, there has been “substantial state-level work to preserve pharmacy access,” Groves said. That includes modifying pharmacy practice laws, updating regulations, issuing standing orders and executive orders, and more.

But authority still varies state by state.

Pharmacists' ability to administer coronavirus vaccines may be tied to federal recommendations or other guidance in a “limited number of jurisdictions,” Groves said, meaning some patients may need prescriptions before they can get a shot.

In states where the shot isn't linked to federal recommendations, patients can generally self-attest that they have an underlying health condition.

In the majority of states, younger people who don't have certain health conditions would probably need a prescription, Groves said, because that would be outside the population the FDA had approved the vaccine for.

Will insurance cover the vaccines?

Major insurers have broadly pledged they'll continue free coverage of coronavirus vaccines even absent new federal recommendations.

Medicare is required to cover the coronavirus vaccines, and it's expected that Medicaid will cover them as well, according to Kates.

Trump's threat to annex an Arctic neighbor adds urgency to vote over talks

BY ELLEN FRANCIS AND BEATRIZ RÍOS

BRUSSELS — Rattled by President Donald Trump's territorial claims in the Arctic, the people of Iceland will vote Saturday on whether to restart talks on joining the European Union.

Iceland quit its E.U. bid more than a decade ago, after years of negotiations collapsed over fishing restrictions. Several factors, including rising prices and security concerns, have rekindled Icelandic interest in joining the bloc of 27 nations.

A major push, however, came this year from Trump's fixation with seizing Greenland, Iceland's neighbor in the North Atlantic.

Trump triggered a crisis at NATO when he insisted in January that the United States needed to take Greenland, which he called a “piece of ice.” Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO member.

In public remarks, Trump mistakenly referred several times to Greenland as Iceland. Though evidently a gaffe, its repetition nonetheless stoked unease in Iceland about which island he wanted to grab.

"The international system we have lived with since the end of World War II is shaking," Iceland's Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir wrote in a recent report, stressing the value of cooperating with European allies.

A “weakened” relationship between Europe and the U.S. calls “for a new assessment,” Thorger-dur Katrin wrote. A referendum on E.U. talks, she said, would give the nation “a choice about where it wants to go” and “how it wants to secure its interests for the future.”

While Iceland, a nation of some 400,000 people just south of the Arctic Circle, is not an E.U. member, it is a member of NATO and also part of the E.U.'s common economic market under an agreement that includes Norway and Liechtenstein.

Proponents of reopening negotiations say the rift with the U.S. over Greenland, and global tensions over Arctic routes and resources, should push Iceland deeper into the E.U. fold.

Opponents argue that the bloc could infringe on Iceland's decision-making, especially in the country's key industries: fishing and farming.

Dagur B. Eggertsson, an Icelandic lawmaker and key figure in the pro-E.U. camp, said the goal was “strengthening our place within Europe at a time of growing uncertainty” about alliances that are crucial to smaller nations.

This “has increased the urgency of the European question for Iceland,” he told The Washington Post.

Dagur, a former mayor of Reykjavik, the capital, said the argument for E.U. membership is not to replace NATO or Iceland's defense agreement with the U.S., but about “adding another layer of security.”

"When it comes to tariffs, trade wars and economic coercion, the E.U. is already a superpower," he added. "It has the weight of the single market, an extensive network of trade agreements and the ability to defend its members collectively when economic pressure is applied."

Joining the E.U. is an arduous process that entails years of negotiations with the bloc's executive arm and requires enacting changes to align national laws and policies with E.U. requirements.

A candidate country must be judged to be in compliance with E.U. standards in more than 30 areas, from customs and agricultural regulations to anti-corruption measures and judicial independence.

Nations typically eyed economic benefits as an incentive to join the E.U., which was founded in 1993 to promote free trade across the continent. The E.U.'s single market is designed for seamless movement of people, goods, services and capital.

Today, the E.U. also pitches itself as a guarantor of stability and security at a time of mounting doubt about U.S. military commitments and fears of spillover from Russia's war in Ukraine. Despite pledges to strengthen defense, the E.U. is not a military superpower and its 27 member countries are in a protracted, divisive debate about whether to expand at all.

The ballot will ask voters one yes-or-no question: Should Iceland resume membership talks with the E.U.?

In 2016, Britain held a referendum that similarly asked a binary question: Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?

“Leave” won by a slight margin and the result was Brexit, Britain’s painful departure from the E.U., which has led to a decade of economic decline and stagnation.

Advocates of a larger E.U. say that achieving a successful outcome for Iceland could unlock the stalled bids of other countries. If the “No” camp wins, it could dampen efforts to build momentum around the idea of expansion.

Marta Kos, the E.U.'s commissioner for enlargement, says admitting new members would create “a Europe capable of securing its own interests” at a time of renewed rivalry among

global powers.

In a world “where dependencies are weaponized ... becoming stronger together is our biggest asset,” Kos said in a speech this week.

European leaders, grappling with a looming U.S. military drawdown, have vowed to take charge of their defenses. Kos told The Post she sees expanding the bloc as part of the efforts to ensure long-term security.

“Iceland’s decision would undoubtedly strengthen the case for the E.U. to welcome new members,” she added. Kos said she expected negotiations on Iceland’s membership to take one to two years, potentially leading to entry in 2028.

Nearly all the E.U.'s neighbors are seeking membership or closer ties, reflecting rising interest in the E.U., she said.

But the accession efforts of several nations, including Serbia, Kosovo and North Macedonia, have stalled for political and administrative reasons.

Many of the bloc's members, from Germany to Bulgaria, have expressed reluctance about admitting others to the club, because of worries about the impact on the E.U.'s common budget, its foreign policy decisions and its power balance.

Montenegro is a front-runner in negotiations, while Albania is moving along its checklist. This summer, Ukraine and Moldova formally opened membership negotiations after Hungary dropped a long-standing veto against Kyiv.

Iceland, which has a stable economy, has fewer barriers to entry than most other candidates. In addition to being a member of the Common Market, it is also part of Europe's visa-free travel zone.

In Saturday ballot's, citizens will vote solely on resuming negotiations, not on actual membership. Ultimately, a deal would require Iceland to hold a second referendum, as well as receive approval from all 27 current E.U. member states.

"I think the European Union needs a successful case because it hasn't had one ever since 2013," when Croatia was the last country to join, said Nina Vujanovic, a fellow at the Brussels-based Bruegel research institute.

Since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, seeking E.U. membership has gained an added “security dimension,” Vujanovic said, signaling that a nation is part of Europe’s democratic orbit and aligning its identity as European.

“For a country like Ukraine, entering the E.U. and its institutions means stability and security,” she said. “For Iceland, it is also a security question,” given threats in the Arctic.

Trump's tariffs and rhetoric on annexation have triggered bursts of patriotism in Canada, Greenland and across Europe. This has pushed nations like Iceland but also Britain, the only country to leave the E.U., closer to Brussels.

Tinatin Akhvlediani, head of the E.U. Enlargement Program at the Centre for European Policy Studies, said a “Yes” from Iceland would help “make the case that the European Union and its membership are very attractive.”

It would highlight that “it’s not only candidate countries which are poor, which have security threats, which are bigger or have ongoing military conflicts,” Akhvlediani added. “These are also prosperous economies, stable democracies … that still want to be part of the European Union.”

CONGO Ebola outbreak spreads to new zones

The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has spread to two new health zones in eastern Congo, with a total of 60 now affected, according to the latest government figures published on Friday.

The two new zones affected are Biena and Manguredjipa in Congo's North Kivu province, where the case fatality rate is much higher than the overall rate of 48 percent, due in part to delayed response efforts, according to Congo's Ministry of Health data.

It said the outbreak has recorded 5,794 confirmed cases, including 2,786 deaths, as it is spreading at an unprecedented speed, faster than efforts to track and slow it.

The outbreak is spreading under extremely difficult conditions, fueled by insecurity, displacement, a health workers' strike and intense population movements. The World Health Organization has said that it remains out of control and is on track to surpass the 2014-2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak, the deadliest on record, which killed more than 11,000 people, primarily in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Aid group Doctors Without Borders said on Friday it had opened a new treatment center in Beni in North Kivu to enable a faster response in what it said was one of the hardest-hit areas.

While the large majority of cases are concentrated in north-eastern Ituri province, North

Kivu has an Ebola fatality rate of close to 69 percent, one of the highest in the country, according to the latest government figures.

The new center “enables the rapid treatment of patients, strengthens contact tracing and supports the health authorities in their efforts to contain the spread of the virus,” Doctors Without Borders said in a statement.

Four men plead guilty to arson attack

Four men pleaded guilty Friday to destroying four Jewish community ambulances in an arson attack in north London earlier this year that many said

DIGEST

was a direct result of the start of the Iran war.

Sentencing will take place in the spring of 2027 at the conclusion of a separate trial involving another man charged in connection with the ambulance attack, Justice Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said at London's Central Criminal Court.

Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, Judex Atshatshi, and Saif Ali, both 18, faced a charge of destroying or damaging property and of being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

The four ambulances torched in the early hours of March 23 were owned by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer-led charity operating in the Golders Green area of north London. The ambulances each cost around \$340,000.

The attack was one of several incidents deemed to have been antisemitic that took place in the weeks after the U.S. and Israel first launched attacks on Iran on Feb. 28.

Three of the defendants were said to have set fire to the fully stocked vehicles, while a fourth waited in a car. The resulting blaze caused gas canisters inside the ambulances to explode, and nearby apartments and a synagogue were also damaged by the fire.

KAZAKHSTAN Dadebai elected as speaker of parliament

Kazakh lawmakers on Friday chose Aibek Dadebai, leader of the governing party and a former top aide to President

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, as the speaker of the parliament as Tokayev cements his control of the country's politics.

A longtime ally of Tokayev, previously having served as head of the presidential administration and as the president's chief of staff, Dadebai headed up the pro-Tokayev Adilet party when it was formed this year.

The party won a large majority of the vote in a parliamentary election held on Sunday, having absorbed the previous governing party Amanat, which had dominated Kazakh politics under various names since the 1990s.

All deputies voted in favor of Dadebai's candidacy, including those of the four small opposition parties which won seats, and which are seen as ultimately loyal to Tokayev.

A devastating alcohol epidemic is ravaging her territory – and her own life

already carried herself like a woman meant to lead."

Five years ago, Traytowu, the daughter of Apido Paru's previous chief, succeeded him as the first transgender Indigenous leader in Brazil, a symbol and source of inspiration far beyond her village. She's respected, her mother says, for her deep knowledge of their Bororo culture and her fluency in Portuguese, a rare combination.

It wasn't enough. Traytowu has also struggled with alcohol, she says, and late last year, she was removed from her position by her own mother. Jurema Adu-go Oro says she had no choice. "If she doesn't step away from her addiction," Oro says, "she will lose everything."

Now Traytowu is working to earn the job back.

She lives between two worlds. Outside this territory in central Brazil, she's celebrated as proof that trans people can lead in traditional communities. Inside it, she's struggling to hold on to influence and authority as addiction ravages her territory — and her own life.

For decades, Brazil has ranked consistently as the world's deadliest country for trans people — and it isn't particularly close. According to the National Association of Transvestites and Transgender People, 122 were killed here in 2024 and 80 last year.

Tadarimana, a territory of some 37 square miles, lies inside the conservative state of Mato Grosso, a stronghold of Brazil's rapidly growing evangelical population. It's home to 636 Indigenous people, spread among 10 villages, each with its own chief.

The central village, also called Tadarimana, with about 200 residents, elects its chief by majority vote. The other villages choose or remove their leaders through decisions made among the main families.

When Traytowu took the position at Apido Paru, the village had 70 people. Today, about 30 remain, living in six thatched houses along the Tadarimana River.

Leadership positions in Indigenous villages are typically held by married men with authority often shared within the couple. The choice of an unmarried trans woman was unexpected, analysts say, but not unthinkable.

Gender and sexual diversity have long been recognized in the country's native societies. Discrimination against trans people, according to the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, was introduced “alongside European moral and religious values, particularly those tied to Catholicism, which imposed more restrictive

views."

"Majur is an important representation of Bororo culture, a population that already challenges traditional gender roles," says anthropologist André Drago, who has studied the Bororo people for 15 years. "But she was able to rise in this way because she comes from a family of leaders and knows how to maneuver both inside and outside the village."

In Bororo culture, a person's identity is tied to their role in the community. Since childhood, Traytowu has performed tasks associated with women. She cooks meat, rice and beans, when they're available, and cares for her sister's children.

During funerals, her community's most important ceremony, she chants the pranto, a role reserved for women — a “very sad and very beautiful” recounting of the deceased, she says, and the void their death leaves.

It requires fluency in the language she learned from her father, Raimundo Itogoga, a powerful cultural leader who, on falling ill in 2021, chose the youngest of his 15 children to succeed him. He saw in her a natural leader, her mother says, and that she could navigate two worlds and two languages better than anyone else.

As a young adult, Traytowu wore feminine clothes, shaped her eyebrows and watched videos of people who looked like her. She didn't yet understand the concept of being transgender, she says, but "I just wasn't myself when I was among men. It wasn't where I wanted to be."

In 2018, when she was 27, she began seeing a psychologist. Asked about her aspirations, she said for the first time out loud that she wanted a woman's body and a new name.

One day, someone called her "Majur," and she felt immediately the name was hers. "It's a strong name, a leader's name, and I felt it resonate within me."

Given logistical challenges and lack of money, she didn't begin hormone transition until October 2021, three months after she became chief. She started treatment at a private clinic in Rondonópolis, a 90-minute drive from her village, using savings from her former job as a health agent.

Soon her voice softened, her breasts grew, and the little body hair she had thinned or fell away. She was happy, but she was forced to stop the medication when the money ran out. The role of chief brought no salary, and the nearest public health system offering the treatment was nearly 500 miles away.

But by then, she was already Majur. She had changed her name legally and introduced herself that way.

Adugo Oro, Traytowu's mother, says her daughter's identity is accepted by the village. Transgender people have long been visible in Bororo culture, she says; she knew a trans woman married to a cultural leader many years ago.

“My mom told me I’m not the first transgender woman among my people,” Traytowu says, “but I am an inspiration for those who come next. Girls who are afraid to come out find courage in me. They think, if she can do it, so can I.”

Some transgender Indigenous people have been rejected or even expelled from their territories.

Nat Kuparaka, a 24-year-old member of the Pataxó people, says she was cast out by her family for being a trans woman. "My parents became evangelical pastors, and they believe what I did is a sin," she says. "Those who remain more closely tied to Indigenous traditions tend to be more accepting of different gender identities."

At least two other trans women live in Tadarimana Indigenous Territory. Traytowu says she has never faced prejudice within her family or village, only outside it. "In the city, people look at me with anger. It is a double prejudice, for being Indigenous SEE CHIEF ON A13

and for being trans."

Boe, her childhood friend, reports a similar experience. She left 10 years ago to pursue a doctorate in anthropology.

"I don't want us to be seen through this negative lens of prejudice, marginalization and death," Boe says. "I want us to be seen for who we are. I'm a PhD student. Majur is a leader. And by being a leader, she challenges a system that would rather we didn't exist."

As chief, Traytowu mediated conflicts, secured food aid during and after the pandemic, and helped to bring a water distribution system to the village.

She traveled across Brazil and to France to promote Bororo culture and transgender Indigenous leadership.

She enjoys the spotlight, she says, but the constant demands of the role and the hormone treatment were stressful.

She thought she would find a solution in alcohol. “I started drinking about five years ago,” she says, around the time she became chief. “It was a hard time, so I drank all out.”

Geni Nuñez, a psychologist who has studied Indigenous culture, sees alcoholism among Indigenous communities as a symptom of chronic strain, particularly in territories under pressure and, like Tadarimana, near urban centers.

“In Majur’s case, the burden could be even heavier,” Nuñez says. “Leaders are always under scrutiny, but when someone comes from a marginalized position, as an exception, the demand is even greater.”

Among the Bororo, Drago says, alcohol has a violent history. Introduced by white military forces in the 19th century as a tool of pacification, it became part of a broader strategy of dispossession. “Non-Indigenous actors sought to reduce the Bororo population and take their land, and alcohol was used as an instrument in that process.”

Over the past year, relatives and friends say, Traytowu grew increasingly volatile, shouting, fighting at home and in the streets, unsettling a community that looked to her for guidance.

“Everyone respects Majur,” said Ruth Aranu, who lives in the central village. “She performs in our mourning rituals beautifully, speaks our language, she’s good to us. But the drinking gets in the way.”

At the end of last year, Adugo Oro made what she describes as a painful decision. Her daughter had drawn too much attention, she says. People felt envy, perhaps even used dark magic against her. “She wasn’t herself. I had never seen her like that,” she says. “I was heartbroken, but there was no other way.”

She summoned Cícero Kudoropa, then the chief of the central village and Traytowu's godfather, and told him Traytowu would no longer lead Apido Paru. With her husband bedridden, she said, all matters would go through her. Kudoropa agreed.

Traytowu did not. Mother and daughter clashed. After a fierce argument in February, Traytowu says, her mother told her it would be best to leave the village for a while.

"I felt the ground disappear beneath me," she says. "It was a pain I've never felt before. Nothing could fill the sadness and anguish. I was no one anymore."

She begged for one last chance, she says. She promised to stop drinking and help again at home and with the family. Her mother agreed. "I like having Majur helping me here, sweeping the house, cooking, bringing us food and helping take care of the children," Adu-go Oro says.

Traytowu says she is now trying to get sober again. She had been sober for months, she said, before relapsing.

Twenty days after the fight between Traytowu and her mother, Kudoropa called a general assembly under a rain-heavy sky in the central village to address, among other challenges, the growing drinking problem in the Bororo community. Standing in a concrete hall with a microphone in his hand, he warned that more alcohol was reaching the territory more frequently.

“This has been a problem for 15 years, but it’s getting worse,” he said. “People from our own community are now buying it in the city and reselling it here for three or four times the price.”

He said he knew the sellers and had warned them before. He was reluctant to punish his own people, he said, but this was the final notice.

"If they keep selling alcohol here, we will notify the Federal Police and Funai," the federal agency for Indigenous affairs, "and expel them from our land."

His term ended this spring, and he had no plans to run again. Being a chief brings too many problems, he says. He, too, struggled with alcohol, he says. He nearly died in a car accident last year, he says, and has been sober since then. Now he wants to take care of his family.

“It’s too many demands, we’re constantly worried, we barely sleep,” he says.

Traytowu hopes to run for his job soon. She wants to build a movement to raise the visibility of transgender people within Indigenous communities and secure partnerships that would give young villagers more opportunities and less idle time with alcohol.

“I prepared myself for a long time, and I believe I’m ready to try to take on a role of this magnitude,” she says.

Kudoropa thinks she needs a little more. “I know the pain,” he says. “Majur is a good person and has a whole life ahead of her. If she gives up drinking, she could lead this entire territory one day.”

Majur seems to grasp what lies ahead. “Alcohol pushed people away from me,” she says. “I want to leave this life behind, learn from my mistakes and get back to work.”

Her mother looks out at the dark night and takes Majur's hands. They set out for Apido Paru.

President's deal for Venezuela's oil is contentious and could cost billions

come at no cost to U.S. taxpayers. But deal points reviewed by the Post and interviews with people who were close to negotiations as the deal came together suggest that for the plan to succeed in producing oil in the amounts the administration projects, the U.S. government may ultimately need to invest significant amounts.

A list shared with The Washington Post before the deal was announced noted 17 oil fields in which the U.S. would take a stake. Several of the fields lack any infrastructure or access to transport hubs to treat and move the crude. Those where such infrastructure does exist have fallen victim to years of neglect and theft of machinery.

Pumping oil from the fields could require investments of many billions of dollars and costly security plans to protect oil workers and production facilities in lawless and violent regions. The deal points reviewed by The Post say the U.S. government stake in the newly formed oil company will be split between equity ownership and guarantees that it will purchase oil produced by it at cost to refill the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

But it is unclear who would make the tens of billions of dollars in infrastructure investments needed before oil can be pumped from the largely dormant fields. Major oil companies have mostly seen such spending as too risky.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on X that the agreement “will bring nearly \$100 billion in private investment” to Venezuela without specifying which companies have committed to such spending.

The key Venezuelan partner in the deal is North American Blue Energy Partners, or NABEP, the second-largest private oil producer in Venezuela, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

The Pentagon, through its Office of Strategic Capital (OSC), would oversee and help fund the oil field licenses, according to the person familiar and one other with knowledge of the talks. The mission of that office is to “accelerate and scale private investment in critical supply chain technologies.”

Pentagon officials said they could not comment on any particular deals being weighed at the OSC, but they stressed that the office cannot take any ownership stake in private companies.

“OSC’s role is strictly limited to providing capital assistance in the form of a loan, loan guarantee, or technical assistance (including transaction structuring for developing and financing investments),” said a statement from Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.

Bloomberg News first reported the involvement of NABEP and the Pentagon in a potential Venezuela deal.

NABEP is controlled by the Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt, a major player in the country's oil sector who has become a key intermediary between the U.S. and Venezuela and has helped broker early contracts to get oil pumping fast in the country, The Post reported this week.

Betancourt has ramped up oil output by NABEP to nearly 200,000 barrels per day from 18,000 in just two years. In the past decade he has also faced multiple investigations, in Switzerland, Spain and the United States, into alleged money laundering.

U.S. officials this year have lobbied to resolve the case in Switzerland in a way that would avoid criminal charges and end travel restrictions against Britain-based Betancourt, The Post reported, citing two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

The United States has also not acted on a Swiss arrest warrant against him, the people said. Instead, the U.S. has allowed Betancourt to enter the country repeatedly for meetings with the Trump administration, other people familiar with his travel said. Betancourt has not been charged and his attorney has denied he was involved in money laundering.

Substantial hurdles to executing the deal remain.

There is strong opposition in Venezuela to ceding control of natural resources to the United States. Revisions to the Venezuelalan constitution may be required before the U.S. gains control of any oil fields, and the prospects of that happening are uncertain amid U.S. antipathy.

“An illegitimate interim [Venezuelan] government with an illegitimate hydrocarbons law has no legitimacy to strike this unconstitutional deal,” Ricardo Hausmann, a Harvard economist who served as Venezuela’s minister of planning in the early 1990s, said in a post on X. “It will be a fiasco for all involved, starting with @SecRubio.”

After striking the deal with the U.S., Venezuela is now weighing withdrawing from the OPEC consortium of energy-producing nations, according to people familiar, a move the Trump administration would welcome as it seeks to exert more influence over the international oil trade. Venezuela is a founding member of OPEC.

“I suspect the withdrawal from OPEC is associated more with U.S. control over the country than the reported U.S. investment deal,” said an oil industry official who spoke candidly on the condition of anonymity. “To the extent the U.S. is building a western hemisphere energy block, it makes no sense for Venezuela to belong to OPEC.”

Trump made Rodríguez “interim” president while pledging that her country eventually will return to democratic, elected governance. “From a legal standpoint in Venezuela, Delcy has no standing,” said a Venezuelan with long participation in the oil industry who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide a candid assessment.

The person said this will leave banks and other institutions typically involved in financing drilling operations asking, “Why are we signing deals with people who have zero legitimacy?”

Rodriguez said in a statement that the agreement “will have a significant impact on our nation’s revival.”

Under the structure of the deal, according to people familiar with it, oil could be produced using an existing joint venture legal structure in Venezuela through which the United States would be granted access to develop the oil fields, but Venezuela would still be guaranteed a cut of all revenue they produce.

The deal could face stiff resistance not just in Venezuela but in the United States.

Any U.S. government expenditures or loans needed to develop oil fields would probably need congressional approval just as Trump's GOP allies risk losing control over the legislative branch in the upcoming midterm elections.

Democrats have been unyieldingly critical of the administration's endeavors in Venezuela, including its opaque dealmaking with the country's natural resources industries, since the U.S. ousted former Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Despite claims by the Trump administration that Maduro's removal would unleash a frenzy of drilling in Venezuela, oil production there has increased little, up only about 200,000 barrels over the past year, with projections for the same increase or less next year.

It remains unclear “whether anybody would want to operate” in a country where electricity is limited and port infrastructure is not capable of handling increased production, among other limits that “are holding back the majors from going into the country right now,” said David Goldwyn, head of the international energy consulting firm Goldwyn Global Strategies.

Even if the deal enables the U.S. to supersede all Venezuelan government jurisdiction over the oil fields, those areas “would have the same risks” that have limited new investment so far to smaller, less risk-averse companies, Goldwyn said.

The Trump administration has announced other major deals for the U.S. to take a big stake in energy or natural resources production, only for little to materialize. These include plans for the United States to take a stake in Ukraine's reserve of critical minerals and an announcement nearly a year ago that the U.S. would fund construction of large nuclear reactors in return for a stake in the Westinghouse corporation.

Neither of those agreements has led to the breakthrough developments in energy production that the administration forecast when they were announced.

eroded U.S. credibility and capabilities in the Middle East, but also with respect to other adversaries in other theaters."

Trump boasted Thursday of the soaring stock market and said that Tehran was suffering from a U.S. naval blockade and a tightening sanctions campaign, both of which have put pressure on its economy.

He downplayed the war's impact on the flow of oil through the strait, which before Feb. 28 carried more than a fifth of global supplies.

"Iran is right now, they're not paying their troops. They're in deep trouble," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office as he signed an order that directed U.S. government agencies to change the name they use for Lake Ontario to Lake America.

“They have very little capacity. Last night, we took 24 boats through the strait. We're taking them through all the time,” he said. “It doesn't mean we're finished with the military, but we are, the strait is open.”

More than 100 ships traversed the Strait of Hormuz on average every day before the war. Just five went through on one day this week, according to Kpler, a commodities and shipping tracker. U.S. officials say the true number is higher because some ships have been turning off their transponders to avoid getting hit by Iran, but oil supplies have remained tight and prices have stayed well above pre-war levels.

The president and his allies say they have dealt a historic blow to Iran's military and its ability to construct a nuclear weapon. They point to the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the intense first phase of the war that destroyed much of Iran's armed forces.

But half a year into a war that Trump said he launched to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon and oppressing its people, the country's hard-line regime appears firmly entrenched, and it is still able to launch attacks against U.S. bases and allies.

Those allies and foes alike are contending with the severe depletion of the Pentagon's arsenal. And as the midterm elections loom, some Trump voters who cheered the president's 2024 campaign pledge that he would steer clear of Middle East wars are questioning how much longer they'll have to pay higher prices at the gas station.

Approval of Trump's handling of the war has been dropping as prices for gasoline and other goods remain elevated. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released this week put Trump's approval at 33 percent. The pollsters found that support for the war has been dropping among Republicans, although approval for the action within his party remains

Trump has been especially sensitive to investors' reaction to his moves on Iran. In June, just after he signed an interim peace deal with Tehran that later fell apart, he said "every time we talked about the possibility of peace, the stock market shot up like a rocket ship."

“I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe,” he said, explaining his decision to sign the deal.

Those economic concerns appear to have limited the administration's willingness to push against Tehran economically. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent this week declared an “economic D-Day” against Iran, telling countries they risked the wrath of U.S. sanctions if they continued doing business there.

In the same breath, he took some of the sting out of the threats by saying he wasn't imposing sanctions immediately, because “why would I want to blow up the global financial system?”

Iranians likely took notice, said Richard Nephew, who helped devise the sanctions regime during the Obama administration ahead of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

"It clearly sent a signal to the Iranians that there is a limit to how far we're going to be prepared to act," Nephew said.

Economic pressure remains an important tool, he said — but the war may be demonstrating the limits of both economic and military pressure.

“What worries me is whether or not we have now also, in addition, learned the limits to how far military coercion can push, and that actually the Iranian response is going to be, ‘We can handle all of this.’ In which case, it’s not just the the leverage on the economy that we’ve lost. We’ve lost leverage across the board,” Nephew said.

The war is reverberating far beyond the Middle East. Fresh U.S. intelligence indicates that the Kremlin sees the United States as weakened by the Iran war. Russian President Vladimir Putin may see that as an opportunity to escalate action against American interests and allies in Europe, the assessments say, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The intelligence assessments preceded CIA Director John Ratcliffe's Tuesday trip to Moscow, where according to one of the people, he warned his Russian counterpart not to escalate against Ukraine, saying that such a move would backfire. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject's sensitivity. The CIA has not commented on the subject of the conversations, and Trump said Thursday that Putin is “not going to be attacking a NATO territory.”

The Post has previously reported that the U.S. has lost roughly a quarter of its Reaper drones, which cost between \$30 million and \$50 million each. They are used for surveillance and targeting. Stocks of sophisticated Patriot anti-missile defense systems, which are used to protect Israel, Ukraine and U.S. bases around the world, are also severely depleted.

The shortages have led some other countries to be more cautious about their aid for Ukraine and Arab allies, as they see a growing need to preserve a larger arsenal for their own defense in case the U.S. is less able to help them. Ukraine has sought Patriot batteries from Greece, for instance, but Athens has recently declined, instead relocating a system to the island of Crete, near a U.S. base there, following threats from Iran.

In the Persian Gulf region, where the U.S. has long maintained a robust presence, the Pentagon is assessing whether to pull back some U.S. forces rather than rebuild all of its damaged bases.

Washington's allies “are going to hedge,” said Nate Swanson, who was the Iran director on the National Security Council during the Biden administration and continued into the first half year of the Trump administration.

The U.S. presence on their soil “has been a negative for these countries” over the last six months, Swanson said.

“It’s been a reason of justification for being attacked, and there wasn’t much we could do to defend that,” he said. “We are not going to be the sole dominant presence in the Middle East in the way we were before.”

Rescue efforts are hampered by fears of a further deluge

BY AOIFE WALSH, JOSHUA YANG AND N. KIRKPATRICK

Fears of further flooding complicated recovery efforts Friday, as authorities searched for hundreds of people still missing after devastating flash floods struck the Himalayan border between Nepal and China.

Nearly 1,000 people were still missing in Nepal, the country's national disaster management authority said, including 67 Americans. More than 550 were reported missing in China, according to state news agency Xinhua.

The death toll in Nepal has reached at least 540 people, police said Friday. Five people were killed in Tibet, Xinhua reported.

Authorities in Nepal on Friday warned of potential further flooding in the same area of the Bhotekoshi River, urging rescue teams to stay alert and prepared to move to a safe area. Nepal's police reported a burst water dam on the Tibet side of the border but did not specify the exact location.

Tibetan officials warned that the landslide that triggered Wednesday's flash floods had created a barrier lake, which posed a threat to rescue work and could breach, Chinese state media said.

Engineering and rescue experts were using drones and telescopes to monitor the barrier lake, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said.

Many of the tourists caught in the flash floods were taking part in the Kailash Manasarovar, a religious pilgrimage to Tibet's Mount Kailash, according to officials.

As the search continued, the Isha Foundation, an organization that guides pilgrims along the route, waited for news of a missing tour group of 80.

The group, which included 22 Americans and three Nepali volunteers, had arrived at a border crossing facility in Gyirong, Tibet, when the floods struck.

“We're holding out hope, but we've also seen what is happening on the site,” said Leslie Crespi, the community liaison for the Isha Foundation in North America.

The foundation has been organizing treks to Mount Kailash for 21 years, she said. “The families are very shocked. It’s very hard to take this in or even imagine the degree of devastation that has happened.”

Geoscientists said initial assessments showed the floods were probably triggered by a landslide from a collapsing glacier. Tremors were initially mistaken for a 4.4-magnitude earthquake, though the U.S. Geological Survey later concluded the landslide was caused by a "glacial collapse and debris flow" and revised the magnitude upward to 5.2.

China's Ministry of Natural Resources said the disaster was triggered on the Nepal side of the border, according to state media. The ministry said falling ice and rock fell down a mountain slope, picking up loose glacial debris along its path before entering the Gyirong Zangbo River.

The seismic event unleashed a torrent of water, rock, mud and ice that swept through the border region, swallowing up homes, blocking roads and damaging infrastructure.

The Nepal Tourism Board said Friday that 121 foreign nationals had been rescued, including two Americans, and 662 tourists were still unaccounted for.

The United Nations said Thursday that more than 30,000 security personnel are involved in the rescue operation, citing Nepalese officials. The agency said access to the region has been complicated by the scale of destruction.

About 40 kilometers (25 miles) of road have been damaged, it added, and around 10,000 households are in immediate need.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping

The United States Geological Survey recorded a 5.2 magnitude landslide shortly before the flooding began.

Friday chaired an emergency meeting on China's response, state media reported, saying officials stressed that rescue plans "should be formulated in a scientific manner."

China will provide emergency aid to Nepal and cooperate with international rescue efforts, the reports added.

Conditions in Nepal appear wetter than normal into early September, with monsoon rains affecting the country. The unsettled weather could challenge recovery efforts and pose a new risk of flooding.

The U.S. Embassy in Nepal, citing the country's Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, said Thursday that continuing rainfall could trigger local flooding, landslides and additional damage.

Meet the new king of Norway, Haakon VIII

Crown prince ascends to throne after the death of his father, King Harald V

BY VIOLET JIRA

After the death of Norway's Harald V on Friday, the country's Crown Prince Haakon VIII has ascended to the throne.

Haakon, 53, was the heir apparent. He said Friday he will use the same royal motto as his father, grandfather and great-grandfather: "All for Norway."

Haakon held his first meeting with cabinet ministers in Oslo on Friday, a formality.

Haakon is inheriting the kingship at a tumultuous time for the royals after the family faced scrutiny over his wife's association with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mette-Marit — now queen consort of Norway — had what she described in a March interview as “a friendly relationship” with Epstein, the extent of which became apparent through the release of the Epstein files. Files released as part of a U.S. Justice

Department investigation revealed more than 100 messages between Mette-Marit and the disgraced financier.

“It is incredibly important for me to take responsibility for not checking his background more carefully,” she said in a March interview with Norway’s public broadcasting corporation. “And to take responsibility for being so manipulated and deceived as I was.”

Prior to marrying into the royal family, Mette-Marit was a commoner. Her marriage to Haakon was controversial, having been an unmarried mother when they met.

Also this year, Marius Borg Høiby, her son, was sentenced to four years in prison after he was found guilty on two counts of rape in addition to charges for domestic abuse, drug charges and other offenses.

The scandals have rocked the royal family, leaving Haakon in the position of having to restore trust between Norway and his family, and shore up the family's public standing.

Though he is new to the role, he does bring some experience. As his father's health deteriorated, Haakon stepped into his shoes on multiple occasions.

The former crown prince had been serving as regent — a temporary ruler — while his father was in the hospital receiving treatment for haemolytic anemia in the days leading up to his death.

Haakon grew up with one sibling, Princess Märtha Louise. He served in the Royal Norwegian

Navy and spent three years in the United States as a student at the University of California at Berkeley. He has two children, one of whom — Princess Ingrid Alexandra — is now the heir apparent to the crown. She would be Norway's first queen in centuries.

One of a few dozen remaining monarchies in the world, the kingship in Norway is mostly symbolic — the country is a constitutional monarchy. With no real political power, the monarchy is tasked with formal duties such as opening parliament and signing laws, in addition to being a figurehead at home and abroad.

VW CEO warns of sweeping layoffs

Automaker could shed tens of thousands of jobs amid global market shifts

BY MAEGAN VAZQUEZ

BERLIN — The chief executive of Volkswagen this week previewed sweeping layoffs at the German automaker, a signal of broader problems for an industry that powers the world's third-largest economy.

Addressing workers at the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume warned Tuesday that eliminating tens of thousands of jobs could be necessary to remain competitive.

Volkswagen Group, which owns several other car brands including Bentley and Audi, has faced mounting pressure to adapt its business model to address excess facility capacity and high costs of energy and labor within Germany. But VW and other German automotive companies are struggling with an array of challenges, including increased competition from China, the war in the Middle East, growing regulatory burdens within the European Union and tariffs levied by the United States.

Stefan Bratzel, founder and director of the Center of Automotive Management in Germany, said the global automotive industry is in a “critical transformation period” as it shifts toward electrification, artificial intelligence and autonomous driving.

"It's especially a challenge for the established players that were used to being in the driver's seat," Bratzel said. If Volkswagen has a problem, he added, it will have ripple effects impacting "the whole industry's suppliers."

The automotive industry is a key driver of the German economy, serving as one of the largest sectors of employment. But auto jobs have been on a steep decline, dropping this year to their lowest level since 2005, according to the country's statistics office.

The planned cuts at Volkswagen would represent another drastic reduction. The company has faced scrutiny for years for its oversize headcount. Including its Chinese joint ventures, the Volkswagen Group employed some 667,000 people in 2025, with about 286,000 in Germany.

The proposed layoffs at Volkswagen would rival some of the biggest job cuts in history by a global automaker.

The meeting in Wolfsburg, where Volkswagen employs roughly 70,000 people, comes after the company's executive board unveiled a massive restructuring plan earlier this summer. The planned overhaul for 2030 could drastically cut Volkswagen's vehicle lineup, lead to the closure of four plants in Germany and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs.

Though the scope of the layoffs is not final, Blume mentioned eliminating 50,000 jobs in his remarks to employees in Wolfsburg. But labor representatives fear the true number is likely to be much larger and could top 100,000.

According to excerpts provided by the company, Blume told workers that roughly half the job cuts would be in Germany. But Blume said the company would try to minimize the impact on current workers, relying “as much as possible” on other means of workforce reduction, such as restricting hiring and offering phased early retirement programs.

In a statement, Daniela Cavallo, chairwoman of the Volkswagen Works Council — which aims to advance employees' interests in discussions with management — welcomed finally hearing, "information directly from the CEO." But she said workers are still waiting to learn what the cuts "will mean specifically for the brands and companies, and therefore also for the main plant."

Because of Volkswagen's unique ownership and supervisory board structure, German labor representatives and the German state of Lower Saxony have a say in major decisions. Labor representatives have publicly pushed back on the executive board's plan, and the government of Lower Saxony holds an influential 20 percent voting stake.

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

KETLAIN DIFFICILE/AP
Haitians deported from the United States deplane in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, on Thursday.

EDITORIALS

A U.N. force was supposed to secure Haiti. A year later, gangs rule.

A MASSACRE OF 47 PEOPLE in Haiti last weekend is a grisly reminder of just how violent and lawless the Caribbean island remains — and how much a U.N.-backed international mission to restore stability is struggling a year after being approved. This is the situation to which Haitians living in the United States are being forcibly returned.

Last Sunday's killings occurred in the once-peaceful town of Kenscoff in the hills above the violence-wracked capital, Port-au-Prince. Kenscoff is next to Pétion-Ville, the relatively affluent suburb that is home to upscale hotels, the beleaguered government and what remains of the diplomatic community. Some 22 innocent civilians were slaughtered in a church. Houses were burned and women were raped, authorities said. About 50 people were taken as hostages.

The message from Haiti's gangs: No one, anywhere, is beyond their reach.

Last September, the U.N. Security Council approved a U.S.-sponsored plan to send a 5,550-member Gang Suppression Force to restore order and prop up the country's fledgling government. These peacekeepers were supposed to replace the hapless Kenyan-led police force, which struggled from the start with inadequate personnel and weapons and with navigating rules of engagement that required them to mostly provide backup to outgunned local police.

The U.N.-backed entity came with a more forceful mandate to take the fight to the gangs and disarm them. But the force has been underfunded and numbered only about 1,000 as of last month.

Haiti's government, led by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, has made limited tactical gains against gangs in the central part of the capital. That's mostly thanks to drone strikes carried out by the private security company Vectus Global, led by Erik Prince.

But the criminal gangs still control about 70 percent of Port-au-Prince and are expanding their reach into the countryside. Gangs have raided agricultural land and killed farmers in the breadbasket region of Artibonite and the south around Séguin. More than 1,400 people were killed between April and June, according to the U.N., and 1.5 million people across Haiti are displaced.

It's into this maelstrom that the U.S. is flying Haitian migrants who were stripped of their temporary protected status, known as TPS. The Trump administration insists the island is safe enough to receive the approximately 350,000 Haitians the U.S. wants to deport. These are people who have been legally living and working in the U.S. under TPS. Many work in health care and home care.

Commercial flights from the U.S. to

Haiti have been blocked amid reports of aircraft being struck by gunfire. But the Trump administration is sending planes of Haitians back to the island on deportation flights. The latest arrived Thursday, carrying about 70 people, including children.

President Joe Biden deserves some blame for his rapid overexpansion of the TPS program from about 400,000 beneficiaries to about 1.3 million people from 17 countries. Biden, in effect, created a backdoor immigration system that was always going to become politically untenable. The TPS program was meant to be “temporary,” as its name suggests.

President Donald Trump and U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz deserve credit, along with co-sponsor Panama, for pushing the gang suppression force through the Security Council. Last fall, Waltz said that, after years of failing the island, “the international community is sharing the burden, and living up to its promise to help Haiti turn the tide.” Alas, the tide has not turned, and Haiti is drowning.

The U.N. force lacks the money and people needed to succeed. With guarantees of U.S. funding and equipment, more countries might be persuaded to contribute to a security force. With sustained, high-level attention, Haiti could be pulled back from the abyss. That would make sending home the 350,000 TPS recipients morally defensible.

How to keep global hunger declining

The Aug. 24 editorial “World hunger decline is the fruit of growth” rightfully praised falling global hunger. Although this progress is encouraging, there is still much to do to address food insecurity.

The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2026 report from the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization showed that child and maternal nutrition metrics are improving at a snail's pace, with anemia rates among women of reproductive age climbing and less than one-third of children aged 6 to 23 months achieving a minimally diverse diet. And though incomes available for food increased relative to food prices, families' ability to buy quality, nutritious foods is another matter. Investment must target affordability, especially for fruits and vegetables. Seventy to 75 percent of what consumers pay for a healthy diet accrues after the "farmgate," which is the net price paid directly to a farmer for a product before adding transport, processing or retail cost. To address this, there should be continued funding along the entire value chain. Investment in infrastructure and fiscal support redirected toward high-cost nutritious foods rather than commodity grains are essential to drastically decrease the number of moderately or severely food insecure people, currently numbering 2.1 billion.

Bring the score book back to the ballpark

Regarding Will Leitch's Aug. 22 column, "The old-school tradition making a comeback at the ballpark":

I, too, used to be a compulsive scorekeeper at baseball games. Keeping score pitch-by-pitch was as natural to me as breathing while taking in a game.

My passion, though, was minor league baseball. I often went to DMV-area teams' games, but I also toured more than 80 ballparks over the years. My score book was my constant companion, and it was a great conversation starter when I attended games by myself.

My mementos include not only the written details of the game but also the ticket stubs (remember those?), which I taped in the back of the score book, as well as autographs of players who never made it to the major leagues, such as Pork Chop Pough and Bubba Smith, and mustard stains from hot dogs past.

These books are the ultimate souvenirs. When I look back from time to time, memories of the games and the strangers who became friends for nine innings flood back.

No T-shirt, ball cap or even photograph captures the experience quite the way these beat-up old notebooks do.

The Pentagon loses a battle in its unnecessary war with Anthropic

CT IN HASTE, repent at leisure. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, take note.

A federal judge on Thursday struck down the Trump administration's sweeping effort to blacklist Anthropic, ruling that the Pentagon unlawfully retaliated against the artificial intelligence company and exceeded its authorities by labeling the firm a risk to national security.

The Pentagon had good reason to be frustrated with Anthropic. Its mistake was using a legal bazooka, which transformed a legitimate dispute over the terms of use for software into a sprawling campaign that handed the company an early win in an ongoing legal war.

The confrontation boiled over shortly after the January operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. An Anthropic executive contacted a counterpart at defense contractor Palantir, asking whether Anthropic's Claude model had been used. Pentagon officials took the inquiry as suggesting that Anthropic might object to the model's use in kinetic operations, an interpretation the company disputes.

The episode escalated tensions that had been building for months. Anthropic signed a government contract last year that included restrictions on its models being used in fully autonomous weapons and for mass domestic surveillance. A few months later, the Trump administration began negotiations to loosen those restrictions, insisting the Pentagon must have the authority to use the tools for all lawful purposes. A private company, the government argued, cannot have veto power over decisions made by democratically elected officials. Anthropic was refusing to bend.

GARY C. KLEIN/USA TODAY NETWORK VIA REUTERS CONNECT
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The firm's perhaps casual inquiry into the Venezuela operation incensed the administration. President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic technology, and Hegseth invoked two supply-chain laws aimed at hurting its business.

U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin rejected that gambit. She held that Hegseth's invocation of a law aimed at protecting government systems from an “adversary” that might sabotage or subvert them was arbitrary and capricious. She blocked Trump's government-wide ban and Hegseth's attempt to prevent other military contractors from doing unrelated business with Anthropic.

But Lin's ruling does not resolve the matter. The administration may appeal the decision. A second case, under a separate law, remains pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. That court has allowed the Pentagon to continue excluding Anthropic while the case proceeds, calling the questions presented “novel and difficult.”

None of this was necessary. Spooked by Anthropic, the Pentagon accelerated efforts to bring competing models onto its classified networks. By May, the military reached agreements with eight other technology companies, reducing dependence on any single entity. When Anthropic subsequently developed Mythos, an advanced model with extraordinary cybersecurity capabilities, the government found reason to work with the company again, even as the Pentagon continued to call Anthropic a supply-chain risk.

The lesson should be obvious. The government is right to be worried about private contractors second-guessing its lawful decisions in combat. But lashing out has helped no one.

Eric Mitchell, Washington The writer is president of the Alliance to End Hunger.

The July report from the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, which found that global hunger fell for a third straight year, brought genuinely good news. But I disagree with the singular conclusion in the Aug. 24 editorial “World hunger decline is the fruit of growth” that the best way to sustain progress “is to create conditions for economic freedom and the growth it brings.”

The report's final chapter warned that shocks such as El Niño-driven droughts and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz spike fertilizer and food prices, rapidly reversing progress. I know from my work running the U.S. Agency for International Development's long-term food security bureau and its emergency food aid programs that chronic and acute hunger require different tools, but both require government engagement.

The report's prescription is not laissez faire: Government investment in agricultural productivity and rural infrastructure, targeted social protection, and coordinated action with the private sector are essential to combating world hunger. That the Trump administration dismantled USAID and that it refuses to fully spend food security funds appropriated by Congress are not side issues to this story. The U.S. government is stymieing the very things the report says progress depends on.

Dina Esposito, Arlington The writer, a former director of USAID's Office of Food for Peace, is a board member of Aid on the Hill.

Will Leitch's column about attending and scoring games with his father brought back some fond memories for me.

I attended my first pro baseball game 70 years ago with my father in Shibe Park in Philadelphia, where the Phillies beat the Cincinnati Redlegs 10-6. Seeing Richie Ashburn, Del Ennis and Jack Meyer in the flesh was a thrill for a 9-year-old fan. I have attended many games over the years, which always involved looking at my card and filling out the scores in pencil.

On June 14, I went with my son and wife to see the Nationals play the Seattle Mariners. But when I asked to buy a program book and score book, the clerk told me that the Nats were no longer printing and selling them. I was crestfallen! However, Luis García Jr. threw me a ball in the stands. It was the first ball that I ever caught. So I wrote the date and score on the ball, and I cut out and laminated the box score that was printed in The Post. I will not be attending any more Nats games because I can no longer score them.

An unlikely state makes a bold bet on experimental medical treatments

BY VICKI NORTON

My 84-year-old mother succumbed to pancreatic cancer while exploring experimental therapies after standard care failed. State and federal right-to-try laws

allow patients like my mom to seek more-promising early-stage treatments. But these laws do not provide enough infrastructure to help patients wade through options and red tape.

Legislative reform, however, is gaining momentum in one unlikely place: Montana.

By enacting S.B. 535 in 2025, Montana became the first state to establish a licensing framework for experimental treatment centers where patients can seek help in accessing therapies that have completed Phase 1 clinical trials but are still under evaluation for safety and efficacy by the Food and Drug Administration.

In 2023, Montana extended its right-to-try law beyond interventions for serious and life-threatening conditions. But the 2025 law goes further. It introduces a category of licensed health care facilities authorized to recommend and administer investigational treatments. Montana created not just a legal right for patients to seek early-stage options but an infrastructure to deliver them.

The practical effect is significant. Montana is now positioned as a destination for medical tourists seeking antiaging drugs, stem cell procedures and other therapies that have cleared initial safety trials but remain years away from FDA approval.

Initial concerns that S.B. 535 was too skewed toward patient rights at the expense of patient safety have been partly allayed by regulations implementing safeguards, which were notably absent from the statute itself. For example, the regulations adopted by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services in July require reporting side effects, forming independent boards to approve clinical decisions, and developing programs to ensure quality by reviewing, for example, patient grievances and outcomes. In addition, centers must meet staffing and governance requirements, including retaining a medical director with a Montana license in good standing, who will develop and maintain a system for tracking patient outcomes and treatment approval status.

But additional questions remain.

The right-to-try movement began at the state level in 2014 to promote patient rights. Within four years, 40 states had enacted some form of right-to-try legislation, creating momentum that Congress could not ignore. By May 2018, a federal right-to-try bill was signed into law. The state laws normalized right-to-try, created a political constituency of patients and advocacy groups, and generated pressure for a uniform federal framework that reduced uncertainty for manufacturers operating across state lines.

Could Montana trigger a similar groundswell? There are reasons to think that these new facilities may not gain the same traction. Original right-to-try laws were narrowly targeted at seriously ill patients seeking last-resort access to drugs still being tested — a politically sympathetic population with a straightforward narrative. Montana's law is far more expansive, establishing a system for delivering experimental treatments to patients with any condition at negotiated prices.

ILLUSTRATION BY CHLOE COLEMAN/THE WASHINGTON POST; ISTOCK

Further, part of the rationale for S.B. 535 was to address the geographic gap in access felt acutely in Montana and other rural states underrepresented in clinical trials. To ensure that the treatment centers do not just become destinations for wealthy out-of-state tourists while leaving Montanans behind, S.B. 535 requires these new centers to allocate 2 percent of net profits to support access to care for qualifying Montana residents.

The law's expansive scope, set against a policy objective rooted largely in Montana's access-to-care challenges, may limit its appeal to other states and draw criticism from regulators and patient advocates who view the legislation as insufficiently protective of patient safety, notwithstanding the regulations.

A more pressing concern is whether federal action is needed to address legal exposure for manufacturers or clinics shipping unapproved treatments to Montana. The federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act generally prohibits introducing unapproved drugs into interstate commerce.

The federal right-to-try act carved out an exemption for eligible novel drugs provided to patients with serious or life-threatening ailments, but S.B. 535 allows for the sale of experimental treatments at licensed facilities to a broad patient population.

Two questions remain: whether the federal right-to-try exemption covers this new model — at least for dire health issues — and whether the FDA will decline to exercise its enforcement discretion against manufacturers shipping products to Montana.

If the state succeeds and others follow, the resulting patchwork of licensing regimes may generate demand for federal clarification through congressional legislation or FDA guidance. But manufacturers, investors and providers considering early entry into Montana's experimental treatment-center market cannot afford to wait. They need clarity on federal legal exposure today.

CBS News wants a new Andy Rooney. It should study the original first.

Last week, the media website Breaker reported that embattled “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton, empowered by equally embattled CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss, wants to bring a long-lost segment back to the show: “A Few Minutes With.” The segment, featuring Andy Rooney, ran for more than 33 years until Rooney’s retirement in 2011 at 92. Bilton and Weiss are reportedly eyeing comedians (who, not coincidentally, tend to share Weiss’s woke-skeptical worldview) such as Jerry Seinfeld (he turned it down) and John Cleese. With the show slated to return, much revamped and missing staples like Scott Pelley, on Sept. 13, they had better find someone fast.

If they're going to replace Rooney, it's probably worth remembering who he really was.

Contrary to how it may have seemed at the time, Andy Rooney was not, in fact, born delivering commentaries to camera on Sunday nights. As we learn from “Andy Rooney: A Lucky Life,” a terrific soon-to-be-released biography by Paul Grondahl, Rooney was an old-school journalist first and foremost.

He started his career covering World War II for Stars and Stripes alongside his lifelong best friend, Walter Cronkite. (Cronkite famously described a bombing over Germany as an “assignment to hell,” a phrase Rooney for years mocked as too purple.) Rooney stood out, even then, for his lack of concern about decorum or likability. The only goal was the purest journalistic one: Tell the truth.

Covering the war for Stars and Stripes — a publication renowned for its independence (and currently under assault by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth) from the government that funded it — Rooney skewered sacred cows such as Ernest Hemingway (“you could tell he was having the time of his life playing war”) and, especially, George Patton, whom he called “a foulmouthed boor who got too many American soldiers killed for the sake of enhancing his own reputation.” Patton wrote an angry letter to Stars and Stripes about that kind of coverage, to no effect. Rooney would eventually win the Bronze Star Medal for his work.

After the war, Rooney wrote for newspapers and, eventually, television: He won his first Emmy for CBS in 1968, quit two years later when CBS refused to run a segment called “An Essay on War,” went on PBS to recite it (his first-ever appearance reading his own piece in front of a television camera) and was hired back by CBS a couple of years later. The “60 Minutes” gig happened because audiences hated a point-counterpoint segment (witheringly mocked by Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin on “Saturday Night Live”). They gave Rooney the last 2½ minutes and got an instant hit in return.

Rooney went at the peculiarities and indignities of American life with the same clear-eyed relentlessness that he went at Patton with. His commentaries were often about light subjects — why cereal boxes were only half full, why electronic devices broke almost immediately — but they were based in an everyman perspective that was, more than anything, about the consumer standing up to corporate mistreatment. Grondahl writes: "He stood up for the little guy, railed against big business, spit in the eye of charlatans, exposed phoniness, skewered pomposity, groused about everyday annoyances, and stuck to a bedrock philosophy sometimes mistaken for churlishness." That's who Rooney was: He was always trying to be a truth-teller.

This could get him into trouble. A quote from Pelley in the book is exactly right: "Andy understood that popularity has nothing whatever to do with journalism," he says. "He always had the courage of his convictions and he didn't give a damn what anyone thought about what he wrote." Pelley's right about popularity having nothing to do with journalism, but Rooney's perspective could be blinkered, whether it was mocking Kurt Cobain days after his suicide or, most notoriously, commenting on Black parents and same-sex marriage, which prompted CBS to suspend him. But he was also willing to change and, more important, to learn, saying on air that he didn't want to be "someone who had made life a little more difficult.... I felt terrible about that." Rooney would make strong statements, but they were never hot takes, and, like any good journalist, he tried to fix the holes in his thinking.

He was also, in the purest sense, a dogged working writer: In his career, he wrote an estimated 2,000 syndicated newspaper columns and some 1,000 television commentaries, all from a desk he built by hand and dragged into the “60 Minutes” office by himself. He rarely missed a show. He died about a month after leaving the show, nearly fulfilling the writer’s dream of doing what you love so much and for so long that, in the end, you just conk out at your desk.

The idea of the new “60 Minutes” having a Rooneyesque segment isn’t bad. But Rooney wasn’t popular, or beloved, because he just reacted to whatever dumb controversy happened to be making headlines. He was popular and beloved because he was trusted. And he was trusted because he took core journalistic principles and used them the way they’re supposed to be used: by sticking up for the little guy.

He was, at his core, one of us. Any replacement would do well to remember one of Rooney's best quotes: "I just try to put down on paper some of the thoughts that have crossed my mind because I'm average enough so they've probably crossed the reader's too. I'm satisfied trying to quantify the obvious." In this age of disinformation, chaos and grift, I can think of no more noble calling. Here's hoping his replacement hears it, too, because we've never needed it more.

ECONOMY & BUSINESS

Labor market was weaker than reported early in Trump's term

The U.S. economy created even fewer jobs than originally reported in the private sector from April 2025 through March, as President Donald Trump's tariffs and other policies took hold over parts of the economy.

Private employers added 178,000 fewer jobs than previously reported during that period, and jobs declined in retail, wholesale trade and manufacturing, according to revised jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Friday.

Overall, the revisions to the jobs data were smaller compared to massive revisions in 2024 and 2025, and they were buoyed by public sector hiring.

“In general, it is consistent with the labor market cooling, but the temperature is falling more slowly this period than the prior two [years],” said Guy Berger, director of economic research at the Burning Glass Institute, a think tank that studies the labor market.

In recent years, the revisions data has shown the economy to be much weaker than previously thought, throwing the nonpartisan statistical agency into the spotlight and angering Trump and his allies.

However, between job reductions in the private sector and gains in the public sector, the data released Friday showed 79,000 fewer jobs over the 12-month period than initially reported, a minor adjustment compared to last year's revisions.

However, the data suggests that an already soft labor market was weaker than previously thought. That doesn't bode well for the Trump administration, which has been hammered on the economy ahead of the midterm elections, as higher prices weigh on Americans.

"Compared to historical revisions that found Biden-era job growth to have been overstated by millions, this minor revision shows that construction employment is actually up by 62,000 more jobs than previously thought – a strong leading indicator of future growth," White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a written statement.

But manufacturing, which had been shedding jobs because of tariffs, lost 67,000 more jobs than previously reported, Friday's data showed. Retail, another struggling sector, shed 154,000 more jobs from April 2025 through March 2026 than initial estimates showed.

But construction and utilities sectors appear stronger. Both saw job growth during that period fueled by the data center boom, expanding with a combined 70,000 more jobs over that period, the new data shows.

Last summer, Trump took the unprecedented step of firing BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer following the release of a grim jobs report that he claimed, without evidence, had been “rigged.” The following month, BLS unveiled revisions showing employers had created 911,000 fewer jobs than previously thought, the largest downward revision on record, and the White House declared that the agency was “broken.”

Economists, however, have shot down accusations that the data is unreliable, attributing large revisions to a variety of factors. When the economy is rapidly growing or shrinking — as it did during the pandemic, or as it can at the start of a recession — large changes can result, because it is harder for surveys to capture how many businesses are opening or shutting down, they say. Major shifts in immigration flows in recent years may have also distorted the data. The issues causing those revisions appeared to have at least partially resolved this year, and there were smaller adjustments to the data.

However, declining response rates to government phone and online surveys used to collect the data still plague the agency.

McEntarfer's firing last year ignited fears that Trump would try to coerce the agency into producing more favorable numbers. But economists — including McEntarfer, who is now a research fellow at Stanford University — widely agree that there remains no evidence of interference in the data, which is subject to strict agency procedures and protocols. The Trump administration installed Brett Matsumoto as the new leader at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A career government economist who most recently worked in Trump's White House, Matsumoto inherits challenges including rebuilding public trust in the data and addressing survey response rates. The agency's budget has fallen behind inflation and many BLS positions remain vacant after Trump administration cuts to the federal government workforce.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the revised jobs numbers as part of an annual process, known as benchmarking. The revisions are preliminary and will be finalized in early 2027.

AI firm Anthropic wins its lawsuit challenging Pentagon's blacklisting

Judge rules company was illegally labeled a ‘supply chain risk’

BY IAN DUNCAN

The artificial intelligence company Anthropic won a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's decision to brand the company a national security risk earlier this year, blocking it from doing business with the entire government and military contractors.

A federal judge in San Francisco ruled Thursday that the government's actions — justified largely by a four-page memo — were “illegal and baseless.”

Anthropic's leaders clashed with top defense officials in February over the Pentagon's demand that it must be allowed to use the company's AI models for any lawful purpose. The company sought guarantees that its systems would not be used to power fully autonomous weapons or carry out mass domestic surveillance.

Defense officials refused, and labeled the company a supply chain risk — a designation with far reaching consequences for Anthropic's business that the judge ruled threatened to “cripple” the company by shutting it out of federal contracts.

U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin in San Francisco ruled Thursday that while the Pentagon was free to pick and choose which contractors it works with, the administration had no basis for taking such sweeping actions.

Officials’ “contemporaneous words and deeds confirm that the challenged actions were based on a desire to make a public example out of Anthropic for its ‘arrogance’ in criticizing the government,” Lin wrote.

Anthropic makes the ChatGPT rival Claude, which has over the past year become popular with software companies for its coding skills. Thursday's ruling follows a preliminary order by the judge in March and represents a stinging rebuke of the Trump administration's handling of the situation. But a separate but overlapping case in Washington is still playing out.

DADO RUVIC/REUTERS

The government's lawyers said at a recent hearing in the case that the Pentagon was continuing to remove Anthropic's tools from its systems, and expected to complete the work by the end of September.

Anthropic had sought guarantees from the Pentagon that its systems would not be used to power fully autonomous weapons or carry out mass domestic surveillance.

Anthropic said on Thursday that it welcomed the judge's decision.

“We remain focused on working productively with the government to harness AI for our national security so all Americans benefit from this technology,” the company said in a statement.

The Pentagon and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Anthropic was the first AI company to be cleared to work on classified government systems in 2024 and initially worked enthusiastically with defense officials. When the battle between the two sides reached its climax in late February, it appeared that the relationship between one of the nation's leading AI companies and the federal government would be left badly damaged.

The Trump administration's stance softened in April, when Anthropic announced it had developed a new model called

Mythos that had powerful new computer hacking abilities. Federal officials raced to get their hands on the technology to understand the risks it posed, and Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei visited the White House.

Lin wrote in her decision Thursday that the government's

BANKING

Operations limited by Trump administration

The Trump administration is taking steps to limit an Egyptian bank's operations in the United Arab Emirates, accusing the financial institution of serving as an economic lifeline to Tehran's leadership as the U.S. war against Iran reaches the six-month mark.

Under a new rule proposed Friday by the Treasury Department, the Emirati branches of Banque Misr, Egypt's second-largest bank, would be severed from access to the U.S. financial system.

It follows Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's announcement this week of a new campaign to push countries that still do business with the already heavily sanctioned Islamic Republic to sever their financial ties or face retaliation from the United States.

In stopping short of imposing sanctions on the Egyptian bank, the move signals the Republican administration's reluctance to penalize major trading partners that do business with Iran,

including China and India. Bessent told reporters on Monday that he wanted countries to have an opportunity to shift away from Iran before it was too late in a bid to avoid upending the global financial system.

The rule will be subject to a 30-day public comment period before it takes effect, the Treasury Department said.

Egypt's foreign ministry and central bank confirmed knowledge of the new rulemaking and are communicating with U.S. officials, according to a statement issued by the Central Bank of Egypt on Friday.

It added that the measure does not affect any other Egyptian bank and does not extend to the Banque Misr's operations inside Egypt or to any of its overseas branches.

QUANTUM COMPUTERS Canada to lend \$140M for plant

The Canadian government will loan \$140.78 million to Xanadu Quantum for setting up a plant that would make photonic components for quantum computers, in the country's largest ever support for the technology.

The move, unveiled on Friday, highlights growing global interest in quantum computers and comes months after the Trump administration decided to take \$2 billion in equity stakes across nine quantum-computing firms to secure U.S. leadership.

Experts have long touted quantum computers' potential to solve problems regular computers cannot and speed up scientific discoveries, but the technology remains error prone because of its extreme sensitivity to any disturbances including sound.

Friday's loan covers the federal portion of up to C\$390 million in potential government funding Xanadu announced in March. The company said it expects to announce a deal for the remaining sum of up to C\$195 million, from Ontario's provincial government, “in the near future.”

Xanadu said it would use the federal loan to help build a manufacturing plant for photonics in Toronto, without sharing the terms.

Inspectors find tank was not fit for service

An inspection contractor found a chemical tank at a Washington state paper mill "not fit for continued service" 10 months before it failed in May, killing 11 in one of the deadliest U.S. workplace disasters in recent decades, according to a federal report released Friday.

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board's update about the May 26 failure in Longview, which expelled enough caustic liquid to blow out building walls, is part of an ongoing investigation. The federal agency said it is still determining the cause of the failure.

The board found that the contractor provided Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company with recommendations for internal inspections and shell repairs, but the company did none between a July 2025 inspection and the May 2026 failure.

The Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers released a statement on Friday saying the board's findings were "deeply troubling."

A lawyer representing the family of two brothers who were killed, Tyler and Bradley Covington, said the board's findings are "nothing short of alarming."

In July 2025, the contractor found “significant thinning” below the minimum safe thickness in the lower regions of the tank after an external inspection, according to the board’s report. The minimum safe thickness is a threshold that measures a tank’s ability to contain the pressure of the liquid and support the tank’s weight, the report said.

The same contractor inspected the exterior of the tank in October 2025 and February 2026 and both times identified that “large portions of the tank remained thinner than the calculated minimum safe wall thickness.”

The tank failure released roughly 900,000 gallons of a liquid known as white liquor that is used to break down wood for making paper products and is capable of causing severe burns. In addition to the workers killed, several others and one firefighter were injured.

The abject hell of the Lindsay Clancy trial

The Massachusetts woman is on trial for killing her 3 children, but she's already been damned

BY MONICA HESSE

In the waning days of Lindsay Clancy's trial this week, the final witness, a neatly trimmed forensic psychiatrist, told the jury what Lindsay had told him about the evening she killed her three children. According to the doctor, Lindsay said she'd brought her middle child, 3-year-old Dawson, to the basement first, and then her 5-year-old, Cora, downstairs to a separate room. The baby was last, which might have been why doctors were able to briefly restart a heartbeat once he was rushed to the hospital after his father returned home. Callan was 8 months old.

Before we go any further, there are not enough trigger warnings in the universe to prepare you to have watched this trial, which has been live-streamed every day since it began last month, and for which the jury began deliberations Thursday afternoon. It will probably give you nightmares. It certainly gave them to me. It became a referendum on motherhood and mental health, but also on conspiracy theories and courtroom demeanor, and women's hair accessories, all against the backdrop of the worst thing you can imagine.

Lindsay's accounting of events has occasionally shifted in minute details over the past three years. But she's never changed the basic contours of her story, which is that on Jan. 24, 2023, she suggested takeout for dinner and, while her husband, Patrick, was retrieving it, she heard a voice commanding her to kill their children, so that she could then kill herself. She strangled the children with exercise bands. Then she went upstairs, swallowed an assortment of pills, sliced her neck with a knife, and jumped out a secondary window.

The pills, the knife and the fall were not enough to end her life, but she did mangle her spine on impact, an injury that left her permanently using a wheelchair.

Her survival turned an already tragic story into a ghoulish one, because an alive Lindsay Clancy is one who must account for her actions. She was arrested and, this month in Massachusetts, sat before a jury of her peers in a trial that has made so many home viewers completely lose their bearings.

Throughout the four weeks that I have spent following Lindsay Clancy's trial and the online response, I have heard observers speculate that she is a monster. I have heard them speculate that she is a victim. That she is a loving mother and a criminal master-mind. I have heard that she is a psychopath. That she made her psychiatrist fall in love with her. I have viewed security-footage stills from a CVS, which online commenters swore was game-changing, and which they marked up with arrows and circles. Only no matter how many times I looked, I couldn't tell what those arrows and circles were supposed to mean.

Songs that showcase Parton's brilliance

As a singer and songwriter, the country music maven worked overtime on ‘9 to 5’ and other hits

BY ETHAN BECK

Over the years, Dolly Parton steadily transformed into a mythical figure. Parton, who died Tuesday at 80, was the consummate business executive behind Dollywood, the mastermind behind a book-gifting program, the philanthropic giant whose donation helped spur the Moderna vaccine for the coronavirus. Each of those pieces of her public-facing persona seemed to naturally grow from a vast discography where Parton established herself as hardscrabble, emotionally forthright and full of intuition.

She was that rare singer-songwriter whose unparalleled gifts remained clear across her entire career, no matter if she was dabbling in disco, pop or full-throated rock. But Parton's dual roles as vocalist and composer were rare for women in the 1960s. "I really couldn't make a choice: I have to write and I have to sing, and I'd rather do both," she said in 1967, estimating that she'd already written a few hundred songs. Here are just six of the plainspoken, infectious classics that Parton was behind:

'Your Ole Handy Man' (1967)

Many might point to “Dumb Blonde,” which contained the assertion that Parton “ain’t nobody’s fool,” as an early example of how she built a larger-than-life persona. But “Your Ole Handy Man” remains an astute look at how domestic labor gets undervalued in relationships. A tumbling drum groove and healthy harmonies assist Parton as she rebukes her lover as being “as helpless as a baby.”

FINDING EMILY ★★★☆

British rom-com is predictable but still charming

BY LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press

Late August can be a depressing time at the movie theater, but there's a gem to be found in the British romantic comedy "Finding Emily," now in theaters. Here, finally, is a smart, funny and sweet story about young love that moviegoing audiences deserve. Yes, the setup is contrived — it even fits almost entirely into a movie trailer — but it's in a way that's familiar and grounded enough, and unlike the insanely dystopian "One Night Only." There are no ridiculous laws against premarital sex on this university campus in Manchester; Just regular young people getting in their own way.

The movie begins with one of those too-good-to-be-true meet-cutes, where Owen (Spike Fearn) finds his dream girl (Sadie Sover-all) who is dressed in a fairy costume and seems to be into him. Brit pop plays in the background and the world seems to fade away. The night takes her elsewhere with her friends, but not before she gives her number to Owen. He leaves on cloud nine, wondering how much time to let pass before SEE 'FINDING EMILY' ON B2

Clancy's trial has been fodder for an array of would-be armchair detectives

SCREENS FROM B1

Clancy's children. I have heard people speculate Patrick did it, then pushed his wife out the window, then she got amnesia, then became gaslit into believing she is the guilty one.

She is the guilty one — she has never denied that her children died at her hands. The question is whether she's legally guilty. The question is whether Lindsay, who had been struggling mightily with mental health issues after the birth of her third child, who was suffering from insomnia, and who had been prescribed multiple antidepressants and sleep aids that she did not feel were working, was undergoing a psychotic break at the time of the deaths.

The defense implied she was overmedicated and failed by clinicians who should have realized she was a danger to herself and others. They said she lacked the capacity to understand that what she was doing was wrong and should be found not guilty by reason of insanity.

The prosecution's argument is that, while Lindsay might have been suffering, on the night of the deaths, she was still able to understand that killing her children was both wrong and criminal. But she wanted to end her own mental suffering, so she proceeded with a course of action that required both haste and planning.

“What types of decisions had to be made to effectuate the strangulation of the children?” one prosecutor asked a psychologist on the stand earlier this week.

"There are many ongoing decisions that have to be made to accomplish a killing like this in 18 to 20 minutes," the psychologist said. "For example: Why the basement? Who among the children goes first? What do you say to the kids to keep them from panicking?"

Is there significance in the fact that Lindsay may have crushed the pills before swallowing them? What to make of the fact that the restaurant Lindsay suggested was one the Clancys didn't typically frequent? Or that she'd timed out the route before sending Patrick to pick up the food?

Maybe nothing. Maybe there is no significance. But when a complicated case is presented on YouTube, suddenly everyone believes it's something, that they have cracked the whole thing open, in ways that doctors, investigators, lawyers and Lindsay herself could not.

This case was blood in the water for every would-be arm-chair detective, circling and ready to divvy up the misery. The horror became a project, the grief became must-see TV; if you watched on YouTube, as I did, testimony about the effects of Wellbutrin, for example, might be periodically interrupted by ads for bunch-free underwear or industrial-strength packing materials.

While watching the live stream, I wondered a lot about the trial's camera operator. For most of the court proceedings, the lens remained focused on whomever was testifying, a series of experts and family acquaintances.

But sometimes the camera would pan to Lindsay. As if the operator knew that viewers wouldn't want to simply evaluate expert testimony, but witness

Lindsay's reaction and then evaluate that, too.

She normally sat expressionless and still, brown hair held in place with a headband and curled around her shoulders. Who can guess what was going on in her mind? I don't know if, in a situation like that, you force yourself to be present for the horror, or you attempt to escape by trying to remember all the transition metals on the periodic table. All the European capitals. Something like that.

At one point, while a medical expert described examining the lifeless body of Cora Clancy, Lindsay's shoulders began to heave up and down as she sobbed. "I can't do this," she wailed.

Lindsay's face was largely blocked from view as the court hastily adjourned for a recess, but we could still hear her crying, "I can't do this; I can't do this," until the camera panned to the place it always did during breaks, to the blue Massachusetts seal on the courtroom wall.

Have I gotten it wrong? Left something out? If you are one of the spectators who has been following this trial, your answer is almost certainly yes, I did not properly interpret the circles and arrows, I left out the most important thing. Something to do with Patrick's involvement as a husband, maybe, or with Lindsay's career as a labor and delivery nurse, or with the difference between hearing voices and having intrusive thoughts.

We want to really nail this down. To have it all make sense and learn the secret of what compelled Lindsay to kill her children.

If you believe Lindsay should be found guilty, it might be because this is the most hideous act you can imagine, and you think that a mother's love should be able to supersede any alleged voices in your head.

If you believe she should be found not guilty, it might be because you want to believe that if a good mother — and Lindsay was by all accounts a good mother — kills her children, then she must have been insane while doing it.

Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a bathtub after her husband persuaded her to have another baby — despite doctors' warnings that another pregnancy would be ruinous to her mental health. She was initially found guilty until the case was thrown out; in a new trial she was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Susan Smith pushed a car containing her two sons into a lake, and then blamed it on a fictitious hijacker. She was not unwell, just unimaginable.

But almost everyone seems to agree that Lindsay Clancy was desperately, desperately sick. At various points, we learned in the trial, specialists who treated or interviewed Lindsay speculated that she might have had major depressive disorder. Or adjustment disorder with anxiety and depression. Bipolar disorder. Bipolar 2. Postpartum depression. Postpartum psychosis. Postpartum stress disorder.

A courtroom is not the right place for this, I found myself thinking more than once. Which is ridiculous because the courtroom is the only place we have for this. But our legal system is adversarial, so jurors have to choose one option or the other: either she was a failed by the medical system, or she was a monster.

It seemed to me, though, that Lindsay was often helped by many professionals to the best of their ability. She had outpatient treatment. Inpatient. She was referred for talk therapy. She was prescribed medications, some of which she was afraid to take because of the side effects. The family was close with Lindsay's parents, and they offered help. The family was close with Patrick's parents, and they offered help.

Lindsay was begging for help. Everyone tried to help. But there are vast chasms of the mind that we still do not understand, that we try to fit into our personal concepts of “motherly instinct,” and that we then expect a court to figure out.

We can't nail it down. It's not going to make sense. That is the secret.

I'm going to tell you something that nearly every mother has said when we have discussed this case at the swimming pool, or on the sidewalk after pickup or in a group chat that originally started because of Dolly Parton. The thing that almost every mother has said is, I would be dead by now.

As in, Lindsay did not ultimately end her own life when she ended her children's, but how did she not try again later? How does she continue to wake up every morning?

One mental health expert testified that Lindsay was now “future oriented,” which we were left to assume is an official psychological term referring to the ability to envision and plan ahead, but which I heard and thought, what future is there? What future would she want there to be?

“She did nothing wrong in her life,” her attorney said in closing arguments. “She was a nurse, a daughter, a wife and a darn good mother,” who ended up in a nightmare “because of the damn medicine and the lousy medical care.”

“She was depressed,” the prosecutor said in her closing arguments. “She was exhausted. She was done. She didn’t want to try anymore, she felt damaged. Those kids were her protective factor. They were keeping her from ending her misery. And so she had to remove the protective factor.”

I have been watching this trial for days. I have been nauseated by it at night. Sometimes when I can't sleep I tiptoe in to look at my sleeping daughter, who is the same age that Cora Clancy was when she died, thinking about what I would do if someone hurt her. And then thinking about if that person was me.

I sit there on the edge of the bed, and after weeks of doing nothing but hearing people try to convince me of Lindsay Clancy's guilt or innocence, I find myself having a difficult time caring about the outcome. Because I have a difficult time picturing caring about the outcome even if I were Lindsay Clancy.

Instead, I wonder if I'd be thinking: Punish me. Don't punish me. Send me to prison. Send me to the hospital. Send me home. It does not matter to me. None of it matters to me. Give me my children. Give me back January 23. Punish me or don't, but there is nothing you can do that is worse than the hell I created and where I live every day.

'Finding Emily' nods to the grand tradition of Brit rom-coms in the 1990s

'FINDING EMILY' FROM B1

he texts. But there's a problem: The number is one digit short. Was it intentional? Was it a mistake? He chooses to believe the latter and sets off to find her, knowing only her first name, Emily.

No one is especially charmed by Owen's desperate quest to find Emily on campus. Rachel Hirons' script understands a fundamental truth about romantic comedies and the grand gesture — they work only if the other party is into it. If they're not into it, at best, it's creepy. At worst, it's the beginning of a horror movie. But then another Emily (Angourie Rice) emerges and, after giving Owen a hard time and name checking the manic pixie dream girl trope, decides to help. What the audience knows, however, and he doesn't, is that this Emily, an American, has an ulterior motive. She's trying to prove, for a thesis that will get her a job and allow her to stay in the country, that love drives people mad. "He's my very own Stanford Prison Experiment," she excitedly tells a friend.

You can see where this is going, right? Even if it's predictable, it's also really quite sharp and charming under Alicia MacDonald's direction, both nodding to the grand tradition of '90s Brit romcoms ("Finding Emily" shares producers with "Bridget Jones's Diary") while also adding a grain of Gen Z salt to the proceedings. You can bet that there are some Serious Concerns raised by women's groups on campus when Owen, who is not a student but an employee on probationary hire, emails all the Emilys.

Fearn, as Owen, manages to never cross the line into creepy. With his very Noel Gallagher haircut and skinny, twitchy innocence, he's flustered by the attention and accusations of incel-dom thrown his way. Rice, meanwhile, has a more challenging hurdle to win over the audience, but we've forgiven worse rom-com offenses, right? And, unlike the alien beauty of the stars of "One Night Only," her costumes and manner seem at least a little more relatable (while also knowing that she too is a beautiful movie star).

One especially fresh aspect of "Finding Emily" is that the will-they-won't-they isn't even the real driving force of our interest. Are we really rooting for Owen and American Emily? Do we think they might, gasp, last if it happens? This movie knows what it is. It knows that its leads are in their early 20s, and it knows that we can enjoy spending time with them without investing too much in a possible relationship. “Finding Emily” is just one story in their lives.

It's bleak out there for romantic comedy fans, and it seems lately that the flashiest of the meager offerings are the most suspect. It's not that these movies aren't being made at all, it's just that the ones that seem to get the most attention have been the worst in recent months, like, say, "Office Romance." It's promising that "Finding Emily" is getting a theatrical release, perhaps it won't be lost in the streaming ether like the very good "Voicemails for Isabelle," which spent some time atop the Netflix charts but has basically disappeared since. And it's notable that "Voicemails" was also written and directed by a woman (Leah McKendrick); Perhaps all studios should take note where the recent good ones are coming from.

PG-13. Contains coarse language, drug references, sexual references and some crude material. 111 minutes.

The essential songs of country's Dolly Parton

SONGS FROM B1

flected her meager upbringing in eastern Tennessee. Her mother sewed clothing from rags, resulting in kids at school once locking Parton in a closet. But she got the last laugh with “Coat of Many Colors,” which turns that childhood distress into something hopeful: “Although we had no money, I was rich as I could be/ In my coat of many colors my mama made for me,” Parton sang.

'Jolene' (1973)

“Jolene” came from another true-life story in which Parton realized that her husband had a little crush on a local bank teller. She directed anxieties around her potential competition into a galloping, tense number that doesn’t offer a happy ending for its narrator. Parton’s plea to a woman who could “easily take my man” is unforgettably personal, but her desperation has such an intense appeal that both the White Stripes and Miley Cyrus have covered it.

'I Will Always Love You' (1974)

Long before it had been supercharged by Whitney Houston into one of the ballads of pop music, "I Will

Always Love You" was Parton's goodbye to the singer Porter Wagoner, whom she spent years performing with as a duo. The airy vocal on the original recording anchors Parton's heartache, while those tender electric guitars and a doo-wop-esque choir make it clear why Elvis Presley wanted to do a rendition.

'Light of a Clear Blue Morning' (1977)

If Parton's professional separation from Wagoner eventually resulted in one of the biggest songs of all time, it also brought us “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” which transitions from piano ballad to rollicking gospel sermon with ease. As Parton's second single to reach the Billboard Hot 100, it managed to reach only No. 87, a shocking status for a song that scales such ecstatic heights.

'9 to 5' (1980)

Anyone who's taken a dead-end job to pay the bills understands the plight of Parton's tale where she's just "barely gettin' by." It's an anthem that's been adopted by a broad swath of humanity — drag queens, soundtrack supervisors for "Deadpool 2 and "Gravity Falls," labor unions — thanks to those horn honks and a disco-flavored groove.

Kit Harington, third from left, will play a Hogwarts instructor in HBO's "Harry Potter" series.

Harington joins 'Harry Potter' series

BY ALEXANDRA DEL ROSARIO Los Angeles Times

CINDY ORD/GETTY IMAGES

Kit Harington has returned to the realm of HBO's fantasy programming.

Harington, popular for portraying reluctant hero Jon Snow in the TV adaptation of George R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones," has joined the cast of HBO's "Harry Potter" series, the network confirmed Monday. HBO teased Harington's casting on Instagram, revealing he will play Professor Gilderoy Lockhart.

“Superman” and “Renfield” actor Nicholas Hoult was initially cast in the role but departed the series over scheduling issues, according to Deadline. In the film adaptations of author J.K. Rowling's beloved children's series, Kenneth Branagh portrayed the Hogwarts instructor.

Emmy-nominated Harington comes to the TV series with some "Harry Potter" experience already in hand. Last year he voiced Professor Lockhart for Audible's "Harry Potter" audiobooks. Years after "Game of Thrones" ended in 2019, Harington reunited with HBO for its gritty finance drama "Industry," portraying a complicated tech CEO.

HBO's "Harry Potter" is set to premiere on Christmas Day with Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. Other cast members include John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Luke Thallon as Quirinus Quirrell and Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch.

Earlier this year, actor Gracie Cochrane's family announced that the young actor departed the series—she was to play Ron Weasley's younger sister Ginny — because of a “challenging decision” to “unforeseen circumstances.”

“We support Gracie Cochrane and her family’s decision not to return for the next season of HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ series,” HBO wrote in a statement at the time, “and we are grateful for her work on season one of the show.”

Spouse is at a stalemate with in-laws who stubbornly refuse to eat at a table

ILLUSTRATION BY NICK GALIFIANAKIS FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Adapted from an online discussion.

Carolyn Hax

Dear Carolyn: My in-laws do not sit at the table to eat. Whether it is just mother- and father-in-law at home or the

entire extended family, food goes on the counter and people self-serve and sit all over the house — some in front of the TV, others in the living room or porch looking at phones.

When I'm at their houses, I go with the flow. In our house, I want to sit at the table unless it is something like a cookout or the Super Bowl. This was such a concern of mine that I raised it with my husband while dating and we agreed to sit at the table.

Now when his parents come over, they refuse to sit at the table. His dad in particular says he's not a child and I can't force him. So we are in a bit of a stalemate.

I don't want to have them over for a meal if it means working hard to prepare it only to sit scattered in our house and not talking. My mother-in-law is telling everyone in the family that I won't have them over for a meal.

They like to play bingo and take their dog to the park for long walks. My husband has asked if we can join them to do these things or go to a restaurant, and my mother-in-law refuses, because she knows we are asking to avoid meals at our house.

I waffle between thinking I'm being obnoxious and should give up, to thinking my in-laws are really being bullies. My husband is supporting me but frustrated, too. He asked me to write to you. So I am and hoping you've got ideas for me.

— A Seat at the Table

A Seat at the Table: Whoo. Good luck with these two.

A few things.

1. Tell your husband thanks.

2. Also tell him I'm sorry, because his dad is such a child. "You can't force me," really? And congrats, too, for falling a notable distance from the tree.

3. You, Seat, already “won” a while ago. You both did. That’s in irony quotes because the only victory is harmony, even if each of you eats crouched alone in a different closet. You two are a gently united front against this bizarre tantrum his parents are having. Great.

4. For what it's worth, though: Drawing the hard line on the in-laws' visits was totally within your rights to do, but you inadvertently stepped into a

power struggle. Presumably you and Mr. You Can't Tell Me What to Do had already met? Mind you, they sound like wonderful people not to have across from you at any table anywhere, so if you were ready to let dinner die on this hill, then I'm all for that — but given the dad's tendencies, putting bingo-and-dog-walks first might have been the better move if you weren't ready for outright war.

5. You're here now, so, back to marital peace, at least. Please work this out with your husband: How would you like to deal with his parents, so that you both can be content not to think about their big standing stand ever again? That will be the entirety of the answer once we're through harrumphing about all the other stupid parts they're forcing you to deal with, such as your mother-in-law's bad-mouthing campaign. Holy bats.

6. Your in-laws really are being bullies. The whole sit-off is so insane, you have no weak spots to concede on. Unless you want to: "If they want to enforce their rules in our home [I mean really, wow], then I won't work to host." So, they can bring the food, or eat air-fryer hors d'oeuvres. And wander only in designated spots, if, for example, you don't want red whine near your white sofa. Did I typo an H in there? Oh, goofy me.

I included that option in case you want one. If I were you, though, then I wouldn't do that; I'd want my beloved apple to distance himself fully from the tree on this, in the following talk with his parents: "You've got one shot at life. This is really the best you've got? Insulting my spouse? Trashing us to the family? Refusing invitations to compromise-freaking-bingo?" Followed by a pledge of many warm invitations once they find their manners again, which will be easier once they extract their heads from [places].

Maybe that's their issue with sitting.

Re: Seat: Personally, I would look for the solution that amused me the most, and I think it would be pretty hilarious to invite in-laws to dinner, set the table (elaborately), serve the food at the table, but say nothing if the in-laws took their plates and departed. You and your husband could stay at the table and eat as if nothing was happening and in-laws could wander around.

What I would NOT do is serve from the kitchen. Make them come to the table to fill their plates then do whatever they like. Better yet, invite other people and have everyone at the table but them.

Looking for clever response to backhanded compliments at high school reunion

Miss Manners

JUDITH MARTIN, JACOBINA MARTIN AND NICHOLAS IVOR MARTIN

Dear Miss Manners: I attended my high school reunion about 10 years ago, and while standing in line at the buffet, a former classmate told me, "Gee, you look a lot better

than you did in high school."

I believe my response was “Thanks … I think.” Later this year, I will be attending another reunion, and am seeking your advice on an appropriate response, should I be the recipient of a similar comment.

I would hate to repeat myself!

"I suppose I just keep getting better." And then resist the temptation to indicate that your classmate clearly has not.

Dear Miss Manners: On my birthday, my family all insists upon calling and speaking with me individually to wish me a happy birthday and check in.

I don't begrudge them the sentiment, but I must admit that I don't particularly enjoy this ritual. I speak with my siblings and parents otherwise on a

regular basis, and those other conversations are wonderful, but usually limited to weekends when both parties have more downtime, and often I may speak with one relative a day ... not all of them in one day.

When my birthday falls on a weekday, I would much rather spend the time in the evening, after returning from work, with my children and spouse rather than on the phone having perfunctory conversations. Heck, even when it is a weekend birthday, I don't want to have to schedule in these calls.

Can you suggest a polite way to decline the request of “When are you free for a call today?” When it is my other family members’ birthdays, I do not go out of my way to call them, but rather will send them a birthday text that does not require any response.

This year for my birthday, I suggested that they all call me around the same time, so that I could politely end one call to pick up the new call that was just incoming. This worked well enough, but I suspect my parents were up to my ruse, and quite frankly, even managing this subterfuge was more than I cared for. I don't want to be rude, and I certainly want to continue our occasional phone calls, but how can I better manage the requests to speak on my birthday?

Do not pick up. Or when your family texts to ask what time to call, tell them that you have a busy day planned, but appreciate the sentiment and will catch up on your next occasional call.

This solves the problem and is not impolite. But Miss Manners warns you that it is not without long-term consequences. There may come a day when you will

welcome these calls, as tedious as you find them at the moment. Miss Manners hopes that your current fatigue will dissipate and you will see that your family loves you and only wants to celebrate you. That they annoy you, too, is just a bonus.

New Miss Manners columns are posted Monday through Saturday on washingtonpost.com/advice. You can send questions to Miss Manners at her website, missmanners.com. You can also follow her @RealMissManners.

BIRTHDAY | AUGUST 29: You're

inquisitive. This is a slower paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy and your outlook. Focus on business and personal relationships, and make sure you hang out with people who are kind, helpful and have your back.

Moon Alert: Caution! Avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and important decisions all day today until 11 p.m. EDT. After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

Today you feel a strong need to relate to others. Your emotions are heightened with the Moon in your sign, which can make things a little tricky. You can be emotionally giving, but also emotionally demanding.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

You might be tempted to withdraw from the demands of people and duties around you because you want to avoid something. Probably, you don't feel like socializing. You might want to explore the mystical side of your world. (You need some privacy.)

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

(May 21 June 20) Today your contact with friends and members of groups is important. This is why you might feel more protective and supportive to someone. You might even feel a bit jealous if this person pays more attention to someone else.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) You're high-viz today, which means

N-S VULNERABLE

NORTH ♠ AJ3 ♥ J10985 ♦ 752 ♣ 95

WEST ♠ Q10 8 2 ♥ 6 3 ♦ Q10 6 4 ♣ J7 6 EAST ♠ 6 5 4 ♥ AK7 4 ♦ 9 8 ♣ Q10 8 2

SOUTH (D) ♠ K97 ♥ Q2 ♦ AKJ3 ♣ AK43

The bidding:

SOUTH	WEST	NORTH	EAST
2 NT	Pass	3 ♦	Pass
3 ♥	Pass	3 NT	All Pass
Opening lead — ♠ 2

HOROSCOPE

people notice you more than usual. Keep this in mind in case you're tempted to have a public argument with a loved one. (Hissing in loud whispers in an elevator?) Be aware that people seem to know details about your private life today.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

You want to shake things up today. You want some adventure! You need a change of scenery. Therefore, change your daily routine. Go someplace you've never been before. This could be a minor thing, but at least it's fresh and new! This is what you hunger for.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because your emotional experiences are more intense than usual, this might be reflected in your encounters with others. Perhaps it's because you feel possessive about something, or it could be related to memories from your past. You might want something that someone else has.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

(Sept. 25 Oct. 22) Your attention will likely turn to your most personal relationships because you feel the need to express your feelings today. Because of this, if you have conflict with a spouse, partner or close friend, it will be more emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might have to put your own emotional considerations second to those of someone else today. Don't worry; you're not being a martyr. This is just what's happening. Meanwhile, take a moment to focus on your health

BRIDGE

Simple Saturday columns focus on basic technique and logical thinking.

"I took time to explain the word 'bargain' to my daughter, and she said it meant a great deal to her." — graffiti

Beware of bargains at the bridge table. In today's deal, West led the deuce of spades against 3NT, dummy followed with the three, East played the four and declarer bought the first trick for the bargain price of a seven. South next led the queen of hearts, winning, and a heart to dummy's jack. East took the king and led a club.

South won and had to reach dummy twice to set up and then cash the long hearts. He led the nine of spades, planning to play dummy's jack, but West alertly put up the queen. Then dummy's second entry vanished, and South couldn't use the hearts and won only eight tricks.

South needed to pay a fair price and what you might do to improve your it. Ideas?

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 Dec. 21) This is a lovely day for romance, socializing, enjoying a vacation and expanding your world through the theater, movies and the entertainment world. You also might feel protective and nurturing to children or a romantic partner.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This is the perfect day to retire by yourself somewhere and enjoy your own privacy. Make an effort to do this, even if for only a short time. Relax. Make some food that is a guilty pleasure. Read a book; watch TV; indulge yourself. You need it. Give yourself a mental health break.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you feel a strong need to talk to others because you have something you want to say. The key is you have to find someone who is willing to listen to you, genuinely and sincerely. In other words, you don't want to simply chat with someone about something inconsequential.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

It's easy to identify with your possessions today, which is why you might feel more possessive than usual about something. For example, perhaps you don't want to lend something to someone. Check the Moon Alert before spending money today.

— Georgia Nicols © 2026, KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, INC.

for the first trick: He must win with the king. He can finesse with the jack later to get a necessary second entry to dummy and finish with an overtrick.

DAILY QUESTION

You hold:

♠ 654 ♥ AK74

♦ 98 ♣ Q 10 8 2

Your partner opens one diamond. The next player bids one spade. What do you say?

ANSWER: Without the overcall, you would have responded one heart, but you have too few hearts and too few points to bid two hearts. Your best call is a negative double, which by agreement shows enough strength to respond, with a heart suit plus diamond tolerance or clubs. If your partner bids two hearts next, pass.

FRIDAY'S LA TIMES SOLUTION

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 2026

STEPHANIE SCARBROUGH/AP
Quarterback Sam Hartman, vying for the backup role with Marcus Mariota ailing, was one of the Commanders on the roster bubble who played Friday in Baltimore.

Almost there ...

BY TASHAN REED

In their preseason finale, the Washington Commanders fell, 41-3, to the Baltimore Ravens on Friday at M&T Bank Stadium — not that the listless performance particularly mattered.

The Commanders rested 41 players, including all of their starters and many key backups. The most significant players who suited up were centers Matt Gulbin and Julian Good-Jones, who are competing for the backup job behind Nick Allegretti.

The cautious strategy was nothing new. While various key contributors on Washington's first-team defense got notable reps in the first two preseason games, the frontline offense hardly saw the field Friday. Quarterback Jayden Daniels and the rest of the starters played just three snaps against the Detroit Lions in the second week of the

Dozens rest in preseason finale ahead of roster cutdown

preseason.

Coach Dan Quinn focused on using the joint practices against the Lions and Ravens to simulate gamelike situations rather than put his starters at additional risk of injury. Given how beat-up the team is right now, it's hard to argue with that approach.

The Commanders have until 4 p.m. Sunday to trim their roster to 53 players. Once the period to claim players from the waiver wire passes at 1 p.m. Monday, they will be able to sign up to 16 players to their practice squad. They could also have access to a 17th spot to keep defensive end T.J. Maguranyanga through the international player pathway program.

Here's my final roster projection:

Davis's comeback narrative casts a dark shadow

BY EDDIE PELLS, JIM MUSTIAN AND JOSHUA GOODMAN Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Nobody could overlook the off-the-field community work — bankrolling a college scholarship endowment, a Thanksgiving food drive, a Christmastime gift giveaway — that cast Thomas Davis of the Carolina Panthers as one of the true good guys around this city and across the NFL.

But what really turned Davis into

Ex-Panthers linebacker, who overcame three ACL tears, battled opioid addiction

royalty in North Carolina was how tough he was. A legend was born when the linebacker who had already made a historic comeback after tearing an ACL in the same knee three times — and seemed to get better each time he returned — suited up and played in Super Bowl 50 despite a freshly broken arm.

Turns out, all those comebacks from all that pain took their toll and led to a deeper and more troubling story: As his career wound down, Davis became dependent on opioids, an addiction he blames for the unseemly breakup with his wife, Kelly, and the sullying of his once-pristine reputation.

The Associated Press found that prescriptions filled to feed Davis's addiction led to the downfall of Joan Rubinger, a SEE DAVIS ON B9

For United, progress is difficult to measure

D.C. is much improved but ‘still struggling,’ according to Weiler

BY BAILEY JOHNSON

It is undeniable that D.C. United has improved in 2026.

Last year, the club finished last among the 30 MLS teams with a 5-18-11 record and just 26 points. This year, United has 24 points through its first 21 games. There should be little question that, with 13 matches remaining, D.C. will be able to finish with more points than it did last season.

But it is also undeniable that, despite the steps forward, there's still a large gap between United and the true playoff contenders. The MLS postseason format changes often, but even as the league continues to expand the field, United hasn't qualified since 2019. This year, the team is tied for the Eastern Conference's ninth and final playoff spot but on the outside looking in because of the tiebreaker (wins).

“It’s so difficult to win games for us this season,” Coach René Weiler said ahead of Los Angeles FC’s visit to Audi Field on Saturday night. United has lost its past two games and has just one win in its past 10, dating back to early May.

"Of course, we want to have better results," Weiler added. "Maybe we need a little bit more time. Maybe we need to be a little bit more composure. I'm mostly satisfied with the team's SEE UNITED ON B11

Titanic shot from House helps Kent get first win

NATIONALS 9, MARLINS 2

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brady House hit a three-run homer, left-hander Jackson Kent threw seven innings of one-run ball to pick up his first MLB win, and the Washington Nationals beat the Miami Marlins, 9-2, on Friday night at Nationals Park to earn back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly three weeks.

Washington (64-73) scored five runs with two outs in the third after Miami starter Eury Pérez walked the first three batters on just 14 pitches. The Nationals scored two runs on a wild pitch to take a 2-1 lead, and House hit his 10th homer of the season 445 feet.

The Nationals added four runs in the seventh. Harry Ford hit his third home run of the season over the wall in left-center field for a 6-1 lead. Dylan Crews hit a double into the left-field corner to score two more and reach base for the eighth consecutive game.

Daylen Lile tripled over the center fielder to score another run, his sixth triple of the season.

Washington snapped an eight-game losing streak in the series with the Marlins. The Nationals had scored just 15 runs over their past seven games against Miami.

Kent (1-2), who faced the Marlins (68-67) for the second straight start, got through five innings for the first time in his career. He threw 106 pitches and allowed only three hits and four walks.

Pérez (7-10) allowed five earned runs in three innings.

Miami's Heriberto Hernández hit his fifth homer in nine games against the Nationals this season. The Marlins have lost three of four and trail the San Diego Padres (72-63) by four games for the final National League wild card.

Avalanche inks Makar to a record extension

Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche agreed to an eight-year, \$163.2 million extension Friday that will make him the highest paid player in NHL history.

The terms of the deal were confirmed by his agency, Bartlett Hockey.

Makar's extension is set to be the richest in league history, surpassing the eight-year, \$136 million extension signed by Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov last September. Makar's deal runs through the 2034-35 season.

With an average annual value of \$20.4 million that begins in 2027-28, Makar's contract also eclipses that of San Jose Sharks superstar Macklin Celebrini, who signed a five-year, \$94 million extension in late July that has an \$18.8 million AAV.

The 27-year-old Makar is coming off a season in which he had 20 goals and 59 assists. He finished second to Zach Werenski of the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Norris Trophy voting, an award that goes to the league's top defenseman. Makar has won the award twice in his career.

Gerard, Hovland even at Tour Championship

Ryan Gerard hit it well enough to card five relatively easy birdies and dropped a surprise from just inside 80 feet for another, giving him a 5-under-par 65 and a share of the 36-hole lead with Viktor Hovland at the PGA Tour's season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Hovland had one of five birdies on the peninsula-green 15th hole, a par-3 at only 155 yards but tucked to the left near a sharp slope that feeds off the putting surface. He had a 66 to join Gerard at 10-under 130 going into the weekend.

Right behind? Just about everybody.

That includes Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 player who had a 67 and was two back. And it included Cameron Young, in last place after the first round and atop the leaderboard for much of the day after a 62. He also wound up two behind.

Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup each shot 67 and were one behind at 9-under 131. ...

Miyu Yamashita was back on top of an LPGA Tour leaderboard days after tying the tour's 72-hole scoring record in a nine-stroke victory in Canada.

PRO BASKETBALL Clark and Mitchell lead charge for Fever again

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell each scored 34 points as the Indiana Fever got past the Connecticut Sun, 111-91, in Indianapolis.

The pair scored 30 or more points for the fourth game this season, extending their WNBA single-season record for a duo. Mitchell had her 24th straight 20-point game in the Fever's final game before the FIBA Women's World Cup break. ...

Carla Leite scored 26 points, Emily Engstler added a career-high 25, and the visiting Portland Fire routed Atlanta, 101-83, ending the Dream's four-game winning streak.

Angel Reese had 16 points and 16 rebounds for Atlanta (25-14), which fell into fifth place in the standings, one-half game behind Indiana. Reese, who has already set the league record for rebounds in a season, matched a WNBA record with her 28th double-double of the year.

Sandusky accuser seeks to recant allegations

BY ED WHITE

A judge granted a hearing to explore claims that a man wants to recant allegations of sexual abuse by then-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Sandusky, 82, has been serving a decades-long prison sentence since he was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse in 2012. Eight young men testified about what happened to them as boys. He has repeatedly lost efforts to get a new trial, but Sandusky's lawyers are trying again.

A man identified in court documents as R.R. said he was coached extensively by authorities.

"I was told — both directly and indirectly — that trauma may have fragmented my memory, and that I could safely affirm details I did not fully recall. I was assured this was common and even expected," R.R. said in an affidavit filed by Sandusky's attorneys.

A court hearing in Centre County has

One of eight who testified against ex-Penn State assistant says authorities coached him

been scheduled for Sept. 8.

R.R.'s allegations were “based on suggestive leading questioning, prosecutorial coercion and influence, confirmatory bias and memory manipulation, which permeated throughout each of the accusers as well,” Sandusky's attorneys said in a court filing.

The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General said Friday that R.R.'s recantation is "highly suspect."

Sandusky coached the defense at one of the country's top football programs under Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno. The scandal led to Paterno's firing, and the university paid more than \$100 million to people who said they had been abused by Sandusky.

Jules Epstein, a professor at Temple University law school in Philadelphia, said Sandusky would not automatically get a new trial, even if the judge believes the recantation is valid. He said a judge would need to determine how R.R.'s testimony fit into the broader case, which had many charges and victims.

Authorities said Sandusky found and groomed boys at The Second Mile, a charity that he started for at-risk youth. He has repeatedly declared his innocence.

At trial, R.R. was 25 years old. He testified that he was 11 when Sandusky performed oral sex in the coach's basement in 1998, a transcript shows.

“He told me that if I told anybody that I would never see my family again,” said R.R., who was in foster care at the time.

Sandusky later apologized and said “he loved me,” R.R. testified.

Injured reserve: Laremy Tunsil (torn triceps)

Cut: Julian Good-Jones, Daniel Brunskill Foster Sarell, Max Scharping, Nicholas Petit-Frere, Tanoa Togiai, Trey Hill

All eyes are on center. Allegretti is still sidelined with a calf strain, and the uncertainty around when he'll be ready to return has bred plenty of anxiety among the fan base.

It's a two-man race between Gulbin and Good-Jones to determine who will back him up. Gulbin served as the starting center while Good-Jones rotated at right guard during Wednesday's joint practice against the Ravens. That seemed to indicate Gulbin was ahead in the race, but neither he nor Good-Jones performed well in that session.

The preseason finale provided another opportunity for someone to pull ahead as Gulbin got the start. Ultimately, I decided to give the rookie the nod. I still would expect General Manager Adam Peters to explore an addition on the waiver wire.

At quarterback, Kaliakmanis breaks through to make the roster. He has shown progress, and it could be too risky to subject him to the waiver wire. The Commanders hope Mariota will be ready to return from his MCL sprain by Week 1, but that's not guaranteed. If he's unable to go, Kaliakmanis — who was 7 for 13 passing for 45 yards Friday — would be the backup.

Wide receiver is another position in which I've gone back and forth, but I'm going to stick with Brown. He has been the better player to close out training camp, and he provides the room with some more experience.

Cut: Fabian Moreau, Darius Rush, Fred Davis II, Car'lin Vigers

Starters: Nick Cross, Jeremy Reaves

Backups: Quan Martin, Tyler Owens, Percy Butler

Cut: Joshua Bledsoe, Quindell Johnson, Qwuantrezz Knight

Wise is still rehabbing from the torn quad he suffered last September, and it seems unlikely that he will return from the PUP list before the start of the season. If he remains on that list on roster cut day, he will have to miss at least the first four games.

“He had a good evaluation recently. He's certainly getting closer, but they haven't given us a time frame,” Quinn said Monday. “He looks good. I'm pleased with the work that he's put in. For him, this has been a long rehab. It's a serious injury. To see him on the other side of that, knowing the light at the end of the tunnel is nearby, that's exciting.”

With Armstrong also set to miss Week 1 because of a suspension for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy, the defensive end group will be thin against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 13. That probably will lead to more playing time for players such as Josephs and Jean-Baptiste.

Special teams (3)

Kicker: Drew Stevens Punter: Tress Way Long snapper: Tyler Ott

There's no suspense here in terms of who makes the roster, but it will be interesting to see how Stevens (who converted from 39 yards and missed from 62 on Friday) performs early in the season. If the rookie struggles, the Commanders may have to seek outside help.

He already had received a citation for refusal to take a test for intoxication after arrest.

CBS Sports President David Berson said earlier this month that he does not have a timeline for a decision about Romo's future.

Romo, 46, has been the lead game analyst for the network's NFL coverage since 2017 after making four Pro Bowl appearances during a playing career that ran from 2004-16 and was spent entirely with Dallas.

Analyst JJ Watt will join play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS Sports' lead NFL team during Romo's absence. Their first game will be Sept. 13, when the Minnesota Vikings host the Green Bay Packers.

Body-camera footage released earlier this week showed Romo telling deputies he had been coming from a golf course and was on his way “to visit grandma and grandpa” when he was stopped. A deputy told Romo he suspected him of being impaired because he had “red glassy eyes” and an “odor of an intoxicating alcoholic beverage.”

Citations released by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office indicated an open bottle of an alcoholic beverage was found in the passenger's side of Romo's black Jeep during an inventory before it was towed.

Romo's arrest followed a traffic stop as he was driving south on Interstate 43. According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, Romo performed poorly on field sobriety tests before getting arrested, booked and released.

Addiction was part of Davis's tale of resilience

DAVIS FROM B7

self-styled healer who listed Davis among her dozens of high-profile pro-athlete clients who swore by her pain-relief miracles.

"I live my life in a way that I wanted my kids to always be proud of me," said Davis, a father of four, in a recent episode of The Pivot Podcast, where he discussed his drug problem publicly for the first time. "That was something that was extremely important to me. And some of the things that happened, it made it extremely hard for them to ever be proud of the man that I had started to become."

Davis did not respond to several calls and texts from the AP, and no one answered his door in North Carolina when visited by an AP reporter. Requests for comment were also made through his representatives.

A sturdy presence

The high point of Davis's career might have been 2014 — the season he was honored as the NFL's Walter Payton man of the year. The award, which comes with a trophy and a patch the player wears on his uniform for the rest of his career, recognizes the winner for his “community service, charity work and good play on the field.”

There was plenty of good play.

A college all-American at Georgia, Davis might have been voted to more than three NFL Pro Bowls and named to more than one all-pro team had he played in a bigger market — or maybe not shared the limelight with Luke Kuechly, the linebacker who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this month and name-checked his good buddy, Davis, as part of his induction speech.

"I couldn't have asked for a better person to start my playing career than next to Thomas," Kuechly said. "He taught me about effort, toughness, competitiveness, and most of all, having joined the game of football."

But Davis never lacked for accolades in the town where he played the first 14 of his 16 NFL seasons.

He played nine of those years after his third knee surgery. All his best seasons came during that stretch.

Off the field, he was a constant presence at charity events, many of which he sponsored. Davis, his wife and kids painted the picture of a family that had deep, meaningful connections to the heartbeat of this burgeoning southern metropolis in NASCAR country that, like so many cities, places its sports stars on a pedestal.

All of this fit into Davis's wider life story.

Raised in a one-parent house in Shellman — a rural farming town in southwest Georgia — his mother moved 40 miles away to Eufala, Alabama, for a higher-paying job when Davis was in 11th grade to help pay the bills.

Davis stayed behind and moved in with an older cousin so he could keep playing at Randolph-Clay High in nearby Cuthbert, where, he said, he had carved out his niche on the football field as “The Man.”

NOTES

"My mom allowed me, in that moment, to say, 'Hey, I'm establishing myself,'" Davis said. "I had a goal. She had trust in me that I was going to make the right decisions."

A comeback story

For more than a decade, he did. The multiple comebacks from knee surgeries — he's believed to be the first and only NFL player to play on after tearing the same ACL three times — made him larger than life in North Carolina.

"I didn't want to be that token, like, mascot for ACL recoveries," Davis said. "I wanted to be the person that came back and showed every NFL club that you don't have to give up on your players when they face injuries."

His first-team all-pro honor (2015), three Pro Bowls (2015-17) and that larger-than-life trip to the Super Bowl (2016) all came after the knee surgeries.

"The guy has been through a lot and is the heart and soul of our team," teammate Dwan Edwards said in the lead-up to Carolina's 24-10 loss to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. "He's our emotional leader, our playmaker on the field."

The first crack in this storybook tale came in 2018 when Davis was handed a four-game ban for violating the NFL's performance-enhancer policy after testing positive for a banned estrogen blocker, the likes of which can be used to mask steroid use. He said he didn't cheat, had been using the same supplements as always, but did not protest the ban.

Davis said the ban caused him to rethink his plans to retire. He spent 2019 with the Los Angeles Chargers and 2020 with the Washington Football Team. That year, Washington's head trainer was found to have been illegally distributing oxycodone to players — an unsettling reminder of the NFL's difficult history with pain-killers.

The downfall

The league spent nearly 10 years defending a lawsuit accusing its teams of overprescribing opioids and other painkillers. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed in 2023 because of what a judge said was its overly sprawling nature.

One of the revelations that came out during that period was a study of former players, 52 percent of whom said they had used prescription opioids during their career.

The NFL Players Association did not want to comment on this story. The league, which has enhanced its monitoring of prescriptions since the lawsuit, said it was unaware of Rubinger. It referenced a study from 2021-22 that showed only 10 percent of players received prescriptions for opioids.

In 2022, the Drug Enforcement Administration opened its investigation after Kelly Davis accused Rubinger, the “pain doctor,” of fueling her husband’s opioid addiction. Authorities said Davis received more than 13,000 pills of oxycodone and Percocet from November 2019 through March 2024.

“She preyed on these guys’ pain,” Kelly Davis told the AP. “They had money, they had injuries, they had mental health issues.”

Davis's addiction casts a different light on the couple's separation, their eventual divorce and the mini-scandal that erupted when news broke of Kelly Davis's 2025 arrest for assaulting a woman she believed was sleeping with her husband.

These days, Davis is still a presence around the Panthers facility, where the memories of all the good he did for the team and the community live on.

But, he concedes, he has been chastened by his stunning downfall. Davis said he has gotten the help he needs, and that his focus is on trying to make things right with his children — one of whom, Thomas Davis Jr., is a freshman linebacker at Notre Dame. Davis Sr. says he places blame on nobody but himself, but he is well aware of the toll drugs took.

"I take full ownership of every single component of everything that's happened in my life," he said. "But at the end of the day, I know there were some factors that took place that ultimately led me to a space that I didn't anticipate being [in]."

Steve Reed contributed to this report.

“Tony accepts full responsibility for his actions and has taken proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved,” a Romo spokesperson said in a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and TMZ. “We are working with local authorities to bring this matter to a close and we are communicating with CBS about next steps.”

- JETS: Rookie running back Chip Trayanum was hospitalized with a neck injury after being tackled on the final play of the first half against the New York Giants.

The Jets announced that Trayanum, an undrafted rookie from Toledo, was awake, alert and had movement in all of his extremities.

The Jets got the ball with 10 seconds left before halftime, and rather than have Cade Klubnik take a knee, they opted to run a play. Trayanum took the hand-off from Klubnik and was immediately hit by Trace Ford.

Trayanum stayed down on the field as trainers and doctors ran out to examine him. Jets players and coaches remained on the field — many on their knees and praying — as Trayanum was attended to.

After several minutes, it appeared Trayanum was put in a neck brace, strapped to a backboard and loaded onto a cart and driven off the field. The running back appeared to be flexing both of his hands as he was driven inside.

- TITANS: Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is not believed to have suffered a concussion in Thursday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears, NFL Network reported.

Robinson underwent tests after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Chicago safety Xavier Woods, a shot Tennessee Coach Robert Saleh characterized as “cheap.”

The Titans will continue to check Robinson for potential concussion symptoms, but “early indications are positive,” per the report. He walked to the locker room under his own power following the hit as a fracas broke out on the field and the two teams had to be separated.

Sakamoto knocks off his idol to earn a spot in main draw

Up-and-comer ends bid by compatriot Nishikori for a final Slam berth

BY BRIAN MAHONEY

NEW YORK — Rei Sakamoto played his way into the U.S. Open — but only by taking the spot that Kei Nishikori, Japan's greatest men's tennis star, hoped to earn for one last Grand Slam appearance.

In a changing-of-the-guard match, Sakamoto beat Nishikori, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), on Friday in the final round of qualifying to earn a place in the main draw.

"Not happy to lose today, but I'm happy for Rei," Nishikori said. "He's the next Japanese top player."

The 20-year-old Sakamoto, like many other players from Japan, considers Nishikori his hero. He was 8 years old and remembers when Nishikori reached the 2014 U.S. Open final, becoming the first Asian man to get that far in a Grand Slam tournament.

"I honestly grew up watching him play, and he was my idol for my whole life," Sakamoto said, "and it's also a pity to see his last season."

Sakamoto, like many tennis players, doesn't like to look at his draw ahead of time to see whom he might face. This time, though, he couldn't help but find out.

"Like, after the second that draw came out, my mom texted me, 'Hey, I hope you can make it to the final and play Kei,' Sakamoto said. "So this time I got spoiled by my mom."

Nishikori, 36, has battled injuries in recent years and has said this will be his final season. No longer ranked high enough for a guaranteed spot in the main draw, he was given a wild card by the U.S. Tennis Association into the qualifying tournament.

He won two matches but needed one more to lock up his spot. With fans chanting his name late in the second set, Nishikori was outplayed by Sakamoto, who pounded 19 aces, the last to end it after Nishikori had saved two

match points.

Afterward, Nishikori was presented with a framed portrait of himself in action by U.S. Open officials. Sakamoto helped hold it up for a picture together.

It was a big moment for Saka-moto, but also a bittersweet one.

“I think a lot of people — like most of the people — still follow tennis because of him,” Sakamoto said. "So he's a superstar, and he did a lot to Japanese tennis."

The final round of qualifying was pushed back to Friday because of rain. Zheng Qinwen, the 2024 Olympic women's gold medalist in singles, pulled out a three-set victory to reach the main draw, while Bianca Andreescu — who beat Serena Williams in the 2019 U.S. Open final but has struggled to stay healthy since — blew a lead and lost in three sets.

Grigor Dimitrov, who reached the 2019 U.S. Open semifinals after beating Roger Federer in what turned out to be Federer's final match in Flushing Meadows, advanced Thursday when his opponent withdrew.

None of those matches had the same stakes as Nishikori's. Once ranked No. 4 in the world, he returned to the U.S. Open semifinals in 2016 and 2018 but had various injuries that kept him off the court for long stretches, and he determined he will stop playing after this year's Japan Open.

"I think his career would have been one of the best, maybe on a similar level to maybe a [Andy] Murray or Stan Wawrinka if he didn't have so many injuries, because he was injured a lot, especially in his prime," No. 1 seed Alexander Zverev said. "Once he got up to No. 4 in the world, No. 5 in the world, every single time he got injured. So I'd say in that aspect he was a little bit unlucky, but from a tennis point of view, he was amazing."

On the eve of his Hall of Fame enshrinement, Federer reflects upon his legacy

Roger Federer considers the relationships he forged while on tour to be a vital part of his tennis legacy.

BY BRIAN MAHONEY

NEW YORK — Roger Federer loved to win, of course, and at the peak of his career he almost always did.

All those victories and trophies he piled up alone would have made Federer remembered forever in tennis, but they were only part of the reason he enjoyed playing. He liked traveling to tournaments, meeting people and making new friends, whether they were on the other side of the net or sitting in the stands.

Only after he finished competing did Federer realize how much that impacted his legacy in the sport.

"I think when you retire, I think I said it before, that there was a lot of talk also about maybe my personality and what I brought to the game overall when I wasn't on court, which I was a little surprised," Federer said. "I thought it was about, in the moment, forehands and backhands and saving break points and victories and all that stuff.

“But actually it becomes a little bit, not irrelevant eventually, but it’s about what were you remembered for, how did you behave in the locker rooms or in the corridors or maybe with the media, or with the tournament directors, the ball kids.”

Federer will have a chance to reflect back on it all Saturday when he is enshrined in the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island.

The 45-year-old from Switzerland, who will be honored along with broadcaster and former player Mary Carillo, said it would be his first trip to Newport. That seemed surprising, given how many places he has seen because of tennis.

Sure, there were regular stops such as New York, London and Paris for Grand Slam tournaments, but there were also cities such as Cape Town, South Africa, for an exhibition match against Rafael Nadal that drew nearly

52,000 fans; or Mexico City, for one against Alexander Zverev that drew more than 42,000.

Those were near the end of his career, when Federer was forced to limit his schedule for health reasons. He hated having to do so, because he liked going too many places, even ones that didn't host the biggest events.

"For me, if I look back, that's kind of what I'm very happy about, that I went through 25 years on tour, and actually felt like I made a lot of friends and a lot of people miss me," Federer said. "Same with fans. They come up to me and say, 'What a shame you're not playing anymore.'

“Then I get a flashback saying it was an amazing time, and I say it every time. I loved it, and it’s a shame I can’t be on the tour anymore. But it was a great, great time, and I miss it dearly.”

The fans clearly miss Federer. When he returned to the U.S. Open this week for an exhibition, his first time playing in Flushing Meadows since 2019, the lines of fans waiting to get into Arthur Ashe Stadium resembled a night in the second week of the tournament.

Federer won five straight U.S. Open titles from 2004-08, during a stretch when he compiled a 247-15 record from 2004-06 and reached a record 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals from 2005-07, winning eight. He went on to win

1,251 matches and 103 tournaments, including 20 Grand Slams.

“He’s the best I’ve ever played against,” Andre Agassi, Federer’s opponent in the 2005 final, said in a video the U.S. Open showed before Federer took the court Tuesday.

The way he won, with far more flair than some stuffy champions of the past but without the temper tantrums of others, earned him accolades that his skills alone couldn't. He won the ATP Tour's sportsmanship award every year from 2004-09, and again from 2011-17, and the fan favorite award every year from 2003-21. Those came while earning prize money of nearly \$130.6 million.

Federer hits sometimes with his children — he and wife Mirka are parents of two sets of twins — and tries to attend a few events a year to keep himself connected to the sport.

"I'm in a very comfortable place today, but I'm still happy to be out there and being in the tennis world from time to time, because it is the glue to everything that surrounds me still today," Federer said.

"I had the best time, had a lot of friends on tour, from players to people who were organizers, et cetera. So I hope that a lot of the players who retire also feel the same way about the game, because I care dearly."

Despite signs of progress, D.C. United is ‘struggling’

UNITED FROM B7

performances, but there is still a gap to the other teams. I know what we can and what we can't do today. But that is the next step we want to go. We want to turn tight games in better results."

LAFC, sitting third in the Western Conference, has visited Washington just once — a 4-0 rout of D.C. in April 2019.

This will mark United's first match against that opponent since LAFC signed Son Heungmin, the South Korean forward who starred for English Premier League club Tottenham before arriving in MLS last summer.

"Of course, we are much stronger than we were last season, but we are still struggling," Weiler said. "We have to play on our limits. Everybody has to play on their limits. We need top performances. It should be better for us to have the entire squad on board.

"Now, we are missing again some starters and, of course, there's an impact in our team."

With defender Kye Rowles and forward João Peglow both questionable to face LAFC with thigh injuries, Weiler noted the impact such absences can have on the “fine line” between winning and losing.

“We are unfortunately closer to defeats than we are to victories today,” Weiler said. “That is a fact that we have to accept, and, of course, we try to change it. The reasons? There are many reasons. We are making too many mistakes. ... We are not finding it, the right decisions. We are not efficient enough. That, we want to make better in the next game."

Weiler has been focused on turning around United since he took over as coach in July 2025. Several offseason acquisitions have paid dividends this year: Striker Tai Baribo has scored a team-leading 12 goals, fellow forward Louis Munteanu has chipped in six and right back Silvan Hefti is tied for the team lead with four assists.

Always quick to address United's need for more high-quality players, Weiler said Thursday that he's both pleased with the progress and keenly aware of how far his team still has to go.

The summer transfer window remains open, though Weiler allowed that it's unlikely United will complete any further moves before it closes Wednesday.

"At the same time, it is our job, my job, to make the players daily better," Weiler said. "I think when the best players are on the field, when we are in full strength, then it's really complicated to play against us and we are really close to win games.

"At the end, quality always decides. We have to bring it into the team with transfers, and I have to try to get out more of all our potential we have into the team today."

Remaining Confederate statues removed from Virginia's Capitol

Movement that peaked in 2020 with toppling of Jefferson Davis memorial is complete; strong opinions abound on both sides

BY BEN CONARCK

More than six years after protesters in Richmond toppled an iconic statue of Jefferson Davis amid national civil rights demonstrations, work crews quietly removed three remaining Confederate monuments from their pedestals across town.

The removals of the past Confederate heroes — Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall Jackson," Gov. William "Extra Billy" Smith and physician Hunter Holmes McGuire — represented the culmination of efforts by Democratic lawmakers who sought to rid the Capitol grounds of what they saw as an embarrassing tribute to a painful past.

Though Friday's effort was tame compared with Davis's top-pling in 2020, the symbolism was strong enough to attract camera crews from local television stations, which broadcast the images live.

Watching the scene unfold on his TV was one of the men responsible, former Virginia senator Adam Ebbin (D), who left office earlier this year.

In January, Ebbin introduced a bill to remove the statues. The measure was folded into an amendment to Virginia's budget, which passed in June, after he left office.

Though the Confederate monuments date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ebbin pointed out that, in the past few decades, there have been several upgrades to the Capitol grounds.

The building itself underwent a historic restoration and underground expansion in the 2000s, and in subsequent years, monuments were added to honor the civil rights movement, fallen police officers and women.

"There's a saying that you leave the campground better than you found it," Ebbin said. "I think this leaves room for a conversation about what other Virginians we SEE STATUES ON B14

Ohio woman is indicted over World War II Memorial vandalism incident

BY LIAM SCOTT

A federal grand jury has indicted a woman who filmed herself dumping soap into a fountain at the World War II Memorial in Washington and spray-painting its granite this month.

Melissa Farris, 41, is charged with destruction of a veterans' memorial and destruction of government property, both felonies, in connection with the Aug. 13 incident on the National Mall.

Farris live-streamed herself on social media as bubbles filled the fountain beneath the Atlantic Arch. Photos from the scene showed the message “Clean hands dirty \$” spelled out in red beneath the arch, as well as red and green paint splattered on the surrounding stonework.

Farris was arrested the next day, and a judge last week ordered her to return to Ohio, where she lives. Her next court hearing is set for next Thursday before U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden, an appointee of President Donald Trump. The grand jury indicted Farris on Thursday.

In a Friday statement, the U.S. attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, said the memorial is a tribute to the millions of Americans who served, including the hundreds of thousands who died, during World War II.

“Defacing it is an affront to their service and sacrifice,” she said. “We will use every tool available under federal law to ensure this conduct is met with justice.”

Farris and a public defender representing her did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Both of the felony charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. Court records say the damage at the memorial exceeded \$1,000. The incident prompted condemnation from Trump, the Interior Department and various lawmakers.

"THERE CAN BE NO GREATER INSULT TO THOSE AMERICAN HEROES WHO DIED IN WORLD WAR II," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post the day after the vandalism occurred. "First the Reflecting Pool, now this. We are on their trail! Where do these animals come from???”

The incident at the memorial came after the White House blamed vandals for damaging the nearby Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Pirro ultimately dropped charges against four people, and the Justice Department said information showed that “the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism as initially represented.”

In an exclusive interview with The Washington Post, Farris acknowledged vandalizing the memorial and said she was trying to draw attention to what she believes was the withholding of health care funds by her former employer in Kentucky. (The employer and two union branches have not responded to requests for comment.)

"I decided I was going to scream loudly enough that a nation will hear me," she said.

Farris said that despite the criticism and death threats she has received over the vandalism, she sees herself as a patriot.

"Blue collar built America," she said. "We maintain America. We pay for the maintaining of America, and we don't get to touch any of it. We're stuck in tiny perimeters pulling up our bootstraps every day, and no matter how hard we pull, it's never enough."

Crews have taken down trees at East Potomac Golf Links even though there's no reconstruction plan.

Hains Point has become felled point Trump's public golf course renewal plan is uncertain, but trees are falling

Across East Potomac Golf Links, amid golfers squeezing in late-summer rounds and wondering what will become of the beloved D.C. course, newly cut stumps and bare patches of dirt mark the places where dozens of trees recently stood.

The Trump administration's promised overhaul of the course has not officially begun. The trees, however, have been coming down for weeks.

President Donald Trump said June 28 that work on the historical public golf facility would begin Sept. 1, but days before that date, his administration has released no final design, construction schedule or estimated cost.

Officials have not said whether the course will close next week, what work might begin, or what golfers and other visitors to the national parkland should expect.

An informal count Thursday found that more than 60 trees appeared to have been removed in recent weeks. Many were around the perimeter and park-SEE TREES ON B14

may want to include."

In a statement, a spokesperson for Virginia's Department of General Services said crews removed the monuments in accordance with the budget item passed this year. The Jackson statue was unveiled in 1875, the Smith statue in 1906 and the McGuire statue in 1904, according to the statement.

The statues were gifted by the commonwealth to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation, which will determine their relocation and future public display, the department said.

In a statement, the foundation said it would collaborate with state and local partners to “ensure the long-term preservation of these significant outdoor works of art.”

The foundation's CEO, Keven Walker, said the foundation's mission is driven by its belief that "our shared history can unite the people of our nation; that there is strength and inspiration for our own times to be found in the struggles of the past."

"Preservation is more about the future than the past, and ensuring the preservation of the Capitol

Square monuments is a part of that clear vision," Walker said.

Richmond has drawn international attention for its efforts to confront its legacy of slavery and the Civil War.

About a month after the top-pling of Davis's statue, workers wielding power tools and large rolls of bubble wrap extricated a life-size statue of Robert E. Lee and busts of seven of his Confederate colleagues out of the Virginia Capitol.

Some icons have been reinterpreted in museums. Others have been hidden away in storage.

But for years after that initial flurry of activity, the three statues on the Capitol Grounds remained, a symbol of how deeply Confederate heritage was woven into Richmond's landscape.

The issue flared up again in 2022, when then-Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) appointed a historian who had defended the statues to Virginia's Board of Historic Resources, raising questions about whether he intended to reignite the fight over their place in Richmond.

That fight never materialized.

After 22 years in the legislature, as he was preparing to join the administration of Gov. Abigail

Spanberger (D), Ebbin introduced his bill to remove the three holdouts.

The statues are of:

Jackson, a former instructor at the Virginia Military Institute who became Lee's top general but died after a friendly-fire accident during the war. While lionized for his military skills, Jackson was a lifelong defender of slavery.

Smith, who served as governor both in the 1840s and again at the end of the Civil War. He was also a Confederate general who owned enslaved people.

McGuire was a Confederate soldier and physician for the Southern army who amputated Jackson's arm after that friendly-fire incident. McGuire, who died at the turn of the 20th century, supported slavery all his life.

On Friday, Ebbin responded to critics of his efforts who say that removing the statues amounts to “erasing history.”

"We're not erasing history," he said. "It's just about who we choose to put on the front page."

State Sen. Lamont Bagby (D-Henrico), head of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, said the group had identified the statues on the Capitol grounds well before the 2020 protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd. He said that shifts in political power, namely the election of Youngkin and Republican control of the House, delayed the efforts for several years.

Bagby reflected on the Black Virginians who helped build the Capitol and many other buildings on the grounds and who had to walk past the statues.

"It's a reminder of the hatred," Bagby said. "I'm not saying that those statues don't have a place, but that place is certainly not in such a prestigious place as the Virginia Capitol Square."

Bagby said he and other Black state lawmakers continue to study ways to correct the racism of the past, such as instances when Black families were made to sell their homes to universities, and when some health care institutions displaced Black communities. He said they are also looking into funding for historically Black colleges and universities.

“It’s not all about tearing down monuments,” Bagby said. “It’s also about building up infrastructure to level the playing field.”

ing lot, but others had been removed from playing corridors on the Blue, Red and White courses.

Among the most conspicuous was a cherry tree near the 14th green of the Blue Course, one of East Potomac's most picturesque holes, framed by cherry trees near the southern end of Hains Point. Nearby, two large sycamores had been removed around the fourth hole.

Tree removal is common in major golf course renovations, often to widen playing corridors, improve sight lines, and allow more sunlight and air to reach the turf. But the Interior Department characterized the activity as routine maintenance and did not connect it to the proposed redesign, nor did it answer questions about whether notice of the work had been provided to the federal court overseeing a legal challenge to the administration's plans.

"Arborists are doing routine maintenance at East Potomac Park with selective removal of hazard trees, non-native invasive trees, and declining and dying trees that cannot be brought back to good health through any degree of intervention," a department spokesperson said in a statement. "Trees throughout the park are regularly monitored for potential safety impacts to visitors, and when a tree is determined to be dying, declining, or hazardous our arborists may make the decision to remove it."

During a May hearing in the lawsuit, brought by preservationists seeking to block the course overhaul, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes declined to stop the government from performing necessary maintenance but warned administration lawyers against presenting the court with a fait accompli. She said she wanted advance notice before the government removed more than 10 trees or brought equipment larger than a sedan onto the property.

That direction was delivered orally and was not included in a formal written order. A person familiar with the legal proceedings, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution, said the government has not notified the plaintiffs or the court about the recent tree work.

A joint court filing posted Friday added to the uncertainty surrounding Trump's proposed Sept. 1 start date.

The Justice Department, which previously has asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit, wrote that “no final agency action has occurred” and that “multiple public-facing steps” would precede a course redesign.

The plaintiffs, however, highlighted the tension between that position and the administration's stated timetable. They quoted a government attorney telling the court during a July hearing that

Interior and the Park Service were “trying to meet” a September construction date.

At the same time, the plaintiffs noted that the government has represented that before breaking ground, the Park Service will complete environmental and historical-preservation reviews, determine that the work would not impair park resources and obtain approval from the National Capital Planning Commission.

They cited an Aug. 6 email in which a Justice Department attorney said the Park Service “must secure final approval from NCPC before construction of a proposed redesign can begin.”

A National Park Service spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

Some of the required steps remain unfinished. An initial meeting in the historical-preservation review has twice been postponed and has not been rescheduled. And the golf course is not currently on the agenda for the National Capital Planning Commission's next meeting, scheduled for this coming Thursday.

As state shifts costs to local governments, municipalities struggle to fund EMTs

BY TINASHE CHINGARANDE Baltimore Sun

Maryland counties are being forced to squeeze funding for paramedics and EMTs as rising costs and reduced state support put pressure on local budgets.

The pressure intensified July 1, when Gov. Wes Moore's fiscal 2027 budget took effect and shifted more costs to local governments, including reducing the state's contribution to teachers' pensions and education programs. The changes mean counties must absorb more of those costs while also facing rising expenses to staff emergency services, local leaders told The Baltimore Sun on Wednesday.

Harford County added \$10 million to its education costs in fiscal 2027, county Treasurer Robert Sandlass said, putting additional pressure on the county's ability to fund emergency personnel as it struggles to recruit and retain paramedics and EMTs.

"The county has had to hire all of those paramedics and EMTs and outfit them, and that's certainly one of those places where (costs) are just going to get more and more expensive," said Harford County Treasurer Robert Sandlass. "It's a very tight labor market for those individuals. They're highly skilled. They're in demand. You have to pay a market rate."

Counties also face higher emergency services costs as volunteer fire departments struggle to recruit and retain volunteers because of a nationwide decline in volunteer firefighters, increasing reliance on paid emergency personnel, Sandlass said.

Prince George's County is also facing pressure on its social-service and health programs, a county council member said. County council member Jolene Ivey said the county's health and social services departments are already underfunded, and added financial pressures make it harder to hire enough personnel.

“They’re always short-staffed. They’re always needing more resources,” Ivey told The Sun. “So the thought of fewer resources is alarming.”

The pressure comes as Maryland is projected to face additional budget shortfalls over the next five years. To close a \$1.4 billion budget shortfall for fiscal 2027, Moore made nearly a billion dollars in cuts to state programs and fund transfers. Most notable was a \$150 million cut to the local income tax reserve account, which officials argued was necessary because the state had overpaid local jurisdictions their share of income taxes the comptroller collects.

Kevin Kinnally, legislative director at the Maryland Association of Counties, said counties are seriously considering raising property and income taxes, particularly as the federal government's dismantling of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has compounded pressure from the state.

“Counties are shifting all over the place, kind of in real time, dealing with all these pressures at the federal and state level,” Kinnally said. “So when you have things like, ‘Hey, if there’s a tornado tomorrow, and the feds don’t show up, what are we going to do? The state doesn’t have a big reserve fund.’ Things like that are top of mind.”

The governor's budget also adjusted the state's share of retirement costs for teachers, community college staff and librarians to save \$39 million, shifting more of it to local governments. There was also a \$27 million cut to disparity grant funding, which helps low-income jurisdictions support essential services, affecting Baltimore City and counties including Prince George's and several on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland.

The governor's office declined to respond to questions Wednesday about county leaders' concerns, whether the state plans to provide additional relief to local governments and how the administration plans to address potential impacts on cities and counties because of projected budget shortfalls in future years.

Maryland economists cautioned that taxpayers could lose essential programs if the state continues pushing costs to the local level.

Daraius Irani, vice president of business and public engagement at Towson University, said counties have limited ability to make up higher costs through income taxes because state law caps their local income-tax rates at half the state's rate. That limits how much additional revenue counties can raise to cover high-

VIRGINIA

A mystery in the commonwealth: What has happened to the piping plover?

A piping plover walks along a beach, but their kind are dwindling.
CRAIG E. WALKER/BOSTON GLOBE/GETTY IMAGES

BY DAVE RESS Richmond Times-Dispatch

There's a mystery on the wide Atlantic beaches of the Virginia Eastern Shore's unique barrier islands: What's happening to the little piping plovers that nest there?

It's why when state wildlife biologist Ruth Boettcher makes her weekly rounds on the islands, checking on the shallow nests the plovers scoop out, she's afraid of what she'll find.

"I'll see a missing egg, with only two, or one egg left or sometimes an entirely empty nest," she said. "We didn't used to see that."

Now, as the plovers begin flying south to their winter homes in the Bahamas, she's seen just one chick from 14 breeding pairs on Cedar Island, down from over 50 pairs a decade ago. Last year, there were 5 chicks.

On Metompkin Island, just three chicks fledged, down from 12 in 2025. Breeding pair numbers are down, too.

Not that 2025 was a great year. Overall, along the 75-milelong string of Eastern Shore barrier islands, Boettcher's Department of Wildlife Resources team, along with partners from the Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, counted just 115 breeding pairs, down from a peak of 291 in 2016. The number hasn't been that low since 2003.

That was the year the scouring winds and huge waves from Hurricane Isabel created new stretches of the wide, flat beaches on which piping plovers nest.

The storm cleared vegetation from the mudflats behind the islands where plovers search for the bugs and worms they feast on.

In Isabel's wake, more and more plovers started coming to Virginia to breed — climbing steadily up from 114 pairs the spring before Isabel hit.

But after 2016, the numbers have dropped steadily.

While the final numbers aren't in yet, what Boettcher has seen on Cedar and Metompkin isn't encouraging.

And it's not obvious why.

Virginia's barrier islands are basically a natural preserve. Except for the National Seashore at Assateague and NASA's Wallops Island, they're only reachable by boat.

The Eastern Shore "is one of the few areas where piping plovers have been reliably seen during Spring migration and summer," said Roberta Kellam, of Birding Eastern Shore.

But “the piping plovers are found exclusively on the Barrier

Islands, which are fairly inaccessible," she said. People who make the trip to a barrier island are asked to stay below the high tide line between April and August — it's too easy to step on a shallow plover's nest before you see it.

“They are not only a special sight because they are rare, but also because they are quite adorable. Small, plump, smartly-plumaged, the perfect sand-color accentuated with smart black markings,” Kellam said.

Nobody's hunting piping plovers these days, as they did decades ago, when the birds were driven nearly to extinction to feed a millinery-driven fashion trend.

But there aren't any other obvious signs of trouble. The coastal development that encroaches on wildlife habitat in other states isn't a factor on the barrier islands.

It wasn't really all that hot this spring, as the birds arrived and the males started the rapid, stiff-legged goose-stepping that kicks off their courtship dance.

There was enough rain to keep the mudflats from drying out, which can make it hard for the plovers to poke in to find their meals.

There weren't the kind of storms that push waves high enough on the beach to drown plovers' nests.

On the other hand, there weren't storms to clear encroaching vegetation from the mudflats

— over the years, the acreage of flats where the plovers can feed has shrunk.

Boettcher and her team had cleared pathways across Cedar Island's dunes to make it easier for the plovers to reach the flats, but she hasn't seen any signs they're using it.

Sometimes, she'll spot egg-shells by a ghost crab burrow. Sometimes, there's no clue about where the eggs have gone.

And why fewer plovers do their stiff-legged courting, scoop out their shallow nests or do their broken wing displays to discourage predators than they used to, no one knows.

“Truly, it’s a real mystery,” Boettcher said.

Teenage boy describes fighting off a rabid beaver that bit his chest and hands

BY CALEB OGILVIE Frederick News-Post

Dominick Cebula can't feel anything in one of his fingers, two of his knuckles and part of his chest since a rabid beaver attacked him on July 26.

And he wants people to know that the beaver attacked him, not the other way around.

“I did not mess with it,” said Dominick, who lives in Walkersville and turned 14 on Aug. 12. “I was just swimming, and it just came out of nowhere.”

The attack left Dominick's hands and chest severely injured, he and his father, Jeffrey Cebula, said in interviews with the Frederick News-Post.

After treatments, surgeries and follow-up doctor appointments, Dominick has been fully treated for rabies and his stitches are out, they said. But he still can't feel anything in some parts of his body and will have another surgery to reattach a damaged nerve.

In response to the incident, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources closed swimming access to Hunting Creek Lake in Cunningham Falls State Park, where the attack occurred, according to an Aug. 5 press release.

Employees started watching for beavers in the area.

Another rabid beaver bit a 19-year-old 10 days later about 250 yards from where Dominick was bitten, a DNR spokesperson previously said. The department then closed additional areas around the lake, according to the Aug. 5 press release.

Another beaver bit a 10-year-old in Montgomery County's Seneca Creek State Park eight days later. A dead beaver in the park tested positive for rabies on Wednesday, but health and DNR officials don't know if that's the same beaver, according to a DNR press release updated Wednesday.

After Dominick was bitten, he spent the rest of his day in the hospital while DNR closed the beach and started its search. Doctors treated him for rabies and closed his wounds. There have been follow-up doctor appointments and he will undergo another surgery to fix nerve damage in his hand.

The following account is based on interviews with Dominick and Jeffrey Cebula, who was not at the lake when Dominick was bitten but said he's familiar with the events.

The bite started with fish.

Dominick was swimming near the north shore of Hunting Creek Lake, the water up to his chest. Dominick saw fish and submerged underwater to look at them.

Alishia Cebula, Dominick's mother, saw something coming toward her son but didn't know what it was.

She yelled for Dominick, but he was diving underwater and didn't hear her.

It turned out a beaver was swimming toward Dominick.

"He did not see it coming," Jeffrey Cebula said.

The beaver latched on to Dominick's chest. Dominick grabbed it by the neck and leg to try to throw it off.

The beaver didn't come off initially.

"It kind of started shaking its head, kind of making the bite worse, almost like a dog," Jeffrey Cebula said.

The beaver eventually let go. Dominick started backing away, but the beaver jumped on him again and bit Dominick's left hand, then let go.

Then Dominick put his right hand up, and the beaver bit it.

When Alishia Cebula got to the beaver, she splashed the water and the beaver turned around and swam away.

Dominick saw his wounds immediately.

“I knew what it looked like because I saw it as soon as it happened,” he said. “I remember looking down at my chest and my hands, so I knew what it looked like.”

Dominick's right hand was especially "messed up," he said.

“I thought they were going to have to amputate my finger because the bite was down to the bone,” he said.

Dominick ran out of the water and onto the shore. His mother gave him a towel to hold over his chest and ran to a nearby restroom to ask people to call 911.

One person went to Dominick's younger brother to pack up the family's belongings.

Alishia Cebula sat down with Dominick and tried to calm him until first responders arrived.

“They’re way out at the lake, so it’s not nearby the city, so the ambulance took a little while to get there,” Jeffrey Cebula said.

When first responders arrived, they worried the beaver could have punctured a lung, so they needed to get Dominick to a hospital.

An ambulance took Dominick to a helicopter, which took him to Johns Hopkins Hospital.

While Dominick was flown to the hospital, his family drove. Alishia Cebula used a first responder's phone to contact her husband because her phone had bad reception in the area.

Dominick said he remembers doctors asking him how he felt and where he felt pain after he got off the helicopter. Doctors treated him in an emergency room near the helipad.

"After like 30 minutes, I got put into my own room and that's where I stayed for, like, the rest of the time until I went into surgery," he said.

If someone has been exposed to rabies and hasn't been vaccinated for the disease or treated before their exposure, they receive human rabies immune globulin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's web page. They also receive four vaccine injections over the next two weeks.

Dominick said he already had an IV, so doctors told him he wouldn't have to get a separate injection for his first rabies treatment.

The doctors sedated him during the treatment.

The process for treating rabies is predetermined, Jeffrey Cebula said, so doctors didn't talk that much about treating Dominick for rabies.

Instead, they talked about another task: reattaching and closing up Dominick's skin.

"Not to get too graphic, but there was a lot that was missing," Jeffrey Cebula said, referring to the chest bite. "There was a large gap."

A plastic surgeon was able to close up Dominick's chest.

“They were able to pull it together, and today it’s healing really well,” his father said.

The beaver didn't puncture the lung, either, alleviating an initial concern.

Dominick said he doesn't remember the treatment.

"The only thing I remember is waking up and everything looking and feeling really weird," he said.

A doctor tested Dominick's hands for nerve damage and determined them to be okay.

But Dominick still doesn't feel anything in parts of his hands and in a small part of his chest.

“I can’t feel temperature [or] my pain,” he said, referring to the numb parts. “I can’t feel, like, anything.”

Jeffrey Cebula said Dominick will need another surgery to fix a severed nerve in his right hand.

Feelings in the left hand and chest will come back without surgery, he said.

After Dominick left the hospital and got home, he watched movies and took medicine. It didn't help as much as the treatment at the hospital.

"It was actually more pain at home than at the hospital because I couldn't really take any medicine other than ibuprofen and Tylenol," he said.

He was in pain, he said, but couldn't see the source. Bandages covered it up.

“It’s been like an unnoticeable, slow recovery,” he said.

During the Tuesday interview, 23 days after the attack, Dominick said he wasn't in pain.

The beaver bit Dominick days before a planned Cebula family vacation to Chincoteague.

Jeffrey Cebula said the family planned the vacation to start on July 29. Dominick was bitten on July 26.

But Jeffrey and Alishia Cebula still wanted their son to get out.

"We wanted him to kind of get distracted," Jeffrey Cebula said.

So, they went to Ocean City. Dominick's arms were bandaged from fingertip to elbow, though, his father said, so he couldn't get in the water or go on the boardwalk rides.

That also meant strangers started asking questions. When the strangers learned he was attacked by a beaver, they realized they already knew about Dominick and the attack.

“I mean, people from everywhere heard about it and knew about it and were really nice and did a lot of kind things,” Jeffrey Cebula said.

After talking to strangers about the attack, the family warmed up to talking about it with the public — with Dominick's permission.

“All the interactions we had out in public with strangers and even with family and friends who wanted to talk about it — he was very open about it and OK with it,” Jeffrey Cebula said.

Dominick said he doesn't mind people asking him about the attack.

"It was just really, like, shocking to know that people from Ocean City, even, knew about it," he said.

The family had previously debated whether to talk about the incident, Jeffrey Cebula said.

“We don’t do a lot of big social gatherings,” he said. “We don’t hang out in big crowds. Most of the time, if we’re hanging out, we’re hanging out with family. We have a very small circle.”

Dominick's aunt encouraged the family to share Dominick's story and started a GoFundMe to raise \$1,000 to help with medical costs.

Dominick has another surgery ahead of him. Jeffrey Cebula said he hopes his son will be healed by October so he can practice wrestling for Walkersville High School.

VIRGINIA

Budget cuts could strain behavioral health crisis response times in state

BY KATE SELTZER Virginian-Pilot

The budget that recently took effect in Virginia includes provisions that mean Medicaid will no longer reimburse providers for certain behavioral health services.

Subject to federal approval, the Department of Medical Assistance Services, which administers Medicaid at the state level, will no longer pay for a service called community stabilization. And the agency will shorten the availability of mobile crisis response from eight hours per incident to four.

When someone is experiencing a behavioral or mental health crisis, they can call 988 and get connected to a call center that provides 24-hour crisis counseling over the phone. If there's an immediate threat to health and safety, that might require response for EMS or police.

But mobile crisis response is an alternative, where professionals come to the person in crisis and offer on-scene evaluation, treatment and intervention.

One step down from mobile crisis response is community stabilization — that's what happens in the aftermath of a behavioral or mental health crisis. It's not an emergency response, but the goal is to avoid hospitalization by providing in-home or community-based crisis services and counseling.

The changes to access to crisis services for Medicaid patients could mean more hospitalizations, and they will impact how providers are able to be reimbursed for that care. If fewer private entities are willing or able to treat Medicaid patients, community service boards could face a rising demand to step in and help.

“Typically community service boards function in the capacity to provide indigent care or unreimbursed care, because private entities don’t typically do that work,” said Brandon Rodgers, executive director of the Western Tidewater Community Services Board, which serves as a regional hub for crisis services across the region.

“By not having that as a covered service for Medicaid recipients, we're likely to see more service referrals to the CSBs to support care that isn't being paid for (with Medicaid).”

In fiscal 2026, which ended in June, DMAS paid out about \$223 million for mobile crisis response for Medicaid members. About 22,000 Medicaid users received the service, which cost an average of roughly \$10,000. Of that group, 52 percent of patients were Black and 44 percent were white. About half of the patients had depressive disorders as their primary diagnosis; 21 percent had bipolar and related disorders, 18 percent had schizophrenia and other disorders, and 16% had trauma and stressor-related disorders.

Likewise, DMAS paid out about \$95 million for Medicaid members for community stabilization services. About 12,000 people received those services, averaging about \$7,700 per member. Most of the Medicaid patients who received the services were Black, and the majority of the primary diagnoses prompting a response were depressive disorders, followed by bipolar and related disorders and schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

In total, the changes in the state budget would save about \$300 million in spending.

State Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-Charlottesville, campaigned for years for better access to behavioral health services after his son, in the midst of a mental health crisis, stabbed him before taking his own life. Deeds was unable to secure a bed for his son the day before the tragedy.

Deeds said cuts at the federal level, including to Medicaid, had lawmakers concerned.

“We’ll get through it, but it’s going to be tough,” he said. “It’s going to make everything tight.”

And, the legislature was concerned about significant instances of fraud. Between 2022 and 2026, a the operator of a mental health agency based in Richmond is alleged to have fraudulently billed Medicaid for more than \$49.6 million for community stabilization and mobile crisis re-

sponse services.

"I don't think the clientele is to be blamed for what's going on, but there are some things that we've been concerned about that has caused us to reexamine some of those programs," Deeds said.

He said reducing access points to behavioral health care is a concern but that lawmakers have to be smart about how they spend that money.

“That means that when we smell money that’s going out the door — not to provide services to people that need help, but that is perhaps being spent in other ways — we’ve got to examine it,” he said. “We’ve got to tighten up, and we’ve got to make sure we’re spending in the right places. I’m worried, but I think that we have to make sure that we have spending under control, too.”

The budget changes shouldn't interfere with the quality of care, Rodgers with the Western Tidewater Community Services Board said. That is, mobile crisis responders shouldn't bail on someone in crisis at the four-hour mark just because that person is a Medicaid recipient.

But it will be harder for responders to get reimbursed for that work. And if there are fewer routes for care in the wake of a mental health crisis, that could strain an already overloaded hospital system.

The Department of Behavioral

Health and Developmental Services maintains a dashboard of the current occupancy rate at department state hospitals for children and adults. As of Monday, those hospitals were 99.3% full statewide for adults, and 100% full for children.

Private psychiatric units can provide additional capacity, but state hospitals are required to admit people if another bed can't be located after eight hours in cases where a temporary detention order is recommended, Rodgers said.

"When the state hospital census reaches such critical levels, safely admitting individuals in need of treatment can be delayed, making community-based services like community stabilization and mobile crisis response all the more necessary to provide proactive alternatives to inpatient care," he said.

Rodgers said it feels like a step backward in terms of the work the state has done in the past several years to expand community supports and reduce hospitalizations.

"There's going to be an ambulance that comes to your door if you're having a heart attack," Rodgers said. "If you're suicidal, and in need of urgent behavioral health intervention, we're right now made up of a mix of private and public resources to come and respond to your door. There's not that same level of parity in behavioral health, but there is a similar level of risk to life and safety."

OBITUARIES

KING HARALD V OF NORWAY, 89

BY VICTORIA CRAW

Norway's King Harald V, who fled Adolf Hitler's invasion with his family to take refuge in the White House as a boy, and who later helped modernize the country's monarchy during his popular 35-year reign, died Friday at a hospital in Oslo. He was 89.

His death was announced by Norway's royal family, which did not cite a cause.

Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said the “whole nation is in mourning” in a statement Friday, adding that King Harald had “helped us to see the best in ourselves — and in one another.”

"King Harald had a profound love for Norway. And Norway had a profound love for King Harald," he said. Other ruling families from across Europe including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands shared tributes, alongside political leaders.

The Norwegian ruler was spirited to safety as a child while war gripped Europe. He spent his formative years in the United States before returning home at age 8, furnished with an American accent and a memory of standing behind President Franklin D. Roosevelt at his inauguration.

As an adult, King Harald defied tradition by marrying commoner Sonja Haraldsen in 1968. Their marriage shocked the establishment and sparked warnings of the monarchy's downfall but proved to be one of several ways he charted his own course as ruler. The couple were married more than five decades.

The avid sportsman and nature lover represented his country in sailing at three Olympic Games — Tokyo in 1964, Mexico City in 1968 and in Munich 1972

— before finally declaring an end to his competitive days in 2022, at age 85. He led the Norwegian chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for 20 years and is the first king to have a portion of the Arctic named after him.

As leader of Norway's constitutional monarchy, King Harald had a largely ceremonial role. But he endeared himself to the country of 5.6 million with his emotional openness and support of diversity and religious tolerance. He sought to modernize and make the monarchy more transparent, engaging in media interviews and publishing annual financial reports.

In 1997, King Harald publicly apologized to the Arctic Sami people for government efforts to eradicate their culture over more than two centuries. In the aftermath of the 2011 massacre in which far-right extremist Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage, he drew praise for a speech in which he struggled to contain his emotions while trying to console the nation. During the speech, he reiterated his belief in a strong, multicultural society.

In 2016, he went viral for his passionate speech at a royal palace garden party in support of diversity, religious tolerance and LGBTQ rights.

“Norwegians are enthusiastic young people — and wise old people. Norwegians are single, divorced, families with children and old married couples. Norwegians are girls who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other. Norwegians believe in God, Allah, the Universe and nothing," he said at the time.

"In other words," he added, "Norway is you."

King Harald V was born Feb. 21, 1937, at Skaugum, outside Oslo, the first Norwegian-born prince in 567 years, after the country's earlier union with Denmark and Sweden. His grandfather, King Haakon VII, became Norway's sovereign in 1905, establishing a new independent monarchy. The family are relatives of Britain's royals, and King Harald and Queen Elizabeth II were second cousins.

He was the third child of Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Märtha, who already had two daughters. But at the time, only male heirs could inherit the throne, ensuring his place in the line of succession. (This was amended in 1990 so that the eldest child takes precedence, regardless of gender.)

His peaceful early childhood was shattered when German troops invaded the country in April 1940. As members of the government and royal family sought to escape the capital by train, Princess Märtha fled to Sweden with her three children and sailed on to the United States at Roosevelt's invitation.

In the U.S., they stayed at the White House and at Roosevelt's home in Hyde Park, New York, while King Harald's father and grandfather escaped to London to set up a government in exile. Princess Märtha and the children eventually settled in a Tudor-style mansion north of Bethesda.

King Harald would speak of his time in the U.S. fondly, saying in a 1999 speech to President Bill Clinton that he clearly remembered “standing right behind President Roosevelt when he was sworn in.” Images show the Norwegian royal children standing on the White House steps at the time.

In 2015, King Harald said in a speech in Seattle that he was “deeply grateful for the generosity and hospitality we felt throughout those five years in the United States.”

“Your country has had a special place in my heart ever since,” he added.

Upon returning home in 1945, King Harald attended school in Oslo before training at a military academy and studying at the University of Oxford in Britain.

When Haakon died in September 1957, he became Crown Prince, working alongside his father, King Olav V, before ascending to the throne after his father's death in 1991.

Survivors include Queen Sonja; two children, Princess Märtha Louise and Crown Prince Haakon, who will succeed him as king; an elder sister, Princess Astrid; and two grandchildren.

While initially controversial, King Harald and Sonja's love story endeared them to the Norwegian public. In 2016, the couple shared unseen photos of their courtship with Norway's national broadcaster, NRK, describing how they met in 1959, when Crown Prince Harald was 22, and quickly fell in love.

Though filled with guilt over expectations he would marry a member of European nobility, King Harald said attempts to end their romance amid disapproval from the establishment and Norwegian press were not “entirely successful.” He ended up delivering his father an ultimatum: If he could not marry Sonja, he would remain unmarried. Olav relented, and the couple married at Oslo Cathedral.

Crown Prince Haakon's decision to marry a former waitress and single mother in 2001 would also draw controversy. King Harald supported their relationship, and the fairy-tale wedding drew thousands of flag-waving well-wishers.

The royal family has faced controversy this year, with Crown Princess Mette-Marit under scrutiny for her friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Files released as part of a U.S. Justice Department investigation revealed more than 100 messages between Mette-Marit and the disgraced financier. Mette-Marit also came under the spotlight this summer after her eldest son, Marius, was convicted of rape and sentenced to four years in prison. King Harald said he had sympathy for “all those affected” by the trial, and declined to comment on his daughter-in-law’s ties to Epstein.

Being a sovereign, he once said, was a “lifelong learning period.” But he said he believed the monarchy is in good hands with his son. In 2024, he announced a permanent reduction in duties, citing health issues, but ruled out abdicating as monarch, saying the oath he swore “lasts for life.

"It's that simple for me. We're going to keep going until the bitter end."

SULLIVAN

WILLIAM F. SULLIVAN "Bill"

William F. Sullivan, 87, passed away on July 25, 2026, at Goodwin House Alexandria in Virginia.

Bill was born to Helene O'Neill Sullivan and Joseph David Sullivan and raised in Norwalk, Connecticut, where he graduated from the Fairfield College Preparatory School. His college years were spent at Duquesne University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English, History and Education.

After serving in the U.S. Army for two years, Bill settled in Arlington, Virginia, where he began his 38 year career with the Arlington Public School system. His first job was as a Job Placement Coordinator at The George Mason Center where he implemented programs for students with disabilities. During that time he placed hundreds of students in supportive job placements, many of whom became permanently employed by and eventually retired from the Federal government.

In 1975 Bill was hired a a Program Coordinator for Students with Special Needs at the Arlington Career Center where he eventually retired as the Center's Director in 2004. During his time there he continued his education, earning a Master's degree in Special Education and a Doctorate in Counseling and Human Development, both from The George Washington University.

Bill was a Licensed Professional Counselor and served as a consultant for the United States Government's Senior Executive Service members on effective leadership practices and also as a Research Associate at Children's National Medical Center where he trained several medical residents in developing skills to effectively communicate with parents of children with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.

At different times between 1983 and 1988, Bill taught as an Adjunct Professor at Trinity College, The George Washington University and George Mason University. Bill never tired or wavered in his love of education and of helping students find their passion. Given the opportunity, he would talk to anyone interested in furthering their education or assist them in making it happen.

At a "singles" dance at the Washington Hotel in the 60's, Bill met his future wife, Bea. His kindness, integrity and beautiful singing voice, not to mention his Irish good looks, won Bea over and they married in 1968. They were blessed with two children, a daughter and a son.

In 2018 Bill was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. To no one's surprise, he rose above the disease, living his final years with courage, kindness, dignity - and song - "Danny Boy" being his longtime favorite and a song he would sing to anyone willing to listen. Bill was a wonderful husband, father, adoring "Pa" to his grandchildren, brother and friend, respected by all and loved by so many. He will be deeply missed.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Helene Sullivan. In addition to his wife, Bea, of 58 years, Bill is survived by his children, daughter Erin (Chris); son, Matthew (Elana); grandchildren Nicholas and Patrick Lee and Jonah, Rowan and Ryann Sullivan; brother Dave (Anneliese); niece, Barbara Sullivan; nephew Stefan Sullivan (Marina) and their sons, Bruno and Lucas.

A Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 4:00 pm at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Alexandria, VA, with a reception immediately following at Goodwin House, Alexandria, VA.

Donations may be made to the Arlington Community Foundation “Future Educators Scholarship Fund” or to the Goodwin Living Foundation “Team Member Support Fund” through their websites.

WEATHER

As world inches toward catastrophic climate events, more shocks are in store

BY PETER PRENGAMAN Associated Press

NEW YORK — In the opening scene of American writer Kim Stanley Robinson's “The Ministry for the Future,” a heat wave combined with a breakdown of the electrical grid in India kills 20 million people. The devastation causes the world's nations to unite to combat climate change.

Scientists have long warned that the world will experience more intense extreme weather events like heat waves, storms, floods and droughts. But what once seemed like the realm of fiction is now discussed as a possibility, even an inevitability.

Warning about an “extreme of extremes” or the “Other Big One,” a play off the California reference of a big future earthquake, can be fraught. After all, nobody can say for sure when a weather catastrophe may happen. But in the last few years, the planetary ingredients needed for a massive disturbance have been building. And alarm is growing. “The risk is that people just think you are exaggerating,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with the California Institute for Water Resources. “It’s the ‘Boy Who Cried Wolf’ problem. Sometimes wolves are real. If it’s outside the door, wouldn’t you want to know?”

In the 1850s, while living in Seneca Falls, New York, amateur scientist Eunice Newton Foote did a series of experiments that put different substances, including carbon dioxide and moist air, inside glass cylinders and left them in the sun. What she found was extraordinary: cylinders with carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is released when coal, gas or oil is burned, heated up faster and took longer to cool after the sun went down.

Fast-forward: Today, Earth is being heated by massive amounts of greenhouse gases being pumped into the atmosphere, leading to a gradual rise in average global temperature. That increase, 1.44 degrees Celsius (2.59 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer in 2025 compared to the early 1800s, leads to more frequent, and more intense, extreme weather events.

The country that has released the most greenhouse gas, and thus contributed most to climate change, is the United States. But don't expect recognition of that, much less major government-led efforts to combat it, as the country marks its 250th birthday. President Donald Trump has called climate change “the greatest con job ever,” referred to climate policies as a “Green New Scam” and said U.N. climate predictions were made by “stupid people.”

At any given time there are numerous extreme weather events happening around the globe. Indeed, some have already been so big that we have arguably entered an age of extremes.

Consider Australia's “Black Summer” of wildfires in 2019 and 2020, when 19 million hectares (over 46 million acres) were scorched. Or Pakistan in 2022, when flooding left a third of the country underwater. Or Hurricanes Milton and Helene in 2024, which ravaged parts of the southern United States. That is to say nothing of periodic smaller disasters, such as last year's Texas floods that engulfed young campers; the Los Angeles wildfires that chewed through entire neighborhoods; and Typhoon Kalmaegi, which walloped Vietnam and the Philippines.

Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick, a climate scientist at Australian National University, says she had a “come to Jesus moment” when she realized that constant extreme weather events wouldn’t stop even if the world could immediately reach net zero, the point when as much greenhouse gas is taken out of the atmosphere as released into it. Many countries and major companies have net-zero targets for 2050 or beyond.

Because carbon dioxide can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, and so much has already built up, the damage could take centuries to reverse. And we keep adding more.

"It's the issue of the frog in the boiling water," said Perkins-Kirkpatrick. "If we get used to bracing ourselves, are we going to notice?"

What's clear is that no country is truly prepared for a major climate disaster, and the risks are changing.

Robinson, whose book was published in 2020, says if he were writing today he would include a chapter on wildfires, which have become larger and more destructive. And while the potential heat disaster he writes about in India would arguably be less likely today, thanks to less reliance on the grid and use of solar power, Robinson believes the risks of catastrophe have increased. The book, he says, “still has a purpose.”

It's basic psychology to avoid talking about uncomfortable things. Climate change, depressing and overwhelming, falls into that category.

Instead of taking action by radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions, or updating our infrastructure to live in a world altered by extreme weather events, a common response, from governments to individuals has largely been to ignore it. Part of the challenge is the care scientists must take when discussing extreme events.

It's impossible to say, for example, that a disaster will happen in a certain year or even decade. But modeling improves every year, and the amount of time between extreme events is shrinking.

Sonia Seneviratne is a Swiss climatologist who vice chairs a working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the top U.N. body of climate scientists. Seneviratne likens the risk to smoking and lung cancer. People who smoke won't necessarily get lung cancer, but the chances are higher and doctors should say that. Similarly, the risk of massive extreme events rises with every tenth of a degree.

"If such an event happened, I could already see the criticism of people saying, ‘Climate scientists didn’t tell us,’” Seneviratne said. "But we did."

While earthquakes are not connected to climate change, the way many cities in earthquake-prone California have prepared for a potential Big One is as an example of what's possible. Central to that effort has been Lucy Jones, a seismologist and author of "The Big Ones: How Natural Disasters Have Shaped Us (and What We Can Do About Them)."

In 2014, Jones, then with the U.S. Geological Survey, worked with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's administration in developing an initiative that produced widespread retrofitting and earthquake preparedness in LA, and then later in other California cities. Two years later, she formed a nonprofit that advises on preparing for earthquakes and other disasters.

Jones says people will make changes if they believe risks are real and solutions are possible. Without that belief, the response will likely be to ignore the issue.

“Climate denial is one way of coping,” said Jones. She said people rationalize by thinking, ‘I won’t believe it’s true, so I’ll feel safer.’

Over the last quarter century, many movies have focused on extreme weather events, which provide action and danger to any plot. The cinematic portrayals usually have one of two endings: everything will be okay or we are doomed.

Consider two popular climate movies that came out 15 years apart. In the 2004 “The Day After Tomorrow,” Jack Hall, played by Dennis Quaid, is a climate scientist who, speaking at a U.N. climate conference in Delhi, urges a major reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, warning that a failure to do so will lead to major extreme weather events. "The climate is fragile," Hall says.

"The economy is fragile," responds the U.S. vice president.

Shortly after, the disaster that Hall warns about happens. Melting polar ice halts the North Atlantic Current, which moves warm ocean currents northeast across the Atlantic. There are giant cyclones, massive hailstones, heavy flooding and tornadoes before a big freeze takes over — so cold that anybody outside dies.

Eventually the vice president, who has become president, apologizes to the nation for exploiting nature. "We were wrong," he says.

In the 2021 satire “Don’t Look Up,” two astronomers played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence discover a giant comet heading toward Earth. They try to spur action to avoid annihilation. The U.S. president, played by Meryl Streep, isn’t interested.

"At this exact moment, I think we sit tight and assess," Streep says after learning the comet is heading straight toward Earth.

"How big is this thing? Can it destroy my ex-wife's house?" jokes a television news host.

At the end, almost everybody dies, a scenario that even the worst predictions of climate impacts don't envision.

As powerful as extreme weather events have already gotten, much worse is likely to come. It's basic physics.

More than half all greenhouse gases produced by humans throughout history have been released into the atmosphere over 50 years. Those gases create heat, which scrambles weather patterns and ecosystems.

The when of a major climatic event, or more likely several in different parts of the world, can't be known with certainty. A catastrophic event in any given area could be in 50 years, or 10 years, or sooner.

People who deny climate change is real will point out that scientists get projections wrong, and it's true that not every climate model has been correct. But over the last decades, if anything, climate scientists have been too conservative. Climate impacts are happening much faster than predicted.

One of many examples: in January 2022, the U.K. Climate Risk Assessment said there was a 0.02% chance of 40C (104F) or above heat before 2040. That summer, parts of the U.K. topped 40C.

We have also reached a moment when “tipping points” — when deterioration of a given planetary system has crossed a threshold from which it can’t recover — are no longer positioned as theoretical or futuristic.

The most commonly cited is corals. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, between 2023 and 2025, $84\%$ of the world's corals suffered the expelling of microscopic algae in response to heat stress, which often leads to dying. Even if temperatures were to sharply drop, the recovery of most corals is doubtful.

The Amazon rainforest, which stores massive amounts of carbon dioxide and helps regulate the climate, is also at risk of a tipping point. Persistent drought, large wildfires and deforestation to make way for cattle have degraded swaths of forest in recent decades. The debate today is when, not if, the Amazon will release more carbon dioxide than it holds.

This year's El Niño, a natural and periodic warming cycle, is expected to be the strongest ever recorded, which could push temperatures even higher, breaking records and leaving damage along the way.

Overall, the Earth is on a dangerous path.

“We need to be talking about some of the worst things that can happen,” said Tim Lenton, climate science professor at the University of Exeter. “It’s natural to think that some bigger shocks are on the way.”
