Natasha Bertrand joins the Inside Politics panel to share her reporting on a strike on an Iranian elementary school at the start of the war in Iran. Two sources briefed on the preliminary findings of an investigation say the U.S. military accidently struck the target, likely because of outdated intelligence. President Trump’s responses to questions about the strike have been shifting.

Dems vote to keep DHS closed despite airport chaos, Iranian sleeper cell threat

Barrasso says Democrats want to ‘peel apart, piece by piece’ DHS while ‘homeland is under attack’

Senate Republicans are accusing Senate Democrats of trying to rip apart the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) piece by piece after again blocking a bid to reopen the agency.

Little has changed in the stalemate over the last 27 days of the partial shutdown, and communication breakdowns are dominating what could be opportunities for negotiations.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus are still demanding stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while Senate Republicans are dug in against their top demands.

Throughout the day, Senate Democrats tried to offer individual bills to fund pieces and parts of DHS. A fired-up Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., accused Senate Democrats of trying to rip the agency apart at a moment it was designed for, as the war in Iran has spurred threats of retaliation in the U.S. by sleeper cells.

“And that’s at a time when our homeland is under attack, all warning lights are flashing red, and they want to peel apart, piece by piece, the Department of Homeland Security, the comprehensive department of our government to protect the American people, because they want to stand with illegal immigrant criminals,” Barrasso said.

Schumer declared that Senate Democrats would continue to provide piecemeal funding bills to reopen certain portions of the agency, like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), while negotiations continued.

Both sides are far apart from finding a compromise, as many lawmakers have acknowledged in the ongoing fight to reopen the agency, but Democrats believe that carving out ICE funding could be a palatable option for Republicans, given that immigration operations were funded with President Donald Trump’s “One
Big, Beautiful Bill.”

“We don’t have to tie that disagreement up and use people at the airports and American citizens as hostages,” Schumer said.

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., argued that doing so would effectively return Congress to the “defund the police” era and drew a sharp red line against any kind of carveout proposal from Senate Democrats.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who has offered a DHS funding bill without ICE or Customs and Border Patrol, told Fox News Digital that criticism was “not true.”

“It was funded by the [‘One Big, Beautiful Bill,’] and we have told them they’re not going to fund ICE until there are reforms to ICE,” Murray said. “We have made that clear. We put them out there, and they are pretending to just ignore that.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., shot back that Republicans have tried on several occasions to temporarily fund the agency with short-term, two-week continuing resolutions (CRs) that Democrats have blocked.

“I assume the Democrat leader is aware of the fact that we have tried repeatedly to [fund everything temporarily] to allow the negotiations over the ICE budget to continue,” Thune said.

While several attempts from both sides were made to either fund the agency in chunks or reopen it temporarily, each was blocked.

Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., who tried to force a vote on a standalone funding bill for TSA as lines at airports around the country swell while security agents go without pay, told Fox News Digital that Republicans’ move to block her bill showed they “don’t care about their constituents, the traveling public, and the folks who work there who are not part of this discussion or this argument.”

“It says the Republican priorities are just for Donald Trump and no one else,” Rosen said.

Senate approves sweeping bipartisan housing bill, but roadblocks remain in the House

Updated on: March 12, 2026 / 2:17 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — The Senate approved a package of bills aimed at lowering housing costs on Thursday, the most sweeping housing legislation in decades and a rare point of bipartisan consensus in an election year, with the issue of affordability top of mind for many voters.

But the path forward in the House remains uncertain given conservative opposition to some portions of the bill, despite support from President Trump.

The Senate passed the measure, known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, by a wide bipartisan margin of 89 to 10. The senators who voted against the bill were Democrat Brian Schatz of Hawaii and Republicans Ted Budd of North Carolina, Ted Cruz of Texas, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mike Lee of Utah, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rick Scott of Florida, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Todd Young of Indiana.

Sponsored by Sens. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, and Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican, the bill aims to streamline the building of new homes and ease regulations to cut costs. It would also prohibit institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, a provision that the White House has sought.

Proponents of the bill have lauded it as the largest and most significant housing package in a generation. The bill limits institutional investors from buying single-family homes, which supporters say would cut competition and benefit homebuyers.

陈诗龙：我国虽不过度依赖中东天然气 但燃料价涨将推高电价 | 联合早报

发布/2026年3月12日 23:34

主管能源与科技事务的陈诗龙医生星期四（3月12日）在脸书贴文说：“随着全球环境愈发不稳定且充满不确定性，燃料供应中断和价格波动更为频繁。新加坡也受影响，因为我国约95％的发电燃料依赖进口天然气。” （取自陈诗龙脸书）

我国已建立起多重防线，确保能源供应充足，目前也不过度依赖来自中东的天然气。不过，人力部长陈诗龙医生说，若中东局势持续推高全球能源价格，预计本地未来几个月电价会上涨。

他也透露，我国的能源储备“足够维持几个月”。

主管能源与科技事务的陈诗龙医生星期四（3月12日）在脸书贴文说：“随着全球环境愈发不稳定且充满不确定性，燃料供应中断和价格波动更为频繁。新加坡也受影响，因为我国约95％的发电燃料依赖进口天然气。”

我国约一半的天然气通过区域管道输入，不受中东局势影响；另一半以液化天然气形式进口，来源除了中东，还包括非洲、美国和澳大利亚等。

陈诗龙说，我国不过度依赖来自中东的天然气；液化天然气进口商拥有全球化的供应渠道，可随时调动资源，替代原本来自中东的货源。目前有一船来自中东的液化天然气，当局正与业者合作，积极寻找替代方案。

我国也有天然气和柴油储备，可在天然气供应中断时供发电厂调用。能源市场管理局规定，发电设施须可兼用天然气和柴油发电。

针对能源储备，陈诗龙星期三（11日）接受新传媒英语新闻台CNA播客节目访问时说，这关乎国家安全，因此他无法透露具体数量，但“足以维持几个月”。

2月28日，美国和以色列联合对伊朗发动军事行动，伊朗全力反击，战火波及其他国家。中东局势急剧恶化，运油要道霍尔木兹海峡关闭，导致原油价格飙升；全球约四分之一的海运原油和近五分之一的液化天然气通过这条海峡运输。

陈诗龙指出，虽然新加坡采取的一系列措施能够确保有充足的能源供应，但天然气价格持续走高，预计未来几个月电价会上涨。

他说，我国难以完全压低价格，政府能做的是控制上涨幅度，减缓价格波动。家庭和企业可通过节约用电和采用更节能的电器，抵消部分影响。

政府会在必要时给予家庭和企业支持。据早前公布的2026财年预算案，所有符合条件的组屋家庭在本财年可获得多达570元的水电费回扣。

陈诗龙说：“我国正在密切关注中东局势的演变，尤其是冲突可能带来的连锁影响。这场冲突提醒我们，生活在充满变数的世界里，不能把能源保障视为理所当然。”

学者：下季度不会立即感受到油价上涨全部冲击

下季度电价将从4月1日起调整，新加坡能源集团预计本月底公布最新价格。今年首季受管制电价为每千瓦时26.71分，而在上一次能源危机中，电价曾于2022年第三季飙升至30.17分。

南洋理工大学经济学助理教授蔡耀辉接受《联合早报》采访时说，当局在制定下季度电价时，会以本季度前两个半月，即1月至3月中的平均天然气价格为参考。这意味着，消费者在下季度不会立即感受到油价上涨的全部冲击。

“油价短期波动对电价影响有限，但若波动持续较久，所带来的影响会在之后几个季度的调整中更加明显。”

能源咨询公司The Lantau Group合伙人布罗德斯托克博士（David Broadstock）认为，美以伊冲突开始不久，所以还无法全面评估对油价有多大冲击。

他比喻说：“油价就像一只正在过马路的猫，看见车子迎面驶来，一时来不及反应，不知道该往左还是往右躲。目前常见的情况是，油价往往会随着有关各方的言论而起伏。”

他指出，这场危机也使政府之前推行的各项防护措施面对考验。落实这些措施需要成本，因此未来的电价未必是最低的，但它们有助于维持电价稳定。

在2021年至2022年全球能源危机期间，本地多家电力零售商相继倒闭。此次是否可能出现类似情况？

新加坡战略能源与资源研究中心联合创始主席年家亮博士说，当局之前已收紧对电力零售商的监管，提高电供需求的对冲要求，加上不少零售商有自家发电厂，因此预计开放电力市场不会出现重大冲击。

美国军方说，航空母舰杰拉尔德·福特号（USS Gerald Ford）在红海发生非战斗火灾，导致两名水兵受伤。

火灾起于“舰上主洗衣房”，与战斗无关，目前火势已得到控制。路透社引述军方星期四（3月12日）发布的声明说，两名水兵正在接受治疗，伤势无生命危险，目前情况稳定。

军方称：“航母的推进系统未受损，航母仍可正常运作。”

福特号为世界最大航母，它正在参与对伊朗的军事行动，目前位于红海。除了福特号，美军在中东地区还部署了另一艘航母林肯号。

U.S. President Donald Trump shows a signed resolution approved by Congress to rescind the EPA’s 2023 approval of California’s plans to require a rising number of zero-emission heavy-duty trucks, and another resolution on California’s low-NOx, or low-nitrogen oxide, regulation for heavy-duty highway and off-road vehicles and… Read more

WASHINGTON, March 12 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Thursday sued the state ​of California, claiming the state’s zero-emission vehicle and tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions ‌rules are illegal and preempted by federal law.

The U.S. Transportation Department sued the California Air Resources Board in U.S. District Court in California over vehicle rules that remain in place after President ​Donald Trump signed legislation last year to overturn California’s Advanced Clean Cars ​II rules that aim to phase out new gasoline-powered cars by 2035.

The ⁠lawsuit wants a ruling declaring that all zero-emission vehicle mandates by California are ​unlawful and unenforceable.

“This litigation will help automakers design and produce cars and trucks to ​meet one federal fuel economy regulation,” said Jonathan Morrison, who heads the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

California won approval in 2022 from the Environmental Protection Agency for its current vehicle ​rules known as Advanced Clean Cars I, which the state says are still ​in effect. The California Air Resources Board did not immediately comment.

This is the latest in a ‌series ⁠of efforts by the Trump administration to bar California from setting vehicle rules. In August, it sued California to stop the state from enforcing stringent emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks.

California’s rules require automakers to sell a rising number of electric ​vehicles and meet ​increasingly stringent limits ⁠on tailpipe emissions.

Those rules are much stricter than those imposed by the Trump administration, which plans to roll back federal fuel economy rules.

California contends ​the fuel savings for consumers from the rules far exceed ​the higher ⁠upfront costs of EVs.

Congress rescinded authority for California to outlaw traditional gas-powered vehicles after 2035 after Toyota and the Detroit Three lobbied Congress and the White House for significant relief ⁠from ​California’s emissions regulations.

The White House also significantly weakened ​federal tailpipe rules and Congress passed legislation to stop collecting penalties for not meeting vehicle tailpipe standards.

A group ​representing major automakers did not immediately comment.

伊朗最高领袖穆杰塔巴星期四发布就任以来的首份声明，呼吁全国团结，并誓言为在美以袭击中死亡的烈士复仇。声明由一名新闻主播宣读，穆杰塔巴没有出镜。 （法新社）

（德黑兰 / 华盛顿综合电）伊朗新任最高领袖穆杰塔巴警告，中东地区的所有美军基地应立即关闭，否则将遭受袭击。但他同时强调，伊朗希望与邻国发展友好关系。穆杰塔巴也表明，霍尔木兹海峡将继续关闭。

穆杰塔巴星期四（3月12日）通过国家电视台发布就任以来的首份声明，呼吁伊朗人民团结，并感谢伊朗军队让国家免于分裂。

他誓言，伊朗将继续战斗，为所有烈士复仇，“敌人”将为他们的行为付出代价，但未点名美国和以色列。“我们将向敌人寻求赔偿。如果得不到赔偿，我们将像他们摧毁我们的财产一样，摧毁他们的财产。”

穆杰塔巴并未出镜。上星期天（3月8日），他获任命为最高领袖，接替在2月28日美以袭击中身亡的父亲哈梅内伊。据悉，穆杰塔巴也在那次袭击中受轻伤。

穆杰塔巴说，伊朗将继续打击美国在中东地区的军事基地，并敦促这些国家关闭境内美军基地。他称，伊朗与所有15个邻国的关系都很好，伊朗至今只瞄准美军基地，并将继续这么做。

他还说，继续封锁霍尔木兹海峡，作为向敌人施压的手段。

此前一天，联合国安理会以13票赞成的结果通过决议，谴责伊朗阻挠霍尔木兹海峡国际航运，并要求伊朗立即停止对波斯湾国家的攻击。

伊朗常驻联合国代表伊拉瓦尼对决议未提到美以的侵略不满，称决议的通过是滥用职权，为某些成员国的政治意图服务。

特朗普：阻止伊朗获得核武比赚油钱更重要

美国总统特朗普星期四较早时称，阻止伊朗比油价更重要。他在社交媒体上写道：“美国是世界最大石油生产国，因此当油价上涨，我们会赚很多钱。但身为总统，阻止伊朗这个邪恶帝国获得核武器，摧毁中东与世界对我来说更有意义且重要。”

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队总司令顾问法达维此前一天警告，伊朗可能与美国和以色列展开一场旷日持久的战争，而这将摧毁整个美国和世界经济。

特朗普当天则称伊朗已接近战败，但美国将继续军事行动，直至完成任务。

特朗普还称，美军可在一小时内切断伊朗电力供应。对此，伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书拉里贾尼回应：“如果美国这么做，整个中东地区将在不到半小时内陷入黑暗，而黑暗将为追捕逃命的美国军人提供充足机会。”

伊朗军方星期四说，他们袭击了阿联酋、伊拉克与科威特境内的美军目标，以及以色列的两个军事基地和以色列国家安全总局总部等。

伊朗议长：战略岛屿若遭袭击 势必毫不克制还击

伊朗议长卡利巴夫当天警告美以不要袭击波斯湾的伊朗岛屿，否则“我们将彻底放弃克制，让波斯湾流淌侵略者的鲜血”。

美国新闻网站Axios此前引述消息报道，美国考虑夺取伊朗哈尔格岛（Kharg）。这个战略码头负责伊朗约90%的原油出口。

以色列星期四对伊朗政府基础设施发动新一轮大规模空袭。以军也透露，他们近日打击伊朗塔莱甘（Taleghan）核设施。这个设施位于德黑兰附近的帕尔钦（Parchin）军事基地，据说伊朗政府在这里发展核武器关键能力。

以防长威胁侵占黎巴嫩以打击真主党

以色列防长卡茨说，在黎巴嫩真主党连夜向以色列发射大量火箭弹后，以军将扩大在黎巴嫩的行动。他警告，如果黎巴嫩政府无法阻止真主党袭击以色列，以色列将“夺取这片领土，自己动手”。

彭博社引述多名知情官员报道，德黑兰已通过地区调解人开出停火条件，即美国必须保证未来美以都不会再袭击伊朗。目前不清楚，美以是否会接受这个条件。

路透社引述消息报道，美国情报评估显示，尽管受到近两周轰炸，但伊朗领导层未出现垮台迹象。另有消息称，特朗普政府星期二（10日）在闭门会议上告诉国会议员，美国在战争的前六天里花了至少113亿美元（144亿新元）。

随着中东航运危机加剧，市场为中断情况将持续数月做准备，欧洲天然气追随油价上涨。

彭博社报道，基准期货价格连续第二天上涨，一度飙升7.7%并收复本周前些时候的部分失地。阿曼主要石油出口码头疏散船只，两艘油轮在伊拉克水域遭到袭击，进一步反映出全球能源市场承压。

在液化天然气（LNG）领域，随着市场供应收紧，亚洲买家正在准备为未来两个月增加采购。

摩根士丹利上调了欧洲天然气年内价格预测，因为该地区需要在夏季大量囤积LNG以补充枯竭的燃料库存。根士丹利预计，卡塔尔LNG生产将至少中断一个月，2026年原本料将出现的全球燃料过剩局面因此彻底无望。

阿姆斯特丹时间星期四（3月12日）上午8时26分（新加坡时间傍晚5时26分） ，作为欧洲天然气基准的荷兰近月期货上涨3.4%，至每兆瓦时51.67欧元（76.27新元）。

新大家族企业管理学院推新框架 吁慈善家推动变革让影响力更可续

2026年3月12日 23:35 / 联合早报

新加坡管理大学的家族企业管理学院配合《慈善事业的登月战略：从“大胆假设”到付诸实践的框架》研究报告发布举办座谈会。陈一心家族慈善基金主席陈禹嘉（左二起）、 曹氏基金会主席曹慰萱医生，以及领导研究的新大李光前商学院战略与创业学副教授吴多泉，一起畅谈慈善家可采取哪些策略，支持有潜力推动系统变革的公益项目。新大连氏社会创新中心执行主任罗明佑（左一）担任座谈会主持人。 （曾坤顺摄）

解决复杂社会问题需要大量资金和长时间落实，让一般人视为应由政府承担，许多慈善家因此更倾向于资助短期且易见成效的项目。

新加坡管理大学的家族企业管理学院（Business Families Institute）星期四（3月12日）推出一套行善框架，引导慈善家有系统地分配善款，偕同战略伙伴共创方案，支持有潜力推动系统变革的项目，以促进长远社会福祉。

这份名为《慈善事业的登月战略：从“大胆假设”到付诸实践的框架》（The Moonshot Approach to Philanthropy: A Framework From ‘What Ifs?’ to Action）的研究报告，鼓励有志发挥更大作用的慈善家、慈善基金和家族办公室，以长远思维看待成效不确定的慈善事业。

所谓“登月项目”，是指以解决重大挑战、造福广大人群为目标，具创新且有长期战略意义的项目。研究员访问海内外慈善基金领导者及学者，就如何发挥可持续影响力，建议实践步骤和路线图。这包括：在尽责基础上审慎承担风险、按项目阶段采取不同支持策略、出资方与受益机构合作探索与学习并共创方案。

领导研究的是新大李光前商学院战略与创业学副教授吴多泉。也是官委议员的吴多泉在发布会上说，慈善家资助那些可满足眼前需求的项目是有必要的，但若只支持这类项目，则治标不治本。

“我们倡议的登月战略，不是叫人开出更大的支票或舍弃严谨的审核，盲目乐观地勇往直前……这个战略应同满足当下需求的传统行善理念相辅相成……”

慈善家可支持试验项目 与政府和利益相关者合作推动改变

吴多泉受访时指出，社会大众可能觉得，推动系统变革应是政府的工作；一些慈善家也认为，自己能做的远不及政府。但事实上，有些转变需外界来催化。

他指出，以新加坡为例，一些成效还不明确的项目，政府未必有足够理由用纳税人的钱去资助，更多慈善家可在这方面发挥作用，通过支持试验项目，以及与政府和利益相关者合作推动改变。

这项研究获香港陈一心家族慈善基金支持。基金主席陈禹嘉是“Clearly”运动发起人。这项运动的愿景是让全球每个人都可得到视力矫正，它通过研究和倡议行动，促成联合国2021年通过决议，将视力矫正列为一项全球发展优先事项。

陈禹嘉说，接下来约20年，美国估计有124万亿美元的财富从年长一代手中转移至年轻一代，而具有环球视野的新一代家族企业领导者往往希望推动变革。这份报告提供的建议，有助将这股雄心转化为行动，以发挥更长远的社会影响力。
