  • 泰国高中枪击案造成数人死亡,官员称未成年嫌疑人先杀害祖父母


    更新于:2026年8月7日 / 美国东部时间凌晨3:32 / 哥伦比亚广播公司/美联社

    泰国暖武里府 —— 警方称,周五曼谷郊外一所高中发生学生枪击事件,造成至少6人死亡,另有多人受伤。

    泰国皇家警察发言人崔龙·皮潘(Trairong Piwpan)告诉美联社,枪击事件发生在首都西北部暖武里府的德西林暖武里学校。

    当局公布的伤亡信息存在矛盾,无法立即核实统一。

    崔龙向新闻频道3透露,枪手已被送医,情况危急。他表示,3名教师和3名学生遇害,另有15人受伤,其中2人伤势危重。

    卫生部长帕塔纳·普罗姆帕特(Pattana Promphat)称,共有22人受伤,9人伤势危重。部分伤者是因摔倒等原因受伤,目前尚不清楚具体有多少人中枪。

    副内政部长波拉皮·素温奇(Polapee Suwunchwee)在现场对记者表示,有5名教师遇难,枪手先在家中杀害了自己的两名祖父母,随后前往学校。他还称枪手在医院不治身亡。

    哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的合作媒体英国广播公司新闻报道称,枪手与祖父母同住。

    路透社援引警方消息报道,这名14岁枪手至少发射了26发子弹,现场还查获了另外34发子弹。警方表示,枪支属于其祖父。

    崔龙表示,作案动机仍在调查中。他称,枪支据称是从学生的一名家庭成员处夺取的。

    一名目击者告诉记者,学生们躲在教室内,听到另一栋楼传来枪声,随后警察敲门并为他们开辟了撤离通道。

    枪击发生约一小时后,人们聚集在校外互相安慰,警察和急救人员在校园内展开工作。

    总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库(Anutin Charnvirakul)表示哀悼,并下令相关官员妥善安置受害者。

    今年2月,泰国南部一名17岁男子从警方处窃取枪支,在一所公立高中开枪行凶,挟持人质长达两小时,造成1人死亡、2人受伤。

    2023年,一名14岁男孩被控在曼谷一家大型购物中心开枪行凶。

    Thailand high school shooting leaves several dead after teen suspect kills his grandparents, officials say

    Nonthaburi, Thailand — A student shot several people at a high school outside Bangkok on Friday, killing at least six and wounding several others, police said.

    The shooting happened at the Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province northwest of the national capital, Royal Thai Police spokesperson Trairong Piwpan told The Associated Press.

    Authorities gave conflicting information on the casualties that could not immediately be reconciled.

    Trairong told news broadcaster Channel 3 the shooter was being hospitalized in serious condition. He said three teachers and three students were killed and 15 others were injured, two critically.

    Health Minister Pattana Promphat said 22 people were injured with nine in critical condition. Some were injured from causes such as falls, and it wasn’t clear how many were shot.

    Deputy Interior Minister Polapee Suwunchwee told reporters at the scene that five teachers died and that the shooter killed his two grandparents at home before going to the school. He also said the shooter died at a hospital.

    CBS News partner network BBC News reported that the gunman lived with his grandparents.

    The Reuters news agency, citing police, reported that the shooter, who was 14 years old, fired at least 26 bullets and was found with 34 more rounds. The gun belonged to his grandfather, police said.

    Trairong said the motive was still being investigated. He said the gun was believed to have been taken from a member of the student’s family.

    A witness told reporters that students hid inside a classroom while they heard gunshots from another building before police officers knocked on the door and cleared a way for them to leave the building.

    About an hour after the shooting, people stood outside the school comforting one another and police and first responders walked around inside the school.

    Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul offered his condolences and said he had ordered relevant officials to take care of the victims.

    In February, a 17-year-old stole a gun from police and opened fire at a public high school in southern Thailand, briefly taking people hostage in a two-hour attack that killed one person and injured two others.

    In 2023, a 14-year-old boy was accused of a shooting at a major Bangkok shopping mall.

  • 就业报告将对美联储主席沃什的“减少指引”立场形成新考验


    2026-08-07T05:04:21.147Z / 路透社

    8月7日(路透社)——美联储主席凯文·沃什希望债券市场发挥主导作用,主张应由市场更多地承担起确定美国资金价格的职责。

    自他就任主席以来主持首次政策会议的七个星期里,这场长期沉寂的经济学争论迎来了一场动荡且代价高昂的考验:央行发布的信息在何种临界点会过多,以至于货币政策无法有效发挥作用?在近年来市场已经习惯了美联储提供大量指引的情况下,投资者会如何应对经济数据及其他动态,同时收到的美联储指引却有所减少?

    路透社每日简报通讯为您提供开启一天所需的全部新闻。点击此处订阅。

    这一问题的最新答案将于周五上午揭晓,届时将公布7月就业报告,这是衡量经济状况的关键指标,许多投资者认为当前美国经济已经过热。

    沃什的沟通政策转变所带来的代价,在上周美联储最新政策会议后的新闻发布会上已显露无遗。市场此前普遍预计美联储将维持利率不变——期货市场仅认为加息概率为三分之一——但真正令投资者不安的是,美联储没有就后续政策走向给出任何明确信号。

    较长期国债收益率随即攀升,30年期国债收益率触及2007年以来的最高水平,10年期国债收益率则达到2025年1月以来的点位。

    受伊朗局势起伏影响,油价在美联储会议前大幅波动,这重新引发了外界对沃什抗击通胀决心的质疑。此后收益率随油价小幅回落,但对许多投资者而言,沟通策略转变将如何在市场中发酵的问题仍远未得到解决。

    “沃什的期望与市场的诉求之间存在紧张关系,”双线资本(DoubleLine Capital)投资组合经理、全球主权及新兴市场主管比尔·坎贝尔表示。投资者如今必须从有限的指引中推断出这位美联储主席此前曾明确阐述的内容:美联储将如何应对即将公布的经济数据。

    “减少指引”意味着什么

    美联储关于利率走向的前瞻性指引在2008年之后成为常规操作,当时利率降至零水平,政策制定者通过未来承诺来压低长期借贷成本。

    FHN金融公司首席经济学家克里斯·洛表示,当时这一工具发挥了预期作用。但在杰罗姆·鲍威尔执政期间,这一做法愈演愈烈——鲍威尔几乎每次调整利率前都会提前释放信号。洛指出,当需要迅速采取行动时,这种做法可能会束缚美联储的手脚。

    市场一直密切关注美联储的“点阵图”利率预测——但随着经济数据变化重塑前景,这些预测往往与实际情况不符。

    沃什认为,美联储并不比市场更擅长预测未来,因此美联储的决策应回顾过去,而非展望未来——疫情后的“暂时性通胀”判断就是一个典型例子。

    对部分投资者而言,这种模糊性正是政策调整的意义所在。“缩减前瞻性指引背后的战略,是迫使市场承担起责任,借助市场力量来帮助他完成工作,”Sage Advisory联席首席投资官托马斯·乌拉诺说道。

    PGIM固定收益部门首席投资策略师、全球债券主管罗伯特·蒂普表示,美联储确定性的减少,迫使投资者自行评估风险,而非依赖美联储的承诺。

    他以此前的加息周期作为警示案例:当时鲍威尔在加息的同时,经常口头打压利率预期,削弱了他原本想要实现的紧缩效果。“你需要让环境变得更昂贵,也更不确定一些,”蒂普说道。

    金融状况 vs 联邦基金利率与10年期国债收益率

    不过,在通胀高企的背景下,这一策略更难获得认同。洛指出,沃什当初提出退居幕后、让市场自行找到均衡水平的主张时,通胀率尚在3%以下且持续下行。而当前通胀率接近4%,洛认为这正是外界对沃什的做法提出大量批评的根源。

    不确定性的风险溢价

    DRW交易公司市场策略师卢·布里恩认为,市场并非拒绝沃什交付的任务——而是在为没有“导航图”就开展工作的成本定价。“市场希望为此获得补偿,”他说,“而他们获得补偿的方式就是推高利率。”

    布里恩认为,这种风险溢价的一部分,反映了外界对沃什是否独立于白宫的持续质疑。即便抛开这一点不谈,布里恩也表示,美联储的影响力并不会因为停止解释政策就消失殆尽。

    投资者仍会从政策声明、异议投票和新闻发布会的回答中寻找美联储反应函数的线索。“不管你喜不喜欢,美联储都会留下影响力,”布里恩说道。

    其他人指出,尽管沃什保持沉默,但其他美联储政策制定者仍在发表看法。

    “目前唯一不提供前瞻性指引的就是沃什本人,”道明证券美国利率策略主管根纳季·戈德伯格表示,“如今是依赖经济数据的相机抉择指引时代。”

    坎贝尔表示,就目前而言,沃什的做法尚未解决一个关键的循环问题:沃什希望利率更多由市场和数据而非美联储委员会决定,但市场却在试图揣摩他的反应函数。

    与此同时,沃什并未完全锁定这一政策路径。正如洛所指出的,“他们并不一定承诺永远不会再次使用前瞻性指引。”

    Jobs report will offer fresh test of Fed Chairman Warsh’s less-guidance stance

    2026-08-07T05:04:21.147Z / Reuters

    Aug 7 (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh wants the bond market to take the wheel, contending it should do more of the work of setting the price of money in America.

    In the seven weeks ​since his debut policy meeting as chairman, the result has been a volatile, expensive test of a long dormant economic argument: at what point does information from the central bank ‌become too much information for monetary policy to work efficiently? And how will investors react to economic data and other developments with less guidance from the Fed than they have become accustomed to in recent years?

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

    The latest response to this question will come on Friday morning with the release of the July employment report, a key read on an economy that many investors believe is already running hot.

    The price of Warsh’s communications-policy shift became unmistakable at his press conference following the Fed’s most recent policy meeting ​last week. A rate hold was expected — futures markets saw only a one-in-three chance of a hike — but what rattled investors was the absence of any clear marker for what would come next.

    Longer-dated Treasury ​yields quickly rose, with the 30-year yield hitting its highest level since 2007 and the 10-year yield touching a level last seen in January 2025.

    Oil prices ⁠spiked heading into the Fed meeting, thanks to the ebb and flow of the Iran war, renewing questions about Warsh’s inflation-fighting resolve. Yields have since declined modestly alongside oil prices, but for many investors the question ​of how the communications shift will play out in markets is far from settled.

    “There is a tension between what Warsh wants versus what the market wants,” said Bill Campbell, portfolio manager and head of global sovereign and ​emerging markets at DoubleLine Capital. Investors now must infer from limited guidance what the Fed chair once spelled out: how the Fed would respond to incoming data.

    WHAT “LESS GUIDANCE” MEANS

    Forward guidance, the Fed’s signaling on likely rate paths, became standard after 2008, when rates hit zero and policymakers used future promises to push down long-term borrowing costs.

    Chris Low, chief economist at FHN Financial, said the tool worked as intended then. But the habit grew under Jerome Powell, who rarely moved rates without first telegraphing ​it. This, Low said, can tie the Fed’s hands when quicker action is warranted.

    Markets have fixated on the Fed’s “dot plot” rate forecasts — projections that often miss the mark as shifting data reshapes the outlook.

    Warsh argues the ​Fed is no better than markets at forecasting the future, so its decisions should look backward, not forward — with the “transitory” inflation call after the pandemic a case in point.

    For some investors, the ambiguity is the point. “The strategy behind pulling back ‌on forward guidance ⁠is forcing the market to take responsibility and enlisting the market in helping him do his job,” said Thomas Urano, co-chief investment officer at Sage Advisory.

    Robert Tipp, chief investment strategist and head of global bonds at PGIM Fixed Income, says less certainty from the Fed forces investors to price risk themselves rather than lean on Fed promises.

    He points to the prior hiking cycle as a cautionary tale, when Powell routinely talked down the rate outlook even while raising rates, softening the tightening he sought. “You need to make it more expensive and a little more uncertain,” Tipp said.

    Financial Conditions vs Fed Funds Rate and 10 Year Treasury Yield

    The strategy is a harder sell with inflation elevated, though. Low notes that Warsh made ​the case for stepping back and letting the market ​find its own equilibrium when the Fed is ⁠close to reaching its goals — back when inflation was under 3% and falling. It’s closer to 4% now, which Low sees as the source of much of the criticism aimed at Warsh’s approach.

    A PREMIUM FOR UNCERTAINTY

    Lou Brien, a market strategist at DRW Trading, argues markets aren’t refusing the job Warsh has handed them — they’re ​pricing what it costs to do it without a map. “The market wants to be compensated for it,” he said, “and the way they get compensated is through ​higher interest rates.”

    Part of that ⁠premium, Brien argues, reflects lingering questions about Warsh’s independence from the White House. Even setting that aside, Brien argues the Fed’s influence doesn’t vanish just because it stops explaining itself.

    Investors still parse statements, dissents and press-conference answers for clues to its reaction function. “The Fed casts a shadow, like it or not,” Brien said.

    Others point out that other Fed policymakers are still offering their views even as Warsh stays quiet.

    “The only one not providing forward guidance at the moment ⁠is Warsh,” said ​Gennadiy Goldberg, head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities. “This is the era of contingent guidance because it’s all contingent on ​the economic data.”

    For now, Warsh’s approach hasn’t resolved a key circularity, said Campbell. Warsh wants rates to be driven more by markets and data rather than the committee, while the market tries to divine his reaction function.

    Meanwhile, Warsh has left the door open on this ​approach. As Low notes, “they’re not necessarily committed to never using it again.”

  • 特朗普曾做过许多共和党人批评福奇的事


    2026-08-07T04:01:29.159Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/07/politics/fauci-trump-republicans

    经过多年批评,共和党人正加大力度,推进他们长期以来针对前卫生官员安东尼·福奇博士的行动。

    参议院一个委员会周四以党派投票结果裁定福奇藐视国会,此前他在上周的听证会上多次援引第五修正案反对自证其罪的权利。司法部现在必须决定是否对福奇提起诉讼,考虑到唐纳德·特朗普总统任内司法部的政治化程度,这似乎相当有可能。

    但在新冠疫情爆发约六年后才针对福奇,对共和党人来说也是一种选择性执法。

    这是因为他被指控的许多不当行为,理论上也可以安在这位曾以最高权力职位身份领导美国政府头10个月新冠应对工作的人身上:特朗普。

    在上周的听证会上,参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会主席兰德·保罗直接抛出了对福奇的指控,福奇曾是美国国家过敏和传染病研究所所长。

    “公开场合,安东尼·福奇宣扬病毒自然起源的理论,”这位肯塔基州共和党人说,“但私下里,他清楚大量证据表明病毒源自实验室。”

    但如果私下和公开场合对新冠疫情发表不同言论、无视收到的证据是如此严重的罪行,保罗或许应该审视一下特朗普的过往表现。

    早在2020年9月,鲍勃·伍德沃德就报道称,特朗普在疫情早期也做过类似的事。CNN当时的时间线清晰展现了这一点。

    2020年2月7日,特朗普告诉伍德沃德,新冠病毒“比你经历过的任何流感都要致命得多”。但当月晚些时候,他将该病毒比作流感,甚至称流感的死亡率更高,还补充说“美国民众面临的风险仍然非常低”。

    特朗普随后在3月19日承认,他决定在公开评论中淡化病毒的威胁。

    “我一直想淡化它的严重性,”他说,“我现在仍然想淡化它,因为我不想制造恐慌。”

    伍德沃德的书中还详细描述了特朗普早在疫情初期就收到了助手发出的大量警告信号,尽管他随后在公开场合多次淡化病毒的威胁。伍德沃德报道称,早在1月28日,特朗普的副国家安全顾问就曾表示,该病毒可能和1918年流感大流行一样严重,那场大流行导致多达5000万人死亡。

    上周,保罗在MS NOW节目中被问及是否也对特朗普的这些行为感到担忧。

    他没有直接回答这个问题,反而称福奇更严重的罪行是监督了对从事危险研究的外国实验室的资助。保罗和其他人猜测,美国资助的“功能获得性”研究可能促成了新冠疫情的爆发,尽管这从未得到证实。

    但值得注意的是,2017年特朗普首届政府期间,奥巴马时期对功能获得性研究的资助禁令被解除了。

    共和党人批评福奇在上周的听证会上援引第五修正案,密苏里州参议员乔希·霍利称“没有一个诚实的人会援引第五修正案”。但特朗普在2022年的一桩民事案件中也援引了数百次第五修正案。

    (福奇援引第五修正案的情况略有不同,因为他在2025年1月被即将卸任的总统乔·拜登赦免。但专家告诉CNN,福奇仍可能在赦免范围之外面临一些潜在的刑事责任。福奇还称保罗曾试图诱使他作伪证。)

    共和党人还称福奇在之前关于功能获得性研究的证词中作伪证。特朗普不仅在公开场合难以如实陈述——而共和党人不愿就此追究他的责任——2022年一名联邦法官还认定,特朗普签署了包含他明知是虚假的选民欺诈指控的法律文件。

    一些右翼人士尖锐批评福奇研发了新冠疫苗,称其危险且未经过充分测试,甚至可能比新冠本身更危险(这一说法是错误的)。但当然,这款疫苗是作为“曲速行动”项目的一部分研发的,该项目正是由特朗普发起的。

    最后,许多共和党人将过度严格的新冠封锁归咎于福奇。但特朗普也曾有过支持关停社会活动的时候。事实上,疫情早期,这位总统曾批评佐治亚州共和党州长布莱恩·坎普在2020年春季试图过快重启经济。

    并非所有这些例子都能直接类比。福奇的职责与特朗普不同,鉴于他的专业背景,他本应更有责任确保科学结论的准确性。他倡导封锁的时间也比特朗普晚得多。

    但就六年前美国新冠应对工作的失败程度而言,似乎有必要追问,负责领导应对工作的政治人士是否也对此负有责任。

    例如,如果疫苗真的如此危险,那么除了福奇之外,人们也理应审视特朗普及其首届政府团队在研发和批准疫苗过程中做出的决策。

    如果早期的新冠防疫指南正受到严格审查,那么无视特朗普在疫情期间发表的诸多矛盾、虚假甚至怪异的言论(还记得“注射消毒剂”的言论吗)就显得很奇怪了,当时美国民众正基于这些言论做出关乎生死的决策。

    但一场真正全面、不带政治偏见的新冠应对工作复盘显然不太可能实现。

    Trump did many of the things Republicans criticize Fauci for

    2026-08-07T04:01:29.159Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/07/politics/fauci-trump-republicans

    After years of criticism, Republicans are bringing the heat in their longstanding efforts to target former health official Dr. Anthony Fauci.

    A Senate committee voted Thursday along party lines to hold him in contempt of Congress after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination at a hearing last week. The Justice Department must now decide whether to charge Fauci, which seems quite possible given how politicized the department has become under President Donald Trump.

    But targeting Fauci — some six years after the Covid pandemic began — is also a selective exercise for Republicans.

    And that’s because many of the offenses he stands accused of could potentially be lodged at the man who ran the first 10 months of the government’s Covid response from the most powerful perch: Trump.

    At the hearing last week, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Rand Paul jumped right into his allegations against Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

    “Publicly, Anthony Fauci promoted the theory that the virus arose naturally,” the Kentucky Republican said, “while privately he was well aware of a mountain of evidence suggesting the virus originated in the lab.”

    But if saying different things privately and publicly about Covid and failing to heed the evidence you’ve received is such a stark offense, Paul might want to have a gander at Trump’s track record.

    Back in September 2020, Bob Woodward reported that Trump had done much the same thing early in the pandemic. CNN’s timeline from back then lays it bare.

    Trump told Woodward on February 7, 2020, that Covid was “more deadly than even your strenuous flus.” But later that month, he likened the virus to the flu and even said the flu had a higher fatality rate, adding that “the risk to the American people remains very low.”

    Trump went on to acknowledge on March 19 that he had decided to minimize the virus in his public comments.

    “I wanted to always play it down,” he said. “I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”

    Woodward’s book also detailed some massive warning signs Trump received from his aides very early on, even as he would go on to repeatedly downplay the virus in public. As early as January 28, Trump’s deputy national security adviser said the virus could be as bad as the influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed as many as 50 million people, Woodward reported.

    Last week, Paul was asked on MS NOW whether he was also concerned about these issues with Trump.

    He didn’t directly answer the question, instead suggesting Fauci’s bigger offense was overseeing funding of foreign labs that do dangerous research. Paul and others have speculated the US-funded “gain-of-function” research might have contributed to the coronavirus outbreak, though it’s never been proven.

    But it’s worth noting that under the first Trump administration in 2017, an Obama-era moratorium on funding gain-of-function research was lifted.

    Republicans have criticized Fauci for invoking the Fifth Amendment at his hearing last week, with Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri saying that “no honest person pleads the Fifth”. But Trump in a 2022 civil case also invoked the Fifth hundreds of times.

    (Fauci’s invocation of the Fifth is somewhat different, in that he was pardoned by outgoing President Joe Biden in January 2025. But experts told CNN that Fauci still might have had some potential criminal liability outside the bounds of that pardon. Fauci also claimed Paul would try to get him to commit perjury.)

    Republicans have also suggested Fauci committed perjury in his prior testimony about gain-of-function research. Trump not only struggles mightily to tell the truth publicly — which Republicans are loath to hold him accountable for — but a federal judge in 2022 found Trump signed legal documents containing voter fraud claims that he knew were false.

    Some on the right have sharply criticized Fauci for the creation of Covid vaccines that they contend were dangerous and untested and possibly even more dangerous than Covid (which is false). But of course, that vaccine was created as part of a program, Operation Warp Speed, that was launched by Trump.

    And finally, many Republicans have blamed Fauci for overzealous Covid lockdowns. But there was also a time when Trump supported shutting down society. In fact, early in the pandemic, the president criticized Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for trying to open up too quickly in the spring of 2020.

    Not all of these examples are apples-to-apples. Fauci’s duties differed from Trump’s, and there was more of an onus on him to get the science right, given his expertise. He also advocated lockdowns much later into the pandemic than Trump did.

    But to the extent the nation’s Covid response went poorly six years ago, it would seem important to ask whether the political folks in charge of running it also had something to do with it.

    If the vaccine was so dangerous, for example, it would stand to reason people would be scrutinizing the decisions of Trump and others in his first administration in forging it and getting it approved, besides just Fauci.

    And if early Covid guidance is under the microscope, it seems weird to ignore the many contradictions and false and even bizarre statements about the virus (remember the bleach?) coming from Trump at a time when Americans were making life-and-death decisions about what they should do.

    But a true, broad, apolitical review of the Covid response apparently just isn’t in the cards.

    美国田纳西州共和党参议员玛莎·布莱克本周四晚间在共和党初选中轻松获胜,这场初选是为了接替即将卸任的田纳西州州长比尔·李。
    拿下提名后,布莱克本有望成为这座“志愿之州”的下一任州长——该州自2006年以来从未选出过民主党籍州长。
    2019年起担任州长的李已任满两届,无法寻求连任。他上一次连任是以64.9%对32.9%的优势击败民主党挑战者、商人兼医生杰森·马丁。

    值得注意的是,李并未在这场三方角逐的共和党初选中背书任何人,但他在布莱克本宣布参选时表示,两人关系密切。
    “我和玛莎相识多年,她曾在国会和田纳西州议会担任我的代表。我很自豪我们州有这么优秀的人参选州长,”李对当地媒体说道。
    布莱克本则承诺将继续聚焦共和党在华盛顿特区共和党纲领中的核心议题。
    她将移民问题列为其中之一。
    “作为州长,我将驱逐非法移民,阻止毒品和毒资流入。我们将打击贩毒集团,限制向毒品天堂转移现金,并直击罪犯和非法移民的痛处——从他们的钱包下手,”布莱克本在一段竞选视频中说道。
    布莱克本还承诺阻止中国收购田纳西州土地,她在一段走红的广告中砸碎了一个幸运饼干,以此强调自己的这一承诺。

    “不用靠幸运饼干也能想明白。在田纳西州,我们要阻止共产党中国,保护田纳西州的土地,”她说道。
    前总统唐纳德·特朗普也未在这场竞选中背书,他表示自己与布莱克本的一位挑战者、田纳西州共和党众议员约翰·罗斯有交情。

    罗斯是第八代农民,也是IT认证公司Transcender Corp.的百万富翁创始人,自2019年起在田纳西州议会任职。在州长竞选活动中,他将自己定位为本土候选人,专注于为当地问题寻找本地解决方案。
    “我知道在田纳西州一切皆有可能,因为我亲身经历过。现在,我请求你们给我一个机会,为所有田纳西人带来机遇,”罗斯在一段竞选视频中说道。
    在其个人网站上,罗斯重点介绍了五大核心议题,包括教育、基础设施、医疗保健、能源以及经济和社区发展。
    第三位候选人、州众议员蒙蒂·弗里茨则以更激进的小政府纲领参选。

    “我的首要任务是把更多钱留在你们的口袋、钱包和国家银行里,而不是送到纳什维尔,”弗里茨在一段竞选视频中说道。
    在其个人网站上,弗里茨宣扬的立场包括缩减田纳西州预算规模、保护公民权利不受日益扩张的政府权力侵犯,以及增加家长在教育中的话语权。
    弗里茨今年早些时候因竞选言论引发争议,他呼吁禁止清真寺和其他“异教宗教”。

    “伊斯兰教与其他宗教略有不同,它不一定是一种宗教,而是一场政治运动,”弗里茨说道。“如果你不服从,就可能被处决。我认为伊斯兰教与美国和田纳西州宪法都格格不入,”弗里茨对当地媒体说道。

    Conservative firebrand who went viral with anti-CCP ad survives key primary

    The GOP senator defeated Rep John Rose and State Rep Monty Fritts to secure the GOP nomination for 2026

    U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., cruised to victory in a GOP primary on Thursday evening in a race to replace outgoing Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee.

    With the nomination in tow, Blackburn is likely to become the next governor in the Volunteer State — a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to its top executive role since 2006.

    Lee, who has served in the role since 2019, is term-limited and cannot seek re-election. He last won reelection in a 64.9% to 32.9% victory over Democratic challenger Jason Martin, a businessman and doctor.

    Notably, Lee did not endorse anyone in the three-way Republican race for the 2026 nomination but noted that he had a close relationship with Blackburn when she announced her candidacy.

    “I’ve been friends with Marsha for a long time, and she served as my congressman and representative in the General Assembly. I’m proud we have really good people running for governor in this state,” Lee told local outlets.

    Blackburn, for her own part, promised to continue focusing on issues that Republicans have made centerpieces to the GOP platform in Washington, D.C.

    She highlighted immigration as one such issue.

    “As governor, I’ll deport illegals, stop the flow of drugs and drug money. We will crack down on Cartels, restrict cash transfers to drug havens and hit criminals and illegals where it hurts — in their wallets,” Blackburn said in a campaign video.

    Blackburn also promised to prevent China from buying up Tennessee land, punctuating her commitment with a viral ad where she crushed a fortune cookie.

    “It doesn’t take a fortune cookie to figure it out. Here in Tennessee we’re going to stop communist China and protect Tennessee land,” she remarked.

    President Donald Trump also did not issue an endorsement in the race, saying that he had ties to one of Blackburn’s challengers: Rep. John Rose, R-Tenn.

    Rose, an 8th-generation farmer and the millionaire founder of Transcender Corp., an IT certification company, has served in the Tennessee legislature since 2019. In his gubernatorial campaign, he pitched himself as a homegrown candidate focused on local solutions to local problems.

    “I know that anything is achievable in Tennessee because I have lived it. Now, I’m asking for you to give me the chance to bring opportunity to all Tennesseans,” Rose said in a campaign video.

    On his website, Rose highlighted five key areas of focus, including education, infrastructure, healthcare, energy and economic and community development.

    A third candidate, State Rep. Monty Fritts, had run on a more aggressive, small-government platform.

    “My number one priority is leaving more money in your pockets, in your purses and in your country bankrolls rather than sending it to Nashville,” Fritts said in a campaign video.

    On his website, Fritts touted positions like shrinking the size of Tennessee’s budget, protecting citizen rights against encroaching government power and increasing parent input in education.

    Fritts attracted controversy earlier this year when, as part of his campaign, he called for a ban on mosques and other “pagan religions.”

    “Islam is a little different story than perhaps other religions are, in that it’s not necessarily a religion; it’s a political movement,” Fritts said. “It’s that movement that, if you don’t submit, perhaps you are executed. I feel that Islam is incongruent with both our U.S. and Tennessee Constitution,” Fritts told local outlets.

    田纳西州共和党众议员安迪·奥格尔斯于周四晚间在党内初选中被共和党挑战者查理·哈彻击败。哈彻是一名农场主,曾任田纳西州农业专员。

    尽管这场初选在2026年初选季开始时并非备受关注的赛事,但它却成为共和党内部更大规模势力博弈的缩影。从唐纳德·特朗普总统与田纳西州共和党州长比尔·李之间的背书分歧,到数百万美元围绕环保政策涌入该选区,这场竞选的关注度远超其选区范围。

    “明日投资联盟”超级政治行动委员会已斥资约200万美元反对奥格尔斯,并支持哈彻。该组织今年已募资670万美元,奥格尔斯的相关支出占该委员会本选举周期总支出的相当大比例。

    在奥格尔斯看来,这是一次意在向共和党人表明:当议员试图收回可再生能源的政府资助时,将会面临何种后果。

    与其他许多共和党人一样,奥格尔斯呼吁缩减拜登政府时期推出的可再生能源投资项目。

    “当一个团体在共和党初选中斥资约200万美元时,这就能说明他们从政府补贴中获利多少,而他们对政府福利被取消感到不满,”奥格尔斯在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。

    福克斯新闻数字频道对联邦选举委员会备案文件的审查发现,该超级政治行动委员会的资金来自克里斯·拉尔森——这位总部位于加州的亿万富翁是瑞波公司董事长。据其官网介绍,瑞波是一家为企业提供加密货币解决方案的金融科技公司。

    拉尔森也是民主党常客,他已为卡玛拉·哈里斯失败的总统竞选活动捐款5,444,975美元。

    奥格尔斯认为,除了反对政府支持的可再生能源计划之外,他与特朗普的密切关系也是自己成为目标的原因。

    “这是因为我与总统关系密切,因为我直言不讳。坦率地说,是因为我在这些问题上讲话直截了当,”奥格尔斯说。

    就哈彻本人而言,这位五代务农的田纳西州奶农将自己塑造成一个不受政治圈子和利益纠葛束缚的人。

    “我认为华盛顿缺少一些东西:缺乏农民的常识,缺乏职业道德。我的优势之一是解决问题、寻求解决方案、寻求合作,并支持特朗普政府和议长约翰逊的议程,”哈彻在一段竞选视频中说道。

    值得注意的是,田纳西州共和党州长于周二晚晚些时候公开支持哈彻,理由是两人之间的私人关系。

    “他曾担任我的农业专员;我了解查理,我了解他的保守主义价值观,以及他对我们国家的热爱。查理从第一天起就一直站在特朗普总统一边,”李在一段视频中说道。

    已背书奥格尔斯的特朗普在初选前再次表达了对这位保守派激进议员的支持。

    “安迪将被真正铭记为你见过的最优秀的议员之一。他太棒了,”特朗普说。“每当我们需要他,每当我需要他的时候,安迪总会在那里。他帮了大忙,他激励了国会里的很多人,”特朗普今年早些时候在Truth Social上的一篇帖子中说道。

    Trump-backed incumbent loses primary after super PAC bankrolled by Dems meddled in race

    August 6, 2026 10:17pm EDT / Fox News

    The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition super PAC spent roughly $2M opposing Ogles over his stance against renewable energy funding

    By Leo Briceno, Fox News

    Key Trump ally in Congress says renewable energy companies have put a target on his back

    Rep. Andy Ogles believes his advocacy against energy subsidies have invited millions in opposition spending in his upcoming primary.

    Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., was defeated in a primary challenge on Thursday evening by Republican challenger Charlie Hatcher, a farmer and the state’s former commissioner of agriculture.

    Although the primary was far from a top-watched contest coming into the 2026 primaries, it served as a microcosm of larger forces at play in the Republican Party. From a break in endorsements between President Donald Trump and Tennessee’sRepublican Governor Bill Lee to millions being pumped into the district over environmental policy, the race attracted attention well beyond its borders.

    The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition super PAC had spent roughly $2 million opposing Ogles and supporting Hatcher. The group has raised $6.7 million this year, making Ogles a sizable portion of their spending this cycle.

    The way that Ogles sees it, it’s an attempt to show Republicans what happens when lawmakers attempt to claw back government funding for renewable energy sources.

    Like many other Republicans, Ogles has called to scale back renewable energy investments made under the Biden Administration.

    “When you have a group spending roughly $2 million in a Republican primary, that tells you how much money they’re making off of government subsidies, and they’re upset that the government welfare has been taken away from them,” Ogles told Fox News Digital in an interview.

    A Fox News Digital review of FEC filings discovered that the super PAC is bankrolled by Chris Larsen, the California-based billionaire chairman of Ripple, a financial technology company that, according to its website, offers crypto solutions for businesses.

    Larsen is also a frequent Democratic donor, having contributed $5,444,975 to support Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign.

    More than just his opposition to government-backed renewable energy initiatives, Ogles thinks it’s his proximity to Trump that has made him a target.

    “It’s because I’m close to the president. It is because I am outspoken. And quite frankly, it is because I speak plainly on these issues,” Ogles said.

    For his own part, Hatcher, a fifth-generation Tennessee dairy farmer, has pitched himself as someone unencumbered by the political scene and ensnaring interests.

    “I think there’s something missing in Washington. There’s a lack of farmer common sense. There’s a lack of work ethic. One of my strengths is problem-solving, looking for solutions, looking for collaborations and supporting the Trump Administration and Speaker Johnson on their agenda,” Hatcher said in a campaign video.

    Notably, Tennessee’s Republican governor put his weight behind Hatcher late on Tuesday evening, citing a personal relationship between them.

    “He served as my commissioner of agriculture; I know Charlie. I know his conservative values and how much he loves our country. Charlie has stood with President Trump since day one,” Lee said in a video.

    Trump, who has endorsed Ogles, reaffirmed his support for the conservative firebrand ahead of the primary.

    “Andy will be really enshrined as one of the best congressmen that you’ll ever see. He’s just fantastic,” Trump said. “Andy has always been there when we needed him and when I needed him. He’s been a great help. He’s been a source of inspiration to a lot of people in Congress,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social earlier this year.

    Having captured the Republican nomination, Hatcher now advances to a general election he’s heavily favored to win on Nov. 3. He won re-election in 2024 in a 56.9% to 39.5% victory over Maryam Abolfazli.

    纽约市民主社会主义派市长佐赫兰·曼达尼周四多次回避有关报道所称的、将于今年秋季发起针对纽约富人和企业增税的公众施压运动的问题。

    据《纽约邮报》报道,曼达尼计划在劳动节后为相关提案争取公众支持,这些提案与霍楚尔州长2026年初否决的内容类似。据报道,这场造势活动预计将于2027年1月纽约州议会重返奥尔巴尼以及霍楚尔今年秋季的连任竞选活动前展开。

    在接受福克斯5纽约台采访时,曼达尼多次拒绝回答有关这场潜在竞选活动的问题,随后仅表示相关讨论只会在11月选举后进行。

    当被问及是否就报道所称的这场竞选活动与霍楚尔沟通过时,曼达尼没有直接回答,反而借此机会吹嘘他们通过政策举措为纽约市民新增了2000个免费托儿席位。

    “州长和我一直保持沟通,坦率地说,我很感谢她的合作,因为如果没有州长,我们就无法携手宣布已有超过5000名纽约市民申请这2000个免费托儿席位,”他说。“我对此感到非常兴奋,而且我们还将把名额扩大到1.2万个,后续还有更多工作要推进。”

    随后记者追问曼达尼,美国民主社会主义者是否会在今年秋季加入这场潜在的竞选活动,但他再次没有直接回答,称自己的重点仍放在当下。

    “我现在的关注点是当下,也就是8月,确保我们所做的一切都能在热浪中保障纽约市民的安全,并为新学年做好准备,”曼达尼说。“很多关于11月之后的讨论,我认为都应该留到11月之后再进行。”

    “所以你不打算在11月选举前发起向富人征税的竞选活动?”记者问道。

    “我和州长以及我的团队目前讨论的都是当下的事情,之后总会有时间讨论那些后续的话题,”曼达尼说道。

    据报道,这场竞选活动将重启曼达尼此前提出的通过增税填补该市数十亿美元预算缺口的提案,而霍楚尔此前已否决了该方案。曼达尼此前的计划包括将年收入100万美元及以上申报者的个人所得税税率上调,他预计此举每年可带来约30亿美元的收入,同时还将提高企业税率。

    作为替代方案,霍楚尔和曼达尼共同推动了美国首个第二套房税,即对某些高价值第二套房征收年度附加费,该法案于2026年5月获得通过。州和市政府官员预计,这项措施每年可带来约5亿美元的收入。

    曼达尼还表示,他在2026年5月提出的行政预算填补了其政府所称的120亿美元遗留预算缺口,他将此归功于大幅节省开支、新增投资、与奥尔巴尼方面的合作以及包括第二套房税在内的新税收收入。

    New York City democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeatedly sidestepped questions Thursday about reported plans to launch a public pressure campaign this fall pushing tax hikes on wealthy New Yorkers and corporations.

    Mamdani reportedly plans to build public support after Labor Day for similar proposals that Gov. Kathy Hochul previously rejected in early 2026. The reported push is expected ahead of the New York Legislature’s return to Albany in January 2027 and Hochul’s re-election campaign this fall, according to The New York Post.

    During an interview with Fox 5 New York, Mamdani repeatedly declined to answer questions about the potential campaign before later saying such discussions would only come after the November election.

    Asked whether he had spoken with Hochul about the reported campaign, Mamdani did not answer directly, instead using the opportunity to tout the opening of 2,000 free child care seats for New Yorkers through their policy efforts.

    “The governor and I are in constant communication and, frankly, I appreciate her partnership because if it wasn’t for the governor, then we wouldn’t have been able to stand together to announce that we had more than 5,000 New Yorkers come forward to apply for these 2,000 free child care seats,” he said. “And I’m so excited about that, and the fact that we’re going to expand to 12,000, and the work that’s still to come.”

    The reporter then pressed Mamdani on whether the Democratic Socialists of America would join the potential campaign this fall, but he again declined to answer directly, saying his focus remains on the present.

    “My focus right now is where we are, which is August, and ensuring that everything that we’re doing is keeping New Yorkers safe amidst a heat wave and preparing for the school year,” Mamdani said. “A lot of the conversation about what comes after November, I think, is a conversation for what comes after November.”

    “So you don’t plan to launch a campaign to tax the rich before the November election?” the reporter asked.

    “The conversations I’ve been having with the governor and with my team are about the here and now and there will always be time for the conversations that come after that,” Mamdani said.

    The reported campaign would revive a previous push by Mamdani to close the city’s multibillion-dollar budget gap through tax increases, a proposal Hochul previously rejected. Mamdani’s earlier plan called for raising the city’s personal income tax rate on filers earning $1 million or more, a move he projected could generate roughly $3 billion annually, while also increasing corporate tax rates.

    As an alternative, Hochul and Mamdani jointly advanced the state’s first pied-à-terre tax, an annual surcharge on certain high-value second homes, which passed in May 2026. State and city officials have projected the measure could raise about $500 million annually.

    Mamdani also said his May 2026 executive budget closed what his administration described as an inherited $12 billion budget gap, crediting aggressive savings, new investments, his partnership with Albany and new tax revenue, including the pied-à-terre tax.

    Mamdani’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
