  • 国际特赦组织批美以俄领袖为“掠食者”

    （伦敦法新电）国际特赦组织批评美国总统特朗普、俄罗斯总统普京和以色列总理内坦亚胡为“掠食者”，指他们试图构建一个“掠夺性的世界秩序”，而其他国家大多过于软弱，不敢阻止他们。

    国际特赦组织秘书长卡拉马德周二（4月21日）在伦敦发布年度报告。报告称，美俄以领袖否定了二战以来的多边体系，推崇一个“愿景不受道德约束”、“由战争而非外交与规则治理”的世界秩序。

    她警告，这份报告发布之际正值“充满挑战的时刻”，过去80年的建设成果可能被摧毁。她说：“2025年全年，特朗普、普京及内坦亚胡等人通过大规模国际破坏、压制和暴力，追求经济和政治霸权。”

    她指出，这些领导人攻击普世人权的根基，而大多数政府，尤其是欧洲政府，选择绥靖而非对抗这些“掠夺者”。中东不断升级的冲突只是这种新的掠夺性世界秩序的最新例证，而这种秩序建立在通过种族主义意识形态而去人性化的世界观之上。

    报告聚焦以色列在加沙的行动，指世界上最强大的各国政府未能采取切实有效的行动来制止种族灭绝，也未能终结以色列的非法占领和种族隔离。

    卡拉马德说，面对这些“恶霸与掠夺者”，几乎所有世界领导人“都表现得懦弱”。她称此为“懦夫时代”。

    她说，中国不在“掠食者”名单，因为它“谨慎得多”，但她指出中国支持缅甸军政府，并涉及支持俄罗斯。

    美以伊冲突持续逾七周，导致数百艘船只滞留波斯湾。联合国旗下国际海事组织（IMO）正制定疏散方案，准备在局势一旦出现明显缓和迹象时，安排这些船只分批驶离受困海域。

    路透社报道，国际海事组织（IMO）秘书长多明格斯（Arsenio Dominguez）星期二（4月21日）在“新加坡海事周”场边说，这些船只自美以开始打击伊朗以来，已受困七个多星期。

    多明格斯强调，这项计划只有在局势出现明显降温迹象时才能启动。目前讨论中的细节包括船只离开的先后顺序，其中船员被困时间的长短将是考量因素之一。

    他指出，任何通行都将遵循早已确立的“分道通航制”（Traffic Separation Scheme），这条航线最初由伊朗和阿曼提出，并于1968年由国际海事组织采纳。

    他还说，伊朗过去几周已建立一套通行安排，其中包括一条靠近其海岸的特定航线，并在某些情况下收取费用。

    国际海事组织目前正与包括伊朗和阿曼在内的沿岸国家，以及各船旗国保持联系，以最终敲定这份疏散方案。

  • 优步被认定对触摸乘客大腿内侧的司机行为承担责任


    2026年4月21日 / 美国东部时间凌晨4:54 / 美联社 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    北卡罗来纳州陪审团周一裁定，网约车巨头优步需对一名司机的行为承担责任。该司机在一名乘客从其车前排座位下车时，抓了她的大腿内侧，并询问能否“留她陪自己”。

    原告律师之一埃琳·赫德表示，夏洛特的联邦陪审团判给原告5000美元损害赔偿金。

    这起所谓的标志性案件是全美多个司法管辖区针对优步提起的一系列性侵诉讼中的一起，也是第三起进入庭审的案件。今年2月，亚利桑那州的一个联邦陪审团判令优步向一名女性支付850万美元，该女子称其一名司机在使用该平台接单的行程中强奸了她。去年，加利福尼亚州的一个陪审团认定优步对一名乘客指称的性侵事件不承担责任。

    优步在一份电子邮件声明中提到，北卡罗来纳州这起案件的赔偿金额相对较低，且陪审团认定该行为构成殴打而非性侵。

    优步在声明中称：“陪审团此次的裁决应该能让这些案件回归理性，因为此次赔偿金额仅为此前索赔要求的极小一部分。”该公司补充称，有充分理由提起上诉，因为它认为陪审团在责任认定问题上收到了错误的指示。

    美联社通常不会公开指称遭受性虐待的人士的姓名，除非他们通过律师表示同意或主动公开身份。

    赫德表示，这一裁决对其他原告来说是个好兆头，并指出是优步而非原告选择将北卡罗来纳州这起案件作为一系列未决诉讼的测试案。

    “他们原本以为接手这个案子就能赢，”赫德说。“他们挑选了所有标准——他们选定了这个案子，想要审理这个案子。但陪审团相信了原告，他们输了。”

    这些诉讼源于多年来对优步安全记录的批评，包括乘客和司机报告的数千起性侵犯事件。由于优步司机被归类为零工——即合同工而非公司雇员，该平台长期以来一直主张无需为他们的不当行为承担责任。

    负责审理这批诉讼的法官、美国地区法院法官查尔斯·R·布雷耶裁定，根据北卡罗来纳州法律，优步是“公共承运人”，因此需对该司机的行为承担责任。布雷耶表示，优步通过广告以及对网约车行程和乘客安全的管控，向公众宣称自己是交通服务提供商。他说，北卡罗来纳州本可以像佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州那样，明确将优步和其他网约车提供商从公共承运人责任中豁免，但该州并未这样做。

    赫德表示，这意味着北卡罗来纳州的陪审团只需判定袭击是否发生即可。

    优步称，该司机否认触碰过原告。该公司还表示，原告从未向执法部门报告过这起事件，公司直到三年后诉讼提起时才得知此事。

    赫德表示，原告未向执法部门报案并不意味着事件没有发生。赫德说，在从周三开始、周一结束的庭审中，陪审团听取了司机、原告以及证实原告说法的原告朋友的证词。

    总部位于旧金山的美国加利福尼亚北区联邦地区法院法官布雷耶，还将审理另外两起针对优步的性侵测试案庭审。下一场庭审定于9月中旬在旧金山进行。

    Uber found liable for actions of driver who grabbed passenger’s inner thigh

    April 21, 2026 / 4:54 AM EDT / AP / CBS News

    Rideshare giant Uber is liable for the behavior of a driver who grabbed the inner thigh of a passenger as she was leaving the front seat of his car and asked if he could “keep her” with him, a jury in North Carolina found Monday.

    The federal jury in Charlotte awarded the plaintiff $5,000 in damages, said Ellyn Hurd, one of the plaintiff’s lawyers.

    The so-called bellwether case is part of a broader group of sexual assault lawsuits filed against Uber in multiple jurisdictions around the country and is the third to go to trial. In February, a federal jury in Arizona ordered Uber to pay $8.5 million to a woman who said one of its drivers raped her during a trip using the platform. Last year, a California jury found Uber not liable for the alleged assault of a rider.

    Uber, in an emailed statement, took note of the relatively small financial judgment in the North Carolina case and of the jury finding that battery had occurred and not sexual assault.

    “The jury’s award here should further bring these cases back to reality, as it represents a tiny fraction of previous demands,” the Uber statement said, adding that the company has strong grounds for appeal because it believes the jury was incorrectly instructed on the question of liability.

    The Associated Press doesn’t typically name people who have said they were sexually abused unless they have given consent through their attorneys or come forward publicly.

    Hurd said the verdict bodes well for other plaintiffs, noting that Uber, not the plaintiffs, selected the North Carolina case as a test case for the broader group of pending lawsuits.

    “This was a case that they thought going in that they were going to win,” Hurd said. “They picked all the criteria – this is the case that they picked, that they wanted to try. And the jury believed the plaintiff and they lost.”

    The lawsuits follow years of criticism of Uber’s safety record, including thousands of incidents of sexual assault reported by both passengers and drivers. Because Uber drivers are categorized as gig workers – working as contractors, rather than company employees – the platform has long maintained it’s not liable for their misconduct.

    The judge presiding over the group of lawsuits, U.S. District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer, ruled that Uber was a “common carrier” under North Carolina law and was thus liable for the driver’s action. Breyer said Uber holds itself out to the public as a transportation provider through its advertising and the control it exerts over Uber rides and the safety of its passengers. North Carolina could have explicitly exempted Uber and other rideshare providers from its common carrier liability, as Florida and Texas have, but did not, he said.

    Hurd said that means the North Carolina jury only had to decide whether the attack happened.

    The driver denied touching the plaintiff, Uber said. The company said the plaintiff never reported the incident to law enforcement and it only learned of it when the lawsuit was filed three years later.

    Hurd said just because the plaintiff didn’t report it to law enforcement doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. During the trial, which started Wednesday and wrapped up Monday, the jury heard testimony from the driver, the plaintiff and friends of the plaintiff who corroborated her story, Hurd said.

    Breyer, who is based in San Francisco in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, is due to hear two more sexual assault test case trials against Uber. The next is scheduled for mid-September in San Francisco.

    油价未反映真实冲击 专家：若战事持续库存月内“见底”

    全球一些顶尖能源分析师警告，由于市场仍相信战事可能很快结束，当前国际油价尚未充分反映霍尔木兹海峡关闭所带来的“史上最大规模”供应冲击。

    彭博社报道，自伊朗战争爆发以来，霍尔木兹海峡实际上处于关闭状态。托克集团首席经济师拉希姆（Saad Rahim）星期二（4月21日）在瑞士西部城市洛桑举行的《金融时报》全球大宗商品峰会上指出，这场冲突迄今已导致约10亿桶石油供应损失，若战事持续，损失规模可能扩大至15亿桶。

    贡沃尔集团分析主管拉塞尔（Frederic Lasserre）则警告，若战争再持续一个月，石油市场将触及“罐底”（tank bottoms），即库存见底。

    布伦特原油期货自开战以来大幅波动，一度升至每桶近120美元（约153新元），随后因和平谈判前景而回落；周二油价在95美元附近交易，部分反映出市场对冲突可能很快结束的预期。

    拉希姆认为，即使达成和平协议，石油流向恢复正常也需要时间，目前市场认知与现实之间存在明显脱节。

    就在他发布并随后删除一张将自己比作耶稣基督的照片一天后，唐纳德·特朗普总统在椭圆形办公室的办公桌前，对着镜头直接诵读圣经。

    总统上周录制了这段两分半钟的经文诵读内容，即《历代志下》7:11-22，这场诵读将于周二晚间在圣经博物馆以及通过基于信仰的Pure Flix流媒体服务在网上播出。

    作为“美国诵读圣经”活动的一部分，特朗普是本周近500名诵读经文的参与者之一。该活动为期一周，主办方将其描述为对美国建国250周年的“精神庆祝”。这项活动由一个基督教非营利组织发起，旨在呼吁美国民众及政界领导人重视圣经教义的必要性。

    参与者包括特朗普、他的幕僚长苏西·瓦尔斯、国防部长皮特·赫格斯塞思以及国务卿马可·卢比奥等人，他们将从《创世记》读到《启示录》。部分参与者将亲自到场在圣经博物馆进行诵读，而特朗普等其他人则将进行虚拟诵读。

    特朗普诵读的这段经文意义重大——数十年来，它一直是美国及全球基督教右翼的集结口号。

    其中一段经文写道：“我的民，就是称为我名下的子民，若是自卑、祷告、寻求我的面、转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地。”

    邦尼·庞兹曾是政治顾问，如今作为“基督徒参与”组织的创始人兼主席组织了本周的诵读活动。她和团队原本就为某位民选官员预留了这段经文。她表示，自己曾祈祷特朗普愿意诵读这段经文。

    “我一直和一小群人一起祈祷，祈求主能促成此事，让我们的总统能够诵读这段祈祷词，也就是上帝的话语，这样他就能听到我们的呼声，”庞兹在接受CNN采访时说道。

    但这场诵读活动的举办，正值这位总统与美国基督徒之间关系的微妙时刻。特朗普近期发布的一张AI生成社交媒体帖子将他描绘成治愈病人的耶稣，这引发了基督教右翼关键盟友罕见的反对声。总统最终让步，删除了该帖子，并暗示他认为“那是我作为医生的形象，与红十字会有关”。与此同时，他与教皇利奥十四世的紧张关系不断升级，连日来在社交媒体上批评这位美国籍首位教皇，并明确表示他不会为两人在伊朗战争问题上的公开分歧道歉。

    特朗普在Truth Social社交平台上分享的这张AI生成虚假图片，将他描绘成治愈病人的耶稣。
    唐纳德·特朗普/Truth Social

    这一非同寻常的分歧凸显了部分美国原教旨主义者和福音派信徒的转变，他们开始拥护“让美国再次伟大耶稣”——这一运动近年来被他的部分追随者所倡导，将特朗普奉为“天选之子”。

    这位总统很少去教堂做礼拜，在今年的全国祈祷早餐会上抨击政治对手，还曾因带着圣经拍合影而遭到批评。他在第二任期的大部分时间里都在打破政教分离的壁垒，推行信仰相关举措，推动了政府运作、文化和政策层面的系统性宗教复兴。

    在庞兹看来，特朗普在白宫和政府各部门中安置信仰人士的做法表明，“他的内心对主真的十分柔软和开放”。

    “他非常真诚、实在，不管我们有时是否喜欢他说的话、做的事。如果他不相信这件事，他就不会参与（经文诵读），”她说道。

    她淡化了此次诵读活动与特朗普删除的帖子之间的关联，指出他的参与计划早在帖子发布前就已敲定，但同时表示，他删除帖子的决定“令人动容”。

    锡拉丘兹大学麦克斯韦尔学院历史与政治学教授玛格丽特·苏珊·汤普森告诉CNN，许多福音派基督徒将这段经文视为“呼吁上帝保佑国家的正当理由”。

    庞兹利用自己从政时期的人脉，通过白宫信仰办公室主任詹妮弗·科恩、该办公室高级顾问、福音派传道人葆拉·怀特-凯恩以及国内政策委员会主任文斯·黑利，向特朗普以及他的多名幕僚和内阁成员发出了邀请。她表示，他们“真正领会了我们正在做的事情的愿景，愿意参与其中，并且一直是出色的合作伙伴”。

    “我们只是觉得，如果我们的国家领导人愿意诵读圣经，那让他和我们一起诵读圣经非常重要，”她补充道。

    One day after he posted — then deleted — an image comparing himself to Jesus Christ, President Donald Trump sat at his desk in the Oval Office and read from the Bible directly to a camera.

    The president recorded his two-and-a-half-minute passage, 2 Chronicles 7:11-22, last week, and it will be played at the museum and online via the faith-based Pure Flix streaming service Tuesday evening.

    Trump is one of nearly 500 people reading scripture this week as part of “America Reads the Bible,” a weeklong event offering what its organizers describe as a “spiritual celebration” of the country’s 250th anniversary. The effort is led by a Christian nonprofit aimed at engaging the country and its leaders on the need for the Bible’s teachings.

    Participants, which include Trump, his chief of staff Susie Wiles, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others, are reading from the Book of Genesis through the Book of Revelation. Some are doing so via in-person appearances at the Museum of the Bible and others, like Trump, are doing virtual readings.

    The passage Trump is reading is a significant one — and has marked a rallying cry for the Christian right in the US and across the globe for decades.

    It reads in part, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

    Bunni Pounds, a former political consultant who is now organizing this week’s reading as founder and president of Christians Engaged, and her team had saved this passage for an elected official. She said she prayed that Trump would be willing to read it.

    “I’ve just been praying with a small group of people, asking the Lord to move to allow our president to pray this prayer, the words of God that he would hear,” Pounds said in an interview with CNN.

    But the reading comes at a complicated moment for the president’s relationship with American Christians. Trump’s recent AI-generated social media post, which depicted him as Jesus healing a sick person, spurred rare pushback from key allies in the Christian right. The president eventually backed down, deleting the post and suggesting he thought “it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross.” At the same time, he’s ratcheted up tensions with Pope Leo XIV, lobbing criticism at the first American pontiff for days on social media and stating emphatically that he has no plans to apologize as the two publicly disagree over the Iran war.

    This AI-generated fake image shared by President Donald Trump to the social media platform Truth Social shows him depicted as Jesus healing a sick person.

    Donald Trump/Truth Social

    That extraordinary rift has underscored a shift among some American fundamentalists and evangelicals toward embracing a “MAGA Jesus,” a movement invoked by some of his followers in recent years that offers Trump as its “chosen one.”

    The president, an irregular church-goer who lashed out at his political enemies during this year’s National Prayer Breakfast and was once criticized for bringing a Bible to a photo-op, has spent much of his second term chipping away at the wall between church and state, championing faith initiatives that have led to a systematic religious revival within the government’s operations, culture and policy.

    For Pounds, Trump’s installation of people of faith across the White House and administration shows that “his heart is really tender and open towards the Lord.”

    “He’s so authentic and real, whether we like the things he says sometimes and the things we don’t like, that he wouldn’t have done it (participated in the scripture reading) if he didn’t believe it,” she said.

    She downplayed any connection between the reading and Trump’s deleted post, noting that his participation was scheduled prior to the posting — but said that his decision to take it down was “moving.”

    Margaret Susan Thompson, professor of history and political science in the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, told CNN the verse has been seen by many Evangelical Christians as a “justification of calling upon God to bless their nation.”

    Pounds leveraged connections from her time in politics, working with the White House Faith Office Director Jennifer Korn, the office’s senior adviser, the evangelist Paula White-Cain; and Domestic Policy Council Director Vince Haley to extend an invitation to Trump, along with several members of his staff and Cabinet. She said they “really grabbed the vision of what we were doing, wanted to be a part, and have been amazing partners.”

    “We just felt like it was important for the leader of our nation, if he was willing to read the Bible, to read the Bible with us,” she added.

    学界研究基本达成共识：如果美联储希望缩小其在金融市场中的规模，关键在于降低金融机构持有大量现金的必要性。学界人士和部分美联储官员表示，允许银行减少准备金持有量的监管改革是缩表的核心路径，并补充称，美联储调整利率调控工具的使用方式也将有所助益。

    从理论上讲，部分调整可让美联储采取比原本更为宽松的货币政策立场，但目前尚不清楚这一设想将如何落地。

    但放宽要求、促使金融机构减少现金囤积，也可能给整个金融体系带来其他风险。

    莱特森ICAP的分析师在上周末给客户的报告中表示：“我们对过去两个月里（联邦公开市场委员会）关于资产负债表规模的辩论进展感到鼓舞”，并且“各方普遍认为，存在通过监管举措降低基础准备金需求的空间”。

    监管审查

    美联储理事斯蒂芬·米兰在上月发布的一篇研究论文中指出，通过放松流动性监管、调整银行压力测试规则以及推动现有美联储流动性工具的更多使用，美联储规模达6.68万亿美元的资产负债表最多可缩减2万亿美元。

    达拉斯联储主席洛丽·洛根曾是纽约联储央行货币政策操作机制的核心设计者，她在本月初也认同，围绕流动性的规则改革等举措，能够降低准备金规模，为缩表铺平道路。

    准备金作为市场流动性的指标，在美联储资产负债表相关辩论中占据核心地位，因为美联储通过管理准备金水平来实现利率目标。如果准备金紧张，货币市场利率可能开始上升，威胁到美联储对利率目标的管控。如果系统内现金过多，美联储则会减少债券持仓以回笼资金。

    美联储在上一轮缩表周期结束后，目前正处于重建市场流动性的阶段，同时始终牢牢控制着联邦基金目标利率区间，这是其官员高度关注的关键问题。

    2007年至2009年全球金融危机期间，美联储开始定期大规模购买美国国债和抵押贷款支持证券，以稳定金融市场并强化经济刺激措施。此后的资产负债表扩张阶段，伴随了被动缩表以及一套复杂的利率管理工具体系的发展。

    几乎没有专家认为，美联储能够回到沃什最初以理事身份加入美联储时的那种所谓“稀缺准备金”体系。

    有了实质进展

    如果沃什获得参议院确认，近期的这些研究成果将有助于他找到缩表并降息的路径。

    米兰在其论文中提出，缩表本身就是一种经济紧缩手段，因此美联储可以通过降息来形成对冲。

    纽约联储主席约翰·威廉姆斯上月晚些时候对记者表示，鉴于美联储扩表似乎能够降低长期利率、提振经济，“如果缩表，预计将减少经济总需求，推高长期利率，因此作为应对，短期利率可能会小幅下调”。

    “我认为这合乎逻辑，”但他同时表示，目前尚不清楚这一效应在现实中会有多大的可衡量空间。

    不过，即便由沃什主导，任何改革都不太可能快速推进。

    曾在美联储担任高级职员、现为杜克大学研究教授的艾伦·米德表示：“我认为其中一些举措确实具备可行性，但实施起来需要时间。”她称，近期的提议能够减轻美联储为缓解市场压力而购买债券的必要性。

    此外，近期的研究成果还有助于维持当前的充足准备金体系，“但在这个体系中，银行日常的准备金需求会降低，因为它们可以随时从央行获取流动性”，她补充道。

    As Warsh faces hearing, a framework for smaller Fed balance sheet emerges

    • Summary
    • Case for smaller Fed balance sheet rests on regulatory changes
    • Academics, some Fed officials see path for reducing balance sheet
    • Lower Fed holdings could open door to lower interest rates

    April 21 (Reuters) – Kevin Warsh would like to see the Federal Reserve slash its vast bond holdings, but has yet to flesh out just how he would do that if confirmed to be the next ​head of the U.S. central bank, a matter likely to come up in his confirmation hearing on Tuesday before the Senate Banking Committee.

    Meanwhile, in the absence of specifics from ‌Warsh, an effort is underway both in and outside the Fed to provide some intellectual heft for that goal.

    The Week in Breakingviews newsletter offers insights and ideas from Reuters’ global financial commentary team. Sign up here.

    The academic work largely agrees that if the central bank wants a smaller footprint in financial markets, the key is reducing financial institutions’ need to hold large amounts of cash. Academics and some Fed officials say regulatory changes allowing banks to hold less in the form of reserves are the primary path toward getting the balance sheet down, adding that changes ​in how the Fed uses its rate-control toolkit could also help.

    Some modifications could in theory allow the Fed to pursue an easier stance of monetary policy than would ​otherwise be the case, although it remains unclear how that would play out.

    But easing rules inducing financial institutions to hoard cash also could create ⁠other risks for the broader financial system.

    “We have been encouraged by the evolution of the (Federal Open Market Committee) debate on the size of the balance sheet over the past couple of months” ​and there is “widespread agreement that there are regulatory opportunities to reduce that basic level of reserve demand,” analysts at Wrightson ICAP said in a note to clients last weekend.

    REGULATION REVIEW

    Fed Governor Stephen Miran ​in a research paper last month argued that the central bank’s $6.68 trillion in assets could be cut by as much as $2 trillion by loosening liquidity regulations, making adjustments to bank stress testing and working to bolster usage of existing Fed liquidity tools.

    Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, who was a key architect of the central bank’s monetary policy mechanics at the New York Fed, agreed early this month that rule changes around liquidity, among other options, could lower reserves and ​pave the way to a smaller Fed balance sheet.

    Reserves, a proxy for market liquidity, loom large in the debate over the Fed’s balance sheet, as the central bank manages their levels to ​achieve its interest rate target. If reserves get tight, money market rates can start to rise and threaten the central bank’s control over that target. If there’s too much cash in the system, the Fed reduces ‌its bond holdings ⁠to siphon funds out of the system.

    The Fed is currently rebuilding market liquidity levels after finishing the last chapter of its balance-sheet drawdown, and it has maintained firm control over the federal funds target rate range, a critical concern for its officials.

    Starting during the 2007-2009 global financial crisis, the Fed has periodically used large-scale purchases of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities to stabilize financial markets and bolster its economic stimulus work. Those balance sheet expansions have been followed by passive drawdowns joined with the evolution of a complex toolkit to manage interest rates.

    Few experts believe the Fed can return to ​the system of so-called “scarce” reserves used prior to ​the financial crisis when Warsh initially joined the ⁠Fed as a governor.

    SOME MEAT ON THE BONE

    The recent work could help Warsh, should he be confirmed by the Senate, find a path toward lower Fed holdings and interest rates.

    Miran argued in his paper that a smaller Fed balance sheet is a form of restraint on the economy, so ​the central bank could cut interest rates as a counterbalance.

    Noting that the central bank’s balance-sheet expansion appears to lower long-term rates and bolster the economy, New York ​Fed President John Williams told ⁠reporters late last month that “if you’re going to shrink the balance sheet, that will presumably reduce aggregate demand in the economy, get higher long-term interest rates, and therefore you would have a little bit lower short-term interest rate” in reaction.

    “I think that’s logical,” but it’s also unclear how much of this would be measurable in real-world terms, Williams said.

    Still, there’s no sense any changes will happen quickly even under ⁠Warsh’s leadership.

    “My bet ​is some of these things are quite live, but will take time to implement,” said Ellen Meade, a former ​high-ranking Fed staff member who is now a research professor at Duke University. She says the recent proposals could mitigate the need for the Fed to buy bonds to ease market stress.

    What’s more, the recent work could help preserve the current ample reserves ​regime, “but within a system where banks have lower demand day to day because they can get liquidity from the central bank on demand,” she said.

  • 遭起诉民主党议员希拉·谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克拒绝辞职，驱逐投票迫在眉睫


    2026年4月21日 美国东部时间早上7:00 / 福克斯新闻网

    谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她不会辞职，并表示“现在不是放弃选区的时候”

    众议院道德委员会审议针对佛罗里达州女议员的欺诈指控

    福克斯新闻首席国会记者查德·珀格拉姆在《特别报道》节目中报道了佛罗里达州民主党众议员谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克因欺诈指控面临众议院道德委员会听证会的消息。

    全新功能：您现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了！

    佛罗里达州民主党众议员谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的政治之路可能已走到尽头，共和党人正为最快于周二举行的驱逐投票铺路。

    众议院道德委员会将于周二下午举行听证会，正式建议对这位处境艰难的议员采取惩戒措施。佛罗里达州共和党众议员格雷格·斯托伊布已誓言，无论委员会建议何种制裁措施，都将推动就驱逐谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克进行投票。

    尽管驱逐威胁迫在眉睫，谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克仍拒绝按照自己的意愿辞去国会职务。

    “对于那些询问我是否打算辞职的人，答案是否定的，”谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克近期对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，“现在不是放弃选区的时候，尤其是在他们也在为自己的未来而奋斗之际。”

    遭起诉的民主党议员谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克面临罕见的众议院道德委员会听证会

    如果驱逐投票成功，谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克将成为自2023年纽约州共和党前众议员乔治·桑托斯以来首位被众议院驱逐的议员。美国历史上仅有6名议员被众议院驱逐。

    今年3月，在一场罕见的众议院道德审判中，谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米因20多项涉及财务不当行为的道德违规行为被判有罪。她否认存在任何不当行为，并在2025年被联邦大陪审团起诉后，正面临单独的刑事审判。

    道德委员会的有罪裁决核心指控是，谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克将超过500万美元的救灾资金转入其竞选账户，而这些资金被不当支付给了她家族经营的医疗保健公司。

    她并未退还这笔资金，其金额是政府欠这家家族企业的100多倍。

    驱逐国会议员需要三分之二的多数票，这意味着斯托伊布的决议必须获得民主党人的支持才能通过。

    上周，面临性不当行为指控的前加利福尼亚州民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃威尔和德克萨斯州共和党众议员托尼·冈萨雷斯均已辞职，以避免遭受驱逐威胁。佛罗里达州共和党众议员科里·米尔斯也面临即将到来的驱逐投票。

    杰弗里斯拒绝与遭起诉的民主党议员划清界限，此前道德委员会已作出有罪裁决

    绝大多数民主党议员尚未就驱逐谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克表态，不过在众议院道德委员会作出裁决后，一批温和派和进步派议员打破了沉默。

    纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯上周对记者表示，如果谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克不辞职，她将投票支持驱逐她，理由是众议院道德委员会的裁决。

    然而，民主党高层仍继续为这位遭起诉的同事辩护。

    众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯表示，民主党将在道德委员会程序结束后召开会议，讨论谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的命运。

    “我们将以符合我们处理此类道德问题的方式推进，即始终遵循事实并适用相关法律，绝不畏首畏尾，”杰弗里斯周一对记者表示。

    国会黑人核心小组是国会山民主党人中颇具影响力的团体，该组织对谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克面临的指控也基本保持沉默，而谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克正是该团体的成员。

    值得注意的是，2026年第一个筹款季度（1月至3月）期间，该核心小组向谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的竞选活动捐赠了5000美元。

    众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党议员迈克·约翰逊上周暗示支持驱逐行动，称两党道德委员会查明了“令人震惊的事实”。

    根据美国联邦选举委员会（FEC）最近的备案文件，尽管银行账户仅剩1.1万美元，谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克仍无视要求其暂停连任竞选的呼吁。她的竞选团队在4月初时背负着近440万美元的债务，其中部分债务源于不断攀升的法律费用。

    这位遭起诉的议员代表着一个安全的民主党席位，如果佛罗里达州由共和党控制的州议会推进重新划分选区计划，该席位可能会被拆分。越来越多的民主党人争相在2026年8月的初选中击败她，其中包括Z世代活动家伊利亚·曼利、说唱歌手路德·坎贝尔和前布劳沃德县市长戴尔·霍尔内斯。

    谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克还面临一项15项罪名的刑事起诉，如果罪名成立，她可能被判处超过50年的监禁。除了被指控挪用联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）资金外，联邦检察官还指控她参与了 straw 捐赠者计划，以隐瞒流向其竞选活动的非法资金，并共谋提交虚假的联邦纳税申报表。

    一名联邦法官上周批准了延期审理申请，将审判推迟至2027年2月，这是谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的法律团队和检方共同提出的请求。

    Indicted Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick refuses to resign as expulsion vote looms

    April 21, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News

    Cherfilus-McCormick told Fox News Digital she will not resign, saying ‘this is not the time to abandon the district’

    House Ethics Committee considers fraud allegations against Florida congresswoman

    Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., facing a House Ethics Committee hearing over fraud allegations on ‘Special Report.’

    NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

    Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., may be running out of road as Republicans lay the groundwork for an expulsion vote as soon as Tuesday.

    The House Ethics Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday afternoon to formally recommend punitive action against the embattled lawmaker. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., has vowed to force a vote on Cherfilus-McCormick’s expulsion regardless of the committee’s suggested sanction.

    Despite the looming expulsion threat, Cherfilus-McCormick has resisted calls to quit Congress on her own terms.

    “For those asking whether I plan to resign, the answer is no,” Cherfilus-McCormick recently told Fox News Digital. “This is not the time to abandon the district, not when they too are fighting for their future.”

    INDICTED DEMOCRAT SHEILA CHERFILUS-MCCORMICK FACES RARE HOUSE ETHICS HEARING

    A successful expulsion vote would make Cherfilus-McCormick the first lawmaker since former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., in 2023 to be expelled by the House. Just six lawmakers have been expelled from the House in U.S. history.

    Cherfilus-McCormick was found guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations involving financial misconduct during a rare House ethics trial in March. She has denied any wrongdoing and is facing a separate criminal trial after being indicted by a federal grand jury in 2025.

    The guilty ethics verdict centered on a charge that Cherfilus-McCormick funneled more than $5 million in disaster relief funds to her campaign that was improperly paid to her family’s healthcare company.

    She did not try to return the money, which amounted to more than 100 times what the government owed the family-run company.

    It takes a two-thirds majority to expel a member of Congress, meaning Steube’s resolution would have to receive buy-in from Democrats.

    Former Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who are facing sexual misconduct allegations, both resigned last week to fend off expulsion threats. Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., is also facing a looming expulsion vote.

    JEFFRIES DECLINES TO BREAK WITH INDICTED DEMOCRAT AFTER ETHICS PANEL’S GUILTY VERDICT

    The vast majority of Democrats have yet to voice support for Cherfilus-McCormick’s expulsion, though a swath of moderates and progressives broke their silence after the House Ethics Committee’s verdict.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told reporters last week that she would vote to expel Cherfilus-McCormick if she did not resign, citing the House Ethics Committee’s verdict.

    However, top Democrats have continued to stand by their indicted colleague.

    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said that Democrats would convene following the conclusion of the Ethics Committee’s proceedings to discuss Cherfilus-McCormick’s fate.

    “We will proceed in a manner consistent with our approach to these types of ethics matters, which is to always and at all times follow the facts and apply the relevant law without fear of it,” Jeffries told reporters Monday.

    The Congressional Black Caucus, an influential group among Democrats on Capitol Hill, has also been largely silent on the allegations facing Cherfilus-McCormick, who is a member of the group.

    The CBC notably contributed $5,000 to Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign during the first fundraising quarter of 2026, which runs from January to March.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., signaled his support for the expulsion effort last week, citing “alarming facts” identified by the bipartisan ethics panel.

    Cherfilus-McCormick has defied calls to suspend her re-election campaign, despite having just $11,000 in the bank, according to recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. Her campaign entered April with nearly $4.4 million in debt, some of which is due to mounting legal fees.

    The indicted lawmaker represents a safe blue seat that could be carved up if Florida’s Republican-controlled state legislature moves forward with redistricting. A growing number of Democrats are vying to unseat her during the August 2026 primary, including Gen Z activist Elijah Manley, rap artist Luther Campbell and former Broward County Mayor Dale Holness.

    Cherfilus-McCormick is facing a separate 15-count criminal indictment that could result in her being sentenced to more than 50 years in prison if convicted. In addition to allegedly stealing FEMA money, federal prosecutors have also charged her with participating in a straw donor scheme to allegedly conceal illicit money flowing to her campaign and conspiring to file a false federal tax return.

    A federal judge last week approved a delay in the proceedings until February 2027 at the request of both Cherfilus-McCormick’s legal team and the prosecution.
