FIRST ON FOX: Vulnerable border Democrat Rep. Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., is being slammed for “hypocrisy” on his pro-law enforcement stance after a Black Lives Matter post and interview calling to “deconstruct” and “defund” the police resurfaced.

Vasquez, who is widely reported as a “moderate Democrat” and is a self-described “bipartisan player,” also recently voted against a House resolution expressing support for law enforcement officers and condemning defund the police efforts and sanctuary policies.

With Republicans currently holding a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, every congressional seat considered competitive is critical to both parties in this midterm election. Vasquez’s New Mexico swing district in particular is considered highly vulnerable and is a top target for the GOP this cycle.

This week, Vasquez published an opinion piece in the Las Cruces Sun News in which he argued police officers “deserve thanks, support and funding.” In the piece, Vasquez pointed to the funding streams he helped secure for local law enforcement and wrote that “no amount of public recognition can ever fully express the gratitude they deserve.”

However, a National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman said, “Defund the police Gabe Vasquez’s shameless hypocrisy isn’t fooling anyone.”

On June 1, 2020, exactly a week after the death of George Floyd and in the midst of widespread anti-police riots, Vasquez, a Las Cruces city council member at the time, posted on social media, “Black lives matter. Until we deconstruct and rebuild the systems of oppression that keep black people in perpetual harm, justice will not be served.”

He added, “that includes law enforcement, the economy, and the disgusting wealth inequality that keeps white rich men in power.”

Further, a 2022 article published by The Washington Free Beacon resurfaced a local news interview with a masked man resembling Vasquez but named “James Hall” at a 2020 George Floyd protest.

In the interview, the man says, “We need serious police reform in this country,” and “it’s not just about defunding police, it’s about defunding a system that privileges white people over everyone else.”

The outlet reported that deleted screenshots of social media posts showed Vasquez present at that same rally.

The Free Beacon wrote that a Vasquez spokesperson confirmed he was the man who made those statements, saying, “the name was attributed to him by the news station when he declined to give his name as he wanted the focus to be on the organizers.”

More recently, during National Police Week last week, Vasquez voted against a resolution expressing support for law enforcement officers. The measure praised police officers’ service and sacrifice, condemned “defund the police” rhetoric, criticized sanctuary city policies, and credited Trump-era “law and order” policies with helping reduce violent crime.

Democrats argued the resolution was overly partisan and politicized.

This week, Vasquez published an opinion piece in which he detailed recent visits with local law enforcement leaders and wrote, “I will always stand with our law enforcement officers.”

He also touted a $250,000 cutout he secured for the Carlsbad Police Department, as well as a $1.06 million investment for Albuquerque’s Real Time Crime Center and a $500,000 investment for technology and training upgrades at the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office.

Vasquez emphasized in his opinion piece that “in addition to our thanks and admiration, they also need and deserve resources, investments, and funding.”

A Vasquez campaign spokesperson responded to the new criticisms by telling Fox News Digital, “If you want to know where Vasquez stands on public safety, look at the receipts.”

“This year alone, Vasquez singlehandedly brought $1.8 million home for local police departments from Albuquerque to Carlsbad to pay for technology, station upgrades and facilities for more officers to keep themselves and New Mexicans safe,” the spokesperson said.

The campaign also pointed to a recent speech Vasquez delivered on the House floor honoring Doña Ana County Deputy Sheriff Antonio Aleman, who was killed in the line of duty in 2025.

His critics, however, believe his prior statements will come back to haunt him this November.

Richardson told Fox News Digital that “New Mexicans know Vasquez is firmly anti-law enforcement, which is why they’ll elect long-time Albuquerque Police Officer Greg Cunningham to replace him this fall.”

A Marine veteran and 20-year New Mexico law enforcement officer, Cunningham is running unopposed in the GOP primary for the seat.

In a statement shared with Fox News Digital, Cunningham asserted that Vasquez “wants New Mexicans to forget who he really is.”

“He spent years parroting the same anti-police rhetoric that gutted morale and hollowed out departments across this country. Now, six months out from an election, he writes a love letter to law enforcement and hopes nobody remembers the rest,” he said.

“I remember. So do the officers I served alongside for years on the streets of Albuquerque. I know what it’s like to work a drug case at three in the morning. I know what these drugs are doing to New Mexico families, because I spent my career going after the people pushing them. And I know the difference between a politician who shows up for a Police Week photo op and a leader who has his officers’ backs the other 51 weeks of the year.”

He added that “when I get to Washington, the men and women wearing the badge in NM-02 will finally have something they have not had in this seat. One of their own.”

据《金融时报》引述知情人士报道，调解人认为，伊朗与美国双方即将达成协议，将停火协议延长60天，并为伊朗核计划谈判设定框架。

《金融时报》星期六（5月23日）的报道还称，协议将包括逐步重新开放霍尔木兹海峡、讨论稀释或转移伊朗浓缩铀（enriched uranium）库存，以及华盛顿方面采取措施放松对伊朗港口的封锁并解除制裁。

路透社未能立即核实该报道。

伊朗：谈判重点是结束战争

伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃星期六接受伊朗伊斯兰共和国广播电视台采访时说，当前谈判重点是推动结束“被强加的战争”，暂不深入讨论核问题，伊美正在努力敲定谅解备忘录。

巴加埃说，现阶段谈判不涉及核问题及其相应的解除制裁的具体细节，但伊朗要求解除制裁、尤其是释放被冻结资产等诉求，已明确写入14条谅解备忘录文本。

新华社引述他说，伊朗之所以暂不深入讨论核问题，是因为认为核问题曾两度成为针对伊朗发动战争的借口。当前伊朗将重点放在推动结束包括黎巴嫩在内的“所有战线上的战争”，可能在30天或60天后的下一个阶段再进入核问题的谈判。

巴加埃说，过去一周，伊美意见已趋于一致，双方目前正在努力敲定谅解备忘录。他还说，未来三到四天的进展值得关注。

关于霍尔木兹海峡问题，巴加埃指出，此问题“与美国无关”，属于伊朗与沿岸国家之间的事务。伊朗正与阿曼就霍尔木兹海峡问题继续推进合作。

Los Angeles tank holding dangerous chemicals is set to explode or leak, officials say. Here’s what to know

Tens of thousands of Southern California residents have been evacuated after officials warned a leaking chemical tank holding a “highly flammable” substance at an aerospace facility would inevitably fail and potentially explode.

The tank at GKN Aerospace is estimated to contain 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate, a “highly volatile” substance used in the production of plastics, according to Orange County Fire Authority Chief Craig Covey. It is not clear when the tank will fail, Covey said.

Methyl methacrylate is a flammable plastic epoxy that generates its own heat. That means if it leaks into the atmosphere, any spark or flash could lead to an uncontrolled fire or explosion, said Elias Picazo, an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Southern California. At the moment, fire officials are working to keep the tank cooled.

Covey told CBS Los Angeles that this is “the most significantly dangerous event” he’s been a part of in his decades in fire service.

“This is bad as I’ve ever seen,” he added.

So far, no injuries or deaths have been reported. GKN Aerospace is in Garden Grove, a town about 38 miles south of Los Angeles.

Health risks of methyl methacrylate

Methyl methacrylate is a respiratory irritant, health experts told CBS Los Angeles. Exposure to the chemical can cause lung, skin and eye irritation, nausea and dizziness.

Covey said there are “two options” right now. In one scenario, the tank could fail and spill thousands of gallons of “very bad chemicals into the parking lot and that area,” he said.

Because the chemical is heavier than air, its vapor would settle and sink. Covey said crews have used sandbags to build containment barriers so that any spilled chemicals do not leak into storm drains or nearby waterways.

In the second scenario, the tank could blow up, Covey said. This would send methyl methacrylate particles into the air. Covey said it’s unclear how widespread or dangerous such an explosion could be. An uncontrolled explosion would also affect surrounding tanks, which hold chemicals and fuel.

Efforts to keep the tank cool are continuing Saturday. Covey said he and other officials are also working to determine other options to safely end the incident.

Covey said no particles that could compromise public health have entered the air as of Friday, and there is no active plume emitting from the tank. However, people have been advised to stay indoors.

Homes within a one-mile radius of the aerospace facility have been evacuated. There is no timeline for when the evacuation orders will be lifted.

The cause of the leak remains under investigation.

孟加拉国今年至少有86名儿童死于确诊麻疹感染，另有426名儿童出现与麻疹相符的症状。孟加拉正努力应对数十年来最严重的麻疹疫情之一。

近几个月来，麻疹（measles）病例迅速增加，医院不堪重负，本已脆弱的医疗服务体系，尤其是在农村地区和人口稠密的低收入城市地区，面临着严峻的挑战。

卫生服务总局的数据显示，3月15日至5月23日期间，全国共发现6万2507起疑似麻疹病例，以及8494例实验室确诊病例。

路透社报道，孟加拉国卫生官员星期六（5月23日）说，五岁以下儿童最容易感染重症甚至死亡，尤其是那些未接种疫苗或仅部分接种疫苗的儿童。

世界卫生组织上个月指出，常规免疫接种覆盖率下降增加了大规模疫情暴发的风险。

新加坡去年HIV新增病例回升至166起 过半属晚期感染

2026年5月23日 / 联合早报

数码发展及新闻部兼保健卫生部政务部长拉哈尤，星期六在“新加坡人类免疫缺乏病毒、肝炎与性传播感染大会”上致辞时说，我国过去10年来在应对HIV方面，取得稳健进展。 （传染病管理局提供）

本地去年共有166名公民与永久居民，感染可导致爱之病的人类免疫缺陷病毒，高于前年的151起。超过一半的新增病例在确诊时已属晚期感染，凸显公众及早检测的重要性。

为鼓励人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）患者在确诊后尽早接受治疗，并进一步减轻他们的经济负担，保健卫生部将从今年6月1日起，把用于支付HIV药物费用的保健储蓄户头每月提款上限，从目前的550元调高至850元，并允许患者动用家庭成员的保健储蓄户头，支付治疗费用。

数码发展及新闻部兼保健卫生部政务部长拉哈尤，星期六（5月23日）在“新加坡人类免疫缺陷病毒、肝炎与性传播感染大会”上致辞时说，我国过去10年来在应对HIV方面，取得稳健进展。

2023年及之前，平均每年新增病例超过200起；2024年和2025年，每年新增病例则少于200起。从1985年至2025年底，本地居民累计确诊9857起HIV病例，其中仍有7248名感染者在世。

HIV会攻击人体免疫系统，若未及时接受治疗，可能发展成爱之病，即后天免疫缺乏综合征（Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome，简称AIDS）。

性行为是主要传播途径 160人为男性

传染病管理局数据显示，166起新增病例中，160人（96.4%）为男性；92人在确诊时，已处于HIV晚期感染阶段。

性行为仍是HIV传播的主要途径，占161起病例。其中，男男性行为感染占过半数，共94起；男女性行为占54起；双性恋性行为占13起。

166名新增感染者中，有108人是在求诊时才发现受感染；另有19人则是在进行自我检测时发现受感染，而且大多属于较早期阶段。

在联合国爱之病规划署（UNAIDS）提出的“95-95-95”目标下，我国已取得一定进展。所谓“95-95-95”目标，是指95%感染者知晓病情、95%确诊者接受治疗，以及95%接受治疗者成功抑制病毒。

拉哈尤说，目前本地近九成HIV感染者已知晓自身病情；在确诊患者中，约96%正在接受治疗；而接受治疗的患者中，近94%已成功抑制体内病毒。

她指出，我国虽已达成第二项目标，并接近达成第一和第三项目标，但仍面对一些挑战，包括减少延迟确诊、改善患者与后续医疗服务的衔接，以及确保患者不会因经济因素，而无法接受治疗。

HIV自检试剂盒每月卖出逾800盒

为此，除了调高保健储蓄户头的相关提款上限，政府持续与社区伙伴合作，推广HIV自我检测。

自去年1月起，自检试剂盒已在全岛超过100个地点发售，包括指定零售药房及社区伙伴机构。相关需求稳定，目前平均每月售出超过800盒。

拉哈尤说，这项措施扩大HIV检测渠道，不再局限于传统诊所环境，让公众能以更私密、便捷的方式，了解自身感染状况，同时与现有诊所检测服务形成互补。

爱之病行动小组（Action for AIDS，简称AfA）执行主任郭永辉告诉《联合早报》，新增确诊病例回升，显示现有的HIV预防与检测工作仍有加强空间。

他认为，我国可进一步强化HIV应对策略，包括鼓励公众定期检测、减少大众对HIV感染者的偏见，以及扩大暴露前预防性投药（Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis，简称PrEP）的使用。

他说，PrEP是最有效的HIV预防方式之一，但由于费用、公众认知及获取渠道等因素，普及程度仍有限。

郭永辉也说，推出HIV自检试剂盒，是加强防治工作的重要一步，有助鼓励公众更早及更频繁地检测。不过，他强调，自我检测只是第一步，后续仍须有复检、确诊后的治疗衔接，以及预防服务等支援配套。

传染病管理局建议，所有成年人无论是否属于高风险群体，一生中至少接受一次HIV检测。

谁说老了不能玩跑酷？ 女皇镇新活跃乐龄中心让黄金年华也能很“潮”

2026年5月23日 19:08 / 联合早报

活跃乐龄中心不再只是唱歌、下棋或做简单健康操的地方。女皇镇一家活跃乐龄中心引入跑酷、声音疗愈等新颖元素，同时展示适合乐龄的居家配备和智能科技，希望改变公众对乐龄中心的刻板印象。

这家位于女皇镇史德林路（Stirling Road）第170座组屋底层的中心，名为“生活无限在170”（Life Unlimited @170），由狮子乐龄之友协会设立，是协会旗下第11家活跃乐龄中心，并获得淡马锡基金会资助。

负责女皇镇基层事务的律政部兼社会及家庭发展部高级政务次长蔡瑞隆，星期六（5月23日）为新中心主持开幕。

中心共两层楼，部分空间布置成组屋“示范单位”，展示适合年长者的居家设备，让居民了解如何通过科技提升居家安全，例如可在跌倒时减轻撞击力的地板、感应式照明系统等。

中心内也展示科技公司Omvius开发的智能健康监测系统，这款床边感应器可在使用者入睡后收集心率和呼吸率等数据。整套设备费用估计数百元。

此外，中心也配备供公众免费使用的健康检测仪器和运动器材。

狮子乐龄之友协会执行董事黄秀琳受访时说，协会一向提倡善用科技辅助护老工作，过去也曾为租赁组屋的年长居民安装基本感应器，以协助留意他们在家中的安全情况。

她说：“我们希望重塑护老模式，把重点从预防孤立感，转向积极打造快乐长寿，为此把智能方案和富有活力的项目带入社区，鼓励乐龄充实生活。”

以同一多元活动模式拟增九家乐龄中心

为吸引较年轻的壮龄人士，新中心也引入更多较新颖的活动，包括亲乐龄跑酷（parkour），以及近年流行的声频浴（sound bath）等。

所谓“亲乐龄跑酷”，并非高难度的特技动作，而是经过调整的低强度训练，主要帮助年长者锻炼平衡感、反应和灵活度。“声频浴”则是通过颂钵等器具发出的声波与振动，帮助参与者放松和舒缓压力。

协会接下来计划在全岛增设九家活跃乐龄中心，并会继续通过这类新颖、多元的活动，吸引壮龄与乐龄。

Omvius创办人黄曼玲指出，目前市场上的健康监测设备多以穿戴式装置为主，但公司采用的感应器并非佩戴式，对年长者来说更舒适方便。她也强调，相关数据仅供使用者本人或获授权的家人参考。

蔡瑞隆致辞时说，社会谈到人口老龄化时，往往聚焦于挑战，但新中心展现了乐龄生活的更多可能。“乐龄不是人生的终点，而是另一段精彩旅程的起点，希望大家可以在这里结交朋友、学习新事物，发挥所长。”

王素珍（中）在跑酷教练的指导下，尝试适合乐龄的伸展运动，觉得是很新鲜的初体验。（谢智扬摄）

新中心自今年2月投入运作以来，已吸引超过100名新会员。

68岁的林爱碹与丈夫几乎每天上午都会到中心做皮拉提斯等运动，下午则在中心担任义工。

“我住在女皇镇很多年了，但也是最近参加乐龄中心活动后，才认识更多街坊。以前忙着工作，没有时间运动和社交，现在退休了，更要多活动，保持身心健康。”

王素珍（72岁）平时会到女皇镇美玲街的狮子乐龄之友中心参加活动，星期六特地到新中心参观，并首次体验亲乐龄跑酷。

在教练指导下，她尝试了多项适合年长者的伸展训练。她说，自己原本没想过跑酷也适合年长者，但体验后发现，这类运动有助锻炼反应和灵活度，能帮助预防跌倒。

习特会后 吴钊燮：大陆在第一岛链部署逾百艘船舰

台湾国安会秘书长吴钊燮星期六（5月23日）在社媒发文，指“习特会”后，中国大陆在第一岛链部署了超过100艘船舰。 （互联网）

台湾国安会秘书长吴钊燮在社媒发文，指“习特会”后，中国大陆在第一岛链部署了超过100艘船舰。

吴钊燮星期六（5月23日）在X平台（前称推特）写道，“我们的情监侦情报显示，中国在过去数日已于第一岛链周边部署超过100艘船舰，而且时间点紧接在北京峰会之后。”

他指出，“在世界这个区域，中国是唯一破坏现状、威胁区域和平与稳定的问题根源。”

吴钊燮星期五（22日）也在X平台分享中国大陆科研船“同济号”驶入台湾周边海域的视频片段，指“中国一直在海上胁迫台湾，这是非法且挑衅的行为。台湾海巡署立场坚定，驱逐中国入侵者。”

另据《太报》报道，台湾海巡署5月7日查获中国大陆科研船“同济号”于鹅銮鼻东南方29海里（54公里）进行非法调查作业，被海巡“成功舰”以广播驱离。

台海巡署星期五晚指出，上星期五（15日）傍晚5时15分再发现“同济号“于花莲港东方33海里（限制水域外6.3海里）非法投放科仪器材。

海巡署立即调派“兰屿舰”实施广播驱离作业，但对方透过无线电以“没有中华民国，只有中华人民共和国”回应。“兰屿舰”回应说，“你船位于我方专属经济海域，未经许可不得从事任何科研活动，请你立即离开”，随后实施迫近造浪、照射灯光，以及无人机空拍监控等方式，干扰其作业后，迫使“同济号”收回调查仪器，航离台湾水域。
