Jennifer Sontag cracked her skull and couldn’t afford emergency brain surgery. Her doctors suggested she start a GoFundMe. “Their advice was, ‘You’ve got to get the surgery. You’ll work it out later,’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? Your advice to someone in a medical crisis is to beg for money?’” Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. Sontag, 52, was teaching business management in China in 2019 when she fell while exiting a bus and hit her head so hard that it caused a leak of cerebral fluid in her brain. She spent five days in a hospital in Shanghai before her worried family persuaded her to get the necessary surgery close to them in St. Louis. Her hospital bill in China came out to roughly $1,300, she said. In Missouri, she negotiated the price of her operation down to about $100,000, resigning herself to a life of medical debt. Sontag, an entrepreneur who for years owned clothing boutiques in St. Louis and Kansas City, had moved to China largely because she had become fed up with the U.S. health care system. A decade before her fall, in the United States, she married her boyfriend “purely to get health insurance,” she said, because she was already struggling to afford care for Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel condition. Within a year of getting married, she suffered a ruptured bowel, had emergency surgery and was saddled with some $20,000 in medical bills. She eventually filed for bankruptcy, unable to afford the costs as her illness stopped her from working. “Even with his medical insurance, the co-pays and deductibles were so high that we still could not keep up,” she said. Years later, the couple divorced, and Sontag said she knew she had “no other options” but to leave the United States. - - - ‘The most expensive health care system in the world’ Sontag is part of a small and largely unstudied group of Americans who have decided to leave the United States permanently because of their concerns over health care costs. They’ve instead chosen countries with socialized medicine, universal health care coverage or lower medical costs. “For anybody who has a chronic illness, for people who are middle class, people maybe lower on the income scale, this might be a very, very strong motivation to move to a country that has a more comprehensive health care system that is also less expensive,” said Gerald F. Kominski, a professor emeritus at UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health. More than 30 countries have universal health care, according to a 2022 list from the New York state government, and many others offer some form of socialized medicine or government-subsidized care. “It’s widely known and has been in our field for decades that the United States is the most expensive health care system in the world, any way that you want to measure it,” Kominski said. In a system where most people pay into employer-provided health insurance plans, those who are self-employed like Sontag can suffer long gaps in medical coverage. Many are too young to qualify for Medicare and too well-off for Medicaid. And health insurance isn’t a complete safety net, either. More than 40 percent of Americans are in some form of medical debt, according to the KFF, even though the latest U.S. Census Bureau figures show that about 92 percent of Americans were insured for all or part of 2023. Experts say the United States stands out from most other developed nations in that it has no stop-loss provision, or limit, on the amount of medical debt a family can be burdened with. “Even among the best-insured in the employment sector, there are still individuals who, depending on the condition they have - depending on whether their company provides generous benefits or only high-deductible plans - can find themselves facing very large health expenditures,” Kominski said. Now, Sontag lives in the beachside city of Palermo, Italy, where she’s still paying off her U.S. medical debt but can access tax-funded national health care with no out-of-pocket costs. She declared citizenship through her family heritage and started a concierge business that helps other Americans apply for citizenship or obtain visas. Roughly three-quarters of her clients cited health care costs as one of their primary motivations, she said. Business is booming, especially since President Donald Trump’s election, she said, and she recently expanded her relocation services to Spain. Clients have cited their concerns over the future of Social Security, protections outlined in the Affordable Care Act and children’s special-needs services. “I live five minutes from the sea. I’m surrounded by the mountains, I can go to the doctor, I can eat good foods without pesticides - my Crohn’s disease is very under-control now,” she said in a video call from a beachside terrace. “But, you know, the resentment is always there. My mom has Alzheimer’s. I can’t be with her, and I’m afraid to go back to the U.S. because I don’t have health coverage when I’m there.” - - - Lower costs, even without insurance Jason Kim, a 25-year-old crypto trader who grew up in Texas, was first confronted with a big medical bill when he was 19. Unaware of the cost of an ambulance ride, he called 911 and was taken to a hospital in New York City, where he was diagnosed with jock itch. The bill came out to about $50,000, he said. The next day, he signed up for Medicaid. The bill ended up getting covered, but the experience made him afraid to go to the doctor for years. It wasn’t until he moved to South Korea - a place he hadn’t lived since he was 13 - that he sought help for skin issues and an increasingly severe case of gastroesophageal reflux disease. He was easily able to afford an endoscopy and other treatments there, even before he received coverage under the government-subsidized national health insurance plan, which all residents are eligible for. He now lives in Seoul on a visa secured through his Korean heritage. “I feel like health care in America is a kind of fraud,” he said. “They overbill you, and when you speak to them and try to negotiate, they lower the bill.” Kim said he left the U.S. because he couldn’t afford quality health insurance while self-employed, and because of the overall cost of living. “I do miss America,” he said. “I miss the bigger roads, the bigger personal space, the better air quality. … It’s livable if you have the right coverage.” - - - Choosing between coverage and making a living Amy Willard, 61, survived cancer three times between 2009 and 2011: breast cancer twice and metastatic melanoma, a disease that had taken her mother’s life. In Colorado Springs, she ran a small housecleaning business for about three decades, never making over $40,000 a year. She bounced in and out of health care coverage, often earning too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford the $600 to $800 in monthly insurance premiums she was quoted. “If there’s a crack, I always somehow manage to fall right into it,” she joked. At the peak of her health crisis, Willard had 11 cancer surgeries and was able to get Medicaid to cover them all. But she only qualified because she was too sick to work more than a few hours a week, causing her income to spiral. Once Willard was in remission and able to make more money, she lost her Medicaid coverage but couldn’t afford private insurance plans, making follow-up care a financial burden. “It was a lot of food stamps, a lot of social help, a few donations from friends. There were definitely some lean times, that’s for sure,” she said. After the coronavirus pandemic devastated her cleaning business, she started thinking about an out. That’s when she remembered her dreams as a preteen girl mesmerized by a French teacher “who brought in croissants and spoke this beautiful language.” She started making plans to move to a village in southwest France. “We get older, things start going on, and we need more regular health care,” she said. “And I thought, ‘I really can’t afford to be here.’” She now lives in Saint Gaultier, about a four-hour drive southwest of Paris, on a renewable one-year visa that she hopes to roll into a more permanent status. She runs a small Etsy shop from her home along a small river, where she says she enjoys listening to the birds in the morning. Every time she visits the local clinic, she pays a flat fee of 25 euros (about $29), and all of her medications total about the same per month - a price so “insanely reasonable” that she is okay living without comprehensive health coverage for now, she said. The French government requires those who apply for her visa to initially obtain a private plan that covers serious medical emergencies and disasters, so she has a policy that costs her about $350 a year. She applied to join France’s national health care system last year. Then, this past June, Willard was suddenly hospitalized for nine days over anemia so severe that she needed four transfusions of blood, she said. She was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal tumor about the size of a grapefruit, and will need major abdominal surgery. French health care workers told her not to worry about the costs, saying her national health insurance card was being expedited. So far, she has not had to pay for her hospitalization or her two ambulance rides, and she says she regrets waiting so long to go to the hospital. Americans “often must weigh the risk of financial ruin against how sick we feel,” Willard said. “It’s shameful that this is so deeply ingrained to us ‘poorer’ folk. I nearly died.” Related Content Ukraine scrambles to roll back Russian eastern advance as summit takes place Her dogs kept dying, and she got cancer. Then they tested her water.

Every 90 Day Fiancé show seems to bleed into one spinoff or another spinoff these days. Happily Ever After? certainly seems to be a conduit for cast to join 90 Day: The Last Resort, which makes sense due its married couples evaluating their lives after nuptials While some couples seem to be in a good place this season, it looks like three are already in need of making resort plans to work on their relationships. I have no idea if The Last Resort Season 3 will premiere on the 2025 TV schedule or if it'll be held for 2026, but I have some predictions about the couples who will participate. Barring some significant changes going down before the end of the season, I'd expect to see the following couples linking up again in the therapy-based spinoff. Credit: TLCAndrei & LibbyThey had a good drama-free run after cutting ties with a bulk of Libby Castravet's family, so it was only a matter of time before something bad came their way again. Andrei had to come clean during the Moldovan trip that he might've lost $75,000 paying a Russian company to renovate a property he bought there shortly before the war with Ukraine. Libby wasn't thrilled by the news, primarily since he'd known for months and only decided to tell her after she and her father, Chuck, spotted the house in a state of disrepair. Libby ended up leaving Moldova with Chuck a week early, and it doesn't seem like Andrei is going to join them on the flight home. Hopefully, he'll use that week to sort out what happened to their money and consider an apology and a way to make amends with his wife upon returning home. I'm almost certain this will be a major storyline heading into a future appearance on 90 Day: The Last Resort, especially when they're one of the few married veterans who haven't been on the show yet. Credit: TLCGeorgi & DarceyGeorgi Rusev and Darcey Silva haven't been seen in 90 Day Fiancé much as a couple ever since her spinoff was canceled, but they're back and still dealing with some of the same insecurities they faced when dating. Darcey still seems to have some doubt that Georgi is proud to have her as a wife, and he hasn't done much to reassure her otherwise. Darcey already had an appearance on 90 Day: The Last Resort when her sister Stacey was a part of the Season 2 cast. It's possible that it was a soft launch to remind the audience who she was, so that she can show up when the next season kicks off. She has enough relationship problems with Georgi to qualify, and again, there's a shrinking list of couples they can use for the show. Credit: TLCAdnan & TigerlilyI've been expecting issues to crop up between Adnan and Tigerlily Abdelfattah ever since they decided to get married the first time they ever met in person.

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Danish shipping company Maersk said on Monday that a fire that broke out onboard the vessel Marie Maersk off Liberia on Wednesday last week had stopped spreading, and that firefighting efforts would be intensified further. "Over the weekend, the crew's ongoing firefighting has stopped the fire onboard from spreading further," Maersk said in an emailed statement. "We expect firefighting efforts to intensify further once the external firefighters can board Marie Maersk and bring further relief to the Marie Maersk crew," it said. Maersk said that the crew onboard was safe, and that the vessel will be brought to a port of refuge. The company said it could not comment on the impact of the fire to the cargo.

For three years, Mike Davis, a Republican lawyer and former legal counsel to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has pushed for federal criminal investigations of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and senior FBI, CIA and Justice Department officials. Now, a series of recent investigations approved by Attorney General Pam Bondi suggests to Davis that his long-sought goal is most likely approaching. Bondi this month approved two federal criminal investigations of New York Attorney General Letitia James and one of Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. Bondi also instructed an unnamed federal prosecutor to begin a grand jury investigation of whether Obama administration officials committed federal crimes when they assessed Russia’s actions during the 2016 election. Mike Davis in Oxon Hill, Md., on Feb. 20. (Dominic Gwinn / AFP via Getty Images file)Bondi’s order came weeks after National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard accused Obama and his aides of a “treasonous conspiracy” and said she had sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department. Davis applauded Bondi’s actions in a recent interview. “This is the greatest conspiracy in American history,” he said, referring to what he says are Democratic plots against President Donald Trump. “There must be the most severe legal, political and financial consequences for this unprecedented weaponization. This must never happen again.” Bondi’s office and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Obama, Biden, Clinton and former FBI, Justice Department and CIA officials have repeatedly dismissed the allegations. Democrats say new probes are an effort to distract attention from allegations that Trump has abused his power in his second term and from his failure to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. Former senior Justice Department and FBI officials note that a Trump-appointed special counsel and Republican senators already investigated the claims and found no crimes. They called the idea “absurd,” “bananas” and “insane.” Davis said he is unaware of Bondi’s next step. But he praised the recent party-line Senate confirmation of a new U.S. attorney in South Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, whom he called a personal friend and urged senators to support. “I want Jason to set up his own grand jury and pursue this aggressively,” Davis said. “And I want him to put criminals in prison for a very long time.” Road map for a Florida federal investigationDavis called for Quiñones to convene a special federal grand jury in Port St. Lucie, the seat of St. Lucie County, which Trump carried by 10 percentage points last year. It would investigate what he calls a Democratic conspiracy to undermine Trump stretching from the 2016 campaign to the 2022 FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago estate to today. Quiñones, a Miami-Dade County judge appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a year ago, is a former federal prosecutor in Miami and a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve. He was a major crimes prosecutor but received poor performance evaluations, The Miami Herald reported. Quiñones filed and dropped a racial discrimination complaint and moved to the Civil Division, where he received satisfactory reviews. Quiñones and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Viewing the Mar-a-Lago search as part of a decadelong anti-Trump conspiracy serves a legal purpose: It could allow prosecutors to treat alleged acts from 2016 and 2017 as part of a single conspiracy and bypass a five-year statute of limitations on denial of rights charges. Three former FBI and Justice Department officials with direct knowledge of the Mar-a-Lago search told NBC News that it was conducted properly and approved by a federal judge and that it was the result of Trump’s own actions. The officials said the National Archives first alerted them that Trump appeared to have classified materials. Trump then declined repeated requests to return the documents for a year. A former senior Justice Department official dismissed Davis’ calls for a criminal investigation of the Mar-a-Lago search. “It’s outrageous,” the former senior Justice Department official said. Multiple investigations of Democratic rivals underwayThree people familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News this month that the Justice Department has opened a federal criminal investigation of lawsuits James’ office filed against Trump. James has dismissed the Justice Department investigation, which is based in Albany, New York, as political payback. The James probe is examining whether the state attorney general’s office committed “conspiracy against rights” and violated Trump’s civil rights when it brought a lawsuit that claimed Trump grossly inflated the values of his assets for personal profit. A Manhattan judge ruled last year that Trump did so and ordered him to pay a roughly $500 million fine, a ruling that infuriated him. Separately, the Bondi Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation in Virginia into possible mortgage fraud by James and another into Schiff in connection with an allegation of potential mortgage fraud in Maryland. James and Schiff have said the investigations are political retribution. Bondi appointed Ed Martin, a Trump loyalist who represented Jan. 6 defendants and praised Trump’s mass pardons of them, to oversee both probes. Davis said the “conspiracy against rights” charge could be used in the Florida investigation he believes should be conducted. Legal experts have noted that the charge was created by the Enforcement Act of 1870, which Congress passed to prevent white people from blocking freed slaves from voting. Davis said special counsel Jack Smith used the same charge when he accused Trump of trying to illegally reverse the outcome of the 2020 election. “The Democrats set the precedent that former presidents are fair game,” Davis said. Could Democrats be indicted and convicted?Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor and Columbia Law School professor whom Republicans have accused of conspiring with former FBI Director James Comey, said filing criminal charges based on debunked claims is possible. “If you’re willing to ignore the facts,” Richman said, “you can come up with criminal charges.” But Richman cautioned that securing a federal indictment, trial and conviction — even in areas where the majority of voters voted for Trump — would be difficult given the many actors and elements involved. Prosecutors need indictments from grand juries, judges can dismiss weak cases, witnesses must be credible, and jurors must unanimously agree on guilt. “Jurors take their duties seriously,” Richman said. “I’m not ready to say the people in these jurisdictions are totally in the tank for this administration.” A former senior national security official who spoke anonymously, citing the Trump administration’s public attacks on former officials, suggested two potential scenarios: “Either Bondi and Gabbard know that there is indeed no evidence of any criminal activity, in which case it’s completely corrupt and a political stunt,” the former official said, “or, more darkly, they actually believe this stuff and are acting out of authoritarian instinct and this is something out of Orwell.” This article was originally published on NBCNews.com View the full article

In the first Trump administration, then-Rep. Adam Schiff led the House’s investigations into Donald Trump, first as the top Democrat on the intelligence committee’s probe into Russian election interference and then as the lead investigator of the withholding of Ukraine aid that led to the president’s first impeachment. When Trump was out of office, Schiff was a member of the House committee that investigated his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Now, with Trump back in the White House and Schiff in the Senate, the president is using the full force of the federal government to try to turn the tables on his longtime nemesis. Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel declassified and released internal FBI interview notes from a former House Intelligence Committee staffer who first accused Schiff in 2017 of directing illegal leaks of classified information about Trump and Russia. The allegations from the former staffer had already been investigated in Trump’s first term by federal prosecutors, who questioned the staffer’s credibility. But that didn’t stop Trump from using the claims as a basis to call on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the California Democrat. “I’m looking at Pam because I hope something’s going to be done about it,” Trump said while speaking at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday. “It was a hoax created by the Democrats, but in particular, Schiff, crooked Hillary, the whole group.” And last month, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a Trump ally, referred Schiff to the Justice Department over allegations of mortgage fraud. Schiff’s lawyer blasted media reports of a grand jury investigation, calling the claims “transparently false, stale, and long debunked.” President Donald Trump departs an event at the Kennedy Center on August 13. - Francis Chung/Politico/APA nine-year fightThe attacks on Schiff are the latest example of how Trump and his government have carried out a campaign of retribution against a wide swath of the president’s perceived political enemies, ranging from former Trump officials to members of Congress to the prosecutors who brought cases against Trump while he was out of office. CNN reported this month that the Justice Department opened a grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over the civil actions she brought against Trump and the National Rifle Association. That came after the Trump administration launched an investigation into allegations of mortgage fraud against James, similar to those leveled against Schiff. (James’ attorney said they were “baseless and long-discredited allegations.”) Trump has called for James to be prosecuted for years, too. Trump has a long history of attacking Schiff, going back to 2017 and the Russia investigation. He’s accused the California Democrat of treason and called for his prosecution on numerous occasions. Trump’s calls last year to prosecute Schiff and the other members of the House January 6 committee prompted outgoing President Joe Biden to issue a preemptive pardon to everyone who served on the panel. Then-Rep. Schiff, left, and the other members of the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol arrive for a hearing in June 2022. - Jabin Botsford/Pool/ReutersTrump’s attacks helped Schiff become a household name and a fundraising juggernaut in Democratic circles for his work investigating and impeaching Trump, leading up to his successful Senate campaign in 2024. Schiff has long embraced his role as a MAGA villain, making it clear — often through defiant speeches — that he has no intention of backing down. When House Republicans voted to censure Schiff in 2023 over his allegations about Trump and Russia, he called it a “badge of honor.” “Ever since I led his first impeachment, he’s threatened me with jail and prosecution and called me a traitor and accused me of treason, blah, blah, blah,” Schiff said last month on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” “So, I just want to direct this, if this is the right camera,” he continued, turning to face the camera directly for full effect: “Donald, piss off.” Schiff is also making preparations for a legal fight. Preet Bharara, the high-powered former US attorney for the Southern District of New York, this month was named as Schiff’s personal attorney, issuing a statement on Schiff’s behalf earlier this month following reports that the Justice Department had tapped DOJ official Ed Martin to investigate mortgage allegations against Schiff and James. “Any supposed investigation led by him would by the very definition of weaponization of the justice process,” Bharara said. Martin, who was tapped as director of the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group in May after his confirmation to be US attorney for the District of Columbia fizzled out, appeared Sunday on Fox News to talk about the probes, suggesting the investigations of Schiff and James could be far-reaching. “These referrals are criminal referrals significant enough that they would warrant using all the tools,” Martin said Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.” “If somebody did something wrong, we’re not only going to hold them accountable, we’re also going to look at everything else that they’ve been doing.” Schiff leaves a Senate briefing on June 17. - Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images‘We found it. We declassified it.’The new documents declassified and publicized last week came from interviews the FBI conducted with a former intelligence committee staffer in 2017, 2019 and 2023 as part of an investigation into classified leaks. The interview notes, known as 302s, were declassified and sent to Congress last week by Patel — who himself was a senior aide on the intelligence committee in 2017 working for then-Chair Devin Nunes. The FBI notes, which were obtained by CNN, were first reported by Just the News, a site run by conservative journalist John Solomon, who along with Patel was named as Trump’s representative to the National Archives in 2022. “We found it. We declassified it. Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives — and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people,” Patel wrote on X, sharing Solomon’s story. The staffer, whose name is redacted from the notes and whom CNN is not naming because he hasn’t made the allegations publicly, told investigators that he believed Schiff and Democratic staffers on the committee were leaking classified information about Trump and Russia in 2017. In the 2023 interview, the staffer accused Democrats on the committee of “treasonous” activity, going further than his prior interviews. According to the notes, the staffer alleged that at a 2017 staff meeting, “Schiff stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States President Donald J Trump. Schiff stated the information would be used to indict President Trump.” While these FBI interview notes contained new details about the allegations of leaks coming from the House Intelligence Committee, the staffer’s allegations were already investigated by the FBI during the first Trump administration as part of a leak probe into numerous media reports containing classified intelligence from 2017. In fact, the information the staffer provided to the FBI drove the Justice Department’s investigative steps in the leak probes — including obtaining the phone and email records of Schiff, California Rep. Eric Swalwell, multiple congressional staffers and their spouses, according to a Justice Department inspector general report on the investigations released last year. The Justice Department also confidentially obtained phone and email records of multiple journalists as part of the probe, including from CNN. But the inspector general found that prosecutors in the US attorney’s office for the District of Columbia conducting the investigation concluded the former staffer “had little support for their contentions that certain individuals could be leaking classified information and may not have been credible.” In subsequent search warrants, the inspector general wrote, “the Department noted that the Committee Witness was of ‘unknown reliability.’” Schiff speaks during a hearing on "Russia Investigative Task Force: Social Media Companies," before the House Select Intelligence Committee in November 2017. - Alex Wong/Getty ImagesThe staffer who brought the leak allegations to the FBI was fired from the committee in 2017, which he told other aides happened because “there was an expectation of leaking and he refused to participate,” according to the FBI interview notes. But a former senior congressional official with firsthand knowledge told CNN that characterization was false. The congressional official says the staffer was fired for cause stemming from travel-related incidents that dated back before 2017. The former intelligence committee staffer did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment. A spokesperson for Schiff said the allegations that the California Democrat leaked classified documents were “absolutely and categorically false” and an attempt by the Trump administration to detract from the uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein files. “These baseless smears are based on allegations that were found to be not reliable, not credible, and unsubstantiated from a disgruntled former staffer who was fired by the House Intelligence Committee for cause in early 2017,” the spokesperson said. Leak probes closed without chargesThe staffer also alleged that Swalwell — a former member of the intelligence committee who was removed from the panel with Schiff in 2023 by then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy — was a source of leaks from the committee. “A particularly sensitive document … viewed by a small contingent of staff, as well as Schiff and Representative Eric Swalwell,” the staffer told the FBI, according to the 302s. “Within 24 hours of (the House Intelligence Committee) reviewing the document the information contained in the document appeared in the press.” Asked about the allegations, Swalwell shared with CNN text messages that the staffer sent years later in 2021, saying that he hoped the California Democrat stayed on the intelligence committee and requesting to be connected to Swalwell’s political staff. “This is an effort by Kash Patel — who listed me as his top enemy in his book — to try and silence me. It won’t work,” Swalwell said. The leak investigations from 2017 were ultimately closed with no charges filed, according to the inspector general. The FBI’s decision, beginning in 2017, to secretly obtain the records of members of Congress, congressional staffers and reporters sparked outrage when it was disclosed in 2021 — including from Patel himself, who was also a Republican staffer on the committee when his records were secretly obtained. Patel filed a lawsuit in 2023 over the move against Trump’s prior top DOJ and FBI appointees, including former FBI Director Christopher Wray. The suit was dismissed by a federal judge last fall.

Washington — Former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown announced a bid to once again represent Ohio in the Senate on Monday, nearly a year after his reelection effort in 2024 fell short. "I didn't plan to run for office again. But when I see what's going on, I know I can do something about it for Ohio," Brown said in a video announcement. "That's why I'm running for Senate, because even in these challenging times, I still believe if you stand up for workers, treat people with respect, and always fight for Ohio, you can actually make a difference." Brown, 72, lost his bid for a fourth term in the upper chamber last November against GOP challenger Sen. Bernie Moreno. Brown was the sole Democrat holding statewide office in Ohio and was one of the key targets for Republicans in the 2024 election in which they took control of the Senate. Sen.

But President Trump won Ohio by more than 10 percentage points, making Brown's election a steep uphill climb. Moreno beat him by less than four points. In 2026, Brown is set to face off against Sen. Jon Husted, a Republican who was appointed to fill Ohio's other Senate seat, which Vice President JD Vance vacated. The special election will determine who will serve the remainder of Vance's term, meaning the winner would have to run for election again in 2028. Husted, 57, was appointed in January by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, and previously served as DeWine's lieutenant governor. The Ohio race is expected to be a tough battle for Democrats, as the party seeks to retake the majority in the Senate. With 53 Republicans in the upper chamber, Democrats would need to defend seats in a handful of potentially competitive states, while flipping four seats to retake a majority in 2026. While few races appear comfortably in range, Democrats have been working to recruit formidable candidates, like former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, to boost their chances. Brown's entrance into the race marks the latest recruiting victory for the party. Alaska Sen.

As students head back to campus this fall, safety is once again top of mind for parents and new and returning students alike. New data reveals the most dangerous college towns in America for 2025 and, while each has its own challenges, former U.S. Secret Service agent and campus security expert Bobby McDonald says there is that plenty students can do to protect themselves. "Common sense on the front end will negate a lot of bad things on the back end," McDonald told Fox News Digital. "Safety needs to become muscle memory, like buckling a seat belt." Compiled by Wasatch Defense Lawyers, the 2025 "Most Dangerous College Towns" rankings are based on a two-year analysis (May 2023–May 2025) of crime data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting system and local police departments. The study examined 26 U.S. college towns, normalizing rates of violent crime, property crime, drug offenses and weapons violations per 10,000 residents to allow fair comparisons across different-sized communities. Former Capitol Police Chief Says Crime By ‘Gangs Of Youth’ In Dc Has Spiked, Escaped ‘Certain Neighborhoods’ Read On The Fox News App New data reveals the most dangerous college towns in America for 2025.Gainesville leads the nation in reported crimes per capita, with 179 incidents per 10,000 residents between May 2023 and May 2025. While the University of Florida campus itself is well-patrolled, surrounding areas see higher rates of property crime, burglary and theft. The city’s vibrant nightlife and large student population create opportunities for both petty and serious offenses. Florida fans cheer during a game against Vanderbilt at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville.When it comes to nightlife, McDonald said you "don't ever want to leave anybody at the bar." "Nothing good happens at that point with respect to that individual that you’re leaving behind. So your friend may be upset with you for a couple of hours. But the fact of the matter is, you took charge of a situation, got them in a car, got them on the bus, got on the railroad, got in the subway, whatever it is, and got them home safe." Us Crime Dropped Widely In 2024, Fbi Says — With Some Notable Caveats Tuscaloosa, home to the University of Alabama, ranks second with 149 crimes per 10,000 residents. Much of the risk is tied to areas with heavy nightlife activity, where alcohol-related incidents and thefts are more common. The Rose Administration Building on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.The city’s mix of student renters and visiting sports fans can also create conditions for opportunistic crime. Tempe’s ranking is driven by its size, dense student population and active party scene. The city recorded 136 crimes per 10,000 residents, with property crimes such as burglary and vehicle theft among the most reported. Its proximity to Phoenix, Arizona also adds to its crime ranking. "We’ve got to think about the little things. Lock the door, lock the door to your car. A lot of times, kids will leave their wallet or their keys in their car and the door open. That’s not really someone stealing your car, that’s an invitation for someone to take your car, so we don’t want people to have to live in a prison, but again, just a little bit of common sense on the front end will negate a lot of bad things on the back end." New Haven lands at number four with 126 crimes per 10,000 residents. While Yale University invests heavily in campus security, nearby neighborhoods see higher levels of violent crime, including robbery and assault.

McDonald encouraged new and returning students to take advantage of free resources provided for students. "It’s very incumbent upon those police agencies to have a dialogue that’s always going on with students that they are approachable. That they’re reachable when the call comes in, that they have a quick response time to show that they are interested not only in the students that are living in the dorm, but the students that are living in a private house two blocks off of campus," he said. "Those students are still our customers and we wanna make sure that they’ve very well taken care of." Ithaca’s charming small-town image contrasts with its property crime rate, placing it fifth on the list at 120 crimes per 10,000 residents. Burglaries and thefts from unlocked residences and vehicles are common. While violent crime is relatively low, opportunistic crime can spike during academic breaks when many students leave town.

The university’s lively downtown district is a hot spot for both student activity and petty crime. McDonald encourages students to build safety habits before going out. "The time to figure out what to do when something goes wrong is not when it’s happening. It’s to have a little bit of a plan beforehand," he said. Cedar City’s crime rate of 91 per 10,000 residents places it eighth on the list, with most incidents concentrated in low-traffic residential areas. While violent crime is relatively rare, property crimes like burglary and theft occur more often than many realize. The Michigan State Spartans' mascotEast Lansing reports 90 crimes per 10,000 residents, with incidents clustered near busy student corridors and nightlife hubs. McDonald provided practical tips for students to have common sense. "We want students to make good decisions. And we also want them to have common sense. They want, we want, to travel in pairs," he said. "Don’t be showing a lot of money. Don’t leave somebody behind at the bar." Both theft and alcohol-related disturbances are common, especially on weekends with the school's sports fans. "If you see people hanging around the campus that don’t fit the bill, certainly not profiling somebody, but most people around the campuses are 18-22. Now, is that to say we don’t have any students that are 40? No, we don’t have many students that are living in the dorms though," McDonald said. "So if you see people hanging who don’t look like they should be there, then report them to the campus police or security, let them deal with it." The Indiana University football stadium in BloomingtonBloomington, Indiana, rounds out the top 10 with 85 crimes per 10,000 residents. From 2023 to 2024, the Bloomington Police Department reported a 24% drop in violent crime.

The U.S. Supreme Court has officially been asked to overturn the 2015 decision that granted equal marriage rights to LGBTQ+ couples, causing concern for many around the nation and in Oklahoma. Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses, filed an appeal on July 24 about the compensation she was ordered to pay to a gay couple she denied a license. She asked the court, which holds a conservative supermajority, to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. But legal experts previously told USA TODAY that the court is unlikely to overturn that ruling. Also, President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022, which passed through Congress with bipartisan support and requires all states to recognize same-sex and interracial marriages. Though the request has made headlines, many uncertainties remain. Here's what we do know about potential changes to the legality of same-sex marriage as of 2025, and what it might mean in Oklahoma. Same-sex marriage laws in OklahomaThe status of same-sex marriage depends on the Supreme Court's ruling. If the Court takes a route similar to the Dobbs overturn in 2022 and gives the decision to states, there is a point of contention in Oklahoma. Though Oklahoma's Bill of Rights states that marriage "shall only consist of the union of one man and one woman," and further states that all same-sex marriages from other states "shall not be recognized as valid," that has been found unconstitutional by a 2014 District Court ruling. The Constitutional Amendment was added after a Nov. 2, 2004, vote where over 533,000 Oklahomans voted to codify the illegitimacy of same-sex marriages. There were roughly 164,000 votes that supported gay marriage. After a 10-year legal battle, the amendment was found unconstitutional in 2014 following U.S. District Court Judge Terence Kern's ruling. The case ruled that the Oklahoma Constitution violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This ruled same-sex marriage legal in Oklahoma, and several couples ran to the clerk's offices to wed. In the hypothetical where the Court yields power to the states, given the unconstitutionality would still stand, Oklahoma would have to define further what marriage looks like within the state through legal action. But given that a decision has yet to be made by the Supreme Court, it is unclear what would happen to marriage equality in Oklahoma. Oklahoma legislators petitioned SCOTUS to repeal ObergefellEarlier this spring, a resolution was filed by Sen. Dusty Deevers, R-Elgin, and Rep. Jim Olsen, R-Roland, wishing that the Supreme Court overturn the Obergefell ruling. Oklahoma was one of a group of states — most of which are politically conservative — to try to push back against the 2015 decision, joining Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Michigan, South Dakota, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. Sen. Dusty Deevers waits to speak during a press conference for The Freedom Caucus at the Oklahoma Capitol in Oklahoma City, on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024.Deevers wrote in the resolution, filed May 1, that “the Obergefell decision has resulted in litigation directly targeting Christians, such as Colorado baker Jack Phillips and Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman, for adhering to the historic definition of marriage." Though the resolution did not pass the initial introduction, it went on to have 39 co-authors from both the House and the Senate listed in addition to Deevers and Olsen. Democrats at the time said the resolution was "a waste of legislative time." "All Oklahomans have the right to love whom they love in peace without state interference," said Senate Minority Leader Julia Kirt, D-Oklahoma City. "It is a waste of legislative time to attempt to roll back these rights that so many fought long and hard for."

What if you were only allowed to make one purchase of printers, signs, or gear for podcasts per month? Would you consider that fully respectful of your free speech rights? Or would you view it as an attempt to muffle people's natural right to speak out—and perhaps a hint of more restrictions to come? California has something similar in the form of a law that limits people to buy one gun per month. If you rightfully believe that rationing the ability to express oneself violates First Amendment protections for speech, you'll be glad to know the courts have found California's law in violation of the Second Amendment's protections for self-defense rights and barred its enforcement. California's Gun RationingAccording to California Penal Code section 27535, "A person shall not make an application to purchase more than one firearm within any 30-day period. This subdivision does not authorize a person to make an application to purchase a combination of firearms, completed frames or receivers, or firearm precursor parts within the same 30-day period." A list of exceptions follows, unsurprisingly heavy on government enforcers and those licensed by the state, including cops, corrections officers, and private security companies. But most Californians were limited to one (legal) firearm purchase every month. The law has been in place since 1999 but expanded over the decades from concealable firearms to all guns. The courts have not been kind to this law. Through years of rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court has acknowledged that the Second Amendment protects the natural individual right to keep and bear arms, and that it precludes many restrictions imposed at the state and local level. In particular, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022) requires that gun laws be "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." California's one-gun-a-month law was challenged by a coalition of individuals and groups including Michelle Nguyen, the Firearms Policy Coalition, and the Second Amendment Foundation in Nguyen v. Bonta. A U.S. district judge found the law unconstitutional last year, though the decision was stayed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals pending appeal. A three-judge panel of the same court reversed the stay last August, leaving the law unenforceable. Then, in June of this year, three judges of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on the appeal that the law in fact violates the Second Amendment. That was followed on August 14 by a court mandate putting the decision into effect and making the one-gun-a-month law so much wasted ink in the state's list of statutes. No Real Historical PrecedentFor the court in the June decision, Judge Danielle J. Forrest points out that California "contends that the one-gun-a-month law is consistent with the strong tradition of restricting dangerous individuals from acquiring firearms." She notes later that "California acknowledges, as it must, that not all Californians are dangerous" but that "California's law primarily impedes nearly all individuals from acquiring multiple firearms." The historical laws that the state cites as precedent for its one-gun-a-month restriction are all more limited in scope than the California law, Forrest emphasized. "Some of the historical regulations prohibited only a specific group considered to be dangerous from acquiring or possessing firearms—laws targeting Indians, foreigners, and the intoxicated." The historical law that came closest to the California law, according to the court, was a Virginia restriction on the "carrying of more than one gun and ten charges of powder when traveling near any Native town or more than three miles away from an English plantation." But that law restricted only the number of guns that could be carried, not acquired. It was also in effect for just a few years, over a century before the founding of the United States. "By the founding era, the historical record suggests that it was common for Americans to 'carry two, four, or even six single shot pistols on their belt' and that 'pistols were often sold . . . in pairs.'" You Can't Ration RightsImportantly, the court was unimpressed by efforts to ration the use of constitutionally protected rights: We are not aware of any circumstance where government may temporally meter the exercise of constitutional rights in this manner. And we doubt anyone would think government could limit citizens' free-speech right to one protest a month, their free-exercise right to one worship service per month, or their right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures to apply only to one search or arrest per month. The court concluded that "the Second Amendment expressly protects the right to possess multiple arms. It also protects against meaningful constraints on the right to acquire arms because otherwise the right to 'keep and bear' would be hollow." The law runs afoul of such considerations. The June decision made it clear California's law couldn't pass constitutional muster. Last week's mandate put the ruling into effect with the end of appeals and hearings, sealing the law's fate. The law's prospects in further litigation certainly looked dim given Supreme Court precedent. More Battles To Come"The decision in Nguyen v. Bonta is both an unusual example of the Ninth Circuit unanimously striking down a gun restriction under the Second Amendment and, potentially, a sign of greater receptiveness to Supreme Court cues at the appellate level," commented Andrew Willinger of the Duke University School of Law and executive director of the Duke Center for Firearms Law. He pointed out, though, that the ruling allowed openings for less restrictive rules, including licensing of purchasers and possibly even a "higher limit than one gun per month." One battle at a time. "California has managed to do what many thought impossible: violate the Second Amendment so blatantly that even the Ninth Circuit won't uphold it," observed Cody J. Wisniewski, president of the FPC Action Foundation, which participated in the case, referring to the Ninth Circuit's reputation for unfriendliness to self-defense rights. "We are proud to have secured the rights of peaceable people and look forward to many more wins against California's unconstitutional laws." The ruling in Nguyen is an encouraging development for those of us who believe that individual rights and their protection by the Constitution should be taken seriously.

The struggling population of Mazama newts are finding a new home at the High Desert Museum in Bend and the Oregon Zoo in Portland due to their own climate becoming increasingly challenging. The newts, which evolved at Crater Lake, have declined rapidly due to the explosion in numbers of invasive crayfish that have taken over the shoreline of the lake and depleted vital food sources for the newt. “There's increasing concern about this species of newt that they're maybe facing extinction because of invasive crawfish," said Jon Nelson, curator of wildlife at the High Desert Museum. "That kind of put a little bit of an impetus on this idea of maybe pursuing some conservation actions.” A Mazama newt at the High Desert Museum in Bend. The newts have rapidly declined due to the explosion in numbers of invasive crayfish at Crater Lake.What is the Mazama newt?The Mazama newt is a subspecies of the more common rough-skinned newt. While the rough-skinned newt has a potent neurotoxin to deter predators, the Mazama newt, adapted at the top of the lake’s food chain, lacks the defensive mechanism. With no way to defend itself from predators, the Mazama newt is vulnerable to the invasive species in the lake, such as the crayfish and the fish, making them an easy target. The crayfish have also taken over the shoreline of the lake and the food that the newt depends on. Legal status of the Mazama newtThe newts have been proposed for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act since 2023. The petition calls on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the newt. It would allow for more funding to go toward crayfish removal and a recovery plan for the newt. A 12-month review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is needed to inform whether the newt being listed under ESA protections is warranted, not warranted or warranted but precluded. There is no update on the listing of the Mazama newt and the findings are past deadline. The Center for Biological Diversity sued the Trump administration for delaying ESA protections on July 3. To preserve the species while scientists continue to study and tackle the crayfish problem, Mazama newts are getting care at the High Desert Museum and the Oregon Zoo. The newts and their care teamIn September, the Oregon Zoo will welcome the Mazama newts to their conservation lab. The Oregon Zoo's first priority is to focus on their care. Once the newts are established, zoo officials hope they will breed and they'll eventually release them back into Crater Lake's waters. “More information is needed on the newt’s life cycle and the invasive crayfish population at Crater Lake,” said Shervin Hess, conservation manager at the Oregon Zoo. “But we do hope to release Mazama newts back into the wild eventually.” In August 2024, the High Desert Museum in Bend took in 20 Mazama newts — marking the newts' first time outside of the crater walls. The first phase of caring for the newts in captivity was determining if they could survive outside Crater Lake and eat commercially available foods. The museum has been developing captive care protocols for the newt and exploring the best methods for caring for them outside their native habitat. “There's so many unknowns about the animal,” Nelson said. While in their care, the museum feeds them crickets, mealworms and dusts the newt with vitamin C — a common care practice for amphibians in captivity. “We're watching these newts to see how they respond to that diet,” Nelson said. “Does it affect their growth rate? Are there any adverse effects from being transitioned to a diet in a captive setting versus what they would eat in the wild?” Out of the 20 newts that arrived, 17 are still alive. The museum lost some newts to latent infections, which are undergoing necropsies at the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. The Mazama newt exhibit at the High Desert Museum in Bend.For the other 17, the High Desert Museum will continue to keep them in care for the rest of their life cycle. For visitors who want to see the newts, five are on display at the museum, accompanied by a graphic explaining the threats the newts face. “If they're anything like rough-skinned newts outside of the park, they're capable of living for quite a while,” Nelson said. The crayfish problemThe signal crayfish were introduced in 1915 as a food source for the non-native fish that had been introduced years prior in the late 1800s for recreational purposes. The crayfish population has rapidly exploded within Crater Lake, preying on the newt, competing for food sources and undermining its chances for survival. Climate change has led to warmer waters within the lake, which allows for more crayfish to survive and spread around the surface. Rangers at the national park have attempted to remove the crayfish from the water, but the crayfish have proven persistent. The signal crayfish that is found in Crater Lake.The crayfish have taken over 95% of the lake's shoreline, leaving 5% available for the newt, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. The crayfish also have the ability to threaten the visibility of the nation's deepest lake. Because the crayfish eats the native plankton-consuming invertebrates, this contributes to more algae growth on the rocky shoreline. However, the National Park Service website says it is unknown whether these changes affect the water clarity that makes Crater Lake so blue. “If the recovery plan is successful, not only will the newt population be restored, but Crater Lake’s imperiled ecosystem will be rejuvenated too,” Hess said.

The family of a teenage girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by 27-year-old Geoffrey Cannon, director of the Oregon Coast Military Museum in Florence, is speaking out, alleging their daughter was a 15-year-old volunteer at the museum when the abuse occurred. "Our child deserved a safe, supportive place to learn and contribute; not to be exploited by someone in power," the teen's mother said in a news release. On July 22, Cannon was indicted by a Lane County grand jury on four counts of second-degree sex abuse for engaging in both oral and sexual intercourse with the teen, a Class C Felony that carries a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison. According to Nicole Revoal, a spokesperson for the victim's family, the teenager was allegedly groomed by Cannon for over a year and was misled about the age of consent. The family also alleges Cannon regularly instructed the teen to keep the relationship a secret. The victim's family also said digital communications being reviewed in court allegedly include references to BDSM, explicit sex acts, and demands of secrecy. Board members talk about caseIn a recording of a board meeting involving the family of the abused teen and leaders at the Oregon Coast Military Museum shared with The Register-Guard, a board member said the teenager is not innocent and is "not a little girl." "I think your daughter could be a promiscuous little slut and you don't know it," the board member said. "And I think you need to get a real handle on that. Think about a young girl that knows how to manipulate men with sex and has done it before." Gary Cannon, Geoffrey's father, is president of the museum's board. He is also a decorated Vietnam War veteran and retired teacher. During the meeting, he said the victim "knew what she was doing." The victim's family and local advocates condemned the remarks as inappropriate and indicative of a broader failure of institutional accountability on the museum's behalf. Locals are now calling on the museum to immediately remove Cannon from his leadership role, conduct an independent review of the museum's board and leadership conduct, as well as provide stronger safeguards for youth volunteers working at nonprofits across Oregon. "The museum's failure to act decisively, and the board's victim-blaming remarks, have only deepened our pain. No other young person should be put at risk under the guise of mentorship or service," the victim's family said in a statement. Representatives from the Oregon Coast Military Museum declined to comment for this story. In a July 15 post to social media, the museum said the news was received as a great shock to museum staff. "We would ask our community to please withhold judgment until the case runs its course," the social media post said. "We want to assure everyone that the Museum is continuing to operate every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m." According to court documents, Cannon was released from custody at the Lane County Jail on July 11 and placed under an electronic monitoring program. He was ordered not to have contact with any person under the age of 18 and not to have any offensive contact, including engaging in physical, sexual or psychological abuse, with another person. He has a pre-trial hearing scheduled for Oct. 15. Haleigh Kochanski is a breaking news and public safety reporter for The Register-Guard. You may reach her at [email protected].

President Donald Trump has taken aim at MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace in a bizarre social media rant. The drama started when 79-year-old Trump kicked off his Sunday morning with a cryptic post on Truth Social. “Bela,” he wrote, leaving his followers to debate the meaning of the word. In a reply, one user posted a doctored photo of Wallace with a “Karen” haircut and a red nose alongside the text, “Typhoid Mary Nicole Wallace,” “Clown news,” and “Nicole Wallace is afraid of losing her job. Get her a Waaambulance.” A fake news ticker showed the MSNBC logo alongside the word “misinformation.” Trump responded to a post about Wallace after a chain of posts attacking the media. / Truth SocialWallace, who now hosts Deadline: White House on MSNBC, was former White House communications director under President George W. Bush. “She is a loser, with bad ratings, who was already thrown off of The View,” Trump replied on Sunday. “She will be fired soon! MSNBC IS DEAD!” The post came after the president shared his disdain for members of the media after he met with President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, where he failed to secure a ceasefire. The president dubbed MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace a Before the meeting on Friday, Trump firmly stated that Putin could expect “severe consequences” if he didn’t agree to end the fighting in Ukraine. But the president has since changed his tune, saying achieving peace will require territorial concessions from Ukraine. He is slated to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday. “It’s incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me,” he raged. “There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me. I had a great meeting in Alaska on Biden’s stupid War, a war that should have never happened!!!” In a second post, Trump added, “If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal. That’s why they are the FAKE NEWS!” View the full article

Apple vốn dĩ không thích các vụ rò rỉ. Vụ kiện chống lại Jon Prosser của FPT — người bị "gã khổng lồ" công nghệ cáo buộc đã tiếp cận một nguyên mẫu iPhone 17 do nhân viên Apple sở hữu — đã cho thấy điều đó rõ ràng. Apple HomePod mini, ra mắt năm 2020. Ảnh: Apple Và trớ trêu thay, chính Apple vừa vô tình làm rò rỉ một loạt sản phẩm mới. Các thiết bị tương lai Apple chưa công bố Theo báo cáo, Apple đã sơ suất để lộ đoạn mã phần mềm dùng để nhận diện phần cứng, trong đó hé lộ nhiều sản phẩm chưa từng công bố. Quên iPhone 17 Pro Max đi, ‘quân bài đặc biệt’ này mới là thứ đáng để đợi Một trong những sản phẩm đó là HomePod mini mới, có tên mã B525. Điều này hoàn toàn khớp vì HomePod mini hiện tại có tên mã B520. HomePod mini mới sẽ dùng cùng vi kiến trúc T8310 đang được triển khai trên Apple Watch. Apple Watch Series 9 và Series 10 đều dùng kiến trúc T8310. Nó cũng được kỳ vọng sẽ xuất hiện trong chip S11 dành cho Apple Watch Series 11 sẽ ra mắt tháng tới. Điều này đồng nghĩa một con chip mới sẽ thay thế chip dòng S5 vốn dùng trong HomePod mini đời đầu (ra mắt năm 2020). Chip mới này được cho là có CPU 64-bit hai lõi dựa trên A16, cùng Neural Engine bốn lõi, một tính năng mà HomePod mini hiện tại chưa có. HomePod mini 2 có thể ra mắt bất cứ lúc nào từ tháng sau đến cuối năm 2025. Apple TV mới với chip A17 Pro Một trong những thiết bị khác bị rò rỉ là Apple TV mới, được trang bị chip A17 Pro — cùng loại đang chạy trên iPhone 15 Pro và iPhone 15 Pro Max. Đây là một bước tiến lớn so với A15 Bionic trong Apple TV hiện nay. Chipset mới sẽ mang lại khả năng hỗ trợ Apple Intelligence cho Apple TV và cho phép thiết bị chạy các trò chơi đồ họa console-tier. Apple cũng được cho là đang thử nghiệm chip Bluetooth/Wi-Fi riêng để dùng cho sản phẩm này. Apple TV mới có thể ra mắt ngay tháng tới, hoặc ít nhất cũng trong năm nay. iPad mini mới với chip A19 Pro Một sản phẩm khác bị Apple để lộ là iPad mini mới (tên mã J510/J511). Thiết bị này được kỳ vọng sẽ dùng chip A19 Pro — cũng chính là con chip sẽ có trên iPhone 17 Pro và iPhone 17 Pro Max sắp tới. Mẫu iPad mini gần nhất ra mắt vào tháng 10 năm ngoái, chạy chip A17 Pro. Apple được cho là đang phát triển một phiên bản iPad mini màn OLED cho năm 2026 hoặc 2027, và có khả năng đây chính là mẫu vừa bị lộ. Chip A19 Pro dự kiến có nhiều nhân GPU hơn A19 SoC. Một phiên bản chip với ít hơn một nhân GPU có thể sẽ được dùng trên iPhone 17 Air siêu mỏng sắp ra mắt. Việc phân loại chip theo mức độ hoàn thiện cho phép Apple không phải bỏ đi các chip sản xuất chưa hoàn hảo. iPhone 17 Pro Max sẽ ‘độc quyền’ tính năng camera cao cấp nhất iPad giá rẻ mới Một mẫu iPad phổ thông mới (tên mã J581/J582) cũng bị rò rỉ. Thiết bị này sẽ nâng cấp chip từ A16 lên A18. Dự kiến ra mắt mùa xuân năm sau, mẫu iPad giá rẻ mới sẽ hỗ trợ Apple Intelligence và có Neural Engine 16 lõi. Tuy chipset mới mạnh mẽ hơn, nhưng thiết kế bên ngoài của iPad phổ thông sẽ vẫn được giữ nguyên. Vision Pro 2 và loạt Apple Watch mới Rò rỉ cũng tiết lộ loạt Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, và Watch SE 3. Tất cả sẽ chạy trên chip S11 SiP, sử dụng cùng kiến trúc T8310 như S9 và S10. Chip mới có thể sở hữu 2 lõi hiệu năng, CPU 64-bit hai lõi, và Neural Engine 4 lõi. Ngoài Apple Watch mới, thông tin rò rỉ còn có Vision Pro 2 – dùng chip M5, thay thế cho M2 trên phiên bản đầu tiên. Có thể ra mắt vào cuối năm 2025. Và Apple Studio Display 2 – có khả năng được trang bị đèn nền mini-LED, có thể ra mắt vào đầu năm sau. (Theo PhoneArena, 9to5mac) iPhone 17 Pro Max hé lộ 2 chi tiết đặc biệt quan trọngThiết kế khung mới, bố cục pin và cách sắp xếp linh kiện bên trong của iPhone 17 Pro Max vừa được cho là đã bị rò rỉ.
