    另有两名男子因本月早些时候一起涉嫌袭击白宫UFC赛事的阴谋面临联邦指控。
    根据法庭文件,其中一名被告曾讨论改装搭载爆炸物的无人机,并声称可同时操控40余架无人机。
    另一名嫌疑人告诉调查人员,他感觉自己通过提供武器给所谓的团伙头目,相当于武装了一名恐怖分子。

    另有两人因涉嫌本月早些时候袭击白宫UFC赛事的阴谋被起诉,这为美国司法部认定该团伙在策划未遂袭击方面的准备程度提供了新细节。

    根据一份新的刑事起诉书,其中一名于周日在密苏里州母亲家中被捕的男子告诉警方,他感觉自己“武装了一名恐怖分子”。

    这名男子名叫乔丹·林克(Jordan Rincker),据称他向案件中的另一名被告提供了一把枪支,以换取金钱、一台电脑和一台3D打印机,用于帮助制造搭载爆炸物的无人机。

    根据起诉书,林克告诉执法人员,他一直在欺骗该团伙,他不会制造无人机,也没有爆炸物。

    另一份于周一公布的刑事起诉书显示,威廉·李·斯巴达克斯·福克纳(William Lee Spartacus Falkner)曾在与其他几名被告的群聊中详细讨论如何改装搭载爆炸物的无人机、哪种爆炸物最能造成最大破坏,以及他们该如何购买无人机和其他零部件。

    美国司法部表示,福克纳和林克均于周一首次在联邦法院出庭。CNN已联系两人的律师。

    起诉书显示,6月初,该团伙中有人警告称,距离UFC赛事还有一周时间,需要准备好无人机,并补充道“这将会是一场该死的大屠杀(爱心表情)”,福克纳回复称目前已有5架无人机。

    “如果想把事情做好,每架无人机的成本在200至300美元之间,”福克纳据称告诉团伙成员,并补充道他们应该购买无法被执法部门远程干扰、且可承载“至少12磅”重量的特定型号无人机。

    起诉书中引用了福克纳据称发出的信息,内容包括他一人即可同时操控40余架无人机,以及他们该使用何种爆炸物以造成最大破坏,但并未提及福克纳是否拥有无人机或爆炸物。

    上周联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔(Kash Patel)首次报道并公布了该阴谋案的首批逮捕行动,据起诉书称,福克纳随后在Instagram上发送了一条消息。

    “工作行程取消了,我的老板被抓了,”福克纳写道,并附上了一篇关于此次逮捕的新闻文章。

    “我发给你的这篇文章提到了所有人的参与,但没提我和你已经认识的那些人,”福克纳补充道,“因为我们做了防范措施。顺便说一句,我的手机已经越狱了。”

    根据起诉书,福克纳还写道,“我们一开始就不信任我的老板能把这件事做好”,并且“我们都觉得哪里出了问题”。

    福克纳据称还表示自己“仍在被付钱”。

    起诉书称,在UFC赛事举办前几天,另一名被告、该团伙所谓头目亚伯拉罕·阿尔瓦雷斯(Abraham Alvarez)将林克加入了一个私人聊天群,该群讨论了使用搭载爆炸物的无人机和狙击手袭击UFC赛事的计划。

    阿尔瓦雷斯在群中介绍林克为“我们的制造商”,林克本人也表示他可以帮助制造搭载爆炸物的小型无人机。

    根据起诉书,阿尔瓦雷斯给了林克一台3D打印机、盾牌、夜视仪、1000多美元现金和一台Mac迷你电脑。

    林克后来告诉阿尔瓦雷斯,他找到了爆炸物,并向阿尔瓦雷斯发送了3D打印机的照片,称其“运转起来简直棒极了,兄弟”。林克还据称向其他人分享了阿尔瓦雷斯计划在7月初袭击密苏里州一场国际足联世界杯赛事的所谓密谋方案,执法部门认为该方案属实。

    林克告诉探员,他清楚他们为何找上自己,他没有爆炸物,只是因为想帮朋友才开车去见阿尔瓦雷斯。

    “他说出自己的意图时,我就该抽身而退,我真是个白痴。但你们都清楚情况,”他对调查人员说道,根据起诉书。他还据称表示,自己将猎枪交给阿尔瓦雷斯,相当于“武装了一名恐怖分子”。

    起诉书还称,当被问及向团伙提出使用聚氯乙烯(PVC)管制造无人机的想法时,林克表示“我只是随口胡诌些点子,让他们以为我真的在造无人机”,他本打算私吞这笔钱,留下那台打印机。

    “林克称,阿尔瓦雷斯给他3D打印机是为了制造无人机,”起诉书中写道,“他不清楚阿尔瓦雷斯是否想让他在无人机上装载爆炸物,但‘从目前的情况来看,这很可能就是方向’。”

    Justice Department charges two more in alleged plot to attack White House UFC event

    2026-06-22T21:41:23.486Z / CNN

    Two additional men face federal charges in an alleged plot to attack a UFC event at the White House earlier this month.
    One defendant allegedly discussed rigging drones with explosives and controlling over 40 drones at once, according to court complaints.
    Another suspect told investigators he felt he had armed a terrorist by providing a firearm to the alleged group leader.

    AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

    Two more men have been charged in the alleged plot to attack the UFC White House fight earlier this month, providing new insight on how far in preparation the Justice Department believes the group came in carrying out the would-be attack.

    One man, who was arrested Sunday at his mother’s home in Missouri, told officers he felt he had “armed a terrorist,” according to a new criminal complaint.

    The man, Jordan Rincker, allegedly gave another defendant in the case a firearm in exchange for money, a computer and a 3D printer to help build drones rigged with explosives.

    Rincker, according to the complaint, told law enforcement he had been lying to the group and didn’t know how to build drones and had no explosives.

    Another man whose criminal complaint was released Monday, William Lee Spartacus Falkner, spoke at length in a group chat with several other defendants about how he could rig drones with explosives, which explosives would be best to cause maximum damage, and how they could purchase the drones and other parts.

    Both Falkner and Rincker made their initial appearances in federal court Monday, according to the Justice Department. CNN has reached out to their attorneys.

    In early June, when one person from the group warned they had a week before the UFC fight to get drones – adding that, “It’s gonna be a f*cking bloodbath (heartface emoji)” – Falkner replied they had five drones so far, according to the complaint.

    “We’re looking at 200-300$/drone if you want this done right,” Falkner allegedly told one of the groups, adding that they should purchase specific drones that can’t be remotely jammed by law enforcement and can carry “at least 12 pounds.”

    The complaint quotes messages allegedly from Falkner discussing how he alone could control over 40 drones at a time and what explosives they should use for maximum damage but does not say if Falkner had any drones or explosives in his possession.

    When news of the first spate of arrests over the alleged plot were first reported and announced by FBI Director Kash Patel last week, Falkner allegedly sent a message over Instagram.

    “Work trip is canceled. My boss got picked up,” Falkner wrote, with a news article on the arrests attached, the complaint says.

    “In the article I sent you it mentions the involvement of everyone but me and the people you already know,” Falkner allegedly added. “Because we took precautions. My phone is jailbroken btw.”

    According to the complaint, Falkner also wrote that “we didn’t trust my boss to do this right going into everything” and that “we all felt something was going wrong.”

    Falkner allegedly said he was “still being paid.”

    In the days leading up to the UFC event, Rincker was added to a private chat – discussing plans to attack the UFC fight using drones rigged with explosives and snipers – by another defendant and alleged leader of the group, Abraham Alvarez, the complaint says.

    Alvarez introduced Rincker in the group as “our manufacturer” and Rincker himself said he could help make small drones rigged with explosives, according to the complaint.

    Alvarez gave Rincker a 3D printer, shield, night vision goggles, over $1,000, and a Mac minicomputer, according to the complaint.

    Rincker later told Alvarez he found explosives and sent pictures of the 3D printer to Alvarez, adding that it was working “like a damn champ brother.” Rincker also allegedly shared with others what law enforcement believes was a proposed plot by Alvarez to attack a FIFA World Cup game in Missouri in early July.

    Rincker told the agents he knew why they were there, that he had no explosives, and had only drove to meet Alvarez because he wanted a friend.

    “I’m a real idiot for not stepping aside the moment he said what he wanted. But it’s what you guys know,” he told investigators, according to the complaint. He also allegedly said he “armed a terrorist” by giving his shotgun to Alvarez.

    Rincker also said, according to the complaint, when asked about his idea to the group of using PVC pipe in building drones, that he “was just giving them bullsh*t ideas to make them think I was building a drone” and planned to just pocket the money and keep the printer.

    “Rincker stated that Alvarez gave him the 3D printer to make drones,” the complaint states, “and that he didn’t know if Alvarez wanted him to load the drones with explosives, but ‘from the sounds of everything, that’s probably where this [was] leaning.’”

    据了解案情的调查人员透露,调查人员认为,南希·加思里失踪数天后寄给其家人的两封赎金纸条——其中一封声称她已死亡——很可能是绑架她的个人或团伙所写。调查人员认为,两封纸条均为同一人或同一伙人所寄,且很可能来自同一个电脑IP地址。

    第一封纸条索要数百万比特币以换取南希·加思里的获释。几天后寄出的第二封纸条中,疑似绑匪透露南希·加思里已经死亡。据看过纸条的消息人士透露,纸条表明绑匪并非有意导致她死亡。

    她的女儿、《今日秀》联合主持人萨凡纳·加思里今年3月在接受NBC采访时表示,其家人认为这两封纸条是真实的。

    “我认为有很多不同的纸条被寄来,而且据我所知,大多数都不是真的,我也没见过那些纸条,”她说。“但我相信我们收到的、我们也做出了回应的那两封,我倾向于认为它们是真实的。”

    第一封纸条于2月2日寄出,也就是84岁的南希·加思里在亚利桑那州图森市的家中被报失踪的第二天。纸条通过在线爆料渠道寄给了三家媒体机构——两家本地新闻电视台和TMZ。据调查人员透露,纸条中包含了关于加思里住宅的极其具体的细节,包括卧室地板上有一块白色表带的苹果手表,以及她的后门廊灯坏了。多位熟悉该纸条的消息人士表示,纸条是寄给萨凡纳·加思里的。

    据看过两封纸条的消息人士透露,第二封纸条于2月6日寄出,语言和风格与第一封相似,但未提出任何赎金要求。

    萨凡纳·加思里和她的兄弟姐妹在第二封纸条寄出后,通过Instagram发布的一段视频公开喊话绑架他们母亲的人。

    “我们收到了你的信息,我们明白,”萨凡纳·加思里在视频中说。“我们现在恳求你把我们的母亲还给我们,这样我们就能和她一起庆祝。这是我们获得平静的唯一途径……这对我们来说非常宝贵,我们会付钱的。”

    由联邦调查局和皮马县侦探组成的专案组仍在继续调查这起绑架案,搜寻加思里及其绑匪的下落。

    Authorities believe two ransom notes addressed to Nancy Guthrie’s family days after her disappearance — including a note that said she had died — were likely sent by the person or group of people who abducted her, according to investigators familiar with the case. Investigators believe the same person or people sent both notes and that both were likely sent from the same computer IP address.

    The first note demanded millions in bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie’s release. In the second note, sent a few days later, the apparent abductors revealed that Nancy Guthrie had died. The note indicated that they did not mean for her to die, according to sources who reviewed the notes.

    Her daughter, “Today” show co-hostSavannah Guthrie, said in an interview with NBC in March that the family believes the two notes are authentic.

    “There are a lot of different notes, I think, that came, and I think most of them — it’s my understanding — are not real, and I didn’t see them,” she said. “But I believe the two notes that we received, that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real.”

    The first note, sent on Feb. 2, one day after Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, was sent to three media outlets — two local news stations and TMZ — via their online tiplines. That note gave highly specific details about Guthrie’s home, including that an Apple Watch with a white band was on the floor of her bedroom and that her back porch light was broken, according to investigators. The note was addressed to Savannah Guthrie, according to multiple sources familiar with the note.

    The second note was sent on Feb. 6 and was similar in language and style but did not make any demands, according to sources who reviewed both notes.

    Savannah Guthrie and her siblings publicly addressed their mother’s kidnappers in an Instagram video posted after the second note was sent.

    “We received your message and we understand,” Savannah Guthrie said in the video. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. … This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

    The task force made up of FBI and Pima County detectives continues to investigate her kidnapping and search for Guthrie and her abductors.

    以色列总理内坦亚胡、国防部长卡茨、国防军总参谋长扎米尔三人发表联合声明,再次表明以军将继续在黎巴嫩南部开展军事行动以应对“安全威胁”,同时维持以方在黎南部控制的“安全区”。

    路透社报道,内坦亚胡、卡茨和扎米尔星期一(6月22日)在一场安全会议后发表联合声明说,以色列军方将继续采取行动,以“消除”针对以色列士兵和公民的威胁,摧毁武装分子的基础设施,并维护黎巴嫩南部的安全区。

    声明补充说,这三名高层“明确表明保障以色列公民和国防军的安全,始终是他们绝不妥协的指导原则”。

    以总理办公室也发表声明说,三人与以军北方司令部指挥官召开会议,评估北部战线安全形势,以军将继续“坚定不移”地采取行动,摧毁相关军事基础设施、消除威胁。

    另据新华社报道,内坦亚胡当天早些时候说,以军在黎南部拥有“充分行动自由”,以方将继续在黎南部“安全区”驻留,直至相关安全需求得到满足。

    美国和伊朗代表团上星期天(21日)在瑞士比尔根山举行谈判,这是美伊签署谅解备忘录后的首轮会谈。伊朗一直将黎巴嫩问题与谈判紧密捆绑。

    在美伊上周公布的谅解备忘录正式文本中,第一条就是要求立即并永久停止包括黎巴嫩在内的所有战线的军事行动,同时要求确保黎巴嫩领土完整与主权。

    [1/4]2026年6月21日,美国华盛顿特区,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普下令在美国独立250周年纪念日前将倒影池刷成蓝色,近期翻新工程完成后,工人正在林肯纪念堂倒影池中抽吸藻类。路透社/亚伦·施瓦茨 摄 购买授权图片,请点击新标签页

    摘要

    • 华盛顿特区水务局再次签发倒影池排空许可
    • 特朗普在无证据情况下称破坏者造成损坏,威胁将涉事者处以监禁
    • 1470万美元联邦翻新工程完工数周后,出现漆面剥落与藻类爆发
    • 承包公司表示将凭保修协议修复水池

    华盛顿6月22日路透电 — 华盛顿国家广场的林肯纪念堂倒影池将再次排空维修,该水池在耗资1470万美元的翻新工程完工数周后出现藻类与漆面剥落问题。与此同时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普威胁将对任何破坏该水池的人处以监禁。

    华盛顿特区水务局周一表示,已签发许可,允许对这座长2000英尺(约合609米)的长方形水池进行排空作业,而维修承包公司表示将根据保修协议对水池进行修复。

    路透社《内幕追踪》新闻简报是您观看世界杯期间的必备指南,点击此处订阅。

    美国国家公园管理局未立即回复置评请求。

    特朗普6月6日宣布该翻新工程完工后不久,水池中就出现了漆面剥落与藻类滋生的情况。外界对这项未经过招标的翻新合同提出了担忧,该合同旨在在下个月美国建国250周年庆祝活动前为水池重新涂装,同时也引发了对依赖水池水体生存的鸭子的担忧。

    本周早些时候,美国国家公园管理局的工作人员已经向水池中投放过氧化氢以抑制藻类生长。

    特朗普在没有证据的情况下,将这处历史地标出现的问题归咎于破坏者。周一,他呼应了美国检察官珍妮娜·皮尔罗周末的威胁,称将起诉任何被指控试图破坏水池的人。

    “请记住,破坏此类设施——甚至仅是试图破坏——将面临10年监禁,这一规定将得到严格执行!”特朗普在社交媒体帖子中写道。

    破坏联邦财产最高可判处10年监禁。

    据媒体援引一名政府官员的消息报道,目前已有至少五人被捕,其中包括一名公开否认指控的前奥运选手,另有五人收到了传票。美国公园警察未立即回复置评请求。

    负责此次翻新工程的公司是总部位于弗吉尼亚州的大西洋工业涂料公司,该公司周日表示,需要维修的区域仅占这个占地7英亩(约合2.83公顷)大型项目的“极小一部分”,并不表明池衬出现了故障。

    Washington’s Reflecting Pool to be drained again after makeover leads to algae, peeling paint

    Summary

    DC Water issues permit to drain historic landmark, again
    Trump, without evidence, says vandals caused damage, threatens jail time
    Peeling ​paint, algae blooms appear weeks after $14.7 million federal renovation
    Company says it will repair ‌pool under warranty

    WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) – The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Washington’s National Mall is set to be drained again for repairs after algae and peeling paint appeared just weeks after a $14.7 million renovation, while ​President Donald Trump threatened prison time for anyone caught damaging the pool.

    The DC ​Water authority issued a permit to drain the 2,000-foot-long (609-meter) rectangular pool, it ⁠said Monday, while the repair company said it would fix the pool as part ​of its warranty.

    The National Park Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Peeling paint ​and algae growth have been visible in the pool since soon after Trump declared the renovation project complete on June 6. Concerns have been raised about the no-bid contract to recoat the pool before the nation’s 250th ​anniversary celebrations next month, as well as for the ducks that use its water.

    Workers ​from the National Park Service earlier this week poured hydrogen peroxide into the pool to combat the ‌algae.

    Trump, without ⁠evidence, has blamed vandals for the state of the landmark. On Monday, he echoed a weekend threat by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to prosecute people accused of attempting to destroy the pool.

    “Please remember that there is a 10-year prison sentence for the destruction, or even the ​attempted destruction, of such ​things – Which will ⁠be fully enforced!” Trump wrote in a social media post.

    Destruction of federal property can carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

    At least ​five people have been arrested, including a former Olympian who publicly ​denied the ⁠charges, while five others were issued citations, according to media reports citing an administration official. The U.S. Park Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    The company responsible for ⁠the ​renovation work, Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings, said on Sunday ​the areas that required repairs made up “a very small part of the massive 7-acre (2.83-hectare) project, and do not indicate ​a failure of the liner.”

  • 沃尔什将重演格林斯潘的行事风格


    2026-06-22 17:37:36 / 路透社

    华盛顿6月22日电(路透社)——已故前美国联邦储备委员会主席艾伦·格林斯潘作为央行行长最显著的特质,以及后来被证明是他最大盲点的决策逻辑,即将在新任主席凯文·沃尔什的任上重演。

    正如这位周一去世、且沃尔什在一个月前的白宫就职仪式上四次提及的“大师”一样,沃尔什不愿过多表态,而是信任金融市场能够自行理清局势。

    通过《晨间竞标:美国市场》通讯了解美国及全球市场当日前瞻。点击此处订阅。

    这套行事逻辑帮助格林斯潘在担任美联储主席的18年多时间里,维持了大部分时期的温和通胀与稳定增长,这一时期也被称为“大缓和”时代。

    但这也让他忽视了房地产泡沫的迹象,理由是最顶尖金融机构的精英人士不会系统性地错误定价资产或忽视系统性风险。格林斯潘卸任后不久,一场起源于美国次级抵押贷款市场的危机席卷了全球金融体系,随后他在国会听证会上承认,自己关于理性有效市场的思维存在“缺陷”。

    布鲁金斯学会高级研究员唐纳德·科恩曾是格林斯潘时期的美联储核心幕僚,后来升任美联储副主席,他在周一发表的悼念文章中写道,享年100岁的格林斯潘因帕金森病并发症在家中去世,他“能够从往往晦涩的零散数据中发掘洞见,偶尔还能以精妙的方式将这些数据串联起来,令人折服又捉摸不透”。

    但科恩指出,尽管注意到部分地区房价快速上涨,格林斯潘“怀疑这些市场会出现全国性泡沫,因此他并未利用自己的话语权或银行监管权预先构建抗风险能力”。

    危机过后,预防性监管成为主流,多德-弗兰克改革法案要求银行建立更高的资本缓冲、制定恢复与处置计划,并在美联储和联邦政府更严格的监管下采取其他措施,确保任何银行都不会被认为“大而不能倒”,进而迫使未来纳税人出手救助。

    如今,美联储负责监管的副主席米歇尔·鲍曼正在放松部分监管要求,而沃尔什也曾表示,他的目标之一就是缩小美联储的干预范围。

    “摘掉眼罩”

    沃尔什将格林斯潘视为其担任主席一职的核心影响者,在5月22日的就职仪式上多次向其致敬,并将自己关于经济以及美联储恰当角色的标志性观点,与格林斯潘的知名立场联系起来。

    其中包括大幅缩减央行行长对于 inherently uncertain future 的谈论幅度、频率和具体程度。格林斯潘曾以不表态、甚至晦涩难懂为荣,以此获得更自由的空间来应对新动态,而沃尔什则表示,美联储当前凡事都要解释清楚的倾向,可能会束缚政策制定者的手脚。

    美联储新任主席上任后的首份政策声明于上周发布,恢复了简洁的格式,并删除了关于政策未来路径的明确指引。

    但在关键时刻,沃尔什也愿意就未来发表看法。在就职前的几个月里,他曾指出,格林斯潘在1990年代中期准确预判到生产率上升将有助于缓解通胀,并反对当时同僚中越来越多的加息呼声。

    沃尔什表示,目前人工智能技术的普及可能正在催生类似的局面,他已在就职主席之初设立的五个专项工作组中,指派了一个负责研究生产率问题。

    沃尔什表示,他希望推行的这些及其他改革,都围绕着一个格林斯潘大概率会认可的理念:美联储不应假装自己是市场上唯一的参与者,而应将自身角色限定在最狭窄的范围内,让家庭、企业和投资者自行解决其余问题。

    在缩减2007-2009年危机后出台的各项措施时,比如美联储庞大的资产负债表和扩张的沟通政策,沃尔什现在必须决定,在格林斯潘本人承认自己出错的领域,他的改革力度该有多大。

    在首场新闻发布会上,沃尔什表示,至少在初期,最好是美联储对市场做出反应,而非市场对过于健谈的美联储做出反应。

    “金融市场在对 incoming data 做出反应时表现最佳。我认为,当金融市场总在问‘美联储会如何应对这些新信息?’时,市场的运行效率会更低。”沃尔什说,“当所有金融市场都只是在反射我们的言论时,我们就会错失最重要的信息来源。我希望我们能建立一个摘掉眼罩的体系,让市场追随它们认为可靠的有效数据。”

    Greenspan playbook to get a replay under Warsh

    2026-06-22 17:37:36 / Reuters

    WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) – Some of the late former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan’s most noted attributes as a central banker as well as what proved his greatest blind spot are about to get a replay under new Chairman Kevin Warsh.

    Like “the maestro” — who died on Monday and whom Warsh cited four times during his White House swearing-in ceremony exactly one month ago — Warsh is reluctant to say too much while trusting financial markets to figure things out on their own.

    Get a look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets with the Morning Bid U.S. newsletter. Sign up here.

    It was a recipe that helped sustain tame inflation and steady growth for most of Greenspan’s more than 18 years as head of the U.S. central bank, so much so the era was dubbed the “Great Moderation.”

    But it also led him to downplay signs of a housing bubble on grounds that the smartest people at the richest financial institutions would not systemically misprice assets or overlook systemic risks. A crisis with roots in the U.S. subprime mortgage market overwhelmed the global financial system shortly after Greenspan left office, and led him to acknowledge in congressional hearings “a flaw” in his thinking about rational and efficient markets.

    Greenspan, who died at his home from complications of Parkinson’s disease at age 100, “could dazzle and puzzle” by “finding insight in often obscure pieces of data, occasionally combining these series in wondrous ways,” Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Donald Kohn, a top Fed staffer under Greenspan and eventual Fed vice chair, wrote

    in an appreciation
    published on Monday.

    But despite noting the fast rise in some local housing prices, Kohn noted, Greenspan “doubted a national bubble across these markets, and he did little with his soapbox or powers over bank regulation to preemptively build resilience.”

    Preemptive regulation became the order of the day in the wake of the crisis, with the Dodd-Frank slate of reforms forcing banks to build larger capital buffers, create resolution plans, and take other steps under closer Fed and federal government scrutiny so that none would ever be considered so big they could not be allowed to fail — and force future taxpayer bailouts.

    Some of that is now being loosened under Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman, and Warsh has said one of his aims is to pare back the Fed’s imprint.

    ‘BLINDERS COME OFF’

    Warsh has cited Greenspan as a major influence over his approach to the chairman’s job, paying homage to him repeatedly during his May 22 swearing-in, and has related some of his signature views about the economy and the proper role of the Fed to positions Greenspan was noted for.

    Those include a more truncated view of how much, how frequently, and how specifically central bankers should talk about an inherently uncertain future. Greenspan prided himself on being noncommittal, even obscure, as a way to be freer to respond to new developments, and Warsh has said he feels the Fed’s current inclination to explain itself risks tying the hands of policymakers.

    The first policy statement under the Fed’s new chairman, issued last week, returned to a shorter format and stripped out explicit guidance about the future path of policy.

    Yet he has also been willing to talk about the future when it matters, and in the months prior to his swearing-in noted how Greenspan in the mid-1990s pinpointed that rising productivity would help ease inflation — and argued against rate hikes that were gathering support among his colleagues.

    Warsh says a similar dynamic may be developing now due to the spread of artificial intelligence technologies, and has assigned a study of productivity to one of the five task forces he has appointed at the outset of his chairmanship.

    Those and other reforms Warsh says he wants to pursue are organized around an idea Greenspan would likely endorse: that the central bank shouldn’t posture as the only player in town, but keep its role as narrow as possible and let households, businesses and investors sort out the rest.

    In dialing back things that grew out of the 2007-2009 crisis, like the Fed’s large balance sheet and its expanded communications policy, Warsh must now decide how far that goes in the one area where Greenspan himself said he got it wrong.

    In his opening press conference, Warsh said that at the outset at least, it’s best if the Fed is reacting to markets rather than markets reacting to an overly chatty Fed.

    “Financial markets perform best when they react to incoming data. I think the financial markets work less efficiently when they ask a question. How will the Federal Reserve react to that incoming information?” Warsh said. “When all the financial markets are doing is reflecting back what we’ve said, then we’re taking the most important source of information and we’re being blind to it. I’d like us to create a system where those blinders come off, where markets are following data that they efficiently think is reliable.”

    June 22 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Monday proposed looser rules for oil and gas drilling operations on federal ​lands, including a dramatic cut to clean-up costs ‌for abandoned wells.

    The moves are aligned with President Donald Trump’s goal to reduce regulations for businesses and make it easier to ​invest in production of domestic fossil fuels.

    The Department of the Interior said it would lower the cost of statewide bonds for wells ​to $25,000 per state from $500,000, a level implemented during the Biden ​era.

    Bonds cover the costs of plugging abandoned oil and gas wells ‌if ⁠an oil and gas company goes out of business. An analysis by non-profit Resources for the Future in 2021 estimated it costs about $20,000 to plug a ​single oil and ​gas well.

    Interior’s ⁠other proposals include shortening public participation in oil and gas permitting to 10 days ​from 90 days.

    The agency is also proposing ​to ⁠roll back requirements aimed at curtailing methane emissions from oil and gas operations. The changes would cut compliance costs ⁠by ​nearly $17 million a year, Interior said.

    该系统名为“空域、航线与轨迹战略管理系统”(简称SMART),可通过数据分析航空公司排班、天气、机场运力、空域状况及运行限制条件,预测交通流量并在潜在冲突发生前识别出来。

    多家航空公司已就该项目与美国联邦航空局沟通数月,但私下里对该局将如何在冲突发生时决定哪些航班需要调整,以及该系统能否赶在今年秋季前投入使用表示担忧。

    面对持续增长的航空需求、跑道建设、极端天气问题以及空中交通管制员短缺的局面,美国联邦航空局多年来一直难以解决空域拥堵问题。今年4月,该局以拥堵为由,要求芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场的航空公司每日削减300个航班;上周,该局延长了纽瓦克及纽约其他地区机场的航班削减令。

    去年,美国国会拨款125亿美元用于更换过时技术、充实人手不足的空中交通管制塔台。美国运输部还希望再获得100亿美元用于进一步改进。

    空中空间智能公司首席执行官菲利普·巴克恩多夫表示,该系统将采用“经过商业验证的成熟技术,目前已帮助各大航空公司及更广泛的航空社区实现更高效、更可预测的运营”。

    美国运输部长肖恩·达菲表示:“我们必须改变航班管理方式”,并指出该系统“将从根本上重塑空域管理模式——在此过程中大幅减少数千起航班延误和取消事件”。

    美国航空业主要贸易组织美国航空业协会表示,该项目将“在维持我们安全金标准的同时,让空中交通更高效、更准时”。

    该协会表示,该项目将为航空公司提供“更高效的航线规划以及关于系统运力的更可预测信息,从而实现运力与需求的平衡”。

    WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday that it has awarded an $875 million, 12-year contract to Air Space Intelligence to overhaul U.S. flight scheduling ​to improve how flights are managed.

    The FAA will use a new system ‌to ensure adequate capacity for air traffic demand and provide data for the management of flights. The system will use data to prevent significant congestion and delays “by strategically coordinating schedules and trajectories ​before aircraft depart,” the FAA added.

    The system, dubbed Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes, ​and Trajectories or SMART, uses data to analyze airline schedules, weather, airport ⁠capacity, airspace conditions and operational constraints to predict traffic flows and identify potential ​conflicts before they occur.

    Airlines have been talking to the FAA for months about the program ​but have expressed concerns privately about how the agency will decide which flights will need to be moved when there are conflicts and whether the system can be rolled out as soon as ​this fall.

    Facing rising demand, runway construction, severe weather issues and air traffic controller shortfalls, ​the FAA has struggled to address congestion issues for years. The agency ordered airlines at Chicago O’Hare ‌in ⁠April to cut 300 daily flights, citing congestion concerns, and last week extended flight cuts at Newark and other New York-area airports.

    Last year, Congress awarded $12.5 billion to replace outdated technology and boost understaffed air traffic control towers. USDOT wants another $10 billion for further improvements.

    Air ​Space Intelligence CEO Phillip ​Buckendorf said the system ⁠will use “commercially proven technology already helping everyone from major airlines to the broader aviation community operate more efficiently and predictably.”

    “We must ​change how flights are managed,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, ​noting that ⁠the system “will fundamentally reshape how the airspace is managed – slashing thousands of delays and cancellations in the process.”

    Airlines for America, the main industry trade group, said the program will “make air ⁠traffic ​more efficient and timely while maintaining our gold standard ​of safety.”

    The group said the program will provide carriers with “more efficient routings and more predictable information about system ​capacity in order to balance capacity and demand.”

  • 天文学家称:掠过地球的星际彗星或为太阳系中迄今观测到的最古老、最冷天体


    2026年6月22日 / 美国东部时间下午1:03 / 哥伦比亚广播公司/法新社

    天文学家周一表示,去年掠过太阳并途经地球的一颗星际彗星,其年龄可能接近太阳系的三倍,且是人类在太阳系后院中见过的前所未有的奇特天体。

    这颗名为3I/ATLAS的彗星,是人类观测到的第三颗来自太阳系之外的访客,它不同寻常的亮度为科学家们提供了前所未有的机会,得以研究来自银河系其他区域的天体。

    这颗太空岩石在去年7月被发现后,在网络上引发了热议,哈佛大学一名知名研究员推测它可能是外星航天器——这一理论遭到了美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的驳斥。

    如今,全球最强大望远镜的观测结果正揭开这颗独特彗星的更多秘密。

    根据周一发表在《自然》期刊上的一项新研究,3I/ATLAS的年龄可达1200万年。而太阳系据信形成于约45亿年前。

    该研究的主要作者、NASA戈达德航天飞行中心的马丁·科丁纳告诉法新社:“它或许是人类在太阳系中观测到的最古老天体。”

    这张由NASA提供的图片,展示了哈勃空间望远镜于2025年11月30日拍摄到的星际彗星3I/ATLAS,当时它距离地球约1.78亿英里。NASA、欧空局、太空望远镜科学研究所、D·朱伊特(加州大学洛杉矶分校)、M.-T. 许(上海天文台)、J·德帕斯夸莱(太空望远镜科学研究所) via 美联社

    不过他补充道,仍存在“极端情况”,可以对这颗彗星不同寻常的化学成分给出其他解释。

    这项新研究基于詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜和智利阿塔卡马大型毫米波/亚毫米波阵列(ALMA)天文台探测到的彗星化学元素比例,即同位素数据。

    研究称,这些测量结果“揭示了与太阳系内任何天体都不同的元素组成”。

    可能是“宇宙正午”时期的遗迹

    研究显示,与太阳系内的彗星相比,3I/ATLAS的氘(一种常见于重水中的氢同位素)含量高出10倍。

    科丁纳解释道:“根据我们对天体化学的理解,如此高浓度的重水,只能在极寒环境中形成。”

    这意味着这颗彗星也可能是太阳系中迄今观测到的最冷天体之一,同位素证据表明它形成于零下243摄氏度的环境中。

    目前仍不清楚这颗彗星在银河系中的具体起源地。

    但研究人员认为,这些星际天体的形成方式与太阳系内的彗星类似——在新行星形成的剧烈过程中被抛射出去。

    科丁纳表示,3I/ATLAS不受任何恒星束缚,可能在数十亿年间“沿着难以想象的广阔轨迹在银河系中运行”。

    科学家们还发现这颗彗星存在一种奇特的化学富集度不足现象,这表明它形成于距离新生恒星相对较近的区域。

    科丁纳称,它甚至可能是被称为“宇宙正午”时代的“遗迹”——在那个时期,约100亿年前大量恒星正在形成。

    此前的两颗星际天体分别是2017年被发现的1I/‘Oumuamua,以及2019年的2I/鲍里索夫,它们的亮度都不足以让科学家收集到同位素证据。

    NASA已发布多张3I/ATLAS的图片,其中一张拍摄于11月,展示了这颗彗星在距离地球约1.8亿英里的太空中运行的状态。

    去年10月,两颗火星轨道器拍摄到了这颗彗星明亮、模糊的白色光点,当时它距离火星约18641135英里,在遥远恒星的背景下缓缓移动。在此前一个月的一张图片中,还能看到3I/ATLAS不断拉长的彗尾划过太阳系。

    哈佛大学教授阿维·勒布此前曾因提出‘Oumuamua可能是外星航天器的观点引发争议,他此次也对3I/ATLAS提出了类似推测。

    勒布在接受CBS波士顿频道采访时表示:“在获得证据和数据、明确它究竟是什么之前,我们应该将所有可能性都摆上台面——它可能是一块岩石、一颗彗星,或是其他什么东西。”

    不过NASA已经驳斥了外星生命相关的可能性。外星智能搜索研究所(SETI)上月表示,并未在这颗彗星上发现“外星技术的证据”。

    “仅仅是个开始”

    多位未参与这项新研究、曾对3I/ATLAS展开研究的天文学家对这项前所未有的研究成果表示赞赏。

    密歇根州立大学的达里尔·塞利格曼告诉法新社:“在获得这些测量数据之前,我们只能想想而已”,不敢奢望能获取星际天体的这类信息。

    他提醒称,这颗彗星的年龄仍存在不确定性,但补充道,“可以肯定的是,它比太阳系中形成的任何天体都要古老”。

    参与在国际天文学联合会小行星中心识别这颗彗星的天文学家彼得·韦雷斯称这项研究“令人兴奋”。

    他告诉法新社:“这颗彗星正在离开太阳系,永远不会返回,因此未来的观测将变得越来越困难。”

    不过天文学家预计,未来几年将发现更多星际天体,尤其是通过智利的薇拉·C·鲁宾天文台。

    科丁纳总结道:“这只是一个令人兴奋的新领域的开端,我们还有很多关于这些天体的知识需要学习——以及它们能为我们揭示银河系的哪些奥秘。”

    Interstellar comet that zoomed past Earth could be oldest and coldest object ever seen in solar system, astronomers say

    June 22, 2026 / 1:03 PM EDT / CBS/AFP

    An interstellar comet that blazed past the sun and swung by Earth last year could be nearly three times older than our solar system and is unlike anything ever before seen in our cosmic backyard, astronomers said Monday.

    The comet 3I/ATLAS is just the third visitor from beyond our solar system that humanity has ever observed, its unusual brightness offering scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study something that came from elsewhere in the galaxy.

    After being spotted in July last year, the space rock prompted excitement online, with one prominent Harvard researcher speculating it could be an alien spacecraft — a theory that NASA shot down.

    Now, observations by the world’s most powerful telescopes are revealing more about the unique comet.

    According to a new study published Monday in the journal Nature, 3I/ATLAS could be up to 12 million years old. Our solar system is believed to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago.

    Lead study author Martin Cordiner of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center told AFP that “maybe it’s the oldest object to have been observed in our solar system.”

    This image, provided by NASA, shows the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas captured by the Hubble Space Telescope on Nov. 30, 2025, about 178 million miles from Earth. NASA, ESA, STScI, D. Jewitt (UCLA), M.-T. Hui (Shanghai Astronomical Observatory), J. DePasquale (STScI) via AP

    However, there could be “edge-case scenarios” that offer other explanations for the comet’s unusual chemical composition, he added.

    The new research is based on the comet’s ratio of chemical elements, called isotopes, detected by the James Webb space telescope and the ALMA observatory in Chile.

    These measurements “reveal an elemental composition unlike any solar system body,” the study said.

    Possible relic from “cosmic noon”

    Compared to comets in our solar system, 3I/ATLAS has 10 times more deuterium, a type of hydrogen commonly seen in heavy water, according to the study.

    “That high abundance of heavy water can only really happen, according to our understanding of astrochemistry, in a very cold environment,” Cordiner explained.

    This means the comet is also likely among the coldest objects ever seen in our solar system, the isotopic evidence suggesting it formed in an environment that was minus 243 degrees Celsius.

    Exactly where this comet came from within the Milky Way remains a mystery.

    But these interstellar objects are thought to form in a similar way to the comets in our Solar System — being flung out during the violent formation of a new planet.

    Untethered to any star, 3I/ATLAS likely spent billions of years on “vast unimaginable trajectories around our galaxy,” Cordiner said.

    The scientists also detected a strange lack of chemical enrichment on the comet, which suggests it formed relatively close to stars being born.

    It could even be a “relic” from an era called “cosmic noon” when many stars were forming around 10 billion years ago, Cordiner said.

    The previous interstellar objects — 1I/’Oumuamua, which was spotted in 2017, followed by 2I/Borisov in 2019 — were not bright enough to gather isotopic evidence.

    NASA has released several images of 3I/Atlas, including one in November showing it move through space about 180 million miles from Earth.

    Last October, images taken by two Mars orbiters showed a bright, fuzzy white dot of the comet, appearing to move against a backdrop of distant stars as it was about 18,641,135 miles away from Mars. The month before that, an image showed the growing tail of 3I/ATLAS streaking across our solar system.

    This image provided by NASA/European Space Agency shows an image captured by Hubble of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on July 21, 2025, when the comet was 277 million miles from Earth. NASA/European Space Agency via AP

    Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who had previously sparked controversy by suggesting ‘Oumuamua could be an alien spacecraft, made similar suggestions about 3I/ATLAS.

    “We should put all possibilities on the table that it’s a rock, a comet, or something else until we get the evidence, the data that will tell us what it is,” Loeb said in an interview with CBS Boston.

    However NASA has dismissed the possibility of alien life. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI) said last month it had found “no evidence of extraterrestrial technology” on the comet.

    “Just the beginning”

    Several astronomers who have studied 3I/ATLAS, but were not involved in the new research, hailed the unprecedented results.

    “Until these measurements we could only really dream about” getting this kind of information for an interstellar object, Darryl Seligman of Michigan State University told AFP.

    He cautioned that the comet’s age remained uncertain, adding it was “a safe bet that it’s older than anything that formed in the solar system.”

    Astronomer Peter Veres, who was involved in identifying the comet at the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center, called the research “exciting.”

    “The comet is now leaving the solar system and will never return, so future observations will become increasingly difficult,” he told AFP.

    However astronomers expect to spot many more interstellar objects in the coming years, particularly via the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile.

    “This is just the beginning of an exciting new field, we’ve got a lot more to learn about these things —and what they can tell us about our galaxy,” Cordiner concluded.

  • 美国法官叫停司法部对明尼苏达州沃尔兹及官员的移民调查

    • 法官撤销司法部对沃尔兹及其他官员的传票
    • 特朗普政府要求获取相关信息,以调查是否存在干扰移民突击行动的行为
    • 法官认为该调查的法律依据“荒唐可笑”

    华盛顿6月22日路透电 — 一名美国法官认定,特朗普政府在今年早些时候该州移民执法行动达到顶峰之际,非法要求多名明尼苏达州官员提供信息,并裁定司法部滥用了调查程序。

    根据周一公开的一份法庭命令,明尼苏达州联邦地区法官帕特里克·希尔茨的裁决撤销了向该州民主党州长蒂姆·沃尔兹办公室以及其他五个地方和州级办公室发出的传票。

    这一裁决实质上叫停了唐纳德·特朗普总统领导的司法部的一项调查,该调查旨在查明民主党官员是否在公开反对部署数千名特工开展驱逐围捕行动的过程中阻碍了移民执法。

    曾由共和党总统乔治·W·布什任命的希尔茨写道,司法部为此次调查提供的法律依据“荒唐可笑”。

    “法院认定,受到质疑的传票的主要目的是胁迫明尼苏达州官员协助联邦政府执行民事移民法,并因他们未能配合而对其进行骚扰和报复,”希尔茨写道。这份于6月17日签发的命令于周一公开。

    司法部发言人表示,该部门“极其严肃地对待非法阻碍联邦执法行动的行为,并将继续完全依法行事以调查这些事项。”

    与移民突击行动相关的传票

    此次移民突击行动在明尼阿波利斯地区引发了多起与居民和活动人士的暴力冲突,包括1月份联邦特工枪杀两名美国公民。

    这一裁决是最新一起认定特朗普政府司法部开展了以政治打压为目的的调查,其意图更多是骚扰反对者而非调查潜在罪行。华盛顿特区一名法官今年3月在叫停对时任美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的调查时也做出了类似裁决。

    特朗普政府司法部要求获取与联邦移民行动相关的州和地方政策及指令的广泛信息。收到传票的人士包括明尼阿波利斯市长雅各布·弗雷和沃尔兹——特朗普经常嘲讽沃尔兹,而沃尔兹在2024年曾作为民主党人卡玛拉·哈里斯的副总统候选人参选。

    沃尔兹在一份书面声明中表示,这一裁决是“法治和我们民主制度的胜利”。

    同样收到传票的明尼苏达州总检察长、民主党人基思·埃里森对裁决表示欢迎。他在书面声明中说:“在美国,我们通过投票箱解决政治分歧,每个美国人都应该感到不安:唐纳德·特朗普正在将刑事司法系统武器化,对付那些与他政见不同的人。”

    司法部于1月份发出传票,当时特朗普政府官员指责沃尔兹和其他官员蓄意破坏该州的移民与海关执法局行动。

    沃尔兹公开鼓励民众拍摄ICE逮捕行动的视频,并赞扬了反对特朗普政府移民执法行动的抗议者。

    司法部律师表示,此次调查的重点是州和地方官员是否违反了禁止阻碍联邦行动以及庇护非法居住在美国的移民的法律。

    收到传票的人士在法庭上对传票提出质疑,称其发出的不当目的是报复政治对手并胁迫他们与联邦政府合作。

    希尔茨发现,司法部几乎没有提供证据证明州和地方官员违反了任何法律。

    “传票所寻求的信息与任何可能的刑事违规行为之间的关联从极其微弱到根本不存在,这一事实进一步证明,发出这些传票并非为了调查,而是为了骚扰、胁迫和报复,”法官写道。

    US judge shuts down DOJ immigration probe into Walz, Minnesota officials

    • Summary
    • Judge quashes DOJ subpoenas to Walz, other officials
    • Trump administration demanded info in probe examining interference with immigration surge
    • Judge finds justification for investigation “risible”

    WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge found ​that the Trump administration unlawfully demanded information from several Minnesota officials at the height of its immigration crackdown in the state ‌earlier this year, ruling that the Justice Department had abused the investigative process.

    The

    ruling, opens new tab
    by Minnesota-based U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz quashed subpoenas to the office of the state’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz and five other local and state offices, according to an order made public on Monday.

    The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.

    It effectively halts a probe by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department into whether ​Democratic officials had impeded immigration enforcement in their public resistance to the deployment of thousands of agents to conduct deportation roundups.

    Schiltz, an appointee of Republican ​President George W. Bush, wrote that the Justice Department’s legal justification for the investigation was “risible.”

    “The Court finds that the ⁠dominant purpose of the challenged subpoenas is to coerce Minnesota officials into assisting the federal government with enforcing civil immigration law and to harass ​and retaliate against them for failing to do so,” Schiltz wrote. The order issued on June 17 was unsealed on Monday.

    A Justice Department spokesperson said the ​department “takes the unlawful obstruction of federal law enforcement operations extremely seriously and will continue to act in full compliance with the law to investigate these matters.”

    SUBPOENAS TIED TO IMMIGRATION SURGE

    The immigration surge led to numerous violent confrontations with residents and activists in the Minneapolis area, including the killings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in January.

    The ruling is ​the latest to find that the Trump Justice Department conducted a politically motivated investigation aimed more at harassing opponents than examining potential crimes. A ​judge in Washington, D.C., made a similar finding in halting a probe into then-Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in March.

    The Trump Justice Department sought a wide range of information on ‌state ⁠and local policies and directives related to federal immigration operations. The subpoena recipients included Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Walz, whom Trump has frequently derided and who served as Democrat Kamala Harris’ vice presidential nominee in 2024.

    Walz said in a written statement that the decision was “a victory for the rule of law and our democracy.”

    Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a Democrat whose office was also subpoenaed, applauded the ruling. In a written statement he said, “In America, we ​settle our political differences at the ​ballot box, and it should disturb ⁠every American that Donald Trump is weaponizing the criminal justice system against people he disagrees with.”

    The Justice Department issued the subpoenas in January as Trump administration officials accused Walz and other officials of deliberately stoking interference with Immigration ​and Customs Enforcement operations in the state.

    Walz openly encouraged citizens to record video of ICE arrests and lauded ​protesters opposed to the ⁠Trump administration’s crackdown.

    DOJ lawyers said the investigation was focused on whether state and local officials had violated laws barring obstructing federal operations and harbored migrants living illegally in the United States.

    Recipients challenged the subpoenas in court, arguing they were issued for the improper purpose of retaliating against political opponents and coercing cooperation with ⁠the federal ​government.

    Schiltz found that the DOJ put forward little evidence that state and local officials had ​violated any laws.

    “The fact that connections between the information sought in the subpoenas and any possible criminal violation range from extremely weak to nonexistent only adds to the overwhelming evidence that ​these subpoenas were not issued to investigate, but to harass, coerce, and retaliate,” the judge wrote.
