最高法院法官驳回邮寄选票请求

特朗普在中期选举前的尝试在最高法院失败

作者：Lindsay Whitehurst 美联社

华盛顿 —— 美国最高法院周一驳回了总统唐纳德·特朗普限制中期选举邮寄选票的请求，为在投票已经开始之际的一系列最后一刻法律行动画上了句号。

该决定允许各州继续按照其多年来使用的相同流程发送邮寄选票。萨缪尔·阿利托和克拉伦斯·托马斯法官公开对这一简短命令表示异议。

特朗普政府曾请求法院——该法院再次成为激烈政治争议的中心——在决定国会控制权的 11 月关键竞选之前，为实施限制扫清障碍。由于美国近三分之一的选民通过邮寄方式投票，此案具有重大影响。

最高法院的多数派并未详细阐述其理由，这在最高法院的紧急议程中十分常见。与此同时，阿利托在异议中表示，美国邮政署“拥有监管邮件的广泛权力”，并且可能确实有权执行特朗普的限制措施。

布雷特·卡瓦诺法官同意这些限制不应在中期选举中生效，但他表示，如果该问题再次提交至法院，他可能会做出有利于特朗普政府的裁决。

选举官员表示，在中期选举前的几周内，根本无法完成全面的改革。阿拉巴马州、北卡罗来纳州和威斯康星州在过去一周内已开始向选民发送邮寄选票，而新系统当时尚未启用。

特朗普政府的计划将要求各州采用统一的信封样式，并将合格选民名单提交至一个在线门户网站。美国邮政署可以拒绝向不遵守规定的州递送选票。

然而，一份举报报告称，邮政系统的要求可能导致数百万张邮寄选票永远无法发出，因为该门户网站未被正确构建，且单个条形码错误就可能导致整批选票被丢弃。

民主党州官员和投票权利团体在法庭上对这些限制提出了挑战，认为总统没有宪法权力制定将“实际上消除邮寄

市政府小组支持增加资金以达成诉讼和解

$13.7500 万的金额与前警员涉嫌的渎职行为相关

作者：Jake Sheridan 芝加哥论坛报

尽管库克县首席检察官坚称，两名男子尽管持有无罪证明，但仍对一起恐怖的双重谋杀案负有罪责，但在市议员周一推进了两项协议后，芝加哥纳税人可能很快将向他们支付$13.7500 万，以解决其针对警察渎职的诉讼。

市议会财务委员会建议给予加布里埃尔·索拉切（Gabriel Solache）和阿尔图罗·德莱昂-雷耶斯（Arturo DeLeon-Reyes）达成协议，以解决他们的诉讼。该诉讼指控前侦探雷纳尔多·格瓦拉（Reynaldo Guevara）通过欺骗和殴打手段强迫他们做出虚假供词，从而导致他们入狱。

这两名男子在2000年被判定犯有残忍的双重谋杀和绑架罪，但此后已获得无罪证明，此外还有数十名被声名狼藉的格瓦拉调查过的芝加哥市民也获得了无罪证明。

不同的陪审团判定这两名男子致命地刺杀了43, 的马里亚诺·索托（Mariano Soto）及其 35, 的妻子哈辛塔（Jacinta），并绑架了他们的两个孩子。检察官最初称，该阴谋的动机是一名女性渴望拥有孩子。

涉嫌为了偷走这对夫妇2个月大女儿而策划此次袭击的女性阿德里亚娜·梅希亚（Adriana Mejia）目前在州监狱服无期徒刑。

法律部门律师杰西卡·费尔克（Jessica Felker）在会议期间告诉市议员，据称与德莱昂-雷耶斯有亲属关系且是索拉切朋友的梅希亚，当时被指在伪造怀孕。梅希亚最初告诉警方，当德莱昂-雷耶斯刺杀受害者时她在场，但否认索拉切参与其中。费尔克补充道，随后德莱昂-雷耶斯牵涉到了索拉切。

但这两名男子的供词是在某种环境下做出的，而这种环境

防止入侵鲤鱼的项目恢复工作

在施工暂停后，陆军工程兵团重启布兰登路计划

作者：Adriana Pérez 芝加哥论坛报

在美国陆军工程兵团暂停位于乔利埃特附近的布兰登路船闸与大坝工程一个多月后，该机构上周宣布将恢复施工。该工程是一项耗资11.5 亿美元 billion、旨在防止入侵鲤鱼进入五大湖的项目的一部分。

作为主要联邦赞助方的陆军工程兵团岩岛区于7月24日发布了停工令。倡导者表示，该命令是在“没有解释或警告”的情况下发布的，仅称该项目处于“行政审查中”。仅在三周后，伊利诺伊州自然资源部表示，在伊利诺伊河中距离密歇根湖仅80英里的地方发现了数百条小型银鲤，这比2010年以来常规监测发现的入侵鱼类位置更靠上游。

该位置表明，产卵活动可能发生在离湖泊更近的地方。五大湖联盟（Alliance for the Great Lakes）的倡导者称，这是一个“种群建立的令人不安的信号”，并且比单纯出现成年鱼“显示出更高的入侵风险”。

唐纳德·特朗普总统此前曾指示联邦机构以“最高速度和效率”推进在德普莱恩河上的该项目。

陆军工程兵团未就暂停施工的请求发表评论。

布兰登路跨流域项目（Brandon Road Interbasin Project）于2025, 开工，是伊利诺伊州、密歇根州与联邦政府之间数十年两党共同努力的结晶，旨在阻止入侵鱼类。这些鱼类对五大湖的本土物种和水生生态系统，以及其价值数十亿美元的捕鱼和划船业构成了重大威胁。

Lil Durk 在一起案件中被判无罪

该说唱歌手仍面临 源自芝加哥 谋杀案的 RICO 指控

作者：Jason Meisner 和 Sam Charles 芝加哥论坛报

在洛杉矶被判定雇凶谋杀罪名不成立、令人震惊的宣判两天后，出生于芝加哥的说唱歌手 Lil Durk 在社交媒体上发布了一张其强大的律师团队的照片，并配以一段关于自由的文字。

“尽管困难重重，我们团结在一起会更强大，”他在周日发布的一条 Instagram 帖子中写道，该帖子已获得超过 250 万次点赞。“……我感受到了所有的爱与正能量。现在让我获得自由，去帮助拯救我们的孩子，并为我们的社区重新带来团结。自由。自由。自由。”

但这位曾获格莱美奖、来自南区的说唱歌手（原名 Durk Banks）目前还不能离开。

尽管周五他被判定与洛杉矶一起谋杀竞争对手表亲的指控无关，但 Banks 周一仍被关在联邦监狱的牢房中，仍面临一项敲诈勒索起诉书。该起诉书指控他策划了 2022 年在芝加哥一家青少年中心外杀害 24 岁的 Stephon Mack 的案件。

针对剩余两项指控的审判目前定于 10 月 5 日在洛杉矶进行。与此同时，鉴于最近的无罪判决，Banks 的律师可能会提交一项动议，寻求在案件审理期间将其从监狱中释放。

这些指控比 Banks 上周摆脱的雇凶谋杀和跟踪指控要严重得多。这些指控在法律上被称为 VICAR，即“为了支持敲诈勒索活动而实施的暴力犯罪”，如果某些要素被证明排除合理怀疑，可能会被判处强制性终身监禁。

这些 VICAR 指控仍处于待审状态，因为负责该案的洛杉矶联邦法官在审判开始前不久将起诉书的这部分内容分离，称引入关于芝加哥谋杀案的复杂证据可能会误导陪审团并对 Banks 产生偏见。

在 7 月的一次相关听证会上，美国地方法院法官迈克尔·菲茨杰拉德（Michael Fitzgerald）指责政府试图在最后一刻扩大起诉范围，以增加辩护难度。尽管他称此举为“聪明”之举，但法官表示，这完全是“用芝加哥的尾巴在摇洛杉矶的狗”。

根据法院记录的笔录，菲茨杰拉德说：“这并不是因为伊利诺伊州北区美国检察官办公室对 Banks 先生及其音乐业务产生了高度怀疑，并因此调查了多年。相反，这在很大程度上是洛杉矶事件的结果。”

33 岁的 Banks 最初于 2024 年 10 月与另外五人一同被起诉，指控他们策划杀害说唱歌手 Quando Rondo（原名 Tyquian Terrel Bowman），以报复 2020 年 11 月 King Von 被枪杀之仇。Banks 被指控为杀害 Bowman 的行动提供资金。

根据联邦指控，2022 年 8 月，、他的姐姐以及他的表亲 Saviay'a Robinson（24 岁）在西好莱坞一家加油站附近乘坐 的黑色凯迪拉克 Escalade 汽车时，枪手开火。 和他的姐姐没有受伤，但 Robinson 中弹多次身亡。

在洛杉矶联邦法院经过为期三周的审判后，Banks 被判定所有指控均不成立。他的两名同伙 Deandre Wilson 和 David Lindsey 被判定跟踪罪名成立，但雇凶谋杀罪名不成立。

与此同时，这场审判演变成了一场每日上演、星光熠熠且在社交媒体上疯传的奇观。包括音乐明星 Machine Gun Kelly 和 Ye（原名 Kanye West 的芝加哥艺术家）在内的 Durk 支持者出现在观众席中，大量粉丝、直播主和其他内容创作者聚集在法院外。

在裁决之后，Banks 的律师德鲁·芬德林（Drew Findling）表示，他对这一结果感到“欣喜若狂”。

“当你有机会对美利坚合众国说，‘你们起诉这个年轻人是错误的’时，这是一种巨大的力量和责任，”他说道。

美国助理联邦检察官比尔·埃赛利（Bill Essayli）在一份声明中表示：“虽然我们对陪审团就德克·班克斯（Durk Banks，又名‘Lil Durk’）所作出的裁决感到失望，但我们期待在他的第二次审判中出示我们的证据。”

检察官今年早些时候提交的替代起诉书增加了相关指控，称班克斯是 Jan. 27, 2022, 麦克（Mack）被杀事件的幕后主使。麦克在走出位于西111街的罗斯兰青年和平中心后不久被枪杀。根据联邦调查局（FBI）的说法，麦克在去世时是帮派组织“帮派门徒”（Gangster Disciples）中 Smashville 分支的头目。

根据在芝加哥解封的一份搜查令宣誓书，麦克的被杀是对班克斯的兄弟唐泰·班克斯（Dontay Banks）被杀的报复。唐泰·班克斯于 2021. 在南郊哈维的一家夜总会外被枪杀。宣誓书指称，另一个与 Smashville 有联系的“帮派门徒”分支实施了那次谋杀。

一名联邦特工在 April 2023 写道：“Lil Durk 过去和现在一直在出钱雇人杀死对他兄弟谋杀案负责的人，更具体地说，是出钱买任何‘帮派门徒’成员的命。”

同年，芝加哥的联邦检察官指控安东尼·蒙哥马利-威尔逊（Anthony Montgomery-Wilson）和普雷斯顿·鲍威尔（Preston Powell）两名男子共谋雇凶杀害麦克。

在调查麦克之死时，联邦调查员分析了监狱电话记录、社交媒体帖子和枪支购买记录，以及 Lil Durk 在枪击事件发生约一个月后发布的歌曲《Ahhh Ha》中的歌词。

搜查令申请书进一步指出，蒙哥马利-威尔逊和鲍威尔“可能就麦克谋杀案的付款问题交换过短信”。

蒙哥马利-威尔逊在麦克死后几周因一项无关指控被捕。随后，纽伦诺克斯警察局的一名侦探申请并获得了搜查其手机内容的搜查令。

据称，调查人员随后发现了一段两人之间的短信对话，其中提到了“OTF”——这是由 Lil Durk 创立的说唱联盟，检察官随后将其与洛杉矶涉嫌的雇凶谋杀阴谋联系起来。

On Feb. 10, 2022, 短信对话中的一人询问：“otf怎么回事（Wassup with otf）”，另一人回答：“没什么。”

八天后，在同一段对话中，另一条短信写道：“durk把那笔钱给你了吗（Did durk gave u that money）。”

鲍威尔和蒙哥马利-威尔逊今年早些时候均在芝加哥美国地方法院对指控认罪，但两份认罪协议中均不包含任何关于配合指证班克斯的条款。蒙哥马利-威尔逊的认罪请求被判处 35 到 45 年监禁，而鲍威尔的请求则是 30 到 35 年。

在洛杉矶审判前夕，班克斯的律师猛烈抨击检方将重点放在 Lil Durk 的音乐上，并指出他多年来在芝加哥从事慈善事业的记录。

班克斯的律师在 2024 给 Tribune 的一份声明中表示：“当你看到艺术家的说唱歌词被引用为针对他们的‘证据’时，这明显表明针对该人并没有真正的证据。”

洛杉矶的审判确实播放了一些班克斯的音乐，包括歌曲《Pissed Me Off》的视频。

“拿把枪 / 如果你没钱，就筹钱买把枪 / 筹钱买辆快车 / 筹钱交保释金，”班克斯在视频中如此说唱，当时他穿着一件印有“Long Live Von”字样的 T 恤。

班克斯自 Oct. 24, 2024, 以来一直被拘留，当时联邦特工在芝加哥执行了一系列搜查令并逮捕了他的五名同伙。根据联邦检察官的说法，当时班克斯在佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡，随后他分别预订了前往迪拜和瑞士的国际航班——但他最终都没有登上这两架飞机。

相反，联邦调查局（FBI）获悉，班克斯已预订了一架计划于当晚起飞前往意大利的私人飞机。据检察官称，执法部门在班克斯开车进入机场后、起飞前约一小时将其逮捕。

警方报告披露亨博尔特公园大规模枪击案新细节

周一，在芝加哥亨博尔特公园（Humboldt Park）社区发生一起导致六人受伤、一人死亡的枪击事件一天后，北克里斯蒂安大道（North Christiana Avenue）700街区的一道围栏上系着一段警方封锁线。ARTHUR MAIORELLA / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

作者：Caroline Kubzansky 芝加哥论坛报（CHICAGO TRIBUNE）

周日正午刚过，在巡逻中的哈里森（Harrison）第11区警察通过无线电报告听到了枪声。片刻之后，关于多人被枪击的报告开始陆续传来。

芝加哥警方表示，这次在亨博尔特公园发生的由两辆车、多名枪手参与的袭击导致六人受伤。第七名受害者是一名18岁男子，他被枪击了十多次并死亡。截至周一，其身份尚未公开。

根据《论坛报》获得的警方报告，当警察抵达北克里斯蒂安大道700街区时，他们在街道中央发现了一辆深蓝色讴鲁（Acura）汽车和一名身中多枪的男子。旁观者指引警员前往附近的一条小巷，他们在那里发现了第二名身中多枪的男子。

一份初步警方报告称，另外两名受害者（一名男子和一名女子）均在芝加哥警察局的一辆巡逻车内寻求庇护。该报告称，这名女子在车内时臀部被击中两枪，随后撞上了一辆CTA巴士。

另一份早期报告称，该女子还撞到了其中一名枪手，该枪手随后进入了一辆黑色本田雅阁（Honda Accord），这辆车出现在警方监控录像中，载有部分袭击者。

录像显示，在街道中央发现的那辆讴鲁车内也载有枪手。枪手们驾驶着讴鲁和本田两辆车沿芝加哥大道向西行驶，然后向南转入克里斯蒂安大道，随后下车向人群开火并逃离。初步报告称，所有枪手最后都进入了本田车，并将报废的讴鲁车遗留在现场。

根据一份报告，警方在现场回收了70枚步枪和手枪弹壳，并发现该讴鲁车此前已被报在西塞罗（Cicero）被盗。

枪击事件中受伤最年轻的人是一名14岁男孩，其双腿均受枪伤。警方表示，他被送往斯特罗格医院（Stroger Hospital），情况良好。CTA巴士的司机也被送往医院观察。

周一下午，哈里森区的侦探仍在继续调查，尚未有人被拘留。

西北区律师昆兰参选市长

律师比尔·昆兰（Bill Quinlan）周一坐在位于老城（Old Town）的竞选办公室外。昆兰正启动其芝加哥市长竞选活动。EILEEN T. MESLAR / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

作者：A.D. Quig 芝加哥论坛报

律师威廉·J·昆兰（William J. Quinlan）曾与该州一些最高知名度的政治人物在幕后合作，如今他正加入竞争激烈的芝加哥市长选举之争。

在周二的竞选启动活动中，昆兰主张他对政府的内部运作有着独特的理解，但并未像许多政治圈内人士那样，在充满选举晋升之道的职业生涯中被玷污。

“需要有人不仅仅是担心想出一个两年的临时方案，以便让自己能够连任，”民主党人昆兰说道。“我了解政府如何运作，但我不是体制的一部分，我也不欠任何人（任何东西）。”

他继续说道：“当你审视整个竞争局面时——我们在决定参选前评估过——你会发现除了那些欠人情的人、体制内的人，以及基本上只想获得一个头衔的人之外，没有其他人。这就是为什么你会看到有人同时竞选多个职位。”

昆兰目前经营着一家以自己名字命名的私人律师事务所，但在过去的几十年里，他曾为伊利诺伊州一些最著名的政治人物担任过多种职务。从2005年起直到2008年辞职，他曾担任前州长罗德·布拉戈耶维奇（Rod Blagojevich）麾下的州总法律顾问，当时该州长刚因联邦腐败指控被捕。昆兰表示，那次经历扼杀了他在“公共服务领域工作的欲望”。

现在，“我唯一想要的工作就是这个，”昆兰在谈到市长之位（the fifth floor）时说道。作为芝加哥远西北区索加纳什（Sauganash）的本地人，他说：“我一生都住在这里。我在这里创业，在这里抚养孩子。我想尽我所能让这座城市重回正轨。”

尽管如此，他承认在拥挤的市长候选人阵营中脱颖而出将非常困难。

其他几位非政治人士也正以“局外人”身份参选，走在比市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）更温和的路线，而像国会议员迈克·奎格利（Mike Quigley）、州审计长苏珊娜·门多萨（Susana Mendoza）和州务卿亚历克西·吉安诺利亚斯（Alexi Giannoulias）等民选官员也参与了竞争。

芝加哥糟糕的财务状况是昆兰最关注的问题之一。他主张，由于那些急于通过下次选举的政治家们的短期思维，预算问题在过去40年里不断堆积。他告诉《论坛报》，这座城市需要恢复到疫情前的支出水平，将职能与其他地方政府单位整合，并专注于创造性的长期收入解决方案。“我支持百万富翁税，但我们尝试过，它没有通过，”他说。

昆兰出身于一个长期与地方政府有联系的家庭。他的已故父亲威廉·R·昆兰（William R. Quinlan）曾担任从理查德·J·戴利（Richard J. Daley）到简·伯恩（Jane Byrne）期间的市法律顾问，曾任库克县巡回法院和州上诉法院法官，以及库克县委员会的议事规则专家。他的叔叔是前库克县委员会主席理查德·费伦（Richard Phelan）。

他在伊利诺伊大学读本科期间曾为前伊利诺伊州众议院议长迈克·马迪根（Mike Madigan）工作；在乔治城大学读法学院期间，昆兰曾为芝加哥的美国众议员丹·罗斯滕科夫斯基（Dan Rostenkowski）工作三年，后者当时担任权力巨大的众议院筹款委员会主席。

昆兰最近一次高调的角色是代表前芝加哥公立学校首席执行官佩德罗·马丁内斯（Pedro Martinez），在与约翰逊的保职之争中为其辩护。其他芝加哥人可能还记得他曾在针对《帝国》（Empire）演员贾西·斯莫莱特（Jussie Smollett）的民事诉讼中为其辩护，该诉讼涉及在调查一起被其量刑法官描述为“骗局仇恨犯罪”的过程中记录的警察加班费金额。

他组建了一支竞选团队，成员包括大卫·艾肯鲍姆（David Eichenbaum），他是比尔·克林顿 1996 年竞选活动的成员，并曾在肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔（Andy Beshear）竞选期间担任顾问。昆兰（Quinlan）的亲信团队中还包括资深战略家比尔·克纳普（Bill Knapp），他曾参与比尔·克林顿和巴拉克·奥巴马的总统竞选，以及迈克·布隆伯格（Mike Bloomberg）的三次纽约市市长竞选。

同样来自布隆伯格团队的布拉德利·塔斯克（Bradley Tusk）——他曾担任布拉戈耶维奇（Blagojevich）麾下的副州长——以及希拉·尼克斯（Sheila Nix）也在提供帮助。后者曾任前第一夫人吉尔·拜登（Jill Biden）的幕僚长，随后担任副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）的高级顾问兼竞选幕僚长。此外，曾任 YouTube 明星 Mr. Beast 创意制作人的克里斯蒂安·华莱士·施赖弗（Christian Wallace Shriver）也在协助工作。

自去年秋天以来，昆兰一直在悄悄为竞选市长做准备，并通过其 501(c)(4) 非营利公民组织“引领更好的芝加哥”（Leading a Better Chicago）举办活动。

作为一名律师，他曾代表库克县处理正在进行的诉讼，并负责执行《沙克曼法令》（Shakman Decree）；该法令是在一项旨在消除政府招聘中政治考量的诉讼之后实施的。

根据竞选团队提供的一份简历，他曾参与挑战“根据伊利诺伊州宪法判定各项州法规是否违宪”的案件，例如与《伊利诺伊州区域交通管理局法案》以及国会和司法选区重新划分相关的法规。

昆兰担任面向高危青少年的社会服务非营利组织劳伦斯·霍尔（Lawrence Hall）的董事会主席，并曾是库克县健康基金会（Cook County Health Foundation）董事会的成员，期间他公开表达了对董事会领导层涉及利益冲突的担忧。州总检察长对此展开了调查，但最终在未发现任何违规行为的情况下结案。

纪念牺牲警员

退休的芝加哥警察马修·布兰登（Matthew Brandon）周六在芝加哥揭幕了重新命名的第3区大十字警察局（3rd District Grand Crossing Police Station），以纪念他的妻子多雷尔·C·布兰登（Dorelle C. Brandon）警员。布兰登是首位在执行公务中牺牲的芝加哥女警。布兰登于1984年1月25日在从事缉毒卧底工作期间被枪击身亡。 JOHN KONSTANTARAS / 为《芝加哥论坛报》拍摄

法官暂时拦截伊利诺伊州天主教医疗机构的医疗辅助死亡法

作者：Jeremy Gorner 芝加哥论坛报

一名联邦法官暂时拦截了伊利诺伊州针对天主教医疗服务提供者的医疗辅助死亡新法的执行。在另一名法官于前一日拒绝在另一起案件中完全拦截该法律之后，该法官支持了枢机主教布拉斯·库皮奇（Blase Cupich）提起的一项诉讼。

美国地方法院法官富兰克林·U·瓦尔德拉马（Franklin U. Valderrama）在周五的裁决中，暂时禁止州政府官员针对某些医疗专业人员执行《绝症患者生命终结选择法》（End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act）——该法于周六生效。

根据法院记录，该命令禁止州公共卫生部和财务与专业监管部对原告采取行动，原告包括神职人员和部分药房工作人员，“以及在库皮奇管辖范围内在其场所提供护理的人员和天主教医疗实体”。该裁决不适用于该群体之外的医疗服务提供者，且该法律对所有其他伊利诺伊州居民依然有效。

库皮奇的诉讼指控该法违反了第一修正案、《美国残疾人法案》、《平价医疗法案》及其他法律条款，该诉讼将继续在法院审理。

库皮奇在的一份声明中对该裁决表示欢迎，称该裁决目前将保护医疗服务提供者免于“违背良心”地被强迫告知患者其具有“自杀的‘权利’”，并防止这些提供者帮助患者获得致命药物的资格，或将其转交给愿意帮助他们获取这些药物的人，他将此称为协助“自杀”。

“这些义务违反了言论自由和宗教自由的核心宪法保护。包含这些条款的法律必须被永久废除，”库皮奇表示。“需要明确的是，教会对该法令的反对并非试图将天主教教义强加给非天主教徒；而是旨在阻止州政府强迫天主教医疗服务提供者违背其良心。”

新法的支持者之一——伊利诺伊州美国公民自由联盟（ACLU of Illinois）坚持对其措施进行坚定辩护。

“虽然我们支持宗教自由，但我们坚信，个体医疗工作者或机构的宗教观点不应成为拒绝为寻求护理的人提供医疗服务（包括生命终结选择）的工具，”该组织倡导与政府事务主任卡丁·贝内特（Khadine Bennett）在声明中表示。

其他法律挑战也针对了这项由州长JB·普利兹克（JB Pritzker）在去年年底批准的医疗辅助死亡法。例如，瓦尔德拉马的裁决是在伊利诺伊州北区另一名联邦法官拒绝了6月份另一项诉讼原告拦截该法生效的请求之后的一天做出的。

该诉讼与库皮奇等人的法律挑战类似，指控其违反了《美国残疾人法案》和《平价医疗法案》。该诉讼由残疾人权利倡导者提起，还指控其违反了第14修正案的平等保护条款。该诉讼的原告现在有不到 30 天的时间来证明为什么该诉讼的其余部分不应同样被驳回。

伊利诺伊州加入了至少 10 个其他州以及华盛顿特区，允许医疗辅助死亡。普利兹克表示，这一措施将帮助绝症患者“在生命尽头避免不必要的痛苦和折磨”。反对者则称该法律是不道德的，因为它允许患者选择结束自己的生命。

根据该法律，被医生判定生存期不超过六个月、且年满 18 周岁的伊利诺伊州居民，“可以口头向其主治医生请求开具药物处方”，且该请求必须记录在案。患者在提出口头请求后，还必须向医生提交书面药物请求。此外，患者在首次口头请求五天后，必须再次提出第二次口头请求。

法律规定，书面药物请求必须有两名证人在场见证，且证人需认为患者精神状态健全且行为自愿；该法律同时对谁可以担任证人进行了限制。

当患者提出第二次口头请求时，主治医生必须为患者提供撤回请求的机会，并“向患者提供关于所有适当临终关怀方案的充分信息”，包括舒适护理、临终关怀、姑息治疗和疼痛控制，以及每项方案可预见的风险与益处。

伊利诺伊州与芝加哥就移民新规起诉特朗普

作者：Alice Yin 和 Olivia Olander 芝加哥论坛报（CHICAGO TRIBUNE）

芝加哥市和伊利诺伊州正针对特朗普政府一项将于周五生效的新规提起法律挑战。该规定将赋予联邦政府更广泛的权力，以拒绝向领取福利金的移民发放绿卡——这是白宫与民主党领导人州长 JB·普利兹克（JB Pritzker）及市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）之间最新的法律冲突。

伊利诺伊州总检察长夸梅·劳尔（Kwame Raoul）签署文件，使该州成为提交至纽约南区美国联邦地区法院的两起诉讼之一的原告，并将国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）、美国公民及移民服务局及其局长约瑟夫·埃德洛（Joseph Edlow）列为被告。伊利诺伊州在上述诉讼中加入了一个由 22 个州和哥伦比亚特区组成的联盟。芝加哥则签署了一起由纽约市主导的独立诉讼，参与方还包括旧金山、加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉县、西雅图以及华盛顿州金县。

这些城市和州认为，7 月公布的这项联邦规定赋予了国土安全部过大的自由裁量权，可以用以限制参与医疗补助（Medicaid）、食品券、住房券或其他社会安全网计划的移民获得绿卡和签证。

唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府针对一项长期存在的“公众负担”（public charge）条款发布了新规，该条款规定美国可以拒绝允许那些可能依赖政府援助的人员入境。新规推翻了乔·拜登总统政府的一项政策，该政策将“公众负担”的考量仅限于现金福利或长期护理。

“当联邦政府强迫移民家庭在维持温饱、带孩子看病或保护留在本国的能力之间做出选择时，芝加哥绝不会坐视不管，”市长约翰逊在声明中表示。“这项规定不仅残酷，而且违法，它威胁到我们整个城市的健康与安全。……芝加哥此前曾与这些攻击作斗争，现在我们将与纽约以及全国各地的城市再次共同抗争。”

国土安全部发言人钱德勒·雷贝尔（Chandler Rebel）在声明中为规则变更辩护，并称挑战该规定的各州和城市是“担心失去联邦资金”，因为移民“可能会退出美国的福利计划”。

“对于这个所谓的糟糕结果，我们简直‘吓得发抖’，”雷贝尔写道。

各州的诉讼认为，非公民及其家属将面临一项“不可能的任务”——即在参与福利计划与冒着危及绿卡申请路径的风险之间进行权衡。诉讼还主张，由于移民将退出预防性医疗、食品援助和学校午餐等计划，该规定将以“可预见的方式”损害各州，并可能导致各州失去与参保人数挂钩的联邦资金。

州联盟的原告方认为，他们可能会损失 5.75亿美元 与补充营养援助计划（SNAP）资金相关的联邦款项，以及数十亿与医疗补助（Medicaid）和儿童健康保险相关的款项。

劳尔在周一的新闻稿中表示，特朗普政府的这项规定是其“最新一次针对移民及其家属的尝试，这一次是通过惩罚他们合法使用其有权享有的公共福利来实现”。

市政联盟的诉讼认为，拜登在 2022 年给出的更窄的“公众负担”定义反映了“一种认知，即使用补充性公共福利可以在追求更好生活的旅程中提供支持，且并非未来依赖政府的可靠预测指标”，而国土安全部的新规过于模糊。

“约翰·亚当斯将共和国描述为‘法律的帝国，而非个人的帝国’，”诉讼中提到这位美国第二任总统，“我们国家的建立基于这一核心价值。而通过新的公众负担‘规定’，被告们摧毁了这一原则。”

周一的两项法律挑战是在特朗普政府去年针对伊利诺伊州和芝加哥移民庇护政策的诉讼被驳回，以及随后总统试图在伊利诺伊州动员国民警卫队的尝试被阻止之后提出的。

纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）和纽约市市长佐兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）领导了这两项法律挑战。

芝加哥钻头说唱歌手 BloodHound Q50 周日遭枪击身亡

警方及唱片公司称，一名音乐家在 一场涉及 6 人的枪击事件中被杀

作者：Caroline Kubzansky 芝加哥论坛报（CHICAGO TRIBUNE）

根据警方报告和 Cooper 的艺术合作伙伴透露，芝加哥钻头说唱歌手 Mikquale Cooper（又名 BloodHound Q50）于周日凌晨在富勒公园（Fuller Park）的一家加油站被杀。这显然是一起有预谋的枪击事件，涉及两辆汽车和至少六人。

根据《论坛报》获得的一份警方报告，22 岁的 周日凌晨 4 点左右与一名 29 岁的女性开车前往南温特沃斯大道（South Wentworth Avenue）4200 街区的一家加油站。在他到达后不久，另外两辆车——一辆黑色英菲尼迪（Infiniti）和一辆银色本田（Honda）——驶至此处。

加油站的监控录像显示， 和该女性均进入店内，此时黑色英菲尼迪车内的两名蒙面人员从银色本田车中取出物品并返回自己的车内。随后，该女性和 回到他们的车内，那是一辆白色特斯拉（Tesla）。英菲尼迪车上的两人以及本田车内的另外四人下车，开始向特斯拉开枪。

报告称，监控录像捕捉到两名枪手分别穿着一件背面带有足球设计的绿色连帽衫和一件蓝色连帽衫。报告指出，其余人员均穿着黑色衣服并戴着滑雪面罩。监控录像记录到两辆车随后沿温特沃斯大道向南行驶。

警方表示， 因胸部和肩膀中弹被送往芝加哥大学医学中心，在袭击发生约半小时后被宣布死亡。与其同行的女性未被列入受伤名单，且在周一早晨接到电话时拒绝发表评论。

截至周一早晨，尚未有任何人因此次枪击事件被拘留。温特沃斯地区的凶杀案侦查员正在进行调查。

芝加哥警方和库克县（Cook County）的法院记录显示， 此前曾于 2023 年 9 月在城市西北侧的北中央公园大道（North Central Park Avenue）4000 街区遭到枪击。出警人员发现受伤的 持有一把格洛克（Glock）手枪，该枪安装了转换开关以使其成为自动武器。记录显示， 随后承认加重非法使用武器罪，被判处一年监禁。

的音乐厂牌 AMF Records 周日晚上转发了 Signal Records 创始人 Jeffrey Vaughn 关于 之死的 Instagram 帖子。

在那篇帖子中，Vaughn 分享了两张 的照片，并赞扬他“不断进步的词作能力”、对音乐制作的直觉以及对视频剪辑的细致关注。

“Q50 始终真实地做自己，从不害怕讲述自己的故事，”Vaughn 写道，“懂的人自然懂——Q50 从不害羞于向我和我的团队提出他想要看到的东西。我对此深表尊重。我会非常想念他的。”

前联邦检察官将出任伊利诺伊州立法伦理监督机构代理负责人

作者：Jeremy Gorner 芝加哥论坛报（CHICAGO TRIBUNE）

一名联邦检察官前任将临时接任伊利诺伊州议会（Illinois General Assembly）的最高伦理监督负责人。该办公室此前因处理一名州议员前任的性骚扰投诉方式而陷入争议。

伊利诺伊州立法伦理委员会已选定大卫·E·里斯利（David E. Risley）于10月 1. 开始担任立法监察长代理职务，接替原州法院及联邦法院法官迈克尔·P·麦卡斯基（Michael P. McCuskey）。麦卡斯基定于9月 30 amid questions over his handling of a female lobbyist's sexual harassment allegations against disgraced former state Rep. Harry Benton.

里斯利是一名认证监察长，曾任美国伊利诺伊州中区助理检察官。担任伦理委员会主席的共和党议员、来自赛莫尔（Sycamore）的杰夫·凯彻（Jeff Keicher）在周一的一份声明中表示，里斯利“带来了超过 30 年的调查和检察工作经验”。凯彻还提到，里斯利曾在美国政权犯罪联络办公室（U.S. Regime Crimes Liaison Office）调查伊拉克的反人类罪行，曾担任伊利诺伊州交通部的伦理官员，以及立法监察长办公室的法律和伦理顾问。

“公众的信任理所当然地被近期事件所动摇，这就是为什么委员会迅速采取行动填补该职位，以确保无缝衔接，”凯彻说。“里斯利先生丰富的调查和检察经验，以及他对伊利诺伊州伦理法的了解，使他成为担任代理立法监察长的绝佳人选。”

现年 78, 岁的麦卡斯基在五年任期过半时离职。在 7月 31, 发布的一份报告中，麦卡斯基认定，来自普莱恩菲尔德（Plainfield）的民主党人本顿对该游说者及另外两名女性实施了“模式化且惯常”的性骚扰。本顿于 7月 3 从伊利诺伊州众议院辞职。

大卫·E·里斯利已被州立法伦理委员会选定于10月 1. 开始担任立法监察长代理职务。大卫·E·里斯利

然而，该游说者对麦卡斯基在调查期间的行为提出了质疑，指责他歪曲了她的陈述。在给伊利诺伊州四名最高立法领导人的信中（该信由《论坛报》率先报道），她表示麦卡斯基“违背了其他受害者以及我的信任，打破了标准的调查规范，并在面试以及随后关于本顿指控的互动中对我发表了不恰当的言论”。

麦卡斯基对该案的处理成为了伊利诺伊州议会大厦性骚扰广泛争议中的又一个冲突点。《论坛报》在麦卡斯基报告公开前两周发布的一项调查发现，众议院议长埃马纽埃·“克里斯”·韦尔奇（Emanuel “Chris” Welch）的办公室在 3 年前就从 3 名女性中的一名那里得知了针对本顿的性骚扰投诉——该女性是本顿选区办公室的一名年轻工作人员，她在 2023. 年 4月向韦尔奇当时的幕僚长举报了他。韦尔奇当时没有对本顿采取任何行动，并在一年后向本顿的连任竞选活动捐赠了 $1400万。

里斯利此前曾在卡罗尔·波普（Carol Pope）担任立法监察长期间为其工作。波普在 2021, 年宣布辞职，理由是担心该办公室缺乏适当调查议员和工作人员的权力，并抱怨当时州议会通过的新伦理条款过于薄弱。在最终导致麦卡斯基于 2022, 年被选中的过程中，立法机构的民主党人曾倾向于让里斯利接任该职位，他此前还曾担任共和党前州长布鲁斯·劳纳（Bruce Rauner）的公共安全政策主任。

立法伦理委员会是一个由四名民主党议员和四名共和党议员组成的跨党派机构，有权在全体大会确认永久接任者之前，任命一名代理立法监察长。代理立法监察长拥有与正式任职者相同的权力，且在必要时可任职至 30, 2028 年 6 月本届任期结束。

凯彻表示，一旦里斯利于 1, 10 月就职，四位最高立法领导人中的每一位都将有机会向搜索委员会指派一名代表，该委员会将审核有意永久接替麦库斯基的候选人的简历。这些名单随后将提交给委员会审议，然后再转发至全体立法机构。

自然保护需要学会说“是”

给我们运动的一封信

每小时，我们失去超过 40 英亩的农田和牧场。每天，面积相当于两个中央公园的开放空间消失。每年，又有 100 万英亩的森林丧失。而一旦这些土地消失，就永远消失了。

而现在，数万亿美元用于急需的基础设施建设，将创造美国历史上规模最大的建设时期之一。

如果没有清晰的愿景，这些新基础设施将加速野生土地和工作土地的丧失，而人们和野生动物都依赖于此。这些是我们无法承受失去的土地。

那么，我们如何在建设所需基础设施的同时，保护我们所依赖的自然系统？

环保运动在解决上个世纪的许多挑战方面值得巨大的赞赏：减少污染、保护标志性景观，并迫使工业界为环境破坏负责。但我们是通过说“不”来实现的——通过立法、监管和诉讼。“不”是保护艰苦赢得的保护成果的有力工具。但它不能是我们工具箱中唯一的工具。

如果我们想要应对气候变化、住房需求、水资源短缺和农村经济发展，我们需要建设。当我们建设时，我们有机会将新基础设施与保护成果相结合，为我们的国家赢得比仅说“不”所能实现的更多成果。人造基础设施和自然基础设施不再是对手，而是成为伙伴。这就是寻找“是”的含义。

湿地可以防御洪水、风暴潮和极端天气。森林储存碳、过滤饮用水并延长水库的寿命。农场提供新鲜、本地且可持续的食物。城市树冠让城市在热浪中依然宜居。这些自然系统是必需品，而非便利设施。它们承担了人造基础设施无法完成的工作。

我们不能仅通过说“不”来解决当今最大的挑战。

一个繁荣、健康且具有韧性的未来，需要一个既致力于建设国家紧迫需求，又致力于保护不可替代之物的环保运动。

未来的挑战过于巨大且复杂，无法用昨天的剧本应对。我们需要一个在建设方面与在阻拦方面同样坚定的运动。

是时候寻找那个“是”了。为了我们所有人。

最终导致他们的定罪——德莱昂-雷耶斯 (DeLeon-Reyes) 被判终身监禁，索拉切 (Solache) 被判死刑——被推翻。

他们指控格瓦拉 (Guevara) 伪造英文陈述以制造虚假供词。他们称该侦探多次击打他们的头部，并审讯他们长达 42 小时。

费尔克 (Felker) 表示，综合来看，格瓦拉在其他数十起类似案件中的行为和名声意味着针对他们的核心证据——即他们的书面供词——不能成立。

她说：“没有将索拉切和德莱昂-雷耶斯与该罪行联系起来的实物证据。阿德里亚娜 (Adriana) 鞋子和裤子上的血迹确实与其中一名受害者相匹配。”

加布里埃尔·索拉切 (Gabriel Solache)，2018 年 2 月 5 日在芝加哥西北大学法学院，在因 1998 年的一起双重谋杀案入狱近 20 年后，与阿图罗·雷耶斯 (Arturo Reyes，未在图中) 一同被证明无罪。LOU FOGLIA / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

费尔克表示，梅希亚 (Mejia) 坚持认为索拉切和德莱昂-雷耶斯帮助她实施了犯罪，但同时也称格瓦拉击打过她并扯过她的头发。

一名法官在 2017 年推翻了索拉切和德莱昂-雷耶斯的定罪，指责格瓦拉在“睁眼说瞎话”。几天后，库克县州检察长金·福克斯 (Kim Foxx) 的办公室撤销了对他们的指控。随后，福克斯的办公室放弃了长期以来对这两名男子申请无罪证明的反对，德莱昂-雷耶斯和索拉切在 2022 年获得了无罪证明。

不过，费尔克表示，福克斯在证词中称她认为这两名男子是有罪的。

“她还表示，由于法院在本案中认定格瓦拉（Guevara）不具备能力且不可信，她无法采取任何行动，”她说道。

由于市政府还面临约 40 起与格瓦拉相关的案件，议员们在通过一项口头表决批准这两项协议之前，谴责了纳税人预计将承担的巨额和解与判决费用。如果这些和解协议在预计于下周举行的市议会全体会议投票中获得通过，索拉切（Solache）将获得 600万美元，德莱昂-雷耶斯（DeLeon-Reyes）将获得 $7.7500 万。

一些议员再次呼吁达成所谓的“全球和解”，旨在一次性解决大部分案件。约翰逊政府此前在处理其他警务丑闻时曾采用此举以降低法律成本。

委员会还推进了一项 600万美元 的和解协议，对象是迈克尔·A·乔丹（Michael A. Jordan）的家属。这位 27 岁的男子被一名企图逃避警方追捕的司机驾驶的车辆撞击身亡。该诉讼指控警方在逃跑司机撞上 CTA 巴士站并导致这位三个孩子的父亲死亡之前，违反了车辆追逐规则。

议员们还推进了一项 $225,000 的和解协议，对象是洛伦佐·威廉姆斯（Lorenzo Williams）。他指控警方在监控摄像头发现他携带枪支后，使用了过度武力将其逮捕。

据市府律师称，威廉姆斯在逮捕时进行了反抗，在其他警察将其按住的过程中，一名警员用警用电台击中了他的头部三次。警方从他的腰带中缴获了一把装满子弹的枪支，威廉姆斯随后承认非法持有枪支罪。他被判处三年监禁，目前处于假释状态。

财务委员会以 18 比 13 的投票结果推进了该协议，对于此类和解协议而言，如此接近的投票结果较为罕见。

州长

接 A1 页

在当年的共和党初选中，贝利（Bailey）胜出，但在随后的普选中以近 13 个百分点的差距输给了普利兹克（Pritzker）。特朗普称这位担任了两届任期的民主党州长——同时也是全国范围内对总统批评最激烈的人士之一——是“一个灾难性的州长”。

“看看现在犯罪情况如何。JB·普利兹克应该落败。出于某种原因，民主党在那里赢了。我不知道为什么，”特朗普在谈到普利兹克时说道。普利兹克除了寻求第三个任期外，还在考虑潜在的 2028 年总统竞选。 “但贝利是一个非常优秀的候选人。他经历了一场可怕的悲剧。他能挺过来真是令人惊叹。他的大部分家人都被夺走了。”

在第二次竞选州长期间，贝利试图将特朗普作为一个边缘议题，而将重点放在州内问题上，以争取选民众多的郊区支持。由于总统在这些地区的低受欢迎度，这些地区已日益向民主党倾斜。

“唐纳德·特朗普与我竞选州长没有任何关系，”贝利在回答一名记者的提问时说道。该记者询问了他在 2022 年州长竞选期间积极争取总统支持的行为，包括频繁访问特朗普位于佛罗里达州的海湖庄园。

周一，在特朗普公开表示支持后，贝利继续发表类似言论。

“我感谢特朗普总统对我竞选州长的背书，但这并不是这次竞选的核心，”贝利在一份声明中表示。“核心在于 JB·普利兹克在过去

八年里，在无数方面辜负了伊利诺伊州的家庭。”

尽管贝利试图将特朗普推到竞选活动的背景之中，但这位共和党人也采取了一些行动，使总统成为一个选举议题，此前他曾表示不会拒绝背书。

上周，贝利参加了为期两天的中期共和党全国代表大会（被总统的支持者称为“特朗普狂欢节”）。在资深共和党美国众议员、来自墨菲斯堡的迈克·博斯特（Mike Bost）发布在社交媒体 X 上的照片中，可以看到贝利坐在达拉斯美国航空中心（American Airlines Center）的“总统席”中。两年前，贝利曾试图将博斯特从国会议员席位上赶下台，但未获成功。特朗普在那场竞选中支持了博斯特。

特朗普现在对贝利的背书，正值普利兹克——这位亿万富翁企业家及凯悦酒店财富继承人——在电视广告中展示贝利过去对特朗普的支持言论之际。

在之前的州长竞选中，贝利称自己是“一名保守派战士，也是特朗普总统的忠实支持者”，并表示：“我感谢上帝赐予了特朗普总统。”他还说总统“是一个聪明人。他知道自己在做什么……以及何时去做。”

普利兹克竞选团队发言人利亚·赫尔维茨（Leah Hurwitz）表示，特朗普对贝利的背书“对于了解贝利对特朗普极度崇拜的伊利诺伊州人来说，并不令人意外”。

“尽管总统给我们的州带来了损害，但贝利仍然支持特朗普的关税政策，为联邦特工进入我们的街道而欢呼，并誓言要‘为他铺红地毯’。”

特朗普计划在本月底访问伊利诺伊州，参加在杜佩奇县（DuPage County）美迪纳乡村俱乐部（Medinah Country Club）举行的总统杯高尔夫球赛。这是他罕见地访问该州，他在三次总统竞选中均在该州失利。目前尚不清楚特朗普在访问期间是否会为贝利进行竞选活动。

下级法院对此表示赞同并阻止了特朗普的计划，其中包括一名由总统提名法官发布的初步禁令。

但特朗普政府向最高法院提起上诉，辩称联邦政府对邮政署的控制使其有权制定邮寄选票处理规则，且该方案具备可执行性。

联邦政府在最高法院赢得了一项早期的程序性裁决，但大法官们明确地没有就该计划的合法性做出决定。特朗普长期以来一直反对邮寄投票，并将其虚假地归咎于他在2020年选举中败给民主党人乔·拜登的原因，尽管他自己经常使用这种方式投票，包括就在今年。

中国籍性工作者在海关及边境保护局特工案件中出庭作证

她告诉陪审团，对方被提供免费服务以换取停止攻击女性

作者：Jason Meisner 芝加哥论坛报

周一，一个中国妓女团伙的中层主管告诉联邦陪审团，当美国海关及边境保护局（CBP）特工路易斯·乌里比（Luis Uribe）开始付费与其发生性关系时，她起初对他很有好感，且两人的关系足够亲密，以至于她曾请求他在移民问题上提供帮助。

但根据她的证词，在乌里比被怀疑对她团伙中的性工作者发起一系列攻击后，这位使用美国化名字“丽莎”（Lisa）的女性同意协助将乌里比诱骗至一次午餐会，以便拍下他的照片，并传达来自中国老板的消息。

“消息是请求他不要伤害我们的女孩，作为回报，我们将每周为他提供一次免费的性服务，”丽莎通过一名普通话翻译作证道。

丽莎的证词是检方起诉乌里比的关键部分。乌里比是一名驻扎在奥黑尔国际机场的资深特工，据称他在2022年的一系列大胆攻击中，利用其警徽和配枪闯入酒店房间，抢劫并强奸了四名与中国性产业相关的女性。

45岁的乌里比目前在德克森美国法院（Dirksen U.S. Courthouse）受审。联邦起诉书指控他犯有10项利用法律权力剥夺权利罪，以及一项在暴力犯罪期间及相关行为中挥舞枪支罪。如果被定罪，他面临最高终身监禁。

检察官指称，乌里比“歪曲”了其服务与保护的职责，从调查犯罪转变为实施犯罪。

但乌里比的律师迈克尔·克兰西（Michael Clancy）表示，虽然乌里比是一个软弱且有“缺陷”的男人，且确实出入妓院，但所谓的受害者是骗子，他们在陷害他之前曾寻求他在移民问题上的帮助。

克兰西表示，他的当事人将出庭为自己辩护，最早可能在周二。

在丽莎出庭之前，陪审团听取了四名所谓受害者的陈述，她们均指认乌里比为袭击她们的“假警察”。但这四名女性在回忆攻击细节时有时会出现困难，并且在交叉质询中面对与此前向调查人员陈述不一致之处时，有时显得困惑。

这种情况在周一上午继续，一名受害者接受了交叉质询，她指称自己曾三次遭到乌里比的袭击和抢劫，其中一次袭击发生在她的朋友们在购物买菜期间。

她告诉陪审团，当乌里比在强奸她并扇她耳光时，朋友们回来了并听到她的尖叫。证词称，当她们打开门时，乌里比跑向停车场，她们的司机试图阻止他离开，结果脚被乌里比的车碾过。

但在辩护律师迈克尔·克兰西的质询下，该受害者拒绝指认在场的朋友。当克兰西询问司机的姓名时，她回答道“他死了”。

“他在死之前有名字吗？”克兰西问。

“我不知道他的名字，”证人说，“是丽莎把他分配给我们的。”

丽莎出生于中国，在美国没有合法身份。她周一作证称，她与乌里比初次见面是在2021年，当时他在一家红屋顶旅馆（Red Roof Inn）付费与其发生性关系。他后来又来了几次，她很喜欢他——以至于当另一个女孩也引起他的注意时，她产生了嫉妒心。在得知他是一名联邦特工后，她曾短暂尝试寻求他在移民身份问题上的帮助。

“他说他是移民警察。我告诉他关于我的工作许可。我以为他能帮我，”丽莎作证道，并随后补充说他最终并没有提供帮助。

在作证的大部分时间里，丽莎低着头，有时通过点头回答，这导致律师多次提醒她必须大声回答。在某个时刻，她对克兰西关于她从事性工作的问题提出了异议，尤其是关于她与乌里比关系的细微差别。

“我不知道该怎么解释，”丽莎在证人席上低着头说道，“这是我的隐私。与本案无关。”

当克兰西继续追问乌里韦在两人见面时是否一直为性服务付费时，丽莎起初拒绝回答。

“这是我的工作。那是很多年前的事了，”她说，“我不想谈论这件事。”

美国地方法院法官豪尔赫·阿隆索（Jorge Alonso）告诉她：“你必须回答问题。律师有权对你进行质询。”

在重新质询阶段，美国助理检察官理查德·罗斯布拉特（Richard Rothblatt）询问丽莎关于在海鲜自助餐厅共进午餐的情况。她说，乌里韦从未否认参与过袭击。而在自助餐厅吃完午餐后，他几乎立即就利用了那个机会。

“他跟着我们回到了酒店，并与另外两名女性发生了性关系，”她说。

“他为此付费了吗？”罗斯布拉特问。

“没有，是免费的，”丽莎说。

周一晚些时候，检察官传唤了何塞·萨拉比亚（Jose Sarabia），他是一名北芝加哥警察局的侦探，与乌里韦的弟弟有姻亲关系。

萨拉比亚作证称，他在熊堡（Schaumburg）警方 2022. 10 月发布的公告照片中认出了乌里韦。在向陪审团展示的一段短信记录中，萨拉比亚建议乌里韦与警方取得联系。

“如果他们问你怎么知道的，就告诉他们有个警察朋友让你给他们打电话，”萨拉比亚在短信中写道。

“是的，但现在我需要找个律师，”乌里韦回复道，“如果我要和警察谈话，那不……伙计，我快疯了。”

“别紧张，”萨拉比亚回复道，并补充说公告中仅提到他“可能参与或未参与”。

几周后，萨拉比亚在参加一个侄子的生日派对玩沙包球时，与乌里韦简短地交谈了几句，并询问他是否已联系当局。萨拉比亚作证称，乌里韦只说“不要向”他的妻子提及此事，并且“他会处理好的”。

“他的神情如何？”检察官问。

“一如既往地冷静，”萨拉比亚作证道。

“布兰登路项目的停工令导致了昂贵且不必要的延误，使我们离入侵性鲤鱼给五大湖造成不可逆转的损害更近了一步，”五大湖联盟（Alliance for the Great Lakes）总裁兼首席执行官乔尔·布拉梅尔（Joel Brammeier）表示，“整个地区的压倒性响应——包括跨党派的国会五大湖工作组、五大湖各州、钓鱼者、船员、熟练建筑工人、环保组织以及许多五大湖地区的同胞——表明我们现在以及将来将继续团结一致支持这一关键项目。”

尽管该项目一直具有跨党派且广泛的支持，但自特朗普第二个任期开始以来，其资金和进展已成为他的政府与伊利诺伊州州长 JB 普利兹克（JB Pritzker）及密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默（Gretchen Whitmer）之间的争论点。

在特朗普与惠特默进行讨论后，停工令被撤销。

“既然施工可以恢复，我们将继续确保其保持在正轨上——无论是在施工现场还是在华盛顿特区，”布拉梅尔在上周的一份新闻稿中表示，“为了我们地区赖以生存的生态系统和经济，我们根本无法承受任何进一步的干扰。”

来自伊利诺伊州、密歇根州、威斯康星州、明尼苏达州、印第安纳州和俄亥俄州的五大湖环境组织从8月下旬开始呼吁，该项目应在没有进一步中断和额外成本的情况下继续进行。

“一旦入侵物种被引入，其入侵的环境将永远无法恢复原状，”谢德水族馆（Shedd Aquarium）政府事务与政策高级总监布莱恩·吉尔（Brian Gill）在8月26日的一份新闻稿中表示。“我们拥有多年的证据表明，非本土物种会永久改变食物网，在竞争中胜过本土物种，并危及我们赖以生存的水道的整体安全与稳定。经验也告诉我们，试图清理入侵物种带来的后果所花费的成本，远高于投资于前瞻性保护措施的成本。”

伊利诺伊州环境委员会（Illinois Environmental Council）首席执行官詹妮弗·沃林（Jennifer Walling）表示，该项目“代表了多年的跨党派协作，是对我们水道、社区和经济未来的关键共同投资。”俄亥俄州环境委员会（Ohio Environmental Council）政府事务副总裁斯宾塞·迪里格（Spencer Dirrig）则表示，这些鱼类“并不在乎琐碎的政治，它们也不会停止尝试进入五大湖。”

密歇根州和伊利诺伊州分别向该项目总额贡献了$64 million和5000万美元。2024, 5月，这两个州的国会议员确保了建设完成后运营与维护的联邦成本分担比例提高至90%。联邦政府还将承担该项目90%的建设成本；国会已为三个阶段中的第一阶段拨款2.74亿美元，该阶段于去年5月启动。

第一阶段涉及场地准备和基岩清除，以及安装一些多层技术，包括一个气泡屏障（用于清除被困在驳船下方或随其尾波携带的小鱼），以及一个声学威慑装置（为亚洲鲤鱼产生痛苦的声波；亚洲鲤鱼的内耳与鳔之间有特殊的连接，当它们听到巨大的噪音时会触发恐慌反应）。第二和第三阶段将包括电击屏障和更多的声学威慑装置。最后，一个冲刷闸门将把被困在商业驳船下的鱼苗和鱼卵送回下游。

这些在全美范围内泛滥的鲤鱼包括白鲢、花鲢、草鱼和黑鱼。这些鱼是在20世纪60年代被引入阿肯色州的水产养殖设施和污水池中，目的是在不使用化学药剂的情况下清除海藻。

但在20世纪80年代和90年代发生极端洪水事件后，这些鲤鱼逃入了世界第三大流域——密西西比河流域，并扩散到31个州。部分鱼类在育种实验失败后也被释放。

白鲢和花鲢对本土物种构成了特别威胁，因为它们在美国水道中没有天敌，而且可能永远不会有，这意味着它们的种群数量会不受控制地增长。

此外，它们不容易被捕获，因为它们对饵料不感兴趣；它们是滤食性动物，以水生食物链底端的浮游生物为食。由于数量庞大且繁殖能力强，白鲢和花鲢的进食速度可能超过本土鱼类和贻贝，导致后者被饿死。

在由州和联邦机构的生物学家及专家组成的监测小组8月份在伊利诺伊河的马赛员池（Marseilles Pool）发现幼年白鲢后，他们加强了对上游河流、其支流以及距离密歇根湖约50英里的德累斯顿岛池（Dresden Island Pool）的额外监测。

他们还在幼年鲤鱼喜好的回水栖息地实施电捕鱼——这是一种监测工具，通过船只发送电流使鱼类昏迷以便收集和清除。今年5月，陆军工程兵团的小组在卡卢梅特湖（Lake Calumet）进行了电捕鱼调查，该湖经由卡卢梅特河位于密歇根湖下游6英里处，结果未发现花鲢或白鲢。

专家们还在研究 8 月捕获鱼类的微化学分析（即对耳骨和鳞片中化学元素的分析），以了解它们的来源。

本月起，在拉萨尔县的 Starved Rock 和 Marseilles 水池，以及在德普莱恩河（Des Plaines River）与坎卡基河（Kankakee River）交汇处附近的德累斯顿岛（Dresden Island）水池，将恢复针对成年入侵鲤鱼的合同商业捕捞。已知这些地点存在成年入侵鲤鱼，但不存在多个生命阶段的幼鱼，因此鱼类生物学家认为这些种群尚未在当地定居。

过去 16 年的多机构监测表明，在伊利诺伊河下游 240 英里范围内（从 Peoria 水池一直延伸至其与密西西比河的交汇处），入侵鲤鱼种群已经定居，并在此沿线给当地经济和生态系统带来了巨大破坏。

约翰逊市长以充满敌意的演讲开启连任竞选

周日，布兰登·约翰逊市长在杜萨布尔黑人历史博物馆宣布竞选连任后，与支持者交谈。ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

我们曾希望在布兰登·约翰逊市长宣布竞选连任的演讲中，听到他从其任职三年多来的混乱局面中汲取到了教训。

然而，我们在周日听到的，是上周唐纳德·特朗普总统在达拉斯所展现之内容的左翼版本：挑起分歧，并将其对手妖魔化。

市长在周日启动竞选活动时，是否点名提到了任何一位已宣布参选的竞争对手？他没有。他唯一一次、且多次点名的人是迈克尔·萨克斯（Michael Sacks），这位亿万富翁私募股权高管在过去二十年里一直积极且勤勉地参与芝加哥的公民生活。

“当你听到有人想成为你的市长，他们声称自己是进步派，但却接受来自美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）、迈克尔·萨克斯、企业利益集团和壳公司政治行动委员会（PACs）的资金时，你就知道权力掌握在谁手中了。不是你，”约翰逊向数百名支持者宣称。

这个“有人”显然是指伊利诺伊州州务卿亚历克西·吉安诺利亚斯（Alexi Giannoulias），他在竞选初期的领先地位被广泛认可，但约翰逊没有勇气点名指责他。相反，他更倾向于让局面看起来像是他在与萨克斯竞争，而萨克斯与其他富有的芝加哥人一样，为吉安诺利亚斯提供了大量资金。

吉安诺利亚斯在本次竞选中没有从AIPAC（美国以色列公共事务委员会）那里拿过一分钱，但这并没有阻止市长试图将吉安诺利亚斯与中东的苦难联系起来。他这样做是为了迎合那些将巴勒斯坦事业和反对以色列视为核心议题的年轻进步主义者。

我们理解芝加哥政治的强硬本质，但在一个AIPAC并未参与的竞选中强行将其牵扯进来，更不用说妖魔化萨克斯和AIPAC所隐含的反犹主义意味，即便对于这座城市来说，这种行为也极其不体面。一名在任的芝加哥市长即便在政治竞选中，也不应如此卑劣。

显然，由于其任期内的记录是停滞与分裂，这位市长觉得他必须使用这种类似特朗普的攻击策略。我们看到，约翰逊在任职期间几乎将全部时间用于尝试勾选进步派的愿望清单，但大部分都以失败告终。

这些愿望包括一系列针对企业或富人的税收，这些税收在约翰逊就职前不久由其盟友发布的一份名为《首先我们要拿到钱》的报告中被臭名昭著地列出。其中绝大多数税项需要斯普林菲尔德（Springfield）的授权，尽管约翰逊多次恳求，但授权从未到来。清单上的最后一项——恢复并大幅提高针对芝加哥最大私营部门雇主提供的就业岗位所征收的所谓“人头税”——尽管约翰逊施压之猛烈甚至一度让城市处于政府停摆的边缘，但去年仍被市议会否决。

即便是一次早期的胜利——逐步取消针对小费员工的最低工资标准——也在今年早些时候被市议会暂停，因为议会担心社区餐厅会因此关闭。

约翰逊在周日最接近承认自己缺乏成就的话是说，“走过的路并不总是平坦的”。

这种说法过于委婉了。由于本届政府不受欢迎，市议员们出人意料地形成了一个实际运作的多数派，他们打造了一个类似于“常识党团”的组织，否决了市长的许多倡议。约翰逊没有尝试与其中一些人寻找共同点并建立自己的运作多数派，反而将他们嘲讽为“企业党团”。

他通常将这个词作为一种贬义词，不仅针对政治对手，还包括那些胆敢审视其优先事项并揭露其政府功能失调的媒体机构。

这再次体现了典型的特朗普式行为方式。

那么，回到我们最初讨论的问题：面对对其议程的所有这些抵制，市长从中学到了什么？至少从周日的表现来看，他的主要心得就是继续推行同样的做法，并用一种暗示对方并不像他那样希望芝加哥获得最佳结果的措辞，来谴责那些阻碍他的人。

最重要的是，这种指责行为正是这位市长在任期间表现最不足之处。我们之前说过，管理一座大城市并不是一项适合用极端意识形态视角来处理的工作。它从根本上是一个管理挑战——我们承认，对于任何市长来说这都极其困难，尤其是对于像芝加哥这样财政压力巨大的城市。这需要务实精神和灵活性。

当他试图说服芝加哥市民，接下来的四年不会像过去三年多那样陷入僵局且令人丧失信心时，约翰逊的首要任务应该是将那些与他意见不合的人仅仅视为意见不合的人。而不是恶人，也不是心怀叵测的人。

他们仅仅是同样热爱这座城市，并希望城市能够稳定和复兴的芝加哥同胞。

郊区征税机构是否了解房主房产税账单已经发生了什么？

对于许多芝加哥人来说，一个熟悉的旧循环是：20多岁在市区生活，结婚，也许生一两个孩子，然后最后搬到郊区。

虽然对于经济条件较为普通的人来说，许多更高端的郊区一直以来都遥不可及，但芝加哥大都会区（Chicagoland）无论远近，历史上都有许多宜居的角落，是年轻家庭能够负担得起并扎根的地方。

我们担心风向正在改变。

在新冠疫情 era 房价飙升之外，许多曾经以负担能力为特点的地方，正因为同样在飞涨的房产税，而将潜在的新邻居拒之门外。

这些税费似乎每年都在自行上涨（如果你在库克县，则是连续 32 年上涨），但一种新的力量在继续推高税额：令人恐惧的学区全民公投。

今年 11 月 3. 的选票中将出现几项此类公投。我们敦促选民不要忽视它们，尤其是那些已经感受到房产税压力的人。

District 214，涵盖了阿灵顿高地（Arlington Heights）、罗林梅多斯（Rolling Meadows）、芒特普罗斯佩克特（Mount Prospect）以及其他西北郊区大部分地区，希望借款 2.95亿美元。

代价是什么？根据该学区的说法，对于一套价值 $250,000 的房屋，每年将增加100美元；价值约 $396,000 的房屋增加 $170；价值 $500,000 的房屋增加 $218；价值 $750,000 的房屋增加 $335。这还不包括芒特普罗斯佩克特 District 57 的另一项当地公投，在那里，一套市场价值 $375,000. 的房屋，房主预计每年将被征收 $714。

这个地区的人们并不住在北岸（North Shore）最富有的封闭社区里。他们大多是从事普通工作的普通人，却被要求每年额外承担数百美元。

DuPage County 的 District 45 涵盖了埃尔姆赫斯特（Elmhurst）、隆巴德（Lombard）、维拉公园（Villa Park）和奥克布鲁克特拉斯（Oakbrook Terrace）的部分地区，该学区寻求每年增加 $4400万 的房产税。这看起来可能没那么可怕，但事实是，即使是这个数额，预计也会给一套约 $350,000. 的房屋每年增加 $299。

St. Charles District 303 请求借款 $28.25亿 用于设施改进。对于一套价值 $500,000, 的房屋，这意味着每年增加 $645。

这是一笔巨款。不仅如此，这还是在房主面临许多其他昂贵需求之上的额外负担。

每一年都很痛苦，但当房主在今年打开账单时，一种更明显的紧迫感油然而生。我们不将其完全称为恐慌，尽管一些家庭肯定会有这种感觉，而是一种悄然滋生的焦虑，让他们质疑自己在这里、在自己的家中、在自己的社区里，以及与他们已经熟识的邻居们共同生活的未来。他们还能负担得起多久？

诚然，大多数人会选择留在原地并勉强维持，但选择将郊区作为家园现在需要付出更多的牺牲。

够了，但这一切何时才会结束？管理这些学区的官员认为人们还能承受多少？

为什么牺牲感如此不对等？双方难道不应该共同分担负担吗？

人们在从市中心向外搬迁时达成的协议是：用与芝加哥的距离换取更安全的社区和更好的学校。我们希望维持协议的这一端。但问题日益凸显的是，我们如何在不倾家荡产的情况下做到这一点？

在支出方面可以做出哪些让步，从而能平等地服务于纳税人和政府服务？

因为现在，其中一方承受的损失远比另一方严重。

我们听说最近几周有人惊讶得目瞪口呆，因为郊区某些地区普通房屋的房产税账单跳涨了 $1,000. 以上。然而，如果 District 214 的公投通过，这些房产税纳税人将面临更高的账单。

在学区请求更多资金之前，房主需要得到保证：在要求我承担损失之前，你们在自己的端点上削减了哪些开支？

26年前的今天 NICOR，请在汞污染问题上采取果断行动

在处理公众对汞污染的担忧时，Nicor公司表现出一种拖延且接连令人尴尬的倾向。其矛盾的声明和缓慢的行动已导致州政府和联邦政府的调查、公众的愤怒，以及至少一起民事诉讼。……

这正是Nicor在两个月前发现问题后就应该做的事情，而无需法院的督促……

7月中旬，在发现室内燃气表或调节器拆除时导致汞泄漏并造成污染后，Nicor对芒特普罗斯佩克特（Mt. Prospect）和隆巴德（Lombard）的12栋房屋进行了清理。一个月后，该公用事业公司表示，11个郊区的87栋房屋可能会受到影响。

Nicor发言人李·海恩斯（Lee Haines）当时表示，“我们认为我们已经确定了真正需要检查的房屋。”这错得有多离谱？仅仅几周后，Nicor就不得不通知200,000名房主，他们的房屋需要进行可能的汞污染检测。该公司不得不承认，一些被拆除并处置的仪表内部仍含有汞。它不得不承认，在……发现了泄漏的汞。

起初，Nicor表示它对信息的掌控非常谨慎，因为它不想引起公众不安。但当房屋被塑料薄膜包裹，或者工作现场进行全天检查时，对于那些不知道自己是否处于风险之中的人们来说，恐惧和担忧会随之增加。

汞中毒会对大脑、肾脏、肺部以及发育中的胎儿造成永久性损害。……这使得污染的可能性成为一个根本性的安全与健康问题，必须准确地告知公众谁处于风险之中。然而，将Nicor告上法庭的伊利诺伊州总检察长吉姆·赖安（Jim Ryan）表示，该公司多次向执法部门提供不准确或不完整的信息。这种情况必须停止。

法院命令Nicor提交的首个截止日期是本周五，要求其确定可能受污染的地点。错过该截止日期意味着每天$5,000的罚款，对于一家价值十亿美元的公司来说，这不过是零钱。但真正的代价——问问福特、普利司通 / 火石、联合航空就知道了——是信任的丧失。

Nicor最好能赶上那个截止日期。 论坛报编辑委员会， Sept. 15, 2000

6月15.，自行车倡导者在布里奇波特（Bridgeport）社区的霍尔斯特德街（Halsted Street）举行集会，前往11区议员尼科尔·李（Nicole Lee）的办公室，以引起人们对赖利·奥尼尔（Riley O'Neil）之死以及自行车基础设施匮乏的关注。E. JASON WAMBSGANS / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

莱利·奥尼尔之死本可避免。我们不能削减安全街道的资金

作者：丹尼尔·拉·斯帕塔 (Daniel La Spata)、马特·马丁 (Matt Martin)、朱莉娅·拉米雷斯 (Julia Ramirez) 和 德斯蒙·扬西 (Desmon Yancy) 芝加哥论坛报

6月5日，芝加哥市政府雇员莱利·奥尼尔 (Riley O'Neil) 在骑行经过布里奇波特 (Bridgeport) 社区的霍尔斯特街 (Halsted Street) 时不幸丧生。作为一名经验丰富的骑行者以及芝加哥交通局 (CDOT) “完整街道”团队的成员，奥尼尔深知如何安全地骑行穿梭于街道之间。然而，由于缺乏安全的基础设施，一名司机在开车门时因疏忽将其打开，正好挡在奥尼尔的行进路径上，导致了致命的后果。

此类悲剧本是可以避免的。每年，芝加哥街头都有数十名步行者和骑行者丧生，另有数千人受重伤。同样，由于缺乏更好的基础设施设计和更强有力的投资，许多司机和乘客也在本可避免的交通事故中伤亡。

虽然芝加哥在减少道路致命事故方面取得了进展，但残酷的现实是，由于缺乏坚决的行动，事故率依然居高不下。

作为民选领导人，确保居民的公共安全是我们的责任。我们与十多位议员同事一起，支持一套政策建议，旨在确保像奥尼尔这样遭遇的悲剧成为过去。

每天，我们都与居民、当地企业、市政府机构和其他利益相关者合作，规划并实施我们选区内的道路项目。我们知道哪些措施有效。一个没有道路严重伤亡的城市是指日可待的。

为此，我们致力于采取以下立即行动——如果这些措施能早日实施，每一项都有可能避免奥尼尔的死亡。

1. 确保芝加哥交通局 (CDOT) 拥有充足的人员和资源：我们应当让 CDOT 免于市政府的招聘冻结，允许立即填补空缺职位。特别是，我们必须增加预算内的交通工程师人数，因为人员短缺已成为延迟所有交通研究和道路改进的瓶颈。总体而言，在即将到来的市政府预算过程中，我们必须维持——并在可能的情况下增加——CDOT 及资本改进项目的资金水平。

2. 通过市书记员办公室分享更多的自行车安全信息：我们致力于与书记员办公室合作，将道路安全信息纳入现有的居民沟通流程中，包括在居民每年办理车辆贴纸续期时，提供关于“荷兰式开车门”（Dutch reach，一种司机可采取的防止开车门伤人的步骤）的信息。

3. 扩大公平的交通执法：市议会应在今年秋季通过一项条例，使“智能街道试点计划” (Smart Streets Pilot Program) 成为永久项目，并制定将其扩展至全市的路径。此外，我们应重新致力于推动通过“执法公平”工作组提供的建议。

这三组立即行动仅仅是第一步。市议会、市长、市书记员和市政府机构需要进行长期且坚定的努力，以解决可避免的交通碰撞、伤害和死亡问题。在市议会开展 2027 年市政府预算工作之前，我们已将这些建议提交给了这些关键决策者。

通过共同努力，我们可以建成奥尼尔倾尽一生致力于打造的城市——一座为所有芝加哥人提供安全街道的城市。

议员丹尼尔·拉·斯帕塔代表第1选区。议员马特·马丁代表第47选区。议员朱莉娅·拉米雷斯代表第12选区。议员德斯蒙·扬西代表第 5 选区。

宣称芝加哥暴力事件有所减少还为时过早

作者：John Schmidt 特约撰稿人

芝加哥在夏季月份记录到 122 起谋杀案——这是自 1965 年以来最低的夏季总数——这一事实让一些人宣布取得了重大成功。但在 1965, ，芝加哥的人口比现在多 700,000 人。对比这两个夏季，人均谋杀率实际上高出了 25%。这种暴力率对家庭、朋友和邻居产生的影响——而非全市的总数——才是我们作为个人和社区所经历的。

更重要的是，现在关键的对比对象不是 60 年前的芝加哥，而是其他在商业、人口以及其他构成伟大城市要素方面与我们竞争的美国城市。这些城市也是衡量我们在每个社区能够且应该实现的公共安全水平的正确标准。

不幸的是，在今年前八个月中，芝加哥的谋杀总数与其他城市相比，情况比以往任何时候都要糟糕。

在前八个月里，芝加哥发生了 288 起谋杀案，远高于任何其他城市。名单上的下一个是洛杉矶，其人口比我们多 100 万 以上，发生了 192 起谋杀案。随后是纽约市，其人口是我们的三倍多，发生了 173 起谋杀案。

芝加哥的经济，或我们人口的任何社会或其他特征，都无法解释这些差异。从历史上看，这并非趋势；在 20 世纪 90 年代初，当芝加哥发生 900 起以上谋杀案时，纽约市发生了 2,200 起以上，洛杉矶则发生了 1,000. 起以上。芝加哥确实在 2007. 年将其谋杀总数降低到了 450 起。但随后在芝加哥，与那些城市不同，我们看到的枪支暴力下降趋势停止了。这是一种制度性的失败，而非任何外部力量的作用，我们对此负有责任。

一些较小的城市——如圣路易斯、阿拉巴马州的伯明翰和新奥尔良——的谋杀率高于芝加哥。但我们不应从共同的失败中获得任何安慰——而且这些城市在产生并维持像芝加哥这样伟大城市的关键增长类别中，并不是我们的竞争对手。

芝加哥的对比统计数据现在比以往任何时候都糟糕的原因之一，是因为包括芝加哥在内的全国各城市在近年来谋杀案数量显著下降。芝加哥已从 2023 年的 617 起谋杀案下降到去年的 416 起。在全国几乎所有其他城市，这种下降趋势一直持续到 2026. 年。但在芝加哥，下降已经停止，前八个月的谋杀总数与去年基本持平。

考虑到我们二十年前的历史，看到谋杀案的下降趋势在此停止是一个不祥的发展。

芝加哥大学犯罪实验室将芝加哥在这方面的异常状态部分归因于使用大容量弹匣以及可将其转换为自动射击的转换开关（switches）的枪支暴力日益普遍。库克县州检察官艾琳·伯克（Eileen Burke）已宣布一项政策，将采取行动拒绝给予任何被发现持有此类增强型枪支的人员审前释放，并寻求延长其监禁时间。芝加哥各级公职人员应反复支持并强化这一政策。

伊利诺伊州立法机关目前还面临一项由 G-PAC 和其他枪支管制团体支持的法案，该法案将禁止在伊利诺伊州销售易于通过转换开关改为自动射击的手枪，这种致命的增强功能对于自我防卫而言并非必要。该法案允许销售广泛的其他可用于自我防卫或其他合法目的的枪支。加利福尼亚州、康涅狄格州、纽约州和马里兰州已经通过了类似的法案。该伊利诺伊州法案在春季立法会议结束时已准备好通过，但被推迟了。州议会应当在 11 月的否决权会议期间通过该法案。

仅靠减少增强型枪支的可用性和使用量本身并不能完成任务。芝加哥警方、我们的州和联邦检察官，以及在社区中致力于减少暴力的团体，共同面临着一项关键任务，即让我们重新回到下降轨道，使我们有一天能够庆祝成功地将芝加哥的谋杀案和枪支暴力降低到目前在其他美国大城市所见的水平。

伊朗是否会演变成两线战争？

周四，在也门萨那的一次招募更多战士的集会上，效忠于胡塞当局的战士们正在行进。在经历了数年的平静之后，该国在7月重新陷入战争，被卷入了由美国-以色列针对伊朗的攻势所引发的地区冲突。MOHAMMED HUWAIS / GETTY-AFP

丹尼尔·德佩特里斯 (Daniel DePetris)

当美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特 (Scott Bessent) 上个月宣布一项针对伊朗的新经济压力计划时，目标很简单：在不诉诸于会导致中东重新陷入动荡的全规模战争的情况下，继续向德黑兰的经济施压。该战略旨在利用华盛顿作为全球最高金融强国的优势，同时削弱伊朗将霍尔木兹海峡作为人质的能力。这一点，结合美国海军引导油轮沿阿曼海岸航行的计划，将随着时间的推移瓦解德黑兰的筹码。

这是理论上的设想。但将其付诸实践的前提是，只要美国军队停止投弹，伊朗就得克制火力。然而事实并非如此。认为伊朗会在其经济日益接近崩溃时坐视不管的想法并不符合现实。

伊朗人并没有按照我们希望的方式行动，反而升级了局势。上周，伊朗革命卫队将目标对准了在波斯湾巡逻并执行美国对伊朗港口封锁的美国海军舰艇，迫使美国军队通过袭击伊朗油轮进行报复。伊朗的代理人也在大规模升级行动，瞄准该地区一些最关键的能源基础设施，并令沙特阿拉伯感到不安，后者面临着违背意愿被拖入美伊对抗的风险。

海湾地区最大的能源供应商现在正面临着两线战争的可能性。尽管伊朗对沙特领土的火力攻击在几个月前已经停止，但邻国也门的胡塞武装正越来越多地袭击红海中与沙特相关的油轮。

与伊拉克、科威特、巴林和卡塔尔不同，沙特阿拉伯能够通过将石油运输从霍尔木兹海峡转移到其西海岸的曼德海峡，维持战前约三分之二的石油出口。这条长约 750 英里的东西向管道对沙特人来说简直是天赐之福，因为他们仍然主要依赖石油收入来支撑预算，并资助其王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼 (Mohammed bin Salman) 计划在未来几年完成的大规模经济转型计划。

然而，即使是这条路线也受到了干扰。周五，与伊朗有关的伊拉克什叶派民兵袭击了东西向管道，导致其暂时关闭。一些石油行业内部人士表示，沙特需要五到六周时间进行维修，这一时间表将耗尽该国的剩余产能。更糟糕的是，胡塞武装在也门占领了新领土并获得了佩里姆岛 (Perim Island)，这是曼德海峡咽喉要道内的一块微小土地，使也门民兵在拦截油轮方面处于更有利的位置。

所有这些都加剧了全球石油市场的痛苦。国际能源署估计，海湾地区的石油流量直到 2027, 年才能恢复正常，而且即使是这个日期也是一个预测，可能会根据地区局势的发展而进一步推迟。

尽管遭遇这些挫折，唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府在谈话时仍表现得好像战争将在圣诞节前结束——或者，正如特朗普近期经常暗示的那样，在11月的中期选举之后结束。副总统 JD·万斯 甚至认为美国目前并未处于战争状态。国防部长皮特·海格塞斯 (Pete Hegseth) 似乎更关注发布关于加拿大军队的幼稚表情包，而非这场冲突。

与此同时，回到现实世界，美国在中东的军事部署正被延长至明年，美国高级官员几乎是在恳求国防承包商大量生产更多的防空导弹，以弥补五角大楼目前面临的短缺——而这一局面正是由于一场原本预计在四到六周内结束的“小规模出击”所导致的。在进入第七个月后，我们依然没有看到结束的迹象。

最近的胡塞武装攻势以及沙特阿拉伯最重要的一条管道的关闭，为特朗普政府已经难以应对的漫长问题清单又增加了新项。其中一些问题至关重要，触及了美国在中东大战略的核心，以及华盛顿执行该战略的可信度。沙特阿拉伯与美国的国防关系可追溯至 20 世纪 40 年代，而此次在沙特的袭击正揭示出长期支撑美沙关系的支撑点已变得日益脆弱。《卡特主义》规定，美国将把针对波斯湾石油供应的袭击视为对美国核心利益的袭击，但在该主义确立近 50 年后，它正在逐渐失效。美国的国防保护伞看起来不再像与伊朗战争开始前那样稳固，上周的事件进一步证实了这一事实。

因此，沙特阿拉伯和科威特等国正在与巴基斯坦等其他国家签署安全协议，以减少对一个几乎无法提供多少安全保障的安全伙伴的依赖。

对于特朗普来说，所有这些大局层面的事项都远不如战争本身重要。显而易见的是，特朗普为这个国家挖了一个深坑，而现在他正陷入极大的困境，不知如何从中脱身。他的所有选择本质上都不是好的，而只是程度不同的糟糕。进一步升级将引发伊朗方面的更多升级。回归谈判则面临着德黑兰对特朗普作为一名会履行签署协议的正直谈判者的完全不信任。而将霍尔木兹海峡交给伊朗控制，将永远毁掉他自诩的“交易大师”形象。

这就是在毫无必要的情况下头也不回地陷入战争所带来的后果。

枪支暴力的解决方案

在2001年9月11日，我们清晰地记得自己当时身在何处。我们中的一人当时在二年级的教室里，困惑于为什么学校提前放学。另一人则是一名刚出道的创伤外科医生，在开学第一天刚把儿子送到幼儿园。随着那混乱的一天展开，东海岸各地的医院在等待来自纽约市的病人，但那些病人再也没有出现。在过去的25年里，我们停下脚步，缅怀双子塔倒塌时失去的2,977条生命。这个国家仍在疗愈。

然而，一个比任何恐怖袭击或外国敌人都要巨大的威胁，至今仍在每天困扰着美国人：枪支。每年大约有48,000名美国人死于枪支——其中超过一半死于自杀，超过40%死于谋杀。2001年9月11日这样的惨剧每年必须每三周发生一次，才能与枪支造成的年度死亡人数相当。我们是如何纪念那些生命的？

虽然对悲剧进行排序并无益处，但如此持续、如此可预防且如此被忽视的伤亡人数，要求我们必须进行审视。十年来，美国参议员迪克·德宾（Dick Durbin）和美国众议员罗宾·凯利（Robin Kelly）一直推动一项决议，将六月定为“枪支暴力意识月”，以纪念逝者并号召国家做出改变。

在芝加哥，9月6日劳动节假期周末午夜后不久，联合中心社区西杰克逊大道2100街区一名42岁女性被枪杀，警员正在现场调查。ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

我们向那个恐怖之日里第一响应者的勇敢致敬。然而每一天，执法人员都在面对这样一个现实：在他们值勤期间，枪支是导致他们死亡的首要原因。

解决方案是存在的。在伊利诺伊州，一项名为《枪支立法责任法》的拟议法案将为那些产品导致枪支伤害最严重的制造商建立财务问责机制。得益于投资，社区暴力干预组织能够为最高危的个人和社区提供资源。在联邦层面，人们曾尝试废除《合法商业武器保护法》，该法案保护枪支制造商和经销商免于承担民事责任。

然而，进展正在被削弱。唐纳德·特朗普总统就任后，其政府立即关闭了白宫枪支暴力预防办公室。此后，政府将酒精、烟草、枪械及爆炸物管理局（ATF）的预算削减了四分之一以上，将许多ATF特工调往移民执法部门，废除了针对违反联邦法律的经销商的“零容忍”政策，并取消了曾经限制获取消音器和短管武器的税收。

我们希望，通过纪念9 / 11受影响的生命，也能带来可持续的改变，让我们只需记得日常枪支暴力的受害者，而不再增加这份名单。

寻找那些帮手

二十五年前，当听到纽约一架飞机撞入大楼的消息时，我和妻子的反应与其他人相似。听着广播，我们听到了快讯。以为可能是一架小飞机。我们继续阅读。更多，然后更多。也许我们应该打开电视。

我们花了一整天时间目睹这场悲剧。我们对双子塔倒塌以及随后发生的一切仍有深刻的记忆。最强烈且最感人的记忆是看到人们尽可能快地离开大楼区域以逃离危险的画面，而一队消防员正向着

危险行进。我的喉咙哽咽了。他们带着一个念头走向危险：他们去那里是为了帮助那些陷入困境的人。

感谢上帝有这样的人。那支队伍中的一些人可能再也没能回来。

巧合的是，在9 / 11事件发生后不久，我们当时在市中心，一辆消防车接到指令驶过。我见过数百辆消防车和警车在执行任务时驶过，但这一次，感觉截然不同。我想到了那些在9 / 11期间向危险进发的人们。我的喉咙再次感到一阵哽咽。

如今的警察和消防员，就像那天一样，不知道他们将面临什么。他们前去是因为被需要，因为他们想要提供帮助。

再次感谢上帝，有这样的人存在。

我们的学生需要我们

大约 2 in 5 芝加哥公立学校学生每年缺课 18 天以上，这个数字应该让任何一个芝加哥人感到震惊。

当学生不就学时，他们失去的不仅仅是课堂教学，还失去了对他们成长至关重要的资源和人际关系。

学生们面临着许多干扰出勤的挑战，从社区暴力到青少年心理健康危机。但自疫情后长期缺勤现象激增以来，这已成为我们的学生无法摆脱的问题。

对于一些年轻人来说，障碍是前往学校的交通，或是帮助他们准备就绪的衣物和卫生用品。对于另一些人来说，则是心理健康问题或情感困扰，使得到校成为一项挑战。而对一部分人而言，则是缺乏社区和家庭的参与。

这需要有人愿意与这些年轻人建立关系，并将他们与所需的资源和支持联系起来。这就是为什么积极的人际关系是解决长期缺勤的一种强有力且经证明有效的方案。

这种情况可能是：

一名在校外经历严重焦虑的六年级学生，由一名关心的成年人在那里接她，陪她走进校门，直到她能够独立走进去。一名曾经积极进取但因家庭丧亲而缺课的高二学生，由一名提供支持的专业人士帮助她获得自我护理和悲伤辅导资源，以让她重回正轨。一名在春假后感到沮丧的八年级学生，因为一名航空公司飞行员在学校做演讲而对到校产生了兴趣。

在展望本学年时，我们如何才能改变那 2-in-5 的统计数据？我们如何才能确保更多学生准备好学习并来到学校？

更多的成年人，即普通的芝加哥市民，可以与年轻人建立这种强有力的、一对一的关系。方法如下：

理解每个年轻人都是独特的，他们面临的挑战也各不相同。减少长期缺勤必须采取量身定制的方法，并由人际关系驱动。

了解您社区的需求。与学校和社区组织联系，看看您如何支持现有的努力。

参与其中。无论是担任导师、做志愿者、在资金上支持某个组织，还是与青少年建立关系，您的行动——无论大小——都能增强年轻人的连接感和归属感。这将带来更多的学习，更多的学生毕业，并为我们所有人创造一个更好、更强大的芝加哥。 —— 简·门辛格（Jane Mentzinger），芝加哥社区学校（Communities In Schools of Chicago）首席执行官

解释法律，而非暗示

关于《伊利诺伊州“死亡权”法与“拒绝权”的碰撞》（9月 11 日）：《论坛报》编辑委员会与其对未来可能发生的事情进行阴暗的暗示，不如通过指出“德布法”（Deb’s Law）——伊利诺伊州新的医疗辅助死亡法——的核心要素，来提供更好的公共服务。

没有人仅凭年龄或残疾就符合条件。绝对如此。根据两名医生的审慎判断，你必须处于末期疾病状态，且在未来六个月内因潜在疾病死亡的可能性较大。你必须是成年人且具备心理能力——换句话说，你知道自己在做什么，并且是在做出知情选择。而且

——这是防止强迫或虐待的最终保障——你必须亲自服用所需的药物。医疗辅助死亡是你自己执行的行为，而不是别人强加于你的行为。

我们都希望拥有长寿健康的生活，并在时日将至时平静地离世。然而，有时死亡的过程可能是地狱般的，在终点临近时，做出这样的决定是非常理性的：够了，我已经受够了，我只想结束我的痛苦。

这是一个个人选择——事实上，这是最私人的选择。

我是一名保守主义者，我信仰有限政府、个人自由、个人权利和个人责任。我对我们伊利诺伊州的新法律感到自豪，并且我认为它与我们最优秀的自由传统完全一致。 —— 爱德华·戈戈尔（Edward Gogol），水晶湖

宗教干预

关于宗教界反对伊利诺伊州医疗辅助死亡法的观点：“我不能这样做，因为我的宗教禁止这样做”是宗教自由；而“你不能这样做，因为我的宗教禁止这样做”则是专制主义。

—— 柯林·C·坎贝尔（Colin C. Campbell），日内瓦

鲍勃·麦基（BOB MACKIE） 1939-2026

为雪儿等明星打造服装的设计师定义了20世纪70年代的魅力

作者：马克·肯尼迪 (Mark Kennedy) 美联社

Bob Mackie与歌手雪儿 (Cher) 出席活动。这位时尚设计师于周一去世，享年87. EVAN AGOSTINI / INVISION 2018

纽约——时尚设计师 Bob Mackie 周一去世，享年87岁。他那极具视觉冲击力的好莱坞风格定义了20世纪70年代的魅力——包括为卡罗尔·伯内特 (Carol Burnett) 设计一些最古怪的装扮，以及为雪儿 (Cher) 设计最大胆的服装。

他的公关人员表示，他因肺炎在加利福尼亚州棕榈泉去世。

Mackie 被誉为“明星设计师”，曾获得九项艾美奖、一项托尼奖，并获得三次奥斯卡奖提名，其中包括为芭芭拉·史翠珊 (Barbra Streisand) 在电影《有趣的女人》(Funny Lady) 中设计的透明蝙蝠翼礼服。他于2002年入选电视艺术与科学学院名人堂。

他曾为麦当娜 (Madonna)、莎朗·斯通 (Sharon Stone)、戴安娜·罗斯 (Diana Ross) 和朱莉娅·路易斯-德雷弗斯 (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) 设计礼服，并为 P!nk 设计演唱会服装。1962年，玛丽莲·梦露 (Marilyn Monroe) 在一场为总统约翰·F·肯尼迪 (John F. Kennedy) 和民主党全国委员会举办的筹款活动上，以慵懒且诱人的方式演唱《生日快乐》时，身穿的就是由 构思的一件透明缀珠礼服。

他的影响力可见于肯德尔·詹娜 (Kendall Jenner) 和贝拉·哈迪德 (Bella Hadid) 的风格。如今，安雅·泰勒-乔伊 (Anya Taylor-Joy)、麦莉·赛勒斯 (Miley Cyrus) 和赞达亚 (Zendaya) 等人也穿着他的档案作品。当泰勒·斯威夫特 (Taylor Swift) 希望在2025年专辑《秀女生活》(The Life of a Showgirl) 的封面上看起来像一名秀女时，她选择了 的原件。

亮片和装饰是他的天然工具——他的其他绰号还包括“亮片苏丹”、“水钻拉贾”和“闪光大师”——但他有一个简单的座右铭：“你不需要试图改变任何人，你只需要尝试让他们看起来比以往任何时候都更好，”他在2018年告诉美联社。

在百老汇， 为1971年的《在城里》(On the Town) 和1995年的《水牛之月》(Moon Over Buffalo) 的演员设计服装。他还为综艺剧《组合在一起》(Putting It Together) 中的伯内特、1976年《黛比》(Debbie) 中的黛比·雷诺兹 (Debbie Reynolds)、1999年《明内利谈明内利》(Minnelli on Minnelli) 中的莉莎·明内利 (Liza Minnelli) 以及最近的《雪儿秀》(The Cher Show) 剧组设计服装，并因此获得了托尼奖。

Robert Gordon 于1939年3月24日出生在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷公园，父亲查尔斯·麦基 (Charles ) 在美国银行工作，母亲是米尔德里德·麦基 (Mildred ，原姓史密斯)。作为南加州原住民， 在孩提时代就受到彩色电影音乐剧的启发，迷上了好莱坞电影的魅力。他会为母亲和姐姐构思复杂的服装并将其画下来，并且积极参与高中的服装和场景设计。他曾在帕萨迪纳城市学院学习广告和插画，随后在洛杉矶的舒纳德艺术学院 (Chouinard Art Institute) 学习服装设计。

他从小也是20世纪50年代和60年代所有综艺节目和流行明星的粉丝——尤其是他们华丽的衣橱。他曾为服装设计师伊迪丝·海德 (Edith Head) 工作，随后获得了《卡罗尔·伯内特秀》(The Carol Burnett Show) 的工作机会。

他与伯内特关系密切，并共同创作了令人难忘的角色，例如诺拉·德斯蒙德 (Nora Desmond)、尤妮斯 (Eunice)，以及她对《飘》(Gone With the Wind) 中斯嘉丽·奥哈拉 (Scarlett O'Hara) 的演绎——被称作“星女奥哈拉” (Starlet O'Hara)——穿着一件挂在窗帘杆上的绿色窗帘裙。

“我喜欢做有趣的事情，” 在1999年接受美联社采访时说，“这周我可能得把卡罗尔打扮成一个不讨喜的邮政工作人员，而谁知道下周我得做什么。”（“星女”的裙子现在是史密森尼国家美国历史博物馆的馆藏。）

在雪儿在伯内特的节目中亮相并对他产生好感后， 的电视作品在《桑尼与雪儿秀》(The Sonny and Cher Show) 中得以延续。他曾表示，雪儿饰演的 Laverne 角色，穿着豹纹连体裤并佩戴长耳环，是他最喜欢的作品之一。

Mackie还为美泰公司（Mattel）设计了数十款不同的芭比娃娃，涵盖了多种面部雕刻、体型和故事线。他被认为是第一位设计出完整娃娃的设计师。其中一款是“德古拉夫人雪儿”（Lady Dracula Cher），带有小小的婴儿牙，其包装盒像一口棺材。

Mackie在1960年至1963年期间与歌舞女郎露露·波特（Lulu Porter）结婚。他们的儿子、化妆师小罗伯特·戈登·麦基（Robert Gordon Mackie Jr.）在35岁时死于艾滋病。服装设计师雷·阿加扬（Ray Aghayan）是鲍勃·麦基（Bob Mackie）的长期伴侣，他于2011年去世。

加莫兰，希勒尔拉比 (Gamoran, Rabbi Hillel)

纳撒尼尔·希勒尔·加莫兰 (Nathaniel Hillel Gamoran) 拉比，享年 97 岁，于 2026 年 9 月 13 日在家人的温暖怀抱中安详离世。作为犹太价值观和普世价值观的终身倡导者，他在犹太会堂、从幼儿园到大学校园的教室、夏令营以及我们国家的街道上，都展现了领导力与正直的典范。

希勒尔于 1929 年 5 月 13 日出生在辛辛那提，父母是著名的犹太教育家埃马纽埃 (Emanuel) 和玛米 (Mamie, 婚前姓 Goldsmith) 加莫兰。他与兄弟姐妹卡米 (Carmi) 和朱迪 (Judy) 在一个充满活力的犹太家庭中长大，每天晚餐后都要学习希伯来语。希勒尔是经典书籍《希勒尔的快乐假期》(Hillel's Happy Holidays) 中同名主角的原型，该书由其母亲撰写，被犹太宗教学校的几代孩子阅读。

作为一名终身运动员，希勒尔在核桃山高中 (Walnut Hills High School) 期间打篮球和网球，并于 1947 年毕业；直到 90 多岁时，人们仍能看到他在网球场上。他就读于辛辛那提大学，主修数学，原计划成为一名化学工程师。然而，在 1951 年毕业后不久，他感受到了不同的召唤，于是进入希伯来联合学院-犹太宗教研究所 (Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion) 学习成为一名改革派拉比。与此同时，在一家犹太过夜营地担任夏季工作人员期间，他被另一位辅导员朱迪斯·哈尔佩林 (Judith Halperin) 所吸引，两人于 1953 年结为夫妻。希勒尔和朱迪斯在 1953-1954 年期间住在以色列，随后希勒尔恢复了拉比研究；这是他们多次访问以色列的第一次，他们在那里感受到了持久的联系。希勒尔和朱迪斯拥有近 70 年的恩爱婚姻，直到她于 2023 年去世。

希勒尔于 1956 年获得授职，首先在新泽西州莫里斯敦的 B'nai Or 圣殿服务，随后在伊利诺伊州霍夫曼庄园的 Beth Tikvah 会堂担任首席拉比，这段经历定义了他的职业生涯。他在 Beth Tikvah 担任领导职务的 34 年间深受爱戴，涵盖了犹太生活的方方面面，其中尤以卓越的宗教学校著称。将希伯来语作为活语言来学习是 Beth Tikvah 学校的标志性特点，而学生们用全希伯来语表演戏剧的八年级毕业典礼更是令人难忘的盛事。希勒尔还将他对犹太教育的承诺带到了 Olin Sang Ruby Union 研究所营地，在那里，他促成了希伯来语沉浸式项目 Chalutzim 的培育，数百名犹太青少年通过该项目加强了与犹太民族的纽带。

在担任拉比期间，希勒尔一直是一位活跃的学者。他于 1966 年获得 Spertus 犹太研究学院的希伯来文学博士学位，并于 1971 年在《近东研究杂志》(Journal of Near Eastern Studies) 上发表了关于圣经时代高利贷主题的论文。随后，他发表了一系列关于犹太历史上高利贷法律的文章，并在 2006 年出版了《转型中的犹太法》(Jewish Law in Transition) 一书，阐述了犹太法如何演变以适应当时的经济现实。从 Beth Tikvah 退休后，希勒尔在华盛顿大学西雅图分校担任了十多年的拉比文学客座讲师。

希勒尔对社会正义的承诺堪称传奇。令人难忘的是，他参加了 1963 年的华盛顿大游行、1965 年的塞尔玛游行，以及多次反对越南战争以及后来反对伊拉克战争的抗议活动。他向他的会众阐述了为什么犹太价值观促使他投身于民权和和平事业。在以色列问题上，他同样是和平的倡导者；正如一位同事所写：“希勒尔争取到了数百名美国拉比的支持，以反对以色列对约旦河西岸持续的占领，并致力于寻求中东冲突的‘两国方案’。”

幸存者包括他的子女及其配偶：亚当·加莫兰（玛拉）、索尔·加莫兰（德沃拉）、鲁本（朱莉·加尔顿）和米里亚姆·谢林（布鲁斯·谢林）；以及十二个孙辈：乔尔·M.（布里奇特·霍夫曼）、丹尼尔（玛丽）、娜奥米（约书亚·斯莫莱维茨）、乔尔·B.（安吉奥莉娜）、亚历克斯（安德烈亚）、艾琳·哈伯（埃里克）、杰西（麦克·舒默）、艾萨克、莎拉、利亚·谢林、米娅·谢林和阿基瓦·谢林；以及十二个曾孙辈。在希莱尔之前去世的还有他的妻子、父母、兄弟姐妹、一名儿媳谢里以及一名孙女肖娜。

葬礼服务将于9月15日，星期二，中部时间上午11:00在伊利诺伊州霍夫曼庄园希尔克雷斯特大道300号（300 Hillcrest Blvd, Hoffman Estates, IL 60169）的贝斯·蒂克瓦会堂（Beth Tikvah Congregation）举行。葬礼将在希莱尔的网页 www.goldmanfuneralgroup.com 上进行直播。随后将于周三在纽约市纽约州皇后区的联合田野公墓（Union Field Cemetery）举行安葬仪式。希瓦（Shiva）悼念活动将于周三在纽约市举行，周四和周五在芝加哥地区举行。

纪念希莱尔的捐款可捐赠至贝斯·蒂克瓦会堂（www.beth-tikvah.org）或奥林-桑-鲁比联合学院（osrui.org）。详情咨询：Goldman殡葬集团 847-478-1600。

Ruenne, George G

George G. Ruenne 于 2026 年 9 月 7 日在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特的家中因长期患病去世，享年 75 岁。

在芝加哥长大，就读于 Lane Tech 高中，在游泳和跳水方面表现出色，并赢得了许多校内和全市的奖项。

的职业生涯始于中西部股票交易所（Midwest Stock Exchange），负责操作 IBM / 360 大型机，后来在 CNA 工作，并担任一家全国性数据中心的副总裁。

他对水的热爱引导他在密歇根湖上追求帆船运动，他的第一艘帆船名为 ISOE（In Spite of Everything），后来是 Dragonbreath。在芝加哥游艇俱乐部前往麦基诺岛的比赛中，他率领船队度过了许多成功的年份。

被人们铭记为一位亲爱的朋友、兄弟和叔叔。他的妹妹和两个侄子在世。

JCPenney 将在福特城附近增设门店

伯班克门店将取代因室内购物中心关闭而失去的店址

作者 Brian J. Rogal 芝加哥论坛报

据公司发言人称，JCPenney 计划在未来几个月内开设一家新店，以取代其在芝加哥福特城购物中心（Ford City Mall）的长期店址。

位于南西塞罗大道 7601 号（7601 S. Cicero Ave.）的这座巨大的室内购物中心因环境不安全且消防系统故障，于 6 月被县法院法官下令关闭，结束了其作为该地区领先零售目的地的 60 年统治地位。

这家百货连锁店的新店址将位于郊区伯班克的南西塞罗大道 8148 号（8148 S. Cicero Ave.），距离关闭的购物中心向南约半英里。

“JCPenney 在芝加哥地区拥有庞大且忠实的客户群，我们期待继续为他们服务，”该发言人表示。

根据 CoStar 的数据，JCPenney 的新店址是一栋面积为 39,000 平方英尺的建筑，最近由 Dave's Furniture & Mattress Outlet 使用。此前，JCPenney 在福特城占据的面积约为 180,000 平方英尺。

Matanky Realty Group 高级副总裁 Terri Cox 表示，该公司选择缩小经营规模并不令人惊讶。许多零售商正在放弃巨大的门店，转而选择较小的店址，将最畅销的产品摆上货架，其他产品在线销售，并将大部分库存存放在仓库中。

“仓库的租金比大型购物中心的租金低得多，”她说。

JCPenney 在芝加哥地区另有 14 家门店。在面积 120 万 平方英尺的福特城综合体于 1965 年作为购物中心重新开放后，它成为了该中心的主力店。该综合体在第二次世界大战期间曾是轰炸机的制造基地。

福特城在鼎盛时期拥有 100 多家门店，但在线零售的兴起导致其内部大片区域完全空置。总部位于纽约的 Namdar Realty Group（一家以收购陷入困境的零售资产著称的投资公司）在 2019 年以约 1600万美元 的价格将其买下。

雅培实验室同意婴儿配方奶粉和解方案

公司就粉末产品的安全性同意支付 3.85亿美元

作者：Lisa Schencker 芝加哥论坛报

雅培实验室（Abbott Laboratories）已同意支付近 3.85亿美元，以解决一项联邦调查和诉讼，以及各州提起的一系列诉讼，这些法律行动均与该公司粉末婴儿配方奶粉的安全指控有关。

总部位于北郊的雅培公司在 2022 年召回了相关配方奶粉，此前有报告称，食用该产品的婴儿因感染克罗诺巴克特菌（Cronobacter sakazakii）和纽波特沙门氏菌（Salmonella Newport）而出现疾病和死亡。此次召回导致全美各地的父母在一段时间内难以给婴儿找到配方奶粉。

美国政府在诉讼中指称，雅培在向政府计划提交其配方奶粉的申报时提交了虚假主张，因为该公司未能“在能够防止微生物污染风险的条件下”生产其配方奶粉。

“今天的和解是对美国家庭的胜利，并明确了我们孩子的安全是不容谈判的，”代理副司法部长特伦特·麦考特（Trent McCotter）在美国司法部（DOJ）的一份新闻稿中表示。

此次和解不包含任何关于过错或责任的认定。雅培表示，政府已关闭针对此事的刑事调查。

“没有什么比雅培产品的安全和质量更重要，”雅培在周一发布的另一份新闻稿中表示。“我们以对待自己家人的同样细心来生产婴儿配方奶粉，并致力于赢得并维持护理者的信任。”

雅培指出，从未有分发且未开封的雅培婴儿配方奶粉在检测中呈克罗诺巴克特菌或纽波特沙门氏菌阳性。美国疾病控制与预防中心此前表示，尚未发现克罗诺巴克特菌病例与位于密歇根州斯特吉斯（Sturgis）的生产设施之间存在明确联系，尽管美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）的检查发现了该工厂存在的问题。

政府在起诉书中指称，该设施的情况包括屋顶漏水导致水滴在设备上，以及用于将液体配方奶粉转化为干粉的喷雾干燥机出现裂缝等问题。

根据 FDA 的说法，克罗诺巴克特菌可引起危及生命的感染或脑膜炎。症状可能包括喂养不良、易怒、体温变化、黄疸、喘息和异常动作。它还可能导致肠道损伤并扩散到身体其他部位。沙门氏菌可引起腹泻、发烧和腹部绞痛，严重病例可能导致嗜睡、皮疹、尿液或粪便中带血，有时甚至导致死亡。

在 3.85亿美元 的和解金中，超过 $34800 万 将交给美国政府以解决虚假主张的指控。约 3600万美元 将交给某些州。而举报—

Lurie儿童医院重回全美排行榜

出版物将该医院 列为全美同类医院 前11名之列

作者：Lisa Schencker 芝加哥论坛报

根据《美国新闻与世界报道》（U.S. News & World Report）的数据，Lurie儿童医院在多年后首次重新进入全美顶尖儿童医院名单。

《美国新闻》将Lurie列入今年的荣誉名单，这意味着该机构认为Lurie位列全美前11家儿童医院之列。

尽管《美国新闻》长期将Lurie评为伊利诺伊州排名第1的儿童医院，但在连续多年上榜后，该院自2018年起便未再进入该出版物的荣誉名单。伊利诺伊州没有其他儿童医院进入该机构的荣誉名单。

今年，Lurie与另外两家位于俄亥俄州的医院并列为中西部地区最佳儿童医院，而去年其在中西部的排名为第三。

“能进入荣誉名单，尤其是成为州内第一，我们显然感到无比、无比自豪，”Lurie首席医疗官Marcelo Malakooti博士表示。他将Lurie的进步归功于对质量、安全和疗效的关注，以及不断寻求改进机会。

他表示，这些排名对于“必须做出极其艰难决定的家庭”来说是一种认可。

“这能给他们提供一种保证，即如果他们在为孩子寻找最好的护理，那么荣誉名单就是一个衡量标准，”Malakooti说道。

《美国新闻》将芝加哥大学医学中心Comer儿童医院评为伊利诺伊州第2大儿童医院，该荣誉已连续六年获得。Comer今年的中西部排名为第14位，比去年上升了两名。

为了制定排名，《美国新闻》与总部位于北卡罗来纳州的研究公司RTI International共同收集并分析了114家儿童医院的数据，并对数千名儿科专家进行了调查。他们考量的因素包括患者生存率、感染率、人员配置以及对最佳实践的遵循情况。

《美国新闻》是每年对医院进行排名和评级的众多机构之一，每个团体使用自己的方法论。医院往往非常关注排名，表现优秀的医院会在广告中宣传这些排名以吸引更多患者。

医疗专家表示，消费者在选择就医地点时，应将排名和评级作为一项参考信息，并结合医疗保险覆盖范围、便利程度以及医生的建议。

《美国新闻与世界报道》的健康分析主管Ben Harder表示，今年的荣誉名单包含了11家医院而非通常的10家，因为有两家医院并列第10名。该机构不对荣誉名单内部的具体排名进行公开标注。

Harder表示，Lurie在某些专科领域的进步帮助其在今年重回荣誉名单。例如，在胃肠病学和胃肠外科领域，其全美排名从第11位上升至第6位，部分原因是肝移植后的生存率有所提高。此外，Harder指出，在新生儿学领域，由于感染预防能力的提升，Lurie的全美排名从第23位跃升至第10位。

Malakooti表示，医院将继续专注于质量、安全和疗效，不断寻找改进机会。

Lurie在肾脏病学方面全美排名第八，神经病学和神经外科排名第六，泌尿外科排名第三。Lurie共有11个专科排名全美前50名。

Comer有四个专科排名全美前50名，高于去年的三个。

“我们对所有项目所取得的进展感到自豪，我们将继续专注于增强治疗效果、推进科学发现，并确保每一位来到我们这里的孩子都能获得最高质量的护理，”科默（Comer）的首席医师、芝加哥大学儿科系主任约翰·坎宁安（John Cunningham）博士在新闻稿中表示。

科技派系质疑限制AI增长的呼吁

Anthropic首席执行官文章的批评者称安全担忧被夸大了

作者：Kalley Huang 和 Mike Isaac 《纽约时报》

旧金山 —— 上周末，硅谷知名人士仅用了几个小时就对领先的人工智能公司呼吁放缓AI开发并加强技术监管的请求做出了反击。

周六，Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊（Dario Amodei）在一篇文章中表示，AI的进步速度太快，以至于研究人员无法在保证安全的情况下继续构建它。他建议由独立审计员监督AI实验室的安全工作，并建议监管机构允许各实验室共同协作以协调安全标准。

尽管在具体应对措施上似乎存在分歧，但OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）、SpaceX首席执行官伊隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）以及Google DeepMind主席德米斯·哈萨比斯（Demis Hassabis）均表示，他们同意需要放缓速度。

但其他科技行业领导者迅速对阿莫代伊的动机提出质疑，认为他是否在夸大AI风险，从而增加其他公司与领先AI公司竞争的难度。

“停止伪装成放缓速度的动机纯粹是为了利他，”唐纳德·特朗普总统的科技顾问、白宫前AI与加密货币主管大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks）在社交媒体帖子中表示。

对放缓呼吁的批评凸显了深层分歧：一方认为政府应该监管AI，而另一方则认为监管干预将扼杀竞争。

由于有关Anthropic的主要竞争对手OpenAI构建的AI如何失控并入侵另一家公司的细节浮出水面，近几周人们对AI安全性的担忧引起了更广泛的关注。几天前，阿莫代伊的一名员工辞职并开始发起公开施压活动，以引起人们对AI风险的关注。

但包括几位一直为特朗普政府提供科技政策建议的人员在内的许多科技行业领导者认为，这些担忧被夸大了。

经常批评阿莫代伊的萨克斯质疑，既然没有什么能阻止科技公司放缓AI开发，为什么它们还需要政府干预——尤其是当它们在追求创建所谓“超智能”（即远比人类智能的AI）这一极具野心的目标时。

“不构建超智能最简单的方法就是你们同意不构建它，”他补充道。“将你们偏好的监管框架作为达成此目标的条件，看起来就像是在敲诈公众和政治体制。”

微软首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉（Satya Nadella）在周日的社交媒体帖子中表示，他的公司支持独立审计员等提案，以及“为使之不再仅仅停留在口头阶段而开发机制的更广泛努力”。

“我们还需要加速并推广AI的益处，使其广泛地扩散到各个国家、社区和公司，”纳德拉说。“关键在于，这不能由少数几个实体控制，而必须具有广泛的代表性，”他补充道。

食品储藏室将预装袋改为购物车

新泽西州非营利组织效仿 Trader Joe's 模式改造食品银行，以减少预包装带来的浪费

作者：Caitlyn Freeman 《纽约时报》

新泽西州纽瓦克 —— 在纽瓦克的 Champion House 食品储藏室，组织者注意到一些人会翻找预包装的援助袋，然后将部分食物扔在人行道上。他们将此视为传统食品银行模式失效的信号。

“通过给每个人发放同样的东西，我们浪费了更多的食物，因为有时他们并不需要全部内容，”运营该储藏室的非营利组织 United Community Corp. 的执行董事 Craig Mainor 表示。

今年 7 月，该组织将 Champion House 改造为 Market at UCC。该市场效仿 Trader Joe's 的模式 —— 将预先填满的袋子改为购物车，让顾客可以从货架上选择他们想要的物资并装车。

随着食品价格上涨以及联邦食品券福利的削减，人们越来越多地转向食品储藏室。像 United Community Corporation 这样基于选择的模式，可以帮助新用户和常客获得一种自主感。

“我们试图做的是，并且希望能够实现的是，为人们创造一个获取他们所需之物的机会，而不是必须获取我们想要他们获取的东西，”Mainor 说。“此外，能够为他们提供一个有尊严地购物的机会，而不是仅仅接受所谓的施舍。”

项目协调员 Sarah Allen 表示，Market at UCC 每周运营三天，每天服务约 60 户家庭。这次改造是她的主意；她希望模仿她参观过的类似项目，例如田纳西州纳什维尔的 Store。该市场在预约情况下，于上午 10 点至下午 2 点开放。

该市场储备了基础物资 —— 乳制品、谷物、肉类和农产品 —— 同时还提供非必需品，如糖果、椰子水和罐装辣酱。大部分食物由 Trader Joe's、ShopRite 和 Stop & Shop 等杂货商捐赠。Panera Bread 则提供贝果和烘焙食品。

在最近的一个周三，一个货架上摆放着尿布和 Arizona Iced Tea 水果零食，另一个货架上则在烤燕麦麦片附近摆放着 Bowl and Basket 即食土豆泥。选品根据捐赠情况而变化。

Allen 在设计商店时，还借鉴了她曾在 Trader Joe's 担任员工的经验。

顾客在进入时会受到微笑员工的迎接，店内有手绘的农产品壁画和一个免费花架。办理登记后，他们可以随意拿一个由 Dollar Tree 购物车改造的推车在货架间漫步。穿着罩衫的志愿者在店内走动，随时准备提供帮助。

“我认为人们应该仍然能够拥有这种选择权，在这样一个让他们感到舒适且有尊严的环境中，为他们的家庭购买真正需要的东西，”她说。

该市场还旨在成为一个资源中心，设有免费图书馆并提供引导申请联邦援助的方法。此外，还计划举办营养和烹饪课程。

据 UCC 通讯主管 Tom Wiedmann 称，这家免费商店每年的运营成本约为 $500,000，比该组织传统的储藏室模式多出约 $200,000。

8月 19.，芝加哥已关闭的福特城购物中心（Ford City Mall）。ANTONIO PEREZ / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

芝加哥官员最终对业主提起诉讼，指称福特城购物中心深受漏水、电线外露、环境肮脏和照明不足的困扰。今年早些时候，市政府请求库克县法官伦纳德·默里（Leonard Murray）永久关闭该物业。

JCPenney 在整个春季期间进行了反击，告诉默里法官，其福特城门店状况良好，且在西南区居民中依然受欢迎。

默里允许 JCPenney 和其他几家门店运营几个月，但最终支持市政府，命令 Namdar 在 6月 22 前关闭该购物中心。

芝加哥规划委员会在 8月 批准了一项拆除该购物中心，并将其替换为一组仓库和配送建筑的计划。许多附近居民声称，新仓库将给社区带来排放柴油废气的卡车，因此反对这项 2亿美元 提案。该项目仍需获得市议会的批准。

考克斯（Cox）表示，福特城购物中心的消失并不意味着当地零售业处于剧烈衰退之中。她指出，像福特城这样的大型室内购物中心在加热和冷却方面的成本很高，因此许多此类中心陷入困境或关闭，但零售商在规模较小的露天中心依然能成功运营。

她补充说，一部分室内购物中心已经学会了如何繁荣发展，其中包括 JCPenney 作为主力店入驻的尚堡伍德菲尔德购物中心（Woodfield Mall），以及位于芝加哥西南郊芝加哥里奇（Chicago Ridge）的芝加哥里奇购物中心（Chicago Ridge Mall）。

业主通过招募更多餐厅和其他体验式零售，以及举办社区活动，将这些购物中心从简单的购物目的地转变为公共聚集地。

“经济在变化，人们的购物习惯在变化，所以如果你想在竞争中保持领先，就必须随之改变，”考克斯说道。

亚马逊将暂停使用涉致命事故的货运承运商

美联社

迈阿密 —— 亚马逊宣布，在货运承运商 21 Air 的一架装满亚马逊包裹的飞机上周在迈阿密跑道冲出跑道并导致五人死亡后，已暂停与 21 的合作伙伴关系。

这架波音 767 飞机在 9月 6 以高速降落，随后冲出跑道末端约 1,300 英尺，撞上了一辆载有飞机清洁公司员工的货车。五名死者均在货车内。另有五人受伤。

“在经历了上周末的悲剧事件后，我们花时间支持调查并审查了一些相关情况，我们决定暂停与 7598 号航班的运营商 21 Air 的业务往来，”亚马逊发言人凯利·南特尔（Kelly Nantel）周日在一份声明中表示。

国家运输安全委员会将检查所有可能导致此次事故的因素，以确定事故原因。

这家北卡罗来纳州的承运商自 2024. 起为亚马逊运送包裹。该公司还为 DHL 运送包裹，而 DHL 周一拒绝就是否将继续使用 21 Air 发表评论，理由是“调查正在进行中”。

国家运输安全委员会周三公布的飞行信息显示，一名飞行员在接近降落以及触地后，曾警告其搭档速度过快。

飞机在降落时状态不稳定，直到远超跑道预定触地点才触地，这限制了其停止运行所需的空间。尾风可能促使飞机冲得更远。驾驶舱音频记录还捕捉到了飞机关于下降速度和接近地形的一系列自动警告。

卡尼将在峰会上向全球投资者推介加拿大

多伦多 —— 唐纳德·特朗普总统希望工厂和投资向南转移到美国。加拿大总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）则押注他能让数十亿资金向北流动。

本周，来自全球一些最大投资公司的约 300 位首席执行官和高级管理人员将抵达多伦多，参加卡尼举办的加拿大投资峰会。

这些投资者共同管理着超过 120万亿美元 的资产，凸显了卡尼希望利用的资本规模，因为加拿大正试图吸引数十亿的新投资，并减少对美国的经济依赖。

卡尼指出了其国家巨大的能源和关键矿产资源、高素质的劳动力，以及让总部位于加拿大的企业能够接触到全球约 15 亿美元 消费者的贸易协定。——美联社

日本高管因反应堆数据造假辞职

东京 —— 日本第三大电力公司中部电力公司（Chubu Electric Power Co.）总裁周一表示，他与董事长将辞职，以为公司多年来操纵两座核反应堆地震安全数据承担责任，且运营商将撤回重启这些反应堆的申请。

日本正在逐步重启 54 座核反应堆中的一部分。这些反应堆在 2011, 年福岛灾难后被关闭，当时东北海岸发生的 9.0 级地震和海啸导致东京电力公司控股（Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings）运营的 3 座反应堆发生熔毁。

中部电力公司表示，一个外部调查小组发现，该电力公司多年来为其位于东京以西约 125 英里的滨冈 No. 3 和 No. 4 反应堆提供操纵后的地震数据，以确保数据符合要求。——美联社

代表联邦政府提起诉讼且曾是雅培员工的举报人 —— 斯科特·米拉德（Scott Millard）、克里斯汀·库珀（Kristine Cooper）和洛伦·库珀（Loren Cooper） —— 将获得 6900万美元 作为他们在联邦和解金中的份额。《虚假申报法》（False Claims Act）允许举报人代表联邦政府提起诉讼，并分享任何追回的资金。

在美国购买的婴儿配方奶粉中，超过一半是由联邦资金通过“妇女、婴儿和儿童特殊营养计划”（WIC）支付的。该计划为收入低于特定门槛的幼儿以及怀孕或近期分娩的女性提供包括婴儿配方奶粉在内的健康食品。

这项 3.85亿美元 的协议是在这家总部位于伊利诺伊州的公司达成另一项无关的大额和解之后签署的。在另一件独立事件中，雅培最近同意支付 6.7亿美元，以解决一起备受关注的诉讼以及代表数千名其他人的索赔，该诉讼涉及其为早产儿设计的配方奶粉会导致危险肠道疾病的指控。关于其早产儿配方奶粉是否导致该疾病，雅培在全国范围内仍面临 1,700 起诉讼。

机构终止 限制电厂 排放的规定

作者：Matthew Daly 美联社

华盛顿 —— 美国环境保护署（EPA）周一表示，将废除限制燃煤和天然气电厂排放导致全球变暖的温室气体的规定，并宣布采取一项独立但相关的措施，以防止未来的政府监管电厂的气候污染。

这项规则变更去年首次被提出，代表了与民主党总统乔·拜登和巴拉克·奥巴马应对气候变化及清理工业污染努力的根本性转变。

环保组织谴责这一变更，称这将以损害美国人的健康为代价，并进一步恶化环境。

EPA 表示，撤销拜登时代的电厂法规将为工业界节省超过 $300 亿美元的成本，并有助于“释放”美国能源。

EPA 助理署长亚伦·萨博（Aaron Szabo）表示，这一变更将允许公用事业公司为他们的电费缴纳者做出最佳决策，而不是被迫关闭陈旧或低效的电厂。

该电厂法规将在《联邦登记簿》公布后不久生效，预计将立即面临法律挑战。

环保组织也可能会对周一提出的另一项独立规则提出挑战，该规则可能会阻止未来的政府监管电厂的温室气体排放。该提案预计将于明年最终确定，此前 EPA 在今年早些时候撤销了一项科学结论，而该结论长期以来一直是美国监管温室气体排放和应对气候变化的核心依据。

2 月份的行动取消了所有针对汽车和卡车的温室气体排放标准。新计划将采用类似的逻辑，更广泛地撤销针对电厂等固定污染源的气候监管。

这些公告发布之际，EPA 负责人李·泽尔丁（Lee Zeldin）、内政部长道格·伯格姆（Doug Burgum）和能源部长克里斯·赖特（Chris Wright）正在休斯顿主持一场关于“能源丰裕”的 G20 部长级会议。该法规在同一天公布，既是对石油资源丰富的德克萨斯州在能源工业中所扮演重要角色的认可，也可能是对出席会议的欧洲及其他国际盟友的轻视，因为这些盟友一直推行环保政策，而特朗普政府正致力于废除这些政策。

共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普在去年的一次联合国演讲中称，气候变化是“对世界实施的最大骗局”，且他的政府第二次让美国退出了 2015 年的《巴黎气候协定》，该协定设定了限制全球变暖排放的自愿目标。

尽管伊朗战争继续扰乱全球燃料市场，且汽油价格突破每加仑 $4.31（比一年前上涨超过 1 美元），但特朗普一直吹嘘美国的能源丰裕。

这些回撤旨在履行特朗普多次承诺的“释放美国能源”，并使公用事业公司更容易为家庭和企业提供电力。

前副总统阿尔·戈尔表示，EPA 的行动使美国“与世界其他国家走在了完全相反的方向。在全球能源市场持续动荡的情况下，应对成本上升和能源安全的明确答案是清洁能源。”

戈尔周一在给美联社的一封电子邮件中表示，即便特朗普政府“正在将美国向后拖”，但向清洁能源的转型“将继续深入……无论是在美国还是在全球范围内”。“这是因为清洁能源更便宜，能创造更多就业机会，并增强能源安全。”

这项电厂规定是泽尔丁在2025年初针对的近三十项环境监管条例之一，当时他宣布那是他所谓的“美国历史上最具影响力的去监管之日”。

泽尔丁在去年提出新规时表示，这些规定旨在结束拜登和奥巴马政府对“美国国内如此之多能源供应的战争”。

环境和公共卫生团体称这些新的撤销举措十分危险，并誓言将在法庭上对这些规定提出挑战。

“拆除我们针对电厂气候污染的国家保护措施，将给全国各地的家庭在健康、安全和福祉方面带来巨大的代价，”环境防御基金（Environmental Defense Fund）总法律顾问维基·帕顿（Vickie Patton）表示。“各地的美国人已经在遭受破纪录的高温、更危险的洪水和风暴，以及飞涨的保险成本。”

帕顿表示，美国环保署（EPA）负有保护公众免受有害污染影响的法律责任，并补充说，“清洁、实惠且可靠的技术已广泛可用，可以为我们的家庭和企业提供动力。”

煤电、气电和油电厂约占全国气候污染总量的四分之一，仅次于交通部门。

根据美联社去年的一项调查（该调查包括了该机构之前的评估以及广泛的其他研究），特朗普领导下的环保署所针对的这些规定，在生效期间预计每年可避免约30,000人死亡，并节省2750 亿美元 billion。

拜登曾将应对气候变化作为其总统任期的标志。根据2024.年发布的一项严格的环保署规定，煤电厂将被迫捕集烟囱排放物或关闭。而这些规定现在正被推翻。

参议院加密货币法案投票为该行业关键时刻铺路

总统同意适用于其个人活动的新伦理规则

作者：Seung Min Kim 美联社

华盛顿 —— 关于参议院正在起草的这项影响深远的加密货币法案，唐纳德·特朗普总统数周以来一直清晰地接收到了这样一个信号：要想让法案顺利通过，他必须同意同样适用于他本人的伦理条款。

首先，特朗普同意了一项措施，该措施将禁止他及其妻子发行类似于他在准备第二次入主白宫期间所推出的那种模因币（meme coins）。随后，在周日晚些时候，共和党人表示特朗普同意了一项更严苛的伦理提案，此前几位关键参议员曾对此提出要求。

现在，周二参议院将对该加密货币法案进行一次关键投票，这可能成为这个规模达 2.3万亿美元 市场的分水岭 —— 但这主要取决于特朗普的这些认可是否足够充分。这次投票将决定华盛顿是将加密货币的合法性写入法律，还是会让一个感到沮丧且资金雄厚的行业在中期选举中投入更多竞选资金。

“反对《清晰法案》（Clarity Act）的投票并不是基于原则地反对特朗普总统，”该加密货币法案的主要起草人、怀俄明州共和党参议员辛西娅·卢米斯（Cynthia Lummis）告诉美联社，“这是在反对对政治人物的加密货币投资实施严格限制。”

肯塔基州共和党参议员米奇·麦康奈尔（Mitch McConnell）预计将出席投票。他于周一返回参议院，这是自 6 月 14 日他在家中跌倒住院以来的首次回归。

总统在任期间积累了大量加密货币财富，这使得起草立法以试图将这个新兴数字资产行业推向主流的参议员们面临复杂的局面。考虑到这一点，卢米斯和俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺（Bernie Moreno）于 7 月中旬前往白宫会见特朗普，并告知他，若要让关键的民主党人支持该法案，他必须遵守利益冲突限制。

总统同意了 —— 根据两名了解椭圆形办公室讨论情况的人士透露，其抵触情绪之小令人惊讶。这两位人士在描述私人谈话时要求匿名。

在这次会议上，深谙数字资产政策复杂细节的长期加密货币支持者卢米斯，以及以极具说服力的销售技巧著称的区块链企业家兼豪华车经销商莫雷诺提出了相关措辞。该措辞将禁止所有联邦选举官员及其配偶以及联邦法官发行数字资产。这意味着特朗普将无法再赞助他在 2025, 1 月第二次就职前夕推出的那种模因币，他的妻子、第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普（Melania Trump）也将无法继续持有其代币。

但随后，亚利桑那州民主党参议员鲁本·加列戈（Ruben Gallego）和北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）向白宫提交了一项更为深入的补充提案。根据另外两名直接了解相关措辞的人士透露，该提案将要求总统将其加密货币持仓放入盲信托，并在持仓达到一定价值时进行剥离。他们在讨论私人谈判时要求匿名。

该提案还将允许州总检察长在司法部之外介入并执行法律 —— 对于民主党人来说，这是一项关键条款，因为他们表示无法信任由特朗普任命的总检察长会执行任何针对总统的利益冲突条款。

从理论上讲，该提案可能会迫使特朗普剥离其投资的项目，例如他的儿子们在 2024 年启动的加密货币风险项目 World Liberty Financial。

特朗普在提交给政府伦理办公室的年度披露报告中，报告了来自 World Liberty Financial 加密产品（包括“治理代币”）销售的 5 亿美元以上的收入——这在总统去年报告的 14 亿美元以上的加密业务收入中占据了相当大的份额。据两名熟悉 7 月椭圆形办公室讨论的人士透露，白宫官员在私下里对赋予州总检察长执法权表示担忧，认为民主党州律师可能会将其作为针对总统和其他共和党官员的政治武器，而共和党总检察长也可能将其用于针对民选的民主党人。

尽管如此，根据卢米斯以及该法案的主要起草人——来自阿肯色州的共和党参议员约翰·布兹曼（John Boozman）和来自南卡罗来纳州的共和党参议员蒂姆·斯科特（Tim Scott）在周日晚间发表的一份声明，特朗普同意了相关措辞，即如果该加密措施成为法律，州总检察长将在执行过程中发挥“重要作用”。

一名在匿名条件下向记者通报情况的高级共和党助手表示，总统已同意蒂利斯（Tillis）和加列戈（Gallego）提案中“约 80%”的内容，并特别指出了关于州总检察长的条款。

特朗普称限制AI技术的努力是针对AI技术的“病态阴谋”

作者：Josh Boak

华盛顿 —— 唐纳德·特朗普总统周一表示，他本人足以成为防止失控人工智能的护栏，并声称任何限制该技术的努力都是一场“病态阴谋”的一部分。

特朗普此番言论是在反击科技领袖们的呼吁，包括Anthropic的达里奥·阿莫代伊、OpenAI的萨姆·奥特曼以及伊隆·马斯克，他们主张政府应对AI实施更严格的监管。许多科技领袖普遍表示，其目标是以促进安全、解决法律责任、推动经济增长、推进科学并维护国家安全的方式来开发该技术。

总统坚称，他在椭圆形办公室的存在应当能消除人们对AI的任何恐惧。在最近几个月发生的一系列黑客攻击事件后，AI已成为争议之源，这些事件表明AI代理可能会试图欺骗人类。

“AI唯一需要的控制或‘护栏’，就是一位强有力且聪明（高智商！）的总统，而美国恰恰拥有这样一位总统，而且绰绰有余！”特朗普在社交媒体上发帖称。

特朗普特别提到，政府已经阻止了AI公司Anthropic“做坏事，或潜在的坏事”。Anthropic与特朗普政府的关系一直不愉快，美国国防部曾试图将该公司标记为安全风险，且政府曾对其一款更先进的模型发布临时禁令。

总统在周一下午的一篇帖子中进一步质疑：“在商业历史上，什么时候见过一个行业的领导者呼吁实施某种监管，而这种监管如果被强力执行，会将他们推向湮灭和破产？”

随后总统补充道，AI可能对人类构成的威胁是一个骗局，尽管许多最接近最先进模型的专家已发出明确警告。

“AI接管世界、毁灭人类以及所有其他糟糕的事情，都是一个骗局，”特朗普发帖称。

Anthropic首席执行官阿莫代伊周六发表了一篇3,800字的论文，呼吁放缓AI的开发速度。微软周一发布了自己的行为准则，以确保人类控制AI。特朗普去年在重返白宫后，撤销了拜登政府关于AI监管的行政命令，直到今年6月，即16个月之后，才出台了一份更完整的自有命令。

众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊周一告诉记者，他预计特朗普可能会在本周或下周邀请AI公司在白宫会面，并表示此次会谈尚未排期。

副总统JD·万斯周一在谈到AI时告诉记者：“我认为美国人不应该害怕任何事情。”

万斯收集关于伊朗战争的真实观点

华盛顿 —— 根据现任和前任官员的说法，副总统JD·万斯在今年春季和夏季采取了不同寻常的举措，直接致电美国驻中东、欧洲和亚洲的军事指挥官，寻求他们对伊朗战争不加掩饰的评估。

万斯从一开始就反对这场战争，并被唐纳德·特朗普总统委以协助结束冲突的任务。他希望在指挥官们的个人判断被整合为五角大楼的统一观点之前，能听到他们用自己的语言表达的独立见解。

这些对话深入探讨了与战争相关的一系列问题，包括战争目标、战术、伤亡估计、伊朗人在霍尔木兹海峡会采取什么行动、他们的适应能力如何，以及其政府能承受多少打击。万斯还要求详细核算指挥官们的库存剩余情况，以及向中东转移武器将如何影响他们威慑中国、俄罗斯和朝鲜的能力。

关于最后一点，指挥官们的措辞非常直接。他们最担心的是用于防空系统的“爱国者”拦截弹库存枯竭。到春末，其中一个战区的库存已不足100枚。这场战争还耗尽了该战区的陆军战术导弹系统（射程可达190英里）以及旨在替代该系统的精确打击导弹的储备。他们告诉副总统，关键弹药的库存处于他们见过的最低水平。

这一描述基于对六名以上现任和前任官员的采访，这些人因披露敏感信息而要求匿名。

据与万斯交谈过的人透露，在部分对话之后，万斯对整体战略和成功的可能性产生了深深的担忧。这些评估明确指出，伊朗政府在生存之战中准备承受极大的痛苦，而美国可用于拦截伊朗报复性打击或应对其他地区威胁的防御性武器供应有限。

副总统将这些教训纳入了他与特朗普及其核心圈子的私人谈话中。与此同时，总统在听取参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩（Dan Caine）将军的简报时，也更多地听到了关于美国库存压力和伊朗军队韧性的情况，而特朗普最初对此难以置信。

综合这些官员的描述，可以看出万斯如何试图挖掘关于这场战争更多细节和细微差别的信息。这些描述还有助于充实一个备受争议的问题，即特朗普正在接收什么样的战争信息，以及这些信息来自谁。对于在成为副总统之前国家安全经验有限的万斯来说，这些情况表明他现在正深陷于一场代价高昂且结果未定的战争之中，而这场战争可能会在他潜在的2028年总统竞选中成为他的阴影。

万斯收到的冷静私人评估与包括总统和副总统在内的政府高层官员公开表态之间存在巨大鸿沟。特朗普继续虚假地声称美国已经赢得了战争，伊朗军队已被摧毁，且美国武器供应没有任何问题。而万斯最近则淡化了美国甚至处于战争状态这一观点。

据直接知情官员透露，万斯与指挥官们的通话是在总统、国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）、凯恩（Caine）、兼任国家安全顾问的国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）以及白宫办公厅主任苏西·威尔斯（Susie Wiles）的知情下进行的。

五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔（Sean Parnell）在一份声明中表示，“为了确保总统团队获得关于中东持续行动的所有可用数据点，部长已为副总统和其他白宫高级领导人提供了直接接触作战司令的渠道。”

白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张（Steven Cheung）表示：“特朗普总统组建了历史上最才华横溢的国家安全团队。整个团队正全力确保总统拥有所需的所有信息，以威慑美国的敌人。每个人都在这项任务中相互协调工作。”

曾在伊拉克战争期间加入海军陆战队的万斯告诉同事，他认为自己是总统在国家安全方面的主要顾问之一。

万斯的新闻秘书卢克·施罗德（Luke Schroeder）表示：“副总统感谢海格塞斯部长和凯恩主席的合作。他将他们视为向总统提供建议并执行其决定时不可或缺的同事。”

在2月28日战争开始之前，出于行动安全原因并为了防止潜在泄密，海格塞斯和凯恩将规划范围限制在五角大楼和中央司令部一个异常小规模的军官圈子内。

战争开始几天后，万斯告诉同事，他希望获得更详尽的简报，以形成自己的观点并更好地向特朗普提供建议。

副总统寻求那些能够提供坦率且未经过滤的意见和建议的现役军官，并将听到的内容纳入他向总统提供的建议中。

在万斯进行通话期间，战斗持续时间远超五角大楼规划者最初为此次行动预算的约六周窗口期。除副总统之外的白宫高级顾问认为，他们对于这些打击在多大程度上改变了伊朗首都德黑兰政府的考量，还没有足够清晰的了解。

随着战争的拖延，指挥官们被命令转移更多弹药。他们惊恐地看着库存不断减少。

到4月，特朗普意识到战争并未按他希望的方向发展。他授权其团队——包括万斯、总统女婿贾里德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）和特使史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）——开始寻求一个框架并与伊朗谈判达成结束冲突的协议，该协议将使该国的独裁者继续掌权。在接获指挥官通话简报的官员们无法说明副总统的调查结果在总统转向外交手段的过程中起到了什么样的作用（如果起过作用的话）。

万斯在特朗普政府中形成了沉溺于行动细节的名声，一些官员钦佩这种习惯，而另一些人则认为这过于纠结于琐碎细节。

情报官员表示，中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·拉特克利夫（John Ratcliffe）允许万斯直接接触机构分析师；万斯知道其中一些人的名字，并会给他们的办公桌打电话询问原始情报或早晨简报中的项目。

但这种权限是例外。对于大多数高级官员来说，战争信息依然难以获得。

唐纳德·特朗普总统视察位于奥乔皮（Ochopee）的佛罗里达州“鳄鱼阿尔卡特拉斯”（Alligator Alcatraz）。一份报告称，该移民中心还使用了较小的围栏。DOUG MILLS / THE NEW YORK TIMES 2025

报告：“鳄鱼阿尔卡特拉斯”使用小型笼子作为“冷静区”

作者：Madeleine Ngo, Hamed Aleaziz 以及 David Ovalle 《纽约时报》

华盛顿 —— 根据美国国土安全部独立监察机构的一份新报告，位于佛罗里达州大沼泽地的一家州立移民拘留中心未能遵守多项联邦拘留标准，导致环境拥挤，并将移民禁锢在“小型金属围栏”中。

报告称，在监察机构（即该部门的监察长办公室）此前检查过的设施中，使用此类围栏的情况是前所未有的，且给被拘留者的健康和安全带来了“重大风险”。报告重点关注了一家名为“鳄鱼阿尔卡特拉斯”（Alligator Alcatraz）的高关注度设施，该设施在今年夏天关闭前受到了严厉审查。

该报告对这家已成为特朗普政府严酷对待移民拘留者代名词的设施提出了进一步质疑。唐纳德·特朗普总统曾开玩笑说，该地点位于如此偏远的地区，以至于被拘留者必须学会“如何从鳄鱼身边逃跑”。在经历了关于环境和成本的批评以及法律挑战后，该设施被关闭。

联邦调查人员发现，这些金属围栏——每个仅提供约 18 平方英尺的地面空间——被用作“冷静区”，被拘留者在此被禁锢的时间从几分钟到近两小时不等。尽管设施工作人员称是被拘留者要求在围栏中度过时间，但联邦调查人员发现了至少一起将围栏用于惩戒“未能遵守合法指令”之被拘留者的案例。

报告称：“使用此类限制性空间是非常不常规的，且不符合人道待遇标准。”

美国国土安全部未立即回应置评请求。

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis）的办公室也未立即回应置评请求。在关闭前运营该设施的佛罗里达州应急管理局同样未予回应。

调查人员发现，该设施遵守了接收和使用武力的标准，但在医疗护理、餐饮服务、个人卫生和娱乐相关的各项国家拘留标准方面未能达标。

报告称，设施工作人员未能为被拘留者提供足够的居住空间。国家标准要求每人至少提供 75 平方英尺的地面空间。但报告显示，在满员状态下，该设施的住房单元每名被拘留者仅能获得 28 平方英尺的空间。

2025 年 7 月，佛罗里达州在迈阿密和那不勒斯之间农村地区的一个训练机场迅速搭建了这座拘留中心，将其宣传为该州协助特朗普打击非法移民努力的一部分。他们甚至在通往设施的道路上竖起了一块“鳄鱼阿尔卡特拉斯”的标志，这被批评者谴责为残酷之举。

该设施每天的运营成本使州政府支出超过 100万美元，其中包括运水和废水处理费用。佛罗里达州官员在今年夏天关闭了该设施，理由是飓风季节临近——尽管被拘留者曾在 2025 年的飓风季节留在“鳄鱼阿尔卡特拉斯”。

官员称遭无人机袭击的沙特石油管道修复需数周时间

开罗——两名地区官员周一表示，一条在袭击中受损的关键沙特石油管道在修复期间将大部分处于停用状态，时间将持续数周。与此同时，也门胡塞武装夺取了红海航线沿线的更多岛屿，这对沙特阿拉伯的石油出口造成了新打击。

由于对全球石油供应以及新进展是否会影响全球最大出口国将原油推向市场的能力日益担忧，油价上涨超过 2%。伊朗战争迫使该王国将其出口转移出波斯湾，因为伊朗的袭击扼杀了通过波斯湾唯一航运出口——霍尔木兹海峡的船舶交通。

因此，该王国依赖横跨全国 745 英里的东西管道，将其原油产量从海湾港口转移到红海的延布港。从那里，原油可以被装上油轮出口。但由于周四发生的一起袭击，当局被迫关闭该管道，沙特阿拉伯将此次袭击归咎于伊拉克境内受伊朗支持的民兵组织所发射的无人机。

官员们表示，包括一座主要泵站设施在内的损坏修复工作可能需要三到五周。其中一名官员表示，管道在修复期间可能会部分运行，但他们无法说明能通过多少石油。

由于未获授权向媒体提供简报，这些官员在发言时要求匿名。

根据总部位于挪威的能源分析机构 Rystad Energy 周一发布的一份分析报告，自 8 月下旬以来，该管道的日均输送量为 260 万 至 400 万 桶——如果管道流量完全停止，市场将损失这一数量。报告称，布伦特原油价格上涨至 $109, 这是一个“明确的信号，表明市场正日益将供应的大幅损失计入价格”。

运营该管道的沙特石油公司 Aramco 未立即回应置评请求。负责监管该国外国媒体的政府运营国际传播中心表示，正在研究美联社关于修复所需时间的询问。

与此同时，政府和胡塞武装官员周一表示，也门受伊朗支持的胡塞武装通过夺取具有战略意义的大哈尼什岛和小哈尼什岛，继续扩大其对沙特红海航线的威胁。

这些岛屿位于曼德海峡以北 100 英里处。该海峡是一个连接红海与公海以及沙特阿拉伯关键亚洲市场的咽喉要道。

胡塞武装的推进还使他们距离位于曼德海峡另一侧、非洲之角小国吉布提的美国军事基地仅 20 英里。

一个多月以来，胡塞武装一直在袭击沙特的石油基础设施和红海航运，加剧了对全球油价的压力，并增强了伊朗在与美国的战争中的筹码。

胡塞武装的推进似乎几乎没有遭到沙特支持的也门政府军的抵抗。两名政府官员和一名胡塞武装官员表示，在数百名政府盟军从该群岛撤离后，反叛分子部署到了哈尼什群岛。由于未获授权与记者交谈，这些官员在发言时要求匿名。

上周，反叛分子夺取了曼德海峡内的港口城市摩卡和马云岛。

政府军目前正试图集结并展开反击。军方周日表示，已对摩卡（Mokha）、沿海城镇杜巴布（Dhubab）以及塔伊兹省（Taiz province）其他地区的胡塞武装阵地发动空袭。

一名反政府武装发言人表示，胡塞武装向沙特南部城市哈米斯穆谢特（Khamis Mushait）的哈立德国王空军基地发射了数十枚导弹和无人机，目标是机库、雷达设施和弹药库。准将叶海亚·萨里（Yahya Saree）在周一发表的声明中未具体说明袭击发生的时间，但胡塞武装通常在袭击发生数小时或数日后才宣布承担责任。

民主党人及活动人士对特朗普在中期选举方面的举措做出回应

作者：Nicholas Riccardi 和 Matt Brown 美联社

民主党各州党部周一宣布，他们正在启动一项针对中期选举的行动，称之为“新战场计划”（New Battlefield Project），旨在招募 10,000 名志愿者在投票站值守，以应对武装联邦官员可能出现的情况。

活动人士计划，如果特朗普政府试图干预投票或计票，将发起大规模抗议。法律学者则在分发白皮书，就政府试图没收选票时法官应如何应对提供建议。

这些前所未有的努力是为了应对总统唐纳德·特朗普同样前所未有的干预今年中期选举的举措，其中包括试图在选民登记时强制执行公民身份证明要求，以及指示美国邮政署在决定哪些选民能获得邮寄选票方面发挥核心作用。

随着投票开始，这种焦虑的应急计划已成为一个标志，表明这个曾经作为世界典范的国家，其民主制度已变得多么紧张。

左翼团体“不可分割”（Indivisible）的埃兹拉·莱文（Ezra Levin）表示：“我们从未像现在这样，为应对选举破坏事件做准备。”

民主党人表示，他们有理由为末日场景做计划。在第一任期内，特朗普拒绝接受 2020 年败给民主党候任总统乔·拜登的结果，并试图推翻投票结果，但遭到了职业官员和更多建制派共和党人的抵制。在重新掌权后，特朗普在政府中安插了那些曾协助其 2020 年行动的人员，利用联邦政府打击其政治敌人，并赦免了 1,000 多名因 2021 年 1 月 6 日袭击美国国会大厦而受审的人员，当时的袭击旨在阻止对拜登获胜结果的认证。

现任总统所属的政党通常在中期选举中失去阵地，但特朗普这次采取了所有手段试图防止这种情况发生。他要求共和党人重新绘制选区地图，以便在众议院为自己创造更多安全席位；他在上周举行了不同寻常的中期代表大会；并且在各州开始寄出选票之际，仍试图修改选举规则。

针对要求法官批准没收选票搜查令的建议，其灵感来自特朗普政府近期基于已被证明是虚假的阴谋论，没收了佐治亚州 2020 年的选票及其他选举记录。

加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）法学院教授、该校“捍卫民主项目”主任里克·哈森（Rick Hasen）参与编写了关于应对投票机被没收的指导方案。他指出，特朗普曾表示遗憾，后悔没有采取更激进的行动来推翻 2020 年的结果，例如下令没收投票机。

“所有这些事情都将原本离谱的猜测变成了现实，”哈森说。他表示，虽然不应过度惊吓选民，让他们担心可能发生的事情，但“在危言耸听与盲目乐观之间寻找平衡点很难”。

去年，民主党人担心特朗普可能会干预加利福尼亚州、弗吉尼亚州及其他地区的非年度选举，但最终投票过程进展顺利。

白宫发言人劳伦·比斯（Lauren Bis）在声明中表示：“美国人对我们选举产生的唯一‘恐惧’，是由那些极端的自由派民主党人煽动的，他们拒绝支持确保只有美国人——且仅由美国人——决定选举结果的常识性立法，以及像选民身份证（Voter ID）等其他基本的选举安全措施。”

尽管如此，中期选举的赌注要高得多，因为这将决定共和党是否能继续控制国会两院。

法院在去年阻止了特朗普首次尝试通过行政命令重塑选举规则的企图。总统曾支持国会的一项法案以进行更为广泛的变革，但由于民主党人和部分共和党人的反对，该法案在参议院陷入停滞。

随后，特朗普尝试通过行政命令限制邮寄投票，但法院再次予以拦截，称这些变更在中期选举前无法实施。该案件目前已提交至最高法院。

每次选举，两大主要政党都会动员由律师、工作人员和志愿者组成的大规模行动，以监督投票站和选票计票。共和党全国委员会（RNC）表示，其招募的投票监察员人数已创历史记录。

“RNC在整个周期内的准备工作，不仅是为了在11月挑战历史，更是为了保护历史，”发言人艾莉·特里奥洛（Ally Triolo）表示。“我们构建了共和党历史上规模最大的选举诚信行动，因为我们的使命很简单：确保每一张合法选票的安全，并确保美国人能够信任我们的选举结果。”

民主党也扩大了其行动规模，州民主党委员会协会（Association of State Democratic Committees）正通过其“战场”招募项目来加强这一努力。该组织主席兼内布拉斯加州民主党主席简·克利布（Jane Kleeb）表示，这还将包括一个用于分享有关在线威胁和操纵信息的网络。

“如果他们说要在投票站外部署武装人员，那么我们应该在投票地点外部署友好的工作人员来拍摄他们，”克利布在一次采访中说道。“我们现在面对的是一个全新的战场。”

克利布指的是民主党内部广泛存在的担忧，即美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）的官员将被部署到投票站，而多名政府官员数月来一直否认这种情况会发生。

俄罗斯寡头资助特朗普之子部分婚礼庆典

来自新闻服务机构

纽约 —— 唐纳德·特朗普之子唐纳德·特朗普二世的新婚妻子贝蒂娜（Bettina）证实，她5月份的婚礼周末庆典部分由一名与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京关系密切的男子资助。

在周一早晨发布的一篇由夫妇两人共同签署的Instagram帖子中，贝蒂娜·特朗普写道，该男子乌马尔·克雷姆列夫（Umar Kremlev）是一位“亲爱的朋友”，他“在我们的婚礼之后，非常慷慨地为我们主持了两晚精彩的庆典”。

非营利调查网站ProPublica在周一早些时候报道称，特朗普二世与社交名媛贝蒂娜·安德森（Bettina Anderson）在巴哈马举行的婚礼得到了克雷姆列夫的大量资助，后者是一名俄罗斯寡头，担任国际拳击协会负责人。ProPublica报道称，克雷姆列夫“支付了数十万美元的婚礼费用”，包括支付租用举办为期三天派对的两座私人岛屿之一的费用以及一场烟花表演。

在帖子中，贝蒂娜·特朗普表示，她与总统之子是在一场“仅有家人陪伴”的私人仪式上结婚的。

“随后的那个周末实际上早已被计划为一个与朋友共度的欢乐周末。它从未被打算作为我们的婚礼周末。当我们的原定婚礼计划发生变化时，我们简单地决定在周末之前结婚，并以新婚夫妇的身份参加一个已经计划好的周末，”帖子继续写道。

“令人遗憾的是，一件如此私人且快乐的事情，仅仅因为某人的身份或来源，就被重新定义为政治性的或阴险的事情。友谊不需要政治动机。慷慨并不自动带有某种议程。

而且，有时一份婚礼礼物仅仅是一份婚礼礼物。”

这份礼物出现之时，俄罗斯在入侵乌克兰后仍处于战争状态，而唐纳德·特朗普总统尚未能促成一项承诺的和平协议。

布伦南被传唤：前中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·布伦南（John Brennan）已被传唤，要求他在佛罗里达州的一个大陪审团面前作证。此次传唤涉及美国司法部（DOJ）的一项调查，旨在查明前执法和情报官员是否共谋反对唐纳德·特朗普总统。布伦南的一名律师周一表示，布伦南同时也是另一项独立调查的目标，该调查旨在查明布伦南在国会面前是否发表了虚假陈述。

布伦南的律师肯·温斯坦（Ken Wainstein）在请求法院下令要求司法部保存所有调查记录时，披露了传票的存在。他表示，这些文件将成为了解政府决定起诉特朗普批评者布伦南的“丰富信息源”，且辩方需要这些文件来挑战对这位前CIA局长的任何起诉，认为此类起诉具有违宪的报复性和选择性。

在向美国地方法院法官贾·科布（Jia Cobb）陈述其理由时，他引用了其所谓的司法部“挑选法官”行为、特朗普要求追究布伦南等被视为对手之人的指令，以及据称曾提出内部质疑或担忧的检察官被替换或辞职的情况。

传票于周四送达——同一天，此前领导这项被称为“大共谋”调查的检察官乔·迪杰诺瓦（Joe diGenova）突然辞职。一名熟悉此事的人将其描述为司法部和白宫对其调查管理方式感到沮丧。

俄乌战争：总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周一表示，如果盟友能够确保俄罗斯真正承诺不再打击乌克兰的关键基础设施，乌克兰准备停止对俄罗斯领土的袭击。此前，总统唐纳德·特朗普在社交媒体发帖称，俄罗斯和乌克兰已同意“不打击”对方的能源基础设施，但特朗普并未就该所谓协议提供进一步细节。

俄罗斯未立即对特朗普的说法发表评论。此前，旨在达成即便只是部分停火的调停努力已多次失败。

在关于该协议的消息传出前一天，特朗普曾呼吁泽连斯基停止针对俄罗斯用于生产和分发柴油的石油基础设施，并声称这些袭击正导致全球短缺。

新绿卡政策：

由民主党领导的各州和城市周一提起诉讼，挑战一项将于周五开始实施的联邦规定。他们表示，该规定赋予了唐纳德·特朗普政府广泛的自由裁量权，可以拒绝向依赖公共援助以满足食物、医疗、住房和其他基本需求的移民发放绿卡。

纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯在其中一起诉讼中领导着由另外21个州组成的联盟，她表示，该规定将迫使贫困的移民家庭在寻求援助与寻求在该国获得合法身份之间做出选择。加利福尼亚州、科罗拉多州、夏威夷州、马萨诸塞州、密歇根州、内华达州、新墨西哥州和威斯康星州均参与了此次法律挑战。

周一，她在市政厅与纽约市市长佐兰·马姆达尼以及移民倡导者共同举行的新闻发布会上表示：“这项规定利用了这种恐惧，并指望这些家庭放弃他们依法有权享有的食物援助、医疗覆盖和其他公共福利。”

马姆达尼与包括芝加哥、旧金山和西雅图在内的其他美国城市领导人共同提起了一起单独诉讼。他表示，该规定不仅会对寻求合法身份的移民，而且会对这座美国最大城市的其他居民产生“寒蝉效应”。

被列入诉讼的美国国土安全部驳回了这些严峻的警告。

密西西比州吊死事件：一名被指控导致密西西比州一名黑人女性吊死致死的男子在周一的首次出庭中否认有罪。

8月3日，29岁的塔西亚·福特恩的尸体被发现吊在州首府杰克逊市一座废弃房屋后面的树上。

周五，在州医学检查官认定其死因为谋杀后，警方逮捕了51岁的贾克斯·拉特利夫并对其提起谋杀指控。拉特利夫同样是黑人。

在周一市政法院举行的简短听证会上，法官拒绝了拉特利夫的保释请求，拉特利夫告诉法院他没有罪。拉特利夫的律师在听证会后离开，未与记者交谈。

教皇利奥 71 岁生日：教皇利奥十四世周一庆祝了他的 71 岁生日，但收到礼物的是梵蒂冈的员工。

梵蒂冈发布了一项教皇法令，废除了教皇方济各此前作为圣座新冠肺炎（COVID-19）成本削减措施的一部分，对许多梵蒂冈员工实施的 2021 年减薪计划。

在周一发布的另一项法令中，利奥取消了方济各将部分梵蒂冈秘密档案和图书馆馆藏移出这个城邦，搬迁至城另一端的一所教皇大学校园的计划。方济各此前决定搬迁是因为这些资料已超出其存储空间（包括一个巨大的地下掩体）的承载能力。

利奥周一访问了梵蒂冈使徒图书馆，并指出与该馆员工一起庆祝生日尤为合适，因为他的母亲曾是一名图书管理员。

对作家纳尔逊·阿尔格伦永不停歇的纪念

比尔·萨维奇（Bill Savage，左）和保罗·杜里卡（Paul Durica）于 9 月 3 日在芝加哥的老城艾尔酒馆（Old Town Ale House）喝啤酒聊天。两人计划组织导览，参观纳尔逊·阿尔格伦（Nelson Algren）最喜爱的芝加哥地点。TERRENCE ANTONIO JAMES / 芝加哥论坛报

瑞克·科根 (Rick Kogan)

作家纳尔逊·阿尔格伦 (Nelson Algren) 过去常在我成长的公寓里喝酒，与我父母的其他作家朋友和伙伴们定期聚会，客厅里充满了交谈声、香烟和雪茄的烟雾，以及冰块撞击鸡尾酒杯的叮当声。

当时我肯定还不明白，但后来我了解到，阿尔格伦喝酒时，并没有像许多我们认为与酒精紧密相关的伟大作家那样，带着一种绝望且危险的热情。他同样是一位伟大的作家，尽管他的作品数量没有预想中那么丰厚。

因此，请不要认为即将在一个三天活动中涉及的三家著名的芝加哥酒馆与阿尔格伦对酒精的喜爱有关。相反，这些场所代表了他对酒馆及其顾客的喜爱。他所处的时代，酒馆是几乎任何社区不可或缺的一部分，为人们提供避风港以抵御生活的风暴。正如他所写：“在（有轨电车）站点之间延伸的街道上，酒馆的阴影与教堂的阴影共同构成了一个阴暗且双墙封死的死胡同。”

阿尔格伦自 1975 年离开芝加哥后便再未回来，并于 1981 年在长岛的萨格港 (Sag Harbor) 因心脏病发作去世。但他依然鲜活地存在于自己的书籍、两部电影、一座博物馆、关于他的传记以及各种活动之中。

我询问了一位前《论坛报》同事、记者玛丽·维斯涅夫斯基 (Mary Wisniewski) 关于阿尔格伦与酒精的关系。她是出色的 2016 年传记《阿尔格伦：一生》(Algren: A Life) 的作者，她告诉我：“阿尔格伦的朋友中很少有人认为他是酗酒者，尽管他有时确实喝得太多。20 世纪中叶作家和艺术家之间的饮酒文化比现在更盛行。他对酒吧的部分吸引力仅仅是因为孤独——他想和他人在一起，在事情发生的地方。与朋友在芝加哥的酒馆里喝酒，比独自面对打字机要有趣得多，尤其是当他的作品变得越来越难卖的时候。”

既然这一点已经明确，让我引导您参加即将到来的周末酒馆巡礼，以庆祝阿尔格伦的杰作《芝加哥：机会之城》(Chicago: City on the Make) 出版 75 周年。

这是两位最热忱且资深的粉丝所策划的

《未知女人》获威尼斯奖项

来自新闻服务

由梅·埃尔-图基（May el-Toukhy）执导的关于纳粹占领后丹麦生活的剧情片《未知女人》（Woman Unknown）于周六在第83届威尼斯电影节上赢得了久负盛名的金狮奖。

由玛吉·吉伦哈尔（Maggie Gyllenhaal）担任主席的评审团公布了获奖名单，其中包括约翰·马尔科维奇（John Malkovich）凭借在黑色CIA喜剧《野马九号》（Wild Horse Nine）中的表演获得最佳男演员奖。

马尔科维奇没有出席颁奖典礼，但他发送了一段视频信息，解释称他正在蒙特利尔拍摄。

“能被选中获得这个奖项，我感到很谦卑，因为许多优秀的演员都曾获得过此奖，”马尔科维奇说道。

除了马尔科维奇的获胜外，星光熠熠的好莱坞电影在本次奖项中均落选。

埃尔-图基是今年主竞赛单元中唯一一位独立执导电影的女性，她是第八位获得该电影节最高奖项的女性。

“对我个人而言，《未知女人》是将女性身体视为战场，”埃尔-图基说。“与此同时，这部电影讲述了那些被忽视、隐形且失声的女性的故事。”

她感谢吉伦哈尔利用自己的影响力，让人们关注女性面临的不平等机会。

该片主演马蒂尔德·阿尔塞尔（Mathilde Arcel）获得了电影节最佳女演员奖，她在领奖时显得情绪激动。“这是我第一次在电影中担任主角，也是我第一次参加电影节，”她说。“我感到极其荣幸。”

韩国作者李沧东（Lee Chang-dong）关于阶级与劳动的刻画作品《可能的爱》（Possible Love）赢得了银狮评审团大奖。《可能的爱》是李沧东在备受赞誉的《燃烧》（Burning）之后，八年来的首部电影。

由以色列电影制作人尤瓦尔·亚伯拉罕（Yuval Abraham）和瑞秋·索尔（Rachel Szor）拍摄的关于加沙战争中所采用军事战略的沉重纪录片《NAZA》被授予评审团特别奖。

评审团将银狮导演奖授予了伊利亚·克尔扎诺夫斯基（Ilya Krzhanovsky）及其电影《道》（Dau），这是一个关于制造原子弹的苏联物理学家的项目，耗时超过20年才完成。

法国导演斯特凡·布里兹（Stéphane Brize）凭借其企业剧情片《一个好小兵》（A Good Little Soldier）赢得了剧本奖。马卢·赫比齐（Malou Khebizi）凭借在塞德里克·卡恩（Cédric Kahn）执导的《疗愈之地》（A Place to Heal）中的角色获得了马塞洛·马斯楚安尼新兴演员奖，该片背景设定在一家公立医院的青少年精神病房。

《实用魔法2》打破“蜘蛛侠”魔咒：《实用魔法2》（Practical Magic 2）在本周末创造了票房胜利，在北美排行榜上夺冠。其前作在上映数十年后，已从一部平庸的院线片成长为一部邪典经典。

根据周日的估算，这部由桑德拉·布洛克（Sandra Bullock）和妮可·基德曼（Nicole Kidman）主演的华纳兄弟续集预计获得了 3000万美元。该片将《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》（Spider-Man: Brand New Day）挤出了榜首，后者此前已连续六个周末领跑国内票房。后者下滑至第二位，票房为 $8400万。

《实用魔法2》在海外增加了约 1600万美元，全球首映票房约为 4600万美元。

从药物康复中心出来的朋友继续指责、伤害他人

R. 埃里克·托马斯 (R. Eric Thomas) 的“请教埃里克”专栏

亲爱的埃里克：我的朋友“杰克”（Jac）曾经历了一次非常公开的“精神崩溃”，并被要求入住住院康复中心，治疗他长达20年的药物成瘾问题。

在治疗一年后，他没有任何改变，继续伤害他人，并将自己的诸多缺陷归咎于他人。这种情况被称为“干醉”（dry drunk），即一个虽然戒了瘾但行为举止仍像处于成瘾状态的人。

我的朋友认为每个人都应该为他“戒毒成功”而感到自豪，但他的为人依然和以前一样。

他的朋友们该如何告诉杰克，在他做出重大改变之前，我们不会与他“恢复友谊”？他目前正在执行一个12步计划。

—— 耐心等待第8步和第9步的人

亲爱的耐心等待者：在经历了20年的成瘾状态后，杰克可能需要一年以上的时间才能重新整理生活，或者以真正的清醒态度审视自己的行为和处境。

戒瘾是一个一天天推进的旅程，看来他仍在处理一些旧的行为模式，而这些模式在过去曾给他和他人带来痛苦。

你可以通过告诉杰克，你为他戒毒成功而感到自豪，但你们之间仍有一些问题需要解决，然后你才能完全回到他的生活中，以此来为他设定界限。

但你或其他朋友没有责任举行某种形式的“友谊干预”。杰克需要与他的指导员（sponsor）一起面对这些挑战和缺陷。

起初他可能不理解你设定的界限。你可以在能力范围内表达你的自豪并支持他，同时保持必要的距离，直到他能够做出补偿。

亲爱的埃里克：在我年轻的时候，我曾处于一段虐待关系中。那段关系给我带来了一个儿子，他现在已经50多岁了。

他同样具有虐待倾向。在他年轻还住在家里的时候，他曾试图打我。现在他成年了，在电话里对我出言不逊。上次他表现出这种行为时，我要求他不要给我打电话。

你会了解到，阿尔格伦（Algren）生活了一段时间。

他让我心烦。我不怀念那些电话。不过，我确实希望他过得好。我做得对吗？请指教。

—— 不接电话的人

像你这样设定的界限，通常有助于在健康的距离下维持关系。现在他有责任处理自己的虐待倾向，并且在你愿意的情况下向你道歉补偿。

亲爱的“不接电话的人”：我很遗憾你遭受了儿子及其父亲的虐待。让自己脱离这些情况可能非常困难，尤其是因为虐待者不尊重界限。

如果你仍得忍受他虐待性的电话，这个过程会更艰难，甚至是不可能的。你可以在保持内心平静的同时，在远处祝他好运。

要求你的儿子不要给你打电话是正确的。他的行为表明，他不愿意或无法尊重你。

亲爱的埃里克：我对那位在结婚40年后感到不快乐的写信人（见《处于边缘》）深有共鸣。

我已经结婚62年了，虽然我真心爱我的配偶，但退休带来了一些负面影响，而这些在两人都出门在外工作时更容易被忽视。

我们发现，加入从事不同活动的团体、做志愿者甚至兼职工作，有助于我们更好地规划时间，从而减少产生负面情绪的时间。

这样我们在一天结束时有更多的话题可以聊，而不是盯着彼此以及那些让我们不快乐的事情。

如果我们分开，多年来建立的友谊将是一个巨大的损失。如果《处于边缘》的作者能找到一些两人都能参与的外部兴趣，他们或许能度过这段婚姻的难关。

有些人计划参加全部三天的活动，而另一些人则只会在其中一个晚上光临。少数人计划在下周六通过开车前往印第安纳州的米勒海滩纳尔逊·阿尔格伦博物馆（Nelson Algren Museum of Miller Beach），来延续阿尔格伦的庆祝活动，以庆祝《城市》（“City”）第50周年纪念版（由教师大卫·施密特根斯和萨维奇注释的版本）出版25周年。随行的还有博物馆董事会成员迪克·贝尔斯和

经历过，做得更多

我很高兴你和你的配偶致力于丰富彼此的生活，并让这种丰富地延伸到你们的结合之中。

对于夫妻来说，共同努力重新了解对方以及了解自己是有帮助的。

关于原信的另一点说明。一些人建议，如果写信者的丈夫行为发生了剧烈变化，其原因可能比简单的退休更为复杂。进行一次医疗评估以排除更严重的情况可能是值得的。

亲爱的“经历过”：感谢你提供的这一绝佳视角。退休后的婚姻状态可能完全不同，就像在抚养孩子、护理病人或生命中的许多其他阶段时完全不同一样。

阿尔格伦。他们是作家，也是朋友。两人都聪明且充满活力。保罗·杜里卡是芝加哥历史博物馆的展览主管，并作为《地狱口袋指南》（Pocket Guide to Hell）的创作者运营导览和活动。比尔·萨维奇是西北大学的教授，教授芝加哥历史、文学和文化课程，重点研究阿尔格伦。

“我想这个主意是我们当时在米勒酒吧（Miller's Pub）喝啤酒时想出来的，”杜里卡说。“我们都认为这本书具有持续的现实意义。而这次活动是确保阿尔格伦被人们铭记的另一种方式。”

在每个停靠点，杜里卡和萨维奇（以及其他人）将朗读《城市》的选段，并提供历史和传记信息。

“与《城市》的一个主要对比点是（卡尔）桑德堡的诗作《芝加哥》，”萨维奇说。“没错，两者都过时了，我们不再是世界的‘猪肉’屠夫，但桑德堡和阿尔格伦捕捉到了依然存在的元素。这座‘骗子与老实人’的城市就是我们的现状，而纳尔逊的语言依然如此有力。”

萨维奇还将带来最初刊登《城市》部分章节的《假日》（Holiday）杂志，以及他庞大的阿尔格伦收藏品中的其他物品。

现场将有音乐和其他惊喜。门票价格非常合理，在 $5 到 $20. 之间。设有现金吧。

活动于周五晚上 7 p.m. 在 Bernice's Tavern 开始，这是一家根基深厚的资深社区酒馆，位于 3238 S. Halsted St.。阿尔格伦小时候住在南区，崇拜白袜队。他在《城市》中利用该队 1919 年的“黑袜丑闻”对腐败进行了一些生动的观察。

周六下午 1 p.m.，活动移至位于 209 W. North Ave. 的 Old Town Ale House。这里被已故的罗杰·伊伯特称为“我所知道的世界最好的酒吧”，阿尔格伦也经常在这里喝酒。馆内挂满了长期常客、作家兼讲述者布鲁斯·埃利奥特创作的充满力量感的画作。他的阿尔格伦肖像画是墙上最大的画作之一。

最后一站于周日下午 5 p.m. 在 Hideout 开始，地址为 1354 W. Wabansia Ave.。这是规模最大的场所。这里甚至有一个舞台，因此将是最热闹的，会有不少朗读者参加，包括记者莱斯特·门森、啤酒历史学家利兹·加里贝、教师兼 Hideout 前业主之一的蒂姆·图滕、诗人格雷戈里奥·戈麦斯·阿瓜约、作家德米特里·萨马罗夫以及电台主持人马里奥·史密斯。现场将出售由伊森·德埃科尔创作的限量版海报。

经典回顾 TCM焦点：侠盗电影 TCM, 晚上7点开始

Errol Flynn和Maureen O'Hara领衔1952年的《反抗所有旗帜》（Against All Flags）（如图），而Burt Lancaster则在俏皮的冒险片《绯红海盗》（The Crimson Pirate，1952年）中展现其运动天赋。随着1950年代电视的出现，紧张的制片厂开始回避成本高昂的历史史诗片，但也有例外——其中最令人愉悦的莫过于

1952年的幽默剧《绯红海盗》，Lancaster在片中饰演一名最灵活的无赖，经常大胆地赤裸上身，在桅杆之间飞跃时总是露出灿烂的笑容。在一个令人难忘的场景中，他俯身而下，亲吻了一位刚刚宣布“要是能有什么东西打破这次航行的单调就好了”的厌倦女子。侠盗的生活没有一刻是枯燥的。在由Stewart Granger主演的弗里茨·朗（Fritz Lang）作品《月舰队》（Moonfleet，1955年）中，基调变得更加阴暗。这些电影都具有该类型片对动作和浪漫的热爱，但每部电影都为冒险带来了截然不同的风格。

电视问答

主播亚历山大是否已转投其他电视新闻频道？

资深记者彼得·亚历山大在离开NBC后，在MS NOW主持《局势分析》（State of Play）。保罗·莫里吉 / 盖蒂图片社 2025

作者：里奇·赫尔登费尔斯 论坛新闻服务

问：您能告诉我资深NBC记者彼得·亚历山大怎么了吗？我已经好几周没在任何新闻广播中看到他了。 答：一段时间前，作为更大规模公司变革的一部分，NBC新闻和MSNBC分家了，这意味着新闻人员也随之分流。

亚历山大在NBC工作22年后离职，成为了前MSNBC的主播，该频道现更名为MS NOW（意为“我的新闻、观点与世界之源”）。

他在那里的职责包括在东部时间工作日上午11点主持《彼得·亚历山大局势分析》。

问：我很喜欢在The CW频道观看的第一季《法律与秩序：多伦多：刑事意图》。第二季会在The CW播出吗？如果会，什么时候播出？ 答：这部加入“法律与秩序”宇宙的加拿大篇第二季将于10月5日在The CW开播。

根据该网络的说法，该剧以“多伦多最出色的侦探搭档——侦探警佐亨利·格拉夫（艾登·杨饰）和弗兰基·贝特曼（凯瑟琳·门罗饰）为主角，他们能发现他人可能忽略的线索，并始终利用自己独特的调查技巧解决最棘手的案件。”

这是对原美国版《刑事意图》（2001-2011）的重新演绎，原版曾有几组不同的演员阵容，其中最令人难忘的是文森特·多诺弗里奥和凯瑟琳·埃尔比。此外还有法语版和俄语版。

问：在20世纪60年代初，曾有一部由约翰·纽兰主持的半小时剧集叫《超越一步》（One Step Beyond）。它很像《迷离空间》，但更多是关于超自然、灵异或无法解释的现象，而非科学幻想。为什么这部剧不在MeTV等电视频道播出？

答：这部诡异故事集最初名为《铝业公司呈现：超越一步》，随后在辛迪加发行时简称为《超越一步》，于1959年至1961年间在ABC首播。

它不仅因故事而获得赞誉，还因纽兰的主持（他同时兼任导演）而受到称赞，一位评论家曾说：“你能感觉到这家伙很喜欢让你感到毛骨悚然。”

虽然您在MeTV上没看到它，但它仍然可以通过Tubi、Plex和YouTube观看。此外还有DVD合集。

问：我一直在寻找一部60年代的电影，因为我只记得几个细节。讲述的是一个男人与一家百货公司有矛盾，于是与魔鬼达成协议，要求在圣诞节前将店里的商品全部清空，让他们没东西可卖。魔鬼履行了协议，让其他达成协议的人进来把所有东西搬走。后来这个男人改变了主意，决定不要破坏大家的节日，于是让魔鬼把所有东西搬回来。

答：虽然部分细节有所出入，但我们认为您记得的是1973年的电视电影《可怜的魔鬼》（Poor Devil），由萨米·戴维斯二世主演；它是某部电视连续剧的试播集，但该剧最终未能制作。

根据李·戈德堡的《未售出电视试播集》一书，戴维斯饰演一名“魔鬼（克里斯托弗·李饰）的无能门徒，总是无法赢得灵魂”。

该电影的演员还包括杰克·克鲁格曼和亚当·韦斯特。您仍然可以在YouTube上看到它，尽管画质不佳。

星座运势

如果你的生日是9月15日：在经历了截至目前可能有些艰辛的2026年后，今年接下来的时间看起来会更加轻松且更有利可图。在本月下旬到10月期间，可以进行许多富有成效的思考。请记录下对未来有价值的见解。

白羊座（3月21日-4月19日）：虽然今天的通用星象处于上升期，但绝不建议进行冲动地财务操作，尤其是目前涉及他人时。金牛座（4月20日-5月20日）：如果你目前单身且在约会，需要警惕“爱意轰炸”这种技巧。它能迅速催生亲密感和连接，但不给人们留出足够的时间来观察对方是否是个好人。

双子座（5月21日-6月20日）：你可能必须全力以赴才能将某事推上一个隐喻中的陡坡，随后能量可能会突然达到临界质量，并像过山车的下降段一样迅速流动。

巨蟹座（6月21日-7月22日）：启动一个项目可能需要一些努力，但在某个时间点，你的灵感女神应该会觉醒，让你的创造力几乎毫不费力地流淌。

狮子座（7月23日-8月22日）：控制与逃离控制的能量可能会以某种形式出现在你的生活空间中。最好的解决方法是在有益的统一与个人表达的自由之间找到平衡。处女座（8月23日-9月22日）：如果一份沟通函逻辑通顺且自然流畅，那么它应该是没问题的；如果你突然产生一种想要挑战极限的冲动，你可能会显得过于激进。天秤座（9月23日-10月22日）：如果对方要求用金钱来证明信仰，不要被卷进去，这是一个巨大的危险信号。没有事实支撑的信仰并不是选择投资或进行重大购买的方式。天蝎座（10月23日-11月21日）：自发性可以带来很多乐趣，但并非每一次冲动都能带来积极的结果。在行动之前请权衡利弊，即使在今天相对仁慈的星象之下也是如此。射手座（11月22日-12月21日）：在潜意识的冲动促使你做出可能与长期目标不一致的选择和行动之前，请留意这些冲动。

摩羯座（12月22日-1月19日）：真正的朋友不会让朋友犯重大错误。如果你正准备冒险，请帮助朋友避免问题，或者认真听取建议。

水瓶座（1月20日-2月18日）：无论近期压力如何，在职场中要保持目的性，而非突然或反应式地行动。长期目标需要胜过瞬间的冲动，这才是建立自律生活的途径。

双鱼座（2月19日-3月20日）：某些令人惊讶的事情可能会吸引你的注意，但在做好功课之前不要贸然加入。

桥牌

东西方脆弱，南家发牌

Grand Avenue 作者：Mike Thompson

一次正常的叫牌导致了一个糟糕的合同。手牌配合不佳，且方块的领牌阻碍了任何开发和利用梅花套牌的机会。目前有 7 个顶端赢墩，获得另外 2 个赢墩的唯一机会在于黑桃套牌。如果西家持有 K，则毫无机会。如果西家持有单张或双张 K，将给东家提供一个阻挡墩。如果持有 3 张或更多

叫牌过程：

南家< / td><>西家< / ><>北家< / ><>东家< / >< / tr><><>2NT< / ><>过< / ><>3♣< / ><>过< / >< / ><><>3♥< / ><>过< / ><>3NT< / ><>全部过< / >< / table>

首攻：方块 Q

K，且西家可以一直持住他的 K 直到该花色的第三轮。东家必须持有单张或双张 K。抱着这个希望，南家在第二墩应从明手出黑桃 8（或 9）。如果东家出 K，南家打出 A 并在随后向明手领牌，如果西家打出 10 或 J，则弃墩。随后的挤压将使他获得 3 个黑桃赢墩。

如果东家在黑桃 8 上打小牌，南家也应如此。西家将用 10 赢墩，但接下来的黑桃 A 将使东家的 K 掉下来，并留下针对 J 的挤压位置。如果东家最初持有 K-J 或 K-10 双张，他最好在第一轮就打出 K，从而让庄家在选择获胜打法时面临艰难的猜测。当然，南家有可能猜对，但这将是最优的防守。赞赏庄家能够想象到该合同并非毫无希望。

但你必须考虑到教练本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）及其进攻体系的到来，并注意到在周日以 59-37 在卡罗来纳取得赛季首胜后，在对手得分达到或超过 37 分的最近三次比赛中，他们的战绩现在是 2-1。

其中包括上赛季第 9 周在辛辛那提以 47-42 获胜，以及八周后在旧金山以 42-38 告负。在常规赛中，当对手得分达到或超过 37 分时，该球队的战绩为 4-103，因此每个人都明白，在处于新政权的早期阶段，这种防守表现通常不会让他们处于获胜方。

黑豹队四分卫布赖斯·杨在周日的表现相当犀利，唯一的失误是第二节末段，新秀马利克·穆罕默德二世（Malik Muhammad II）截断了一次传给杰伦·科克（Jalen Coker）的传球。杨完成了 23

熊队在进入新赛季时不必担心状态生锈，他们更担心的是被热化。

周日在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的美国银行体育场，开球前的温度为 89 度，湿度为 48%，导致“体感温度”达到 94 度。

在北卡罗来纳州一个闷热的下午，经历了一场持续 3 小时 32 分钟、最终以 59-37 获胜的赛季首战后，熊队教练本·约翰逊对他球队应对这一切的方式感到自豪。

“条件艰苦，天气当然对双方都产生了影响，”他在周一的一次虚拟新闻发布会上告诉记者。“尽管经历了漫长而艰苦的训练营，但很难不让这样的高温在一定程度上让你感到疲劳，所以我们必须克服这一点。”

“我认为这对我们非常有益。我们只想找到一种方法，在登上飞机时能以 1-0 的战绩开始，而我们找到了实现这一目标的方法。NFL 的第一周在整个联盟范围内总是很有趣。”

约翰逊在伤病方面没有新消息，但随着熊队准备在周日于士兵球场迎接主场揭幕战对阵明尼苏达维京人队，他将对此进行监测。

“我们的状态相当不错，”他说。

以下是我们周一从熊队那里了解到的三件事。

1. 本·约翰逊尚未对二线防守发出警报。

对于一个导致卡罗来纳黑豹队四分卫布赖斯·杨获得 361 码传球码数的单位来说，这一天可以说过得很糟糕，

总经理盖茨预见球员评估流程将发生变化

作者：LaMond Pope 芝加哥论坛报

克利夫兰 —— 克里斯·盖茨注意到，周一飞往克利夫兰的航程与近年来的旅程有所不同。

“毋庸置疑，我们已经走了很长一段路，”白袜队总经理周一下午在进步球场表示。“因为很多不同的原因，今年是令人兴奋的一年。对于这些球员来说，能走到那里与守护者队竞争并看看接下来的发展，是一个多么好的机会。”

接下来的赛程：白袜队对阵守护者队，周二下午 5:40，CHSN 频道

白袜队在进入周一这场关键系列赛时，位居美国联盟中区第一，领先守护者队半场。但他们近期陷入了困境，在进入本系列赛前，6 场比赛输了 5 场，14 场比赛输了 10 场。

“整体而言，这支球队非常有韧性，”盖茨说。“就在你认为他们可能会陷入低谷且需要一段时间才能走出来的时候，他们总是能反弹。”

“我知道我们现在正处于某种困境中，而且赌注很高。但如果你看看我们无法走出来的原因，那些原因其实微其微，真的是这样。显然，目前的处境存在压力因素。你已经处于这个阶段的后期——”

熊队

接 C1 页

职业生涯中第二高的总数，以及三次达阵传球。

对于熊队排名前两位的外侧角卫来说，情况尤其如此。

泰里克·史蒂文森（Tyrique Stevenson）为在自己防守范围内发生的两次杰伦·科克（Jalen Coker）达阵承担了责任：一次是沿着左侧边线的 51 码长传，另一次是 8 码达阵，科克在史蒂文森采取错误角度后摆脱了其擒抱。

“那个双向跑动（double move），我们肯定知道它会来——我知道它会来——所以我必须在技术上做得更好，并确保我能够处于抢球的位置，”史蒂文森说道。

根据 NFL Pro 的 Next Gen Stats 数据，史蒂文森允许的 158.3 传球评分仅比队友角卫杰隆·约翰逊（Jaylon Johnson）的 156.3 略高。约翰逊在第 1 周允许的接球码数（131）在联盟中排名第二，仅次于底特律狮队角卫 D.J. 里德（D.J. Reed）的 141 码。

从积极的一面来看，约翰逊在第四节迫使黑豹队接球手特泰罗亚·麦金莱（Tetairoa McMillan）掉球。

“他对 4 号球员的击球，我的意思是，那太惊人了，”防守截锋肯塔维乌斯·斯特里特（Kentavius Street）说道。“他处于人盯人防守，在防守一个横穿跑动，这很难。”

本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）表示，他在赛后在更衣室里与两名角卫都进行了交谈。

“他们很高兴球队赢得了比赛，但他们两人都觉得自己的表现可以更好，录像在我看来也是如此，”他说道。“他们两人的训练营表现都很强，所以（我们）非常希望能够迅速进入状态，但我认为在那场比赛中，我们并没有达到预期的效果。”

教练认为两人都具有韧性。

“他们知道自己有天赋，而且这支球队需要他们，所以他们会重新振作起来，没问题，”他说道。

2. 新秀迪伦·蒂内曼和马利克·穆罕默德表现出色。

本·约翰逊对担任强安全卫首发的蒂内曼和担任镍角卫首发的穆罕默德给予了高度评价。

蒂内曼是首轮第25顺位被选中，他在防守端完成了8次擒抱，在特勤组完成了2次擒抱，此外还有一次击飞传球，并在第四节一次击中四分卫，干扰了杨传给麦克米伦深球的时机。

“我不确定之前预想会是什么样，但这绝对是一个不错的NFL首秀，”获得了比赛之球的蒂内曼说道。

第四轮选秀球员穆罕默德在第二节完成了一次拦截，扼杀了黑豹队后期的进攻推进，并击飞了两次传球。

周日，在美银体育场的第一节比赛中，黑豹队接球手贾伦·科克在熊队角卫杰伦·约翰逊面前庆祝接球。BRIAN CASSELLA / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“伙计，在那次拦截之后我感觉棒极了，我不骗你，”穆罕默德说。

约翰逊称蒂内曼的表现是“职业生涯的一个伟大开端”。

“他出现在球场的每一个角落，”约翰逊说。“在整个训练营期间，他就是那种虽然会犯错，但很少犯两次同样错误的人。他在开阔地带的表现非常出色，确保能完成擒抱。”

约翰逊原以为是蒂内曼造成了麦克米伦的掉球，但这位新秀其实是抱住了接球手的腿，为这次失误创造了条件。

“结果是杰伦（Johnson）从上方击球将其击出，”他说。“（蒂内曼）当时就在旁边。”

约翰逊表示穆罕默德在防守覆盖中“无所畏惧”且紧贴对手，他还特别点名表扬了自由安全卫卡姆·刘易斯。

刘易斯在训练营中似乎在与泽维尔·伍兹的竞争中落败，未能获得替代受伤的科比·布莱恩特的先发位置，但伍兹因腹股沟受伤未能上场。

“向卡姆·刘易斯致敬，”约翰逊说。“他在今天开始前甚至不知道自己将担任我们的安全卫首发。我们那天早上检查了泽维尔·伍兹的情况，当我们决定让他不参赛时，卡姆成为了我们的安全卫首发，并且打得非常好。所以我想公开表扬他。”

3. 防守线球员起跑速度更快。

熊队教练在整个夏天一直强调，防守线球员需要更快地离开球阵线并给四分卫施压。

基础高于战术。

尽管仅一周的样本参考价值有限，但他们的平均起跑时间（0.83秒）看起来比去年联盟最差的0.92秒好得多。

尽管如此，这并没有太大的意义，且在Week 1转化为联盟第七低的施压率（27.9%）。

“我们的起跑状态不稳定，”斯特里特说，他与蒙特兹·斯威特共同完成了熊队本场两次擒杀中的一次。“我们希望前线表现完美。我们希望一切都能像练习时那样进行，但有时球员会慢下来，有时又太快了。”

“我们希望始终保持极强的侵略性，而这一点我们没做到。我们可能只达到了400的成功率，而这个数字必须更高，理想情况下我们希望达到800, .900. 但事实并非如此。”

在37次传球中完成了361码的推进并获得三次达阵，且在口袋区足够灵活，能够延长一些获得大幅推进的进攻回合。

黑豹队的冲球距离为125码，但到了第四节，当他们处于追分状态且显然其防守端无法提供太多抵抗时，他们不得不基本放弃地面进攻。

在第四节的第一档进攻中，熊队角卫杰伦·约翰逊在将球从特泰罗亚·麦克米伦手中击出时造成了掉球。这是一次出色的防守，当时新秀安全卫迪伦·蒂内曼正向下冲刺准备完成擒抱。线卫德文·布什随后回收了掉球。

“这些收获对我们来说意义重大，”本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）说道。“我们讨论过（弃踢手）托里·泰勒（Tory Taylor）在整个训练营期间踢出的那种‘香蕉球’。对方在接那次弃踢时失误，而我们利用这一点，这对势头的转变至关重要。此外，我们在防守端又制造了两次机会，这对我们来说都是关键球。”

但与熊队一样，豹队也有几次关键发挥，包括一次传给科克（Coker）的 51 码达阵传球，当时科克跑到了角卫泰里克·史蒂文森（Tyrique Stevenson）的身后。这并非一次真正的双重变向动作（double move）导致史蒂文森被后场情况干扰而失位，而是一次直线冲刺，随后科克向外切出，史蒂文森未能跟上路线。在那之后，他已无法追上。

赛季前人们担心熊队在防守端缺乏能改变局面的球员，这一点在比赛中显现了出来。无论是前七名防守球员还是后场防守组都是如此。防守表现不够稳健，且未能制造太多机会——公平地说，熊队制造的机会比豹队多——但熊队也让对方获得了许多大码数推进。

简单的防守目标就是击中四分卫且不让对方打出爆发性进攻。熊队完成了两次擒杀——蒙特兹·斯威特（Montez Sweat）和肯塔维乌斯·斯特里特（Kentavius Street）各一次——以及由斯威特、斯特里特、锡尼曼（Thieneman）、布什（Bush）和格雷迪·贾雷特（Grady Jarrett）完成的五次击中四分卫。卡罗来纳队有九次进攻推进达到了 15 码或更多。

一旦这种情况发生，熊队将会丢掉大量分数，并且必须得分很多才有机会获胜。扬（Young）的 361 码是熊队自 2020 年以来允许对方获得的第五高码数。上赛季，孟加拉虎队的替补乔·弗拉科（Joe Flacco）曾让他们丢了 470 码。

防守组很幸运能被熊队的进攻组救回来，但这可能就是这支球队本赛季的常态。

对于防守协调员丹尼斯·艾伦（Dennis Allen）来说，有利的一点是他可以在球队获胜之后向大家提出修正意见。这总是能让过程变得更简单。

“坦白说，就是让（进攻组）失望了，”杰隆·约翰逊（Jaylon Johnson）在谈到自己的反应时说道。“我们让对方通过爆发性传球重新回到了比赛中。我们必须找到彻底击败对方的方法，并展现出我们的风格。”

熊队在后场防守组进行了人员轮换。资深新援泽维尔·伍兹（Xavier Woods）原定在安全卫位置上首发，接替自由球员签约的科比·布莱恩特（Coby Bryant）。但上周训练中的腹股沟受伤限制了伍兹，导致他未能出战。

因此，熊队将卡姆·刘易斯（Cam Lewis）移到了安全卫位置，他原本预计将在镍角卫（nickel cornerback）位置上承担大部分——或至少一部分——出场时间。这使得第四轮选秀球员穆罕默德（Muhammad）在镍角卫位置上出场。

“我不会说这很有挑战性，”本·约翰逊在谈到人员变动时说。“我认为球员们对此有所准备。大家进来后都学习了自己的位置。对我们来说，这个过程很顺畅。”

“有很多东西我们需要清理。我们必须想办法尽到自己的职责。”

在被具体问到防守时，约翰逊从大局出发。

“我们和球队讨论过，想办法带着一场胜利登机，”他说。“我们做到了，我们实现了这个目标。现在我们正处于一个在三个阶段以及整个团队集体提升的竞赛中。这就是我们要做的。”

“我们会回顾录像，看看哪里可以改进。从现在起，比赛只会越来越难。但我告诉那些球员，在这样一个漫长的赛季中，你可以认为我们在早期打出了最差的水平，然后我们会不断地变得更好、更好、更好。所以这才是核心信息。三个阶段，我们每个人每周都必须进步。”

“进步从来不是线性的。过程中会有一些起伏，但只要我们能尽一切努力，在比赛结束时找到获胜的方法就好。”

两次击飞传球、一次拦截，以及在第四次进攻未完成时对麦克米伦（McMillan）的紧密覆盖，让穆罕默德的首次亮相表现相当出色。

这位第四轮秀在休赛期和训练营期间承受了巨大的压力，当时他被要求同时学习外侧角卫和槽位角卫的防守。有时教练希望球员在被投入另一个位置之前先精通一个位置。熊队教练组坚信对球员进行交叉训练，即使是新秀也不例外。这有助于他们全面学习战术体系，并让他们在需要填补多个位置时做好准备。

穆罕默德在杨传给科克球的路径上截击，完成了他的首次 NFL 抄截。他将这归功于二线教练阿尔·哈里斯，感谢他帮助自己理解黑豹队攻击后卫的方式。

“进入本周之前我们就知道，他们喜欢跑很多过顶路线（overs）、斜插路线（digs）以及很多向内切入的路线，”穆罕默德说。“最关键的部分就是知道他们喜欢做什么。知道你处于什么样的防守覆盖，知道你的职责，然后就去比赛。”

在这种情况下，科克正在跑一条深层过顶路线，而穆罕默德决定尝试截击。为什么？

“问题是，（哈里斯）总是因为我不截击而责备我，”他说。“我只是觉得，我不知道……我就是有这种感觉。我截击了，结果球果然就在那里。”

为什么哈里斯不希望角卫截击路线？我不想代表教练发言，但他可能是在教他们防守对方的上场肩部，这样他们可以保持紧凑的覆盖，并处于能够完成擒抱的位置。此外，如果截击路线失败，那么，就等着面对灾难吧。那次进攻可能会直接变成一个达阵。

穆罕默德没有失手，他的这次抄截帮助熊队在失球数上实现了正 2 的优势。

“看到（穆罕默德）真正进入状态真是太棒了，”本·约翰逊说。

在第四次进攻尝试中，穆罕默德从开球那一刻起就知道自己是被盯上的目标。麦克米伦是杨最好的接球目标，而且目前每一位四分卫都会测试这位新秀。这是一种必经的洗礼。

穆罕默德在 5 码后就与麦克米伦发生了肢体接触。他举起双臂，似乎在示意自己没有违规接触。

“我重心很低，而且他也稍微把我推开了，”穆罕默德说。“我觉得这可能是 50-50. 的情况。他是个大块头。”

教练们可能会针对这次进攻给穆罕默德提出一些细小的改进建议，并且会有修正。

“我很期待看录像，因为你不可能打出一场完美的比赛，”穆罕默德说。“按照阿尔的执教方式，他一定会找到某些需要指导你的地方。”

尽管贾戴·沃克在接卡莱布·威廉姆斯 1 码的达阵传球时非常兴奋，但在完成几次封堵后，他的表现同样活跃——只是少了那个小舞步。

当熊队采用 13 人员配置（配备三名近端锋）时，沃克是主要接球手，他不仅在跑球进攻中，而且在传球进攻中为队友接球手封堵时也展现出了天赋。

当被问及本场比赛最喜欢的进攻时，本·约翰逊说：“凯尔（莫南盖）突破的那次长距离进攻。我看到像贾戴那样在前面用屁股封堵，试图帮他冲出去，这些东西让我兴奋。当我看到小个子球员封堵，看到进攻线围绕球推进并推挤对方时，这些东西让我热血沸腾。”

卡利夫·雷蒙德完成了一些关键封堵，而他是球队中体型最小的球员之一，这证明了约翰逊刚到任时所宣扬的理念：“不封堵，没球权（No block, no rock）。”

“你付出多少，就收获多少，”沃克在总结自己作为封堵者的态度时说道。

或许由于小腿受伤在整个训练期间受到限制，罗马·奥登泽的上场次数被稍微减少了。如果是这样，沃克可能成了受益者。关键在于利用好你获得的机会，而这位一年前的未选秀新秀正试图扩大自己的角色。

“他这周练得非常刻苦，”约翰逊说道。“他是我们表现最稳定的接球手之一。我认为他做得非常好。看到他从中获益，是一件美好的事情。”

吉布森加入斯普利特教练组

作者：Julia Poe

芝加哥论坛报

本赛季，公牛队的一位宠儿将回归故里。

前公牛队内线球员塔吉·吉布森（Taj Gibson）周一宣布在效力 NBA 17 个赛季后退役。随后，公牛队在当天晚些时候宣布，他将回到芝加哥，加入新任主教练蒂亚戈·斯普利特（Tiago Splitter）的教练组担任助理教练。

对于吉布森来说，这是一次期待已久的转型。在他漫长的 NBA 生涯中，他凭借正直的品格在更衣室中拥有极高威信，并确立了自己作为一名睿智球员的声誉。

“篮球给了我实现梦想的机会，”吉布森在社交媒体的一篇帖子中写道。“作为一个来自纽约布鲁克林的孩子，我很幸运能有机会在最高舞台上展示我的天赋。从福特格林住宅区到南加州大学，再到芝加哥公牛队，以及之后遇到的每一支球队和每一个城市，我对每一个时刻、每一位队友、每一位教练以及每一个相信我的人心存感激。”

“我希望成为队友们可以信赖的人，成为一个在踏上球场的那一刻起，就能带来强韧、活力、领导力和热忱的人。”

公牛队在 2009 年以第 26 顺位选中了吉布森。他在芝加哥效力了近八个赛季，直到 2017 年在交易截止日被交易至俄克拉荷马城雷霆队。

在作为新秀首发 70 场比赛后，吉布森在芝加哥接下来的五个赛季中大部分时间担任替补，直到最后两个赛季重新回到以首发为主的角色。他在 2010 年入选了最佳新秀第一阵容，并在年度最佳第六人投票中三次进入前 10 名，其中 2014 年排名第二。

吉布森在代表公牛队出战的 562 场比赛（其中 229 场首发）中，场均贡献 9.4 分、6.4 个篮板和 1.2 次盖帽。

“（吉布森）是一个非常真诚的人，”德里克·罗斯（Derrick Rose）在公牛队发布的吉布森退役视频中说道。“在比赛期间，他是我总能请教问题的人。在更衣室里，我们关系非常密切。他内心是一个赢家。（吉布森）关心这个大家庭里的每一个人。”

在 2017 年的交易后，吉布森与明尼苏达森林狼队签约并效力了两个赛季。随后，他分两次效力于纽约尼克斯队，共计 $3^{1 / 2}$ 个赛季，并在华盛顿奇才队、底特律活塞队和夏洛特黄蜂队有过短暂的效力经历。他的职业生涯在孟菲斯灰熊队结束，在 2025-26 赛季出场 10 场。

吉布森在芝加哥一直深受喜爱。每当他回归，联合中心（United Center）的观众都会为他鼓掌，偶尔还会响起要求让这位资深内线球员替补上场的呼喊声。2024 年 12 月，当吉布森代表黄蜂队进入比赛时，球迷们为其起立鼓掌。

“这让我知道芝加哥接纳了一个来自布鲁克林的孩子，”吉布森在赛后表示。“我不想掉眼泪什么的，但这座城市对我一直非常好。我不知道还能说什么……现在说到这件事，我真的很激动。”

吉布森是公牛队周一宣布的七名助理教练之一，此外还包括三名球员发展教练和五名视频协调员：

■ 助理教练：布莱克·阿恩（Blake Ahearn）、乔丹·布林克（Jordan Brink，兼任球员发展总监）、塔吉·吉布森（Taj Gibson）、乔纳·赫斯库（Jonah Herscu）、雷克斯·卡拉米安（Rex Kalamian）、贾梅尔·麦克米伦（Jamelle McMillan）和小韦斯·安塞尔德（Wes Unseld Jr.）。

■ 球员发展：马丁·兰齐克（Martin Rancik，高级球员发展教练）、皮特·克劳福德（Pete Crawford）和 LD 威廉姆斯（LD Williams）。

■ 视频：杰里迈亚·邦苏（Jeremiah Bonsu，首席视频协调员）、迈卡·伯诺（Micah Burno，助理视频协调员）、杰登·哈德威（Jayden Hardaway）、德尔冯·约翰逊（Delvon Johnson）和布兰登·莱夫威奇（Brandon Leftwich）。

阿恩（来自灰熊队）、布林克（来自尼克斯队）、卡拉米安（来自密尔沃基雄鹿队）和麦克米伦（来自活塞队）此前均担任 NBA 助理教练；而赫斯库曾任波特兰开拓者队下属 G 联赛球队 Rip City Remix 的教练，斯普利特此前也在该队执教。

安塞尔德、兰齐克、克劳福德、威廉姆斯、邦苏和伯诺则从原公牛队教练组留任。

火焰队负于革命队，图尔格曼贡献进球与助攻

美联社

多尔·图尔格曼（Dor Turgeman）在周日于士兵球场（Soldier Field）举行的比赛中，上半场打入一球，下半场贡献一次助攻；佩顿·米勒（Peyton Miller）在他第50次MLS首发中取得进球，新英格兰革命队以2-1击败火焰队。

革命队（13-8-4）凭借43分独占东部联盟第三名，落后排名第一的纳什维尔队11分。

火焰队（11-7-6）此前在创俱乐部纪录的63,094名观众见证下，与迈阿密国际队战成1-1平。

图尔格曼在第39分钟率先破门。他在一次长传球的单挑竞争中胜过火焰队后卫萨姆·罗杰斯（Sam Rogers），在门将克里斯·布雷迪（Chris Brady）飞身扑救时将球射入网底。

第47分钟，米勒在远端球门前处于完全空档，将图尔格曼横传球轻巧推入，将比分扩大为2-0。

第62分钟，马伦·海勒-塞拉西（Maren Haile-Selassie）在18码区顶端起脚射门，球飞入远角，将火焰队的比分追至2-1。

革命队教练马尔科·米特罗维奇（Marko Mitrović）在2016-19年期间曾担任火焰队的助理教练，此次回到芝加哥面对其前东家。

NWSL：星队 1, 荆棘队 1

泰勒·伍德（Taylor Wood）在下半场补时第二分钟通过头球打入她的首个NWSL进球，在防守端经历又一个艰难之夜后，为客场作战的星队挽回一场平局。

波特兰队在第22分钟取得1-0领先，当时中场杰西·弗莱明（Jessie Fleming）将球传入禁区，球擦到星队后卫迈塔内（Maitane）身上，飞过门将艾丽莎·内尔（Alyssa Naeher）的肩膀入网，形成一个乌龙球。

这使得星队单赛季失球数达到54, 个，追平了NWSL的单赛季最高失球纪录，该纪录正是星队在上一赛季创下的。他们目前仍有六场比赛待赛。

在星队（5-17-2）此前两场比赛共失12球（0-6负于北卡罗来纳勇气队，6-1负于丹佛峰会队）之后，内尔在比赛剩余时间内确保了荆棘队（11-7-6）未能再次破门。

本赛季，所以你们打了这么多场比赛。但这是一个持续努力、竞争并保持积极氛围的团队。

盖茨（Getz）继续说道：“回顾过去一周左右的情况，感觉有些脱节，比如你打击感很好，但投球表现不佳；或者投球很好，但打击感不佳。目前，我们希望能够重新调整，回到之前的状态。”

在与记者的广泛交流中，盖茨还谈到了在主管迈克·雪莉（Mike Shirley）周六辞职后，业余球探职位的后续安排。

“不仅是业余球探方面，整个球员评估流程，我们正在探索很多不同的方式，”盖茨说。“我们已经这样做一段时间了。这不仅仅是一次明确的重组，而是改变在该领域开展业务的方式。与此同时，我们不会任命临时接任者。我们将规划出我们在所有领域对球探工作的未来愿景。”

“一旦规划完成，我们将确定组织的具体需求，如果这意味着需要从组织外部招聘，那就这样办。但这始于对我们希望该职能如何运作和呈现的深刻理解。”

《竞技报》（The Athletic）在周六晚间报道称，雪莉因涉嫌对同事或在同事面前发表种族主义和性别歧视言论而受到调查。白袜队拒绝就人事问题发表评论。

当被问及总监职位的变动是否影响了对球员评估流程的重新评估时，盖茨（Getz）表示：“一段时间以来，我们一直在寻找改进所有领域球探流程的方法。我们将继续坚持这样做。至于领导层，我们需要弄清楚我们希望这些职位分别发挥什么样的作用，以及我们真正致力于实现的目标是什么。”

这一过程仍在进行中。而更紧迫的是，球队希望在这次季后赛冲刺期间采取措施实现反弹。

盖茨表示，关键点包括“比赛的前几局，尽量减少对方得分，并尽早取得领先且维持住这些领先优势”。

他指出了跑垒和防守的重要性，并指出球队的牛棚在进入周一之前处于良好状态。

“凭借我们拥有的投手资源，我们有不同的武器和不同的方式来攻击守护者队，”盖茨说。“在进攻方面，不能仅仅依赖于爆发性的局数，要尝试寻找制造得分的方法。而这始于高质量的击球表现。希望我们的阵容深度能够提供这些高质量的击球，从而给对方的先发投手或任何在场上的投手制造困难。这就是我们的期望，也是我们追求的目标。”

“我们显然有能力做到这一点。如果现在就是时机，那就太好了。”

盖茨表示，“高度的无畏精神”支撑着白袜队走到了本赛季的这个阶段。

“我不想说他们完全没有压力，”盖茨说。“只是他们在压力面前反应良好，并且认为自己能击败任何人。”

“显然，当你处于赛程的这个阶段，且我们面临着如此重要的利益相关时，感觉可能会有些不同。但我们的职责是支持这些球员，提醒他们是什么让我们走到了今天，并让他们恢复到我们所知道的、能够自由发挥的状态。”

跨联盟

■ 季后赛争夺战：锁定席位的阶段已经开始，光芒队和酿酒人队成为首批锁定季后赛名额的球队。以下是棒球赛中剩余未决争夺战的快速回顾。在美联中，洋基队和红袜队几乎肯定将与光芒队一起代表美联东区进入季后赛。在周一的比赛开始前，光芒队在分区的领先优势对洋基队为舒适的4场比赛，且他们可能拥有平局决胜权，但这场争夺战尚未完全结束，因为两队将在常规赛最后一周进行四场系列赛。红袜队可以计划作为第二张外卡入围。这留下了三个可争夺的名额：美联中区冠军、美联西区冠军以及第三张外卡。白袜队在美联中区领先守护者队半场比赛，而守护者队在最后一张外卡的争夺中领先蓝鸟队1场比赛。太空人队在美联西区领先游骑兵队1场比赛，而游骑兵队在最后一张外卡的争夺中落后守护者队2场。其他所有球队落后守护者队至少4场。此外，美联中区和美联西区的领先者之间也在激烈竞争美联两个首轮轮空名额中的第二个。白袜队在这一竞争中领先太空人队 $1 \frac{1}{2}$ 场。在国联中，酿酒人队、勇士队和道奇队在各自的分区均拥有显著领先优势。酿酒人队获得首轮轮空的概率似乎相当稳妥。道奇队在另一个轮空名额的争夺中领先勇士队。外卡争夺战基本上是四支球队争夺三个名额——小熊队、费城人队、教士队和响尾蛇队。

■ 本周逆转之战：在1-6落后的情况下，巨人队在第八局下半猛攻拿下6分，在周三以7-6击败红雀队。所有这些得分均发生在两出局之后。布莱斯·埃尔德里奇击出满垒单打带回2分。随后乔纳·考克斯击出打点单打，李政候以两分二垒安打扳平比分。谢伊·惠特科姆的二垒安打将比分定格在7-6。根据 Baseball Savant 的数据，在第二出局之后，巨人队的获胜概率仅为1.1%。

1902年：芝加哥小熊队内野手 Tinker、Evers 和 Chance 共同完成了他们的第一次双杀。

周一赛果

■ 本周之队：教团队（Padres）以 6-0 的战绩在季后赛竞争中反超之背（D-backs）。教团队截至周日已取得七连胜，其中四场比赛仅以一分之差获胜，仅有一场胜差超过两分。梅森·米勒（Mason Miller）在这一连胜期间贡献了四次救援成功。

1946年：布鲁克林道奇队在比赛因小飞虫而中止的五局中，以 2-0 击败芝加哥小熊队。这些昆虫给球员、裁判和球迷带来了极大的困扰，导致比赛不得不停止。

1990年：鲍比·蒂格彭（Bobby Thigpen）投了一局，在芝加哥白袜队以 7-4 击败红袜队的比赛中，成为首位单赛季达成 50 次救援成功的救援投手。

■ 大都会队：德文·威廉姆斯（Devin Williams）自 8, 日起因右肩拉伤而缺阵，计划于周四面对击球手，并希望在本周末回归大都会队的牛棚。威廉姆斯在 12月签署了一份为期三年、价值 5100万美元 的合同，就在当时任救援投手埃德温·迪亚兹（Edwin Díaz）作为自由球员加盟道奇队之前。本赛季他在 19 次机会中取得 3-2，防御率 4.66，救援成功 16 次。在 4月 26日至 7月 30日的 31 场出场中，他的防御率曾为 2.73，但在最后两次出场中两局失三分，随后进入伤病名单（IL）。 — 美联社 ■ 本周表现：费城人队的赫苏斯·卢扎多（Jesús Luzardo）在

1996年：巴尔的摩金莺队在对阵底特律的比赛中击出五支本垒打，创下了棒球赛季本垒打纪录，其中包括马克·帕伦特（Mark Parent）在第三局打破纪录的一击，以及布雷迪·安德森（Brady Anderson）本年度第 10 支首棒本垒打。这些本垒打使金莺队的总数达到 243, 支，比 1961 年的纽约洋基队多 3 支。

周一的一场两安打完封勇士队的比赛中三振 12 人。凭借凯尔·施瓦伯（Kyle Schwarber）在第八局的本垒打，费城人队以 1-0 获胜，在耗时 1 小时, 51 分钟的比赛中，将与勇士队的四场系列赛战绩挽救为平手。但费城人队可能需要更多胜利才能留在国联东区（NL East）的竞争中。勇士队在周一之前领先五场比赛。

普罗维登斯解雇普兰茨后，普兰茨公开表态

作者：Steve Millar 每日南镇报（DAILY SOUTHOWN）

在普罗维登斯（Providence）周日宣布解雇主教练泰勒·普兰茨（Tyler Plantz）后，普兰茨分享了他的看法。

普兰茨向运营大学橄榄球时事通讯《内部地带》（The Inside Zone）的马特·福图纳（Matt Fortuna）发表了一份声明。

普兰茨表示，普罗维登斯校长约翰·默克利斯（John Merkelis）要求他在周六上午与其会面，随后要求普兰茨辞职。

“在不到一小时的会面中，默克利斯神父告知我，其他工作人员向他反映了几位不满的同事以及几位橄榄球运动员家长的意见，”普兰茨说。“他提到在为低级别球队安排比赛方面存在组织混乱的问题，但这并非我的职责。”

“他还表示，他对今年我管理大学招募的方式以及低级别训练的结构不满意。默克利斯神父明确表示这些因素是他唯一关注的问题，然后给了我辞职的选择。”

普兰茨是普罗维登斯的毕业生，曾在圣母大学（Notre Dame）效力。他表示周日再次与默克利斯会面，并拒绝辞职。

“我告知默克利斯神父，我不会辞职，因为我决定从大学橄榄球转到普罗维登斯天主教学校（Providence Catholic）是一个非常个人化的决定，我绝不会抛弃我的学生运动员或我们的球队，”普兰茨说。

普兰茨表示，截至周一上午，他尚未收到普罗维登斯终止其合同的正式通知。

“我对这一决定以及处理方式感到困惑，”普兰茨说。“自从被任命为主教练以来，我一直为我对普罗维登斯天主教凯尔特人队（Providence Catholic Celtics）所取得的成功所做的贡献感到自豪。”

普兰茨于2022年接任凯尔特人队的主教练，战绩为35-19. 他在执教的第一个赛季带领普罗维登斯队获得了4A组亚军，并在去年秋天获得了5A组第二名。

凯尔特人队在周五晚上以31-7击败了卡梅尔队（Carmel），战绩提升至4-0，并定于周五下午6点在拉格朗日公园（LaGrange Park）对阵纳匝雷特队（Nazareth，战绩1-3）。

进攻协调员亚当·尼森（Adam Nissen）已被任命为凯尔特人队的临时主教练。尼森在2019年至2024.年期间担任圣劳伦斯（St. Laurence）的主教练，随后在上一赛季加入了凯尔特人队的教练组。他在执教维京人队（Vikings）期间取得了35-28的战绩，并带领球队在2023年获得4A组亚军。

维京人四分卫默里下场比赛能否出战尚不明确

新闻服务

维京人队四分卫凯勒·默里（Kyler Murray）在本周初进入了 NFL 的脑震荡协议流程，继续从一次非法头部撞击中恢复。此前，该撞击导致他在为球队出战的首场比赛第一节便被迫离场。

据教练凯文·奥康奈尔（Kevin O'Connell）称，默里周一抵达维京人总部时“感觉相当不错”，但现在评估他周日在芝加哥对阵熊队的出战机会还为时过早。

“我们将听从医疗人员的意见，并根据该协议来决定本周的进展，”奥康奈尔说。“我们只能一天一天地观察。”

默里在维京人队的首秀仅持续了 11 个回合。在一次远未达到首攻线（sticks）的第三档跑球结束时，就在四分卫已经俯身向草地潜行试图避免接触之际，他的头盔右侧被包装工队安全卫贾冯·布拉德（Javon Bullard）低肩猛烈撞击。布拉德因不必要的粗暴行为被判罚。

默里最终在自己的力量支撑下缓慢走下场，但卡森·温茨（Carson Wentz）接管了下午剩余的比赛，并帮助维京人队通过拿下比赛最后 29 分实现了逆转获胜。

在默里效力于红雀队的最后四个赛季中，有三个赛季因严重的下肢伤势而提前结束，包括 2022 年底的膝盖前十字韧带（ACL）撕裂和 2025 年的足中段扭伤。

至于维京人队本周愿意等待默里多久退出脑震荡协议，以决定他能否首发或由温茨首发，目前尚不明确。由于四分卫已经穿着红色的非接触球衣，默里在完全获得医疗许可之前，有可能获得大量的练习机会。

默里周一参加了球队会议以及对阵包装工队比赛的视频回顾。

“我们只需看看他的情况，一天一天地观察，”奥康奈尔说。

大学体育：佛罗里达州立大学校长理查德·麦卡洛（Richard McCullough）博士宣布，该校解雇了体育总监迈克尔·阿尔福德（Michael Alford）。阿尔福德在 2020 年秋季被聘为 Seminole Boosters, Inc. 的总裁后，自 2022 年 1 月起担任佛罗里达州立大学的体育总监。麦卡洛表示，此次解雇并非因过错而导致。目前尚不清楚佛罗里达州立大学在 2024 年 8 月宣布的四年合同中还欠阿尔福德多少费用。麦卡洛在周一晚些时候表示，解雇阿尔福德的决定是为了在“变化极其迅速”的大学体育格局中保持竞争力。麦卡洛任命现任高级副体育总监布鲁斯·沃里克（Bruce Warwick）担任临时体育总监。

“现在就是现在”：德约科维奇跌出前十

乔治·W·布什当时是总统。欧元刚刚投入流通。汤姆·布雷迪刚刚获得他七次超级碗冠军中的第一个。而罗纳尔多刚刚带领巴西队夺得世界杯冠军。已经快四分之一个世纪了，没有一名“三巨头”成员——罗杰·费德勒、拉斐尔·纳达尔和诺瓦克·德约科维奇——出现在男子网球排名前十名中。随着 39 岁的德约科维奇（三人组中最后一名仍在参赛的成员）在周一发布的最新排名中从第 5 位跌至第 12 位，这是自 2002 年 10 月以来，他、费德勒和纳达尔三人均未出现在名单前 10 位的情况。费德勒和纳达尔分别于 2022 年和 2024 年退役。费德勒退役时 41 岁，纳达尔 38 岁。德约科维奇在 15 天前的美国公开赛第一轮中被马里亚诺·纳沃内（Mariano Navone）击败。这是德约科维奇二十年来在大大满贯赛事中最早的一次出局——可追溯至 2006 年的澳大利亚公开赛。“我对过去所有的成就感到非常自豪，但现在就是现在，”德约科维奇在纽约失利后表示。德约科维奇的 24 个大满贯冠军比纳达尔的 22 个多两个，比费德勒的 20 个多四个。

快船队退让，将不再对抗处罚

快船队老板史蒂夫·鲍尔默将不再对抗 NBA 对其规避工资帽处罚的决定，这与球队最初的挑衅态度以及誓要对抗其所谓的“极具偏见的调查”截然相反。在本月 NBA 宣布对快船队实施全面处罚后，鲍尔默在周日晚间发布的一份在线声明中首次公开表示，球队将遵守联盟下达的处罚。联盟对鲍尔默处以 1 年禁赛，对球队罚款 3000万美元，并强制其放弃五个首轮选秀权。上图的鲍尔默表示，球队已缴纳罚款。鲍尔默向快船队的球迷、员工以及其他球队老板就此次调查造成的“干扰与困扰”表示道歉；该调查发现球队在涉及科怀·伦纳德的事宜上违反了工资帽规避规则。在由一家外部律师事务所主导的近一年调查后，联盟对该组织采取了严厉措施。快船队此前多次表示自己没有做错任何事，并期待被证明清白。伦纳德被交易至猛龙队的交易此前因等待调查结果而暂停，现已于周一最终敲定。

红袜队的托尔投出完美局

红袜队左投手佩顿·托尔在周日对阵皇家队的比赛开局投出了一个完美局。这位 23 岁的左投手在九球的这一局中，先是以一次好球三振击败了尼克·洛夫廷，随后让鲍比·威特二世和杰克·卡利亚诺在挥棒中出局。托尔成为自名人堂成员佩德罗·马丁内斯 May 18, 2002 在芬威球场对阵水手队的比赛开局以来，首位投出完美局的红袜队投手。在红袜队 4-1 击败皇家队并在波士顿赢得系列赛后，托尔表示：“这真的很酷。”卡利亚诺是唯一一名击中球的球员，他的第一球被击出左侧界外。当托尔对卡利亚诺投出两好球时，大多数球迷起立大声欢呼。在投出最后一球前，托尔带着一丝微笑看向休息区，随后在三振完成且该局结束时挥拳庆祝。他说：“我当时绝对在思考这件事。”这是红袜队的第八个完美局，也是该队在第一局投出的 2 个，且是 MLB 记录历史上第六个在比赛开局投出的完美局。名人堂成员桑迪·库法克斯在 June 30, 1962. 投出了首个有记录的完美局。托尔共投了六局无失分，有七次三振，并允许对方击出四支安打。——美联社

亚历山大·兹维列夫在周日赢得美国公开赛后庆祝，这增加了他在 6 月获得法网冠军后的荣誉。世界 No. 1 詹尼克·辛纳缺席了此前的大满贯赛事，而 No. 2 卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯则缺席了罗兰·加洛斯。PATRICK SMITH / GETTY

最佳测试不完整

兹维列夫在四大满贯赛中的年度表现显然最顶尖，但若两人健康，辛纳和阿尔卡拉斯依然占据统治地位

作者：Brian Mahoney

美联社

纽约——亚历山大·兹维列夫今年赢得了两座大满贯冠军，并进入了另一场决赛。在规模最大的赛事中，他是最出色的球员。

不过，他还没准备好称自己为网球界最强的球员。

在周日的美国公开赛决赛中，兹维列夫以 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 击败本·谢尔顿，将这座奖杯与他在 6 月赢得的法网冠军一同收入囊中。赛后，谢尔顿似乎愿意至少考虑将兹维列夫视为最强球员。

“你是世界上最顶尖的球员之一，也许是今年的世界第一，”谢尔顿在颁奖仪式上对兹维列夫说道。

当然，今年与去年不同。

“两大巨头”受伤

卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯赢得了澳网冠军，但随后因右腕受伤不得不缺席法网和温网；他在 4 月受伤，直到美国公开赛才再次参赛。扬尼克·辛纳在温网决赛中击败了兹维列夫，但随后这位男子网球排名第一的球员因膝盖受伤无法在纽约参赛。

在 2025 年的最后三场大满贯决赛中，辛纳和阿尔卡拉斯相遇。

当被问及是否认为自己是男子网球最强球员时，兹维列夫考虑到了这一切。

“考虑到扬尼克·辛纳受伤，以及卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯在受伤四个月后回归，现在，此时此刻，大概是的。但如果他们两个都健康，且都处于巅峰状态，也许就不是了，”兹维列夫说。

“但如果我们说现在，在扬尼克受伤、卡洛斯伤愈回归的情况下，也许是。我的意思是，四五个月前他们两个都健康时，我不健康。我那时一直输给扬尼克。所以如果每个人都健康，我认为扬尼克仍然领先。就这么简单。”

兹维列夫在重大赛事中完成了他的任务，击败了参赛的球员。

他在四大最高级别赛事中取得了 25-2 的战绩，并且是唯一一名在所有四项赛事中都进入半决赛的男子球员。在美国公开赛的前两轮中，他被迫在每场比赛中都打满五盘，他是自 1968 年开启的公开赛时代以来，首位在前两轮均打满五盘的 1 号种子男子球员，此后直到决赛前他都没有再丢掉过一盘。

发球时速可超过 140 英里的谢尔顿表示，兹维列夫拥有巡回赛中最强的发球。

“我认为你得把这一点与他在发球之外作为网球运动员的优秀程度结合起来，你知道他是多么全面，他在网前表现得越来越好，”谢尔顿说。“对于一个 6-7（英尺）的人来说，他的移动能力是顶级的。他身材很高，所以接发球非常好。底线表现稳健，而且也是巡回赛中体能最好的球员之一。是的，他是一个很难对付的对手，$100\%$。”

勤奋地获得回报

谢尔顿还表示，兹维列夫比他认识的任何人都更加勤奋，而这位 29 岁的德国人似乎比接受“最强球员”的评价更愿意认同这一评估。

“我认为我确实处于顶尖水平，因为我之前说过，我不认为自己在任何方面是最有天赋的。我不认为自己像某些球员那样拥有上帝赋予的天赋，”兹维列夫说。“我认为我的网球大部分是通过努力工作，通过在球场上花费的大量时间，以及在健身房和跑道上花费的大量时间而实现的。这就是我的打球方式。”

勤奋帮助他在 2022 年法网半决赛中遭受严重的脚踝伤势后重新向顶峰攀升，并最终赢得了他认为自己在两年前就应该获得的美国公开赛奖杯。

兹维列夫在对阵多米尼克·蒂姆的比赛中赢下了前两盘，并在距离胜利仅差两分时，成为了 1949 年以来首位在决赛中浪费两盘领先优势并输球的男子球员。在最终突破巴黎（法网）之后，那次失利变得更容易接受，而在周日再添一座奖杯并获得 $5500万 冠军奖金后，更是如此。

“我认为 2020 年决赛留下的伤疤，在我赢得巴黎冠军后基本消失了，”兹维列夫说道。“我在温布尔登说过，尽管我输掉了决赛，但我很享受那场比赛，享受身处大满贯决赛的感觉，享受在中央球场比赛，享受在如此惊人的观众以及一些名流面前比赛。我很享受那个过程。”

“而在赢得巴黎冠军之前，我一直感到压力很大，因为心中始终有一个问号：我是否能赢得一座冠军？而我现在认为，打这类决赛更多的是一种快乐。”

狂热的观众仍不足以扭转局面

谢尔顿此前已经告诉球迷们，他真的需要他们的支持。

“周日我需要你们带来能量，”这位美国人在周五晚上于美国公开赛半决赛击败同胞弗朗西斯·蒂亚福，锁定首个大满贯决赛席位时，对亚瑟·阿什体育场欢呼的观众们说道。“我们要在这里全力以赴。”

显然，谢尔顿在周日得到了观众的支持。正如兹维列夫自己准确估计的那样，“99.9%”的观众似乎都在支持谢尔顿。这位自信且极具吸引力的 23 岁小将正试图成为自 2003 年安迪·罗迪克赢得美国公开赛以来，首位赢得大满贯冠军的美国人——也是自 1968 年阿什以来，首位赢得该项赛事的黑人球员。

但面对如此沉重的历史使命——或许正因为如此——这还不够。

这并不是说观众没有尽到他们的职责。

他们不断为 8 号种子谢尔顿欢呼——从他踏入球场的那一刻起，以及每当他展现出间歇性的天才闪光时。他们高喊着“加油，本！”有时则是“美国！美国！”特别是在谢尔顿获胜的第三盘，人群发出雷鸣般的欢呼，期待着局势发生反转。

但反转并未出现。

在颁奖仪式上，情绪低落的谢尔顿恢复了笑容并用魅力感染观众，他依次感谢了上帝、家人和团队，以及他的司机和“每天让我微笑的安保人员”。

他将最后的感谢留给了纽约的球迷，尤其是那些“坚持到凌晨 4 点”的人。这是在指他那场史诗般的四分之一决赛，在与 2 号种子卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯的一场五盘惊险大战中获胜，这场比赛将被人们讨论多年——部分原因在于它在凌晨 3:33 结束，创下了美国公开赛史上最晚的完赛时间。

周日晚些时候在接受媒体采访时，谢尔顿情绪低落，但显然专注于未来。

“我有动力，”他说。“对今天的结果感到失望（但）对我这两周在整个比赛期间的奋斗感到高兴。我对感觉到的进步感到兴奋，但没错，这次失败确实让人 $100 感到心痛。”

“接下来是下一场。努力继续进步，在澳大利亚展现出比在这里更强的一面。”

拉森在终于结束低迷后，在季后赛追分赛中跃升至第二

作者：Jeff Latzke / 美联社

伊利诺伊州麦迪逊 —— 尽管他的无冠荒持续了一年多，且亨德里克赛车队的雪佛兰赛车落后于竞争对手的丰田赛车，但凯尔·拉森从未对自己的能力失去信心，也从未对自己的团队失去信任。

在NASCAR追分赛（Chase）中取得一场及时胜利后，拉森目前仅落后季后赛领先者丹尼·汉姆林9分，距离连续第二个杯赛冠军已在触手可及之势。

拉森在追分赛排名中从第七位跃升至

拉森凭借周日在圣路易斯市外的Enjoy Illinois 300分站赛的胜利，从追分赛排名第七跃升至第二，打破了连续51场比赛未能获胜的记录。对于34岁的拉森来说，这是他2021年加入强大的亨德里克车队以来最长的一次低谷期。

“我可以理解在纸面上，或者在媒体眼中，甚至在某些竞争对手眼中，人们可能会怀疑我们，我认为这很合理，”拉森在谈到在这一季挣扎期间可能被视为弱者时，对此表现得不以为意。“你知道，我们连续51场比赛没赢，而且是的，我们在整个赛季的表现一直处于中游，在追分赛的起步位置也不如我们预期的那么高。”

两届NASCAR杯赛冠军凯尔·拉森（上图）赢得了周日的季后赛，将与领先者丹尼·汉姆林的分差缩小至9分。AMY KONTRAS / GETTY

“所以我能理解这一点，但我并不真的那样看待自己，我也并不觉得‘噢，我要证明他们错了’。”

拉森在季后赛揭幕战——达灵顿南方500赛中表现出竞争力，这给了他信心；在那场比赛中，他领跑了全场最高的99圈，最终获得第五名。他和车组长克利夫·丹尼尔斯认为乔伊·洛加诺在周日的盖特韦赛道拥有更好的赛车，但拉森在常规赛末段的一次重启中通过超越洛加诺夺得胜利，并在加时赛中将其挡在身后。

尽管这只是他本赛季的首场胜利（而汉姆林已有四场胜利），但拉森在进入周六晚上布里斯托尔赛道（Bristol Motor Speedway）的比赛前处于极佳位置，他在该赛道表现尤为强劲。

在今年的春季赛中，拉森领跑了284圈，最终获得第三名，即便如此，这比起他近期在布里斯托尔的统治力已经有所下滑。在2024年一场辉煌的夜赛中，他在500圈中领跑了462圈；随后在2025年的春季胜利中，他领跑了411圈。

“我们只是在尽力而为，尝试尽可能多地得分，”拉森说。“我的意思是，我现在更希望是领先9分而不是落后9分。但你知道，我们的追分赛开局不错。”

这与赛季初的情况完全相反。丹尼尔斯承认，亨德里克车队低估了他们与丰田赛车之间的差距（丰田在前六场比赛中赢得了五场），随后在早期的比赛（包括达灵顿和菲尼克斯）中，因为在赛车调校上试图尝试过多而陷入混乱。

“我们通过这些错误学到，我们不能每周在所有方面都过度追求，”丹尼尔斯说。“比如，不能每周都对所有事情产生质疑。必须有一些东西作为你的坚实基础。”

四届杯赛冠军、现任亨德里克副主席杰夫·戈登将拉森及其团队能够坚持努力、不被错误或未奏效的战略决策所挫败归功于他们的韧性。

“最让你沮丧的事情，尤其是当你曾经获得成功之后，就是没有快速的赛车，没有能够跑在最前列的赛车，”戈登结合自己的职业生涯说道。“我认为如果有什么是给这些小伙子带来最大挑战的，那就是这一点。”

拉森是一位曾在过去几年尝试参加印第安纳波利斯500赛的超级巨星，他说尽管自2025年5月在堪萨斯站之后未能赢得一场比赛，但他的信心从未动摇。此外，尽管在去年的季后赛中没有赢得任何一场比赛，拉森依然保持了足够的强势，最终赢得了2025年的冠军。

“今年的乐趣比很多年份都要多，而且在此之前我们一直没赢，所以我并不介意这种挣扎，”拉森说道，并指出这段没有获胜的时期在他看来并没有那么长。“我不害怕这种情况。”

随着成绩开始显现，拉森被问及他是否已经“回归”。他迅速否认了将现状与 2021 年（他赢得冠军）或 2023 年（他四次获胜并在季后赛获得亚军）进行对比。

“但我们确实一直在努力重返胜利之门，”拉森说。

“我不知道我们是否已经达到了能像过去那样统治比赛的程度，但你知道，像（周日）这样的日子绝对能让你在进入一个我们已知能统治的赛道前充满信心。”

汉姆林在周日的比赛中获得第九名。

“我认为我们非常幸运，”45 岁的汉姆林说。“我们上周表现强劲，这周虽然不强，但我们依然保持了领先。”

前一周的获胜者克里斯托弗·贝尔落后汉姆林 18 分，并落后排名第三的拉森 9 分。贝尔是布里斯托季后赛的卫冕冠军。

泰·吉布斯在布里斯托春季赛的加时赛中获胜，以 0.055 秒的微弱优势击败了 2023 年杯赛冠军瑞安·布莱尼。布莱尼在比赛中领跑了 190 圈，为全场最高。

Justices reject mail-in ballots request

Trump's effort ahead of midterm elections fails at Supreme Court

By Lindsay Whitehurst ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump's bid to restrict mail ballots for the midterm elections, capping a flurry of last-minute legal action with voting already underway.

The decision allows states to continue sending out mail ballots under the same processes they have used for years. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas publicly dissented from the brief order.

The Trump administration had asked the court — once again at the center of a roiling political controversy — to clear the way for restrictions before the pivotal November contests for control of Congress. The case has major implications because nearly one-third of the country votes by mail.

The Supreme Court majority did not detail its reasoning, as is typical on the high court's emergency docket. Alito, meanwhile, said in the dissent that the Postal Service "has broad authority to regulate the mail" and likely does have the power to enforce Trump's restrictions.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed the restrictions should not go into effect for the midterms but indicated he might rule in favor of the Trump administration if the issue comes back before the court.

Election officials have said there was simply no way to carry out a complete overhaul in the weeks before the midterms. Alabama, North Carolina and Wisconsin began sending mail ballots to voters over the past week while the new system was still not active.

The Trump administration plan would require states to adopt a uniform envelope style and submit lists of eligible voters to an online portal. The Postal Service could refuse to deliver ballots to states that didn't comply.

A whistleblower report, though, said the postal system's requirements could lead to millions of mail ballots never being sent, because the portal wasn't properly built and a single bar code error could result in an entire batch of ballots being tossed out.

Democratic state officials and voting rights groups challenged the restrictions in court, arguing that the president has no constitutional authority to set election rules that would “virtually eliminate mail

City panel backs more funds to settle suits

The \$13.75 million sum is tied to ex-cop's alleged misconduct

By Jake Sheridan CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Even though Cook County's top prosecutor maintained that two men are guilty of a horrific double-murder despite certificates of innocence, Chicago taxpayers could soon pay them \$13.75 million to settle their police misconduct lawsuits after aldermen advanced a pair of deals Monday.

The City Council Finance Committee recommended Gabriel Solache and Arturo DeLeon-Reyes get the deals to resolve their lawsuits alleging ex-Det. Reynaldo Guevara landed them in prison with false confessions extracted with deceit and beatings.

The two men were convicted in 2000 of a brutal double murder and kidnapping, but have since received certificates of innocence, alongside dozens of other Chicagoans investigated by the disgraced Guevara.

Separate juries convicted the men of fatally stabbing Mariano Soto, 43, and his wife, Jacinta, 35, and kidnapping their two children in a plot prosecutors originally said was motivated by a woman's desire for a baby.

The woman, Adriana Mejia, who allegedly planned the attack in order to steal the couple's 2-month-old daughter, is serving a life sentence in state prison.

Mejia, who was said to be related to DeLeon-Reyes and a friend of Solache's, was alleged to have been faking a pregnancy. Mejia initially told police she was there when DeLeon-Reyes stabbed the victims, but denied Solache was involved, Law Department attorney Jessica Felker told aldermen during the meeting. DeLeon-Reyes then implicated Solache, she added.

But the two men's confessions came amid circumstances that

Work resumes on project to keep invasive carp out

After construction pause, Army Corps restarts Brandon Road initiative

By Adriana Pérez CHICAGO TRIBUNE

More than a month after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers halted work on the Brandon Road Lock and Dam near Joliet, part of a \$1.15 billion project to keep invasive carp out of the Great Lakes, the agency announced last week it would resume construction.

The Army Corps' Rock Island District — the main federal sponsor — issued a stop-work order on

July 24 “without explanation or warning,” advocates say, except to say the project was “under administrative review.” Just three weeks later, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources said several hundred small silver carp had been discovered only 80 miles from Lake Michigan in the Illinois River, further upstream than routine monitoring had found the invasive fish since 2010.

The location indicates spawning activity may have occurred even closer to the lake, which advocates with the Alliance for the Great Lakes call a “troubling sign of an establishing population” and “shows a higher risk of invasion” than the mere presence of adult fish.

President Donald Trump had previously directed federal agencies to carry the project on the Des Plaines River forward with “maximum speed and efficiency.”

The Army Corps did not respond to a request for comment

about the pause.

The Brandon Road Interbasin Project, which began construction in 2025, is the culmination of decades-long bipartisan efforts between Illinois, Michigan and the federal government to stop the invasive fish, which pose a significant threat to the native species and aquatic ecosystems of the Great Lakes, as well as its billion-dollar fishing and boating

Trump backs Bailey for Illinois governor

GOP candidate has sought to distance himself from president

By Rick Pearson CHICAGO TRIBUNE

President Donald Trump has endorsed Darren Bailey for governor, a move that undercuts the Republican nominee's attempts to distance himself from a president unpopular in Illinois and whose backing contributed to Bailey's loss to Democrat JB Pritzker in 2022.

"I've already endorsed him. I'm all for Bailey," Trump told reporters as he prepared to depart Ireland on Sunday after a two-day trip that mixed diplomatic meet-

Lil Durk acquitted in one case

Rapper still faces RICO charges stemming from Chicago slaying

By Jason Meisner and Sam Charles CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Two days after his stunning acquittal on murder-for-hire charges in Los Angeles, Chicago-born rapper Lil Durk posted a photo of his high-powered trial team on social media along with a caption talking about freedom.

“Against all odds, we’re stronger together,” he wrote in an Instagram post Sunday that has more than 2.5 million likes. “... I feel all the love and positive energy. Now let me be free to help save our kids and bring unity back to our communities. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.”

But the Grammy Award-winning South Side rapper, whose real name is Durk Banks, isn't going anywhere just yet.

Though he was found not guilty Friday of charges tied to the Los Angeles murder of a rival's cousin, Banks was still in a federal jail cell on Monday, still facing a racketeering indictment alleging he orchestrated the 2022 killing of Stephon Mack, 24, outside a Chicago youth center.

Trial on the two remaining counts is currently set for Oct. 5 in Los Angeles. Banks' attorneys, meanwhile, could file a motion seeking his release from jail while the case is pending, given the recent acquittal.

The counts are far more serious than the murder-for-fire and stalking charges Banks beat last week. Known technically as VICAR, or “violent crimes in aid of racketeering activity,” they can carry mandatory life in prison if certain elements are proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Those VICAR counts remain pending because the federal judge overseeing the case in Los Angeles severed that part of the indictment shortly before trial began, saying that bringing in complicated evidence of a Chicago murder risked confusing the jury and prejudicing Banks.

In a hearing on the matter in July, U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald accused the government of trying to expand the indictment at the eleventh hour to make the case more difficult to defend. Though he called it a “clever” move, the judge said it was a matter of “having the Chicago tail wag the Los Angeles dog.”

"It's not as if the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois had become highly suspicious of Mr. Banks and his music business, and therefore, had been investigating this for years," Fitzgerald said, according to a transcript in court records. "Rather, this very much is the result of what happened in Los Angeles."

Banks, 33, was originally charged in October 2024 with five others in a plot to kill rapper Quando Rondo – born Tyquian Terrel Bowman – in retaliation for the November 2020 shooting death of King Von. Banks was accused of bankrolling the effort to kill Bowman.

Bowman, his sister and his cousin Saviay'a Robinson, 24, were riding in Bowman's black Cadillac Escalade near a gas station in West Hollywood in August 2022 when gunmen opened fire, according to the federal charges. Bowman and his sister were not injured, but Robinson was struck multiple times and killed.

After a three-week trial at the federal courthouse in Los Angeles, Banks was acquitted of all charges. Two of his associates, Deandre Wilson and David Lindsey, were convicted of stalking charges, but found not guilty of murder-for-hire.

The trial, meanwhile, developed into a daily, star-studded spectacle that was viral on social media. Durk supporters including music stars Machine Gun Kelly and Ye – the Chicago artist formerly known as Kanye West – appeared in the audience, and large groups of fans, livestreamers and other content creators gathered outside the courthouse.

After the verdict, Banks' attorney, Drew Findling, said he was “elated” by the outcome.

"When you have the opportunity to say to the United States of America, 'You were wrong for indicting this young man,' that's an incredible power and responsibility," he said.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement: “While we are disappointed with the jury’s decision regarding Durk Banks, a.k.a. ‘Lil Durk,’ we look forward to presenting our evidence at his second trial.”

The superseding indictment filed by prosecutors earlier this year added allegations that Banks was behind the Jan. 27, 2022, killing of Mack, who was shot to death shortly after he exited the Youth Peace Center of Roseland on West 111th Street. At the time of his death, according to the FBI, Mack was the leader of the Smashville faction of the Gangster Disciples.

According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed in Chicago, Mack's slaying was retaliation for the killing of Banks' brother, Dontay Banks, who was shot to death outside a nightclub in south suburban Harvey in 2021. Another Gangster Disciples faction with ties to Smashville carried out that murder, the affidavit alleged.

“Lil Durk was and still is offering money for people to kill those responsible for his brother’s murder, and more specifically, offering to pay money for any Gangster Disciple that is killed,” a federal agent wrote in April 2023.

That year, federal prosecutors in Chicago charged two men, Anthony Montgomery-Wilson and Preston Powell, with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire in Mack's killing.

In probing Mack's death, federal investigators analyzed jail phone calls, social media postings and firearms purchases, as well as lyrics from Lil Durk's song "Ahhh Ha," released about a month after the shooting.

The warrant application goes on to say Montgomery-Wilson and Powell “may have exchanged text messages concerning payment for Mack’s murder.”

Montgomery-Wilson was arrested on an unrelated charge a few weeks after Mack's death. A detective with the New Lenox Police Department then applied for and was granted a warrant to search the contents of his cellphone.

Investigators then allegedly discovered a two-person text message conversation that mentioned "OTF" — the rap consortium founded by Lil Durk that prosecutors later linked to the alleged murder-for-hire plot in Los Angeles.

On Feb. 10, 2022, one of the people in the text conversation asked, "Wassup with otf," to which the other person responded, "Nothing."

Eight days later, in the same conversation, another text message read, "Did durk gave (sic) u that money."

Both Powell and Montgomery-Wilson pleaded guilty to the charges in U.S. District Court in Chicago earlier this year, but neither plea agreement contains any language about cooperation against Banks. Montgomery-Wilson's plea calls for a sentence of between 35 and 45 years in prison, while Powell's calls for a term of 30 to 35 years.

In the lead-up to the trial in Los Angeles, Banks' attorneys blasted the prosecution's focus on Lil Durk's music and noted his yearslong record of philanthropy in Chicago.

"When you see an artist's rap lyrics quoted as ‘evidence’ against them, it is a glaring indication that there is no real evidence against that person," Banks' attorneys said in a statement to the Tribune in 2024.

The trial in Los Angeles did feature some of Banks' music, including video of the song "Pissed Me Off."

“Grab a gun / If you ain’t with it, put up money for a gun / Put up money for a hot car / put up money for a bond,” Banks raps on the video, while wearing a T-shirt that reads “Long Live Von.”

Banks has been in custody since Oct. 24, 2024, when federal agents executed a series of search warrants in Chicago and arrested five of his associates. At the time, Banks was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he subsequently booked international travel on separate flights to Dubai and Switzerland – but he didn't get on either plane, according to federal prosecutors.

Instead, the FBI learned that Banks had been booked on a private jet to Italy that was scheduled to depart that night. Law enforcement arrested Banks about an hour before the flight as he drove into the airport, according to prosecutors.

Police reports offer new details in Humboldt Park mass shooting

A scrap of police tape is tied to a fence in the 700 block of North Christiana Avenue on Monday, one day after a shooting that left six wounded and one dead in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood. ARTHUR MAIORELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

By Caroline Kubzansky CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Just after noon on Sunday, Harrison (11th) District police on patrol called out the sound of gunfire over the radio. Moments later, reports that multiple people had been shot started to roll in.

The two-car, multishooter attack in Humboldt Park left six people wounded, Chicago police said. A seventh victim, an 18-year-old man, was shot a dozen times and killed. His identity wasn't publicly available as of Monday.

As police arrived at the 700 block of North Christiana Avenue, they found a dark blue Acura and a man with multiple gunshot wounds in the middle of the street, according to police reports obtained by the Tribune. Bystanders pointed officers toward a nearby alley, where they found a second man with multiple gunshot wounds.

Two other victims, a man and a woman, both took shelter inside a Chicago Police Department squad car, an initial police report stated. The woman had been in her car when she was shot twice in the hip and hit a CTA bus shortly afterward, according to that report.

A different early report said the woman also hit one of the shooters, who got into a black Honda Accord that appeared on police surveillance footage carrying some of the assailants.

The footage shows that the Acura found in the middle of the street was also carrying shooters. Together with the Honda, the shooters had driven westward on Chicago Avenue and turned south onto Christiana, where they got out, opened fire on the crowd and fled. The initial report stated that the shooters all got into the Honda and abandoned the disabled Acura at the scene.

Police recovered 70 rifle and handgun shell casings at the scene, per one report, and discovered that the Acura had been reported stolen out of Cicero.

The youngest person wounded in the shooting was a 14-year-old boy, who suffered gunshot wounds to both legs. He was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition, police said. The driver of the CTA bus was also taken to the hospital for observation.

No one was in custody Monday afternoon for the shooting as Harrison detectives continued investigating.

Northwest Side attorney Quinlan enters mayor race

By A.D. Quig CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Attorney William J. Quinlan, who has worked behind the scenes with some of the state's highest profile politicians, is entering the crowded Chicago mayoral election fray.

With his Tuesday campaign launch, Quinlan argued he holds a unique understanding of government's inner workings, but hasn't been sullied by a career filled with electoral ladder climbing like many political insiders.

“Somebody needs to not just be worried about coming up with a two-year fix so that they can get themselves re-elected,” said Quinlan, a Democrat. “I understand how government works, but I’m not part of the system and I don’t owe anyone (anything).”

"As you look across the field — and we evaluated before we decided to get in — you can see nothing but people that either owe people, are part of the system, and are looking to basically have a title," he continued. "That's why you see people running for multiple offices."

Quinlan currently runs a private eponymous law firm, but held various roles for some of Illinois' best-known politicians over the decades. He was the state's general counsel under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich from 2005 until resigning in 2008, shortly after the governor's arrest on federal corruption charges. Back then, Quinlan said the experience killed his "desire to work in public service."

Now, “the only job I want is this,” Quinlan said of the fifth floor. A native of Sauganash on Chicago’s Far Northwest Side, he said, “I’ve lived here my whole life. I’ve built a business here. I've raised my children here. I want to do what I could do to get it back on track."

Still, he acknowledged it will be difficult to stand out in the jampacked mayoral field.

Several other non-politicians are also running as outsiders in a more moderate lane than Mayor Brandon Johnson, while elected officials like Congressman Mike Quigley, state Comptroller Susana Mendoza and Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias are in the race, as well.

Chicago's ailing finances are among Quinlan's top concerns. He argued budget issues have piled up over the last 40 years thanks to short-term thinking by politicians eager to get through the next election. The city needs to return to pre-pandemic spending levels, consolidate functions with other units of local governments and focus on creative, long-term revenue solutions, he told the Tribune. "I'm for the millionaire's tax, but we've tried it and it hasn't passed," he said.

Quinlan comes from a family long tied in with local government. His late father, William R. Quinlan, was the corporation counsel for mayors Richard J. Daley through Jane Byrne, a Cook County circuit and state appellate judge and parliamentarian for the Cook County Board. His uncle is Richard Phelan, former Cook County Board president.

He worked for former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan during his undergrad at the University of Illinois, and during law school at Georgetown, Quinlan worked for three years for U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski of Chicago, who then chaired the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.

Quinlan's most recent high-profile role was representing former Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez in his battle against Johnson to keep his job. Other Chicagoans might remember his defense of "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett in the civil suit concerning the amount of police overtime logged investigating what his sentencing judge described as a hoax hate crime.

He's gathered a campaign team that includes David Eichenbaum, a Bill Clinton 1996 campaign alum who advised Kentucky's Andy Beshear on his gubernatorial run. Quinlan's kitchen cabinet features veteran strategist Bill Knapp, who worked the presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as well as Mike Bloomberg's three New York City mayoral races.

Fellow Bloomberg alum Bradley Tusk — who was deputy governor under Blagojevich — and Sheila Nix, former first lady Jill Biden's chief of staff who went on to work as a senior advisor and campaign chief of staff to Vice President Kamala Harris, are helping. Christian Wallace Shriver, a former creative producer for YouTube star

Mr. Beast, is also assisting.

Quinlan has been quietly building toward a mayoral run since last fall, hosting events with his 501(c)(4) nonprofit civic organization, Leading a Better Chicago.

As a lawyer, he has represented Cook County in ongoing litigation and compliance with the Shakman Decree, which was put in place following a lawsuit brought to eliminate political considerations from government hiring.

According to a resume provided by the campaign, he was involved with cases that challenged “the constitutionality of various state statutes under the Illinois Constitution, such as statutes related to the Illinois Regional Transportation Authority Act and redistricting of congressional and judicial districts.”

Quinlan serves as board chair for Lawrence Hall, a social services nonprofit for at-risk youth, and was a member of the Cook County Health Foundation board, where he went public with conflict-of-interest concerns involving board leadership. The attorney general opened and closed an investigation there without finding any violations.

Judge temporarily blocks aid-in-dying law for Illinois Catholic health providers

By Jeremy Gorner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of Illinois' new medical aid-in-dying law against Catholic healthcare providers, siding with a lawsuit from Cardinal Blase Cupich a day after a different judge refused to block the law entirely in a separate case.

The Friday ruling from U.S. District Judge Franklin U. Valderrama temporarily restrains state officials from enforcing the End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act — which went into effect on Saturday — against certain healthcare professionals.

The order bars the state's Public Health Department and Department of Financial and Professional Regulation from taking action against plaintiffs, including clergy and some pharmacy workers, "and those providing care on their premises, and Catholic health care entities" under Cupich's authority, according to court records. The ruling doesn't extend to healthcare providers outside that group, and the law remains in effect for all other Illinoisans.

Cupich's lawsuit, which alleges violations of the First Amendment, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Affordable Care Act and other legal provisions, will continue through the courts.

In a statement, Cupich welcomed the ruling, saying it would – for now – protect healthcare providers “against their conscience” from being compelled to inform patients of “their ‘right’ to kill themselves,” and also prevent the providers from helping them qualify for lethal drugs, or pass them along to someone willing to help them obtain those drugs, as part of what he called facilitating “suicide.”

"These obligations violate core constitutional protections of freedom of speech and religion. The law with these provisions must be struck down permanently," Cupich said. "To be clear, the Church's objection to this statute is not an attempt to impose Catholic teaching on non-Catholics; it is an effort to stop the State from compelling Catholic health care providers to violate their conscience."

The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, one of the proponents of the new law, stuck to its staunch defense of the measure.

"While we support religious liberty, we strongly believe that the religious views of individual health care workers or institu-"

tions should not be a tool for denying access to health care – including end-of-life options – for those seeking that care,” Khadine Bennett, the group’s advocacy and intergovernmental affairs director, said in a statement.

Other legal challenges have targeted the medical-aid-in-dying law, which Gov. JB Pritzker approved at the end of last year. For instance, Valderrama's ruling came one day after another federal judge in the Northern District of Illinois denied efforts by plaintiffs in a different lawsuit filed in June to block the law from taking effect.

That suit, similar to the legal challenge from Cupich and others, alleges violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Affordable Care Act. The suit, which was filed by disability rights advocates, also alleges equal protection violations under the 14th Amendment. Plaintiffs in that suit now have less than 30 days to show why the rest of the suit shouldn't be dismissed as well.

Illinois joined at least 10 other states and Washington, D.C., in permitting medical aid in dying, a measure Pritzker said would help terminally ill patients “avoid unnecessary pain and suffering at the end of their lives." Opponents call the law immoral because it lets patients choose to end their lives.

Under the law, patients who have been given up to six months to live by a doctor, are Illinois residents and are at least 18 years old “may orally request a prescription for medication” from their attending physician, and it must be documented. The patient must also request the medication in writing to their physician after making the oral request. But the patient must also make a second oral request five days after the initial one.

The written request for the medication must also be witnessed by two people who believe the patient is mentally sound and acting voluntarily, according to the law, which also limits who can act as witnesses.

When the patient makes the second oral request, the attending physician must offer the patient an opportunity to rescind the request and “provide sufficient information to a patient regarding all appropriate end-of-life care options,” including comfort care, hospice care, palliative care and pain control, as well as the foreseeable risks and benefits of each.

Illinois, Chicago sue Trump over immigration rule

By Alice Yin and Olivia Olander CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago and Illinois are filing legal challenges to a Trump administration rule set to take effect Friday that would give the federal government broader power to deny green cards to immigrants who receive welfare benefits — the latest legal clash between the White House and Democratic leaders Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul signed the state onto one of two lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and named Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and its director, Joseph Edlow, as defendants. Illinois joined a coalition of 22 states and the District of Columbia in that lawsuit. Chicago signed onto a separate lawsuit led by New York City, alongside San Francisco; California's Santa Clara County; Seattle; and King County, Washington.

The cities and states argue that the federal rule in question, published in July, gives the Department of Homeland Security overly broad discretion to limit green cards and visas for immigrants who participate in Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other social safety net programs.

President Donald Trump's administration had issued new rules on a long-standing "public charge" provision that says the U.S. can deny entry to people who are likely to become dependent on government assistance. The new rules reverse a policy from President Joe Biden's administration that limited "public charge" considerations to only include cash benefits or long-term care.

“Chicago will not stand by while the federal government forces immigrant families to choose between putting food on the table, taking their children to the doctor, or protecting their ability to remain in this country,” Mayor Johnson said in a statement. “This rule is not only cruel, it is unlawful, and it threatens the health and safety of our entire city. ... Chicago has fought these attacks before, and, alongside New York and cities across the country, we will fight them again.”

In a statement, DHS spokesperson Chandler Rebel defended the rule change and said the states and cities challenging it are “terrified they will lose federal funds” because immigrants “might remove themselves from American welfare programs.”

“We’re shaking in our boots over this supposedly terrible outcome,” Rebel wrote.

The states' lawsuit argues noncitizens and their family members would face an “impossible task” — weighing their participation in benefits programs against the risk of jeopardizing their path to a green card. It also contends the rule would harm states “in predictable ways” as immigrants disenroll from programs such as preventive healthcare, food assistance and school lunches, potentially costing states federal funding tied to enrollment.

The plaintiffs in the state coalition argued they stand to lose \$575 million in federal payments related to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding and billions in payments related to Medicaid and children's health insurance.

The Trump administration's rule is its “latest attempt to target immigrants and their families, this time by punishing them for lawfully using public benefits they are entitled to,” Raoul said in a news release Monday.

The municipal coalition's lawsuit argues Biden's narrower 2022 definition of “public charge” reflected “an understanding that the use of supplemental public benefits can provide support on the journey to a better life and is not a reliable predictor of future dependence,” and that the new DHS rule is too vague.

“John Adams described a republic as ‘an Empire of Laws, and not of Men,’” the lawsuit says, referring to the second U.S. president. “Our nation’s founding is grounded in this core value. With the new public charge ‘rule,’ Defendants eviscerate this principle.”

Monday's dual legal challenges come after the Trump administration's lawsuit over Illinois and Chicago's sanctuary policies for immigrants was dismissed last year and the president's subsequent attempt to mobilize the National Guard in Illinois was blocked.

New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani were leading the pair of legal challenges.

Chicago drill rapper BloodHound Q50 fatally shot Sunday

Musician killed in 6-shooter attack, per police, record label

By Caroline Kubzansky CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago drill rapper Mikquale Cooper, also known as BloodHound Q50, was killed early Sunday morning at a Fuller Park gas station in an evidently coordinated shooting involving two vehicles and at least six people, according to police reports and Cooper's artistic collaborators.

According to a police report obtained by the Tribune, Cooper, 22, had driven to a gas station on the 4200 block of South Wentworth Avenue around 4 a.m. Sunday with a 29-year-old woman when two other cars — a black Infiniti and a silver Honda — pulled up shortly after he arrived.

Per surveillance footage from the gas station, Cooper and the woman both went inside as two masked occupants in the black Infiniti retrieved items from the silver Honda and returned to their car. The woman and Cooper got back into their car, a white Tesla. The pair from the Infiniti and another four people in the Honda got out and started to shoot at the Tesla.

Surveillance footage captured two of the shooters wearing a green hoodie with a football design on the back and a blue hoodie, according to the report. The others were all wearing black with ski masks, the report stated. Both vehicles were captured on the surveillance footage driving southbound on Wentworth.

Cooper was taken to University of Chicago Medicine with gunshot wounds to the chest and shoulder and was pronounced dead within about a half-hour of the attack, police said. The woman with him was not listed as having been injured, and declined to comment when reached by phone Monday morning.

No one was in custody Monday morning for the shooting. Wentworth Area homicide detectives were investigating.

Chicago police and Cook County court records show Cooper was previously shot in September 2023 in the 4000 block of North Central Park Avenue on the city's Northwest Side. Responding officers found the injured Cooper in possession of a Glock handgun outfitted with a switch to make it an automatic weapon. Records show Cooper later pleaded guilty to aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and he was sentenced to a year in prison.

Cooper's music label, AMF Records, shared a Sunday night Instagram post from Signal Records founder Jeffrey Vaughn about Cooper's death.

In that post, Vaughn shared two photos of Cooper and praised his “always improving pen,” intuition around music production and attention to detail with video edits.

“Q50 was unapologetically himself and never afraid to tell his story,” Vaughn wrote. “Those who know know — Q50 was never shy about asking for what he wanted to see out of me and my team. I respected that immensely. I will miss him very much.”

Ex-federal prosecutor to be acting Illinois legislative ethics watchdog

By Jeremy Gorner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A former federal prosecutor will temporarily take over as the Illinois General Assembly's top ethics watchdog, stepping into an office roiled by controversy over how sexual harassment complaints against a former state lawmaker were handled.

David E. Risley has been chosen by the state's Legislative Ethics Commission to begin the job of acting legislative inspector general on Oct. 1, succeeding Michael P. McCuskey, a former state and federal judge, who is slated to retire on Sept. 30 amid questions over his handling of a female lobbyist's sexual harassment allegations against disgraced former state Rep. Harry Benton.

A certified inspector general and former assistant U.S. attorney in the Central District of Illinois, Risley “brings more than 30 years of experience in investigations and prosecutorial work,” state Rep. Jeff Keicher, a Sycamore Republican who chairs the ethics commission, said in a statement Monday. Risley also served in the U.S. Regime Crimes Liaison Office investigating crimes against humanity in Iraq, as ethics officer for the Illinois Department of Transportation, and as legal and ethics adviser in the legislative inspector general’s office, Keicher said.

"The public's trust has understandably been shaken by recent events, which is why the Commission has acted swiftly to fill the position to provide a seamless transition," Keicher said. "Mr. Risley's extensive investigative and prosecutorial experience, as well as his experience with Illinois' ethics laws, make him an excellent candidate to serve as Acting Legislative Inspector General."

McCuskey, 78, is stepping down midway through a five-year term. In a report released July 31, McCuskey determined that Benton, a Democrat from Plainfield, engaged in a “pattern and practice” of sexual harassment against the lobbyist and two other women. Benton resigned from the Illinois House on July 3.

But the lobbyist raised her own concerns about McCuskey's conduct during the investigation, accusing him of mischaracterizing her account. In a letter to Illinois' four top legislative leaders, first reported by the Tribune, she said McCuskey "violated the confidence of other victims and me, broke standard investigative norms, and made inappropriate comments" to her during their interview and in later interactions about her allegations against Benton.

McCuskey's handling of the case has become one more flashpoint in the broader controversy over sexual harassment at the Illinois State Capitol. A Tribune investigation published two weeks before McCuskey's report became public found that House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch’s office learned of a sexual harassment complaint against Benton from one of the three women three years earlier — a young staffer in Benton’s district office who reported him to Welch’s then-chief of staff in April 2023. Welch didn’t take any action against Benton and gave Benton’s reelection campaign \$1.4 million a year later.

Risley previously worked under Carol Pope during her tenure as legislative inspector general, before she announced her resignation in 2021, citing concerns that the office lacked the authority to properly investigate legislators and staff, as well as complaints that new ethics provisions passed by the General Assembly at the time were too weak. In the process that ultimately led to McCuskey's selection in 2022, legislative Democrats had favored Risley — who also once served as director of public safety policy for former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner — to take over the post.

The Legislative Ethics Commission, a bipartisan body composed of four Democratic and four Republican lawmakers, is empowered to appoint an acting legislative inspector general until a permanent replacement is confirmed by the full General Assembly. An acting legislative inspector general has the same authority as someone permanently in the post and, if necessary, could serve until the current term ends on June 30, 2028.

Once Risley starts Oct. 1, each of the four top legislative leaders will have the opportunity to appoint a representative to a search committee that will consider resumes from candidates interested in permanently succeeding McCuskey, Keicher said. Those names would then go to the commission for consideration before being forwarded to the full legislature.

Conservation needs to learn to say 'yes'

A message to our movement

Every hour, we lose more than 40 acres of farmland and ranchland. Every day, open space twice the size of Central Park disappears. Every year, another million acres of forest are lost. And once these lands are gone, they're gone forever.

And now, trillions of dollars for desperately needed infrastructure will create one of the largest periods of building in American history.

Without a clear vision, this new infrastructure will accelerate the loss of wild and working lands that people and wildlife depend on. Land we can't afford to lose.

So, how do we build the infrastructure we need while protecting the natural systems we depend on?

The environmental movement deserves enormous credit for solving many of the challenges of the last century: reducing pollution, protecting iconic landscapes, and forcing industry to account for environmental harm. But we did it by saying “no” — through legislation, regulation, and litigation. "No" is a powerful tool to protect hard-fought conservation wins. But it can't be the only tool in our toolbox.

If we're to address climate change, housing needs, water scarcity, and rural economic development, we need to build. And when we build, we have an opportunity to link new infrastructure with conservation outcomes, securing more for our country than we'd ever achieve by only saying “no.” Built infrastructure and natural infrastructure stop being opponents and instead become partners. This is what it means to find the “yes.”

Wetlands protect against floods, storm surge, and extreme weather. Forests store carbon, filter drinking water, and extend the life of reservoirs. Farms provide fresh, local, and sustainable food. Urban tree canopies keep cities livable through a heat wave. These natural systems are necessities, not amenities. They do the work that built infrastructure cannot.

We can't solve today's biggest challenges by only saying "no."

A prosperous, healthy, and resilient future requires an environmental movement committed to both building what our country urgently needs and protecting what cannot be replaced.

The challenges ahead are too large and too complex for yesterday's playbook. We need a movement as committed to building as it is to blocking.

It's time to find the "yes." For all of us.

LAWSUITS from Page A1

ultimately led to their convictions — life in prison for DeLeon-Reyes and death for Solache — being overturned.

They accused Guevara of crafting statements in English to create false confessions. They said the detective repeatedly struck them in the head and interrogated them for as long as 42 hours.

Altogether, Guevara's actions and reputation from dozens of other similar cases mean the central evidence against them, their written confessions, cannot stand, Felker said.

"There is no physical evidence linking Solache and DeLeon-Reyes to the crime. Blood on Adriana's shoes and trousers did match one of the victims," she said.

Gabriel Solache, at Northwestern Law School in Chicago, Feb. 5, 2018, was exonerated along with Arturo Reyes, not pictured, after serving nearly two decades in prison for a 1998 double murder. LOU FOGLIA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Mejia maintains Solache and DeLeon-Reyes helped her commit the crime, but also says Guevara hit her and pulled her hair, Felker said.

A judge threw out the Solache and DeLeon-Reyes convictions in 2017, accusing Guevara of “bald-faced lies.” Days later, the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx dropped the charges against them. Foxx’s office then dropped its longstanding opposition to certificates of innocence for the men, and DeLeon-Reyes and Solache received the certificates in 2022.

Still, Foxx said in a deposition that she believed the men were guilty, Felker said.

“She also said that she could not do anything because of the findings of Guevara’s inability and incredibility by the courts in this case,” she said.

With the city facing around 40 more Guevara-related cases, aldermen decried the expected massive cost of the settlements and verdicts for taxpayers before approving the two deals in a voice vote. If the settlements are approved by the full City Council in a vote expected next week, Solache will recieve \$6 million and DeLeon-Reyes will receive \$7.75 million.

Some aldermen re-upped calls for a so-called “global settlement” aimed at landing most of the cases at once, a move Johnson’s administration has used before on other policing scandals to shrink legal costs.

The committee also advanced a \$6 million deal for the family of Michael A. Jordan, a 27-year-old fatally struck by a car whose driver was evading police. The lawsuit accused police of violating car chase rules before the fleeing driver crashed into a CTA bus stop and killed the father of three.

Aldermen also advanced a \$225,000 settlement for Lorenzo Williams, who alleged police used excessive force to arrest him after he was spotted on a surveillance camera carrying a gun.

Williams resisted arrest, and an officer struck him in the head three times with a police radio as other police held him down during the struggle, according to city attorneys. Police recovered a fully-loaded firearm from his waistband, and Williams later pled guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to three years and is now on parole.

The Finance Committee advanced the deal in a 18-to-13 vote, a rare close vote for such a settlement.

GOVERNOR

from Page A1

Bailey in that year's GOP primary and Bailey's near 13-percentage-point loss to Pritzker in the general election, called the two-term Democratic governor – who also is one of the president's most vocal critics nationally – "a disaster as a governor."

“You look at what’s happening with crime. And JB Pritzker should lose. For some reason, Democrats win there. I don’t know why,” Trump said of Pritzker, who, in addition to seeking a third term, is also eyeing a potential 2028 presidential bid. “But Bailey is a very good candidate. He had a horrible tragedy. Amazing that he could go forward. A large portion of his family was wiped out.”

In making his second bid for governor, Bailey has sought to sideline Trump as an issue and focus on state issues to build support in the voter-rich suburbs, which have moved increasingly Democratic in part because of the president's unpopularity there.

“Donald Trump has nothing to do with me running for governor,” Bailey told one reporter who asked about the Republican’s active cultivation of the president’s backing, including frequent visits to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, during the 2022 governor race.

On Monday, after Trump's public statements in his support, Bailey continued making similar comments.

"I appreciate President Trump's endorsement of my campaign for governor, but that's not what this race is about," Bailey said in a statement. "It's about the endless ways JB Pritzker has failed Illinois families over the last

eight years."

But as much as Bailey has sought to push Trump into the background of his campaign, the Republican also has made moves to keep the president an election issue, previously saying he wouldn't turn down an endorsement.

Last week, Bailey attended the two-day midterm Republican National Convention, labeled by the president's supporters as "Trumpapalooza," and was seen among those seated in the "President's Box" at American Airlines Center in Dallas in a photograph posted on the social media site X by veteran Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Bost of Murphysboro. Bailey unsuccessfully sought to oust Bost from the congressional seat two years ago. Trump endorsed Bost in that race.

Trump's endorsement of Bailey now comes as Pritzker, the billionaire entrepreneur and an heir to the Hyatt hotels fortune, has been running TV ads displaying Bailey's supportive comments about Trump from the past.

In his previous campaign for governor, Bailey called himself “a conservative fighter and a proud supporter of President Trump,” and said, “I just thank God for President Trump.” He also said the president “is a smart man.

He knows what he does ... and when he does it."

Pritzker campaign spokesperson Leah Hurwitz said Trump's endorsement of Bailey "won't come as a surprise to Illinoisans who know all about Bailey's intense admiration for Trump."

“Despite the damage the president has done to our state, Bailey still supports Trump’s tariffs, cheered on his invasion of federal agents in our streets and vowed to 'roll out the red carpet for him."

Trump is scheduled to make a rare visit to Illinois, a state he lost in all three of his presidential races, at the end of the month for the Presidents Cup golf tournament at the Medinah Country Club in DuPage County. There has been no word on whether Trump will also seek to campaign on Bailey's behalf while in the state.

voting on the eve of a major election."

Lower courts agreed and blocked Trump's plan, including a preliminary injunction issued by a judge nominated by the president.

But the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that federal control of the Postal Service allows them to set rules for mail ballot handling and that compliance was possible.

The federal government won an early procedural decision at the Supreme Court, but the justices pointedly did not decide the legality of the plan. Trump has long opposed mail voting and falsely blamed it for his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden, even though he often uses that method to cast his own ballot, including as recently as this year.

Chinese sex worker testifies in CBP agent case

She tells jury he was offered free services to stop attacking women

By Jason Meisner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A mid-level supervisor for a ring of Chinese prostitutes told a federal jury Monday she was initially fond of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent Luis Uribe when he started paying her for sex and that their relationship was comfortable enough that she asked him for help with immigration issues.

But after Uribe was suspected in a series of attacks on sex workers in her group, the woman, who goes by the Americanized name “Lisa,” agreed to help lure Uribe to a lunch meeting in order to get a photo of him and deliver a message from the bosses in China, according to her testimony.

"The message was asking him not to harm our girls, and we would provide free sex to him once a week," Lisa testified through a Mandarin interpreter.

Lisa's testimony was a key component of the prosecution's case against Uribe, a veteran agent stationed at O'Hare International Airport who allegedly used his badge and his gun to burst into hotel rooms and rob and rape four women connected with the Chinese sex industry in a series of brazen attacks in 2022.

Uribe, 45, is on trial at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse on a federal indictment charging him with 10 counts of deprivation of rights under color of law, and one count of brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors have alleged Uribe “perverted” his duty to serve and protect, going from investigating crimes to committing them.

But Uribe's attorney, Michael Clancy, has said that while Uribe is a weak and "flawed" man who indeed visited prostitutes, the alleged victims were liars who had sought his help with immigration issues before setting him up.

Clancy has said that his client will testify in his own defense, possibly as early as Tuesday.

Before Lisa took the stand, the jury heard from the four alleged victims, all of whom identified Uribe as the “fake police” who assaulted them. But all four women also had trouble at times recalling details of the attacks and seemed befuddled at times when confronted on cross-examination with discrepancies in what they told investigators.

That continued Monday morning with cross-examination of one victim who alleged that she was assaulted and robbed by Uribe on three separate occasions, including an attack that occurred while her friends were shopping for groceries.

She told the jury that while Uribe was raping her and smacking her in the face, the friends returned and heard her screaming. When they opened the door, Uribe ran out into the parking lot, where their driver tried to stop him from leaving only to have his foot run over by Uribe's car, the woman testified.

But under questioning from defense attorney MMichael Clancy, the victim refused to identify the friend who was there. When Clancy asked the name of the driver, she responded "he died."

“Did he have a name before he died?” Clancy asked.

"I don't know his name," the witness said. "Lisa assigned him to us."

Lisa, who was born in China and is not in the U.S. legally, testified Monday that she first met Uribe in 2021 when he paid her for sex at a Red Roof Inn. He returned several more times and she liked him — enough so that she became jealous when another girl also had his attention, she said. After learning he was a federal agent, she briefly tried to get his help with her immigration status.

“He said he is in immigration police. I told him about my work permit. I thought he could help me,” Lisa testified, adding later that he ultimately did not help.

Lisa kept her head bowed during much of her testimony and nodded answers at times, prompting the attorneys to repeatedly tell her she had to answer out loud. At one point, she took issue with Clancy's questions about her sex work, particularly the nuances of her relationship with Uribe.

“I don’t know how to explain,” Lisa said, keeping her eyes downcast at the witness stand. “This is my privacy. It is not related to the case.”

When Clancy continued to press whether Uribe had always paid her for sex when they saw each other, Lisa at first declined to answer

“It’s my work. That happened many years ago,” she said. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

U.S. District Judge Jorge Alonso told her: “You have to answer the question. The attorney has a right to question you.”

On redirect examination, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Rothblatt asked Lisa about the lunch at the seafood buffet. She said he never denied participating in the attacks. And after lunch at the buffet, he cashed in on the offer almost immediately.

“He followed us back to the hotel and he had sex with the other two women,” she said.

"And did he pay for it?" Rothblatt asked.

“No, it’s free,” Lisa said.

Later Monday, prosecutors called Jose Sarabia, a North Chicago police detective who is related through marriage to Uribe's younger brother.

Sarabia testified he recognized Uribe in the photo from the buffet that was sent in a bulletin issued by Schaumburg police in October 2022. In a text message string shown to the jury, Sarabia advised Uribe to get in touch with police.

"If they ask how you know tell them cop friend told you just to call them," Sarabia wrote in the text.

“Si Pero now I need to find a lawyer,” Uribe replied. “If I’m going to be talking to the police que no? Dude I’m freaking out.”

“Don’t be,” Sarabia replied, adding that the bulletin only said he “may or may not be involved.”

A few weeks later, Sarabia talked briefly to Uribe while playing bags at a nephew's birthday party and asked if he'd reached out to the authorities. Uribe said only to "not to mention anything" about it to his wife, and that "he would take care of it," Sarabia testified.

What was his demeanor? the prosecutor asked.

“Calm as always,” Sarabia testified.

"The stop work order on the Brandon Road project resulted in costly and unnecessary delay, putting us even closer to seeing invasive carp cause irreversible harm to the Great Lakes," said Joel Brammeier, president and CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes. "The overwhelming response of the entire region – including the bipartisan Congressional Great Lakes Task Force, the Great Lakes states, anglers, boaters, skilled construction workers, environmental organizations and many fellow Great Lakers – shows that we are and will continue to stand united in support of this critical project."

Despite the bipartisan and widespread support that has characterized the project, its funding and progression have, since Trump's second term began, become a point of contention between his administration and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

The stop-work order was lifted after discussions between Trump and Whitmer.

"Now that construction can resume, we will continue to make sure that it stays on track — at the construction site and in Washington, D.C.," said Brammeier in a news release last week. "For the sake of the ecosystem and economy that our region depends on, we simply cannot afford any further disruption."

Great Lakes environmental organizations from Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana and Ohio began in late August calling on the project to continue without additional interruptions and costs.

“Once an invasive species is introduced – the environment it breaches is never the same,” said Brian Gill, senior director of government affairs and policy at the Shedd Aquarium, in a news release Aug. 26. “We have years of evidence that non-native species forever alter the food web, outcompete native species and risk the overall safety and stability of the waterways we all rely on for our way of life. We also know from experience that it costs far more to try and clean up the repercussions of invasive species than it does to invest in proactive protections.”

Jennifer Walling, CEO of the Illinois Environmental Council, said the project “represents years of bipartisan collaboration and a critical shared investment in the future of our waterways, communities, and economy.” The vice president of government affairs at the Ohio Environmental Council, Spencer Dirrig, said the fish “don’t care about petty politics, and they won’t stop trying to enter the Great Lakes.”

Michigan and Illinois are contributing \$64 million and \$50 million, respectively, toward the project total. In May 2024, members of Congress from both states secured an increase in the federal cost share for operations and maintenance after construction to 90%. The federal government will also cover 90% of the project's construction costs; Congress has already appropriated \$274 million for the first of three phases, which started in May of last year.

Phase one involves site preparation and bedrock removal, as well as installing some multilayered technologies, including a bubble barrier that removes small fish trapped under barges or carried in their wake and an acoustic deterrent that creates painful sound waves for silver carp, which have a specialized connection between their inner ear and swim bladder that triggers a panic reaction when they hear loud noises. The second and third phases will include an electric barrier and more acoustic deterrents. At the end, a flushing lock will send larval fish and eggs trapped under commercial barges back downstream.

Invasive across the United States, these carp include silver, bighead, grass and black carp. The fish were introduced in the 1960s to get rid of seaweed without using chemicals in aquaculture facilities and sewage ponds in Arkansas.

But after extreme flooding events in the 1980s and 1990s, the carp escaped into the Mississippi River basin — the third largest in the world — spreading to 31 states. Some were also released after breeding experiments failed.

Silver and bighead carp are particular threats to native species as they have no natural predators in American waterways and likely never will, meaning their populations can grow uncontrollably.

Additionally, they can't be easily caught as they don't care for bait; they are filter feeders and eat plankton from the base of the aquatic food chain. Because of their large numbers and reproductive capacity, silver and bighead carp can eat faster than and starve native fish and mussels.

After monitoring crews, made up of biologists and experts from state and federal agencies, discovered juvenile silver carp in the Marseilles

Pool of the Illinois River in August, they have ramped up additional monitoring in the upper river, its tributaries and the Dresden Island Pool some 50 miles from Lake Michigan.

They are also implementing electrofishing — a monitoring tool that sends electric currents from a boat to stun fish for collection and removal — in backwater habitats that juvenile carp like. Back in May, Army Corps crews conducted electrofishing surveys in Lake Calumet, which is 6 miles downstream of Lake Michigan via the Calumet River, and found no bighead or silver carp.

Experts are also studying the microchemistry — the study of chemical elements in ear bones and scales — of the fish captured in August to understand their origins.

Contract commercial fishing for adult invasive carp resumes this month in the Starved Rock and Marseilles pools in LaSalle County and in the Dresden Island Pool near the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers. These locations are known to have adult invasive carp, but not multiple life stages of young, so fish biologists do not consider these populations established there.

Multi-agency monitoring over the past 16 years has indicated established invasive carp populations in the lower 240 miles of the Illinois River, from the Peoria Pool all the way toward its confluence with the Mississippi, along which they have wreaked havoc on local economies and ecosystems.

Mayor Johnson kicks off a reelection campaign with a speech full of bile

Mayor Brandon Johnson speaks with supporters after announcing he will run for reelection at the DuSable Black History Museum on Sunday. ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

We hoped to hear in Mayor Brandon Johnson's speech announcing his reelection bid that he'd learned something from the chaotic three-plus years in which he's served.

What we got on Sunday was the left-wing version of what we saw last week from President Donald Trump in Dallas: divisiveness, combined with the demonization of opponents.

Did the mayor mention any of the many announced candidates running against him by name on Sunday as he kicked off his campaign? He did not. The one person he identified by name — more than once — was Michael Sacks, the billionaire private-equity executive who has been an active and hardworking participant in Chicago civic life for the past two decades.

"When you hear that someone wants to be your mayor and they claim to be progressive but they take money from AIPAC and Michael Sacks and corporate interests and shell PACs, you know who has the power. It's not you," Johnson proclaimed to hundreds of supporters.

That “someone” clearly was referring to Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, the perceived front-runner at this early stage in the race, but Johnson didn’t have the guts to call him out by name. Instead, he preferred to make it appear as if he’s running against Sacks, who along with

other wealthy Chicagoans has contributed substantially to Giannoulias.

Giannoulias hasn't taken a dime from AIPAC — the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — in this campaign, but that didn't stop the mayor from attempting to tie Giannoulias to the misery in the Middle East. He was doing this for the benefit of young progressives for whom the Palestinian cause and opposition to Israel remains an animating issue.

We get the hardball nature of Chicago politics, but inserting AIPAC into a race in which it is not participating, never mind the antisemitic implication of demonizing Sacks and AIPAC, is unseemly even for this city. A sitting Chicago mayor should not stoop this low even in a political campaign.

Apparently, such Trump-like attack tactics are what this mayor feels he must use when the record of his term is one of stasis and division. We've seen Johnson spend virtually his entire time in office attempting to tick off items on progressives' wish list, largely unsuccessfully.

These included a bevy of taxes on corporations or wealthy individuals, infamously listed in a report from Johnson allies issued just prior to his taking office

titled, "First We Get the Money." The vast majority of those levies required authorization from Springfield, which never came despite entreaties from Johnson. The last on the list — reviving and dramatically increasing the so-called head tax on Chicago jobs provided by its largest private-sector employers — was shot down by the council last year despite a push from Johnson so intense that he brought the city to the brink of a government shutdown.

Even an early victory for him — the gradual elimination of the subminimum wage for tipped workers — was paused earlier this year by a City Council alarmed by the closure of neighborhood restaurants.

The closest Johnson came on Sunday to acknowledging his lack of success was to say “the road traveled has not always been smooth.”

That is putting it mildly. The unpopularity of this administration has managed against the odds to create a working majority of aldermen who have forged something akin to a commonsense caucus, defeating many of the mayor's initiatives. Instead of trying to find common ground with some of them and create his own working majority, Johnson derides them as the “corporate caucus.”

He uses that term generally as a slur and not only in reference to political opponents but also including media outlets that have the temerity to probe his priorities and uncover the dysfunction in his government.

Again, a Trumpian way of behaving.

So, returning to what we said at the outset, what has the mayor learned from all this resistance to his agenda? At least based on Sunday's performance, his primary takeaway is to push for more of the same and castigate those standing in the way in terms that imply they don't want what's best for Chicago just as much as he does.

Most of all, that sort of finger-pointing is where this mayor has fallen so short during his time in office. We've said it before, but running a big city isn't a job that lends itself to an extreme ideological lens. It is fundamentally a management challenge — an extremely difficult one for any mayor, we acknowledge, particularly for a city as fiscally stressed as Chicago. It calls for pragmatism and flexibility.

As he tries to convince Chicagoans another four years wouldn't be as gridlocked and confidence-sapping as these last three-plus years have been, Johnson's first task should be to treat those who disagree with him as just that. People who disagree with him. Not evildoers. Not people with bad intentions.

Just fellow Chicagoans, who love the city, too, and want it stabilized and revived.

Do suburban taxing bodies understand what has already happened to homeowners' property tax bills?

The old familiar cycle for many Chicagoans goes: spend your 20s in the city, get married, maybe have a kid or two and then top that off with a move to the suburbs.

And while plenty of the fancier burbs have always been out of reach for those of more modest means, plenty of pleasant corners of Chicagoland, near and far, have historically been places where young families could afford to plant roots.

We fear the winds are changing.

On top of home prices that skyrocketed in the COVID era, many of the places where affordability was still the order of the day are crowding out would-be new neighbors with property taxes that are also going through the roof.

These seem to rise on their own every year (for 32 years straight, if you're in Cook County), but a new force continues to bump them

further still: the dreaded school district referendum.

Several are cropping up on ballots this Nov. 3. We urge voters not to ignore them, especially if they're among those feeling the pinch of property taxes

District 214, which covers much of Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, Mount Prospect and other northwest suburbs, wants to borrow \$295 million.

The cost? A hundred bucks extra per year for someone whose home is worth \$250,000; \$170 more for homes worth about \$396,000; \$218 more for a home worth \$500,000; and \$335 for a \$750,000 home, according to the district. That's on top of another local referendum for District 57 in Mount Prospect, where homeowners just were hit with an estimated \$714 per year for a home with a market value of \$375,000.

The people in this area aren't living in the wealthiest enclaves of the North Shore. They're mostly regular folks working regular jobs, being asked to absorb hundreds and hundreds more per year.

District 45 in DuPage County, which covers parts of Elmhurst, Lombard, Villa Park and Oakbrook Terrace, is seeking \$4.4 million more in property taxes annually, which may seem less daunting except for the fact that even this amount is projected to add \$299 per year for a home with about \$350,000.

St. Charles District 303 is asking to borrow \$282.5 million for facility improvements. For a home worth \$500,000, that'll mean an extra \$645 a year.

This is a lot of money. Not only that, but it's a lot of money on top of a lot of other expensive demands placed upon homeowners.

Every year is painful, but when homeowners opened bills this year, there has been a more palpable sense of urgency. We won't call it panic, exactly, although some households may surely feel that way, but rather a creeping anxiety calling into question their future here, in their home, in their community, with the neighbors they've grown to know well. Can they afford this much longer?

Most people will stay put and make do, it's true, but choosing to call the suburbs home is requiring much more sacrifice.

Enough is enough, but when will it end? How much more do the officials running these districts think people can afford to take?

And why is the sense of sacrifice so one-sided? Shouldn't both share the burden?

The deal people make when they move outward from the city center is that they're trading proximity to Chicago for safer neighborhoods and better schools. We want to keep that end of the bargain. But the question increasingly becomes how do we do so without breaking the bank?

What can give on the spending side that can serve both taxpayers and government services equally?

Because right now, one side is getting a much more raw deal than the other.

We've heard tell of eyes nearly popping out in recent weeks as property tax bills for modest homes in some parts of the suburbs jump over \$1,000. Still, those same property taxpayers face even higher bills if the District 214 referendum passes.

Before districts ask for another dime, a homeowner needs assurances: Where are you cutting on your end before asking me to take a hit on mine?

ON THIS DAY 26 YEARS AGO NICOR, GET THE LEAD OUT ON MERCURY

In its handling of public concern over mercury contamination, Nicor Inc. is displaying a proclivity for slow motion and serial embarrassment. Its contradictory statements and plodding actions have led to state and federal investigations, public outrage, and at least one civil lawsuit. ...

That's what Nicor should have been doing since the problem was discovered two months ago, without prodding from the court....

In mid-July, Nicor cleaned 12 homes in Mt. Prospect and Lombard after it was found they were contaminated with mercury spilled when indoor gas meters or regulators were removed. A month later, the utility said 87 homes in 11 suburbs could be affected.

Nicor spokesman Lee Haines said then that “we feel like we’ve identified the homes that really need to be inspected.” How wrong was that? Just a few weeks later, Nicor has had to inform 200,000 homeowners that their homes will need to be tested for possible mercury contamination. The company has had to admit that some meters that were removed and disposed of still had mercury inside. It has had to acknowledge that spilled mercury was found at

Early on, Nicor said it was keeping information close to its vest because it didn't want to upset the public. But when homes are being encased in plastic or work sites are undergoing daylong inspections, fear and worry increase for people who do not know if they are at risk.

Mercury poisoning can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and lungs as well as developing fetuses. ... That makes the possibility of contamination a fundamental safety and health concern, and the public has to be told exactly who is at risk. Yet, Illinois Atty. Gen. Jim Ryan, who took Nicor to court, said the utility has repeatedly supplied law enforcement authorities with inaccurate or incomplete information. That has to stop.

Nicor's first court-ordered deadline, to identify sites of possible contamination, is Friday. To miss that deadline means a \$5,000-a-day fine, pocket change for a billion-dollar firm. But the real cost—ask Ford, Bridgestone/ Firestone, United Airlines—is in loss of trust.

Nicor better make that deadline. Tribune editorial board, Sept. 15, 2000

Riley O'Neil died a preventable death. We can't cut funding for safe streets

By Daniel La Spata, Matt Martin, Julia Ramirez and Desmon Yancy CHICAGO TRIBUNE

On June 5, Chicago city employee Riley O'Neil was killed while riding his bike on Halsted Street through the Bridgeport neighborhood. As a seasoned cyclist and member of the Complete Streets team at the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), O'Neil knew how to navigate the streets safely on a bike. But the lack of safe infrastructure meant a careless mistake by a driver opening their door into O'Neil's path had fatal consequences.

Tragedies such as this are preventable. Each year, dozens of people walking and biking are killed on Chicago's streets. Thousands more are seriously injured. Drivers and people riding in cars are likewise killed and injured in crashes that can be prevented by better infrastructure designs and more robust investment.

While Chicago has made progress reducing the number of fatal crashes on our roadways, the harsh reality is that they remain stubbornly high because of a lack of committed action.

As elected leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure the public safety of our residents. Alongside more than a dozen of our aldermanic colleagues, we endorsed a set of policy recommendations geared toward ensuring tragedies such as what befell O'Neil become a thing of the past.

Every day, we partner with residents, local businesses, city agencies and other stakeholders to plan and implement roadway projects in our wards. We know what works. A city free from serious injuries and fatalities on our roadways is within our reach.

To this end, we are committed to pursuing the following immediate actions — each of these items could have prevented O'Neil's death if enacted sooner.

1. Ensure adequate staffing and resources for CDOT: We should exempt CDOT from the city hiring freeze and allow vacant positions to be filled immediately. In particular, we must increase the number of budgeted traffic engineers, the lack of which is a bottleneck that delays all traffic studies and road improvements. Overall, we must maintain – and, wherever possible, grow – CDOT and capital improvement project funding levels during the upcoming city budget process.

2. Share additional bike safety information through the city clerk's office: We are committed to collaborating with the clerk's office to share road safety information as part of existing processes with residents, including information on the Dutch reach, a step that drivers can take to prevent dooring, as part of the annual renewal of residents' vehicle stickers.

3. Expand equitable traffic enforcement: The City Council should pass an ordinance this fall making the Smart Streets Pilot Program permanent with a path toward expanding the program citywide. Furthermore, we should recommit ourselves to working toward passing the recommendations provided by the Equity in Enforcement working group.

These three groups of immediate actions are just a first step in what needs to be a long-term, committed effort by the City Council, the mayor, the city clerk and city agencies to address preventable traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities. We have shared these recommendations with these key decision-makers in advance of the council's work on the 2027 city budget.

Working together, we can bring about the city O'Neil dedicated his life to building — a city with safe streets for all Chicagoans.

It's too soon to claim success in reducing Chicago violence

A police officer with a rifle stands at the scene where four people were shot, one fatally, near the intersection of North Lockwood Avenue and West Madison Street in Chicago's Austin community on June 8. ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

By John Schmidt SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

The fact that Chicago saw 122 homicides over the summer months — the lowest summer total since 1965 — has some declaring a major success. But in 1965, Chicago had 700,000 more people. Per capita, the homicide rate is actually 25% higher when comparing the two summers. That rate of violence as it affects families, friends and neighbors — not as a citywide total — is what we experience as individuals and communities.

More importantly, the comparison that matters now is not to Chicago 60 years ago but to other American cities that are our competitors for business, population and the other elements that make cities great. Those other cities are also the right measure for the level of public safety we can and should achieve in every neighborhood.

Unfortunately, for the first eight months of this year, Chicago's homicide total, compared with that of other cities, is worse than ever.

In the first eight months, Chicago had 288 homicides, far more than any other city. Next on the list is Los Angeles, with over 1 million more people, which saw 192 homicides. Then comes New York City, with over three times our population, with 173 homicides.

Nothing about Chicago's economy, or any social or other characteristics of our population, accounts for those differences. Historically speaking, that hasn't been the trend; in the early 1990s, when Chicago had over 900 homicides, New York City had over 2,200 and Los Angeles over 1,000. Chicago did bring its homicide total down to 450 in 2007. But then in Chicago, unlike those other cities, the decline we saw in gun violence stopped. That is an institutional failure, not a function of any external forces, for which we ourselves bear responsibility.

There are some smaller cities — such as St. Louis; Birmingham, Alabama; and New Orleans — that have a homicide rate higher than Chicago's. But we should not gain any comfort from shared failure — and those cities are not our competitors for growth in the critical categories that produce and sustain a great city such as Chicago.

One reason Chicago's comparative statistics are now worse than ever is because cities across the country, including Chicago, experienced a significant decline in homicides in recent years. Chicago has gone from 617 homicides in 2023 down to 416 last year. In almost all other cities around the country, that decline has continued into 2026. But in Chicago, the decline has stopped, and total homicides for the first eight months are about even with last year.

Given our history two decades ago, seeing the decline in homicides stop here is an ominous development.

The University of Chicago Crime Lab has attributed Chicago's outlier status in this regard in part to the increased prevalence in violence involving guns with large-capacity magazines and switches that convert them to automatic firing. Cook County

State's Attorney Eileen Burke has an announced policy of moving to deny pretrial release and seeking extended jail time for anyone found with such an enhanced firearm. That policy should be supported and reinforced repeatedly by Chicago public officials at all levels.

The Illinois legislature also has before it a bill supported by G-PAC and other gun control groups that would ban the sale in Illinois of pistols easily convertible with switches to automatic firing, a lethal enhancement that is not needed for self-defense. The bill leaves for sale a wide range of other firearms usable for self-defense or other lawful purposes. Similar bills have been passed in California, Connecticut, New York and Maryland. The Illinois bill was ready for passage at the end of the spring legislative session but was deferred. The General Assembly should pass the bill during its November veto session.

Cutting back on the availability and use of enhanced guns alone will not alone do the job. Chicago police, our state and federal prosecutors, and the groups working in our communities to reduce violence face together the critical job of getting us back on the downward track that will allow us someday to celebrate success in reducing Chicago homicides and gun violence to the levels we see today in other great American cities.

John Schmidt, senior counsel at Mayer Brown LLP, served from 1994 to 1997 as the associate attorney general of the United States. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Illinois Gun Violence Prevention Action Committee (G-PAC).

Will Iran become a two-front war?

Fighters loyal to the Houthi authorities march during a rally to recruit more fighters in Sanaa, Yemen, on Thursday. The country relapsed into war in July after years of calm, drawn into the regional conflict triggered by the U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iran. MOHAMMED HUWAIS/GETTY-AFP

Daniel DePetris

When U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a new economic pressure campaign on Iran last month, the goal was simple: Keep the squeeze on Tehran's economy without resorting to the return of a full-scale war that would send the Middle East back into turmoil. The strategy was designed to play to Washington's strengths as the world's paramount financial power while chipping away at Iran's ability to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage. This, combined with the U.S. Navy's program to guide tankers along the Omani coast, would dissolve Tehran's leverage over time.

That was the theory. But putting it into practice depended on Iran withholding its fire as long as the U.S. military stopped dropping bombs. That didn't come to pass. The notion that Iran would sit back as its economy moved ever closer to implosion was not grounded in reality.

Instead of acting the way we would like them to act, the Iranians have escalated. Last week, Iran's Revolutionary Guard took aim at U.S. Navy ships patrolling the Persian Gulf and enforcing the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, compelling the U.S. military to retaliate by striking Iranian oil tankers. Iran's proxies are also stepping up in a big way, targeting some of the region's most critical energy infrastructure and rattling Saudi Arabia, which risks being dragged into the U.S.-Iran confrontation against its will.

The Gulf's largest energy provider is now staring at the possibility of a two-front war. Although Iranian fire into Saudi territory stopped months ago, the Houthis in Yemen next door are increasingly striking Saudi-affiliated tankers in the Red Sea.

Unlike Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, Saudi Arabia has been able to maintain about two-thirds of its prewar oil exports by diverting oil shipments away from the Strait of Hormuz and through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on its

west coast. The roughly 750-mile east-west pipeline has been a godsend to the Saudis, who still rely predominately on oil revenue to finance their budget and fund the massive economic transformation plan their crown prince, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is working to complete in the coming years.

Yet even this route is being disrupted. On Friday, Iraqi Shia militias affiliated with Iran struck the east-west pipeline, shutting it down temporarily. Some oil industry insiders say it will take the Saudis five to six weeks to make repairs, a timeline that will empty out the kingdom's spare capacity. To make matters worse, the Houthis have captured new terrain in Yemen and acquired Perim Island, a speck of land inside the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint that better positions the Yemeni militia to intercept oil tankers.

All of this compounds the miseries of the global oil market. The International Energy Agency estimates that oil flows out of

the Gulf won't return to normal until 2027, and even this date is a projection that could shift further into the future based on how the regional situation develops.

Despite these setbacks, President Donald Trump's administration is still talking as if the war will be over by Christmas — or, as Trump has suggested frequently of late, after the midterm elections in November. Vice President JD Vance doesn't even think the United States is at war right now. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems more preoccupied with posting juvenile memes about the Canadian military than with the conflict.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, U.S. military deployments in the Middle East are being extended into next year, and senior U.S. officials are practically begging defense contractors to churn out more air defense missiles to make up for the shortfall the Pentagon now faces courtesy of a “little excursion” that was supposed to end in four to six weeks. Seven months in, we’re no

closer to an end.

The latest Houthi offensive and the shutdown of one of Saudi Arabia's most important pipelines add to the long list of questions the Trump administration is already struggling to answer. Some of those questions are monumental and go to the core of U.S. grand strategy in the Middle East as well as Washington's credibility to see this strategy through. The strike in Saudi Arabia, a country whose defense relationship with the United States traces to the 1940s, is exposing the increasingly thin reeds that have upheld U.S.-Saudi relations for so long. The Carter Doctrine, which states that the United States will treat attacks on Persian Gulf oil supplies as an attack on America's core interests, is wasting away nearly 50 years after it was first established. The U.S. defense umbrella no longer looks as solid as it did before the war with Iran started, a fact last week's events only reinforce.

As a consequence, states such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are signing security agreements with other countries such as Pakistan to reduce their dependence on a security partner that doesn't provide much security at all.

For Trump, all of these big-picture items are much less vital than the war itself. To state the obvious, Trump has dug a deep hole for the country and is having a devil of a time figuring out how to climb out of it. None of his choices are inherently good, only degrees of bad. Further escalation will instigate more escalation on the Iranian side. Returning to talks runs up against Tehran's complete distrust of Trump as an honorable negotiator who will implement what he signs. And ceding the Strait of Hormuz to Iranian control would forever ruin his self-professed image as a dealmaker.

Those are the consequences of heading head-first into a war that didn't need to be fought in the first place.

Solutions to gun violence

On Sept. 11, 2001, we recall exactly where we were. One of us was in a second-grade classroom, confused why school was dismissed early. The other was a newly minted trauma surgeon who had just dropped off his son to kindergarten on his first day of school. As the chaotic day unfolded, hospitals along the East Coast waited for patients from New York City who never came. For the past 25 years, we have paused to remember the 2,977 lives lost when the twin towers fell. The nation is still healing.

However, a far greater threat than any terrorist attack or foreign enemy continues to haunt Americans daily: firearms. Every year, roughly 48,000 Americans die by firearm — more than half by suicide and more than 40% by homicide. Sept. 11, 2001, would have to recur every three weeks a year to match the toll of deaths annually by firearm. How are we commemorating those lives?

While it is not productive to rank tragedies, a toll this constant, this preventable and this ignored demands scrutiny. For a decade, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly have pushed for a resolution to make June Gun Violence Awareness Month to commemorate the lives lost and beckon a nation to change.

We honor the bravery of first responders on that horrific day. Yet every day, law enforcement officers brave the reality that, while they are on duty, firearms are their leading cause of death.

Solutions exist. In Illinois, a proposed bill, called the Responsibility in Firearm Legislation Act, would create financial accountability for manufacturers whose products contribute the most to firearm injury. Community violence intervention organizations, thanks to investments, provide resources to the most at-risk individuals and communities. At the federal level, attempts have been made to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which shields firearm makers and dealers from civil liability.

Yet progress is being unwound. Right after President Donald Trump took office, his administration shuttered the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. It has since cut the budget of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives by more than a quarter, diverted many ATF agents to immigration enforcement, scrapped the “zero tolerance” policy for dealers who break federal law and eliminated the tax that once restricted access to suppressors and short-barreled weapons.

We hope commemorating the lives affected on 9/11 can also lead to sustainable changes where we only remember the victims of daily gun violence and not add to the scroll.

Look for the helpers

Twenty-five years ago, my wife and I had similar reactions as others to the news coming in regarding a plane crashing into a tower in New York. Listening to the radio, we heard the bulletin. Thought probably a small plane. We kept reading. More, and then more. Maybe we should turn on the TV.

We spent the day vividly watching the tragedy. We still have strong memories of the towers going down and all that followed. The strongest and most heartfelt memory is from watching footage of people leave the tower area as fast as they could to get away from the danger and a column of firefighters marching toward

the danger. A lump in my throat. They're marching into danger with one thought: They're going there to help those in trouble.

Thank God for people like that. Some in that column likely didn't make it back.

Coincidentally, a short while after 9/11, we were downtown, and a fire truck went by on a call. I've seen hundreds of fire trucks and police cars go by on calls, but this time, it felt different. I thought of the guys on 9/11 marching toward danger. Got that lump in my throat again.

Police and firefighters today, just like that day, don't know all they're going to face. They go because they're needed. They want to help.

Again, thank God for people like that.

Our students need us

About 2 in 5 Chicago public school students are missing 18-plus days of school each year, a number that should cause any Chicagoan to stop in their tracks.

When students are not attending school, they are not just missing out on instruction. They are missing out on resources and relationships vital to their development.

Students experience plenty of challenges disrupting their attendance, from community violence to a youth mental health crisis. But since chronic absenteeism surged after the pandemic, it has been an issue that our students have not been able to shake.

For some young people, the barrier is transportation to school or clothes and hygiene supplies that help them get ready. For others, it's mental health issues or emotional difficulties that make coming to school a challenge. For some, it's a lack of community and family engagement.

And it takes someone who is willing to build a relationship with that young person and connect them with resources and support they need. That's why positive relationships are a powerful, proven solution to chronic absenteeism.

It could look like:

A sixth grader experiencing crippling anxiety outside of school and a caring adult meeting her there, walking her through those doors until she can walk in alone. A once-motivated junior missing classes after a family loss and a supportive professional helping her access the self-care and grief resources she needs to get back on track. An eighth grader feeling discouraged after spring break, who becomes excited about attending because an airline pilot is presenting at his school.

As we look to this school year, how can we change that 2-in-5 statistic? How can we make sure that more students come to the school, ready to learn?

More adults, everyday Chicagoans, can build those powerful, one-on-one relationships with young people. Here's how:

Understand that every young person is unique, and so are the challenges they are facing. Reducing chronic absenteeism has to be tailored approach, driven by relationships.

Learn about your community's needs. Connect with schools and community organizations and see how you can support existing efforts.

Get engaged. Whether it's mentoring, volunteering, financially supporting an organization or building relationships with youth, your actions, big and small, build a young person's sense of connection and belonging. It leads to more learning, more students graduating and a better, stronger Chicago for all of us.

Explain law; don't insinuate

Regarding “Illinois’ right-to-die law meets the right to say no” (Sept. 11): Rather than make dark insinuations about what might happen in the future, the Tribune Editorial Board would do a better public service by pointing out the essential elements of Deb’s Law, Illinois’ new medical-aid-in-dying law.

Nobody qualifies just because of age or disability. Full stop. You must be terminally ill and reasonably likely to die of your underlying illness or illnesses in the next six months, in the considered judgment of two physicians. You must be adult and mentally capable — in other words, you know what you are doing and are making an informed choice. And

— the ultimate protection against coercion or abuse — you must take the needed medication yourself. Medical aid in dying is something you do yourself. It is not something that is done to you.

We all hope for a long and healthy life and a peaceful death when our time comes. Sometimes, however, the dying process can be hell, and it can be a very rational decision as the end approaches to say: That's it, I've had enough, I just want my suffering to be over.

It's a personal choice — indeed, the most personal of choices.

I'm a conservative, and I believe in limited government, individual freedom, individual rights and individual responsibility. I'm proud of our new Illinois law, and I believe it's fully consistent with our best tradition of freedom. — Edward Gogol, Crystal Lake

Interference by religion

Regarding religious opposition to Illinois' medical aid in dying law: "I can't do this because my religion forbids it" is freedom of religion. "You can't do this because my religion forbids it" is authoritarianism.

— Colin C. Campbell, Geneva

BOB MACKIE 1939-2026

Designer who dressed stars like Cher defined glamour of 1970s

By Mark Kennedy ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bob Mackie attends an event with singer Cher. The fashion designer died Monday at 87. EVAN AGOSTINI/INVISION 2018

NEW YORK — Bob Mackie, the fashion designer whose visually provocative Hollywood style defined glamour for the 1970s — including putting Carol Burnett in some of her kookiest getups and Cher in her raciest ones — died Monday. He was 87.

He died in Palm Springs, California, from pneumonia, his publicist said.

Dubbed the “Designer to the Stars,” Mackie won nine Emmy Awards, a Tony Award and was nominated for three Oscars, including one for Barbra Streisand’s “Funny Lady,” in which she wore a sheer batwing gown. He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame in 2002.

He designed gowns for Madonna, Sharon Stone, Diana Ross and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and concert costumes for Pink. When Marilyn Monroe delivered a breathy, seductive take on “Happy Birthday” at a fundraiser in 1962 for President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic National Committee, she did it in a sheer, beaded gown that Mackie dreamed up.

His influence can be seen in the styles of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. His archival pieces are worn today by the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Miley Cyrus and Zendaya. When Taylor Swift wanted to look like a showgirl on the cover of her 2025 album “The Life of a Showgirl,” she turned to Mackie originals.

Sequins and embellishment were natural tools — other nicknames were the Sultan of Sequins, the Rajah of Rhinestones and the Guru of Glitter — but he had a simple motto: "You don't try to change anybody, you just try to make them look better than ever," he told The Associated Press in 2018.

On Broadway, Mackie dressed the casts of “On the Town” in 1971 and “Moon Over Buffalo” in 1995. He also created costumes for Burnett in the revue “Putting It Together,” Debbie Reynolds in “Debbie” in 1976, Liza Minnelli in “Minnelli on Minnelli” in 1999 and, most recently, the cast of “The Cher Show,” winning his Tony Award.

Robert Gordon Mackie was born March 24, 1939, in Monterey Park, California, to Charles Mackie, who worked at Bank of America, and Mildred (nee Smith) Mackie. A Southern California native, Mackie embraced the idea of Hollywood movie glamour as a young child, inspired by Technicolor musicals. He would dream up elaborate costumes for his mother and older sister and sketch them, and he was active in costume and set design of his high school plays. He went to Pasadena City College to study advertising and illustration, and then costume design at Los Angeles' Chouinard Art Institute.

He also grew up a fan of all the variety show and the pop stars of the 1950s and '60s — and especially their glitzy wardrobes. He went to work for costume designer Edith Head, then got the gig for "The Carol Burnett Show."

He and Burnett had a close friendship and collaborated on memorable characters such as Nora Desmond, Eunice and her take on Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind" — called Starlet O'Hara — wearing her green curtain dress on its rods.

“I love doing funny things,” Mackie said in a 1999 interview with the AP. “One week I’d have to make Carol an unattractive postal worker, and who knows what I’d have to do the next.” (Starlet’s dress is now part of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.)

Mackie's TV worked continued on "The Sonny and Cher Show," after Cher took a liking to him when she appeared on Burnett's show. He had said her Laverne character, with her leopard-print jumpsuit and dangling earrings, was one of his favorites.

Mackie also created dozens of different Barbie dolls for Mattel, with a wide variety of face sculpts, body types and storylines. He is credited as the first designer to create a complete doll. One was Lady Dracula Cher, with little baby fangs and her box resembling a coffin.

Mackie was married to showgirl Lulu Porter from 1960 until 1963. Their son, makeup artist Robert Gordon Mackie Jr., died of AIDS at age 35. Costume designer Ray Aghayan, Bob Mackie's longtime partner, died in 2011.

Gamoran, Rabbi Hillel

Rabbi Nathaniel Hillel Gamoran, age 97, passed away peacefully in the warm embrace of family on September 13, 2026. A lifelong advocate for both Jewish and universal values, he exemplified leadership and integrity in the synagogue, in classrooms from preschools to the college campus, at summer camp, streets of our nation.

Hillel was born in Cincinnati on May 13, 1929, to the renowned Jewish educators, Emanuel and Mamie (Goldsmith) Gamoran. He and his siblings, Carmi and Judy, grew up in a vibrant Jewish home that included Hebrew study every evening after dinner. Hillel was the model for the titular character in the classic book Hillel's Happy Holidays, written by his mother and read by generations of children in Jewish religious schools.

A lifelong athlete, Hillel played basketball and tennis at Walnut Hills High School, where he graduated in 1947, and you could still find him on the tennis court into his 90s. He attended the University of Cincinnati as a math major intending to become a chemical engineer. Soon after graduation in 1951, however, he felt a different calling, and enrolled at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion to become a Reform rabbi. Meanwhile, working during the summer at a Jewish overnight camp, he was enthralled by another counselor, Judith Halperin, who became his bride in 1953. Hillel and Judith spent 1953-1954 in Israel before Hillel resumed his rabbinic studies, the first of many long visits to Israel where they felt an abiding connection. Hillel and Judith had a loving marriage of nearly 70 years until her death in 2023.

Hillel was ordained in 1956 and first served Temple B'nai Or in Morristown, NJ, before taking the pulpit that would define his career at Beth Tikvah Congregation in Hoffman Estates, IL. His 34 years of beloved leadership at Beth Tikvah encompassed all aspects of Jewish life, and it was particularly marked by an exceptional religious school. Studying Hebrew as a living language was a signature feature of Beth Tikvah's school, and the eighth grade graduations where students presented a play entirely in Hebrew were memorable affairs. Hillel also brought his commitment to Jewish education to Olin Sang Ruby Union Institute Camp, where he was instrumental in nurturing a Hebrew immersion program, Chalutzim, in which hundreds of Jewish youth cemented their attachment to the Jewish people.

Throughout his rabbinate, Hillel was an active scholar. He received his Doctorate of Hebrew Letters from Spertus College of Judaica in 1966, and published his dissertation on the topic of usury in biblical times in the Journal of Near Eastern Studies in 1971. A series of articles on the laws of usury throughout Jewish history followed, culminating in his 2006 book, Jewish Law in Transition, which showed how Jewish law evolved to accommodate the economic realities of the times. Following his retirement from Beth Tikvah, Hillel spent over a decade as a visiting lecturer in Rabbinic Literature at the University of Washington-Seattle.

Hillel's commitment to social justice was legendary. Memorably, he attended the March on Washington in 1963, the Selma march in 1965, and numerous protests against the Vietnam war and, later, the war in Iraq. He spoke out to his congregation about why his Jewish values impelled him to take up the causes of civil rights and peace. On Israel, too, he was an advocate for peace; as one colleague wrote, "Hillel enlisted the support of hundreds of American rabbis to oppose Israel's ongoing occupation of the West Bank and to work for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict."

Survivors include his children and their spouses Adam Gamoran (Marla), Saul Gamoran (Devorah), Reuben Gamoran (Julie Galton), and Miriam Gamoran Sherin (Bruce Sherin); as well as twelve grandchildren, Joel M. Gamoran (Bridget Hoffmann), Daniel Gamoran (Mary), Naomi Gamoran (Joshua Smolevitz), Joel B. Gamoran (Angiolina), Alex Gamoran (Andrea), Erin Haber (Eric), Jesse Gamoran (Mac Schumer), Isaac Gamoran, Sarah Gamoran, Leah Sherin, Mia Sherin, and Akiva Sherin; and twelve great-grandchildren. Hillel was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, his siblings, a daughter-in-law, Sherry Gamoran, and a granddaughter, Shauna Gamoran.

Funeral services will take place Tuesday. September 15, at 11:00am CT at Beth Tikvah Congregation, 300 Hillcrest Blvd, Hoffman Estates, IL 60169. The funeral will be live-streamed on Hillel's page at www.goldmanfuneralgroup.com. Burial will follow on Wednesday at the Union Field Cemetery in Queens, New York City, New York. Shiva will be held in New York City on Wednesday and in the Chicago area on Thursday and Friday.

Donations in memory of Hillel Gamoran can be made to Beth Tikvah Congregation, www.beth-tikvah.org, or Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute osrui.org. Info: The Goldman Funeral Group 847-478-1600.

Ruenne, George G

George G. Ruenne passed away on September 7, 2026 in his home in Clearwater, Florida, following a prolonged illness. He was 75 years old.

George began his career at the Midwest Stock Exchange, operating the IBM/360 mainframe computer, and later worked at CNA and as VP of a nationwide data center.

His love of the water led him to pursue sailing on Lake Michigan in his first sailboat ISOE (In Spite of Everything) and later, Dragonbreath. He captained his vessel through many successful years in the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac.

JCPenney to add store near Ford City

Burbank location will replace the one lost in closure of indoor mall

By Brian J. Rogal CHICAGO TRIBUNE

JCPenney plans to open a new store in the next few months to replace its longtime home in Chicago's Ford City Mall, according to a company spokesperson.

The vast indoor mall at 7601 S. Cicero Ave. was shuttered in June by a county judge due to unsafe conditions and a malfunctioning fire suppression system, ending its 60-year reign as the area's leading retail destination.

The department store chain's new location will be at 8148 S.

Cicero Ave. in suburban Burbank, about a half-mile south of the closed mall.

“JCPenney has a large and loyal customer base in the Chicago area, and we look forward to continuing to serve them,” the spokesperson said.

JCPenney's new location is a 39,000-square-foot building, most recently used by a Dave's Furniture & Mattress Outlet, according to CoStar. JCPenney occupied about 180,000 square feet in Ford City.

It's not surprising the company would choose to shrink its footprint, said Terri Cox, senior vice president of Matanky Realty Group. Many retailers are ditching massive stores in favor smaller locations, putting the best-selling products on the shelves, selling others online and keeping much of their inventory in storage.

"The rent on a warehouse is a lot less than the rent for a huge shopping center," she said.

JCPenney has 14 other locations across the Chicago region. It was an anchor tenant at Ford City after the 1.2 million-square-foot complex, a manufacturing site for bombers during World War II, reopened as a shopping center in 1965.

Ford City had more than 100 stores during its heyday, but the rise of online retail left long stretches of its interior entirely vacant. New York-based Namdar Realty Group, an investor known for buying up distressed retail, bought it for about \$16 million in 2019.

Abbott Labs OKs infant formula settlement

Company agrees to pay \$385M over safety of powdered product

By Lisa Schencker CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Abbott Laboratories has agreed to pay nearly \$385 million to resolve a federal investigation and lawsuit, as well as lawsuits filed by states, related to allegations over the safety of its powdered infant formulas.

Abbott, based in the north suburbs, recalled the formulas in 2022 after reports of illnesses and deaths among babies who had consumed them, due to Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella Newport infections. It was a recall that contributed to parents across the country struggling to find formula for their infants for a time.

The U.S. had alleged in its lawsuit that Abbott submitted false claims to government programs for its formula because it failed to make its formula “under conditions that protected against the risk of contamination of microorganisms.”

"Today's settlement is a victory for American families and makes clear the safety of our children is not negotiable," acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter said in a U.S. Department of Justice news release.

The settlement does not include any finding of fault or liability. The government has closed a criminal investigation into the matter, Abbott said.

“Nothing matters more than the safety and quality of Abbott’s products,” Abbott said in a separate news release Monday. “We make infant formula with the same care we would for our own families and are deeply committed to earning and maintaining caregivers’ trust.”

Abbott noted that no unopened, distributed Abbott infant formulas ever tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii or Salmonella Newport. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has previously said it did not identify a definitive link between Cronobacter cases and the Sturgis, Michigan, facility where they were manufactured, though inspections by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration uncovered issues at the plant.

The government had alleged in its complaint that conditions at the facility included roof leaks that led to water dripping over equipment as well as cracks in spray dryers used to transform liquid formula into a dry powder, among other problems.

Cronobacter bacteria can cause life-threatening infections or meningitis. Symptoms can include including poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice, grunting breaths and abnormal movements, according to the FDA. It can also cause bowel damage and spread to other parts of the body. Salmonella bacteria can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, with severe cases potentially leading to lethargy, rash, blood in the urine or stool and, sometimes, death.

Of the \$385 million settlement, more than \$348 million will go to the U.S. to resolve the false claims allegations. About \$36 million will go to certain states. The whis-

Lurie Children's makes it back to nationwide list

Publication ranks hospital among top 11 of its kind in country

By Lisa Schencker CHICAGO TRIBUNE

For the first time in years, Lurie Children's Hospital has broken back on to a list of the top children's hospitals in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report.

U.S. News has named Lurie to its honor roll this year, meaning it considers Lurie to be among the top 11 children's hospitals in the nation.

Though U.S. News has long ranked Lurie as the No. 1 children's hospital in Illinois, it hadn't made the publication's honor roll since 2018, after sitting on the list for years. No other Illinois children's hospital made the organization's honor roll.

This year, Lurie tied with two other hospitals — both in Ohio — for best children's hospital in the Midwest, after ranking third in the Midwest last year.

"We're obviously incredibly, incredibly proud to be on the honor roll and especially No. 1 in the state," said Dr. Marcelo Malakooti, chief medical officer at Lurie. He credited Lurie's improvement to its focus on quality, safety and outcomes, and continuing to look for opportunities to do better.

The rankings, he said, are validation “for families that have to make really difficult decisions.”

"It just provides them with that assurance that if they're looking for the best care for their kid, if you look at the honor roll that's a measure of that," Malakooti said.

U.S. News ranked UChicago Medicine Comer Children's

Hospital as the No. 2 children's hospital in Illinois, an honor it's earned for six consecutive years. Comer ranked this year as No. 14 in the Midwest, up two spots from last year.

To come up with the rankings, U.S. News and RTI International, a North Carolina-based research firm, collected and analyzed data from 114 children's hospitals and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists. They looked at factors such as patient survival, infection rates, staffing and adherence to best practices.

U.S. News is one of a number of organizations that rank and rate hospitals each year, with each group using its own methodology. Hospitals tend to pay close attention to rankings, with those that do well touting them in advertising to attract more patients.

Healthcare experts say consumers should use rankings and ratings as one piece of information, along with health insurance coverage, convenience and their doctors' recommendations, when choosing where to receive care.

This year's U.S. News' honor roll included 11 hospitals instead of the usual 10 because two hospitals tied for 10th place, said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis at U.S. News & World Report. The organization does not publicly assign rankings within the honor roll.

Harder said Lurie's improvement in certain specialties helped it move back onto the honor roll this year. For example, it moved to sixth place from 11th in the country for gastroenterology and GI surgery, partly because of improved survival after liver transplants. Also, for neonatology, Lurie jumped to 10th from 23rd in the nation because of better infection prevention, Harder said.

Malakooti said the hospital has continued to focus on quality, safety and outcomes, constantly looking for opportunities to improve.

Lurie also ranked eighth in the country for nephrology, sixth for neurology and neurosurgery and third for urology. Lurie had 11 specialties ranked among the top 50 in the country.

Comer had four specialties ranked among the top 50 in the nation, up from three last year.

“We're proud of the progress we're seeing across all of our programs, and we remain focused on strengthening outcomes, advancing discovery, and ensuring every child who comes through our doors receives the highest-quality care,” said Dr. John Cunningham, physician in chief of Comer and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago, in a news release.

Tech faction questioning calls to restrict AI growth

Critics of Anthropic CEO essay say safety concerns overblown

By Kalley Huang and Mike Isaac THE NEW YORK TIMES

SAN FRANCISCO — It took just a few hours over the weekend for well-known Silicon Valley figures to push back on calls by leading artificial intelligence companies to slow down the development of AI and to more tightly regulate the technology.

On Saturday, Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, said in an essay that AI was advancing too quickly for researchers to continue building it safely. He proposed that independent auditors monitor AI labs' safety work and that regulators allow the labs to work together to coordinate safety standards.

Although they appeared to differ on what should be done about it, Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO; Elon Musk, SpaceX's CEO; and Demis Hassabis, Google DeepMind's chair, all said they agreed on the need for a slower pace.

But other technology industry leaders were quick to question Amodei's motivations and whether he was sensationalizing the risks of AI to make it harder for other companies to compete with leading AI companies.

“Stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic,” said David Sacks, a technology adviser for President Donald Trump and the White House’s former AI and cryptocurrency czar, in a social media post.

The criticism of the calls for a slowdown highlighted a deep divide between people who believe the government should police AI and others who believe regulatory intervention would crush competition.

Worries about the safety of AI gained wider attention in recent weeks as details emerged about how AI built by Anthropic's top competitor, OpenAI, went rogue and hacked another company. And several days ago, one of Amodei's own employees quit his job and began a public pressure campaign to draw attention to the risks of AI.

But a number of tech industry leaders, including several who have been advising the Trump administration on tech policy, believe those concerns are overblown.

Sacks, a frequent critic of Amodei, questioned why technology companies needed government intervention to slow down their AI development when nothing was stopping them from doing just that

— particularly as they pursued a wildly ambitious goal to create so-called superintelligence, or AI that is far more intelligent than humans.

"The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it," he added. "Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system."

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said his company supported proposals like independent auditors and “broader efforts to develop the mechanisms to make this more than just talk” in a social media post Sunday.

"We also need to accelerate and spread the benefits of AI, such that they are diffused broadly across countries, communities, and companies," Nadella said. "The key is that this cannot be controlled by a handful of entities, but must have broad representation," he added.

Pantry swaps bags for carts

New Jersey nonprofit models food bank after Trader Joe's to reduce waste from prepacking

By Caitlyn Freeman THE NEW YORK TIMES

NEWARK, N.J. — At the Champion House Food Pantry in Newark, organizers noticed that some people would sift through prepackaged aid bags, then toss some of the food on the sidewalks. They took it as a sign that the traditional food bank model wasn't working.

“We’re wasting more food by giving everybody something, and some of the time they don’t need it all,” said Craig Mainor, executive director of the United Community Corp., the nonprofit that runs the pantry.

In July, the organization transformed the Champion House into the Market at UCC, modeled after Trader Joe's — swapping prefilled bags for carts that patrons could fill with stock they choose from aisles.

As people turn to food pantries amid rising grocery prices and cuts to federal food stamp benefits, choice-based models like United Community Corporation's can be a way to help newcomers and regulars feel a sense of autonomy.

“What we’re trying to do, and hopefully we are, is creating an opportunity for folks to get what they need, not necessarily what we want them to get,” Mainor said. “Also, to be able to present to them an opportunity to shop with some dignity, as opposed to just the proverbial handout.”

The Market at UCC operates three days a week and serves about 60 households daily, said Sarah Allen, a program coordinator. The conversion was her idea; she wanted to mirror similar programs she visited, like the Store in Nashville, Tennessee. It's open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., by appointment.

The Market stocks the basics — dairy, grains, meats and produce — while also supplying nonessentials like candy, coconut water and cans of hot sauce. Much of the food is donated by grocers like Trader Joe's, ShopRite and Stop & Shop. Panera Bread supplies bagels and baked goods.

On a recent Wednesday, there were diapers and Arizona Iced Tea fruit snacks in one aisle and Bowl and Basket instant mashed potatoes, stocked near toasted oats cereal, in another. The selection changes depending on the donations.

Allen also drew from her time as a Trader Joe's crew member in designing the store.

Customers are greeted by smiling staff, hand-painted produce murals and a free flower stand. Once checked in, they're free to grab a repurposed Dollar Tree cart and stroll the aisles. Volunteers in smocks float around the store ready to assist.

"I think people should still be able to have that choice, that dignified environment where they feel comfortable and they can shop for what exactly their family needs," she said.

The market also aims to be a resource hub, with a free library and ways to navigate federal aid. There are also plans to host nutrition and cooking classes.

The free store costs about \$500,000 to operate annually, about \$200,000 more than the organization’s traditional pantry model, according to Tom Wiedmann, UCC’s head of communications.

The closed Ford City Mall in Chicago on Aug. 19. ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago officials eventually filed a lawsuit against the owner, alleging Ford City Mall was plagued by water leaks, open wiring, dirty conditions and poor lighting. Early this year the city asked Cook County Judge Leonard Murray to permanently shut the property.

JCPenney fought back throughout the spring, telling Murray that its Ford City store was in good condition and remained popular with Southwest Side residents.

Murray allowed JCPenney and a few other stores to operate for a few months, but ultimately sided with the city, ordering Namdar to close the mall by June 22.

The Chicago Plan Commission in August approved a plan to demolish the mall, and replace it with a collection of warehouses and distribution buildings. Many nearby residents claim new warehouses will bring diesel-belching trucks to the neighborhood, and oppose the \$200 million proposal. The project still needs City Council approval.

The loss of Ford City Mall doesn't mean the local retail sector is in steep decline, Cox said. Massive indoor malls like Ford City are expensive to heat and cool, so many have struggled or shut down, but retailers still operate successfully at smaller, open-air

centers, she said.

A select group of indoor malls, including Schaumburg's Woodfield Mall, where JCPenney is an anchor tenant, and Chicago Ridge Mall in southwest suburban Chicago Ridge, have learned how to thrive, she added.

Owners transformed these malls into public gathering spots, rather than simple shopping destinations, by recruiting more restaurants and other experiential retail, and hosting community events.

"The economy changes, peoples' shopping habits change, so you have to change with them if you want to stay ahead of the game," Cox said.

Amazon to pause use of cargo carrier in fatal crash

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — Amazon announced that it has suspended its partnership with 21 Air after one of the cargo carrier's planes loaded with Amazon packages went off a Miami runway last week and killed five people.

The Boeing 767 came in fast on Sept. 6 and then barreled roughly 1,300 feet past the end of the runway and smashed into a van carrying workers at a plane cleaning company. All five people who died were in the van. Five others were hurt.

"After the tragic incident last weekend, we've spent time supporting the investigation and reviewing some of the surrounding circumstances, and we've decided to pause our operations with 21 Air, the operator of Flight 7598," Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said Sunday in a statement.

The National Transportation Safety Board will examine everything that might have contributed to the crash to determine what caused it.

The North Carolina carrier had flown packages for Amazon since 2024. The company also flies packages for DHL, which declined to say Monday whether DHL will continue to use 21 Air because of “the ongoing investigation.”

Flight information released by the NTSB on Wednesday revealed one of the pilots warned his counterpart they were going too fast as they approached for landing and after touchdown.

The plane was unsteady as it came in and didn't touch down until it was well beyond where it was supposed to on the runway, which limited the amount of space it had to stop. A tail wind may have helped propel the plane farther. The cockpit audio recordings also captured a series of automated warnings from the plane about the speed of descent and the approaching terrain.

Business briefs

CARNEY TO PITCH CANADA TO GLOBAL INVESTORS AT SUMMIT

TORONTO — President Donald Trump wants factories and investment moving south to the United States. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is betting he can make billions flow north.

About 300 CEOs and senior executives from some of the world's biggest investment firms will arrive in Toronto for Carney's Canada Investment Summit this week.

The investors collectively manage more than \$120 trillion in assets, underscoring the scale of capital Carney hopes to tap as Canada tries to attract billions in new investment and reduce its economic dependence on the U.S.

Carney pointed to his nation's vast energy and critical-mineral resources, its highly educated workforce and trade agreements that give businesses based in Canada access to roughly 1.5 billion consumers around the world. —Associated Press

JAPANESE EXECUTIVES RESIGN OVER FALSIFIED REACTOR DATA

TOKYO — The president of Chubu Electric Power Co., Japan's third-largest utility, said Monday that he and the chairperson are resigning to take responsibility over the company's yearslong manipulation of earthquake safety data for two nuclear reactors and that the operator will withdraw applications to restart them.

Japan is gradually restarting some of the 54 nuclear reactors it closed in 2011, after the Fukushima disaster, when a 9.0 earthquake off the northeast coast and a tsunami caused meltdowns at three reactors operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings.

Chubu Electric said that an outside investigative panel found that the utility had for years provided manipulated seismic data for its Hamaoka No. 3 and No. 4 reactors about 125 miles west of Tokyo to ensure the figures met requirements. — Associated Press

ABBOTT

from Page B1

tleblowers who brought the case on behalf of the federal government and who were Abbott employees — Scott Millard, Kristine Cooper, and Loren Cooper — will get \$69 million as their share of the federal settlement. The False Claims Act allows whistleblowers to file lawsuits on behalf of the federal government and share in any money recovered.

More than half of infant formula bought in the U.S. is paid for with federal funds through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, which provides healthy food, including infant formula, to young children and women who are pregnant or recently gave birth and are below certain income thresholds.

The \$385 million agreement follows another unrelated, large settlement for the Illinois-based company. In a separate matter, Abbott recently agreed to pay \$670 million to settle a high-profile lawsuit and claims made on behalf of thousands of others related to allegations that its formula for babies born prematurely causes a dangerous intestinal disease. Abbott still faces 1,700 lawsuits across the country over whether its formula for preterm infants causes the diseases.

Agency ends limits that curb emissions from power plants

By Matthew Daly ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency said Monday it is repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas and announced it is taking a separate but related step to prevent future administrations from regulating climate pollution from power plants.

The rule change, first proposed last year, represents a fundamental shift from efforts by Democratic Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama to address climate change and clean up industrial pollution.

Environmental groups decried the change, saying it would come at a cost to Americans' health and further degrade the environment.

Revoking the Biden-era power plant rule would save industry more than \$300 billion in costs and help “unleash” American energy, the EPA said.

The change will allow utilities to make the best decisions for their ratepayers rather than be forced to close aging or inefficient plants, said EPA Assistant Administrator Aaron Szabo.

The power plant rule, to take effect soon after publication in the Federal Register, is expected to face immediate legal challenges.

Environmental groups also are likely to challenge the separate rule proposed Monday that could prevent future administrations from regulating greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The proposal, expected to be made final next year, follows on EPA's action earlier this year revoking a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

The February action eliminated all greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and trucks. The new plan would apply similar logic to a broader undoing of climate regulations on stationary sources such as power plants.

The announcements came as EPA chief Lee Zeldin, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary Chris

Wright host a G20 ministerial meeting on “energy abundance” in Houston. The announcement of the rule, coming on the same day, is both a nod to the important role oil-rich Texas plays in the energy industry and a potential snub of European and other international allies in attendance who have pursued environmentally friendly policies that the Trump administration has moved to undo.

Republican President Donald Trump called climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” at a speech to the United Nations last year, and his administration withdrew the United States — for the second time — from the

2015 Paris climate accord that sets voluntary goals to curb planet-warming emissions.

Trump has boasted of U.S. energy abundance even as the Iran war continues to disrupt global fuel markets and gas prices top \$4.31 a gallon, up more than a dollar from a year ago.

The rollbacks are meant to fulfill Trump's repeated pledge to “unleash American energy” and make it easier for utilities to supply electricity for homes and businesses.

Former Vice President Al Gore said the EPA's action moves the United States "in the exact opposite direction of the rest of the world. With ongoing disruption in global energy markets, the clear answer to rising costs and energy security is clean energy."

Even as the Trump administration “is dragging the U.S. backwards,” the transition to clean energy transition “will continue to take hold ... both in the U.S. and globally,” Gore said Monday in a email to The Associated Press. “That’s because clean energy is cheaper, creates more jobs and bolsters energy security.”

The power plant rule is among nearly three dozen environmental regulations that Zeldin targeted in early 2025 when he announced what he called the “most consequential day of deregulation in American history.”

Zeldin said in proposing the new rules last year that they were meant to end the

Biden and Obama administrations' “war on so much of our U.S. domestic energy supply.”

Environmental and public health groups called the new rollbacks dangerous and vowed to challenge the rules in court.

“Tearing down our national protections against climate pollution from power plants will have enormous costs for the health, safety and well-being of families across the country,” said Vickie Patton, general counsel for the Environmental Defense Fund. “Americans everywhere are already suffering from record-breaking heat, more dangerous floods and storms, and skyrocketing insurance costs.”

The EPA has a legal responsibility to protect the public from harmful pollution, Patton said, adding that “clean, affordable and reliable technologies are widely available to power our homes and businesses.”

Coal, gas and oil-fired power plants are responsible for about one-quarter of the nation's total climate pollution, second only to the transportation sector.

The rules targeted by Trump's EPA could prevent an estimated 30,000 deaths and save \$275 billion each year they are in effect, according to an Associated Press examination last year that included the agency's own prior assessments and a wide range of other research.

Biden had made fighting climate change a hallmark of his presidency. Coal-fired power plants would have been forced to capture smokestack emissions or shut down under a strict EPA rule issued in 2024. Those rules are now being upended.

Senate vote on crypto bill tees up key time for sector

President agrees to new ethics rules that apply to his activity

By Seung Min Kim ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump had been hearing the message loud and clear for weeks about the sweeping cryptocurrency bill being written in the Senate: To get it across the line, he would have to agree to ethics provisions that apply to him too.

First, Trump agreed to a measure that would bar him and his wife from issuing the types of meme coins that they launched as he prepared to return to the White House for a second time. And then another concession came late Sunday, when Republicans said Trump consented to a tougher ethics proposal that several key senators had demanded.

Now, a pivotal Senate vote on the cryptocurrency bill on Tuesday could mark a watershed moment for the \$2.3 trillion market — but it hinges mainly on whether those sign-offs from Trump go far enough. That vote could determine whether Washington cements crypto legitimacy into law or whether a frustrated, deep-pocketed industry could unleash even more campaign cash in the midterm elections.

"A vote against the Clarity Act isn't a principled stand against President Trump," Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo, the lead author of the crypto bill, told The Associated Press. "It's a vote against implementing tough restrictions on politicians for crypto investments."

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who returned to the Senate on Monday for the first time since June 14 when he was hospitalized after a fall at his home, expects to be on hand for the vote.

The president has amassed significant amounts of crypto wealth while in office, complicating dynamics for senators drafting legislation to try to bring the fledgling digital assets industry into the mainstream. With that in mind, Lummis and Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, went to the White House for a meeting in mid-July and told Trump that he would have to abide by conflict-of-interest restrictions to get key Democrats on board with the bill.

The president agreed — with surprisingly little pushback, according to two people with knowledge of the Oval Office discussion, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the private talks.

The language presented in that meeting by Lummis, a longtime crypto backer steeped in the intricacies of digital asset policy, and Moreno, a blockchain entrepreneur and luxury car dealer known for his persuasive sales pitch, would bar all federally elected officials and their spouses, as well as federal judges, from issuing digital assets. That would mean Trump would no longer be able to sponsor the type of meme coin he launched on the cusp of his second inauguration in January 2025, nor would his wife, first lady Melania Trump, who also has a token.

But Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., then presented an additional proposal to the White House that went further. It would require the president to put his crypto holdings in a blind trust and divest when those holdings reach a certain value, according to two other people with direct knowledge of the language. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private negotiations.

It would also allow state attorneys general to step in and enforce the law in addition to the Justice Department — a critical provision for Democrats who say they would not be able to trust a Trump-appointed attorney general to enforce any conflict-of-interest provision against the president.

That proposal could, in theory, force Trump to divest from ventures such as World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency venture his sons launched in 2024.

Trump reported more than \$500 million in revenue from World Liberty Financial sales of crypto products, including “governance tokens,” in his annual disclosure report filed with the Office of Government Ethics — a significant share of the more than \$1.4 billion the president reported from crypto businesses last year. In private, White House officials had raised concerns about giving state attorneys general the power to enforce the law, arguing Democratic state lawyers could use it as a political weapon against the president and other GOP officials — and it could be used by Republican attorneys general against elected Democrats, according to the two people familiar with the July Oval Office discussion.

Still, Trump agreed to language that includes a “meaningful role” for state attorneys general to play in enforcing the crypto measure should it become law, according to a Sunday night statement from Lummis and Sens. John Boozman, R-Ark., and Tim Scott, R-S.C., the bill’s main authors.

A senior GOP aide, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said the president had agreed to “about 80%” of the proposal from Tillis and Gallego, pointing to the state attorneys general provision.

Trump calls restriction efforts ‘SICK conspiracy’ against AI technology

By Josh Boak

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Monday he would be a sufficient guardrail against rogue artificial intelligence, claiming that any efforts to limit the technology is part of a “SICK conspiracy.”

Trump was pushing back against calls by tech leaders such as Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk to have greater government oversight of AI. Many tech leaders generally say their goal is to develop the technology in ways that promote safety, address legal liability, feed economic growth, advance science and preserve national security.

The president maintained his presence in the Oval Office should assuage any fears about AI, which has become a source of controversy after a series of hacks in recent months that showed AI agents could be working to deceive humans.

"The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" Trump posted on social media.

Trump specifically said the administration has already stopped the AI company Anthropic “from doing bad, or potentially bad” things. Anthropic has endured an uncomfortable relationship with the Trump administration, with the Pentagon trying to label the company a security risk and the government issuing a temporary ban of one of its more advanced models.

The president went even further in a Monday afternoon post that asked “when, in the History of Business, did anyone see the Leaders of an Industry call for Regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy?”

The president then added that the potential threat that AI could pose to humanity was a hoax, despite clear warnings by many of the experts closest to the most advanced models.

“AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX,” posted Trump.

Amodei, the Anthropic CEO, published a 3,800-word essay Saturday that called for slower development of AI. Microsoft on Monday published its own code of conduct to ensure that humans control AI. Trump returned to the White House last year by revoking a Biden administration executive order on AI oversight and only providing a fuller order of his own more than 16 months later this past June.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters Monday he expects Trump will have the AI companies potentially meet at the White House this week or next week, saying the sit-down has yet to be scheduled.

Vice President JD Vance told reporters Monday about AI, “I don’t think Americans should be scared of anything.”

Vance gathers honest Iran war views

Military leaders give sobering assessments of issues, officials say

By Jonathan Swan, Adam Entous and Maggie Haberman THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance took the unusual step over the spring and summer of calling U.S. military commanders in the Middle East, Europe and Asia directly, seeking their unvarnished assessments of the Iran war, according to current and former officials.

Vance, who opposed the war from the outset and was charged by President Donald Trump with helping to end the conflict, wanted the commanders' individual judgments, in their own words, before they were consolidated into a Pentagon view.

The conversations delved into an array of issues related to the war, including its objectives, tactics, casualty estimates, what the Iranians would do in the Strait of Hormuz, how adaptable they had become and how much punishment their government could absorb. Vance also asked for a detailed accounting of what remained in the commanders' stockpiles, and how the transfer of weapons to the Middle East would affect their ability to deter China, Russia and North Korea.

On that last point, the commanders were blunt. They were most worried about their depleted stocks of Patriot interceptors for air defenses. By late spring, one theater was down to fewer than 100 of them. The war had also exhausted the theater's supplies of the Army Tactical Missile Systems, which can reach 190 miles, along with stores of the Precision Strike Missiles meant to replace them. Stocks of crucial munitions, they told the vice president, were the lowest they had ever seen.

This account is based on interviews with more than a half dozen current and former officials granted anonymity to disclose sensitive information.

Vance came away from some of his conversations with deep concerns about the overall strategy and the prospects for success, according to people who spoke to him. The assessments made clear the extraordinary amount of pain the Iranian government was prepared to endure in its fight for survival, and the limited supply of U.S. defensive weapons available to block Iran's retaliatory strikes, or to deal with threats elsewhere.

The vice president incorporated these lessons into his private talks with Trump and their inner circle. At the same time, the president was hearing more in his briefings from Gen. Dan Caine, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the strain on U.S. stockpiles and the resilience of Iranian forces, which Trump initially found difficult to believe.

The officials' accounts, taken together, show how Vance has sought to surface a greater level of detail and nuance about the war. They also help to flesh out hotly debated questions about what kinds of information about the war Trump is receiving, and from whom. And for Vance, who had only limited national security experience before he became vice president, they show how he is now immersed in a costly and inconclusive war that could shadow him in a potential 2028 presidential campaign.

There was a gulf between the sobering private assessments that Vance received and what top administration officials, including the president and vice president, have said publicly. Trump has continued to falsely claim that the United States has already won the war, that the Iranian military has been demolished and that there are no problems with U.S. weapons supplies. And Vance recently downplayed the idea that the United States was even engaged in a war.

Vance's calls to the commanders were made with the knowledge of the president; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth; Caine; Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who also serves as the national security adviser; and Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, according to officials with direct knowledge.

Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesperson, said in a statement that “to ensure the president’s team receives all available data points regarding ongoing operations in the Middle East, the secretary has facilitated direct access to combatant commanders for the vice president and other senior White House leaders.”

Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, said, "President Trump has built the most talented national security team in history. The entire team is laser focused on ensuring that the president has all the information he needs in order to deter America's enemies. Everybody works in coordination with each other on that mission."

Vance, who enlisted in the Marine Corps during the Iraq war, has told colleagues that he considers himself one of the president's principal advisers on national security.

Luke Schroeder, Vance's press secretary, said, "The vice president is thankful for the partnership of Secretary Hegseth and Chairman Caine. He views them as indispensable colleagues in advising the president and executing his decisions."

Before the start of the war on Feb. 28, Hegseth and Caine had restricted planning to an unusually small circle of officers at the Pentagon and in Central Command for operational security reasons, and to prevent potential leaks.

Within days of the start of the war, Vance told colleagues he wanted more granular briefings to inform his views and to better advise Trump.

The vice president sought out uniformed military officers who would offer blunt and unfiltered opinions and recommendations, and he would incorporate what he heard into his own counsel to the president.

As Vance was making his calls, the fighting ran well past the roughly six-week window that Pentagon planners had initially budgeted for the campaign. Senior White House advisers beyond the vice president did not believe they had a clear-enough understanding of how much the strikes had changed the calculus of the government in Tehran, Iran's capital.

As the war dragged on, commanders were ordered to transfer more of their munitions. They watched with alarm as their stockpiles dwindled.

By April, Trump could see the war was not going the way he had hoped. He authorized his team – including Vance, the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff – to begin seeking a framework and negotiating a deal with Iran to end the conflict, an agreement that would leave the country's authoritarians in control. The officials briefed on the calls with the commanders could not say what role, if any, the vice president's findings played in the president's shift toward diplomacy.

Vance has developed a reputation in the Trump administration for steeping himself in operational detail, a habit that some officials admire and others regard as too much in the weeds.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has given Vance direct access to agency analysts; Vance knows some of them by first name and calls their desks to ask about raw intelligence or items in his morning briefing, intelligence officials said.

But such access is the exception. For most senior officials, war information remains hard to come by.

Report: Alligator Alcatraz used small cages for ‘calming areas’

By Madeleine Ngo, Hamed Aleaziz and David Ovalle THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — A state-run immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades failed to comply with a host of federal detention standards, creating cramped conditions and confining migrants in "small metal enclosures," according to a new report by the Department of Homeland Security's independent watchdog.

The report said the use of the enclosures was unprecedented among facilities that the watchdog, the department's Office of Inspector General, has previously inspected and presented "significant risks" to detainees' health and safety. It focused on a high-profile facility known as Alligator Alcatraz, which came under intense scrutiny before it closed this summer.

The report raised further questions about a facility that became synonymous with the Trump administration's harsh treatment of immigration detainees. President Donald Trump had joked that the location was in such a remote area that detainees would have to learn "how to run away from an alligator." It was shuttered after criticism about conditions and cost, and after enduring legal challenges.

Federal investigators found that the metal enclosures — each providing only about 18 square feet of floor space — were used as “calming areas,” where detainees were held for periods ranging from several minutes to nearly two hours. Although facility staff said detainees asked to spend time in the enclosures, federal investigators found at least one instance in which the enclosures were used to discipline a detainee who “failed to comply with a lawful command.”

"The use of such restrictive spaces is highly unconventional and does not align with standards for humane treatment," the report said.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The office of Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida also did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Neither did the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which operated the facility before it closed.

Investigators found that the facility complied with intake and use-of-force standards, but it did not comply with a variety of national detention standards related to medical care, food service, personal hygiene and recreation.

The report said the facility's staff failed to provide detainees with sufficient living space. National standards require detainees to be given at least 75 square feet of floor space per person. But at maximum capacity, the housing units at the facility only provided 28 square feet per detainee, according to the report.

In July 2025, Florida quickly erected the detention center on a training airport in a rural area between Miami and Naples, championing the facility as part of the state's efforts to assist Trump's crackdown on immigration. They even erected an "Alligator Alcatraz" sign on a road to the facility, which critics denounced as cruel.

The facility had cost state officials more than \$1 million per day to operate, including for trucking in water and wastewater disposal. Florida officials closed the facility this summer, citing impending hurricane season – even though detainees spent the 2025 season at Alligator Alcatraz.

Officials say repairs to drone-hit Saudi oil pipeline to take weeks

By Samy Magdy ASSOCIATED PRESS

Houthi prisoners freed in Mokha carry their belongings as they arrive Saturday in Sanaa, Yemen, following the Houthi takeover of the southern Red Sea port city. AP

CAIRO – A crucial Saudi oil pipeline that was struck in an attack will be mostly out of service for weeks as the damage is repaired, two regional officials said Monday, as Yemen's Houthi rebels seized more islands along Red Sea shipping routes in a new blow to Saudi Arabia's oil exports.

Oil prices gained more than 2% amid growing worries about global petroleum supplies and the effect of the new developments on the ability of the world's biggest exporter to get its crude to market. The Iran war has forced the kingdom to shift its exports away from the Persian Gulf, since Iranian attacks have stifled ship traffic through the gulf's sole shipping exit, the Strait of Hormuz.

So the kingdom has relied on the East-West Pipeline, which runs 745 miles across the breadth of the country, to move its crude production from Gulf ports to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea. From there it can be put on tankers for export. But authorities were forced to shut down the pipeline after an attack Thursday that Saudi Arabia blamed on drones from Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.

Repairing the damage, including at a major pumping facility, could take three to five weeks, the officials said. The pipeline may work partially during the repairs, one of the officials said, but they could not say how much oil might get through.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to brief the media.

The pipeline has been moving a weekly average of 2.6 million to 4 million barrels per day since late August — a quantity that will be lost to the market if the pipeline's flow stops completely, according to an analyst note issued Monday by Rystad Energy, a Norwaybased energy analyst. It said the jump in prices for Brent crude, which reached \$109, "is a clear signal that the market is increasingly pricing in a significant loss of supply."

The Saudi oil company Aramco, which operates the pipeline, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The government-run Center for International Communication, which oversees foreign media in the kingdom, said it was looking into an Associated Press inquiry about how long it will take to repair.

Meanwhile, Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels continued to expand their threat to Saudi shipping routes out of the Red Sea by capturing the strategic islands of Greater and Lesser Hanish, government and Houthi officials said Monday.

The islands lie 100 miles north of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The strait is a choke point that connects the Red Sea to the open ocean and Saudi Arabia's key Asian markets.

The Houthis' advance also puts them just 20 miles from the U.S. military base in the tiny Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti, on the other side of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

For more than a month, the Houthis have been striking Saudi oil infrastructure and shipping in the Red Sea, stepping up pressure on global oil prices and boosting Iran's leverage in its war with the United States.

The Houthi advances have seemed to come with little resistance from Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces. The rebels deployed on the Hanish islands after hundreds of government-allied forces withdrew from the archipelago, according to two government officials and a Houthi official. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists.

Last week, the rebels seized the port city of Mokha and the island of Mayun, inside the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Government forces are now attempting to rally and fight back. On Sunday, the military said it launched airstrikes on Houthi positions in Mokha, the coastal town of Dhubab and elsewhere in Taiz province.

A rebel spokesman said the Houthis fired dozens of missiles and drones at the King Khalid Air Base in the southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, targeting hangars, radar installations and ammunition depots. The statement on Monday by Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree did not specify when the attack took place, but the Houthis often take hours or days to claim responsibility for attacks.

Democrats, activists respond to Trump's moves on midterms

By Nicholas Riccardi and Matt Brown ASSOCIATED PRESS

Democratic state parties announced Monday that they are launching an operation for the midterm elections they're calling the “New Battlefield Project,” intended to recruit 10,000 volunteers to guard polling places in case armed federal officers show up.

Activists are planning mass protests if the Trump administration tries to interfere with voting or ballot counting. And legal scholars are distributing white papers advising judges what they should do if the government tries to seize ballots.

The unprecedented efforts are in response to President Donald Trump's equally unprecedented moves to interfere in this year's midterm elections, which include attempts to impose proof-of-citizenship requirements to register to vote and directing the Postal Service to play a central role in deciding which voters get a mail ballot.

The anxious contingency planning as voting gets underway has become a marker for how fraught democracy has become in the country that once stood as an example to the world.

“We have never prepared for an election sabotage event like we have now,” said Ezra Levin of the left-leaning group Indivisible.

Democrats say they have reason to plan for dooms-day scenarios. During his first term, Trump refused to accept his 2020 loss to Democrat President-elect Joe Biden and attempted to overturn the vote, only to be defied by career officials and more establishment Republicans. Upon returning to power, Trump has stocked his administration with those who helped his 2020 efforts, has used the federal government to target his political enemies and pardoned more than 1,000 people prosecuted for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol that was intended to halt the certification of Biden's win.

Incumbent presidents' parties usually lose ground in the midterms, but Trump has pulled out the stops to try to keep that from happening this time. He has demanded Republicans redraw maps to create more safe seats for themselves in the House, held last week's unusual midterm convention and tried to change election rules even as states begin to send out ballots.

The advice for judges asked to approve search warrants for ballots was inspired by the Trump administration's recent seizure of 2020 ballots and other election records in Georgia based on disproven conspiracy theories.

Rick Hasen, a UCLA Law professor and director of the school's Safeguarding Democracy Project who helped write the guidance on responding to voting machine seizures, noted that Trump has expressed regret that he didn't take more aggressive action to overturn the 2020 results, such as ordering voting machines to be seized.

“All these things take what was off the wall and put it on the wall,” Hasen said. He said that while it is important not to unduly scare voters about what might happen, it’s “hard to walk the line between alarmism and complacency.”

Last year, Democrats worried that Trump might intervene in off-year elections in California, Virginia and elsewhere, only to have voting go smoothly.

White House spokes- woman Lauren Bis said in a statement: “The only ‘fears’ Americans have about our elections are being fueled by extreme liberal Democrats who refuse to support commonsense legislation that ensures Americans, and Americans only, decide our elections and other basic election security measures like Voter ID.”

Still, the stakes are far higher in the midterms, which will determine whether Republicans continue to control both houses of Congress.

Courts halted Trump's first attempt to reshape election rules via executive order last year. The president backed a bill in Congress to make even more sweeping changes but it stalled in the Senate because of opposition from Democrats and some Republicans.

Then Trump tried to limit mail voting by executive order, but the courts again blocked it, saying the changes couldn't happen before the midterms. That case is before the Supreme Court.

Every election, the two major parties mobilize massive operations of attorneys, staffers and volunteers to monitor polling places and ballot counting. The Republican National Committee said it's already recruited a record number of poll watchers.

"The RNC has spent this entire cycle preparing not just to defy history in November, but to protect it," spokeswoman Ally Triolo said. "We've built the largest election integrity operation in Republican Party history because our mission is simple: secure every legal vote and ensure Americans can trust the outcome of our elections."

Democrats also have expanded their operations, and the Association of State Democratic Committees is adding to that effort with its “battlefield” recruitment project. That also will include a network to share information about online threats and manipulation, said Jane Kleeb, the chair of the group and of the Nebraska Democratic Party.

"If they're saying they're going to put armed people outside polling places, we should put friendly people outside polling locations to film them," Kleeb said in an interview. "There's a whole new battlefield we have now."

Kleeb was referring to widespread fears among Democrats that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers will be deployed to the polls, something that multiple administration officials for months have denied will happen.

NEWS BRIEFING

Russian oligarch funds portion of Trump Jr.'s wedding celebrations

FROM NEWS SERVICES

NEW YORK — Donald Trump Jr.'s new wife, Bettina, is confirming that her May wedding weekend celebration was partially funded by a man with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a post on her Instagram page Monday morning signed by the couple, Bettina Trump wrote that the man, Umar Kremlev, was a “dear friend,” who “very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us AFTER our wedding.”

ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative website, reported earlier Monday that the wedding between Trump Jr. and socialite Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas was heavily funded by Kremlev, a Russian oligarch who heads the International Boxing Association. ProPublica reported that Kremlev “footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses,” including paying to rent one of two private islands where the three-day party was held and a fireworks show.

In the post, Bettina Trump said she and the president's son were married in a private ceremony “surrounded ONLY by our family.”

"The weekend that followed had actually been planned well in advance as a fun weekend with friends. It was never intended to be our wedding weekend. When our original wedding plans changed, we simply decided to get married before it and arrived at an already planned weekend as newlyweds," it went on.

"It's unfortunate that something so personal and happy can be recast as something political or sinister simply because of who someone is or where they come from. Friendship doesn't require a political motive. Generosity doesn't automatically come with an agenda.

And sometimes a wedding gift is simply a wedding gift."

That gift comes as Russia remains at war following its invasion of Ukraine and as President Donald Trump has not been able to broker a promised peace deal.

Brennan subpoenaed: Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify before a Florida grand jury in a Justice Department inquiry into whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against President Donald Trump, and is the target of a separate inquiry into whether Brennan made false statements before Congress, one of his lawyers said Monday.

Ken Wainstein, an attorney for Brennan, disclosed the existence of the subpoena as he argued for a court order requiring the Justice Department to preserve all records from the inquiries. He said those documents would be a “fertile source” of information about the government’s determination to indict Brennan, a Trump critic, and would be needed for the defense to challenge any prosecution of the ex-CIA chief as unconstitutionally vindictive and selective.

In pressing his case to U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, he cited what he said was “judge-shopping” by the Justice Department, directives by Trump to pursue perceived adversaries like Brennan and the replacement or resignations of prosecutors said to have raised internal doubts or concerns.

The subpoena was delivered Thursday – the same day that Joe diGenova, the prosecutor who had been leading what is known as the “grand conspiracy” investigation – abruptly resigned amid what a person familiar with the matter has described as frustration from the Justice Department and White

House over the management of the probe.

Russia-Ukraine war: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Ukraine is ready to halt its strikes on Russian territory if allies can secure a genuine Russian commitment not to hit Ukraine's critical infrastructure. His comments came after President Donald Trump claimed in a social media post that Russia and Ukraine had agreed "not to hit" each other's energy infrastructure, but Trump did not offer further details on the purported agreement.

Russia did not immediately comment on Trump's claim. Previous efforts to broker even a partial ceasefire have repeatedly fallen apart.

Word of the agreement comes a day after Trump called on Zelenskyy to stop targeting Russian oil infrastructure used to produce and distribute diesel, claiming the attacks are causing a global shortage.

New green card policy:

Democratic-led states and cities filed lawsuits Monday challenging a federal rule set to begin Friday that they say gives President Donald Trump's administration broad discretion to deny green cards to immigrants who rely on public assistance for food, healthcare, housing and other basic needs.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is leading a coalition of 21 other states in one of the suits, said the rule would force needy immigrant families to choose between seeking assistance and seeking legal status in the country. California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico and Wisconsin are among the states involved in the legal challenge.

"This rule preys on that fear and counts on families forfeiting the food assistance, healthcare coverage, and other public benefits to which they are legally entitled," she said Monday at a news conference in City Hall alongside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and immigrant advocates.

Mamdani filed a separate suit with leaders of other U.S. cities, including Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle. He said the rule would have a “chilling effect” not just on immigrants seeking legal status but other residents of the nation’s largest city.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which is named in the lawsuits, dismissed the dire warnings.

Mississippi hanging death: A man charged with murder in the hanging death of a Black woman in Mississippi pleaded not guilty Monday in his first court appearance.

The body of Tasia Fortune, 29, was found hanging from a tree behind an abandoned home in Jackson, the state capital, on Aug. 3.

On Friday, police arrested 51-year-old Jarques Ratliff on a murder charge after the state medical examiner deemed her death a homicide. Ratliff is also Black.

During Monday's brief hearing in Municipal Court, a judge denied bond for Ratliff, who told the court he's not guilty. Ratliff's attorney at the hearing left without speaking to reporters.

Pope Leo turns 71: Pope Leo XIV celebrated his 71st birthday Monday, but it was Vatican staff who got the gift.

The Vatican published a papal decree repealing 2021 salary cuts that Pope Francis had imposed on many Vatican employees as part of the Holy See's COVID-19 cost-saving measures.

In another decree published Monday, Leo canceled Francis' plans to move some of the Vatican's secret archives and library holdings out of the city state and onto the grounds of a pontifical university across town. Francis had decided on the move because the material was outgrowing its storage spaces, which include a vast underground bunker.

Leo visited the Vatican Apostolic Library on Monday, and noted it was particularly fitting to be celebrating his birthday with its staff since his mother was a librarian.

The never-ending celebration of writer Nelson Algren

Rick Kogan

The writer Nelson Algren used to drink in the apartment where I grew up, joining other writers and pals of my parents in regular gatherings, filling the living room with conversations, cigarette and cigar smoke and the clinking of ice against cocktail glasses.

I certainly did not know it then but I have since come to know that when Algren drank he did not drink with the desperate and dangerous enthusiasm as did many of the great writers we associate with booze. He was a great writer too, though his output was not as substantial as it might have been.

So do not assume that an upcoming three-day event taking place at three notable Chicago taverns has anything to do with Algren's fondness for alcohol. Rather, the venues represent his affection for saloons and the people in them. He was of a time when taverns were essential parts of most any neighborhood, offering comfort from life's storms. As he wrote, "Between (streetcar) stops stretch the streets where the shadow of the tavern and the shadow of the church form a dark and double-walled dead end."

Algren has been gone from Chicago since leaving in 1975 and gone from life since dying in 1981 from a heart attack in Sag Harbor on Long Island. But he remains vibrantly alive in his own books, a pair of movies, a museum, books written about him and various events.

I asked a former Tribune colleague, journalist Mary Wisniewski, about Algren's relationship with booze. She is the author of the terrific 2016 biography

"Algren: A Life" and she told me, "Few of Algren's friends thought that he was an alcoholic, though he did sometimes drink too much. There was more of a culture of drinking among writers and artists in the mid-20th century than there is now. Some of his attraction to bars was just loneliness — he wanted to be out with other people, where things were happening. It was more fun to be drinking in a Chicago tavern with friends than alone with his typewriter, especially as his work became harder to sell."

Now that that's settled, let me steer you to the upcoming weekend of tavern hopping in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the publication of Algren's masterpiece, "Chicago: City on the Make."

This is the creation of two of the most ardent and knowledgeable fans of

'Woman Unknown' wins Venice prize

FROM NEWS SERVICES

“Woman Unknown,” a drama about Denmark in the aftermath of the Nazi occupation directed by May el-Toukhy, won the prestigious Golden Lion at the 83rd Venice film festival on Saturday.

The Maggie Gyllenhaalled jury announced the winners, which included a best actor prize for John Malkovich for his performance in the dark CIA comedy “Wild Horse Nine.”

Malkovich was not in attendance at the ceremony, but he sent a video message, explaining that he is shooting in Montreal.

"I am humbled to be chosen for this award, which has been given to so many wonderful actors," Malkovich said.

Aside from Malkovich's win, the starrier Hollywood films were shut out of the awards.

El-Toukhy, who was the only woman to have solely directed a film in the main competition this year, is the eighth woman to have won the festival's top prize.

"To me personally, 'Woman Unknown' is about the female body as a battleground," el-Toukhy said. "At the same time the film tells the tale of women who are unseen, invisible and voiceless."

She thanked Gyllenhaal for using her voice to shine a light on unequal opportunities for women.

The film's lead, Mathilde Arcel, won the festival's best actress prize and was visibly emotional as she accepted the award. "This is my first lead role in a movie and my first time at a film festival," she said. "I'm extremely honored."

South Korean auteur Lee Chang-dong's portrait of class and labor, "Possible Love," won the Silver Lion grand jury prize. "Possible Love" is Lee's first film in eight years, following his acclaimed "Burning."

“NAZA,” a harrowing documentary about military strategies employed in the war in Gaza from Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, was awarded a special jury prize.

The jury gave the Silver Lion for directing to Ilya Krzhanovsky for his film "Dau," a project about the Soviet physicists who built the atomic bomb that has taken over 20 years to make.

French director Stéphane Brize's won the screen-play prize for his corporate drama "A Good Little Soldier." Malou Khebizi was given the Marcello Mastroianni award for emerging actor for her role in Cédric Kahn's "A Place

to Heal," which is set in an adolescent psychiatric ward in a public hospital.

'Practical Magic 2' breaks 'Spider-Man' spell: "Practical Magic 2" conjured a box-office victory this weekend, opening atop the North American charts decades after its predecessor grew from a modest theatrical performer into a cult favorite.

The Warner Bros. sequel starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman earned an estimated \$30 million, according to estimates Sunday. The film knocked “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” out of the top spot after it led the domestic box office for six consecutive weekends. It slipped to second with \$8.4 million.

"Practical Magic 2" added about \$16 million overseas for a worldwide opening of about \$46 million.

Sept. 15 birthdays: Director Oliver Stone is 80. Actor Tommy Lee Jones is 80. Musician Kelly Keagy is 74. Actor Barry Shabaka Henley is 72. Drummer Mitch Dorge is 66. DJ Kay Gee is 57. Actor Josh Charles is 55. Actor Tom Hardy is 49. Actor Marisa Ramirez is 49. Guitarist Zach Filkins is 48. Actor Kate Mansi is 39.

Friend out of drug rehabilitation continues to blame, hurt others

R. Eric Thomas ASKING ERIC

Dear Eric: My friend, "Jac" had a very public "melt-down" and was ordered to inpatient rehabilitation for his 20-year drug addiction.

One year after his treatment, he has not changed and continues to hurt others and blame others for his many shortcomings. This is called being a "dry drunk," when a sober person still behaves like someone in active addiction.

My friend thinks everyone should be very proud of him for “getting clean,” but he is still the same person he has always been.

How can his friends tell Jac that he needs to make major changes before we will “re-friend” him? He is working a 12-step program.

— Patiently Waiting for Steps 8 and 9

Dear Patiently: After 20 years of active addiction, it may take more than a year for Jac to put his life back together or to look at his behavior and his circumstances with true clarity.

Sobriety is a journey that happens one day at a time, and it seems that he's still working through some of the old behaviors that have caused him and others pain in the past.

It's fine for you to set a boundary with Jac by telling him that you are proud of him for getting clean, but there are still issues between you that you need to work out before you can fully come back into his life.

But it's not your or your other friends' responsibility to hold a friend-tervention of sorts. Jac needs to work on these challenges and shortcomings with his

sponsor.

He may not understand the boundary that you're setting at first. You can convey your pride and support him as you're able, while also keeping the distance that you need until he's able to make amends.

Dear Eric: When I was a younger woman, I was in an abusive relationship. Out of it came one son, who is now over 50.

He is abusive, also. In his younger days, while still living at home, he attempted to hit me. Now that he is grown up, he says abusive things to me on our phone calls. The last time he expressed this behavior, I asked him not to call me.

You will learn that Algren lived for some time

He annoys me. I don't miss the phone calls. However, I do wish him well. Did I do the right thing? Please advise.

No Calls

A boundary like the one you put in place can often help to preserve the relationship, at a healthy distance. He now has the responsibility to address his abusive tendencies and then to make amends to you, should you be open to it.

Dear No Calls: I'm sorry you experienced abusive mistreatment from your son and his father. It can be so hard to remove oneself from these situations, especially because abusers don't respect boundaries.

That process would be harder, if not impossible, if you still had to put up with abusive phone calls from him. You can wish him well from afar while preserving your peace.

It was right of you to ask your son not to call you. Through his actions, he was showing an unwillingness or an inability to treat you with respect.

Dear Eric: I can identify with the letter writer who is unhappy after 40 years of marriage (“On the Cusp”).

I have been married 62 years and though I truly love my spouse, retirement has brought out some negatives that were easier to overlook when we were both out of the house.

We have found that joining groups with different activities, volunteering and even working part-time has helped us better prioritize our time and leaves less time for negativity.

We have more to talk about at the end of the day instead of focusing on each other and what makes us unhappy.

The friendships we have developed over the years would truly be a huge loss if we were to separate, and if On The Cusp finds some outside interests to involve both of them, they can keep this marriage going through the rough patch.

There are some who plan to partake in all three days, others who will be dropping in for one night only. A few plan to extend the Algren celebrations next Saturday by driving to the Nelson Algren Museum of Miller Beach in Indiana to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 50th anniversary edition of “City” (an edition annotated by teacher David Schmittgens and Savage) with museum board members Dick Bales and

just to the west at 1523 W. Wabansia Ave. That building where he once wooed French writer and feminist Simone de Beauvoir is no longer there, razed long ago to make way for the northbound lanes of the Kennedy Expressway.

One other note on the original letter. A few people suggested that if the letter writer's husband's behavior has changed dramatically, the cause may be more complex than simply retirement. It may be worth getting a medical evaluation to rule out something more serious.

Dear Been There: Thank you for this great perspective. Marriages can be completely different in retirement, just as they're completely different when raising children, or caregiving, or in many other phases of life.

Algren. They are writers and friends. Both are smart and lively. Paul Durica is director of exhibitions at the Chicago History Museum and operates tours and events as the creator of Pocket Guide to Hell. Bill Savage is a professor at Northwestern University and teaches courses on Chicago history, literature and culture, with an emphasis on Algren.

"I think we came up with this idea over beers at Miller's Pub," Durica said. "We both believe that there is a continued relevance to the book. And this event is yet another way to make sure Algren is remembered."

At each stop Durica and Savage (and others) will read selections from “City” as well as provide historical and biographical

information.

"One main point of comparison with ‘City’ is (Carl) Sandburg’s poem ‘Chicago,” Savage said. "Both are dated, yes, and we are no longer ‘hog’ butcher for the world’ but Sandburg and Algren captured elements that still exist. The city of ‘the hustler and the square’ is what we remain and Nelson’s language remains so powerful."

Savage also will bring the Holiday magazine in which portions of “City” first appeared and other items from his vast Algren collection.

There will be music and other surprises. Tickets are, quite reasonably, \$5 to \$20. Cash bar.

The event begins at 7 p.m. Friday at Bernice's Tavern, a venerable neighborhood tavern with deep roots at 3238 S. Halsted St. As a boy, Algren lived on the South Side and idolized the White Sox. He used the team's Black Sox scandal of 1919 to make some vivid observations on corruption in "City."

At 1 p.m. Saturday, it moves to the Old Town Ale

House, 209 W. North Ave. A place that the late Roger Ebert called “the best bar in the world that I know about,” and where Algren frequently drank, it is filled with the muscular paintings of longtime fixture, writer and storyteller Bruce Elliott. His Algren portrait is one of the biggest paintings on the walls.

The final stop comes at 5 p.m. Sunday at the Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia Ave. This is the largest of the places. It even has a stage and so it will be the busiest, with more than a few readers, including journalist Lester Munson, beer historian Liz Garibay, teacher and one of the Hideout's former owners Tim Tuten, poet Gregorio Gomez Aguayo, writer Dmitry Samarov, and radio host Mario Smith. A limited edition poster by Ethan D'Ercole will be for sale.

With the advent of TV in the 1950s, nervous studios began to shy away from costly historical epics, but there were exceptions – none more enjoyable than

1952's jocular The Crimson Pirate, with Lancaster as the most agile of scalawags, often boldly bare-chested and always flashing a dazzling smile as he soars from mast to mast. In one unforgettable scene, he drops down long enough to plant a kiss on a jaded lass who has just declared, "If only there was something to break up the monotony of this voyage." Never a dull moment in the life of a swashbuckler. The mood turns darker with Fritz Lang's Moonfleet (1955), starring Stewart Granger. These films share the genre's love of action and romance, but each brings a very different style to the adventure.

Q: Can you tell me what has happened to veteran NBC journalist Peter Alexander? It has been weeks since I have seen him on any of the news broadcasts. A: Some time back, NBC News and MSNBC split as part of larger corporate changes, and that meant news people also split up.

Alexander left NBC after 22 years to become an anchor at the former MSNBC, now known as MS NOW (which stands for My Source for News, Opinion and the World).

His duties there include hosting “State of Play with Peter Alexander” weekdays at 11 a.m. Eastern time.

Q: I enjoyed the first season of "Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent" on The CW. Will Season 2 be available on The CW, and if so, when? A: The second season of the Canadian addition to the "Law & Order" universe begins Oct. 5 on The CW.

According to the network, the series features "Toronto's brightest detective duo, Detective Sergeants Henry Graff (Aden Young) and Frankie Bateman (Kathleen Munroe), who see clues others may have missed and always solve even the toughest of cases using their own unique set of investigative skills."

It's a reworking of the original U.S. “Criminal Intent” (2001-2011) which had several different casts, most memorably with Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe. There are also French and Russian versions.

Q: Back in the early 1960s, there used to be a half-hour series called "One Step Beyond," hosted by John Newland. It was like "The Twilight Zone"

but more about the para-normal, supernatural or unexplained phenomena than science fiction. Why isn't this series shown on TV channels such as MeTV?

A: First known as “Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond,” then simply as “One Step Beyond” in syndication, this collection of eerie tales first aired on ABC from 1959 to 1961.

It won praise not only for its stories but also for the hosting by Newland (who directed the show as well), with one critic saying, “You could tell that the guy liked giving you the creeps.”

While you did not see it on MeTV, it is still available for viewing, including on Tubi, Plex and YouTube. There are also DVD collections.

Q: I have been looking for a movie from the '60s for a very long time because I only have a few details. It was about a man who had a beef with a department store and made a deal with the devil to have it completely cleaned out of goods before Christmas so they would have

nothing to sell. The devil upheld his end of the deal by having other people who had made deals come in and move everything out. The man changed his mind, deciding not to spoil everyone's holiday and had the devil move everything back.

A: Although some details are different, we figured out that you remembered “Poor Devil,” a TV movie from 1973 starring Sammy Davis Jr.; it was the pilot for a TV series, but the series did not happen.

According to Lee Goldberg's book "Unsold Television Pilots," Davis played "an inept disciple of the devil (Christopher Lee) who constantly fails to win over souls."

The movie's cast also included Jack Klugman and Adam West. And you can still see it, though not in great form, on YouTube.

2026 MARSHALL RAMSEY DISTR, BY ANDRENS MCMEL FOR UFS

Horoscopes

If September 15 is your birthday: After what may have been a somewhat harrowing 2026 so far, the remainder of the year looks to be both easier and more profitable. There's a lot of productive thinking that can happen late this month and into October. Note down valuable insights for the future.

Aries (March 21-April 19): While Universal stars are on the upswing today, an impulse financial move is never recommended, especially if other people are currently involved. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Love-bombing is a technique to be aware of if you're single and dating. It can precipitate intimacy and connection quickly, not allowing sufficient time to observe whether someone is a good person.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): You might have to push hard to get something up a steep metaphorical incline, then energies could suddenly reach critical mass and flow as rapidly as the downward side of a roller coaster.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Getting a project going could take some effort, but at some point, your muse should awaken and make your creativity flow almost effortlessly.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The energies of control and escape from control could show up in some form in your living space. The best resolution could be to find a balance between helpful unity and freedom for individual expression. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If a communiqué makes sense and flows naturally it could be fine, if you get a sudden impulse to push the envelope, you could come across as too reactive. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If they want money as proof of belief, don't get sucked in, that's a huge red flag. Belief without facts isn't a way to choose investments or a major purchase. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Spontaneity can be a lot of fun but not every impulse brings a positive outcome. Weigh it before you do it, even under today's relatively benevolent stars. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tune in to subconscious urges before they push you into choices and actions that may not align with long-term objectives.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Friends don't let friends make major blunders. Help a friend avoid a problem or listen seriously to advice if you're about to take a leap.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be intentional, not sudden or reactive, in the workplace regardless of recent pressures. Long-term goals need to trump momentary urges, that's how you build a disciplined life.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Something surprising could grab your attention but don't jump in until you've done some homework.

East-West vulnerable, South deals

Grand Avenue By Mike Thompson

A normal auction led to a terrible contract. The hands do not fit well and the diamond lead prevents any chance to develop and use the club suit. There are seven top tricks and the only chance for two more is in the spade suit. There is no chance if West holds the king. A singleton or doubleton king with West will give East a stopper. Three or more to the

The bidding:

South	West	North	East
2NT	Pass	3♣	Pass
3♥	Pass	3NT	All pass

Opening lead: Queen of ♦

king and West can just hold up his king until the third round of the suit. East must have a singleton or doubleton king. Hoping for that, South should lead the eight (or nine)

of spades from dummy at trick two. Should the king appear from East, South takes his ace and leads back toward dummy, ducking if West plays the 10 or jack. A later finesse will give him three spade tricks.

If East plays low on the eight of spades, so should South. West will win with the 10, but the ace of spades next will drop the king from East and leave a finesse position against the jack. Should East have started with the king-jack or king-10 doubleton, he does best to play the king on the first round, giving declarer a difficult guess as to the winning play. South can get it right, of course, but that would be the best defense. Kudos to declarer for having the imagination to see that the contract was not hopeless.

Brad Biggs ON THE BEARS

Conventional thinking is that the Bears won't win a lot of ball-games when they allow 37 points.

But you have to account for the arrival of coach Ben Johnson and his offense and note that, after Sunday's season-opening 59-37 victory at Carolina, they're now 2-1 the last three times the opponent has scored 37 or more.

There was the 47-42 victory at Cincinnati in Week 9 last season and — eight weeks later — a 42-38 loss at San Francisco. In the regular season, the franchise is 4-103 when the opponent scores 37 or more, so everyone understands, still in the early stages of a new regime, that type of defensive effort won't leave them on the winning side very often.

The Bears didn't have to worry about rust coming into a new season. They were more concerned about melting.

The temperature before kickoff Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., was 89 degrees with 48% humidity, resulting in a “feels like” temperature of 94.

After a 59-37 season-opening win that lasted 3 hours, 32 minutes on a sweltering North Carolina afternoon, Bears coach Ben Johnson was proud of how his team handled it all.

“Tough conditions, weather of course played a factor on both sides,” he told reporters during a virtual news conference Monday. “Despite a long, tough training camp, it’s hard not to allow heat like that to fatigue you to a degree, so we had to fight through that.”

"I thought it was really good for us. We just want to find a way to get to the plane being 1-0, and we found

Vikings at Bears Noon Sunday, Fox-32

a way to get that done. Week 1 in the NFL is always interesting across the league."

Johnson had no news on the injury front but will monitor it as the Bears prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings in the home opener Sunday at Soldier Field.

"We came away in pretty good shape," he said.

Here are three things we learned from the Bears on Monday.

1. BEN JOHNSON ISN'T RINGING THE ALARM YET ABOUT THE SECONDARY.

GM Getz foresees changes to the player-evaluation process

By LaMond Pope CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CLEVELAND — Chris Getz noticed how Monday's flight to Cleveland differed from trips in recent years.

“Needless to say, we’ve come a long way,” the White Sox general manager said Monday afternoon at Progressive Field. “It’s been an exciting year for a lot of different reasons. What an opportunity for these guys to go out there and compete with the Guardians and

see where it goes from there."

The Sox entered Monday's crucial series in first place in the American League Central, a half-game ahead of the Guardians. But they've been going through a tough stretch, losing five of six and 10 of 14 coming into the series.

"As a whole, it's been a team that's been so resilient," Getz said. "Just when you think that perhaps they're going to be down and it's going to take a while to get out of it, they always bounce back.

"And I know we're kind of going through it a little bit right now and the stakes are high. But you look at the reasons why we wouldn't come out of it, and they're minimal, they really are. Obviously there's the pressure component of what's at stake. You're this late in

second-highest total of his career, along with three touchdown passes.

That was particularly true of the Bears' top two outside cornerbacks.

Tyrique Stevenson took the blame for two Jalen Coker touchdowns that happened on his watch: a 51-yard bomb up the left sideline and an 8-yard score in which Coker shed Stevenson's tackle after he took a bad angle.

"The double move, definitely we knew it was coming — I knew it was coming — so I've got to do a better job with my technique and making sure that I'm able to get in position to play the ball," Stevenson said.

The 158.3 passer rating Stevenson allowed was only a hair higher than fellow corner Jaylon Johnson (156.3), who allowed the second-most passing yards (131) in the league in Week 1, trailing only Detroit Lions cornerback D.J. Reed (141), according to NFL Pro's Next Gen Stats.

On the positive side, Johnson forced Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to fumble in the fourth quarter.

“His punchout on No. 4, I mean, that was amazing,” defensive tackle Kentavius Street said. “He’s in man coverage, he’s guarding a crosser, which is tough.”

Ben Johnson said he talked to both cornerbacks in the locker room after the game.

“They were excited that the team won the game, but both of them felt like they could play better than they did and the tape appeared that way to me,” he said. “They both had strong training camps, so (we) really wanted to hit the ground running and I don’t think we did in terms of what we were expecting in that game.”

The coach believes both are resilient.

“They know they’re talented and this team needs them, so they’ll bounce back, no problem,” he said.

2. ROOKIES DILLON THIENEMAN AND MALIK MUHAMMAD GRADED WELL.

Ben Johnson gave high marks to Thieneman, who started at strong safety, and Muhammad, who started at nickel corner.

Thieneman, the No. 25 pick in the first round, had eight tackles on defense, two more on special teams, a pass breakup and a quarterback hit in the fourth quarter that threw off the timing on Young's deep ball to McMillan.

"Not really sure what I thought it would be, but it's definitely a good NFL debut," said Thieneman, who received a game ball.

Muhammad, a fourth-round selection, had a second-quarter interception that killed a late drive by the Panthers and also broke up two passes.

“Man, I felt great after that interception, I ain’t going to lie,” Muhammad said.

Johnson called Thieneman's performance "a great start to his career."

"He was all over the field," Johnson said. "He's one of those guys throughout camp that he would make mistakes but rarely makes the same mistake twice. He's done a great job in the open field making sure he's getting tackles."

Johnson thought Thieneman had forced McMillan's fumble, but the rookie wrapped the receiver's legs, setting him up for the turnover.

"It turned out it was Jaylon (who) came in with the top-down punchout there," he said. "(Thieneman) was all over the place."

Johnson said Muhammad was “fearless” and sticky in coverage, and he also singled out free safety Cam Lewis.

Lewis appeared to have lost a training camp battle with Xavier

Woods to replace the injured Coby Bryant, but Woods was inactive because of a groin injury.

“Kudos to Cam Lewis,” Johnson said. “He went into the day not even knowing he was going to start for us at safety. We worked out Xavier Woods that morning, and when we decided to make him inactive, Cam became our starter at safety and played really, really well. So I just wanted to throw him a shout-out.”

3. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN WERE QUICKER OUT OF THE GATES.

Bears coaches spent the summer preaching how defensive linemen needed to get off the line of scrimmage quicker and pressure the quarterback.

Fundamentals over scheme.

Take a one-week sample for what it's worth, but their average get-off (0.83 seconds) looked a lot better than last year's league-worst 0.92 seconds.

Still, that's not saying much, and it translated to the seventh-lowest pressure rate (27.9%) in Week 1.

"Our get-offs were inconsistent," said Street, who had one of the Bears' two sacks along with Montez Sweat. "We want it to be perfect up front. We wanted everything to just go off how it did at practice, and sometimes it slowed guys down and sometimes it sped people up.

"We want to be consistently, extremely aggressive, and that's something we didn't do. We were maybe batting .400 and it has to be higher, like, ideally we'd like it to be .800, .900. But it just didn't happen."

BIGGS

of 37 passes for 361 yards and three touchdowns and was shifty enough in the pocket to extend some plays that went for big gains.

The Panthers ran for 125 yards, but they mostly had to ditch the ground effort by the fourth quarter when they were chasing and it was clear their defense wasn't going to put up much of a fight.

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson got a forced fumble when he dislodged the ball from Tetairoa McMillan on the first play of the fourth quarter. It was good defense as rookie safety Dylan Thieneman was coming downhill to make the tackle. Linebacker Devin Bush recovered the fumble.

"The takeaways are a huge deal for us," Ben Johnson said. "We talked about the banana ball that (punter) Tory (Taylor) was hitting all throughout camp. For them to muff that punt and us to capitalize on that, that was huge for momentum swing. And got a couple more there on defense, which were big plays for us."

But like the Bears, the Panthers had a handful of big plays, including a 51-yard touchdown pass to Coker when he got behind cornerback Tyrique Stevenson. It wasn't a true double move where Stevenson got caught with his eyes in the backfield. It was a straight stem, and then Coker faded out and Stevenson failed to stay on top of the route. He couldn't catch up from there.

The concern coming into the season that the Bears lack a difference maker on defense showed up. That's true in the front seven and the secondary. The defense wasn't very sound and didn't make a lot of plays — in fairness, the Bears made more than the Panthers — and the Bears gave up a lot of big gains.

Simple defensive goals are to hit the quarterback and not give up explosive plays. The Bears had two sacks — one each for Montez Sweat and Kentavius Street — and five QB hits by Sweat, Street, Thieneman, Bush and Grady Jarrett. Carolina had nine plays that went for 15 yards or more.

When that happens, the Bears are going to give up a bunch of points and will have to score a bunch to have a chance. Young's 361 yards were the fifth-most the Bears have allowed since 2020. Bengals backup Joe Flacco hit them for 470 last season.

The defense is lucky it got saved by the Bears offense, but that just might be how this team goes this season.

The benefit for defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is he gets to present corrections to the group coming off a win. That always makes the process easier.

"Honestly, just letting (the offense) down," Jaylon Johnson said of his reaction. "We let them back in the game and that was with explosive passes. We've got to find ways to bury them and put that identity out there."

The Bears were mixing and matching in the secondary. Veteran addition Xavier Woods was positioned to start at safety as the replacement for free-agent signee Coby Bryant. But a groin injury in practice last week limited Woods, and he was inactive.

So the Bears moved Cam Lewis, who presumably was going to get the bulk of the action at nickel cornerback — or at least a share of it — to safety. That pushed fourth-round draft pick Muhammad into action at nickel.

"I wouldn't say it's challenging," Ben Johnson said of the moving parts. "I think guys have prepared for that. Guys have come in and learned their positions. It was seamless for us.

"There are a lot of things we have to clean up. We have to figure out ways to do our part."

Asked specifically about the defense, Johnson went big picture.

“We talked about, with the team, find a way to get to the plane with a win,” he said. “And we did that. We accomplished that. Now we’re in a race to improve in all three phases and collectively as a team. That’s what we’ve got to do.

"We'll take a look at the tape, what can we get better at. It only gets harder from here on out. And yet I told those guys, you'd like to think in a long season like this, we're playing our worst football early on and we continue to get better and better and better. And so that's really the message right there. All three phases, we've all got to get better, each and every week.

"It's never linear. There's some dips along the way, and yet as long as we're doing whatever we need to do to try to find a way at the end of the game to get the victory."

TWO PASS BREAKUPS, AN INTERCEPTION AND TIGHT COVERAGE ON MCMILLAN ON A FOURTH-DOWN INCOMPLETION ADDED UP TO A PRETTY GOOD DEBUT FOR MUHAMMAD.

The fourth-round pick had a lot thrown at him during the offseason and training camp, when he was tasked with learning the defense as both an outside cornerback and in the slot. Sometimes coaches want a player to master one position before they throw him in another spot. The Bears staff firmly believes in cross-training its players, even the rookies. It helps them learn the scheme as a whole and prepares them in the event they're needed in multiple spots.

Muhammad undercut Young's throw to Coker for his first NFL interception. He credited secondary coach Al Harris for helping him understand how the Panthers wanted to attack the defensive backs.

"We knew coming into this week that they like to run a lot of overs, digs, a lot of in-breaking routes," Muhammad said. "The biggest part was just knowing what they like to do. Knowing what coverage you're in and knowing your responsibilities and then just playing ball."

In this instance, Coker was running a deep over route and Muhammad decided to shoot his shot. Why?

"The thing is, (Harris) always gets on my butt about not undercutting stuff," he said. "I just felt, I don't know ... I just felt it. I undercut it, and lo and behold the ball was there."

Why does Harris not want the cornerbacks to undercut routes? I don't want to speak for the coach, but he's probably teaching them to play the upfield shoulder so they can have tight coverage and be in position to make the tackle. Plus, undercut a route and miss and, well, it's time to strike up the band. That play can go for a touchdown.

Muhammad didn't miss, and his pick helped the Bears finish plus-two in turnovers.

“It was great to see (Muhammad) really get going,” Ben Johnson said.

On the fourth-down play, Muhammad knew he was a marked man from the snap. McMillan is the best target Young has, and every quarterback — for the time being — will be testing the rookie. It's a rite of passage.

Muhammad had his hands on McMillan and might have been in contact with him after 5 yards. He threw his arms up as if to signal he hadn't been guilty of illegal contact.

“I was low and he had pushed me off a little bit too,” Muhammad said. “I was like, it could be 50-50. He’s a big dude.”

Coaches probably will have some small points for Muhammad to consider on the play, and there will be corrections.

"I am looking forward to the tape because you're not going to play a perfect game," Muhammad said. "The way Al coaches, he is going to find something to coach you up on."

AS EXCITED AS JAHDAE WALKER WAS WHEN HE SCORED ON A 1-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM CALEB WILLIAMS, HE WAS JUST AS ANIMATED — MINUS THE LITTLE SHUFFLE — AFTER A HANDFUL OF BLOCKS HE THREW.

Walker was the primary receiver when the Bears were in 13 personnel with three tight ends, and he has shown a knack for blocking not only in the running game, but also for fellow receivers in the passing game.

"The long one there that Kyle (Monangai) broke free," Ben Johnson said when asked if he had a favorite play from the game. "I see things like Jahdae out in front and he's over here butt-blocking, trying to spring him loose, that's the stuff that gets me excited. When I see the little guys block and I see the O-line getting around the ball and pushing the pile, that's the stuff that gets me going."

Kalif Raymond had some key blocks, and he's about the smallest player on the roster, a testament to what Johnson preached when he first arrived: "No block, no rock."

“You get what you give,” Walker said in summing up his attitude as a blocker.

Maybe Rome Odunze, after being limited throughout practice by a calf injury, had his snap count reduced a little bit. If so, Walker could have been a beneficiary. It's about taking advantage of the opportunities you get, and the undrafted rookie from a year ago is trying to expand his role.

"He practiced his tail off this week," Johnson said. "He was one of our more consistent receivers. I thought he did a heck of a job. To see him get some benefit from it, it's a beautiful thing."

Gibson joins Splitter's staff

By Julia Poe

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A favorite of the Bulls franchise is coming home this season.

Former Bulls big man Taj Gibson on Monday announced his retirement after 17 NBA seasons — and the Bulls announced later in the day that he's returning to Chicago to join new coach Tiago Splitter's staff as an assistant coach.

It's a long-anticipated move into coaching for Gibson, who cemented a reputation throughout his lengthy NBA tenure as a cerebral player who commanded a locker room with integrity.

“Basketball gave me the opportunity to live a dream,” Gibson wrote in a social media post. “As a kid from Brooklyn, NY, I was lucky to get a chance to display my talent on the biggest stage. From Fort Greene Projects to USC, to the Chicago Bulls, and every team and city that came after, I’m grateful for every moment, every teammate, every coach and every person who believed in me.

"I wanted to be the guy my teammates could count on, someone who brought toughness, energy, leadership and heart every time I stepped on the court."

The Bulls drafted Gibson with the 26th pick in 2009. He played nearly eight seasons in Chicago until he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the deadline in 2017.

After starting 70 games as a rookie, Gibson came off the bench for the majority of his next five seasons in Chicago before returning to primarily a starting role for his last two. He was a first-team All-Rookie selection in 2010 and finished in the top 10 three times in Sixth Man of the Year voting, including second in 2014.

Gibson averaged 9.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 562 games (229 starts) for the Bulls.

“(Gibson was) someone that’s a genuine dude,” Derrick Rose said in a video the Bulls released after Gibson announced his retirement. “Someone that I could always ask something about during a game. Someone I was very close to in the locker room. And someone that’s a winner at heart. (Gibson) cared about everyone in this family."

After the 2017 trade, Gibson signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he played for two seasons. He went on to log $3^{1/2}$ seasons with the New York Knicks over two stints and shorter stints with the Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets. He finished his career with the Memphis Grizzlies, appearing in 10 games in 2025-26.

Gibson remained a favorite in Chicago, earning applause from the United Center crowd upon every return with occasional chants for the longtime big man to be subbed into the game. Fans gave Gibson a standing ovation when he entered a game for the Hornets in December 2024.

"It just lets me know Chicago has embraced a kid from Brooklyn," Gibson said after that game. "I don't want to tear up or nothing, but the city's just been great to me. I don't know what else to say. ... I'm just choked up right now just talking about it."

Gibson was one of seven assistant coaches the Bulls announced Monday along with three player development coaches and five video coordinators:

■ Assistants: Blake Ahearn, Jordan Brink (also director of player development), Taj Gibson, Jonah Herscu, Rex Kalamian, Jamelle McMillan and Wes Unseld Jr.

■ Player development: Martin Rancik (senior player development coach), Pete Crawford and LD Williams.

■ Video: Jeremiah Bonsu (head video coordinator), Micah Burno (assistant video coordinator), Jayden Hardaway, Delvon Johnson and Brandon Leftwich.

Ahearn (Grizzlies), Brink (Knicks), Kalamian (Milwaukee Bucks) and McMillan (Pistons) were NBA assistants, while Herscu was coach of the Rip City Remix, the G League affiliate of the Portland Trail Blazers, where Splitter previously coached.

Unseld, Rancik, Crawford, Williams, Bonsu and Burno return from the previous Bulls coaching staff.

SOCCER ROUNDUP

Fire fall to Revolution on goal, assist by Turgeman

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dor Turgeman had a first-half goal and a second-half assist, Peyton Miller scored in his 50th MLS start and the New England Revolution beat the Fire 2-1 on Sunday at Soldier Field.

The Revolution (13-8-4) moved into sole possession of third place in the Eastern Conference with 43 points, 11 behind first-place Nashville.

The Fire (11-7-6) were coming off a 1-1 draw against Inter Miami in front of a club-record 63,094 fans.

Turgeman opened the scoring in the 39th minute. He won a one-on-one race with Fire defender Sam Rogers for a long ball and sent a shot past diving goalkeeper Chris Brady.

Miller made it a 2-0 lead in the 47th when he was left wide open at the far post to tap in a pass across the goal by Turgeman.

Maren Haile-Selassie guided in a shot into the far corner from the top of the 18-yard box in the 62nd to pull the Fire within 2-1.

Revolution coach Marko Mitrović returned to Chicago to face his former club after serving as an assistant coach with the Fire from 2016-19.

NWSL: STARS 1, THORNS 1

Taylor Wood scored her first NWSL goal on a header in the second minute of second-half stoppage time, salvaging a draw for the visiting Stars after another difficult night defensively.

Portland took a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute when midfielder Jessie Fleming sent a ball into the box that grazed off Stars defender Maitane and sailed over goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher's shoulder for an own goal.

That tied the NWSL record for most goals allowed in a single season at 54, a mark the Stars set last season. They still have six matches remaining.

Naeher kept the Thorns (11-7-6) out of the net for the remainder of the match after the Stars (5-17-2) had allowed a combined 12 goals in their previous two matches, a 6-0 loss to the North Carolina Courage and a 6-1 loss to the Denver Summit.

the season, so you've played so many games. But it's a group that continues to really work and compete and keep a very positive vibe amongst each other."

Getz continued: “Just kind of assessing the last week or so, it’s been a little disconnected in regard to whether it be that you’re hitting well, but you’re not pitching well. Pitching well and not hitting well. And at this point, we hope that we can realign it and get back to what we’ve been doing.”

In a wide-ranging session with reporters, Getz also addressed what's ahead for the amateur scouting position following director Mike Shirley's resignation on Saturday.

"Not just the amateur scouting front, but just the player-evaluation process, we're looking at a lot of different ways," Getz said. "We've been doing that for a while. Not just a clear restructure, just a different way of conducting business on that front. In the meantime, we're not going with an interim. We're going to map out where we see the future is on the scouting front in all areas.

“And then once that’s mapped out, we’ll figure out what the needs are for the organization and if that means that you’re going outside of the organization, so be it. But it starts with having a strong understanding of what we want this to look like and function.”

The Athletic reported on Saturday evening that Shirley had been under investigation for allegedly making racist and sexist comments about and in front of coworkers. The Sox declined comment on personnel matters.

Asked if the change at the director's role influenced the reassessment of the player-evaluation process, Getz said: "We've been looking at ways to improve the scouting process in all areas for some time now. We're going to stay at that. In regard to leadership, we need to figure out what we want out of each of these positions. And what truly are we working toward."

That process is ongoing. More immediately, the club is hoping to take steps to rebound during this playoff push.

Getz said keys included, “The early innings, minimizing runs on the board from their end and getting early leads and holding those leads as well.”

He pointed to base running and defense, and noted that the team's bullpen was in a good spot entering Monday.

"We've got different weapons, different ways to attack the Guardians with the arms that we have," Getz said. "And then offensively, not just relying on the big inning. Trying to find ways to manufacture runs. And that starts with having quality at-bats. And hopefully we've got the depth of our lineup that can provide those quality at-bats to make it hard on the starter or any pitcher that's in there. So that's what we're hoping for, that's what we're looking for.

"We're clearly capable of doing it. It would be great if now is the time."

Getz said “a high level of fearlessness” has carried the Sox to this point of the season.

“I don’t want to say they’re immune from feeling the pressure,” Getz said. “It’s just that they’ve responded well with pressure and they think that they can beat anyone.

“Obviously when you’re in this part of the schedule and we have what we have at stake, maybe it’s a little bit different of a feeling. But it’s our job to support these guys and to remind them what got us here and get them back to playing with the freedom that we know they’re capable of playing with.”

INTERLEAGUE

■ Playoff races: Clinching season has begun, with the Rays and Brewers becoming the first teams to wrap up spots in the postseason. Here's a quick rundown of baseball's remaining unresolved races. In the American League, the Yankees and Red Sox are almost certain to join The Rays in the playoffs out of the AL East. The Rays had a comfortable four-game lead in the division over the Yankees entering Monday's games, and they're likely to have the tiebreaker, but that race isn't completely over since the two teams face each other in a four-game series in the final week of the regular season. The Red Sox can plan on being the second wild card. That leaves three spots up for grabs: the AL Central title, the AL West title and the third wild card. The White Sox led the Guardians by a half-game for the AL Central, with the Guardians holding a one-game lead over the Blue Jays for the final wild card. The Astros led the Rangers by one game for the AL West, and the Rangers were also two behind the Guardians for the last wild card. Everyone else is at least four behind the Guardians. There's also a tight race brewing between the AL Central and AL West leaders for the second of the AL's two first-round byes. The White Sox led the Astros by $1 \frac{1}{2}$ games for that. In the National League, the Brewers, Braves and Dodgers all have substantial leads in their divisions. The Brewers seem pretty safe for a first-round bye. The Dodgers led the Braves in the race for the other one. The wild-card race is basically four teams fighting for three spots — the Cubs, Phillies, Padres and Diamondbacks.

■ Comeback of the week: Down 6-1, the Giants stormed back with six runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to beat the Cardinals 7-6 on Wednesday. All those runs came with two outs. Bryce Eldridge hit a bases-loaded single to bring home two runs. Then Jonah Cox hit an RBI single and Jung Hoo Lee tied it with a two-run double. Shay Whitcomb's double made it 7-6. After the second out, the Giants had a win probability of 1.1% according to Baseball Savant.

1902: Chicago Cubs infielders Tinker, Evers & Chance turn their first double play together.

MONDAY'S RESULTS

■ Team of the week: The Padres went 6-0 to jump ahead of the D-backs in the playoff race. The Padres had won seven in row through Sunday, four of which were by one run and only one of which was by more than two. Mason Miller has four saves during the streak.

1946: The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 in five innings when the game was called because of gnats. The insects became such a problem for the players, umpires and fans that the game had to be stopped.

1979: Bob Watson of the Red Sox became the first player to hit for the cycle in both leagues as he led Boston to a 10-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. He hit for the cycle with the Houston Astros against San Francisco on June 24, 1977.

1990: Bobby Thigpen pitched one inning and became the first relief pitcher with 50 saves in a season as the Chicago White Sox beat the Red Sox 7-4.

■ Mets: Devin Williams, sidelined with a strained right shoulder since Aug. 8, is scheduled to face hitters Thursday and hopes to return to the Mets' bullpen this weekend. Williams, who signed a three-year, \$51 million deal in December shortly before incumbent closer Edwin Díaz left for the Dodgers as a free agent, is 3-2 with a 4.66 ERA and 16 saves in 19 chances this season. He had a 2.73 ERA in 31 outings from April 26 through July 30 before giving up three runs over two innings in his final two appearances and then going on the IL. — Associated Press ■ Performance of the week: The Phillies' Jesús Luzardo struck out 12 in

1996: The Baltimore Orioles set baseball's season home run record with five against Detroit, including Mark Parent's record breaking shot in the third inning and Brady Anderson's 10th leadoff homer of the year. The homers gave the Orioles 243, three more than the 1961 New York Yankees.

a two-hit shutout of the Braves on Monday. The Phillies won 1-0 thanks to Kyle Schwarber's eighth-inning homer, salvaging a split of a four-game series with the Braves in a game that took 1 hour, 51 minutes. But the Phillies probably needed more to stay in the NL East race. The Braves entered Monday five games up.

Plantz speaks out after being fired by Providence

By Steve Millar

DAILY SOUTHOWN

Tyler Plantz has shared his side of the story after Providence announced Sunday he had been fired as the team's head coach.

Plantz released a statement to Matt Fortuna, who operates The Inside Zone, a college football newsletter.

Plantz said that Providence president John Merkelis asked Plantz to meet with him Saturday morning and then requested that Plantz resign.

“During our meeting for less than an hour, Father Merkelis informed me that other staff members had told him about a few disgruntled colleagues and a few football players’ parents,” Plantz said. “He cited problems with disorganization related to scheduling games for lower-level teams, which was not my responsibility.

"He also said he was not satisfied with how I managed college recruiting this year and structured lower-level practices. Father Merkelis clearly stated these factors were his only concern and then offered me the option to resign."

Plantz, a Providence graduate who played at Notre Dame, said he met with Merkelis again Sunday and refused to resign.

"I informed Father Merke-lis that I would not resign because my decision to move to Providence Catholic from college football was a very personal one and I would never quit on my student athletes or our team," Plantz said.

Plantz said that as of Monday morning he had not received formal notice of Providence's intention to terminate him.

“I am confounded by this decision and how it has been handled,” Plantz said. “I remain proud of my contributions to Providence Catholic Celtics’ success since I was named head coach.”

Plantz took over as the Celtics' head coach in 2022 and went 35-19. He led Providence to a Class 4A runner-up finish in his first season and second place last fall in 5A.

The Celtics beat Carmel 31-7 on Friday night to improve to 4-0 and are set to take on Nazareth (1-3) at 6 p.m. Friday in LaGrange Park.

Offensive coordinator Adam Nissen has been named the Celtics' interim head coach. Nissen joined the Celtics' staff last season after serving as the head coach at St. Laurence from 2019 to 2024. He went 35-28 with the Vikings, leading them to a Class 4A runner-up finish in 2023.

IN BRIEF

Vikes QB Murray's status for next game unclear

NEWS SERVICES

Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray began the week in the NFL concussion protocol, continuing his recovery from an illegal hit to the head that forced him out of his first game with the team in the first quarter.

Murray arrived on Monday at Vikings headquarters “feeling pretty good,” according to coach Kevin O'Connell, but it was far too soon to assess his chance of playing against the Bears on Sunday in Chicago.

“We’ll defer to the medical folks and that protocol for how the week goes,” O’Connell said. “We’ll just take it a day at a time.”

Murray's debut with the Vikings lasted 11 plays. At the end of a third down run that ended well short of the sticks, Murray had the right side of his helmet smacked hard by Packers safety Javon Bullard's lowered shoulder with the quarterback already ducking toward the turf to try to avoid contact. Bullard was penalized for unnecessary roughness.

Murray eventually walked off slowly under his own power, but Carson Wentz took the rest of the afternoon and helped lead the Vikings to a comeback victory by scoring the last 29 points of the game.

Murray had three of his last four seasons with the Cardinals cut short by significant lower-body injuries, a torn ACL in his knee in late 2022 and a mid-foot sprain in 2025.

As for how long the Vikings are willing to wait this week for Murray to exit the concussion protocol before determining whether he can start or if Wentz will, that's not yet clear. Because quarterbacks already wear red non-contact jerseys, Murray could potentially get significant practice repetitions before he's fully cleared.

Murray took part in team meetings and video review of the Packers game on Monday.

“We’ll just see how he’s doing and take it a day at a time,” O’Connell said.

Colleges: Florida State fired athletics director Michael Alford, school president Dr. Richard McCullough announced. Alford had been Florida State's AD since January 2022 after he was hired in the fall of 2020 to be the president of Seminole Boosters, Inc. The dismissal was without cause, McCullough said. It's not clear how much Alford is owed by Florida State on a four-year deal that was announced in August 2024. McCullough, speaking later Monday, said the decision to fire Alford was necessary to compete in a college sports landscape that "is changing incredibly rapidly." McCullough appointed Bruce Warwick, currently senior associate AD, to serve as interim AD.

'NOW IS NOW:' DJOKOVIC DROPS OUT OF TOP 10

George W. Bush was president. The Euro currency had just gone into circulation. Tom Brady was coming off the first of his seven Super Bowl titles. And Ronaldo had just led Brazil to the World Cup trophy. It's been nearly a quarter century since no member of the Big Three — Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic

— appeared in the top 10 of the men's tennis rankings. With the 39-year-old Djokovic — the last member of the trio still competing — dropping from No. 5 to No. 12 when the latest rankings were released on Monday, it's the first time since October 2002 that neither him, Federer nor Nadal appear in the first 10 entries of the list. Federer and Nadal retired in 2022 and 2024, respectively. Federer was 41 when he stopped and Nadal was 38. Djokovic was beaten in the first round of the U.S. Open by Mariano Navone 15 days ago. It was Djokovic's earliest Grand Slam exit in two decades — dating back to the 2006 Australian Open. “I’ve been very proud of all the achievements in the past, but now is now,” Djokovic said after the loss in New York. Djokovic’s 24 major titles are two more than Nadal’s 22 and four more than Federer’s 20.

CLIPPERS BACK DOWN, WON'T FIGHT PENALTIES

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer won't fight the NBA's salary cap circumvention punishment in a reversal of the team's initial defiance and vow to fight against what it called "a heavily biased investigation." In his first public comments since the NBA announced a sweeping punishment against the Clippers this month, Ball-

mer said in a statement posted online Sunday night that the team would comply with the penalties handed down by the league. The league suspended Ballmer for one year, fined the team \$30 million and forced it to forfeit five first-round draft picks. Ballmer, above, said the team has paid the fine. Ballmer apologized to Clippers fans, employees and his fellow owners for the “distraction and distress” caused by the investigation that found the team violated salary cap circumvention rules involving Kawhi Leonard. The league came down hard on the organization after a nearly yearlong investigation led by an outside law firm. The Clippers had said multiple times that they had done nothing wrong and expected to be exonerated. Leonard’s trade to the Raptors, which had been on hold pending the outcome of the investigation, was finalized on Monday.

RED SOX'S TOLLE TOSSSES IMMACULATE INNING

Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle pitched an immaculate inning to open Sunday's game against the Royals. The 23-year-old left-hander threw a called third strike past Nick Loftin, then got Bobby Witt Jr. and Jac Caglianone swinging in the nine-pitch inning. Tolle became the Red Sox's first pitcher to throw an immac-

ulate inning opening a game since Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez at Fenway Park against the Mariners on May 18, 2002. "It was pretty cool" Tolle said after the Red Sox beat the Royals 4-1 to take the series in Boston. Caglianone was the only one to get his bat on a ball, fouling his first pitch to the left side. When Tolle got two strikes on Caglianone, most of the fans rose and cheered loudly. Tolle pumped a fist when the strikeout and inning were complete after looking over at the dugout with a bit of a smile before the last pitch. "I was definitely thinking about it," he said. It was the Red Sox's eighth immaculate inning, the second in the first inning and the sixth in MLB recorded history to open the game. Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax had the first recorded one on June 30, 1962. Tolle went six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and allowed four singles. —AP

Best test incomplete

Zverev's year at Slams clearly tops, but, if healthy, Sinner, Alcaraz still reign

By Brian Mahoney

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Alexander Zverev won two Grand Slam titles and reached another final this year. He was the best player in the biggest events.

He's not ready to call himself the best player in tennis though.

Ben Shelton seemed willing to at least consider it after Zverev beat him 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 on Sunday in the U.S. Open final to add that trophy to the French Open title he won in June.

“You’re one of the very best players in the world, maybe the best player in the world this year,” Shelton told Zverev during the trophy presentation.

This year, of course, was different than last year.

INJURIES TO 'BIG 2'

Carlos Alcaraz won the Australian Open title, but then had to miss the French Open and Wimbledon with a right wrist injury, getting hurt in April and then not playing again until the U.S. Open. Jannik Sinner beat Zverev in the Wimbledon final, but then the top-ranked player in men's tennis couldn't play in New York because of a knee injury.

Sinner and Alcaraz met in the last three Grand Slam finals in 2025.

Zverev took all that into consideration when asked if he considered himself the best player in men's tennis.

“With Jannik Sinner being injured and Carlos Alcaraz coming back from injury after four months, right now, this moment, probably yes. Both of them healthy and both of them at the top of their game, maybe not,” Zverev said.

“But if we say right now with Jannik being injured and Carlos coming back from injury, maybe. I mean, four, five months ago when both of them were healthy, I wasn’t. I was losing to Jannik all the time. So if everyone is healthy, I think Jannik is still ahead. It’s as simple as that.”

Zverev did his job in the majors by beating the players who were there.

He went 25-2 in the four biggest tournaments and was the only man to reach the semifinals of all four. Forced to play five-setters in each of the first two rounds of the U.S. Open, the first No. 1-seeded man to do that in the Open era that dates to 1968, he didn't drop another set until the final.

Shelton, who can fire serves at more than 140 mph, said Zverev had the best serve on tour.

"I think you combine that with as good as he is as a tennis player outside the serve, you know how complete he is, he's gotten so much better at the net," Shelton said. "He's an elite mover at 6-7. He's got a lot of length, so he returns really well. Solid from the baseline and one of the fittest guys on tour, too. Yeah, he's a tough guy to play, $100\%$ ."

HARD WORK PAYS OFF

Shelton also said Zverev works harder than anyone he knew, and the 29-year-old German seemed more willing to agree with that assessment than the one about being the best player.

"I think I'm up there, for sure, because I've said it before, I don't think I'm the most talented in any way. I don't think I'm a God-given talent like some other guys are," Zverev said. "I think most of my tennis is through hard work, through a lot of hours spent on the court, and through a lot of hours spent in the gym and on the track. That's how I play tennis."

The hard work helped him climb back toward the top after a severe ankle injury he sustained in the French Open semifinals in 2022, and finally to win the U.S. Open trophy he thought he should have had two years earlier.

Zverev won the first two sets against Dominic Thiem and got within two points of victory before becoming the first man to blow a two-set lead and lose in the final since 1949. That loss became easier to stomach once he finally broke through in Paris, even more so after he added another trophy and the \$5.5 million winner's check Sunday.

"I think the scars of the 2020 final, they kind of disappeared after I won in Paris," Zverev said. "I said it in Wimbledon. Even though I lost the final, I enjoyed the match, I enjoyed being in the Grand Slam final, I enjoyed playing on Centre Court, I enjoyed playing in front of an amazing crowd, in front of some celebrities and all that. I enjoyed doing that.

“Whereas before winning in Paris, I felt a lot of stress all the time, because there was always a question mark: Will I ever win one? What I think now is just more of a joy to play those kind of finals.”

ADORING CROWD NOT ENOUGH

Shelton had already told the fans he was really going to need them.

"I'm gonna need you guys on Sunday to bring the energy," the American had told a cheering Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd when he beat compatriot Frances Tiafoe in the U.S. Open semifinals on Friday night, setting up his first Grand Slam final. "We're going for it here."

Well, Shelton sure had Sunday's crowd. As Zverev himself correctly estimated, "99.9%" of the crowd seemed to be supporting Shelton. The brashly confident and appealing 23-year-old was trying to become the first American to win a Grand Slam title since Andy Roddick won the U.S. Open in 2003 — and the first Black man to win the tournament since Ashe in 1968.

But with all that history on the line — and maybe even because of it — it wasn't enough.

Not that the crowd didn't do its part.

It cheered Shelton, the No. 8 seed, constantly — from the moment he arrived on court, and whenever he exhibited intermittent flashes of brilliance. “Let’s go Ben!” they chanted, and sometimes “USA! USA!” Especially in the third set, when Shelton prevailed. The crowd roared, and settled in for a change of direction.

But it didn't happen.

At the trophy ceremony, a downcast Shelton recovered to smile and then charm the crowd, thanking everyone from, first, God, to his family and team, and down to his driver and “the security guards who make me smile every day.”

He saved his final thanks for the fans of New York, especially those “who stayed until 4 in the morning.” That was a reference to his epic quarterfinal win over No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller that will be talked about for years — and only partly because it concluded at 3:33 a.m., the latest finish ever at the Open.

Speaking to the media later Sunday, Shelton was subdued, but clearly focused on the future.

"I'm motivated," he said. "Disappointed with how today went (but) happy with how I fought throughout the week, two weeks. Excited with the progress that I feel that I've made, but yeah, this one stings $100\%$ .

"It's on to the next. Try to keep getting better and show up in Australia even stronger than I showed up here."

NASCAR

Larson surges to 2nd in Chase after finally ending skid

By Jeff Latzke | ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON, Ill. – Even as his winless drought stretched on for more than a year and Hendrick Motorsports' Chevrolets lagged behind his competitors' Toyotas, Kyle Larson never lost faith in his abilities or trust in his team.

After a timely win in NASCAR's Chase, Larson is only nine points behind postseason leader Denny Hamlin and within striking distance of a second straight Cup Series title.

Larson vaulted from seventh in the Chase standings to

Larson vaulted from seventh second with his win Sunday in the Enjoy Illinois 300 outside St. Louis, snapping a string of 51 consecutive races without a victory. It was the longest such stretch for the 34-year-old Larson since he joined the powerful Hendrick garage in 2021.

"I can see how on paper or in media's eyes, or maybe even some competitors' eyes, that you could doubt us, and I think that'd be reasonable," said Larson, shrugging off the notion that he could be seen as an underdog during his season of struggles. "You know, we hadn't won in 51 races, and yeah, we were kind of just mid throughout the season, and not starting as high as we want to be in the Chase.

“So I could see that, but I don’t really view myself as that, and I don’t really feel like, ‘Oh, I’ve got ... I’m going to prove them wrong’ either.”

Larson was encouraged by a competitive showing in the playoff-opening Southern 500 at Darlington, leading a race-high 99 laps before settling for fifth place. He and crew chief Cliff Daniels thought Joey Logano had a better car Sunday at Gateway, but Larson was able to pull off the win by passing Logano on a late restart in regulation and holding him off in overtime.

Despite it being just his first win of the season, compared to four for Hamlin, Larson is in great position heading into the Saturday night race at Bristol Motor Speedway, where he has been particularly strong.

Larson led 284 laps in this year's spring race before finishing third, and even that was a step back from his recent Bristol dominance. He led 462 of 500 in a triumphant 2024 night race and followed that up by leading 411 in his 2025 spring victory.

"We're just trying to do the best job we can and try to score as many points as we can," Larson said. "And, I mean, I would love to be nine points ahead (rather) than nine points behind right now. But you know, it's been a good start to our Chase."

And a complete 180 from how the season started. Daniels confessed that the Hendrick teams underestimated their gap to the Toyotas, which won five of the first six races, then flailed by trying to do too much in their setups at early races, including Darlington and Phoenix.

“We have learned through those mistakes that we can’t just go overreach on everything every week,” Daniels said. “Like, everything can’t be in question every week. There’s some things that have to be your solid foundation point.”

Jeff Gordon, a four-time Cup Series champion and the current Hendrick vice chairman, credited Larson and his team for continuing to work hard without getting deterred by mistakes or strategic decisions that didn't pan out.

"The thing that gets you down the most, especially when you've had success, is not having fast race cars, not having cars capable of of running up front," Gordon said, relating to his own career. "And I think if anything has probably challenged those guys the most, it's that."

Larson, a superstar who dabbled with running in the Indianapolis 500 in past years, said his confidence never wavered despite failing to win a race since May 2025 at Kansas. Plus, despite not winning a race in last year's playoffs, Larson still was consistently strong enough to win the 2025 title.

"I've had more fun this year than a lot of years, and we hadn't won till this point, so I don't mind the struggle," Larson said, noting the winless stretch never felt that long to him. "I'm not scared of it."

Now that the results are starting to come, Larson was asked if he's “back.” He quickly dismissed any comparisons to 2021, when he won the championship, or 2023, when he won four times and finished second in the playoffs.

“But we’ve been definitely building to get back to victory lane,” Larson said.

“I don’t know if we’re quite yet where we can go dominate like we have in the past, but you know, a day like (Sunday) definitely gives you confidence leading into a track where we know we can go dominate.”

Hamlin placed ninth in Sunday's race.

"I think we are so fortunate," the 45-year-old Hamlin said. "We were strong last week, and this week we were not strong, and still, we maintained the lead."

Christopher Bell, the winner the week before, is 18 points back of Hamlin and another nine points back of Larson in third place. Bell is the defending champion at Bristol's postseason race.

Ty Gibbs won the Bristol spring race in overtime, edging 2023 Cup champ Ryan Blaney by 0.055 seconds. Blaney led a race-high 190 laps.
