  • 南希·格思里失踪45天仍难获新线索,调查专家称“难度大幅增加”

    南希·格思里失踪已达45天,而案件的最新进展对当局几乎毫无帮助。一位专家告诉CBS新闻,时间的延长意味着调查“变得难度大幅增加”。

    执法部门消息人士向CBS新闻透露,过去几周已从安装在格思里图森住宅的监控摄像头中获取了更多图像。据信,她于2月1日凌晨在该住宅内被绑架。

    这些图像来自固定在围栏上的摄像头,拍摄了住宅后部,另一台则显示了车道和车库门前方。图像中捕捉到了数周前(绑架事件发生前)的家庭成员、园艺工人和泳池工人。这些画面均未发现可疑情况,也没有任何图像显示前门摄像头中出现嫌疑人。

    在对这位84岁女性(《今日》节目主持人萨凡纳·格思里的母亲)失踪案展开调查的第七周,联邦调查局2月10日分享的门铃摄像头视频仍是唯一已知的嫌疑人图像。

    美国联邦调查局退休主管特别探员兰斯·莱辛告诉CBS新闻,这一切都表明“缺乏有意义的线索。这是我首先注意到的问题。”

    他补充道:“维持调查、保持其时效性并争取新线索变得更加困难。”

    现场发现的DNA仍在分析中,调查人员正借助法医基因谱系学技术希望突破案件。这项技术过去曾用于追查其他高调案件的罪犯,包括2022年杀害四名爱达荷大学学生的布赖恩·科伯格。

    不过,莱辛警告称,这一过程“需要一段时间”。

    “可能你在同一个DNA家族中会有多名潜在嫌疑人,必须分别独立调查每一个人。”他表示。

    当局仍在收到线索,格思里家族宣布提供100万美元悬赏后,联邦调查局已收到超过1500条潜在线索。但自格思里家族最后一次呼吁公众协助以来已近三周,执法部门上一次召开新闻发布会讨论此案也已过去一个多月。

    “我希望——我确信家属也极为希望——这种沉默是因为他们已掌握了线索,”莱辛说,“他们只需要更深入地调查。”

    With few new leads 45 days after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, investigation “becomes much harder,” expert says

    March 17, 2026 / 8:17 PM EDT / CBS News

    Jonathan Vigliotti, Pat Milton

    Nancy Guthrie has been missing for 45 days, and with the latest update in the case being of little use to authorities, one expert tells CBS News the extended timeline means it “becomes much harder to keep the investigation going.”

    Law enforcement sources told CBS News that additional images were obtained in the last couple of weeks from surveillance cameras installed at Guthrie’s Tucson home, where she is believed to have been abducted from in the middle of the night on Feb. 1.

    The images, taken from a camera fastened to a fence and focused on the back of the house and another that showed the driveway and front of the garage door, captured family members, landscapers and pool workers stretching back weeks prior to the kidnapping. Nothing was deemed suspicious, and no images reviewed showed the suspect captured on the front door camera.

    In the seventh week of the investigation into the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, doorbell camera video shared by the FBI on Feb. 10 remains the only known images of the suspect.

    Lance Leising, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, told CBS News it all points to “a lack of meaningful leads. That’s the initial thing it says to me.”

    “It becomes much harder to keep the investigation going, keep it current and fight for new leads,” he added.

    DNA recovered from the scene is still being analyzed, with investigators turning to forensic genetic genealogy in hopes of breaking the case open. It’s a technique that’s been used in the past to find other high-profile criminals, including Bryan Kohberger, the man who killed four University of Idaho students in 2022.

    Leising warned, however, that the process “takes a while.”

    “Maybe you’ve got multiple people within the same DNA family that could potentially be suspects. You have to investigate each one of those independently,” he said.

    Authorities also continue to receive tips, with over 1,500 potential leads coming into the FBI after the Guthrie family announced a $1 million reward. But it’s been nearly three weeks since the family last called on the public for help and more than a month since law enforcement held a news conference to discuss the case.

    “I’d like to be hopeful that — and I’m sure the family is incredibly hopeful — that the silence is because they’re on to something,” Leising said. “They just need to investigate harder.”

    One person was killed and another was wounded in a shooting at a U.S. Air Force base in New Mexico on Tuesday, according to military officials.

    The Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, in southern New Mexico, was put on lockdown at about 5:30 p.m. due to reports of an active shooter, according to a statement released by the Holloman Air Force Base. The person who was wounded has been taken for medical treatment.

    Security officials confirmed the base is safe and the lockdown has been lifted.

    “Emergency personnel are responding to the situation and there is no threat at this time,” the statement reads.

    Officials have not released the identities of those shot or any further details about the shooting.

    The roughly 93-square-mile base houses the 49th Wing, which supports national security work and includes combat-ready airmen and guardians, according to its website.

  • 民主党人帕蒂·加西亚在现任议员争议性最后时刻退选后获得党内提名


    民主党人帕蒂·加西亚(Patty García)在其前上司、现任议员赫苏斯·“丘伊”·加西亚(Jesús “Chuy” García)争议性地决定不寻求连任后,在伊利诺伊州第4国会选区的民主党初选中无人反对,从而获得了该党提名。

    民主党人帕蒂·加西亚在其前上司、现任议员赫苏斯·“丘伊”·加西亚(Jesús “Chuy” García)争议性地决定不寻求连任后,在伊利诺伊州第4国会选区的民主党初选中无人反对,从而获得了该党提名。

    伊利诺伊州第4国会选区是一个位于芝加哥及其郊区的西班牙裔人口占多数的地区,被认为是美国党内深度蓝色(民主党占绝对优势)的众议院选区之一,这使得加西亚在11月的大选中占据明显优势。

    自2019年加西亚议员当选以来,她一直担任其幕僚,被广泛认为是他精心挑选的继任者。两人并无亲属关系。加西亚议员去年秋天在选举报名截止日期过后两天宣布不寻求连任,此举引发争议。这一操作导致只有加西亚一人出现在选票上,迫使进步派候选人拜伦·西乔-洛佩兹(Byron Sigcho-Lopez)和梅拉·马西亚斯(Mayra Macías)以独立候选人身份参选。

    批评者称,这一操作是加西亚议员试图在其选区下次选举中操纵局势的不公平行为。众议院随后通过了一项反对他的决议,由同为民主党人的华盛顿州议员玛丽·格吕森坎普·佩雷斯(Marie Gluesenkamp Perez)牵头。近20名众议院民主党人无视少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯(Hakeem Jeffries)的反对,投票支持谴责决议。

    该决议以236票对183票通过,其中23名民主党人与共和党人一起投票谴责加西亚议员。四名议员投了“在场”票——俄亥俄州共和党议员沃伦·戴维森(Warren Davidson)、宾夕法尼亚州民主党议员克里斯西·胡拉汉(Chrissy Houlahan)、弗吉尼亚州民主党议员苏哈斯·苏布拉马尼亚姆(Suhas Subramanyam)和俄亥俄州民主党议员玛西·卡普图尔(Marcy Kaptur)。

    加西亚是芝加哥本地人,长期从事民主党政治策略工作,自2023年起担任加西亚议员的幕僚长。她的竞选平台紧密反映了其上司的优先事项,主张支持工会,并坚定反对总统唐纳德·特朗普。

    她的竞选网站称,移民执法“被用来恐吓工人阶级社区”。她承诺致力于废除美国移民和海关执法局(ICE),其网站上写道:“帕蒂直面了虐待性策略,并将为尊严、正当程序而战,废除ICE以使家庭能够毫无恐惧地生活。”

    第4选区的大选将是进步派之间的较量。西乔-洛佩兹是美国社会党(Democratic Socialists of America)成员,该社会主义政治团体在美国政治中随着纽约市市长佐兰·曼达尼(Zohran Mamdani)等人物的当选而重新崛起。

    与此同时,马西亚斯在其竞选网站上表示,她竞选国会席位“是因为她为之奋斗的一切都在被推翻,而养育她的社区正直接受到特朗普政府的针对”。

    Democrat Patty García gains party’s nomination after controversial last-minute dropout by incumbent

    A controversial move allowed García to run unopposed in the Democratic primary for Illinois Congressional District 4

    By Peter Pinedo
    Fox News
    Published March 17, 2026 10:10pm EDT

    Democrat Patty García secured her party’s nomination for Illinois’ 4th Congressional District after a controversial last-minute decision by her former boss, incumbent Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García, not to seek re-election allowed her to run unopposed.

    A heavily Hispanic district situated in Chicago and its suburbs, Illinois’ 4th Congressional District is considered one of the deepest-blue House districts in the country, giving García a marked advantage in the November general election.

    After serving on Rep. García’s staff since his 2019 election, she is widely considered his handpicked successor. The two are not related. Rep. García sparked controversy last fall when he announced he would not seek re-election two days after the filing deadline had passed. The maneuver left only García on the ballot, forcing progressive candidates Byron Sigcho-Lopez and Mayra Macías to run as independents.

    Critics called the maneuver an unfair attempt by Rep. García to tip the scales in his district’s next election. The House later passed a resolution of disapproval against him, led by fellow Democrat Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash. Nearly two dozen House Democrats defied Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., to vote in favor of the rebuke.

    The measure passed 236 to 183, with 23 Democrats joining Republicans to rebuke Rep. García. Four lawmakers voted “present” — Reps. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., and Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio.

    García is a Chicago native and longtime Democratic political strategist who has served as Rep. García’s chief of staff since 2023. She is running on a progressive platform that closely mirrors her boss’s priorities and is pro-union and a staunch opponent of President Donald Trump.

    Her campaign website states that immigration enforcement is “being used to terrorize working-class communities.” She has pledged to work to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with her website stating, “Patty has confronted abusive tactics head-on and will fight for dignity, due process, and to abolish ICE so families can live without fear.”

    The general election in District 4 will be a clash among progressives. Sigcho-Lopez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a socialist political group that has seen a resurgence in American politics with the election of figures such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

    Meanwhile, Macías states on her campaign website that she is running for Congress “because everything she has fought for is being rolled back and the community that raised her is being directly targeted by the Trump Administration.”

  • 黄仁勋:英伟达重启生产面向中国市场的H200晶片


    2026年3月18日 09:21 / 联合早报

    英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋披露,公司加速启动面向中国客户的H200人工智能晶片生产,显示英伟达重返中国这一关键市场取得新进展。

    据彭博社报道,黄仁勋星期二(3月17日)在美国加州圣何塞举行的一场新闻发布会上说,英伟达已获得“许多中国客户”的H200销售许可,目前正“重启生产”。他指出,情况较数周前已明显改善,“我们的供应链正在被重新激活”。

    此前受美国出口限制影响,英伟达人工智能晶片在中国市场几乎被封锁,公司一直寻求恢复销售,超威半导体等同行也面临类似处境。特朗普政府近期已开始允许企业向中国出口性能较低版本芯片,但仍需逐案审批。

    尽管英伟达去年12月已获美国总统特朗普批准,可向中国客户销售H200,但相关业务尚未贡献收入。同时,美国监管层设置的多重限制拖慢审批进度,全面恢复自由销售的可能性仍然不大。

    据悉,H200对华出口需要接受美国方面的审查,并被征收25%关税;监管机构还考虑对单一客户采购量设限,最多7.5万枚晶片,总出货量或控制在100万枚以内。

    中国市场曾贡献英伟达约四分之一营收,如今占比已大幅下降。尽管全球需求依然强劲,但作为全球最大的单一半导体市场之一,中国对英伟达的长期增长仍具有重要意义。

  • 委内瑞拉3-2击败美国队,首夺世界棒球经典赛冠军


    更新于:2026年3月17日 / 美国东部时间晚上11:20 / CBS新闻

    委内瑞拉队在世界棒球经典赛决赛中爆冷击败美国队,以3-2的比分赢得该国首个世界棒球经典赛冠军。

    第三局上半,迈克尔·加西亚(Maikel Garcia)通过牺牲高飞球得分,萨尔瓦多·佩雷斯(Salvador Perez)跑回本垒得分,为委内瑞拉队先拔头筹。随后,威利尔·阿布雷乌(Wilyer Abreu)在第五局击出一支阳春全垒打,再添一分。

    与此同时,美国队的打击一直哑火,直到第八局下半,费城费城人队球星布莱斯·哈珀(Bryce Harper)击出一支追平比分的两分全垒打。

    但第九局上半,美国队首位击球员被保送,尤金尼奥·苏亚雷斯(Eugenio Suárez)抓住机会,击出一支左中外野安打,将替补跑者哈维尔·索诺哈(Javier Sonoja)送回本垒,这一得分最终成为制胜分。

    丹尼尔·帕伦西亚(Daniel Palencia)在第九局下半投出完美的两出局,完成三振,这是他在本届赛事的第三次救援成功,最后通过三振罗曼·安东尼(Roman Anthony)结束比赛。委内瑞拉队球员冲进场内庆祝,而美国队球员则靠在休息区栏杆上,神情落寞。

    尽管美国队阵容星光熠熠,由亚伦·贾奇(Aaron Judge)、哈珀和保罗·斯肯尼斯(Paul Skenes)领衔,但他们连续第二次在这项国际棒球顶级赛事中失利,自2017年以来仍未夺冠。贾奇在冠军赛中4打数0安打,三次三振。

    在这场充满政治意味的对决前,球员和教练均回避讨论两国之间的政府动荡——今年1月美国军方逮捕委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗(Nicolás Maduro)的事件加剧了紧张局势。LoanDepot公园座无虚席,观众几乎全是支持委内瑞拉队的,在球员介绍环节甚至有观众 boo 美国队球员。

    委内瑞拉成为继2013年多米尼加共和国之后第二个赢得世界棒球经典赛的拉丁美洲国家。美国队曾在2017年夺冠,并在2023年决赛中于同一块场地输给了三次冠军得主日本队。

    尽管在这项20国参与的第六届赛事前,美国、日本和多米尼加共和国备受关注,但委内瑞拉的成功并非意外。去年,大联盟开幕战阵容中有63名出生于委内瑞拉的球员,仅次于多米尼加共和国的100人,是美国本土外第二多的国家。

    第三局对阵麦克莱恩(McLean)时,委内瑞拉队率先得分。由于泰里克·斯库巴尔(Tarik Skubal)和底特律老虎队决定让这位两次赛扬奖得主仅参加第一轮比赛,麦克莱恩获得先发机会。

    萨尔瓦多·佩雷斯首球击出安打,罗纳德·阿库尼亚(Ronald Acuña Jr.)在一出局后上垒。投手投出曲球后,跑者推进,加西亚随后击出牺牲高飞球至中外野得分。

    阿布雷乌将比分扩大一倍,他用414英尺的打击将快速球击向中外野。他在绕过二垒时头盔掉落,接近本垒板时兴奋地跳跃,受到队友列队迎接。

    罗德里格斯(Rodriguez)在4又1/3局中投出1支安打后,委内瑞拉队转用牛棚投手。

    美国队球员穿着由外野手皮特·克劳-阿姆斯特朗(Pete Crow-Armstrong)和杰克·休斯(Jack Hughes)协调的比赛服——这些球员上月在奥运会男子冰球决赛中击败加拿大得分,穿的是美国奥运冰球服。

    在灯火通明的体育场内,球迷们佩戴着闪烁着节日灯光的手环,贾奇和阿拉埃斯(Arraez)举着国旗,带领两队沿着边线入场。

    Venezuela defeats U.S. 3-2 for first World Baseball Classic title

    Updated on: March 17, 2026 / 11:20 PM EDT / CBS News

    Venezuela stunned the United States in the World Baseball Classic final, beating the Americans 3-2 for the country’s first WBC title.

    Maikel Garcia got Venezuela on the board with a sacrifice fly that scored Salvador Perez in the top of the 3rd. Then Wilyer Abreu added another run with a solo shot in the 5th.

    The U.S. bats, meanwhile, had been silenced until the bottom of the 8th, when Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper hit a game-tying two-run home run.

    But a leadoff walk in the top of the 9th allowed Eugenio Suárez to knock in what would prove to be the winning run, smacking a double to left center field and scoring pinch runner Javier Sonoja.

    Daniel Palencia struck out two in a perfect bottom half to finish a three-hitter and get his third save of the WBC, striking out Roman Anthony to end the game. Venezuelans ran onto the infield to celebrate as the Americans stared while leaning on their dugout railing.

    Despite a heralded roster of stars led by Aaron Judge, Harper and Paul Skenes, the U.S. lost its second straight final of baseball’s premier international event and remained without a title since 2017. Judge was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in the championship game.

    Ahead of a matchup with political overtones, players and coaches avoided discussing the government turmoil between the nations, heightened when the U.S. military captured Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro in January. The sellout crowd at LoanDepot Park was heavily pro-Venezuela, with some booing American players during the introductions.

    Venezuela became the second Latin American nation to win the WBC, after the Dominican Republic in 2013. The U.S. took the title in 2017 and lost the 2023 final to three-time champion Japan on this same field.

    While the U.S., Japan and the Dominican Republic got much of the attention ahead of the sixth edition of the 20-nation event, Venezuela’s success was not that surprising. Sixty-three players born in Venezuela appeared on Major League Baseball opening-day rosters last year, second-most from outside the U.S. behind the Dominican Republic’s 100.

    Venezuela went ahead in the third inning against McLean, getting the start because Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers decided the two-time Cy Young Award winner would make only a first-round appearance.

    Salvador Perez sliced a first-pitch single and Ronald Acuña Jr. walked with one out. The runners advanced when McLean bounced a curveball, and Garcia followed with a sac fly to center.

    Abreu doubled the lead when he drove a fastball 414 feet to center. His helmet fell off when he rounded second and he hopped in excitement as he neared the plate, where he was greeted by a line of teammates.

    Rodriguez allowed one hit in 4 1/3 innings before Venezuela turned to its bullpen.

    U.S. players had arrived at LoanDepot Park in game-worn U.S. Olympic hockey jerseys coordinated by outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and Jack Hughes, who scored the gold medal-winning goal against Canada last month.

    In a darkened ballpark filled by fans wearing wristbands with festive blinking lights, Judge and Arraez led the teams down the foul lines for the introductions while carrying their nation’s flags.

    3月17日(路透社)- 周二,尽管民主党人和一名前福克斯新闻主持人反对她五年前就反对禁止职场性骚扰或性侵犯指控强制仲裁的证词,一名保守派法律活动人士还是获得了美国参议院的批准,将成为路易斯安那州的联邦法官。

    由共和党主导的美国参议院以51票对45票通过,确认汉密尔顿林肯法律研究所(Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute)主席兼总法律顾问安娜·圣约翰(Anna St. John)担任路易斯安那州东区联邦地区法院法官席位。

    共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在1月的一条社交媒体帖子中宣布了对圣约翰的提名,称赞她”有着坚定保护言论自由、捍卫宗教自由、并阻止男性参与女性体育赛事的坚定记录”。

    这位总部位于新奥尔良的律师自2015年起在法律活动家泰德·弗兰克(Ted Frank)的”集体诉讼公平中心”(Center for Class Action Fairness)工作,该中心现已成为汉密尔顿林肯法律研究所的一部分。该机构致力于推动反对集体诉讼和解的运动,声称这类和解仅惠及律师,而消费者几乎得不到任何救济。

    共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪(John Kennedy)(路易斯安那州议员,参议院司法委员会成员)周二在一份声明中表示:”她对宪法了如指掌,而且具备成为一名优秀、公正法官所需的智慧和经验。”

    她的提名遭到包括参议院司法委员会最高民主党议员迪克·德宾(Dick Durbin)在内的民主党人的反对。德宾在本月早些时候的听证会上表示,她的”记录反映出一种党派意识形态,让人严重质疑她能否公正执法”。

    他指出,前福克斯新闻主播格雷琴·卡尔森(Gretchen Carlson)也反对她的提名。十年前,卡尔森提起了一起备受瞩目的诉讼,指控福克斯新闻前首席执行官罗杰·艾尔斯(Roger Ailes)对其进行性骚扰。艾尔斯于2017年去世,否认了这些指控。

    卡尔森在1月29日由进步组织”正义行动联盟”(Alliance for Justice Action)联合撰写并在网上发表的评论文章中称,圣约翰在国会作证时试图”欺骗”那些在#MeToo运动爆发后寻求废除强制仲裁的女性。

    跨党派法案:2022年,美国国会通过了《终止性骚扰和性侵犯强制仲裁法案》(Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act),禁止企业强迫声称遭受性侵犯或骚扰的员工通过仲裁解决纠纷,而不能选择提起诉讼。

    圣约翰在2021年11月向美国众议院司法委员会作证时反对该法案,在书面证词中表示,仲裁”即使在性骚扰和性侵犯等严重伤害问题上,也可以是一种更快、更廉价的纠纷解决方式”。

    在2月4日的听证会上被问及她的证词时,圣约翰再次为仲裁辩护,称它”可能是有益的,并且往往能为原告和性侵犯幸存者带来更高的赔偿金额”。

    March 17 (Reuters) – A conservative legal activist won U.S. Senate approval Tuesday to become a federal judge in Louisiana, despite objections by Democrats and a former Fox News host over testimony she gave five years ago opposing a ​ban on mandatory arbitration for workplace sexual assault or harassment claims.

    The Republican-led U.S. Senate voted 51-45 ‌to confirm Anna St. John, the president and general counsel of the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, to a seat on the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana.

    Republican President Donald Trump announced St. John’s nomination in a January social media post that touted ​her “strong record of tirelessly fighting to protect Free Speech, champion Religious Liberty, and keep men out of women’s ​sports.”

    The New Orleans-based lawyer has worked since 2015 at legal activist Ted Frank’s Center for ⁠Class Action Fairness, now part of the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, helping advance its campaign against class action settlements ​it says benefits lawyers while delivering little to no relief to consumers.

    “She knows our Constitution like the back of ​her hand and has the smarts and experience to be a great, fair judge,” Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement on Tuesday.

    Her nomination was opposed by Democrats including Senator Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on ​the Senate Judiciary Committee, who during a hearing earlier this month said her “record reflects a partisan ideology and raises ​serious questions about her ability to impartially administer justice.”

    He pointed to opposition to her nomination from former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, ‌who a decade ⁠ago filed a high-profile lawsuit accusing Roger Ailes, Fox News’ former chief executive, of sexual harassment. Ailes, who died in 2017, denied the claims.

    Carlson in an opinion piece she co-wrote that was published online, opens new tab January 29 by the progressive group Alliance for Justice Action claimed that St. John while testifying before Congress had sought to “gaslight” women seeking to eradicate forced ​arbitration following the onset of ​the #MeToo movement.

    The bipartisan Ending ⁠Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act was passed by Congress in 2022 and bans companies from forcing employees who allege sexual assault or harassment to settle their ​claims with an arbitrator without the option of filing a lawsuit.

    St. John testified in ​November 2021 before ⁠the U.S. House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee against the bill, saying in a written submission that arbitration can be a faster, less expensive way to resolve disputes, “even when serious harms such as sexual harassment and assault are at issue.”

    Asked during a ⁠February 4 ​hearing about her testimony, St. John again defended arbitration, saying it “can be ​beneficial and that it can result, and often does result, in much higher recoveries for plaintiffs and sexual assault survivors.”

  • 白宫称特朗普掌握”有力证据”表明伊朗将率先袭击美国,此前反恐高官辞职


    作者:格雷格·诺曼-戴蒙德 | 福克斯新闻
    发布时间:2026年3月17日 美国东部时间下午5:57

    周二,白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特驳斥了美国最高反恐官员辞职信中的”虚假指控”,称总统唐纳德·特朗普掌握”确凿且令人信服的证据”,证明伊朗将率先对美国发动袭击。

    乔·肯特今天早些时候在X平台(原推特)上写道:”经过深思熟虑,我决定辞去国家反恐中心主任一职,今日生效。”肯特表示,他无法”凭良心”支持美国正在进行的对伊朗战争,声称”伊朗对我国不存在迫在眉睫的威胁,很明显,我们发动这场战争是由于以色列及其强大的美国游说团体的压力。”

    “这封信中有很多虚假指控,但我要特别澄清一点:’伊朗对我国不存在迫在眉睫的威胁’这一说法。”利维特回应道,”这和民主党人和一些自由派媒体反复重复的虚假说法如出一辙。”

    “正如特朗普总统明确而清晰地表示的那样,他有确凿且令人信服的证据表明伊朗将率先对美国发动袭击。”她补充道。

    [特朗普向因伊朗问题辞职的情报官员道别:”他离开是件好事”]

    利维特称:”这一证据是由多个来源和因素汇编而成的,特朗普总统绝不会在没有任何依据的情况下决定向外国对手部署军事力量。”

    这位新闻秘书表示,伊朗是世界上主要的国家支持恐怖主义国家——本月早些时候,众议院议员在通过一项包含相同表述的决议时也表达了这一观点。

    “伊朗政权是邪恶的。它公然杀害美国人,对我国发动战争,并一直对我们进行公开威胁,直至’史诗狂怒行动’(Operation Epic Fury)启动。”利维特继续说道。

    [欧盟推动以”各方保全颜面”的方式结束伊朗战争]

    “伊朗正在积极扩张其短程弹道导弹,并将其与海军资产结合,以获得所谓的’免疫能力’——这意味着他们将具备一定的能力,使我们和世界其他国家无法对其采取行动,”她补充道,”该政权企图利用这些弹道导弹作为盾牌,继续实现其最终目标——拥有核武器。”

    利维特表示,总统”最终确定与以色列联合发动袭击将大大降低美国民众因恐怖主义伊朗政权发动首次打击而面临的生命风险,并解决美国国家安全利益面临的这一迫在眉睫的威胁。”

    她还抨击了”荒谬的指控,即特朗普总统是基于他人(甚至外国)的影响做出这一决定的”,称肯特的说法”既无礼又可笑”。

    “特朗普总统几十年来一直立场坚定,他表示伊朗绝不能拥有核武器。”利维特说,”作为每天都亲眼目睹特朗普总统决策过程的人,我可以证明,他始终致力于为美国谋求最大利益——仅此而已。美国优先。”

    White House, after top counterterrorism official quits, says Trump had ‘strong’ evidence Iran would attack US

    By Greg Norman-Diamond | Fox News
    Published March 17, 2026 5:57pm EDT

    White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back Tuesday on “false claims” in the resignation letter of the nation’s top counterterrorism official, saying President Donald Trump had “strong and compelling evidence” that Iran was going to attack the United States first.

    Joe Kent wrote on X earlier this morning that, “After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.” Kent said he could not in “good conscience” support the ongoing war with Iran, claiming that “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

    “There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that ‘Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation,” Leavitt responded. “This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.”

    “As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first,” she added.

    Leavitt said, “This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors,” and, “President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.”

    The press secretary said Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism – a sentiment that House lawmakers agreed with earlier this month when they passed a resolution containing the same language.

    “The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury,” Leavitt continued.

    “Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage,” she added. “The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal– nuclear weapons.”

    Leavitt said the president “ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.”

    She also slammed the “absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries,” calling Kent’s claim “insulting and laughable.”

    “President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon,” Leavitt said. “As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period.America First.”

  • 共和党引发参议院马拉松式斗争,揭露民主党反对特朗普支持的选民ID法案


    By Alex Miller | 福克斯新闻
    发布时间:2026年3月17日 美国东部时间下午4:01

    周二,参议院共和党人成功启动了对参议院的控制权争夺,旨在让参议院民主党人公开反对特朗普支持的选民ID立法。

    这一举措是为了将公众注意力从共和党内部对《保障美国选民资格法案》(SAVE America Act)的分歧上转移到参议院民主党人身上,因为民主党人最终拒绝投出必要的赞成票以通过该法案。

    “没有一位民主党人会支持《SAVE法案》。这是一项激进的法案,”纽约州民主党参议员、参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默在参议院议场上表示。

    “如果共和党人试图在这项立法上拖延时间,我们将不惜一切代价反对他们。”

    这也是唐纳德·特朗普总统、其党内保守派以及狂热的网络运动向参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(R-S.D.)施压,要求将该法案提上日程的最终结果。

    特朗普表示,他周一上午与图恩谈到了即将到来的流程,并说”他正在努力”。

    “我希望约翰·图恩能成功推进此事,”特朗普说。

    当被问及特朗普是否理解前进道路时,图恩表示:”嗯,我认为他希望我们为自己的立场而战,我们会的,然后看看民主党人想怎么做。”

    然而,开启这场将持续数天的马拉松式法案辩论并非没有障碍。阿拉斯加州共和党参议员莉萨·穆尔科斯基与所有参议院民主党人一道阻止了该法案。曾威胁要尽一切可能阻挠该法案的北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯没有投票。

    尽管犹他州参议员迈克·李、佛罗里达州参议员里克·斯科特和威斯康星州参议员罗恩·约翰逊的游说活动部分成功地将该法案提上日程,但该法案仍注定失败。

    李周一在X平台的视频通话中表示,他和特朗普有信心,如果共和党人”做好准备,不拖延直到法案通过,就能赢得这场席位争夺”。

    [参议院共和党人将归咎于特朗普支持的SAVE法案失败]

    李和一群共和党人推动图恩进行连续演讲阻挠议事策略,以有效削弱参议院民主党人的反对,并将通过《SAVE America法案》的门槛降低到仅需简单多数投票。

    但共和党人对此举措并非一致支持,这使得一个新颖的想法变成了一个数学难题,考虑到共和党没有足够的票数来阻止几项可能大幅改变该法案的民主党修正案,这可能会轻易反噬共和党。

    “如果你的参议员不支持用连续演讲阻挠议事策略来通过《SAVE America法案》,你可能需要换掉他们,”李在X平台上说。

    随着最初的障碍被克服,参议院现在将开始马拉松式的辩论和修正案程序。修正案投票只会在席位争夺的后期出现,并且需要共和党人通过民主党可能阻挠的另一项程序性考验。

    而每一项修正案(共和党将控制投票)都必须达到60票的门槛,这意味着特朗普希望附加到法案上的任何条款都无法通过。

    密苏里州共和党参议员埃里克·施密特将牵头提出一系列修正案,其中包括特朗普希望对法案进行的修改。

    这些修改包括:终止未经请求的邮寄选票(军人、残疾人及患病者除外);禁止男性参加女子体育赛事;以及禁止对未成年人进行变性手术。

    终止邮寄投票在共和党人中并非大获全胜,许多人对此做法的全面终止表示反对。

    约翰逊在投票前承认了这一障碍,并同意不能完全停止缺席选票,但立法者应该对这种做法找到”合理的限制”。

    “我一直认为你不能禁止缺席选票,否则我就无法投票了,”约翰逊告诉福克斯新闻数字版。”我每周二都在华盛顿,你知道的。所以,必须有缺席选票,但必须对其加以限制。”

    随着席位争夺的激烈进行,参议院民主党人也可能造成最大程度的阻力,他们将采取程序性手段来拖延进程,这可能会影响俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·穆林的确认听证会时间安排,因为共和党正急于任命他为特朗普的下任国土安全部部长。

    GOP triggers marathon Senate fight to expose Dems’ opposition to Trump-backed voter ID bill

    By Alex Miller | Fox News
    Published March 17, 2026 4:01pm EDT

    Senate Republicans on Tuesday successfully launched their floor takeover to put Senate Democrats on record against Trump-backed voter ID legislation.

    It’s a move to shift the spotlight from internal GOP divisions over the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act onto Senate Democrats, who are ultimately withholding the needed votes to pass the bill.

    “Not a single Democrat will support the SAVE Act. It is a radical bill,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor.

    “And if Republicans try to burn time on this legislation here on the floor, we will oppose them for as long as it takes.”

    It’s also the culmination of a pressure campaign on Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., from President Donald Trump, conservatives in his conference and a fervent online campaign to put the bill on the floor.

    Trump said he spoke with Thune Monday morning about the forthcoming process and said “he’s trying.”

    “I hope John Thune can get it across the line,” Trump said.

    When asked if Trump understood the path forward, Thune said, “Well, I think he wants us to fight for our position, which we will, and then we’ll see what the Democrats want to do.”

    Still, opening up what will be a multi-day marathon debate on the bill wasn’t without its hiccups. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, joined all Senate Democrats to block the legislation. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who threatened to do everything he could to block the bill, did not vote.

    While the lobbying campaign from Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah; Rick Scott, R-Fla.; and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., was partly successful in getting the bill on the floor, it is still destined to fail.

    Lee said during a video call on X Monday that he and Trump were confident they could win the floor fight if Republicans “get this thing teed up, and we do not leave it until it’s passed.”

    [SENATE GOP EYES BLAME GAME AS TRUMP-BACKED SAVE ACT HEADS FOR DEFEAT]

    Lee and a cohort of Republicans pushed Thune to enact a talking filibuster to effectively wear down Senate Democrats and lower the threshold to pass the SAVE America Act to just a simple majority vote.

    But there wasn’t unanimous support among Republicans for the move, making a novel idea into a math problem that could easily backfire on the GOP, given that Republicans don’t have the votes to block several Democratic amendments that would drastically change the bill.

    “If your senators don’t support using the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, you might need to replace them,” Lee said on X.

    With the initial hurdle passed, the Senate will now begin the marathon debate and amendment process. Amendment votes will only come at the tail end of the floor battle and will require Republicans to take another procedural test that Democrats could block.

    And each amendment, which Republicans will control, has to hit a 60-vote threshold, meaning that none of the provisions that Trump wants to be attached to the bill will survive.

    Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., will head off the flurry of amendments with a package of add-ons that include Trump’s desired modifications to the bill.

    Those include ending unsolicited mail-in ballots, with exceptions for military service members, disabilities and illness; banning men from women’s sports; and halting transgender surgeries on minors.

    Halting mail-in balloting isn’t a home run among Republicans, with many pushing back on a sweeping end to the practice.

    Johnson acknowledged that hurdle before the vote and agreed that absentee ballots couldn’t be halted altogether, but lawmakers should find “reasonable restrictions” on the practice.

    “I’ve argued myself you can’t ban absentee ballots, or I’m not gonna be able to vote,” Johnson told Fox News Digital. “I’m here on Tuesdays in Washington, you know. So, you have to have absentee ballots, but there’s got to be restrictions on it.”

    Senate Democrats could inflict maximum pain as the floor battle rages, too, turning to procedural moves to bog down the process that could derail the timing of Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s, R-Okla., confirmation hearing as the GOP sprints to install him as Trump’s next Department of Homeland Security chief.
