A new pro-AI political group is jumping into the 2026 midterms with plans to spend more than $100 million, marking a major escalation in efforts to shape U.S. tech policy.

The organization, Innovation Council Action, is championed by tech investor and White House AI advisor David Sacks and is closely aligned with President Donald Trump’s agenda. It plans to support candidates who favor deregulation while opposing those pushing for stricter AI rules.

The move underscores how artificial intelligence is quickly becoming a central political battleground, with deep-pocketed groups preparing to reward allies and pressure critics ahead of the elections.

“President Trump has made it clear, America will win the AI race against China, period. He built the framework, he’s leading from the front, and this organization exists to make sure he doesn’t fight that battle alone,” Taylor Budowich, founder of Innovation Council Action, told Fox News Digital.

“The cavalry is coming to back up the policymakers who stand with the president and will hold accountable the ones who don’t,” Budowich added.

Trump has made AI a cornerstone of his policy agenda, calling for a single federal regulatory framework instead of a patchwork of state laws, while pushing to accelerate development of infrastructure like data centers and strengthen U.S. competitiveness against China.

Innovation Council Action enters an increasingly crowded field of AI-focused political spending. Leading the Future, another pro-industry group, has reported raising $50 million from tech figures including Greg Brockman, Joe Lonsdale and Marc Andreessen.

Meta is also backing a separate super PAC expected to spend roughly $65 million, with a focus on state-level races.

Innovation Council Action has been quietly building its presence in Washington, opening a D.C. office and raising funds since late last year.

The group has also developed a scorecard ranking lawmakers based on their alignment with Trump’s AI agenda, a tool expected to guide its political spending in the months ahead, according to Axios.

Tom Homan says ICE will remain assisting TSA “until the airports feel like they are 100%”

March 29, 2026 / 3:10 PM EDT / CBS News

Tom Homan, the Trump administration border czar, said Sunday that although President Trump signed an order to pay Transportation Security Administration workers, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will continue to assist “until the airports feel like they are 100%.”

“Look, we’re going to continue a nice presence there, and until the airports feel like they’re 100%, you know, in a posture where they can do no normal operations,” Homan said Sunday on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”

Congress has yet to approve funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which has been shut down for more than 40 days. Early Friday morning, the Senate passed a bill to fund DHS that did not include money for ICE and other immigration removal. The House rejected that bill and instead passed its own version, which would extend funding for the entire department, including ICE, for 60 days. The dueling bills leave the shutdown without an end in sight.

Mr. Trump announced Thursday that he would be redirecting funds to pay TSA agents, who have not gotten a paycheck in over a month since the shutdown began. But the TSA said last week that 500 agents had quit since the shutdown began.

“If less TSA agents come back, that means we’ll keep more ICE agents there,” Homan said Sunday. “The president has been clear. He wants to secure those airports, especially, as I said earlier, in an increased threat posture, we need to secure those airports. ICE is there to help our brothers and sisters in TSA. We’ll be there as long as they need us, until they get back to normal operations and feel like those airports are secure.”

ICE and Customs and Border Protection both received an influx of funds from Mr. Trump’s 2025 One Big, Beautiful Bill, meaning they are both operating during the shutdown despite other parts of DHS being shut down. Secret Service personnel are also being paid during the shutdown.

Other agencies within DHS that have not been funded include FEMA, CISA and the U.S. Coast Guard, although active-duty Coast Guard members are currently being paid with discretionary funds.

While immigration removal operations have been criticized since the beginning of the Trump administration, ICE and CBP tactics have come under further scrutiny this year amid the crackdown in Minneapolis, where immigration officers from those agencies shot and killed two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in two separate incidents in January.

Homan took over control of the Minneapolis operation in the wake of the shootings. In the weeks afterward, embattled DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, an internal rival of his, departed at the helm of the department earlier this month amid questions about ad contracts under her watch.

Former Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma was sworn in as her replacement last week.

Democrats have refused to pass any budget for DHS that does not include reforms for immigration enforcement. The Senate-passed deal did not include these reforms, but Democrats hailed it as a victory since it would not fund ICE and would instead allow for further negotiations.

Homan on Sunday rejected the Democrats’ demands, saying that “we already made those changes” and that Democrats are holding up any reforms, including body cameras for ICE agents.

“The bill they’re holding up right now actually gives $120 million to buy more cameras,” Homan said. “I’ve already talked to them. They want to, you know, talk about policy and legislative policy. Look, if they want to change the law, change the law. We’re enforcing laws they enacted.”

Homan also said that another one of the Democrats’ demands — for ICE to stop detaining undocumented immigrants in hospitals, houses of worship or schools — was not currently happening, although the Trump administration did announce a policy shift in Jan. 2025 to allow arrests at those locations.

“You can’t point to one instance when we actually went into a church and school because we try very hard to wait for people to leave places,” Homan said. “We wait for them. We arrest them in their home or arrest them in their community. We try very hard not to go into those sensitive locations because we know there’s an issue there.”

Ex-Surgeon General says “incredibly addictive” social media needs to be regulated “similar to cigarettes”

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Sunday that social media platforms are “specifically designed to addict” adolescents and teenagers “similar to cigarettes” were marketed to young users by manufacturers earlier, and there needs to be regulation to reflect that.

“We know, based on Surgeon General Vivek Murthy’s report, that there is increasing and very valid evidence out there showing links between social media use, particularly at a younger age, and increasing anxiety, increasing depression, less sleep, which actually leads to mental health problems and also obesity,” Adams said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan”.

Murthy, who served as surgeon general in the Biden administration, said in a 2023 report that technology companies and lawmakers should take “immediate action” by formulating policies to protect young people from “addictive apps and extreme and inappropriate content” on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.

Adams, who served as surgeon general in President Trump’s first term, said that “similar to cigarettes,” the government needs to “point out the fact that these substances, meaning social media platforms, are incredibly addictive.”

“And we’re hearing again in these [social media addiction] lawsuits that they were specifically designed to addict children, again, the way cigarette manufacturers tried to addict children back in the day,” Adams added.

In a landmark decision on Wednesday, a jury in California found Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, and YouTube liable for creating platforms that knowingly caused mental health-related harm to young users and failed to disclose those dangers. The plaintiff, who went by the name Kaley G.M., was awarded $3 million in compensatory damages and $3 million in punitive damages.

A separate jury in New Mexico on Tuesday sided with state prosecutors, who had argued that Meta had violated the state’s consumer protection law over child exploitation claims. The violations, which according to the jurors reached thousands, resulted in a penalty of $375 million.

Meta and YouTube told CBS News in statements that they plan to appeal to the decisions.

“We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms and are clear about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors or harmful content. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously, and we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online,” Meta said.

Referencing Australia’s first-of-its-kind social media ban, which prohibits users under-16 to access social media platforms, Adams asserted that as court cases start to hold social media companies accountable for excessive screen time and addictive behavior in violation of local laws, more states in the U.S. should enact similar laws restricting social media and cell phone usage in classrooms.

“The policy is going to be hard, but Australia has already done it,” Adams said. “They banned social media for people under 16. You have 25 states, I believe, that are to the point where they’re discussing or have legislation keeping social media and phones out of schools. And we need to really understand the harm that’s occurring to our children because of this unfettered access to screen time and social media.”

以色列工厂遇袭起火 恐有危险物质泄漏

2026年3月29日 23:31 / 联合早报

以色列南部星期天（3月29日）遭受伊朗导弹袭击，当地一座工厂据报被击中起火，并可能有危险物质泄漏。 （路透社）

以色列南部一座工厂星期天（3月29日）遭导弹袭击后燃起大火，并可能有危险物质泄漏。

以色列媒体报道，贝尔谢巴（Beersheba）以南的内奥特霍瓦夫（Neot Hovav）工业区一座工厂星期天下午遭伊朗导弹或导弹拦截器碎片击中，并引发大火。

由于此次袭击可能导致危险物质泄漏，以色列当局呼吁公众不要接近这个工业区，附近居民应留在室内，并关闭窗户。

内奥特霍瓦夫是以色列南部主要工业区，设有多座工厂，主要进行化学品生产和危险废料处理。

活性成分和作物保护材料生产商ADAMA说，遇袭起火是它的工厂，目前没有接到任何人员伤亡报告，工厂破坏情况未明。

ADAMA隶属于中国农业科技巨头先正达集团（Syngenta Group）。

柬埔寨警方遣返300多名涉网络诈骗越南人

越南警方星期天（3月29日）说，本月早些时候，300多名被控参与网络诈骗的越南人从柬埔寨被遣返回国，并在越南被逮捕。

法新社报道，越南同奈省警方说，警方星期五（27日）在与柬埔寨接壤的同奈省逮捕了343名涉嫌参与网络诈骗的人员。

据同奈省警方声明，他们是3月17日柬埔寨当局移交的近400名越南人之一，这些人“隶属于一个近期在柬埔寨被捣毁的跨国网络诈骗团伙”。

柬埔寨移民局本月说，3月17日，776名“涉嫌在柬埔寨参与网络诈骗”的越南公民被遣返回越南。

越南警方称，这些嫌疑人曾在柬埔寨与泰国接壤的波贝市的一家赌场工作，并利用WhatsApp、Instagram和脸书等社交媒体和通讯应用诈骗越南的互联网用户，尤其是老年人、社交媒体重度用户、网络交易者和缺乏技术知识的人。

今年1月，越南警方逮捕了35人，他们涉嫌“利用先进技术进行诈骗和网络赌博”，诈骗受害者3亿5000万美元。

上个月，在越南和柬埔寨的一次联合行动中，22名越南籍嫌疑人在柬埔寨因涉嫌诈骗被捕。

越南警方去年说，自2020年以来，越南受害者在超过2万4000起网络诈骗案件中损失了15亿美元。

伊朗网络封锁已持续30天 民众艰难获取信息

2026年3月29日 23:38 / 联合早报

伊朗全国范围内的网络封锁已持续30天。自与美以爆发战争以来，数百万民众的信息和通信渠道一直被切断。

法新社报道，互联网监控组织NetBlocks星期天（3月29日）在X上说：“伊朗的网络封锁已进入第30天，全国范围内的网络审查措施已持续696小时，目前进入第五周。”

虽然国内内网仍然运行，支持本地即时通讯应用、银行平台和其他服务，但访问全球互联网受到严重限制。

许多伊朗人别无选择，只能依赖国家控制的平台和昂贵的替代方案与亲人保持联系。

33岁的私营企业员工玛丽亚姆说，网络封锁的最初几周尤其艰难。

“战争初期非常难熬。除了打电话，我和在另一个城市的家人没有任何联系。

“现在我们用伊朗的一款即时通讯软件，可以进行视频通话。虽然不太方便，但在这种艰难时期，我们还能勉强应付。”

法新社驻巴黎记者主要通过WhatsApp或Telegram等，在短暂的网络连接恢复期间与伊朗居民取得联系。

对许多人来说，尤其是在伊朗境外有亲人的人，通讯变得既有限又昂贵。

27岁的服装销售员米拉德说，他很难与海外的亲戚保持联系。

“我的家人住在土耳其，我根本无法在线与他们联系。我只能打电话，电话费很贵，所以我很少能听到他们的消息。”

网络限制也缩小了人们获取信息的渠道，用户主要只能使用国内平台和当地媒体，获得片面的信息。

“日资高地”无锡拆“日本风情街”装饰 学者指民间更趋理性遵循市场逻辑

2026年3月29日 23:34 / 联合早报

中日关系自日本首相高市早苗去年底发表“台湾有事论”后便陷入紧张。 （路透社）

中日紧张关系进一步升温之际，“日资高地”江苏无锡减少与日本交流，并拆除一处“日本风情街”的日式装饰。与此同时，日本连锁回转寿司品牌“寿司郎” 却在中国持续走红，近日更是 “一号难求”。

受访学者认为，本轮中日交锋中，民间舆论更趋理性，“寿司郎” 受热捧更多是从市场逻辑出发。中日关系紧张将对中国地方上的日资企业和区域经济产生“有限但真实”的冲击，但不会出现日资全面撤离或断裂的局面。

香港《明报》星期日（3月29日）报道，有“中日交流桥头堡”之称的江苏省无锡市，正在改造当地一处老牌商业街区的“日本风情街”。

报道引述不具名官员称，受中日关系紧张影响，无锡市政府和日本方面的交流合作活动已大幅减少，“日本风情街”的日式装饰已“拆得七七八八”。

无锡上周三（3月25日）举行日中樱花植树活动，日方未获邀参加。日中共同建设樱友谊林保存协会介绍，今年是除疫情外日本首度缺席此项活动，或与日中关系恶化有关。

无锡至少有1200家日本企业，是日资企业在中国投资最密集的城市之一，主要在汽车制造、电子元件、精密机械等行业。

日本首相高市早苗去年11月发表 “台湾有事”论后，中日关系跌入低谷。日本自卫队一名现役军官星期二（3月24日）闯入中国驻日本大使馆，使两国关系雪上加霜。

日本警方星期日以涉嫌非法侵入建筑物为由，对涉事军官所属自卫队驻地及其住所展开搜查。

中日关系摩擦升级、交流合作减少之际，日本连锁回转寿司品牌“寿司郎” 在中国持续走红，近日更出现 “一号难求”。

社交平台显示，多家寿司郎门店排队长达三小时，而线上预约已排至两周后。据网民反映，一些门店现场有“黄牛”喊价80元（人民币，约15新元），便可获得号码立即进店。

“黄牛”现象迫使寿司郎本周起在中国多地门店实行新规，即需两次输入手机号尾号后四位数，部分门店还要求现场出示SIM卡信息验证。

分析：官方与民间的“体感温差”是分层运行而非对立

海颐智库日本研究中心主任陈洋告诉《联合早报》，中日关系近年总体是在低位徘徊，导致中日民间相互好感度较低。如果（无锡）日本风情街消费受到影响，自然会在商业上作出调整。

中华全国日本学会理事包承柯受访时说，无锡的做法和此前多地叫停日本相关电影放映、演出等行为类似，“是通过一种姿态性的表达，表明对日本政府做法的强烈不满”。

中国去年11月底多地暂停日本艺人的演出活动，包括滨崎步上海演唱会临开唱前取消，以及大槻真希在上海动漫展演出时被突然断电。

对于寿司郎爆火，包承柯指出，和20年前相比，中国民间情绪趋于理性，有民族主义的态度，但在生活、饮食方面的思考更加多元和细腻，而不是泛政治化。

陈洋则认为，在本轮的中日关系低潮中，表面看来，中国官方与民间存在一定的“体感温差”，其实官方在本轮中日关系低潮中的表达明显克制，虽强调“强烈公愤”，但未号召抵制日货，还对日企作出了安抚，本质是宏观叙事与微观决策的分层运行，而非对立。

中国商务部上月将20家日本实体列入出口管制清单时说，仅针对少数日本实体，不影响中日正常经贸往来，诚信守法的日本实体完全无需担心。

陈洋补充说，“官方基于国家利益与安全考量，表述更为审慎严肃；民间消费则以价格、质量与便利性为导向，更多遵循市场逻辑。”

在野“蓝白合”凯道声援柯文哲 柯重申绝不投降屈服

台湾民众党星期天（3月29日）在台北凯达格兰大道上举行的“战！上凯道讨公道”集会，声援因京华城等案被重判17年有期徒刑的创党主席柯文哲。民众党活动结束前，宣布总统府前涌入8万名支持者，线上观看直播的有10万人。

柯文哲26日被台北地方法院以贪污等罪重判17年，褫夺公民权利六年。民众党当晚宣布星期天举行“战！上凯道讨公道”集会。

同样在野的中国国民党主席郑丽文星期天在脸书发文，表示国民党坚定声援柯文哲和每一位不愿意向不公不义低头的台湾人民。但她多日前已安排中南部行程，因此指派发言人牛煦庭代表国民党到场声援。

民众党主席黄国昌透露，郑丽文星期六亲自致电民众党秘书长周瑜修，表达从中南部回来时，若活动尚未结束会到场支持；只是活动表定4点半结束，无论如何他都感谢国民党的支持。国民党23位立委清一色着白色外套与会声援，展现“蓝白合”的诚意。

国民党籍的前中广董事长赵少康表示，集会不只是为柯文哲讨公道，也是为了台湾的法治，“柯文哲之后就是黄国昌，他也有案在身呀！国民党的更多”。两党在2026年和2028年选举一定要团结，集中力量对抗民进党。

柯文哲一审被判刑17年，虽可上诉，但因刑期超过10年，2028年几乎无法参选总统。官司宣判后，柯控诉政治介入司法。

行政院长卓荣泰则回应说，任何质疑执政党可操控司法的人和政党，未来没有资格成为执政党。

黄国昌致词时反驳说，操弄司法的人才应该下台。学法律的他表示，心里有满满的愧疚，“因为我们做得不够多，做得不够快，让这个制度继续伤害台湾，伤害我们心爱的人”。他公开向台湾总统兼民进党主席赖清德下战书，要求公开辩论。

压轴登场的柯文哲表示，台湾的司法社会信赖度本来就不高，“经过我这个案子，一定变得更低”；很多人关心他的政治前途，“我已经是67岁的阿伯，我关心的是台湾的未来”。

他批判台湾经济表面上有成长，然而贫富悬殊日益恶化；立法院三读通过的法律，行政院都可以不副署、不公布及不执行，“已经是赤裸裸地在独裁”，“这个案子其实不是针对我个人，真正目的是要摧毁台湾新政治的发展”。

活动结束后，柯文哲走下台与簇拥的群众握手致意，支持者高呼柯文哲“清清白白”，要他奋战到底。柯闻言走上第二个舞台，向群众致意，并转身面向总统府，愤怒地振臂高喊：“赖清德，没有用的，我绝不投降！绝不屈服！”台下欢声雷动。

民进党发言人李坤城回应说，有关司法个案，基于尊重司法，民进党不做评论。然而对于台湾当前各项挑战与问题，执政团队皆虚心倾听民意，并戮力逐一解决与克服。

埃及能源危机加剧 商店餐馆被令每晚9时前结束营业

中东战争导致埃及的能源危机加剧，政府下令商店、餐馆和咖啡馆每晚提早结束营业，以节约能源。

英国广播公司（BBC）报道，根据埃及政府的命令，从星期六（3月28日）开始，未来一个月内，零售和餐饮场所必须在每晚9时前结束营业。

此外，埃及政府采取的“特殊措施”还包括调暗路灯和路边广告，以及从4月份开始要求大多数人每周居家办公一天。

埃及并未卷入战争，但它对进口燃料的依赖使它极易受到供应冲击的影响。

埃及总理马德布利星期六说，仅汽油一项，埃及3月份的支出就比1月份多了一倍多，达到25亿美元（约32亿新元）。

政府说，酒店和旅游景点不受节能措施影响。

不过，开罗的几家酒店包括万豪酒店和大都会酒店告诉法国国际广播电台（RFI），他们已经购置了发电机以应对停电情况，并将在其他地方关门的情况下继续为客人提供餐饮服务。

虽然大多数员工将被要求每周在家办公一天，但医院、学校和工厂等关键岗位的工作人员将不受此限制。

专家：胡塞武装若攻击红海 恐与沙特爆发冲突

2026年3月29日 20:50 / 联合早报

（萨那综合电）也门胡塞武装星期天连续第二天向以色列发射导弹。以色列军方星期天（3月29日）发声明说：“已确认一枚导弹从也门射向以色列领土，防空系统正在运行拦截这一威胁。”

自美国和以色列2月28日开始打击伊朗以来，伊朗在也门的代理组织胡塞武装一直按兵不动，直到星期六（28日）上午首次向以色列发动导弹袭击。

胡塞武装发言人萨雷亚周六晚说，军事行动将在未来几天继续进行，直到美国和以色列停止侵略。

查塔姆研究所研究员穆斯利米说，胡塞武装介入标志着局势严重升级，可能扩大战争，并对地区稳定和全球贸易产生重大影响。

分析人士早就预测，自2014年以来一直控制着也门大片地区包括首都萨那的胡塞武装，最终会加入战局。

穆斯利米称，他们可能已经竭尽全力避免卷入这场战争，因为他们知道这场战争对他们没有任何好处，但他们最终不得不回报伊朗多年来一直支持他们的恩情。

就像他们在加沙战争期间经常做的那样，他们这次的打击目标选择了以色列，而不是美国在富裕波斯湾国家的利益。

报告：胡塞武装或袭击区域海上交通

美国风险咨询公司巴沙报告（Basha Report）在社媒平台X写道，这向国内支持者和国外盟友发出了明确信息：“他们的主要关注点仍然是巴勒斯坦问题。他们也在向美国和沙特阿拉伯发出信号，至少目前他们不会将目标对准这两个国家。”

巴沙报告指出，他们的下一步行动可能是袭击区域海上交通，而不是攻击美国资产。这既能施加压力，又不会越过可能引发美国直接回应的底线。

胡塞武装占据红海沿岸的山地据点，可以利用无人机和导弹严重干扰航运。加沙战争期间，他们就袭击了与以色列有关的船只。这阻碍了船只通过曼德海峡，这条位于红海南端的狭窄水道实际上是连接印度洋和苏伊士运河的门户。

自伊朗封锁了位于阿拉伯半岛另一侧的霍尔木兹海峡以来，曼德海峡这条咽喉要道对全球石油运输的重要性更加凸显，因为要装载沙特石油的油轮只能改道前往其红海港口延布。

这是沙特最后一道安全的石油出口通道。如果这条通道也被封锁，专家说，沙特不太可能袖手旁观。

红海通道若受威胁 沙特可能考虑报复

目前，利雅得几乎每天都拦截伊朗导弹和无人机袭击而不进行报复。但沙特安全分析师阿尔加纳姆说，如果红海通道受威胁，这种谨慎的中立可能会瓦解，利雅得可能会考虑报复，即使规模有限。

胡塞武装在声明中暗示可能对邻国发动袭击。穆斯利米指出，他们比伊朗更接近沙特的基础设施和波斯湾对岸的西方基地，而且地理位置更有利。

他警告，此类袭击可能造成严重后果，包括胡塞武装与沙特之间爆发直接冲突。
