PDP to punish dissidents with ‘indifference’ GOOD MORNING

By THE STAR STAFF

Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

deration by the assembly.

Resident Commissioner Pablo José Hernández Rivera, the president of the Popular Democratic Party (PDP), on Sunday unveiled the party’s new regulations, which would penalize with firm “indifference” members who create controversy within the party for personal gain.

“The new regulations overhaul the party’s rules of discipline by introducing ‘indifference’ as the primary sanction,” Hernández Rivera said at a press conference. “Certain officials deliberately violate party rules to stir controversy and seek prominence. The most powerful response to these individuals is to treat them with indifference.”

As part of the PDP’s refoundation process, the regulations “redefine our internal organization,” the party leader said. The unveiling of the new rules included key party leaders: Secretary General Manuel Calderón Cerame, Deputy Secretary Priscila Silva Irizarry, Electoral Commissioner Ernesto González Rodríguez, and Aguada Mayor Christian Cortés Feliciano.

“The PDP is evolving, and these regulations are essential for us to win elections and drive the change that our country desperately needs,” Hernández Rivera emphasized while presenting the draft rules and highlighting the major changes.

The new regulations are designed to significantly enhance grassroots participation by increasing the General Assembly’s size to nearly 4,000 delegates -- almost double the current count. In addition, they will consolidate the Program and Regulations Assembly, various internal committees, and the General Council into a new Governing Council of some 500 members, granting the revamped council the authority to approve both the government plan and party regulations.

Hernández Rivera further asserted that the new governing board will be more democratic and engaged than ever before. “We are reducing the board from about 50 members to around 20,” he said. “We have streamlined the sectoral organizations under a sector vice presidency and will allow their representatives to participate in relevant meetings. Most importantly, Popular Party members will finally have the power to vote for the majority of their representatives -- a significant shift from the past.”

The PDP leaders insisted that the process for approving the regulations will be transparent and participatory. Party members will have the opportunity to view the draft regulations and submit their comments and amendments at www.ppdpr.net/reglamento. An Amendments Committee, comprising Silva Irizarry, Alternate Electoral Commissioner Ramón Hernández Espino, Cortés, Vice President Migdalia González and former secretary general Gerardo “Toñito” Cruz, will compile a report on the amendments for consi-

Calderón Cerame, meanwhile, announced the implementation of PAVA-AI, a cutting-edge consultation mechanism utilizing artificial intelligence. The tool is intended to empower PDP members and the public alike to inquire about changes to the new regulations.

“As part of our commitment to modernization in the PDP Refoundation, we are integrating artificial intelligence to enhance our efficiency in serving the community,” the secretary general said.

The PDP plans to present at least three critical amendments for a vote: establishing an age limit for the Popular Youth, defining the inclusion of retirees in the Public Servants Association, and clarifying the election process for the municipal legislators’ representative on the governing board.

The party plans to convene its first virtual Assembly via Zoom on Wednesday from 7 to 8 p.m. During the meeting, the PDP will present the regulations, address comments and answer questions. The final draft will be published and put to a vote at the Regulations Assembly on Sept. 28 in Coamo, open to the public; however, only delegates will cast votes.

Moreover, a report featuring data from a private survey will be unveiled at the assembly.

“This regulation is a testament to our ability to transform our party, marking a decisive first step toward changing our country,” Hernández Rivera said. “It equips the PDP with a modern, democratic, and representative structure. Refoundation is not just talk; it’s about taking action. Today marks the beginning of a new phase where we align with the times and with the people we are committed to serving.”

“Certain officials deliberately violate party rules to stir controversy and seek prominence,” said Resident Commissioner Pablo José Hernández Rivera, center, the president of the Popular Democratic Party. “The most powerful response to these individuals is to treat them with indifference.”

Union backs bill seeking to remove NMEAD from DSP because it ‘has been disastrous’

By THE STAR STAFF

Liz Colón Alicea, president of the Authentic Union of Emergency Managers (SAME by its acronym in Spanish), announced on Sunday that Popular Democratic Party Rep. Ramón Torres Cruz filed a petition to remove the Emergency Management and Disaster Administration Bureau (NMEAD) from the Department of Public Safety.

“The approval of this bill is necessary because this office is immersed in an operational and administrative crisis,” Colón Alicea said in a written statement. “The administrative processes at the Emergency Management and Disaster Administration Bureau (NMEAD) are not being addressed with the required urgency, effectiveness, and diligence. In general terms, we can mention two relevant areas within the Department of Public Safety and its administration: Human Resources and Finance, two entities that have been affected within the Bureau.”

“In the Human Resources and Labor Relations area of the DSP, there is no equality or uniformity in the processes

for all Bureau responders,” she added. “Despite the fact that NMEAD employees are first responders, they are not given priority in incentives, salary increases, changes in position status, and overtime pay for emergencies.”

“It is outrageous that work and legislation are being done to benefit only one component of the Department of Public Safety, while the other components, which also make up the first line of response, are excluded,” the SAME leader continued. “Currently, the number of emergency managers is far below the enrollment of other components of the Department of Public Safety.

“The lack of knowledge regarding administrative processes in the administration of NMEAD in recent years is evident, but we cannot fail to mention how disastrous the creation of the Department of Public Safety has been.”

In the measure, Torres Cruz proposes repealing provisions of Law 20-2017, known as the “De-

partment of Public Safety Law,” and restoring NMEAD to the autonomy it enjoyed under Law 211 of 1999.

5-year-old girl left inside a vehicle dies in Toa Baja

By THE STAR STAFF

Authorities are investigating an incident in which a 5-year-old girl was locked inside a vehicle around 4 p.m. on Saturday, on Francia Street in the Sabana Seca neighborhood of Toa Baja. According to the police investigation, the girl’s father allegedly arrived at the residence

with the child in his vehicle, entered the house, and fell asleep. Upon awakening, he returned to the car and found the girl unresponsive. He took her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Officer Iván Santiago, assigned to the Bayamón Homicide Division, and Prosecutor José Díaz took charge of the investigation.

Bill would name Ventana al Mar Park in Condado after former first lady

By THE STAR STAFF

Rep. José Aponte Hernández, along with Reps. Víctor Parés and Eddie Charbonier, has filed a measure to name Ventana al Mar Park on Dr. Bailey Ashford Avenue in Condado after former first lady of Puerto Rico Kate Donnelly.

“As first lady, Doña Kate distinguished herself with her social work and her advocacy for causes she deeply believed in. She championed people with disabilities, seniors, and education,” the New Progressive Party lawmakers wrote in the preamble of House Joint Resolution 197. “She was the first to open La Fortaleza to the public, creating tours for visitors. She also published a cookbook featuring her favorite recipes, ‘Cooking from La Fortaleza,’ the proceeds of which were donated entirely to charity.”

Kathleen Rose Donnelly, affectionately known as “Doña Kate,” was born on Dec. 11, 1936, in Hempstead, New York. In the 1960s, she moved to Puerto Rico determined to settle on

the island. In 1966, she married Carlos Romero Barceló, who three years later became mayor of San Juan and, in 1977, governor of Puerto Rico, making Donnelly first lady of the capital and, subsequently, of the island. Their children, Juan Carlos and Melinda, were born from this union.

In 1999, Donnelly was appointed to the board of directors of the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust and was reelected for a second three-year term in 2005. She also served on the board of directors of the Art League and was an active member and leader of the La Fortaleza Preservation and Conservation Committee. During her years in Washington, as the spouse of the resident commissioner, she was actively involved in promoting women’s participation in the workforce and advocating for gender equality.

“For all the above reasons, this Legislative Assembly deems it worthy to name Ventana al Mar Park, located on Ashford Avenue in Condado, San Juan, after the former first lady of Puerto Rico, ‘Doña Kate Donnelly’ (RIP),” the legislators added. “This is done

in order to honor and recognize the career of an exceptional woman who, with her nobility, kindness, and humility, earned the affection and admiration of many thanks to her firm commitment to social causes.”

Donnelly passed away on Sept. 18, 2023, at the age of 86.

A bill filed by Rep. Ramón Torres Cruz proposes repealing provisions of Law 20-2017, known as the “Department of Public Safety Law,” and restoring NMEAD to the autonomy it enjoyed under Law 211 of 1999.

Ceiba mayor urges gov’t to jumpstart economic development of eastern region

By THE STAR STAFF

Ceiba Mayor Samuel Rivera Báez has called upon the island government to promote projects in the eastern region, an area impacted severely by the shutdown of the U.S. Naval Station at Roosevelt Roads.

Rivera Báez presented an official report to the Special Senate Committee of the Whole in which he outlined the fiscal and socioeconomic challenges facing Ceiba and the eastern region of the island.

Rivera Báez highlighted that since the U.S. Navy’s departure in 2004, Ceiba has suffered significant job losses, a decline in businesses, and a decrease in revenues, which has weakened its economic foundation.

The situation has worsened due to reductions in funding sources, such as the Equalization and Exemption funds, as well as obligations related to PayGo pension payments and ASES healthcare payments. In 2021, those resulted in a loss of more than $1.8 million, equivalent to 23% of the municipal budget.

Despite the challenges, Ceiba has not remained inactive,” Rivera Báez noted. The municipality has launched initiatives for urban revitalization, the rehabilitation of abandoned properties, land use planning, and tourism development, particularly at Los Machos Beach.

“These efforts are important steps toward repopulation, attracting private investment, and creating jobs,” the mayor said. “However, we need the support of the state to advance further.”

Specifically, Rivera Báez called for the redevelopment of the former Roosevelt Roads naval base to be recognized and certified as a critical project under Title V of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act, commonly known as PROMESA. Rivera Báez said the designation is essential to attract private investment in sectors such as tourism, housing, energy and transportation, thereby ensuring sustainable economic growth for Ceiba and the entire eastern region of Puerto Rico.

“The development of Roosevelt Roads goes beyond Ceiba’s borders and should be viewed as a regional and national

economic driving force,” he stressed. “This certification would provide certainty and stability to investors, which is crucial for transforming decades of economic loss into opportunities for the future.”

The Local Redevelopment Authority for Roosevelt Roads (LRA) is the instrumentality established by the Puerto Rico government to implement and execute the reuse plan of the former military base, known as the 2014 Master Plan. While the LRA has more than seven requests for proposals for different projects to be developed at the former base, including a space port, the status of the projects is unknown.

Roosevelt Roads consists of 8,720 acres of land that holds significant economic, ecological, historical and cultural value. However, the LRA is responsible for the development and operation of only 3,400 acres. Notably, the airport and surrounding area, which encompasses 1,600 acres, has been transferred to the Puerto Rico Ports Authority. Additionally, 3,400 acres recognized for their ecological importance have been handed over to the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources. Within the 3,400 acres managed by the LRA, some 800 acres are currently undergoing environmental remediation by the United States. Once the remediation process is completed, ownership of that land will be transferred from the U.S. Navy to the LRA.

The mayor reiterated that the sustainability of municipalities should be regarded not merely as an expense, but as a vital investment in Puerto Rico’s economic development.

CUD president says he is willing to become fiscal board member

By THE STAR STAFF

Ramón Barquín, president of the United Retailers Center (CUD by its acronym in Spanish), has acknowledged that the White House is considering him as a candidate for the Financial Oversight and Management Board.

“That is the decision of the president of the United States …” Barquín said in a segment of the televised program “Primera Pregunta.” “I have acknowledged that two times I have been

called.”

He said he did not know if Gov. Jenniffer González Colón promoted his appointment during a trip to Washington last week. The governor said Friday that she does not rule out submitting names of possible members to be part of the oversight board, after meetings in Washington with the White House, the Treasury Department and congressional leaders.

“I am always available to help Puerto Rico,” Barquín said.

New Fortress Energy begins restructuring talks

By THE STAR STAFF

New Fortress Energy Inc. (NFE), the parent company of Genera PR, which operates the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s legacy plants, has begun restructuring talks with its creditors, as reported by Bloomberg.

The company is seeking to reduce its debt and interest expenses after experiencing prolonged project delays that have

affected its ability to cover debt costs.

NFE has acknowledged that it may not be able to meet the requirements of at least one revolving loan for the quarter ending Sept. 30. This could potentially lead to lenders demanding accelerated repayments, as mentioned in the company’s regulatory filings.

The company’s debt, which amounts to some $9 billion, has seen heavy trading ahead of an interest payment due today

President Donald Trump fired six of the seven members of the oversight board in early August, marking the first time in the 10-year history of the board that a president has fired board members.

The legal cause for the firings is unclear. Various reports, including the STAR, have noted that the move appears likely to benefit Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority bondholders who have been demanding higher levels of debt repayment than the board’s latest offer.

The oversight board has said the bankrupt utility can repay $2.6 billion of the more than $9 billion in bonded debt.

for a $237 million bond with an 8.75% first-lien. The bond is due in 2029 and has experienced a significant drop in value, as noted by pricing firm Trace.

In response to the company’s financial challenges, various creditor groups have sought advice from financial and legal firms. NFE debtholders have engaged Evercore Inc. and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, while another group of creditors led by Capital Research Group Inc. is receiving guidance from Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison, as reported by Bloomberg.

As NFE navigates its financial difficulties, the company’s interest expenses have more than doubled over the past year, increasing from $158 million to $420 million for the six-month period ending June 30.

Wrestling over Charlie Kirk’s legacy and the divide in America

By ELISABETH BUMILLER

On the night in April 1968 that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, then a candidate for president, told a shocked and largely Black crowd in Indianapolis that “it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in.”

“Those of you who are Black,” he said, could be filled with “a desire for revenge.” Or, he said, the nation could try to replace violence “with an effort to understand.” It was considered one of the finest speeches of his life. But in the wake of King’s death, riots, looting and arson erupted in more than 100 U.S. cities, and Kennedy was assassinated that June in California.

Fifty-seven years later, the nation is at another polarized moment after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative activist gunned down on a college campus in Utah. Beyond an ability to inspire passion in others, King and Kirk had almost nothing in common. But their killings occurred in a country awash in violent political rhetoric and partisan anger.

Dannagal Goldthwaite Young, a professor of communications at the University of Delaware who researches media psychology and public opinion, said she had noticed a restraint in mainstream media reporting about Kirk’s death.

“I think there is a recognition that this moment is so important, and this country is such a tinderbox, that people who are in media and journalism, especially those on the left, are aware that they have a responsibility to take the temperature down. And I think that’s a very good thing in terms of democratic health.”

But she said she thought some things had gotten lost — notably, that people who praised Kirk for civility were confusing the term with politeness. “Charlie Kirk was polite, which is about your mode of discourse,” she said. In her opinion, he was not civil because, she said, he excluded certain groups from the public sphere.

(Loren

Americans are now grappling with the brutal killing of a young leader who is viewed through radically different lenses. On the right, Kirk has been lionized as an inspiration to a new generation of Republicans. On the left, he has been pilloried as a divider who attacked civil rights, transgender rights, feminism and Islam.

As people wrestle over Kirk’s legacy, historians and scholars say the lessons of this particular time will depend on Americans themselves. It is another test, they say, of the American experiment.

“Does a reprehensible crime against a political figure lead to more reprehensible acts, or does it remind us that we have to be able to live with people whose opinions we despise without resorting to violence?” asked presidential biographer Jon Meacham. “If this is open season on everybody who expresses an opinion, then the American covenant is broken.”

In the immediate aftermath of Kirk’s killing, anger has pulsed loudly. President Donald Trump blamed the left for what he said was savage rhetoric that had led to Kirk’s death and vowed to go after “those who contributed to this atrocity.” Democrats and Republicans in Congress lashed out at one another and are ever more fearful for their safety. People who castigated Kirk and his views have been targeted and exposed by right-wing influencers. Mentions of the term “civil war” skyrocketed on social media platforms.

Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah, a Republican, has stood out for trying to turn down the heat. “This is certainly about the tragic death, assassination, political assassination, of Charlie Kirk,” he said at a news conference Friday. “But it is also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It is an attack on all of us.” Kirk, he said, championed free speech, and “in having his life taken in that very act makes it more difficult for people to

feel like they can share their ideas, that they can speak freely.”

Kirk did speak freely. He called King “awful” and “not a good person.” He described the Civil Rights Act as a “huge mistake” and George Floyd as a “scumbag.” He said that Islam “is not compatible with Western civilization” and accused “Jewish donors” of fueling radicalism by financing “not just colleges — it’s the nonprofits; it’s the movies; it’s Hollywood; it’s all of it.” Democratic women, he said, “want to die alone without children.”

But among thousands of young conservatives on American college campuses, he was a rock star, a gifted speaker who relished debating with more liberal students. At the 2024 Republican convention, he reached out directly to his generation. “Democrats have given hundreds of billions of dollars to illegals and foreign nations, while Gen Z has to pinch pennies just so that they can never own a home, never marry and work until they die, childless,” he said.

To Brad Parscale, Trump’s first campaign manager in 2020, Kirk “loved America and was truly remarkable.” Parscale recalled that Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, the nation’s preeminent right-wing youth activist group, had come to him in 2018 to offer his help for the campaign. “But I told him, ‘Go do your own thing, and you’ll help the president 100 times more. The campaign will hold you back. You’re bigger than this.’ And he was,” Parscale said.

To Dan Carter, author of “The Politics of Rage: George Wallace, the Origins of the New Conservatism and the Transformation of American Politics,” Kirk was a dark force. His assassination, he said, “is a terrible thing for America, but I don’t think we gain anything by embracing him as some kind of open-minded individual who strengthened democracy.”

Despite the vitriol of the moment, Young said she was an optimist, thanks in part to what she has learned from public opinion research. “I know what people really want. Americans are sickened by these moments. By and large, Americans reject political violence.”

On Friday, after announcing the arrest of the man suspected of killing Kirk, Cox made an appeal to young people. Some of them loved the young activist, he said, and some of them hated him.

For his part, Kirk would say, “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much,” the governor recalled.

“To my young friends out there, you are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage,” Cox said. “It feels like rage is the only option, but through those words, we have a reminder that we can choose a different path.”

“Your generation,” he added, “has an opportunity to build a culture that is very different than what we are suffering through right now.”

Kirk shooting suspect held ‘leftist ideology,’ Utah governor says

By JACK HEALY and ORLANDO MAYORQUÍN

Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah on Sunday provided new information about the background and political leanings of the 22-year-old accused of killing Charlie Kirk, saying that the suspect had a “leftist ideology” and had also been in a romantic relationship with a partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female.

Cox, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” described the suspect, Tyler Robinson, as a “very normal young man” who appeared to have been “radicalized” some time after he dropped out of college and moved back to his hometown in southern Utah, where he had spent the past few years.

Cox did not go into specifics about Robinson’s ideological views or offer a clear picture of them. Cox said Robinson had spent much of his time immersed in online gaming, message boards and parts of what the governor called the “deep, dark internet.”

Cox, a Republican, did not detail a motive for the shooting of Kirk, a prominent conservative activist. The suspect’s motive has become the subject of fevered debate as President Donald Trump and some Republicans have blamed Democrats and the “radical left.”

“The why behind this, again, we’re all drawing lots of conclusions on how someone like this could be radicalized,” Cox said. “And I think that those are important questions for us to ask and important questions for us to answer.”

The governor said that Robinson had not been cooperating with the investiga-

tion and that investigators were gathering information from the suspect’s friends and family.

Cox said the suspect’s romantic partner did not have any advance knowledge about the shooting and was “shocked” by what happened. Authorities have indicated that the partner, whom they have identified as Robinson’s roommate, has cooperated fully with the investigation and provided private messages that incriminated Robinson.

The New York Times is not identifying the suspect’s partner in this article because authorities have said the partner was not involved in the crime and is cooperating.

pect’s romantic relationship is likely to raise further questions about the suspect’s motive and ideology, which are a focus of the official investigation but also the subject of intense speculation on social media and even among public officials.

Cox said more information would be available Tuesday, when Robinson is expected to be formally charged by local prosecutors. It was not yet clear if he had a lawyer. In another interview Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Cox said that investigators were also examining a potential note left by the suspect, and that charging documents would provide additional details.

Kirk was outspoken on a variety of hotly contested topics — race, gun control, abortion — in ways that often stoked controversy. A conservative Christian, he was also an outspoken critic of LGBTQ+ rights.

Ideological opponents often challenged Kirk on his anti-transgender views when he visited college campuses to engage students and others in open-air debates through his conservative youth organization, Turning Point USA. Kirk was answering a question about transgender people and

mass shootings at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when he was fatally shot.

On Sunday, Cox said that Robinson’s political ideology was “very different” from that of his conservative family.

“There clearly was a leftist ideology with this — with this assassin,” he said, citing the suspect’s family and romantic partner as sources of that information.

The suspect’s parents are registered Republicans, and Robinson was raised around St. George, Utah, a fast-growing conservative city whose landscape is defined by red-rock formations and slender white spires of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Photos from his childhood show his family taking him and his brothers on trips to shoot guns and check out weapons displays.

Voter records show that Robinson was unaffiliated with any political party.

The only hints about his ideology or beliefs released publicly in the investigation are engravings on bullet casings found with the rifle used to kill Kirk that contained a hash of online memes and video game references. One engraving said, “hey fascist! CATCH!”

Robinson and his partner had been living in a sunbaked complex of stucco apartments on the south side of St. George that is home to mostly college students, 20-somethings and young families.

Neighbors said the two kept a low profile and were rarely seen outdoors. A neighbor who lived next to the pair said he could sometimes hear them through the wall, playing what sounded like video games.

Social media reduced two horrific killings to cheap snuff films NEW

By ZEYNEP TUFEKCI

First it was the nightmarish stabbing of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, as she sat on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, minding her own business. Then it was the horrifying shooting of Charlie Kirk, the 31-yearold conservative activist, as he addressed a group of students at Utah Valley University. Both struck terror in countless Americans fearful for their own safety and for the safety of our public spaces and our democracy.

The tragedies had something else in common, though: They both generated extremely graphic videos of the victims’ last moments, detailed enough to show the second that metal struck flesh and wrought its awful damage. Since then, shared by many and further amplified by digital algorithms that favor intense emotions, these videos have been endlessly replayed across social media. Countless users have commented on them, zoomed in on them, slowed them to a crawl, theorized about them or marked them up with arrows and diagrams and published the results. Ad nauseam.

In the nascent stages of social media, I was an optimist about unfiltered imagery. I thought, as did others, that unfiltered images from news events might make people more empathetic toward victims of natural disasters, repression or systemic violence. I also hoped raw reality from conflict zones would challenge the sanitized, cinematic version of war that too many people held or might force them to care about conflicts they

were otherwise happy to ignore.

That’s not what happened. Today there are more cameras than ever, and we’re drowning in videos documenting the last breaths of victim after victim. But instead of making us all more sensitive to the horrors that our fellow humans experience, instead of functioning as tools of understanding, graphic images like the videos of Zarutska and Kirk turn into something closer to viral snuff films when they are endlessly replayed. Reducing tragedy to voyeuristic content, they dehumanize not just the victim but all of us.

And as social media is woven ever deeper into every corner of our lives — school, work, civic engagement, religious participation — dehumanizing images like these become harder for even the squeamish to avoid. I asked my students about their experiences. One told me her father had casually encouraged her to watch the video of Kirk. At a restaurant where I was having dinner Thursday, someone at the next table pulled out a phone and played the video for his companion.

And shortly after Kirk’s killing, social media got flooded by the next viral snuff film, a video of a gruesome beheading in Dallas. It sometimes seems there’s another shocking video every week.

Supplied with all this rich material, frenzied amateur sleuths role-play as if they were forensic scientists analyzing the Zapruder film. In the process, they often end up blaming the wrong people or propagating ever more absurd and harmful conspiracy theories. A number of people have been widely and wrongly identified as Kirk’s killer, endangering their lives and also probably impeding the investigation. And I’ve already seen widespread claims that Kirk isn’t dead at all and that the blood gushing from his neck was fake and triggered by a hidden mechanism. There, you can see it — or at least these self-appointed detectives announce that they can — if you zoom in on the video 1000X. So, rather than bringing the reality of gun violence home, these videos are helping at least some fraction of viewers deny a death that occurred in front of hundreds of witnesses.

The final moments of Zarutska, for example, were quickly deployed — because the suspect is Black and Zarutska was not — to advance a very specific argument about race or Democratic-run cities or liberal media bias. If you dug deep, you might have found reporting about the suspect’s history of violence and mental health struggles and his family’s desperate, fruitless efforts to get him adequate care or even to get him committed. It’s a problem all too many families know. But that part of the story was absent from the endless replays of Zarutska’s death, often with close-ups of her face right before she collapses. Instead of a sense of outrage leading to a search for a better solution for repeat violent offenders, her death generated calls for collective retribution and vigilante justice.

Obviously, interest in violent imagery is not something that started with or is limited to social media or digital technologies. The evening news programs that families used to gather around followed the maxim “If it bleeds, it leads” — violence first — which was good for ratings but bad for society. Studies have found that people who watch a lot of local news, in which crime is often sensationalized, tend to get a distorted view of how dangerous their neighborhood is. Viewers, especially older viewers, are more likely as a result to become anxious, even reclusive.

A gruesome wave of beheading videos by the Islamic State group were many users’ first encounter with material of this kind. Pressured by the U.S. government, major platforms effectively kept the images from circulating. Nowadays you have to remember to turn off autoplay to avoid accidentally watching a beheading, as many people discovered after the grisly murder at a motel in Dallas.

Because cameras have become ubiquitous, the supply of violent images has multiplied many times over. Cultural and institutional barriers to disseminating them have decreased. Incentives for doing so also have multiplied. And U.S. government efforts to regulate any of it have all but disappeared.

On Friday morning, we learned the identity of the person suspected of killing Kirk: a young white man in his early 20s, a former engineering student with strong high school grades. All the theories that the online sleuths had come up with, and all the supposed identifications of the shooter, appear to have been false. He was found not because of some crowdsourced forensic breakthrough, but because a family member reached out to a family friend who in turn reached out to law enforcement.

As for all the finger-pointing, all the hateful statements confidently accusing one group of people or another, I doubt corrections will be offered, and if they are, I doubt they will undo much of the damage.

Meanwhile millions, perhaps billions of people have watched and rewatched Kirk’s and Zarutska’s last moments as if they were video game clips or movie scenes instead of the dying moments of a man leaving behind young children or a young woman slain in the prime of her life. Virality achieved, but humanity — theirs and ours — lost.

DACO emite multas a 20 estacionamientos en San Juan

POR CYBERNEWS

SAN JUAN – La secretaria del Departamento de Asuntos del Consumidor (DACO), Valerie Rodríguez Erazo, informó que, en la noche del viernes, hubo un operativo en varios estacionamientos en las inmediaciones del Coliseo de Puerto Rico, la Placita de Santurce y la calle Cerra.

Se impactaron 21 establecimientos y se emitieron 20 multas, muchas de ellas por operar sin licencia vigente o sin cumplir con las condiciones mínimas establecidas por ley.

“Este operativo dejó al descubierto que el problema no es únicamente el cobro ilegal o excesivo de tarifas. Lo verdaderamente alarmante fue constatar que muchos de estos espacios no cumplen con las condiciones mínimas para operar de forma segura, exponiendo a los consumidores a riesgos inaceptables. Y es precisamente por eso que el DACO exige, al momento

de otorgar una licencia de estacionamiento, una serie de requisitos esenciales: evidencia de permisos vigentes, seguro de responsabilidad pública, personal autorizado e identificado, condiciones adecuadas de iluminación, cumplimiento con la Ley federal de accesibilidad para personas con impedimentos, entre otros. Contrario a lo que algunos alegan, los operadores sí responden por daños si se prueba negligencia, y están obligados a cumplir con estándares mínimos como cualquier otro comercio. La intervención del DACO busca precisamente eso: proteger no solo el bolsillo, sino el bienestar de cada ciudadano”, dijo Rodríguez Erazo en declaraciones escritas.

“No podemos seguir haciéndonos de la vista larga, mientras se multiplican operaciones que ignoran por completo la ley y ponen en riesgo el bienestar y la seguridad de la ciudadanía, nuestro objetivo es lograr lo que vimos en los estacionamientos del Coliseo de Puerto Rico: cumplimiento voluntario porque sa-

ben que hay consecuencias. Eso es lo que buscamos en todo Puerto Rico: que se entienda que vivimos en una isla de ley y orden, y que hay que cumplir por el bienestar de todos. Porque al final, todos somos consumidores”, añadió.

Mencionó que, en el área del Coliseo de Puerto Rico, se constató que todos los estacionamientos visitados estaban en cumplimiento con la ley, cobrando exclusivamente la tarifa aprobada conforme a sus licencias. Solo dos estacionamientos en la avenida Chardón fueron multados

EL CAPITOLIO – La vicepresidenta de la Cámara de Representantes, Yashira Lebrón, reiteró el compromiso del presidente de dicho cuerpo legislativo, Carlos ‘Johnny’ Méndez, con los esfuerzos que realiza la fundación Susan G. Komen Puerto Rico para concientizar y luchar por la erradicación del cáncer de seno en la isla, haciendo entrega de un donativo de $5,000.00.

“Para nosotros la erradicación del cáncer, en todas sus manifestaciones, es una prioridad. El cáncer del seno es una terrible enfermedad que afecta anualmente a miles de mujeres en Puerto Rico. Por eso, el Presidente de la Cámara de Representantes tiene un firme compromiso en continuar apoyando a entidades como la fundación

Susan G. Komen Puerto Rico en la búsqueda de una cura a esta condición”, comentó la también Representante por el Distrito #8 de Bayamón.

“Este pasado viernes hicimos entrega de un donativo a funcionarios de la organización sin fines de lucro Susan G. Komen Puerto Rico, demostrando así el apoyo y compromiso de los miembros de la Cámara (de Representantes) con esta entidad que tan bien le ha servido a Puerto Rico”, agregó Lebrón.

La entrega del cheque simbólico se realizado en la Oficina del Presidente Cameral.

El cáncer de mama es el cáncer más diagnosticado y la principal causa de muerte por cáncer entre las mujeres en Puerto Rico. De acuerdo a cifras del Departamento de Salud, cada año se diagnostican unas 2,500 mujeres con

este tipo de cáncer.

En la zona de la Placita de Santurce, se encontró que todos los estacionamientos estaban en incumplimiento con excepción de uno. Muchos cobraban en efectivo sin ofrecer recibo alguno, mientras que otros alegaban operar como valet parking sin tener la debida licencia, sin tarifa fija aprobada y sin contar con el personal necesario para ofrecer el servicio. los derechos del consumidor.

How Guillermo del Toro conjured a ‘Frankenstein’ monster unlike any before

By MAYA SALAM

Guillermo del Toro has been shaping his vision for Victor Frankenstein’s monster since he was 11 years old, when Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 Gothic novel became his Bible, as he put it in a conversation in August.

“Why is it made of many parts?” he recalled wondering as a boy. “I started thinking about the logic of that.”

Now, the filmmaker, with three Oscars to his name, has finally manifested his dream. His “Frankenstein” (out Oct. 17 in theaters and Nov. 7 on Netflix), reinterprets both the myth and the monster, which unlike many before it, feels newly born rather than repaired. Yes, that means no stitches.

“We didn’t want it to feel like an accident victim,” he said, referring to his collaboration with Mike Hill, also a “Frankenstein” acolyte and the film’s creature designer. “We wanted it to have the purity or translucency of almost like a newborn soul,” del Toro said, “to follow it from being a newborn soul into being — an ‘I think therefore I am’ sort of a human.

tein” reinterprets both the myth and the monster, which unlike many before it, feels newly born rather than repaired. (Ken Woroner/Netflix)

Not to say that previous interpretations, what del Toro called “North Stars in our lifetime,” didn’t figure into the vision. There’s the silhouette of the military wardrobe that Bernie Wrightson used to illustrate the monster for Mary Shelley’s book in a famous edition printed in the 1980s; the dead stare of Christopher Lee in “The Curse of Frankenstein” from 1957; some of the religious aura surrounding Boris Karloff’s monster from the 1930s, perhaps the image — a lumbering monster with scars and neck bolts — that surfaces in most minds.

Still, del Toro’s creature is promised to be a first in the “Frankenstein” canon. Here’s an early peek at how it came together.

This Victor Frankenstein (played by Oscar Isaac) is not just an anatomist and a scientist, but also an artist. And from the beginning, he is seen working with anatomical waxes, a material with inherent patterns that has been used for centuries to sculpt models of human or animal bodies, organs and muscles.

In Shelley’s novel, Victor says that he has discovered a secret that allows him to build the monster through his own technique. But del Toro noted that Shelley had deftly bypassed exactly how the creature comes to life.

“That may sound like a cheat,” del Toro said, but it was an opportunity for imagination.

Previous movies and onscreen interpretations, he pointed out, often just show Victor robbing graves to acquire body parts, then suddenly the creature is complete.

“I wanted to detail every anatomical step I could in how he put the creature together,” del Toro said. “There is a personality to the way he put together this creature.”

It’s a sequence that veers from the expected visuals of thunderstorms, diagonal shadows and silhouettes. Instead, this Victor is akin to a performer and his monster’s construction is

shot as a concert might be. “It’s like you’re watching Leonard Bernstein conduct an orchestra,” del Toro said. “This is not the most horrifying moment in the movie, it’s the most joyous.”

In Milan’s Duomo is Marco d’Agrate’s unsettling 16thcentury marble statue of St. Bartholomew, one of Jesus’ 12 apostles who is said to have been flayed alive and then beheaded.

This work was a major influence for del Toro, who recalled Shelley describing the veins, tendons and muscles as visible under the creature’s stretched skin.

Sending Mike Hill photos of alabaster statues became part of their process and also helped guide what would become the monster’s ethereal color palette: ivories, very pale blues and violets with some nicotine colors.

Above all, he said, he wanted “to make it feel like a handcrafted beautiful work of art.”

Del Toro and Hill also looked at medical documentation and tools, both historical and current, including a dental phantom, a mannequin of the human head and jaw used by dental students and professionals to practice procedures. It comes into play during a scene in Shelley’s novel that is rarely portrayed onscreen: The moment when Victor wakes up believing that the creature has died and that the experiment has failed, only to see it alive and watching him from the foot of his bed.

“It’s very shocking and beautiful. And I said OK, how do we see the creature without seeing the creature?” del Toro said. So he pictured a metal mask on top of the monster’s bandages as well as a metal rib cage on top of its chest as part of the devices used for the resurrection.

The placement of the bandages were of particular interest to del Toro, who said that they needed to

have rhythm without symmetry as well as theatricality and a flourish.

The special effects team created a clay miniature of the monster’s body and head, on which they were able to play with potential lines. They considered where scars would make sense and how joints might be extracted.

Even a huge curveball just nine weeks before production started didn’t faze del Toro. Jacob Elordi stepped into the role of the monster when Andrew Garfield, who is many inches shorter, dropped out because of scheduling conflicts.

“Mike said, ‘We have nine weeks,’ and I said, ‘Wrong. We’ve had all our life.’ I said, ‘We’ve been preparing for this movie for all our life.’”

He reminded Hill that Jack Pierce, the artist who created the Karloff makeup, would build that look from scratch every day without molds. “I said, ‘It ain’t gonna be harder than that. So we are prepared.’”

The film’s plot includes a photographic record of how the creature is put together, a record that’s kept on glass plates.

“It’s a really interesting journey the creature goes through in this film, which chronicles as much the creature as it was the creator and the creation,” del Toro said. “That has, I believe, never been done this extensively.”

Transit tech firm Via valued at $3.5 billion as shares fall in NYSE debut

Transit technology maker Via Transportation was valued at $3.5 billion on Friday after its shares fell 4.4% in their NYSE debut.

The stock opened at $44, below the $46 offer price.

Via and selling shareholders raised $493 million by selling 10.7 million shares, priced above the marketed range of $40 to $44.

The U.S. IPO market has revived as easing trade tensions and rising expectations of interest-rate cuts lift investor appetite for new issues, creating the busiest week for U.S. IPOs since 2021.

Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms, Via works with existing public transit networks rather than operating independently.

The New York-based company provides software and operational services to cities, transit agencies, schools, and other institutions, combining on-demand ride sharing with intelligent routing to optimize public transit.

The business is expanding, but it remains unprofitable. For the three months ended June 30, Via reported revenue of $107.1 million and a net loss of $21.2 million.

“The model that Via offers brings its own challenges: lower margins, slower scaling across jurisdictions, and dependence on local relationships and regulatory compliance,” said Kat Liu, vice president at IPO research firm IPOX, noting that exposure to public-sector budgets and regulatory complexity continues to pose risks.

Changing climatic conditions, growing congestion and rapid urbanization has made it increasingly important to enhance public transit systems across the globe.

Even so, performance among “tech” IPOs has varied.

“While tech IPOs have been the most prominent this year, the standout performers have largely been in or related to AI and FinTech. Other tech segments have seen mixed, though generally positive, results,” said Edward Best, partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

Via is one of the biggest transportation-related tech IPOs in the U.S., according to data from Dealogic.

U.S. investors dumped equity funds in the week to September 10, booking profits at record highs and cutting exposure on caution over lofty valuations and geopolitical ten-

sions in the Middle east and Ukraine.

According to data from LSEG Lipper, investors divested a net $10.44 billion worth of U.S. equity funds - the most since August 6 - in the most recent week.

The S&P 500 hit a record 6,592.89 on Thursday, lifted by expectations the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates three times this year, pushing its one-year forward price-to-earnings ratio to 24.33, well above the 10-year average of 19.38.

Large-cap equity funds lost a net $18.22 billion, the most in a week since June 18.

Investors also ditched mid-cap funds worth a net $912 million and smallcap funds worth $442 million.

Funicular crash has jarred Lisbon’s sense of itself

By KIM BARKER and OLEKSANDRA MYKOLYSHYN

For more than a decade, Lisbon has been the place to be.

After economic near-death experiences in the early 2010s, Portugal used tax breaks, golden visas and inclusive social and immigration policies to attract foreign investors, digital nomads and surf-happy expatriates who formed a cosmopolitan class living it up on the low cost of living.

Luxury towers and hotels sprouted up over long-abandoned areas and graffitied streets often inhabited by poor immigrants who supplied cheap labor. The city’s most handsome neighborhoods, with their tiled facades and parks filled with people drinking cocktails at cafes over the sounds of bossa nova and English, became a modernday Casablanca for creative types. About 30% of Lisbon’s population is not Portuguese.

That dreamy image of Lisbon as an innovative city on a hill suffered a jarring disruption this month. An iconic funicular — beloved by tourists for its old Lisbon charm — sped out of control on a steep incline and crashed into a wall. The accident killed 16 people, mostly foreigners.

Now, in the political hothouse of an upcoming mayoral election, advocates of increasingly alienated and frustrated locals have seized on the accident to ask what Lisbon has become and whom it is for. They argue that in its courting of wealthy transplants, Lisbon has created gross inequality and priced locals out of their neighborhoods. An administration focused on keeping alive the aura of innovation and growth, they say, has failed to maintain Lisbon’s basic infrastructure and character.

“We are a victim of our own success,” said Rui Bochmann Franco, a left-leaning city councilor who lost a friend in the accident.

As Franco rode an elevator in the City Council building the other day, he pointed to an outdated inspection notice that he said he had told the mayor about. “Remind you of something?” he asked, meaning the funicular. The crash, he said, “shows that they invest a lot in showing off, but clearly not enough in basic safety standards.”

A rainbow appears over the city center of Lisbon, Portugal, Sept. 10, 2025. Lisbon has transformed itself in recent years into a destination for international investors but a funicular crash that killed 16 people has prompted soul-searching about the changes in the city. (Gonçalo Fonseca/The New York Times)

Investigators are still trying to determine the exact cause of the crash. Lisbon’s center-right mayor, Carlos Moedas, has rejected calls to step down.

In an interview, Moedas said the crash had been politicized and called that “disgusting.” He said maintenance of the funicular, which was subcontracted to private companies, was not the cause of the accident, but he also said it was necessary to wait for the findings of the investigation to explain what happened. He also said he had increased elevator inspections.

On one thing, at least, he and his critics agree. The main challenge facing Lisbon is managing its growth, and avoiding its becoming a city of foreign haves and local have-nots.

“Lisbon became trendy and Portugal became trendy,” Moedas said. “I think that’s not bad.” But, he added, “we really have to protect the people of the city” and make sure that “people that are from here are not disadvantaged by people coming here.” He warned that pitting the city’s classes against one another was “very dangerous” and anathema to its cosmopolitan tradition. “Imagine I put a ban on people,” he

said. “What would that change? Would that change for better? It would not.”

A center-right emblem of the new Lisbon, Moedas graduated from Harvard Business School, worked at Goldman Sachs and started an investment management company. He then oversaw a Portuguese agency that put austerity reforms in place and became a European Union commissioner for innovation. Elected Lisbon’s mayor in 2021, he has an office lined with contemporary art. His wife is of Moroccan and Tunisian descent.

He argued that it was vital for Lisbon to retain its inclusive character in a competitive global marketplace for entrepreneurs and companies that would create opportunities for homegrown talent to stay put and earn better wages. He had sought, he said, to “compensate” those the new economy left behind by providing public services and subsidies,

including free public transportation for the young and elderly. His administration had also increased health services and put hundreds of millions of euros into housing. He said 12% of Lisbon’s population lived in subsidized municipal housing.

But some in Lisbon’s middle class, earning lower salaries than many foreigners, take a dimmer view.

On a street behind the steep hill where the funicular crashed, Rodrigo Jesus, 26, works as an interior designer for a company that serves Airbnb and other firms catering to tourists and foreign residents. The development in Lisbon has been good for his company, he said, “but it’s not good for me.”

He said he was priced out of the Lisbon market and had to buy a house in another town. And he said it annoyed him that every time he walked into a store, people spoke to him in English because he had red hair.

Still, many here say the city has improved enormously in the past decades. Where before there were open drug markets and abandoned lots, there are now gleaming hotels and pleasant plazas. More young professional Portuguese working for an influx of new companies have stayed instead of leaving the country.

But on a recent morning at the site of the crash, where memorial bouquets bore Canadian flags, RIP notes for Americans and a toy Mini Cooper, some locals wondered what the accident said about their city.

“I don’t blame the rich people who move to Lisbon,” said Mario Rodrigues, 74, who said he had intended to vote for the mayor but now wasn’t so sure.

All the foreign investment, he said, “should be used for the protection of people who live in Lisbon.”

After Bolsonaro’s conviction, Brazil already considers his amnesty

By JACK NICAS

On live television for the past two weeks, Brazil has watched five Supreme Court justices convict former President Jair Bolsonaro of attempting a coup and sentence him to 27 years in prison. He could report to prison next month.

At the same time, in private meetings across a plaza from the trial, some members of Brazil’s Congress have been discussing how to free him.

The debate is over whether to grant Bolsonaro and his fellow defendants amnesty — absolving them of their crimes of trying to overturn the 2022 election — and it has been churning in Brazil for weeks, casting a shadow over a young democracy with a long history of coups.

Members of Congress have been circulating legislation, television commentators have been speculating about the chances, and dueling protesters on each side have been chanting for and against it. Activists have even projected “No amnesty” with the Brazilian flag on Tower Bridge in London.

Amnesty has quickly become so central to the national conversation in Brazil that as Bolsonaro was being tried this past week, it was the elephant in the courtroom: Sure, the former president was about to be convicted — but for how long?

It is far from certain that Bolsonaro will be absolved, and the legislative and legal process has a long way to go before that could happen. But that amnesty had become such a prominent topic, even before a verdict, says much about Brazil, its politics and its history.

“Amnesty is a tradition in our country,” said Ciro Nogueira, Bolsonaro’s former chief of staff, who as a leader in the Senate is now pushing for amnesty. “It has been a way to bring peace and turn the page on the conflicts. Otherwise, you remain stuck with them forever.”

Brazil emerged from a monarchy in 1889, via a coup. Between then and 2022, the nation experienced another 14 military coups, half of them successful. In every failed attempt, the plotters were granted amnesty and were never prosecuted.

That means Thursday was the first time that Brazil has convicted leaders of an attempted coup with links to the military. In addition to Bolsonaro, the Supreme Court convicted seven other men, including Bolsonaro’s running mate, defense minis-

ter, national security adviser and navy commander. Nearly all face lengthy prison sentences.

“It is totally unprecedented,” said Carlos Fico, a Brazilian historian and author of “Brazilian Authoritarian Utopia,” a book on Brazil’s history of coups. “There has never been punishment for the plotters of a military coup.”

Instead, Brazilian leaders have repeatedly reached for amnesty after destabilizing moments, a bid to ease unrest and move on, Fico said. Yet that has come with consequences.

“The lack of punishment for coup attempts only brings a temporary pacification because it actually encourages a new coup attempt,” said Fernando Gabeira, a former Brazilian member of Congress and prominent political analyst. “It doesn’t work because people feel encouraged to try again.”

Gabeira has his own history with amnesty.

In 1964, Brazil’s military carried out its most consequential coup, launching a dictatorship that lasted two decades. Five years later, Gabeira helped kidnap the U.S. ambassador to Brazil to protest America’s support for the dictatorship. His leftist group secured the release of 15 political prisoners before releasing the ambassador.

But he never faced significant consequences for the kidnapping. That is because in 1979, Brazil passed a broad amnesty law for political crimes. It paved the way for the peaceful end to the dictatorship — but it also meant that few faced justice for their actions during the dictatorship, including the democratic activists who fought back with violence and the military officials who kidnapped, jailed, tortured and disappeared political opponents.

By contrast, neighbors including Argentina, Chile and Uruguay experienced similar dictatorships but have prosecuted many of the military leaders who carried them out.

Brazil’s approach reflects its political culture of conciliation. The current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was once imprisoned on a corruption conviction for 580 days, but the case was later thrown out, and he returned to power.

Now many people wonder if it all could happen again with Bolsonaro.

“If amnesty passes, then that old saying that many people repeat — that Brazil is the country of impunity — will truly become reality,” Martele Pereira da Silva, 62, a nutritionist, said this past week at a protest against amnesty in Rio de Janeiro.

The answer now lies with Brazil’s Congress. Much of the debate will focus on whether to grant amnesty to Bolsonaro and his co-conspirators, or only to people convicted of ransacking Brazil’s halls of power in January 2023 in a riot intended to provoke a military takeover.

The rioters’ sentences have been widely criticized as overly harsh, including a 14-year sentence given to one woman who used lipstick to vandalize an outdoor statue. The Supreme Court, one of the main targets of the riots, handed down the sentences.

Brazilians are divided. Just over half said they opposed

broad amnesty for the leaders of the most recent attempted coup, while 47% said they supported it, according to an opinion survey in August.

That has helped stoke the debate in Congress. There appears to be enough votes for amnesty in Brazil’s lower chamber of Congress, but there are many hurdles after that.

Support is less clear in the Senate, the upper chamber, with the Senate’s president saying he would not bring the issue to a vote. Lula would almost certainly veto any amnesty, though Congress could overturn that. And then the law would also have to survive a likely challenge in the Supreme Court, which has spent years prosecuting Bolsonaro.

Another route would have Congress pass a law to reduce sentencing requirements for Bolsonaro’s crimes, requiring a reduction in his sentence.

Hovering over the debate is next year’s presidential election. Bolsonaro is ineligible to run, but he remains the most popular politician on Brazil’s right.

Analysts speculate that congressional and party leaders could be offering Bolsonaro amnesty in exchange for his endorsement of a more moderate candidate in the election. Nogueira, Bolsonaro’s ally in the Senate, denied that.

The next president could also pardon Bolsonaro, though the Supreme Court has ruled that pardons cannot be used to protect a political ally.

Bolsonaro’s best bet to avoid prison is his expected request to serve his sentence under house arrest because of lingering medical problems from a stabbing he suffered on the campaign trail in 2018. He recently underwent major surgery, and he watched his trial from home because, his lawyers said, his health is so poor.

Where Bolsonaro serves his sentence will be decided largely by Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice who led the investigation into the former president and, as a result, became a target of the right.

When closing the trial Thursday, he made clear that amnesty had not worked in the past.

“What leads to peace is due process — a public and transparent trial like this one,” de Moraes said. “This is what leads to the healing of wounds, the strengthening of democracy and ensuring that neither a coup attempt nor the abolition of the democratic state ever occurs again.”

Documents raise questions about fraud claims against Fed governor

By TONY ROMM, BEN CASSELMAN and COLBY SMITH

President Donald Trump has sought to oust Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve on grounds that she committed mortgage fraud, by falsifying crucial records to obtain more favorable terms on a home loan. But new documents call that narrative into question.

A loan record reviewed by The New York Times suggests that Cook did not try to deceive lenders about one of the properties, a home in Atlanta, that she purchased before joining the nation’s central bank in 2022.

That document, as well as another submitted as part of Cook’s nomination process, complicates Trump’s attempts to remove Cook, days after the government asked a federal court to block her from participating in the Fed’s meeting this coming week, where the central bank is expected to lower interest rates.

On Saturday afternoon, lawyers for Cook referenced the newly unearthed documents in urging a panel of judges to allow her to continue serving. They also warned that Trump’s actions could cause financial havoc and undermine confidence in the central bank.

“This should be case closed on the Cook mortgage issue,” said Adam Levitin, a professor at Georgetown Law. “There is no way to maintain a criminal prosecution in light of the disclosure in Cook’s loan application.”

Cook bought the property, a condominium in Atlanta, in 2021. The president and his top aides have accused Cook of incorrectly claiming both the condo and another prop-

erty in Michigan, purchased weeks earlier, as her primary residence, seemingly in a bid to secure a lower interest rate on a mortgage.

Trump and his aides contend that this represents fraud, though Cook has not been charged with any wrongdoing or convicted of a crime. But a set of financial records reviewed by the Times — a preliminary loan

estimate from a credit union dated May 2021 — offers a possible competing view.

The documents instead classify that Atlanta residence as a “vacation home.” Similar language appears in a second set of records, furnished later that year to the government before Cook’s confirmation to the Fed. In those heavily redacted submissions, the Atlanta condo is described as a “2nd home.”

Kathleen C. Engel, an expert on mortgage fraud at Suffolk University’s law school, said that, in order to prove fraud, prosecutors would need to establish that Cook misled her lender about her intended use of the property.

“The fraud allegation is dramatically weakened by the evidence that this was on her application,” Engel said. “She was candid about how she was using the property.”

She added: “It actually rebuts any inference that she engaged in fraud.”

Cook has said little about her own finances even after Trump took the extraordinary step last month of trying to fire her. Trump’s actions have touched off a landmark legal battle, which could see him expand his power to dismiss members of the central bank, potentially eroding its independence from political interference.

The disclosures do not appear to be legal documents, and they do not prove that Cook was transparent about her intended use of the property throughout the loan application process. But they do suggest that she may have told her lender about her plans at least once.

Lawyers for Cook declined to comment on the disclosures, which were first reported by Reuters. But they referenced a news story about the records in their Saturday filing with

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, arguing that Cook had been “deprived of a forum in which to offer any evidence” in her defense.

The new revelations did not appear to satisfy Cook’s critics in the Trump administration. The man at the forefront of her ouster — Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who first broadcast allegations of fraud — signaled earlier Saturday that the newly released records did not absolve Cook of wrongdoing.

“Dr. Cook represents herself as an extremely accomplished financial operator,” Pulte said in a post on social media. “If Dr. Cook solicited estimates as a vacation home and then entered into a mortgage agreement as a primary residence, that is extremely concerning, and in my opinion, evidences further intent to defraud.”

Pulte previously referred the matter to the Justice Department, which has opened a criminal investigation into Cook. He said in a second post on social media this weekend: “The idea that she got estimates and then declared it as a primary on her mortgage agreement is even more concerning for Dr. Cook.”

But Engel said Pulte was misunderstanding or misrepresenting the mortgage application process. As long as Cook disclosed her plans to use the home as a secondary home to her lender, there is no fraud, she said. Engel said she would not necessarily expect publicly available loan documents to show an acknowledgment from her lender that the property would be used as a second home.

“Pulte would know this, or would have access to people who would know this at FHFA,” she said.

Where should Taylor and Travis go on their honeymoon? We’ve got ideas.

By DANIELLE PERGAMENT

When people as rich and famous as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announce their engagement and the zeitgeist fills up with speculation on their wedding and honeymoon, prepare to read words like “luxury” and “remote” a lot. Planning their honeymoon — and to be clear, they haven’t asked, but we’d be delighted to help! — means that no destination is too far and no price tag is too high.

When selecting hypothetical destinations for Mr. and Mrs. Swift-Kelce’s (or Mr. and Mrs. Kelce-Swift’s, if they go that route) honeymoon, we were inspired by her lyrics, his heritage, and of course, as much decadence as we could pack into a week or two. (This list incorporates suggestions from two high-end travel companies, trip-planning outfit Black Tomato and luxury travel adviser network Virtuoso.)

You might say the rest of the world is black and white, and they deserve a trip in screaming color.

Tanzania and Zanzibar

It was 1975. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton got married (for the second time) in Botswana and went to the Chobe Game Lodge in Chobe National Park for their honeymoon. Forty-two years later, Swift wrote “He can be my jailer/ Burton to this Taylor,” in “ … Ready for It?” so it stands to reason that a honeymoon in Africa might be in the cards. And if Swift has

any plans to be “Standing in a nice dress/ Staring at the sunset” as she sings in “Wildest Dreams,” there may be no better place than the western corner of Serengeti National Park (a few countries north of Chobe). Let’s say they start their trip at & Beyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge, a solar-powered luxury conservation lodge with 10 suites (each with its own pool) and a reliable place to see hippos, lions, Nile crocodiles, even the Great Migration river crossings, especially if they’re willing to wake up at dawn for a hotair-balloon safari. Then the newlyweds could fly southeast to & Beyond Mnemba Island — a spit of sand less than 1 mile wide off the coast of Zanzibar. The barely-an-island has next-level bungalows, a coral reef and an abundance of marine life. The hotel operates a program called Oceans Without Borders with their community development partner, Wild Impact, to preserve the local ecosystem.

Pacific Northwest

“I want a wild otter so bad,” Kelce said recently on “New Heights,” the podcast he hosts with his brother Jason. “I want it, too, honestly. Who doesn’t?” Swift seconded. Add that desire to her lyrics about “salt air and the rust on your door” from “August,” and you arrive at the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, the banks of Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island’s wild west coast. The only structure for miles is Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, an offgrid, luxury eco-lodge that sits on 600 acres of a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve

that is packed with black coastal bears, gray whales, orcas, dolphins, sea lions and yes, a thriving population of sea otters. The ecolodge runs on solar power and each of the 25 white canvas safari tents are taken down at the end of each season to minimize Clayoquot’s environmental impact. Most visitors get in and out by seaplane (boat transfers from Tofino, 45 minutes away on Vancouver Island, are also available), but Kelce and Swift could charter their own boat with Nicholson Yachts in case they decide to sail off to the San Juan or Gulf islands in the Salish Sea, or just into the sunset.

Antarctica

Most famous person on the planet, meet the most remote place on Earth. Thousands of miles from paparazzi, fans and the rest of the world’s population, the White Desert only exists for a few months a year. To get there, guests start in Cape Town — maybe spending a few nights at the Silo Hotel or the Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel — before flying to Antarctica and landing on Wolf’s Fang, a runway made entirely of compacted blue ice. White Desert is a carbon-neutral luxury hotel (if you don’t count the plane rides) with two camps: Whichaway (on a freshwater lake) and Echo (overlooking striking rock formations), and some of the proceeds from the hotel go to research and conservation efforts in Antarctica. Each camp has half a dozen futuristic pods in the middle of nowhere surrounded by whiteness — a place Stormtroopers might go on vacation. Should the Kansas City Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, however, this one is off the table: The hotel is only open between November and February when the camps are dismantled and removed, leaving the area to the thousands of emperor penguins who call it home.

Bhutan

By some estimates, Swift traveled more than 100,000 miles for her Eras Tour. So let’s assume she doesn’t have a fear of flying. (Anyone who does might want to skip this one.) The journey starts by flying into Paro, Bhutan — one of the only flights in the world with a view of Mount Everest — and a distinctly difficult landing. Bhutan is one of the few carbon negative countries on Earth, which means sustainability is taken as seriously as meditation. Mr. and Mrs. Swift-Kelce have options: stay at Gangtey Lodge, a remote, 12-suite luxury lodge overlooking the Phobjikha Valley, or Six Senses Paro, which is built inside 15th-century stone ruins and a good starting point for a trek to Taktsang Palphug Monastery, more commonly known as the Tiger’s Nest, a monastery built into the

side of a mountain about 10,000 feet above sea level. Wherever they stay, they’d probably want to go to Gasa Village by helicopter to visit Gasa Dzong, a spectacular Dzong monastery built in the 17th century. Or the couple could go for broke — which would take them a while — and bounce between Aman hotels: Amankora Paro, Amankora Thimphu, Amankora Punakha and Amankora Gangtey, treating themselves to sound baths, fire blessing ceremonies and private dinners in the middle of the forest.

Croatia

Imagine roaming around the Cyclades 50 years ago — great food, sparkling beaches, relatively sparse crowds — and you’ll get an idea of what island hopping in Croatia is like today. Some companies organize tours through the archipelago, but Swift and Kelce, who has Croatian ancestry, will probably want something more tailor-made. (Or, Taylor-made, if you like.) This is where the boat comes in. A luxury yacht, like Satori, means exploring wherever you want — maybe the coves of the Pakleni Islands or the windy cobblestone streets of Hvar or the harbor at Korcula where they can spend a few nights in the Lesic Dimitri Palace. Somewhere in there, the pair might want a few nights at Lopud 1483, a 500-year-old monastery that has been converted into a high-end resort. Or they could book a few spa treatments at San Canzian Hotel & Residences in Istria. For their final stop, we’d suggest cruising over to the One & Only Portonovi in Montenegro.

Versailles

If Swift’s “Enchanted” is an anthem for every romantic, then few places capture the fairy tale — that “this night is sparkling” — quite like Versailles. The 17th-century palace — built by Louis XIII in the 1620s and later immortalized by Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette after they married in 1770 — remains a superlative for royalty in all its forms. Within its gates there’s a secret hiding in plain sight — a single hotel on the palace grounds. Staying at Airelles Château de Versailles Le Grand Contrôle comes with private access to the palace and gardens, a restaurant by Alain Ducasse, a five-star spa, and the general impression that you should always be wearing a ball gown or a tux. Since Paris is less than an hour away, the happy couple could dash off for dinner at Anona or Chez André or the more casual Fontaine de Mars. Ultimately, it’ll be time to get back to writing songs and playing football. Let’s agree that Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the world’s nicest train and the perfect way to get down to Italy before flying home.

Puerto Rico finishes in 5th place at U-18 World Baseball Cup in Okinawa

By THE STAR STAFF

The Puerto Rico U-18 National Team finished in fifth place at the 2025 U-18 World Baseball Cup, losing 7-0 to the United States on Saturday at Okinawa Cellular Stadium in Japan.

“Our hopes for a medal were dashed when we lost to Taiwan [on Friday],” Team Puerto Rico manager Eddie González said in a written statement. “In the game against the United States, we came to finish what we came to do, and the boys finished well. I believe we had a great tournament.”

“The offense didn’t flow as we expected, but I take my hat off to the pitching. They did an exceptional job,” he added. “Now it’s time to evaluate what went wrong and what was done well, so we can start planning for the next event.”

With the result, Puerto Rico matched its finish at the 2023 World Cup. The 2025 team closed the tournament with an overall record of 4-4.

Starting pitcher Joniel Cuadrado took the loss after allowing the first two runs in three innings.

On Friday, Puerto Rico lost 1-0 to Taiwan in a game controlled from the mound. Seven innings weren’t enough to decide the game, which extended into the ninth, when Kai-Qi Li singled to center field to drive in Shu-Cheng Hsu.

Puerto Rico got brilliant pitching from Richard de Jesús and Joniel Miranda. De Jesús pitched seven innings, allowing just one hit -in the sixth inning -- striking out four and issuing just one walk. Miranda completed the relief appearance, and the only run he allowed was unearned, due to the tiebreaker rule.

Team Puerto Rico racked up 16 consecutive scoreless innings in its final two games in the tournament’s super round.

Against the United States, the Puerto Rican bats managed just two hits off pitchers Matthew Sharman and Cole Koeniger, who combined to post seven scoreless innings.

The United States took control from the first inning, with a single by Andrew Costello that drove in Aiden Ruiz. In the second inning, a single by Coleman Birthwick brought in the second run, and in the fifth, a five-run rally completed the scoring.

For Taiwan, pitchers Shih-Chan Chen and Chien-Fan Lai combined to silence the Puerto Rican offense, striking out eight and allowing just two hits, by Javeth Carrión and Emanuel Hernández.

For the tournament, Puerto Rico posted wins against Italy, South Africa, Cuba and Panama, and suffered losses to Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the United States.

Governor declares day of mourning for sports announcer Díaz González Toritos, Plataneros start strong in men’s volleyball semifinals

By THE STAR STAFF

Gov. Jenniffer

González Colón sent her condolences to the family and friends of sports commentator Ernesto “Ernestito” Díaz González, who passed away last Friday morning.

“On behalf of the people of Puerto Rico, we express our condolences to the family of Ernesto Díaz and thank him for a successful career, not only reporting on sports but also uniting Puerto Ricans in one of the things we love most: sporting events,” the governor said Friday in a written statement. “I am deeply saddened and hope that his eternal light shines for him, may he rest in peace.”

González Colón declared a day of mourning in memory of the colorful sports commentator whose catchphrases such as “¡Éeeeeeeechaleee!”, “¡Y va a seguirrrrr!”, “¡De lagrimita!” and “¡Por el cristallll!” became part of the island’s sports lexicon, and ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in all government offices today.

While the Plataneros of Corozal dominated Game 1 of Semifinal A in the Puerto Rican Men’s Superior Volleyball League (LVSM by its initials in Spanish) against the Patriotas of Lares on Friday night at Howard T. Jason Court in Corozal, the Toritos of Cayey swept the Reyes of Juana Díaz in straight sets in their Semifinal B matchup at the University of Puerto Rico-Cayey court.

The Toritos sealed their victory with set scores of 25-21, 25-23 and 25-20 in a match that lasted 1 hour and 26 minutes.

Cayey’s offense was led by Julián Soto with 18 points, followed by Luis Fraticelli with 12.

The best-of-three series was to continue on Sunday night at Dolores “Toyita” Martínez Coliseum in Juana Díaz.

Meanwhile, Corozal defeated Lares by scores of 25-23, 25-17 and 25-12 in a match that lasted four minutes less than the Cayey-

Juana Díaz encounter.

The Plataneros and Patriotas were also to meet again on Sunday night at Félix Méndez Acevedo Coliseum in Lares.

In an opening match of the Puerto Rican Men’s Superior Volleyball League semifinals, the Toritos of Cayey, in white, swept the Reyes of Juana Díaz in straight sets at the University of Puerto Rico-Cayey court on Friday night.

The Puerto Rico U-18 National Team’s fifth-place finish at the 2025 U-18 World Baseball Cup in Okinawa, Japan matched the 2023 team’s performance at the same tournament.
