倒影池项目

继续成为政府棘手问题

五月初，唐纳德·特朗普总统站在林肯纪念堂倒影池的池底，承诺修复长期困扰这座首都最知名地标之一的渗漏和其他问题。

“它将持续，我估计有50年，”他说，“它会持续很长时间。”

特朗普誓言在国家广场的7月4日庆祝活动前完成这项工程。他和助手将这项以数百万美元无竞标合同启动、未经正常审查程序的项目，描述为这位长期房地产大亨能够多快改变华盛顿的例证。

然而，特朗普的改造仅持续了几天。池底的涂层开始明显剥落，特朗普新铺设的池衬碎片（染成“美国国旗蓝”）散落在水面上，藻类滋生使水质浑浊。

此后，政府将责任归咎于“破坏者”的回应，已演变成一场政治风波，引发了对政府领导层在起诉包括前美国奥运选手戴维·赫恩在内的四人时了解哪些情况的质疑。

总统对其最坚定支持者之一、首都地区美国联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗近日撤销对四人的破坏指控感到愤怒。检察官在周五的法庭文件中将损坏归咎于存在缺陷的安装工作，并称内政部未能分享关键信息——

史蒂夫·亨德里克斯 与安东尼·法约拉

伦敦——2025年4月，当唐纳德·特朗普总统大步走进玫瑰园，挥舞着一块展示加征关税的展板时，全球仿佛听到火警响起。市场蒸发了数万亿美元，各国使节涌向华盛顿，75多个政府匆忙展开谈判，一些国家甚至放弃精心准备的反制措施，急于达成协议。

16个月后，这些令人震惊的威胁仍在不断堆积——将贸易武器化、吞并加拿大、夺取格陵兰、抛弃北大西洋公约组织、摧毁伊朗——但警报声已归于沉寂。世界各国领导人不再轻易动摇，因为他们看到总统越来越受到法院制约、被国会驳回，并被德黑兰拖延——他的最后通牒化为乌有，民调数字持续下滑。

参议院委员会在对峙后推进布兰奇出任司法部长

作者：杰里米·罗巴克 及西奥多里克·迈耶

参议院司法委员会周二以党派分歧的投票结果，推进托德·布兰奇的提名，使唐纳德·特朗普总统的前刑事辩护律师距离成为下一任获得确认的司法部长又近了一步。

这场12比10的党派投票是在布兰奇的提名前景上周几乎被共和党内对司法部今年春季为解决特朗普对美国国税局税务申报的法律主张而达成的争议性协议的持续担忧所破坏后进行的。

两名共和党持不同意见的参议员，得克萨斯州的约翰·科宁和北卡罗来纳州的汤姆·蒂利斯，曾威胁要在委员会阶段投票反对这位代理司法部长——这可能会扼杀他的提名——除非获得书面保证，确保司法部不会推进协议的部分内容，包括其拟议的18亿美元基金，用于那些声称自己是政治化起诉受害者的人。

两位参议员周二表示，布兰奇已通过周日晚些时候发布的一对书面声明缓解了他们的担忧，这些声明声称对协议施加了限制，而布兰奇此前一直拒绝采取这一步骤。

在科宁投下支持布兰奇的票时，他似乎承认了对这些书面承诺的主要批评：即它们未经特朗普的法律团队签署，可能会被总统撤销。

最终，科宁表示，为一个自特朗普四个月前解雇司法部长帕姆·邦迪以来一直没有常任领导的司法部带来稳定，影响了他投票支持这位提名人的决定。

“我们需要司法部有一个稳定的力量，布兰奇先生值得有机会提供这一点，”他说。

佛蒙特州民主党参议员彼得·韦尔奇在与委员会其他民主党人一起投票反对这位提名人之前提出了一个相关论点：拒绝布兰奇——他在职业生涯早期曾担任联邦检察官，拥有相当丰富的经验——可能会促使特朗普提名一位资质较差的人选。

机构诈骗退伍军人事务部

涉案金额达3亿美元， 调查结果揭露

作者：克雷格·惠特洛克 安德鲁·巴·陈

根据《华盛顿邮报》的一项调查，以退伍军人为招生对象的营利性职业学校通过《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）骗取联邦政府超过3亿美元，手段通常是收取高昂学费，提供仅持续数天或数周的基础课程。

在新罕布什尔州，一所“生态草坪护理学院”在最多5天的课程中教退伍军人如何种植草坪。该校通常向退伍军人事务部（VA）收取每名学生14,900美元的费用，是未享受GI Bill资助的平民学费的三倍以上。联邦政府在该校接受调查并关闭前已支付超过200万美元，根据《信息自由法》获取的记录显示。

环孢子虫病追踪至切碎的冰山生菜

美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）正将已知规模最大的环孢子虫病疫情扩大至15个州，新增六个州的病例与来自墨西哥中部的切碎冰山生菜有关。三名知情人士透露了这一调查进展。密苏里州卫生部门发言人表示，该州报告的病例数达1,095例，是新增州之一。过去一周，该州病例数激增。2名患者在接受州和地方调查人员详细访谈时表示，他们在发病前食用了塔可钟（Taco Bell）。发言人丽莎·考克斯（Lisa Cox）称，其他州包括阿肯色州、艾奥瓦州、内布拉斯加州、新罕布什尔州和北卡罗来纳州，第四名知情人士证实了这一信息。

上述人士要求匿名以讨论正在进行的调查。CDC尚未立即回应置评请求。调查仍在持续，州数可能会有变化。

此次扩大标志着疫情显著扩散。周一，密歇根州卫生官员宣布，该州已有2人在疫情中死亡，这是美国首次确认与这种微小寄生虫相关的死亡病例。两名死者均患有可能因肠道疾病加重的基础疾病。

在得克萨斯州，一名贫困的高中辍学生开办了一所“新兵训练营”，声称能在仅6周内将新手培训成暖通空调技师。学费和杂费约为$20,000。三年内，该校通过《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）招收了3,500多名退伍军人，获利$72百万。法庭记录显示，校主购买了兰博基尼、法拉利和宾利，并在脱衣舞俱乐部消费近$200,000，后被捕并定罪。

在校主的审判中，多名退伍军人描述这所训练营是一场草率的骗局，以空洞的高薪职业承诺欺骗了他们。

“我感觉被骗了，”一名退伍军人在作证时表示。

给海地人戴上电子监控设备并予以释放。这位要求匿名讨论美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）内部行动的官员预计，这些报到将分批次安排。美国最高法院于1990年裁定，特朗普政府可以终止约350,000名海地人的临时保护身份，尽管加勒比海国家仍面临持续的政治动荡和帮派暴力。国土安全部上周通知雇主，已正式终止海地人的临时保护身份，引发大规模裁员和混乱，因为此前阻止政府终止该计划的下级法院尚未解除维持临时保护福利的命令。国会于1990年设立临时保护身份，以保护在美国的移民免于被遣返回陷入武装冲突、自然灾害或其他特殊危机的国家，允许他们在美国合法工作最长18个月。该计划申请者不得有严重犯罪记录，且必须缴纳费用并通过背景调查。国土安全部可以延长保护期限——且已多次为多个国家延长。倡导者和移民律师表示，俄亥俄州的新一轮逮捕反映了ICE更为低调地执行唐纳德·特朗普总统的驱逐计划。与国土安全部在明尼阿波利斯和芝加哥开展的大规模行动不同，该机构目前专注于在交通拦截和ICE报到后进行逮捕。7月逮捕人数显著上升。

“与在斯普林菲尔德某个社区动用军事化部队、让社区能够组织起来抗议不同，这种做法是将人们召集到一个非常安全的设施内，”加州倡导组织海地桥梁联盟的资深律师埃里克·克鲁说，“是的，人们可以在外面抗议，但有时人们进去后再也出不来，被送往某个偏远的拘留中心，很可能在南部地区，并从那里被遣送出境。”

国土安全部发言人表示，该机构不会讨论“正在进行或未来的”行动，但每天都在执法。“临时保护身份顾名思义——是临时的。长期以来，尽管国会从未打算将其作为永久性计划，TPS却被允许作为事实上的大赦项目运作，”国土安全部在声明中表示，“我们现在要说的是，关门时间到了，这意味着你不必回家，但也不能留在这里。”

许多近日被戴上电子脚镣的海地人仍有未决的庇护申请，且没有最终的驱逐令，他们的律师表示。历史上，该机构曾根据个案情况部署这种磨损的设备，但移民律师卡罗琳·马克斯、

菲尔伯特·维奥德在美国生活了五年，离开位于蓝灰的国土安全部外勤办公室时，脚踝上戴着电子监控设备。

“过去，[脚踝监控器]一直用于有犯罪记录、错过庭审或递解令的人。但这些人一直以来都在遵守法律。”

移民律师卡罗琳·马克斯

周日陪同两名海地客户前往移民与海关执法局（ICE）预约时表示，现在脚踝监控器的使用范围更广了。“过去，它们一直用于有犯罪记录、错过庭审或递解令的人，”马克斯说。“但这些人一直以来都在遵守法律。”

特朗普长期以来一直表示，他计划将海地移民作为大规模递解行动的一部分。在竞选期间，他曾虚假声称俄亥俄州斯普林菲尔德的海地居民正在杀害并食用邻居的宠物。最高法院裁决宣布后，白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒告诉记者，海地人和其他享有临时保护身份（TPS）的人一旦失去这一福利，就应被拘留并递解。

康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲和马里兰州民主党参议员克里斯·范·霍伦在周一与记者的电话会议中批评了特朗普政府终止TPS的努力。两位参议员表示，取消TPS不仅将家庭置于危险之中，还将数千名急需的劳动力排除在劳动力市场之外。

“这是美国的耻辱，”墨菲说。“对于来自海地、也门、委内瑞拉和叙利亚等地的TPS持有者来说，没有安全的地方可以返回。实际上，我刚刚提到的这些地方，局势并未稳定或好转，而是正在恶化。”

凯蒂·克什是“基本法律平等倡导者”（一家位于俄亥俄州的非营利组织）的管理律师，该组织为该地区的海地移民提供法律代理。她表示，ICE官员在周末的报到过程中要求人们提供生平信息并采集指纹。她和其他律师表示，ICE官员鼓励移民自愿离境，并提到国土安全部（DHS）为选择自行离境的人提供$2,600的经济激励。克什说，她的一位客户是一名60多岁的女性，可能会因旅行限制而错过在印第安纳州的外孙出生。她患有糖尿病，担心脚踝监控器绑得太紧会引起疼痛。她询问是否有替代方案（ICE有时会提供），但未获提供。

“ICE正在制造便于拘留他们的情境，”克什说。维莱斯·多桑维尔在俄亥俄州斯普林菲尔德经营海地支持中心，他站在辛辛那提附近的ICE办公室外，人们前来报到。他说，他问ICE官员是否有必要使用这些设备，并被告知“命令来自上级”，指的是DHS部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）。

DHS上周在网上声明，海地人的临时保护身份“已于2026年7月27日生效终止”。但律师表示，TPS在最高法院裁决被下级法院执行并正式允许特朗普政府终止该计划之前，无法正式结束。该计划最初是为应对2010年海地毁灭性地震而设立的。DHS发言人对此表示异议，称“这些激进的下级法院法官公然违抗最高法院的裁决，但最终结果将是一样的。持有TPS的海地人无法也不会被允许留下。”

杰西卡·班萨尔是“全国日间劳工组织网络”专注于TPS诉讼的律师，她表示，“从所有实际意图和目的来看，保护已不复存在。”休斯敦移民律师鲁比·鲍尔斯曾代理来自

委内瑞拉移民在政府取消其临时保护身份（TPS）后失去保护，一位移民律师表示，脚踝监控器和更频繁的移民与海关执法局（ICE）检查是政府向这些人施压，迫使其离开的手段。她说：“这是政府在传递信号：‘我们知道你在哪里，我们正在密切监视你，我们随时有能力拘留你。’”移民律师马克斯（Marks）表示，无论接下来发生什么，都将改变她所在的社区。“这对斯普林菲尔德来说将是一个非常不稳定的事件。”她说。

华盛顿州一起火灾纵火案嫌疑人被起诉

其他2起火灾起因仍在调查中

华盛顿州斯波坎警方已逮捕一名与该地区3起重大野火之一的“老小径火灾”相关的嫌疑人。 嫌疑人37岁的亚伦·F·法里纳奇被控一级纵火罪。 斯波坎县警长约翰·诺韦尔斯表示，一名目击者在火灾起火点附近驾车时，看到一名男子站在路边朝树林张望。随后，10分钟后，这名目击者看到该男子在草地附近“弯腰”，起身后看起来“非常紧张”。回到家后，目击者看到同一区域冒出浓烟，随即报警，诺韦尔斯在周一晚间的新闻发布会上表示。 诺韦尔斯称，法里纳奇被拘留时，身上发现防水火柴和丁烷打火机。 诺韦尔斯表示，嫌疑人曾于2012年在亚利桑那州被判过误杀罪。警方称，2010,10月，法里纳奇……

别无选择，一家人乘船逃至斯波坎湖中央

周六对米凯拉·海梅及其家人来说本是个欢庆的日子。 她和14名家人聚集在父母位于华盛顿州斯波坎西北部的住所，为女儿庆祝12岁生日。然而，到了下午，海梅收到短信警告，称她所在的“五里草原”社区已发布疏散令，野火正肆虐斯波坎县。 她的爱犬“希望”还留在家中。海梅和丈夫试图赶回家救出宠物，但道路已被封锁。一位朋友救出了小狗，海梅返回位于斯波坎湖畔的父母家，原以为那里会安全。 然而，到了傍晚，湖边又燃起大火，警方敦促他们撤离。 海梅说，晚上7点，道路上挤满了其他疏散者。于是，一家人抓起相册等贵重物品和一只猫，登上2艘船。 他们朝斯波坎湖中央驶去，两岸房屋在“烟花般的爆炸声”中燃烧。 数小时里，他们眼看着附近漆黑的山丘被火光吞噬，消防员挨家挨户抢救房屋。 “太不真实了，”海梅说，“眼睁睁看着这片美丽的土地被烧毁，这些湖畔豪宅化为灰烬。”

周一，警方逮捕了37岁的亚伦·F·法里纳奇，并以一级纵火罪起诉其与“老小径火灾”有关，这是3起火灾中的第一起。其他2起火灾的起因仍在调查中，斯波坎县警长办公室在一份声明中表示。 海梅及其家人在船上一直待到午夜过后……

据美联社当时报道，一名男子在与父亲因洗碗问题发生争执后，开枪打死父亲，随后自杀。根据马里科帕县法院记录，他最初被控一级谋杀罪，但最终认罪减刑至过失杀人罪和严重袭击罪。他于2012年至2020年服刑，记录显示他于2024年被解除缓刑。

老小径大火于周六下午首次被报告。截至周一，该地区已发生三起毁灭性火灾，烧毁了约700座建筑物。当局表示，约65,000人——占该县人口的10%以上、20,——已被下令疏散。

她说，当晚她和孩子们一直留在船上。风向改变后，她和孩子们前往一处小屋。她的父亲则留在水上，守护他们的财物。

自5月以来，太平洋西北地区一直处于干旱状态，面临炎热干燥的天气。6月，约11,000人因斯波坎东北部的火灾被下达疏散令。

该地区另外两起野火——秋叶巷和费尔维尤的起因仍在调查中。

斯波坎综合火灾事件管理团队在最新事件更新中表示，自周六以来，该地区所有火灾已烧毁超过8,026英亩土地，火势控制率为零。

自5月以来，太平洋西北地区一直处于干旱状态，州长鲍勃·弗格森（民主党）周六宣布全州进入紧急状态，原因是干旱条件、异常高温和强风加剧了火灾风险。

但火灾情况在周末迅速恶化，尤其是周六，风暴预测中心称华盛顿州东南部和俄勒冈州北部面临“极度危险”的野火风险。

老小径大火于周六下午在斯波坎以西被报告。当晚，火势越过斯波坎河，烧入城区。

援引斯波坎市长的话，他称这些火灾“可能是斯波坎历史上最严重的自然灾害”。

自周一以来，太平洋西北地区的火灾天气条件已有所改善，这应有助于消防员取得进展。由于缺乏大型高压或低压系统，风力有所减弱。但缺乏大型风暴系统也意味着没有降雨，该地区仍然炎热干燥。

哥伦比亚河流域大部分地区仍处于高温预警状态，高温将导致植被中残留的水分进一步蒸发。这进一步加剧了地——

俄勒冈州西部仍处于火灾天气预警状态。

与此同时，太平洋西北地区的空气质量极差。华盛顿州、俄勒冈州和爱达荷州大部分地区已发布空气质量警报。俄勒冈州环境质量官员已警告当地居民，如烟雾条件持续，应限制户外活动。

烟雾问题将在整个华盛顿州和俄勒冈州持续至周三，届时一股微弱的西风将把最严重的烟雾向东推至爱达荷州边境。

当他们驾车经过时，能感受到热浪扑面而来。她意识到，之前听到的爆裂声，正是火焰吞噬邻居房屋的声音。

“我每天都走这条印第安小道，”布兰特利说，“看到这栋我们每天都会经过的房子完全消失，他们的车也没了，真的很诡异。”

周一，斯波坎北部大片区域仍处于三级疏散令下，根据追踪野火的平台Watch Duty数据，其中两场火灾的控制率为零。

预计从周三开始，气温将升至接近100华氏度（约37.8摄氏度）的高位，湿度水平预计将保持低位。

州政府官员已为六个县和三个部落民族申请联邦援助，包括搜救支持。弗格森周一表示，联邦紧急事务管理署（FEMA）尚未批准该请求，但已开始向该州调配资源，以备批准后使用。

在小木屋度过一夜后，海梅带着孩子前往爱达荷州。周一，她的房子仍处于疏散令下，火势仍威胁着她父母在斯波坎湖畔的家。更多亲戚也前往爱达荷州与她会合。但海梅说，她的父亲留在了自家房子里，手持水管，决心守护家园。她还提到，父亲有船，以防需要另一条逃生路线。

众议院委员会将调查米勒的虐待指控

作者：玛丽安娜·阿尔法罗 及 艾米·B·王

众议院道德委员会 周二宣布，正在调查 有关俄亥俄州共和党众议员 马克斯·米勒（Max Miller）涉嫌 家庭暴力和非法吸毒的指控， 此前米勒的前妻指控他 对她及他们2岁的女儿实施了身体虐待。

在委员会宣布之前， 米勒表示他将主动提交 文件，以启动对其自身行为的 道德调查。目前尚不清楚 米勒的声明是否触发了调查， 或调查是否已在进行中。

“我将自行提交 文件，要求对自己进行道德调查， 以洗清这些对我及家人可怕的攻击，” 米勒在X平台上写道。 “我绝对没有什么可隐瞒的。 我们将向委员会提供所有 必要文件，以供详细审查。”

周二，道德委员会在一份声明中表示， 正在调查相关指控，但强调 “调查本身并不意味着任何 [违反众议院规则]的行为已经发生”。 该委员会由数量相等的 民主党人和共和党人组成。

米勒的前妻埃米莉·莫雷诺 指控这位国会议员对她及他们 2岁的女儿实施了身体伤害。 米勒长期否认这些指控。

自2023年以来一直担任众议员的米勒 表示，他不会退出连任竞选。 周二，他表示期待 众议院同僚审查他的案件。

目前尚不清楚米勒是否 已经提交了文件，以及如果提交了， 是否提交给了众议院道德委员会 或国会行为办公室（一个无党派监督机构）。 如果是前者，道德委员会 将无法在众议院8月休会结束前 投票启动正式调查。

在周二与CNN记者杰克·塔珀 进行的激烈采访中，米勒透露， 唐纳德·特朗普总统周一早上 给他打电话，并告诉他， 如果不退出连任竞选， “竞选将会非常艰难”。

“他（特朗普）说，‘我不确定 你能否挺过这一关，’” 米勒转述了总统的话。

但米勒表示，他拥有 “与2016年特朗普相同的韧性”， 当时特朗普在面对多项 性行为不端指控后， 拒绝退出总统竞选。

“我将在11月取得成功，” 米勒说，并补充称没有人—— 包括众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（共和党-路易斯安那州）—— 要求他退出选举。

在CNN的采访中，米勒坚称 不会退出公众生活，因为 他不希望女儿认为他是 “一个轻易放弃的人”。

米勒邀请众议院道德委员会 调查他，并援引执法部门 对其前妻部分指控的审查结果。

“我已经接受过调查了，” 他说，“我很乐意再次接受调查。”

米勒不适合担任国会议员。民主党人也呼吁这位议员退出连任竞选。

米勒与艾米丽·莫雷诺于2022年8月结婚，2023年11月生下女儿，2025年6月离婚。

在法庭文件中，艾米丽·莫雷诺称，在她计划离开米勒的当天，米勒将刚煮好的鸡蛋锅中的热水泼向她。她说这导致她摔倒在地，随后米勒用水槽软管向她喷水。

在周日发布的一段长时间直播视频中，米勒将这一事件称为“玩闹”。

“我用连接在厨房水槽水龙头上的喷水器向她喷水，这种水不会达到沸腾或烫伤的温度，”米勒说。

艾米丽·莫雷诺还指控米勒伤害他们2岁的女儿。今年2月，女儿锁骨骨折，并出现“一处与伤害相伴的瘀伤，看起来像是手印，似乎是被人为造成的”，警方报告显示。报告称莫雷诺告诉警方，这位国会议员曾用枪指着她的头，并在女儿面前对她实施身体虐待。

米勒声称其前妻捏造指控，因为她患有精神疾病，莫雷诺的律师此前已否认这一说法。米勒还指控她家暴，但法官上周正式驳回了米勒对莫雷诺的诉讼。

米勒和莫雷诺已互相申请限制令。周四，莫雷诺代表其律师申请了针对米勒的新限制令，指控这位国会议员在庭审期间抓伤了她的一名律师。

伯尼·莫雷诺此前一周未公开评论针对米勒的指控，周日称其前女婿“是个危险人物”，并表示无法再对这件事保持沉默。

“眼睁睁看着这一切在公众面前上演，同时知道一个无辜的2岁女孩被卷入其中，这太可怕了，”这位参议员在X上写道。

这位参议员周二表示，在周日交接孙女监护权时，米勒拒绝交出她最喜欢的蓝色毛绒兔子。

“这简直是地狱第七层……我女儿对这个男人生活在持续的恐惧中，不是那种存在性的恐惧，而是发自内心的恐惧，她

伯尼·莫雷诺表示：“这家伙能干出什么事来，谁也说不准。”

周二，埃米莉·莫雷诺的律师指控米勒在其团队周日直播后，将一批文件发布到一个公开访问的Dropbox账户，其中包含泄露这对夫妇女儿的敏感照片。米勒在直播中称，他发布这些文件是为了证明莫雷诺提出了虚假指控。

周二，米勒的律师亚伦·明克在一份声明中承担了发布幼儿照片的责任。明克表示，他“不幸”遗漏了包含敏感图片的文件的最后三页。

周二晚些时候，莫雷诺请求法院裁定米勒藐视法庭，因其未遵守双方的共同育儿计划，并称发布这些文件侵犯了孩子的隐私，相当于米勒将孩子用于政治目的。

此外，米勒的前女友、前白宫新闻秘书斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆周一申请了针对他的临时禁制令。

格里沙姆在2021年《华盛顿邮报》的一篇专栏文章中指控一名前伴侣在白宫工作期间对她施暴。虽然格里沙姆在文章中未点名米勒，但米勒在文章发表数小时后便起诉她，指控其发表“诽谤和诋毁性言论”。格里沙姆后来确认该伴侣即为米勒。

在周一的申请文件中，格里沙姆要求米勒删除其近期在X平台上发布的指控她捏造针对他的指控的帖子。据格里沙姆的律师马克·扎伊德称，米勒必须在8月17日前对其请求作出回应。

部分人工智能系统或可免于安全审查流程

作者：伊恩·邓肯

白宫周二告知顶级科技公司，将豁免特定人工智能系统接受政府对新AI模型的审查计划，为被称为“开放权重”的免费工具提供通行证，并将审查重点放在美国领先公司（如OpenAI和Anthropic）的最新技术上。

白宫向企业介绍了根据唐纳德·特朗普总统6月签署的行政令制定的自愿政府审查框架，旨在评估新AI模型的潜在网络安全风险。该政策旨在让政府提前采取措施，保护其计算机网络及银行、医疗等关键行业免受新AI能力的威胁。

两名要求匿名描述私下简报会的人士透露了计划将开放权重模型排除在审查之外的决定。

SpaceX首次公开募股后发布亏损5.41亿美元的财报

SpaceX在6月首次公开募股后发布的首份季度收益报告中报告亏损超过500万美元，这家由埃隆·马斯克领导的公司在新兴太空经济领域雄心勃勃，亏损仍在持续。该公司股票周二早些时候曾出现反弹，截至下午晚些时候上涨超过10%。这是数周以来该股表现低迷的首个积极信号，该股在创纪录的首秀后曾一度飙升，

但随后迅速下跌，从历史高点回落约一半，投资者在消化这家公司的财务状况和发展规划——该公司表示计划在太空建立数据中心并建立火星殖民地。SpaceX表示，本季度亏损5.41亿美元，较去年同期的10亿美元亏损有所改善。在财报电话会议上，该公司强调其78亿美元的收入，几乎是去年同期的两倍，这主要得益于其基于卫星的互联网服务Starlink。

“这一自愿框架通过加强国家安全和巩固美国人工智能领导地位，推进了特朗普政府‘美国优先’的网络安全战略，”白宫发言人利兹·休斯顿在一封电子邮件声明中表示。“选择通过这一框架与政府合作的公司将把美国创新、安全和网络防御放在首位。”

该框架在经历数月不确定性后于近日敲定，特朗普政府官员急于应对最新一代人工智能模型带来的计算机黑客风险，这些模型能够迅速识别软件中的新型安全漏洞。6月，官员们利用出口管制措施，迫使聊天机器人Claude的制造商Anthropic将其新旗舰人工智能模型下线。竞争对手人工智能开发商OpenAI也被迫限制发布其新系统。（《华盛顿邮报》与OpenAI有内容合作关系。）

对OpenAI和Anthropic的限制被视为美国人工智能行业的领军者，但这些限制持续时间不长。不过，它们引发了对快速发展的行业能否继续迅速推出能力日益增强的产品的质疑。白宫关于哪些科技公司

得益于其卫星互联网服务Starlink。该公司在6月以每股135美元的价格发行股票后筹集了75亿美元资金，其股票开始以每股150美元的价格交易。在上市前，SpaceX曾披露其亏损记录，包括自2023年初以来亏损130亿美元。周二的业绩延续了这一趋势，但似乎部分抵消了损失，此前2026年第一季度亏损近43亿美元。截至周二的结果，SpaceX自

周二的简报会旨在提供一定的明确性。但决定不公开发布这一信息引发了对审查过程透明度的质疑。

“请记住这个项目的作用：它让政府能够提前接触尖端工具，并有可能否决我们其他人是否能使用这些工具，”智库“丰盛研究所”人工智能政策主管尼尔·奇尔森在X平台上写道。

“在秘密状态下管理可能是我们这个时代最重要的技术，这不是民主国家的治理方式，”奇尔森说道。

特朗普去年重返办公室，获得了科技行业部分群体的公开支持，并迅速开始拆除拜登时期的人工智能监管规则，以加快创新步伐。这一做法在4月发生转变，当时Anthropic公司宣布开发出一款名为Mythos的新模型，称其因在计算机黑客攻击方面的强大能力而过于危险，不宜公开发布。

此次宣布最终促成特朗普签署行政令，要求对新型高能力人工智能模型的安全影响进行自愿性政府审查。政府周二向科技公司简报的审查框架要求对强大的新型人工智能模型进行有限审查，允许政府提前最多30天获取模型。根据该行政令，用于确定哪些模型需接受额外审查的门槛将被列为机密。

行政令将这一过程描述为自愿性质，但专家表示，在政府已展示出愿意对美国人工智能公司实施出口管制后，任何公司都难以选择退出。一些议员对政府的做法提出质疑。周二，一群民主党参议员致信特朗普政府官员，称当前做法既可能削弱美国人工智能公司的竞争力，助长中国优势，又无法充分应对安全风险。他们呼吁白宫与国会合作，制定一套更“可预测”的规则。

“明确的标准将通过维护我们的目标来增强——而非削弱——国家安全。”

截至2026年初，SpaceX的亏损总额已超过$4.8亿。SpaceX的亏损主要由其通过xAI对人工智能的投资驱动。xAI是马斯克创立的初创公司，旨在与其他领先的大型语言模型聊天机器人制造商竞争，最终被并入这家火箭公司。

马斯克曾在过去做出过过于乐观的预测，他曾表示，如果SpaceX实现某些目标，其价值将“超过地球”。

然而，分析人士对SpaceX的短期发展路线图持谨慎态度。该公司面临即将到期的锁定期，在此期间，以低价获得股份的投资者将被允许在市场对其股份估值溢价的情况下出售持股。业绩公布后，该公司股价在盘后交易中下跌，并在随后的财报电话会议中进一步下挫。马斯克在会上称这是“里程碑式的一年”，但未能完全消除投资者的担忧——

参议员们写道：“在建立和使用可信的美国模型的同时，允许政府在出现真正风险时迅速采取行动。”

自特朗普签署行政令推动建立审查人工智能模型的新框架以来，如何评估其安全性的问题变得更加紧迫。

上个月，Anthropic和OpenAI均披露了内部测试系统意外流入公开互联网并入侵其他公司的事件。这些事件表明，专家长期以来对人工智能失控的担忧已成为现实，即使这些系统本应与公众隔离。

白宫简报会数小时后，英国政府人工智能安全专家表示，他们已发现Anthropic和OpenAI系统出现“持续且可能对真实人员造成伤害的活动”的新案例。该机构描述了一起人工智能代理试图诱骗人类在软件项目中插入恶意代码的行为。

格里特·德·温克（Gerrit De Vynck）为本报告提供了支持。

对SpaceX资本支出水平的担忧。 Futurum首席市场策略师谢伊·博卢尔（Shay Boloor）表示，Starlink的成功是SpaceX的一大亮点。“对投资者而言，最明显的缓冲仍是Starlink，”他指出，连接业务的收入和营业利润等数据即为例证。他表示，SpaceX现有的现金和融资来源意味着其人工智能投入“不是出于财务弱势”。

特朗普基金问题僵局后，布兰奇提名获推进

布兰奇相关报道见A1版

“这个腐败的总统会找到另一个托德·布兰奇，”韦尔奇说道。委员会周二的投票为参议院全体表决布兰奇的任命扫清了道路，最终投票可能最早于本周举行。由于民主党一致反对，且参议员米奇·麦康奈尔（共和党-肯塔基州）因跌倒后仍在康复中缺席，布兰奇在参议院全体表决中最多只能失去两张共和党票。多名共和党议员尚未承诺支持。尽管司法委员会的共和党人一致支持布兰奇，但周二的听证会揭示了共和党议员与特朗普政府之间在司法部过去一年半发展方向上的新分歧。

参议员查克·格拉斯利（爱荷华州）——司法委员会主席、特朗普的忠实支持者，称赞布兰奇是“典范提名人”——仍然称白宫和司法部花费如此长时间才回应科宁和蒂利斯对特朗普国税局协议的担忧是“犯罪”。他还表示，他与这两位参议员有着相同的担忧。蒂利斯批评司法部起诉前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·B·科米，这是司法部在特朗普敦促下对其所认为的政治对手提起的最新案件。科米今年因在社交媒体上发布一张将贝壳排列成“86 47”字样的照片而被起诉，检方指控这是对总统生命的隐晦威胁——前联邦调查局局长对此予以否认。特朗普是第47任总统，而“86”通常意味着“除掉”某物。

“北卡罗来纳州的某个蠢货认为这是犯罪，”蒂利斯周二说道，“那么，他们最好有确凿的信息来支持这一点，因为如果只是一张照片，这个人就该丢掉饭碗。”这位参议员还补充道，他希望布兰奇能“扭转这种荒谬局面”。

科宁称赞布兰奇愿意回应关于国税局协议的问题，并恳请提名人在“必要时”利用他作为特朗普私人律师所建立的信任。

“@POTUS需要这样的人担任这一职务：拥有强大的法律头脑，同时与他足够亲近，能够提供机密的法律建议，并告诉他一些难以接受的真相，”科宁在听证会后发帖称，“我会建议布兰奇先生在必要时不要害怕利用这种来之不易的信任，为了国家利益。”

民主党人周二坚称，布兰奇在每一步都表现出无能——或不愿——这样做。他们指出，在布兰奇短暂而动荡的任期内，他监督了司法部人员的流失，并为特朗普侵蚀司法部传统独立性的努力辩护。他们指控布兰奇利用司法部资源为总统谋取私利，追究其政治恩怨，并精心策划结束国税局诉讼，以达成旨在让特朗普及其盟友个人受益、却损害

美国纳税人。”参议员亚当·希夫（加利福尼亚州民主党人）表示，“托德·布兰奇的根本问题不在于他缺乏经验、能力或智慧。确认托德·布兰奇的问题在于，他始终无法摆脱自己作为唐纳德·特朗普刑事辩护律师的角色。他做不到这一点。他不代表美国人民……他只会做对唐纳德·特朗普最有利的事。”参议院司法委员会的表决预计将是布兰奇提名过程中面临的主要障碍。包括阿拉斯加州的丽莎·穆尔科斯基、缅因州的苏珊·柯林斯和路易斯安那州的比尔·卡西迪在内的多名共和党参议员尚未承诺支持确认其提名，三人均于周二拒绝透露投票倾向。然而，许多共和党议员表示，他们对蒂利斯和科宁从布兰奇处获得的让步感到放心。

除了书面承诺取消近1.8亿美元的赔偿基金外，布兰奇还澄清了特朗普协议的另一项内容，即保护总统本人、其子女及其企业免受以往税务索赔的影响。布兰奇周日表示，这些保护措施“仅具追溯效力”，不会阻止美国国税局对特朗普家族未来的审计。仅这些保护措施就可能为这位经常抱怨自己成为美国国税局反复审计目标的总统提供异常丰厚的利益。

在本周晚些时候预计举行的确认表决前，民主党人希望能就该协议的税务保护条款及赔偿基金可能死灰复燃的可能性激起足够的担忧，从而阻止布兰奇的提名——尤其是在特朗普继续表达对补偿那些他认为在拜登和奥巴马政府时期遭到不公正起诉的人（如参与2021年1月6日袭击美国国会大厦的被定罪被告）的支持之际。

罗德岛州民主党参议员谢尔顿·怀特豪斯将布兰奇本周早些时候向科宁和蒂利斯提供的书面保证描述为实际上毫无意义。“这些文件中留有足够的模糊空间，可以开进一辆卡车，”他说道。

特朗普倒影池破坏案的崩溃

相关报道见A1版

及时完成。特朗普在社交媒体上抨击皮罗，并在周六的一次电话中向她传达了“非常尖锐”的信息，一名白宫官员透露。周一，他在椭圆形办公室再次批评她，称她“像雨伞一样折叠了”。倒影池项目原本旨在展示特朗普快速办事的能力，却在其第二任期内成为一道绊脚石。该项目问题频发的推出，正值特朗普推进更大、更复杂的项目之际，这些项目将重塑华盛顿的天际线，包括一座新的白宫舞厅和一座高达250英尺的凯旋门。倒影池于7月10日再次排空进行维修。政府记录“强烈表明，主要承包商AIC仓促且拙劣的安装”导致了池内新衬垫的可见损坏，皮罗及其一名副手在周五的文件中写道。皮罗指责内政部隐瞒了本可能推翻调查的相关文件。

倒影池的问题曾在白宫内引发特朗普的怒火，而总统不久后又因另一个原因感到愤怒：皮罗在撤销指控前未向白宫通气，一名白宫官员透露。总统周六与她通电话讨论了这一决定，该通话最先由CNN报道。特朗普还在社交媒体上公开表达对皮罗的不满，称自己“100%”不同意她的决定，并再次坚称破坏者应受责备。内政部长道格·伯格姆也附和称，破坏者“多次”损坏现场，并声称这些行为被监控拍下，坚称其机构已向司法部律师提供了100%的信息。白宫和内政部拒绝进一步置评，仅引用了特朗普和伯格姆的发言。承包商大西洋工业涂料公司未回应多次置评请求。

数周来，外界观察人士一直对大规模破坏的说法不以为然。《华盛顿邮报》对卫星图像及6月翻修期间拍摄的照片和视频进行分析后得出结论，认为水池的剥落可能是由施工错误造成。审查证据的防水专家也得出了相同结论。政府曾公开否认涂层施工不当，但周一，特朗普承认对承包商的工作有些不满。“我并不是说我对承包商100%满意，但承包商确实在赶工，”他在椭圆形办公室表示，并指出工人有10天的紧张工期。他最尖锐的批评则留给了皮罗。“我猜她怯场了。我也不知道到底发生了什么，”他说道。

皮罗曾是福克斯新闻主持人，在加入特朗普政府前一直是总统的坚定捍卫者。在现任职位上，她曾多次追查涉及特朗普政治对手的不当行为指控，但屡屡在法庭上受挫，包括去年试图起诉一名因向联邦特工扔三明治而被控轻罪袭击的华盛顿男子，但未能成功。检方撤销赫恩案的20页文件非同寻常，不仅因为它与特朗普和皮罗此前关于指控的公开表态相矛盾，还因为它详细列出了内政部文件中显示的衬垫安装问题，以及检方如何感到被欺骗。皮罗在与美国联邦检察官办公室负责高等法院案件的部门主管迈克尔·斯宾塞（负责处理100起案件）交谈后，审阅并签署了该动议，

根据知情人士透露，这些人要求匿名以讨论内部审议过程。赫恩的律师诺姆·艾森表示，他不接受司法部未能掌握证明赫恩无罪的证据这一说法。艾森援引公开的照片和报告称，损坏可能源于承包商的错误。“珍妮·皮罗及其办公室被内政部‘忽悠’的说法不可信，”艾森说。这一描述基于对司法部、内政部和白宫官员的采访，以及特朗普政府在倒影池法律诉讼中披露的公开声明和文件。部分知情人士因未获授权公开讨论相关事宜而要求匿名。

汤姆·布伦纳 / 《华盛顿邮报》摄 本应成为唐纳德·特朗普总统快速办事能力展示窗口的倒影池项目，却在其第二任期内成为一道绊脚石。

特朗普今年早些时候决定翻新这座已有百年历史的池塘，称朋友们批评这处历史遗迹的外观和气味。“不断有人向我抱怨说它不够好，”特朗普告诉记者，“我给道格[·伯格姆]打了电话，他也同意。”该池塘上一次重大翻修始于奥巴马政府时期，历时数年，耗资$34 million。特朗普认为自己能以更快的速度和更低的成本完成。总统还相信他能亲自推动这一项目，并已改变了白宫与国家公园管理局工作人员之间的关系。特朗普拆除了白宫东翼，以建造一座规划中的90,000平方英尺的宴会厅，开始在阿灵顿国家公墓附近规划一座凯旋门，并设想在联邦公园用地上开展其他重大项目，如翻修多个高尔夫球场。相比之下，池塘项目在他看来简单直接，他曾对盟友如此表示。政府还精简了国家公园管理局一线员工与内政部及白宫高级官员之间的层级。去年国家公园管理局裁员导致该机构员工减少约四分之一，许多资深公园管理局员工离职，使得基层员工与政治任命官员之间缺乏经验丰富的官员。缺乏历史保护经验的官员最终做出了施工决策，而拥有国家广场翻修经验的公园管理局员工则被边缘化。到30日，国家公园管理局在白宫指示下加快推进池塘项目。这些变更包括在池底涂抹新的着色环氧树脂，但由于“别无选择”必须赶在政府设定的时间表内完成，未经通常所需的审查。一名公园管理局官员在3月30日的文件中写道。特朗普于4月23日在椭圆形办公室公布了该项目，当天晚些时候发布了配套宣传视频，并称其为“一项商业研究”。“它看起来会比1922年建成时更美、更漂亮，”特朗普说。他表示，与其花费数年时间和可能数亿美元，他的

伊丽莎白·弗朗茨 / 路透社摄 前美国奥运皮划艇选手戴维·赫恩（中）曾是政府以涉嫌破坏池塘为由提起刑事指控的对象之一。这些指控最近被撤销。

翻修成本将低于 200万美元，耗时不到 两周。但这一成本后来 急剧膨胀。

几乎在宣布的同时，历史 文物保护人士和前政府 官员就警告特朗普行动 过于仓促。查尔斯·A·伯恩鲍姆 是文化景观基金会（一家 专注于历史遗址的教育和 倡导组织）的负责人，他在 特朗普宣布后表示，他不理解 “如此重要的项目怎能 在未测试新材料的情况下 就进行变更”。

“一直以来的理念都是， 先做事，后问问题，” 伯恩鲍姆说， 并提及特朗普在当地的其他 建设项目，如拆除白宫东翼 以建造新宴会厅。伯恩鲍姆的 组织还起诉阻止倒影池项目， 但法官驳回了禁令申请。

倒影池的施工于May 5, 开始，承包商清理了现场， 并开始在池底部分区域喷涂 一种专用保护涂层Rhino 406， 司法部的文件显示。Then on May 6 it rained, forcing workers to pause for a day。

幕后的警示信号很快出现。 “It appears AIC is signifi cant- ly behind schedule,”一名负责监督 AIC进度的承包商员工在 May 7,发给内政部官员的 电子邮件中写道，司法部 的文件显示。

更多延误接踵而至。雨水 反复中断施工，承包商 于May 18,耗尽Rhino 406，被迫再次停工，直到新供应 到货，司法部文件显示。

工程于June 7基本完工， 工人开始重新注水。A fi nal inspec- tion was held June 9,司法部 文件称，倒影池正式开放—— 比原计划晚了一个月，且 成本超出特朗普最初承诺的 1200万美元。

经过清理的倒影池最初 赢得了一些两党赞誉，总统 还在社交媒体上发布了一系列 照片。特朗普还分享了 倒影池看起来脏乱、垃圾遍布的 照片——称这是前任乔·拜登 时期的样子——并与他领导下 “完美”的倒影池进行对比。

“每个人都在看那个倒影池； 他们简直不敢相信它能倒映，” 特朗普次日在椭圆形办公室 说道。“只要我在这里，它就会 保持完美。”

第二天，一名国家公园管理局 工程师得出结论，称倒影池的 新衬里已经开始剥落，并归咎于 承包商错误，司法部周五公布的 文件显示。

不久，路人也注意到了 剥落现象。赫恩告诉《华盛顿邮报》， 当他于June 19,参观倒影池时， 看到一块衬里已经部分从池底 脱落，便伸手入水查看触感。

他很快被美国公园警察 逮捕，并被指控破坏该 遗址。随后又有多人被捕。

这些指控为政府官员 提供了借口，声称倒影池的 问题源于蓄意破坏。但被捕者中 无人被指控特朗普公开 指称的最严重行为—— 使用刀片或化学品损坏衬里。

“They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, com- petence, and money to build and complete. They also poured cor- rosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool,”特朗普在June 20, 在Truth Social上写道，并在 后续帖子中将裂口长度增加至 300英尺，继而350英尺。

弗兰克·兰兹，国家公园管理局

副局长兰兹（vice’s deputy director）在6月24日的另一起联邦案件中也向联邦法官表示，倒影池的泡沫密封剂“被锋利的刀或剃刀割开”。兰兹曾任陆军副驻地指挥官，于2021年加入国家公园管理局，成为在华盛顿执行特朗普政策的核心人物。他拒绝向《华盛顿邮报》发表评论。皮罗的办公室负责哥伦比亚特区的地方和联邦犯罪起诉，她最初将这起所谓的破坏行为描述为对美国共同遗产的攻击。根据法庭记录，她于7月1日前往倒影池视察损坏情况。次日，大陪审团以重罪——财产破坏罪起诉赫恩，这是与倒影池相关的唯一一起重罪破坏指控。皮罗随后在新闻发布会和福克斯新闻采访中称，赫恩“用力且暴力地”用双手拉扯衬垫，并对一名要求他停止的公园管理局员工大喊大叫。她当时对记者表示：“我并没有严厉起诉”，并补充说“损坏非常严重”。

但在美国联邦检察官办公室内部，对内政部官员的不满情绪正在加剧，因为后者尚未提供检方所需的倒影池损坏信息。据司法部的一份文件，检方当时仅掌握一份公园管理局警员逮捕赫恩及其他三名被控轻罪的被告的“简要”警方报告。7月17日，赫恩的辩护团队前往现场勘查时，皮罗再次到访。随着池水排干，检方能更清晰地看到损坏情况，其办公室在法庭文件中称。法庭文件显示，剥落不仅出现在边缘，池中部也有——这些位置破坏者很难触及。皮罗表示，她的办公室立即要求内政部提供有关衬垫安装过程的记录。“这些文件显示，安装过程仓促且存在缺陷，衬垫在安装过程中多次失效，倒影池各处出现大面积剥落”，皮罗办公室在法庭文件中称。记录包括电子邮件和报告，详细记录了衬垫安装缺陷、与降雨相关的延误、起泡和剥落等问题——所有这些在提起指控前均有书面记录。“如果内政部及时提供其明确掌握的信息，政府本不会寻求大陪审团起诉”，文件称。

检方还撤销了对三名面临轻罪指控的被告的起诉。其中一人贾斯汀·卡雷诺（Justin Carreno）因该案失去了政府承包商的工作，并遭受声誉损害，其律师戴维·贝诺维茨（David Benowitz）表示。“这项指控从一开始就不应该被提出”，贝诺维茨说。司法部可能会再次起诉这些案件，但考虑到检方在文件中的结论，这将变得困难。特朗普似乎仍在继续自己的调查。周六，总统在Truth Social上分享了一段监控录像，显示有人将手伸入倒影池。“你们自己看看倒影池发生的破坏行为”，他写道。“材料显然是被刀或美工刀割开的，所有人都能看到！”视频显示有三个人

这些人将手伸入倒影池北侧的水中，但无法确定是否有人持有刀或美工刀。该视频似乎是此前于6月24日由美国国家公园警察局发布的片段的加长版，当时警方呼吁公众协助辨认视频中的一人。警方称视频拍摄于6月19日下午3:36，大约在赫恩被警方接触前一小时。这一事件激怒了国会民主党人，他们已对特朗普的项目展开调查，并表示路人本不应被逮捕，而一些共和党议员则对此感到困惑和不解。

“这几乎是‘劣政’的教科书式定义，”负责监督倒影池所在国家公园的众议院委员会高级民主党成员、加利福尼亚州众议员贾里德·赫夫曼（Jared Huffman）表示。“皮罗现在进退两难——说实话会被解雇，继续撒谎则会被取消律师资格。”

在试图理解这一事件的共和党人中，路易斯安那州参议员约翰·肯尼迪（John Kennedy）表示：“整件事就像36辆车连环相撞。”他在周日NBC的《会见新闻界》节目中谈及特朗普和皮罗的动机时说，“我不明白她为什么在未进行全面调查的情况下提起诉讼。她说自己依赖了内政部的信息，但她撤回诉讼是明智之举。”

政府在法庭文件中表示，倒影池将关闭至8月10日进行进一步翻修。

对《退伍军人权利法案》监管不力导致欺诈和舞弊

《退伍军人权利法案》自A1版

瑞安·迪弗兰科是一名海军陆战队退伍军人，他表示学校的低质量培训导致他失去了三份工作。“这简直是一场萦绕在我脑海中的噩梦。”《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）是美国历史上最受欢迎的福利项目之一。自第二次世界大战末期创立以来，已有超过25 million退伍军人依靠该法案支付大学学费、职业培训及其他福利。一些经济学家认为，《退伍军人权利法案》帮助扩大了美国的中产阶级。军方招募人员将其作为吸引志愿者入伍的关键激励措施。去年，纳税人花费了超过110 亿美元 billion，资助约666,000人通过《退伍军人权利法案》接受教育。在过去的二十年里，国会通过多项法律，使《退伍军人权利法案》更加慷慨和灵活。退伍军人不再必须在离开军队后的几年内使用福利，还可以将福利转让给配偶或子女。

但政府监管不力导致欺诈和舞弊行为滋生，使得逐利性营利性职业学校欺骗了成千上万退伍军人，剥夺了他们本应获得的培训机会，帮助他们开启新的职业生涯，《华盛顿邮报》发现。部分问题在于一个漏洞，该漏洞允许职业学校对短期且往往基础的课程收取高昂费用。《退伍军人权利法案》通常为在大学或职业学校就读的学生提供最多36个月的费用补贴。退伍军人事务部（VA）目前为大多数私立和营利性学校的学费设定了每年最高$30,908的上限。公立机构的上限更低。虽然年度上限旨在防止价格欺诈，但退伍军人事务部并未对课程最短时长设定标准。由于学校直接向退伍军人事务部申报学费，参加昂贵短期课程的退伍军人往往不会密切关注课程的实际成本。

另一个根本性问题是缺乏规范职业学校培训质量的规则。与其他联邦学生资助项目不同，《退伍军人权利法案》不要求职业学校获得学术认证。立法者特别豁免了允许退伍军人参加不授予学位的职业学校、工作学习项目及学徒制的规定。薄弱的监管加上监督不力，使问题更加严重。退伍军人事务部与各州官员签有合同安排，协助批准和监督《退伍军人权利法案》学校——尤其是未获认证的学校——并确保它们遵守现有的少量质量保障标准。许多州机构则缺乏有效监管的资源，退伍军人倡导组织和这些机构本身均表示。由于立法者和退伍军人事务部官员在过去二十年里将注意力集中在迅速增长的、面向退伍军人的在线学院和大学（这些机构因质量问题而受到投诉），职业学校在很大程度上逃脱了审查。职业学校要求学生必须亲自到校上课，规模远小于在线院校。但《华盛顿邮报》发现，它们却占据了《退伍军人权利法案》欺诈案件的相当大比例。

《华盛顿邮报》多次请求采访退伍军人事务部教育服务部执行主任肯尼思·史密斯，以进行此项调查。该部门拒绝了采访请求。针对书面问题清单，退伍军人事务部新闻秘书奎因·斯莱文表示，《华盛顿邮报》发现的在过去十年左右时间里超过$300 million的欺诈损失，“仅占同期退伍军人事务部教育预算的0.3%，这凸显了保护退伍军人和纳税人免受欺诈是退伍军人事务部的首要任务”。与此同时，他将责任归咎于各州

政府则指责各州政府纵容《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）项目中的欺诈行为。斯莱文在一份电子邮件声明中表示：“问题在于，多年来许多州级官僚对欺诈者肆意掠夺政府项目的行为视而不见。”他称，由副总统JD·万斯领导的白宫反欺诈工作组“正以前所未有的速度和力度，根除这些领域及其他领域政府项目中的浪费、滥用和犯罪剥削行为”。为调查GI Bill欺诈的规模，并深入了解学校如何欺骗纳税人和退伍军人，

《华盛顿邮报》根据《信息自由法》（FOIA）向退伍军人事务部（VA）申请获取财务和招生数据库，以及自2020年以来VA监察长办公室开展的调查记录。 政府以隐私豁免为由拒绝了这些请求。但《邮报》提起诉讼，要求强制公开相关材料，并称披露符合公众利益。 经过长达一年的法律诉讼，VA及其监察长办公室最终公布了部分数据库，以及来自20起欺诈调查的逾8,000页文件，这些调查均导致刑事定罪或民事罚款。《邮报》还审阅了逾10,000页联邦法院记录和庭审笔录，并从德克萨斯州、加利福尼亚州、新罕布什尔州、佐治亚州和佛罗里达州的州级机构获取了约1,500页公共记录，这些机构负责监管接受欺诈调查的20所学校中的大多数。 这些调查中政府的总损失超过$300。20起案件中有15起涉及未获认证的职业学校。 这些文件，结合对退伍军人和校方官员的数十次独立采访，首次全面揭露了欺诈的严重程度，并凸显了VA未能解决根本问题的失职。 几乎所有被调查的学校在被查处前多年都违反了VA的规定。多数学校的课程中退伍军人过多、平民过少，或向退伍军人收取更高费用——这均属违法行为。 调查人员发现，密西西比州一所理发学院非法向退伍军人收取的费用是其他学生的10倍。部分学校谎称其已运营多年，以符合GI Bill参与和支付的资格。

数年。在多所职业学校，管理人员有犯罪记录，但多年来未被发现，因为退伍军人事务部（VA）和州机构无需进行背景调查。 一些退伍军人倡导组织表示，VA缺乏足够的工具、专业知识或政治意愿来预防或遏制欺诈行为。 “事实上，该项目的配置存在根本性缺陷，几乎任何事情都能以任何价格进行——问题正在于此，”退伍军人教育成功组织（一个总部位于华盛顿的非营利组织，为《退伍军人权利法案》改进游说）副主席巴尔马克·纳西里安表示。“我一直不解，为什么黑帮还在贩毒和从事有组织犯罪。进入这个行当吧。这钱更好赚。” 《华盛顿邮报》对VA数据的分析显示，未经认证的学校平均比认证学校花费纳税人更多资金：未经认证学校的学费高出30%。2025年，约有59,000人（约占《退伍军人权利法案》学生总数的6%）就读于未经认证的机构。 联邦数据显示，退伍军人向VA投诉未经认证项目的比例几乎是认证项目的五倍。

欺诈的漫长历史 《退伍军人权利法案》旨在防止浪费、欺诈和滥用的规定几十年来基本未变。 盟军在诺曼底登陆两周后，富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统于1952年签署了《军人安置法案》。该法案又称《退伍军人权利法案》，为退伍军人提供教育福利和其他经济援助。 数百万退伍军人从中受益。职业学校行业也是如此。政府记录显示，五年内，美国营利性职业学校的数量增长了两倍。 欺诈行为随之而来。 许多职业学校采用可疑的营销手段。例如，一些电视维修课程提供免费电视机吸引退伍军人上门，然后向VA虚报学费。 到1952年，约有140所学校面临刑事欺诈调查。当时的一份众议院报告得出结论：“毫无疑问，数亿美元被浪费在毫无价值的培训上。” 朝鲜战争期间，随着数百万退伍军人有资格享受《退伍军人权利法案》福利，国会出台规定，旨在确保另一波未经认证的营利性职业学校涌入时的教育质量。 首先，立法者规定，《退伍军人权利法案》的退伍军人在一门课程中的比例不得超过85%，且学校必须对退伍军人和非退伍军人收取相同学费。 其次，未经认证的职业学校必须开业至少两年，才能招收《退伍军人权利法案》下的退伍军人。 这些规定的逻辑在于，如果一所学校有业绩记录——至少有一些平民愿意支付全额学费——那么它可能提供了合格的教育。然而，在实践中，合规在很大程度上依赖于诚信制度。 如今，政府仍允许学校自行报告招生和学费数据。 审计人员应定期走访学校进行合规检查，但必须提前通知。 各州机构（如退伍军人委员会或教育部门，其中许多资源不足）代表VA批准并直接监管《退伍军人权利法案》学校。

根据联邦法律，退伍军人事务部（VA）要求学校在线发布课程目录和日历，并向官员提供“财务稳健性”的证据。但退伍军人教育成功组织副主席纳西里安表示，州监管机构和VA几乎不关注课堂内的实际情况。“只要文书工作正确，教了什么内容、教学质量如何就无人问津。”他说。

2018年，VA监察长办公室的一项审计发现，无论是州政府还是联邦政府，都未建立有效的财务控制机制。审计估计，在未来五年内，VA可能会因“违规”支付高达23亿美元的《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）款项。审计还发现，营利性学校的问题风险“尤其高”。

在给《华盛顿邮报》的声明中，VA新闻发言人斯拉文强调了该部门近期为防范欺诈采取的行动。他表示，VA今年早些时候开发了一款工具，可为学校分配欺诈风险评分。此外，VA教育服务部门成立了“合规、调查与执法处”，以发现欺诈风险并将案件移交监察长办公室。斯拉文称，GI Bill学校的欺诈风险因素包括：招生人数激增、学费快速上涨、投诉量增加、课程完成率低，以及“掠夺性广告和招生行为”。他还表示，VA会对产生严重投诉或数据分析显示存在“严重不合规风险”的学校进行“有针对性的风险审查”。

“VA正以前所未有的力度保护退伍军人和纳税人免受欺诈侵害。”他补充道。

根据VA监察长办公室提供给《华盛顿邮报》的数据，2020年至2024年间，该办公室共启动了64起涉嫌教育欺诈的调查，并将其中47起案件移交司法部进行刑事起诉或民事执法。大多数调查针对的是未获认证的营利性职业学校。然而，现任和前任VA官员表示，他们怀疑这些案件仅占实际欺诈行为的极小部分。他们称，VA教育部门更重视为退伍军人处理支付，而非预防或发现欺诈。

“教育项目中存在大量欺诈行为。”2016年至2025年担任监察长的迈克尔·米萨尔在采访中表示，“我们发现了很多问题。”

现任VA监察长谢丽尔·梅森在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示，欺诈性GI Bill学校的手段“变得更加创新和复杂”。“VA是一大笔资金。所有欺诈者都看到了这一点，”她说，“他们想要窃取VA用于支持退伍军人及其家庭的纳税人资金。”

梅森还指出，未获认证的学校构成特殊问题，因为“缺乏独立审查”且政府监管有限。“要始终保持对它们的监管是一项挑战。”

一场卧底行动 2018年5月，一名退伍军人事务部（VA）雇员惊讶地发现，三年来，政府一直在向位于新罕布什尔州阿默斯特的NTI有机草坪护理学院——一所职业学校——支付每名学生高达$14,900的学费，用于教授退伍军人如何种植草坪。

更令人惊讶的是：该课程仅需四到五天即可完成。

“可能[一名主管]了解这所学校的运作方式，一切都合规，”这名在俄克拉荷马州支付处理中心工作的VA雇员当时在电子邮件中向几位同事表示。“不过，我认为这值得你们审查。”

另一名VA官员在电子邮件中同意，称学费“极其昂贵”，并质疑草坪护理项目是否应被认定为《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）下的职业学校。

这一发现促使VA监察长办公室对这所未经认证的草坪护理学院展开调查。该学院由一对四十多岁的夫妇汤姆和黛布拉·凯利经营。

汤姆从事草坪护理行业已有三十年，此前拥有一家名为“The Lawn Dawg”的草坪公司。黛布拉负责招收GI Bill学生并向VA开具账单，相关信息来自法庭记录和调查文件。

1944年，富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统在国会议员、美国退伍军人协会及海外退伍军人协会成员的陪同下，签署《军人安置法案》（即《退伍军人权利法案》）。

调查文件显示，调查人员怀疑NTI有机草坪护理学院违反了VA关于退伍军人与平民学费必须相同的规定；他们怀疑任何平民都不会自掏腰包支付$14,900来学习种草。

他们策划了一场卧底行动。

2019年1月，VA监察长办公室的一名特工——化名“布伦丹”——冒充一名退伍军人致电该校，并秘密录音。布伦丹自称是一名100%残疾的退伍军人，患有创伤后应激障碍，正在寻找新的职业，调查人员的文件显示。

一名校方员工告诉布伦丹，他找对了地方：该学院是全国唯一一所获得GI Bill认证的有机草坪护理学校。他$14,900的学费将由VA全额支付。课程结束时，他还将获得一个免费的背负式喷雾器和足够的“产品”来开展自己的草坪种植业务。

随后，黛布拉·凯利接过电话。她告诉布伦丹，有机草坪护理赚钱如此容易，就像“瓮中捉鳖”，根据通话部分文字记录。

“这个课程非常适合你，”她说。

几周后，另一名卧底特工以一名从未服役的离异IT销售员身份造访该校，调查人员的文件显示。

这名特工解释称，他对该课程感兴趣，因为他想离开IT行业，与朋友一起从事户外工作。这次，汤姆·凯利进行了推销。

“我们提供化学草坪护理和有机草坪护理服务，”他说。“我们欢迎所有人加入。”

正如调查人员所料，汤姆·凯利向这名卧底特工报出了低得多的课程价格：

$4,900，比学校向退伍军人收取的费用少$10,000。 此外，调查人员还发现并采访了三名未支付任何学费就入读该校的平民，调查文件显示，这些学生是为了让学院虚增非退伍军人学生人数而被招入的。一名学生表示，凯利夫妇付给他$300，让他“去上课，因为他们需要一个人来充数”。 2019年8月，执法人员突击搜查了该校办公室，查获了记录和电子证据。该校不久后被迫关闭。 截至当时，该校已向退伍军人事务部收取了约$2.1 million学费，用于培训157名退伍军人，调查人员的文件显示。 调查人员将调查结果提交给联邦检察官。四年后，新罕布什尔州的美国联邦检察官办公室决定不提起刑事指控。司法部转而根据《虚假索赔法》对德布拉·凯利提起民事诉讼，指控她违反了85 percent rule，欺诈退伍军人事务部。（该公司及汤姆·凯利未被列入诉讼。） 2024年，德布拉·凯利达成和解，同意向政府支付$200,000，法院记录显示。 她和汤姆·凯利均未回应《华盛顿邮报》的采访请求或问题。联邦法院记录显示，该校关闭后，凯利夫妇离婚。

“一切都是谎言” 在2010年开办StoneMakers学院之前，戴维·蒙托亚在多个州留下了可追溯至20世纪80年代的欠债和税务留置记录，联邦和州法院记录显示。在其家乡新墨西哥州，他曾入狱四年。 在新罕布什尔州，蒙托亚开办了一所小型砌筑学校，向其他承包商传授他开发的专有岩石建造技术。蒙托亚的快干水泥和“纳米纤维”混合物可塑造成仿真岩石和巨石，用于后院露台、挡土墙和装饰性瀑布。在一份联邦法院文件中，他的律师将该产品描述为“革命性”和“神奇的”，并援引了客户的热情评价。 这家位于曼彻斯特的企业在两年后迎来转机，获得了根据《退伍军人权利法案》招收退伍军人的资格。蒙托亚和StoneMakers的销售人员在Facebook、YouTube及其他网站上推广该校，承诺在短短8天内教会退伍军人一门赚钱的新手艺。该校宣传手册和视频强调，退伍军人事务部将全额支付学费。课程在夏季于新罕布什尔州开设，冬季则在佛罗里达州开设。 StoneMakers学院未公开的信息是：退伍军人的学费标价为$18,500。迈克尔·阮（Michael Nguyen）是一名来自佛罗里达的陆军退伍军人，时年二十五六岁，他于2016年报名参加了奥兰多的StoneMakers课程。

在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时，他表示自己从未关注过费用，但认为这所学校“应该是合法的”，因为退伍军人事务部（VA）通知他将负责支付账单。阮说，他和大约30名其他学员第一天在租用的会议室度过，蒙托亚在那里教授水泥造型的基础知识。但阮补充说，当蒙托亚试图展示一块假岩石样本的硬度和耐久性时，它却碎成了几块。之后，阮说，学员们被分成小组，在为期eight-day的课程剩余时间里被派往工作现场“做免费劳工”。阮说他坚持了下来，但回家后感到厌恶。“我当时在想，VA怎么会批准这样的事情，”他说，“基本上，这全是谎言。”他表示自己之后向VA提交了投诉，但“没有人回复我”。VA官员在公开声明中表示，

他们会审查投诉，并将他们认为“合理”的投诉转交给学校处理。该部门还在网上公布学校在过去24个月内产生的投诉数量。但退伍军人倡导组织表示，VA很少调查投诉的真实性，也没有简单的机制迫使学校纠正问题。July 2017, VA监察长启动了一项调查。当时，VA已向StoneMakers支付了约$15 million用于培训近1,000名退伍军人，federal documents show。VA和新罕布什尔州从一开始就知道，StoneMakers向退伍军人收取高额费用，教授“如何让混凝土看起来像岩石”，一份VA官员撰写的备忘录显示。但调查的触发点是，一名VA员工向监察长办公室报告了对该校伪造会计记录的怀疑，according to the case file。联邦探员很快发现了这一情况——以及更多问题。一名曾在StoneMakers Academy工作的举报人告诉调查人员，这所学校是蒙托亚的“摇钱树”，他利用学员在工作中充当免费劳工。举报人称，几乎所有学员都是退伍军人——这明显违反了VA的规定——且StoneMakers伪造课程名单，调查人员的笔记显示。在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时，举报人将StoneMakers描述为“锅炉房式的运作”，剥削了许多运气不佳的退伍军人，包括那些遭受战斗创伤、药物或酒精问题的人。（举报人以匿名条件接受采访，因其作为机密线人协助了执法部门。）联邦探员要求举报人秘密

录下与StoneMakers Academy副校长、一名名叫朗达·辛普森的律师的电话交谈，辛普森负责确保StoneMakers遵守VA规定，调查人员的卷宗显示。在其中一通录音电话中，她敦促举报人不要与探员合作，并假装不了解VA关于不超过85 per cent学员可使用《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）的规定。“你必须假装不知道这条规定是什么意思，”辛普森在通话记录摘录中说道。辛普森和蒙托亚一直在篡改电子表格，伪造提交给VA的入学合同，隐瞒StoneMakers Academy经常违反85 percent规定并向退伍军人收取远高于平民的费用，court records show。2018, StoneMakers Academy关闭，当时该校的法律问题已明朗

2019年，调查人员向新罕布什尔州的联邦检察官提交了案件。但首席检察官退休后，案件进展放缓，调查人员的文件显示。2024年5月，蒙托亚和辛普森各自承认共谋向联邦官员作虚假陈述的罪名。检察官建议对两名被告判处缓刑，并向法官辩称，石艺学院并未发生欺诈行为，因为尽管这些岩石制作课程存在疑点，但确实如广告所述进行。然而，美国地区法官保罗·巴巴多罗拒绝接受量刑建议，称其“极为宽大”。巴巴多罗表示，此事似乎与A12版《退伍军人法案》相关报道有关。

法官认定蒙托亚和辛普森 “故意试图欺骗政府，以便 获取他们无权获得的数百万美元 款项。”他还暗示退伍军人事务部 “愚蠢”，因为规则宽松且执行不力。 最终，法官判处两名被告一年 居家监禁，随后缓刑三年。 他们还被分别责令向退伍军人事务部 支付$200,000的赔偿金。 蒙托亚和辛普森均未回应 本文的采访请求。 在2025年6月的判决中，辛普森道歉。 “我承认，在我的任期内 发生了不该发生的事情，对此 我深感抱歉，”她说。

德克萨斯州的明显警示信号——作为拥有最多退伍军人的州，退伍军人事务部依赖一个州级机构——德克萨斯州退伍军人委员会——来批准未经认证的职业学校使用《退伍军人权利法案》（GI Bill）资金，并审查申请者的资质。学校必须证明其拥有足够的教室空间和设备、书面课程、合格的教师以及学术日历。此外，还需证明其已运营至少两年，且财务状况稳定。然而，即使按照这些最低标准，该州委员会仍未能发现“零售就绪职业中心”（Retail Ready Career Center）的明显警示信号。这所空调维修学校导致退伍军人事务部损失了$72百万美元。该校位于达拉斯附近的加兰市，由高中辍学生乔纳森·迪恩·戴维斯创办，他有多次创业失败的记录。2014年，戴维斯向德克萨斯州退伍军人委员会申请允许退伍军人使用GI Bill资金入学时，这所学校仅仅是名义上的存在。法庭记录显示，他当时财务状况窘迫，欠债约$1百万美元，还因开出一张$25,000的空头支票面临重罪指控。他的公寓水电已被切断，只能用融化的冰刷牙。“我真的没什么可以典当的了，”他在后来被当局查获的电子日记中写道。“……没有钱的日子还在后头，只能祈求奇迹。”为了急于获取GI Bill资金，戴维斯向德克萨斯州退伍军人委员会隐瞒了自己的法律和财务困境，并谎称有足够的现金维持学校运营三个月，其日记和庭审证词显示。他还谎称“零售就绪”已运营两年，联邦法庭记录显示。2014年7月，该委员会批准了学校的申请，但未进行犯罪背景调查或对戴维斯的财务状况进行独立审查，庭审证词和法庭文件显示。该机构还批准了“零售就绪”高昂的学费：每名学生六周课程收费$18,000至$20,000，相当于德克萨斯州许多社区学院一整个学期收费的10倍。德克萨斯州退伍军人委员会官员拒绝了《华盛顿邮报》的采访请求，但提供了书面回复。回复称，学费和杂费必须在学生入学前披露。但该委员会补充说，“没有法定授权”赋予其“确定或规范何为‘合理’学费或收费标准的能力”。“零售就绪”向退伍军人推销该课程——

该校承诺，退伍军人法案（GI Bill）还将为学员支付前往得克萨斯州的$1机票和生活费用。不久，退伍军人事务部（VA）每月向这所学校支付超过100万美元，用于培训数十名退伍军人。戴维斯花费$428,000购买了一辆兰博基尼，$282,000购买了一辆法拉利，$260,000购买了一辆宾利欧陆GT，并以较小金额购买了两辆梅赛德斯-奔驰和一辆道奇Ram皮卡。法庭记录显示，他还以$2.2 million在达拉斯购置了一处豪宅，内设大型钢琴、家庭影院和健身房。此外，戴维斯承认在脱衣舞俱乐部消费“低于$200,000”。2017,一名“零售就绪职业中心”的前员工向得克萨斯州退伍军人委员会投诉，指控学校存在财务不当行为，委员会文件显示。委员会工作人员进行了实地考察，审查了学校账目，但未发现问题，相关文件显示。

然而，这起投诉也引发了退伍军人事务部监察长办公室的介入，后者展开了独立调查。调查人员突击搜查了学校和戴维斯的住宅，并没收了他的电子日记。公开记录显示，戴维斯在日记中承认，他在学校的退伍军人法案申请中就其财务状况和法律问题撒了谎。

《达拉斯晨报》布莱恩·埃勒奇拍摄 2019.乔纳森·迪恩·戴维斯站在得克萨斯州加兰市“零售就绪职业中心”外。2021年，陪审团裁定戴维斯犯有11项电信欺诈和洗钱罪名，认定他通过谎报学校财务状况和虚假声称学校在招收退伍军人前已运营两年，欺诈了退伍军人事务部。

美国地方法官布兰特利·斯塔尔判处他近20年监禁，并命令他支付$65 million的赔偿金。戴维斯在达拉斯郊外的一所低戒备联邦监狱接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示，自己被误判有罪。他说，检察官“试图证明我过着奢侈的生活，学生们没有得到优质教育，因为我忙着把钱花在兰博基尼和豪宅上”。“你给我看一条法律，说买好车是犯罪，”他补充道。 “表面上看，$20 grand for six weeks听起来绝对荒谬，”戴维斯谈到学校学费时说。但他表示，这笔费用包括学生前往达拉斯的机票、六周住宿和餐食，以及一个规模庞大的就业安置办公室，负责安排工作面试。他说，“零售就绪”绝非唯一一所从联邦政府获取数百万美元的学校。 “每所学校都是为了盈利而存在，”他说。他以哈佛大学为例，“他们不用缴纳一分钱的房产税，而政府纳税人仍然向他们投入数十亿美元。那么，人们认为这些钱去了哪里？难道有人会认为那些学校的管理人员不会开法拉利吗？”

2020,戴维斯被起诉，罪名包括电信欺诈和洗钱。在审判期间，检察官将学校的学费标准描述为“离谱”，并强调戴维斯如何将资金用于奢侈生活。$428,000,的兰博基尼和$282,000,的法拉利照片在法庭文件中均有显示。多名退伍军人出庭作证，称他们接受的培训质量低劣，退伍军人法案福利被浪费。“这起案件涉及三个方面：谎言、贪婪和被告用来致富的军事退伍军人，”首席检察官道格拉斯·布拉舍尔告诉陪审团。 其他退伍军人作为辩方证人出庭作证，称他们对“零售就绪”的经历感到满意。来自北卡罗来纳州的海军陆战队退伍军人布兰登·莫尔丁表示，这所学校助他开启了成功的

特朗普 续A1版

不再瑟瑟发抖。“我们已经习惯了这些每日公告，”意大利欧洲议会议员、负责欧盟与美国关系的代表团主席布兰多·贝尼费（Brando Benifei）表示。“我们不再那么认真对待了。” 在国内，特朗普依然主导着全国性的讨论，并推动政策议程。然而，这位总统未能迫使共和党控制的参议院解封爱泼斯坦档案，或通过他标志性的《拯救美国法案》。本周，为了让其提名的托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）担任司法部长的提名重回正轨，他不得不做出让步。 而在国外，最为显著的是，伊朗拒绝在美国的炸弹下屈服并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）继续在乌克兰的战争。欧洲对特朗普最近重提对格陵兰的要求报以集体叹息，而贸易伙伴则对最新的关税举措不以为然。 对于一个对美国的破坏能力感到厌倦的世界而言，夸夸其谈已成常态，威胁往往只是虚张声势，而这位热衷于“震慑与威吓”的总统最终常常选择退缩。欧洲对外关系委员会美国项目主任杰里米·夏皮罗（Jeremy Shapiro）表示，股票交易员的口头禅“TACO”——即“特朗普总是退缩”（Trump Always Chickens Out）——已开始在更多世界首都流传。“他的虚张声势直到现在仍然奏效，这一点让我有些惊讶，”夏皮罗谈及特朗普第二任期初期曾令世界震动的强硬姿态时说。他表示，这种效果源于“美国令人敬畏的实力和长期积累的外交资本”——而特朗普“终于开始耗尽”这些储备。 夏皮罗说，官员们“开始注意到他是个恃强凌弱的人，而且很容易被吓倒”。去年的“解放日”

关税在几天内就因例外和延期而被掏空。 他威胁对欧洲盟友就格陵兰问题征收的高额关税， 在瑞士达沃斯于 1 月撤回，换取丹麦从未接受且 未带来任何重大变化的模糊“框架”。 中国面对其 100% 关税的威胁毫不退让， 随后利用其对稀土矿产的控制以及暂停购买 美国大豆迫使华盛顿让步—— 这一教训表明，强硬立场往往导致特朗普屈服， 其他政府也已吸取这一经验。 巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦 无视旨在阻挠前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗 受审的 50% 关税，后者最终仍因煽动武装政变 被判处 27 年徒刑。 特朗普虚张声势的威慑力崩塌最为明显的地方， 莫过于伊朗。美国和以色列发起的轰炸行动 炸死了该国最高领袖及其他高级官员， 但伊斯兰政权依然屹立不倒， 并牢牢控制着霍尔木兹海峡—— 这一全球能源供应和其他货物的重要通道。

特朗普发出一连串最后通牒， 要求德黑兰重开海峡，并威胁 若拒绝将“摧毁伊朗文明”。海峡依然封闭。 伊朗在生存威胁下毫不屈服， 特朗普悄然调整了其政权更迭 及伊朗浓缩铀储备的公开目标。 “在威胁、轰炸、然后退缩之间， 他向伊朗人传递的信号是他已走投无路，” 罗纳德·E·诺伊曼表示。他是职业外交官， 曾在比尔·克林顿和乔治·W·布什总统任内 担任美国驻阿富汗、巴林和阿尔及利亚大使。 “作为经验丰富的谈判者，这意味着 你不必降价。”诺伊曼还直言不讳地说： “特朗普的谈判方式，我不会给他钱 去地毯市场买东西。” 特朗普的恫吓也未能将欧洲国家 拉入其对伊朗的行动。在西班牙拒绝协助后， 他威胁对其发动全面贸易禁运， 并向英国、法国和德国施压， 要求重新实施联合国制裁， 还暗示可能不履行美国的北约义务。 但这些盟友拒绝更深入地卷入这场战争—— 一些国家，如西班牙和意大利， 已关闭其基地或领空。 一位欧盟外交官表示，当特朗普威胁切断 与西班牙的贸易时，官员们似乎更倾向于 将其言论视为虚张声势， 许多人已从经验中得知，若置之不理， 他的怒火会自行熄灭。但这位要求匿名 讨论敏感关系的外交官也承认， 特朗普的不可预测性使得这种判断变得困难。 “这可能很棘手，”这位外交官说， 并提到特朗普对伊朗的军事行动。 “他并不总是退缩。” 诚然，特朗普已表明他愿意动手。 令其“美国优先”阵营的支持者惊讶的是，

收缩而非冒进，但他却比任何近期总统都更积极地在海外部署美军——1月派遣特种作战部队突袭委内瑞拉并试图控制尼古拉斯·马杜罗，一个月后轰炸德黑兰，并下令在加勒比海和太平洋对涉嫌毒品走私的船只发动数十次致命打击。在国内，他派遣国民警卫队在华盛顿特区巡逻，其移民打击行动更是让美国各城市陷入混乱，蒙面联邦特工突袭工作场所和法院——这些突袭有时演变为致命冲突并引发抗议。然而，即使动用武力的意愿也未能换来曾经的敬畏。

越来越多国内外官员和政界人士开始敢于挑战特朗普的威胁——或直接无视。欧亚集团（Eurasia Group）欧洲区董事总经理穆杰塔巴·拉赫曼表示：“欧洲明显不再那么容易陷入恐慌。欧洲各国政府越来越能区分特朗普的言辞……与最终出台的政策。”

这一模式甚至延伸至海湾地区，分析人士称，当地官员已对特朗普的交易风格习以为常。上月，华盛顿与利雅得宣布就沙特阿拉伯民用核计划达成协议，但特朗普随后在Truth Social上发文称，该协议以沙特加入《亚伯拉罕协议》为条件。卡内基国际和平基金会（华盛顿智库）中东学者安德鲁·莱伯表示，沙特官员对这一说法感到意外且恼火，因为他们已通过自身渠道大肆宣传该协议。“到现在，他们与特朗普的交易打过太多交道，知道这种令人恼火且前后不一的举动已成为常态。”

他们认为此前的绥靖政策 曾成功控制住了他。欧盟 委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩 飞往特朗普位于苏格兰的 高尔夫度假村，按照他的条件 解决了一场贸易争端。英国 邀请他进行前所未有的 第二次国事访问。 各国领导人如今仍然愿意 奉承特朗普，尤其是在 私下场合，但他们不太愿意 提供他所要求的让步， 一位直接参与与政府 谈判的欧洲外交官表示。 “在私下场合，他们仍然会 极尽奉承，因为他们知道这奏效，” 这位外交官说，他要求匿名 以讨论敏感互动。“这是一位 能在一次会议中显著软化立场的 总统。但这并不意味着你要让步。 这一点比以往任何时候都更加 真实。” 这位外交官表示，格陵兰 是一个转折点，因为 特朗普的威胁 在欧洲团结的反对下 化为乌有。中国也表明， 反击能够让总统让步， 巴西也是如此，而欧洲 对特朗普最初贸易攻势的屈服 只会导致他提出更多要求。 “我想人们现在在说， 好吧，我们不想无谓地激怒他， 但我们也无法真正让他满意，” 前大使诺伊曼说。 分析人士表示，学会淡化 特朗普的威胁并不一定会让 他的剩余任期更容易驾驭。 如果共和党在中期选举中失去 国会一院或两院的多数席位， 特朗普转而采取更多单边 行政行动，情况甚至可能 变得更加难以预测。 “这可能会非常危险，” 夏皮罗说。“特朗普不是那种 会默默接受失败的人。 他会对权力丧失感到愤怒， 并会寻找其他方式冒险 动用美国的力量。”

阿尔巴因朝圣活动在美伊紧张局势加剧之际举行

伊拉克圣城举办

全球最大年度宗教集会之一

世界

美联社

巴格达——数百万什叶派穆斯林周二在伊拉克圣城卡尔巴拉举行一年一度的阿尔巴因朝圣活动，活动在地区紧张局势持续及美伊战争再次升级的担忧阴影下进行。阿尔巴因在阿舒拉节后40天举行，纪念先知穆罕默德的孙子伊玛目侯赛因及其家人在公元680年卡尔巴拉战役中遇害。卡尔巴拉省长纳赛夫·贾西姆·哈塔比周二表示，朝圣期间有超过2200万人进入该市，其中包括约5百万非伊拉克访客以及来自该国不同地区的伊拉克人。这一活动被认为是全球最大的年度宗教聚会之一。在最引人注目的外国访客中，有伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格希，他于周一抵达伊拉克城市纳杰夫，随后前往卡尔巴拉参加朝圣活动。阿拉格希的到访提醒人们，自战争开始以来，与华盛顿和德黑兰均保持密切关系的伊拉克一直在进行微妙的平衡。伊拉克发现自己处于双方的交火线上，并试图避免进一步卷入冲突。与往常一样，伊朗朝圣者大量涌入，但一些观察人士表示，来自其他国家的朝圣者人数有所减少。45岁的巴格达朝圣者阿基勒·鲁拜伊在前往卡尔巴拉的路上表示，在纳杰夫至卡尔巴拉的道路上，伊朗国旗尤为显眼，而来自欧洲、阿拉伯及其他伊斯兰国家的国旗则比往常更少。他将此归因于“战争及该地区正在发生的事件，这些事件影响了阿拉伯和外国朝圣者的数量”。另一位来自巴格达的朝圣者、35岁的哈桑·萨拉伊表示：

“我几乎只看到伊朗国旗，这些旗帜在道路上以及卡尔巴拉市内外都清晰可见。”

志愿者队伍沿着通往卡尔巴拉的道路提供食物、水、医疗护理及其他服务。今年的朝圣活动正值伊拉克面临战争及霍尔木兹海峡关闭后的经济困境，霍尔木兹海峡的关闭已扰乱伊拉克的石油出口。伊拉克超过90%的国家收入来自石油出口，使该国经济极易受到原油运输中断的影响。与此同时，巴格达正努力应对一项艰巨任务：解除该国由多个民兵组织构成的网络武装，其中许多民兵组织受伊朗支持。伊朗支持的最强大民兵组织之一“真主党旅”在纪念阿尔巴因的声明中表示，拒绝解除武装的呼吁——

“我几乎只看到 伊朗国旗， 这些旗帜在道路上 以及卡尔巴拉市 内外都清晰可见。”

打击非法环境活动

来自亚马逊五国的警方逮捕了数百人，并查获木材、矿产和数千头牲畜，这是在全球最大雨林中开展的规模最大的协同打击环境犯罪行动之一。

玻利维亚、巴西、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁当局周二表示，代号为“绿盾行动2026”的行动于7月15日至31日展开，部署了超过3,600名警力，针对非法采矿、伐木、野生动物贩运、燃料走私和土地掠夺——即非法占用或侵占土地，通常随后进行森林砍伐——横跨亚马逊盆地。

HADI MIZBAN / AP 朝圣者在周日于伊拉克卡尔巴拉的伊玛目侯赛因和伊玛目阿巴斯圣陵之间聚集，迎接阿尔巴因节。

HADI MIZBAN / AP 什叶派信徒在周二的阿尔巴因节期间抬着阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊和阿亚图拉·霍梅尼的画像。

此次行动共逮捕839人，开展了1,045次实地行动，并查获超过990万立方米（9.9 million立方英尺）非法砍伐的木材，以及195公吨用于非法采矿（如黄金、碳、铁和铜）的矿产和设备。当局还解救了3,000多只活体动物，并发现至少430只与野生动物贩运相关的死亡动物，包括蛇、鸟类、蜥蜴和鱼类。

环境犯罪已成为亚马逊地区最赚钱的非法产业之一，受全球对黄金、木材和野生动物需求的推动。调查人员表示，同一犯罪组织往往同时从事非法采矿、伐木和野生动物贩运，利用跨国边界的共同贩运路线和金融网络。

官员称，这使得跨境合作变得日益重要，因为犯罪团伙经常在邻国之间转移人员和货物以逃避执法。 ——美联社

基辅民众悼念遇难学生

数百名身着白色服装的哀悼者周二在基辅市中心护送一名大学生的灵柩，这名学生在周末帮助救治早前袭击中的伤者时，遭俄罗斯袭击身亡。

简讯

20岁的维塔莉娜·亚罗文科的告别仪式在圣米迦勒金顶大教堂内开始，神职人员在灵柩前诵读祈祷文，亲友纷纷上前与她作最后道别。其家人表示，他们请求哀悼者穿白色或传统乌克兰刺绣衬衫，而非黑色，以免维塔莉娜“感到过于悲伤”。

尽管亚罗文科是平民，其母仍请求为她举行乌克兰用于悼念阵亡士兵的葬礼仪式。数百人护送灵柩从大教堂出发，沿坡道前往独立广场。车辆停驶数分钟，为送葬队伍让行，司机纷纷下车默立。 ——美联社

阿富汗

儿童营养不良 达到危急水平

联合国世界粮食计划署（WFP）周二表示，阿富汗三分之一的省份儿童营养不良已达到危急水平，预计随着资金短缺迫使粮食发放和其他援助削减，情况将进一步恶化。 WFP称，2025年因援助减少导致142个卫生中心关闭，超过13,000名儿童失去了营养治疗渠道。报告未提及任何具体捐助方，如美国——特朗普政府已大幅削减对外援助。

与此同时，在伊朗，许多无法前往卡尔巴拉朝圣的虔诚什叶派信徒在当地举行了纪念活动，其中不乏政治色彩。 在首都德黑兰，身着黑衣的哀悼者沿着近20公里（12英里）的路线，从市中心出发，前往城市南部的什叶派圣地。 哀悼者高呼口号，要求为美国和以色列空袭中遇害的伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊报仇。与此同时，部分示威者践踏了美国和以色列国旗。 官方媒体称，伊朗其他城市和城镇也举行了类似集会。

WFP预计，今年将有近370万阿富汗儿童和120万孕妇及哺乳期妇女遭受急性营养不良。 该机构表示，已有创纪录的12个阿富汗省份达到儿童急性营养不良的危急水平，原因包括冲突、失业、食品价格上涨、疾病暴发、水和卫生条件恶劣以及人道主义资金减少。 WFP称，中东地区的冲突导致营养品供应短缺，已中断营养品配送，导致近100万营养不良的妇女和儿童五个月来无法获得基本营养服务。 ——美联社

上个月，一家名为 Moonshot AI 的中国人工智能实验室发布了一个令业界震惊的模型。其测试性能接近前沿水平，而使用成本却远低于美国领先的系统。而且该实验室承诺在未来几周内发布一个开放权重版本——这意味着任何人都可以下载并运行该模型。在发布几天后，一个由人工智能和技术公司组成的联盟发表了一封信，为开放权重模型辩护，称其对美国的创新至关重要。这两项进展重新引发了一场关于人工智能应该是开放还是封闭的熟悉争论。但这忽略了重点。无论模型是开放还是封闭，更重要的区别在于它是通过创新构建的，还是通过窃取构建的。“系统性地提取和复制美国工业的创新毫无创新可言，”白宫科技政策办公室主任迈克尔·克拉齐奥斯 (Michael Kratsios) 在一份备忘录中写道。他并不是在批评开放权重的人工智能，而是在描述该政府指控的中国人工智能公司进行工业规模知识产权盗窃的模式。这种区别至关重要，因为问题不在于开放性，而在于来源。一家花费数十亿美元训练前沿模型，随后将其权重（编码模型知识的数值参数）向公众开放的公司，是在使其知识产权广泛可用。而一家秘密提取另一家公司的专有模型，并以较低价格重新包装，甚至免费赠送的公司，则是在做完全不同的事情。这场争论的分歧点在于一种被称为“蒸馏”的技术。大多数人工智能实验室都在从事这种实践——向其最强大的模型发送数千次，有时是数百万次提示，收集答案并利用这些答案来训练规模更小、成本更低的模型，从而吸收原模型的大部分能力。蒸馏自己的模型是效率。蒸馏——

在预约当天，我被引导至医院的一个特殊房间，那里的一切——地板、门把手、墙壁——都被纸覆盖着。

一名戴着手套的男子从一个破旧的绿色金属盒中抖出一颗碘-131（131）药丸，一种放射性同位素，我将其吞下。他离开了房间，我独自坐了 20 分钟，在体内“烹饪”。一旦测试确认我已达到适当的辐射水平，我就被送走，以避开人类。

在家里隔离行不通——我的房子里没有空间能放一张床且远离我的四只猫和一只狗。于是就成了“汽车旅馆镇”，人口只有我一个。我选了一家每晚 65 美元的旅馆。反正我也不会点按摩服务。

真正的人工智能鸿沟

使用他人账户、掩盖路由器或其他不正当手段获取是一种盗窃行为。而关注开放权重则是一种干扰。即使是 Anthropic——其模型处于近期指控的中心——也强调问题不在于开放权重人工智能本身。首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪最近重申，Anthropic 从未主张禁止开放权重模型。他指出，真正的担忧在于由威权国家支持的工业规模蒸馏行为。

该公司指称，包括 DeepSeek、Moonshot AI 和 MiniMax 在内的中国实验室创建了约 24,000 个欺诈账户，并与 Anthropic 的 Claude 进行了 1600 万次交互，以非法提取其能力。OpenAI 也曾向国会表示，DeepSeek 非法——

我仍然有那种逃避警察的感觉，尽管我有一张医生的便条，可以在必要时（比如被警察拦下）解释我的情况。显然，一些警察配备了能检测到放射性的传感器（这很好！）。

阳光和人们的随意让我感到陌生。这是一家熙熙攘攘的自助洗衣店，而按照医生的建议，我需要与他人保持 6 英尺的距离，这很难做到。与他人接近五分钟或更短时间可能没问题，但我还是很紧张。一位女士告诉我可以使用一台更小、更便宜的机器，我匆匆道谢后迅速走开。所有这些表现正常的人都有自己的秘密——自助洗衣店里的每个人都有。我的秘密是，我正尽力不在未来害死那里的所有人。

完全规避了限制。最近，克拉齐奥斯指称 Moonshot AI 通过蒸馏 Anthropic 的 Fable 模型开发了其突破性的 Kimi K3 模型。

西方实验室最初通过大量抓取公开数据和知识产权来训练其模型——这一问题仍在诉讼中。但通过互联网训练与通过旨在避免检测的技术故意提取竞争对手的成品模型之间存在巨大差异。

我再也用不上的洗衣卡。门边有个女人在看大学教科书，我把卡递给她。她看起来很怀疑。“我是外地来的，”我撒谎道。拿着这张卡吧，拜托，别让我改变你的DNA。

“好吧，”她说，然后继续看书。耶！这是对生者生活的完美、无聊的概括。做蠢事，试图弥补，对陌生人撒谎，过分在意别人的看法，努力掩饰自己的疯狂。

旅馆房间里可没有这样的事。后来，我意识到我的手可能在卡上留下了汗渍，让它变得有点危险。我永远不会知道。与人互动的另一件事：它会在事后萦绕心头。你会去谷歌自己是否做对了。谷歌说“危险极低”。你还是会继续谷歌。

现在一切都好。有一个暂时的、奇怪的副作用：我完全尝不出盐的味道。当我召集同事来看我往舌头上倒两包盐时，他们印象深刻。“你是为了表演才这么做的吗？”我的邻桌同事问。我当然是。

苏珊·桑塔格在《疾病的隐喻》中写道：“每个出生的人都拥有双重国籍，在健康王国和疾病王国。”在经历了三天的孤独流行病，以及两年内两次无关的癌症诊断后，我显然已经痊愈。是时候重新加入生者的行列了。

你可以说我正在喜悦中发光，但请别这么说。就说我庆幸自己还在这里。

T-Mobile的商业机密。Sinovel被判窃取AMSC的源代码。中国人工智能战略的辩护者指出，免费提供模型并不构成贸易法意义上的“倾销”，因为当某物属于公共领域时，就不存在价格歧视。这不是重点。如果该模型是通过窃取另一家公司的知识产权构建的——正如美国公司和白宫所指控的那样——那么它之所以便宜，原因与假冒商品便宜的原因相同：别人已经付出了成本。风险远不止于少数人工智能公司的资产负债表。前沿人工智能模型正在成为政府、企业、教育、医疗和国防的基础设施。随着中国模型被嵌入数十亿人使用的应用程序，它们变得更难移除，这与华盛顿所说的北京通过华为和5G建立的依赖性如出一辙。正如中国领导人习近平最近所言，开源人工智能是一个“难得的历史机遇”，可以塑造该技术的全球发展，并减少对美国的依赖。北京明白，人工智能领导地位不仅仅是销售软件。它关乎塑造未来经济和社会所依赖的技术架构。这并不意味着开放权重人工智能就是敌人。独立开发的开放模型应与创作者选择分享的任何来之不易的发明享有同等合法性。目标不应是规范开放性，而是保护创新。政策制定者应要求高风险应用的模型血统具有更大透明度，为关键基础设施建立可信的认证标准，并追究在敏感环境中依赖来源不明模型的部署者的责任。开放和封闭模型都应在相同的法律和道德条件下自由竞争。人工智能的未来应由更好的想法决定，而非更高明的盗窃。

倒影池诉讼的荒谬 T

林肯纪念堂倒影池的劣质粉刷工程本是一个愚蠢的夏日新闻，最多只应成为唐纳德·特朗普总统相对轻微的政治尴尬。然而，政府却将其演变为滥用检察权力的可耻事件。

周一，美国联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗前往白宫，试图在特朗普因其上周决定撤销对四名被控损坏池塘新铺设衬垫的人的指控而大发雷霆时保住自己的工作。在法庭文件中，皮罗驳斥了总统关于损坏系由破坏者造成的说法，反指责这是政府承包商“仓促且拙劣的安装”所致，并指控内政部误导了她的办公室。

特朗普向记者抱怨皮罗“怯场”了，“像雨伞一样折叠了”。但考虑到皮罗在周五提交的20页文件中详述的倒影池案件细节，令人不解的是，为何任何一位经验丰富的检察官会在一开始就选择追究此案。

政府对前奥运皮划艇选手戴维·赫恩提起了重罪指控，指控其涉嫌“暴力”拉扯——

马克韦恩·马林是对的：

取消临时保护身份并非终点 H

国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林遭到了“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）阵营中本土主义者的不公正抨击。上周末，他公开表示欢迎移民以缓解劳动力短缺，并称持有临时保护身份（TPS）的人可以寻求其他合法居留途径。

马林在这两点上都是正确的。TPS原本是为因武装冲突或环境灾难等不安全因素无法返回祖国的人提供的临时措施。

但这一身份及其附带的工作许可，已从最初的设计目的扩展至覆盖来自17个国家的超过1百万人。即使当地情况发生变化，这些身份仍被例行延长。

无论对错，唐纳德·特朗普在2024年竞选时承诺撤销TPS身份，并赢得了选举授权。今年6月，最高法院维持了他取消叙利亚人和海地人临时身份的权力。

结果是约350,000名海地人失去了在美国工作的授权。在裁决前，约200,000名持TPS身份的海地人正在工作，其中包括——

欧盟新AI法将最先进技术拒之门外

T

本周，欧盟开始执行其宣称的全球首部全面人工智能法。但它已经过时。

布鲁塞尔的官僚们正努力跟上技术进步的飞速步伐。2024,该法通过时规定，若AI模型的训练使用超过10的25次方数学运算，则被推定为构成“系统性风险”——这反映了谈判时的技术前沿水平。如今的模型能力已远超当时。

在其他方面，这部长达144页的法律过于模糊、含混且武断，极易被用来针对任何科技公司。

该法规禁止社会信用评分和操纵弱势群体；对帮助决定招聘、贷款审批或警方标记的系统施加严格安全要求；并要求在人们与机器人对话或观看伪造视频时必须被告知。

2024年制定的法律

无法跟上进步的步伐。

法案概述了宽泛的“标准”，意在由未来的法院逐步明确。“操纵和欺骗性技术”被定义为任何通过“显著”损害知情决策、“明显”削弱自主选择，导致人们做出“原本不会做出”的决定，且“合理可能”造成“重大伤害”的行为。 哪些技术？何为“重大”？法律并未明确。 “弱势群体”的定义也十分宽泛。除了年龄和残疾，受保护群体还包括处于“特定社会或经济状况”的人。这难道不是实际上涵盖所有人吗？ 如此宽泛的措辞扼杀了创新。大型科技公司浪费数百万资金，雇佣大批律师来解读——

内政部官员显然愿意延续虚假叙事以制造替罪羊，这一点令人不安。内政部长道格·伯格姆仍坚称损坏系破坏者所为。然而，同样令人担忧的是，检察官在将案件提交大陪审团之前未能进行基本的尽职调查。联邦起诉绝非儿戏。除了被捕和拘留带来的痛苦，即使最终撤销的指控也可能损害个人声誉和生计。一名被告的律师表示，其委托人因这场磨难失去了政府承包商的工作。赫恩法律团队的一名成员威胁要起诉政府“司法不公”。

唉，这并非法律被美国华盛顿特区联邦检察官办公室用作武器对付总统所谓敌人的唯一案例。谁能忘记去年夏天试图起诉一名向联邦特工投掷三明治的男子却以失败告终的尝试？

最为恶劣的是，皮罗的检察官今年2月曾试图起诉六名民主党议员，理由是他们发布的一段视频告知军人有权拒绝非法命令。大陪审团驳回了指控。法治再次占据上风。

“所有行业”。他呼吁增加工作签证，解释称部分行业需要帮助。“我们希望优先照顾美国人，”他说，“但有些领域我们缺乏必要的参与率，可以通过外来劳动力填补这些缺口。”

这引发了他主张“大赦”的指责，穆林随即在社交媒体上坚称自己并无此意。部长承认美国需要这些劳动力是正确的。让外国人合法工作，总好过让他们生活在阴影中。

面对这些模糊性，大公司尚能应对。而被合规成本压垮的小公司则根本无法起步。

令欧洲尴尬的是，整个大陆可能只有一家公司堪称前沿人工智能实验室：法国的Mistral。而其最优秀的模型已落后于美国和中国的水平。

由于监管过度，科技公司对进入这个原本利润丰厚的市场已变得谨小慎微。2024年，Meta以法律环境“难以预测”为由，拒绝在欧洲发布其最强大的模型。《数字市场法》促使苹果将尖端人工智能功能排除在欧洲销售的iPhone之外。谷歌已在全球范围内为其手机推出人工智能功能，但也有理由重新考虑。

欧盟官僚喜欢吹嘘“布鲁塞尔效应”，期望企业屈服于其监管体系。而实际上，这些政客正剥夺本国民众使用最佳工具及其带来的机遇的权利。

关于福奇的 疫情领导力教训 针对梅根·麦卡德尔2020年8月3日专栏文章《美国不需要对福奇的日记展开调查》：

我从事传染病医生工作已近35年，我同意麦卡德尔的观点，即公开安东尼·S·福奇的个人日记记录（尽管这些记录是在政府电脑上创建的）并无合理意义。当然，事后诸葛亮总是20 / 20，如果我们能在2020年1月就开发出完美的检测方法、治疗方案和隔离协议，那自然再好不过，但我们生活在现实世界中。

从零开始开发一种准确的诊断检测方法并非火箭科学；可以说，难度更大。一种非常准确的居家检测方法在2020年11月获得美国食品药品监督管理局批准，距离SARS-CoV-2基因组序列公布仅约10个月。相比之下，首个商业化HIV血液检测在1981年6月艾滋病首次被正式描述后，花了3年9个月才获得批准。

而口罩直到2020年4月才被常规推荐使用，因为此前人们并不知道像流感这样的呼吸道病毒会通过结核病那样的小飞沫传播。对病毒的应对措施随着科学家对病毒理解的不断深化而实时调整。

检测方法和隔离协议不够完美，正是技术障碍和应对前所未有公共卫生紧急事件挑战的明证。但它们挽救了许多生命。福奇等公职人员以及疾病控制与预防中心和美国国立卫生研究院的科学家们理应得到我们的高度赞扬，而不是近期我们目睹的那些毫无根据的攻击。

梅根·麦卡德尔2020年8月3日的专栏文章对安东尼·S·福奇“拒绝冒伪证指控的风险”表示同情，也对“仍对福奇政策感到愤怒”的保守派表示理解。她指出，互相指责毫无意义。诚然如此，但麦卡德尔忽略了福奇在压制不同意见和扼杀辩论方面的行为，以及一个强大、独立的新闻界的关键作用。

正如《华盛顿邮报》编辑委员会在2020年8月1日社论《民主不需要真相警察》中所写：“审查制度‘侮辱了美国人民的智慧，他们无需被告知该如何思考，能够自行判断’。”社论最后指出：“压制不受欢迎的观点通常会适得其反。”新冠疫情的反噬效应损害了新闻界的公信力，19名公共卫生官员的公信力亦不例外。

新冠疫情的事实

新冠病毒（Covid-19）是多种冠状病毒之一。冠状病毒会感染不同物种，并能够发生变异，进而感染新的宿主，如人类。在近代历史上，有两个例子：SARS和MERS。严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）的起源可追溯到中国的蝙蝠。中东呼吸综合征（MERS）则源自骆驼。一旦呼吸道病毒转移到人类，可能会迅速传播，因为人类尚未对其产生免疫。呼吸道病毒

关于燃气灶研究的实际结论 《华盛顿邮报》7月30日的报道《环保署叫停燃气灶研究，但数据依然引人注目》详细介绍了最近发表的关于天然气灶的研究。但明确说明该研究得出和未得出的结论非常重要。这项研究由克利夫兰凯斯西储大学和当地一家医院网络的研究人员进行，并未确定更换燃气灶能带来因果性健康益处，也未证明使用天然气存在慢性危害。研究人员招募了85名哮喘控制不佳的参与者。参与者获得了新的电炉和电气升级，部分人还获得了新的通风罩，每户平均成本约为1万美元，由研究资助，参与者无需支付费用。研究人员随后比较了干预前后的自我报告结果。

由于缺乏对照组，研究无法确定哮喘症状的改善是否由更换灶具引起，是否会自行改善，或是由其他原因导致。研究未跟踪实际灶具使用情况、烹饪习惯、通风行为、吸烟或用药变化、就医或其他临床干预。其有限的季节性比较无法排除花粉和病毒性疾病或其他环境变化的影响。研究作者本人也承认，需要进行对照临床试验来确认其发现。

同样值得注意的是，世界卫生组织资助的一项系统性综述发现，与使用电力相比，使用燃气的儿童或成人哮喘风险并无统计学显著增加。消费者在决定如何为家庭供暖和烹饪食物时，理应获得关于研究能够——以及无法——证明什么的清晰说明。 理查德·迈耶，华盛顿 作者是美国天然气协会能源市场、分析与标准事务副主席。

MARK ZALESKI / THE TENNESSEAN / USA TODAY NETWORK VIA REUTERS CONNECT 前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯7月30日在纳什维尔举行的全国律师协会年度大会上。

凯特·安德鲁斯

卡玛拉·哈里斯，这是你的时刻。 美国需要你。

你第一次听到卡玛拉·哈里斯正在考虑再次竞选白宫时，是什么反应？ 坦诚相告。 成熟的回答可能是你感到了某种退缩——一种下意识的冲动，表现为身体一颤，也许还脱口而出：“绝对不行。” 有趣的是，许多共和党人和民主党人都有大致相同的反应。前者将嘲讽与厌恶混杂在一起。他们又来了。后者则被深深的悲伤和机会丧失的感觉所笼罩。我们又来了。 无论如何，这是你应该说的话。但我并不买账。每当我看到哈里斯的名字在2028年新一轮民调中领先，或是再次听到她可能参选的暗示时，我都会感到一阵兴奋。这是一种无法抑制的激动。她那活力四射却空洞的政治风格，一直是公共舞台上严重缺失的元素，而我们因此变得更糟。 她的政治复出越早越好。

华盛顿在最好的时期也不是这个国家最快乐或最有趣的地方，而过去的18个月更是一场扼杀首都残存欢乐的练习。 唐纳德·特朗普在2024年竞选活动中带来的幽默感已经消失殆尽。那个曾在麦当劳驾车窗口服务的特朗普——那个美国过度消费和自由的鲜明国际象征——已经被一个吝啬的特朗普所取代，他谈论的是为学校限量供应铅笔，为圣诞树下的玩偶定量配给。 特朗普那些合理的政策，比如加强边境管控 [...OMITTED...]

倒影池的毁坏究竟是谁的责任？ 珍妮·皮罗面临抉择。

你很少见到司法部像美国联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗上周在法庭上那样，将另一个联邦部门推上被告席。在成为哥伦比亚特区的美国联邦检察官之前，皮罗最为人所知的是在福克斯新闻频道担任主持人长达14年。她最近一次担任检察官的经历是西切斯特县地区检察官，任期于2005.年底结束。一个在她最后一天任职时出生的孩子，到今年年底将能够合法饮酒。在担任美国联邦检察官的7个月里，皮罗面临了一些严峻的挑战和挫折，例如“今年在华盛顿联邦地区法院的审判胜率异常低”，据CNN报道，以及大陪审团拒绝起诉六名建议军方成员拒绝“非法命令”的民主党议员，还有那位，嗯，臭名昭著的“三明治投掷者”。无论是作为福克斯新闻主持人还是美国联邦检察官，她都以对特朗普的溢美之词而闻名。但听总统周六的说法，皮罗背叛了他，并放弃了职责，撤销了对奥运皮划艇选手戴维·赫恩的故意破坏重罪指控。赫恩被指控拔起了林肯纪念堂倒影池新安装衬垫的一部分。“我100%不同意哥伦比亚特区美国联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗在倒影池问题上的做法，”特朗普在Truth Social上怒斥道，“我不知道她在想什么？在我看来，这纯粹是故意破坏，包括草坪上用巨大字母拼出的86 47，以及周围区域的其他部分。可能存在一些承包商的困难，但主要损害是由破坏者造成的！”现在，我知道这会让你震惊，但特朗普的声明并不完全准确（数字8647实际上是刻在附近的草坪上）。在撤销对赫恩指控的文件中，联邦检察官表示池子本身没有遭到破坏，并指责内政部的员工

已演变为一项严苛的移民执法策略，导致6人死亡，其中包括2名美国公民。曾经承诺通过实力追求和平的誓言已不复存在，国家的弹药和导弹拦截器也已耗尽，用于一场新的中东战争，这场战争令人不安地让人想起总统曾经抨击过的无休止战争。这些事情中找不到任何快乐。哪怕是一点轻松的缓解也难以寻觅。甚至连美国第250周年庆典也未能带来喘息：原本可能成为激励人心、团结全国的时刻，却变成了一场政治化的事件，在国家广场上，音乐家拒绝在“大美利坚州博览会”上演出，而一场潮湿的深夜特朗普政治集会则伪装成独立日庆典。我们迫切需要一些令人振奋的欢乐。 “我们每个人内心都有光芒，”前副总统6月在YouTube上对唐·莱蒙说，“当我们感受到这份光芒，不让一场选举或某个人削弱它，反而让这份光芒引领我们，尤其是在黑暗时刻，我们不仅要践行这份希望，还要激励彼此的希望。”这就是了。一堆词语的大杂烩。混杂的隐喻。把它注入我的血管吧。我甚至敢挑战那些自豪的愤世嫉俗者和顽固的悲观主义者，听到这番试图激励人心的表述时，不露出一丝微笑。 这是哈里斯为美国政治话语带来的天赋。她是解药，是当今沉重氛围中的一抹欢乐调剂。特朗普也经常抛出一堆词语大杂烩，但他的胡言乱语往往趋于恶毒和纯粹的——

哥伦比亚特区美国联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗在5月7日的新闻发布会上。

内政部就误导他们关于损坏原因的指控进行了回应。

“直到大陪审团起诉书返回后，内政部才向哥伦比亚特区美国联邦检察官办公室提供了额外文件，表明2026年6月林肯纪念堂倒影池的损坏是由承包商大西洋工业涂料公司的安装缺陷，以及为赶在2026年美国独立250周年庆典相关活动前完成项目所导致的。”文件中写道。

7月17日，皮罗及其他高级检察官与一名辩方专家一同视察了倒影池，并“立即注意到已排空的池中存在大面积损坏”。直到这次检查后，皮罗的办公室才要求内政部提供“所有关于……池底如何铺设以及铺设记录的文件”。

这份长达20页的文件中，皮罗和助理美国联邦检察官迈克尔·斯彭斯向哥伦比亚特区高等法院法官托德·E·埃德尔曼表示：不要责怪我们，内政部提供了错误的信息。文件称：“这些文件表明，这是一次仓促且存在缺陷的安装——”

观点

党派性。哈里斯的空洞陈词滥调人人可享，其空泛程度足以让人在不危及自身政治立场的情况下尽情品味。无论你支持全民医保还是私营保险模式，哈里斯都支持。无论你想大力开采页岩气还是推动“绿色新政”，哈里斯都支持。无需在信仰上妥协——哈里斯已为你代劳。这是一项公共服务，试图将一个严重两极分化的国家团结起来。

哈里斯在2023年决定不竞选加利福尼亚州州长令人担忧——公众将无法听到她对当今紧迫问题的看法。例如，这位前副总统对人工智能的未来有何想法？如果她在2022年关于路易斯安那州技术和农村宽带的标志性言论可作参考——“因此，当你思考这一点时，时间的流逝在我们需要铺设这些线路、创造这些就业机会方面具有重大意义”——那么国家早就该听听她对联邦人工智能优先权和政府对聊天机器人模型的批准意见了。

哈里斯的优点可能与领导力的优点不符，但后者在政治上已过时多年。这位前副总统在民主党初选民调中接近30%的支持率，远领先于许多潜在竞争对手，正重返政治舞台。若运气好，这将很快转化为曝光时间：滴水式采访的回归，以及《洛杉矶时报》2021年推出的“报道卡玛拉·哈里斯”专栏的复兴，该专栏旨在追踪“她的历史性崛起”。在2024年输掉所有摇摆州或许只是通往伟大的垫脚石。我们将得到应得的所有陈词滥调。

安装过程中反复出现衬里失效，倒影池全线出现衬里大面积剥落。……内政部在本案初期提供的信息并不完整。……如果内政部当初能提供其明确掌握的信息，政府本不会寻求大陪审团起诉。”伯古姆在X上的回应充满愤怒，但对内政部试图将赫恩作为“仓促且存在缺陷的安装过程”的替罪羊这一说法缺乏具体反驳。“证据确凿，破坏者多次对倒影池造成损害，”伯古姆写道。“其中一些行为甚至被监控拍下。我们还向美国联邦检察官办公室提供了专家和目击者证词，证明破坏者造成的损害，并提供了他们要求的所有证据，详细列出池中每一处损坏的时间线。”

如果证据如此确凿，人们会认为皮罗及其检察官会急于将任何破坏者绳之以法。皮罗担任哥伦比亚特区的美国联邦检察官是一个严重错误的选择，但在此案中，她做出了正确决定。没有证据能定罪赫恩，而现有证据指向衬里剥落是由其他因素造成。撤销指控虽迟但正确；专家在近三周前已指出安装存在缺陷。特朗普的批评者有时声称总统拥有“现实扭曲力场”——他断言不实之事，并以某种方式说服周围所有人附和，相信皇帝确实穿着华丽的新衣。但这种扭曲是有限度的。皮罗及其团队无意走进法庭，对所有内政部文件视而不见，仅因总统声称是破坏行为就坚持如此。如果你是一名受到总统在Truth Social上谴责的特朗普任命官员，你可能做对了事。

特朗普与伊朗的针锋相对忽视了更大的现实

约翰·博尔顿

特朗普政府在伊朗问题上的最新政策急转弯发生在有关可能发动重大新打击的报道出现仅36小时后。总统非但没有采取行动，反而宣布“正在与伊朗敲定协议的框架”。伊朗方面随即对此予以否认。周六的这一转变表明，白宫在伊朗问题上的“战略”几乎已荡然无存。就在上周，针对伊朗对驻约旦美军基地的袭击，特朗普曾表示：“我们将予以沉重打击，因为轮到我们出手了。”这算不上战略，甚至连战术都勉强称得上。正当美国举棋不定之际，一些观察人士开始散布“更大规模战争”的恐慌论调。在中东地区，7月20，巴林和科威特据报道对伊朗境内目标发动了打击，加入了由美国领导的沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国联盟。沙特与美国首次联手打击了伊拉克什叶派民兵组织。29日，也门胡塞武装宣布对红海的沙特商业实施封锁，促使利雅得宣布组建国际联盟以确保红海航道畅通。随着红海南部出口受到威胁，29日对埃及港口杜姆亚特的无人机袭击危及苏伊士运河的北部终点。就在几天前，乌克兰在里海袭击了一艘伊朗船只，认为其载有军事装备。这是否意味着乌克兰战争与中东战争正在融合，可能引发“灾难性的……横跨欧亚大陆和中东的全面战争”？答案是否定的。但在针锋相对的报复与灾难性后果之间，华盛顿是否还有其他选择？有，但前提是认真进行战略分析——这显然不是特朗普团队的强项。然而，国际局势的基本现实，尤其是正在形成的北京-莫斯科轴心——习普“全面无限制伙伴关系”——至关重要。伊朗、白俄罗斯和朝鲜是这一轴心的外围力量。在1998，前国家安全顾问兹比格涅夫·布热津斯基曾将未来的中俄伊联盟描述为“可能最危险的局面”。因此，乌克兰和伊朗的冲突从一开始就相互交织，其复杂联系早在过去几周前就已存在。在诸多关联中，德黑兰多年来一直向莫斯科提供无人机及其他军事能力。克里姆林宫也予以回报，包括向美国军队提供关键军事情报，中国亦是如此。朝鲜则向俄罗斯提供兵力和武器。此外，亚洲地区的紧张局势虽未升级为公开战争，但也必须在美国对这两场冲突的决策中占据重要分量。须知，俄罗斯也是一个东亚大国。中国则构成多重实质性威胁：在东海针对台湾和日本（包括钓鱼岛 / 尖阁诸岛

乌克兰和伊朗冲突

一直以来相互交织， 早在过去几周之前就存在复杂的联系。

岛屿及其他地区）；在南海，中国已将其大部分宣布为领海；以及与印度和越南陆地边界的持续敌意。考虑到这些因素，美国政府的主要战略重点应优先考虑美国的国家安全利益和能力。这并不意味着在所有战线发动全面战争。白宫必须以美国自2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列以来不愿采取的方式进行优先排序。淡化这些相互关联——特朗普惯用的手法——并不能使其消失，也不会减少其对美国战略的实质性影响。如果美国承认“更大规模的战争”早已展开并将在可预见的未来持续，成功的可能性会更大。还应强调指出，冷战结束以来数十年国防开支不足，才可能真正导致

“灾难性”后果。抽象的优先排序只是学术练习，因此应以特朗普团队的现状为准。它应专注于摧毁（或至少瘫痪）德黑兰政权；遏制俄罗斯在乌克兰的行动；并大幅加强对中国的威慑。伊朗政府已分裂，正如特朗普最近承认的那样，他将袭击美国在约旦基地的势力与政权无能的文职谈判代表区分开来：“他们对此几乎无能为力。这是一个与我们打交道的不同群体。”如果特朗普无法打通霍尔木兹海峡，将显著加剧其11月选举的问题。他最好继续他在2月开始的行动。在乌克兰，华盛顿应加快授权“爱国者”导弹防御技术；加大对俄罗斯的经济压力；并放弃任何削减美国在北约驻军的计划。将所有俄罗斯石油排除在国际市场之外应是目标，这进一步凸显了将海湾阿拉伯国家的石油出口恢复至战前水平或接近战前水平的紧迫性。乌克兰如今是欧洲最强大的军事力量，几乎没有迹象表明俄罗斯能在四年多的战斗后实现目标。不幸的是，特朗普不太可能提供乌克兰击败俄罗斯所需的支持，因此至少应稳定这一战线。暂时如此。美国正在与时间赛跑，应对中国在印太地区的周边威胁，尤其是台湾问题。向台北出售价值14亿美元的武器并非“谈判筹码”，应立即完成。特朗普应加强亚洲四方机制（与印度、日本和澳大利亚），并大力支持日本增强其常规军事力量，东京的国防开支增加预示了这一点。摧毁德黑兰政权将是向北京发出的最明确信号，警示其不应冒险进行军事冒险主义。

在合并信用卡债务前，先问问自己：如果行不通怎么办？

当你努力偿还高利率信用卡债务时，申请合并贷款可能会让你觉得这是一个明智的财务举措。如果你有良好的信用记录，个人贷款的利率可能约为7%，而信用卡的利率则高达20%至30%。个人贷款将借款人锁定在3至5年的固定月供中，使每月还款更易负担。如果你按计划还款，最终会占据优势。但如果一切并不如预期般顺利呢？

根据我的经验，当人们获得合并贷款时，往往会产生一种虚假的安全感。在未解决根本问题的情况下，使用分期贷款清偿信用卡债务，常常会陷入一种财务上的“打地鼠”游戏。你挥动锤子，击倒了信用卡余额。但如果你的工资仍不足以支付日常开销，资金问题依然存在。于是，你又开始重新使用那些已清零的信用卡，仅仅为了维持生计。等你意识到时，你已陷入同时偿还新贷款和新增信用卡余额的困境。你并未赢得这场游戏；现在，你面对的是两倍的目标。

根据非营利信用咨询机构Money Management International (MMI)的一份新报告，45%的新客户在寻求债务帮助时持有个人贷款。在这些客户中，平均贷款余额接近$19,000，较2025年上涨了11%。

“有时这会变成一种‘障眼法’游戏，”MMI首席消费者金融分析师泰德·罗斯曼表示，“问题在于，当你用新债还旧债，然后又刷爆信用卡时，你的处境可能实际上比之前更糟，不幸的是，我们正在看到这种趋势。”

该机构超过一半的客户是千禧一代（年龄在30至45岁之间），平均债务为$43,533。X世代（年龄在46至

企业利润飙升推动标普500指数创下历史新高

作者：斯坦·乔 美联社

纽约电 —— 由于企业利润持续增长且油价回落，美国股市周二大幅上涨，创下新高。

标普500指数上涨1.8%，这一华尔街健康状况的主要指标超过了数月前创下的历史高点。道琼斯工业平均指数上涨907点，涨幅1.7%，创下前一日创下的历史新高，而纳斯达克综合指数则上涨2.6%。

尽管市场对高通胀、伊朗战争、经济不满以及人工智能技术繁荣可能导致的股价泡沫存在担忧，华尔街仍创下最新高点，并奖励了那些因企业利润持续飙升而保持耐心的投资者。股价通常会跟随

埃里森为收购华纳兄弟辩护

科技巨头派拉蒙天空之舞（Paramount Skydance）背后的埃里森家族继承人戴维·埃里森周二在《纽约时报》发表专栏文章，为其收购华纳兄弟探索（Warner Bros. Discovery）的交易辩护。他声称，民主党州检察长们在法庭上与他对抗，是因为对他政治立场及对新闻机构管理能力的错误认知。

他写道：“我认为这场斗争并非真正关乎市场份额……我认为在诉状和新闻稿背后，隐藏着一个更直白的担忧：新闻。问题在于，我是否能被信任成为华纳旗下CNN的管理者。外界对我的政治立场、忠诚度和意图存在猜测。”

埃里森——亿万富翁甲骨文联合创始人、唐纳德·特朗普盟友拉里·埃里森之子——表示，自己曾投票支持民主党和共和党，并持有自由派和保守派的价值观。他称，CBS新闻和CNN等新闻机构“应当直截了当地报道事实”，“反映整个世界而非其中一面”。

自去年夏天接管CBS母公司派拉蒙以来，埃里森的管理及其任命的CBS新闻总编辑巴里·韦斯（前保守派观点记者）的领导层饱受争议，被指存在编辑干预和对特朗普政府的偏袒。派拉蒙和CBS新闻强烈否认这些指控，尤其是近几个月被解雇的《60分钟》记者提出的质疑。

今年7月，加州总检察长罗布·邦塔与

61岁群体背负着最沉重的债务负担，平均债务达$53,350。Z世代成年人（年龄在18至29岁之间）仅占客户总数的16%，平均债务为$22,848，但其债务增长速度超过其他任何群体。过去一年，MMI的该年龄段客户数量增长了35%，平均债务上升了12%。

罗斯曼表示，对于20多岁的年轻人，“他们缺乏缓冲空间。他们没有时间积累大量储蓄，职业生涯初期的薪资增长跟不上学生贷款、住房和育儿成本的步伐”。

从长期来看，企业盈利仍是股价走势的主导因素。

Palantir科技公司股价飙升29.5%，此前CEO亚历克斯·卡普表示，公司整体收入激增93%，他称这一季度表现“超凡脱俗”。除了报告春季利润超出分析师预期外，这家AI公司还上调了2026年全年收入预测。

卡特彼勒股价上涨5.6%，此前这家重型设备制造商同样报告了超出分析师预期的利润和收入。这是卡特彼勒首次在一个季度内实现超过$20的销售和收入，CEO乔·克里德表示，公司主要业务的订单率和积压订单均在增长。此外，卡特彼勒还通过为数据中心提供涡轮机等设备，从AI热潮中受益。

经济与商业

在申请个人贷款之前，先问自己一个关键问题：我是否已经永久性地解决了导致这笔债务的现金流缺口？

对于数百万家庭来说，债务并非由挥霍无度造成，而是由通货膨胀推动。食品、住房和公用事业的价格持续上涨，超过了人们的工资增长，迫使他们依赖信贷来维持生计，即使在合并债务之后也是如此。

“人们陷入债务往往有非常正当的理由，”罗斯曼指出，“比如医疗账单、汽车维修、杂货开销。这些都是——”

这些公司是最新一批交出超出投资者预期的季度利润的企业，此前亚马逊、微软等公司也公布了强劲业绩。根据FactSet的数据，进入本周，标准普尔500指数中的公司第一季度每股收益较上年同期预计将增长近50%。

这将是自2021年以来最大的同比涨幅，当时经济在新冠疫情暴跌后强劲复苏。随着企业利润大幅上升，而股价仍大致维持在两个月前的水平，股票的估值看起来不再像之前那样昂贵，Leuthold Group的联合投资组合经理菲尔·塞格纳表示。

周二股市上涨的另一个助力是油价再次下跌。

作为国际基准的布伦特原油价格下跌了5.3%，至——

包括加利福尼亚州在内的19个州的总检察长起诉，要求阻止派拉蒙天空舞公司以110亿美元收购华纳兄弟探索公司的交易。

一名法官暂停了这笔交易的完成，双方将在明年进入审判程序。

“正如邦塔总检察长一贯明确表示的那样，我们对华纳兄弟 / 派拉蒙合并案的挑战是一起明确的反垄断案件，”邦塔的一位发言人在声明中写道，“这笔合并违反了联邦法律。”

美国贸易

逆差较2024年仅略有下降

美国6月贸易逆差略有收窄，但仍仅略低于唐纳德·特朗普总统上任前的水平，尽管经历了逾一年的关税动荡。

贸易逆差，即国家进口与出口之间的差额，自5月以来下降了逾5%，至733亿美元。今年以来，这一逆差较2024年上半年（即乔·拜登政府执政期间）已减少约7.5%。

特朗普去年宣布贸易逆差长期存在构成国家紧急状态，并利用这一地位对几乎全球所有国家的商品加征广泛关税。但这些关税在美国企业、消费者及法院中引发争议。最高法院今年早些时候宣布大部分关税无效。特朗普上月底使用另一部法律加征了新关税。

“债务通常不是用于度假或疯狂购物……很多时候只是日常生活开支超出了工资水平。”如果你正在寻求债务减免，不要用一笔贷款替换另一笔贷款。可以考虑与非营利信用咨询机构合作。可通过国家信用咨询基金会（nfcc.org）或致电844-865-2828找到信誉良好的机构。

具体而言，可了解被称为“债务管理计划”的服务。以下是其相较于合并贷款往往更成功的原因。帮助协商降低利率。截至2026年5月，个人贷款平均利率接近12%，根据圣路易斯联邦储备银行数据。2025年与MMI合作的平均客户负债约为24,000美元。该机构表示，能帮助客户将平均利率从27.91%降至7.66%。

虽然你可以自行找到利率相当的合并贷款，但需要四处比较并拥有良好信用评分才能获得资格。内置防护措施。在债务管理计划下，债权人——

石油价格周二下跌，因市场情绪再次从恐慌转向乐观，每桶价格降至79.36美元。由于对伊朗战争何时允许油轮自由驶离波斯湾以向全球运送原油存在不确定性，7月油价在72美元至102美元之间大幅波动。油价多次剧烈波动，不确定性时起时落，不仅周度变化，甚至小时变化。分析师警告未来可能出现更多波动，但油价最新下跌仍有助缓解华尔街对通胀的担忧。这拉低了债券市场收益率，进而缓解了整体经济及股票等投资品价格的压力。

10年期国债收益率从周一的4.70%降至4.62%，上周末为4.75%。这一变化对债券市场而言较为显著，尽管其水平仍远高于伊朗战争前的3.97%。

更高的收益率使各类美国人借贷成本增加，从寻求抵押贷款的购房者到希望建设人工智能数据中心的大公司均受影响。与此同时，有关美国经济的报告显示，尽管通胀状况仍不尽如人意，但经济依然保持韧性。其中一份报告称，美国雇主在6月底发布了近740万个职位空缺，较5月略有放缓，但接近经济学家的预期。

在海外股市，欧洲和亚洲大部分地区的指数小幅上涨。韩国综合股价指数（Kospi）涨幅更为显著，上涨了1.6%。首尔股市出现全球最剧烈的波动，因两家卷入人工智能热潮的公司——三星电子和SK海力士——主导了该市场。

与部分国家的贸易逆差仍居高位。经济分析局6月贸易数据显示，与墨西哥、越南和韩国的逆差创历史新高。

特朗普的账户被 第一资本关闭

第一资本于2021年关闭了特朗普持有的银行账户，此前该行在法庭文件中披露，这些账户的金融活动具有洗钱特征。 这份法庭文件与第一资本遭到特朗普一家金融控股公司起诉有关，该诉讼在他第二次宣誓就职后不久提起。特朗普指控第一资本非法关闭其账户。

贷方要求你关闭参与该计划的信用卡。这能消除在偿还债务期间再次累积余额的诱惑。信用评分恢复。最初，由于关闭账户，你的评分可能会下降，但会逐渐恢复。成功完成债务管理计划有助于改善你的信用记录。俄亥俄州立大学研究人员代表NFCC进行的一项研究发现，在接受约18个月的咨询后，信用评分平均提高了50分，NFCC发言人布鲁斯·麦克拉里（Bruce McClary）表示。这一提升可将你推入更高的评分等级，在你再次需要借款时获得更优惠的利率。经济实惠的救助。远离营利性债务清算公司。它们承诺的“快速解决”或“以一美元的几美分偿还”的说法是一个代价高昂的陷阱。这些公司通常收取数千美元的费用，并指示你停止支付账单，以迫使债权人同意更低的偿还金额。但这种策略会严重损害你的信用评分。许多借款人最终陷入比开始时更深的债务。通过债务管理计划，大多数人可以预期平均激活或设置费用为$35至$55，平均月度维护费用为$25至$40，麦克拉里表示，并指出在极端困难情况下可免除费用。问责与辅导。也许你曾是一个挥霍无度的人，或者你在预算方面有困难。咨询师会全面审视你的财务状况。如果你愿意，咨询师可以帮助你管理开支并跟踪偿还过程中的支出。“这种持续支持的水平在债务合并贷款中是无法获得的，”麦克拉里说。将咨询师视为你肩上的天使，

新《蜘蛛侠》电影创下开画历史纪录

作者：林赛·巴尔

美联社

《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》在影院上映首周末创下票房历史。这部由索尼发行的超级英雄电影以惊人的$3.55 亿票房成为北美影史第二大开画影片，仅次于2019年上映的《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》（$3.57 亿）。

该片在全球73,500块银幕上映，国际票房达$5.72 亿，其中中国贡献了1.21亿美元，全球首周末总票房达$9.27 亿，仅次于《终局之战》的12 亿美元 billion。

但《全新一天》的胜利也紧随另一部由霍兰德和赞达亚主演的重磅影片——《奥德赛》（克里斯托弗·诺兰执导）之后，该片在上映第三周末跌至第二位，票房为$51百万。两部影片的强势表现共同推动北美影院创下有史以来最强周末，根据Rentrak的数据，总票房估计达$4.3 亿。

《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》开局强劲，在美国和加拿大的4,487家影院首日票房达$1.68 亿，超越了《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》的纪录。

来谈谈爱莉安娜·格兰德的

身体。这关我们什么事？

歌手近期的外表引发了两种回应：别管她，以及这到底是怎么回事？

在过去的几个月里，一位名叫伊莉斯·迈尔斯的非常有趣的内容创作者——你可能看过她关于塔可钟初次约会的病毒式帖子——的粉丝们注意到她似乎变得越来越瘦，体重从她原本娇小的身材上不断减轻。上周末，当这些关注者开始表达担忧时，迈尔斯发布了一段视频。她解释说，多年来她一直饱受严重的生殖系统问题困扰，导致经常性出血和疼痛。她最终通过手术解决了这个问题，而她的身体正在经历多年医疗创伤后的重新平衡。

迈尔斯坦言，公开讨论这些细节让她感到羞耻。她是一名喜剧演员；出血并不是她的个人品牌。但公众一直在打探她的体重，于是她如今以更纤瘦的身形出现，不情愿地解释着本不该是任何人关心的事。

这让我们几乎（但不完全）联想到爱莉安娜·格兰德。这位33,的歌手兼演员长期以来身材明显纤瘦；她在两部《魔法坏女巫》电影宣传活动中的外表引发了外界对其健康状况的担忧。但在上周五发布的音乐视频中，她看起来极度消瘦。

《花瓣》视频开头附有内容警告——视频中格兰德饰演一位对选角导演展开血腥复仇的明星——但网友们怀疑

60岁画作启发华盛顿特区地下通道上方的“平台公园”

此处的警告或许也应适用于格兰德的身体本身。我意识到，对于饮食失调者而言，厌恶与激励之间的界限极为微妙，因此请谨慎观看：

格兰德的双颊看起来凹陷。她的锁骨和上肋骨突出。她的手臂似乎完全缺乏脂肪或肌肉，只剩筋骨相连。她的双腿——我们所能看到的部分——纤细如柴。网上，我关注的一位营养师发布了一则犹豫的视频，解释道尽管她通常不会公开评论他人身体，但她将借格兰德的视频向观众普及她在诊断营养不良时所寻找的迹象——

雕塑花园重新设计 今秋重新开放

作者：莫拉·贾德基斯

在长期被围栏封闭、不对公众开放后，一个倒影池即将在大规模翻修后重新开放。不，不是那个倒影池。

这个倒影池位于赫什霍恩博物馆雕塑花园的中心，该花园将于10月31日在经过改造后重新开放。改造提升了可达性，新增了表演和沉思空间，并增加了花园的艺术展示容量。这是赫什霍恩博物馆多阶段翻修的一部分，此前已更换了建筑的混凝土外立面，下一阶段将进行内部翻修，具体开始日期尚未确定。校园复兴项目由馆长梅丽莎·丘领导，她将于本月底离任，前往纽约古根海姆博物馆担任馆长。

由艺术家兼建筑师杉本博司设计的雕塑花园翻修项目，将展出作品数量几乎翻倍至60件，并引入一个可变换的大型雕塑展览空间。项目还将拓宽花园面向国家广场一侧的入口，以吸引路人。此外，还将重新开放连接花园与博物馆广场的地下通道，游客无需再穿越杰斐逊大道。

该通道通过楼梯和隧道连接，是赫什霍恩博物馆1974年原始设计的一部分，由建筑师戈登·邦沙夫特规划。但占地1.3英亩的下沉式雕塑花园曾存在渗水问题，且面向国家广场一侧的入口在之前的翻修中被缩窄至20英尺，能见度有限——

关于爱莉安娜·格兰德外表的微妙讨论

B1版屏幕截图

神经性厌食症 / 暴食症治疗项- 目。那位营养师随后冷静地 指出，格兰德的身体——至少 可见的部分——几乎符合每一 项标准。

我们完全不知道爱莉安娜· 格兰德的情况，而且就像那 位友好的社区营养师所建议 的那样，通常最好假设人们 的身体是他们自己的事。正 如被羞辱的伊莉斯·迈尔斯 所展示的那样，有时即使我 们自认为正确，也可能完全 搞错。

但格兰德的身体虽然是她自 己的事，它如何影响我们以 及我们如何回应它则是我们 的事。格兰德不是一个网络 红人喜剧演员。她是一位享 有全球知名度的超级巨星， 高薪时尚偶像，也是年轻观 众的榜样。你看待她身体的 方式可能会影响你对自己身 体的看法，因此存在一种拉 锯：一边是“别管爱莉安娜” ，另一边则是“这到底是怎 么回事？”

如果她真的生病了，那么我 们是否应该传达这种身体不 健康，这种由剥夺伪装成魅 力的身体？如果她健康，那 么我们是否应该支持她按照 自己喜欢的方式打扮，同时 向孩子们解释大多数女性的 身体天生不会如此，除非有 什么地方出了严重问题？无 论如何，她是否欠我们一个 解释？

有趣的是，这支音乐录影带 正是对这场讨论的元评论。 在《花瓣》中，格兰德扮演 的角色一开始是一个充满希 望的新人，与一屋子其他充 满希望的新人一起参加试镜 ，却在试镜间被告知自己不 够好。每次被批评后，她的 反弹变得越来越困难，她的 微笑也带上了更持久的伤痛 。

同时，《花瓣》的歌词也承 认了她作为一名富有、著名 名人的奇怪处境。“我不是 受害者……我几乎被祝福淹 没了，”她在某一处唱道。 另一句歌词则评论道：“只 要她一直做对，心碎就不会 在天堂这里咬人”，无论是 否有意为之，都可能让人联 想到：进食障碍。

毕竟，神经性厌食症是一种 由追求完美驱动的疾病。

在音乐录影带中，格兰德饰 演的角色用电锯砍向那些苛 刻的试镜导演后，浑身血迹 地出现在等候室，其他同样 因拒绝而受挫的试镜者爆发 出感激的欢呼。

这段信息本应是女权主义的 。格兰德在此宣告评论是禁 区，有问题的是那些怀恨者 。一位试镜导演曾要求看到 “从前的你”，而她想明确表 达的是，从前的她永远不会

许多交响乐听众不了解鼓掌礼仪。解决方案是什么？

礼仪小姐

亲爱的礼仪小姐： 我去听交响乐已经有很多年了。我知道正确的交响乐礼仪是在乐章之间不要鼓掌。然而，在我看来，许多交响乐听众并不了解这一规则。这导致了一个相当尴尬的局面：大约一半的观众知道规则而不鼓掌，另一半则鼓掌——因此不可避免地在乐章之间出现了相当微弱且敷衍的掌声。

交响乐团是否应该在音乐会开始时通过公告来教育听众这一规则？或者我们应该认为这一规则已经过时，像在歌剧中为每一幕鼓掌那样在乐章之间鼓掌？

公告可以放在关于剧院被古乐器演奏者占领时该怎么办的通知之后。

请原谅礼仪小姐；她因为在没有印刷节目单的情况下尝试扫描节目单的二维码而头痛。这也是她无法确认交响乐团是否已经采纳了您的建议的原因。

朱迪丝·马丁 雅各比娜·马丁 尼古拉斯·艾弗·马丁

在1月的金球奖颁奖典礼上亮相的爱莉安娜·格兰德，长期以来身材明显纤瘦，但《花瓣》的音乐视频引发了网络评论者的担忧。

这条信息如果是由——比如——查普尔·罗恩或比莉·艾利什等其他拒绝传统审美标准的歌手传达，可能会让人感到女权主义。但当格兰德——一个曾定义审美标准的女性——从看似极度虚弱的身体发出这一信息时，这条信息似乎并不是“你们都很完美”。这条信息似乎是：“别管我，让我无需评判地自我摧残。”

我真诚地希望格兰德永远不要读到这篇或任何类似的评论。因为她处于一个不可能的境地。她对我们——一群她永远不会见面的陌生人——完全没有义务。她至少对我们——给予她事业的粉丝们——负有一些责任。

如果我们给予她的事业也是一个压力锅，导致她娇小的身躯不断减重，无论是因为疾病、压力还是社会压力呢？如果在公共领域听到关于她体型的讨论进一步损害她的健康呢？如果这些讨论能拯救他人的生命呢？

她存在于一个我们大多数人无法想象的名气平流层中，这伴随着我们大多数人永远不愿承受的压力，而她在一个多年来一直被公众消费的身体中做到这一点。

在《花瓣》引发公众担忧后，一家伦敦剧院公司宣布格兰德已退出原定于2027年出演的舞台剧《与乔治在公园的星期天》的演出。格兰德的代表告诉《人物》杂志，她将在“暂时减少曝光”后休息7个月。

关于印刷礼仪课程——许多剧院已经这样做了。

至于乐章之间禁止鼓掌的规则，她选择相信这一规则仍然可行，但很容易原谅那些因演出情感而暂时忘记规则的观众。

亲爱的礼仪小姐： 我正在从一次相当严重的感冒中恢复，我怀疑是在上次理发时感染的。在洗头时，有几位工作人员在我周围咳嗽和打喷嚏。

我接种了所有疫苗，并在乘坐飞机时佩戴口罩，但在理发时很难戴口罩。

她完成了当前的巡演。 她需要从“无休止的公众审视”中暂时休息。

这个女人一定筋疲力尽了。出于种种我们无从知晓的原因，她一定筋疲力尽了。她的身体看起来连再减1磅都承受不起。然而，我确信如果她恢复五磅或10磅，评论者们又会找到理由说她胖。

写到这里，我想起了曾经公开分享过的前模特们——当她们被称作最美丽时，其实正处于最病态的时期。那些为了达到巅峰表现而努力调整身体的芭蕾舞者，却无端被指控在洗手间呕吐。那些真正这样做的芭蕾舞者。通过GLP-1减肥后感觉棒极了的人。通过GLP-1减肥却不解为何要靠这个才能找到爱的人。蛋白质饼干。纯肉饮食。BMI是个糟糕的衡量标准。我却不知道有什么更好的标准。

作为女性，拥有身体本身就是矛盾的，而我对爱莉安娜·格兰德唯一了解的就是——她一定筋疲力尽了。

写到这里，我也想起几个月前，我决定减掉为孩子增重的最后五磅——那个孩子如今即将上幼儿园。我现在想象着自己会和女儿进行各种对话，希望她能明白：所有身体都是好的身体，食物只是食物，甜点不是道德缺失。妈妈会同样爱她，无论她体重是100磅还是400磅，但出于某种原因

亲爱的礼仪小姐：人们何时开始觉得在与宗教无关的对话中，以一种优越感宣扬自己的宗教信仰是合适的？

我数不清有多少次听到有人在完全无关的讨论中插入“我是基督徒，而且……”。我们可能在讨论购买汽车轮胎，这种情况就会发生。

我不需要知道他们的信仰。此外，这种说法劫持了“基督徒”一词的含义。

礼仪长期以来建议避免在一般性对话中插入政治或宗教话题，因为这些话题容易引发强烈情绪。

为了……健康？为了瑜伽裤？ 我不想让女儿看爱莉安娜·格兰德的新视频。我不想和她讨论该如何看待爱莉安娜·格兰德的身体，或解释我们生活在一个会关注她身体的世界。

《蜘蛛侠》创下北美影史第二佳开画成绩

— AM

来自B1版的《蜘蛛侠》

1.57亿美元 周五。制片方预测其开画周末票房将达 3.25亿美元，仍将打破第二名的纪录。该片取代了《蜘蛛侠：英雄无归》，后者于 2021. 12月开画票房为 2.6亿美元。在北美最佳开画周末榜单上，紧随其后的是《复仇者联盟3：无限战争》（2018 年票房 2.57亿美元）和《星球大战：原力觉醒》（2015 年票房 2.47亿美元）。

外界对《全新一天》的期待一直很高，该片由德斯汀·丹尼尔·克雷顿执导，制作成本据报道高达 2.25亿美元，尚不包括营销费用。但曾有担忧称，该片可能无法吸引与前作同等规模的大众观影热情，因为前作融入了前彼得·帕克扮演者托比·马奎尔和安德鲁·加菲尔德。而实际上，观众的兴趣空前高涨。《全新一天》还获得了影评人和观众的高度评价，在烂番茄网站上获得 90 percent 的好评；观众在CinemaScore上给出了“A”级评分，并在PostTrak上获得五星评价。

根据PostTrak的出口民调，购票观众以男性为主（约 61 percent），且多为年轻观众，超过一半的观众年龄在 25 岁以下。最大的观众群体年龄在 18 和 24, 之间，占比 36 percent； 27 percent 的观众年龄在 25 和 34. 之间。票房分析公司EntTelligence估计，本周末约有 2410万 人次观看了《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》。

这也是索尼影业有史以来最佳的开画成绩。

耗时多年，赫什霍恩博物馆新雕塑花园将“非常活跃”

赫什霍恩 详见B1版

“静谧之境”展出了三尊微笑人像，最初以黏土制作成微型作品，后被放大至13英尺高，并以铝材制作。艺术家的创作灵感源于2011年日本东北大地震及随后的核灾难——地震发生在其住所附近。他发现雕塑的物理创作过程帮助他应对这场悲剧带来的情感。

这一变化使其吸引力下降：疫情前，仅有约20%的博物馆访客会顺道参观雕塑花园。

此次翻新恢复了Bunshaft原始设计中的60英尺宽入口，改善了排水系统，增设了两条无障碍坡道，并提升了花园从国家广场的可见度。同时，翻新保留了Bunshaft设计的原始倒影池，并增设了一个相邻的U形水池，可在排水后转变为带座位的表演空间。

雕塑策展人安妮·里夫表示，花园的定位将“非常活跃”，作为一个“吸引人们进入的空间，包括能与空间互动、与其他雕塑作品互动并表演自己作品的艺术家”。

花园的西侧草坪将作为轮换展览空间，首展为奈良美智的三件作品。奈良美智以其大眼睛、倔强的儿童和动物画作闻名。《哨兵》

由汤姆·赫兰德主演、德斯汀·丹尼尔·克雷顿执导的《蜘蛛侠：全新起点》（Spider-Man: Brand New Day）在开画周末斩获$3.55 亿美元票房。

索尼影业动画电影集团董事长兼首席执行官汤姆·罗斯曼在声明中称赞“举世无双的汤姆·赫兰德”。罗斯曼曾因允许赫兰德出演《奥德赛》而推迟该片的制作。

关于超级英雄电影“死亡”的哀叹自《终局之战》以来便不绝于耳，其间不乏多部高调票房失利的作品，包括曾经坚不可摧的漫威影业出品的多部电影。然而，当它们成功时，效果显著，最典型的例子是《无路可回》和《死侍与金刚狼》，后者票房超过$13 亿美元。

漫威影业总裁兼《蜘蛛侠》制片人凯文·费奇在声明中表示：“这一开画成绩彰显了漫威角色的持久魅力，以及它们与全球影迷之间持续的情感联结——正如观众所见，它为未来奠定了基础。”

“这些雕塑最初都是他用手捏、推、戳和压印的黏土人像，”里夫说，“它们极具魅力。”

奈良美智的展览将持续至2027年11月。

花园的东侧将按时间顺序引导访客浏览博物馆的雕塑藏品，从奥古斯特·罗丹的巨作《加莱义民》开始。该区域将展出雕塑藏品中的多件经典之作，包括亨利·摩尔、琼·米罗和芭芭拉·赫普沃斯的作品，以及小野洋子的《华盛顿特区许愿树》——一棵因枝干宽阔而被选中的日本四照花，方便访客将愿望挂在枝头。

新作品也将轮换展出：《托纳蒂乌》，一件由墨西哥艺术家佩德罗·雷耶斯用火山岩雕刻的日晷；《庇护》，美国艺术家KAWS创作的14英尺高青铜父子像；《想你在这里》，泰国艺术家差猜·普皮亚创作的大型雕塑，展现一双脱离躯体的交叉双腿，仿佛有人躺在花园中遐想。

这些作品的背景是层叠的石墙，与赫什霍恩博物馆的混凝土野兽派风格形成鲜明对比（这一选择引发了部分文物保护者的争议）。每块石头均采自宾夕法尼亚州的采石场，由杉本博司的工作室根据美学标准精心挑选并精心排列。小径上的每块铺路石也是经过精挑细选。

“石材已成为整个项目的主题，”里夫说。杉本博司“将其用作跨越时间跨度的桥梁……石材对雕塑的演变至关重要。”

演奏音乐是我的生命，但现在更艰难了。我必须放弃吗？读者给出建议

卡罗琳·哈克斯

我们邀请读者 化身为内心的 卡罗琳·哈克斯， 回答这个问题。 以下是部分 最佳回复。

亲爱的卡罗琳：我已年近75。我是一名退休教授，也是一名职业音乐家。从3岁时，我就知道自己想演奏乐器；从11岁时，我有幸通过试奏进入一支优秀的青年管弦乐团。成年后，我全职教学，大部分时间都乐在其中。但始终带给我最大挑战、兴奋和快乐的，一直是演奏——尤其是管弦乐。

退休后，我一点也不怀念教学。随着关节炎疼痛和视力问题让管弦乐演奏变得更加困难和痛苦，我已经辞去了两个乐团的工作。我和音乐家朋友们约定：如果我们中有人不再像自己，我们会告知对方。但我的朋友们至今一言未发。

内心深处，我知道自己的技巧变慢了，也不那么可靠了。我也知道自己的思维也变慢了。我内心的一部分觉得应该辞去另外两个乐团的工作；我绝不想在演奏时不如同事们出色。

然而，这不仅仅是我的职业。它是我的身份，是带给我最大快乐的事物；它带我走遍世界，从卡内基音乐厅到欧洲。放弃会让我心碎。请帮我做出这个决定。

音乐家：如果疫情教会了我什么（作为一名同样年长的音乐家），那就是永远不要把任何一场演出视为理所当然。那段时间没有音乐的生活让我无法忍受，所以我明白你的意思，“它是我的身份。”

——音乐家

——年长的音乐同行

请不要辞职。以保罗·麦卡特尼、琼尼·米切尔、威利·纳尔逊等人为榜样。他们可能在演奏上不再那么敏捷或精准，但心灵和灵魂依然存在。说到底，在音乐创作中，这不才是最重要的吗？

音乐家：作为一名音乐家对另一名音乐家，我完全理解你的痛苦。每个音乐家都是自己最严厉的批评者。你觉得自己的技巧在下滑，也许确实如此，但请记住，你听自己演奏的次数比任何人都多。

你听到每一个错误，每一个本应是自然音的降音，每一个微小的节奏偏差。请善待自己，并坚定地回答你的问题：永远不要停止演奏，直到你无法再握住乐器。即使在职业层面，也可以在你演奏的曲目中担任辅助角色。放慢速度，但不要停止。我愿意打赌，在别人眼中，你的技巧下滑程度并不像你自己感受的那样严重。

你仍然有精力，做你热爱的事会让你保持快乐和敏锐。比放弃显然属于你的一部分更久。祝你好运！

音乐家：你的朋友可能不是最可靠的评判者，尤其是当他们不愿剥夺你生活中明显的快乐时。

为什么不问问乐团指挥或其他首席，听听他们（希望）更客观的表现评价？也许你的技巧下滑仍处于能为乐团做出贡献的水平。如果是这样，不妨与对方约定，当该离开时，你能优雅地接受他们的建议。

音乐家：音乐是艺术，而非科学。它的美不仅取决于高超的技巧，还取决于音乐家灵魂传递的情感。你参与这些最后的

脱胎于《痴迷》、《后室》和《戏剧》等电影——后者同样由赞达亚主演。

它们也在助推大片腾飞。在一个部分由势头驱动的行业中，《蜘蛛侠》因接档《奥德赛》而受益。《奥德赛》在第三个周末仅下跌了43%。该片目前在北美已斩获$3.955 亿美元票房，全球总票房达$9.114 亿美元。影片即将于8月5日在韩国、8月14日在中国、9月11日在日本上映。其制片公司环球影业也因此成为今年首家全球票房突破$40亿美元的公司，部分得益于《迈克尔》（该片由其在国际市场发行）和《超级马里奥银河大电影》。

一系列PG级影片的长线放映跻身前五名：《玩具总动员5》以$6.3百万美元位列第三，《小黄人大眼怪》排名第四，《海洋奇缘》位居第五。榜单更后段也有亮点：以$2百万美元票房位列第六的《冥界：音乐剧》超越《汉密尔顿》，成为史上票房最高的现场剧院录制影片，累计票房达$18.2百万美元。

Rentrak市场趋势主管保罗·德加拉贝迪安表示，《蜘蛛侠》效应可能助力今年夏季电影季票房首次突破$40亿美元大关——自2023年“芭本海默”夏季以来的首次，也是史上第三个票房破10亿美元的8月。

索尼影业 / 美联社

“这是电影行业史上可能最重要的一个夏季观影季，”德加拉贝迪安说。他补充道，8月“可能为年度票房收官阶段奠定前所未有的基础，并推动我们突破$100亿美元大关。”

——经验的价值

两支乐团可以成为观众的灵感来源，尤其是对特定年龄段的观众而言。你的经验和智慧也能指导并支持其他音乐家。只要力所能及，追求你的热情并无不妥。

音乐家：以这种方式演奏音乐并非保持音乐性的唯一方式。你的身份也不只是音乐家。你当然明白这一点，但有时他人的提醒会有所帮助。

你的来信中充满了放弃的内容，但我想知道是否有任何填补空白的计划。也许增加一些新事物——无论是音乐还是非音乐的——能让你享受或一直想做的事情，能减轻放弃的痛苦，并为新的冒险和新的人际关系开辟道路。

生活中有太多值得享受的事物。我希望你能找到更多、更多的方式为自己带来快乐。

音乐家：我妻子酷爱音乐，最近在临终关怀中去世，为期一年。临终关怀的一项服务是提供音乐家上门探访。每当访问音乐家开始演奏时，我妻子的脸上总会焕发光彩。我可以向你保证，外面有观众的心会为你融化，哪怕你的节奏稍慢一些。去找到他们吧。

每周，我们会邀请在线读者回答提交给卡罗琳·海克斯的现场聊天或电子邮件中的问题。新问题通常于周四发布，周一为提交截止日期。回复匿名，除非你选择公开身份，且会经过编辑以保证长度和清晰度。

巨蟹座 （6月21日-7月22日） 你对金钱从不马虎，这可能导致你与朋友、团体或金融机构发生争执。甚至可能为遗产或你应得的份额争吵。这种紧张局势会迅速消散。耐心等待，时机就是一切。

狮子座 （7月23日-8月22日） 今天是棘手的一天，因为你处于高曝光状态，意味着人们会注意到你。但你可能容易与权威人物、配偶、伴侣或亲密朋友发生冲突。冷静下来，考虑你给观众留下的印象。

处女座 （8月23日-9月22日） 今天避开有争议的话题，它们很可能升级为激烈对抗。你永远无法改变他人的观点。戴着耳机的人是最聋的。事实就是如此。保持冷静。

天秤座 (9月23日-10月22日) 今天，父母可能会与孩子发生分歧。同样，恋人之间也可能会激怒对方。有些人可能会对朋友或某个群体感到失望。这就是正在发生的事情。今天是周三的“驼峰日”。尽量以礼貌和耐心应对。

天蝎座 (10月23日-11月21日) 今天应避免与伴侣、配偶、家人和老板发生对抗，因为这些自我冲突可能会迅速升级为不愉快的局面。人们从不

摩羯座 (12月22日-1月19日) 尽量避免金钱纠纷，尤其是与孩子、恋人和其他人的纠纷，因为这只会毁掉你的一天。（你需要这个就像鱼需要自行车一样。）相反，专心工作，努力完成任务。生产力总能提升你的自尊。（你明白的。）

水瓶座 (1月20日-2月18日) 今天，伴侣、配偶、亲密朋友和家人可能会与你发生分歧。如果你卷入其中，将无法获胜。相反，深呼吸，退后一步，置身事外。明天将是愉快、务实且高效的一天！今天不要无缘无故让自己心烦意乱。

双鱼座 (2月19日-3月20日) 尽管今天如果遭到他人攻击——尤其是同事甚至敌人——你会忍不住以牙还牙，但请为自己的内心平静着想。你很重要。不要让他人的话影响你。无视他们。

伊莱亚斯在交易后

为自己的成绩辩护

金莺队总经理称球队

“处于非常好的状态” 在交易拉奇曼后

诺亚·特里斯特 美联社

在以状元签选下阿德利·拉奇曼七年后，巴尔的摩金莺队总经理迈克·伊莱亚斯于周一将这位全明星捕手交易至同区竞争对手波士顿红袜队。在此期间，巴尔的摩曾赢得一次分区冠军和一次外卡资格，但随后战绩跌破五成。

因此，伊莱亚斯被直截了当地问及，球迷凭什么相信他是带领球队走向未来成功的人选。

“虽然过去几年确实让人感觉是倒退，而且与2023年和2024年的球队相比确实有所退步，但我们组织中有很多优秀球员，”他说。“我们组织在实力、基础设施、运营的商业层面、所有权、设施等方面都有很多优势。我们现在拥有顶级的农场系统，拥有一支由许多优秀球员组成的阵容，他们签约多年。我们目前有很多有利条件。”

从长远来看，周一的交易可能对金莺队有利。根据MLB管道网的评估，他们从波士顿得到了三名排名前五的新秀。球迷普遍理解交易即将成为自由球员的球员的逻辑。但让这笔交易更难以接受的是，此前一年半的失败。

2023年，金莺队赢下了101场比赛。拉奇曼和内野手冈纳·亨德森是球队的基石，还有多名顶级新秀即将加入。即便如此，当时就有人担心巴尔的摩可能难以留住这两位明星——但当时的假设是，在周一这样的日子到来之前，球队会赢得更多比赛。然而，金莺队如今面临连续第二年无缘季后赛的危险。

“过去几个赛季并未按计划进行。存在不足，而这些最终是我的责任，”伊莱亚斯说。“但这是一项非常艰难的运动，我们不可能一直成功，当事情不顺时，我们必须继续前进。”

伊莱亚斯的语气并不像是工作岌岌可危的人。截至周二，金莺队战绩为54胜58负，仅落后美国联盟最后一个外卡名额2½场。如果伊莱亚斯认为今年必须打入季后赛，他本可以留下拉奇曼，甚至寻求增援。

不过，交易他也有理由。巴尔的摩拥有塞缪尔·巴萨洛，这位捕手签约长期合同，且比拉奇曼年轻七岁。这种交易——利用关键位置的冗余来换取其他方面的帮助——正是金莺队

角卫位置寻求改进

在指挥官队训练营，

一批防守后卫获得 展示机会

塔尚·里德

角卫去年是华盛顿指挥官队的主要弱点。 随着训练营的进行，这一位置在2026赛季前仍是一个问号。

2025年，防守组每次传球被推进7.1码（NFL倒数第二），并被达阵33次，与联盟并列第三多。防守前线的漏洞、安全卫的表现不佳以及可被利用的线卫都应承担部分责任，但角卫们也未能帮助华盛顿队。

“如果你想有朝一日解说MLB或其他比赛，你得接受现实。有时候，这意味着周末要去看空气吉他锦标赛。”

热爱解说比赛

作者：诺亚·怀特

这项准备工作与他以往的任何经历都不同：模糊的YouTube视频、徒劳的谷歌搜索和杂乱无章的记录簿。经过数小时收效甚微的努力，杰夫·麦卡拉格决定“放手一搏”。再多的研究也无法让他为这份新年前夜的解说工作做好准备——他已经在兴奋中后悔答应了这份工作。

“我本可以和家人共度时光，”他回忆当时的想法。

然而，身为金融顾问兼兼职解说员的麦卡拉格，将在球落下的时刻为ESPNU解说美国玉米洞联盟的比赛。如今回首，那场比赛远非他经历过的最离奇的解说。

在那些MLB赛季结束后的微弱时刻与“体育中心”最早的播出时间之间，各大电视频道的节目空档被另一个体育领域填满，其中以ESPN最为突出。想象一下口香糖吹泡泡比赛、Excel锦标赛，以及最能治愈失眠的——玉米洞比赛。

每年一度，这些“运动”会在《The Ocho》节目中摆脱午夜时分的束缚。ESPN的年度冷门体育马拉松节目将在8月连续数日不间断播出各种稀奇古怪的比赛。今年是该节目十周年，从本周四至周日，将有741.5小时的节目内容——从柯基犬赛跑到“死亡跳水”——充实ESPN的频道。这是对美国“四大”体育无休止循环的年度喘息。

详见B11版《解说员》

然而，在休赛期并未大张旗鼓补强阵容的情况下，总经理亚当·彼得斯选择与马肖恩·拉蒂莫尔分道扬镳，并签下了数名短期老将。最新签约的是法比安·莫罗，他于周二签约，以填补阿克洛·威瑟斯庞突然退役的空缺。威瑟斯庞尽管在周一的比赛中获得了首发机会，却突然决定退役。

彼得斯将大部分资源用于加强防守前线。虽然这应有助于改善传球防守，但角卫仍需能够坚持足够长的时间，让冲传手有机会完成任务。

在整个训练营期间，角卫一直是指挥官队的轮换位置。阿米克·罗伯逊和迈克·塞恩里斯蒂尔在外侧获得了最多的出场时间，但教练组也开始让拉苏尔·道格拉斯与首发阵容一起训练。

有时，他们甚至会在同一回合中轮换角卫。

“丹·奎因一直强调竞争，”罗伯逊上周表示，“这正是我们想要的。”

莫罗在上赛季为明尼苏达维京人队效力时，在防守协调员达龙特·琼斯手下打满了17场比赛，但自2023年以来未曾首发。周二他仅参加了个人训练，但将逐步融入团队训练。

整体而言，后防线在训练营中表现出色。传球冲击有效加快了四分卫的节奏，同时他们在防守覆盖方面也表现稳健。

斜肌拉伤让强击手休战 困境持续

作者：丹妮尔·阿伦塔克

费城——在交易截止日后，华盛顿国民队已经面临艰难的处境，他们的最佳先发投手福斯特·格里芬，以及两名顶级击球手柯蒂斯·米德和小路易斯·加西亚被交易至其他球队。

如果这还不足以打乱他们的节奏，那么两届全明星球员詹姆斯·伍德周二因左侧斜肌拉伤进入伤病名单。球队希望这只是短暂的休战，但斜肌损伤难以捉摸，击球需要能够无痛旋转。此外，他们还必须在主场面对费城费城人队——这支球队在截止日通过引入三届打击冠军路易斯·阿拉埃斯变得更加强大。

在所有这些因素的影响下，结果可想而知：国民队周二以5比0输掉比赛，将连败纪录延长至七场，战绩跌至55胜60负，落后胜率5成五场，追平赛季最差纪录。

“影响很大。我不会坐在这里说这没有影响到任何人，”右投手扎克·利特尔说，他在6又2 / 3局的比赛中失掉四分。“这很糟糕。没有人想这样输球。但与此同时，我宁愿现在输，而不是在九月，因为我们还有时间打球，扳回一些比赛。”

但为了让九月的比赛变得有意义，国民队需要比周二表现得更好。华盛顿仅有五支安打，费城人先发投手赫苏斯·卢萨多投出八局无失分。

即使国民队成功上垒，也无法将跑者送回本垒。这已成为本次客场之旅的一贯主题：他们周二在得分位置有跑者时0投11无功，八场客场之旅进行到第六场时仅3投45。

“我想现在他们正在经历这个阶段，”主教练布莱克·布特拉说。“他们知道我们现在处于什么境地。他们知道我们现在表现不佳。他们知道排名在变化……对于这样一支年轻的球队，有时需要多一点——无论是动力还是教练组的交流，来继续做好自己的事情。”

布特拉表示，球队一直在不同位置组进行这些交流。CJ·艾布拉姆斯（五支安打中的两支来自他）表示，他一直在努力激励队友。利特尔说，他和其他一些老将一直在劝说队友，他们需要继续出场并努力训练。

“我知道感觉就像天要塌下来一

马里兰州将公布2027年普瑞克尼斯赛马日期

马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔（民主党）和马里兰赛马俱乐部将于周三公布2027年普瑞克尼斯锦标赛的日期。

外界一直猜测，普瑞克尼斯赛马可能会从肯塔基德比赛后的两周推迟至三周，以吸引更多参加三冠王首战的马匹参与第二站比赛。金色节奏（Golden Tempo）成为连续第二个、五年内第三个未参加普瑞克尼斯赛马的德比冠军。

但贝尔蒙特锦标赛明年仍将于6月的第一个周六举行，这可能会让压缩的赛程问题至少再持续一个三冠王赛季。比赛将重回贝尔蒙特公园，定于6月5日举行，作为新的三岁马冠军系列赛的一部分，该系列赛包括德比、贝尔蒙特以及夏季甚至初秋的比赛。

至少在2027年，这一系列赛并不包括第152届普瑞克尼斯赛马，该赛事计划在巴尔的摩皮姆利科赛马场举行，此前曾在劳雷尔公园临时举办一届。官员表示，新皮姆利科赛马场的全面重建预计将于2028年春季完工。

两名国际足联官员否认因凡蒂诺的计划

作者：格雷厄姆·邓巴

日内瓦——两名国际足联高级官员——教练界传奇人物阿尔塞纳·温格和类似首席执行官的秘书长马蒂亚斯·格拉夫斯特伦——周二与他们的上司詹尼·因凡蒂诺未能实现的20亿美元计划保持距离，该计划旨在将未来世界杯利润的股份出售给私人投资者。

温格在一份声明中表示，他对这项20亿美元的计划一无所知，并称“绝对有必要”放弃该提议。格拉夫斯特伦向所有国际足联员工发送了一封电子邮件（美联社获悉），称过去一周是“一系列令人悲伤和应受谴责的事件”。他还表示，这造成了“难以理解和接受的混乱”。

他写道：“一系列令人悲伤和应受谴责的事件——幸而以FFE项目被永久放弃告终——尽管我们对此感到沮丧，但不应掩盖这一现实。”

两人均未直接点名因凡蒂诺，也未对这位如今身陷困境的主席表示支持。

周二晚间，英国媒体报道称，因凡蒂诺将于周三在摩洛哥与国际足联高层举行危机会议，但该管理机构尚未确认此事。

温格和格拉夫斯特伦的言论与国际足联首席运营官凯文·拉穆尔上周五的直接批评如出一辙。拉穆尔表示，员工被因凡蒂诺的私募股权计划“欺骗”，该计划在全球足坛引发了轩然大波。他称其为“一个人的项目”，并表示国际足联员工“理应得到比蔑视和恐吓更好的对待”。

这三位高管在211个国际足联成员协会中备受尊敬和信任，他们如今对因凡蒂诺主席职位的掌控力构成影响。此前，因凡蒂诺在7月世界杯结束后的地位看似不可动摇。

温格、格拉夫斯特伦和拉穆尔还被列入欧洲足联律师致因凡蒂诺的一封信中，信中提及了18名高管——

温格否认参与私募投资提案

格拉夫斯特罗姆哀叹“动荡”

其数据和通信应被保留作为潜在证据。

“你们无需担忧，”格拉夫斯特罗姆周二在致信数百名主要驻扎在苏黎世和佛罗里达州科勒尔盖布尔斯的国际足联员工时写道。“我向你们保证，作为行政团队的一员，你们将在我们当前经历的政治背景下得到保护和维护。”

温格于2019年被因凡蒂诺聘用，担任国际足联全球足球发展主管，他表示自己“并未参与这一战略计划，首次得知该项目是通过媒体报道”。

因凡蒂诺在周六凌晨撤回了其200亿美元的提案，此前全球足球官员——包括警告将抵制所有国际足联赛事和活动的欧洲足球机构欧足联——强烈反对。

该计划本将创建一个名为“国际足联前进企业”（FFE）的子公司，负责运营这家非营利性足球机构的盈利业务：组织世界杯等赛事，并销售转播权、赞助权、门票和接待服务。

“撤回该项目的决定绝对必要且无可置疑，因为我坚信一个独立的国际足联应以承诺、透明和正直的态度服务于我们的运动，”温格写道。

因凡蒂诺在7月19日世界杯决赛后仅一周便向国际足联管理层分享了该项目的细节。这场在北美举办的赛事推动国际足联在2023-26商业周期的收入达到150亿美元——几乎是2022年卡塔尔世界杯收入的两倍。

格拉夫斯特罗姆自与因凡蒂诺在欧足联共事以来一直是其忠实助手，他呼吁国际足联员工“继续为首届48支球队的世界杯感到自豪和快乐”。

由詹尼·因凡蒂诺领导的国际足联被指控扣留其约旦国家队的奖金，形同敲诈。

阿里王子表示，他领导的约旦足协至今仍未收到应得的奖金，该奖金原本应在2022年12月于卡塔尔举行的国际足联阿拉伯杯决赛后发放。

阿里王子在社交媒体发文称，在约旦于6月首次亮相世界杯期间，他被告知“如果支持因凡蒂诺，将大有助于我们足协的发展”……

自周六凌晨国际足联发表声明宣布撤回该提案后，因凡蒂诺尚未公开回应足球界的分裂。其官方Instagram账号已发布多个成员协会的支持信函，包括2030年世界杯联合主办国摩洛哥、卡塔尔和阿拉伯联合酋长国。

因凡蒂诺担任国际足联主席已逾7年，他似乎确信将在2025年3月于摩洛哥举行的选举中无对手连任。国际足联已设定11月18日为潜在挑战者的报名截止日期，瑞典足球领导人周一表示，欧足联正寻求推出一名竞争候选人。

四名来自世界杯举办城市的高管在匿名条件下告诉《The Athletic》杂志，国际足联管理层曾告知他们，每个城市将获得100万美元的“遗产”资金，用于建设迷你球场并支持其城市的“社会项目”。

这与因凡蒂诺在公开宣布中承诺的2025年俱乐部世界杯主办城市将获得的金额相同。

克利夫兰WNBA球队确定队名：塞壬

克利夫兰WNBA扩军球队在确定队名时有三个优先考虑：队名必须具有独立身份，不与NBA骑士队相关；需要与伊利湖产生联系；球迷希望队名具有进步意义。

克利夫兰塞壬队认为他们在火箭球馆举行的活动中发布队名和品牌时，已实现了这三个目标。

WNBA的第16支球队将于2028年开始比赛。克利夫兰曾在1997赛季拥有联盟的原始球队之一，但摇滚者队于2003年解散，当时所有者戈登·冈德未能找到新买家。

自2005年以来一直拥有骑士队的丹·吉尔伯特的Rock娱乐集团，为克利夫兰重返WNBA支付了2.5亿美元的扩军费。

队徽以塞壬形象为特色，位于队名下方。队名标志中的“S”还隐藏了“CLE”字样。两种蓝色灵感来自伊利湖和摇滚者队的队徽。

乌鸦队与弗劳尔斯达成续约协议

美联社

据一位知情人士透露，巴尔的摩乌鸦队与两届职业碗外接手扎伊·弗劳尔斯达成了一份为期四年、价值1.4亿美元的合同续约协议。

这位知情人士周二在匿名条件下向美联社透露了这一消息，因为合同条款尚未公布。该协议包含1.08亿美元的保障金额，是对弗劳尔斯的重大承诺。弗劳尔斯在上赛季接球86次，推进1,211码，并贡献了5次达阵。

乌鸦队在2023年首轮选中了他，这位身高5英尺9英寸的灵活接球手凭借其速度迅速成为球队的重要一员。他已连续两个赛季成为四分卫拉马尔·杰克逊的首要目标，实现了连续两个1,000码赛季。

“这是乌鸦队的伟大一天。向扎伊·弗劳尔斯致敬，”巴尔的摩主教练杰西·明特说。“作为教练，没有什么比看到这些球员得到他们应得的更让人高兴的了。我为扎伊感到由衷高兴，并期待他在我们的进攻体系中大放异彩。”

l 猎鹰队：亚特兰大与比詹·罗宾逊达成了一份延长至2030赛季的三年合同续约，使这位第四年球员成为NFL身价最高的跑卫。

据一位知情人士透露，这份续约协议最高可达7500万美元，其中包含激励条款，5100万美元为保障金额。

“这个位置的竞争非常激烈，”主教练丹·奎因在谈到特雷·阿莫斯对位的角卫位置时表示。

“这个位置的竞争非常激烈，”奎因说，“需要一些时间才能完成人选确定。”

来自B7版 角卫仍是首要关切

阿米克·罗伯逊体重183磅，但他运动能力出众，身体素质过硬，技术扎实，且有在关键时刻完成抢断的能力。他的表现符合指挥官队在今年休赛期与他签下两年1500万美元合同的预期。

“在阿米克成为指挥官队成员之前，最让我印象深刻的就是他那种不懈的竞争性打法。他是一条真正的狠角色，”奎因在3月表示。“他肩上扛着一股不服输的劲儿，随时准备战斗。我认为这正是‘我们’的态度和锐气。

“阿米克这种球员拥有的韧性和态度，正是我所欣赏的战斗精神……他不仅能提升角卫的水平，还能带动接球手，以及训练方式。所有这些，当你置身于这种竞争舞台时，都能让[所有人]更上一层楼。”

当华盛顿启用镍卫阵型时，赛恩里斯蒂尔通常会移至该位置。指挥官队偶尔还会使用三安全阵型，由安全卫尼克·克罗斯或关·马丁担任槽位防守者。

如果赛恩里斯蒂尔无法赢得外侧首发位置，他似乎将在镍卫位置找到归属。上赛季指挥官队让他担任镍卫时表现不佳，但他们希望在琼斯的体系下，他能带来更好的表现。

从本质上看，指挥官队在外侧角卫位置上有四人竞争一个席位，分别是罗伯逊、赛恩里斯蒂尔、道格拉斯和莫罗。这是因为二年级角卫特雷·阿莫斯

这份合同的基本价值为6680万美元，使罗宾逊的平均年薪达到2230万美元，成为联盟身价最高的跑卫。费城老鹰队明星跑卫赛昆·巴克利的平均年薪为2060万美元……

外线卫贾隆·沃克在训练中左腿受伤后被抬下场。

沃克无法在腿上施加任何重量，在被搀扶下推车后被送进更衣室。

l 熊队：明星右截锋达内尔·赖特与芝加哥签订了续约合同。

熊队在宣布这笔交易时表示“‘赖特截锋’将留在这里”。这是一份为期四年、价值1.16亿美元的合同，一位知情人士告诉美联社。该协议包含9300万美元的保障金额。

这份合同是NFL历史上右截锋获得的最大合同，并包含进攻内锋有史以来最高的保障金额，据ESPN报道。

黑豹队： 卡罗来纳2024年首轮新秀泽维尔·莱格特（Xavier Legette）在尝试接球时腾空落地姿势不当，导致臂丛神经损伤（stinger injury），被抬下场。

臂丛神经损伤会影响上臂、颈部或肩部的神经，通常会让球员手臂和手部产生灼烧感。大多数此类损伤会迅速恢复，但部分症状可能持续数周或数月。

阿莫斯（Amos）将在康复后随时顶替首发位置。他目前仍在身体无法参赛（PUP）名单上，继续康复去年新秀赛季末因腓骨骨折而结束的伤势。他仍有软组织酸痛的后遗症，导致无法出场，但将在周四重新评估。

阿莫斯新秀赛季表现稳健。他完成了6次传球防守，仅被对手达阵1次，但被传球完成率高达71.1%（在所有符合条件的球员中排名第177位），每次传球推进8.3码（排名第189位），数据来自Pro Football Reference。尽管他拥有教练青睐的身材和运动天赋，但仍需证明自己能将所有能力整合发挥。

与此同时，球队关注的焦点在于另一侧的首发位置争夺战。这一人选可能要到常规赛第1周前才会确定。

其他训练营观察

以下球员未参加训练： 左截锋拉里米·图恩西尔（Laremy Tunsil，休息，据一位不愿透露姓名的知情人士称）、中锋尼克·阿莱格雷蒂（Nick Allegretti，小腿）、右护锋萨姆·科斯米（Sam Cosmi，未公开原因）、近端锋约翰·贝茨（John Bates，腿筋）、防守端迪特里希·怀斯（Deatrich Wise，股四头肌）、防守端多伦斯·阿姆斯特朗（Dorance Armstrong，前十字韧带）、防守端德雷克·杰克逊（Drake Jackson，未公开原因）、阿莫斯及弃踢手特雷斯·韦（Tress Way，胸肌）。

牛仔队： 达拉斯近端锋普林斯顿·凡特（Princeton Fant）因周一训练营膝盖受伤赛季报销。

凡特前十字韧带撕裂，内侧副韧带部分撕裂，将在未来几周内接受手术，主教练布莱恩·肖滕海默（Brian Schottenheimer）表示。凡特在牛仔队首次全装备训练中被阻挡后向后撞上跑卫以色列·阿巴尼坎达（Israel Abanikanda），左腿膝盖对膝盖受伤。

包装工队： 绿湾的米卡·帕森斯（Micah Parsons）尚不确定何时能获准参加本赛季NFL比赛，但这位全明星级边锋警告对手，要为他因长期缺阵而积累的挫败感做好准备。

帕森斯自上周包装工队开启训练营以来首次接受记者采访，明确表达了自己的动力。他目前仍在身体无法参赛（PUP）名单上，正从去年12月结束其在包装工队首个赛季的左膝前十字韧带撕裂中恢复。

“人们担心的是我是否会复出。但我认为他们更该担心的是我复出后的状态，”帕森斯说，“比如，人们担心膝盖，但他们更该担心我回归后的表现。愤怒、挫败感，以及我将如何宣泄这些情绪，因为我已经很久没有比赛了。”

这是他自训练营开始以来首次缺席训练。Geoff Burke / IMAGN IMAGES

阿莱格雷蒂的伤势引发了指挥官队中锋位置深度的担忧。他职业生涯中非常耐战——自2020,以来仅缺席1场比赛——但仍需有替补球员随时待命。

指挥官队已将这一任务交给朱利安·古德-琼斯（Julian Good-Jones），他自2020年进入联盟以来仅出场1次。昆恩（Quinn）认为古德-琼斯在周一首次全装备训练中承担了大部分首发中锋的任务，表现出色。

“我们对他非常有信心。 他是那种真正付出努力的球员，”奎因说。 “他的身体更强壮了……他绝对是一个有使命感的球员。”……

华盛顿指挥官队的首发进攻线简化阵容包括：安德鲁·怀利担任左截锋，克里斯·保罗担任左护锋，古德-琼斯担任中锋，特伦特·斯科特担任右护锋，乔希·科纳利 Jr.担任右截锋。在部分进攻回合中，布兰登·科尔曼替换了保罗。……

指挥官队于周二开始了训练营的下一阶段，该阶段包括在团队训练期间进行更长的进攻回合。此前，他们主要专注于红区训练。……

随着场地开放，防守方花费了更多时间使用镍防守阵型。桑尼·斯泰尔斯和弗兰基·卢夫作为内线卫花费了最多时间，K’拉冯·蔡森和奥达菲·奥韦担任外线卫。在安全卫位置，杰里米·里夫斯和克罗斯是最常用的组合。

扎克·利特尔在62又3分之2局中丢掉4分，华盛顿国民队（55胜60负）遭遇七连败。

国民队详情见B7版 连败的国民队被费城人零封

“目前正处于低谷，”利特尔说。“这支球队依然很强大。”

周二，费城人队在比赛早段便掌控了局势。在第一局，卡森·帕姆奎斯特作为国民队的开场投手，特雷亚·特纳击出一垒安打，布莱斯·哈珀获得保送。阿拉耶斯在加盟新球队的首个打席中击出一分打点的一垒安打，使费城人队以1-0领先。这也让帕姆奎斯特提前退场，比国民队预期的时间要早得多。

原定负责大部分比赛投球的利特尔让亚历克·博姆击出双杀打，结束了第一局。但两局后，利特尔再次陷入困境。特纳再次击出一垒安打，哈珀再次获得保送。阿拉耶斯随后击出一记滚地球，躲过了一垒手安德烈斯·查帕罗的扑救。特纳得以跑回本垒，哈珀推进至三垒，阿拉耶斯则上到二垒。

在同一局中，两人随后得分，哈珀通过牺牲高飞球得分，阿拉耶斯则通过布兰登·马什的二垒安打得分。这使费城人队以4-0领先，并在第七局将比分扩大至5-0。国民队几乎未能组织有效反击，费城人队轻松保持领先。

赛前，布特拉转达了伍德将进入伤病名单的消息，并表示国民队需要展现韧性，采取“下一个站出来”的心态，才能奋起反击。

金莺队详情见B7版 交易反映出曾经出错的蓝图

或许几年前就该更多地利用这一点，当时他们在大联盟和小联盟拥有丰富的击球资源，但投手资源不足。

巴尔的摩仅用拉奇曼换来了一名大联盟球员——捕手卡洛斯·纳瓦埃斯。金莺队再次不得不向球迷推销小联盟新秀。上一批年轻天才并未完全兑现承诺。拉奇曼在2025年表现低迷，亨德森今年也状态不佳。杰克逊·霍利迪、科尔顿·考泽和科比·梅奥在打击端均遇到困难。投手格雷森·罗德里格斯因伤病无法保持健康，最终被交易，换来了泰勒·沃德仅4个月的使用权。（这名外野手是即将成为自由球员，也于周一被交易。）

巴尔的摩自1983年以来未能赢得美联冠军。这支以“金莺之道”闻名的球队自那时起长期表现平平——这一问题早在伊莱亚斯到来之前就已存在。2018年11月他加盟时，球队在当年输掉115场比赛后已经开始重建。

“当时我们在组织内部有很多工作要做。我们完成了这些工作，并在一段时间内——2023年我们赢下了100场比赛——拥有了一个共识度极高的农场系统和一个看起来处于历史性强势地位的核心阵容，”伊莱亚斯说。“回顾过去，我认为在某种程度上，我个人

---

不过，这些情况都没有发生。顶替伍德担任首棒的迪伦·克鲁斯（Dylan Crews）0打4。接替加西亚担任一垒手的查帕罗（Chaparro）两次被三振出局。顶替米德担任三垒手的布雷迪·豪斯（Brady House）虽然贡献了国民队五支安打中的一支，但未能产生任何实质价值。

“现实情况是，我们目前没有看到太多球员挺身而出，因为我们现在的表现并不好，”布特拉（Butera）说，“当球队整体表现不佳时，很难有人能站出来成为那个关键人物。”

注：伍德在周一晚对费城人队6比3失利的比赛第七局上半局挥棒时受伤。他最初仍留在场上，因为跑动和投掷感觉尚可，但当他尝试挥棒时，感觉有些不对劲。

伍德周二接受了核磁共振检查，结果显示肌肉拉伤。国民队希望这只是短暂进入伤病名单（IL）的情况。

“听到结果时我其实挺高兴的，”布特拉说，“每次有球员在挥棒时感到身体一侧不适，我见过的大多数情况结果都不太好。有些人因为斜肌拉伤缺阵三四个月……所以听到医生说必须仔细查找才能发现问题，这其实是件好事。”

安德鲁·平克尼（Andrew Pinckney）从3A级罗切斯特队被召回，以顶替伍德。平克尼的首次亮相将是他的大联盟首秀。

这次召回已等待许久。平克尼在2023年大联盟选秀第四轮被选中，自2024赛季中期起一直效力于红翼队。他目前的打击率为.271，OPS（上垒加长打率）为.770，且能胜任外野三个位置。

“他赢得了这个机会，他是个很棒的人，也很努力，”伍德说，“显然我会为他加油，也为他感到非常兴奋。”

金莺队在周一的交易中从波士顿红袜队获得了后者排名前五的三名新秀，以换取2019年选秀状元、捕手阿德利·拉奇曼（Adley Rutschman）。

……陷入了关于重建的叙事中。棒球是非常谦卑的运动，发展并非线性，情况会发生变化，我们在伤病方面运气不佳。我们遭遇了很多伤病，也经历了退步，情况发生了转变。我们曾在2023年和2024年战绩下滑，但组织的健康状况和人才储备让我们重新找回了方向。我们需要继续调整和进化，竞争非常激烈，但未来是光明的，我认为现在就已经开始了。

“我们在组织健康状况、组织内的人才、球员和体系方面都处于非常好的位置，”埃利亚斯（Elias）说，“我们需要变得更好，需要继续调整和进化。我们的竞争非常、非常激烈，但我对目前的状况感到满意。我们走到这一步的方式与过去几年有所不同，因为过去几年我们的战绩从2023年和2024年的水平逐步下滑。但未来是强劲的，我认为现在就已经开始了。”

拉奇曼时代后首战以奥斯胜利开局

作者：迈克尔·豪斯

巴尔的摩——在交易掉球队门面阿德利·拉奇曼（Adley Rutschman）24小时后，巴尔的摩金莺队面临选择：是让周一交易截止日的情绪持续发酵，还是翻开新篇章。

他们选择了后者，以3比1击败洛杉矶天使队，为本赛季最后50场比赛开了个好头。左投凯德·波维奇（Cade Povich）周二被召回填补迪恩·克雷默（Dean Kremer）周六被交易后留下的先发轮换空缺，与前金莺队员格雷森·罗德里格斯（Grayson Rodriguez）展开对决，投出六局无失分，并创下赛季新高的七次三振。

波维奇自5月7日以来首次为巴尔的摩队先发，仅被击出七支安打和一次保送，让金莺队（55胜58负）有理由相信他能帮助填补先发轮换的空缺。金莺队还启用了捕手卡洛斯·纳瓦埃斯（Carlos Narváez），他也是拉奇曼交易的一部分。

周一从华盛顿国民队交易而来的克里斯蒂安·富兰克林（Christian Franklin）完成大联盟首秀，并在首个打席几乎立即产生影响，第三局首打席获得保送。四个打席后，皮特·阿隆索（Pete Alonso）击出一垒安打，帮助巴尔的摩队以2比0领先。

天使队在第八局上半局威胁巴尔的摩队的领先优势，安德鲁·基特里奇（Andrew Kittredge）登场。诺兰·沙努埃尔（Nolan Schanuel）从二垒跑回本垒，因克里斯蒂安·恩卡纳西翁-斯特兰德（Christian Encarnacion-Strand）未能在三垒处理沃恩·格里森（Vaughn Grissom）的滚地球，但莫伊塞斯·巴列斯特罗斯（Moisés Ballesteros）随后两个打席内击出地滚球，化解了威胁。

泰勒·奥尼尔（Tyler O’Neill）在下半局用本赛季第八支本垒打——一记代打一垒安打——将巴尔的摩队的领先优势扩大至两分。

高尔夫花絮

他将永远拥有巴黎：杰拉德在旋风般的一年里成为环球旅行者

作者：道格·弗格森

这不过是英国公开赛后 与母亲一起度假，但没有 比巴黎更好的地方能让 瑞安·杰拉德想起这七个 月来生活发生了多大变化。

回想去年12月倒数第二 周，杰拉德赛季休息刚满 一个月，世界排名第57位， 飞越半个地球来到毛里求斯 这个小岛，争取以世界前50 的成绩结束这一年。

他失利于延长赛，但排名 升至第46位，确保了参加 大师赛的资格。回程航班 在巴黎有长时间停留，足够 他参观巴黎圣母院、凯旋门 和埃菲尔铁塔。 “那天感觉太棒了，”他说。

杰拉德今年开局连续获得 亚军。他获得了美国公开赛 和英国公开赛的参赛资格， 在纪念赛延长赛中失利，目前 以联邦快递杯第16名的成绩 进入温德姆锦标赛，目标是 晋级巡回赛锦标赛。

他的母亲来到皇家伯克戴尔 球场，杰拉德在那里并列第9， 之后他们前往巴黎度过了3天。 杰拉德平时在高尔夫之外 鲜少认真对待其他事情，这次 却开始了一场不同寻常的搜寻， 要找到“最糟糕的雕像”。

“有很多随机的雕像，”他说。 “卢浮宫里有一尊小孩掐死鸭子 的雕像——完全是裸背锁喉。 所以我觉得很快就找到了。”

那应该是《手持

那些解说“几乎算是体育”的播音员们

来自B7频道的播音员

“但这实际上是一份有价值的工作，”麦卡拉格说。“在多个方面都是：我们在做人们珍视的事情，即使他们并不完全了解这一点。而且，老实说，体制就是这样运作的。如果有一天你想解说MLB或其他赛事，你得从能得到的机会开始。

“有时候，这意味着你得在周末花时间观看空气吉他锦标赛。”

主流电视网络那些观众寥寥的节目，这些被美化的填充内容，长期以来一直是有抱负的播音员的试炼场。奇怪的工作时间，甚至更奇怪的体育项目，以及一些固定合同工每年仅$25,000的报酬，提供了宝贵的实践机会和无可辩驳的希望。然而，那些最冷门的体育解说工作——播音员可能更多是为了寻找个人意义而非前景——仅存在了几十年。而直到过去10年，它们才真正进入主流意识。

“谁会想到要解说这个，”麦卡拉格最近在为7月的ACL世界锦标赛做准备时说，“一定是脑子有问题。”

“我们得播点什么”

ESPN成为第一家在1980.实现24小时连续播出的体育专业电视网。唯一的问题？美国主流体育项目在深夜并无比赛。

于是，它开始转播替代性体育赛事。踢拳、保龄球和澳式橄榄球（我们记得你，悉尼天鹅队）让位于慢投垒球，并逐渐发展出更多小众节目。

“人们喜欢这类节目，”Tupelo Raycom的制作副总裁汤姆·卡瓦诺说，该公司制作ESPN的ACL节目。“观众规模永远不会很大，但它独特且有忠实受众。这有助于提供丰富的体育资源，让每个人都能找到自己喜欢的内容……而且我们得播点什么，对吧？”

他的公司从2017,年开始与美国顶级玉米洞联盟ACL合作，当时ESPN迅速将这项运动打造为《八号频道》的核心内容。3.年后，当新冠疫情导致体育赛事停摆时，玉米洞运动趁势而起。

“我们本来就天然保持社交距离，”麦卡拉格说。“因此，玉米洞理所当然成为最先复播的项目。那个夏天，我们每周末在ESPN平台上获得了4小时的播出时间。这简直是天赐良机。”

另一项赛程安排

PGA巡回赛计划在2028年赛季结束时的巡回锦标赛上公布其双层赛程的更新。但在此过程中，它不断透露一些细节。

最新消息于周二公布，与上周的两次公告一样，并不令人意外。巡回赛表示，2028.年在特朗普多拉尔举行的凯迪拉克锦标赛将成为顶级锦标赛系列的一部分。其在赛历中的具体位置尚未确定。

多拉尔今年被增设为一项签名赛事——卡梅隆·杨轻松击败斯科蒂·舍夫勒和其他选手——在一场观众稀少的比赛中，该赛事于5月3.日结束。它将于2027年移至3.月的第一个完整周，成为佛罗里达挥杆赛的开幕战。

上周，巡回赛宣布7月27日旅行者锦标赛将成为顶级锦标赛系列的一部分。次日，它宣布为一项锦标赛系列赛事找到了新赞助商（Sompo）。7月29,多利松的哨兵赛被宣布为顶级赛事，7月30日，湾丘的阿诺德·帕尔默邀请赛也被宣布为锦标赛系列赛事。

并带有沙包投掷比赛的节奏感。其他赛事也随之而来：CBS在2022年购买了《垂钓锦标赛》——深海大型鱼类狩猎——的转播权。福克斯体育则加大了对保龄球节目的投入。

不过，电视网现在需要的是为他们凌晨2点的新节目配备解说员。各联盟通常会提供解说嘉宾，解释全玉米颗粒与塑料树脂颗粒（对不熟悉的人来说：这是沙包填充物的不同类型）及其他每项运动的细微差别。而电视网提供的现场解说搭档则需要与联盟的解说嘉宾配合，确保直播顺利进行。

卡瓦诺寻找的是那些渴望学习新事物的人。他们只需要有这份热情。

“毕竟，提升的最佳方式就是去实践，”他说，“无论你解说的是什么运动。”

弗兰克·马泽拉曾被广播学院拒之门外，后来在2004年得知密歇根家乡附近的一场投石比赛后，他主动联系询问是否需要解说员。对方起初以为是骗局，但马泽拉不求报酬，于是他们让他前来试试。几周后，他便开始现场解说（字面意思）。

2010年代初，他的工作日程不断扩展，成为披萨杂技、魔方锦标赛和“莫霍克发型”大赛的解说员。只要有人想让冷门运动登上荧屏，他就是不二人选。他的密歇根车牌穿梭于中西部各州，在汽车旅馆度过的夜晚里，他自学着那些连自己都未曾想过的概念。

“我爱上了这些古怪的东西，”他说。

ESPN以《奥乔频道》进军冷门运动领域，这个名字源自2004年喜剧电影《 Dodgeball：一个真正的失败者的故事》，片中这项运动在ESPN8：《奥乔频道》上播出。杰森·贝特曼饰演的解说嘉宾佩珀·布鲁克斯是一个夸张版的角色，类似麦卡拉格和马泽拉这样的人，他们靠填充美国最佳“准体育”（"almost sports"）节目的空档谋生，正如布鲁克斯常说的那样。

为了应对这场全新马拉松式直播的庞大规模，ESPN聘请了各地的解说员。马泽拉成为常客，不断翻阅通讯录，向这家“全球领袖”推销一个又一个创意。本周，为庆祝《奥乔频道》十周年，他将解说2026年诺克曲棍球锦标赛（一种一对一的桌面曲棍球，使用木制冰球和球杆）。

去年12月，瑞安·杰拉德前往毛里求斯这个小岛的旅行，开启了一段意想不到的奇遇，其中还包括两次法国之行。

2028年的完整赛程——包括锦标赛系列和挑战者系列——可能要到明年初才会完全确定。预计进入顶级赛事的还有在鹌鹑谷举行的Truist锦标赛和纪念赛。

接下来的问题是，还有哪些赛事将成为新PGA巡回赛日程中14或15场比赛（不包括大满贯、球员锦标赛和季后赛）的核心部分。

兰格回归本源

上周，PGA巡回赛元老赛首次来到葡萄牙，这让伯恩哈德·兰格有机会回顾自己从德国走出的历程。

杰夫·麦卡拉格（上图）已经连续七年为美国沙包投掷联盟担任解说。这远不是他经历过的最古怪的工作。

为了填补其他解说岗位，ESPN依赖卡瓦诺的体系。只要能找到有动力且愿意融入环境的人，哪怕只是作为职业跳板，他们也会进行培训。如今，大牌解说员都会有一段在偏远赛事解说的传奇经历。

“我总是惊讶于人们对这些的热爱，”马泽拉说，“这给了我一份事业。”

争夺麦克风

二十年前的一个冬天， 在堪萨斯大学上了一整天课后， 麦卡拉格在宿舍里打起了瞌睡。 他有一台别人送的旧CRT电视， 那是他离家上学时得到的，但只能收到几个本地频道。 不过是个升级版的夜灯。直到一家区域有线电视开始转播皇家队的比赛， 情况才有所改变。

球队的现场解说声渗入了他的梦中。在大四那年， 他获得了“终身难忘的工作”——加入皇家队的转播团队。 堪萨斯城的播音员们在同一条走廊里来来往往， 而麦卡拉格则负责送咖啡，并协助赛前节目。

他说，正是在那时，他决定成为一名MLB（美国职业棒球大联盟）播音员。 在接下来的九年里，他辗转于纽约大都会、纽约洋基和底特律老虎等球队的不同层级岗位。

但他的职业生涯陷入停滞，又组建了家庭， 于是麦卡拉格在2010年决定接受查尔斯顿学院的一个较小的全职角色， 担任棒球和篮球比赛的播音员。不久后，他开始从事房地产工作， 并逐步转向金融咨询。

从一名转为职业的少年，到两届大师赛冠军，再到入选世界高尔夫名人堂。

兰格在1976年欧洲巡回赛赛季开始时参加了葡萄牙公开赛，当时他只有18岁。 他的住处是从慕尼黑开来的汽车。他负担不起球童，只能用手推车。

“我当时钱很少，奖金也很低，”兰格说，“没有免费提供的车辆、练习球或食物。 一切都得自己买，自己带。仅仅从一个地方到另一个地方就极其困难， 因为我甚至租不起车，我太年轻了。”

兰格未能通过54洞的淘汰赛，随后驱车前往西班牙公开赛，

拉斯维加斯高手队赢得了ACL世界锦标赛。10岁的队长卡什·查姆尼斯（右）得以捧起奖杯。

“能帮你规划退休吗？”他开玩笑地轻叹一声。 “有时候，你必须等待梦想。这个市场会让人等待很久。”

安定下来约十年后，他仍通过与ESPN夏洛特制作公司和卡瓦诺建立的关系， 接一些地区性的工作。他的目标是保持声音的活跃， 即使他正逐渐淡出这个行业。偶尔，他会在南卡罗来纳州南端附近 帮忙转播大学棒球和垒球比赛。

在那里，他再次未能通过54洞的淘汰赛。但在第三场马德里公开赛上， 他一鸣惊人，并列第五，赢得了略高于$1,000的奖金。

“这很有挑战性，但也是全新的体验。尽管艰难，但对我来说很刺激，”兰格说。 “那个年代条件艰苦，但这反而让你更加努力去争取成功。”

他确实做到了。三年后，他赢得了首个欧洲巡回赛的40个冠军之一。 九年后，他成为大师赛冠军。如今68岁的兰格在PGA巡回赛元老组中 创下了47场胜利的新标杆。

现在，他乘飞机前往比赛，住在酒店。

科达在大满贯赛场上崭露头角

内莉·科达在赢得前两场大满贯赛后，还获得了LPGA颁发的大满贯赛事最佳表现奖。

科达和柳海兰今年各赢得了两场大满贯赛，而只有柳海兰在最后一场英国女子公开赛上 原本有合理机会夺冠，但最后两洞吞下柏忌，以74杆的成绩滑落至并列第六。 科达以68杆的成绩上升至并列第四。

这一成绩足以让她赢得基于积分的安妮卡奖，该奖项授予在大满贯赛中积分最高的冠军。

除了赢得雪佛龙锦标赛和美国女子公开赛外， 科达在女子PGA锦标赛中并列第八，并在埃维昂锦标赛中被淘汰。 柳海兰在雪佛龙锦标赛中并列第十二，赢得了女子PGA锦标赛和埃维昂锦标赛。 她未能

在一个夜晚。在秋季的周末，他常常跨越州界去观看大学排球比赛，但总能及时赶回工作岗位。后来，卡瓦诺问了他一个“奇怪的问题”。

“他问我是否了解‘玉米洞’游戏，”麦卡拉格尔说。“我回答‘当然’，但其实我一无所知。”

他和妻子凯西进行了几次长谈，讨论他的日程安排，因为低级别的广播工作需要每天工作18小时，通宵达旦，并可能破坏周末计划。再次出差时，他会更少见到家人，比如在假期期间，美国玉米洞联盟（ACL）通常会举办几场活动，甚至可能让他参与转播美国女子公开赛。

这个念头开始悄然浮现：这一切还值得吗？

进入广播行业的幕后工作需要这种内心的审视。解说牛粪投掷（干牛粪的投掷）或泡泡糖吹泡比赛可能会消磨一个在竞争激烈领域中奋力拼搏的人的斗志。然而，像鲍勃·伊根（如今是威斯康星州的牛粪投掷专家）、蒂姆·亨（Excel高手）和马泽拉（无所不知的人）这样的前辈都挺了过来。麦卡拉格尔觉得值得一试。

尽管紧张，他的首次直播表现足够出色，至今已在ACL工作了7年。几个赛季前，他接到了美国空气吉他锦标赛的邀约。在了解情况后，他告诉工作人员需要考虑一下。

额外的时间安排，加上原本就已满满当当的日程，无疑会给家庭带来更大压力。他甚至从未听说过“空气吉他”。仅是学习就需要在卧室办公室里熬上几个漫长的夜晚。

但他无法抑制这种冲动。“这就像是一个饥饿的演员，”他说，“你永远不想说不。”

于是，他坐在书桌前，打开笔记本电脑，开始输入：什么是空气吉他？几个小时后，他找到了答案。身着戏服、精力充沛的表演者及其狂热支持者的视频深深吸引了他。

民主党提名人角逐两个众议院席位

弗吉尼亚州选民投票并展望11月期中选举

莎拉·兰金（Sarah Rankin）报道 美联社

里士满——弗吉尼亚州选民周二为今年的国会期中选举提名人投票，为因民主党重新划分选区计划失败而动荡的初选季画上句号。

该州通常在6月举行初选，但今年将其推迟至8月，以配合一项经选民批准但被法院否决的提案——旨在绘制对民主党更有利的国会选区，这是全国重新划分选区斗争的一部分。

州最高法院推翻了民主党重新绘制的选区地图，该地图本可使民主党候选人有望赢得该州11个国会席位中的10个。但在法院裁决前，候选人已在预设选区展开竞选活动。5月明确选民将在自2021年起沿用的国会选区投票后，许多候选人退出竞选，其他人则匆忙转战其他选区，或在不利条件下继续参选。

一幅古画如何启发华盛顿特区地下通道上方的公园建设

项目将四车道高速公路上方的空地改造为行人广场

索菲娅·索拉诺（Sophia Solano）报道

尽管杜邦环岛的“盖顶”项目施工仅开始13个月，但其构想在某种程度上可追溯至60年前，源自一位名叫莉莉·斯潘多夫（Lily Spandorf）的艺术家。

斯潘多夫是一位1914年出生的犹太女性，在“水晶之夜”同年逃离维也纳。她后来定居华盛顿特区，并以绘制城市街景而闻名。

这一夜晚发生了。她最终来到华盛顿，并迷上了这里的欧洲风情、低矮建筑和带有塔楼的维多利亚式房屋。她在杜邦环岛安了家，每天从工作室的窗户望出去，看到康涅狄格大道下的一个地下通道向下倾斜。

但她看到的不是那条十年前为有轨电车和汽车修建的宽阔而拥堵的道路。她看到的——或者说想象的——是一个充满活力的公园，绿意盎然，喷泉流淌，人们遛着贵宾犬。她用墨水在纸上勾勒出自己的愿景，并将其命名为“康涅狄格大道林荫道”。

几十年后，她的建筑被拆除，为地铁入口腾出空间，这幅画作辗转来到房地产开发公司长期首席执行官迈克尔·凯恩手中。他的办公室就在斯潘多夫公寓曾经所在的街对面。凯恩说，迈克尔·费尔德斯坦

下令 改建直升机停机坪

争议焦点：白宫草坪坡度

总统希望在习近平访问前完工

丹·戴蒙德 彼得·W·史蒂文森

唐纳德·特朗普总统已指示承包商重新进行数周的白宫直升机停机坪工程，对其外观感到不满，并质疑是否需要改变白宫草坪的坡度。据两名要求匿名讨论其私下评论的人士透露。

特朗普将停机坪列为优先事项，下令6月开始的工程必须在9月国事访问前完工，但对结果感到不满，上述人士表示。正在修建停机坪的白宫南草坪呈下坡状。特朗普希望停机坪与地平线齐平，促使承包商拆除已完成的工程，并考虑是否从改变草坪本身开始，这些人士说。

《华盛顿邮报》周二获得的照片显示，承包商已拆除部分工程，包括一块宽达100英尺、上周刚开始成形的花岗岩总统印章。

施工队正在夜以继日地赶工，特朗普希望在9月下旬中国国家主席习近平访问前完成这一项目，《邮报》上月报道。

目前尚不清楚最新变更将为这一耗资超过5百万美元的项目增加多少额外成本或时间。该项目由洛克希德·马丁公司出资，该公司拥有制造直升机的子公司。

洛克希德·马丁周二拒绝评论是否被要求承担任何额外费用。负责该项目的克拉克建筑公司将问题转给白宫，白宫未就总统的具体变更要求发表评论。

“多年来，白宫迫切需要在白宫场地内建造一个合适的直升机停机坪，以确保总统安全降落，同时保护美丽的南草坪免受‘海军陆战队一号’强大尾气的侵蚀，”发言人戴维斯·英格尔在一份声明中说。“在特朗普总统的领导下，白宫从未如此美丽，未来还将变得更好。”

根据联邦建议，直升机停机坪应保持平整以确保安全，但不必完全水平，以确保排水。南

警务不当行为案件积压考验旨在提高问责制的法律

撰文：玛吉·特罗瓦托

《巴尔的摩太阳报》

逾800起针对巴尔的摩警员的不当行为指控正等待审判委员会审议——这一积压案件数量在今年急剧增加，现已成为马里兰州警务问责体系面临的最大挑战之一。

部分案件可追溯至2021年，导致纪律处分决定长期悬而未决，刑事司法研究人员担忧，拖延可能会削弱公众对这一体系的信心。该体系由立法者创建，旨在恢复公众对警务纪律数十年来饱受批评的信任。

“这些拖延无疑有可能损害公民信任，”马里兰大学犯罪学与刑事司法系主任罗德·布伦森表示。

不断增加的积压案件是对马里兰州《2021年警务问责法》的首次重大压力测试。该法案废除了长期受到批评的《执法人员权利法案》纪律处分程序，取而代之的是一个旨在增加平民参与和透明度的体系。

四年后，官员们一致认为，新框架在审判委员会阶段造成了瓶颈。这一阶段适用于警员对建议的纪律处分措施持有异议的情况。

根据马里兰州现行体系，不当行为投诉首先由巴尔的摩警察局进行调查。行政指控委员会随后决定是否应提起行政指控。若委员会建议处分而警员拒绝接受拟议的处罚，案件将移交审判委员会。

每个审判委员会由一名退休或行政法法官、一名由警务问责委员会任命的平民以及一名与被指控警员同级别的警员组成。

扫地机器人对付蜱虫？老自治领大学研究人员测试机器人捕食者

撰文：娜塔莉·安德森

《弗吉尼亚向导报》

《弗吉尼亚向导报》

切萨皮克讯——随着弗吉尼亚州蜱虫相关疾病的增加，一种名为“蜱虫机器人”（TickBot）的扫地机器人式技术可能成为对抗这些讨厌寄生虫的解决方案。

老自治领大学（ODU）的一个研究团队——被称为“ODU蜱虫研究团队”——已着手测试一项新技术，旨在通过使用四轮遥控机器人在不伤害周围环境或野生动物的情况下杀死蜱虫。蜱虫机器人配备了经过氯菊酯处理的布料，这种杀虫剂通常喷洒在军装和靴子上。这种化学物质是一种神经毒素，可在接触处理过的织物后45分钟内杀死蜱虫，同时对其他生物的风险极低。

“这一技术的巨大优势在于它是自成一体的，移动的车辆会吓跑大多数有益昆虫，”领导蜱虫研究团队并担任生物科学系主任的霍莉·加夫表示。“它们会从移动的物体旁飞走。”

自2012年以来，研究人员已在汉普顿路地区收集了超过350,000只蜱虫，旨在更好地了解健康风险、预防策略以及诊断和治疗方法。当前的努力正值弗吉尼亚州及美国大部分地区因蜱虫叮咬而急诊就医人数增加之际。

切萨皮克伊丽莎白社区保护区内的小径是试点项目的首批测试地点之一。研究人员还在位于朴次茅斯的霍夫勒溪野生动物保护区测试了这一技术

2020年4月17日，西巴尔的摩的一辆警方巡逻车。

截至12月，已有案件等待审理。截至7月，这一数字已超过800起，尽管官员表示该市已加快审理进度。

警方和市政官员辩称，《马里兰州警察问责法》使纪律处分程序变得更加复杂。巴尔的摩市副法律顾问斯蒂芬·萨尔斯伯里在7月的估算委员会会议上表示，建立一个全新的警察问责程序，包括新的法官和规则，需要时间。

副局长布赖恩·纳多表示，在2022年该法生效之前，警员可以在没有正式听证会的情况下协商纪律处分。

其他人则认为，更大的障碍在于日程安排。巴尔的摩警察问责委员会主席贾马尔·特纳表示，需要协调由三人组成的审理委员会、被指控的警员及其他相关方。

位于汉普顿的美国国家航空航天局兰利研究中心的TickBot模拟了典型的蜱虫采集过程，即在植被和落叶层上挥动经过氯菊酯处理的白布，许多蜱虫会在这些地方寻找宿主。研究人员依赖切萨皮克社区来测试这项技术，以便最终将其商业化，成为人们在自家后院可能使用的便捷工具。持续的研究还有助于通过研究蜱虫的习性和病原体，更好地了解其对人类构成的风险。

地面运行的机器人是理想的选择：尽管存在一个常见的误解，但蜱虫实际上生活并活动于地面，而非树上。

“从最初的小规模监测想法，发展到现在整个团队真正了解我们这片区域的情况，”加夫说，“这有点像后院的‘扫地机器人’版蜱虫。”

蜱虫叮咬对宠物和人类构成重大健康风险，可传播莱姆病、落基山斑点热和阿尔法半乳糖综合征等疾病。在弗吉尼亚州，最常见的蜱虫包括黑腿蜱、孤星蜱、美洲犬蜱和墨西哥湾沿岸蜱。

2000年代，弗吉尼亚州成为莱姆病的“主战场”，这种疾病可能导致皮疹、疲劳、头痛、发烧、肌肉和关节疼痛以及淋巴结肿大，若不及时治疗，症状会加重。落基山斑点热的症状与之类似，甚至可能致命。

另一种需要更多研究但弗吉尼亚州日益关注的疾病是阿尔法半乳糖综合征。它常被误认为食物中毒，因为

律师和证人的出席已成为一项后勤挑战。如果任何参与者无法出席，听证会必须推迟。

“必须有完美的默契，”特纳说。

索尔斯伯里也认为，日程安排已成为审判进程中的重大瓶颈。

马里兰州行政听证办公室（为审判委员会提供法官）拒绝就可能导致积压的因素发表评论。运营副主任赛耶塔·汉普顿-埃尔法官在一封电子邮件声明中表示，该机构“随时准备”安排执法机构要求的听证会，并可提供面对面、虚拟或混合形式的程序。

无论原因如何，有一点基本上没有争议：目前的听证进度未能跟上进入系统的案件数量。

会导致严重的红肉不耐受，这种反应在被蜱虫叮咬数月后出现。根据奥尔德多米尼大学和诺福克州立大学联合公共卫生学院流行病学、生物统计学和环境健康助理教授艾米丽·欧文斯·皮克尔的说法，这种反应源于蜱虫体内一种人类不熟悉的碳水化合物。

“（人们）对这种碳水化合物产生了过敏反应——这真的很奇怪，对吧？这不像我们通常看到的花生过敏或蛋白质过敏。因此，我们对其运作机制知之甚少，”皮克尔说。“有人可能被叮咬了却不知道，对吧？

“蜱虫吸血后脱落。他们不会生病，对吧？‘我没事了。’然后三个月后，他们吃了一个汉堡，出现严重腹痛，虽然没有出荨麻疹，但可能会呕吐，而且这通常发生在半夜。”

盖夫说，由于中大西洋地区的迁徙和大量白尾鹿的存在，弗吉尼亚州有许多蜱虫。蜱虫还喜欢潮湿的环境。

“它们都是非常顽强的物种，因此从生态学角度来看，这就像是为它们创造栖息地的完美风暴，”皮克尔说。

正确的蜱虫预防措施包括穿浅色衣物以便更容易发现蜱虫、将裤腿塞进袜子里、喷洒含有氯菊酯的驱蜱剂，以及为宠物使用蜱虫控制药物。研究人员建议，移除蜱虫时应使用干净的尖头镊子或蜱虫勺，夹住蜱虫的头部，然后稳定向上用力拔出。

案件涉及的内容

根据巴尔的摩市警察问责委员会的年度报告，该部门在2025财年共收到1,102起不当行为投诉。

当《巴尔的摩太阳报》要求该市公平与民权办公室提供2025财年收到投诉的巴尔的摩警察姓名清单时，该办公室提供了一份包含697起事件的清单。该清单列出了497名警察，其中部分警察收到了多达四起投诉。

弗吉尼亚海滩男子被判性虐待收养子女罪

作者：诺里·莱本格鲁布

弗吉尼亚海滩的一个陪审团认定一名寄养父亲在多年时间里对其收养的小学年龄子女实施性虐待和强奸。

在弗吉尼亚海滩巡回法院对67岁的多亚尔·理查德·乔治（Doyal Richard George）进行为期4天的审判中，陪审员听取了他收养的女儿们的证词，称他在家中对她们实施了强制鸡奸、性侵犯和强奸。

这些女性现已20多岁和30多岁，她们在法庭上作证数小时，称虐待始于她们年仅4岁时。

经过超过五小时的审议，陪审团判定乔治共12项罪名成立，包括对13岁以下及13至17,岁受害者的强奸罪、加重性侵犯罪，对13岁以下及13至17,岁受害者的强制鸡奸罪，以及监护人猥亵罪。

乔治和他的妻子塞西莉亚·乔治（Cecilia George）自1989年起，在小溪堡-斯托里联合远征基地（Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek Fort-Story）外的家中共接收了40多名寄养儿童。乔治是一名退役军人，拥有多处出租房产，其妻子则为家庭主妇。

纳多表示，内部审计显示，大多数指控涉及相对轻微的违规行为。他说，在 2023 和 2024 年提交的投诉中，约有 73% 涉及的违规行为处罚不超过五天停职。这一比例在 2025 年上升至 84%。

在马里兰州，处罚超过五天停职的违规行为包括干扰警务工作、损害部门专业形象、违反部门政策或对其他警员或公共安全构成严重风险。数据显示，巴尔的摩超过四分之三的投诉不属于此类。

纳多表示，了解投诉的具体内容有助于部门纠正行为，有时可通过额外培训实现。

孩子们经常在乔治夫妇的农场一起劳动。

多名孩子向塞西莉亚·乔治讲述了遭受虐待的情况。但根据法庭证词，她常为丈夫辩护，指责女孩们撒谎。随着女孩们长大，她们说母亲试图减少她们在无人监督的情况下与父亲相处的时间。

多年来，许多孩子对警察和社工隐瞒了遭受虐待的经历。

塞西莉亚和理查德·乔治告诉孩子们，家里发生的事要留在家里，据检方称，他们还通过身体和情感上的恐吓迫使孩子们保持沉默。

“这是她们唯一拥有的家庭，”助理联邦检察官梅根·朗说，“她们不想失去它。”

乔治否认了养女们的指控。他的律师科尔·罗伯茨向陪审团展示了全家庆祝万圣节、生日和毕业典礼的照片。

罗伯茨认为姐妹们的陈述前后不一——

尽管如此，一些研究人员警告称，不应忽视轻微投诉。

布伦森表示，涉及无礼、不尊重或程序违规的日常投诉往往会影响居民对警察合法性的判断。

他说，这些“日常侮辱”会对公众是否将警员视为合法道德权威产生深远影响。

积压案件能否解决？

官员们普遍认为积压案件可以减少，但对如何实现存在分歧。

该市已开始加快听证会进度。索尔斯伯里表示，巴尔的摩在 2026 年上半年完成了 60 场审理委员会听证，而 2025 全年仅完成 20 场。他预计随着参与者对流程更加熟悉，这一进度将继续加快。

但市政官员和问责倡导者认为，仅仅增加听证会次数可能还不够。

纳多敦促立法者修改马里兰州法律，允许警员和部门在案件自动进入审理委员会前协商处分，他认为这一变化将大幅减少所需的听证会数量。

他表示，这是其他司法管辖区也面临的问题，并指出巴尔的摩警局的积压案件更多，原因在于部门规模较大。

特纳则认为，州政府应为高案量的警务案件指派行政法官，并扩大虚拟和混合听证的使用，以便更轻松地安排日程。

布伦森表示，减少程序障碍有助于在不牺牲问责制的情况下实现更迅速、更公平的结果。

然而，目前巴尔的摩新增案件的速度仍然超过处理旧案的速度。超过800起不当行为案件尚未结案，市政官员希望州议会在明年复会时能重新审视这一问题。

这些指控与他们过去的报告以及家中其他家庭成员的陈述不符，表明虐待从未发生过。

其中几名儿童曾于2017年、2020年和2022年向警方和儿童保护服务机构报告了虐待情况。然而，他们淡化了自己的经历，并难以向调查人员说出全部真相，因为他们担心被分开并被送入集体之家，这在他们的证词中有所体现。

2022年，乔治在弗吉尼亚海滩少年及家事关系地区法院被控鸡奸、严重性侵犯和在监护期间对儿童实施不当行为——但由于这些女性尚未准备好作证，检方撤销了指控。

2026年，根据证词，其中几名女性已达到能够直面父亲并揭露其罪行的阶段。

“恐惧让秘密得以保守，而真相则将其打破，”兰恩说，“她们的沉默曾是她们的生存之道，最终她们选择站出来打破沉默。”

一位艺术家60年前构想的杜邦环岛公园

来自B13版的“平台覆盖”报道

曾在当地社区咨询小组工作的凯恩（Kain）回忆说，大约15年前的一天，费尔德斯坦（Feldstein）走进他的办公楼使用复印机。

费尔德斯坦看到斯潘多夫（Spandorf）的设计图后说：“我们来做这个吧。”

“他当时问费尔德斯坦：‘你是认真的吗？’”

不久后，他发现自己正在与哥伦比亚特区交通局（DDOT）的会议上，向十几名员工推介后来成为“平台覆盖”项目的构想。

斯潘多夫于2000年去世；费尔德斯坦于2016年去世。

DDOT预计该公园将于2027年开放。

该平台将覆盖杜邦环岛与西北区Q街之间的地下通道，增设一个适合行人的广场，杜邦环岛商业改进区（BID）计划在此举办公共活动。根据BID的数据，项目预计耗资3780万美元。

今年7月，该项目达成一个重要里程碑：支撑繁华公园的钢梁网络已完工。

由于地下通道将保留，车辆仍可沿康涅狄格大道南北向穿行于环岛下方。根据BID的介绍，广场需设置一个带网格的大型通风口。平台覆盖工程还将与街景美化项目配套，增设自行车道并升级人行道。

该公园并非旨在取代杜邦环岛这一郁郁葱葱的历史地标的功能。相反，两者将“相互融合”，各有用途，该地区当地咨询邻里委员会（ANC）代表杰夫·鲁克高尔（Jeff Rueckgauer）表示。新广场将由市政府拥有和维护，这将允许BID和非营利组织“杜邦环岛历史主街”（Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets）销售酒精饮料并允许摊贩入驻，而邻近的联邦所有环岛则不允许。

该广场将用于举办哥伦比亚特区假日市集、花卉市集，并可能扩展备受欢迎的周日农贸市场。相关团体还计划举办电影之夜、音乐会及其他活动。

斯潘伯格对民主党在弗吉尼亚州大选中的机会“乐观”

来自B13版的“选举”报道

面临党内挑战，但将在秋季进入防守状态。

民主党州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格（Abigail Spanberger）近日对记者表示，候选人们不得不比往常更长时间留在初选阶段，并在某些情况下向不同社区传递信息，这给他们带来了挑战。但斯潘伯格曾是国会议员，代表摇摆选区，她表示对民主党在大选中的机会仍持“乐观”态度，并希望弗吉尼亚州能有多达四个席位实现翻盘。

“最让我感到困扰的一点是，我认为在此过程中，人们……错误地认为我们没有重新划分选区就无法获胜。我们能赢。我相信我们会赢，”她说。

弗吉尼亚州民主党希望让共和党现任议员陷入防守

目前，弗吉尼亚州在联邦众议院由6名民主党人和5名共和党人代表，所有议员今年均寻求连任。比斯潘伯格乐观程度稍低的民主党人希望至少翻转两个席位，为民主党在唐纳德·特朗普总统任期下半段夺回众议院控制权贡献力量。

在两个最具竞争力的席位上，共和党现任议员詹·基根斯（Jen Kiggans）和罗布·威特曼（Rob Wittman）避开了党内——

数周工作因新直升机停机坪命令而功亏一篑

B13停机坪：新一代“海军陆战队一号”直升机或将烧焦草坪

新一代“海军陆战队一号”直升机存在烧焦草坪的风险。

这片草坪数十年来一直被用于运送总统的直升机起降。白宫此前曾表示，该区域部分地段的坡度约为20度，超过了直升机停机坪的推荐倾斜度。新停机坪选址的地势比其他区域更为平坦。

新停机坪将位于南门廊附近，这是“海军陆战队一号”（用于运送总统的直升机呼号）的传统降落点。该项目旨在解决一个长期存——

莉莉·斯潘多夫（Lily Spandorf）的一幅描绘想象街景的画作现悬挂于Kain & Associates办公室，为杜邦环岛的“地面覆盖”项目提供了灵感。

活动。当日程空闲时，这片广场——因需保持空间灵活性以适应各类活动而未种植植被——将设置座椅。

“在意大利和法国，你会看到这些广场上摆满了户外桌椅，还有音乐表演和艺术摊位，”帕特里克·凯恩（Michael Kain之子，Kain and Associates总裁）说，“杜邦环岛是一个如此国际化的社区，我认为这非常——”

此外，两位现任议员——民主党众议员唐·拜尔（Don Beyer）和共和党众议员约翰·麦圭尔（John McGuire）——在初选中面临挑战，但筹款金额远超对手。

共和党人也在挑选提名人选，以挑战参议员马克·沃纳（Mark Warner），这将是一场艰难的竞争。

民主党聚焦翻转两个关键众议院席位

弗吉尼亚州的两个国会选区是民主党重夺众议院控制权的重点目标。沿海的第二选区（人口中心位于弗吉尼亚海滩）是该党的必争之地。政治倾向略偏共和党的第一选区约有一半人口位于里士满郊区，另一半则分布在向北和向西延伸的更多农村县。

在第二选区，前国会女议员伊莲·卢里亚（Elaine Luria）被视为四人民主党初选阵营中的领跑者。其他候选人还包括医生妮拉·德瓦纳斯（Nila Devanath，试图将自己定位为该选区的进步派代表）、科学家兼退伍军人比尔·弗莱明（Bill Fleming）以及前人道主义援助工作者帕特里克·莫索尔夫（Patrick Mosolf）。

卢里亚获得了众议院民主党竞选机构的支持，并远超对手筹集了竞选资金。她是一名退役海军指挥官，于2018年当选众议院议员，并在任两届后被前海军直升机飞行员基根斯（Kiggans）击败。

第一选区的初选竞争激烈，共有七名候选人参与，但多数观察人士认为香农·泰勒（Shannon Taylor）是领跑者。她已担任里士满郊区亨里科县（Henrico County）的民选检察官14年。

泰勒同样获得了民主党国会竞选委员会的支持，并拥有巨大的筹款优势，但也面临来自对手的尖锐批评，包括律师萨拉姆·巴蒂（Salaam Bhatti）。

该选区的其他候选人还包括多名退伍军人——伊丽莎白·登普西·贝格斯（Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs）、贾森·纳普（Jason Knapp）和梅尔·图尔（Mel Tull）——以及环保倡导者蒂姆·西温斯基（Tim Cywinski）和律师埃里卡·科普（Ericka Kopp）。

VH-92A“爱国者”直升机由西科斯基飞机公司（Sikorsky Aircraft）制造，其排气口向下排放热气，极易烧焦草坪。西科斯基公司隶属于洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin），曾与政府官员合作多年寻求解决方案，最终特朗普于2018年批准了计划中的停机坪建设。

在此期间，特朗普将椭圆形公园（白宫南侧的公园）用作“海军陆战队一号”的临时降落区。

“大约十年前，杜邦环岛‘失去了它的魅力’，”帕特里克·凯恩说——居民纷纷搬往14街或联合市场附近的新社区。他曾视之为“酷且前卫”的地区已被新开发项目取代，夜生活场所纷纷撤离。

“所以我们的想法是，通过这样的项目，我们可以真正重振这里的活力，”他说。

两位在任者试图击退初选挑战者

在弗吉尼亚州的11名众议院在任者中，仅有两人面临初选挑战。

在弗吉尼亚州中部的第五选区，获得特朗普背书的麦圭尔是一名前海豹突击队队员和州议员，他面临资深人士梅拉妮·卢塞罗的挑战，麦圭尔在筹款方面遥遥领先。

在华盛顿周边占绝对优势的蓝色第八选区——弗吉尼亚州北部，在任众议员唐·拜尔正寻求第七个任期，他面临四名挑战者的提名竞争。

一位寻求东山再起的前国会议员

杜邦环岛商业改进区（BID）成立于2008年，很大程度上是为了支持“覆盖工程”项目。帕特里克·凯恩曾希望该项目能帮助康涅狄格大道吸引企业回流，当时那里已有许多空置店面。疫情进一步恶化了经营状况，商家们表示。

费尔德斯坦曾任地方社区委员会成员，直到去世前一直是该项目的“倡导者”，吕克高尔表示，他曾游说市政府官员和当地商家。

汤姆·佩里埃洛也在周二的初选竞争者之列，他曾在2009年开始的一届任期内代表第五选区。佩里埃洛在三方角逐的民主党提名竞争中筹款领先。

共和党人将决定参议院长期挑战者人选

选民还将决定一场三方角逐的全州竞选，以挑选共和党提名人，挑战民主党参议员马克·沃纳。沃纳是知名的前州长，于2008年首次当选参议员，目前担任参议院情报委员会的民主党首席成员。

击败沃纳将是一项巨大挑战，这场竞选并不被视为

民主党国会候选人香农·泰勒（左）于7月25日在弗吉尼亚州威廉斯堡的一次上门拜访活动中与支持者交谈。

索菲娅·索拉诺 / 《华盛顿邮报》

在经历了涉及纽约市布莱恩特公园设计者的设计过程、公众会议和疫情延误后，交通部于2025年破土动工。预计项目最快可于今年年底前完工，比原计划提前。

“这里没有取舍，”BID的市场经理贾森·戈德曼表示，“没有人会被迫迁移。我们只是在填补曾经一无所有的空洞。”

覆盖工程和街景项目最初遭到居民团体反对，因其导致道路封闭和绕行。今年4月，数名商家在哥伦比亚特区议会前请求拨款，以弥补因客流减少造成的业务损失。邻近的Bibibop亚洲烤肉店区域经理米海·尹表示，餐厅收入和顾客数量较去年第一季度下降了31%。

“这不是放缓，”她在证词中写道，“这是危机。”

二手店Secondi的老板凯特琳·卡利森已在杜邦环岛经营40年。她表示，希望吸引社区访客的回报值得暂时的施工阵痛。

“我知道情况会好转，杜邦环岛会重现昔日的优雅风貌，”她说，“但现在街道被挖得一团糟，看起来简直像地狱。幸好我有四驱车。”

但据吕克高尔称，他的选民几乎一致对该项目及其增加社区客流的潜力表示热情。 商业团体和咨询社区委员会仍在积极征求公众意见，讨论广场的使用方式及应举办的活动。

“这是让社区参与其中的理念，因为这是社区的空间，”吕克高尔说，“它的成败取决于社区如何利用它。”

从这个角度来看，当前的项目与其数十年前的初衷并无太大差异。

斯潘多夫曾作为一名“截稿艺术家”，为各种地方出版物——包括《华盛顿邮报》——绘制速写和绘画，以插图形式呈现这座城市的突发新闻和专题报道。在2000年发表于该报的讣告中，她被誉为“从显而易见的事物中创造艺术”。

“莉莉·斯潘多夫，”迈克尔·凯恩说，“这会让她大吃一惊。”

这场竞争将决定参议院的控制权。

共和党竞争者包括：金·法林顿，一名会计师，她强调自己在联邦政府数十年的工作经历；伯特·米祖萨瓦，一位获得过荣誉的退役陆军少将；以及戴维·威廉姆斯，一名海军陆战队预备役军人。

沃纳没有初选对手。

菲利普·阿泰托，48岁

安纳波利斯活动人士是朋友和社区的“道德指南针”

作者：桑娅·沃森

《首都公报》

当地活动人士、安纳波利斯居民菲利普·阿泰托上月在Luminis Health安妮阿伦德尔医疗中心去世，享年48岁，此前他与多发性骨髓瘤（一种骨髓癌）抗争了十年。

两个GoFundMe筹款页面在过去六年间共筹集了53,500美元用于他的治疗。

阿泰托先生以善良和耐心著称，2000年毕业于弗吉尼亚理工大学国际研究专业。他曾参与一个名为“脊梁运动”的和平抗议组织，并经常通过光影投射表达政治异议。

该组织的艺术家会制作模板，并通过光线将信息投射到显眼的建筑物上，以传达他们的观点，他的密友埃莉诺·戈德菲尔德说。

戈德菲尔德是一名来自华盛顿特区的艺术家和活动人士，2013年与阿泰托先生相识。她说自己当时就感觉仿佛认识他一辈子。

她告诉《首都公报》，阿泰托先生充满爱心和包容的性格在艰难时期——尤其是新冠疫情期间——帮助当地社区凝聚在一起。

“在许多人筑起壁垒和高墙的时期，他忠诚、善良、宽容且热情，”她说。

戈德菲尔德表示，阿泰托先生激励她继续为4岁的儿子争取一个更美好的世界。“菲尔叔叔”很快成为她儿子生活中的重要人物，因为戈德菲尔德总是称阿泰托先生为自己的兄弟。

詹姆斯·博克斯利·库克，89岁

T. Rowe Price前高管拥有丰富多彩的冒险爱好

作者：迈克·克林加曼

《巴尔的摩太阳报》

詹姆斯·博克斯利·库克——一位成就斐然的飞行员、钢琴家、水手和股票经纪人——上月在陶森市布莱克赫斯特老年公寓的住所因自然原因去世，享年89岁。这位T. Rowe Price前高管生前性格随和，但骨子里却充满冒险精神。航空让他着迷；他通过了空军飞行员训练，成为西弗吉尼亚州空中国民警卫队的少尉，并先后在该州及后来的马里兰州空中国民警卫队的航空中队服役。库克先生拥有一架塞斯纳172单引擎飞机，驾驶它飞遍了全国。一次旅行将他带到加利福尼亚，另一次则去了百慕大。

“爸爸喜欢带我们飞到大洋城，有时只是为了吃午饭，”他的女儿朱莉娅·库克·古斯说。“他会进行一日游，飞到不同的城镇，然后从飞机上取出折叠自行车，骑车去一家喜欢的咖啡馆。美食对他很重要。”

库克先生是西弗吉尼亚州人，曾就读于马萨诸塞州安多弗的菲利普斯学院和布朗大学，与高中时的恋人结婚后移居马里兰州。他在金融领域颇有建树，最初在美林证券工作，后成为副总裁——

“他是带着对这个社区的一切离开的，”她含泪说道。“他总是提醒我，我想成为什么样的人，以及我想要建设一个什么样的世界。”

“后援运动”（Backbone Campaign）的执行董事比尔·莫耶表示，阿泰托在总部位于西雅图的该组织中被称为“东岸后援”，成为该运动非正式的东海岸通讯员。莫耶说，2019年，该组织因他对社会正义的无畏奉献精神而向他致敬。

“仅仅是一个大声疾呼、制造噪音的活动家是一回事，但成为一个培养领导力和力量的社区组织者则完全是另一回事，”莫耶补充道。“他是一个将社区组织者的最佳品质融入其中的活动家。”

阿泰托还参与了

T. Rowe Price公司的市场营销总裁，他的低调作风在投资银行界显得与众不同，他的女儿说。

“他不是那种冷酷无情、华尔街式的人物，”她说。“我父亲为人脚踏实地，善于交际，就是喜欢做他正在做的事。人们说，如果他想卖，他甚至能把坏了的吸尘器卖出去。”

退休后，库克先生为多个非营利组织工作，指导巴尔的摩的年轻居民如何准备求职面试。他还负责马里兰州的一个项目，向弱势青少年介绍航空业的职业生涯，带他们进行短途飞行，希望能激励

安妮阿伦德尔县的政治。2022年，县议会正在制定一项警察问责法案，他认为这项法案进一步伤害了边缘化社区。

阿泰托身穿便便表情符号服装出席了县议会会议，作证反对该法案，称议员们“炮制了一坨屎一样的法案”。随后，他在服装内释放了一个臭气弹，导致议员们出于预防措施疏散了会议厅。阿泰托被控扰乱秩序，并被判缓刑一年。

丽莎·芒迪是阿泰托的长期好友，她总是对阿泰托以幽默而有力的方式维护社区的行为报以微笑。

“他给了我一个道德指南针。每当我需要解决问题或集思广益时，他总是我会联系的人，”她说。

另一项爱好是航海。周末时，他经常驾驶自己那艘1966年的波士顿捕鲸船在切萨皮克湾巡航，这艘船被他命名为“依然在此”，以纪念一位挚爱之人。多年前，每当他问自己的父亲“过得怎么样？”时，父亲总会回答“还在”。

飞行和航海对库克先生来说是一种宣泄，他的女儿说：“他从中找到了平静——还有弹钢琴。当他还是经纪人时，下班回家后会坐在他的老式立式鲍德温钢琴前，弹奏《彩虹之上》、《昨日》和《你是还是不是我的宝贝》等曲子。这让他平静下来。”

芒迪说，阿泰托的幽默感渗透到他作为活动家和青年团体领袖的工作中。她说，他总是倾听教堂里的孩子们，知道如何让他们感到安全。

“菲尔每天都会填补的空间将不复存在，”阿泰托和芒迪的朋友威廉·罗威尔说。“尽管与癌症抗争了十多年，菲尔仍有能力照顾他人。他是一个了不起的人，我非常敬佩他。”

罗威尔回忆起阿泰托在他的婚礼上担任伴郎，并与房间里的每个人建立联系的情景。

“菲尔真的很享受把人们聚集在一起。他为每个人腾出空间，”罗威尔说。“我们对他的思念将超出任何人所能描述的程度。”

阿泰托的家人要求

库克先生凭听觉弹奏，喜爱爵士乐和蓝调，尤其是萨克斯演奏家斯坦·盖茨和钢琴家奥斯卡·彼得森等艺术家的作品。朋友们称他为“博克斯利”，库克先生经常出入巴尔的摩的爵士俱乐部，与音乐家们闲聊，有时还在他们的休息时间弹奏钢琴。有一次，在华盛顿肯尼迪中心观看迪齐·吉莱斯皮音乐会后，他在后台见到了这位著名的小号手。

穆斯说，她的父亲也热爱其他音乐流派。

“两年前，我们去利里克剧院听邦妮·雷特的演唱会。爸爸从停车场走过来几乎寸步难行，但我们还是坚持到了——他非常喜欢这场演出。”

隐私。

“我们都为菲利普的生活选择和成就感到无比自豪。我们坚信，通过他的勇气、行动和奉献，他为让这个世界变得更美好尽了自己的一份力量，”他们在声明中说道。

阿泰托先生出生于宾夕法尼亚州切斯特，曾就读于格伦伯尼高中。他大半生都居住在安纳波利斯，并在巴尔的摩从事自由职业。

阿泰托先生的家人表示，他“在经历磨难的过程中，始终得到妻子杰西卡的忠诚支持；他的父母弗雷德里克和弗兰·阿泰托；他的妹妹娜塔莉·埃丁顿；他深爱的侄女卡拉和索菲娅；他珍爱的猫咪；以及无数朋友，他们构成了坚实的支持网络，并始终给他带来无尽的欢乐。”

他先于其结婚63年的妻子简·克莱尔·库克去世，遗下女儿格思（居住在欧文斯米尔斯）；儿子小詹姆斯·博克斯利·库克（居住在陶森）和道格拉斯·里德·库克（居住在弗雷德里克）；6名孙辈；以及3名曾孙辈。

8月11日，家属将在下午3时至6时于陶森约克路6500号的米切尔-维德菲尔德殡仪馆举行吊唁活动。8月12日上午11时，将在巴尔的摩北查尔斯街5603号救世主教堂小教堂举行追思仪式，随后举行招待会。为纪念库克先生，可向救世主教堂捐款。

他最引以为傲的成就之一是于2005年协助创立了黄丝带基金会。该组织为9·11事件后受伤、患病和负伤的军人及其照护者和家人提供支持。尼尔先生还担任巴克基金会董事会成员，并长期担任哥伦比亚乡村俱乐部会员。

最重要的是，丹尼斯珍视他的家庭。凯茜是他相伴60年的挚爱伴侣，他对她和他们共同建立的生活充满奉献。他喜欢在圣路易斯、百慕大、巴黎以及任何能共同创造回忆的地方聚集尼尔家族成员。他热爱商务和休闲旅行，尤其是前往法国。他特别喜欢与孙女们玩自己版本的扑克牌游戏，向赢家发放2美元钞票，也经常向遇到的其他人发放。在坚定的天主教信仰和对家庭的热爱指引下，他成为所有认识他的人爱与慷慨的源泉。

尼尔先生的遗属包括：妻子玛丽·凯瑟琳（戈尔登）；儿子马克，居住于佛罗里达州莱克沃思，及马克的女儿莎拉、艾拉妮、艾玛和夏洛特；女儿埃琳及其丈夫李·埃默特，以及他们的女儿波比，居住于马里兰州贝塞斯达。

他还留下了兄弟姐妹：居住于科罗拉多州杜兰戈的凯茜；居住于密苏里州圣路易斯的马克（凯莉）、玛吉（黛安·福特）和乔（贝丝）；居住于密歇根州哈里斯维尔的埃德（琳达）；以及居住于新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的吉姆（奇普·方曼）；内兄托尼·戈尔登（丽塔），居住于纽约州詹姆斯维尔；以及遍布全国的众多侄子侄女。他的父母及兄弟汤姆和约翰先于他去世。

再见，丹尼斯。愿上帝保佑你。

家人和朋友受邀参加于2026年8月5日（星期三）上午11点在马里兰州波托马克的圣母慈悲天主教堂举行的基督教葬礼弥撒。随后将举行生命庆典。吊唁仪式将于8月4日（星期二）下午3点至7点在约瑟夫·高勒父子公司举行，地址为华盛顿特区西北威斯康星大道5130号，邮编20016。

高中时期，他曾为《华盛顿邮报》经销商托马斯·斯特利工作，学习了后来成为他终身事业的行业。1964年，他成为《华盛顿邮报》郊区和乡村部的经销商，为马里兰州弗雷德里克县和华盛顿县以及西弗吉尼亚州杰斐逊县的部分地区客户提供服务。他的敬业精神使他在1990年代末获得“年度郊区和乡村经销商”称号。他还自豪地担任了美国邮政局的邮递员35年，白天送信，晚上送报，以养家糊口。

爱德华一生展现出的力量和决心显而易见。他以坚韧的毅力勇敢地战胜了结肠癌和膀胱癌。

作为一名热爱阅读的终身历史爱好者，尤其是南北战争史，爱德华喜欢每天阅读多份报纸以了解时事。他还热爱飞行，于1971年完成了首次单人飞行，并是纽约扬基队、华盛顿指挥官队、职业网球和高尔夫球的忠实粉丝。作为弗雷德里克基督教弟兄会的长期成员，他通过善良、谦逊和服务他人默默践行自己的信仰。

最重要的是，爱德华深爱他的家人。他将被铭记为一位忠诚的丈夫、父亲、祖父、曾祖父、兄弟和朋友，其坚强的职业道德、温和的精神和无条件的爱留下了永恒的遗产。

家人和朋友受邀参加爱德华的追思会，地点为弗雷德里克弟兄会教堂（Frederick Church of the Brethren），地址：马里兰州弗雷德里克市费尔维尤大道201号，邮编21701，时间为2026年8月7日（周五）。吊唁仪式将于上午10时至11时举行，随后于11时至12时举行葬礼仪式。葬礼结束后将立即在弗雷德里克市橄榄山公墓下葬。之后，家人和朋友受邀返回教堂参加招待会，共叙友情。

为表达哀思，可不献花，转而向蕾妮的孙子马弗里克捐款，他正与一种罕见的遗传疾病抗争。

该物业将以“现状”出售，并受制于影响标的物业的任何已登记条件、限制、地役权、负担及协议，且不提供任何形式的保证。出售将受制于一项优先抵押贷款，具体金额将在拍卖时公布。

贷款销售审计，包括但不限于分析借款人是否签订了贷款修改协议、申请破产、恢复贷款或在销售前偿还贷款。代理受托人将转让可保险或可交易产权。若代理受托人无法转让可保险或可交易产权，或销售后审计认定不应进行销售，或法院因任何原因未批准销售，买方在法律或衡平法上的唯一救济仅限于无息退还保证金，即使买方已对物业进行改善。保证金退还后，销售即告无效且不产生任何效力，买方不得对代理受托人提出进一步索赔。买方应自行负责实际占有物业。法拍销售后，买方即承担物业的灭失风险。（案件编号：25-600657）

违约及止赎拍卖通知，于2026年7月17日由止赎专员理查德·A·拉什发布：

鉴于，该信托契约由美国住房和城市发展部部长（下称“部长”或“HUD”）根据《国家住房法》为提供单户住房目的而承保；且

鉴于，由于违反（a）（iii）条款，信托契约中的契约和条件已发生违约：该房产不再是借款人的主要住所（非因死亡原因），且该房产不是至少一名其他借款人的主要住所；且

鉴于，截至2026年7月6日，拖欠总金额为329,839.28美元；且

鉴于，由于此违约，部长已宣布信托契约担保的全部债务金额立即到期并应支付；

因此，根据《1994年单户住房抵押贷款止赎法》（美国法典第12编第3751节及以下）、联邦法规第24编第27部分B子部分的授权，以及部长指定Buonassissi, Henning & Lash律师事务所为止赎专员，特此通知：于2026年8月18日上午10:00（当地时间），以下描述的房产（下称“房产”）及与之相关的所有不动产和动产将通过公开拍卖出售给出价最高的竞买人：

通常称为：

本通知中提及的土地位于马里兰州安妮阿伦德尔县，具体描述如下：

该地块编号为81号，区块4号，载于名为“Stoneybrooke Village第一区修订地块图”的地图中，该地图已记录于安妮阿伦德尔县土地记录中，地图编号分别为4570、4571和4572，对应地图册87号，分页45、46和47。

仅供参考： 地上建筑物地址为：1232 Holmespun Dr 税号：03-768-90008199

该房产系通过斯科特·A·福特于1999年12月17日签署的契约转让给特洛伊·L·马林斯和艾格尼丝·R·马林斯，该契约于2000年2月3日记录于马里兰州安妮阿伦德尔县土地记录，登记簿9615号，分页513。

前述特洛伊·L·马林斯已于2012年1月8日左右去世，由此将房产所有权转移至作为共同租赁遗属的艾格尼丝·R·马林斯名下。

拍卖将在安妮阿伦德尔县巡回法院前门举行，地址为：马里兰州安纳波利斯市教堂环路8号。

美国住房和城市发展部部长将出价336,804.85美元。

除非部长已预付至止赎拍卖日，否则拍卖时不进行税款、租金或其他收入或负债的分摊，但买受人应在成交时或之前支付其应分摊的已由部长预付的房地产税部分。

除部长外，所有竞买人在出价时必须提交相当于成功出价10%的保证金，形式为向美国住房和城市发展部部长开具的保付支票或银行本票。无需为每次口头出价附带保证金。若成功出价为口头出价，则必须在竞价结束前提交相当于成功出价10%的保证金。保证金概不退还。剩余购买价款必须在拍卖后30天内或部长基于正当理由确定的其他时间内交付，时间至关重要。该金额与竞价保证金一样，必须以保付支票或银行本票形式交付。若部长为最高出价人，则无需以现金支付出价金额。成功竞买人需支付所有转让费用、在剩余款项交付日或之后到期的所有房地产税及其他税款，以及与产权转移相关的所有其他费用。拍卖结束时，未成功竞买人的保证金将予以退还。

即使你喜欢用一杯热气腾腾的咖啡开启新的一天，有时天气也会让你更想要清爽的饮品。无论你是只在温暖季节啜饮，还是全年都离不开冰咖啡，冰咖啡爱好者如今有越来越多的选择。¶ 你当然可以在家自制。但瓶装产品能节省时间——而且比咖啡店的单杯饮品更便宜。¶ 为了帮你找出超市货架上哪款瓶装产品最能提神，我们对市面上流行且广泛销售的品牌进行了盲品测试。

我们品尝的10个品牌，从左至右大致为：La Colombe、Califia Farms、塔吉特的Good & Gather、Aldi的Barissimo、Bizzy、Trader Joe's、沃尔玛的Bettergoods、Stok、Cafe Bustelo，以及前景中的星巴克。

有时，

公路旅行的最佳燃料

是快餐

汉堡、炸奶酪块、

奶昔等：我们最爱的

长途驾驶快速美食

许多暑假都少不了公路旅行，而公路旅行需要燃料——不仅仅是给车加油。

我们都希望成为那种能为旅途准备精美自制餐食的人，让旅程变得文明有序。但现实是，后备箱往往塞得满满当当，根本放不下冷藏箱；如果你的出发前状况和我差不多，可能正忙着洗最后一堆衣服，或是拼命寻找一件不知去向的泳衣，根本无暇顾及其他。

这时快餐就派上用场了。它满足了旅行团队最基本的需求：快速、食物。即使平时不常光顾得来速窗口的人，也可能在路边餐饮的诱惑下屈服。

对于那些可能以65英里的时速浏览路边选择的人，我们询问了《华盛顿邮报》的员工，请他们推荐心仪的快餐。有些来自全国连锁品牌，有些则是区域性选择。还有几款甚至算得上健康。

以下是我们今年夏天会为之刹车的快速美食：

塔可钟芝士豆米卷

塔可钟提供了不同于高速公路边随处可见的汉堡的选择，如果我必须“越境”解馋，几乎总会选择这款简单的素食。米饭、豆子、纳乔奶酪和一丝墨西哥辣椒酱的组合只需$2,，而且不知为何不会让我在副驾驶座上昏昏欲睡。我通常会加点新鲜番茄洋葱沙拉，但今年夏天可能会省略这一步。加点辣酱，就能在下一步决定听哪个谋杀播客时避免饿到发怒。

——埃米莉·海尔，美食记者

Cook Out鸡肉卷

先说清楚：我选择Cook Out并不是因为它有最好的快餐。显然，那家店是Popeyes。Cook Out懒得理会这些琐事，因为这家颠覆常规的路边餐厅忙着扭曲现实。对于新手来说，这家总部位于北卡罗来纳州的连锁店提出了一个简单的问题：为什么我们对配菜的理解

卡尔弗的炸奶酪块，中西部的最爱，便于携带、热腾腾，对一位《邮报》编辑来说，总能讨好坐在后座的狗狗。

来自E1的公路旅行 没有什么比最爱的快餐订单更能让公路旅行顺畅

菜品选择为何如此有限？你可以从 包括汉堡、两个热狗或两个奶酪卷饼在内的主菜中选择， 然后从培根卷、玉米热狗或一个奶酪卷饼等配菜中选择。 第一次光顾时，你的大脑会试图理解这套逻辑而陷入混乱。 由于完美组合来自你灵魂深处的美好部分， 因此无法推荐具体菜品，但选择整个鸡肉卷作为配菜绝对不会出错。

皇家农场炸鸡和饼干

几年前的一个夏天， 在前往阿萨蒂格岛（我最喜欢的海滩之一）的三小时车程中， 一位老朋友向我介绍了公路旅行中的皇家农场炸鸡和饼干， 我很快发现这盒金黄美味能让你饱腹数小时， 剩下的时间只需吃点零食即可。 酥脆的口感！多样的鸡肉选择！各种酱料！ 没有什么比这更能代表驶过切萨皮克湾大桥的感觉了。 加油站点餐对我来说并不陌生——我从小就是Sheetz的忠实顾客—— 但成年后我更倾向于选择更健康的餐食。 皇家农场让我重拾童年记忆，那时我有足够的体质来承受这种连锁快餐的诱惑。 此外，我坚信在公路旅行中卡路里不计入总量： 身体知道这是一个特殊场合。

P. Terry的素食汉堡

我第一次吃P. Terry的素食汉堡是在2017年， 当时我们的无肉汉堡技术还没有太大进步， 因此对第一口的美味程度毫无准备。 棕米、褐菇和黑豆的混合让这款汉堡成为素食汉堡之王。 它配以热乎乎的面包、一片融化的奶酪、 生菜、番茄和特制酱——仅售$4.85！——难怪我每次去奥斯汀都会光顾这家本土快餐美食。

麦当劳鸡蛋奶酪饼干三明治

金拱门的其他三明治—— 比如巨无霸、麦满分、麦格里德尔等—— 往往更受关注，但我要为这款 朴实无华的早餐选择辩护， 它既克制（尤其是与连锁店的其他噱头相比）， 又实在。黄油牛奶饼干温暖而咸香， 柔软但足够结实，能承受折叠鸡蛋和融化的美式奶酪的重量。 仅需约$4，便宜又美味， 是出城时顺路买来享用的理想早餐。

Publix熟食区即买即走希腊沙拉

在从华盛顿特区到南佛罗里达的长途旅行中， 我总会在某个时刻开始渴望沙拉。 我需要一些感觉新鲜的食物

汤姆·麦科克尔 / 《华盛顿邮报》; 食物造型：吉娜·尼斯蒂科

豆子、红芸豆、洋葱和芹菜，全部浇上那熟悉的甜酸酱汁，用蜂蜜而非精制糖增甜。最后，我撒上新鲜罗勒丝作为点缀。

最终的沙拉令人惊艳，既保留了夏日经典的所有核心风味，又增添了一层令人渴望的奶油质感和现代时尚感。

且充满活力，拯救了我被鸡块轰炸的味蕾。幸运的是，大多数行程附近都有Publix杂货店，我会直奔熟食区。我喜欢大部分即买即走的沙拉选择：南方科布沙拉或草莓糖渍山核桃沙拉都不会出错。但我通常会选择希腊沙拉，里面有鹰嘴豆、羊乳酪、卡拉马塔橄榄、番茄、黄瓜、意大利辣椒和红酒醋。（我会把洋葱放到一边；车上还有好几个小时，我可不想当怪物。）没错，Publix潜艇三明治很经典。但排队买三明治的队伍可能很长——而在路上，

星巴克菠菜、羊乳酪和蛋白卷

我和妈妈可能算是“挑剔”的食客。因此，在多年的家庭公路旅行中，父亲和丈夫已经学会，只有一个地方能让他们停下来吃早餐，最大限度减少之后因饥饿引发的抱怨：星巴克。这家连锁店的菠菜、羊乳酪和蛋白卷不知为何满足了我和妈妈冗长清单上的所有要求。它健康（菠菜！蛋白！蛋白质！）；低卡路里（仅290，如果像我们一样一边数一边假装不在意的话）；实际上非常令人满足（既饱腹又美味）；而且随处可得——在星罗棋布于海岸之间的高速公路上，任何一家星巴克都能买到。

吃过奶酪凝块（cheese curd）吗？当我把这些小点心丢进嘴里，窗外飞速掠过大片农田时，我经常这样问自己。虽然现在中西部各地都有 Culver's，但我们家有严格的标准：这种特产只能在它的发源地威斯康星州食用。按照上帝设定的食用方式，炸凝块应该是便携的，始终保持滚烫，而且通常坐在我后座旁边的狗也同样喜欢。

In-N-Out 奶昔

In-N-Out 被高估了吗？是的。（别让我开始吐槽这家连锁店关于“秘密”菜单的炒作。）但作为一名在加州众多农田环绕的高速公路上长大的加州本地人，我会为 In-N-Out 奶昔这种像流沙一样浓稠的美味辩护。无论你选择什么口味（巧克力、草莓、香草——或者混合几种创建组合），它都是一种可靠的公路旅行款待，而且尝起来比 $4 的价格标签要奢华得多。

Dairy Queen 花生脆圆锥冰淇淋

在我这个明尼苏达州家庭中，有一个问题很少得不到回答：“我们要去向‘女王’（Queen）致敬吗？”我的选择永远是脆圆锥冰淇淋——一个简单的香草圆锥，外层裹着由花生和太妃糖脆片混合彩色糖粒组成的酥脆层。它是咸与甜的完美结合，当你穿行在中西部的玉米地和草原时，可以用一只手拿着它吃。如果菜单上没有正式列出，也不要气馁。如果卖完了，我的 DQ 备选订单是 Butterfinger 和 Heath 暴风雪冰淇淋。

Dunkin’ 冰咖啡

那些膀胱容量比你大、经验丰富的旅伴会警告你，在公路旅行前不要喝太多液体。然而，我坚信，在东北部开车时，如果杯架里没有一杯甜得发腻的 Dunkin’ 冰咖啡，就如同没有护照飞行一样。没有人能反驳这家总部位于马萨诸塞州的品牌拥有最好的咖啡。它更像是一种喷气燃料：将你从 A 点送到 B 点的必要推进剂。再配一个甜甜圈。（如果你到达目的地时没有胃痛，那就不叫公路旅行。）最棒的部分是，当你几小时后不可避免地需要上厕所时，你可以停在另一家 Dunkin’ 补充能量。

用富含蛋白质的茶叶蛋为你的早通勤提供能量

作者：MEGAN ZHANG

回想起我上大学时，在学校假期回加利福尼亚州看望父母，我母亲经常在回纽约的航班上给我一个小型冷藏袋。里面通常装着冰袋、切好的水果和一大袋浸满酱油、带有琥珀色条纹的茶叶蛋。

我认为茶叶蛋是中国通勤者最典型的早餐。在全国各地的街头摊位、便利店和火车站，用小火加热的大锅茶叶蛋是常见的景象。如果你在早晨通勤去任何地方，你周围很可能有人正在匆忙地吃一个，或者在包里塞了一个留着以后吃。

制作茶叶蛋，你只需要将鸡蛋在由红茶、酱油和多种香料（包括肉桂、八角和月桂叶）组成的汤汁中炖煮——这意味着鸡蛋会被彻底入味，方便在上班途中随手抓取，甚至适合在需要携带蛋白质零食的跨国飞行中使用（不过对于较长行程，使用冰块始终是明智之举）。

每个摊贩和家庭对于腌制酱油和香料的偏好比例都不同。我的家人倾向于喜欢酱香味更浓的鸡蛋，而且多年来，我们还改进了方法以确保蛋黄更像果酱般浓稠。

产生更坚硬的蛋黄，这可能会导致口感变得像粉笔一样干涩。

在美国长大，我一直喜欢嫩滑的蛋黄，在生活在这里三十年后，我父母的口味也变得喜欢美国和欧洲蛋类料理中经常推崇的浓稠质感。在我向父母介绍 7 分钟蛋技巧的魔力之后（这是极少数我教他们厨房技巧的场合），我们开始将这种方法融入到我们的茶叶蛋中。首先，我们

用茶叶、酱油和香料腌制水煮蛋，使鸡蛋充满风味并创造出华丽的大理石纹路。用小勺轻轻敲碎蛋壳，让腌料渗入。

将鸡蛋和调味液在两个不同的锅中分别炖煮，然后将两者完全冷却。接着，我们用勺子背面敲击每个蛋壳的所有部位，产生许多细小的发丝状裂缝——这些缝隙是为了让

美食

腌料渗入。最后，我们将鸡蛋放在调味汤汁中冷藏至少 24 小时，最多 48 小时。这种冷浸法需要更多时间让风味渗透，但提前规划所带来的回报感觉非常值得等待：表面出现经典的酱色纹路，以及一个烹饪至你理想熟度的金黄色蛋黄。

中式茶叶蛋

12人份（制作12个鸡蛋）

茶叶蛋是中国各地的早餐主食，堪称经典的餐前准备技巧：将煮熟的鸡蛋浸泡在以酱油、茶叶、姜和八角调味的咸鲜液体中，直至香气深入蛋白和蛋黄。这种做法易于大批量制作，且能保存数日，适合快速享用一口风味十足的早餐。茶叶蛋搭配主食（如蒸米饭、馒头或粥）风味绝佳，但即使匆忙时在厨房水槽边直接食用也同样美味。

你可以将鸡蛋煮至溏心、半熟或全熟。若喜欢溏心蛋，敲裂蛋壳时需格外小心，避免弄破蛋白。如需减少鸡蛋数量，可酌情调整，但不建议减少腌泡汁的量，以确保足够浸没鸡蛋。

提前准备：鸡蛋需腌制至少24小时，最多48小时。

储存：未剥壳的鸡蛋（包括腌制时间）可冷藏保存最多4天。

购买地点：深色酱油通常比浅色（普通）酱油更浓稠、更甜且咸度较低，可在亚洲市场或库存充足的超市购买。

总耗时：40分钟，外加1小时冷却腌泡汁及至少24小时腌制时间

食谱作者：美食作家梅根·张

食材

• 2汤匙散装中国红茶，如祁门红茶或滇红
• 6杯水
• 6汤匙浅色（普通）酱油
• 3汤匙深色酱油（见“购买地点及替代品”）
• 2茶匙白砂糖
• 1茶匙细盐
• 1茶匙整颗四川花椒
• 1块（1英寸）新鲜姜（约1 / 4盎司），去皮切薄片
• 3片月桂叶
• 1颗整八角
• 1根（2至3英寸）肉桂棒
• 12个大号鸡蛋，室温下放置

步骤

• 如需使用，可将茶叶放入可煮沸的茶漏或茶包中（后续需过滤腌泡汁）。取一个至少5½夸脱（51杯）的大型不锈钢锅或搪瓷荷兰锅，加入茶叶和水，再搅入浅色酱油、深色酱油、糖、盐、四川花椒、姜片、月桂叶、八角和肉桂棒。将锅置于大火上煮沸，然后转小火，加盖煮15分钟。离火后用细网筛过滤至一个大而宽的耐热碗或容器中，完全冷却。弃去茶叶和香料。（容器应足够大，以便后续浸没12个鸡蛋。为加快冷却，可将腌泡汁冷藏约1小时。）

• 同时，将一大锅水煮沸。用漏勺或笊篱小心将鸡蛋放入水中，并设定计时器：6分钟煮至流心蛋，8分钟煮至半熟蛋，或11分钟煮至全熟蛋。

• 在鸡蛋煮沸的同时，准备一大碗冰水。

• 用漏勺将鸡蛋转移至冰水中，冷却约5分钟。

• 待腌泡汁和鸡蛋冷却后，用小勺背部轻轻但用力敲击每个鸡蛋，使蛋壳产生多处细小裂纹，但勿敲下大块碎片或弄破蛋白。将鸡蛋浸入腌泡汁中，加盖冷藏至少24小时，最多48小时。（鸡蛋在腌泡汁中浸泡越久，风味越浓郁。）从腌泡汁中取出鸡蛋（见备注），剥壳后食用。（如喜欢，可在食用前将鸡蛋在室温下静置20至30分钟。）

备注

• 深色酱油 >> 浅色酱油，另加1 / 2茶匙白砂糖。成品可能大理石纹理较不明显，但风味依然美味。
• 无法购买四川花椒？ >> 可省略。
• 避免使用铸铁或碳钢锅具

以下是忠实于原文的中文翻译：

---

• 切勿使用铸铁或碳钢锅具烹制此食谱，因材质可能与茶发生反应。

• 腌泡汁可再次使用：将其煮沸数分钟，然后离火并完全冷却。风味会略有减弱，因此可根据口味酌量添加酱油和香料调味。

来自E1的品尝测试 一些瓶装冰咖啡口感令人愉悦且层次丰富，另一些则索然无味。

测试阵容：我们使用了总部位于芝加哥的市场调研公司Circana的数据（数据来源于杂货店、药店、大众市场、便利店、军营以及部分会员店和一元店），以确定畅销品牌。自有品牌很受欢迎，因此我们纳入了几家全国性零售商的自有品牌，共计10个竞争者。

我们尽可能选择“中度”烘焙。多数标注为冷萃，但也包括两个例外： Bustelo的“意式浓缩”风格饮品和Aldi的自有品牌冰咖啡。

评判过程：我们进行了盲品测试，8位同事在不知品牌的情况下品尝了全部10个样品。品尝者被要求单独品尝每个样品，并可自行添加牛奶和简单糖浆。评委为每个样品打分，分值范围为1至10分，满分80分。

统计结果时，我们发现有两个品牌并列第一。由于我们希望在品尝测试中确定明确的赢家，我们让这两个并列品牌在盲品决胜轮中再次较量，由三位咖啡发烧友担任评委。这解释了前两名品牌评分差异的原因（它们的最高可能得分为110分）。

以下是获得最高评价的品牌——以及那些（为数不少）被彻底吐槽的品牌：

8. Califia Farms冷萃黑咖啡 无糖 中度烘焙

得分：10 在这类品尝测试中，很少有样品会收获如此一致的恶评。但天哪，这个品牌遭到了猛烈抨击，激起了人们通常对真正令人反感的事物才有的那种愤怒。品尝者称其“刺鼻”“恶心”，有“糟糕的番茄酱味”。甚至有人想出了一个令人作呕的比喻：“有泥土味的厕所水”。

（价格：$5.69 / 48盎司瓶装，Giant超市；每盎司12美分）

7. Cafe Bustelo意式浓缩风格咖啡 无糖

得分：21 这个品牌真该来瓶芦荟胶，因为它烧焦了。至少我们的评委是这么认为的。“像咖啡壶底的残渣”，一位评委不屑地说。“非常焦苦，非常难喝”，另一位附和道。有人发现，即使加了牛奶，这个样品——作为异类，因为它标注为“意式浓缩”风格，与大多数样品不同——仍然“过于强烈”。还有人说它尝起来“像是被人加了酒精——而且不是好酒”。

（价格：$6.19 / 40盎司瓶装，Giant超市；每盎司15美分）

6. 星巴克冷萃黑咖啡 无糖

得分：25 又一个烧焦的选手！美国最畅销的品牌不负“焦巴克”（Char-bucks）的嘲讽绰号。“烧焦的木炭，略带烘焙豆香”，一位品尝者如此形容。“几乎是烧焦的”，另一位说。多人认为它“寡淡无味”，还有人觉得奇怪的是它没有更浓郁的香气。

（价格：$7.29 / 40盎司瓶装，Giant超市；每盎司18美分）

5. La Colombe冷萃 中度烘焙 无糖

得分：29 品尝者一致认为这是颜色最浅的样品之一，其淡薄的口感与外观相符。有几位觉得它“被稀释过”。“尝起来像水里泡了几粒咖啡豆”，一位失望的评委抱怨道。总体而言，人们觉得它“毫无存在感”：“有点像什么都没尝到”，有人如此评价。

（价格：$6.99 / 48盎司瓶装，Giant超市；每盎司15美分）

4.（三向并列）Barissimo冰咖啡 无糖 黑咖啡（Aldi）

得分：33 在Aldi的自有品牌横扫我们的蛋黄酱品尝测试后，我很好奇它的冰咖啡表现如何。（需要说明的是，Aldi确实生产冷萃咖啡，但我购物时当地店铺没有货。）唉，这个样品的口感比品尝者期待的略显平淡。“需

获胜者 Bizzy 带来了其他大多数竞品所缺乏的风味深度。“烘焙度很扎实，”一位粉丝表示。

来自 Califia Farms 的这款产品在口味测试中遭到普遍厌恶。品尝者形容其“刺鼻”“恶心”，有“糟糕的番茄酱味”。

排名第二的是塔吉特（Target）的 Good & Gather 品牌。虽然部分品尝者觉得这款产品像是去糖果店的体验，但一位评委称赞其“浓郁的口感”。

“咖啡味更足，”一位品尝者表示，另一位附和道“没有哪种风味特别突出”。还有人指出它不耐稀释：“加了牛奶后味道很淡。”

（价格：$5.29 / 48 盎司瓶装，Aldi；每盎司 11 美分）

4.（三方并列）Bettergoods 冷萃咖啡 无糖经典黑咖啡（沃尔玛）

得分：33 这款来自沃尔玛高端品牌的样品比部分竞品更有劲道，有人认为它是个“还不错”的选择。但品尝者普遍认为其略带酸味，让他们无法完全接受。“味道不错，但太酸，有柑橘味，”一位品尝者说。“酸度较高，我通常不喜欢咖啡有这种味道，但还不算太糟，”另一位表示。

（价格：$4.88 / 48 盎司瓶装，沃尔玛；每盎司 10 美分）

4.（三方并列）Stok 冷萃咖啡 无糖黑咖啡 浓郁顺滑

得分：33 这款品牌评价两极分化，获得了几位品尝者的高分，包括一位每天喝冰咖啡的人，她将其评为“最喜欢的一款”，称赞其“甜美”“焦糖味”，另一位粉丝则喜欢其“细腻感”。但其他人觉得它几乎没有存在感，像是“咖啡的影子”。

有几位品尝者对其缺乏香气感到困惑。“闻起来什么都没有，尝起来也几乎什么都没有，”一位说。“这是咖啡吗？谁知道呢！”“我一开始还以为自己不小心喝了水，”另一位抱怨道。

（价格：$7.29 / 48 盎司瓶装，Giant；每盎司 15 美分）

3. Trader Joe's 冷萃咖啡

得分：45 这款品牌同样让评审团意见分歧。多位品尝者对其令人愉悦的坚果风味赞不绝口。“几乎有花生酱的香味，”一位说，“我喜欢。”“坚果味十足，我就喜欢坚果味咖啡，”另一位附和。一位中立评委表示这是个“还不错的选择”。但也有几位批评者认为它“太酸了”“糟糕透了”，拉低了整体得分。“加了牛奶后，连糟糕的咖啡都能变得好喝，但这款无药可救，”一位批评者说。

（价格：$5.49 / 32 盎司瓶装，Trader Joe's；每盎司 17 美分）

2. Good & Gather 冷萃咖啡 无糖黑咖啡 中度烘焙（塔吉特）

得分：65 部分品尝者觉得这款产品像是去糖果店的体验。“像 Swiss Miss 热巧克力，但以咖啡的形式呈现，”一位说。“巧克力味和甜味，”另一位表示。

足够多的人对其评价不错，使其在初始口味测试中并列第一。但当我们引入决胜评审团后，品尝者发现它不及金牌竞品。三位评委中有一位最喜欢它，称赞其“浓郁的口感”。但另外两位认为它不够生动，一人称其“相对乏味”，另一人则说它“略显平淡”。不过值得一提的是，Good & Gather 的价格比第一名更便宜，因此如果你想在预算内寻找一款提神饮品，这可能是个不错的选择。

（价格：$4.39 / 48 盎司瓶装，塔吉特；每盎司 9 美分）

1. Bizzy 有机冷萃咖啡 中度烘焙 无糖

得分：70 虽然复杂性并不是大多数人在填写纳税申报表或组装宜家家具时所期望的，但事实证明，在冰咖啡方面，复杂性却是一个加分项。这一品牌呈现出的风味深度是大多数竞争对手所缺乏的。“烘焙度很扎实，”一位爱好者表示。“一开瓶就有好闻的香气，”另一位说道。还有人称其为“咖啡豆风味突出”和“咖啡爱好者的咖啡”。

有几位品尝者特别喜欢其中品尝到的森林气息。一人指出“有一种浓郁的新鲜木质菊苣风味——很喜欢”，另一人则形容它“像一款口感醇厚的桶陈威士忌”。

它甚至赢得了一位品尝者的终极信任：“愿意用自己辛苦赚来的钱购买。”

完美酥脆的土豆、大量制作的可丽饼、新手烘焙建议等

贝基 克里斯特尔

每周四上午 11点，《华盛顿邮报》 食谱编辑 贝基·克里斯特尔 会在 washingtonpost.com/ community 与读者在线交流，回答问题 并提供实用的烹饪建议。以下是经过编辑的 节选内容。名称以大写字母开头的食谱可在 我们的食谱登陆页面 washingtonpost.com / recipes 找到。

问答

问：我通常每周初会煮一打 鸡蛋。最好是带壳还是去壳冷藏？ 哪种方式保存时间更长？

答：美国农业部（USDA）并未明确说明哪种方式更好， 但我的倾向是带壳保存，这也是一些其他食品安全 专家推荐的做法。可以将其视为一道额外的保护屏障， 防止细菌和冰箱异味（无论是鸡蛋吸收异味还是散发异味）。 我还发现，鸡蛋在冰箱中充分冷却后更容易剥壳。

问：如何制作外酥里嫩的烤土豆？ 外皮保持酥脆，内部松软。

答：这个问题问得好。可能这不是大家想听到的答案， 但我烤过的最酥脆的土豆都经过了两步处理： 先将土豆预煮（蒸或煮）， 再进行烘烤。这样土豆开始变软， 你可以专注于让外皮变得酥脆， 而不必担心内部未熟， 导致外皮可能烤焦。另一个增强酥脆度的方法是 确保土豆外表有足够的淀粉。可以在烘烤前 裹上少许面粉、 马铃薯淀粉或玉米淀粉。 或者将预煮后的土豆稍微弄粗糙， 制造出凹凸不平的淀粉表面以增加酥脆度。 还要确保使用预热的烤箱和烤盘。 这里有一些灵感 / 参考： Potato Roasties；Oven Fries；Air Fryer Patatas Bravas。

问：我想尝试用培根油代替黄油制作饼干。 用量是否可以一比一替换？我打算做燕麦饼干。

答：我可能不会完全按1:1替换。 黄油实际上含有20%的水分，而培根油则是 100%脂肪，因此可能需要稍微减少培根油的用量， 并添加少许液体。比如牛奶。 因此，我会将脂肪的大汤匙用量减少20%， 其余部分用液体补充—— 例如，如果食谱要求8大汤匙 / 1根黄油， 可使用约6 1 / 2大汤匙培根油 和1 1 / 2大汤匙牛奶。不过， 我还要提醒的是，培根油的味道相当浓郁！ 可能需要先尝试少量替换， 再考虑全量使用（也许各占一半？）。 另外，培根油最适合替代 需要融化黄油的食谱， 而不是需要软化后与糖打发的黄油。 培根油无法像那种黄油一样起到打发效果。 如果食谱确实要求使用软化黄油， 我建议只使用少量培根油， 以便仍能用搅拌器将黄油和糖混合。

Q: 我无法忍受发酵粉和小苏打的味道。有没有办法在不使用它们的情况下让快速面包和其他烘焙食品膨松？酵母面团需要太长时间，而天然酵母对我来说又太......复杂。 A: 我怀疑你使用的食谱是否合适。如果用量正确且被适当中和，你本不应该尝出这些膨松剂的味道。没有它们，快速面包可能会有些棘手，因为这类面糊通常比较浓稠厚重。你需要某种膨松效果，而我不确定还有什么能提供相同的效力。尤其是你不想使用酵母！这有点把自己逼入了死胡同。我是说，确实有一些烘焙食品仅依靠鸡蛋来膨松，但这类食品种类有限，且需要精准操作才能确保不塌陷。我指的是天使蛋糕、戚风蛋糕、海绵蛋糕。除了蛋糕类，你当然可以找到许多不使用化学膨松剂的食品：马卡龙、杏仁饼、派、塔、某些条状点心、克拉芙缇、黄油饼干、芝士蛋糕。以下是一些选择：带果酱鲜奶油的天使蛋糕；草莓燕麦脆片；樱桃克拉芙缇；开心果黄油饼干配石榴糖霜；三重巧克力绕道蛋糕；S'mores蛋糕；巧克力杏仁粗花呢蛋糕。

制作樱桃克拉芙缇时，只需将简单的面糊混合均匀，倒在甜樱桃上，烘烤至凝固即可。最耗时的部分是去樱桃核（如果使用新鲜樱桃），但解冻并沥干的冷冻水果也同样适用。

Q: 我听说骨头汤冷藏后会变成凝胶状。如果仍然呈液态，那它就是高汤，而非骨头汤。你的看法？ A: 是的，取决于你用什么熬制骨头汤、熬煮时间等因素，骨头汤可能会因胶原蛋白而变得更加凝胶状。人们往往混用“高汤”和“骨头汤”这两个术语，且用法不一致。我一直认为，名称并不完全由质地决定，除非是间接关联——高汤通常熬煮时间更长，且主要依赖骨头。

Q: 我有一些上世纪70和80年代的旧食谱，要求使用“餐桌奶油”或“淡奶油”。但如今在商店里只能找到标注为“重奶油”的产品。我能否按1:1的比例替换？ A: 有趣。我确实经常在商店里看到淡奶油。如果找不到，根据《食物替代品圣经》，你有几种选择：1杯淡奶油可替换为3汤匙融化的无盐黄油 + 足量全脂牛奶至1杯；1 / 2重奶油 + 1 / 2全脂牛奶；或1 / 2淡炼乳 + 1 / 2全脂牛奶。

Q: 我能否将黄瓜冷冻起来，之后用于制作冷汤（如西班牙凉菜汤）或其他菜肴？ A: 冷冻后的黄瓜会变得软烂，因此仅适合用于搅拌成汤、蘸酱、冰沙等。你需要先将黄瓜切片或切丁，然后铺在垫纸的烤盘上冷冻至硬实，再装入袋子或容器中。

制作空气炸锅西班牙辣味土豆时，先用微波炉蒸土豆，再用空气炸锅炸至酥脆。

Q: 我发现新款电烤箱在烘焙时会将热量传导到炉灶顶部、前置仪表板和烤箱侧面，而且关闭烤箱后仍会保持温热。我的炉灶在20至30分钟的烘焙周期后，外部表面需要约3小时才能完全冷却。我使用过两款GE炉灶都有这种情况。有没有不在关闭烤箱后向外部传导热量的炉灶推荐？这种情况让我很难同时烤鸡和在炉灶上烹饪蔬菜——靠近炉灶实在太热了！烤箱的冷却风扇去哪儿了？

汤姆·麦科克尔 / 《华盛顿邮报》；食物造型：吉娜·尼斯蒂科

斯科特·萨奇曼 / 《华盛顿邮报》；食物造型：丽莎·切尔卡斯基

问：我无法确定这是否是新现象——实际上，根据我的个人经验，我认为不是。电烤箱往往保温时间更长，我想是因为它们的通风方式与燃气灶不同。我家的烤箱也是这种情况，但不会热上3个小时。（当然，在冬天，或者当我想让面团发酵或黄油软化时，多余的热量反而很不错！）但如果真的热到无法靠近烤箱，可能值得找人检查一下设备。

问：买了一瓶阿佩罗酒后，我发现它含有人工食用色素，使其呈现鲜红色。有什么不含染料的替代品吗？ 答：《美食与美酒》杂志提供了一些可能适合的建议，包括Cocchi Americano、Lillet Blanc和Cappelletti开胃酒（我认为它不含你不想要的染料）。

问：我偶尔会用法罗小麦做一些类似于烩饭的替代品。你还有其他推荐的替代品吗？ 答：我们有用燕麦和大麦制作的食谱：《芦笋、苹果酒和山羊奶酪大麦烩饭》；《格鲁耶尔奶酪蘑菇燕麦烩饭》。

问：邻居送了我们一根他们园子里种的白萝卜，但它太大了——有三磅重！我可以腌制一部分，但剩下的有什么建议吗？烤箱烘烤可行吗？ 答：我们没有相关食谱，但你当然可以烤白萝卜。另一个选择是做凉拌菜或沙拉，比如我们的《紫苏、卷心菜和白萝卜沙拉》。

问：又到了我拿出最喜欢的《邮报》食谱，再做一批樱桃酒的时候了。今年我想尝试改变一下。你觉得我可以用雷尼尔樱桃，或者混合使用宾格和雷尼尔樱桃（也许还加上切兰樱桃，我家杂货店有时有售）来提升口感吗？还是说其他风味会盖过樱桃的味道，用雷尼尔樱桃有点浪费？ 答：食谱说明提到，使用不同品种的樱桃，风味会略有不同。如果你有兴趣尝试，我建议放手一试。我个人还没有机会制作或品尝过这款酒！

问：如何避免去皮茄子变色？最近我做了普罗旺斯杂烩，食谱要求在油炸前去皮。去皮部分立刻变成了褐色。如何避免这种情况？这会影响菜品吗？做普罗旺斯杂烩时，你建议去皮吗？ 答：这种褐变只是表面现象，由氧化引起，就像切开的土豆或苹果变色一样。如果你决定去皮，我不会特意去防止它。不过，我发现我们的食谱中没有要求必须去皮的，有些可能会选择性去皮。我认为没有必要。我喜欢茄子皮带来的颜色，而且皮能帮助切块保持形状。

问：我们教堂正在举办筹款晚宴，计划提前一天制作约300张可丽饼。有什么建议、技巧或食谱适合一群志愿者吗？ 答：看来你提前制作可丽饼的想法很对。我还建议选择可以提前制作或准备的馅料，比如炒蘑菇、焦糖洋葱或其他煮熟 / 烤制的蔬菜。如果用奶酪，可以提前刨丝。当然，Nutella是经典馅料，完全不需要额外准备！以下是一些食谱：《黄油可丽饼》；《香草蘑菇和瑞士奶酪可丽饼》；《番茄可丽饼中的普罗旺斯杂烩》。

Q：我讨厌菜籽油的味道，但有些烘焙食谱中需要用到它。可以用黄油或其他种类的油代替吗？ A：当然可以。在食谱中用融化的黄油代替油非常简单。你也可以使用融化的椰子油（精炼的，如果不想要椰子味）或其他中性油，比如葡萄籽油或牛油果油。

Q：自从几年前你们刊登了何塞·安德烈斯的冷汤（Gazpacho）食谱后，我一直在用这个食谱。现在想尝试点别的——有什么推荐吗？虽然食谱搜索里有很多，但我想要一些其他可靠的人已经认可的食谱。顺便问一下：有没有办法在食谱数据库档案中搜索 / 筛选出你们或其他员工测试过的食谱？很多食谱直接来自文章的作者 / 主题人物。 A：没有，无法按测试人员搜索，但任何进入管理系统的食谱都是我们认可并经过测试的，所以我认为不需要根据测试人员来区分可信度。通常如果测试人员是作者，那可能是我们尝试过的，或者是在这里拍照时制作并品尝过的。以下是我这些年喜欢的一些食谱：樱桃冷汤；玉米冷汤；哈密瓜冷汤；西瓜番茄冷汤。

Q：我们准备去海滩度假一周，想提前准备一些可以冷冻的菜肴，到那里后再烹饪 / 烘焙。我已经计划做千层面 / 填馅贝壳面，还想做一盘火腿奶酪小汉堡，但想听听其他经过验证的建议，适合任何餐点。我们一行有五个成人和三个小孩；由于过敏原因，不能使用鸡蛋。 A：墨西哥卷饼非常适合冷冻，解冻后可以在炉子上加热。其他可行的选择：阿兹特克砂锅（鸡肉和玉米饼阿兹特克砂锅）；烤通心粉（配管状通心粉）；咖喱花椰菜和法罗小麦烘焙。

Q：我刚开始学烘焙，总是使用网上的大量食谱。我发现我的点心有时好吃，有时不好吃。我已经学会了一些基本技巧，比如让鸡蛋和黄油回到室温、预热烤箱、抖松面粉、密切关注烘焙时间等。有时我觉得不是我的问题。会不会是我用的食谱有问题？ A：绝对有可能。网上有很多糟糕的食谱，这就是为什么要选择可信的来源，或者至少是你有过良好体验的来源。食谱，尤其是烘焙食谱，有很多出错的可能性。最好使用标有重量的食谱，并且按照重量来操作。

Q：我想在新鲜（未烹煮）的莎莎酱中加入香菜，但担心环孢子虫病爆发。我考虑将切碎的香菜制成糊状，用微波炉加热杀菌。这样做会让香菜失去风味吗？ A：我认为这样会失去风味、颜色和质地。你还需要确认温度达到约160度。或者也可以尝试焯水。这绝对是你需要根据自身风险承受能力来权衡的事情。

How the

vandalism claims crumbled

Refl ecting Pool project

continues to be thorny issue for administration

BY DAN DIAMOND, LIAM BOWMAN, SALVADOR RIZZO AND JAKE SPRING

Standing on the basin of the Lincoln Memorial’s Refl ecting Pool in early May, President Donald Trump promised to fi x the leaks and other problems that had long plagued one of the capital’s most recognizable land- marks. “It’s going to last, I would say 50 years,” he said. “It’ll last, it’s going to last a long time.” Trump vowed to fi nish the job in time for July Fourth cel- ebrations on the National Mall. He and his aides cast the proj- ect, launched with a multimil- lion-dollar no-bid contract and without the normal review pro- cess, as a demonstration of how quickly the longtime real estate magnate could transform Wash- ington. Trump’s changes instead last- ed a few days. The basin’s coat- ing began to visibly peel, with chunks of Trump’s new pool lin- er, tinted “American Flag Blue,” littering the surface and algae blooms clouding the water. Since then, the administra- tion’s response — to blame “van- dals” for the damage — has mor- phed into a political headache, raising questions about what leaders in the administration knew as the government pur- sued criminal charges against four people, including former U.S. Olympian David Hearn. The president is furious at one of his most ardent supporters, Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the nation’s capital, for drop- ping vandalism charges against the four people in recent days. Prosecutors in a Friday court fi ling blamed the damage on fl awed installation work and said the Interior Department had not shared critical information in a

Nations are shrugging off

president’s bombast that once raised global alarm

BY STEVE HENDRIX AND ANTHONY FAIOLA

LONDON — When President Donald Trump strode into the Rose Garden in April 2025 bran- dishing a poster board of tariff hikes, the world leaped as if a fi re alarm had gone off . Markets shed trillions of dollars, envoys rushed to Washington, more than 75 governments scrambled to negotiate, some scrapping carefully prepped countermea- sures in a rush to cut deals. Sixteen months later, the fl ab- bergasting threats keep piling up — to weaponize trade, annex Canada, seize Greenland, aban- don NATO, annihilate Iran — but the alarm bells have gone quiet. World leaders are slower to rat- tle as they’ve seen the president increasingly fenced in by courts, rebuff ed by Congress and strung along by Tehran — his ultima- tums evaporating and poll num- bers sinking. When Trump announced a fresh barrage of tariff s last month, this time based on accu-

Senate committee advances Blanche for AG after standoff

BY JEREMY ROEBUCK AND THEODORIC MEYER

A divided Senate Judiciary Committee voted Tuesday to advance Todd Blanche’s nomi- nation to become attorney gen- eral, putting President Donald Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer one step closer to becom- ing the next confi rmed head of the Justice Department. The 12-10 party-line vote came after Blanche’s prospects for the job were nearly derailed last week by lingering Republican concerns over the controversial deal the department brokered this spring to resolve Trump’s legal claims against the IRS tax returns.

Predatory schools cheated

Institutions defrauded

VA of $300 million, Post investigation fi nds

BY CRAIG WHITLOCK AND ANDREW BA TRAN

For-profi t trade schools that educate military veterans under the GI Bill have bilked the feder- al government out of more than $300 million, often by charging eye-popping sums for basic class- es that last only a few days or weeks, according to a Washing- ton Post investigation. In New Hampshire, an “or- ganic lawn care institute” taught veterans how to grow grass in a course that took, at most, fi ve days. The school typically billed the Department of Veterans Af- fairs (VA) $14,900 per student, more than triple what it charged civilians not covered by the GI Bill. The federal government paid the school more than $2 million before it came under in- vestigation and closed, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show. Another GI Bill trade school

EXPANDS OUTBREAK

TO 15 STATES

Cyclosporiasis traced to

shredded iceburg lettuce

BY LENA H. SUN AND RACHEL ROUBEIN

The Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention is expanding the largest known cyclosporiasis outbreak to 15 states, adding six states where illnesses have been traced to shredded iceberg let- tuce sourced from central Mexi- co, according to three individuals familiar with the investigation. Missouri, which is reporting 1,095 cases, is one of the states being added, according to a state health department spokesper- son. The number of state cases jumped dramatically in the past week. Patients who were inter- viewed at length by state and local investigators said they con- sumed Taco Bell before getting sick, spokesperson Lisa Cox said. The other states are Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire and North Carolina, according to a fourth person familiar with the investigation. The individuals spoke on the condition of anonymity to dis- cuss an ongoing investigation. The CDC did not immediately re- spond to a request for comment. The investigation is continuing to evolve, and the number of states could change. The expansion marks a signif- icant widening of the outbreak. On Monday, Michigan health of- fi cials announced that two peo- ple have died in the outbreak there, the fi rst deaths confi rmed in the United States related to the microscopic parasite. Both people had underlying health conditions that may have been aff ected by the intestinal illness

based in New Hampshire charged $18,500 in tuition to teach veterans how to make fake rocks out of concrete, federal documents show. That course lasted eight days. The school owner, a convicted tax evader, exploited veterans as free labor on building projects, according to public records and interviews. Before offi cials forced it to shut down, VA paid the school $17.8 million over nearly seven years. In Texas, a destitute high school dropout opened a “boot camp” that trained novices to be- come heating and air-condition- ing technicians in just six weeks. Tuition and fees ran around $20,000. Within three years, the school had reaped $72 million from the GI Bill to enroll more than 3,500 veterans. The owner bought a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a Bentley — and spent almost $200,000 at strip clubs — before being arrested and convicted of fraud, court records show. At the owner’s trial, sever- al veterans described the boot camp as a slapdash operation that duped them with hollow promises of a good-paying ca- reer. “I feel bamboozled,” testifi ed

PHOTOS BY SETH HERALD/REUTERS Sony, a Haitian immigrant who has lived in the United States for fi ve years, wears an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ankle monitor in Blue Ash, Ohio, on Sunday.

BY ARELIS R. HERNÁNDEZ, TED HESSON AND LAUREN KAORI GURLEY

The Department of Homeland Security has begun summon- ing Haitian immigrants in Ohio to check-in appointments with federal offi cers who are outfi t- ting them with ankle monitors, in what appears to be a new enforcement eff ort after the Su- preme Court allowed the Trump administration to end their hu- manitarian protections. Guerline Jozef, executive di- rector of the Haitian Bridge Al- liance, said about 50 Haitians with temporary protected status in Springfi eld, Ohio, were called into Immigration and Customs Enforcement offi ces on Friday. Local attorneys said the immi- grants were arrested and then conditionally released with elec- tronic monitoring devices. They were instructed not to travel anywhere outside a 75-mile radi- us from their homes. A Trump administration offi - cial confi rmed the eff ort to call Haitians with temporary pro- tected status into ICE offi ces, give them ankle monitors and release them. The offi cial, who spoke on the condition of ano- nymity to discuss internal ICE operations, expected the check- ins to be scheduled in waves. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that the Trump admin- istration could end temporary protections for about 350,000 Haitians, despite ongoing politi- cal instability and gang violence in the Caribbean nation. DHS alerted employers last week that it had offi cially ended temporary protected status for Haitians, triggering mass layoff s and con- fusion because a lower court that had blocked the administration’s attempts to terminate the pro- gram has not yet lifted the order keeping TPS benefi ts in eff ect. Congress created temporary protected status in 1990 to shield immigrants in the United States from being deported to coun- tries engulfed in armed confl ict, a natural disaster or another ex- traordinary crisis, allowing them to work legally in the U.S. for up to 18 months. Applicants to the program cannot have serious criminal records, and they must pay fees and pass a background check. DHS can renew the pro- tections — and it has, multiple times, for several countries. Advocates and immigration attorneys said the new arrests in Ohio refl ect ICE’s attempts to more quietly carry out President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign. Rather than large- scale operations like the ones DHS conducted in Minneapo-

lis and Chicago, the agency has been focusing on arrests that take place after traffi c stops and ICE check-ins. Arrests rose sig- nifi cantly in July. “Rather than showing up with a militarized force in a particu- lar neighborhood in Springfi eld and having communities be able to organize around that, this is calling people into a very secure facility,” said Erik Crew, a senior attorney at the Haitian Bridge Alliance, a California-based ad- vocacy organization. “Yes, people can protest outside, but some- times people can go in and never come out and be sent to a deten- tion center somewhere remote, likely in the South, and be sent out of the country from there.” A DHS spokesperson said the agency does not discuss “ongo- ing or future” operations but conducts enforcement daily. “Temporary Protected Status is exactly that — temporary. For too long, TPS has been allowed to function as a de facto amnesty program despite Congress never intending it to be permanent,” DHS said in a statement. “What we would say now is it’s closing time which means you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.” Many of the Haitians out- fi tted with ankle monitors in recent days have ongoing asy- lum claims and no fi nal order of deportation, their attorneys said. Historically, the agency has deployed the worn devices on a case-by-case basis, but immi- gration attorney Carolyn Marks,

Philbert Viaud, who has lived in the United States for fi ve years, leaves the Department of Homeland Security fi eld offi ce in Blue Ash wearing an ankle monitor.

“In the past, [ankle

monitors] have been used with people who have criminal records or had missed court hearings or an order of depor- tation. But all these people had been and are complying with the law.”

Carolyn Marks, immigration attorney

who accompanied two Haitian clients to appointments with ICE on Sunday, said they are now being used more broadly. “In the past, they have been used with people who have crim- inal records or had missed court hearings or an order of deporta- tion,” Marks said. “But all these people had been and are comply- ing with the law.” Trump has long stated that he intended to target Haitian immigrants as part of his mass

deportation drive. During his campaign, he falsely claimed that Haitian residents in Spring- fi eld, Ohio, were killing and eat- ing their neighbors’ pets. After the Supreme Court ruling was announced, Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff , told reporters that Haitians and others with temporary pro- tected status should be detained and deported once they lose the benefi t. Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Con- necticut) and Chris Van Hol- len (D-Maryland) criticized the Trump administration’s eff orts to terminate TPS in a call with reporters on Monday. Both sen- ators said the cancellations were not only putting families in dan- ger but pulling thousands of needed workers out of the labor force. “This is an embarrassment for the United States of America,” Murphy said. “There is no safe place to return for TPS holders from places like Haiti and Ye- men and Venezuela and Syria. In fact, in those places I just men- tioned, the situation is not stabi- lizing, getting better. It is getting worse.” Katie Kersh, managing at- torney with Advocates for Ba- sic Legal Equality, a nonprofi t based in Ohio that is providing legal representation to Haitian immigrants in the area, said ICE offi cers asked people who went to the check-ins over the week- end for biographical informa- tion and collected their fi nger- prints. She and other attorneys

said the offi cers encouraged the immigrants to leave voluntarily and noted the $2,600 fi nancial incentive DHS is off ering those who choose to self-deport. Kersh said one of her clients is a woman in her 60s who may miss the birth of her grandchild in Indiana as a result of the trav- el restrictions. She is a diabetic and worried that having the de- vice strapped tightly to her ankle would cause pain. She inquired about an alternative, which ICE sometimes provides, but was not off ered one. “ICE is setting up circum- stances that makes it easier to detain them,” Kersh said. Vilés Dorsainvil, who runs the Haitian Support Center in Springfi eld, Ohio, stood outside an ICE offi ce near Cincinnati as people reported for appoint- ments. He said he asked ICE of- fi cers if the devices were neces- sary and was told that the “the order came from the top,” re- ferring to DHS Secretary Mark- wayne Mullin. DHS stated online last week that temporary protected status for Haitians was “terminated, ef- fective July 27, 2026.” But lawyers say that TPS cannot offi cially end until lower courts execute a Su- preme Court ruling and offi cially allow the Trump administration to terminate the program, which was fi rst established for Haiti in response to the catastrophic 2010 earthquake in that country. A DHS spokesperson dis- agreed, saying that “these activ- ist lower court judges are openly defying the Supreme Court on this, but the end result will be the same. Haitians with TPS can- not and will not be able to stay.” Jessica Bansal, an attorney focused on TPS litigation with the National Day Laborer Orga- nizing Network, said that “for all practical intents and purposes, there is no longer any protec- tion.” Ruby Powers, a Houston im- migration attorney who repre- sented clients from Venezuela who lost TPS after the admin- istration canceled it for those immigrants, said ankle monitors and more frequent ICE check-ins are a means of pressuring people to leave. “It’s the government’s way of signaling, ‘We know where you are, we are monitoring you closely, and we have the ability to detain you at any time,’” she said. Marks, the immigration attor- ney, said that whatever might happen next will change her community. “It’s going to be a very destabi- lizing event for Springfi eld,” she said.

With few options, family fl ed by boat to the middle of Lake Spokane

BY COLE REYNOLDS AND MIRIAM WALDVOGEL

Saturday started as a day of celebration for Micaela Jaime and her family. She and 14 others had gath- ered at her parents’ place, just northwest of Spokane, Wash- ington, to celebrate her daugh- ter’s 12th birthday. But by the afternoon, Jaime was receiving text messages warning that her neighborhood of Five Mile Prai- rie was under evacuation orders as wildfi res tore through Spo- kane County. Her dog, Hope, was still in their house. Jaime and her hus- band tried to race home to save their pet, but the roads were al- ready blocked. A friend rescued the dog, and Jaime returned to her parents’ place on Lake Spo- kane, where she fi gured they’d be safe. By the evening though, an- other fi re was raging along the lake, and police urged them to evacuate. The roads were packed with other evacuees by 7 p.m., Jaime said. Instead, the family grabbed photo albums, among other valuables, and a cat, then loaded into two boats. They set off toward the mid- dle of Lake Spokane with hous- es exploding in fi rework-like booms on both sides. For hours, they watched the dark hills nearby erupt in fl ame as fi refi ghters moved from house to house, trying to salvage them. “It was surreal,” Jaime said, “watching this beautiful land just burned down and all of these gorgeous lake homes just burned to the ground.” Authorities arrested 37-year-

Nowels said a witness driving near where the fi re started saw a man standing on the side of the road looking into the trees. Then, 10 minutes later, the witness saw the man “bending down” near the grass, standing up and looking “very nervous.” Back home, the witness con- tacted police after seeing smoke emerging from the same area, Nowels said at a news briefi ng late Monday. When he was detained, Far- inacci was found with water- proof matches and a butane lighter, Nowels said. The suspect has a 2012 con- viction for manslaughter in Arizona, Nowels said.

He had initially been charged with fi rst-degree murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter and ag- gravated assault, according to Maricopa County court records. He was in prison from 2012 to 2020, and records showed he was discharged from probation in 2024. The Old Trails Fire was fi rst reported Saturday afternoon.

have been placed under evacua- tion orders, authorities said. The origins of the two other wildfi res in the area, Autumn Lane and Fairview, are still un- der investigation. More than 8,026 acres have burned in total in all the area’s fi res since Saturday, with zero percent of the fi re contained, Spokane’s Complex Fire Inci- dent Management Team said in its latest incident update. The Pacifi c Northwest has been in a drought since May, and Gov. Bob Ferguson (D) de- clared a statewide state of emer- gency Saturday because of the drought conditions, unusually high temperatures and high winds heightening fi re risks.

But fi re conditions rapidly worsened over the weekend, particularly Saturday, when the Storm Prediction Center called for an “extremely critical” wild- fi re risk in southeastern Wash- ington and northern Oregon. The Old Trails Fire was re- ported burning west of Spokane on Saturday afternoon. That evening, the fi re leaped the Spo-

Citing Spokane’s mayor, he called the fi res “likely the worst natural disaster in Spokane’s history.” Since Monday, there have been minor improvement in fi re weather conditions across the Pacifi c Northwest, which should allow fi refi ghters to make prog- ress. Winds have relaxed in the absence of any large high- or low-pressure systems. But the lack of large storm systems also means no rain, so the area re- mains hot and dry. A heat advisory is in eff ect for much of the Columbia River Basin, and the hot temperatures will lead to more evaporation of any moisture left in vegetation. That further dries out the land-

She said she’d heard popping noises in the distance but didn’t think much of it as she grabbed her laptop on the way out the door. As she fl ed with her boy- friend, fl ames got so close to the

scape. There’s still a fi re weather warning in eff ect in western Or- egon. Air quality, meanwhile, is very poor across the Pacifi c Northwest. Air quality alerts are in eff ect for most of Washing- ton, Oregon and Idaho. Oregon environmental quality offi cials have warned locals to limit out- door activities if smoky condi- tions persist. The smoke will continue to be a problem for the entire- ty of Washington and Oregon through Wednesday, around which point a slight push of westerly winds will shift the worst eastward toward the Ida- ho border.

car that they could feel the heat as they drove. The popping she’d heard earlier, she realized, was the fi re fl attening her neighbor’s house. “I drive this Indian Trail Road every day,” Brantley said. “See- ing this house that we see every single day just completely gone and their car just gone was real- ly bizarre.” Large swaths of northern Spokane remained under Lev- el 3 evacuation orders Monday, and two of the fi res had zero percent containment, according to Watch Duty, a platform that tracks wildfi res. Temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 90s starting Wednesday. Humidity levels are expected to be low. State offi cials have request- ed federal assistance for six counties and three tribal na- tions, including for search and rescue. Ferguson said Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had not yet approved the request but had begun moving resources to the state in anticipation that it would be granted. After a night in the cabin, Jaime took her kids to Idaho. On Monday, her house was still under evacuation orders, and the fl ames still threatened her parents’ home on Lake Spokane. More relatives headed to Ida- ho to join her, too. But her fa- ther stayed at his house, Jaime said, armed with a hose and a determination to keep it stand- ing. And he has the boat, she added, in case he needs another getaway.

House committee to investigate Miller on abuse claims

BY MARIANA ALFARO AND AMY B WANG

The House Ethics Committee announced Tuesday that it is in- vestigating allegations that Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) engaged in domestic violence and illegal drug use after Miller’s ex-wife ac- cused him of physically abusing her and their daughter. Ahead of the committee’s an- nouncement, Miller said that he would be turning in docu- ments himself to kick-start an ethics investigation into his own conduct. It’s not clear whether Miller’s statement triggered the investigation or whether it was previously underway. “I am going to fi le my own paperwork for an ethics inves- tigation into myself to clear my name from these horrifi c attacks on myself and family,” Miller wrote on X. “I have absolutely nothing to hide. We will be pro- viding the committee all neces- sary documents needed for a de- tail examination.” In a statement Tuesday, the Ethics Committee — which is made up of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans — said it is looking into the allega- tions but that its investigation “does not itself indicate that any violation [of House rules] has oc- curred.” Emily Moreno, Miller’s ex- wife, has accused the congress- man of physically hurting her and their 2-year-old daughter. Miller has long denied the alle- gations. Miller, who has been in the House since 2023, has said he will not drop his reelection bid. On Tuesday, he said he is “look- ing forward” to having his House colleagues review his case. It is unclear whether Miller al- ready has fi led paperwork and, if so, whether he fi led to the House Ethics Committee or to the Of-

fi ce of Congressional Conduct, a nonpartisan watchdog. If the former, the Ethics Committee would not be able to vote to start a formal investigation until the House returns from its August recess. In a contentious interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tues- day, Miller relayed that Presi- dent Donald Trump called him Monday morning and told him that if he doesn’t drop his reelec- tion bid, “it’s going to be a tough race.” “He said, ‘I don’t know if you’re going to be able to pull this one out,’” Miller recounted the president saying. But Miller said he has “the same resilience” that Trump had in 2016 when he refused to drop out of the presidential race in

the wake of multiple accusations of sexual misconduct. “I am going to be successful in November,” Miller said, adding that nobody has told him to get off the ballot, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Loui- siana). In the CNN interview, Miller insisted he will not step away from public life because he doesn’t want his daughter to see him as “a quitter.” Miller invited the House Eth- ics Committee to investigate him, citing law enforcement re- views of some of his ex-wife’s al- legations. “I’ve already been looked into,” he said. “I’m happy to be looked into again.” Moreno’s father, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), said Sunday

that Miller is not fi t to be in Con- gress. Democrats have also called on the congressman to withdraw from his reelection race. Miller and Emily Moreno mar- ried in August 2022, had their daughter in November 2023 and divorced in June 2025. In court fi lings, Emily Moreno said that on the day she planned to leave Miller, he threw hot wa- ter on her from a pan of eggs he had just cooked. She said that caused her to fall to the fl oor and that Miller afterward sprayed her with the sink hose. In a lengthy live-streamed video posted Sunday, Miller dis- missed that incident as “horse- play.” “I sprayed water at her from the sprayer attached to our kitchen sink tap water, which

does not reach boiling tempera- ture or scalding,” Miller said. Emily Moreno has also ac- cused Miller of harming their 2-year-old daughter, who in Feb- ruary suff ered a fractured col- larbone and had “a bruise that accompanies the injury that ap- pears to be in a handprint and appears to have been infl icted,” according to a police report. The report said Moreno told police that the congressman once held a gun to her head and was phys- ically abusive to her in front of their daughter. Miller has claimed his ex-wife fabricated the allegations be- cause she is mentally ill, which Moreno’s attorneys have previ- ously denied. Miller has also ac- cused her of domestic violence, but a judge formally dismissed Miller’s case against Moreno last week. Miller and Moreno already have restraining orders against each other. On Thursday, More- no fi led for a new restraining order against Miller on behalf of her attorneys, alleging that the congressman grabbed one of her attorneys during a court hearing. Bernie Moreno, who be- fore last week had not publicly commented on the allegations against Miller, on Sunday called his former son-in-law “a danger” and said he could no longer keep the matter private. “It has been horrifi c to watch this play out in full public view, all while knowing an innocent 2-year-old girl is caught in the middle,” the senator wrote on X. The senator said Tuesday that during a custody exchange of his granddaughter on Sunday, Mill- er would not hand over her fa- vorite stuff ed blue bunny. “This is truly the seventh level of hell. … My daughter lives in constant fear of this man, not like something that’s existential, but deeply in her heart, she fears

what this guy is capable of,” Ber- nie Moreno said. On Tuesday, Emily Moreno’s attorneys accused Miller of re- leasing sensitive photos of the couple’s daughter after Miller’s team published a trove of doc- uments to a publicly accessible Dropbox account on Sunday fol- lowing his live stream. Miller, in the stream, said he’d publish the documents to prove that Moreno made false allegations. In a statement Tuesday, Mill- er attorney Aaron Minc took re- sponsibility for the publishing of the toddler’s pictures. Minc said he “unfortunately” missed the last three pages of a document that included the sensitive im- ages. Later Tuesday, Moreno asked the court to hold Miller in con- tempt for failing to comply with their shared-parenting plan, arguing that the release of the documents violated their child’s privacy and amounted to Mill- er using their child for political purposes. Separately, Miller’s ex-girl- friend Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press sec- retary, asked for a temporary restraining order against him on Monday. Grisham, in a 2021 Washing- ton Post op-ed, accused a former partner of being violent toward her during their time working in the White House. While Grisham didn’t name Miller in the piece, Miller sued her within hours of its publishing, accusing her of making “libelous and defama- tory statements.” Grisham later identifi ed the partner as Miller. In her Monday fi ling, Grisham asked that Miller remove his re- cent posts on X accusing her of fabricating allegations against him. According to Grisham’s at- torney, Mark Zaid, Miller has to respond to her request on or be- fore Aug. 17.

Some AI systems could be exempt from security review process

BY IAN DUNCAN

The White House told top technology companies Tuesday that it would exempt certain artifi cial intelligence systems from its plans for government vetting of new AI models, giv- ing free tools known as “open weight” models a pass and fo- cusing scrutiny on the latest technology from leading U.S. companies like OpenAI and An- thropic. The White House briefed companies on a framework for voluntary government review of new AI models for potential cybersecurity risks that was developed under an executive order signed by President Don- ald Trump in June. The policy is designed to give the govern- ment a head start to protect its computer networks and those of key industries like banking and health care against new AI capabilities. The plan to exclude open weight models from review was described by two people who spoke on the condition of an- onymity to describe a private briefi ng. Several Chinese AI fi rms have recently released open models widely seen as close in capa-

SpaceX posts loss of $541 million in fi rst report since record-setting IPO

BY FAIZ SIDDIQUI

SpaceX reported a loss of more than $500 million in its fi rst quarterly earnings report since taking its stock public in June, a continuation of the defi - cits for the Elon Musk-led fi rm with designs on domination of an emerging space economy. The company’s stock had ral- lied earlier Tuesday, jumping more than 10 percent by late af- ternoon. It was among the fi rst positive signs in weeks for the fl agging stock, which fl ourished

bility to the best commercial AI technology from American companies. The White House decision to exempt open mod- els from its new AI framework could be seen as an incentive for U.S. fi rms to invest in compet- ing open models. The White House is not ex- pected to publicly release the full framework for reviewing AI models. In recent weeks many Amer- ican tech companies and inves- tors have publicly argued that the United States should move to guarantee access to open models, which are favored by many in Silicon Valley because they can be built upon cheaply by start-ups. A carve-out from the new security review process represents a small victory for that camp. An administration offi cial confi rmed Monday that its work on the framework was complete. The White House declined to answer questions on Tuesday’s briefi ng and the exemption for open models. “The voluntary framework advances the Trump Adminis- tration’s America First cyberse- curity strategy by strengthen- ing our national security and cementing American AI dom-

after a record-setting debut but plummeted soon after, shedding around half its value from its all- time high, as investors digested the fi nancials and road map of a company that said it plans to put data centers in space and es- tablish a colony on Mars. SpaceX said its quarterly loss of $541 mil- lion was an improvement over the year prior, when it shed $1 billion during the same period. On its earnings call, the company touted its revenue of $7.8 billion, nearly double the fi gure from the same period a year prior, largely

inance,” White House spokes- woman Liz Huston said in an email statement. “Companies that choose to collaborate with the Administration through this framework are putting Amer- ican innovation, security, and cyberdefense fi rst.” The framework was fi nalized in recent days after months of uncertainty as Trump adminis- tration offi cials scrambled to re- spond to the computer hacking risks posed by the latest gener- ation of AI models, which can rapidly identify novel security fl aws in software. In June, offi cials used export controls to eff ectively force An- thropic, maker of the chatbot Claude, to take its new fl agship AI model offl ine. Rival AI devel- oper OpenAI was pushed to lim- it the release of one of its new systems. (The Washington Post has a content partnership with OpenAI.) The restrictions on OpenAI and Anthropic, seen as the champions of the U.S. AI indus- try, proved short-lived. But they called into question the ability of the fast-moving industry to continue rapidly pushing out increasingly capable products. The White House frame- work on which tech fi rms were

on the back of its satellite-based internet service Starlink. The company raised $75 bil- lion after pricing its shares at $135 each in June, and its stock began trading at $150 per share. In the run-up to going public, SpaceX had disclosed a track record of losses, including $13 billion since the start of 2023. Tuesday’s results continued that trend but appeared to off set the damage partially, following loss- es of nearly $4.3 billion in the fi rst quarter of 2026. With Tues- day’s result, SpaceX’s losses since

briefed Tuesday represents an eff ort to provide some clarity. But the decision not to release it publicly triggered questions about the transparency of the review process. “Remember what this pro- gram does: it gives the gov- ernment early access to cut- ting-edge tools and a potential veto over whether the rest of us ever use them,” Neil Chilson, the head of AI policy at the Abun- dance Institute, a think tank, wrote on X. “Doing that in secret is no way for a democracy to govern what may be the most import- ant technology of our lifetimes,” Chilson said. Trump returned to offi ce last year with vocal support from some parts of the tech industry and swiftly began dismantling Biden-era rules on AI, aiming to speed up innovation. That approach began to change in April, when Anthropic an- nounced it had developed a new model, Mythos, that it said was too dangerous for public release owing to its prowess at comput- er hacking. The announcement ultimate- ly led to Trump’s executive or- der calling for voluntary gov- ernment review of the security

the beginning of 2026 are over $4.8 billion. SpaceX’s losses are largely driven by its investments in ar- tifi cial intelligence through xAI, the start-up that Musk founded to compete with the makers of other leading large-language- model-based chatbots and was ultimately absorbed into the rocket company. Musk, who has issued over- ly optimistic predictions in the past, has outlined a belief that SpaceX would become “worth more than Earth if we achieve

implications of new and highly capable AI models. The administration’s frame- work for that process that tech fi rms were briefed on Tuesday calls for a fairly limited review of powerful new AI models, giv- ing the government up to 30 days of early access. The thresh- old used to determine which models are subject to the extra scrutiny will be classifi ed, ac- cording to the order. The executive order describes the process as voluntary, but ex- perts say that after the admin- istration showed it is willing to use export controls on U.S. AI companies, it would be diffi cult for any company to opt out. Some lawmakers have ques- tioned the administration’s ap- proach. On Tuesday, a group of Democratic senators wrote to Trump offi cials saying their current approach threatened to both undermine the competi- tiveness of American AI compa- nies, giving China a boost, and inadequately address security risks. They called on the White House to work with Congress to pass a more “predictable” set of rules. “Clear standards will strengthen, not weaken, na- tional security by preserving

our goals.” Analysts, however, have sig- naled caution about SpaceX’s near-term road map. The com- pany faces looming expirations of lockups, where those who ac- quired shares at low prices are allowed to sell their stakes on a market that has put a premium on their value. Soon after the re- sults were announced, the com- pany’s stock sunk in after-hours trading. It fell even further after the earnings call, where Musk touted a “milestone year” but failed to fully quell investor con-

incentives to build and use trusted American models while allowing the Government to act quickly when genuine risks arise,” the senators wrote. In the weeks since Trump signed the order that led to the new framework for reviewing AI models, the question of how to assess their safety has taken on greater urgency. Last month, both Anthropic and OpenAI disclosed incidents in which systems being tested internally made their way onto the open internet and hacked into other companies. The in- cidents were an indication that experts’ long-held fears of AI going rogue had come to pass, even when the systems were supposed to be locked away from the public. Hours after the White House briefi ng, British government AI security experts said they had identifi ed new cases of both Anthropic and OpenAI systems taking “sustained, potentially harmful activity directed at real people.” The agency described an eff ort by one AI agent to trick a human into inserting harmful code into a software project.

cerns about SpaceX’s level of capital spending. Shay Boloor, chief market strategist at Futurum, which provides market research and advisory services, said Starlink’s successes were a bright spot for SpaceX. “The clearest cushion for investors remains Starlink,” he said, pointing to fi gures such as the connectivity segment’s revenue and operating income. He said SpaceX’s available cash and funding sources meant it wasn’t fueling its AI push “from a position of fi nancial weakness.”

AG nomination advances after standoff over Trump fund

BLANCHE FROM A1

[this] corrupt president would fi nd a new Todd Blanche,” Welch said. The committee’s vote Tuesday clears the way for the full Senate to hold a fi nal vote on Blanche’s confi rmation, potentially as ear- ly as this week. Blanche can only aff ord to lose two GOP votes in the full Senate, given the expec- tation of united opposition from Democrats and the continued absence of Sen. Mitch McCo- nnell (R-Kentucky), who is re- covering after suff ering a fall. Several Republicans have yet to pledge their support. While Republicans on the Ju- diciary Committee were unifi ed in backing Blanche, Tuesday’s hearing revealed emerging fault lines between GOP lawmakers and the Trump administration over the direction the Justice Department has taken over the past year and a half. . Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) — the Judiciary Committee’s chairman and a reliable Trump loyalist who praised Blanche as an exemplary nominee — none- theless called it “a crime” that it had taken the White House and the Justice Department so long to address Cornyn’s and Tillis’s concerns about Trump’s IRS deal. He also added that he shared the senators’ concerns. Tillis criticized the depart- ment’s prosecution of former FBI director James B. Comey, the latest case the department has pursued at Trump’s urging against his perceived political foes. Comey was indicted this year after posting on social media a photo of seashells arranged to spell “86 47,” which prosecu- tors have charged was a subtle threat against the president’s life — allegations the former FBI director has denied. Trump is the 47th president, and 86 commonly means to “get rid of” something. “Some bonehead in North Carolina thinks that that’s a crime,” Tillis said Tuesday. “Well, they better damn sure have information to back it up, because if all it is is a picture, that person should lose his job.” Of Blanche, the senator add- ed, “What I hope to see out of him is a bending of the curve of this absurdity.” Cornyn, who praised Blanche’s willingness to address questions about the IRS deal, beseeched the nominee to use “when necessary” the trust he has built with Trump as his per- sonal lawyer.

“@POTUS needs someone in this role with a strong le- gal mind, but who also is close enough to him to give him con- fi dential legal advice, and to tell him hard truths,” Cornyn posted after the hearing. “I would ad- vise Mr. Blanche not to be afraid to capitalize on that earned trust when necessary for the good of the country.” Democrats maintained Tues- day that Blanche, at every step, has demonstrated an inability — or an unwillingness — to do so. In his brief but tumultuous tenure, they argued, Blanche has overseen a hollowing out of the Justice Department’s ranks and defended Trump’s eff orts to erode its traditional indepen- dence. They accused Blanche of us- ing the department’s resources to enrich the president, pur- sue his political vendettas, and stage-manage the end of his IRS lawsuit to create a deal designed to personally benefi t Trump and his allies at the expense of American taxpayers. “The fundamental problem with Todd Blanche is not that he’s inexperienced, not that he’s not capable, not that he’s not in- telligent. The problem with con- fi rming Todd Blanche is that he has never been able to shed his role as criminal defense lawyer for Donald Trump. He just can’t do it,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Cal- ifornia) said. “He does not rep- resent the American people. … He will only do what’s best for Donald Trump.” The Judiciary Committee vote was expected to be the chief hurdle Blanche faced in the nomination process. Several Republican senators have not yet committed their votes to confi rm him, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, all three of whom declined to say Tuesday which way they were leaning. Yet, many GOP lawmakers said they were reassured by the con- cessions Tillis and Cornyn had extracted from Blanche. In addition to the written commitment eliminating the nearly $1.8 billion payout fund, Blanche has also clarifi ed anoth- er aspect of Trump’s deal, one that shields the president, his sons and their businesses from past tax claims. Blanche said Sunday those protections apply “only retroactively” and would not bar the IRS from auditing the Trumps moving forward. Those protections alone could still provide an unusually lucra- tive benefi t to a president who

has often complained that he has been targeted by repeated IRS audits. Heading into an expected confi rmation vote later this week, Democrats are hopeful they can still drum up enough concern over the deal’s tax pro- tections and the possibility of a payout fund revival to defeat Blanche’s nomination — espe- cially as Trump has continued to express support for the idea of compensating those he believes were unfairly prosecuted under the Biden and Obama adminis- trations, such as the defendants convicted of playing a role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) described the written assurances Blanche pro- vided Cornyn and Tillis earlier this week as eff ectively mean- ingless. “There is enough weasel room in these documents to drive a truck through‚” he said.

The collapse of Trump’s Refl ecting Pool vandalism case

POOL FROM A1

timely manner. Trump lashed out at Pirro on social media and delivered a “very pointed” message in a phone call Saturday, a White House offi cial said. On Monday, he renewed the criticism from the Oval Offi ce, saying she had “folded like an umbrella.” The Refl ecting Pool proj- ect, intended as a showcase for Trump’s ability to quickly get things done, has instead be- come a speed bump in his sec- ond term. Its problem-riddled rollout comes as Trump press- es ahead with larger and more complex projects that would remake Washington’s skyline, including a new White House ballroom and a 250-foot-tall tri- umphal arch. The pool was drained again July 10 for more repairs. Government records “strong- ly suggest that a rushed and botched installation by AIC, the primary contractor,” led to the visible damage in the pool’s new liner, Pirro and one of her deputies wrote in the fi ling Fri- day. Pirro accused the Interior Department of withholding rele- vant documents that would have scuttled the investigation. The pool’s problems had sparked tirades from Trump in- side the White House, and the president soon grew angry for another reason: Pirro did not give the White House a heads- up about dropping the charges, a White House offi cial said. The president spoke with her by phone Saturday to discuss the decision, a call fi rst reported by CNN. Trump publicly turned his ire on Pirro too, saying on social media he disagreed “100%” with her decision and again insisting that vandals were to blame. In- terior Secretary Doug Burgum chimed in to agree that vandals “repeatedly” damaged the site, claiming the acts were caught on camera and insisting his agency had been forthcoming with Jus- tice Department lawyers. The White House and Interi- or Department declined further comment, referring to Trump and Burgum’s posts. Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the contrac- tor, did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Outside observers for weeks had dismissed claims of wide- spread vandalism. A Washington Post analysis of satellite imagery and photos and videos taken in June during the renovation con- cluded that the basin’s peeling was probably caused by appli- cation errors. Waterproofi ng ex- perts who reviewed the evidence reached the same conclusion. The administration publicly disputed that the coating had been improperly applied, but on Monday, Trump acknowledged some frustration with contrac- tors’ work. “I’m not saying I was 100 per- cent thrilled with the contractor, but the contractor was rush- ing,” he said in the Oval Offi ce, noting that workers had a tight deadline. He saved his sharpest words for Pirro. “I guess she choked. I don’t know what the hell happened,” he said. Pirro, a former Fox News host, had been a staunch defender of the president before joining his administration, and in her cur- rent role had pursued several claims of wrongdoing involv- ing Trump’s perceived political foes — having setbacks in court along the way, including a failed attempt to prosecute a D.C. man for misdemeanor assault after throwing a sandwich at a federal agent last year. The 20-page fi ling by prose- cutors to drop Hearn’s case was extraordinary not only because it contradicted what Trump and Pirro had said publicly about charges, but because it painstak- ingly outlined Interior Depart- ment documents showing prob- lems with the liner’s installation and how prosecutors came to feel deceived. Pirro reviewed and signed off on the motion af- ter speaking with Michael Spen- ce, the chief of the unit handling Superior Court cases in the U.S. attorney’s offi ce, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Norm Eisen, a lawyer for Hearn, said he did not accept the claim that the Justice Depart- ment was unaware of evidence indicating Hearn’s innocence. Eisen cited public photographs and reports demonstrating that the damage probably stemmed from contractor errors. “The idea that Jeanine Pirro and her offi ce were somehow hornswoggled by Interior is not credible,” Eisen said. This account is drawn from interviews with Justice, Interi- or and White House offi cials as

well as public statements and documents disclosed by the Trump administration in legal battles over the Refl ecting Pool. Some of the people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to dis- cuss matters publicly. Trump decided to revamp the century-old pool early this year, saying that friends had criti- cized the historic site’s appear- ance and smell. “I was getting complaints from people saying that it wasn’t good,” Trump told reporters. “I called Doug [Burgum] and he agreed.” The pool’s last signifi cant renovation began during the Obama administration, took sev- eral years and cost $34 million. Trump concluded he could do it much faster and far cheaper. The president also believed he could personally drive the project, having transformed the relationship between the White House and National Park Ser- vice staff . Trump had torn down the White House’s East Wing to build a planned 90,000-square- foot ballroom addition, begun planning a triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery and envisioned other major projects on federal parkland, such as renovating several golf courses. The pool, in compari- son, felt straightforward, Trump would tell allies. The administration had also stripped away layers between on-the-ground Park Service em- ployees and senior Interior and White House offi cials. Many senior Park Service employees left amid U.S. DOGE Service cuts last year that reduced the agency’s staff by about a quarter, leaving fewer experienced offi - cials between junior staff and political appointees. Offi cials with little historic preservation experience wound up making construction deci- sions while Park Service staff with experience renovating the Mall would end up being side- lined. By March, the National Park Service was fast-tracking the pool project at the White House’s direction. The changes, which included applying a new tinted epoxy to its basin, did not undergo the normally required reviews because “there is no option other” than to speed the project to meet the administra- tion’s timeline, a Park Service offi cial wrote in a March 30 doc- ument. Trump unveiled the project in the Oval Offi ce on April 23, releasing an accompanying pro- motional video later that day and calling it a “business study.” “It will look far more beauti- ful, more beautiful than it did in 1922 when they built it,” Trump said. Rather than spend years and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars, he said, his

renovation would cost less than $2 million and take less than two weeks. That cost would later balloon. Almost immediately, historic preservationists and past ad- ministration offi cials cautioned Trump was moving too quickly. Charles A. Birnbaum, who heads the Cultural Landscape Foundation, an education and advocacy organization focused on historic sites, said after Trump’s announcement that he didn’t understand how “some- thing so important could be changed without testing” the new materials. “The notion has been, do the work and ask questions later,” Birnbaum said, referencing Trump’s other local construc- tion projects, such as his demo- lition of the White House’s East Wing to build a new ballroom. Birnbaum’s group also sued to stop the pool project, although a judge rejected an injunction. The work on the pool began May 5, as contractors cleaned the site and began spraying a specialized protective coating, Rhino 406, on a portion of the basin, according to the Justice Department. Then on May 6 it rained, forcing workers to pause for a day. Behind the scenes, warning signs came quickly. “It appears AIC is signifi cant- ly behind schedule,” an employ- ee with a contractor responsible for monitoring AIC’s progress wrote in an email shared with Interior Department offi cials on May 7, according to the Justice Department. More delays followed. Rain repeatedly halted work, and contractors ran out of Rhino 406 on May 18, forcing another pause until more supplies ar- rived, according to the Justice Department. The job was largely complete by June 7, and workers began refi lling the pool. A fi nal inspec- tion was held June 9, the Justice Department wrote, as the pool offi cially opened — one month

later, and costing more than $12 million more than Trump had originally promised. The cleaned-up pool initially won some bipartisan praise, and the president posted a fl urry of photos to his social media ac- count. Trump also shared imag- es of the pool looking grimy and fi lled with trash — saying that was its appearance under pre- decessor Joe Biden — compared with a pristine pool that he said was due to his leadership. “Everybody’s looking at that refl ecting pool; they can’t be- lieve it refl ects,” Trump said in the Oval Offi ce the following day. “When I’m here, it’ll be perfect.” The next day, a Park Service engineer concluded that the pool’s new liner had already be- gun to peel, blaming contractor error, according to documents released Friday by the Justice Department. Soon, passersby noticed the peeling too. Hearn told The Post that when he visited the pool on June 19, he saw a piece of liner that was already partially detached from the pool bottom and reached into the water to see what it felt like. He was quickly arrested by U.S. Park Police offi cers and charged with vandalizing the site. More arrests followed. The charges gave adminis- tration offi cials cover for their claim that the pool’s problems stemmed from deliberate dam- age. But none of those arrested were accused of the most serious conduct that Trump publicly al- leged — using blades or chemi- cals to damage the liner. “They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, com- petence, and money to build and complete. They also poured cor- rosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on June 20, increas- ing the length of the gash to 300 and then 350 feet in subsequent posts. Frank Lands, the Park Ser-

vice’s deputy director, also told a federal judge in a separate case on June 24 that foam sealant on the pool had been “cut with a sharp knife or razor.” Lands, a former Army deputy garrison commander who joined the Park Service in 2021, had become a central fi gure in carrying out Trump’s policies in Washington. He declined to comment to The Post. Pirro, whose offi ce handles prosecutions of both local and federal crimes in D.C., initially framed the alleged vandalism as an assault on Americans’ shared heritage. She visited the pool on July 1 to inspect the damage, ac- cording to court records. When a grand jury indicted Hearn the next day on a felony charge of destruction of property — the sole felony vandalism charge pursued in connection with the pool — Pirro gave a news con- ference and later a Fox News in- terview in which she described him “forcefully and violently” tugging at the liner with both hands and shouting at a Park Service employee who told him to stop. “I didn’t charge anything harshly,” she told reporters at the time, adding that “there was tremendous damage.” But inside the U.S. attorney’s offi ce, frustration was building with Interior offi cials, who had yet to furnish the information prosecutors were requesting about the damage to the pool. All the prosecutors had were a set of “bare-bones” police re- ports from the Park Service of- fi cers who had arrested Hearn and three other defendants who were charged with misdemean- or off enses, according to a Jus- tice Department fi ling. When Hearn’s defense team toured the site on July 17, Pir- ro visited again. With the pool drained, prosecutors could see the damage more clearly, accord- ing to her offi ce’s court fi ling. The peeling wasn’t just around the edges, court papers say, but in the middle of the pool too — spots that would have been very diffi cult for vandals to reach. Pirro said her offi ce immedi- ately requested Interior Depart- ment records about the liner in- stallation process. “These documents indicated a rushed and fl awed installation process, with repeated failures of the lining during the instal- lation process, and extensive peeling of the lining through- out the Refl ecting Pool,” Pirro’s offi ce said in the court fi ling. The records included emails and reports documenting the liner’s installation fl aws, rain-related setbacks, blistering and peeling — all of it in writing before the charges had been fi led in court. “Had [the Interior Depart- ment] been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession, the government

would not have sought a grand jury indictment,” the fi ling said. Prosecutors also dropped the charges against the three people facing misdemeanors. One of them, Justin Carreno, lost his job as a government con- tractor because of the case and suff ered reputational damage, according to his lawyer David Benowitz. “The charge never should have been brought in the fi rst place,” Benowitz said. The Justice Department could try to charge the cases again, but it would be diffi cult given prose- cutors’ conclusions in the fi ling. Trump has seemingly contin- ued his own investigation. On Saturday, the president shared security footage on Truth Social that showed people with their hands in the refl ecting pool. “Look for yourselves at the VANDALISM that took place at The Refl ecting Pool,” he wrote. “The material is being cut with a knife or a box cutter, for all to see!” The video shows three people reaching into the water along the north edge of the pool, but it is not clear whether any- one is holding a knife or a box cutter. The video appears to be a lon- ger version of a clip previously shared by the U.S. Park Police on June 24 seeking the public’s help identifying a person in the foot- age. Police said it was recorded on June 19 at 3:36 p.m., roughly an hour before Hearn was ap- proached by offi cers. The saga has angered con- gressional Democrats, who have launched investigations into Trump’s project and say that passersby never should have been arrested, and left some Re- publican lawmakers bemused and befuddled. “It’s pretty close to a textbook defi nition of kakistocracy,” said Rep. Jared Huff man (D-Cali- fornia), the top Democrat on a House committee that oversees the national parkland where the Refl ecting Pool is located. “Pirro is between the proverbial rock and a hard place — getting fi red if she tells the truth, or getting disbarred if she continues to lie.” Among the Republicans struggling to make sense of the episode was Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana). “The whole thing is a multi- ple vehicle pileup,” he said Sun- day on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” musing about Trump and Pirro’s motivations. “I don’t know why she fi led the suit without doing a full investigation. She says she relied on the Department of In- terior. But she was smart to pull it back.” The pool is closed until Aug. 10 for more renovations, the ad- ministration has said in court fi lings.

and dehydration. On July 24, federal offi cials had linked illnesses in nine states to the outbreak. The CDC has said epidemiological and trace-back data continues to show that iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico was contaminated with the parasite that has made people sick. The newly linked states join Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Ken- tucky, Michigan, Ohio, Okla- homa, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Taylor Farms recalled shred- ded iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico on July 17 after investigators linked the product to illnesses among people who had eaten at Taco Bell. The company said the let- tuce was distributed from June 29 through July 16 through food-service channels and retail stores in 27 states. Federal investigators so far have publicly linked illnesses to only a portion of the states where the company said the re- called lettuce was distributed. Federal offi cials are also inves- tigating outbreaks and illness in more than two-dozen states that have not been linked to the 15-state outbreak. The sourc- es of other outbreaks have not been identifi ed or tied to Taylor Farms.

During foodborne-illness outbreaks, the CDC is charged with trying to identify the food sickening Americans, relying on labor-intensive disease detec- tive work that includes detailed interviews with people about what they ate, where they ate it and when. The Food and Drug Administration works to deter- mine who produced the con- taminated food and works with food companies to stop it from being sold. The FDA also tries to identify how the food may have become contaminated. The new cases being reported don’t necessarily mean the risk is still ongoing, experts have said. The true number of sick people in the multistate out- break is probably higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses, the CDC has said. The incubation period is long, and some people recover without medical care and are not tested for cyclospora. Re- cent illnesses may not yet be reported because it can take as long as six weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an out- break. “We’re always trying to fi g- ure out what is the risk today of going and eating a salad, for example,” said Craig Hedberg, a professor at the University of Minnesota’s division of environ- mental health sciences.

Lax oversight of GI Bill has given way to chicanery, fraud

GI BILL FROM A1

Ryan DiFranco, a Marine veteran who said the school’s defi cient training caused him to lose three jobs. “It’s a nightmare that lives in the back of my mind all the time.” The GI Bill ranks as one of the most popular benefi t programs in U.S. history. Since its incep- tion near the end of World War II, more than 25 million veterans have relied on it to pay for col- lege, job training and other ben- efi ts. Some economists credit the GI Bill with helping to expand America’s middle class. Military recruiters tout it as a critical in- centive for volunteers to enlist in the armed forces. Last year, taxpayers spent more than $11 billion to edu- cate about 666,000 people under the GI Bill. Over the past two decades, Congress has passed laws to make the GI Bill more generous and fl exible. Veterans no longer must use their bene- fi ts within a few years of leaving the armed forces, and they can transfer benefi ts to their spouses or children. But lax government over- sight has given rise to chicanery and fraud, allowing predatory for-profi t trade schools to cheat thousands of veterans out of training intended to help them build new careers, The Post found. Part of the problem is a loop- hole that allows trade schools to charge exorbitant prices for brief, often rudimentary classes. The GI Bill generally covers up to 36 months of expenses for students enrolled in college or vocational school. VA now pays a maximum of $30,908 annual- ly in tuition at most private and for-profi t schools. Lower limits apply to public institutions. While the annual cap is de- signed to prevent price gouging, VA has no standard for mini- mum course length. Because schools bill VA directly for tui- tion, veterans who enroll in ex- pensive short-term classes often don’t pay close attention to how much they cost. Another fundamental prob- lem: a dearth of rules governing the quality of training at trade schools. Unlike other federal stu- dent-aid programs, the GI Bill does not require trade schools to obtain academic accreditation. Lawmakers carved out an excep- tion to allow veterans to attend vocational schools that do not grant degrees, as well as work- study programs and apprentice- ships. The weak regulations are compounded by poor super- vision. VA has contractual ar- rangements with state offi cials to help approve and monitor GI Bill schools — especially un- accredited ones — and to make sure they comply with the few quality-assurance standards that exist. Many state agencies, in turn, lack resources to be ef- fective watchdogs, according to veteran advocacy groups and the agencies themselves. Trade schools have largely es- caped scrutiny because lawmak- ers and VA offi cials have focused their attention for the past two decades on the rapid growth of online colleges and universities that cater to veterans but have drawn complaints about quality. Trade schools, which students are required to attend in person, are a far smaller group. But they account for an outsize share of GI Bill fraud, The Post found. The Post made multiple re- quests to interview Kenneth Smith, the executive director of VA’s Education Service, for this investigation. The department declined. In response to a written list of questions, VA Press Secretary Quinn Slaven said The Post’s fi ndings that more than $300 million has been lost to fraud during roughly the past decade represents “less than 0.3 per- cent of VA’s educational budget” during that period, “underscor- ing the fact that protecting Vet- erans and taxpayers from fraud is a top VA priority.” At the same time, he blamed state governments for enabling fraud within the GI Bill program. “The problem is that many state-level bureaucrats have looked the other way for years as fraudsters robbed government programs blind,” Slaven said in an emailed statement. He said a White House anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance “is moving at unprece- dented speed and ferocity to root out the waste, abuse and crimi- nal exploitation of government programs in these areas and oth- ers.” To examine the scope of GI Bill fraud and gain insight into how schools cheated taxpayers

and veterans, The Post sought fi - nancial and enrollment databas- es from VA under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as well as records from investigations conducted by the VA Offi ce of Inspector General since the fi rst Trump administration. The government denied the requests, citing privacy exemp- tions. But The Post fi led a law- suit to compel the release of the material, arguing that disclosure was in the public’s interest. After a year-long legal battle, VA and its inspector general’s of- fi ce released some of the databas- es and more than 8,000 pages of documents from 20 fraud inves- tigations that resulted in crimi- nal convictions or civil fi nes. The Post also reviewed more than 10,000 pages of federal court re- cords and trial transcripts, and obtained about 1,500 pages of public records from state agen- cies in Texas, California, New Hampshire, Georgia and Florida that were responsible for moni- toring most of the 20 schools in- vestigated for fraud. The total losses to the govern- ment in those investigations ex- ceeded $300 million. Fifteen of the 20 cases involved unaccred- ited trade schools. The documents, combined with dozens of independent interviews with veterans and school offi cials, lay bare the ex- tent of the fraud for the fi rst time and underscore VA’s failure to tackle the root causes. Almost all the schools that were investigated had violated VA’s rules for years before they were caught. Most packed their courses with too many veterans and not enough civilians, or else charged veterans more — which is against the law. Investigators found that one barber college in Mississippi il- legally charged 10 times more for veterans than other students. Some schools falsely claimed they had been in operation for

years. At several trade schools, administrators had criminal re- cords that went undiscovered for years because VA and state agen- cies aren’t required to conduct background checks. Some veteran advocacy groups say that VA does not have suffi - cient tools, expertise or political will to prevent or rein in fraud. “In truth, the confi guration of the program is so fundamentally fl awed that almost anything goes at any price — and therein lies the problem,” said Barmak Nas- sirian, a vice president at Veter- ans Education Success, a Wash- ington-based nonprofi t that lobbies for GI Bill improvements. “I always wondered why the mob stuck to drug dealing and orga- nized crime. Get into this racket. It’s easier money.” According to a Post analysis of VA data, unaccredited schools cost taxpayers more money on average than accredited ones: Tuition rates at unaccredited schools were 30 percent higher. About 59,000 people, or roughly 6 percent of all GI Bill students, attended unaccredited institu- tions in 2025. Veterans also fi led complaints with VA about unaccredited pro- grams at a rate nearly fi ve times higher than for accredited ones, federal data shows.

A long history of rip-off s The GI Bill rules designed to prevent waste, fraud and abuse have been largely unchanged for decades. Two weeks after Allied forces invaded Normandy on D-Day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Servicemen’s Read- justment Act. Known as the GI Bill, it provided educational ben- efi ts and other fi nancial aid to returning veterans. Millions of former GIs took ad- vantage. So did the trade school industry. Within fi ve years, the number of for-profi t vocational schools in the United States tri-

pled, government records show. A wave of fraud followed. Many trade schools embraced dodgy marketing tactics. Some television-repair programs, for example, off ered free TV sets to get veterans in the door and then fl eeced VA for their tuition. By 1952, about 140 schools were facing criminal fraud in- vestigations. A House of Rep- resentatives report at the time concluded there was “no doubt that hundreds of millions of dol- lars have been frittered away on worthless training.” During the Korean War, as millions more veterans became eligible for GI Bill benefi ts, Con- gress imposed rules intended to ensure quality amid another in- fl ux of unaccredited, for-profi t trade schools. First, lawmakers decreed that veterans on the GI Bill could make up no more than 85 per- cent of the students in a course, and that schools had to charge the same tuition for veterans and nonveterans alike. Second, unaccredited trade schools had to be in business for at least two years before they could enroll veterans under the GI Bill. The logic behind the rules was that if a school had a track record — with at least some ci- vilians willing to pay full price — then it probably provided an adequate education. In practice, however, compliance hinged to a large degree on an honor system. Today, the government still al- lows schools to self-report their enrollment and tuition data. Auditors are supposed to visit schools to conduct compliance surveys, but they must provide notice. State agencies such as veter- ans commissions or education departments – many of them underresourced – approve and provide direct oversight of GI Bill schools on VA’s behalf under

VA requires schools to post course catalogues and calendars online, and to provide evidence to offi cials of “fi nancial sound- ness.” But state regulators — and VA — pay almost no attention to what is going on in the class- room, said Nassirian, the vice president of Veterans Education Success. “As long as the paperwork is right, the question of what did you teach and how much is a non-question,” he said. A 2018 audit by the VA inspec- tor general’s offi ce found that neither the states nor the federal government had eff ective fi nan- cial controls in place. The audit estimated that VA could make $2.3 billion in “improper” GI Bill payments over the next fi ve years. It also found that the risk of problems was “particularly high” at for-profi t schools. In his statement to The Post, Slaven, the VA press secretary, highlighted recent actions the department has taken to prevent fraud. Earlier this year, he said, VA created a tool that assigns a fraud risk score to schools. In addition, he said, VA’s Education Service started a Compliance, Investigations and Enforcement Division to spot fraud risks and refer cases to the inspector gen- eral’s offi ce. Slaven said risk factors for fraud at GI Bill schools include rapid increases in enrollment, rapid increases in tuition, a ris- ing volume of complaints, low course completion rates and “predatory advertising and re- cruiting practices.” He also said VA performs “targeted risk-based reviews” at schools that generate serious complaints or that data analysis indicates are at “serious risk of non-compliance.” “VA is focused on protecting Veterans and taxpayers from fraud like never before,” he add- ed. Between 2020 and 2024, the VA inspector general’s offi ce opened 64 investigations into suspected education fraud and referred 47 cases to the Justice Department for prosecution or civil enforcement, according to data that the offi ce provided to The Post. Most of the investigations fo- cused on unaccredited for-profi t trade schools. Current and for- mer VA offi cials, however, said they suspect those cases repre- sent only a tiny percentage of the fraud that occurs. They said VA’s education division places a high- er priority on processing pay- ments on behalf of veterans than on preventing or detecting fraud. “There’s a lot of fraud in the education program,” Michael Missal, who headed the inspec- tor general’s offi ce from 2016 to 2025, said in an interview. “We found lots of issues.” In an interview with The Post, the current VA inspector general, Cheryl Mason, said fraudulent GI Bill schools “are becoming more creative” and “sophisticated” in their schemes. “The VA is a whole pot of mon- ey. All the fraudsters see that,” she said. “They want to go af- ter taxpayer dollars that VA has been given to support our veter- ans and their families.” Mason added that unaccred- ited schools pose a special prob- lem because “there’s less inde- pendent vetting” and limited government oversight. “Staying on top of them is a challenge.”

An undercover sting In May 2018, a VA employee was startled to discover that for three years the government had been paying NTI Organic Lawn Care Institute, a trade school based in Amherst, N.H., as much as $14,900 in tuition per student to show veterans how to grow grass. Even more surprising: The course took only four or fi ve days to complete. “It could be that [a supervi- sor] is aware of how this school operates and everything is above board,” the VA employee, who worked at a payment-process- ing center in Oklahoma, emailed several colleagues at the time. “However, I felt this warranted your review.” Another VA offi cial agreed in an email that the tuition was “enormously expensive” and questioned whether a lawn-care program should qualify as a vo- cational school under the GI Bill. The discovery prompted the VA inspector general’s offi ce to open an investigation into the unaccredited lawn-care institute, which was run by a married cou- ple in their 40s, Tom and Debra Kelly. Tom had been in the lawn-care business for three decades and previously owned a turf compa- ny called “The Lawn Dawg.” Deb- ra was in charge of signing up GI Bill students and billing VA, according to court records and

investigative fi les. Investigators suspected that the NTI Organic Lawn Care In- stitute was breaking VA’s rule that tuition must cost the same for veterans and civilians; they doubted any civilians would pay $14,900 of their own money to learn how to grow grass, federal documents show. They set up an undercover sting operation. In January 2019, a special agent with the VA inspector gen- eral — posing as a former soldier named “Brendan” — called the school and secretly recorded the conversation. Brendan said he was a 100 percent disabled vet- eran with post-traumatic stress disorder and looking for a new career, according to investiga- tors’ fi les. A school employee told Bren- dan he had called the right place: The institute was the only organ- ic lawn-care school in the coun- try certifi ed under the GI Bill. His $14,900 in tuition would be fully covered by VA. At the end of the course, he’d receive a free

backpack sprayer and enough “product” to start his own grass-growing business. Debra Kelly then got on the line. She told Brendan it was so easy to make money in organic lawn care that it was like “shoot- ing fi sh in a barrel,” according to a partial transcript of the call. “This is perfect for you,” she said. A few weeks later, another un- dercover agent visited the school, posing as a divorced IT salesman who had never served in the mil- itary, according to investigators’ fi les. The agent explained that he was interested in the course be- cause he wanted to get out of the IT business and work with a buddy outdoors. This time, Tom Kelly gave the sales pitch. “We do chemical lawncare, we do organic lawncare,” he said. “We just invite everyone to the party.” As investigators suspected would happen, Tom Kelly quot- ed the undercover agent a much lower price to take the course:

$4,900, or $10,000 less than what the school charged veter- ans. Separately, agents found and interviewed three civilians who had attended the school without paying any tuition, which inves- tigators determined was done so the institute could infl ate the number of nonveteran students, the fi les show. One student said the Kellys paid him $300 to at- tend “because they needed a body for the training.” In August 2019, law enforce- ment offi cials raided the school’s offi ces, seizing records and dig- ital evidence. The school was soon forced to shut down. By then, it had charged VA about $2.1 million in tuition to educate 157 veterans, according to investigators’ fi les. Investigators presented their fi ndings to federal prosecutors. After four years, the U.S. attor- ney’s offi ce for New Hampshire decided not to bring criminal charges. Instead, the Justice De- partment fi led a civil complaint against Debra Kelly under the

False Claims Act, alleging she had defrauded VA by violating the 85 percent rule. (The com- pany and Tom Kelly were not named in the suit.) In 2024, Debra Kelly reached a settlement, agreeing to pay $200,000 to the government, court records show. Neither she nor Tom Kelly re- sponded to interview requests or questions from The Post. The Kellys divorced after the school closed, according to federal court records.

‘It was all a lie’ Before opening StoneMakers Academy in 2010, David Mon- toya had a multistate trail of bad debts and tax liens dating to the 1980s, according to federal and state court records. In his home state of New Mexico, he had spent four years in jail, the records show. In New Hampshire, Mon- toya opened the small masonry school that taught other contrac- tors a proprietary rock-building technique he had developed. Montoya‘s quick-drying mix of cement and “nanofi bers” could be molded into imitation rocks and boulders for backyard pati- os, retaining walls and decora- tive waterfalls. In a federal court fi ling, his attorney described the product as “revolutionary” and “magical,” citing glowing cus- tomer reviews. The Manchester-based busi- ness hit pay dirt two years later, when it received approval to en- roll veterans under the GI Bill. Montoya and StoneMakers sales agents marketed the school on Facebook, YouTube and oth- er websites, promising to teach veterans a lucrative new trade — in just eight days. The school emphasized that VA would cov- er full tuition, according to pro- motional brochures and videos. Courses were off ered in New Hampshire during the summer and in Florida during the winter. What StoneMakers Academy didn’t advertise was the sticker price for veterans: $18,500. Michael Nguyen, an Army veteran from Florida then in his mid-20s, signed up for a Stone- Makers class in Orlando in 2016.

In an interview with The Post, he said he paid no attention to the cost, but fi gured the school “must be legit” because VA noti- fi ed him that it would take care of the bill. Nguyen said he and about 30 other students spent the fi rst day in a rented conference room where Montoya taught the basics of molding cement. But, Nguyen added, when Montoya tried to demonstrate the hardness and durability of a fake rock sample, it cracked into pieces. After that, Nguyen said, the students were divided into crews and spent the remainder of the eight-day course assigned to work at jobsites “as free labor.” Nguyen said he stuck it out but returned home feeling disgusted. “I was wondering how VA could approve something like that,” he said. “Basically, it was all a lie.” He said that he fi led a complaint with VA afterward but that “nobody got back to me.” VA offi cials have said in public statements that they review com- plaints and forward ones that they consider “valid” to schools to resolve. The department also posts online the number of com- plaints a school has generated in the previous 24 months. But according to veterans’ advocacy groups, VA seldom investigates the validity of complaints and has no simple mechanism to compel schools to correct prob- lems. In July 2017, VA’s inspector general opened an investigation. By then, VA had paid StoneMak- ers about $15 million to train nearly 1,000 veterans, federal documents show. VA and the state of New Hamp- shire had been aware from the outset that StoneMakers charged hefty sums to train veterans “how to make concrete look like rocks,” according to a memo writ- ten by a VA offi cial. But the in- vestigation was triggered when a VA employee reported suspicions to the inspector general’s offi ce that the school was falsifying its accounting records, according to the case fi le. Federal agents soon found evi- dence of that — and more. A whistleblower who worked at StoneMakers Academy told investigators that the school served as “a gravy train” for Mon- toya and that he used students as free labor on his jobs. The whis- tleblower reported that virtually all the students were veterans — in clear violation of VA rules — and that StoneMakers kept phony class rosters, according to investigators’ notes. In an interview with The Post, the whistleblower described StoneMakers as “a boiler room- type operation” that exploited many veterans who were down on their luck, including those suff ering from combat injuries and drug or alcohol problems. (The whistleblower spoke to The Post on the condition of anonym- ity because the person helped law enforcement as a confi den- tial informant.) Federal agents asked the whistleblower to secretly record phone conversations with the vice president of StoneMakers Academy, an attorney named Rhonda Simpson, who was re- sponsible for ensuring that StoneMakers complied with VA rules, investigators’ fi les show. In one of the recorded calls, she urged the whistleblower not to cooperate with agents and to feign ignorance of the VA man- date that no more than 85 per- cent of students could be on the GI Bill. “You have to pretend that you don’t know what that rule is all about,” Simpson said, according to an excerpt from the call tran- script. Simpson and Montoya had been doctoring spreadsheets and forging enrollment contracts that they submitted to VA, con- cealing how StoneMakers Acad- emy had been routinely violating the 85 percent rule and charging veterans far more than civilians, court records show. StoneMakers Academy closed in 2018, when it became clear the school was in legal jeopardy. In 2019, investigators present- ed their case to federal prosecu- tors in New Hampshire. But the lead prosecutor retired and prog- ress on the case slowed, investi- gators’ fi les show. In May 2024, Montoya and Simpson each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to make false state- ments to federal offi cials. Prosecutors recommended that both defendants receive probationary sentences, arguing to the judge that no fraud oc- curred at StoneMakers because the rock-making courses, dubi- ous as they were, took place as advertised. U.S. District Judge Paul Bar- badoro refused to accept the sentencing recommendation, however, calling it “extremely generous.” Barbadoro said it appeared SEE GI BILL ON A12

that Montoya and Simpson “deliberately tried to trick the government so that they could receive millions of dollars in payments that they were not entitled to receive.” He also sug- gested that VA was “stupid” for having weak rules and failing to enforce them. In the end, the judge gave both defendants home detention for one year, followed by three years of probation. They were also each ordered to pay $200,000 in restitution to VA. Neither Montoya nor Simpson responded to interview requests for this article. At her sentencing in June 2025, Simpson apologized. “I acknowledge that things happened on my watch that should not have, and for that I am truly sorry,” she said.

Obvious red flags In Texas — the state with the most veterans — VA relies on a state agency, the Texas Veterans Commission, to approve unac- credited trade schools under the GI Bill and review the qualifica- tions of applicants. Schools must show that they have adequate classroom space and equipment, as well as a written curriculum, qualified in- structors and an academic calen- dar. They also need to prove that they’ve been in operation for at least two years and that they are financially stable. Even by those bare-minimum standards, however, the state commission failed to detect ob- vious red flags with Retail Ready Career Center, the air-condition- ing repair school that yielded $72 million in losses for VA. Based in the city of Garland, near Dallas, Retail Ready was started by Jonathan Dean Davis, a high school dropout with a his- tory of failed business ventures. When Davis applied to the Tex- as Veterans Commission in 2014 for permission to enroll veterans under the GI Bill, the school ex- isted in name only. He was also in financial straits, court records show. He owed about $1 million to creditors and faced a felony charge after bouncing a $25,000 check. Utilities in his apartment had been turned off, and he was brushing his teeth with melted ice. “I really don’t have much left that I can pawn,” he wrote in an electronic journal that was later seized by authorities. “... More days without money are ahead, and begging for miracles.” In a desperate bid to tap into the GI Bill, Davis concealed his legal and financial distress from the Texas Veterans Commission and falsely claimed he had suffi- cient cash to operate the school for three months, according to his journal and trial testimony. He also falsely stated that Retail Ready had been in existence for two years, federal court records show. In July 2014, the commission approved the school’s applica- tion without conducting a crim- inal-background check or an independent review of Davis’s finances, according to trial testi- mony and court filings. The agency also approved Re- tail Ready’s sky-high tuition: be- tween $18,000 and $20,000 per student for a six-week course, or 10 times what many Texas com- munity colleges charged for an entire semester. Officials with the Texas Vet- erans Commission declined The Post’s request for an interview but provided responses to writ- ten questions. It said that tui- tion and fees must be disclosed to students before they enroll. But the commission added that “there is no statutory authority” that grants it “the ability to de- termine or regulate what consti- tutes a ‘reasonable’ tuition or fee rate.” Retail Ready marketed the course to veterans around the country, promising that the GI Bill would also cover their air- fare and living expenses in Texas. Soon, VA was paying the school more than $1 million a month to train scores of veterans. Davis spent $428,000 on a Lamborghini, $282,000 on a Ferrari, $260,000 on a Bentley Continental GT and lesser sums on two Mercedes-Benzes and a Dodge Ram pickup. He also bought a $2.2 million Dallas mansion with a grand piano, a home movie theater and a gym- nasium, court records show. In addition, Davis acknowledged spending “under $200,000” at strip clubs. In 2017, a former Retail Ready employee filed a complaint with the Texas Veterans Commission, alleging financial misconduct by the school, commission doc- uments show. Commission staff showed up for a site visit. They reviewed the school’s books and found nothing wrong, according

to the documents. The complaint, however, also triggered a referral to VA’s in- spector general, which began its own investigation. Agents raided the school and Davis’s house. They confiscated Davis’s electronic journal, in which he said he had lied on the school’s GI Bill application about his fi- nances and legal problems, pub- lic records show.

BRIAN ELLEDGE/DALLAS MORNING NEWS Jonathan Dean Davis stands outside Retail Ready Career Center in Garland, Texas, in 2019. A jury in 2021 convicted Davis on 11 counts of wire fraud and money laundering, finding that he had defrauded VA by lying about the school’s finances.

Davis on 11 counts of wire fraud and money laundering, finding that he had defrauded VA by ly- ing about the school’s finances and falsely stating it had been in operation for two years before it enrolled veterans. U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr sentenced him to nearly 20 years in prison and ordered him to pay $65 million in restitution. In an interview with The Post from a minimum-security feder- al prison outside Dallas, Davis said he was wrongly convicted. Prosecutors, he said, were “trying to show that I’m living a lavish lifestyle and that the students weren’t getting a qual- ity education because I was too busy spending the money on a Lamborghini and a mansion.” “You show me a law that it’s a crime to buy nice cars,” he add- ed. “On the surface, yes, 20 grand for six weeks sounds absolute- ly absurd,” Davis said of the school’s tuition. But he said it paid for a student’s airfare to Dallas, six weeks of lodging and meals, plus a large placement of- fice that arranged job interviews. Retail Ready, he said, was hardly the only school to reap millions from the federal gov- ernment. “Every school is in existence for profit,” he said. Harvard, he noted, “pays zero dollars in property taxes and government taxpayers still shovel billions of dollars to them. Well, what do people think happens with that money? Does anybody not think that any of those school adminis- trators drives a Ferrari?”

In 2020, Davis was indicted on charges including wire fraud and money laundering. During his trial, prosecutors portrayed the school’s tuition rates as out- rageous and emphasized how Davis used the money to live the high life. A parade of veterans testified that they received lousy training and that their GI Bill benefits were wasted. “This case was about three

things: lies, greed and the mili- tary veterans that the defendant used to get rich,” Douglas Brash- er, the lead prosecutor, told the jury. Other veterans, who testified as witnesses for the defense, said they were satisfied with their ex- perience at Retail Ready. Bran- don Moulding, a Marine veter- an from North Carolina, said it launched him on a successful

career as a service technician making $22 an hour. “I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I have with- out going through that school.” Defense attorneys also noted, accurately, that the tuition rates were no secret: They had been approved by VA and the Texas Veterans Commission and were disclosed in each student’s con- tract with the school.

Methodology The Washington Post ob- tained comprehensive records spanning 2018 to 2024 from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ GI Bill Comparison Tool via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and merged them with VA’s 2025 Comparison Tool data pulled from the Internet Archive. Data is current as of May 2025. The Post grouped non-de- gree-granting schools into cat- egories – such as unaccredited trade specialization or flight schools – based on their accred- itation status, facility codes and specific course offerings. VA tracks two separate enrollment statuses, counting all GI Bill par- ticipants and those who served after 9/11. Unless specified, en- rollment figures were based on whichever figure was higher in the data. Tuition rates were based on post-9/11 enrollment because tuition figures were available only in post-9/11 data. Information on unaccredited and vocational programs is often incomplete, so reporters used school addresses found in the FOIA data to query the Google Places API and gather missing business statuses and classifica- tion types.

longer quaking in the pews. “We are getting used to these daily announcements,” said Brando Benifei, an Italian mem- ber of the European Parliament who chairs its delegation for re- lations with the United States. “We don’t take them so seriously anymore.” At home, Trump continues to dominate the national conversa- tion and drive the policy agenda. Still, the president was unable to muscle the Republican-con- trolled Senate into leaving the Epstein fi les under seal or pass- ing his signature Save America Act. This week, he had to make concessions to get his nomina- tion of Todd Blanche as attorney general back on track. Abroad, most consequent- ly, Iran refuses to bend under American bombs and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and Rus- sian President Vladimir Putin persists in his war in Ukraine. Europe met Trump’s recently re- newed demands for Greenland with a collective sigh, and trad- ing partners have shrugged off the latest tariff s. For a world weary of the Unit- ed States’ capacity to disrupt, the bombast is baked in, the threats are frequently bluff s and the president who relishes shock and awe, in the end, often backs down. The stock trader’s refrain of “TACO” — Trump Always Chick- ens Out — has begun to take hold in more world capitals, said Jer- emy Shapiro, director of the U.S. program at the European Coun- cil on Foreign Relations think tank. “I’ve been a little surprised at how much his bluster has worked until now,” Shapiro said of the bravado that rattled the world at the start of Trump’s second term. It was eff ective, he said, because it drew on the “awesome power and deep, long- stored-up diplomatic capital of the United States” — reserves, he said, that Trump has “fi nally started to blow through.” Offi cials “are starting to notice that he’s kind of a bully, and is quite easy to scare,” Shapiro said.

DEMETRIUS FREEMAN/THE WASHINGTON POST President Donald Trump holds a chart as he announces a plan for tariff s on April 2, 2025.

tariff s were hollowed out within days by carve-outs and delays. The steep levies he threatened against European allies over Greenland were withdrawn in Davos, Switzerland, in January for a vague “framework” that Denmark never accepted and has yielded no major change. China met his threat of 100 percent tariff s by refusing to blink, then used its chokehold on rare-earth minerals and a halt on U.S. soybean purchases to force Washington into a climbdown — a lesson in how standing tough often causes Trump to bend that other governments have also learned. Brazil’s president, Luiz In- ácio Lula da Silva, ignored a 50 percent tariff designed to derail the prosecution of former pres- ident Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of charges related to fomenting an armed coup and sentenced to 27 years anyway. Nowhere is the erosion of Trump’s bluster-power starker than in Iran, where the Unit- ed States and Israeli initiated a bombing campaign that killed the country’s supreme leader and other top offi cials but left

the Islamic regime intact and with a stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for global energy supplies and other cargo. Trump issued a cascade of ulti- matums demanding that Tehran reopen the strait, notably threat- ening to annihilate Iranian “civ- ilization” if it refused. The strait stayed shut. Iran did not fold, even under existential threat, and Trump quietly shifted his stated goals on regime change and on Iran’s stockpile of en- riched uranium. “Between threats, then bomb- ing, then backing off , what he’s radiating to the Iranians is that he’s desperate,” said Ronald E. Neumann, a career Foreign Ser- vice offi cer and U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Bahrain and Algeria under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. “As experienced bargainers, that means you don’t have to lower the price.” Neumann also put it less diplomatically: “The way Trump bargains,” he said, “I wouldn’t give him money to go to the carpet bazaar.” Trump’s browbeating also failed to pull European coun-

tries into his Iran campaign. He threatened Spain with a total trade embargo after it refused assistance, leaned on Britain, France and Germany to reim- pose U.N. sanctions and hinted he might not honor America’s NATO obligations. But those al- lies refused to get more deeply involved in the war — and some countries, namely Spain and Ita- ly, have closed their bases or air- space to it. When Trump threatened to cut off trade with Spain, said one E.U. diplomat, offi cials seemed more inclined to dismiss the comments as rhetorical bluster, with many having learned from experience that his outburst would fi zzle if ignored. But this diplomat, who spoke on the con- dition of anonymity to discuss delicate relations, conceded that Trump’s unpredictability made such calculations diffi cult. “It can be tricky,” the diplo- mat said, citing Trump’s mili- tary operations against Iran. “He doesn’t always chicken out.” To be sure, Trump has shown he is willing pull the trigger.

trenchment, not adventurism, he has deployed the U.S. military more aggressively abroad than any recent president — seizing Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro in a January raid by Special Oper- ations forces, bombing Tehran a month later, and ordering doz- ens of lethal strikes on alleged drug boats across the Caribbean and Pacifi c. At home, he sent National Guard troops on patrol in Wash- ington, D.C., and his immigration crackdown has thrown American cities into turmoil, with masked federal agents sweeping work- places and courthouses — raids that sometimes turned deadly and ignited protests. But even the willingness to use force has not bought the deference it once did. Increas- ingly, offi cials and politicians at home and abroad are willing to challenge Trump’s threats — or ignore them. “Europe is noticeably less prone to panic,” said Mujtaba Rahman, managing director for Europe at the Eurasia Group consultancy. “European gov- ernments are increasingly dis- tinguishing between Trump’s rhetoric … and the policies that ultimately emerge.” The pattern reaches into the Gulf, where offi cials have grown inured to Trump’s style of deal- making, analysts said. Last month, Washington and Riyadh announced an agree- ment on Saudi Arabia’s civilian nuclear program only for Trump to post later on Truth Social that the deal was contingent on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Ac- cords. Saudi offi cials found the claim surprising and annoying given that they had already trumpeted the agreement across their own channels, said Andrew Leber, a Middle East scholar at the Carn- egie Endowment for Internation- al Peace, the Washington-based policy institute. “At this point, they have dealt enough with Trump deals to know that such exasperating and inconsistent moves have become the norm,” Leber said. For much of Trump’s fi rst year back, European capitals ran the same strategy of fl attery and

appeasement they believed had contained him before. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen fl ew to Trump’s Scottish golf resort to settle a trade fi ght on his terms. Britain invited him for an unprecedent- ed second state visit. Leaders now are still willing to fl atter Trump, especially in private, but they are less will- ing to off er the concessions he wants, according to a European diplomat who has been involved directly in talks with the admin- istration. “Behind closed doors they are still putting it on thick because they know it works,” said the diplomat, who spoke on the con- dition of anonymity to discuss sensitive interactions. “This is a president who can signifi cantly soften his position in the course of a single meeting. But that doesn’t mean you give in. That is true more than ever.” Greenland was a turning point, the diplomat said, because Trump’s threats evaporated against united European oppo- sition. China, too, showed that pushing back could bend the president, as did Brazil, whereas Europe’s surrender to Trump’s initial trade barrage merely led to further demands from him. “I think people are saying, well, we don’t want to provoke him unnecessarily, but we can’t really make him happy,” said Neumann, the former ambassa- dor. Learning to mute Trump’s threats won’t necessarily make the rest of his term easier to navigate, analysts said. Doing so could even make things less pre- dictable if Republicans lose one or their majorities in Congress in the midterm elections and Trump turns to more unilateral executive actions. “It could be super danger- ous,” Shapiro said. “Trump is not somebody who will go quietly into the night. He will rage about his loss of capacity and he will look for other ways to take risks with American power.”

Arbaeen pilgrimage observed as U.S.-Iran fears mount

Holy city in Iraq hosts

one of the world’s largest yearly religious gatherings

The World

Associated Press

baghdad — Millions of Shiite Muslims observed the annual Arbaeen pilgrimage Tuesday in the Iraqi holy city of Karbala, under the shadow of ongoing regional tensions and fears of another round of escalation in the U.S.-Iran war. Arbaeen is held 40 days after Ashoura, which commemorates the killing of Imam Hussein, grandson of the prophet Mu- hammad, and members of his family, at the Battle of Karbala in 680 A.D. Karbala Gov. Nasseif Jassim al-Khattabi said Tuesday that more than 22 million people entered the city during the pil- grimage, including about 5 mil- lion non-Iraqi visitors as well as Iraqis from different regions of the country. The event is considered one of the world’s largest annual re- ligious gatherings. Among the highest-profile foreign visitors was Iranian For- eign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who arrived in the Iraqi city of Najaf on Monday and continued on to Karbala to take part in the pilgrimage. Araghchi’s presence was a reminder of the delicate bal- ancing act that Iraq — which has close ties to both Washing- ton and Tehran — has carried out since the beginning of the war. Iraq has found itself in the crosshairs of both sides and has sought to avoid getting pulled further into the conflict. As usual, Iranian pilgrims arrived in large numbers, but some observers said the num- ber of pilgrims from other coun- tries had shrunk. Aqeel al-Rubaie, 45, a pilgrim from Baghdad who was on his way to Karbala, said Iranian flags were particularly visible along the Najaf-Karbala road, while there were fewer flags than usual from European, Arab and other Islamic countries. He attributed this to “the war and the events unfolding across the region, which have affected the number of Arab and foreign pilgrims.” Another pilgrim from Bagh- dad, Hassan al-Sarai, 35, said, “I hardly saw any flags other than Iranian ones, which were clear- ly visible along the road as well as inside and around the city of Karbala.” Volunteer processions pro- viding food, water, medical care and other services lined the roads leading to Karbala from across Iraq. The pilgrimage is taking place this year as Iraq faces dif- ficult economic conditions fol- lowing the war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted Iraqi oil exports. More than 90 percent of Iraqi state revenue come from oil exports, making the country’s economy highly vulnerable to any interruption in crude ship- ments. It also comes as Baghdad is wrestling with a difficult task it has set for itself: disarming the country’s network of militias, many of them Iran-backed. One of the most powerful Iran-backed militias, Kataib Hezbollah, said in a statement marking the occasion of Ar- baeen that it rejects calls to dis-

“I hardly saw any

Crackdown on illegal environmental activity

Police from five Amazon countries have arrested hun- dreds of people and seized timber, minerals and thou- sands of livestock in one of the largest coordinated crackdowns on environmental crime ever carried out in the world’s largest rainforest. Authorities from Bolivia, Bra- zil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru said Tuesday that Operation Green Shield 2026, which ran from July 15-31, deployed more than 3,600 officers targeting illegal mining, logging, wildlife trafficking, fuel smuggling and land grabbing — the illegal seizure or occupation of land, often followed by forest clearing

— across the Amazon Basin. The operation resulted in 839 arrests during 1,045 field actions and the seizure of more than 9.9 million cubic feet of illegally harvested timber, along with 195 metric tons of minerals and equipment used in illegal min- ing like gold, carbon, iron and copper, according to officials. Authorities also rescued more than 3,000 live animals and recovered at least 430 dead animals linked to wildlife traf- ficking, including snakes, birds, lizards and fish. Environmental crime has become one of the Amazon’s most profitable illicit industries, fueled by global demand for gold, timber and wildlife. Investigators say the same criminal organizations often combine illegal mining, logging and wildlife trafficking, using

shared trafficking routes and financial networks that span national borders. Officials say that has made cross-border cooperation increasingly important, as criminal groups frequently move people and goods across neigh- boring countries to evade law enforcement. — Associated Press

Mourners in Kyiv honor student killed

Hundreds of mourners dressed mostly in white walked through central Kyiv on Tues- day behind the open casket of a university student killed over the weekend by a Russian strike as she helped people wounded in an earlier attack.

DIGEST

The farewell for 20-year-old Vitalina Yarovenko began inside St. Michael’s golden-domed Cathedral, where clergy read prayers over the casket and relatives and friends approached her body to say goodbye. Her family said they had asked mourners to wear white or traditional Ukrainian embroi- dered shirts instead of black, so that Vitalina “would not feel too sad.” Although Yarovenko was a civilian, her mother asked that she be given the kind of funeral procession used in Ukraine to honor fallen soldiers. Sever- al hundred people followed her casket from the cathedral downhill toward Independence Square. Traffic stopped for several minutes to allow the procession to pass. Drivers stepped out of

their cars and stood silently. — Associated Press

Child malnutrition reaches critical levels

Child malnutrition has reached critical levels in a third of Afghanistan’s provinces and is expected to worsen as funding shortfalls force cuts in food distributions and other support, the U.N. World Food Program said Tuesday. WFP said 142 health centers closed in 2025 because of aid re- ductions and more than 13,000 children lost access to nutrition treatment.

In the capital, Tehran, black- clad mourners rallied along a nearly 20-kilometer (12-mile) route to a Shiite holy shrine in the south of the city from a starting point in the central part of the city. The mourners chanted slo- gans seeking retaliation for the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khame- nei, Iran’s supreme leader, in strikes by the U.S. and Israel. Meanwhile, some demonstra- tors trampled on U.S. and Israe- li flags. State media said similar ral- lies were held in other Iranian cities and towns.

The agency said a record 12 Afghan provinces have reached critical levels of acute child malnutrition, citing a combina- tion of conflict, unemployment, rising food prices, disease out- breaks, poor water and sanita- tion and reduced humanitarian funding. WFP said supply shortages linked to conflict in the Middle East have disrupted deliveries of nutrition products, leaving nearly 1 million malnourished women and children without essential nutrition services for five months. — Associated Press

I was a human biohazard. So I hid at a motel. F

or three days in June, I was a danger to all mammals. I hid out in a dingy motel room, like a 1930s desperado on the lam from the law. Outside my window was an actual dump. I slept across the foot of the bed, far from the wall, in case someone slept on the other side, vul- nerable to my menace. I specifi cally had to hide from pregnant women and children under 10. I was the most hazardous to other people I’ve ever been in my life. If I harmed someone, they wouldn’t know it for years, and they’d never know it was me. Tell someone you’re literally radioactive, and they will assume you’ve tweeted something awful. You have to tell them clearly you are emitting gam- ma rays. It was all part of a strategy my doctors developed to kill some of my parts — the thyroid gland and its tumors — and leave the rest of me fi ne. They had given me plenty of information about this process, but there was a lot I still hadn’t considered about being radioactive. A friend, listening to me talk over dinner, had a question. “Not to be gross,” she said, “but what are you going to do with your fecal waste?” In the subsequent pause, I realized I had not read all the booklets I’d been given. My friend, who’s a veterinarian, was going through a similar thyroid thing with her cat, who had been losing weight and screaming all night, like she was on cocaine. Lyla would also need to

ast month, a Chinese artifi cial intelligence lab, Moonshot AI, released a model that stunned the industry. It tested at near-fron- tier performance while costing much less than leading American systems to use. And the lab promised to release an open-weight version — meaning anyone could download and run the model — in the coming weeks. Days after the launch, a coalition of AI and technology companies published a letter defend- ing open-weight models as essential to American innovation. Both developments reignited a familiar debate over whether AI should be open or closed. But that misses the point. Whether a model is open or closed, the more important distinction is whether it was built through innovation or through theft. “There is nothing innovative about systemat- ically extracting and copying the innovations of American industry,” Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Offi ce of Science and Technolo- gy Policy, wrote in a memo. He wasn’t criticizing open-weight AI. He was describing what the ad- ministration alleges is a pattern of industrial-scale intellectual property theft by Chinese AI compa- nies. The distinction matters because openness isn’t the problem; provenance is. A company that spends billions training a frontier model and later releases its weights (the numerical parameters that encode the model’s knowledge) to the public is making its intellectual property broadly available. A company that secret- ly extracts another fi rm’s proprietary model and repackages it at a lower price, or even gives it away for free, is doing something else entirely. The fault line in the debate is something called distillation. Most AI labs engage in the practice — sending their most powerful models thousands, sometimes millions, of prompts, collecting the answers and using them to train smaller, cheaper models that absorb much of the original’s capabil- ity. Distilling your own model is effi ciency. Distill-

If she tried to throw it away immediately, she’d been warned, a ra- diation detector could go off at the garbage dump, and the authorities might show up with questions. “No,” said the doctor when I suggested the co- caine cat and I isolate together. We’d be as much a danger to one another as to everyone else. And I could use the toilet, as long as I fl ushed twice. On the day of my appointment, I was escorted to a special room in a hospital, where everything — fl oors, doorknobs, walls — was covered in paper.

A man wearing gloves shook a pill of iodine-131, a radioactive isotope, out of a beaten-up green metal case, and I swallowed it. He left the room, and I sat alone for 20 minutes, cooking. Once tests con- fi rmed I was appropriately radiant, I was sent off to avoid humankind. Isolating at home wouldn’t have worked — there was no room at my house to fi t a bed away from my four cats and one dog. So it was motelville, popula- tion me. I chose one for $65 a night. It’s not like I was going to order a massage. Three days later, I broke my isolation to go to

ing someone else’s through fake accounts, masked routers or other underhanded methods is theft. And focusing on open weights is a distraction. Even Anthropic, whose models are at the center of recent allegations, has emphasized that the is- sue isn’t open-weight AI itself. CEO Dario Amodei recently reiterated that Anthropic has never advo- cated banning open-weight models. The concern, he argued, is industrial-scale distillation backed by an authoritarian state. The company has alleged that Chinese labs, including DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and MiniMax, created roughly 24,000 fraudulent accounts and engaged in 16 million exchanges with Anthropic’s Claude to illicitly extract its capabilities. OpenAI has similarly told Congress that DeepSeek unlaw-

a laundromat. I’d been warned my sweat could be dangerous, and my motel sheets shouldn’t be washed with other sheets. I also reserved the room an extra night, after I left, to give the isotopes more time to decay before the housekeepers had to touch them. I still had that running-from-the-cops feeling, though I had a note from my doctor to explain my situation should it become necessary, such as being pulled over by a police offi cer. Apparently, some of- fi cers carry sensors that will alert them to radioac- tivity (good!).

The sunlight and the people, their casualness, felt strange. It was a bustling laundromat, and keeping 6 feet away from everyone, like my doc- tors had advised, was tricky. Five minutes or less near someone was probably fi ne, but I was para- noid. A lady told me I could use a smaller, cheaper machine, and I thanked her by darting away. All of these people acting normal had a secret history too — everyone in laundromats does. My secret was that I was doing my best not to kill everyone there in the future.

fully circumvented restrictions. More recently, Kratsios alleged that Moonshot AI distilled An- thropic’s Fable model to develop its groundbreak- ing Kimi K3 model. Western labs initially trained their models on vast amounts of scraped public data and intellec- tual property — an issue that’s still being litigated. But there is a big diff erence between training on the internet and deliberately extracting a compet- itor’s fi nished model through techniques designed to avoid detection. The pattern with Chinese open-weight models tracks a familiar playbook in other strategic indus- tries: Beijing acquires the technology by whatev- er means possible, undercuts on price and locks in the market.

Take the card, please, be- fore I alter your DNA. “Okay,” she said, and went back to her book. Yay! It was a perfect, boring encapsulation of life among the living. Doing something dumb, trying to make it better, lying to strangers, caring inordinately what others do, trying to hide the crazy. There was nothing like it back in the motel room. Later, I realized my hands might have sweat on the card, making it just a little dangerous. I’ll never know. Another thing about interacting with peo- ple: It haunts you later. You Google if you did the right thing. Google says “exceedingly low danger.” You keep Googling. Everything’s fi ne now. There’s a temporary, pecu- liar side eff ect: I can’t taste salt at all. My co-work- ers were impressed when I summoned them to watch me pour two packets of salt on my tongue. “Did you do that just for show?” my desk neighbor asked. Of course I did. In her book “Illness as Metaphor,” Susan Sontag wrote: “Everyone who is born holds dual citizen- ship, in the kingdom of the well and in the king- dom of the sick.” After my three-day loneliness ep- idemic, and after two unrelated cancer diagnoses in two years, I’m apparently cured. Time to rejoin the living. You could say I’m glowing with joy, but please don’t. Just say I’m happy to be here.

T-Mobile’s trade secrets. Sinovel was convicted of stealing ASMC’s source code. Defenders of China’s AI strategy note that giv- ing away a model for free isn’t “dumping” in the trade-law sense, since there is no price discrimi- nation when something is public domain. That is beside the point. If the model was built, as U.S. companies and the White House allege, by stealing another company’s intellectual property, then it’s cheap for the same reason counterfeit goods are cheap: Someone else already paid the bill. The stakes extend well beyond the balance sheets of a handful of AI companies. Frontier AI models are becoming foundational infrastructure for governments, businesses, educa- tion, health care and national defense. As Chinese models are embedded into applications used by billions of people, they become harder to remove, echoing the dependency Washington says Beijing created with Huawei and 5G. As Chinese leader Xi Jinping recently put it, open-source AI is a “rare and historical opportuni- ty” to shape the technology’s global development and reduce reliance on the United States. Beijing understands that leadership in AI is not just about selling software. It is about shaping the technolog- ical architecture on which future economies and societies will depend. None of this makes open-weight AI the enemy. Independently developed open models deserve the same legitimacy as any hard-won invention their creators choose to share. The goal should not be to regulate openness but to protect innovation. Policymakers should require greater transpar- ency around model lineage for high-risk appli- cations, establish trusted certifi cation standards for critical infrastructure and hold deployers ac- countable when they rely on models of unknown origin in sensitive environments. Open and closed models alike should be free to compete, but on the same legal and ethical terms. The future of AI should be decided by better ideas, not by better theft.

The absurdity of the Refl ecting Pool prosecutions T

HE SHODDY PAINT JOB of the Lincoln Memorial’s Refl ecting Pool was a silly summer story that should have been a rela- tively minor political embarrassment, at most, to President Donald Trump. Instead, the administration turned it into an appalling abuse of prosecutorial power. On Monday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro trekked to the White House to save her job as Trump fumed about her decision last week to dismiss charges against four people accused of damag- ing the pool’s newly installed lining. In court documents, Pirro contradict- ed the president’s claims that the dam- age was the result of vandals. Instead, she blamed it on a “rushed and botched installation” by a government contractor and accused the Interior Department of misleading her offi ce. Trump complained to reporters that Pirro “choked” and “folded like an um- brella.” But given the details of the Re- fl ecting Pool cases, which Pirro laid out in a 20-page fi ling seeking to drop the charges on Friday, it’s a wonder why any experienced prosecutor would have pur- sued them in the fi rst place. The government fi led a felony charge against David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist, for allegedly tugging “violent-

Markwayne Mullin is right:

Cancelling TPS isn’t the end of the road H

OMELAND SECURITY Secre- tary Markwayne Mullin has taken unfair fl ak from nativist elements of the MAGA base. Over the weekend, he expressed open- ness to the need for immigrants to al- leviate labor shortages and said people who are in the United States on tempo- rary protected status could pursue dif- ferent forms of legal residency. Mullin is correct on both counts. TPS was intended as a temporary measure for people who cannot return to their home country due to unsafe conditions, such as armed confl ict or en- vironmental catastrophe. But the designation, which comes with a work permit, stretched from its original intent to cover more than 1 million individuals from 17 countries. The designations have been routinely extended even as conditions change on the ground. Rightly or wrongly, President Don- ald Trump campaigned on revoking TPS designations and won an electoral mandate to do so in 2024. In June, the Supreme Court upheld his authority to rescind the temporary status for Syrians and Haitians. The result is that around 350,000 Haitians have lost their authorization to work in the United States. About 200,000 Haitians TPS holders were working before the ruling, including

technology out of European hands T

HE EUROPEAN UNION began enforcement this week of what it bills as the world’s fi rst com- prehensive artifi cial intelligence law. It’s already outdated. The bureaucrats in Brussels are strug- gling to keep up with the breakneck pace of technological progress. In 2024, when this passed, the law decreed that an AI model is presumed to pose a “systemic risk” if it’s trained using more than 10 to the power of 25 mathematical opera- tions — a snapshot of where the frontier stood during negotiations. Models are now far more capable. In other places, the 144-page law is so vague, nebulous and arbitrary that it can be easily weaponized against any technology company. The statute bans social scoring and manipulation of vulnerable populations; imposes strict safety requirements on systems that help decide who gets hired, approved for a loan or fl agged by police; and requires that people be told when- ever they’re talking to a bot or looking at a fabricated video. Like most E.U. laws, this one sets

Pirro’s fi ling claims that only after her offi ce secured indictments did it become clear that the Interior Department’s nar- rative wasn’t holding up. Government documents show that problems with the liner began during its installation and that it began peeling days before anyone was arrested. After the pool was drained last month, the damage was clearly more extensive than anything people could have accomplished from the pool’s edge.

It’s disconcerting that Interior De- partment offi cials were apparently willing to perpetuate false narratives to create scapegoats. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum continues to insist the damage was the work of vandals. Just as concerning, however, was the failure of prosecutors to do basic due diligence before taking the case to a grand jury. Federal prosecution is no trifl ing mat- ter. In addition to the distress of being arrested and detained, even charges that get dismissed can damage people’s repu- tations and livelihoods. A lawyer for one of the defendants said his client lost his job as a government contractor because of the ordeal. A member of Hearn’s legal team has threatened to sue the govern- ment for the “miscarriage of justice.” Alas, this is not the only instance of the law being weaponized against per- ceived enemies of the president by the U.S. attorney’s offi ce in D.C. Who can forget the failed attempt last summer to prosecute a man for throwing a sand- wich at a federal agent? Most egregiously, Pirro’s prosecu- tors attempted in February to indict six Democratic lawmakers for a video tell- ing members of the military that they are obligated to refuse unlawful orders. A grand jury rejected the charges. The rule of law prevailed, as it has again.

The sec- retary is right to acknowledge that the U.S. needs these workers. It’s better for everyone to have foreigners working le- gally than living in the shadows.

Embarrassingly for Europe, the conti- nent has maybe one company that would qualify as a frontier AI lab: France’s Mistral. And its best models have fallen behind what the U.S. and China have to off er. Tech fi rms are already skittish about entering the otherwise lucrative market due to overzealous regulators. In 2024, Meta declined to ship its most capa- ble models to Europe at all, citing the “unpredictable” legal environment. The Digital Markets Act has incentivized Ap- ple to keep cutting-edge AI features off
iPhones sold in Europe. Google, which has rolled out AI features to its phones around the world, has been given rea- sons to reconsider. E.U. bureaucrats like to boast about the “Brussels Eff ect.” They expect com- panies to capitulate to their regulatory regime. In reality, these politicians are denying their own people access to the best tools and the opportunities that come from using them.

The lessons from Fauci’s pandemic leadership Regarding Megan McArdle’s Aug. 3 column “America doesn’t need an inves- tigation over Fauci’s diary”: I have practiced as an infectious dis- ease physician for almost 35 years, and I agree with McArdle that there is no reasonable point to be made publishing Anthony S. Fauci’s personal diary notes (even though they were created on a government computer). Of course, hind- sight is 20/20, and it would have been great to have developed a perfect test and treatment and isolation protocols in January 2020, but we live in the real world. Developing an accurate diagnostic test from scratch is not rocket science; it’s arguably harder. A very accurate at- home test was developed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration in November 2020, just about 10 months after the SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence was made public. In comparison, it took three years and nine months to approve the fi rst commercial HIV blood test af- ter AIDS was fi rst offi cially described in June 1981. And masks were not routinely recom- mended until April 2020 because respi- ratory viruses like infl uenza were not known to be spread through small drop- lets like tuberculosis. The response to the virus changed in real time because scientists’ understanding of the virus evolved over time. That the tests and isolation protocols were not perfect is a testament to the technological hurdles and challenge of confronting an unprecedented public health emergency. But they saved many lives. Public servants like Fauci and the scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Na- tional Institutes of Health deserve our high praise, not the baseless attacks we have witnessed too many times in recent days. Jeff rey Sartin, Omaha

Megan McArdle’s Aug. 3 column ex- pressed sympathy for Anthony S. Fauci “for refusing to risk a perjury charge” and for conservatives “for still being mad” at Fauci’s policies. She made the point that the blame game serves no one. Sure, but McArdle overlooked Fauci’s ac- tions in suppressing opposing opinions and stifl ing debate, and the crucial role of a robust, independent press. As the Editorial Board wrote in its Aug. 1 editorial, “Democracy doesn’t require truth police”: Censorship “in- sulted the intelligence of the American people, who can make up their own minds without being told what to think.” It concluded: “Stifl ing unpopular ideas usually backfi res.” The covid-19 backfi re damaged the press’s credibility as much as Fauci’s.

The facts of covid

Covid-19 is one of many coronavirus- es. Coronaviruses infect diff erent spe- cies and are capable of mutating and infecting a new host, like humans. In recent history there are two examples: SARS and MERS. The origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome was traced to bats in China. Middle East respiratory syndrome originated from camels. Once a respiratory virus switches to humans, it may spread very fast because humans are not yet immune. Respiratory viruses

What the gas stove study actually concluded The July 30 news article “EPA halt- ed study on gas stoves, but data is still striking” detailed recently published re- search on natural gas stoves. But it’s im- portant to be clear about what the study did and did not conclude. The study, which was conducted by researchers at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and a local hos- pital network, did not establish a causal health benefi t from replacing gas stoves or demonstrate chronic hazards associ- ated with using natural gas. The researchers enrolled 85 people with poorly controlled asthma. Partici- pants received a new electric stove and electrical upgrades, and some were of- fered a new ventilation hood, with an average cost of about $10,000 per house- hold funded by the study at no cost to the participant. The researchers then compared self-reported outcomes before and after intervention. Because there was no control group, the study could not determine whether asthma symp- toms improved because of stove replace- ment, would have improved anyway or changed for other reasons. The study did not track actual stove use, cooking practices, ventilation be- havior, changes in smoking or medica- tion, physician visits or other clinical interventions. Its limited seasonal com- parison could not rule out pollen and viral illnesses, or other environmental changes. The authors themselves ac- knowledge that a controlled clinical trial is needed to confi rm their fi ndings. It’s also important to note that a World Health Organization-funded sys- tematic review found no statistically sig- nifi cant increase in asthma risk among children or adults using gas compared with electricity. Consumers deserve a clear account- ing of what research can — and cannot — demonstrate, especially when decid- ing how to heat their homes and cook their food.

KATE ANDREWS

This is your moment, Kamala Harris. America needs you. W

hat was your fi rst reaction when you heard that Kamala Harris is consider- ing another run for the White House? Be honest. The sophisticated answer would be that you ex- perienced some kind of recoil — a subconscious impulse that manifested in a shudder, and maybe you blurted, “Absolutely not.” Curiously enough, many Republicans and Dem- ocrats had more or less the same reaction. The for- mer mix mockery with their distaste. There they go again. The latter are overcome with a deep sad- ness and a sense of lost opportunity. Here we go again. That’s what you’re supposed to say, anyway. I’m not buying it. When I see Harris’s name leading a new 2028 poll, or get another hint that she may run again, I am overcome with giddiness. It’s an undeniable thrill. Her eff ervescent, hollow politics have been sorely missing from the public square, and we are worse for it. Her political resurrection cannot come soon enough. Washington is not naturally the country’s hap- piest or funniest place in the best of times, and the past 18 months have been an exercise in extin- guishing any remaining joy in the nation’s capital. The sense of humor that candidate Donald Trump brought to the campaign trail in 2024 has evaporated. The Trump who manned a drive- through window at McDonald’s — that unmistak- able international symbol of America’s excesses and freedoms — has been replaced by a miser- ly Trump who talks about rationing pencils for schools and dolls under the Christmas tree.

What ruined the Refl ecting Pool? Jeanine Pirro had a choice. Y

ou rarely see the Justice Department throw another federal department under the bus the way U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro threw Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in court last week. Before becoming U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Pirro was best known as a Fox News Channel host for 14 years. Her most recent expe- rience as a prosecutor was as Westchester County district attorney, her term expiring at the end of 2005. A child born on her last day in that offi ce will be able to legally drink when this year comes to a close. In a year and two months as U.S. attorney, Pirro has had some rough challenges and setbacks, such as “an unusually low win rate in trials in Washing- ton’s federal district court this year,” according to CNN, and grand juries declining to indict six Dem- ocratic lawmakers who advised members of the military to reject “illegal orders,” as well as the, er, infamous “sandwich thrower.” As both a Fox News host and as U.S. attorney, she has been known for her eff usive praise of Donald Trump. But to hear the president tell it Saturday, Pirro turned on him and abandoned her duties by drop- ping a felony charge of vandalism against David Hearn, an Olympic canoeist who was accused of pulling up a piece of the newly installed lining in the Lincoln Memorial Refl ecting Pool. “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Re- fl ecting Pool,” Trump thundered on Truth Social. “I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area. There may have been some contractor diffi culty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!” Now, I know this is going to shock you, but Trump’s statement is not entirely accurate (the numbers 8647 were in fact etched into the near- by grass). In the fi ling to drop the charges against Hearn, federal prosecutors stated there was no van- dalism to the pool and accused employees of the

have morphed into a draconian immigration en- forcement strategy that has resulted in the shoot- ing deaths of six people, including two U.S. citi- zens. Promising pledges to pursue peace through strength have disappeared, as have the country’s munitions and missile interceptors, spent on a new war in the Middle East eerily reminiscent of the forever wars the president once railed against. There’s no joy to be found in any of that. A lit- tle light relief has been in short supply. Not even America’s 250th anniversary celebrations provided respite: What could have been an inspiring, unify- ing moment for the country turned into a politi- cized aff air, marked on the National Mall by mu- sicians refusing to perform at the Great American State Fair and a soggy late-night Trump political rally masquerading as a Fourth of July celebration. Some uplifting cheeriness is needed immedi- ately. “We each have light inside of us,” the former vice president told Don Lemon on YouTube in June. “And when we feel that and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light, and instead let that light kind of carry us, in particular through moments of darkness, that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other.” There it is. The word salad. The mixed meta- phors. Inject it into my veins. I defy even proud cynics and persistent pessimists to listen to this attempt at inspirational messaging without crack- ing a little smile. This is Harris’s gift to America’s political dis- course. She is the antidote, the welcome comic re- lief amid today’s heaviness. Trump also serves up plenty of word salads, but his ramblings trend toward the nasty and purely

Interior Department of misleading them about the cause of the damage. “It was not until after the return of the indict- ment, that the DOI provided additional documents to the USAO-DC indicating that damage to the Lin- coln Memorial Refl ecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of fl awed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, and the rush to com- plete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026,” the fi ling stated. On July 17, Pirro and other senior prosecutors visited the refl ecting pool with a defense expert and “immediately noted extensive damage throughout the now-drained pool.” Only after that inspection did Pirro’s offi ce request “all documents from DOI concerning ... how the pool was lined and all re- cords regarding the installation of the lining.” The fi ling is 20 pages of Pirro and assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Spence telling D.C.

partisan. Harris’s empty platitudes can be enjoyed by all, so vacuous that they can be savored with no danger of compromising one’s political leanings. If you support Medicare-for-all or a private insur- ance model, Harris does too. If you want to frack, baby, frack or push through the Green New Deal, Harris does too. No need to compromise your be- liefs; Harris does it for you. It’s an act of public service, trying to bring together a bitterly polar- ized country. Harris’s decision last year not to run for Califor- nia governor was alarming — the public would be deprived of her takes on today’s pressing issues. For example, what does the former vice president think about the future of artifi cial intelligence? If her iconic remarks in 2022 about technolo- gy and rural broadband in Louisiana are anything to go by — “So when you think about it, there is great signifi cance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs” — the nation is long overdue for her take on federal AI preemp- tion and government approval for chatbot models. Harris’s virtues might seem misaligned with the virtues of leadership, but the latter have been politically obsolete for years. With the former vice president hovering near 30 percent in Democratic primary polls, well ahead of many potential rivals, she is climbing back to political prominence. With luck, that will soon translate into airtime: the re- turn of dripping interviews and the revival of the Los Angeles Times’s “Covering Kamala Harris” beat, launched in 2021 to track “her historic rise.” Losing every swing state in 2024 might turn out to have simply been a stepping stone to greatness.

We also provided the U.S. Attorney’s of- fi ce expert and eyewitness testimony to the dam- age done by vandals and provided every piece of evidence they asked for in the requested timeline detailing each area of damage at the pool.” If the evidence is so clear, one would think that Pirro and her prosecutors would be eager to nail any vandal to the wall. Pirro is a deeply fl awed choice for U.S. attorney for the District, but in this case, she did the right thing. There was no evidence to convict Hearn, and the evidence there was pointed to the peeling lining being caused by other factors. Dropping the charge was the correct, if belated, choice; experts pointed to a faulty installation nearly three weeks ago. Critics of Trump sometimes contend that the president has a “reality distortion fi eld” — that he asserts something that is untrue and somehow per- suades everyone around him to follow along, be- lieving that the emperor indeed is wearing amazing clothes. But that distortion has its limits. Pirro and her team had no appetite for going into court and waving away all those Interior Department docu- ments, insisting it was vandalism just because the president said so. If you’re a Trump appointee getting denounced by the president on Truth Social, you probably did the right thing.

Trump’s tit-for-tat

with Iran ignores the larger reality

BY JOHN BOLTON

T

he Trump administration’s latest U-turn on Iran came not 36 hours after reports that major new strikes were imminent. Instead, the president stepped back, her- alding “the perimeters of a deal” between Iran and the United States. Iranian sources promptly disputed that. Saturday’s swerve showed that White House “strategy” on Iran had all but evaporated. Just last week, responding to Iranian strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan, Trump said, “We’re going to be hitting them very hard because it’s our turn to hit them.” This is not strategy; it barely qualifi es as tactics. While the U.S. fl ounders, some observers are scaremongering about a “wider war.” In the Mid- dle East, Bahrain and Kuwait reportedly hit tar- gets in Iran, joining Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the U.S.-led coalition. For the fi rst time, the Saudis and the U.S. together at- tacked Iraqi Shiite militias. On July 20, Yemen’s Houthis declared a blockade against Saudi com- merce in the Red Sea, leading Riyadh to announce an international coalition to keep it open. With the Red Sea’s southern exit threatened, a July 29 drone attack on Damietta, an Egyptian port, en- dangered the Suez Canal’s northern terminus. Just days before, in the Caspian Sea, Ukraine attacked an Iranian ship, believing it carried mil- itary equipment. Did this mean the Ukraine and Middle East wars were merging, producing pos- sibly “cataclysmic … open warfare spanning Eur- asia and the Middle East”? No. But between tit-for-tat retaliation on one hand and cataclysm on the other, does Washing- ton have alternatives? Yes, but only if it seriously engages in strategic analysis, hardly the Trump team’s métier. Nonetheless, fundamental inter- national realities, particularly the emerging Bei- jing-Moscow axis — the Xi-Putin “partnership without limits” — are critical. Iran, Belarus and North Korea are axis outriders. In 1998, former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski described a future China-Russia-Iran alliance as “potentially the most dangerous scenario.” Unsurprisingly, therefore, the Ukraine and Iran confl icts were always intertwined, with complex linkages existing long before the past few weeks. Among many connections, Tehran has for years provided Moscow drones and other military capa- bilities. The Kremlin has reciprocated, including by supplying critical military intelligence against U.S. forces, as has China. North Korea provides Russia with troops and weapons. Moreover, tensions in Asia, while short of open warfare, must also weigh heavily in American de- cisions regarding the two confl icts. Russia, remem- ber, is an East Asia power. China poses several substantial threats: in the East China Sea against Taiwan and Japan (including the Senkaku/Diaoyu

were always intertwined, with complex linkages existing long before the past few weeks.

islands and others); in the South China Sea, which it has largely declared to be Chinese territorial waters; and in simmering animosities along land borders with India and Vietnam. With all this in mind, the administration’s main strategic focus should be prioritizing U.S. national security interests and capabilities. That does not mean waging all-out war on all fronts. The White House must prioritize in ways the U.S. has been unwilling to do since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Playing down the interconnections, a favorite Trump trope, doesn’t disappear them or lessen their materiality to U.S. strategy. America is more likely to succeed if it acknowledges that the “wider war” has long been underway and will be for the foreseeable future. It should also emphati- cally acknowledge that decades of underspending on defense since the Cold War’s end is what could be truly “cataclysmic.” Abstract prioritizing is just an academic exer- cise, so take the Trump team as it is. It should focus on destroying (or at least paralyzing) Teh- ran’s regime; holding Russia in check in Ukraine; and sharply increasing deterrence against Chi- na. Iran’s government is fractured, as Trump re- cently admitted, distinguishing those who struck U.S. bases in Jordan from the regime’s impotent civilian negotiators: “There’s very little they can do about it. It was a diff erent group than we’re dealing with.” If Trump fails to open the Strait of Hormuz, he will signifi cantly compound his No- vember election problems. He would be best ad- vised to continue what he started in February. In Ukraine, Washington should accelerate licensing Patriot missile-defense technology; squeeze Russia harder economically; and forgo any reduction in America’s NATO presence. Keep- ing all Russian oil off international markets should be the objective, which reinforces the urgency of increasing Gulf Arab oil exports to prewar levels, or close to them. Ukraine today is Europe’s great- est military power, facing little prospect Russia can achieve what more than four years of combat have failed to. Unfortunately, Trump is unlikely to provide what Ukraine needs to defeat Russia, so at least stabilize that front. For now. The U.S. is racing against time on China’s In- do-Pacifi c periphery, particularly concerning Taiwan. The pending $14 billion in arms sales to Taipei is not a “bargaining chip,” and should be completed forthwith. Trump should enhance the Asian Quad (with India, Japan and Australia), and strongly support Japan’s eff orts to enhance its conventional military forces, as Tokyo’s de- fense-spending increases foreshadow. Flattening Tehran’s regime would be the clearest signal to Beijing that it should not risk military adventur- ism.

Before consolidating credit card debt, ask yourself: What if it doesn’t work out?

When you’re struggling to pay off
high-interest credit card debt, taking out a con- solidation loan can feel like a smart fi nancial move. A personal loan can carry an inter- est rate of about 7 percent if you have a good cred- it history, compared with credit cards charging 20 percent to 30 percent. Personal loans lock borrowers into fi xed monthly installments over three to fi ve years, making monthly payments more aff ord- able. If you stick to the scheduled payments, you come out ahead. But what happens when ev- erything doesn’t go as planned? In my experience, when peo- ple get a consolidation loan, they get a false sense of relief. Using an installment loan to clear your cards without addressing the underlying problem often turns into a fi nancial game of whack- a-mole. You swing the mallet and knock down your credit card balances. But if your paycheck still isn’t enough to cover your expenses, your money problems persist. So you start reaching for those cleared-off credit cards again just to survive. Before you realize it, you’re stuck paying off
the new loan along with fresh card balances. You haven’t won the game; you’re now swinging at twice as many targets. According to a new report from the nonprofi t credit coun- seling agency Money Manage- ment International (MMI), a staggering 45 percent of new clients seeking help with their debt have personal loans. Among these clients, the average loan balance is nearly $19,000, up 11 percent from 2025. “Sometimes this becomes a bit of a shell game,” said Ted Ross- man, principal consumer fi nance analyst for MMI. “The problem is when you pay off debt with more debt, and then you run up the cards again, you might actually be even worse off than before, unfortunately, and that’s a trend that we’re seeing.” More than half of the agen- cy’s clients are millennials (ages 30 to 45), with an average debt of $43,533.

Soaring corporate profi ts lift S&P 500 to record high

Ellison defends his deal for Warner Bros.

Caterpillar climbed 5.6 per- cent after the heavy-equipment maker likewise reported stron- ger profi t and revenue than an- alysts expected. It was the fi rst time Caterpillar made more than $20 billion in sales and revenue in a quarter, and CEO Joe Creed said it’s seeing strong order rates and a growing back- log across its main businesses.

Before you apply for a person- al loan, ask yourself one critical question: Have I permanently fi xed the cash-fl ow gap that cre- ated this debt? For millions of households, debt isn’t driven by reckless spending but by infl ation. High- er prices for food, housing and utilities continue to outpace peo- ple’s paychecks, forcing them to rely on credit to make ends meet even after consolidating their debt. “People are in debt often for very valid reasons,” Rossman pointed out. “It’s medical bills, it’s car repairs, it’s groceries.

$79.36 per barrel as hope once again took over from fear in the oil market.

It’s jerked up and down many times as uncertainty built, re- ceded and then built again, not only week to week but also hour to hour. Analysts warn more swings could be ahead, but the latest drop in oil prices never- theless helped ease Wall Street’s worries about infl ation.

So far this year, that defi cit has decreased about 7.5 percent compared with the fi rst six months of 2024, under President Joe Biden’s administration. Trump declared a national emergency last year over the chronic trade defi cit, using that status to impose widespread tar- iff s on goods from pretty much every country in the world. But those tariff s proved controversial with American business, consumers and the courts. The Supreme Court invalidat- ed most of the duties earlier this year. Trump imposed new tariff s late last month using a diff erent law.

rates. The average personal loan rate as of May 2026 was close to 12 percent, according to the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The average client working with MMI in 2025 had about $24,000 in debt. The agency says it was able to help its clients re- duce their interest rate, on aver- age, from 27.91 percent to 7.66 percent.

Trump accounts were closed by Capital One

Bank accounts held by Trump were closed by Capital One in 2021 after it fl agged fi nancial activity that had characteristics of money laundering, the bank disclosed in a court fi ling over the weekend.

Ini- tially, you might see a drop in your score due to closing ac- counts, but it will recover. Successfully completing the debt management plan can help improve your credit history over time. A study conducted by re- searchers from Ohio State Uni- versity on behalf of the NFCC found an average 50-point in- crease in credit scores after about 18 months of counseling, according to Bruce McClary, a spokesman for NFCC. That boost can push you into a scoring tier with better rates when you need to borrow again. Aff ordable relief. Stay away from for-profi t debt settlement companies. Their promise of a quick fi x or of being able to “pay pennies on the dollar” is a cost- ly trap. These companies often charge thousands of dollars in fees and instruct you to stop pay- ing your bills to pressure credi- tors into negotiating a lower pay- off . But this strategy can severely damage your credit score. Many borrowers end up deeper in debt than when they started. With a debt management plan, most people can expect an average activation or setup fee of $35 to $55 and an average monthly maintenance fee of $25 to $40, McClary said, noting that fees can be waived in cases of ex- treme hardship. Accountability and coach- ing. Maybe you were a spend- thrift, or perhaps you struggle with budgeting. Counselors take a holistic look at your fi nances. If you want, a counselor can help you manage your expenses and track your spending throughout the payback process. “That level of ongoing support is not provided through a debt consolidation loan,” McClary said. Think of a counselor as the angel on your shoulder, helping you adjust your spending and steering you in the right direc- tion. Stop playing whack-a-mole with your money. Working with a nonprofi t credit counselor gives you the support and structure to fi nally end the cycle of trying to borrow your way out of debt.

Trump has sued Cap- ital One, as well as JPMorgan Chase, for allegedly debanking him after he left offi ce in 2021. Debanking occurs when banks shut down customer accounts because they believe they pose fi nancial, legal or reputational risks to the banks. Both banks have denied they severed their relationships with the president, his sons, and other related businesses for political reasons.

New Spider-Man movie

nets a historic opening

BY LINDSEY BAHR

Associated Press

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” made box office history in its first weekend in theaters. The Sony- released superhero movie be- came the second-biggest North American opening ever with an astonishing $355 million in ticket sales, according to studio esti- mates Sunday. It was just a few million shy of “Avengers: End- game,” which debuted to $357 million in 2019.

The film also made $572 mil- lion from over 73,500 screens internationally, with China con- tributing $121 million alone, add- ing up to a $927 million world- wide debut that is second only to “Endgame” ($1.2 billion).

The singer’s recent appearance has prompted two types of response: Leave her alone and What is going on here?

or the past few months, fans of a very funny content creator named Elyse Myers — you might have seen her viral post about a Taco Bell first date — noticed that she appeared to be getting thinner and thinner, pounds dropping from her already petite frame. Over the weekend, as these followers were starting to express concerns, Myers put out a video. She explained that for several years, she’d been dealing with severe reproductive issues that caused regular hemor- rhaging and pain. She’d finally had a surgical procedure to address the problem, and her body was now rebalancing itself after years of medical trauma.

These details were humiliating to talk about in public, Myers confessed. She is a comedian; hemorrhag-

But the triumph of “Brand New Day” also comes on the heels of another major movie featuring Holland and Zendaya: Christo- pher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” which slid to second place in its third weekend in theaters with $51 million. Their combined might helped propel the biggest weekend of all time for North American movie theaters, with an estimated $430 million in total ticket sales, according to Rentrak.

The singer-actress, 33, has been noticeably slender for a long time; her appearance during press tours for the two “Wicked” movies prompted concerns about her health. But in a music video released Friday, she looks emaciat- ed.

“Petal” begins with a content warning — the video features Grande as a starlet taking bloody revenge on casting directors — but online commenters wondered if

the warning should apply to Grande’s body itself. Here, I’m aware of the fine line between disgust and inspira- tion for people with eating disorders, so please proceed with caution:

Grande’s cheeks appear to be sunken. Her clavicles and upper rib cage protrude. Her arms seem to be entirely lacking fat or muscle and instead to be sinew on bone. Her legs, what we can see of them, are spindly. Online, a dietitian I follow posted a hesitant video explaining that while she generally refrains from publicly commenting on other people’s bodies, she was going to use Grande’s video to educate viewers on the signs she looks for when diagnosing malnutrition at an

Reimagined sculpture

garden to reopen this fall

BY MAURA JUDKIS

After a long period of being fenced off and closed to the public, a reflecting pool will soon be re- opening after a major renovation. No, not that one.

This reflecting pool is in the center of the Hirshhorn Museum’s sculpture garden, which will re- open Oct. 31 after an overhaul that improves access, creates new ar- eas for performance and contem- plation, and increases the garden’s capacity to exhibit art. It is part of a multi-phased Hirshhorn renova- tion that already has replaced the building’s concrete exterior and will include interior renovations in its next phase, with a start date yet to be determined. The campus revitalization has been spear- headed by director Melissa Chiu, who will leave the Hirshhorn at the end of this month to become director of the Guggenheim Muse-

um in New York.

The sculpture garden renova- tion, designed by artist and archi- tect Hiroshi Sugimoto, will nearly double the number of works on display to 60 and introduce a changing exhibition space for monumental sculpture. It will widen the entryway on the Na- tional Mall side of the garden to draw in passersby. It also reopens an underground passageway that connects the garden to the muse- um’s plaza, so visitors no longer have to cross Jefferson Drive.

That passageway, which con- nects via a staircase and tunnel, was part of Hirshhorn architect Gordon Bunshaft’s original plans for the 1974 museum. But the 1.3- acre sunken sculpture garden had issues with water permeation, and its Mall-side entrance, which had been narrowed to 20 feet in a prior renovation, had limited visibility

A delicate discussion about Ariana Grande’s appearance

anorexia/bulimia treatment pro- gram. The dietitian then dispas- sionately pointed out that Grande’s body, at least the parts that were visible, fit nearly every criterion.

We have absolutely no idea what’s going on with Ariana Grande, and, like that friendly neighborhood dietitian suggest- ed, it’s generally best to assume that people’s bodies are their own business. As exemplified by the humiliated Elyse Myers, some- times we’re getting it wrong even when we’re sure we’re right.

But while Grande’s body is her own business, how it affects us and how we react to it is ours. Grande is not an Internet-famous comedian. She is a superstar with worldwide name recognition, a highly paid fashion plate and a role model to a young audience. The way you see her body may impact the way you think about your own body, and so there’s a push and pull between leave Ari- ana alone and what in God’s name is going on here?

If she is ill, then should we communicate that this is not a healthy body, that this is a body born of deprivation disguised as glamour? If she is healthy, then should we support her right to look as she pleases, even while explaining to our children that most women’s bodies will not naturally look like this unless something is very wrong? Does she owe us an explanation either way?

Interestingly, the music video in question is a meta-commen- tary on this whole discussion. In “Petal,” Grande’s character begins as a hopeful ingenue, showing up to auditions with roomfuls of other hopeful ingenues, only to be told in the casting rooms that she’s not good enough. Every time she’s critiqued, she bounces back a little less easily, and her smile takes on a more permanent hurt.

back.

At the same time, the lyrics of “Petal” acknowledge the strange- ness of her position as a wealthy, famous celebrity. “I’m not a vic- tim. … I’m practically drowning in my blessings,” she sings at one point. Another lyric offers the commentary, “As long as she keeps getting it right, heartbreak won’t bite here in paradise,” which, whether intended or not, might also make you think: eat- ing disorder.

Anorexia, after all, is a disease fueled by a desire for perfection.

After Grande’s character in the video takes a chainsaw to the judgmental casting directors, she emerges, blood-spattered, to the waiting room where other audi- tioners — themselves beaten down from rejection — erupt in grateful cheers.

The message is supposed to be feminist. Here is Grande, declar- ing that commentary is off-limits and it’s the haters who have a problem. One casting director had asked to see “the old you,” and she wants to make it clear that the old her is never coming

Many symphony patrons aren’t aware of clapping etiquette. What’s the solution?

Miss Manners

Dear Miss Manners: I went to the symphony, which I’ve done for many years now. I know that proper symphony etiquette is to refrain from clapping between movements. However, it seems to me that many symphony attendees are not aware of this rule. This has given rise to a rather awkward situation: About half the audience knows the rule and does not clap, and the other half does clap — so inevitably there is rather weak and half- hearted applause between movements.

Judith Martin, Jacobina Martin and Nicholas Ivor Martin

Ariana Grande, shown at the Golden Globe Awards in January, has long been noticeably slender, but the music video for “Petal” triggered concerns from online commenters.

The message would feel femi- nist if the song had been per- formed by, I don’t know, Chappell Roan or Billie Eilish or some other singer whose brand is re- jecting traditional beauty stan- dards. But when Grande, a wom- an who has defined beauty stan- dards, offers this message from an incredibly frail-seeming body, the message does not seem to be “You’re all perfect as you are.” The message seems to be: “Leave me alone so I can wreck myself with- out judgment.”

I sincerely hope that Grande never reads this, or any commen- tary like it. Because she is in an impossible situation. She owes us, a bunch of strangers she’ll never meet, absolutely nothing. She owes us, the fans who gave her a career, at least something.

And what if the career we gave her was also the pressure cooker

Should symphonies try to educate their patrons on the rule with an announcement at the beginning of the concert? Or should we decide this rule has outlived its usefulness and applaud between movements the way we applaud each scene at the opera?

The announcement could go after the one about what to do if the theater is overrun by period instrumentalists.

Forgive Miss Manners; she has a headache from trying to scan a QR code for the playbill in the absence of a printed program. This is also why she was unable to verify if the symphony has already acted on your advice

that caused pounds to drop off of her petite frame, whether be- cause of illness, stress or societal pressure? And what if hearing discussions of her physique in the public sphere is further deleteri- ous to her health? And what if those discussions save someone else’s life?

She exists in a stratosphere of fame that most of us cannot even imagine, and that comes with pressures most of us would never wish for, and she does that in a body that, for years, has been publicly consumed.

After “Petal” began causing public consternation, a London theater company announced that Grande had pulled out of her planned run in a 2027 stage production of “Sunday in the Park With George.” Grande’s rep- resentatives told People maga- zine that she would be “taking a step back from visibility” after

about a printed etiquette lesson — many have.

As to the rule against clapping between movements, she chooses to believe that it is still viable, but that it is easy to forgive an audience member so caught up in the emotion of the performance as to momentarily forget it.

I get all the vaccines and wear masks on planes, but it is hard to wear a mask during a haircut.

she completes her current tour. That she needed a break from “endless, ongoing public scruti- ny.”

The woman must be exhaust- ed. For any number of reasons, none of which we are privy to, she must be exhausted. Her body does not look like it could afford to lose even another pound. And yet somehow I’m sure that if she gained back five or 10, comment- ers would find a way to call her fat.

As I’m writing this, I’m think- ing of former models who have come out to share that when they were called the most beautiful, they were at their most sick. Ballerinas who fuel their bodies for peak performance but are then baselessly accused of barf- ing it all up in the bathroom. Ballerinas who actually do that. People who lose weight on GLP-1s and feel fantastic. People who

Should I even mention this suspicion the next time I’m at the salon? If so, what to say without sounding accusatory? It seems folks have forgotten the lessons from the pandemic.

That there is no national consensus on what was learned from the pandemic may be one of the few things the country can agree on.

But the etiquette around employees exposing customers to more mundane illnesses in commercial establishments is the same as it was before: Express your concerns privately to the boss so as not to single out or embarrass individual employees.

lose weight on GLP-1s and won- der why it took that to find love. Protein cookies. Carnivore diets. The fact that BMI is a terrible measurement. The fact that I don’t know a better one.

Being a woman and having a body are inherently conflicting, and so the only thing I know about Ariana Grande is that she must be exhausted.

As I’m writing this I’m also thinking about how, a few months ago, I decided to lose the last five pounds of baby weight gained for a baby who is now going into kindergarten. And how I now imagine myself having all sorts of conversations with my daughter, wanting her to under- stand that all bodies are good bodies, that food is just food, that dessert isn’t a moral failing. That Mommy will love her just the same whether she weighs 100 or 400 pounds, but for some reason

Dear Miss Manners: When did it become appropriate for people to inject a statement proclaiming their religious beliefs, with an air of superiority, into conversations that are not specifically about religion?

I cannot count the times I have heard “I’m a Christian, and …” in the middle of a completely unrelated discussion. We could be talking about purchasing car tires, and this happens.

I don’t need to know their beliefs. Furthermore, this statement hijacks the meaning of the word “Christian.”

Etiquette has long recommended against injecting politics or religion into general

it was apparently very important to Mommy that she lose an in- credibly arbitrary and meaning- less five.

For … health? For yoga pants? I do not want my daughter to watch Ariana Grande’s new vid- eo. I do not want to have a conversation where I tell her what to think about Ariana Grande’s body, or explain that we live in a world where we think about her body at all.

Because none of this is really about Ariana Grande.

After six years of writing about gender and a year of writing about our relationship to screens, and after more than four decades as a woman — after all that, what I’m left with is that I still have no idea how to talk about Ariana Grande.

That’s what it’s about. We have no idea how to talk about any of this. And maybe we never will.

conversation because of the strong feelings they engender.

We have lately seen the consequences of disregarding the former rule. As to when the latter practice began, Miss Manners is not a theologian, but she believes Christian proselytizing dates at least as far back as Saint Paul — although not as a credential for judging tires.

‘Spider-Man’ has second-best North American opening ever

— AM

SPIDER-MAN from B1

$157 million Friday. The studio predicted it would lead to a $325 million opening weekend, which would still have beaten the sec- ond-place record. It takes the place of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” which opened to $260 million in December 2021. In the realm of best opening weekends in North America, they’re fol- lowed by “Avengers: Infinity War” ($257 million in 2018) and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ($247 million in 2015).

Expectations were always high for “Brand New Day,” which was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and cost a reported $225 million to produce, not including market- ing expenses. But there were wor- ries it wouldn’t attract the same level of mass audience enthusi- asm as its predecessor which inte- grated past Peter Parker actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Gar- field into the mix. In reality, inter- est was higher than ever. “Brand New Day” also received strong reviews from critics and audienc- es. It has a 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes; Audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore and a five-star rating on PostTrak.

Ticket buyers were predomi- nantly male (about 61 percent) and many were on the younger side, with slightly more than half the audience under the age of 25, according to PostTrak exit polls. The biggest group was between the ages of 18 and 24, which made up 36 percent of the audience; 27 percent were between the ages of 25 and 34. The box office ­analytics company EntTelligence estimates that about 24.1 million people attended “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” this weekend.

It’s also the biggest ever open- ing for Sony Pictures.

Years in the making, Hirshhorn’s new

sculpture garden will be ‘very active’

HIRSHHORN from B1 of Stillness” presents a trio of smil- ing figures originally created in miniature with clay, enlarged up to 13 feet tall and fabricated in aluminum. The artist was reacting to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and nuclear disaster in Japan after the quake struck near his home, and he found that the physicality of sculpting helped him deal with his feelings about the tragedy.

that made it less welcoming: Pre- pandemic, only about 20 percent of the museum’s visitors also went to the sculpture garden.

The renovation restores a 60- foot-wide entry that was part of Bunshaft’s original plan, improves drainage, adds two ramps for ac- cessibility and makes the garden more visible from the Mall. It also preserves the original Bunshaft- designed reflecting pool, while adding an adjacent U-shaped pool that can be transformed into a performance space with seating, when the water is drained.

The plan is for the garden to be “very active,” sculpture curator Anne Reeve says, as a space “to bring people in, including artists who can react to the space, react to other sculptures and perform works of their own.”

The west lawn of the garden will be a rotating exhibition space inaugurated with three works by Yoshitomo Nara, best known for his paintings of big-eyed, feisty children and animals. “Sentinels

Starring Tom Holland and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” took in $355 million in its opening weekend.

Tom Rothman, the Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, praised “the in- comparable Tom Holland” in a statement. Rothman famously pushed back the production of the movie to allow Holland to act in “The Odyssey” as well.

“They all began their life as clay figures that he squeezed, pushed and prodded and stamped by hand,” Reeve says. “They’re in- credibly charismatic.”

The Nara exhibition will be on display until November 2027.

The east side of the garden takes visitors chronologically through the museum’s sculpture collection beginning with Au- guste Rodin and his monumental “The Burghers of Calais.” This area will include many mainstays of the sculpture collection — works by Henry Moore, Joan Miró and Barbara Hepworth, along with Yoko Ono’s “Wish Tree for Wash- ington, DC,” a Japanese dogwood selected for its wide arms to facili-

New works will cycle in, too: “Tonatiuh,” a sundial carved in volcanic rock by Mexican artist Pedro Reyes; “Shelter,” a 14-foot bronze parent and child by Ameri- can artist Kaws; “Wish You Were Here,” a large sculpture of disem- bodied, crossed legs, as if someone were lying in the garden day- dreaming, by Thai artist Chatchai Puipia.

The backdrop for many of these works are stacked-stone walls, a departure from the Hirshhorn’s concrete brutalism (and a contro- versial choice, debated by some preservationists). Each stone was carved out of a quarry in Pennsyl- vania, hand-selected for its aes- thetic and meticulously arranged by Sugimoto’s studio. Each paving stone on the pathway was also hand-selected.

“Stone has become this motif for the entire project,” Reeve says. Sugimoto has “used it as a bridge between time spans … stone has been so fundamental to an evolu- tion of sculpture.”

Playing music is my life, but it’s harder

now. Must I quit? Readers give advice.

Carolyn Hax

We asked readers to channel their inner Carolyn Hax and answer this question. Some of the best responses are below.

Dear Carolyn: I’m almost 75. I am a retired professor and a professional musician. From age 3, I knew I wanted to play my instrument; from age 11, I was lucky enough to win an audition for a wonderful youth orchestra. As an adult, I’ve taught full time and enjoyed it for the most part. But what gave me the most challenges, excitement and joy has always been playing, especially orchestral.

Now that I’m retired, I don’t miss teaching at all. As arthritic pain and vision problems have made orchestral work harder and more painful, I have resigned from two orchestras. My musician friends and I made a pact: If one of us no longer sounds like themself, we will let them know. None of my friends have said a word.

In my heart, I know my technique is slower and a little less reliable. And I know my mind is slower, too. Part of me feels like I should resign from the other two orchestras; I never want to play if I’m not my colleagues’ equal.

However, this isn’t just what I do professionally. It’s who I am and what’s given me the most joy; it’s what has taken me all over, from Carnegie to Europe. Quitting will break my heart. Please help me make this decision.

The Musician: If the pandemic taught me anything (as a fellow aging musician), it’s to not take another gig for granted ever again. My life without music during that time was unbearable, so I know what you mean when you say, “It’s who I am.”

agile or accurate in their execution, but the heart and soul are still there. And when it comes down to it, isn’t that what matters most when it comes to making music?

The Musician: From one musician to another, I completely understand your pain. Every musician is their own worst critic. You feel your technique is slipping, and maybe it is, but remember that you have heard yourself play more than anyone else.

You hear every mistake, every flat that should be a natural, every slight mistiming. Be kind to yourself and, in a firm answer to your question, never stop playing until you physically can’t hold the instrument. Even professionally, take supporting roles in the pieces you’re playing. Slow down, but don’t stop. I am willing to bet your technique isn’t slipping from others’ perspective as much as it appears to you.

You still have gas in the tank and doing what you love is going to keep you happy and sharp (or flat, depending on the note!) longer than dropping something that is clearly a part of you. Good luck!

The Musician: Your friends might not be the most reliable critics, particularly if they are loath to take away a clear joy in your life.

Why don’t you ask the orchestra director or another lead for their (hopefully) more objective appraisal of your level of performance? It might be that your declining skills are still at a level that contributes to the orchestra. If so, then make the pact with that person so you can graciously accept their suggestion when it is time to go.

The Musician: Music is an art, not a science. Its beauty depends not only on great technique, but also on the feeling conveyed from the soul of the musician. Your participation in these last

out of movies like “Obsession,” “Backrooms” and “The Drama,” which also starred Zendaya.

They’re also helping blockbust- ers soar, and in a business that is partly propelled by momentum, “Spider-Man” had the benefit of coming after “The Odyssey,” which fell only 43 percent in its third weekend. “The Odyssey” has now earned $395.5 million domestically, bringing its global total to $911.4 million. The film will soon open in South Korea (Aug. 5), China (Aug. 14) and Japan (Sept. 11). Its studio, Uni- versal, also became the first this year to surpass $4 billion globally thanks in part to “Michael,” which it distributed internation- ally, and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.”

A slew of PG-rated holdovers rounded out the top five: “Toy Story 5” was in third place with $6.3 million, followed by “Min- ions & Monsters” in fourth and “Moana,” in fifth. And there were bright spots further down the chart as well. In sixth place with $2 million, “Hadestown: The Mu- sical” surpassed “Hamilton” to become the highest grossing live theater capture release ever with a running total of $18.2 million.

Paul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Ren- trak, said the “Spider-Man” effect could help the summer movie season surpass the $4 billion mark for the first time since the Barbenheimer summer of 2023, and the third-ever billion dollar August.

Sony Pictures/Ap

“This is perhaps the most im- portant summer moviegoing sea- son in the history of the business,” Dergarabedian said. August, he added, “could set up a home stretch of the box office year like no other and one that could push us over that $10 billion mark.”

two orchestras can serve as an inspiration to audience members, particularly those of a certain age. And your experience and wisdom can also guide and support your fellow musicians. There’s no dishonor in pursuing your passion as long as you can.

— Experience Matters

The Musician: Playing music in this way is not the only way to stay musical. And who you are is not only a musician. You know that, of course, but sometimes it helps to have someone else remind you.

Your letter is also chock full of giving things up, but I wonder if there’s any plan for filling in the blanks. Maybe adding some new things — musical or nonmusical — that you enjoy or that you’ve been wanting to do would ease the sting of the surrenders and open avenues for new adventures and new people.

There is so much to enjoy in life. I hope you find many, many more ways to bring yourself joy.

The Musician: My wife, who passionately loved music, recently died after a year in hospice. One of hospice’s services was providing home visits by a musician. My wife’s face lit up whenever the visiting musician started playing. I can guarantee you there are audiences out there whose hearts will melt even if you’re a beat slower. Find them.

BIRTHDAY | AUGUST 5: You are brave, determined and focused. You independently investigate instead of accept- ing conventional truths. This year change will bring you increased per- sonal freedom. Let go of whatever holds you back. Seek out new opport- unities. Be ready to act fast. This is a year of travel and expanding your horizons.

Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Resist the urge to get tangled up in financial disagreements with your kids, a friend, a group or a romantic partner. (Actually, anyone who wants to get in a fight with you.) You don’t need this. Focus on social outings today. Keep things light.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign. However, it’s at odds with two other planets, which can encourage power struggles and disputes, especially with authority figures like parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. Therefore, don’t push the river. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is the classic day for an argument with relatives, siblings, neighbors or daily contacts. Or it might be road rage. Don’t go there. Save your energy. The only thing anger does is make everyone miserable. It never helps. Patience is your best friend today.

HOROSCOPE

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re never casual about money, which is why you might end up in a dispute with a friend, group or finan- cial institution. You might even argue about an inheritance or your fair share of something. This tension will quickly blow over. Bide your time, because timing is everything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) This is a tricky day because you are high-viz, which means people notice you. But you might easily find yourself at odds with authority figures, spouses, partners or close friends. Cool your jets. Think of the impression you create on your audience.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Steer clear of controversial subjects today. Very likely, they will escalate into a nasty confrontation. You can never change someone else’s point of view. There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones. It is what it is. Stay calm.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Parents might find themselves at odds with their kids today. Likewise, romantic partners also might be angered. And some of you might be disappointed in a friend or a group. It’s just what’s happening. It’s hump day. Cope as best you can with courtesy and patience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Steer clear of confrontations with partners, spouses, family members and bosses today, because these clashes of egos could escalate quickly into something nasty. People never

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Interactions at work, politics, religion, racial issues plus appointments and errands that you’re juggling today are all reasons you might be at odds with someone. But this doesn’t have to happen. You have the power of choice. Remember, optimism is a survival issue for you. Stay happy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Avoid money squabbles if you can, especially with your kids, romantic partners and others, because this will only ruin your day. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Instead, buckle down, work hard and get stuff done. Productivity always boosts your self- respect. (You know this.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Partners, spouses, close friends and family members might be at odds with you today. If you enter the fray, there’s no winning. Instead, take a breath. Step back. Sit this one out. Tomorrow is a delightful, practical and productive day! Don’t get your belly in a rash today for no reason.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Although you will be tempted to respond in kind if you are attacked by others today, especially work coll- eagues or even an enemy, think of your own peace of mind. You matter. Don’t let what others say get under your skin. Ignore them.

In wake of

trade, Elias defends his track record

Orioles GM says club

is ‘in a really good spot’ after dealing Rutschman

BY NOAH TRISTER

Associated Press

Seven years after drafting Ad- ley Rutschman with the top over- all pick, Baltimore Orioles Gener- al Manager Mike Elias traded the all-star catcher to the division rival Boston Red Sox on Monday. In the interim, Baltimore man- aged one division title and one wild card before falling under .500.

So Elias was asked point blank why fans should believe he’s the man to guide the team to future success.

“While the last couple of years have really felt like a step back, and have been a step back from where this team was in 2023 and 2024, we have so many good play- ers in this organization,” he said. “We have so many things going for us in this organization in terms of the strength and the infrastructure, the business side of the operation, the ownership, the facilities. We now have a top farm system, and we have a great roster with a lot of really good players that are signed up for many years. And we have a lot of things going for us right now.”

Monday’s trade may work out for the Orioles in the long run. They acquired three of Boston’s top five prospects, according to MLB Pipeline. Fans generally un- derstand the logic of dealing a player who might become a free agent in the next year or two. But what makes this trade harder to stomach is the year and a half of failure that led up to it.

In 2023, the Orioles won 101 games. Rutschman and in- fielder Gunnar Henderson were franchise cornerstones, and sev- eral more top prospects were on the way. Even then, there were concerns Baltimore would have a hard time keeping those two stars — but the assumption was there would be a lot more winning before days such as Monday. In- stead, the Orioles are in danger of missing the playoffs for a second straight season.

“The last couple seasons have not gone to plan. There have been shortcomings, and ultimately those are my responsibility,” Elias said. “But this is a very hard game, we cannot succeed all the time, and we must keep going when things aren’t going our way.”

Elias did not sound like a man whose job was in jeopardy. The Orioles were 54-58 entering Tues- day but just 21/2 games out of the last wild card in the American League. If Elias felt he needed to produce a playoff team this year, he could have kept Rutschman and even added help.

There were reasons to trade him, though. Baltimore has catch- er Samuel Basallo, who is signed long term and is seven years younger than Rutschman. This type of deal — using a surplus at a key position to acquire help else- where — is something the Orioles

Seeking improvement on the corners

At Commanders camp,

string of defensive backs

get a chance to impress

BY TASHAN REED

Cornerback was a major weak- ness last year for the Washington Commanders. With training camp underway, it remains a question mark ahead of the 2026 season.

In 2025, the defense gave up 7.1 yards per attempt (second- worst in the NFL) and 33 passing touchdowns, which was tied for the third-most in the league. The porous pass rush, poor safety play and exploitable linebackers share some of the blame, but the cornerbacks didn’t do Washing- ton any favors.

Sometimes, that means spending your weekends watching air guitar championships.”

The assignment prep was unlike any he had undertaken: grainy YouTube videos, fruitless Google searches and unkempt record books. After hours of limited pro- ductivity, Jeff McCarragher decided it was time to “let it rip.” No amount of research was going to prepare him for a New Year’s Eve play-by-play job he already regretted giddily saying yes to.

“I could be spending time with my family,” he recalled thinking.

Instead, McCarragher, a financial advis- er and part-time broadcaster, would be calling the American Cornhole League on ESPNU as the ball dropped. As he looks back now, that gig is far from his weirdest.

Instead of making a big splash in the offseason, however, Gener- al Manager Adam Peters parted ways with Marshon Lattimore and signed a handful of veterans to short-term deals. The latest is Fabian Moreau, signed Tuesday to account for the loss of Ahkello Witherspoon, who suddenly de- cided to retire despite earning starting snaps Monday.

Peters spent the bulk of his resources on beefing up the de- fensive front. While that should help the pass coverage, the cor- ners still need to be able to hold up to give the rush time to get home.

Throughout training camp, cornerback has been a rotational spot for the Commanders. Amik Robertson and Mike Sainristil have taken the most snaps on the outside, but the coaching staff also has begun to work Rasul Douglas in with the starting line-

“Dan Quinn always preaches” being competitive, Robertson said last week. “And that’s what we want.”

Moreau played all 17 games under defensive coordinator Daronte Jones last season with the Minnesota Vikings, but he hasn’t logged a start since 2023. He was limited to individual drills Tuesday but will start to work into team drills moving forward.

The secondary has played well, collectively, throughout camp. The pass rush has done a good job of speeding up the quarter- backs, but they have also been sticky in coverage.

hits seven as Wood hits the IL

phillies 5,

nationals 0

Oblique strain shelves

slugger as woes continue

BY DANIELLE ALLENTUCK

PHILADELPHIA — The Washing- ton Nationals were already facing an uphill battle after the trade deadline, with Foster Griffin, their best starter, and Curtis Mead and Luis García Jr., two of their top hitters, traded to other teams.

If that wasn’t enough to derail their mojo, then two-time all-star James Wood landed on the in- jured list Tuesday with a left oblique strain. They hope it’s a short stint, but obliques are fin- icky, and hitting requires being able to rotate without pain. Plus, they have to face the Philadelphia Phillies — a team that only got stronger at the deadline with the addition of three-time batting champion Luis Arráez — on their home turf.

The result was as could be expected with all those factors: The Nationals lost, 5-0, on Tues- day to extend their losing streak to seven games and fall to 55-60, a season-high-tying five games un- der .500.

“It’s a lot. I’m not going to sit here and say it hasn’t affected anyone,” said right-hander Zack Littell, who gave up four runs in 62/3 innings. “This sucks. No one wants to be losing games like this. But at the same time, I’d rather do it now than in September when we have some time to play base- ball and get some games back.”

But to put themselves in a position where games matter in September, the Nationals need to play significantly better than they did Tuesday. Washington had just five hits as Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo pitched eight scoreless innings.

When the Nationals did man- age to get on base, they couldn’t push the runner across. That has been a consistent theme of the road trip: They were 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position Tues- day and are 3 for 45 six games into the eight-game trip.

“I think right now, they’re go- ing through it,” Manager Blake Butera said. “They know what we’re in the middle of right now. They know we’re not playing well right now. They know the stand- ings are changing. … When you have a young team like this, sometimes it takes a little bit of extra — whether it’s motivation or conversations from the staff to just continue to do your thing.”

Washington has been having those conversations in position groups, Butera said. CJ Abrams, who had two of the five hits, said he has been trying to keep his teammates motivated. Littell said he and some of the other veterans have tried to implore teammates that they need to keep showing up and doing the work.

Maryland set to reveal Preakness date for ’27

The date of the 2027 Preakness Stakes is set to be revealed Wednesday by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) and the Maryland Jockey Club.

There has been speculation about the Preakness moving back from two to three weeks after the Kentucky Derby to get more horses from the Triple Crown opener to run in the second leg. Golden Tempo became the second Derby winner in a row and third in five years not to take part.

But the Belmont Stakes staying on the first Saturday in June for next year could extend the troubles of the condensed calendar for at least one more Triple Crown season. The return of the race to Belmont Park is set for June 5 as part of a new ­3-year-old championship series that includes the Derby, the Belmont and races into the summer and possibly early fall.

For at least 2027, that series does not include the 152nd rendition of the Preakness, which is set to take place back at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore following a one-time stop at Laurel Park. Full reconstruction of the new Pimlico is expected to be completed by the spring of 2028, officials have said.

Two FIFA officials disavow Infantino’s plan

BY GRAHAM DUNBAR

GENEVA — Two senior FIFA executives — coaching great Arsène Wenger and CEO-like secretary general Mattias Graf- ström — distanced themselves Tuesday from their boss Gianni Infantino’s failed plan to sell stakes in future World Cup profits to private investors.

Wenger said in a statement that he knew nothing of the $20 billion plan and that it was “absolutely necessary” to drop the proposal. Grafström sent an email to all FIFA staff — seen by the Associated Press — calling the past week a “sad and reproachable series of events.” He also said it created “turmoil which is difficult to comprehend and accept.”

“A sad and reproachable series of events — which were thankfully con- cluded with the FFE project permanent- ly abandoned — for as much as we feel dismayed by them, should not overshad- ow this reality,” he wrote.

Neither directly named Infantino or offered support for the now-embattled president.

Late Tuesday, media reports in Britain said Infantino would hold a crisis meet- ing with senior FIFA staff in Morocco on Wednesday, which the governing body hadn’t confirmed.

Soccer

The comments by Wenger and Graf- ström had echoes of the direct criticism from FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour, who said Friday that staff had been “deceived” by Infantino’s private equity plan, which provoked a furor in global soccer. Lamour called it the “proj- ect of one person” and said FIFA staff “deserve better than contempt and in- timidation.”

The three executives are respected and trusted figures among the 211 FIFA member federations who now hold sway over Infantino’s grip on a presidency that looked unshakable after the World Cup ended in July.

Wenger, Grafström and Lamour also were named in a letter from UEFA’s lawyers to Infantino among 18 execu-

“You do not need to worry,” Grafström wrote Tuesday to the hundreds of FIFA staff based mostly in Zurich and Coral Gables, Florida. “I assure you that you as members of the administration, you will be defended and safeguarded from the political context we currently experi- ence.”

Wenger, who was hired by Infantino in 2019 and is FIFA’s chief of global football development, said he was “not involved in this strategic plan and first became aware of the project through media reports.”

Infantino withdrew his $20 billion proposal early Saturday after a furious backlash by global soccer officials, in- cluding European body UEFA warning of a boycott of all FIFA games and events.

The plan would have created a subsid- iary — known as FIFA Forward Enter- prise (FFE) — to run the moneymaking parts of the nonprofit soccer body’s work: organizing tournaments such as the World Cup and selling broadcasting and sponsorship rights, tickets and hos- pitality.

“The decision to withdraw the project was absolutely necessary and beyond question, because I firmly believe in an independent FIFA that serves our game with commitment, transparency, and integrity,” Wenger wrote.

Four executives from World Cup cities, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the outlet that FIFA management told them they would each receive $1 ‌million in “legacy” funds to build mini-pitches and support “social projects” in their cities.

That was the same amount of money that cities hosting ‌the Club ‌World Cup in 2025 were promised by Infantino in a public announcement.

Grafström, a longtime loyal aide to Infantino since their work together at UEFA, urged FIFA staff to “all continue being proud and happy” about the first 48-team World Cup.

Infantino has not publicly comment- ed on the schism in soccer since a FIFA statement early Saturday announcing that the proposal had been dropped. His official Instagram account has posted letters of support from several member federations, including 2030 World Cup co-host Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Infantino has been president of FIFA for more than 10 years, and he seemed sure to be reelected unopposed next March in Morocco. FIFA has set a Nov. 18 deadline for challengers to come for- ward, with Sweden’s soccer leader saying Monday that UEFA is seeking a rival candidate.

“We have all been thrown into the middle of a turmoil, which is difficult to comprehend and accept, but, as secre- tary general, I urge you to remain focused on what has always united us,” Grafström wrote. “I will continue to support our teams, our work and our mission every hour of every day for as long as my work is valued by those we serve.”

Cleveland’s WNBA club gets its name: Sirens

Cleveland’s WNBA expansion team had three priorities for the franchise’s name: It had to have its own identity and not be related to the NBA’s Cavaliers, it needed to tie into Lake Erie, and fans wanted something progressive.

The Cleveland Sirens think they accomplished all three when they introduced the name and branding during an event at Rocket Arena.

The WNBA’s 16th team will begin play in 2028. Cleveland was home to one of the league’s original franchises for the 1997 season, but the Rockers folded in 2003 when owner Gordon Gund could not find a new buyer.

Dan Gilbert’s Rock Entertainment Group, which has owned the Cavaliers since 2005, paid a $250 million expansion fee for Cleveland’s return to the WNBA.

The logo features a Siren underneath the name. The “S” in the wordmark also conceals “CLE.” The two shades of blue take inspiration from Lake Erie and the Rockers logo.

The No. 2-ranked Spaniard was hoping to return to defend his title in the hard-court tournament, which serves as a key warmup for the U.S. Open.

Alcaraz last played at the Barcelona Open, then missed the French Open and the entire ­grass-court season, including Wimbledon. He is entered in the U.S. Open, where he is the defending champion. ...

The million-dollar 1 Point Slam is returning to the first Grand Slam tennis tournament of 2027.

Australian Open organizers said the crowd favorite from January would again be offering a top prize of a million Australian dollars ($705,000 at current exchange rates) when it is held next year before the Jan. 17-31 main draw at Melbourne Park.

All the matches last a single point in a knockout bracket that includes men and women, professionals and amateurs.

Reusser takes Stage 4, leads Women’s Tour

Marlen Reusser of Switzerland seized the yellow jersey in the Women’s Tour de France by clocking the fastest time in an individual time trial to win stage four.

Reusser, the world time trial champion, lived up to her billing as the stage favorite by completing the 21-kilometer course from Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon in 27 minutes 30 seconds — four seconds faster than Lieke Nooijen.

The 34-year-old Reusser, who also won stages in 2022 and 2023, leads the general classification by 14 seconds over 2023 champion Demi Vollering, with Cédrine Kerbaol third, 54 seconds off the lead.

Ravens, Flowers agree on extension

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Baltimore Ravens agreed to a four-year, $140 million con- tract extension with two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flow- ers, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

The person spoke to the Asso- ciated Press on the condition of anonymity Tuesday because the terms hadn’t been announced. The agreement, which includes $108 million guaranteed, is a sizable commitment to Flowers, who is coming off a season in which he caught 86 passes for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns.

Baltimore drafted him in the first round in 2023, and the shifty 5-foot-9 receiver immediately be- came a factor with his quickness. He has now posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons as a top tar- get for quarterback Lamar Jack- son.

“Great day for the Ravens. Shoutout to Zay Flowers,” Balti- more Coach Jesse Minter said. “Nothing better as a coach than to see those guys get what they deserve. Really happy for Zay and excited for him. I can’t wait to see him thrive in our offense.”

l FALCONS: Atlanta agreed to a three-year contract exten- sion with Bijan Robinson through the 2030 season that makes the fourth-year player the NFL’s highest-paid running back.

The extension is worth up to $75 million with incentives, with $51 million guaranteed, a person with knowledge of the details told the AP.

“It’s a lot of competition at that spot,” Coach Dan Quinn said of the CB position opposite Trey Amos.

“It’s a lot of competition at that spot,” Quinn said, “and it’ll take a little bit for that selection to take place.”

Commanders from B7 Cornerbacks remain a primary concern

183 pounds, but he’s athletic, physical and sound in his tech- nique, and he has a knack for making plays on the ball. He’s performing how the Command- ers envisioned he would when they signed him to a two-year, $15 million contract this offseason.

“With Amik, the thing that just absolutely impressed me before he was a Commander was this relentless, competitive play style. He’s an absolute dog,” Quinn said in March. “He has a chip on his shoulder, and he’s ready to go battle for it. I thought, ‘That’s us,’ in terms of an attitude and an edge.

“Players like Amik have the type of resilience and attitude to battle that I really like. … He doesn’t just make the corner- backs better: It’s also the receiv- ers and the way that you practice. All of that, when you’re put into this competitive arena, just ele- vates [everyone].”

When Washington has gone to its nickelback package, Sainristil has typically slid over into that role. The Commanders have also occasionally used a three-safety package in which safety Nick Cross or Quan Martin has lined up as the slot defender.

If Sainristil doesn’t win a start- ing job on the outside, it looks as if he’ll find his home at nickel. It didn’t go well when the Com- manders started him there last season, but they’re hoping he’ll be able to provide better results in Jones’s scheme.

Essentially, the Commanders have a four-way competition for one outside cornerback spot be- tween Robertson, Sainristil, Douglas and Moreau. That’s ­because second-year corner Trey

The base value of $66.8 mil- lion gives Robinson a $22.3 mil- lion average salary, making him the league’s top-paid running back. Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley’s average is $20.6 million. …

Linebacker Jalon Walker was carted off the practice field after injuring his left leg.

Walker couldn’t place any weight on the leg as he was helped off the cart and taken into the locker room.

l BEARS: Standout right tack- le Darnell Wright agreed to a contract extension with Chicago.

The Bears announced the deal by saying “The Wright Tackle is here to stay.” It’s a four-year, $116 million contract, a person familiar with the agreement told the AP. The deal includes $93 million guaranteed, the per- son said.

The contract is the biggest ever for a right tackle and in- cludes the most guaranteed money for an offensive lineman in NFL history, according to ESPN.

l PANTHERS: Carolina’s 2024 first-round draft pick Xavi- er Legette was carted off the field with a stinger injury after land- ing awkwardly as he attempted to make a leaping catch in the end zone.

Stingers are injuries that im- pact the nerves in the upper arm, neck or shoulder and often give a player a burning sensation in his arms and hands. Most stingers resolve quickly, but some symp- toms can last weeks or months.

Amos will slide in as a starter whenever he’s ready to return to action. He’s on the physically unable to perform list as he continues to rehab from the bro- ken fibula that ended his rookie season. He has had some linger- ing soft tissue soreness that has kept him out, but he will be reevaluated Thursday.

Amos had a solid rookie sea- son. He had six pass deflections and yielded just one touchdown but allowed a completion rate of 71.1 percent (177th among quali- fying players) and 8.3 yards per target (189th), according to Pro Football Reference. While he has the size and athletic traits that coaches fawn over, he still needs to show he’s capable of putting it all together.

Meanwhile, the focus lies on the position battle to decide who will start on the opposite side of the field. That probably won’t be decided until closer to Week 1.

Other camp observations

These players didn’t practice: Left tackle Laremy Tunsil (rest, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss team matters), center Nick Allegretti (calf), right guard Sam Cosmi (undisclosed), tight end John Bates (hamstring), de- fensive end Deatrich Wise (quad), defensive end Dorance Armstrong (ACL), defensive end Drake Jackson (undisclosed), Amos and punter Tress Way (pec- toral)

l COWBOYS: Dallas tight end Princeton Fant is out for the season after suffering a knee injury in training camp Monday.

Fant tore his ACL and partially tore his MCL, and he will under- go surgery in the coming weeks, Coach Brian Schottenheimer said. Fant was hurt on a knee-on- knee hit to his left leg after being blocked backward into running back Israel Abanikanda during the Cowboys’ first full pads prac- tice.

l PACKERS: Green Bay’s Mi- cah Parsons doesn’t know exactly when he will be cleared to play in an NFL game this season, but the all-pro edge rusher is warning opponents to be ready for him to unleash the frustration that has built while he has been sidelined.

Speaking with reporters for the first time since the Packers opened training camp last week, Parsons made his motivation very clear. Parsons is on the physically unable to perform list as he works his way back from the torn ACL in his left knee that ended his first season with the Packers in December.

“I think people are worried about, you know, if I come back. I just feel like people should just be worried about how I’m going to be when I come back,” Parsons said. “Like, people are worried about the knee. They should be worried about how I’m going to play when I get back. The anger, the frustration, the things that I’m going to have to let out because of how long it’s been since I played.”

It was his first time missing practice since the start of camp. …

Allegretti’s injury has raised concerns about the Command- ers’ depth at center. He has been a very durable player during his career — he has missed just one game since 2020 — but having someone ready to go behind him remains important.

The Commanders have tasked Julian Good-Jones, who has ap- peared in only one game since entering the league in 2020, with that assignment. Quinn thought Good-Jones performed well while handling most of the start- ing center reps in the first padded practice Monday.

“We’ve got a lot of faith in him. He’s one of those guys, man, that puts in the work,” Quinn said. “His body is stronger. … He’s definitely a player that’s on a mission.” …

The Commanders’ shorthand- ed starting offensive line consist- ed of Andrew Wylie at left tackle, Chris Paul at left guard, Good- Jones at center, Trent Scott at right guard and Josh Conerly Jr. at right tackle. On some drives, Brandon Coleman replaced Paul. …

The Commanders started their next phase of training camp, which consists of longer drives during team periods, on Tuesday. Beforehand, they largely focused on red-zone work. …

With the field opened up, the defense spent more time in its nickel package. Sonny Styles and Frankie Luvu spent the most time as the inside linebackers with K’Lavon Chaisson and Odafe Oweh working as the outside linebackers. At safety, Jeremy Reaves and Cross were the most- used duo.

Zack Littell allowed four earned runs in 62/3 innings as Washington (55-60) lost its seventh straight.

falling a little bit right now,” Littell said. “This team is still really good.”

On Tuesday, the Phillies took control of the game early. In the first inning, with Carson Palmquist serving as the Nation- als’ opener, Trea Turner singled and Bryce Harper walked. Arráez, in his first at-bat with his new team, hit an RBI single to put the Phillies up 1-0. That also chased Palmquist, far earlier than the Nationals probably wanted.

Littell, who was scheduled to pitch the bulk of the game, got Alec Bohm to ground into a dou- ble play to end the first inning. But two innings later, Littell found himself in trouble. Turner again singled and Harper again walked. Arráez then drove them in again, hitting a grounder that went beyond the diving attempt of first baseman Andrés Chapar- ro. Turner was able to score, while Harper advanced to third and Arráez to second.

They both scored later that inning, Harper on a sacrifice fly and Arráez on a double from Brandon Marsh. That gave the Phillies a 4-0 lead, and they add- ed on to that in the seventh to make it 5-0. They maintained the lead without much of a fight from the Nationals.

Before the game, as Butera relayed the news that Wood was going on the injured list, he said the Nationals would have to show resiliency and adopt the “next

could perhaps have used more of a few years ago, when they had a wealth of hitting in the majors and minors but needed pitching.

Baltimore acquired just one major leaguer — catcher Carlos Narváez — for Rutschman. Once again, the Orioles have to sell their fans on minor league pros- pects. The last collection of young talent hasn’t totally delivered on its promise. Rutschman had a down year in 2025, and Hender- son is having one this year. Jack- son Holliday, Colton Cowser and Coby Mayo have all had struggles at the plate. Pitcher Grayson Ro- driguez couldn’t stay healthy and was ultimately traded for what turned out to be four months of Taylor Ward. (The outfielder, a pending free agent, was also dealt Monday.)

Baltimore hasn’t won a pen- nant since 1983. The franchise that became famous for the Ori- ole Way has been largely medio- cre since then — an issue that long preceded Elias. When he arrived in November 2018, a rebuild was already underway after the team lost 115 games that year.

“We had a lot of work to do around the org. We did it, and for a period of time there — we won a hundred games in 2023 — we had a consensus farm system and a core that looked like it was in a tremendous spot, in a really historically strong spot,” Elias said. “I think to some degree I personally, looking back, got

man up” mentality if they were going to put up a fight.

Except neither of those things happened. Dylan Crews, hitting leadoff in place of Wood, went 0 for 4. Chaparro, the replacement at first for García, struck out twice. Brady House, playing third in place of Mead, did have one of the Nationals’ five hits, but failed to produce anything of value.

“Just the reality of it is we haven’t seen a ton of players stepping up because we’re not playing very well right now,” Butera said. “It’s really hard to try to step up and be that guy when we’re not performing.”

Note: Wood was injured on a swing in the top of the seventh inning of Monday night’s 6-3 loss to the Phillies. He remained in the game initially because running and throwing felt fine, he said, but when he tried to take a couple of swings, something didn’t feel right.

Wood had an MRI exam Tues- day, which revealed the strain. The Nationals are hopeful it will be a short stint on the IL.

“I was actually pretty happy,” Butera said of the results. “Any- time someone feels their side on a swing, I haven’t been around many where the results came back this good. There’s been some obliques that people have missed three, four months because of these things. … So the fact I heard the doctor had to really look for it to find it is a good thing.”

caught up in a narrative about a rebuild. Baseball’s very hum- bling, and it doesn’t go linearly, and things shifted and changed, and we had a lot of bad luck on the injury front. We had a lot of injuries, and we had regression and things that changed course.”

It’s possible Baltimore’s for- tune will swing back in a positive direction. The injury luck could improve, and maybe someone such as Holliday grows into a star. Or the next generation of pros- pects might have more staying power. Even so, Elias will have to prove he’s as good at buying as he seems to be at selling — and that acquiring all this young talent

The call-up is a long time coming. Pinckney, who was se- lected in the fourth round of the 2023 MLB draft, has been with the Red Wings since midway through the 2024 season. He was hitting .271 with a .770 OPS and can play all three outfield posi- tions.

“We’re in a really good spot with the health of the org, the talent that’s in the org, the play- ers, the system that we have,” Elias said. “We need to get better, we need to continue to adjust and evolve. Our competition is very, very stiff, but I like where we’re at. The way that we’ve gotten here has felt different because of the last couple of years and how we’ve tapered down the last couple years from where our record was in 2023 and 2024. But the future is strong, and I think it starts right now.”

Post-Rutschman era

starts with an O’s win

BY MICHAEL HOWES

BALTIMORE — Twenty-four hours after trading fran-

chise face Adley Rutschman, the Baltimore Orioles had a choice. They could let the emotions of Monday’s trade deadline linger. Or they could turn the page.

They chose the latter, defeating the Los Angeles

Angels, 3-1, to begin the final 50 games of the season with a much-needed win. Left-hander Cade Povich, recalled Tuesday to fill the rotation spot vacated when Dean Kremer was traded Saturday, dueled with for- mer Oriole Grayson Rodriguez, tossing six scoreless innings and striking out a season-high seven.

Povich, who made his first start for Baltimore since

May 7, allowed seven hits and just one walk, giving the Orioles reason to believe he can help fill the opening in their rotation. The Orioles (55-58) also started catcher Carlos Narváez, who was part of the Rutsch­- man trade.

Christian Franklin, acquired from the Washington

Nationals on Monday, made his major league debut and made an almost immediate impact, drawing a walk to lead off the third inning in his first plate appearance. Four batters later, Pete Alonso lined a one-out single to center to give Baltimore a 2-0 lead.

The Angels threatened Baltimore’s lead in the top

of the eighth against Andrew Kittredge. Nolan Schan- uel scored from second when Christian Encarnacion- Strand couldn’t field Vaughn Grissom’s grounder at third, but Moisés Ballesteros grounded out two bat- ters later to end the threat.

Tyler O’Neill restored Baltimore’s two-run lead in

the bottom half with his eighth home run of the season, a pinch-hit solo shot.

Diamondbacks 5,

Padres 1 Late Monday

Tim Tawa hit a three-run homer and Brandon Pfaadt carried a shutout into the seventh inning as Arizona beat San Diego.

The victory moved the Diamondbacks two games ahead of San Diego in the National League wild-card race.

golf notes

He’ll always have Paris: Gerard became a globe-trotter in a whirlwind year

BY DOUG FERGUSON

It was nothing more than a post-British Open vacation with his mother, but there could be no better place than Paris to remind Ryan Gerard how much life has changed in seven months.

Think back to the penultimate week in December when Gerard, a month into his offseason and at No. 57 in the world ranking, flew halfway around the globe to the tiny island of Mauritius for a shot at finishing the year in the top 50 in the world.

He lost in a playoff but moved to No. 46 to secure his trip to the Masters. His flight home includ- ed a long layover in Paris, enough time for him to see the Notre Dame cathedral, the Arc de Tri- omphe and the Eiffel Tower. “Pretty sick,” he said that day.

Gerard opened the year with consecutive runner-up finishes. He earned his way into the U.S. Open and British Open, lost in a playoff at the Memorial and goes into the Wyndham Champion- ship at No. 16 in the FedEx Cup as he looks toward making the Tour Championship.

His mother came over to Royal Birkdale, where Gerard tied for ninth, and they were off to Paris for three days. That’s when Ge- rard, who doesn’t take much seri- ous outside of his golf, went on a most unusual search to find “the worst statue that I could possibly find.”

“There’s a lot of just random statues,” he said. “In the Louvre there’s a statue of a child choking out a duck — like, full, rear-naked choke. So I felt like I found it pretty quickly.”

That would be “Boy with a

The life of broadcasters

who call ‘almost sports’

Announcers from B7

“But this is actually a valuable job,” McCarragher said. “In multi- ple ways: We’re doing something people cherish, even if they don’t entirely know it. And, truthfully, this is the way the system works. If you want to be calling MLB or whatever one day, you take what you can get.

“Sometimes, that means spending your weekends watch- ing air guitar championships.”

The low-viewership offerings of major networks, glorified space fillers, have long been a proving ground for aspiring broadcasters. Weird hours, even weirder sports and pay as low as $25,000 per year for some consis- tent contractors provide valuable reps and irrefutable hope. Yet the most offbeat of offbeat sports gigs, where broadcasters can wind up on a personal expedition for purpose more than prospect, have been around just a few decades. And only in the past decade have they truly reached the mainstream consciousness.

“Whoever thought of broad- casting this,” McCarragher said recently, while preparing for the ACL World Championships in July, “must have really been off his rocker.”

‘We gotta show something’

ESPN became the first sports- centric network to operate a con- tinuous 24-hour broadcasting schedule in 1980. The only prob- lem? No mainstream American sports held competitions in the middle of the night.

Instead of taped reruns, it started picking up alternative sporting events. Kickboxing, bowling and Australian-rules football (we remember you, Syd- ney Swans) lent way to slow-pitch softball and, gradually, even more niche presentations.

“People love those types of things,” said Tom Cavanaugh, the vice president of production at Tupelo Raycom, which produces ESPN’s ACL shows. “The audi- ence was never going to be mas- sive, but it was unique and bought in. It helped with offering this wellspring of sports, where everyone could find something for themselves. … And we gotta show something, you know?”

His company started working with America’s top cornhole league, the ACL, in 2017, as ESPN rapidly turned the sport into a centerpiece in The Ocho. Three years later, when the coronavirus pandemic shut down sports, cornhole took advantage.

“We were already naturally so- cial-distancing,” McCarragher said. “So it made sense [for corn- hole] to be back on air first. We ended up getting four hours on ESPN properties every weekend that summer. It was a boon.”

Goose” by the Greek sculptor Boethus.

It sounded as though his moth- er, meanwhile, enjoyed herself. She certainly had more time in Paris than Gerard did seven months ago on his way home from Mauritius.

“She thought I was stupid,” Gerard said. “She was appreciat- ing the art, and I was just looking at dumb statues.”

Another schedule installment

The PGA Tour plans an update on its two-tiered schedule for 2028 at the season-ending Tour Championship. But it keeps drop- ping tidbits along the way.

The latest came Tuesday, and just like the previous two from last week, it wasn’t a big surprise. The tour said the Cadillac Cham- pionship at Trump Doral would be part of the upper tier Champi- onship Series in 2028. Still to be determined is its spot on the calendar.

Doral was added as a signature event this year — Cameron Young smoked Scottie Scheffler and ev- eryone else in the field — in a sparsely attended tournament that ended May 3. It moves to the first full week in March for 2027, making it the Florida swing open- er.

Last week, the tour announced on July 27 the Travelers Champi- onship would be part of the up- per-tier Championship Series. The next day, it announced a new sponsor (Sompo) for a Champion- ship Series event. The Sentry at Torrey Pines was announced as upper tier July 29, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill was announced July 30 as a Championship Series event.

and smack of cornhole’s rhythmic competitions. Others followed: CBS bought rights to the Sport Fishing Championship — deep- sea big-fish hunting — in 2022. Fox Sports amped up its bowling shows.

What networks now needed, though, was folks to voice their new 2 a.m. toys. The leagues often provided color commentators who could explain the quirks of whole-kernel corn vs. plastic res- in pellets (for those unacquaint- ed: the types of cornhole bag fillings, apparently) and other intricacies of each sport. The play-by-play partner, whom the network provided to work with a league’s color commentator, needed to be a fixer, keeping the broadcast on its route.

Cavanaugh looks for those who are eager to teach themselves something new. They just have to want it.

“The best way to get better at this, after all, is to be doing it,” he said. “No matter what sport you’re calling.”

Once rejected from broadcast- ing school, Frank Mazzella broke in when he learned of a stone- skipping competition a few hours from his home in Michigan. He reached out to see if the skippers wanted someone to commentate. Surely it was a scam, they thought, but Mazzella asked for no money. So they told him he could drop by. Weeks later, he was calling the shots (literally).

During the early 2010s, his schedule expanded as he became the voice of pizza acrobatics, Ru- bik’s Cube and mullet champion- ships. If someone had an offbeat game they wanted to hit the airwaves, he was their man. His Michigan tags crisscrossed state lines throughout the Midwest as he spent motel nights teaching himself anything he could about concepts his mind had barely even considered.

“I fell in love with the weird,” he said.

ESPN expanded its foray into the obscure with The Ocho, a name taken from the 2004 come- dy “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” in which the sport is broadcast on ESPN8: The Ocho. Jason Bateman plays color com- mentator Pepper Brooks, a juiced version of the characters such as McCarragher and Mazzella who make a living filling airwaves during some of America’s best “almost sports,” as Brooks was known to say.

The network hired regional broadcasters for nearly every event to account for the sheer sleepless scale of the new mara- thon. Mazzella became a staple, rotating through his Rolodex and pitching the Worldwide Leader idea after idea. This week, for the 10th anniversary of The Ocho, he’ll call the 2026 Nok Hockey Championships (one-on-one ta- bletop hockey played with a wooden puck and sticks).

A December trip to the tiny island of Mauritius sparked an unlikely odyssey for Ryan Gerard, which has included two trips to France.

The full 2028 schedule — the Championship Series and Chal- lenger Series — probably won’t be fully finished until early next year. Other tournaments expect- ed to be on the top tier are the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow and the Memorial.

And then it’s a matter of which others will be part of the 14 or 15 tournaments (excluding ma- jors, The Players and postseason) that will form the meat of the new PGA Tour schedule.

Langer goes back to his roots

The PGA Tour Champions went to Portugal for the first time last week, and it gave Bernhard Langer a chance to reflect on how far he has come from a German

Jeff McCarragher, above, is going on seven years broadcasting the American Cornhole League. It’s far from the weirdest gig he has had.

To fill other slots, the network leaned on Cavanaugh’s system. If it could find someone driven and willing to embrace the environ- ment, even if only as a career stepping stone, it would train them. Nowadays, it’s a birthright for big-time announcers to have a tall tale of the backcountry event they once called.

“I’m always amazed by how much people enjoy this,” Mazzella said. “It gave me a career.”

Fight for the mic

One winter two decades ago, after a long day of classes, McCa- rragher dozed off in his dorm room at the University of Kansas. He owned an old CRT TV some- one had given him when he was leaving for school, but it picked up only a few local channels. A glorified night light. That was until a regional provider started showing Royals games.

The team’s play-by-play voice seeped into his dreams. And dur- ing his senior year, he scored the “job of a lifetime” working with the Royals’ broadcast team. Kan- sas City’s announcers bounced around the same halls where McCarragher trotted coffee and helped with the pregame show.

It was then, he said, that he decided he wanted to be an MLB broadcaster. In the following nine years, he made his way through varying levels in the New York Mets, New York Yankees and De- troit Tigers organizations.

But his career stalled, and he started a family, so McCarragher decided to take a smaller role with Charleston College as a full- time baseball and basketball an- nouncer in 2010. Shortly after, he began working in real estate and transitioned to financial advis- ing.

teenager turning pro to a two- time Masters champion in the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Langer began the 1976 Europe- an Tour season at the Portuguese Open. He was 18. His accommo- dation was the car he had driven from Munich. He couldn’t afford a caddie, so he used a trolley.

“I had very little money, and the prize money was very low,” Langer said. “There were no cour- tesy cars, no range balls, no food. You had to buy everything and bring everything yourself. It was extremely difficult just getting from one place to another be- cause I couldn’t even rent a car. I was too young.”

Langer missed the 54-hole cut and drove to the Spanish Open,

The Vegas High Rollers won the ACL World Championships. Cash Chamness, right, the 10-year-old captain, got to hold the trophy.

“Can I help with your retire- ment?” he joked with a light sigh. “Sometimes, you have to wait for your dreams. This market can create a lot of waiting.”

About a decade after he settled down, he was still taking regional gigs via connections he had made with ESPN’s Charlotte produc- tion houses and Cavanaugh. His goal was to keep his voice active, even if he was slipping out of the industry. Every once in a while, he would help with college baseball and softball games around the southern tip of South Carolina

where he missed another 54-hole cut. But he struck it rich in his third start at the Madrid Open. He tied for fifth and won just over $1,000.

“It was challenging, but it was a brand new experience. It was exciting for me, as difficult as it was,” Langer said. “Things were difficult in those days, but it made you probably work even harder to succeed.”

That he did. Three years later, he had the first of his 40 Europe- an Tour titles. Nine years later, he was a Masters champion. And at age 68, Langer has set a new benchmark on the PGA Tour Champions with 47 victories.

Only now he’s flying to tourna- ments and staying in hotels.

Korda stands tall in majors

Nelly Korda has to settle for winning the first two majors, and along the way she picked up an LPGA award for the best perfor- mance in the majors.

Korda and Haeran Ryu each won two majors this year, and only Ryu had a reasonable chance to win the final major at the Women’s British Open until she closed with two bogeys for a 74 and slipped into a tie for sixth. Korda finished with a 68 that moved her up to a tie for fourth.

That was enough for her to win the points-based Annika Award for major champions accruing the most points in a major.

Along with winning the Chev- ron and the U.S. Women’s Open, Korda tied for eighth in the Wom- en’s PGA Championship and missed the cut in the Evian Cham- pionship. Ryu tied for 12th in the Chevron and won the Women’s PGA and the Evian. She did not

during an evening. On fall week- ends, he was known to bounce across state lines for some college volleyball, sure to be back in time for his day job. Then Cavanaugh approached him with an “odd question.”

“He asked if I knew anything about cornhole,” McCarragher said. “I told him ‘Of course,’ know- ing I didn’t have a clue.”

He and his wife, Kathy, had a couple of long conversations about his schedule, given that low-level broadcasting roles call for 18-hour days, red-eye nights,

play in the U.S. Women’s Open.

The award began in 2014. Kor- da joined Minjee Lee as the only players to win it twice.

and devastated weekend plans. Traveling again, he would see his family less, such as during the holidays, when the ACL typically hosts a couple of events.

The thought started to creep in: Was this even worth it any- more?

Turning into the back roads of broadcasting requires that gut check. Calling cow-chip tossing (the throwing of dried bovine feces) or bubblegum blowing can zap the life out of one clawing into a deeply competitive field. Yet those such as Bob Egan, now a Wisconsin cow-chip expert; Tim Heng, an Excel wizard; and Maz- zella, who knows “everything,” survived. McCarragher figured it was worth a shot.

Despite his nerves, his first broadcast went well enough that he’s now going on seven years with the ACL. A few seasons back, it earned him a call for the U.S. Air Guitar Championships. Hav- ing learned, he told the crew manager he needed to think about it.

The time away, added to an already oozing schedule, would surely weigh on his family. He had never even heard of “air guitar.” The studying alone would pin him in his bedroom-office for a few long nights.

Yet he couldn’t tame the urge. “It’s like being a starving actor,” he said. “You never want to say no.”

So he sat down at his desk, opened his laptop and began typing: What is air guitar? Hours later, he had found an answer. Videos of costumed, hyperener- getic performers and their rabid supporters sucked him in.

RICHMOND — Virginians on Tuesday voted for their nominees for this year’s congressional mid- term elections, capping a primary season marked by upheaval thanks to Democrats’ failed redis- tricting initiative.

The commonwealth typically holds its primaries in June but this year moved them to August to accommodate a push approved by voters — but squashed by the

The state Supreme Court struck down the Democrats’ re- drawn map, which would have given their candidates a shot at winning 10 of the state’s 11 con- gressional seats, but not before candidates launched campaigns in those presumed districts. When it became clear in May that voters would be casting ballots in congressional districts that have been in place since 2021, many candidates ended their bids. Oth- ers scrambled to move their cam- paign to another district, while some opted to carry on in much less favorable races.

Trump

orders helipad changes

at issue: slope of

white house lawn

President wants project

completed for Xi’s visit

BY DAN DIAMOND AND PETER W. STEVENSON

President Donald Trump has directed contractors to redo weeks of work on his planned White House helipad, frustrated with its appearance and ques- tioning whether the slope of the White House lawn needs to be changed, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss his private comments.

Trump has made the helipad a priority, ordering that work be- gun in June be completed in time for a state visit in September, but was dissatisfied with the results, the people said. The White House’s South Lawn, where the helipad is being built, slants downward. Trump has expressed a desire for a landing pad that sits level with the horizon, prompting contractors to disassemble their work and consider whether to start by changing the lawn itself, the people said.

Photographs obtained by The Washington Post on Tuesday show how contractors have taken apart their work, including a 100- foot-wide granite presidential seal that was beginning to take shape last week.

Construction crews having been working around the clock on the project, which Trump hopes will wrap up before Chi- nese President Xi Jinping visits in late September, The Post reported last month.

It was unclear how much addi- tional cost or time the latest changes would add to the $5 million-plus project, which is be- ing paid for by Lockheed Martin. It owns the company that manu- factures the helicopters.

Lockheed Martin declined to comment Tuesday about whether it had been asked to cover any additional costs. Clark Construc- tion, the firm that is working on the project, referred questions to the White House, which did not comment on the president’s spe- cific changes.

“For years, the White House has desperately needed a proper Helipad on White House grounds that will allow the President to land safely and also protect the beautiful South Lawn grass from the fierce exhaust fumes of the incredible Marine One,” spokes- man Davis Ingle said in a state- ment. “Thanks to President Trump, the White House has nev- er looked better, and it will only continue to get better under his leadership.”

Helipads should be flat for safety but do not need to be perfectly horizontal, to ensure water runoff, according to federal recommendations. The South

Backlog of police misconduct cases tests law intended to raise accountability

duct.

BY MAGGIE TROVATO

Baltimore Sun

More than 800 allegations of misconduct against Baltimore police officers are awaiting re- view by the trial board — a backlog that has grown sharply this year and now stands as one of the biggest challenges facing Maryland’s police accountability system.

Some of the cases date from 2021, leaving disciplinary deci- sions in limbo for years and raising concerns among criminal justice researchers that pro- longed delays could erode public confidence in a system lawmak- ers created to restore trust after decades of criticism over police discipline.

“These delays certainly have the potential to undermine citi- zen trust,” said Rod Brunson, chair of the University of Mary- land’s department of criminology and criminal justice.

The mounting backlog is one of the first significant stress tests for Maryland’s Police Account- ability Act, which dismantled the long-criticized Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights disciplin- ary process and replaced it with a system intended to increase civil- ian participation and transpar- ency.

Four years later, officials agree that the new framework has created a bottleneck at the trial board stage, which is reached if an officer disagrees with the recommended disciplinary mea- sures imposed upon them.

Under Maryland’s current sys- tem, misconduct complaints are first investigated by the Balti- more Police Department. The Administrative Charging Com- mittee then determines whether administrative charges should be filed. If the committee recom- mends discipline and the officer rejects the proposed penalty, the case moves to a trial board.

Each trial board consists of a retired or administrative law judge, a civilian appointed by the Police Accountability Board, and a police officer of equal rank to the accused officer.

A Roomba for ticks? Old Dominion researchers test robotic predator.

BY NATALIE ANDERSON

Virginian-Pilot

Virginian-Pilot

CHESAPEAKE — As Virginia sees an uptick in tick-related illness- es, a Roomba-type technology dubbed the TickBot may be the answer to fighting off the pesky parasites.

A group of researchers at Old Dominion University — dubbed the ODU Tick Research Team — have set out to test a new technol- ogy intended to kill ticks without harming the surrounding envi- ronment or wildlife by using a remote-controlled robot on four wheels. The TickBot is armed with a cloth treated with per- methrin, an insecticide typically sprayed on military uniforms and boots. The chemical is a neurotoxin that kills ticks within 45 minutes of exposure to the treated fabric while posing little risk to other critters.

“The huge advantage of this is that it’s self-contained, and the moving vehicle will scare off the most beneficial insects,” said Hol- ly Gaff, who heads the tick re- search team and chairs the bio- logical sciences department. “They’ll fly away from something moving.”

Since 2012, the researchers have collected more than 350,000 ticks across Hampton Roads, aiming to better under- stand health risks, prevention strategies, and diagnostics and treatment. Current efforts come as Virginia and most of the rest of America are seeing an increase in emergency hospital visits for tick bites.

Trails within the Preserve on the Elizabeth neighborhood in Chesapeake are among the first sites in the pilot program. Re- searchers also have tested the technology at Hoffler Creek Wildlife Preserve in Portsmouth

boards in December. As of July, that number exceeded 800, even as officials say the city has accel- erated the pace of hearings.

Police and city officials argue that the Maryland Police Ac- countability Act created a more complex disciplinary process. Baltimore Deputy Solicitor Ste- phen Salsbury said during a July Board of Estimates meeting that it takes time to implement an entirely different police account- ability process with new judges and rules.

Deputy Commissioner Brian Nadeau said that before the law took effect in 2022, officers could negotiate disciplinary sanctions without a formal hearing.

Others say the larger obstacle is scheduling.

Baltimore Police Accountabili- ty Board Chair Jamal Turner said coordinating the three-member trial board, the accused officer,

and NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton.

The TickBot models a typical tick collection, which involves waving a white permerthrin- treated cloth over vegetation and leaf litter where many ticks hang out in search of a host. Research- ers are relying on the Chesapeake neighborhood to test the technol- ogy so it can eventually be com- mercialized into an accessible tool for people to perhaps use in their own backyards. The ongo- ing research also helps to better understand the risks ticks pose to humans by studying their habits and pathogens.

A robot that operates on the ground is ideal: Despite a com- mon myth, ticks live and move on the ground, not in trees.

“From that initial idea of some very small-scale surveillance, it’s kind of blown up into this entire team of really understanding what’s going on in our neck of the woods,” Gaff said. “It’s kind of like Roomba for ticks in your back- yard.”

Tick bites pose a significant health risk for pets and humans, spreading illnesses such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and alpha-gal syndrome. In Virginia, the most common are blacklegged ticks, lone star ticks, American dog ticks and Gulf Coast ticks.

In the 2000s, Virginia became a “battleground” state for Lyme disease, which can cause rashes, fatigue, headaches, fever, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes that worsen if un- treated. Rocky Mountain spotted fever has some of the same symp- toms and can even be fatal.

Another condition that needs more research but is an increased concern in Virginia is alpha gal syndrome. It can often be mistak- en for food poisoning, as it often

attorneys and witnesses has be- come a logistical challenge. If any participant cannot attend, the hearing must be postponed.

“There has to be perfect chem- istry,” Turner said.

Salsbury agreed that schedul- ing has become a significant bottleneck to adjudication.

The Maryland Office of Ad- ministrative Hearings, which provides judges for trial boards, declined to comment on which factors might have contributed to the backlog. Judge Syeetah Hampton-El, deputy director of operations, said in an emailed statement that the agency “stands ready” to schedule hear- ings requested by law enforce- ment agencies and can accom- modate in-person, virtual or hy- brid proceedings.

Regardless of the cause, one point is largely undisputed: The current pace of hearings has not

results in a serious intolerance to red meat that sets in months after a tick bite. The reaction comes from a carbohydrate found in ticks that is foreign to humans, according to Emily Ow- ens Pickle, an assistant professor of epidemiology, biostatistics and environmental health in the Joint School of Public Health at Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University.

“[People are] mounting this allergic response to a carbohy- drate — which is really weird, right? Not like a peanut allergy or a protein allergy that we usually see. So we don’t know a lot about how it works,” Pickle said. “Some- one might be bit and not know it, right?

“The tick feeds and falls off. They don’t get sick, right? ‘I’m in the clear.’ Then three months later, they have a hamburger, and they have severe abdominal pain, and they’re not breaking out in hives, but maybe they’re throw- ing up, and this is happening in the middle of the night.”

Virginia is home to many ticks thanks to migration across the Mid-Atlantic region and an abun- dance of white-tailed deer, Gaff said. Ticks also like humidity.

“They’re both really scrappy species, and so ecologically, it’s like this perfect storm for creat- ing a habitat for them,” Pickle said.

Proper tick prevention in- cludes wearing light-colored clothing so that ticks are easier to spot, tucking pants into socks, spraying tick repellent with per- methrin and using tick control medications for pets. To remove ticks, researchers say to use clean, fine-tipped tweezers or a tick-removal spoon to grip the tick’s head and apply steady, upward pressure to pull straight up.

kept up with the number of cases entering the system.

What the cases involve

According to the Baltimore City Police Accountability Board’s annual report, the de- partment received 1,102 miscon- duct complaints during fiscal 2025.

When the Baltimore Sun asked the city’s Office of Equity and Civil Rights for a list of the names of Baltimore police officers who received complaints in fiscal 2025, the office shared a list of 697 incidents. The list named 497 officers, with some officers re- ceiving upwards of four com- plaints.

Those complaints can range from administrative violations — such as failing to activate a body-worn camera or reporting late for duty — to excessive force allegations and criminal miscon-

Virginia Beach man found guilty of sexually abusing adopted children

BY NORI LEYBENGRUB

A Virginia Beach jury found a foster father guilty of sexually abusing and raping his elementa- ry school-age adopted children over the course of several years.

Jurors in the four-day trial against Doyal Richard George, 67, in Virginia Beach Circuit Court heard from his adopted daugh- ters that he forcefully sodomized, sexually assaulted and raped them in their home.

The women, now in their 20s and 30s, testified for several hours about the abuse that began when they were as young as 4.

After more than five hours of deliberation, the jury convicted George of a total of 12 counts, including rape and aggravated sexual battery of a victim under the age of 13 and ages 13 to 17, forcible sodomy of a victim under the age of 13 and ages 13 to 17, and custodial indecent liberties.

George and his wife, Cecilia George, hosted more than 40 foster children in their home outside Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek Fort-Story beginning in 1989. George is a retired ser- vice member who owns several rental properties, and his wife was a homemaker.

Nadeau said internal audits show that most allegations in- volve relatively minor violations. About 73 percent of complaints filed in 2023 and 2024 involved offenses that carry penalties of fewer than five days’ suspension, he said. That figure increased to 84 percent in 2025, he said.

In Maryland, violations that carry a penalty of more than five days’ suspension include conduct that interferes with police opera- tions, harms the department’s professional image, violates de- partment policy, or poses a seri- ous risk to other officers or public safety. The data shows more than three-fourths of Baltimore’s com- plaints don’t fall into that catego- ry.

Knowledge of what the com- plaints are, Nadeau said, allows the department to correct behav- ior, sometimes through addition-

The children often worked to- gether on the Georges’ property, where they maintained a family farm.

Several of the children told Cecelia George about the abuse. But according to court testimony, she often defended her husband and accused the girls of lying. As the girls grew older, they said their mother tried to minimize the time they spent with their father without supervision.

Over the years, many of the children hid their experiences of abuse from police and social workers.

Cecelia and Richard George told their children that what happens in the family stays in the family, and according to prosecu- tors, they physically and emo- tionally intimidated their chil- dren into staying quiet.

“This is the only family they ever had,” said Assistant Com- monwealth’s Attorney Megan Lang. “They didn’t want to lose that.”

George denied the accounts of his adopted daughters. His attor- ney, Cole Roberts, showed jurors photos of the family celebrating Halloween, birthdays and gradu- ations.

Roberts argued that the sis- ters’ statements were inconsis-

al training.

Still, some researchers caution that minor complaints should not be dismissed.

Brunson said everyday com- plaints involving discourtesy, dis- respect or procedural violations often shape how residents judge police legitimacy.

Those “day-to-day indignities,” he said, can have a profound effect on whether the public views officers as a legitimate moral authority.

Can the backlog be fixed?

Officials broadly agree that the backlog can be reduced. But they disagree on what it will take to do so.

The city has already begun increasing the pace of hearings. Salsbury said Baltimore complet- ed 60 trial boards during the first six months of 2026, compared with just 20 during all of 2025. He said he expects that pace to continue to ramp up as partici- pants become more familiar with the process.

But city officials and account- ability advocates say simply hold- ing more hearings may not be enough.

Nadeau is urging lawmakers to amend Maryland law to allow officers and the department to negotiate discipline before cases automatically proceed to trial boards, a change he believes would substantially reduce the number of hearings required.

He said this is a problem that other jurisdictions are facing, adding that Baltimore’s depart- ment has a higher backlog due to the department’s larger size.

Turner argues the state should instead dedicate administrative law judges to high-volume police cases and expand the use of virtual and hybrid hearings to make scheduling easier.

Brunson said reducing proce- dural barriers could help pro- duce swifter and fairer outcomes without sacrificing accountabili- ty.

For now, however, Baltimore continues to add new cases faster than it can resolve old ones. More than 800 misconduct cases re- main pending, and city officials hope lawmakers will revisit the issue when the General Assembly reconvenes next year.

tent with reports they had made in the past, as well as the ac- counts of other family members in the home, suggesting the abuse never happened.

Several of the children told authorities in the police depart- ment and Child Protective Servic- es about the abuse in 2017, 2020 and in 2022. However, they downplayed their experiences and struggled to tell investigators the whole truth because they feared being separated from one another and being placed into group homes, according to their testimony.

In 2022, George was charged in Virginia Beach Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court with sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and taking inde- cent liberties with a child while in a custodial role — but prosecu- tors dropped the charges after the women were not ready to testify.

In 2026, according to testimo- ny, a few of the women had reached a point where they felt they could confront their father with what he had done to them.

“Fear kept the secret, and the truth broke it,” Lang said. “Their silence became survival for them, and they finally chose to come forward and break it.”

An artist envisioned this Dupont Circle park — 60 years ago

DECKOVER from B13

worked on a local community advisory group, walked into his building one day around 15 years ago to use his copy machine.

Feldstein looked at Spandorf’s rendering and said, “Let’s do it,” Kain recalled.

“Are you serious?” he asked Feldstein at the time.

Soon after, he found himself in a meeting with the District De- partment of Transportation, pitching a dozen employees on what would become the deckover project.

Spandorf died in 2000; Feld- stein died in 2016.

DDOT expects the park to open in 2027.

The deckover will cover the underpass between Dupont Cir- cle and Q Street NW, adding a pedestrian-friendly plaza that the Dupont Circle Business Improve- ment District (BID) plans to use for public events. It’s projected to cost $37.8 million, according to the BID.

In July, the project reached a major milestone: the completion of a web of steel beams that will support the bustling park.

Since the underpass will re- main in place, vehicles will still be able to drive under the circle going north and south on Con- necticut Avenue. The plaza will need a large hole with mesh for ventilation, according to the BID. The deckover work is being paired with a streetscaping proj- ect to add bike lines and upgrade sidewalks.

The park is not meant to re- place the use of Dupont Circle, its lush, historic neighbor. Rather, they will “flow into each other” and have different purposes, said Jeff Rueckgauer, a representative on the local Advisory Neighbor- hood Commission (ANC) for the area. The new plaza will be owned and maintained by the city, which will allow the BID and nonprofit Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets to sell alcohol and permit vendors, unlike the neigh- boring federally owned circle.

It will be used for the D.C. Holiday Market, flower markets and a potential extension of the popular Sunday farmers market. The groups also plan to host movie nights, concerts and other

Spanberger ‘bullish’ on Democratic Party’s chances in the general election

ELECTION from B13 party challenges but will be on defense in the fall.

lenges for the candidates, who had to stay in the primary season longer than usual and in some cases take their messages to dif- ferent communities, Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger recently told reporters. But Spanberger, a former member of Congress who represented swing districts, said she remained “bullish” on her party’s chances in the general election and hopeful that as many as four seats could flip in Virgin- ia.

“The biggest point of conster- nation that I have is, I think that along the way, people … incor- rectly took the message that we couldn’t win without redistrict- ing. We can win. I believe we will win,” she said.

Virginia Dems hope to put GOP incumbents on defense

Virginia is currently represent- ed in the U.S. House by six Demo- crats and five Republicans, all of whom are seeking reelection this year. Democrats who are less optimistic than Spanberger hope to flip at least two seats, contrib- uting to their party’s effort to take control of the House for the second half of President Donald Trump’s term.

There are crowded Democratic primaries in two of the most competitive seats, where Repub- lican incumbents Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman avoided intra-

“In Italy and France, you see these plazas that have a lot of outdoor tables and seating, and then you have a music exhibit and art vendors,” said Patrick Kain, Michael’s son and the president of Kain and Associates. “And Du- pont Circle is such an interna- tional neighborhood, I think it’s a

Elsewhere, two incumbents, Democratic Rep. Don Beyer and Republican Rep. John McGuire, face primary challenges but have far outraised their opponents.

Republicans also were picking their nominee for what will be an uphill challenge against Sen. Mark Warner.

Democrats focus on trying to flip two key House seats

Two of Virginia’s congressio- nal districts are among Demo- crats’ top targets for retaking control of the House. The coastal 2nd District, with its population center in Virginia Beach, is a must-win for the party. The slightly more Republican-lean- ing 1st District has about half its population in the Richmond sub- urbs and the other half in more rural counties stretching north and west.

In the 2nd District, former congresswoman Elaine Luria is seen as the favorite in the four- way Democratic primary field. It also includes physician Nila De- vanath, who sought to define herself as the progressive voice in the race, along with scientist and veteran Bill Fleming, and Patrick Mosolf, a former humanitarian aid worker.

Luria, who is backed by the House Democrats’ campaign arm and has far outraised her oppo- nents, is a retired Navy com- mander who was elected to the

Around a decade ago, Dupont Circle “kind of lost its flair,” Pat- rick Kain said — residents moved to newer neighborhoods around 14th Street or Union Market. The area he once saw as “cool and edgy” had been replaced by new- er development. Nightlife estab- lishments fled.

“So our idea was that we could really bring a lot of the vibe back by having a project like this,” he said.

House in 2018 and served two terms before being ousted by Kiggans, a former Navy helicop- ter pilot.

The 1st District features a crowded seven-way primary, but most observers see a front-run- ner in Shannon Taylor, who has served as the elected prosecutor in suburban Richmond’s Henrico County for 14 years.

Taylor also has the backing of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and a mas- sive fundraising advantage, though she has faced sharp criti- cism from her opponents, includ- ing Salaam Bhatti, an attorney.

The race also includes several military veterans — Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs, Jason Knapp and Mel Tull — along with envi- ronmental advocate Tim Cywins- ki and attorney Ericka Kopp.

Two incumbents try to beat back primary challengers

Only two of Virginia’s 11 House incumbents face a primary chal- lenge.

In central Virginia’s 5th Dis- trict, Trump-endorsed McGuire, a former Navy SEAL and state law- maker, faces veteran Melanie Lu- cero, whom McGuire has far out- raised.

In Northern Virginia’s over- whelmingly blue 8th District sur- rounding Washington, incum- bent Rep. Don Beyer faces four challengers for the nomination as he seeks a seventh term.

The Dupont Circle BID was founded eight years ago, in large part to support the deckover proj- ect. Patrick Kain hoped it would help attract businesses back to Connecticut Avenue, which even then had many empty store- fronts. The pandemic further worsened conditions, according to business owners.

er said, lobbying city government officials and local business own- ers. After a design process that involved the creator of New York City’s Bryant Park, public meet- ings and pandemic delays, DDOT broke ground on the project in 2025. It estimates it could finish the project as soon as the end of this year, ahead of schedule.

“There’s no trade-off,” said Ja- son Goldman, the BID’s market- ing manager. “Nobody gets dis- placed. We are covering up a

three-way statewide contest to pick the Republican nominee to challenge Democratic Sen. Mark Warner, a well-known former governor who was first elected to the Senate in 2008 and currently serves as the ranking Democrat on the chamber’s Intelligence Committee.

Defeating Warner would be an enormous challenge, and the race is not among those seen as a

literal hole where there used to be nothing at all.”

The deckover and streetscape projects faced initial opposition from resident groups because they have caused road closures and detours. In April, several business owners went before the D.C. Council to ask for grants to support the loss of business due to decreased foot traffic. Mihye Yoon, the district manager for neighboring Bibibop Asian Grill, said the restaurant saw a 31 per- cent drop in revenue and custom- er count from the first quarter of last year.

“This is not a slowdown,” she wrote in her testimony. “This is a crisis.”

Caitrine Callison, owner of consignment shop Secondi, has been in Dupont Circle for 40 years. She said she hopes the payoff of attracting neighbor- hood visitors is worth the tempo- rary pain of construction.

“I am aware that things will be better and that Dupont Circle will be the gracious place it once was,” she said. “But it looks pretty much like hell right now with the streets torn up. I’m glad I have four-wheel drive.”

But according to Rueckgauer, his constituents are almost uni- formly enthusiastic about the project and its potential to in- crease foot traffic throughout the neighborhood. The business group and the Advisory Neigh- borhood Commission are still ac- tively seeking public input on how the plaza should be used and what events should be held there.

“It’s the idea of getting the community involved in it since it is the community space,” Rueck- gauer said. “It will succeed or fail based on what the community does with it.”

In that way, the current project is not far from its decades-old roots.

Spandorf worked as a “dead- line artist” conjuring sketches and paintings to illustrate break- ing news stories and features about the city for various local publications — including The Washington Post. In her obituary published in the paper in 2000, she was noted as “making art out of the obvious.”

“Lily Spandorf,” Michael Kain said. “This would blow her mind.”

battleground that will determine control of the Senate.

The GOP contenders are: Kim Farington, an accountant who has touted her work over decades in the federal government; Bert Mizusawa, a decorated retired Army major general; and David Williams, a Marine Corps reserv- ist.

Philip Ateto, 48

Annapolis activist was a ‘moral compass’ to his friends and community

BY SANYA WASON

Capital Gazette

Local activist and Annapolis resident Philip Ateto died at age 48 at Luminis Health Anne Arun- del Medical Center last month after a decade-long fight with multiple myeloma, a bone mar- row cancer.

Two GoFundMe pages had raised a combined $53,500 for his treatment over the past six years.

Mr. Ateto, known for his kind- ness and patience, graduated from Virginia Tech in 2000 with a degree in international studies. He was part of a peaceful protest organization called the Backbone Campaign and often contributed to light projections of political dissent.

James Boxley Cooke — an ac- complished pilot, pianist, sailor and stockbroker — died last month of natural causes at his residence at Blakehurst Senior Living in Towson. The former ex- ecutive at T. Rowe Price was 89.

Affable and easygoing, Mr. Cooke’s demeanor belied an ad- venturous streak.

Goldfield, a Washington, D.C., artist and activist, met Mr. Ateto in 2013. She said she instantly felt as though she had known him forever.

She told the Capital Gazette his loving and welcoming nature helped bring local communities together at a tough time, particu- larly during the coronavirus pan- demic.

“He was loyal, kind, forgiving and welcoming in a time where so many were setting up barriers and walls,” she said.

Goldfield said Mr. Ateto in- spired her to keep fighting for a better world for her 4-year-old son. “Uncle Phil” quickly became an important figure in her son’s life, as Goldfield would refer to Mr. Ateto as her brother.

“He left everything behind with this community,” she said through tears. “He always re- minded me of who I want to be as a person and the world I want to build.”

Bill Moyer, executive director of the Backbone Campaign, said Mr. Ateto was known in the Seat- tle-based group as “Backbone East,” becoming the campaign’s unofficial East Coast correspon- dent. In 2019, the organization honored him for his fearlessness and dedication to social justice, Moyer said.

“It’s one thing to be an activist who just screams and makes a lot of noise, but it is a totally different thing to be a community organiz- er who builds leadership and power,” Moyer added. “He was an activist that took on the best attri- butes of a community organizer.”

Mr. Ateto also participated in

“He wasn’t a cutthroat, Wall Street kind of guy,” she said. “My father was down-to-earth, socia- ble and just liked doing what he did. People said he could sell bro- ken vacuum cleaners if he want- ed.”

After retirement, Mr. Cooke worked for several nonprofits, counseling young Baltimore resi- dents on how to prepare for job interviews. He also headed a Maryland program in which he introduced underserved youths to careers in aviation, taking them on short flights in hopes of inspir-

Anne Arundel politics. In 2022, the County Council was working on a police accountability bill, one that he felt further harmed mar- ginalized communities.

Mr. Ateto showed up to a coun- cil meeting to testify against the bill in a poop emoji costume, saying the lawmakers “created a turd of a bill.” He then released a gas bomb in the suit, leading council members to evacuate the chambers as a precaution. Mr. Ateto was charged with disorder- ly conduct and placed on proba- tion for a year.

Lisa Mundy, a longtime friend of Mr. Ateto, always smiles at what she called a humorous and powerful way to stand up for his community.

“He gave me a moral compass. He was always the person I’d call when I needed to work through an issue or brainstorm,” she said.

Another pastime was sailing. Weekends often found him cruis- ing the Chesapeake Bay in his 1966 Boston Whaler, which he named “Still Here” to honor a loved one. Years ago, Guth said, “Whenever Dad called his own father and asked, ‘How are you doing?,’ he’d say, ‘Still here.’”

Flying and sailing were cathar- tic for Mr. Cooke, his daughter said: “He found peace in that — and in playing piano. When he worked as a broker, he would come home, sit down at his old upright Baldwin, and play songs like ‘Over the Rainbow,’ ‘Yester- day’ and ‘Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby.’ It calmed him down.”

Mundy said Mr. Ateto’s sense of humor bled into his work as both an activist and a youth group leader. She said he always listened to the children at the church and knew how to make them feel safe.

“A space is going to be left that Phil stepped into every day of his life,” said William Rowel, a friend of both Mr. Ateto and Mundy. “Phil had the ability, despite deal- ing with cancer for over a decade, to take care of others. He was a remarkable person, and I admire him dearly.”

Rowel recalled the time Mr. Ateto was a groomsman in his wedding and connected with ev- erybody in the room.

“Phil really enjoyed bringing people together. He made room for everyone,” Rowel said. “He will be missed more than any of us could probably describe.”

Mr. Cooke played by ear and loved jazz and the blues, especial- ly works by artists such as saxo- phonist Stan Getz and pianist Oscar Peterson. Known as “Box- ley” to his friends, Mr. Cooke fre- quented jazz clubs in Baltimore, kibitzed with the musicians and sometimes played piano during their breaks. Once, after a Dizzy Gillespie concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, he met the famous trumpeter backstage.

privacy.

“We are all very proud of Phil- ip’s life choices and accomplish- ments. We are convinced that, through his courage, his actions and his commitment, he did his part to change the world for the better,” they said in a statement.

Mr. Ateto was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, and attended Glen Burnie High School. For the great- er part of his life, Mr. Ateto lived in Annapolis and did freelance work in Baltimore.

Mr. Ateto is survived by “his wife, Jessica, who supported him faithfully throughout his ordeal; by his parents, Frederick and Fran Ateto; by his sister, Natalie Eding- ton; by his beloved nieces, Kara and Sophia; by his cherished cats; and by countless friends who formed a strong support network and always brought him much joy,” according to his family.

Predeceased by his wife of 63 years, Jane Claire Cooke, he is survived by his daughter, Guth, of Owings Mills; sons James Boxley Cooke Jr., of Towson, and Douglas Reid Cooke, of Frederick; six grandchildren; and three great- grandchildren.

On Aug. 11, the family will have visitation for friends and relatives from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Mitchell- Wiedefeld Funeral Home, 6500 York Road in Towson. A service will be held Aug. 12 at 11 a.m. in the chapel at the Church of the Redeemer, 5603 N. Charles St. in Baltimore, with a reception to follow. Donations in Mr. Cooke’s memory may be made to the Church of the Redeemer.

In 1990, Rick was appointed by President George H.W. Bush as assistant secretary of energy for defense programs. In this po- sition, he was responsible for the design, development, production, testing, and main- tenance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stock- pile. This latter position included oversight of the National Laboratories at Los Alamos, Livermore, and Sandia and the performance of nuclear weapons testing at the Nevada Test Site, the last such test having occurred, during his tenure, in September 1992. Prior to reporting to Admiral Rickover, Rick served at sea in the aircraft carrier Leyte, which provided air support to U. S. ground forces fighting in Korea. For this action in the Korean War, Leyte was awarded the Presi- dential Unit Citation. Later he commanded a minesweeper in the Atlantic fleet. Following these tours at sea, he attended the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, where he re- ceived graduate degrees in naval architec- ture and marine engineering in 1956.

Rick’s outside interests included camping and backpacking around the country with family and friends and traveling worldwide with his late wife, Lee. More recently, he spent several weeks a year with his wife, Mary Louise, relaxing on beaches in North Carolina and Florida. He engaged in volun- teer work for the Boy Scouts, the Episcopal Church, and mentoring of special educa- tion students at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville. Rick is survived by his current wife, Mary Louise Kilmer Mahood, three children by his first wife, Gale McKinley (Rex) of Lynch- burg VA, Douglas Claytor (Michele) of Fred- erick MD and Richard Claytor, Jr. (Donna) of Sandwich, MA; three grandchildren, Steven McKinley (Imelda), Ellie Gonzalez (Ryan), Hannah Claytor and two great grandchil- dren, Jonah and Talia Gonzalez. He is also survived by three stepdaughters, Kate Ma- hood (Victor Rodriquez), Sara Hampton (Da- vid), Beth Mahood (Stewart Andrews) and two step-grandchildren, Hanna and Duncan.

In addition to his parents, Rick was preced- ed in death by his brothers, William Graham Claytor, Jr. and Robert B. Claytor.

Bill married the love of his life, Carolyn (Mc- Cann), on June 9, 1961. He was also affec- tionately known as “Pop Pop” by friends and family. He loved fishing, hunting, and trapping while growing up in Rhode Island, and he passed his love of fishing to his son, Bill. Bill and Carolyn also loved the Red Sox and Celtics, rarely missing a game. Often, at home, you would find them reading a book with sports on the TV in the background. Their love of sports extended to cheering on their sons, Bill and Tim, as well as their grandson, Billy, in their schools, athletics and other activities. They were equally passion- ate about sharing their love of the beach, taking an annual family trip to the Outer Banks, North Carolina, where they always welcomed family and friends to join them.

Mr. Neill also served on the board of the Barker Founda- tion and was a longtime member of Colum- bia Country Club.

Above all, Denis treasured his family. Kathy was his beloved partner of 60 years, and he was devoted to her and to the life they built together.

He especially enjoyed playing his own version of poker with his granddaugh- ters, handing out $2 bills to the winners, and often to everyone else he encountered as well. Guided throughout his life by his strong Catholic faith and his love of family, he was a source of love and generosity to all who knew him.

Mr. Neill is survived by his wife, Mary Kath- leen (Golden) Neill; his son, Mark Neill of Lake Worth, Florida, and Mark’s daughters, Sarah, Ailani, Emma, and Charlotte; and his daugh- ter, Erin Neill, her husband, Lee Emmert, and their daughter, Poppy, of Bethesda, Maryland.

NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE SALE, made this Seventeenth day of July, 2026, by Richard A. Lash, Foreclosure Commissioner:

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the “Secretary” or “HUD”) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and

WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust due to violation of (a)(iii): The Property ceases to be the principal residence of a Borrower for reasons other than death and the Property is not the principal residence of at least one other Borrower; and

WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent as of July 6, 2026 is $329,839.28; and

WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of Buonassissi, Henning & Lash, P.C. as Foreclosure Commissioner, notice is hereby given that on August 18, 2026 at 10:00 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder:

Commonly known as:

The Land referred to herein below is situated in the County of ANNE ARUNDEL, State of Maryland, and is described as follows:

BEING KNOWN AND DESIGNATED as Lot No. 81, Block 4, as shown on Plats entitled, “Revised Plat of Section 1, Stoneybrooke Village”, which Plats are recorded among the Land Records of Anne Arundel County as Plat Nos. 4570, 4571 and 4572 in Plat Book 87, Folio 45, Plat Book 87, Folio 46 and Plat Book 87, Folio 47, respectively.

For informational purposes only: The improvements thereon being known as 1232 Holmespun Dr Tax ID No.: 03-768-90008199

BEING the same property conveyed to Troy L. Mullins and Agnes R. Mullins by virtue of a Deed from Scott A. Ford, dated December 17, 1999 and recorded February 3, 2000, among the Land Records of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, in Liber 9615, folio 513.

The said Troy L. Mullins departed this life on or about January 8, 2012 thereby vesting title in Agnes R. Mullins as surviving tenant by the entirety.

The sale will be held at the front of the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County, 8 Church Circle, Annapolis, Maryland.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $336,804.85.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit 10% of the successful bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the successful bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $329,839.28 as of July 6, 2026, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Date: July 17, 2026

The most buzz-worthy

bottles of iced co≠ee

Out of 10 top-selling brands, we found plenty of watery, wan options — and one winner

see TASTE TEST on E5 E

ven if you like to start your day with a steaming mug of coffee, sometimes the weather demands something more refreshing. Whether you’re a warm-weather sipper or a year-round devotee, iced-coffee drinkers have a growing number of options. ¶ You can certainly make it at home. But bottled options can save time — and they still cost less than individual cups at the coffee shop. ¶ To help you figure out which bottle on the grocery store shelf has the best buzz, we conducted a blind taste test of popular, widely available brands.

The 10 brands we sampled, roughly from left: La Colombe, Califia Farms, Target’s Good & Gather, Aldi’s Barissimo,

Bizzy, Trader Joe’s, Walmart’s Bettergoods, Stok, Cafe Bustelo and, in the foreground, Starbucks.

Sometimes

the best fuel for a road trip is fast food

Burgers, cheese curds,

shakes and more: Our favorite

quick eats for long drives

So many summer vacations involve road trips, and road trips require fuel — but not just for the vehicle.

We’d all love to be the kind of people who pack fabulous homemade meals to make whatever journey we’re embarking on a civilized one. But let’s face it, the trunk is often too full for a cooler, and if your pretrip situation is anything like mine, you’re probably so busy finishing a load of laundry or desperately searching for an errant bathing suit that you can’t muster the energy.

That’s where fast food comes in. It fulfills the most basic needs of your traveling party: It’s fast. It’s food. Even people who don’t usually frequent a drive-through might find themselves at the mercy of roadside offerings.

For those of us who might find our- selves eyeing the options at 65 mph, we asked the staff of The Washington Post for their recommendations. Some come from national chains, others are regional options. A couple are even healthy-ish.

Here are the quick bites we’re braking for this summer:

Taco Bell cheesy bean and rice burrito

Taco Bell offers an alternative to the ubiquity of highway-side burgers, and if I simply must make a run for the border, I’m almost always going to opt for this simple, meatless guy. The blend of rice, beans, nacho cheese and a hint of jalape- ño sauce is a bargain at less than $2, and it somehow doesn’t leave me craving a nap in the passenger seat afterward. I usually upgrade with an addition of pico de gallo, but I’ll probably be skipping that step this summer. Add a squirt of fire sauce, and it will stave off the hangry long enough to allow me to compromise on which mur- der podcast we’re going to listen to next.

Cook Out chicken wrap

Let’s get one thing straight: Cook Out is not my choice because it has the best fast food. That, obviously, is Popeyes. Cook Out can’t be bothered with such trivial matters, because the paradigm-shifting roadside stop is far too busy bending reality. For the uninitiated, the North Carolina-based chain asks a simple ques- tion: Why is our understanding of a side

Elevate three-bean salad with a layered approach

I’ve noticed a trend in food plating popping up everywhere lately — at the hottest new restaurants, in viral social media videos and in celebrated new cookbooks.

Ellie Krieger

It’s a layered approach where a creamy base, such as a bean dip or whipped feta or tofu, is first spread luxuriously onto a plate. It’s followed by a medley of dressed vegetables, a salad or a saucy stir-fry, for example, that gets piled high, then crowned with fresh

dish so limited? You choose your entrée from items including a burger, two hot dogs or two quesa- dillas. Then you choose your side from such items as a bacon wrap, a corn dog or one quesadilla. On your first visit, your brain will melt trying to understand this. It’s impossible to recommend a dish, as your perfect combination comes from some deep beautiful part of your soul, but you can’t go wrong getting an entire chicken wrap as a side dish.

Royal Farms fried chicken and biscuit

I was introduced to the joy of the road trip Royal Farms chicken and biscuit order several sum- mers ago by an old friend during a three-hour drive to a favorite beach spot, Assateague Island, and quickly discovered this box of golden deliciousness will keep you so full for hours that you can stick to snacks for the rest of the day. The crispiness! The chicken piece options! The sauces! Noth- ing screams driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge quite like it. Gas station touch-order meals aren’t foreign to me — I grew up a Sheetz girl — but as an adult I tend to favor healthier meals. Royal Farms has brought me back to my childhood, when I had the constitution to withstand such chain indulgences. Plus, I am a firm believer that the calories do not count when you’re on a road trip: The body knows this is a special occasion.

P. Terry’s veggie burger

I first had a P. Terry’s veggie burger in 2017, a time when our meatless burger technology hadn’t progressed much, so I was completely unprepared for how wildly delicious that first bite was. The blend of brown rice, cremini mushrooms and black beans makes this patty the king of veggie burgers. It’s served on a warm bun with a melty slice of cheese, let- tuce, tomato and special sauce — for $4.85! — so you can see why I can’t visit Austin without stop- ping by this hometown fast-food delicacy.

McDonald’s egg and cheese biscuit sandwich

The Golden Arches’ other sand- wiches — your Big Macs, McMuf- fins, McGriddles, what have you — tend to get more attention, but I’m here to make a case for this no-frills breakfast option that manages to be both restrained, especially compared to some of

herbs and/or something crunchy, such as nuts, seeds or crispy onions. It’s a tiered serving style that gives a fresh, modern vibe to a dish, elevating the food both literally and figuratively.

Thinking this approach could bring new light to even the stodgiest staples, I gave it a spin with a classic three-bean salad, and I’m thrilled with how well it worked.

I used a food processor to whip one of the bean trio — cannellini beans — into a creamy dip, with lemon, garlic, olive oil and salt. I spread that onto a serving platter, then heaped it with a salad of blanched green

the chain’s other gimmicks, and substantive. The buttermilk bis- cuit is warm and salty, soft enough to be pleasant to eat but sturdy enough to not crumble under the weight of the folded egg and melty American cheese. At just about $4, it’s an affordable, enjoyable morning meal to grab on your way out of town.

Publix deli grab-and-go Greek salad

At some point during long road trips between D.C. and South Florida, I start to crave salad. I need something that feels fresh

beans, red kidney beans, onion and celery, all dressed in the familiar, sweet-tangy dressing that was sweetened with honey rather than refined sugar. For a finishing flourish, I sprinkled ribbons of fresh basil on top.

The resulting salad is a stunning upgrade, with all the essential flavors of the summer favorite, refreshed with a layer of crave-able, creamy texture and a contemporary sense of style.

and zesty, salvation for my chick- en-nugget-blasted taste buds. Luckily, the majority of those drives are near a Publix grocery store, where I head straight for the deli. I like most of the grab- and-go salad options: Can’t go wrong with the Southern Cobb or strawberry and glazed pecan. But I’m usually going for the Greek option, full of chickpeas, feta, Kal- amata olives, tomatoes, cucum- ber, pepperoncini and red wine vinegar. (I put the onions aside; I’ve got hours in the car and I’m not a monster.) Yes, Pub subs are iconic. But those sandwich lines can be long — and on the road,

fast, light and crispy is the way.

Starbucks spinach, feta and egg white wrap

My mom and I are what you might call “high-maintenance” eaters. So, across years of frac- tious family road trips, my father and my husband have learned there’s exactly one place they can stop for breakfast to minimize the chance of later, hangry recrimina- tions: Starbucks. The chain’s spin- ach, feta and egg white wrap somehow checks every box on my and my mother’s lengthy list. It’s healthy (spinach! egg whites! pro- tein!); it’s low-calorie (just 290, if, like us, you count while pretend- ing not to); it’s actually extremely satisfying (filling and delicious); and it’s widely available — grab yours at any of the gazillion Star- bucks that punctuate the high- ways stretching sea to shining sea.

Layered Three-Bean Salad

4 to 8 servings (makes 6 cups)

This recipe levels up the famous three-bean salad by turning one of the trio — the white beans — into a creamy, lemony dip. Spread that onto a platter as the base layer, then pile a sweet, tangy and crisp salad of green beans, kidney beans, celery and onion on top. Crown with ribbons of basil for a fresh, elevated take on a familiar favorite. Serve as a side dish or vegetarian main course.

Storage: Refrigerate the green bean mixture and white bean puree separately for up to 3 days. Refrigerate any remaining dressing for up to 1 week.

Active time: 45 mins; Total time: 1 hour From cookbook author and registered dietitian nutritionist Ellie Krieger.

Whataburger with jalapeños

If you happen to be road-trip- ping through Texas, you must stop and experience the culinary delight that is Whataburger. My go-to order at the chain is a Whataburger with jalapeños and a diet Dr Pepper. The Whataburg- er is a basic burger with pickles, onions, lettuce and tomatoes, but in my opinion, it tastes fresher and more homemade than your average fast-food burger. If you aren’t that hungry, you can get the Whataburger Jr., the smaller ver- sion of the basic burger. (Whataburger’s taquitos are also pretty delightful.)

Culver’s cheese curds

teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Add the green beans, kidney beans, celery and onion, and toss to combine. Allow to marinate in the dressing for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate in an airtight container until needed.

l In a food processor, combine

the cannellini beans, the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, the lemon zest and juice, the garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and process until smooth and creamy. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate until needed.

l To assemble the salad, spread

the white bean puree on a large serving platter. Use a slotted spoon to distribute the green bean mixture on top of the bean puree, and drizzle with as much of the dressing from the bottom of the bowl as you like. Serve any remaining dressing on the side or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Sprinkle the basil on top of the salad and serve.

consumed a cheese curd? It’s the question I’m often asking myself as I pop these morsels into my mouth and long stretches of farm- land pass by the window. While there are now Culver’s through- out the Midwest, there are strict standards in our family that this specialty can only be consumed in its birthplace of Wisconsin. The fried curds, as God intended them to be consumed, are portable, always hot and also enjoyed by the dogs usually sitting next to me in the back seat.

In-N-Out milkshake

Is In-N-Out overrated? Yes. (Don’t get me started on the chain’s “secret” menu hype.) But as a native Californian who grew up on the state’s many farm- flanked freeways, I will defend the quicksand-thick delight that is an In-N-Out milkshake. It’s a reliable road trip treat no matter what flavor you pick (chocolate, straw- berry, vanilla — or mix a few to create a combo), and tastes far more luxurious than the $4 price tag.

Dairy Queen peanut brittle crunch cone

There’s a question that rarely goes unanswered in my Minneso- tan family: “Should we pay our respects to the Queen?” My pick is always the crunch cone — a sim- ple vanilla cone coated in a crunchy layer of peanut and toffee brittle mixed with sprinkles. It’s the perfect combination of salty and sweet, and you can eat it one-handed while rolling through Midwestern cornfields and prai- ries. Don’t be discouraged if it’s not technically on the menu. If they’re all out, my backup DQ order is a Butterfinger and Heath blizzard.

Dunkin’ iced coffee

Seasoned traveling compan- ions with larger bladders than yours will caution you about drinking too many liquids before a road trip. I am of the firm opinion, however, that driving through the Northeast without a sickly sweet Dunkin’ iced coffee in your cupholder is like flying with- out a passport. No one could ar- gue that the Massachusetts-based brand has the best coffee. It’s more akin to jet fuel: the requisite propellant to get you from Point A to Point B. Pair it with a doughnut. (It’s not a road trip if you don’t arrive without a stomachache.) The best part is that, when you inevitably need a bathroom break in a couple of hours, you can stop at another Dunkin’ and replenish.

Power your morning commute with protein-packed tea eggs

BY MEGAN ZHANG

Back when I was in college and would visit my parents in California during school breaks, my mom often sent me on the flight back to New York with a small cooler bag. In it were usually ice packs, cut fruit and a big bag of soy-infused, amber-streaked tea eggs.

I think of tea eggs as the quintessential commuter’s breakfast in China. Vats of them, kept warm over a low flame, are a regular sight at street stalls, convenience stores and train stations all over the country. If you’re commuting anywhere in the morning, there’s a pretty good chance someone in your vicinity is scarf- ing one down, or has one stashed in their bag for later.

To make tea eggs, all you do is sim- mer eggs in a broth of black tea, soy sauce and a medley of aromatics, includ- ing cinnamon, star anise and bay leaves — which means the eggs come out ­thoroughly seasoned, ready to grab on the way to work or even for a cross- country flight when you want a pack- able snack with protein (though ice is always a smart measure for longer jour- neys).

Every vendor and household has their own preferred seasoning ratio of soy sauce and aromatics for the marinade. My family tends to enjoy a soy-forward egg, and over the years, we’ve also adapt- ed our method to guarantee a jammier yolk.

produce a firmer yolk, which can veer into chalky territory.

Growing up in the United States, I’ve long enjoyed a tender yolk, and after three decades here, my parents’ palates, too, have grown fond of the jammy texture often prized in American and European egg preparations. After I intro- duced my parents to the magic of the 7-minute egg technique (a rare occasion of me teaching them anything in the kitchen), we started incorporating the method into our tea eggs. First, we

marinade to seep in. Last, we refrigerate the eggs in the seasoned broth for at least 24 and up to 48 hours. This cold-steep method requires more time for the fla- vors to penetrate, but what you get for planning ahead feels well worth the wait: that classic soy-darkened veining on the surface, and a sunny yolk cooked to your ideal doneness.

Chinese Tea Eggs

12 servings (makes 12 eggs)

A breakfast staple across China, tea eggs feel like a quintessential meal-prep hack: boiled eggs steeped in a savory liquid seasoned with soy sauce, tea leaves, ginger and star anise until the aromas deeply infuse both the whites and yolks. They’re easy to make in a big batch, and they keep well for several days for a quick, full-flavored morning bite. Tea eggs taste wonderful served with a starch, such as steamed rice, steamed buns or congee — but they’re just as tasty scarfed down over the kitchen sink when you’re in a rush.

You can cook your eggs to soft-, medi- um- or hard-boiled doneness. If you like them soft-boiled, be extra careful when cracking the eggshells so you don’t break through the white. Feel free to cook fewer eggs, if you prefer, but we don’t recom- mend reducing the marinade, to ensure there is enough to submerge them.

Make ahead: The eggs need to mari- nate for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.

Storage: Refrigerate the unpeeled eggs for up to 4 days (including marinat- ing time).

Where to buy: Dark soy sauce, which is typically thicker, sweeter and less salty than light (regular) soy sauce, can be found at Asian markets and well-stocked supermarkets.

Total time: 40 mins, plus 1 hour to cool the marinade and at least 24 hours of marinating time

From food writer Megan Zhang.

Ingredients

l 2 tablespoons loose-leaf Chinese black

tea, such as Keemun or Dianhong

l 6 cups water

l 6 tablespoons light (regular) soy sauce

l 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce (see

Where to buy and Substitutions)

Substitutions

l 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

l 1 teaspoon fine salt

l 1 teaspoon whole Sichuan peppercorns

l One (1-inch) piece fresh ginger (about

1/4 ounce), peeled and thinly sliced

l 3 bay leaves

l 1 whole star anise

l One (2-to-3-inch) cinnamon stick

l 12 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps

l Place the tea leaves in a tea infuser or

tea bag that is safe to boil, if desired. (You will be straining the marinade later.) To a large (at least 51/2-quart) stainless-steel pot or enameled Dutch oven, add the tea leaves and water, then stir in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, bay leaves, star anise and cinnamon stick. Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, strain through a fine- mesh sieve into a large, wide heatproof bowl or container and let cool completely. Discard the tea leaves and aromatics. (The container should be large enough to submerge 12 eggs later. To speed up the cooling, refrigerate the marinade for about 1 hour.)

l Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water

to a boil. Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, carefully lower the eggs into the water and set a timer: 6 minutes for runny yolks, 8 minutes for medium-set yolks or 11 minutes for fully set yolks.

l While the eggs boil, prepare an ice

bath in a large bowl.

l Using a slotted spoon, transfer the

eggs to the ice bath and let cool for about 5 minutes.

l When the marinade and eggs have

cooled, use the back of a small spoon to gently but firmly tap all over each egg, creating many small cracks across the shell without dislodging large shards or breaking the white. Submerge the eggs in the marinade, then cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours. (The flavor of the eggs will continue to deepen the longer they sit in the marinade.) Remove the eggs from the marinade (see Notes), peel and serve. (If you like, let the eggs sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.)

Notes

l Dark soy sauce >> light soy sauce, plus

add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar. You’ll likely end up with less dramatically marbled eggs, but they will still taste delicious.

l Can’t find Sichuan peppercorns? >>

Omit them.

l Avoid using a cast-iron or carbon-steel

pot or wok for this recipe, as the material could react with the tea.

l The marinade can be used one more

time: Bring it to a boil for several minutes, then remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. The flavor will be a little weaker, so taste and season with more soy sauce and spices as desired.

Nutrition | Because of the marinating, this recipe is too variable for a meaningful analysis.

A buckle bridges the gap be- tween a crumble and a coffee cake, and this recipe features raspberries for a bright pop of color and flavor. The dessert’s name comes from its “buckled” (or crumpled) surface, which happens during baking as the batter sets around the topping that weighs it down. This recipe features a center dotted with fruit, while the top sparkles with brown-sugar streusel.

6 servings

A grunt (or slump) is a dessert that can be made over a grill or campfire, and would taste fantas- tic outdoors. This one features peak-summer peaches, comple- mented by crunchy almonds, and is a joy to both make and eat.

Ingredients For the filling

l 8 medium ripe peaches

l 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated

l 1 tablespoon cornstarch

l 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon

zest (from 1 lemon)

l 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

(from the same lemon)

l 2 tablespoons water

For the dumplings

l 1/2 cup whole, unpeeled

l 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

l 3/4 cup (94 grams) all-purpose

l 2 teaspoons baking powder

l 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

l 3 tablespoons unsalted butter,

l 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) regular

or low-fat milk

l Sour cream, vanilla custard

sauce or ice cream, for serving (optional)

l Make the filling: Bring a large

pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently slide in the peaches and blanch for about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to a cutting board and let cool for a few minutes, then slip off their skins with a small paring knife. Halve, pit and slice the peaches.

l Make the batter: Butter a 9-by-

13-inch (23-by-33-cm) baking pan.

l In the bowl of a stand mixer

fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl, if using a hand mixer, combine the butter and sugar, and beat on medium-high speed until very fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs and beat on medium- high until light, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and vanilla, and continue beating until smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, and briefly beat again on medium-high to incorporate.

l In a medium bowl, whisk

together the flour, baking powder and salt until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and stir with a flexible spatula just until evenly combined.

l Using a flexible spatula, spread

a thin layer of the batter over the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle the raspberries over the batter and press them down gently with your fingers. Use a No. 60 disher or 1- tablespoon measuring spoon to drop the remaining batter over the raspberries. Dampen your fingers and then smooth the batter over the berries. (It’s okay if a few berries remain exposed.) Sprinkle the topping over the buckle. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

l Transfer to a wire rack and let

cool for 20 minutes before cutting into 12 rectangles. Serve warm, with sour cream, vanilla custard sauce or ice cream on the side, if desired.

TASTE TEST from E1 Some bottled iced coffees are pleasantly complex. Others are sad and lifeless.

The lineup: We used data from Chicago-based market research firm Circana (which gets its num- bers from grocery, drug, mass- market, convenience, military, and select club and dollar retail- ers) to identify the top-selling brands. Store brands are popular, so we included the house labels from a handful of national retail- ers for a total of 10 contenders.

We picked the “medium” roast when possible. Most were labeled cold brew, but we included two outliers: Bustelo’s “espresso- style” drink and Aldi’s store brand iced coffee.

The judging: We conducted a blind taste test in which eight of our colleagues tasted all 10 sam- ples without knowing which brands they were trying. Tasters were asked to try each sample on its own, and were given milk and simple syrup on the side to blend as they liked. Judges awarded each sample a score of 1 to 10, meaning the maximum possible score was 80.

When we tallied the results, we wound up with a tie for first place. Since we like to identify a clear winner in our taste tests, we pitted the two tying brands against each other in a blind runoff tasting with three coffee superfans as judges. That ex- plains the scoring discrepancy for the top two brands (they each had a possible high score of 110).

Here’s which brands got top billing — and which (and there were many) simply got roasted:

8. Califia Farms Cold Brew Black Coffee Unsweetened Medium Roast

Score: 10 Rarely in these taste tests does a sample get such unanimously awful reviews. But hoo boy, this brand was reviled, inspiring the kind of fervor people typically direct toward something truly offensive. It was “acrid” and “vile,” with a “bad tomato sauce taste,” according to tasters. One even came up with a gag-induc- ing metaphor: “dirt-flavored toi- let water.”

(Price: $5.69/48-ounce bottle at Giant; 12 cents/ounce)

7. Cafe Bustelo Espresso-Style Coffee, Unsweetened

Score: 21 Somebody get this brand a bottle of aloe vera, because it is burnt. Or at least its flavor is, per our panel. “Like the end of the coffee pot,” said one unimpressed judge. “Very burnt, very unpleas- ant,” another echoed. One found that even with the addition of milk, this sample — which was a bit of an outlier because, unlike most of the pack, it’s labeled “espresso-style” — was “too ag- gressive,” and another said it tast- ed like “someone put something alcoholic in it — and not in a good way.”

(Price: $6.19/40-ounce bottle at Giant; 15 cents/ounce)

6. Starbucks Cold Brew Black Unsweet

Score: 25 And it’s another charred con- testant! America’s top-selling brand lived up to the derisive moniker “Char-bucks.” “Burnt charcoal with hints of roasted beans,” as one taster put it. “Al- most burnt,” said another. Several said it seemed “flavorless,” and others found it odd that it didn’t have more aroma.

(Price: $7.29/40-ounce bottle at Giant; 18 cents/ounce)

5. La Colombe Cold Brew Medium Roast Unsweet

Score: 29 Tasters agreed that this was one of the lighter-colored sam- ples, and it had a wan flavor that matched its appearance. A couple thought it seemed “watered down.” “Tastes like water with a few grains of beans,” complained an underwhelmed judge. Overall, it seemed like people thought it was a waste of space: “Kind of tastes like nothing,” as one put it.

(Price: $6.99/48-ounce bottle at Giant; 15 cents/ounce)

(Price: $6.99/48-ounce bottle at Giant; 15 cents/ounce)

4. (three-way tie) Barissimo Iced Coffee Unsweetened Black (Aldi)

Score: 33 After Aldi’s house brand swept our mayonnaise taste test, I was curious to see how its iced coffee would perform. (I should note that Aldi does make a cold brew, but it wasn’t available in the local stores when I shopped.) Alas, this was another sample that packed slightly less of a punch than tasters were looking for. “Needs

The winner, Bizzy, delivered a depth of flavor that seemed lacking in most of its competitors. “Roastiness level is solid,” said one fan.

This bottle from Califia Farms was universally disliked in the taste test. It was “acrid” and “vile,” with a “bad tomato sauce taste,” according to tasters.

In second place came Target’s Good & Gather brand. While this pick felt like a trip to the candy store to some tasters, one judge praised its “deep taste.”

more coffee notes,” said one, and another chimed in that “no fla- vors in particular stood out.” An- other noted that it didn’t hold up to dilution: “Weak with added milk.”

(Price: $5.29/48-ounce bottle at Aldi; 11 cents/ounce)

4. (three-way tie) Bettergoods Cold Brew Coffee Unsweetened Classic Black (Walmart)

Score: 33 This sample from Walmart’s higher-end label had more oomph than some of its competi- tion, and some people thought it was a “fine” option. But it got across-the-board dings for what tasters found to be a slightly acidic note that prevented them from being all-in. “Pretty tasty but too sour, citrus-y,” said one. “Pret- ty acidic, which I tend not to like in coffee, but it still isn’t terrible,” according to another.

(Price: $4.88/48-ounce bottle at Walmart; 10 cents/ounce)

4. (three-way tie) Stok Cold Brew Coffee Un-Sweet Black Bold & Smooth

Score: 33 This brand proved divisive, earning top marks from a couple of tasters, including one daily drinker of iced coffee who crowned it her favorite of the bunch for its “delightful” sweet and caramel notes, and another fan who liked its “subtlety.” But others found it to be another barely-there whisper of a sugges- tion of a coffee.

A couple found it disconcert- ing that they couldn’t clock any aroma from this guy. “Smells like nothing, tastes kinda like noth- ing,” one said. “Is it coffee? Who’s to say!” “My first thoughts were ‘did I drink water by accident?’” complained another.

(Price: $7.29/48-ounce bottle at Giant; 15 cents/ounce)

3. Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee

Score: 45 Another brand that split the panel. Several tasters waxed en- thusiastic about its pleasantly nutty profile. “Almost a peanut butter smell,” said one, “I’m into it.” “Lots of nutty flavors and I love a nutty coffee,” another agreed. It’s “a good enough op- tion,” said one middle-of-the- road-er. But it had a couple of detractors who found it “soooouuur” and “terrible,” which dragged down its score. “Where adding milk makes even bad coffee palatable, nothing can save this,” said one of the haters.

(Price: $5.49/32-ounce bottle at Trader Joe’s; 17 cents/ounce)

2. Good & Gather Cold Brew Coffee Black Unsweetened Medium Roast (Target)

Score: 65 This brand felt like a trip to the candy store to some tasters. “Like Swiss Miss hot chocolate, but in coffee form,” said one. “Chocolat- ey and sweet,” another said.

Enough people liked it well enough that it tied for first in the initial taste test. But when we brought in the tiebreaking panel, tasters found that it fell short of its gold-medal competition. One of the three judges liked it best, praising its “deep taste.” But the other two thought it wasn’t as lively, with one calling it relative- ly “boring” and the other saying it fell “a little flat.” It’s worth noting, though, that the Good & Gather is less expensive than the No. 1 pick, so if you’re seeking a cool buzz on a budget, this could be a solid choice.

(Price: $4.39/48-ounce bottle at Target; 9 cents/ounce)

1. Bizzy Cold Brew Organic Medium Roast Unsweetened

Score: 70 While complexity isn’t some- thing most people want in, say, filing their tax returns or navigat- ing Ikea assembly instructions, it turns out it’s a plus when it comes to iced coffee. This brand deliv- ered a depth of flavor that seemed lacking in most of its competitors. “Roastiness level is solid,” said one fan. “Nice aroma right off the bat,” said another. Others dubbed it “bean-forward” and “the coffee lover’s coffee.”

Several particularly enjoyed the notes of forest they tasted. One called out a “strong fresh woody chicory flavor — love it,” and another likened it to “a nice mellow barrel-aged whiskey.”

It even got one taster’s ultimate vote of confidence: “Would pur- chase with my own hard-earned dollars.”

Perfectly crispy potatoes, crepes for a crowd, advice for a new baker and more

Becky Krystal

Each Thursday at 11 a.m., Post recipes editor Becky Krystal answers questions and provides practical cooking advice in a chat with readers at washingtonpost.com/ community. Here are edited excerpts. Recipes whose names are capitalized can be found at our Recipes landing page at washingtonpost.com/recipes.

Q&A

Q: I usually hard-boil a dozen eggs at the beginning of each week. Is it best to store them in the fridge with the shell on or off? Do they last longer one way or the other? A: USDA doesn’t specify one way or the other, but my inclination would be with the shell on, which is what some other food-safety folks recommend, too. Think of it as an additional protective barrier from bacteria and fridge odors (either the eggs picking them up or contributing to them). I also find the eggs a bit easier to peel once they’ve really been chilled in the refrigerator.

Q: What is the best way to make crispy roasted potatoes that stay crunchy on the outside but fluffy inside? A: What a great question. I’m sorry if this is not what folks want to hear, but the best, crispiest potatoes I’ve roasted have come after a two-step process: parcooking the potatoes first, either by steaming or boiling, then roasting them. That way the potatoes start to turn tender and you can really focus on getting the crispy exterior without worrying the centers will be underdone, leading you to possibly burn the outside. Another way to amp up the crispiness is to make sure there’s plenty of starch on the outside. You can do this by coating them in a bit of flour, potato starch or cornstarch before roasting. Or you can rough up the parcooked pieces a bit so you can create that craggy starchy surface to crisp up. Make sure to use a hot/preheated oven and pan, too. Some ideas/inspo here: Potato Roasties; Oven Fries; Air Fryer Patatas Bravas.

Q: I’d like to try making cookies with bacon drippings instead of butter. Is the quantity a one-to- one swap, bacon fat for butter? I’m going to do oatmeal cookies. A: I maybe wouldn’t do a quite 1:1 swap. Butter is actually about 20 percent water, while bacon fat is 100 percent fat, so you might want to slightly reduce the bacon fat and add a bit of liquid. Maybe milk. So I’d reduce the tablespoons of fat by 20 percent and make the rest up with liquid — e.g., if the recipe called for 8 tablespoons/1 stick of butter, use about 61/2 tablespoons of bacon fat and 11/2 tablespoons milk. I would, however, also keep in mind that bacon fat is pretty strongly flavored! It’s possible you might want to start with a smaller proportion swap before going, well, whole hog. (Maybe half and half?) Also keep in mind that bacon fat is going to be the best substitute in a recipe that calls for melted butter, rather than softened that you cream with sugar. You can’t beat it for aeration the same way as that kind of butter. If the recipe does call for softened butter, then I would definitely just stick with a smaller amount of bacon fat so you can still combine the butter and sugar with the mixer.

Q: I can’t abide the taste of baking powder and even baking soda. Is there a way to leaven quick breads and other baked goods without them? Yeast doughs take so long and sourdough is just ... overwhelming, at least to me. A: I wonder about the recipes you’re using. You really should not be picking up the flavors of these leaveners if you’re using the right amount and they’re being properly neutralized. Quick breads might be a bit tricky without them just because those batters tend to be pretty dense and heavy. You need some kind of lift there and I am not sure what else would give you the same power. Especially if you don’t want to use yeast! Kind of backing yourself into a small corner. I mean, there are other types of baked goods that don’t use anything other than eggs for lift, but those are limited and require you to get things just right to ensure they don’t fall flat. I’m thinking angel food cake, chiffon cake, genoise. Beyond the cake genre, you can certainly find many things that don’t use chemical leaveners: macaroons, macarons, pies, tarts, certain bars, clafoutis, shortbread, cheesecake. Here are some options: Angel Food Cake With Jam Whipped Cream; Strawberry Oat Crumble Bars; Cherry Clafoutis; Pistachio Shortbread With Pomegranate

To make Cherry Clafoutis, just blend together a simple batter, pour it over sweet cherries and bake until set. The most time-consuming part is pitting the cherries if using fresh, but frozen fruit that has been thawed and drained works well, too.

Q: I read that bone broth becomes gelatinous when refrigerated. If it remains more of a liquid, it is stock, not broth. Your comments? A: Yes, depending on what exactly you’re making the broth with, how long you cook it, etc., the bone broth can sort of set up to be more gelatinous because of the collagen. People tend to use the terms stock and broth interchangeably and inconsistently. My understanding has never been that the consistency necessarily dictates the name, other than indirectly — stock tends to be simmered longer and rely primarily on bones.

Q: I have a number of (old) recipes dating from the 1970s and 1980s that call for “table cream” or “light cream.” But the only thing I can seem to find nowadays is labeled in the stores as “heavy cream.” Can I make a 1:1 substitution? A: Interesting. I’ve definitely spotted light cream pretty often at the store. If you can’t find it, you have a number of options, according to “The Food Substitutions Bible.” It says 1 cup of light cream can be substituted with 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter + enough whole milk to equal 1 cup; 1/2 cup heavy cream + 1/2 cup whole milk; or 1/2 cup evaporated milk + 1/2 cup whole milk.

Q: Can you freeze cucumbers to use later in gazpacho? And in any other dishes? A: Freezing cucumbers makes them mushy, so they’re really only good if you intend to blend them into soups, dips, smoothies and the like. You’ll want to slice or chop them before freezing, then spread them on a lined sheet pan and freeze until solid. Then pack them in a bag or container.

For Air Fryer Patatas Bravas, first steam the potatoes in the microwave, then air-fry them until crispy.

Q: Are you finding that the new models of electric ovens push heat to the stovetop, in-front instrument panels and sides of ovens during baking? And that they stay warm after the oven is turned off? It takes about three hours for my stove’s external surfaces to cool off after a 20-to- 30-minute bake cycle. I’ve experienced this with two models of GE stoves. Any suggestions for stoves that don’t push heat to external surfaces after the oven is turned off? This situation makes it hard to roast a chicken and cook the veggies on the stovetop — it’s just too hot to be near the stove! What happened to the use of fans to cool ovens?

A: I can’t say whether this is a new development — in fact, I think not, based on my personal experience. Electric ovens tend to retain heat longer, I think because they’re not vented the same way as gas stoves need to be. This is the case with my home oven, but it’s not hot for 3 hours. (I find the extra heat nice in winter, of course, or when I’m trying to get bread dough to rise or butter to soften!) That’s a very long time and if it’s really so hot that you can’t get near the oven, it may be worth having someone check the unit out.

Q: After buying a bottle of Aperol, I discovered it has artificial food

coloring to give it a bright red color. What can I use as an alternative without dyes? A: Food & Wine has some suggestions that could work for you, including Cocchi Americano, Lillet Blanc and Cappelletti aperitivo (I think it doesn’t have the dyes you don’t want).

Q: I occasionally make one of the alternatives to risotto with farro. Are there other alternatives that you recommend? A: We have recipes with oats and barley: Barley Risotto With Asparagus, Cider and Goat Cheese; Mushroom Oat Risotto With Gruyere.

Q: Our neighbor gifted us a daikon radish from their garden. The catch is, it’s huge — three pounds! I can pickle part of it, but any suggestions for the rest? Would oven-roasting work? A: I don’t think we have any recipes, but yes, you can certainly roast the daikon radish. Another option would be a slaw or salad, maybe our Shiso, Cabbage and Daikon Salad.

Q: It’s time for me to break out my favorite Post recipe and make another batch of Cherry Bounce. This year, I am thinking about messing with success. Do you think I could use Rainier cherries, or a mix of Bing and Rainier (and maybe Chelan, which my grocer sometimes carries), to fancy it up? Or do the other flavors kind of overwhelm the cherries, so that it’s kind of a waste to use Rainiers? A: The headnote does say the flavor will vary a bit depending on what variety you use, so if you’re interested in experimenting, I’d say go for it. I personally have not had the pleasure of making or trying this one!

Q: How do I avoid peeled eggplant turning brown? Recently, I made ratatouille and the recipe called for peeling the eggplant before frying it. The peeled sections turned brown immediately. How could I avoid this? Does it affect the dish at all? Do you recommend peeling the eggplant (or not) when making ratatouille? A: The browning is just superficial. It’s caused by oxidation, the same thing that causes cut potatoes or apples to change color, too. So I wouldn’t go out of your way to prevent it, if you decide to peel. I don’t think I see that any of our recipes require peeling the eggplant, though it may be an option for some. I don’t think it’s necessary. I like the

color it lends, and the skin can help the pieces hold together better.

Q: Our church is holding a fundraising dinner and will be making about 300 crepes the day before. Any tips/suggestions/ recipes for a bunch of volunteers? A: Sounds like you’ve got the right idea to make the crepes ahead. I would also focus on fillings that could easily be made or prepped ahead. I’m thinking sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions or other cooked/roasted veg. If you’re doing cheese, you could shred that in advance. Of course, Nutella is a classic filling that requires zero work! Some recipes: Buttery Crepes; Herby Mushroom and Swiss Crepes; Ratatouille in Tomato Crepes.

Q: I hate the taste of canola oil, called for in some baking recipes. Can I substitute butter or another kind of oil? A: Sure thing. It’s pretty easy to swap in melted butter for oil in a recipe. You could also use melted coconut oil (refined, if you don’t want the flavor) or any other neutral oil, such as grapeseed or avocado.

Q: I’ve only been using the recipe for Jose Andres’s Gazpacho since you ran it years ago. I want to try something else — any suggestions? The recipe search has a bunch, but I wanted something that someone else reliable has already deemed worthy. On a related note: Is there a way to search/filter the recipe database archives with ones that you or other staff have tested? A lot of the recipes are directly from the author/subject of the article that ran with it. A: No, you can’t search by tester, but anything that’s in the admin is something we stand behind and had tested, so I don’t really think there are tiers of which you should trust based on who tested it. Often if the tester is listed as the author, it’s something we tried anyway, or made here for a photo shoot and tried then. These are some recipes that I’ve liked over the years: Cherry Gazpacho; Corn Gazpacho; Cantaloupe Gazpacho; Watermelon-Tomato Gazpacho.

Q: We’re getting ready for a week at the beach, and I want to prep some dishes ahead of time that I can freeze and then cook/bake once we get there. I’m already planning a lasagna/stuffed shells kind of thing, and was thinking about a pan of ham and cheese sliders, but would love any other tried-and-true suggestions, for any meals. We’re a group of five adults and three littles; we can’t use eggs for allergy reasons. A: Burritos are great to freeze, then can be thawed and cooked up on the stovetop. Some other possibilities: Cazuela Azteca (Chicken and Tortilla Aztec Casserole); Baked Ziti (With Rigatoni); Curried Cauliflower and Farro Bake.

Q: I am new to baking. I always use the abundance of recipes online. I find that my treats are sometimes good, sometimes not. I have learned basics, such as allowing eggs and butter to come to room temperature, preheating the oven, fluffing the flour, closely watching the time as it bakes, etc. Sometimes I don’t think it’s my fault. Could some of the recipes I am using be wrong? A: Absolutely. There are lots of terrible recipes out there, which is why it’s important to go to a trusted source, or at least one you’ve had good experiences with. There are so many ways recipes, especially baking ones, can go wrong. Also best to use recipes that include weight, and that you use it.

Q: I want to use cilantro in fresh (uncooked) salsa, but I’m nervous with the cyclosporaisis outbreak. I thought about making a paste of the chopped cilantro and heating it in a microwave to kill any beasties. Would the cilantro lose its flavor by doing that? A: I do think you’d lose flavor, color and texture. You’d also have to confirm it hit about 160 degrees. I suppose you could also try blanching it. Definitely something you’ll need to weigh with your own risk tolerance.
