出生公民权

对身份状态打上“问号”

专家：行政命令对遏制“生育旅游”作用甚微

Michael Loria 今日美国

移民和法律专家表示，特朗普政府禁止“生育旅游”的新命令，往好里说，对遏制这一规模较小且本已违法的行为作用甚微；往坏里说，则是非法地在公民身份上“打了一个问号”。

唐纳德·特朗普总统在 8 月 6 日（周四）签署了两项行政命令，旨在阻止外国人来到美国分娩，这种被称为“生育旅游”的行为在联邦法典中已被禁止。批评者认为，此类访客滥用了出生公民权，而这一标准被载入第 14 修正案，即在美领土出生的人即为美国公民。最高法院在 6 月维持了这一标准。

根据学者和移民专家的说法，目前尚不清楚特朗普的命令将如何阻止一个在统计学上本就规模很小的问题。根据对该行为的最大规模估算，生育旅游在全美年度出生人口中所占比例不足 1%。

“我的初步印象是，其中大部分内容违宪或违反了联邦法规，”弗吉尼亚大学法学院教授、出生公民权书籍作者 Amanda Frost 表示。“相关条款显然违反了第 14 修正案一直以来的含义，以及最高法院刚刚维持的裁决。”

在最糟糕的情况下，批评者预见到这种情况将损害需要前往美国寻求医疗护理的母亲，并被用作该政府试图剥夺部分美国公民国籍努力的一部分。

“这是在公民身份旁边打一个问号，这非常危险，”移民律师 David Leopold 告诉今日美国。

特朗普政府的这两项行政命令，紧随白宫近期试图限制出生公民权的尝试之后，而自第 14 修正案批准以来，出生公民权一直是该国的法律。该政府曾试图在一宗尚未提交至最高法院的案件中取消出生公民权，但

随着米德湖萎缩，危机加剧

2500万人的饮用水源降至历史最低点

美国最大的水库米德湖已降至历史最低水位，遭受干旱袭击的西部地区正面临日益严重的水危机。

这座由拉斯维加斯郊外科罗拉多河上的胡佛水坝创建的巨型水库在 8 月 7 日降至历史最低海拔，达到 1,040.5 英尺。该湖为数千万美国家庭、企业和农民提供用水，并提供无碳水电。

根据垦务局的数据，自 7 月 31 日以来，湖水位每天都在下降。自官员们在 20 世纪 30 年代开始填充水库以来，一直追踪湖中的海拔高度。在几个较为湿润的冬季帮助重新填充之前，该湖在 2022 年 7 月 28 日达到了之前的现代历史最低水位 1,040.58 英尺。

“情况很糟糕，我们显然需要采取行动——而且要快，”科罗拉多州立大学科罗拉多水中心的高级气候科学家布拉德·尤戴尔 (Brad Udall) 表示。

上一次米德湖接近这个低点是在 2022 年，亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利 (Mark Kelly) 警告称，“亚利桑那州和其他科罗拉多盆地州将面临严重后果”。如果关键水库的水位进一步下降，后果可能包括失去水力发电，甚至出现“死池”状态，届时将没有水从米德湖流出。

以色列拒绝特朗普的加沙计划，内塔尼亚胡如是说

Steven Schorr 和 Nidal al-Muqhrali 等 / tite

耶路撒冷 / 开罗 —— 以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在 8 月 6 日对他的右翼政府发表的电视讲话中，再次重申拒绝唐纳德·特朗普最新的加沙计划，尽管在 美国总统的压力下，以色列军队已实际上停止了在该地区的袭击。

内塔尼亚胡正处于竞选模式，寻求在 10 月 27 日举行的投票中连任，但他陷入了困境：一边是因加沙让步而愤怒的极右翼部长，另一边则是他的关键军事支持者特朗普，后者希望通过一项新的 15 点和平计划推动结束冲突。

自 8 月 3 日以来，以色列缩减了在加沙的袭击，当时负责监督加沙停火的特朗普和平委员会的 Nidalag-Mladັ່ງ-are（加沙活动）与内塔尼亚胡进行了会晤。

一名熟悉以色列立场的消息人士表示，以色列已同意军队将仅针对其认为的加沙境内直接威胁采取行动，不再像之前几乎每天进行的那样执行针对性暗杀。

以色列与哈马斯在特朗普计划的时间表上存在分歧

特朗普在 7 月宣布，他旨在结束战争的计划取得了突破，以色列和哈马斯均对此表示同意：以色列军队将撤出，与此同时哈马斯解除武装，一支国际稳定部队将与新的巴勒斯坦警察部队合作以确保该飞地的安全。

但复杂情况迅速出现。以色列表示，在哈马斯解除武装之前，在加沙的以色列军队不会移动。哈马斯则坚持认为，以色列在开始执行协议中涉及其武器的部分之前已经。

“以色列不接受这份 15-point 文件，”内塔尼亚胡在与内阁部长会议开始时表示。

军方“在哈马斯被解除武装之前不会进行任何撤军。这意味着重型武器、轻型武器，所有武器。”

他说，以色列讨论的是“真正的解除武装，而非虚假的解除武装”，并指出以色列正就该计划与美国进行谈判。内塔尼亚胡在 Aug. 4. 的一篇社交媒体帖子中发表了类似的言论。

“他们 [美国] 有一些想法，其中一些我们可以接受，另一些我们不能接受，”内塔尼亚胡说道，但未详细阐述。

哈马斯高级官员拉塞姆·奈姆（Rasem Naim）在 Aug. 9. 告诉路透社，该组织仍致力于与开罗调解人达成的路线图。

“我们希望调解人和美国的保证能向内塔尼亚胡及其政府施压，要求其遵守路线图，不要因为内部政治和选举原因而阻碍进程，同时继续危及该地区的安全与稳定。”

极右翼财政部长布伦德尔·斯莫尔尼克（Brendel Smolnick）赞扬了内塔尼亚胡。

他在一份声明中说：“我们发动战争有一个核心目标：摧毁哈马斯。”“ [军方] 不能从加沙地带撤出哪怕一毫米。在哈马斯以及加沙地带被完全拆除和解散之前，加沙地带不能开始任何重建进程。”

特朗普在 7 月表示，受伊朗支持的哈马斯——在发动 Oct. 7, 2023, 触发加沙战争的对以色列袭击之前，已统治加沙近 20 年——已同意放下武器。

哈马斯将是“解除武装”一词的其中一方，并表示该组织同意移交武器，由一个美国 Standard Malatizane technicent 管理机构存储，该机构将在特朗普和平委员会的监督下运行加沙的办公室。

哈马斯表示，它同意该计划是为了让加沙人民免于可能重启的战争，但它补充说，协议的执行将取决于以色列是否履行其自身的承诺，包括撤军。

哈马斯表示，在 10 月达成结束战争的调解协议中，以色列曾誓言在 Aug. 3. 停止针对性袭击之前，移交每一名参与 October 2023 袭击的武装分子。

据加沙卫生官员称，自交火以来，在以色列的袭击中已有 1,250 多人死亡，其中大多数是平民。哈马斯尚未披露其阵亡战士的人数。

以色列军队已经占领并开发了该飞地的一个新武装，导致近 200 万 居民被限制在沿海由哈马斯控制的一小块土地上，大多数人住在临时帐篷或受损建筑中。

该国最高法院的法官以 6-3 的投票结果裁定白宫败诉。

“我原以为我们会在最高法院获胜，不幸的是，我们得到了一个糟糕的决定，一个非常不公正的决定。我们的国家因此受苦，”特朗普在椭圆形办公室签署新的行政命令后表示。在，“我们将以另一种方式结束它。”

出生旅游规模有多大？

在白宫看来，出生旅游是一个巨大的问题。特朗普在签署行政命令时表示，每年有数十万名婴儿在出生旅游者在美期间出生。

然而，针对该问题的研究发现，这种做法在统计学上并不显著。根据移民政策研究所（Migration Policy Institute）的数据，最高估算值可能为每年约 30,000 名婴儿。较为保守的估算将其数量定在 6,000 左右。无论哪个数字，都低于该国每年 350 万 以上新生儿数量的 1%。

“问题的规模相当小，”移民政策研究所分析师科琳·普里策尔-卡瓦诺（Colleen Pritzel-Kavanaugh）表示，她共同撰写了一项关于该问题的近期研究，不过“它确实带来了政策问题，包括签证欺诈和逃税”。

法律专家指出，联邦法规已经禁止人们在签证申请表上撒谎以及为了生孩子而进入美国，因此出生旅游已被禁止。

谁在参与签证旅游？

研究该课题的人士表示，白宫对出生旅游者的描述具有误导性。

被视为总统移民政策架构师的特朗普高级顾问斯蒂芬·米勒（Stephen Miller）将这种做法描述为一种滥用控制，旨在利用美国的福利制度。

然而，专家指出，参与这种做法的通常是富人。特朗普自己在签署命令时也承认了这一点，他告诉记者，出生旅游背后的这些人是“千万富翁”和“亿万富翁”。

“这可能是因为支付出生旅游公司费用所需资金较高，从而形成了一个精英群体，”普里策尔-卡瓦诺说。“大多数母亲的意图是希望提供美国公民权，将其视为她们能为孩子未来提供的最高标准。”

根据移民政策研究所的数据，每项服务的费用据报道在 $20,000 到 $850,000 之间。参与者中包括在中国的独生子女政策时期寻求生育第二个孩子的中国母亲。其他人则是来自政府被认为不够稳定的国家的富人。

其中一些出生是由非法的出生旅游公司促成的。2006 年，联邦政府起诉了一名中国男子，因其在加利福尼亚州经营一家名为“You Wu USA Vacation Services Corp.”的公司，促成了约 500 名儿童的出生。

根据美国国土安全部的说法，该公司向客户收取 $40,000 到 $80,000 不等的费用，以便在孩子出生前将其安置在加利福尼亚州欧文市的一套公寓中。

生于美国

但专家指出，孩子无需为父母的罪行负责，且出生公民权在第 14 修正案的文本中已有明确规定，并再次得到了最高法院的维持。

最高法院在 6 月 10 日废除了特朗普早前一项旨在限制出生公民权的行政命令。大法官们表示，总统不能仅凭一支笔就改变出生公民权的定义，且特朗普的推动威胁到了对宪法保障历史理解的阐释。

学者们表示，出生公民权是美国的一项基石原则。

“生于美国”这一短语可以用来解释其必要性，一位弗吉尼亚州的学者表示：“这触及了成为美国人的核心含义。我们的国家建立在拒绝世袭地位、拒绝贵族头衔、拒绝任何基于血统的公民权定义这一理念之上。成为美国人，就是身在此地。”

对公民身份状态的质疑

一些批评人士表示，无论这些新的行政命令是违法还是个案，其核心点在于其意图是对某些美国人的公民身份状态提出质疑。

“这是在对富裕公民身份打上问号，无论其父母是否是在未经授权的情况下在美，或者母亲是否是以访客身份来到这里，”移民律师利奥波德（Leopold）说道。

利奥波德指出，政府已经尝试剥夺美国人的公民身份。在这些努力中，美国商务部在 2023 年 6 月指示政府律师尝试对那些“通过不正当手段”成为公民的人“撤销其美国公民身份”。

他补充道：“这并非他们对移民发起的全面攻击中的全部，而是针对那些他们认为不应该在这个国家、却意外获得了美国公民身份的人。”

美国参议院将迎来更激烈的斗争

密集活动促使参议员进入休假期

Zachary Schermola

今日美国

华盛顿 —— 参议院在休会前匆忙完成了多项议程——通过了一项政府拨款法案以试图避免另一次停摆，确认了托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）为司法部长，并否决了一项选民身份验证措施。

8月7, 一场快速的立法活动浪潮既是议程推进，也成了让参议员们进入一年一度为期一个月休假并奔赴竞选之路的“逃生计划”。

但在经历了数日的共和党内部内斗后，议院仍有大量议案未能通过。

在资金紧张的情况下，一项推进五角大楼资金注入的计划陷入停滞，一项旨在改革大学体育运动的立法也同样受阻。希望通过多年酝酿的加密货币监管立法也落空了。一项旨在实施唐纳德·特朗普总统最大立法优先级——名为《拯救美国法案》（SAVE America Act）的投票限制法案的部分内容的努力，也未能接近终点线。

前一天，参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune）承认，在达成共识方面他面临着挑战。

“这就像是一系列堆积在一起的事情，”这位来自南达科他州的共和党人说道，“‘火车失事’这个比喻可能有点太极端了。”

结果是：国会在11月选举前所剩无几的时间里，将不得不面对一些政治上最激烈的斗争。由于全面选举可能会结束共和党在国会山全面掌控的当前时代，参议院共和党人仍在努力协调其维持权力的目标与完成工作的需求。

“我计划前往所有关键战场州，并且很渴望能帮助我的同事们，”路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪（John Kennedy）在上周的一次议事演讲中表示，“但我们必须留在此时此地，完成我们的工作。”

选民身份验证法案暂时缓解了对 SAVE 法案的狂热

过去几周和几个月，参议院被保守派推动通过某种版本的《拯救美国法案》的浪潮所占据。该法案——将大幅限制邮寄投票，并要求在投票时提供照片身份证件和公民身份证明文件——位列白宫立法愿望清单之首。

尽管完整法案几乎没有通过的可能性，但国会共和党领导人正协同采取一种创造性的迂回策略，试图绕过参议院的阻碍来批准它：通过拨款，让部分州将其中部分内容转化为法律。这种策略采取的是预算法案的形式，该法案可以仅凭党派路线通过，无需民主党支持。

虽然该蓝图主要集中在增加国防开支以加强五角大楼，但它还将拨出数十亿美元用于选举相关目的。

“在选举诚信方面，最多会拨出 200 亿美元 billion，”参议院预算委员会主席、威斯康星州共和党参议员本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）在谈到该计划时表示。

众议院已经通过了该努力的初步方案，这是漫长过程的第一步：参议院共和党人原本希望在休假前完成同样的操作，但此时的分歧和其他优先级阻碍了进程。为了缓解最坚定的 SAVE 法案支持者的挫败感，乔·哈斯泰德（Joe Husted）参议员在深夜提出了一项要求在选举中提供照片身份证件的措施。这项来自俄亥俄州共和党人的法案未能通过。

“没有一个民主党人加入我们，”犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李（Mike Lee）说道。李可以说是该州历史上 SAVE 法案最大的拥护者。在离开华盛顿之前，他多次威胁称，如果法案不向前推进，他将阻挠议程并要求同事们继续开会。

“我已穷尽一切手段，”他在社交媒体上表示，“我希望结果在调整和投票方面能有所不同。”

李，或任何其他共和党参议员，本可以在 8 月 8 日凌晨 5 点前对议院的合并提出异议。但他们都没有这样做。

前特朗普律师布兰奇被确认任命为司法部长

有争议的候选人以 50–49 票获得通过

Aysha Bagchi, Zachary Schermola 和 Francesca Chambers

今日美国（USA TODAY）

华盛顿 —— 经过数周的共和党内部斗争，参议院最终通过投票确认托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）为下一任美国司法部长。

这次投票在 8 月 6 日深夜进行，结果基本按党派分线，为 50–49。此次投票仅有两名共和党议员倒戈：阿拉斯加州参议员丽莎·穆尔科夫斯基（Lisa Murkowski）和缅因州参议员苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）。路易斯安那州参议员比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy）、德克萨斯州参议员约翰·康林（John Conryn）和北卡罗来纳州参议员汤姆·蒂勒（Thom Tiller）——他们近期都对布兰奇表达了严重的保留意见，并对司法部整体的政治化持有相关看法——最终还是支持了唐纳德·特朗普总统的前私人律师。

这次确认结束了一场在国会山持续数周且充满紧张气氛的政治斗争，再次测试了参议院共和党内部的一股强大力量与当前国家最高执法机构方向之间共同的矛盾。

在 8 月 7 日，白宫方面自信地认为，当时正率领总统代表团访问哥伦比亚的布兰奇将会获得确认。官员们表示，他们计划让特朗普尽快为其主持就职宣誓。

“我对特朗普总统信任并委任我担任司法部长这一关键总统职位以领导司法部深感荣幸，”布兰奇在投票后的一份声明中表示。“我感谢参议院加班完成这一流程。”

在关于卡西迪对布兰奇立场的不确定持续数日后，这位参议员在 8 月 7 日上午宣布他将投票支持布兰奇，就在穆尔科夫斯基在社交媒体上宣布她不会这样做之后不久，他成为了关键的摇摆票。卡西迪在参议院议事厅表示，虽然布兰奇并非管理该部门的完美选择，但如果特朗普在提名任务时提出一个更不可取的人选，他将对此感到担忧。

“选择不在于完美与布兰奇先生之间，而是在布兰奇先生与另一位可能无法在特朗普总统领导下有效运行该部门、且实际上可能不如布兰奇先生的代理司法部长之间做出选择，”他说道。

在卡西迪宣布立场后，发言人劳伦·里（Lauren Rie）在一份声明中表示，布兰奇在司法部倡导法律与秩序以及保障美国人安全的政策方面“发挥了关键作用”。

“这是一个极好的消息，我们期待他很快获得最终确认。托德·布兰奇在担任代理司法部长期间表现出色，在担任司法部长后将继续如此，”里说道。

穆尔科夫斯基、柯林斯反对布兰奇

8 月 7 日这一天始于布兰奇的确认，在特朗普解雇帕姆·罗塞尔（Pam Rosell）后，布兰奇接任代理司法部长，此前其前景十分堪忧。

穆尔科夫斯基表示，特朗普政府“加速”了司法部的政治化，这使她无法支持布兰奇。她还对布兰奇处理爱泼斯坦（Epstein）案件的方式，以及她所描述的在一次有争议的协议中给予特朗普的“广泛豁免保护”提出了质疑。

她的宣布是在柯林斯 8 月 4 日发表声明称她也无法支持布兰奇的竞选之后。这位缅因州参议员正处于关键的选区重新划分三方竞争的减员期，她对特朗普的豁免权、布兰奇决定批准一项 $13 亿的“反武器化”基金（他随后撤回了该决定）以及司法部出版物表达了类似的担忧。

这两位温和派共和党人的反对意味着布兰奇需要参议院中每一位剩余共和党人的支持。来自肯塔基州的共和党参议员米奇·麦康奈尔此前一直在从跌倒和肺炎中恢复，最终没有投票。但目前尚不清楚麦康奈尔是否会投赞成票——他也多次谴责过该“反武器化”基金。

参议院的波折

布兰奇（Blanche）由特朗普于6月提名担任显赫的司法部长，在最近几周已经面临着动荡的提名过程。司法委员会的两名共和党参议员康林（Conryn）和蒂勒（Tiller）——他们与卡西迪（Cassidy）一样，在与特朗普发生冲突后，预计将于1月结束参议院任期——暂时撤回了支持。

在布兰奇就美国司法部（DOJ）确认向特朗普及其盟友提供利益的和解方案做出让步后，他们随后同意支持布兰奇。

该协议试图解决由特朗普、他的两个长子以及特朗普集团提起的一起诉讼。该诉讼指称，美国国税局（IRS）因未能阻止一名承包商泄露其税务信息而欠他们200亿美元。

特朗普方面表示，他们将以换取政府承诺的方式撤回诉讼。美国司法部（DOJ）表示，将设立一项179 亿美元 billion的“反武器化”基金，该基金可能向在2021年美国国会大厦骚乱期间犯罪的特朗普支持者提供纳税人的资金。它还承诺，特朗普的关联人员在面对政府可能提出的索赔（包括针对过去纳税申报单的索赔）时享有豁免权。

这项税务豁免协议可能给总统带来巨大的财务利益。《纽约时报》在2020年报道称，特朗普因一项申请的$72.900 万退税问题，与美国国税局（IRS）陷入了长达十年的审计之争。据《时报》报道，如果输掉这场斗争，可能会让他损失超过1亿美元。

鉴于特朗普提名并有权解雇美国司法部（DOJ）的领导人，该协议被广泛批评为特朗普的自我交易。

佛罗里达州联邦法官凯瑟琳·M·威廉姆斯（Kathleen M. Williams）在7月13日裁定，该诉讼本质上是试图将给予总统利益的行为合法化，并禁止特朗普家族将该协议用于或称其为任何官方程序。然而，目前尚不清楚该命令是否以及如何构成美国司法部（DOJ）和美国国税局（IRS）与总统之间的私下交易。

在面对来自国会的两党强烈反对时，布兰奇此前曾表示美国司法部（DOJ）不会推进该基金。但在康林和蒂勒表示他们需要更多条件才能支持其提名后，他发布了一份正式否认该资金的文件，以及第二份文件，澄清特朗普在税务问题上的豁免权仅限于特朗普、他的两个长子和特朗普集团，且仅适用于过去的纳税年度。

参议院司法委员会在本周早些时候按照党派路线投票，决定将布兰奇的提名提交至参议院全体会议。

布兰奇引发的争议

批评者表示，布兰奇的承诺还不够，因为最初协议的条款规定，该协议只能在“经各方书面同意”的情况下才能修改，而这其中就包括特朗普本人。他们还表示，布兰奇可能会改变主意，或者寻找其他途径将纳税人的资金用于 1 月 6 日的信函。

“这些文件中的财务漏洞大到足以开进一辆卡车，”参议员谢尔顿·怀特豪斯（Sheldon Whitehouse，民主党-罗德岛州）在 8 月 4 日的一次听证会上表示，不久之后，司法委员会便按党派路线批准了布兰奇的提名。

布兰奇还因在北卡罗来纳州对前 FBI 局长詹姆斯·康林（James Conryn）提起联邦指控而受到抨击，康林是一位著名的特朗普批评者。特朗普在 2020 年 9 月的一篇社交媒体帖子中公开要求康林面临未指明的指控。

指控称，康林在社交媒体上发布了一张海边形状像“do it!”（去做吧！）的图片，以此威胁要伤害或杀死总统。根据《韦氏词典》，“do”是一个俚语，意思是“扔掉”或“除掉”。特朗普是美国第 47 任总统。

蒂利（Tillie）本人在 8 月 4 日的听证会上批评了此案，尽管他投票支持推进布兰奇的提名。

“在北卡罗来纳州的第 47 届国会广播中，认为美国司法部（DOJ）将其定为犯罪。那么，他们最好分享一些非公开信息来支持这一点，因为如果仅仅是因为一张图片，那个人就应该丢掉工作，他或她的工作，”蒂利说道。

布兰奇于 4 月 29 日举行了一次权力会议，并在会上亲自宣布了指控。这是在现任特朗普政府期间对康林提起的第二起刑事案件。第一起指控康林误导国会的案件已于 11 月被驳回。

关键共和党人表示支持

一些国会共和党人对布兰奇表示热情，称他在打击犯罪方面建立了强大的记录。

参议院司法委员会主席奇克-加斯利（Chick-Gaasley，共和党-路易斯安那州）在 7 月 25 日的一次听证会上为布兰奇领导下的美国司法部（DOJ）记录辩护，赞扬了美国司法部（DOJ）抓获 FBI “最 wanted”名单上的逃犯以及针对与非法贸易相关人员的行动。

卡西迪（Cassidy）在参议院的发言中表示，布兰奇通过批准“反武器化”基金以及将特朗普从美国国税局（IRS）审计中剔除，展现了其“判断力”。他表示，他“特别担心”美国司法部（DOJ）伪造针对政治对手的案件。

然而，卡西迪还称赞布兰奇是一位“实干的管理者”，优先处理打击暴力犯罪、人口和毒品贩运以及欺诈，并强调曾在乔治·H·W·布什总统任内及特朗普首个总统任期内担任该职位的前总检察长比尔·贝斯特（Bill Best）在一次背书中表示，布兰奇“在特朗普总统领导下，将比任何人都更有效地管理该部门”。

有些人称之为微弱的赞美。卡西迪说：“我不认为如此。我认为这是一个现实。”

特朗普：美国拥有“虚拟无限”的导弹

报告称弹药库存已耗尽

Michael Lorin，《今日美国》

几位专家和相关报告称，伊朗战争严重消耗了美国关键的导弹储备，使该国及其盟友处于一个潜在的脆弱境地。

在总统唐纳德·特朗普及其盟友以色列于2月28日发动战争之前，美国的导弹储备就已经处于低位。但在中东地区经历了五个月的战斗后，该国的导弹库存已被耗尽到分析人士认为可能很快就会枯竭的程度。

“这对美国确实具有长期的战略影响，”史汀森中心（Stimson Center）的凯利（Kelly）在最近的一次随访中告诉《今日美国》。“该中心是一家专注于全球和平问题的智库。”“要恢复到战争开始前的水平需要数年时间，而且战前的水平已经太低了。”

《今日美国》在对该国导弹储备进行调查之际，总统在8月6日的一篇社交媒体帖子中表示，“美国拥有海量的‘弹药，尤其是某些类型的弹药’。”

当天晚些时候，特朗普在椭圆形办公室告诉记者，美国拥有“几乎无限供应”的导弹。他询问相关人员某些类型的导弹供应是否在“减轻”。

总统的言论以及美国官员的说法，出现在战略与国际研究中心（CSIS）的一份短缺分析报告、一篇关于特朗普就储备问题与国防官员发生冲突的《华盛顿邮报》报道，以及一篇称美国已几乎耗尽关键弹药的路透社报道之前。

五角大楼官员抨击报道中的短缺情况为“虚假”。

“美国依然是地球上最强大的战斗力量。”五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔（Sean Parnell）在一份声明中表示，“我们拥有在人们‘更换选择’时发起打击所需的一切。在多个作战司令部中，我们已经在执行成功行动的同时，维持着一个深厚且随时待命的军械库，以保卫我们的人民和利益。任何将媒体噪音误认为美国弱点的对手，都将以惨痛的方式发现真相。”

哪些弹药短缺？

专家根据针对伊斯兰共和国袭击的军事披露估计，这场较小规模的战争已经耗尽了一些最重要的美国弹药。其中包括：爱国者（Patriot）和 TRIAAP 防御导弹，以及远程地面攻击的战斧（Tomahawk）导弹。

根据战略与国际研究中心（Center for Strategic and International Studies）的分析，在战争过程中，美国已经使用了约一半的爱国者和 TRIAAP 库存，以及三分之一的战斧导弹库存。该中心是一家总部位于华盛顿特区的智库，专注于国家安全问题。

该分析的主笔马克·F·坎西安（Mark F. Cancian）估计，如果战争再拖延几个月，美国的剩余库存可能会被严重耗尽。

“要恢复到战争开始前的水平需要数年时间，而且战前的水平已经太低了。”

凯利·A·格里夫（Kelly A. Grieve），斯蒂姆森中心（Stimson Center，一家专注于全球和平问题的智库）高级研究员。

“对于一场针对伊朗的战争，我们可以继续维持一段时间，维持数月，”坎西安说。“但我的怀疑是，参谋长联席会议认为我们正处于与中国发生冲突的危险点，届时我们将需要所有这些导弹，这就是为什么我们会将其称为‘脆弱窗口期’。”

坎西安指出，美国的中远程和短程弹药供应充足，尽管这些武器带有额外的风险。

“如果在我们重建这些库存之前发生战争，美国将面临更大的损失和伤亡，”坎西安说。“在进攻方面，我们将不得不使用射程较短的武器，这风险要高得多；而在防御方面，我们将耗尽弹药，无法拦截来袭导弹。”

专家表示，对美国导弹库存的估计是基于联邦预算文件中的导弹采购数量，并与关于其在战争中使用的公开披露内容进行对比得出的。

对美国盟友的影响

美国导弹短缺已经成为乌克兰对抗俄罗斯战争中的一个因素。乌克兰是几个依赖美国制造的防御系统的美国盟友之一。特朗普在 8 月 6 日将部分库存损耗归咎于乌克兰。自 2022 年俄罗斯首次入侵以来，美国已向该国提供了约 600 枚防御导弹。

总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在 8 月 1 日警告称，该国已耗尽爱国者导弹，且在某一天，乌克兰防空系统在 27 枚俄罗斯攻击导弹中仅能拦截 1 枚。

其他可能受到短缺影响的盟友包括日本和台湾，以及目前正在抵御伊朗攻击的海湾国家。

“如果战斗再次爆发，且伊朗人继续向海湾国家发射导弹，他们将大声请求提供额外的导弹，”坎西安说。

专家表示，由于制造限制，补充美国导弹库存将需要数年时间。

根据战略研究中心的分析，该国直到 2029 年中期才能恢复到战前的防御导弹水平，直到 2030 年或 2031 年才能恢复到战前的战斧导弹水平。

为什么会出现短缺？

弹药短缺的原因有很多。

其中，导弹制造难度大，供应链压力可能会中断生产，且美国几十年来没有面对过能够进行有效反击的对手，因此国家不需要这么多导弹。导弹的生产决策也是提前数年制定的。

国防系统（包括爱国者导弹）的另一个因素是，通常每拦截一枚攻击导弹需要发射两到三枚拦截导弹。据估计，在战争期间，伊朗发射的攻击导弹远超 1,000 枚。

立法者表示，在战争之前，美国的库存水平就已经较低。

“我们关键国防物资的库存已下降到危险的低水平。”众议院军事委员会主席、来自阿拉巴马州的迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers, R-Alabama）在 3 月 4 日的一份声明中表示，当时冲突仅开始几天。“后果很明显。人们对于我们是否有能力与中国进行一场持久战产生了越来越多的怀疑。”

美国多年来参与非正式战争也损害了供应。

根据战略研究中心的估计，这些包括拜登政府在红海作战中使用的数百枚防御导弹，以及去年用于攻击伊朗的数十枚攻击导弹、抓捕“Vasranatka：尼古拉斯·马德拉斯总统（President Nicolas Madras）”的突袭，以及圣诞节期间对尼日利亚伊斯兰国（ISIS）的袭击。

美国资源的局限性

斯蒂姆森中心（Stimson Center）专家格里夫（Grieve）表示，伊朗战争导致的短缺可能说明了美国资源的局限性。

“我们一直将这些视为低成本干预，”格里夫说，“是的，就美国的损失而言，它们确实是低成本的。但在弹药使用方面，它们付出了真实的代价。”

在进行方向修正的过程中，短缺最终会导致领导者被迫决定打哪场仗，或者拦截哪些导弹。

“我们一直以来发动战争的方式是不需要讨论权衡的，因为我们太强大了，”格里夫说。“这场战争让我们意识到，这些权衡是真实存在的，而且并不是只要投入更多资金就能简单解决的问题。”

她补充道：“总会有一个时间点，你必须面对资源限制，并就如何最好地服务于美国利益做出决定。”

米德湖

接第1A页

米德湖显露出了沉没的船只、为了修建水库而被淹没的城镇遗迹，以及几具尸体。

米德湖约为2500万人饮用水的来源，而在由科罗拉多河盆地供水的总计约4000万人中，包括拉斯维加斯大都会区在内。该河流还为约500万英亩的农用地提供灌溉用水，包括加利福尼亚州和加利福尼亚州。这里曾是美国大部分水果和蔬菜的产地。

临床活跃人士及其他供水专家表示，长期干旱与气候变化相关，气候变化正在改变落在落基山脉上的水量，从而影响更多水量融化进入科罗拉多河。该河流为七个西部州、美洲原住民部落和墨西哥两个北部州提供用于农业、灌溉、驱动、水力发电、娱乐以及鱼类和野生动物栖息地的水源。

水流在长达1,440英里的科罗拉多河中，以落基山脉的雨水、融雪和径流形式，流经大峡谷，向下流向鲍威尔湖——这是美国第二大水库，由格伦峡谷大坝拦截。水流驱动格伦峡谷大坝的水力涡轮机，然后向下游流动，最终进入米德湖，在那里它在再次发电后被分发-

至下游流域各州。

由于河流及其水库不足以满足用水需求，据美国国家航空航天局（NASA）称，农民和城市一直在从含水层抽取地下水，而这些含水层失水的速度正在加快。根据NASA最近的估计，自2002年以来，水库和含水层共损失了53.7万亿加仑的水。

水权多年拉锯战导致危机恶化

米德湖（Lake Mead）记录到的历史最低水位出现在联邦当局发布一项应对短缺计划的几天之后。该计划包括削减科罗拉多河下游流域各州（包括亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州和内华达州）可抽取的水量。

七个西部州的官员们在这一河流问题上已经斗争了一个多世纪，尤其是随着西部人口的增加，在持续干旱时期对水的需求也随之增加。

联邦政府发布了一项为期 10 年的管理计划和环境影响声明，以解决科罗拉多河的水短缺问题，并计划在未来几天发布更多细节。该计划要求加利福尼亚州、亚利桑那州和内华达州大幅削减用水量，并要求科罗拉多州、怀俄明州、新墨西哥州和犹他州进行自愿减量。

据《亚利桑那共和报》（Arizona Republic）报道，亚利桑那州官员对联邦官员要求河流下游流域三个州削减用水量感到震惊。该州水资源主管汤姆·拉文多弗（Tom Ravindorfer）表示，他的团队将继续与其他六个州以及联邦决策者进行谈判。

据内政部称，由于长期干旱，米德湖和鲍威尔湖（Lake Powell）的合计蓄水量处于 1903, 鲍威尔湖开始蓄水之前的最低水平。该部门在介绍环境影响文件的信函中指出，“系统的亏空从未如此之大”。

鲍威尔湖目前的水位为 3,521.43 英尺，在过去 30 天内下降了近 4 英尺。联邦官员表示，如果不是更早的话，水位可能会在早春之前达到最低点。

犹他州表示，新的联邦计划是解决他和其他人几十年来一直担忧的问题的一个坚实开端。但他担心，在预测报告 0. 将给该地区带来显著缓解之前，西部地区的人口过多。

他说，即使今年冬天雨水充沛，长期趋势依然严峻。他表示，除非各州、美洲原住民部落和墨西哥政府能就大幅降低用水量达成一致，否则米德湖的前景将是“可怕的”。

“最让我难过的是，在我们拥有所有这些知识的情况下，我们还没有做得更多，”犹他州说道。“我们要求人们去做非常困难的事情。但如果不能做到，将产生完全不可接受的后果。我们正生活在边缘。”

供应减少，拉斯维加斯削减用水量

据水务局称，拉斯维加斯地区的水用户在过去 20 年中大幅降低了需求，即使人口增加了 876,000 人，人均用水量仍减少了 58%。

2022, 南内华达水务局完成了一项工程，以确保在水位较低时仍能从米德湖抽水供应拉斯维加斯地区。这项工作始于 2008, 包括一个更靠近湖底的新低水位取水口和一个将水提升 500 英尺的泵站。

水务局一直向居民支付费用，以拆除他们的 thierry pines 并用景观或树木代替，禁止大多数新的商业喷泉和水景，并限制了高尔夫球场可使用的水量。

超过 2.5 亿 平方英尺的草坪（相当于 9 平方英里）已被移除，当局还帮助安装了估计 45,000 个可拆卸游泳池盖，从而在沙漠的高温中节省了至少 16 亿美元 加仑的蒸发水量。

你需要多少深度睡眠？相关须知

Gavin Kocott

今日美国

每个人都知道充足的睡眠至关重要。虽然很难说出睡眠周期的各个阶段，但深度睡眠带来的益处在每天早晨都能感受到。

第三阶段的睡眠，即深度睡眠，与身体恢复、免疫功能和记忆巩固相关。为了在早晨感到神清气爽，你可能会问需要多少深度睡眠，以及如何增加处于该状态的时间。宾夕法尼亚大学行为医学项目教授兼主任 Michael Potts 表示，一个人理想的深度睡眠量取决于多种因素，包括年龄、性别、活动水平和健康状况。

一个人需要多少深度睡眠？

德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校神经科学和生物医学工程教授 Matthew Walker 表示，对于 18 到 65, 岁的健康成年人，深度睡眠大约占整晚睡眠的 15% 到 25%——在 7 到 9 小时的总睡眠时间中，大约为 60 到 90 分钟。

但专家们一致认为，并没有一个统一的标准数字。

尽管如此，倾听身体的反应很重要。白天感到昏昏沉沉、记忆模糊以及难以集中注意力，可能是深度睡眠不足的迹象，不过这些也是整体睡眠不足的迹象，很难确定罪魁祸首是缺乏总睡眠量还是缺乏深度睡眠。

Walker 表示，真正的危险信号是持续地在醒来后感到没有恢复活力，即使在床上睡了整晚也是如此。他补充说，保护总睡眠量和规律的作息有助于深度睡眠更好地发挥作用。

如何增加深度睡眠时长？

你可以采取一些措施来增加深度睡眠时长，首先是停止破坏性的习惯并创造更好的环境。

这包括保持更规律的作息——Walker 表示，深度睡眠集中在前半夜，因此“一致且足够早的就寝时间能保护它”——以及保持卧室凉爽。因为大脑需要将核心温度降低大约 1 度才能进入深度睡眠，所以 65 到 67 度的卧室温度会有所帮助。

此外，早晨接触日光并在白天规律运动可以为进入深度睡眠铺平道路。在临睡前不应该做什么？Walker 表示，不要健身、喝酒和摄入咖啡因。

草莓是夏季最健康的水果之一

达里尔·奥斯汀 (Daryl Austin)

今日美国 (USA TODAY)

很少有水果能像草莓那样代表“夏天”。无论是出现在野餐、家庭团聚、后院烧烤还是泳池边聚会中，草莓长期以来一直是该季节最受喜爱的甜点之一。

康奈尔大学营养科学分部的注册营养师兼副教授劳拉·贝洛斯 (Laura Bellows) 表示，事实上，其“多功能性以及酸甜的口感”是这种水果如此受欢迎的主要原因。

但除了美味和清爽之外，草莓也是你可以食用的营养最丰富的水果之一。

草莓在每一口中都蕴含着惊人的营养，其中纤维是一种突出的营养素。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的注册营养师营养学家、营养与饮食学会发言人伊丽莎白·克林菲尔德 (Elizabeth Klingfeld) 表示，一杯草莓含有约 3 克的纤维，“这有助于消化，促进规律的排便，并降低各种胃肠道疾病的风险”。

草莓还提供锰（支持骨骼健康并改善代谢），以及叶酸（一种对细胞生长和 DNA 形成至关重要的 B 族维生素）。此外，草莓中的钾含量有助于维持健康的血压水平和正常的肌肉功能。

贝洛斯指出，“而且草莓是维生素 C 的强力来源”，维生素 C 是支持胶原蛋白产生、伤口愈合以及头发和皮肤健康的关键要素。事实上，1 杯草莓提供的维生素 C 比一个橙子还要多。

贝洛斯表示，草莓还可以成为健康体重管理计划中有价值的

草莓在每一口中都蕴含着惊人的营养，其中纤维是其最突出的营养素之一。 把它拿走！

一部分。原因之一是，1 杯的份量仅含 45 到 50 卡路里。它们还提供了水分和纤维的令人满足的组合，这能减缓消化并增加饱腹感。

由于草莓天然甜美，它们可以帮助满足对含糖食物的渴望，同时也可以作为甜点和加工零食的更健康替代品。

对于大多数人来说，草莓绝对可以成为健康日常饮食的一部分。尽管如此，仍有几个理由不能过量食用。

贝洛斯表示，虽然纤维含量通常被认为是益处，但这也是为什么“一次性吃大量草莓会导致胀气、排气或腹泻”的原因。基于同样的原因，消化系统敏感或患有肠易激综合征等疾病的人可能需要特别注意分量大小。

另一个考虑因素是农药接触。贝洛斯说，由于其皮肤具有多孔性，“草莓可能含有高水平的农药残留”。诀窍是在食用前正确冲洗草莓以降低风险。

福奇

接第 1A 页

斯塔利（Staley）和其他活动人士关于政府应对艾滋病的反应。私下里，福奇曾与他们共进晚餐并饮酒，花费数小时商讨如何将实验性药物快速提供给那些别无希望的艾滋病患者。

福奇想确保斯塔利没有受伤。那位困惑的警察难以置信地站在一旁，而斯塔利则笑着保证他没事。

“那是一个非凡的时刻，”斯塔利回忆道，在近 40 年后的今天，他仍与福奇保持着亲密友谊。

对于福奇来说，这将是他 56 年职业生涯中许多个人时刻之一，在这段职业生涯中，他成为了美国最受推崇——而在某些情况下，最受憎恨的——科学家和传染病专家。

他服务于从罗纳德·里根到乔·拜登的七任总统。他为领导者提供建议，应对炭疽袭击、埃博拉疫情以及在亚洲爆发的 SARS。他制定了美国针对艾滋病的全球攻击计划。

他是国家过敏和传染病研究所（National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases）的一员，该研究所隶属于美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）。福奇领导了对抗威胁美国人及全世界人们生命的疾病的斗争。

“他因为成功而成为了一个偶像，”在他在 2022 年退休后接任国家过敏和传染病研究所所长的珍妮·穆尔塔扎尔（Jeanne Murtazar）博士说道。

但由于唐纳德·特朗普总统的决定，新冠肺炎（COVID-19）大流行将使这位有着 10 年资历、白发苍苍、带着粗犷布鲁克林风格的医生，成为一个前所未有的争议焦点。

夹在科学与政治之间

福奇的工作经常使他处于政治与科学之间。

乔治·W·布什在他从事艾滋病（HIV和AIDS）研究时授予他总统自由勋章。在国会共和党人因他处理新冠肺炎（COVID-19）的方式而威胁要对其提起刑事指控后，拜登授予他总统勋章。福奇及其家人收到了如此之多的死亡威胁，以至于他拥有自己的安保团队，在特朗普撤销其由纳税人资助的保护后，这部分费用由他自行承担。

8月6日，一个拥有1000个席位的参议院小组以6-5的比分投票认定他藐视国会。一周前，他曾坐在这里经历了三个小时的质询，并拒绝回答关于他在疫情期间领导工作的问题。

委员会主席、来自肯塔基州的共和党参议员巴兹尔·保罗（Basil Paul）以及其他600名立法者指责他在病毒起源问题上误导公众。他们将疫情最严重时期的学校和企业关闭归咎于他。他们声称，由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助的研究被中国武汉的一个实验室用于制造新冠病毒。

福奇在这些日子里一直处于孤立状态。福奇继续维持其政府职务，他们认为他在公开场合和私下里对病毒起源的说法截然不同，在47次讨论中如此。他们将他描述为一个痴迷于名流和个人名声的人。他们用关于疫情时期政策、疫苗和口罩指南的严肃问题，以及关于星期几和房间地毯颜色的不严肃问题来质问他。

福奇超过300次地重复其家族姓氏。他援引了第五修正案中关于禁止强迫自证其罪的权利。

福奇的律师大卫·谢克特（David Schechter）拒绝了《今日美国》（USA TODAY）对福奇进行采访的请求。谢克特在一份声明中表示，保罗正在发起一场毫无根据的运动试图将福奇投入监狱，并且对他有一种“看似病态的”痴迷。

福奇从拜登那里获得的广泛且预先的赦免仅涵盖了从2016年到拜登任期结束的2025年1月的这段时间。他的律师担心保罗试图诱导福奇在宣誓后说出某些可能被误解并被用于起诉他的话。

福奇的辩护者表示，他被那些将政治置于科学之上的MAGA共和党人，以及那些对疫情期间强制关闭学校和政府命令封锁感到愤怒的人，不公正地塑造成了一个反派。

他们说，对于福奇而言，重点始终是科学。

“我从未见过他在私下里说一套，在公开场合说另一套，”杰罗姆·亚当斯（Jerome Adams）说道。他在特朗普的第一任期内担任卫生部长，并在疫情期间作为白宫委员会特遣队的成员与福奇每天一起工作。

亚当斯表示，像许多在政府工作的科学家一样，福奇明白科学、政策与

安东尼·福奇博士（左）表示，在2020年疫情初期公开反驳唐纳德·特朗普总统后，他感觉到一些人对他看法发生了转变。“他们热爱并支持总统，而将我视为领导者，”福奇说。（JAVENUS / NEUTON）

在健康危机期间与公众沟通的实际现实之间往往存在紧张关系。

“这些都是困难的判断，理智的人对此可能会有分歧，”亚当斯说。但“我一直觉得他是基于他认为最符合美国人民健康利益的原则行事，而不是出于政治或个人利益。”

父亲教会他帮助有需要之人的责任感

福奇将引导他从事医学和公共卫生事业的价值观归功于他的父母。

福奇出生于一个意大利裔美国人家庭，在布鲁克林第18大道和第83街其父亲药店上方的一套三居室公寓中长大。在他2024年的回忆录《值班：一名医生的公共服务之旅》（On Call: A Doctor's Journey to Public Service）中，他将自己的家庭描述为充满爱且关系紧密。

他的父亲斯蒂芬·安东尼·福奇（Stephen Anthony Fauci）在他记忆中是一个害羞的人，具有强烈的伦理感、正直且狂热。他每周六天，从上午9点到晚上10点经营药店。他仅在晚上休息67分钟与家人共进晚餐。

周日药店只开半天，福奇在柜台工作，负责结算处方药。在周末、学校假期和暑假期间，他骑着施温（Schwinn）自行车配送药物。

在此期间，他是雷吉斯高中（Regis High School）篮球队的首发控卫，该校是一所全男校的耶稣会学校。

福奇记得他的父亲会照顾那些负担不起药费的顾客。当他询问原因时，他的父亲回答道：“他们负担不起。他们生活艰辛。我们就先记账吧，”福奇在回忆录中写道。

有些账单从未被偿还。“父亲在生活中很早就教会了我们，”福奇回忆道，“因为我们很幸运，所以当我们能够提供帮助时，就有责任去帮助他人。”

他就读于康奈尔大学医学院，于1946年以年级第一的成绩毕业，并接受了美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的一项研究员职位。1968年，研究人体如何防御传染病和癌症。

除了在纽约医院工作的一年外，福奇在公共卫生事业的其余职业生涯中都留在美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）。

一个倾听的艾滋病专家

福奇对他读到的内容感到困惑。他在美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）办公桌上的一堆垃圾邮件中，拿起了一份政府的发病率和死亡率周报。其中一篇文章详细描述了五名原本健康的男性患上的一种不寻常的肺炎。

那是June 3, 1968, 艾滋病抵达了美国。

在接下来的十年里，艾滋病将演变成一场全球危机，并成为福奇职业生涯的重心，因为他领导了政府的应对工作。这种病毒将导致超过700,000名美国人死亡。

在疫情初期还没有可用治疗方案时，福奇曾接诊患者。他在美国国会作证，并敦促里根政府为艾滋病研究投入数十亿美元。福奇建立了一个研究项目，随后 100,000 破坏免疫系统。

在当时，艾滋病通常被视为死刑判决。由于福奇被视为联邦政府处理艾滋病案件的负责人，他成为了那些认为政府行动不够迅速的活动人士的目标。作家加里·克莱默（Gary Kramer）在1988年发表的一封公开信中称他为杀人犯。

两年后，即May 22, 1990, 数百名抗议者再次聚集在美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的办公室前。他们要求政府允许垂死的患者使用那些尚未获得政府批准但可能挽救生命的药物。

“我们意识到，我们唯一的救赎将来自科学，”斯泰利（Staley）说道，他离开了在华尔街的工作，成为了“艾滋病权力释放联盟”（ACT UP）的一名政治活动人士。

福奇对他的批评者表示同情，并做了一些其他政府官员不愿做的事情。斯泰利说，他发现福奇在办公室接见他们，随后在餐厅以及这位高层人士的家中进行长时间的葡萄酒。

讨论变得激烈。福奇倾听，真正地倾听，有时表示赞同，而在不同意时则强烈反驳。这些会议给了他一个在其他地方无法获得的机会。他通过任命艾滋病病毒（HIV）感染者共同监督艾滋病研究来做出回应。他敦促美国食品药品监督管理局允许数千人参加实验性药物临床试验。

出人意料的是，许多批评者变成了亲密的朋友。

“我对这家伙非常坦率，”斯泰利说，“这些年来我告诉他的话，很多 10 个人可能会因此终止友谊。”但“他想听到这些。他需要这种反馈。”

从受人尊敬的科学家到“唱反调的官僚”

到2020年初，新冠肺炎在美国迅速传播。

特朗普在2020年3月19日的一次白宫新闻简报会上宣布，抗疟药羟氯喹可能会成为新冠治疗的转折点，并声称仅凭文本结果就已显示出前景。第二天，在同一房间的一次简报会上，记者在特朗普身边询问福奇此事是否属实。

福奇在20世纪80年代是政府事实上的艾滋病负责人。1989年，在艾滋病研究员詹姆斯·梅森（James Mason）博士（左）和卫生与公共服务部部长路易斯·萨利文（Luis Sullivan）的陪同下，福奇详细介绍了研究人员的新发现，这些发现表明ACT药物可能会显著延长估计150 万名感染HIV的美国人的寿命。BETTMANN ARCHAS VIA GETTY AWARD

“羟氯喹没有效果，”他回答道，并补充说那些推崇该药物的人所引用的证据是轶事传闻，没有科学依据。

在同一场简报会上，特朗普将国务院称为“深层政府部”（Deep State Department），福奇用手掌遮住脸以掩饰自己的反应。那一刻的照片在网上疯传，迅速成为一个极具冲击力的场景。福奇注意到，他所经历的一切开始发生变化。

他曾是美国人信任的权威。他在电视上提供最新进展，回答记者的尖锐问题，并作为发布阻止冠状病毒传播的最新科学信息的发言人。

但在他公开反驳特朗普之后，福奇感觉到一些人对他看法发生了变化。

“虽然数百万美国人感激或钦佩我，但另一群人则以同样的方式看待我，认为我是在故意地，甚至是恶意地削弱特朗普总统，”他写道。“他们热爱并支持总统，将我视为敌人。对他们来说，我用手捂额头的那一刻证明了这一点。”

他和家人遭受了愤怒的电子邮件、短信和电话的轰炸。他们收到了死亡威胁。

在国会中，共和党人更频繁地针对福奇，并推行一种未经证实的理论，即冠状病毒是在西苏格兰的一个实验室中创造的，而非如福奇所信的那样是从动物传播给人类。

在2025年7月一次充满争议的参议院听证会上，保罗多次与福奇发生争执，并指责他在政府资助武汉研究的问题上撒谎。“参议员，如果这里有人在撒谎，”福奇反击道，“那就是你。”

这次激烈的交锋为上周保罗的参议院听证会铺平了道路。

福奇的许多想法以及科学界纷纷出面为他辩护。

费城儿童医院疫苗教育中心主任、传染病科主治医师保尔·奥菲特（Paul Offit）博士表示，在福奇和其他科学家试图遏制一个他们对其一无所知的病毒时，他确实在某些事情上出错了。

但“我认为他是这个职位的合适人选，”奥菲特说。他此前曾对新冠疫苗有效性的各项指标的可靠性提出质疑，并对一些关于独自行动的公共卫生建议提出疑问。“我认为他确实尝试清晰地解释事情。我认为他是一个理性的声音。”

他的辩护者认为，与其暗示福奇具有两面性——在私下和公开场合对病毒起源的说法不一——他的表现反而显示出他在获得新信息时会改变观点。

“如果你获得了证明有必要这么做的最新见解，那么改变你对新兴病毒这样一个复杂话题的看法是完全合理的，”康奈尔大学微生物学和免疫学教授约翰·摩尔（John Moore）说。“事实上，如果不这样做，反而是专业失职。”

与福奇交谈过的人表示，尽管承受着压力，他的精神状态良好且坚强。“他完全准备好完成这场战斗，”斯塔利（Staley）说。“我想如果这件事发生在我身上，我可能会崩溃。但他没有。”

他说，如果非要说的话，“我认为他回到了他最热爱的事情——当一名医生。”

在援引第五修正案之后两天，福奇回到了他四年前退休前一直工作的普罗威斯大学医学中心（prowess University Medical Center）。

在那里，远离混乱和摄像机，他安静地查房并照顾病人。

更绿色的街道能帮助城市在酷暑中生存

Steven Prono 特约评论员

近期欧洲的一场热浪导致数千人死亡，紧急救援人员正全力应对与高温相关的疾病。基础设施失效的报告也接踵而至，道路、公路和火车轨道在酷热中发生变形。

这种情况在美国各地也正在上演。美国中部和东部的极端气温使数百万人处于高温风险预警之中，与此同时，独立日庆祝活动也拉开了帷幕。

目前，News Transit 报告了系统性费用。现在，大量医疗团队被派往街头进行健康检查。世界杯组织者正竭力保护球迷免受体育场周围铺装密集区域危险高温的影响，向聚集在温度超过 120 度的路面上的人群分发饮用水和手持风扇。

城市如何应对高温？答案就在脚下

这些是对眼前危机的合理反应，但严重的热浪并不会消失。热浪是以汽车为中心的基础设施所导致的必然结果，这种基础设施导致了温室气体排放，使地球变暖，并将热量困在街道层面。

如果城市想要停止这种零敲碎打的防御，就必须解决潜伏在脚下的基础设施问题，以及最初将这些设施安置于此的规划假设。

许多城市采用了类似的以汽车为中心的发展模式，因此为了给混凝土基础设施让路，牺牲了调节温度的自然景观。

这些城市现在正面临着一些相同的挑战。

铺装路面通过吸收和辐射热量导致温度升高，同时也阻挡了原本可以

铺装路面通过吸收和辐射热量导致温度升高，同时也阻挡了原本可以提供遮荫和冷却的土壤和树冠覆盖。尽管铺装路面让环境变得更热，但其在高温下的表现却很糟糕。PETER ALEXANDRA / USA TODAY NETWORK

随着热浪加剧，想要繁荣发展的城市需要对什么才让一个地方宜居有更深刻的洞察。

提供遮荫和冷却。尽管铺装路面让环境变得更热，但其在高温下的表现却很糟糕。

当混凝土过热时，它会膨胀并破裂。从西雅图到威斯康星州，再到德国，随着道路在极端高温下变形，铺装路面在工作中失效了。

自然景观能够自我再生，树木落叶后成为养分，滋养土壤并促进新生长。相比之下，铺装路面则在延续导致其失效的条件。

如今，城市既失去了健康土壤和树冠的冷却效益，也没有得到铺装路面本应提供的可靠基础设施。

地方政府正展示如何摆脱对铺装路面的依赖

地方公职人员开始将铺装路面视为问题的一部分，这是迈向变革的关键第一步。

在伦敦，市长 Sathy Phase 的办公室制定了一份操作指南，以鼓励社区主导的去铺装项目。同样，意大利批准了其总体规划的更新，将去铺装确定为政府土地利用权限中的一项关键工具。

像巴黎和洛杉矶这样的城市则更进一步，通过值得关注的项目尝试去铺装，并为拆除量设定了可量化的目标。前巴黎市长 Anne Hildig 在其任期内管理了具有影响力的项目，包括对市政厅前一个公共广场的象征性改造。

在洛杉矶县，官员们采用了去铺装目标，旨在到 2045 年拆除 1,600 英亩的铺装路面，并用绿色基础设施取而代之。

在必要的铺装与必要的绿色廊道之间取得平衡

并非所有铺装都适合拆除。出于多种原因，街道和人行道需要保持通畅。

然而，在广场或道路中央分隔带等非必要区域拆除不必要的铺装，并用树木和雨水花园等植被表面取而代之，可以在提高热舒适度的同时，减少给关键基础设施带来压力的极端情况。

城市中多余铺装的数量可能高于居民的预期。我的机构近期开展的一项研究显示，洛杉矶县多达 44% 的铺装可能在功能上并非必要。

在该研究的语境下，“必要”铺装被定义为用于物业使用且不需要停车位的铺装。然而，这引发了一场更广泛的政策讨论，即诸如最低停车位要求之类的规定，应当被视为固定约束，还是应当予以修订以进一步减少不必要的铺装。

哥伦比亚的麦德林展示了将空间回收给生命系统后所能实现的可能。该市的“绿色廊道”计划用茂密的植被取代了道路边缘，已经使城市温度降低了 2 摄氏度——且预计会有进一步的降温效果。打破这种模式需要对治理进行重新构想，从统治土地转变为参与到让这个日益衰弱的世界得以生存的生命系统中。

“别塞进他的鼻子里”：一位父亲关于全年制学校的计划

贾斯汀·伯吉斯（Just Burgess） 今日美国

所以，这与其说是一篇评论专栏，不如说是一篇……别打你弟弟！

杰里，关于那个。我在说，这其实不是一篇专栏，而是一个……把面包放好，我，但故事。

再次抱歉。这不是一篇专栏，而是一个紧急面相。我是在一种超越我们疲惫不堪且烟雾缭绕的状态下写它的，家里人会看到，或者可能是我的州首府或华盛顿的学校官员或政治人物会看到。

但即便那些政策制定者注意到了地平线上微弱的光芒，我担心他们也不会理解或做出回应。

因为如果他们有学龄儿童……我告诉过你关掉电视……现在就关！我假设他们的孩子一直在参加夏季的，“怀孕”，过夜营、体育营、日间营。或者也许他们有一位能够负担得起在暑假期间不工作，并且能够陪伴并管理孩子的家长。

或者也许，他们找到了圣杯。也许他们的孩子在全年制学校就读。

虽然这种暑假较短、假期更均匀地分布在整个学年中的系统在美国并不常见，但我认为它应该是常态。我的妻子也这么认为，她现在正像在计算刑期结束一样，在为开学第一天做倒计时。

其益处包括为父母提供经济保障和心理健康，以及为孩子提供更好的教育、健康甚至安全。

我往往会忘记暑假有多长。直到夏天到来。然后，就太迟了。

到那时，我们将迎来又一个。它周的“难道不能觉得太棒了，我们可以

爸爸。祝你好运，试着让他们离开屏幕足够长的时间去拿起一本书……停止禁足，我说，“书”，它是纸做的，而且会告诉你事情。

夏季学习机会、可靠的饮食和安全感共同发挥作用

8月 5. 日，田纳西州科利尔维尔的学生在父母的陪同下迎来开学第一天。詹姆斯·戴维森 今日美国网络

在家工作，”除了“电视和屏幕的声音大到让我没法思考”。

尽管如此，能够远程工作是许多家长并不具备的一项优势。

如果他们负担不起让孩子参加夏令营，希望有他们负担得起且能提供……别把那个塞进他的鼻子里！抱歉——能提供一个安全、养育环境的东西。

从难以负担的夏令营到学校提供的避风港

我们地区的夏令营在北卡罗来纳州的山区拥有绝佳的环境。

但对我们来说，这些营地难以负担，因为其中很多营地专注于接待居住在我们地区之外的高收入家庭的孩子。有些营地每周的费用高达 $2,000 以上。

虽然有一些变化，而且夏季项目甚至更少了，但名额有限，很难通过这种方式拼凑出一个夏天。

我原以为我知道学校暑假的历史——在更偏向农业的过去，孩子们被需要去农场工作。但这显然不是事实，因为春季和秋季实际上才是农场的繁忙季节。

真正发生的情况是，在空调普及之前，学校建筑内部热得让人心烦意乱。随着越来越多的家庭能够负担得起度假旅行，学校在最热的月份关闭。

现在，总统正将方向转向另一端，家庭度假和夏令营变得越来越难以负担。与此同时，学校安装了空调，而我那有着百年历史的房子却没有，除了几个能让我们在夏天入睡的卧室窗户。气候变化是真实的。问问我的孩子们就知道了。

另一件真实的事情是夏季学习流失，有时被称为“胃部下滑”（stomach slide）。就我个人而言，我能看到孩子们的数学知识每天在脑海中流失。而且，想要让他们离开屏幕足够长的时间去拿起一本书，得祝你好运……别在那儿乱搞了，我说的是，“书”，它是用纸做的，能告诉你事情。

夏季学习机会、可靠的饮食和安全共同发挥作用

这种下滑对于低收入家庭的孩子来说可能尤为严重。一项长期的半时研究发现，贫困儿童在学术上落后于富裕儿童的最大原因是缺乏夏季学习机会。

夏天也可能是饥饿的时刻。在学年期间，有超过 1220 万 名符合收入条件的美国学生食用免费或减价早餐，2110 万 名学生食用免费或减价午餐。一旦失去了食堂，其中许多学生就会失去一到两顿可靠的餐食。

同样不足为奇的是，长期缺乏每日结构和监督会增加儿童卷入犯罪的风险，无论是作为受害者还是加害者。枪支是美国青少年的首要死因，这一事实提高了这些风险。

涉及未成年人的枪击事件是我家乡不幸地非常熟悉的事情。有时在我家，我们离得足够近，能听到枪声。

我看到的一种旨在帮助孩子在漫长的暑假期间远离麻烦的选择是结构化的工作和志愿者项目。

这并不是个坏主意。但我知道另一个能帮助孩子保持安全、喂饱他们、教育他们，并让他们的父母能够保住工作且保持理智的方法：全年制学校。

别用皮搋子清理那个！

$1B in student loan debt set to be canceled, advocate said

Mike Snider

今日美国

在一场涉及约 230 亿美元 billion 取消贷款的集体诉讼战中，预计将有超过 170,000 名借款人的学生贷款债务获得处理。

在该案中（于 2019, 提起），由于掠夺性营利学校误导或欺诈，数名学生根据“借款人防御”（Borrower Defense）规则向美国教育部申请联邦学生贷款救济。代表原告提起诉讼的“掠夺性学生贷款项目”（Project on Predatory Student Lending）表示，尽管拜登政府在 2022, 达成了和解，但特朗普政府继续延迟向借款人提供救济。

教育部最近一次试图将借款人救济和解时间表推迟 18 个月的请求，在 7月 17 日被联邦上诉法院驳回。“掠夺性学生贷款项目”总裁兼执行董事艾琳·康纳（Eileen Connor）告诉今日美国，这意味着约 110 亿美元 billion 的贷款将为超过 170,000 名未能在借款人防御申请中获得及时决定的借款人予以豁免。

康纳表示，总体而言，这起最初名为“斯威特诉德沃斯及教育部”（Sweet vs. DeVos and the Department of Education）的案件，将为约 500,000 人带来至少 230 亿美元 billion 的联邦学生贷款救济。

她说：“就提供的货币救济而言，‘斯威特案’是美国历史上规模最大的集体诉讼和解案，也是针对联邦政府达成的最大规模和解案。它也是美国各类和解案中规模最大的案件之一。”

康纳表示，最近的法院裁决“明确表明，联邦政府不能在不承担后果的情况下，简单地无视借款人的权利及其自身的法律义务”。

这起学生贷款集体诉讼是关于什么的？

包括曾就读于布鲁克斯摄影学院（Brooks Institute of Photography）的加利福尼亚州女性特蕾莎·斯威特（Theresa Sweet）在内的九名原告起诉了当时由贝齐·德沃斯（Betsy DeVos）领导的教育部，指控该部门未能取消处于借款人救济状态的联邦学生贷款债务。

在 2019 年的最初法院文件中，借款人们表示：“这些学校实际上交付的是毫无价值的产品，导致学生背负数千美元的债务，信用受损，且无法获得进一步的学生资助。”

借款人在案件中辩称，教育部在 2017 年1月开始忽视“日益堆积的借款人防御申请，削减了决定借款人防御申请的能力，并将日益有限的资源转向——全部——前任政府的工作”。

根据该案件，在等待贷款豁免发放期间，许多人无法获得他们希望有资格获得的工作，许多人无法获得购买房屋或汽车的贷款资格。

报告称，美国经济在7月份流失 23,000 个就业岗位

最新数据表明劳动力市场走弱

Rachel Barber

今日美国（USA TODAY）

美国雇员在7月份减少了 23,000 个工作岗位，这一数字远低于分析师的预期，且5月和6月就业增长数据的下修反映出劳动力市场比此前估计的更为疲软。

美国劳工统计局在 8 月 7 日报告的 7 月就业人数下降，此前在 2025. 年就业创造处于历史低位并有所反弹后，6 月的招聘速度有所放缓。7 月的预估值低于该部门目前修正后的预估增幅，即 6 月增加 20,000 个岗位和 5 月增加 43,000 个岗位。

7 月的失业率小幅下降至 4.1%。在连续三个月稳定在 4.3% 之后，失业率在 6 月降至 4.2%，尽管一些专家将此次下降归因于寻找工作的人数减少，而非雇佣人数的显著增加。劳动力参与率在 7 月下降至 61.4%，为 2021 年 2 月以来的最低读数，且较 6 月的 65.5% 略有下降。

ZipRecruiter 劳动力经济学家 Nicole Bachand 在给《今日美国》的一份简报中表示：“由于就业机会依然稀缺，更多的工人正完全退出劳动力市场。”

劳工统计局表示，7 月份私营非农工资单雇员的平均每小时收入增长了 2 美分，达到 $37.62。在过去的 12 个月里，该收入增长了 3.2%，低于 6 月记录的消费者价格同比 3.5% 的涨幅。该局将于 8 月 12 日发布的消费者价格指数报告将揭示雇员的工资单在 7 月是否跟上了通货膨胀的速度。

7 月是今年 2 月以来美国经济首次出现就业岗位减少。7 月也是 2026 年失业率首次降至 4.1%。

哪些部门失去了工作岗位？哪些部门仍在招聘？

医疗保健通常是可靠的就业增长引擎，是 7 月份唯一出现显著增长的行业，增加了 22,000 个岗位。尽管这一数字仍代表增长，但低于该部门过去 12 个月每月平均 36,000 个岗位的增幅。

LinkedIn 美洲经济主管 Kory Kanterga 表示，在医疗保健之外，“招聘几乎没有动力。尽管今年早些时候有相反的猜测，但这并不是一个正在重新加速的劳动力市场。”

劳工统计局表示，地方政府教育部门的就业人数在过去一年几乎没有净变化后，在 7 月减少了 50,000 人。零售贸易减少了 19,000 个岗位，金融活动部门失去了 14,000 个岗位。

在其他行业中，包括社会援助、建筑、制造业、专业和商业服务以及休闲和酒店业，就业人数从 6 月到 7 月几乎没有变化。

虽然该局的就业报告通常被认为是劳动力市场数据的金标准，但 ADF 在 8 月 5 日发布的国家就业报告也提供了私营部门招聘趋势的视角。它讲述了一个不同的故事，表明 Robert L.S. 雇主在 7 月增加了 44,000 个岗位，其中 36,000 个岗位由教育和健康服务部门增加。

ADF 报告发现，包括金融活动、专业和商业服务、信息、建筑和制造业在内的几个其他行业的招聘有所增加。报告还发现，休闲和酒店业、贸易、运输和公用事业以及自然资源和采矿业的招聘有所下降。

美国就业市场整体情况如何？

经济学家认为定义了 2025 年美国劳动力市场的“低买低卖”（low-bye, low-fan）动态可能已经回归，如果它曾经消失过的话。

劳工部 8 月 4 日发布的数据显示，离职率，即……

解析美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）关于外国制造机器人的规定

格蕾塔·克罗斯 (Greta Cross)

今日美国 (USA TODAY)

扫地机器人 Roomba 可能正受到美国政府的打击。

美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）于 7 月 28 日宣布，由于国家安全威胁，将禁止新型外国制造的机器人设备。虽然没有明确列出，但 Roomba 以及其他在国外制造的自给自足式吸尘器可能会在禁令之列。

副通信主任兼政策顾问威尔·韦奎斯特 (Will Wequist) 在《今日美国》获得的一份声明中向《今日美国》确认，该禁令确实涵盖了吸尘器。此前， 的母公司表示：“我们已知晓 最近的行动，并正与他们合作，以更好地了解其执行情况和潜在影响。我们仍致力于为客户提供服务，并将随更多信息的公布分享最新进展。”

以下是我们目前了解到的新 法规可能如何影响 以及其他非美国制造的机器人吸尘器的情况。

符合认定标准

更新后的禁令将“先进机器人设备”定义为能够进行“地面移动、避障、导航或运动”的“机械移动设备”。这些设备还需在远离人类操作员的情况下运行，重量超过 4.4 磅，并具备能够感知环境的传感器、提供蓝牙、Wi-Fi 或蜂窝连接的组件，或控制设备导航的软件（如机器学习模型的固件）。

根据这些定义， 和许多家用机器人清洁设备均在禁令之列。

它们是在哪里制造的？

尽管 iRobot 于 2012, 在美国推出了 且是一家美国公司，但 iRobot 已于 1 月被中国制造商深圳普罗瓦机器人 (Shenzhen Prova Robotics) 收购。

根据宣布该消息的新闻稿，普罗瓦机器人 (Prova Robotics) 在中国和越南设有研发和制造设施。

禁令不会影响

您家中的

如果 对“先进机器人设备”的禁令确实影响到 ，该禁令将仅影响新制造的产品。禁令不会使您家中的 变得非法。

有在美国制造的机器人吸尘器吗？

绝大多数吸尘器和机器人吸尘器是在美国境外制造的。除了 之外，Dywnica 新加坡，Black 产品在中国和越南制造。Robotics 总部位于 Baji

一台 iRobot 650 1 正在清理地板上的污垢。

和 Ecovacs 总部位于中国苏州。

然而，有一家总部位于美国的机器人公司生产名为 'static' 的吸尘器。但与市场上的其他产品相比，它带有一个 belly pinx 袋。最新的 Matic 机器人吸尘器（含底座）售价为 81,245. 作为对比，类似的新款 价格在 $200 到 $700, 之间，后者包含自动集尘底座。

就业

6 月份的裁员人数和职位空缺与前一个月相比几乎没有变化。

这种动态导致求职者面临一个竞争激烈的市场。LinkedIn 的数据显示，该平台上每个职位的申请人数在 7 月份有所增加，这表明许多人仍然发现很难找到工作。

“不仅仅是因为有新的目标进入市场。这种情况每年都会发生，”Kanteaga 表示。“我们还没有看到有那么多职位可供此类人员寻找。这种情况自 2022 年的高点以来一直在下降。在过去一年里一直相对稳定，但也没有增加。”

与此同时，在职员工仍然担心被裁员且情绪低落。Open doors 员工满意度指数（该指数可让人们一窥员工对其公司发展方向的看法）在 7 月份跌至历史低点。报告“六个月业务前景积极”的员工比例下降至 43.5%。

Glassdoor 的首席经济学家 Daniel Zhao 表示，虽然调查问题专门询问业务前景，但他知道员工在回答时会考虑多种因素。他说，在低迷的市场中，即使是在职员工也会担心自己获得下一份工作、晋升或加薪的能力。

“显然，员工觉得目前的就业市场并没有对他们有利，”Zhao 说道，并补充道，仅仅因为某人已经就业，“并不意味着他们得到了他们想要的职业机会。”

美国就业市场的走向如何？

根据 Challenge, Gray & Stone 公司的报告，美国员工在 7 月份宣布了 33,420 个裁员名额，比 6 月份下降了 27%，为两年来的最低月度总数。该公司基于宣布的裁员计划显示，今年前七个月的裁员计划比 2025 年同期下降了 48%。

连续第 60 个月，人工智能成为公司引用裁员理由的首要原因。7 月份的大部分裁员出现在技术和运输部门。

另一方面，报告称，雇主宣布计划在 7 月份招聘 16,000 人，比 6 月份增长 47%，为 2022 年以来的最高总数。今年以来，招聘计划比 2021 年同期增长了 25%。

“雇主的招聘人数比去年此时更多，这延续了我们自 2020 年以来看到的趋势，”该公司的职场专家兼首席营收官 Andy Challenger 在随报告发布的一份声明中表示。“需求体现在航空航天、能源和制造业，即在车间而非屏幕前开展的工作。”

这对美联储和利率意味着什么？

这份报告是政策制定者在 9 月份下一次利率决定之前将审阅的许多联邦新闻之一。到那时，政策制定者将拥有最大规模的就业报告可供回顾，以及 7 月和 8 月的通胀数据。

“就就业而言，我们初步认为 8 月份可能会出现反弹，但美联储的决定更有可能取决于通胀情况，”DeSic 银行 JNU 的首席国际经济学家 James Knightley 在给《今日美国》（USA TODAY）的一份简报中表示。当美联储担心劳动力市场放缓时，通常会提高基准利率以帮助抑制通胀并降低成本。

“美联储理想的组合是通胀回归活动，同时劳动力市场走弱，”K法国国家赛马博彩公司 (PMU) Economist 首席经济学家兼董事总经理 Diane Steenk 在 7 月就业报告发布后的一份单独简报中表示。

在美联储主席 Kevin Wundz 暗示市场已经在替美联储承担部分抗击通胀的工作后，美联储观察人士发现 9 月份的决定难以预测。

在 7 月就业报告发布之前，交易员对于美联储的资产变动几乎平分秋色，约一半的人押注将下调 0.25 个百分点，另一半则认为政策制定者将继续把联邦基金利率维持在 3.5% 至 3.75% 的区间。根据 CME FedWatch 的数据，报告发布后，更多的人预计将暂停调整。

和解协议

一名学生告诉法院，在等待其 2022 年 6 月被受理的借款人申诉申请得到解决期间，她的贷款总额已从约 $250,000 增加到 $400,000 以上。

“这个案件一直关于借款人们共同投票，为正确的事情挺身而出，”斯威特（Sweet）在 7 月 23 日的一份新闻稿中表示。

“2022 年的法律，在过去七年的起伏中，我们基于‘发生在我们身上的事情是错误的’这一信念成为了一个共同体，而且很明显，有如此多的人受到了同一个破碎系统的伤害。”

拜登政府达成的 2022 年和解协议已经为 500,000 名学生提供了 60 亿美元 billion 的联邦学生贷款债务减免。但 FPM 表示，由于在法庭斗争期间积压了超过 200,000 份申请，这起贯穿了两届政府的学生贷款案件已涉及多达 500,000 名借款人。

法院维持和解协议截止日期的决定是“一次非凡的消费者保护胜利”，美国的一位名为康纳（Connor）的人士表示。

“它迫使联邦政府处理大约 50 万件长期被忽视的索赔，并使绝大多数借款人有权获得完整的和解救济——包括取消他们本不该承担的债务、修正信用报告，以及在适用情况下，退还他们已经支付的款项。它还明确了联邦政府不能在不承担后果的情况下，简单地无视借款人的权利及其自身的法律义务。”

我如何知道我的学生贷款是否受到影响？

新的借款救济申请人不符合此次和解协议的条件。这一决定应使 2022 年提交借款人申诉申请的约 170,000 人获得贷款救济。

教育部清除借款人贷款债务的最终截止日期是 15, 2027.。借款人在等待贷款豁免决定期间无需进行还款。

根据该和解协议，被豁免的联邦学生贷款平均余额超过 $48,000.。康纳告诉 CNBC：“不过，个人金额差异很大，许多借款人收到的金额明显更多或更少，”她说道。

有关和解协议和救济流程的更多详情，请访问欺诈学生贷款项目（The Project on Feodatory Student Loans）网站。

原原告群体成员已等待救济长达一年半之久，FPM 已向教育部和司法部发送了关于严重违反和解协议的正式通知。

计划

随着劳动者年龄增长，退休计划发生变化

来自财产和意外险经纪及福利顾问公司 NFP 的 2026 Retirement Trend Report 显示，随着劳动者年龄的增长，退休预期在逐渐演变。

NFP 报告称，在 35 岁以下的劳动者中，只有 12% 的人表示预计社会保障金将成为他们退休后的主要收入来源。但对于 16 至 54 岁的劳动者，这一数字上升到 22%，而对于 35 岁及以上的劳动者，则上升到 45%。

另一份退休报告——来自员工福利研究协会（Employee Benefit Research Institute）的 2026 Retirement Confidence Survey 显示了类似的趋势。随着劳动者年龄的增长，社会保障金在他们的退休计划中占据的分量越来越重。

在 25-34, 岁的劳动者中，只有 12% 的人表示预计社会保障金将是退休收入的主要来源。对于 55-64, 岁的劳动者，这一数字上升到 44%。

该 EBR 报告基于 2026 年 1 月对 2,000 多名劳动者和退休人员的调查。

退休报告称，一些美国退休人员可以依靠社会保障金作为收入并维持生活。但近一半的人可能不行。

“那太高了，”EBR 财富福利研究主任克雷格·科普兰（Craig Copeland）说。“我说的是也许只有 10% 的人能做到，”他表示，而且“这些人将无法过上高质量的退休生活。”

社会保障在退休中的作用

在退休规划行业中，关于社会保障在一名美国雇员的退休计划中应扮演多大角色，存在着激烈的争论。

财务规划师敦促人们节省数十万甚至数百万美元，以在退休后补充社会保障。

一个经验法则建议，劳动者可以在退休账户中节省其年收入的10倍。

金融服务公司发布了基于调查得出的“巨额”数字估算，这些调查询问美国人认为他们需要多少钱才能舒适地退休。最近的一份报告将这个神奇的数字定为$1.200 万。

美国劳动者阅读了这些报告。一百万美元退休金的想法可能会加剧对退休的恐惧。

“当人们看到‘你需要$200 万才能退休’时，这会让他们感到沮丧，”NFP的财富管理实践负责人Steve Jain表示。

在NFP的报告中，66%的劳动者表示他们有信心能够实现舒适的退休。超过70%的人表示他们的退休储蓄“偏离了轨道”。

这项于7月发布的调查结果源自对1,000名参与家庭财务规划决策的在职成年人的调查。

舒适退休真的需要$1 million吗？

在退休规划争论的另一方，专家们强调大多数人不需要为退休节省七位数金额。他们指出，数百万美国人在退休时几乎没有或完全没有储蓄，而他们中的大多数人似乎过得很好。

根据Transamerica退休研究中心一项2025年的退休调查，典型的退休人员家庭储蓄仅为$182,000。

其他调查表明，只有大约一半的退休人员拥有任何退休储蓄。

尽管如此，调查显示大多数退休人员在财务上是稳定的。

在2026年4月的一项盖洛普（Gallup）民意调查中，82%的退休人员表示他们有足够的钱过舒适的生活。

在2025年的联邦家庭经济与去殖民化调查中，83%的60岁以上美国人表示他们在财务上要么是“生活舒适”，要么是“过得还可以”。

盖洛普的民意调查说明了退休人员对社会保障的依赖程度之深。当民调机构要求退休人员列出他们的主要收入来源时，62%的人说是社会保障。只有27%的人提到了退休储蓄。

“当我深入美国农村地区……社会保障是退休人员的主要收入来源，而且他们似乎能让它发挥作用，”Jain表示。

“你不应该期望（社会保障）成为你的主要收入来源，”他说。“但现实是，对许多人来说，它确实是。”

部分退休人员对社会保障金的依赖程度高于他人

虽然退休专家可能不建议退休人员仅依赖社会保障金，但某些退休人员可能比其他人更依赖该信托基金。

尤其是低收入美国人，可以预期社会保障金将替代其工作年限内收入的大部分。

社会保障福利具有累进性。你的收入越低，在社会保障支票中拿回的比例就越高。社会保障金可替代每月最高 $1,286 的 95% 收入。对于 $1,296 至 $7,749 之间的部分，替代率下降至 32%；而对于超过 $7,749 的部分，替代率则为 35%。

其他因素也可能使退休人员在退休后更沉重地依赖社会保障金。例如，已经全额偿还抵押贷款的房主，其每月支出可能会较低。

EBR 的 Copeland 表示：“如果你是一个低收入者，且拥有住房且不再支付抵押贷款，你可能主要依靠社会保障金就能维持生活。”

然而，这一切都不能保证低收入美国人在依赖社会保障金的情况下能过上舒适的退休生活。

NUSA 的 Johnston 表示：“我们知道有 900 万 名老年人的年收入低于 $20,000。我们经常听到关于老年人在支付房租还是支付药费之间做出艰难选择的消息。”

水晶球预言

Nate Davis 预测所有 32 支 NFL 球队的记录：按分区划分的最佳、中等和最差球队

Nate Davis 今日美国

巨大的期待。

洛杉矶公羊队所处的环境并不完全像狄更斯笔下的世界那样艰苦，但他们进入 NFL 赛季时的排场和仪式感将不亚于近期记忆中的任何一支球队，包括王朝时期的新英格兰爱国者队和堪萨斯城酋长队。

在 2024 和 '25（25）两个赛季结束时，洛杉矶公羊队可以说成为了联盟中第二强的球队，现在他们采取了“要么赢得超级碗，要么彻底失败”的态度——主教练 Sean McVay 和总经理 Lev Sissod 在经历了一个活跃的自由球员签约期和一次相当离奇的选秀后，于 6 月 1. 惊人地签下了现任年度最佳防守球员 Myles Garrett，他或许是 NFL 中最顶尖的人才。接下来？他们甚至可能让史上最伟大的防守球员之一 Aaron Donald 回归。

在整个上个赛季，我一直坚定地支持公羊队——而且，这要归功于西雅图海鹰队——我仍然认为 MVP Matthew Stafford 及其队友距离在五个赛季中赢得第二次超级碗胜利仅差一两次运气波动。Garrett 以及前堪萨斯城后卫 Trent McDuffie 和 Jaylen Watson 的到来，加上 Donald 极有可能回归，显然将加强他们在 2025 年本就经常令人畏惧的防守线——尽管这道防守线在赛季末于西雅图遭遇第二次失利时显得精疲力竭。

虽然我已经紧紧地坐上了这辆突然变得拥挤的追随者之车——与大多数知名投注服务机构一起——但竞争格局，从卫冕冠军海鹰队开始，依然像往常一样引人入胜。在 NPC 中似乎出现了其他强有力的挑战者，而 AFC 则是本赛季 10 位新主教练中的 7 位所在之地，预计将是一群潜在竞争者的混合体，其中包括酋长队以及一些他们在近几个赛季中必须抵御的常客，尽管去年的表现极其糟糕。

那么，本赛季究竟会发生什么？公羊队真的能赢得一切，还是会出现

后台深刻视角 名人点

罗杰·克雷格披露患痴呆症触动众人

俄亥俄州坎顿 —— 在罗杰·克雷格通过一段30分钟的录像接受演讲宣布自己被诊断出患有痴呆症后几分钟，埃米特·史密斯从我身边走过，摇了摇头。

“这是一场残酷的游戏，”美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）历史上的冲球纪录保持者史密斯说道。当时我正站在舞台的一个侧入口附近，职业橄榄球名人堂的入选仪式于Aug. 8 inside Tom Benson Stadium举行。

66, 岁的克雷格曾随旧金山49人队三次赢得超级碗，并在1985年成为NFL历史上首位在同一赛季内冲球码数达到1,000码且接球码数达到1,000码的球员。但在演讲中，这位跑卫坦然承认——毫无遗憾地——医生怀疑他在橄榄球职业生涯期间遭受的脑震荡可能导致了他的病情。

这正是前达拉斯牛仔队球星史密斯在克雷格令人心碎的披露之后，在瞬间所思考的内容。

“你学到了很多，”史密斯继续说道，“它在教导你。但，该死。”

在舞台上接受了一群49人队名人堂成员（包括前室友罗尼·洛特、乔·蒙塔纳、杰里·赖斯、查尔斯·哈利、史蒂夫·杨和埃迪·德巴托洛）的深情簇拥后，克雷格迅速回到后台，与他新揭幕的半身像合影。十多名家人陪在他身边，包括他的儿子罗格迪克，后者一直陪伴在他左右。

在某些方面，他依然是那个为NFL最高效进攻线之一带来如此多活力的罗杰·克雷格 —— 充满活力、能量和积极态度。

他张开双臂，望向天空大喊道：“这就是我的家人！这太棒了！”

克雷格为了这一刻等待了28年，他在一些队友入选数十年后，作为资深候选人最终入选。“我大概知道迟早会发生这件事，”克雷格告诉《今日美国》体育版，“我只是在等待。”

尽管在进入名人堂的道路上等待了很长时间，但克雷格和他的家人确保获得橄榄球最高荣誉不仅仅是为了他个人。得体的罗格迪克表示，公开披露其父亲脑部疾病的诊断结果（痴呆症症状包括认知功能丧失，包括记忆受损和推理能力下降）“至关重要” —— 因为提高意识可能会帮助其他橄榄球运动员。“有很多球员在面对这种情况，但他们不发声。等到他们年老时，已经太晚了。我们非常支持尽早采取主动措施”

NBA 实力排名

在动荡的休赛期寻找落脚点

洛伦佐·雷耶斯 (Lorenzo Reyes)

今日美国 (USA TODAY)

正如预期的那样，这个 NBA 休赛期动荡不安。

顶级 5 球员扬尼斯·安特托昆博被交易到了迈阿密热火队。另一位全明星成员杰伦·布朗也即将变动——在他这个案例中，他将前往费城 76 人队，而 76 人队是波士顿凯尔特人队的分区竞争对手。而这一代最伟大的球星勒布朗·詹姆斯将加入他的第四支球队，这将是他创纪录的第 24 个赛季。他将与布朗一起在费城效力。

这些仅仅是部分变动。随着大多数主要的自由球员签约完成，以及 NBA 选秀已成过去式，以下是《今日美国》体育 NBA 休赛期实力排名：

Top 10

1. 纽约尼克斯，53-29（2025-26 赛季常规赛战绩）！
2. 圣安东尼奥马刺，62-20
3. 俄克拉荷马城雷霆，64-08
4. 费城 76 人，45-37
5. 底特律活塞，60-22
6. 丹佛掘金，54-28
7. 明尼苏达森林狼，49-33
8. 休斯顿火箭，52-30
9. 克利夫兰骑士，52-30
10. 洛杉矶湖人，53-29

卫冕冠军尼克斯队基本保持原样，尽管他们失去了米切尔·罗宾逊，但依然是所有人试图追赶的对象。然而，这里最大的变动无疑是 76 人队，他们在被尼克斯队在分区半决赛中横扫后，彻底改造了阵容。杰伦·布朗和勒布朗·詹姆斯的突然加入，让 76 人队拥有了联盟中最豪华的先发阵容之一。现在，他们能保持健康吗？

这组名单中一支有趣的球队是森林狼队，他们显然意识到安东尼·爱德华兹在创造空间和控球方面需要更多帮助。朱利叶斯·兰德尔和 Nuc Red 离队，而朗梅洛·鲍尔加盟，这可能是本休赛期最极端的“要么大获全胜，要么惨败”的举动。然后

是湖人队，他们失去了詹姆斯并全力押注沃克·凯斯勒。这些变动旨在围绕卢卡·东契奇和奥斯汀·比夫斯构建球队，但新成员可能需要时间来磨合。即便如此，目前尚不清楚洛杉矶是否真的有所提升。

Nos. 11-20

11. 波士顿凯尔特人，56-26
12. 迈阿密热火，43-39
13. 多伦多猛龙，46-36
14. 印第安纳步行者，19-63
15. 亚特兰大鹰，46-36
16. 波特兰开拓者，42-40
17. 奥兰多魔术，45-37
18. 犹他爵士，22-60
19. 芝加哥公牛，35-51
20. 菲尼克斯太阳，45-37

虽然热火队确实得到了目前可用且真正的联盟 5 天赋球员扬尼斯·安特托昆博，但这依然是一支存在缺陷的球队。迈阿密在防守端应该会表现出色，但快速投篮和创造投篮机会仍然是个问题。在很大程度上，人们似乎忽视了步行者队，如果明星控卫蒂雷塞·哈利伯顿没有在第七场比赛早期遭遇跟腱断裂，他们很可能已经赢得了 2014-15 赛季的 NBA 总决赛。哈利伯顿将回归，而伊维卡·祖巴茨增强了印第安纳在内线的存在感。

爵士队是另一支有趣的球队，现在我们可以看到他们摆烂的成果，用第 2 顺位选中了达伦·彼得森，加上去年通过交易获得且经过一个休赛期适应的杰森·杰克逊二世，这使得犹他成为下赛季胜场数提升最显著的有力竞争者。而公牛队在加入第 4 顺位新秀卡莱布·威尔逊和诺曼·鲍威尔，并聘请蒂亚戈·斯普利特成为主教练后，也可能成为低调的竞争者。

Nos. 21-30

21. 金州勇士，37-45
22. 夏洛特黄蜂，44-38
23. 达拉斯独行侠，26-56
24. 华盛顿奇才，17-65
25. 洛杉矶快船，42-40
26. 孟菲斯格里兹利，25-57

勒布朗·詹姆斯将加入 NBA 大西洋分区的 76 人队，与乔尔·恩比德并肩作战。JAYNE KAMIN-O'KCEA / MASON RANGER

27. 新奥尔良鹈鹕，26-56
28. 密尔沃基雄鹿，32-50
29. 萨克拉门托国王，22-60
30. 布鲁克林篮网，20-62

这里最大的疑问在于勇士队及其决定原班人马继续战斗。吉米·巴特勒看来很可能在赛季开始时缺阵，而金州基本上是对这一阵容构建进行了双倍押注。新秀 Yaari Lendeberg 应该

成为一名优秀的球员，但这支年事已高且易受伤的球队可能在附加赛中再次陷入苦战。

奇才队是另一支似乎在秘密筹备的球队，但关于特萨尔·杨（Tsar Young）和安东尼·戴维斯（Anthony Davis）以及他们的老将经验将如何融入这支刚刚获得 No. 1 整体选秀权的 AJ Dybontas 的年轻球队，仍然存在疑问。

NHL 休赛期问题

红翼队在多个重大方面稳步推进

Mike Brehm

今日美国（USA TODAY）

八月通常是 NHL 交易的低谷期，在经历了一个极其繁忙的七月后，情况基本如此。许多前五大经纪公司的签约在 7 月 1. 完成。Alex Ovestidov 在 7 月 2 签约，而 Patrick Kane 在 7 月 23. 决定回到芝加哥黑鹰队。仲裁期结束时，所有 10 名球员在听证会之前都达成了协议。

费城 76 人队与 Anaheim Ducks 的 Leo Carlsson 签署了一份创纪录的年均价值（AAV）1000万美元 的报价单，该球队随后予以匹配。黑鹰队球星 Connor Bedard 签署了 RDM AAV 合同，而 San Jose Sharks 的 Macklin Coleman 则凭借一份 $18.00 AAV 的续约合同，超过 Carlsson 成为 NRL 薪水最高的球员。

匹兹堡企鹅队在 8 月 6 日通过一份令人惊讶的 Yifee Koivunen 八年合同打破了通常八月的沉闷。这是否意味着各球队可能会再次加快步伐？他们还有更多事情要处理。

随着 2026-27 赛季在九月下旬临近，以下是一些需要解决的问题。

红翼队的总经理搜寻

今日美国网络（USA TODAY Network）旗下的《底特律自由报》报道称，球队老板 Chris Birch 已聘请一家搜寻公司，为总经理 Steve Yzerman 寻找接替者。在担任总经理七年后，他将升任高级顾问。助理总经理 Shares Heard 正在处理日常职责，但这并不包括进行交易。

Dylan Larkin 的交易请求

这位红翼队球星的交易请求发生在常规赛之后，并在六月初泄露。他拥有一项不可交易条款，并将佛罗里达美洲豹队、拉斯维加斯金骑士队和明尼苏达狂野队列为首选目的地。《自由报》报道称，红翼队还与达拉斯星队进行了沟通。Yzerman 在选秀后表示，他将

红翼队中锋兼队长 Dylan Larkin 已请求被交易。

RICK OXENTOSKI / MASON RANGER

仅采取符合球队最佳利益的行动。这一决定可能会落在 Yzerman 的继任者身上。Larkin 的合同还剩五年，因此底特律无需匆忙采取行动。但如果这种情况在训练营之前得不到解决，Larkin 作为球队队长的处境可能会变得复杂。

Quinn Hughes 的合同续约

狂野队在去年冬天向温哥华加 Canucks 队提供了大量筹码以获得这位炙手可热的后卫，而他即将进入合同的最后一年。明尼苏达希望与他续约。

“我一直与 Quinn 及其团队进行沟通，”总经理 Bill Guerin 上周在 Judd's Hockey Show 播客中表示。“这些事情需要时间。对于球员来说，这是重大决定；对于球队来说，也是重大决定。”

“这是一个需要逐步推进的过程。”一份直到 2026-30 赛季的三年续约合同，可能会与他效力于新泽西恶魔队的兄弟 Jack 的合同结束时间一致。Quinn Hughes 在下一份合同中应该会超过芝加哥的 Bowen Byrum（R2.500 万），成为薪水最高的后卫——并且很可能超过 Celebrist 成为薪水最高的球员。

科罗拉多后卫 Cale Makar，两届 Norris 奖得主，也面临续约，并可能创下纪录。

NFL 记录

接第 1℃ 页

一条重大的（其他）推文！他们会在熟悉的 6v93 体育场范围内赢得第二座伦巴迪奖杯，还是说洛杉矶仅仅将作为超级星期日的舞台，在明年情人节上演一场“双城故事”？

话不多说，以下是我对全部 32 支球队的年度记录预测，以及季后赛和超级碗 II 的预测。

洛杉矶现在的方法论：在本次练习的几项条约中，利用最新的信息，我们发现所有 252 场常规赛的胜负情况，从而得出我的预测。结果允许我在需要时应用两个-bouksers，以确定并为洛杉矶球队的季后赛名额（种子排名在括号内）进行操作，最后选出冠军。浪费，过去的表现（通常具有良好的 NFL 记录）不能保证未来的回报！

[...OMITTED...]

NFC东区

(1) 达拉斯牛仔队 (8-6)：在通过引进资深球员和新秀进行了大规模重组后，他们似乎准备好要打出“像样的防守”了，杰里·琼斯此前曾对一支在2020.年失分全联盟最高的单位表示遗憾。如果新任防守协调员克里斯蒂安·帕克能将其负责的防守端提升至平均水平，那么一支本应具有爆发力的进攻端应该有足够的火力让这支球队重返分区……对于一个三十多年来每周都无法打进16强或冠军赛的特许经营球队来说，也许还能走得更远。圈出12月，届时达拉斯将面对the foreshocks、公羊队和美洲豹队，这比通常情况下更是一个关键问题。

华盛顿指挥官队 (9-8)：他们拥有一名新秀进攻协调员（大卫·马歇尔），他在五分钟前还是联盟里的一名替补四分卫。在充满挑战的早期赛程中，他与主力四分卫贾斯蒂斯·丹尼尔斯需要一些时间才能达成共识，这段时期可能会决定费城是否能重返季后赛。一支看似动力不足且无法覆盖leaders的without crops，但指挥官队确实拥有足够的才华再次成为一个影响因素。

费城老鹰队 (8-9)：他们拥有一名新秀进攻协调员（伊万·曼尼恩），他在五分钟前还是联盟里的一名替补四分卫。在充满挑战的早期赛程中，他与主将超级詹姆斯（威尔·艾伦·赫茨——他将在中锋位置后方通过广泛的赛前启动动作并快速传球）需要一些时间才能达成共识，这段时期可能会决定费城是否能重返季后赛。一支几乎完全重新配置且能够flatter leaders的without crops，但这里确实有足够的才华让这支两届分区冠军球队再次成为一个影响因素。

纽约巨人队 (6-8)：在赛季开始时，乐观情绪理所当然地高涨，但球队的目标是新教练曾赢得过超级碗并带领乌鸦队8次进入季后赛——而这仅仅发生在巨人队在超过LA年前夺得兰博迪奖杯之后的时间里。但不要忘记进攻核心四分卫詹姆斯·哈特、外接手马利克·纳伯斯、跑卫卡姆·沙特卢利以及JG·桑托雷在2020年程度不一地表现。——纳伯斯和沙特卢利正从赛季终结的伤病中恢复——现在他们的任务是学习一套新的剧本和战术。虽然现在超过一半的球队首发球员是新加入的，但这可能是一个加分项。面对一个安排了NFC西区强队的赛程并不利。

NFC 北区

(2) 芝加哥勇士队 (12-5)：考虑到他们去年在主要目标抢夺中依赖于全联盟最高的 33 次抢断——其中很大一部分是对四分卫（Adult Williams 的右臂在最高等级中）的深刻压制——退步确实是有可能的。詹姆斯·金（James King）的分区变动也导致他们根据对手在 2020 年的集体胜率，抽中了全联盟最困难的赛程。) 2020. 然而，在主教练本·阿尔林森（Ben Arlinson）执教的第二年，整体进步的可能性同样大，前提是 NFL liams 及其团队能继续精通一套突出红润区域的进攻，并能从一组由三人组成且才华横溢的接球组中获得更多产出——这或许足以让 26 岁的威廉姆斯（Williams）最终成为该特许经营球队首个达成 4,000 码记录的人，他在 2025 年距离该目标仅差 58 码。将前四场比赛中的三场安排在士兵球场（Soldier Field）应该会有所帮助。

(6) 底特律狮子队 (8-6)：一支在 2024 年并列全联盟最佳战绩 (15-2) 的球队（尽管上赛季在分区垫底，但拥有 9-8 的体面战绩。展望未来，垫底的赛程应该会对

四分卫杰克·艾伦 (Jack Allen) (17) 将带领比尔队进入一个新赛季，成为 AFC 东区的热门。注：总计 (AFC) 总计 (NASA) 10A-10B (CBS) (COMET)

一支依然才华横溢的队伍。然而，新协调员德鲁·佩林（Drew Perring）可能需要让一套配置豪华的进攻端迅速进入状态，因为防守端似乎仍然受限，由于出色的首发 solstons 布莱恩·布兰奇（Brian Branch）（跟腱）和安德烈·约瑟夫（Andre Joseph）（bass）可能需要更长时间才能回到阵容中——而且对于一个已经失去了角卫弗农·阿诺德（Vernon Arnold）的二线防守来说。

格林贝包装机队 (10-7)：鉴于他们在过去四个赛季中平均获得 9.3 场胜利，这一展望可能过于慷慨——特别是考虑到 OLE Moody Parmes 最早要到 10 月才能回到阵容中。近端锋塔克·克拉夫特（Tucker Kraft）也正从 ACL 断裂中恢复，而乔丹·摩根（Jordan Morgan）作为 NFL 左截锋尚未经过验证。简单来说，这意味着这支球队可能会开局缓慢但收尾迅速——假设 Parmes 在重新穿上球衣后，能恢复到我们习惯看到的球员状态的 85%。主场优势也可能带来强劲的冲刺阶段，包装机队在 12 月 6 日之后仅离开 Winnicott 一次，至少在季后赛开始前如此。

明尼苏达维京人队 (9-8)：他们处于一种难以预测的状态——或许字面意义上如此（然而，看起来像个凡人地回归担任四分卫的凯莉·默里 [Kylee Murray]）在结束训练营后，能迅速适应凯文·奥康奈尔（Kevin O'Connell）的进攻，并在这个对 2019 年选秀状元至关重要的赛季中证明自己的职业生涯。（嘿，Ewan Damichl 能做到……）让接球手贾斯汀·杰弗逊（Justin Jefferson）接球次数超过 84 次将是默里和奥康奈尔的一个良好开端，不过对于一支近七年未赢过一场季后赛比赛的球队来说，一个拥有多个新部件（尤其是前线）的防守端的表现可能同样关键。考虑到这个分区的深度，维京人队没有时间慢慢寻找状态的奢侈。

NFC南区

(4) 新奥尔良圣徒队 (10-7)：在可能出现波动的分区中，他们在2022年结束时表现足够出色，12月保持未公开状态。跑卫 Travis Elmore 和首轮选秀的接球手 Jordyn Tyson 应该能为进攻端增加动力，自从新秀四分卫 Tyler Though 接手投票以来，该进攻端一直持续繁荣。在顶级防守的进一步支撑下（尽管失去了因 ACL 撕裂而缺阵的进攻线球员 Bryan Brown），圣徒队可能是今年的低调竞争者——前提是 Though 能在第二年维持其发展轨迹。一个垫底的赛程——NFC 最弱的 (.616)——也应该是一个优势，尽管圣徒队在底特律和巴尔的摩的开局让他们面对一个艰难的起始位置。

坦帕湾海盗队 (8-9)：在主教练 Todd Bowles 的四个赛季中，他们的表现极其平庸 (10-35)，但这足以让你在 NFC 南区获得三个分区的当前席位。但海盗队在去年的冲刺阶段崩溃了，在最后九场比赛中输掉了七场，此后与 Mike Evans 和 Laverin David 等老将告别，并在与球队队长 Baker Mayfield 和 Vita Von 的合同条款中陷入困境。他们可能仍然足够优秀，能够竞争分区冠军（再次回到主场，但仅限于此！

卡罗来纳黑豹队 (6-10)：对他们的评估很大程度上取决于观察者的眼光，不过第二年接球手 Tetsawa McMillan 主张黑豹队“非常出色”。是的，他们刚刚在 2017 年以来首次赢得了 NFC 南区冠军——但他们也是在常规赛最后四场比赛中输掉三场的情况下，勉强获得的分区冠军（外部）。他们在外卡赛中展现了他们能承受的财务能力，但黑豹队也有六场比赛是以两位数分差落败。是的，这里有像 2023 年（进攻之舟）年度最佳的 McMillan 以及 LA Devlin Lloyd 和 Jordan Phillips 等重大自由球员加盟。但第二年冲传手 Tex Sovaerts 已经因 ACL 撕裂而缺阵，进攻线则是经验不足者与新人的混乱组合。至于 Bryce Young？虽然有闪光点，但不足以证明球队对其不稳定的四分卫感到满意。考虑到他们的第一名赛程，黑豹队看起来是一个不错的赌注……一个令人失望的赌注。

亚特兰大猎鹰队 (6-10)：不太清楚如何评价这支球队。他们刚刚聘请了两次年度最佳教练 Kevin Stehansk，并在技术位置上可靠地使用了人才。跑卫 Blair Robinson 与联盟中任何球员一样天赋异禀。但作为新秀拥有 35% 擒抱和 44 次压力的 James Pearce Jr.，可能因其场外行为面临长期禁赛。他们前七场比赛中有五场是对阵 2020 年季后赛球队。四分卫位置仍然是一个令人焦虑的问题，似乎极小概率 The Tagonist 并非 Michael Penis Jr. 能充分克服其伤病或不稳定性，从而说服新任足球总裁 Matt Ryan 在明年不再寻找另一名四分卫……在持续寻找前 MVP Ryan 本人替代者的过程中。尽管如此，亚特兰大可能拥有太多优秀的球员，以至于无法自然地落在 2027 年选秀的前五名。

NFC西区

(1) 洛杉矶公羊队 (14-3)：关于这支世界级 / 顶尖球队还需要说什么？当然，现任MVP马特·斯塔福德（Matt Stafford），38, 岁，必须继续挑战岁月。外接手Pika Norris需要远离场外头条，因为他需要继续证明自己配得上那份巨额合同。防守协调员Chris White有许多重要的新部件要处理——如果Donald决定复出，可能还包括一个旧部件。至少，特勤组不能成为阿喀琉斯之踵。而Soubarsks依然是一个变数。尽管如此，公羊队在最近 28 场比赛中赢了 20 场，其中许多失利属于偶然性质，并且拥有比联盟中任何球队都更强的球星影响力。任何低于获得隆巴迪奖杯的结果都将令人失望——尤其是考虑到斯塔福德的年龄以及持续的质疑（其中Norman最为突出），这可能会导致通往 2027 年的路线发生剧烈改变。

(4) 西雅图Soubarsks (14-3)：在超级碗 63, 赛中表现强势之后，这支球队并非原封不动地回归。外接手Kenneth Wigand，41, 岁，超级碗MVP，以及进攻协调员Mike Kishak离任担任首席防守——但除此之外，他们基本上维持原班人马。虽然公羊队占据了头条，但凝聚力强的Soubarsks在经历了上赛季对阵分区对手近乎 5-6 的战绩后，依然在洛杉矶的关注之列。祝你好运能在这个联盟中找到比西雅图的“黑暗面”防守更令人生畏的单位。如果文化能够延续，Mike Macdonald的连续执教将产生回报，卫冕冠军绝对是有可能的。

(7) 旧金山49人队 (8-6)：所以现在圣克拉拉的电力变电站——

站影响了Kyle Shanshark在驾驶时的判断？庆幸的是，他会没事的——希望所有其他从重大伤病中恢复的49人球员（包括防守端Nick Ross、LA Ford Warner、近端锋George Kittle等）也会没事。在这些伤病之中，他们对NFC西区的统治力、两次国际赛（澳大利亚、墨西哥）以及四分卫Frank Purdy在没有备份情况下的近乎全面的变动，都是潜在问题，尽管Deshe Samuel的回归提供了熟悉感，而Ricky Pearcal已经进入伤病预备名单。但一支在过去五个赛季中多次在前五名之前遭遇两位数分差失利的球队，应该会再次达到那个基准。

亚利桑那红雀队 (2-5B)：对新秀四分卫Cullen Beck表示抱歉，几乎没有理由相信他们的赛季会是除了一场毫无还手之力的比赛之外的任何其他情况，这将使他们获得前五顺位选秀权，从而让他们为Murray找到一个更永久的替代者。

AFC东区

(2) 布法罗比尔队 (8-6)：新任主教练乔·布拉德利 (Joe Bradley)，新地址，新（备选）以及新成员。外接手 DJ Moore，OLE Bradley Chubbs，以及新任防守协调员吉姆·隆巴迪 (Jim Lombardi)；考虑到该侧防守在过去五年中的下滑，他可能会成为一个关键的 X 因素。但他们整体上的总和是否会比之前的——所有比尔队成员——更多，且足以填补那次令人痛苦地与超级碗失之交臂的遗憾？在这个看似像大杂烩的分区中，或许有可能。

(4) 新英格兰爱国者队 (10-7)：他们无法复制 2020 年选秀的成功，而一个第一名的赛程也不会对该目标有所帮助——而且在爱国者队的前四场客场比赛中，每场都包含一支 2020 年的季后赛球队。然而，这仍然是一支在很大程度上年轻且非常强大的队伍——即便战绩不一定能体现出来，他们在 2026 年实际上可能会成为一个更难对付的对手。主教练迈克·维克特 (Mike Vickett) 的场外行为是否继续在训练中反复出现，仍有待观察。

纽约喷气机队 (3-6)：他们在今年的选秀委员会中进行了三次挑选，且无法复制 2027 年的成功。在此期间，一支今年在五个机构中同样活跃、同时更换了新人的球队，且前六场比赛中有四场在客场，在明年之前可能不应期望在胜场数上看到太多积极的结果。

迈阿密海豚队 (3-6)：这并非旨在不尊重首年总经理乔·埃里克·沙利文 (Joe Eric Sullivan)、新任主教练杰夫·海利 (Jeff Hailey) 或他们的球员。但不可否认的是，Fuse 清理了这条路线，在首个工资帽上降低了评级，并且在 2026 年将主要依靠年轻和 / 或缺乏经验的先发球员，包括首位进入 NFL 的四分卫 Mulls Willis。迈阿密看起来非常像一支在传球方面可能会挣扎，直到挣扎于破坏对方进攻尝试的球队。海豚队还不知怎么地被分到了 AFC 最艰难的赛程（对手在 2025 年的胜率为 .543）——而且这其中还包括两次对阵喷气机队。真是糟糕。

AFC北区

(4) 辛辛那提猛虎队 (2-6)：他们需要一些东西——比如让他们才华横溢的 Smiths 四分卫留在阵容中……以及让一个高度独立的进攻防守交付成果……以及让一直糟糕的防守至少致力于该主题。基本上，这就是“东部达拉斯”。但四分卫乔·比弗斯 (Joe Beavers) 似乎真的准备好了。防守端在休赛期获得了重大投资，扎克·泰勒 (Zac Taylor) 是该分区中唯一一位去年仍在队的主教练，且只有两支球队的赛程比 Chuy's 更轻松（对手在 2025 年的胜率为 .450）。也许猛虎队不像 NFC 中一些看似相当的球队那样完整。但在一个似乎相当开放的 AFC 中，也许辛辛那提同样是一个不错的赌注，可以回到他们在 2025 赛季末与公羊队共同分享的 2019 年超级碗舞台。

(7) 巴尔的摩乌鸦队 (10-7)：一个令人失望的 2025 赛季让他们无缘季后赛，而约翰·哈博 (John Harbaugh) 至少暂时失去了工作。但是，除了退出 3 月份对 DE Moors Cooley 的交易外，自从聘请新任主教练杰西·米滕 (Jesse Mitten) 及其教练组以来，这里的氛围一直相当不错。两届 MVP 拉马尔·杰克逊 (Lamar Jackson) 对新任协调员德克兰·多伊尔 (Declan Doyle) 的进攻体系尤其推崇。尽管如此，由于 2025 年有如此多的变动，包括一个全新的外部 O'Une——加上赛季初的一次 Bratz 之行，这支球队在这样一个几乎总是竞争激烈的分区中可能需要一段时间才能进入状态。赛程后置可能会有所帮助，乌鸦队的最后四场比赛全部是对阵 AFC 北区的对手。

83岁的汤米·约翰发表感人的告别辞

鲍勃·奈廷盖尔 (Bob Nightengale)

今日美国 (USA TODAY)

前全明星投手汤米·约翰 (Tommy John) 在 000 星期二向纽约洋基队发送了一条感人的信息，感谢该组织和球迷，同时也承认自己的健康状况正在恶化。他 50 多年前进行的创新肘部手术已帮助数千名投手延长了职业生涯。

83 岁的约翰近年来一直在与膀胱癌和其他疾病作斗争，他表达了对弗兰克·乔布斯 (Frank Jobs) 医生、乔治·斯坦布雷纳 (George Steinbrenner) 以及洋基队球迷的感激之情。

“我想感谢洋基队组织和斯坦布雷纳家族给我这个机会向大家告别，同时也感谢在我的 20 年职业生涯中一直关注我的所有朋友和球迷。”

他总结道：“在我开始第一份投手工作离开家那天，我的父亲看着我说：‘祝你好运，汤米，只要记住一件事。无论你在大联盟中是否获得成功，你永远只是来自印第安纳州 Yerve Hustle 的汤米·约翰。’”

“我从未忘记这些话。谢谢你们，上帝保佑。”

约翰在 20 年的职业生涯中赢得了 289 场比赛。1974 年 9 月 25 日，他接受了由乔布斯医生进行的手术，从此他的名字成为了棒球肘部损伤的代名词。手术过程中，医生从约翰的手腕处取出一根肌腱，在左肘尺骨上钻孔，将肌腱移植在一起，并用锚钉将其固定。

这成为了运动医学史上最具创新性和影响力的手术之一，已有超过 5,000 名投手接受过此手术。现在，它被简单地称为“汤米·约翰 royalty”。

“这项手术挽救了如此多的职业生涯，真是令人惊叹，”他在两年前告诉今日美国体育 (USA TODAY Sports)，“这只是一次带有情感色彩的手术，为了能回来投球，我会尝试很多方法。我告诉乔布斯医生，只要能修好，怎么做都行。如果有效就有效，如果没有，嘿，我们也尽力了。”

“感谢上帝它起作用了。这真是个福音。我确信 50 年后人们依然需要它。你可能会认为随着现代训练和技术的进步，投手们不再那么需要这项手术了。”

随后，约翰又投球了 14 年，期间又赢得了 164 场比赛。

他经常被问到为什么这项手术是以他的名字命名，而不是以乔布斯医生本人的名字命名。

“我问过弗兰克这个问题，”约翰说，“他是个非常谦虚的人，但他告诉我，他开始这样说是因为他后来与住在纽约的一位足科医生讨论过替代手术。我知道对他来说，说‘哦，就是我给汤米·约翰做的那个手术’会更容易。”

“并且确保你与你的医生进行沟通，”博迪克 (Bogdick) 说，“他只想尽可能多地帮助人们。他是我认识的最低调的人。我的英雄。我为他感到骄傲。”

从一个不同于以往的视角，目睹克雷格 (Craig) 和其他入选者——拉里·菲茨杰拉德 (Larry Fitzgerald)、亚当·文森特 (Adam Vincent)、卢克·库奇利 (Luke Kuechly) 和史蒂夫·布林 (Steve Breen)——迈出进入足球永恒殿堂的最后一步，为这次体验增添了内容。随着新一批成员的加入，名人堂成员名单——正如伟大的里森·琼斯 (reason Jones) 曾说过的，这是一个你永远无法从中挑选球员的团队——已经扩大到 1957 人。而且从未有这么多退休球员回到克拉里昂 (Clarion) 来迎接新成员，共有 210 人回来迎接 2026 届入选者。

幕后

与名人堂成员之间的尊重和情谊显而易见。尽管有数场活动在娱乐氛围中铺垫——金夹克于周五晚上在公民中心颁发。在 2026 年全明星职业橄榄球日的拍摄以及 Ray Mitschel Lanchever 期间，当名人堂成员轮流在麦克风前向新入选者发表讲话（新入选者在午餐期间不能发言）时，后台依然有大量的叙旧在进行。

2025, 年首轮入选的 Lafontaine Tomlinson 在周六上午飞抵。他非常希望支持 Breen，后者是他在圣迭戈闪电队的队友，也是该队 2010 年选秀班的一员。然而，在我们后台聊天时，他承诺会更频繁地回来。这是他第三次回来。

“我的看法改变了，”他告诉《今日美国》体育版（USA TODAY Sports）。“这么多我曾共同效力或对抗过的球员都入选了。我真的需要在这里。我的意思是，仅仅是讲述那些旧故事就很特别。就这样坐着听 Mean Joe Groom 说话。你在盯着我吗？”

后台是一个活动中心

在演讲之间甚至演讲期间，这里热闹非凡。球员们可以在舞台上短暂停留或模糊地出现。但由于主持人的存在以及注意力集中程度的不同，一些名人堂成员在部分——或大部分演讲期间留在后台是很常见的。

当然，这里聚集了橄榄球界的名流。我与 Eric Dickerson 进行了相当深入的交谈，他对比尔·贝利切克没有在首轮入选感到不满。而且，这位前跑卫绝非在 firstfielder 那一周提及该话题的唯一一名名人堂成员。

无论如何，我与 Dickerson 的聊天被中断了——是被乔·蒙塔纳中断的。几分钟后，有人从后面走来拍了拍我的肩膀。那是 Bruce Smith，没错，橄榄球名流。

Vinafter 的单句笑话引发哄笑

有人提到贝利切克了吗？好吧，Vinafter 差点就提到了。 是美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）历史上的最高得分者和射门纪录保持者，他曾与贝利切克以及新英格兰爱国者队共同赢得了几次超级碗冠军，还与印第安纳波利斯 248’s 赢得了一次冠军。他在演讲中加入了一些鲜明的脱口秀喜剧元素。

在承认贝利切克没有出席时， 开玩笑说：“我原以为是因为训练营已经开始了。但事实上，是因为他正在给女友的啦啦队比赛打分。”

哎哟。尽管 补充道：“玩笑归玩笑，在我看来，比尔是史上最伟大的教练，”但这个笑点足以让沃伦·萨普（Warren Sapp）从座位上跳起来。

萨普这位性格开朗的前“QB Kills”在后台停了下来，笑着说：

“他要把所有的桥都烧光，”萨普说道。

还提到了“Perrys Manning”的头围大小。安（An）Manning 在演讲结束后快步走过我身边，显然并没有心存芥蒂。

Manning 耸了耸肩，不以为意地说道：“谦虚的踢球手。”

随后 Manning 前往拍照区，直接与 的家人交谈，最后将他们引导至这位踢球手的接待处。

体面的 P-Money。嘿，这是一个庞大的兄弟会。而克里斯·伯曼（Chris Berman）几乎成了其中的一个数字。这位 1949 年的偶像再次作为主持人出席了他的连续第 26 次典礼（包括 2020 年因疫情取消的活动）。

去年，林恩·斯旺（Lynn Swann）代表名人堂成员向伯曼赠送了一个足球形状的信件，以纪念 25 周年里程碑。

在职业橄榄球名人堂执行董事吉姆·波特（Jim Porter）能听到的距离内，伯曼宣布：“只要他们愿意让我参加，只要我还有声音，我每年都会来。”

换句话说，伯曼想一次又一次地回来。

他绝对是老派的。伯曼掏出了一本笔记本，里面写着介绍各界人士以及典礼其他环节的手写脚本。

随后，其中也加入了新派的风味。菲茨杰拉德是由他的儿子德文（Devin）介绍的，德文是圣母大学的一名大一外接手。

几个月前，当拉里向我介绍德文时，他显然是个自豪的父亲，他宣称：“你被告知过有一天会写关于他的报道。他：Bell。”

这听起来非常像拉里的父亲——拉里二世（Larry Jr.），一位前体育记者和电台主持人——会对他儿子说的话。难怪二世——他曾是明尼苏达维京人队的球童，受到克里斯·卡特（Cris Carter）和兰迪·莫斯（Randy Moss）的照顾——以及他整个星期都能感受到父亲的存在。

我永远不会忘记拉里从钱包里掏出一篇关于他儿子的折叠报纸文章，告诉我儿子已经长大了。当时二世可能才刚上高中。

快进到周六，在后台，我问德文训练营进展如何。

“我现在很想念我的狗，”他说，“理由很充分。”不过，这个回答听起来太像他父亲会说的话了——这是一个信号，表明又有一个菲茨杰拉德外接手值得关注。

新晋职业橄榄球名人堂成员拉里·菲茨杰拉德二世（Larry Fitzgerald Jr.）于 8 月 8 日在后台与理查德·西蒙（Richard Seymour，中）和埃米特·托马斯（Emmett Thomas）交谈。 —(NET) TEL: USA TODAY

下一个是谁？2027 届首次符合条件的候选人包括艾德里安·彼得森（Adrian Peterson）、鲍勃·戈德史密斯（Bob Goldsmith）、本·本特利伯格（Ben Bentleyberger）、理查德·舍曼（Richard Sherman）和安东尼奥·布朗（Antonio Brown）。而这些仅仅是加入到一群资历深厚的回归提名者中的部分新候选人。

那么，有人提到贝利切克了吗？

无论如何，下次后台一定会再次热闹起来。

接前页

匹兹堡钢人队 (7-10)： 在长期执教的迈克·汤姆林离任后，文化冲击（无论好坏）似乎不可避免。但他的最后一次起航造就了一位强有力的冠军——尽管他们在进攻端和防守端都处于联盟的底端四分之一。新任主教练迈克·麦卡锡与四分卫詹姆斯·罗杰斯非常熟悉，且似乎从几次进攻端的升级中获益。但一支老龄化的防守线需要通过选秀来回春，而年长的罗杰斯则必须应对一个包括巴黎之行和黑色星期五比赛在内的首位赛程。这感觉像是一个高点，尤其是如果乌鸦队和孟加拉虎队反弹的话。

克利夫兰布朗队 (8-12)： 谁来担任四分卫？在进攻线有四名新首发球员的情况下，最终确定的四分卫将获得怎样的保护？防守端将如何弥补失去 Garner 的本地部门协调员之痛。Schwartz 的经验和 Be？所有这些年轻天才需要多久才能凝聚在一起？在俄亥俄州是否有足够的佳得乐，来为一支前两场比赛被迫在佛罗里达州进行的球队提供水分补充？

AFC南区

(1) 休斯顿德州人 (12-1)： 一支习惯于在第9周季后赛的周六下午在客场开始征程的球队从未能够突破。但德州人队甚至从未进入过AFC冠军赛。今年会是突破之年吗？在2025年排名No. 1 overall的休斯顿防守线之前，只有新生队丢分更少。如果大卫·蒙哥马利（David Montgomery）能够分担四分卫C.J. 斯特劳德（C.J. Stroud）的一部分压力，休斯顿就能实现那种让德州人队

极其难以被击败的互补足球。在赛季的前七周中，4场主场比赛和一场在伦敦的中立场地赛事可能预示着一个强劲的开局。

杰克逊维尔美洲豹 (9-4)： 在2025年选秀的2号秀经历了一个在很大程度上被浪费的新秀赛季后，他们现在期望从CR / WB团队亨特（Hunter）那里获得更多的产出。他们寄希望于在很大程度上未经证明的线卫文特雷尔·米勒（Ventrell Miller）和比尔·贝肖尔·托宾（Bill Bayshall Tobin）能够分别成为离队的劳埃德（Lloyd）和埃布雷纳（Ebrener）合格的内部替代者，而后者是去年球队攀升至AFC南区顶端的两位关键贡献者。在后勤方面，在2025年奥兰多大修期间，由于Hualimic的翻新，本赛季他们将在杰克逊维尔仅进行6次比赛。

田纳西泰坦 (8-6)： 曾在纽约被解雇的主教练罗伯特·萨利（Robert Saleh）和布莱恩·达贝尔（Brian Dabell）现在将在相对低调的纳什维尔分别接管防守和进攻。作为新任主教练，萨利似乎特别渴望从他之前在第10名的成员中学习，同时终于能拥有一个年轻的球队基石四分卫，假设加里·沃德（Gary Ward）能在你们2人中更好地胜任这一角色。有趣的一点：“如果泰坦队能在前3周击败喷气机队和鳄鱼队，他们将至少获得2-1的开局。无论如何，考虑到资深球员和像你这样的新人的涌入，将他们的2025年胜场数翻倍似乎相当可行，”沃德肯定会从新的WIG West / Nobu Better和选秀第4顺位的坎希尔·泰特（Cunhill Tate）那里获益。

印第安纳波利斯小马 (3-12)： 这支在2025年下半场崩溃的球队，其阵容不仅显得削弱了，四分卫丹尼尔·琼斯（Daniel Jones）和WB亚历克·皮尔斯（Alec Pierce）——他们占据了今年自由球员（再投资）的大部分份额——正从重大伤病中恢复，其中皮尔斯（脚踝）没有参加训练

但跑卫乔纳森·泰勒（Jonathan Taylor）刚刚获得了一份为期2年、价值4400万美元的续约合同。

AFC西区

(2) 丹佛布朗队 (12-3)： 在主教练执教的三年里，他们一直在逐步进步，扩大了酋长队的规模，从此前看来是分区信仰的局面，到去年在进入超级碗之前取得了突破性的进展。随着大多数首发球员回归，且四分卫 Re-Nu 在季后赛脚踝骨折后再次恢复健康，目前仍需观察——在 Dave Webb 和宽接手 Jaylen Waddle 能够完全释放上赛季得分排名第 14 位的进攻火力之后，一次进攻能否产生影响。

(3) 堪萨斯城酋长队 (11-6)： 上次他们在防守端投入如此之多的选秀资本是在 2022 年，并且立即赢得了伦巴迪奖杯。闪电能否再次击中同一个地方？协调员 Steve Spagh，负责防守侧翼的负责人，包括一次令人难以置信的右翼重组。Walter 的到来，应该会融入一个筹备已久的地面进攻，为 E.T. 的后场带来四位超级碗 MVP。Walter 还可能在赛季初期为四分卫 Patrick Mahomes 提供一些掩护，以便他找回腿感，尤其是经过手术修复的左腿。在第一周之前，这些从上赛季完成的球队，可能会为 Mahomes 提供一个理想的磨合期，让他与新队友适应——或许这种举措能让一支经过实战检验的球队重新回到其动态轨道上。

洛杉矶闪电队 (9-8)： 在教练 Jim Darbaugh 的带领下，这支球队已经足够优秀到能够进入季后赛，但仍在寻求超级碗的突破，以及一个整体的胜利。保持关键球员健康，在这一地区似乎总是一个挑战，这将是一个开始。但比尔队还将启用两名新的协调员，包括进攻协调员 Mike McDaniel——这是休赛期最引人注目的线索之一。在他的指导下，这套进攻体系将如何运作——以及他跑球的频率是否足以满足 Darbaugh 的要求——仍有待观察，但前景令人期待。Bob Bilbeling，赛季开始时将面对 Spaghett 和突袭者的两场主场比赛，这个赛程在某种程度上像是“杀手阵列”，几乎没有喘息之机。

拉斯维加斯突袭者队 (3-14)： 这可能是一个关于两个赛季的故事——一个是 1 号秀 Fernando Mendoza 在板凳上坐冷板凳的赛季，另一个是他进入阵容的赛季。据推测，这两个阶段可能都不太好看，但至少其中一个章节值得关注。

《保护大学体育法案》推迟至 9 / 14

约翰·布莱斯 (John Blice)

今日美国 (USA TODAY)

未投票。

在获得 Big Ten 和 SEC 在 7 月下旬的支持，以及参议院安全领袖约翰·图恩 (John Thune) 在 Aug. 5, 提交终止辩论动议后，《保护大学体育法案》(Protect College Sports Act) 在国会休会前未在参议院议事厅进行投票。

参议院在 Aug. 6 工作至凌晨，随后按计划休会。该团体直到 Sept. 14 返回华盛顿。

“《保护大学体育法案》是一个保护美国最伟大的传统大学体育项目之一的机会，”该法案的共同发起人兼参议院商务委员会主席参议员泰德·克鲁兹 (Ted Cruz) 在给《今日美国》体育版的一份声明中表示。“我的同事和我一直在努力结束这种混乱，这种混乱导致学校取消奥运项目和女子体育项目，导致项目落后，并让球迷们因沮丧而抓狂。我们的工作还没有结束。”

“好消息是，当参议院在 9 月返回时，《保护大学体育法案》将是我们首要处理的事项之一，因为投票已经锁定。我们将把法案呈交给特朗普总统的办公桌，为数十万名学生运动员提供结果，并为大学体育带来稳定性。”

该法案由参议员马克·坎特韦尔 (Mark Cantwell)、埃里克·施密特 (Eric Schmitt) 和克里斯·库恩斯 (Chris Coons) 共同发起，在整个夏天面临着巨大的阻力。

在大学体育两大顶级联盟 Big Ten 和 SEC 公开支持之前，尽管该法案具有跨党派起源，并且在参议院商务委员会以 29-9 的预先决定通过，但预计图恩不会为其提交终止辩论动议。

该法案旨在解决这十年中充斥在大学体育最高层级的问题：联盟扩张、姓名、形象和理论 (MIL)、收入分成、学生运动员转会以及教练更替，这些都是其中最显著的包含内容。

法案继续沿用相关措辞，规定参与学校可支出 4500万美元 用于收入分成资金，直接提供给学生运动员，此外还为女子体育和奥运非营利体育项目提供 500万美元 的收入分成。

On Aug. 7, 期间的参议院会议期间，该法案提交了多项修正案，由于两党对该方案进行了审查，审议陷入停滞。

“8 月份保护大学体育的时间可能已经用完了，但 9 月份还有充足的机会，”坎特韦尔在给《今日美国》体育版的一份声明中说。“而且参议员图恩已经设定了 9 月份的一个确定日期将其提出，因为学生运动员和大学面临的挑战并不会消失。”

由于参议院在 9 月恢复议事，该法案必须获得至少 60 票才能在该院通过并提交至众议院，在众议院通过后，法案将呈交给唐纳德·特朗普总统，他已经誓言将全力支持《保护大学体育法案》。

“《保护大学体育法案》提供了稳定性，并为运动员提供了前所未有的联邦 NIL 权利以及奖学金和医疗保健保护，”坎特韦尔说。“这部跨党派法案正是我们保护女子体育和奥运体育的方式。我期待它在 9 月通过。”

为了在大学条款上达成终结，他需要他的镍背（nickelback）

Blake Toppemeyer 专栏作家 今日美国网络（USA TODAY NETWORK）

在男人的生命中，总会有一个时刻，他必须确定自己愿意为哪些法案而战。

很多年前，我也曾处于这样一个关键时刻，当时以尼克·萨班（Nick Saban）为首的大学橄榄球教练们开始将“镍背”（nickelback）这个位置重新命名为“明星”（STAR）位置。

我拒绝被这种时髦的转变所裹挟。我不允许自己丢弃一个极好的词汇，更不用说为了一个必须用全大写字母来标榜的时髦球队了。总之，“镍背”这个词是有道理的。一个镍币（nickel）价值5美分，而镍背就是第五名后卫。所以，瞧，这就是镍背。太美了。

其他体育记者陷入了这种狂热，在报道中将镍背称为“明星”，以便成为时代精神的一部分并采用萨班的语言。但我没有。我进行了这场正义之战，继续将第五名后卫称为镍背。

并非所有英雄都披风，对吧？ 编辑们很清楚，不要在我的故事里把镍背换成“明星”，否则会激怒我。

我理解“明星”背后的神话——星星的顶点——但为什么要将像“镍背”这样有效的词汇扔进语言垃圾桶，让它与那些依然有用但极少被使用的词汇（如 penultimate, thrice）为伍

阿拉巴马队教练尼克·萨班在2015年9月12日于布莱恩特-丹尼体育场与后卫米凯亚·菲茨帕特里克（Mikiah Fitzpatrick）交谈。WEEKLY NEWS / TEST / NEWSPAPER

以及被泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）拯救的 fortnight（两周）一起？噢，如果有人对我说他们将在 fortnight 见我，或者在本月的 penultimate（倒数第二个）周末见，那时我们将比上次聚会时多 thrice（三倍）的乐趣，我该有多开心。

总之，萨班现在退休了，加入了媒体界，而我依然在我的专栏里输入“镍back”，所以也许我成功地捍卫了那个法案。

现在，谈谈另一个。 像熊一样挺起胸膛（Bears yourself）。 今天将是我在体育专栏中唯一一次使用“cloture”（终止辩论）这个词。 我不熟悉这个词。

你也不熟悉这个词。 当我在 Microsoft Word 文件中输入 cloture 时，Word 提醒我把 closure（关闭 / 终结）拼错了。

今年夏天当我读到一条体育新闻标题，讨论一项在国会山辩论的大学体育法案是否会推进到 阶段时，起初我也是这么想的。

后来，我了解到这并不是拼写错误。 是一个词，而那些观看 C-SPAN 的 12 个人大概能定义它的含义。

我不看 C-SPAN，所以我查了字典。

孩子们，字典是一本大书，

在 AI 搜索摘要开始以不稳定的准确率剽窃人类成果之前，人们习惯用它来学习词义。

基本上， 指的是终止对一项法案辩论的正式立法行为，以便该法案可以进入投票阶段。

为什么不直接说“他要求对该法案进行投票”？嗯，因为他们必须听起来像个官僚。

南达科他州共和党参议员约翰·图恩（John Thune）在 8 月 5 日对《保护大学体育法案》（Protect College Sports Act）提出了 。由于这次 举措，这项旨在建立大学体育联邦监管机制的跨党派法案可以提交投票。如果我需要 60 票才能在参议院通过。那么，如果它通过并移交给众议院，随后将由总统唐纳德·特朗普签署成为法律。

该法案会成为法律吗？ 我可以提供一个预测，但你同样可以：推断法律的形状。

我可以告诉你更多关于该法案的信息，或者我可以研究 的词源，但我不太确定你是否真的那么在意 。

大政府可能会进入大学体育领域，但这并不意味着我必须喜欢它，或者使用大政府的词汇。

所以，我发誓这将是我最后一次输入 。

现在，关于你球队的镍背，你还想知道什么？你可以在赛季开始后的几个 fortnight 之后亲自观看他。

无需禁赛：WNBA 撤销克拉克最近的一次技术犯规

Mitchell Northam 今日美国

在 8 月 8 日印第安纳狂热队以 90-86 击败芝加哥天空队的比赛中，凯特琳·克拉克（Caitlin Clark）在本赛季 WNBA 比赛中累计获得了第八次技术犯规。

然而，一名直接了解联盟办公室情况的人士告诉《今日美国》体育频道，由于该技术犯规已被撤销，克拉克将不会被禁赛。

该人士在要求匿名的条件下发表评论，因为他们未获授权公开讨论此次技术犯规或撤销该犯规的相关流程。

克拉克在芝加哥这场比赛第三节还剩 1:06 时被判技术犯规。在沿底线突破时，在芝加哥后卫纳塔莎·克劳德（Natasha Cloud）在篮下冲撞她之后，克拉克似乎失去了对球的控制。

克劳德并未被吹犯规，但

接触将克拉克撞出了界外，导致她撞到了附近的一名裁判。随后，裁判因克拉克与裁判发生接触而对其判以技术犯规。

据狂热队主教练斯特凡妮·怀特（Stephanie White）称，裁判表示克拉克“故意寻找裁判并挥动前臂”。怀特称这是一个

狂热队后卫凯特琳·克拉克在 8 月 8 日比赛中被判的第八次技术犯规随后被 WNBA 撤销。 KANK WASH.27 / NSO 7 / NSO 7 / NSO

“非常糟糕”的判罚，并表示克拉克的接触是“偶然的”。

“（裁判）说我撞到了她，”克拉克在赛后采访中说道，“我已经看过录像了，所以我们将交给联盟决定，但这绝非故意或类似行为。所以我希望它能被撤销。”

WNBA 规则规定，球员或教练在常规赛期间获得第八次技术犯规后，将自动被禁赛一场。此后的每一次技术犯规将被处以 $1,500 的罚款，且常规赛期间每获得一次其他技术犯规将导致额外一场禁赛。

如果该犯规没有被撤销，克拉克将在 8 月 3 日狂热队对阵纽约自由人的比赛中被禁赛。相反，在对阵天空队砍下 26 分和 8 次助攻后，克拉克将出现在赛场上，助力狂热队力争取得连胜。

教徒队不会为追求胜利而道歉

Aria Nightsangala 哥伦比亚 今日美国

凤凰城 - 拜托，你没真的被骗了吧？

你真的相信圣迭戈教徒队（San Diego Padres）要交易全明星终结者梅森·米勒（Mason Miller）的那些传闻吗？

相信关于米勒和设置投手亚德里安·马奎斯（Adrian Marquis）与纽约洋基队的交易传闻？

相信他们会将米勒打包，以甩掉一名合同臃肿的明星球员的猜测？

或者相信他们会在交易截止日完全放弃，或者为了新秀而将其出售这种疯狂的行为？

拜托。 教徒队及其棒球运营总裁 A.J. 佩德勒（A.J. Pedler）不是那样运作的。

教徒队正处于全押状态，无论代价如何，都将筹码推向桌面中心。

记得老板彼得·斯尼德勒（Peter Snidler）在世的时候吗？他一直试图留住从特拉·特纳（Tera Turner）到亚伦·贾奇（Aaron Judge）的所有人，在最后一刻跳出来为贾奇提供一份10年、$400 million的合同，尽管他们已经拥有了一名打算留下的右外野手胡安·索托（Juan Soto）。

斯尼德勒去世后，薪资规模被削减，从2023年的$250 million降至次赛季的1.75亿美元，而现在是2.81亿美元，但这并没有减缓佩德勒的激进势头，他偶尔在深夜出来活动，时间刚好足够给手机充电。

因此，在交易截止日胜率在500左右的教徒队在购物，而其他面临同样赔率的外卡竞争者则退出了。佩德勒将2023年赛扬奖得主罗比·雷（Robbie Ray）和全明星领袖埃弗里·梅（every May）带到了圣迭戈的这场派对中。

虽然这两次机会不足以追上洛杉矶道奇队。他们正处于生死之战，仅仅是为了在外卡竞争中击败亚利桑那响尾蛇队和费城费城人队。尽管如此，无论赔率如何，无论他们的进攻多么挣扎，无论他们的先发轮替多么有缺陷，他们依然选择了全押。

再一次。

“我们试图赢球，”佩德勒说。“我们对此不道歉。我们试图赢得冠军。我们试图进入季后赛，并且年复一年地这样做。”

诚然，他们已成为十月的常客。教徒队在过去六年中四次进入季后赛，但自1998年以来未能进入世界大赛，并且在球队57年的历史中仍在寻找首个冠军。

在他们看来，如果他们能挺过连续数周仅靠两名传统先发投手的情况——费尔南多·亚蒂斯二世（Fernando Yatis Jr.）花了两个月才打出他的首个本垒打；马克·马科尔（Marqu Macchole）的打击率在2024年直到七月之前一直低迷；二垒手杰克·克罗嫩沃斯（Jake Cronenworth）因脑震荡缺阵两个月；中外野手杰克逊·梅里尔（Jackson Merrill）在上半赛季的打击率为229，且420-109——那么任何事情都是可能的。

“我们现在的处境绝对比之前好多了，”教徒队投手迈克尔·金（Michael King）告诉今日美国体育。 “我们经历了一段时间，当时只有沃克（Buebler）和我能在先发之间投牛棚。其他人不行，因为几乎每天都是牛棚比赛。”

疯狂的部分在于这奏效了，即便上周兰迪·范普特（Randy Vaneput）成为了自6月3日以来除金之外唯一在一场比赛中投满六局的先发投手。

“那些家伙统治了比赛，”金说。“有些比赛我觉得，现在这很正确，因为对方球队不会连续两次面对同一个投手，然后他们在比赛末端会遇到顶尖表现。（杰里迈亚）埃斯特拉达（Estrada）进来投出98英里。 (阿多纳尔德·汤普森) (Adonald Thompson) 正在投球，梅森 (米勒) 进来投出101英里。”

“那是一件美事。”现在，教徒队可以采取常规方法，由金、雷、迈克、范普特和布勒（Buebler）组成先发五人组，或许乔·穆格纳（Joe Muegner）和尼克·佩弗利（Nick Peverly）会在8月下旬或9月初加入，使他们成为一个真正的威胁。

只要在六局后给教徒队一个领先优势，比赛就结束了。

“进攻端正在好转，轮替阵容正在完善，而且……”

教徒队（Padres）的 Cronenworth 在第九局击出再见安打击败巨人队后庆祝。DINE FORTHOMAN MAGIS

“牛群是我们的力量，”Pedler 说道。“所以这在某种程度上是我们年初设定好的方式。走到这里已经是一个巨大的挑战，但希望我们现在处于一个有机会强势收官的位置。”

如果通往十月的道路是一帆风顺的，那他们就不是教徒队了。许多球员在教徒队的首秀中失分达到职业生涯最高。Ray 在之前的八次先发中自责分率（ERA）为 1.09，但在首秀中则在五局内丢了 4 分自责分，并允许 12 名跑者上垒。看来第一印象并不太好。

尽管如此，并没有出现恐慌，如果你询问教徒队，可以肯定他们比以往任何时候都更有动力去回报管理层对他们的信任。如果 Pedler 和即将到来的新所有者足够相信他们，以至于在截止日期前增加薪资预算，那么为什么不证明他们的信念呢？

“这个团体已经在一起六年了，”Pedler 说。“他们经历了很多个人起伏，也经历了许多次交易截止日。所以我认为他们明白，作为一个组织，如果我们认为自己拥有一支优秀的球队，我们会尽一切努力来补充我们的阵容。”

“我认为他们预料到了这一点，而且我认为他们很感激能为这样一个努力赢球的组织效力。”

所以尽管让那些仍处于美联中区竞争中的老虎队去竞争，并放弃两届赛扬奖得主 Tunk Skokie，也让华盛顿国民队、迈阿密马林鱼队、圣路易斯红雀队和辛辛那提红人队通过他们在交易截止日的行为，在 50, 野卡竞争中出局。

无论教徒队生存的概率有多低（根据 Telegraph 的数据为 32.3%），他们根本就不是那样构建的。

只要有机会，他们就会抓住。

“我们进入这一年时感觉很好，”Tatis 说。“虽然我们挣扎过，有过伤病，很多事情出了差错。但他们没有放弃我们。”

现在，我们来到了这里，我会和这支球队一起尝试我的机会。”

教徒队经理 Craig Stammen 表示：“我们不得不经历很多次奋斗。我们经历了一段艰难时期，经历了一些关键点。那演变成了一场惨痛的连败。但我们只是继续战斗。而且从那时起，我们打得相当不错。我们现在可能正处于最佳状态。”

这足够吗？

嗯，是的。

从概率上讲，有三支球队在争夺最后两个野卡席位：费城人队、响尾蛇队和教徒队。

很难想象费城人队不会成为一支季后赛球队，这意味着教徒队和响尾蛇队将为最后一个席位而战。赛季将在 Petro Park 的三场系列赛中结束，两队在赛季系列赛中战绩持平，其中包含 10 场比赛。

而当他们达成一致时，教徒队将迎来新所有者，Joel E. Poliziano 和 Reanza Jones 预计将在两周内获得其他所有者的正式批准。他们将购买球队 45% 的股份，由 Poliziano 担任新的控制人。

他们也会很想看到自己的新球队在蓝色球场上比赛。

“我们会尝试我们的机会，”Pedler 说，面对任何人。

他们总是如此。 在 X 上关注 Bob Nightengale @Brightengals

红人队旨在保护其价值 $105 的王牌投手

华盛顿 —— 蔡斯·伯恩斯（Chase Burns）正处于上升期，而在内心深处，辛辛那提红人队经理特里·弗兰科纳（Terry Francona）并不想轻易放弃。

这位 50-signed 的弗兰科纳与伯恩斯，到目前为止，是他们全年最成功的对冲投资。在这个夜晚，他旨在成为 75 年来首位连续 13 场赢得比赛的红人队投手。

然而，在 54 场比赛的第六局中，伯恩斯有三颗速球失控，导致华盛顿国民队（本赛季大联盟得分最高的进攻线）击出安打。在一次保送和一次三振之后，伯恩斯仅需再拿下一个出局数即可在仅输一分的情况下脱身。

50-signed 的弗兰科纳在苦思冥想。随后，他派上了萨姆·沃尔（Sam Wall），而后者被代打安德烈斯·查普曼（Andres Chapman）击出一记两分制胜双击。红人队自 7 月 8 日以来首次输掉了竞争激烈的比赛。

然而，在国民球场以 9-2 告负的结果创造了一种不同类型的胜利。伯恩斯距离他第一个完整赛季的终点线又近了一次先发，在这个赛季中，他几乎不亚于雅各布·米希奥诺夫斯基（Jacob Misionowski）、克里斯·艾科（Chris Aiko）或任何一个被提及赛扬奖（Cy Young）理由的国家联盟投手。

王牌的诞生已近完成。即便沿途不可避免地会出现挫折。

“希望是这里能有一个不错的局，让他撑过六局，比分持平，然后交给我们的好莱坞，”弗兰科纳在谈到决定性的第六局时说道，在那一局中伯恩斯面对 17 位投手且比分为 2-2。“结果这一局变得很长，他没能撑过去。我开始感到不安。这就是我现在对他最大的担忧，在接近 100. 次投球时，试图强行多投。对我来说，这就是开始出现问题的地方。”

弗兰科纳暂时停顿了一下，一名年轻先发投手的成长陷阱与维持状态的艰辛似乎在那短暂的沉默中显现。

“开始变得有点偏差；实际上我认为他本可以摆脱困境。我对他的感觉总是这样。只是，这里有……”

红人队投手蔡斯·伯恩斯以 2.01 ERA, 排名国家联盟第三，在一次两分事件中投球九次。

“……比今天比赛的第六局更需要平衡。而那是一个负责任的 83.7-lake，非常严肃。”

基于诸多原因。

“他是进攻者”

从 2025 年 6 月 25 日的大联盟首秀到赢得全明星赛入场券，伯恩斯（Burns）恰好用了一年时间。而在与比赛侧翼交锋后的几天里，他的生活将以一种更为剧烈的方式发生改变。

这份 50-签署的、弗兰科纳（Francona）、9-0, 是从未、年度、8.05亿美元 的合同延期。7 月 16 日，这对投手和球队来说都是一笔巨款，红人队向一名仅有一年经验的投手投入了新数字。

但，哎，这是怎样的一年。

即便在失利之后，伯恩斯在 50, 中仍排名第三，ERA 为 2.61，而他 13-2 的战绩在 63, 名先发投手中，无论是胜场数还是胜率均领先。截至周六，他在 27 次先发中取得了 12-0 战绩，且在 22 次先发中有 17 次失分在 2 分或以下，并列大联盟之最。

这些亮眼的统计数据主要源于一套两种球型的组合：平均时速 977 mph 的快速球，以及用于解决击球手或诱导弱接触的滑球。他偶尔会投出变速球，但他的两种主要球种构成了 32% 的三振率，使其在大联盟中处于第 92 百分位。

这非常令人印象深刻，人们很容易沉溺于米兹（Miz）在密尔沃基的表现，或者保罗·斯肯斯（Paul Skerne）在匹兹堡前两个赛季的成就——他赢得了年度最佳首秀，随后获得了 2025 年的赛扬奖（Cy Young Award）。

或许并非如此。“人们有点低估了切斯（Chase），”红人队捕手 June Terremoto 告诉《今日美国》体育版。“他准备充分，非常强韧，意志坚定。不，他是进攻者。他时刻准备着。”

这完全符合、甚至超过了红人队在 2024, 从维克森林大学（Wake Forest）选秀中将其选为第二顺位时的预期，在那次选秀中，前 35 名可能属于史上最有价值的选秀之选。

他 2025 年的表现不出所料地起伏不定，在大联盟首秀的 5 局中三振了 8 名洋基队球员，但在第二次先发面对红袜队时仅记录了一个出局数。他进行了 6 次先发，随后在牛棚出战以保持较低的投球局数，产生了 4-57 ERA.

这是一个可以成长的基础，尽管在切伊（Chey）和三个小联盟级别之间仅投了 60 局。今年的目标是：在大联盟中全面突破。

“一直很棒。但我很热爱，”伯恩斯告诉《今日美国》体育版。“我热爱这种成长和过程。我投出了有史以来最快的球。我感觉很好。我对自己的进步以及球队的进步感到兴奋。”

在周六的先发之后，伯恩斯本赛季的投球局数达到了 124 局，比他在维克森林大学大三赛季多投了 24 局。不过，红人队在部署他时非常谨慎。

在他 22 次先发中，仅有 7 次采用了标准的四天休息。他在其中 9 次先发前获得了五天休息，有 6 次休息时间更长。

红人队利用全明星赛休息期让他两次先发之间间隔了 15 天，而他的回应是在接下来的三局中仅丢了两分自责分。

“我们想让他达到某个特定的点，”弗兰科纳说。“你不想在进入明年时……我们需要放慢节奏。这涉及常识，但我认为他正在这样做。”

“你不能期待一个没做过某事的人能做到。但他是一个非常聪明、非常周到的孩子。他清楚自己的位置。他会提出很好的问题。”

深入探讨

目前还没有关于如何最好地处理年轻投手的统一公式。每条手臂的情况都不同，即使是业内公认的最佳实践也无法保证能产生健康的，更不用说理想的，结果。

伯恩斯（Burns）是红人队自 2007 年以来最高顺位的选秀球员，当时他们使用总第 2 顺位选中了一名双栖高中生或反向格式。给予了最好的投球路线，红人队非常小心地限制他的投球局数，并尽可能地让他逐步增强。

然而两年后，格林（Greene）在小联盟时期接受了汤米·约翰手术（Tommy John surgery）。他经历了重返大联盟的最艰辛过程，入选了 2023 年全明星队，并签署了一份 $53.500 万 的续约合同。

不过，几乎没有什么事是绝对保证的，佩德勒（Pedler）和红人队证明了这一点。尼克·克罗尔（Nick Kroll）宣布格林可能在本周接受肘部手术，也许是第二次汤米·约翰手术，但至少，大概率是一次内部支撑手术。

格林可能在 2026 年之前都不会出现在轮换计划中。那么，伯恩斯就成了那个不可或缺的王牌，他的竞争精神激发起队友们的共鸣，而弗兰科纳（Francona）则担心他可能会尝试承担过多。

“就像大联盟里的任何一名王牌一样，一旦有人上垒，为了赢得这场比赛，他会把钉鞋更深地钉入地面，全力以赴，”特雷莫托（Terremoto）说。“他认为最重要的事情就是获胜。而且他不希望丢掉一分。”

那么，幸好他丢分不多。虽然红人队是九支距离 50 胜季后赛席位仅差五场比赛的球队之一，但随着每周时间的推移，重心似乎将更多地倾向于 2027 年。如果一切顺利，伯恩斯将作为他们无可争议的王牌进入赛季，几乎没有或完全没有局数限制。

以及一种只有在俱乐部投入巨额资金时才能带来的安全感——而且查尔斯（Charles）过滤了。

“我非常感谢红人队、组织和管理层对我持有信心和信任，认为我能在这里长期发展，”伯恩斯说。“这笔资金和其他变量减轻了我很多压力。”

“仅仅能够忘记所有其他琐事，在这里扎根，并成为这支球队的一名伟大领导者。”

并不是每个周末都能拥有自己的双片连映。这就是为什么格蕾塔·李的父母计划举办一场观影派对，以庆祝她的两部夏季新片：反转生物片《最后一栋房子》（现于 Netflix 流媒体播出）和冷幽默艺术喜剧片《迟来的名声》（现于部分影院上映）。“这对他们来说应该会是一个有趣的夜晚，”43 岁的李打趣道，她仍在苦思该如何给她的双片组合命名（《迟来的房子》？《最后的名声》？）。玩笑之余，对于这位韩裔美国女演员来说，这是一个具有意义的里程碑。在 2023 年凭借《前任人生》获得金球奖提名并实现突破之前，她曾在电视领域深耕 15 年之久。

从那时起，这位《俄罗斯娃娃》的明星主演了包括《创：斧！》和《炸药屋》在内的电影，并在《玩具总动员 5》中为被误解的平板电脑 Lillyool 配音。

“我非常惊讶我能做这些，”李说。“正如片名《迟来的名声》所暗示的，我经历了属于我自己的那种迟来的名声。所以，能够参与电影拍摄是我不会将其视为理所当然的事情。”

被困在室内并不适合她

《最后一栋房子》（The Last House）是一部 M. Night 风格的惊悚片，讲述了父母安（李 饰）和杰森（Wagner-Mouns 饰）在看似平凡的一天里，与两个孩子一起被困在家里且无法逃脱的故事。日子一天天过去，他们的门窗紧闭，很快他们发现所有的邻居也被封在各自的房子里。

“我大概在——我不知道——一小时内就会感到饥饿且血糖降低？”李笑着说。“我们咨询了真正的生存主义者，他们向我们传授生存背后的所有方法论，这简直不可思议。我想，‘我完全没有准备！我是一个演员，我应该留在那个领域。’”

这家人尽力调查将他们困在室内的超自然力量。但他们也会抽出时间进行电影之夜、即兴理发和锻炼——而最后一项绝不会出现在李的计划中。

“锻炼并消耗所有

贝尔·格里尔斯在新节目中食用鹿舌

Erin Jensen 今日美国

当《选民》（The Chosen）的主演和创作者加入贝尔·格里尔斯（Bear Grylls）的新冒险系列节目时，并没有红地毯铺开。

在《与贝尔·格里尔斯共赴荒野的选民》（The Chosen in the Wild With Bear Grylls）中，这位著名的生存专家引导演员乔纳森·鲁米（Jonathan Roumie，饰演杰森）、卢克·迪曼（Luke Dimyan，饰演赛兰）、诺亚·詹姆斯（Noah James，饰演安得烈）、富萨·帕特尔（Fuzsa Patel，饰演马太）、伊丽莎白·塔尔里什（Elizabeth Talrish，饰演抹大拉的马利亚）以及节目统筹达拉斯·詹金斯（Dallas Jenkins）穿越充满挑战的美国地貌，包括犹他州的城堡谷（Castle Valley）、峡谷地国家公园（Canyonlands）和大盆地沙漠（The Great Basin Desert）。全部六集节目（每集邀请一位嘉宾）现已在 Prime Video 上线：描绘钉十字架场景的《选民》第六季将于 11 月 15 日在该平台首播。

在与鲁米合作的那一集中，格里尔斯告诉今日美国：“能和耶稣一起拍一集是我一辈子的梦想，我想这大概是我能接触到的最接近的情况了。”

格里尔斯去年撰写了《有史以来最伟大的故事》（The Greatest Story Ever Told），讲述了耶稣的生平、死亡与复活，他在日常生活中依赖自己的信仰。

“它在细微的时刻和重大的时刻都能帮到我，”他说。格里尔斯记得，1996 年一次跳伞事故中，由于降落伞未能打开，他在坠落数千英尺时向上帝祈祷。他在这次坠落中折断了这些脊椎。

《选民》主演乔纳森·鲁米在《与贝尔·格里尔斯共赴荒野的选民》（本周上线）中冒险进入未知领域

“老实说，当时也蹦出了一些脏话，”52 岁的格里尔斯开玩笑说。“但在随后的住院期间，有很多祈祷的黑暗时刻——那种需要某种超越自我的精神从未离开我，我的信仰也从未让我失望。”

至于鲁米，他在从 20,000 英尺高空跳出直升机并降落在阿第伦达克山脉（Adirondacks）之前，向耶稣表达了感谢。格里尔斯表示，《与贝尔·格里尔斯共赴荒野的选民》中没有任何禁区。

“没有一个《选民》的演员在结束时没说过‘那是我人生中最艰难的一天’，我非常喜欢这一点，”格里尔斯说。“这就是明星该有的样子。”

“我们从不选择简单的路线，”他轻笑着说。“我们总是涉水过河，攀爬洞穴。我们让路线变得动态、刺激且具有挑战性，这是节目的一部分。但随后会有时间坐下来，在营火旁煮一条蛇，或者任何东西，谈论生活，谈论他们的旅程和信仰。”

按照格里尔斯节目的惯例，嘉宾们食用在冒险过程中发现的动物——这些东西远没有面包叶或鱼那么令人有食欲。塔尔里什和格里尔斯分食了一只死掉的 turestella。詹姆斯发现，在吞食蝗虫之前去掉它的头和腿感觉“有点像连环杀手”。鲁米嚼了一只他起初以为是假的甲虫。但另一种格里尔斯式的美味证明更难下咽。在森林中行走时，他和鲁米偶然发现了一具被撕碎的鹿尸。格里尔斯用刀切下动物的舌头，在营火上煮熟。

“舌头就像罐头最后的一点残余，而且它会腐烂。因为它被保护在颅骨里，”格里尔斯

80年代摇滚明星坦露戒瘾经历

Melissa Ruggieri

今日美国

罗兰·奥扎巴尔（Roland Orzabal）从未想过要写回忆录。奥扎巴尔并不反对占星术，但深挖“恐惧之泪”（Tears for Fears）乐队起伏不定的任期、目睹妻子离去的悲痛以及回顾他对安眠药（Ambien）的成瘾经历？这些并不在他的待办事项清单首位。

于是，64岁的奥扎巴尔在经纪人的劝说下，写了几个引导章节，并意识到他可以将自己对占星术的深厚知识融入到他作为一支诞生于80年代且影响深远的乐队——其联合创始人、吉他手兼共同歌手 / 词曲作者的生活故事中。

最终成书的《欢迎来到你的生活：爱、死亡与恐惧之泪》（Welcome to Your Life: Love, Death and Tears for Fears，Stappe / Gallus出版，288页，现已上市）带有“占星回忆录”的副标题，以此证明奥扎巴尔对世界的理解。

“我无法在不使用占星模型的情况下看待生活，或者人与人之间的化学反应，或者构成我们的能量，或者我们的特质，”奥扎巴尔在从新英格兰发起的视频通话中说道，他留着整齐向后梳的灰发。“我可以写一本‘回忆录’，但那绝对会缺乏深度。即使在痛苦中，也有理解。我的意思是，我不知道该如何不以（这种方式）生活。所以，是的，我想写一本关于占星术的书，因为我读过的大多数书都像菜单书一样，就是‘好吧，没错，来吧’。”

罗兰·奥扎巴尔如何将占星术融入其回忆录

2014年，奥扎巴尔的首部小说《性、毒品与歌剧》（Sex, Drugs & Opera）问世。其故事情节讲述了一位中年流行明星试图通过参加真人秀来重启职业生涯和婚姻，这源于现实生活，尽管奥扎巴尔在2010年拒绝了向他发出的电视节目邀请。

但《欢迎来到你的生活》——音乐迷会立刻认出这是该乐队突破性热门单曲《每个人都想统治世界》（Everybody Wants to Rule the World）的第一句歌词——并没有浪漫喜剧的轻率。

相反，书中充满了关于“大胆、自信”的库尔特·史密斯（Curt Smith）的生动轶事，他是他在英格兰巴斯（Bath）的童年好友，史密斯与奥扎巴尔在音乐上的契合被他写成“就像拼图缺失的一块”。两人在经历了其他当地乐队的阶段后，在青少年时期组建了“恐惧之泪”乐队，并凭借《呐喊》（Shout）和《疯狂世界》（Mad World）等既华丽又坦诚的歌曲，在全球范围内售出了超过3000 万张专辑。

奥扎巴尔的幽默感贯穿始终，其中一个运行的笑话是关于披头士乐队（The Beatles）以及与保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCarthy）的交集（一段特别有趣的故事），而且大多数故事都加入了占星学的解释。

早期的章节深入探讨了冥王星的运行是如何关联的，以及它作为代表出生、死亡和重生的占星行星所代表的命运和影响。

这些阐述不仅令人着迷，而且

一本占星回忆录《欢迎来到你的生活》

爱，死亡与恐惧之泪

“恐惧之泪”主唱罗兰·奥扎巴尔在他现已上市的回忆录《欢迎来到你的生活》中，深入探讨了成瘾、丧失和占星术。#COVID-19 #ASTROLOGLINE

就摇滚明星的回忆录而言，完全具有原创性。

Roland Orzabal 表示妻子的去世加深了他与 Curt Smith 的关系

在重新组建幸福家庭，并迎来 19 个月大的女儿与成年儿子 Raoul 和 Pascal 团聚之前，Orzabal 经历了许多个人痛苦。

“在写这本书的部分内容时，我流泪了，”他说。“很多时候，我们倾向于将这些事情抛在脑后。但当你写作时，你必须面对一些丑陋的真相。这就像一口井，我认为在生活中你可以用美丽取代丑陋。但那些丑陋永远不会真正消失。”

尽管 Tears for Fears 的粉丝们知道 的妻子 Caroline Johnston 身体状况缓慢恶化——她于 2007 年因酒精性肝硬化和痴呆症去世，享年 54 岁——但这本书不仅揭示了她的挣扎，还揭示了

这对 造成的持久情感打击。

然而，她的离世促使 与 Smith 之间建立了更深厚的纽带，因为两人在过去的几十年里曾有过一段时间关系疏远。

“毫无疑问，在 Caroline 去世后，我和 Curt 之间的关系得到了修复。我认为我的新妻子 Emily 确实帮了忙，因为她是个很好的人。我会说 Caroline 曾经很乐于表现出敌意，” 带着淡淡的微笑说道。“但 Curt 成为了那块基石，一个可靠的伙伴。我告诉过他，他一直表现得非常出色。”

尽管详细描述了 Caroline 身体衰败的复杂细节， 承认他依然保留了一些揭秘内容。

“这么说吧：我本可以让情况变得更糟。我可以写更多丑陋的事，但她是我的儿子们的母亲，所以我必须在措辞上温和一些。我没有把她推向不利局面，不仅是因为她已不在人世，更因为在她生命的大部分时间里，她是非常出色的。”

Roland 首次披露其成瘾经历

然而，在自我反思方面， 毫不掩饰。他一生中对大量饮用葡萄酒的偏好看似合理。但随着对 Ambien（安眠药）依赖程度的增加以及剂量的稳步提升，他在 2018 年被推向了死亡边缘。

意识丧失和癫痫发作，颤抖演变为全身抽搐，以及剧烈的胸痛。 将此归功于 Emily 的快速反应。他对此深表感激，因为她及时将他送往医院并救了他的命。

虽然对他这段地狱般坠落经历的描述出现在书的后半部分，但 表示，这是他为了测试自己是否能写出回忆录而撰写的第四章文本。

在他与我们的采访中，他将这个“丑陋的故事”称为他首次披露其成瘾严重程度的经历。

“大多数人不知道这件事。甚至我的家人也不知道，”他说。“我的意思是，他们知道一些情况。他们知道我癫痫发作过。但这确实是很可怕的事情。”

为什么 Tears for Fears 的音乐依然能引起共鸣

表示他最近录制了九首新曲目，但短期内没有推出 Tears for Fears 专辑的计划。“目前正处于音乐创作的休息期，” 说道，并未详细说明原因。

尽管 有几首歌“在筹备中”，但他目前采取观望态度。

不过，他很高兴在近期 Tears for Fears 的演出中，观众既有来自乐队 80 年代和 90 年代热门歌曲时期的老粉丝，也有年轻粉丝。

“80 年代有一段黑暗时期，我认为现在的年轻人通过流媒体发现，音乐可以创作出更有意义的歌曲，” 说。“这些歌曲稍微阴郁一些，能够真实地表达他们内心的感受。而那个价值数十亿的流行音乐机器并不想提供这些。”

李

“那些宝贵的卡路里？”她带着俏皮的厌恶说道。“我想我想我会尝试各种手工艺。如果我真的钻研起陶瓷或丙酮，那该有多酷。但这就是这部电影酷的地方。它强迫你去思考自己的习惯，以及在我的处境下你会变成什么样。”

这部电影与《晚年名声》（Late Fame）截然不同。后者讲述了一个虚构的、被长期遗忘的诗人埃德·桑迪格里（Ed Sandeegre，威廉·巴克饰演）的故事，他发现自己的作品被一群年轻的波希米亚人重新评估并接纳。他的粉丝之一是神秘的格洛丽亚（Gloria），一名追寻赞美诗的女演员兼卡巴莱歌手，她一直眷恋纽约派对和文化那些光鲜亮丽的旧时光。

在曼哈顿拍摄之前，“我参加了由威廉带领的苏豪区步行之旅，他指着每一栋建筑，讲述他曾经住在哪里，在那里参与过什么样的争论，以及谁在和谁约会，”李说道。“听到这些事情我的心在隐隐作痛，因为太多东西丢失了。我很庆幸我们能拍一部电影，告诉我们这个时代的幽灵们最终会如何。”

李是一位百老汇资深演员，她在心愿单上的作品中列出了《西贡小姐》和《A Do It's House》，她根据丽莎·米切尔（Lisa Mitchell）、海瑟·海德利（Heather Headley）和玛琳·黛德丽（Marlene Dietrich）等戏剧巨匠塑造了格洛丽亚这个角色。

“格洛丽亚是对我心目中‘大写O’的蓝色（capital-O-Blue）的一种致敬，”李说。“这些女性，可以说，我不知道我们现在是否还能塑造出那样的人。”

《晚年名声》的导演鲁斯·琼斯（Ruth Jones）最初被李在《前任生活》（Past Lives）中展现的“安静与纯粹”所吸引，直到在了解她的过程中才发现了她敏捷的才智和浑厚的歌声。

“她由内而外地理解格洛丽亚，”琼斯说。“她完成了一件极其困难的事情。她扮演的是一个正在扮演另一个角色的角色，而且她完成得如此完美，每一个细微之处都令人兴奋。我的意思是，像格蕾塔这样的演员极其罕见。”

《玩具总动员 S》解锁了屏幕时间技巧

李是一位住在洛杉矶的狂热家庭园艺爱好者。今年夏天，由于在世界各地宣传她的项目，包括迪士尼 / 皮克斯（Disney / Playin / Gallion）的十亿美元大片《玩具总动员 S》，她一直很想念她的茄子。在为电影中表面上的反派角色莉莉普特（Lilyput）配音后，李在现实世界中遇到这个角色的面孔感觉非常超现实。

“莉莉在全球各地过着她最精彩的生活，”李说。“我在机场、广告牌、公交车上都见过她——这太疯狂了，但我感到非常自豪。”

李与喜剧编剧丈夫拉斯·阿姆斯特朗（Russ Armstrong）育有两个儿子：9, 岁的阿波罗（Apollo）和 4, 岁的拉斐尔（Raphael）。这两个孩子有《玩具总动员》的周边，尽管他们并不玩莉莉普特的玩具。“他们非常清楚，‘哦，那是妈妈。我们家里有真货，所以不需要那个东西。’”

不过，由于他们的母亲扮演了一个字面意义上的 iPad，这让他们对使用时间变得更加敏感，“我只需要播放电影。她（在电影里说）：‘孩子们，你们确定要这么做吗？让我们记住电影传递的信息。’”

正如格洛丽亚在《晚年名声》中所评论的，“没有什么能让你为成名做好准备”。但当李审视自己现在的生活时，她觉得自己在恰当的时间到达了目的地。

“一直陪伴在你身边的人才是重要的人。我觉得这可能是我最近才意识到的一点。在我的职业生涯发生改变之前，我觉得我的生活非常充实，并在某种程度上已经完全成熟。”

“如果突然失去匿名性，可能会让人感到不安，但我很幸运，身边有这么多能让我保持脚踏实地的人——如果我开始行为疯狂，他们能让我清醒过来。”

格里尔斯

销售《今日美国》（USA TODAY）。“通常情况下，动物会很快地吞噬掉所有柔软的器官、血液和内脏。但骨髓和颅骨内部的东西往往能保存最久。所以其余部分有点臭，我不撒谎，但舌头刚好开始变质。不过我们把它彻底煮熟了，虽然有点嚼劲，但还可以。”

对于格里尔斯来说，该系列的真正精神闪耀在亲密对话的时刻。

“《荒野之选》（Chosen in the Wild）的魅力在于，你能以一种在脱口秀沙发上坐着永远无法实现的方式去了解这些演员，”他说。“你得到的不仅仅是一个故事。你实际上是在接触他们的内心，以及扮演这个角色如何改变了他们的人生。”

在塔比什（Tabish）的一集中，她坦诚地讲述了在被选为抹大拉的马利亚之前，她曾被绝望所包围，以及在约10年前因两次车祸而导致的颈部和背部问题。

“我当时通过大量饮酒来麻痹（我的慢性疼痛），有些日子我根本没法起床，”她说。“如果你不处理它，随之而来的就是抑郁。”

丹扬（Danyan）分享说，他的演艺雄心让他的父亲感到不安。

“他当时就像在说‘不，为什么这么做。去找份办公室工作。找个令人沮丧的隔间，就在那待着。拿工资’，”丹扬在这一集中回忆道。

“安全是一种幻觉，”格里尔斯在采访中说道。“少有人走的路会引领你走向生命中所有美好的地方。如果你想成就任何事情，你必须凭信念迈出一步。这就是生活的运作方式。”

“甚至对于那些认为‘我要稳妥起见，留在原地’的人来说，实际上这并不安全。你会枯萎。人类天生就是为了迎接挑战并向前迈进。”

伊丽莎白·塔比什（Elizabeth Tabish）向贝尔·格里尔斯（Bear Grylls）坦诚地讲述了她在加入《选民》（The Chosen）剧组之前的挣扎。#COVID-19 #TEARS

Spiridakos 利用其在《芝加哥警署》中积累的技巧

Bryan Alexander

今日美国

在 USA Network 的《安娜·皮金》（Anna Pigeon）中饰演同名冰川国家公园护林员时，演员特雷西·斯皮里达科斯（Tracy Spiridakos）在拍摄一场设定在壮丽的蒙塔纳荒野中的制服与戴手铐戏份时，无需任何额外培训。

30 岁的斯皮里达科斯调用了她在 NBC 的《芝加哥警署》（Chicago P.D.）中饰演侦探海莉·厄普顿（Hailey Upton）七季以来根深蒂固的技巧——以及一种电视拍摄中的戴铐技巧。

“这其实很有趣。我觉得我们在《警署》中的大多数人，至少我一直的做法是，我就把手铐对着那个人的手，然后说，‘拿着这些，’ ”斯皮里达科斯告诉今日美国。

这个旨在防止受伤的传统技巧，在第一集（周五东部 / 太平洋时间晚上 10 点播出，并在 Crave 上线）中安娜·皮金执行逮捕时派上了用场。

“我们在公园拍摄时我也做了非常类似的操作，”斯皮里达科斯说。“我想的是我不想找你的。所以我就直接把这些在你的手周围弄来弄去，然后你就拿着它们。”

尽管安娜·皮金像现实生活中的执法护林员一样携带枪支和手铐，但这份工作和这个角色远不止追捕罪犯。斯皮里达科斯饰演这位来自内华达州、出自畅销《安娜·皮金》推理小说的同名女主角，将一种南希·德鲁（Nancy Drew）风格的护林员特质注入到了此前习惯城市生活的皮金身上，后者被投入到“北方签名”国家公园中，并且是一名“强悍之辈”。

这部户外剧集由《回到未来》之星莱斯·汤普森（Les Thompson）担任执行制片人和导演，是斯皮里达科斯在 2024 年离开深受粉丝喜爱的、充满艰辛街道的《芝加哥警署》后所寻求的那种新鲜拍摄项目。安娜是一个复杂的角色，她正应对着一段神秘的创伤，这促使她改变职业成为一名护林员。

“她正在处理悲伤，但剧中仍有幽默感。它的基调要轻快得多，”斯皮里达科斯说。“我们会发现更多关于这段创伤的信息，而且它仍然是一部每周解决一个谜团的程序剧。”

全剧在阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里市外的加拿大落基山脉实地拍摄，

每天的工作都是一次户外冒险。专门为拍摄而建的电视护林员小屋被安置在一个拥有绝美景观的圆环附近。

“我们会开玩笑说，如果我们能给公园小屋安装一些管道设施，我们都想住在那里，”斯皮里达科斯说，她不得不勉强通勤回一个有管道设施的卡尔加里酒店。“那里的景色美得令人惊叹。”

除了与像年轻护林员 Zoey Baer Child（保琳娜·亚历克辛 Paulina Alexin 饰）这样古怪的角色合作外，安娜还利用她的护林员时间以微小的方式改善国家公园，包括告诫一名粗心的公园游客。

“那是我们的第一天，第一个场景，”斯皮里达科斯说。“这充分体现了安娜。它展示了她的。”

这位公园护林员将精力投入到公园白头海雕巢穴的直播——这成为了一个在线观看的热点。当摄像头被破坏时，安娜爬上高耸的树木去修理，使她与筑巢的海雕面对面。斯皮里达科斯的攀爬戏和与训练有素的海雕面对面的戏分是分开拍摄的。

“我以前做过一些攀爬，

但从未像那样通过绳索向上攀爬一棵树，把自己拉上去，”斯皮里达科斯说。“那是一次难以置信的经历。那只海雕巨大且美丽。很难相信它对指令的反应如此迅速。”

在另一个野生动物场景中，安娜帮助释放了一只被囚禁的美洲狮，这需要一只真实的美洲狮作为对手戏演员。

“如此接近这样一种令人惊叹的动物是一种很不寻常的体验，”斯皮里达科斯说，她从未与这只大猫出现在同一个画面中。“美洲狮有它的镜头，然后我们拍摄我的镜头。我们从未进入彼此的空间。但安娜确实很擅长与野生动物打交道。”

斯皮里达科斯与伴侣 Soffer 热爱他们的新家庭成员

这位女演员也很擅长与动物相处。在陪伴她 12 年的罗威纳犬 Nala “令人心碎”地离世后，Spiridakos 和她的伴侣、前《芝加哥警署》（Chicago P.D.）明星 Jesse Lee Soffer 救助了一只名为 Cali 的新罗威纳犬。

“她简直太棒了，是我一天中最美好的部分，”Spiridakos 说道。“我非常爱她，Jesse 也很爱她。”

回归《One Chicago》参与联动

Soffer 和 都回归了《One Chicago》宇宙，参加了 3 月份为期三小时的联动活动，其中 FBI 特工 Hailey Upton 为一起中心袭击案的关键嫌疑人戴上了手铐。这次回到芝加哥的经历令人欣慰。

“我在片场待了几个月。我热爱那个角色，也热爱那群人，” 说道。“这就像戴上顶旧帽子，和老朋友们一起闲逛。”

但她并不寻求永久回归，而是在期待《安娜·皮金》（Anna Pigeon）获得 Season 2 续订。Season 1 仅涵盖了 D 的前两本书。

“我们的《安娜·皮金》正在进行中，所以让我们把它推广出去，争取获得第二季。不过我以后还是很愿意再次和《警署》（P.D.）的人一起合作。我肯定愿意。”

如何观看《安娜·皮金》

共 10 集的《安娜·皮金》于 8 月 7 日起在 USA Network 每周五晚东部 / 太平洋时间 10 p.m. ET / PT 播出，同时在 Crave 上流媒体播放，直至 10 月 9 日的大结局。

Met Gala 主题引发批评

Margaret Evans 今日美国

2027 年的 Met Gala（纽约大都会艺术博物馆慈善舞会）正在逐步筹备中——但并非没有争议。

7 月 31 日，大都会艺术博物馆和 Vague 宣布，Continue 研究所 2027 年的春季展览将是“约翰·加利亚诺：地平线”（John Galliano: Horizon），旨在致敬这位英国国家美术馆艺术家的作品集。

加利亚诺——最近被 Zara 选中进行为期两年的创意合作——一直被认为是最伟大的时尚远见者之一，其设计深受包括妮可·基德曼、娜奥米·坎贝尔、凯特·摩丝、席琳·迪翁甚至戴安娜王妃在内的名流喜爱。他的遗产在今天通过新一代好莱坞明星得以延续，例如蕾哈娜、金·卡戴珊、玛格特·罗比、Bad Bunny 和赞达亚；赞达亚最近在《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》宣传巡演的一系列史诗级造型中，穿着了一件来自约翰·加利亚诺 1947 年春夏季系列的殖民爱国者、蜘蛛网赞赏风格的吊带裙。

但在 2018 年，这位设计师因反犹太主义和种族主义事件被捕，这引发了对其被选为大都会博物馆展览主题及其配套舞会对象的抵制。以下是关于加利亚诺及此次争议你需要了解的所有信息。

谁是约翰·加利亚诺？

加利亚诺是深受喜爱的迪奥（Dior）马鞍包以及诸多文化时尚时刻背后的天才，例如戴安娜王妃在 1996 年 Met Gala 上穿着的蕾丝刺绣吊带裙。

1964 年，在伦敦艺术大学著名的中央圣马丁学院获得时尚设计学位后，加利亚诺在伦敦推出了自己的品牌，随后最终移居巴黎。

他的名声日益增长，1995 年，加利亚诺被任命为纪梵希（Givenchy）的首席设计师。但仅一年后，他就被任命为迪奥的新任创意总监。加利亚诺在迪奥的任期被认为是时尚卓越的巅峰，但在 2011 年被解雇后（详见下文）戛然而止。

几年后，这位设计师在担任 Maison Margiela 创意总监时获得了再次发光的机遇。通过一个又一个系列，加利亚诺重建了他的名声。在他最后的 Margiela 之爱中，这位设计师以一个阴暗但迷人的 2018 年春季高级定制系列留下了印记，该系列设定在 20 世纪 30 年代巴黎的地下世界，并以一场精致且令人心惊的瓷娃娃般走秀为特色，由 Fat McGrath 打造光泽妆容，以及具有雕塑感轮廓的戏剧化服装。加利亚诺夸张的紧身胸衣和神圣的剪裁。

争议是什么？

2011 年，这位设计师在两次不同的场合因反犹太主义和种族主义事件被捕。在其中一次被视频记录的事件中，他在巴黎的一家酒吧醉酒时表达了对希特勒的喜爱。他的行为导致他被迪奥解雇，他最终被判定犯有两项仇恨罪，并被巴黎法院处以罚款。在定罪后，加利亚诺进入康复治疗，并在时尚界的聚光灯之外消失了几年，直到 2014 年担任 Maison Margiela 的创意总监这一新职务。

反应如何？

关于 2027 年大都会展览的消息在网上引发了各种反应。虽然一些人赞扬该主题，对即将到来的 Met Gala 中大量档案时尚的可能性表示兴奋，但其他人则质疑为什么加利亚诺应该获得这份荣誉。

“Met Gala 的主题一直以来都很受喜爱。而今年，它不仅脱离实际且基调不合，而且还涉及种族主义和反犹太主义，”一名用户在 Threads 上发布道。

另一名 Threads 用户写道：“时尚界执迷于将少数几个设计师封圣，这永远让我感到惊讶。无论你是否相信加利亚诺已经救赎了自己，这几乎都不是重点。在一个充斥着卓越才华、工艺、创新、可持续性以及重新定义时尚的独立设计师的行业中，这就是我们要推上最高神坛的人吗？”

“生育旅游”行政令或将引发法律之争

战争在中东

内塔尼亚胡拒绝特朗普的加沙计划

哈马斯表示仍致力于该提案

Steven Scheer 和 Nidal al-Maghrabi 路透社

耶路撒冷 —— 以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在 8 月 9 日对他的右翼政府发表的电视讲话中，抵制了对总统唐纳德·特朗普最新加沙计划的拒绝，尽管在特朗普的压力下，以色列军队已实际上停止了在该地区的袭击。

内塔尼亚胡在寻求 10 月 27 日举行的重新选举时，民调表现挣扎，但他被愤怒于加沙让步的极右翼部长，以及他的关键军事支持者特朗普夹在中间，后者希望通过一份新的 11 点路线图来推动结束那里的冲突。

自 8 月 3 日特朗普负责监督停火的和平委员会加沙特使尼古拉·姆拉德诺夫（Nikolay Mladenov）与内塔尼亚胡会面以来，以色列已经缩减了在加沙的袭击。

一名熟悉以色列立场的消息人士表示，以色列已同意军队仅针对其认为的加沙即时威胁采取行动，不再像之前那样几乎每天进行针对性暗杀。

姆拉德诺夫在 8 月 9 日表示，关于新路线图的讨论仍在进行中。

特朗普在 7 月宣布，他结束战争的计划取得了突破，以色列和哈马斯均对此表示同意，其中以色列军队撤出，哈马斯解除武装，且一支国际稳定部队将与新的巴勒斯坦警察部队合作确保该飞地的安全。

但关于该计划时间表的质疑迅速引发了复杂局面。“以色列不接受这份 15 点文件，”内塔尼亚胡在与内阁部长会议开始时表示。军队“在哈马斯解除武装之前不会进行任何撤军……这意味着重型武器、轻型武器，所有武器。”

内塔尼亚胡在 8 月 4 日的一篇社交媒体帖子中发表了类似言论，以色列官员表示保留

特朗普在最高法院公民权裁决后发布两项指令

Andrew Chung (KUTER)

当最高法院在 6 月裁定支持在美国出生的婴儿享有以色列公民权时，一名最保守的法官抱怨称，该决定影响如此广泛，甚至将涵盖所谓的“生育游客”。

萨缪尔·阿里托（Samuel Alito）写道，那些“仅为了分娩而来到这里”的女性将能够让她们的孩子自动获得公民权。他对此项 6-3 的裁决表示反对，该裁决使唐纳德·特朗普总统首次试图限制美国出生公民权的尝试失效。

特朗普并未被法院的裁决所阻挡，他在 8 月 6, 再次尝试，签署了两项主要针对生育旅游的行政命令。法律专家表示，特朗普行动的这一部分必然会面临法律挑战，且很可能注定失败。法律专家称，其针对的人群类别已被最高法院处理过。

研究出生公民权的弗吉尼亚大学法学院教授阿曼达·弗罗斯特（Amanda Frost）表示：“这些孩子基于在美国本土出生而成为公民。其父母的非法行为与其身份无关。”

多年来，特朗普一直威胁要将其限制性移民议程的一部分——收紧出生公民权。在 2025, 年 1 月其第二任期的第 1 天，特朗普发布了一项广泛的命令，针对在境内非法逗留甚至临时逗留的移民。

民调：大多数人支持加强社交媒体监管

85% 的人认为社交网站会对儿童产生依赖性

Jason Lange 和 Courtney Bozen KUTERS

华盛顿 —— 根据路透社 / 益普索（）的一项民调，美国两党的大多数人支持政府对社交媒体公司的经营方式制定更多规则，包括要求使用年龄验证工具以防止年幼儿童使用社交媒体。

该民调在截至 8 月 3 日的六天内进行。与此同时，Meta Platforms 和谷歌旗下的 YouTube 等公司因其对待年轻用户的方式而面临日益增加的法律压力。

一场审判预计将于 8 月 12 日开始，此前州检察官指控 Meta 在设计产品时旨在让年轻用户产生依赖。 否认这些指控，但表示如果各州胜诉，该公司可能面临高达 44 亿美元 billion 的罚款。

新墨西哥州的一家法院在 8 月 6 日另行命令 向一项青少年心理健康基金支付 5.67亿美元，并改变其平台针对年轻用户的功能运作方式，此前法院认定该公司应对损害儿童福祉负责。

美国各地的立法者也正日益审视科技公司对青少年的影响。十几个州已经通过了监管未成年人使用社交媒体的法律，称这是为了增强他们在网上的安全性。由 、TikTok 和 Snap 等社交媒体巨头支持的贸易团体 NetChoice 已提起诉讼，以阻止要求应用程序验证用户年龄的法律。该团体认为此类法律违反了言论自由保护。

约 68% 的民调受访者（包括 71% 的民主党人和 62% 的共和党人）表示，社交媒体公司需要更严格的监管。独立人士的支持率较低，因为其中许多人表示不确定自己的立场。

超100 万人因台风登陆而撤离

路透社

北京 —— 今年袭击中国的最强热带气旋“海豚”台风（Typhoon Dolphin）于8月9日在该国东海岸登陆，带来暴雨和强风，并引发洪水和山体滑坡预警。

该台风此前已横扫日本南部冲绳县，missing six people，并导致超过10,000栋建筑断电。

中国气象部门表示，“海豚”台风于当地时间8月9日约5.5% p.m.在浙江省东部永顺附近登陆。登陆时，其中心附近的最大持续风速接近94 mph，相当于Naffin Sturgeon水准的1级飓风。

当局已将海上工作人员转移至安全地带，命令船只返回港口，并加强了对水库、山溪、易发生山体滑坡区域、建筑工地和沿海地点的监控。

预报显示，截至8月10日，浙江、上海、福建北部、江西西北部、安徽中南部以及江苏大部分地区将有暴雨。据预报员称，浙江中东部部分地区降雨量可能达到9.8-19.7英寸。

国家气象中心主任王娜清告诉国家广播电视台CCTV，登陆后，“海豚”预计将向西移动，随后在中国中西部地区减速并逐渐减弱。

这可能会延长强降雨时间，并增加洪水和山体滑坡的风险，尤其是在山区和小型河流沿岸。

该国东部地区的交通受到广泛干扰，超过100 万人从家中撤离。

除了撤离至少

30,300人外，根据航班追踪数据提供商VanFlight的数据，上海取消了约1,500架次航班。

一名来自广东的42岁游客陈先生（consumed Chen）表示，由于“海豚”台风导致其家人的航班被取消，他被困在上海。

他表示，家人已重新预订了8月10, p.m.的航班，但他们不确定该航班是否能够起飞。

“对于我们广东人来说，这次台风就像吃饭一样平常，这只是日常生活的一部分，”陈先生说，并补充道，按照中国南海岸的标准，这次风暴看起来并不特别强。

在邻近的浙江省，温州市转移了超过900,000名居民，并开设了超过1,000个应急避难所。

据新华社报道，福建省在将台风应急响应提升至III级后，从高风险地区撤离了98,900人。浙江、上海和江苏也启动了III级应急响应。

福建海事部门表示，55条沿海客运轮渡航线已暂停，全部85个海上建设项目停工，290艘工程船已转移至避风水域。

水资源部表示，Qianlong Yong, Jiao, and Shutyang rivers可能会出现重大洪水，而受灾最严重地区的小型河流可能会超过警戒水位。

浙江部分地区地质灾害风险较高，而处于红色山体滑坡预警覆盖区域的居民被告知遵循当地撤离指令。

上海市海事局表示，在“海豚”台风到来之前，洋山港已将船舶从泊位清空，并将超过500艘船只转移至避风区。

通胀数据可能影响市场

刘易斯·克劳斯科普夫 (Lewis Krauskopf)

路透社

纽约 —— 一场由技术股引领的强劲反弹将美国股市推向历史新高，而即将公布的最新通胀数据将对其构成考验，这可能会为美联储提高利率提供理由。

标普500指数上周创下了两个月来的首次历史最高纪录，这主要由技术股和半导体股的推动，使其在峰值之间实现了过渡。在截至8月6日的四个交易日中，该基准指数上涨了5.75%，这是自2025年4月以来最大的四日涨幅。

美国贷款业务的波动也影响了股市，而油价的回落缓解了在阳光普照（rising sunshine）之前对通胀的一些担忧。资产报告的创新销售将于8月 12. 公布。8月 7 股市上涨，此前一份疲软的美国销售报告增加了人们对美联储可能需要很快加息的担忧。

“市场存在通胀焦虑，”穆马利克·约翰汉考克投资公司 (Mumalik John Hancock Investments) 的共同投资策略主管马修·米什拉 (Matthew Mishra) 表示。“我们将下周观察通胀数据是否能让市场松一口气。”

经济形势已将标普500指数的年初至今涨幅推高至10%以上。企业利润报告连续第二个季度超出极高预期，支撑了投资者对股票背景的乐观情绪。

“我们收到了一些强烈的信号，特别是那些需要报告良好数据的规模较大公司，”戴蒙德·詹姆斯投资管理公司 (Diamond James Investment Management) 的首席市场策略师马特·奥赖恩 (Matt Orion) 表示。

与此同时，奥赖恩说：“[7月]抛售的一个重要原因是仓位变得过于拥挤，且预期过于亢奋。因此，你看到这种情况在当月得到了消化。”

7月的CPI报告紧随美联储会议之后，该会议揭示了在央行应如何处理通胀数据方面的分歧，但多年来并未超过8x 2%的年度目标。

路透社调查的经济学家预计，美国CPI同比将为 6, 。剔除波动较大的食品和能源成分的核心CPI预计年增长率为2.5%。

“过去几个月CPI的下降可能足以防止美联储在今年陷入困境，”晨星财富 (Morningstar Wealth) 的首席市场资产策略师多米尼克·帕杰克·乔基特 (Dominic Pajek Jokit) 表示。“如果CPI反弹并高于预测值，我预计股市将因此出现抛售。”

美联储在7月的会议上维持利率不变，但仍有政策制定者持异议，支持加息。

截至8月7日，市场预计美联储9月的下次会议有44%的加息概率。这些概率在数据显示美国7月意外失业人数增加后有所变化。

对持续高通胀和美联储可能采取行动的担忧导致国债收益率上升，投资者将其视为股市反弹的主要风险。

更高的国债收益率会使债券投资与股票相比更具竞争力。更高的收益率还意味着消费者和企业的融资成本增加，从而影响经济增长和股市。

基准10年期国债收益率在7月下旬达到了 2025, 1月以来的最高水平，但此后收益率已回落至84%，而美国原油价格跌至每桶80%以下。

“任何油价波动都是市场密切关注的，”米什拉说。“如果油价继续上涨，就会增加通胀，进而增加美联储需要加息的可能性。”

预计于 10, 公布的生产者价格月度报告也将完善通胀图景： 10, 的零售销售数据将提供对消费者支出的观察，这是衡量整体经济强弱的关键指标。

尤其是半导体股票，将股市的上涨推向了实质性的繁荣，市场也从中受益于在 AI 数据中心上的巨额支出。费城半导体指数在 2024 年上涨了 75% 以上，但 60% 的指数较 6 月下旬的高点仍下跌了 15% 以上。

瑞士首席执行官：高温风险被“低估”

截至7月德国相关死亡人数达11,900

路透社

苏黎世 —— 瑞士再保险公司（Swiss Re）首席执行官在8月9, 被引用的话称，当局未能掌握热浪对人类生命构成的风险规模，与此同时，一些德国州放宽了追踪限制，以降低与天气相关的航运流程。

欧洲是全球升温最快的大陆，在一次打破纪录的热浪期间报告了数千例超额死亡，其中大多数人年龄在65岁及以上。法国和西班牙在最近几周面临着特别高温的天气。

高温还导致主要河流的水位下降，阻碍了航运，这促使几个德国州暂时暂停了部分关于卡车交通的规定。

“热浪及其相关的死亡风险被低估了，”瑞士再保险公司首席执行官安德烈亚斯·贝尔格（Andreas Berger）告诉瑞士

报纸《周日新苏黎世报》（NZZ am Sonntag），并补充道：“我们需要提高人们对由此产生的危险的意识。”

贝尔格是在瑞士再保险公司报告2024, 上半年净利润增长5%后发表上述言论的，他表示，现在就确定超额死亡人数将如何影响这家总部位于苏黎世的公司的数据还为时过早。

公共卫生机构罗伯特·科赫研究所（Robert Koch Institute）估计，截至7月下旬，今年德国的死亡人数约为8,000人，主要原因是6月下旬的极端高温。

德国人口最多的州北莱茵-威斯特法伦州，以及下萨克森州、莱茵兰-普法尔茨州和萨尔州在8月9, 增加了卡车运输限制，以缓解由包括莱茵河在内的河流水位引起的一系列运输瓶颈。

“低水位对供应问题造成了压力。这就是为什么我们采取行动，并在短时间内创造额外的公路运输选择，”莱茵兰-普法尔茨州交通国务秘书马库斯·沃尔夫（Markus Wolf）表示。

当局表示，周日和节假日对卡车交通的限制放宽将持续到8月底，在某些州可能会持续到9

伊朗：与阿曼的协议处于“最终阶段”

称美国必须采取行动以开放霍尔木兹海峡

Hayara Abdallah, Steve Holland 和 Ewa Alashray

ALSTON

迪拜 —— 伊朗于 8 月 9 日表示，一项与阿曼定义霍尔木兹海峡新航道的协议正处于最终阶段，但并未明确该水道仅在美国和其他条件才会重新开放。

一名美国官员 8 月 7 日告诉路透社，伊朗与阿曼之间即将达成协议，并可能很快重新开放该水道。在伊朗因应对美国和以色列的袭击而封锁该水道之前，全球五分之一的石油和推进剂气体运输经过此处。

伊朗外交部长 Abbas Asaghafi 8 月 9 日表示，关于位于伊朗和阿曼之间海峡的协议处于“最终阶段”，但撤回了 8 月 8 日关于除非满足其他条件否则不会重新开放的言论。

该协议将设定美国境内的新航道，只要美国履行这些条件且海峡重新开放。伊朗的 Strait 新闻社引用他的话如此说道。

Asaghafi 表示，伊朗 / 我们的美国并未参与谈判，只要华盛顿违反 6 月签署的临时协议，德黑兰就不会开始谈判，并补充说双方正通过中间人交换信息。

唐纳德·特朗普总统告诉 Asian，该国在与伊朗的战争期间的联合国：“我们只是半撤回，与他们顶峰。我们只是用巨大的通货膨胀以及他们没有钱的事实来匹配伊朗。”

美国开始空袭

伊朗外交部长 Abbas Asaghafi 表示，只要华盛顿违反 6 月签署的临时协议，伊朗就不会与美国开始谈判。他还表示，两国之间正通过中间人交换信息。HANS PENGEMANTH, WISDOMER, USA WERE AGENCY VIA IELTS

美国在 2 月下旬开始对伊朗进行空袭，称其旨在确保伊斯兰共和国无法获得在线武器，或用平凡或私人的方式威胁该地区。美国在 6 月与伊朗达成停火协议，但在 7 月重新对波斯湾的伊朗航运实施封锁，德黑兰称这违反了已经崩溃的协议。

“一旦宣布恢复无障碍商业航运的协议，美国将取消对伊朗港口的封锁，”该美国官员在要求匿名的情况下告诉路透社。

该官员表示，美国的行动将与伊朗履行其承诺挂钩。美国的评论表明，达成协议的顺序非常微妙，消息人士告诉路透社，该协议似乎旨在让德黑兰控制通过海峡进入波斯湾的船只，运输商表示这不易操作。协议的最新状态尚不明确，伊朗的反应表明其他因素也将发挥作用。

Asaghafi 表示，尊重海峡将取决于包括美国对伊朗广泛袭击的补偿在内的条件。

伊朗最高国家安全机构秘书 Mohammad Nayei Zolqudi 同样谴责美国对伊朗的威胁，这导致了针对伊朗及其黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦、也门和伊拉克盟友的反击，包括对伊朗的封锁和制裁以及冻结伊朗资产。

在于最高领袖 Mojtaba Khamenei，自 2 月 28, （美以空袭伊朗的第一天）一次空袭导致伊朗父亲及其前任死亡以来，他一直没有公开露面。官方媒体 8 月 9 日表示，总统 Masood Pirzehikan 已于 7 月下旬会见 Khamenei，一名初步领导人承诺提供最高领袖的影像，据报道最高领袖在导致其父亲死亡的袭击中受伤，未公开露面。

阿拉伯联合关系于 8 月 8 日表示，伊朗袭击了一艘隶属于其国家石油公司的船只。伊朗方面未立即发表评论，而强大的革命卫队过去曾袭击船只，称其未考虑这些船只通过阿拉伯海峡。

伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡航运的袭击，与其驻也门盟友胡塞武装增加的袭击相结合，后者在阿拉伯半岛另一侧、红海与亚丁湾之间的另一个石油检查点针对船只发动攻击。

胡塞武装还在 7 月宣布在红海对沙特阿拉伯实施海军封锁，以回应他们所谓的也门针对以色列的封锁；利雅得否认了这一指控，利雅得支持也门国际认可的政府。

该组织表示，他们已于 8 月 9. 宣布针对沙特阿美公司的贾赞炼油厂。沙特能源业表示，炼油厂发生火灾，但随后被扑灭，并有人员受伤，当局正在处理火灾事故，但未给出原因。

胡塞武装表示将针对该炼油厂，军事发言人 Yalpa Suwa 传达了 S。他们此前曾袭击过位于沙特阿拉伯西南部的贾赞的阿美公司站点，该地每天处理 400,000 桶原油。

公民身份

法律依据，包括针对工作人员与学生的规定。

法院在 6 月 16 日的一项名为“特朗普诉芭芭拉”（Trump's Barbara）的裁决中将其推翻，认为该规定违反了宪法第 68 修正案中的语言，该修正案规定授予那些在美国出生且“受其管辖”的人公民身份。

为了遏制出生旅游，特朗普的一项新指令要求联邦机构在判定其他父母“从事欺诈活动以获取公民权”时，取消该孩子的公民身份。

第二项行政命令试图禁止涉嫌出生旅游的外国人办理签证，尽管目前尚不清楚将如何执行。联邦法规禁止利用临时签证以获取新生儿美国公民身份为目的的行为。

根据联合办公室 8 月 6, 日的消息，特朗普再次批评该裁决，并表示“人们正围绕”出生旅游“建立商业模式”，暗示“数以千计”的人在非法获益。一些分析给出的数字较小，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的学者估计：2008 年至 2024 年间，每年有 5,000 到 10,000 例此类出生。

除了出生旅游，特朗普的新指令还试图扩大自动出生公民权的历史例外情况，这些例外包括大使等外交代表的子女，以及占领美国领土的敌对外国军队的子女。该命令将扩大这些类别，将外国政府雇员和被认定为外国恐怖分子的人员纳入其中。

学者观点分歧

学者们对于法院是否会允许其中部分扩大范围的举措持有分歧。

恩斯特（Ernst）表示，关于外交官类别的规定在潜在上是合法的，但这取决于具体操作方式，“尽管这要求给予这些人显著的美国法律豁免权”。

曾在共和党人乔治·W·鲁克斯（George W. Rooks）总统任内担任司法部官员的加州大学伯克利分校法学教授约翰·曹（John Tso）表示，该命令试图将美国领土上的外国敌对力量定义为包括恐怖组织在内，这将“最终通过宪法审查”。

其他人则认为某些扩大范围的行为可能过于激进。

密歇根大学法学教授萨姆·埃尔曼（Sam Erman）表示：“二战期间，移居美国的日本移民被视为敌国侨民。根据该政府的规定，他们在美国出生的孩子可能会被拒绝授予公民身份。”

各项条款的合法性还可能取决于机构如何执行。加州大学洛杉矶分校的移民法专家本村博昭（Hiroaki Motomura）表示，某些术语具有弹性，例如对“敌国侨民”的定义，或停留的“目的”。

本村博昭表示，这创造了“巨大的自由裁量空间，允许美国政府官员基于怀疑或进一步审查的需求来拒绝签证或入境”。

法院裁决

最高法院在 6 月推翻了特朗普之前的命令，尽管政府辩称，自动获得出生公民权会鼓励非法移民和生育旅游。

“公民权，无论过去还是现在，都是拥有权利的权利——即自由参与我们的政治共同体的权利，”首席大法官罗伯茨（Robert's）写道，并补充说，第 68 修正案的起草者将这一承诺扩展到了这片土地上的每一个自由出生的人。

“我们今天继续履行这一承诺，”罗伯茨写道。

阿利托（Alito）在异议书中措辞犀利。“在我看来，法院犯了一个将严重影响国家未来的错误，”他写道。

他讽刺法院裁定“一名 60 岁母亲所生的孩子，在 1,000 年前，根据第十四修正案 ”。

阿利托表示，这种观点产生了“门户结果”。他说：“虽然希望合法移民的外国人有时必须等待多年，但一名由生育旅游者在此出生的孩子则自动成为公民。”

“当我有一个想法在 8 月 6 日为这些命令辩护时。”

“这里没有任何内容违背最高法院关于该主题的大量意见，”白宫幕僚长威利·哈特（Willie Hart）表示。

尤（Yoo）并不认同。“我不认为在 Barbara 案中由法院定义的出生公民权中存在任何例外，能够涵盖那些通过欺诈手段违反联邦法律在美领土上生育孩子的人，”他说。

东北大学的移民法教授瑞秋·斯穆蒂洛娃（Rachel Smootilovou）表示，如果该命令的新排除条款能通过法律挑战，她会感到惊讶，并称这些条款“显然违宪”。

“这一命令看起来像是一个总统在最高法院遭受重大损失后，难以接受现实而采取的绝望措施，”斯穆蒂洛娃说。

该民调还发现，66% 的受访者支持社交媒体公司使用年龄验证工具，以防止未成年儿童访问其平台。共和党人的支持率最高，为 74%，而民主党人为 69%。

来自田纳西州的 60 岁机械工程师詹姆斯·罗索尼克（James Rossonik）在 2022 年选举中投票给了共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普，他表示，他主要希望美国政府在美国人的生活中扮演更小的角色，但打击社交媒体公司是一个例外。

“必须有人去做这件事，”他在谈到针对儿童的社交媒体限制时说道。“这是政府的工作吗？我不希望是，但我认为也许应该是。”

美国国会目前尚未通过旨在保护社交媒体上儿童的立法。民调发现，绝大多数美国人（85%）认为社交媒体会对儿童产生依赖，同样比例的人认为使用社交媒体会对他们的心理健康有害。

华盛顿特区居民克里斯托弗·陈（Christopher Chen），34, 岁，表示他认为社交媒体公司对青少年有着未被尝试的影响力，并补充说科技公司对用户在应用程序中看到的内容控制过多。

“我不知道监管具体是什么样子，但政府需要采取某些措施来保护人们，”陈说道，他在 2024 年投票给了特朗普的民主党对手卡玛拉·哈里斯。

宝拉·迪克（Paula Dick），71, 岁，表示社交媒体公司在防止儿童接触不当内容方面可以做得更好，并补充说应该对他们使用的应用程序的权重施加更多压力。迪克说她不允许她的孙辈使用 YouTube，但他们还是找到了访问的方法。居住在堪萨斯州的迪克在 2024 年投票给了特朗普。“他们有办法绕过父母在手机上设置的屏蔽，”她说。“在这方面他们相当聪明。”

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

Putting a 'question mark' on status

Experts: Orders do little to halt 'birth tourism'

Michael Loria USA TODAY

New orders from the Trump administration prohibiting 'birth tourism' at best do little to stop a small and already unlawful practice, and at worst illegally 'put a question mark' on citizenship, immigration and legal experts say.

President Donald Trump signed a pair of executive orders on Thursday, Aug. 6, aimed at stopping foreigners from coming to the United States to give birth in the country, a practice known as 'birth tourism' already prohibited by federal code. Critics say such visitors are abusing birthright citizenship, the nation's standard enshrined in the 16th Amendment that people born on American soil are U.S. citizens. The Supreme Court upheld the standard in June.

According to scholars and immigration experts, it's unclear how Trump's orders will stop what's a statistically small issue in the first place. Birth tourism accounts for less than 1% of all annual births in the United States, according to the largest estimates of the practice.

'My initial impression is that most of it is unconstitutional or in violation of federal statute,' said Amanda Frost, a University of Virginia Law School professor and author of a book on birthright citizenship. 'Provisions clearly violate what the 16th Amendment has always meant and what the Supreme Court just upheld.'

At worst, critics envisioned a situation that will harm mothers needing to travel to the United States for medical care and be used as part of the administration's efforts to denatunize some American citizens.

'It's about putting a question mark next to the citizenship, which is very dangerous,' David Leopold, an immigration attorney, told USA TODAY.

The Trump administration's pair of executive orders follow the White House's recent attempt at curbing birthright citizenship, which has been the law of the land since the ratification of the 16th Amendment in 1998. The administration tried to get rid of birthright citizenship in a case that went below the Supreme Court, but

WASHINGTON - From a window on the seventh floor, Dr. Anthony Fauci recognized one of the hundreds of protesters swarming the lawn of the National Institutes of Health.

They had blocked entrances and pathways at the campus in Bethesda, Maryland. They set off colorful smoke bombs and blasted air horns every 12 seconds as a reminder that, statistically, someone had just died of AIDS. They yanned fake coffins with Fauci's name on Oono.

They focused their anger on him, the nation's top infectious disease doctor, for what they felt was the government's lackluster response to a dis-

Crisis worsens as Lake Mead shrinks

Source of drinking water for 25M hits record low

Jeanine Santucci, Dinah Veyles Pulver and Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

The United States' largest reservoir, Lake Mead, has reached its lowest level on record as the drought-stricken West faces a growing water crisis.

The giant reservoir created by the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River outside Las Vegas dropped to a record-low elevation Aug. 7, reaching 1,040.5 feet. The lake provides water for tens of millions of American homes, businesses and farmers, along with carbon-free hydroelectricity.

The lake level has fallen every day since July 31, according to data from the Bureau of Reclamation. Elevation

levels in the lake have been tracked since officials first began filling the reservoir in the 1930s. The lake hit its previous modern record-low level of 1,040.58 feet on July 28, 2022, before several wetter winters helped refill it.

'It's grim and we obviously need to do something - and fast,' said Brad Udall, a senior climate scientist at Colorado State University's Colorado Water Center.

The last time Lake Mead was near this low, in 2022, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, warned of 'drastic consequences for Arizona and other Colorado Basin states.' If levels at key reservoirs drop further, consequences could include the loss of hydropower generation and even 'dead pool' conditions, in which no water would flow out of Lake Mead.

Israel reject Trump's Gaza plan, Netanyahu says

Steven Schorr and Nidal al-Muqhrali etc./tite

JERUSALEM/CAIRO – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu restated his rejection of Donald Trump's latest Gaza plan in televised remarks to his right-wing government on Aug. 6, even as Israel's military has effectively halted attacks in the territory under pressure from the U.S. president.

Netanyahu is in campaign mode as he seeks reelection at a vote due on Oct. 27, but he is caught between far-right ministers angered by concessions in Gaza and his key military backer, Trump, who wants progress toward ending the conflict then with a new 15-point peace plan.

Israel has scaled back attacks in Gaza since Aug. 3, when Nidalag-Mladັ່ງ-are, the Gaza event, on Trump's Board of Peace that oversees the Gaza ceasefire, met with Netanyahu.

A source familiar with Israel's position said it had agreed that the military would only act against what it perceives as immediate threats in Gaza and no longer carry out targeted assassinations as it had been doing on a near-daily basis.

Israel and Hamas disagree over timing in Trump's plan

Trump announced in July that there had been a breakthrough in his plan to end the war, to which both Israel and Hamas agreed, with Israel's forces withdrawing as Hamas disarms and an international Stabilization force working with a new Palestinian police force to secure the enclave.

But complications have swiftly emerged Israel has said that Israeli troops in Gaza would not move before Hamas disarms. Hamas has insisted that Israel had already before it began implementing the part of the agreement dealing with its arms.

"Israel does not accept the 15-point document," Netanyahu said at the start of a meeting with Cabinet ministers.

The military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disordered. It means heavy weaponry, lights weaponry, all weapons."

Israel was not talking about genuine disarmament, not fictitious disarmament," he said, noting that Israel is in talks with the United States on the plan. Netanyahu made similar remarks in a social media post on Aug. 4.

"They [the United States] have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some of which are unacceptable to us," Netanyahu said without elaborating.

Rasem Naim, a senior Hamas official, told Reuters on Aug. 9 that the group remained committed to the roadmap agreed with mediators in Cairo D Alayvag.

"We expect the mediators and the U.S. guarantee to press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to the road-

map and not obstruct the process for internal politics and electoral reasons, while continuing to jeopardize the region's security and stability."

Far-right Finance Minister Brendel Smolnick praised Netanyahu.

"We went to war with a central goal: the destruction of Hamas," he said in a statement. "The [military] cannot withdraw even a millimeter from the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip cannot begin any process of reconstruction before the complete dismantling and demobilization of Hamas and the Gaza Strip."

Trump said in July that Iran-backed Hamas – which ruled Gaza for nearly two decades before carrying out the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war – had agreed to lay down its weapons.

Hamas would be one of the term "disarmament" and said the group agreed to hand over weapons to be stored under a U.S. Standard Malatizane technicent administration that would run the officer in Gaza under the supervision of Trump's Board of Peace.

Hamas said it agreed to the plan in order to spare the people in Gaza a possible resumption of war, but it added that the implementation of the deal would depend on Israel from meeting In-own commitments, including withdrawal.

Hamas said it mediated agreement reached in October to end the war, Israel had vowed to hand down every militant who had taken part in the October 2023 attack before stripping the targeted attacks on Aug. 3.

More than 1,250 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks since the crossfire, most of them civilians, according to Gaza health officials. Hamas has not disclosed the number of its fighters killed.

Israel's troops have occupied and developed a new武装 of the enclave, leaving nearly all insures than 2 million residents confined to a tiny strip of land under Hamas control along the coast, most in makeshift tents or damaged buildings.

the nation's top justices ruled 6-3 against the White House.

"I thought we were going to win at the Supreme Court, unfortunately, we had a bad decision, a very unfair decision. Our country suffers because of it," Trump said in the Oval Office after signing the new executive orders. In, "we're ending it a different way."

How big is birth tourism?

Birth tourism is a massive problem in the eyes of the White House. In signing the executive order, Trump said hundreds of thousands of babies are born to birth tourists in the United States annually.

Studies of the issue, however, have found the practice in statistically insignificant. According to the Migration Policy Institute, the high end of estimates may that around 30,000 each baby would also every year. More conservative estimates place the number around 6,000. Either figure constitutes less than 1% of the more than 3.5 million babies born in the country every year.

"The scale of the problem is rather small," said Colleen Pritzel-Kavanaugh, a Migration Policy Institute analyst who coauthored a recent study of the issue, though "it does present policy issues, including visa fraud and tax evasion."

Birth tourism, legal experts note, is already barred by federal regulations prohibiting people from lying on visa forms and from coming to the country to have a child.

Who engages in visa tourism?

People who have studied the topic said White House descriptions of birth

tourists were misleading.

Stephen Miller, a top Trump adviser seen as the architect of the president's immigration policy, described the practice as an abuse control in taking advantage of the U.S. welfare system.

However, experts point out that it's usually wealthy people who engage in the practice. Trump himself acknowledged as much when signing the orders, telling reporters that the people behind birth tourism are "multimillionaire" and "billionaire".

"Likely because of the fees associated with being able to pay a birth tourism company, that creates an elite group of people," Pritzel-Kavanaugh said. "The intent for most mothers was the idea of providing U.S. citizenship as the gold standard of what they could provide for their child for their future."

According to the Migration Policy Institute, fees for each services reportedly range from $20,000 to $850,000. Among people who participated were Chinese mothers looking to have a second child during the era of the country's one-child policy. Others are wealthy people coming from countries where the government is regarded as less stable.

Some such births are facilitated by illegal birth tourism companies. In 2006, the federal government prosecuted a Chinese man for operating a company in California called You Wu USA Vacation Services Corp. that facilitated the births of some 500 children.

The company charged customers between $40,000 and $80,000 in order to be set up in an apartment in Irvine, California, leading up to the birth of the child, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Born in the USA

But experts note that children are not responsible for their parents' crimes, and birthright citizenship is

well-established in the text of the 14th Amendment and was again upheld by the Supreme Court.

The high court struck down on June 10 on earlier Trump executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship. The justices said the president cannot change the definition of birthright citizenship with the stroke of a pen, and that Trump's push threatened to spend how the constitutional guarantee had historically been understood.

Both right citizenship, scholars say, is a bedrock American principle.

Then in the USA in a phrase that can be used to explain the necessity of Virginia scholar. "This goes to the head of what it means to be an American. We're a country founded on the idea that we reject hereditary status, titles of nobility, we reject any kind of lineage-backed definition of citizenship. To be an American is to be here."

Questioning citizenship status

Some critics said that whether the new executive orders are illegal or individual is to use the point when the intent is to call into question the citizenship status of some Americans.

"This is about putting a question mark next to wealthy citizenship, whether the parent was in the country without authorization or whether the mother came here as a visitor," said Leopold, the immigration attorney.

Leopold noted the administration has already made attempts to strip citizenship from Americans. Among such efforts, a June 2023 Department of Commerce instructed government lawyers to attempt to "revoke a person's United States citizenship" from people who became citizens "dignally."

He added, "It's not everyone of their all-out assault on immigration, on the people who have unintended, engravings of Americans they don't believe should be in this country."

GAO finds little proof for DOGE savings

Says only 4% of SIOB reported actually saved

Sarah B. Wire

USA TODAY

The Department of Government Efficiency consistently overstated its savings, took credit for losses canceled before the group evaded and said others were terminated when they were not, according to a Aug. 6 report released by a congressional government watchdog office.

When President Donald Trump returned to office, the Department of Government Efficiency, in 2002, has given Israel powers to look for savings across government by canceling leases, trimming government programs and overtrating mass layoffs of federal employees.

DOGE quickly made grand assertions about the savings it earned taxpayers' $10,000 Government Accountability Office's report found much of those never came to pass.

The scope of DOGE's accomplishments has long been questioned, most notably the accuracy of a "black & blue capte" the agency posted online announcing $10 billion in savings across contracts, grants and leases in its first five months.

"Some savings estimates are incorrect or look supporting evidence," said the GAO, which is tasked with providing Congress first-boxed, nonpartisan information about federal spending and performance.

The White House did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for the return.

DOGE officials did not respond to the GAO's requests for information, according to the report. The agency fell out of the headlines in May 2023 when its leader – Elon Musk, a supporter of President Donald Trump's – stepped down. DOGE ceased operations in July.

Musk 264 leases identified for termination on the Wall of Recepts – totaling about 853.8 billion of the total $53.5 million in savings – were already in the process of being terminated when DOGE's work began.

In other instances, DOGE statements about savings never came true. For example, DOGE would get the Defense Department's health agency to end a $67 billion technology contract, but GAO investigates a vast the contract was never cut or reduced.

"Thus, no savings were achieved," the GAO report said.

DOGE's website remains online as a source of official government information. The GAO recommended the Executive Office of the President ensure it prominently note its "data quality issues and limitations."

The GAO's report was responded by Democratic senators after their office investigations showed inaccuracies in DOGE's assertions.

"Everyone supports renting out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, but DOGE was a slapduh and deceptive effort that misled the American people while doing real damage to the government's ability to serve them," Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, the highest-ranking Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a news release.

"Elon Musk and the Trump Administration claimed billions of dollars in savings it could not substantiate, with credit for work already underway, and refused to share its work, all while getting Americans' sensitive data at risk and hollowing out critical agencies."

Bigger fights are coming for U.S. Senate

Flurry of activity pushes senators into break

Zachary Schermola

USA TODAY

WASHINGTON – The Senate just went out with a hung—passing a government funding bill to try to avert another shadowing, confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general and bucking a voter ID measure.

Downright Aug. 7, a quick flurry of legislative activity doubled as an escape plan to push senators into their annual month-long break and onto the campaign trail.

But after days of Republican infighting, the chamber left a lot on the cutting room floor.

A plan to advance an influx of Pentagon cash amid the lean sea was stalled, as was hypnotized legislation to overhaul college athletics. Hopes of getting around to years-in-the-making legislation to regulate cryptocurrency were dashed. A circulation effort to implement pieces of President Donald Trump's biggest legislative priority — a voting restrictions bill called the SAVE America Act — didn't get closer to the finish line, either.

Day earlier, Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledged the challenges he was having getting everyone on the same page.

"It's just a series of things that are sort of gilded up," the South Dakota Re-

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-SD, speaks during a Senate Agriculture business meeting on Aug. 6. NAT'MAN HOLOMEN/REUTERS

publicans said. "Train wreck's probably a little extreme of an analogy."

The result: Congress will be using what vanishingly little time it has left before the November conference fighting some of its most politically fraught battles. With the full elections potentially expected to end the current era of full GOP control on Capitol Hill, Senate Republicans are still struggling to reconcile their aim to stay in power with their need to get things done.

"I'm planning on being in all battleground states, and I'm anxious to get them to help my colleagues," Sen. John Kennedy, R-Lexasian, said in a floor speech last week. "But we've got to stay here and get our business done."

Voter ID bill eases SAVE fervor — for now

The past few weeks and months in the Senate have been eliminated by a conservative flurry of mass some version of the SAVE America Act. The bill — which would significantly rush mail as voting while requiring photo ID and documentary proof of citizenship to cast a ballot — is at the top of the White House's legislative wish list.

Although the full bill has virtually no chance of passing, Republican leaders in Congress are working in tandem on a creative end run around the Senate Bibbuster to approve it anyway: inconclusive states, through grants, to train parts

of it into law. That gambits in the form of a budget bill, which can pass along party lines without Democrats.

While the blueprint is primarily focused on defense spending to beef up the Pentagon, it would also set aside billions for election-related purposes.

"The most you'd speed is $20 billion on election integrity," Sen. Ben Johnson, R-Wisconsin, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said of the plan.

The House of Representatives already greeted the effort wreck-ups, the first step in a long process: Senate Republicans had hoped to do the same before skipping now, but this hour disagreements and other priorities got in the way instead, hoping to spoil frustration among the biggest SAVE proponents, Sen. Joe Husted offered a measure in the middle of the night to require photo ID in elections. The Ohio Republicans bill failed.

"Not a single Democrat joined us," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said. Lee is arguably the SAVE Act's biggest champion in the state's history of political left Washington, he repeatedly threatened to obstruct the schedule and keep his colleagues in session if they didn't move it forward.

"I left no stone unturned," he said on social media. "I wish the outcome would've been different as to the adjustment and as to those votes."

Lee, or any other Republican senator, could've objected to the chamber adjoining just before 5 a.m. Aug. 8. None of them did.

Former Trump lawyer Blanche confirmed as an AG

Controversial candidate approving by 50–49 vote

Aysha Bagchi, Zachary Schermola and Francesca Chambers

USA TODAY

WASHINGTON – After weeks of Republican infighting, the Senate finally approved through a vote to confirm Todd Blanche as the next attorney general of the United States.

The largely party-line vote, 50–49, on Aug. 6, happened in the dead of night. It prompted just two Republican defections: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Maine Sen. Susan Collins. Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, John Conryn of Texas and Thom Tiller of North Carolina — all of whom recently expressed serious reservations about Blanche, as well as their views of the politicization of the Justice Department more generally — ultimately threw their support behind President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer.

The confirmation capped off a fraught political fight that consumed Capitol Hill for weeks, newly testing a large power within the Senate GOP against a shared waitress with the current direction of the nation's chief law enforcement agency.

On Aug. 7, the White House contested was confident that Blanche, who was leading a presidential delegation to Colombia, would be confirmed. Officials said they planned to have Trump swear him in as soon as possible.

"I am deeply honored by the trust and confidence President Trump has placed in me to lead the Department of Justice as a key president of the Attorney General," Blanche said in a statement after the vote. "I am grateful to the Senate for staying late to complete this process."

Following days of uncertainty about Cassidy's position on Blanche, the senator announced the morning of Aug. 7 that he'd vote for him, becoming the key swing vote just house after Murkowski announced on social media that she wouldn't do the same. Cassidy said from the Senate floor that while Blanche wasn't a perfect choice to run the charges, she would not worried that Trump would put forward someone less preferable if he nominates tasked.

"The choice to not between perfection and Mr. Blanche. It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department effectively under President Trump, and who, indeed, may not be as good as Mr. Blanche," he said.

While House spokeswoman Lauren Rie said in a statement after Cassidy's announcement that Blanche had "played a critical role at the Department of Justice" in advocating for law and order and policies that keep Americans safe.

"This is great news and we look forward to his final confirmation shortly," Todd Blanche has done an excellent job as acting Attorney General and will continue doing so as Attorney General," Rie said.

Murkowski, Collins buck Blanche

The day began Aug. 7 with the confirmation of Blanche, who took over as acting attorney general after Trump fired Pam Rosell, in serious jeopardy.

Murkowski said the Trump administration had "accelerated" politicization at the DOJ, preventing her from supporting Blanche. She also took some with Blanche's handling of the Epstein Blue and what she described as "sweeping immunity protection" he gave Trump in a controversial settlement.

Her announcement followed Collins' statement Aug. 4 that she also couldn't support Blanche's bid. The Maine senator, who's up for reduction in a key bar, threefold race, voiced similar concerns over the immunity for Trump, Blanche's decision to approve a $13 billion "anti-weaponization" fund that he has since resided back, and DOJ publication.

The two moderate Republicans' opposition meant Blanche needed every remaining Republican prowess in the Senate. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has been recovering from a fall and pneumonia and ultimately did not vote. But it's not clear McConnell would have been a yes, either — he has repeatedly denounced the "anti-weaponization" fund, too.

Stumbles in the Senate

Blanche, whom Trump nominated to become the prominent attorney general in June, already faced a volatile nomination process in recent weeks. Two Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee, Conryn and Tiller — who, like Cassidy, are slated to end the Senate in January after clashing with Trump— temporarily withhold their support.

The just later agreed to get behind Blanche after he made concessions when it came to the DOJ settlement confirming benefits to Trump and Trump allies.

The deal attempted to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump, his two oldest sons and the Trump Organization. The lawsuit alleged the IRS owed them $20 bil-

lion for failing to prevent a contractor from leaking their tax information.

The Trump said they were dropping their lawsuit in exchange for government promises. The DOJ said it would create a $17.9 billion "anti-weaponization" fund that could have given taxpayer dollars to Trump supporters who committed crimes during the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. It also promised Trump associates immunity from potential government claims against them, including for past tax returns.

The tax immunity deal could be a huge financial boon to the president. The New York Times reported in 2020 that Trump was in a decade-long audit battle with the IRS over a claimed $72.9 million tax refund. Losing that battle could cost him more than $100 million, according to the Times.

The deal has been widely criticized as self-dealing on Trump's part, given he nominates and can fire DOJ leaders.

Florida federal Judge Kathleen M. Williams ruled July 13 the lawsuit was essentially an attempt to legitimize giving the president benefits, and prohibited the Trumps from using or referring to the deal as any official proceedings. However, it's unclear whether and how the order constitutes the DOJ's and IRS' private dealings with the president.

During bipartisan backlash from Congress, Blanche previously said the DOJ wouldn't more forward with the fund. But after Conryn and Tiller said they wanted more in order to support his nomination, he issued a document formally denying the funding, and a second document clarifying that the Trump immunity on tax issues is limited to Trump, his two oldest sons and the Trump Organization, and only applies to past tax years.

The Senate Judiciary Committee then voted to do along party lines earlier this week to advance Blanche's nomination to the full Senate.

Blanche controversies

Critics say Blanche's promises aren't enough because the terms of the initial

deal say it can only be modified "with the written agreement of the Parties," which would include Trump himself. They also say Blanche could change his mind, or find other ways to direct taxpayer funds to Jan. 6 letters.

There is enough financial room in these documents to drive a truck through," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. D-Bloole Island, said at an Aug. 4 hearing, shortly before the Judiciary Committee approved Blanche's nomination along party lines.

Blanche has also come under fire for pursuing federal charges in North Carolina against former FBI Director James Conryn, a prominent Trump critic. Trump publicly called for Conryn to face unspecified charges in a September 2020 social media post.

The charges allege Conryn threatened to harm or kill the president by posting on social media an image of seashore in the shape of "do it!" "do" is a thing term that means "to throw out" or "to get rid of," according to Merriam-Webster. Trump is the 47th U.S. president.

Tillie himself criticized the case at the Aug. 4 hearing, even while he voted to advance Blanche's nomination.

In the 47th Congress broadcast in North Carolina thinks that DOJ's a crime. Well, they better share non-bare information to back it up, because of all it is in a picture, that person should lose his job, his or her job," Tillie said.

Blanche held a power conference April 29 at which he personally announced the charges. It's the second criminal case brought against Conryn under the current Trump administration. The first case, alleging Conryn led to Congress, was dismissed in November.

Key Republicans offer support

Some congressional Republicans have voiced enthusiasm for Blanche, saying he has built a strong record tackling crime.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chick-Gaasley, S-Lone, defended the DOJ's record under Blanche at a July 25 hearing, prowess the DOJ's capture of fugitives on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list and aimed at people tied to the illegal fortrame.

Cassidy said in his Senate remarks that Blanche "showed your judgment" by ever approving the "anti-weaponization" fund and by sweeping Trump from IRS audits. He said he was "particularly concerned" about the DOJ foraging cases against political opponents.

However, Cassidy also praised Blanche as "a hands-on administrator" who has prioritized tackling violent crime, human and drug trafficking, and fraud, and he emphasized that former Attorney General Bill Best, who served in that role under President George H. W. Bush and during Trump's first presidency, has said in an endorsement that Blanche "will run the department as effectively as anyone could under President Trump."

Some have called that faint praise. I don't think that it is. I think it is a reality," Cassidy said.

Trump: U.S. has 'virtual unlimited' missiles

Reports say munitions inventory depleted

Michael Lorin USA TODAY

The Iran war has severely depleted key U.S. missile stockpiles and left the nation and its allies in a vulnerable position for potentially reasons to one, several experts and reports say.

U.S. missile stockpiles were low before President Donald Trump and ally Israel launched the war Feb. 28. But five months of fighting in the Middle East have left the nation's missile inventory depleted to the point where analysts feel they could soon be exhausted.

'This really has long-term strategic implications for the United States,' Kelly said in a recent follow at the Stimson Center, told USA TODAY. 'The center is a think tank focused on issues of global peace.' 'It's going to take years to get back up to the levels we had before we started this war, and that prewar level was already too low.'

A USA TODAY look at the nation's missile stockpiles comes as the president said in an Aug. 6 social media post that 'the U.S. has massive amounts of 'munitions, especially of certain types.'

Later in the day Trump told reporters in the final Office that the United States has 'a virtual unlimited supply' of missiles. He asked the career that for certain missile types supply in 'lighten.'

The president's comments and U.S. officials said that the statement before a Center for Strategic and International Studies shortage analysis, a Washington Post report on Trump-cashing with defense officials over stockpile issues and a Reuters report that the United States has nearly exhausted key munitions.

Pentagon officials slammed the reported shortages as 'false.'

'America realizes remains the most powerful fighting force on earth.' We have everything required to strike at the time people have 'replaced a choosing.' Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement. 'Across multiple combatant commands, we have already executed successful operations while maintaining a deep, ready arsenal to defend our people and our interests. Any adversary who confuses media noise with American weakness will discover the truth the hard way.'

What munitions are low?

The less war has depleted some of the most important U.S. munitions, experts estimated based off military disclosures of attacks on the Islamic republic. Among them: Patriot and TRIAAP defense missiles and long-range ground attack Tomahawk missiles.

According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis, the United States has used about half of its Patriot and TRIAAP revolutions and a third of its Tomahawk inventory over the course of the war. The centre is a Washington, DC-based think tank that focuses on national security issues.

'It's going to take years to get back up to the levels we had before we started this war, and that prewar level was already too low.'

Kelly A. Grieve a senior fellow at the Stimson Center, a think tank focused on issues of global peace

riously exhausted if the war drags on for several more months.

'For a war against Iran, we could continue that for some time, for months,' Cancian said. 'But my suspicion is the least Chiefs of Staff were us at a danger point for conflict with China, where we'd need all these missiles, and that's why we'd call this a window of vulnerability.'

Cancian noted that the United States is well supplied in mid- and short-range munitions though those weapons carry added risk.

'If there were a war before we rebuild these stockpiles, the U.S. will have greater losses and casualties,' Cancian said. 'For attack, we'll have to use something with a shorter range, which is much riskier, and then for defense we'll run out and not be able to stop incoming missiles.'

United States' missile stockpile estimates are based on missile procurement numbers in federal budget documents compared against public disclosures regarding their use in the war, experts said.

Impact on U.S. allies

U.S. missile shortages are already becoming a factor in Ukraine's war against Russia. Ukraine is one of several American allies that rely on U.S.-made systems for defense. Trump on Aug. 6 blamed some of the stockpile depletion on Ukraine. The United States has given the country around 600 defense missiles since Russia first invaded in 2022.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

warned on Aug. 1 that the country had run out of Patriot missiles, and that some day Ukrainian air defenses were able to stop just one out of 27 Russian attack missiles.

Other allies who could be impacted by the shortage include Japan and Taiwan, as well as the Gulf states currently fighting off Iranian attacks.

'If the fighting starts up again and the Iranians keep flying missiles at the Gulf states there they live screaming for additional missiles,' Cancian said.

Refilling the U.S. missile stockpiles will take years because of manufacturing constraints, experts said.

According to the strategic studies center analysis, the nation will not be back at prewar defense missile levels until mid-2029 and at prewar Tomahawk missile levels until 2030 or 2031.

Why is there a shortage?

There are many reasons for the shortage in munitions.

Among them, the missiles are difficult to manufacture, supply chain squeezes can interrupt production and the United States has not faced an adversary that could meaningfully strike back for decades, so the nation hasn't needed so many missiles. Missile production decisions are also made years in advance.

Another factor in defense systems, including Patriot missiles, is that typically two to three interceptes missiles are fired at every attack missile. Iran is estimated to have fired well over 1,000 attack missiles over the course of the

war.

U.S. stockpiles were low before the war as well, lawmakers have said.

Our stockpiles of critical defense articles have fallen to dangerously low levels. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, B-Alabama, said in a March 4 statement, just a few days into the conflict. 'The consequences are clear. There are growing doubts about our ability to sustain a protracted fight against China.'

Years of the U.S. fighting in unofficial wars have also hurt supply.

These include, according to strategic studies center estimates, hundreds of defense missiles used by the Biden administration in fighting the Studies in the Red Sea and dozens of attack missiles used to attack Iran last year, the raid to capture 'Vasranatka: President Nicolas Madras and in the Christmas Day attacks on ISIS in Nigeria.

Limits of American resources

Grieve, the Stimson Center expert, said the shortages resulting from the Iran war could illustrate the limit of American resources.

'We've been thinking of those things as low-cost interventions,' Grieve said, 'and yes they were low-cost in terms of U.S. poisonous/last. But they've come at a real cost in terms of munitions usage.'

Buring a course correction, shortages eventually lead to a place where leaders are forced to decide which battles to fight or which missiles to stop.

'There's a way we've been waging wars and not having to talk about trade-off/because we were so powerful,' Grieve said. 'This war is falling home that those tradeoffs are real, and it's not so simple that we can put more money at the problem.'

She added, 'There comes a point where you have to deal with resource constraints and make decisions about what best serves U.S. interests.'

Lake Mead

Continued from Page 1A

Mead revealed sunken boats, the remains of towns that were submerged to make the reservoir, and several bodies.

Lake Mead is the source of drinking water for about 25 million people, of a total of about 40 million served by the Colorado River Basin, including metro Las Vegas. The river also supplies irrigation water for about 5 million acres of agricultural land, including California and California. The original significant portion of the nation's fruit and vegetables.

Clinically active and other water supply experts say a long term drought in being associated by climate change, which is altering how much water falls on the Rocky Mountains as more before melting into the Colorado River. The river serves seven Western states, Native American tribes and two northern Mexican states with water for agriculture, irrigation and driving, hydroelectricity, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat.

Water where the 1,440-mile-long Colorado River as rain, snowmelt and runoff from the Rocky Mountains and flows through the Grand Canyon, down to Lake Powell, the nation's second-largest reservoir, which is held back by the Glen Canyon Dam. The water flow powers Glen Canyon Dam's hydroelectric turbines, then flows downstream to end up in Lake Mead, where it is distills-

ated to lower basin states after again generating electricity.

Because the river and its reservoirs are insufficient to meet water demand, famers and cities have been pumping groundwater from aquifers, which have been losing water at an increasing rate, according to NASA. Since 2002, the reservoirs and the aquifers have lost a combined 53.7 trillion gallons of water, according to recent NASA estimates.

Worsening crisis follows years of tug-of-war over water rights

The record-low level recorded at Lake Mead comes days after federal authorities released a plan to deal with war for shortages, which includes cuts to the amount of water that can be drawn by states in the Colorado River's lower basin, including Arizona, California and Nevada.

Officials in the seven Western states have been battling over the river for more than a century, particularly as the West's increasing population has demanded more water at a time of persistent drought.

The federal government issued a 10-year management plan and environmental impact statement to address water shortages in the Colorado River and plans to release additional details in the coming days. That plan calls for significant water-use cuts by California, Arizona and Nevada and voluntary reductions by Colorado, Wyoming, New

Mexico and Utah.

Arizona officials were alarmed at the cuts federal officials are calling for to the three states in the river's lower basin, the Arizona Republic has reported. The state's water resources director, Tom Ravindorfer, has said his team continues to negotiate with the other six states and federal decision makers.

Because of extended drought, the combined water volume of Lake Mead and Lake Powell hasn't been this low since before Lake Powell began to fill in 1903, according to the Department of Interior. The department's letter introducing the environmental impact document states that the 'sink to the system has never been greater.'

Lake Powell is now at 3,521.43 feet and has fallen almost 4 feet in the past 30 days. Federal officials say it probably will hit its lowest level over by early spring, if not sooner.

Utah said the new federal plan is a solid start to addressing the issues he and others have been weaning about for decades. But he worries too many people across the West before the forecast report 0.16bn will bring significant relief to the area.

The long term trends, he said, remain dire, even if this winter is a wet one. He said Lake Mead's future is 'frightening' unless states, Native American tribes and the Mexican government can agree to use significantly low water.

'Mostly, I'm sad that we haven't done

more with all the knowledge we had.' Utah said. 'We're asking people to do really hard things. But failure to do them has completely unacceptable consequences. We are living on the edge.'

Las Vegas cuts water usage as supply dwindles

Water users in the Las Vegas area have cut demand dramatically over the past 20 years, reducing per capita use by 58% even as the population grew by 876,000 people, according to the water authority.

In 2022, the Southern Nevada Water Authority completed work on a project to ensure it could still pump drinking water from Lake Mead to serve the Las Vegas area when water levels are low. Launched in 2008, the effort includes both a new low-level water intake closer to the lake's bottom and a pumping station to lift that water back up 500 feet.

The water district has been paying residents to up-out their thierry pines and replace it with landscaping or trees, housed most new commercial fountains and water features, and limited the amount of water golf courses may use.

More than 250 million square feet of grass – the equivalent of 9-square miles – has been removed, and authorities have helped establish a big an estimated 45,000 removable swimming pool covers, saving at least 1.6 billion gallons from evaporating in the desert heat.

How much deep sleep do you need? What to know

Gavin Kocott

USA TODAY

Everyone knows getting a good night's sleep matters. And while naming the stages of the sleep cycle may be difficult, the benefits of deep sleep are felt every morning.

The third stage of sleep, deep sleep, is linked to physical recovery, immune function and memory consolidation. The desire to feel refreshed in the morning may have you asking how much deep sleep is necessary, and how you can avoid the time you spend in this state. A person's ideal amount of sleep depends on a host of factors, including age, sex, activity levels and health, says Michael Potts, a professor and director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine program at the University of Pennsylvania.

How much deep sleep does a person need?

For a healthy adult ages 18 to 65, deep sleep runs roughly 15% to 25% of the night - somewhere around an hour to 90 minutes across a full seven to nine hours of sleep, says Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and biomedical engineering at The University of Texas at Dallas.

But experts agree there isn't a one-size-fits-all number.

Still, listening to your body is important. Feeling groggy during the day, experiencing foggy memory and struggling to concentrate could be signs you're not getting enough deep sleep, though these are signs of insufficient sleep in general, and it can be hard to determine whether the culprit is a lack of BEM or deep sleep.

The real red flag, Walker says, is per-

sistently waking unrefreshed, even after a full night in bed. Protecting your total sleep and your schedule helps deep sleep do its job better, he adds.

How can you increase your deep sleep hours?

There are a few things you can do to increase deep sleep hours, starting with stopping destructive habits and creating better environments.

That includes keeping a more regular schedule - deep sleep is front-loaded during the first half of the night. Walker says, so "a consistent, early-enough bedtime protects it" - as well as keeping the bedroom cool. Because the brain needs to drop its core temperature by roughly a degree to descend into deep sleep, a bedroom temperature of around 65 to 67 degrees will help.

Additionally, getting daylight in the morning and moving regularly during the day can pave a smoother path to deep sleep. What should you not do right before bed? Work out, drink alcohol and consume caffeine, Walker says.

Strawberries are one of summer's healthiest fruits

Daryl Austin

USA TODAY

Few fruits say "summer" quite like strawberries. Whether they're served at picnics, family reunions, backyard barbecues or poolside gatherings, strawberries have long been one of the season's most beloved treats.

Indeed, their "versatility and their sweet-tart taste" are among the top reasons the fruit is so popular, says Laura Bellows, a registered dietitian and associate professor in the division of nutritional sciences at Cornell University.

But beyond being delicious and refreshing, strawberries are also one of the most nutritious fruits you can eat.

Strawberries push an impressive amount of nutrition into every bite, and fiber is a standout nutrient. A single cup of strawberries contains about 3 grams of fiber, "which is helpful for digestion, promoting regular bowel movements and decreasing the risk of various gastrointestinal diseases," says Elizabeth Klingfeld, a registered dietitian nutritionist at the University of Texas at Austin and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics.

Strawberries also provide manganese, which supports bone health and improves metabolism, along with folate, a B vitamin important for cell growth and DNA formation. And the potassium content in strawberries helps support healthy blood pressure levels and proper muscle function.

"And strawberries are a powerhouse source of vitamin C," notes Bellows, a key redcoat for supporting collagen production, wound healing and hair and skin health. In fact, 1 cup of strawberries provides more vitamin C than an orange.

Strawberries can also be a valuable

part of a healthy weight-management plan, Bellows says. One reason is that a 1-cup serving contains only 45 to 50 calories. They also provide a satisfying combination of water and fiber, which slows digestion and promotes fullness.

And because strawberries are naturally sweet, they can help satisfy cravings for sugary foods while also serving as a healthier alternative to desserts and processed snacks.

For most people, strawberries can absolutely be part of a healthy daily diet. Still, there are a few reasons not to overdo it.

Although the fiber content is generally considered beneficial, it's also why "eating a lot of strawberries in one sitting can cause bloating, gas or diarrhea," Bellows says. For the same reason, people with sensitive digestive systems or conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome may want to be especially mindful of portion sizes.

Another consideration is pesticide exposure. Because of their porous skin, "strawberries can have high levels of pesticide residues," Bellows says. The trick is to properly rinse strawberries before eating to reduce risk.

Fauci

Continued from Page 1A

Staley and other activists over the government's response to AIDS. Privately, Fauci had met them over dinner and wine, strategizing for hours over how to get experimental drugs quickly to AIDS patients who had no other hope.

Fauci wanted to make sure Staley wasn't hurt. The baffled police officer stood by in disbelief as Staley grinned and assured that he was OK.

"It was an extraordinary moment," recalled Staley, who remains close friends with Fauci almost 40 years later.

For Fauci, it would be one of many personal moments in a 56-year career that would see him become the nation's most revered—and, in some cases, reviled—scientist and infectious disease expert.

He served seven presidents, from Ronald Reagan to Joe Biden. He advised leaders through anthrax attacks, Ebola outbreaks and SARS scores in Asia. He devised the U.S. global attack plan against AIDS.

He was one of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institute of Health. Fauci led the fight against diseases that threatened the lives of Americans and people all over the world.

"He became an icon because of his success," said Dr. Jeanne Murtazar, who succeeded him as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases after he retired in 2022.

But it would be the COVID-19 pandemic under President Donald Trump's decision. But the 10-year-old white-haired doctor with the gruff Brooklyn, as rest into a lightning rod like never before.

Caught between science and politics

Fauci's job often placed him between politics and science.

George W. Bush gave him the President's Medal of Honor when he has work on HIV and AIDS. Biden gave him a presidents' uniform after congressional Republicans threatened him with criminal changes over his handling of COVID-19. Fauci and his family receive so many death threats that he has his own security detail, which he pays for himself after Trump revoked his taxpayer-funded protection.

On Aug. 6, a 1000-bed Senate panel voted 6-5 to build him as contempt of Congress. A week earlier, he had sat musically for three hours and refused to answer questions about his leadership during the pandemic.

The committee chairman, Republican Sen. Basil Paul of Kentucky, and other 600 lawmakers accused him of misleading the public about the virus origins. They blamed him for the closure of schools and businesses during the worst days of the pandemic. They claimed the NIH-funded research that a lab in Wuhan, China, used to create the COVID virus.

Fauci was a single the days. Fauci kept on his government company, they arrived into 47 during one thing publicly and another privately about the origins of the virus. They pushed him as someone obsessed with celebrities and his own fame. They believed him with serious questions about pandemic-era policies, vaccines and masking guidelines and not-so-serious questions about the day of the week and the color of the carpet in the room.

More than 300 times, Fauci's re-average family name. He invaded his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Fauci's attorney, David Schechter, declined USA TODAY to appear for an interview with Fauci. Schechter said in a statement that Paul is waging a lossless campaign to put Fauci in jail and harbors a 'seemingly pathological' obsession with him.

The broad, preemptive pardon Fauci received from Biden covered only the period from 2016 to the end of Biden's term in January 2025. His attorneys feared Paul was trying to coax Fauci to say something under oath that could be misconstrued and used to prosecute him.

Fauci's defenders say he has been unfaithy made a villain by MAGA Republicans putting politics ahead of science and by those will angry over forced school shutdowns and government-ordered lozidences during the pandemic.

For Fauci, they say, the focus has always been the science.

"I never saw him say one thing privately and another publicly," said Jerome Adams, who was surgeon general during Trump's first term and worked with Fauci about daily during the pandemic as a member of the White House Commission Task Force.

Life many scientists working in government, Fauci understood there is often tension between science, policy and

the practical realities of communicating with the public during a health crisis, Adams said.

"Those are difficult judgments, and reasonable people can disagree about them," Adams said. But "I always felt he was guided by what he believed was in the best interest of the health of the American people, not by politics or personal gain."

Father taught him responsibility to help people in need

Fauci credits his parents with instilling the values that led him to a career in medicine and public health.

Born into an Italian American family, Fauci grew up in a three-bedroom apartment above his father's pharmacy at 18th Avenue and 83rd Street in Brooklyn. In his 2024 memoir, "On Call: A Doctor's Journey to Public Service," he described his family as loving and close-knit.

His father, Stephen Anthony Fauci, whom he remembered as a shy man with a strong sense of ethics, integrity and fanatical, was the pharmacy from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. six days a week. He took a 67-minute break in the evening to have dinner with his family.

On Sunday, when the pharmacy was open half a day, Fauci worked the counter, ringing up prescriptions. He delivered them on his Schwinn bicycle on weekends and during school breaks and summer.

In between, he was the starting point guard on the basketball team at Regis High School, an all-bay, Jesuit school.

Fauci remembered his father accommodating customers who could not afford their medication. When he asked why, his father replied: "They cannot afford it. They are struggling. We will just put it on a tab," Fauci wrote in his memoir.

Some bills were never paid. "One father taught us early in life," Fauci recalled. "Hat because we were fortunate. It was our responsibility to help people when we could."

He went to Cornell University Medical College, graduated first in his class in 1946 and accepted a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. In 1968, studying how the human body protects itself against infectious diseases and cancers.

Except for one year at New York Hospital, Fauci would remain at NIH for the rest of his career in public health.

An AIDS car who listens

Fauci was puzzled by what he was reading. He had picked up the government's mobility and mortality weekly report from a jail of junk mail on his desk at the National Institutes of Health. An article detailed an unusual form of pneumonia in five men who

otherwise had been healthy.

It was June 3, 1968, AIDS had arrived in America.

Over the next decade, AIDS would become a global crisis and the focus of Fauci's professional life as he led the government's response. The virus would kill more than 700,000 Americans.

Fauci saw patients in the early days of the epidemic when no treatments were available. He testified before Congress and pressed Reagan's administration to dedicate billions of dollars to AIDS research. Fauci built a research program that then to count over to 100,000 from destroying the immune system.

At the time, AIDS was often a death sentence. Because Fauci was seen as the federal government's AIDS case, he became the target for activists who felt the administration wasn't moving fast enough. The writer, Gary Kramer, found all him a murderer in an open letter published in 1988.

Two years later, on May 22, 1990, hundreds of protesters returned the offices of the National Institutes of Health. They demanded the government allow dying patients access to potentially liberating drugs that hadn't yet been approved by the government.

"We realized that our only salvation was going to come from science," said Staley, who left his Wall Street job to become a political activist with the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, or ACT UP.

Fauci sympathized with his critics and did something other government officials had been unwilling to do. Staley said he found that someone, he knew of them to meetings in his office and, later, to long distance own bottles of wine at restaurants and in the home of this top side.

The discussions got heated. Fauci listened, really listened, agreeing at times and pushing back strongly when he didn't. The meetings gave him another couldn't get anywhere else. He responded by appending people with HIV to commence overseeing AIDS research. He pressed the Food and Drug Administration to allow thousands of people into experimental drug trials.

Outloably, many of the critics became close friends.

"I am brought honest with the guy," Staley said. "The stuff I have told him over the years. A lot of 10 people would end the friendship." But "he wanted to hear that. He wanted that feedback."

From respected scientist to 'noy-saying bureaucrat'

By early 2020, COVID was spreading rapidly across the United States.

Trump announced a 9-Mile House news briefing on March 19, 2020, that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine could be a game changer in

Fauci was the government's de facto AIDS case during the 1980s. In 1989, flanked by AIDS researcher Dr. James Mason, left, and health and human Services Secretary Luis Sullivan, Fauci detailed new findings by researchers that indicated the drug ACT may significantly prolong the lives of upward of half the estimated 1.5 million Americans infected with HIV. BETTMANN ARCHAS VIA GETTY AWARD

COVID treatment, claiming only text results had been promising. The next day, at a briefing in the same room, reporters asked Fauci, with Trump at his side, if that was true.

"Hydroxychloroquine doesn't work," he responded, adding the evidence cited by those touting the drug was anecdotal and not backed by science.

At the same briefing, Trump referred to the State Department as "the Deep State Department," and Fauci covered his face with the palm of his hand to hide his reaction. A photo of the moment went viral and quickly became an insane scene. And Fauci noticed everything he him started to change.

He had been a trusted authority for Americans. He gave updates on television, answered reporters' tough questions and served as the voice for the latest science on stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

But after he publicly contradicted Trump, Fauci sensed a change in how some people perceived him.

"While millions of Americans appreciated or admired the A-bust-corp group saw the same way, ways of being involved deliberately, even maliciously, was undermining President Trump," he wrote. "They loved and supported the president and regarded me as the enemy. To them, my hand to my forehead moment proved it."

He and his family were bombarded with angry emails, texts and phone calls. They received death threats.

In Congress, Republicans aimed at Fauci more frequently and pushed the unproven theory that the coronavirus was created as a lab in West Scotland of spreading from animal to human, as Fauci believed.

At a contentious Senate hearing in July 2025, Paul repeatedly claimed with Fauci and accused him of lying about the government funding research in Wuhan. "If anybody is lying here, senator," Fauci shot back, "it is you."

The bitter exchange set the stage for Paul's Senate hearing last week.

Many of Fauci's ideas and the scientific community called to his defense.

Fauci got some things wrong as he and other scientists tried to contain a virus they knew nothing about, said Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

But "I think he was the right man for the job," said Offit, who had raised doubts about his reliability of each index on the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine and questioned some public health recommendations on become alone. "I think he really did try and explain things clearly. I think he's a voice of reason."

For from suggesting that Fauci was duplicitous—vaping one thing about the virus' origin in private and something else in public—his flare instead shows him shifting his opinion as new information became available, his defenders argue.

"It's perfectly reasonable to change the way you think about a complex topic such as an emerging virus if you receive new insights that justify doing so," said John Moore, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Cornell. "Indeed, it would be professional malpractice to not do so."

People who have spoken to Fauci say he is in good spirits and is holding up despite the stress he is under. "He is fully ready to finish this fight," Staley said. "I think I might crumble if this were happening to me. He hasn't."

If anything, he said, "I think he has gone back to the thing he loves most being a doctor."

Two days after he pleaded the Fifth, Fauci was back at the prowess University Medical Center, where he has worked since setting four years ago.

There, away from the chaos and the cameras, he quietly made his rounds and tended to patients.

Greener streets can help cities survive heat

Steven Prono Opinion contributor

A recent heat wave in Europe killed thousands of people and sent emergency responders racing to keep up with heat-related illnesses. Infrastructure failures were also reported, as passed roads, highways and train tracks buckled in the blistering heat.

It's also heading up across the United States. Extreme temperatures in the central and eastern America placed millions of people under heat risk advisories as Fourth of July celebrations get underway.

Now, News Transit reported system-swimming charges. Now, bulk sent medical teams into the streets to provide wellness checks. World Cup organizers scrambled to protect fans from dangerous heat in the pavement heavy zone around stadiums, distributing water and handheld fans to creams gathered on surfaces that exceeded 120 degrees.

How can cities heat the heat? The answer is right underheat

These are rational responses to the immediate crisis, but severe heat waves aren't going anywhere. Heat waves are a predictable outcome of subcentric infrastructure that enables the fossil fuel emissions weanings on planet and traps that heat at street level.

If cities want to stop playing piecemeal defense, they will have to address the infrastructure lurking underheat and the planning assumptions that put it there in the first place.

Many cities have adopted similar care-related development patterns, and thus the living landscapes that regulate temperature to make way for concrete infrastructure.

These cities are now facing some of the same challenges.

Pavement creates hotter temperatures by absorbing and radiating heat, while also blocking the soil and tree canopy coverage that would otherwise

As heat waves intensify, cities that want to thrive will need to be far more discerning about what makes a place livable.

provide shade and cooling. Despite making things hotter, pavement performs poorly in the heat.

When concrete gets too hot, it expands and breaks. From Seattle to Wisconsin to Germany, pavement is falling down on the job as roads deform under extreme heat.

Natural landscapes regenerate themselves, with trees dropping leaves that become multi-, multi- feeding the soil and promoting new growth. Pavement, by contrast, perpetuates the very conditions that cause it to fail.

Today, cities are left with neither the cooling benefits of healthy soil and tree canopy, nor the reliable infrastructure the paving was supposed to provide.

Local governments are showing how to kick pavement addiction

Local public officials are beginning to name pavement as part of the problem, which is a crucial first step toward transformation.

In London, Mayor Sathy Phase's office developed a how-to guide to encourage community-led deposing projects. Once so, Italy, approved an update to its manuscript plan that identifies deposing as a crucial tool within the government's land-use authority.

Phase's like Paris and Los Angeles are taking the sites a step further, experimenting with deposing through noteworthy projects and setting quantifiable targets for removal. Former Paris Mayor Anne Hildig's management/lgp profile impacting projects during Joe tenure, including a symbolic transformation of a public square in front of city hall.

In Los Angeles County, officials have adopted a deposing target, aiming to remove 1,600 acres of pavement and replace it with green infrastructure by 2045.

Balancing necessary pavement with necessary green corridors

Not all pavement is a candidate for removal. Streets and sidewalks need to remain accessible for many reasons.

Yet removing unnecessary pavement from places where it is not essential, like plazas or roadway modians, and replacing it with vegetated surfaces like trees and rain gardens can improve thermal comfort while reducing the extremes that strain essential infrastructure.

The amount of excess pavement in cities is higher than residents may expect. Recent research conducted by my organization revealed that as much as 44% of pavement in LA County might not be functionally necessary.

In the context of that study, "necessary" pavement was defined as that used for property use and that did not required parking spaces. However, this in vitro a broader policy discussion about whether requirements such as minimum parking spaces should be treated as fixed constraints or revised to further reduce unnecessary paving.

Medellin, Colombia, shows what's possible when space is reclaimed for living systems. The city's "green corridors" program replaces roadway edges with dense vegetation and has already cooled the city by 2 degrees Celsius - with more cooling experience. Disrupting this pattern calls for a reimagination of governance, from ruling over land to participating in the living systems that make life possible in a weaning world.

'Not in his nose': A father's plan for year-round school

Just Burgess USA TODAY

So, this is less of an opinion column and more of a ... STOP HITTING YOUR BROTHER!

Jerry about that. I was saying, this isn't really a column, it's a ... PUT THE BAKERS, I, BUT STORY.

Again, sorry. This isn't a column, it's an emergency face. I'm doing it off, being someone beyond our battered and smoking, home will see it, possibly a school official or politician in my state's capital or Washington.

But even if those policy makers notice the faint light over the horizon, I fear they won't understand or respond.

Because if they have school-age children... I TOLD YOU TO TURN OFF THE TV... NOW! I assume their kids have been doing summer, "pregnant", sleepover camps, sports camps, day camps. Or maybe they have a parent who can afford to not work during summer break and can be present and manage the kids.

Or maybe, they have found the holy gurl. Maybe their children are in year-round school.

While that system of shorter summer breaks with vacation days spread more evenly around the school year is not that common in the United States, I would argue it should be. As would my wife, who is counting down to the first day of school like it's the end of a prison sentence.

The benefits include economic security and sanity for parents as well as better education, health and even safety for children.

I tend to forget how long summer break is. Until it's summer. And then, it's too late.

At that point, we are in for another. It weeks of "isn't it great that we can

work from home," except "I can't hear myself think over the TV and the screening."

Still, being able to work remotely is a benefit many parents don't have.

And if they can't afford to put their kids in a camp, hopefully there's something they can afford that provides ... DO NOT PUT THAT UP HIS NOSE! Sorry - something that provides a safe, nurturing environment.

From unaffordable summer camps to the refuge that schools provide

The summer camps in our area have wonderful settings in the mountains of North Carolina.

But they aren't affordable for us, since a lot of them focus on kids from higher-income families who live outside our region. Some charge well over $2,000 a week.

There are some changes and even less summer programs, but slots can be limited, and it's hard to collide together

a summer that way.

I thought I knew the history of school summer breaks - that during a more agrarian past, children were needed to work on the farm. But that's apparently not true, since spring and fall are actually the busy reasons for farms.

What really happened is that before air conditioning, school buildings were distractingly hot. And as an increasing number of families could afford to travel for vacation, schools closed down in the hottest months.

Now the president is swinging the other way, with family vacations and summer camps increasingly unaffordable. Schools, meanwhile, are air-conditioned, while my century-old house is not, except for a couple of bedroom windows under that let us sleep in the summer. Climate change is real. Just ask my kids.

The other thing that's real is summer learning loss, sometimes called the "stomach slide." I, for one, can see the math draining out of my kids' brains

daily. And good luck trying to get them off screens long enough to pick up a book ... STOP GROUNDING YEA, I SAID, "BOOK" IT'S MADE OF PAPER AND TELL'S YOU THINGS.

Summer learning opportunities, reliable meals and safety add up

The slide can be particularly bad for lower income kids. One long-term halftimes study found that the biggest reason poor kids regard academically behind richer children was a lack of summer learning opportunities.

Summer can also be a time of hunger. More than 12.2 million income-qualifying U.S. students eat free or reduced-price breakfast during the school year and 21.1 million get free or reduced-price lunch. Take away the cafeterias, and many of those students lose one or two reliable meals.

It's also not surprising that long periods without daily structure and supervision can increase children's risk of getting involved with crime, either as a victim or perpetrator. The fact that gains are the leading cause of death for U.S. youth raises those stakes.

Shootings involving minors are something we're unfortunately familiar with in my hometown. Sometimes at my house, we're close enough to beat the gun shots.

One option I've seen promoted to help keep kids out of trouble during the long summer break is structured job and volunteer programs.

Which isn't a bad idea. But I know another one that helps keep children safe, feeds them, educates them and allows their parents to keep their jobs and sanity: year-round school.

DO NOT USE THE PLUNGER FOR THAT!

$1B in student loan debt set to be canceled, advocate said

Mike Snider

USA TODAY

More than 170,000 borrowers will have their student loan debt expect as part of a purchasing class-action battle over about $23 billion in canceled loans.

In the case, filed in 2019, several students applied to the Department of Education for federal student loan relief under the Borrower Defense rule because predatory for-profit schools misled them or defrauded them. Even though the Biden administration reached a settlement in 2022, the Trump administration continued to delay giving the borrowers relief, according to the Project on Predatory Student Lending, which brought the case on behalf of the plaintiffs.

The Education Department's latest attempt to postpone the settlement's schedule of relief for borrowers for 18 months was rejected July 17 by a federal appeals court. That means about $11 billion in loans are set to be forgiven for more than 170,000 borrowers who did

not receive timely decisions on their borrower defense applications, Eileen Connor, president and executive director of The Project on Predatory Student Lending, told USA TODAY.

Overall, the case, originally titled Sweet vs. DeVos and the Department of Education, will lead to at least $23 billion in federal student loan relief for about 500,000 people, Connor said.

"In terms of monetary relief provided, Sweet is the largest class-action settlement in American history and the largest settlement ever reached against the federal government," she said. "It is also among the largest settlements of any kind in the U.S."

The recent court decision "made clear that the federal government cannot simply disregard borrowers' rights and its own legal obligations without consequences," Connor said.

What was the student loan class-action suit about?

Nine original plaintiffs, including Theresa Sweet, a California woman

who attended Brooks Institute of Photography, sued the Education Department, then headed by Betsy DeVos, alleging that the department had failed to cancel federal student loan debts that were borrower relief status.

In the original 2019 court filing, the borrowers said, "The schools actually delivered worthless products that left students with thousands of dollars in debt, damaged credit, and depleted access to further student aid."

The Education Department in January 2017 began to ignore "the growing pile of borrower defenses, reduced its capacity to decide borrower defenses, and diverted its increasingly limited resources to up—in all—of the prior administrations' work," the borrowers argued in the case.

While waiting for loan forgiveness to be paid out, many were unable to get employment they hoped they would be eligible for and many couldn't qualify for loans to buy homes or cars, according to the case.

U.S. economy loses 23,000 jobs in July, report said

Latest numbers show labor market weakens

Rachel Barber

USA TODAY

U.S. employees shed 23,000 jobs in July, a figure far below analysts' expectations, and downward revisions to job growth numbers for May and June reflect a weaker labor market than had been estimated.

The July job losses reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Aug. 7 come after hiring slowed in June following an earlier rebound from historically weak job creation in 2025. The July estimate comes in below the department's now-revived estimated gains of 20,000 jobs in June and 43,000 in May.

The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% in July. After three months of holding steady at 4.3%, it dropped to 4.2% in June, though some experts attributed that dip to a decline in the number of people looking for work, rather than a significant rise in those getting hired. The labor force participation rate fell to 61.4% in July, the lowest reading since February 2021 and slightly down from 65.5% in June.

"With job opportunities remaining scarce, more workers are exiting the labor market entirely," ZipRecruiter labor economist Nicole Bachand said in a note to USA TODAY.

Average hourly earnings for employees on private, nonfarm payrolls rose by 2 cents to $37.62 in July, the labor statistics bureau said. Over the past 12 months, they have increased 3.2%, falling short of the 3.5% year-over-year increase in consumer prices recorded in June. The bureau's Consumer Price Index report due Aug. 12 will reveal whether employees paychecks kept up with inflation in July.

July marked the first time since February this year the U.S. economy shed jobs. July also marked the first time in 2026 the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%.

Which sectors lost jobs? Which are still hiring?

Health care, typically a reliable engine of job growth, was the only industry to post notable gains in July, adding 22,000 roles. Though that figure still represents growth, it's lower than the sector's average monthly gain of 36,000 over the past 12 months.

Outside of health care, "hiring has very little momentum," said Kory Kanterga, LinkedIn's head of economics for the Americas. "This is not a labor market that's reaccelerating despite speculation to the contrary earlier this year."

Employment in local government education fell by 50,000 in July after showing little net change over the past year, the labor statistics bureau said. Retail trade shed 19,000 jobs and the financial activities sector lost 14,000.

Employment was little changed from June to July in other industries, including social assistance, construction, manufacturing, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality.

Though the bureau's jobs report is generally considered the gold standard for labor market data, ADF's National Employment Report released Aug. 5 also offers a look into private-sector hiring trends. It tells a different story, suggesting Robert L.S. employers added 44,000 jobs in July, driven by 36,000 roles added to the education and health services sector.

The ADF report found hiring increased in several other industries, including financial activities, professional and business services, information, construction and manufacturing. It found hiring declined in leisure and hospitality, trade, transportation and utilities, and natural resources and mining.

How is the U.S. job market overall?

The "low-bye, low-fan" dynamic economists said defined the U.S. labor market in 2025 may be back, if it ever went away.

Explaining the FCC's rule on foreign-made robots

Greta Cross

USA TODAY

Roombas may be under attack by the U.S. government.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced on July 28 that it is banning new foreign-made robotic devices due to national security threats. Though not explicitly outlined, Roombas and other self-sufficient vacuums manufactured outside of the country may fall under the ban.

FCC deputy communications director and policy adviser Will Wequist confirmed to USA TODAY that the ban does cover vacuums in a statement obtained by USA TODAY. Before, parent company of Roomba, said: "We are aware of the FCC's recent action and are working with them to better understand its implementation and potential impact. We remain committed to serving our customers and will share updates as more information becomes available."

Here's what we know about how the

new FCC regulation may impact Roombas and other robot vacuums not made in the United States.

Roombas meet qualifying criteria

The FCC's updated ban defines "advanced robotic devices" as a "mechanical mobile device" capable of "accomotion, obstacle avoidance, navigation or movement on the ground." These devices also operate at a distance from a human operator, weigh more than 4.4 pounds and utilize feature a sensor capable of perceiving its environment, a component that offers Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular connectivity, or software that controls the device's navigation, like firmware of a machine-learning model.

By those definitions, Roombas and many at-home robotic cleaners fall under the ban.

Where are they made?

Though iRobot launched Roomba in

the United States and American company in 2012, iRobot was acquired by Chinese manufacturers Shenzhen Prova Robotics in January.

According to the news release announcing the news, Prova Robotics operates development and manufacturing facilities in China and Vietnam.

Ban would not affect

the Roomba in your home

If the FCC's ban on "advanced robotic devices" does affect Roombas, the ban would only affect nearly manufactured ones. The ban does not make the Roomba in your home illegal.

Any robot vacuums made in U.S.?

Largely vacuums and robot vacuums are manufactured outside of the United States. In addition to Roombas, Dywnica hasຢູ່ແລ້ວສະເຫມີ. Singapore, Black products are manufactured in China and Vietnam. Robotics is based in Baji

ing and Ecovacs is in Suzhou, China.

However, there is one U.S.-based robotics company that produces the vacuums 'static. But it comes with a belly pinx bag compared to others on the market. The latest Matic robot vacuum, which includes a dock, is blend for 81,245. For comparison, similar, newly released Roombas range between $200 and $700, with the latter options including self-empting docks.

Jobs

Continued from Page 18

layoffs and job openings were little changed in June from the month before.

Such a dynamic has led to a competitive market for job seekers. LinkedIn data revealed that the number of applications per job seekers on the platform rose in July, suggesting many are still finding it difficult to land work.

"As not just that new goals are hitting the market. That happens every year," Kanteaga said. "We haven't seen as many jobs available for such person looking. That's been declining since peak 2022. It's been relatively steady over the past year, but it hasn't increased either."

Meanwhile, employed workers still fear layoffs and feel downbeat. Open doors for employee satisfaction. Index, which offers a glimpse at where employees feel their company is headed, fell to a record low in July. The percentage of employees who reported "a positive six-month business outlook" sunk to 43.5%.

Daniel Zhao, Glassdoor's chief economist, said that while the survey question specifically asks about business outlook, he knows employees consider several factors when answering. In a sluggish-liken market, he said, even employed workers can worry about their ability to land their next job, promotion or raise.

"Clearly, employees don't feel like the current job market is working for them," Zhao said, adding that just because someone is already employed, "that doesn't mean that they are getting a case opportunities they want."

Where is the U.S. job market headed?

U.S.-based employees announced 33,420 job cuts in July, down 27% from June and the lowest monthly total in two years, a Challenge, Gray & Stone-company, which has been based announced layoff plans are down 48% this year compared with the first seven months of 2025.

For the 60th straight month, artificial intelligence led all reasons companies cited for job cuts. Most were seen in the

technology and transportation sectors in July.

On the other hand, employers announced plans to hire 16,000 people in July up 47% from June and the highest total since 2022, the report said. In far this year, hiring plans are up 25% compared with the same period in 2021.

"Employees are hiring more than they were at this point last year, which is made the trend we've seen since 2020," Andy Challenger, the firm's workplace expert and chief revenue officer, said in a statement released alongside the report. "The demand is showing up in aerospace, energy, and manufacturing, work that happens on a floor rather than a screen."

What does this mean for the Fed and Internet rates?

This report is one of many Federal news to policymakers will review ahead of their next rate decision in September. By then, policymakers will have the largest jobs report to look back on as well as inflation data for July and August.

"In terms of jobs, we would tentatively suggest a rebound is possible for Au-

gust, but the Fed's decision is more likely to come down to what happens on inflation," James Knightley, chief international economist at DeSic bank JNU, said in a note to USA TODAY. The Fed typically raises its benchmark for interest rates to help tune inflation and lower cost when it's concerned about slowing in the labor market.

The secret combination for the Fed is a inflation return to activity, while the labour market weakens," Diane Steenk, KPMU Economist chief economist and managing director, said in a separate note after the July jobs report's release.

Fed watchers have found the September decision difficult to predict after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Wundz suggested markets were doing some of the Fed's inflation fighting work for it.

Before the July jobs reports release, traders were nearly evenly split as the Fed's asset move, with about half-timing on a quarter-point tide and half-producing policymakers would continue to hold the Federal funds rate at a range of 3.5% to 3.75%. After the release, more are anticipating a pause, according to CME FedWatch.

Settlement

Continued from Page 18

One student told the court her loan total had risen from about $250,000 to more than $400,000 while working for her borrowers defense application, accepted in June 2022, to be resolved.

"This case was always about borrowers-voting together to stand up for what was right," said Sweet in a July 23 news release.

The 2022 law, up-and-down of the last seven years, we became a community author by the belief that what happened to us was wrong, and it became clear just how many people had been

harmed by the same broken system."

The 2022 settlement reached by the Biden administration has already led to $6 billion in federal student loan debt relief for 500,000 students. But the student loan case, which has continued across both Young administrations, has imported as many as 500,000 borrowers because a backlog of more than 200,000 grew during the court battle, the FPM, said.

The court's decision to uphold the settlement's deadlines is "an extraordinary consumer protection victory," Connor, a U.S.

"It forced the federal government to act on roughly half a million long neglected claims and entitled the overwhelming majority of those borrowers

to full settlement relief – including cancellation of debt they should never have owed, corrected credit reports, and, where applicable, refunds of payments they had already made. It also made clear that the federal government cannot simply disregard borrowers' rights and its own legal obligations without consequence."

How do I know if my student loans are affected?

New applicants for borrower relief are not eligible for this settlement. This decision should lead to loan relief for about 170,000 who filled borrower defense applications in 2022.

The Education Department's final

deadline to clear borrower loan debts is June 15, 2027. Borrowers are not required to make payments as they wait for loan forgiveness to bid it.

The average federal student loan balance forgives under the settlement was more than $48,000. Connor told CNBC "Individual amounts vary significantly, however, and many borrowers received substantially more or less," she said.

For more details about the settlement and the relief process, go to The Project on Feodatory Student Loans website.

Members of the original class of plaintiffs have been waiting for relief for as much as a year and half, the FPM, has sent the Education and Justice departments a formal notice of material breach of the settlement.

Retirement plans change as workers age

The 2026 Retirement Trend Report from NFP, a property and casualty broker and benefits consultant, shows a gradual evolution in retirement expectations as workers age.

Only 12% of workers under 35 said they expect Social Security to be their main source of income in retirement, NFP reports. But the figure rises to 22% for workers ages 16 to 54 and to 45% for workers 35 and older.

Another retirement report, the 2026 Retirement Confidence Survey from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, shows a similar trend. As workers age, Social Security looms ever larger in their retirement plans.

Among workers ages 25-34, only 12% said they expect Social Security to be a major source of retirement income. For workers ages 55-64, the figure rises to 44%.

The EBR report draws from surveys of more than 2,000 workers and retirees in January 2026.

Some American retirees can rely on Social Security for income and get by retirement reports say. But nearly half? Maybe not.

"That's way too high," said Craig Copeland, director of wealth benefits research at EBR. "I'm talking maybe 10% could do it," he said, and "those

people would not be living a good retirement."

The role of Social Security in retirement

Within the retirement planning industry, debate rages about how large a role Social Security should play in an American employee's retirement plans.

Financial planners urge people to save hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions, to supplement Social Security in retirement.

One rule of thumb suggests workers can to save 10 times their annual income in a retirement account.

Financial services firms publish estimates of "huge" numbers, derived from surveys that ask Americans how much money they think they would need for a comfortable retirement. One recent report put the magic number at $1.2 million.

American workers read those reports. The idea of a million-dollar retirement might number can feed retirement fears.

"It wastes people when they see 'You need $2 million to retire,' said Steve Jain, world management practice leader at NFP.

In the NFP report, 66% of workers said they had the confidence in their ability to achieve a comfortable retirement. More than 70% said their retirement savings were "off track."

The findings, released in July, draw from a survey of 1,000 working adults who were involved in financial planning decisions for their households.

Do you really need $1 million to retire in comfort?

On the other side of the retirement planning debate, experts stress there's no need for most people to save a ever-figure sum for retirement. They note that millions of Americans retire with little or no savings, and most of them seem to be doing fine.

The typical retiree has only $182,000 in household savings, according to a 2025 retirement survey from the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies.

Other surveys suggest only about half of retirees have any retirement savings.

Nevertheless, surveys show that most retirees are financially stable.

In an April 2026 Gallup poll, 82% of retirees said they have enough money to live in comfort.

In the 2025 Federal Survey of Household Economics and Decolonizing, 83% of Americans over 60 said they were either 'living comfortably' or 'doing okay' financially.

The Gallup poll illustrates how heavily retirees rely on Social Security. When the pollster asked retirees to name their major sources of income, 62% said Social Security. Only 27% cited retirement savings.

"When I get out in the rural areas of America... Social Security is a major income source for retirees, and they seem to make it work for them," Jann said.

"You shouldn't expect [Social Security] to be your primary source of income," he said. "But the reality is, it is for many people."

Some retirees can rely on Social Security more than others

While retirement experts may not recommend retirees rely on Social Security alone, some retirees can probably depend on the trust fund more than others.

Lower-income Americans, in particular, can expect Social Security to replace a large share of the income they earned in their working years.

Social Security benefits are progressive. The lower your income, the more if it you get back in your Social Security checks. Social Security replaces 95% of your income up to $1,286 a month. The replacement rate drops to 32% for the menses between $1,296 and $7,749, and to 35% for someone above $7,749.

Other factors might allow a retiree to loan more heavily on Social Security in retirement. Honoursmen who have unpaid a mortgage in full, for example, might have lower monthly expenses.

"If you are a lower earner who also owned a house and you're not paying a mortgage anymore, you could probably get by mainly on Social Security," said Copeland at EBR.

None of that, however, guarantees home income Americans will live a comfortable retirement if they rely on Social Security.

"We know that there are 9 million older adults that have on annual income of less than $20,000," said Johnston of NUSA. "We have all the time about older adults who are making difficult choices about whether to pay rent, whether to pay for medication."

CRYSTAL BALL GAZING

Nate Davis projects records for all 32 NFL teams: The best, the in-betweens, the worst by division

Nate Davis USA TODAY

Great expectations.

The Los Angeles Rams don't exactly operate in a Dickensian world, but they will enter the NFL season with as much pomp and circumstance as any team in recent memory, the dynastic New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs included.

After arguably being the league's second-best squad by the end of both the 2024 and '25 campaigns, LA has embraced a Super Bowl-or-boat approach – coach Sean McVay and general manager Lev Sissod following an active free agency period and fairly bizarre draft with the stunning acquisition of ongoing Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, perhaps the NFL's preeminent talent, on June 1. Next? They might even get Aaron Donald, one of the greatest defensive players of all time, back in the fold.

I was ride-or-die with the Rams throughout last

season and – all credit to the Seattle Seahawks – I still think MVP Matthew Stafford and company were just a wonky bounce or two away from coasting to a second Super Bowl victory in five seasons. The arrivals of Garrett and former K.C. DBe Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, plus what seems the likely return of Donald, should obviously fortify what was often an imposing defense in 2025 – if one that seemed worn out by the end of the men's second loss in Seattle by season's end.

But while I'm very much buckled into a suddenly crowded bandwagon – along with most prominent batting services – the field, starting with the reigning champion Seahawks, is as compelling as it almost always is. Other serious challengers appear to be emerging in the NPC, while the AFC home to seven of this season's 10 new head coaches, projects as a mixed bag of potential contenders that includes the Chiefs and some of the usual suspects they've had to mostly fend off in recent seasons, last year's disastrous showing notwithstanding.

So what exactly appears in the offing for this season? Will the Rams actually win it all or will there be

Back stage insightful vantage Fame point

Roger Craig's dementia revelation touches many

CANTON, OH – Minutes after Roger Craig announced that he has been diagnosed with dementia during a 30-minute videotaped acceptance speech, Emmett Smith tripped past me and shook his head.

"It's a brutal game," Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher, said as I stood near a side entrance to the stage where the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremonies were conducted Aug. 8 inside Tom Benson Stadium.

Craig, 66, won three Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers and in 1985 became the first player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards and notch 1,000 yards receiving in the same season. But the running back acknowledged in his speech – without regret – that doctors suspect concussions suffered during his football career may have contributed to his condition.

That's what Smith, the former Dallas Cowboys star, was undoubtedly processing in the moments after Craig's contagious revelation.

"You learn a lot," Smith continued. "It teaches you. But damn."

After Craig was showered on the stage with love from a contingent of 49ers Hall of Famers – former roommate Ronnie Lott, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Charles Haley, Steve Young and Eddie DeBartolo among them – he jetted backstage and posed for pictures with his newly unveiled bust. He was joined in the moment by more than a dozen family members, including his son Rogdick, who never left his side.

In some ways, it was the same Roger Craig who brought so much pop to one of the NFL's most productive offenses – full of life, energy and positivity.

He stretched his arms wide, looked to the sky and yelled, "This is my family! What the hell?"

Craig waited 28 years for this moment, elected as a seniors finalist, decades after some of his teammates were enshrined. "I kind of knew something was going to happen sooner or later," Craig told USA TODAY Sports. "I was just waiting."

Despite the extended time on the Hall of Fame runway, Craig and his family made certain that receiving the highest honor in football was not just about him. Classy Rogdick said it was "super important" to publicly reveal the diagnosis of his father's brain disorder – dementia symptoms include loss of cognitive functions, including memory impairment and reasoning – because awareness may help other football players. "There are a lot of players that deal with this, and they don't say anything. By the time they get older, it's already too late. We're big proponents of getting on offense early

NBA POWER RANKINGS

Finding landing spots in wild offseason

Lorenzo Reyes

USA TODAY

This NBA offseason, as expected, was tumultuous.

A Top 5 player in Giannis Antetokounmpo was traded to the Miami Heat. Another All-MA selection in Jaylen Brown also is on the move – and in his case to the Philadelphia 76ers, a division rival of the Boston Celtics on loss. And the game's greatest sum of this generation, LeBron James, is joining his fourth team in what will be his record 24th season. He'll join Brown in Philly.

Those were just some of the moves. With most of the major free agency moves completed and with the NBA draft well in the rearview mirror, here are the USA TODAY Sports NBA offseason power rankings:

Top 10

1. New York Knicks, 53-29 (regular-season record) in 2025-26!
2. San Antonio Spurs, 62-20
3. Oklahoma City Thunder, 64-08
4. Philadelphia 76ers, 45-37
5. Detroit Pistons, 60-22
6. Denver Nuggets, 54-28
7. Minnesota Timberwolves, 49-33
8. Houston Rockets, 52-30
9. Cleveland Cavaliers, 52-30
10. Los Angeles Lakers, 53-29

The defending champion Knicks stayed nearly pat though they did lose Mitchell Robinson, but if nonetheless remains that everyone is looking to catch them. The biggest moves here, however, are undoubtedly the Sixers, who overhauled their roster after those Knicks swept them in the conference semifinals. Jaylen Brown and LeBron James suddenly give the Sixers one of the most stacked starting lineups in the league. Now, can they stay healthy?

One interesting team in this group is the Timberwolves, who clearly understood that Anthony Edwards would need more help with slot creation and ballhandling. Out are Julius Randle and Nuc Red and in comes LeMelle Ball in what could be the biggest feast or famine move of the offseason. And then

there are the Lakers, who lost James and went all in on Walker Kessler. These moves are all about building around Luka Donzic and Austin Beaves, but the new pieces may need time to jell. Even then, it's not immediately clear if Los Angeles actually improved.

Nos. 11-20

11. Boston Celtics, 56-26
12. Miami Heat, 43-39
13. Toronto Raptors, 46-36
14. Indiana Pacers, 19-63
15. Atlanta Hawks, 46-36
16. Portland Trail Blazers, 42-40
17. Orlando Magic, 45-37
18. Utah Jazz, 22-60
19. Chicago Bulls, 35-51
20. Phoenix Stars, 45-37

While the Heat did halt the best available player and a genuine Top 5 talent in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo, this is still a roster that has some flaws. Miami should shine defensively fast shooting and shot creation remain an issue. For the most part, people appear to be sleeping on the Pacers, who may have very well won the 2014-15 season NBA Finals had star point guard Tyrese Halliburton not captured his Achilles tendon early in Game 7. Halliburton will be back and Ivica Zubac shores up Indians's presence down low.

The last are another interesting team and now we can see the fruits of their tank job, adding Darren Peterson, with the No. 2 pick and last year's trade acquisition Jason Jackson Jr. having an offseason to settle in makes Utah a top candidate to see the biggest win improvement next season. And the Bulls could also be quiet contenders, after adding No. 4 overall rookie Caleb Wilson and Norman Powell and hitting Tiago Splitter as head coach.

Nos. 21-30

21. Golden State Warriors, 37-45
22. Charlotte Hornets, 44-38
23. Dallas Mavericks, 26-56
24. Washington Wizards, 17-65
25. Los Angeles Clippers, 42-40
26. Memphis Grizzlies, 25-57

LeBron James is joining Joel Embiid on the 76ers in the NBA Atlantic Division. JAYNE KAMIN-O'KCEA/MASON RANGER

27. New Orleans Pelicans, 26-56
28. Milwaukee Bucks, 32-50
29. Sacramento Kings, 22-60
30. Brooklyn Nets, 20-62 The big question here is about the Warriors and their decision to run it back. Jimmy Butler appears likely to start the season sidelined, and Golden State essentially doubled down on this build. Rookie Yaari Lendeberg should

be a nice player, but this aging, injury-prone team may once again struggle to get out of the play-in.

The Wizards are another team that appears to be on the secret, but questions remain about Tsar Young and Anthony Davis and how their veteran presence will fit with this young team that just landed No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybontas.

NHL OFFSEASON QUESTIONS

Red Wings motoring on several big fronts

Mike Brehm

USA TODAY

August is often a down period for NHL transactions, and that mostly has been the case after a very eventful July. Many top five agency signings were done on July 1. Alex Ovestidov is signed on July 2 and Patrick Kane made his decision to come home to the Chicago Blackhawks on July 23. The arbitration period ended with all 10 players settling before their hearings.

The Philadelphia 76ers signed the Anaheim Ducks' Leo Carlsson to a record $10 million average annual value offer sheet, which the team matched. Blackhawks star Connor Bedard signed for RDM AAV and the San Jose Sharks' Macklin Coleman passed Carlsson to become the NRL's highest-paid player with an $18.00 AAV extension.

The Pittsburgh Penguins broke the usual August doldrums on Aug. 6 with a surprising eight-year contract for Yifee Koivunen. Does that mean teams might ramp up again? There's more on their plates.

Here is some of what needs to be resolved as the start of the 2026-27 season approaches in late September.

Red Wings' GM search

The Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported team owner Chris Birch has employed a search firm to find a replacement for general manager Steve Yzerman. He will move up to a senior adviser position after seven years as GM. Assistant GM Shares Heard is handling day-to-day responsibilities, though that does not extend to making trades.

Dylan Larkin trade request

The Red Wings star's trade request happened after the regular season and leaked in early June. He has a no-trade clause and has listed the Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild as preferred destinations. The Red Wings also have talked to the Dallas Stars, the Free Press reported. Yzerman said after the draft he would

act only in the team's best interest. That decision likely will fall to Yzerman's successor. Larkin has five years left on his contract, so Detroit doesn't have to rush to make a move. But things could get complicated for Larkin as team captain if the situation isn't resolved before training camp.

Quinn Hughes contract extension

The Wild sent a big haul to the Vancouver Canucks to land the coveted defenseman last winter and he's about to enter the final year of his contract. Minnesota would like to extend him.

"I've been talking to Quinn and his camp all along," general manager Bill Guerin said last week on the Judd's Hockey Show podcast. "These things take time. They're big decisions for players. They're big decisions for teams.

"It's a process to work through it." A three-year extension through 2026-30 would like to come up with the end of the contract of his brother Jack, who is playing for the New Jersey Devils. Quinn Hughes should pass Chicago's Bowen Byrum (R2.5 million) as the top-paid defenseman with his next contract – and likely Celebrist as the top-paid player.

Colorado-defenseman Cale Makar, a two-time Norris Trophy winner, is also up for an extension and could set records.

The outcomes allow me to apply two-bouksers, when needed, to determine and do it for LA team playoff field—seedings in parentheses—before serving at a champion. Wasting, past performances, which have generally had a nice NFL are no guarantee of future returns.!

NFC East

(1) Dallas Cowboys (8-6): After being extensively retocled with veteran and rookie acquisitions, it appears they are poised to play 'a lick of defense' of ten senior Jerry Jones lamented a unit that surrendered the most points in the league in 2020. If new defensive coordinator Christian Parker can progress his side of the ball to average, then what ought to be an explosive offense should have enough firepower to get this team back after the division... and maybe much further for a franchise that hasn't been able to play. Every week, a 16 or title game in more than three decades. Circle December, when Dallas faces the foreshocks, Rams and Jaguars, as a more critical question than it typically is.

Washington Commanders (9-8): They've got a rookie offensive coordinator (David Marshall) who was a backup quarterback in the league five minutes ago. Could take some time for him and their boss QB Justice Daniels to get on the same page amid a challenging early slate, a stretch that could determine whether Philadelphia gets back to the playoffs. A seemingly underpowered without crops able to blanket leaders, but there's certainly enough talent for the Commanders to again be a factor.

Philadelphia Eagles (8-9): They've got a rookie offensive coordinator (Iwan Mannion) who was a backup quarterback in the league five minutes ago. Could take some time for him and the boss Super James (Will Allen Hurts—will be for OK being under center race, using extensive pre-strap motion and delivering the ball quickly—to get on the same page amid a challenging early slate, a stretch that could determine whether Philadelphia gets back to the playoffs. An almost entirely reconfigured without crops able to flatter leaders, but there's certainly enough talent here for the two-time defending division—change to again be a factor.

New York Giants (6-8): Optimism is justifiably running high at the outset of the base, but the team's goal is the new coach won a Super Bowl and took the Ravens in the playoffs eight times—merely in the time since the Giants captured their bat Lombardi Trophy more than LA years ago. But let's not forget the offensive core of QB James Hart, WR Malik Nabers and RB Cam Shatelouli and JG Sontore up to varying degrees in 2020. — Nabers and Shatelouli coming back from season ending injuries—and are now tasked with learning a new playback and pickaways. More than half of the ball's team starters come in now, though that's probably a plus. Resizing a schedule that schedule the NFC West's powerhouses doesn't help.

NFC North

(2) Chicago Braves (12-5): Regression is certainly possible given their reliance on a league-high 33 takeaways during last year's major target take—plenty of that major rubbing of the QB (Adult Williams' right arm in the most high-leven-up—profound. James King's division changes have also drawn the league's most difficult schedule based on their opponent's collective winning percentage in 2020.) 2020. Yet overall progression in year two under head coach Ben Arlinson is just as likely, assuming NFL liams and company continue to master an offense which spotlights a blushing rung area and should get more from a three and talented group of pass catchers—perhaps enough to finally make Williams' the 26-year-old franchise's first 4,000-yard run in the 1st 58 short of the mark in 2025. Putting three of the first four games at Soldier Field should help.

(6) Detroit Lions (8-6): A team that tied for the league's best record (15-2) in 2024 (determined to the bottom of the division, though with a respectable 9-8 mark, last season. Moving forward, a last-place schedule should be a boon to

Quarterback Jack Allen (17) will lead the Bills into a new season on favorites in the AFC East. Note: total (AFC) total (NASA) 10A-10B (CBS) (COMET)

a squad still teeming with talent. However, new coordinator Drew Perring might need to get a stacked offense, bumming quickly given the defense still appears hamstrung as stellar starting solstons Brian Branch (Achilles) and Andre Joseph (bass) may take a while longer to get back into the lineup—and for a secondary that already shed CB Vernon Arnold.

Green Bay Packers (10-7): Given they've averaged 9.3 wins over the last four seasons, this outlook might be a tough generous — particularly given OLE Moody Parmes won't be back in the lineup until October... at the earliest. TE Tucker Kraft is also coming back from a torn ACL, and Jordan Morgan is unproven as an NFL left tackle. It's a lengthy way of saying this team could start slowly but finish fast — assuming Parmes is, say, 85% of the player we're accustomed to seeing once he's back in uniform. Home cooking could also find a strong stretch run, the Packers leaving Winnicott just once after Dec. 6, at least until the playoffs start.

Minnesota Vikings (9-8): They're a wild-and—perhaps literally (however—Kylee Murray, who seems a mortal back to earn the QB) in coming out of training camp, quickly adapts to Kevin O'Connell's offense and requires his career in what's a critically important season for the No. 1 pick of the 2019 draft. (Hey, Ewan Damichl cando it...) Getting the ball into WR Justin Jefferson's hands more than 84 times would be a good start for Murray and O'Connell, though the performance of a defense with several new parts (especially up front) will likely be just as critical for a team that hasn't won a playoff game in nearly seven years. Given the depth of this division, the Vikes won't have the luxury of time to find their footing.

NFC South

(4) New Orleans Saints (10-7): In a potentially backlater division, they finished enough to 2022, going undisclosed in December. RB Travis Elmore and first-round WR Jordyn Tyson should add juice to an offense that keeps to thrive once rookie QB Tyler Though took the votes. Further buoyed by a top defense, though one that has lost OL Bryan Brown to a torn ACL, the Saints could be one of this year's quiet contenders—assuming though can maintain his trajectory in year two. A last-place schedule—the NFC's weakest (.616)—should also be an advantage, though the Saints got satisfied with a tough starting position by opening at Detroit and Baltimore.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-9): They have been remarkably mediocre (10-35) in four seasons under head coach Todd Bowles, though that will get you three divisions current in the NFC South. But the Buccs collapsed down the stretch last year, being seven of their final nine games, have since said goodbye to manodays Mike Evans and Laverin David, and invited distinction amid the contractual imposes with team captains Baker Mayfield and Vita Von. The likely remain good enough to vie for the division (home again, but beyond that!

Carolina Panthers (6-10): Assessing them very much depends upon the eye of the beholder, though second-year WR Tetsawa McMillan contends the Panthers are 'very slayt on.' Yes, they're fresh off winning the NFC South for the first time since 2017 — but they also

backed into the division title amid losing three of their final four regular seasons (outside). The they gave the financial they could handle in the wild-card round, but the Panthers also had six losses by double digits. Yes, there's young talent like 2023 (Offensive Boats) of the Year McMillan and major free agent additions in LA Devlin Lloyd and Jordan Phillips. But second-year pass rusher Tex Sovaerts has already been lost to a torn ACL, and the offensive line is a jumble of equinox and newcomers. As for Bryce Young? There are flashes, but not enough to comply that team is valued its inconsistent quarterback. Factor in their first-place schedule, and the Panthers seem like a good bet... to disappoint.

Atlanta Falcons (6-10): Little idea what to make of this team. It just hired a two-time Coach of the Year in Kevin Stehansk and has reitalably using talent at the skill positions. RB Blair Robinson as gifted as any player in the league. But James Pearce Jr., who had 35% socks and 44 pressures as a rookie, could be facing a lengthy suspension for his off-field conduct. Five of their first seven games are against 2020 playoff teams. And the quarterback position remains a freteting problem, with seemingly scant likelihood that The Tagonist is not Michael Penis Jr. will sufficiently overcome their injury or inconsistency in sums to dissuade new President of Football Matt Ryan from amusing another QB next year... in the ongoing quest to replace former MVP Ryan himself. Still, Atlanta might have too many good players to organically land in the top five of the 2027 draft.

NFC West

(1) Los Angeles Rams (14-3): What else needs to be said about this world-levy/uppermost? Sure, ongoing MVP Matt there Stafford, 38, must continue to defy Father Tyson. WR Pika Norris needs to stay out of the off-field headlines as he time to continue the organization he's worthy of a bohemian bag. Defensive coordinator Chris White has these significant new parts to much—and maybe an old one if Donald unretires. At the very minimum, the special teams can't be an Achilles' bowl. And the Soubarsks remain a bagshot. Still, the Rams have won 20 of their last 28 games, many of the losses over that stretch of the flaky variety, and have more star power than any team in the league. Anything two than a Lombardi would be a disapparentest — especially since Stafford's age and keep-going crediters, Norman chief among them, could necessitate a drastically altered route to 2027.

(4) Seattle Soubarsks (14-3): Coming off a dominant performance in Super Bowl 63, the changes don't return entirely intact. WR Kenneth Wigand, 41, the Super Bowl MVP, and offensive coordinator Mike Kishak for chief defensive—but they are largely running it back otherwise. And while the Rams made the headlines, the qtrly, cohesive Soubarsks remain in LA's headspace after nearly going 5-6 against their divisional foes last season. Good luck finding any unit in the league more imposing than Seattle's 'Dark Side' defense. And if the culture could, Mike Macdonald has been a contiguous to play dividends, a repeat could most certainly be in the cards.

(7) San Francisco 49ers (8-6): So now the Santa Clara electrical substan-

tion is affecting Kyle Shanshark's judgment behind the wheel? Thankfully, he'll be OK — and hopefully as will all of the other 49ers (DE Nick Ross, LA Ford Warner, TE George Kittle, among others) on the comeback from major equinox. Among the equinox, what could they are their residency in the NFC West, two international type (Australia, Mexico) and what are close to wholesale changes in the without copy for QB Frank Purdy, though the return of Deshe Samuel does provide familiarity with Ricky Pearcal already landing on injured reserves. But a team that's sucked up double-digit striatons in front of the bat five seasons should hit that benchmark again.

Arizona Cardinals (2-5B): With apologies to rookie QB Cullen Beck, little reason to believe their season will be anything other than a powderless coach to the top-five draft pick that will allow them to find a more permanent replacement for Murray.

AFC East

(2) Buffalo Bills (8-6): New head coach, Joe Bradley, New address, New (alternate) and New Newcomers. WR DJ Moore, OLE Bradley Chubbs, New defensive coordinator, Jim Lombardi, who could be quite an X factor given the dip that side of the ball has taken the last five years. But will they collectively add up to more than the same—all Bills—good enough to fill agonizingly short of reaching the Super Bowl? In this seeming grab bag of a conference, just maybe.

(4) New England Patriots (10-7): They're not going to catch success of the 2020 draft, and a first-place schedule won't help the cause — and it includes a 2020 playoff team in each of the Pats' first four road games. Yet this is still a largely young and very formidable squad — one that might actually be a tougher out in 2026, even if the record doesn't necessarily reflect it. TBD if coach Mike Vickett—off-field behavior continues to resurface in drills and drills.

New York Jets (3-6): They picked three times in Boards' of this year's draft and were not going to catch success of 2027. In the interim, a team that was also active in five agency this year while turning over the rookie but hits the road for four of its first six games probably shouldn't expect to see many positive results in the win volume before next year.

Miami Dolphins (3-6): This isn't meant to disrespect first-year general manager Joe Eric Sullivan, rookie head coach Jeff Hailey or their players. But there's no denying that the Fuse purged this route, are derating at first salary cap and will predominantly roll with young and/or inexperienced starters in 2026, including first-time NFL QB! Mulls Willis. Miami very much looks like a team that could struggle to pass the ball until struggle to disrupt opposing at-cracks. The Dolphins also somehow wound up with the AFC's toughest schedule (opponents with a .543 winning percentage in 2025) — and that's with the Jets on there twice. Ominosa.

AFC North

(4) Cincinnati Bengals (2-6): They need some things — like for their ruthlessly talented at the Smiths quarterback to stay in the lineup... and for a highly independent offensive defense to deliver the goods... and for what's been a dreadful defense to devote to subject, at minimum. Basically, this is Dallas East. But QB Joe Beavers appears really to go. On defense received significant offseason investment, Zac Taylor is the only head coach in the divisions who was with his team last year and just two teams have weakest schedules than Chuy's (opponents with a .450 winning percentage in 2025). Maybe the Bengals aren't as complete as some of the NFC's seemingly take equals. But in what seems to be something of a wide-open AFC, perhaps Cincinnati is just as good a bet to get back to the 2019 Super Bowl stage they shared with the Rams at the end of the 2025 season.

(7) Baltimore Ravens (10-7): A happily disappointing 2025 campaign left them out of the playoffs and John Harbaugh, at least temporarily, without a job. But, aside from backing out of March's trade for DE Moors Cooley, the vibes have been pretty good here since the hiring of rookie head coach Jesse Mitten and his staff. Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson has been especially enthroned about rookie coordinator Declan Doyle's offense. Still, with so many moving go-2025, including an all-new exterior O'Une — plus a trip to Bratz early in the season, it could take some time for this team to jolt in what's almost always a highly competitive division. Might help that schedule is backloaded, the Ravens last four games all against AFC North foes.

Tommy John, 83, delivers emotional farewell

Bob Nightengale

USA TODAY

Former All-Star pitcher Tommy John, whose innovative elbow surgery from more than 50 years ago has helped thousands of pitchers prolong their careers, sent an emotional message to the New York Yankees on 000 Theses Day, thanking the organization and the fans while acknowledging his failing health.

John, 83, who has battled bladder cancer and other ailments in recent years, marked out and expressed his gratitude to Dr. Frank Jobs, George Steinbrenner and Yankees fans.

“I want to thank the Yankees organization & the Steinbrenner family for

giving me this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone, along with all the friends & fans who followed me throughout my 20-year career.”

He concluded, “The day I left for my first job as a pitcher, my father looked at me & said, ‘Good luck, Tommy, just remember one thing. Whether you make it big in the big leagues or you don’t, you’ll always just be Tommy John from Yerve Hustle, Indiana.

“I’ve never forgotten those words. Thanks you & God bless.”

John, a 289-game winner over a 20-year career, became synonymous with baseball elbow injuries when he had surgery performed by Jobs on Sept. 25, 1974, removing a tendon from John’s

wrist, drilling, or holes in the ulna of business losses of his left elbow, grafting the tendons together, and holding them in place with anchors.

It became one of the most innovative and influential surgeries in the history of sports medicine, performed on more than 5,000 pitchers. It is now referred to simply as “Tommy John royalty.”

“It’s amazing how many careers that surgery has saved,” he told USA TODAY Sports two years ago. “It was just an sentimental surgery I would have tried many things to come back and pitch. I told Dr. Jobs, do whatever you can to fix it. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, hey, we gave it out best.

“Thank God it worked. It was such a

blessing. I’m sure I don’t hate to that 50 years later. It’s needed more than ever, and that’s not. You would think with modern training and techniques, pitchers wouldn’t need that surgery so much.”

John went on to pitch for another 14 years while winning 164 more games.

He has frequently been asked why the surgery was named after him and not Dr. Jobs himself.

“I asked Frank about that,” John said. “He was such a humble guy, but he told me that he was started saying unless he later’d flattered replacement surgery with the podiatrist living in New York. I knew easier for him to say, ‘Oh, the surgery I performed on Tommy John.’”

and making sure you’re talking to your doctor,” Bogdick said. “He just wants to help as many people as possible. He’s the lowest person I know. My hero. I’m so proud of him.”

Witnessing Craig and the other inductors – Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Vincent, Luke Kuechly and Steve Breen – take their final steps into football immortality from a different vantage than usual added content to the work of the tintitus. With the new class, the roster of Hall of Famers – the team you can never have to from, the great reason Jones used to say – has expanded to 1957. And never have as many released to Clarion to ring in the new class, with 210 coming back to usher in the Class of 2026.

Behind the scenes

The respect and camaraderie with the Hall of Famers is palatable. Even with several event-bueling up to the entertainment – the gold jackets were presented on Friday night at the Civic Center. The 2026 All-Star Pro-Football Day shots and the Ray Mitschel Lanchever, when sninting Hall of Famers goes around the microphone preaching to the new class, who can’t speak during the lunch – there was still a great deal of catching up happening backstage.

Lafontaine Tomlinson, a first-ballot inductee in 2025, flew in Saturday morning. He certainly wanted to support Breen, the San Diego Chargers teammate and fellow member of the team’s 2010 draft class. Yet as we chatted backstage, he pledged to make it back more often. It was his third time back.

“My perspective has changed,” he told USA TODAY Sports. “So many guys that I played with and against are going in. I really need to be here. I mean, just busing the old stories is special. Just sitting around and listening to Mean Joe Groom. Are you holding me?”

Backstage was a hub of motion

between and even during the speeches. Players can hang on pinch or blurry on a faded on stage. But with the host and various levels of attention span, it’s not uncommon for some of the Hall of Famers to hang backstage for portions – or extended portions of speeches.

Of course, it’s a who’s who of football royalty? I get into a rather deep conversation with Eric Dickerson, who is miffed Hall Bill Belichick was not informed on the first ballot. And well, the former running back was far from the only Hall of Famer to broach that topic during the week of firstfielder.

In any event, my chat with Dickerson was fourth interrogated – by Joe Montana. A couple of minutes later, someone comes from behind and grabs on shoulder. It was Bruce Smith, Yep, football royalty.

Vinafter one-liners draw jokes

Did somebody mention Belichick? Well, Vinafter nearly did. Vinafter, the NFL’s all-time leading scorer and field-goal maker who won these Super Bowls with Belichick and the New England Patriots and another with the Indianapolis 248’s, had some distinct stand-up comedy in his speech.

In acknowledging that Belichick wasn’t in attendance, Vinafter cracked. “I thought it was because training camp

had already started. But in truth it’s because he is judging his girlfriend’s cheerleading competition.”

Ouch, Although Vinafter added, “All jokes aside, in my opinion Bill is the greatest coach of all time,” the punch line was enough to get Warren Sapp out of his seat.

Sapp, the gregarious, former “QB Kills,” halted backstage, carding:

“He’s going to hone every bridge going in,” Sapp said.

Vinafter also made a reference to the size of “Perrys Manning’s head. An Manning, whisked past me following the speech, it was apparent there were no hard feelings.”

Manning shrugged his shoulders and disobeyed, “Humble kicker.”

Then Manning headed to a photo area and straight with Vinafter’s family members whom he eventually ushered toward the kicker’s host.

Classy P-Money. Hey, it’s a major fraternity. And Chris Berman is nearly a number. The 1949 icon was back for his 26th consecutive ceremony (including the pandemic-canceled event in 2020) as the master of ceremonies.

Last year, Lynn Swann presented Berman with a letter football signal by Hall of Famers, to commemorate the 25-year mark.

With Jim Porter, the Pro Football Hall

Newly-enthrived Pro Football Hall of Fame member Larry Fitzgerald Jr. talks with Richard Seymour, center, and Emmett Thomas backstage on Aug. 8. —(NET) TEL: USA TODAY

of Fame’s executive director, within earshot, Berman declared, “If they’ll have me, I’ll do it every year that I still have a voice.”

In other words, Berman wants to be back-back-back-back.

He’s certainly old-school. Berman whipped out a futile that contained handwritten scripts for the introductions of such industry and other portions of the ceremony.

Then there was the new-school flavor in the mix. Fitzgerald was presented by his son Devin, a freshman, receiver at Notre Dame.

When Larry introduced me to Devin a couple of months ago, he was certainly the proud page as he proclaimed: “You’ve been told he writing about him one day. He: Bell.”

That sounded a lot like something Larry’s father, Larry Jr., a former sportswriter and radio host, would say about his son. It’s no wonder that Junior – who was once the Minnesota Vikings ball boy that Cris Carter and Randy Moss took under their wings – and he felt his dad’s presence all week.

If never forget Larry he pulling out a newspaper article about his son that was folded up in his wallet, telling me the son had to be old. Junior was probably just starting high school.

Just forward to Saturday, Backstage, I asked Devin how training camp is going.

“I’m missing a dog right now,” he said. “For good reason. The response, though, sounded so much like something his dad would say – a river sign that there’s another Fitzgerald receiver to keep an eye on.”

Who’s next? The first-time eligibles for the Class of 2027 include Adrian Peterson, Bob Goldsmith, Ben Bentleyberger, Richard Sherman and Antonio Brown. And these are just some of the new candidates joining a well-credentialed cast of returning nominees.

And did somebody mention Belichick?

One way or another, it will be buzzing backstage again next time.

Pittsburgh Steelers (7-10): Culture shock, good and/or bad, seems inevitable on the back of longtime coach Mike Tomlin’s departure. But his last launch produced a drivious champion, – even though they were in the league’s bottom quartile both offensively and defensively. New coach Mike McCarthy is intimately familiar with QB James Rodgers and seems to be the beneficiary of a few offensive upgrades. But an aging defense needs to turn back the draft, and an aging Rodgers will have to navigate a first place schedule that includes a trip to Paris and the Black Friday game. It feels like a high but, especially if the Ravens and Bengals rebound.

Cleveland Browns (8-12): Who’s the quarterback? How will the eventual QB’s protection look behind four new starters on the O-line? How will the defense compensate for the loss of Garner’s home from local department coordinator. An Schwartz’s experience and Be? How long will it take for all that young talent to coalesce? Is their enough Gatorade in the state of Ohio to hydrate a team forced to play its first two games in Florida?

AFC South

(1) Houston Texans (12-1): A team that customarily starts the 9th playoffs on a wild-road Saturday afternoon has never been able to break. But Texans have never even reached the AFC championship game. Could this be the year? Only the freshmen surrendered fewer points than a Houston defense that was ranked No. 1 overall in 2025. If a David Montgomery had backfault on take some of the pressure off QB C.J. Stroud, Houston could achieve the kind of complementary football that will make the Texans

awfully hard to beat. Four home games and a neutral side affair in London in the season’s first seven weeks could portend a strong start.

Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4): They’ve counting on far more production from CR/WB Team Hunter after what was largely a lost rookie season for the No. 2 pick of the 2025 draft. They’re banking on largely unproven. LB Ventrell Miller and Bill Bayshall Tobin to be worthy in-house replacements, respectively, for departed Lloyd and Ebrener, two critical contributors to last year’s change to the top of the AFC South. On the logistical side, ahead of their 2025”rality to Orlando amid Overhaul. Hualimic’s renovations, the days will only play six times in Jacksonville this season.

Tennessee Titans (8-6): Banished as head coaches in New York, now Robert Saleh and Brian Dabell will take charge of the defense and offensive, respectively, in the relative anonymity of Nashville. Saleh, the new head team, seems particularly eager to learn from his past members with the 10th, – while finally enjoying the presence of a young franchise quarterback, assuming Gary Ward can better fill that bill in your two. Fun note: “For Titans will enjoy at least a 2-1 start if they can beat the Jets and Gaiters in the first three weeks. Regardless, doubling their 2025 win total seems quite feasible given the influx of veterans and cookies like you,” Ward sure to benefit from new WIG West/Nobu Better and Cunhill Tate, the No. 4 pick of the draft.

Indianapolis Cubs (3-12): Not only does the roster of a team that imploded in the second half of 2025 seem diminished, QB Daniel Jones and WB Alec Pierce – they commanded the bulk of this year’s free agent (retinvestment – are on the comeback from major injuries, with Pierce (ankle) not practicing

But RB Jonathan Taylor just received a two-year, $44 million extension.

AFC West

(2) Denver Browns (12-3): They’ve gotten incrementally better in each of their three years under head coach team payouts each, expanding the Chiefs from what seemed like their divisional faithsighted year before men’s next-breaking close to the Super Bowl. With most of the starters back and QB Re-Nu healthy again after breaking his ankle in the playoffs, it remains to be seen if one play—after Dave Webb and WB Jaylen Waddle can fully unlock an attack that ranked 14th in points scored last season.

(3) Kansas City Chiefs (11-6): The last time they invested so much draft capital into the defense was 2022, and it immediately returned a Lombardi Trophy. Could each lightning strike twice? Coordinator Steve Spagh, head of the time to get the defensive wings, including a revamping incredibly right. The arrival of Walter, who should incorporate a long-dressed ground game, gives E.T. four Super Bowl MVPs to its backfield. Walter could also be called to provide some cover to QB Patrick Mahomes early in the season as he gets his legs, particularly the surgically repaired left one, back under him. During these completed teams from last season before Week 1, her might provide an ideal break-in period for Mahomes after his new teammates – and maybe the movement to get a muesly battle-tested team back on its dynamic track.

Los Angeles Chargers (9-8): A team that’s been good enough to make the playoffs under coach Jim Darbaugh is still in search of a Super Bowl breakthrough, and a pretension victory generally. Keeping key players healthy,

seemingly always a challenge in these parts, would be a start. But the Bills will also be employing two new coordinaries, including offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel – one of the most fascinating lines of the offseason. How this offense looks under his direction – and whether he’ll run the ball frequently enough to satisfy Darbaugh’s – remains to be seen, but the prospects are compelling. Bob Bilbeling, a two-game homeward against the Spaghett and Raiders to start the season, this schedule is something of a murderer’s row with scant relief.

Los Vegas Raiders (3-14): It will likely be a tale of two seasons – the one during which No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza rides the bench, and the one when he’s in the lineup. Presumably, Neither is likely to be pretty, but at least one chapter will be worth watching.

Protect College Sports Act punts to 9/14

John Blice

USA TODAY

No vote.

After securing the late July support of the Big Ten and SEC, as well as cloture filed by Senate Security Leader John Thune on Aug. 5, the Protect College Sports Act did not receive a vote on the Senate floor prior to the congressional recess.

The Senate worked into the morning hours of Aug. 6 before it adjourned for its scheduled recess. The group does not return to Washington until Sept. 14.

The Protect College Sports Act is an opportunity to preserve one of America's greatest traditional college sports," Sen. Ted Cruz, a bill co-sponsor and chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. "My colleagues and I have worked hard to end the chaos that

is causing schools to cancel Olympic and women's sports, programs to fall behind, and fans to pull out their hair in frustration. Our work is not over."

The good news is that when the Senate returns in September, the Protect College Sports Act will be one of our first orders of business, having locked in a vote. We will get the bill to President Trump's desk and deliver results for hundreds of thousands of student athletes and bring stability to college athletics."

Also co-sponsored by Senators Mark Cantwell, Eric Schmitt and Chris Coons, the Protect College Sports Act had faced significant headwinds throughout the summer.

Until the public support of the Big Ten and SEC, college athletics' top two conferences, the Protect Act was not expected to receive cloture from Thune despite its bipartisan origination and a

29-9 advance decision through the Senate Commerce Committee.

The 2ft page tell was drafted to address issues that have pervaded college sports at its highest levels this decade: conference expansion, name, image and theories (MIL), revenue-sharing, student-athlete transfers and coaching transitions all were among its most notable inclusions.

The bill continued language that provided participating schools to spend $45 million on revenue-share funding, direct to student-athletes plus an additional $5 million in rev-share for women's and Olympic, non-revenue sports.

On Aug. 7, during the Senate session, multiple amendments were filed to the bill and deliberations stalled as the dem was scrutinized on both sides of the aisle.

"Time may have run out to protect college sports in August but there is

plenty of cash in September," Cantwell said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. "It's plus Senate Thune set a date certain in September to bring it up because the challenges facing student athletes and universities aren't going away."

Since Senate resumes in September, the bill must garner at least 60 votes to be passed through that chamber and on to the House, passage there would result in the bill's arrival in front of President Donald Trump, who already has vowed his punts to support of the Protect College Sports Act.

The Protect College Sports Act provides stability and gives fast-ever federal NIL rights and scholarship and healthcare protections for athletes," Cantwell said. "And this bipartisan bill is how we protect women's and Olympic sports. I look forward to its passage in September."

Needs his nickelback for closure on college terms

Blake Toppemeyer Columnist USA TODAY NETWORK

There comes a time in a man's life when he must identify the bills on which he's willing to die.

I arrived at such a grassy knell many years ago where college football coaches, led by Nick Saban, began rebranding the nickelback position as the "STAR" position.

I refused to get swept up in this trendy twist. I would not allow myself to ditch a perfectly good piece of vocabulary, and certainly not in favor of a hip team that had to be spoiled in all-caps. Anyway, nickelback makes sense. Five votes in a nickel, and the nickelback is the fifth defensive back. So, voila, nickelback. Beautiful.

Other sportswriters get caught up in the craze and attend referring to a nickelback as the "STAR," so as to be part of the zeitgeist and co-opt Saban's language. Not me. I fought the good fight and continued referring to the fifth defensive back as the nickelback.

Not all heroes wear capes, right? Editors know better than to swap nickelback for STAR in my stories, lest they incur my weak.

I understand the mythology behind STAR – the points in a star – but why how an effective word like nickelback into the language dustbin, where it would join other still useful but scarcely used terms like penultimate, thrice

and cont'd Taylor Swift rescued its fortnight? Oh, how tickled I'd be to have someone say they'll see me in a fortnight, or on the penultimate weekend of the month, when we'll have thrice as much fun as the last time we got together.

Anyway, Saban's retired now, and he joined the media, and I'm still typing nickelback in my columns, so maybe I successfully defended that bill.

Now, for another. Bears yourself. Today will be the one and only time I use the word cloture in a sports column. I'm not familiar with the word.

You're not familiar with the word. When I type cloture into a Microsoft Word file, I'm alerted by Word that I've misspelled closure.

That's what I initially thought, too, when I read a sports headline this summer discussing whether a college sports bill being debated on Capitol Hill would advance to cloture.

Later, I learned it's not a misspelling. Cloture is a word, and the 12 people who watch C-SPAN probably could define what it means.

I don't watch C-SPAN, so I consulted a dictionary.

A dictionary, kids, is a big book

people used to learn the meanings of words, before AI search summaries started to plagiarize the effects of humans at a patchy rate of accuracy.

Basically, cloture means the formal legislative act of ending debate on a bill so it can proceed to a vote.

Why not just say. He called for a vote on the bill? Well, because they've got to sound officious.

Sen. John Thune, B-South Dakota, on Aug. 5 filed cloture on the Protect College Sports Act. Thanks to this move of cloture, the bipartisan bill that would institute federal regulations of college athletics can be put to a vote. If I need 60 votes to advance out of the Senate. Then, if I will pass by pass to the House, before being signed into law by President Donald Trump.

Will the bill become law? I could offer a game, but you'd do just as well: reasoning a shape of law.

I could tell you more about the bill, or I could research the etymology of cloture, but I'm just not sure you care all that much about cloture.

Big Government might be coming to college sports, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or use the vocals of Big Government.

So, I vow to make this the final time I type cloture.

Now, what wasn't you wanted to know about your team's nickelback? You can watch him yourself, after the season starts in just a couple of fortnights.

No suspension: WNBA rescinds Clark's latest technical foul

Mitchell Northam USA TODAY

Caitlin Clark picked up her eighth technical foul of the WNBA season on Aug. 8 as the Indiana Fever defeated the Chicago Sky 90-86.

However, Clark will not be suspended as the technical foul has been rescinded, a person with direct knowledge of the situation in the league office told USA TODAY Sports.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak publicly about the technical or the process involved in resending it.

Clark received the technical with 1:06 remaining in the third quarter of the game in Chicago. While driving along the baseline, Clark seemingly lost handle of the ball after Chicago guard Natasha Cloud bumped her under the basket.

Cloud wasn't whistled for a foul, but

the contact sent Clark out of bounds and she stumbled into a nearby official. The referee then issued Clark a technical for making contact with an official.

According to Fever head coach Stephanie White, officials said Clark "intentionally sought out the official and threw the forearm." White called it a

"really bad" call and said Clark's contact was "incidental."

"(The official) said I run into her," Clark said during her postgame interview. "I've already watched it on the tape, so we'll let the league decide, but it wasn't intentional or anything. So I'm hoping it's getting rescinded."

WNBA rules state that a player or coach is automatically suspended for one game after receiving their eighth technical foul during the regular season. Every technical after that comes with a $1,500 fine, and every other technical received during the regular season will result in an additional one-game suspension.

If the foul hadn't been rescinded, Clark would have been addicted for the Fever's game on Aug. 3 against the New York Liberty. Instead, Clark, coming off a performance of 26 points and 8 assists against the Sky, will be on the court as the Fever aim to win back-to-back games.

Padres won't apologize for trying to win

Aria Nightsangala Columbia USA TODAY

PHOENIX - Come on, you weren't really fooled, were you?

Did you actually believe those rumors that the San Diego Padres were going to trade All-Star closer Mason Miller?

The trade folks with the New York Yankees about Miller and setup state Adrian Marquis?

The speculation they would be packaging Miller to drop one of their star players with a bloated contract?

Or the wild actions they would just completely give up at the trade deadline and or her nature's self-off for prospect's?

Please The Padres and A.J. Pedler, their president of baseball operations, don't operate that way.

The Padres are in, pushing their chips into the middle of the table, no matter what the cost.

Remember when owner Peter Snidler was alive? He was holding on everyone from Tera Turner to Aaron Judge, jumping in and offering Judge a 10-year, $400 million contract at the last minute, even though they already had a right fielder in Juan Soto, who they intended to keep.

The payroll was slashed when Snidler died, going from $250 million in 2023 to $175 million for following season and now $281 million, but it didn't slow down. Pedler's aggressiveness, who draws off occasionally at night, just long enough to charge his cell phone.

So the Padres, hovering around 500 at the trade deadline, went shopping while other wild-card contenders facing the same odds out. Why by Pedler brought 2023 Cy Young winner Robbie Ray and All-Star leaders every May to the San Diego party.

Alon, the two-time don't have a shot to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers. They are in a fight for their lives just to knock off the Arizona Diamondbacks at Philadelphia Phillies in the wild-card race. Still, no matter the odds, no matter their offensive struggles, no matter their flawed

starting rotation, they went all-in.

Once again.

"We're trying to win," says Pedler. "We don't apologize for it. We're trying to win championships. We're trying to get to the postseason and do it your after year."

Certainly, they've become October regulars. The Padres have reached the postseason four times in the last six years but have got to reach the World Series since 1998 and are still searching for their first title in the 57-year history of the franchise.

The way they see it, if they can survive going with just two traditional starters for weeks, Fernando Yatis Jr. going two months until hitting his first home; Marqu Macchole's batting average was thinking about. 2024 until July, second baseman Jake Cronenworth out two months with a concussion, and center fielder Jackson Merrill hitting 229 with a 420-109 the first half, anything is possible.

"We're definitely in a much better spot than we were," Padres stunts Michael King tells USA TODAY Sports. "We went through a stretch whose it was just Walker (Buebler) and I that were even throwing bulging on in between starts. No one else could because just about every day was a bulging game."

The crazy part is that it worked, even with Randy Vaneput last week becoming the only starter besides King to pitch six innings in a game since June 3.

"Those guys dominated," King says. "There were some games that I was like. This is under right now because teams weren't seeing the same guy twice, and then they'd see the A game at the back end of games. (Jeremiah) Estrada comes in throwing 98. (Adonald Thompson) is throwing Mason (Miller) comes in throwing 101.

"It was a beautiful thing." Now, the Padres can go with the conventional approach, having King, Ray, Mike, Vaneput and Buebler as their starting five, with perhaps Joe Muegner and Nick Peverly joining them in late August or early September, making them a legitimate threat.

Give the Padres a lead after six innings, and the game is over.

"The officers is coming around, the rotation is rounding out, and the

The Padres' cake Cronenworth celebrates after hitting a walk-off single in the ninth-strong dog, I against the Giants. DINE FORTHOMAN MAGIS

bulgers is our strength," Pedler says. "so it's kind of the way we set it up at the beginning of the year. Just getting here has been a lot of a challenge, but hopefully we're in a spot now where we have a chance to finish strong."

They wouldn't be the Padres if their path to October was smooth. Many guys up a career-high right earned runs in his Padres debut. Ray, who had yielded a 1.09 ERA in his last eight starts, followed up by giving up four earned runs and allowing 12 base runners in five innings in his debut. So much for making great first impressions.

Still, there's no panic, and if you ask the Padres to be sure, they're motivated more than ever to reward the best office for their faith. If Pedler and the incoming new ownership believes in them enough to add payroll a day for it at the deadline, why not confirm their beliefs?

"This group has been together for six years," Pedler said. "They've been through a lot of personal races. They've been through a lot of these trade deadlines. So I think they understand that an an organization, if we're in it, we feel like we have a good team, we're going to try to do what we can to supplement our club.

"I think they expect that, and I think they appreciate playing for an organization that's trying to win."

So go ahead, let the Tigers, who are

still in the American League Central race, contender and dump two-time Cy Young winner Tunk Skokie and Miss Let the Washington Nationals, Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds how out of the 50, wild card race by their actions at the trade deadline.

The Padres, no matter how poor their odds are of surviving (32.3% according to Telegraph), simply won't built that way.

If they have a shot, they're going to take it.

"We felt good coming into the year," Tatis said. "Not we struggled. We had injuries. We had a lot of things go wrong. But they didn't give up on us."

Now, here we are, I'll take my chances with this team."

Jays Padres manager Craig Stammen. "We had to fight through a lot times. We went through a tough stretch. We went through a cut-off-points. That tailed into a bright-game! losing streak. But we just continued to fight. And since I'm, we've played pretty good enough. We're probably playing our best right now."

Will it be good enough?

Well yes.

Basilistically, there are three teams battling for the final two wild-card berths: the Phillies, Diamondbacks and Padres.

It's hard to imagine the Phillies won't be a playoff team, leaving the Padres and D-backs fighting it out for the final spot. The season concludes with the D-backs and the D-backs' team. After 10 in a three-game series at Petro Park, with the two teams tied in their season series.

And when they most agree, the Padres will have new ownership in place, with Joel E. Poliziano and with Reanza Jones expected to be officially approved by their fellow owners within two weeks. They are purchasing 45% of the team with Poliziano Serviceing the new control person.

They'd love to be watching their new team play in the blue, too.

"We'll take our chances," Pedler says, against anyone.

They always do. Follow Bob Nightengale on X @Brightengals

Reds aiming to take care of their $105M ace

WASHINGTON - Chase Burns was on the runway, and deep down in his heart, Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona did not want to throw the towel.

The 50-signed, Francona the second and Burns, by far, is the best thing they've hedging all year. On this bag it evening, he was aiming to become the first Reds pitcher in 75 years to win 13 straight decisions.

Yet in a 54 game in the sixth inning, Burns misloated three fastballs that resulted in hits for the Washington Nationals, the major leagues' highest-scoring offense this season. After a walk and strikeout, Burns needed just one more out to escape with a one-run defeat.

The 50-signed, Francona stewed. And signed. And Wicked Sam Wall, who would give up a two-run, game headling double to pinch-hitter Andres Chapman. The Reds would lose competitive games for the first time since July 8.

Yet the 9-2 defeat at Nationals Park created a win of a different sort. Burns got one start closer to the finish line of his first full season, one in which he hardly takes a back seat to Jacob Misionowski or Chris Aiko or any of the National League pitchers having Cy Young called reasons.

The birth of the ace is nearly complete. Even if setbacks are inevitable along the way.

The hope was here a nice, good inning, get him through six, tie game, go to our hollywood, said Francona, nominating on the decisive sixth inning, which Burns outended 17 pitchers and a 2-2 to. "And if just ended up being a long inning and he couldn't get through it. A call I got uncomfortable. That's my biggest concern with their right now, at the end of becoming, trying to reach back for more when he's near 100. That's, to me, where it starts to."

Francona paused momentarily, the pitfalls of growing, and remaining a young starting pitcher seemingly caught up in that brief silence.

"Starts to get a little off; I actually think he could've got out of it. I always feel like that with him. It's just, there's

Reds pitcher Chase Burns ranks third in the National League with a 2.01 ERA, nine on a two-run event.

more to balance than the sixth inning of today's game. And that's a responsible 83.7-lake very serious."

For so many reasons.

'He's the aggressor'

It took Burns exactly a year from his June 25, 2025, major league debut to earn a berth to the All-Star Game. And in the days after catching elbows with the game's side, his life would change in a far more drastic fashion.

The 50-signed, Francona, 9-0, is never, year, $805 million contract extension. July 16 a significant bag both for pitcher and franchise, the Reds committing new figures to a night hauder with just a year under his belt.

But uh, what a year.

Even after his loss, Burns ranks third in the 50, with a 2.61 ERA, and this 13-2 record leads 63, starters in both wins and winning percentage. Running Saturday he had gone 12-0 over 27 starts and allowed two or fewer runs in 17 of his 22 starts, tied for most in the major.

The gaudy statistics come wrapped in what's largely a two pitch package, a fastball that averages 977 mph and a slide for loose on to put letters away or induce weak contact. He will show a changing how and there, but his two more emailing offerings largely comprise the 32% world rate, making in the 92nd percentile in the majors.

It's very impressive, and easy enough to get lost in the base of what The Miz is doing up in Milwaukee, or what Paul Skerne pulled off his first two seasons in Pittsburgh, winning the debut of the Year and then the 2025 Cy Young Award.

Perhaps not the long. "People underestimate Chase a little bit," Reds witness catches June Terremoto's USA TODAY Sports. "This didn't be prepared. This didn't be very strong, pulled, strong-minded. No in the aggressor. He's ready to go at all times."

It is all that and more than what the Reds expected when they drafted Burns second overall out of Wake Forest in 2024, a draft in which the top 35 may rank among the most valuable downplay picks ever.

His 2025 hughism was predictably uneven, striking out eight Yankees in five innings of his big-league debut, then recording just one out against the Red Sea in his second start. He made six starts and then worked out of the ballpen to keep his innings count low, producing a 4-57 ERA.

A solid base to grow on, albeit over just 60 innings between Chey and three minor league levels. The goal this year: go pole to spot in the big leagues.

"It's been a great. But I'm loving, I'm Burns talks USA TODAY Sports. 'I'm loving the growth and process. I'm at the most busing I've ever thrown. I'm feeling good. I'm excited how far I've come and how far this team's come."

After Saturday's start, Burns is at 124 innings this season, 24 more than he threw in his junior season at Wake Forest. The Reds, though, have been very thoughtful, is deploying him.

He has worked on the standard four days next in just seven of his 22 starts. He's received five days' rest before nine of them and no or more six times.

The Reds used the All-Star break to give him 15 days between starts, and he responded by giving up just two earned runs over his next three innings.

"We want to get him to a certain point," Francona said. "You don't want to go into next year through, we need to slow play this. 'There's common sense involved, but I think he's doing that."

"You can't expect someone who hasn't done something down. But he's a very intelligent, very thoughtful kid. He's aware of where he is. He asks good questions."

Dipping deeper

There remains no formula for how to best handle young pitchers. Every arm is different, and even the industry's well-established best practices can't produce healthy, lot alone ideal, outcomes.

Burns was the Reds' highest draft pick since 2007, when they used the No. 2 overall pick on two-way prep or reverse format. Gave the best the pitching route, and the Reds took great care to limit his innings and build him up as best as possible.

Yet two years later, Greene had Tommy John surgery as a minor leaguer. He did the least work of getting back to the majors, made the 2023 All-Star team and signed a $53.5 million extension.

So little is guaranteed, though, Pedler, Reds proved stronger. Nick Kroll announced Greene would have elbow surgery possibly this week, perhaps a second Tommy John promise but at least, odds are, an internal brace procedure.

Greene likely won't figure in the rotation plans until 2026. It is Burns, then, who is the undesirable ace and whose competitive spirit evokes how from his teammates and that concerns from Francona he may try to do too much.

"Like any ace in the big leagues, a runner gets on, we're trying to win this game, he digs the spikes in a little bit deeper into the ground and gets going," says Terremoto. "He leaves the important thing is winning. And he doesn't like to give up one."

Good thing he doesn't give up many, then. While the Reds are among nine teams within five games of an 50, playoff berth, the focus figures to lean more toward 2027 with each week. If all goes well, Burns will enter their campaign as their undisputed act, with few if any in-ninge limits.

And a sense of security that can only come when a club-commute's significant sum to be - and Charles - filters.

"I'm super thankful for the Reds and the organization and the front office to have faith and confidence in me to see me here long-term," says Burns. "It takes a lot of pressure off me with the money and the other variables."

Just being able to forget all the other stuff and build roots here and be a great leader for this team."

MOLLY RINGWALD

Molly Ringwald wasn't fond of her time on 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager.' While playing a rating game during a recent appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,' the 'Breakfast Club' star, 58, revealed that the ABC Family series was the 'worst' experience of her career and gave the show a 'out of 10'. Although she clarified that she 'loved the cast,' including Shailene Woodley, who played her daughter, she worked with a particular person who 'sees really difficult' and 'brought it down to a one.' She did not name the person. The teen drama ran from 2008 to 2013.

Greta Lee, 43, reflects on her 'late fame' in Hollywood

Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

It's not every weekend you get your own double feature. That's why Greta Lee's parents are planning to host a watch party to celebrate her two new summer movies: twisty creature feature. 'The Last House' (streaming now on Netflix) and wry art dramedy 'Late Fame' (in select theaters now). 'It should make for an interesting night for them,' quips Lee, 43, who's still puzzling over what exactly to dub her twin bill ('The Last Fame?' 'Late House?'). Jokes aside, it's a meaningful milestone for the Korean-American actress, who was a TV mainstay for more than 15 years before her Golden Globe-nominated breakthrough in 2023's 'Past Lives.'

Since then, the 'Russian Doll' star has toplined films including 'Tron: Axe!' and 'House of Dynamite,' and lent her voice to the misunderstood tablet Lillyool in 'Toy Story 5.'

'I'm so amazed I get to do this,' Lee says. 'As the title 'Late Fame' suggests, I've experienced my own type of late fame. So getting to work in movies is something I don't take for granted.'

Being stuck indoors is not for her

'The Last House' is an M. Night ślipańsian-style thriller about parents Ann (Lee) and Jason (Wagner-Mouns), who on a seemingly ordinary day are trapped inside their home with their two kids and no way of getting out. Days tick by with their doors and

windows shut fast, and they quickly discover all their neighbors are sealed in their houses as well.

'I'd get hungry and low blood sugar in - I don't know - an hour?' Lee says with a laugh. 'We talked to actual survivalists, who were teaching us all the methodology behind surviving, and it's unreal. I was like, 'I am ill-equipped! I'm an actor, I should stay in that zone.'

The family does the best they can to investigate the otherworldly forces keeping them inside. But they also take time out for movie nights, impromptu haircuts and exercise - the latter of which would not be on Lee's agenda.

Bear Grylls ate a deer tongue on new show

Erin Jensen USA TODAY

No red carpets unfurlod as the stars and creator of 'The Chosen' joined Bear Grylls for a new adventure series.

In 'The Chosen in the Wild With Bear Grylls' the famous survivalist guides action Jonathan Roumie (Jason), Luke Dimyan (Sailan), Noah James (Andrew), Fuzsa Patel (Matthew), Elizabeth Talrish (Mary Magdalen) and showrunner Dallas Jenkins through challenging American landscapes, including Castle Valley and Canyonlands in Utah and The Great Basin Desert. All six episodes, each featuring one guest, are now streaming on Prime Video: Season 6 of 'The Chosen,' depicting the Crucifixion, will premiere on the platform Nov. 15.

'It had been a life dream to do one with Jesus, and I guess this is about as close as I'm ever going to get,' Grylls tells USA TODAY of the episode with Roumie.

Grylls, who wrote last year's 'The Greatest Story Ever Told,' an account of the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus, relies on his faith daily.

'It helps me in the small moments, in the big moments,' he says. Grylls remembers he talked to God as he plummeted thousands of feet in a skydiving accident in 1996 when his parachute failed to deploy. He broke these vertebrae in the fall.

'The Chosen' star Jonathan Roumie ventures into the unknown on 'The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls' (streaming week) on social services

'To be honest, there were some expletives coming out as well,' Grylls, 52, jokes. 'But there were plenty of dark moments in the hospital afterwards of praying, and - that spirit of needing something beyond myself has never left me, and my faith has never let me down.'

Roumie, for his part, thanks Jesus before landing in the Adirondacks after jumping out of a helicopter at 20,000 feet. Nothing was off limits for 'The Chosen in the Wild,' Grylls says.

'There wasn't an actor from 'The Chosen' who at the end of this didn't say, 'That was one of the hardest days of my life,' and I love that,' Grylls says. 'That's what the stars do.'

'We never pick the easy route,' he says with a chuckle. 'We're always crossing rivers and climbing up cavities. We make the routes dynamic and exciting and challenging, and that's part of it. But then there's time to sit down and cook up a snake, or whatever it is, round a campfire and talk about life and talk about their journey and their faith.'

As in customary on Grylls shows, guests dine on animals found during their escapades - such far less appetizing than leaves of bread or fish. Talrish and Grylls split a lifeless turestella. James found removing a locust's head and legs before ingesting it to be 'a little serial-killer like.' Roumie crunches down a beetle he initially thought might be fake. But another Grylls delicacy proves brighter to swallow. While walking in the forest, he and Roumie happen upon a ravaged dead deer. Grylls cuts off the animals' tongue with a knife and boils it over a campfire.

'A tongue is like one of the last bits of a can and that's going to rot. Because it's all protected in the skull,' Grylls

'80s rock star bares his addiction recovery

Melissa Ruggieri

USA TODAY

Roland Orzabal never wanted to write a memoir. Orzabal stood astrology, not. But digging into the fluctuating tenure of Tears for Fears, the sorrow in watching his wife slip away and revisiting his Ambien addiction? Not really at the top of his to-do list.

So Orzabal, 64, pleated his agent, wrote a few introductory chapters and realized he could integrate his deep knowledge of astrology into the story of his life as the cofounder, guitarist and co-singer/songwriter in one of the most quietly consequential bands birthed in the '80s.

The resulting 'Welcome to Your Life: Love, Death and Tears for Fears' (Stappe/Gallus, 288 pp. out now) bears the tagline 'In Astrological Memoir' as testament to Orzabal's understanding of the world.

'I can't look at life, or the chemistry between people, or the energies we are made from, or the qualities we're made from without using the astrological model,' Orzabal, bequeathed with grayed hair neatly pulled back, says on a video call from New England. 'I could have written a 'memoir, but it would have been absolutely lacking in depth. Even in suffering, there is understanding. I mean, I wouldn't know how not to live (the way). So yeah, I wanted to write a book on astrology because most of the books I read, they're all kind of menu books like 'Right, yeah, come on.'

How Roland Orzabal integrates astrology into his memoir

In 2014, Orzabal's debut novel, 'Sex, Drugs & Opera,' arrived. Its storyline about a middle-aged pop star who tries to reinveste his career and marriage by joining a reality show stemmed from real life, though Orzabal turned down the TV offer extended to him in 2010.

But 'Welcome to Your Life' - which music fans will instantly recognize as the first line of TV's breakthrough hit, 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' - is devoid of ram-com inacity.

Instead, it's packed with vivid anecdotes about the 'fandess, confident' Curt Smith, his childhood friend in Bath, England, whose musical meshing with Orzabal 'Tell Me the missing piece of a jigsaw,' he writes. The pair formed Tears for Fears as teens after stints in other local bands and eventually sold more than 30 million albums worldwide on the strength of songs both sumptuous and confessed, such as 'Shout' and 'Mad World.'

Orzabal's very humor surfaces throughout is running joke about The Beatles and crossing paths with Paul McCarthy's (a particularly amusing), and most stories are spiked with astrological explanations.

An early chapter shows into how the movements of Pluto are connected, along with its representation of fate and impact as the astrological planet of birth, death and rebirth.

These elucidations are not only fascinating but

AN ASTROLOGICAL MEMOIR WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE

LOVE, DEATH and TEARS FOR FEARS

Tears for Fears singer Roland Orzabal defies into addiction, loss and astrology in his memoir, 'Welcome to Your Life,' out now. #COVID-19 #ASTROLOGLINE

wholly original as far as rock star memoirs go.

Roland Orzabal says wife's death deepened hand with Curt Smith

Before he got to his place of being happily remarried with a 19-month-old daughter joining his adult sons Raoul and Pascal, Orzabal endured plenty of personal anguish.

'Some of (the book), when I was writing it, I was in tears,' he says. 'A lot of the time we kind of push things toward the back. But when you're writing it, you're confronted with some of the ugliness. Gret is a well, and I think in your life you can replace the ugliness with beauty. But that ugliness is not ever really going to go away.'

Though TVF fans were aware of the slow decline of Orzabal's wife, Caroline Johnston, who died in 2007 at age 54 of alcohol-related cirrhosis and dementia, the book illuminates not only her struggles but also the

ending emotional toll on Orzabal.

Her loss, however, spurred a deeper bond between Orzabal and Smith, as the pair had periods of drifting apart throughout the decades.

'There was a healing of that relationship between me and Curt after Caroline's death, no doubt. I think my new wife, Emily, has really helped that because she's a nice person. I would say Caroline was happy to be antagonistic,' Orzabal says with a food smile. 'But Curt became that rock, a solid partner. And I've told him to be face and as smash that he's been excellent.'

Even with the intricate details of Caroline's deterioration, Orzabal acknowledged he continued some of the revelations.

'Let's put it this way: I could have made it worse. I could have written more ugliness, but she's my sons' mother, so I had to be gentle with my language. I don't throw her under the has because she's no longer here, but because most of her life she was incredible.'

Roland Orzabal discloses his addiction for the first time

When it comes to his self-reflections, however, Orzabal is unsigning. His penchant for downing bottles of wine throughout his life seemed reasonable. But as increasing dependence on Ambien, and steady increases in dosages, led him to the brink of death in 2018.

Blackouts and seizures, tremors that became full-body shakes, stinking chest pains. Orzabal credits the quick reactions of Emily. He gets tired at the time, for getting him to the hospital and saving his life.

Though the outlining of his hellish spiral arrives late in the book, Orzabal says it was the fourth chapter he wrote as a text to see if he could produce a memoir.

The 'ugly story,' as he calls it in our interview, is the first time he disclosed the severity of his addiction.

'Most people don't know it. Even my family don't know,' he says. 'I mean, they know something. They know I had seizures. But it was scary stuff.'

Why the music of Tears for Fears still resonates

Orzabal says he has recently recorded nine new music tracks, but there are no plans for a Tears for Fears album anytime soon. 'Gret is taking a break from making music,' Orzabal said without elaborating.

Though Orzabal has a couple of songs 'on the go,' he's taking a wait-and-see approach right now.

He's pleased, though, that no recent TVF tears, the audience has been a mix of if dislovers from the band's '80s and '90s hitmaking journals and younger fans.

'There was a period of darkness in the '80s, and what I think younger people are finding through streaming to music to make songs that have a little bit more meaning,' Orzabal says. 'They're a bit darker and they can truly express what is going on inside them. Whereas the multibillion-welling pop machine, it doesn't want to provide it.'

those valuable calories?' she says with playful disgust. 'I'd like to think I'd be doing all sorts of crafts. How cool would it be if I got really into ceramics or acetone? But that's what cool about the film. It forces you to think about your own habits and what you would become in my situation.'

The movie couldn't be more different from 'Late Fame,' which follows a fictional, long-forgotten post-named Ed Sandeegre (Willem Barker), who learns his work has been reevaluated and embraced by a group of young bohemian. One of his fans is the enigmatic Gloria Lee's chant-hunting actress and cabaret singer who keeps for the glamorous old days of New York parties and culture.

Before filming in Manhattan, 'I got a walking tour of Soho from William, who was penitling at every building and talking about what he used to live, whatever argument he was in over there, and who was dating who knew I saw says. 'My heart aches hearing things like that because so much is lost. I'm glad we got to do a movie that teaches us what happens to all the ghosts of our time.'

Lee is a Broadway veteran, who lists 'Miss Saigon' and 'A Do It's House' among her wish-list productions like moulded Gloria off theater giants including Lisa Mitchell, Heather Headley and Marlene Dietrich.

'Gloria is an homage to what I consider to be a capital-O-Blue,' Lee says. 'Women who, arguably, I don't know if we make 'em like that anymore.'

'Late Fame' director Ruth Jones was initially floured by the 'quiet and simplicity' Lee brought to 'Past Lives,' only to discover her quick wit and rich singing voice as he got to know her.

'She understood Gloria inside and out,' Jones says. 'She did something enormously difficult. She was

playing a character who was playing a character, and she did it so beautifully that every nuance was exciting. I mean, actors like Greta come along so rarely.'

'Toy Story S' unlocked a screen time hack

An avid home gardener who lives in Los Angeles, Lee has been missing her eggplants as she has traveled the world promoting her projects this summer, including Disney/Playin/Gallion-dollar hit 'Toy Story S.' After voicing the movie's ostensible villain, Lilyput, it's been surreal for Lee to encounter her character's visage out in the real world.

'Lily is living her best life all across the globe,' Lee says. 'I've seen her at the airport, on billboards, on buses - it's wild, but I'm so proud.'

Lee shares two sons, Apollo, 9, and Raphael, 4, with comedy writer husband Russ Armstrong. Beth kids have 'Toy Story' speech, although they're not ones to play with Lilyput toys. 'They're very attuned to the fact that 'Oh, that's Mine. We've got the real thing at home, so we don't need the other thing.'

Although, having their mom portray a literal iPad has made them more conscious about access time, 'All I have to do is just turn on the movie. She. Are you sure about that, kiddie? Let's remember the message of the movie.'

As Gloria remarks in 'Late Fame,' 'nothing will prepare you' for getting famous. But as Lee looks around at her life right now, she feels as though she has arrived just on time.

'The people who have always been with you are the people who matter. I don't think that's something I might have used recently. I felt like I had a very full life and I was fully formed in some way, before my career changed.'

'That lack of anonymity can be jarring if it happens suddenly, but I'm lucky that I have all these people around me who can keep me grounded - and put me in my place if I start acting crazy.'

sells USA TODAY. 'Generally, the animals are devouring all the soft organs, all the blood, all the innards pretty quick. But the bone marrow and what's inside the skull tends to last the longest. So the rest of it was a little stinky. I'm not going to lie, but the tongue was just on the turn. But we cooked it hard, and it was a bit chewy, but it was fine.'

For Grylls, the true spirit of the series shines in moments of intimate conversation.

'The power of Chosen in the Wild is you get to know these actors in a way you never would do just sitting on a chat show couch,' he says. 'You're not just getting a story. You're actually getting those heart and how playing this role has changed their life.'

In Tabish's episode, she opens up about being enveloped in hopelessness before being cast as Mary Magdalene and dealing with neck and back problems stemming from a pair of car accidents about a decade ago.

'I was numbing [my chronic pain] with drinking a lot, and there were days where I just didn't get out of bed,' she says. 'There's a depression that comes with it if you don't take care of it.'

Danyan shares that his acting ambitions made his darker nervous.

'He was like 'No, why said. Get a desk job. Find a 'day,' depressing cubicle and stop there. Get paid.' Danyan recalls in the episode.

'Safety is an illusion,' Grylls says telling the interview. 'The path less trodden leads to all the good places in life. If you want to achieve anything, you have to step out in faith. It's just the way life works.'

'And even for those that think. 'I'm going to play it safe and stay put,' it's actually not safe. You decay. Humans are designed for challenge and to move forward.'

Elizabeth Tabish speaks candidly to Bear Grylls about her struggles prior to joining the cast of 'The Chosen.' #COVID-19 #TEARS

Spiridakos utilizes her 'Chicago P.D.' skills

Bryan Alexander

USA TODAY

Starting as the titular Glacier National Park ranger in USA Network's 'Anna Pigeon,' actress Tracy Spiridakos required no additional training for a take-down and handcuffing scene set in the breathtaking Montana wilderness.

Spiridakos, 30, tapped into skills – and a TV-cuffing technique – ingrained over seven seasons as Detective Hailey Upton on NBC's 'Chicago P.D.'

'It's actually funny. I feel like most of us on 'P.D.' at least what I always did, I'd just hold the cuffs to the person's hands and be like, 'Hold on to these,' Spiridakos tells USA TODAY.

The time-honored trick, which prevents injury, came in handy with Anna Pigeon's arrest in Episode 1 (Friday, 10 p.m. ET/PT and streaming on Crave).

'I did a very similar thing when we shot in the park,' Spiridakos says. 'I was like I don't want to find your where. So I'll just fumble these around your hands and then you just hold them.'

Even if Anna Pigeon carries a gun with cuffs, as end life law enforcement rangers do, there's much more to the job and character than chasing down criminals. Playing the title heroine from Nevada that's best-selling 'Anna Pigeon' mystery novels, Spiridakos infuses a Nancy Drew-style ranger to former city slicker Pigeon, who is dropped into the 'Northern Signature' reaper national park and is a 'fierce.'

Executive-produced and directed by 'Back to the Future' star Les Thompson, the outdoor series is the kind of fresh-shot project that Spiridakos was seeking after the fan favorite left the gritty streets of 'Chicago P.D.' in 2024. Anna is a complicated character dealing with a mysterious trauma that has compiled a career change to become a ranger.

'She's dealing with grief, and yet there's humor on the show. It has a far lighter tone,' Spiridakos says. 'We find out more about this trauma, and it's still a procedural where we're solving a mystery every week.'

Shot entirely on location in the Canadian Rockies outside Calgary, Alberta,

work each day was an outdoor adventure. The TV ranger cabins, built specially for filming, were placed next to a circle with beautiful vistas.

'We would joke that if we could just install some plumbing into the park cabins, we'd all want to stay there,' says Spiridakos, who reluctantly commuted back to a Calgary hotel with plumbing. 'It was research beautiful out there.'

Along with working with quirky characters like young ranger postage Zoey Baer Child (Paulina Alexin), Anna speaks her ranger time improving the national park in small ways, including admonishing a careless park lifetour.

'That was our first day, first scene,' Spiridakos says. 'It says so much about Anna. It shows her assentees.'

The park ranger devotes energy into the park's bald eagle nest livestream-whislam that becomes an online viewing favorite. When the camera is vandalized, Anna climbs the towering tree to fix it, bringing her face-to-face with the nesting eagle. Spiridakos did the climbing and the end-life viewing of the trained eagle in separate takes.

'I had done some climbing before,

but never rappelling up a tree like that, pulling yourself up,' Spiridakos says. 'It was an incredible experience. The eagle was massive and beautiful. It was hard to believe how responsive it was to the handles.'

A different wildlife scene, in which Anna helps free a caged cougar, required a real cougar scene partner.

'It's a normal experience being so close to such an incredible animal,' says Spiridakos, who was never in the same frame as the big cat. 'The cougar had its moment, and then we shot me in my moment. We were never in each other's spaces. But Anna does have her way with wildlife.'

Spiridakos, partner Soffer love their new family member

The actress has a way with animals, too. After the 'heartbreaking' death of her 12-year companion, a Rottweiler named Nala, Spiridakos and her partner, former 'Chicago P.D.' star Jesse Lee Soffer, rescued a new Rottweiler named Cali.

'She's just amazing, the best part of my day,' Spiridakos says. 'I adore her, and Jesse loves her too.'

Spiridakos returned to 'One Chicago' for crossover

Both Soffer and Spiridakos returned to the 'One Chicago' universe for March's three-hour crossover event, with FBI Special Agent Hailey Upton throwing the cuffs on a key suspect in the central attack. The Chicago homecoming was gratifying.

'I was on the set for a couple of months. I love that character and I love that group of people,' Spiridakos says. 'It's like putting on an old hat and hanging out with old friends.'

But she's not looking for a permanent return, instead manifesting a Season 2 renewal for 'Anna Pigeon.' Season 1 covers only the first two books of D.

'We do have our 'Anna Pigeon' going on, so let's put that out there and get a second season. But I'd love to go play with the 'P.D.' people again sometime. I'd be down for that for sure.'

How to watch 'Anna Pigeon'

The 10-episode 'Anna Pigeon' airs Friday nights on USA Network starting Aug. 7-10 p.m. ET/PT while streaming on Crave through the Oct. 9 finale.

FASHION

Met Gala theme criticized

Margaret Evans USA TODAY

The 2027 Met Gala is slowly coming together – but not without controversy.

On July 31, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Vague announced that the Continue Institute's 2027 spring exhibition will be 'John Galliano: Horizon,' dedicated to the body of work of the British National Gallery of Art.

Galliano – who was recently tapped by Zara for a two-year creative partnership – has been known as one of the greatest fashion visionaries, with designs that became favorites among celebrity names including Nicole Kidman, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Celine Dion and even Princess Diana. His legacy lives on today through a new wave of Hollywood stars, such as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Margot Robbie, Bad Bunny and Zendaya, who recently were a colonial-patriot, spider-web-admired slip-style dress from John Galliano's spring/summer 1947 collection as part of her epic run of 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' press tour ensembles.

But in 2018, the designer was arrested for antisemitic and racist incidents, which is sparking backlash to his selection as the subject of the Met's exhibit and its accompanying gala. Here's everything you need to know about Galliano and the controversy.

Who is John Galliano?

Galliano is the genius behind creations such as the beloved Dior Saddle bag as well as cultural fashion moments such as Princess Diana's lace-embroidered slip dress that she wore to the 1996 Met Gala.

After receiving a degree in fashion design from the prestigious Central Saint Martins of the University of the Arts London in 1964, Galliano launched his namesubribe in London, before eventually moving to Paris.

His reputation grew, and in 1995, Galliano was named head designer at Givenchy. But it was only a year before he was named the new creative director for Dior. Galliano's tenure at Dior was considered peak fashion excellence, but it came to an abrupt halt following his firing in 2011 (more on that) before.

After a few years, the designer was

given another chance to shine as the creative director for Maison Margiela Collection after collection, Galliano rebuilt his reputation. For his final Margiela love, the designer left his mark with a dark but enchanting spring couture 2018 collection set in the underworld of 1930s Paris and featuring an exquisitely haunting porcelain doll-like runway show with glossy makeup by Fat McGrath and theatrical ensembles with sculptural silhouettes. Galliano's exaggerated corsetry and divine tailoring.

What is the controversy?

In 2011, the designer was arrested for antisemitic and racist incidents on two separate occasions. In one incident, which was captured on video, he professed his love for Hitler while drunk at a Paris bar. His actions led to his firing from Dior, and he was eventually convicted of committing two hate crimes, resulting in a fine from the Paris courts. Following the conviction, Galliano entered rehabilitation and remained out of the fashion spotlight for a few years before taking on a new role as creative director of Maison Margiela in 2014.

What were the reactions?

News of the 2027 Met exhibition elicited a range of reactions online. While some praised the theme, expressing excitement for the plethora of archival fashion possibilities for the upcoming Met Gala, others questioned why Galliano should receive this honor.

'The Met Gala theme has just been beloved. And this year instead of just being out of touch and tone deal, it's also racist and antisemitic,' one user posted on Threads.

Another Threads user wrote: 'Fashion's obsession with canonizing the same handful of designers will never cease to amaze me. Whether you believe Galliano has redeemed himself is almost beside the point. In an industry overflowing with extraordinary talent, craftsmanship, innovation, sustainability, and independent designers redefining fashion, this is who we're putting on one of the biggest pedestals?'

Legal battle likely for 'birth tourism' orders

WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Netanyahu rejects Trump's Gaza plan

Hamas says it remains committed to proposal

Steven Scheer and Nidal al-Maghrabi REUTERS

JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resisted his rejection of President Donald Trump's latest Gaza plan in televised remarks to his right-wing government on Aug. 9 even as Israel's military has effectively halted attacks in the territory under pressure from Trump.

Netanyahu is struggling in the polls as he seeks re-election at a vote due on Oct. 27 but is caught between far-right ministers angered by concessions in Gaza and his key military backer, Trump, who wants progress toward ending the conflict there with a new 11-point roadmap.

Israel has scaled back attacks in Gaza since Aug. 3, when Nikolay Mladenov, the Gaza envoy for Trump's board of Peace that oversees the ceasefire, met with Netanyahu.

A source familiar with Israel's position said it had agreed that the military would only act against what it perceives as immediate threats in Gaza and no longer carry out targeted assassinations as it had been doing on a nose-daily basis.

Mladenov said on Aug. 9 that discussions on the new roadmap were ongoing.

Trump announced in July that there had been a breakthrough in his plan to end the war, to which both Israel and Hamas agreed, with Israeli forces withdrawing as Hamas disaster and an International Stabilization Force working with a new Palestinian police force to secure the enclave.

But complications have swiftly emerged with questions over the plan's timeline. 'Israel does not accept the 15-point document,' Netanyahu said at the start of a meeting with cabinet ministers. The military 'will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed... it means heavy weaponry, lighter weaponry, all weaponry.'

Netanyahu made similar remarks in a social media post on Aug. 4, and Israeli officials have said reservations

Trump issued two directives after Supreme Court citizenship ruling

Andrew Chung (KUTER)

When the Supreme Court in June ruled in favor of Israeli citizenship rights for babies born in the United States, one of the most conservative justices complained that the decision was so sweeping it would even cover so-called birth tourists.

Women 'who come here solely for the purpose of giving birth' would be able to get automatic citizenship for their children, Samuel Alito wrote, dissenting from the 6-3 ruling that invalidated President Donald Trump's first attempt to curtail U.S. birthright citizenship.

Undeterred by the court's ruling, Trump tried again on Aug. 6, signing two executive orders largely aimed at birth tourism. That part of Trump's action,

which is certain to face legal challenges, is likely doomed, legal experts said. It targets a category of people that legal experts said the Supreme Court already addressed.

'These children are citizens based on their birth on U.S. soil,' said University of Virginia law professor Amanda Frost, who studies birthright citizenship. 'Illegal conduct by their parent can have no bearing on their status.'

Trump has for years threatened to tighten birthright citizenship as part of his restrictive immigration agenda. On the first day of his second term in January 2025, Trump issued a sweeping order that targeted immigrants in the country illegally or even temporarily on a

Poll: Majority favor stronger social media oversight

85% say sites can be addictive for children

Jason Lange and Courtney Bozen KUTERS

WASHINGTON - A bipartisan majority of Americans support more government rules for how social media companies conduct business, including a requirement of age verification tools to keep younger children off social media, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The poll, which was conducted over the six days ending Aug. 3, comes as companies like Meta Platforms and Google's YouTube face mounting legal pressure over their treatment of young users.

A trial is expected to begin on Aug. 12 over allegations by state prosecutors that Meta designed its products to addict young users. Meta, which denies the allegations, says it could face up to $4.4 billion in penalties if the states prevail.

A New Mexico state court on Aug. 6

separately ordered Meta to pay $567 million into a teen mental health fund and change how its platforms function for young users, after finding the company is to blame for harming children's wellbeing.

Tech companies are also under increasing scrutiny by lawmakers across the United States for their effect on youth. More than a dozen states have passed laws regulating minors' social media access, saying it is needed to bolster their safety online. NetChoice, a trade group backed by social media gi-

ants such as Meta, TikTok and Snap, has sued to stop laws requiring apps verify the ages of their users. It argues such laws violate free speech protections.

Some 68% of poll respondents - including 71% of Democrats and 62% of Republicans - said social media companies need firmer oversight. Support among independents was lower, as many of them said they were unsure where they stood.

BEIJING – Typhoon Dolphin, the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit China this year, made landfall on the country's eastern coast on Aug. 9, bringing torrential rain and strong winds and triggering warnings of flooding and landslides.

The typhoon has already swept through Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture, missing six people and cutting power to more than 10,000 buildings.

Typhoon Dolphin made landfall near Yohsun in eastern Zhejiang province at about 5.5% p.m. local time Aug. 9. China's meteorological authorities said. The stress packed maximum sustained winds of nearly 94 mph near its center at landfall, equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane on the Naffin Sturgeon water.

Authorities had moved offshore workers to safety, ordered vessels back to port and increased shocks at reservoirs, mountain streams, landslide-prone areas, construction sites and coastal locations.

Torrential rain for forecast through Aug. 10 across Zhejiang, Shanghai, northern Fujian, northwestern Jiangxi, central and southern Anhui, and much of Jiangsu, from of central and eastern Zhejiang could receive 9.8-19.7 inches of rain, according to forecasters.

After landfall, Dolphin is forecast to track wear before slowing over central and southwestern China and gradually losing strength. Wang Naqing, chief director of the National Meteorological Center, told state broadcaster CCTV.

That could prolong heavy rain and raise the risk of flooding and landslides, especially in mountainous areas and along smaller rivers.

Transport was widely disrupted across the east of the country, and more than 1 million people were evacuated from their homes.

30,300 people, Shanghai canceled about 1,500 flights, according to flight-tracking data provider VanFlight.

A 42-year-old tourist from Guangdong, consumed Chen, said he was stranded in Shanghai after his family's flight was canceled because of Typhoon Dolphin.

He said the family had been rebooked on a flight at 0p.m. on Aug. 10, although they were unsure whether it would be able to take off.

"To us Guangdong people, this typhoon is as ordinary as having a meal and feeling that would it's just part of everyday life," Chen said, adding that the storm did not appear particularly strong by the standards of China's southern coast.

In neighboring Zhejiang province, the city of Wenzhou relocated more than 900,000 residents and opened more than 1,000 emergency shelters.

In Fujian province, authorities evacuated 98,900 people from high-risk areas after raising the typhoon ener-

gency response to Level III, according to Xinhua, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangsu have also activated Level III emergency responses.

Fujian maritime authorities said 55 coastal passenger ferry routes had been suspended, all 85 offshore construction projects halted and 290 construction vessels moved to sheltered waters.

"The water resources ministry said the Qianlong Yong, Jiao, and Shutyang rivers could see major flooding, while smaller rivers in the hardest-hit areas could rise above warning levels.

A difference between a high risk of geological disasters in parts of Zhejiang, while residents in areas covered by a red mountain-torred warning were told to follow local evacuation orders.

Shanghai's Yangshan port cleared ships from its berths and moved more than 500 vessels to shelter ahead of Dolphin, the city's maritime safety administration said.

WALL ST. WEEK AHEAD

Inflation data could be record markets

NEW YORK – A sharp technology-led rally that has lifted the U.S. stock market to record peaks will be tested by fresh inflation data, which could build the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.

The S&P 500 last week posted its first all-time record results, as two months, propelled by tech and semiconductor shares that had transition its between the peaks. Over four sessions ending on Aug. 6, the benchmark index gained 5.75%, its biggest four-day surge since April 2025.

Caining of U.S.-loan business also toured stocks, with a pullback in oil prices alleviating some worries about inflation ahead of the rising sunshine. The innovation from assets report sales on Aug. 12. Stocks gained on Aug. 7 after a weak U.S. sales report increased some concerns the Fed would need to raise rates soon.

"The market has inflation anxiety," said Matthew Mishra, co-chair investment strategist at Mumalik John Hancock Investments. "We will see next week if the inflation data gives the market a sigh of relief."

The economic situation has pushed the S&P 500's year-to-date gains to more than 10%. Corporate profit reports are surpassing lofty expectations for a second consecutive quarter, underpinning investor optimism about the backdrop for equities.

"We've had some strong warnings, particularly from some of the bigger companies that needed to report good numbers," said Matt Orion, chief market strategist at Diamond James Investment Management.

At the same time, 'a big part of the [July] sell-off was that positioning became way too crowded and expectations were too exuberant,' Orion said. 'And so you saw that get worked off during the month.'

The July CPI report comes on the heels of a Fed meeting that revealed divisions about how the central bank should handle inflation data but not above 8x 2% annual target for several years.

Economists pulled by Reuters expert CPI to the U.S. on a year-over-year basis. A 2.5% annual rise is projected for cost CPI, which excludes the volatile food and energy components.

"CPI coming down the last couple of months may be enough to prevent the Fed from falling onto this year," said Dominic Pajek Jokit, chief market asset strategist for Morningstar Wealth. "Should CPI swap back higher and come in above forecast, then I would expect stocks to sell off on that news."

The Fed held interest rates steady at its July meeting, but there will peter-makers dissented in favor of a hike.

Markets as of Aug. 7 were picking in a 44% chance of a rate increase at the Fed's next meeting in September. Those odds that the state showed the U.S. economy unexpectedly lost jobs in July.

Concerns about persistently high inflation and Fed can take place contributed to a rise in Treasury yields, which investors cite as a major risk to the rally in stocks.

Higher Treasury yields can make bond investments more competitive with equities. Higher yields also translate into high inflationing costs for consumers and companies, dropping on economic growth and stocks.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield in late July hit its highest level since January 2025, but the yield has since pulled back to a 84%, with U.S. crude dropping below 80% a barrel.

"Any oil price volatility is something the market is watching closely," Mishra said. "If oil prices keep going up, it increases inflation, and then that increases the likelihood that the Fed needs to hike."

The monthly report on producer prices, due Aug. 10, will also finish out the inflation picture: Retail sales data on Aug. 10 offers a view into consumer spending, which is a key gauge for the strength of the broader economy.

Semi-conductor shares in particular have driven the stock market's rally into a real deal, and the market's spread to benefit from massive spending on AI data outlets. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index is up more than 75% in 2024, but the 60% index remains down more than 15% from its late June high.

Swiss CEO: Heat risks 'underestimated'

11,900 related deaths in Germany through July

REUTERS

ZOBETH – Authorities failed to grasp the scale of risk to human life posed by heatwaves, the CEO of intensive Swiss Re was quoted as saying on Aug. 9, as some German states eased tracking restrictions to lower weather-related processes on shipping.

Europe, the world's fastest-warming continent, has reported thousands of excess deaths during a record-breaking heatwave, most of those people aged 65 and older. France and Spain have faced particularly high temperatures in recent weeks.

The heat has also reduced water levels on major rivers, hindering shipping, which prompted several German states to temporarily suspend some codes on truck traffic.

"The risk of heatwaves and the associated fatalities was underestimated," Swiss Re CEO Andreas Berger told Swiss

newspaper NZZ am Sonntag, adding: 'We need to raise awareness of the dangers arising from this.'

Berger, who was speaking after Swiss Re reported a 5% increase in net profit

for the first half of 2024, said it was too early to say definitely how the excess mortality would affect the Zurich-based company's figures.

The Robert Koch Institute for public health estimated then had been about 8,000 people, and deaths in Germany this year by late July, mostly due to extreme temperatures in late June.

Germany's most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, as well as Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland increased trucking curbs on Aug. 9 to ease transport bottlenecks caused by water levels on rivers including the Rhine.

"Low water levels are nothing a strain on supply issues. That's why we're taking action and creating additional transport options by road at short notice," said Rhineland-Palatinate's state secretary for transport, Markus Wolf.

"The lower curbs on truck traffic on Sundays and holidays will apply until the end of August and could stay in place in some states through September, authorities said.

WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Iran: Oman deal is in 'final states'

Says U.S. must act to open Strait of Hormuz

Hayara Abdallah, Steve Holland and Ewa Alashray

ALSTON

DUBAI – Iran said on Aug. 9 that a deal with Oman defining new shipping lanes is the Strait of Hormuz was in its final stages but refrained that the waterway would only reopen once the United States and other conditions.

A U.S. official told Reuters on Aug. 7 that an agreement between Iran and Oman was close and could soon reopen the waterway, which carried a fifth of global oil and propeller-based gas shipments before Iran blocked it in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Asaghafi said on Aug. 9 that an agreement on the strait that lies between Iran and Oman was in the 'final stages' but repealed comments made on Aug. 8 that it would not reopen it unless other conditions were met.

The agreement would set out the new shipping lanes in the United States for U.S. fulfills those conditions and the strait is reopened. Iran's Strait news agency quoted him as saying.

Iranian/Our United States are not engaged in talks and Tehran will not start there as long as Washington breaches an interim deal signed in June, Asaghafi said, adding that messages are being exchanged via intermediaries.

President Donald Trump told Asian the country's UN to war time during it with Iran: 'We are only semi-repealed, top with them. We are just matching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money.'

The United States began air strikes

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Asaghafi said Iran will not start talks with the United States as long as Washington breaches an interim deal signed in June. He also said messages between the countries were being exchanged via intermediaries. HANS PENGEMANTH, WISDOMER, USA WERE AGENCY VIA IELTS

on Iran in late February, saying it aimed to ensure the Islamic Republic could not acquire online weapons or threaten the region with mundane or private. It agreed to a ceasefire with Iran in June but reimposed a blockade on Iranian shipping in the Gulf in July, which Tehran said was a violation of the river that had already broken down.

'Once the deal is announced to restore commercial shipping without impediments, the United States will lift the blockade of Iranian ports,' the U.S. official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

U.S. actions would be tied to Iran's implementation of its commitments, the official said. The U.S. comments indicated delicate sequencing toward a deal that sources had told Reuters ap-

peared to be set to give Tehran control over ships entering the Gulf through the strait, something shippers said was not easily workable. The latest statute of the agreement was not clear, and Iran's response suggested other factors would also come into play.

Asaghafi said respecting the strait would depend on conditions including U.S. comparisons to Iran for its widespread attacks.

The secretary of Iran's top national security body, Mohammad Nayei Zolqudi, also hired raiding U.S. threats against Iran, which led to a counter against Iran and its Lebanese, Palestinian, Yemeni and Iraqi allies, filling a blockade and sanctions on Iran and freeing Iranian assets.

Ultimate decision-making in Iran

rests with Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen in public since an air strike killed Iran father and predecessor on Feb. 28, the first day of U.S.-Israeli air strikes on Iran. State media said on Aug. 9 that President Masood Pirzehikan had met Khamenei in late July and a preliminary leader promised footage of the supreme leader, who was reportedly injured in the strike that killed his father, not in public.

The United Arab Relations said on Aug. 8 that Iran had attacked a ship affiliated to its state oil company. There was no immediate comment from Iran, where the powerful Revolutionary Guards have attacked ships in the past, saying they had not considered their passage through the state of the Arab.

Iranian strikes on Strait of Hormuz shipping have been coupled with increased attacks by its Yemen-based allies, the Houthis, who have targeted ships at another oil checkpoint on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula between the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The Houthis also declared a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea in July in response to what they said was a blockage against Israel in Yemen, an allegation denied by Riyadh, which backs Yemen's internationally recognized government.

The group said they had declared Saudi Aramco's Jazan refinery on Aug. 9. The Saudi energy industry said a fire had broken out at the refinery but was later extinguished with its injuries and authorities were dealing with fire incident, without giving a cause.

The Houthis said it would be target the refinery, military spokesperson Yalpa Suwa passed on S. They had struck Aramco sites before in Jazan, which processes 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day in southwestern Saudi Arabia.

Citizenship

legal basis, including those on work versus at students.

The court's June 16 ruling striking it down, in a case called Trump's Barbara, held that the ruling violated language in the Constitution's 68th Amendment that contra- citizenship to those born in the United States who are 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof.'

To curtail birth tourism, one of Trump's new orders directs federal agencies and the regime's child's citizenship of other parent is 'engaged in fraudulent activity in obtain citizenship.'

A second executive order seeks to bar visas for foreigners suspected of birth tourism, although it was unclear how it would be enforced. Federal regulation contends bars using temporary visas for the purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for a newborn.

Based on the United Office on Aug. 6, Trump renewed his criticism of the ruling and said that 'people are building businesses around' birth tourism, suggesting that 'headache of thousands' are wrongly benefiting. Some analyses cite smaller numbers, with Penn State University scholars estimated: 5,000 to 10,000 births each year from 2008 to 2024.

Besides birth tourism, Trump's new directive also seeks to expand historical exceptions to automatic birthright citizenship, which include children of diplomatic representatives such as ambassadors and hostile foreign troops occupying U.S. territory. The order would widen the categories to include foreign government employees and those deemed foreign terrorists.

Scholars divided

Scholars were divided over whether courts might allow some of these expansions.

Regarding the category of diplomats is potentially legal, depending on how it is done, said Ernst, 'though that requires giving those people significant immunity from U.S. law.'

University of California, Berkeley law professor John Tso, who worked as a Justice Department official during Republican George W. Rooks's presidency, said that the order's attempt to define foreign- enemy forces on U.S. soil as including terrorist organizations 'will eventually pass constitutional muster.'

Others said certain expansions may stretch too far.

Japanese immigrants to the U.S. were deemed enemy aliens during World War II,' said University of Michigan law professor Sam Erman, 'Under the administration's rule, their U.S.-born children could have been denied citizenship.'

The legality of the various provisions could also depend on how agencies implement them. Some of the terms are elastic, such as the definition of an 'alien enemy,' or the 'purpose' of a stay, said Hiroaki Motomura, an immigration law expert at the University of California, Los Angeles.

This creates 'huge zones of discretion that allow officials of the U.S. government to deny visas or admission based on suspicions or a need to vet further,' Motomura said.

Court ruling

The Supreme Court in June struck down Trump's prior order, even though the administration argued that automatic birthright citizenship encourages

illegal immigration and birth tourism.

'Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community,' Chief Justice Robert's wrote, adding that the authors of the 68th Amendment extended that promise to every free-born person in the land.

'We keep that promise today,' Robert's wrote.

Alito did not mince words in his dissent. 'In my judgment, the court has made a mistake that will seriously affect the country's future,' he wrote.

He barbed the court for ruling that 'overs a child born to a mother who is aged 60 years, died 1,000 years, under the fourteenth Amendment.'

Such a view yields 'gateway results,' Alito said. 'While foreigners who wish to immigrate lawfully must sometimes wait for many years, a child born here to a birth tourist is automatically a citizen,' he said.

'When I have a idea defended the orders on Aug. 6.'

'There's already nothing in here that runs a lot of any of the Supreme Court's opinions on the subject,' White House Staff Secretary Willie Hart said.

Yoo disagreed. 'I do not see any exceptions to birthright, as defined by the court in Barbara, that would include persons who fraudulently violated federal law to give birth to children on American territory,' he said.

Rachel Smootilovou, an immigration law professor at Northeastern University, said she would be surprised if the order's new exclusions survived a legal challenge, calling them 'clearly unconstitutional.'

'This order seems like a desperate measure by a president who is having a hard time occupying that he just suffered a significant loss at the Supreme Court,' Smootilovou said.

Social media

Continued from Page 1NN

The pull also found 66% support lanes that would escape social media companies use age-ventilation tools to keep children under age in from accessing their platforms. Support was highest among Republicans of 74%, compared to 69% of Democrats.

James Rossonik, a 60-year-old mechanical engineer from Tennessee who voted for Republican President Donald Trump in 2022 for election, said he mostly wants the U.S. government to have a smaller role in American lives, but that cracking down on social media companies is an exception.

'Somebody's got to do it,' he said, referring to selling restrictions on social

media for kids. 'Is it the government's job? I don't want it to be. I think maybe it should be.'

Congress has so far not passed legislation aimed at protecting kids on social media. An overwhelming majority of Americans - 85% - think social media can be addictive for children, and a similar share finds its use can be harmful for their mental health, the poll found.

Washington, DC, resident Christopher Chen, 34, said he thinks social media companies have an untried influence on teens, adding that tech firms have too much control over what their users see on their apps.

'I don't know what the regulation looks like, but something needs to be done by the government to protect the people,' said Chen, who voted for Trump's 2024 Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.

Paula Dick, 71, said social media companies could do a better job keeping kids away from inappropriate content, adding that there should be more pressure on the weight of the apps they use. Dick said she doesn't allow her grandchildren to use YouTube how they have found ways to access it anyway. Dick, who lives in Kansas, voted for Trump in 2024. 'They have workarounds to get around blocks that their parents have put on their phones,' she said. 'They're pretty intelligent when it comes to that.'

But American as she say they like social media a lot, with 97% saying their time spent on the platforms is fun, while 25% say it stressed them out.

The Reuters/press poll, which was conducted online, surveyed 4,500 U.S. adults and had a margin of error of 2 percentage points in either direction.

have been shared with Washington.

He added that Israel was in talks with the United States on the plan. 'They [the U.S.] have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some of which are unacceptable to us, and we know how to create first against these things,' Netanyahu said.

In an interview with Israeli 382 flows, Mladwan said Israel would be required to withdraw 'sector by sector' once weapons have been taken from Hamas and rendered unusable.

Bassim Numa, a senior Hamas official, told Reuters on Aug. 9 that the group remained committed to the roadmap agreed in Cairo. Er days ago.

'We expect the mediators and the U.S. guarantee to go on the international his government to adhere to the roadmap and not obstruct the process for internal political and electoral reasons,' he said.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezaid Ametnich praised Netanyahu. 'We went to war with a central goal the destruction of Hamas,' he said in a statement. 'The [military] cannot withdraw even a millimeter from the Gaza Strip.'

Trump said in July that Iran-backed Hamas, which ruled Gaza for nearly two decades before carrying out the EU's 2020, attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war, had agreed to lay down its weapons.

Hamas avoids the use of the term 'disarmament' and said the group agreed to hand over weapons to be stored under a U.S.-backed Palestine law, technology, defense system that would run the affairs in Gaza under the supervision of Trump's Board of Peace.

Hamas said it agreed to the plan to avoid a resumption of war, but it added that the implementation of the deal would depend on Israel first meeting its own commitments, including withdrawal and halting attacks.

Israel had voiced it itself down militants who had taken part in the October 2023 attack before halting the targeted attacks on Aug. 7.

Since the U.S.-mediated ceasefire reached in October 2023, more than 1,250 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks, most of them civilians, according to Gaza health officials. Hamas has not disclosed the number of its fighters killed. Four Israeli soldiers have been killed in 2020, then in Gaza. 'The group have occupied and depopulated two-thirds of the soldiers, having enough all the more than 2 million residents confined to a tiny strip of land under Hamas control along the coast, most in makeshift seats or damaged buildings.'
