A moderate Democrat mounting his last campaign staved off a progressive challenger in Colorado, marking a small speed bump in the rapid far-left evolution of the Democratic Party.

Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., a longtime fixture in Colorado politics, overcame a challenge from state Sen. Julie Gonzales, his progressive challenger, who has argued that Democrats need to be more aggressive in their pushback against President Donald Trump.

Hickenlooper, who is vying for a second term in the upper chamber, said this would be his final campaign for the Senate. Gonzales hoped to speed up his exit with a campaign that went after the lawmaker’s moderate position and votes in favor of some of Trump’s nominees.

“John Hickenlooper has been in office for over 20 years,” Gonzales said in her campaign launch ad. “I know that we’re not fooled by his so-called ‘commonsense approach,’ cause there is no sense in voting for Donald Trump’s nominees.”

Still, Gonzales’ defeat Tuesday night was a stumble for the progressive wave that has swept the Democratic Party during this midterm election cycle, which has seen new blood hungry for change challenging the old guard and party leadership in Washington, D.C.

Hickenlooper, 74, who served two terms each as Denver’s mayor and Colorado’s governor before launching a failed bid for president, has been a stalwart fixture in the Centennial State, while Gonzales, 43, positioned herself as part of the new wave.

Their battle for the Democratic nomination came just a week after a trio of progressive candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani clinched their Democratic nominations. Notably, Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier, a community organizer and socialist, toppled five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y.

And the battle between Hickenlooper and Gonzales was not the only intraparty fist fight between a moderate incumbent and progressive in Colorado.

Melat Kiros, a socialist, is squaring off against longtime Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. Kiros also sported the endorsement of one of Hickenlooper’s colleagues: Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Meanwhile, Hickenlooper will now face state Sen. Mark Baisley in November. Baisley, who ran unopposed in the Colorado GOP primary, initially launched a campaign for governor in the race to replace term-limited Gov. Jared Polis but dropped out of the contest to run for the Senate.

1777非紧急救护车服务热线 明年停用

2026年7月1日 11:39 / 新明日报

民防部队今年初公布的数据显示，去年接到的非紧急电话共1万1064通，较前年的1万零728通，增加3.1％。 （白艳琳摄）

新加坡民防部队设立的1777非紧急救护车热线，明年1月1日停用。

内政部和保健卫生部星期三（7月1日）发联合文告，宣布这个消息。

1777热线于1998年启用，是公众安排非紧急救护车服务的统一号码，与处理紧急救护个案的995热线区分开来，让紧急救护资源优先留给真正危及生命的病人。

非紧急状况包括：轻微至中度感冒或流感、扭伤或拉伤、没有持续出血的割伤、流鼻血、腹泻或呕吐、头痛、轻微过敏反应、烧伤面积少于身体面积15％的轻度烧伤、没有过敏症状及持续出血的动物咬伤，以及轻微眼部问题等。

文告指出，如今公众面对非紧急医疗情况时，有更多求助选择，例如到住家附近的家庭医生诊所求诊、使用远程问诊服务，或乘德士和私召车前往医院。

数据显示，本地24家参与1777热线计划的私人救护车业者，目前只有约6％的预约，是通过1777热线进行。

内政部、健卫部和民防部队评估后认为，没有继续保留1777热线的必要。

明年起，需要非紧急救护车接送服务的公众，可上网go.gov.sg/pao，查询私人救护车业者的联络方式和收费详情；若需非紧急医疗建议，则可拨打护士问诊热线（NurseFirst）62626262。

民防部队强调，995紧急热线服务不受影响，公众遇到危及生命的紧急情况仍应拨打995。若995接获来电后评估属非紧急个案，将转介至NurseFirst热线提供医疗建议。

民防部队今年初公布的数据显示，去年接到的非紧急电话共1万1064通，较前年的1万零728通，增加3.1％。

Jessica Killin won the Democratic primary in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District on Tuesday, setting up a November match-up against incumbent Rep. Jeff Crank, R-Colo., for the Colorado Springs-based seat.

Killin, a former Army captain and former chief of staff to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, defeated fellow Army veteran and nonprofit leader Joe Reagan, according to the Associated Press. The result means she will take on Crank, who ran unopposed in the Republican primary and is seeking a second term representing the district, which is centered on Colorado Springs and most of El Paso County, including several military-heavy communities.

Killin entered the race as a first-time candidate with national support and strong fundraising, while Reagan, who ran for the seat in 2024, leaned on his local roots, combat service and nonprofit work helping veterans open businesses.

The general election will test whether Democrats can make gains in a Republican-leaning district that includes Fort Carson and the Air Force Academy, along with fast-growing Colorado Springs suburbs.

The race drew national attention from Democrats because the Colorado Springs-based district, long a Republican stronghold, has shown signs of becoming more competitive. The Colorado Sun reported that Trump’s margin in El Paso County, which largely overlaps with the 5th District, fell from 22 points in 2016 to 10 points in 2024, while Republican margins in the House race have also narrowed over the past decade.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) added Killin to its Red to Blue program, signaling national Democrats viewed the Republican-held seat as a potential pickup opportunity, even though the district remains GOP-leaning.

The district’s current incumbent, Crank, is a former Capitol Hill staffer of seven years, who subsequently moved back home to Colorado where he served as Vice President for the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, Chief Operating Officer at nonprofit Americans for Prosperity and president of his own real estate investment company, according to his campaign website.

Crank’s background in broadcasting includes hosting both The Jeff Crank Show in Colorado and the American Potential Podcast.

Killin aligned herself with a centrist Democratic push shortly before the primary, signing onto an initiative that described its signatories as “capitalist, not socialist” and emphasized public safety, fiscal responsibility, secure borders and national pride.

Meanwhile, Killin said during an online news conference that candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America “should not be the face of our party,” according to local news outlet Colorado Politics.

特朗普政府料不延长《美墨加协定》 启动10年终止倒计时

美国特朗普政府预计将于星期三（7月1日）正式宣布，美国不会延长《美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定》，此举将启动一个为期10年的倒计时，逐步终结一个拥有32年历史的北美自由贸易区。

路透社报道，美国7月1日的宣布将启动为期六年的审查程序，这是特朗普第一任期内谈判达成的“日落条款”的一部分。然而，这不会改变围绕《美墨加协定》（USMCA）前景的激烈谈判，谈判焦点包括要求大幅提高北美汽车制造中的美国及本土零部件比例，以及阻止中国商品借道美墨加协定获益等贸易保护措施。

预计美墨加贸易代表周三将举行视频会议，并宣布是否希望将协定再延长16年。美国贸易代表格里尔已安排在7月20日当周与墨西哥举行第三轮谈判，表明他将继续推动修改协定。

特朗普的第一总统任期内谈判达成《美墨加协定》，以取代1994年的《北美自由贸易协定》。他曾盛赞《美墨加协定》为“我们签署生效的最公平、最平衡、最有利的贸易协定”。

然而，随着美国对墨西哥的商品贸易逆差扩大，他对这项协定的态度迅速转变。部分原因是，在他对中国商品加征高额对等关税后，企业纷纷将供应链从中国转移出去。特朗普多次称不想续签《美墨加协定》，更倾向于对墨西哥和加拿大的汽车、钢铁、铝制品加征高额关税。

前美国贸易代表办公室总法律顾问、现任华盛顿怀利·赖恩律师事务所贸易合伙人佩什说：“我们预计美国不会确认延长协定的意愿。”

她还说，目前仍不清楚美国政府是否会在会后发表的声明中，公开说明美国的具体诉求是什么。

墨西哥经济部长埃布拉德周二说，他不认为这项三边贸易协定会被废除。墨西哥总统辛鲍姆当天也说，她已在呼吁将《美墨加协定》延长16年的信函上签字。

若三国未能就修订达成一致，《美墨加协定》将进入每年一次的审查程序。若始终无法确认延长，协定将于2036年7月1日失效。

Rescue teams in Venezuela race to save security guard trapped under building that collapsed during earthquakes

Nearly a week after two back-to-back earthquakes struck northern Venezuela, international rescue teams, including from the U.S., are still working around the clock to save people trapped under the rubble — like 44-year-old security guard Hernan Gil Flores.

Gil Flores has been trapped under a partially collapsed 10-story building in La Guaira for six days.

“It is a very complex rescue,” Manny Sampang, a task force leader from the Los Angeles County Fire Department who is in Venezuela to help with rescue efforts, told CBS News. “I have multiple buildings leaning into that building that we are trying to rescue him from.”

Rescuers believe Gil Flores is still inside the security booth in the underground parking garage. Rescue teams have been moving carefully, concerned that parts of the building could collapse again.

His wife, Gusbimar Gonzalez, told CBS News the rescue team has made contact with her husband. She said he is not injured and they’ve been able to get him water.

The confirmed death toll from the 7.5 and 7.2 magnitude quakes, which struck within a minute of each other just after 6 p.m. local time on June 24, was more than 1,900 as of Tuesday. Tens of thousands remain missing, according to the United Nations.

Rescuers have been finding small miracles amid the rubble, including the rescue of an 18-day-old baby, who, along with his mother, was pulled from a collapsed high-rise after they were both trapped for 32 hours. In another instance, a mother and her 9-month-old baby were pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building with “only minor injuries,” Virginia Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 said at the time.

Venezuelan officials say some 6,400 people have been rescued so far.

Estimates from NASA satellite data indicate nearly 59,000 buildings were likely damaged or collapsed entirely across the affected region. The U.N. says 1.8 million people, nearly 700,000 of whom are children, are in need of humanitarian assistance.

The worst of the destruction is concentrated in La Guaira, on Venezuela’s coast. The devastation has forced many residents, like Marianae Hernandez, to flee inland to the Venezuelan capital of Caracas in hopes of finding shelter.

Hernandez told CBS News her home was destroyed and she has nothing left. Now, she, her mother and her three children are living in tents.

“I’m trying to be strong because I have children and I don’t like them to see me cry,” she said. “What we are going through right now is very difficult.”

委内瑞拉一名3岁男童在强震发生六天后，从一栋倒塌建筑物的废墟中奇迹获救。

综合法新社和新华社报道，委内瑞拉代总统罗德里格斯星期二（6月30日）在社交媒体上说，约旦救援队实施了此次救援。3岁的莫兰于当天凌晨获救，他在拉瓜伊拉州一栋大楼废墟下被困了六天。目前，他已被转移并接受医疗救治。

视频画面显示，救援人员发现这名奇迹生还的孩子时欢呼雀跃。

拉瓜伊拉州是委内瑞拉地震受灾最严重的地区。现场画面显示，几名救援人员用工具小心移除瓦砾等杂物，挖掘和搜救工作持续数小时。莫兰从完全倒塌的建筑物中被救出时仍有意识和呼吸，随后被立即送上救护车，送往医疗中心接受进一步检查和治疗。

委内瑞拉全国代表大会主席豪尔赫·罗德里格斯在6月30日的灾情通报会上说，地震死亡人数增至1943人，另有1万571人受伤，2万8380人在医疗机构和野战医院接受救治。自救援行动展开以来，已有6461人获救。在受灾最严重的拉瓜伊拉州，电力供应几乎全部恢复。

罗德里格斯说，救援工作仍在继续，共有3660名外国救援人员、51个国际代表团、148只搜救犬和49辆支援车辆参与救灾，并已接收逾70万吨人道救援物资。
