MAYA HOTZ 在戴维斯的加州林业与消防保护局 (Cal Fire) 苗圃中检查道格拉斯冷杉幼苗。
在北加州的一座无窗仓库里，存放着该州森林的碎片。 冰冷的空气在 42,000 磅种子周围盘旋并形成雾气——这些被冻在纸箱中的种子，是这些树木的过去与未来。这里闻起来像雪天里的森林。 “这里就像是加州林业的母舰，”加州林业与消防保护局 (Cal Fire) 野火韧性部门主管 Stewart McMorrow 说道。他当时正站在该局位于戴维斯 (Davis) 市郊的 Lewis A. Moran 重新造林中心州种子库的沉重金属门外。

私人土地所有者尤其依赖这些种子——其中一些已有半个多世纪的历史——来在被野火摧毁的财产上重新造林。 按照加州目前被焚毁的速度，这远远不够。 气候变化以及一个多世纪以来过度激进的灭火措施，现在正导致野火异常剧烈，以至于它们摧毁了那些需要通过火灾才能繁衍的森林——使得那些著名的景观面临永久变为灌木丛和荒地的风险。 在过去的四分之一世纪里，
作为特许章程改革工作的一部分，市议会向 11 月的选票发送了一项提案，要求选民允许将其每周的议会会议次数从 3 次减少到仅 1 次。 该提案遭到了至少一名议员 Monica Rodriguez 的强烈反对。 “对于一个拥有 4 百万人口的城市，减少会议我认为传递了错误的信息。特别是当你拥有全美薪酬最高议会的时候，”Rodriguez 在今年早些时候接受 Fox 11 采访时表示（每位议员的年薪超过 $244,000）。 “我认为这种减少会议的想法与公众对议会的期望相悖。”

然而，Rodriguez 本身在出席会议方面并非极其坚持，其出勤率在同事中排名接近末尾。 根据《时报》的分析，自 2025, 年初以来，Rodriguez 出席了约 86% 的会议，在 177 场会议中缺席了 25 场。 Rodriguez 的发言人 Gabriel Avalos 暗示，其他工作相关……

维修工作仅在 被认为最可能 再次损坏的区域进行。
作者：汉娜·弗莱 (Hannah Fry)
洛杉矶的水务系统过于陈旧——且用于更换的资金极其匮乏——以至于官员们只能陷入一场危险的“分诊”博弈。
他们深知，该系统的很大一部分区域急需更换。但在时间与资金有限的情况下，洛杉矶水बिज与电力局别无选择，只能将重点放在其认为最有可能爆裂的管线上。
有时，他们在发生大规模泄漏之前能够赶到现场。但正如西好莱坞本月所经历的那样，有时管道在救援到达之前就已经破裂。
据该公用事业部门称，在过去 10 年中，西区是全市水分配系统中泄漏次数最多的地区。
专家表示，管道的年限、埋设管道的腐蚀性土壤，以及向山边社区输水的管道压力变化，[均是原因]。

在过去的十年里，洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 收到数千起投诉，指控警员仅因种族、族群或其他外在形象而针对特定人群。仅有一人因此被解雇。
这名被解雇的前警员埃德加·加西亚·坎西诺 (Edgar Garcia Cancino) 曾隶属于圣费尔南多谷的一个反帮派小组，该小组成员被指控不当拦截并搜查了数百名驾驶员。坎西诺对其解雇决定提起上诉，辩称其小组内的其他警员执行了更多存在问题的拦截行动。他声称，由于他拒绝指证其上级有违规行为，部门试图拿他开刀以儆效尤。
种族定型 (racial profiling) 的指控长期困扰着该部门，使一代又一代的黑人和棕色人种洛杉矶人感到疏离。在洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 内部，此类投诉被称为“偏见执法”，尽管多次尝试推行改革，但此类情况依然存在。然而，关于洛杉矶警察局中定型行为发生的普遍程度，仍然是一个激烈的辩论话题。
研究人员多年的研究以及《洛杉矶时报》和其他新闻媒体的报道发现，无论是否居住在高犯罪率社区，洛杉矶的黑人和拉丁裔人士被拦截、搜身、搜查和逮捕的概率显著高于白人。
历任洛杉矶警察局局长承认，可能会出现个别定型案例。与此同时，他们否认存在广泛的、系统性的问题。

这些因素共同导致了老旧系统的多处破裂。该地区发生了过去十二年中最严重的两次破裂：本月西好莱坞一起 17 百万加仑的泄漏，以及 2014 年一场导致威斯特伍德被淹并损坏 UCLA 部分设施的约 10 百万加仑破裂。
这两个地区的管道都已有 100 多年历史。但系统的其他部分情况也好不到哪去。水电局 (DWP) 超过 30% 的主管管道已有 80 多年历史，且其中至少 6% 被认为具有高优先级更换需求。一份 2018 年的评估报告称，DWP 超过 50% 的干线管段已有 65 年以上历史，11% 超过 100 年。
该公用事业部门根据多种因素确定更换项目的优先级，包括管道寿命、泄漏历史以及特定区域发生故障的后果。DWP 工程师在确定管道更换优先级时会权衡这些因素，根据每条主管路破裂的可能性及其潜在后果为其评定等级。

该冲突导致六人死亡，其中包括两名以色列人。
作者：Melanie Lidman
特拉维夫 —— 官员们周日表示，在一次导致四名巴勒斯坦人和两名以色列士兵死亡的致命暴力事件后，以色列占领的西岸地区两座清真寺在昨夜被纵火，显然是受到了以色列殖民者的袭击。此次暴力事件发生之际，巴勒斯坦人和以色列反对派指责总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的强硬政府对殖民者袭击巴勒斯坦人的行为视而不见，这正威胁到整个地区可能爆发大规模暴力冲突。
暴力事件发生后，以色列士兵和警察在西岸地区展开部署，封闭了主要道路，并封锁了一家被指有两名武装分子藏身其中的医院。以色列在周末还逮捕了 70 多名巴勒斯坦人，试图控制升级的动荡。
位于西岸北部库斯拉（Qusra）和库尔（Kour）村的清真寺在火灾中遭受了严重损坏。在库斯拉，袭击者用喷漆写道“为本雅胡复仇”，指的是周五被杀的以色列士兵之一本雅胡·梅莱特（Benayahu Mellet），以及“以色列的土地是用血赎回的”。该士兵居住在附近的一个定居点。
住在库斯拉清真寺隔壁的 64 岁老人艾哈迈德·阿布·马哈茂德（Ahmed Abu Mahmoud）表示，他在凌晨 3 点听到异响，随后发现清真寺被纵火。火势太大，他无法独自扑灭，于是寻求帮助。阿布·马哈茂德说，在过去一个月里，牲畜和饮水箱被盗，但以色列当局并未提供帮助。“军队来到了这里，亲眼看到了这一切，然后就离开了，”他在周日说道。
美联社获得的库尔地区的监控视频显示，三名身穿便服的人在半夜于清真寺入口处引发了一次剧烈爆炸。周日，尽管入口受到了损坏，居民们仍在此举行祈祷。

柏林 —— 当局表示，在周日于德国首都郊区的一次对峙中，导致 1 人死亡、29 人受伤的柏林骄傲节致命袭击事件的嫌疑人被警方枪击身亡。 阿卜杜勒·巴卢特 (Abdul Ballout) 是一名具有黎巴嫩血统的德国公民，在柏林市中心袭击事件后，经过近 24 小时的搜寻，他被击毙。 柏林检察官表示，巴卢特此前曾试图加入激进组织“伊斯兰国”。 他被怀疑在周六晚上驾驶一辆货车冲入柏林骄傲节附近的人群，随后显然又用砍刀刺伤他人。当局认为这是一起伊斯兰主义恐怖袭击。 内政部长亚历山大·多布林特 (Alexander Dobrindt) 表示，袭击发生地距离勃兰登堡门附近的一个派对仅有几百码，该派对原定为这座城市的骄傲节闭幕活动。 柏林警方在 X 上写道，巴卢特在周日下午 6 点左右于柏林郊区施潘道 (Spandau) 的一个花园中被追踪到。警方称，他显然持锐利工具向警员冲来，警方随即开火至少一枪。他在现场死亡。 多布林特表示，巴卢特出生在德国。他的母亲在 2002 年入籍，比他出生早三年。 柏林检察官周日表示，巴卢特在 2025 年前往黎巴嫩，目的是前往叙利亚加入“伊斯兰国”。 在那里，他与几名被推定为该激进组织成员的人员取得了联系 —— 或至少

华盛顿 —— 以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周日表示，纽约市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）称其为战争罪犯，并表示如果他为了参加联合国大会而访问该市应被逮捕，此举是在“煽动仇恨”。
内塔尼亚胡表示，尽管市长暗示他不受欢迎，但他仍计划于 9 月前往纽约，在年度联合国世界领导人会议上发表讲话。马姆达尼上周表示，尽管纽约市没有执行世界最高战争罪法院签发逮捕令的法律权力，但他鼓励联邦政府这样做。
“他应该是所有纽约人的市长——犹太人、基督徒、穆斯林，每一个人，”内塔尼亚胡在福克斯新闻（Fox News）的《周日早晨未来》（Sunday Morning Futures）节目中对玛丽亚·巴蒂罗莫（Maria Bartiromo）说道，“但他正试图让一个群体反对另一个群体。”
由于以色列在加沙的战争，这位总理已成为一个日益极化的人物。这场战争是由 2023 年 10 月 7, 2023，哈马斯领导的武装分子在以色列南部发动的致命袭击引发的。以色列还于 2 月 28 日加入美国，开始对伊朗作战，随后为了应对受伊朗支持的武装组织真主党（Hezbollah）的袭击，在黎巴嫩南部发动了地面入侵。
内塔尼亚胡周日将国际刑事法院（ICC）对他提出的战争罪指控斥为“荒谬”。他指出了 ICC 首席检察官被指控存在性不端行为（该检察官已于周五被免职），并称逮捕令是为了转移注意力。
市长办公室在周日未立即回应置评请求。
内塔尼亚胡表示，他担心美国过去对以色列的跨党派政治支持正面临风险，特别是随着与马姆达尼立场一致的进步派民主党人与该党许多主流成员分道扬镳。
他还警告美国及其他西方国家日益严重的反犹主义，并表示，当他与纽约市的人交流时——这里拥有第二大犹太人口——
[[IMG_XXXX]] 警方在袭击者的面包车附近，该车在撞树前撞击了数人。
检察官表示，至少在他认为的情况下是这样的。
他去年在黎巴嫩被捕，并被军事法庭判处三个月监禁，罪名包括煽动宗教和教派冲突。
巴卢特（Ballout）在服刑结束后返回德国，随后在柏林机场被捕。
检察官表示，今年 5 月，柏林一家少年法庭判定巴卢特准备实施一项危及国家的严重暴力行为，并在其 Instagram 账号上发布伊斯兰国（Islamic State）的宣传资料，以及其他指控。
法院判处其 1 年 10 个月的青少年拘留缓刑，柏林检察官对此提出了上诉。
法院表示，它考虑到了巴卢特在德国和黎巴嫩被审前拘留数月的情况。法院还表示，巴卢特承认了罪行，似乎已与该武装组织保持距离，且从未产生实际威胁。
他被从拘留中释放——
[[IMG_XXXX]] 以色列领导人本雅明·内塔尼亚胡计划于 9 月在联合国发表讲话。
在等待上诉期间维持拘留。 据警方称，一辆白色面包车在周六晚上 10 点左右驶入柏林的蒂尔加滕 (Tiergarten) 公园，在撞上一棵树之前撞击了多人。
当时，被称为“克里斯托弗大街日” (Christopher Street Day) 的骄傲节闭幕派对正在不远处的勃兰登堡门附近进行。在此之前的当天早些时候，一场拥有约 80 辆卡车的游行已穿过柏林市中心。
袭击发生在距离节日活动几百码的蒂尔加滕公园一条小径上。面包车冲进了一群可能是节日参与者和其他人的人群中。 警方表示，一名女性被杀。
周日下午，数百名哀悼者在标志性的勃兰登堡门纪念地聚集。他们互相拥抱，放置鲜花、蜡烛、彩虹旗和手工制作的标牌，其中包括一块纸板标牌，上面写着：“唯一比仇恨更强大的是爱。”
Ashley Jump 是一位 26 岁的英国居民，她前往柏林参加周六的骄傲游行，但在袭击发生前离开了庆祝活动。他们周日返回，在纪念地献花。 “他们永远无法抹去我们，我们永远不会消失，”Jump 说道，“只要人类存在，我们就存在。只要人类存在，我们就会存在。我们不会被清除。”
总理 Friedrich Merz 敦促国家在袭击发生后保持团结。 “我想对柏林以及整个德国的克里斯托弗大街日参与者说：不要让你们自己，不要让我们自己被恐吓，”Merz 说道。 “这些行为只有一个目的：旨在分裂我们的社会。他们想夺走我们拥有的最重要东西：即我们的开放和自由。”
[[IMG_XXXX]] Markus Schreiber 美联社 (Associated Press)
在世界上，“犹太人感到非常不安。” “我认为这是错误的。整个事情都是错误的，”他说道。
在去年的市长竞选活动中，Mamdani 表示，由于内塔尼亚胡在加沙战争中的角色，他将寻求命令该市警察执行国际刑事法院 (ICC) 的逮捕令。特赦国际 (Amnesty International) 和其他国际组织已得出结论，认为以色列在加沙的行为构成了种族灭绝。
Mamdani 上周承认，他的城市没有法律权力逮捕内塔尼亚胡，并呼吁联邦当局介入。 “我想同样明确地表示，本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在纽约市是不受欢迎的，任何其他在逃罪犯也是如此，”他在一段视频信息中说道。
他告诉纽约人，他理解他们的沮丧，抗议的表达是这座城市将“永远尊重”的事情。
总部位于海牙的法院指控内塔尼亚胡、他的前国防部长以及已故的哈马斯领导人犯有反人类罪。 巴勒斯坦地区的卫生部表示，在以色列的攻势中已有 73,000 多人被杀——其中约一半是妇女和儿童。在哈马斯领导的最初对以色列袭击中，约 1,200 人被杀，其中大多数是平民。

洪都拉斯，特古西瓜尔帕 —— 在美国总统特朗普对其可卡因贩运定罪 granting 赦免并获释出狱七个月后，洪都拉斯前总统胡安·奥兰多·埃尔南德斯 (Juan Orlando Hernández) 周日抵达其国内，以面对腐败指控。
埃尔南德斯曾被美国视为禁毒战争的盟友，他在 2014 到 2022 年间领导洪都拉斯，期间他曾吹嘘自己将“把毒品直接塞进美国佬的鼻孔里”。

使法国火灾救援 陷入困境

【法国，勒盖-卡普费雷 (LEGE-CAP FERRET)】——周日夜间，法国西南部的一场猛烈山火迫使 55,000 人紧急撤离，仅在一个地区，被迫离开家园的总人数就达到了 220,000 人，与此同时，火势正不断逼近葡萄酒产区城市波尔多 (Bordeaux)。邻国西班牙也在其东海岸开展了相应的火灾撤离工作。
由于风向多变且伴有阵风，加之气候干旱，这使得限制这场巨型火灾蔓延的大规模努力变得复杂化。自本周三以来，这场失控的火灾一直一直在波尔多所在的吉龙德省 (Gironde region) 燃烧。当局已向该历史名城西南部的另外五个地区发布了夜间撤离令。
“局势依然非常不利，”法国内政部长洛朗·努涅兹 (Laurent Nunez) 在描述了消防员们在与这场过火面积达巴黎四倍的大火进行全天候搏斗的“又一个艰难夜晚”后表示。
努涅兹在 X 平台上发帖称：“火势再次变得极其猛烈且不可预测，产生了自身的风场，并不规律地向波尔多大都市区推进。到深夜时分才趋于平静。”
吉龙德省政府表示，估计已有 162 平方英里被焚毁，其中大部分是由于连续热浪而变得干枯如tinder的森林和灌木丛。消防员驾驶卡车奔赴前线应对火势暴发，投水和投放阻燃剂的飞机在烟雾弥漫的空中轮番作业。农民们用水罐为消防队员提供用水，以便他们能不间断地扑救火灾。
动员的消防员人数已增加至 2,500 人，并得到了 18 架飞机和直升机的支持，其中包括来自其他欧洲国家的支援。军队也已被征调。吉龙德省政府表示，共有 75 名消防员因伤接受治疗。数百栋房屋已被摧毁。
当局表示，法国首次出现如此惊人的情况：火灾在多次地演变成一种自维持的“火风暴”，最近一次发生在周六晚上，火风暴产生了足以引发新火点的闪电。
“就像在面对一场飓风，”吉龙德省消防局局长马克·费梅伦 (Marc Vermeulen) 说道。
[[IMG_XXXX]] 艾玛·达·席尔瓦，美联社
吉龙德省省长索菲·布罗卡斯 (Sophie Brocas) 表示，预计从周二开始的高温可能会增加灭火难度。她警告称，在火势得到控制之前，撤离者将不被允许返回其城镇和村庄，并敦促度假者不要前往该地区。
波尔多市长托马斯·卡泽纳夫 (Thomas Cazenave) 描述火势已处于“大都市区的门口”，在最近的一点距离约为 9 英里。但卡泽纳夫表示，目前暂不考虑对波尔多进行撤离。该市人口为 268,000 人。
波尔多将一个展览中心改造成了紧急避难所，为数千名撤离者提供床铺和食物，其中包括数百名从护理院撤离的老年人。
在更南部的朗德省 (Landes region) 燃烧的第二场大火已迫使 36,000 人撤离，使总数……
【此处接续另一篇报道碎片】 ……根据美国检察官的说法。 他在四年前被引渡以接受毒品贩运审判，且是在离任后不久。对于洪都拉斯人来说，这是一次罕见的正义机会，因为他们担心他对该国司法系统的掌控将使他在洪都拉斯境内永远无法被定罪。
但这位前领导人在美国被判处 45 年监禁后，于 12 月被释放，这令美国和洪都拉斯的许多人感到震惊，因为他获得了特朗普 (Trump) 的总统特赦。
特朗普因发布特赦而受到广泛批评——此次特赦发生在美国入侵委内瑞拉以抓捕总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗 (Nicolás Maduro) 并将其押至美国面对毒品贩运指控之前不久，且当时美国军队正对一系列被指涉嫌运输毒品的船只发动致命攻击。
法国西南部的流离失所人数已超过 250,000 人。消防人员还一直在与地中海沿岸的法国南部瓦尔地区的一场大火作斗争。那里已有近 3,000 人被疏散。在西班牙，马德里周围的野火失控燃烧。周日，瓦伦西亚地区也进行了疏散。周六，在瓦伦西亚郊区马尼塞斯的一场野火中，一名男子丧生。“我们面前仍有艰难的时刻，”总理佩德罗·桑切斯（Pedro Sánchez）周日表示，但夜晚在“控制火焰方面是非常积极的”。政府表示，西班牙共有 76,000 人被疏散，另有 30,000 人被限制在家中。“看起来就像世界末日，”罗西奥·多明格斯（Rocío Domínguez）说道，她带着她的狗辛巴（Simba）从马德里西部的查皮内里亚（Chapinería）撤离。“你什么都看不见。一切都被灰烬覆盖了。”

运送毒品。他通过主张埃尔南德斯（Hernández）没有获得公正的审判，且这是一场由拜登政府策划的陷阱，来为这次赦免进行辩护。 埃尔南德斯返回洪都拉斯面临腐败指控，而人们担心薄弱的司法系统以及他的政党重返总统之位将确保他免于受惩。 “大多数社会成员感到愤怒，但因为恐惧而不敢发声，”人权组织“反思、研究与沟通团队”（Reflection, Research and Communication Team）的律师兼研究员华金·梅希亚（Joaquín Mejía）表示。“我们讨论的是所有毒枭之首。” 该国国内也有一些人欢迎他的回归。埃尔南德斯在机场受到了他的母亲、妻子、孩子和孙女以及数十名国民党支持者的迎接。
刚果埃博拉病例数接近 3,000 例

刚果，布尼亚 —— 刚果东部一家埃博拉治疗中心的医务人员发起罢工，要求支付薪资。此次罢工导致该国疫情迅速增长的震中地区的患者护理工作中断。
根据周五公布的政府数据，刚果的埃博拉确诊病例数已达到 2,973 例，其中包含 1,309 例死亡。当局称，这是记录以来增长最快的一次疫情。
位于伊图里省布尼亚的 Elikya 埃博拉治疗中心在医生、护士和安保人员停止工作后陷入停顿。
周六，约 100 名医务人员在治疗中心外举行抗议。他们表示，未支付的奖金正在损害士气并干扰患者护理，并呼吁刚果当局解决欠薪问题，以便他们恢复工作。
“我们需要拿到报酬，因为与此同时，疾病正在治疗中心内传播，”参与罢工的医务人员之一马丁·博隆比 (Martin Bolombi) 说道。
“我已经看到五个还在里面的病人去世了。必须为我们找到解决方案，”他补充道。
在周五发布的一份声明中，工作人员表示，他们一致投票决定罢工，直到找到“具体解决方案”来解决“两个月未发放的绩效奖金”。
此次罢工发生在刚果总理朱迪思·苏明瓦 (Judith Suminwa) 到访伊图里并视察主要治疗中心的一天之后。
否认军方 关键拦截弹 储备不足。
作者：Samy Magdy 和 Cara Anna
开罗 —— 美国周日连续第二天暂停对伊朗的袭击，德黑兰方面表示其也采取了同样行动。与此同时，各方正继续努力促使两国重回关于临时停火协议的谈判，而该协议在很大程度上已被近期交火的影响所破坏。
目前尚不清楚美国为何在针对伊朗沿海地区及基础设施发动袭击后选择暂停。此次局势升级是由伊朗向试图通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只开火，以及随后袭击约旦的一处基地（导致三名美国军人死亡）所引发的。五角大楼周日未对相关问题做出回应。
美国驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔兹 (Mike Waltz) 周日在福克斯新闻 (Fox News) 上表示，特朗普总统正在“给谈判留出空间。他在给它一点余地”。
“在过去的几周里，尤其是过去几天，我们不仅有阿曼和伊朗，还有许多其他谈判代表在各个层面参与其中，从最高层一直到技术层面。”
沃尔兹否认了关于美国防御伊朗袭击至关重要的拦截弹储备不足的说法，但专家们质疑美国和伊朗双方能维持攻击状态多久。
伊朗伊斯兰共和国军队发言人周日在国家电视台表示，由于美国在过去两个夜晚停止了袭击，伊朗也随之停止。德黑兰此前曾对在该地区驻有美国军队的国家发动反击，包括在约旦发动的致命袭击。
外交官称此次缓解为“积极信号” 两国在 60 日前（6 月中旬）签署临时协议后开始的 60 天期限现已进入后半段。而本应进行谈判的主要问题 —— 尤其是伊朗的核计划 —— 仍被搁置，因为调解员正试图让双方保持对话。
一名参与调解工作的一名地区官员表示，外交手段正在发挥作用，美国和伊朗袭击行动的暂停是一个“积极信号”。
“时刻已经到来。四年之后，我终于可以告诉你们，我们将再次见面，” 埃尔南德斯 (Hernández) 在抵达前发布在社交媒体上的视频中如此说道。
据该国反腐败网络专门检察官单位 (UFERCO) 的调查， 57 岁的埃尔南德斯面临与一个名为“潘多拉 I” (Pandora I) 案件相关的指控。该案件指称，从 2010 年到 2013 年，一个由前高级官员组成的网络参与了扩大并批准总额超过 $10.8 million 的公共资金拨付至各种基金会的行为。
根据 UFERCO 的说法，埃尔南德斯从这些拨付资金中获益，通过包括创建壳公司在内的各种手段，为其政治竞选获得了至少 $2.3 million。

危机的开始。 这个中非国家自5月15日以来一直在与由罕见的 Bundibugyo 病毒引起的埃博拉疫情作斗争。根据刚果卫生部的数据，共有 766 名患者仍处于隔离状态或在医院治疗，而目前已有 540 人康复。 伊图里东部省占确诊病例的近 90%。 尽管应对措施在扩大，但疫情的传播速度仍然快于卫生官员的追踪速度。一个关键挑战是，此次疫情的零号病人尚未被确定，而且该地区武装冲突导致的流离失所和非法采矿，使得追踪数千名与感染者接触的人员变得十分困难。 资金缺口、卫生中心遭受袭击以及东部地区持续的冲突，也阻碍了应对工作。

华盛顿 —— 特朗普政府在法庭文件中承认，其取消了数百个清洁能源项目的 $7.6 billion 补贴，这是“完全基于补贴接收者所在州的政治身份”，其中包括加利福尼亚州以及在 2024 年总统大选中投票给卡玛拉·哈里斯的 15 个其他州。
该声明包含在上述周一份关于取消资金的诉讼法庭文件中，这与能源部长克里斯·赖特 (Chris Wright) 及其他官员此前多次断言的项目取消理由相矛盾。此前他们声称，这些项目被取消是因为它们未能充分推进国家的能源需求，或存在其他问题，导致其成为一项糟糕的纳税人资金投资。
能源部在周三的文件中表示：“能源部 (DOE) 承认，补贴的纳入……完全基于补贴接收者所在州的政治身份，即接收者的所在地和/或执行地是否处于一个‘蓝色州’或非‘蓝色州’。能源部不会主张其在考察主要受助者之外，还考虑了政治身份或地理分布的”
在他那个 era 时期 重大裁决背后的 推理逻辑。
作者：David G. Savage
华盛顿 —— 安东尼·M·肯尼迪 (Anthony M. Kennedy) 大法官在退休前曾是最高法院最具影响力的成员，在过去的八年里，他静静地观察着一个新的保守派多数派掌控局面。他对党派性的选区划分（gerrymandering）感到不安，但在他卸任一年后，一项 5-4 的裁决关闭了联邦法院挑战州投票地图的途径，而这些地图允许一个政党操纵选举使其获益。尽管他认为堕胎在道德上是错误的，但在 1992 年，他投下了关键的一票，支持“罗诉韦德案”(Roe vs. Wade) 及其原则，即由女性而非政府决定是否终止早期怀孕。四年前，该裁决在 5-4 的投票中被推翻。虽然肯尼迪一直克制地不对现任法院或特朗普总统发表评论，但他写了一本回忆录，讲述了他的生活故事，并解释了他那个 era 时期重大决策背后的推理逻辑。
大法官们写书已变得很普遍，但他们通常会避开撰写关于法院工作的内容。肯尼迪的书《生命、法律与自由》(Life, Law & Liberty) 就像这位大法官本人一样，是该规则的例外。作为一名来自萨克拉门托的爱尔兰天主教徒和里根共和党人，肯尼迪在最高法院任职的 30 年间，投票记录总体上是保守的。但他对自由和正义有着独特的看法。“不公正的本质在于，我们可能无法在自己的时代里总是看到它，”他在 2015. 年写道。肯尼迪拒绝接受那种“僵化”的观点，即宪法关于自由和法律平等保护的承诺，以及防止残酷和异常惩罚的保护，仅限于 1791 年《权利法案》或 1868. 年第 14 修正案的“原始”含义。毕竟，在美国历史的大部分时间里，奴隶制和种族隔离都是合法的，而且女性并未通过第 14 修正案中“平等保护”的承诺而免于歧视。肯尼迪对新的权利和自由保持开放态度。他写道，目标是“一个体面的社会，在其中宪法和法治以尊严和平等对待所有人”。他就是那位……
拨款资金的 下游受益者。” 该机构还表示，它“承认导致 2025 年 10 月终止“蓝色州”拨款而未终止非“蓝色州”拨款的差别对待，并不是基于接收者的地点和/或执行地点与能源部 (DOE) 过去或当前的机构优先事项之间的合理联系。”
民主党人和环保组织抓住了这份法院文件，称政府已经将联邦政府“武器化”，以摧毁优质就业机会并惩罚那些因政治观点而受牵连的劳动家庭。
指控其为“腐败的权力滥用” “本届政府现在在法庭上承认了长期以来显而易见的事实：它终止了近 300 个旨在削减成本的能源项目，原因没有任何其他，仅仅是因为这些项目所在的州在 2024 年大选中没有投票给总统，”俄亥俄州众议员马西·卡普图尔 (Marcy Kaptur) 和华盛顿州参议员帕蒂·默里 (Patty Murray) 在一份声明中表示。两人分别是众议院和参议院拨款委员会的高级民主党成员。 “像这样将联邦政府武器化完全是不符合美国精神的，而那些已经在与高昂成本搏斗的勤奋家庭，正是承受这一后果的人。”
退休大法官安东尼·M·肯尼迪 (Anthony M. Kennedy)，90, 岁，对华盛顿的基调感到担忧。
在多个法律领域产生了影响，其中最显著的便是 LGBTQ+ 权利。
他撰写了法院四项关于拒绝基于性倾向歧视的主要裁决。2015 年，他代表 5-4 的多数意见，支持在全国范围内承认同性婚姻。
“没有比婚姻更深远的结合，因为它体现了爱、忠诚、奉献、牺牲和家庭的最高理想，”他写道。“许多同性伴侣为他们的孩子——无论是亲生还是领养的——提供了充满爱与滋养的家庭。目前有数十万名儿童正由这样的伴侣抚养。”
他们在“法律面前寻求平等的尊严。宪法赋予了他们这项权利，”他在“奥贝格费尔诉霍奇斯案”（Obergefell vs. Hodges）中总结道。
他还认为，青少年犯罪者的责任不应与成年人等同。他在 2005 年撰写的一份法院意见书中，终结了对犯罪时未满 18 岁的谋杀犯执行死刑的做法。
五年后，他撰写了法院意见，认为对于不涉及杀人的青少年犯罪，法官判处终身监禁且不得假释属于残忍且不寻常的惩罚。在提交至法院的案件中，一名佛罗里达州青少年在 18 岁生日之前因犯下武装抢劫和入室窃盗罪而被判处终身监禁。
肯尼迪在周四迎来了他的 90 岁生日，并表示他最喜欢交谈的话题不是九位大法官，而是他的九个孙辈。
他有时仍前往法院，并表示他对华盛顿以及全美范围内的一种基调感到担忧。
“过于党派化且具有对抗性，”他在最近接受《时报》采访时说道。“我担心这种分歧可能会反映在法院中。”
他表示，民主需要“理性的且相互尊重的辩论”，而不是人身攻击和谩骂。
华盛顿大学法学教授、曾任肯尼迪法庭书记员的丹尼尔·埃普斯（Daniel Epps）表示，肯尼迪可能是最后一类这样的法官。
“我不认为我们会再看到另一位在意识形态上如此难以预测，并且在我们这一辈人经历的一些重大案件中，会投票反对任命他的党派的法官，”他说。肯尼迪脱胎于“一个两极分化程度较低的任命过程，当时存在保守派民主党人和自由派共和党人，且有参议院的冗长辩论制度，这一切使得温和派得以被任命。”
尽管肯尼迪有时将自己描述为一名来自萨克拉门托的小镇律师，但他结识了两位重塑最高法院的加州州长（两人均为共和党人）。
肯尼迪的父亲是州长厄尔·沃伦（Earl Warren）的朋友，年轻的托尼曾与沃伦的孩子们一起玩耍。他在沃伦担任州长期间，曾在州议会大厦担任年轻的勤杂员。
1954 年，他正值高三，当时新任首席大法官沃伦代表全票一致的法院，在“布朗诉托皮卡教育局案”（Brown vs. Board of Education）中废除了种族隔离制度。
他与父亲一致认为该裁决早已迟到。这也给了他一个早期的教训：即便在国家大部分地区面临激烈反对，大法官们依然可以维护宪法的基本原则。
他说，后来他又学到了第二个教训。布朗案的决定是“一个历史性的步骤
批评者指责特朗普政府将政府工具化。
卡普图尔（Kaptur）和默里（Murray）表示，这是“腐败的权力滥用”。
他们呼吁国会共和党人加入他们的行列，要求特朗普政府“为总统未能照顾到所有美国人而负责”。
能源部 10 月宣布，涉及 223 个项目的 321 项资金资助被终止，称经过审查，这些项目“未能充分推进国家的能源需求，或在经济上不可行”。
这些削减是特朗普总统对气候计划和清洁能源资金更广泛攻击的一部分，削减了联邦对建设电池工厂、开发氢能项目的支持
技术、 升级 电网并捕捉 二氧化碳排放。 白宫预算总监 罗素·沃特 (Russell Vought) 在一篇社交媒体帖子中强调了这些削减计划， 称用于“推动左翼气候议程”的资金 “正被取消”。 能源部 未立即 就置评请求做出回应。
许多州的项目被削减
被削减的项目分布在加利福尼亚州、科罗拉多州、 康涅狄格州、 特拉华州、 夏威夷州、伊利诺伊州、马里兰州、 马萨诸塞州、明尼苏达州、 新罕布什尔州、新泽西州、新墨西哥州、纽约州、

前进”但仅仅是 在对抗根深蒂固的种族不公正之战中的 “一个开始”。 在撰写同性 婚姻 案时， 肯尼迪 引用了沃伦在 1967 年 Loving 诉弗吉尼亚州案中的意见，该案推翻了 16 个州禁止跨种族婚姻的 禁令。 作为一名年轻律师，肯尼迪为州长罗纳德·里根执行特别项目， 并对他非常钦佩。当时他仅 38 岁，在 里根的请求下，他被 任命为美国第九巡回上诉法院法官。 十年后担任总统期间，里根任命了 桑德拉·戴·奥康纳和安东宁·斯卡利亚大法官进入 最高法院，并 提拔威廉·伦奎斯特为首席大法官。但他的 第三位提名人——罗伯特·博克法官——因过于保守而被 参议院否决。 里根邀请肯尼迪前往白宫并 向他提供提名。 肯尼迪 回忆起 告诉 里根，他和妻子 玛丽在萨克拉门托生活得很幸福，那里有他们所有的朋友 和家人。他说，我们在华盛顿不认识任何人。 他用最像 里根 声音的 口吻， 讲述了总统的 回应：“你认识我。而且 你也认识南希。” 肯尼迪接受了 提名，并于 1988 年 2 月以 97-0 的投票结果获得通过，成为最后一位获得参议院 一致通过的法官。 他在法院任职的三十年里，在一定程度上受到了他与斯卡利亚关系的塑造。 肯尼迪和他的妻子 在弗吉尼亚州北部的同一个社区买了一栋房子， 斯卡利亚也住在那里。在他们进入法院的早年里，他们看起来是 朋友和盟友。 他们广泛支持

俄勒冈州、佛蒙特州和华盛顿州。所有 16 个目标州 都支持 哈里斯， 但 赖特表示，这些削减是 基于这些项目是否为纳税人资金的良好用途而做出的“商业决定”。 这些削减立即在法院遭到质疑， 二十多名 民主党 国会议员，由加州参议员亚当·希夫、亚历克斯·帕迪拉和众议员佐伊·洛夫格伦领头，向 能源部代理监察长写信 请求进行正式调查。 该部门的内部 监管机构于 12 月启动了 调查。 政府律师此前在去年底的一份 法院文件中确认
言论自由。出乎许多人意料的是，他们在 1989 年投下了决定性票数，裁定第一修正案保护在抗议时焚烧美国国旗的权利。一年后，当法院裁定密歇根州商会及其企业支持者可被禁止为其支持的州候选人投放广告时，肯尼迪和斯卡利亚表示强烈反对。该裁决引发了一场持续数十年的争端，最终以 2010 年的 Citizens United 裁决告终。肯尼迪代表 5-4 的保守派多数意见裁定，公司、工会和其他团体可以自由地独立出资来反对或支持候选人。但当法院在重大案件中出现激烈分歧时，肯尼迪往往处于多数派，而斯卡利亚则会撰写措辞尖锐且日益具有个人色彩的异议书。在同性婚姻案的异议书中，斯卡利亚写道：“我宁愿把头藏在袋子里”，也不愿
加入了一篇“文风与其内容的自负程度一样令人做作”的评论文章。肯尼迪被另一种讽刺所困扰。斯卡利亚曾写道，大法官们并不代表整个国家。例如，法院缺乏一名“真正的西方人（加利福尼亚州不算在内）”。自斯卡利亚去世后，他的影响力日益增长，尤其是在年轻一代的保守派中。特朗普任命的两名大法官——尼尔·M·戈萨奇（Neil M. Gorsuch）和布雷特·M·卡瓦诺（Brett M. Kavanaugh）——在 1993 年曾担任肯尼迪的书记员，但他们现在更有可能引用斯卡利亚及其在解释法律或宪法方面的观点。特朗普任命的第三位大法官艾美·康尼·巴雷特（Amy Coney Barrett）曾是斯卡利亚的书记员。尽管肯尼迪没有回应斯卡利亚激烈的异议，但这些异议在他们共同在法院度过的最后一年里一直笼罩着他们。2016 年 2 月的一天，斯卡利亚在肯尼迪的办公室停留，进行交谈。“尼诺（Nino）说，他现在深深地后悔在‘奥伯格费尔案’（Obergefell）异议书中采取的语气以及其中的私人攻击。他为自己的失控表示道歉，”肯尼迪写道。“我们两个都不太习惯拥抱，但我们还是拥抱了，并且都露出了微笑。”他们约定在斯卡利亚从德克萨斯州的狩猎之行回来后，与各自的妻子一起共进晚餐。一周后，斯卡利亚的妻子莫琳（Maureen）打电话告知他们他已去世。“尼诺和我共同在法院工作了 28 年，”肯尼迪写道。“我们有时一致，有时分歧，但我非常尊敬他，也非常想念他。”
拨款的选择实际上 “受到了受助者地址是否 位于倾向于在州和国家 选举中投票给……民主党 候选人的州（即所谓的 ‘蓝州’）的影响。”
这份申请出现在由清洁能源团体和明尼苏达州圣保罗市就取消资金而提起的一起单独诉讼中。最近的一次承认出现在一起名为 Thakur vs. Trump 的案件中，该案自 2025 年春季以来一直处于进行中。联邦律师承认，他们使用了与多样性、性别和 COVID-19 相关的关键词，以筛选出那些违背特朗普政府优先事项的项目。
塞拉俱乐部（Sierra Club）首席项目官霍莉·本德（Holly Bender）表示，最新的法庭文件表明，“特朗普政府正厚颜无耻地承认其在取消急需的能源基础设施方面采取了一种报复性手段，而完全无视人们在各地所经历的就业流失、空气污染以及日益上涨的账单。”本德表示，美国纳税人的数十亿美元资金并没有被用于“建设我们迫切需要的能源项目”，而是“进入了少数几个化石燃料公司 CEO 的口袋”。她援引资料称，特朗普政府承诺投入近 $3 billion 用于取消海上风电项目，转而支持天然气和煤炭等化石燃料项目。

一家联邦上诉法院维持了一项裁决，该裁决在近半数州停止了特朗普总统的行政令。该行政令旨在建立一份联邦合格选民名单，并将邮寄选票的投递仅限于名单上的人员。
美国第一巡回上诉法院的法官在周六做出的这项裁决，拒绝了特朗普政府在 23 个起诉州在 11 月期中选举前推进邮寄投票限制的尝试。
特朗普在 3 月发布了一项行政令，要求美国公民及移民服务局局长和社会保障局局长创建一份合格选民的“州公民名单”。
该命令还要求美国邮政署仅向名单上的人员投递邮寄选票。
特朗普声称，拟议的变更是必要的保障措施，旨在防止非美国公民投票，但州选举官员认为这些措施极易被滥用并可能导致混乱。
23 个州和哥伦比亚特区的民主党官员在波士顿美国地方法院提起诉讼，质疑特朗普的命令。
他们认为，特朗普的命令违宪，因为设定选举规则的权力在于各州和国会，而非总统。
美国地方法院法官 Indira Talwani 对此表示赞同，并暂停了特朗普命令在 11 月 3 日选举中的实施，但仅限于提起诉讼的州。
特朗普的行政令是他持续进行的活动的一部分，旨在 11 月期中选举前限制投票渠道，并对选举系统的公正性产生质疑。
白宫和司法部在周日未立即回复寻求就法院裁决发表评论的电子邮件。
根据《时报》审阅的案件文件摘要，这属于“蓄意违反政策的模式”。警察调查人员在案件文件中表示，他们发现数百次拦截未能妥善记录，且警员未启动其身体记录仪和车载摄像头。
据其律师称，针对 Cancino 的指控主要集中在两次拦截上。律师 Nicole Castronovo 表示，在 2023, 年 5 月，Cancino 及其搭档拦截了一名涉嫌超速且车窗贴膜的男子。Castronovo 表示，该车辆的注册已过期，但在警员搜查车辆且未发现任何犯罪证据后，该司机在没有收到传票的情况下获准离开。
据 Castronovo 称，在随后接受采访时，该驾驶员告诉警察调查人员，Cancino 拦截他是因为“我看起来像个 G”，即帮派分子。
该律师表示，几个月后，Cancino 参与了另一次有争议的拦截，这次拦截的对象是一名行人，该行人随后也提交了投诉，指称自己被定型（profiled）。
Castronovo 否认 Cancino 在工作中不公正地针对任何人，并表示他是一名自豪的拉丁裔，加入警队是出于回馈成长城市的愿望。她认为，部门调查人员在处理涉及 Cancino 的案件时挑肥拣瘦，却忽视了 Mission 地区其他警员的类似行为。
她说：“他们建立了一套系统，使得针对警员的偏见执法投诉几乎不可能成立。然后他们反过来将其‘武器化’，用来对付 Cancino。”
调查结果提交给了洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）领导层，领导层建议开除 Cancino 并将其送交纪律听证会。Castronovo 在申诉中认为，她的当事人以及另一名被开除的 Mission 地区警员 Kim Lobos 遭到了去-

核能监管委员会（Nuclear Regulatory Commission）正提议取消一项基础性安全原则。50年来，该原则最大限度地降低了美国民众暴露于辐射的风险，并被全球范围内所采用。
目前，使用放射性材料的设施（如核电站、医院或学术机构）必须确保辐射暴露量保持在“合理可实现的最低水平”——即 ALARA 原则。NRC 的提议将放弃这一理念，同时保留一个关于最大辐射暴露的独立标准。
这两项标准在辐射安全中协同工作。剂量限制设定了公众和辐射工作者可接触辐射的最大量，而 ALARA 则确保在这些限制之下，辐射暴露量尽可能低。研究表明，辐射暴露会增加一个人患癌症的概率，且风险随剂量的增加而提高。
剂量限制并未改变。但监管民用核能技术和放射性材料的 NRC 现在希望用一种“分级方法”取代 ALARA，该方法包括根据工作人员潜在的辐射剂量，设施必须采取的几项行动。在接近剂量限制时，将要求采取更严格的辐射防护措施，以确保不会超过限值。
与此同时，由于数据中心和人工智能的热潮导致电力需求激增，特朗普总统正试图将国内核能产量提高四倍。改革 NRC 是特朗普尝试加速核反应堆开发的一种手段。他在去年的一项行政命令中指示该联邦机构“采用基于科学的辐射限制”。
[[IMG_XXXX]] 佐治亚州韦恩斯博罗（Waynesboro, Ga.）的冷却塔。特朗普政府一直寻求扩大美国核电规模。
负责监督国家能源政策的能源部已经停止使用 ALARA。NRC 预计将在未来几个月内敲定其辐射防护条例。
NRC 主席 Ho Nieh 表示，委员会并没有降低安全标准。他在与记者的电话会议中表示：“我们只是在消除模糊性。但针对工作人员和公众的暴露标准并未改变。我们只是在提供更清晰的阐释。”
Nieh 预计，在该国现有的大型传统反应堆群中不会出现重大变化。但他表示，设计和建造新型小型反应堆的公司，在对辐射防护要求有更清晰的了解后，可能会推进得更快。
市级官员已投票支持限制洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 使用“借口拦截”（pretextual stops），并敦促警察委员会审查该问题。
...被剥夺了公正的纪律听证会，因为两人最初都由警察工会指派的一名存在利益冲突的律师代表。根据 Castronovo 的说法，该工会律师还代表了其他同意作证指控 Cancino 和 Lobos 的 Mission 地区警员。洛杉矶县的一名法官驳回了他们的上诉。
在 Cancino 之前，只有一名洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 警员因涉嫌种族定型（racial profiling）被开除，该案件发生在 2011 年。
根据加州司法部的数据，从 2016 到 2025 年，洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 警员共收到 4,878 起偏见指控。其中，仅有三起被认定属实。
该部门的率数与全州大多数其他执法机构相似。洛杉矶县治安警署（Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department）收到的...
在该时间段内，投诉数量大约减少了 10%，但仍有 6 起针对副警长的种族偏见指控在持续。
洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 的辩护者指出，任何公众成员都可以提交投诉，无论是否有支持证据，这导致出现了大量无法证明的指控。其他人则指出，佩戴式摄像头的出现有助于证明由犯罪嫌疑人或其他与该部门有积怨的人员提交的轻率主张是不实之词。
倡导组织 Catalyst California 去年发布的一份报告发现，在 2025 年，黑人驾驶员在所有因轻微交通违规而拦截的次数中占了近三分之一，尽管他们仅占全市人口的约 8%。
同一报告发现，拉丁裔人口约占洛杉矶人口的 47%，他们在所有交通拦截中被拦截的比例为 58%。
根据 Catalyst 的研究，拉丁裔被要求进行“同意”搜查的可能性最高达四倍，黑人最高达三倍。报告称，在这些拦截中，只有不到 1/10 导致了枪支或毒品的没收。
洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 官员对这些调查结果予以反驳，称目前还没有建立一套分析种族定型数据的成熟方法。官员们表示，许多因素会影响交通拦截的种族和族裔模式——例如发生拦截的社区的主要种族，或者该拦截是否导致了逮捕和定罪——在解读原始数据时必须考虑所有这些因素。
5 月，洛杉矶市议会 (Los Angeles City Council) 投票赞成限制使用“借口”
低于与健康影响相关的水平，并且它预计其余的标准和行业惯例将使辐射剂量远低于极限。这样做是有激励机制的——在辐射较高的区域工作成本更高且更耗时，因为必须限制进入且需要进行更多调查。
核工业贸易协会同意美国核管理委员会 (NRC) 的观点。
“我们将始终继续研究如何降低工人的剂量，并将场外公众的剂量维持在尽可能低的水平，”核能研究所 (Nuclear Energy Institute) 首席核设施官 Doug True 表示。“我们不会就这样把门大开，让一切都运行到极限。”
核能顾问 Justin Friedman 表示，ALARA 为监管创造了一个“移动目标”，他此前曾在美国国务院工作了三个十年。他补充说，取消这一规定将允许 NRC 的科学家在适当的可控风险水平方面做出更理性的决定。
改进 ALARA
忧心科学家联盟 (Union of Concerned Scientists) 核电安全主任 Edwin Lyman 警告称，NRC 提案的某些部分可能会在某些情况下提高允许的辐射剂量，尽管仍将保持在上限以下。Lyman 特别强调了针对放射性核素排放标准的拟议修订。
公众的辐射暴露限制为每年 100 毫雷姆。一次典型的胸部 X 光检查辐射剂量为 10 毫雷姆。
NRC 希望将其放射性核素排放标准从保守的每年 10 毫雷姆剂量提高到 25 毫雷姆。
“礼貌性”拦截，在这种拦截中，警察利用尾灯损坏或其他轻微设备违规作为正当理由将人员拦截，以便调查是否发生了更严重的犯罪行为。
活动人士和一些议会议员表示，他们希望禁止这种导致种族歧视的有争议手段。该措施敦促负责 洛杉矶警察局 (LAPD) 政策变更的警察委员会在今年内处理此问题。
民权与警察执业律师彼得·比布林 (Peter Bibring) 表示，洛杉矶警察局不愿承认警员的偏见，且在必要时不对其进行惩处，这只会加深社区与警局之间的裂痕。
“这个部门年复一年地在说：‘不，这种情况从未发生过，从未发生过，’”比布林说，“于是社区觉得该部门并没有认可这些正当的问题，也没有回应他们的关切。”
在一场针对 2019 年一次交通拦截而起诉的种族定型诉讼的证词录取过程中，一名洛杉矶警察局官员被问到，需要什么样的证据才能让一名警员被解雇。
原告是一名黑人男性，他起诉称自己被三名反帮派组警员拦截，对方将其铐住并涉嫌在没有合理理由的情况下搜查其车辆。原告律师问道：“如果你发现某个警员在过去一年中拦截了 2,000 人，而这 2,000 人全部是黑人，那么坐在今天的你，是否拥有足够的信息来判定仅凭这项数据就表明该警员在进行偏见执法的行为？”
根据证词记录，该洛杉矶警察局官员的回答是：“不。”

今年，这是基于一个住在核电站场地边界房屋内的假设人物得出的。
美国核监管委员会 (NRC) 表示，公众实际接收的剂量将保持在极低水平，因为在现实中，人们居住在离核电站更远的地方，并受益于大气和水中的扩散作用。
莱曼 (Lyman) 表示，NRC 应该改进而非取消 ALARA（尽可能低且合理原则），以保护公众和工作人员。莱曼说，ALARA 已成为政治攻击的目标，因为有些人错误地认为，无论成本如何，辐射暴露必须尽可能低。而实际上，该原则允许在权衡中做出选择。
前美国核能助理部长凯蒂·赫夫 (Katy Huff) 表示，在某些情况下，该要求在监管上可能具有挑战性。赫夫补充说，增加清晰度将改善监管环境且不会损害公众利益。

赫夫现任威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的教授兼系主任。
然而，赫夫表示，她认为 NRC 将在不废除 ALARA 的情况下，澄清其中“合理”一词的含义。她表示，如果有人能说服她分级方法同样有效，她愿意接受。
喜忧参半 由国会授权提供独立科学指导的国家辐射防护与测量委员会尚未正式发表意见。委员会主席凯瑟琳·希格利 (Kathryn Higley) 表示，她认可这份 180 页文档中的某些内容，但认为其他部分存在问题。
她说，NRC 应当从管理风险的全局视角出发。例如，如果核电站的工人进入一个存在空气传播放射性物质的区域，根据 ALARA 原则，他们可能会穿着带有呼吸器的全套个人防护装备，希格利（俄勒冈州立大学荣誉教授）说道。她说，这会导致他们的移动速度变慢，潜在地使他们承受热压力，而这种热压力对他们的伤害可能比低剂量的放射性更高。
希格利表示，该提案的一个担忧是，它将成年辐射工作者的现行职业剂量限值维持在每年 5 rem，或 5,000 millirem。在 ALARA 原则的实施下，工作者的平均剂量一直远低于该上限。
国际辐射防护委员会建议的职业平均剂量为每年 2 rem。NRC 此前认为，由于工作者接触的剂量低于该数值，且更改法规成本高昂，因此没有理由与该标准接轨。
希格利表示，如果 ALARA 原则被取消，美国可能需要与国际社会保持一致。
根据 CalMatters 获得的一份该州新造林战略工作草案，高强度野火已完全烧毁了 2.3 million 英亩的加州林地，导致这些树木不太可能自行恢复。
加州寄希望于森林能够储存碳、保护水源、净化空气并为野生动物提供栖息地。一份最近的分析报告指出，到 2071, 加州一半的森林面积可能会消失。
“重新造林，”美国林务局太平洋西南研究站的科学家马尔科姆·诺斯 (Malcolm North) 表示，“是非常该死的关键。”
然而，根据 加州林业与消防保护局 的说法，即使仅要重新种植该州四分之一的私有林地，加州就需要将种子库容量增加约 300%——这意味着需要更多种子、更多人员和更多空间。而且，这并不能解决联邦土地上的问题，而联邦土地占该州森林的一半以上，且涵盖了大部分需要重新种植的土地。
CalMatters 审阅了加州造林战略的一份工作草案。美国农业部 (USDA) 加州气候中心正与州和联邦机构、环保非营利组织“美国森林 (American Forests)”以及州长野火与森林复原力任务组共同制定该战略。
但萨克拉门托 (Sacramento) 和华盛顿在过去几十年里，一直任由用于恢复加州森林所需的资金和人员日益枯竭。
“我们需要将重新造林视为一项紧急任务，以州级层面来对待，”麦克莫罗 (McMorrow) 说道。“我们正在缓慢失去我们的林地，而且我们没能跟上进度。”
联邦员工流失
木材采伐曾为美国林务局的大部分植树造林工作提供资金。
但随着新法律加强了对濒危物种和其他公共土地的保护，国家森林的伐木量有所下降。同时，严重的野火也在增加。
这两者结合起来吞噬了林务局的资源和人员：根据一份 2015 年的报告，从 1998 年到 2015, 负责管理国家森林系统土地的非消防人员减少了 39%。
一份 2022 年的林务局文件警告称，随着需求不断增加，目前“迫切需要”增加“专门从事”重新造林的人员数量。

根据《时报》 2015 年的分析，大约 6% 的配水干管系统评级为 D 或 F。主干线的情况似乎比该公用事业公司的配水干线更好。根据洛杉矶水बिज与电力局 (DWP) 在 2022 年进行的一项调查，该机构提供的数据显示，主干线中评级为 D 或 F 的比例不足 1%。
洛杉矶是全美许多城市之一，正致力于解决一个埋在地下、耗资数十亿美元的艰巨问题。
与许多其他大城市一样，洛杉矶庞大的配水干管和主干线网络大多安装于 20 世纪之交，目前面临破裂风险，可能导致服务中断，并可能使社区被水淹没。
“这是一个非常困难的问题，而且社会整体在基础设施上的投入不足……特别是水利基础设施，”南加州大学 (USC) 土木与环境工程教授 Lucio Soibelman 表示。
洛杉矶的水管系统每天都会发生泄漏，但这很少引起关注，但过去十年中发生的几次较为严重的破裂事件再次引发了担忧。
2014 年，西伍德 (Westwood) 日落大道 (Sunset Boulevard) 上的一条主干线破裂，导致数百万加仑的水涌入加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 校园，淹没了数栋建筑，造成数百万美元的损失。
7 月 16 日，一条 110 年历史的铆接钢制主干线管道——该系统负责将水从水库和水箱输送到整个洛杉矶较小配水干线的关键动脉——在西好莱坞破裂。此次破裂在日落大道上留下了一个巨大的天坑，约 17 百万加仑的水涌入周边社区，导致商家关门，房屋和地下停车场被淹。
洛杉矶水बिज与电力局 (DWP) 制定了一项 $8-billion 的五年期水系统资本计划，以解决管道老化问题。
尽管如此，专家表示，该公用事业公司不太可能能赶在需求之前完成升级。DWP 官员承认，他们受到预算限制、人员不足、项目周期长以及维修规模巨大的限制。
“即使拥有无限的资金和人力资源，我们在工作量上也只能适度，以免给当地社区带来过重的交通影响，或对当地居民和企业造成过多干扰，”该公用事业公司的一位发言人告诉《时报》。
洛杉矶水बिज与电力局 (DWP) 计划在本财政年度更换约 45 英里的配水干线（这些管线将水输送到各社区的独立服务点）。根据管道年龄、泄漏历史、管道材质和地质条件等因素，其中 33% 的管线被评为更换的高优先级。据该公司称，另有 54% 被评为高-中优先级，13% 被视为中优先级。
该机构预计将更换略超过一英里的——
[[IMG_XXXX]] 一个小组准备将加权线投入管道以击落圆锥体。收集种子可能需要时间。

行政部门在 2021 年为森林造林信托基金提供了额外的资金支持，这一举措得到了环保非营利组织“美国森林” (American Forests) 的支持。仅仅几年后，林务局报告称，其在全国范围内重新种植了大约 285,000 英亩——这是四分之一个世纪以来最高的年度总量。
但需求依然远超行动，且联邦指导的工作周期漫长且艰苦。林务局的一位发言人表示，工作人员必须迅速清理枯死和濒死的树木，以降低对人员的危险以及再次起火的机会。在种植之前，寻找种子和培育幼苗可能就需要一两年时间。
联邦政府重新种植森林的能力
随着时间的推移，它被侵蚀了，而重建它需要时间，蒙大拿大学景观生态学教授索罗门·多布罗夫斯基 (Solomon Dobrowski) 表示。多布罗夫斯基的研究发现，西部地区的重新造林缺口涵盖数百万英亩，并且在未来几十年内可能会增加两到三倍。 “你不能在瞬间就让这艘大船掉头，”多布罗夫斯基说。 与此同时，特朗普政府大幅削减了林务局的预算。该机构去年失去了 20% 的员工。 “这简直让我夜不能寐……这基本上就像一个拿着破坏球乱挥的孩子，”休·萨福德 (Hugh Safford) 说道，他是加州大学戴维斯分校环境科学与政策部门的森林与火灾生态学家，以及前林务局区域生态学家。“士气低落，能力本就非常有限。” 而加州则在持续燃烧。
重新造林工作的缺口不断扩大
野火工作组主任帕特里克·赖特 (Patrick Wright) 表示，森林的损失是“气候变化和特大火灾中最不为人知的后果之一”。 CalMatters 获得的加州战略草案中没有专项资金。赖特表示，目标是将每一个试图重新种植加州被烧毁森林的机构和组织统一到同一个目标下。
[[IMG_XXXX]] 一名洛杉矶水बिज与电力局员工于 7 月 17 日在西好莱坞填补一个塌陷坑。
在本财政年度，该局将在全市范围内铺设一条干线。但在接下来的四年里，洛杉矶水बिज与电力局表示，计划将高风险干线的更换速度加快至每年 5 英里。该公用事业公司尚未具体说明计划如何为这种项目规模的扩大提供资金。 在洛杉矶，全市地下约有 547 英里的干线和 6,780 英里的分配管（即主管线）。该机构的资本改善计划中包含 40 多个干线项目，这些项目将从现在起一直施工到 2057 年。 根据该机构的说法，洛杉矶水बिज与电力局将世纪大道 (Century Boulevard) 靠近 LAX 机场的一条干线、一条向 Rampart Village、银湖 (Silver Lake) 和回声公园 (Echo Park) 供水的干线，以及另一条位于该市 Sunland/Tujunga 地区的干线列为今年的最高优先级更换项目。 洛杉矶水बिज与电力局首席运营官兼高级助理总经理安塞尔莫·柯林斯 (Anselmo Collins) 表示，该公用事业公司试图与其他部门协调，以便在可能的情况下同时进行其他公共工程项目，从而限制在特定区域挖掘的次数。 “我们尽量开展尽可能多的项目，同时确保不会在同一时间影响全市所有区域的交通，”他说。 但他补充道，这并不像简单地决定做哪个项目然后开始挖掘那样容易。官员们必须设计项目，获得必要的批准和许可，并与其他部门协调。

该战略要求简化规划，优先考虑解决关键的人员安全顾虑和生态系统问题（如水源供应）的项目，并增加种子、苗木和工人的供应。它敦促土地管理人员避免增加火灾的燃料，并建议以较低的密度和更自然的间距进行重新种植，而非采用经典的、密集排列的“直线排松”网格。科学家已将高密度种植与高严重程度的火灾联系起来。
然而，最令人震惊的发现来自该战略草案对当前景观的分析。加州需要每年将重新造林规模扩大 35%，才能实现该州现有的火后重新种植目标，该目标在 2030 年起为每年 280,000 英亩。报告称，这一增长将需要“大量资金”，因为重新造林的成本最高可达每英亩 $6,400。
但目前的进度滞后。
在全州范围内，自 2020 年以来，土地管理人员大约重新种植了 254,000 英亩被严重烧毁的森林——而仅在 2020 年至 2024 年之间，被高严重程度火灾剥夺森林覆盖的面积就有约 16%。在联邦土地（荒野地区除外）上，这一数字仅为 8%。
萨福德（Safford）表示，实际数字更加糟糕：在计入荒野地区并排除可能自行 regrowth 的森林后，他最近的研究报告显示，美国林务局仅在 2016 和 2023 年间重新种植了该机构在加州被山火使之光秃土地的 1.2%。
萨福德说，情况并非一直如此。直到 2006 年左右，林务局的重新种植工作基本能跟上山火的进度。“然后，”他说，“它就直接掉到了 [零]。”
“远未准备好”
尽管州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）与特朗普总统在加州森林的护理与管理问题上言辞激烈，但州政府和联邦政府的资金——以及人员——经常在同一片土地上交汇。在加州方面，加州林业与消防保护局 (Cal Fire) 资助并开展研究，并为私人、州政府甚至联邦土地上的森林恢复提供拨款。加州林业与消防保护局 (Cal Fire) 还运营着位于戴维斯（Davis）的重新造林中心，在那里的夏季酷暑中，成盘的幼小针叶树被喷雾加水。然而，加州林业与消防保护局 (Cal Fire) 这些工作的资金——由州预算、联邦拨款和其他一次性资金拼凑而成——仅占加州林业与消防保护局 (Cal Fire) 数十亿美元预算中一个相对较小且不断变化的份额。戴维斯的苗圃在 21 世纪初关闭，是全州预算削减的牺牲品。尽管种子库的冷冻柜一直运行，但重新造林中心直到……

“这相当复杂，”柯林斯（Collins）说。
为了防止渗漏演变成更大的问题，洛杉矶水बिज与电力局 (LADWP) 近年来部署了使用声学技术的团队，以在发生重大爆管之前识别微小渗漏。
“你可以连接到管道进行聆听，探测哪里可能存在渗漏，因为那里有水在流动，”柯林斯说。“这些是尚未在表面显现的渗漏。不幸的是，我们仍然会遇到确实存在渗漏且需要快速响应的情况。”
全国其他大城市也在应对老旧水务基础设施带来的影响。一项针对水务行业……
立法机构在 2017. 年找到了资金将其重新上线。扩大和升级该设施的预计价格标签为 $26.2 百万美元；今年的州预算包含了约 $1.2 百万美元用于资助初步规划。与此同时，其他资金面临风险。由纽森任命的劳伦·桑切斯 (Lauren Sanchez) 主导的加州气候监管机构在 5 月投票决定地对一项关键气候计划进行改革，这可能会大幅减少甚至取消每年高达 $200 百万美元的野火防御资金。重新造林补贴是该资金众多竞争优先级之一。尽管第 4 号提案 (Proposition 4) 气候债券包含了 $1.5 十亿美元用于野火和森林防御，但州领导层正在迅速耗尽该债券资金。“事实是，从基础设施角度来看，加州可能处于比任何其他西方州更好的位置，”萨福德 (Safford) 说道。
“这告诉你的是……美国西部地区的整体能力有多差，因为加州面对这种规模的挑战还远远没有准备好。”
Becker 为 CalMatters 撰稿。
由非营利组织美国水务协会 (American Water Works Assn.) 今年开展的行业领导者调查显示，基础设施的更新与更换，以及资本改进的融资是排名前两位的关注点。
该协会的另一份报告估计，在接下来的 25 年里，全美饮用水基础设施建设的总需求成本将达到 $2.4 万亿美元。为了填补这一缺口，从 2026 年到 2050. 年，每年需要额外投资 $56.6 十亿美元的资本——这是在目前支出之上的。报告称，否则水费将增加一倍多。
根据报告，如果完全通过提高水费来筹集资金，预计将有 30.4 百万户家庭在饮用水上的支出将超过其收入的 2.5%。
而且，给公用事业部门带来压力的不仅仅是更换老旧管道。在超过半数参与调查的公用事业高管看来，紧急维修或系统故障几乎总是会导致加班请求，从而拉紧预算并导致员工精疲力竭。
“还有一些社会不理解且我们没有评估的后果，”索贝尔曼 (Soibelman) 说道。“这件事的理想之处在于，如果社会能明白基础设施失效带来的成本规模有多大，我们终于可以投入更多资金，像应该做的那样维护我们的基础设施。”

圣迭戈 —— 在一段视频显示一名人士在加州海滩踢踹一只受保护的海狮后，联邦野生动物管理局正在展开调查。
美国国家海洋和大气管理局的一位发言人确认了对此事件的调查，但拒绝在周日提供进一步细节。
视频显示，在圣迭戈的拉霍亚湾（La Jolla Cove），一名人士向海狮踢腿，背景中可以听到至少另外一名人士在笑。在视频结束前，该人士在海狮试图迅速逃离时继续对其进行踢踹。
“NOAA渔业执法办公室正在调查社交媒体上关于一名个人与海狮在拉霍亚湾发生互动的视频报告，”该机构发言人表示。“在视频中，该个人似乎在踢踹海狮。这是一项正在进行的调查，我们目前无法提供更多细节。”

Rodriguez 将更具影响力的立法（例如一项禁止城市工作人员为移民与海关执法局工作的条例）视为自己最自豪的成就。

DAVID ELLISON 是 派拉蒙 的首席执行官。该公司可能面临巨额法律费用以及数百万美元的额外交易成本。
[派拉蒙，接 A1 页]
争论则持有不同观点。这次延迟可能会让作为大型媒体公司中规模最小的派拉蒙承担巨额法律费用以及数亿美元的额外交易成本。今年 2 月，为了赢得竞标，派拉蒙向华纳投资者提供了一项名为“滴答费”（ticking fees）的激励措施。这些费用将从 10 月起开始累积，在收购最终完成之前，每天将使派拉蒙额外支出 $7 million —— 直到收购最终完成。而且，如果派拉蒙未能完成合并，它将向华纳兄弟探索公司支付 $7-billion 分手费。“任何认为自己知道这笔交易如何收场的人都应该重新考虑，”Forester Research 总监 Mike Proulx 在一份声明中表示。“这笔交易最终可能会完成，也可能不会。……无论结果如何，实现路径现在都变得更长、更混乱，且可能更加昂贵。”
派拉蒙现在必须在加强其高风险审判申诉理由的同时，巩固现有业务并管理员工群体中的不确定性。它还必须维持一个由金融资助者组成的联盟，其中包括沙特阿拉伯、阿布扎比和卡塔尔的王室，他们共同同意出资 $24 billion 获取合并后公司的股权。
在美国地区法院法官 Araceli Martínez-Olguín 上周给予该公司沉重打击，禁止派拉蒙在 8 月中旬前完成收购后，派拉蒙改变了策略。紧随其后的是 Aug. 3 听证会，法官将决定是否延长该禁令。派拉蒙担心法官会在可预见的未来封杀这笔交易。“他们意识到了形势已不可挽回，”Bonta 在一次采访中表示。哥伦比亚法学院商学院教授 Eric Talley 补充道：“这并不意味着派拉蒙-天空之舞公开挥舞一面巨大的白旗，但这确实是一面小小的投降白旗。”
派拉蒙在声明中表示，直接进入审判阶段将是有利的。“这是证明此次交易有利于竞争、有利于消费者且有利于创作者的最快、最清晰的方式，”派拉蒙表示。“我们期待在审判中证明我们的主张。”
本月，美国编剧工会另行提起诉讼，寻求阻止此次合并，指称如果派拉蒙收购华纳兄弟，编剧将面临工作机会减少和薪资降低的问题。现在，合并将在诉讼获得解决之后，或在 June 1 之前完成，以两者中较早的日期为准。
“这就是我们从一开始就要求的，”Bonta 表示。“我们只是希望法院在没有公司合并威胁的情况下，有足够的时间审查我们的案件。”
Ellison 通过派拉蒙发言人拒绝了采访请求。Talley 表示，延迟带来了另一组挑战，包括将接管日期推迟到 11 月关键的中期选举之后，届时国会的控制权可能会发生变化。“这本身就可能产生干扰，”Talley 说道。“假设众议院或参议院发生易手，那么我们可能会在国会看到相关证词。”

(D-N.J.)、伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.）和亚当·希夫（Adam Schiff, D-Calif.）对此次潜在的合并表示担忧，认为这会减少传统电影制片厂的数量，并使 CNN 与 CBS 新闻一同落入埃里森的掌控之下。尝试要求埃里森在国会作证的努力均以失败告终。这位派拉蒙首席执行官拒绝了 2 月份出席参议院司法委员会反垄断、竞争政策和消费者权益小组委员会的邀请，同时也拒绝了布克（Booker）随后在 4 月份焦点听证会期间提出的出席请求。“急于完成这笔交易在多大程度上与中期选举有关，以及在即将到来的选举季中媒体报道将如何呈现？”塔利（Talley）问道。“CNN 并不是一个能赚大钱的资产，但它是华纳兄弟探索公司的一个显赫资产。”周五晚上，特朗普在白宫记者协会晚宴上赞扬了他与埃里森家族的友谊，但同时也批评了 CNN 的几位知名主播。特朗普赞扬了埃里森对 CBS 新闻的管理，称他“将要做出，我认为，极具影响力的变革，并保留一些优秀的内容”。自从埃里森家族在 8 月收购派拉蒙并任命记者巴里·威斯（Bari Weiss）担任 CBS 新闻主编后，CBS 新闻便陷入动荡。她主导了一系列具有争议的举措，包括对 CBS 晚间新闻进行大调整，并解雇了数名“60 Minutes”记者。派拉蒙取得了一次胜利：欧盟委员会批准了该合并在其代表的欧洲国家中的实施。该公司目前已获得超过 60 个管辖区的许可，其中包括美国司法部，后者认为这次合并可能会促进竞争，而非损害竞争。派拉蒙通过列举其获得的漫长批准清单，以强化其关于合并具有坚实法律基础的立场。派拉蒙的律师批评了由罗伯·邦塔 (加州总检察长) 及其他州总检察长发起的诉讼，称该团体在三个市场——广泛发行电影、潜在的商业大片以及有线电视集中度——上刻意筛选证据，而忽视了作为娱乐业未来的流媒体分发。现在，派拉蒙最大的挑战将是如何赢得这场官司。各州计划在双方进行数月的证据开示（discovery）以准备案件后，请求在 2027 年进行审理。“我们希望对员工进行录取证词。我们希望对这些受影响市场的客户和竞争对手进行录取证词，[并且]我们需要文件，”罗伯·邦塔 (加州总检察长) 表示。“我们要对他们的专家进行询问，并审查和测试专家的意见，”他说。“这一切都需要时间。”罗伯·邦塔 (加州总检察长) 和其他州总检察长在阐述诉讼理由时避开了政治格局。“这纯粹是一个典型的反垄断案件，”罗伯·邦塔 (加州总检察长) 说道。“这里的核心点在于，反垄断执法至关重要，因为削弱竞争的垄断行为会伤害普通民众。”“一旦进入审判，我们将获胜，”罗伯·邦塔 (加州总检察长) 表示。“因此，我们认为并希望这次合并永远不会发生。”

美国知识产权。 特朗普政府在周三指责 月之暗面 (AI 初创公司) 使用“秘密” 但未必违法的 方法，在 Anthropic (AI 公司) 的 Fable 基础上构建了 K3。 一些美国政治家和 AI 公司（包括 Anthropic (AI 公司)）指责 中国初创公司对其模型进行非法“蒸馏” 以提取其技术，北京方面否认这一指控，称其 “毫无根据”。
更便宜且 “足够好” 今年中国顶尖 AI 模型的快速崛起表明，中美 AI 竞赛已从去年初发生了变化。当时中国 初创公司 DeepSeek 震撼了 美国科技产业，并凭借一个性能与 美国模型相当但成本低得多的 AI 模型，让中国在地图上崭露头角。 专家表示，初创公司 Z.ai (AI 公司)（或称 Zhipu）在 6 月，以及月之暗面 (AI 初创公司) 在 7 月推出的 最新 AI 模型，其智能程度几乎与 OpenAI 和 Anthropic (AI 公司) 的前沿模型相当。 同样在 7 月，中国的阿里巴巴预览了其 Qwen3.8 Max AI 模型。4 月，DeepSeek 发布了其最新 V4 模型的预览，向 OpenAI 的 GPT 和谷歌的 Gemini 发起挑战。 这些 不断的 进步 正在结出硕果。 来自北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒的科技 高管 Curt Meinhold 表示，他 越来越多地 倾向于 使用 DeepSeek 来执行诸如 寻找商业机会或 生成销售方案等任务。 “归根结底， 我们大多数人，绝大多数人，90% 以上的人，并不 需要 [Anthropic (AI 公司) 的] Mythos 或 Fable，”创立了数字遗产 平台 LilyList 的 Meinhold 说道。“就像，我们 就是不需要它；我们需要 足够好的东西。” 美国投资银行高盛在 7 月的一份研究报告中写道，中国 AI 模型正处于被广泛采用的“关键阶段”，特别是当全球“代理型” AI 使用量激增——这要求 AI

随着中国开源模型日益接近领先美国公司所制造的闭源系统的水平，莫齐拉基金会的 Krikorian 表示，“开源前沿正变得日益‘中国制造’。”在美国衡量是否限制中国 AI 模型的同时，包括微软、Meta 和英伟达在内的一组美国科技公司在周五发布的一封公开信中对“开放”AI 模型表示支持。
一些专家表示，其他美国技术政策有时也会给中国带来优势。Z.ai (AI 公司) 在 6 月中旬发布了其 GLM-5.2 (AI 模型)，不久前特朗普政府对 Anthropic (AI 公司) 的 Fable 和 Mythos 模型实施了出口管制，导致这些模型离线超过两周。
Arena 的 Angelopoulos 表示：“限制一个美国模型可能会立即为中国竞争对手创造机会。”
寻求全球扩张
在中国，个人和企业迅速采用了在国家支持下繁荣的 AI 技术。华为和腾讯等中国科技公司也将 AI 嵌入到智能手机、AI 眼镜和人形机器人等设备中。
现在，中国正日益寻求在海外主导 AI。在上海的一次旗舰技术峰会上，中国国家主席习近平支持开源 AI 模型以及促进全球更大公平的重要性，同时承诺中国将参与提高 AI 能力，特别是在发展中国家。
正如中国许多其他行业一样，国内的激烈竞争正驱动企业向全球扩张。领先的中国 AI 初创公司目前正在筹集更多资金以支持这一努力，包括通过公开股票发行。
投资研究公司 Morningstar 的 Chelsey Tam 表示，中国和美国都将希望“鼓励广泛采用其 AI 生态系统，同时保护可能实质性增强战略对手的技术”。
Angelopoulos 表示：“竞争不再仅仅是美国对抗中国；中国实验室之间也在互相施加巨大压力。”
但与美国的情况一样，对 AI 的巨额投资也引发了人们对这些中国初创公司可持续性的担忧。例如，Z.ai (AI 公司) 报告称，其去年收入激增 132% 至 $107 million，但净亏损跳升 60% 至 $694 million。
目前，中国 AI 模型可能会继续前进，包括在美国。“我强烈建议任何进行严肃 AI 负载的人至少对其进行评估，”Krikorian 说道。

近期，陷入低迷的电动汽车市场获得了一批新车型的助力，这凸显出部分汽车制造商尚未放弃电池驱动汽车。
丰田汽车公司 (Toyota Motor Corp.) 第二季度在美国的电动汽车业务增长了两倍，部分得益于该品牌的 BZ Woodland 和 C-HR，这两款车型均在近几周内上市。斯巴鲁公司 (Subaru Corp.) 同样推出了两款新电动汽车——Trailseeker 和 Uncharted，助力该公司电动汽车销量翻番。
近期推出的车型使得美国消费者在第二季度购买的电池驱动汽车达到 247,226 辆，与今年前三个月相比增长了 15%，而年初通常是行业销售最疲软的时期。尽管总销量仍比去年同期下降了五分之一以上，但这提供了一个关键视角，用以观察在美国无需依赖多年来支撑交付量的联邦激励措施的情况下，电动汽车的有机需求情况。
“尽管发生了这一切，电动汽车仍凭借其自身优势获得关注，”非营利倡导组织 Plug In America 的高级研究员 Jess Senger 表示。
美国电动汽车销售的前景依然模糊。一些分析师预计，如果没有额外的激励措施，市场将在目前的水平附近停滞不前。然而，另一些人认为，汽油市场的持续动荡，以及福特汽车公司 (Ford Motor Co.)、Rivian Automotive Inc. 和 Slate Auto 推出的新型电动车型，将在年底前进一步刺激销售。

唐纳德·特朗普将他的总统任期变现的最新计划——向华尔街交易员出售提前预览其 Truth Social 平台帖子的权利——提出了两个重要问题。首先，这难道不是内幕交易吗？其次，如果这不违法，难道不应该违法吗？简短的答案是：可能不是。以及，是的，这绝对应该违法，但可能并不违法。情况是这样的：特朗普媒体与技术集团（Trump Media & Technology Group，简称 TMTG）通过一个信托拥有 52% 的股份，并控制着他的在线社交媒体平台 Truth Social，该公司目前正在出售特朗普 Truth Social 帖子的“实时”访问权。实际上，这将给该服务的购买者带来数秒或数毫秒的优势，让他们在竞争对手之前知道特朗普在 Truth Social 上发布了什么。对于华尔街的高频交易者或算法交易者（即 TMTG 瞄准的客户）来说，即使是最微小的时间优势也可能转化为数百万美元的收益。
特朗普媒体公司对其新服务绝非低调。据《金融时报》（FT）报道，推介单上写道：“当 @realDonaldTrump 发布 Truth（即在 Truth Social 上发帖）时，全世界都会做出反应。不存在可比的信号。”该公司甚至吹嘘计划从特朗普的帖子中大捞一笔。其官方公告称，该计划将产生“持续的收入流”，并预计这些销售将“成为公司一个具有重要意义的、持续的收入来源”。
“市场已经根据 Truth Social 的帖子在波动，”TMTG 临时首席执行官凯文·麦格恩（Kevin McGurn）在该公司 7 月 16 announcement of the serv- ice（注：此处对应原文 16 日）公告中表示。购买者将获得“一个直接的、获得授权的、实时的平台最能影响市场的 Truths 馈送”。该公司感叹，此前这些用户必须依赖对 Truth Social 进行“手动监测”。特朗普在 Truth Social 上拥有 12.9 million 关注者，并不是唯一在平台上发布“Truths”的人——他的儿子埃里克和小唐纳德等也发帖。但说正经的：人们唯一关心的帖子只有特朗普本人的。
[[IMG_XXXX]] 总统特朗普举起一张来自其 Truth Social 账户的图片。他的公司正在出售其帖子的访问权限。
TMTG 表示，它已经为该服务签署了客户，服务将于 8 月 1 日启动，并将在“未来一周内接纳更多合作伙伴”。TMTG 没有透露其数据馈送的成本，但《金融时报》报道称，目前报价最高可达每月 $100,000。
特朗普帖子的“实时”访问权是否能产生长期的收入流仍存疑问。特朗普的帖子对投资者有价值，因为它们聚焦于政府政策。但截至 Jan. 20, 2029, 当他离任且不再掌控政府政策时，人们可以合理地预期这些帖子的价值将会崩盘。因此，对于 TMTG 来说，现在就是出击的时机。在截至 March 31, 的第一季度中，该公司报告的收入为 $871,000，亏损为 $408.8 million。正如彭博社的马特·莱文（Matt Levine）所指出，一旦它以每个 $100,000 的价格出售仅三个 API，其大部分收入将来自出售特朗普的“Truths”。
我就该服务的法律及其他潜在影响询问了白宫。他们将我转交给 TMTG，而后者并未回……
[[IMG_XXXX]] SUBARU 的电动 SUV 包括左侧的 Uncharted 和 Trailseeker。一位分析师表示：“电动汽车正基于其自身优势获得关注。”
自从伊朗战争开始以来，对电动汽车感兴趣的驾驶者比例有所增加，且支持电池动力汽车和卡车的传播者比以往任何时候都多。根据 Plug In America 最近的一项调查，在电动汽车所有者中，95% 的人表示，其车辆的燃料和维护成本比燃油车更低。在同时拥有燃油车和电动汽车的家庭中，有 1, 四分之三的家庭电动汽车行驶频率更高。除了新车型外，电动汽车市场还受到一些较大的家庭款……
亲民的电动汽车（EV）找到了新的增长点。起亚公司（Kia Corp.）的 EV9 和现代汽车公司（Hyundai Motor Co.）的 Ioniq 9——两者均设有三排座椅——在本季度共吸引了 7,200 名买家，是去年第二季度销量的 2 倍多。
总部位于华盛顿特区的研究机构 Atlas Public Policy 的创始人尼克·尼格罗（Nick Nigro）表示，如果特朗普政府没有取消联邦激励措施并削减清洁空气法规，目前的电动汽车销量将大约高出 2 倍。尽管如此，他认为新一批电动汽车的推出时机恰到好处，与飙升的汽油价格完美同步。
“目前的地缘政治不确定性处于 23 年来的最高水平，”他说道。“这首先会让消费者在做决定时犹豫不决。但如果他们必须做出决定，他们会选择一个能让生活压力减轻的方案。”
与此同时，二手电动汽车依然是第二季度汽车市场最热门的板块，交易量比去年同期增加了 22%。事实上，需求如此之旺盛，以至于二手电动汽车价格飙升，扭转了历史上一直制约该市场的剧烈贬值率。
根据 Cox 的数据，自伊朗战争开始以来，美国二手电动汽车的平均交易价格上涨了 12%，达到 $38,342，这一增长率是二手燃油车的 2 倍。
尽管如此，二手电动汽车平均……
……响应我的信息。
出售对官方公告（例如特朗普的帖子）的优先访问权限是否合法，目前尚不明确。但从表面上看，这已经突破了伦理上的“卑劣”（skeevious）界限——根据《梅里亚姆-韦伯斯特词典》的定义，该词指“在道德或生理上令人反感：令人厌恶的，下流的”。
这也不是特朗普第一次试图利用其总统地位获利。7 月 1, 他的财务披露报告显示，他在 2025, 的收入跳升至 $2.2 十亿，其中 $1.4 十亿来自各种新的加密货币相关业务——而这正是他的政策所推广的资产类别。
“这是贿赂。这是贪污。这是利用公权力谋取私人财务利益，”圣路易斯华盛顿大学的政府伦理专家凯瑟琳·克拉克（Kathleen Clark）告诉我的同事珍妮·贾维（Jenny Jarvie）。
在特朗普发布政策声明之前的交易模式，长期以来一直引发人们对其核心圈子内存在内部交易的怀疑。去年 3 月，我对这种推测泼了冷水。
但在 2025 年 4 月 2, 特朗普宣布征收全球关税导致市场动荡，以及随后几天反复无常的跟进声明之后，我撤回了那个结论。对于任何知道椭圆形办公室第二天甚至下一小时可能会带来什么的人来说，获利的 opportunity 实在太大了。
这就把我们地引向了关于“Truth API”的法律问题，这项服务正由 TMTG 推销。（“API”即应用程序编程接口，它使软件系统之间能够直接连接。）
首先来看这是否构成了内部交易。关于内部交易的标准学说（如法律和证券交易委员会政策所代表的）关注的是使用属于交易者负有保密义务之人的重大非公开信息——例如，公司员工利用属于其雇主的信息进行交易。
“其理论是‘盗用’（misappropriation），”波士顿学院的雷妮·琼斯（Reneé Jones）表示，她曾任 SEC 的公司财务主管。“这是对信息来源的一种欺诈。”
这里的问题是，特朗普在线帖文中包含的信息所有权归谁。可以说，所有权不属于特朗普，而应属于美国政府或美国人民。因此，他在 Truth Social 上阐明自己决定的财务剥削行为，可以被解释为一种盗用……

...政府财产的处置。
随后是 2012 年的《STOCK Act》（股票交易法），该法禁止国会议员、其工作人员以及行政部门的雇员利用在履行公务过程中获得的非公开政府信息谋取私人利益。该法同样适用于总统和副总统。
“如果特朗普的公开声明是他个人的财产，那么他可以出售关于这些信息的内容，或者随心所欲地处理，”科罗拉多大学的商业法专家安·利普顿（Ann Lipton）观察到。
利普顿表示，特朗普的帖子“并非特朗普的个人财产；那是关于总统采取行动的信息。……特朗普不允许利用这些信息进行交易，或通过向他人透漏信息来换取个人利润。”
在一段令人不安的分析中，利普顿指出，这笔交易“给了特朗普一个激励，让他发布比平时更多能影响市场的信息”，因为他必须保持发布频率，才能让这个 API 看起来物有所值。“这给了他作为总统的动力，根据什么能驱动市场……而非根据什么对美国人民最有利，来更改或披露政府政策。”
TMTG 可能找到了一个巧妙的方法来规避法律限制。根据其公告，Truth API 不会在特朗普发帖前提供访问权限，而是提供“该平台最具市场影响力真相（Truths）的实时馈送”——换句话说，即在发帖的同时提供。TMTG 似乎在暗示，由于特朗普已经发布了这些内容，因此这些信息已经是公开的。API 买家获得的是即时访问这些帖子的优势，而无需等待这些信息在市场中缓慢传播。
无论如何，特朗普作为政府信息的创建者、传播者，以及通过其私有公司寻求利润的人，使得 API 的合法性问题比大多数内幕交易或《STOCK Act》事实模式所提出的问题更为复杂。
“这可能是内幕交易法、《STOCK Act》或关于政府雇员利用政府信息谋取私利的通用规则从未考虑过的情况，”投资者权益非营利组织 Better Markets 的证券政策主任本杰明·希夫林（Benjamin Schiffrin）表示。这里的政策问题可能不在于特朗普是否违法，而在于 Truth API 在多大程度上为资深市场参与者提供了又一项优势，而代价则是其他所有人的损失。金融市场自称是公平的竞技场，但人们普遍理解，它们向资深的富有玩家倾斜。特朗普从未表现出对公平竞技场的热爱——事实上，他的职业生涯及其在任期间的行为，通常表明他热衷于将竞技场向有利于他自身、其朋友或财务伙伴的方向倾斜。
即便 Truth API 是合法的，它也绝非是对公平的推动。这仅仅是特朗普在白宫期间为自己敛财的另一种方式。

特朗普总统一直在寻找维持美国经济周围关税壁垒的方法。周五，他针对来自 60 个美国贸易伙伴的进口商品征收两位数关税，表面理由是这些国家在防止强迫劳动生产的进口产品方面做得不足。但这些征收范围之广——覆盖了 99% 的美国进口商品——表明了另一个动机：替代特朗普去年实施但随后在二月份被最高法院推翻的全球关税。这些强迫劳动进口税恰好在周五凌晨 12:01 生效——而这正是特朗普在最高法院挫败后实施的临时全球关税到期的时刻。这些征收措施并不令人意外。它们与美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔 (Jamieson Greer) 在六月份提出的方案几乎完全相同。尽管如此，它们立即引起了美国贸易伙伴以及美国批评者的猛烈抨击，后者指出，关税是由进口商（即从其他国家购买商品的企业）支付的税款，且通常会通过更高的价格转嫁给消费者。“这是企图以不同的名义重启特朗普非法全球关税的公然尝试，”参议院财政委员会最高级别的民主党人、俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登 (Ron Wyden) 表示。“这些最新关税将继续使美国人的通货膨胀和物价保持在高位，而对全球工人毫无帮助。”一个名为“自由正义中心” (The Liberty Justice Center) 的自由意志主义倡议组织已经向一家专门的贸易法院对新关税提起诉讼。特朗普旨在振兴美国制造业的高关税战略，也给总统带来了政治风险。随着 11 月 3 日选举的临近，美国人对高昂的生活成本已经感到沮丧，而这次选举将决定特朗普领导的共和党是否能继续完全控制国会。以下是我们所了解的情况：
最新关税 有何不同 新关税对来自 60 个经济体的进口商品征收 10% 至 12.5% 不等的税率——包括欧盟、印度、日本、加拿大和墨西哥等美国主要贸易伙伴。12.5% 的税率适用于没有禁止强迫劳动产品进口法律的国家。10% 的税率适用于设有强迫劳动进口限制，但在特朗普政府看来执行不力的国家。 特朗普豁免了部分产品免于缴纳新关税，包括石油和化肥、根据北美贸易协定享受优惠待遇的进口商品，以及此前因国家安全理由而被征收关税的钢铁和铝制品。 周五的新税项是根据一项更持久的贸易法实施的：即《1974年贸易法》第 301 条。该条款允许总统对被发现从事不公平贸易行为的国家征收进口税并实施其他制裁。特朗普在第一任期内曾利用第 301 条对中国征收大额关税，且这些措施在法院挑战中得以维持。 企业——以及随之而来的消费者——仍在为之前实施的其他征税买单。仅在第二任期内，特朗普就根据《1962年贸易扩张法》第 232 条，对来自特定部门的一系列产品增加了关税。这包括目前仍然有效的进口汽车、钢铁、铝、木材甚至橱柜的关税。 在去年大部分时间里，特朗普还通过援引《1977年国际紧急经济权力法》，对世界上几乎每个国家征收所谓的对等关税和其他更广泛的关税。但正是这些关税在二月份被最高法院推翻，迫使政府支付巨额退款。 与此同时，周五到期的此前 10% 征收额设有时间限制。这是因为特朗普是根据另一项法律——《1974年贸易法》第 122 条实施的，该条款仅允许征税 150 天。
企业的 反应如何
新的关税在很大程度上已在预料之中，许多企业通过提前增加货物出货量做好了准备。本月，美国国家零售联合会（National Retail Federation）和 Hackett Associates 预测，由于零售商在预期的关税上涨前囤积库存，美国主要集装箱港口的进口量将在 7 月达到历史最高记录。由于周五生效的关税与之前的 10% 征收额非常接近，牛津经济研究院（Oxford Economics）指出，美国关税的整体有效税率在短期内不会有太大变化。但所有人的目光都集中在特朗普政府未来采取 301 进一步征收附加税的可能性上——这再次增加了企业的不确定性。美国国家零售联合会在周五重申，更高的关税会导致“企业主成本增加”——从而导致消费者面临更高的价格。该贸易组织在一份声明中表示：“我们鼓励政府将重点放在与我国贸易伙伴签署能够通过降低而非提高关税来真正开放市场的贸易协议上。”鞋类分销商与零售商协会（Footwear Distributors and Retailers Assn.）总裁兼首席执行官马特·普里斯特（Matt Priest）周五表示，由于预见到新关税，其鞋类制造商在近几个月已经开始向零售商提高价格。他指出，去年鞋类品牌还可以与工厂合作分担增加的成本，但购物者现在已经开始看到更高的价格标签。他表示，与 2025 年 6 月相比，6 月份整体鞋类价格上涨了 4.1%，而儿童鞋价格上涨了 4.7%。他预计，随着企业吸收伊朗战争导致的更高燃料成本，价格将继续上涨。普里斯特说：“目前我们在市场上看不到任何能够压低价格的因素，这是一个令人担忧的问题。”
强迫劳动正当化理由
特朗普政府再次以目标国家未能采取足够措施防止强迫劳动产品进口为由，为其最新关税提供正当理由。
“美国已经实施了近一个世纪的强迫劳动进口禁令，并严格执行；我们的贸易伙伴也早就应该这样做，”美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔（Jamieson Greer）表示。
这一论点迅速引发了主要贸易伙伴的强烈反对。澳大利亚贸易部长唐·法雷尔（Don Farrell）抨击这些征税“完全不合理”，欧盟外交政策负责人卡娅·卡拉斯（Kaja Kallas）在指出其所在大陆劳动条件“非常好”的同时，对特朗普政府的立场提出质疑。
华盛顿内部也出现了批评之声，且很大程度上分党派之见。
“特朗普总统在打击强迫劳动方面并不认真，”众议员琳达·桑切斯（Linda Sánchez，民主党-惠蒂尔）在 X 平台的一篇帖子中写道。“如果他是认真的，他不会将全球最严重的强迫劳动滥用国之一的中国，与澳大利亚等国家适用相同的关税税率。”
在周五的关税政策下，中国和澳大利亚都面临 12.5% 的新税率。
各行业的贸易组织此前也强调，如此规模的关税对于解决全球强迫劳动问题几乎没有作用。
“强迫劳动是一个复杂且多方面的议题，拟议的关税无法解决这一全球性问题，”强迫劳动工作组（Forced Labor Working Group）——成员包括美国国家零售联合会、美国商会等——在 7 月 6 日给格里尔的一封信中写道。他们在政府调查期间呼吁美国采取“更有影响力”的措施来应对强迫劳动。
关税对美国财政部的意义
特朗普那注定失败的《国际紧急经济权力法案》关税为美国财政部带来了意外之财，产生的收入有助于支付总统 2025 年的大规模减税计划。在这些进口税全面生效后，美国关税收入在 10 月达到峰值，超过 $31.4 billion。随后，在最高法院...

多年来，辞职成为一名社交媒体影响者，一直被认为与搬到好莱坞或尝试进入 NFL 处于同一类别：技术上可行，但最好让别人去尝试。现在，对于越来越多的年轻工作者来说，这似乎成了一个更切实可行的职业转型方向。
TikTok、Instagram Reels 和亚马逊店面的兴起，创造了一种新型的白领退出策略——在这种策略中，员工放弃办公室工作，并不一定是为了成为名人，而是通过品牌合作、联盟链接以及记录日常生活的极具个人色彩的视频，在网上拼凑出一份收入。
在许多情况下，维持生计所需的粉丝数量比人们想象的要少（且更容易实现）。一个规模虽小但忠诚的受众群体，现在就能产生足以与中级薪资相媲美的收入。欢迎来到中产阶级创作者经济。
去年，25 岁的 Abi Platock 在纽约从事一份企业营销工作，同时利用业余时间在网上发布内容。她通过每天发布一到两段视频来积累受众，提供职业建议、美容技巧和日常 Vlog。
“我签的第一笔品牌合作协议金额在四位数范围内，对我来说，那真的是一个大开眼界的时刻，”Platock 在谈到与除臭剂品牌 Secret 的合作时说道。当时她在 TikTok 上拥有 8,000 名粉丝。“你完全可以在没有数十万粉丝的情况下让这件事运转起来。”
Platock 目前在各平台拥有大约 25,000 名粉丝，今年已签署了约 $25,000 的品牌协议，并预计到年底她的年度创作者收入将达到 $50,000 左右。她的经历反映了广告业的一个更广泛的转变。品牌方正越来越多地将资金转向所谓的“微影响者”——即粉丝数少于 100,000 人的小型网络红人。
“他们正在大规模雇佣一群微创作者，而不是雇佣少数几个宏创作者，而潜在成本可能相同，”创作者管理公司 Digital Department 的联席首席执行官 Ali Grant 表示。
而且他们在最关键的指标上表现更佳：参与度。Grant 在谈到这个被密切关注的指标（用于追踪粉丝通过点赞、评论、分享和保存与内容互动的频率）时表示，3% 的参与率就被认为是强有力的，而一些微影响者甚至超过了 10%。
根据增长营销机构 ATTN 的数据，微影响者的平均参与率为 3.2%，几乎是宏创作者（拥有超过 1 million 粉丝）1.1% 参与率的三倍。而且根据美国营销协会的一项研究，尽管宏创作者产生的收入大约是前者的六倍，但其相关成本可能会高出约 18 倍。
Grant 表示，与一名拥有约 50,000 粉丝的创作者在 TikTok 上进行合作，品牌方单次发帖的费用可能超过 $3,500；而如果粉丝数量增加 10 倍，该费用可能仅增加至三倍，约为 $10,000。
Bonsa Nemera 的工作日是在纽约的一家政府运营牙科诊所里进行 12 小时的轮班。在业余时间，他向大约 100,000 名粉丝在 TikTok 和 Instagram 上发布从口腔护理技巧到美食评论的各种内容。这位 28 岁的住院牙医年薪为 $76,000，并表示他今年通过内容创作签署了约 $180,000 的协议。“我在两个月内赚到的钱，几乎是我全职工作一年收入的两倍，”他说道。
Nemera 表示，他的专业可信度在受众中引起了共鸣，且...
[[IMG_XXXX]] 新的关税影响 60 个美国贸易伙伴。上图为洛杉矶港。
法院推翻了征收令，资金开始枯竭。3 月和 4 月的关税征收额均降至 $22 亿。由于退税支票发出的速度快于第 122 条款及其他关税收入的进入速度，该数值转为负数：出现了一个小额（$42 million）的缺口。
5 月份的损失之后，6 月份又出现了高达 $25.6 billion 的巨额损失。
负责任预算委员会（Committee for a Responsible Budget）主张减少联邦预算赤字，该委员会计算出，新的强迫劳动关税——结合特朗普本月宣布的针对加拿大和巴西的征税——将无法弥补在最高法院废除 IEEPA 关税时损失的 60% 的收入。

品牌。他的观众对他提供的个人财务内容尤为感兴趣，尽管他没有接受过正式培训，但他会提供资金管理和投资建议。这些帖子为他赢得了与 Intuit Inc. 旗下的 Credit Karma 和 Block Inc. 旗下的 Cash App 等主要金融科技公司的合作伙伴关系。随着其在线影响力增长，他表示预计将减少从事牙科实践的时间。“我对待内容创作的态度就和我对待牙医工作一样，”他说，“甚至更加严肃。”
网红营销经济规模预计在 2025, 将达到 $33 billion，高于 2015. 的 $1.7 billion。康奈尔大学传播学教授布鲁克·达菲 (Brooke Duffy) 表示，在 COVID-19 疫情之后，由于对传统工作的不满，许多人开始重新考虑传统的职业路径，该领域因此获得了动力。“他们意识到，在时间、精力和人力资本投资方面的权衡，不一定值得为此牺牲如此多的个人自我，”她说。
根据 Glassdoor 的数据，在线成功可以带来更大的自由——甚至比许多传统的办公室工作获得更高的薪水，后者的美国薪资中位数为 $69,000,。但中产阶级的这种奋斗仍然需要不断的努力来维持。这种职业没有终身稳定性的保障。与传统工人不同，创作者没有可预测的工资单或工作保障，这使得职业稳定性难以捉摸。
根据 Influencer Marketing Hub 去年的一份报告，在 3,000 名受访的全职创作者中，大约 57% 的人从内容创作中获得的收入低于生活工资。社交媒体的收入可能会因算法的变化、赞助周期和平台趋势而每月剧烈波动。
“你可能会在某个月份赚到零元，或者在某个月份赚到 $10,000,，”普拉托克 (Platock) 说。这种波动性是格兰特 (Grant) 的原因之一，她的营销机构代表了 300 多名网红，她通常只签约年收入至少达到 $200,000 的创作者，她将这一门槛视为业务已步入正轨的证据。
内梅拉 (Nemera) 预计今年通过内容创作将赚到 $450,000 以上，且在假期前会有大幅增长，他表示他对创作者经济的未来持有疑问，但计划只要能坚持就尽可能留在该行业。“我开始把创作当成一项业务，我真的只是试图尽可能少花钱来实现增长，”他说。
即便有经纪人的支持，普拉托克对全力投入社交媒体仍有保留。当来自 TikTok 和 Instagram 的收入开始接近她的月薪时，她决定离开全职岗位，但她仍通过补充方式……

……她通过一份市场营销兼职工作和教授普拉提来补贴她的网红收入。随着网红职业变得更加获利，关于这份工作需要投入多少精力的争论也随之引发。2022 年，美妆网红 Mikayla Nogueira —— 她目前在 TikTok 上拥有 17.4 million 粉丝 —— 抱怨其工作强度的一段视频再次被翻出。“试着当一天的网红吧，因为那些说这很容易的人简直疯了，”她在那个现已删除的帖子中说道。反击立即接踵而至，数千名观众指责 Nogueira 脱离群众。康奈尔大学的 Duffy 表示：“人们对抱怨这件事有某种偏见，因为网红们号称拥有这些梦想职业。”去年发布的盖洛普 (Gallup) 民调数据显示，美国的员工参与度已跌至十年来的最低水平，更多工人将自己的状态描述为“挣扎”而非“繁荣”。受影响最严重的群体包括 Z 世代以及金融和技术行业的从业者。更广泛的职场挑战，包括快速的组织变革、混合办公与远程办公的转型，以及不断提高的员工预期，被认为是这一整体趋势的驱动因素。对于许多劳动者来说，做网红似乎是一笔更好的交易：灵活的时间表和独立性，包裹在创意与趣味的外壳之下。根据 Morning Consult 2023 年的一项调查，近 60% 的 Z 世代表示，如果有机会，他们会成为一名网红。当然，创作者的大部分劳动是不可见的。在一条帖子背后，可能是花费数小时规划脚本、剪辑视频以及与品牌方沟通 —— 这些是观众极少能看到的工作。而同样的经济波动也使得在内容创作领域维持生存，与在传统工作中一样困难。

特朗普总统与伊朗各执一段打结的绳子两端；双方都需要解开这个结，但却只知道如何加强掌控并用力拉扯。双方都极切地希望这场战争结束，但无法通过军事手段获胜，也无法通过谈判获得让步。
唯一的替代方案是让国际社会将谈判权从当事方手中接管过来。特朗普可以通过将美国塑造为赢得战斗，并称现在是其他国家接手处理外交清理工作的时候，从而走上一条不损害自尊的退出通道。一个由北约和中东国家组成的联盟可以在他们内部制定一项协议。
条款是可以预见的：任何一方对另一方的军事行动都将导致协议失效。霍尔木兹海峡被永久认定为国际水域。伊朗在不依赖航运收费的基础上获得财务补偿。
核武器和弹道导弹问题的解决可以暂时搁置，因为国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）向立法者保证，伊朗的军事力量被削弱了“不仅仅是数年”，而可能是“数十年”。以色列和伊朗的地区代理人将不在讨论范围之内；美国不能仅仅因为这些当事方不满而承诺维持一场战争。
这场战争带来的明确教训是，除非进行全面入侵和政权更迭，否则美国在伊朗的目标无法通过战争实现，而基于伊拉克和阿富汗战争的教训，民众对此并无意愿。随着“轻松战争”的幻象被戳破，希望这能为未来的外交手段带来新的尊重。

纳比·布洛斯 (Nabih Bulos) 撰写的这篇文章极具见地，很好地解释了为什么与伊朗的战争并没有朝着特朗普及其顾问和盟友所希望和预期的方向发展，以及为什么结束战争的前景似乎不乐观。这篇文章值得一个更好的标题——
你的身体，你的孩子以及你的银行账户。当我试图理解我女儿身上发生了什么时，我也在试图防止一场财务灾难。在分娩几周后，我就回到了工作岗位。
这段经历塑造了我多年的倡导活动。我撰文探讨怀孕歧视、在职挤奶、黑人孕产妇死亡率，以及女性在承担这个国家声称珍视的劳动时所付出的经济代价。我与立法者交流，并在将母亲身份转化为就业政策、公共卫生、法律保护和立法变革的领域工作。
多年来，我一直相信，如果母亲们能提供足够的数据、证词和道德清晰度，这个国家最终可能会诚实地面对它欠我们的东西。
随后，疫情使得这种隐藏的交易无法被忽视。学校关闭。育儿服务崩溃。工作仍在继续。家庭吸收了这些冲击，而父母——尤其是母亲——往往被要求在替代周围已消失的系统之时的同时，继续履行工人的职责。
这个国家称我们为“坚韧”，这通常是它在不打算修复……
那些令她们精疲力竭的客观条件。 现在，当女性说她们不想要孩子时，我不会告诉她们她们会改变主意的。 我理解她们。 并非每一个不想要孩子的女性都在做出经济或政治声明。有些人仅仅是不想成为母亲，而这种选择不需要任何辩护。但一个担心出生率下降的国家，不能忽视女性被期待在其中生育、恢复、赚钱并抚养孩子的物质条件。 美国职场依然围绕着一个“理想工人”来组织——这个工人没有身体，没有孩子，没有年迈的父母，没有疾病，没有悲伤，也没有照顾责任。 为人母亲揭露了这个虚构的谎言。 我们并没有围绕人类生活的现实来重建工作模式，以支持所有父母和其他照顾者，而是不断要求家庭为了适应工作而自我扭曲。 当系统已经让休息变得难以负担时，雇主并不需要强制要求一名母亲在伤口痊愈前就返回工作岗位。 无薪休假如此说明。房租如此说明。医疗保险如此说明。学生贷款如此说明。托儿费账单如此说明。 而那种要求她保持随叫随到、心怀感激且冷静从容的职业期待，也如此说明。

在特朗普与伊朗的战争中， 有两点令我关注。 美国人民 至今仍不清楚这场战争 最初为何爆发，且在 他发动攻击后，霍尔木兹海峡 出现了一种此前并不存在的局面。 他所谓的“协议” 根本没有弥补后者。 与此同时，五角大楼 面临巨大的资金缺口。 完全是一场惨败。 罗伯特·兰格利尔 (Robert Langelier) 海梅特 (Hemet)
关于“凯撒的争议处理程序引发改革呼声”， 7 月 20 日
仲裁糟透了。 50 年来，我一直担任证券业仲裁员，并在多个论坛的数百起案件中代表公司和客户。在我看来，关于仲裁比走法律程序更省时省钱的陈词滥调，在很大程度上是虚幻的。
仲裁员的资质通常与证券法或程序的实际知识几乎没有关系。相反，那些在该领域没有接受过有效培训的人，基本上被指示根据他们的看法来“实现正义”。这听起来可能很有吸引力，但在高风险的财务纠纷中，这往往意味着在缺乏坚实法律基础的情况下进行随机决策。
在倡导严肃改革多年后，我觉得自己像唐·吉诃德——在一种旨在抵制实质性变革的结构中挑战风车。 莱斯·格林伯格 (Les Greenberg) 卡尔弗城 (Culver City)
当女性要求能够让抚养孩子更具可持续性的基础建设——带薪休假、负担得起且可负担的育儿服务、产妇医疗保健以及能养活家庭的工资——时，孩子被视为一种私人的生活方式选择。然而，当政治家讨论出生率下降、家庭价值观或未来劳动力时，母亲这一身份突然变成了国家关注的问题——政治家们开始沉溺于如何鼓励更多美国人多生孩子。
对于那些已经在抚养孩子的人，支持在哪里？那将传递一个强有力的信号。相反，根据劳工部的数据，在某些县，照顾一名孩子的费用可能高于租金。这同样传递了一个信号。
美国并不像热爱“关于母亲的故事”那样热爱母亲：孕肚、性别揭晓派对、母亲节早午餐、政治家抱着婴儿的竞选照片。当我们的牺牲是沉默的时候，它最爱我们——我们的身体、我们的收入、我们的睡眠、我们的心理健康，我们的职业。
考虑成为母亲的女性正在阅读细则。生孩子吧，但不要抱怨成本。生孩子吧，但不要期待带薪休假。生孩子吧，但育儿服务则是
关于“选民想要民主党左翼提供的东西”， 观点之声 (Opinion Voices)，7 月 17 日
正如专栏作家 LZ 格兰德森 (LZ Granderson) 恰当地指出的，在更倾向于社会主义的治理下，大多数美国人的经济前景将会改善。但近年来，民主党一直不愿宣传向社会主义转型。
问题在于，广大选民群体很容易被操纵而排斥“S-word”（社会主义这个词）。尤其是那些信奉模糊口号“让美国再次伟大”的人，而没有一个共和党政治家敢于详细阐述这个口号。
共和党人当然知道，在信息匮乏的群众中，简单地喊出“MAGA”会勾起什么样的记忆。即：对 20 世纪中叶的朦胧回忆，当时相对不受限制的资本主义发挥了魔力，并受到战后人口激增的刺激，这为资本主义著名的繁荣提供了不断扩张的市场。
此外，选民群体容易受到共和党将社会主义与共产主义不断混淆的影响。尽管民主党的社会主义提案可能很合理，但它们面临着强大的阻力。 罗伯塔·赫尔姆斯 (Roberta Helms) 圣芭芭拉 (Santa Barbara)
关于“The Bowl 的新音响怪兽”，7月 18日
卡罗琳·卡斯特 (Carolyn Kaster)，美联社
你的问题。可以生孩子，但不要让为人母影响你的工作表现。可以生孩子，但如果学校在 11 点打电话来，你得想办法既做一个完全投入工作的员工，又做一个完全投入的家长。 我尊重那些意识到不生育孩子可能是一种自我保护行为的女性。我拒绝对她们撒谎。在我职业生涯的太长一段时间里，我一直请求美国重视母亲；而在我个人生活的太长一段时间里，我则在学习美国其实多么不重视母亲。 带薪休假不是一项福利。育儿服务不是一种个人享乐。孕产妇健康不是一个分众议题。这些条件决定了家庭是否能在不崩溃的情况下度过平凡的生活，更不用说面对危机了。 为人母给了我许多无法言表的东西。但它夺走的也比这个国家愿意承认的要多。这两者可以同时成立。我可以热爱我的孩子，但依然可以说我不会再次选择这条路。我可以敬畏母职，而无需将其他女性招募进一个破损的系统中。 在询问女性为何选择不生育之前，美国应该问问自己，是否已经做了足够多的努力，才配拥有她们的母职。

几十年来在我们美丽的好莱坞剧场 (Hollywood Bowl) 观看过众多音乐会，我是改进后音响效果的忠实支持者。我不再需要费力去听那些较轻或较柔和的乐段。 我也不再会被那些滚落在观众席山坡上的翻倒酒瓶所分心。强大的音响系统有助于屏蔽其他观众的交谈声。 我期待参加更多的演出，因为我知道我可以享受美妙的音乐，而不再受到往年的干扰，也不会受限于较弱的音响能力。 谢谢你，好莱坞剧场！ 拉蕾恩·米勒 (Laraine Miller) 诺斯里奇 (Northridge)
马克·斯威德 (Mark Swed) 疑惑“新增强的声波是否只会让情况变得更糟”。 他的问题已经得到了答案。 根据上周六三支水准平平的摇滚乐队的演出，那个超强扩音效果简直震耳欲聋，令人心碎。 它没有给那些平庸的音乐增加任何价值，而这些演出是我们季度订阅会员的既定阵容，并非个人选择。 剧场在现场音乐会开始前的两个小时里播放了大分贝的录制音乐，使这次预订失误雪上加霜，导致我们四个人在露台层的包厢里吃晚餐时，必须提高嗓门才能交谈。 新的“音响怪兽”系统需要进行一次重大调整。 多琳·布雷弗曼 (Doreen Braverman) 洛杉矶 (Los Angeles)

1936年关于在城市 街道和人行道上进行 球类运动的禁令。
作者：Sandra McDonald
1936, 还没有视频游戏 让孩子们留在室内。 大多数家庭 没有电视机。 由于担心在街上玩耍的孩子 会被车撞到，洛杉矶 将在街道或人行道上 打棒球、篮球、 足球或任何其他球类运动 定为轻罪。 近一个世纪后， 当孩子们在户外花费的时间 仅为他们父母的一半时， 市议员 Bob Blumenfield 希望将这项模糊的法律 从法律条文中删除。
Blumenfield 撰写了一项 启动该程序的动议，他称这项法律 及其 $1,000 的罚金 和最高六个月的监禁惩罚 “极其愚蠢”。 Blumenfield 表示， 如果家长在自家门前 的人行道上与孩子 玩接球游戏， 这就构成了犯罪。 他代表圣费尔南多谷 (San Fernando Valley) 西南部。 同样，一群孩子在安静的 住宅区街道上踢足球 也会违反法律。
该法律还禁止 在“任何街道、人行道或 任何公共公园内、上方、 横跨、沿途或之上 投掷‘石头、弹丸、 子弹、箭或任何其他 飞行物’”。它禁止在 公共公园内进行球类运动， 除非在指定的球场

或场地内。 “让孩子们玩吧，” Los Feliz 社区委员会的 Olsen Ebright 说道。“ 看在上帝的份上， 为什么我们要让城市 试图遏制踢足球或 扔美式足球？” Ebright 表示，在公共土地上 进行锻炼（只要在安全且 有监督的情况下）所带来的益处， 超过了受伤或财产损失的风险， 例如棒球击碎了 邻居的窗户。
Blumenfield 去年 8 月提出的动议 在 1 月份的市议会投票中 获得了全票通过， 当时仅 Blumenfield 缺席； Los Feliz 社区委员会 也表示支持。为了推进该项工作， 市检察官办公室需要起草语言——

高中 学术课程 要求
加速了审查 SAT 和 ACT 考试的 计划。
作者：Jaweed Kaleem
随着加州大学 (UC) 启动一项 全新的、更快速的计划 以决定是否恢复 SAT 标准化考试， 该大学的招生委员会 也正采取行动重新审查 影响深远的学术要求， 这些要求甚至深入到了 加州高中的课堂： 即学生为了入学 必须修读的准确课程集。
这些要求决定了 加州青少年在填写 申请表之前很久就学习的内容。 由于加州大学在全州 规模巨大且影响力深远， 该大学的课程要求 决定了志向远大的学生的 高中学业生涯。
本周三，UC 学术委员会 （该系统范围内教职员学术参议院的 执行机构） 命令大学招生委员会 审查这两个问题。 委员会宣布， 该委员会将首先研究 标准化测试， 并在 12, 2027, 之前 向学术委员会提交报告。 校董会将重新——
旨在阻止阿罗约 塞科 (Arroyo Seco) 清理计划
作者：Mack Baysinger
在南帕萨迪纳 (South Pasadena) 和海兰公园 (Highland Park) 之间，有一片由墨西哥风扇掌和一些橡树组成的小型荒野。一些当地居民表示，他们热爱这里的原貌，包括涂鸦、火灾隐患在内的一切。但帕萨迪纳市政府表示，该地需要被用于过滤大肠杆菌和锌污染，这些污染物破坏了阿罗约塞科的水质，而该水系随后流入洛杉矶河。
阿罗约塞科发源于安格尔斯国家森林 (Angeles National Forest)，蜿蜒穿过拉卡纳达-弗林特里奇 (La Cañada Flintridge)、阿尔塔迪纳 (Altadena)、帕萨迪纳和南帕萨迪纳，最后进入洛杉矶。这项水质清理项目引起了几个社区团体以及该地区部分民选代表的抗议。邻居们已针对该市发起了诉讼，社交媒体上也有规模日益扩大的活动，旨在叫停该项目。
帕萨迪纳计划移除圣帕斯夸尔公园 (San Pascual Park) 旁两英亩林地中一些密集分布的树木，以便为被本土植物和步行道环绕的新湿地腾出空间。
该市将在约五个月的时间内，移除数千立方码的土壤和植物——每天相当于六辆翻斗车运走量。
将在 2027 年 6 月之前就是否要求 SAT 或 ACT 考试给出建议。
随后，招生委员会将转向高中课程要求，并在 2027 年 5 月向委员会提交一份初步报告；校董会将在之后不确定的日期处理任何课程变动。加州大学 (UC) 学术参议院主席 Ahmet Palazoglu 将此次课程审查界定为一个开放性问题，旨在探讨“在快速变化的教育环境中，UC 如何定义和评估大学就绪度 (college readiness)”，而非旨在增加或削减要求。
目前的进度比不久前看起来要快。
上个月，招生委员会公布了一份研究测试和课程要求的路线图，随后在 July 10 突然撤回且未作解释，导致该大学最受关注的辩论之一陷入停滞。校董会主席 Maria Anguiano 此后表示，招生辩论过于“狭隘地”集中在测试上，并呼吁“重新审视我们如何定义和评估大学就绪度”。
UC 领导层表示，新计划并未改变此前路线图的范围。
该计划将建立渗透池，并拓宽其上方的溪流路径，以最大限度地利用土壤过滤水质，使水流减速并在重力作用下渗入地下，以补充含水层。
2010, 洛杉矶区域水质控制委员会的一项决议设定了流域内允许的最高细菌水平。为此，帕萨迪纳和南帕萨迪纳为该水资源回收项目争取到了近 $15 million 的资金。
帕萨迪纳表示，由于未能降低细菌含量，该市面临来自委员会每天高达 $10,000 的罚款，但目前尚未实施。
乍一看，为了一个面积大约只有两个足球场大小的地块而如此大动干戈似乎有些过分。但对于社区成员来说，像圣帕斯夸尔遗址中那片郁郁葱葱的植被丛这样未铺路、未修剪的区域，是该市有限绿地中极其宝贵的一部分。
“他们将进入那里，用推土机把整个地方全部推平，彻底抹除，然后安装这些蓄水池，最后在周围种一些植被，”阿罗约塞科守护者 (Stewards of the Arroyo Seco) 组织执行主任 Tim Brick 说道。他将此描述为

Myung J. Chun 洛杉矶时报 反 ICE 活动人士哀悼死者
周六，一名抗议者在帕萨迪纳参加集会，这是旨在纪念被美国特工杀害人员的大规模行动的一部分。
作者：Brittny Mejia
周六上午，约 50 名示威者聚集在帕萨迪纳 (Pasadena)，作为一项全国性行动的一部分，旨在纪念在特朗普政府期间，因移民执法行动以及在拘留中心中失去生命的人们。他们的脖子上挂着由黄色细线串起的传单，上面印着自 2025 年 1 月以来去世的 75 人中部分人的面容和姓名。每张照片上方都印着“被 ICE 杀害”的字样，其中包括当地居民 Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez，一名 52 岁的人士，去年在试图逃离袭击蒙罗维亚 (Monrovia) 一家 Home Depot 的移民执法人员时被杀。这些洛杉矶居民来自圣盖布里尔山麓不可分割 (San Gabriel Foothills Indivisible) 团体，他们挥舞着美国国旗，举着写有“不要 ICE，不要战争”和“停止 ICE 谋杀”的标语。
“帕萨迪纳，早上好，”该团体的组织者 Betsy Hanger 在走过一个十字路口时，对着扩音器大声喊道，“为民主鸣笛。如果你想让 ICE 现在就离开我们的街道，请鸣笛。” 随着驾驶员们表达支持，周围响起了一阵阵喇叭声。组织者 Andra Clarke 双手各持一面横幅，上面写着“邻居们说：ICE 滚出去”。她脖子上的标语印着 Francisco Gaspar-Andrés 的姓名和照片，这名 48 岁的人士于 12 月在德克萨斯州的一家拘留中心去世。
现年 61, 岁的 Clarke 表示，自 3 月以来，该团体每周六都会在科罗拉多大道 (Colorado Boulevard) 和费尔奥克斯大道 (Fair Oaks Avenue) 的交汇处聚集。本月，他们纪念了民权活动家 John Lewis。但本周六，他们的关注重点是 ICE。
“现在已有 75 人死在 ICE 手中，”Clarke 说道。“我们最初被告知：‘哦，他们会追捕罪犯，那些最坏中的最坏的人。’那是谎言；事实并非如此。”
“他们针对的是社区，针对的是有色人种。这就是法西斯主义。任何关心人性的人都应该关心正在发生的事情。”Clarke 表示，当她得知最近两起死于 ICE 之手的人员伤亡时，内心深受打击。这次活动也是一次守夜活动，旨在纪念 52 岁的 Lorenzo Salgado Araujo——他在 7 月 7 日在休斯顿驾驶建筑施工队前往工地时被一名 ICE 探员杀害，以及 25, 岁的 Johan Sebastian Guerrero——他在本月初缅因州的一次交通拦截中被一名 ICE 警员开枪击毙。
“就像是在说，又来了？这根本没有尽头。感觉这种邪恶永远不会结束。”
接近正午时，Clarke 使用扩音器大声地宣读了数十名死者的名字。在读完每个名字后，Hanger 会敲击一个颂钵，震动声在他们所在的角落回荡。有时，她读到的是“身份不明的男子”或“四名身份不明的女子”。在他们旁边是一块海报板，上面贴着 Da- 的照片
... 31 岁的女性 菲·米歇尔 (phy Michel) 在匹兹堡的一个公交候车亭被发现失去意识，此前美国移民海关执法局 (ICE) 将她释放到“寒冷的冬季环境下，且未对其精神健康发作提供护理，也未通知其亲属”。
“让我们为所有那些被带走的人静默片刻，”克拉克 (Clarke) 说着，低下了头。
在聚集听讲的人群中，有 65 岁的南帕萨迪纳居民 莱蒂西亚·洛佩兹 (Leticia Lopez)。当她谈到听到又一起与执法行动相关的逮捕或死亡事件所产生的影响时，她的声音在颤抖。
“这触及了我的内心深处，”她说着，拍了拍自己的胸口。“情况没有好转，反而更糟了。我觉得我必须做点什么。”
洛佩兹穿着一件写着“移民不是罪犯，但总统是”的衬衫，她说她的母亲和祖母曾被强行从亚利桑那州遣返回墨西哥。
她的母亲在墨西哥长大，后来在那里遇到了她的父亲。她的父亲在 1950 年代作为临时农业工人 (bracero) 移居美国。她说，听到如今的故事，“触发了她们曾经经历的一切”。
“当我看到这一切发生时，我感受到的是一种世代相传的创伤，”她说。洛佩兹表示，她身边的人在公共场合都随身携带护照和文件，以证明自己的公民身份。

2026年世界杯于7月19日落下帷幕，西班牙以1-0击败阿根廷，但这次赛事在许多洛杉矶人心中依然占据主导地位。
在洛杉矶举行的八场比赛中，超过560,000名球迷填满了SoFi体育场的座位，吸引了来自世界各地的球迷——他们足够幸运，能够以超过$1,400的转售价格买到一张抢手票。体育场外，酒吧、海滩和地铁站成为了戏剧冲突与胜利的剧场，最终演变成全城后继派对和赛后庆祝活动中持续数小时的狂欢。
对于有些人来说，洛杉矶在一段时间内仿佛发生了蜕变。尽管不同的社区支持不同的球队，但体育场内和观赛派对上出现了一种久违的团结氛围。而对于其他人来说，这次世界杯仅仅强化了他们一直以来与洛杉矶联系在一起的价值观：文化包容、强烈的自豪感和迷人的坚毅。
由于这次赛事可能在一段时间内不会再次回到美国——根据国际足联 (FIFA) 的一项规定，主办国必须等待两个赛事周期，即八年，才能再次举办——我们请当地居民分享他们对今年世界杯最珍视的回忆。以下是他们在39天和104场世界杯比赛中将永远铭记的内容。
[[IMG_XXXX]] 墨西哥球迷在6月11日球队赢得世界杯首场比赛后跳舞庆祝。
这些回复为了清晰起见经过了轻微编辑。
埃夫林·胡亚雷斯 (Evelin Juarez)，雷赛达 (Reseda) “看着整个社区聚集在一起为墨西哥在世界杯上的表现而观看和庆祝，从参加洛杉矶各公园的观赛派对，到不同地点的FIFA球迷嘉年华，再到酒吧、餐厅和家庭住宅。通过墨西哥队的比赛所展现出的热爱与文化，其观赏和体验感非常惊人。”
埃里克·多伊奇 (Eric Deutsch)，洛杉矶 “在几天的时间里，世界停止了。停止了争斗。停止了仇恨。停止了争吵。我们听到关于美国究竟多么伟大的故事。绝佳的食物。绝佳的人民。伟大的国家。我们甚至再次享受了牧场酱 (ranch dressing) 和《Take Me Home, Country Roads》这首歌。我们被提醒这个国家是多么美丽，世界之小，我们所有人都可以和谐相处。我希望在最后一次开球之后，这种情感依然能保持下去。”
被带走，被ICE（美国移民与海关执法局）绑架。当我的儿子出去时，我很担心，”她在谈到她28岁的儿子时说道。
当天下午晚些时候，在距离那里约四英里外的帕萨迪纳 (Pasadena) 家得宝 (Home Depot) 商店外，组织者在地上插了数十个白十字架，上面贴着死者的照片——其中大多数是男性。守夜活动的参与者在这个临时公墓的十字架前献花。
“被ICE枪杀，”其中一个十字架上这样写着，并附有基思·波特二世 (Keith Porter Jr.) 的照片，他被一名在加利福尼亚州的非在岗ICE官员杀害。
其中几个十字架记录了死亡发生的详细经过。一名男子在佛罗里达州逃避ICE袭击时被一辆拖车撞击身亡。一名古巴移民在拘留中心死亡（他的死后来被判定为谋杀）。一名墨西哥国民在加利福尼亚州的一次袭击中坠落30英尺身亡。
十字架照片中的还包括蕾妮·古德 (Renee Good) 和亚历克斯·普雷蒂 (Alex Pretti)。
“我们要等到再死70个人才采取行动吗？”国家日薪劳工组织网络 (National Day Laborer Organizing Network) 的教育工作者马洛姆·波蒂略 (Marlom Portillo) 在将更多十字架插进地里时问道。
“他们想让我们做的是忘记他们，”波蒂略补充道，“我们永远不会厌倦谴责这种暴行。”
“还有更多的人...
“死去的人有多少，而这里抗议的人却这么少，”门罗维亚（Monrovia）居民凯瑟琳·瓦利（Kathleen Vallee）对她的朋友观察到。“这充分说明了我们的问题。”
瓦利表示，当她参加“没有国王”（No Kings）抗议活动时，现场“挤得水泄不通”。而这次守夜活动在开始 20 分钟后，周围仅聚集了十余人。
“这让我感到恶心，”瓦利双手合十说道。“这就像是从下水道渗入我们民主制度的污垢，这激励了我。”
随着小规模人群的聚集，示威者们举着写有“每个人都是神圣的”、“我们守护彼此安全”和“邻居们要求 ICE 滚出去”的标语。一名女性拿着一块手工制作的标语，上面写着：“下一个被抓的会是谁？”
谢丽·洛克纳（Sheri Lochner）是一位 64 岁的门罗维亚居民，她是东帕萨迪纳社区防御角（East Pasadena Community Defense Corner）的一员，这是一个为日薪劳工“提供支持和社区归属感”的小团体。洛克纳说，她目睹了移民局特工在 10 月 1 日的一次 ICE 突击搜查中，在门罗维亚的家得宝（Home Depot）带走了六七名男子。
“太不符合美国精神了，”洛克纳在审视那一排排十字架时说道。“这不对。”
她补充说，她的母亲在第一次选举中投票给了特朗普，但现在也认同她的观点。“我会发声，我绝不沉默，”她补充道。

以及万字饰（swastikas） 在帕萨迪纳被作为 仇恨犯罪调查。
作者：Jasmine Mendez
上周，帕萨迪纳一幅深受喜爱的壁画被涂鸦，出现了反犹太主义信息和万字饰，当局正对此仇恨犯罪展开调查。 根据洛杉矶县警长办公室阿尔塔迪纳分局（L.A. County sheriff’s Altadena station）的消息，该事件发生于周五，地点在帕萨迪纳非建制地区的北阿尔塔迪纳大道（North Altadena Drive）1400 号街区。调查人员尚不清楚涉及多少名嫌疑人。 周日，拉比约什·拉特纳（Josh Ratner）告诉《时报》，一名住在寺庙附近且在该会众中生活的成员发现了这次破坏行为。 据帕萨迪纳犹太寺庙与中心（Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center）称，这幅以一朵巨大的亮橙色罂粟花为特色的壁画是“希望、韧性和团结的象征”。该中心曾在 2025 年伊顿大火（Eaton fire）后呼吁修复这幅壁画。那场毁灭性的火灾烧毁了 9,000 多个建筑，造成 19 人死亡。 “这幅壁画是通过许多人的远见和慷慨而诞生的，”寺庙在 Facebook 的帖子中写道。“我们对这一行为深感悲痛和愤怒，但我们拒绝让它定义我们的社区。” 拉特纳表示，这并不是这座被毁寺庙遭遇的孤立破坏事件。今年早些时候，寺庙仅存的外墙也遭到了类似的涂鸦毁坏。 “这幅壁画建立在

聚集的厄瓜多尔人挥舞着旗帜，跳舞并继续庆祝活动。 “比赛结束后，我和朋友们去小东京的一家酒吧观看日本对阵突尼斯的收官之战。在短短几分钟内，我们从吃恩潘纳达（empanadas）转为喝日本高球（highballs），并加入日本支持者的行列，目睹他们的国家以 4-0 获胜，占据主导地位。 “虽然这可能只是一个简单的地点和比赛的切换，但它是一个深刻且温柔的提醒，提醒我们这项运动的力量以及洛杉矶的美丽。世界杯给了我们每个人一个以自豪感肯定自己身份的机会，而洛杉矶在历史上一直是一个欢迎这些高尚行为的地方。我们的原籍国可能被距离、语言甚至文化所隔开，但在这一夜，洛杉矶是一座让我们所有人团结在一起的城市。”
莱诺尔·洛文（Lenore Lowen），拉布雷亚（La Brea） “我丈夫买了两张票，在原农夫市场（Original Farmers Market）的一个球迷区观看美国对阵澳大利亚的比赛。没有什么比在周五与几百人一起在停车场地待几个小时，在大屏幕上观看足球赛更惬意的了。”
芭芭拉·海尼（Barbara Haney），帕洛斯弗德斯庄园（Palos Verdes Estates） “那是我们在阿罗湖（Lake Arrowhead）住宅的年度七月假期，恰逢世界杯足球赛，我们的有线电视信号传输得非常好。我和丈夫陷入舒适的皮沙发中，准备好来自
“……是对之前那次涂鸦行为的回应，”他说。
根据该会堂的网站显示，其办公地点已在场外运行一年多。这座拥有 100 年以上历史的寺庙在火灾中被化为瓦砾。
该会堂于 1921 年以帕萨迪纳 B’nai Israel 寺庙（Temple B’nai Israel of Pasadena）之名成立，曾是犹太人的避风港；当时，犹太人与其他少数族裔群体因排他性契约而被禁止在帕萨迪纳及周边地区购买房产。
1941, 该寺庙搬迁至目前的 Altadena Drive 所在地。该会堂在 1949. 更改了名称。具有考古学背景的资深成员 Kristine Garroway 去年接受《时报》采访时，谈到了会堂内一幅可追溯至 20 世纪 20 年代的壁画，尽管其真实来源仍然未知。
由风景画家 Miriam Hellmann 创作的现代壁画上写着：“我们彼此负责。”寺庙方面表示，目前正与调查人员合作并寻求修复该壁画。目前尚不清楚 Hellmann 是否会重新加入该项目。
Ratner 表示，在第一次破坏事件发生后，现场安装了摄像头。他说，寺庙已将监控录像提供给当局。

AI 带来了需要专门监管的风险。”现在，挑战在于如何通过该法案，且是以一种有意义的、而非被削弱的形式通过——在一个由金钱和唐纳德·特朗普驱动、并因对两者的谄媚而陷入瘫痪的功能失调的国会中，这并非易事。不过，如果有人能成功，那一定是奥本诺特（Obernolte），他是那种极其罕见的立法者，既懂科学又懂同事。奥本诺特代表圣贝纳迪诺周围的内陆帝国地区，但他是在电影《战争游戏》（War Games）刚刚上映的时代在弗雷斯诺长大的。有一定年龄的人会记得，当马修·布罗德里克饰演的高中天才角色无意中闯入一个军事 AI 系统下棋，而名为“约书亚”的计算机却失控试图毁灭世界时，这看起来多么荒诞。当然，现在看来这就像是一个普通的周二。到他自己上高中时，奥本诺特已经能与那个布罗德里克饰演的角色相媲美了。奥本诺特显然是个计算机天才，在大多数人还在雅达利（Atari）上玩《乒乓》（Pong）时，他十几岁时就在参加人工智能竞赛。随后，他前往加州理工学院（Caltech），然后进入加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）攻读 AI 高级学位。他说 AI 是他的“初次召唤”，这源于他 8 岁时父亲给他买了一台 Apple II 电脑。在获得硕士学位后，他最终从 UCLA 退学，因为他制作视频游戏（包括《NFL ’95》）的副业被证明比做一个饥饿的学生更有利可图。他最终创立了自己的视频游戏公司 FarSight Studios，并积累了接近 $100 million 的个人净资产。对于一个来自弗雷斯诺的孩子来说，这还不赖。在国会中，他始终紧贴 MAGA 权力核心，是七名投票反对认证 2020 年选举结果的加州立法者之一，而这次投票发生在他就职之初。他多次获得特朗普的认可，目前在多个相关的委员会和分委员会任职。在过去的几年里，他一直努力（尽管尚未成功）建立一个监管 AI 的框架，将他对技术的深刻理解与他对 MAGA 厌恶干预商业的同等理解结合起来。然而现在，由于科技公司犯下的不止一次大错，我们迎来了一个契机。就在几个月前，在 Anthropic (AI 公司) 质疑军方如何使用其 AI 之后，该公司与五角大楼发生了一次紧张的接触。愤怒的皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）至今对此仍耿耿在心。公众对于允许 AI 行业自我监管正变得日益怀疑，这促使立法者重新思考其放任不管的做法，即便 AI 的资金正像尼亚加拉大瀑布一样涌入选举。甚至连特朗普似乎也更倾向于考虑此事，他最近签署了一项行政命令，在很大程度上要求 AI 公司采取自愿约束。非党派组织“法律与 AI 研究所”（Institute for Law & AI）的高级研究员查理·布洛克（Charlie Bullock）写道，《前沿法案》（Frontier Act）的推出“表明了奥弗顿之窗在短短几个月内发生了多么大的偏移”。“不久前，这样一份优秀且严肃的两党法案还只是一个幻想”
梦想。但情况变化很快。”Obernolte 表示，该法案“经过了长期的酝酿”，但他希望将其与其他立法打包处理，并“谨慎乐观”地认为可以在年底前促成某项方案的通过并签署。按照目前的写法，该法案将允许联邦政府设定最低安全要求，并建立一个由获得许可的独立审计师监督合规情况的框架。这种第三方验证一直是安全专家们极力推动的关键点。该法案还将赋予政府紧急权力，在 AI 模型存在“当前或即将发生的灾难性风险”时暂停其运行。它还借鉴了包括加州的 53 号提案（Proposition 53）在内的州法律，要求 AI 公司在出现问题时提供一定程度（尽管还不够）的透明度。令一些人不安的是，该法案仍然限制了各州自行监管的权限——基本上是将 AI 监管划为联邦势力范围。在 AI 监管的斗争中，这一直是一个巨大的分歧点，因为 AI 公司厌恶州法律并希望将其废除。他们的理由是，各州零散的规则组合过于复杂。“你不会希望在市场上销售的每一件产品都要面对 50 个不同的州级要求，对于 AI 而言更是如此，”Obernolte 告诉我。在某种程度上这是合理的——但到目前为止的问题是，像加州和纽约州这样的州一直是唯一愿意尝试监管的政府层级。特别是加州，制定了迄今为止最全面的 AI 监管法规，在本立法季有大约 30 项关于此问题的待决法案。《前沿法案》（Frontier Act）试图通过创造一些州仍可通过自身法律的通道来在两者之间寻求平衡——例如围绕保护儿童或制止色情内容的消费者安全领域。但防止灾难性风险将在很大程度上依赖于联邦监管，如果联邦政府能够胜任这项任务，那将是件好事。然而目前，我们甚至无法控制麻疹的传播。所以这有点令人担忧。而且 Obernolte 的法案并不是唯一在竞争关注度的方案。另一位加州人，众议员 Ted Lieu 与 Nathaniel Moran（德克萨斯州共和党人）共同提出了一项两党协作的措施。这项被称为《AI 紧急开关法案》（AI Kill Switch Act）的措施将授权国土安全部关闭有问题的模型。路易斯维尔大学的教授 Yampolskiy 表示，该法案同样具有前景，因为对于公司来说，拥有一种能够“快速禁用或遏制表现出危险或意外行为的系统”的手段至关重要。但他警告说，这仅仅是我们所需的“完整解决方案”的一部分。
监管将需要不止一部法律。就 Obernolte 而言，他表现出了致力于寻找实际解决方案（而不仅仅是政治解决方案）的意愿。单凭这一点就值得关注。《前沿法案》是一次真诚的尝试，旨在治理一个过于强大且不可预测、不能任其自生自灭的新兴产业。“我希望我们能够达成一个所有人都能理解并感到满意的结果，”Obernolte 说道。“AI 不应该成为一个党派议题，我认为它也不应该是。”

加州大学表示，此次审查将权衡“目前要求的以及建议的课程数量和学科领域”。将领导此次工作的录取小组——招生与学校关系委员会 (Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools)——将咨询州教育委员会代表及 K-12 学科专家。
加州大学学术参议院的 Palazoglu 在一份声明中表示，教师领导者“将继续与学科专家、K-12 合作伙伴及其他利益相关者协作，仔细研究加州大学如何才能最好地提高加州学生的学术准备情况、学生成功率和教育机会”。
这些担忧并非新鲜事。在现已废弃的 6 月路线图下，一个独立的教师工作组原本将审查这 15 门课程是否需要更改。在宣布该计划时，加州大学的招生委员会表示，这些要求“可能过于规范/僵化”，且可能无法“有效地应对不断变化的劳动力需求、AI 的广泛采用，以及加州大学教师对准备工作的担忧，以及持续的”

加州大学的测试要求和课程政策多年来一直在随着申请入学的学生而演变。
学生学习方式的转变，以及学生将知识和技能应用于当前现实世界场景的需求。”
这些问题也延续到了周三宣布的审查中。
相关要求涵盖七个领域：两年的历史、四年的英语、三年的数学、两年的科学、两年非英语语言、一年的视觉与表演艺术，以及一门单一的“大学准备”选修课。这些要求比加州高中毕业所需的条件更为严格。加州大学 (UC) 还“强烈”建议修读第四年数学，并建议修读第三年科学。
数学在加州大学（UC）中尤其成为一个争议焦点，一些抱怨学生数学能力下降的教授认为，通过 SAT 分数筛选申请者有助于招收准备更充分的大学一年级新生。
由于加州大学（UC）和加州州立大学（CSU）共享课程要求，它们实际上定义了面向大学的加州高中生的课程路径。
一份由加州大学校长办公室为校董会准备的报告发现，加州 200 多万名公立学校学生中，98% 的学生能够接触到加州大学要求的完整课程。报告称，完成该课程的毕业生比例已从 2015-16 (16) 学年的 45% 上升到 2024-25 (25) 学年的 54%。
据加州大学招生官员称，只有不到 1% (1) 的加州大学申请者和录取学生仅修读最低限度的 15 门课程。大多数学生修读 20 到 30, 门课程。
这并非首次出现课程要求——尤其是数学——成为紧张关系的焦点。
2013, 年，加州大学批准了由洛杉矶统一学区提交的一门数据科学课程，以扩大数学选择；到 2020 年，允许此类课程替代高级代数。但在 2023 年和 2024, 年，加州大学教职员招生委员会撤销了该决定，认为 3 门最受欢迎的数据科学课程在代数内容上过于薄弱，不能计入要求。
本月在加州大学旧金山分校向校董会发表讲话时，加州教育委员会主席琳达·达林-哈蒙德（Linda Darling-Hammond）表示，课程表过于“拥挤”且被拉向多个方向。其中包括立法增加的教育项目，如族裔研究和金融素养，以及全州范围内推动的大学和职业路径，以及与社区学院双重注册项目的扩张。

Darling-Hammond 描述了一个在努力跟上经济变革步伐的系统，在这个系统中，学生们越来越多地在大学之间流动，并将学术课程与实际的职业培训相结合。 她支持这项审查，认为它是“我们在加州受益的一个非常重要系统”的必要演进，同时指出了 UC (加州大学) 在全国范围内成为特例的原因。“没有其他州既制定了明确的录取要求，又实际批准每一门课程及其内容，”Darling-Hammond 说道。

大流行——课程政策 这些政策在过去几年 中也随之演变。 UC 的报告称，相关 要求在 20 世纪 30 年代 就已纳入 UC 的规则， 到 60 年代初期达到 15 门课程，并在 1999, 年将视觉和表演艺术 增加为一个类别。 自 2010 年代以来，UC 还更新了其课程标准， 以匹配全州学术标准， 例如共同核心州立 数学标准和下一代 科学标准。 除了数据科学方面的 争议外，另一项努力 原本将使一学期的 族群研究成为新的 录取要求，但作为 全系统学术议会一部分 的 UC 教职员议会 在 2025 年 4 月投票 否决了该提议。 在本月的一次董事会 会议上，教职员和学生 就 UC 录取问题（包括 课程要求）发表了激烈的 讨论。 部分数学系教职员 警告不要放宽要求。 加州大学伯克利分校的 数学教授 Svetlana Jitomirskaya 在一次访谈 中表示，她和其他人 担心重新评估课程名单 的努力是一个“危险的 特洛伊木马”， 并警告说，代数 II 不应成为被“砍掉”的 对象。 其他人出于不同原因 支持保持课程现状。 总部位于洛杉矶的大学 预科服务机构 Rath Tutoring 的创始人兼总裁 Eric Rath 在访谈中表示，大学 应保留现有的基准， 他将其描述为一个 门槛系统。“学生们 要么跨过这个门槛， 要么不能，”他说。 学术与学生事务委员会 的学生观察员 Teesha Sreeram 敦促大学 继续关注准入机会。 “扩大对严谨课程的 准入机会，是我们能为 加州学生做出的最有效 投资之一，”Sreeram 说道，并提醒董事会 “大学准备情况并不 止于录取。”

Allen J. Schaben 洛杉矶时报 水务改造进展缓慢
西好莱坞的一处 METRO 巴士车库在日落大道水管破裂后被淹。
[接 B1 页 Lopez 报道]
汽车，它们已经交付了。伍德罗·威尔逊总统在铺设那根管道的那一年再次当选，当时德国人在第一次世界大战的凡尔登战役中进攻法国，死亡人数超过 700,000。从那时起，水流在日落大道多次更迭的形态下通过该管线流动，为更小的管道供水，滋养着一座从约 500,000 人扩张到 4 million 人的日益增长的大都市。上个月，某天晚上我随朋友们从 Book Soup 走到 Dialog 喝酒。如果我们是在 7 月 16, 那样做，我们可能已经被冲到海里去了。Dialog 的店主 Tadeh Ghazalian 前几天仍在评估他餐厅的损失。他戳了戳后楼梯的台阶，受水浸的瓷砖像泡软的盐饼一样碎掉了。水，维持生命所必需，却能摧毁其路径上的一切。“这简直是灾难性的，”Ghazalian 告诉我，他说他不知道什么时候才能让员工重新工作并再次接待顾客。LADWP 拥有大约 6,800 英里直径在 4 英寸到 20 英寸之间的管道，以及额外的 570 英里的大型干管。其中许多管道一直运行到报废之日，而它们的“葬礼”与我们对待人的方式截然相反。我们将死去的“士兵”从地下拔出来并运走。DWP 告诉我们，其 30% 的地下主干管已有 80 年或更久的历史。相比之下，洛杉矶县中 80 岁或以上的人口比例约为 3.7%。你可能还记得 2014, 年，当加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）暂时变成一座“水下大学”时，又是某个“老古董”爆裂了。那根管子 90, 岁，它死得非常壮烈，喷出了 30 英尺高的水柱，造成了数百万美元的损失。但就像人类一样，老管线也可以打破常规，表现得比年轻的管线更好。“年龄不是唯一的因素，”DWP 水务系统负责人 Anselmo Collins 告诉我。南加州大学（USC）工程学教授 Lucio Soibelman 选择了

衡量编码变化的标准。 Blumenfield 的工作人员在研究公共通行权时发现了 1936 年的法律，该议员的通讯副手 Kristine Cajulis 如此表示。Cajulis 说，她不知道是否有任何人根据该法律受到过处罚。
根据《洛杉矶日报》（Los Angeles Daily News）报道，唯一一次执行情况发生在 2006, 年，当时一名前市议会现场代表举报了她谢尔曼奥克斯（Sherman Oaks）的邻居，因为他们在路边安装了篮球架。 除了反球类运动条例外，这些邻居还被指控违反了禁止在人行道或路边草带上设置结构的条例。

Seltzer 1950年10月2日 - 2026年7月15日
Melvin Daniel Seltzer 于2026年7月15日在家中去世。Mel在洛杉矶统一学区 (LAUSD) 工作了超过25年。他热爱打高尔夫球和动物。他的伴侣Lorena，妹妹和哥哥Cathy与Gregg，儿子和儿媳Patrick与Rachel，以及孙子Benjamin在世。他将永远活在我们的心中。

对此想法的进一步探讨。 “你可以看一根100年历史的管道，”他说，“而那根管道的状态依然完美。” Soibelman表示，削弱管道结构完整性的因素包括土壤压实和地下水位变量。 作为一个偶尔对洛杉矶水बिज与电力局 (LADWP) 运营发表见解的人，我在评估这一连串水管爆裂事件（自最近一次重大爆裂以来，又出现了几处渗漏）时的职业直觉，是考虑领导层失效的可能性。 这是一个有着计费丑闻历史、工会头目欺凌软弱政客、拥有丰厚养老金以及员工几乎无需支付费用的优惠医疗和牙科计划的机构。此外，每年还有数百万美元的LADWP盈余资金被投入市政府的“储蓄罐”中，这让缴费用户深信自己被敲了竹子。 那么，该机构是否忽视了其赖以生存的、极其老旧的地下基础？ 公平地说，LADWP每年正在更换约45英里的陈旧水管，新管道的设计寿命可长达150年。 “他们应该在40或50年前就开始这么做，”洛约拉-玛丽蒙特大学 (Loyola Marymount University) 表示。

工程教授 Joseph Reichenberger。 Soibelman 对此稍有异议。 “他们的表现相当不错，”这位南加州大学（USC）教授在接受我的电话采访时说道，当时他正参加在英国剑桥举行的一次基础设施会议。 Soibelman 表示，费城和波士顿这些更古老的城市，水管爆裂的情况比洛杉矶更严重。他还说，得益于先进的监测和管理技术，洛杉矶水बिज与电力局 (DWP) 的漏水管道数量远低于全国平均水平。 出于好奇，我对剑桥进行了一些研究，发现方济各会修士在 1325 年铺设了第一批水管，而现代水务系统则于 1855 年埋入地下。当地的水务公司目前正处于一项为期五年的工程中，旨在更换约 150 英里的管道，其中最古老的管道已有约 170 年历史。 剑桥水务公司的“事件”网站显示，自 6 月初以来发生了四起水管爆裂事件，包括周四下午发生在 Boxworth Road 和 Cotterells Lane 的一起。由于干旱，花园软管的使用已被暂时禁止。 所以，洛杉矶的情况可能会更糟。 Collins 告诉我，每年安装的 45 英里新管道大约是二十年前的三倍。他说，加快进度是一个值得追求的目标，但这意味着需要增加劳动力，通过更多地关闭街道来干扰交通和商业，并要求客户支付更高额的账单。“如果你做得更多，就会对费率产生影响，”Collins 说道。这是洛杉矶一个熟悉的主题。管道。人行道。树木。老化代价高昂。如果你听之任之，价格就会上涨到无法承担“手术”成本的地步。修复洛杉矶所有破损的人行道需要数年时间和数百万美元。Soibelman 表示，欧洲城市的表现更好，但这部分原因是它们是为步行而设计的，而洛杉矶则是为四轮车的舒适度而建。1916 年，当 36 英寸的管道沿日落大道 (Sunset Boulevard) 埋入地下时，汽车才刚刚开始在洛杉矶与有轨电车和马车竞争。当时还没有道奇队。那支被称为布鲁克林知更鸟队 (Brooklyn Robins) 的球队距离洛杉矶还有 3,000 英里，时间上相隔 42 年。Philippe the Original 已经开业，但 Musso & Frank Grill 距离调制出第一杯马丁尼还差三年。出生于 1916 年且现已故的人包括 Walter Cronkite, Gregory Peck, Dinah Shore, Jackie Gleason 和 Kirk Douglas。变老很难。不过，我认识几位状态极佳的高龄人士。在爆裂的中心地带，Bullwinkle 设法地“从帽子里变出兔子”，在 7 月 16 日西好莱坞的一切都被冲走时，救了自己和 Rocky。这些卡通人物的雕像现在 67 岁了（你可以查一下，第一集是在 1959 年播出的），稳稳地伫立在日落大道与 Holloway 交汇处，松鼠 Rocky 和麋鹿 Bullwinkle 监督着“大修复” (Big Fix)，仿佛他们是洛杉矶水बिज与电力局 (DWP) 薪资单上的工头。很高兴看到他们再次工作，也很欣慰地知道他们拥有极佳的医疗保健计划。

他当时 18 岁的儿子体重减轻了 30 磅。 Brogin 在当时称该法律近乎法西斯主义，他与市政府进行了斗争，但未能成功。他说他从未缴纳罚款——他不记得具体金额——但最终他拆掉了篮筐。 “让这种落后之极的法律延续这么久，”现年 77 岁的 Brogin 在谈到该法律时说道。 在 20 世纪 30 年代的报纸报道中，当地官员警告家长不要让孩子在街上玩耍，以免被汽车撞到。 时任洛杉矶游乐场主管 George Hjelte 在 1936 年 2 月 3 日的一篇《每日微风》(Daily Breeze) 文章中表示，应该允许孩子在空地或空旷空间玩耍，但不应允许他们“在行驶车辆的路径上玩游戏而冒受伤风险”。
在如今的洛杉矶，道路安全组织“所有人之街”(Streets For All) 和“街道属于每个人”(Streets Are For Everyone) 将布鲁门菲尔德 (Blumenfield) 的提议视为积极的一步。他们表示，安全始于驾驶员关注街道上的行人，无论是在骑行、行走还是玩耍。
“所有人之街”的创始人兼首席执行官迈克尔·施耐德 (Michael Schneider) 表示，洛杉矶的一些驾驶员认为道路是属于他们的。“要改变这一点，仅靠废除一项法律是远远不够的，”他说。
在布罗金 (Brogin) 所在的谢尔曼奥克斯 (Sherman Oaks) 社区，孩子们仍然在街道上玩耍。他表示，在典型的一小时内，经过这里的车辆不到 10 辆，而且驾驶员会停下来让孩子们暂停游戏并让路——就像他小时候那样。
“这是一个极佳的社交锻炼，”布罗金说。“我看不到任何负面影响。”
引发反对
[Arroyo, 见 B1]
将该地视为一颗“小小的环境宝石”。 加布里埃莱尼传教印第安部落——基兹民族 (Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation) 主席安德鲁·萨拉斯 (Andrew Salas) 呼吁“完全避开”该区域。在给市级官员的一封信中，他写道，该项目有风险永久性地破坏哈哈蒙格纳流域 (Hahamongna Watershed) 内脆弱的及部落遗址，并且有“极高概率发现祖先的人类遗骸”。
这个地方被人们使用。 “人们会去那里坐坐，因为溪流边大约比周围低 10 到 15 度，”救救圣帕斯库尔公园 (Save San Pascual Park) 成员克拉拉·索利斯 (Clara Solis) 说道。她说，附近的人并不都安装了空调。“这对我们很有价值。”
她表示，她对树木的珍惜源于在东洛杉矶 (East L.A.) 非建制地区长大，那里靠近 60 和 710 号高速公路。她曾目睹社区内的树木被砍伐，以便车辆更方便地驶出高速公路，结果导致了更多的公路噪音和污染。这些树木曾是一道屏障。
当索利斯得知阿罗约塞科项目中近 140 棵树将被移除时，她立即采取行动。 她在 2024 年发起了一项针对帕萨迪纳 (Pasadena) 的诉讼，指控其未仔细考虑该项目将产生的影响，从而促使该市进行全面的环境影响报告。
基层组织者还表示，第一波通知未能触达许多住在山谷 (arroyo) 一侧的居民，且仅以英文分发。 尽管对该项目的反对意见多样且激烈，但几乎所有人的共同愿望都是希望阿罗约塞科能变得更清洁。

工作。他在一封电子邮件中表示，这片狭小的土地是“少数几个”能够同时改善水质并恢复湿地的地点之一。此外，将有更多的人能够使用这里。帕萨迪纳市阿罗约塞科项目的城市项目经理克里斯蒂娜·蒙德 (Christina Monde) 将部分反对意见归因于误解，例如认为帕萨迪纳清理水质是为了给高尔夫球场灌溉。但她表示，为该高尔夫球场供水的管道可追溯到 70 年前，且其容量不会增加。环境影响报告草案也支持这一说法。蒙德认为，保留这片荒野地带的现状并非那么重要。“这里并非人们所说的原生态地区，我认为我们提议的改进将使其成为一个更具美感、更易到达且更安全的区域，供社区享受，”她说道，并列举了未经授权的小径、过度生长、居住在此的无家可归者、损坏的连锁围栏以及铁丝网和藻类。她指出，在计划移除的 136 棵树中，有 82 棵是入侵性的墨西哥扇棕榈，这些棕榈也构成了火灾隐患。环境报告草案的公众评论期已延长至周六。评论应发送至 cmonde@cityofpasadena.net。蒙德表示，将举行另一次社区会议，但日期尚未确定。今天访问圣帕斯夸尔场址可以揭示这场争论的所有方面。一道生锈的围栏几乎将该地块完全包围。北角有一条入口小径，电线杆上钉着一块手绘的木制标牌，写着“禁止触碰 (HANDS OFF THIS)”。沿着小径走，感觉像是窥见了侏罗纪丛林，路径在茂密的棕榈群中展开，靠近一条从阿罗约分流出的小溪，以及它携带的所有细菌。

职业垒球运动员。并非因为他们对这项运动的热爱减弱，也不是因为职业路线不再是一个选项。
职业垒球联盟自 1976, 年起就已经存在，但它们一直缺乏繁荣和普及所必需的可见度和可触及性。
“根据我成长的经验——这在很多和我同龄的运动员中也是一样的——我们没有什么可以效法的榜样，”芝加哥强盗队（Chicago Bandits）的外野手 Jessica Clements 说道，她在 2025 年在加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）度过了大四赛季。“我们有 Jennie Finch, Natasha Watley, Monica Abbott，但能够职业打球的机会非常渺茫。机会不多，很多年轻的孩子不确定多年后的环境会是什么样子。”

随着 AUSL（运动员无限垒球联盟）的出现，这种情况正在发生改变。
AUSL 于 2025 年启动，并在之前职业垒球的迭代基础上建立。在一年之内，其在 ESPN 平台上的平均收视率增长了 181%，其中 6 月 21 日波特兰级联队（Portland Cascade）与德克萨斯伏特队（Texas Volts）的一场比赛创下了 404,000 名观众的最高纪录。
在 AUSL 的 96 名在职球员中，有 13 名是前 UCLA 垒球运动员——这还不包括两名总经理、一名主教练和一名助理教练，他们同样属于 AUSL 且来自西伍德（Westwood）项目——这使得 UCLA 成为该联盟中代表人数最多的学校。这一人才输送链在本周末于德克萨斯 A&M 大学 Davis 的比赛中得到了充分体现。

那个本垒打导致道奇队在周日于Citi Field的比赛中以 8 - 3 告负。 “给了他一个快球，他准备好了，然后把它击出去了，”Klein 说道。“当你领先且掌控局面时，那会是一个高飞球，或者当我在好球区投变速球时，他们必须考虑其他东西。但我一直没这么做，所以直接投快球在那儿就非常简单，即使是在一个本该更难击中的点，如果你处于落后且对方是个好击球手，他们就更容易下定决心并精准击中球心。” 尽管未能完成横扫，但道奇队在东海岸之行中取得了 6 - 3 的战绩，并赢得了对阵纽约洋基队、费城费城人队和大都会队的系列赛。

向那些帮助他们 进入国家棒球 名人堂的人致敬。
作者：Jose de Jesus Ortiz
纽约州库珀斯敦 —— 卡洛斯·贝尔特兰 (Carlos Beltrán) 和 Bad Bunny 尚未见过面，但这位名人堂强击手和这位超级说唱歌手都对家庭以及他们深爱的波多黎各充满了热爱。因此，在周日下午的克拉克体育中心 (Clark Sports Center) 进行入职演讲，思考如何向父母致敬时，贝尔特兰引用了贝尼托·安东尼奥·马丁内斯·奥卡西奥 (Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) 的一首热门单曲。
贝尔特兰在国家棒球名人堂的入职演讲大部分是用英语进行的，但在向父母威尔弗雷多 (Wilfredo) 和卡门 (Carmen) 讲话时，他使用了西班牙语。
就在那时，他引用了 Bad Bunny 的《La Mudanza》，这是这位波多黎各之星在上一届超级碗中场秀期间演唱的歌曲之一。
“Un aplauso pa Mami y Papi porque en verdá rompieron.” （英文意为：“给爸爸妈妈来一次掌声，因为他们真的太牛了。”）
“我喜欢那首歌，”贝尔特兰在与前道奇队球员杰夫·肯特 (Jeff Kent) 和安德鲁·琼斯 (Andruw Jones) 一起入名人堂后说道，现场约有 12,000 名观众。“我喜欢它，因为它是对我们父母的致敬。”
“我认为 [Bad Bunny] 在音乐中所做的事情很酷。毫无疑问，他一直在寻找推广波多黎各、认可家庭、认可——”

电讯报道
塔代伊·波加查 (Tadej Pogacar) 在周日以压倒性优势赢得了创纪录的 5 个环法自行车赛 (Tour de France) 冠军后，确认了其作为自行车运动史上最伟大选手之一的地位。
大胆的深层山地进攻、多次分站赛胜利以及极其冷静的心态， all helped 这位 27 岁的斯洛文尼亚人锁定了胜局。他与比利时的埃迪·默克什 (Eddy Merckx)、西班牙的米格尔·印杜拉因 (Miguel Indurain) 以及法国的雅克·安奎尔 (Jacques Anquetil) 和贝尔纳德·希诺 (Bernard Hinault) 一起，成为仅有的 5 次赢得环法冠军的骑手。
“我无法用语言形容。这是不可思议的一天，现场气氛太棒了，”波加查说道。“我已经参加了 7 次环法赛，而且每次都登上了领奖台。你们可能会觉得这是一个童话故事，对我来说也同样不可思议。”
在周日巴黎激动人心的第 21 个也是最后一个赛段的强力竞争后，波加查在总成绩单上领先于比利时骑手雷姆科·埃文波尔 (Remco Evenepoel) 6 分 26 秒。
波加查的队友、 22 岁的墨西哥人伊萨克·德尔·托罗 (Isaac Del Toro) 在环法赛中首次亮相，在总成绩中落后波加查 9:42，位列第三；波加查则微笑并举起手，示意他的胜利。
申尤京结束 LPGA 长期无冠纪录
韩国选手 申尤京 (Jenny Shin) 在女子苏格兰公开赛中以两杆之差夺冠，结束了等待超过 10 年才赢得第二个 LPGA 冠军的局面。 现年 33 岁的申尤京曾在 2016, 5 月赢得了德克萨斯射击赛 (Texas Shootout)，她在 Dun-donald Links 球场打出 75 杆（高于标准杆 3 杆），最终以 9 杆低于标准杆的成绩完赛，并在最后一推入洞后流下泪水。 林金雅 (Lim Kim) 以 68 杆（低于标准杆 4 杆）获得亚军，凭借连续四个 birdies (小鸟球) 帮助她反超，领先第三名 Pajaree Anannarukarn 两杆。
杰克逊·科伊武恩 (Jackson Koivun) 在职业生涯仅第三次参赛中，以三杆之差赢得了 3M 公开赛冠军。他在明尼苏达州布莱恩 (Blaine, Minn.) 的 TPC Twin Cities 球场最后一天打出 66 杆（低于标准杆 5 杆），以 25 杆低于标准杆、总分 259 的赛事纪录击败了斯科蒂·舍夫勒 (Scottie Scheffler)。科伊武恩在气温 97 度的下午表现稳健，连续第二天没有打出 bogey (柏忌)，从而在舍夫勒以 63. ... 猛烈追分的情况下险胜。来自弗吉尼亚州莫塞利 (Moseley, Va.) 的诺亚·麦克劳克伦 (Noah Maclauchlan) 在周六于宾夕法尼亚州伯利恒 (Bethlehem, Pa.) 举行的美国青少年业余锦标赛中，以 6 和 5 的成绩击败了来自佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔海滩 (Jacksonville Beach, Fla.) 的迈尔斯·罗素 (Miles Russell)。
密尔沃基酿酒人队 (Milwaukee Brewers) 投手雅各布·米西奥罗夫斯基 (Jacob Misiorowski) 在周日让科罗拉多洛基队 (Colorado Rockies) 的前 7 名打者全部三振，创下球队纪录。自 2008. ... 开始记录投球追踪以来，米西奥罗夫斯基还打破了他自己单场比赛投出 100 英里时速球最多的纪录 (66 颗)。... 洋基队将全明星外野手科迪·贝林格 (Cody Bellinger) 放入 10 天伤兵名单，原因为左腿后群拉伤 ... the 玛林鱼队 (Marlins) 遭遇了球队纪录第 12 场连续败绩，以 3-5 输给教士队 (Padres)，后者在早早落后 3 分的情况下实现了逆转。
科里·海姆 (Corey Heim) 在最后一次重启中超越了球队共同所有者丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin)，随后顶住了猛烈冲击的克里斯托弗·贝尔 (Christopher Bell) 和乔伊·洛加诺 (Joey Logano) 的压力，夺得了他的首个 Brickyard 400 冠军。这位 24 岁的车手在印第安纳波利斯赛车场 (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) 通过一次大胆的外部超越动作超过哈姆林，并以 0.287 秒的优势领先贝尔，成为了自 1965 年 A.J. Foyt 以来，首位在职业生涯前 15 场比赛中两次获胜的 Cup 车手。... 兰多·诺里斯 (Lando Norris) 在匈牙利大奖赛中凭借强劲的配速和一定的运气，“飞速”夺冠，结束了长达 8 个月的等待。这位卫冕冠军虽然起跑位居榜首，但在第二个弯道跑宽，将领先位置让给了他的麦克拉伦 (McLaren) 车队队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里 (Oscar Piastri)，但在皮亚斯特里因碰撞被延后后，诺里斯重新夺回了领先地位。
诺亚·莱尔斯 (Noah Lyles) 在美国田径锦标赛 200 米决赛进行到一半时速度下滑，在他最擅长的项目中遭遇罕见失利，使得南加州大学 (USC) 的加勒特·卡隆德 (Garrett Kaalund) 以 20.04 秒夺冠。 在纽约艾康体育场 (Icahn Stadium) 举行的女子比赛中，现任世界冠军梅莉莎·杰斐逊-伍登 (Melissa Jefferson-Wooden) 以赛季最佳的 21.69 秒轻松夺得她的第二个连续全国冠军。
肯塔维厄斯·考德威尔-波普 (Kentavious Caldwell-Pope) 在周六与孟菲斯灰熊队 (Memphis Grizzlies) 达成买断协议。据 ESPN 报道，这位前湖人队球员在通过豁免程序后，计划与费城 76 人队 (Philadelphia 76ers) 签约。

大卫·马丁内斯 (David Martínez) 也在 LAFC 3-0 领先的上半场中破门。LAFC 自 5 月 17 日以来未尝败绩。布安加在第 85 分钟攻入其个人第二球，使他本赛季在 17 场比赛中累积 10 个进球。
凭借状态神勇的孙兴慜和处于巅峰状态的布安加在休赛期后的每场比赛中均有进球，LAFC 在过去三场比赛中以 10-1 的总比分碾压对手。目前，LAFC 以 33 分和 10 场胜利与温哥华和圣何塞并列西区积分榜首位，不过白帽队 (Whitecaps) 和地震队 (Quakes) 均少赛一场。
雨果·洛里斯 (Hugo Lloris) 仅需完成一次扑救，便为 LAFC 守护了其在 MLS 中领先的第 10 场零封比赛。
堪萨斯城直到比赛第 77 分钟才完成一次射正。这场失利使他们继续留在西区积分榜

对于冠军福克斯而言，速度是秘密
作者：道格·弗格森 (Doug Ferguson)
英国，南波特 (SOUTHPORT) ——除了成为一名英国公开赛冠军，瑞安·福克斯 (Ryan Fox) 还成为了这项运动中快速击球的新代表，而这项运动恰恰需要一个好的榜样。
或许最好的证明出现在他人生中最重要的时刻。他面临一个 12 英尺的单鹰推杆以赢得他的首个大满贯赛，那是高尔夫球赛中压力最大的时刻。39 岁的福克斯仅用了 22 秒就将球推了出去。
在这次突破性的胜利后，他小心地措辞，以确保不会引起误解。
“我需要确保我的意思被正确地传达，”福克斯说。“选择击球点和选择球杆并不那么困难。我进入状态，一切就迅速发生了。进入果岭通常就在一到两支球杆之间，我迅速地观察击球点，迅速做出选择，我思考的时间越少，就越少有负面想法潜入其中。”
在英国公开赛上，一切都完美无缺——完美的开球，完美的九号铁，完美的推杆。
福克斯加入了一个在巨额奖金时代以高效击球著称的球员短名单——乔·奥格尔维 (Joe Ogilvie) 和比尔·哈斯 (Bill Haas)，达斯汀·约翰逊 (Dustin Johnson) 和布鲁克斯·科普卡 (Brooks Koepka)，卢卡斯·格洛弗 (Lucas Glover) 和马特·琼斯 (Matt Jones)。
当被问到是否有人比他更快时，他提到了意大利的雷纳托·帕拉托雷 (Renato Paratore)。
“他以前在 1 号发球台上宣布名字的时候就开始击球了，”福克斯说。
他还分享了一个关于斯科蒂·舍夫勒 (Scottie Scheffler) 的故事，后者并未进入该名单。他说他们在 WM 凤凰城公开赛期间曾三人一组进行比赛。
“我分不清这是一个讽刺还是一个赞美，”福克斯说，“我们走出第九号发球台时，他说：‘福克斯，感觉你根本不在组里。感觉我们就像在两人对打，因为你击球太快了。’”
“这就是我一直以来的打法，”福克斯说。“我很庆幸在最后的冲刺阶段保留了这种习惯。”

贝盖赢得佩恩·斯图尔特奖 诺塔·贝盖三世 (Notah Begay III) 被选为佩恩·斯图尔特奖 (Payne Stewart Award) 的获得者。该奖项始于 2000 年，已成为 PGA 巡回赛会员的最高荣誉之一，旨在表彰个人品格、体育精神和慈善承诺。
除了在 PGA 巡回赛中获得四次胜利，以及成为该巡回赛中唯一的纯血美国原住民外，贝盖还创立了 NB3 基金会，该基金会专注于美国原住民青年及其社区面临的健康和福祉挑战。
“诺塔·贝盖三世一直利用他的影响力来产生深远且持久的影响，尤其是在……”
怀亚特·迈耶兰德 (Wyatt Meyerand) 攻入球门，打入他本赛季的第 3 个进球。这位前托特纳姆热刺球星在为 LAFC 出战的前 13 场比赛中未能进球，尽管他在 MLS 的助攻数领先，但这位韩国队队长在卸下世界杯压力后显得状态大涨。
布安加 (Bouanga) 在第 37 分钟通过一次反击进球，扩大了 LAFC 的领先优势，这种反击进球方式是其球队上赛季接连得分的招牌。这位法国前锋控制住马修·肖尼埃 (Mathieu Choinière) 的长传，甩掉一名防守球员后完成破门。
随后布安加的传球让马丁内斯 (Martínez) 在伤停补时阶段与孙兴慜 (Son) 共同发动反击，马丁内斯攻入了他的第 6 个进球。
LAFC 在比赛末段又通过一次转换进攻得分，瑞安·波蒂厄斯 (Ryan Porteous) 的长传找到了泰勒·博伊德 (Tyler Boyd)，后者传球给布安加，后者完成梅开双花。
佩因特西尔建功，银河队勉强战平
周六晚上，在斯坦福体育场与圣何塞地震队的一场 1-1 平局中，约瑟夫·佩因特西尔 (Joseph Paintsil) 为银河队攻入一球，JT 马辛科夫斯基 (JT Marcinkowski) 贡献了 5 次扑救。

在他所属的美国原住民社区中，这种持续的工作毫无疑问地体现了定义佩恩·斯图尔特奖 (Payne Stewart Award) 的性格、同情心和领导力价值，”PGA 巡回赛首席执行官布莱恩·罗拉普 (Brian Rolapp) 表示。
贝盖 (Begay) 将于 8 月 25 日在亚特兰大参加巡回赛冠军赛时获得表彰。该奖项是在 1999 年 10 月斯图尔特死于飞机失事后设立的，那一年他赢得了美国公开赛。
“佩恩·斯图尔特代表了我们这项运动的最高境界，不仅体现在他的竞争方式上，还体现在他的生活方式以及他对他人的回馈上，”贝盖说。“能够与他的遗产联系在一起确实非常特别。高尔夫给了我一个服务平台，我一直相信，利用这个平台来提升他人，特别是下一代，是我们的责任。”

银河队 (5-7-6) 此前连续两场失利，总比分为 6-1，自世界杯假期回归以来，他们在三场比赛中未尝胜绩。
在一次反击中，佩因特西尔接马尔科·罗伊斯 (Marco Reus) 的传球，以一次触球即射在第 13 分钟率先破门。
地震队在上半场拥有 61% 的控球率，射门数以 9-2 领先于银河队，但直到第 63 分钟，里德·罗伯茨 (Reid Roberts) 在近距离补射破门将比分扳至 1-1 之前一直处于落后。
安古斯·冈恩 (Angus Gunn) 迎来第二次首发，为地震队 (10-4-3) 完成 1 次扑救。

本赛季为地震队贡献 11 球的普雷斯顿·贾德 (Preston Judd) 和队长罗纳尔多·维埃拉 (Ronaldo Vieira) 没有为圣何塞出战（因累积黄牌）。
在四大满贯赛中连续晋级，比谢夫勒 (Scheffler) 多了一场。他们是今年在所有四项大满贯赛中全部通过资格赛的 14 名球员之一。
肖费勒 (Schauffele) 自 2022 年大师赛以来从未错过资格赛，而谢夫勒上次错过资格赛是在一个月后的 2022 年 PGA 锦标赛。
科里·康纳斯 (Corey Conners) 是唯一一位在过去三年中连续四项大满贯赛全部通过资格赛的另一名球员，他上次在满贯赛中没能进入决赛周末是在 2023 年美国公开赛。
今年在所有大满贯赛中均通过资格赛的其他球员包括：罗里·麦克罗伊 (Rory McIlroy)、卡梅隆·杨 (Cameron Young)、萨姆·伯恩斯 (Sam Burns)、柯林·森川 (Collin Morikawa)、松山英树 (Hideki Matsuyama)、路德维格·阿伯格 (Ludvig Aberg)、克里斯·戈特鲁普 (Chris Gotterup)、本·格里芬 (Ben Griffin)、迈克尔·布伦南 (Michael Brennan)、贾斯汀·托马斯 (Justin Thomas) 和 栗山库尔特 (Kurt Kitayama)。
反面典型是哈里·霍尔 (Harry Hall)，他是唯一一名在所有四项大满贯赛中全部被淘汰的球员。

芝加哥 —— 琼奎尔·琼斯（Jonquel Jones）、内卡·奥古米克（Nneka Ogwumike）和多米尼克·马隆加（Dominique Malonga）在周六晚上创造了 WNBA 的历史。
在联盟的第 30 个赛季中，这场全明星派对极其盛大。
琼斯贡献了 22 分、13 个篮板和 8 次助攻，帮助凯特琳·克拉克（Caitlin Clark）和 Spoon 队在 WNBA 全明星赛中以 129-122 击败了由玛丽娜·马布里（Marina Mabrey）率领的 Coop 队。
在一位姑姑去世后，琼斯心怀沉重地出战，并被评为 MVP。这位 32 岁的纽约自由人队中锋成为了首位同时获得常规赛冠军、WNBA 总决赛冠军、专员杯（Commissioner’s Cup）以及全明星 MVP 奖项的球员。
“无论我处于什么样的心情，篮球都能让我重新振作起来，”琼斯说道，“所以我就顺应这种感觉。”
马隆加在上半场为 Coop 队完成了一次扣篮，但 Spoon 队在全明星赛中共有 8 名球员得分达到两位数。这场比赛出现了 127 次三分球出手，且几乎没有防守。阿里莎·格雷（Allisha Gray）为 Spoon 队贡献了 19 分，克拉克最终得到了 17 分。

Diamond，犹他 Talons 队在此击败 Bandits 队，于周日夺得连续第二个 AUSL 冠军。Talons 队的阵容中拥有五位前 Bruins 球员，其中包括担任总经理的 UCLA 垒球助理主教练 Lisa Fernandez。UCLA 校友 Jadelyn Allchin 被评为 AUSL 冠军赛 MVP。
UCLA 垒球在 AUSL 各个方面的存在并非巧合。Bruins 队拥有 12 个 NCAA 冠军和 119 名全美最佳球员（All-American），这两项纪录均排名历史第一，且这还不包括在 NCAA era. 之前的一个 AIAW 冠军和一个全美最佳球员名额。尽管该项目以荣誉著称，但 UCLA 及其球员对这项运动产生的影响远超任何旗帜或奖杯。
“当你回顾过去 40 年垒球的历史，你无法在任何一支美国国家队、任何职业尝试或任何级别的卓越成就中看不到 UCLA 的影响，”俄克拉荷马城 Sparks 队总经理 Kirk Walker 说道，他曾在 Westwood 担任助理教练长达 24 年。
UCLA 历史上仅有三位教练——Sharron Backus、Sue Enquist 和 Kelly Inouye-Perez——他们全部创造了无与伦比的成功，并建立了一个基于卓越标准和家庭文化的项目。但在 UCLA 文化中，最重要的一点莫过于“Bruin Bubble”（布鲁因气泡）——这是该项目核心的一个概念，侧重于校友的参与。
“这源于那些从一开始就在这里的女性，她们为像我们这样以及未来将要到来的球员铺平了道路，”Sparks 队内野手 Delanie Wisz 说道，她在 2020 到 2022 期间在 UCLA 参赛。“‘Bruin Bubble’ 的理念以及认同某种比个人更宏大的事物，Sue Enquist 教练、Sharron Backus 教练和 Inouye-Perez 教练在保持这一理念领先方面做得非常好，并确保我们是为了比任何个人奖项更宏大的目标而战。”
虽然这些在 AUSL 效力的 Bruins 球员在童年时的抱负并未全部达到职业垒球的高度，但一个共同的目标将他们联系在一起——在 Westwood 的梦想学校打球，并向那些取得了超越任何记录或冠军的不可估量成功的人学习。
Backus 和 Enquist 设定了

自 2022 起，芝加哥的全明星赛一直如此。这一次，这场标志性赛事在联合中心（United Center）举行，面对创纪录的 19,783 名观众，而非芝加哥市中心较小的 Wintrust 体育馆。
“今晚能够拥有 19,000 人观看，创下全明星赛历史最高出席率，这充分表明我们的联赛正在成长，人们希望聚集在我们身边，希望成为其中的一部分，并理解这一切是多么特别，”Jones 说道。
Ogwumike 为 Spoon 队贡献了 11 分，同时在全明星赛历史总得分上超越了 Maya Moore (119)。
Kelsey Mitchell 为 Coop 队砍下 28 分，而 Mabrey 在火热的上半场拿到了她全部的 23 分。20 岁的 Malonga 以 12 分和 13 个篮板收场。
“我看到几个球很早就进了，”Mabrey 说道。她在 6 月 25 日对阵 Sparks 的比赛中为多伦多队砍下 53 分，追平了 WNBA 的得分记录。“这就是我的风格。在球能进的时候把分拿到。”

NBA 风格的回放中心
以提升“比赛质量”的 最新举措。
作者：道格·费恩伯格 (Doug Feinberg)
芝加哥 —— WNBA 专员凯茜·恩格尔伯特 (Cathy Engelbert) 在周六全明星赛前的联盟状态新闻发布会上宣布，随着联盟继续在裁判方面进行投资，WNBA 将在下个赛季设立一个类似于 NBA 的回放中心。
在过去的几个赛季中，裁判一直是整个联盟的热点话题，其中身体接触激烈的比赛方式是一个主要的争论点。联盟在休赛期组建了一个工作组，以帮助减少比赛中的部分肢体冲突。
“这是我们曾在篮球运营方面做过的最重大投资之一。这项数千万美元的投资将有助于提高我们裁判流程的一致性、效率和透明度，同时持续提升比赛质量，”恩格尔伯特说道。
恩格尔伯特表示，回放中心的许多细节仍需敲定，不过她提到，目前 NBA 所采用的“最后两分钟报告”暂时不会在 WNBA 中使用。
由于强调保障球员的移动自由，本赛季的犯规次数有所增加。犯规的增加导致了进攻的增多，各球队的场均得分创下历史新高。这也导致了比赛时间的延长。
本月早些时候，联盟的比赛时间平均为 2 小时 8 分钟 —— 为联盟历史上最长。
球员安全 恩格尔伯特表示，联盟正继续与球员合作，试图改善他们在场外的安全。联盟与球员工会在周二晚上举行了一次虚拟会议，讨论如何进一步打击网络仇恨。
“对于 WNBA 的太多球员来说，那种经历是不可接受的，”她说道。“这令人厌恶。种族主义、厌女症、恐同心理，以及针对我们球员的骚扰和威胁，在体育运动或任何其他地方都没有立足之地。”
Aces 调查 恩格尔伯特表示，WNBA 针对拉斯维加斯 Aces 队的一项赞助协议是否违反薪金上限的调查结果不确定。
“不会建议或实施任何处罚。当然，如果有新的或额外的证据出现，我们将……”
……曾在 UCLA 赢得本田杯 (Honda Cup) 的冠军，以及 AUSL 的 Volts 队投手，“但归根结底，丽莎·费尔南德斯 (Lisa Fernandez)、凯莉·伊诺伊-佩雷斯 (Kelly Inouye-Perez) 和柯克·沃克 (Kirk Walker)，这些人是我每天都想为之效力的对象，因为我知道他们能够给女孩们提供所需的条件，以便她们发挥出最佳水平。”
在伊诺伊-佩雷斯继续掌舵 Bruin 球队的同时，沃克和费尔南德斯分别担任 Sparks 队和 Talons 队的总经理。
格兰特 (Grant) 强调，由于这三位教练留下的影响力以及他们积累的资历，他们可以轻易地选择离开。然而，伊诺伊-佩雷斯和费尔南德斯不仅选择留在比赛中，还将自己的时间重新投入到推动整个联盟和这项运动的发展中。
“我接受帮助传递火炬并将其向前推进的责任，并将其交给詹妮·芬奇斯 (Jennie Finches) 和凯特·奥斯特曼 (Cat Osterman) 这样的人，”费尔南德斯说道。
“她们将把它交给下一代，由他们继续建设这项运动，并希望它能变成这样一个环境，让小女孩们可以说：‘我要成为一名职业垒球运动员，并为那些有机会观看我比赛的人成为榜样。’ 而在最终的……”
“将继续调查，”专员表示。
拉斯维加斯会议与访客管理局在 2024 年 5 月向 Aces 队的球员提供了未来两个赛季每人 $100,000 的赞助协议。
根据 Spotrac 的数据，该金额超过了其中六名球员的薪水。
本赛季没有提供此类协议，但随着 5 月份新集体谈判协议的完成，球员的薪水也大幅上涨。根据 Spotrac 的数据，每名 Aces 球员至少赚得 $270,000,。最初的报价促使联盟启动调查，以确定其是否规避了薪资上限规则。
“我们是以正确的方式处理的，”拉斯维加斯会议与访客管理局总裁兼首席执行官史蒂夫·希尔（Steve Hill）当时表示。“我们做了一些我们认为对拉斯维加斯有效且对球员非常有益的事情。我们是在没有球队参与的情况下完成的。这是我们的想法，他们提出的任何问题都会得到解答。”
需要更多对话 恩格尔伯特（Engelbert）表示，联盟需要与球员进行更好的沟通。球员们的主要抱怨之一是他们与专员之间没有关系。阿佳·威尔逊（A’ja Wilson）在赛前表示，她唯一一次与恩格尔伯特交谈是在领取奖杯时。
“我一直在与球员们讨论他们有多想听到我们的消息，以及在哪些方面不想，”恩格尔伯特说。“我们确实给他们发送了很多电子邮件更新之类的东西。他们是这样一个不再怎么查邮件的世代。所以我们必须在短信群组方面做得更好。……毫无疑问，我需要做得更好。”
恩格尔伯特的未来 恩格尔伯特回避了一个关于她是否计划在下个赛季继续担任专员的问题。
“能在如此令人难以置信的超高速增长时期掌舵这个联盟，我感到非常幸运，”她说。“我将继续，你知道，履行我的职责，执行战略，因为这一战略一直有效。”
积极指标 恩格尔伯特表示，这已经是 WNBA 历史上观众人数最多的赛季，117 场转播覆盖了超过 73 million 的独立观众。
有 29 场比赛的平均观众人数超过一百万——这是全明星赛间歇期有史以来最高的数据。
今年至今，已有超过 2.2 million 名球迷观看比赛，比上赛季增长了 16%。

“……的一天，那才是真正的价值。” 推动这项运动向前发展的关键是利用 2028 年夏季奥运会带来的牵引力和动力，届时垒球将自 2021 年以来首次重返舞台。
费南德兹（Fernandez）强调，当垒球在 1996, 年被列入奥运项目时，它是该运动的巅峰。但由于国际奥委会（IOC）认为金牌争夺战缺乏足够的全球竞争，垒球在 2008 年之后被移除，她当时感到自己失败了。这次挫折激励她推动该运动发展到不再需要依赖主办国将其纳入奥运项目的程度。
“一个我非常关心的使命是该运动在全球范围内的增长，因为在奥运会中出现至关重要，不仅是在 2028 年，而且在 2032 年也是如此，”Talons 队的投手梅根·法莱莫（Megan Faraimo）表示，她在 2019 到 2023 年期间在加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）参加比赛。“我不希望成为最后一批进入奥运会的世代。我想保护我之后所有人的未来，这意味着要充分利用它在洛杉矶举办的机会。”
“我们可以利用这一点将这项运动推向 2032 年，并希望重新回到奥运会的节奏中。”
五年来最丰产的 击球日，帮助 球队避免被横扫。
美联社
旧金山 —— 迈克·特劳特（Mike Trout）在五年多以来首次迎来单场四次安打的比赛，在豪尔赫·索勒（Jorge Soler）和乔·阿德尔（Jo Adell）均击出本垒球的帮助下，天使队在周日以 4-3 击败旧金山巨人队，终结了三连败并避免了被系列赛横扫。 天使队先发投手何塞·索里亚诺（José Soriano, 9-6）在五局中仅失一分（非失误分）。 这位 27 岁的右投手交出了三次安打，三次保送，并完成了五次三振。米奇·法里斯（Mitch Farris）拿下了最后两个出局数，取得了职业生涯首次救援成功。 旧金山队此次结束了主场四连胜。他们是本赛季 MLB 中唯一一支没有在三场或更多场次的系列赛中完成横扫的球队。 特劳特首次单场四次安打

“这太棒了，”经理戴夫·罗伯茨（Dave Roberts）在周六晚上说道。“感觉我们一直在客场奔波了很久，但就时区而言，这次旅行很舒适。我们正在寻找获胜的方法。所以这是关键，也是比赛的目标。” 道奇队的全明星球员以及罗伯茨及其教练组在两周前前往费城。球队其余成员在纽约与他们汇合，与洋基队进行了三场比赛。随后他们前往费城进行三场系列赛，并在返回纽约之前绕道华盛顿访问白宫。 “这是一次漫长的客场旅行 —— 尤其是对于那些为了全明星赛去费城的球员来说，”右外野手凯尔·塔克（Kyle Tucker）表示。“能够在休赛期后回归，面对一些非常强大的球队，并打出极具竞争力的击球表现，同时我们的投球组也贡献了出色的局数，这意义重大。有些球员对于离开洛杉矶的时间之长感到有些疲惫。这本就是一部分。你必须无论如何都要上场比赛，而且他们在这个方面做得非常好。” 即便如此，道奇队 (67-39) 在这次延长的客场之旅中，除了几次跑垒失误外，打出的棒球比休赛前的主场系列赛更加干净利落。 也许道奇队只是需要时间休息来重整状态。 “我认为我们打得

“我对他的所作所为感到自豪，”贝尔特兰在谈到 Bad Bunny 时说。“我认为他代表了我们的岛屿。他是我们文化的一部分，同时他在推广岛屿方面做得相当出色。作为一名棒球运动员，我也在努力尽我所能地做同样的事情。”
[[IMG_XXXX]] 天使队的迈克·特劳特（Mike Trout）击出二垒安打，使其在队史总榜上以 340 次排名第二。
“在整个客场旅途中都打出了非常出色的棒球，”弗雷迪·弗里曼（Freddie Freeman）说。“我很期待回家。”
在周日对阵大都会队（44-62）的比赛中，前几局看起来并不乐观。在大谷翔平（Shohei Ohtani）以二垒安打领跑，且麦克斯·曼西（Max Muncy）在两人出局的情况下保送上垒后，两人都被留在垒上。
大都会队在第一局取得了领先，当时道奇队先发投手埃米特·希汉（Emmet Sheehan）先给了 A.J. 尤因（A.J. Ewing）一个二垒安打，随后弗朗西斯科·林多尔（Francisco Lindor）将一个低位变速球击入右外野浅区，打入一分。
道奇队在第二局面对三名击球手全部出局，此时特奥斯卡·埃尔南德斯（Teoscar Hernández）试图将安打强行冲为二垒安打，结果被触杀出局。随后，希汉在半局开始时用投球击中了泰隆·泰勒（Tyrone Taylor）。
希handlers 随后让接下来的三名击球手出局，道奇队开始掌控局面。他们在第三局凭借埃利泽·阿尔方佐（Eliezer Alfonzo）——这是他在两次出场中的第二次二垒安打——和弗里曼的二垒安打，打入两分反超比分。
道奇队在下一局通过两次安打、大都会队一垒手贾里德·杨（Jared Young）的一次失误以及一次得分的地滚球，再次制造了一分。
希汉在五局中仅失一分，被击三次安打，三振五人。
然而，随着道奇队牛棚在第六局接手，比赛开始失控。杰克·德雷尔（Jack Dreyer）在第六局保送两名击球手，仅记录一次出局，随后
在亨廷顿海滩（Huntington Beach）青少年时期，他就认识了谢里（Sherry）。
“在我 16 岁的时候，我参加摩托车赛，开着我曾祖父母那辆旧的普利茅斯·沃拉尔（Plymouth Volare）车，”肯特（Kent）在入选演说中说道。“我父亲知道摩托车不能带我走向成功。他跟我打了个赌。他知道如果我能获得大学奖学金，他就会给我买一辆皮卡车。
“我父亲是个简单的人，是南加州的一名警察，那时是我们家能负担的所有东西了。那辆车对我来说意味着一切。我放弃了赛车，专注于学业和棒球，并赢得了那份棒球奖学金，因为我得到了那辆车。那辆车现在还在我身边。它停在我的车库里，简单地提醒着我，一些最简单的事情可以改变你整个人生的方向。”
凭借在亨廷顿海滩埃迪森高中（Edison High）就读期间对棒球和教育的执着，肯特获得了加州大学的奖学金。
肯特在其 17 年的职业生涯中，最后四个赛季效力于道奇队，他在演讲中引用了已故的汤米·拉索达（Tommy Lasorda）的话。
“得分的关键在于打点（RBIs），”肯特在引用拉索达的名言时说道。

罗伯茨用埃文·菲利普斯 (Evan Phillips) 替换了他。 在 1-1 的计数下，菲利普斯在好球区的内侧投了一记沉球，泰勒将其击飞至左外野看台，打入了一支领先的三分本垒打。菲利普斯上周还谈到了重塑他的康复心态，但他在仅仅 7 场出场中已经丢了 4 支本垒打。

“我想部分原因可能是我确实信任他，”罗伯茨说，“而我确实信任他。但有些工作，有些锈迹需要被清除。所以我想现在我会让他尝试不同的面对方式，让他找回感觉并获得一些牵引力。”
……在演讲中。 肯特显然将那句话铭记在心，在他的职业生涯中打入了 1,518 分。他其实并不是直接从拉索达 (Lasorda) 那里听到这段话的。他在加州大学 (Cal) 的本垒附近坐着时，听到了由加州大学长期教练鲍勃·米拉诺 (Bob Milano) 通过体育场扬声器播放的励志演讲。 “在加州大学伯克利分校，”肯特解释道，“我们的经理让我们围在本垒周围坐下。……他让我们坐在本垒的泥土里，然后在扬声器里播放了一盘汤米·拉索达 (Tommy Lasorda) 的励志磁带。 “在那场演讲中，在那 20 分钟的励志谈话里，我领悟到了一点，那就是‘金钱在于打入的分数 (RBIs)’。这句话永远地刻在了我的脑海里，从未离开。”

一个由道尔顿·鲁辛 (Dalton Rushing) 造成的得分漏球，以及塞门 (Semien) 在第七局的三分爆击，最终为大都会队锁定了胜局。 克莱因 (Klein) 在本垒打之前给了两次四球且被击出一支单打，他表示他一直在努力找回那种在投手丘上冲下来的感觉，而不是被困在橡胶垫上方。

从库拉索到库珀斯敦 琼斯曾是勇士队的球星，并在 2008 赛季效力于道奇队，他成为了首位被 inducted 入名人堂的库拉索原住民。 “从距离 2,000 英里之外的小岛库拉索来到这里，没有简单的路径，”琼斯这位五次全明星和 10 场比赛……

它变成了：‘请只要投出好球就好’，而不是当我状态非常好时，那种‘我要在这里挑战你，而你无法击中’的感觉。”克莱因说。“所以我觉得我需要更好地找回那种感觉，找回一个月前我的状态。”
时间金手套奖得主在演讲中说道：“但今天，库珀斯敦和库拉索岛永远地连接在一起了。”
“成为来自我岛屿的第一位名人堂成员是一个令人难以置信的时刻。这就是为什么这一天如此令人难忘。我非常高兴能与来自家乡的人们共同分享这一天。”
琼斯向亨斯利·穆伦斯致敬，穆伦斯在 1989 年 8 月 23 日代表洋基队首秀时，成为了大联盟中首位来自库拉索岛的原住民。穆伦斯在大联盟中效力了部分七个赛季。几乎七年后，琼斯在 19 岁时于 1996 年 8 月 15 日代表勇士队首秀，成为来自该岛的第二位进入大联盟的球员。

作者：Maddie Lee
纽约 —— 凯尔·塔克（Kyle Tucker）击出的球从球棒上飞起，成为一个高飞球，直接落在Citi Field球场的右外野看台。
塔克在面对诺兰·麦克莱恩（Nolan McLean）的这次对决中表现得很有耐心，观察了前四个球：两个球，以及两个低位内角的好球。随后，当麦克莱恩投出一个正中线快速球失准时，塔克将其完全击中。
在道奇队周六以 4-3 获胜的这场比赛中，塔克在第一次挥棒时就为球队取得了领先。同时，这也是他作为一名道奇球员，首次在连续两场比赛中击出本垒打。
“我觉得好多了，”塔克在赛后表示。此时，同样是外野手的特奥斯科·赫尔南德斯（Teoscar Hernández）在更衣室另一侧大声喊叫，对他击出的本垒打表示认可。“需要更多这样的状态。能相当不错地观察球，挥棒质量更高。只需要将这种状态转化为更多的挥棒和更多的打席。看看[周日]的情况，继续保持。”
现在断言这是否为道奇队一直期待的塔克爆发期还为时过早。在赛季进行到近三分之二时，他的击球状态尚未达到其职业生涯大部分时期的水平。
“快了，”经理戴夫·罗伯茨（Dave Roberts）周五表示。“虽然不像我们希望的那样稳定或迅速，但他仍在经历这个过程。他依然在努力。”
塔克的本垒打开启了道奇队（67-38）在第三局的三个得分。在对方大都会队（43-62）出现一次传球失误和一次漏球的帮助下，他们又拿到了另外两分，而道奇队则通过密集的击球持续施压。
在山本由伸（Yoshinobu Yamamoto）坐镇投手丘的情况下，这已足以决定比赛。这位右投手在六局中仅让大都会队得一分，该分来自博·比舍特（Bo Bichette）的一次单次安打。
尽管山本由伸交出了五个安打（全部为单次安打）并有三次保送，但他沉稳地化解了危机。

道奇队的强击者 Kyle Tucker 在周六 4-3 的胜利中，对自己在第三局击出的本垒球做出了反应。
Tucker 差一点就击出了第二支本垒球，他在第四局将一个快速球击向左外野。但大都会队的左外野手 A.J. Ewing 在墙前将球接住。道奇队的最后一分则来自 Andy Pages 在第五局击出的一支单打。
大都会队在第八局反击。Edgardo Henriquez 击中一名击球手并给了另一人保送，从而开启了该局。当救援投手 Tanner Scott 在两出局后替换 Henriquez 并被大都会队代打 Tyrone Taylor击出双打时，两名跑者全部得分。但 Scott 在没有丢掉领先优势的情况下结束了该局，Brock Stewart 记录了这场比赛的救援成功，这是他今年的第一次。
Tucker 的这次本垒球是他本赛季的第九支。去年在 Cubs 效力时，他在 5 月 3 日前就达到了这个数量。

布里塞特与红雀队 达成新的一年期协议
电讯报道
四分卫 贾科比·布里塞特 (Jacoby Brissett) 与亚利桑那红雀队在周日达成了一项重新修订的一年期协议，主教练迈克·拉弗勒 (Mike LaFleur) 确认，这位老将很可能是球队在第 1 周的先发球员。
33 岁的布里塞特对其之前的合同并不满意，该合同在接下来的赛季中仅包含 1.5 百万美元的担保金。据报道，他的新合同价值 15.5 百万美元。
在凯勒·马雷 (Kyler Murray) 遭遇赛季报销的脚伤后，布里塞特在去年的最后 12 场比赛中担任球队先发。他在个人表现上出色，贡献了 3,366 码传球距离、23 次达阵和 8 次拦截，但红雀队在这些比赛中的战绩为 1-11。
拉弗勒确认布里塞特的协议在周日训练前已签署，并表示这位老将将很快开始与先发球员一起训练。球队在四分卫位置上的其他主要选择是老将加德纳·明休 (Gardner Minshew) 和新秀卡森·贝克 (Carson Beck)。
艾尤克在 49 人的 处境依然尴尬 不满的接球手布兰登·艾尤克 (Brandon Aiyuk) 的处境依然尴尬，旧金山 49 人队在周六开启训练营时，艾尤克仍与该队持有合同，无法与另一支球队签约。
总经理约翰·林奇 (John Lynch) 在周六拒绝回答任何关于艾尤克状态的问题，这位前明星接球手仍处于上赛季末被列入的预备/离开球队名单中。
“布兰登处于‘离开球队’状态。因此，他不在我们的 90 人名单中，”林奇表示。“我个人，以及我们作为一个组织，将专注于在场的球员。所以，关于这一点我没有什么可说的，也没有什么要补充的。我们祝他好运，祝他的家人好运。”
艾尤克在休赛期多次在社交媒体上爆发，并表达了希望与他之前的大学四分卫杰登·丹尼尔斯 (Jayden Daniels) 在华盛顿指挥官队共同效力的愿望。
尽管林奇此前曾表示不认为艾尤克会再次为 49 人队效力，但在他申请之前，球队没有压力去改变他的状态。
卡森马队 (THE CARSON COLTS) 是卫冕的城市分区公开组冠军。
秋季足球训练开幕，希望永恒
混乱的，但 现在一切都 提前完成了。
作者：Eric Sondheimer
作者：Eric Sondheimer
在周一高中 11 人制美式足球训练的官方开课日，可能很难看到球员们兴奋地大声尖叫和喊叫的场景。这是因为这项运动已经转变为全年活动，球员们在今年春季和夏季的数周内就已经完成了体能训练、举重并学习了战术。对于许多项目来说，开课日与上周五发生的情况没有什么区别。
……重新加入联盟。 旧金山 49 人队在上一赛季末将 Aiyuk 放入了预备/离队名单，此前由于他未能参加会议和其他团队活动，球队取消了其 2026 年合同中 $27 million 的担保金。Aiyuk 在经历了一场使其缺席训练营的漫长合同僵局后，在 2024 赛季开始前签署了一份为期四年、$120-million 的延长合同。他刚结束 2023 赛季，在该赛季中他有 75 次接球，获得 1,342 码码数和 7 次达阵，并入选了全美职业最佳阵容（All-Pro）第二队。 Aiyuk 在 2024 年受伤前的七场比赛中仅有 25 次接球，获得 374 码码数。这位 28 岁球员自 2020 年在首轮被选中以来，共有 294 次接球，获得 4,305 码码数和 25 次达阵。
Bosa获准参加训练
49 人队明星防守端锋 Nick Bosa 在去年 9 月前交叉韧带撕裂后，现已获准开始训练营。而紧端锋 George Kittle 和其他三名 49 人队球员将以“身体无法执行”名单 (PUP) 的身份开始训练营。 Lynch 表示，Bosa 在休赛季的大部分时间都在球队设施中进行康复，而不是回到佛罗里达州家中，他将在训练营期间逐步恢复训练。 Lynch 表示，Kittle 在今年 1 月于费城的季后赛胜利中跟腱撕裂后取得了良好进展。球队并未排除他能及时赶上 9 月 11 日在澳大利亚对阵 Rams 的赛季揭幕战的可能性。
海鹰队将关键球员列入 PUP 名单
西雅图海鹰队跑卫 Zach Charbonnet 在与 49 人队的分区赛中 ACL 撕裂后，在训练营前被列入 PUP 名单。 海鹰队还将杰出安全卫 Nick Emmanwori 列入 PUP 名单，因为他最近接受了脚踝手术，但预计他将准备好参加 9 月 9 日周三晚上的揭幕战，届时将与新英格兰爱国者队再次交手。 他在超级碗前四天遭受了轻微扭伤，但仍带伤参赛。
“整个春季和夏季我们已经安装（布置）好了一切，”卡森教练 William Lowe 说道。“它失去了一些往昔的怀旧气息。” 在过去，第一天总是那么混乱且有趣，球员们不知道如何戴头盔，更不用说搞定肩垫，并在排队钻研中挣扎。现在，一切都提前完成了。 是的，可能会有一些没意识到要开始训练的新成员过来，但绝大多数情况下，周一是为了继续为 8 月 20-22 日开始的赛季做准备。 “最令人兴奋的事情是你终于能戴上头盔了，”首年执教惠蒂尔队的 Lorenzo Hernandez 说道，他曾在……执教。

倒计时结束。 NFL 训练营已经 开启。 每支球队目前的战绩都是 0-0，因此每个城市都寄希望于本赛季能以一场冠军游行收尾。 布赖斯·杨（Bryce Young）和卫冕 NFC 南区冠军的卡罗来纳黑豹队于周三报道。亚利桑那红雀队也同样报道，该队由新任教练迈克·拉弗勒（Mike LaFleur）率领。 这两支球队将在 8 月 6 日开赛的季前赛“名人堂之战”（Hall of Fame Game）中相遇。 卫冕超级碗冠军西雅图海鹰队和新英格兰爱国者队于周五开启训练营。他们将在 9 月 9 日常规赛揭幕战中进行一场超级碗重赛。 许多球队在第 1 周之前仍有大量问题需要解答。 通往 SoFi 体育场的路还很长，该场馆将于 2 月 14 日举办第 LXI 届超级碗。—— 情人节将成为该赛事有史以来最晚的比赛日期。 这仅仅意味着有更多的足球赛可以看。 有 10 支球队更换了新教练。有些球队更换了新四分卫。 少数超级巨星更换了球队。

在城市赛区。 卡森（Carson）作为卫冕的城市赛区公开组冠军，将有 5 天的强制适应期，然后在周六进行一场队内对抗赛。快马队（Colts）有超过 100 名球员参加足球训练，其中包括 37 名新生。 “我们希望在年底达到巅峰，而不是在 8 月，”洛夫（Lowe）说道。 快马队没有忘记他们在 2025 年最后一场比赛中发生的事情——在州季后赛中以 35-33 负于德拉诺·肯尼迪（Delano Kennedy），在那场比赛中，快马队的进攻线和防守线在整个过程中都被对方压制。 “我们在健身房花了很多时间，”洛夫说。“我们把‘变得更强壮、更强悍’铭刻在心中。” 没有球员可以参加-
报道参加训练营 公羊队和 49 人队于周六报道参加训练营，使得提前开启训练的球队达到了 6 支。这两支 NFC 西区竞争对手将于 9 月 10 日在澳大利亚进行常规赛首场比赛。其余 26 支球队将于周二报道。
新任主教练 约翰·哈博（John Harbaugh）在巴尔的摩执教 18 个赛季被解雇后加入了纽约巨人之队。他拥有贾克森·达特（Jaxson Dart）和一些有天赋的球员可以围绕其构建球队。 两届美联社年度教练凯文·斯特凡斯基（Kevin Stefanski）在克利夫兰执教 6 个赛季后接管了亚特兰大队。 他接手了一支在进攻端拥有众多得分手的球队，包括全明星跑卫比詹·罗宾逊（Bijan Robinson）、接球手德雷克·伦敦（Drake London）和紧端锋凯尔·皮茨（Kyle Pitts）。他们必须决定图亚·塔戈瓦洛亚（Tua Tagovailoa）或迈克尔·佩尼克斯（Michael Penix Jr.）谁将出任四分卫。 罗伯特·萨莱（Robert Saleh）是田纳西队的新掌舵人。钛坦队刚刚经历了连续 3-14 的赛季，但萨莱已经拥有了一名建队级四分卫卡姆·沃德（Cam Ward），并且他请来了布莱恩·达博尔（Brian Daboll）来培养他并运行进攻端。 迈克·麦卡锡（Mike McCarthy）和亚伦·罗杰斯（Aaron Rodgers）在匹兹堡重聚。他们曾在格林湾共同赢得过一次超级碗，目标是让钢队赢得自 2017 年 1 月以来的首场季后赛胜利。 另外 6 位新任主教练

四分卫 轮转
塔戈维洛亚 (Tagovailoa) 在迈阿密经历令人失望的结尾后，有机会在亚特兰大的斯特凡斯基 (Stefanski) 麾下重启职业生涯。凯勒·马雷 (Kyler Murray) 离开亚利桑那前往明尼苏达，维京人队 (Vikings) 希望他能保持健康并重现全明星赛 (Pro Bowl) 状态。 柯克·考辛斯 (Kirk Cousins) 是突袭者队的临时替代者，该队用总第 1 顺位选秀权选中了费尔南多·门多萨 (Fernando Mendoza)。马利克·威利斯 (Malik Willis) 将在绿湾的两个赛季中三次稳健的首发经历，转化为一份与海豚队签约的 $67.5 百万美元合同，其中包括 $45 百万美元的全额担保金。 吉诺·史密斯 (Geno Smith) 回到了喷气机队 (Jets)。贾斯汀·菲尔兹 (Justin Fields) 是堪萨斯城帕特里克·马霍姆斯 (Patrick Mahomes) 的新替补。 肯尼·皮克特 (Kenny Pickett) 是北卡罗来纳的新 2, 号，一名老将。安迪·道尔顿 (Andy Dalton) 加入费城在杰伦·赫茨 (Jalen Hurts) 之后效力，而加德纳·明休 (Gardner Minshew) 转会至红雀队 (Cardinals)。

在几个城市中进行竞争 Tagovailoa 和 Penix 将在亚特兰大进行竞争。Cousins 预计将在拉斯维加斯首发，但 Mendoza 可能会比预期更早地获得首发机会。Murray 必须击败 J.J. McCarthy，后者是明尼苏达维京人在 2024 年的第一轮选秀球员。最有趣的竞争将围绕布朗队的首发位置展开。Deshaun Watson 在缺席 2025 年后回归，并将与 Shedeur Sanders 竞争。
合同风波？ Baker Mayfield 是否会获得坦帕湾海盗队的合同续签？Mayfield 正处于一份为期三年、价值 $100 million 合同的最后一个赛季。预计他每赛季将获得约 $55 million，因此再签一份三年合同是合理的。
联合训练 越来越多的球队选择通过与其他对手进行训练，而非通过季前赛，来让他们的四分卫和关键首发球员为常规赛做准备。只有狮子队、酋长队、野马队和钢骨队没有参与任何联合训练。
名单削减 球队在整个训练营期间以及所有季前赛中最多可保留 90 名球员。名单必须在 8 月 30 日太平洋夏季时间下午 3 点前削减至 53 人。

在死伤人数 之下深挖
一名 FBI 探员追踪一名 有着复杂历史的 女性连环杀手。
周一在 Hulu 首播的 《愤怒》（Furious） 在技术上是一个连环杀手 故事，因为一个角色 犯下了多起谋杀案，但 令人高兴的是，这只是 最次要的部分。 广义地说，这类故事—— 由“在他们再次杀人前 阻止他们”的计时器驱动， 将反派塑造为挑剔的天才 或恐怖电影中的怪物， 而非投机取巧的平庸之辈—— 在我看来是低级的虚构形式。 但《愤怒》既是关系剧 也是程序剧，由四位 出色的表演者驱动， 在叙事过程中探讨了 虐待、剥削和爱。 尽管由伊丽莎白·梅里韦瑟 （Elizabeth Meriwether， 曾参与《新女孩》、《为了性而死》） 创作的《愤怒》承认在 灵感上欠下了 1987 年 特蕾莎·罗素（Theresa Russell） 和黛博拉·温格（Debra Winger） 主演的电影《黑寡妇》之情， 但它真正保留的仅有 几个名字、女性连环杀手 的概念，以及追踪她的 女性与其之间的情感关系。 杀手是凯瑟琳（Catherine， 由 Lola Peticrew 饰演）， 一名娇小的年轻女性， 她戴着各种假发，使用 各种名字，小心地在 公众面前伪装。 她的谋杀并非强迫， 而是一项使命， 就像《新娘穿黑衣》中的 珍妮·莫罗（Jeanne Moreau）。 她的对头是爱丽丝

《哈迪斯城： 音乐剧》
评论 KATIE WALSH 一部炽热的神话音乐剧
依然保有 震撼观众的魔力
创作歌手安奈丝·米切尔 (Anaïs Mitchell) 在 2006. 年首次为《哈迪斯城》创作曲目，这是一部基于希腊神话的民谣音乐剧。二十年后，这部荣获托尼奖的现象级音乐剧以 2025, 年在西区拍摄的电影版本登上大银幕，由布雷特·苏利文 (Brett Sullivan) 执导。该制作让原班百老汇卡司——安德烈·德·希尔兹 (André De Shields)、帕特里克·佩奇 (Patrick Page)、里夫·卡尼 (Reeve Carney)、艾娃·诺布莱萨达 (Eva Noblezada) 和安伯·格雷 (Amber Gray) 在该剧于 2019 年首演并横扫托尼奖六年之后再次团聚。
米切尔的作品具有一种永恒感，这在很大程度上归功于古老的素材——关于奥路菲斯 (Orpheus)、欧丽狄丝 (Eurydice)、哈迪斯 (Hades) 和珀耳塞福涅 (Persephone) 的神话。该剧在与百老汇剧集导演瑞秋·查夫金 (Rachel Chavkin) 合作开发，背景设定在 20 世纪 30 年代左右的美国深南地区。故事表达了关于爱、牺牲、压迫、成瘾和奉献的永恒主题，将现实之悲剧与对未来可能之愿景的希望并置。
在某些时刻，米切尔的歌曲显得具有惊人的预见性：剧中的反派哈迪斯（佩奇 饰）以法西斯主义工业家的身份统治着哈迪斯城的地下世界；他在第一幕结束时的曲目名为《为什么我们筑墙》（Why We Build the Wall）。工厂工人向他唱道：“我们筑墙是为了获得自由”，这段合唱预示了 2016 年特朗普式的修辞，并提醒人们这些
评论员 罗伯特·阿贝莱 (ROBERT ABELE) 《美国帕丘科》(American Pachuco) 关于被看见、被听见的指南
路易斯·瓦尔德兹 (Luis Valdez) 获得一部 极具吸引力的 纪录片剖析。
在美国，有许多致力于奇卡诺 (Chicano) 赋权的坚定人物。但在艺术领域，剧作家、导演兼经纪人路易斯·瓦尔德兹——这位创办了旨在挑衅性地唤醒意识的“农民剧团”(El Teatro Campesino)，并创作了具有历史影响力的热门剧作《祖特套装》(Zoot Suit) 和《拉邦巴》(La Bamba) 的移民农工之子——占据着一个独特的地位，而这一地位是通过非凡的毅力取得的。
极具吸引力且活泼轻快的纪录片《美国帕丘科：路易斯·瓦尔德兹传奇》(American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez) 追踪了他的轨迹，其生命力与目的感与被拍摄的主题相得益彰。影片以瓦尔德兹本人为核心，他现年 80 多岁，在镜头前如同一头慈祥的雄狮，影片用丰富的档案影像以及来自家庭成员、合作者和同行的证词，来补充他生动的人生细节。此外，选择爱德华·詹姆斯·奥尔莫斯 (Edward James Olmos) 担任旁白是一个大胆且悄然奏效的决定，他再次唤起在《祖特套装》中那标志性的、成就其星位的“帕丘科”(El Pachuco) 般的低吼，提醒我们瓦尔德兹对戏剧经典做出的核心贡献之一。（奥尔莫斯也是受访者之一，奇奇·马林 (Cheech Marin)、泰勒·哈克福德 (Taylor Hackford)、卢·戴蒙德·菲利普斯 (Lou Diamond Phillips) 以及劳工领袖多洛雷斯·胡尔塔 (Dolores Huerta) 同样如此。）
《美国帕丘科： 路易斯·瓦尔德兹传奇》
分而治之与异类化 (otherization) 的模式是压迫者永恒的工具。
《哈德斯镇》(Hadestown) 首先是一个爱情故事，背景设定在一个欢乐的酒馆中，乐队在舞台上奏响。镜头跟随我们的叙述者赫尔墨斯 (Hermes)——由美国戏剧传奇人物德·希尔兹 (De Shields) 饰演——他走上舞台，亲吻他剧组人员的头部。
但直到 79 岁的德·希尔兹帅气地翻开外套，在观众赞许的欢呼声中，演出才正式开始。他介绍了注定悲剧的俄耳甫斯 (Orpheus，由卡尼 (Carney) 饰演)，“深受众神眷顾”，一个天生渴望且赋有歌唱天赋的人。当欧律狄刻 (Eurydice，由诺布莱萨达 (Noblezada) 饰演) 这个倔强、多疑的瘦小女孩来到镇上时，俄耳甫斯瞬间陷入情网。他们除了彼此一无所有，他们的爱由俄耳甫斯献上的一朵红花来象征。
派对女孩珀耳塞福涅 (Persephone，由格雷 (Gray) 饰演) 带来了夏日的欢乐，但她那充满嫉妒的情人哈得斯 (Hades) 想在自己的领域中独占她，将世界困在漫长的冬季里。俄耳甫斯承诺写一首歌来重新召唤春天，但挣扎中的欧律狄刻被哈得斯在哈德斯镇提供安全保障的承诺所诱惑，她随他而去，签署了终身合同在他的工厂工作。俄耳甫斯试图营救

他深爱着她，但他对她的信念在他们返回顶峰时受到了考验——如果他回头看她是否在那儿，她将被永远放逐到哈迪斯镇（Hadestown）。
现实生活中的情侣卡尼（Carney）和诺布莱萨达（Noblezada）在这次演出结束几个月后结婚了；他们在诺布莱萨达试镜时相识。他们的化学反应让这部悲剧的情感摧毁感变得更加真实：每位主演在演出过程中都会落下真情之泪。卡尼独特的男高音音域跨度从杰夫·巴克利（Jeff Buckley）到弗雷迪·默丘里（Freddie Mercury）；他的摇滚背景和吉他技巧被用于演绎俄耳甫斯（Orpheus）的里拉琴演奏，并为米切尔（Mitchell）歌曲中的民谣根源增色。
摄影师克莱顿·雅各布森（Clayton Jacobsen）捕捉到了观众（即使是坐在不错位置的观众）无法看到的出人意料的相机角度，包括从圆形池底向上以及从上方向下拍摄。他让镜头在观众头顶飞跃，进入亲密的中景镜头。
沙利文（Sullivan）将活跃且经常喧闹的观众变成了电影体验不可或缺的一部分，包括一段较长的谢幕，由德希尔兹（De Shields）向观众致意，用他带观众进入剧场时的那种温暖将他们送走。
剧场具有这样一种时间特质，一种在时间和空间上的共同时刻。这次演出感觉像是一个转瞬即逝的时刻——一群朋友和合作者的重聚，重新讲述一个被反复讲述的神话。“这是一首悲歌，但我们依然吟唱，”赫尔墨斯（Hermes）提醒我们，这种情感值得重复。
或许有悲剧，但夏天终将回归。
不仅是必要的，更是这场战斗的招募工具。我们听到一个描述底层美学的词汇“rasquachismo”被用来形容这些早期的即兴表演：本质上是一种色彩斑斓的古怪感，“古怪到没有任何东西能击垮你，”瓦尔德斯（Valdez）说道。就好像在那些珍贵的葡萄田里，收获了一些更接地气、更强韧的东西。
《盒子里的羊》是是枝裕和的一次罕见失手。
《盒子里的羊》
深受赞誉的日本编剧兼导演是枝裕和擅长拍摄温情且感伤的电影，探讨那些在家庭基石上形成的微小裂缝。当他处于巅峰状态时，例如在 2018 年获得奥斯卡提名的《小偷家族》中，他的故事以一种从容的节奏展开，其栩栩如生的流动感缓慢地构建成某种更宏大、更深邃的东西，关于连接我们的纽带——以及有时将我们撕裂的力量。但当是枝裕和的执行不够稳健时，正如他在最新作品中的情况，所有那些细腻之处就简单地飘散在虚空中，最终往往只像是一次心不在焉的耸肩。
在对 AI 日益渗透我们生活的焦虑时代的推测性科幻描写中，《盒子里的羊》的时机之选择可谓恰到好处，它甚至以某种方式让悲痛的父母找回了死去的孩子。但在一个熟悉的设定之后，电影顽固地拒绝向引人入胜的新方向发展，或提供新鲜的观察。尽管电影背景设定在未来，但是枝裕和的思想却显得过时。
在是枝裕和 2015 年的兄妹剧《海街日记》中主演的绫濑遥，在片中饰演音音，一名仍因 2 年前失去幼子翔在心中留下创伤的建筑师。她在邮件中收到了一封来自 REbirth 公司的奇怪邀请，该公司声称可以创建已故挚爱的类人复制品。她的丈夫健介（山本大悟 饰）对这项服务表示保留意见——他坚称——“他们是利用不幸牟利的鬣狗”，但音音态度坚决。很快，一个长得与翔一模一样的安卓机器人（新人久胁莉梦 饰）出现在了他们家门口。
从《皮诺曹》到《人工智能》，许多电影都触及了试图模拟生命的危险；而近期的《梅根》和《陪伴》则讽刺了 AI 那种令人难以分辨真伪的潜移默化的技巧。但即便《盒子里的羊》与这些令人难忘的电影有所重叠，这个故事对于是枝裕和来说似乎也是重新审视他最喜爱的主题的理想机会：丧失之痛如何挥之不去。此外，他的这部新片让人回想起《气球》，那是他 2009 年拍摄的一部关于性爱娃娃产生意识的挑衅之作。
然而，他的最新作未能神奇地超越其看似简单的前提。部分问题在于缺乏层次感的人物。起初，音音和健介在是否将这个新的翔带回家的问题上产生分歧。（在 REbirth 公司一段赞美其所谓高尚使命的煽情视频演示中，他翻白眼，而她则在流泪。）但随着父母双方都与这个机器人熟悉起来，这种冲突很快就消失了，

伊丽莎白·向日葵复古照片档案库
在越南战争 era, 时期的劳工斗争之后，Valdez 将 El Teatro Campesino 的使命推向全国。 通过其剧作《Los Vendidos (出卖者)》——关于一家销售代表奇卡诺（Chicano）刻板印象的自动机器人的商店——的电视改编剧片段，强调了同化过程中持续存在的紧张关系，这是一种伪装成接纳的陷阱。但这部作品也反映了 Valdez 对他长期疏远的哥哥 Frank 的感受，Frank 是一名工程师，他为了融入环境而努力否认自身背景的疏离行为，构成了 Valdez 生活中的一股沉重暗流。 《Zoot Suit》是一部雄心勃勃的音乐化、充斥俚语的舞台剧，展现了洛杉矶著名的 1943 年 Zoot Suit 骚乱背后的暴力不公正。
其记忆仅限于这对夫妇提供的信息。由于 Kakeru 的死亡在某种程度上笼罩在谜团之中——Otone 和 Kensuke 委婉地将其称为“那次事故”——《盒子里的羊》(Sheep in the Box) 最终变成了父亲试图寻找答案，以此来减轻他内心折磨的愧疚感。
遗憾的是，这些平庸的揭秘未能引发是枝裕和通常能榨出的泪水。这种冷淡的反应与电影对我们这个技术至上世界的淡漠态度是一致的。一段宁静的开场镜头由美丽的海岸景色组成，但很快就被携带包裹的嗡嗡作响的无人机所入侵。RE-birth 的办公室时尚但单调。在这个未来中，没有惊奇也没有恐惧——只有一种无奈的接受，即尽管每个人都拥有各种精巧的设备，但没有什么值得称道。而且，与电影此前创造的 AI 不同，Kakeru 对于自己是否拥有灵魂并没有强烈的好奇心。当生活失去了火花，谁在乎它是否“真实”？
作曲家 Bando Yuta 动听的配乐暗示了 Otone 和 Kensuke 积压的悲伤，即使在 Kakeru 回到他们身边之后依然如此。但由于是枝裕和水准之下的剧本缺乏情感深度，导演依赖于 Bando 来推销一种观众并未感受到的凄美感。
是枝裕和的电影经常聚焦于那些并不像他们预想中那样幸福的个体。《盒子里的羊》暗示，在不久的将来，这些心理创伤可能会被重新触碰。但这部电影并未能足够紧密地模拟生活本身在心灵与灵魂上的复杂性，而是陷入了一种“恐怖谷”，其中的戏剧冲突显然是人工雕琢的。

在 1978 年大获成功（尽管纽约当时的评价较为狭隘）。关于 Ritchie Valens 传记电影《La Bamba》如何诞生的故事——这是遗产维护与精明选角的微妙结合——同样令人振奋且具有启发性，尽管在如此巨大的成功之后，没有深入探讨为何没有更多类似电影跟进，这似乎是一个缺失。（不过，既然这是好莱坞，我们可以猜测其中的原因。）
在 David Alvarado 描绘的生活、艺术和激进主义图景中，有太多值得思考的内容，使得《美国 Pachuco》(American Pachuco) 像是一次令人愉快的挑战，献给那些在寻找自我之声或意义的人们。尽管 Valdez 作为一个记录自己生活的编年史作者非常有吸引力，但他关于如何被看见、被听到——以及如何维持这种状态——的教训显得尤为及时。在我们这个妖魔化的当下，这样一个先驱真话讲述者的故事，有力地回应了我们多元融合的美国未来的需求。
在《狂怒》(Furious) 中 反转陈词滥调
[《狂怒》，见 E1 版]
布莱克 (Emmy Rossum 饰) 曾是一名警察侦探，现在为联邦调查局 (FBI) 接听电话。在纽约市警察局 (NYPD)，她成了不受欢迎的人，因为她指认自己的侦探男友（Jake Lacy 饰，角色名为马歇尔）是将她送进医院的人——毕竟，你知道的，警察就是那样。有一天，前同事丹尼·凯利 (Scoot McNairy) 请求她协助调查我们在剧集开头看到的凯瑟琳所犯下的谋杀案。
这起犯罪的各种元素让人想起早先的一起杀人案；爱丽丝认为它们之间存在联系，并且可能与性贩卖或最终与一起无名女尸 (Jane Doe) 的悬案有关。这让她找到了诺拉·华盛顿 (Quincy Tyler Bernstine) 的办公桌前，而诺拉恰巧负责管理爱丽丝一直希望能加入的那个 FBI 部门。“你申请了我的小组，”诺拉说，“为什么你想在地下室处理性犯罪和针对儿童的犯罪——你讨厌你自己吗？”也许她确实如此——她策划的网络约会中，前戏是拳击，且她的过去中有一些相关的创伤。
在与其他主要角色共同出演的场景中，无论是需要激烈还是敏感，爱丽丝都是该剧围绕其旋转并快速推进的核心。丹尼在部门中因为表示相信她而变得孤立，他是她唯一的朋友。（“但最疯狂的狗屁是，你……也不再跟我说话了。”）

[麦克纳马拉，见 E1 版]
用目前电影制作者能够获得的最具艺术沉浸感的格式，重新构思一个近 3,000 年前的故事，这在文化上具有无可争议的宏伟感。不幸的是，绝大多数观众将永远无法看到这一大师级的愿景；全国只有 25 家电影院能够以 Imax 70mm 格式放映这部电影——加州 8 家（包括洛杉矶地区 4 家）；科罗拉多州、纽约州、德克萨斯州和田纳西州各 2 家；亚利桑那州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、伊利诺伊州、印第安纳州、密歇根州、内华达州、宾夕法尼亚州和罗德岛州各 1 家。
这个数量仅比今年美国世界杯场馆的数量多出一点。但话说回来，你可以在电视上观看世界杯。
但这并不意味着你很快就能在电视上看到《奥德赛》。作为电影院体验的坚定捍卫者，诺兰要求他的电影在电影院停留的时间比普通电影长得多，且远离流媒体——《奥德赛》可能直到 2027 年初才会在 NBCUniversal 的 Peacock 平台上线。

《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）已经回收了其 $250-million 制作预算。它需要获得 $625 million to $750 million 才能达到盈亏平衡，而这看起来是非常可行的。《奥德赛》很有可能成为史上第三部全球票房突破 $1 billion 的 R 级电影。
然而，尽管存在电影领域的虚荣心态，但这其中很大一部分将通过非 Imax 70mm 版本的放映来实现，而这些放映版本的种类之多简直可以用“荷马史诗级”来形容。除了让大众重新熟悉一个自中学项目或大学古典文学课以来大多数人就不太关注的故事外，《奥德赛》还在提供一堂关于“高级放映格式”的课程。
在电影官方网站上，观众可以用 Imax 70mm、标准 Imax、标准 70mm、杜比视界（Dolby Vision）和大画幅格式观看预告片。由于个人屏幕的限制，这只能揭示出不同的画面尺寸，但翻阅起来还是相当有趣的。
而没那么有趣的是，试图弄清楚到底可以在哪个版本的电影中、在何时何地才能真正看到这该死的电影。虽然不能与对抗食人独眼巨魔或厌倦世界的女巫相提并论，但即便在上映周末之后，想要买到一张《奥德赛》的票，依然是一场充满障碍的航行。
其中包括但不限于近期 AMC 应用程序的崩溃。
我可能（也可能没有）促成了这次危机，因为我最近花了一个多小时，试图买到区区两张票。
尽管这违背了我所有反精英主义的信念，但我确实尝试利用我的洛杉矶特权，按照克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nolan）的意愿——以 Imax 70mm 格式观看《奥德赛》。哎，可惜几天内唯一可选的座位，即便是在标准 Imax 和 70mm 厅，也都在第一排。我被迫“降级”到 Burbank 16, 的杜比视界厅，在那里，在雅典娜的恩典下，我找到了两个非前排的座位，尽管是在工作日的中间。（谢天谢地，这对我来说实际上算是在工作。）
我不具备争论饱和度水平或任何其他格式差异的专业能力，但杜比的体验非常具有沉浸感，无论是电影细节（风暴！屠杀！求婚者溅出的葡萄酒！）还是令人心跳紊乱的低音。
当然，当我精疲力竭、迷失方向，像死人一样（发出“像羽毛一样”的声音）或像是在讲述一个希腊神话故事时，我感觉自己有点像奥德修斯。
SCOOT McNairy 和 Emmy Rossum 在新剧《Furious》中饰演追踪多起谋杀案的 FBI 探员。
（“我不是前警察。我上过名校，而且我非常聪明，”她说道，此时已酩酊大醉。）
至于凯瑟琳（Catherine），她是狡猾的狐狸与受伤之鸟的结合体。她可能具有操纵欲且残忍，但由于我们被告知了讨厌她那些受害者的理由——一群富有的白人，只有一个可悲的例外——而且因为爱丽丝（Alice）在某种程度上感到与她有联系，加上她经历过悲惨的生活，因此在主角身上并没有多少讨厌反派的成分。
剧情中缝合了一些悲哀的讽刺，以及一个令人不安的后期反转，不过该剧并没有沉溺其中。我们明白凯瑟琳有她的理由，而且在某种奇怪的程度上，我们希望看到她完成她的使命。她可能是一个杀手，但她并不是反派。
它并不完美。我们感到的惊讶程度至少不及预想。部分情节超出了可信度。还存在一些老派的管辖权冲突——
伊萨卡的沙滩——在阳光下铺展开。那是一种无与伦比的体验（说正经的，为了在 Imax 70mm 格式下生存下来，我可能得去接受训练）。
因此，当评论家们宣称《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）的成功反映了关于电影观众需求的某种更宏大的主题时，我感到有些困惑。除了，你知道的，这是一部极具震撼力的电影之外。
这是近年来最独特的一部电影。如此独特，以至于它几乎排斥任何形式的预言式分析，或者，天哪，任何试图复制它的尝试。我不认为荷马衍生剧有前途（除非有人想拍一部由萨曼莎·莫顿主演的关于喀尔刻的限定剧），而且虽然赞颂 Imax 70mm 电影制作与放映的工艺至关重要，但院线体验不能承受将全部、甚至大部分筹码都押在这个篮子里。
增加对“高端格式”的依赖，在家庭观影与院线观影之间这场日益失衡的战争中，似乎是一个显而易见的武器，但这并不是答案。或者至少不是唯一的答案。（首先，Imax 70mm 的摄像机或放映机数量根本不够分配。）
就像体育迷一样，许多电影发烧友愿意花费数小时和金钱来获得极致的体验——那些跨州奔波和/或花费数千美元观看 Imax 70mm 版《奥德赛》的故事，与近期国际游客攒一年钱去世界杯现场观看支持球队的故事如出一辙。
尽管这对电影迷来说极具肯定意义，但这并不是一个可持续的商业计划。电影应该是面向所有人的。而不仅仅是那些家附近有 Imax 70mm 影院，或者能支付 $30 购买普通 Imax 席位的人。看电影不应该需要花费数小时研究如何选择影院、与黄牛讨价还价，或者寻找 AI 辅助的方案来操纵系统。而且不应该存在如此明显且在地理上被操纵的阶级之分。
不知不觉中，Live Nation 也会介入进来，到那时我们又会处于什么样的境地？
《奥德赛》是一个真正的现象级作品，这太棒了；祝愿诺兰以及受益的电影院获得更多成功。至于作为解决票房下滑的方案，嗯，如果好莱坞不想走上——正如蒂莫西·查拉梅那句名言所说——芭蕾和歌剧那样，它就不能让自己依赖于那些

警察与 FBI 之间的矛盾（就像在《收敛者》的每四集里那样），以及部门内部大量的专业嫉妒。
但这部剧之所以迷人，与其说是因为情节，不如说是因为演员。罗斯姆在演绎她的角色时，仿佛在演一场希腊悲剧。（发型增强了这种印象。）麦克奈尔作为电视圈最讨喜的演员之一，带来了温暖。佩蒂克鲁唤起了破碎的纯真。伯恩斯坦在一个通常趋于陈词滥调的角色中找到了新的基调。
我还想提到伟大的霍普·戴维斯，她饰演一名受害者的姐姐；以及一名有秘密可藏的、有背景的大亨之子；尤其是史蒂夫·韦，他饰演的奥尔登（“拉米”）是凯瑟琳生命中的正能量，也是剧中的幽默之源；他天生患有脊髓性肌肉萎缩症，在电动轮椅上完成了一些出色的肢体喜剧表演。
导演（布莱恩·柯克执导了前两集）手法干脆且写实，不喧宾夺主，当剧本出色且演员演技精湛时，这就是你所能要求的全部。
仅有极小比例的观众能够接触到。
当然，《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）采用 Imax 70mm 和常规 70mm 拍摄并放映是一件很棒的事，尤其是在今年那些源自 YouTube 的故事也在大银幕上大行其道之际。艺术永远不应该是某种替代的等式。支持各种形式的作品，始终是保护和颂扬电影制作之精彩多样性的最佳方式。
无论其形式多么无与伦比，它仍然必须服从于功能。
无论以何种格式观看，《奥德赛》都是一部史诗般的冒险之作，其情感底色超越了原著故事，而其传递的存在主义信息比那些点缀其中的现代语言更具共鸣。诺兰（Nolan）对特洛伊木马、独眼巨人、特洛伊陷落以及人变猪等场景的非 CGI 视觉呈现，并不需要一个“极致”的宽高比才显得卓越。
各种不同的格式都有其支持者，关于它们的讨论也具有娱乐性和启发性，但无论电影本身还是屏幕尺寸如何，这都是一部非常优秀的电影。
而这正是好莱坞唯一需要遵循的模板。

我俱乐部的一位年长球员说，他每天都能学到新东西——但至少会忘记五件事。
作为 the declarer（庄家），你可能需要信息来指导你的打法，例如定位一张缺失的 honor（高牌）。通过攻击另一门花色来主动确定某一花色牌分布的尝试被称为“discovery play”（探测打法）。
在面对六张红桃（hearts）的情况下，西家出了一张高方块（diamond）； dummy（明手）的 Q 赢牌。如果南家在主牌或梅花（clubs）中通过 finesse（试牌）获胜，则可以成功；但为了获取信息，他在第二轮出 spades（黑桃）K。东家的 A 盖过，南家随后在梅花中 ruff（吃掉）并尝试 finesse。东家拿走 K 并出另一张方块。
南家学到了一些有用的信息。东家已经显示出
亲爱的埃里克：我在一个沉默的家庭中长大。我曾是一个感到羞耻、被排斥的孩子，并学会了保持沉默。我的一个姐姐是备受宠爱的美丽之星。而我和我的哥哥则备受羞辱，且我们非常害怕父亲。
我那离异的母亲显然偷走并保留了我童年时期的一些日记，把它们放在她的写字桌里。在她去世后，我们清理她的住所时，那个受宠的姐姐拿走了那张桌子。有人告诉我，我的日记成了我姐姐、她的孩子们以及我已故父亲的遗孀的绝佳娱乐项目。
我甚至不记得自己写了什么。直到大学时有人指出我从不说话，我才学会如何自在地与人交流。我开始模仿那些社交能力更好的人，就这样习得了社交技巧。
我想拿回那些日记，但现在是否太晚了？我甚至觉得开口询问都令人羞耻。我为自己成了家庭的笑柄而感到尴尬。我知道一旦我询问，我姐姐一定会大笑起来。此外，我爱我已故的母亲，但我对她偷走我的日记感到愤怒。这在某种程度上毁了我对唯一向我表达过爱的人的感情。
尴尬的成年之子
7/27/26
亲爱的成年之子：要求拿回日记并不太晚。它们是你的——你的日记，你的感受，你的经历。任何人都不应该拿走它们，且在未经你允许的情况下，任何人都不应该阅读它们。
对于你经历了家庭中多名成员这种背信弃义的行为，我深表遗憾。这是不对的。
一旦你觉得能够面对，就应该向你姐姐要求拿回日记。你不需要为此争论，也不需要解释为什么想要回它们。
是否想要重新阅读它们取决于你，但如果你选择这么做，你可能需要做好心理准备，并试着向那个写下日记的过去的自己展现温柔与爱。不要去想你的姐姐在阅读时可能怎么想或说了什么。她对你日记内容的看法并不重要。事实上，如果这里有任何羞耻之情，应该是她去感受。如果她阅读并分享了你的私密记录，这表明她严重缺乏品格。你没有什么好感到羞耻的。
亲爱的埃里克：我有一个亲戚，他的儿子最近毕业了。我和我哥哥被邀请参加毕业典礼，以及随后的晚餐。但毕业生突然生病，不想去。
他最终还是参加了毕业典礼。我被告知庆祝晚餐将另定时间。现在已经快三周了，至今还没有确定日期。我开始怀疑他们是否在没有我和我哥哥的情况下偷偷举行了晚餐。我想知道这种行为是否正确。邀请某人参加活动，然后取消并称将重新安排，却再无任何音讯，这样做是否粗鲁？

亲爱的“未受邀者”：虽然你所描述的情况确实有可能发生，但看起来并非最可能的结果。策划一场庆祝晚餐，尤其是与大家族成员在一起时，可能会面临后勤统筹上的挑战。或者，家人可能单纯是因为其他计划而被耽搁了。最简单让心安的方法就是主动联系，询问替代日期，并在你仍有兴趣参加的情况下，重新确认你的加入意愿。
如果你有理由认为这个家庭可能是故意将你排除在外——例如，过去就有过类似的行为模式——那么先处理根源问题可能是一个好主意。整件事可能根本没什么大碍，但如果你觉得与他们的关系不够稳固，那么先理清自己的感受，然后与他们坦诚沟通，将是比较健康的做法。

[Warped，摘自 E1] 我必须在行业中为自己开辟一个细分市场。我从来就无法真正地随波逐流。我身上带着那种 80 年代在 Goldenvoice 工作时他们灌输给我的叛逆精神，当时 Gary Tovar 也很叛逆。所以我一直持有这样的心态：“嘿，让我们打破常规。让我们创造一些属于自己的东西。” 即使我现在在南加州大学 (USC) 任教，我也会说你必须学习每门业务的基础。而对我来说，这些基础就是我在洛杉矶的俱乐部里工作了 12 年，每年 320 个夜晚，然后你必须创造出属于自己的东西。 我总是说，当你决定去做的时候——就全力以赴。我这么做了，而且似乎吸引了足够多的人，并引起了我周围足够多人的共鸣，他们说：“哇，这个很不一样。他需要在这个方向上努力。但与其打击他，不如支持他。”……我一直是个颠覆者，而我引起的颠覆吸引了足够多的人。现在我们是一个细分群体。Warped 是一个很棒的细分市场。
在今年规划期间，您是如何让人们全年都关注 Warped 的？ 这是一个挑战，因为以前我们有为期两个月的巡演，所以我们能够建立社区来维持讨论。社区对我来说是一个巨大的驱动力。我们现在所做的一切都是在投资社区，我认为这很有效。[在 1 月份] 我们在长滩市中心举办了一场由 Holy Wars 乐队参与的活动，我们在奥兰多举办了一场活动。我们在弗吉尼亚州的一个兄弟会后院举办了一场活动，我们在墨西哥城和蒙特利尔举办了活动……包括罐头食物捐赠、献血活动，或者，你知道的，选民登记。我们会投放这类活动，以便我们能持续地出现在每个人的脑海中。这与变现无关。我认为人们总是在问：“你如何从超级粉丝那里变现？” 而我的想法是：“你如何回报他们？” 在长滩给人们提供一个周日下午的免费活动，这就是一种感谢。正是这些人，在当你……
[‘Drive’，摘自 E1] 《Drive》导演受到《十六岁烛光》的影响
夜晚的灯光，并使其毫不逊色地成为了一个即时的当地经典。 雷夫在美国的首部电影《Drive》将 Gosling 塑造为一个没有名字的年轻人，白天从事机械师和偶尔的特技驾驶员工作，夜晚则是受雇于犯罪分子的逃逸车手。他安静、有规律的生活在与他那位脆弱的邻居（Carey Mulligan）及其幼子交友后陷入混乱，很快，他们各自的世界发生了碰撞。 在过去的十年中，雷夫大部分时间都在制作流媒体剧集——为亚马逊制作的《Too Old to Die Young》和为 奈飞 / 网飞 制作的《Copenhagen Cowboy》——现在他再次回归电影。他的最新电影，恐怖与奇幻结合的《Her Private Hell》，由 Sophie Thatcher 和 Charles Melton 主演，于上周末上映。 雷夫为了宣传电影来到本市，周五晚上出现在美国电影资料馆 (American Cinematheque) 的 Los Feliz 剧院，参加《Drive》的 15 周年放映活动。 现年 55 岁的雷夫最近在洛杉矶通过视频通话，谈到了《Drive》难以预料的影响以及一些较为出人意料的灵感来源。
这部电影在上映时引起了巨大的文化现象——原声带非常受欢迎，人们穿着那件蝎子夹克。您认为观众是在回应什么？ 我从不分析原因。那只是许多不同事物共同碰撞产生的神奇化学反应。我很幸运能拥有那样的体验。而且我认为，试图重建那种体验几乎会剥夺它的神秘感。那是多层维度的碰撞，你无法计划，也无法准备。我只是极其幸运。

比你之前的任何电影都更具浪漫色彩。你当时是打算拍一个你自己的浪漫爱情版本吗？ 这是一个关于青少年爱情的故事。在我很年轻、刚进入青春期的时候，有一部电影对我产生了巨大的影响，片名叫做《十六支蜡烛》（Sixteen Candles）。我不知道你是否记得这部片子。但那种坠入爱河的纯真感一直留在我的心中。我想，《Drive》就是我对那种纯真感的诠释。
当人们谈论《Drive》时，他们经常提到像《驾驶员》（The Driver）、《窃贼》（Thief）或《极点》（Point Blank）这类硬汉电影。但当你谈论《Drive》时，你应该谈论《十六支蜡烛》和《一个 the 漂亮的女人》（Pretty Woman）。那里有一种紧张感，非常令人兴奋。 你必须始终尝试去做一些事情——不是为了与众不同，而是为了在创意上探索你内心其他的调色盘。显然，我之前拍了《布朗森》（Bronson）和《瓦尔哈拉崛起》（Valhalla Rising），这两部电影讨论的是另一个自我。所以对我来说，《Drive》只是这种延伸。虽然你之前创作的作品会对接下来的作品产生某些预期，但这并不一定非要按顺序来。所以，我纯粹地将《Drive》视为我的爱情故事。
你提到过你和瑞安·高斯林（Ryan Gosling）在当时感觉联系非常紧密。这种感觉来自哪里？ 我们当时都是天真的理想主义者，内心都蕴含着巨大的情感，都在试图寻找释放这些情感的地方。因此，他很容易地成为了我的另一个自我。
你说过你想和他一起拍第三部电影——你们的第二部是 2013 年的《只有上帝能原谅》（Only God Forgives）。你心中有具体的目标吗？ 嗯，每当我们联系时，这都是我们经常谈论的话题。“三部曲”的行为总是一场有趣的奥德赛之旅，因为它在某种程度上巩固了你是如何开始的，中间发生了什么，以及最后如何结束。所以我们知道，我们内心至少还揣着一部电影。
电影中对洛杉矶的愿景并不典型：圣费尔南多谷（the Valley）的仓库，市中心的后巷。那时你刚来到这座城市不久。你是如何发现《Drive》中的洛杉矶的？ 我对洛杉矶几乎一无所知。所以，当你天生是个窥视者——在很多方面我确实如此——我想在某种程度上我也像个色情摄影师——当你来到一个地方并以局外人的视角观察时，有时你会从平凡中看到美，在预料之中看到美。然后当你把目光聚焦其上，你就能将其转化，尽管你可能已经走过同一个街区一千次。对你来说可能很普通的东西，对我来说可能非常异域。而正因为是我这样看待它，它就变得异域风情。 当我回来拍《霓虹恶魔》（The Neon Demon）时，我从拍摄《Drive》时的住所搬到了洛杉矶的另一个区域。后来当我回来拍摄我的剧集《太老而不能英年早逝》（Too Old to Die Young）时，我又搬到了第三个区域。洛杉矶是我最喜欢工作的地方，因为这里有如此多样化的机会，有如此丰富的文化，以及有趣的演员和表演者。这是一种生活在幻象中的图像学。我非常喜欢在这里工作。
在 L.A. 背景的《Drive》中，瑞安·高斯林的饰演角色白天是一名机械师，夜晚是一名受雇的犯罪车手。
发布一段视频，他们会与所有朋友分享，然后他们会告诉学校里的孩子。参加 Warped 巡演的人中，有三分之一以前从未去过节日活动甚至从未去过音乐会，所以我们需要用不同的方式吸引他们。
在预定节日演出时，你寻找那些你愿意尝试机会的乐队的方式是什么？ 嗯，我有一个很棒的预订人叫阿曼达·费伦（Amanda Phelan）。她和我一起负责预订，所以她相当于在基层与经纪人等人沟通。我现在不一定做那么多这类工作。我会和他们交谈，但我的角色更像是：“哦，我想看看其他乐队在讨论哪些乐队，或者年轻人都在讨论什么。”此外，我还会与许多我以前共事过的独立推广员沟通。
因此，我更倾向于在所有层面上拥有自由。我想做什么？我觉得那样生活更有乐趣。这并不意味着我没有过精彩的会面或在优秀的地方工作过，但在某种程度上，那对我来说太局限了。我需要像鸟儿一样自由，并且去做其他事情。
现在观看《Drive》（驱动）时，最令人瞩目的一点是这部电影是多么安静，以及我们多么频繁地仅仅在观察 Ryan 和 Carey 互视。你在对话行之间留下了这些停顿。在《Her Private Hell》中，你将这一点推向了更极端的程度。你在这些空间中探索的是什么？
通过静止和沉默来挑逗灵魂。因此在《Drive》中，那是爱的纯粹。而且

为什么你认为年轻一代的音乐节参与者会继续发现 Warped Tour？
我们曾经是那样一个音乐节，你知道日落时分活动就结束了，你的妈妈可以在路边接你，或者你可以在天黑前回家，然后你再去参加其他音乐节。
我们曾是你们进入音乐节世界的入口。我们可能再次成为那个入口，但现在很大程度上取决于价格点。我们知道 Warped Tour 的经济模式对两类想去的人都有吸引力：一类是想来探索音乐节的人；另一类，也许是你们的一些同行，他们不再能每晚出去看乐队，因为他们都有了正式的工作之类的事情。但他们可以花一两天时间，补完所有的音乐，这让你感觉自己依然年轻。

而这正处于那个极其纯真的年纪，一切都只是彼此凝视，感受对方的存在，在没有关系复杂化的干扰下坠入爱河。这就是为什么电影需要那种语言。它几乎是无边无际的。
从那时起，这几乎变成了：我能否建立一个移动的装置？因为这就是一种体验。它是接触那些能够渗透你的灵魂、与你共存、激励你、触动你的开关、让你愤怒或快乐的元素。因此，在这个世界里，“好”或“坏”的概念已不再真正存在。

HONG KONG — China has a hot new product in the United States: artificial in- telligence. San Francisco-based Raffi Krikorian, the chief technology officer at Mozilla, which runs the Fire- fox browser, switched to Chi- nese AI startup Moonshot’s Kimi K3 for many of his day- to-day activities within days of the new, powerful model’s launch more than a week ago. “It just seems snappier,” he said of K3, comparing it with the acclaimed and more expensive Claude Fa- ble chatbot from San Fran- cisco company Anthropic. Earlier, he had been using another high-performing Chinese model, Z.ai’s GLM-5.2, for routine tasks such as managing his calen- dar, documents and email. Krikorian is one of a growing number of Ameri- cans adopting Chinese AI systems, which are gaining ground around the world be- cause they are more afford- able and increasingly effi- cient. U.S. companies such as cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase said they’re switching to Chinese AI models to help trim costs. Their popularity has frustrated some U.S. tech gi- ants, but short of an outright ban, they’re likely to contin- ue to appeal to independent software developers in the U.S. and elsewhere. American-led restric- tions block China from ac- cessing some of the world’s most advanced technologies including cutting-edge AI chips, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned more sanctions could be coming to protect

His media company Pa- ramount Skydance’s pitch early this year was that its proposed $111-billion acquisi- tion of rival Warner Bros. Discovery could easily clear regulatory hurdles — unlike Netflix’s competing bid. Ellison has heavyweights in his corner: His billionaire father, Larry Ellison, co- founder of software giant Oracle, is bankrolling the

A windowless warehouse in Northern California shelters pieces of the state’s forests. Icy air swirls and fogs around 42,000 pounds of seeds — the past and the future of these trees, frozen in cardboard boxes. It smells like the woods on a snowy day. “This is like the mothership of forestry in California right here,” said Stewart Mc- Morrow, staff chief for wildfire resilience at the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, standing outside the heavy metal door of the state seed bank at the agency’s Lewis A. Moran Reforesta- tion Center on the outskirts of Davis.

Private landowners especially rely on these seeds — some now more than half a century old — to reforest property de- stroyed by wildfire. At the pace California is burning, it’s nowhere near enough. Climate change and more than a cen- tury of overzealous fire suppression are now fueling wildfires so severe that they’re wiping out the very forests that need fire to thrive — leaving celebrated landscapes at risk of turning to brush and scrub, permanently. Over the last quarter of a century,

The Los Angeles water system is so old — and mon- ey for replacements is ex- ceedingly scarce — that offi- cials are left playing a dan- gerous game of triage. They know huge swaths of the system are in desper- ate need of replacement. But with limited time and mon- ey, the Los Angeles Depart- ment of Water and Power has no choice but to focus on the lines it believes are most likely to blow. Sometimes, it can get there before a massive leak. But as West Hollywood dis- covered this month, some- times the pipes rupture well before help can arrive. The Westside has experi- enced the highest number of leaks across the city’s water distribution system over the last 10 years, according to the utility. Experts say the age of pipes, the corrosive soil they’re buried in and pres- sure changes in pipes that send water to hillside neigh-

bias claims, few officers punished
By Libor Jany
Over the last decade, the LAPD has received thou- sands of complaints accus- ing officers of targeting peo- ple solely because of their race, ethnicity or other form of outward appearance. Only one has been fired for it. The former officer, Edgar Garcia Cancino, was part of a San Fernando Valley anti- gang unit whose members were alleged to have improp- erly pulled over and search- ed hundreds of motorists. Cancino has appealed his termination, arguing that other officers in his unit carried out more of the prob- lematic stops. He claimed the department sought to make an example of him be- cause he refused to implicate his superiors in wrongdoing. Accusations of racial pro- filing have long dogged the department, alienating gen- erations of Black and brown

borhoods all contribute to breaks across the aging sys- tem. This region was the loca- tion of the two biggest rup- tures of the last dozen years: a 17-million gallon leak in West Hollywood this month and a roughly 10-million gal- lon rupture that flooded Westwood and damaged parts of UCLA in 2014. Those areas both had pipes that were more than 100 years old. But the rest of the system isn’t much better. More than 30% of the DWP’s main lines are more than 80 years old and at least 6% of them are considered high priority for replace- ment. A 2018 assessment said that more than 50% of the DWP’s trunk line seg- ments were over 65 years old and 11% were more than 100 years old. The utility prioritizes re- placement projects based on a variety of factors includ- ing the age of the line, leak history and the conse- quences of failure in a par- ticular area. DWP engineers weigh those factors when prioritizing pipes for re- placement, assigning a let- ter grade to each water main based on its likelihood of fail- ure and the potential conse- quences of a break.

Angelenos. Known within the LAPD as “biased polic- ing,” such complaints have persisted despite repeated attempts to enact reform. But the question of how commonly profiling occurs in the Los Angeles Police De- partment remains a topic of pointed debate. Years of studies by re- searchers and reporting by The Times and other news outlets have found that Black and Latino people in L.A. are subjected to stops, frisks, searches and arrests at significantly higher rates than white people, regard- less of whether they live in high-crime neighborhoods. Past LAPD chiefs have acknowledged that isolated cases of profiling may occur. At the same time, they have denied that there is a wide- spread, systemic problem.

fire after deadly West Bank unrest
settlers follow clash in village that killed six, including two Israelis.
By Melanie Lidman
TEL AVIV — Two mosques in the Israeli-occu- pied West Bank were set on fire overnight in apparent Is- raeli settler attacks, officials said Sunday, after a spate of deadly violence that killed four Palestinians and two Is- raeli soldiers. The violence comes as Palestinians and the Israeli opposition accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netan- yahu’s hard-line govern- ment of turning a blind eye to attacks by settlers against Palestinians, which is threatening to ignite wide- spread violence across the territory. Israeli soldiers and police fanned out across the West Bank after the violence, clos- ing off major roads and blocking access to a hospital where it said two militants were hiding. Israel also ar- rested more than 70 Pal- estinians over the weekend as they attempted to contain the escalating unrest. The mosques, in the vil- lages of Qusra and Kour in the northern West Bank, suffered extensive damage in the fires. In Qusra, the at- tackers spray-painted “re- venge Benayahu,” referring to Benayahu Mellet, one of the Israeli soldiers killed Fri- day, and “the land of Israel is redeemed with blood.” The soldier lived in a nearby set- tlement. Ahmed Abu Mahmoud, 64, who lives next door to the Qusra mosque, said he heard noises at 3 a.m. and discovered the mosque had been set on fire. The fire was too large for him to fight on his own, so he called for help. Abu Mahmoud said live- stock and a drinking tank had been stolen in the last month but Israeli author- ities hadn’t helped. “The military arrived here, saw with their own eyes and then left,” he said Sunday. Security video in Kour obtained by the Associated Press showed three people in civilian clothes setting off a large explosion in the en- trance of the mosque in the middle of the night. On Sun- day, residents held prayers despite damage to the en- trance.

Israel’s military said it was working with police to investigate the mosque at- tack. “The security forces strongly condemn incidents of this kind, including harm to religious sites, and will continue to act decisively to maintain security and pub- lic order in the area,” it said. The Israeli army often announces investigations into violence against Pal- estinians but rarely makes arrests or prosecutes set- tlers involved in violence. The military also re- ported that in prepara- tion for demolition, it had sealed the homes of two Pal- estinian militants suspected of killing the soldiers. Israel often demolishes the homes of attackers, claiming it de- ters future attacks. On Sunday, Netanyahu said troops entered villages across the West Bank to seize weapons and make ar- rests. “We are also prepared to operate on a broader scale against the terrorist nests,” he said. Pope Leo XIV appealed for peace in the Middle East at the end of his weekly Sun- day prayer. He called on both sides to find a negotiat- ed solution and to “reject new military actions and unilateral decisions, in par- ticular those that violate the respect and status quo of the holy places of every religious faith.” The exact circumstances of Friday’s deadly incidents remained unclear, but Isra- eli media reports and inter- views with local Palestinian officials said they were sparked after a group of set- tlers entered the village of Tell and were confronted by residents who were fearful of an attack. According to the Israeli military, one of the Palestin- ians took one of the settlers’ weapons and fired on the group, killing Mellet, 32, a se- curity guard from a nearby settlement. The towns and villages surrounding Nablus sit in one of the most violent parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Palestinians and human rights groups have increasingly docu- mented armed Israeli set- tlers entering villages in the area. Livestock theft, arson and the defacement of mosques are routinely re- ported.

man believed to have driven van into crowd near a Pride festival.

BERLIN — The suspect in the deadly Berlin Pride at- tack that left one person dead and 29 injured was shot and killed by police during a confrontation Sunday in a suburb of the German capi- tal, authorities said. Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, was killed following a search that lasted nearly 24 hours after the attack in downtown Berlin. Berlin prosecutors said Ballout previously sought to join the militant group Is- lamic State. He was suspected of driv- ing a van into a crowd near Berlin’s Pride festival Sat- urday night before appar- ently stabbing others with a machete in what authorities believe was an Islamist ter- rorist attack. Interior Minister Alexan- der Dobrindt said the attack occurred a few hundred yards from a party near the Brandenburg Gate that was supposed to close out the city’s Pride festival. Ballout was tracked down around 6 p.m. Sunday at a garden in Spandau, a suburb of Berlin, the city’s police department wrote on X. It said he apparently ran toward officers with a sharp instrument, and police fired at least one shot. He died at the scene. Ballout was born in Ger- many, Dobrindt said. His mother was naturalized in 2002, three years before he was born. Ballout traveled to Leba- non in 2025 with the goal of going to Syria to join Is- lamic State, Berlin prose- cutors said Sunday. There, he made contact with several people who were presumed members of the militant group — or at
foreign court on war crimes charges
By Lisa Mascaro
WASHINGTON — Isra- el’s Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “fomenting hate” by calling the prime minister a war criminal who should be ar- rested over the war in Gaza if he visits the city for the United Nations General As- sembly. Netanyahu said he in- tends to be in New York in September to address the annual U.N. gathering of world leaders, despite the mayor’s suggestion that he is not welcome. Mamdani said last week that although New York City does not have legal authority to execute an arrest warrant issued by the world’s top war-crimes court, he encouraged the federal government to do so. “He’s supposed to be the mayor of all New Yorkers — Jews, Christians, Muslims, everyone,” Netanyahu said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo. “But he’s trying to turn one group against the other.” The prime minister has become an increasingly po- larizing figure over Israel’s war in Gaza, which was ig- nited by the Oct. 7, 2023, deadly attack in southern Is- rael by Hamas-led militants. Israel also joined the U.S. in starting the war against Iran on Feb. 28 before launching a ground invasion in southern Lebanon in response to fire from the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah. Netanyahu on Sunday dismissed the International Criminal Court’s war crimes charges against him as “bo-

least he believed them to be, prosecutors said. He was arrested in Leba- non last year and sentenced by a military court to three months’ imprisonment for offenses including incite- ment to religious and sectar- ian conflict. Ballout returned to Germany after completing his sentence, where he was arrested at the Berlin airport. In May, a juvenile court in Berlin convicted Ballout of preparing a serious act of vi- olence endangering the state, as well as publishing Islamic State propaganda on his Instagram account and other charges, prose- cutors said. The court handed down a suspended sentence of 1 year and 10 months in youth cus- tody, which Berlin prose- cutors had appealed. The court said it took Ballout’s months of pretrial detention in Germany and Lebanon into account. It also said it considered that Ballout had confessed to the crimes, appeared to dis- tance himself from the mili- tant group and no actual threat had ever materi- alized. He was released from de-

gus.” He pointed to sexual misconduct allegations against the ICC’s top prose- cutor, who was removed from that post Friday, and said the warrant was an at- tempt to divert attention. The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sun- day. Netanyahu said he was concerned that once-bipar- tisan political support for Israel in the U.S. is at risk, particularly as progressive Democrats aligned with Mamdani’s position splinter from many mainstream members of the party. He also warned against rising antisemitism in the U.S. and other Western countries, saying that when he talks to people in New York City, home to the sec- ond-largest Jewish popula-
tention pending the appeal. According to police, a white van drove into Berlin’s Tiergarten park around 10 p.m. Saturday and hit several people before crash- ing into a tree. The closing party at the Pride festival, known as Christopher Street Day, was ongoing at the time next to the Brandenburg Gate a short distance away. The party followed a parade with about 80 trucks that had made its way through downtown Berlin earlier in the day. The attack occurred a few hundred yards from the festival events on a track in the Tiergarten park. The van drove into a crowd that was probably a mix of festi- valgoers and others. Police said a woman was killed. On Sunday afternoon, hundreds of mourners gath- ered at a memorial at the landmark gate. They hugged one another and placed flowers, candles, rainbow flags and homemade signs, including a cardboard one that said: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Ashley Jump, a 26-year- old U.K. resident, had trav-
tion in the world, “Jews feel very uncomfortable.” “And I think it’s wrong. The whole thing is wrong,” he said. Throughout his mayoral election campaign last year, Mamdani said he would seek to order the city’s police to execute the ICC’s arrest warrant over Netanyahu’s role in the war in Gaza. Am- nesty International and other international organi- zations have concluded that Israel’s conduct in Gaza amounts to genocide. Mamdani acknowledged last week that his city did not have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu and called on federal authorities to step in. “I want to be equally clear, Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City, nor is any other war

eled to Berlin for Saturday’s Pride parade but had left the celebrations before the at- tack. They returned Sunday to leave flowers at the me- morial. “They’ll never erase us, we’ll never be gone,” Jump said. “As long as humanity has existed, we’ve existed. And as long as humanity ex- ists, we will exist. We will not be removed.” Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged the nation to re- main united in the after- math of the attack. “I would like to say this to Christopher Street Day par- ticipants here in Berlin but also across Germany: Don’t let yourselves, let us not let ourselves be intimidated,” Merz said. “These acts have only one purpose: They aim to divide our society. They want to take away from us the most important thing we have: namely, our openness and our freedom.”

criminal at large,” he said in a video message. He told New Yorkers that he understood their frustra- tion and that expressions of protest were something the city would “always respect.” The Hague-based court has accused Netanyahu, his former defense minister and the late leader of Hamas of crimes against humanity. The Palestinian territory’s Health Ministry says more than 73,000 people have been killed in Israel’s offensive — roughly half of them women and children. About 1,200 people, most of them civil- ians, were killed in the initial Hamas-led attack in Israel.

TEGUCIGALPA, Hon- duras — Seven months after his release from U.S. prison after President Trump granted a pardon for his co- caine-trafficking conviction, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández arrived Sunday in his country to face corruption charges.

winds complicate French fire battle
By Mark Carlson, Emma da Silva and John Leicester
LEGE-CAP FERRET, France — A raging wildfire in southwestern France forced the evacuation of 55,000 people overnight Sun- day, bringing the total forced out of their homes to 220,000 in one region alone, as flames crept ever closer to the wine region city of Bor- deaux. Neighboring Spain oversaw its own fire evacu- ations on the country’s east coast. Shifting and gusting winds, as well as arid condi- tions, complicated massive efforts to limit the spread of the monster blaze burning out of control since midweek in France’s Gironde region, where Bordeaux is located. Authorities issued over- night evacuation orders for five more localities south- west of the historic city. “The situation remains very unfavorable,” French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said after what he de- scribed as “another difficult night” for fire crews battling around the clock against the blaze that has burned an area four times the size of Paris. “The fire became ex- tremely virulent again and unpredictable, generating its own winds and advancing erratically toward the Bor- deaux metropolitan area,” Nunez posted on X. “It be- came calmer by the end of the night.” An estimated 162 square miles had burned in Gironde, the region’s prefec- ture said, much of it forests and scrubland made tinder- dry by successive heat waves. Firefighters raced in trucks to fight flare-ups, and planes dropping water and retardants rotated in the smoke-filled air. Farmers de- livered water in tanks to fire crews so they could fight the flames uninterrupted. The number of firefight- ers mobilized grew to 2,500, backed by 18 planes and heli- copters, including from other European nations. Soldiers have also been called in. The Gironde prefecture said 75 firefighters were treated for injuries. Hun- dreds of homes have been destroyed. In a first for France, the blaze alarmingly developed into a self-feeding firestorm on several occasions, most recently on Saturday night, generating lightning bolts with the potential to start new fires, authorities said. “It’s like being confronted by a hurricane,” said
according to U.S. prose- cutors. His extradition four years ago for his drug traf- ficking trial shortly after leaving office marked a rare chance at justice for Hon- durans, who feared his hold on the country’s justice sys- tem would never allow a con- viction on Honduran soil. But the former leader, sentenced to 45 years in pris- on in the United States, was released in December, to the shock of many in the U.S. and Honduras, after receiv- ing a presidential pardon from Trump. Trump was broadly criti- cized for issuing the pardon — shortly before the U.S. in- vasion of Venezuela to cap- ture President Nicolás Maduro to face drug traffick- ing charges in the United States, and at a time the U.S. military has carried out a se- ries of deadly attacks on boats it alleges were trans-

Gironde Fire Chief Marc Vermeulen. High temperatures fore- cast starting Tuesday could complicate the firefighting, Gironde prefect Sophie Bro- cas said. Evacuees won’t be al- lowed back to their towns and villages until the blaze is brought under control, she warned, and she urged vaca- tioners to not come to the re- gion. Bordeaux Mayor Thom- as Cazenave described the blaze as being “at the gates of the metropolitan area,” about nine miles away at its closest point. But Cazenave said an evacuation of Bordeaux is not in the cards for now. The city is home to 268,000 peo- ple. Bordeaux turned an ex- hibition center into an emer- gency shelter, providing cots and food for thousands of evacuees, including hun- dreds of older people evacu- ated from care homes. A second fire burning far- ther south in the Landes re- gion has forced the evacua- tion of 36,000 people, driving the total number of dis- placed people in southwest- ern France to more than 250,000. Fire crews have also been battling a blaze in the Var re- gion of southern France on the Mediterranean. Nearly 3,000 people have been evac- uated there. In Spain, wildfires burned out of control around Madrid. Evacu- ations were also carried out Sunday in the Valencia re- gion. A man was killed Sat- urday in a wildfire in Man- ises, a Valencia suburb. “We still have some diffi- cult hours ahead,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Sunday, but the night was “very positive in terms of bringing the flames under control.” A total of 76,000 people have been evacuated in Spain while 30,000 others have been confined to their homes, the government said. “It looked like the apoca- lypse,” said Rocío Domín- guez, who evacuated with her dog, Simba, from Chap- inería, west of Madrid. “You couldn’t see anything. Everything was covered in ash.”

porting drugs. He defended the pardon by asserting that Hernández did not receive a fair trial and that it was a set- up orchestrated by the Bid- en administration. Hernández returns to Honduras to face corruption charges amid concerns that a weak justice system and his party’s return to the presidency will ensure his impunity. “There is a social major- ity that is outraged but doesn’t speak out because of fear,” said Joaquín Mejía, lawyer and researcher for the human rights organiza- tion Reflection, Research and Communication Team. “We’re talking about the boss of all drug bosses.” Some in the country wel- comed his return. Hernán- dez was greeted at the air- port by his mother, wife, kids and granddaughter as well as dozens of supporters of his National Party.
as Ebola cases in Congo near 3,000
By Prosper Heri Ngorora and Constant Same Bagalwa
BUNIA, Congo — Health workers at an Ebola treat- ment center in eastern Congo went on strike, de- manding their pay. The walkout disrupted care for patients in the epicenter of the country’s rapidly grow- ing outbreak. The number of confirmed cases of Ebola in Congo has reached 2,973, including 1,309 deaths, according to government data released Friday in what authorities say is the fastest-growing outbreak on record. The Elikya Ebola Treat- ment Center in Bunia, in Ituri province, came to a standstill after doctors, nurses and security staff stopped work. About 100 health workers protested outside the treat- ment center Saturday. They said the unpaid bonuses were undermining morale and disrupting patient care, and called on Congolese au- thorities to resolve the back pay so they could resume their work. “We need to be paid, be- cause in the meantime the disease is spreading at the treatment center,” said Mar- tin Bolombi, one of the strik- ing health workers. “I’ve already had five peo- ple die who are still inside there. A solution must be found for us,” he added. In a statement issued Fri- day, staffers said they had unanimously voted to strike until “concrete solutions” were found to resolve “two months of unpaid perform- ance bonuses.” The strike came a day af- ter Congolese Prime Min- ister Judith Suminwa came to Ituri, touring major treat-

CAIRO — The United States paused its attacks on Iran for a second straight day Sunday and Tehran said it had done so too, as efforts continued to bring the coun- tries back to negotiations on an interim ceasefire deal largely undermined by re- cent exchanges of fire. It was unclear why the U.S. has paused after target- ing Iranian coastal areas and infrastructure in an es- calation sparked by Iran’s firing at ships trying to tran- sit the Strait of Hormuz and its later attack on a base in Jordan that killed three U.S. service members. The Pen- tagon did not respond to questions Sunday. President Trump is “giv- ing talks some space. He’s giving it a little bit of room,” Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambas- sador to the United Nations, said Sunday on Fox News. “We’ve had both Oman and Iran, and a number of our other negotiators, engaged at every level, from the most
“The moment has ar- rived. After four years, I can finally tell you that we will see each other again,” Hernández said in a video posted on social media be- fore his arrival. Hernández, 57, faces charges related to a case known as Pandora I, which alleges that a network of for- mer high-ranking officials from 2010 to 2013 participa- ted in the expansion and ap- proval of public funds dis- bursements totaling more than $10.8 million to various foundations, according to an investigation by the coun- try’s Specialized Prose- cutor’s Unit Against Corrup- tion Networks, or UFERCO. According to UFERCO, Hernández benefited from these disbursements, re- ceiving at least $2.3 million for his political campaign through various schemes, including the creation of shell companies, the use of

ment hubs, in Rwampara and Mongbwalu, to assess the outbreak response. Dur- ing her visit in Mongbwalu, she faced urgent demands from healthcare personnel protesting payment issues. Dr. Adelard Lufungula, operations manager for the Ebola response, said Sat- urday that the payment is- sue is “being resolved,” with workers now paid via mobile banking instead of cash, and that the backlog “should be cleared” in the coming days. Health workers at Bunia General Hospital, the re- gion’s largest medical cen- ter, had already gone on strike earlier this month over unpaid salaries. Some told the Associated Press they had not received any payment since they started work at the onset of the out- break. The World Health Or- ganization says more than 100 healthcare workers have been infected since the be-
senior levels all the way down to the technical level over the past few weeks, and particularly in the past few days.” Waltz dismissed the idea that the U.S. stockpile of in- terceptors crucial in defend- ing against Iranian attacks is running low, but experts have questioned how long both the U.S. and Iran can afford to keep up attacks. Since the U.S. has halted attacks for the last two nights, Iran has as well, the Islamic Republic’s army spokesperson told state TV on Sunday.

Diplomat calls lull a ‘positive signal’ The 60-day period that began when both countries signed the interim deal in mid-June is now well into its second half, and major is- sues that were meant to be negotiated — notably Iran’s nuclear program — remain set aside as mediators try to keep both sides talking. A regional official in- volved in mediation efforts said diplomacy was under- way and a pause in U.S. and Iranian strikes was a “pos-

Hernández has said that he is innocent and that the case “lacks any legal basis.” In June, a judge sus- pended his arrest warrant and the international red notice issued to Interpol at the request of Hernández’s lawyer, although the case is still pending.

ginning of the crisis. The Central African na- tion has been battling the Ebola outbreak caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus since May 15. A total of 766 patients remain in isolation or in hospitals, while 540 have recovered so far, ac- cording to data from Con- go’s Health Ministry. The eastern province of Ituri accounts for nearly 90% of confirmed cases. The outbreak continues to spread faster than health officials can track despite an expanding response. A key challenge is that patient zero has yet to be identified in the outbreak, and dis- placement from armed con- flict and illegal mining in the region have made it difficult to trace thousands who have come in contact with in- fected individuals. The response is also hampered by a funding gap, attacks on health centers, an ongoing conflict in eastern

Shipping traffic remains slowed
Concerns continued about shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and now on an- other crucial waterway in the region, the Bab al Mandab strait to the Red Sea. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen last week threatened a blockade of Saudi shipping there. Global energy supplies and the economy remain in the balance as gasoline prices have risen again. Commercial shipping traffic on the Strait of Hor- muz was at a three-week low, a maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Sunday, adding that no new attacks had been confirmed in the last 72 hours. It said traffic remained steady through the Bab al Mandab. Iran on Sunday said it
For Luis Javier Santos, the former head of UFERCO who investigated the case against Hernández, the for- mer leader’s return repre- sents a failure to prosecute him for his crimes rather than a chance for justice. Santos was removed from his role in UFERCO in February in what he believes demonstrated attempts to stifle anti-corruption inves- tigations by the new govern- ment of Nasry Asfura, of Hernández’s National Party, which took office in January after gaining Trump’s back- ing during elections. “We have gone backward to an even worse point than when all the work to fight corruption began,” Santos said.

There is also a lack of ap- proved vaccines or treat- ments for the Bundibugyo virus, unlike the more com- mon Zaire virus, for which there is a vaccine and which was responsible for most of Congo’s last 16 outbreaks of the disease. Enrollment in a highly anticipated study of two possible Ebola treatments recently began in Ituri. The WHO says the global risk of the outbreak reaching beyond Central Africa is low, noting that Ebola spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an in- fected person rather than through the air, making it much harder to transmit than respiratory viruses.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has acknowledged in court documents that it canceled $7.6 billion in grants for hun- dreds of clean energy proj- ects “based solely on the po- litical identity of the grant recipient’s state,” including California and 15 other states that voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presi- dential election. The statement, included in a court filing last week in a lawsuit over the canceled funding, contradicts re- peated assertions by Energy Secretary Chris Wright and other officials that the proj- ects were canceled because they did not adequately ad- vance the nation’s energy needs or had other problems that made them a poor in- vestment of taxpayer dol- lars. The Department of Ener- gy said in the filing Wednes- day that “DOE accepts that the inclusion of grants ... was based solely on the political identity of the grant recipi- ent’s state, i.e., whether the recipient’s location and/or place of performance was in a Blue State or a non-Blue State. DOE will not contend that it looked beyond the prime grantee(s) to con- sider the political identity or geographic distribution of
the reasoning behind the major rulings during his era.

WASHINGTON — Jus- tice Anthony M. Kennedy, the Supreme Court’s most influential member before his retirement, has watched quietly for eight years as a new conservative majority took charge. He was troubled by parti- san gerrymandering, but a year after he stepped down, a 5-4 ruling closed the fed- eral courts to challenges to state voting maps that allow one party to rig the elections in its favor. Though he believed abor- tion was a moral wrong, he cast the crucial vote in 1992 to uphold Roe vs. Wade and the principle that a woman, not the government, had the right to decide on ending an early pregnancy. Four years ago, that deci- sion was overturned on a 5-4 vote. While Kennedy has re- frained from commenting on the current court or Pres- ident Trump, he has written a memoir that tells his life story and explains the rea- soning behind the major de- cisions of his era. It has become common for the justices to write books, but they steer clear of writing about the work of the court. Kennedy’s book, “Life, Law & Liberty,” is, like the justice, the exception to that rule. An Irish Catholic from Sacramento and a Reagan Republican, Kennedy had a generally conservative vot- ing record over 30 years on the high court. But he had a distinct view of liberty and justice. “The nature of injus- tice is that we may not al- ways see it in our own times,” he wrote in 2015. Kennedy rejected the “rigid” view that the Consti- tution’s promises of liberty and equal protection of the law, as well as the protection against cruel and unusual punishment, were limited to their “original” meaning in the Bill of Rights of 1791 or the 14th Amendment of 1868. After all, slavery and seg- regation were legal for much of U.S. history, and women were not protected from dis- crimination by the promise of “equal protection” in the 14th Amendment. Kennedy remained open to new rights and liberties. The goal, he wrote, was “a decent society in which the Constitution and the rule of law treat all with dignity and equality.” He was the justice who
downstream beneficiaries of the grant funds.” The agency also said that it “accepts that the differen- tial treatment resulting in the October 2025 termina- tion of Blue State grants and the non-termination of non- Blue State grants was not based on a rational connec- tion between the recipient’s location and/or place of performance and DOE’s past or current agency pri- orities.” Democrats and environ- mental groups seized on the court filing, saying the ad- ministration had “weap- onized” the federal govern- ment to kill good jobs and punish working families because of their political views.
Alleging a‘corrupt abuse of power’ “This administration has now admitted in court what has long been obvious: it ter- minated nearly 300 cost-cut- ting energy projects for no reason other than the fact that the states they were in did not vote for the presi- dent in the 2024 election,” Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio and Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state said in a statement. Both are high- ranking Democrats on the House and Senate appro- priations committees, re- spectively. “Weaponizing the federal government like this is out- right un-American, and it’s hardworking families al- ready struggling with sky- high costs who are suffering the consequences of this

made the difference in sev- eral areas of law, none more significant than in LGBTQ+ rights. He wrote the court’s four major rulings rejecting dis- crimination based on sexual orientation. In 2015, he spoke for the 5-4 majority to up- hold same-sex marriages nationwide. “No union is more pro- found than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family,” he wrote. “Many same-sex cou- ples provide loving and nur- turing homes to their chil- dren, whether biological or adopted. And hundreds of thousands of children are presently being raised by such couples.” They “ask for equal dig- nity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right,” he con- cluded in Obergefell vs. Hodges. He also believed that teenagers who commit crimes are not as culpable as adults. He wrote a court opinion in 2005 ending ex- ecutions for murderers who were under age 18 at the time of their crime. Five years later, he wrote the court’s opinion holding it was cruel and unusual puni- shment for judges to impose a sentence of life in prison with no chance for parole for a teenager’s crime that did not involve homicide. In the case before the court, a Flor- ida teen was given a life term for committing an armed robbery and a home burgla- ry before his 18th birthday. Kennedy marked his 90th birthday Thursday and says his favorite topic of conver- sation is not the nine justices but his nine grandchildren. He goes to the court some days and says he is worried by the tone in Washington and around the country. “It is too partisan and

corrupt abuse of power,” Kaptur and Murray said. They called on congres- sional Republicans to join them in holding the Trump administration “account- able for the President’s fail- ure to look out for all Ameri- cans.” The Energy Department announced in October that 321 funding awards across 223 projects were termi- nated, saying that after re- view, they “did not ad- equately advance the na- tion’s energy needs or were not economically viable.” The cuts, part of broader attacks from President Trump on climate programs and clean energy funding, slashed federal support for projects to build battery plants, develop hydrogen
confrontational,” he said in a recent interview with The Times. “I’m concerned that the divisiveness may be re- flected at the court.” Democracy requires “reasoned and respectful de- bate,” he said, not personal attacks and name-calling. Kennedy may be the last justice of his kind, said Washington University law professor Daniel Epps, a for- mer Kennedy clerk. “I don’t think we’ll see an- other justice who is so ideo- logically unpredictable and who votes against his party of appointment in some of the hugest cases in our life- times,” he said. Kennedy emerged from “an appoint- ments process that was less polarized, where there were conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans and a Senate filibuster, which all made it possible for moder- ates to be appointed.” While Kennedy describes himself at times as a small- town lawyer from Sacra- mento, he knew the two Cali- fornia governors, both Re- publicans, who reshaped the Supreme Court. Kennedy’s father was a friend of Gov. Earl Warren, and young Tony played with Warren’s children. He also worked as a young page in the state Capitol when War- ren was governor. He was a high school sen- ior in 1954 when Warren, the new chief justice, spoke for a unanimous court to strike down racial segregation in the case of Brown vs. Board of Education. He and his father agreed the ruling was long overdue. It also provided an early les- son in how justices can up- hold the fundamental prin- ciples of the Constitution de- spite intense opposition in much of the nation. He said he later learned a second lesson. The Brown decision was “a historic step

forward” but “just a begin- ning” in the fight against en- trenched racial injustice. In writing the same-sex marriage case, Kennedy cited Warren’s opinion in the 1967 case of Loving vs. Vir- ginia, which struck down the bans on interracial mar- riages in 16 states. As a young lawyer, Ken- nedy worked on special proj- ects for Gov. Ronald Reagan and admired him greatly. He was just 38 years old when, at Reagan’s behest, he was ap- pointed to the U.S. 9th Cir- cuit Court of Appeals. As president a decade later, Reagan had appointed Justices Sandra Day O’Con- nor and Antonin Scalia to the Supreme Court and ele- vated William Rehnquist to be the chief justice. But his third nominee — Judge Robert Bork — was voted down as too conservative by the Senate. Reagan invited Kennedy to the White House and of- fered him the nomination. Kennedy recalled telling Reagan that he and his wife, Mary, were happy in Sacra- mento where all their friends and family lived. We don’t know anyone in Washington, he said. In his best imitation of Reagan’s voice, he re- counted the president’s re- sponse: “You know me. And you know Nancy.” Kennedy accepted the nomination and was con- firmed in February 1988 by a 97-0 vote, the last justice to win unanimous approval from the Senate. His three decades on the court were shaped in part by his relationship with Scalia. Kennedy and his wife bought a house in the same northern Virginia neighbor- hood where Scalia lived. In their early years on the court, they appeared to be friends and allies. They broadly supported

Oregon, Vermont and Wash- ington. All 16 targeted states supported Harris, but Wright said the cuts were “business decisions” based on whether the projects were a good use of taxpayer money or not. The cuts were immedi- ately challenged in court, and more than two dozen Democratic members of Congress, led by California Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla and Rep. Zoe Lof- gren, wrote a letter to the Energy Department’s acting inspector general request- ing a formal investigation. The department’s internal watchdog launched an in- vestigation in December. Government lawyers had previously confirmed in a court filing late last year that
freedom of speech. To the surprise of many, they cast the deciding votes in 1989 to rule the 1st Amendment protects the right to burn an American flag in protest. Ayear later, Kennedy and Scalia dissented vehemently when the court ruled the Michigan Chamber of Com- merce and its corporate sup- porters could be barred from advertising their support for state candidates. The decision triggered a decades-long dispute that ended with the Citizens United ruling in 2010. Ken- nedy spoke for a 5-4 conser- vative majority to rule cor- porations, unions and other groups were free to spend money independently to op- pose or support candidates. But when the court was closely split in major cases, Kennedy was likely to be in majority while Scalia wrote scathing and increasingly personal dissents. “I would hide my head in a bag,” Scalia wrote in dis- sent in the same-sex mar- riage case, rather than join an opinion “couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic.” Kennedy was put off by a different jab. Scalia said the justices do not represent the full country. For example, the court lacks a “genuine Westerner (California does not count),” he wrote. Since Scalia’s death, his influence has grown espe- cially with the younger gen- eration of conservatives. Two of Trump’s appoint- ees — Justices Neil M. Gor- such and Brett M. Ka- vanaugh — were clerks for Kennedy in 1993, but they are far more likely to cite Scalia and his views on interpret- ing laws or the Constitution. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Trump’s third appointee, was a clerk for Scalia. While Kennedy did not respond to Scalia’s harsh dissents, they hung over their last year together on the court. One day in Febru- ary of 2016, Scalia stopped by Kennedy’s office to talk. “Nino said he had come to regret deeply the tone of his Obergefell dissent and its personal references. He apologized for being intem- perate,” Kennedy wrote. “Neither of us is big on hug- ging, but we hugged, both of us smiling.” They agreed to get to- gether for dinner with their wives when he returned from a hunting trip to Texas. A week later, Scalia’s wife, Maureen, called to tell them of his death. “Nino and I spent 28 years on the court together,” Kennedy wrote. “We some- times agreed and some- times disagreed, but I re- spected him and miss him very much.”
the selection of grants in fact “was influenced by whether a grantee’s address was lo- cated in a State that tends to elect ... Democratic candi- dates in state and national elections (so-called ‘Blue States’).” That filing came in a separate suit filed by clean- energy groups and the city of St. Paul, Minn., over the can- celed funding. The most re- cent admission came in a case called Thakur vs. Trump that’s been ongoing since spring 2025. Federal lawyers acknowledged that they used keywords related to diversity, gender and COVID-19 to screen for proj- ects that ran afoul of the Trump administration’s pri- orities. Holly Bender, chief pro- gram officer for the Sierra Club, said the latest court fil- ing shows “the Trump ad- ministration is brazenly ad- mitting to a vindictive ap- proach to cancelling much- needed energy infrastruc- ture that ignores the job losses, air pollution and in- creasing bills that people are experiencing everywhere.” Instead of “building the energy projects we desper- ately need,” billions of American taxpayer dollars are “going to line the pockets of a small handful of fossil fuel company CEOs,” Bend- er said, citing nearly $3 bil- lion pledged by the Trump administration to cancel off- shore wind projects in favor of fossil fuel projects such as natural gas and coal.

against Trump’s voter list upheld
By Russ Bynum
A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that halted President Trump’s executive order in nearly half of the states to create a fed- eral list of eligible voters and limit delivery of mail ballots only to people on that list. The ruling Saturday by judges of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s effort to move forward with the mail-in voting restric- tions in 23 U.S. states that sued ahead of November’s midterm elections. Trump issued an execu- tive order in March for the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the commissioner of the Social Security Administra- tion to create a “state citi- zenship list” of eligible vot- ers. It also ordered the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail ballots only to people on that list. Trump has claimed the proposed changes are nec- essary safeguards to keep non-U.S. citizens from vot- ing, but state election offi- cials argued they were ripe for abuse and could cause chaos. Democratic officials in 23 states and the District of Co- lumbia challenged Trump’s order in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Boston. They argued that Trump’s order was unconstitutional because the states and Con- gress, not the president, have the authority to set election rules. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani agreed and halted Trump’s order from being implemented for the Nov. 3 elections, but only in the states that have sued. Trump’s executive order is part of his ongoing cam- paign to restrict voting ac- cess and raise doubts about the integrity of the election system before the November midterms. The White House and the Justice Department did not immediately return an email seeking comment Sunday about the court rul- ing.
pattern of intentional policy violations,” according to a summary of the case file re- viewed by The Times. Police investigators said in the case file that they identified hundreds of stops that were not properly docu- mented, along with failures by the officers to activate their body and dashboard cameras. The allegations against Cancino largely hinged on two stops, according to his attorney. In May 2023, Can- cino and his partner pulled over a man for allegedly speeding and having tinted windows, said his attorney, Nicole Castronovo. The ve- hicle’s registration was ex- pired, Castronovo said, but the driver was allowed to leave without a citation after the officers searched his ve- hicle and found nothing in- criminating. When interviewed about the incident later, according to Castronovo, the motorist told police investigators that Cancino had stopped him because “I looked like a G,” or gangster. A few months later, the attorney said, Cancino was involved in another ques- tionable stop, this time of a pedestrian who also later lodged a complaint alleging he was profiled. Castronovo denied that Cancino had unfairly tar- geted anyone while on the job, saying he is a proud Lat- ino who joined the force out of a desire to give back to the city where he grew up. She argued that the department’s investigators cherry-picked cases involv- ing Cancino while ignoring similar behavior by other Mission cops. “They have set up a sys- tem where it’s virtually im- possible to sustain a biased policing complaint against an officer,” she said. “And then they turn around and weaponized” it against Can- cino. The inquiry findings were presented to LAPD leader- ship, who recommended that Cancino be fired and sent to a disciplinary hear- ing. Castronovo argued in an appeal that her client and another fired Mission offi- cer, Kim Lobos, had been de-

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing to eliminate a foundational safety principle that has for 50 years minimized the radi- ation people in the United States are exposed to and that has been adopted around the world. Currently, facilities such as nuclear plants, hospitals or academic institutions that use radioactive materi- als must ensure radiation exposures are kept “as low as reasonably achievable” — the ALARA principle. The NRC proposal would aban- don that philosophy while keeping a separate standard on maximum radiation ex- posure. The two standards have worked together in radiation safety. Dose limits set the maximum amount of radi- ation the public and radi- ation workers can be ex- posed to, while ALARA kept radiation exposure as low as practical under those limits. Research shows radiation exposure increases a per- son’s chance of getting can- cer, a risk that increases as the dose goes up. The dose limits are not changing. But the NRC, which regulates civilian nu- clear energy technologies and radioactive materials, now wants to replace ALARA with a “graded ap- proach” that includes sev- eral actions facilities must take depending on the po- tential dose of radiation to workers. More rigorous radi- ation protection measures would be required when ap- proaching dose limits to en- sure they aren’t exceeded. This comes as President Trump attempts to quadru- ple domestic nuclear energy production because of surg- ing electricity demand amid a data center and artificial intelligence boom. Reform- ing the NRC is one way Trump is trying to speed up nuclear reactor devel- opment. He instructed the federal agency in an execu- tive order last year to “adopt science-based radiation limits.”
CITY OFFICIALS have voted in favor of limiting the LAPD’s use of “pretextual stops,” urging the Police Commission to review the issue.
nied a fair disciplinary hear- ing because both were ini- tially represented by a law- yer appointed by the police union who had a conflict of interest. According to Castronovo, the union attor- ney also represented other Mission officers who agreed to testify against Cancino and Lobos. A Los Angeles County judge rejected their appeal. Only one other LAPD of- ficer prior to Cancino was fired for alleged racial profil- ing, a case that occurred in 2011. According to the Califor- nia Department of Justice, 4,878 allegations of bias were brought against LAPD offi- cers from 2016 to 2025. Of those, only three were sus- tained. The department’s rates mirror those of most other law enforcement agencies across the state. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which received
COOLING towers in Waynesboro, Ga. The Trump administration has sought to expand U.S. nuclear power.
The Energy Department, which oversees national en- ergy policies, has already stopped using ALARA. The NRC expects to finalize its radiation protection regula- tions in the coming months. NRC Chairman Ho Nieh said the commission is not lowering the bar on safety. “We’re just removing the ambiguity,” he said in a call with reporters. “But the standard for exposure to workers and the public, those are not changing. We’re just putting in place greater clarification.” Nieh doesn’t expect ma- jor changes within the na- tion’s existing fleet of large, traditional reactors. But companies designing and building new, smaller reac- tors could move faster with a clearer picture of the radi- ation protection require- ments, he said.
roughly 10% fewer com- plaints over that span, has sustained six racial bias alle- gations against deputies. Defenders of the Police Department note that any member of the public is al- lowed to submit a complaint whether or not there is sup- porting evidence, which leads to a high number of al- legations that cannot be proved. Others note that the presence of body-worn cam- eras has helped disprove frivolous claims filed by criminal suspects or others who have an ax to grind with the department. A report released last year by the advocacy group Catalyst California found that in 2025, Black motorists accounted for nearly a third of all stops for minor traffic violations, even though they make up roughly 8% of the city’s population. The same report found that Latinos, who are about 47% of L.A.’s population,
below levels associated with health effects, and it expects remaining standards and in- dustry practices to keep ra- diation doses far below the limits. There’s incentive to do so — it’s more expensive and time-consuming to work in areas with higher ra- diation because access must be restricted and more sur- veys are required. The nuclear industry’s trade association agrees with the NRC. “We will always continue to look at what can we do to reduce the dose to workers, and maintain our doses to the off-site public as low as possible,” said Doug True, chief nuclear officer at the Nuclear Energy Institute. “It’s not like we’re just going to throw open the doors and let everything run up to the limits.” ALARA created a “mov- ing target” for regulation, said Justin Friedman, a nu- clear energy consultant who previously spent three dec-
were pulled over in 58% of all traffic stops. Latino people are up to four times more likely to be subjected to “consent” searches, and Black people up to three times as likely, according to the Catalyst study. Fewer than 1 in 10 of those stops resulted in seiz- ures of guns or drugs, the re- port said. LAPD officials have pushed back on the findings, saying there is no estab- lished methodology for ana- lyzing racial profiling data. Many factors affect the racial and ethnic patterns of traffic stops — such as the predominant race of the neighborhood in which the stop was made, or whether the stop resulted in an arrest and conviction — all of which must be considered when interpreting raw data, offi- cials say. In May, the Los Angeles City Council voted in favor of limiting the use of “pretex-
ades at the U.S. State De- partment. Getting rid of the rule would allow NRC scien- tists to make more rational decisions about appropriate levels of manageable risk, he added.
Improving ALARA Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scien- tists, cautions that some parts of the NRC proposal could raise permissible radi- ation doses in certain cases, while still staying below the cap. Lyman highlighted a proposed revision to radio- nuclide emissions stand- ards, in particular. Radiation exposure to the general public is limited to 100 millirem per year. A typical dose of radiation from a chest X-ray is 10 mil- lirem. The NRC wants to in- crease its radionuclide emis- sions standards from a con- servative, 10 millirem per year dose to 25 millirem per
tual” stops, in which police use a broken taillight or an- other minor equipment vio- lation as justification to pull someone over in order to in- vestigate whether a more se- rious crime has occurred. Activists and some council members said they wanted to ban a controversial tactic that enabled racial discrimi- nation. The measure urges the Police Commission, which is responsible for LAPD policy changes, to take up the issue this year. The LAPD’s unwilling- ness to acknowledge officer biases and hand down puni- shment when warranted serves only to drive a wedge between the community and the department, said Peter Bibring, a civil rights and po- lice practices attorney. “The department, year after year after year, is say- ing, ‘Nope this never hap- pens, this never happens,’ ” Bibring said. “Then the com- munity doesn’t feel like the

year, based on a hypotheti- cal person living in a house at the property line for a nu- clear plant. The NRC says actual doses to the public would re- main far lower because, in reality, people live farther from nuclear sites and bene- fit from dispersion in air and water. The NRC should im- prove, rather than eliminate, ALARA, Lyman said, to protect the public and work- ers. ALARA has become a political target because some people mistakenly be- lieve radiation exposures have to be as low as possible no matter the cost, Lyman said. In reality, it allows trade-offs.

department is recognizing these legitimate problems and responding to their con- cerns.” During a deposition for a racial profiling lawsuit filed over a 2019 traffic stop, an LAPD official was asked what evidence it would take to get someone fired. The attorney for the plaintiff, a Black man who sued claiming he was pulled over by three gang officers who handcuffed him and al- legedly searched his vehicle without probable cause, asked: “If you found out that a given officer had pulled over 2,000 people in the last year, and all 2,000 of them were Black, would you have enough information, sitting here today, to determine whether or not that data alone indicated that the offi- cer was engaged in biased policing?” The LAPD official’s re- sponse, according to the deposition transcript: “No.”
professor and department chair at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. However, Huff said, she thought the NRC was going to clarify what “reasonably” means in ALARA without scrapping it. She said she’s open to being convinced the graded approach will be just as effective.
A mixed bag The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, char- tered by Congress to provide independent scientific guid- ance, has not formally weighed in yet. Council Pres- ident Kathryn Higley said she likes some things in the 180-page document but thinks others are problem- atic. The NRC should look at the whole picture for manag- ing risk, she said. For in- stance, if a worker at a nucle- ar power plant were to enter an area where airborne ra- dioactive materials are pre- sent, in keeping with ALARA, they might wear full personal protective equipment with respirators, said Higley, professor emeri- tus at Oregon State Uni- versity. That makes them move slower, potentially subjecting them to heat stress that could hurt them more than a low dose of ra- dioactivity, she said. A concern with the pro- posal, Higley said, is that it maintains the current occu- pational dose limit for adult radiation workers at 5 rem, or 5,000 millirem, per year. With ALARA in place, the average dose to workers has been well below that cap. The International Com- mission on Radiological Protection recommends an occupational dose of 2 rem per year on average. The NRC previously found it wasn’t justified to match that, because workers were exposed to less than that and changing regulations is costly. Higley said the U.S. may need to align with the international community if ALARA is going away.
high-severity wildfires have burned 2.3 million acres of California’s forestland so completely that the trees are unlikely to return on their own, according to a working draft of the state’s new refor- estation strategy obtained by CalMatters. California is counting on forests to store carbon, pro- tect water supplies, clean the air and shelter wildlife. By 2071, one recent analysis reports, half of California’s forest area could be gone. “Reforestation,” said Malcolm North, a scientist with the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest research station, “is pretty damn im- portant.” Yet to replant even a quarter of the privately owned forestlands in the state, California would need to increase seed bank capac- ity by roughly 300%, accord- ing to Cal Fire — which means more seeds, more people, more space. And that wouldn’t solve the prob- lem on federal land, which accounts for more than half the forests in the state and most of the lands that need replanting. CalMatters reviewed a working draft of California’s reforestation strategy. The USDA California Climate Hub is developing it with state and federal agencies, the conservation nonprofit American Forests and the Governor’s Wildfire and For- est Resilience Task Force. But both Sacramento and Washington have spent decades letting the money and staff needed to grow back California’s forests wither. “We need to focus on re- forestation as an emergency, as a state,” McMorrow said. “We are slowly losing our for- estland, and we’re not catch- ing up.”
Bleeding the federal workforce Timber harvests once paid for much of the U.S. Forest Service’s efforts to re- plant trees. But as new laws tight- ened endangered species and other public lands protections, logging in na- tional forests declined. Se- vere wildfires also increased. The combination de- voured the Forest Service’s resources, and people: From 1998 to 2015, non-fire staff tasked with managing Na- tional Forest System lands decreased by 39%, according to a 2015 report. With ever-increasing de- mands, a 2022 Forest Serv- ice document warned, there is a “critical need” to in- crease the number of staff “substantially dedicated” to reforestation.

About 6% of the water main system earned grades of D or F, according to The Times’ analysis in 2015. Trunk lines appear to be in better condition than the utility’s main lines. Data provided by the agency showed that less than 1% of its trunk lines have D or F ratings, according to a sur- vey conducted by the DWP in 2022. Los Angeles is one of many cities across the na- tion fighting an epic battle to solve a multibillion-dollar problem buried under- ground. Like many other large cit- ies, much of Los Angeles’ vast network of water mains and trunk lines were in- stalled at the turn of the 20th century and are at risk of breaking, disrupting service and potentially inundating communities with water. “It’s a very difficult prob- lem, and society as a whole is not investing enough money in infrastructure ... espe- cially water infrastructure,” said Lucio Soibelman, a pro- fessor of civil and environ- mental engineering at USC. Los Angeles’ water sys- tem experiences leaks daily, which rarely garner much at- tention, but several more significant breaks in the last decade have renewed con- cerns. A ruptured trunk line in 2014 on Sunset Boulevard in Westwood sent millions of gallons of water onto the UCLA campus, flooding sev- eral buildings and causing several million dollars in damage. On July 16, a 110-year-old riveted steel trunk line pipe — part of the system of ma-

administration unstop- pered additional moneyfor a reforestation trust fund in 2021, a move championed by the conservation nonprofit American Forests. Just a few years later, the Forest Serv- ice reported that it had re- planted roughly 285,000 acres nationwide — the highest yearly total in more than a quarter of a century. But the need still dwarfs action, and federally di- rected work is lengthy and intense. Crews must clear dead and dying trees quickly to reduce the danger to peo- ple and the chance of re- burns, a Forest Service spokesperson said.

The break left a gi- ant sinkhole on Sunset Boulevard and sent about 17 million gallons of water into surrounding neighbor- hoods, shuttering busi- nesses, and flooding homes and underground parking. The DWP has an $8-bil- lion, five-year Water System Capital Plan to address the aging pipe issue. Still, it’s not likely that the utility is going to be able to get ahead of the upgrades that are needed, experts say. DWP officials concede they’re hampered by budget restraints, personnel limita- tions, long project timelines and the sizable footprint of the repairs needed. “Even with unlimited funding and human re- sources, we can only do so much work so as not to se- verely overburden our local communities with impacts to traffic and interruptions to local residents and busi- nesses,” a utility spokes- person told The Times. The DWP plans to re- place about 45 miles of main line, which deliver water to individual services across neighborhoods, this fiscal year. Thirty-three percent of those lines are rated as a high priority for replace- ment based on factors in- cluding age, leak history, pipe material and geological conditions. An additional 54% are rated high-moder- ate priority and 13% are con- sidered moderate priority, according to the utility. The agency anticipates replacing just over a mile of
eroded over time, and it will take time to rebuild it, said Solomon Dobrowski, a pro- fessor of landscape ecology at the University of Mon- tana. Dobrowski’s research found that the reforestation gap spans millions of acres across the West and is likely to double or triple in the coming decades. “You don’t turn that ship around on a dime,” Do- browski said. Meanwhile, the Trump administration cut the For- est Service significantly. The agency lost 20% of its staff last year. “It just makes me cry at night. ...

trunk line across the city this fiscal year. But within the next four years, the DWP says it plans to accelerate re- placement of high-risk trunk lines to 5 miles annu- ally. The utility hasn’t speci- fied how it plans to fund such a ramp-up of projects. There are about 547 miles of trunk line underground across the city and 6,780 miles of distribution pipes, or main lines, in Los Angeles. There are more than 40 trunk line projects in the agency’s capital improve- ment plan, which will be in construction from now until 2057. The DWP identified a trunk line on Century Boule- vard near LAX, one that de- livers water in Rampart Vil- lage, Silver Lake and Echo Park, and another in the Sunland/Tujunga area of the

A widening gap for reforestation work
The loss of forests “is one of the least-known impacts of climate change and megafires,” said wildfire task force director Patrick Wright. The draft strategy for California obtained by Cal- Matters comes with no dedi- cated funding. The goal, Wright said, is to put every agency and organization trying to replant California’s scorched forests on the same page.
city as among its top pri- orities for replacement this year, according to the agency. The utility tries to coordi- nate with other depart- ments in case other public works projects can be done at the same time, limiting the number of times they have to dig in certain areas, said Anselmo Collins, the DWP’s chief operating offi- cer and senior assistant gen- eral manager. “We try to do as many projects as we can, ensuring also that we’re not affecting traffic in all areas of the city at the same time,” he said. But it’s not as easy as just deciding what project to do and then digging, he added. Officials have to design the project, get the necessary approvals and permits and coordinate with other de-

The strategy calls for streamlining planning, pri- oritizing projects tackling critical human safety con- cerns and ecosystem issues such as water supply, and in- creasing the supply of seeds, seedlings and workers. It urges land managers to avoid adding fuel to the fires, and recommends replanting at lower densities and with more natural spacing in- stead of the classic, closely packed “pines in lines” grid. Scientists have linked high- density plantings to high-se- verity fires. The most startling find- ings, though, come from the draft strategy’s look at the current landscape. Califor- nia would need to scale up reforestation by 35% annu- ally to meet the state’s exist- ing postfire replanting goals, which start at 280,000 acres per year in 2030. The in- crease would take “signifi- cant funds,” the report said, because reforestation can cost up to $6,400 an acre. But the current pace is lagging. Statewide, land managers have replanted roughly 254,000 acres of se- verely burned forest since 2020 — around 16% of the area stripped of forest cover by high-severity fires be- tween 2020 and 2024 alone. The number is just 8% on federal lands, outside of wilderness areas. Safford said the numbers are actually even more dire: Factoring in both wilderness areas and excluding forests likely to regrow on their own, his recent study reports that the U.S. Forest Service re- planted just 1.2% of the agen- cy’s California lands that wildfire denuded between

partments before work can begin. “It’s quite complex,” Collins said. To help stop leaks from becoming bigger problems, the DWP has deployed teams in recent years with acoustic technology to help identify small leaks before major breaks happen. “You can connect to the pipe and listen and detect where potentially you have a leak because there’s water flowing,” Collins said. “These are leaks that we haven’t seen surface yet. Un- fortunately, we’re still going to have situations where we do have a leak and we need to respond quickly.” Other major cities across the country are also grap- pling with the effects of ag- ing water infrastructure.

‘Nowhere near prepared’
For all the vitriol between Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Trump over the care and management of California’s forests, state and federal money — and people — often intersect on the landscape. On California’s end, Cal Fire funds and conducts re- search, and provides grants for forest restoration on private, state and even fed- eral land. Cal Fire also runs the reforestation center in Davis, where flats of young conifers are misted with wa- ter in the summer heat. Yet the money for Cal Fire’s efforts — cobbled to- gether from the state budget, federal grants and other one-time funds — rep- resents a relatively small and ever-changing fraction of Cal Fire’s multibillion- dollar budget. The nursery in Davis shut down in the early 2000s, a casualty of across-the-board state budget cuts. Though the seed bank freezer stayed on, the reforestation center didn’t fully reopen until the Legislature found funds to bring it back online in 2017. Scaling up and upgrad- ing the facility carry an esti- mated $26.2-million price tag; this year’s state budget included about $1.2 million to fund preliminary plan- ning. Meanwhile, other fund- ing is on the line. California’s climate regulators — chaired by Newsom ap- pointee Lauren Sanchez — voted in May to overhaul a key climate program in ways that could substantially re- duce or even eliminate up to $200 million a year for wild- fire resilience. Grants for re- forestation are among the many competing priorities for this funding. Although the Pro- position 4 climate bond in- cludes $1.5 billion for wildfire and forest resilience, state leaders are spending down the bond quickly. “The truth of the matter is that California is probably, infrastructurally speaking, in a better place than any other Western state,” Saf- ford said. “What that tells you is how ... poor the capacity is in general in the Western U.S., because California is no- where near prepared for the scale of this.”

try leaders conducted by the nonprofit American Water Works Assn. this year showed that infrastructure renewal and replacement, and financing for capital im- provements were the top two concerns. Another report by the as- sociation estimated that over the next 25 years, total drinking water infrastruc- ture construction needs will reach a cost of $2.4 trillion across the nation. To close the gap, an additional $56.6 billion in capital — above what is currently spent — would need to be invested annually every year from 2026 to 2050. Otherwise, wa- ter rates would more than double, according to the re- port. If funded entirely through increases in water rates, an estimated 30.4 mil- lion households would spend more than 2.5% of their income on drinking wa- ter, according to the report. And it’s not just replacing the aging pipelines that causes strain for utilities. Emergency repairs or system failures almost al- ways result in overtime re- quests, stretching budgets and leading to burnout among employees, accord- ing to more than half of util- ity executives who respond- ed to the survey. “There are other conse- quences that society doesn’t understand and we don’t evaluate,” Soibelman said. “The beauty of this is if soci- ety would understand how much bigger the cost is from the failure of infra- structure we could finally in- vest more money in keeping up our infrastructure as we should.”

Only two other council members missed more meetings than Rodriguez — mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, who missed 30 meetings, and Curren Price, who missed 34 while dealing with illnesses. On the other end of the spectrum, Council Presi- dent Marqueece Harris- Dawson, who runs the meet- ings, missed the fewest — just four of the 177 meetings from January 2025 until this month. Eunisses Hernandez and Ysabel Jurado each at- tended 169 meetings, or about 96%. Stella Stahl, a spokes- person for Raman, said that most of the council mem- ber’s absences were due to her position as the city’s rep- resentative on the South Coast Air Quality Manage- ment District. The remaining absences, Stahl said in a statement, “were tied to a small number of previously scheduled con- ferences and speaking en- gagements relevant to her committee work and district priorities, along with occa- sional sick days and travel for a funeral.”

SAN DIEGO — Federal wildlife authorities are in- vestigating after a video ap- peared to show a person kicking a protected sea lion at a beach in California. A spokesperson for the National Oceanic and At- mospheric Administration confirmed an investigation into the incident but de- clined to provide additional details Sunday. The video appears to show a person throwing kicks at the sea lion at La Jol- la Cove in San Diego as at least one other person can be heard laughing in the background. The person fol- lows the sea lion, throwing more kicks at the animal as it tries to scoot away before the video ends. “NOAA Fisheries’ Office of Law Enforcement is inves- tigating reports of a video on social media that shows an

Katy Yaro- slavsky serves on only five committees, but she chairs the Budget and Finance Committee, which edits and approves the mayor’s pro- posed budget before send- ing it to the full council for one of its most important annual votes. At the bottom of the list is Price again, who sits on four committees, including as chair of the Committee on Economic Development.

Legislation Another easy marker is the amount of legislation a council member authors. At each meeting, dozens of pieces of legislation go be- fore the council — some high-profile, others just to keep the lights on at City Hall (literally). Rodriguez, despite her relatively low attendance, was at the top of the legisla- tive list over the last year and a half, drafting 199 motions. A good chunk were mo- tions on whether to support or oppose bills at the state and federal level. Rodriguez also had the most ceremo- nial street namings of any council member, with 13. Rodriguez pointed to more significant legislation, like an ordinance banning city workers from taking on gigs for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as her proudest achievements. After Rodriguez, McOsker was the second- most prolific author, with 178 pieces of legislation, fol- lowed by Traci Park with 163. At the bottom were Price with 84 and Harris-Dawson with 90.

putes that view. The delay could saddle Paramount, the smallest of the major media companies, with substantial legal fees and hundreds of millions of dollars in added deal costs. In February, Paramount of- fered Warner investors a sweetener, so-called ticking fees, to win the auction. Those fees, which begin accruing in October, will cost Paramount an extra $7 mil- lion a day — until the pur- chase is finalized. And if Pa- ramount fails to close the merger, it would owe Warner Bros. Discovery a $7-billion breakup fee. “Anyone who thinks they know how this deal ends should think again,” For- rester Research Director Mike Proulx said in a state- ment. “This deal may still close or it may not. ... The path to either outcome just got longer, messier, and likely more expensive.” Paramount now must strengthen its case for a high-stakes trial while forti- fying its existing businesses and managing uncertainty among the employee base. It also must hold to- gether a coalition of finan- ciers, which includes the royal families of Saudi Ara- bia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar, which jointly agreed to con- tribute $24 billion for equity stakes in the combined com- pany. Paramount reversed course after U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Ol- guín dealt the company a blow last week when she blocked Paramount from fi- nalizing the acquisition until mid-August. Looming was a Aug. 3 hearing for the judge to determine whether the moratorium should be ex- tended. Paramount was con- cerned that the judge would block the deal for the fore- seeable future. “They saw the writing on the wall,” Bonta said in an in- terview. Columbia Law School business professor Eric Tal- ley added: “This doesn’t con- stitute Paramount Sky- dance coming out and wav- ing a big white flag, but it is a small white flag of surren- der.” Paramount, in a state- ment, said heading straight to trial would prove advan- tageous. “This is the fastest and clearest way to prove that this transaction is good for competition, good for con- sumers, and good for crea- tors,” Paramount said. “We look forward to proving our case at trial.” This month, the Writers Guild of America separately filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the merger, alleging that writers would en- counter less work and lower pay should Paramount buy Warner Bros. Now, the merger won’t close until after a resolution in the litigation or by June 1 whichever date comes first. “This is what we’ve been asking for from the start,” Bonta said. “We just wanted the court to have sufficient time to review our case with- out the threat of the compa- nies merging.” Ellison, through a Pa- ramount spokesperson, de- clined an interview request. The delay brings a differ- ent set of challenges, Talley said, including pushing the date of the takeover until af- ter November’s pivotal midterm elections when control of Congress might change. “That itself could be dis- ruptive,” Talley said. “Sup- pose we get a flip of the House of Representatives or the Senate, then we may see testimony in Congress.” Prominent Democrats, including Sens.

(D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) have expressed alarm over the potential consolidation, which would shrink the number of legacy film studios and bring CNN, in addition to CBS News, under Ellison control. Attempts to get Ellison to testify before Congress have fallen short. The Paramount chief declined an invitation to appear before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Pol- icy and Consumer Rights in February, as well as a subse- quent request from Booker to appear during an April spotlight hearing. “To what extent was the rush to get the deal done re- lated to the midterms, and what press coverage was go- ing to look like in the upcom- ing election season?” Talley asked. “CNN is not a huge moneymaking asset, but it is a prominent asset of Warner Bros. Discovery.” On Friday night, Trump extolled his friendship with the Ellison family during the White House Correspond- ents’ Assn. dinner while also criticizing prominent CNN anchors. Trump lauded Ellison’s stewardship of CBS News, saying that he was “going to make, I think, fantastic changes and keep some of the great stuff going.” CBS News has been roiled since shortly after the Ellisons acquired Pa- ramount in August and in- stalled journalist Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News. She has overseen a se- ries of controversial moves, including shaking up CBS’ evening news and sacking several “60 Minutes” correspondents. Paramount scored one victory: The European Com- mission gave its blessing for the merger in the European countries it represents. The company now has gained clearances from more than 60 jurisdictions, including from the U.S. Justice De- partment, which found that the merger probably would boost competition, not harm it. Paramount has pointed to its long list of approvals to reinforce its position that the merger is on solid legal ground. Paramount lawyers have criticized the case brought by Bonta and the other state attorneys gen- eral, saying the group cherry-picked three mar- kets — wide-release films, potential blockbuster mov- ies and cable television con- centration — while ignoring streaming distribution, which is the future of enter- tainment. Now, Paramount’s big- gest challenge will be win- ning that case. The states plan to re- quest a trial in 2027 after the two sides conduct months of discovery to prepare their cases. “We want to take deposi- tions of employees. We want to take depositions of cus- tomers and competitors in these marketplaces that are impacted [and] we want documents,” Bonta said. “We want to depose their experts and probe and test their experts’ opinions,” he said. “That all takes time.” Bonta and the other state attorneys general sidestepped the political landscape in making their lawsuit arguments. “This is just a straight-up meat-and-potatoes an- titrust case,” Bonta said. “The main point here is that antitrust enforcement is im- portant because monopo- lies that lessen competition hurt everyday people. “Once we have a trial, we’re going to win,” Bonta said. “So we think and we hope there will never be a merger.”

U.S. intellectual property. The Trump administra- tion on Wednesday accused Moonshot of using “covert” but not necessarily illegal methods to build K3 off the back of Anthropic’s Fable. Some U.S. politicians and AI companies including An- thropic have accused Chi- nese startups of illicit “distil- lation” of their models to ex- tract their technologies, a claim that Beijing rejects as “groundless.”
Cheaper and ‘good enough’ The rapid rise of cutting- edge Chinese AI models this year shows the China-U.S. race in AI has moved on from early last year, when Chinese startup DeepSeek shook up the U.S. technology industry and put China on the map with an AI model that per- formed on par with those in the U.S. but much more cheaply. The latest AI models launched by startups Z.ai, or Zhipu, in June, and Moon- shot in July are nearly as in- telligent as the frontier mod- els from OpenAI and An- thropic, experts say. Also in July, China’s Alibaba pre- viewed its Qwen3.8 Max AI model. In April, DeepSeek rolled out previews of its lat- est V4 model, challenging OpenAI’s GPT and Google’s Gemini. Those constant ad- vances are bearing fruit. Curt Meinhold, a Greens- boro, N.C.-based technology executive, said he increas- ingly prefers to use DeepSeek for tasks such as finding business leads or ways to generate sales. “At the end of the day, most of us, the vast majority of us, 90-plus percent, don’t need [Anthropic’s] Mythos or Fable,” said Meinhold, who founded digital legacy platform LilyList. “Like, we just don’t need it; we need something good enough.” Chinese AI models are reaching a “critical stage” for wide adoption, U.S. invest- ment bank Goldman Sachs wrote in a July research re- port, especially when a surge of global “agentic” AI usage — which requires the AI

models to autonomously conduct multistep, complex tasks — is driving higher de- mand for cost-effective AI models. AI prices are calculated per million “tokens” — units of data — for both input and output, so the use of AI “agents” is dramatically compounding cost differ- ences, according to analysts including Alex Colville of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. “The Chinese models, you know, I find them to be pretty close on code and re- search,” Meinhold said. “If I can pay a handful of cents per million output tokens versus 30 bucks or 40 bucks or 50 bucks, then it’s good enough.” Based on data over the last month, the five most popular models on Open- Router, a platform that tracks data across AI mod- els, were Chinese.
Estimates from Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm, showed Kimi had more than 930,000 downloads dur- ing the week after K3’s July release, an increase of 200% from the week before. In the U.S., it was downloaded around 86,000 times, a 387% jump. K3 proved so popular that Moonshot had to tem- porarily suspend new sub- scriptions after overwhelm- ing demand pushed its ca- pacity close to its limits. Still, while Chinese mod- els are becoming serious competitors to the U.S., they lag behind American AI leaders across their overall, full-range capabilities, said Anastasios Angelopoulos, co-founder and chief execu- tive of Arena, a platform for evaluating AI systems. And U.S. AI firms are also looking for more options to reduce pricing, such as with cheaper alternatives of com-

U.S. policy could boost Chinese AI
Most Chinese AI models are open-source — meaning anyone can examine and build on them — at a time when frontier models from U.S. companies such as An- thropic and OpenAI are closed-source. Chinese model vendors are expected to leverage open-source software to pro- mote their global usage and adoption, said Lian Jye Su of the technology research and advisory group Omdia. As Chinese open-source models are increasingly al- most as good as closed sys- tems made by leading U.S. companies, said Mozilla’s Krikorian, “the open frontier is becoming increasingly

Chinese-built.” While the U.S. weighs restricting Chi- nese AI models, a group of American tech firms includ- ing Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia signed an open letter published Friday backing “open” AI models. Other U.S. tech policies also at times give China an upper hand, some experts say. China’s Z.ai released its GLM-5.2 model in mid-June, not long after the Trump ad- ministration put export con- trols on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models, keeping them offline for more than two weeks. “Restricting an Ameri- can model can immediately create an opening for a Chi- nese competitor,” Arena’s Angelopoulos said.
Looking to expand globally
In China, people and businesses have rapidly em-
braced AI technologies that have prospered with state support. Chinese tech com- panies such as Huawei and Tencent are also embedding AI in devices such as smart- phones, AI glasses and hu- manoid robots. Now China is increas- ingly looking to dominate AI abroad too. At a flagship technology summit in Shanghai, Chinese Presi- dent Xi Jinping championed open-source AI models and the importance of promot- ing greater global equity, while pledging Chinese in- volvement in raising AI ca- pabilities especially in devel- oping nations. As is true for many other industries in China, intense competition at home is driv- ing companies to expand globally. Leading Chinese AI startups are now raising more funding to support that effort, including through public share offer- ings. Both China and the U.S. will want to “encourage widespread adoption of their AI ecosystems, while safeguarding technologies that could materially strengthen strategic rivals,” said Chelsey Tam at invest- ment research firm Morn- ingstar. “The competition is no longer simply the United States against China; the Chinese labs are also putting a lot of pressure on one an- other,” Angelopoulos said. But as is the case in the U.S., huge investments in AI have also raised concerns over sustainability of these Chinese startups.

The reeling market for electric vehicles recently got a boost from a crop of new models, highlighting how some automakers have not yet given up on battery-pow- ered cars. Toyota Motor Corp. tripled its EV business in the U.S. in the second quarter, thanks in part to the brand’s BZ Woodland and C-HR, both of which hit the market in recent weeks. Subaru Corp. also has two new EVs — the Trailseeker and Un- charted — which helped double the company’s EV sales. The recent introductions contributed to the 247,226 battery-powered cars bought by U.S. consumers in the second quarter, a 15% rise compared with the first three months of the year, when industry sales are typi- cally weakest. And although total volume was still down by more than a fifth from the prior year period, it provides a key glimpse into organic demand for EVs in the U.S. without the aid of federal in- centives that have propped up deliveries for years. “Despite everything that’s gone on, EVs are gain- ing traction based on their merit,” said Jess Senger, sen- ior research associate at Plug In America, a nonprofit advocacy group. The future of EV sales in the U.S. remains murky. Some analysts expect that without additional incen- tives, the market will found- er near its current level. Oth- ers, though, think ongoing drama in the gas markets, along with new electric mod- els from Ford Motor Co., Riv- ian Automotive Inc. and Slate Auto, will further juice sales by year-end.

onald Trump’s latest scheme to monetize his presidency — selling Wall Street traders the right to an early peek at his posts on his Truth Social platform — has raised two important questions. First, isn’t this insider trading? And second, if it isn’t illegal, shouldn’t it be? Here are the short an- swers: Probably not. And yes, it certainly should be illegal, but may not be. Here’s the deal: Trump Media & Technology Group, of which Trump owns 52% through a trust, and which controls Truth Social, his online social media platform, is selling “real-time” access to Trump’s Truth Social posts. In effect, this will give buyers of the service an advantage of seconds or milliseconds, knowing what Trump is posting on Truth Social before their rivals do. For high-frequency or algo- rithmic traders on Wall Street — the customers TMTG is targeting — even the slenderest time advan- tage could translate into millions of dollars in gains. Trump Media has been anything but circumspect about its new service. “When @realDonaldTrump Truths [that is, posts on Truth Social], the world reacts,” the pitch sheet says, according to the FT. “No comparable signal exists.” The company even boasts that it plans to rake in cash from Trump’s posts. It says in its official an- nouncement that the scheme will generate a “recurring revenue stream” and it expects the sales “to become a meaningful, on- going source of revenue for the company.” “Markets already move on Truth Social posts,” said Kevin McGurn, interim chief executive of TMTG, in the firm’s July 16 announcement of the serv- ice. Buyers will get “a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market- moving Truths.” Previously, these users had to rely on “manual monitoring” of Truth Social, the company lamented. Trump, who has 12.9 million followers on Truth Social, isn’t the only person posting “Truths” on the

The share of EV-curious drivers has grown since the war in Iran began, and there have never been more evan- gelists for battery-powered cars and trucks. Among EV owners, 95% say their car is cheaper to fuel and maintain than a gas car, according to a recent survey by Plug In America. And in three-quar- ters of households with both gas and electric cars, the EV is driven more often. In addition to new mod- els, the EV market was driv- en by some larger, family-

platform — his sons Eric and Don Jr. do too, among others. But let’s be serious: The only posts anyone cares about are those of Trump himself. TMTG says it has al- ready signed up customers for the service, which will launch Aug. 1, and that it will be “onboarding addi- tional partners in the week ahead.” TMTG doesn’t say how much its data feed will cost, but the Financial Times has reported that the going quote has been up to $100,000 a month. Whether “real-time” access to Trump’s posts can produce a long-time reve- nue stream is open to ques- tion. Trump’s posts are valuable to investors be- cause they focus on govern- ment policy. But as of Jan. 20, 2029, when he’s out of office and no longer has a grip on government policy, one would reasonably ex- pect their value to collapse. So for TMTG, this is the time to strike. For the first quarter ended March 31, it reported revenue of $871,000 and a loss of $408.8 million. As Bloomberg’s Matt Levine points out, once it has sold just three APIs at $100,000 each, most of its revenue will be coming from selling Trump’s “Truths.” I asked the White House about the implications, legal and otherwise, of this serv- ice. They referred me to TMTG, which didn’t re-

Kia Corp.’s EV9 and the Hyundai Motor Co.’s Ioniq 9 — each with three rows of seats — collectively lured 7,200 buyers in the quarter, more than double the amount that moved in the second quarter of last year. Nick Nigro, founder of At- las Public Policy, a Washing- ton, D.C.-based research firm, said current EV sales would be roughly twice as high if the Trump adminis- tration hadn’t killed federal
spond to my message. The legality of selling preferential access to offi- cial announcements such as Trump’s posts is murky. But on the surface it bursts the bounds of ethical skeevi- ness, defined by Merriam- Webster as “morally or physically repulsive: dis- gusting, sleazy.” Nor is this the first time Trump has moved to profit from his presidential perch. On July 1, his financial dis- closure reports revealed that his income jumped to $2.2 billion in 2025, with $1.4 billion coming from various new cryptocurrency-related businesses — an asset class that his policies have pro- moted. “It’s bribery. It’s graft. It’s exploitation of public power for private financial gain,” Kathleen Clark, an expert on government ethics at Washington University in St. Louis, told my colleague Jenny Jarvie. Trading patterns just before Trump’s policy state- ments have long raised suspicions of insider trading in Trump’s inner circle. I dashed cold water on that speculation last March. But in the wake of mar- ket turmoil following Trump’s announcement of global tariffs on April 2, 2025, and whipsawing fol- low-up statements over the subsequent days, I with- drew that conclusion.

Still, he said the crop of new electric cars comes at a propitious time, perfectly synced with surg- ing gas prices. “Geopolitical uncer- tainty right now is as high as it’s been in 23 years,” he said. “It makes consumers hesi- tant to make decisions first of all. But if they have to make decisions, they’re go- ing to make one that makes their lives less stressful.” Meanwhile, used EVs re- mained the hottest slice of

That brings us to the legal questions about the “Truth API,” the service being hawked by TMTG. (An “API” is an application programming interface, which gives software sys- tems a direct connection with one another.) Start with whether it amounts to insider trading. The standard doctrine about insider trading, as represented by the law and Securities and Exchange Commission policies, fo- cuses on the use of material, nonpublic information belonging to those to whom the trader owes a duty of confidentiality — say, corpo- rate employees’ trading on information belonging to their employer. “The theory is misappro- priation,” says Reneé Jones of Boston College, a former director of corporate fi- nance at the SEC. “It’s fraud on the source of that infor- mation.” The question here is who owns the information em- bedded in Trump’s online postings. Arguably it’s not Trump, but rather the U.S. government or the Ameri- can people. So his financial exploitation of his own decisions as articulated on Truth Social could be inter- preted as a misappropria-

In fact, demand was so hot that used EV prices surged, re- versing brutal depreciation rates that have historically handicapped the market.

tion of government proper- ty. Then there’s the 2012 STOCK Act, which forbids the use of nonpublic govern- ment information by mem- bers of Congress, their staffs and employees of the execu- tive branch for personal gain if the information came to them via their official duties. The act applies to the president and vice presi- dent. “If Trump’s public pro- nouncements are his own personal property, he can sell information about them or do whatever he likes with them,” observes business law expert Ann Lipton of the University of Col- orado. Trump’s posts, Lipton says, are “not Trump’s personal property; that’s information about actions taken by the president. ... Trump is not allowed to trade on it, or tip others in exchange for personal prof- it.” In a scary aside, Lipton points out that this deal “gives Trump an incentive to post more market-mov- ing information than he otherwise would,” since he has to keep posting to make the API thing look like it’s worth the money. “That gives him an incentive as president to change or disclose government policy based on what will move markets ... rather than based on a calculation of

Nigro, at Atlas, said the maturity of the pre- owned market will further embolden the EV-curious. “It’s an important barom- eter in how the consumer looks at EVs,” he said. “The stereotype of them being for wealthy people, the current moment is putting a knife in the heart of that narrative.”

what is best for the Ameri- can people.” TMTG may have found a clever way to skirt the legal restrictions. According to its announcement, Truth API won’t provide access to Trump posts before they’re posted, but rather a “real- time feed of the platform’s most market-moving Truths” — in other words, as they’re posted. TMTG seems to be say- ing that it will be informa- tion that is already public, since Trump has already posted it. What the API’s buyers get is the advantage of accessing those posts instantaneously, rather than waiting for them to percolate into the market- place. In any event, Trump’s involvement as the creator of government information, its disseminator and the seeker of profit through his private company makes the question of the API’s legality more complicated than the questions raised by most insider-trading or STOCK Act fact patterns. “This is probably not something that was ever contemplated by the insider trading laws, the STOCK Act, or the general rules about government employ- ees and their use of govern- ment information for per- sonal profit,” says Benjamin Schiffrin, director of securi- ties policy at the investor advocacy nonprofit Better Markets. The policy issue here may not be whether Trump is breaking the law, but the extent to which the Truth API is providing yet another advantage for sophisticated market participants at the expense of everyone else. The financial markets pre- sent themselves as level playing fields, but it’s widely understood that they’re tilted toward sophisticated, rich players. Trump has never dis- played much love for level playing fields — his career, indeed his behavior in office, has generally shown him to be a fan of tilting the playing field to his own advantage, or that of his friends or financial partners. Even if the Truth API is legal, it’s hardly a blow in favor of fairness. It’s just another way for Trump to fill his pockets while he’s still in the White House.
Trump’s latest tariffs
By Paul Wiseman and Wyatte Grantham-Philips
President Trump keeps finding ways to maintain a wall of tariffs around the American economy. On Friday, he rolled out double-digit tariffs on im- ports from 60 U.S. trading partners, ostensibly for fail- ing to do enough to prevent imports produced by forced labor. But the breadth of the levies — they cover 99% of U.S. imports — suggests an- other motivation: replacing worldwide tariffs that Trump imposed last year only to see them struck down by the Supreme Court in February. The forced-labor import taxes also happened to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday — precisely when time ran out on temporary global tariffs Trump had imposed after the Supreme Court setback. The levies were no sur- prise. They were virtually the same ones that U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer proposed in June. Still, they drew imme- diate fire from America’s trading partners and from U.S. critics who point out that tariffs are taxes paid by importers — or businesses buying goods from other countries — and are usually passed along to consumers with higher prices. “This is a blatant attempt to revive Trump’s illegal global tariffs under a differ- ent name,” said Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Demo- crat on the Senate Finance Committee. “These latest tariffs will continue to keep inflation and prices high for Americans, and do nothing to help workers around the world.” The Liberty Justice Cen- ter, a libertarian advocacy group, has already filed a lawsuit against the new tar- iffs in a specialized trade court. Trump’s high-tariff strat- egy, meant to revive U.S. manufacturing, comes with political risks for the presi- dent. Americans are already frustrated with the high cost of living as they prepare for Nov. 3 elections that will de- termine whether Trump’s Republicans keep full con- trol of Congress. Here’s what we know:
How latest tariffs are different The new tariffs range from 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 economies — includ- ing major U.S. trading part- ners such as the European Union, India, Japan, Canada and Mexico. The 12.5% rate applies to countries that do not have laws banning im- ports produced by forced la- bor. The 10% rate applies to countries that have restric- tions on forced-labor im- ports but are not adequately enforcing them in the Trump administration’s view. Trump is sparing some products from the new tar- iffs, including oil and fertiliz- ers, imports that receive fa- vorable treatment under a North American trade pact and products such as steel and aluminum already hit with tariffs he imposed on national security grounds. Friday’s new taxes are being imposed under more a durable trade law: Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which permits the president to place import taxes and other sanctions against countries found to have en- gaged in unfair trade prac- tices. Trump used Section 301 to slap big tariffs on China in his first term, and they survived court chal- lenges. Businesses — and, by ex- tension, consumers — are still paying the price of other previously imposed levies. In his second term alone, Trump has added duties on a range of products from specific sectors — using Sec- tion 232 of the 1962 Trade Ex- pansion Act. That includes tariffs on imported cars, steel and aluminum, lumber and even kitchen cabinets that are still in effect today. For much of last year, Trump also levied so-called reciprocal tariffs and other more sweeping duties on al- most every country in the world by invoking the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. But
those are the tariffs the Supreme Court struck down in February, forcing the ad- ministration to pay hefty re- funds. Meanwhile, the prior 10% levy that elapsed on Friday came with a time limit. That’s because Trump im- posed it using yet another law, Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows lev- ies for just 150 days.
What businesses are saying
The new tariffs were widely anticipated, and many businesses prepared by front-loading shipments of their goods. This month, the National Retail Federation and Hack- ett Associates forecast that import volume at major U.S. container ports would hit an all-time record in July, “driv- en by retailers stocking up ahead of expected tariff in- creases.” Because Friday’s duties are so close to the prior 10% levy, Oxford Economics notes that the overall effec- tive rate for U.S. tariffs won’t change by much immedi- ately. But all eyes are on the likelihood of the Trump ad- ministration imposing addi- tional Section 301 levies down the road — raising un- certainty for businesses yet again. The National Retail Fed- eration reiterated Friday that steeper tariffs result in “higher costs for business owners” — and therefore higher prices for consumers. “We encourage the adminis- tration to focus on trade agreements with our na- tion’s trading partners that truly open markets by lower- ing tariffs, not raising them,” the trade group said in a statement. Matt Priest, president and chief executive of the Footwear Distributors and Retailers Assn. trade group, said Friday that its footwear manufacturers have already been increasing prices on re- tailers in an anticipation of the new tariffs in recent months. He noted that last year footwear brands could work with its factories to share higher costs, but shop- pers are already now start- ing to see higher price tags. For June, overall shoe prices went up 4.1%, while children’s shoe prices rose 4.7% compared with June 2025, he said. He expects prices will keep rising as companies absorb higher fuel costs resulting from the Iran war. “We don’t see anything in the market right now that’s pushing prices downward, and that’s a concern,” Priest said.
The forced labor justification
Again, the Trump admin- istration is justifying the lat- est tariffs on grounds that the targeted countries have failed to do enough to pre- vent imports produced by forced labor. “The United States has had a forced labor import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it’s well past time for our trading partners to do the same,” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said. That reasoning was quick to draw sharp objec- tions from major trading partners. Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell slammed the levies as “com- pletely unjustified,” and Eu- ropean Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas questioned the Trump administration’s stance while pointing to the “very good” labor conditions on her continent. Criticism also bubbled up in Washington, much along party lines. “President Trump isn’t serious about combating forced labor,” Rep. Linda Sánchez, (D-Whittier) wrote in a post on X. “If he was seri- ous, he would not be apply- ing the same tariff rate to China, one of the worst forced labor abusers in the world, as he does to coun- tries like Australia.” Both China and Austral- ia face the new 12.5% rate under Friday’s tariffs. Trade groups across sec- tors also previously stressed that tariffs of this scope would do little to address forced labor globally. “Forced labor is a com- plex, multifaceted issue, and
the proposed tariffs will not remedy this global prob- lem,” the Forced Labor Working Group — which in- cludes the National Retail Federation, U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others — wrote in a July 6 letter to Greer during the adminis- tration’s investigation. They called on the U.S. to instead pursue “more impactful” measures to address forced labor.
What tariffs mean for U.S. Treasury
Trump’s doomed Inter- national Emergency Econo- mic Powers Act tariffs deliv- ered a windfall for the U.S. Treasury, generating reve- nue to help pay for the presi- dent’s massive 2025 tax cuts. With those import taxes in full effect, U.S. tariff reve- nue peaked at more than $31.4 billion in October. Then, after the Supreme

For years, quitting your job to become a social media influencer belonged in the same category as moving to Hollywood or trying to make the NFL: technically pos- sible but probably best at- tempted by other people. Now, for a growing num- ber of young workers, it feels like a more plausible career pivot. The rise of TikTok, Insta- gram Reels and Amazon storefronts has created a new kind of white-collar exit strategy — one in which workers ditch office jobs not necessarily to become celeb- rities, but to piece together an income online through brand deals, affiliate links and highly personal videos documenting everyday life. In many cases, the followers necessary to sustain a living are smaller (and more at- tainable) than people might assume. A small but loyal audience can now generate enough income to rival a midlevel salary. Welcome to the middle-class creator economy. Last year, 25-year-old Abi Platock balanced a corpo- rate marketing job in New York while posting online in her spare time. She built her audience by posting one or two videos a day, offering ca- reer advice, beauty tips and daily vlogs. “I signed my first brand deal in the four-figure range, and for me that was just such a big eye-opening mo- ment,” Platock says of her partnership with deodorant brand Secret. She had 8,000 followers on TikTok at the time. “You can totally make it work without having hun- dreds of thousands of follow- ers.” Platock, who now has roughly 25,000 followers across platforms, has signed about $25,000 in brand deals this year and expects her an- nual creator income to reach around $50,000 by year-end. Her experience reflects a broader shift in advertising. Brands are increasingly

moving money toward so- called microinfluencers — smaller online personalities who have fewer than 100,000 followers. “They are hiring a bunch of microcreators at scale in- stead of hiring a handful of macrocreators for what could potentially be the same cost,” says Ali Grant, co-chief executive of Digital Department, a creator man- agement company. And they perform where it matters most: engage- ment. An engagement rate of 3% is considered strong, and some microinfluencers exceed 10%, Grant says of the closely watched metric that tracks how often follow- ers interact with content through likes, comments, shares and saves. Microinfluencers aver- age a 3.2% engagement rate, almost triple the 1.1% rate for macroinfluencers (more than 1 million followers), ac- cording to growth market- ing agency ATTN. And though macroinfluencers generate roughly six times more revenue, their associ- ated costs can reach about 18 times higher, according to an American Marketing As- sociation study. A TikTok partnership with a creator who has around 50,000 followers can run a brand more than $3,500 for a single post, Grant says; with 10 times the followers, that fee might just triple, to around $10,000. Bonsa Nemera spends his weekdays working 12- hour shifts at a government- run dental clinic in New York. In his spare time, he posts content on TikTok and Instagram spanning oral-care tips to food reviews for his roughly 100,000 follow- ers. The 28-year-old resident dentist has a $76,000 annual salary and says he’s signed around $180,000 in deals from content work his year.“I almost doubled what I would have made in a year at my full-time job in two months,” he says. Nemera says his profes- sional credibility resonates with both audiences and

brands. His viewers are es- pecially receptive to his per- sonal finance content, where he offers money-manage- ment and investing advice, despite no formal training. The posts have landed him partnerships with major fi- nancial technology compa- nies such as Inuit Inc.’s Credit Karma and Block Inc.’s Cash App. As his on- line presence grows, he says he expects to cut back on his hours practicing dentist- ry. “I treat content creation the same way I treat dentist- ry,” he says, “if not more seri- ously.” The influencer market- ing economy ballooned to a projected $33 billion in 2025, up from $1.7 billion in 2015. The segment gained mo- mentum after the COVID-19 pandemic, as dissatisfaction with traditional work pushed many to reconsider conventional career paths, says Brooke Duffy, a profes- sor of communications at Cornell University. “They re- alized the trade-offs in terms of the investments of time, energy and human capital were not necessarily worth sacrificing so much of one’s personal self for,” she says. Success online can bring greater freedom — and even higher pay than many tradi- tional office jobs, which have a median U.S. salary of $69,000, according to Glass- door. But the middle-class hustle still requires constant effort to maintain. The ca- reer has no promise of life- time longevity. And unlike traditional workers, crea- tors have no predictable paycheck or job protections, making career stability elu- sive. Roughly 57% of 3,000 sur- veyed full-time creators earn below a living wage from content creation, according to a report last year from In- fluencer Marketing Hub. In- come from social media can fluctuate wildly from month to month, driven by shifts in algorithms, sponsorship cy- cles and platform trends. “You could have a month where you make zero dol-

lars, or you could have a month where you make $10,000,” Platock says. That volatility is one rea- son Grant, whose marketing agency represents more than 300 influencers, typi- cally signs only creators earning at least $200,000 a year, a threshold she views as evidence of an established business. Nemera, who expects to make more than $450,000 from content this year with a major ramp-up before the holidays, says he has doubts about the creator economy’s future but plans to stay in the industry as long as he can. “I’ve started treating creating like a business where I’m really just trying to spend as little as I can in order to grow,” he says. Even with the support of a talent manager, Platock also has reservations about going all in on social media. As income from TikTok and Instagram began approach- ing her monthly salary, she decided to leave her full-time role behind, but she supple- ments her influencing in- come with a part-time job in marketing and by teaching Pilates. As influencing has be- come more lucrative, it’s also sparked debate over how much work the job requires. In 2022 a video resurfaced of beauty influencer Mikayla Nogueira — who now has 17.4 million TikTok followers — complaining about the de- mands of her work. “Try being an influencer for a day because the people that say it’s easy are so far out of their minds,” she said in the now-deleted post. The backlash was immediate, with thousands of viewers accusing Nogueira of being out of touch. “There’s a stigma against complaining,” Cornell’s Duffy says, “because influ- encers purportedly have these dream jobs.” Gallup poll data released last year found employee en- gagement in the U.S. had fallen to its lowest level in a decade, with more workers describing themselves as “struggling” rather than “thriving.” Among the hard- est-hit groups were Genera- tion Z and workers in finance and technology. Broader workplace challenges, in- cluding rapid organizational change, hybrid and remote work transitions, and rising employee expectations are considered drivers of the overall trend. For many workers, influ- encing can seem like a better deal; flexible schedules and independence wrapped in a veneer of creativity and fun. Almost 60% of Gen Zers say they’d become an influencer if given the opportunity, ac- cording to a 2023 survey from Morning Consult. Of course, much of cre- ator labor is invisible. Be- hind a single post can be hours spent planning scripts, editing videos and communicating with brands — work audiences rarely see. And the same economic rip- ples can make treading wa- ter in content creation just as difficult as in a traditional job.

the fine print: Have the baby but do not complain
CHILD CARE for one infant can cost more than rent in some U.S. counties. That sends a message.
f I were deciding today whether to become a mother, I would say no. That is something that I, as a mother, am not supposed to admit. It sounds ungrateful, as though I must immediately ex- plain how much I love my children. So let me be clear: My children have made me better, softer, sharp- er, fiercer and more alive. They are not the problem. The problem is what this country asks of mothers — and how little it offers in return. The latest provisional data from the Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention show that U.S. births fell 1% in 2025 and that the general fertility rate has declined since 2007. The usual response is to ask why people are not having more children. I think the harder question is why we keep asking women to enter motherhood under conditions that so many mothers describe as punishing. When I became pregnant with my first child, I was young and hopeful. Then my daughter was born at 31 weeks and one day. Motherhood began for me in a neonatal intensive care unit, visit- ing a baby I could not bring home. The Family and Medical Leave Act protected my job, but it did not protect my income. That distinc- tion sounds bureaucratic until it is
TRUMP has long lambasted previous presidents for their roles in “forever wars.”
P
resident Trump and Iran each have one end of a rope with a knot in it; both need the knot removed, but know only how to tighten their grip and pull harder. Both desperately need this war to end, but can’t win militarily and can’t negotiate conces- sions. The only alternative is for the international community to take negotiation out of the parties’ hands. Trump can take an ego-sparing offramp by framing the U.S. as having won the battle, and it’s now time for others to step up and handle the diplomatic cleanup. A coalition of NATO and Middle Eastern states could devise an agreement among them- selves. Terms are foreseeable: Military action by one party against the other voids the agree- ment. The Strait of Hormuz is recognized permanently as international waters. Iran se- cures financial compensation on some basis other than tolls on shipping. Resolutions to nuclear and ballistic missile issues can be kicked down the road, since Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth assured lawmakers that Iran’s military has been set back “not just years,” but likely “decades.” Israeli and Iranian regional proxies would be out of scope; the U.S. cannot commit to maintaining a war simply because those parties are dissatisfied. The clear lesson of this war is that American aims in Iran can’t be achieved by war short of a full invasion and regime change, for which the people have no appetite based on the lessons of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. With the illusion of an easy war punctured, hope- fully that creates a new respect for diplomacy going forward. Michael Maniccia Alhambra

A few weeks after giving birth, I went back to work. That experience shaped years of advocacy. I wrote about preg- nancy discrimination, pumping at work, Black maternal mortality and the economic penalty women pay for doing the labor this country claims to value. I spoke with law- makers and worked in spaces where motherhood was translated into employment policy, public health, legal protection and legisla- tive change. For years, I believed that if mothers brought enough data, tes- timony and moral clarity, the coun- try might finally become honest about what it owes us. Then the pandemic made the hidden bargain impossible to ig- nore. Schools closed. Child care collapsed. Work continued. Fam- ilies absorbed the shock, and par- ents — especially mothers — were often expected to keep performing as workers while replacing the sys- tems that had disappeared around them.

Not every woman who does not want children is making an econo- mic or political statement. Some simply do not want to become mothers, and that choice requires no defense. But a country that wor- ries about declining birthrates cannot dismiss the material condi- tions under which women are ex- pected to give birth, recover, earn money and raise children. The American workplace is still organized around an ideal worker who has no body, no children, no aging parents, no illness, no grief and no caregiving responsibilities. Motherhood exposes that fiction. Instead of rebuilding work around the reality of human lives to sup- port all parents and other care- givers, we keep asking families to contort themselves around it. No employer has to order a mother back to work before she has healed when the system has al- ready made rest unaffordable. Un- paid leave says it. Rent says it. Health insurance says it. Student loans say it. Child-care bills say it. The professional expectation that she remain available, grateful and composed says it.

Two things stand out to me in Trump’s war with Iran. The American people still have no idea why this war was started in the first place, and a situation exists in the Strait of Hormuz that didn’t before he attacked. His so-called “deals” have not remedied the latter at all. Meanwhile, the Penta- gon faces a massive short- fall. A complete fiasco. Robert Langelier Hemet
with arbitration
Re “Kaiser’s dispute proc- ess draws calls for reform,” July 20
Arbitration sucks. For 50 years, I have served as a securities industry arbitra- tor and have represented both firms and customers in hundreds of cases before multiple forums. The oft- repeated promise that arbitration saves time and money over going to court is, in my experience, largely illusory. Arbitrator eligibility typically has little to do with actual knowledge of securi- ties law or procedure. In- stead, people with no mean- ingful training in the field are essentially instructed to “do justice” as they see it. That may sound appealing, but in high-stakes financial disputes, it too often means ad hoc decision-making without a solid legal founda- tion. After years of advocating for serious reform, I feel like Don Quixote — tilting at windmills in a structure
When women ask for the basic infrastructure that would make raising children more sustainable — paid leave, affordable child care, maternal healthcare and wages that can support a family — chil- dren are treated as a private life- style choice. Yet when politicians discuss falling birthrates, family values or the future workforce, motherhood suddenly becomes a national concern — and politicians dwell on how to encourage more Americans to have more babies. Where is the support for people who are already parenting? That would send a powerful message. In- stead, according to the Depart- ment of Labor, in some counties care for one child can cost more than rent. That also sends a mes- sage. America does not love mothers as much as it loves the story of mothers: the baby bump, the gen- der reveal, the Mother’s Day brunch, the campaign photo of a politician holding a baby. It loves us most when our sacrifices are quiet — our bodies, our income, our sleep, our mental health, our ca- reers. Women considering mother- hood are reading the fine print. Have the baby, but do not com- plain about the cost. Have the baby, but do not expect paid leave. Have the baby, but child care is
designed to resist meaning- ful change. Les Greenberg Culver City
branding issue
Re “Voters want what the Democrats’ left wing offers,” Opinion Voices, July 17
As columnist LZ Grand- erson aptly posits, the econ- omic prospects of most Americans would improve under a more socialistic governance. But in recent years, Democrats have been reluctant to tout transition- ing to socialism. The problem is that a huge swath of the voting masses can be reliably ma- nipulated to spurn the S-word. Especially the ones who buy into the amor- phous slogan “Make Ameri- ca Great Again,” on which no GOP politician dares expound. Republicans of course know what simply spouting “MAGA” will bring to mind throughout the low-infor- mation masses. To wit: gauzy recollections of the mid-20th century, when relatively unfettered capi- talism worked its magic, spurred by a post-war popu- lation boom that fueled the constantly expanding mar- ket on which capitalism famously thrives. Plus, the voting masses are susceptible to the GOP’s incessant conflation of socialism with communism. Sensible as the Demo- crats’ socialistic proposals may be, they face overpow- ering headwinds.

your problem. Have the baby, but do not let motherhood affect your performance. Have the baby, but if the school calls at 11 a.m., somehow be both a fully available worker and a fully available parent. I respect women who under- stand that not having a child may be an act of self-preservation. I refuse to lie to them. I have spent too much of my professional life asking America to value mothers and too much of my personal life learning how often it does not. Paid leave is not a perk. Child care is not a personal indulgence. Maternal health is not a niche is- sue. These are conditions that de- termine whether families can move through ordinary life, let alone cri- sis, without collapsing. Motherhood has given me more than I can explain. It has also taken more from me than this country is willing to admit. Both things can be true. I can love my children and still say I would not choose this path again. I can honor motherhood without recruiting other women into a broken system. Before asking why women are choosing not to have children, America should ask whether it has done enough to deserve their motherhood.

concerts at our beautiful Hollywood Bowl over the decades, I am a big fan of the improved sound. I no longer have to strain to hear some of the softer or more muted measures. I am no longer distracted by knocked-over wine bot- tles rolling down the hill of seats. The strong sound system helps block out conversations of other patrons too. I look forward to attend- ing more performances, knowing I will enjoy hearing the beautiful music without the prior years’ distractions or otherwise weaker sound capabilities. Thank you, Hollywood Bowl! Laraine Miller Northridge
Mark Swed wonders if “the newly potent sound waves only make matters worse.” His question has been answered. Based on this past Sat- urday’s concert of three subpar rock bands, the mega-amplified sound was deafening and soul-crush- ing. It added nothing to the mediocre music, which was part of our season sub- scriber lineup and not a personal choice. The Bowl made its book- ing mistake worse by playing loud recorded music during the two hours prior to the live concert, requiring our foursome to amplify our voices to have a conversa- tion during dinner in our terrace-level box. The new “sonic beast” sound system needs a major reset. Doreen Braverman Los Angeles

But that’s the reality for much of the underground network of pipes that delivers more than 400 million gallons of water daily to customers of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. We don’t give it much thought until there’s a major water line break, as there was early on the morning of July 16 under Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.

ast week, news broke that an artificial intelli- gence thingamajig broke free from the constraints of its maker, OpenAI, and committed what could be considered a string of white-collar fel- onies if it were human. Because the AI thingam- ajig is in fact not human, the incident raised a big kerfuf- fle but is largely being treated as a giant oopsie we can learn from, without needing the pesky interven- tion of new rules or laws to stop it from happening again. Such is the state of AI regulation in America right now. California Rep. Jay Ober- nolte (R-Big Bear Lake) would like to change that. Last week, he introduced the bipartisan Frontier Act with Rep. Lori Trahan (D-Mass.). While the bill might not make either safety advocates or big tech companies entirely happy, it offers up the most compre- hensive and strongest regu- lations of this dangerous industry that we’ve yet seen at the federal level.

Allen J. Schaben Los Angeles Times A City Council motion to broaden kids’ playing field
Allen J. Schaben Los Angeles Times
CHILDREN kick a soccer ball in the splash pad at Gloria Molina Grand Park.
repeal a 1936 ban on ballgames in city streets and sidewalks.
By Sandra McDonald
In 1936, there were no vi- deo games keeping children inside. Most households didn’t have televisions. Amid concern that kids playing in the streets would get hit by cars, Los Angeles made it a misdemeanor to play baseball, basketball, soccer or any other ballgame on a street or sidewalk. Nearly a century later, when kids spend half as much time outside as their parents did, City Coun- cilmember Bob Blumenfield wants to cut the obscure law
from the books. Blumenfield, who au- thored a motion to start the process, called the law, along with its punishments of a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail, “uncom- monly silly.” It’s a crime for a parent to play catch on the sidewalk with a child in front of their home, said Blumenfield, who represents the south- west San Fernando Valley. Nor can a group of children kick a soccer ball on a quiet residential street without violating the law. The law also prohibits throwing a “stone, pellet, bullet, arrow or any other missile, in, over, across, along or upon any street or sidewalk or in any public park.” It prohibits playing ballgames in public parks, except on designated courts

We learned from the DWP in the early postmortem that the pipe in question had been on duty for more than a century — 110 years, to be exact. As someone who writes now and again about aging, I’ve been giving this some thought.

or fields. “Let kids play,” said Olsen Ebright, who is on the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council. “Why in God’s name would we be having the city try to curb playing soccer or throwing a football?” The benefits of exercising on public land, when done safely and under supervi- sion, outweigh the risks of in- jury or property damage, such as a baseball going through a neighbor’s win- dow, Ebright said. Blumenfield’s motion, in- troduced last August, was supported unanimously by the City Council in a January vote, for which only Blumen- field was absent, as well as by the Los Feliz Neighbor- hood Council.

high school academic course requirements
have accelerated plans to review SAT and ACT testing.
By Jaweed Kaleem
As UC embarks on a new and speedier plan to deter- mine whether to reinstate SAT standardized testing, the university’s admissions board is also moving to reex- amine key academic re- quirements that reach even further into California high school classrooms: the exact set of courses students must take to get in. Those requirements dic- tate what California teen- agers learn long before they even fill out an application. Because of the size and in- fluence of UC across the state, the university’s course requirements determine as- piring students’ high school careers. On Wednesday, the UC Academic Council, the exe- cutive body of the sys- temwide faculty Academic Senate, ordered the univer- sity’s admissions board to review both questions. The board will study standardized testing first, delivering a report to the council by Feb. 12, 2027, the council announced. The Board of Regents would re-
take aim at Arroyo Seco cleanup plan
By Mack Baysinger
Between South Pasa- dena and Highland Park is a tiny wilderness of Mexican fan palms and even some oak trees. Some locals say they love it the way it is, graf- fiti, fire hazard and all. But the city of Pasadena says it needs the place to fil- ter out E. coli bacteria and zinc pollution that ruin wa- ter quality in the Arroyo Seco, which then flows into the L.A. River. The Arroyo Seco is born in the Angeles National For- est and winds through through La Cañada Flint- ridge, Altadena, Pasadena and South Pasadena and fi- nally Los Angeles. The wa- ter-cleaning project has been drawing protests from several community groups and some elected repre- sentatives for the area. Neighbors have organized a lawsuit against the city and there’s a growing social me- dia campaign to bring the project to a halt. Pasadena plans to re- move some of the densely clustered trees in the two- acre wood next to San Pas- cual Park to make way for a new wetland ringed by na- tive plants and walking paths. The city would remove thousands of cubic yards of soil and plants — six dump trucks’ worth each day —
ceive a recommendation on whether to require the SAT or ACT no later than June 2027. The admissions board will then turn to high school course requirements, sub- mitting an initial report to the council in May 2027; the regents would take up any course changes at an un- specified later date. UC Aca- demic Senate Chair Ahmet Palazoglu is framing the course review as an open question about “how UC de- fines and evaluates college readiness in a rapidly chang- ing educational environ- ment,” rather than a move to add or cut requirements. The schedule is faster than it appeared a short time ago. Last month, the admis- sions board rolled out a road map to study both testing and the course require- ments, then abruptly with- drew it July 10 without expla- nation, leaving one of the un- iversity’s most closely watched debates in limbo. Board of Regents Chair Maria Anguiano has since said the admissions debate had focused “too narrowly” on testing and called for “a fresh look at how we define and evaluate college readi- ness.” UC leaders said the new plan does not change the scope of the earlier road map
over about five months. It would make infiltration basins and widen the stream’s path over them to maximize water filtered by the soil as it slows and is drawn by gravity under- ground to recharge the aqui- fer. In 2010, a resolution by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board set maximum bacter- ia levels allowed in the wa- tershed. In response, Pasa- dena and South Pasadena secured close to $15 million for the water reuse project. Pasadena has said it faces fines of up to $10,000 a day from the board for not re- ducing bacteria, but those haven’t been imposed yet. At first glance, it might seem like a lot of commotion over a parcel that is about the size of two football fields. But to community mem- bers, unpaved and unmani- cured areas such as the ver- dant tangle of vegetation in the San Pascual site are an invaluable part of the city’s limited green space. “They’re going to go in and bulldoze that whole thing, wipe it all out, and then they’re going to put in these pools that will store water, and then they’ll put some vegetation around the side of it,” said Tim Brick, executive director of the group Stewards of the Ar- royo Seco. He described the

Myung J. Chun Los Angeles Times Anti-ICE activists mourn dead
A PROTESTER rallies Saturday in Pasadena as part of a larger action to honor people killed by U.S. agents.
By Brittny Mejia
Approximately 50 dem- onstrators gathered Sat- urday morning in Pasadena as part of a national action to honor lives lost during im- migration enforcement op- erations and in detention centers during the Trump administration. They wore fliers around their necks, hung with yel- low thread, bearing the smil- ing faces and names of some of the 75 people who have died since January 2025. “Killed by ICE” was printed above a photo of each person, including local resident Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez, a 52-year- old killed while trying to flee immigration agents who de- scended on a Home Depot in Monrovia last year. The Los Angeles resi- dents, part of the San Gabri- el Foothills Indivisible group, carried American flags and held signs that read “No ICE No War” and “Stop ICE Murders.” “Good morning, Pasa- dena,” Betsy Hanger, an or- ganizer with the group, boomed into a megaphone as she walked through an in- tersection. “Honk for democracy. Honk if you want ICE off our streets now.” A chorus of horns sounded as drivers signaled their support. Organizer Andra Clarke held a banner in each hand that read “Neighbors Say ICE Out.” The sign around her neck carried the name and photo of Francisco Gas- par-Andrés, a 48-year-old who died in a Texas deten- tion center in December. Clarke, 61, said the group has been gathering at the in- tersection of Colorado Boul- evard and Fair Oaks Avenue every Saturday since March. This month, they celebrated civil rights activist John Lewis. On Saturday, though, their focus was aimed at ICE. “Now 75 people have died at the hands of ICE,” Clarke said. “We were originally told, ‘Oh they’re going to go after the criminals, the peo- ple who are the worst of the worst.’ That’s a lie; that is not what’s happening. “They’re targeting com- munities, they’re targeting people of color. It’s fascism. Anybody who cares about humanity should care about what’s happening.” Clarke said it hit her hard when she learned of the two recent deaths at the hands of ICE. The event was also a vigil honoring 52-year-old Lo- renzo Salgado Araujo, who was killed by an ICE agent in Houston on July 7 while driv- ing his construction crew to a job site, and Johan Sebastian Guerrero, 25, who was fatally shot by an ICE of- ficer in Maine during a traffic stop earlier this month. “It’s like, again? It just doesn’t end. It feels like it ne- ver ends — the evil.” Shortly before noon, Clarke used a megaphone to read aloud the names of the dozens who have died. After each name read, Hanger struck a singing bowl, the vi- brations sounding out in the corner where they stood. At times, she read “unidenti- fied man” or “four unidenti- fied women.” Next to them was a post- er board with a photo of Da-
phy Michel, a 31-year-old woman found unresponsive at a bus shelter in Pittsburgh after ICE released her “into cold winter conditions and no care for mental health ep- isodes or notice to relatives.” “Let’s take a moment of silence for all those who were taken,” Clarke said, bowing her head. Among those gathered to listen was Leticia Lopez, a 65-year-old South Pasadena resident whose voice trem- bled as she talked about the impact of hearing about an- other arrest or death tied to enforcement operations. “It gets me to the core,” she said, striking her chest. “It’s not getting any better, it’s getting worse. I just feel like I need to do something.” Lopez, who wore a shirt that read “Immigrants are not criminals but the presi- dent is,” said her mother and grandmother were forcefully repatriated from Arizona to Mexico. Her mother, who was raised in Mexico, later met her father there. He moved to the U.S. in the 1950s as a bracero. Hearing the stories of today, she said, “triggers everything that they went through.” “When I see it happening, it’s a generational trauma that I feel,” she said. Lopez said people around her are carrying passports and documents in public to prove they’re citizens. “Because they’re afraid they might be profiled,

The 2026 World Cup came to an end on July 19 with Spain defeating Argen- tina 1-0, but the tournament is still top of mind for many Angelenos. More than 560,000 fans filled the seats at SoFi Sta- dium over the eight matches played in Los Angeles, at- tracting fans from all around the world who were lucky enough to get a highly sought-after ticket for more than $1,400 on resale. Out- side the stadium, bars, beaches and Metro stations became theaters of drama and triumph, culminating in hours-long revelry all throughout the city at after- parties and postgame cele- brations. For some, L.A. felt tem- porarily transformed. Al- though different neighbor- hoods backed different teams, there was an air of unity in the stadium and at watch parties that hadn’t been felt for a while. For oth- ers, this World Cup only re- inforced the values they al- ways associated with Los Angeles: cultural accept- ance, intense pride and charming grit. Since the tournament probably won’t be back in the U.S. for a while — host countries have to wait two tournament cycles, or eight years, to host again, accord- ing to a FIFA rule — we asked local residents to share their most cherished memories of this year’s World Cup. Here’s what they will remember forever from 39 days and 104 World Cup matches.
picked up, kidnapped by ICE. When my son goes out, I worry,” she said of her 28- year-old. Later that afternoon, about four miles away out- side of Home Depot in Pasa- dena, organizers staked in the ground dozens of white crosses that bore photos of the dead — the majority of them men. Attendees of the vigil laid flowers at the crosses in a makeshift ceme- tery. “Shot dead by ICE,” read one with a photo of Keith Porter Jr., who was killed by an off-duty ICE officer in California. Several of them con- tained details of how the deaths unfolded. A man killed after a tractor trailer struck him as he fled an ICE raid in Florida. A Cuban im- migrant who died in a deten- tion center (his death was later ruled a homicide). A Mexican national who fell 30 feet to his death during a raid in California. Among the photos on crosses were Renee Good and Alex Pretti. “Are we going to wait un- til 70 more die to do some- thing?” asked Marlom Por- tillo, an educator with the National Day Laborer Or- ganizing Network, as he staked more crosses into the ground. “What they want us to do is forget them,” Portillo add- ed. “We will never get tired of denouncing this atrocity.” “There are more people

Eric Deutsch, Los Angeles “For a few days the world stopped. Stopped fighting. Stopped hating. Stopped bickering. We heard stories of how great America really is. Great food. Great people. Great country. We even en- joyed ranch dressing and ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ again. We were re- minded of how beautiful our country is and that the world is small and we can all get along. I hope that emotional feeling remains after the fi- nal kick.”

Lochner said she watched as immigrant agents took six or seven men at an Oct. 1 ICE raid at the Monrovia Home Depot. “So un-American,” Lochner said, as she scanned the rows of crosses. “This isn’t right.” She added that her mom, who voted for Trump the first time, agreed with her. “I speak up, I will not be silent,” she added.

at site of burned Jewish temple
and swastikas being investigated as a hate crime in Pasadena.
By Jasmine Mendez
Authorities are investi- gating a hate crime after a beloved Pasadena mural was vandalized last week with an antisemitic message and swastikas. The incident took place Friday in the 1400 block of North Altadena Drive in the unincorporated area of Pasadena, according to the L.A. County sheriff’s Alta- dena station. It was unclear to investigators how many suspects were involved. On Sunday, Rabbi Josh Ratner told The Times that one of the congregants who lives near the temple discov- ered the vandalism. The mural, featuring a large, bright orange poppy, was “a symbol of hope, resil- ience and solidarity,” ac- cording to the Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center, which called for the mural’s restoration following the 2025 Eaton fire. The devas- tating blaze burned more than 9,000 structures and left 19 dead. “The mural was brought to life through the vision and generosity of many,” the temple said in a Facebook post. “We are deeply sad- dened and outraged by this act, but we refuse to let it de- fine our community.” This was not an isolated incident of vandalism at the ruined temple, Ratner said. Earlier this year, the remain- ing exterior wall of the tem- ple was similarly defaced. “The mural was erected in

In a span of minutes, we transitioned from empanadas to Japa- nese highballs and joined Japan’s supporters to see their nation dominate with a 4-0 win. “Though it may have been a trivial change of loca- tions and games, it was a poi- gnant and gentle reminder of the power of this sport and the beauty of Los Angeles. The World Cup gives each of us an opportunity to affirm our identities with pride, and Los Angeles throughout history has been the place that has welcomed these no- ble acts. Our nations of ori- gin may be separated by dis- tance, language and even culture, but on this night, Los Angeles was a city where we all came together as one.”

response to that prior act of graffiti,” he said. The synagogue has been operating off-site for more than a year, according to its website. The more than 100- year-old temple was reduced to rubble in the fire. Founded in 1921as Temple B’nai Israel of Pasadena, it served as a haven for Jews, who, along with other mi- nority ethnic groups, were prohibited from buying property in Pasadena and surrounding areas due to ex- clusionary covenants. In 1941, the temple moved to its current location on Al- tadena Drive. The syna- gogue changed its name in 1949. Kristine Garroway, a longtime member with an archaeological background, spoke with The Times last year about a previous mural at the synagogue that dated to the 1920s, although its true origin remains un- known. The modern-day mural artwork by scenic painter Miriam Hellmann read: “We are all responsible for each other.” The temple said it was working with investiga- tors and looking to restore the mural. It is not clear if Hellmann will rejoin the project. Ratner said a camera was installed following the first vandalism incident. The temple provided the footage to authorities, he said.

Trader Joe’s on the coffee ta- ble and watched and be- came total fans of the Nor- wegian gentle giant Erling Haaland with the blond ponytail and the strongest left-footed kick. Can we adopt him and his stuffed raccoon as our official mas- cot of the mountains and our cul-de-sac with a view? He would enjoy the four seasons and altitude like the rest of us.”
Drew Luetjen, Palms “Being in the L.A. Sta- dium for all eight games as a fan and a catering server! I loved every minute of watch- ing the games and experi- encing the fan support from all over the map. And then to top it off, I got to experience every locker room at the end of each game to see each team finish the day. It was sports at its best!”
Alexandra Rasic, Glendale “I have loved all of the en- ergy and advertising for the World Cup in our local Mexi- can markets. I had to look up an unfamiliar saying on a bucket of chicharrónes that translated to “Here, only my pork rinds thunder.” The saying means the speaker sees themselves as the top dog in a given situation, just as you’d expect in a game with such high stakes.”
Lynne Winner, Castaic “Watching all the inter- national fans have such a great time lifted my heart. America has stepped up and away from politics to share the joy these visitors bring to our table. Thank you, fellow Americans, for bringing un- expected joy and laughter to my world.”

bill to rein in AI
[Chabria, from B1]
AI presents risks requiring dedicated oversight.” Now, the challenge be- comes passing it, and pass- ing it in a meaningful, not- watered-down form — no easy task in a dysfunctional Congress driven by money and Donald Trump, and paralyzed by its own syco- phancy to both. If anyone has a shot, though, it’s Obernolte, who is that rarest of birds, a legislator who understands science and his colleagues. Obernolte represents Inland Empire areas around San Bernardino, but grew up in Fresno back in the era when the movie “War Games” was just hitting theaters. Those of a certain age will remember how far- fetched it seemed when Matthew Broderick’s high school genius character accidentally breaks into a military AI system to play chess, but “Joshua,” the computer, takes it too far and tries to blow up the world. Now, of course, that just sounds like a regular Tuesday. By the time he was in high school himself, Ober- nolte was giving that Brod- erick character a run for his money. An apparent com- puter savant, Obernolte was competing in artificial intel- ligence contests as a teen- ager, back when most of us were still playing Pong on Atari. Then he headed off to Caltech and then UCLA for advanced AI degrees. He said AI was his “first call- ing,” sparked when his father bought him an Apple II computer when he was 8. He ended up dropping out of UCLA after getting his master’s because his side hustle making video games, including “NFL ’95,” turned out to be more lucra- tive than being a starving student. He ended up foun- ding his own video game company, FarSight Studios, and building up a personal net worth close to $100 mil- lion. Not bad for a kid from Fresno. In Congress, he has stuck close to the MAGA power base and was one of seven California legislators to vote against certifying the 2020 election results, a vote he took in his first days in office. He has been en- dorsed by Trump multiple times, and now sits on a bunch of committees and subcommittees of relevance. For the past few years, he has pushed hard, if unsuc- cessfully, to create a frame- work for regulating AI, combining his deep under- standing of the technology with his equal understand- ing of MAGA distaste for intervening in business. Now, though, we’re in a moment, thanks to more than one big oopsie by tech- nology companies. Just a few months ago, Anthropic and the Pentagon had their own tense encounter after Anthropic questioned how its AI was being used by the military. Huffy Pete Hegseth is still huffing over that one. The public is increas- ingly skeptical of allowing the AI industry to govern itself, which is pushing legislators to rethink their hands-off approach, even as AI money pours like Niagara Falls into elections. Even Trump seems more inclined to consider it, signing an executive order recently that largely called for volun- tary restraints on AI com- panies. The introduction of the Frontier Act “shows how far the Overton window has shifted just in the past few months,” wrote Charlie Bullock, a senior research fellow with the nonpartisan Institute for Law & AI. “Not too long ago, a bipartisan bill this good and serious would have been a pipe
dream. But things change quickly.” Obernolte said the bill has been “a long time in the making,” but he hopes to package it with other legis- lation and is “cautiously optimistic” he can get some- thing passed and signed by the end of the year. As written now, the bill would allow the federal government to set min- imum safety requirements and set up a framework for licensed, independent audi- tors to monitor compliance. That third-party verifica- tion has been a key push by safety experts. The bill would also give the government emergency powers to pause an AI mod- el if it has a “present or impending catastrophic risk.” It also borrows from state laws including Cali- fornia’s Proposition 53 that require some (not enough) transparency on the part of AI companies when things do go wrong. To the consternation of some, the bill still contains curbs on what states can regulate on their own — basically carving out AI regulation as federal turf. This has been a huge stick- ing point in the fight over AI regulation because AI com- panies hate state laws and want them squashed. Their argument is that a patch- work of rules across states is too complicated. “You don’t want to have 50 different state require- ments for every single prod- uct that gets sold on a mar- ket, and that is particularly true of AI,” Obernolte told me. To some extent that’s reasonable — but the prob- lem so far has been that states such as California and New York have been the only level of government willing to try at regulation. California in particular has created some of the most comprehensive AI regula- tions to date and has about 30 pending bills on this issue this legislative season. The Frontier Act threads the needle on this by creating lanes where states can still pass their own laws — such as around consumer safety that would protect children or stop pornography. But preventing cata- strophic risk would largely be dependent on the federal oversight, which is great when the federal govern- ment is up to the task. Cur- rently, we can’t even keep measles in check. So that’s a bit worrisome. And Obernolte’s bill isn’t the only one vying for atten- tion. Another Californian, Rep. Ted Lieu, introduced a bipartisan measure of his own with Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas). Dubbed the AI Kill Switch Act, it would give the Department of Home- land Security the authority to shut down problematic models. Yampolskiy, the Louisville professor, said that bill had promise as well, because it’s important for companies to have a way to “rapidly disable or contain systems that exhibit dan- gerous or unexpected be- havior.” But, he warns, that’s just one part of the “complete solution” we need. Regula- tion is going to require more than one law. For Obernolte’s part, he’s shown a willingness to work on a practical solution, not just a political one. That alone is worthy of notice. The Frontier Act is a genu- ine attempt to govern a nascent industry that is too powerful and unpredictable to be left to its own devices. “I’m hoping that this is we’ve landed somewhere that everyone can under- stand and be happy with,” Obernolte said. “AI is not something that needs to be a partisan issue, and I don’t think it should be.”

but accelerates it, moving the testing decision timeline up by about four months.
How admissions review affects high school students For now, UC officials said, nothing changes for appli- cants. Students applying by Dec. 1, 2026, for fall 2027 ad- mission will not have to sub- mit SAT or ACT scores, and the university has not de- cided whether requirements will change for fall 2028 or later. Any change would re- quire a vote by the regents, who have final say over the tests and the courses. The course portion of the review targets what UC calls its “A-G” requirements: 15 yearlong high school courses across seven subject areas (thus A-G), that students must pass to be eligible for admission to UC or Califor- nia State University. UC said the review will weigh “the current number and subject areas that are required and recom- mended.” The admissions group that will lead it, the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools, will consult with representatives of the state Board of Educa- tion and K-12 subject spe- cialists. Palazoglu, of the UC Aca- demic Senate, said in a statement that faculty lead- ers “will continue working collaboratively with subject matter experts, K-12 part- ners, and other stakeholders to carefully examine how UC can best promote academic preparedness, student suc- cess and educational oppor- tunity for California’s stu- dents.” The concerns are not new. Under the now-scrap- ped June road map, a sepa- rate faculty work group was to examine whether the 15 courses needed to change. In announcing that effort, UC’s admissions board said the requirements “may be overly prescriptive/rigid” and might not “effectively address changing workforce needs, widespread adoption of AI, UC faculty concerns about preparation, ongoing

UC testing requirements and course policies have evolved over the years for students applying for admission.
shifts in student learning styles, and students’ need to apply knowledge and skills to current real-world scenar- ios.” Those questions carry over to the review an- nounced Wednesday. The requirements span seven areas: two years of his- tory, four years of English, three years of math, two years of science, two years of a language other than Eng- lish, one year of visual and performing arts, and a single “college-preparatory” elec- tive. They run deeper than what California requires to graduate high school. UC also “strongly” recommends a fourth year of math and recommends a third year of science.

where professors who have complained about declining student math skills say screening applicants with SAT scores could help bring in better-prepared first-year students. Because UC and CSU share the course require- ments, they effectively de- fine the high school course track for college-bound Cali- fornians. A UC Office of the Presi- dent report prepared for the regents found that 98% of California’s more than 2 mil- lion public school students have access to the full UC-re- quired curriculum. The re- port said that the share of graduates completing it has risen from 45% in 2015-16 to 54% in 2024-25. Fewer than 1% of UC ap- plicants and admitted stu- dents take only the min- imum 15 courses. Most take 20 to 30, according to UC’s admissions officials. This is not the first time

the course requirements — or math specifically — have become a tension point. In 2013, UC approved a data science course, submit- ted by Los Angeles Unified, to broaden math options, and by 2020 allowed such courses to substitute for ad- vanced algebra. In 2023 and 2024, UC’s faculty admis- sions board reversed that ruling, finding that three of the most popular data scien- ce classes were too light on algebra to count. Speaking to regents this month at UC San Francisco, California State Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond said there was a “crowded curric- ulum” pulled in many direc- tions. They included legisla- tive educational additions such as ethnic studies and fi- nancial literacy, a statewide push into college and career pathways, and the expan- sion of dual enrollment with community colleges.

Darling-Hammond de- scribed a system straining to keep pace with a changing economy, in which students increasingly move in and out of college and blend academ- ic coursework with hands- on career training. She endorsed the review as a necessary evolution of “a very important system that we benefit from here in California,” while flagging what makes UC an outlier nationally. “There is no other state that both has ad- mission requirements that are laid out and then actu- ally approves each and every course and its content,” Dar- ling-Hammond said.

pandemic — course policies have also evolved over the years. The requirements were built into UC’s rules in the 1930s, reached 15 courses by the early 1960s and added visual and performing arts as a category in 1999, the UC report said. Since the 2010s, UC has also updated its course criteria to match statewide academic standards, such as Common Core math standards and Next Genera- tion Science Standards. In addition to the data science dispute, a separate effort would have made a se- mester of ethnic studies a new admissions require- ment, but the UC Faculty Assembly, part of the sys- temwide Academic Senate, voted it down in April 2025. During a regents meeting this month, faculty and stu- dents spoke passionately about UC admissions, in- cluding the course require- ments. Some math faculty mem- bers have warned against loosening the requirements. Svetlana Jitomirskaya, a mathematics professor at UC Berkeley, said in an in- terview that she and others fear the effort to reevaluate the course list is “a danger- ous Trojan horse” and warned that algebra II should not end up on the “chopping block.” Others support keeping courses as they are for differ- ent reasons. Eric Rath, founder and president of L.A.-based Rath Tutoring, a college prep service, said in an interview that the uni- versity should preserve the existing baseline, which he described as a threshold sys- tem. “Students clear the bar or they don’t,” he said. Teesha Sreeram, the stu- dent observer to the Aca- demic and Student Affairs Committee, urged the uni- versity to keep its focus on access. “Expanding access to rig- orous coursework is one of the most impactful invest- ments we can make in Cali- fornia students,” Sreeram said, reminding regents that “college readiness doesn’t stop at admission.”

cars, they have delivered. President Woodrow Wilson was reelected the year that pipe was laid, and the Germans attacked the French in the World War I Battle of Verdun, with the death toll topping 700,000. In all the time since, the water flowed through that line under the many incar- nations of the Sunset Strip, feeding smaller pipes that quenched a growing me- tropolis that expanded from about 500,000 people to 4 million. Last month, I walked with friends from Book Soup one evening to get a drink at Dialog. If we’d done that on July 16, we might have been swept out to sea. Tadeh Ghazalian, owner of Dialog, was still sizing up the damage to his restau- rant the other day. He poked at the steps on a back stairway and the water- damaged tiles disintegrated like soggy saltines. Water, essential to life, can destroy everything in its path. “This is catastrophic,” Ghazalian said, telling me he had no idea when he’ll be able to put employees back to work and serve custom- ers again. The LADWP has roughly 6,800 miles of pipes between 4 inches and 20 inches in diameter, and an additional 570 miles of larger trunk pipes. Many of them work until the day they die, and the funeral is the opposite of what we do with people. We pull the dead soldiers out of the ground and cart them away. The DWP tells us that 30% of its underground mainlines are 80 years old or older. By comparison, roughly 3.7% of L.A. Coun- ty’s humans are 80 or older. You may recall that back in 2014, when UCLA was temporarily an underwater university, it was another geezer that blew a gasket. That pipe was 90, and it died spectacularly, sending up a 30-foot geyser and causing damage in the millions. But just as humans do, old pipes can defy the odds and perform better than younger ones. “Age is not the only fac- tor,” Anselmo Collins, DWP’s water systems chief, told me.

Blumenfield’s staff un- earthed the 1936 law while researching public rights of way, said Kristine Cajulis, a communications deputy for the council member. Cajulis said she is unaware of any- one who has been penalized under the law. One instance of enforce- ment occurred in 2006, when a former City Council field deputy reported her Sher- man Oaks neighbors for hav- ing basketball hoops near their curbs, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. In addition to the anti- ball-playing ordinance, the neighbors were accused of violating an ordinance pro- hibiting structures on side- walks or grassy strips next to curbs. Nate Brogin had set up a basketball hoop that drew neighborhood kids for pickup games and helped

Melvin Daniel Seltzer passed away at home on July 15th, 2026. Mel worked for LAUSD for over 25 years. He loved playing golf and animals. He is survived by his partner, Lorena, his sister and brother, Cathy and Gregg, his son and daughter in-law, Patrick and Rachel, and his grandson, Benjamin. He will forever live on in our hearts.

up on that thought. “You can look at a 100- year-old pipe,” he said, “and the pipe is in perfect condi- tion.” The factors that wear down a pipe’s structural integrity include soil com- paction and water table variables, Soibelman said. As someone who has weighed in now and again on DWP operations, my occupational instinct in sizing up the spate of water line breaks (a few more leaks have sprouted since the most recent big one) is to consider the possibility of failed leadership. This is an agency with a history of billing scandals, of union bosses bullying push- over pols, of robust pensions and sweetheart health and dental plans that require little or no payment by employees. And then there’s the annual plowing of mil- lions in DWP surplus dollars into the City Hall piggy bank, which convinces ratepayers they’re being fleeced. So has the agency ne- glected the geriatric under- ground foundation on which it stands? To be fair, DWP is replac- ing about 45 miles annually of deteriorating water lines, with the new pipes built to last as long as 150 years. “They should have started this about 40 or 50 years ago,” said Loyola Marymount University

engineering professor Jo- seph Reichenberger. Soibelman pushed back on that a bit. “They do pretty well,” said the USC professor, who spoke to me by phone from an infrastructure conference at Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Philadelphia and Bos- ton, much older cities, have more water main break- downs than L.A., Soibelman said. And the DWP is well below the national average in leaky pipes, he said, thanks to sophisticated monitoring and manage- ment techniques. Just out of curiosity, I did a bit of research on Cam- bridge and found that Fran- ciscan friars laid the first water pipes in 1325, and the modern water system went into the ground in 1855. The local utility is in the midst of a five-year project to replace about 150 miles of pipes, the oldest of which are about 170. The Cambridge water utility’s “incident” website says there have been four water main breaks since early June, including one Thursday afternoon at Boxworth Road and Cot- terells Lane. The use of garden hoses has been temporarily banned be- cause of drought. So it could be worse here in L.A. Collins told me the 45 miles of new pipe being
his then-18-year-old son lose 30 pounds. Brogin, who said at the time that the law was akin to fascism, fought the city, un- successfully. He said he ne- ver paid his fine — he doesn’t remember how much it was — but he eventually pulled the hoop down. “That’s a long time to let something so backwards go on,” Brogin, now 77, said of the law. In newspaper stories from the 1930s, local officials warned parents to keep their children from playing in the streets to avoid being struck by cars. Children should be al- lowed play in vacant yards or empty spaces but should not be permitted “to risk injury by playing their games in the path of moving vehicles,” said George Hjelte, then-su- perintendent of Los Angeles playgrounds, in a Feb. 3, 1936, Daily Breeze article.
installed each year is about triple the number from two decades ago. Picking up the pace is a worthy goal, he said, but that would mean beefing up the workforce, disrupting traffic and com- merce with more street closures, and asking cus- tomers to write bigger checks. “There’s a rate impact if you do more,” Collins said. This is a familiar theme in Los Angeles. Pipes. Sidewalks. Trees. Aging is expensive. And if you let things go, the price rises to where you can’t cover the cost of surgery. It would take years and millions to fix all the rup- tured sidewalks in Los Angeles. European cities have done a better job, Soibelman said, but that’s partly because they were designed for walking, while L.A. is built for four-wheeled comfort. In 1916, when the 36-inch pipeline was dropped into the ground along Sunset Boulevard, cars were just beginning to compete with trolleys and horse-drawn wagons in Los Angeles. There were no Dodgers. The team, known as the Brooklyn Robins, was 3,000 miles and 42 years away from Los Angeles. Philippe the Original was in business, but Musso & Frank Grill was three years away from mixing its first martini. Born in 1916, and now long gone, were Walter Cronkite, Gregory Peck, Dinah Shore, Jackie Glea- son and Kirk Douglas. It’s tough getting old. I know a couple of senior citizens, though, who are doing remarkably well. At the epicenter of the break, Bullwinkle managed to pull a rabbit out of his hat and save himself and Rocky while everything around them was swept away July 16 in West Hollywood. The statue of the cartoon characters, now 67 (look it up, first episode was in 1959), stood firmly at Sunset and Holloway, with Rocky the squirrel and Bullwinkle the moose monitoring the Big Fix as if they were fore- men on the DWP payroll.

In today’s L.A., the road safety groups Streets For All and Streets Are For Every- one see Blumenfield’s pro- posal as a positive step. Safe- ty starts with drivers paying attention to people in the streets, whether biking, walking or playing, they said. Some drivers in Los An- geles believe the road be- longs to them, said Michael Schneider, founder and chief executive of Streets For All. “Changing that takes a lot more than repealing a law,” he said. Kids still play in the streets in Brogin’s Sherman Oaks neighborhood. He said that fewer than 10 cars pass through in a typical hour, and drivers stop for children to pause their games and move out of the way — just as he did when he was a boy. “It’s a great social exer- cise,” Brogin said. “I don’t see any negative to it.”

site as a “little environmen- tal gem.” Andrew Salas, chair of the Gabrieleño Band of Mis- sion Indians — Kizh Nation, called for a “full avoidance” of the area. In a letter to city officials, he wrote that the project risks permanently damaging fragile and tribal sites within the Haha- mongna Watershed, and in- cludes a “high probability of encountering ancestral hu- man remains.” The place is used. “People will go down there and sit, because it’s like 10 to 15 degrees cooler there by the stream,” said Clara Solis, a member of Save San Pascual Park. Peo- ple nearby don’t all have air conditioning, she said. “It’s valuable to us.” She said her apprecia- tion of trees comes from growing up in unincorpo- rated East L.A., near the 60 and 710 freeways. She saw trees in her neighborhood cut down to make it easier for cars to exit the freeway, resulting in more freeway noise and pollution. The trees had been a shield. When Solis learned that close to 140 trees were to be removed in the Arroyo Seco project, she jumped into ac- tion. She led a lawsuit against Pasadena in 2024, alleging it didn’t carefully consider the effect the project would have, prompting the city to do a full environmental im- pact report. Grassroots organizers also say the first wave of no- tices did not reach many residents who live on one side of the arroyo and were distributed only in English. Though the objections to the project are diverse and heated, what unites almost everyone is the desire for a cleaner Arroyo Seco. The environmental non- profit Heal the Bay gave it an Fon its Annual River Report Card in 2025, mainly for E. coli. Brent Maue, city engi- neer for the Public Works Department of Pasadena, said the San Pascual site is a good candidate for this

work. The sliver of land is “one of the few” where it’s possible to improve water quality and restore a wet- land at the same time, he said in an email. More people will be able to use it, too. Christina Monde, Pasa- dena’s city project manager for the Arroyo Seco project, attributed some of the oppo- sition to misconceptions, such as that Pasadena is cleaning the water in order to irrigate a golf course. But the pipe that takes water for that golf course dates back 70 years and its capacity will not increase, she said. The draft environmental impact report supports that. Monde doesn’t think the wild patch is so important to keep in its current state. “It’s just not the pristine area that people say it is, and I think that the improve- ments that we’re proposing will make it a much more aesthetically pleasing, ac- cessible, and safe area for the community to enjoy,” she said, citing unauthorized trails, overgrowth, un- housed people living there, broken chain-link fencing as well as barbed wire and al- gae. She noted that 82 of the 136 trees to be removed are invasive Mexican fan palms, which also pose a fire haz- ard. The public comment pe- riod on the draft environ- mental report has been ex- tended to Saturday. Comments should be sent to cmonde@cityof pasadena.net. There will be another community meet- ing, Monde said, but no date has yet been set. Visiting the San Pascual site today illuminates all sides of the debate. A rusted fence almost entirely encir- cles the lot. There is a path in from the northern corner, marked by a hand-painted wooden sign on a utility pole that reads “HANDS OFF THIS.” Following the path feels like a peek into a Juras- sic jungle as it unspools past lush clusters of palms, com- ing close to a small stream diverted from the Arroyo, and all the bacteria it carries.

NEW YORK — Dodgers re- liever Will Klein had just induced the Mets’ Marcus Semien to whiff on a high heater. In a 1-1 count, Klein, who had struggled with command, went back to the fast- ball, knowing he could throw it for a strike.

sional softball player. Not because their love for the sport dwindled. Nor because professional routes were not an option. Pro softball leagues have existed since 1976, but they have lacked the visibility and accessibil- ity imperative to flourishing and gaining popularity. “From my experience growing up, and it’s the same amongst a lot of athletes that are my age, we didn’t have a lot of role models to look up to,” said Chicago Bandits outfielder Jessica Clements, who spent her senior season at UCLA in 2025. “We had Jennie Finch, Natasha Watley, Monica Ab- bott, but the odds of playing professionally were slim. There wasn’t a lot of oppor- tunity, and a lot of younger kids were unsure of what the environment would look like in many years.”

That’s changing with AUSL, the Athletes Unlim- ited Softball League. The AUSL — which launched in 2025 and builds off previous iterations of professional softball — saw a 181% increase in average viewership across ESPN platforms in one year, in- cluding a record-high 404,000 viewers for a June 21 game between the Portland Cascade and Texas Volts. Among the 96 active play- ers in the AUSL, 13 are for- mer UCLA softball players — omitting two general managers, a head coach and an assistant coach who are a part of the AUSL and hail from the Westwood program — making UCLA the most well-represented school in the league.

home run that sent the Dodgers to an 8-3 loss Sunday at Citi Field. “Gave him a fastball, and he’s ready for it, and put it out there,” Klein said. “When you’re ahead and you’re dictating things, that’s a popup, or they have to think about other stuff when I’m throw- ing off-speed in the zone. But I haven’t been, and so it’s really easy just throwing a fastball there, even if it’s in a spot that should be hard- er to hit, if you’re behind and the guy is a good hitter, it’s a lot easier for them to make that commit- ment and put a barrel to it.” Despite failing to pull off the sweep, the Dodgers went 6-3 on their East Coast swing and won series against the New York Yan- kees, Philadelphia Phillies and Mets.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Car- los Beltrán and Bad Bunny haven’t met yet, but the Hall of Fame slug- ger and the superstar rapper share a love of family and their beloved Puerto Rico. So while thinking of a way to honor his parents during his induction speech, Beltran pulled from one of Benito Antonio Mar- tinez Ocasio’s hits Sunday after- noon at the Clark Sports Center. Most of Beltrán’s induction speech at the National Baseball Hall of Fame was in English, but he delivered part of it in Spanish to address his parents, Wilfredo and Carmen. That’s when he quoted Bad Bunny’s “La Mudanza,” one of the songs the Puerto Rican star sang during the last Super Bowl half- time show. “Un aplauso pa Mami y Papi porque en verdá rompieron.” (In English, “One round of ap- plause for Mom and Dad because they truly crushed it.”) “I love that song,” Beltrán said after he was inducted into the Hall along with former Dodgers Jeff Kent and Andruw Jones before an estimated crowd of 12,000. “I like it because it’s a tribute to our par- ents. “I think it’s cool what [Bad Bunny] does with his music.

Tadej Pogacar con- firmed his status as one of cycling’s all-time greats af- ter winning a record-equal- ing fifth Tour de France title in emphatic style Sunday. Daring mountain attacks from deep, multiple stage wins and an ice-cool temper- ament all helped the 27-year- old Slovenian seal his vic- tory. He joined Belgian Eddy Merckx, Spaniard Miguel Indurain and Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault as the only riders to win five Tours. “I’m speechless. It’s an in- credible day, there was an in- credible atmosphere,” Pogacar said. “I’ve ridden seven Tours already and I’ve always finished on the po- dium. You might think this is a fairy tale, it’s incredible for me too.” After competing strongly in Sunday’s 21st and exciting final stage in Paris, Pogacar finished 6 minutes, 26 sec- onds ahead of Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel in the overall standings. Pogacar’s teammate Isaac Del Toro, a 22-year- old Mexican making his Tour debut, was third at 9:42 back from Pogacar, who smiled and held up his hand to signify his wins.
Shin ends long LPGA drought
South Korean Jenny Shin secured a two-shot vic- tory at the Women’s Scottish Open to end a wait of more than 10 years for her second LPGA win.

David Martínez also scored in a 3-0 first half for LAFC, which hasn’t lost since May 17. Bouanga added his second goal in the 85th minute, giving him 10 in 17 matches this season. With an inspired Son and a top-form Bouanga both scoring in every game since the break, LAFC has outscored its last three op- ponents by a combined 10-1. It has pulled even with Van- couver and San José atop the Western Conference standings with 33 points and 10 victories, although the Whitecaps and Quakes both have games in hand.

For champion Fox, speed is the secret
By Doug Ferguson
SOUTHPORT, England — More than a British Open champion, Ryan Fox has be- come the new face of playing quickly in a sport that could use a good example. Perhaps the best illustra- tion came during the most important moment of his life. He had a 12-foot birdie putt to win his first major, pressure as great as can be found in golf. The 39-year- old Fox took all of 22 seconds to send it on its way. He chose his words care- fully after his breakthrough win to make sure he didn’t offend. “I need to make sure this comes across right,” Fox said. “It’s not that difficult to pick a shot and pick a club. I get in there, and it all hap- pens quick. It’s always going to be between one or two clubs into a green, and I just see the shot quickly, pick a shot quickly, and the less time I have to think about it, the less bad stuff can creep in there.” It was all good at the British Open — the perfect drive, the perfect nine-iron, the perfect putt. Fox joins a short list of players renowned for getting on with it during the big money era — Joe Ogilvie and Bill Haas, Dustin John- sonand Brooks Koepka, Lu- cas Glover and Matt Jones. Fox was asked if anyone was quicker than him, and he mentioned Renato Para- tore of Italy. “He used to hit while his name was getting an- nounced on the first tee,” Fox said. He also shared a story in- volving Scottie Scheffler, who did not make the list. He said they played in a three- some during the WM Phoenix Open. “I can’t work out if this was a burn or a compli-

The French forward controlled Mathieu Choinière’s long pass, shrugged off a defender and finished. Bouanga’s pass then set Martínez loose on a counter- attack with Son in injury time, and Martínez buried his sixth goal. LAFC added yet another transition goal late when Ryan Porteous’ long pass found Tyler Boyd, who fed Bouanga for the brace.

Begay will be honored on Aug. 25 in Atlanta during the Tour Championship. The award was created after the death of Stewart in a plane crash in October 1999, the year he won the U.S. Open. “Payne Stewart repre- sented the very best of our game, not only in how he competed, but in how he lived his life and gave back to others,” Begay said. “To be associated with his legacy is truly special. Golf has given me a platform to serve, and I’ve always believed it’s our responsibility to use that platform to uplift others, es- pecially the next genera- tion.”

The Galaxy (5-7-6), who had lost back-to-back games by a combined score of 6-1, are winless in three games since returning from the World Cup break. On the counterattack, Paintsil put away a feed from Marco Reus with a first- touch finish that opened the scoring in the 13th minute. The Earthquakes had 61% possession and outshot the Galaxy 9-2 in the first half but trailed until Reid Roberts tapped in from point-blank range in the 63rd minute to make it 1-1. Angus Gunn made his second start and had one save for the Earthquakes (10-4-3). San José lost 4-0 to Or- lando City at home on Wednesday night in the 30- year-old Scotland interna- tional’s MLS debut.

CHICAGO — Jonquel Jones, Nneka Ogwumike and Dominique Malonga made WNBA history on Sat- urday night. It was quite the All-Star party in the league’s 30th season. Jones had 22 points, 13 re- bounds and eight assists, helping Caitlin Clark and Team Spoon outlast Marina Mabrey and Team Coop 129-122 in the WNBA All-Star Game. Playing with a heavy heart after the death of an aunt, Jones was named MVP. The 32-year-old New York Liberty center became the first player to win the league, WNBA Finals, Com- missioner’s Cup and All- Star MVP awards. “No matter what mood I’m in, basketball can pick me back up,” Jones said, “and so just leaning into that.” Malonga had a first-half dunk for Team Coop, but Team Spoon had eight play- ers score in double figures in an All-Star Game that fea- tured 127 three-point at- tempts and very little de- fense.

Diamond, where the Utah Talons — who boast a roster with five former Bruins, in- cluding UCLA softball asso- ciate head coach Lisa Fernandez as the general manager — clinched their second straight AUSL title over the Bandits on Sunday. UCLA alum Jadelyn Allchin was named the AUSL cham- pionship MVP. And UCLA softball’s presence in all facets of AUSL is no coincidence. The Bruins feature 12 NCAA championships and 119 All-American honorees, both of which rank first all time, and that’s not includ- ing an AIAW title and one All-American before the NCAA era. But while the program is known for its ac- colades, the influence UCLA and its players have made on the sport stretches far be- yond any banners or tro- phies. “When you look at the history of softball in the last 40 years, you can’t see a U.S. national team, any pro ven- ture or excellence at any lev- el of softball without having an influence of UCLA in it,” said Oklahoma City Sparks general manager Kirk Walker, who spent 24 years coaching as an assistant coach in Westwood. There have been only three coaches — Sharron Backus, Sue Enquist and
Star Game in Chicago since 2022. This time, the marquee event took place in front of a record crowd of 19,783 at the United Center instead of the smaller Wintrust Arena in downtown Chicago. “To be able to have tonight, have 19,000 people in the highest attendance ever in the All-Star Game, just really shows that our league is growing and people want to be around us and want to be a part of this and under- stand how special it is,” Jones said. Ogwumike scored 11 points for Team Spoon while passing Maya Moore (119) for the most career points in All- Star Game history. Kelsey Mitchell had 28 points for Team Coop, and Mabrey scored all of her 23 points during a red-hot first half. The 20-year-old Malo- nga finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds. “I got to see a few go down early,” said Mabrey, who matched the WNBA scoring record when she had 53 points for Toronto in a win over the Sparks on June 25. “That’s kind of like my thing. Get them up when they’re going in.” WNBA greats Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weather- spoon drafted the All-Star teams from players who were either voted as starters by fans, media and fellow players or chosen as re- serves by the league’s coaches. Las Vegas’ Becky Hammon coached Cooper’s team, and Minnesota’s Cheryl Reeve was in charge
Kelly Inouye-Perez — in UCLA history, all of whom created unparalleled suc- cess and a program built on a standard of excellence and a familial culture. But no as- pect of the UCLA culture may be more significant than the “Bruin Bubble” — a concept at the very heart of the program centered on alumni involvement. “It comes from the wom- en who were there from the beginning, paving the way for players like us and play- ers that are to come,” said Sparks infielder Delanie Wisz, who competed at UCLA from 2020 to 2022. “The idea of the ‘Bruin Bub- ble’ and buying into some- thing bigger than yourself, coach Sue Enquist, coach Sharron Backus and coach Inouye-Perez have done a really good job of keeping that at the forefront, and making sure that we’re playing for something much bigger than any individual award.” While the childhood aspi- rations of the Bruins in the AUSL never reached the height of professional soft- ball, a common goal con- nected them all — playing for their dream school in Westwood and learning from individuals who have achieved immeasurable suc- cess greater than any record or championship.

She buried another three early in the second quarter off a slick no- look pass from Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles, the only rookie selected for the game. Clark and Mabrey each put on an offensive show, but Malonga got the biggest cheer of the night. The 6- foot-6 center from the Seat- tle Storm ran down the lane, got a pass from Angel Reese and threw down a right-han- ded jam with 6:24 left in the first half. Reese jumped up and down as Malonga finished the play, and the two ex- changed a midair chest bump on their way back down the court. “The way she makes it look easy, the excitement around it,” said Paige Bueck- ers, who scored 12 points for Team Coop. “I love Dom ... really happy for her in just how easy she makes it look.” It was the first dunk in a WNBA All-Star Game since Sylvia Fowles in 2022.

NBA-style replay center next season
move in league’s focus on officiating to help ‘quality of the game.’
By Doug Feinberg
CHICAGO — The WNBA will have a replay center sim- ilar to that of the NBA next season as the league contin- ues to invest in officiating, commissioner Cathy Engel- bert announced at her state of the league news confer- ence Saturday before the All-Star Game. Officiating has been a hot topic around the league for the last few seasons, with physical play being a major point of contention. The league put together a task force in the offseason to help clean up some of the phys- icality in the game. “This is one of the most significant investments we’ve ever made in our basketball operations, this investments of tens of mil- lions of dollars will help bring greater consistency, efficiency, and transparency to our officiating process while continuing to improve the quality of the game,” Engelbert said. Engelbert said that a lot of the details on the replay center still need to be worked out, although she said, as of now, the last two- minute report that the NBA has won’t be used in the WNBA yet. Fouls have increased this season because of an em- phasis on helping players’ freedom of movement. The rise in fouls has led to more offense as teams are averag- ing a record-high number of points. It has also led to long- er games. Earlier this month, league game times were at an average of 2 hours, 8 minutes — the long- est in league history.
Player safety Engelbert said the league is continuing to work with players to try and improve their safety off the court. The league and players’ union had a virtual meeting Tues- day night to discuss what more can be done to combat the online hate. “[For] too many players across the WNBA, that ex- perience is unacceptable,” she said. “It’s disgusting. Racism, misogyny, homo- phobia, the harassment and threats directed to our play- ers has no place in sport or anywhere else.”
Aces investigation The WNBA’s investiga- tion into whether a Las Vegas Aces sponsorship deal violated the salary cap was inconclusive, Engelbert said. “No discipline will be rec- ommended or imposed. Of course, if new or additional evidence comes to light, we’ll
time Honda Cup winner at UCLA and a Volts pitcher in the AUSL, “but at the end of the day, Lisa Fernandez, Kelly Inouye-Perez, Kirk Walker, that would be who I’d want to play for every sin- gle day, because I know that they are able to give the girls what they need in order to perform at the best that they can be.” While Inouye-Perez con- tinues to steer the Bruin ship, Walker and Fernandez serve in general manager roles for the Sparks and Tal- ons, respectively. Grant emphasized that all three coaches could easily walk away because of the im- print they left and the re- sume they built. Yet, Inouye- Perez and Fernandez not only chose to stick around the game, but to reinvest their time in furthering the league and sport altogether. “I accept the responsibil- ity to help carry the torch and move it forward, and hand it off to the Jennie Finches and the Cat Oster- mans,” Fernandez said. “They’re going to hand it off to the next generation that are going to continue to build this game and hope- fully it’ll become something where little girls can go, ‘I’m going to be a professional softball player, and be a role model for those who have the opportunity to watch me.’ And at the end of the
continue to investigate,” the commissioner said. The Las Vegas Conven- tion and Visitors Authority offered in May 2024 a $100,000 sponsorship agree- ment to Aces players for each of the following two sea- sons. That amount ex- ceeded the salaries for six of the players, according to Spotrac. No such agreement was offered for this season, but player salaries also dramati- cally rose after the new col- lective bargaining agree- ment was completed in May. Each Aces player earns at least $270,000, according to Spotrac. The initial offer prompted the league to launch a probe into whether it skirted salary-cap rules. “We did this the right way,” Steve Hill, president and chief executive of Las Vegas Convention and Visi- tors Authority, said at the time. “We did something that we think works for Las Vegas and I think great for the players. We did this with- out the team. It was our idea and any questions they ask they’ll find that out.”
Need more dialogue Engelbert said the league needs to better communi- cate with its players. One of the chief complaints from players has been that they have no relationship with the commissioner. A’ja Wil- son said before the game that the only time she talks to Engelbert is when she’s receiving trophies. “I’ve been talking with the players about how much they want to hear from us, how much they don’t,” Engelbert said. “We do send them a lot of email updates and things like that. They’re a generation that doesn’t check email as much. So we have to get better at a text chain. ... There’s no doubt I need to be better.”
Engelbert’s future Engelbert sidestepped a question about if she planned to be the commis- sioner next season. “I’m so blessed to have to be at the helm of this league during this incredible hyper- growth period,” she said. “I will just continue to, you know, do my job, execute the strategy because it has been working.”
Positive metrics Engelbert said that this is already the most-watched WNBA season of all time, with the 117 broadcasts reaching over 73 million unique viewers. Twenty- nine of the games averaged over one million viewers — the most ever at the All-Star break. There have been more than 2.2 million fans at games so far this year, which is up 16% from last season.

day, that’s the true value.” Integral to pushing the game forward is taking ad- vantage of the traction and momentum gained by the 2028 Summer Olympics, where softball will return to the stage for the first time since 2021. Fernandez highlighted that when softball was add- ed to the Olympics in 1996, it was the pinnacle of the sport. But when it was re- moved following 2008 be- cause the IOC didn’t see enough global competition for the gold medal, she felt that she failed. It was a set- back that inspired her push to get the sport to a place where it did not have to rely on the host country to in- clude it among Olympic events. “A mission that’s close to my heart is the growth of the sport globally because it is so important for it to be in the Olympics, not just in 2028 but in 2032,” said Tal- ons pitcher Megan Faraimo, who competed at UCLA from 2019 to 2023. “I don’t want to be the last genera- tion to make it into the Olympics. I want to protect the future of everyone com- ing after me, and that means capitalizing on it being in L.A. “We can use that to then push the sport into 2032 and hopefully get back on that Olympic rhythm.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Mike Trout had his first four-hit game in more than five years, Jorge Soler and Jo Adell homered and the Angels beat the San Fran- cisco Giants 4-3 on Sunday to break a three-game skid and avoid a series sweep. Angels starter José Soriano (9-6) yielded an un- earned run in five innings. The 27-year-old right- hander gave up three hits, walked three and had five strikeouts. Mitch Farris got the final two outs for his first career save. San Francisco, which had its four-game home win streak end, is the only team in MLB without a series sweep of three-plus games this season. Trout’s first four-hit
a smooth road trip for Dodgers

“It’s great,” manager Dave Roberts said Saturday night. “It seems like we’ve been on the road a long time, but the travel has been nice as far as staying in this time zone. We’re finding ways to win. So that’s the main thing. That’s the object of the game.” The Dodgers’ All-Stars, along with Roberts and his coaching staff, left for Philadelphia two weeks ago. The rest of the team met them in New York for three games against the Yankees. Then they traveled to Philadelphia for a three- game set, took a detour to Washington to visit the White House before return- ing to New York. “It’s been a long road trip — especially for the guys who went to Philly for the All-Star Game,” right fielder Kyle Tucker said. “Being able to come out of the break and play some really good teams and put together really competitive at-bats and great innings from our pitching staff is huge. Some of the guys are kind of grind- ing in terms of how long they’ve been away from L.A. It’s kind of part of it. You’ve got to come out and play re- gardless and they’ve done a great job of that.” Even so, the Dodgers (67- 39) played cleaner baseball on this extended road trip — a couple baserunning mis- takes aside — than they did in the homestand before the break. Maybe the Dodgers just needed time off to reset. “I thought we played

Carlos Beltrán credits his father with instill- ing his work ethic by winning “perfect attendance” certifi- cates every year for 35 years at his company. Carmen Bel- trán was a homemaker, and Carlos credits her with rais- ing him. Long before Bad Bunny became one of the most popular artists in the world, Beltrán devoted his work off the field to helping Puerto Rican youths and promot- ing his island. “I feel proud of what he does,” Beltrán said of Bad Bunny. “I think he repre- sents our island. He’s part of our culture, and at the same time he’s doing a pretty good job promoting the island. As abaseball player myself, I try to do the best that I could also to do the same.”

really good baseball all road trip,” Freddie Freeman said. “I am looking forward to go- ing home.” Against the Mets (44-62) on Sunday, the first couple innings didn’t look promis- ing. After Shohei Ohtani led with a double and Max Muncy drew a two-out walk, both were left stranded. The Mets took the lead in the first when Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan gave up a leadoff double to A.J. Ewing before Francisco Lindor sent a low changeup into shallow right field for an RBI single. The Dodgers’ three-up, three-down second inning ended when Teoscar Hernández tried to stretch a single into a double and ran into an out. Then, Sheehan hit Tyrone Taylor with a pitch to start the bottom half of the inning. Sheehan retired the next three batters as the Dodgers started to take control. They pulled into the lead with a two-run third inning, pow- ered by doubles from Eliezer Alfonzo — his second double in as many appearances — and Freeman. The Dodgers manufac- tured another run the next inning with a pair of singles, an error by Mets first base- man Jared Young, and a run- scoring groundout. Sheehan gave up one run and three hits, striking out five over five innings. As the Dodgers’ bullpen took over in the sixth, how- ever, the game slipped away. Jack Dreyer walked two bat- ters and recorded just one out in the sixth inning before

He made me a bet. He knew that if I were to earn a college scholarship, he would buy me a pickup truck. “My dad was a simple guy, a police officer in South- ern California, and that was all we could afford in my fam- ily at that time. That truck meant everything to me. I quit racing and focused on school and baseball, and won that baseball schol- arship, because I got that truck. That truck is still with me. It sits in my garage as a simple reminder that some of the simplest things can change the entire direction of your life.” With that commitment to baseball and education while he was a student at Huntington Beach’s Edison High, Kent secured a schol- arship to California. Kent, who spent the final four seasons of his 17-year ca- reer with the Dodgers, quoted the late Tommy La- sorda in his speech. “The money lies in the RBIs,” Kent said while at- tributing that quote to La-

In a 1-1 count, Phillips threw a sinker on the inside edge of the strike zone, and Taylor lifted it into the left- field stands for a go-ahead three-run homer. Phillips, who last week talked about rewiring his rehab mindset, has already surrendered four home runs in just seven

outings. “I think some of it was probably just me really trusting him,” Roberts said. “And I really do trust him. But there’s some work, some rust that needs to be kind of dusted off. So I think right now I’m going to kind of give him different looks and get his feet kind of under him and get some traction.”
explained, “our manager made us sit around home plate. … He made us sit in the dirt at home plate, and on the loudspeaker he played a motivational tape of Tommy Lasorda. “And in that speech, 20 minutes in that motiva- tional talk, I got out of that, ‘The money lies in the RBIs.’ That stuck in my brain forev- er, and it never, never left my brain.”

Trout’s double was his 340th, moving past Salmon for second on the franchise all-time list behind Garret Anderson’s 489. Trout also is now fourth on the Angels’ all-time list with 1,014 singles, trailing Anderson (1,572), Darin Erstad (1,082) and Brian Downing (1,062). Trout’s four-hit game was the 21st of his career and raised his average to .247. Soler hit a leadoff homer, Nolan Schanuel walked and Adell’s 446-foot home run gave the Angels a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning. Luis Arraez had an RBI groundout in the fifth and added a two-run double in the ninth for the Giants. Drew Cavanaugh went two for two and walked twice.

games for the first time as a Dodger and flashes All-Star form again versus the Mets.
By Maddie Lee
NEW YORK — The ball jumped off Kyle Tucker’s bat for a high-fly- ing home run into the right-field stands at Citi Field. Tucker had been patient, watching the first four pitches of the at-bat against Nolan McLean, a pair of balls, and a pair of strikes low and in. Then, when McLean missed with a center-cut fastball, Tucker got all of it. With his first swing in a game the Dodgers would win 4-3 on Sat- urday, Tucker gave his team the early lead. And for the first time as a Dodger, he homered in consecu- tive games. “I feel a lot better,” Tucker said after the game, as fellow outfielder Teoscar Hernández shouted from the other side of the clubhouse, ac- knowledging his homers. “Need more of that. Seeing the ball de- cently, putting better swings on it. Just need to compound that into more swings, more at-bats. See how [Sunday] goes and just keep with it.” It’s too early to say if this is the Tucker breakout the Dodgers have been waiting for. Nearly two-thirds of the way through the season, he has yet to hit like he has for most of his career. “It’s coming,” manager Dave Roberts said Friday. “It hasn’t been as consistent or as fast as we’d like, but he’s still going through it. He’s still working hard.” Tucker’s home run kicked off a three-run third inning for the Dod- gers (67-38). They scored the other two with the help of a throwing er- ror and passed ball from the Mets (43-62), while the Dodgers kept the pressure on with a barrage of balls in play. That was enough to all but de- cide the game, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. The right-hander held the Mets to just one run, coming off a single from Bo Bichette, over six innings. Though Yamamoto gave up five hits (all singles) and issued three walks, he navigated the traffic with poise.

DODGERS slugger Kyle Tucker reacts to his third-inning homer in Saturday’s 4-3 victory.
Tucker came close to hitting a second homer, sending a fastball to left field in the fourth inning. But Mets left fielder A.J. Ewing caught the ball just before the wall. The Dodgers’ final run instead came off a single from Andy Pages in the fifth. The Mets struck back in the eighth. Edgardo Henriquez hit a batter and walked another to open the inning. And both runners scored when closer Tanner Scott replaced Henriquez with two outs and gave up a double to Mets pinch-hitter Tyrone Taylor. But Scott got out of the inning without giving up the lead, and Brock Stewart recorded the save, his first of the year. Tucker’s home run was his ninth of the season. Last year with the Cubs, he racked up that many by May 3. “There’s some times where I like to see the ball coming in, put a

That happens at times, but it’s seemed to happen a lot more this year. I’ve just got to battle for the next pitch and just continue on with the at-bat.” Tucker, who has traditionally hung his hat on his strike-zone con- trol, ended a 12-game streak with- out a walk Friday. “It was a little weird, because I hadn’t walked in a while,” Tucker said. “So I honestly didn’t know what to do for a sec. “But I mean, anything to get on base, whether it’s a single, homer, walk, whatever it is, just try to keep going with it.” He drew another walk Saturday in the sixth. “I’ve, at times, thought I found something, or trying to turn the

page, and it just kind of goes away and it’s back to square one,” Tucker said. “That’s where you’ve just kind of got to keep working, keep grinding and keep moving for- ward.” Against the Mets, Tucker has looked more like the player the Dodgers expected when they signed him to a four-year, $240-mil- lion contract, with the power and plate discipline that earned him four straight All-Star nods before this year. If he can recapture that identity down the stretch and into the post- season, his slow start will fade in the memories of Dodgers fans. “Everyone in here is supportive, from the players to the coaching staff, everyone,” Tucker said. “At the same point, you’ve got to be confident in yourself. So I just try to go up there every single at-bat and not think about previous ones. Just go up there and try to compete.”

Brissett agrees to new one-year deal with the Cardinals
wire reports
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals agreed to a re- worked one-year deal on Sunday and coach Mike LaFleur confirmed that the veteran is the team’s likely starter for Week 1. Brissett, 33, was unhappy with his previous contract, which included just $1.5 mil- lion of guaranteed money for the upcoming season. His new deal is worth a reported $15.5 million. Brissett was the team’s starter for the final 12 games last year after Kyler Murray suffered a season-ending foot injury. He did well indi- vidually with 3,366 yards passing, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions, but the Cardinals had a 1-11 record in those games. LaFleur confirmed that Brissett’s deal was done be- fore Sunday’s practice and said that the veteran would begin working with the starters soon. The team’s other main options at quarterback are veteran Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck.
Aiyuk stuck in limbo with 49ers Disgruntled receiver Brandon Aiyuk remains in limbo as the San Francisco 49ers opened training camp Saturday with Aiyuk still under contract to the team and unable to sign with an- other franchise. General manager John Lynch declined to answer any questions Saturday about Aiyuk’s status as the former star receiver remains on the reserve/left squad list that he was placed on late last season. “Brandon is on a ‘left squad’ designation. As such, he’s not on our 90-man ros- ter,” Lynch said. “I’m, per- sonally, and we as an organi- zation, are going to focus on the players that are here. And so, I don’t have any- thing to say on that, any- thing to add to that. We wish him well. We wish his family well.” Aiyuk has had an off- season of social media out- bursts and has expressed a desire to play with his former college quarterback, Jayden Daniels, on the Washington Commanders. Though Lynch has previ- ously said he doesn’t expect Aiyuk to play for the 49ers again, the team is under no pressure to make a change to his status until he applies

Scenes of players screaming and shouting with excitement on the official opening day for 11-man high school football practices on Monday might be hard to find. That’s be- cause the sport has changed to year-round activities, with players having done conditioning, lifted weights and learned plays for weeks this spring and summer. Opening day has become no different than what was happening on Friday for many programs.
to the league to be reinstat- ed. San Francisco had placed Aiyuk on the reserve/ left squad list late last sea- son after previously voiding $27 million guaranteed in his contract for 2026 for failing to participate in meetings and other team activities. Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120-million extension just before the start of the 2024 season after a lengthy con- tract hold-in that kept him out of training camp. He was coming off a 2023 season in which he had 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touch- downs and was a second- team All-Pro. Aiyuk had only 25 catches for 374 yards in sev- en games in 2024 before get- ting injured. The 28-year-old has 294 catches for 4,305 yards and 25 touchdowns since being drafted in the first round in 2020.
Bosa cleared to practice
49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa has been cleared to start training camp after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament last September, while tight end George Kit- tle and three other 49ers players will begin camp on the physically unable to per- form list (PUP). Lynch said Bosa spent most of the offseason doing rehab at the team facility rather than going back home to Florida and will ease his way back into prac- tice during camp. Lynch said Kittle is mak- ing good progress after tear- ing his Achilles tendon dur- ing a playoff win at Philadel- phia last January. The team hasn’t ruled out the possibil- ity that he could be back in time for the season opener in Australia against the Rams on Sept. 11.
Seahawks put key players on PUP list
Seattle Seahawks run- ning back Zach Charbonnet was placed on the PUP list before camp after tearing his ACL in the divisional game against the 49ers. The Seahawks also placed standout safety Nick Emmanwori on the PUP list after he recently had ankle surgery, but there’s expecta- tion he will be ready for their Wednesday night opener on Sept. 9 in a rematch with the New England Patriots. He suffered a low sprain four days before the Super Bowl, but he played through the injury.
“We already installed everything all spring and summer,” Carson coach William Lowe said. “It’s lost some of those days of nos- talgia.” The first day used to be so chaotic and humorous in the old days, with players not knowing how to put on helmets, let alone figuring out shoulder pads and struggling in line drills. Now everything has been done in advance. Yes, some newcomers might drop by who weren’t aware of practices, but for the most part, Monday is about continuing prepara- tion for a season that begins Aug. 20-22. “The most exciting thing is you get to put helmets on,” said first-year Whittier coach Lorenzo Hernandez, who used to coach at

Bryce Young and the de- fending NFC South champi- on Carolina Panthers re- ported Wednesday. So did the Arizona Cardinals, led by rookie coach Mike LaFleur. The teams will meet in the Hall of Fame Game that kicks off the preseason on Aug. 6. The reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patri- ots opened camp on Friday. They’ll face off in a Super Bowl rematch that opens the regular season Sept. 9. Many teams have plenty of questions to answer be- fore Week 1. It’s a long road to SoFi Stadium, which will host Su- per Bowl LXI on Feb. 14. — Valentine’s Day will be the latest date the game has been played. That just means more football. Ten teams have new coaches. Some have new quarterbacks. A few superstars have changed teams.

If I see one more person saying that the only way to truly experience Christo- pher Nolan’s vision of “The Odyssey” is to see it in Imax 70mm, I am going to start turning cinephiles into swine. Iunderstand that this is a technically true statement. As we all know by now, Nolan went on his own hero’s jour- ney with this film, using an unwieldy and extremely loud Imax camera to shoot it (a feat only he and perhaps a few other directors would be given the finances to do). Like many, I applaud his ef- forts and those that were made to increase the num- ber of theaters capable of projecting Imax 70mm (and 70mm in general).

Jimmy Eat World is doing its 25th anniversary of “Bleed American” at the fest this year. What does it mean to you to have some of those early Warped Tour bands like that on the bill again? It felt good to have a lot of those bands. For me, one of the more emotional ones last year was Rise Against. They had such a big moment. They were such a part of Warped Tour, and you get them to come back and then watch that crowd, every phone went up in the crowd, and probably 50% of the people there had never seen them before.
You’ve always had your own way of doing things that created the culture of Warped Tour. Why do you feel it is still so vital in the festival ecosystem today?

female serial killer with a knotty history in a new Hulu series.
“Furious,” which pre- mieres Monday on Hulu, is technically a serial killer story, since there are multi- ple murders committed by a single character, but happily that is the least of it. Broadly speaking, these kinds of stories — powered by a stop-them-before-they- kill-again clock, making their antagonists out to be finicky geniuses or horror movie monsters instead of opportunistic mediocrities — strike me as a low form of fiction. But “Furious” is as much relationship drama as procedural, animated by a quartet of excellent per- formances, with some things to say about abuse, exploita- tion and love along the way. Although “Furious,” cre- ated by Elizabeth Meri- wether (“New Girl,” “Dying for Sex”), acknowledges an inspirational debt to the 1987 Theresa Russell-Debra Winger film “Black Widow,” all it really preserves are a couple of names, the idea of a female serial killer and an emotional relationship with the woman hunting her. The killer is Catherine (Lola Pet- ticrew), a petite young wom- an who goes about in a vari- ety of wigs, under a variety of names, careful to mask in public. Her murdering is not a compulsion but a mission, like Jeanne Moreau in “The Bride Wore Black.” Her nemesis is Alice

‘Hadestown: The Musical’
Review KATIE WALSH A fiery mythical musical
lost its power to sweep audiences away in a filmed staging.
Singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell first wrote the num- bers for “Hadestown,” a folk musical based on Greek my- thology, in 2006. Twenty years later, the Tony-win- ning smash musical comes to the big screen in a version filmed on the West End in 2025, directed by Brett Sulli- van. The production re- unites the original Broad- way cast — André De Shields, Patrick Page, Reeve Carney, Eva Noblezada and Amber Gray — six years af- ter the show debuted and swept the Tonys in 2019. There is a timelessness to Mitchell’s work, thanks in large part to the ancient source material, the myths of Orpheus, Eurydice, Ha- des and Persephone. Devel- oped in partnership with Rachel Chavkin, who di- rected the Broadway show, the action is set around the 1930s in the American Deep South. The story expresses evergreen themes of love, sacrifice, oppression, addic- tion and devotion, juxtapos- ing the tragedy of the way things are against a hope of the way they could be. There are moments when Mitchell’s songs feel eerily prescient: The show’s villain, Hades (Page), rules the underworld of Hadestown as a fascistic industrialist; his Act I closing number is ti- tled “Why We Build the Wall.” Factory workers sing back to him, “We build the wall to keep us free,” a cho- rus that foretells the Trumpian rhetoric of 2016 and a reminder that these

Luis Valdez gets an explosively engaging documentary profile.
There are many dedi- cated figures devoted to Chi- cano empowerment in America. But in the arts, playwright-director-impre- sario Luis Valdez — the mi- grant farmworkers’ son be- hind the defiantly con- sciousness-raising El Teatro Campesino and the historic hits “Zoot Suit” and “La Bamba” — holds a singular place, achieved with remark- able perseverance. It’s a trajectory that the immensely appealing, rol- licking documentary “American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez” tracks with a vitality and purpose befitting its subject. Anchored by Valdez him- self, now in his 80s and filling the camera frame like a grandfatherly lion, the film supplements his vivid bio- graphical details with rich archival footage and testi- monials from family mem- bers, collaborators and peers. There’s also the bold but sneakily effective narra- tor choice in Edward James Olmos, reviving his snarling, star-making El Pachuco growl from “Zoot Suit” to re- mind us of one of Valdez’s es- sential contributions to the theatrical canon. (Olmos is also an interviewee, as is Cheech Marin, Taylor Hack- ford, Lou Diamond Phillips

patterns of division and oth- erization are the eternal tools of the oppressor. “Hadestown” is a love story first and foremost, set in a joyous juke joint, the band ringing the stage. The camera follows our narrator, Hermes, played by Ameri- can theater legend De Shields, as he takes the stage, kissing the heads of his company. But the show doesn’t start until the 79-year-old De Shields nattily flips his jacket open, to the approv- ing roar of the audience. He introduces doomed Or- pheus (Carney), “touched by the Gods themselves,” a born yearner with a gift for song. When Eurydice (No- blezada), a scrappy, skepti- cal slip of a girl, rolls into town, Orpheus instantly falls head over heels. They have nothing except each other, their love symbolized by a red flower that Orpheus offers. Party girl Persephone (Gray) brings the summer fun, but her jealous lover Ha- des wants to keep her all to himself in his domain, trap- ping the world in a long win- ter. Orpheus promises to write a song to summon spring again, but a strug- gling Eurydice is seduced by Hades’ promises of security in Hadestown, and she de- scends with him, signing her life away to work in his fac- tory.

his love, but his faith in her is tested on their return to the top — if he turns back to see if she’s there, she’ll be ban- ished to Hadestown forever. Real-life couple Carney and Noblezada married sev- eral months after this pro- duction; they met at No- blezada’s audition. Their chemistry makes the emo- tional devastation of this tragedy that much more real: Every main actor sheds a real tear over the course of the show. Carney’s unique tenor ranges from Jeff Buck- ley to Freddie Mercury; his rock background and skill with the guitar is required for Orpheus’ lyre-playing and lends to the folk roots of Mitchell’s songs. Cinematographer Clay- ton Jacobsen captures unex- pected camera angles that a theatergoer wouldn’t get (even one with decent seats), both from down be- low in the circular pit and above it. He sends the cam- era soaring over the heads of the audience into intimate medium shots. Sullivan makes the animated and often rowdy crowd an inte- gral part of the cinematic ex- perience, including an ex- tended curtain call with De Shields toasting the audi- ence, sending them out with the warmth with which he brought them in. There is such a temporal quality to theater, a shared moment in time and space. This production feels like a fleeting moment — a re- union of friends and collabo- rators retelling a myth that is recounted over and over again. “It’s a sad song, but we sing it anyway,” Hermes re- minds us, and it’s a senti- ment worth repeating. There may be tragedy, but the summer will inevitably return.
only necessary but a recruit- ment tool for the fight. We hear the underdog aesthetic term “rasquachismo” used to describe these early im- promptu performances: es- sentially a colorful funki- ness, “so funky that nothing can undermine you,” Valdez says. As if something earthi- er and stronger had been harvested in the fields with all those valuable grapes.
‘Sheep in the Box’ is a rare misfire from Hirokazu Kore-eda.
‘Sheep in the Box’
Celebrated Japanese writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda specializes in gen- tle, sentimental films about the tiny fissures that form along the foundation of fam- ilies. When he’s at his best, such as with 2018’s Oscar- nominated “Shoplifters,” his stories unspool with measured ease, their lifelike flow building slowly into something larger and more profound about the bonds that connect us — and sometimes tear us apart. But when Kore-eda’s exe- cution isn’t as assured, as is the case with his latest, all that delicacy simply floats off into the ether, rarely amounting to much more than a halfhearted shrug. “Sheep in the Box” couldn’t be timelier in its speculative sci-fi depiction of an anxious age in which AI increasingly permeates our lives, even giving grieving parents their dead children back to them, in a fashion. But after a fa- miliar setup, the movie stub- bornly refuses to go in com- pelling new directions or of- fer fresh observations. The film may be set in the future, but Kore-eda’s ideas feel outdated. Haruka Ayase, who starred in Kore-eda’s 2015 sibling drama “Our Little Sister,” plays Otone, an architect still devastated by the loss of her young son Kakeru two years ago. She receives a strange invitation in the mail from REbirth, a company that claims to cre- ate humanoid replicas of de- ceased loved ones. Her hus- band, Kensuke (Daigo Ya- mamoto), expresses reser-
DAIGO Yamamoto, left, Rimu Kuwaki and Haruka Ayase as a couple and android.
After the labor battles of the Vietnam War era, Valdez took El Teatro Campesino’s mission nationwide. Ex- cerpts from a televised adaptation of his play “Los Vendidos (The Sellouts)” — about a shop selling automatons representing Chicano stereotypes — underscore the continuing tensions of assimilation, a trap disguised as accept-
vations about the service — “They’re hyenas cashing in on misfortune,” he insists — but Otone is resolute. In short order, an android that looks exactly like Kakeru (newcomer Rimu Kuwaki) arrives at their front door. Films ranging from “Pi- nocchio” to “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” have touched on the dangers of trying to simulate life, while the more recent “M3GAN” and “Companion” satirized AI’s insidious skill at making it difficult to determine what’s real and what’s not. But even if “Sheep in the Box” overlaps with these memo- rable movies, this story would seem an ideal oppor- tunity for Kore-eda to revisit a favorite subject: how loss can linger. Plus, his new movie harks back to “Air Doll,” his provocative 2009 film about a sex doll that de- velops consciousness. Yet his latest fails to magically transcend its de- ceptively simple premise. Part of the problem is a lack of layered characters. At first, Otone and Kensuke disagree about whether to bring this new Kakeru into their home. (At a sappy RE- birth video presentation ex- tolling the company’s oh-so- noble mission, he rolls his eyes, while she’s in tears.) But that conflict quickly fiz- zles as both parents become acquainted with this robot,

ance. But the piece also re- flected feelings Valdez had about his long-estranged brother Frank, an engineer whose alienating efforts to deny his own background and fit in formed a heavy undercurrent in Valdez’s life. “Zoot Suit,” an ambi- tious, musicalized, slang-fla- vored staging of the violent injustice behind L.A.’s noto- rious 1943 Zoot Suit riots, be-
whose memories only ex- tend to the information the couple provided. Because Kakeru’s death is shrouded in some degree of mystery — Otone and Kensuke ob- liquely refer to it as “the acci- dent” — “Sheep in the Box” eventually becomes the fa- ther’s attempt to get an- swers as a means of alleviat- ing his gnawing guilt. Unfortunately, the underwhelming revelations don’t elicit the tears Kore- eda regularly wrings. That muted response is in keep- ing with the film’s blasé atti- tude toward our tech-heavy world. A tranquil opening shot consists of a beautiful seaside view that’s quickly invaded by buzzing drones carrying packages. The RE- birth offices are sleek but drab. There’s no wonder or dread in this future — just the resigned acceptance that nothing is remarkable, despite all the nifty gadgets everyone has. And unlike cinema’s previous AI crea- tions, Kakeru has no driving curiosity concerning whether he has a soul. When life has lost its spark, who cares if it’s “real” or not? Composer Yuta Ban- doh’s lovely score hints at Otone and Kensuke’s pent- up sorrow, even after Kakeru is returned to them. But because Kore-eda’s sub- par script is short on emo- tional depth, the director leans on Bandoh to sell a poignancy the audience isn’t feeling. Kore-eda’s films frequently focus on in- dividuals who aren’t as happy as they thought they’d be. “Sheep in the Box” suggests that, not long from now, these psychic wounds may be poked anew. But the movie doesn’t closely enough resemble the heart- and-soul complexity of life itself, falling into an un- canny valley in which the drama is decidedly artificial.

came a smash in 1978 (its narrow-minded New York reception notwithstanding). The story of how the Ritchie Valens biopic “La Bamba” came to be — a delicate mix of legacy tending and savvy casting — is similarly rous- ing and illuminating, even if it seems like an omission not to dig into why, after such a big hit, more movies didn’t follow. (Although, since this is Hollywood, we can guess the reasons.) There’s so much to chew on in David Alvarado’s por- trait of life, art and activism that “American Pachuco” plays like a joyful challenge to those searching for their own voice or meaning. As en- gaging a chronicler of his own life as Valdez is, his lessons in how to be seen and heard — and how to stay that way — feel especially timely. In our demonizing present, the story of such a pioneering truth-teller speaks powerfully to the needs of our blended Ameri- can future.

This brings her to the desk of Nora Washington (Quincy Tyler Bernstine), who also happens to be running the very FBI department Alice has been hoping to join. “You requested my squad,” says Nora. “Why do you want to work in the basement on sex crimes and crimes against children — do you hate your- self?” Maybe she does — she orchestrates internet dates where foreplay is a fistfight, and has some relevant trauma in her past.

There is an undisputed cultural magnificence to re- imagining a nearly 3,000- year-old tale in the most ar- tistically immersive format currently available to film- makers. Unfortunately, the vast majority of filmgoers will never be able to see this master vision; only 25 thea- ters in the country are capa- ble of showing the film in Imax 70mm — eight in Cali- fornia (including four in the L.A. area); two in Colorado, New York, Texas and Ten- nessee; and one in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, In- diana, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Rhode Is- land. So a little more than twice the number of U.S. World Cup venues this year. But then, you could watch the World Cup on TV. Not that you’ll be able to watch “The Odyssey” on TV anytime soon. As a rigorous defender of the theatrical ex- perience, Nolan requires that his films stay in cinemas and off streamers for much longer than the average movie — “The Odyssey” will likely not be available on NBCUniversal’s Peacock un- til early 2027.

“The Odyssey” already more than recouped its $250-mil- lion production budget. It will need to make $625 mil- lion to $750 million to break even, which seems more than doable. “The Odyssey” could well become the third- ever R-rated movie to gross $1 billion. Film snobbery notwith- standing, however, much of that will be accomplished via non-Imax 70mm screenings, which come in a near-Ho- meric list of types. On top of reacquainting the populace with a story that most of us have not thought much about since that middle- school project or college classics class, “The Odyssey” is offering a lesson in “premium formats.” On the film’s website, one can view the trailer in Imax 70mm, regular Imax, regular 70mm, Dolby Vision and large format. Given the lim- itation of personal screens, this only reveals the varying frame dimensions, but it’s pretty fun to flick through them. What is less fun is trying to figure out on which, and where and when, you can ac- tually see the damn thing.

Including but not limited to the recent crash of the AMC app. I may or may not have contributed to this crisis, having recently spent well over an hour trying to get a measly two tickets. Though it went against all my anti-elitist beliefs, I did try to leverage my L.A. privilege and see “The Odyssey” as Christopher Nolan intended — in Imax 70mm. Alas, the only seats available for days, even in standard Imax and 70mm, were in the first row. I was forced to “downgrade” to Dolby Vision at the Burbank 16, where, by the grace of Athena, I found two non- front-row seats, albeit in the middle of a weekday. (Merci- fully, this actually counts as work for me.) I am not equipped to ar- gue saturation levels or whatever else differentiates one format from the other, but the Dolby experience was quite immersive, both in cinematic detail (The storms! The slaughter! The suitors’ slopping wine!) and cardiac-disruptive bass notes. Certainly, I felt a bit like Odysseus as I crept — drained, disoriented and trailing popcorn crumbs like
tle of the protagonist in her antagonist. There are some sad ironies stitched into the plot, and an upsetting late twist, though the show doesn’t wallow in it. We understand that Catherine has her rea- sons, and in a strange way we want to see her carry out her mission. She may be a killer, but she isn’t the vil- lain. It’s not perfect. We are not surprised at least as much as we are. Some of the plot points strain credulity. There are some old-school jurisdictional clashes be-
Ithican sand — out into the sun. It was an experience like no other (seriously, to sur- vive Imax 70mm, I might have to go into training). So I am a bit bewildered as pundits declare that the success of “The Odyssey” re- flects some larger theme about what film audiences want. Beyond, you know, a very powerful movie. This is one of the most singular films made in re- cent years. So singular that it all but defies any kind of tea-leaf-reading or, heaven forbid, attempts at repli- cation. I don’t see a future in Homeric spinoffs (unless someone wants to do a lim- ited series on Circe, starring Samantha Morton), and while it is vital to celebrate the craft of Imax 70mm film- making and projection, the theatrical experience can- not afford to put all, or even many, of its eggs into that basket. An increased reliance on “premium formats” may seem like an obvious weapon in the increasingly one-sided war between at-home and theatrical viewing, but it is not the answer. Or at least not the only answer. (For one thing, there aren’t enough Imax 70mm cam- eras or projectors to go around.) Like sports fans, many
tween the police and the FBI (as in every fourth episode of “The Closer”), and a heap- ing helping of professional jealousy within depart- ments. But the show stays fasci- nating less for the plot than for the performers. Rossum attacks her role as if playing a Greek tragedy. (The hair redoubles the impression.) McNairy, one of TV’s most likable actors, brings warmth. Petticrew evokes broken innocence. Berns- tine finds new notes in a role that typically runs to cliche. I also want to mention
cinephiles are happy to spend hours, and dollars, to have the ultimate experience — tales of folks driving across state lines and/or pay- ing thousands to see “The Odyssey” in Imax 70mm ech- oed the recent stories of in- ternational visitors saving up for a year to see their team play in the World Cup. Though marvelously af- firming for film fans, this is not a sustainable business plan. Movies are supposed to be for everyone. Not just those with a neighborhood Imax 70mm theater or the ability to pay $30 for a regular Imax seat. Going to the mov- ies should not require hours of research to choose a thea- ter, negotiating with a scalp- er or finding AI-aided plots to game the system. And there shouldn’t be such an obvious and geographically rigged hierarchy. Before you know it, Live Nation will be involved and then where will we be? “The Odyssey” is a legiti- mate phenomenon and that’s terrific; more power to Nolan and the theaters that benefit. As a solution to flag- ging box office, well, if Holly- wood does not want to go the way of — as Timothée Chala- met famously said — ballet and opera, it cannot afford to become dependent on pre- mium experiences that are

the great Hope Davis as the sister of a victim, the son of a well-connected mogul with something to hide, and espe- cially Steve Way, as Alden (“Ramy”), a force for good in Catherine’s life, and for hu- mor in the series; born with spinal muscular atrophy, he manages some excellent physical comedy in his mo- torized wheelchair. The direction (Brian Kirk helmed the first two epi- sodes) is crisp and matter of fact, staying out of the way, which is all you can ask when the writing is good and the actors are too.
accessible only to a small percentage of the audience. Of course it’s great that “The Odyssey” was shot, and is being shown, in Imax 70mm and regular 70mm, es- pecially in a year when sto- ries that originated on YouTube are also burning up the big screen. Art should never be an equation of re- placement. Supporting all manner of work is always the best way of preserving and celebrating the splendid di- versity of filmmaking. No matter how unparal- leled the form, it still must follow function. “The Odyssey,” in whatever for- mat it is seen, is an epic ad- venture with emotional undertones beyond the orig- inal story and an existential message that resonates far more than its smattering of modern language. Nolan’s non-CGI visions of the Tro- jan Horse, the Cyclops, the sacking of Troy, the transfor- mation of men into pigs do not require an “ultimate” as- pect ratio to be remarkable. All the various formats have their proponents and the conversations about them have been entertaining and informative, but no mat- ter the film or screen size, it’s a very good movie. And that’s the only tem- plate Hollywood needs to fol- low.

HOROSCOPE
By Holiday Mathis
Aries (March 21-April 19): Accountability is the recur- ring theme in this retro- grade cycle of Saturn. By the end of this cycle, you’ll have earned a new skill. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Saturn asks you to think like an investor instead of a shopper. The best invest- ments make your future days easier. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Retrograde Saturn reminds you that discipline is a gift to the person you’ll be four months from now. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Fix what you have before taking on something new. Revision before expansion is a good rule of thumb for this retrograde. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The Saturn retrograde is a chance to reflect on where you’ve been before you de- cide where to go next. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

One secret to keeping prom- ises is not to make very many. Before you say yes, picture what that commit- ment looks like.

One of my club’s older players says he learns some- thing new every day — but forgets at least five things. As declarer, you may need information to guide your play, perhaps to locate a missing honor. A proactive effort to place the cards in one suit by attacking anoth- er is a “discovery play.” Against six hearts, West leads a high diamond; dum- my’s queen wins. South can succeed if a finesse wins in trumps or clubs, but to get information, he leads the king of spades at Trick Two. East’s ace covers, and South ruffs and finesses in clubs. East takes the king and leads another diamond. South has learned some- thing useful. East has shown
Dear Eric: I grew up in a silent household. I was a shamed, rejected kid and learned not to speak. One sister was the beautiful fa- vorite. My brother and I were shamed, and we feared our father. Our divorced mom ap- parently stole and kept some of my childhood jour- nals. She put them in her desk. When we cleared out mom’s home after she died, the cherished sister took the desk. I have been told that my journals have been great entertainment for my sister, her kids and for my now-de- ceased dad’s widow. I can’t even remember what I wrote. I did not learn to be comfortable speaking to people until someone in college pointed out that I ne- ver spoke. I started copying others who had better social skills. I learned social skills that way. I want the journals back, but is it too late? I feel ashamed to even ask. I am embarrassed that I am the family joke. I know when I ask it will cause my sister to laugh out loud. Also, I loved my deceased mom, and I am angry that she stole my jour- nals. It kind of ruined my love for the only person who showed love for me. Embarrassed Adult Child

the king of clubs, ace of spades and jack of dia- monds. He likely has the jack or queen of spades; West might have led a spade from, say, Q-J-9-6-5.

nals, your feelings, your ex- periences. No one should have taken them, and no one should be reading them without your permission. I’m sorry that you experi- enced this breach of trust by multiple members of your family. It isn’t right. As soon as you feel able, you should ask for your jour- nals back from your sister. You don’t need to debate it or give an explanation about why you want them. It’s up to you whether you want to reread them at all, but if you choose to do so, you may want to mentally prepare yourself and try to extend kindness and love to the version of yourself who wrote them. Don’t think about what your sister may have thought or said when she read them. What she thinks about your journal entries does not matter. Indeed, if there is any shame here, she should feel it. If she did read and share your private entries, it shows a profound lack of character. You have nothing of which to be ashamed.

I was wondering if this is the right way to act. Is it rude to invite someone to something and then cancel and say we will reschedule the dinner with- out saying anything? Uninvited Family
Dear Uninvited: While the scenario you describe is cer- tainly possible, it doesn’t seem like the most likely. Planning a celebratory din- ner, especially with ex- tended family, might pose a logistical challenge. Or the family might have simply gotten waylaid by other plans. The simplest way to ease your mind is to reach out and ask about the alter- nate date and reaffirm your interest in joining, if you are still interested in joining. If you have reason to be- lieve that this family might have purposefully excluded you — like, for instance, a past pattern of behavior — it might be a good idea to ad- dress the root issue first. This whole thing could be nothing, but if you aren’t feeling secure in the relation- ship you have with them, it’s healthy to sort those feelings out for yourself and then talk it out with them.

[Warped, from E1] I had to carve a niche out for myself in the industry. I was never going to really quite conform. I kind of came from that rebellious spirit that Goldenvoice instilled in me back in the ’80s when I worked for them, and Gary Tovar was rebel- lious. So I’ve always kind of had that mentality of, “Hey, let’s go against the norm. Let’s make it something our own.” And even when I’m teaching at USC now, I say you have to learn the foun- dations of every business. And those foundations, to me, were working 12 years in the clubs of L.A., 320 nights a year, and then you have to make something your own. I always say when you decide to go for it — go for it. And I did, and it seemed to connect with enough people and resonated with enough people that I’d been around that said, “Wow, this is dif- ferent. He needs to work on it. But instead of knocking him down, let’s support him.”... I’ve been a disruptor, and the disruption I’ve caused has attracted enough people. Now we’re a niche of people. Warped is a great niche.
How did you keep Warped on people’s minds year- round while you were plan- ning it out this year? That was a challenge because before we used to have the two-month tour, so we were able to build com- munity to keep the conver- sation going. Community is a big driver for me. Every- thing we’re doing now is investing in the community, and I think it’s working. [In January] we had a down- town Long Beach event with the band Holy Wars, we had an event in Orlando. We had one event in a fraternity house backyard in Virginia, we had events in Mexico City and Montreal … canned food drives, blood drives or, you know, register to vote. We’ll drop those kind of events so we’re constantly in every- one’s mindset. And it’s not about monetizing. I think people are always asking, “How do you monetize the superfan?” I’m like, “How do you reward them?” Giving people a free Sunday after- noon event in Long Beach, that’s a thank you. Those are the people that are going to spread the word when you

les at night and became nothing less than an imme- diate local classic. Refn’s first movie in America, “Drive” presents Gosling as a nameless young man who works as a mechanic and occasional stunt driver by day, criminal wheelman for hire by night. His quiet, structured exist- ence is thrown into disarray when he befriends his vul- nerable neighbor (Carey Mulligan) and her young son and soon their separate worlds collide. Having spent the better part of the past decade mak- ing streaming series — “Too Old to Die Young” for Ama- zon and “Copenhagen Cow- boy” for Netflix — Refn has once again returned to cine- ma. His newest film, the hor- ror-fantasy hybrid “Her Pri- vate Hell,” starring Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton, opened this past weekend. In town to promote the movie, Refn appeared Fri- day night at American Cine- matheque’s Los Feliz Thea- tre for a 15th anniversary screening of “Drive.” Refn, 55, got on a video call recently while in L.A. to talk about the unlikely im- pact of “Drive” and some of its more unexpected influ- ences.
The movie was such a cul- tural phenomenon when it came out — the soundtrack was so popular, people wore the scorpion jacket. What do you think audienc- es were responding to? I never look at reasons why. It was just a very mag- ical combustion of many different things that all came together. And I was fortunate enough to have that experience. And I think that trying to reconstruct that experience almost takes away the mystery of it. It was such a collision of multiple layers that you cannot plan, you can’t pre- pare. I was just incredibly lucky.

romantic than any of your other movies. Did you set out at the time to make your version of a romance? It’s a teenage love story. There was a movie that made an enormous impact on me when I was fairly young in my very early teens, a film called “Sixteen Candles.” I don’t know if you remember it. But there was something about the innocence of falling in love that always stayed with me. And I guess “Drive” was my version of that innocence.
When people talk about “Drive,” they often refer- ence tough-guy movies like “The Driver” or “Thief” or “Point Blank.” But when you talk about “Drive,” you talk about “Sixteen Can- dles” and “Pretty Woman.” There’s a tension there that’s really exciting. You always have to try to do something — not differ- ent, but creatively see what other palettes are inside of you. And obviously, I came off “Bronson” and “Valhalla Rising,” which they’re about the alter ego. So for me it was just an extension into “Drive.” And there are certain expectations from what you make before to do it again, but not necessarily in that order. So I purely looked at “Drive” as my love story.
You’ve spoken about how connected you and Ryan Gosling felt at that time. Where did that come from? We were both naive idealists and we both had an enormous amount of emotions within us that we were trying to find places to unleash. So it was very easy for him to become my alter ego.
You’ve said you want to make a third movie to- gether — your second one was 2013’s “Only God For- gives.” Do you have some- thing specific in mind? Well, it’s something we always talk about whenever we connect. The act of “threes” is always an inter-

esting odyssey because it kind of cements how you begin and what happens in the middle and then how you end. So we know that we have at least one more movie in us.
The movie’s vision of Los Angeles isn’t typical: ware- houses in the Valley, back alleys in downtown. You were pretty new to the city at that point. How did you find the L.A. of “Drive”? I knew nothing really about L.A. So when you’re by nature a voyeur, which is what I am in many ways — I guess a pornographer in ways — when you come to a place and you see it from an outsider’s perspective, you sometimes see the beauty in the mundane, beauty in the expected. And then when you put your eye on it, you can transform it, even though you’ve passed the same block a thousand
times. What may be generic to you can be very exotic to me. And then that becomes exotic because it’s how I see it. When I came back to do “The Neon Demon,” I moved from where I’d been living with “Drive” into another area of L.A. And then when I came back for my show “Too Old to Die Young,” I moved into a third area. L.A. is my favorite place to work in because there are so many diverse opportunities and there’s so much culture and interest- ing people and interesting performers. It’s an iconog- raphy that lives in illusions. I really like working here.
post a video, they’re going to share it with all their friends, and then they’re going to be telling kids at their schools. A third of the people going to Warped had never been to a festival or even a concert before, so we need to engage them in a different way.
What are your ways of scouting out bands you want to take a chance on when booking the festival? Well, I have a great booker named Amanda Phelan. She books with me, so she’s kind of that on the ground talking to the agents and things. I don’t necessarily do that much anymore. I talk to them, but my part is more like, “Oh, I want to see what bands other bands are talking about, or young people are talking about.” And then I’m also talking to lots of the independent promoters out there that you know I used to work with.
from that. I prefer my free- dom on all levels. What do I want to do? I find more pleasure in living my life like that. Doesn’t mean that I’ve not had wonderful meetings and have worked at good places, but in a way, it was too limiting for me. I needed to be free as a bird and also to do other things.
One of the things that really stands out watching “Drive” now is how quiet the movie is and how often we’re just watching Ryan and Carey look at each other. You allow these pauses in between the lines of dialogue. That’s some- thing you’ve taken to even more of an extreme in “Her Private Hell.” What is it you’re exploring in those spaces? How to provoke the soul is through stillness and silence. And so in “Drive,” it was the purity of love. And

Why do you think younger generation of fest goers will keep discovering Warped Tour? We used to be that festi- val where you know it was over by sunset, your mom could pick you up at the curb or you could get home by dark, and then you went off to other festivals. We were your entry point to festivals. We may be that entry point again, but a lot of it now will come down to price point. We know the economics of Warped Tour are conducive for people that want to go on two levels: ones that want to come and explore a festival, and other ones, maybe some of your peers, who don’t get to go out every night and see bands anymore because they all have real jobs and things. But they can go for one, for two days and catch up on all music, which makes you feel like you’re staying young.

that’s just at that young age where you are so innocent, it’s all just looking at each other and feeling each oth- er’s presence and falling in love without the complica- tions of a relationship. So that was why the film needed that kind of lan- guage. It’s almost bound- less. And from then on, it became almost like: Could I build a moving installation? Because that’s what an experience is. It’s visiting elements that can pene- trate your soul and stay with you and inspire you or push buttons or make you angry or make you happy. So the notion of good or bad doesn’t really exist in that world anymore.
