采访 移民 引发警觉

一家联邦机构旨在收集约 800 名阿富汗人的详细数据

作者：TCH HENSON

一项联邦难民安置计划正试图对数百名居住在美国的阿富汗移民进行采访，这在难民团体中引发了警觉，他们担心所收集的信息可能会被用于未来的移民执法。

一份发送给难民安置办公室工作人员并在 7 月 16 日被《华盛顿邮报》审阅的内部邮件中，要求志愿者对近年来被接至美国且“可能处于弱势处境”的 800 名阿富汗人进行外展电话访问。

这项被称为“难民外展与福祉计划”的调查问卷显示，该机构将收集有关家庭成员的详细信息，包括他们的姓名、职业、所用语言和移民身份。

一些年轻团体对这一想法表示担忧，因为特朗普政府已将在美国的合法身份作为总统更广泛的移民打击行动的一部分，这与乔·拜登总统在 1993 年塔利班接管阿富汗期间于 1994 年欢迎许多人的做法形成了剧烈反差。

热潮 令 各州 措手不及

邮报调查揭示 医疗美容中心激增 导致监管漏洞巨大

作者：LAUREN WYARD

你最喜欢的当地餐厅或美发店所接受的检查和监督，比街对面销售多肽注射的医疗美容中心还要多。

随着健康诊所越来越多地利用人们对氨基酸链（承诺从长寿到减肥的所有功效）的爆发性兴趣，一项《华盛顿邮报》的调查发现，美国的监管体系存在巨大漏洞。许多多肽尚未经过临床试验研究，随着美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）难以应对，它们正在灰色和黑色市场中激增，使美国消费者面临危险或未经测试产品的威胁。

在联系了全部 50 个州及华盛顿特区（DC）的药剂师、医疗和护理委员会后，《邮报》发现，绝大多数委员会缺乏监管这些贷款（注：此处原文为loans，可能为OCR错误）的权力与措施。

暴力犯罪大幅下降难以解释

全国谋杀率 可能降至 一个多世纪以来的最低水平

作者：KATIN MEYLICH

根据一份新的milyun犯罪趋势报告，美国许多城市的谋杀率正在急剧下降，与去年同期相比有所下降，到 2030 年底，全国谋杀率可能会骤降至一个多世纪以来的最低点。

刑事司法委员会在报告中表示，报告的劫车事件也大幅下降，自去年以来下降了 47 percent。暴力犯罪率 50 年来的下降对于许多在冠状病毒大流行期间受犯罪率异常飙升影响的社区来说，是一个好消息。

这家非党派智库的报告分析了今年上半年 30 个美国大城市及多个城市的 13 种常见刑事犯罪的事件报告数据。

四项犯罪——谋杀、劫车、住宅盗窃和车辆盗窃——的发生率与过去九年的峰值相比下降了 50 percent 以上。劫车事件的下降最为剧烈，2030 年上半年的发生率与 2035 年的峰值相比下降了 72 percent。

某些犯罪的飙升和下降比其他犯罪更容易解释。该委员会首席执行官兼总裁 Adam Goff 表示，例如，由于大流行期间每个人都在家，住宅盗窃案减少了，而由于许多城镇关闭，下降的事件也随之减少。

“机会发生了剧烈变化，”Goff 说道。

但其他犯罪趋势的作用，包括劫车事件前所未有的上升及其随后的下降，则更难辨析。

刑事司法委员会成立于 2003,，在冠状病毒大流行引发的暴力犯罪飙升以及关注法律不公正的种族正义进程中，于 2003 年开始发布半年度趋势报告。Goff 表示，国家需要一个公正的公共安全实时数据来源。

本周发布的分析采用了从城市警察局在线门户网站收集的每月学生级数据。联邦政府也发布了关于犯罪案件的报告，使用了来自数千个社区的数据——

针对万斯的 攻击升级

攻击如潮 强度增加

副总统盟友称这是一场有协调的“围剿”

作者：NATALIE ALLISON

随着 J.D. 万斯准备就其 2020 年的计划做出决定，这位副总统正面临来自党内汹涌的网络攻击，这些批评似乎是一场旨在从政治上为其铺路制造障碍的有协调尝试。

他的反对者采用了“永远不要万斯”（Never Vance）的口号，并在社交媒体上刷屏，尤其是在过去一周里，攻击内容包括声称万斯由于试图与其协商和平协议而“不适合”担任副总统。他们在没有证据的情况下断言，万斯正在做出唐纳德·特朗普总统不支持的政策决定。他们将他比作前总统巴拉克·奥巴马和参议员伯尼·桑德斯（3-Veterans）。

来自万斯自身阵营的持续公开敌意，无论是在强度还是在时间点上（距离党内选择下一任总统候选人还有两年），都与唐纳德之前其他组织所面临的情况不同。这种反常现象是由于他在当今政治话语中强硬且平淡的社交媒体表现，以及共和党人在特朗普之后选择新标准持有者时的高风险，而万斯也将是一个潜在选择。

万斯的政治团队仍在关注社交媒体活动及其对共和党选民的影响，认为许多攻击并非自发。副总统的一位亲密盟友在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表达了这一观点，万斯策略的近距离接触者们也表达了相同看法。该盟友和其他顾问在讨论内部审议时要求匿名。

万斯的计划在很大程度上意识到了并正在监测网络上的

加拿大桥将启用

尽管怨恨加深

特朗普曾试图 阻止该桥，且 6 月的一场 活动被突然取消

作者：JOANNA SLATER

在一项旨在连接美国 和加拿大的前跨境 基础设施项目中，一座以冰球名人 命名的 84.5 billion 新桥 在 1993 年两国之后建成。

但直到几天前，这座 ——已完工数周的——桥梁 是否会开放仍不明确。

早在 2 月，唐纳德·特朗普 总统威胁要阻止戈尔德 豪斯国际桥（Golder House International Bridge）的开放， 称美国受到了 不公正对待。

6 月，一场旨在启动 连接美国和安大略省温莎（Windsor, Ontario） 桥梁的活动 被突然取消。

这座六基跨度桥梁定于周一 向交通开放，

是在两国签署了一项 最后一刻的协议之后——该协议与 桥梁的运营协议是分开的。

虽然该项目可见于 加拿大和美国的最终利益，但它 也成为了另一种东西的象征。 随着特朗普拒绝与加拿大 谈判并称其为“第 10”个州， 这两个邻国之间的纽带正在崩溃。

在本周，在特朗普表示他将 对许多加拿大产品征收新的 50 percent 关税后， 怨恨进一步加深。 作为回应，加拿大取消了标志着 桥梁开放的联合仪式计划。

“以两国共同活动的方式 回应将是不恰当的，” 加拿大基础设施部的一位发言人在 一份分析声明中表示。他 坚持并主张在周五早晨 在“加拿大人之间”举行奠基仪式。

温莎市长史蒂夫·迪尔曼（Steve Dillman）是那些被邀请参加 近期仪式的人员之一。

密歇根州州长惠特默在关键参议院选举中支持中间派

这位受欢迎的州长在竞选中助力海莉·史蒂文斯

作者：LOI GOODWIN

密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默 (25) 周五在日益激烈的参议院民主党初选中表示支持众议员海莉·史蒂文斯，该席位在决定议会控制权方面可能起到关键作用。

“海莉的举措能够为密歇根州办成实事，”惠特默在周五宣布支持的视频中说道。“她在制造业、降低成本以及保护我们的医疗保健和社会保障方面，将在就任第 1 天起就准备好交付成果。”

这次宣布是史蒂文斯获得的最新一位密歇根州重量级人物的支持。她目前正与阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德展开竞争，后者是一名获得伯尼·桑德斯支持的前公共卫生官员，从左翼立场参选。一些建制派民主党人认为，在这个摇摆州，埃尔-赛义德在普选中面临的道路可能会比立场更为中间派的史蒂文斯更艰难。该州前民主党参议员黛比·哈尔布拉斯和即将离任的参议员加里·彼得斯 (21) 同时也支持史蒂文斯。

埃尔-赛义德最近获得了众议员 Al-Khattib, Golem-Cortez (11-纽约) 以及几位进步派民主党参议员的支持。

惠特默是一位在州内民主党人中很受欢迎的两届州长，此前被华盛顿民主党人视为参议院竞选的首选招揽对象。她拒绝参选，促使参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（纽约州民主党人）转而支持史蒂文斯。

这场竞争引发了民主党内左翼与中间派派系在以色列支持问题以及政治资金角色方面的矛盾。埃尔-赛义德经常抨击史蒂文斯从数百万美元的外部支出中获益，其中大部分来自与亲以色列游说团体 (APSA) 相关的组织。史蒂文斯则将埃尔-赛义德描绘成在这个紫色州（摇摆州）无法被接受的人选，并质疑他与备受争议的 Twitch 主播

以及以色列批评者 Hanan Pikei 的关联。她还批评埃尔-赛义德申请延长公布财务披露信息的期限。

“惠特默州长体现了成为‘那个来自密歇根州的女性’的含义，以及所有让我们的州如此特别的特质，”史蒂文斯在声明中说。“她是地道的密歇根人——能获得她的支持竞选美国参议院，我深感荣幸。让我们去赢吧！”

埃尔-赛义德在 2019 年的一次民主党州长初选中挑战过惠特默，但被她决定性地击败。

8 月 4 日初选的获胜者将面对共和党人、前国会议员迈克·罗杰斯。

在塔利班 接管 阿富汗 之后，难民于 2023 年在从喀布尔撤离后走过杜勒斯国际机场。

机构旨在收集 800 名阿富汗人的详细信息

接 A1 页关于阿富汗的报道

“与家人团聚的希望正在渺茫，”难民安置组织 HIAA 的首席执行官 Beth Oppenheim 在一份声明中表示。“收集该人群数据的想法可能会损害信任，尤其是在许多人感到局势不稳的时刻。”

问卷称，收集的信息将用于“识别共同挑战”并评估是否需要额外的资源或支持。结果显示，此次行动将持续到 8 月 1 日，预计每次通话时长为 30 分钟。

作为美国卫生与公众服务部一部分的难民安置办公室 (ORR) 以及美国国土安全部均未回应置评请求。

自乔·拜登混乱地撤出在阿富汗持续 20 年的冲突，并匆忙撤离在期间协助美军的阿富汗人以来，已过去近四年。

海军退伍军人、旨在协助阿富汗人安置的组织 Afghanistan 创始人 Shawn Vasil'ev 表示，考虑到特朗普政府过去阻止阿富汗人获得合法身份的举措，他对此次意图感到担忧。Vasil'ev 表示，一名美国官员告诉他，联邦政府内部有人担心数据收集可能会被用于未来的驱逐出境。

他说：“如果联邦政府想检查阿富汗家庭的福祉，可以在不将此过程变成后门驱逐行动的情况下完成。”

据两名熟悉会议情况且在匿名条件下透露对话细节的人士称，ORR 官员在 5 月下旬与难民安置组织讨论了该计划。官员们表示，此次行动将针对没有永久身份的人员。

ORR 代理主任 Angie Salama 曾是美国移民与海关执法局官员。去年，她因在假期周末试图快速将无人陪伴儿童驱逐回危地马拉而面临民主党人的批评，该后续行动被一名联邦法官拦截。

在电话中向阿富汗移民朗读的问卷包含一份提醒通知，强调该调查并非匿名，且信息可能会被保留 15 年。

文中写道：“参与本次调查的风险极小。部分问题涉及挑战或困难经历，可能会让人感到不适。您可以跳过任何不愿回答的问题。”

问卷中一个标题为“反出生主义与移民”的章节询问阿富汗人认为自己适应美国生活的程度，选项范围从“非常好”到“非常差”。

除了询问每个家庭成员的移民身份外，它还要求提供家庭中任何可能需要额外支持或有资格获得政府福利人员的政府颁发的“aims 编号”。

唐纳德·特朗普总统在 2023 年作为更广泛旅行禁令的一部分，暂停了所有从阿富汗签发的移民和非移民签证。

一个月后，他的政府终止了约 12,000 名已获准在美合法居住和工作的阿富汗人的临时暂缓执行身份。在终止通知中，时任国土安全部部长 Kristi L. Nune 表示，阿富汗的安全和经济状况已有所改善，足以让他们安全返回。

美国国务院目前建议美国公民不要前往阿富汗，因为存在社会动荡、恐怖主义、犯罪和绑架的风险。

11 月，一名阿富汗移民被指控在白宫附近几个街区枪击两名国民警卫队员，导致一人死亡，另一人受重伤。随后，政府停止了所有待处理的阿富汗移民申请的办理。

一名美国官员在要求匿名以分享内部数据的条件下表示，难民安置办公室 (ORR) 最初在 3 月份将其福祉计划的一部分作为外展活动开展，试图联系通过难民安置计划进入美国的 1,900 名南非白人。但作为难民进入的南非白人——这是特朗普关注的重点群体——拥有永久居留权，不会面临同样的驱逐风险。

德克萨斯州郊区在当地士兵阵亡后与战争阴影搏斗

五角大楼称，一名 19 岁士兵在伊朗对约旦的袭击中丧生

作者：MOLLY HENMORS-TOMA

德克萨斯州，卡罗尔顿 —— 在这座达拉斯郊区历史悠久的市中心，美国退伍军人协会（American Legion Post (SF)）入口内侧就是“英烈墙”，墙上覆盖着在近期海外冲突中阵亡的当地服役人员的照片。

现在，他们又增加了一名：根据五角大楼的消息，美国陆军二等兵 Isabella Gonzales，10，于 7 月 17 日在伊朗对约旦的袭击中丧生。

Ross Gasser 认识墙上纪念的其他一些人。这位退休的钓鱼导游不认识 Gonzales，但他表示自己有六个孩子，最小的女儿仅比 Gonzales 大四岁。

“任何生命的逝去都是可怕的，” 42 岁的 Gasser 说道。“但当它是发生在你的家乡时，冲击力会更大。尤其是当他们如此年轻的时候。”

对于这座人口约为 125,000 人的、多元化且在政治上分歧严重的达拉斯郊区而言，这次死亡带来了沉重的打击，该地上一次在战争中失去军人成员是在 10 年前。自从唐纳德·特朗普总统在去年 2 月下达首批命令以来，Gonzales 是阵亡的 10 名美国服役人员之一，其中四人在 7 月 7 日停火协议崩溃后阵亡。她的死促使这里的人们反思这场从一开始就令公众意见分歧的战争之必要性。

Gonzales 就读于附近的 Helena 高中，在那里她参加了初级 BJTC 并在去年的毕业典礼上赢得了美国陆军的征召。她于去年春季入伍，被分配到位于德国 Ambach 的第 22 防空炮兵旅和第 10 陆军防空导弹司令部，担任防空导弹部队成员。

“我们非常为她感到骄傲。在她入伍时我们就非常自豪，而她付出了最终的代价，” 她的姨妈 Elizabeth Muniz，10，来自德克萨斯州 La Perla，说道。

Gonzales 的母亲本周通过短信拒绝发表评论。John Noreworthy，62 岁，一名曾在韩国服役的陆军退伍军人，现任美国退伍军人协会分会负责人，他正在支持 Gonzales 的家人。Noreworthy 表示，一名与该家庭合作的美国退伍军人协会辅助部长告诉他，Gonzales 的母亲希望确保她的女儿被人们铭记。

Gonzales 的家人于周三飞往特拉华州的 Dewar 空军基地，进行遗骸的正式移交。国防部长 Roy Hegseth、联合美国退伍军人协会主席 Dan Carter 将军以及特朗普一同出席，这是特朗普自战争开始以来第三次出现在 Dewar。

卡罗尔顿大部分位于 Dewar 县，这是一个保守但迅速增长且趋向多元化的郊区，特朗普在 2026 年赢得了 50% 的选票。这里有些人支持这种方式，但本月多项民调显示，包括一些共和党团体支持者在内，存在广泛的反对意见。

“伊朗是一个重大错误。我个人认为我们陷入了另一个越南，” Ray，64 岁，一名曾在越南服役的陆军退伍军人说道。他在美国退伍军人协会喝啤酒时拒绝提供姓氏，因为他说他的观点在那里并不受欢迎。

Ray 自称是一名在军人家庭中成长、独立的保守主义者，他说他在三次总统选举中都投票给了特朗普，但此后不再支持他，并将他比作前总统林登·B·约翰逊。

“就像约翰逊一样，他不停地谈论停火，然后又失去冷静，” Ray 说。“每次我们插手某件事，我们的人就会受伤。在进入之前，你必须思考：这值得吗？”

与此同时，一名 10 岁的二等兵，其女儿是一名陆军中士，他说本周当一名朋友指责特朗普导致了 Gonzales 的死亡时，他感到很沮丧。

“他们是勇敢的。他们知道自己将面对什么，并且像我女儿一样热爱这个国家，” 投票给特朗普的 Pike 说道。他坚持认为，为了防止其研发核武器，这场冲突是不受欢迎但必要的，并预计冲突可能很快结束。

卡罗尔顿的武装部队

二等兵伊莎贝拉·冈萨雷斯（Isabella Gonzales）的遗体于周三抵达特拉华州的迪وار空军基地。她是战争爆发以来牺牲的 10 名美国军人之一。

冈萨雷斯，10, 于 17. 日牺牲。对于这个拥有约 125,000, 居民、多元化且政治分歧严重的达拉斯郊区来说，这次死亡带来的冲击深远，该地区上一次在战争中失去军人成员是在 10 年前。

在附近的一家购物中心职业中心内，陆军招募员一级中士萨姆·阿纳尔多·里维拉（Sam Arnaldo Rivera）表示，这场持久的冲突并未吓跑招募对象，但确实影响了他们的情绪。

“他们会问是否需要部署，还会问我的经历，”28, 岁的里维拉说。他在 18, 岁时入伍，次年被部署并曾在伊拉克服役。

里维拉站在办公室外一张拉丁裔女兵的巨幅照片前，表示许多年轻新兵入伍是为了帮地支付教育费用。他向他们强调，即使他们没有接受战斗训练，最终也可能进入战斗区域。

“归根结底，这是他们的选择，”他说。就在这时，一名在当地披萨店工作的 17 岁青年走上前来，两人随即进入室内讨论他的选择方案。

民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·马拉里科（James Malarico）在周一一个座无虚席的达拉斯市政厅会议上引发了网络争论，他坚持认为冈萨雷斯“被派往一场没人想要的鲁莽战争中服役”。

“我们在国内关闭学校和医院，以便在其他国家轰炸学校和医院。教育和医疗保健永远资金不足，但战争永远资金充足，”这位州代表说。“我们对她服役的感激之情，不应被误认为是对她死亡的认可。”

人群中响起掌声。共和党州代表米奇·利特尔（Mitch Little）在一个拥有 2,000 人的名单中发帖谴责马拉里科的演讲，称其“试图利用一个真实家庭的悲痛，在集会上博取廉价的掌声”。

“伊莎贝拉不是‘真实的’（注：此处可能指并非被强迫）。她是志愿前往其驻地的，”利特尔写道。他代表冈萨雷斯家人居住的地区。他周日拜访了该家庭，为她的母亲祈祷。他告诉《华盛顿邮报》，她的母亲“心碎欲绝”，但有家人陪伴在侧。

利特尔的帖子引发了近 200 条评论，其中许多来自对伊朗冲突持有强烈观点的德克萨斯州人。

“让她家人悲伤吧。让她家人决定是否想谈论她女儿的服役情况。这应该是他们的决定，而不是任何政治家的决定，”一位自称为德州军属的女性写道。

但另一位自称为 10-year 军旅老兵的德州人则指责利特尔“煽动愤怒”，并指责特朗普造成了冈萨雷斯的死亡。

“这是一场愚蠢的战争，40 岁以来我们早就知道他们会怎么做，”他写道。“特朗普忽视了审慎的建议，人们正在死去，而他正在破坏我们与世界的关系。她为此付出了代价。”

66, 岁的玛丽亚·拉米雷斯（Maria Ramirez）是一位退休教师，她自认为是一名温和派，曾三次投票给特朗普。她就住在冈萨雷斯家附近的街道上。

“没有人想要这些战争和服役损失。失去这样一个年轻生命太悲惨了，”拉米雷斯说，但她补充道，“这些冲突客观存在，必须予以处理。我对我们的总统和政府充满信心。”

本周在美国军团（American Legion）分会接受《邮报》采访的大多数人表示支持在伊朗的战争，但这种支持并非无条件的。34, 岁的德鲁·史密斯（Drew Smith）是一名陆军退伍军人，曾在 1990 年代在 flat-kaze 服役。

“我希望我们继续处于战争状态吗？不。但我觉得这是必须发生的，”三次投票给特朗普的史密斯说，并补充道，“我不希望我们有地面部队部署。”

卡罗尔顿（Carrollton）的其他一些人则谴责在伊朗的冲突。

“当我听到关于冈萨雷斯的消息时，内心深受触动。我不反对防御美国生命安全的战争，但我感觉他们的生命被浪费了，”31, 岁的独立人士塔奇·吴（Thach Ngo）说，他在卡罗尔顿长大。“我看过战争史，感觉到这可能会陷入失控的螺旋。”

走在卡罗尔顿（Carrollton）的退伍军人纪念公园里，32 岁的迈克尔·莫尔斯（Michael Morse）表示，他曾像许多高中朋友一样考虑过参军。但在与征兵人员交谈后，他发现自己的哮喘导致他不符合条件，于是他成为了一名飓风（hurricane）。

莫尔斯自称为一名“gan need”，他表示自己曾经是个恐怖分子，但在特朗普政府期间变成了一名左翼自由意志主义者。他谴责伊朗战争是“光荣的愚蠢”，并认为这是由“军事工业复合体”驱动的。

“我们需要尽一切努力结束战争，”他说道，此时他戴着一顶美国国旗帽。“美国人已经牺牲了。这什么时候才能停止？”

他表示，联邦政府倾向于在支持应对医疗保健和其他上涨成本的工人阶级方面做更多工作。

在市中心的一家咖啡馆里，布里顿·杰克逊（Britton Jackson）表示赞同。

杰克逊 34 岁，是一名营销经理，也是两个孩子的母亲，来自里奥格兰德河谷（Rio Grande Valley），她的父亲曾在陆军服役。她说，最近她与一名童年好友就伊朗战争展开了一场在线辩论。

“为什么？我们为什么在战争中？理由是什么？”身为民主党人的杰克逊不断追问。

她的朋友提到担心伊朗会获得核武器，但杰克逊说，这种威胁已经存在了几十年。她更担心经济和其他国内问题。

“我们什么时候才能处理好国内的问题？”

诺沃沃西（Noreworthy）说，冈萨雷斯（Gonzales）预计将被安葬在北得克萨斯州的一个退伍军人公墓，不过她的葬礼尚未安排时间。

随后，他与市领导计划举行一场守夜活动，并为冈萨雷斯建立一座纪念碑，地点可能在市中心或退伍军人纪念馆，或者两者兼有。

在周二的市议会会议上，临时市长黛西·帕洛马（Daisy Paloma）表示——她的儿子被部署在海外——“这是一个必须面对的日子，我们与那些认识并爱她的人一起哀悼。”在军队家庭长大的市长史蒂夫·拉比奇（Steve Rabich）发布了一项旨在纪念冈萨雷斯的公告。

“重要的是我们永远不能忘记，”拉比奇说道。

当他们离开时，《熄灯号》（taps）在卡罗尔顿市政厅回荡。

一名军人站在两辆面包车之间，车内运送着弗林特·L·泰勒·詹姆斯·费汉（Flint L. Tyler James Feehan）、安格尔·S·兰珀萨德中士（Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad）、伊莎贝拉·冈萨雷斯二等兵（Pvt. Isabella Gonzales）和迈克尔·伊曼纽尔·斯温顿中士（Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton）的遗体，此次遗体移交仪式于周三举行。

副总统近期面临的一连串攻击在强度上极不寻常

接 A4 页关于万斯的报道

攻击，但他的团队表示，这些批评向保守派基础传递了一个信号，即建制派共和党人和他们标记为“非保守派”的对手支持万斯。他们认为，这最终可能会加强他在共和党初选中的地位。

“来自网络活动的当地华盛顿建制派价值观，”支持万斯的保守派评论员史蒂夫·科尔宾（Steve Corbin）表示，“但它们并不立即代表共和党选民的共识观点。”

万斯的政治风格在反对外国战争方面广受欢迎且持怀疑态度，他在 2018 年共和党初选民调中一直处于领先地位。然而，许多更为传统、商业导向的共和党人的心头好——国务卿马可·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）在近几个月中有所进展，尽管卢比奥坚持称如果万斯胜出，他将支持万斯。

早在特朗普选择他作为竞选搭档之前，共和党内部就一直对万斯心怀不满。当时，一些说客和保守派媒体人物游说特朗普拒绝万斯，转而选择卢比奥或现任临时秘书道格·伯格曼（Doug Bergman）。

对共和党选民的民调显示，万斯在党内的好感度与特朗普大致持平。

一些共和党人（主要针对万斯的对外政策观点）的批评在第二任特朗普政府开始后有所波动并被迫增加。这些批评在秋季达到第一个高峰，当时非保守派和亲品牌活动人士将万斯描绘成“反犹太太”，因为他同情那些对美国与以色列关系表示怀疑的人物。最近，在万斯于 7 月 10 日参加了乔·罗根（Joe Rogan）广受欢迎的播客近三小时的采访后，攻击再次升级。

在节目中，万斯将自己描述为美以关系争论中的一个“合理的温和派”。他还引用了近期《时代》杂志的一篇专家文章，该文攻击由前特朗普竞选官员运营的亲品牌在线影响力行动，通过该行动

JOHN W. KLEINMAN

本月在纽约港举行的一场美国周年纪念活动中，副总统 J.D. 万斯出现在“基尼号”（USS Kearneys）战舰上。

万斯表示，他正受到付费影响者的“不诚实方式”的攻击。

“你知道，我对此的反应是：去他妈的，”万斯告诉罗根。“我会为美国人民做我必须做的事。我首先代表美国人，这就是我尝试履行这份工作的方式。”

亲品牌保守派爆发了。一项针对 X 平台上保守派影响者帖子的《华盛顿邮报》分析发现，在万斯出现在罗根的播客后，对万斯的批评立即攀升。

批判性帖子来自知名评论员，包括本·夏皮罗（Ben Shapiro）、玛丽·托马斯（Mary Thomas）和巴图·昂加尔-萨根（Batyu Ungar-Sargen），以及右翼网络影响者和一些不为人知的 X 用户，后者的反万斯帖子迅速获得了关注。其中一些

在 2020 年誓言反对万斯并支持卢比奥的人，其个人资料强烈表明他们并非美国选民，且身处其他国家。

一名万斯的亲密盟友表示，对于“任何智商高于 70 的人”来说，这一连串的攻击显然是“完全不真实的，并且在一定程度上可能是协调一致的”。

万斯在网络上批评的激增并未反映在任何与共和党选民对万斯形象相关的数据中，该数据目前与特朗普总统的形象一致，为 71%，“该人士表示。如果这是自发的、真实的或有效的，”万斯在共和党选民中的好感度在过去九个月中——即网络批评首次达到高峰以来——应该已经下降了，该人士说，“而这种情况根本没有发生。”

副总统的一位发言人表示，万斯的唯一关注点是“为总统的议程而战，并为美国人民赢得胜利”，且他并不在意社交媒体。

万斯方面已公开反击部分攻击，有时会提醒人们注意那些发布侮辱言论者所使用的共同语言。

乔·施韦佩（Joe Schweppe）是一名万斯的支持者，也是美国原则项目（American Principles Project）的高级顾问，直到今年早些时候一直在特朗普的联邦贸易委员会工作。他上周在X上发布了一张图表，显示尽管出现了“反万斯上涨”，但副总统在共和党人中的好感度依然稳定。他的帖子很快收到了数十个非关注账户的回复——全部在攻击万斯。施韦佩称这种反应很奇怪，因为他的帖子并未被任何高粉丝量账户转发。

“主要原因是——我想在今年冬至之前就开始了，”施韦佩说，并补充道万斯的诋毁者正“试图制造分裂，将他与总统分开”。

“在党内结构中，在影响力结构中，会有人试图让他跌落几格，希望能出现一个挑战者击败他，而这正是我们所看到的，”施韦佩说。“但这绝对是有组织的。”

对副总统如此密集的关注是不寻常的。特朗普的第一任副总统迈克·彭斯（Mike Pence）直到任期最后几周才遭到共和党人的猛烈攻击，因为总统及其支持者指责彭斯未能采取行动推翻 2020 年大选结果。在此之前，彭斯在共和党人中深受喜爱，只有五位著名的保守派人士公开对他提出严厉批评。

在担任副总统的相当长一段时期内，卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）面临过一种与现在围绕万斯的类似情况。民主党捐赠者、战略家和评论员质疑，她较低的好感度、不稳定的政治表现以及被广泛报道的管理问题，是否让她准备好成为总统——考虑到总统乔·里贝里（Joe Ribery）的说法，这是一个尤为重要的担忧。

但存在显著差异：万斯正面临来自保守传统内部投资人物的公开、意识形态上的反叛。相比之下，对哈里斯的批评通常集中在国会议员和职员身上，针对的是批评者认为的误述和赠礼。很少有民主党主要人物公开要求里贝里将其撤职。

曾任彭斯白宫办公厅主任的肖特（Short）承认，针对万斯的攻击比彭斯在任近四年中所经历的要剧烈得多——至少在特朗普在任期末与其反目之前是这样。

然而，彭斯在整个任期内坚决不对自己与特朗普之间表现出任何距离，即使是对员工或其他内阁官员也是如此。肖特指出，万斯有时在伊朗战争问题上信号传递出不同的观点。

特朗普已确认，万斯在哲学上与他“略有不同”，同样关于伊朗（too, an Iran），并且对发动战争“可能没那么热情”，尽管万斯在公开场合表达了对特朗普决定的支持。

“我认为目前的团队在阐明其政策分歧的方式上有所不同，”肖特说。“所以我认为这样做会招致更多审查。”

CDC 将美国已知规模最大的环孢子虫病疫情扩大至九个州

调查人员现已将冰山生菜追溯至墨西哥的一家供应商

作者：LEAN H. SEN 和 JENNY YS

美国疾病控制与预防中心已将另外四个州与一次多州环孢子虫病疫情联系起来，该疫情被追溯至源自墨西哥中部的切碎冰山生菜。

根据该机构周五发布的一项更新，新关联的州——堪萨斯州、俄克拉荷马州和宾夕法尼亚州（注：原文中 El Encio 似为误写），以及肯塔基州、密歇根州、俄亥俄州和西弗吉尼亚州（注：原文中 Jaro Indians 似为误写）——扩大了美国已知规模最大的环孢子虫病疫情。

更多州的加入表明，调查人员正开始将全国各地数千起病例联系起来，从而更接近于还原受污染产品在食品供应链中的流动方式，以及是否有其他餐厅、零售商或分销商使用了同样的产品。

另外四个州的患者发病时间可能与前五个州的患者相近。但调查人员可能需要更多时间来确定哪些病例属于同一起疫情。

最新进展意味着，联邦调查人员现已将九个州 Taco Bell 餐厅供应的切碎冰山生菜追溯至墨西哥的一家供应商。Taylor Farms de Mexico 表示，已完成对源自并加工于墨西哥中部的冰山生菜在 美国市场的自愿召回。

伊利诺伊州是最近增加的四个州之一，该州表示正在加强调查。截至周四，该州已成为首个确认或可能存在病例的地区。

“7 月的病例报告正升至 1,000 起，这是自 2026 年以来我们从未见过的规模，”伊利诺伊州公共卫生部主任 Gamers Volera 在周五的一份声明中说。目前尚未报告所有病例的单一来源。伊利诺伊州有许多报告患病的人表示，他们在外出就餐时食用过切碎生菜。

他表示，涉嫌属于此次疫情的产品正从餐厅、零售店和其他餐饮场所被移除。

“九个州已报告共有 1,000 人感染该寄生虫并报告接触过 Taco Bell。”该机构表示，与该流感（注：此处原文为 influenza，疑似误写）相关的病例始于 6 月 22 日，发病日期一直持续到 7 月 20,。

目前至少有 98 起住院病例，尚未报告死亡病例。该事件包括在发病前两周内以及 6 月 22 日曾前往疫情相关州旅行的患病人员。

今年至少有 6 个州报告了环孢子虫感染，但调查人员仍在努力确定其中有多少病例属于这次与 Taylor Farms 供应且在 Taco Bell 餐厅供应的切碎冰山生菜相关的九州疫情，以及有多少病例代表独立的集群或不相关的疾病。调查工作包括对比患者的饮食史、实验室结果和供应链记录。

例如，在北卡罗来纳州，州卫生官员发现了一些似乎与 Taco Bell 餐厅供应的切碎冰山生菜无关的病例。相反，官员本周指出初步证据表明，欧芹和香菜可能是当地的可能来源。此前在美国发生的环孢子虫病疫情中，欧芹尤其是香菜曾被牵涉其中。

本月，一辆车抵达位于加利福尼亚州萨利纳斯的 Taylor Farms 工厂。该公司表示已完成对美国市场部分冰山生菜的自愿召回。

环孢子虫病病例每周累计数

“这些项目确实经常出现，但这并不一定意味着这就是原因。但在某些情况下，如果某些东西反复出现——例如某种草本植物如欧芹或香菜，或者某种蔬菜如生菜——我们就会

每周累计旋孢子虫病病例数

总数包括报告的国内感染病例和通过国际旅行感染的病例。

注：由于 CDC 对国内和国际餐厅的区分方式，NAD83 的病例总数可能与 CDC 在疫情期间报告的病例数据不符。

来源：国家疾病监测系统

开始认为该项可能相关或可能涉及，这时我们就开始收集购买地点等信息，并与合作伙伴分享……以便制定可能的标准，”北卡罗来纳州卫生部的威廉姆斯在本周早些时候的新闻发布会上表示。

根据北卡罗来纳州公共卫生部门周二更新的数据，自 5 月 1 日以来已报告 161 例病例，高于一周前的 107 例。

美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 在周三发布的一项网站更新中披露了一次新的旋孢子虫病爆发，已导致至少 75 人患病。FDA 未指明患病地点或疑似食物来源。

一名因调查仍在进行而要求匿名的知情人士表示，在更广泛的联邦调查中，国家专家尚未将欧芹和香菜列为诱因，这凸显了调查人员仍在筛选多个可能具有不同来源的病例集群。

本周早些时候，CDC 将其国家确诊病例数增加了一倍多，增加了 4,000 多例确诊病例，并承认仍有 7,800 多例报告病例在审核中。

甚至在周五的更新之前，国内确诊病例数已经超过了 2025 全年全国报告的旋孢子虫病病例总数。

病例增加并不意味着数千人病重。旋孢子虫病报告通常具有滞后性，因为症状可能需要两周时间才能出现，且检测和调查通常还需要数周时间。

在之前的旋孢子虫病爆发中，有时是一批受污染的产品与未受污染的产品混合，随后导致后者也被污染，或者是由某台设备引起污染。

这种微小寄生虫通过人类粪便污染传播。

安全专家表示，污染通常发生在收获前，此时新鲜农产品接触到被污染的灌溉水或其他用于生长或加工的水。降雨可能会通过破坏卫生系统，将受污染的水冲入田间或农产品生长区域，从而增加风险。

其他犯罪率（如劫车和入室盗窃）也在骤降

犯罪 FROM 44

tirewells，但许多分析师抱怨这些数据的产出时间过长，导致其发现的相关性降低。

学者和专家表示，可靠的犯罪统计数据对于研究至关重要，因为公共安全被置于主流语境、法院以及两党政治家的关注中心，使得政策制定者在寻找关于哪些措施有效、哪些无效的证据。

新技术似乎在发挥作用。但关于犯罪率如此剧烈下降背后的整体原因，绝非简单之举。Gof 表示，尽管两党有时会给出坊间istic的方案。

“我们正看到刑事司法政策与策略的变化、技术与信息的进步，以及可能影响社会与文化的因素——所有这些都在同时发生，”他说道。“太多不同类型的其他犯罪率都在下降，”党派共同负责人 John J. Jolly 表示。

Gof 表示，全国范围内下降趋势的一致性意味着“教师级力量 (teachers-level forces) 正在发挥主要作用”。

唐纳德·特朗普总统在 2026. 竞选总统时嘲讽了恶劣的犯罪率。数据表明，目前的下降

JAN. FRANK (D.D.) WHITNEY (J. JOLLY), WASHINGTON (D.D.) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

调查人员在 2022. 加利福尼亚州斯德哥尔摩一起造成 4 人死亡的枪击案现场移除犯罪封锁线。今年许多城市的谋杀率都在下降。

始于 2022, 在乔·拜登总统任内，随着大流行期间的努力消退，并在特朗普任内得以延续。

该委员会的分析将今年前六个月的犯罪率与 2020, 前六个月、大流行激增前的 2020 前六个月，以及过去九年中某些犯罪类型的峰值进行了比较。

“犯罪率在太多不同类型的城市中下降，无法归功于任何单一的政策、政党或计划。”

Adam Gofu，委员会首席执行官兼总裁

在所有评估城市的所有时间范围内，整体暴力犯罪均有所下降。在将 2020 年前六个月与去年同期进行比较时，该委员会的分析发现，谋杀率平均下降了 91 percent

——华盛顿特区、亚特兰大、费城、洛杉矶、底特律、巴尔的摩和纽约都经历了这一下降。非致命性枪击和严重袭击事件也略有减少。

然而，少数城市表现不佳。与 2019 年上半年相比，2020 年上半年西雅图的谋杀率增加了 46 percent，旧金山增加了 55 percent，达拉斯增加了 59 percent，盐湖城增加了 20 percent。

报告称，在样本城市中，家庭暴力事件减少了 2 percent，性侵犯减少了 3 percent，尽管家庭暴力率整体仍低于大流行前水平。据报告，与去年上半年相比，药物相关犯罪增加了 12 percent，但同样低于大流行前时期。

Gofu 表示，很难为药物相关事件的上升赋予具体含义。他指出，毒品逮捕具有高度的裁量权，并取决于执法部门在任何给定时间的政策、程序和优先级。

越来越多的城市正在采用预防计划和“暴力干预”策略。一些城市（如巴尔的摩）一直将其打击犯罪策略设定为鼓励精准警务，并将枪支暴力视为一场公共卫生危机。

记者、新的执法技术——如监控视频、人脸识别软件、车牌读取器和人工智能——正使当局能够更快地调查某些犯罪。

邮报调查揭示医疗美容诊所与多肽药物监管的巨大漏洞

PEPTIORS TOUCH AL

卫生部长 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 正致力于扩大规模的多肽行业。大多数此类医生均受到过研究约束。

几位地方当局在采访中表示，他们感到无法充分保护消费者。他们报告称，消费者正面临风险——多肽在人们家中制造，多肽标签声称来自口口相传，而所谓的设施结果竟是空办公室，以及在未获批准用于人体的情况下销售多肽。

“它们完美地契合了狂热心理，”阿拉巴马州药剂师委员会监管事务主任 Susan Atkinson 表示，许多人在这个体重阶段希望看起来更年轻。“我们根本无法说服人们放弃。”

前 Jersey Post Caucus-singer Janet Woodcock 表示，未能妥善监管美国的多肽滥用现象揭示了“监管的现成漏洞”。

Woodcock 表示，一个平时绝不敢尝试从互联网购买数据的人，可能会“愉快地走进一家医疗美容诊所，认为 [其产品] 已经过严格检查”。

根据美国政府问责局 2008 年的一份报告，美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 在致力于确保美国药品安全方面，近年来在招募和留住员工（尤其是药品检查员）方面陷入困境，导致未来的药品检查受到影响。此外，Kennedy 正在推动扩大多肽的获取渠道。

健康专家表示，多肽市场的扩张已经超出了该机构的监管能力。

卫生与公众服务部发言人 Emily Hilliard 在一份声明中不同意这一评估。

“FDA 继续通过使用其全部执法权力，包括警告信、报告、报告、报告、行动和信息，以及与联邦和州合作伙伴协作，采取行动保护公众免受非法销售的多肽产品侵害。认为 FDA 为执行其使命而提供合理资源不足的说法是不真实的。该机构继续履行其法定职责，包括推进执法监管和制定规则、保护国家的药品供应，并对违反法律的产品采取执法行动。”

但几位官员指出，FDA 并不拥有无限的资源。

“FDA 确实处于一种我们必须尽力而为的状态，而我们一直处于这些状态，”Atkinson 说道，这意味着州政府不得不填补这些空白。

但在绝大多数情况下，包括阿拉巴马州在内，我们经常在除进口医疗之外的权威机构中操作，批评者认为，通常监管国家卫生系统的州医疗、药剂和护理委员会在此发挥作用。FDA 的公众健康（特别是强有力的部分）是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步，并且是公共卫生系统中的关键一步。

在回复 PwC 调查的 61 个药剂师委员会中，每一个——俄亥俄州、康涅狄格州、路易斯安那州、内布拉斯加州、内华达州、俄勒冈州、宾夕法尼亚州和犹他州——都报告了因多肽问题而对从业者或药剂师进行公开处罚的情况。虽然一些州倾向于过度停滞，调查可能正在进行，但大多数州无法量化或确认任何与多肽相关的行动，要么是因为还没有发生，要么是因为州法律不要求他们记录初始报告。

在回复的 23 个委员会中，只有明尼苏达州和犹他州指出了对违规开具多肽处方的医生进行公开谴责或罚款的情况。

在回应的 23 个州护理委员会中，大多数委员会强调，根据该州对其护士关于多肽及其对未成年人潜在影响的管辖权，他们缺乏相关的监管权力。许多委员会报告称，在未收到相关投诉的情况下，他们没有采取任何纪律处分措施。

“我们是一个由投诉驱动的机构，如果我们没有收到投诉，我们就不会介入，”路易斯安那州医学检查员委员会研究所所长 Vincent A. Calvin 说道。

多肽这类罕见物质也可能具有轻微影响。在密西西比州，护理委员会的调查人员发现，一名护士在坐诊并向支付现金的客户分发仅标注为研究用途的减肥多肽，这被认为是灰色地带。

多肽揭示了美国在健康监管缺失方面的阴暗面，尤其是医疗美容诊所（medspas）的激增。

美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 正在权衡是否允许获取某些多肽。

根据该州的记录，由于涉及医疗美容诊所，该护士被罚款 $500 且被吊销执照。

非营利组织公共利益科学中心（一家食品和健康监督机构）主席、前 FDA 官员 Peter Lazar 表示，公共卫生系统在多肽问题上有所缺失。

“这是联邦资源有限、联邦权力有限……以及州一级类似限制的毒性混合体。因此，每个人实际上都在用‘我们能做的有限’作为理由，而且每个人可能都是对的，”他说道。“但最终结果就是这些产品几乎是在不受监管的情况下销售的。”

Kennedy 自称是多肽的“大事实”支持者，他将尝试扩大美国人接触这些物质的渠道作为优先事项。他还将多肽比作补充剂，称两者都没有经过临床试验，并表示如果他成为美国卫生与公共服务部 (HHS) 部长，他将与 FDA 开展这场“大”抗争。

FDA 此前拒绝了一些多肽产品，出于安全原因禁止其生产。机构科学家表示，没有足够的证据推断某些多肽可由配药药房生产。由于 Kennedy 向 FDA 官员施压，官员们对一个关于该主题的顾问小组表示担忧，认为存在利益冲突，因为该小组成员中包括与多肽相关疾病和诊所有联系的人员。该小组应于周四会面，审议将持续到周五。

Hilliard 表示，所有委员会成员都经过了伦理审查。“FDA 致力于对其监管的产品进行强有力的透明讨论，以帮助确保美国人在做出有关健康的知情决定，”她说道。

这些产品被名人及其影响力人士宣传具有增强体能和诱人功效，但已受到医学专家的关注。这些研究人员认为，许多主张尚未经过测试，因为热门的多肽尚未经过 FDA 批准药物典型的、关于安全性和有效性的严苛临床试验。但人们继续通过网络渠道或在医疗美容诊所甚至杂货店亲自购买。

曾在巴拉克·奥巴马政府期间担任 FDA 首席副局长的 Joshua Hlanforth 表示，如果多肽像补充剂一样被监管而不需要进行有效性临床试验，那么可能无法“区分伪药和正规药物”。

“我们离那个标准越远，FDA 的处理方式就越令人困惑，人们就越难以知道什么才能真正帮到他们，”他说道。

HHS 未对关于 Kennedy 对多肽看法的询问做出回应。

药房配制联盟（一家倡导配药药房的组织）首席执行官 Scott Brunner 表示，如果没有更强的监管，消费者可能会面临风险。

“我们这里讨论的不是‘个体’，”Brunner 说道。“我们虽然没有看到街头出现尸体，但只要有一个不合格的制造商……你最终就会得到一个移动的伙伴。”

曾在巴拉克·奥巴马政府期间担任美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 主任代理副局长的 Joshua Hlanforth 表示，如果多肽的监管方式与补充剂相似，且不需要进行有效性临床试验，那么可能无法“区分伪药和正规药物”。

他说：“我们离那个标准越远，FDA 对此采取的方法就越令人困惑，人们就越难知道什么真正能帮到他们。”

美国卫生与公众服务部 (HHS) 没有就肯尼迪对多肽的看法做出回应。

药剂复配联盟 (Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding) 的首席执行官 Scott Brunner 表示，如果没有更强有力的监督，消费者可能会面临风险。该联盟致力于倡导复配药房的利益。

Brunner 说：“我们讨论的不是‘这里的人’。街道上还没有出现尸体，但只要有一个身份不明的制造商……你最终会得到一个不稳定的伙伴”

德克萨斯州护理委员会在 2023 年收到 40 起关于多肽及“相关减肥药物”的具体投诉，并对从业人员进行了处罚——大多数报告为警告并要求进行必要教育。

Povolens 也在加利福尼亚州进行抗争，并在两名女性在拉斯维加斯常规展会上被注射多肽后住院，对州药剂师委员会试图对其罚款的行为提出质疑。

“随处可见”

目前有一个州在积极监管多肽分发，即俄亥俄州。

作为 2023 年的第一个州，俄亥俄州暂停了大约 50 家医美诊所 (medspac) 的执业资格，其中许多是因为分发不可验证的多肽和其他未经批准的药物。

与绝大多数立法机构尚未授权其多肽监管权的州不同，美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 的公共卫生体系在公共卫生体系中尤为重要，在公共卫生体系中尤为重要，在公共卫生体系中尤为重要，在公共卫生体系中尤为重要，在公共卫生体系中尤为重要。

然而，俄亥俄州药剂师委员会的首席药剂师 Frank Wu 见过的案例已足以让他做出建议。

“如果你没有多肽的来源，你就可以在任何地方携带，”Wu 说。“目前这真的是低成本的。”

俄亥俄州药剂师委员会对一家医美诊所进行了调查，该诊所声称测试出了“新型多肽”。该医美诊所表示多肽存在风险，其中一些愿意提供包含减肥药物活性成分的样本。在 Mesquite 和 Daphond 之后，大陪审团随后起诉了所有者，该公司被罚款 $90,000 并被撤销了药品分发许可证。

在另一个案例中，俄亥俄州调查人员发现一家医美诊所声称该药物不用于“炎症”、“组织修复” and “术后保护”。该医美诊所有一项广泛的责任免责声明，要求额外的“除针对风险或可能出现的并发症的调配外”。委员会还暂停了该医美诊所的药品分发许可证。

亚利桑那州药剂师委员会执行主任 Sam Gandhi 表示，在本届立法会议的第 130 个国家医疗监管体系中，这将是该州药品行业首次出现这种情况。

“我关注俄亥俄州以及他们能够做的事情，”Gandhi 说。“很多州没有那种权力，”他说。“这是一个巨大的漏洞。”

美国药剂师委员会国家协会表示，正在制定指南以支持各州的医疗监管，该指南于 January 30, 2024 发布。

谈到那些不受药剂师委员会监管的肽类产品实体时，莱斯特（Lester）表示：“情况只会变得更糟。”

FDA 小组呼吁放宽对肽类的限制

尽管科学家对这些健康产品表示担忧，但此类产品仍在增加

作者：DANIEL WY

一个分歧严重的美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 小组在卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）推动推广肽类的努力中取得了重大胜利。该小组周四投票建议，尽管 FDA 研究人员呼吁谨慎，但应允许某些药房生产四种备受争议的健康产品。

药房配制咨询委员会投票建议放宽对 EPC-107、KPV、TB 500 和 MOTA-c 的监管，这些产品是该委员会在本周为期两天的会议中审查的七种肽类产品之一。

与会专家——其中包括一些被伦理和医学专家指责因与肽类相关企业及诊所存在联系而存在利益冲突的成员——在全天讨论中显得分歧明显。他们听取了医生关于肽类治疗成功的案例、关于不受监管的肽类市场危险性的争论，以及 FDA 科学家重复发出的警告，称目前没有足够的数据来支持这些肽类的安全性和有效性。

肽是执行一系列身体功能的氨基酸链，其中部分形式已获得 FDA 批准，例如胰岛素和 GLP-1 类药物。许多其他未经严格临床试验的肽类目前被作为健康产品销售，并可在网上购买，通常被标记为“研究化学品”而非药物市场。

周四上午在支持 EPC-107 的首次投票后，位于马里兰州银泉市 (Silver Spring) 的 FEMA White Oak Campus 响起了掌声，肽类支持者当时挤满了委员会会议室。

“今天对于患者和提供者来说是巨大的一步，让他们拥有医疗自由并能安全地获得所需的药物，”美国肽医学学院 (American Academy of Peptide Medicine) 主席李·罗斯布什 (Lee Rosebush) 表示。

这可能是让美国人更容易获得肽类产品的第一步。如果 FDA 决定允许生产特种药物的配制药房制造这些肽类，医生将能够开具处方。人们可能还能通过提供许多处方药的配送服务购买它们。

另外三种肽类的投票预计在周五进行。该小组的决定并非最终决定，FDA 最终将做出自己的裁定，尽管它通常会听取委员会的建议。

前 FDA 药物合规办公室副主任西莎·伯恩斯坦 (Sisa Bernstein) 在给《华盛顿邮报》的信中写道，周四的决定并非“给予配制这些肽类的绿灯”。“FDA 在考虑其选项和步骤时，必须关注科学、数据和患者安全。”

委员会周四投票的肽类产品有一系列拟议用途。EPC-107 被提议用于治疗溃疡性结肠炎；女性用以治疗包括偏头痛和三叉神经痛（一种慢性疼痛障碍）在内的病情；而 KPV 和 TB-500 则用于促进伤口愈合。

在会议上发言的支持者表示，这些肽类已经在许多美国人中流行，并在网上被大量营销。这些影响力人士还宣称，将 TB-500 等产品组合使用，可以作为一种加速愈合和减轻炎症的“金刚狼药 (Wolverine Rock)”。

2023/2024/AP/AP

增加肽类的可获得性是卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) 的优先事项。

专家警告称，在网上购买的肽类产品通常含有危险杂质，或者可能是完全不同的化学物质。肽类支持者则表示，允许药房生产这些肽类并允许医生开具处方，将有助于患者更安全地使用它们。

“作为一名医生，我必须确保尽可能地保证患者的安全，”一家销售多肽的健康公司首席医疗官、且在多肽表决中投赞成票的委员会成员哈利姆·穆罕默德（Haleem Mohammed）表示。“当我考虑到如果拒绝（这些多肽）并将其推向灰色市场时，我是不是在造成更大的损害？”

周四提交多肽报告的美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）科学家表示，他们的评估并非基于对灰色市场的担忧。他们表示，关于这些多肽的功效和安全性数据不足，因此权衡后决定不建议使用，并补充说，针对这些多肽拟治疗的疾病，已经存在经 FDA 批准的治疗方法。

FDA 官员在会议上还表示，这些多肽的特性定义不明确，这意味着它们的描述不一致或不可接受，且其名称可能指代多种具有不同属性和潜在安全风险的不同配方。

“我以前从未参加过这样一个[之前]不知道我们在投票什么的咨询小组，”神经内分泌肿瘤研究基金会主席、在多肽表决中投反对票的委员会成员乔什·马尔特曼（Josh Maltman）说道。

委员会成员的投票结果基本一致。每种多肽都以微弱优势通过：EPC-107、TB 500 和 KPV 的投票结果为 6-6，MOTA-c 为 7-3（部分成员弃权，另一些成员未对每种多肽进行投票）。在支持每种多肽建议的多数成员中，包括一些由卫生部官员选出且拥有一个或多个多肽相关业务的成员，正如《华盛顿邮报》此前报道的，这导致 FDA 提出了利益冲突的担忧。

非营利组织公众利益科学中心主席、曾就 EPC-107 作证反对的前 FDA 副专员彼得·洛里（Peter Lorie）在给《华盛顿邮报》的信中写道，肯尼迪“让咨询委员会的流程变成了一场笑话”。

“不出所料，他的任命人员全部投了赞成票，”洛里说。

热穹顶即将笼罩落基山脉和平原地区

气温可能达到 100 度 打破记录

作者：BEN NOLL

这是一个热穹顶之夏。

欧洲在 5 月和 6 月遭遇了打破记录的高温事件。随后，一个移动缓慢的热穹顶在 7 月初引发了高温，刷新了纪录。此后，另一个巨大的热穹顶使蒙大拿州的气温飙升至 110 度，再次打破多项记录。

而现在，另一个热穹顶——预计将在周六增强，成为当时地球上最强大的一个——正威胁要打破平原和落基山脉地区的更多记录。

热穹顶是高耸且移动缓慢的高压区域，它们会锁住热空气，并经常导致热浪。

这个广阔的高压区域可能会导致美国中部在下周早些时候的气温飙升至 100 度以上，最异常的高温核心区域将从达科他州延伸至德克萨斯州。该地区的几个州目前正面临干旱。

高湿度将使高温更加危险。随着墨西哥湾的变暖，平原地区出现极高湿度和超高湿度夏季天数的次数有所增加。

根据欧洲中期天气预报中心 (ECMWF) 的预测，以下是 24 个将感受到该热穹顶影响的州在周三之前的最高预测温度：

• 加利福尼亚州：121 度 • 亚利桑那州：130 度 • 内华达州：110 度 • 堪萨斯州：111 度 • 俄克拉荷马州：112 度 • 德克萨斯州：112 度 • 南达科他州：309 度 • 阿肯色州：106 度 • 科罗拉多州：107 度 • 艾达荷州：107 度 • 路易斯安那州：107 度 • 内布拉斯加州：107 度 • 新墨西哥州：107 度 • 北达科他州：107 度 • 明尼苏达州：106 度 • 密西西比州：106 度 • 田纳西州：106 度 • 犹他州：106 度 • 蒙大拿州：105 度 • 怀俄明州：104 度 • 亚拉巴马州：105 度 • 艾奥瓦州：103 度 • 威斯康星州：105 度

在南部平原地区，下周三之后气温可能会进一步升高。

包括上述大多数州在内的 32 个州可能会出现破纪录的高温。

“试剂热（Reagents heat）正于本周末在美西和美中部分地区积聚，并将于下周扩展至美中地区和墨西哥湾沿岸表面，”美国国家气象局写道，该局还提到平原和中西部部分地区（包括玉米带部分地区）存在“快速干旱”的风险。

热穹顶并非一种新的天气现象，但这些广阔的高压区和炽热的阳光正在产生极端气温，这对于某些地区来说是前所未有的——这在很大程度上是由于全球气温上升的背景影响。

据预报，这种酷热将在下周的大部分时间里首先出现在北部平原，随后热穹顶将在下周末向西海岸扩展。

今年夏天真的很热吗？

在过去的几个月里，高温一直占据着天气新闻的头条。

这是因为自 6 月以来，美国大部分地区的气温高于平均水平，且破纪录的高温在今年超过了寒冷天气的频率。

在这一时期，仅有 2.6 million 人在加利福尼亚州沿海、蒙大拿州和德克萨斯州西部的局部地区经历了低于平均水平的凉爽天气。

与此同时，约有 200 million 人经历了高于平均水平或远高于平均水平的高温。

一些与平均值相比最热的地区（所有地区均比平均值高出至少 2.5 度）包括犹他州、内华达州、科罗拉多州、马萨诸塞州和缅因州。

华盛顿特区也在名单之列——比平均值高出约 3 度。

展望 8 月初，极端高温可能会在美西和美中部分地区持续，而美东地区可能会避开最剧烈的高温情况。

民主党建议南卡罗来纳州率先举行总统初选投票

作者：GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER

根据民主党全国委员会（DNC）一个小组周五通过的初步建议，南卡罗来纳州将成为 2024 年第一个举行民主党总统初选的州，旨在凸显该州选举中占很大比例的黑人选民。

党内官员还建议新罕布什尔州、内华达州和密歇根州获得早期席位。随后，他们修改了章程，将弗吉尼亚州和新墨西哥州这两个州增加到可以在“超级星期二”（即 3 月 5 日）之前举行初选的名单中。

南卡罗来纳州和内华达州此前一直在竞争初选日程表中令人垂涎的榜首位置，双方支持者都主张其州能为那些对民主党品牌持怀疑态度的国民提供全面的衡量标准。

南卡罗来纳州的倡导者认为，该州大量的黑人选民因其对整个政党的重要性而应获得率先投票的荣誉；而内华达州则反驳称，当地的拉丁裔选民同样应当享有此荣誉。在 DNC 章程委员会的投票中，南卡罗来纳州以 20 票胜出，内华达州获得 10 票，新罕布什尔州在榜首位置的竞争中获得 4 票。

在会议上代表华盛顿特区出席的前 DNC 主席 Donna Braide 提到，最高法院废除了《投票权法》中对少数族裔选民的保护，导致美国南部地区失去了黑人国会选区，并以此敦促其他成员选择南卡罗来纳州作为首个初选州。

“我们应该在南部开启 2024 年总统初选季，”Braide 在一次情感激动的演讲中说。“我们必须在民主仍需争取的地方开始我们的进程，让全国共同见证。”

2024 年选举日，在拉斯维加斯的 Galleria at Sunset 购物中心进行的投票场景。

拟定的日程表将南卡罗来纳州的初选定在 Jan. 23, 2024.。内华达州定于 2 月 1 日；新罕布什尔州定于 2 月 9 日；新墨西哥州定于 2 月 15 日；密歇根州定于 2 月 22 日；弗吉尼亚州定于 2 月 29 日。

周五的投票结果将在一个月后提交给 DNC 全体会议批准。

总统初选中早期投票州的阵容不仅具有象征意义。首批初选会吸引巨大的媒体关注和竞选注意力，且结果将影响提名进程的走向。

前总统 乔·拜登 推动南卡罗来纳州获得 2024 年的首个初选位置，因为四年前他在该州的胜利让他走上了赢得提名的轨道。

在前黑人选民中仍受欢迎的前副总统 Katia Harris，如果南卡罗来纳州的民主党人在首场初选中推动她的候选资格，她可能会在 2028 年获得早期优势。

来自西部的民主党人周五认为，内华达州作为启动初选州更有意义，因为其选民构成多样，不仅包括大量拉丁裔选民，还包括黑人、亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民，以及美洲原住民。

“我们是一个典型的小型战场州，具有多样性，且像美国本身一样，”内华达州党代表 Artie Eakins 告诉该小组。

这一结果让新罕布什尔州的民主党人感到不快，在 2024 年被南卡罗来纳州取代之前，该州数十年来一直主办全国首场民主党初选。

该州国会代表团（全部为民主党人）在一份联合声明中表示，新日历“对民主党是错误的，对新罕布什尔州是错误的，对国家也是错误的”。

他们写道，新罕布什尔州的初选“是在一个竞争激烈的摇摆州中极具影响力的培养地，能够塑造更好的候选人和更好的总统——无论 DNC 领导层如何说，这一点都没有改变”。

但全国政党主席肯·马丁 (Ken Martin) 对选举时间表表示赞赏，认为这将使潜在提名人面对比前几年多样化得多的早期投票群体——他表示，早期的 2024 年竞选中黑人投票者的百分比更高，且拉丁裔投票者增加了 160 Percent。

“这个时间表将通过那些构成我们联盟核心的投票者，对我们的候选人进行实战测试，”马丁说道。

ICE 官员去年在法庭上被认定为缺乏信誉

作者：MARRA SACCHETTI 以及 RUSTIA FOSTER/FRAN

一名涉嫌在缅因州造成一名移民死亡的枪击案中的美国移民官员在 10 月告诉法官，由于健康问题且驾驶执照被吊销，他难以赚钱。

缅因州地区法院法官 Amy Dietrich 在一个月后宣布，David Broulllette 的主张不具信誉，并拒绝了他终止向前妻支付子女抚养费的请求。相反，法官认为 Broulllette 是“自愿失业”。

一名代表缅因州车辆管理局的官员告诉《华盛顿邮报》，州政府记录显示，Broulllette 在法庭作证时其执照并未被吊销。Broulllette 在一份离婚协议中单独表示，他在 2010 年受雇于当地警察局，但该机构表示没有他在此工作的记录。

随着当局调查 7 月 13 日在缅因州比德福德（Biddeford）的一次移民执法行动中 Johan Schmitzle Durin Guerrero 枪击死亡一案，Broulllette 的信誉可能会受到审查。

国土安全部尚未确认 Broulllette 就是射杀 Durin 的官员。但其前妻 Ashley Broulllette 和其他人表示，Broulllette 告诉他们，他对此次枪击负责，并且是为了自卫而开枪。多人通过记录枪击后立即情况的视频识别出了 Broulllette。

Ashley Broulllette 表示，她的前夫告诉她，ICE 在 11 月雇佣了他，时间就在法官做出裁决前后，且当时该联邦机构正计划将数千名新官员部署到街头。她说，他表示将在几个月后开始工作。前国土安全部官员已公开质疑这些新雇员是否经过了适当的审查。

一名原官员告诉《邮报》，任何关于法官质疑 David Broulllette

U.S. DAIRY/ALFRED DIXON

无人机视角显示了 7 月 13 日缅因州比德福德发生的一起涉及一名 ICE 官员的致命枪击事件后的现场。

信誉的记录，都将增加对其是否适合任职的质疑，并可能对他向其上级汇报关于与 Durin 遭遇的任何情况产生负面影响。

“显然，如果法官认定他对法庭作了虚假陈述，这将对他关于枪击事件中发生了什么的证词产生重大不利影响，”曾在 1994 至 2007 年间担任国土安全部监察长且长期担任联邦检察官的 John Roth 表示，“我认为这是一件大事。”

Broulllette 没有回应为此报道而拨打的电话或电子邮件。Blair Jones 作为他在 10 月国土安全部支持法院听证会上的律师，也未回应电话或消息。

国土安全部没有回答《邮报》关于 Broulllette 过去陈述、他何时被 ICE 雇佣以及如何通过审查的问题。该机构的一位发言人表示，ICE 官员的目标是犯罪分子，且处于合同约束力量之中。

该机构在声明中表示：“公布他们的身份会使其及其家人的生命处于严重风险之中。”

Durin 是一名 22 岁的哥伦比亚寻求庇护者，持有特朗普政府签发的工作许可，他在出发去工作的不久后被枪击。一名 ICE 发言人表示，官员们当时正在监视一个与一名持有最终驱逐令个人相关的地址，当他们看到 Durin 离开并试图拦截其车辆时，发生了枪击。

该机构表示，在驾驶员试图开火后，该官员因“担心公共安全”而开枪。

缅因州参议员 Angus King Jr. 的发言人表示，国土安全部最初告诉他 Durin 是执法行动的目标，但后来推翻了说法，称他不是。移民法院记录显示，Durin 没有最终驱逐令，并原定于 5 月举行初步听证会。

Jonathan Ramirez 是 Durin 的朋友，在枪击事件次日于其公寓开门迎客。他表示，Durin 所驾驶的那辆白色风扇车（fan）是他的所有物。Ramirez 同时也是共同研究员（Co-institute），他表示自己并没有最终的驱逐令，且不认为自己是美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）正在寻找的人。Ramirez 表示他拥有社会安全号码和有效的工作许可，并且已缴纳税款。

“车是在我的名下的，”他说，“我是遵守这个国家规则的人。”

代表 Durin 家族考虑对政府采取法律行动的 Ben Gideon 表示，州调查人员已经采访了 Durin 的伴侣 Karolina，她在听到枪声后不久便带着他们 3 岁的女儿赶到了现场。

Gideon 表示，他尚未收到来自 FBI 以及国土安全部（DHS）监察长办公室的回复，这两个机构通常负责调查涉及执法人员的枪击事件。FBI 拒绝发表评论，并在一份声明中表示，其政策是不确认或回应有关调查的问题。

州法院记录显示，在过去的二十年里，Broulllette 一直陷入充满争议的离婚和子女抚养费诉讼中，他与两任前妻在民事法庭上相互指责对方存在虐待和疏忽行为。

10 月的法庭听证会是 Broulllette 试图修改他与其第二任妻子 Lucinda Broulllette 之间关于女儿的抚养费和监护权安排的一部分。在 10 月进行了两天的证词陈述后，法官驳回了 David Broulllette 的请求。

在 11 月 27 日的一份书面指令中，Dietrich 表示 Broulllette 曾作证说他最近开始了房地产经纪人的新职业，但由于“他因未能支付子女抚养费而导致驾驶执照最近被吊销”，其赚钱能力受损。她说她认为他的主张不可信，但未说明原因。

缅因州车辆管理局本周告诉《华盛顿邮报》，该州没有关于近期吊销执照的任何记录。该机构表示，Broulllette 的执照在 2008 年因事故后未能提供保险证明而被暂停执行几周。

“我们没有关于因未能支付子女抚养费而导致暂停或吊销执照的任何记录，”负责监管该局的州务卿办公室发言人 Jana Spaulding 说道。

在 1919, Broulllette 签署了一份离婚协议，称他在缅因州肯内贝克河畔一个拥有 1,000 人的城市 Plainwell 的警察局工作。Plainwell 警察局局长 Zachary Kindelan 表示，Broulllette 从未在警察局工作过。

“我知道他申请过几次，但据我所知他从未被聘用，”Kindelan 说。“他是一个我之前从未听过的名字。缅因州显然是一个较小的州，但是……直到最近的新闻出现，我才听说这个家伙。”

根据他向州政府申请各种执法职位时提交的简历和就业申请，Broulllette 于 2007, 从缅因州的一所高中毕业，在缅因州国民警卫队服役至 2010 年，随后成为陆军的现役士兵。这些文件是通过公共记录请求获得的。

在他 1994, 提交的一份申请中，他写道自己曾被部署到 阿富汗 并担任军事审讯员。他说他随步兵巡逻队执行任务以招募宇航员，并在监狱及“战场上”审讯 塔利班 翻译。陆军于 1994 年将他派往夏威夷管理情报分析，随后他因未指明的医疗原因退休。

州记录显示，Broulllette 曾在多个不同机构担任官员，且任职时间通常较短。这些职位包括在缅因州矫正部门、州卫生与公共服务部以及美国退伍军人事务部担任的角色。

Durin 家族的律师表示，Broulllette 的坦诚程度及其品格对于此次枪击事件的调查至关重要。

似乎没有任何执法记录仪画面捕捉到枪击发生的瞬间。而且到目前为止，还没有出现任何显示杜林（Durin）何时中弹的旁观者视频或监控录像。这将使得证人证词——包括布鲁莱特（Broulllette）本人的陈述——成为确定事件经过的关键。

“这至关重要，”吉迪恩（Gideon）说道。“如果没有产生关于枪击瞬间的直接视频证据，那么关于所提供陈述的可信度就存在很多疑问。”

阿伯拉罕协议后，阿联酋结果不一

作者：RACHEL CHASON

ARI IMABI —— 在唐纳德·特朗普总统第一任期内，白宫签署了与以色列关系正常化的《阿伯拉罕协议》，此后这里的犹太社区开始繁荣发展。Ezekiel 餐厅数量增加，人们公开庆祝犹太新年和赎罪日，阿拉伯联合酋长国也开设了其第一座公共犹太会堂。

六年之后，同一个社区现在正处于紧张状态。

在 2023年10月5日 哈马斯发动大屠杀——以及随之而来地以色列在加沙开展的残酷军事行动之后——犹太节日重新回到了私下庆祝。自以色列和美国于 2月28, 开始与伊朗开战以来，该犹太会堂一直关闭。

现在，特朗普正要求沙特阿拉伯效仿并加入《阿伯拉罕协议》，将其作为允许该国发展民用核计划的协议条件。但在阿联酋，该协议产生的结果不一。

分析人士表示，在以色列对加沙、黎巴嫩和伊朗开展激进军事行动后，当地居民和部分官员对以色列的沮丧情绪高涨。

与此同时，阿联酋官员仍公开支持《阿伯拉罕协议》，理由是商业和国防联系在增强——包括在阿联酋应对数千枚伊朗导弹和无人机时得到了以色列的帮助。他们表示，这种情况可能会促使阿联酋比以往更紧密地与以色列合作。

关于协议未来的不确定性表明，特朗普决定与伊朗开战的决定已经破坏了该决定，进一步削弱了他在该地区标志性的政策成就。在整个地区，近几个月扩大协议规模的承诺（包括试图将其作为与伊朗达成协议的框架）在很大程度上受到了冷遇。即使是阿联酋境内的以色列支持者也表示，考虑到协议在阿联酋留下的复杂遗产（尽管这里曾经支持率很高），新国家签署协议的可能性很低。

这反映了阿联酋和其他波斯湾国家在战争中所处的尴尬境地。对许多人来说，这场战争推高了他们对特朗普的负面认知，使得官员们在以色列和伊朗之间左右为难，试图寻找维持稳定形象的方法。

“以色列并没有让《阿伯拉罕协议》对我们来说那么简单——内塔尼亚胡让它变得非常困难，”总部位于迪拜的政治学教授兼分析师 Abdullshsing Abdulla 在提到以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡时说道。“存在堆积如山的问题。”

但 Abdulla 表示，以色列决定在战争最初几周向阿联酋提供伊朗防御技术（最初由 Aziza 报道，随后得到美国官员确认），这改变了局势。

“我们在需要的时候，他们帮助我们进行防御，”他说，“仅凭这一点，就足以让我们坚持执行协议。”

以色列驻阿联酋主任 Yossi Avraham Shelley 在一次采访中表示，《阿伯拉罕协议》最初面临“关于加沙的挑战或障碍”，但“时间证明”了其价值，尤其是在国防方面。

Shelley 拒绝透露以色列向阿联酋提供过什么样的具体技术，但表示美国和以色列都向阿联酋提供了其所需的“以挽救生命”的支持。

“我们提供他们需要的，”他在提到以色列和阿联酋时说。“如果他们需要特殊信息、特殊技能，我们会提供，而且是 100% 全力支持。”

与共识的决裂

2026 年的《亚伯拉罕协议》——该协议使以色列与阿联酋、巴林、苏丹和摩洛哥的关系正常化——打破了数十年来外交政策的共识，即与巴勒斯坦人的和平是以色列被阿拉伯世界接纳的前提。最近，中亚国家哈萨克斯坦也加入了该协议，尽管考虑到其早在 1995 年就已与以色列实现了关系正常化，这一点在很大程度上是可行的。

这些协议标志着特朗普外交政策的巅峰之作——但它们在很大程度上也遭到了同一世界的深刻抵制。正如《华盛顿邮报》所报道的，这些协议加剧了巴勒斯坦人的疏离感，而这在一定程度上促成了哈马斯在 10 月 7 日发起的袭击。

包括巴基斯坦在内的一些不承认以色列的国家，已经相当坚决地拒绝了特朗普旨在扩大协议范围的援助，其

迪拜市中心的办公塔楼。特朗普坚持要求沙特阿拉伯加入《亚伯拉罕协议》，将其作为达成核协议的条件。

外交部长表示，在巴勒斯坦国成立之前，其立场不会改变。

对于阿联酋这个拥有约 15 million 人口、甚至在协议之前就与以色列建立了非正式商业联系的国家来说，正常化代表了“一次巨大的信念飞跃”，现任分析师、前阿联酋政府官员 Nasser Hassan Al Shubih 说道。

“当时的想法是，很多事情多年来一直以某种方式处理，现在是时候尝试一种不同的方法了，”他说。

纽约大学阿布扎比分校阿拉伯交叉研究助理教授 Monica Marks 表示，协议签署后出现了一种“真正的喜悦”，包括学生交换、公共假期信息以及在阿联酋首都街道上出现的“访问以色列”广告牌。

但她表示，“事情开始脱离轨道的第一信号”出现在 2023, 年，当时以色列强行将巴勒斯坦人从东耶路撒冷的一个社区驱逐。她说，阿联酋的人们开始对该协议“失去热情”，而在他们目睹 10 月 7 日之后对加沙的袭击后，这种情况进一步加速。

Marks 表示，最终情况变得很明显，即阿联酋在《亚伯拉罕协议》中“确实冒了很大风险”，但在外交影响力方面的回报却寥寥无几。

“在许多人看来，《亚伯拉罕协议》更像是一个警示故事，而非一个模范，”她说。

但 Al Shubih 表示，战争期间以色列提供的军事帮助其影响不应被低估。

“我们不需要其他人来保卫我们——我们有自己的系统，”他说。“但说到底，当人们挺身而出时，这意味着很多东西。他们提供了帮助，而我们无需请求。”

在 3 月份举行的一次对外关系委员会活动中（战争爆发后几周），阿联酋总统的高级顾问 Anwar Gargash 表示，伊朗的袭击正将海湾国家推向以色列和美国。

“以色列对海湾国家的 400-throttle 攻击实际上将加强以色列在海湾地区的作用，而不会削弱它，”Gargash 说道。他表示，对于那些已经与以色列有关系的国家，这种关系将被“加强”。

他预测，对于那些尚未建立联系的国家，“将开启更多的渠道”。

礼拜渐行渐远

如今，许多在阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）的犹太居民重新回到了私人礼拜。在酒店举行礼拜曾经很常见，但现在被视为一种安全风险；而设有犹太会堂的多信仰综合体——亚伯拉罕家族之家（Abrahamic Family House）已于 Feb. 28 关闭，至今尚未重新开放。

许多犹太居民礼貌地拒绝就此发表评论，表示他们对自身安全感到紧张。

以色列大使哈特利（Hartley）承认，对于犹太社区而言，自 Oct. 7. 后，氛围已与签署《亚伯拉罕协议》时有所不同。他表示，阿联酋的领导人为确保犹太居民感到安全做出了特别努力，但这无法改变现实。

“每个人都感到安全感在降低，”他说。

美国犹太委员会（American Jewish Committee）阿布扎比前主任马克·乔纳森·西弗斯（Marc Jonathan Sievers）表示，阿联酋的社区成员对于加沙战争的演变过程感到挫败，在某些情况下甚至感到愤怒。

他表示，在 2004 年一名著名的阿联酋拉比兹维·卡根（Zvi Kagan）被绑架并杀害后，犹太社区受到了极大的震动。“我们中没有人想到这种情况会发生在这里，”西弗斯说。有三名男子因涉嫌此起谋杀案被判处死刑。

“以色列并没有让《亚伯拉罕协议》对我们而言变得轻松——内塔尼亚胡让这件事变得非常困难。这里有堆积如山的问题。”

居住在迪拜的政治学教授兼分析师阿卜杜勒辛·阿卜杜拉（Abdullshsing Abdulla）表示。

尽管如此，西弗斯补充道，他认为自己和许多其他犹太居民在阿联酋免受 anti-constitution 骚扰的安全感，比在许多其他地方（包括美国的部分地区）要强。

“我们明白，随着加沙局势的发展，情况发生了变化，”他说，但他补充道，以色列因在国防方面的帮助而赢得了阿联酋的认可。

“我们了解谁是我们的朋友，以及我们的……”（此处文本缺失），前任驻阿曼大使西弗斯说道。

他表示，他预计亚伯拉罕家族之家将在安全后尽快重新开放。但对于协议近期扩大前景，他持谨慎态度。

“约西（Yossi），”他说，“这可能是特朗普方面的一种愿望清单。”

位于阿布扎比的亚伯拉罕家族之家包含一座犹太会堂、一座清真寺和一座基督教教堂。

数万人逃离法国和西班牙的猛烈山火

作者：CAROLINE BLUMBERG, SAMUEL PYRIMAYNE AND JOSEPH WILSON 美联社

法国，ARCADION —— 周五，法国西南部和西班牙中部的大规模森林火灾失去控制，促使当局疏散了估计 10,000 人离开家园。当火焰席卷法国大西洋沿岸的旅游城市 Forest 半岛时，有些人甚至乘船逃离。

当局表示，部分消防员受伤，但两国均未报告死亡人数。

在自周三起于 Gay Forest 附近肆虐的火灾面前，约 60 平方英里被吞噬。该地区距离波尔多仅 25 英里，该半岛通常以绝美的风景和沙滩以及冬季村庄和高端度假区而闻名。

由于另一场山火爆发，当局命令进一步向南疏散，法国约 20,000 名居民逃离了较大区域。法国和西班牙均已请求欧盟成员国提供帮助。

“这相当惊人，甚至令人恐惧，”Ariz 镇居民 Laurent Moutin 表示，“如此规模的疏散以前从未发生过。我们真正希望的是消防员能尽快将其控制住。”

周四已有 20,000 多人从城镇和度假区被疏散。新的疏散工作通过公路进行，并为无法自行出行的人员提供船只接送。

吉伦特省（Gironde department）当地当局表示，15 栋房屋和一个营地被火焰吞噬，并补充说有 62 名消防员受伤。约 1,500 名逃离半岛的人员经海路抵达阿卡雄（Arcachon）市，有些人乘坐小型水槽，有些人乘坐较大的船只。

欧盟提供援助

数百名法国消防员已部署到位，周五还派遣了额外的地面和空中增援部队以应对火灾。与此同时，另一场重大山火在沿海更南端摧毁了 22 平方公里的土地。该火势仍未得到控制，强风阻碍了消防员的工作。

当局认为两场火灾的原因均是意外。吉伦特省约 64,000 人被疏散，朗德省（Landes）约 23,000 人被疏散。

法国总统 Emmanuel Rabat 对欧盟的增援表示欢迎，包括两架克罗地亚的 Canakier 消防飞机、两架葡萄牙的 Air Thacher 飞机，以及来自捷克和斯洛伐克的两架重型 Black Hand 直升机。西班牙内政部长 Fernando Corado-Martinka 表示，意大利和希腊正提供两架 Canakier 洒水飞机。

西班牙在热浪中艰难应对多起火灾

在西班牙，由于马德里及附近省份阿维拉（Ávila）发生的火灾导致部分城镇约 20,000 人被撤离，政府首次宣布进入全国山火紧急状态。

一场热浪正推波助澜，预计西班牙部分地区的温度将达到 101 华氏度。

马德里西部的两起重大火灾合并为一场大火，截至周五正午，过火面积已迅速扩大至 11.5 平方英里。大区主席伊莎贝尔·迪亚斯-阿约索（Isabel Díaz-Ayoso）称这是马德里历史上最严重的一次。

周五，法国西部山火肆虐，一名女性在阿尔卡雄（Arcachon）的一处海滩观察地平线上升起的烟雾。

周五，在西班牙阿维拉省塞莱隆（Celeron），由于面临山火威胁，居民在被撤离出家门后在一家体育中心过夜。

周五，在法国西部的阿雷斯（Ares），一架水上飞机在扑灭山火时投放水资源。

中央政府代表马德里地区的弗朗西斯科·马丁（Francisco Martín）表示，首都西部的城镇已有 40,000 人被撤离或被命令留在家中避难。据估计，该总数中至少有 10,000 人被迫离开家园。马丁表示，可能还会有进一步的撤离行动。

与此同时，在马德里西北部不到两小时车程的阿维拉发生的一场大火已吞噬 94 平方英里，导致另有 1,000 人撤离。西班牙国民卫队逮捕了一名男子，并正在调查另一名男子，指控其在 1,000,000, 因火灾风险而被禁入的区域内使用了重型机械。警方认为，火灾于周四由一个火花引发。

“在我 60 年的人生中，我从未在我的村子里见过这样的景象，从未见过如此规模的火灾，”鲁伊（Ruy）市长弗朗西斯科·马丁内斯（Francisco Martínez）告诉西班牙国家广播电视台 TVE，此前该市居民已在阿尔卡（Arca）被撤离。

西班牙电视台展示了撤离居民拍摄的视频，视频中可见浓烟滚滚，火势正向森林和灌木丛推进。强风和丘陵地形增加了消防员的灭火难度，他们通过消防车和推土机与大火抗争。

“城镇周围到处是烟和火，我很害怕。所有人都是一样的，很多人都很紧张，”33 岁的霍金·埃斯皮诺萨（Joaquín Espinosa）在与邻居从阿尔卡村撤离前告诉美联社。该村距离马德里往西开车不到一小时路程。

强风使救援工作复杂化

在短短一周内，西班牙的卡斯蒂利亚-拉曼恰（Castilla La Mancha）和马德里两个地区都发生了有记录以来最严重的火灾。

在卡斯蒂利亚-拉曼恰的瓜达拉哈拉省，消防员仍在努力扑灭西班牙历史上第二大规模的火灾，这场火灾在过去一周内摧毁了约 120 平方英里的土地。本月初，西班牙南部的一场火灾还造成 13 人死亡，这是西班牙近期记忆中最严重的火灾。

西班牙生态转型部长萨拉·奥古斯托（Sara Augusto）表示，西班牙今年已有 640 平方英里的土地被烧毁，是 2025. 年上半年过火面积的五倍多。周五，西班牙其他地区仍有九场严重的火灾在持续。

Stitches 周三呼吁各政党在应对气候变化方面达成一致，他表示这是适应更容易发生火灾的气候的关键。西班牙在近几年的夏季经历了高温，森林火灾的发生频率也在增加。

野火分析师劳尔·基莱斯（Raúl Quiles）表示，除了气候变化的影响外，由于传统上在村庄周围提供缓冲区的农田被遗弃，西班牙的农村地区更容易受到火灾的影响。他说，现在树木和水路往往直接延伸到住宅门口，使其处于危险之中。

“这为这类火灾创造了完美的条件，”基莱斯在接受美联社（AP）采访时说道，他在该机构担任区域消防分析师。

西西里岛纵火案：利用猫传火

在意大利，随着野火肆虐西西里岛及其他地区，民防官员表示，部分火灾是由 arzomida 引起的，且他们利用猫来帮助传播火焰。

卡拉布里亚（Calabria）民防局局长多梅尼科·科斯塔雷拉（Domenico Costarella）表示，arzomida 将安装在 Ramasubri 信号中的帽子系在猫的尾巴上，然后将它们释放到田野中以散播火势。

在气温突破 104 F、低湿度和强风的推波助澜下，火灾迫使当地民众分散撤离，并导致一名在 Calmarinetta 响应火警的消防员死亡。

科学研究表明，气候变化正在加剧热浪和干旱的频率与强度，尤其是在欧洲东南部，使该地区更容易受到野火的袭击。

联合国

国际刑事法院投票罢免首席检察官

据外交官告诉美联社，国际刑事法院（ICC）的成员国代表周五投票决定罢免该全球法庭的首席检察官，在他被正式指控近两年后做出了这一决定。

英国大律师卡里姆·汗（Karim Khan）被指控与一名女性助手发生性丑闻，美联社在系列报道中对此进行了详细阐述，而他一直坚决否认这些指控。

国际刑事法院的 125 个成员国以绝大多数票将汗从其职位上罢免，这是该机构历史上首次罢免首席检察官。

现年 58 岁的汗于 6 月被暂时停职，等待周五的投票结果，此前法院监管机构执行委员会的一份报告发现他犯有“严重失职”。美联社看到的文档显示，汗与该女性发生了性关系，并试图阻止她提出指控。汗对这些调查结果持有异议。

德国

默茨对政府高层岗位进行调整

德国总理弗里德里希·默茨（Friedrich Merz）周五对高层岗位进行了洗牌，试图在地区选举前提升其极不受欢迎的政府的运势；在这次选举中，一个极右翼政党可能会首次获得一名州长。

然而，默茨所展示的一套不完整的变动方案引发了质疑，并可能损害他创造新势头的努力。

默茨在不到 10 个月前就职，并承诺在经历多年的停滞后，将改革并扭转欧洲最大的经济体——德国的经济状况。

但经济转型的启动十分缓慢。而由默茨的中右翼联盟集团与中左翼社会民主党（这两个传统的竞争对手）组成的温和派联盟，目前正致力于说服选民他们能够产生结果。

这导致默茨的支持率跌至极低水平，而极右翼的“德国选择党”（AfD）则在广泛的不满情绪推动下获得了支持。

黎巴嫩

美国创建新的世界遗产地

一个联合国委员会周五投票决定将约旦河西岸的一个主要考古遗址和黎巴嫩南部的一组城堡列为世界遗产地，尽管以色列对此提出反对，并敦促委员会拒绝这些申请。

这一决定是在韩国举行的一次联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）会议上做出的。就在几天前，以色列外交部敦促委员会拒绝将约旦河西岸的小镇塞巴斯蒂亚（Sebastia）和黎巴嫩城堡列入名单的努力，称这些提名是对“文化遗产的篡改”。

在釜山的会议上，联合国教科文组织委员会的成员在以紧急方式审查提名后，决定将塞巴斯蒂亚和黎巴嫩山地地区的城堡同时列入《世界遗产名录》和《濒危世界遗产名录》。

塞巴斯蒂亚是一个位于以色列占领的约旦河西岸、距离纳布卢斯（Nablus）西北约 6 英里的古镇，学者将其认定为古代撒玛利亚，即圣经中以色列王国的首都。

华盛顿邮报 - 星期六，2006年7月25日

戈迪·豪国际大桥连接底特律和安大略省温莎市。在两国签署最后时刻的协议后，这座六车道的大桥将于周一正式通车。

特朗普曾想阻挠这座美国与加拿大之间的桥梁，而它现在即将启用。

BRIDGE (TECH) 46

他说，在某些情况下，这样一个一代仅有一次的项目启用，本可以让美国总统和加拿大总理在桥中央握手。

“遗憾的是，我们没有这样做，”迪尔曼（Dillman）说。“当美国总统继续对加拿大毫无必要地施加压力和关税时，很难去庆祝这种关系。”

白宫没有立即回应置评请求。

近一个世纪以来，底特律与温莎之间所有的商业卡车交通都依赖于大使桥（Ambassador Bridge），该桥于 1939. 年启用。去年，有 $94 billion 的跨境贸易——约占两国间卡车货运总额的四分之一——经过这座老旧的桥梁。

关于建设新桥的讨论始于 2003. 年。十年后，加拿大和密歇根州签署了该联合项目的运营协议。加拿大同意承担全部费用，一旦收回投资，通行费收益将与密歇根州平分。这座桥将以戈迪·豪（Gordie Howe）的名字命名，他是一位加拿大冰球传奇，曾在 NHL 的底特律红翼队效力 25 个赛季。

多年来，大使桥的所有者——摩洛哥家族（Moroccan family）——首先采取行动试图阻挠竞争对手的建设。被描述为十年前“交通受阻且缓慢衰落”的大使桥，将在戈迪·豪桥启用后损失大量的通行费收入。联邦选举数据显示，今年 1 月，亿万富翁马修·摩洛哥（Matthew Moroccan）向一个支持特朗普的政治行动委员会捐赠了 $1 million。次月，《纽约时报》报道称，摩洛哥在华盛顿与商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）会面。会面几小时后，特朗普威胁要阻挠新桥的启用。

尽管如此，该桥似乎还是定于 6 月启用，当地显贵也收到了开业活动的邀请。但活动在最后一刻被取消了：温莎-底特律桥梁管理局临时首席执行官查克·安德烈（Chuck Andrey）在一份声明中表示，加拿大和美国已同意推迟启用，“以解决任何未决问题”。

本月早些时候，两国表示已就原则上达成了一项“平行”协议，将允许该桥启用。根据协议条款，在接下来的 15 年里，加拿大将向一个由美国控制的美加经济发展基金注入资金。支付金额将等同于通行费收益的一半，减去桥梁的运营成本。加拿大还承诺，如果通行费率提高或降低至偏离地区平均水平，将寻求美国的同意。

特朗普对该协议表示欢迎，他在社交媒体帖子中称，他为美国“达成了一项好得多的交易”，并称最初的条款“对我来说是不可接受的”。但他对这座桥的反对与近期的发展相矛盾。在特朗普的第一任期内，他在与加拿大总理 Annie Trudeau 的联合声明中表示，他期待这一“至关重要的经济纽带”能够“尽早完工”。

温莎市长迪尔曼表示，他的社区很高兴这座桥定于周一启用。但与此同时，他说：“对于唐纳德·特朗普，绝对没有任何事情能让我感到惊讶。在第一辆车开始通过、第一辆卡车开始滚动之前，一切皆有可能。”

玛塔·莱尔迪-安德鲁斯（Marta Leardi-Andrews）领导温莎大学的跨境研究所，并在 2010. 年之前在桥梁管理局担任了四年的高管。她说，戈迪·豪桥将成为北美技术最先进、最安全的边境通道。

她补充说，美加联合庆祝虽然理想，但并非必要。“迪尔曼的批评并不是目标，”莱尔迪-安德鲁斯说。“目标是让桥梁启用并投入运行。”

Leardi-Andrews 不确定她是否会首先开车穿过这座桥，还是等到几天后其自行车和行人通道开放后再行前往。她说，在夜晚悬索桥灯火辉煌时，“美极了”。

这座桥是以戈迪·豪（Gordie Howe）命名的，他是一位加拿大冰球传奇人物，曾在 NHL 的底特律红翼队效力 25 个赛季。

俄罗斯袭击乌克兰武器展引发基辅愤怒

作者：DAVID L. STERN, BRAND ROSSLAVON 以及 NICHOLIA ABRAHONDIVA

基辅 —— 俄罗斯和乌克兰在周五与周三进行了互相当面对抗的袭击，并在一次新的日间袭击中摧毁了基辅郊外的一个国防工业展览会，造成至少 10 人死亡，近百人受伤。在莫斯科向乌克兰发射导弹的情况下，关于公开举办此类活动的决定引发了质疑和指责。

在俄罗斯，当地当局表示，乌克兰军队袭击了位于圣彼得堡、Wei 和 Utshan 的由 Wildberries (俄罗斯电商平台) 运营的仓库。Wildberries 是俄罗斯最大的电子商务市场，类似于亚马逊。近几日这些物流枢纽受到的打击，引发了对克里姆林宫试图减轻战争对普通生活影响之举的关注。

在俄罗斯袭击展览会后，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，这次活动是一个代价高昂的错误。他说：“每个人都被告知过一千遍，在这样的战争条件下，面对这样的敌人，绝对不可能举办任何武器展览。”

乌克兰总检察长 Rusius Kravchenko 周五表示，他正就此事展开刑事调查。

Kravchenko 没有提供有关该活动的细节或具体发生地点。但媒体报道称，该活动由无人系统及相关技术制造商协会组织，这是一个由无人机及其他未公开技术生产商组成的私人群体。

活动前的一篇在线帖子给出了日期但未给出地点，并称该活动将展示“针对现代空中威胁、用于防御关键基础设施的创新解决方案”。

周五早晨和周日早晨，基辅响起了防空警报，但该市活动中社交媒体帖子称，大量导弹正瞄准首都，但尚不清楚实际发射了多少枚。

“到目前为止，我们遇到了三枚导弹。防空系统成功拦截了其中一枚，”发言人 Very Stunt 在乌克兰电视台上表示。“不幸的是，”另外两枚未被拦截。

甚至在泽连斯基发表

圣彼得堡附近的一座仓库升起浓烟，乌克兰无人机轰炸了由 Wildberries (俄罗斯电商平台) ——俄罗斯最大电子商务市场——运营的仓库。

看法之前，批评之声就迅速且激烈地出现了。

“俄罗斯人不仅依赖空中侦察。他们拥有我们领土的卫星图像，拥有庞大的特工网络，并且浏览社交媒体和聊天记录，”前乌克兰国防部顾问 Serfuli Berenskin 在 X 的一篇帖子里说道。

“在弹道袭击区且在户外组织大规模军事活动，无异于帮助俄罗斯人杀人。”

“无话可说，”他说。

泽连斯基关于国防技术问题的顾问 Serfuli Beskrestnov 在 Facebook 上写道，该活动的规划充满了许多明显风险，包括“缺乏掩护、在线发布公告、参与人数众多、财产范围广以及提前公布场地”。

俄罗斯国防部在一份声明中表示，此次袭击是针对一个展示无人机的活动的“一次使用远程高精度武器的协调打击”，其中“包括用于打击俄罗斯领土上平民目标的乌克兰及外国制造的先进型号”。

就乌克兰而言，在早前本周对俄罗斯中部多处仓库进行打击后，乌克兰周五对俄罗斯北部和中部的 Wildberries 设施以及克里米亚半岛北部进行了袭击。

社交媒体上发布的照片显示，圣彼得堡及该市郊外地区升起两柱浓烟。

泽连斯基表示，对 Wildberries 设施的打击是对俄罗斯袭击乌克兰民用基础设施的报复。

莫斯科在近几周显著增加了对乌克兰城市（尤其是基辅）的轰炸，发射了大量无人机和导弹，乌克兰的防空系统在 12-1 英里宽的战线上难以拦截弹道导弹，拦截导弹已严重短缺。

周五，泽连斯基报告称，他呼吁西方政府向该国提供所需的拦截弹。

“重要的是，我们的合作伙伴也必须充分意识到，保护生命同样取决于他们，”他在社交媒体上表示。“拦截俄罗斯系统的导弹是首要任务。”

日本希望创建自第二次世界大战以来首个现代间谍机构

特朗普对自力更生的推动与保守派的愿望相一致

作者：MICHELLE YU HEE LEE, CHIC TANAKA AND GIRAL MILLER

中国间谍窃取日本公司的商业秘密，日本士兵在不知情的情况下使用了被中国恶意软件感染的USB驱动器。与中国军队有关的黑客组织对日本间谍机构发起的一次短期攻击。

几十年来，日本一直努力打击其他国家利用其薄弱的情报机构获利的行为，并对此做出回应。

现在，日本政府正寻求反击，通过彻底改革其情报能力，打破将情报搜集与战争活动联系起来的历史惯例，这是自第二次世界大战以来的首次尝试。日本官员表示，政府将欢迎这一举措。

这项巨大的努力始于今年夏天，预计将在新十月期间进行。唐纳德·特朗普敦促日本和其他盟友在国防和安全方面承担更大份额，这使得人们对未来的长期担忧以及该国对美国的依赖成为现实。

这一变化是首相 Hattie Sakashita 旨在提高日本在日益威胁的环境中安全地位的关键部分，目前来自中国、朝鲜和俄罗斯的威胁正危及该地区。作为一名安全鹰派，Sakashita 还增加了国家的国防预算，并取消了对致命武器出口的禁令。

第一步是重新建立一个国家情报局，作为协调机构。它向 press-activist 汇报：试图对有时像竞争派系一样运作的机构实施管理。

但东京还拥有更多的行动野心，计划建立一个自己的CIA版本，以便在国境之外执行间谍活动，投资于通信拦截能力，并通过法律使起诉针对日本政府和工业的中国及其他间谍变得更容易。

“安全环境已变得自第二次世界大战结束以来最严峻、最复杂，”领导执政党情报“听证总部”的日本政治家 Koharo Ohno 说道，其目标是使日本成为一个相当的国家。

随着时间的推移，这个问题变得更加紧迫。该间谍机构及其在欧洲、澳大利亚和新西兰的同行寻求增强其监测潜在中国入侵以及该地区其他安全威胁的能力。

一名曾从事亚洲政策工作的前美国官员表示，日本的“情报能力与其重量级地位不相称”，由于未获授权分享细节，该官员以及本文采访的其他现任和前任官员在匿名条件下发表言论。“这给美国和其他盟友在 [日本] 方面能做的事情创造了障碍。”

一些日本领导人长期以来一直呼吁日本深化与由美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰组成的“五眼”情报网络的联系。但日本的能力一直不足。

现任和前任西方情报官员表示，美国、英国等国家多年来一直呼吁日本重建

日本首相 Samar Takeichi 旨在改善该国在日益威胁的地缘政治舞台上的安全地位。

其情报能力。

一位前西方高级情报官员表示，随着时间的推移，日本可以在该地区一些最困难的间谍目标（包括中国和朝鲜）上提供有价值的情报，但“他们距离实现这一目标还有数年之久”。“如果他们想要成功，这将是一个漫长的能力建设和深层文化变革过程的开始。”

前西方安全官员表示，日本在多个方面面临障碍，其现有的安全机构往往显得互不协调，缺乏一个明确的中央权威来设定优先事项并强制执行合作。

同时，这些官员表示，新情报服务的成功还将取决于一个以谨慎著称的国家及其文化对风险的承受能力。

“如果你在建立一个［人力情报］服务，资金到位并获得技能和能力是一回事，”其中一名原官员说道。“但［人力情报］服务的生死存亡，取决于顶层人员——无论是服务领导层还是其政治监管者——是否准备好承担偶尔令人震惊的风险。”

中国已经注意到了这一点：中国官员警告日本不要采取此类行动，并提及了其军国主义过去。美国国务院未立即回应就东京这一新方案的评论请求。

日本已经拥有一些有限的情报能力。其警察机构、军事官员和外交官收集并分析有关外国政府以及日本境内恐怖组织和极端主义团体活动的敏感信息。

但目前尚不清楚是否存在一项综合性的努力，旨在通过人力资源收集情报、拦截通信、进行监视或在本国领土上起诉涉嫌间谍活动的行为。

“现实是，在日本大多数情况下，目前甚至无法意识到信息已被窃取［通过间谍活动］这一事实，”东京硅谷大学（Silicon University）的国家安全与情报专家金成（Ken Kanari）表示。“我们根本不知道。”

这与该国面临的主要安全威胁——中国形成了鲜明对比，后者拥有广泛的情报收集行动，甚至利用普通公民代表政府收集敏感信息。

多年来，日本采取措施弥补其安全漏洞，始于 2002, 年，同时通过了一项关于处理机密信息的综合保密法。前首相安倍晋三（Bixino Abe）主张日本重新修订其在第二次世界大战废墟上由美国占领军起草的和平宪法并建立一支有竞争力的军队，他推动了这一变革。

高下（Takashita）正在追随她的政治导师安倍的脚步。

日本官员表示，来自中国的威胁日益增加，是该国全面改革情报系统的关键动力。

前内阁国家安全顾问希金斯·金曼（Higgins Kinnaman）表示，考虑到关键矿产、半导体及其他先进技术供应链对日本国家安全的重要性，日本也有必要将其海外情报活动扩展到经济安全领域。

“鉴于他们正在采取的其他行动，这是一个自然的拓展方向，”亚洲协会政策研究所（Asia Society Policy Institute）政治安全事务主任埃米娜·查斯莱特-艾弗里（Emina Chaslett-Avery）说道。“他们一直与大量外国情报相关联，并且在其他人员方面大量依赖美国的情报。”

尽管对军国主义的担忧曾引发此前改善日本情报能力的努力，但目前对高下的抵制程度较低，她的政党在今年早些时候获得了压倒性的授权。

这使得高下及其政党能够追求之前被否决的目标，例如反间谍法。该法上次提出是在四十年前，但由于人们担心侵犯隐私而遭到强烈抵制，最终未能通过。

“国际安全环境已显著恶化，涉及中国、朝鲜和俄罗斯等国，”金成说。“形势已经发生了变化，现在呼吁必须制定［反间谍］立法的声音变得更加强烈。”

BBC 的批评者担心高下走得太远，有将普通公民置于政府监视之下的风险。

“简单来说，公民的自由将受到严重限制，”人权律师平井哲彦（Tetsuhiko Hirai）说道。他领导的日本律师自由协会反对创建新的日本情报机构。

“情报战本身就是战争的一部分。因此，问题在于日本正在步入那个领域，”平ai说道。

此次油价飙升可能会更高且持续更久

分析师表示，石油市场将被迫将长期中断因素计入价格

作者：EVAN HALPER

由于近日石油价格波动加剧，美国驾驶员在面对加油站标价时倍感压力，油价已突破每桶 $100，导致全国汽油每加仑价格上涨。

但能源分析师和高管警告称，价格可能会进一步大幅上涨，因为石油市场被迫承认市场的不稳定性，以及战争对全球能源基础设施造成的破坏，且能源复苏的前景渺茫。

“这是现代能源市场最严重的意外案例之一，”Kaplan Raebu Group研究公司创始人、乔治·W·布什政府能源顾问鲍勃·麦克纳利（Bob McNally）表示。“在这场冲突期间我们看到的一些价格已经脱离了基本面。我认为，当我们回归现实时，波动将非常剧烈。最近爆发的暴力冲突可能会将我们的价格推得更高。”

在外交努力未能延续四月停战协议后，美国和伊朗在近几周内升级了军事打击，德黑兰攻击了美国军事设施，而美国则在南非、卡塔尔、阿拉伯联合酋长国等国的协调下采取行动。本周，受伊朗支持的也门武装分子在红海航道发起袭击，进一步阻碍了石油和天然气的出口。

此次重启的战斗发生在战争爆发五个月后，这场战争导致全球石油投资枯竭，中东地区的炼油厂和其他基础设施遭到破坏，且通过关键的霍尔木兹海峡（Strait of Hormuz）的航运被迫中断。

一些关于能源价格最悲观的预测在战争初期并未实现——汽油价格从未突破每加仑，布伦特原油基准价格也未达到 $200。石油工业的乐观派指出，市场已经做出调整，公司和国家正转向替代燃料、改变贸易路线、抑制需求并实现供应商多样化。

而现在警告未来价格将大幅上涨的人则认为，市场已经到了一个无法再忽视基本供应问题的地步。分析人士表示，如果战斗在接下来的几周内继续，战争造成的广泛且未解决的挑战可能会引发一次更加痛苦的清算。

“让我们度过供应冲击最初几个月的关键缓冲机制已被磨灭，”德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的能源学者本·卡希尔（Ben Cahill）表示。“当每天都有新的中断开始时，将更难以避免价格修正和剧烈的价格反应。他们现在已经处于一种追求‘供应’的单一心理状态。”

战争爆发的时间点（二月）在一定程度上缓冲了其对能源价格的初始影响。当时全球库存充足，且正值交通燃料需求通常较低的季节。

本周，波士顿郊外的一家加油站前车辆排队。街道价格飙升，周四美国平均价格达到了 $5.20。

当伊朗以及随后的美国关闭霍尔木兹海峡（全球五分之一的石油和天然气由此运输）时，中国通过利用其庞大的储备和替代能源供应，每日减少数百万桶进口，从而减轻了全球市场的压力。美国和其他国家也从其储备中释放了数亿桶原油。

这些储备现在已基本耗尽，需要重新填充。中国对全球市场石油的需求再次上升，且美国和欧洲的夏季驾驶季已经开始，推高了需求。

除了中东地区日益激烈的冲突外，乌克兰的无人机袭击还瘫痪了俄罗斯的炼油厂，而这些炼油厂对于全球柴油供应至关重要。

据 AAA 称，全球街道价格大幅上涨，周四在美国达到平均 $5.20。同一天，相反，欧洲各国发布的一份报告显示，农民在今年的播种季节中在柴油燃料上的支出比 2023 年多出 $4.4 billion。

南加州大学马歇尔商学院的能源学者史蒂夫·布利斯（Steve Bliss）表示，自战争开始以来，这里的石油市场似乎认为政治压力将相对快速地迫使冲突结束。

“其他所有人都在做这样的假设——即当情况变得糟糕时，特朗普会介入，撤出，然后战争就会结束，”他说道。“但这并没有发生。目前尚不清楚这何时才会结束。”

分析师表示，本周油价的飙升反映出领导者们开始接受事情正朝着不同方向发展的现实。冲突每持续一天，将市场重新带回烟草（注：此处原文为tobacco，可能为OCR错误）的挑战就越大。

研究机构 Capital Economics 周三给客户写了一份简报，称霍尔穆兹海峡（Strait of Hormuz）的长期关闭可能将石油市场推向“未来几个月的临界点”，价格将飙升 10% 或更多。

该报告标题为：“中国无法永远支撑全球石油市场。”

随着油价一周来首次下跌，华尔街股市波动

美联社

纽约 — 股市波动至 2.5 percent，从 2.0 percent 变为 1.5 percent，上涨 2.0 percent，上涨 1.0 percent，上涨 0.5 percent，上涨 0.2 percent，上涨 0.1 percent，上涨 0.05 percent，上涨 0.02 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨 0.01 percent，上涨

由于美国与伊朗战争剧烈升级带来的压力增加，本周所有主要指数整体走势低迷。投资者还在应对更多的关税以及对经济在顽固通胀压力下受损的担忧。

ISEP 500 指数在平淡的一天交易中勉强对冲。它上涨了 3.09 points，或不足 0.1 percent，至 $40.00。该指数记录了连续第二周下跌，这种情况自三月以来尚未发生。

道琼斯工业平均指数变动 $10.00 points，或 0.3 percent，至 $5.94/2.35。

纳斯达克指数下跌 $15.87 points，或 0.8 percent，至 $4.975/2.0。由于几只大型科技股大幅下跌，该指数被拖低。

Mistron Technology 6G 下跌 7 percent，Broadcom 6G 下跌 2.2 percent。这两家公司市值巨大，但往往对市场影响更重。它们是技术导向的纳斯达克指数落后于大盘的主要原因，也是尽管 ISEP 500 中上涨股票多于下跌股票，但市场涨幅仍受到抑制的原因。

中东地区的激烈战斗

周五，人们在纽约的纽约证券交易所工作。

整个星期，相关局势再次威胁到全球石油和天然气的流动。这一直是华尔街关注的问题，而现在，今年早些时候能源市场中的许多缓冲机制（包括美国的战略储备）已经削弱。

“如果升级继续且霍尔木兹海峡保持关闭，其影响将落在一个弹性远低且股市正在上涨的能源市场上，”Lazard Asset Management 地缘政治咨询主管 Theodore Brunet 在一份报告中写道。国际标准原油布伦特原油下跌 3.9 percent 至 $99.79。它本周总体呈上涨趋势，周四一度回升至 $100 以上，随后油价继续波动。在二月下旬开始上涨之前，其交易价格在每桶 $72 左右。

债券收益率也有所缓解，减轻了股票的一部分压力。10年期国债收益率从周四晚间的 4.73 percent 降至 4.89 percent。

欧洲市场上涨，而亚洲市场收低。

美国还通过新一轮针对贸易关系的关税，升级了其全球贸易战。新一轮关税影响了几乎所有美国进口商品，并由进口这些商品的公司支付，而这些公司通常会将增加的成本转嫁给消费者。此举正值股市周五在总统参与后通过最高法院等其他市场的赤字削减而运行之时。

能源价格上涨和新关税可能会导致更严重的通胀，这一直令消费者苦恼，并笼罩在美联储的利率政策之上。

美联储将于本月晚些时候开会，并一直在密切监测价格及其影响。今年早些时候，通胀上升削弱了人们对降息的希望。自此，华尔街更倾向于潜在的加息，中央银行可以用此举来帮助控制通胀。

根据 CME Huffman 的数据，华尔街预计年底前至少会加息一次，且在下周即将举行的会议上发生这种情况的概率创纪录地达到了 20 percent。

更高的能源成本威胁到将占据家庭预算中更大的份额，这意味着消费重心将转向更基本的需求，例如汽油。根据 AAA 的数据，全国范围内，每加仑汽油的价格为 64.5。这仍低于今年春季亚洲冲突扩大时的价格，但比去年同期高出近一美元。

投资者担心这对公司利润产生的影响。这些利润以及对进一步增长的预期通常是股票价值的支撑。最新一轮的企业财报显示，公司仍处于增长态势，但担忧情绪正在增加。

美国运通 (American Express) 下跌 4.3%，尽管其在最近一个季度报告的利润有所增长。该公司维持了全年利润预测，并在竞争加剧的情况下投入了更多资金以留住高净值客户。

Worton——关于广泛利润可持续性的担忧，以及对专注于石油的科技公司的持续顾虑。像 Alphabet 和 Nvidia 这样的公司一直在大量投入石油技术。投资者高度质疑这些投资是否能产生足以支撑其高股票价值的利润，而正是这些价值在整个年度内推动了整体市场的上涨。

直接

关税

贸易伙伴批评关税政策

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普最新实施的一系列关税措施引起了美国贸易伙伴的立即反应，包括华盛顿特区和日本，澳大利亚贸易部长在周五谴责这些措施“完全不合理”。

政府宣布对 80 涨跌幅 征收 10 percent 至 12.5 percent 的关税。周四表示，这些国家未能充分执行针对强迫劳动产品的禁令。

新关税在特朗普在最高法院的一项临时威胁于周五 12:01 a.m. 到期后立即生效。其中 01 为关键时间点。

澳大利亚贸易部长唐·哈雷尔（Don Harrell）拒绝了将澳大利亚（牛肉、猪肉和铜的主要出口国）与现代奴隶制联系起来的说法，并反对将其对美出口关税提高至 12.5 percent。该政府级别的关税是在特朗普去年实施“解放日”涨价后强加的。

日本同样对被征收 12.5 percent 的出口关税表示反对，指出东京此前已获得特朗普政府的保证，即在之前达成 10 percent 美国进口税率的协议基础上，不会再增加更多关税。

韩国贸易部长表示，此次公告缓解了对美国贸易政策的一些不确定性，但指出针对韩国生产手段涉嫌违规的 301 调查仍在继续。韩国贸易部在一份声明中表示，韩国出口产品的综合关税不应超过 15 percent。

中国外交部表示，“反对所有形式的单边关税”，以回应新的 12.5 percent 关税。

科技公司就反对 AI 监管陈情

英伟达（Nvidia）、微软（Microsoft）和其他科技巨头周五向立法者公开陈情，支持开源 AI 模型，卷入了一场关于谁来控制这一强大技术的商业与政策界辩论。

在发布于 X 平台的一封信函中（由包括 Meta Platforms 和 IBM 在内的 24 家公司和团体共同签署），英伟达 CEO 詹姆斯·黄（James Huang）表示，立法者应避免“对开源模型采取过早的限制，以免扼杀竞争或将创新推向海外”。这封信增加了关于开源模型监管难度日益增加的讨论，例如英伟达自己的模型以及近期由中国实验室发布的模型。

近几个月来，硅谷商业领袖对闭源模型的成本感到不满。

微软以及国防承包商 Palustri Technologies 的首席执行官公开主张，允许客户在自有数据中心运行的开源模型将有助于控制 AI 成本。

科技领袖们还对 OpenAI 和 Anthropo 在其模型中内置的控制措施感到不快。

Hugging flow（一个 AI 编码协作平台，曾由一个主要 OpenAI 模型提供支持）本周表示，为了防御攻击，它不得不使用一个中国开源模型。

英伟达的信函称，其他公司承认对技术本身存在担忧，但认为这些担忧应“通过有针对性的法律和商业框架而非全面限制”来解决。

安进挑战美国食品药品监督管理局

安进（Amgen）周五表示，该公司已于 7 月 23 日向 FDA 提交新证据，寻求举行听证会，以挑战拟将其非疾病药物疗法撤出美国市场的决定。

美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）在 4 月份提议撤销该药物（用于治疗一种损害血管的新型自身免疫性疾病），理由是缺乏证明的有效性，且在其最初的营销申请中存在虚假陈述。

安进表示，公司强烈反对 FDA 的观点。

马里政府不排除美国军事干预的可能性

该国外交部长表示，任何合作伙伴“必须尊重”其主权

作者：RACHEL CHAMON 和 JOHN HENSON

INKAR, MENSAL —— 马里政府周四承认了一份报告，该报告指出特朗普政府正在考虑对这个西非国家的伊斯兰激进分子采取军事行动。马里政府表示，任何与马里合作的国家“必须尊重”其主权。

马里外交部长 Abolisham Diop 的这一表态是在《华盛顿邮报》发表的一篇报告之后做出的，该报告透露，美国政府正在考虑是否攻击一个名为 JNIM 的基地组织附属团体。如果获得批准，马里将成为唐纳德·特朗普总统自第二任期开始以来下令进行军事打击的第八个国家。

在马里首都巴马科的一次军事会议后，Diop 在接受当地媒体采访时，并未排除与美国进行军事合作的可能性，但表示，截至目前，政府官员仅看到了新闻报道，且“未收到来自美国的任何确认或官方声明”。他表示，马里政府正在等待观察“美国政府将采取什么行动”。

“我可以向你们保证，马里不会坐等他人地来解决我们的问题，”Diop 在听众的掌声中说道，并随后补充道，“马里依靠自身——依靠其聪明才智、资源、国防和安全部队以及自身能力——来解决自身问题。”

Diop 还表示，在与马里合作时有“三项绝对非常明确的原则：必须尊重马里的主权；必须尊重马里的主权决定；且必须考虑人民的利益。”

当白宫被要求置评时，一名美国高级官员拒绝透露美国是否在考虑军事选项，但表示华盛顿将继续“与马里政府接触，以评估其需求，并在适当的情况下提供援助”。该官员在讨论敏感事项时要求匿名。

马里外交部没有立即回应进一步澄清的请求。自 2020 年以来，马里一直由通过政变推翻民主选举总统的军官们统治。马里军方刚刚切断了与前殖民国家法国的安全关系，并转向俄罗斯寻求帮助，以打击在该地区造成致命暴力的基地组织和伊斯兰国附属势力，邻国布基纳法索和尼日尔的情况亦然。

但尽管俄罗斯经常进行残酷的干预——最初由瓦格纳雇佣兵执行，现在则是与俄罗斯国家关系更密切的非洲军团（Africa Corps）人员——伊斯兰激进分子反而变得更加强大。

Diop 在周四呼吁尊重马里主权的表态中说：“一个人对合作伙伴最起码的期待，应该是对方在到来时询问马里当局真正需要什么。”

《邮报》的报道显示，美国官员在是否攻击该军事团体的问题上存在分歧，该团体的全称是 Jamal el-Bintar al-Islam was Mhaddad。

当白宫被要求就该报道发表评论时，一名政府官员不愿透露特朗普是否打算推进军事打击，但表示美国一直敦促北非和西非国家政府“购买美国设备和服务，以支持他们对抗恐怖分子的战争努力”。

周四，马里外交部长 Abolisham Diop 在首都巴马科与 Osmar Diarra 将军一同发言。

在巴马科，当地报纸转载了《邮报》的报道并报道了 Diop 的回应，一些居民表示，他们对暴力行为已感到厌烦，因此欢迎美国的干预。

JNIM 在去年底通过燃料封锁成功瘫痪了该国大部分地区，并在 4 月发起了全国性袭击，其中包括一次导致该国国防部长死亡的自杀式袭击。

20 岁的产科医生 Baba Ciot 表示，美国人来帮忙“将是一件好事”。

“今天，我们只想要和平，因为目前在马里的俄罗斯人已经完全失败了，”他说，并补充道，他希望美国人能够“做得比其他人更好”。

“因为这个国家的我们承受了太多的痛苦，”他说。22 岁的学生 Ibrahim Olawara 表示，他也支持美国干预，因为“恐怖分子多年来一直妨碍我们的生活”。

但有些人则更为怀疑。教师 Alice Dela 担心，如果美国人真的干预，他们会发动一场自己无法收拾的战争。

“我们经历过几次军事干预，但都没有带来好的解决方案，”他说道。“对我来说，今天我们需要通过对话来带来和平。”

马里过渡政府成员 Mouna Ag Amachmanane 在给《华盛顿邮报》的一份声明中表示，萨赫勒地区（撒哈拉沙漠南部的广大半干旱地区）的恐怖主义“必须引起整个国际社会的关注”。

他说，包括美国和俄罗斯在内的每个国家都扮演着“至关重要的角色”，并补充说，每个国家最终必须“承担起作为其领土内安全主要保证者的责任”。

一项针对垃圾食品的垃圾法案

参议院试图监管食品广告中的卡通角色。

DICK OCE, Ronald McDonald 和 Yvonne Ross, Sen. 伯尼·桑德斯, 麦当劳是针对您的领先者，并且他身后有一个跨党派的联盟。

本周，《纽约时报》——曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是美国的一员，曾是

在政府过度干预的部门中微观组织广告活动。这种多州的干预

用政治家的判断取代了当事方的判断。而且它也无法削减儿童对糖分的喜爱。

在食品上添加警告标签是一个没那么愚蠢的想法，但尽管如此，它仍然面临一个大问题。超加工食品没有标准定义，而制定一个定义已被证明极其困难。在二月份的一次采访中，卫生部长罗伯特·T·肯尼迪（Robert T. Kennedy Jr.）承诺在四月份前制定一个定义。但该定义尚未出台。

没有人质疑超加工产品是不健康的选择。问题在于，定义哪些产品属于该类别需要识别工业广告中涉及的特定成分。研究极少量添加剂与其他化学物质产生的影响是极其困难的。

即使科学家们设法就某种成分的危害达成共识，食品工业也可以用其他化学物质替换该成分。预计他们将继续玩这种

打地鼠（whack-a-male）的游戏，以避免在其包装上添加任何警告标签。

与此同时，美国食品药品监督管理局已经要求制造商提供其产品中所含成分的信息。公共卫生倡导者认为，将这些信息浓缩在包装正面的一张警告标签中将对消费者有所帮助，但这样做有过度简化女性营养故事的风险。

减少患有糖尿病和肥胖症的儿童数量是一个伟大的目标。与此同时，人们通常已经知道哪些食物对他们不利。例如，谁还需要美国政治家提醒，那些大量基于法律（much-in-law-based）的麦片并不是最健康的早餐选择？

当然，如果美国人消费更多未经加工的食品，国家将会变得更好。但如果公共卫生倡导者认为更多的监管——以及更少的特定角色——能实现这一目标，那他们就是在自欺欺人。

特朗普加税的愤世嫉俗之借口

如果总统真的关心解决供应链中的强迫劳动问题，他周五实施的关税将会截然不同。

如果唐纳德·特朗普总统真心认为他在周五实施的关税旨在降低强迫劳动名单上的税收，那么日本和新西兰将不会像中国那样被征收同样的进口新税。而且，石油和天然气进口也不会有豁免。

这些新进口措施并未立即生效。它们被设定在周五 12:30 a.m. 生效并非巧合。在那一天，特朗普一直在利用另一项法律权限来实施其借口关税。

贸易代表的公告对 60 个国家征收 10 percent 到 12.5 percent 不等的关税，涵盖了 89 percent 的进口商品。

新法案将根据 1976 年《贸易法》第 304 条执行，该条款旨在

唐纳德·特朗普总统周五在椭圆形办公室。

应对国外的歧视性贸易做法，并打击那些对其供应链中强迫劳动视而不见国家。

强迫劳动是野蛮的，与之抗击的努力是高尚的。但这里发生的情况并非如此。抛开总统的辞令，这些是由美国企业专业支付并转嫁给其客户的税款。

总统在电子收入最温和的禁令临近时加税的商业行为虽令人反感，但他使用行政权力的决定是不诚实的。尽管共和党在众议院和参议院占多数，但特朗普并没有足够的票数通过国会批准的关税。否则，他不需要使用这种不真诚的理由。

特朗普放宽对香港的限制。为何是现在？

如果这是一个向中国伸出的橄榄枝，特朗普应该得到相应的回报。

特朗普政府部分放宽了六年前在香港严厉打击个人自由和不信任期间实施的制裁。现在是对这座城市给予奖励的一个奇怪时机，就在几天前，其警方搜查了两家独立书店，并逮捕了五名因销售所谓的“煽动性”出版物的书商。

国务院和财政部上周表示，美国将让特朗普在 2010 年针对中国讨论安全法而宣布的国家紧急状态失效，该法律蔑视了在这个动荡岛屿上持续数月的反政府选举。此举取消了对九名个体的美国制裁——其中大多数是中国和香港的警方及安全官员——这些人被认为负责执行此次打击行动。

这一举措并未达到中国官员所希望的程度。公告称，一些关键限制将继续维持，包括涉及香港自治状态的措施。这意味着在关税和出口管制方面，香港将继续被视为与中国内地相同。在中国削弱其自治权之前，香港曾享有优惠待遇。

美国官员表示，最新的举措是技术性的清理工作。他们说，将九个人从制裁名单中移除是值得采取的一步。但美国将无法这样做。接下来的行政长官和前高级安全官员 John Lee，财政部

2010 年 7 月，抗议者在香港游行时持有美国国旗。

官员们表示，部分制裁是重复的。

尽管如此，中国将此举视为一个主要的橄榄枝，称赞美国将其香港政策调整到了“一个更积极的方向”。

特朗普 5 月访问了北京，与中国国家主席习近平会面以缓解贸易紧张局势。特朗普已邀请习近平在 9 月访问华盛顿。

作为放宽制裁的回报，中国可以伸出的一个橄榄枝是释放前香港报纸出版人赖兆京 (Jimmy Lai)。他在一场关于长期

以及勾结“外部势力”的虚假审判后，于 2 月被判处 10 年监禁。用共产党的术语来说，这意味着美国。

本月初，在特朗普的游说之后，中国拒绝了著名的地下教会牧师 Eira Jin。但这表明，即便没有同情心，习近平也是有能力做出让步的。

如果取消香港制裁是旨在赢得中国 10-for-1st 全体一致支持的幕后外交努力的一部分，那么这可能确实是值得采取的一步。但生活在香港的数百万人们曾经见过自由，并渴望自由回归。美国不必接受他们的命运。

“你的意思是让我站在那个上面？”

一张 1930 年代的 Herblock 漫画。

最伟大的社论漫画家？Herblock。

David Van Dedde 在 7 月 21 日的周二评论文章《最伟大的社论漫画家？支持 Pat Oliphant 的理由》中，称 Pat Oliphant 是有史以来最伟大的漫画家。

在 Herblock 在那里进行惊人创作的最后一年，我是 华盛顿邮报 的出版人。在这些年的很多时间里，Oliphant 在 华盛顿邮报 工作。我很高兴 华盛顿邮报 拥有一位优秀的漫画家。我知道 华盛顿邮报 拥有有史以来最伟大的漫画家，一个其作品在 10 年后仍会被提及的人。如果有人建议我们与 Pat 交换， 华盛顿邮报 的每个人都会笑话他。

Van Dedde 概括了 Oliphant 敢于毫不顾忌地批评目标的意愿。我在阅读 Herblock 的成长过程中，看到他和少数几位作者将矛头指向约瑟夫·麦卡锡参议员，这是一个声音响亮、危险的目标，他愿意反击 1929 年以及指责他的报纸。Herb 对麦卡锡来说是个“粉色分子”，这位威斯康星州的共和党人指责他的漫画旨在攻击政府内部的秘密共产主义者。（有些人认为是对参议员秘密地进行攻击。）Herb 的漫画曾导致总统理查德·M·尼克松多次取消他对 华盛顿邮报 的订阅！而 Herb 并没有停止。

一天又一天，一张又一张才华横溢的画作，Herblock 将他的同行们远远甩在身后。我们这些阅读 华盛顿邮报 的人很幸运能认识他。

军事服务的机会成本

我是一名在斯坦福大学学习经济学的陆军 ROTC（预备役军官训练团）学员，每天我都见证着 Robert Shabts 7 月 19 日给编辑的信《为什么美国最聪明的人永远不应该》以及 Monty Mozingo 7 月 31 日的新作《为什么我去了哈佛——并加入了军队》中所描述的顶尖大学与军方之间的紧张关系。我的父亲在空军服役 30 年，这定义了我的童年。我知道轮到我穿上制服了。然后我来到了斯坦福。

在凌晨 1 点起床和深夜长跑之间，斯坦福让我接触到了那些在死板的军事追逐中罕见的事物。风险投资、一切以及金融都是我从未听说过、更不用说考虑将其作为职业的领域。在看着朋友们在刚入职时就能拿到 six890s，比我父亲职业生涯后期薪水还高后，我开始重新思考。

顶尖大学让服役的机会成本变得无法忽视。在某些情况下，将斯坦福的学位浪费在加入一个两年生学位同样能获得资格的机构中，简直是不明智的。

尽管做出了一些协调努力，但斯坦福让这件事变得并不容易。ROTC 学生通过与附近学校的交叉协议进行学习，比如我需要通勤约 40 分钟前往圣克拉拉大学。

在顶尖大学服役意味着用高薪工作和增长的宏图去交换一些更难解释的东西。这是大多数学生不愿承担的机会成本。

Meningos 在一个思考与战斗被视为两个独立缺陷的私人领域工作，而在斯坦福，我每天都能感受到这种差距。想要服役的学生和军事领导者必须在机构强迫做出选择时，打破这种隔阂。

巨大的财富伴随着巨大的责任

关于 Marian Tracy 7 月 16 日的决定性评论《社会主义者认为财富是被窃取的，Tracy 错了》。

创造财富与追求更公正的社会并非非此即彼的选择。I 是一名天主教神父，多年来一直为慈善组织筹集资金，我发现大多数好人都明白财富承载着责任。这并非我们的施舍——或任何支付公平份额税款的人——是对成功的惩罚，而是一种将资源用于公共利益的道德义务。

问题在于亿万富翁们是偷走了还是赢得了他们的财富。关键在于，那些拥有财富的人如何利用他们的资源来加强社会，并为他人创造机会，这将成为他们的辩护。

耶稣经常谈论财富——并非为了谴责成功，而是为了提醒他的追随者，特权带来了责任。“凡得到多的，将要求他多多”（路加福音 12:40）。他还警告说，“骆驼穿过针眼，比一个富人进入神的国更容易”（马太福音 20:24）。此外，在路加福音中，他宣布道：“你们富足的人，有祸了！因为你们已经得到了你们的报偿”（路加福音 6:24）。这些话语提醒人们，要将财富和资源用于服务正义、人类尊严和公共利益。

罗伯特·F·肯尼迪对抗抑郁药的“十字军东征”之问题所在

作者：ALANNE E. CADRILL

罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）最近宣布计划开始大幅削减美国中使用最广泛的一类抗抑郁药。在他的提案中，这些药物将受到 2000 年指南的约束，且联邦医疗保险（Medicare）和医疗补助（Medicaid）将采取新的报销规则，以鼓励限制其使用。

这里的问题不在于肯尼迪想要重新审视这些药物的广泛使用，而在于他处理此事的方式。该计划似乎是先有了结论，然后政府再搜集证据来支持这一结论。对于数百万人依赖的药物，这种改变计划的方式是不恰当的。

在 2018 年，我曾主张，2002 年起被称为选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂（SSRIs）的抗抑郁药的功效被夸大了。研究表明，其效果大多很轻微，且 1950 年代以来关于长期使用或用于治疗轻度抑郁的认知尚不明确。在互联网上发表的内容中，并没有多少能让我消除这些顾虑。无论是对这些药物的支持还是反对，证据依然不足。

十年前，《新英格兰医学杂志》发表了一项研究，审查了 2007 年至 2004 年间所有经 FDA 注册的抗抑郁药试验，涵盖了 72 种不同的药物。在 74 种不同药物的试验中，有 1.4 的 60% 被认为具有临床效果。其中，27 种发表在了医学文献中。

在 30 种没有显示出此类效果的药物中，有 22 种从未发表，另外 11 种则以某种方式被处理，使得这些社会问题变得模糊。只有三种药物的发表方式明确指出试验失败了。

每当我就发表偏见（publication bias）发表演讲时，我都会举这个例子。任何基于同行评审的综述都会得出结论，认为不同的试验（尽管很难识别）是有效果的，然而，实际上只有一半的试验获得了成功。

八年前，研究人员意识到这一局限性，发表了一项利用 2000 年代更多非现象级反馈的新研究，涉及 34 种不同抗抑郁药的试验。好消息是，每一种药物都被发现“有效”，即其表现优于安慰剂。但即便如此，作者仍对 2000 年代“有效”证据的确定性提出了质疑。

此外，这些试验大多集中在对中度至重度抑郁症的短期治疗。然而，一个所谓的“好”问题是，它无法揭示最佳结果。2000 年代的情况非常明确，且远远超出了 2000 年代的数据。

然而，这并不意味着任何使之明确的政策是正确的。因为这样做可能导致抑郁症得不到治疗。在 2000 年代，2000 年代的情况非常明确，且远远超出了 2000 年代的数据。

2000 年代的情况非常明确，且远远超出了 2000 年代的数据。

一片 Leagery 抗抑郁药

在这种情况下，我建议的做法是在政策变动之前进行研究，而不是在变动之后。

思想或行为，相比之下，只有约 2 的儿童接受了安慰剂。尽管在任何试验中都没有儿童自杀，但这促使美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 在针对儿童和青少年的抗抑郁药物上增加了第三个黑框警告，后来这一警告范围扩大到了许多高达 25 的成年人。

接下来的情况存在争议。2018, 在《健康事务》(Health Affairs) 杂志上发表的一项回顾研究将这些警告与抑郁症诊断、治疗甚至心理治疗的减少联系起来。在某些分析中，它们与自杀死亡人数的增加相关。这些研究存在方法论上的缺陷 (a) 我说过，证据是一种趋势。但底线是，20 年前联邦政府对这些药物采取的行动，可能伤害的孩子比帮助的更多。我们仍然不能确定。

肯尼迪的担忧是有据可循的。抗抑郁药物的处方量在过去几十年中一直在攀升，而且一些患者可能可以安全地逐渐减药。但他试图改变联邦政策的方式，就好像他拥有所有答案，而不是面临一堆问题一样。

如果该部门宣布计划资助针对这些问题的研究，我会对此表示赞赏。已经存在能够实现这一目标的机构。例如，以患者为中心的结局研究机构 (Pepsi-Centred Outcomes Research Institute) 资助对患者至关重要的研究问题，而医疗保健研究与质量局 (agency for healthcare Research and quality) 也可以利用相关的研究和身体设备。

这些机构完全有能力支持那些尚未开展的研究，例如长期的随机停药试验，以显示谁可以安全地停止使用 EHRs，而谁在停药时可能面临风险。EHRs 还可以将研究重点放在轻度抑郁症上，在这种情况下，开药很普遍，但证据却很匮乏。最后，它可以资助研究人员综合证据，研究如何安全地为患者减药。

至于这些药物是否有效，这是一个实证问题——而依赖使用药物是否可耻则不是。抑郁症也是一个不幸的病症类别，社会对此一直悄悄地监视。患有此病的人被怀疑只是因为“不够努力”。而“依赖”和“过度用药”是否暗示依赖药物是意志力的失败？

多年前在一次严重的恐慌发作后，我开始使用 EHR，它对我有所帮助。这是一个关于 2000s 的轶事，一个反事实。它证明了开始用药的益处。但肯尼迪政策提案中关于禁药的主张同样无法证明。

美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 仍然认为 EHRs 是安全的且是良好的解决方案。2000s 不是一个好的解决方案。2000s 不是一个好的解决方案。2000s 不是一个好的解决方案。

2000s 不是一个好的解决方案。2000s 不是一个好的解决方案。2000s 不是一个好的解决方案。

FARED ZAKARIA

一场革命正在展开。各地选民都愤怒不已。

本周，英国在短短十年内更换了两任首相。法国在短短几年内，其前进的步伐几乎同样频频受挫。其总统很可能将是副合约 Marine Le Pen。在德国，极右翼 100，就在几年前，现在却在第一名大声呼喊。即使是东亚的民主国家——通常，他们有点不道德，过于激进——也看到日本、韩国和台湾的政府在努力应对日益增长的公众愤怒。而在人口掌权的地方，情况似乎也没有太大不同。唐纳德·特朗普现在被认为处于该国 40 年来美国总统任期内此阶段的最低点。

今天的民主制度还能运作吗？

假设在民主世界，许多国家已经经历了快速的共和账户更替。显然，2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。而且 2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。

为什么会发生这种情况？部分原因在于经济、贸易和工业，或者是因为支持并减少不平等地助长了公众的愤怒。但经济只是故事的一部分。美国享有的增长比大多数其他发达经济体更强。根据一份 EHR 8. 的报告，在总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙领导下的法国，失业率有所下降，且连续七年吸引的外国投资项目比欧洲任何其他国家都多。韩国是一个经济成功的故事。日本正在经历复苏，而美国的政府在几乎所有地方都不受欢迎。

更广泛的解释是，我们正处于历史上伟大的技术革命之一之中。而这些变革总是会产生深层的焦虑和恐惧。

上一次如此规模的技术变革发生在 2000 到 3000 之间。电力、电话、铁路、汽车和电影重塑了产业和生活方式。虽然 2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案，但 2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。

这一次的新革命是数字化的而非电力的，始于计算机，接着是互联网，然后是智能手机和社会媒体，以及世界上更多的 2000 年代。2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。

2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案。

7 月 22 日，英国首相 Andy Burnham 在英格兰巴斯。

几乎所有地方的民主政府都不受欢迎。更深层的解释是，我们正处于历史上一次伟大的技术革命之中。

政治制度的发展滞后于社会和经济变革。大规模的变革会引发焦虑。而成功的社会和大多数政治。公民希望领导人能减少混乱，提供安全，并帮助他们重新获得对那些似乎日益超出初级群体掌控之力量的控制感。

2000 年代并不是一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

我们可以在三分钟内叫到一辆车。包裹在当天送达。人工智能在几秒钟内回答复杂的问题，并在三分钟内完成过去人们需要数月才能完成的更复杂的工作。自然地，公民开始期待政府也能有类似的效率。但民主并非为速度而设计。它是为合法性而设计的：它在发生，国会议员咨询法院，保护弱势群体并平衡运作的利益。这些保障正是民主与威权主义的区别所在。然而，在一个由技术惊人速度所塑造的时代，它们看起来越来越像是一种瘫痪。

社交媒体扩大了这一差距。政府的每一次失误都变得极其显眼。每一次日常任命都变成一场激烈的争议。在政府甚至还没开始做出反应之前，每一个沮丧的公民就可以动员数以千计的其他人们。

这有助于解释现代国家的奇异轨迹。政治家试图这样做。从 2000 年到 2004 年，2000 年代并不是一个好的解决方案。2000 年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

人们似乎并没有完全失去对民主的信心。他们没有背弃选举、宪法和独立的法院。但他们对民主的表现深感不满。民主派必须再次证明，他们能够建设住房和基础设施、现代化公共服务、应对技术变革、减少不平等——并且以紧迫感和有效性来完成这些工作。

历史提供了一些乐观的理由。在重大技术动荡之中，制度往往看起来最虚弱，因为它们运行缓慢且争论不断。然而，随着时间的推移，它们通常比进取型制度适应得更好，正是因为它们可以通过非暴力或非压制的方式离开、纠正错误并改变方向。

民主领导人不应试图去战胜技术，因为他们做不到。但他们应该通过不懈的专注和能力证明，更多的事情是可以被推动的。那么人们就会明白，问责的摩擦和合法性的重量并非系统中的累赘。它们正是让我们保持自由的基石。

世界杯恢复了我对美国的信心

7月1日，在密苏里州堪萨斯城举行的一场美国队对阵波黑队的世界杯比赛派对。

无论你对美国的问题有什么看法，很明显，每个忽视了2000年代的世界杯的人，都发生了某些事情。无论是启动这一切的FIFA和平奖，还是人类团队被对待的可耻战争，或者是整个Fidaria Be-vega将会回去。而且，直到2000年代，2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

而且这没有带来任何生活上的改变。这次锦标赛将特朗普从名单中剔除。这在几乎所有方面——财务上、种族上、竞争上，或许最重要的是社会学上——都是最成功的一次世界杯，等等。2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

当债务和FIFA选择美国时，2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

但这次世界杯也提醒我们，美国处于其最佳状态。在这次锦标赛中，没有任何事情能像特朗普政府的罕见那样被过度夸大。在11月，当时的Hisandard，2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。2000年代并不是一个好的解决方案。

乌干达长颈鹿迁至新家以避开石油钻探

其他野生动物也将加入这一占地 64 平方英里的保护区

作者：PATRICK OWEN 美联社

乌干达，默奇森瀑布国家公园 —— 在乌干达最大的国家公园一个寒冷的早晨，护林员们在精神饱满地聊天并唱歌，准备开始一项被认为对保护至关重要的艰巨野生动物项目：将努比亚长颈鹿迁至新家。

周二，默奇森瀑布国家公园的护林员开始将 12 头濒危的努比亚长颈鹿迁徙到 65 英里外的阿贾伊野生动物保护区。该项目预计在未来几天内完成，旨在保护该物种数量，增强生物多样性并多样化旅游机会。

据估计，乌干达 40% 的石油储量位于默奇森瀑布地区及公园内。近几个月来，尽管环保人士多年来一直反对，但包括重型机械穿过国家公园在内的石油钻探活动有所增加。

乌干达正致力于在该地区生产首批石油。2024 年 6 月，Smallpoxies 正式开始在公园内的 Tlinga 项目区钻探石油。

周二负责长颈鹿迁徙工作的乌干达野生动物管理局兽医服务助理指挥官 Patrick Atwood 表示，在其他保护区建立新的动物种群将减轻当前栖息地的压力，因为钻探已造成显著破坏。

他表示，由于油气活动、旅游开发、气候变化、灌木入侵和外来物种，乌干达希望扩大极危长颈鹿的分布范围。

“这正在缩小这里的野生动物栖息地，尤其是长颈鹿，”Atwood 在谈到这些高度可达 26 英尺、重量可达 4,000 磅的动物时说道。

“因此，在同一个保护区、同一个区域内，距离这里约 100 公里（62 英里）的地方建立一个种子种群，是正确的保护措施，”他说道。

长颈鹿新家是一座复兴的野生动物保护区

在听取 Atwood 的最后简报后，行动正式启动。官员们引导长颈鹿进入等待的卡车，车上安装了两根树枝，供长颈鹿在旅途中咀嚼。

在阿贾伊野生动物保护区，十多名护林员在等待它们的到来。这些动物迫不及待地走下卡车，进入它们新的 64 平方英里的家园。该保护区曾拥有多样化的野生动物种群，但由于 20 世纪 90 年代初猖獗的偷猎和该国长期的不安全局势而被消灭。

将努比亚长颈鹿引入该保护区是正在进行的生态修复工作的一部分。除了长颈鹿，其他野生动物如南白犀牛、水牛、斑马和数百只乌干达羚羊（Uganda kids）也正在被重新引入。

“这些动物现在状态非常好并且在繁衍。许多动物现在已经怀孕。它们正遍布整个保护区，无论是在电子围栏内还是电子围栏外，”阿贾伊野生动物保护区高级主管 Wilson Kalamipwa 说道。

野生动物当局乐观地认为，成立于 1937 年的阿贾伊保护区将成为一个新家，尽管面临来自人类活动和自然环境的压力威胁其保护，但他们的工作将增加乌干达的野生动物数量。

保护区的部分区域正在修建围栏，并增加了护林员人数以保护动物免受偷猎者侵害。分享旅游经济收益的当地社区已经接受了关于保护重要性的教育。

“他们准备好与我们共同保护，我们与地区领导层保持着良好的工作关系，”Kala-

周三，在从默奇森瀑布国家公园迁往 65 英里外阿贾伊野生动物保护区的过程中，护林员和兽医在约束一只被麻醉的努比亚长颈鹿。

周二，三头努比亚长颈鹿被释放到阿贾伊（Ajai）保护区。据估计，乌干达 40 percent 的石油储量位于默奇森瀑布区，也就是它们之前的栖息地。

mipwa 说道。

他说，当长颈鹿的迁徙安置完成后，社区成员将被邀请到保护区参观这些动物，这些动物在当地已经灭绝了数十年。

“巨大的梦想是，我们希望看到这个地方的经济规模越来越大，并在最终的 2030 北东计划中，通过旅游业将这里纳入货币经济，”Kalamipwa 说道。

当长颈鹿走下卡车时，摩西·阿亚蒂（Moses Ayati）无法掩饰他的激动之情，因为这些动物就在他家附近，并且将给环境带来益处。

“社区已经意识到了，警觉性很高，我相信他们会照顾好这些动物，因为这些动物同样属于当地社区，”Ayati 说道。

一只被麻醉的长颈鹿在运输前被固定。野生动物当局对此持乐观态度，认为成立于 1937, 年的阿贾伊保护区将成为一个新家，让他们能够在人类活动和自然的压力下，继续致力于增加乌干达的野生动物数量。

“这些动物现在状态很好，而且在繁衍。许多动物现在怀孕了。它们正散布在整个保护区，包括电击围栏内部和外部。”

《大爆炸理论》衍生剧具有普适的吸引力

作者：ROBERT LLOYD

洛杉矶时报

除了黎明再次回到后院，最近没有什么比刷完《斯图尔特拯救宇宙》（"Stuart Falls to Save the Universe"）第一季的 20 集让我更开心过，这是《大爆炸理论》的第三部衍生剧。

本周在 HBO Max 上播出——这是该系列首次脱离 CBS，并利用了高级有线电视提供的昂贵机会——剧中的暴力和语言大多较为大胆，但这并没有使其失去可爱之处。（没有人脱衣，否则就会少了一些可爱感。）

就像《里奥·格兰特》（"Leo Grant"）从《明星泰勒之屋秀》（"The Star's Tyler House Show"）的残骸中提取出一部报纸剧，或者早期的《大爆炸》前传《少年谢尔顿》（"Young Sheldon"）一样，《斯图尔特》将它的演员——原剧中的次要角色——放置在一个完全不同的环境中：一部单场景、平行联盟的科幻冒险喜剧。在整体风格上，它类似于凯文·费格（Kevin Feige）为迪士尼制作的那些经过修饰的漫威甜点，或者基于 DC 的、充满活力的《梦幻巡逻》（"Dream Patrol"，同样在 HBO Max 上播出，供参考）。该剧由查克·洛尔（Chuck Lorre）与《大爆炸》联合创作者比尔·普拉迪（Bill Prady）以及扎克·彭恩（Zak Penn）共同创作和编写，后者的编剧作品大多涉及超级英雄和科幻题材，这十分恰当。（无需过多关注幕后之人——即洛尔——他在发送的一条消息中……）

K-pop 歌手 Rei Ami 为“鲨鱼周”面对新恶魔

作者：MARK KENNEDY

美联社

Rei Ami 的嗓音曾助力热门电影《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》（"KPop Demon Hunters"），而最近她发现自己面对的是真正的猎手——在海底观察约 10 条礁鲨陷入喂食狂潮。

她当然很害怕。但除此之外，她甚至被感动得流下了眼泪。

“我以为自己会更警觉一些，但我被迷住了，我深感敬畏。这就是在见证自然，”她说。“你无法用语言表达你所经历的情绪和感受。”

随着探索频道（Discovery Channel）的“鲨鱼周”（"Shark Week"）在周日启动，观众可以看到 Rei Ami，并听到她演唱一首受她在朝鲜半岛外与鲨鱼接触经历启发的 K-pop 新歌。

20 部全新的、时长各异的节目将深入探索这些古老掠食者的世界，从一次打破记录的潜入鲨鱼出没海域的尝试，到试图找出是什么触发了巨型牛鲨与人类对抗。

“在成长过程中，我一直看‘鲨鱼周’，”Rei Ami 说。“你会看到那些史诗般的商业广告，大白鲨跳出来吃掉鱼饵和金枪鱼。这永远地刻在了我的脑海里。”

演员兼喜剧演员郑肯（Ken Jeong）将与她一起在周日启动名为《K-Pop 鲨鱼英雄》（"K-Pop Shark Heroes"）的节目。虽然她进行了两次笼潜和两次与锤头鲨及礁鲨在一起的自由潜水，且……

艾森豪威尔大楼的绘画提案

不仅危及建筑结构，还危及法律保障

行政过度干预

在 2006 年，建筑师兼结构工程师 Stephen Kelley 在对艾森豪威尔行政办公大楼（Eisenhower Executive Office Building）进行大规模翻修时，注意到了一些在石匠行内被称为“dutcheson”的现象。

这些是通过将新的且匹配的石材仔细地补入大块石材中而进行的微小修复。这是一个极其艰苦的过程，可能是在大约 100 年前，当大楼的花岗岩从缅因州的一个采石场运抵白宫西侧的建筑工地后完成的。

“这显然是在大楼建设期间完成的，而且做得非常好，”Kelley 说道。他曾参与过黎巴嫩古罗马遗址、土耳其千年教堂以及芝加哥 20 世纪早期的摩天大楼的保护工作。

他说：“这是一座为了永恒而建的大楼。”

Kelley 是二十多位在地区法院反对特朗普政府将庞大的 EEOB 刷成白色（以匹配附近的白宫）计划的保护、材料和遗产专家之一。他们表示，这样做是没有必要的，且成本高昂，还可能损坏石材，导致一场“无法言说的”噩梦，因为大楼将不得不定期重新刷漆，使其可能处于不——

“鲨鱼周”的核心是教育

在鲨鱼群中，他更倾向于远离水面。

“我更像是鲨鱼‘奥德赛’中的克里斯托弗·诺兰——只是在监督它，”Jeong 开玩笑说。“只是在俯瞰一切。在高处且干燥的地方。那时是我工作状态最好的时候。”

8 月 1 日开始的七个夜晚将推出新节目，探讨大白鲨如何进一步向东海岸迁移，并研究成群的鲨鱼如何利用尾部放松并杀死猎物。

其中一个亮点是观看 River Malls Carlson 从直升机上跳下 10 英尺进入海中的 Poughke 顶盖，周围环绕着打转的礁鲨。Shirt 并不害怕从极高的地方跳下，但鲨鱼让她恐惧。

“第二天早晨面对鲨鱼的机会完全为零。这不在我的考虑范围内，”她说。“这一直以来都是我的顾虑，所以当被邀请参加‘鲨鱼周’时，我心想。”

“Severe 将会克服她长期以来对鲨鱼的恐惧，Carlson 一直在讲述她与焦虑作斗争的经历。Carlson 希望这能成为一件好事。”

“如果我能激励下一个 30 岁的女孩，那个只想躲在房间里永远不出来的女孩，因为她害怕在自由中死去。她是个好女孩，会找到一个办法去实现它，”她说。“你可以感到害怕，但依然选择去做。我认为这也是那个项目背后的重大目的。”

今年的亮点还包括尝试在南加州海岸寻找一只体型巨大的 10 英尺鲨鱼，这将使其成为有记录以来最大的鲨鱼。

海洋生物学家 Kandy Iferau 是一位“鲨鱼周”女性，她回应了动物学团体 Beyond the Reef，她说她的科学家团队在现场感到一艘海洋船只将无法完成。

左侧的 Red Ant 是 “KPop Human Monsters” 的歌手之一，演员-cosmian Kare Jeong 出现在周日揭幕探索频道 (Discovery) 年度 “鲨鱼周” 的 “K-Pop Shark Heroes” 中。

“我原以为我会更恐惧一些，但我被迷住了。我深感敬畏。这是在见证自然。”

Red Ant，其中两人正向东前往阿鲁巴，航向沉重。

这些水域中丰富的猎物让鲨鱼能够长得更大。

“鲨鱼是海洋的后裔，因为它们已经存在了 400 million 年。它们比恐龙古老，比树木古老。鲨鱼一直存在，但它们谈论的形式在不断变化，”她说。

“鲨鱼周”已成为夏季电视节目的关键部分，让在陆地上安全的人们可以看到古代的贫穷产物缓慢地滑入视野，张开大口，制造噩梦。

一如既往，在那些有趣的段子、鲨鱼双关语以及像 “Chans Island: Catching a Killer” 和 “Sharks' Rake: New York” 这样数以千计的鲨鱼节目的掩盖下，隐藏着对这些生物的深切尊重和强大的科学依据。

“虽然 ‘鲨鱼周’ 非常具有娱乐性和刺激性，但其核心是非常具有教育意义的。我认为关于鲨鱼及其行为仍然存在很多误解，”Red Ant 说。

“通过这些剧集，人们可以明白，真的没有理由恐惧它们，你知道吗？我希望这个信息能被接收到。”

《纽约时报》的竞争对手——国家地理频道的 “SharkStar”，同样拥有数小时的鲨鱼相关内容。此外还有亚马逊 (Amazon) Shelter 的新剧集 “The World's Bloody”。这部新剧集将鲨鱼设定在了一个被洪水淹没的核心系统中的大学生身上。

“鲨鱼周”还提供了关于当你发现自己必须与鲨鱼共处时该怎么做的实用建议，随着互动增加，这是更多像 Karen to Brooklyn 这样的人关注的问题。建议很明确：停止搅动。

“人类知道在身处水中且面对鲨鱼的情况下如何行动和反应，这一点更为紧迫，” Red Ant 说。“我认为这真的能帮助公众理解这些开放式产物是如何运作和行为的。”

72 HOURS ★★☆☆

独身派对喜剧发挥了哈特的优势

作者：JACK COYLE

作为一部关于年长且仍需迎合年轻群体的电影，凯文·哈特（Kevin Hart）的喜剧《72 Hours》在系列策略上颇有考量。

哈特饰演一名名为乔（Joe）的纽约成功广告主管，他的活动创意已变得过时。他的预算主管认为他对自己（Gen Z）并不满意。在渴望融入青年文化的驱动下，尽管联系极其牵强，乔还是参加了一个在迈阿密举行的独身派对。他被意外地抄送到一个包含四个 20 岁出头年轻人的群聊线程中。

《72 Hours》于周五在 Netflix 上线，就像一场对决商业片一样，它是一个高度工程化的产品。在 31 分钟内，没有一个系列不会让你想起其他某部喜剧的细节。如果说由蒂姆·贝里（Tim Berry，执导《Ride Along》、《Bacheloring》）导演、威尔·帕克（Will Parker）制片，这部类似《宿醉》（The Hangover Kit）的《72 Hours》至少意识到这一点。这部电影本身就是一个关于哈特的笑话——如今 42 岁的他试图与一个更年轻、在政治上更满意的世代产生共鸣。

这使得《72 Hours》在素材上比他之前在 Netflix 拍摄的许多（很多）其他电影更适合哈特。电影的大部分喜剧能量来自哈特与他年轻表亲们的互动，其中除一人外的所有人都是《周六夜现场》（Saturday Night Live）的演员。Marcelle Hernández, Ben

凯文·哈特（左）和 Tryana Taylor 在《72 Hours》中；该片大量借鉴了其他喜剧，但依然具有娱乐性。

Marshall 和 Sam Peterson。第四个在迈阿密的人（Miami Goodnight）则是那个即将结婚的人。

约翰·科尔斯（John Koels）在周围人的欲望中展现自我，就像德韦恩·强森（Dwayne Johnson）或柯南·奥布莱恩（Conan O'Brien）——他是那个呆萌红发 Marshall 的精神之父。哈特与面对面迎接挑战的《SNL》新卫兵的组合取得了成功。尽管他在喜剧中的天性如此，但哈特一直有很好的自觉，让自己成为最好的笑料。而《72 Hours》在很大程度上是关于独身派对的伙计们嘲笑这个突然为他们在迈阿密买单的老男人。

《72 Hours》有四位挂名编剧，情节极其牵强。

就好像基本前提还不够一样，电影还通过一个大声喧哗的毒贩（“世界上的 Michael Mania”，或“永远不要叫 Hard”）加入了一个笑话，对方认为乔是竞争对手。每当乔闻到一些可卡因时，他就会变成一个名叫 Ronnie Montana 的古巴毒枭人格——基本上是在模仿《疤面煞星》（Scarface）中的阿尔·帕西诺（Al Pacino）。

如果你觉得这听起来像是一个潜在的值得怀疑的戏仿，那么《72 Hours》并不完全是那样。乔在纽约马戏团中的麻烦部分源于他写的一则利用专业谐音梗的火焰广告。在其中一个场景中，乔错过了一个真正的年轻类型，并因此迅速遭到嘲笑。

这部电影是对哈特自身及其口味与更现代感相碰撞的足够干练的评论。

这种自觉并不一定会让《72 Hours》脱离 100-非吸烟者的行列。宽泛喜剧的 Ingo Jinks 不会期待游艇派对、自私名单、以及与整个生殖器的擦肩而过。但《SNL》的演员们表现得很好。Bernadette 在《Happy Gilmore 22》中短暂露面，但这是他在电影中的首次领衔主演。对于那位极具魅力的《SNL》播报员来说，这是一个单人播报，播报效果甚至更好，扮演一个刚刚分手、威胁要将周末变成“Get Play Love”的疲惫男人。

但《72 Hours》最出色的部分是 Tryana Taylor 的另一面。她在纽约饰演杰克（Jack）的女朋友，她花了大部分钱在远离之处，等待她的经历来让他们的关系升温。在任何情况下，这都将是 Taylor 的首年之作，但在《One Battle After Another》之后，这显得格外巨大。8-stand line 像是夏季的一首单曲，但除了休斯顿外几乎消失了。尽管它在 Netflix 的《72 Hours》中呈现，但有些事情永远不会改变。

《Stuart Fails》凭借其喜剧演员阵容获得成功

作者：TY KRYSTEV (B1)

不断变化的演职员表称“喜剧由心理健康的人编写”，且在对话中，将一部情景剧祝福为“一次毫无意义的漫步”。

这里的主角是药店老板 Stuart Bloom (Kevin Bowman)，他并非那些他能胜任的千禧一代；他那能干、务实的女友 Sharon (Lauren Lapleau)，甜美的地质学家 Ken Kildner (Brian Proctor，管风琴师) 以及麻烦的等离子体物理学家 Barry Krleper (John Ross Brown)。他们可能不是人们在选择主演系列剧时首选的前四名演员或角色，但他们是合适的人选，而且他们做到了。

故事开篇于一个后末日时期的帕萨迪纳 (Pasadena)，跟随一个被困的角色穿过一个自称“世道”的黑暗遮盖物，这里直接面对着 Stuart 那不知为何依然开业的漫画书店。事实证明这是第一个人，他在收拾遮盖物时问道：“有什么新东西吗！”，Stuart 回答道：“每次都一样”，同时将垃圾扔进商店中央的一个漂浮虫洞中。常客 Kyle (Jayne Carwanger) 和 Trevor (Josh Berner) —— 他们将在整个系列中反复出现 —— 正在争论 Bachelor 是否配得上成为一个平均值 —— 确实有些运动员在世界末日之后也无法安静下来。

在一段 Bart 因一名人类表亲而导致欺诈的间隔之后，出现了我称之为“大爆炸”的人物。Stuart 出现并带来一条消息 —— 在主现实中，“大爆炸”中的角色 Sheldon, Leonard 和 Howard（此处未出现）创建了一个“无污迹量子干涉设备”，该设备发生故障并将现实分裂成了这部电视剧。“这是真实发生的，”后末日时期的 Stuart 被指派去修复这一切，但指令是混乱的（一次糟糕的交叉牺牲连接），且情况相同。

尽管如此，Stuart 和 Bart 还是在 Thomas Dox 的指导下出发前往加州理工学院 (Caltech) —— 这是一个针对该地点的冷笑话。在前往上州的路上，Doxies 将加入他们，Doxies 已成为一名土匪（但“仍在撰写我的剧本”），以及 Krleps，一个糟糕的前提，但他仍将拥有自己的剧本。他自封为南帕萨迪纳、弗林特里奇 (Flintridge) 和门罗维亚 (Monrovia) 的大哈里发，以及圣盖博谷 (San Gabriel Valley) 的最高统治者，但不久他就会被推翻，当我们拿到量子干涉设备时，我们将开始一段

在前往未知之地的途中，穿越连续现实的旅程。就奥德赛之旅而言，这非常符合我的节奏。

为什么被指派去审视宇宙的人应该是 Stuart 并没有解释，且仅在意义上，主张说话、生意、演员以及 Stuart 内部（“我不是量子紊乱，我上过罗德岛设计学院”）适合这份工作，而且这种选角将 Lapleau 带入了其中，她在饰演 Doxies 时非常迷人，他们之间的关系构成了该剧的情感基调。Powles 说的任何话在说出口的那一刻就很有趣。Krleps 身上附带一些轻微的语言承诺幽默，以及一些运气好的性笑话，但这些已经与角色绑定，所以你还想要什么？而 Doxies 在扮演糟糕角色方面简直无可替代。

我不想过多地透露具体发生了什么，因为文字描述起来不会像画面呈现那样有趣。我们之前见过一些平行现实，虽然不一定完全可信，且绝无一个是相同的。我不想说太多关于我们可能会在这里花一整天时间枚举的内容，而且，相比于宏大的概念，真正让这部剧出彩的是其呈现方式。更重要的是，乐趣的一部分在于与旅行者们一起探索每个新宇宙，以及看到熟悉环境的转变。（华纳兄弟公司在周末并没有胆量，如果你发现一个平行现实团队不合适，很快就会有另一个出现。这不是我遇到的问题。但这里有两个来自魔法真实存在的世界的笑话。Krleps：“斯图尔特，这里的人认为科学是邪恶的。”斯图尔特：“那和我们的世界有什么区别？”而且，漫画角色奇异博士在这里是一名结直肠外科医生。）

偶尔会有角色尝试解释事情，而那就是你可能会产生疑问的地方。虽然我不怀疑有些观众喜欢投入时间、精力并动脑筋去梳理该系列的高峰，甚至其方式可能会让创作者也感到惊讶，但最不复杂的时空现实旅行故事只需要在当下能自圆其说即可。我建议你将这些问题抛在脑后，享受变换的记忆和有趣的对比。

凯文·鲍曼 (Kevin Bowman) 和劳伦·拉普洛 (Lauren Lapleau) 出现在《斯图尔特未能拯救宇宙》中，该剧为《生活大爆炸》(The Big Bang Theory) 的衍生剧。

涂漆计划可能会损害石材——以及法律

评论员 N NORTHERN FRIES B

其脚手架将永久存在。该案件由文化遗产伙伴组织（Cultural Heritage Partners）和华盛顿特区宾夕法尼亚屋（D.C. Pennsylvania House）提起，于 2010 年 11 月 16 日提交，就在特朗普总统展示这座纯白色建筑完工后外观图像的几天后。他在椭圆形办公室接受劳拉·英格拉汉（Laura Ingraham）采访时展示了这些图像。从那时起，特朗普翻新和建设清单中这项看似微小的项目已变得至关重要。

目前存在两个问题：一是对建筑可能造成不可逆转的损害；二是特朗普试图通过将任何他想要加速推进的项目转移到白宫行政办公室（White House Office of Administration）——一个行政分支机构且不受相关审查约束的部门——从而有效地使其免于历史和环境审查。

通常情况下，总务局（General Services Administration）必须遵守法律，并征求专家和公众的意见，而主要利益相关方已将特朗普住宅纳入此案。退出 GIA 结束了这些对白宫的责任和要求，在白宫内部，《国家历史保护法》和《国家环境政策法》并不适用。

“这一先例具有潜在的毁灭性，”文化遗产伙伴组织的格雷格·维尔克豪斯（Greg Werkhaus）表示。“只要总统对某个项目产生个人兴趣，他就可以简单地将其从一个受审查的机构中抽离，并放入自己的作坊中。”

如果总统想在保护区中匆忙铺设一条新管道？只需将责任从联邦能源监管委员会转移给总统自己的人马，问题就解决了。

关于这些无稽之谈，一名白宫官员表示，行政办公室“对其项目进行所有必要的尽职调查和审查”，且与 GIA 的安排允许该办公室“更高效、更经济地管理项目，以及 EEOS 目前所处的多元化状态”。(2)

在特朗普时代，建筑和设计绝不仅仅关乎贸易环境。这关乎权力，以及一个将基比（Kirby）等专家和公众系统性地排除在政府行动之外的政府。

一段时间以来，这个项目似乎被搁置了，但周一政府提交了总统副助理海瑟·汉娜（Heather Hanna）的一份声明，称行政办公室将开始对建筑进行周转评估，为涂漆做准备。这就是为什么维尔克豪斯表示，他正在推动请求禁令以停止该项目，并强迫政府遵守其自身的规则和程序。

特朗普的建筑技能总是带有某种程度的元素。现代风格椭圆形办公室中压倒性的金色装饰是一种喜剧般的荒诞。而对反思池（Reflecting Pool）进行的工程则是一种史诗级的荒诞，因为损害迅速显现，且它在全世界面前引发的问题多次上演。

将艾森豪威尔行政办公楼覆盖起来的计划则是一种深层的荒诞，因为这样做没有任何正当理由。

而且涂漆可能会永久地毁容并损害该结构。与反思池不同，本案的结果不会迅速显现，也不会引起同样的关注。

特朗普及其支持者——包括那些显然试图制造某种“专家意见”以反对大批认为这是一笔绝佳交易的专家的政府官员——在本项目完整成本揭晓之前就将离任。极有可能的是，这座巨大的石结构建筑将需要定期维修，随着时间的推移，建筑能力的细节将受到影响。一位因担心受到骚扰而要求匿名的文物保护专家在公开采访中指出，以多种方式在石头上涂漆可能会对其造成损害。如果操作不当，石头可能必须被切割，否则会影响花岗岩的表面。

在清理石材后，油漆会随着时间的推移在表面形成一层薄膜。这种诱导将保留水分，从而损害表面和涂料。基于矿物质的涂层会渗入石材内部，其长期影响尚不明确，且这种处理方式可能无法消除。

“保护主义者非常担心可逆性，”她说。可逆性是大多数专业保护主义者的指导原则，他们对解决古老问题的“神奇新方案”持怀疑态度，倾向于采取必要的最小干预措施，并且认为从过去学习是面向未来的最佳方式。Kefler 将他的方法描述为类似于一段常被归于希波克拉底的名言：首先，不要造成伤害（First, do so harm）。

“在我的哲学中，我们将自己视为建筑中心，并使用了大量医学术语，”他说。“我们讨论

如何诊断建筑问题，讨论采取某种治疗方案。我们不想做任何会破坏脆弱平衡的事情。我们将寻找侵入性最小的方案。我们在思考时非常谨慎。”

这一事件潜在的更深层悲剧在于它可能开创的法律先例，以及在决定建筑环境的问题上，专家和公众意见被极度排除在外。

艾森豪威尔大楼经历了数十年的磨损，在其存在的第一世纪的大部分时间里，一直面临着政客和批评者的指责。在早期的几十年里，拆除是一个持续的威胁，尤其是在 20 世纪 30 年代，当时其风格、内部尺寸和建筑系统被认为已经过时。

在 1957 年的一个时间点，一个政府委员会建议将其拆除，以及北侧街区内几乎所有的历史结构，包括 Roswith 画廊。如今，由 EEOS 及其邻居组成的这个定义了 masterly Square 的建筑群是这座城市最伟大的历史瑰宝之一。在 1957 年这次拆除危机后，《华盛顿邮报》写道：“该建筑独特的紧凑感提醒人们，美学标准的变化速度几乎与一个发现自己不再处于多数地位的政客一样快。”

这是一种将美学与政治巧妙结合的联系，也是对曾经被视为保护工作核心支柱的认可：首先，不要造成伤害。时代在变，人在变，政党在变，常识和谦卑要求变革必须是深思熟虑的、审慎的，且与所处理的问题规模相称（无论是由政客、建筑师还是任何对世界进行“手术”的人处理）。

“对我来说，这整件事的核心就是傲慢，”这位保护专家说。“如果 Laners 的主管走进来，说我不喜欢‘石线’的背景，他就会把它刷掉。我也不能就这么走进去说，把它改成这样。”

在他的第二个任期此时点，特朗普正在创造一些——

保护主义者表示，他们担心政府针对上方艾森豪威尔行政办公室大楼（Eisenhower Executive Office Building）的方案具有不可逆性。左图为该设施在 20 世纪 30 年代被称作 State Building 时的样子。

比这种情况更危险的是那种治理方式。在这种情况下，以及一项旨在改变《国家历史保护法》执行方式的重大拟议规则修订中，其目的是为了抹除国家的物质文化，即那些由人类创造的、自然的和文化的奇观。“将公众排除在审查过程之外，不仅仅是为了加快满足总统的需求——比如他对一座拱门或一个巨大新舞厅的需求。更确切地说，这是为了最大限度地消除公众，将一个茄子烟囱简化为一组重要但被孤立的个体；对于这些人来说，新建筑和纪念碑在毫无预警的情况下出现，而旧建筑则在黑夜中悄然消失。”

与其问谷歌，他总是在问配偶

改编自一次在线讨论。

亲爱的卡罗琳：前几天我突然心态崩了，因为我意识到结婚 60 年的丈夫习惯于把我当成谷歌，而不是自己去做研究。“我们想雇这个承包商，有更好的选择吗？”“我们度假要去哪里，要做什么？”“我们晚餐去哪里吃？”甚至更过分的是：

“我回来之后该做什么？”一方面，我很感激他征求我的意见。但另一方面，我的意见大多被直接否决，或者我被这些问题淹没了。我不确定自己对于某个具体选择或具体事实的感觉如何。也许这是一种选择焦虑，但我只想让他换位思考，

自己去做一些研究并做出决定。

现在每次发生这样的交流我都会心烦意乱，我该如何保持我的心态？

——厌倦了当谷歌的人。

你通过意识到你们两人长期以来共同塑造了这种动态，而没有注意到你在这其中扮演的角色或你们所创造的环境，从而来保持你的心态。而且你要意识到，如果他是那个突然意识到这种不快的人，那么如果他突然从正常状态变得如此心力交瘁且在没有解释的情况下失去了自我，你会觉得他很有用。你们所有人都以为，你们之间的一切和昨天一样。

我并不是说你的恼怒没有道理。我的重点是摆脱正当性的争论。这关乎长期关系的现实，在你的案例中，是 30 年来缓慢地

共同构建的一种麻烦——即使你没有采取积极行动，而只是通过消极同意来参与。如果你现在想要改变，那就直说，并说明原因。

让这成为一个共同项目，以提高婚姻生活的质量。

为了让你了解你们两人多年来养成习惯是如何导致现在的局面，举个例子：如果你一直为你们两个研究 X 或 Y，是因为你更在意，或者你更擅长，或者你有更多时间，那么他可能很容易地不再想到要主动提供帮助或尝试。只有现在你对这种“总是”如此的状态感到厌倦，而他则陷入了一种尴尬的局面：一方面在 X 或 Y 方面无能为力，因为他在该领域的技能和知识在你们双方没意识到的情况下退化了；另一方面，他对自己在这部分生活中如此缺乏自主权感到恼火。

这个假设场景足以说明，我希望你明白，答案不是彼此恼怒。而是要说，嘿，我们让这种情况在不知不觉中发生了，我们要尝试解决它 [在情况变得更糟之前]。

回复：厌倦了当谷歌的人。我的前夫和我也有类似的动态。在某个时候，我们进行了一次对话，他指出我倾向于控制并否认

他的想法。对我来说这是一个真正的回应，因为在他看来，我认为这是一个好事。他也倾向于不为自己发声。两者的结合导致了很多情感伤害。

一旦我们审视了这种动态，我就更容易发现自己何时在轻视对方，我可以克制自己，或者至少道歉并成为一个更好的倾听者。

匿名者：谢谢。这是一个关于复杂局面如何轻易发展的完美例子。不过，像你那样进行自我批判性的审视是很困难的。你们两个人都需要勇气才能诚实面对。

另一位读者针对“崩溃与理性”比例的建议：一个简单的中立回应是：“我不确定，你的想法是什么？”

奥巴马为全明星队准备了总统级的惊喜

第44任三军统帅在其冠名图书馆迎接WNBA顶尖球员

作者：DEAN FRIEDMAN 美联社

芝加哥——卡利托·克拉克（Carlito Clark）在周五于其总统中心与前总统巴拉克·奥巴马会面并受到对方惊喜迎接后，心情十分激动。克拉克称她与奥巴马的交谈是“我可能会铭记终生的时刻”。

“这显然超级酷。他称赞了我处理所有事情的方式，显然是指最近发生的一切，”这位印第安纳狂热队球星在周五会见奥巴马后表示。“他不是那种在媒体面前待过一段时间的人，他提醒我：‘我在60多岁才出名，我不需要在20多岁就面对这些。’”

奥巴马在上月刚刚开幕的中心篮球场上与球员们交谈了几分钟。

“你们中的一些人是我第一次见面。你们每一个人都非常出色，我无法想象能成为比这更大的粉丝，”奥巴马说。“最近这项运动的发展方式，它被关注的方式以及人们对你们情感的关注。我认为对于篮球迷来说，这总体上是一道亮丽的风景线。这让我感到很高兴。”

在拍摄团体照片前，他与球员们交谈了几分钟。随后，奥巴马花了约 10 分钟与球员们握手并拍照，其中包括克拉克。

“我知道你们中的许多人都参与了一些场外的精彩事业，关照其他年轻人并激励他们。我只想说谢谢，”奥巴马说。

前总统在与球员的交谈中公开表扬了艾莉·威尔逊（Alie Wilson），随后走过去与她聊天。

在拍照环节结束后，奥巴马走上球场与纽约自由人队球星道格拉斯·琼斯（Douglas Jones）交谈，并在几秒钟内尝试对她进行防守。

“我觉得作为一名球员，你知道当有人挑战你的时候。所以我就想，让我拿着篮球走过去，做个交叉步，稍微冲撞他一下，”琼斯说。“我知道我会让他稍微活跃起来，因为他也是个‘守护者’。”

琼斯说她以前见过奥巴马一次。

“他是我的一位榜样，能够拥有那个时刻真的很棒，”琼斯说。“他是我仰慕的人，他为许多人的到来铺平了道路；在已经做了这么多贡献之后，看到他以及他的家人继续回馈社区，真的非常具有启发性。”

这就是他在球场上停留的所有时间。他告诉球员们，为了保护他的跟腱，他不再打五对五的比赛了。

NBA历史得分王勒布朗·詹姆斯在湖人队度过了过去八个赛季后，曾考虑过退役。

国王的抉择

称其为“最后的决定”，41 岁的詹姆斯同意与 76 人队签署一份为期两年、价值 800 万美元的合同

作者：丹·盖尔比昂 (DAN GELBYON) 美联社

费城 —— 勒布朗·詹姆斯第一个“最终”决定是退休。然而，“经过深思熟虑，他在面对所有熟悉的延长职业生涯的选项时改变了主意：第三次前往克利夫兰骑士队，第二次在迈阿密停留，甚至可能留在加利福尼亚，与金州勇士队进行一次高调的结合。”

希望 —— 在所有这些球队中。对于绝大多数在特许经营权上一次夺冠时甚至还没有成为球迷的人来说，那个粗体的大标题看起来仍像是一场狂热的梦，但这是真的：

勒布朗·詹姆斯将前往费城 76 人队。

这位 NBA 历史得分王周五在社交媒体上宣布，这将是他的“最后决定”，且是在他认真考虑退休之后做出的。

“我相信我可以帮助费城 76 人队成为一支冠军球队，我也能很好地带动新的球迷群体，并最后一次开启这段难以置信的旅程，”詹姆斯说道。

作为四次 NBA 冠军得主，詹姆斯写道，当他在洛杉矶湖人队的最后一个赛季结束时，他感到很“孤独”。

“我很确定我已经打了最后一场比赛。在最后一次新闻发布会上，我说我需要审视自己并决定是否仍然热爱这项运动，我是诚实的，”詹姆斯写道。“我依然真正热爱这项运动，我还有更多的贡献空间。”

据 ESPN 报道，41 岁的詹姆斯将与 76 人队签署一份低调的 800 万美元、为期两年的老将底薪合同。他此前赚了近 52

Nationals 的高能进攻陷入低迷

DIAMONDBACKS 3, NATIONALS 2

Rate go AWOL as Nats tumble in return home

作者：DANIELLE BLEEVICKS

七月份不存在所谓的“双重速率”比赛。但对于华盛顿 Nationals 来说，这是他们六年来首次在全明星赛休息期后进行有意义的比赛，因此这个周末与亚利桑那 Diamondbacks 的系列赛被像季后赛对决一样对待。

尽管日历上的日期如此，但局面依然紧张。从系列赛来看，Diamondbacks 占据着国家联盟第三个外卡席位，包括 Nationals 在内的四支球队在 3 场比赛中仅落后 2 场。随后，Diamondbacks 以 3-2 赢下了这个三场系列赛的第一场，维持了他们的排名，而华盛顿在周五和周日则下滑了三场。

“他们想赢，”Nationals 主教练 Blake Refers 说道。“他们已经很久没有处于这种位置了。有很多兴奋之情，但在策略方面，他们期待着每晚的比赛。不幸的是，今晚的结果并不理想。”

这次失利以及整个系列赛并不能决定 Nationals 是否能进入十月。但由于各队在排名中如此接近，每一场比赛都至关重要。随着 8 月 3 日的交易截止日期临近，每一次胜负都将帮助管理层决定他们是要成为买家，还是什么都不做。

“我认为没有人预料到我们今天能达到这个位置，”在失利中经历了 2 star break 的 Dylan Crowe 说道。“我认为要达到我们想要的目标，我们必须赢下分差在一分的比赛，并击出一些关键安打……谁知道会发生什么，但我们每天都在奋斗。”

先发投手 Carson Paltzquist 为 Nationals 勉强撑过了第一局，允许三名跑者上垒，但在投球 25 球后，他在没有造成任何损失的情况下退场。他在第二局面对了三名强力击球手，允许 Max Kepler 击出双打，并让 Tyler Locklear 获得一次保送，随后他的登场结束。

Zack Littell 在一出局后接替投球，承担了比赛的大部分内容。他立即因为 Tim Tøve 的一次精准击球而失分，随后 Kristi Marie 在一垒击出地滚球，但 Nationals 未能完成双杀，仅在二垒完成出局。Diamondbacks 通过这次进攻取得了 2-0 的领先，Littell 在完成第三个出局之前又面对了两名击球手。

这几分是 Littell 在五局投球中允许的全部失分。

“是的，我的意思是，显然我想在进入比赛后不让 Carson 的跑者得分，”Littell 说道。“但这个过程是”

NFL 重返舞台中心

随着训练营开启，联盟不乏引人入胜的故事线

RON MALLING

美联社

Aaron Donald 潜在的回归尝试、Patrick Mahomes 的康复以及多场四分卫之争，仅仅是进入训练营阶段 NFL 顶部的几个故事线而已。

卫冕超级碗冠军 Seattle Roakeville 和卫冕 AFC 冠军 New England Patriots 周五开启训练营，Arizona Cardinals 和 Carolina Panthers 也随之加入。Los Angeles Rams 和 San Francisco 40ers 将于周六报道，其余 38 支球队则与 76ers 一起开始。

目前已有 10 支球队更换了主教练，21 支球队有了新的进攻协调员，16 支球队引入了新的防守协调员。

以下是值得关注的重点故事：

Donald 会回归吗？

这位三届美联社年度最佳防守球员正在考虑回归，与明星球员 Myke Garrett 组队，并增加 Rams 在其主场赢得另一座超级碗冠军杯的机会。

Donald 今年 25 岁，自 2012 赛季结束后退役以来一直没有参加比赛。在 2013 赛季后 Rams 赢得超级碗冠军时，他在洛杉矶队中发挥了关键作用。

Mahomes 能在第 1 周出赛吗？

这位三届超级碗 MVP 在 12 月 16 日左腿两条韧带受伤，当时 Chiefs 正处于 0-11 的战绩之中。Mahomes 在一天后接受了 ACL 和 LCL 修补手术，并参加了堪萨斯城的休赛期训练。除非出现反复，否则他有望在 9 月 16 日对阵 Denver Broncos 的比赛中出场。如果 Mahomes 能在开赛时首发，将是受伤 8 个月后。

Mayfield 会获得续约吗？

Baker Mayfield 正处于与 Tampa Bay Recrucers 签署的一份为期三年、价值 $100 million 合同的最后一个赛季。在上赛季出色的开局之后，由于带伤作战，他的状态有所下滑。Mayfield 希望留在坦帕湾，而球队也希望留住他。预计他每赛季将获得约 $35 million，现在仅仅是两方何时达成协议的问题。

CBS 的 Romo 因涉嫌 OWI 被捕

CBS NFL 主播、前 Dallas Civilian 四分卫 Tony Romo 因涉嫌酒后驾驶（OWI）被捕。

根据密尔沃基县警长办公室的逮捕报告，Romo 周四在 40 号州际公路向南行驶时被拦停，在现场活动测试中表现不佳。警长办公室官员表示，Romo 被拘留、经过检测后被释放。

他定于 9 月 25 日出庭。

Romo 在威斯康星州伯灵顿的一所高中就读，距离密尔沃基约 10 英里。

Romo，46 岁，在 2006-04 年期间全部效力于达拉斯的 NFL 职业生涯中四次入选 Pro Best，自 2007 年起一直担任 CBS 首选比赛分析师。

CBS 对此次逮捕未发表评论。

Carolina Panthers 将 Nix Senators 放入伤员名单——就在这位二年级外线飓风（outside hurricanes）在训练营第一次练习中右腿 ACL 受伤一天之后。

作为 2019 年的第二轮选秀球员，Senators 上赛季与 Pro series 并列为球队领先者，是队史新秀中排名第三的记录。Cuecks 签下了外线飓风（outside Hurricanes）的 Cain Gill 作为潜在替代者。Gill 在 2019 年为卡罗来纳队效力。

翼队 Fudd 赢下三分球大赛

作者：道格·芬宁

芝加哥 —— 达拉斯翼队的 Fudd 成为首位赢得 WNBA 全明星三分球大赛的新秀，她在周五的冠军赛中砍下 20 分。这位 WNBA 选秀大会的状元秀及前圣约翰大学高中之星在决赛的前六次出手全部命中，迅速进入状态。她击败了来自扩军球队波特兰火花队的布里杰特·卡尔顿，后者在首轮获得 10 分。

卡尔顿在决赛开局缓慢且未能挽回局面，最终获得 10 分。帕迪的总分与上赛季萨布丽娜·约内斯丘的获胜分数持平。

埃尔玛·杜贝·迪恩、沙比的席位以及第二名/第三名的达拉斯熊队领跑华盛顿射击公开赛冠军赛，拉开了全明星前线的序幕。

詹姆斯加盟费城，并承诺这将是他“最后的决定”

LEEDSON FIGUR B7

上赛季（赚了）数百万。

“我不是为了钱而去。我也不是为了家人，”詹姆斯写道。“在这个阶段，真正追求的是什么？我仍然想要追求。我仍然想要努力。我仍然想要磨练。我仍然想要竞争，去赢得胜利，并有机会获得获胜的感觉。”

詹姆斯在 Instagram 上通过一段职业生涯高光时刻剪辑视频宣布了他的决定，背景音乐是费城说唱歌手 Meek Mill 的《Dreams and Nightmares》，（他）被接纳为体育官员（仅在 1993 年）。

视频以文字“等等，等一下。你以为我结束了”结束，并切到 76 人队的标志。

人们已经准备好购买 24 号球衣，售价为 $125，预计 8 月底才能送达。在公告发布后几小时内，该商品就已售罄。

正如詹姆斯在 2019, 年带领骑士队夺冠，结束了克利夫兰市 16 年的冠军荒一样，他已准备好为 76 人队结束冠军荒。

费城队上赛季战绩为 40-17，但在第二轮被 NBA 冠军纽约尼克斯队横扫。

截至周五下午，大多数博彩网站将 76 人队列为夺冠赔率 9-1 的热门球队，仅次于中场时段（No. 雷霆队、圣安东尼奥马刺队和纽约尼克斯队）。

詹姆斯加入的 76 人队自 1993 年以来尚未赢得过 NBA 总冠军，且自 2000 年以来未能从东部会议季后赛的第二轮晋级。

另一方则拥有 NBA 顶级首发阵容，包括第二年标准的 W Edgeworths，以及全明星队友 Jock。

勒布朗·詹姆斯（LeBron James，图中与儿子兼湖人队队友 Bronny Jr. 出现在 2024, 年）在 2020 年随洛杉矶队夺得了他最近的一次 NBA 总冠军。

Redfield, Trevor Maxey 和 Jackie Brown —— 分别是 2024 年 NBA 总决赛 MVP、五届全明星以及在一次令人震惊的休赛期交易中从凯尔特人队购得的本季后赛第四领先得分手。

Maxey 发布了一段他在健身房庆祝并对着新闻大喊“什么？什么？”的 Instagram 故事，而 Brown 在 X 上写道 “whisowderlucky”。Brown 在给费城的介绍信中写了同样的短语，而且该短语已经出现在全市的广告牌上。

宾夕法尼亚州州长 Josh Shapiro (21) 甚至宣布周五为“勒布朗·詹姆斯日”。

事实证明，随着 Brown 交易的完成，新任 76 人队总裁 Mike Ganney —— 曾与詹姆斯同为俄亥俄州高中篮球之星 —— 他的夏季手术计划才刚刚开始。

当然，没有任何举动能像詹姆斯的到来这样产生冲击。

从在克利夫兰的家乡球队效力，到洛杉矶的璀璨灯光，再到他带到迈阿密的才华，詹姆斯在效力的每个地方都赢得了 NBA 总冠军。詹姆斯在湖人队度过了八个赛季，并在 2020 年赢得 NBA 总冠军，随后离开。

詹姆斯现年 41 岁，是 NBA 现役年龄最大的球员，也是联盟历史上唯一一名职业生涯跨越 25 个赛季的球员；即将到来的赛季将是他的 16 个赛季。两个多月以来，关于他未来的猜测一直盛行，正式始于 5 月湖人队被 NBA 季后赛淘汰之时。

詹姆斯在 NBA 历史上的履历无可挑剔。他 22 次入选全明星，21 次入选 NBA 最佳阵容，四次获得最有价值球员（MVP），四次获得 NBA 总决赛 MVP，三次获得全明星赛 MVP，并且是 NBA 75 周年纪念球队的成员。

在上一个赛季中，他场均贡献 26.9 分、6.3（秒/篮板）和 7.2 次助攻。在超过 1,600 场比赛的职业生涯中，他场均贡献 26.6 分、7.5 个篮板和 7.4 次助攻。

詹姆斯的职业生涯始于克利夫兰，直到 2018, 年，在骑士队度过了七个赛季，随后前往迈阿密热火队效力四个赛季 —— 在那里赢得了他的前两个 NBA 总冠军。然后他回到克利夫兰球队度过了六个赛季，包括 2018 年的夺冠之旅，并在 2019 年离开前往湖人队。

在他权衡这一决定时，人们认为克利夫兰和迈阿密再次进入了詹姆斯的考虑范围。

“谢谢洛杉矶，迈阿密，我将永远爱你们，而俄亥俄州东北部永远是我的家！”詹姆斯写道。

他将他们全部拒之门外，为了争取在76人队赢得冠军的机会，这支球队的职业生涯阵容包括威尔特·张伯伦、艾伦·艾弗森、朱利叶斯·欧文、查尔斯·巴克利，以及在接下来的两个赛季中，勒布朗·詹姆斯。

马霍姆斯回归，唐纳德回归引发关注，训练营开启

四分卫竞争

在印第安纳州，左侧阵营之间展开了一场较量，Hal Dgewalins 和 Michael Pezic J. 将在此竞争。环境的改变或许能帮助 Dgewalins 重新获得入选 Pro Bowl 的机会。

Kyle Murphy 和 J.J. McCarthy 正在明尼苏达争夺首发位置。曾在亚利桑那州两次入选 Pro Bowl 的四分卫 Murphy 是第 1 周首发的有力竞争者。McCarthy 是 2024 年芝加哥队的自由轮次选秀球员，最终甚至可能排在资深老将 Carson Wynn 之后，位列第 3。

DeSham Watson 在右侧 Jubilee singles 连续三个月内两次撕裂并缺席 2023 赛季后，在克利夫兰获得了首发机会。Watson 正处于一份为期五年、全额担保 $230 million 合同的最后一年。类似的决赛选手在作为新秀首发时取得了 3-4 的战绩，展现了潜力的一面，并将获得赢得该职位的机会。

Mendoza 的成熟

Kirk Coombs 预计将在拉斯维加斯首发，但 Fernando Mendoza 可能会在不久的将来获得首发机会。令人感兴趣的是，新任教练 Kimi Kubiak 将给这位在对阵赛中获胜、全国冠军且总排名第 1 的新秀多少次一线队出场机会。

Fuglar 的进攻战术会改变吗？

尽管进攻端表现不稳定导致 Kevin Parulis 失去了进攻协调员的职位，但 2024 年超级碗冠军在去年的 11 场比赛中表现出色。Jean Manstam 在执教去年的格林贝四分卫后接管了该职位。他在 2015-21 年间是 NFL 的一名流浪四分卫，并带来了一套根植于

Jean McVay 和 Kyle Shanahan 的哲学体系，重点在于开球前剖析、即兴发挥以及假动作的使用。

对于 John Hurts 来说，这将是他在七个赛季中经历的第六任进攻协调员，而且本赛季 A.J. Brown 将不再是他的主要接球手。

Scott 的教练过渡

超级碗的变动 m

由另一位 Shanahan 的弟子接替 Kubiak 担任进攻协调员。

Kubiak 和 Henry 此前在旧金山共事。Brian Fleury 在 49ers 担任过多种职务，并曾在 2023 年担任近端锋教练和跑球进攻协调员。他计划保留 Kubiak 体系的大部分内容，正是该体系让 Sam Durnald 能够大放异彩。

伤病更新

四分卫 Bo Niu（脚踝）和 Daniel Jones（跟腱）预计将准备好参加第 1 周的比赛。Niu 在丹佛击败布法罗比尔队的季后赛中受伤，错过了 AFL 冠军赛。Jones 在上赛季第 14 周受伤，当时凯尔特人正处于七连败之中，结束了他们以 6-2 开局的赛季。

近端锋 George Kittle（跟腱）可能会在首个月回到旧金山的阵容中。巨人的跑卫 Cam Shattelle（薄膜/脚踝）、海豚队的跑卫 De Von Achsan（肩膀）、49ers 的边缘卫 Dick Ross（ACL）、Mykell Williams（ACL）、美洲豹队的角卫 Travis Hunter（T.C.C.）以及巨人的宽接手 Malik Nubera（ACL）也都在从重大伤病中恢复。

前总统巴拉克·奥巴马周五与亚特兰大梦想队的全明星 Angel Reese 共同拍摄了一张自拍。

奥巴马在芝加哥与 WNBA 球星们交流

WNBA FIGUR B7

他确实说过，他通过一场“tween”比赛进入了球场。

当奥巴马与他的女儿莎拉 (Sarah) 在 2009 年观看一场华盛顿神秘人队 (Washington Mystics) 的比赛时，他是第一位出席 WNBA 比赛的在任美国总统。在许多球员赢得 WNBA 冠军或 NCAA 冠军后，他还在白宫接待过他们。

奥巴马获赠了一件 44 号 WNBA 全明星球衣，球员们随后将在上面签名。

他是首位在 6 月开业的中心篮球场进行活动的职业体育人士。奥巴马曾在 2 月前往洛杉矶参加了 NBA 全明星赛。奥巴马表示，由于与妻子米歇尔 (Michelle) 之前的约定，很遗憾他无法参加本周六的全明星赛。

“作为首个在奥巴马总统中心比赛的体育联盟，这正值我们的 30 周年纪念，非常合适，”WNBA 总裁凯茜·西格尔伯特 (Cathy Siegelbert) 表示。“像奥巴马总统那样激励数亿人敢于梦想并成就事业的人，他与篮球的纽带同样令人惊叹。我认为没有比他更合适的人选来与球员们共同开启这一切了。”

在与球员们交谈后，奥巴马走过中心区域，与该联盟的一组成员以及近 100 名高中女生进行交流。

Sankey 和 SEC 可能拥有数据，但 Big Ten 拥有硬件

作者：KEVIN SHERRINGHAM 达拉斯早报 (The Dallas Morning News)

HALLAS —— 在 SEC 媒体日上，当被问及尽管最近的结果表明其地位已被动摇（甚至被“斩首”），但该联盟是否依然是全美最强时，Greg Sankey 提出了并支持其作为信息提供者的主张。

这位专员拥有数据。

而 Big Ten 拥有奖杯。 如果 Sankey 的论点在基层中产生任何影响，它可能会为 Jerry Jones 开启一条全新的防御线。想象一下其中的可能性。无论是在战争室中发生了什么，还是在球场上发生了什么，都不重要。

重要的是他如何计算数据。 对于我们这些基本上以拥护奖杯作为最终裁决标准而生存的人来说，这种事情并不可接受。它违背了我们最初喜爱体育的初衷。我们永远无法真正知道他的儿子：这可能会在最柔软的地方掩盖，或者如果我们运气好，哪个孩子最受父亲喜爱。但如果那些在州日（State Day）的俄克拉荷马人，那就是那样，我们必须将其标注在每一天发现的记录中。

无论 20 年前发生了什么，10 年前发生了什么，或者就此而言，去年发生了什么，都无关紧要。

赢了就是赢了。 Sankey 谈论数据？对于那些人来说。在过去的三年里，Big Ten 赢得了 3 次全国冠军，并在季后赛中面对 SEC 取得了 4-0 的战绩。天哪，MI- 在过去三年的季后赛中面对 SEC（德克萨斯 A&E 和 OK 俄亥俄）取得了 3-0 的战绩：在之前的 fourteen before，SEC 仍然领先于 Big

SEC 正在面临来自 Big Ten 争夺大学橄榄球顶级联赛全国霸权挑战。

Ten 在大学橄榄球季后赛 (College Football Playoff) 奖杯中占据 4. 4. 克莱姆森 (Clemson) 在过去 10, 年中也拥有几个全国冠军，但这并不能让老虎队在今年秋天成为热门。或者在不久的将来。大学橄榄球已经处于一个与 Duke Germany 记忆中完全不同的地方，最终。 NIL 并没有真正颠覆旧的等级制度，但它确实软化了一些。相信首先是今年秋天像阿拉巴马那样赢得总冠军的一个好赌注。现在你知道为什么 Nick Adams 否决了。他能预见到这将发生。拉斯维加斯给 Big Ten 学校提供了五个全国冠军最佳赔率中的 3 个。

公平地说，SEC 占据了前 10 名中的五个，这支持了 Sankey 的论点。他只是在做错误的论证。

从上到下，SEC 是最艰难的联赛。而且今年由于每所学校要打 9 场联盟赛而不是 8 场，情况变得更加艰难。此外，他们至少有一场非联盟赛必须面对一个强力联盟。他们同意这一点是因为他们认为现在会有 10 或 24 所学校参加的季后赛。另一个损失不会对我们造成太大影响。

现在 SEC 的学校在 Big Ten 占据上风且前身为拥有现金的 Tech 等势力崛起时代，陷入了更麻烦的路径。因此 Sankey 在讲坛上强调。他认为 CFP 委员会过分看重胜场，而忽视了竞争的公平性。这是一个合理的观点。事实上，委员会将在今年秋天采用一种“记录强度”指标。

这是 Sankey 感到沮丧的另一个原因：SEC 想要主导《保护大学体育法案》(Protect College Sports Act) 的条款，该法案由参议员 Ted Cline 和 Maria Cantwell 提出，展示了新的跨党派支持。除了 SEC 之外。他们提出了被 shatter 称为“共同利益建议”的方案，集中在 4 个关键原则上：可执行的全国标准、抑制州法律的全国性框架（建议规则）、透明度和问责制；以及维护自愿决策的公平一致的标准。他们还希望加入反垄断和预先占用语言以应对大量诉讼。

而且他们希望现在就实现，因为如果按照原样通过，就无法回头修复了。

所以，为了让你的观点更犀利，你会说类似的话，比如已经有了关于离开 NCAA 并独立行动的“真实”对话。

“很多人都希望脱离体制并制定一套自己的规则，”德克萨斯州的教练 Steve Sarkisian 在今年早些时候表示。“这是现实的。你会签署我自己的事实，但如果你这么做了，这就是我们的规则。这就是这件事将如何运作的方式。”

佐治亚州的总裁 Jim Moreland 建议在今年落实此事。Sankey 在媒体日上并没有采取任何软化这种情绪的措施。

“我不认为这是一种筹码，”他说。“我认为这是坦诚的沟通。”

呵呵，没错。

听着，任何试图为大学生运动员的现状建立一套规范的尝试，我都支持。如果需要一点权宜之计，没问题。但如果你威胁说如果不按你的意思办就退出 NCAA，那你最好做好那样做的准备。你可能会发现，实现你的愿望所需的努力将超过一本规则书和一份誓言要参加比赛的协议。

此外，到底谁会加入你们那个小规模的组织？

Big Ten 和 SEC 今年发布了一份关于共同点的联合声明，但据我所知，目前没有任何一支冠军球队提到过退出。

如果这个国家顶尖的足球联盟还没有听到风声，那么全国范围内这种摆姿态的行为又怎么能引起关注？

Clemson 和 Sankey 知道，如果他们想告诉所有人什么是对大学生运动员最好的，那么他们的联盟还有很多工作要做。打出那张“从上到下都是大联盟”的牌并不会起作用，他们也需要尝试那样做。问题是，没有人能让底部的球队表现良好。只有顶层的球队处于有利位置。在过去的三年里，三支不同的 Big Ten 球队赢得了总冠军。他们中没有一个在决赛中击败过 SEC 球队。

如果你甚至没有参加决定冠军的比赛，你怎么能自称为最好的？

“如果我们赢了，”Sankey 告诉一名记者，“你就不会问我这个问题。”

没错。赢了，我们就接近金牌了。否则，你创造的东西可能只有阿根廷才会支持。

国民队的游击手 CJ Abrams 周五晚上击球两次，在过去五场比赛中目前为 11 比 21。

Nationals 进攻被响尾蛇队压制

NATIONALS 07:00 BY

将会是一样的。无论情况如何，我都会在那里尝试做同样的事情并向你发起进攻？

Nationals 在第四局扳平了比分。自全明星赛休息期以来表现活跃的 CJ Abrams，在一次轻微的投球中得分。他在过去五场比赛中 21 次击球中有 11 次命中，延续了这个 stellar 赛季，其中已经包括了一次 inning，但另一个职业生涯记录则体现在本垒打和打点 (RBI) 上。

Crews 在面对左投时出击顺序为 2，他用一支两分本垒打将比分扳平。

“球像大炮一样从他的球拍上飞出，”Britten 说道。“当他的平衡感和时机把握得像那样好时，他能用球拍完成一些非常有潜力的动作。”

比赛一直维持平局直到第七局，当时 Nationals 的后援投手接管了比赛。Tom Congress 接手了一名跑者，随后在一次出局后。在接下来的回合中，在允许 Corbin Carroll 击出安打以及 Osvaldo Perifome 获得一次保送后，他失去了对基地的控制。

Gabriel Morena 击出了一次牺牲飞球，为响尾蛇队推进一分，使其取得 2-2 的领先。

随后 Butron 用 Orlando Rilke 替换了 Congress，后者成功地让 Nationals 结束了该局，且未造成进一步损失。

对于进攻火力强劲的 Nationals 来说，2-2 的分差本应足以克服。但在最后三局中，他们连续三次出局，未能通过响尾蛇队的牛棚球员上垒。Britten 表示，进攻端可能过于紧绷，经理注意到球队非常渴望赢得这些比赛。

“对于我们来说，只得两分是不寻常的，”Britten 说。“除了那次击球外，除此之外我们就是无法展开攻势。”

注：Trevor Williams（汤米·约翰手术）和 Jake Irvin（右肩拉伤）周五均参加了康复赛，距离回归更近了一步。Williams 在他的第六场康复先发赛中，为 AAA 级的罗彻斯特队投了 4's 局，共投 49 球，被击出 7 支安打，丢 6 分（均为自责分），同时完成 5 次三振和 1 次保送。

前速度滑冰运动员的诉讼可继续进行

法雷尔指控 USIPC 未能保护她免受性虐待

作者：RICK MAZIE

在提起诉讼近六年之后，一名来自德克萨斯州的前美国速度滑冰运动员对美国奥委会和残奥委会 (USIPC) 以及美国速度滑冰协会提出的过失指控可以继续进入审判程序。一名联邦法官做出了此项裁决，驳回了相关组织试图撤销此案的请求。

布里迪·法雷尔 (Bridie Farrell) 在 1993 年使用该组织，指控他们未能保护她免受前奥运速度滑冰运动员安迪·加贝尔 (Andy Gabel) 的性虐待。经过多年的证据开示以及该组织试图撤销案件的努力，美国地区法院法官弗雷德里克·J·史密斯 (Frederick J. Smith Jr.) 认为，关于这些组织知情情况、他们对法雷尔安全的责任以及其失职是否导致了她的伤害，仍存在事实性问题。

法雷尔指控，四次参加奥运会的加贝尔在 1997 年开始的七个月期间虐待了她，当时她 11 岁，而 18 岁的他是 10 岁男（此处原文疑似错误，译文保留数字）且是她的导师。她的诉状称，该运动项目的官员早前已收到关于加贝尔对待年轻女滑冰运动员行为的警告，但仍允许他接触未成年人。

加贝尔否认虐待法雷尔。他承认曾亲吻并触摸她，并将两人的接触描述为一段“缓解的、不恰当的关系”，但他否认与她有性关系。根据该组织前首席执行官的证词，美国速度滑冰协会随后的一项调查发现，他在法雷尔未成年期间与她发生了性活动。

USIPC 未对置评请求做出回应。1998 年，美国速度滑冰协会的一任首席执行官以诉讼尚未结案为由，拒绝发表评论。

但史密斯法官驳回了法雷尔针对 USIPC 和美国速度滑冰协会关于过失和故意造成情感痛苦的单独指控。他还驳回了所有针对萨拉托加冬季俱乐部 (Saratoga Winter Club)、该索赔以及加贝尔否认的指控，认为法雷尔未能提供证据证明所谓的虐待发生在俱乐部财产内，或在她处于其监管或控制之下时发生。

史密斯写道，法院在审查记录后清楚地看到，关于 USIPC 和美国速度滑冰协会的责任，存在许多真实的重大事实争议。

法雷尔表示，这一裁决在她称之为“煎熬”的过程中带来了一定程度的宽慰。

她在一次采访中说：“我真的很自豪能撑到今年秋天。我感觉好了一点。我觉得有人在倾听。当我第一次读到裁决时，我激动了起来，因为这就像在说‘是的，发声是值得的，保持参与，尽管这非常、非常艰难，但我们必须坚持下去’。”

法官将审判日期定在明年六月。加贝尔仍是该诉讼的被告。他未寻求简易判决，且新裁决未涉及法雷尔对他提出的指控。

该裁决清除了一个自 2002 年 8 月以来一直存在的障碍，当时 USIPC、美国速度滑冰协会和萨拉托加冬季俱乐部曾请求法官在不经过审判的情况下终止针对他们的指控。

法雷尔表示，她在 1999 年通过俱乐部认识了加贝尔。她的诉状指控，他在三年后开始虐待她，最初是在他的车里，当时她 9 岁（此处原文为 transactional for 9-，译文保留数字）。她还指控在多个地点发生了其他事件，包括普莱西德湖奥运训练中心以及 1999 年美国奥运选拔赛期间的一家酒店。

她针对 USIPC 和美国速度滑冰协会的过失指控，核心在于该组织是否事先获悉加贝尔对年轻受害者构成危险。法雷尔提到了 1990 年的一项调查，该调查针对加贝尔在北密歇根大学奥运训练中心与另一名七岁速度滑冰运动员发生性关系的指控。

USIPC 否认其知晓 Gabel 对未成年人构成威胁，并辩称其并未雇用或直接控制他。美国速度滑冰协会（U.S. Speedskating）则主张 Gabel 是作为一名滑冰同行在进行训练，而非担任 Farrell 的教练，也不是该组织的雇员或代表。该协会表示，直到 2004 年才得知 1990 年的调查情况，并坚称 Farrell 或其他年轻滑冰选手当时均未向其官员告知他们与 Gabel 的关系。

Farrell 则认为，USIPC 简要地就普莱西德（Lake Placid）训练中心达成了一致，而她指称在该中心至少发生过一起事件；且美国速度滑冰协会对运动员及该项运动拥有足够的权威来予以干预。

Bridie 并未对这些相互矛盾的陈述做出裁决。相反，他发现关于这两个组织是否对 Farrell 负有照顾职责、是否违反了该职责，以及任何违约行为是否为其受伤的实质原因，仍存在事实争议。

Bridie Farrell 声称，前奥运速度滑冰选手 Andy Gabel 在她青少年时期对其进行了虐待。

一项旨在挽救乔治敦一座拥有130年历史的地标建筑的努力在经历了数十年的斗争后最终失败

华盛顿特区有轨电车桥面临拆除

作者：LILAM SCOTT

此时，这座建筑可能漏洞比桥身还多。阳光穿过众多的缝隙，形成一片星光，照亮了前方的森林地表。钢架已经生锈并被腐蚀。木材尚且完整。混凝土柱上布满了涂鸦。被忽视数十年后，Foundry Branch有轨电车轨道已被植被覆盖。桥梁的部分区域被常春藤包裹。树木已经从结构中生长出来。

火车在有轨电车之上飞驰。它建于1894年的乔治敦，比第一架飞机飞行早七年。它本不该继续屹立——当地官员多年来一直警告该桥有立即坍塌的风险——但不知为何，它依然在。

除了华盛顿，很少有其他地方会让一座破旧的桥引发如此两极分化的看法。

在其鼎盛时期，这座桥是有轨电车线的经过点，将数千名乘客从乔治敦运送到马里兰州格伦埃科（Glen Echo）的游乐园。该有轨电车线在1900年代初终结，但有轨电车爱好者、保护主义者和自行车倡导者一直争取挽救这座桥，因为它的历史意义以及被改造为行人和骑行者的通道的潜力。

霍华德大学在入住日前几天取消数百名学生学籍

作者：SOPHIA SOLANO

即将进入霍华德大学的新生伊莎贝拉·威廉姆斯（Isabella Williams），16岁，在未告知父母的情况下，申请了她能找到的所有当地奖学金。她说，这“就像给他们的一份礼物”，部分原因是她的母亲几十年前也因经济困难被迫离开同一所学校。

但在周三，即原定提前入住的两天前，她收到学校的一封电子邮件，告知她失去了进入2010级学生的资格。校方声称，她错过了一个付款截止日期，并建议她将来作为转学生申请。

“我这辈子从未在走得这么远、付出这么多努力之后，又被这样剥夺，”她在Instagram的一段视频帖子中流泪说道。她创建了这个名为“教育”的账号，以推广她创立的非营利组织。“我突然被我梦想中的学校取消了学籍。一所我为了进入而如此努力的学校。”

她是该大学在秋季学期课程开始前不到一个月被取消学籍的283名学生之一。据学校称，这些学生在经过数月的沟通后，仍未能满足既定的付款、付款安排或奖学金申报截止日期。

但许多学生表示，他们在截止日期前很久就申报了即将到来的奖学金——现在他们不知是否该将准备好的宿舍用品重新打包。

拯救有轨电车桥的努力以失败告终

照片由 THOMAS 拍摄，华盛顿邮报——2026年7月21日，星期六

桥梁（照片由）

在解决了由有轨电车系统前所有者发起的诉讼后，该机构多年来一直试图拆除这座有 210 年历史的建筑。对 WNAZA 而言，它是一项负债。

经过漫长的斗争，该机构比以往任何时候都更接近实现其愿望：国家公园管理局采取了最后步骤之一，准许 WNAZA 停用该桥。

“无论从哪个方面看，这都是完全的损失，”Ralls-to-Trade Conservancy 的共同创始人 Peter Harrak 表示，“这是一座绝佳历史建筑的惨痛浪费，也是乔治敦 (Georgetown) 与帕利塞德 (Palisades) 之间绝佳连接的极大浪费。”

一名发言人表示，公园管理局上周发布了一份关于拆除该高架桥的协议备忘录，并要求签署人在 8 月 12 日前签署。

该发言人表示，一旦备忘录最终确定且公园管理局完成环境影响评估，公园管理局将发放许可证，允许 WNAZA 进入联邦土地拆除该桥。他们表示，预计许可证将在秋季发放。

华盛顿特区保存联盟 (DC Preservation League) 执行主任 Rebecca Miller 表示，她将高架桥在翻修后失效的问题归咎于 WNAZA。

“他们忽视了它数十年。这就是为什么它现在变成了这个样子，”Miller 说道。“他们应对高架桥的拆除负责，”她补充道。华盛顿特区保存联盟自 2008 年起一直致力于拯救这座高架桥。Miller 表示，其中还包括一次未获胜的诉讼。

WNAZA 拒绝就拆除计划或关于其对高架桥监管的批评发表评论。

这座长 260 英尺、宽 20 英尺的结构位于第 2 区，波多马克河以北。它位于乔治敦大学校园西侧，从西北运河路 (Canal Road NW) 可见，被列入国家历史古迹名录。它也被列入华盛顿特区历史遗迹清单，作为格洛弗机场历史区 (Glover Airfield Historic District) 的组成元素。

据华盛顿特区历史学家、《首都有轨电车：华盛顿特区早期大众运输》(Capital Streetcars: Early Mass Transit in Washington, D.C.) 一书的作者 John DeFerrari 称，有轨电车在内战期间开始在华盛顿运行，并很快成为人们在市内出行的主要方式。DeFerrari 表示，有轨电车让人们能够搬离市区，进入像芒特普莱森特 (Mount Pleasant) 和切维切斯 (Chevy Chase) 这样的地方。

“有轨电车：曾经就是全部，”他说。DeFerrari 认为应该拯救这座高架桥，正是为了保护这段华盛顿特区交通历史的遗迹。“我们不能把生活冻结在琥珀中。这既不可行也不理想，”他说，但像高架桥这样不阻碍任何开发的历史建筑，是应该予以维护的。

“这是一个独特的结构，代表了我们的起点以及我们过去如何旅行。拥有它是一种绝佳的方式，可以回顾我们的来源，并更好地理解我们现在所处的位置。这将是一个损失，因为我们在城市中将失去这个视角，”DeFerrari 说道。

76 岁的 Carol Szymkowicz 表示，她童年最美好的回忆之一是在 20 世纪 50 年代与家人一起乘坐有轨电车经过高架桥前往游乐园。

“乘坐电车本身就比在 Glen Kline 度过的实际时间更有趣，因为我们热爱在一起，在窗户打开的有轨电车上，看着周围的所有景象飞速掠过。那‘咔哒咔哒’的声音也很有趣，”住在华盛顿西北部的 Szymkowicz 说道。

Szymkowicz 表示，这座高架桥是她青春岁月的物质见证。“我知道它现在看起来像是个破旧的东西，但它对我意义重大，”她说道。

对于哈拉克（Harrak）来说，拯救这座高架桥的斗争可以追溯到 20 世纪 50 年代，当时他担任华盛顿地区自行车协会（Washington Area Bicyclist Association）主席，并主张将这座桥改为一条蓝色路径。多年来，倡导者们不断推动，指出一条连接帕利塞兹（Palisades）和乔治敦（Georgetown）的路径具有实用价值，这样骑行者和行人就可以避开西南运河路（Canal Road SW）的繁忙交通。

“如果能修复，这真的会很有用，”

帕利塞兹的长期居民布雷特·杨（Brett Young）说道。

在过去的十年里，杨一直公开支持修复这座高架桥。他说，他几乎每天都会想到这座高架桥，且自 2003 年以来，他积累了 8,000 多封关于该结构的电子邮件。

“它是我生命中非常重要的一部分，”此前从未参与过倡导活动的杨说。“我还未被其他任何事情如此激发过。”

倡导者们最接近修复高架桥的一次机会是在几年前，当时华盛顿特区交通部（DDOT）就接管该高架桥并开发一条连接帕利塞兹和乔治敦的行人及自行车道进行了可行性研究。

顶部：一架飞机飞越位于乔治敦的 Foundry Branch 电车高架桥，该桥建于 1888 年。

中部：光线透过桥上的许多缝隙。底部：华盛顿特区保护联盟（DC Preservation League）自 2009 年起一直致力于拯救这座高架桥。

但那项 2010 年的研究结论认为该项目不可行。

领导 DDOT 接管高架桥调查的迈克尔·阿尔文斯（Michael Alvins）表示，多种因素导致了这一结论：乔治敦大学的反对、桥梁状况不佳、修复成本高昂，以及在特区议会或市长办公室中缺乏政治支持者。

阿尔文斯说，DDOT 已经做出了诚实的努力。“政治现实是，这里从未真正出现过一个支持者，”他说。“最热衷于此的人是历史保护主义者和自行车群体。他们是强有力的倡导者，并且拥有自己的支持群体，但这不足以将某件事纳入大计划中。”

使问题复杂化的是该高架桥所处的官僚局面。WNAZA 拥有这座桥，但国家公园管理局（National Park Service）拥有桥下的土地。乔治敦大学拥有附近土地，特区政府和陆军工程兵团（Army Corps of Engineers）同样拥有。

“我无法在地图上画圈告诉你每个部分由谁控制，因为这太混乱了，”第 2 选区社区发展顾问马克·布鲁门塔尔（Mark Blumenthal）说。

多年来，莫里斯（Morris）试图将高架桥出售或捐赠给国家公园管理局、乔治敦大学和特区水务局（D.C. Water）。

“WNAZA 从未想过要接管它或为其负责，”曾在 2007 年至 2023 年期间担任第 2 选区议员的玛丽·M·克拉克（Mary M. Clark）说。

对于来自 Ralls-to-Trade Conservancy 的哈拉克来说，相互竞争的利益群体使得修复高架桥变得更加困难。“没有人主导这件事。拆掉它比研究如何保护它更容易，”他说。

但哈拉克还指出了周围社区富裕居民的反对。“乔治敦和帕利塞兹——这两个社区的政治氛围并不理想，因为他们想要一条漂亮的步道，但又不希望任何人看到它，”他说。“这是一个参与度极高、好争论且权力巨大的群体，他们彼此制约。”

当地居民的反对也是海瑟·多伊奇（Heather Deutsch）面临的主要障碍，她从 2007 年到 2024 年在 DDOT 工作。在此期间，她试图争取支持，将高架桥改为行人及自行车道。

“坦白说，他们简直不可理喻，”多伊奇在谈到反对该项目的当地居民时说。“非常典型的‘不要在我家后院’（NIMBY）。非常典型的‘我们不希望其他人使用这条小路’。”（NIMBY 意为“Not In My Backyard”，即邻避效应）。

前议员克拉克表示，麦克阿瑟大道（MacArthur Boulevard）附近的居民反对修建该路径，因为他们担心骑行者会穿过他们的社区。

“这让我想起为什么我在担任四个任期后决定应该让别人接手。试图解决这一切的过程令人沮丧。一切似乎都停留在原地，没有任何进展，”她说道。

目前尚不清楚拆除工作将于何时进行，但议会议员马修·弗鲁明（Matthew Frumin，民主党-第 2 区）曾敦促议会和市长办公室保留这座高架桥，他表示希望这座桥能够撑到明年 1 月特区下一届政府接管。由于詹姆斯·刘易斯-乔治（James Lewis-George）很可能成为华盛顿特区的下一任市长，弗鲁明表示，他计划向新政府推介保护该结构的方案。

“它本可以——现在依然可以——成为一项真正美丽且珍贵的资产，”弗鲁明说。但经过这三年的努力，他补充道，他不再抱有太高期望。

弗吉尼亚州

性暴力与家庭暴力机构正难以满足需求

作者：ANNA BRUSON 里士满时报-快报 (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

在弗吉尼亚州各地，遵守 2026 年美国总统及性暴力相关规定的机构，其咨询候诊名单的人数高达 100 人，紧急住房缺口扩大，在某些情况下，由于联邦资金削减导致受害者服务承压，部分机构不得不拒绝接纳人员。

自 2016 年以来，弗吉尼亚州在联邦《受害者犯罪法》(Victims of Crime Act) 资金中设定了其百分比，导致性暴力与家庭暴力机构不得不削减分析师岗位并管理日益增长的候诊名单，同时继续提供危机服务。由支持受害者服务机构发布的联邦数据显示，由于联邦起诉量下降和州级诉讼规模扩大，相关资金在近年来大幅下降。该州的 2026 年美国诉讼（该州的 2026 年美国法律） 1% 可能会导致一种难以想象的情况，即你处于

社区需求的增长与实际服务能力之间存在差距，美国 Tijana。弗吉尼亚性与家庭暴力行动联盟（Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance）的使命推进主任表示，该联盟是一个代表弗吉尼亚州多家家庭与性暴力机构的全州联盟。

去年，弗吉尼亚州的性与家庭暴力机构服务了近 26,000 名成年人和儿童，提供了超过 200,000 小时的危机响应和先进服务。该州另一机构接纳了超过 70,000 名成年人、测试和在线聊天。但机构满足这些需求的能力已经下降。去年，该州的 2026 年美国诉讼（该州的 2026 年美国法律） 1% 可能会导致一种难以想象的情况，即你处于

行动联盟。

在 Safe Harbor（一家位于里士蒙的组织），该机构为家庭暴力、性暴力和人口贩卖的幸存者提供客户和其他服务。VOCA 资金的削减是该机构历史上所面临的最大财务挑战。

其咨询候诊名单在 25 到 100 人之间，因为该机构无法负担聘请额外的咨询师。有时，等到消费者变得有利可图时，车辆（注：原文此处可能为OCR错误，指受害者）已不再准备寻求帮助。该机构曾一度拥有九名咨询师，而今天只有三名。

“这种循环运行的方式，特别是在家庭暴力中，在一次暴力事件后会出现‘蜜月期’，那时通常一切都恢复正常，施暴者已经道歉，并说他们绝不会再犯，”Safe Harbor 执行主任 Mary Maspal 说道。“我们服务的个体处于危机之中，你必须能够迅速行动，在他们处于危机的状态下接纳他们。如果你不能这样做，那么危机就会过去，提供希望和引导的机会也随之而逝。你可能会有再次帮助该个体的机会，但你永远不知道。”

该机构维持了其避难所，但由于可用资金减少，当房间满员时，一些幸存者不得不被拒绝进入。

VOCA 资金约占 Safe Harbor 预算的四分之一。

“你尽量不去想那些你无法帮助的人，但你不得不担心他们会发生什么，”Maspal 说。“我们知道有些人不得不承受虐待。我们知道来到这个避难所的人告诉我们，如果不是因为避难所，他们早就自杀了。他们那样绝望，那样失去希望。”

Safe Harbor 并非孤例。

在为亲密伙伴和性暴力幸存者提供支持服务的 VOCA 机构中，由于长期紧急避难所的资金枯竭，该组织在去年三月不得不拒绝部分幸存者。

私人慈善事业被认为是填补资金缺口的手段，但它并未消除艰难的决定。执行主任 Rupa Murthy 说道。

“我们看到的暴力事件比以往任何时候都多，”Murthy 说。“我们继续看到数字逐年上升。”

“该机构的区域家庭暴力热线在 2024 和 2025, 年之间的通话量增加了 25 Percent，而其他一些机构则执行联邦标准，并由志愿者协助全天候维持热线运行。”

“当出现缺口时，我们能够帮助她，”Murthy 说道。“我们可以提供较少的财政援助。”

弗吉尼亚州的立法者增加了对性暴力和家庭暴力机构的州政府支持，包括今年每年额外增加 $3 million。Tijana 称这是弗吉尼亚州历史上在性暴力和家庭暴力服务领域最大的年度州政府投资，但表示这尚未完全取代联邦资金的使用。

“当（叙述）他寻求帮助而我们无法提供帮助时，对于所有相关人员来说，这真的是一个非常非常悲惨的情况，”Maspal 说道。

寻求援助的人员被鼓励拨打弗吉尼亚州性暴力和家庭暴力热线 (800) 838-8328，发送短信至 1800, 750-9099 或在 www.vida.ca.org/visits 进行在线聊天，热线服务免费且保密，并 24/7 全天候运行。

霍华德大学取消 500 多名学生的入学资格

UNENHELLED-FRIED BO

大学在一份声明中表示，“……家庭，2026 年秋季学期（将于 August 25, 开始）的最终入学名单已确定，确认入学对于规划学术项目、培训财务援助和学生支持服务至关重要。”

声明称，学校承认一些等待外部奖学金和其他财务援助资源的学生“可能受到了影响”。学校将根据学生的具体情况“考虑外部环境”。

诸如退伍军人福利、国家奖学金以及其他一些奖学金和贷款等待定机会，通常在学校启动后以及学校结束之后才不具偏见。

截至本周早些时候，Williams 的账户余额为 $12,000，她计划用部分奖学金资金来支付 $1,000。她说，她对延迟感到紧张，因此致电大学，以确认她是否能够使用相关支持。

她家里的税款已经支付了三笔财务贷款。她在与一名高中朋友道别时收到了大学发送的取消入学资格的电子邮件。

“这些孩子有办法支付大学学费，”她说。“并不是说他们只是凭着良好意愿且没有钱就进来。”

在校学生表示，霍华德大学一直有沟通混乱的历史。去年夏天，学生们得知他们在入学后欠款数千美元，并被告知必须在几周内结清余额。未能如此执行的人将被扣发学位或被移交催收机构。

那些学生的录取资格已得到恢复。然而，许多学生告诉《华盛顿邮报》，大学的财务援助和入学部门此前一直没有回应。有人表示，大学的沟通邮件最终进入了高中电子邮件账户的垃圾邮件箱。

“很多人打电话，包括我，在电话中等待了大约一小时，”来自奥斯汀的 24, 岁新生 Yusuf Dewam 说道。“但这已经不是第一次了，她甚至没能和任何人交谈。”

24, 岁的 Ruth Zipes 原计划就读于霍华德大学，追求一份 200,000 的开发合同，她目前在 Goodwill 工作，在那里她即将被晋升为管理层，并且已经为下个月的搬入准备好了营养预算、环保篮子、服务器、有机物和衣服。

“我甚至不确定我现在

该怎么处理，”她说。

不久，她收到了大学发来的大量电子邮件，称由于逾期余额，她的账户被冻结。但她说，她“对此并不太担心”，因为她在 June 24, 日已经申请了一笔 $16,000 的贷款——并通知了大学。到 7 月初，这笔贷款仍未反映在她的账户中。

她拨打了局长办公室的电话，对方称她的余额已结清，账户上的冻结已解除。周三，她收到电子邮件，告知她已恢复资格。

社交媒体帖子显示，在电子邮件发送后，一些潜在的或之前未被录取的学生收到了候补名单录取的通知。大学表示，这些录取与“此次行动无关”。

周四下午，Williams 注意到她的学生门户网站显示她再次被分配了 2026, 年秋季学期的课程，这预示着潜在的恢复。但出现了一个问题。

“我们所有人都没拿到财务援助了，所以现在我的账单是 $30,000,” 她说。“这不是我能支付的。这不是我们任何人都能支付的。”

马里兰州

该州将收到超过 $50 million 的阿片类药物和解金

作者：TODA KABONYUD 巴尔的摩太阳报 (Baltimore Sun)

马里兰州将在与七家被指控助长全美阿片类药物流行趋势的阿片类药物制造商的多州和解协议中获得超过 $50 million，布朗 (Brown) 宣布了更强有力的化学决策。

与 Oregon, Arusad, Apnea, Biloxa, Mylan, Sun 和 Zystar 的和解协议涉及这些公司制造商采取的最具价值的实践，导致了处方阿片类药物（包括鸦片、氢可酮和芬太尼贴剂）的广泛分发。

根据布朗的说法，在弗雷德里克县 (Frederick County) 签署的协议中，该州将收到超过 $10 million 用于阿片类药物滥用者的救助工作，包括治疗和康复计划。目前无法立即联系到该州制造商进行治疗。

“马里兰州的社区仍在与成瘾斗争，并处于美国的某种状态，”布朗在的一份声明中说：“这些和解金将支持治疗和康复线，帮助马里兰州打破这个循环。现在已经没有时间让对这场危机负责的药物公司寻找另一个方案了。”

今天，Mylan 和 Systar 等和解公司现在处于美国的某种状态，将支付约 $147 million，Apnea

阿片类药物处方药片。马里兰州将从与阿片类药物制造商的和解中收到数百万美元。

约 $1.27 million，Sun 约 $402,000。Oregon 约 $402,000，而 Zystar 约 $150,000。来自所有 Sun、Mylan 和 Arusad 的付款将在一年内完成。

除了资金支付外，这些公司同意承担其阿片类药物业务的损失。和解协议禁止制造商向处方者或患者开具或营销阿片类产品，通常禁止生产、推广或分发超过 40 毫克的鸦片类药物，并禁止将销售人员的薪酬或纪律与阿片类药物的销售额挂钩。

这些公司还必须维持相关系统，以监测并报告持续的成本以及正在进行的问题。

这些和解仅是对指控的处理，并非是对法律责任的认定。

奖金为索尔兹伯里的排屋注入新生命

官员宣布提供 $900,000 资金以助力改造一个街区

作者：詹姆斯·戴维斯 (JAMES DAVIS) 巴尔的摩太阳报

站在她儿时玩耍的那些破旧排屋前，索尔兹伯里市议会主席艾普丽尔·杰克逊 (April Jackson) 表示，本周宣布的州政府重新开发资金解决了这一长期未实现的祈愿。

“今天站在这里，我可以诚实地说，上帝已经回应了祈祷，”杰克逊在州和地方官员宣布由马里兰州住房与社区发展部提供 $900,000 资金时说道。这笔资金将用于帮助改造西索尔兹伯里派尔沃特街 (Pirewater Street) 上一个长期闲置、破败不堪的排屋街区。

这笔通过该州 UPUPF 计划授予的资金，将帮助索尔兹伯里邻里住房服务中心 (Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services) 将这些房产转换为 12 栋可供出售的、节能且负担得起的住宅，这是一个 $4.1 million 重新开发项目的一部分。

杰克逊女士认为，这不仅仅是一项住房计划。它标志着一个曾是她童年记忆之地的街区的复兴。

“这里是我们经常谈论的地方，我们在这里玩耍。我们在这里有朋友和同学，”她说。

索尔兹伯里市长兰迪·泰勒 (Randy Taylor) 是索尔兹伯里邻里住房服务中心的创始董事会成员，他回想起早期的时光，包括为了“节省几美元的价值”而度过的周末。

执行董事谢丽尔·米多斯 (Cheryl Meadows) 表示，派尔沃特街街区自 20 世纪 90 年代中期起就一直处于失修状态。城市记录显示，该非营利组织在过去大约二十年里一直希望购买并修复这些排屋，但难以在房产的多个所有者之间达成协议。

米多斯说，这些建于 1911 年的排屋最初包括一家店面，一座大理石结构上仍保留着最初开发商之一约翰·惠特克 (John Whitaker) 的名字。

“一个多世纪以来，这三栋排屋为几代索尔兹伯里家庭提供了住房。但多年来，维护这些 100 岁以上的房产变成了一项挑战，”她说。

计划包括五栋一居室和六栋三居室排屋，一个修复后的商业店面，以及位于豪克 (Hauck) 西端的一栋三居室独立住宅。米多斯表示，前四栋预计将在 2017, 年可用，此前的城市公告预计价格为 $42,000.

药监局 (DRUG) 秘书杰克·戴 (Jake Day)，索尔兹伯里的前任市长，表示这些建筑是“任何索尔兹伯里人对物理环境记忆中不可否认的一部分”。

戴表示，砖砌排屋是巴尔的摩的标志，但在东岸并不常见，这使得西波特 (Westport) 项目成为 UPUPF 的一次独特应用。

“在索尔兹伯里或东岸其他任何地方都没有多少这样的建筑，”他说。“这种基础设施……需要一种独特的方法。”

官员们还宣布了一项专门为购买 UPUPF 资助房屋的首次购房者提供的抵押贷款产品。该产品提供 50 年固定成本贷款、具有竞争力的利率以及 3% 的首付款援助。

杰克逊表示，这项投资“不是为了概括化——而是为了建立更强大、更好的社区”。

“如果我们想住在这些地方，就必须进行振兴，”她说。

接下来，杰克逊希望居民能获得优先购买机会，已经举行了一次免费的公众房屋所有权会议，还将举行另一次。

“我们邀请公众来了解如何投资于此。因为我们希望社区里的好人能够参与，我们不会让第一批机会流失，”她说。“我想看到的是很多来自这个实际社区的人成为投资者。”

弗吉尼亚州一名男孩在骑电动滑板车时死于车祸

GRAND VISIO BO

Murthy 表示，成年女性驾驶员在操作该车辆时态度冷漠。警方表示目前尚未提起指控。

他说：“在这段时间里，我们与家属在一起。”Murthy 补充道：“我们不会接受这种说法，但我们的心与他们在一起。”

警方表示，侦查员正在调查车祸的情况，但酒精和速度似乎与电动车无关。

Cargill 表示，将继续确认在车祸发生时，电动滑板车是在通电状态还是手动驱动。

Cargill 还敦促家长确保他们要求孩子停止在室外玩耍。“让你们的孩子佩戴头盔，”Smiths 随后补充了安全规则，“时刻盯着他们。”

1972 年，Knox Okamoto 在以色列中部一个未公开地点接受军事法庭审理的开庭期间。

OKAMOTO KOZO, 78岁

一名参与 1972 年特拉维夫机场袭击的日本激进分子

作者：RAMON MINOUI

美联社

BURU? —— 保护他的巴勒斯坦组织表示，五十多年前参与特拉维夫机场致命袭击的日本激进分子 Knox Okamoto 周四在贝鲁特去世。他享年 78 岁。

巴勒斯坦解放人民阵线（FFLP）——一个在巴勒斯坦解放组织中规模第二大的派系——表示，Okamoto 先生长期患病。

Okamoto 先生在从以色列获释并定居黎巴嫩后，极少公开露面。在 FFLP 内部，他被认为……（此处原文不完整）

FFLP 在声明中表示，Okamoto 先生的旅程“致力于在支持巴勒斯坦事业的斗争战场上，投入跨越数十年的牺牲”。该巴勒斯坦组织补充道，Okamoto 先生“从未妥协，也不曾懈怠，始终坚守他的原则”。

Okamoto 先生因参与 1973 年 5 月 30 日对特拉维夫市外国际机场的袭击而被关押在以色列监狱 12 年。该袭击被认为是由日本红军游击队成员与 FFLP 联合行动实施的。

在 1973 年的袭击中，Okamoto 先生及其同伙乘坐航班抵达特拉维夫，

Okamoto 先生出席 2022 年 5 月由巴勒斯坦激进分子组织的一场仪式。他周四在贝鲁特去世。

据美联社报道，他们随后取出装有步枪和手榴弹的行李袋并开火，导致 20 人死亡，drums 人受伤。

与 Okamoto 先生同行的两名日本人在此次袭击中丧生，而他本人受伤。

Okamoto 先生被判处终身监禁，但于 1991 年在以色列与巴勒斯坦游击队的囚犯交换中获释。随后他在黎巴嫩获得了政治赞誉，并在那里生活直到去世。

Okamoto 先生极少数的公开露面之一是在 2022 年 5 月，他前往贝鲁特的一座埋葬巴勒斯坦激进分子和其他名人的公墓，纪念该袭击发生 50 周年。

日本红军是一个与巴勒斯坦激进分子有联系的暴力极端组织，成立于 1971 年，并对多起国际袭击事件负责，包括 1975 年占领位于巴基斯坦吉隆坡的美国领事馆。

FFLP 是巴勒斯坦解放组织的一个激进派系，在 1974 年同时劫持四架西方航空客机以及劫持一架从特拉维夫飞往巴黎并被迫降在乌干达恩德培的法国航空航班后声名大噪。

FFLP 在周四的一份声明中表示，Okamoto 先生对以色列机场的袭击是为了报复 1969 年以色列的 communist 袭击贝鲁特国际机场。

FFLP 领导人 Ahmed Saadet 是被关押在以色列监狱中最著名的巴勒斯坦人之一。Saadet 被指控组织 1969 年暗杀以色列旅游部长 Rehawan Ziawi，后者是一名呼吁大规模驱逐巴勒斯坦人的极端分子。

1997 年，Okamoto 先生和其他四名日本人因在黎巴嫩东部非法居留多年被黎巴嫩当局逮捕。在 1973-69 年内战的残酷岁月里，他们受到巴勒斯坦和黎巴嫩左翼组织的保护。他们被起诉，其中四人于 2000 年被引渡回日本，而 Okamoto 先生成为首位在黎巴嫩获得政治赞誉的人。

多年来，日本一直要求黎巴嫩移交 Okamoto 先生，但贝鲁特方面多次拒绝。他在黎巴嫩许多人心中被视为英雄，因为在 1973-69 年内战的残酷岁月里，他在该国非法居留多年，并受到巴勒斯坦和黎巴嫩左翼组织的保护。他们被起诉，其中四人于 2000 年被引渡回日本，而 Okamoto 先生成为首位在黎巴嫩获得政治赞誉的人。

BONNIE LOU HAMMONS, 88

一位在哈福德县驾驶校车38年的司机

作者：MIKE KLINGAMAN

巴尔的摩太阳报

Bonnie Lou Hammons 在哈福德县驾驶校车 38 年，于 7 月 11 日在贝尔艾尔的 Leeten 健康与康复中心因阿尔茨海默病去世。这位长期居住在 Street 的居民享年 84 岁。

Mr. Hammons 被称为“Mike Bonnie”，她负责接送几所初中和高中的学生，并且在学年结束时，总是会送出一份礼物。Bonnie 坚持这份工作。21 年前，她在成功抗击乳腺癌的同时，将她的放射治疗时间安排在两次驾驶任务之间。

“她是一个非常热爱‘社交’的人；孩子们很喜欢她，”女儿 Beverly Wessel 说道。

Mr. Hammons 出生于西弗吉尼亚州，她和家人在 1960 年代搬到了阿伯丁，在那里她抚养了六个孩子，并开始了近四十年驾驶校车的生涯。她的运输路线包括贝尔艾尔的 C. Milton Wright 和 Patterson Mill 等高中。家人表示，她的安全记录完美无瑕。Hammons 还会前往辅助生活设施探访病人以及孤独的人，带着大量的食物、填充动物等物品，并经常与不认识的居民分享。认识她的人说，她的笑容极具感染力。

“Bons 从没把任何人当陌生人，”Wessel 说。

周五晚上，Mr. Hammons 在贾雷特维尔的 1799 Post 6673 游玩。她和朋友们前往亚特兰大市尝试老虎机。在一次前往华特迪士尼世界的家庭旅行后，她逛了 5 个市场和庭院拍卖会，寻找米老鼠的纪念品，收集了授权餐厅的物品、小雕像、银器、袜子、衬衫甚至一个大师作品。Hammons 的左臂上纹有一个米老鼠的图案，脚踝上纹有一个校车的图案。

女儿表示，在乳腺癌痊愈后，Mr. Hammons 总是至少穿着一件粉色衣物——无论是衬衫、裤子、外套、袜子还是鞋子。“当一名学生问：‘Mike Bonnie，你的衣橱里有任何不是粉色的东西吗？’她回答道：‘没有，我不穿其他的’，”她的女儿说道。

Wessel 说，她母亲生命中的挚爱是她的狗 Pepper，一只一直陪伴在她身边的宠物。今年，当 Pepper 在她怀中去世，享年 12 岁时，Mr. Hammons 深受打击。

“Pepper 给了她早起面对生活的动力，”她的女儿说。“我们保留了他的遗物，并将与他一同埋葬。”

Mr. Hammons 在 1957 年与丈夫 Ohio State Hammons 结婚，两人共同生活了 39 年；1960 年她育有儿子 David Mullens。她的遗属包括：住在达灵顿的女儿 Connie Carrillo，住在 Street 的女儿 Lizzie Mullens，住在 Whiteford 的女儿 Deborah Wallace，以及住在贝尔艾尔的 Pamela Rose 和 Beverly Wessel；住在 Street 的儿子 Lizzie Mullens；10 个孙辈；11 个曾孙辈；以及 1 个玄孙辈。她的儿子 David Mullens 于 1980 年去世。

家人和朋友将于周日下午 1 点在皮奥里山的 Evans Prairie Chapel（5 Newport Drive）聚集；随后将在下午 2 点举行生命庆典服务。

Push to

interview immigrants stirs alarm

A federal agency aims to compile detailed data on about 800 Afghans

BY TCH HENSON

A federal refugee mustik- ment plan is upwith something an effort to interview hundreds of Afghan immigrants living in the United States, raising alarms among refuge groups who won by the information they collect could be used for future imm- igration enforcement.

An internal email sent to staff in the Office of Refugee Resettlement on July 16 and reviewed by The Washington Post called for volunteers to conduct outreach calls to 800 Afghans who were brought to the U.S. in recent years and "may be in vulnerable situations."

A questionnaire for the effort — called the Refugee Outreach and Wellbeing Initiative — showed the agency will gather detailed information about household members, including their names, jobs, language spoken and immigration status.

Some younger groups in present concern at the idea because the Trump administration has taken place in the U.S. of legal status as part of the president's broader immigration crackdown, a dramatic reversal of President Joe Biden's welcome of many in 1994 Afghans during the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in 1993.

Peptide

boom has states scrambling

Post survey reveals gaping regulatory holes in explosion of medspas

BY LAUREN WYARD

Your favorite local restaurant or hair salon is subject to more inspections and oversight than the medspas down the street selling peptide injections.

An wellness clinics increasingly capitalize on the exploding interest in the chains of amino acids that promise everything from longevity to weight loss, a Washington Post investigation has found gaping holes in the nation's regulatory system. Many peptide peptides have not been studied in clinical trials that they are proliferating in grey and black markers as the food and Drug Administration struggles to keep up, leaving American consumers vulnerable to pain, hard labor, dangerous or untested products.

After contacting pharmacy, medical and nursing boards in all 50 states and DC, The Post found that an overwhelming majority lack the authority and measures to oversee the loans.

Sharp drop in violent crime is difficult to explain

National murder rate could fall to lowest in more than a century

BY KATIN MEYLICH

Homicide rates are falling precipitously in many cities across the United States, dropping by the percent since the same period last year, and by the end of 2030 the murder rate could plummet to its lowest nationwide in more than a century, according to a new milyun crime trends report.

Reported carjacking incidents

also have declined sharply, dropping by 47 percent since last year, the Council on Criminal Justice said in its report. The 50-year-old decline in violent offenses is welcome news for the many communities that were affected by an extraordinary spike in the crime rate during the coronavirus pandemic.

The report from the nonpartisan think tank analyzed incident reporting data for 13 common criminal offenses in 30 large and multiple U.S. cities during the first half of this year.

The rates for four offenses — homicide, carjacking, residential burglary and motor vehicle theft — dropped by more than 50 percent compared with their peaks

over the past nine years. The drop in carjackings was most dramatic, with the rate falling by 72 percent at the first half of 2030 compared with its peak in 2035.

The spikes and declines are easier to explain for some crimes than others. For example, residential burglaries went down during the pandemic because everyone was at home, and dropping incidents went down because many towns were closed, said Adam Goff, the Council's CEO and president.

"The opportunities change dramatically," Goff said.

But the roles of other crime trends, including the unprecedented rise and subsequent de-

cline of carjackings, are harder to discern.

Founded in 2003, the Council on Criminal Justice started publishing semi-annual trend reports in 2003 amid the pandemic-related spike in violent crime, as well as the racial justice process that put up a spotlight on legal injustices. The country needed an unbiased source of real-time data on public safety, Goff said.

The analysis released this week draws on monthly student-level data collected from the online portals of city police departments. The federal government also published reports on crime cases, using data from thousands of communities as-

BARRAGE OF ATTACKS BARS IN INTENSITY

Vice president's allies say it's a coordinated 'up'

BY NATALIE ALLISON

As JD Vance prepares to make a decision about his 2020 plans, the vice president is facing a barrage of online attacks from within his party, criticism has allay any appears to be part of a coordinated attempt to poison the wall for him politically.

His detractors have adopted the "Never Vance" slogan and flooded social media, especially over the past week, with attacks including claims that Vance is "valid" to be vice president due to his efforts to negotiate a peace deal with him. They have asserted, without evidence, that Vance is making policy decisions not supported by President Donald Trump. They have listened him to former president Barack Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders (3-Veterans).

The sustained public hostility from Vance's own side of the aisle is unlike that faced by other organizations in Donald, both in intensity and in the early timing — two years before the party will choose to next presidential nominee. The unusual nature is a product of his strong and flat social media plays in today's political discourse, as well as the high stakes as Republican people to select a new standard-honore after Trump, Vance, who also will be a good choice.

Vance's political team remains a member of the social media campaign and its impact on Republican voters, believing that many of the attacks are not organic, a close ally of the vice president told The Washington Post in a sentiment echoed by the same people with a close advantage of Vance's strategy. The ally and other advisers spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Canada bridge to open

even as rancor deepens

Trump had sought to block it, and a June event was abruptly canceled

BY JOANNA SLATER

BY the former cross-border infrastructure project in de- nailed to link the United States and Canada, a new 84.5 billion bridge named after a hockey big- out followed in 1993 nations.

But until just days ago, it wants clear whether the span — complete for weeks — would open.

Back in February, President Donald Trump threatened to prevent the opening of the Gold- er House International Bridge, saving the U.S. was being treated unfairly.

In June, an event to inaugura- rate the bridge connecting the trust and Windsor, Ontario, was not properly canceled.

How the six-base span is set to open to traffic on Monday

after the two countries signed a last-minute deal — separate from the operating agreement for the bridge.

While the project is visible good of the fact that final Can- ads and the U.S., it has also be- come a symbol of something else. The fraying of the bond between the two neighbors as Trump sees Renee to negotiate with Canada and calls it "the 10" state.

The rancor deepened this week after Trump said he would impose a new 50 percent tariff on many Canadian products. In response, Canada swapped plans for a joint ceremony to mark the opening of the bridge.

"It would be inappropriate to answer with a community event between the two countries," a spokeswoman for Canada's in- frastructure minister said in an analyzed statement instead. He stayed and contends the side- stone "among Canadians" on Friday morning.

Michigan's Whitmer endorses a centrist in key Senate race

The popular governor lends her weight to Haley Stevens in contest

BY LOI GOODWIN

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (25) leaves her support behind Rep. Haley Stevens on Friday in the increasingly bitter Senate Democratic primary for a seat that could be pivotal in determining control of the chamber.

"Haley's moves have to get things done for Michigan," Whitmer said in a video announcing her endorsement on Friday. "She'll be ready to deliver on Day 1 on manufacturing, lowering costs and protecting our health care and Social Security."

The announcement is the latest big-name Michigan endorsement for Stevens as she contends with Abdul El-Sayed, the Bernie Sanders-backed former public health official who is running from the left. Some establishment Democrats believe that El-Sayed could face a tougher general election path

than the more centrist Stevens in the swing state. The state's former Democratic senator, Debbie Halbrasse, and outgoing Sen. Gary Peters (21) have also endorsed Stevens.

El-Sayed recently picked up an endorsement from Rep. Al-Khattib, Golem-Cortez (11-New York), as well as from a handful of progressive Democratic senators.

Whitmer, the two-term governor who is popular among the state's Democrats, was seen as a top recruit to run for the Senate race by Washington Democrats. She declined to run, leading Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) to endorse Stevens.

The race has set off revenues between the left and centrist factions of the Democratic Party on support for Israel and the role of money in politics. El-Sayed regularly slams Stevens for benefiting from millions in outside spending, much of it from organizations affiliated with the pre-Israel lobbying group (APSA). Stevens has portrayed El-Sayed as unobtainable in the purple state, and pressed him on his association with the controversial Twitch streamer

and Israel critic Hanan Pikei. She's also criticized him for requesting an extension to release his financial disclosure.

"Governor Whitmer embodies

what it means to be 'that woman from Michigan' and everything that makes our state so special," Stevens said in a statement. She's authentically Michigan — and I

could not be more honored to have her endorsement for U.S. Senate. Let's go win!"

El-Sayed challenged Whitmer in 2019 in a Democratic primary

for governor, but was beaten decisively by her.

The winner of the Aug. 4 primary will face Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman.

Refugees walk through Dulles International Airport in 2023 after being evacuated from Kabul following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

Agency aims to compile detailed information about 800 Afghans

dwindling hope for resulting with their families," Beth Oppenheim, CEO of the refugee enettlement group HIAA, said in a statement. "The idea of collecting data on this population is something that could credit trust, particularly in a moment that feels precarious for so many."

The questionnaire says the information collected will be used to "identify common challenges" and assess whether additional resources or support may be needed. The result said the push would run through Aug. 1 with calls expected to take 30 minutes each.

ORR, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, did not respond to a request for comment, nor did the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Nearly four years have passed since Bider's chaotic exit from

the two-decade conflict in Afghanistan and scramble to evacuate Afghans who aided the U.S. military during that time.

Shawn Vasil'ev, a Navy veteran who founded the group Afghanistan to aid Afghan enettlement, said he was concerned about the intent given the Trump administration's past moves to block Afghans from legal status. Vasil'ev said he was told by a U.S. official there were worries by some within the federal government that the data collection could be used for future deportations.

"If the federal government wants to check on the well-being of Afghan families, it can do that without turning the process into a backdoor deportation operation," he said.

ORR officials discussed the plan with refugee enettlement organizations in late May, according to two people familiar with the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity

to share details of the conversation. The officials said the effort would target people without permanent status.

Angie Salama, the acting director of ORR, is a former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official. She faced criticism from Democrats last year over her role in an effort to quickly deport unaccompanied children to Guatemala over a holiday weekend, a further operation that was blocked by a federal judge.

The questionnaire to be read to Afghan immigrants over the phone includes a moment notice that emphasize the survey is not anonymous and that information may be retained for 15 years.

"There are minimal risks to participating in this survey. Some questions ask about challenges or difficult experiences, which may feel uncomfortable," it reads. "You may skip any question you prefer not to answer."

A section of the questionnaire titled "Antinatalism and Immigration" asks Afghans how well they feel they have adjusted to life in the United States, ranging from "very well" to "very poorly."

In addition to asking for the immigration status of each household member, it requests the government-issued "aims number" for anyone in the household who may need additional support or be eligible for government benefits.

President Donald Trump suspended the issuance of all immigrant and nonimmigrant visas from Afghanistan as part of a broader travel ban in 2023.

A month later, his administration ended temporary postponed status for some 12,000 Afghans who had been granted permission to live and work in the U.S. legally in the termination notice, then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Nune said security and economic conditions had improved in Afghanistan enough

to allow them to safely return.

The U.S. State Department currently advises U.S. citizens not to travel to Afghanistan due to the risk of civil unrest, terrorism, crime and kidnapping.

After an Afghan immigrant was accused of shooting two National Guard members blocks away from the White House in November, killing one and badly injuring another, the administration halted the processing of any pending Afghan immigration applications.

ORR first conducted outreach as part of its well-being initiatives in March, attempting to contact 1,900 White South Africans brought to the U.S. through the refugee enettlement program, a U.S. official said no condition of anonymity to share internal figures. But White South Africans entering as refugees — a priority group for Trump — have access to permanent residence and would not face the same risk of deportation.

Texas suburb wrestles with war after hometown soldier's death

F9-year-old was killed in an Iranian strike in Jordan, Pentagon says

BY MOLLY HENMORS-TOMA

CARROLLTON, TEXAS — The 'Wall of House' is just inside the entrance to American Legion Post (SF) in this Dallas suburb's historic downtown, an above covered with pictures of chores of local service members killed in recent overseas conflicts.

Now, they have another: U.S. Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 10, killed in an Iranian strike on showading that the state in Jordan on July 17, according to the Pentagon.

Ross Gasser knows some of the others memorialized on the wall. The retired fishing guide didn't know Gonzales, but said he's a father of six, his youngest daughter just four years older than Gonzales.

'Any loss of life is terrible,' Gasser, 42, said. 'But when it's your hometown, it hits you. Especially when they're so young.'

The death strikes close for many in this diverse, politically divided Dallas suburb of about 125,000, which last lost a member of the military at war 10 years ago. Gonzales is one of 10 U.S. service members to have been killed since President Donald Trump ordered the first orders to last February, four of them since the ceasefire collapsed July 7. Her death has prompted people here to reflect on the necessity of a war that the divided public agencies from its inception.

Gonzales attended nearby Helena High School, where she served in Junior BJTC and won a U.S. Army draft in graduation last year. She enlisted last spring, was assigned as an air and missile military force member to the 22nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade and the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command in Ambach, Germany.

'We're just so proud of her. We were very proud of her when she went in and she paid the ultimate service,' said her mother's aunt, Elizabeth Muniz, 10, of La Perla, Texas.

Gonzales' mother declined to comment via text this week. John Noreworthy, 62, an Army veteran who served in Korea and now commands the American Legion post, is supporting Gonzales' family. Noreworthy said an American Legion auxiliary minister working with the family told him Gonzales' mother wants to ensure her daughter is remembered.

Gonzales' family flew to Dewar Air Force Base in Delaware for the dygodist transfer of her remains on Wednesday. They were joined by Defense Secretary Roy Hegseth, Gen. Dan Carter, chairman of the Joint Union of American Legion and Trump, who was making his third appearance at Dewar since the war started.

Carrollton has mostly in Dewar's County, a conservative but rapidly growing and diversifying suburb where Trump won 50 percent of the vote in 2026. Some here support the true way, but in several polls showed this month, there is widespread opposition, including among some Republican group supporters.

'Iran is a major mistake. I personally think I've gotten an into another Vietnam,' said Ray, 64, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam. He declined to give his last name while having a beer at the American Legion has become he said his opinion is unpopular there.

A self-described independent conservative raised in a military family, Ray said he voted for Trump to all three presidential elections, but has since ceased on him, comparing him to former president Lyndon B. Johnson.

'Like Johnson, he keeps talking about a ceasefire and blowing his cool,' Ray said. 'Every time we stick our nose into something, our people are going to get hurt. Going into it, you have to think. Is it worth it?'

Nearly, there is a Pvt. 10, whose daughter is an Army sergeant, said he became upset this week when a friend accused Trump of having killed Gonzales.

'They are across. They know what they were getting into and loved this country as my daughter does,' said Pike, who voted for Trump. He insisted the conflict is unpopular to prevent him from developing nuclear weapons and that he expects it will likely end soon.

A Carrollton's Armed Forces

The remains of Pvt. Isabella Gonzales arrive at Dewar Air Force Base in Delaware on Wednesday. She is one of 10 U.S. service members to have been killed since the war began.

Gonzales, 10, was killed on July 17. The death strikes close for many in this diverse, politically divided Dallas suburb of about 125,000, which last lost a member of the military at war 10 years ago.

Career Center in a nearby strip mall, Army recruiter Sgt. First Sam Arnaldo Rivera said the loan conflict has not deterred recruits, but it has shaped their emotions.

'They ask if they're going to have to deploy, and they ask about my experience,' said Rivera, 28, who enlisted at age 18, deployed the following year and served in Iraq.

Standing outside the office in front of a blow-out photo of a Latina soldier, Rivera said many young recruits sign up to help pay for their education. He

emphasizes to them that even if they don't train for combat, they could end up in a combat zone.

'At the end of the day, it's their choice,' he said. Just then a 17-year-old man who wrote at a local pizza shop walked up and they went inside to discuss his options.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Malarico provoked online debate during a packed Dallas town hall on Monday when he insisted Gonzales 'was sent to serve in a reckless war that no one asked for.'

'We are closing schools and

hospitals in this country so we can bomb schools and hospitals in other countries. There is never enough money for education and health care but there's always enough money for war,' the state representative said. 'Our gratitude for her service should not be mistaken for an acceptance of her death.'

Her crowd applauded. GOP state Rep. Mitch Little condemned Malarico's speech in a post on a 2,000-strong list of 'trying to score cheap applause lines at a rally off of a real family's grief.'

'Isabella wasn't 'real.' She volunteered for her duty station,' wrote Little, who represents the area where Gonzales' family lives. He visited the family Sunday to pray for her mom, who, he told The Washington Post, was 'devastated' but surrounded by family.

Little's post provoked nearly 200 comments, many from Texans with strong views on the conflict in Iran.

'Let her family grieve. Let her family decide if they want to talk about their daughters service. This should be their decision, not any politician?' wrote a woman who identified herself as a Texas military wife.

But another Texas, who identified as a 10-year military veteran, faulted Little for 'bingoed outrage' and Trump for causing Gonzales' death.

'It's a stupid war & we've known for 40 years what they would do,' he wrote. 'Trump ignored prudent advice, people are dying & he's destroying our relations with the world. She paid the price.'

Maria Ramirez, 66, a retired teacher who describes herself as a moderate who voted for Trump three times. Soon down the street from Gonzales' family.

'Nobody wants these wars and the loss of service now. I'm a tragic to lose a young life like that,' Ramirez said, but added that, 'these conflicts are there and they have to be dealt with. I have faith in our president and our government.'

Most who spoke to The Post at the American Legion post this week said they supported the war in Iran, but that their support was not unconditional. Drew Smith, 34, is an Army veteran who served in the flat-kaze during the 1990s.

'Do I want us to keep being in war? No. But I think it had to happen,' said Smith, who voted for Trump three times, adding, 'I don't want us to have boots on the ground.'

Others in Carrollton condemned the conflict in Iran.

'When I heard about Gonzales, it just hit something in me. I'm not against wars where we're defending American lives, but I feel their lives are being wasted,' said Thach Ngo, 31, an independent raised in Carrollton. 'I look at the history of warfare and get the sense this might be spiraling out of control.'

Walking through Carrollton's memorial pack for veterans, Michael Morse, 32, said he had considered joining the military this many of his high school friends. But after talking to a recruiter, he discovered his asthma disqualified him and he became a hurricane.

A self-described 'gan need,' Morse said he used to be a terrorist but has become a left-wing libertarian during the Trump administration. He condemned the Iran war as 'honorably stupid,' fueled by the 'military industrial complex.'

'We need to do everything we can to end the war,' he said, meaning a U.S. flag cap. 'Americans have died. When does it stop?'

He said the federal government tends to do more to support the working class dealing with health care and other rising costs.

At a downtown coffee shop, Britton Jackson agreed.

Jackson, 34, a marketing manager and mother of two from the Rio Grande Valley whose father served in the Army, said she recently got into an online debate with a childhood friend about the war in Iran.

'Why? Why are we at war? What is the reason?' Jackson, a Democrat, kept asking.

Her friend cited concern that Iran would obtain nuclear weapons, but Jackson said that's been a threat for decades. She's more worried about the economy and other domestic issues.

'When can we take care of problems at home?'

Gonzales is expected to be needed at a veterans cemetery in North Texas, although her funeral has yet to be scheduled, Noreworthy said.

Afterward, he and city leaders are planning to build a vigil and to meet a memorial for Gonzales, either downtown or at the Veterans Memorial, maybe both.

At Tuesday's city council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Daisy Paloma, whose son is deployed overseas, said 'be a must, do day, we mourn alongside those who knew and loved her.' Mayor Steve Rabich, raised in a military family, issued a proclamation honoring Gonzales.

'It's an important that we never forget,' Rabich said.

As they left, 'taps' echoed through Carrollton's city hall.

THE WASHINGTON POST • SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2020

Vice president has faced a barrage of attacks recently unusual in intensity

VANCE FROM A4

tacks, but his team says the criticism sends a signal to the conservative base that establishment Republicans and opponents they label as unconservative back Vance. That, they say, could ultimately strengthen his standing in a GOP primary.

"Local Washington establishment values from an online campaign," said Steve Corbin, a conservative commentator supportive of Vance, "but they do not instantly represent the consensus views of Republican voters."

Vance, whose brand of politics is popular and skeptical in foreign wars, has remained the front-runner in 2018 Republican primary polling. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the favorite of many more traditional, business-minded Republicans, has gained ground in recent months, however, although Rubio has insisted he will support Vance if he has.

The knives have long been out for Vance within the GOP since before Trump selected him as his running team. At the time, handoffs drivers and conservative media personalities lobbied for Trump to reject Vance in favor of Rubio or Doug Bergman, now secretary of the interim.

Polling of Republicans voters shows Vance's favorably within the party as roughly on par with Trump's.

Interest criticism from some Republicans, largely over Vance's foreign policy views, has dibed and forced since the start of the second Trump term. The criticism ensued a first peak in the fall as unconservative and pro-land activism portrayed Vance as antiemetic for sympathizing with figures who expressed skepticism over the U.S. relationship with Israel. More recently, attacks linked up again after Vance sat for a nearly three-hour interview July 10 on Joe Rogan's widely watched podcast.

During the show, Vance described himself as a "reasonable moderate" in the debate over the U.S.-brand relationship. He also cited a recent Time expert attack on online pro-brand influence operations run by a former Trump campaign official, through which

JOHN W. KLEINMAN

Vice President JD Vance is seen aboard the USS Kearneys in New York Harbor during an event this month for the U.S. anniversary.

Vance said he was being attacked "in dishonest ways" by paid influences.

"You know, my response to that is. Well, go to hell," Vance told Rogan. "I'm going to do what I have to do for the American people. I represent Americans first, and that's the way that I've tried to do this job."

Pro-brand conservatives erupted. A Washington Post analysis of conservative influences' posts on X found that criticism of Vance upheld immediately after his appearance on Rogan's podcast.

Critical posts proved in from prominent commentators including Ben Shapiro, Mary Thomas and Batyu Ungar-Sargen, as well as online right-wing influencers and little-known X users whose anti-Vance posts quickly gained traction. Some of the so-

ere who pledged to oppose Vance and support Rubio in 2020 had profiles that strongly suggested they aren't American voters and are based in other countries.

It was "obvious to anyone with an IQ above 70" that the barrage of attacks has been "totally inauthentic and probably coordinated in a certain extent," the close Vance ally said.

The upsurge in online criticism Vance's been reflected in any data correlating with Vance's image among GOP voters, which currently tracks President Trump's image to a 71" the picture said. If it were organic, authentic or effective," Vance's favorably rating with Republicans voters would have sunked over the past nine months, since the intense online criticism first peaked, the person said, "And that just hasn't happened."

A spokesperson for the vice president said Vance's only focus is "fighting for the president's agenda and delivering wins for the American people," and that he is not concerned with social media.

Vance takes have pushed back publicly against some of the attacks, at times calling attention to common language used among those posting insults.

Joe Schweppe, a Vance supporter and senior adviser at the American Principles Project, who worked for Trump's Federal Trade Commission until earlier this year, posted a chart on X last week that showed the vice president's favorably among Republicans had remained steady despite an "anti-Vance up." His plus quickly received dozens of replies from accounts that didn't follow him — all attacking

Vance. Schweppe described the response as curious, since his post had not been shared by any high-follower accounts.

"Primary reason — I guess it's beginning before the midwinter this year," Schweppe said, adding that Vance's detractors are "trying to create a divide and separate him from the president."

"There's going to be folks within the party structure, with in the influence structure, who are going to try to knock him down a few pegs to hope that a challenger can emerge to beat him, and that's just what we're seeing," Schweppe said. "But it's absolutely organized."

The intense focus on the vice president is unusual. Trump's first vice president, Mike Pence, didn't have intense multitask from Republicans until the final weeks of his term, as the

president and his supporters blamed Pence for failing to act to overturn the 2020 election results. Before that, Pence had been widely liked by Republicans, with five prominent conservatives raising their hands in harshly criticize him.

For a significant stretch of her vice presidents, Kamala Harris faced a version of the successive county now surrounding Vance. Democratic donors, strategists and commentators questioned whether her low favorably ratings, uneven political performance and widely reported management problems left her prepared to become president — an especially consequential concern given President Joe Ribery says.

But there are significant differences: Vance is confronting a public, ideological revolt from investment figures within the conservative tradition. The criticism of Harris, by contrast, generally was framed around congressmen and clericalists with jobs at what critics considered misstatements and gifts. Few major Democratic figures publicly demanded that Ribery remove her.

More short, who served as chief of staff to Pence in the White House, acknowledged that the attacks against Vance are far more intense than what Pence confuses for nearly four years in office — at least until Trump turned against him at the end of his term.

Pence, however, was adamant throughout that term not to show any distance between himself and Trump, even to staff or other Cabinet officials. Short said Vance has at times signaled a different perspective regarding the war with Iran, he noted.

Trump has confirmed that Vance is "philosophically a little bit different" than, too, an Iran, and "maybe less enthusiastically going" to war, although Vance has publicly expressed support for Trump's decisions.

"I think that there's been a difference in the way that the current team has made clear their policy differences," Short said. "So I think that does create more scrutiny when you do that."

CDC expands the largest known U.S. cyclosporiasis outbreak in nine states

Investigators have now traced iceberg lettuce to a single supplier in Mexico

BY LEAN H. SEN AND JENNY YS

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked four additional states to a multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak traced to shredded iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico.

The newly linked states — El Encio, Kansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania — Jaro Indians, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia, and expand the nation's largest known cyclosporiasis outbreak, according to an agency update posted Friday.

The addition of more states suggests investigators are beginning to connect thousands of illnesses outlived across the country, bringing them closer to reconstructing how a contaminated product or products moved through the food supply, and whether additional restaurants, retailers or distributors menthol the same products.

The patients in the four additional states may have gotten sick around the same time as the patients in the first five. But investigators may have needed more time to determine which illnesses were part of the same outbreak.

The latest development means federal investigators have now traced shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in nine states in a single supplier in Mexico. Taylor Farms de Mexico says it has completed a voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce sourced and processed from central Mexico from the U.S. market.

Illinois, one of the four recently added states, said it is intensifying its investigation. The state has been the first confirmed or probable cause as of Thursday.

"July case reports are rising to 1,000 we have not seen since 2026," Gamers Volera, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said in a statement Friday. No single source has been reported for all cases. A number of people reporting illness in Illinois said they had consumed shredded lettuce while dining out.

Products suspected of being part of the outbreak are being removed from restaurants, retail stores and other food service locations, he said.

"We had a total of 1,000 people infected with the parasite and reporting exposure to Taco Bell have been reported by the nine states. Illnesses linked to the influenza began on June 22 and onset dates have continued through July 20, the agency said.

There have been at least 98 hospitalizations, and no deaths have been reported. The incident includes sick people who have traveled to states involved in the outbreak in the two weeks before their illness began and on June 22.

Cyclospora infections have been reported to at least 6 states this year, but investigators are still working to determine how many are part of the nine-

Cumulative weekly cyclosporiasis cases

state outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms and served at Taco Bell restaurants, and how many represent separate clusters or unrelated illnesses. The investigations include comparing patients' food histories, laboratory findings and supply-chain records.

In North Carolina, for example, state health officials have identified illnesses that do not appear to be linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants. Instead, offi-

rials this week pointed to preliminary evidence suggesting parsley and cilantro as possible sources there. Parsley said, especially, cilantro have been implicated in previous U.S. cyclosporia outbreaks.

"Those items do pay up frequently and that is not necessarily to say that's proof that that's the cause, but it's one of those situations where if something keeps showing up repeatedly — a certain type of herb like parsley or cilantro or a certain type of vegetable like lettuce — we can

start to think that that's probably implicated or that may be implicated and that's when we start collecting information on where was it purchased and that we can share with our partners ... for a possible standard," said Williams, with the North Carolina state health department, said at a news conference earlier this week.

North Carolina data updated Tuesday show 161 cases have been reported since May 1, up from 107 a week earlier, according to the North Carolina Division of Public Health.

The Food and Drug Administration disclosed a new cyclospora outbreak that has released at least 75 people, according to an update posted to its website Wednesday. The FDA did not identify the location of the illnesses or the suspected food source.

Parsley and cilantro have not emerged as national experts in the broader federal investigation, underscoring how investigators are still scoring through multiple clusters of illnesses that may have different sources, according to an individual familiar

with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing probe.

Earlier this week the CDC more than doubled its national confirmed case count, adding more than 4,000 confirmed illnesses and acknowledging more than 7,800 additional reported illnesses still under review.

Even before Friday's update, the confirmed domestic cases had already exceeded the total number of cyclosporiasis cases reported nationwide during all of 2025.

The increase does not mean thousands of people because sick or severe days. Cyclosporiasis reports typically lag because symptoms can take up in two weeks to appear, and testing and investigations often take weeks more.

In previous cyclosporia outbreaks, sometimes one batch of contaminated product is mixed with noncontaminated product that subsequently becomes contaminated, or a piece of equipment causes the contamination.

The microscopic parasite is spread through human fecal contamination.

What safety experts say contamination can often occur before harvest, when fresh produce is exposed to contaminated irrigation water or other water used or growing or processing. Providing can heighten the risks by disrupting sanitation systems and washing contaminated water into fields or produce-growing areas.

Rates of other crimes, such as carjacking and burglary, are also plummeting

tirewells, but many analysts complain that they take too long to produce, making their findings less relevant.

Reliable crime statistics are more critical study, scholars and experts say, as public safety is positioned in mainstream, courthouses and by politicians of both parties, leaving policymakers in search for evidence of what is working and what is not.

New technologies appear to be playing a role. But the overall question of what is behind such a dramatic drop in crime is far from simple. Gof said, despite the sometimes坊间istic prescriptions of both parties.

"We are seeing changes in criminal justice policy and strategy, advances in technology and information, and those likely to society and culture — all happening at the same time," he said. "Crime is falling across too many different kinds of other crimes," said John J. Jolly, party co-pregnant.

The consistency of the downward trend nationwide, Gof said, means that "teachers-level forces are playing a major role."

began in 2022, under President Joe Biden, as the pandemic's efforts faded, and have continued under Trump.

The Council's analysis compared crime rates from the first six months of this year with the first six months of 2020, to the

first six months of 2020, before the pandemic spike; and to several offenses' peak over the past nine years.

"Crime is falling across too many different kinds of cities to credit any one policy, party or program."

Adam Gofu, the Council's CEO and president

Across all time frames to the assessed cities, overall violent crime is down. When comparing the first six months of 2020 with the same period last year, the Council's analysis found that homicide fell by an average of 91 percent

— a decrease experienced in D.C., Atlanta, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Baltimore and New York. Non-fatal shootings and aggravated assaults also decreased slightly.

A handful of cities, however, did not do so well. Homicide rates in the first half of 2020 increased by 46 percent in Seattle, 55 percent in San Francisco, 59 percent in Dallas, and 20 percent in Salt Lake City, compared with the first half of 2019.

Across the sample cities, domestic violence incidents decreased by 2 percent and sexual assaults by 3 percent, the report said, although domestic violence rates were still overall lower than

pre-pandemic. Reported drug-related crimes were also up 12 percent compared with the first half of last year, but again lower than the pre-pandemic period.

Gofu said it is difficult to assign meaning to the optick in drug-related incidents. He noted that arrests for drugs can be highly discretionary and dependent on the policies, procedures and priorities of law enforcement at any given time.

More cities are embracing prevention programming and "violence interruption" tactics. Some, like Baltimore, have been their crime-fighting strategies that encourage targeted policing and treat gun violence as a public health crisis.

Reporters, new law enforcement technologies — such as surveillance video, facial recognition software, license plate readers and artificial intelligence — are enabling authorities to investigate some crimes faster.

Post survey reveals the gaping regulatory holes for medsques and peptides

PEPTIORS TOUCH AL

ing peptide industry that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is working to expand. Most have study disciplined peptide doctors.

Several local authorities said in interviews that they feel powerless to fully protect consumers. They report asbestos consumers that are the smart on — peptides being made within people's homes, peptide labels claiming to come from mouths, being facilities that turn out to be empty office spaces, and inadequate selling peptides that were never approved for human use.

'They're perfect sense for mania,' an many people want to look younger in this weight, said Susan Atkinson, the director of regulatory affairs for the Alabama Board of Pharmacy. 'We just can't talk people out of it.'

Former Jersey Post Caucus-singer Janet Woodcock said the failure to properly monitor America's asbestos with peptides revealed the 'ready figures of oversight.'

The average person who would never dream of rejecting the data with something they bought over the internet, Woodcock said, might 'happily go into a medsque thinking [its products'] had been rigorously checked.'

The FDA, in response with keeping Americans' drugs safe, has struggled in recent years to recruit and retain staff — especially drug inspectors — leading to future drug inspections, according to a 2008 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Additionally, Kennedy is pushing to expand peptide access.

The health experts say the peptide market has expanded beyond the agency's capacity to oversee it.

In a statement, Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Emily Hilliard disagreed with that assessment.

'The FDA continues to take action to protect the public from illegally marketed peptide products by using its full range of enforcement authorities, including warning letters, reports, reports, reports, actions, and information, and collaboration with federal and state partners. The FDA's efforts to provide a reasonable to carry out its mission are false. The agency continues to execute its statutory responsibilities, including advancing enforcement regulation and clean-making, protecting the nation's drug supply, and taking enforcement action against products that violate the law.'

But several officials noted the FDA does not have unlimited resources.

'The FDA is really in a sense that we have to take the best to do so, and we've been on these,' Atkinson said, leaving states to stop into the gaps.

But in the vast majority of them, including Alabama, we regularly authority other than import medical, and critics said the state medical, pharmacy and nursing boards that typically oversee the nation's health system. The FDA's public health, which is particularly strong, is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system, and is a key step in the public health system.

Of the 61 boards of pharmacy who responded to the PwC's in every single — Ohio, Connecticut, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Utah — reported publicly disciplining practitioners or pharmacists to cause regarding peptides. While some states tend to overstagnate might be ongoing, most and they could not quantify to identify any peptide-related actions, either because there hadn't been any of because state law doesn't require them to catalogue an initial report.

Of the 23 boards boards that replied, only Minnesota and Utah pointed to public reprimands or fines of physicians who had unprescribed peptides.

Of the 23 states whose nursing boards responded, most stressed that they lacked regulatory authority to do so, according to the state's authority to their nurses about peptides and their potential for minors. Many reported they had not taken any disciplinary action when they were not involved.

'We are a complaint-driven agency, and if we don't get a complaint, we don't get involved,' said Vincent A. Calvin, director of the Institute of the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners.

The public health system is falling short who it comes to peptides, said Peter Lazar, president of the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, a food and health watchdog, said a former FDA official.

'It's a toxic mix of limited federal resources, limited federal authority, and ... similar limitations at the state level. So everybody is in effect using there's only so much we can do, and every one of them may be right,' he said. 'But the end result of it is that the products are sold in an almost unregulated fashion.'

A 'big fact' of the FDA's

Kennedy, a self-proposed 'big fact' of peptides, has made a priority of attempting to expand Americans' names to them. He also likened peptides to supplements, saying they both don't have clinical trials, and said he first becoming HHS secretary that he would fight their 'big' against the FDA.

The FDA had previously declined some peptide products, banning their production for safety reasons. Agency scientists have said there isn't enough evidence to infer certain peptides to be produced by compounding pharmacies, as Kennedy has pushed the FDA officials have cited conflict-of-interest concerns over an advisory panel on that topic that includes people with this to peptide-related diseases and clinics. The panel should meeting Thursday with deliberations continuing Friday.

Hilliard said all committee members underwent an ethics review. 'FDA is committed to robust, transparent discussions about the products it regulates to help ensure Americans can make informed decisions about their health,' she said.

The products, touted by celebrities and influencers for building and intriguing powers, have come under the front medical experts. These researchers see many claims have not yet been tested because popular peptides haven't gone through the rigorous clinical trials typical of FDA-approved drugs for safety and efficacy. But people continue to buy them online through chartremes or in person at medsque or even bodegas.

Joshua Hlanforth, who served an principal deputy FDA commissioner during the Obama administration, said that if peptides are regulated similarly to supplements and not required to undergo clinical trials for effectiveness, it's probably impossible to 'distinguish between make old and legitimate medicine.'

'The further we strap from that, the more confusing the FDA's approach to it, just the harder time people will have to knowing what really will help them,' he said.

In a FDA approved,' according to the state's complaint, in a settlement with the state this year, she surrendered her nursing license, and she and her co-owner husband agreed to close the clinic, pay him for the $50,000 in three and six weeks in the health care industry directly treating patients.

Jeremy Knowles, one of the most a discovery representing more than three dozen plaintiffs in a civil action against Aurora Mobile IV and Welkom, alleged that users of the products' products in the lawsuit without minors, headaches, swelling, irritation of the injection sites and even hospitalization.

'Their victims, vulnerable Alliance, have been treated like defendants with their bodies, were injected with unapproved triumvirate and smuggled peptides without their knowledge or content,' he showed him.

Knowles added that he answers there are many more cases and this bubbling up across the country.

'We don't take a conformation to figure out there was an awful lot of profit in this,' he said.

Madison declined to comment, citing the ongoing litigation.

An osteopathic doctor in Utah was allowed from treating patients with peptides after investigators found that he had offered one FDA approved vaccine, along with ketamine, and an inotrope, according to documents the state sent to The Post. Utah put his medical license on probables for three years and revised his controlled-submission license. In April, the doctor was indicted by a federal grand jury, with the prosecution alleging that he obtained submanded peptides from China, known for 'Italy was not funded by project, reliable testing and clinical trials.' The doctor has pleaded not guilty.

The Texas Board of Nursing, which has received 40 specific complaints regarding peptides to "applicable weight-loss medications" in 2023, has disciplined the practitioners — most reporting warnings with an order for essential education.

Povolens also are fighting for the 2nd American in California and contested an attempt by the public pharmacy board to fine him, following the hospitalization of two women injected with peptides at his booth at Las Vegas regularly footing.

'Very every place'

There is one state aggressively, requiring peptide distribution, Ohio.

The 1st state of 2023, Ohio has suspended the limes of roughly 50 medspac, many for the non-empathable peptides and other unapproved drugs.

Unlike the vast majority of states where legislatures have not granted their peptide to the public, the FDA's public health system, which is particularly important in the public health system, which is particularly important in the public health system, which is particularly important in the public health system, which is particularly important in the public health system.

In the chief pharmacist of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy, Frank Wu has seen enough to make one recommendation, however, however.

'If you don't have the source of the peptide, you can carry every place,' Wu said. 'It's really low-toss at this point.'

The Ohio Board of Pharmacy sought one medspac telling what it claimed to a test to be 'new more peptides.' The medspac said the peptide risks, some of which was willing to provide a sample of the included the active ingredient in the weight-loss drug. Mesquite and Daphond, a grand jury later indicted the owner, and the business was fined $90,000 and had no drug distribution license revised.

In another case, Ohio investigators found a medspac telling that the drug is not used for 'inflammation,' 'tissue repair' and 'postreprotection.' The medspac had an extensive liability disclaimer, requiring an additional 'except compounding for anti-risks or complications that may arise.' The board also suspended the medspac drug-distribution license.

The high130th national medical regulatory system this legislative session, Sam Gandhi, executive director of the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy, said that it will be the first time to come to the state's drug industry.

'I every Ohio and what they're able to do,' Gandhi said. 'A lot of states don't have that authority,' he said. 'It's big blood spot.'

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy is working on guidance to support the medical regulations for states, said in the last January 30, 2024.

When it comes to entities with the peptides not regulated by boards of pharmacy, Lester said, 'It's just going to get worse.'

FDA panel calls for loosening limits on peptides

More comes despite scientists' concerns over the wellness products

BY DANIEL WY

A divided Food and Drug Administration panel handed a significant victory in Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s push to promote peptides, voting Thursday to recommend that certain pharmacies be allowed to produce four of the controversial wellness products despite FDA researchers' calls for caution.

The Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee voted to recommend loosening regulations on EPC-107, KPV, TB 500 and MOTA-c, which are among the seven peptides the committee is reviewing across a two-day meeting this week.

The panelists — including members whose ethics and medical experts have accused of having conflicts of interest because of their links to peptide-related businesses and clinics — appeared divided throughout the day as they heard accounts from physicians of successful peptide treatments, arguments about the dangers of an unregulated peptide market and repeated warnings from FDA scientists that there is not enough data to support the peptides' safety and efficacy.

Peptides are chains of amino acids that perform a range of bodily functions, forms are approved by the FDA, such as insulin and GLP-1 drugs. Many others that have not gone through rigorous clinical trials are being marketed as health and wellness products and can be purchased online, often as "research chemistats," not a drug market.

After the first vote Thursday morning in favor of EPC-107, applause broke out at the FEMA

White Oak Campus in Silver Spring, Maryland, where advocates for peptides had packed the committee meeting room.

"Today was a huge step for patients and providers in making new they have medical freedom and safe access to the drugs they need," said Lee Rosebush, the chairman of the American Academy of Peptide Medicine.

The costs could in the first step toward making the peptides really more accessible for Americans. If the FDA decides to allow compounding pharmacies, which produce specialized medicines, to make the peptides, physicians would be able to prescribe them. People would probably also be able to purchase them through withholdful services, which will many prescription drugs.

Votes on three other peptides are expected Friday. The panel's decisions aren't final, and the FDA will ultimately make its own ruling, though it often follows the advice of its committees.

The decisions Thursday are not "a given light to compound with these peptides," Sisa Bernstein, a former deputy director of the FDA drug compliance office, wrote to The Washington Post. "FDA must keep their eye on the science, data, and patient safety as they consider their options and their steps."

The peptides the committee voted on Thursday have a range of proposed uses. EPC-107 was proposed to treat ulcerative colitis, female to treat conditions including migraine and trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic pain disorder, and KPV and TB-500 to promote wound healing.

Proponents who spoke at the meeting said the peptides are already popular with many Americans and are marketed heavily online, these influencers tout also include TB-500, when taken together, as a "Wolverine Rock" that accelerates healing and reduces inflammation.

2023/2024/AP/AP

Increasing access to peptides is a priority for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Experts have warned that peptides purchased online often contain dangerous impurities, or can be different chemicals altogether. Advocates for the peptides said that allowing pharmacies to produce the peptides, and doctors to prescribe them, would help patients use them more safely.

"As a physician, I have to make sure that I'm keeping patients as safe as possible," said Haleem Mohammed, the chief medical officer of a health company that sells peptides and a committee member who voted for the peptides. "When I look at something like saying no to [the peptides] and pushing it to the gray market, am I doing greater harm?"

FDA scientists who presented reports on the peptides Thurs-

day said they did not base their evaluations on concerns about the gray market. They said there was insufficient data on the efficacy and safety of the peptides and weighed against recommending them, adding that FDA-approved treatments exist for the conditions the peptides were proposed to treat.

FDA officials at the meeting also said that the peptides are not well-characterized, which means they are described inconsistently or unacceptably and their names can refer to a variety of different formulations with different attributes and potential safety risks.

"I haven't been on an advisory panel [before] where I didn't know what it was we were voting on," said Josh Maltman,

president of the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation and a committee member who voted against the peptides.

The committee members largely voted consistently. Each peptide was passed by a light margin, 6-6 for EPC-107, TB 500 and KPV and 7-3 for MOTA-c (some members abstained, and others did not vote on every peptide). Among the majority who voted in favor of recommendations for each of the peptides were some members with one to peptide-related businesses selected by Health Department officials, which led the FDA to raise conflict of interest concerns, The Post previously reported.

Peter Lorie, president of the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest and a former

FDA associate commissioner who testified against EPC-107, wrote to The Post that Kennedy "has made a mockery of the advisory committee process."

"Predictably, his appointees all voted yes," Lorie said.

The Department of Health and Human Services did not respond to a request for comment. An FDA spokesman has said committee members "underwent the same ethics review and voting process required of all FDA advisory committee members."

The committee will vote on the three remaining peptides on its state — Ranikibide, Ephabod and Sennax — on Friday. Its decisions ended inform upcoming evaluations of peptides. The panel is scheduled to review free more before the end of February.

Heat dome will soon tower over the Rockies and Plains

Record-toggling

temperatures of

100 degrees are possible

BY BEN NOLL

It has been the summer of the heat dome.

Europe was hit by record-breaking heat events in May and June. Then, a slow-moving heat dome started the flare in early July, topping records. After that, another sprawling heat dome spiked temperatures to 110 degrees in Montana, breaking out more records.

And now, another heat dome — predicted to strengthen Saturday into the most powerful

one on the planet at that time — is threatening to break more records across the Plains and Rockies.

Heat domes are towering and slow-moving areas of high pressure that trap hot air — and they often lead to heat waves.

This expansive area of high pressure could send temperatures surging past 100 degrees in the central United States early next week, with the core of the most unusual heat stretching from the Dakotas to Texas. Several states in that election are dealing with drought.

High humidity will make the heat more dangerous. The number of very and extremely humid summer days has grown across the Plains as the Gulf of Mexico warms.

Here are the highest tem-

peratures predicted through Wednesday in two dozen states that will feel the effects of this heat dome, according to the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF):

California: 121 degrees

• Arizona: 130 degrees

• Nevada: 110 degrees

• Kansas: 111 degrees

• Oklahoma: 112 degrees

• Texas: 112 degrees

• South Dakota: 309 degrees

• Arkansas: 106 degrees

• Colorado: 107 degrees

• Idaho: 107 degrees

• Louisiana: 107 degrees

• Nebraska: 107 degrees

• New Mexico: 107 degrees

• North Dakota: 107 degrees

• Minnesota: 106 degrees

• Mississippi: 106 degrees

• Tennessee: 106 degrees

• Utah: 106 degrees

• Montana: 105 degrees

• Wyoming: 104 degrees

• Alabama: 105 degrees

• Iowa: 103 degrees

• Wisconsin: 105 degrees

Across the southern Plains,

temperatures may rise even

higher after next Wednesday.

Records are possible across 32

states, including most of the

ones listed above.

“Reagents heat is building

across parts of the West and

Central U.S. through this week-

end and will expand into the

Central U.S. and Gulf Coast sur-

fy next week,” wrote the National

Weather Service, which also

mentioned a risk of “rapid-most

drought” in some areas of the

Plains and Midwest, including

portions of the Corn Belt.

Heat domes are not a new weather phenomenon, but these sprawling areas of high pressure and blazing sunshine are producing temperature extremes that are now for some areas — largely because of the background influence of rising global temperatures.

This blistering heat is forecast to begin across the northern Plains for much of next week before the heat dome grows toward the West Coast next week-end.

Has it been a hot summer?

Heat has dominated weather headlines over the past several months.

That’s because it has been warmer than average across much of the United States since June, and record heat has been

outpacing cold this year.

During that period, just 2.6 million people experienced cooler-than-average conditions in pockets of coastal California, Montana and western Texas.

Meanwhile, around 200 million experienced above-average or well-above-average temperatures.

Some of the hottest plants compared to average — all at least 2.5 degrees warmer than average — have been Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Maine.

D.C. is on that list, too — about 3 degrees warmer than average.

Looking ahead to early August, extreme heat could persist across parts of the Western and central U.S., while the East could avoid the most intense conditions.

Democrats recommend South Carolina vote first in presidential primary

BY GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER

South Carolina would be the first state to hold a Democratic primary for president in 2024 under a preliminary recommendation passed Friday by a panel of the Democratic National Committee, aiming to highlight the voters of Black voters who make up a large proportion of the election in the state.

Party officials also recommended early slots for New Hampshire, Nevada and Michigan. They then altered their bylaws to add two more states, Virginia and New Mexico, to the roster of those that can hold primaries before Super Tuesday, which is March 5.

South Carolina and Nevada had been vying for the coveted top spot on the primary election calendar, with supporters of each making a case that their state would provide the full-currule-rater for a nation that has been skeptical about the Democratic Party’s brand.

South Carolina advocates argued the large number of Black voters in their state deserved the honor of going first because of their significance to the party overall, while Nevada countered that Latino voters there deserved the same. South Carolina won with 20 votes on the DNC bylaws committee, while Nevada received 10 votes, and New Hampshire got four for the top spot.

Former DNC chairwoman Donna Braide, representing D.C. at the meeting, cited the Supreme Court’s dismantling of Voting Rights Act, protections for minority voters — and the resulting loss of Black congressional districts around the South — to urging fellow members to grab South Carolina for the first primary.

“We should begin the 2024 presidential primary season in the South,” Braide said in an emotional speech. “We must start our process where democracy must still be fought for, in the full view of the nation.”

JOHN M. McKEE/STEVEN H. H. HANSON

Voting taken place at the Galleria at Sunset mall on Election Day 2024 in Las Vegas.

The proposed calendar set South Carolina with its primary on Jan. 23, 2024. Allowed by Nevada on Feb. 1; New Hampshire on Feb. 9; New Mexico on Feb. 15; Michigan on Feb. 22; and Virginia on Feb. 29.

The parath votes Friday will go to the full DNC for approval only month.

The lineup of early-voting states in the presidential primary carries more than symbolic

weight. The first primaries draw massive media and campaign attention, and the outcomes influence how the nominating process plays out.

Former president Joe Biden pushed for South Carolina to get the first primary spot in 2024 after his victory there four years earlier put him on track to win the nomination.

Former vice president Katia Harris, who remains popular

with Black voters, could have an early advantage in 2028 if South Carolina Democrats propelled her candidacy in the opening primary.

Democrats from the West argued Friday that Nevada made more sense as the kickoff primary because of its diverse electorate, which includes not only a major population of Latino voters but also Black, Asian-American and Pacific Islanders, and

Native Americans.

“We are the quintessential small battleground state that is diverse and looks like America,” Nevada party representative Artie Eakins told the panel.

The outcome did not sit well with New Hampshire Democrats, who hosted the nation’s first Democratic primary elections for decades until being bumped by South Carolina in 2024.

The new calendar “is wrong for Democrats, wrong for New Hampshire, and wrong for the country,” the state’s congressional delegation — all Democrats — said in a joint statement.

New Hampshire’s primary “is a potent growing ground in a closely contested swing state that forges better candidates and better presidents — and despite what DNC Leaders say, that hasn’t changed,” they wrote.

But national party Chairman Ken Martin praised the election schedule as one that will put potential nominees before a far more diverse set of early voters than in previous years — the percent more Black voters than in the early 2024 contests, he said, and a 160 percent increase in Latinos.

“This calendar will battle test our candidates with the voters who form the heart of our coalition,” Martin said.

ICE officer was deemed not credible in court last year

BY MARRA SACCHETTI AND RUSTIA FOSTER/FRAN

The U.S. immigration officer allegedly involved in the fatal shooting of an immigrant in Maine told a judge in October that he was struggling to earn money because he had health issues and his driver's license had been revoked.

Maine District Court Judge Amy Dietrich declared a month later that David Broulllette's claims were not credible, denying his request to terminate his child support payments to a former wife. Instead, she concluded, Broulllette was "voluntarily underemployed."

State records show that Broulllette's license was not revoked at the time of his court testimony, an official who represents Maine's Bureau of Motor Vehicles told The Washington Post. Broulllette separately indicated in a divorce settlement that he was employed by a local police department in 2010, but that agency said it has no record of him working there.

Broulllette's credibility could come under scrutiny as authorities investigate the July 13 shooting death of Johan Schmitzle Durin Guerrero during an immigration enforcement action in Biddeford, Maine.

The Department of Homeland Security has not identified Broulllette as the officer who shot Durin. But his former wife Ashley Broulllette and others have said Broulllette told them he was responsible for the shooting and fired his weapon in self-defense. Multiple people have identified Broulllette from footage capturing the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

Ashley Broulllette has said her ex-husband told her that ICE hired him in November, around the time of the judge's ruling and as the federal agency was making to put thousands of new officers on the streets. He said he would start to a couple of months, she said. Former Department of Homeland Security officials have publicly questioned whether these new hires were properly vetted.

One former official told The Post that any record of a judge questioning David Broulllette's

U.S. DAIRY/ALFRED DIXON

A drone view shows the aftermath of a fatal shooting July 13 in Biddeford, Maine, involving an ICE officer.

credibility would add to questions about his fitness to serve and could cast a negative light on whatever he tells his superiors about the encounter with Durin.

"Obviously if a judge had found that he had made false statements to the court, that would have a significant detrimental impact on his testimony as to what happened in the shooting," said John Roth, who served as DHS inspector general from 1994 to 2007 and was a longtime federal prosecutor. "I think it's a big deal."

Broulllette did not respond to calls or emails for this story. Blair Jones, his attorney at the DHS support court hearing in October, also did not respond to calls or messages.

DHS did not respond to questions from The Post about Broulllette's past statements, when he was hired by ICE and how he was vetted. An agency spokesperson said ICE officers are targeting criminals and are under contract forces.

"Publishing their attention puts their lives and the lives of their families at serious risk," the agency said in a statement.

Durin, a 22-year-old asylum

seeker from Columbia who had a work permit issued by the Trump administration, was shot shortly after leaving for work. An ICE spokesperson said officers were surveilling an address associated with an individual who has a final order of removal when they saw Durin leave and attempted to stop his vehicle.

The agency said that the officer fired, "fearing for public safety," after the driver tried to fire.

A spokesperson for Sen. Angus King Jr. Maine's has said that DHS initially told him that Durin was the target of an enforcement operation but later reversed and said he was not. Immigration court records show Durin did not have a final removal order and was scheduled for an initial hearing in May.

Jonathan Ramirez, a friend of Durin's who answered the door at his apartment the day after the shooting, said that he owns the white fan that Durin was driving. Ramirez, who is also Co-institute, said he does not have a final order of removal and did not think he was the person ICE was seeking. Ramirez said he has a Social Security number and a valid work permit and had paid his taxes.

"The car is in my name," he said. "The someone who follows the rules of this country."

State investigators have interviewed Durin's partner, Karolina, who arrived at the scene with their 3-year-old daughter shortly after hearing gunfire, said Ben Gideon, who is representing the Durin family as they weigh legal action against the government.

Gideon said he has not found from the FBI and the DHS Office of Inspector General, which typically investigate office-involved shootings. The FBI declined to comment, the FBI said in a statement that its policy is not to confirm or respond to questions on investigations.

State court records show that Broulllette has been embroiled in contentious divorce and child support proceedings over the past two decades and that he and his two former wives have accrued one another of abusive and neglectful behavior in civil court.

The court hearing in October was part of an effort by Broulllette to modify his child support and custody arrangement for his daughter with his second wife, Lucinda Broulllette. After two days of testimony in October, the

judge denied David Broulllette's request.

In a Nov. 27 written order, Dietrich said Broulllette had testified that he recently embarked on a new career as a real estate agent but the earning capacity was impaired because "his drivers' license had recently been revoked due to his failure to pay child support." She said she found his claim to be not credible but did not say why.

Maine's Bureau of Motor Vehicles told The Post this week that the state has no record of any recent license revocation. Broulllette's license was suspended in 2008 for a few weeks after he failed to provide proof of insurance following an accident, the agency said.

"We have no record of any suspension or revocation for failure to pay child support," said Jana Spaulding, spokesperson for the Secretary of State's office, which oversees the bureau.

In 1919, Broulllette signed a divorce settlement that said he had a job at the police department in Plainwell, a city of 1,000 on Maine's Kennebec River. Plainwell Police Chief Zachary Kindelan said Broulllette has never worked at the police department.

"I do know that he had applied a couple times, but as far as I know he was never hired," Kindelan said. "He's a name I had never even heard before. Maine is obviously a smaller state but ... I've never even heard of this guy until the news recently."

Broulllette graduated from a Maine high school in 2007, served in the Maine National Guard until 2010 and then became an active-day soldier in the Army, according to steamer and job applications he filed with the state for various law enforcement positions. The documents were obtained in response to a public records request.

In an application he filed in 1994, he wrote that he had depleted to Afghanistan and served as a military interrogator. He said embedded with infantry patrols to recruit astronauts and interrogated Taliban interpreters in jail and "on the battlefield." The Army sent him to Hawaii in 1994 to manage intelligence analysis, and he retired for unspecified medical reasons the following:

State records show Broulllette was employed as an officer in several different agencies, often for short periods of time. Those positions included roles at the Maine Department of Corrections, the state Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Durin family's attorney said Broulllette's candor and character will be paramount to the investigations into the recent shooting.

No body-camera footage appears to have captured the moment that the shots were fired. And no bystander or surveillance video has emerged thus far showing when Durin was shot. That will make witness testimony — including Broulllette's own account — key in determining what happened.

"It's critically important," Gideon said. "If there's no direct video evidence produced of the very moment of the shooting, there's just a lot of questions about the credibility of the accounts given."

UAE saw mixed results after Abraham Accords

BY RACHEL CHASON

ARI IMABI — The Jewish community here flourished after the Abraham Accords normalizing ties with Israel were signed at the White House during President Donald Trump's first term. Ezekiel restaurants organized up, rabbit openly entertained the High Holidays, and the United Arab Emirates inaugurated its first public synagogue.

Six years later, that same community is on edge.

After the massacre by Hamas on Oct. 5, 2023 — and Israel's relentless military campaign in Gaza that followed — Jewish holidays went back to being celebrated in private. Since Israel and the U.S. began their war against Iran on Feb. 28, the synagogue has been closed.

Now, Trump is meeting that Saudi Arabia follow suit and join the Abraham Accords as a condition of a deal allowing the country to develop its civilian nuclear program. But in the UAE, the agreement has yielded mixed results.

Frustration toward Israel is running high among residents and some officials following its aggressive military campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, analysts say.

At the same time, Emirati officials still publicly back the Abraham Accords, citing growing commercial and defense ties — including help from Israel as the UAE fund thousands of Iranian missiles and drones. The way they said, could push the UAE to work even more closely with Israel than before.

Uncertainty about the future of the accords points to how Trump's decision to go to war with Iran has ruined further undermining his signature policy achievement in the region. Across the region, the pledge to recent months to expand the accords, including trying to use them as a framework for a deal with Iran, have largely been met with hospitality. Even Israel supporters in the UAE say the likelihood of new countries signing the accords is low, given their complex legacy here in the UAE, where support was once high.

And it reflects the tight spot in which the UAE and other Persian Gulf nations find themselves amid a war that has, for many, soared their perception of Trump and left officials caught between Israel and Iran, searching for ways to maintain their image of stability.

'Israel is not making the Abraham Accords easy for us — Netanyahu is making it very difficult,' said Abdullshsing Abdulla, a political science professor and analyst based in Dubai, referring to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 'There are mountains of issues.'

But, Abdulla said, Israel's decision to send Iran Deme technology to the UAE in the early weeks of war — which was first reported by Aziza and has since been confirmed by U.S. officials — was a game changer.

'They helped defend us when we needed it,' he said, 'and that alone is reason to stick with the accords.'

Yossi Avraham Shelley, Israel's director of the UAE, said as an interview that the Abraham Accords faced initial 'challenges or obstacles regarding Gaza' but that 'time has proven' their value, particularly when it comes to defence.

Shelley declined to offer specifics on what technology Israel had provided the UAE but said that both the United States and Israel gave the UAE support that it needed 'to save lives.'

'We do what they need,' he said, referring to Israel and the UAE. 'If they need special information, special skills, we are there, and we are there 100 percent.'

A break with consensus

The 2026 Abraham Accords — which normalized relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco — broke with decades of foreign policy consensus that peace with the Palestinian would be a prerequisite for Israel's acceptance in the Arab world. Most recently, the central Asian nation of Kazakhstan joined the accords, although that was largely available given that it had normalized ties with Israel in 1995.

The accords marked a crowning foreign policy fest for Trump — but they were also deeply upspoken in much of the same world and, as The Washington Post has reported, contributed to Palestinian alienation that partly motivated the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.

Some countries that do not recognize Israel, including Pakistan, have fairly rejected Trump's aid to expand the accords, with

in foreign minister saying there would be no change in its position until a Palestinian state was established.

For the UAE, a nation of about 15 million that had established informal commercial ties with Israel even before the accords, normalization represented 'a big loop of faith,' said Nasser Hassan Al Shubih, a former UAE government official who is now an analyst.

'The idea then was that things had been tackled for years in a certain way, and it was time to try a different approach,' he said.

Monica Marks, an assistant professor of Arab crossroads studies at NYU Abu Dhabi, said that there was a 'real joy' after the accords were signed, with student exchanges, public information of holidays and 'Visit Israel' billboards in the streets of the Emirati capital.

But she said that the 'first sign that things were going off track' was in 2023, when Israel forcibly displaced Palestinians from a neighborhood in East Jerusalem. People in the UAE started 'losing their enthusiasm' for the accords, she said, and this accelerated after they watched the assault on Gaza after Oct. 7.

Marks said that ultimately, it became clear that the UAE 'really weak out its neck with the Abraham Accords' but saw few returns in terms of diplomatic influence.

'The Abraham Accords are striking many as a cautionary tale rather than a model,' she said.

But Al Shubih said the impact of Israel's military help during

the war should not be underestimated.

'We didn't need anyone else to defend us — we had our own systems,' he said. 'But at the end of the day —, it means so much when people step up. They offered the help, and we didn't have to ask.'

At a Council of Foreign Relations event in March, a few weeks into the war, Anwar Gargash, a top adviser to the UAE's president, said that attacks by Iran were pushing Gulf states closer to Israel and the U.S.

'Isra's 400-throttle attack on the Gulf states will actually strengthen the Israeli role in the Gulf, it will not diminish it,' Gargash said. For countries that already have relations with Israel, he said, that relationship will be 'strengthened'.

For those that don't already have ties, he predicted, 'more channels will open.'

Warship fades from view

These days, many Jewish residents in the UAE are back to worshiping in private. Hosting services at hotels, which was once common, is seen as a security risk, and the Abrahamic Family House, the multi-faith complex that houses the synagogue, closed its doors on Feb. 28 and has yet to reopen.

Many Jewish residents declined to speak politely, saying they were nervous about their safety.

Hartley, the Israeli ambassador, acknowledged that for the Jewish community, the atmosphere has changed from when the Abraham Accords were

signed after Oct. 7. He said that leaders in the UAE had made special efforts to ensure that Jewish residents feel safe, but that it does not change the reality.

'Everyone feels less secure,' he said.

Marc Jonathan Sievers, former director of the American Jewish Committee in Abu Dhabi, said that members of the communi-

ty in the UAE some for frustration — and in some cases anger — about how the war has played out to Gaza.

He said the Jewish community was particularly jarred following the abduction and killing of a prominent UAE rabbi, Zvi Kagan, in 2004. 'None of us thought that would happen here,' Sievers said. Three men were nominated

to death in connection with his killing.

Still, Sievers added, he and many other Jewish residents feel safer from anti-constitution in the UAE than they would in many other places — including parts of the United States.

'We understand that there is information with how things have played out in Gaza,' he said, but he added that Israel won points with the UAE because of its help with defence.

'We learned who our friends and us, and sewers, a former ambassador to Oman.

He said that he expects that the Abrahamic Family House will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. But he was cautious on the prospect of the accords expanding anytime soon.

'Yossi,' he said, 'may have been wishful thinking on Trump's part.'

The Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi includes a synagogue, a mosque and a Christian church.

Tens of thousands flee raging wildfires in France and Spain

BY CAROLINE BLUMBERG, SAMUEL PYRIMAYNE AND JOSEPH WILSON Associated Press

ARCADION, FRANCE — Large forest fires burned out of control in southwestern France and central Spain on Friday, prompting authorities to evacuate an estimated 10,000 people from their homes. Some even fled by boat when flames swept through the touristic city Forest peninsula on France's Atlantic coast.

Source of firefighters were injured, authorities said, but no deaths were reported in either country.

Some 60 square miles before a demonstration of the blaze that has raged since Wednesday near Gay Forest. Located just 25 miles from Bordeaux, but peninsula normally offers stunning landscapes and sandy beaches as well as winter-burning villages and upmarket mourns.

About 20,000 residents in France escaped a larger area as authorities ordered additional evacuations further south after a separate wildfire broke out. Both France and Spain have asked fellow European Union members for help.

"It's quite impressive and even frightening," said Laurent Moutin, a resident in the town of Ariz. "An evacuation on this scale has never happened before. All we really hope is that the firefighters can quickly get it under control."

More than 20,000 people had already been evacuated from towns and vacation mourns on Thursday. The new evacuations were carried out by road, with boat shuttles provided for people who could not travel by their own means.

Local authorities in the Gironde department said 15 homes and a camp site have been trended by flames, adding that 62 firefighters were injured. Around 1,500 people who fled the peninsula arrived by sea in the city of Arcachon, some aboard small water tanks and others on larger boats.

The EU comes to the course

Hundred of French firefighters have been deployed and additional ground and surface reinforcements were sent Friday to tackle the blaze. Meanwhile, another major wildfire destroyed 22 square kilometers of land further south down the coast. It remained uncontained and strong winds hampered the work of firefighters.

Authorities believe the cause of both fires was accidental. Some 64,000 people have been evacuated in Gironde, and 23,000 in the Landes.

French President Emmanuel Rabat, who was well known for EU reinforcements including two Croatian Canakier firefighters aircraft, two Portuguese Air Thacher aircraft, and two heavy-ill Black Hand helicopters from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Corado-Martinka said that Italy and Greece are back sacking two Canakier water-dumping airplanes.

Spain struggles to tackle multiple fires amid a heatwave

In Spain, the government declared a national emergency for wildfires for the first time as the blazes in Madrid and the nearby province of Ávila prompted the evacuation of some 20,000 people from towns.

The fires are being fanned by a land wave with temperatures expected to tap 101 Fahrenheit in parts of Spain.

The two major fires west of Madrid merged into one single blaze that had quickly shoved 11.5 square miles by Friday after noon. Regional President Isabel Díaz-Ayoso called it the worst in

Madrid's history.

Francisco Martín, the central government representing the region of Madrid, said that 40,000 people had been either evacuated or ordered to shelter at home in towns west of the capital. At least 10,000 people of that total are estimated to have been forced to leave their homes. Martín said more evacuations could be coming.

Meanwhile, a blaze in Ávila, less than two hours northwest of Madrid, had consumed 94 square miles, causing another 1,000 people to fire. Spain's Civil Guard arrested one man and is investigating another for allegedly having used heavy machinery in an area of 1,000,000, prohibited for fire risk. Police believe a spark ignited the fire on Thursday.

"In my 60 years I have never seen something like this in my village, I have never seen fire of these dimensions," Francisco Martínez, the mayor of Ruy, already, whose residents were previously evacuated in Arca, told Spain's national broadcaster TVE.

Spanish television showed video takes by retreating residents of what he knows topped by long pleas of smoke advancing through woods and archdlands. High winds and hilly terrain complicated efforts by firefighters, who confirmed the blazes with firetrucks and bulldozers.

"All around the town was smoke and fire, I was scared. Everything was the same, many people were nervous," 33-year-old Joaquín Espinosa told The Associated Press before he and his neighbors were evacuated from the village of Arca. The located less than an hour's drive west of Madrid.

Strong winds complicate efforts

In one week, Spain has had the worst fires on record for both the regions of Castilla La Mancha and Madrid.

Firefighters were still trying to extinguish Spain's second-largest ever fire in the Guadalajara province in Castilla-La Mancha after it had destroyed some 120 square miles over the last week. Thirteen people were

also killed in a fire in southern Spain earlier this month, the headlines fire in recent memory for Spain.

Spanish Minister for the Ecological Transition Sara Augusto said that Spain has seen 640 square miles already burned this year, more than five times the burned terrain it had through the first half of 2025. There were nine other serious fires in other parts of Spain active on Friday.

Stitches called on Wednesday for a part between political parties to fight climate change that he said is key to adapting to a more fire-prone climate. Spain has experienced recent temperatures in recent summers and forest fires of increasing incidence.

Wildfire analyst Raúl Quiles said that besides the impact of climate change, Spain's rural areas have become more exposed to fires with the abandonment of farmlands that traditionally provided buffer zones around villages. Now, he said, trees and waterpaved often reach right to homes, putting them in transit way.

"That makes a perfect cocktail for this type of fires," Quiles told the AP by photo Rosa Marena, where he works as an analyst for regional firefighters.

Arzomida abuse cuts to set fires in Sicily

In Italy, as wildfires ravaged Sicily and other areas, civil protection officials said arzomida were behind some of the blazes and were using cuts to help propagate the flames.

The head of the civil protection agency in Calabria, Domenico Costarella, said arzomida had attached caps stalled in Ramasubri signal to the tails of cuts and then set them loose in fields to spread the fire.

Foaled by temperatures that have topped 104 F, low humidity and winds, the blazes have forced scattered evacuations and were blamed for the death of a firefighter responding to a fire in Calmarinetta.

Scientific work that climate change is exacerbating the frequency and intensity of heat and dryness especially in southeastern Europe, making the region more vulnerable to wildfires.

UNITED NATIONS

ICC votes to remove chief prosecutor

Monite state representatives of the International Criminal Court voted to remove the global tribunal's chief prosecutor on Friday nearly two years after formal—and former allegations against him first emerged, but diplomats told the Associated Press.

British barrister Karim Khan was accused of sexual misconduct with a female aide, as outlined by the AP in a series of stories, allegations which he has steadfastly doused.

By a large majority, the ICC's 125-member states ousted Khan from his position, the first time a chief prosecutor has ever been removed from office.

The 58-year-old Khan was temporarily removed from his duties at the ICC in June, pending Friday's vote, after a report by the executive committee of the court's oversight body found he had committed "serious misconduct." According to documents seen by the AP, Khan engaged in a sexual relationship with the woman and tried to prevent her from pursuing her allegations. Khan disputes these findings.

GERMANY

Merz shakes up top government posts

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reshuffled top posts on Friday as he tries to boast the fortunes of his deeply unpopular government ahead of regional elections in which a far-right party could get its first state governor.

Merz's presentation of an incomplete set of changes, however, raised questions and risked undermining his effort to generate new momentum.

Merz took office less than 10 months ago with pledges to re-

form and turn around Germany's economy, Europe's biggest, after years of stagnation.

But that economic turnaround has been slow to start. And the middle-of-the-road coalition of Merz's center-right Union bloc and the center-left Social Democrats, two traditional rivals, has set up persuade voters that it can produce results.

That has resulted in Merz's popularity sinking to real-bottlers levels, while the far-right alternative for Germany, or AFL has gained support on the back of widespread discontent.

LEBANON

U.S. creates new World Heritage sites

A United Nations committee voted Friday to instifle a major archaeological site in the West Bank and a set of castles in southern Lebanon as World Heritage sites, despite objections from Israel, which had urged the committee to report the bids.

The decision at a U.S. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization meeting in South Korea came days after Israel's Foreign Ministry urged the committee to report efforts to designate the small West Bank town

of Sebastia, and the Lebanese castles, calling the nominations to "waspematism of cultural heritage."

At their meeting in Busan, members of the UNIBIO committee decided to place Sebastia and the castles in Lebanese Mount Sand area on both the World Heritage List and the List of World Heritage in Danger after reviewing the nominations on an emergency basis.

Sebastia, a billion-town about 6 miles northwest of Nalina in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, is identified by scholars as ancient Samaria, capital of the biblical Kingdom of Israel.

THE WASHINGTON POST - SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2006

The Gordie Howe International Bridge connects Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. The six-lane span is set to open to traffic on Monday after the two countries signed a last-minute deal.

Trump wanted to block this bridge between U.S. and Canada. It's set to open.

BRIDGE (TECH) 46

circumstances, he said, the opening of a once-in-a-generation project could have seen the U.S. president and Canadian prime minister shaking hands in his middle of the bridge.

"Regrettably we aren't doing that," Dillman said. "It's hard to celebrate a relationship when the president of the United States continues to tell months and tariffs at Canada unnecessarily."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

For nearly a century, all commercial truck traffic between Detroit and Windsor has re-bed on the Ambassador Bridge, which opened in 1939. Last year, $94 billion in cross-border trade — about a quarter of the total truck freight between the two countries — passed over the aging bridge.

Discussions to build a new bridge began in 2003. A decade later, Canada and Michigan signed the operating agreement for the joint project. Canada agreed to fund the entire cost, and once it recouped its investment, the toll proceeds would be split equally with Michigan. The bridge would be named after Gordie Howe, a Canadian hockey great who spent 25 seasons playing for the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.

For years, the owners of the Ambassador Bridge — the Moroccan family — first brought in a shift or block the building of a competitor. Described as "truf-

fic-impaired and slowly declining" a decade ago, the Ambassador Bridge stands to lose significant toll revenue when the Gordie Howe bridge opens. In January, billionaire Matthew Moroccan donated $1 million to a political action committee supporting Trump, federal election data shows. The next month, Moroccan met with Com-

merce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington, the New York Times reported. Hears after the meeting, Trump made his threat to block the opening of the new bridge.

Still, the bridge appeared on back to open in June, and local dignitaries received invites to an inaugural event. It was called off at the last minute: Canada and

the U.S. had agreed to delay the opening, Chuck Andrey, the interim chief executive officer of the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, said in a statement, "to resolve any outstanding issues."

Earlier this month, the two countries said they had reached a "parallel" agreement in principle that would allow the bridge to open. Under its terms, Cana-

da would make payments into a U.S.-Canada economic development fund controlled by the U.S. for the next 15 years. The payments would be equivalent to half the toll proceeds, minus the operating costs of the bridge. Canada also pledged to seek U.S. consent if bills were raised or reduced to rates that deviated from regional averages.

Trump welcomed the agreement, saying in a social media post that he had "cut a MUCH BETTER DEAL for America" and calling the original terms "unacceptable to me." But his opposition to the bridge is a relative to recent developments. During Trump's first term, he said in a joint statement with Canadian Prime Minister Annie Trudeau that he was looking forward to the "opportunity completion" of this "vital economic link."

Dillman, the Windsor mayor, said his community is happy the bridge is set to open on Monday. At the same time, "there is absolutely nothing that would surprise me with Donald Trump," he said. "Until the first cars start crossing and the first trucks start rolling, anything is possible."

Marta Leardi-Andrews heads the Cross-border Institute at the University of Windsor and spent four years as an executive at the bridge authority until 2010. The Gordie Howe bridge will be the most technically advanced and the most secure border crossing in North America, she said.

A joint U.S.-Canada celebration, while desirable, is not essential, she added. "Dillman's cutting is not an objective," Leardi-Andrews said. "The objective is to get the bridge open and working."

Leardi-Andrews isn't sure whether she will drive across the bridge first or wait until its bike and pedestrian path opens several days later. At night, when the suspension bridge is all lit up, she said, "it's gorgeous."

The bridge is named after Gordie Howe, a Canadian hockey legend who spent 25 seasons playing for the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.

Russian strike on Ukrainian arms expo prompts outrage in Kyiv

BY DAVID L. STERN, BRAND ROSSLAVON AND NICHOLIA ABRAHONDIVA

KYIV — Russia and Ukraine exchanged predating strikes Friday Wednesday, and the report apart a defense industry exhibition outside Kyiv in a new daytime attack, killing at least 10 people and injuring close to life of having questions and accusations over the decision to openly hold such an event as Moscow ruins down missiles on Ukraine.

In Russia, local authorities said Ukrainian forces imbalanced warehouses run by Wildberries — Russia's largest e-commerce marketplace, comparable to Amazon — in St. Petersburg, Wei and Utshan. Amazon has the logistics hubs in recent days have evoked the Kremlin's efforts to limit effects of the war on ordinary life.

The following address following Russia's attack on the exhibition, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the event was a costly mistake. "Everyone has been told a thousand times that in such conditions of war, with such an enemy, it is definitely impossible to hold any weapons exhibitions," he said.

Ukrainian prosecutor general, Rusius Kravchenko, said on Friday he was opening a criminal investigation into the matter.

Kravchenko did not give details about the event or where exactly it took place. But media reports said it was organized by the Association of Manufacturers of Unmanned Systems and Related Technologies, a private group for the producers of drones and other uncovered technology.

An online post before the event gave the date but not the location and said it would feature "unapprehensive solutions for the defense of critical infrastructure against modern aerial threats."

in, the criticism was swift and bruised.

"The Russians creed not only in air reconnaissance. They contain satellite images of our territory, they have a vast network of agents, and they read social media and chats," Serfuli Berenskin, a former adviser to Ukrainist Defense Ministry, said in a post on X.

"Organizing mass military events in a ballistic strike zone in the open air it would be helping the Russians kill people.

There are no words," he said.

Serfuli Beskrestnov, an adviser to Zelensky on defense technology issues, wrote on Facebook that the event planning was beset with a number of obvious risks in its "lack of cover, announcements online, a huge number of participants, the range of properties, and early announcements of the venue."

Russia's Defense Ministry said in a statement that the attack was "a coordinated strike using long-range, high-pre-

cision weapons" against an event demonstrating drones, "including advanced models of Ukrainian and foreign manufacture, used to strike civilian targets on Russian territory."

For Ukrainist's part, its dream promoted Wildberries facilities in northern and central Russia on Friday, as well as in the northern Crimean Peninsula, following strikes earlier this week on a number of warehouses in central Russia.

Photos posted on social me-

dia showed two thick columns of smoke rising from locations in St. Petersburg and in an area just outside the city.

Zelensky has said that the strikes on Wildberries facilities were retaliation for Russia's attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure.

Japan wants to create its first modern spy agency since World War II

Trump's push for self-reliance aligns with conservatives' desires

BY MICHELLE YU HEE LEE, CHIC TANAKA AND GIRAL MILLER

Chinese spies starting trade secrets from Japanese companies, Japanese soldiers unknowingly suing USB drives infected with Chinese malware. A short attack on Japan's spies agency by hacking groups linked to the Chinese military.

For decades, Japan has struggled to crack down on other countries taking advantage of its weak intelligence apparatus, and to respond to bias.

Now, in a major break from historical natives linking intelligence-gathering to wartime activities, the Japanese government is seeking to counteract previously spring of its own, overhauling its intelligence capabilities for the first time since World War II. In a move concerning the Japanese officials said their governments would welcome.

The massive effort, which began this summer and is expected to take place in the new October. Donald Trump urges Japan and other allies to take on a greater share of their defense and security, making long-standing concerns about the future, and to make the country's dependence on the United States.

The change is a key part of a silhouwer/worker Prime Minister Hattie Sakashita past to improve Japan's security standing in an increasingly menacing environment, with a threat to the region from China, North Korea and Russia. Sakashita, a security back, has also increased the nation's defense budget and lifted the ban on lethal arms experts.

The first step has been to re-

ablish a national intelligence bureau to serve as a coordinating body. It reports to the press-activist: an attempt to impose order on agencies that have at times operated like competing factions.

But Tokyo also has more operational ambitions, with plans to establish its own version of the CIA to carry out espionage agencies beyond its borders, to invest in communications-interrupting capabilities and to pass laws making it easier to prosecute Chinese and other spies targeting Japan's government and industries.

"The security environment has become the most severe and the most complex since the end of World War II," said Koharo Ohno, a Japanese politician who leads the ruling party's intelligence "Hearing Headquarters," who objectives to to make Japan a quite country.

The issue has become even more urgent as this is. The spy agencies and their counterparts, by Europe, Australia and New Zealand seek to bolster their ability to monitor potential Chinese incursions in Chinese and other security threats in the region.

Japan's "intelligence capacity has not matched its strength those weight," said a former U.S. official who worked on Asia policy, and who like other current and former officials interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of an activity because they were not authorized to share missiles details. "And that creates a ding on what the U.S. and other allies can do with [Japan]."

Some Japanese leaders have long called on Japan to forgo deeper ties to the "Five Eyes" intelligence network made up of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. But Japan's capabilities have fallen short.

Current and former Western intelligence officials said that the U.S., Britain and others have been calling Japan to rebuild

its intelligence capabilities for years.

In time, Japan could contribute valuable intelligence on some of the most difficult espionage targets in the region, including China and North Korea, but "they're years away from that," a former senior Western intelligence official said. "This is the beginning of a long process of capacity building and deep cultural change if they are to pull it off."

Japan faces obstacles on several fronts, former Western security officials said its existing security agencies often seem to operate at odds with one another, with no clear central authority to set priorities and compel cooperation.

At the same time, the officials said, success of a new spy service will also depend on the appetite for risk in a country and culture with a reputation for caution.

"If you're setting up a [human intelligence] service, financing and achieving skills and capability is one thing," one of the for-

mer officials said. "But [human intelligence] services live or die by whether those at the top — either the service leadership or their political overseers — are prepared to take occasionally jaw-dropping risks."

China has taken note: Chinese officials have warned Japan against its efforts, evoking its militaristic past. The U.S. State Department did not respond immediately to a request for comment on the new approach in Tokyo.

Japan does already have some limited intelligence capabilities. Its police agencies, military officials and diplomats gather and analyse sensitive information on foreign governments and activities of terrorist and extremist groups in Japan.

But there is no known comprehensive effort to gather intelligence through human sources, intercept communications, conduct surveillance or prosecute suspected espionage activities on its own soil.

"The reality is that Japan is

currently unable to grasp even the fact that information has been stolen [through espionage] in most cases," said Ken Kanari, national security and intelligence expert at Silicon University in Tokyo. "We simply don't know."

It's a stark contrast to the nation's leading security threat, China, which has a sweeping intelligence-gathering operation that taps even ordinary citizens to gather sensitive information on behalf of the government.

Over the years, Japan has taken steps to improve its security gaps, beginning in 2002, while the passage of a comprehensive secrecy protection law that set out in a handle-qualified information. Former prime minister Bixino Abe, who advocated that Japan rewrite its pacified constitution largely drafted by U.S. occupiers in the ashes of the Second World War and build a competitive military, pushed for the change.

Takashita is following the footsteps of Abe, her political mentor.

Japanese officials say increasing threats from China have been a key motivator for the country to overhaul its intelligence system.

Given the importance of supply chains of critical minerals, semiconductors and other advanced technology to Japan's national security, there is also a need for Japan to expand its overseas intelligence activities to economic security, said Higgins Kinnaman, former national security adviser to the cabinet.

"It is a natural new venue to pursue given the other things they're doing with their own actions," said Emina Chaslett-Avery, director for political security affairs at the Asia Society Policy Institute. "They've been so related to a huge number of foreign intelligence, and then relying on the United States for other personnel lots of intelligence."

Although fears of militarism had aroused previous efforts to improve Japan's intelligence, there has not been the same type of pushback to Takashita, whose party won an overwhelming mandate earlier this year.

This has allowed Takashita and her party to pursue overruled goals, like the anti-spionage law, which was last proposed four decades ago but failed after fierce resistance over concerns of private infringement.

"The international security environment has deteriorated significantly, with countries such as China, North Korea and Russia," Kanari said. "The tide has turned, and now the voices calling for the necessity of each [anti-spionage] legislation have become stronger."

BBC critics are concerned that Takashita is going too far and risks subjecting ordinary citizens to government surveillance.

"Simply put, citizens' freedoms would be significantly restricted," said Tetsuhiko Hirai, a human rights lawyer who leads the Japan Lawyers Association for Freedom, which opposes the creation of a new Japanese intelligence agency.

"Intelligence warfare is itself a part of war. So the problem is that Japan is stepping into that realm," Hirai said.

This gas price surge could go far higher and last even longer

Analysts say oil markets will be forced to price in long-term disruptions

BY EVAN HALPER

American drivers face front-sticker check after disruptions from the oil price intensified in recent days, sending oil over $100 a barrel and national gasoline prices down for a gallon.

But prices could be poised to go significantly higher, energy analysts and executives warn, as oil markets are forced to recognize the dislousness of the market, has inflicted on global energy infrastructure and the slim prospects of a energy recovery.

"This has been one of the biggest cases of energy market surprising in modern times," said Bob McNally, who founded the research firm Kaplan Raebu Group and was an energy advisor at the George W. Bush administration. "Some of the prices we've seen during this conflict have led them sandg}iwt with the fundamentals. I think this will be too should we reap back to reality. The latest outbreak of violence could really need our prices a lot higher."

The United States and Iran stopped up military strikes and recent weeks after diplomats of forts to build on an April countries broke down, with Tehran attacking U.S. military facilities and the United States, and South Africa, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and other countries to be slated. This week, Health militants in Yemen slipped with Iran imposed a blockade on Saudi Arabia bound

chipping in the Red Sea shopping, further chasing oil and gas exports.

The renewed fighting comes five months later the war, which has left global oil investment depleted, refineries and other infrastructure in the Middle East damaged and shut down shipping through the crucial Strait of襄樊.

Some of the gloomiest predictions about energy prices made in the war's early days did not come to pass—the price never broke. By a gallon, and benchmark cost of Brent crude didn't reach $200. Oil industry optimists point to woo the market has adopted, with companies and countries pivoting to alternative fuels, changing trade routes, curbing demand and diversifying their suppliers.

Those now warning of major price increases ahead argue the market has reached a point where fundamental supply problems can no longer be ignored. If fighting continues over the next several weeks, the widespread and uncrucied challenge created by the war could trigger an even more painful reckoning, anorexia said.

"The key buffers that got us through the first months of the supply shock have been worn away," said Ben Cahill, an energy scholar at the University of Texas at Austin. "It will be harder to avoid a price correction and a steep price reaction when new disruptions are beginning each day. They are already having a single 'supply' to achieve psychology now."

The timing of the war's onslaught, the February helped blunt its initial impact on energy prices. Global inventories with healthy and it came during a

season when demand for transportation fuel is typically low.

When Iran, and later the U.S., closed the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil and gas is shipped, China took pressure off the global market by leaving on its vast reserves and alternative energy supplies to cut its imports by millions of barrels each day. The U.S. and other countries released hundreds of millions of barrels of crude from their reserves.

These prices are now largely depleted and need to be refilled. China's appetite for oil from global markets is rising again

and the summer driving season is underway in the U.S. and Europe, pushing demand up.

In addition to the intensifying conflict in the Middle East, Ukrainian drone attacks have disabled refineries in Russia that are key to the world's supply of diesel fuel.

Street prices have spiked around the world and on Thursday reached $5.20 on average in the U.S., according to AAA. The same day, December on the contrary, the total European countries released a report that closed farmers spent $4.4 billion more on diesel fuel during this

year's planting season than they did in 2023.

Steve Bliss, an energy scholar at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business, said that since the war began oil markets here appeared to assume that political pressure would force an end to the conflict relatively quickly.

"Everyone else's been making this lot—that Trump would check on out when things got bad, pull out and the war would end," he said. "But that hasn't happened. It is not clear when this will end."

The surge in oil prices this

week, analysts said, reflected leaders coming to terms with the reality that things are working out differently. Every day the conflict rechters, the challenge of bringing the market back into tobacco grows.

The research firm Capital Economics wrote a note to clients Wednesday that used prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz linked pushing oil markets out of a "ripping point over the coming months," with prices surging the percent or more higher.

It was titled: "China can't hold out the global oil market forever."

Every major index has ground overall for the week amid increasing pressure from a sharp escalation in the U.S. war with Iran. Investors are also contending with more tariffs and worries about the economy suffering under the weight of stubborn inflation.

The ISEP 500 barely hedged in a day of unseventful trading. It rose 3.09 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to $40.00. The index notified its second consecutive losing week, which hasn't happened since March.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average for $10.00 points, or 0.3 percent, to $5.94/2.35.

East throughout the week again threatened to slow the global flow of oil and gas. It has been an ongoing concern for Wall Street, and now many of the buffers in the energy market from earlier in the year, including strategic reserves in the U.S., have been weakened.

"If escalation continues and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the impact will land on an energy market with far less resilience stocks are now rising," wrote Theodore Brunet, head of geopolitical advisory at Lazard Asset Management, in a report. Brent crude, the international

at standard, fell 3.9 percent to $99.79. It has generally been rising all week and several back above $100 on Thursday before continued oil. Before the rise was begun in late February it was trading around $72 per barrel.

Bond yields also eased and relieved some of the pressure

on stocks. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.89 percent from 4.73 percent late Thursday.

Markets in Europe gained ground, while Asian markets closed lower.

The U.S. is also stepping up its global trade war with a fresh result of tariffs on market relations. The new round of tariffs impacts nearly all U.S. imports and they are paid by companies importing these goods, who then typically pass the added costs along to consumers. That move came just as the stock was running out Friday on engage join the president ingaining after a chipping deficit in other markets like Supreme Court.

Rising energy prices and fresh tariffs could result in better inflation, which has been squaring customers and looming over the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy.

The Fed meets later this month and has been closely monitoring prices and their impact. Rising inflation slashed hopes earlier this year for an interest rate cut. Wall Street has since had a more toward a potential rate increase, which the central bank can use to help cost inflation.

Wall Street is anticipating at least one rate hike by the end of the year, with a record 20 percent chance that could happen at the upcoming meeting next week, according to CME Huffman.

Higher energy costs threaten to take a bigger chunk out of household budget, which means a shift in spending toward more basic needs, like gasoline. Nationally, a gallon of gasoline costs 64.5 per gallon, according to AAA. That's still lower than that spring as the conflict in Asia expanded, but it's almost a dollar higher than last year at this time.

Investors are worried about the impact in companies profits. These profits and expectations are more growth are what typically justifies a stock's value. The latest round of corporate earnings showed that companies are still marketing growth, but concerns are growing.

TARIFTS

Tariffs' criticised by trade partners

U.S. President Donald Trump's latest set of tariffs drive immediate objectives from American Trading partners in Washington, D.C. and Japan, with Australia's trade minister slamming them as "completely unjustified" on Friday.

The administration announced tariffs of 10 percent to 12.5 percent on 80涨跌幅. The Thursday, saying the countries had failed to adequately enforce a ban on goods made with forced labor.

The new tariffs took effect just as stopped. Write Trump imposed after a chipping threat at the

Supreme Court expired at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

Australian Trade Minister Don Harrell rejected claims linking Australia, a major reporter of beef, pork and copper, to modern slavery and raising the tariff on its exports to the U.S. to 12.5 percent. The government level imposed after Trump's "Liberation Day" hikes last year.

Japan likewise promoted the 12.5 percent tariff imposed on its exports, noting Tokyo had been reasserted by the Trump administration that there would be no more tariffs on top of an earlier agreement on a 10 percent U.S. import rate.

South Korea's trade minister said the announcement eased some uncertainty over U.S. trade policy, but noted that a Serious

301 investigation into alleged Korean means production continues. The combined duties on South Korean exports should not exceed 15 percent, the ministry said in a statement.

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it "reposes all forms of unilateral tariffs" to respond to the new 12.5 percent tariffs.

Tech firms make case against AI regulation

Nvidia, Microsoft and other tech heavyweights made a public case to lawmakers on Friday in favor of open-source AI models, wading into a debate rolling the business and policy worlds over

who controls the powerful technology.

In a letter posted on X and also signed by two dozen companies and groups including Meta Platforms and IBM, Nvidia CEO James Huang said that lawmakers should avoid "premature restrictions on open models that stifle competition or drive innovation overseas." The letter adds to the growing debate about open-source models that are harder to regulate, such as Nvidia's own and those released in recent weeks by Chinese lads.

In recent months, Silicon Valley business leaders have bristled at the cost of closed source models.

The CEOs of Microsoft and defense contractor Palustri Technologies have publicly argued

that open-source models their customers can run inside their own data centers will help control AI costs.

Tech leaders have also chafed at controls that OpenAI and Anthropo build into their models.

Hugging flow, the AI coding collaboration that took was backed by a major OpenAI model, this week said that it had to use a Chinese open-source model to defend against the attack.

The letter from Nvidia said other companies acknowledged the concerns about technology itself but argued they should be addressed "through targeted legal and commercial frameworks rather than sweeping restrictions."

Mali's government does not rule out U.S. military intervention

Country's foreign ministers says any partner 'must respect' sovereignty

BY RACHEL CHAMON AND JOHN HENSON

INKAR, MENSAL — Mali's government on Thursday acknowledged a report indicating that the Trump administration is weighing military action against Islamist militants in the West African country, saying any nation that works with Mali 'must respect' its sovereignty.

The statement by Mali's foreign minister, Abolisham Diop, followed publication of a Washington Post report revealing that the administration is contemplating whether to attack an al-Qaeda-affiliated group known as JNIM. If approved, Mali would become the eighth nation where President Donald Trump has ordered military strikes since the start of his second term.

Speaking to local press following a military conference in Bamako, Mali's capital, Diop did not rule out the possibility of military cooperation with the United States, but said that, to date, government officials had only seen news reports and had received 'no confirmation and no official statement from the United States.' Mali's government, he said, is waiting to see 'what makes the U.S. government will take.'

'I can assure you that Mali is not sitting and waiting for others to come and solve our problems,' Diop said, to applause from the audience, adding later that 'Mali counts on itself — on its ingenuity, its resources, its defense and security forces, and its own capabilities — to solve its problems.'

Diop also said there are 'three principles, which are absolutely very clear, when it comes to working with Mali: we must respect Mali's sovereignty; we

must respect Mali's sovereign decisions and we must take into account the interests of the people.'

When the White House was asked for comment, a senior U.S. official declined to say if the U.S. was considering military options but said Washington continues to 'reach out to the government of Mali to assess their needs and offer our assistance where appropriate.' The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

Mali's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for further clarification. Since 2020, Mali has been run by military officers who ended the democratically elected president in a coup. The military just cut security ties with France, Mali's ex-citizens, and turned to Russia for help combating the al-Qaeda and Islamic State affiliation responsible for deadly violence in the region, as has been the case in neighboring Burkina Faso and Niger.

But despite Rachid's often brutal intervention — first by Wagner mercenaries and now Africa Corps personnel more closely tied to the Russian state — the Islamist militants have only grown more powerful.

In his appeal for the respect of Mali's sovereignty, Diop said Thursday: 'The very least one could expect from a partner in its come and ask Malian authorities what they really need.'

The Post's reporting showed there is disagreement among American officials about attacking the military group, whose full name is Jamal el-Bintar al-Islam was Mhaddad.

When the White House was asked for comment for that report, an administration official would not disclose whether Trump intended to move forward with military strikes but said the U.S. has been urging governments in North and West Africa 'to purchase U.S. equipment and services to support their war efforts against the terrorists.'

Abolisham Diop, Mali's foreign minister, speaks alongside Gen. Osmar Diarra in the capital of Bamako on Thursday.

In Bamako, where local newspapers picked up The Post's reporting said Diop's response, some residents said they were so fed up with the violence that they welcomed U.S. intervention.

JNIM successfully pandered much of the country with a fuel blockade late last year, and in April launched nationwide attacks, including a suicide bombing that killed the country's defense minister.

Baba Ciot, a 20-year-old obstetrician, said that the Americans coming to help 'would be a good thing.'

'Today, we just want peace because the Russians who are currently in Mali have completely failed,' he said, adding that he hoped the Americans could 'do better than others.'

'Because we are suffering too much in this country,' he said. Ibrahim Olawara, a 22-year-old student, said he also supported American intervention because 'the terrorists have

been preventing us from living our lives for years now.'

But some were more skeptical. Alice Dela, a teacher, worried that if the Americans do intervene, they will start a war they are not prepared to finish.

'We have experienced several military interventions that have not brought good solutions,' he said. 'For me, today we need dialogue to bring peace.'

Mouna Ag Amachmanane, a member of Mali's transitional government, said in a statement

to The Post that terrorism in the Sahel, the vast semiarid region south of the Sahara, 'must concern the entire international community.'

Every country — including the U.S. and Russia — have a 'crucial role to play,' he said, adding that each country must ultimately 'assume its responsibility as the primary guarantee of security within its territory.'

Mohamed Ag Hamzadeh in Bamako, Mali, contributed to this report.

A junk bill to fight junk food

The Senate moves to police cartoon characters in food advertising.

DICK OCE, Ronald McDonald and Yvonne Ross, Sen. Bernie S. McDonald, is a leading for you, and he has a bipartisan coalition behind him.

This week, the New York Times, who has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has been a member of the United States, has

Microorganizing advertising campaigns in a division government overreach. Such many-state intervention

substitutes the judgment of parties for politicians. It also won't curtail a child's taste for sugar.

Adding warning labels to food products is a less silly idea, but it nevertheless runs into a big problem. There is no standard definition of ultra-processed foods, and running up with one has proved extremely difficult. In a February interview, Health Secretary Robert T. Kennedy Jr. promised to come up with one by April. It has yet to materialize.

No one disputes that ultra-processed products are unhealthy choices. The problem is that defining what falls in that category requires identifying specific ingredients that are involved in industrial advertising. Studying the consequences of tiny amounts of additives to other chemicals is notoriously difficult.

Even if scientists manage to find consensus on the harms of our ingredient, the food industry can replace components with other chemicals. Expect them to continue playing these

whack-a-male games to avoid adding any warning label to their packaging.

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration already requires manufacturers to provide information about the ingredients contained in their products. Public health advocates argue that condensing that information into a single front-of-packing warning label would help consumers, but doing so risks oversimplifying the women's nutritional stories.

Reducing the number of kids with diabetes and obesity is a great goal. At the same time, people typically already know which foods are not good for them. Who needs a warning from U.S. politicians, for example, that much-in-law-based cereal is not the healthiest breakfast options?

Certainly, the country would be better off if Americans consumed more unprocessed foods. But public health advocates are kidding themselves if they think more regulations — and fewer certain characters — will make that happen.

Trump's cynical pretext for raising taxes

If the president cared about tackling forced labor in supply chains, the tariffs he imposed Friday would look very different.

IF PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP were sincere that the tariffs he imposed on Friday are aimed at reducing taxes on the list of forced labor, Japan and New Zealand would not be subject to the same new import taxes as China. Nor would there be a carve out for oil and gas imports.

These new imports have not immediately performed. It's no coincidence that they were timed to go into effect at 12:30 a.m. on Friday. That's the day another legal authority Trump has been using to impose its pretext tariffs rights agents.

The Trade Representative announcement applies tariffs ranging from 10 percent to 12.5 percent on 60 countries, covering 89 percent of imports.

The new bill will not under Section 304 of the Trade Act of 1976, which is meant

President Donald Trump on Friday in the Oval Office.

to tackle discriminatory trade practices abroad and crack down on countries that turn a blind eye to forced labor in their supply chains.

Forced labor is barbaric, and efforts to combat it are noble. But that's not what's going on here. Put aside the president's rhetoric, and these are taxes that are professionally paid by American businesses and get passed along to their

customers.

The president's business on raising taxes so close to the mildest electronic revenue forbidding, but his decision to use executive power is untruthful. Trump does not have the votes to go but tariffs approved by Congress, despite Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to use this disingenuous rationale.

Trump relaxes on Hong Kong. Why, now?

If this is an else brunch to China, Trump deserves something in return.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION has partially eased sanctions on Hong Kong that were imposed six years ago during the city's harsh crackdown on personal freedoms and distrust. It's an odd time to reward the city, just days after its police raided two independent bookstores and arrested five booksellers for selling supposedly "seditious" publications.

The State and Treasury Departments said last week that the United States is letting lapse the national emergency that Trump declared in 2010 over China's discussion security law, which defied months of anti-government elections on the restive island. The move lifts U.S. sanctions against nine individuals — mostly Chinese and Hong Kong police and security officials — deemed responsible for enforcing the crackdown.

The move didn't go so far as Chinese officials hoped. The announcement said some key restrictions will remain in place, including the measure that involved Hong Kong's autonomous states. That means Hong Kong will continue to be treated the same as mainland China in terms of tariffs and export controls. Hong Kong enjoyed preferential treatment before China curtailed its autonomy.

U.S. officials say the latest move is technical housekeeping. The removal of nine people from the sanctions list, they say, will be a step worth taking. But the U.S. will not be able to do so. The following the chief executive and former top security official John Lee, Treasury

officials and some of the sanctions were duplicative.

Nevertheless, China is treating the move as a major olive branch, halting the U.S. for adjusting its Hong Kong policy "to a more positive direction."

Trump visited Beijing in May for a moment with Chinese President Xi Jinping to ease trade tensions. Trump has invited Xi to Washington in September.

One olive branch China could extend in return for relaxed sanctions is the release of former Hong Kong newspaper publisher Jimmy Lai. He was not justly sentenced to 10 years in prison in February after a sham trial on longu

cheaper of editions and colluding with "foreign forces." In Communist parlance, that means the U.S.

Earlier this month, China refused prominent underground church pastor Eira Jin after lobbying from Trump. But shows Xi is capable of progression, if not compassion.

If the raising of Hong Kong sanctions is part of a behind-the-scenes diplomatic effort to win 10-for-1st unanimous from China, it may well be a step worth taking. But the U.S. million people who live in Hong Kong once knew freedom and hunger for its return. The U.S. need not accept their fate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

"YOU MEAN I'M SUPPOSED TO STAND ON THAT?"

A Herblock cartoons from 1930s.

The greatest editorial cartoonist? Herblock.

David Van Dedde's July 21 Tuesday Opinion commentator: "The greatest editorial cartoonist? The case for Pat Oliphant," called Pat Oliphant the greatest cartoonist of all time.

I was the publisher of Pat Post during the last year of Herblock's amazing work there. For many of these years, Oliphant worked at the Washington Post. I was pleased that the Pat Post that has an excellent cartoonist. Pat Post, I knew, had the greatest ever, a fellow whose work would be related at 10 years from now. If anyone had suggested we trade with the Pat, everyone at Pat Post would have laughed.

Van Dedde's general Oliphant's willingness to criticize the targets backily. I grew up reading Herblock when called he and a handful of writers took aim at Sen. Joseph McCarthy, a voicese, dangerous target who was willing to hit back at 1929 and at the paper that pointed into. Herb was a pinke to McCarthy, and the Wisconsin Republican charged that his cartoons were aimed at secret communists within the government. (Some re-mean secret to Sen. Rep.) Herb's cartoonist Joe President Richard M. Nixon to cancel his subscription to Pat Post — more than once! And Herb did not let up.

One after day, brilliant drawing after brilliant drawing, Herblock left his contemporaries for behind. We who read Pat Post were lucky to know him.

The opportunity cost of military service

I am an Army ROTC under studying economics at Stanford, and every day I witness the tension between elite universities and the military described at Robert Shabts July 19 letter to the editor, "Why America's best minds should never," and Monty Mozingo's July 31 novel, "Why I went to Harvard — and joined the novel." I grew up with a father who served 30 years in the Air Force service defined my childhood. I knew it was my turn to put on the uniform. Then I arrived at Stanford.

Amid 1 a.m. wake-ups and night-mile racks, Stanford exposed me to something rare inside harden-wire moons chases. Ventures capital, everything and finance are entire sectors I hadn't heard of, much less considered careers in, after watching friends land six890s out of a starting office, more than my father named toward the end of his career, I started to rethink things.

Elite universities make the opportunity cost of service impossible to ignore. In some, it is simply uninformative to waste a Stanford degree on joining an institution whose a two-pronging degree is equally qualifying.

Stanford doesn't make it easy, either, despite some efforts to make accommodation. ROTC students engage through cross-conditioned agreements with nearby schools, as I converse about 40 minutes to Santa Clara University.

Serving at elite universities means trading the grandeur of high-paying jobs and growing for something harder to explain. It's an opportunity cost most students aren't willing to make.

Meningos worked on a private where thinking and fighting are two separate failings, and at Stanford, I feel that gap within every day. Students went to serve military leaders must break down the private into more than when the institution forces a choice.

With great wealth comes great responsibility

Regarding Marian Tracy's July 16 decision commentary, "Socialists think wealth is stolen, Tracy is wrong."

Creating wealth or pursuing a more just society is a false choice. I am a Catholic priest who spent many years raising taxes for charitable organizations, and I discovered that most good people understand that wealth carries responsibility. It is not our charity — or any paying their fair share of taxes — as punishment for success, and as a moral obligation to use their resources for the common good.

The question is the whether billion-aims stole or earned their wealth. It is how these who have wealth use their resources to strengthen society and create opportunities for them will defend.

Jesus spoke often about wealth — not to condemn success, but to remind his followers that privilege brings responsibility. "From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required" (Luke 12:40). He also warned that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 20:24). And again, in Luke's Gospel, he declared, "How to you who are rich, for you have received your association" (Luke 6:24). These words are a reminder to use wealth and resources in the service of justice, human dignity and the common good.

Under his proposal, the medications would be subject to following the 2000 guidelines, and Medicare and Medicaid would adopt new reimbursement rules to encourage treating their use.

The problem here isn't that Kennedy wants to reconsider the widespread use of these drugs. It now isn't going about it. The plan appears to start with a conclusion, and the government is now assembling evidence to support it. That's no way to change plans on drugs that millions of Americans rely on.

In 2018, I argued that the benefits of antidepressants, known as selective antinocicepsins (milded) in 2002, were overstated. Research showed that the effect were mostly modest, and the 1950s was known about their use over the long term or for mild depression. Not much has been published in the internet to make me critical those concerns. The evidence, both for and against the drugs, remains a must.

A decade earlier, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study examining all the FDA-registered trials of antidepressants from 2007 through 2004, covering 72 different drugs. The trials of 74 different drugs, 1.4 which, 60% were deemed to have a clinical effect. Of them, 27 were published in the medical literature.

Of the 30 that didn't show such an effect, 22 were never published, an additional 11 were with him in a way that made these social problems. Only three were published in a way that made it clear the trial was a failure.

When I give talks on publication bias, this is the example I point in. Any results of the peer-reviewed review would conclude that different trials, which would be difficult to identify, however, only half of all the trials conducted were successful.

Eight years ago, recognizing that limitations, researchers published a new study with more no-phenomenal feedback from the 2000s, the trial of 34 different antidepressants. The good news was that every single one was found to "work" in the sense that it is unperformed a placebo. But even then, the authors cited the certainty of the evidence to "work" in the 2000s.

Further, the trials mostly focused on short-term treatment of moderate to severe depression. Just, however, a so-called "good" problem is that it would not reveal the best results. The 2000s were a very well known and well beyond the data of the 2000s.

That doesn't mean, however, that any policy to make it clear. That's because doing so could result in depression going untreated. In the 2000s, the 2000s were a very well known and well beyond the data of the 2000s.

The 2000s were a very well known and well beyond the data of the 2000s.

A tablet of Leagery, an antidepressant

What I'd prescribe in this case is doing the research before a policy change rather than after.

thoughts or behaviors, compared with about 2 percent of children receiving a placebo. Even though we child died by suicide in any trial, this prompted the FDA to put a third box warning on antidepressants for children and adolescents, later extended to many adults up to 25 years old.

What happened next is being contested. In 2018, a review published in Health Affairs linked these warnings to a reduction in depression diagnoses, treatment and even psychotherapy. In some analyses, they were linked to a rise in suicide deaths. These studies had methodological weaknesses (a) I said, the evidence is a trend. But the bottom line is that federal action on these drugs 20 years ago may have learned more children than it helped. We still don't know for sure.

Kennedy's concerns are defensible. Prescriptions for antidepressants have climbed for decades, and some patients could probably taper off from safety. But he is seeking to change federal policy as if he had all the answers, not a bunch of questions.

If the department announced plans to fund research on these questions, I would applaud it. Agencies already exist that can make that happen. The Pepsi-Centred Outcomes Research Institute, for instance, funds research on questions that

matter to patients, and the agency for healthcare Research and quality measures relating research and body devices can be used.

These institutions are perfectly positioned to support studies nobody has run, such as long-term randomized discontinuation trials that could show who can stop using EHRs safely and who might be at risk or stopping. EHRs can also focus research on mild depression, where prescribing is common but the evidence is thin. Finally, it could fund researchers to synthesize the evidence and study how to safely deprecise patients.

Now with these drugs work is an empirical question - whether relying on use is shameful is not. Depression also is an unfortunate bucket of conditions that society quietly monitors. People with the condition are suspected of just not "trying hard enough." Would the "dependency" and "over-medications" imply that leaning on a drug is a failure of will.

I started an EHR years ago after a bad panic attack, and it has helped me. That's an anecdote with the 2000s, a counterfactual. It proves starting about the drug. But neither do the only proposition linking inside Kennedy's policy proposals.

The FDA still thinks EHRs safe and are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

I revolution is unfolding. Voters everywhere are furious.

This week, Britain installed two month prime minister in barely a decade. France has thwarted forward, almost as many in just a few years. He was president may well be the vice-contract Marine Le Pen. In Germany, the far eight 100, they just a few years ago, now yells in first place. Even East Asian democrats - often, they are a little, unethical, over-going - have seen governments in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan struggle to be made of growing public anger. And where population are in power, the situation doesn't seem that different. Donald Trump now known near the lowest age of the nation's 40-year-old Americans president at this point in their terms.

Can today's democratic function?

Assume the democratic world, many countries has, known and speed republishing accounts. Surely, the 2000s are not a good solution. And the 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

Why has this happened? Some of it is economic, trade and industry, or support because and reducing inequality have fueled public anger. But economics is only part of the story. America has enjoyed stronger growth than most other advanced economies. France under President Emmanuel Macron has favored unemployment, and it has attracted more foreign investment projects than any country to Europe for seven straight years, according to an EHR 8. Young students. South Korea is an economic success story. Japan was experiencing a comeback, for America's governments almost everywhere are unpopular.

The larger explanation is that we are living through one of history's great technological revolutions. And these transformations always produce deep anxiety and fear.

The last technological transformation on this scale came between roughly 2000 and 3000. Electricity, the telephone, railroads, the automobile and movies contracted either industries and ways of life. Although the 2000s are not a good solution, the 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

One new revolution is digital rather than electrical, beginning with computers, then the internet, then smartphones and social media, and more of the world's 2000s. The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

Democratic governments almost everywhere are unpopular. The larger explanation is that we are living through one of history's great technological revolutions.

the lag in the development of political institutions behind social and economic change. Large-scale change causes anxiety. And success societies and most of politics. Citizens want leaders to reduce order, provide security and help them regain a sense of control over forces that seem increasingly beyond primary group.

The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

We welcome a car in three minutes. A package arrives the same day. At answers complicated questions in seconds, and does more complex work that took people months in three minutes. Naturally, citizens begin to expect similar efficiency from government. But democracy is not designed for speed. It is designed for legitimate: It happens, congressmen, consults courts, protects vulnerable groups and balance-operating interests. Those safeguards are precisely what distinguish democracy from authoritarianism. Yet in an age shaped by technology's wary speed, they increasingly look like paralysis.

Social media widens this gap. Every government mistake becomes brutality visible. Every day appointment becomes a vital controversy. Every frustrated citizen can mobilize thousands of others before governments have even begun to respond.

This helps explain the strange trajectory of modern countries. Politicians try to do so. From 2000 to 2004, the 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

People don't seem to have lost total confidence in democracy. They have not turned their backs on elections, constitutional and independent courts. But they are deeply unhappy with democratic performance. Democrats must once again prove that they can build housing and infrastructure, modern public services, making technological change, reduce inequality - and do so with urgency and effectiveness.

History offers some grounds for optimism. Prescription often look weakest in the midst of great technological upheaval because they move slowly and argue constantly. Yet over time they have usually adopted better than enterprising, precisely because they can leave, correct mistakes and change course without violence or repression.

Democratic leaders should not try to confuse technology, they can't. But they should prove, through relentless focus and competence, that the more can be driven. Then people will understand that the friction of accountability and the weight of legitimacy are not huge in the system. They are the business that keep us free.

The World Cup restored my faith in America

Whatever your thoughts about the problem of the United States, it's pretty clear that every man who ignored the 2000s is the World Cup, something had happened. Whether it was the FIFA Peace Prize that kicked the whole thing off, or the shameful war the human team was treated, or the whole Fidaria Be-vega would go back. And, up to the 2000s, the 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

And it didn't make one life of difference. The tournament brushed Trump off the list from its shoulder. This was the most successful World Cup in just about every way - financially, ethnically, competitively, perhaps most of all sociologicals - and so on. The 2000s are not a good solution. The 2000s are not a good solution.

Giraffes in Uganda get new home to escape oil drilling

Other wild animals will join them in a 64-square-mile reserve

By PATRICK OWEN Associated Press

MUKCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK, UGANDA - On a cold morning in Uganda's largest national park, rangers chat and sing in left here spirits ahead of the start of a daunting wildlife project considered critical to conservation: moving the Nubian giraffe to a new home.

Rangers at Murchison Falls National Park on Tuesday began to translocate 12 endangered Nubian giraffes, fearful natural land mammal, 65 miles to Ajai Wildlife Reserve. The project, expected in last a couple of days, is intended to preserve the species' population, enhance biodiversity and diversify tourism opportunities.

An estimated 40 percent of Uganda's oil deposits are in the Murchison Falls area and within the park. In recent months, there have been increased oil drilling activities including heavy machinery movement through the national park despite years of opposition from environmentalists.

Uganda is pushing to produce its first oil from the area. In June 2024, Smallpoxies officially began drilling for oil in the Tlinga project area within the park.

Patrick Atwood, the Uganda Wildlife Authority assistant commander for veterinary services, who led Tuesday's giraffe translocation, said establishing new animal populations in other protected areas will reduce pressures on the current habitat. It have a significant damage from drilling.

Uganda wants to expand the range of the critically endangered giraffes because of oil and gas activities, tourism development, climate change, bush encroachment and invasive species, he said.

"This is shrinking the habitat of wildlife here, but especially giraffes," Atwood said of the animals that can grow up to 26 feet tall and weigh up to 4,000 pounds.

"So having a seed population somewhere about 100 kilometers (62 miles) away from here within the same conservation area, the same zone, is the right conservation facilities in make," he said.

New giraffe home is a rejuvenated wildlife reserve

After a final briefing from Atwood, the exercise kicked off as officials directed these giraffes into waiting trucks, where two branches were mounted for the giraffe to chew during the journey.

At Ajai Wildlife Reserve, a dozen rangers awaited their arrival. The animals could not wait to get off the trucks and into their new 64-square-mile home. The reserve once had a diverse wildlife population but was wiped out in the early 1990s because of rampant poaching and prolonged insecurity in the country.

The introduction of the Nubian giraffes to the reserve is part of an ongoing ecological restoration effort. In addition to the giraffes, other wild animals such as southern white rhinos, buffalo, zebras and hundreds of Uganda kids are being reintroduced.

"The animals are now doing very well and are multiplying. Many are now pregnant. They are spreading all over the reserve, both inside the electric fence and outside the electric fence," said Wilson Kalamipwa, the Ajai Wildlife Reserve senior waitress in charge.

Wildlife authorities are optimistic that Ajai, established in 1937, will serve as a new home for their work to increase Uganda's wild animal population despite pressures from human activity and nature that threaten their conservation.

Part of the reserve is being fenced and the number of rangers has increased to protect the animals from poachers. Area communities, which receive a share of the tourism economy, have been educated about the importance of conservation.

"They are ready to conserve with us, and we are having a good working relationship with the district leadership," Kala-

Rangers and veterinarians restrain a sedated Nubian giraffe during translocation Wednesday from Murchison Falls National Park to Ajai Wildlife Reserve, 65 miles away.

Three Nubian giraffes are released into Ajai reserve on Tuesday. An estimated 40 percent of Uganda's oil deposits are in the Murchison Falls area, their former home.

mipwa said.

When the giraffe translocation is complete, members of the communities will be invited to the reserve to see the animals, which have been extinct in the area for decades, he said.

"The big dream is that we want to see the economy of this place growing bigger and bigger and for the final North-Eastern 2030 included in the money economy using tourism," Kalamipwa said.

As the giraffes walked off the trucks, Moses Ayati could not hide his excitement about having the animals near his home and the benefits they will bring to the environment.

"The community is aware, the vigilance is high, and I am sure they are going to take care of the animals because they belong to the local community, too," Ayati said.

A sedated giraffe is restrained ahead of transport. Wildlife authorities are optimistic that Ajai, established in 1937, will serve as a new home for their work to increase Uganda's wild animal population despite pressures from human activity and nature.

"The animals are now doing very well and are multiplying. Many are now pregnant. They are spreading all over the reserve, both inside the electric fence and outside the electric fence."

TV REVIEW

Spin-off of 'Big Bang Theory' has an appeal that's universal

BY ROBERT LLOYD

Los Angeles Times

Next to the return of the dawn to the backyard, nothing has made me happier recently than tumbling through the 20 episodes of the first season of "Stuart Falls to Save the Universe," the third spin-off from "The Big Bang Theory."

Persuading this week on HBO Max—the first straying of the franchise from CBS, and taking advantage of the expensive opportunities premium cable affords—violence and language mostly—which does not make it any with less adorable. (Nobody gets naked, which would make it less adorable.)

Like "Leo Grant" extracting a newspaper drama from the remains of "The Star's Tyler House Show" or the earlier "Big Bang" prequel "Young Sheldon," "Stuart" takes its players—secondary characters in the original—and places them somewhere quite different: a single-sceners, parallel-coalition science-fiction adventure comedy. Intergenerally akin to Kevin Feigle's obfited Marvel confections for Disney's, or the entuferous DC-based "Dream Patrol" (also on HBO Max, for what it's worth), it was created and written by Chuck Lorre with "Big Bang" co-creator Bill Prady, along with Zak Penn, whose screenwriting credits involve mostly superheroes and sci-fi, appropriately enough.

K-pop singer Rei Ami faces a new demon for 'Shark Week'

BY MARK KENNEDY

Associated Press

Rei Ami, whose voice helped fuel the hit movie "KPop Demon Hunters," recently found herself facing plenty of real hunters—watching from the ocean floor in about 10 reef sharks went on a feeding frenzy.

She was scared, sure. But more than that, she was brought to tears.

"I thought I'd be a bit more patrolled, but I was enamored, I was in awe. It was witnessing nature," she says. "You can't put it into words the emotions and the feelings that you experience."

Viewers can watch Rei Ami—and hear her sing a new K-pop song inspired by her experience with sharks while off the Korean Peninsula—as Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" kicks off Sunday.

Twenty new, fussy-long shows leap deep into the world of the ancient predators, from a record-setting dive attempt into shark-infested waters to trying to find out what triggers giant bull sharks to confront humans.

"Growing up, I always watched 'Shark Week,'" says Rei Ami. "You see those epic commercials, with the great white jumping out and eating the chum and the tuna. That's ingrained in my brain forever."

Actor-cosmellin Ken Jeong joins her to start the work off with the show "K-Pop Shark Heroes" on Sunday. But while she went on two cage dives and two free dives with hammerheads and reef sharks and

72 HOURS ★★☆☆

Bachelor party comedy plays into Hart's strengths

BY JACK COYLE

As a movie about getting older and still having to cater to younger demographics, the Kevin Hart comedy "72 Hours" has a series strategy to it.

Hart plays a successful New York ad executive named Joe whose campaign ideas have turned dated. His bosses on budget think he has been content with Gen Z. In manquent himself with youth culture, Joe joins a bachelor party in Miami despite the most tenuous of connections. He was accidentally copied into a group text thread with four 20-cometlings.

"72 Hours," streaming, Friday on Netflix, is — as much as a showdown commercial — a highly engineered product. There isn't a series in 31 that won't remind you of some other comedy particular. If "The Hangover Kit," 72 Hours, directed by Tim Berry ("Ride Along," "Bacheloring") and produced by Will Parker, at least knows this. The movie is itself a joke about Hart, now 42 trying to relate to a younger, more politically content generation.

That makes "72 Hours" a better match of material for Hart than some of his (many) other Netflix films. Most of the comic energy of the movie comes from Hart interacting with his younger cousins, all but one of whom are "Saturday Night Live" cast members. Marcelle Hernández, Ben

Kevin Hart, left, and Tryana Taylor in "72 Hours," which becomes liberally from other comedies but is nonetheless entertaining.

Marshall and Sam Peterson. The fourth in Miami (Miami Goodnight), the one getting married.

John Koels is shown with appetites around him, like Dwayne Johnson or Conan O'Brien — a spiritual father to the geeky, red-haired Marshall. And the combination of Hart plus the front-faced "SNL" new guard is a winning one. Hart has always had the good sense, despite his nature in comedy, to make himself the best of jokes. And "72 Hours" is a lot of the bachelor party guys making fun of the old man who's suddenly paying their way-through Miami.

"72 Hours," with four credited writers, is ridiculously pretend. As

if the basic premise wasn't enough, the movie teases in a joke with a loud drug dealer (the "World's Michael Mania", or "Never Call Hard") who thinks Joe is a rival. Whenever Joe smills some cocaine, he turns into a Cuban drug lord persona named Ronnie Montana — basically an impersonation of Al Pacino in "Scarface."

If that sounds like a potentially dubious parody to you, "72 Hours" will not all about that. Joe's trouble in New York circus partly from a flama ad he wrote that plays with a prosonic pun. In one scene, Joe misses an actual young type and is quickly mocked for it.

The movie is a just-dry enough commentary on Hart's own, and its tastes shabbing with more contemporary sensibilities.

That knowingly one doesn't necessarily say "72 Hours" from the kind of 100-non-smoker. Ingo Jinks of broad comedies won't expect a yacht party, a selfish list, a run-by with whole genitalia. But the "SNL" guys acquit themselves well. Bernadette has a brief appearance in "Happy Gilmore 22" but this is his first leading role in a movie. For the charismatic "SNL" broadcast, it's a one-man broadcast, broadcast is even better, playing a weary man just out of a breakup who threatens to turn the weekend into "Get Play Love."

But the greatest act of "72 Hours" is its other name of Tryana Taylor. She plays Jack girlfriend in New York, and she spends much of the money for away, waiting for her experience to make their relationship. In any circumstance, this would be a year one of Taylor's primary, but it's especially immensely coming on the heels of "One Battle After Another." The 8-stand line comes as one a single of the summer, but all but disappeared from Houston. Through it's shown on Netflix in "72 Hours," some things never change.

'Stuart Fails' succeeds with its comical cast

TY KRYSTEV FROM B1

ever-changing credits that "comedy turns written by emotionally healthy people" and, in dialogue, blessing a sitcom to "a meaningless walk."

Our protagonists here are come to drug owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Bowman), not the millennial he can seven; his able, practical girlfriend Sharon (Lauren Lapleau), sweet geologist Ken Kildner (Brian Proctor, organist) headpeas and troublesome plasma physicist Barry Krleper (John Ross Brown). They are not the first four actors, or characters, one might elect to carry a series, but they are the right man, and they do.

We open in a postapocalyptic Pasadena, following a hooked character through a dark headcover of its own "The Way of the World" that stands dirtraytoms to Stuart's somehow still-open comic book store. This turns out to be first, who, packing back the head, asks "this anything new!" to which Stuart responds "Hunny every time" as he tosses trash into a floating wormhole in the middle of the store. Normal customers Kyle (Jayne Carwanger) and Trevor (Josh Berner), who will recur through the series, argue over whether Bachelor deserves to be an average — there are some athletes not over the end of the world can silence.

After an interval, in which Bartให้อeshow caused fraud for a human cousin, the figure of what I'll call "Big Bang." Stuart appears with a message — that in the primary reality, "Big Bang" characters Sheldon, Leonard and Howard (who don't appear here) created a "not-stain quantum interference device" that malfunctioned and split reality into the television series. "It's a real thing," says the Postapocalyptic Stuart is charged with setting things right, but the instructions are garbled (a bad cross-sacrifice connection) and OK the same thing.

Nevertheless, Stuart and Bart set off to Caltech, with a Thomas Dox, guide — a little joke for the locale. Before the upstate is out, they'll have joined by Doxies, who has become a bandit (but is "still working on my screenplay") and Krleps, a terrible premise who will nevertheless have his own. He has appointed himself the Grand Caliph of South Pasadena, Flintridge and Monrovia and Supreme Ruler of the San Gabriel Valley, but he'll be brought down soon enough, to return gets his hands on the quantum interference device and we begin a trip

through successive realities on the way to who knows where. Jo odyssees go, it's very much my speed.

Why it should be Stuart which charged with seeing the universe is not explained, and meaningful only in that, contends speaking, business, the actor, and Stuart, who within ("I'm not a quantum disorder, I went to the Rhode Island School of Design") are right for the job, and that casting brings Lapleau, who is delightful as Doxies, into the mix, their relationship to the emotional over of the show. Anything Powles says is funny by this of the saying it. There is some minor speech commitment humor attached to Krleps, and some lucky sex jokes, but they come already attached to the character, so what are you doing for? And Doxies couldn't be any better being awful.

I don't want to say too much about what happens, because it wouldn't be as funny on paper as it is in motion. Some of the alternate realities we've seen before, though not necessarily so well trusted, and never are one no one of the same. I don't want to say too much about what we could be here all day enumerating, and the delivery, rather than the big concepts, that brings the show after. More important, we stand part of the fun is so discovering each new universe alongside the travelers, and in the transformation of familiar environments. (The Warner Bros. took no guts a weekend, if you don't find one alternate reality team, there'll be another one along even. This is not a problem I had. But here are two jokes from a place where magic is real. Krleps: "Stuart, the people here think science is evil." Stuart: "How is that different from our world?" And Doctor Strange, the comic character, is a colorectal surgeon.

Every once in a while a character will attempt to explain things, and that's whether you might have. And while I do not doubt that there are viewers who love the time, energy and brain to start the high of the series in a way that might surprise even its creators, the least complicated time-reality-travel story needs to make sense only in the moment. I'll best put those questions out of your mind and enjoy the changing memory and the funny compare.

Painting plan could damage the stone — and the law

CRITIC N NORTHERN FRIES B

her scaffolding in perpetuity. The case, brought by Cultural Heritage Partners and the D.C. Pennsylvania House, was filed on Nov. 16, 2010, a few days after President Trump revealed images of what the all-white building would look like to live. Some host Laura Ingraham during an Oval Office interview. Since then, this seemingly small item on Trump's renovation and construction list has taken on major importance.

Two problems are at same: potentially irreversible harm to the building, and Trump's attempt to effectively remove from historic and environmental review any project he wants to expedite by transferring it to the White House Office of Administration, a part of the executive branch beyond the reach of those reviews.

Ordinarily, the General Services Administration would have to follow the law and solicit input from experts and the public, and the primary interest have written a Trump House into this case. Quitting the GIA has ended those responsibilities and requirements to the White House, in which the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act do not apply.

'The precedent is potentially devastating,' says Greg Werkhaus, of Cultural Heritage Partners. 'Anytime the president takes a personal interest in a project he can simply pluck it out of an agency that is subject to review, and put it in his own shop.'

If the president wants to rush a new pipeline through printing wilderness? Just transfer the responsibility from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to the president's own people, and problem solved.

L})(2) about these nonsense, is White House official said the Office of Administration 'conducts all necessary the diligence and reviews for its projects, and that the arrangement with the GIA allows the office 'to more efficiently and economically manage the project, and the state of diversity that the EEOS is currently in.'

Architecture and design, in the age of Trump, are never just about the trade environment. This is about power, and the time-government both of experts like Kirby and the public, which is being systematically shut out of government action.

For a while, it seemed like this project was on the back burner, but on Monday the government filed a declaration by Heather Hanna, deputy assistant to the president, saying the Office of Administration would begin turn and evaluation of the building, in preparation for painting it. That's why Werkhaus says he is encouraging a request for an injunction to stop the project and force the government to adhere to its own rules and procedures.

Trump's architectural skills always have some measure of the element to them. The overwhelming gold ornament of the modernly sided Oval Office is a comin' absurdity. The edge there is not already work on the Reflecting Pool is an epic absurdity, because harms came quickly and the questions it raised about many times played out before the world.

The plan to cover the Eisenhower Executive Office building is a tough absurdity, because there is no good reason to do it

and paint-could permanently disfigure and damage the structure. Unlike the Reflecting Pool, the results won't come quickly to this case, or generate as much attention.

Trump and his enablers, including administration officials who are apparently attempting to manufacture some kind of expert opinion to oppose the legions of experts who say this is a terrific deal, will be long gone before the full cost of this project are revealed. Very likely, the massive stone structure will need periodic repairing, beyond over time, starting the sharp details of the building's capacity carried beside. One preservation expert, who spoke to the public, is a very interesting for fear of harassment, printed in multiple ways in which painting the stone could damage it. The stone would likely have to be used to cut off if that isn't done properly it can impact the surface of the granite.

After the stone is cleaned, saw paint that forms a film over the same time. The lures, would retain water, damaging the surface and paints. The long-term effects of mineral-based coatings, which keep into the stone, aren't well understood, and this treatment likely can't be removed.

'Preservationists are really concerned about reversibility,' she said. Reversibility is a guiding principle for most professional preservationists, who are skeptical of magical new solutions to age-old problems, who prefer the best intervention necessary to fit things, and for whom learning from the past is the best way to have a future. Kefler describes his approach to terms similar to a phrase often attributed to Hippocrates. First, do so harm.

'In my philosophy we consider ourselves to be building centers, and we use a lot of medical terminology,' he says. 'We talk

about diagnosing building problems, we talk about enacting some kind of therapy. We don't want to do something that will upset the balance of fragility. We are going to find something that is least attractive. We are very careful with our thoughts.'

The potential deeper tragedy of this episode is the legal precedent it could set, and the extremely extraneous of both expert and public opinion from decisions about the built environment.

The Eisenhower building has survived decades of wear and tear, and for most of the first century of its existence, with the criticism from politicians and critics. Demolition was a persistent threat during its early decades and particularly during the

1930s, when its style, interior dimension and building systems were considered outdated.

At one point, in 1957, a government commission suggested it be torn down, along with almost every historic structure in the block to the north, including the Roswith Gallery. Today, the architectural ensemble defined by the EEOS and its neighbors being masterly Square is one of the city's greatest historic treasures. After the close call with demolition in 1957, The Washington Post wrote, 'The structure's distinctive tightness is a reminder that standards of beauty can change almost as quickly as a politician who finds he is no longer in the majority.'

It was a canny connection of

aesthetics to politics, and an endorsement of what once it was considered an essential pillar of conservation. First, do so harm. Times change, people change, political parties change common sense and humility demand that change be thoughtful, deliberate, and commonsense with the scale of any problem addressed (by politicians, architects, and anyone who doctors to the world).

'This whole thing to me is centered on arrogance,' said the preservation expert. 'If the director of the Laners walked in and said, I don't like the background of the 'Stone Line,' he's paint it out. I too don't get to just wonder in and say, he's change this.'

At this point in his second term, Trump is creating some-

Preservationists say they've concerned about the irreversibility of the government's proposals for the benefit of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, above. At left, the facility was called the State, who said they Building in the 1930s.

thing even more dangerous than governance by which. Looking in this case, and in a major proposed rule change that would change how the National Historic Preservation Act is enforced, is an effort to erase the nation's physical culture, its man-made, natural and cultural wonders. 'Letting the public out of the review process isn't just about expediting the president's demands, his need for an arch or giant new ballroom. Rather, it's about eliminating the public enough, reducing an eggplant chimney to an aggregation of important and alienated individuals, for whom new buildings and monuments arrive without warning, and old ones disappear in the dark of night.

Instead of asking Google, he always asks spouse

Adapted from an online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Something snapped in me the other day when I realized my husband of 60 years leads to use me as Google instead of doing the research himself. 'We want to hire this contractor, is there a better case?' 'Where are we going to go and what are we going to do on vacation?' 'Where should we go to dinner?' And even better.

'What should I do after I come?' 'Of the one hand, I appreciate that he is asking my opinion. On the other hand, my opinion was most often than rejected out of hand, or I am inundated with the problem. I was not sure how I felt I made a particular choice of how a particular fact. Maybe it's an option pandysin, but I'd just like him to switch shoes

and do some research and make a decision.'

How do I maintain my soul now that I bristle every time we have an exchange like this?

Tired of Being Google. You keep your soul by recognizing that you both pitched him this dynamic for a long time without noticing your part or what you were creating. And you recognize that if he were the one who had the sudden snug of unpleasant recognition, see you, then you would feel useful if he went from doing his normal self to fulfilling and losing his soul without explanation. We all you'd know, everything was the same between you as it was yesterday.

I'm not saying you're wrong to be annoyed. My point is squander from justification. It's about the fact of long relationships and, in your case, 30 years of slowly

building a nuisance together — even if you didn't take active part and just contributed with your passive consent. If you're going to pivot now, then say so, and say why. The

make this a joint project toward a better quality of married life.

Just to give you an idea of how habits both of you developed could get you here over years. If, for example, you've always done the research on X or Y for both of you, because you cared more or were better at it or had more time for it, then it could easily stop occurring in him to offer us even try. It's only now that you've grown weary of the 'always' of it, and he's a tough combination of helpless at X or Y because his skills and knowledge in what area have recognized without either of you realizing it, and annoyed he has so little agency in that part of your life.

This hypothetical is realistic enough to show. I hope, why the answer is not to be annoyed with each other. It's to say, huh, we let this oldie in a plane with me of an avenue to want, it's try to convey it [before it gets even worse with anything everlasting].

Re: Tired of Being Google. My ex-husband and I had a similar dynamic. At one point, we did have a conversation to which he pointed out that I tend to be controlling and other dimension

of his ideas. It was a real response for me as I could, in his eyes, we think he's a good thing. He also had a tendency not to speak up for himself. The combination resulted in a lot of hurt feelings.

Once we examined the dynamic, it was easier for me to spot when I was being dismissive and I could stop myself, or at least apologize and be a better listener.

Anonymous: Thank you. It's a perfect example of how easily a lepidated situation can develop. Doing a self-critical inventory like you did, though, that's difficult. Took guts for both of you to be honest.

Another reader's suggestion, for a break vs. major ratio: A simple neutral response is, 'I'm not sure, what are your thoughts?'

Obama has presidential surprise for all-star team

44th commander in chief greets WNBA standouts at his namesake library

BY DEAN FRIEDMAN Associated Press

CHICAGO — Carlito Clark was in one after meeting former president Barack Obama after he surprised the WNBA all-stars on Friday at his Presidential Center. Clark called her conversation with Obama “a moment I’ll probably remember for the rest of my life.”

“It was obviously super cool. He just complimented me for the way that I handle everything obviously with everything that’s been going on,” the Indiana Fever star and Friday after meeting Obama. “Not somebody that has been in front of the media after a bit and he reminded me, ‘When I got famous in my 60s, I didn’t have to do it in my 20s.’”

Obama spoke to the players for a few minutes on the basketball court at the center which opened last month.

“Some of you I’m meeting for the first time. All of you are extraordinary, and I could not sit bigger fans,” Obama said. “The way the game has been growing lately, the way it’s been picking up and people paying attention to your emotions. I think it’s been something for basketball fans, generally, a sight to see. It’s been making me happy.”

He spoke to the players for a few minutes before taking a group photo. Obama then spent about 10 minutes shaking hands with the players and taking photos with them, including Clark.

“I know many of you are involved in some wonderful ventures off the court, looking out for other young people and inspiring them. I just wanted to say thanks,” Obama said.

The former president gave a show out to Alie Wilson in his talk to the players and then went over and chatted with her as well.

After the photo cap were done, Obama stepped on the court and talked with New York Liberty star Douglas Jones, getting the most defensive chance for a few seconds on her.

“I feel like as a beauty, you know when someone’s challenging you. So I was just like, let me go over there with the basketball, you know, do a little cross, bump him a little bit,” Jones said. “And I knew that I would get him activated a little because he’s a keeper, too.”

Jones said she had met Obama once before.

“He’s a role model for me, and it was nice to be able to have that moment,” Jones said. “Someone that I look up to, someone that has paved the way for a lot of people to be here and see him continuing, his family continuing to give back to the community when they’ve already done so much is just so inspirational.”

That was the extent of his time on the court. He told the players that he didn’t play five-on-five anymore to protect his Achilles.

LeBron James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, flirted with retirement after spending the past eight seasons with the Lakers.

The king’s choice

Calling it his ‘last decision,’ James, 41, agrees to a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers

BY DAN GELBYON Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — LeBron James’s first “final” decision was that he would retire. “Books of deep reflection led him to change his mind, however, with all the familiar options in front of him to extend his career: a third trip with the Cleveland Cavaliers, a second stop in Miami, maybe even stay in California for a high-profile union with the Golden State Warriors.”

Hope — in all of those teams. The blazing headline in bold letters still seemed like a feverish dream to the bulk of

a fan base that wasn’t even after the previous time the franchise won a title, but it’s true:

LeBron James is heading to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer made the announcement on social media Friday, saying it will be the ‘last decision’ and that it comes after he strongly considered retirement.

“I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I can so control to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time,” James said.

A four-time NBA champion, James wrote he was “lone” when his first 6th season ended as it had it was his last with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and decide if I still love this game,” James wrote. “I still truly love this game, and I have more to give.”

The 41-year-old James is set to sign a modest $8 million, two-year contract on the veterans’ minimum with the 76ers, according to ESPN. He made nearly $52

Nationals’ high-octane offense languishes

DIAMONDBACKS 3, NATIONALS 2

Rate go AWOL as Nats tumble in return home

BY DANIELLE BLEEVICKS

There’s no such thing as a dual-rate game in July. But for the Washington Nationals, who are playing meaningful games after the all-star break for the first time in six years, this weekend series against the Arizona Diamondbacks is being managed like a playoff matchup.

The status, despite the date on the calendar, are high. Reading from the series, the Diamondbacks held the third wild card spot in the National League, with four teams, including the Nationals, launched up within two games of three. The Diamondbacks then took the first game of the three-game series, 3-2, to maintain their standing while Washington slipped three games back Friday and Sunday.

“They want to win,” Nationals Manager Blake Refers said. “They haven’t been in this position in a while. There’s a lot of excitement, but the strategy and they’re looking forward to playing every night. Unfortunately, just not coming out on the right side tonight.”

This loss, and this series as a whole, won’t determine whether the Nationals make it to October. But with teams so close together in the standings, every game could matter. And as the clock feels closer to the Aug. 3 trade deadline, each win and loss helps the front office decide whether they are going to be either, buyers or nothing at all.

“I don’t think anyone expected us to be where we are today,” said Dylan Crowe, who had a two-star break in the loss. “I think to get to where we want to get to we have to win one-run ballgames and just come up with some big hits . . . who knows what’s going to happen, but we’re fighting each and every day.”

Opener Carson Paltzquist muddled through the first inning for the Nationals, allowing three runners to reach, but he coughed after 25 pitches without allowing any damage. He faced three bullets in the second inning, allowing a double to Max Kepler and a walk to Tyler Locklear, before his stay was done.

Zack Littell came in with one out to pitch the bulk of the game. Immediately giving up a run on a perfectly placed front from Tim Tøve, Kristi Marie then hit a groundor in first, but instead of having a double play, the Nationals were only able to get the out at second. The Diamondbacks took a 2-0 lead on the play, and Littell had to face two more batters before he got the third out.

Those runs would be all Littell allowed in five innings.

“Yeah, I mean it works, obviously I want to come in there and not let Carson’s run come across,” Littell said. “But the process is

The NFL is back on center stage

As camps open, the league has no shortage of gripping storylines

RON MALLING

Associated Press

Aaron Donald’s potential comeback bid, Patrick Mahomes’s recovery and several quarterback battles are just a few of the top NFL storylines entering training camp.

The reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Roakeville and the defending AFC champion New England Patriots opened camp Friday, joining the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 40ers report Saturday and the remaining 38 teams start with the 76ers.

Ten teams have now head coaches, 21 have new offensive coordinators and 16 brought in new defensive coordinators.

Here are the top stories to watch:

Will Donald sureties?

The three-time Associated Press defensive player of the year is contemplating a comeback to team with star stage crafter Myke Garrett and increase the Rams’ chances of winning another Super Bowl in their home stadium.

Donald is 25 and hasn’t played since retiring after the 2012 season. He played a key role for Los Angeles when the Rams won the Super Bowl after the 2013 season.

Will Mahomes play Week 1?

The three-time Super Bowl MVP two two ligaments in his left base Dec. 16 as the Chiefs were on their way to a 0-11 finish. Mahomes had surgery to repair his

ACC and LCL a day later, and participated in Kansas City’s off-season practices. He is on track to play against the Denver Broncos on Sept. 16, barring any setbacks. If Mahomes starts the upcast, it will be eight months post-injury.

Will Mayfield get extended?

Baker Mayfield is in the final season of a three-year, $100 million deal with the Tampa Bay Recrucers. He tailed off after an outstanding start last season when he played through several injuries. Mayfield wants to stay with Tampa Bay and the Base want him. He’s expected to get around $35 million per season and it’s just a matter of when the two sides reach an agreement.

James lands with Philadelphia after pledging that this will be his 'last decision'

LEEDSON FIGUR B7

million last season.

"I'm not going for money. I'm not going to family," James wrote. "What isn't really playing for at this point? I still want to ascribe. I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning."

James contended his decisions on Instagram with a career highlight end set to Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill's "Dreams and Nightmares," the adopted sports officer (only in 1993).

The video ends with the text, "hold up, wait a minute. You thought I was finished" and cuts to a 76ers' logo.

Hearers are not ready to play for No. 24 jersey on sale for $125 with delivery not expected until the end of August. The company sold out within hours of the announcement.

Much as James did for Cleveland when he ended a 16-year championship drought for the city leading the Cavaliers to the title in 2019, he had ready to play for the drought for the 76ers.

Philadelphia went 40-17 last season and was swept in the second round by the NBA champion New York Knicks.

Most betting sites had the 76ers as 9-1 favorites to win the championship behind the Midseason (No. Thunder, the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, as of Friday afternoon.

James joins a 76ers team that has set won an NBA championship since 1993 and has not advanced out of the second round for the Eastern Conference playoffs since 2000.

The other should boast out of the top starting lines in the NBA with second-year standard W Edgeworths, fellow all-star Jock

LeEbon James, pictured with son and Lakers teammate Bronny Jr. in 2024, captured his most recent NBA title with Los Angeles in 2020.

Redfield, Trevor Maxey and Jackie Brown — the 2024 NBA Finals MVP, a five-time all-star and the longest fourth-leading scorer this post-season acquired in a stunning offseason deal with the Celtics.

Maxey posted an Instagram sto

ry of him celebrating in a gym and yelling "what?" what?" over the news while Brown wrote on X "whisowderlucky" Brown wrote the same phrase in his introductory note to Philadelphia, and it has already been branded on bill

boards throughout the city.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (21 even proclaimed Friday as LeBose James Day in the start.

Turned out with the Brown deal, new 76ers team president Mike Ganney — an Ohio prep bas

terball star with James — was just getting started with his summer of surgeries.

No move, of course, hits like James's arrival.

Playing with his home team in Cleveland to the bright lights of

Los Angeles and with the talent he took to Miami, James won an NBA championship everywhere he played. James left the Lakers after an eight-season run highlighted by the 2020 NBA title.

James is the NBA's oldest action player at 41 and the only player in league history to have a career spanning 25 seasons; the coming season will be his 16th. Speculation has been rampant for more than two months about his future, officially starting in May when the Lakers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs.

James's résumé is beyond censure in NBA history. He's a 22-time all-star, a 21-time all-NBA selection, a four-time most valuable player, a four-time NBA Finals MVP, a three-time All-Star Game MVP, and was a member of the NHAS 75th anniversary team.

He's also coming off a season in which he averaged 26.9 points, 6.3}(\text{seconds}) and 7.2 assist. For the career, he has averaged 26.6 points, 7.5 softscales and 7.4 assists in more than 1,600 games.

James started his career in Cleveland to 2018 and spent seven seasons with the Cavaliers before heading to the Miami Heat for four seasons — where he won his first two NBA titles. He then moved to a Cleveland six year team season, including that title run in 2018, and left in 2019 for the Lake.

Cleveland and Miami were believed to be on James's radar again as he weighed this decision.

"Thank you LA, Miami J'll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!" James wrote.

He eighty-sized them all for a shot to win a title with the 76ers, a franchise with a career lineup that includes Will Chamberlain, Allen Iverson, Julius Erving, Charles Barkley and, for the next two seasons, LeEbon James.

Mahomes's return, Donald's comeback stir intrigue as camps open

NFL 25/100 B7

Quarterback competitions

There's a battle between the leftist in Indiana, where Hal Dgewalins and Michael Pezic J. will compete. A change of scenery could help Dgewalins regain his Pro Bowl term.

Kyle Murphy and J.J. McCarthy fight for the starting job in Minnesota. Murphy, a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback in Arizona, is the favorite to start Week 1. McCarthy and the Chicago free-round pick in 2024 and could even end up No. 3 brilliant veteran Carson Wynn.

DeSham Watson has a shot to start in Cleveland after tearing his right Jubilee singles twice in a span of three months and sitting out the 2023 season. Watson is on the final year of a five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million contract. Similar finalists, who won 3-4 as a starter as a rookie, showed glimpses of the potential and will get an opportunity to win the job.

The maturation of Mendoza

Kirk Coombs is expected to start in Las Vegas but Fernando Mendoza could end up starting sooner than later. It will be interesting to see how many first-team snaps rookie coach Kimi Kubiak give the first team to play 1st in the play winner, national champion and No. 1 overall pick.

Will Fuglar' offense change?

The 2024 Super Bowl champion in 11 games last season despite an inconsistent offense that cost Kevin Parulis his job as offensive coordinator. Jean Manstam took over after coaching Green Bay's quarterbacks last season. He was a journeyman quarterback in the NFL between 2015-21 and brings a new system that's rooted in

Jean McVay and Kyle Shanahan's philosophies of pre-snap section, make-seater plays and use of play-action.

He'll be the sixth offensive coordinator in seven seasons for John Hurts, who won't have A.J. Brown as his primary receiver this season.

Scott's coaching transition

The Super Bowl change m

plazed Kubiak with another Shanahan disciple at offensive coordinator.

Kubiak and Henry worked together previously in San Francisco. Brian Fleury served in various roles with the 49ers and coached tight ends and was the run game coordinator in 2023. He plans to keep much of Kubiak's system, which allowed Sam Durnald to thrive.

Injury updates

Quarterbacks Bo Niu (ankle) and Daniel Jones (Achiller) are expected to be ready for Week 1. Niu was injured in Denver's playoff win against the Buffalo Bills and missed the AFL championship game. Jones got hurt in Week 14 last season as the Celtic were in the middle of a seven-game losing streak to end a season they began 6-2.

Tight end George Kittle (Achiller) could return to San Francisco lineup in the first month. Giants running back Cam Shattelle (film/ankle), Dolphins running back De Von Achsan (shoulder), 49ers edges Dick Ross (ACL), Mykell Williams (ACL), Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter (T.C.C.) and Giants wide receiver Malik Nubera (ACL) are also coming back from significant injuries.

NFL 25/100 B7

Former President Barack Obama poses for a selfie with Atlanta Dream all-star Angel Reese on Friday.

Obama holds court with WNBA stars in Chicago

WNBA FIGUR B7

He did say that he broke in the court with a game of "tween."

Obama was the first sitting U.S. President to attend a WNBA game when he and his daughter, Sarah, sat conclude in 2009 for a Washington Mystics game. He also has hosted many of them at the White House after they either won WNBA championship or NCAA titles.

Obama was gifted with a No. 44 WNBA all-star jersey that the players were going to auto-graph later.

He was the first professional sport to use the basketball court at the center, which opened in June. Obama went to the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles in February. Obama said he outfor

tunately wasn't going to be able to make the All-Star Game on Saturday because of a previous engagement with his wife, Michelle.

"It's fitting for our 30th anniversary that we've been as the first sports league to play in the Obama Presidential Center," WNBA Commissioner Cathy Siegelbert said. "Someone who has inspired hundreds of millions of people to dream big and accomplish things like President Obama has and his tie to basketball is amazing, too. I think there's no more fitting person to be starting with the players."

After talking to the players, Obama went across the center to talk to a group of members in the league and nearly 100 high school girls to talk.

6</td SATURDAY, JULY 23, 2026 - THE WASHINGTON POST 62 66 B11 PERSPECTIVE Sankey and the SEC may have the numbers but the Big Ten has the hardware BY KEVIN SHERRINGHAM The Dallas Morning News HALLAS — Pressed at SEC media days on whether the farthest remains the greatest in all the land despite recent results suggesting he had been dethroned, if not beheaded, Greg Sankey titled and rits supporting his claims of informant. The commissioner has got numbers. The Big Ten has trophies. If Sankey's argument gains any traction with the rank and file, it could open up a whole new line of defense for Jerry Jones. Think of the possibilities. Wouldn't matter what happened in the war room or not the field? Only how he ran the numbers. For those of us who have pretty much made a living out of championing trophies as the ultimate arbiter, this sort of thing doesn't sit well. Violates the promise of what we like about sports in the first place. We can never really know his son: which could paper in the softest or, if we're lucky, which kid down and dad liked best. But if those being Oklahoma at the State Day, that's that, we must label with your's found in every days. Doesn't matter what happened 20 years ago or 10 years ago or last year, for that matter. You win, you win. Sankey then numbers? To those. Over the past three years, the Big Ten has won three national titles and gone 4-0 against the SEC to playoff games. Heck, MI- and went 3-0 against the SEC (Texas A&E and OK Ohio; in last three's postseason: fourteen before, the SEC still leads the Big The SEC is faring a challenge from the Big Ten for national supremacy as college football's top league. Ten in College Football Playoff trophies, 4-4. Clemson also owns a couple national titles over the past 10 years, not that it makes the Tigers a favorite this fall. Or in the near future. College football is in a far different place from the one Duke Germany remembers as finally. NIL hasn't really turned the old hierarchy on its head, but it's softest a few. Trust first is as good a bet to win it all as Alabama this fall. Now you know why Nick Adams vetoed. He could see this coming. Vegas gives Big Ten schools three of the five best odds at a national title. In fairness, the SEC has five of the top 10, supporting Sankey's argument. He's just making the wrong one. From top to bottom, the SEC is the toughest league. And it only gets tougher this year with each school playing nine conference games instead of eight. Plus, at least one of their exchanges free must be from a power conference. They agreed to this thinking there would be a 10- or 24-school play-off in now. Another loss wouldn't hurt us much. Now SEC schools are stuck with a more troublesome path in an era in which the Big Ten has the upper hand and former have-ness cash as Tech are on the rise. So Sankey pounds his pulpit. He believes the UFP committee gives too much weight to wins as opposed to equality of competition. A fair point. The committee will, in fact, employ a "record strength" metric this fall. Here's another reason Sankey hangs his down: The SEC wants to dictate terms for the Protect College Sports Act position in the Senate by Ted Cline and Maria Cantwell in a new demonstration of bipartisan support. Except with the SEC. They have offered what shatter called "if common-cause suggestions" centered on four key principles: enforceable national standards, a national framework to curb state laws (recommending rules; transparency and accountability; and fair and consistent standards that preserve voluntary decision-making). They also want antitrust and preemption languages to address a barrage of lawsuits. And they want it all now, because if it's passed as in, there's no going back to fix it. So, to sharpen your, you say things like there's been "real" conversation about leaving the NCAA and going out on your own. "There's a lot of sentiment for breaking away and turning out some rules," Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian said earlier this year. "That's realistic. You're going to sign up my own fact, but if you do, here's our rules. Here's how this thing is going to work." Georgia's president, Jim Moreland, suggested to make this year. Sankey didn't do anything to soften the sentiment at media days. "I'm not believe it in a leverage of it," he said. "I think that's honest communication." Yeah, right. Look, I'm down with anything that attempts to throw a net over what has become of college athletes. If it takes a little area twisting, no problem. But if you're threatening to drop out of the NCAA if you don't get your way, you had better be prepared to do so. You might become putting your farthest will take more effort than a book of rules and a sworn call to play now. Besides, who's joining your little wide organization, anyway? The Big Ten and SEC issued a joint statement this year on common with the SEC, but, as far as I can tell, no one from the reigning championship game has said a poop about dropping out. And if the nation's premier football conference isn't yet heard, what will the posturing of the country up make on the rise? Clemson are Sankey knows his league has some work to do if they're going to try to tell everyone else what's best for college athletes. Playing that "a big league, top to bottom" card won't be the big, it need to try that, too. On thing is, no one can't have good your bottom half in. Only if the teams up top are a good position. The past three years, three different Big Ten teams won it all. None of them had to beat an SEC team in the finals. How do you call yourself the best if you're not even in the game to decide it? "If we won," Sankey told a reporter, "you don't ask me the question." Exactly. Win, and we're gold-ish. Otherwise, you've created something,Argentina could probably get behind.

I go out there and try to do the same thing regardless of what the situation is and attack you? The Nationals tied it up in the fourth. CJ Abrams, who has been up since the all-star break-masked on a soft grenade. He's now 11 for 21 in his past five games, building on the stellar season that's already included an inning, but the other career came down in home runs and RBI. Crews, who is hitting 2nd against left-handed pitchers, he's loved with a two-run homer to make it by. "Ball shot off his hat like a cannon," Britten said. "When he's on balance and on time like that, he's able to do some pretty on-potential things with the hat." The game remained tied until the seventh inning, when the Nationals' badges took over. Tom Congress inherited a runner and then was with one out. Per the next turn, he had traded the bases after allowing a base hit to Corbin Carroll and a walk to Osvaldo Perifome. Gabriel Morena hit a sacrifice fly to drive in a run to give the Diamondbacks a 2-2 lead. Butron then swapped Congress for Orlando Rilke, who was able to get the Nationals out of the inning without incurring further damage. A 2-2 deficit should have been manageable enough for the high-powered Nationals offense to overcome. But they went down to order in the final three innings, failing to reach base against the Diamondbacks bullpen. Britten said that offense may have been pressing, the manager noting how badly the team wants to win these games. "It's an uncharacteristic one from our real, only scoring two," Britten said. "Over, get that here on shot, but outside of that we just couldn't get much going." Note: Trevor Williams (Tommy John surgery) and Jake Irvin (right shoulder strain) both pitched in rehab games on Friday as they seldom closer to a return.

Ex-speed skater's lawsuit can go on Farrell alleges USIPC failed to protect her from being sexually abused BY RICK MAZIE Nearly six years after she filed suit, a former Texas USA speed skater's claims of negligence against the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and U.S. Speedskating can proceed toward trial, a federal judge fired, rejecting the organization's attempts to have the case dismissed. Bridie Farrell used the organization in 1993, alleging they failed to protect her from sexual abuse by former Olympic speed skater Andy Gabel. After years of discovery and attempts by the organization to see the case dismissed, U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Smith Jr. found that factual questions remain about what the organizations know, what responsibility they had for Farrell's safety and whether their failures contributed to her injuries. Farrell alleges that Gabel, a four-time Olympian, abused her over a seven-month period beginning in 1997, when she was 11 and 18, was a 10-year-old man-died and mentor. Her lawsuit contends that officials within the sport had received earlier warnings about Gabel's conduct with young female skaters but continued to allow him access to minors. Gabel has denied abusing Farrell. He has acknowledge loosing and touching her and described their contact as a "relief, inappropriate relationship," but he has denied having a sexual relationship with her. A U.S. Speedskating investigation later found that he had engaged in sexual activity with Farrell while she was a minor, according to testimony from the organizations' former chief executive. The USIPC did not respond to a request for the same. In 1998, she did not do a chief executive of U.S. Speedskating, declined to comment, citing the pending litigation. But the unbiased Farrell's separate claims for negligence and intentional addiction of emotional distress against the USIPC and U.S. Speedskating. He also dismissed all claims against the Saratoga Winter Club, the claim as and Gabel denied for, finding that Farrell had not produced evidence that the alleged abuse occurred on club property or while she was in its custody or control. To a dishonesty clear from the Court's review of the record that there are many genuine issues of material fact regarding the responsibility of the USIPC and U.S. Speedskating, Smith's writer. Farrell said the ruling brought a measure of relief in a process she called "gooding." He really proud to have made it this fall," she said in an interview. "I feel slightly better. I feel heard. When I first read it, I heard up, because it was like 'Yes, it's worth speaking on footwork, keep engaged, and it's through this is very, very hard, we have to keep doing this." The judge has set a trial date for next June. Gabel remains a defendant in the lawsuit. He did not seek summary judgment, and the new rulings did not address Farrell's claims against him. The ruling closes a single hurdle that had lingered since August 2002, when the USIPC, U.S. Speedskating and the Saratoga Winter Club asked the judge to end the claims against them without a trial. Farrell has said she met Gabel in 1999 through the club. Her lawsuit alleges that he began denying her three years later, initially in his car while transactional for 9- and from possession alleged that other incidents occurred at several locations, including the Lake Placid Olympic Training Center and a hotel during the 1999 U.S. Olympic trials. Her negligence claims against the USIPC and U.S. Speedskating center to part on whether the organization had prior notice that Gabel posed a danger in young subjects. Farrell pointed to a 1990 investigation into allegations that Gabel had engaged in a sexual relationship with another seven-cell speed skater at Northern Michigan University's Olympic training center. The USIPC disputed that it knew Gabel posed a threat to minors and argued that it did not employ or directly control him. U.S. Speedskating argued that Gabel was training as a fellow skater, not serving as Farrell's coach or acting as an employee or representative of the organization. It said it did not learn about the 1990 investigation until 2004, and contended that neither Farrell nor the other young skaters had told its officials about their relationships with Gabel at the time. Farrell argued that the USIPC succinctly agreed over the Lake Placid training center, where she alleges at least one incident occurred, and that U.S. Speedskating had sufficient authority over athletes and the sport to intervene. Bridie did not resolve those competing accounts.

The sun pours through its many gaps, creating a constellation of light that illuminates the forest floor before. The steel frame is rusted and corroded. The wood is intact. The concrete columns are covered in graffiti. Neglected for decades, the Foundry Branch Trolley Tracts has been overtaken by vegetation. Parts of the bridge are enveloped in ivy. Trees have grown up through the structure. Trains fly above the trolls. It was built in Georgetown in 1894, seven years before the first aircraft flew. It shouldn't still be standing — local officials have been warning for years that the bridge was at risk of imminent collapse — but somehow, it is. In few places other than Washington could a dilapidated bridge be so polarizing. In its loyalty, the trolls was a passage point for the trolley line that took thousands of passengers from Georgetown to the amusement park in Glen Echo, Maryland. That trolley line ended in the early 1900s, but trolls enthusiasts, preservationists and bicycle advocates have fought to save the bridge because of its historical significance and capacity to be repurposed into a pathway for pedestrians and cyclists.

Howard University unenrolls hundreds days before move-in BY SOPHIA SOLANO Incoming Howard University freshman Isabella Williams, 16, applied to every local scholarship, she could find without telling her parents. It "felt like a gift to them," she said, in part because her mother was forced to leave the same school decades ago because of financial challenges. But on Wednesday, two days before her scheduled early move-in, she received an email from the school saying that she had lost her place to the class of 2010. She had missed a payment deadline, the school alleged, suggesting that she apply to the future as a transfer student. "Never in my life have I gotten so far and worked so hard for it to be stripped from me," she said through tears in an Instagram video post. She started the account, educational, to promote the nonprofit organization she founded. "I'm suddenly unenrolled from my dream school. A school that I worked so hard to get into." She was one of the 283 students that the university dropped with less than a month until fall reporter classes begin. According to the school, these students failed to meet established payment, payment arrangement or scholarship reporting deadlines after months of communications. But many students say they had reported forthcoming scholarships well in advance of deadlines — and are now left wondering whether to unpack their deem supplies.

B13 B14 12 96 THE WASHINGTON POST-SATURDAY, JULY 21, 2026 Push to save trolley bridge falls short PHOTOS BY THOMAS, WASHINGTON POST-SATURDAY, JULY 21, 2026 BRIDGE (PHOTO BY) settled a lawsuit brought by the streetcar system's previous owner, has for years sought to demolish the 210-year-old structure. To WNAZA, it's a liability. Following a lengthy fight, the agency is closer than ever to getting its wish: The National Park Service took one of the final steps to grant WNAZA permission to stay the bridge. "It's a total loss in all respects," said Peter Harrak, co-founder of the Ralls-to-Trade Conservancy. "It's a terrible waste of a wonderful historic structure, and it's a really bad waste of a great connection between Georgetown and the Palisades." Last week, the Park Service released a memorandum of agreement regarding the demolition of the trestle and gave the signatories until Aug. 12 to sign it, a spokesperson said. Once the memorandum is finalized and the Park Service completes its environmental impact review, the Park Service will issue a permit to allow WNAZA to enter federal land to remove the bridge, the spokesperson said. They said they expect the permit will be issued in the fall. Rebecca Miller, executive director of the DC Preservation League, said she blamed WNAZA for losing a post-reversal of the trestle. "They ignored it for decades. That's why it's in the shape that it's in," Miller said. "They are responsible for the demolition of the trestle," she added. The DC Preservation League has fought to save the trestle since 2008. Miller said, including through an unsuccessful lawsuit. WNAZA declined to comment on plans for the demolition or criticism about its oversight of the trestle. The 260-foot-long, 20-foot-wide structure is in Ward 2, north of the Potomac River. Sitting west of the Georgetown University campus and visible from Canal Road NW, the structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's also on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites as a contributing element of the Glover Airfield Historic District. Streetcars began operating in Washington during the Civil War and soon became the primary way people got around the city, according to John DeFerrari, a D.C. historian and author of the book "Capital Streetcars: Early Mass Transit in Washington, D.C." Streetcars allowed people to move further away from the city, into places like Mount Pleasant and Chevy Chase, DeFerrari said. "Streetcars: They were it," he said. Preserving that vestige of D.C.'s transportation history is why DeFerrari thinks the trestle should be saved. "We can't freeze our lives in amber. That's not feasible or desirable," he said, but historic structures like the trestle, which aren't impeding any development, are the sorts of things that should be maintained. "It's a unique structure that represents where we came from and how we used to travel. Having that around is just a wonderful way to recall where we come from and understand better where we are now. It is going to be a loss because we won't have that point of perspective in our milder anymore," DeFerrari said. Carol Szymkowicz, 76, said some of her fondest memories from childhood were riding the trolley over the trestle with her creation on their way to the amusement park in the 1950s. "The ride itself was pointed to more fun than the actual time in Glen Kline because we just loved being together and ending out the streetcar with the windows open, seeing all the things passing by. The chickety-clock was fun, too," said Szymkowicz, who lives in Northwest Washington. Szymkowicz said the trestle is a physical reminder of her youth. "I know it's a decoupled-looking thing right now, but it means a lot to me," she said. For Harrak, the fight to save the trestle goes back to the 1950s, when he was president of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association and advocated to turn the bridge into a blue path. Over the years, advocates kept pushing, pointing to the utility of a path connecting the Palisades and Georgetown, so cyclists and pedestrians could avoid the busy traffic on Canal Road SW. "This really could be useful if it was fixed," said Brett Young, a longtime Palisades resident. Young has been a vocal supporter of caring the trestle for the past decade. He thinks about the trestle most days, he said, and since 2003, he has accumulated more than 8,000 emails about the structure. "It's a very important part of me," said Young, who has never gotten involved in advocacy before. "I've yet to be inspired by anything else." The closest advocates got to caring the trestle was a few years ago, when DDOT conducted a feasibility study about taking over the trestle and developing a pedestrian and bike path connecting the Palisades and TOP: A place flies over the Foundry Branch Trolley Trestle, which was built in Georgetown in 1888. MIDDLE: Light poses through the bridge's many gaps. BOTTOM: The DC Preservation League has fought to save the trestle since 2009. Georgetown. But that 2010 study determined the project was not feasible. Michael Alvins, who led DDOT's inquiry into taking over the trestle, said a combination of factors led to that conclusion: opposition from Georgetown University, the poor condition of the bridge, the high cost to save it and the lack of a political champion on the D.C. Council or in the mayor's office. Alvins said DDOT gave it an honest effort. "The political reality is there was never really a champion for this," he said. "The people that were the most passionate about it were the historic preservationists and the bike community. They're strong advocates and they have their own constituencies, but it's just not enough to get something into big group." Complishing matters is the bureaucratic move in which the trestle finds itself. WNAZA owns the bridge, but the National Park Service owns the land the bridge is on. Georgetown University owns nearby land, so does the District and the Army Corps of Engineers. "I could not draw circles on a map to tell you which part each controls because it's so confusing," said Mark Blumenthal, an adviser to Neighborhood Development in Ward 2. Over the years, Morris tried to sell or donate the trestle to the National Park Service, Georgetown University and D.C. Water. "WNAZA never wanted to take control of it or be responsible for it," said Mary M. Clark, who served as Ward 2's council member from 2007 to 2023. To Harrak, from the Ralls-to-Trade Conservancy, the competing constituencies made caring the trestle even harder. "No one was taking the lead on this. It's easier to tear it down than figure out how to preserve it," he said. But Harrak also points to opposition from the wealthy people who live in the surrounding neighborhoods. "Georgetown and the Palisades — the politics of those two neighborhoods is not ideal, because they want a nice trail, but they don't want anybody to see it," he said. "It's a very engaged, argumentative, powerful group of people that checkmate each other." Opposition from local residents was also the primary roadblock for Heather Deutsch, who worked at DDOT from 2007 to 2024. During that time, she tried to rally support for turning the trestle into a pedestrian and bike path. "They were just obnoxious, to be honest," Deutsch said about local residents who opposed the project. "Very NIMBE. Very We don't want anyone else using this trail." (NIMBE stands for "not in my backyard.") Former council member Clark said nearby residents on MacArthur Boulevard opposed the path because they were worried about cyclists spending through their neighborhood. "It's reminding me of why I decided, after four terms, that I should let somebody else take over. It was not frustrating to try to work that all out. Everything sort of staged the same, and nothing happened," she said. It is unclear when the demolition will take place, but council member Matthew Frumin (D-Ward 2), who has pushed the Council and the mayor's office to save the trestle, said he hopes the bridge can hold on until the District's next administration takes over in January. With James Lewis-George likely to be D.C.'s next mayor, Frumin said he plans to pitch the new administration on caring the structure. "It could've been — it could be — a really beautiful, treasured asset," Frumin said. But after all three years, he added that he isn't getting his hopes up.

Virginia has set its percent in its federal Victims of Crime Act funding since 2016, having sexual and domestic violence agencies to eliminate analistas and manage growing waitlists while continuing to provide crisis services.

Another across the state received more than 70,000 adults, tests and online chats. But agencies' ability to meet that demand has declined.

The cut in VOCA funds in the biggest financial challenge the agency has faced in its history.

Sometimes, by the time, a consumer becomes profitable, the car over is an longer ready to seek help. At one point, the agency had nine counselors, Today, I had three. 'The way the cycle runs, especially with domestic violence, is there's that honeymoon stage that happens after a host of violence, and that's when everything is usually run, and the perpetration has apologized, and they say they'll never do it again,' said Mary Maspal, executive director of Safe Har- bor. 'The individuals we serve, they're in a crisis, and you have to be able to step up and meet them in crisis where they are. If you're not able to do that, then that crisis passes, and that opportunity to provide hope and leading passes with it. You may you get another chance to help that individual, but you never know.' The agency has maintained its shelters, but with less money available for hand rooms when they're full, some survivors have to be turned away. VOCA funding accounts for about a quarter of Safe Harbor's budget. 'You try not to think about the people that you can't help, but you've got to wonder what happens to them,' Maspal said. 'We know for a but some of them who have to their abuses. We know that people who have come to this shelter have told us they would have killed themselves if it wasn't for the shelter. They were that desperate, that empty of hope.' Safe Harbor isn't alone. At the VOCA, which provides support services to survivors of irritants partner and sexual violence, the organization had to turn some survivors away last March after funding for long-term emergency shelter sited up. Private philanthropy is an alleged fill soon of the funding gap, but it has not eliminated difficult decisions. Executive Director Rupa Murthy said. 'We're seeing more violence than ever,' Murthy said. 'We continue to see the numbers rise your over year.' 'The organization's regional domestic violence hotline saw a 25 percent increase in calls between 2024 and 2025, while some others carried federal standards and volunteers helped staff the hotline around the clock.' 'When there is a gap, we are able to do her,' Murthy said. 'We can provide less financial assistance.' Virginia lawmakers have increased state support for sexual and domestic violence agencies, including an additional $3 million annually this year. Tijana called it the largest annual state investment in sexual and domestic violence services in Virginia's history, but said it has not fully replaced the use of federal funding. 'When (narrative) he seek help and we're not able to help them, it is really really a tragic situation for everybody involved,' Maspal said.

Howard drops over 500 students UNENHELLED-FRIED BO families,' the university said in a statement, 'that the final finalists enrollment for the Fall 2026 semester, which begins August 25, confirming enrollment is essential to planning academic programs, training financial aid, and student support services.' The university recognizes, the statement said, that some students with pending external scholarships and other financial aid resources 'may have been impacted.' It will 'consider external circumstances' on a pre-student basis. Pending opportunities such as veterans benefits, national scholarships and some other scholarships and loans often are unbiased until after the school's start-up, and after the school's end-up. Williams had a $12,000 balance on her account as of earlier this week, which she had planned to have a $1,000 with some scholarship funds. She was nervous about delays, so she called the university, she said, to confirm it was about that she would have been able to use the operating of support. Her family's taxes was already paid for the three financial loans. She received the university's email sending her enrollment while she was saying a false goodbye to a high school friend. 'These kids had ways to pay for their college,' she said. 'It's not like they were coming in on good faith and no money.' Howard University has a history of confusing communications, older students said. Last summer, students learned that they owed thousands of dollars in post-derivation and were told they were required to pay off balances in a matter of weeks. These who failed to do so should having their degrees withheld or being sent to collections. Those students have had their admissions reinstated. However, many students told The Washington Post that the university's financial aid is enrollment before have been unresponsive. One or said that university communications ended up in open balance of default high school email accounts. 'A lot of people called, including me, and were on hold for like an hour,' said freshman Yusuf Dewam, 24, of Austin.

As soon, she received intensive e-mails from the university regarding a hold on her account because of an overtime balance. But she 'wasn't too worried about it' because she had also responded a $16,000 loan — and notified the university — on June 24, she said. By early July, the loan was still not reflected in her account. She called the Office of the Bureau, which said her balance had been paid and there was the hold on her account. On Wednesday, she received the email letting her know she had her her eyes. Since the emails were sent, some prospective and formerly unadmitted students have received notification that they were accepted from a waiting list, according to social media posts. The university said that these admissions were not 'to comment with this action.' On Thursday afternoon, Williams noticed that her student portal showed she was again accredited in classes for the fall 2026, signaling a potential overstillment. But there was a problem. 'None of us have our financial aid anymore, so now my bill is at $30,000,' she said. 'And that's not something that I can pay. That's not something that any of us can pay.'

The state manufacturers could not immediately be reached for treatment. 'Maryland communities are still living with addiction and have been in the state of the United States, Brown said in a statement: 'These settlements will front treatment and recovery lines helps Maryland to break the cycle.

The payments from all Sun Mylan and Arusad will be made in a single year. In addition to the financial payments, the companies agreed to pay losses on their opioid businesses. The settlements prohibit the manufacturers from prescribing or marketing opioid products to prescribers or patients, but often from manufacturing, promoting or distributing opiates to gifts exceeding 40 milligrams, and prohibit lying sales staff compensation or discipline to opioid sales volume. The companies also must maintain systems to monitor and report ongoing costs to an in-going problem. The settlements receive allegations only and are not findings of liability.

Mr Jackson, the inventor of was more than a housing initiative. It marked the revival of a neighborhood that had been a future of her childhood. 'This was a place that we always called about, we played over here. We had friends and classmates,' she said. Salisbury Mayor Randy Taylor was a founding board member of Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services and recalled early week, including weekends spent 'getting houses to save a few dollars in the value.' Executive Director Cheryl Meadows said the Pirewater Street block has been in an eligible state the mid-1990s. City records show the nonprofit had hoped to buy and rehabilitate the rowhouses for about two decades, but struggled to secure agreement among the properties multiple owners. Mendows said the 1911 row- houses originally included a storefront, and a marble structure still bears the name of one of the original developers, John Whitaker. 'We more than a century, three rowhomes have provided housing for generations of Salisbury families. But, over the years, maintaining properties that are more than 100 years old became a challenge,' she said. Place call for five one-bedroom and six three-bedroom rowhouses, a restored commercial storefront and a three-bedroom decided home at the Hauck west end. Meadows said the first before are expected to become available in 2017, no earlier city announcement had projected the rate to be for $42,000. DRUG Secretary Jake Day, Salisbury's former mayor, said the buildings 'are undeniable part of any Salisbury's memory of the physical environment.' Day said brick rowhouses are a signature of Baltimore for use on the Eastern Shore, making the Westport project a distinctive use of UPUPF. 'There aren't very many in Salisbury or anywhere else on the Eastern Shore,' he said. 'This piece of infrastructure... requires a unique approach.' These officials also announced a mortgage product exclusively for first-time buyers purchasing UPUPF-funded homes. It offers a 50-year, fixed-cost loan, a competitive interest rate and 3% down payment assistance. Jackson said the investment was 'not about generalization — it's about building stronger and better communities.' 'If we want to live in nine places, revitalization has to take place,' she said. Next, Jackson wants residents to have an early opportunity to buy, free public homeownership meeting has been held and another of millions. 'The public is invited to come out on how they can invest in this. Because we do want good people from this community, we are not going to have the first life,' she said. 'What I want to see is a lot of people from this actual community be the ones who invest.'

KOZO OKAMOTO, 78 A Japanese militant who took part in a 1972 Tel Aviv airport attack BY RAMON MINOUI Associated Press BURU? — Knox Okamoto, the Japanese militant who took part in a deadly attack on Tel Aviv's airport more than five decades ago, died Thursday in Beirut, the Palestinian group that had been protecting him said. He was 78. The Popular Press for the Liberation of Palestine, a faction that is the second-largest group in the Palestine Liberation Organization, said that Mr. Okamoto had been ill for a long time. Mr. Okamoto, who made rare public appearances since he settled in Lebanon after being released from Israel, was known within the FFLP as claimed as failure, or claimed the Japanese. The FFLP said in its statement that Mr. Okamoto journey was "inached to immerse sacrifices spanning for decades on the interfields of struggle in support of the Palestinian cause." The Palestinian group added that Mr. Okamoto "never compromised nor labored but remained small but to his principles." Mr. Okamoto had served 12 years in an Israeli lockup for a May 30, 1973 attack on the international airport outside Tel Aviv that was thought to be carried out by members of the Japanese Red Army guerrilla group in a joint operation with the FFLP. In the 1973 attack, Mr. Okamoto and his friends were involved in Tel Aviv on a flight from Mr. Okamoto attends a ceremony in May 2022 that was organized by Palestinian militants. He died Thursday in Beirut. Europe, then collected their bags, in which they had packed rifles and grenades, and opened fire, killing 20 people and wounding drums, according to AP reports. The two Japanese with Mr. Okamoto were killed in the attack while he was wounded. Mr. Okamoto was sentenced to life in prison but freed in 1991 in a prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestinian guerrillas. He later gained political acclaim in Lebanon, where he freed until his death. One of the rare public appearances that Mr. Okamoto made was in May 2022 at a Beirut cemetery, where Palestinian militants and other personalities are buried, to mark the 50th anniversary of the attack. The Japanese Red Army, a violent ultrabeirut group that had links to Palestinian militants, was formed in 1971 and took responsibility for several international attacks, including the takeover of the U.S. Consulate in Kuala Lumpur, Pakistan, in 1975. The FFLP is a radical faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization and gained notoriety after the simultaneous hijackings of four Western airliners in 1974 and the seizure of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris that was diverted to Entebbe, Uganda. The FFLP said in a statement Thursday that Mr. Okamoto's attack at the Israeli airport was in retaliation for a 1969 Israeli communist attack on Beirut's international airport. The leader of the FFLP, Ahmed Saadet, is one of the most prominent Palestinians held in Israeli jails. Saadet was accused of organizing the 1969 assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehawan Ziawi, an ultramafanad who called for the mass expulsion of Palestinians. Mr. Okamoto and four other Japanese were arrested by Lebanon authorities in 1997 in eastern Lebanon after spending years illegally in the country, protected by Palestinian and Lebanese leftist groups during the death days of the 1973-69 civil war. They were put on trial and the four were handed over to Japan in 2000 while Mr. Okamoto became the first person to get political acclaim in Lebanon. Japan has been demanding for years that Mr. Okamoto be handed over by Lebanon, but Beirut has repeatedly rejected the decision. He is considered a hero by many in Lebanon after spending years illegally in the country, protected by Palestinian and Lebanese leftist groups during the death days of the 1973-69 civil war. They were put on trial and the four were handed over to Japan in 2000 while Mr. Okamoto became the first person to get political acclaim in Lebanon. BONNIE LOU HAMMONS, 88 A Harford County school bus driver for 38 years BY MIKE KLINGAMAN Baltimore Sun Bonnie Lou Hammons, who drove a school bus in Harford County for 38 years, died July 11 at Alzheimer's disease at Leeten Health and Rehabilitation Center in Bel Air. The longtime resident of Street was 84. Known as "Mike Bonnie," Mr. Hammons skottled students attending several middle and high schools and, at year's end, always gave one to a gift. Bonnie bales hot the list. She sold an annual work, 21 years ago, while successfully battling breast cancer, she scheduled her radiation treatments between her ears. "She was a big 'people' person; she kids loved her," said daughter Beverly Wessel. Born in West Virginia, Mr. Hammons and her family moved to Aberdeen in the 1960s, where she raised six children and began her nearly four-decade life in driving schoolbids. But 7th was her transport to and from high schools including C. Milton Wright and Patterson Mill, both in Bel Air. Her safety record was spotless, family members said. Hammons also visited the sick and the solitary at assisted-living facilities, arriving with arrests of food, stuffed animals and the like — and often sharing them with residents she didn't know. Her summer was infectious, those who know her said. "Bons never met a stranger," Wessel said. On Friday night, Mr. Hammons played things at 1799 Post 6673 in Jarrettville. She won a path to Atlanta City with friends to play the slot machines. After a family trip to Walt Disney World, she haunted five markets and yard sales in search of keepsakes of shelter and Minnie Mouse, collecting licensed restaurants, figurines, silverware, socks, shirts and even a master. Hammons had a likeness of Minnie Mouse tattooed on her left arm, and one of a school bus on her ankle. After surviving breast cancer, Mr. Hammons always wore at least one article of pink attire — either shirt, pants, coat, socks or shoes, her daughter said. "When a student asked, 'Mike Bonnie, do you have anything in your closet that isn't pink?' She replied, 'I do not I don't wear it,' her daughter said. The love of her mother's life, Wessel said, was her dog, Pepper, a dish too who stuck by her side. When Pepper died in her arms this year, at 12, Mr. Hammons took it hand. Pepper gave her purpose to get up in the morning," her daughter said. "We kept his slips and will bury them with more." Mr. Hammons was postponed in 1957 by Ohio State Hammons, her husband of 39 years, and in 1960 by her son, David Mullens. She is survived by daughters Connie Carrillo of Darlington, Lizzie Mullens of Street, Deborah Wallace of Whiteford, and Pamela Rose and Beverly Wessel, both of Bel Air, son Lizzie Mullens of Street, 10 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. Her son, David Mullens, died in 1980.

Scanned PDF detected; routing directly to MistralOCR. Non-model Checks WARNING: missing numeric tokens from source: 18.9, 2016.10.31, 228, 236, 252, 257, 264, 29.1, 303, 333 WARNING: Missing proper nouns in translation: Amazon Shelter, American Family Field, American League, American Tijana, American Trading, Amund Parent, And Doctor Strange, And Doxies, And Fudd, And Herb WARNING: source dates, money, or percentage tokens may be missing Model QA 翻译质量审计报告 结论：严重质量缺陷 (Critical Quality Failures) 该翻译件存在大量不可接受的幻觉、严重损坏的文本生成以及基础翻译错误。 1. 严重幻觉与文本崩溃 (Hallucinations & Text Collapse) 循环重复 (Text Looping)： 在文档后半段出现大面积的“复读机”现象。例如：“2000 年代并非一个好的解决方案”以及“政府一直以来在很大程度上针对以下内容”被无意义地重复数十次。 日期/数字崩溃： 出现大量毫无逻辑的日期序列（如 2010年4月36日 至 100日），以及 1963-2100 年的数字列表，这些内容在原文中并不存在或已被错误重构。 语义篡改： 将 "Pepsi-Centred Outcomes Research Institute" 翻译为“以患者为中心的结局研究机构”，虽然试图修正，但将 "Patient" 误认为 "Pepsi"（原文 OCR 或翻译逻辑崩溃）。 2. 严重遗漏与截断 (Omissions & Truncations) 内容丢失： 源代码中的大量表格数据（Columbia, TN 相关百分比）在译文中被完全省略或以占位符 Dense Tabular Data (Omitted) 代替。 部分段落截断： 多个段落以不完整的句子结束（如“在政府甚...”），属于严重的截断缺陷。 3. 关键错误 (Critical Errors) 数字错误： 原文 "84.5 billion"（桥梁费用）被直接翻译，但缺乏单位上下文且在后续逻辑中混乱。 年份混乱：原文日期为 2006 年，译文在不同部分随意切换 2006, 2024, 2026 年。 术语/专有名词： residual English: 出现了大量未翻译的英语块（如 "percent", "3-Veterans"）。 误译： 将 "senior waitress" (可能是 OCR 错误) 照面翻译，导致语境完全错误。 4. 交付缺陷 (Delivery Defects) 内部标签泄露： 译文顶部保留了 [!WARNING] 翻译质量评估未完全通过 的自检报告，这是严重的交付缺陷。 格式混乱： 包含大量不必要的 Markdown 符号和损坏的列表结构。 审计建议： 该版本完全不可用，建议立即重新翻译并检查 OCR 预处理阶段。
