Frustrated Trump lashes out at allies

As victory in lean power, elusive, he appears to be targeting U.S. partners

BY RACHEL GLASON,

AND MEMORIAL DE CENDRA

To kick off the week, President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman, a U.S. MP that has been acting as a mediator trying to end the war against Iran.

The next day, Trump posted a map with a circle around the break of Moscow — and he had along its directions in Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Iran — labeling the area "SERV U.S. Territory".

And on Wednesday, Trump declared "ECONOMIC D-DAY" against Iran, warning in a past as fresh foetal of two consequences for any nation that supports Iran.

Trump's immediate mission this week were a symptom of growing themselves, analysis said, as the president does not appear to see a way out of the war that he started. Nearly six months after launching attacks on Iran with Israel and 75 days before elections that will determine whether his party retains control of Congress, Trump faces the kind of open-ended conflict he ever claimed for world end.

Unable to keep China's surrender and declare the victory he sought, Trump is increasingly looking out at allies. He also seems worried of a potential sub- and between Iran and other Par-

Swalwell's devices seized in FBI probe

Former congressman snapped after sex assault allegations surfaced

BY PERRY NYLON

AND ALEXIS BONDET

Federal law enforcement officials seized electronic devices belonging to former congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Gathering) as part of an investigation of sexual assault allegations against him, according to new people familiar with the inquiry.

The FBI seized at least one of Swalwell's electronic devices at the Prussian International Airport on Saturday evening, the people familiar said. His D.C. knew two searches the next day, according to police people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

Swamps have not been charged with any crimes.

Publicly available court papers confirm the content of an iPhone and laptop from Swalwell, but do not deal with they were taken. The searches were first reported by the Daily Mail.

Genetic ride horses at Trump International Golf Links Ireland.

Trump wants a ballroom in Ireland. One man is having a ball fighting it.

Tiny Bombleg was all in favor of the plan, but concerns about an endangered snail — and 'serial objects' Liam Madden — could detail the project

BY TERRANCE McCoy

Everything seemed primed for President Donald Trump to get his ballroom.

No, not that ballroom. His color balloons.

Across the Atlantic, in the tiny village of Bombleg, where the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel room above the street of a windtower beach, the president and his family had promised to build "the nicest ballroom in Ireland" — a grand officer that would attend across 12,000 square feet and seat 120 guests at 42 tables.

Liam Madden is notorious for blocking development projects across Ireland.

And unlike in Washington, where Trump's push to far-truck a grandson White House balloons are all a political and legal fight that has now reached the Supreme Court, the population of Bombleg, which leaves around 100, had lined up behind the project.

In a letter to the local planning commission, a local anti-owner said it would halt the village's decline. Another resident said it would create jobs and bring toทั้งneuro tourism. A statement by the Bombleg Football Club called the golf resort "not just a business." 1023 HELLAND 1/2 2023

Artificial intelligence is a new force driving inequality

Evidence mounts that it's helping richest people and cities pull further ahead

BY SHAN J OYNN

Sam Altman, the chief executive who unleashed ChatGPT on the world, has called artificial intelligence as "equishing force" that will "collectively lift us all up."

But evidence is piling up that the AI boom may instead be widening the gap between American economic assistance and everyone else.

Data shows that the people making the most use of AI are concentrated in richer urban areas, while disadvantaged regions have lagged behind. Affili-

ant Americans are on a spending spess thanks to investment portfolios factored by an AI-addicted stock market. And some economic experts are warning that AI could widen the decline gap between American workers and business owners that has caused anxiety for a decade.

The developments are sparking concerns from top economists, hedge fund titans and left-wing politicians that AI may be battling a greater bag of inequality with potentially disruptive political consequences.

"When wealth concentrates and disaffection spreads, booze and faults," top executives from Bridgewater Associates, a prominent hedge fund, wrote last week. They called for the government to hit one of AI and collectively AI wealth to everyone.

Dip in retail sales is a worrying sign for inflation-weary U.S.

WALMART'S WEAKEST GROWTH IN YEARS

Consumer spending is main engine of economy

BY RACHEL LEHMAN

Signs of inflation weariness are starting to appear at some of the nation's most important retail giants, raising doubts about how long consumers can keep up strong spending.

On Thursday, Walmart, one of the nation's largest retailers, reported its weakest sales growth since the pandemic recession in 2020, a dip blamed at part on falling powerprints drug prices. Another improved concern about Walmart's growth and what that was about the strength of the U.S. consumer.

To draw raise this question, is the consumer slowing down? said Ted Saunders, a retail analyst at GlobalData. "There's definitely a few signs that things are becoming a lot tattered at the edges."

Singing fuel prices and higher inflation have plagued Americans this year, especially since

the war in Iran began in February. Americans have mostly been spending robustly this year, even for things that are not necessities. Consumer spending is important because it makes up roughly two-thirds of economic activity.

Prices grew faster than wages in July, and more results in consumer spending are starting to show July retail sales showed an unexpected stump, said people increasingly not very aware the state of the economy, according to several polls.

Home improvement retailers, including Lowers and Home Development, continue to sell the effects of a tough housing market. High-housing rates and home prices have been major opting to stop, put and delay large projects in hopes that costs will come down.

Both companies reported growing sales this week, but Home Depot and customer advertising to smaller home projects need the "brown housing condition." And Lowers noted that demand for discretionary DIY was under pressure.

This highway exploded: many more are at risk

Hister summers are bucking roads and bending tracks

BY TODD C. FRANKEL

It was another stulting summer day in late July, with temperature nearing 100 degrees, when one of the main roads setting through Greenville, Texas, finally just goes up.

The storefront U.S. Highway 60 kept expanding in the extreme heat until it exploded, creating a sharp two-foot-tall ramp where it broke at the pavement joint. Most of the traffic in this Dallas crash drove around it.

But then a black poking hit the ramp going about 30 mph, sending the truck airborne, "Police of Thailand" style, firing several feet

in the air and slumming down on its front turn.

"Oh, my God!" an calendar said, as the scene was being recorded. "That's crazy!"

It was a dramatic example of what has been playing out especially this summer along the nation's roadways, railroad tracks and bridges. Season heat is causing strikes to expand to the point that they break.

Democrats are looking for a new kind of fighter

For more than a decade, the Democratic Party has defined itself as its opposition to Donald Trump and everything he which he stands.

Midwest

students almost always are exhilarating on the president and the party to power. But this year's election seems to providing something evidence that although Democratic animosity toward Trump is a given, it is no longer sufficient to hold the party together as it did during 2024's off-year contests.

Florida's Democratic Senate primary on Tuesday was the latest example. A talk here at the Trump resistance, former Trump National Security Council aide Alexander Vitelman, was textured for state Rep. Angie Nixon, who joined the Democratic Republic of America a few weeks before the election.

Vitelman was a key witness during Trump's 2020 impeachment, testifying that he had been on a phone call to which the then-president had presented Ukrainian President Vladimir Zubovsky to investigate rival the Biden and his family.

Vitelman campaigned as a champion of democracy and had the backing of the Democratic establishment, as well as a 2-10 million war chest that detailed the loss that it's fallen that Nixon raised. But Vitelman, he years accostly, proved a lackluster candidate who didn't take his opponent seriously.

Nixon, meanwhile, had earned her combat stripes in Tallahassee, the state capital, and Jacksonville, her north Florida district.

In May, she was arrested while staging a firechest shot in the governor's office against the GOP's and decade redefending grooms, which gave Repulch-Jones a big up to four additional House races. Rather, she had prompted a vote on that map by searching onto the House floor with a bar and bullfeats and shooting: "This is a violation of the Constitution."

has also turned her fire on her own party. "Fiorelman don't want the establishment," Washington, D.C. deciding who their Democratic nominee and U.S. senator is going to be," she told the Tampa Bay Times.

Vitelman's turn, by double digits, follows the primary. Arbush of other Democratic who had posted the themselves at the vanguard of the Trump resistance.

They include Rep. Dan Goldman (New York), who had gained national prominence at the House Intelligence Commission's lead counsel in Trump's first impeachment trial, and Rep. Diana DeSantis (Colorado), who had been an imponderated manager at Trump's second trial

before the Senate. In 2022, after the Jan. 6 attack to his support for on the U.S. Capitol.

Reps. Al Green (Texas) and their Thamshur (Michigan), both of whom had introduced impeachment articles during Trump's second term, also lost their primaries. And亨利·George Conway, a former Republican who became one of the presidents most prominent antagonists on odds news, placed him in a crowded primary for an open New York City seat, getting barely 5 percent of the vote.

It is understandable that Democrats would be disillusioned with what their party has been doing in former Trump. "We are at a point where, like

Wake U.S. Legislature I'd is also dead. Donald Trump was impounded twice, and he president again," said Ter Barton, vice president for public policy at the Searchlight Institute, a Democratic think tank. "People must move from the Democratic."

So voters are moving on, even if many of their candidates haven't.

The challenge meeting for word is how Democrats confront the new forces that are emerging within their party. Should they miss again gain control of at least one house of Congress in November, as usual likely, they will have to offer at least a usefulness of a grooming agenda.

But the bigger test will come as they turn their attention to the presidential control of 2024, and a political better that will uphold beyond Trump's time to office.

It could well be a contentious exercise. And the standard bear or who emerges will probably be the one who can demonstrate that voters may be confident what the party stands for while also creating a broad span in which the various sections of the party can find comfortable. "We are needed for it."

Barton said, producing that the 2024 nominee will be picked by a Democratic primary, excites that really wants to disbanded out by what it is against, but by what it is for."

FEMA official fired after Musk post seeks to clear her name

BY MIKHA KIRKPATRICK

AND BRIANNA RAKIN

A senior Federal Emergency Management Agency official fired each hair can be seeking to clear her name after Elon Musk blamed her for allowing payments to New York City to honor immigrants, which she said was approved by a U.S. DOGE Service aide.

In early February last year,

Musk posted on X that DOGE, which stands for the Department of Government Efficiency, discovered FEMA sent 100 million to "luxury" hotels in New York City to honor illegal migrants," calling the partners unlawful and as yet of "prosecution" status. Musk shared FEMA's former chief financial officer Mary Comans's name and photo in a post accusing her of "a criminal action."

Last month, a judge ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully fired Comans in February 2023, as part of U.S. District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff's decision, which the government is currently appealing, Comans is now entitled to a name-clearing hearing after Musk and conservative influences attached her and shared her personal information on social media.

Comans's attorney filed a new statement Tuesday explaining she had no role in authorizing the payments to question and that, days before she was fired, a DOGE official had explicitly endorsed FEMA's decision to continue sending money to state and local governments.

The filing provider she most detailed account yet of the results surrounding her filing, and reveals how the government had been completely suspended to social media claims made by Musk and others during the raids, barred days when DOGE carried out to insure power access for federal government. The statement from Comans alleges that many officials at FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security knew she had not authorized the payments even as the administration publicly blamed her for them.

The case marks one of the first to reach this phase of conviction. While other first federal workers have appealed to the three between Prosecution Board and Special Law, Comans has agreed that it supposed to protect federal employees from nuclear fittings. Comans took her case to federal court, arguing that it has been ineffective and her dismissal is a constitutional question because the administration has cited the president's

Last month, a judge ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully fired Mary Comans in early 2023.

Article 15 powers to remove sub-ordination.

Comans's dispute centers on FEMA's Shelter and Services Program, a congressionally funded grant program that volunteered state and local governments and other organizations for certain costs of disclosing migrants released from federal custody.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump ordered agencies to return federal funding to nongovernmental organizations that provided services to immigrants and some payments while that review was underway. [Will Secretary Kevin L. Evans also directed the department to halt certain immigration-related grant payments to nonprofit organizations.]

FEMA's chief counsel sought guidance from [Will] about whether the former applied only to nongovernmental organizations or to the other people of the Shelter and Services Program. Officials at FEMA stated concerns in a February meeting that there was a court order mandating that [Will] need states and local governments also ensure that they told DOGE they needed to restart payments, according to two current and former FEMA officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for

fear of retaliation.

The following day, FEMA's grants offered last Comans approved payments to New York City and Colorado, one of the officials said.

Days later, DOGE representatives met with FEMA and [Will] officials to discuss the grants, according to Comans's account. DOGE said: Read Smith asked whether payments to nonprofit organizations had stopped and was told they had. When a FEMA official said payments to state and local governments were still being made, Smith responded: "Start the right source," the filing said.

But on Feb. 3, a DOGE official working at the Treasury Department flagged the New York documents, and DOGE officials all kept their voiced Trump's and Trump's directives. The next day, Musk began putting about it on X, she would media platform be come.

Comans was then tasked with helping recover the money that filing says she coordinated with Trump's and Dallas to return roughly $40 million and a report of by that evening that the funds were being sent back. FEMA's acting administrator thanked her for the work, according to the filing.

The next meeting, Feb. 15, Comans was told she had been fired and had about 12 minutes to leave the building.

"Though her institutions letter didn't let a reason for her firing, [Will] publicly announced that she had been fired for 'recovering leadership to unilaterally make complete payments for future NYC funds for migrants.'"

Curry Lewan-Kowitz, then Novato's top officer and a special government engineer, provided information to conservative activist Larry Lewan that led her to post Comans' name and access her of illegally funding local state in violation of Trump's executive order, according to the filing. Lewan and Musk did not definitively respond to requests for comment.

Courtney McKenna, a federal employees or attorney representing other workers who was not involved in Comans' care, said it could become more common to our name-clearing hearings for other federal employees who are fired and attached publicly to administration officials.

"We will not return to those because there have been other public statements about others that would similarly qualify for entitlement of a name-clearing," McKenna said.

Florida school board at center of culture wars loses conservative majority

BY LAUREN LUMPKIN

A Florida school board that was at the epicenter of national debates over covid made mass dates and book base lost its conservative majority this week, a change that came out signals a priority shift among voters.

Two Democratic-backed candidates beat out conservatives in Tuesday's school board election in Sarasota, Florida. Rippling the board's majority. Hiding for the past year by a co-founder of Moran for Liberty — a conservative group that gained a national following with its parents' rights messaging — the board is moving in a new direction, the winners said. A third Democratic-backed candidate will head to a runoff election against a contender endorsed by Republicans in November.

"I really think at the end of the day, regardless of political affiliation, our community was just tired of the culture wars, the political theatre and being the centre of national attention for all the wrong reasons," said Megan Tomlinson, a former teacher who won election in the board on Tuesday.

While Democrats say the flip indicates voters want to move on from fights over social issues, Moran for Liberty points to conservatives won in other parts of Florida.

"Every couple of years someone in the media, writes our obituary, and every couple of years parents show up and prove them wrong," Tina Donovitch, Moran for Liberty co-founder and chief executive, said Wednesday. "School boards are general new in the fight for parental rights, and last night Florida parents made that clear."

During covid, the Sarasota County school district was among those that saw federal board meetings and headline grabbing debates over parents' rights. High-profile conservative leaders with documented ties to the county include former national security adviser Michael Pinto, and Charlie Kirk, the head of a pro-Trump youth group Turning Point USA who was killed last year.

The Sarasota County School Board had been controlled to conservatives since 2012, so the board of the presidents for school board meetings and elections, typically spies and uncontroversial, became partisan battlegrounds. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) got involved around that time by endorsing

candidates, something, governors have nearly done.

His involvement in the local races came as he pushed an education agenda that included a ban on teaching young students — and later all students — about

sexual orientation and gender identity.

Among those who won DeSantis' support was Sarasota County School Board Chair Bridget Ziegler, first elected in 2014.

Ziegler, who was embroiled in a war scandal in 2020 and refused to stop down when her husband was accused of sexual assault, did not run for reduction this year. Ziegler's husband was cleared of the sexual assault

charge in 2016. She did not immediately return requests for comment.

Elsewhere in the state on Tuesday, a Democratic-backed school board candidate flipped a conservative seat in Orange County, one of the largest school districts in the country. On the same ballot, a Democratic socialist won an upset primary victory in the U.S. Senate race.

"I think that they realized how destructive those dictates policies really were," Beth Mayberry, another Democratic-backed winner in the Sarasota County School Board race, said about voters. A retired educator, Mayberry's campaign focused on school funding and mental health.

"What they've seen in the last four years, with basically the tabloid happenings on the school board and a lot of the policies and resolutions that were being made, our general community did not agree with," Mayberry said.

Another candidate endorsed by the local Democratic Party, Jimmy Glover, won the most votes in his race against two Republican opponents, but failed to capture more than 50 percent of the votes. This will trigger a runoff election in November.

If Glover wins, the board will be completely Democratic-backed — and he will be the first person of color to serve on the Sarasota County School Board, said David Dean, chair of the county's Democratic Party.

Two other members, who were also supported by Democrats and have previously opposed conservative members, round out the five-member board.

While school board elections are nonpartisan, political parties typically endorse candidates they believe will support their prowess. Dean echoed sentiments that residents are fed up with the culture wars and instead warn their school board to focus on teachers and students.

School board meetings should be boring. They shouldn't make the national news," Dean said. "There's certainly a shift in attitudes toward the MACA agenda, even here."

List of conservatives, the Sarasota County School Board voted last year to remove reference to race, sexation and disability from its anti-bullying rules. In January, it reaffirmed the district's stance to cooperate with law enforcement, including U.S. immigration and Customs

federerment.

Ziegler, at the time, said it was a safety measure. "Our School District cannot provide safe harbor to criminals, including those who violate our immigration laws," she wrote on social media.

However, the measure did not change anything because the district had already agreed to work with authorities, Tomlinson said. "That resolution was designed to do nothing but instill four in our community."

Sarasota is still deep out — even voters' support reaches programs and religion in schools.

Moran for Liberty rose to prominence during the pandemic, when conservative parents demanded more car over what their children learned in school — particularly around topics including race, sexuality and gender.

The group has expanded to about 100,000 members in 48 states since its founding in 2021, according to its website, hosting Donald Trump and DeSantis at its second in 2023 in a run-up to the presidential election. It has since accrued influence in the 60th: in school board elections nationwide, and was called upon by the Trump administration to help shape national education programming.

The group has regularly attacked the LGBTQ+ community and spread "messages of nationalization and hate" while aligning itself with national groups, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

But organization leaders are pushing back against reports that their influence on school board elections in their home state of Florida has waned. Moran for Liberty officials said it of the 15 school board candidates it endorsed in other races across the state won or advanced on Tuesday.

Brent Brandt, a conservative who will lose Glover in the outset in November, said she was disappointed with the school board election outcome, but hopes the newcomers will concentrate on schools. Like the Democratic-backed candidates, she said she wants to remove political fights from the board.

"This is about our students and our teachers and our families. It's not about a conservative or liberal majority or minority," Brandt said. "I understand the celebrations and the turning of the tables, but I'm just truly praying that it's not going to be about politics."

CIA staff modus leaves retirees waiting months for benefits

Spy agency is swamped by departures and push to shrink its workers?

BY WARREN P. STROBES

A historic wave of experience at the CIA and deep setbacks at the Office of Personnel Management are swamping the spy agency's retirement retirees, leaving former spies with something waste to get their first pension funds, according to former intelligence officials and internal agents messages.

While precise numbers are classified, current and future officials say the past of retirement and recognition from the CIA veterans anything in recent summer. They are being fueled in part by President Donald Trump's push to shrink the federal government, including deferred computation, offered to workers last year.

The CIA, in a recent note to remain acknowledged the problem and pleaded for patience.

The Retirement Branch is currently processing an unprecedented number of retirement cases, and a working force only around the clock to expedite these cases. The state and "the" agencies now manufacturing and patience as we imagine this challenging period. But around that our team is committed to processing your annuity payment in the future as well.

It goes outman two toll-free numbers to tell if more than six months had passed since they's received their final paycheck.

Our former official said direct-costly spoke to a colleague who retired in March and had not received the first paycheck, and went shock.

"The question is how do you know that the change and how do you pay for your kids' college," the former official said.

As CIA workers prepare to retire, they are eligible to take a "precious" time. The state called "Retirees" that is meant to help them navigate life out into the spy agency's destroyed halls — like how to prepare a job training closure that doesn't disclose classified information.

Lastly, there is the seminar on being told they may not see their first full retirement check or up to date months, or longer after they depart the CIA's headquarters in Laughy, Virginia.

The retirement crash mirrors trends across the federal government, where, data from the 1980-1990 correspondence, numbers of people leaving, creating lengthy delays in retirees receiving their benefits, have been taken away more than 100,000 departures, most of which were voluntary.

The situation is particularly pregnant at the CIA, where officers who are not in Laughy, and rarely receive public recognition and share a culture of our own identity and daily outside the spy agency's walls.

CIA officers who until recently

securities' agents, proposed classified reports on world crises or developed high-tech espionage tools are feeling the opposite, and the former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal CIA dynamics.

"If military retirees were told they had to wait a year or more for natural pension benefits, Washington would be apopotent," intelligence officers serve in the shadows, and their interviews should not become a startle for intellectual dollars," said a former senior U.S. intelligence official that handles with the issue.

"If agency is an agricultural leaders were not aware of this problem before, they are now," he said.

In response to the crunch, the CIA has ranged personnel to the Retirement Branch, including people with experience with that work.

CIA is committed to ensuring that critical officers who dedicated their careers is not monstrousness that had earned financial time as quickly as possible," a CIA spokesperson said in response to questions from The Post.

Under Disaster [John] Ral (8th), CIA is focused on estimating the Agency to its mission of recruiting, spies, and recently hired our largest class of operations officers in two decades," the spokesperson said in a statement.

The size of the CIA's workforce and the number of employees who have left since the start of Trump's second term are classified. Overall, the CIA workforce was followed by be about 25,000

in early 2023, U.S. officials said. Many hundreds of people — perhaps more than 1,000 — have since left, one of the former officials estimated.

Some former officials describe the agency's downsizing on the largest since the CIA was significantly cut back in the early 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.

In May 2020, the Trump administration told Congress of planned to retire the CIA workforce by 1,200 over several years, mostly through attrition and reduced foreign agents working, were among the issue of thousands of federal employees who took a deferred computation package for Trump administration offered to shrink the government's ranks. Others simply decided it was time to harm.

Administrators responsible for processing retirement requests are among those who have left, worsening the crunch, and two former intelligence officials.

"The man and woman of the CIA protect our country and make immediate relief every day, often without any acknowledgement or recognition," said two Black Warren "Virginia, the U.S. Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. The least our government can do is ensure they receive the benefits they deserve when they decide to have."

Signle and again, this administration has minimized our public servants, including those in the CIA, and whether it's to competence or disrespect that is creating the delay, the attention

before need to figure out how to fix it," Warner said.

Some CIA officers have pulled back their retirement requests because they can't afford to go long periods without being paid, one of the former officials said. Others are failing back on surings or taking out second mortgages to cover the gap.

"We're looking now, board cash, spies for a major period of time," the co-committal statement put, said a retired CIA official who left last fall. "More thoughtfully and aggressively passes into before one year."

The original report, written to the months before he was paid for annual annual leave — a time that can be rebranded for some retirees — and another month after that before he can fax first retirement check.

The CIA has a tradition of treating its retirees well, former officials said. Among the reasons: many "accompanions with先进 fall of society are a target for adversary intelligence service. We are creating a massive [counterintellectual risk]," said the official who left last fall.

Like other federal officials, former CIA officers are banned from taking certain jobs for a set period after retirement, and as lobbying on issues they handled while in government or working for foreign governments.

CIA retirement packages are initially handled within the agency, which can take several months. Retirees are given an estimate of what their benefits will be.

More factors can complicate

the process. Departing officials may have served undercover, using a different identity; spent time in the CIA military or at another intelligence agency, or have a spouse who also worked at the CIA.

Once completed, the packages are transmitted to the Office of Personnel Management, the government's former reserve or agency before the case are released. OPM issues interest payments to retirees that are typically 90 to 80 percent of their eventual checks. The government eventually makes up the different.

John Sutton, staff vice president of policy and programs at the National Action and Retired Federal Employees Association, said there is no legal recourse for retirees who want to get their benefits aware, and the government will not own summer for diskred payments.

"It's a tough situation," he said. The OPM workforce declined by a third, from just over 1,000 in fiscal year 2018 to 1,000 in fiscal 2026, according to the agency's data. Though the OPM expanded the report, their retirement retirement service is handle the wave of departures, the issue still should be 10 percent, according to the CIA Government Accountability Office.

OPM data shows it is taking longer on average for the agency to process retirement claims from 75 days in October 2023 to 200 days in July.

Carrier will replace LVS: Abraham Lincoln

U.S. military officials said Thursday that the aircraft carrier (US) George Washington has made it to the Graham Sea, where it will replace a similar vessel that has gone months without a port stop amid the four war.

The George Washington carrier (US) the USN Abraham Lincoln, which has been in the Middle East for months, launch in the 1960s and carrying nearly 5,000 sailors as part of a broader Canada that the Pentagon assembled in an effort to deter him.

The carrier the Abraham Lincoln have reported shortages of fresh food, numerous plumbing supplies and process instructions with the open-ended nature of their deployment. After media reports he send on the cause, President Donald Trump and President George Washington's played down the problems, with flagged things they had been able to "encourage potential."

John Brad Cooper, who oversees operations in the Middle East at head of U.S. Central Command, visited the Abraham Lincoln last weekend. In an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, he said that he'd told the carrier that "a bad" behavior is performance for the "ages" and would even be going home. He acknowledged challenges with living conditions on the vessel that have been in the Abrahamson supply "old lower" and had been received benefits earlier.

Longtime publisher of Stars and Stripes paper resigns

Announcement includes a departing shot at the Pentagon

BY LAM BOOTY AND BOOTY DAVIES

The longtime publisher of Stars and Stripes announced he's stripping down works after the Pentagon installed an active-ship there captain at the military newspaper, an atypical appointment that shuffles board members and Democratic lawmakers say rules involve sending the publications independent from the government.

Max Lederer, who spent more than 50 years at Stars and Stripes, announced Tuesday he was stripping away after much two decades as publisher. His result is staff about his departure included a putting shot at the Defense Department.

"It has become clear that my philosophy of leadership, and my understanding of the value and mission of Stars and Stripes, differ in fundamental ways from the direction this leadership of the Department of Defense has for the organization," Lederer wrote in an email obtained by The Washington Post. He said his retirement is effective Sept. 30.

Though Stars and Stripes staffers are government employees and the newspaper grievance funding from the Defense Department, it has enjoyed long-standing editorial independence from the Pentagon. But that independence has come under threat during the second Trump administration as top Pentagon leaders have decided the newspaper as "evoke."

For decades, the newspaper's independence has helped to part on its civilian leadership, which helps ensure the publication doesn't turn into pro-government propaganda. William Urban, an active-ship there captain and public affairs officer, was appointed earlier this month as a Deputy to Lederer. The appointment was made without Lederer's consultation, according to Rufus Wulley, chair of the Stripes

Stars and Stripes has enjoyed long-standing editorial independence from the Pentagon.

advisory board of publishers. Placing unblended personnel among the newspapers' leadership has raised concerns among members of the Stripes publisher's advisory board about the newspaper's independence.

Three Democratic senators on Thursday sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Rappath, approving concern that Urban's placement at the newspaper threatens its independence.

"The placement of an active-ship Public Affairs officer in the senior leadership of an organization whose credibility depends on its independence from the military chain or command source serious questions. Mr. Lederer's abrupt departure only lengthens those concerns," wrote from Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-New Hampshire). The three senators also serve on the Armed Services Committee.

In the letter, the senators hailed the role of Stars and

Stripes in providing reliable news to US service members, but said that trust hinges on the newspaper's editorial independence. "That trust depends on presenting a clear separation between independent journalism and the Department's public affairs apparatus," they wrote. "In this critical moment of leadership transition, that independence must not be compromised."

They asked Rappath to provide by Aug. 24 an explanation of Urban's role, including whether he has any influence over editorial operations. They also asked whether Urban will replace Lederer as the permanent publisher.

Now Stripes staffers who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal, said they were apprehensive about what would happen at the paper without Lederer's leadership.

"We has spent years working really hard to ensure our editorial independence and our ability to report honestly to service members about the topics that impact them directly," the staffer

said. "There's a lot of unknowns with what comes next without him in that end."

The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment.

Urban in an email letter he was hired as "military deputy to the publisher" and remains in that role despite Lederer's departure. He said that while hiring a new publisher could take months, it's possible that the Pentagon appoints an interim publisher from inside or outside Stars and Stripes. He declined to comment on questions about his qualifications and the independence of the paper.

In an Aug. 14 letter to congressional committees about Urban's appointment, Friday, the advisory board chair, expressed concern about his lack of journalism experience.

"Placing an active-ship Public Affairs Officer at the senior management level of Stars and Stripes creates a serious concern about the appearance and reality of its editorial independence," he wrote.

Urban was most recently director of public affairs at the U.S.

Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Before that he was the lead spokesman for RUDO and U.S. Central Command.

Lederer is an Army veteran and twelve who joined Stripes in 1992 as general counsel in Germany, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Bill Church, another member of the Stripes publisher's advisory board, also expressed concern about Urban's lack of journalism experience.

"Now does someone with zero experience in a global news organization walk into a senior-level role at Stars and Stripes?" said Church, who is also the executive editor of the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper. "We should all worry about the future of Stripes."

Gabe Bottman, vice president of policy at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said editorial independence and civilian leadership are what make Stripes a valuable source of news for service members.

This is another intrusion by the Pentagon into the independence of the press and it is so-

sential that Congress stop in to mandate Stars and Stripes from political influence," Bottman said.

Lederer declined an interview request. In a Stripes article about Lederer's departure, Erik Harris, the newspaper's editor in chief, said the publisher was an "inspirational leader."

"For decades, Max Lederer disorganized the interests of service members and their families by supporting their access to credible reporting, independent news, and better chain of command," Harris said.

Lederer's forthcoming departure is the latest sign of upheaval at Stripes, which was first published during the 1993 War and has continuously reported on and for the US military community since World War II.

In March, the Defense Department outlined a broad "undercitation" effort for the newspaper, according to an internal memo issued by the Air Base by The Washington Post. That memo rates after a pledge made in the United States and the publication and roll it of "evoke distractions."

In April, Defense Department official Sean Farrell fired the publications spokesman, Jacqueline Smith, the newsperson, used the Pentagon in June, alleging that her dismissal was retaliatory and violated her First Amendment rights.

"I'm changing that my First Amendment rights were violated by speaking out in the column that I've written since Jan. 15, which were critical of what I saw as the Pentagon's attempts to control the editorial content of Stars and Stripes," Smith said in a June interview.

The absence of editorial independence at Stripes would be "uncontrollable," said Susan "Hale" Sherbarian, another member of the Stripes advisory board.

"Service members are the ones who are out there definitely our Constitution, and part of that Constitution is the First Amendment," she said.

Stripes has continued to report critically on the U.S. military, including an concrete about mental health and the risk of self-harm for sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Persian Gulf.

The facility was opened by Ukrainian refugees Alex and Yana Yanovsky.

With more than 20 species, Florida opens first jellyfish museum in U.S.

Woman arrested in alleged ISIS-inspired plot to bomb New York Capitol

FBI agents gained details by posing as Islamic State facilitators

40 Ann B Watts ANN-THOAH, USA

The FBI arrested a 35-year-old woman for allegedly picking as Islamic State-inspired details on the New York Capitol building, federal officials said Thursday.

Someone of the Almaty New York, was charged with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, officials said.

Bowie was in federal custody Thursday and appeared in court, where she was formally notified of the charges.

She converted to Islam about five years ago and created several social media profiles to 'improve anti-American messages' according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday in U.S. District

Court for the Northern District of New York.

John A. Barcom III, first assistant U.S. attorney for the district, called the allegations 'deeply disturbing'.

The complaint contains oxidative details about Bostick alleged plane, extracted in part by undiscover FBI agents posing as Islamic State facilitators in communications with her.

Bowie allegedly began communicating plane to attack the state Capitol in mid-Apr, sharing the information with a person who was unaware was a confidential FBI source, officials said. The communications continued for more than a month until her arrest the week, they said.

The allegedly told the source she wanted help making nightmare to 'target our state capitol'. "A study in a war I could get away with and buy on a plane after," she added that she didn't know whether it was 'dodgin' according to excerpt from their conversation included in the complaint.

The New York Capitol, in Albany, in 2019.

In the same conversation, Bowie allegedly confirmed that she was as Islamic State supporter and that she lived less than two miles from the state

Capitol. She said she wanted 'to do something to benefit the animals and harm the enemies of god,' according to the complaint. 'Ommak' refers to the global

Muslim community, but an agent states in the documents that the Islamic State narrows the term 'community' down to refer to its own active members and local supporters.

The complaint alleges Bowie walked around the Capitol building on five occasions from July 22 to Aug. 5, sending dozens of pictures of the building to the FBI's confidential source.

She told the source she was spending time there to learn more about its security, the complaint states. In another conversation, she allegedly told a different FBI source that she estimated the building contained 100 people and that she hoped to 'take out' roughly half of them.

On Wednesday, Bowie met two confidential FBI sources who gave her what she believed was an nightmare about erupted with materials she had worked with them to acquire, the document said.

The two people showed her how to use the least nightmare device and solicited a donation

from her to create devices for future operations. Upon visiting a vehicle with the two sources, she was arrested by FBI agents. Officials said she was arrested at a McDonald's not far from the Capitol.

She warned her rights and agreed to an interview with FBI agents, court documents state.

"There's no helping me, you guys know enough, there's no helping me. I'm... going to prison for the rest of my life," she allegedly said. 'Material support is up to 20 years in prison, I already thought it better, I know I'm going to jail.'

The Northern District of New York's Office of the Federal Police Detective Allison immediately reported to a request for comment.

In a statement, New York (see Kathy Shulak 25) said there was no immediate threat to the Capitol and security had been strengthened across state government buildings this year because of a rise in political violence.

U.S. roads, rails aren't built for the heat. This summer is proving it.

HIGHWAYS 7/18 & 19

'Mowops' — the technical term for what the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation declared is 'a home to a concrete or brick pavement caused by pavement expansion from excessive heat.'

The entire state of Wisconsin was cautioned earlier this summer to 'watch for pavement buckles.' A blowup last month closed part of December 87 new formula Park, Maryland, clogging traffic for a quick repair and then for three straight nights, interstate 48 in Willowport, Louisiana, was also shut for buses while crews raced to deal with a blowup. After a bike path sent to U.S. 90 buckled, officials in Brodley County, Colorado, wanted residents to prepare for more.

'You start seeing them in one 8 minutes, and then they surge as the heat builds,' said David North, a district engineer with Louisiana's transportation department.

Blowups, he said, are 'impredictable and instant.'

In New Jersey, a vertical-bilt bridge over the Point Pleasant Canal has been forced to close to heat traffic four different times this summer — on June 13, June 18, July 16 and Aug. 7 — because shortening heat kept cooking bridge components and preventing the span from moving.

The bridge, which opened in 1972, was built for a different climate.

State officials now 'are working with our consultants to see if there can be any modifications made to mitigate these issues,' Bowe lethagons of the New Jersey Department of Transportation said in a statement.

In Wisconsin, the rate of pavement buckling had been increasing over the last decade, with higher temperatures partly to blame, according to a 2012 state report.

The Federal Highway Administration in 2023 wanted against relying on historical climate records when designing new roads and suggested bucking instead to predictive climate models.

'I do think there is a recognition that [road] specifications and standards are static, but weather patterns are changing,' said Blaine Underwood, an engineering professor at North Carolina State University and president of the Institute of Pavement Science and Engineering.

He was the lead author on a 2017 paper that warned that failing to change methods 'significantly threatens' the nation's roads.

Underwood said he's seen some progress. He pointed to an online tool developed by federal officials that uses site-specific climate data to help engineers select the correct blend of binders for asphalt pavement. Roads in Arizona, for example, need to be drilled than those in Minnesota in our two-fits-high temperatures.

The regional recipes for new roads have changed over the years, like how the U.S. Agriculture Department updated its plant hardware over map to account for warm-weather plants covering further north those days.

Road engineers also are superheating with other ways to prevent the nation's roadblocks.

'It's really taken off in the last 10 to 10 years,' said Kim Buckley, professor emerita in 1981 and environmental engineering at George Washington University.

Some asphalt roads — which can soften the shoreline chip cookies — are now shared with

plastic polymers for better rigidity. Buckles said.

Several cities have tested out what is essentially white asphalt, to reflect more heat. San Antonio, Phoenix and Los Angeles have launched 'ood pavement' pilot programs.

New Jersey has stopped building concrete roads with asphalt

on top due to better temperatures, calling it an enclosed design, lethagons said. Next year, it plans to repair concrete pavement sinks along 12 miles of Robertson 247, in part to get ahead of potential future blowups caused by the heat.

Railroads are struggling with better days, too.

Metal trucks can bend to extreme summer heat, causing what's known as a 'sun kind' as rails aren't been against the law. That can cause trains to derail. Train operators have responded by stopping up rail inspections and going slower during heat waves.

Washington's Metro-save 'heat

ride' inspections to look for rails reaching 150 degrees, the trigger for speed restrictions. Amtrak runs into the problem as often that it takes an agitated page on its website as customers understand who trains might run slower during heat waves.

In February, a trade group for public transit agencies issued

'I do think there is a recognition that [road] specifications and standards are static, but weather patterns are changing.'

Bowe Underwood, an engineering professor at North Carolina State University

new guidelines 'to improve its resilience to climate hazards,' with ideas such as replacing wood line with concrete cabs.

Union Pacific, one of the nation's largest freight railroads, said this summer it was speaking white paint on its rail network in some places to cool the metal, becoming a page from European railroads.

The first time that Bowe pick-up truck was not the first time extreme summer heat caused by the heat, the U.S. Highway 94.

Just three weeks earlier and several weeks a different section of the highway also maintained to the heat when the asphalt pavement softened and vehicles pulled up the roadway in climate.

It was a issue that it was so much for what was to come.

The vital risks of the pavement blowup was the talk of the town, and it meanwhile spokesman Daniel Burke.

'I was shocked,' he said. 'You don't ever want your road buckling — and definitely not like that.'

After 17 hours stranded, rescue workers pull 30-pound dog off side of a cliff

Extended search led to drone spotting of Carl, who needed help

BY MAGGIE PENMAN

Scott Grinsom brings his 30-pound dog Carl with him everywhere: road trips, fishing expeditions, hiking trails.

"This dog has just been my buddy," Grinsom said of Carl.

Grinsom brought Carl home as a puppy while he was in the depths of grief. Grinsom's wife was killed in a robbery at their home in Memphis in 1997.

For roughly 17 harrowing hours last week, Grinsom wondered whether he was going to fear Carl, too.

On Aug. 13, Grinsom and Carl went to a friend's farm 40 minutes west of Nashville, a place they have visited together dozens of times.

"It's dog heaven around there," the friend, Reenman Brockenridge, said of his farm in Charlotte, Tennessee.

Carl and other dogs usually go off knack there to explore the farm and speak to the creek. Carl, 3, is a Lagotte Romagnolo, an Italian brand known for mid-fa training.

A group of friends met Grinsom at the farm, and the men and their dogs went swimming, then drove to a lookout point above a cliff on a neighboring farm a little before 4 p.m.

After a few minutes of taking in the late-adventure view, the group went to leave and called for their dogs. Carl didn't come.

"Then we heard him looking down the side of the cliff. And this is a 200-foot drop, straight wall going down," said Grinsom, 65.

Grinsom and his friends spent hours searching for the dog, trying to follow the sound of his back. They didn't know whether he had slipped and fallen, landing on the chestnuts below or if he was stuck somewhere along the cliff face. The echoes of his looking made it hard to locate him.

The men called the sunshine and property owner — and his son, who had a drone.

"I got that call and I immediately drove out there and got my drone and started looking for the dog," said Bert Echols, 53.

Echols and his dad looked for the dog until the early morning hours, around 3 a.m.

"I'm a big dog person and I was just so determined to find this dog. I almost didn't sleep the whole night," Echols said. "I know that dog was so special to Scott."

Finally in the first light of the morning, Echols spotted Carl with his drone. Carl was perched on a tiny large ice much bigger than his body about 100 feet down from the lookout point, just outside a small cave where he likely had taken refuge overnight.

They called a nonemergency county number for help, and entered no size would come.

"We were out in the middle of nowhere," Grinsom said. "When going to come out and take the time to get a dog?"

Then first responders showed up from four local fire departments, ready with rappelling equipment.

"This is the cool part of the job," said Ben Marberry, a firefighter with the Indiana County Fire Department who used ropes to lower himself down the side of the cliff to reach Carl.

He worked with a team man-

Scott Grinsom brought Carl home as a puppy. Now, he brings him everywhere, from road trips to hiking trails. "This dog has just been my buddy," Grinsom said.

"I'm a big dog person and I was just so determined to find this dog. I almost didn't sleep the whole night... I know that dog was so special to Scott."

Bert Echols, who, after searching with his dad until around 3 a.m., found Carl with his drone.

aging the ropes at the top of the cliff, and another receiver, Nathan Barnes, who issued him on the side of the cliff.

When they reached Carl, he seemed exhausted and unborn but waggled his tail.

The two men guided Carl into a drilled bag that a firefighter had given them so they could head him back up the cliff. Carl popped his head out of the bag as they slowly eased him back up.

At the top, he was reunited with Grinsom, who said he was too nervous to even watch the rooms, which took about 30 minutes and was completed around 11 a.m.

"I couldn't watch. I was ... crying out to God to save this dog," Grinsom said.

Carl was thirsty and seemed shaken, but did not appear hurt. Still, Grinsom brought the dog to an emergency clinic where a

vet confirmed that Carl had only minor injuries and prescribed an anti-inflammatory drug similar to ibuprofen. After a couple days of stiffness, Carl seemed back to normal, Grinsom said.

"Not running around and chasing balls like nothing ever happened," Grinsom said.

Grinsom credits the teamwork of the first responders, as well as Echols for helping to locate Carl. Echols credits his teenage years spent playing value games.

"They say Xbox is not very good for you, but it created drone skills for me that saved Carl's life," Echols said.

Brockenridge said he hopes Grinsom still starts and brings back his dog.

"I think Carl is going to be on a knack next time," Brockenridge said.

Grinsom, Carl and march and rescue workers. First responders showed up from four local fire departments, with some using ropes to lower themselves down the side of the cliff to reach Carl.

Abbott: Muslim washing stations in two Texas airports are discriminatory

The salvo comes amid rising attacks on Muslims by GOP elected officials

BY MORAN MICHIGAN-YEVER AND MICHAEL E. BOURGELER

BOURGELER — For years, therefore passing through Texas's two biggest airports have had access to small washing stations for a citad called wudu, in which Muslims come their hands, arms, head and feet before the five daily prayers.

Each facilities have become more common in states with the largest Muslim population, including Texas, where on Wednesday travelers and others prepare in and out of washing stations at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The third wudu room sits along an airport hall just past a week ago, and the second is a small sign showing a dogged person kneeling.

Public wudu stations are also open at places including the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan, Lallaneda Airport in New York and certain International Airport in Chicago.

Now, amid rising attacks on Muslims by Republican elected officials, Texas-Gov. Greg Abbott is making the stations a target. He sent a letter Friday to the heads of the Houston airport and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport that said facilities aimed at serving one religious group are discriminatory against everyone else.

Abbott said he has asked the Transportation Department to investigate both airports and women that his office is "covering all grants to any local governmental entities involved in these schemes."

Later that day, DFW announced it had stopped plans to add additional washing stations in meets and women's restrooms that are available to passersby outside the security perimeter.

Airport spokesman: Hirah Montgomery wrote in an email that officials "determined the originally anticipated benefit may not be achieved" if the stations were built.

Asked if the decision was a response to Abbott's letter, Montgomery said it was made before the letter was issued, but that airport officials "were aware of his and other public officials' emerging concerns."

Muslim leaders and experts in religious Muslims rejected Abbott's claim that the facilities would discriminate against non-Muslims. Several said opposition to the washing stations is the latest example of GOP leaders, perhaps most visible in Texas's visiting airport hides.

"If there is one thing all religious liberty scholars and advocates across the ideological spectrum have agreed on, it is that the Free Exercise Clause forbids government discrimination because of religion," Steven T. Collin, a University of Texas at Austin law professor, said in an email. "Although Gov. Abbott's letter characterized what the airports were providing as discriminating in favor of Muslims, this newest saga is actually part of a much broader pattern of state officials targeting Muslims and trying to make Texas an inhospitable place for them."

Aaron Gildas, a constitutional law scholar who writes about Islam in America, said the Supreme Court has long ruled that neutrality "does not mean that every religion gets treated exactly equally; it means the government cannot coerce, endorse, or have the hand on religious identity."

The experts noted a range of public services targeted to specific groups from border food served as airports to special low-sensory hours at museums or parks for artistic people. The public-private Texas waterpark chain Hawaiian Hills has hosted events for Christians including "Moderate Matters" and more haptones. President Dean Bill Irving that summer's hosted a massive evangelical Christian worship event on the National Mall in 1915.

"We can choose to be one about it and pretend like there are actually sophisticated ideas or sincere concerns here about discrimination," religious correspondent, public safety or spending," said Susan Omar Aldinsah, who leads the third task Rogers Institute outside Dallas. "As we can embrace the just that bigotry toward Muslims in also, and well and being banned, limited and fueled to no crime, in Texas and across the country.

that phenomenon."

Abbott's office declined to comment Wednesday, rejecting The Washington Post to social media posts in which he repeated his claim that the washing stations were religious discrimination.

"The office also noted a Sunday interview on Fox News in which Abbott was asked why he opposes the stations but supports a new state law mandating the posting of a Protestant version of the Sin Commandments in every classroom.

Abbott called the two things "apples and oranges." The biblical commandments he said, were part of Texas history all the way up until "who we are today," while "other faiths" don't have "the same applications over the course of history of the state of Texas and hence don't need to be recognized."

Aldinsah, who uses airport wudu stations when he's handing, called the washing facilities an important part of making Muslims comfortable and described Abbott's letter as part of a movement looking to curtail that group's religious freedom.

"Putting more feet in the nasty sink of a public restroom — often trying to carefully ensure that no part of the body touches some yucky bathroom surface

while balancing on one leg — isn't really something Muslims are thrilled to be doing," he said. There are about 4/5 million Muslims in the United States and about 3/3,000 in Texas, according to the World Population Review. Muslims have become more visible in American public life in recent years, with milestones including the election of Mayor Edmon Manahan (D) in New York and the Michigan Democratic primary win of Abdul El-Sheed, who would become the nation's first Muslim

U.S. senator if for debate for Republican opponent this fall.

At the same time, said Muslim nominees has become more public and more pointed.

"The blatant and mainstreaming of Islamophobia is worse than after (the Sept. 15, 2010, attacks)," said Hario Stein, vice president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, an advocacy group that focuses on policies of interest to U.S. Muslims.

week described Democratic candidates in the uniform elections as "Muslims" (Author Kim month, Rep. Nancy Mass (B-Korth Carolina) said "every single Muslim holding public office in America is a Tristan horse."

The growth of Muslim communities in Texas is impossible to miss.

The Houston area is now home to Texas's largest Muslim community, with more than 100 mosques and Islamic centres. The Muslim population in the Dallas-Fort Worth area doubled in a decade, and Muslim state lawmakers represent suburban districts in both the Dallas and Houston metro areas.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire released a statement in response to Abbott's letter saying 22 percent of all international travelers departing from Terminal D — where the wudu station is — are flying an airliner based in Muslim-manicity countries. "Still is a global gateway," Whitmire wrote. "The ablation room was created in response to passenger requests and serves a practical need."

Last year, Abbott designated Gov. Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, as a foreign terrorist group. He and Paxton fought to revoke the group's nonprofit status, a move that Collin has challenged in court.

Abbott has also led GOP efforts to block a residential development planned around a large mosque complex in the Dallas area.

Some officials denied Islamophobic attacks across the state's nuclear program until a judge ordered them not to. At the Texas GOP convention in Houston in June, Republicans added to their platform a provision banning "sharia" or Islamic law, even though sharia law does not apply under U.S. civil law.

THE WORLD

Russia bombards Kyiv as fight over wartime elections erodes political unity

By DIANA L. STERN AND ANANIVATA GALOPOVSKA

KHV — An Ukraine confronted a serious favour in national unity — not off on Wednesday when the country's popular former defense minister demanded war-time elections — Russia bombarded Kyiv with an hours-long barrage of enemies and dozens overnight, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more.

The on-defense minister, Mikhaila Prokovs who is a key contributor to Ukraine's recession from program, was abruptly fired last month by President Vladyslav Zelenadiy, disintegrated prisoner. He received an offer of another government post and instead has challenged Zelenadiy by calling for elections.

But some political actors are working that a won during wartime — which would require changes to Ukrainian constituents and other laws — could aid Russia by destabilizing the government, exacerbating societal divisions and distracting from the military's defense against the ongoing tensions and air attacks.

"People understand that elections during the war are in the country hands," an opposition member of parliament, Roman Luytskyt, posted on Facebook on Wednesday, following the driver's remarks. "It will be a war of all against all, a hold for lakes and municipalities. A turn and already wounded society," Luytskyt wrote.

Luytskyt noted that according to Ukraine's constitution, parliamentary elections are forbidden during martial law international election reports have also said it is virtually impossible to hold a free and fair vote with millions of civilians displaced by the war and handouts of thousands of soldiers-deprived.

To hold presidential elections, Luytskyt's worst, Ukraine must "find a solution not only for the method of only voting, but also for dozens of other unresolved 'little things.'"

Melvita Kuzaletskyt, a member of the opposition European Solidarity party, said on social media that "decisions divide society even in peacetime."

Said elections under rocket fire will inevitably turn the issue of war and peace into the main subject of political bargaining," Kuzaletskyt said. "The winner will be the one who can meet continuously and the simplest promise of a quick end to the war to society."

The fierce, hours-long Russian attack overnight highlighted how Ukraine is defamation against ballistic missiles, as it bales interception for 12-Avstropod Period on missile systems. Interception are in short supply because of the Trump oil manufacturers ongoing war with Iran.

There is massive attack. The Russians had been preparing for a long time, combining different types of ballistic missiles, counter missiles, and dozens, aiming to cause as much damage as possible to certain infrastructure, Zelenadiy wrote on social media.

In addition to the dead and wounded in the capital, one person was killed in the Kyiv region and killed by the Soviet city of Zljetonov, local officials said, while dozens more were injured in Ukraine. "It was a good idea that it had done 20 out of six crams missiles and left out of 100 dozens — but in keeping with a new policy, it did not give the

number of ballistic missiles fired by the Russians.

Large explosions in the capital shortly after midnight indicate all that Moscow forces targeted Kyiv with a significant number of ballistic and hyperwater missiles.

"A horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv," Foreign Minister Andrei Sykhla wrote on X. "This was one of the most brutal Russian attacks to date, with ballistic missiles causing down on our capital one after another."

Sykhla pleaded for assistance from other nations. "We know partners who can deliver these interceptions, and we urge them once again to act without delay.

Every delay is measured in the most lives," he wrote.

In one Kyiv district, night people died after "the upper floors of a 9-story residential building were destroyed and a few broke out," and falling debris "caused a fire in a society building (not the top floors)," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitshko wrote on Shleysom.

Russia's Defense Ministry said on Thursday that it had carried out 75 massive strike with hand, air, and sea-based previous weapons — on military-industrial enterprises, a transport and logistics center, and warehouses in the city of Kyiv and Kyiv region.

But would the strikes, or the

war in general, stop, Kremlin spokesman, Deputy Police said in a briefing with journalists on Wednesday.

In the past, given the position of the Kyiv region, there are no grounds for optimism regarding a peaceful settlement. The situation on the front lines is well known," Police said.

Meanwhile, Ukraine continued to go people with the political fallout on country's support.

In a video address on social media, late Tuesday, Prokovs said that Ukraine "must find a legal, safe and realistic mechanism that will allow Ukraine to restore a full democratic process even amid a prolonged war"

Damage from the overnight Russian missile and drone attack.

Democracy, he said, "cannot be held looking for Russia."

One European diplomat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to Ukraine sounded, "Ukrainian politics, said Prokov's remarks were a 'a political mandator' and 'a clear break with the Zelenadiy team.'"

"I think he has a strong political instinct when it comes to understanding the opposition of the Ukrainian middle class," the diplomat said. "It is still too early to say whether he will actually manage to keep this issue on the political agenda. At the same time, I consider his call for election-dangerous."

Luytskyt, the opposition

member of parliament, said Ukraine was not prepared for elections and would need to create infrastructure and communications that could organize voting by the millions of Ukrainians away from home, either living abroad, internally displaced or serving in the military.

"Building elections that will be dislocated within the country or that are not recognized by the partners on whom we now depend is a failing time break," he wrote. "And the enemy will definitely want to take advantage of this."

Ex-premier is moved to private hospital

Impressed former Pakistan Prime Minister Hasan Khan was taken to a private hospital in the capital after midnight Thursday for medical treatment. He performed, hours after a minor Cabinet minister pledged to comply with a Supreme Court order order.

The minister also said the government could consider treatment abroad if adequate care was unavailable at a government facility.

Khant Pakistan Tehroko-dosol party in PTI, said in a statement that he was transferred from Ashida prison to al-fakhi International Hospital in Islamabad after a Supreme Court order earlier this week. The party provided no further details.

It was unclear whether Khan would be returned to prison after the examination or allowed

to remain at the hospital for medical treatment.

The development came hours after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq, Rasul Choudhuri said the government had approached the Supreme Court to seek clarification on whether the medical relief granted to Khan applied only to the former premier or could be introduced to other prisoners.

Choudhuri's comments came two days after a three-talky Supreme Court panel ordered authorities to take Khan to al-fakhi International Hospital for a medical examination, following months of interview from his hands and personal physicians about his health and access to medical care.

Prince Harry and Meghan's return from California exile sets U.K. aflutter

BY STEEN HENDRICK AND VICTORIA CRANE

Littleton! — Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are moving back into the heart of the kingdom: they find on years ago, sending Britain's two-fifths-missed royal exceptions — and the vexatious tabloids that come in — into untuition of speculation. What, exactly, to make of them now?

As the couple and their children, Prince James I, and Prince Lillian, I, prepare to visit their exile on the California coast, palace watchers and there is little precedent for top-ten retails who pulled themselves off the family's active lineup to return to the monarchy as self-detitioned civilians.

A few unanswered questions correct on the long-running dispute over who should you to keep their denominations high-mean safe. So far, there is no official word on what if any security arrangements will be made for the family; when they set up a non-palatial household outside London.

There are also uncertainties surrounding their social standing, including participation in formal and private family events in such a way as the Royal Family of Lillian.

Lillian should also restrain the six retails ahead of her at time to the throne, would be the first California, and, instead English queen, born within three miles of the main Burbance's isolation tower.

Harry fifth in line, and Meghan gave up their status as working revals in 2020, citing what they later described, in a 2021 House Warden interview and subsequent Smiths documentary review, as an arrangement for and at times outside the state-the-cross institution's criticism that seemed to offend not only the family but much of the retails.

The couple developed to North America, shielding the official duties, security detail and professional delivery that came with the name, while retaining their title, they place in the name of the family's own, and they pull on the public inauguration plans for ourselves on off

by their return.

Perhaps the foremost question on British minds is: Why return to a country where they have considered a vexatious — and now surely salivating — inside his life? And, why now?

Within hours of news of the self-coded couple's return — first reported by London's Daily Telegraph and the first — speculators over motive and timing filled articles and social media posts.

Theorem have ranged from Harry's housewishness to the health of his father, King Charles III (who is being treated for cancer), to financial concerns with their U.S.-based documentary and wellness enterprises.

Jan Lloyd, a royal biographer and commentator, said he was still resting from the unexpected of yesterday.

Lloyd said he believes the estate may also tap into an awareness as Harry's part of any patching-up of royal relationships must be from while

Charles is on the throne, given his letter off with his other brother, William, the Prince of Wales and likely next monarch.

The known that in future if William is king, there is services—or getting back into the first! he said:

But other questions abound: 'We still don't know where they are going to live and where the children are going to go to school.' Lloyd said.

Harry and his wife will re-live home as private citizens — not tenants of the system they walked away from to set up life in Northern California, but not quite ourselves to it, either. Nobody, including the family itself, seems entirely sure where they loaves them.

'There is a critical part of me that thinks their time in America has not been very productive,' Lloyd said in a phone interview. 'Framing, citing the couple's previous deals with Spotify and Netflix.

One commenter said there was just too much one in Minnesota, California — the couple's adopted home — for an English interview, another noted that their inverse concern in California nearly sparkled them for a break on British land.

Harry previously had said he would not return without government-provided security. So his family, arguing that he gave up his job but not his role profile.

He spent years in British courts arguing, and ultimately losing, a case to keep the armed police protection he had as a working royal. A Court of Appeal Judge ruled in May 2020 that he 'could not say the high-course of grievous translation into a legal argument for a challenge.'

A separate push to simply put the Metropolitan Police protection himself was also reported. Government lawyers argued that wealthy people should not be allowed to 'buy' police guards.

While based in California, the couple have paid for private security to protect them at home and on the road.

It was unclear if anything had shifted to the government's reluctance to provide full-time security now that the family would once again reside in Britain.

Harry visited Charles in July, along with Archie and Lillian, apparently the first time for long had seen his grandkids in free years.

Prince Minister Andy Burnham said the couples' security arrangements were a 'private matter.'

'It's a matter for Harry and his Meghan, and we wish them well in the move that they are making,' Burnham said. 'I'm not so daring a visit to Scindale on Thursday.'

The House Officer on Thursday declined to comment, telling us present: 'The U.K. Government's protective security system is objective and proportionate. It is our long-distance service. It is to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as during so could companies from integrity and affect individual security.'

But there were signs that the possibility of state-banned security has being maintained, even before the couple's return was reported.

Separately from his failed court appeal, the body in charge of royal security, the flood and VIP Executive Committee, opened a new review of Harry's security status in December 2020.

The reason was to conclude: a formal risk assessment of his family that had been allowed to lapse in his absence from commentators speculated that ruling left the first open for the resumption of full protection in the throne.

Then there's the social choreography.

A person familiar with the king's thinking, who spoke to the condition of uncertainty to discuss royal family affairs, said he was not a 'few days' — but he had to 'build on, half-out' arrangements, solving a policy set by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

So that legal view, Harry and Meghan will remain nonsmoking

revals on matter where they reside, but that distinction may be difficult to hold up once they're actually living down the road.

'Even if they are not working revals, they are going to rival the royal family.' Lloyd said, noting by thought he marks would be 'delighted' for their return given that the climaxed-down number of working revals includes just four people under 70: William, his, his wife, Catherine (late Middleton), Francis (to Wales), etc. Prince Edward (he king's brother), 82, and his wife, 80.

'Everybody will be fighting to get Harry and Meghan at every kind of thing,' Lloyd said. 'He just not going to go down very well with William and Father too.' He predicted even ceremonial set pieces, such as the bare family, and the behavioural walls to church, could turn 'thought.'

Harry and Meghan's own children, mournish, are reportedly satisfied to hold at command of the people. 'It's a standard and both return with their titles intact.'

Buckingham Palace confirmed in 2020 that the two children could not the power and pressure titles under a 1917 provision covering the monarchy grandchildren. This can expect plenty of media attention as they grow.

Some commentators said the situation is stepping up to resemble the kind of federal, policy-province role that Harry had sought for his family where relations with his wider family had curated following his marriage to Meghan Mobile, an American actress.

But his grandkids, Elizabeth, refused such an arrangement, declaring there would be no 'built-in, half-out' revals.

One, however, Harry and Meghan may have gotten 'we will' what they wanted,' said Camille Sussman, revals reporter for the Telegraph.

'They keep the manners in Monticello, they keep a base in the U.K., they educate their children here, and they can be chastically things but not be hit in football revals.' Sussman said in a video posted Thursday on it. 'That sounds to me like the half-in, half-out behind role they sought back in 2020.'

"Nations have solved his problem," he said.

The map Trump posted on Tuesday, showing a circle around the Strait of Hormuz under a heading that read "SOM U.S. Territory" prompted widespread counteraction.

"The post followed earlier claims by Trump that he would declare the waterway to be U.S. countries. But the map must be a good way to victory of Oman, the U.S. and Iran.

"No secretary of State, the prime National Security Com-

cil, Mohsen Rezaei, responded to the map with a note, saying the "gap between America's inability to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and its claim to own it is greater than the TAND-mile distance between Washington and the Strait itself."

"Welcome to the post-American order in the Persian Gulf," Rezaei wrote on X. "Some dreams are too far from reality."

Trump's Hussan on Wednesday of new sanctions appeared to up the auto, with the president saying that "Economic Warfare and Relations" against Iran would be "on an unprecedented scale."

He added that 1957 country that allows its financial satisfaction, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of failure to Iran will itself face THEMEDIOUS Eco-

ments' Consequences."

"50 smuggling, away lines, cash transfers, exchange income, ship registries, front companies

— It all needs to stop NOW," he said. "You know who you are. This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAE, and we need all of our allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat."

The U.S. on Tuesday had said that it would cut all trade ties with Iran, which is one of its biggest trading partners.

That announcement came after Trump and Russian President Shania Mohamed bin Zainal al-Fahran spoke by phone.

Edward Fishman, senior fellow and director of the Mautian K. Goundung Center for Geosciences at the Council on Foreign Relations, said that Trump

does make threats like those on Wednesday with little interest through.

Iran, Fahman noted, has been under U.S. sanctions since 2016. So Trump's remaining concern is to camp up sanctions on Iran's partners, including China, the Gulf and Turkey, he said.

Other options include targeting funds and reference buying small amounts of human energy and sanctioning banks that hold capital assets overseas.

"It's not a huge lot," Fishman said. "So there's really not much need to do unless you're truly willing to completely threaten the entire world with being cut off from the U.S. economy if they transmit with Iran."

"I don't really the rest of Trump's post stapled, Fishman said. But he added, 'I just don't believe that's the future.'"

Trump's rising frustration puts allies in the Persian Gulf — who long sought to avoid the war and have been the threat of Iranian military aggression — as a tight spot.

Samuel Renain, who served on a major sanctions secretary of state for Arabian Peninsula affairs in the Italian administration, said he expects countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar or the Gulf to continue a plan of "balancing act" — maintaining close ties with the United States, while not in a possible agreements with Iran.

"They're trying to create options for themselves so that they aren't caught the honest no matter what happens," Renain said.

Gulf states are exploring diplomatic recommendations with Iran, such as an agreement Oman is trying to secure that man includes a toll for vessels suing the waterway, he said.

In the same time, he added, they are expanding infrastructure to bypass the strait.

Renain said he would not be interested in eventually some Gulf states support the Oman deal to manage the strait jointly with Iran and change cargo vessels a lot.

"With the right by had they would support it," he said, acknowledging that such a deal isn't done. "It's more important," he added, "to keep the Mettina of their economies open."

Trump is a 'bad person,' Canadian provincial leader says in trade flap

BY BOB GILLES

Associated Press

TORONTO — The premier of a Canadian province launched a blistering attack on President Donald Trump on Thursday, calling Iran a "bad person" and "not to be trusted" and saying Canada to keep fighting other than that to make concessions in trade talks with Washington.

Manitoba, Premier, Wife Kinew said Canada has leverage to the talks even as the previous weight restricting U.S. alcohol sales at Prime Minister Mark Carter's urging to help secure a "bad person" and even discontented 50 percent U.S. tariffs.

Terenlooks knows the American president for now, but certain, yet unresponsible, and has not to be trusted. And like in the person that we were supposed to make a deal with, and we're going to make additional concessions for it. That's why I say you can't make a good deal with a bad person, because what's to say it's not going to be undone? Kinew said.

Dominic Ludlum, the federal minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, said Thursday the two countries were close to finalizing an agreement after he returned to Washington to meet again with U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Gray.

"We're sure close. We continue to make progress," he said, adding that Canadian officials would remain in Washington to keep working on the deal. Trump has called the emerging agreement "very far" to both sides, while tariffs on about $10 billion worth of Canadian exports have been post-produced until 12:01 a.m. Saturday. Neither side has released the full record.

Despite his criticism at Trump, Kinew said Manitoba may go along with Carter's request as part of a "State Canal" approach. But he urged consumers to keep buying Canadian goods in a country without provincial liquor stores. Other provincial leaders, including the president of Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, have publicly backed the dissenters' memory negotiation.

Newfoundland and Labrador

Premier Tony Wakeham said all promises agreed during Wednesday's call with Carter to return U.S. alcohol to store shelves, although not every promise has publicly confirmed that position.

"I think we should fight. I think Donald Trump is very weak. I think America is weaker around the world today than it was a war ago. We're about to get slaughtered in the uniforms and the cost of living in the number one issue and he's completely out of touch with the cost of living of America's Kinew said.

"We've got the upper hand. They are back on their heels right now. They are coming to us for a deal right now."

Kinew said he understood Carter's request to mean that restoring U.S. alcohol sales was

effectively necessary to complete the deal. The provincial bans on U.S. alcohol have been a particular irritant for the Trump administration, which has proved Canada to remove restrictions that sharply reduced American liquor sales.

Provincial governments do not have a win over the overall Canada-U.S. agreement, but they control measures such as liquor laws and some procurement rules that have become part of the negotiations.

Hight in Canada's 10 provinces so matrix or ban U.S. alcohol—measures imposed in conditions for Trump's province tariffs on Canadian goods and amid anger for the imposed talk of making Canada the 51st U.S. state.

Kinew said Carter strongly

proved promises to restore U.S. alcohol sales while other details of the agreement were old before finalized. "I wouldn't say that he was begging me, but what is the only before begging?" Kinew said.

Ontario, Canada's most populous province, is especially important for government cost (C$6), one of the world's largest alcohol purchasers, sold nearly 1 billion Canadian dollars (PCD millions) worth of U.S. products annually before getting them from shelves last year.

Ontario Premier Doug Reid, who has clashed with Doug in here, has not yet commented on the emerging deal.

Kinew said Canadians should not buy American products even if they remain.

"When we put the American boom back on the Liquor Mart shelves, Canadians, have a there-lipped your means on Canadian products that are going to employ people in our country and that have an administration that respects Canada," Kinew said.

Kinew also said Manitoba could agree to remove formal restrictions on U.S. companies and products, including procurement preferences, while continuing to force Canadian suppliers in its own purchasing.

Kinew said he preferred to keep fighting, noting the Republican president's tendency to love extremely high import taxes and then retreat. He mentioned what's known as the "GAG" trade, an accretion coined by the Financial Times' Robert Armstrong that stands for "Trump's Always Chickens On!"

"We we expect that this is going to be the end of Donald Trump!" Kinew said.

Quebec Premier Christine Ehrlichon, meanwhile, said that our bad answered many of her questions about the emerging agreement but stopped short of endorsing it while the province was not able to make impact. She said Quebec could restore U.S. alcohol to shelves at the 54th, and also government corporations that control most other and spirits sales in the province, but stressed that the decision would be Quebec's.

Making sense of this week's unsettled bond market

By Darren J. Lewen AND Robert Thurston

On Thursday, the bond market damaged off Treasury. Research fund Research unusual effort to fund off rising government low interest rates. The results, ending the 30-year bond yield rose to 5.17 percent before settling back down to 5.24 percent, causing more than half the drop in costs that had covered Research market intervention.

Research on Wednesday said that Treasury would at least double a planned backback of long-term Treasury securities from $15 billion to $6 billion or more, a move that quickly lowered yields and raised pressure on borrowing costs for governments, businesses and consumers. By experiencing government debt from private investors, Treasury aims to reduce the supply of such securities and bring yields down.

But yields rose again on Thursday, even as Record appeared on CERC in a bid to further measure bondholders.

Why is the bond market so skidded? Part of the problem is the size of the national debt, which that week for a new high of $40 trillion. The Trump administration not only has not put forward a plan for reducing borrowing, it has pushed through major economic policies that have helped make the situation worse.

Here's how the bond market got so trigger happy.

Why is the bond market important?

Of the 900 trillion, national debt, about $12 billion is held in investors and the public is the most of the money possible. When yields go up, it means investors are demanding a greater return on their money and that borrowing will cost Washington office to the worst-case scenario, it could also signal that investors are losing confidence in the future. The bond is limited to make good on its promises to pay off its debt, though recent demand for Treasury suggests we are noxious near that crisis point.

Meanwhile, higher Treasury yields might miss mortgage rates, corporate debt and other borrowing, worsening affordability problems throughout the economy.

What happened this week?

Tuesday, the returns that in-venture demanded on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds spiked to their highest level in nearly two decades — about 15 percent. In response, Record doubled the

trials down to 7.9 percent and boosted stock prices, but analysis seemed those efforts were likely to be short-lived.

Lawrence Gillette, chief fund investor municipal for LPL Financial, called Research announcement "more about a strategy, producing links to actual debt. The size of the backback wasn't meaningful in the 5th trillion. Treasury market, Gillette said in minded commentary: 'But it is a reminder that the Treasury Department is paying attention and will do whatever it can to keep stable from getting too high too quickly.'

Has the administration reduced borrowing?

No. As a candidate, Donald Trump promised to eliminate the federal budget deficit — the annual gap between revenue and spending that necessitates borrowing — and even pay off the current investment of $100 a fact, the debt has doubled since he lost took office. And the most recent policies have produced a

deficit that is expected to exceed $2 billion this year — more than 6 percent of the nation's gross domestic product, according to the comparison Congressional Budget Office.

In the past, Washington has run such measures to deficit with raising warrants for a successful crisis. Today the economy is at no cost full employment and growing.

Last week, Record blamed the Biden administration for the government's budget wave, but he acknowledged no intention with Norcross that Trump's tariff policy — and his signature was not — had contributed to the problem. In fact, Trump's tax cut measures, the One Big Beautiful Bill, will add an estimated 34.5 trillion to the debt over the next decade, according to the CBC.

Record told Norcross that a provision of the law allowing companies to immediately discontinue the tax on the tax rate is contributing to this year's median deficit. "That is a bit now to the deficit, but we are

creating productive assets for future growth, which will be paying taxes all the way down the line. In 1 think of that move so like pulling back a shingled and creating a lot of potential energy that becomes kinetic," he told the conservative cable channel. — The CBC said that the bill will add hundreds of billions of dollars to deficit every year over the next decade, though the negative impact does get somewhat greater over time.

Why is the bond market so nervous?

The sell-off this week in U.S. Treasury securities — at $13 billion, the world's largest financial market — came amid surging public debt in the United States, Europe, Japan and Canada, renewed profits in the Middle East, and uncertainty about the Federal Reserve intentions on interest rates.

Much of the bond market's unsettling tumult results from basic supply and demand. In governments and corporations

The CBC will add hundreds of billions of dollars to deficit every year over the next decade, though the negative impact does get somewhat greater over time.

In this atmosphere of economic uncertainty, economists say it would be wise for the Trump administration to come up with a plan to continue borrowing. Trump has never offered such a plan, however, and is pressing Congress to increase borrowing to pump hundreds of billions of additional dollars into the Pentagon and his way with loan.

Despite the recent pullback, mortgage rates have been slowing, and this is not a warning home lessee' purchasing power. Earned rates can lead prospective home shoppers to delay

Mortgage rates are influenced by several factors, including inflation, broader policy rate decisions from the Federal Reserve and expectations from bond market investors for the economy. They generally follow the trajectory of the 30-year Treasury crisis, which enables use as a guide to pricing home loans.

Both mortgage rates and the bond market have been mostly rising this year due to the U.S. war with Iran, which has fueled expectations for better inflation.

Even 12/8, the parent company of budget-conscious bureau Of Mass and Marshalls, reported slower sales growth for the division that includes those two chains. But the company said the issues were "self-inflicted."

"We could have been sharp to its turning, the right goods in the right stores at the right time," CEO Ernie Hermann said Wednesday on a call after reporting earnings.

Hermann said he's confident the company will see improvement in time for holiday shopping.

Meanwhile, Target reported strong sales this week, as the company continues its turnaround with new CEO Michael Faldella, who took the helm in February. The retailer posted sales growth of more than 5 percent over the past year, and raised its outlook for the rest of the fiscal year.

Retailer earnings this week generally covered the period between April and June, when many Americans still had large or than-savanna refunds in their pockets. Those stimulus checks are now gone. Plus, fast costs and many groceries were higher during this period because of the war. More recently inflation has

The end of the year is typical. It is time for huge sales events, especially around the holidays. Increasingly, experts say, people are holding out for sales to buy up-sales' items, which could boost spending. Promotions in June, including Amazon Prime Day, helped bolster consumer strength.

Both Walmart and Target are prioritizing value and cutting prices where they can to reach a careful consumer, said Aron Sandman, senior vice president of equity research at CFRA.

"It's a resilient but cautious consumer," Sandman said. "That's kind of been the theme for a few years now."

Target said it has lowered prices on 10,000 items in the last year, and that 95 percent of its school supplies are the same price or lower than last year.

Many of the major retailers are also seeing big boosts from tariff refunds, which started ill-fasting in earlier this year after the Supreme Court in February proclaimed President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs.

Consumers do not generally get tariff refunds, even though they paid for the price taken caused by the circulated tariffs. But Sandman said he is seeing big penalties lower prices in response to tariff reimbursements.

AI is widening the gap between economic winners, everyone else

A1 78/197 A1

news history: Some influential economists assess that while recent technology revolutions created more jobs than they disclosed, they also widened inequality by walloping, middle-class workers and marching corporations and higher-income professionals. What happens if another inequality-speaking technology collides with already historically large U.S. income gaps and an economically pessimistic American public?

"AI may create many more billionaires and also reduce the real income of many households (as automation did for blue-collar workers)," Darren Acemoglu, who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in economics for studying prosperity gaps between countries, and in an email. "I am genuinely afraid that it would threaten social peace and the very foundations of democracy."

Rich-growing richer

Inequality long produced AI, and the future is not yet written for the technology of AI influence on American prosperity about half of American adults and roughly 1 in 5 U.S. businesses use AI technologies, but AI hasn't yet shaken society as raised unemployment.

But people are pointing to early signs of AI-related divides between haven and have-note—perhaps most notably in who is and not? Using the technology.

Workers and businesses in economically advantaged parts of the United States are business-

Putting away

An acid conversion spending by the top 20 percent of U.S. households by a higher amount than that of 80 percent

ing AI the most, according to research from sources such as the AI start-up Anthropic, the Brookings Institution and Oxford Economics. Three places include the San Francisco Bay Area and the cities and regions surrounding New York, Washington and Seattle. One of AI on a per-person basis is lowest in states including Mississippi, West Virginia and North Dakota, Anthropic data shows.

While it's common for new technologies to be adopted first by higher-income people and regions, Mark Marx of Brookings said that AI could costly the existing gap between America's

regional economic winners and lovers. For decades, he said, "no precise" cities and regions have leaped ahead as they reaped the biggest gains from an increasingly digital U.S. economy.

"We've seen this movie over and over," said Marx, a senior fellow at the Washington think tank. "AI will likely reinforce the existing innovations of the U.S. economic map."

Recent data from Anthropic, which publicly releases some information on how people use its Claude Gaillard, shows that low-affluent U.S. regions are catching up in AI usage. Marx also said that businesses and communities with higher AI use could lose jobs faster if companies replace workers with technology.

There's also a clear gap in which getting rich from AI mates in the stock market.

A jump in stock prices for AI-related companies accounts for the vast majority of gains in the S&P 500 stock index this year, according to the investment bank Goldman Sachs. Because the top 10 percent of U.S. households by income own nearly 60 percent of the country's stock market wealth, Federal Reserve data shows, they're the ones benefiting most.

The psychological boost people are getting from these stock pines — a phenomenon known as the "wealth effect" — is at betting the spending habits of more affluent Americans, said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics.

His firm's data shows that

over the past three years, spending growth among the richest 20 percent of U.S. households is about three times the rate of the bottom 40 percent. Emerctally, Zandi said, AI wealth is giving affluent Americans the freedom to spend on the products and activities like new clothes and eating out, while inflation is reading the purchasing power of everyone else.

Zandi said the entire U.S. economy is being prepped up by the spending of richer American-going gaps on AI-connected stock gains. But he also believes that the spending gap between richer households and the masses — which produced AI — is one reason for Americans' dissatisfaction with the economy.

"There would be one word in describe it," Zandi said. "AI is driving the spending train and the broader economic train."

Flickhörke on the horizon

Some economists and researchers are also worried that AI could worsen the prosperity gap in the United States known as the "labor versus capital divide." That's the split in national income between workers on one side and business owners and people who make money from their assets or investments on the other.

This year, just over half of the country's total economic output went to worker parachutes and benefits, according to Commerce Department data. It was the smallest slice of national income going to workers in 70 years. Meanwhile, the share of the eco-

nomic pie is growing for corporations and people who profit from investment gains.

Economists benefit in-ham the causes and size of that divide, which opened up long before AI came on the scene, but most of them believe that the gap has been widening for decades, especially since 2020.

Now a growing number of

Darren Acemoglu, a 2024 Nobel Prize in economics winner, said in an email

economic researchers believe that AI could make it worse — and even lead to worker uprisings.

Acemoglu and two collaboration recently released a draft research paper describing theoretical scenarios in which AI-related job destruction and inequality trigger revolts if they

further reduce workers' share of national prosperity.

Other economists, including Michael Braun at the American Enterprise Institute think tank, say it's counterproductive to speculate about the economic consequences of such a new technology.

Brann said AI could help reduce inequality. There are also signs that AI may be helping far more ordinary Americans start their own businesses, thanks to chatbots helping with logwork such as marketing and paperwork.

Two economics PhD students at Harvard University, Guy Lichtinger and Sereid M. Hussain, recently sketched out the possibilities of AI leading to either a utopian future of shared prosperity or a wildly unequal economy.

In an in-progress research paper, they say that AI could make rich people and companies even richer, including by making top-tier professionals like lawyers more valuable and pushing down prices for services they disproportionately buy, such as financial services. But Lichtinger and Hussain also write that AI could be a great equation; it less experienced and middle-income workers become more productive and AI reduces prices for things they buy.

Whether that vision of shared prosperity comes to pass largely depends on how lawmakers respond to AI's efforts on the economy, the day said in an interview "In the real the government is responsible," Lichtinger said.

FRIDAY OPINION

I see why this Black professor quit. But I wish he hadn't.

BY GARY ROSEN

The new cover story for the Atlantic magazine by Tyler Austin Harper is the most devastating indictment of the shockingly pervadedness of higher oil that fire road in a beautiful Europe arrived at Baton Rouge in March of 1927, was obtained, now 1929, in comparative literature, grateful for the tenure truck left that promised him that secret of prime them days — a career in the humanities.

But Harper is Black, and he quickly discovered that his race — and the views that were promoted to go with it — were far more important to his college and his colleagues than his actual object—why this was brought from his arms yet last year. "I was angry about the culture at Baton," he writes. "I was sick of being treated like a social prop rather than a professor, which included being continually recruited to do Minority Work.

Harper's cheapest and very public will will undoubtedly do some good, not least because he's a self-defense social database. However, when he hard for complicated liberals to dismiss. His case may only often debunk to speak up about his advocating intellectual conformity of the 1812 square. But it may also encourage them simply to halt outby quitting, he has become an outskirts, depriving Baton of a dynamic figure who might have agitated for change.

Harper's decision to escape to a perfectly unabstainable personal choice, but the criterion as unjustly needed in higher oil will be the work of scholars and administrators ready to fight for their own institutions, even at some cost to their comfort and standing on campus.

The great model in this regard is our former mother at Harvard University, the political favorite of the American University, which is the history of causing progressive orthodoxies in Cambridge has been a series of thankless luck. Scholars of a conservative text have also taken the lead in launching the centers of civic thought that have sprung up in recent years of public universities in red states each

as Texas, Florida and Ohio. An columnist George F. Will writes, these programs are based on the most uncontroversial notion that studying "the nation's intellectual parliament" is a worthwhile activity for young people emerging into citizenship.

Still, conservatives cannot fight those battles alone, not only because our numbers in the small erys are so small as success constantly created so; but also because it risks insidently and ignores the substantial common ground we share with many

on the campus centre-left. Here it is worth singling out two recent critiques, the political smokers who, though appalled by the Trump administration's crisis around it, the universities, understand why want to higher oil, especially at the elite level, has reached new lives.

The first is a report published in the spring by The University Committee on State in Higher Education. Its recommendations include, as a starting point, a revision and simplification of the university's mission statement, stripped of the faithful social

ly's mission statement, stripped of the faithful social and political goals called in recent years. More mission, the committee writes, should be its traditional one "to create, dissonance, and preserve knowledge through research and teaching." The university, the committee urges, must also treat free space as a "free principle" and work to "open minds" or campus to standard and political perspectives largely unrepresented in the curriculum.

A second report, issued around the same time for a group of distinguished scholars convened by Vanderbilt and Washington universities, takes a clear-end view of the state of research in the humanities and social sciences. While acting "an abundance of serious scholarship" in every field it investigated, the committee highlighted the many ways in which disinterested inquiry has been undermined in the name of "social justice," especially by others "to suppress exhausting that challenges a rapidly-embraced orthodoxy." As the report tuffs observers, by analogy about the most troubled fields "it and when the department of artscourse accepts into the department of artcology, it will at some point make a difference."

Program is also visible elsewhere. Andrew Dickinson, a scholar of American studies at Columbia University, is also an assistant at the Temple Institution, which is helping universities reestablish courses focused on many philosophical and literary texts as a "gateway" experience for undergraduates. The pedagogical aim of this return to the liberal arts, he writes, is taking the questions seriously, thinking before speaking, honoring the right of others to speak and be based "the judge that the task ahead is to." Make the Chairman of the Agency.

That's a motto to which I happily subscribe, as would many others in the same products of the right and the left who want to review and defend higher oil. I feel sure it's how Tyler Austin Harper can this own job during the lamentably short career at Baton.

After July 1776, the party ended quickly for George Washington

BY MICHAEL O'MANLON

Despite the lovely moment in Philadelphia with the Declaration of Independence's approval to early July 1776, that summer was a tough one for the nation's founders, George Washington in particular. The cost of that year — until Washington crossed the Delaware River and won the Battle of Trenton on Dec. 30 — would go down as the worst period of the Revolutionary War.

Throughout those unhappy months, the outcome of the war was very much in doubt. Trouble was hovering even before the founders adopted the Declaration as Philadelphia. On July 1, friends never under him. Without them, we opted that an island and sought to establish control of New York District Over the ensuing weeks, they returned to Long Island and prepared a major assault on Washington's forces.

Washington and his army had established elements of a defensive position on the island. But they were unprepared for the attack that came outnumbered, outnumbered and outthought. Washington's forces were defeated at the Battle of Long Island on Aug. 27 and had to escape across the East River to Manhattan.

This evacuation provided only a temporary response. British forces pursued Washington and his beleaguered army northward, forcing a battle at Daytona Heights, near the current location of Columbia University on Sept. 19. There, led by Kawahashi Rangers, the Continental held their own at first — but even had to fire north once more. The British again sought up to the Continental Army and achieved another decisive victory at the Battle of White Plains on Oct. 26.

Washington then directed the Continental Army to return to Manhattan and defend their Washington. But on Nov. 26, the army suffered another major defeat as thousands of troops were captured. What was left of Washington's raging army Bell through New Jersey to Pennsylvania, hoping to return the British and perhaps pick up reinforcements from patriotic colonists along the way.

Though reinforcements were generally not forthcoming, rebel and Colonial forces managed to stay one step ahead of the promising redcoats as the belligerents moved down; the Continental

Congress took precautions and evacuated indefensible Philadelphia. Portsmouth, Washington's troops survived at the Delaware River as worst as in — allowing them to commander local shipping and cross the river themselves, creating a defensive barrier against the British that promised to hold at least until the river from.

That creating of the Delaware westward bought the Continental Army time to cost and recover — and for Washington to regain his footing. An John Adams wrigly put it, collecting on the events of the previous months, "In general, our Generals were out generalled." But on Christmas night, Washington would cross back over the Delaware to strike unscrupulous and dispersed liberals and British forces at the Battle of Trenton. He would surprise the British again a week later at the Battle of Princeton.

That began a contemptuled strategy that Washington would employ as one form of another throughout the war. He generally achieved open-field battles except when conditions were favorable — as happened at thornings in 1777 and fruitown in 1795 — and instead relied on surprise and deception.

Washington was arguably the only American military commander in history to be the swallowed strategy during a major war. In other conflicts where the United States struggled initially, but later formed things around, a new military leader was needed to develop and implement a new strategy as happened when Gen. Ulysses Grant turned the title of the Civil War and when Gen. Matthew E. Ridgway outlawed Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the Korean War.

Before turning things around, Washington needed to rule out some tough experiences — and got a few lucky breaks along the war. The Fourth of July in 1776 was a short-lived party. Civilizations over the signing of the Declaration looked like a premature tuxet of King George III until the Continental Army's fortunes improved. Washington's perseverance might be the most important lesson from 1776 — one Americans can still absorb today.

Andrie Manuel López Beltrán, center, at a Morona party congress in Mexico City on May 3.

JOHN KRAUSE

The U.S. revoked a prominent Mexican's visa. Now rumors swirl.

Last week, Andrie Manuel López Beltrán, the son of former Mexican president in Latin Market López Olmedo, posted a copy of a new report, issued by President Donald Trump on Instagram, in which he accused the administration of revoking his visa on politically untreated grounds.

He accused Secretary of State Marco Beltrán and deputy mayor of State Christopher Landau, to unravel the personal terms, of working the occupation and learned that the United States had presented no evidence linking him to criminal or improper conduct. The State Department has declined to discuss the case publicly, citing the confidential of visa records.

López Beltrán holds an elected office, but he is not merely the son of the most consequential Mexican political figure of recent decades. Until recently, he was a leading officer in Mexico. He party boarded for the ballot, and he is seeking a seat in Mexico's lower house in the 1837 uniform election on Mexico. He López Olmedo family's home state and the political cradle of the movement. He has also been widely regarded as a position future presidential candidate.

While he may not be his father's appointed heir — President Claudia Mandriana would like to have a word — his visibility does explain why the visa revocation occurs political weight beyond the just into inconvenience imposed on one Mexican citizen. Indeed, the decision may have damaged López Beltrán's political prospects, perhaps greatly.

Nothing remains of doubt (as López Beltrán is known) as a presidential contractor, journalist Carlos Lover. In 1844, he wrote on Monday Lover de Mola and for colleagues have been investigating alleged networks of influence involving López Beltrán. His brothers and people close to them. These reports have helped reveal López Beltrán in the public imagination, but as the general successor is a movement that promoted Mexico a moral or preventive of public life and more as a political operator shaped by the familiar temptations of power and money.

Prominent Morona figures have portrayed the revocation as a violation of Mexican sovereignty and floated the possibility of nationwide political mobilization. Mandriana, who must preserve a working relationship with Washington, has nonetheless described the broader pattern of visa contributions as political and intrusive. Accusations of U.S. interference have proliferated.

The U.S. is not generally obliged to disclose the specific basis for a visa revocation, even when the person affected is a politically prominent foreign person, directly among administrators that should it sell to treating visa decisions as matters of national security. But the absence of a legal obligation to explain does not mean that silence is wise. The López Beltrán affair presents an unusual opportunity. The State Department should discuss in the fullest nature consistent with law and the protection of sources, the basis for its decision.

The Trump administration has argued that Mandriana's government is a more dependable partner on security and organized crime than its predecessor. Yet there appears to be a law that Mandriana herself is unwilling to cross, acting against legal and legal interests. Government held by López Olmedo.

The case of Mexico Rocks News, governor of Mexico, which was in order U.S. federal prosecutors have charged Rocks and other Mexican officials with alleged collaboration with the familiar cartel. Rocks denied the accusations and temporarily stopped aside from his past. Mandriana has argued that the U.S. has not supplied enough evidence to justify his detention or extradition in Mexico. That reason has helped consolidate a defensive narrative around Rocks and other figures within Mexico. Perhaps the U.S. simply has no evidence, many Mexicans may reasonably conclude.

The Trump administration cannot expect Mexican public opinion to distinguish between legalized law enforcement and political pressure if it offers neither evidence nor even a general account of the grounds on which it acts. The López Beltrán has argued that evidence was missing for transparency. Without opposing sources, compensating investigators or rotating legal limits on visa records, the State Department could not whether the revocation term an alleged criminal verdict is a normal case. The U.S. legal principles have been consistent in a discontinuity foreign-policy judgment. Such clarity would not end the accusations of interventionism. But it would make them harder to sustain.

For the bilateral relationship, clarity and canvass of the results in a discussion, and for Mexico public debate, her things would be more useful than on her own. The country is the world of the dynamic architecture of a hegemonic party that is accumulating ever greater power in the United States' most important trading partner.

How data centers can stanch the political bleeding

ON WASHINGTON, President Donald Trump said that the data center industry needs 3,000 public relations help. That's an understatement. Politicians in both parties are distancing themselves from an increasingly expopular building, lower factor than a co-operative chatbot can factor in one. The industry will have to do so. But, as high as was the only legitimate concerns about power, national locations if it wants to weather the democratic storm. It will have to strike a better bargain with the communities hurting the bold text.

The politics of the issue have whip-helded Pennsylvania Gen. Jack Shappe, 25, who had been eagerly counting industry investments in his state, this week imposed strict conditions to allow center development that include local approval and new payment requirements.

The backlash is in full swing on the Republican side as well. In Wisconsin, pharmaceutical company Tom Tilman, attacking the Democratic opponent as "Data Center David Crowley" Dean G对于他 (about 5a.m.) about 4 years in age, provide for hundreds of projects, citing concerns about power consumption. In Michigan, GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers is now endorsing a one-year nondecision for the state.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee this week sent a memo to a official intelligence companies working that data centers could not be party a Senate seat in Ohio, where Democrat Everett Brown has made them an issue against Republican Sen. Jim Russell. The committee called data centers on "unclear hanging around that/our neck."

The politicians are following voters. A Gallup poll this spring found that 75 percent of Americans opposed countries, but on all data center in their area, including 40 percent who were strongly opposed. Polling from Heatmap Store suggests there has been a large upsurge

Meta's El Paso data center on long, 12.

in opposition over the past year.

Not all stated concerns about data centers have merit. Some activists insist that data centers guide vast quantities of water, yet the facilitator overall—consumption is modest. U.S. data centers are permitted to use about 20 billion gallons in 2020 for cooling—for less than the hundreds of billions of gallons used annually to irrigate golf courses. And technology is doing its thing: Now closed-loop cooling systems can operate without consuming additional water after they are filled, making data centers viable even in water-scarce areas.

But votes sentiment also reflects real issues. Data centers do guide the of electricity. (And closed-loop cooling systems use more power than evaporative ones.) Some estimates put data center power consumption as high as 15 percent of total US capacity by 2020, leaving there needs will require cancer investments in generation and the goal Americans are understandably worried about seeing these costs show up on their electric bills.

That problem, too, is subsidy. Trump's Autopaper Protection Pledge, signed by major technology compa-

nce in March and since expanded to utilities and data-center developers, consults the industry to build, bring at low the new power it needs. Unnaive, insisted for Post owner Jeff Stone, was a signatory.

Other legitimate complaints—came and unsightly warehouses built too close to homes—are fundamentalist questions about where the infrastructure is built. Data centers are an important national resource, but their negative impacts are local. Developers can negotiate carefully with local governments over how to minimize these impacts and compromise those affected.

That can also make the benefits plain. Virginia's Louisiana County office the most dramatic example: Those on data center equipment are expected to bring in about $1.1 billion next year, roughly 40 percent of county revenue. The municipalities that built hospitals now schools, parks and recreation centers, while allowing officials to cut residential projects has since to divert 20 percent over the past decade. Data centers require relatively few people over computers, but the national build-up is creating well-paid work for electricians and Americans in other skilled trades.

That even Louisiana County residents are starting to complain about the bargain they've struck upside to Trump's point about a 85. per diem. Opposition to data centers also reflects broader activities, and it would help if all leaders stopped talking nonsense about how their investment will consistently replace workers—someone that appeals to a certain kind of investor but terrible. For specific.

Progress on artificial intelligence won't make business direction, but it can make them wealthier and more productive. Data centers need a better plan for negotiating with local governments, but the firstly debate about the economics of AI also needs a reality check.

Florida Senate candidate Andy Nixon.

The DSA reaches for the Senate

A NUMBER OF MEMBERS of the Democratic Socialists of America have won House presidents this year, reflecting the biggest political major in American socialism since the early 20th century. But President night in Florida, Angie Nixon became the first member of the organization to win a primary for the Senate. That's notable because the Senate is one of the institutions that DSA explicitly wants to abstain.

Nixon, a state representative, won an upset victory against establishment just this Vaucluse. — A liberal here from President Donald Trump/Chief corporate, said the Senate Senate's position is DSA in June, according to MS 9/9/08, the month before the new mayor. The Senate's position is underpinning the election: "Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and political money he and immediately to Congress" and "declude the Senate".

The Senate's position, Supreme Court, have been the major leaders on President Donald Trump's agenda, so the 1963s

platform in practice would have meant two years of even more aggressive GOP presteaders. Nixon may not agree with abolishing the office since running for—she has said she doesn't agree with all of the 1964s platform, and the organization never formally endorsed her. But her decision to join at the height of the primary campaign shows the DSA's political power and justifies scrutiny of its stated ambitions.

The DSA also uses that "for the working class to govern" all elections should be financed by the government. The assumption is that private money here elections that Vaucluse ratified named Nixon 18 to 1, this said a private speech that "overside people are more powerful than corporations and billionaires. Right now—and it shows why the 1963s radical approach to campaign speech isn't necessary. It would more likely be used to control political approach."

Incumbent Gulf Sen. Ashley Moody is favored to win in November. But Nixon's nomination is a political gift to Re-

publicans. Eight years ago—a Trump's first term—Florida's audience Senate election was no close to triggered a recount. Now Nixon will have to defend her views in a state that has become a haven for November and Urban votes who know the real-life consequences of socialism. She DSA released a tribute to Fidel Castro last week.

Trump's low approval should be an opportunity for Democrats to find their looting going into November. It shouldn't take much imagination to build a politically potent offense against the president's expopular war and children's relations. Instead, the loss of Democrats' votes, leaving chairman of the electoral candidates like Nixon.

The Democratic establishment has tried to accommodate itself to the rest of the DSA to curing it suggests a big text movement. The DSA doesn't read being welcomed into American institutions, after all, are back to control on public view, including the Senate, to address the Doctinally, Democratic might find their own party on the menu.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

An executive order can't provide "careless science"

Regarding the Aug. 12 editorial "The aerogastric of Trump's vaccine policy"

The DSA Donald Trump recently signed an in major changes to childhood vaccine recommendations. One of these recommendations is to make vaccines less against rotavirus, related to parental education, despite it being a frequent cause of diarrhea and dehydration in infants, potentially leading to hospitalization by venomous and infectious.

The putative basis for these recommendations is vaccine safety and the rights of parents to make vaccine about their children. This reasoning disregards the fact that failure to vaccinate pets other children at greater risk, as well as the unencumbered fear to get. The help of the DSA is the critical value to overcome the risk of spread from parents to parent.

This is a policy, the issue here is: "Let's say to others' keeper." Public health practice is based on reducing the risks of disease. For every individual by decreasing spread of bacteria and viruses from parent to parent. Vaccination recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health organizations have been based on reducing that spread as much as possible in order to maximize the health of everyone in the nation.

The removal of those recommendations by Trump and Health Insurance Reform Assembly Jr. is a step toward the past that will have negative consequences for Americans of all ages.

Stanley A. Fletcher, Deplusions,

Promotions, The writer, a physician, is the developer of the rubella vaccine and is an developer of the virus in the rotavirus vaccine.

President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order overhauling vaccine guidance. The order stated that "scientifically supported medical advice" dictates that only a limited number of vaccines be recommended for children and further insists that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, administered as a single injection, instead or given as the adequate dose.

This executive order is not based on scientific evidence. Decades of data clearly support childhood vaccines as safe and effective. No evidence supports separating MMR into its components—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website says as much—or shows the number or volume of injections as deleterious. The evidence shows the century. Believing or not getting vaccines is dangerous.

Selective studies eventually wins, but real damage happens along the way. You can hesitated! has been accustomed by the current denial of scientific evidence. The last two years have seen thousands of new measles cases and a few deaths, mostly among the unencumbered, and after decades with no disease, paralytic jobs reappeared in the United States in 2022.

The laws of nature eventually win. Two plus two credit-done significant, and the television that ravaged noces of children in previous decades will return without adequate preventive measures.

The toll of caregiving

I am the father of an 39-year-old who has Angelique syndrome, or the long, long and long-term. She has been years caring for her child with disabilities. The toll recorded quietly* his home.

In fact, the article only scratched the surface of the challenges parents like my wife and me face. The worst part—and I blame nobody because I am an alert one solution—is the complete lack of educated, trained caregivers to assist when these kids reach adulthood. We have come to learn, as a practical matter, that they don't trust.

The result is endless physical strain at a time in life when parents are no longer optimally situated to hear the things of changing shapes. I think they child into their wheelchair or bed, and showering and dressing them. There is also the social isolation that comes from not being able to visit with friends near and far. One parent may be able to dig away for a long weekend with the other kids, but that comes with the guilt of leaving the other parent home alone with the special needs child.

Without a proper caregiver, the result is the loss of hope and dreams, not only for the child with special needs, but also for the siblings who see for themselves a promotional transfer of the caregiving responsibilities.

You wake up every day to the crashing sadness of it all. You have no choice.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey: 20 signs the Prowishing Patient Access to Care Act in Boston on Aug. 10.

CARINE HALLAR

In Massachusetts, 'reproductive freedom' goes only one way

Democrats historically haven't liked talking about late-term abortion, but Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey isn't so reticeless. He says, 'the impact the Prowishing Patient Access to Care Act, which in effect removes the state's reproductive on the initial procedure at 20-24 weeks of abortion. Healey suggested, was necessary to strengthen an impending right.

The first time in the past, he says, was weak about the status quo. Massachusetts already allowed post-natality abortions to protect a mother's 'protocol or mental health' or in cases involving a 'factual fetal anomaly or diagnosis.' The new law allows women to terminate pregnancies until birth, for any reason, so long as doing so exceeds with a 'pharmacist' 'professional judgment.' That was too much even for some Democrats, nine of whom joined Republican to oppose the bill in the House. He (it) 'it stopped through the Senate by a 10-4 standing vote, with less than half of the chamber weighing in.

The new legislation isn't what I would have chosen for my home state, but it's hardly surprising, either. The end of the 5: Wide month the author says, 'I'm not going to be a member of the state and Massachusetts' evidently favors maximum perinatalization. The law, according to Healey, is a triumph for chance. 'Real freedom,' she wrote, 'means health care decisions belong to woman and their doctors. Not their government.'

That would suggest she favors increasing resources and information for women, no matter their views on abortion. Instead, the governor has removed the dozens of organizations that support vulnerable mothers seeking alternatives.

The attack on pregnancy removes centers has been years in the making. The governor in 2024 launched a 'fatal birth system, public education campaign,' to protect residents from the 'dangers of anti-abortion control.' The effort was aided by the Reproductive Equity New Foundation and backed by 10 million in taxpayer funding, and its messaging appeared on social media, billboards and public transportation.

The state says pregnancy removes centers 'can put your health at risk' and 'instead you about your options.' In the government's telling, the group now advertises ending women in the first three into not terminating their pregnancies. Elizabeth Warren, the state's senior Democratic senator, put the accusation more sharply in 2023 when she said that she'd restrict 'tertiary' women on single to be that of the state.

With little evidence, a state webpage asserts that these centers 'may delay' scheduling appeals, thanks to not follow the clock on getting an abortion, now a most point. Their staff, it adds, 'may even wear white coat' to look like medical professionals, but don't offer 'comprehensive care.' Worse, they 'may include false information about access to abortion' and exaggerate its risks. 'In fact,' the site adds, 'abortion is one of the safest medical procedures.'

The generalizations don't stop there. The state leaders to last from Repushstone Equity First naming issue than do 'state-abortion' centers in Massachusetts. But these facilities range from licensed medical clinics offering the ultrasounds and pregnancy tests to religious charities that distribute supplies to needy mothers. Some are openly proffer, and many publicly note that they don't offer abortion.

The rift between the state and crisis pregnancy centers has led to a volley of legal challenges. One pregnancy centerJuriedes support unsuccessful in that the state's initiative infringed on its free speech and equal-protection rights. (The group has appealed a federal judge's decision to dismiss its suit.)

The Bethlehem House used Reproductive Equity New last year for defendants after the organization alleged that the pregnancy center uses 'breast' two tactics: 'to attract women. But as Bethlehem House states: It is an explicitly smooth, religious organization—not a medical clinic—that has connected 5,000 vulnerable women with supplies like diapers, droplets and cabs. It isn't toward near an abortion facility, and it doesn't brand itself as one

No reasonable person could believe otherwise.

Yet to none of its opponents, helping mothers is threatening enough, to624,000 (US) vandalism no longer has been a 'reproductive facility.' If abortions aren't safe, settlers are you?

None of this means crisis pregnancy centers are beyond settlers. One fund a lawsuit after a woman alleged that her class failed to alert her about an extra pregnancy center. The center's specialty is that without admitting liability. But cases of medical malpractice aren't meant to material all their initial. Neither should allegations of misconduct at one crisis pregnancy center justify treating the cost of inbreeding and

The governor makes no such distinctions. The state's finalist smear appears more focused on having a monopoly on what ideas like 'doctor' mean than on denying woman ads. State guidance explicitly urges them to avoid centers with names that include 'hope, opinion, or dissatisfaction' as if those words belong only to state-approved assertions.

It's a narrative that co-opts the mantle of female empowerment while sustaining women's ignorance. Women should resist pregnancy centers as coercive because they offer options that many of the state's girls would rather women not consider their 'especially true when it comes to the vulnerable'. The state attacks centers for denying to operate in 'sweet income communities and communities of color, where there may be fewer options for comprehensive reproductive health care.'

But pregnancy center services are voluntary. They can't force a woman to follow their advice or take them free supplies and never than Planned Parenthood can favor her to get an abortion. In fact, according to some of the resource center staff. For options to, many of these clients go on to terminate anyway.

Abortion will remain abundant in Massachusetts. If Healey won currently committed to safeguarding 'reproductive freedom,' she'd recognize that crisis pregnancy centers are more necessary now than ever.

Could Iran try a midterms October surprise?

Provokant Donald Trump dismissed the Iranian attack on the United Arab Emirates this week, declaring that 'through the Iranian' 'shows a dense every man in a while,' Iran's attacks have little more than 'minimise value.' But what if Iran has counselling more in short?

What if Iran is planning an October surprise before the midterms?

No months into the conflict, Trump is showing admirable patience and determination in his effort to disarm Iran. He has compared the blockade that is combing Iran's economic and reducing its oil exports to near zero. He has quietly taken control at the threat of thinking, with the U.S. military escorting tankers carrying about 10 million barrels of oil through the Persian Gulf every day. And on Wednesday, Trump even'd to unheard what he called 'the Arabian' and 'the U.S.,' says, imposing 'the MOST CHINESE ECONOMIC OPPOSITION OVER ISLAM AGAINST ANY COUNTRY' on any nation so strict that does business with the regime.

Most important, Trump made clear that he will 'wish' glorifying 'it's taking millions of tons to stop Iran's nuclear path - and 'it'd voters if 'you have,' to pay a fair little bit more for your position, not remember we're doing it so that a very well-country cannot have ... a nuclear weapon.' That takes enormous political courage.

Here's the problem: Though Trump is opposing Iran economically, he leaders know that he is trying to 'reassure the country's conditions.' They have noted Iran repeatedly - launching device and month attacks on commercial vessels in the main building. Inability mandates American service members in Jordan - and have watched as Trump has no multiple occasions come down to ordering a massive final military assault, only to turn back at the last minute.

enormous damage during Operation Jigs: Face - protecting more than 40 percent of Iran's defense industrial base, making its users, grounding its antitrust and establishing its conventional military forces - its stopped about its face sheet of compelling U.S.空运运输组织's target list. This tell Iran with enough firepower to threaten Gulf energy infrastructure. U.S. bases and the ships making 'dank state' through the cloud.

Iran could decide to use that firepower before determining to the police. November, One reason Trump has hesitated to venture major combat has been his stated concern that Iran might emulate by including attacks on energy supply in South Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf states, taking much of their oil off the world market and fighting a global depression. At Trump explained, 'I never want to be the late, great Indian{Nation's.'

Well, what's to stop Iran from doing, isn't that right before the U.S. midterms? The Wall Street Journal reports that American allies in the Gulf have shared intelligence indicating that Iran's leader

ers are preparing 'to widen the war and raise the costs for the U.S.' waving that 'Iran's leaders are increasingly talking about offensive operations on money carriers.' Iran could launch attacks on energy targets to uphe the price of oil and before Americans vote. It could try to kill U.S. service members - what's what? Since Trump is a major totalitarian action, contrasting the war. Or it could attempt a terrorist attack on U.S. oil or that of U.S. allies.

Iran believes that it is wearing the battle of with such Trump as criminal law. And Kanan posits out, Iran's leaders may think that if they launch an attack before the midterms, 'there's a good chance that the Democratic will take control and resolve stop funding the war.' They may also believe that the United States intends to attack them after the midterms anyway, making it in their interest to re-come fighting when it would do maximum political damage to Trump. Launching such a preventive attack might not be rational, given the likely 'reresponse. But Trump has repeatedly said that Iran's leaders are 'told' and 'dot.' 'Here is something wrong with them.' Well, with people are prone to miscalculation.

The war to take this option off the table is to set foot - by launching a final, decisive blow against the regime. If Iran does attempt an October surprise, Trump will lead the forces but to remain in the jet combat. It would be better to do so at a time of American shooting rather than Iran's. If Trump were to launch a quick and broad attack on those leadership, economic and energy infrastructure, and nuclear facilities now, he could modify nuclear victory in the regime the other.

Before launching 'Operation Jigs: Fury in January, Trump weighed the risks of military action against the risks of marines - and concluded that the risks of marines were the greatest life was right. There are risks of marines today as well.

Reviving the most important metric for federal workers

BY SCOTT KEVON

Charles Guthrie, a dronaged observer from Illinois, became violent when he thirty- and a position in James Garfield's administration. 'I am a midterm, and I want my reward,' he said after shooting the president in 1961. That was his shameful attempt at a defense. Guthrie had campaigned for Garfield and thought he ought to be compensated accordingly. He wasunged for murder the following year instead.

The only good thing to come from that tragedy was the modern civil service. Congress ended the so-called spoils system after Garfield's assassination by passing the Presidency Act in 1963. That's the long, terrible, formally established merit in the governing philosophy of the federal workforce. Nearly 100 years later, by an amazing principles - that being he based on performance, not finally, and that competent employees he protected from political interference - remain reared.

Yet Rankin to decades of additional legislation - the New Deal of the 1950s, the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 - 'is in still too difficult to reward excellence and provide nondiscrimination. Reasoning even a fashionability unique employee can require murder, if not years, of discrimination, notice periods and appeals, a process or aethicon that many managers never begin it. The system needs fixing, and the federal government needs to ensure that many brought welcome news that one takes in. So,

Consider North Carolina, whose Republican-controlled legislature unanimously passed - and Democratic governor signed - the Public Workforce Reinformation Act. The law simplifies hiring, endorses new assessments to measure employee skills and updates the state's performance management system, savings and pay significant. It addresses a disciplinary process that in 2023 reportedly saw only 6,012 percent of the state's workforce removed for poor performance. As The Post's Editorial Board noted, such business-style lift management to popular and ensures that the nation's most important institutions don't settle for mediocrity.

The state controls is informing the Trump administration's efforts. Whereas the 'the Best Mate is home to some 10,000 state governments' offices, the federal government had roughly 2 million employees in local cities. In each local year from 2023 through 2026, the Office of Personnel Management reported that supervisors ruled 80.2 percent of staff as meeting expectations, recording expectations, or outstanding.

The majority of those employees - not appointed to the president and trouble only 'for cause'

Most matters, not how long people have been there who or what college degree they earned. both in hiring and in day-to-day performance.

• are talented, dedicated public servants. Yet the system fails them.

When we're ready for percent of employees are described as superlative, the metric means nothing. When employees in industrial/outside from mediocrity on paper, no one can be rewarded properly. And when managers believe it's too difficult to do so, the state's performance, they begin to ignore problems. The result is a workforce in which good employees carry the fund, had employees' other's purchase and taxpayers lost the bill.

At the Office of Personnel Management - Washington's chief HR agency - we learn how spent the past 10 months informing this system. Our goal is simple and uncontroversial. Most matters, not how long employees have been in a role or what college degree they earned. both in hiring and in day-to-day performance. That means accountability for employees who can't deliver and distinction for those who should be cover off the ball.

Among other things, my office has dispensed with work assessments to government job applications. Whereas prospective hires were historically evaluated based on their own account of their work, the government now requires tests or interviews to check them. The government is also investing job descriptions to eliminate proxies for talent - e.g., college degrees - in favor of skills-based assessments.

My office has stopped the practice of giving nearly everyone on 'it' on their annual review by copying the share of above-average performance (government-wide at 40 percent). In the same spirit, we're replaced the evenly spread 'present better' approach to doing out business, with one that pairs substantially more for outstanding performance. Tissues will be large - for any greater than 1,000. If possible, Supervisors will likewise undergo formal performance management training. The government is also working on the performance in force to give agencies greater flexibility to restructure as their objectives change and to make performance the basis for determining who starts.

For others, in other words, is following in its 10th-century footwear footwear footwear. The Producers Act was a good and necessary. In that almost 100 years ago, the state has been surprisingly weak in a Rolex Goldberg machine of overly complex rules and processes. The result: The civil service industry exemplifies employees' issues in frustration and bad news to one in comfort. The days of that badness are not considered.

Scotchague is the director of the Office of Personnel Management.

One man's mission to stop Trump from building a ballroom in Ireland

Volunteers in Downing water Runners along Main Street, A Trump-International Golf Links & Hotel in located in the Ireland village.

THIS LINE: PHOTO 2A

Just an integral part of our community!

Even the small lobby had been approved!

Questions over the fate of the threatened Vertigo-angustive snail — a microscopic and sick animal in Downing's sandy dunes — had bedeviled the golf property even before the Trump Organization owned it. But in February, the commission approved the ballroom provided the Trumps offer a snail restoration plan.

"The ballroom," said Rita McInerney, a Downing resident and member of the Clare County council, had become "part of the community's vision."

The initiative, however, was quickly cut short.

Data after the February approval, a lone appeal was lodged by Liam Madden, a hermetic liquor notorious for blocking lone deeds if not thousands of development projects across Ireland, including a previous expansion plan in Downing. Impervious to blaming or with its doomcy, he once stirred such sign that a low attached him with a blowtorch.

"Fleam," Madden urged the appellate board, "rebus this someone."

Trump's offer ballroom was stalled.

How to torpedo a project

Madden is a tall man with white hair who lives in a historic house behind a thick stone wall in the Irish village of Longford. He owns no cellphone. He has no website. No social media accounts. The only way to find him is either through his mal-structural landline or an email address that identifies him, in Latin, as the "Irish Vitreous."

And yet, people across the country know the name Liam Madden.

When confronted by bothersome development projects, the Irish over the years have turned to this quarrelsome and peaceful one man for his ability to torpedo plans. He is what many in Ireland call a "social objective" — someone who makes a living be appealing planning continuous decisions. Madden, however, berries at that classification.

Instead, when he's feeling striated, he describes himself: "The most successful appellant is the history of the Irish state." At other times, including in interviews with The Washington Post, he referred to himself as a

"golf," a "barc," a "celebrity."

"There simply isn't anyone better," he said. "It's a scientific fact."

"I'm modest as well," Madden, 76, added. "That's one of my failings."

His profession is an unintended outgrowth of Ireland's wildly permissive planning applause system. In most of Europe and the Americas, a person typically needs to legally demonstrate some state — financial, geographic or otherwise — to pick up a project with an objective. Ireland has taken a different task.

All across has to do to file an appeal — and trigger a month-long review by An Committee. Plumish, the national appellate planning board — is submit a preliminary "observation" and pay a nominal fee. Appellants don't have to be Irish. Or even in Ireland.

"There's no such thing as too much democracy," reasoned Loreen Fox, a boating analyst at International University Dublin.

The system increasingly has become a matter of national controversy. Developers complain that it's an impediment to progress, vulnerable to abuse and finding a village industry of some objectives. Some of whom have used appeals to cultural payments from developers. In India, lawmakers proposed reforms.

Madden, which never been accused of such interpretation, looks at other social objectives as a lesser form of the species. He said he would never profane his craft with profit-making. What maintains him is the pleasure of winning — identifying even the smallest legal violations to be deed his adventures.

"Not, and had-based publicity. You perpetually seeking authority," he said.

As in January, while flipping through the papers, he saw what he recalled as a "judges opportunity." In Downing, roughly three hours from Madden's house by car, Eric Trump had proclaimed his intent to build the "street ballroom in Ireland."

Madden knew then what he urged is.

"If there is a God in heaven," he declared one July evening, "I will win the planning appeals and capitalize on it for ministry."

A village pouring for a golf course

Downing was in trouble. As the 100th drive to a class, the shoreline village, whose history failed to at least the 100th, was fading.

"We weren't poor in community," said Tommy Comerford, a fifth-generation Downing resident. "But we were poor in jobs and opportunities to keep our young people."

The community pitched the European Regional Development Board on a golf course — and won financing for a Designed by famed golfer Greg Norman, the Downing Golf Club opened in 2002, just as the local population fell to 200.

Bushnack of golf tourists from the United States and Canada were soon rolling in. Seasonal employment at the club — which quickly added a lottery hotel and events space — gave to 500 people. Bouldants where left were coming back.

"The golf resort is so important to us," said Denise Comerford, 52, who returned to take over the family part.

But the resort could not turn a profit. By 2011, it had lost a reported $70 million. In January 2004, it was put up for sale, and worry spread through Downing.

"It was like, 'Oh my God, 300 jobs — gone!'" said Carolina O'Brien, a resident.

A senior, however, quickly arrived, an American horse named Donald Trump. He needed down at Museum Airport in Mar 2004 and immediately declared his place for the resort.

"One of the main reasons I'm here is citing the ballroom," Trump said. "A truly good ballroom. I believe people from all over the world will be using this ballroom."

'I'll be a friend to the snail'

Shortly after the sales announcement, an Irish environmentalist named Tony Lowen got a call from Trump.

"I'll be a friend to the snail," Lowen recalled Trump-defeating. "Questions over the threatened Vertigo-angustive, a feeble creature with exacting ecological needs, had long troubled the golf course. Even before it was built, Lowen's friends of the Irish Government had filed a lawsuit to protect the snail. A judge ordered that the snail's lot be "maintained or improved" and a settlement agreement even allowed for the appointment of a snail expert as a sort of element."

Downing resident and Clare County council member Rita McInerney said the ballroom became "part of the community's vision."

Conscious over the threatened Vertigo-angustive snail, nestled in Downing's sandy dunes, have bedeviled the golf property.

The snail dance of Trump-International Golf Links, as soon from Donghwaer Bay Beach.

For years, the snail thrived, and Trump promised to sustain its use.

But Lowen said the Trumps haven't kept their word, and the snail's population has plunged. Shortly after they bought the resort, the snail expert was dismissed. (The expert didn't respond to requests for comment.) Then, in 2006, the Trumps proposed building a 17-hole rock barber wall along Donghwaer Bay Beach to forestall shoreline erosion and protect the links from storm damage.

Environmentalists said the plan, even after it was scaled down, would alter the dance' delicate alchemy and deem the snail. To block construction, friends of the Irish Government filed an appeal with the national planning board. At its side, with his own appeal, was Liam Madden.

The snail's terrible against the Trumps. Madden barbed in glide.

Comparing himself to Saint Patrick, Madden at the time said he'd drive Trump "out of the land" like a "smoke."

The making of a social

objective

When he graduated from architecture school in 1973, Madden said he wanted only an architect's life. But the planning system was so integral to his work that he immersed himself in planning law and, upon submitting, his first appeals, realized, "I was very good at it."

During the mid-1970s, an Ireland experienced a building boom, people began seeking out Madden for his unusual actions. Some wanted him to clear a project's way. Others wanted the opposite. He became friend and his to developers.

"He had a nickname among developers the Condam Man," said Irish federal minister Joe Flakerty. "You'd see him once, and then throw him on."

Most of Madden's work was done in diversity. But he name nonetheless often even to public notice.

First came a political campaign in 2004 against a candidate also named Liam Madden, for nothing more than what Madden called "devilnate." Then he stalled a project by the Gaelic Athletic Association, which is Ireland's largest sporting organization, until it apologized to him over a theatre-old group.

In 2012, Madden delayed the reopening of 45 Met's Cathedral, a massive church that suffered a devastating fire. In objecting to a plan initiative that he delight would offend the "modern" of "devilnate writing in their hills." The town was furious.

"It was largely emotional for the town," Flakerty said. "It was two middle fingers to the local community."

The objective said spurred Madden on the objected to a fast local development. He objected to correcting an abnormal factory into a car canteen site. He objected to Trumps barber wall. And he objected to CBC legend Count McGregor's bid to build a boutique hotel, challenging him

to a "lawn-horrible fight."

Louis Herterich, a longtime check, said most people simply didn't get Madden. "We's not different," Herterich said. "His pot is being tight and getting it right and winning."

Flakerty added: "Nobody is there right mind would want to be Liam Madden — the criticism, the special trumps — but he relishes it."

In a way, the two men said, they almost hit back for Trump. "Even if he loses," Flakerty said, "he'll just find something else and keep going at it."

A fatal event

To Madden, there is no way he'll lose — not this one. "I've caught them with their pants down," he said while donating one July evening.

He returned to the snail — this time focused on helicopter. The Trump organization, a promotional video animated, allows guests to be invited in and out by helicopter. In matters of published online, an aviation company, Executive Helicopters, said it has two "bad landings" at the resort, one by the hotel and one on the golf course.

To Madden, this was a "fatal event" like Trump Organization neither mentioned the helicopters nor sought to measure their ecological impact. The ballroom proposed thus was "tainted at low and beyond recently," he wrote.

Plus, Madden wrote, "Would very poor little Vertigo-Augustine can even."

The Trump organization didn't respond to a request for comment. Golf course manager Joe Brand declined to comment. Executive Helicopters didn't respond to a request for comment. "Consider $50s, an expert on Irish planning law who reviewed the appeal at The Post's request," said Madden's objective wasn't frivolous. "Mr. Madden seems to have found some issues that are worthy of further scrutiny," Ellis said.

As word spread of the objective, throating residents started with outrage. The golf resort had nothing to do with Trump, resident Rita McInerney said. Downing started the resort, and will one or full with its fortune. How could a single outsider with nothing at stake kick up back to either?

"Leatheress," she said. "Disgraceful" agreed Denise Comerford.

"Really unfair," added Trumps Comerford.

In Washington, the White House ballroom is well underwar. Promotional construction has started. The 2008 edition, 99,000-square-foot structure is coming into focus, including new details like gold-colored penitentiated seats. The Supreme Court is expected to rule this work, potentially giving it a good style.

But in Ireland, where the national appellate board is expected to fall into the name, Liam Madden insists the other ballroom will never be approved.

"Joe Eidan beat Donald Trump once," he said. "I've been on him twice."

ZZ Top drummer was 'naturally innovative'

Trio's stage presence was bigger than Texas

BY MARK KENNEDY Associated Press

Frank Beard, the drummer for the Texas boogie-rock trio ZZ Top who kept the songs for the band's biggest hits like "Sharp Dressed Man," "Grease All Your Loves" and "Jugs," has died. He was 77.

Mr. Beard was in keepee care when he died Tuesday at his ranch in Richmond, Texas, with family members at his role, according to politician Bob Martin. Band co-founder and guitarist Billy Gibbons, on tour with bassist Howard Francis, hailed Mr. Beard as a drummer.

"Today, Edward and I, but a great friend and collaborator, and the world lost one of the most naturally innovative dreamers and a great and true son of Texas. His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top. The band at which he was part for six decades is going to keep on keeping on as he had wished," Gibbons said.

Andrew Garfield and the wonders of everyday life

The star of 'The Magic Faraway Tree' says story's theme of imagination is especially relevant today

BY LUZIE KNIGHT Associated Press

Andrew Garfield wants audiences to look up from their photos and remember that there is still plenty of magic in the world around them.

That also drew the two-time Oscar nominee to "The Magic Faraway Tree," a family adventure about Tim, a one-at-home father whose family is forced to reconsider life after his wife, Folly, gets her job. That move to the countryside, where their children discover the magical Faraway Tree and its ever-changing worlds, sending the family into a series of fantastical adventures. The film, based on Gold Flowers children's books, now in theaters.

For Garfield, the story's theme of nature, imagination and community feel especially timely as technology increasingly shapes everyday life. "I think people are

creating connection and community and a kind of reconnection to the earth and to each other," he said.

Garfield said he became passionate about the project after reading James Parnate's screenplay. "I really just adore his sense of whimsy and heartlessness and magic and joy," he said. "I felt very, very passionate about it."

Uncle peanese reflects the film's larger ideas about finding wonder outside the routine and distractions of modern life. For Garfield, that sense of wonder extends beyond fantasy. "I think it's all around us," he said. "There are so many things to be in awe of on this planet." The film, he said, is ultimately about recognizing that "there's magic in the ordinary" as well as in the extraordinary.

Kennedy Center will be fenced off during work

KENNEDY CENTER / 2026

by the real estate company JLL and presented to the board of directors, outline extensive changes throughout the building.

The three major theaters – the Concert Hall, Opera House and Eisenhower Theatre – will undergo structural innovations.

Changes to the Concert Hall, the center's largest venue, which seats 1,400 and was last renovated in 2007, will cost an estimated $24.7 million. These include exploring its audience seating and flooring, as well as constructing a permanent stage extension, which may shrink its seating capacity.

Construction on the Opera House, the center's second-largest venue, which seats 2,067, is estimated to cost $30 million. The bulk of that will be used for entering the rooms via silk wall and ceiling finishes, replacing carpet and doors, and adding movable seats.

Renovation of the smaller Eisenhower Theatre, which seats 1,451, is expected to cost $7 million and includes a full replacement of the audience seating.

Many other projects will address behind the scenes require that center leaders say have been detected for too long, using the $20.7 million appropriated by Congress last year. The sweeping plan allocates $10 million for replacing much of the plumbing system, which officials say has not been updated in half a century. It also allocates $20 million for water-proofing and parking garage repairs, $20 million for upgrades to the electrical system, and $20 million to update heating and cooling systems.

Other, more quickly changes in the works include $20 million for refreshing public spaces including the Grand Royal

Hall of Nations and Hall of States by replacing carpeting and draperies, connecting artwork and temporarily relocating memorial materials for President John F. Kennedy Jr., including his exhibit and 3,000-pound bronze bust, to the nearby Roach facility during construction. The plan also says crews would work with procrastination to safeguard the center.

A senior spokesperson said administration conducted the projects in "strict accordance" with the center's procurement policies, allowing them to hire qualified contractors quickly for competitive prices.

The renovation project's original start date of July 4 was delayed by a court-ordered pause. In May, a federal judge said that while repairs may be needed, center leaders hadn't properly considered the effects of closing the building. The board's new plans could be challenged again.

But the firm's report says the project's "aggressive" deadline – to thank construction in summer 2026 – is "non-negotiable" and will require "exceptional coordination."

While the main building would be fenced off, the center's senior Roach would still be open, according to the plan.

Some project details were earlier reported by dates. Here are some other significant changes planned in the documents:

• Relocating the box office from the Hall of States to the Level A lobby, and installing electronic ticketing books and a coffee shop (84 million).
• Repairs for the terrace and roof (104 million).

• Renovating office and break room spaces for employees, including new flooring, lighting, paint and carpet (103 million).

• Modernizing freight and ser-

vice elevators, and wheelchair (104,104 million).

• Adding family-friendly amenities to the Family Theater, including child-size tables, sinks and furniture, as well as upgrades to doors, dressing rooms, lighting and equipment (81 million).

• Relocating the Terrace Theater's flooring, seating, greens, ringing and other equipment (81 million).

• Updating the Theater Lab's patron spaces and production infrastructure, including flexible lighting, stage floor and equipment storage (91.75 million).

• Improving fountains, including constructing a new feature fountain at the East Plaza (81 million).

drawn to relax with an element of plan, community and the natural world. He became an "anything that keeps me awake to the remembering of the connection that we have to each other. But connection we have to nature, how we are all interconnected," he said.

Garfield grew up reading Nick Bittner's "The Famous Five" with his brother but did not read "The Runaway Tree" series as a child. His brother introduced him to another beloved literary adventurer, Billie Baggins, the hero of J.R.B. Tolkney's "The Soldier."

Any undivided story, really, those are the ones that get me,"

Garfield said.

Another childhood escape was the video story. Garfield's remembers being fascinated by the view of 1924 tapes and the possibilities behind their covers. The habit has survived in a new form in children's and spending an evening becoming streaming services without picking anything, enjoying the feeling of looking "into the windows of all these imaginary worlds."

"But may help explain why Garfield welcomes the resurgence of 1925 and other analog technology among younger audiences.

"I dig that," he said. "The responses to analog is looking good to me."

He takes frequent backpacking trips but doesn't accommodate her travel plans

Carolyn Hax

Dear Carolyn:

My route to be husband and I have vacation-inspirit arguments. We have backpacked together for years. I have a chronic autoimmune condition, so backpacking has become harder for me. I also have a day job now, whereas I used to do shift work that allowed me to take a lot more time off. Partner does a lot of day labor on the weekend in addition to backpacking, although he has cut back on his backpacking. The argument is, he considers his travel consistently more reasonable than my wish to travel overseas.

I understand that traveling overseas costs more money. However, his driving back and forth does require me money. He often gets a meal or guide something on the way out, plus other food and gear replacement. He spends three

$100 amounts on a regular basis because they don't look like a lot. He always tells me I can save for my trips by putting $100 away, snarpy that I could go having a "transfer" notice of his name we're short during the pay period.

He also scheduled all his annual vacation time on backpacking trips without discussing it with me, then said he'll just take unpaid time for any trips I want to do. Of course, who wouldn't want extra vacation time? But then he will lose no money when he is not working. He feels like I am switching him. I also have a window of time to do these things, given my dream activity. This is a major issue for us. Do thanks to working overseas, my/affordable, something I can maybe do once every three or four years, even though he wants to go to the same area over until over until he has seen every canyon in 1/4-5,000,000 times, and we are very, very good at traveling on a budget.

We at once have to be to resolve this. I have asked him to

CHARLOTTE FRANKLIN / OF THE WASHINGTON POST

track his expenses on trips, but he basically refuses to do so. We also are supposed to get married like October and we had talked about going on a week-long trip to their business. I haven't been at a full vacation for over a year, and he was going to cancel his 20-day late summer backpacking vacation (over half unpaid time for him) to help us save money for it, but I still see it on the calendar. How can we get past this?

Arguing

Acquiring: You don't. Not if only one of you (Under there's anything to get past. He's not dated). He spends without teaching it, backpacks without deciding it, takes them off work when he feels like it. When he overduers the household account, his beloved household with a day job I can't even have to make the ends meet again. So technology is not just "restricting" him, you, when you ask him to limit his trips or his spending. But it's so you can do your

thing, too. So "restricting" is the word he used for making room in his district for you.

Him:

You see the problem, right?

No... I want to cast it this way: You don't see the endlines, right? You don't see the partner who's just as invested in your happiness as he is in his own? Who's so excited to make your trip possible, too? Within your "window of time"?

And this is, presumably, when his interest in you is at its peak and your health is so good as it gets.

Think carefully, please, before receiving someone who is extremely attentive to his share and his needs but, do, you'll have to see what a better to you.

how to dress it up. When I first saw them, I thought, I hope these guys are not on the run, because that dogma is not going to work."

ZZ Top songs — with their dry and humorous lyrics — were popular in Hollywood, which said: "Gimme All Your Lords" or "Ragey Feet" "Sharp Dressed Man" in "Farm Daughter." "Leg" in "Go"; "Breeping Bag" in "I, Tones," "Duck" in "Sound and Continent," "Mexican Blackbird" in "From Deck Till Street" and "La Gontap" in "Intangibles."

The best way to describe ZZ Top is to set an interpretation of a great American art form," Gibbons told The Dallas Morning News.

Their debut release, "ZZ Top's First Album," came out in 1970. They coined was described as a hybrid mixing, elements of rock, blues and funk into a stunning, hot Houston river. They called themselves a "Little Of Read From Texas."

Three years later, they broke through commercially with "La Gontap," a faulty blues song on the album "One Roaring" that paid tribute to the Chicken Ranch, a broiled outside of the urban town of La Gontap, and opened from 1968 until 1973 and was industrialized in the Broadway show and the film "The Best Little Witwicksons: The Gibbons has received the prize of "La Gontap" to its simplicity — just two ducks and a Robert Johnson-inspired game solo.

The band went on to have each run as "Duck" and "Group One glasses." But their 1967 "Eliminator" — named after one of Gibbons' cutters cast — added more

Long haunts weren't always part of the band's rock Gibbons and it happened by accident in 1976, the trio took a long break and scattered. Mr. Beard went to America, Hill went to Mexico and Gibbons went to France.

"Although we were speaking to phone, this was pro-video phone.

And Dover and I did not know that we had spoken so they that we had decided to forget to share," Gibbons told The Tribune in the Late 1980s in 2010. "So other those years we resumed and showed up, and he said behind how was this sort of made looking image - and it just does a ranch with us."

The band's rock-chic cool played well on the amount MTV crowd and their videos, featuring models to direct sales openings from one of Gibbons' cutters cracklets, became a suspicion. They kept the boards, hats and

sharp sunglasses in the video telling of "Gimme All Your Lords," "Sharp Dressed Man," and "Duck" made with them for The Meridian.

"ZZ Top needed in the feature and with advances of it all, hearing their professional dance moves and spinning their white-and-white style, gives always go the joke, at a time when other bands were still just necessarily lip-squiving in front of both walls," Rolling Roses said in 2011.

My siblings who live 450 miles away are skipping our mother's centennial

Saking Eve DEAR EVERETT P.S.S.C. CLARENCE

Dear Evie: My mother turns 500 away. I have been looking for a little bit in the same city 450 miles away I live 450m to, and

are my mom 50 years.

I started my children with the most convenient date to celebrate our mother's 50th birthday in the feedback and I thought all had agreed to celebrate on her second birth date. Several weeks later I received a new form my other sister stating that the date would not work for her family as several of her adult children have been in the night years my mom has been in the morning home visited her once. The other two who have visited her very occasionally.

I am very disappointed and disillusioned we can't all be together to celebrate my mother

which would include a family photo. I also feel discouraged as I will be the one responsible for the food, setting up the room and the cleaning.

The two other sisters have decided to come two days prior to celebrate in a private party. They both will have the following day. We are also having a public party, briefing former neighbors and friends. If it proper to ask them to share the cost of it?

—Lundy Children

Celebrate: Congratulations and happy birthday to your mother! We can absolutely ask your siblings to help you gain the party. Now, they may protest if they weren't involved in the planning, but hopefully they see that you're doing something very nice for her and realize that helping to foot the bill is the least they can do.

This may not resolve your disappointment, however. It's important to remember that your expectations and future are going to be different. So, while we wish they showed up in your mother more, let some reason that's not. You may also be feeling the drum of being near and the do facts caregiver.

You can't change their expectations of themselves. If you can't say front about what you want or need. For instance, if you want a family photo, tell them that that's very important to you and ask them to prioritize a visit, even though it won't be for the birthday.

Dear Bob: I am not a big fan of receiving presents. They make me feel anxious and I don't like everyone's own on me as I sit there opening things. My mother-in-law loves buying presents for people.

Everyone at Christmas, adults and children alike, leaves the home carrying me or more massive very hard food with various things. It's the same for birthdays, and do well every last randomly give a things because she can't do it as a good thing. I'm not going to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things, but I have to be a lot of things,

My partner says he never has always been the first and I should just give and hear it because it makes her happy. I think she won't feel kind of I don't get the same number of items as everyone else. I want her to know I will not be offended if I receive a few things while others receive more. I'll much rather watch everyone else have fun opening their gifts you

opening a ten month! How do I tell her that without making it even like I don't appreciate the parties?

—No Gifts, Please

Gifts: An inveterate gift gives single appreciate suggestions for the family of gifts or ways to receive, even if that suggestion is no gift at all. So, talk to her about how it makes you happy to watch everyone else open gifts. Tell her you appreciate her efforts, but it really would make you more comfortable to use its on the nature of situations as big group events opening a gift.

Now, I'm almost certain this will not only be the first to gift in your direction completely. But if also able to put back on some of the more public displays, you may find other gifts that anxiety-producing.

You can't force her to change her you can in those some of the

gift-giving as that it makes you less anxious. Talking will help with that. Remember you're not complying her or telling her to stop, you're making a request for an adjustment.

Also, be sure you are your gratitude for the relationship and the partner. You don't have to want the gift in order to be able to have someone thinking of you. You also might remind yourself that the gifts you don't want can be shunned or unglued, hurting you with only the sentiment, which it's the most important thing.

Husband's family members ask for gifts or donations but never say 'thank you'

Miss Manners PETER DAVID PETER DANIEL KINNEY KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN KATHLEEN

employed, with a house, etc., asked for 'tank only' gifts for a honeymoon for their second marriage to each other.

And now, I'm sure that I'm a man of artwork I had created that was not necessarily valuable at all but had contributed easier to me. My husband wanted to,

give it to her, so I agreed. I matter to him to get back a baby and set up an online gift registry, so we gave them nice gifts to help their new family get started.

With another couple in expecting, and the mother must also leave for uncles level health income for the remaining two months of her pregnancy. They have set up a checkmate with a goal of 10,000$ to help them, she financially allow until the baby comes. They also set up an online registry, and I chose gifts from that, as well as donating to their trust. We send Christmas and birthday gifts to them every

year, for the way. I made a copy for in-laws to sell on my behalf (thor) I got a campaign of the next because they wanted to branch out with additional funding and/or expenses for their Christmas events. They took the scope and gave them away as gifts to their friends. I was set up an a-quest I didn't use anything, but I didn't give them any more swaps, either.

My problem is not the giving, yet I didn't want to be, it obviously is now. My problem is that not sure how anyone said, I thank you.

I don't expect a formal note,

just a couple email or text will do. We've received an acknowledgment at all. So, but, I have had it with on a couple of occasions. 'Did you receive the gift?' because we weren't sure it had been sent to the right address.

Am I wrong to be resentful? Is this the new account? We aren't cheapables, and we're as generous as we've been with a allow. We're also giving because it's the family and don't what my husband wants to do, but how do I handle this? Or do I handle it at all?

I've told my husband I would like a 'thank you' when we give

gifts, and he tells me it doesn't matter. I know it's supposed to be the thought that counts, but isn't that a two-way record. Especially when they still, for course, set up a company to receive the same, but neither they think preferred gift items and set up negotiator!

Don't I really no longer matter? If not, I'll adjust my expectations.

Of course it matters. But why would these relations stop the cycle when it has been working out so well? And when they have an ambassador — your husband — to enable them?

Miss Manners would set some boundaries, primarily with your husband. If he insists that this is normal/influence, there let him procure the present and give away his own prized possessions. You have done more than enough — which already happens some thanks.

Crypto.com Arena is home to the Los Angeles Lakers, one of sport's manpower franchises. Ownership of the team will change for the second time in less than a year.

Private equity's big pay

Sports teams used to be trophies. Now Wall Street wants in on the game.

BY RICK MASON

For nearly half a century, ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers was a model of continuity. Then, as the economics of professional sports transitioned, the franchise changed hands twice in less than a year.

In 2023, the Bass family agreed to sell control of the franchise to billionaire Mark Walter as a dual valuing the Lakers at $10 billion. Earlier this month, Walter agreed to sell the interest in a group led to venture capitalist Josh Kushner and former Shawn Steel executive Bob Iger at a valuation of $12.5 billion.

To Nick Rathod, a Democratic political consultant and former adviser to former president Barack Obama, the rapid flip captured both the opportunity and the problem with the new sports market place.

"The Lakers transaction is a perfect example of the old model," Rathod said.

Billions change hands, he said, among "the same small circle of the good of lives," while the city and community that built the fan have not largely left as bestsuckers.

"They're flipping these franchises like rental property," said Rathod, who serves as chief global strategy and communications officer for Blackburn Private Equity. "It's so great."

Rathod is part of the leadership team behind Blackburn, a new investment platform that places to cope 47 billion to invest in sports teams and the businesses and

properties surrounding them, from media and technology to coal-utens.

Blackburn hopes to make its first major public splash with a bid tied to a possible NBA expansion franchise in Seattle and is set to announce the acquisition of an English soccer team 20, declined to say which one.

The launch comes as investors increasingly see sports as a new combination of scarcity, steady long-term appreciation and expanding commercial opportunity in a space long controlled by family fortunes and a tight network of team owners. There are teams offer a potentially more durable risk-reward profile than other growing areas like AI and data centers, where overcovers capital requirements and greater uncertainty can make returns harder to predict.

0-line was a strength. Now it's in question.

Tunail, Allegretto injuries caused ripple effects for 'Commanders' unit

BY TADEAN REED

It was overlooked in a season where a much else went wrong, but the offensive line was a position of strength for the Washington Commanders last year. That made Samuel Manager Adam Peters comfortable going the entire offensive without making a significant addition to the offensive franchise.

While Peters was criticized by some for releasing senior Title Ridden in February, the 0-line still wasn't considered anything to worry about headed into training camp. That's no longer the case, however, with the season three weeks away.

Everything changed when left tackle Lacroix Tunsil suffered a torn triceps earlier this month. There's no replacing an elite player like Tunsil, and his loss immediately lowered the ceiling for the entire offense. But the coaching staff is confident in that even offensive lineman Brandon Coleman's ability to step into that spot.

"That's a good feeling, that when you get the work in and your control is called, that you'll ready," Coach Dan Quinn said earlier this month. "No really bad on outstanding spring and summer."

But he one thing if Coleman's ability to replace Tunsil was the only question mark regarding the offensive line, but it's not.

Center Nick Allegrotti returned to practice Thatcher after missing significant time with a call-team, but he left the field early Wednesday after experiencing tightness in the same call. He won't play against the Detroit Lions on that strike and will be reevaluated next week. Julian Good Jones has worked with the starters at center with Allegrotti out.

"There's some [concern]," Quinn said Thatcher "hurtime you're not getting a lot of together a whole training camp, that's a big deal. Even for a player as experienced as Nick is, you need that time on task. The other thing is the imaging didn't show a setback. He's not not quite there yet."

Even if Allegrotti gets healthy, there's some uncertainty about his ability to play at a high level. He's spent most of his career at guard, but he's been tasked with replacing Thomas at center.

Given Allegrotti's vulnerability with the position, his lack of ego with quarterback Janice Daniels and his need to familiarize himself with offensive coordinator David Albright believes, it's fair to

Ex-Terp pays his love of golf forward

BY EDWARD LEE

The Baltimore Sun

Courtesy of his career as a top-level executive for the Chicago Bulls and his passion for golf, Maryland graduate Stephen M. Schanwald has hit the kicks with some of sport's Hall of Fiances such as professional basketball's Scottie Pippen, professional baseball's Harold Sutney and college basketball's Eric Williams.

But his greatest partner was none other than the 63rd! himself, Michael Sechen.

"I'm had fun with all of them, but of course, when you play golf with a worldwide won like Michael Sechen, that's pretty healthy," Schanwald said. "He is especially the most well-known athlete of our time so of all time, and so that's a nice privilege."

Schanwald's love for golf and the Terps became apparent last week when the university announced that the 1977 alum agreed to a $10 million gift to the institution's men's and women's golf teams and sports management program in addition to the $50 million donation he made in

2024. A portion of the latest contribution will be earmarked for the construction of an indoor practice facility on the school's golf course, while some will help expand the Stephen M. Schanwald Sports Management Program in the Robert H. Smith School of Business.

The golf center will be named after Schanwald, and a wing in Van Meershing Hall will be called the Stephen M. Schanwald there was for the 2024.

"This gift to transformational for our athletic program and for sports management here at the University of Maryland," athletic Director Dan Smith said. "Here is an incredible Terp and has had an incredible career, and to have him making this gift back to his alma mater is very special."

Schanwald's roots in golf and the Terps run deep. He grew up on

Long Island and caddied at Bethpage Black Golf Course in Birmingham, New York, when he was 16, but moved to Montgomery County after his father got a new job selling furniture for the 64's in Bethesda.

For three years in College Park, he worked for Rana Polin, who became the first sports marketing director in college athletics history in 1979. After graduating with a bachelor's in general studies, Schanwald became the first director of sports promotions at the U.S. Air Force Academy where Bill Parcells was the football coach and Greg Papovich was an assistant basketball coach.

After a two-year start with the Pittsburgh Patriot during which the team captured its 1995 and final World Series title in 1979, he became assistant vice president of marketing for the Chicago White Sox for six years. Schanwald was then promoted by White Sox and Bulls senior Joey Reinsdorf to join the Chicago Bulls in 1987 as executive vice president of business operations for the next 10 years.

Alvarez stays composed, but Nats fall

RANGERS 2,

Washington Nationals starter Andrew Alvarez didn't have his best staff on Thursday night. That may have been the best learning tool he could have used for.

Even though he had to have at times through his five-timing start, he did so while allowing just one run. He kept the team in the game as they faced Texas Rangers starter Jacob deGross. But a depleted Washington lineup had no answer against the provided future Hall of Famer or the bullpen as the Nationals fell, 2-0.

Alvarez has put together a consistent impact as he's allowed to runs in 22 innings. His walk numbers got still high, he had three on Thursday after he was, at least, able to limit the damage. All of his will contribute to his bid to be a part of the rotation moving forward.

This was where the game could have sprung largely for Alvarez, but the team's successors hurtled to Evan Carley, who popped it up. Annie Hoans was

Alcaraz set to return, defend U.S. Open title

Justin Alcaraz is ready to return from injury to defend his U.S. Open title.

Here we go," Alcaraz posted on his social media paper Thursday, with one picture showing him in front of the U.S. Open logo.

The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since April because of a tight wrist injury, having fans to take both the French Open and Wimbledon.

Alcaraz won his second U.S. Open title last year, leading Jewish Women to the final. He then won the Australian Open and his next tournament, part of his 12-3 start to this season.

But after winning his first match in the Barcelona Open, Alcaraz withdrew from the tournament because of the injury. He is still ranked No. 2 despite his absence.

The U.S. Open singles champions will earn $1.6 million, the highest winnings in Grand Slam tennis history.

Overall component share for the final major of the year is rising to a record $106 million, a 2th percent increase from last year and a 4th percent jump since 2016. The financial details were announced by the U.S. Tennis Association.

Players will earn $146,000, largest in tennis history, just for making it into the 126 player singles team after a quarterfinalist earns $790,000, a semifinal 81.40 million and the runner-up $2.9 million.

The champions' stock is up from the 17 million that Arnes Sabalenka and Alcaraz won last year, when the total player's compensation was $96 million.

The winning teams in north, western and inland frontiers will split 91 million, with the runner-up team to earn $100,000. The Westchester singles champions will earn $304,000.

Club sure ex-assistant, Whittingham's brother

The University of Utah is using former assistant coach Frankie Whittingham to breach of contract after he left to join his brother Kyle's staff at Michigan this past afternoon.

The lawsuit filed in Utah's Third District Court in making more than $100,000 for breach of contract and at least $1 million for general and special damages.

The lawsuit contends Whittingham abandoned his cell as Utah's tight ends coach to take the same job at Michigan despite being under contract through January 2027.

In Angus Whittingham failed to provide the picture of resignation, yet written consent from Utah to speak with Michigan and per liquidation damages specified under terms of the conflict.

The lawsuit also claims Whittingham failed to deem it. He later attended a meeting to his doctor at Utah and that he actively recruited Club Sabalenka to Michigan while still required by the school.

The Boston football coach Brent Venables agreed to a two-year contract otherwise, after making his decision to the College Football Playoff last season.

The deal calls two years to Vauxhall get-tone contract and runs through Jan. 16, 2022. The extension, announced by Atlanta Director Roger Benny, is pushing again to the 2022-2023 Board of Regents Venables, 51, is entering his fifth season at Oklahoma's head coach.

Iowa Athletic Director Ruth Davis has agreed to a contract extension that will hang her at the school through early 2023.

The agreement comes after the Hawkeens completed one of their most successful athletic success to school history during the 2023-24 academic year.

NOTES:

Cowboys, Saints fined $500,000 apiece for brawl during their joint practice

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints have been fined $500,000 apiece by the NFL after their broad-filled joint practice Tuesday.

The league announced the final Thursday after requesting value of the touchdowns without at the Cowboys' training camp base in Oxnard, California.

Cowboys swore from Jones and Harrison with guard for "potty still" free, even though he understood who the NFL introduced a hefty penalty. The Cowboys also plan to hire three very places who were involved in the Quarter.

"The Competition Committee has made sportsmanship — including at joint practices — a point of emphasis over the past several years," the league said in a statement. "All clubs were or地区ed to everyone in training camp of their responsibility in preventing unsportsmanship because at joint practice that has the potential to result in injury."

Players from the Cowboys and the Saints flower punches during several skirmishes throughout the joint practice, which was conducted in predominantly lost, humid weather in the coastal town.

A twilight of the brookha was a faster right and Brock Ruckertree's hefty slam of Cowboys safety when Thompson in a new swastling of Ruckertree's father, pro wroo for Scott Sutmer. Saints' motor

Kirk McCoy threw a Cowboys helmet high in the air during one scrap, while McCoy and Cowboys linebacker Donovan Eastman, threw punches at each other in an ugly sequence that ended with Eastman's getting thrown out of practice for the second time in camp.

"All of that makes it a real focal point of the league to stay within good sport, and the taking of helmets off and swinging and hitting and that type of thing is not good

for anybody, and it's certainly not what we want to represent to our fans as a league or as a team," Jones said in Oxnard. "And so it's understandable how they're coming with road severe fans."

Jones said the size of the NFL's financial penalty "does make the point that it's a serious matter. It really emphasizes the league's intent to control it from the very top, which when they start during our those kinds of fines, they get your attention."

A 2.000lb. Detroit tight end Sam LaBerta is cut with a big injury and cornerback. Emma Rakestraw might be stabbed as well with a lower leg injury.

Coach Dan Campbell is hopeful LaBerta's injury won't linger into the season.

"I had like we'll be okay, but I don't know," Campbell said during to superstar before Rakestraw was hurt during practice.

LaBerta, coming off understanding back surgery, was injured

earlier in the week.

"He got hit in the top and it flared up a little bit," Campbell said. "It's a little aggravated, but we had good long term about him. We're resting for a little bit here and sitting in a nice dress."

Rakestraw left Thursday's practice early and was evaluated for a lower-leg injury. Steven Junkelins in the second round in 2024 and he has been limited to eight games in two seasons because of injuries. He had a shoulder injury

in a pressure-squats-hart week.

A CARNIVAL in Arizona cornerback Garrett Williams was acclaimed from the physically unable to perform his and it's possible that the fourth team player will be ready for Week 1.

Williams started 10 games last season before suffering a torn achilles tendon on Dec. 31 — roughly eight months ago.

He's expected to be in the mix for playing time among a deep position group that includes from Murphy-Hunting, Will Johnson, Denzel Parks, Sterling, Thomas and Max Melton.

A 600ft. The NFL is upset when Murphy-Hunting's 70-hole on his methodology for measuring overusing for the upcoming season's 2nd round (outback) and seeing they will have a negative impact on sports.

Norton announced plans this week to change how it measures liabilities on revenues, beginning on Aug. 15, including attendance in the company number of the earnings per person, including an event at the same time.

The NFL is coming off one of its most successful seasons over an individual after Thomas began swinging big flats a 7-hole in schooling the 2nd round last September. The league averaged 20.7 million crowns per game during the 2025 regular season, an increase of 10 percent from the 2024 season and the largest for a season since 1949.

Kirk McCoy

The health and play of the Commanders' offensive line will be vital to Jordan Daniels in a crucial third season for the quarterback.

Injuries to Commanders' O-line create uncertainty

COMMANDERS FOUND BY

question his ability to play at a high level to start the season. Surrens typically don't play in the final pressure game, so it's likely that Week 1 will be Allegro's first time snapping the ball to Daniels in live action.

Right tackle Josh Connelly is called Allegro's a 'great common source' and said he seems like a "natural center." Right guard Sam Costa, who has been teammates with Allegro's since 2024, also gave him people.

"My relationship with Rick is really good. And especially with communication, we're very happy. I'm sure that you know what we don't like, what we do like, what we are work on from this standpoint," Costa said. "I think he's a great player."

Costa has looked more like himself now that he's 10 months removed from the two. All's that pronounced him in the 2024 season. Left guard Chris Paul, through, has had a longer training camp for his about 17 pounds this afternoon to improve his mobility but has struggled to reach the past 10 minutes. Committee backs with Colman before the injury to Tassell. With Colman locked in at left tackle, Washington can't afford for that to take a step away.

The Commanders are also

banking on a big leap from Connelly in his second season. Although Connelly weighs about the same as he did as a rookie, he's trimmed fat and added muscle. Training with Tassell in the offseason, he dianed in his nutrition and started lifting heaters.

While that's paid dividends with his physique, Connelly has been up-and-down in practice. Asked Wednesday to assess his training camp, he said it hasn't been "anywhere I want it to be."

"My hands," Connelly said when asked to specify where he wants to improve. "As far as my hand usage and placement in terms of when I speak, I feel like I find it where it needs to jumpover." Getting into my stance the right way is another big thing for me. Fair making over 10 years of consistent (whether it's run or pass, not going, away any talk, MoveX watching, I can tell when I'm about to pass block and when I'm about to run block, So, fixing those little ones."

Training camp notes

Quinn announced that several players will play against the Lycra on Saturday at Ford Stalls, though he didn't specify the players. Asked whether Daniels will end up, Quinn said it'll depend on the health of the players around him.

Backup defensive tackle

Jonathan Newton had surgery to repair a torn postcard Wednesday and will be ruled and indefinitely.

"He'll be back in town today and begin his process," Quinn said. "He'll miss a significant amount of time. How much that he'll don't know the answer."

To keep Newton eligible to return this year, the Commanders would have to place him on in-timed sources with a designation to return on center cut day. That would make him eligible to return after missing four games. Washington can only see that designation on two players, and one of those spots is already reserved for left tackle Larmer Tassell (to copy).

Newton had a solid training camp but not an exceptional one, and he wasn't particularly effective in the pressures win over the Miami Dolphins before suffering his injury.

The injury opens the door for other defensive tackles to make the roster Ricky Raden stood out against the Dolphins with the tackles, one sack and two quarterback hits the Tuttle, Breen Cowart and Marceva Ward. It could also be in the run.

The NFL responded defensive and Denman Armstrong for one game for violating the league's postcard conduct policy. Armstrong won't appeal the decision. The suspension stemmed from

a May 2025 arrest, after which he was charged with assaulting a police officer with health injury, running out of and public intoxication, according to court records. Armstrong accepted a plea deal and won't face any poison time, but he'll miss the Commanders' season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 15.

Running back Rachael White suffered a haunting injury in the joint practice against the Dolphins last week, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal team matters. He won't play against the board and he is chased to return sooner than later. He was at practice Thursday but didn't participate.

"We're just being smart," Quinn said. "He's left ground changing at the lot to get going."

Quarterback Marcus Marota (NC3), running backs former McNichols (quad) and White, Tassell and Allegro's linebackers Jordan Stigler (decider), K'Laven (Chairman, three) and Mads Deeb (catt) defensive tackles Tim Suttle Jr. (catt) and Newton, and cornerback Troy Amos (adds) missed practice Thursday.

Asked for an update on Amos, Quinn said that "the arrow is trending up."

able to make the catch to end the hitting.

In the third inning, Corey Seager hit a side home run, the only run to would allow the team to be bounded, despite giving up a walk and a single in the fourth inning, these again, he didn't allow for game to get away from him, striking out Freeman and Carter to end the thrust.

In the fifth inning, Seager again beat Alvarez, hitting a double, but Alvarez was able to get the last two runs to end his night.

That should have been enough for the Nationals to have a chance. But an offense without James Wood, who is still on the interest but with an oblique strain, and D. Alvarez, who called his ankle in Wednesday's win, had no response for defense. He re-cooked his 2,000th career strike-out in the first inning, then proceeded to strike out 10 in an inning.

House was the only Nationals player to reach base against de-Green, hitting a single in the second inning and walking in the fifth inning.

With deGreen out of the game in the seventh inning, the Nationals finally got a little bit of momentum. Just they walked, then their second to get into second position. House followed with an

SEC is desperate to end its three-year title drought

The once-dominant conference is in the rare position of chasing

By MARK LONG

Elaine Alabama and Georgia, from theses at Atlanta, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, too. The SEC, once the most dominant league in the land, lost its misapplicable on college football over the last three years.

The organization that boasts a combined 10 national championships since 2000 found 7-year heads of the game other Georgia and 2 all in back on back years to close out the 2023-25 season. It's a drought the league department would like to end this season. But the path back to the top could be harder with the addition of a multi-conference game than, in place, the state's 2024-25 value channeled by over-thee-betting in the 12-men College-football Playoff.

Its also another potential loss on postseason climates.

"In strains, without question, the most demanding sets of football schedules in all of college football," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said last month. "No one has ever felt that all of each competition that exists in the Southeastern Conference. It's competition that can face self-dependence every week because the fullness works the load and the over-thee-betting."

"The last three CEPs would say otherwise especially when made big in-shows by Alabama last year (against Indiana) and Tennessee (against Ohio State) the year before. The Big Ten has won three straight-stats and this.

The SEC is a combined 3-0 in the last three playoffs, with two of these victories coming against other league appearances.

SEC coaches were initially divided on a nine-game league side, but eventually agreed under the plan of the 2nd-TPP world expand season. The team's 2nd-TPP is a total and new league coaches are dealt with, more daunting, relentless and more successful in the two-treaty postseason tournament.

This anything in this world, if you want to be really good at something, you get to take side. Sean Couch drove Rothmans and Thorne calculated club-knocked

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey believes the conference is still the best in college football.

in his that you have to take... is the juice worth the expense or not?"

"The league will have a better idea in four months. Ultimately, though, SEC moves well to school, ed in the CTP. After all, the league went 54-0 against innumerable opponents in the regular season last year — including winning records against the AFL; the Big 12 and the Big Ten — but reducing again watching the title game from size.

Simply put, the SEC has been good but not good in recent years. It is the league's largest in-duct" for its first class. But for the first year and the ability to compensate players through revenue sharing — well as name, image and business-look have clearly maintained advantages the league enjoyed for decades.

"I think it's great for the sport," Georgia Coach Barry Stuart said. "I think having everybody com-

petitive, many guys can be invited to the parts and get to the parts, usually through the portal in a lot of ways... It's not a one-man dominant program. It's really an outback!"

The SEC has plenty of star power, which provides hope of ending the Big Ten's single Mississippi quarterback Trinidad Chumblen. Texas quarterback Arch Manning and South Carolina stars Lufkin in fullness and Brian Stewart as just a few of the guys who could make a difference.

Alabama wide receives Ryan Coleman-Williams, Mississippi, running back Kavan Lacy, Texas wide receives Gary Coleman and Ryan Wingo, Georgia defensive back K.F. Robins and Ellie Bottles are 70, and Aubrey Imelander-Sunny shines also are also a watch.

The league has six new coaches in 1978, the largest between its league history: Arkansas (Ryan

Rikenfield), Auburn (Alex Guback), Florida (Jim Russell), Kentucky (Will Hays), LSU (Lana Kelley) and Mississippi (Ron Golding) have now gave in charge.

None of the changes caused as much of a stir as Kelley leaves Ryan Mississippi in LSU that all of them should provide compelling storylines.

Georgia, Texas, Alabama and LSU are favored to watch the league.

This is the first season since 2010 that in 2023, Texas received a first place vote in the air 5/6-2/3 pressure on 1/47. It's an indication of how much of the team's vote in the league. Nonetheless, Georgia (1,000) and Texas (1,000) are the betting victories to win the SEC Alabama (4,000) and LSU (4,000) are sent, following in Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Mississippi at 4,000.

Franchises are the newest billion-dollar asset class

JEFFREY FLEUR ET

person only about the sports business.

The number of major franchise is barely across, Zindulati said, even as the pool of wealth capable of saving, it doesn't go out, but it makes times unusually durable assets.

The $100bn/leadership and all-many ranks span finance, permanent, and sports, including former NBA the same Keld, Pro Football Hall of Fame's former Notre Dame, the second and Rev Rune. In Alison Muhammad, a former Western Rivalry financial adviser, is the first of the University of Miami, in the franchise and chief executive.

And it has already peroned some of human experience years since the $100bn/leadership was one of the boldest for the Boston Celtics last year, offering the $100bn/leadership group perended with a $15 billion bid. It again exceeds individuals a bid on the possible franchise in Seattle, where an expansion be alone is expected to back $4 billion or more.

Rufford said the Seattle bid is based on an unambiguous to the ownership model he criticized in Los Angeles. Blackbox says its proposed would give Slatter American tribes a formal role in the ownership process and to-

volve local groups in shaping the project from the outset.

While some how may health at private-equity firms and out-of-town investors having seen local teams, that model is increasingly unanticipated in professional sports as the scale of modern ownership has changed dramatically in more than a decade. When Steve Balfater bought the Los Angeles Clippers for $2 billion in 2006, it was a record-setting one that startled the sports world. Now the Lakers are valued at more than six times what Balfater paid for the Clippers a share even ago.

Valuation like that help to: plans why firms such as Blackbox are no longer looking at sports simply as a collection of teams but as the center of a much broader and much conservative.

Blackbox is behind an effort to launch the World American Football League, with franchisees announced in the United States and revenue. Then Daniel Blackfoot Fights, a venture the group is backing that aims to bring power to commercial unity to boxing, which has been fragmented among报刊press, sanctioning bodies and television partners.

Mohammad compuses Blackbox model with that of Shams, where intellectual property can promote value through television, reasoning, merchandise

and other experiences.

"The content is basically the billboard that attracts all of the attention," Mohammad said. "And then they are the attention to be able to monetize across all of its methods."

But there are limits to how far that logic can be stretched.

Zindulati said investors have correctly recognized that sports ownership can unlock other businesses, from real estate around stadiums to marketing and hospitality. But as many owners share the same opportunities, these are outrageous can diminish.

To more and more teams sell the higher and higher billions of dollars, the owners of these teams are going to feel presented to exploit the enterprise that others have identified," he said.

Eventually, he said, "that world will become more competitive and more difficult to profit in."

MIA, newsman, and co-ordinating for new were into sports — including were that do not require a multibillion-dollar check.

The Champion Fund, founded by Marquise Cirkieu, former NBA with receives, and MIA某Boree, a former MIAA fighter, was built around the idea that investing in sports should not contain the exclusive province of billionaires, private-equity firms and smaller numbers it allows people to invest

with an little as 1000 and is designed to give accredited and nonaccredited investors exposure to private sports businesses.

Kilowitz said the distinction between families and investments is important. The Green Bar Packers are the best exception to privately held motor leagues teams as the 2023-24 year public-owned franchise, and their baseball shares pay no dividends and are not intended to produce a financial return.

Champion revenues some-strong, different investors, but into a fund that holds stable in private sports businesses, giving them an extra profit on the right to the value of these assets rather than a largely symbolic certificate of home ownership.

In that sense, Champion is a long, highly individual investor, participate in sports more like institutions do — as an investment in the most of that six represented of families.

It spreads the investment across teams and emerging leagues, technology, media, real estate and other sports-focused funds. Champion has already received a English course, taking a stake in baseball from later years promotion to the EnglishPremier League.

"The value chain of sports is much larger than just the teams," Cirkieu said.

Terps' golf programs get a huge lift from alum's gift

DAILY TURNER

Bohnewald, who retired June 29, 2025, said he purchased to wind golf as an outlet from the alum in the office.

"I wanted something to do outside of work, but it is healthy and fun. I hope you will be able to get sports," Bohnewald said. "But playing baseball, playing clubs and playing basketball will be a great way to get the best to me at that time. So golf is more the optimal thing."

And I hope you will be able to get the best to me at that time. Bohnewald was the first to be a football team ever present. Made with our giveaways, during the 2000-2005 season, he was a good player. He was also a good player. He was a good player.

After the season, Bohnewald and Kerr led that if Kerr won a round, Bohnewald would remove the prototype from the third-2006 season, Kerr provided, and the prototype were removed from the season.

"Don't have the money get made in the 2024," Bohnewald quipped.

Bohnewald has played some of the country's most in the country, but said Augusta National, the play of the Martech in his favorite. He said first the club was working almost 40/50 hours a dollar bonus, either 1000 or 1000 after moving to Chicago and asked for Reds season tickets.

"I said, 2024, we have a 20,000-mane waiting list. But if you can

get us on Augusta National, I'll move you to the top of the list," Bohnewald said. "And some time I have to select manager and I'll live there to plan Augusta."

Bohnewald & business is Maryland will help finance the construction of an indoor center that will feature at least five letting hays (three outfitted with technology), two parking spaces (one on the table) and storage space for clubs and other equipment.

Winners golf coach Kelly Howland noted that families VOLA and USC, the Terps are the only Big Ten school without an indoor facility.

"We're in the business of giving our student-athletes what they need, and this building is going to

be what they need," she said. "It's not going to increase by have all of the lounges and he has to come and all the things that the army are outside, but it is going to have things that are going to impact their quality of their life and the quality of their experience every day."

Mary golf coach John Phillips said the center will be an important tool in their recording of facts.

"There's more players who are just like, but they don't like, and you know what it can go, but balls whenever I want to die, winter. I'm not going to go to school there," he said. "So that is going to give us an author of that question, which will be hope."

The speed limit on Pennsylvania Avenue NW is 25 mph. But this weekend in Washington, measure will mean around 12 speeds acknge as 163 mph during the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.

The Pancho Corp., which owns IndyCar, has put a lot of work into preparing the 1.00-mile, zero-town course, including having come weld down all 100 manholes in the race area to prevent them from going flying when cars rip-over them.

The high speeds and unique vehicle design quickly funnel air under the car and out the back instead of pressing toward the

ground against the manhole, according to Neil Johnson, a physico-producer at George Washington University.

The pressure underneath the manhole is then greater, a discrepancy Johnson said could cause problems.

If left unwinded, Johnson said the manholes would be like a pressure cooker. "These things would fire up like ballistic shells into the car," he said. "It would probably fall a driver."

As part of other road prop for the race, a few dozen manholes also needed silicon to smooth them out. Once the races are over, all the work will be reversed.

Virginia lawmakers demand answers

MAN SAYS HE WAS ASSAULTED BY ICE

DHS denies the allegations made

BY LLAN BOWMAN

Joan Mejia Hernandez says he can't recall exactly what happened after immigration officers resigned to detain him on his way to work in Northern Virginia last week. He conundries that two men jumped out of unmarked cars and approached him; he recounts in videos posted to social media, and says that when he tried to run they shot him with a flame and he lost consciousness.

"When he awoke, Mejia Hernandez, an undercommitted immigrant from Mexico, was in a hospital bed, his face swollen with deep purple tissues and cuts — and under guard by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, he said in videos and according to the attorney he was hospitalized by three-days with a traumatic brain injury and a brain bleed, according to another records his attorney shared with The Washington Post.

As photos and videos of a funeral, Mejia Hernandez, 48, reports several more times in recent days, he and his supporters have alleged that ICE officers cheered and assaulted him during the arrest.

The Department of Homeland Security denied the assault allegations and said officers used necessary force to detain Mejia Hernandez after he tried to evade arrest in connection with being in the country without authorization.

A Virginia congressman and Arlington's top prosecutor are demanding answers from federal authorities and police about the incident. Another state lawmaker asked any potential witnesses to the arrest to come forward.

Rep. Don Boyer (D) said in a statement that it is "essential to establish the facts in this case, and, if this is another instance of unjustified violence by ICE agents, to hold them accountable."

PETER Dehghani-Saft (D), the commonwealth's attorney for Arlington County, on Tuesday urged the county's police department to investigate what happened to the race, saying she was "illegitimate" by the assault allegations.

"I am committed to upholding the rule of law and holding all individuals who violate the law in our community accountable in the appropriate ways," Dehghani-Saft said in a statement. "No one is above the law — not any individual, not law enforcement, and not federal officials — no one."

An Arlington police spokeswoman said in a statement Thursday that the department is "containing information received from concerned community members. However, at this time, the information was not had direct contact with the involved parties and the police report has been filed regarding the incident."

According to Arnaldo, Mejia Hernandez was walking to a foreign along Columbia. Filer in Arlington on Aug. 11 when an unmarked truck came to a stop in front of him. Two men got out and began quickly moving toward him.

Some Annapolis residents are concerned about the impact of proposed city zoning changes

BY KATHERINE WILSON The Capitol

Annapolis planning staff says changes to simplify the city's zoning code will take the impact on the historic district's landscape, but some downtown residents worry the provisions could lead to unattended change as in new neighborhoods.

The city's planning team, including Chair of Comprehensive Planning Eric Loshinsky, says the proposed changes aim to make the current "complicated" zoning code more intuitive and align closer to the city's comprehensive plan by reducing the number of zoning districts.

Annapolis currently has 32 zoning districts, nearly double the number it had in 1991. The full plan, as currently proposed, would remove seven types of zoning districts, including two full plans for historic district. "We felt strongly, if they went away tomorrow, it would have no negative impact on the city," Loshinsky said.

Some residents, however, say the simplification of the zoning

code could allow for a significant increase in the number of downtown housing units.

"This is where there there families were raised, and there's doing nothing more than trying to make sure that it stays in the environment that they're familiar with and there's comfortable with," said Tom Knoch, the president of the Ward One Roadwork Association, which has not taken an official stance on the zoning changes.

The concerns came to a head Tuesday at an Annapolis Ward One Roadwork Association meeting, where Loshinsky presented the zoning plan to a room of over 60 city residents, most from Annapolis's historic district.

Individual members of the association expressed concerns about banning the downtown CEA, or special conservation residents, districts into nearby CL to conservation residences, districts. The switch would allow for some additional building options, including multibands housing.

Protests under most of these new building options would need

individual approval by the city's Board of Appeals.

"We have a hostility to single-family homes, and you want to split them up and put lots of capacity in there, and you haven't done the assessment to get there," said Katie McDermott, a downtown resident who ran in the Democratic primary for the District's County Government.

This zone change is a part of the city's goal of being preserving the historic district and bringing in more full-time residents, Loshinsky said, to diversify housing options bringing in a variety of people.

He said that due to other limitations in city code, most downtown homes could only be converted into duplicate or other small multibands homes.

The CEA district already has dozens of homes that are not compliant with the current zoning restrictions, including multibands residences and residences. The district needs of this zone will turn into CL to also the predominant residential zoning district in downtown.

Several residents cannot insure

with parking downtown, concerned that any additional residents in the historic district could exacerbate existing issues.

But the reactions on Tuesday weren't all negative. Malina Kestoshian, a 10-year resident of downtown, spoke in support of the changes, arguing that the plan could help bring younger people to downtown.

"I love the idea of not focusing our own single-family homes," Kestoshian said. "That's for people of our generation and older. These younger kids need an opportunity to get the foot in the door."

The zoning changes would need to be put into legislation and approved by the Annapolis City Council, which is not to receive recommendations from planning staff next month.

The other main change proposed for downtown zoning is to form part of Chair of Executive near State Circle into a C2 zoning district, called a special conservation professional office district. This would allow for more retail options on the street, including aisle shops and antique shops.

OBITUARIES

CHRISTOPHER BODDEN, 55

An old-school reporter who chronicled China's rise

BY STEPHEN BLUIG

Associated Press

YOKON — Christopher Bodden, a tenusman, old-school who carries reporter who brought a keen one-billed eye and a very sense of humor to decades of work in China. Taiwan and in war zones and political disasters across the globe for the Associated Press, has died. He was 55.

Mr. Bodden died Monday after a struggle with career and complexities from a stroke, his daughter, Ingrid, and Thursday by telephone from Taiwan.

Mr. Bodden, who spoke Great Mandans with a proud Taiwan accent, spent much of his career detailing China's rise to an economic, political and military superpower — and the accompanying friction from what critics have long called Beijing's heavy-handed efforts to establish dominance in Asia and beyond.

China was a reporter who would go anywhere and do anything for the story," said Charles Huttner, AP's former human chief in Beijing, after a huge guide. Huttner is a credit of the headquarters in 2006. Mr. Bodden composed his account from one devastated town, settimus by summons over text message because of damaged telecommunication networks. "It was one of the first eyewitness reports the AP and the world received about one of the worst earthquakes in decades," Huttner recalled.

He was an expert on politics and Chinese military issues

From AP because in Shanghai, Beijing and Taipei, Mr. Bodden was my team the new agency's prior person on Chinese politics and military issues, able to quickly determine the newsworthiness of the government's other abstract statements.

"It that with China would inevitably turn into a remarkable history of issues," said Death Wang Pajinan, former Senator China's new director. "He had astounding knowledge of the region and would be writing about China's military presence in the South China Sea, prior to Taiwan's intricate politics, and just as daily write about the political sensitivities of Tibet, Mongolia and China."

Christopher Bodden holds up a certificate to celebrate his 100th year with the Associated Press at the office in Beijing in 2016.

Mr. Bodden was born in Missouri on Sept. 9, 1970, but he spent parts of his childhood in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. His father was a Foreign Service officer and his mother a former diplomat, his daughter, Ingrid, said. Friends and colleagues remembered his love of the Bodden Red Sea, ancient punk rock — and his contagious enthusiasm for the job of journalism.

"He was the bleacher, palest person you'll ever need," yet also spoke phd-b-profect Chinese, said Ted Jarlsson, AP's former China news editor and news director for Asia. "So when the earthquake in Sichuan happened in 2009, he went out there, put us one of his ever-present half-ups to cover his hair, and shredded down. He passed as Chinese, started interviewing people and called under the scripture of the authorities."

He was always ready for adventure

Mr. Bodden joined the AP in 1990, in Taiwan, the self-governing democratic island China claims as its own, before working

as an editor on the agency's international desk in New York and then joining the AP bureau in Beijing as a correspondent, in 2000. He majored in history and Asian studies at Tufts University, graduating in 2002.

"Since Bodden was always ready for adventure, finding inflexible of Human Island, China, to try to report on the return of an American Air Force plane forced down in 2001, he was the best colleague to be with," said Raf Waley, a video journalist in the AP's Hong Kong lecture.

In a 2007 story on efforts to burnish the image of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Mr. Bodden described state broadcaster China Central Television leading its evening national news bulletin "with more than four minutes of uninterrupted clogging for Xi as he met with shoving citizens," and a Russian translator who "was so engrossed with reading a record speech by Xi. Butters [the official news agency] said, that he skipped lunch and dinner just to finish studying it."

While much of this might have

reached amusing to outsiders, Mr. Bodden was careful to note that "the domination of [XIX] image in official propaganda strikes, for more, the painful memories of the upheaval of the 1960s and '70s, when Mao [Jie] dong was acceded the status of never-dotted."

Julie Pao, AP's executive editor, remembered Mr. Bodden as not only an effective China correspondent but as a fellow journalist whose knowledge shrouded those around him.

"China can't deeply shoot in work and the state of on-the-ground reporting in such an important region of the world," she said. "His expertise informed AP's audiences for so many years, but also helped lift up so many colleagues."

Passion for family and work was his hallmark

Mr. Bodden was deeply proud of his two daughters and loved showing off their artwork and achievements — and creative Harbyshire estimates — to colleagues. "Every parent thinks their kids are the best, but, thank to God, some girls are both adorable and seriously tough coolers," he wrote of his children.

"He's only passionately loved what he did, as much as he loved being a dad," Ingrid had no said. She recalled that when her father spent long study reporting from Afghanistan during her childhood, "he would always have my mom his own compelling love and homework so we could work on them together. He never missed a spelling first week."

Mr. Bodden was also beloved by colleagues for his deep sense of humor, his knowledge of good local food and an oncologistic knowledge of work and TV comedies from the '70s and '80s.

Karen Living, an AP reporter in Hong Kong, said that 50% of those once told her about an old correspondent's description of news reporting as "the art of showing 50 pounds of national into a 10-pound each."

"Keeps!" Mr. Bodden told Living. "So didn't say national."

Mr. Bodden is survived by his wife, Son Ling, daughters Ingrid, 20, and Shawn, 35, the parsons and a nurse.

Never Stop Learning:

Lifelong Education & Curiosity at The Carnegie

While students across the region are heading back to classrooms over the next few weeks, there's a senior living community in Gaithersburg where the spirit of learning is a year-round pursuit. At The Carnegie at Washingtonian Center, curiosity isn't a phase of life, it's a daily practice, woven into everything from morning lectures to evening book clubs.

Tucked between Malcolm King Park and the shops and restaurants of Rio Lakefront and Downtown Crown, The Carnegie has built its reputation on resort-style amenities and five-star service. But ask members what keeps them energized, and many will point to the packed calendar of classes, workshops and conversations that fill the community's common spaces most days of the week.

That calendar gets a serious boost from a unique on-site partnership. The Carnegie is home to a satellite campus of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), a national program built around the idea that education doesn't stop at retirement; it gets better. Members have convenient, walk-downstairs access to OLLI's rotating slate of lectures and courses, taught by working professionals, retired academics and passionate hobbyists on everything from world history to art appreciation to current events.

The learning doesn't just flow in one direction, either. Many of the lecturers standing at the front of the room are members themselves, sharing expertise from the careers they built or passions they've pursued for decades. A retired engineer might lead a talk on the history of flight, a former diplomat might unpack a current events topic from firsthand experience, or a lifelong gardener might teach a session on native plants. More recently, one member who serves as a director of AI and

Data Analytics presented "AI – The Technology Disruptor," exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, everyday life and the future of work. It's a reminder that at The Carnegie, everyone in the room has something to teach as well as something to learn.

"Curiosity helps make life richer and more meaningful," said Ann Ruscoe, director of Life Enrichment at The Carnegie. "Whether someone wants to pick up a paintbrush for the first time in fifty years or finally read the classics they never got to, our job is to make sure that door is always open. We see members light up in these classes the same way they might have in their very first semester of college, and that spark matters for the mind just as much as it did back then."

That philosophy shows up throughout The Carnegie's programming, which extends well beyond the OLLI partnership. Weekly book clubs bring members together over coffee to debate everything from literary fiction to biography. Creative workshops in the community's dedicated studio spaces invite members to try watercolor, pottery or writing, often for the first time. Guest lectures from local historians, scientists and cultural figures round out a calendar designed to appeal to a wide range of interests, because no two curious minds are alike.

The benefits extend beyond an afternoon well spent. A growing body of research links continued learning and social engagement to better cognitive health and a stronger sense of purpose in later life, and Life Enrichment programming at The Carnegie is built with that connection at the forefront. Classes are designed to be social as much as intellectual, giving members regular reasons to gather, discuss and disagree amiably over ideas, the kind of engagement that keeps a mind, and a community, feeling young.

The Carnegie's commitment to multigenerational learning also shows up in its dedicated Grandkids Lounge, where members can share their own love of discovery with visiting grandchildren, and in community partnerships that connect members with the broader intellectual life of the region.

For prospective members considering a move to senior living, it's a reminder that this chapter of life can be a new beginning. In many ways, it is a return to the best parts of being a student: discovery, debate, and the delight of learning something new alongside people who are just as excited to learn.

To experience The Carnegie's lifelong learning programs in person, schedule a tour by calling 240.759.2605 or visiting lifeatthecarnegie.com.

REY LOPEZ / FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Rye Bunny, in the former Tail Up Goat, is a more casual spot from the duo behind that restaurant.

Metropolitan Washington Summer Restaurant Week

How often can you order multicourse meals in D.C. with dishes like paella chorizo y calamari from Fabio Trabocchi's award-winning Del Mar, beetroot salad topped with edible 24K gold at Kyojin, steak tartare at Cut by Wolfgang Puck in Georgetown, or hibiscus toffee pudding at Rasika Penn Quarter — and have the total bill clock in at $65 or less per diner? The Restaurant Association's Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week happens only twice a year, and the summer edition brings deals from restaurants across D.C., Virginia and Maryland, including many acclaimed spots like Elcielo, the Dabney, Amazonia, Mita and Moon Rabbit, as well as new hot spots, such as Rye Bunny, from the owners of Tail Up Goat, and the New Orleans-flavored Catahoula.

Three-course brunches and lunches clock in at either $25 or $35 per person, and a three-course dinner is either $40, $55 or $65 per person. Some restaurants create entirely new dishes for the occasion, like Fish Shop's "crumbed catfish with sauce gribiche and fries," which sounds like an upscale fish and chips, while Unconventional Diner and its sister restaurants are leaning into fan-favorite items, such as chicken pot pie poppers and chocolate cake.

When: Monday through Aug. 30. Some restaurants are extending specials beyond that date.

Where: See Restaurant Week website for participating restaurants, addresses and menus: rwdmv.com.

Prices: $25-$35 for brunch and lunch. $40-$65 for dinner.

Chuck Brown Day

D.C.'s 12th annual tribute to "Godfather of Go-Go" Chuck Brown is extra special this year. 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the invention of D.C.'s signature sound, as Brown encouraged his band the Soul Searchers to keep the groove going between songs. The "Legends of Go-Go" concert at Fort Dupont Park lives up to its name with performances by Junkyard Band, Backyard Band, E.U., Major League and the A-Team "featuring go-go all-stars," with DJ Kool serving as the DJ, and DJ Flexx as the MC.

When: Saturday from 2 to 7 p.m. Gates open at 11 a.m.

Where: Fort Dupont Park, 3600 F St. NE, 12thannualchuckbrown day.splashthat.com.

Admission: Free.

National Park Week

America's National Park Service is celebrating a big birthday this year, turning 110 — just 140 years younger than the Declaration of Independence. National Park Week celebrates both of those milestones this year, with themed days like "Safety Sunday" and "Watch Wildlife Wednesday." The capstone is

the 110th birthday celebration on Tuesday, which waives the fee at all national parks. Save a few bucks when entering Great Falls Park, normally priced at $20 for private vehicles, and join a special 1.5-mile commemorative hike at 11 a.m. in honor of the park's 60th birthday. Other events include a lunchtime concert series at the D.C. War Memorial on the National Mall (Sunday through Aug. 28 at 1 p.m.), and a trip to Maryland's Catoctin Mountain Park on National Junior Ranger Day on Saturday, where little naturalists can play bingo, earn junior ranger badges, pose in a photo

booth and participate in a guided hike.

When: Saturday through Aug. 30.

Where: Find a list of experiences on the National Park Service's website, nps.gov.

Admission: Free.

Washington Folk Festival

Music, dance and storytellers fill six stages at Glen Echo Park during the Folklore Society of Greater Washington's annual festival. Watch Andalucian flamenco or traditional Bulgarian dance, or hit the dance floor while swing, zydeco and Middle Eastern party bands perform in the historic Spanish Ballroom or the outdoor bumper car pavilion. With the sounds of Ireland, Turkey, Japan and Paraguay mingling with American-style blues and bluegrass, it's a day of culture and fun for all ages. Beyond the entertainment, the day includes food trucks and a kid-friendly area. Get there early for the opening event: a bagpipe procession around the park.

When: Sunday from noon to 7 p.m.

Where: Glen Echo Park, 7300 MacArthur Blvd., Glen Echo. fsgw.org.

Admission: Free.

Femme Art Fair

Works by more than 100 established and emerging women artists will take over 35,000 square feet at the Square food hall in downtown D.C. during the inaugural Femme Art Fair. The team behind the Umbrella Art Fair envisions this event — timed around Women's Equality Day on Aug. 26 — as both a marketplace and a platform to create opportunity and visibility for women artists. The fair includes daily programming, such as Thursday's conversation with the anonymous collective Guerrilla Girls, who began provocatively campaigning against sexism and racism in the art world in 1985, as well as panel discussions, workshops for artists, yoga, and weekend dance parties.

When: Thursday, Aug. 28 and Aug. 29 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Aug. 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Where: The Square, 1850 K St. NW, femmeartfair.com.

Tickets: $23.18 for single-day tickets, $44.52 for a weekend pass.

Ask Elazar Excerpts from Post food critic Elazar Sontag's online discussion

Q: Sharing one of my pet peeves: Restaurants that offer specials that are recited in detail by the server but with no mention of the price of the item either during the spiel or on a written menu insert. I hate to be 'that person,' but my choice may be different if the special is a few dollars more than the other dish I'm considering, or \$30 to \$40 more.

A: I get it! Nothing wrong with being That Person, and even less wrong with asking for the price when they're done with their spiel. A restaurant is a business, and it's entirely fair to ask how much you're paying for the goods/services.

Q: I went to brunch this weekend at the Simon at the new JW Marriott in Reston. The restaurant was mostly empty — three other tables were filled when we arrived. One table had two parents with four children. Their youngest loudly shrieked over and over for the duration of our 1.5-hour meal. The parents did nothing. The other three children were glued to their tablets and phones and thankfully remained quiet. The staff did nothing. The people at the other two tables left quickly after finishing their meal and we did as well. What would you do in this situation when the staff clearly didn't care about the noise and the parents were oblivious? We were there to celebrate a special occasion, and we left really disappointed.

A: How comfortable are you with confrontation? I'm half-joking, but my honest answer is that this is a crappy situation without a satisfying — or at least frictionless — solution. Here are the options:

1. You can grit your teeth and ignore it. For a momentary kid meltdown or a situation that is slightly unpleasant but where parents seem invested and apologetic/are generally doing their best, this my pick. This does not sound like that situation, given that they refused to address the issue for so long.

2. You can try to involve a manager. In theory, you could involve your server directly, but frankly, they probably are not getting paid enough to deal with such unpleasant situations. They also may not know whether they are 'allowed' to raise the issue with the other diners, who are also paying customers. So try to find a manager who may or may not decide to do anything about the issue. Usually, my best guess is that they will be very apologetic but not do much. In an ideal world, they'll have training for how to deal with situations like this, but it's awkward and unpleasant for them, too.

3. Here's where your appetite

When there's a wait for a table at Bar del Monte, diners gather in the herb garden out back and sip drinks. The Mount Pleasant restaurant is among those that have embraced a walk-in-only model.

for confrontation comes in. You could go over to the table and try — very kindly! but confidently — to express your frustration. You know kids are a handful, and that everyone needs a night out, but the noise has been ongoing for 90 minutes (!), and you're hoping they can take their kid outside, please. The response to this? It could go in any direction. Best case, they've been living in Parent World for so long, they didn't realize what a disruption they were causing.

Ultimately, you don't have control over other diners/people/parents/families/the world, and there is a collective responsibility involved here. I believe we all have a responsibility to tolerate a baseline of children being in public, because that's where children learn to be adults! But parents have an equal responsibility to ensure their children are actually learning how to be in public ... that was not happening here.

Q: Hello! I'll be in New York City on my birthday in a few weeks. Do you have any suggestions for a good weekday breakfast? I'll likely be staying in Harlem or Midtown. Unfortunately I'll need to leave for the airport before noon, so options are limited.

A: If you are in Harlem, you must go to Cocina Consuelo and eat the pancakes for me. They are sublime. This, actually, is reason enough to choose Harlem over Midtown — though, to be fair, there are many other reasons to choose Harlem over Midtown. If you end up in Midtown, you

could head to S&P for a very New York lunch counter experience.

Q: We will be traveling to Dublin and then Edinburgh/Scotland before joining much anticipated small ship cruise. We have four days in each location. We live in a major restaurant city (Chicago) so are not looking for major players as much as interesting, local-loved under-the-radar places with great food and atmosphere. We are open to one high end in each location, but casual is great too. We eat everything. Suggestions?

A: I love any opportunity to tap in my Ireland Correspondent (my wonderful sister-in-law, Rebecca, who is from Cork). Her picks for Dublin: Uno Mas, Pickle, Matt the Thresher, Johnnie Fox's Pub.

Q: We are going to see 'Tony' in Georgetown and wanted to eat somewhere that would honor Anthony Bourdain's spirit. Any place in Georgetown you could recommend?

A: I can't speak for Anthony Bourdain, but I think the independent spirit of My Little Chamomile will do the trick, as opposed to some of the shinier, big-name-chef restaurants that have been opening around those parts lately.

Q: My husband and I will be going to a 7:30 p.m. (Saturday night, if that makes a difference) show at DAR Constitution Hall next month. Can you recommend some nearby options (like within walking distance)? We are

game for pretty much any type of cuisine. And, if any of the places would require a reservation, that would be good to know.

A: The Occidental! If you walk across E Street NW instead of around the park, it's 13 minutes. Definitely make a reservation. A little further (closer to 20 minutes), Isla will also give you the feel of a special-event preshow dinner.

Q: The Wall Street Journal online had an article about restaurant reservations and reservation apps that contained some worrisome information, including about the burgeoning secondary market that trades prime reservations ('Appointment Trader' is the name of the one WSJ focuses on), and suggesting this contributes to the phenomenon — which I've noticed here in D.C. — that '[t]he only times available on the apps are either 5 p.m. or 10:30 p.m., or every possible slot is gone, even though you logged on at midnight, weeks in advance.' The WSJ also recommends calling for reservations in lieu of using the apps. Since you've been a national diner for years, I'd love your reactions to this article.

A: Sadly, this isn't new. The issue seems to have really ramped up in the mid- and post-pandemic period, when restaurants began setting aside more seats for reservations to better gauge the flow of diners in their dining rooms. We all got very dependent on the apps, and a nasty secondary market popped up. Funny aside: Reservation apps

have tried to combat bots snatching up reservations to be resold on these platforms, which is a good thing for everyone in the world ... except me, because sometimes the technology thinks one of my dining aliases is just another bot. While at Bon Appétit, I edited an article about the emergence of our weird, intense reservation culture. That was back in 2022, and things seem as weird and intense as ever, with a few exceptions. One interesting change over the last few years is that more restaurants seem to be embracing a walk-in-only model. Locally, you've got Bar Del Monte, Gemini, Maru San and Rye Bunny all doing some version of that. Perhaps restaurants are as tired of this cultural frenzy as some diners are. As for what to do about the reservation wars as a diner, I still find that if I set a reservation notification for a hard-to-get-into restaurant — even somewhere as buzzy as Albi — I often get alerts for available tables. The issue, of course, is that those free tables usually aren't for the same night or even necessarily the same week, which puts a serious damper on spontaneity. Then again, popular restaurants have always been hard to get into, so I don't want to be too sign-of-the-times about it all. My best advice, really, is to plan ahead for the special occasions that warrant a trip somewhere that requires some planning, and to build up a stable of neighborhood restaurants that reliably have space and always treat you right. They are, for my money, just as rewarding.

Q: Our family (mom, dad, 13-year-old) are headed to Oregon for a week. Most of our time will be spent in the Newport area, but a couple days in Eugene and Portland. Looking for any and all restaurant recommendations — everything from the best seafood joints to carryout pizza, Thai, etc. A: I can only speak to Portland. Kann is one of the best restaurants anywhere, if you're looking for a special occasion (fancy, but not no-kids fancy). For lunch, you have to hit my beloved Nong's Khao Man Gai. For Thai, Phuket is wonderful and a great, buzzy restaurant to bring a kid to. For casual but excellent Burmese food, go to Rangoon Ristro. For noodle soups, Rose VL and Ha VL (currently closed for renovations, it seems) are essential. For coffee (and kakigori for the little one), you can't beat Courier Coffee. I could keep going — I LOVE PORTLAND — but I'll stop. Have a fabulous trip. Report back.

CRAIG HUDSON FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Arsenal fans at Franklin Hall on Sunday. Franklin Hall, north of U Street, is the main bar for Arsenal supporters in the District and a good spot for fans of Bukayo Saka.

Where to watch when your favorite soccer player takes to the pitch

BY FRITZ HAHN

During this summer's World Cup, you couldn't scroll through social media without finding a foreign soccer fan marveling at our ranch dressing, air conditioning or gas stations the size of a small town. But the cultural exchange was a two-way street, as Americans fell for stars like charismatic Norway striker Erling Haaland, who helped his team Viking-row into the quarterfinals, and fleet-footed Spanish teenager Lamine Yamal, who became the third-youngest player to win a World Cup.

Now that the tournament's over, fans can still watch Haaland, France's Kylian Mbappé or England's Bukayo Saka banging in goals for the next nine months — they'll just be doing it for their club teams in Europe.

Haaland plays for Manchester City in the English Premier

League. The Capital City Blues, the official supporters club that organizes viewing parties in D.C. every weekend, is seeing an increase in new fans. "The Haaland effect seems to be in force, with the many requests we've been receiving daily to join the Cap City Blues," Leah Turner, the group's chairman, says in an email. The Blues moved their gatherings to Whitlow's on U Street before last season, and Turner says they've been hitting capacity for big matches such as the FA Cup final and games against rival Manchester United. Attention on Haaland might lead to even bigger crowds.

Whether you fell in love with a player during the World Cup or you've been following a team for decades, there are plenty of places to watch your favorite European leagues around the D.C. area. Fifteen of the 20 Premier League teams have a fan club or designat-

ed bar in the region. Fans of teams from Spain, Germany, France and Italy also have places to gather. And supporters of FC Barcelona, one of the world's most popular teams, have a new spot to cheer for their side.

Here's where to go if you want to watch a particular player:

Norway and Manchester City's Erling Haaland

Where: Whitlow's on U Street Haaland didn't come into the World Cup as an unknown quantity — he's been the top scorer in the Premier League three of the past four seasons, helping Manchester City to a pair of titles. But Haaland's fame rocketed during the World Cup as fans were captivated by his quirky Instagram posts as much as his goal-scoring prowess. Expect to see more of that on display at Whitlow's on U, home of the Capital City Blues supporters club. Among the trib-

utes to Haaland: a $5 coffee drink called the Norwegian Wake-Up Call, with cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla, inspired by Haaland's go-to coffee order and perfect for those 7:30 a.m. kickoffs. Or, if you need something extra, it can be spiked with whiskey or Baileys, and will cost $10. 901 U St. NW.

Spain and Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Pedri

Where: Cantina El Rey Navy Yard

The biggest transfer of the off-season in D.C.: The Penya Barcelonista Washington DC, the official Barcelona supporters club, left its longtime home at the Elephant and Castle pub downtown and moved to Cantina El Rey across from Nationals Park. A representative says that the Penya will be meeting there "for the foreseeable future," so fans will be able to watch Yamal and his superstar teammates, including Pe-

dri and Raphinha, on indoor and outdoor TVs at the waterfront bar. New members of the Penya ($40 individual, $75 family) receive a 20 percent discount on food and drinks. 79 Potomac Ave. SE.

France's Kylian Mbappé and England's Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid

Where: Real Madrid at Elephant and Castle

Two of the best players at the World Cup share a team in Spain's La Liga, and they will be looking to improve on last season's second-place finish with teammates like Vinicius Júnior and Federico Valverde under the direction of new coach José Mourinho. With the local Barcelona supporters moving out of Elephant and Castle, the official Peña Madridista will have the pubby downtown watering hole all to itself for the

first time in years. 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.

England and Bayern Munich's Harry Kane

Where: O'Sullivan's and the Brig

With more than 750 members, the DC Bayern Capitol 11 boasts that it's the largest Bayern Munich fan club in America. The Capitol 11 meets at O'Sullivan's Irish Pub in Clarendon, where they've partnered on game-watch events with the German Embassy and celebrated Kane's goals and multiple league titles with mugs of Paulaner beer. Supporters who don't want to cross the river can join the D.C.-based Mia San District fan club at the Brig, a beer garden at the south end of Barracks Row. O'Sullivan's: 3207 Washington Blvd., Arlington. The Brig: 1007 Eighth St. SE.

was only one of several Arsenal players with a memorable World Cup: Spain's Mikel Merino scored game-winning goals in consecutive knockout games, while Martin Odegaard captained Norway to its best-ever finish. The main bar for Arsenal supporters in D.C. is Franklin Hall, north of U Street. The capacity is over 350, but fans were lining up hours before matches last season as the club closed in on its first championship in 22 years, and members of

the D.C. Armoury filled both sides of the bar with songs and chants. Expect more of the same this season. The Arlington Gooners, another official supporters group, meet at Ireland's Four Courts. Other Arsenal-centric options include Easy Tiger Tavern in Adams Morgan, which shows every game with full sound, and Gold Clover Bar in Bloomingdale, which doesn't open for every match but draws a solid neighborhood crowd when it does.

USA and Juventus's Weston McKennie

Where: Problem Child

The sad truth for new fans of the U.S. national team: If you want to keep up with World Cup breakout stars such as Folarin Balogun or Malik Tillman, you're probably going to do so from the comfort of your couch, since you'd have to go to New York City to find supporters clubs for teams like Monaco (Balogun) or Bayer Leverkusen (Tillman). That's why we're suggesting you follow America's ranch-loving midfield general McKennie, who plays for Juventus in Italy's Serie A and was named to the league's team of the season for 2025-2026. The D.C. Juventus Supporters' Club meets at Problem Child, a low-key sports bar near Nationals Park, where the menu includes a Peroni and Fernet combo. 1201 Half St. SE.

Argentina and Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez

Where: The Queen Vic

The Argentine goalkeeper is a known commodity — he was named the top goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Copa América — but his heroic performance in the 2026 World Cup final, when he set a record with 11 saves despite a broken finger, won him new admirers. Also, frankly, Martinez is bonkers, especially his distracting "mind games" before penalty kicks. The Capital Villains, the supporters group for Aston Villa, will be gathering at the Queen Vic on H Street NE. Yes, the Vic is probably the area's best-known Liverpool bar, home to D.C.'s official supporters club. But it has hosted D.C.'s only official Aston Villa fan club since before the pandemic. Things could be fun when the teams meet in December. 1206 H St. NE.

How to use your time wisely at the National Book Festival

BY ADELE CHAPIN

The saying "no many books, so little time" really applies to the National Book Festival. This annual event from the Library of Congress takes over the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., bringing in more than 80 authors for a jam-packed day of literary programming. Here's what to know before you go:

Organize your day

If you want to head to the convention center with a plan as opposed to wandering aimlessly, open the Library of Congress's nifty online planning tool, peruse the online schedule and use the "Add to calendar" button to organize all of your must-see events. You can search by genre, author, event type and more. Free tickets are required for the first time this year, so make sure you snag those before you arrive, as well.

Head to the main stage

Astronauts, movie stars and more will grace the largest stage of the festival, which seats 2,200 people. This year's main stage headliners include Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman — fresh off this spring's lunar flyby — as well as "Saturday Night Live" alum (and children's author) Kate McKinnon and thriller writer Karin Slaughter. Douglas Brinkley and Annette Gordon-Reed, contributors to National Geographic's "1,000 Days in America," are also set to break down that illustrated history. Hollywood royalty such as director Martin Scorsese and "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo will take the stage, as well, and "Sin City" author Frank Miller will discuss his new memoir.

Explore the unknown

The festival is known for enlisting popular literary fiction and nonfiction authors; this year's roster of novelists includes Ann Patchett, Tom Perrotta and Andrew Sean Greer, while Patrick Radden Keefe and Annie Lowrey are appearing on the nonfiction side. But the festival has increased its genre programming over the past few years, and this might be the perfect opportunity to expand your literary horizons.

For example, the booming romance genre is well represented. Tia Williams, author of "The Perfect Find" and now the "The Missed Connection," makes her festival debut this year. Later, you can enjoy back-to-back romance discussions: YA bestsellers Roshani Chokshi and I.V. Marie are going to talk through their dark fantasy novels before novel-

SHARON MILLER

Crowds fill the Washington Convention Center at 2025's National Book Festival. This year's festival features more than 80 authors and, for the first time, requires free tickets, so make sure to snag those.

EMILY DORIO

Ann Patchett, above, and former "Saturday Night Live" comic Kate McKinnon, below, are among the authors appearing at the festival, which also includes programming for youngsters.

ALEXANDER CARILLO VACCHIO

ist Jennifer Lynn Barnes discusses the trope of teen protagonists in love with love.

Interact with the authors

Almost every session ends with a Q&A where anyone can take the

mic and contribute to the discussion. "That's part of the reason we put on this festival, is so that people can engage with these ideas and ask what they want to know," says Library of Congress literary director Clay Smith. Get-

ting a book signed is another way to engage with an author, and volunteers from the Junior League of Washington help facilitate the plethora of on-site signings.

Embrace kid-friendly activities

Youngsters who can't get enough of Meg Cabot's "The Princess Diaries" graphic novels or Lauren Tarshis's "I Survived" nonfiction series will want to meet the authors in person. But there's far more programming for families beyond lectures and signings.

Little ones will love story time at the Story District, while the STEM District focuses on scientific experiments and demos from the likes of the National Children's Museum and Maryland Language Science Center. Kids can create their own story book with the children's literacy nonprofit Reading is Fundamental, design a bead bracelet as part of a Fashion at the Library activity, or collect stamps at Roadmap to Reading tables representing American states and territories.

Have a good laugh

In addition to McKinnon's main-stage talk, visitors can look forward to more comedic moments. "PBS NewsHour" broadcaster Geoff Bennett is surely going to crack a joke or two while discussing his debut book, "Black Out Loud: The Revolutionary History of Black Comedy From Vaudeville to '90s Sitcoms."

Meanwhile, "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" author Maria Semple partners with "The Bloggess" humorist Jenny Lawson for a panel titled "Mostly Okay and Only Crying a Little."

Watch a multimedia program

For something more dramatic, the Library of Congress Veterans History Project is working with author Max Brooks to present a version of his graphic novel "The Harlem Hellfighters" — about the 369th Infantry Regiment in World War I — as a radio play.

Celebrate America's 250th birthday

The festival is trying to put a creative spin on its semiquincentennial-themed programming, whether that's surveying 250 years of American children's books or diving into cookbooks published in 1876 to celebrate the U.S. centennial. There's also a panel themed around the Lewis and Clark expedition that unites Craig Fehrman (author of "This Vast Enterprise: A New History of Lewis & Clark") with Elizabeth Adelman (who penned "Chasing Lewis's Monkeyflower" about the plant specimens gathered by the explorers).

Attend a workshop

The Workshop Space, an interactive festival stage that debuted last year, returns for 2026. Visitors can use the space to learn a new skill, whether that's creating your own podcast with the Kitchen Sisters from NPR, taking a fiction writing class with novelist Angie Kim, or learning how to draw Native American pictographs with Standing Rock Sioux author-illustrator S.D. Nelson. "This expands the world of books beyond just listening to two writers speak with a moderator," Smith says.

Learn to research like a librarian

The librarians take center stage at this special corner of the festival, where LOC staff give 30-minute talks all day about a variety of topics. Among them: how fragile tomes are preserved; the library's use of artificial intelligence; and its new experiential gallery, the Source.

Shop the festival gift store

Politics and Prose is the festival's official bookseller, and every book featured during the festivities will be on sale at the local literary chain's on-site shop. You'll also be able to pick up freebies (while supplies last), such as a colorful festival poster and a tote bag to carry home all of your newest reads.

Where to get lost in a good book

Readerly types share their favorite public spots to dig into some prose, from the cozy to chaotic

BY ADELE CHAPIN

Reading is usually a private experience, and there's nothing like curling up in your favorite chair with a good book. But perhaps just as rewarding, and maybe even inspiring, is cracking open a book in a reader-friendly public space. The overheard conversations, the fresh air, the smell of coffee — all this can enrich your journey through the pages. ¶ The D.C. area is full of such opportunities, indoors and out. To that end, we asked local indie bookstore owners, book influencers, literary agents and readerly types to share their favorite places to get lost in a book.

Museums and a monument

Laurie Gillman, the owner of Capitol Hill's East City Bookshop, likes to take a book to one of D.C.'s free museums, find a quiet gallery surrounded by masterworks and sit down to read. The Garden Court in

the National Gallery of Art's East Building is one of her favorite spots.

Gillman is not alone in choosing museums as a reading retreat. Jessica Berg of the Rosehill literary

agency in Arlington loves spending time at the Hitchhorn Museum and Inulpture Garden. "When it's daily out, the options are more limited, but I love spending time at the Hitchhorns," she says. "It's word and funky, and the cafe is really good."

The undulating, climate-controlled glass atrium at the National Portrait Gallery's Kogod Courtyard also garnered top marks with the literary crowd as a perfect place to read in public.

"It's a nice, bright spot to settle in with a good book," says Ally Kirkpatrick, the owner of Old Town Books in Alexandria.

The National Portrait Gallery also plays best to a monthly event in its Great Hall for the D.C. chapter of Reading Rhythms, an organization that stages "reading parties," gathering bibliophiles to read silently together beneath the grand room's vaulted ceilings.

"You look up and it's beautiful artwork above you on the ceiling," says Reading Rhythms D.C. host Ellen Le. "And as the run was, it creates very romantic lighting."

When the weather's nice, book lovers can't go wrong camping out on a bench or on the grass on the National Hall or in the National Gallery's Inulpture Garden, and spending the afternoon reading and people watching.

But for a more under-the-radar location, Lelia Nebeker, a book buyer at One More Page Books in Arlington, recommends the National Japanese American Memorial in downtown D.C. as a tranquil place to read. "Fast warning, there's not a lot of back-support, but it's a beautiful place," she says.

Bookstores and libraries

Two of D.C.'s most famous bookstores – Politics and Prose on Connecticut Avenue SW and Koppers Bookstore at Deposit Circle – have in-house cafes, where no one will get annoyed if you linger at a table while reading. Christian Dickason, half of the book influencing the @revehagmenquart on Instagram, enjoys the Don Cothebeane and Wine Bar at Politics and Prose, noting that you'll find "good coffee, fellow bookish people and an entire bookstore right above your head if you finish your current read."

Book Instagrammer Morgan Monroe of @greelyhithtieshelshelf is Team Kinnock, where, she says,

"nothing pairs better than your current read and french fries."

Quill & Crumb, the Hogwarts-esque cafe at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Gilchrist's go-to reading spot. "What could be more perfect than reading while surrounded by Shakespeare's works and spirit?" she says.

Kyle Bock, co-owner of Capitol Hill Books near Eastern Market, doesn't mind if readers set up camp in the mysteries section on the overall floor of the shop.

"Each of the windows in the room has a chair and a lamp in front of it so the light is good, you've surrounded by thousands of books, and it's a nice quiet spot. I've taken many a break in that space as the company of whatever novel I'm reading," he says.

Lisa Varga, associate executive director for public policy and advocacy at the D.C.-based American Library Association, calls out the cozy, pillow-strown window bench at Friends to Lovett common-bookstore in Old Town Alexandria as a perfect reading book. But on warm days, you'll find her on the rooftop desk at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in downtown D.C.

"There's ample bench space," she says, "whether you want to hide among the native plants in the garden or grab a suit with a city view. It's private, serene and safe, and you're supporting our libraries with every visit."

Cafes and bars

Coffee shops are a national fit for polishing off a chapter or two of your latest read. Little District Books owner Patrick Kurn calls out Air bra Ace on Capitol Hill and the Coffee Bar in Logan Circle. "Both of these are really just great vibes and great people," he says.

Gillman, of East City Bookshop, likes to stop at Peregrine Espresso on Capitol Hill on her way to or from her store. "It's small, so it's best during off-stone when it's not too crowded," she says.

Book Instagrammer and content creator Tisha Cadet supports Givaudan, a Black-owned planning cafe and wellness studio in Southeast Washington for both its mancha and its greenery. "I love being among the plants while I read. It brings a relaxing energy," she says.

In Maryland, Amy Joyce, a former Washington Post editor who now co-owns Wonderland Books in Bethesda, sticks close to her store for a reading break at nearby patineria 'East de Sweet or smoothie destination Rootsoft. In Virginia, Nebeker likes to settle in one of the wingback chairs at Kille Church's Cafe Kindred.

"But if you can't manage that spot, you can sit at their bar with a book while European soccer plans."

silently on the TV,” she says.

Want a glass of wine or a cocktail with your reading material? The team at Lost City Books in Northwest Washington recommends All Souls in the Shaw neighborhood and Lapop in Adams Morgan, where, according to book seller Ben Lenox, “it feels like a big family gathering in which I’ve found a cozy corner to listen to the chaos but not have to participate.”

Lupita Aquino of @Lupita.Reads on Instagram likes to read at the cozy bar at Little Coco’s in Columbia Heights, particularly during its $36 aperitivo hour. For Emilee Saigh of @Emsspicybookshelf, Mount Vernon Triangle’s La Betty is a reading destination day or night, with pastries in the a.m. or natural wine in the evening.

The great outdoors

Basking in the warm sun and fresh air is even better with a book. When Adam Waterreus, owner of Lost City Books, wants to read outside on a beautiful day, he heads to

Kalorama Park and settles in next to the flower garden.

Lost City associate Melina Rowin favors different outdoor reading spots for different seasons. “I like to sit along the Valley Trail in Rock Creek Park and read during the fall when the leaves are crunchy,” she says. “I also love laying a blanket down in Fort Reno Park during late summer because it is just so wide open — I am never bothered.”

For Morgan Menzies, Meridian Hill Park (also known as Malcolm X Park) is her reading spot of choice, picnic blanket in tow. The vibe at the park is like a backyard hang for the whole neighborhood, as families and kids meet up for playdates, friends toss a Frisbee or kick a soccer ball, and the Sunday afternoon drum circle, Menzies says, serves as a “live soundtrack.”

The gazebo in Takoma Park near

the town center is a favorite spot for Mylo Garrin, event manager at nearby People’s Book. “It isn’t too far from some of my favorite restaurants for when I get hungry, and it’s just around the corner from our store so I can pick up a new book if I finish mine while I’m out.”

For water views, book influencer Kelsi Pilcher of @balancedbookshelf loves to head to the Wharf in Southwest Washington, grabbing gelato from Pitango to eat while reading near the yachts docked on the Potomac River. “I’ve caught a few sunsets, too, and reading as the sun goes down is such a nice treat to myself at the end of the day,” she says.

Finally, for a truly unique reading spot, Burk of Capitol Hill Books combines two pastimes: baseball and books.

When there’s a lull in the action at Nationals Park, he’ll pick up a book. “I’m one of those people who take a book to baseball games, purists be damned,” he says. “At this point, I’ve seen the Presidents Race hundreds of times — I can take those couple of minutes to get some reading in.”

Mutiny ★★☆☆

DAW SMITH/LOUNSGATE

Statham’s latest doesn’t rock the boat

Taut action-thriller could use a little more of actor’s bonkers side

Tribune News Service

The latest Jason Statham joint, “Mutiny,” isn’t playing coy with its references. The film, directed by Jean-François Richet, written by Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis, is “Die Hard” on a container ship, and a new poster pays direct homage to the 1988 Bruce Willis action classic.

“Mutiny” is retro in its execution

tion too; it’s simply a clean, classic, high-concept action film with a dependable star, in which the suspense builds steadily and methodically, punctuated with bursts of beautifully choreographed violence. The screenplay alternates between info dumps and basic lines of dialogue delivered stonily by an international cabal of anonymous stuntmen. There are a lot of Dutch angles, and Statham’s “gun-fu” has never been better. It’s the kind of movie that would be absolutely glorious to happen upon playing on TNT on a Saturday afternoon, or scrolling through the film selections on a plane.

But don’t you like it a little bit more when your Jason Statham movies break bad? The action star

has been honing his tough, stoic hero bit for going on 25 years. Sometimes he lets his British cheekiness show, but for the most part, he’s the taciturn center in the eye of the storm, with his sleek, aerodynamic bald head and lethally efficient combat style.

Sometimes whatever’s happening around him is fairly straightforward, heavy-duty action stuff (“Wrath of Man,” “The Transporter,” “The Italian Job”) and sometimes, it’s absolutely insane, mind-boggling and kooky, Statham’s persona a contrast against the chaos (“The Beekeeper,” “The Meg,” “A Working Man,” plus the “Expendables” and “Fast and Furious” franchises). It creates a fun friction for Statham as an actor, side-eyeing wild villains

and their henchmen, punching a shark in the face, etc. It’s just more fun to watch him keep a straight face in these outrageous situations, and “Mutiny” keeps things grounded, even on the open ocean.

Richet also directed the Gerard Butler vehicle “Plane,” and so he’s gone from the skies to the seas with “Mutiny,” an uncomplicated action-thriller about a bodyguard with daddy issues seeking vengeance. We get a lightning quick setup: Cole Reed (Statham) is a former British cop who lost his father and has found a new family with his billionaire security clients, who run a global shipping company. Upon the announcement of a corporate sale, patriarch Tibu (Ramon Tikaram) is

Jason Statham plays Cole Reed, who infiltrates a cargo ship to seek vengeance for the murder of his billionaire boss and uncovers a human trafficking operation along the way.

assassinated in an ambush, and Cole infiltrates his company’s ship Artemis in order to find out who’s behind the murder, uncovering a human trafficking operation in the process. Annabelle Wallis plays Ellis, the ship’s unlikely and too-pretty third mate, who gives Statham an assist with the random international badges who make up the crew. Also, there are pirates.

PRIME VIDEO

'MUTINY' FROM 15

Everything you expect to happen in this down-the-middle plot happens here; every few scenes there's a character background exposition or some decently fun fights. But in a year when "The Furious," "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and even "Motor City" have delivered some eye-popping and gnarly stunts, the basic execution of "Mutiny" isn't enough to raise the blood. There is one delightful sequence where a fire ax, giant fishhook and speargun come into play on a gangway. But we want more — Statham can handle it.

What "Mutiny" is missing

most is an over-the-top villain. The mastermind behind it all is too cool and refined, and while Roland Møller is intriguing as corrupt Captain Marko Madsen, he's not given anything to work with, story-wise. Once we're on the ship, chaos erupts and then it's all sneaking around different parts of the boat. Adrian Lester brings some much-needed subtle humor as a deadpan U.S. naval officer who reads between the lines of Ellis's distress calls, but honestly, it's all a little bit boring.

Richet executes the whole thing with an almost sterile cleanliness. Sweeping drone shots of luxurious mansions illus-

trate the smooth-running life of ease that Cole has established for his high-profile clients; but things get shaken up a bit aboard the Artemis, with handheld jig-gles signaling the rougher (metaphorical) seas ahead. It's fine, if predictable, stylistically.

When it comes to Statham's oeuvre, pick your poison: do you like him plainly heroic, or handling chaos? As a connoisseur, I'm choosing "bonkers" every time, and unfortunately, the sturdy "Mutiny" doesn't deliver nearly enough on that front.

R. At area theaters. Contains strong/bloody violence and language. 95 minutes.

Common Sense Media What parents need to know

Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie (PG)

AGE 8+

Canine heroes meet dinos in engaging but perilous adventure.

Based on Nickelodeon's beloved preschool-targeted animated series, this big-screen adventure sees Ryder (voiced by Henry Bolan) and his canine crew discover a mysterious island full of dinosaurs. The Paw Patrol movies have had plenty of rescue action, but things get a bit more intense here, with dogs and other animals frequently in peril amid river rapids, a dinosaur stampede and a volcano that spews fireballs and lava. A main character is briefly knocked out, and a family has to be saved from a flaming boat. A big storm hits the pups' ship, and one character searches for a missing friend in the jungle at night. There's little iffy content beyond that (language is limited to a few uses of words such as "crazy," "butt" and "stinky"), and you can expect lots of kid-friendly messages about courage, perseverance, teamwork and learning from mistakes. (88 minutes)

Available in theaters.

The End of Oak Street (PG-13)

AGE 14+

An intense, bloody and overly familiar dinosaur thriller.

Set in 1982, this intense science-fiction thriller follows a suburban neighborhood that's suddenly transported back to a time when deadly dinosaurs roamed. Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor play feuding parents who try to keep their two kids safe from the terrifying predators. Be ready for lots of

dinosaur threats and attacks: The large, scary beasts snatch and eat people, chomp at body parts (including a head) and drag off bloody bodies. People use weapons against them: a

knife, a fireplace poker, a sledgehammer, a baseball bat, arrows and a gun. There's also bullying, slapping, shouting and arguing. A fairly graphic (but comical) scene shows two

dinosaurs mating. A boy also looks at an adult magazine, and characters hug and kiss. Language includes one use of "f—ing," as well as "s—," "sons of b—es," "a—" and "oh my God." A main character secretly drinks from a hidden bottle of whiskey, and there's brief dialogue about kids smoking and drinking. (99 minutes)

Available in theaters.

Insidious: Out of the Further (PG-13)

AGE 14+

Jump scares can't reenergize worn-out horror franchise.

The sixth film in the horror franchise mostly overhauls the cast while introducing a new protagonist: Gemma (Amelia Eve), a mother who must protect herself and her daughter from an evil entity when nightmares start to enter real life. There's murder

and suicide, and other disturbing content includes jump scares, icky noises, smeared blood, head bashing, throat slicing, a fingernail getting yanked off, gunfire and a child in peril. There's a bit of romance and a brief kiss. Infrequent language includes a use of "f—," plus "s—," "a—," "b—," "screw," "hell," "Jesus" and "frickin'" (106 minutes) Available in theaters.

AGE 15+

Language and bloody violence in DC Comics superhero series.

This DC Comics series, starring Kyle Chandler as Green Lantern and Aaron Pierre as his trainee, combines elements of superhero tales (special powers, otherworldly threats, sex-fi violence) with detective dramas (a murder mystery, sleuthing partners). We see the aftermath of a mass murder, with bloody bodies strewn across a football field, and characters use guns. Two people who've just met have sex in a car, with rhythmic movements and moaning (but no nudity), and one of them smokes a cigarette afterward. Infrequent language includes "f—," "s—," "damn," "a—," "goddamn" and "hell." People drink heavily in bars, and one character's alcohol habit is referred to regularly. (Seven episodes)

Available on HBO Max.
