（渥太华综合电）加拿大西部偏远地区发生严重校园枪击案，造成包括枪手在内的10人死亡。案发期间，有学生滞留在封锁的教室里长达两小时。
加拿大总理卡尼对这起案件表示震惊。他推迟原定当天在哈利法克斯宣布新国防工业战略以及赴德国参加慕尼黑安全会议的行程。
加拿大广播公司（CBC）报道，这起星期二（2月10日）发生在不列颠哥伦比亚省塔布勒岭（Tumbler Ridge）中学的枪击案，一名“身穿连衣裙的棕发女性”是唯一嫌疑人，在作案后自杀死亡。警方尚未确定枪手的作案动机。
塔布勒岭位于不列颠哥伦比亚省东北部，地处偏远，人口约2400。案发中学共有160名学生，年龄介于12岁至18岁。官员称，当地警员在接到报警后，在两分钟内赶到现场。
警方在校园内发现六具遗体，另在与案件相关的住所发现两具遗体，还有一人在送医途中死亡。
加拿大皇家骑警说，枪击案造成27人受伤，其中两人伤势严重。
12年级学生奎斯特说，下午1点半，他刚到教室不久，走廊里就响起警报，指示大家关上门，因为学校已经封锁。他们滞留在教室里两个多小时，直到警察护送他们离开。他形容“感觉自己置身在电视里才见过的场景”。
在加拿大，大规模枪击事件极其罕见。今年4月，温哥华发生一起针对菲律宾文化节的车辆袭击事件，造成11人死亡。
近年，加拿大也发生两起重大枪击案，即2020年4月，一名51岁男子乔装警员在新斯科舍省枪杀22人，最终被警方击毙。1989年12月，魁北克省蒙特利尔理工学院发生枪击案，一名枪手杀害14名女学生、打伤13人后畏罪自杀。

以色列总理旨在确定会谈范围，与此同时美国与伊朗官员在阿曼恢复讨论

以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡将于周三在白宫会见美国总统唐纳德·特朗普，此次访问预计将围绕伊朗问题展开，因为华盛顿正在权衡外交手段与军事行动威胁，而以色列则试图确定谈判的范围。
特朗普已表示伊朗问题将主导议程。在接受Axios电话采访时，总统称德黑兰“非常希望达成协议”，但警告称：“要么我们达成协议，要么我们将不得不采取非常强硬的措施——就像上次那样。”
内塔尼亚胡在启程前往华盛顿前对记者表示，他打算阐述以色列的立场：“我将向总统提出我们关于谈判原则的概念——这些基本原则不仅对以色列重要，对任何希望中东实现和平与安全的国家也至关重要。”

此次会面发生在美国和伊朗官员自去年夏天12天战争以来首次在阿曼恢复谈判几天后，而美国在海湾地区继续保持大量军事存在——这一姿态被广泛视为威慑以及与德黑兰谈判中的筹码。
美国第一政策研究所首席研究官兼美国安全主任雅各布·奥利多特表示，从美国角度看，伊朗被视为全球安全挑战而非地区问题。“这是一个可能具有重大历史意义的时刻，”他告诉福克斯新闻数字版。
“伊朗不仅仅是中东问题，它是影响美国全球利益的全球性问题，”他补充道，称该政权“可能是世界上最古老的全球恐怖网络……通过代理人造成数千名美国人死亡。”
奥利多特表示，政府的战略似乎结合了外交与可见的军事压力。“总统已经明确……如果谈判不成功，军事选项不能被排除，”他说，“该地区的军事资产是与伊朗谈判战略的一部分。”

对以色列而言，主要关切不仅是伊朗的核计划，还有其弹道导弹 arsenal 和地区武装组织网络。
特朗普向Axios表示，美国至少部分认同这一观点，称任何协议不仅需要解决核问题，还需涉及伊朗的弹道导弹。
以色列情报专家西玛·谢因警告称，仅聚焦核限制的谈判可能使以色列面临风险。“这次访问表明，美国特使维特科夫和库什纳可能无法单独最好地代表以色列利益，这反映出信心不足。他们一周前刚访问以色列——但内塔尼亚胡希望直接与特朗普对话，因此以色列的立场不会有任何模糊之处。”
谢因表示，伊朗可能在外交上拖延，以观察华盛顿是否将谈判局限于核问题而回避导弹限制。她的分析进一步指出，允许伊朗保留更广泛能力的制裁减免协议可能在政权面临内部压力时稳定其统治，同时保留其军事影响力。
“现在达成协议将有效挽救这个政权，因为它对内部问题没有真正的解决办法。通过协议解除制裁将为其争取喘息空间，帮助稳定政权，”她说。
“如果达成协议，美国必须要求释放所有被拘留者，并坚持人道主义措施，包括对重伤者提供医疗支持。华盛顿需要直接参与执行这些条款。”

内塔尼亚胡在离开以色列前表示，他和特朗普将讨论“一系列话题”，包括加沙问题，而美国支持的战后框架和停火协议实施仍陷入停滞。
据以色列报道，内塔尼亚胡计划告诉特朗普，加沙和平计划第二阶段“没有进展”，反映出在解除武装、治理和安全安排方面存在持续争议。
谢因指出，内塔尼亚胡此次访问的时机可能使他避免下周重返华盛顿参加和平委员会首届会议，该倡议在以色列议会颇具争议。
“以色列对和平委员会中土耳其和卡塔尔的存在及其对其他成员以及巴勒斯坦权力机构技术官僚政府的恶意影响深感关切，”耶路撒冷安全与外交事务中心主席丹·迪克尔告诉福克斯新闻数字版。
“哈马斯对加沙的控制并未减弱，而国际社会解除哈马斯武装的承诺似乎有所减弱，”他补充道，“美国越久不采取行动对抗伊朗政权，以色列就越难以决心强制解除哈马斯武装，这两者都需要新的国际加沙结构的制裁和支持。”
“总理深切担忧的是，不仅伊朗政权方面局势停滞，加沙局势似乎也停滞了。这两个方面的时机都至关重要。对以色列而言，窗口期似乎正在关闭，”迪克尔说。

Trump, Netanyahu to meet at White House in high-stakes talks on Iran, Gaza plan
Israeli prime minister aims to shape scope of talks as US and Iranian officials resume discussions in Oman
By Efrat Lachter
Fox News
Published February 11, 2026 6:00am EST
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday in a visit expected to center on Iran, as Washington weighs diplomacy against the threat of military action and Israel pushes to shape the scope of negotiations.
Trump has signaled the Iranian file will dominate the agenda. In a phone interview with Axios, the president said Tehran “very much wants to reach a deal,” but warned, “Either we make a deal, or we’ll have to do something very tough — like last time.”
Netanyahu, speaking before departing Israel for Washington, said he intends to present Israel’s position. “I will present to the president our concept regarding the principles of the negotiations — the essential principles that are important not only to Israel but to anyone who wants peace and security in the Middle East,” he told reporters.

The meeting comes days after U.S. and Iranian officials resumed talks in Oman for the first time since last summer’s 12-day war, while the United States continues to maintain a significant military presence in the Gulf — a posture widely viewed as both deterrence and for holding leverage in negotiations with Tehran.
From the U.S. perspective, Iran is seen as a global security challenge rather than a regional one, according to Jacob Olidort, chief research officer and director of American security at the America First Policy Institute. “It’s an important historic time of potentially seismic proportions,” he told Fox News Digital.
“Iran is not so much a Middle East issue. It’s a global issue affecting U.S. interests around the world,” he added, calling the regime “probably the world’s oldest global terror network… [with] thousands of Americans killed through proxies.”
Olidort said the administration’s strategy appears to combine diplomacy with visible military pressure. “The president has been clear… should talks not be successful, the military option cannot be off the table,” he said. “Military assets in the region serve as part of the negotiation strategy with Iran.”

[ISRAELI UN AMBASSADOR SENDS STARK WARNING TO IRAN AMID GROWING UNREST]
For Israel, the main concern is not only Iran’s nuclear program but also its ballistic missile arsenal and regional network of armed groups.
Trump indicated to Axios that the United States shares at least part of that view, saying any agreement would need to address not only nuclear issues but also Iran’s ballistic missiles.
Israeli intelligence expert Sima Shein has warned that negotiations narrowly focused on nuclear restrictions could leave Israel exposed. “The visit signals a lack of confidence that American envoys, Witkoff and Kushner, alone can represent Israel’s interests in the best way. They were in Israel just a week ago — but Netanyahu wants to speak directly with Trump, so there is no ambiguity about Israel’s position,” she added.

[TRUMP SAYS IRAN CALLED ‘NUMEROUS’ TIMES TO MAKE DEAL AS CARRIER ENTERS MIDDLE EAST WATERS]
Shein says Iran may be stalling diplomatically to see whether Washington limits talks to nuclear issues while avoiding missile constraints. Her analysis further suggests that a sanctions-relief agreement that leaves Iran’s broader capabilities intact could stabilize the regime at a moment of internal pressure while preserving its military leverage.
“An agreement now would effectively save the regime at a time when it has no real solutions to its internal problems. Lifting sanctions through a deal would give it breathing room and help stabilize it,” she said.
“If there is an agreement, the United States must demand the release of all detainees and insist on humanitarian measures, including medical support for those who have been severely injured. Washington would need to be directly involved in enforcing those provisions.”

Netanyahu said before leaving Israel that he and Trump would discuss “a series of topics,” including Gaza, where a U.S.-backed postwar framework and ceasefire implementation remain stalled.
According to Israeli reporting, Netanyahu plans to tell Trump that phase two of the Gaza peace plan “is not moving,” reflecting continued disputes over disarmament, governance and security arrangements.
The timing of Netanyahu’s visit may also allow him to avoid returning to Washington the following week for the inaugural session of the Board of Peace, Shein said, noting the initiative is controversial in Israel’s parliament.

“Israel is deeply concerned about the presence of Turkey and Qatar on the board of peace and their malign influence on other members as well as on the Palestinian authority’s technocratic government,” Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, told Fox News Digital.
“Hamas’s control of Gaza has not weakened, while international commitments to disarm Hamas have appeared to weaken,” he added, “The longer the U.S. waits before taking action against the Iranian regime, the more compromised Israel is in its ability and determination to forcibly disarm Hamas, both of which require the sanction and the blessing of the new international structures on Gaza.”

“The prime minister’s deep concern is the stalled state of affairs both against the Iranian regime and apparently in Gaza. Timing is critical on both fronts. And for Israel, the window seems to be closing,” Diker said.

美国民主党全国委员会（DNC）一位官员向CBS新闻透露，上月通过小额捐款为主的筹款活动筹集了逾740万美元，为该党在今年秋季中期选举前创下了有记录以来最强劲的年初基层动员开局，旨在夺回失去的政治优势。
据该官员表示，筹款成果部分得益于民主党亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利（Mark Kelly，潜在2028年总统候选人）的呼吁，以及新的选民登记运动引发的关注。此次筹款紧随去年11月的中期选举之后，当时尽管民主党全国委员会面临严峻的财务状况，选民仍在弗吉尼亚州和新泽西州州长竞选中给予民主党重大胜利。
民主党全国委员会执行主任罗杰·劳（Roger Lau）在声明中表示：”我们的势头正在全国范围内增强，从民主党横扫地方选举、拿下长期由共和党占据的席位，到创纪录的小额捐款和志愿者报名，我们正汇聚这种力量支持各地民主党候选人，在11月选举中大胜，并遏制特朗普鲁莽政府的行为。”
选举动态和近期选举胜利已让一些民主党人开始关注今年秋季中期选举出现”蓝色浪潮”的可能性，该党正试图摆脱上届总统选举周期的失利——当时民主党失去了总统和国会参议院控制权，众议院控制权也未能夺回。
然而，走向这一目标的同时，民主党也面临着与共和党对手相比的严峻财务差距，这可能对选票结果产生重大影响。
共和党全国委员会（RNC）去年筹集了超过1.72亿美元，截至2026年初拥有9500万美元现金储备。同期，民主党全国委员会筹集了近1.46亿美元，2025年底剩余1400万美元，却背负1750万美元债务。
两党均需在2月20日前向联邦选举委员会（FEC）提交2026年1月的财务报告。740万美元的基层捐款预计将成为民主党全国委员会本月总筹款的一部分，但并非全部。其基层筹款数据包括通过电子邮件、短信和在线广告等渠道筹集的捐款。
共和党人正利用2025年的财务优势作为证明点，暗示特朗普总统及其共和党可能在11月的选举中逆势而上——当时所有众议院席位都将面临改选，共和党控制的参议院控制权也岌岌可危。
共和党全国委员会发言人基尔斯滕·佩尔斯（Kiersten Pels）在短信中表示：”特朗普总统的政绩正在激发创纪录的基层支持，让共和党候选人有机会在中期选举中打破历史规律。”
“民主党及其左翼盟友正准备在中期选举中投入大量外部资金，这正是共和党全国委员会建立这笔战争基金的原因——与他们的支出正面抗衡，开展针对性选民动员，并支持特朗普总统和全国候选人。”
民主党全国委员会的债务与2025年11月选举前开设的大额信用额度有关，部分用于加强党内基础设施。去年接受CBS新闻采访时，马丁（Martin）将该信用额度描述为”重大赌注”，称其让民主党能够在非大选年竞选中大量投资，并认为民主党”大获全胜”。
共和党目前在众议院仅占微弱多数，民主党有很大机会在特朗普总统任期最后两年重新夺回众议院控制权。但从共和党手中夺回参议院控制权则面临更严峻挑战。
民主党要在今年秋季夺回参议院，可能需要保住所有当前面临改选的席位，并从北卡罗来纳州、缅因州、俄亥俄州、阿拉斯加州、德克萨斯州和爱荷华州的竞选中夺取四个席位。
这一切都为预计耗资巨大、竞争激烈的中期选举奠定了基础，美国政治中的”金钱游戏”变得更加关键。最近几周，民主党全国委员会多次借助亚利桑那州关键参议员凯利的影响力筹集资金。
今年冬天，凯利与特朗普政府国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）陷入紧张对峙，这一事件被民主党全国委员会用作小额捐款呼吁的素材。
赫格塞斯在凯利参与一段与其他议员联合录制的视频后，下令对其展开调查——视频中凯利提醒军人不必服从非法命令。1月在社交媒体上，赫格塞斯声称凯利和其他民主党人”发布了煽动性视频，明显意图破坏良好秩序和军事纪律”，并表示五角大楼正启动程序，以”煽动性言论和一贯鲁莽不当行为”为由降低凯利的军衔和退休金。
随后，凯利以违反第一修正案为由起诉五角大楼对其进行报复。凯利和司法部上周在法庭上陈述案情，法官表示将在未来几周内做出裁决。
据CBS新闻报道，周二联邦大陪审团驳回了司法部对凯利及其他五名议员就该视频提起刑事指控的请求。
公职人员为全国性政党背书是极为常见的做法，但凯利所处的局面却对华盛顿产生重大影响——不仅让他进一步成为全国焦点，也为民主党全国委员会上月的筹款邮件提供了话题素材。
凯利在1月的民主党全国委员会筹款邮件中表示：”彼得·赫格塞斯可以威胁降低我的军衔和养老金，但我不会让他或任何人恐吓我，他也阻止不了我捍卫民主，对抗一心要摧毁它的总统。”

DNC tallied over $7 million in grassroots fundraising last month
February 11, 2026 / 5:00 AM EST / CBS News
The Democratic National Committee raised over $7.4 million through small dollar-focused fundraising last month, an official told CBS News, giving the party one of its strongest grassroots starts to the year on record ahead of this fall’s midterms as it tries to claw back lost political ground.
The party reached that mark partially due to appeals from Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, and interest tied to a new voter registration push, according to the official. The fundraising follows last November’s off-year elections, where voters gave Democrats major wins in the Virginia and New Jersey governor races even as the DNC faced a challenging financial picture.
“Our momentum is building across the country, from Democrats sweeping local elections and flipping long-held Republican seats, to record-setting small dollar fundraising and volunteer sign-ups,” DNC Executive Director Roger Lau said in a statement. “We are harnessing this energy to support Democratic candidates across the map, win big in November’s elections, and put a check on Trump’s reckless administration.”
Election dynamics and recent election wins already have some Democrats eying the potential of a blue wave in this fall’s midterms as the party tries to push past the last presidential election cycle, when it lost control of the presidency and the Senate while falling short of retaking the House.
Momentum in that direction, however, has come at the same time that the party faces a fraught financial gap compared to its GOP counterpart that could end up carrying major implications down the ballot.
The Republican National Committee brought in more than $172 million last year, and headed into 2026 with $95 million in the bank. Over that same span, the DNC raised close to $146 million and closed 2025 with $14 million left over and $17.5 million in debts.
Both parties have until Feb. 20 to report their January 2026 finances to the Federal Election Commission. The $7.4 million in grassroots dollars is expected to be part, but not all, of the DNC’s total fundraising haul for the month. The DNC’s grassroots fundraising figures include donations that were raised through channels like email, texts and online ads.
Republicans are already using their 2025 financial advantage as a potential proof point that President Trump and his GOP could defy normal political gravity come November, when every House seat is on the ballot and control of the Republican-held Senate is also on the line.
“President Trump’s record is driving historic grassroots support and giving Republican candidates the opportunity to defy history in the midterms,” RNC spokeswoman Kiersten Pels said in a text message.
“Democrats and their left-wing allies are preparing to flood the midterms with outside money, which is exactly why the RNC has built this war chest — to go toe-to-toe with that spending, conduct targeted voter outreach, and support President Trump and our candidates nationwide.”
The DNC’s debt is tied in with a large line of credit opened before the November 2025 contests meant in part to help bolster party infrastructure. In an interview with CBS News last year, Martin characterized the line of credit as a “big bet” that allowed the party to invest heavily in those off-year races, and argued the party “won big.”
Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House, and Democrats have a strong path to potentially winning back the chamber for the final two years of Mr. Trump’s time in the White House. Flipping the Senate from GOP control is a far more stark challenge.
For Democrats to win back the Senate this fall, they would likely have to hold on to every seat they currently have that is also on the ballot and also flip four seats from a competitive batch of contests in North Carolina, Maine, Ohio, Alaska, Texas and Iowa.
All of that sets the table for what is expected to be an expensive and tense midterm election, making the larger money game in American politics even more critical. And in recent weeks, the DNC has at times turned to Kelly, the battleground senator from Arizona, to help bring in cash.
This winter, Kelly has been mired in a tense confrontation with Mr. Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that has been evoked in DNC small-dollar asks.
Hegseth directed an investigation into Kelly after he participated in a video with other lawmakers reminding service members they don’t have to follow illegal orders. In a January social media post, Hegseth claimed that Kelly and his fellow Democrats had “released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline,” and said the Pentagon was initiating proceedings to reduce Kelly’s rank and retirement pay over “seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct.”
Shortly after, Kelly sued the Pentagon for allegedly retaliating against him in violation of the First Amendment for comments he made years after he served in the military. Kelly and the Justice Department argued their cases in court last week and a judge said he would rule within the next few weeks.
And on Tuesday, a federal grand jury turned down an effort by the Justice Department to criminally charge Kelly and five other lawmakers over the video, CBS News reported.
An elected official lending their name to help the national party is incredibly common. But the situation Kelly finds himself in is one that carries major implications in Washington — and has pushed him further into the national spotlight while providing fodder for donor emails that helped the DNC raise money last month.
“Pete Hegseth can threaten to reduce my rank and my pension. But I am not going to let him intimidate me, or anyone else,” Kelly said in one January DNC fundraising email. “He is not going to stop me from defending our democracy from a president who is hellbent on destroying it.”

“他在逃避自己的过去，而移民与海关执法局（ICE）却在我们的社区里横行。”广告旁白说道。
这则广告的目标是纽约市国会候选人亚历克斯·博雷斯（Alex Bores），他曾在与国防和情报机构有着长期联系的科技公司Palantir工作。
画面闪过博雷斯的LinkedIn页面。旁白指出Palantir与美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）的合作，而该机构在纽约市的行动已在左翼引发强烈抗议。
“ICE的运作由博雷斯的技术提供动力。曼哈顿比这更明智。”旁白说道。
出人意料的是，这则广告得到了它所谴责的行业势力的支持。其背后的超级政治行动委员会（super PAC）是一个名为“引领未来”（Leading The Future）的新政治委员会的附属机构。该委员会去年夏天由包括Palantir联合创始人乔·朗斯代尔（Joe Lonsdale）在内的一群科技巨头发起，旨在应对中期选举前两党对人工智能日益增长的强烈反对。
“听着，我们正处于文明将迎来惊人进步的边缘，对吧？”朗斯代尔在去年11月接受CNBC采访时表示，“但你们有很多疯狂的民粹主义者，他们在做的一些零散而激烈的事情会彻底破坏这一切。我们不能让这种情况发生。”
Palantir高管以及OpenAI和风险投资界的领袖正在卷入这场政治纷争。“引领未来”已承诺投入超过1亿美元支持对人工智能友好的候选人。他们还向国会领袖和唐纳德·特朗普总统的政治网络巨额捐款。
今年的赌注尤其高。国会正准备为该行业制定未来十年或更长时间的规则，而选民对人工智能发展的后果日益担忧，从能源账单到隐私保护再到失业问题。这种紧张局势得到凸显，几名民主党人已被迫退还与Palantir相关捐赠者的竞选捐款。
“像Palantir和OpenAI这样的大型科技公司近期增加的与选举相关的活动，可以被理解为对选举可能产生的后果的预防性措施。”锡拉丘兹大学教授哈米德·埃克比亚（Hamid Ekbia）表示，他是人工智能政策学术联盟（Academic Alliance for AI Policy）的创始人兼主任。“具体而言，Palantir处于弱势地位，因为最近有揭露其深度参与ICE活动。”
曾领导纽约州首个主要人工智能监管努力的博雷斯指责“引领未来”及其行业支持者虚伪。
“我因ICE合同而离开公司，选择原则而非职业生涯和数百万美元。他们从中获利，现在却用这些资金欺骗纽约人并攻击我。”他在一份声明中表示。
Palantir未回应多次置评请求。
资金流向分析
两名Palantir主要利益相关者是中期选举的活跃捐赠者：彼得·蒂尔（Peter Thiel），联合创始人兼亿万富翁风险投资家，与副总统JD·万斯（JD Vance）及特朗普政府其他人士关系密切；以及公司首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普（Alex Karp）。
根据联邦选举委员会（FEC）记录，卡普和蒂尔去年都向与共和党国会领导层结盟的委员会捐赠了数十万美元。蒂尔2025年的捐赠表明，他在2024年选举周期基本缺席后重新参与政治。卡普的捐赠历史则更难捉摸。
FEC记录显示，2023年，卡普向拜登和哈里斯的联合筹款委员会捐赠了36万美元。一年后，他向“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA Inc.）捐赠了100万美元。
人工智能成为Palantir的巨大福音。自2022年以来，该公司市值飙升超过1000%。这家国防科技公司一直致力于将人工智能与其数据和物流组织专长结合起来。
“我们的崛起以及我们相信将继续的崛起，是由美国境内越来越多了解人工智能价值的公司和机构推动的。”卡普本周在致股东的信中写道。
他一直是人工智能发展的直言不讳的倡导者，以绝对化的措辞阐述这一论点。
“我们将成为主导者，否则中国将成为主导者，而规则将因谁获胜而大不相同。”卡普去年在《Axios Show》节目中表示，“所以，当人们担心监控时，当然，那里存在巨大危险，但你们知道，如果美国不在领先地位，人们的权利将会少得多。”
根据联邦选举委员会记录，由行业资助的政治行动委员会“引领未来”在2025年下半年筹集了超过5000万美元，其中包括OpenAI总裁兼联合创始人格雷格·布罗克曼（Greg Brockman）及其妻子安娜（Anna）捐赠的2500万美元，以及风投公司a16z捐赠的2500万美元。
与“引领未来”合作的战略家杰西·亨特（Jesse Hunt）认为，碎片化的监管环境威胁到美国的竞争力。
科技行业正推动联邦标准以优先于州法律。特朗普已表示支持暂停州级监管，签署了一项行政命令，并得到了执行。德克萨斯州共和党参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）也提出了相关立法。
“我们如何走到这种绝望的境地，以及我们所倡导的政策有多严格？”亨特问道，“最终，我们不想做的是扼杀创新，让如今在人工智能和创新领域处于全球领先地位的美国陷入停滞，因为政策制定者屈服于极端意识形态。”
组织反制力量
“引领未来”及其反对者预计今年将在纽约、加利福尼亚、德克萨斯、伊利诺伊和俄亥俄州展开激烈较量。
作为反制，“公共优先”（Public First）组织应运而生，由前俄克拉荷马州民主党议员布拉德·卡森（Brad Carson）和前犹他州共和党议员克里斯·斯图尔特（Chris Stewart）领导。
该组织计划筹集5000万美元资金，并表示将“重点选举那些倡导负责任的科技政策、减少危害并防范人工智能最坏风险的候选人。”
“我们在公共优先组织所做的，在很多方面是拯救人工智能免于自我毁灭。”卡森表示，“因为如果放任不管，这种‘无为而治’的做法将导致已经在酝酿的巨大公众反弹。人们已经在磨刀霍霍了。”
尽管尚未正式决定支持或反对哪些候选人，但该组织特别提到了博雷斯这样的候选人。他在纽约州议会任职期间发起了《负责任人工智能安全与教育法案》（Responsible AI Safety and Education, RAISE Act）。
该法案将于3月生效，要求人工智能公司制定旨在防止“重大危害”（如“制造或使用化学、生物、放射或核武器”或犯罪行为）的安全协议，并报告开发和运营中的事件，如数据泄露或危险故障。
今年寻求连任的纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔（Kathy Hochul）去年签署了该法案，并在上个月的州长国情咨文演讲中指出了人工智能政策的挑战。
“我们不会允许技术破坏我们的基础设施，也不会允许它破坏我们的民主。”霍楚尔说道。
去年的盖洛普民调显示，80%的美国人认为政府应该为人工智能安全和数据安全制定规则，“即使这意味着人工智能发展速度会放缓”。并且，两党都对人工智能数据中心可能推高公用事业账单、造成失业以及行业动荡表示担忧。
一个松散但跨党派的联盟——从佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis）到前特朗普战略家史蒂夫·班农（Steve Bannon）（均为共和党人），再到独立的佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）——决心维护各州制定自身规则的权利。
“让我们不要表现得好像假视频或假歌曲能把我们带到某种乌托邦。”德桑蒂斯在去年12月佛罗里达州塞布林的一次活动中表示，他正在推销自己的州级立法提案——《人工智能公民权利法案》，该法案提供隐私保护、国家安全限制以及数据中心建设的监管。
Palantir在民主党初选中面临攻击
Palantir长期以来一直受到自由派的争议，现在已在中期选举辩论中频繁出现。
在伊利诺伊州参议院民主党初选中领先的众议员拉贾·克里希纳莫尔蒂（Raja Krishnamoorthi）最近在辩论中因自2015年以来从Palantir首席技术官希亚姆·桑卡尔（Shyam Sankar）那里收到的竞选捐款（总计超过2.9万美元，包括去年的7000美元）而受到抨击。
“你已经证明，当需要行动时你却缺席——接受来自一个ICE承包商（Palantir首席技术官）的资金并资助你的竞选，这表明这不是你优先考虑的事情。”克里希纳莫尔蒂的竞争对手之一、伊利诺伊州副州长朱莉安娜·斯特拉顿（Juliana Stratton）说道。
“至于我从Palantir高管那里收到的捐款，当我得知此事后，我们已将其捐赠给伊利诺伊州移民权利组织。”克里希纳莫尔蒂回应道。
随着公众监督的增强，其他民主党人也在退还与Palantir相关的竞选捐款。包括一个在线追踪器，该追踪器突出显示了与该公司有关联的主要政治捐款接受者。
在Palantir总部所在地科罗拉多州，参议员约翰·希肯卢珀（John Hickenlooper）和众议员杰森·克劳（Jason Crow）本周宣布，在《科罗拉多太阳报》（Colorado Sun）多次询问其筹款记录后，他们将向移民权利组织捐赠数万美元，以抵消多年来从Palantir员工那里收到的捐款。
该公司的争议地位也反映了人们对人工智能及其后果的广泛担忧。
“我还没有看到人工智能解决癌症，我现在非常希望它能做到。”在伊利诺伊州第7选区参选的民主党反垄断律师里德·肖沃尔特（Reed Showalter）表示，“后果主要是电力和水费增加，以及本地区、本州和全国人民的就业和工资在中期出现下降。”
“公共优先”组织的前犹他州共和党议员斯图尔特承认，政策制定者在应对这个知之甚少且发展迅速的技术时面临着困难。
“我们所有人都在努力提出更周全的解决方案，因为这是一个全新的问题。”斯图尔特表示，“现在这不是一个党派问题，我希望它不会成为一个党派问题。”
他敦促候选人认真对待选民的担忧，并提出具体的解决方案来应对人工智能的直接影响。
“在我12年的国会议员生涯中，我不记得有人和我讨论过电费问题，对吧？而这个问题即将出现。”他说，“他们必须准备好，而不是耸耸肩说‘是的，这是个问题’。我们必须准备好说‘这是我们认为应该采取的措施’。”
How Palantir and AI money is shaping the midterms

“He’s running from his past, while ICE is in our communities,” the ad’s narrator says.
The target of the ad is Alex Bores, a congressional candidate in New York City who used to work for Palantir, the tech company with long ties to defense and intelligence agencies.
An image flashes of Bores’ LinkedIn page. The narrator notes Palantir’s work with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whose operations in New York City have sparked outcry on the left.
“ICE is powered by Bores’ tech. Manhattan is smarter than that,” the narrator says.
In a twist, the ad is backed by some of the very industry forces it condemns. The super PAC behind it is an affiliate of a new political committee, Leading The Future, launched last summer by a group of tech giants – including Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale – to confront a growing bipartisan backlash to artificial intelligence ahead of the midterm elections.
“Listen, we are on the verge of something amazing for our civilization, right?” Lonsdale said on CNBC in November. “But you have a lot of crazy populists, you have a patchwork of just really intense stuff they are doing that would just break all of this. And we can’t let that happen.”
Palantir executives and leaders from OpenAI and venture capital are wading into the political fray, with more than $100 million already pledged by Leading the Future to boost candidates friendly to AI. They’re also cutting big checks to congressional leaders and President Donald Trump’s political network.
The stakes are especially high this year. Congress is poised to craft the rules of the road for industry for the next decade or longer, and voters are growing increasingly worried about the consequences of AI development, from energy bills to privacy to job loss. Underscoring the tension, several Democrats have been pressured to return campaign contributions from Palantir-linked donors.
“The recent surge in election-related activities of big tech companies such as Palantir and OpenAI can be understood as preemptive measures against potential fallouts from the election,” said Syracuse University professor Hamid Ekbia, the founding director of the Academic Alliance for AI Policy. “Palantir, in specific, is in a vulnerable position because of recent revelations about its heavy involvement with ICE activities.”

Bores, who led one of the first major efforts to regulate artificial intelligence at the state level in New York, accused Leading The Future and its industry backers of hypocrisy.
“I quit their company over its ICE contract, choosing principle over my career and millions of dollars. They profited off of it, and are now using those funds to lie to New Yorkers and attack me,” he said in a statement.
Palantir did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
A look at the money
Two prominent Palantir stakeholders have been active midterm donors: Peter Thiel, a co-founder and billionaire venture capitalist with close ties to Vice President JD Vance and others in the Trump administration, and the company’s CEO, Alex Karp.
Both Karp and Thiel gave hundreds of thousands of dollars last year to committees aligned with Republican congressional leadership, according to FEC records. Thiel’s giving in 2025 signals reengagement after he largely sat out the 2024 election cycle. Karp has a more enigmatic donor history.
FEC records show that in 2023, Karp gave $360,000 to the joint fundraising committee for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. A year later, he contributed $1 million to MAGA Inc.

Artificial intelligence has been a boon for Palantir, which has seen its market capitalization skyrocket by more than 1000% since 2022. The defense tech firm has worked to leverage AI alongside its expertise organizing data and logistics.
“Our rise has been, and we believe will continue to be, driven by an increasingly discerning set of companies and institutions in the United States that understand the value of artificial intelligence,” Karp wrote to shareholders this week.
And he’s been an outspoken advocate for AI development, framing the argument in absolutist terms.
“We are going to be the dominant player, or China is going to be the dominant player, and there will just be very different rules depending on who wins,” Karp said on “The Axios Show” last year. “So, when people are worried about surveillance, of course, there are huge dangers there, but you know, you will have far fewer rights if America’s not in the lead.”
Leading the Future, the industry-funded PAC, raised more than $50 million in the second half of 2025, including $25 million from OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman and his wife, Anna, as well as $25 million from the venture capital firm a16z, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Jesse Hunt, a strategist working with LTF, argued that a fractured regulatory landscape is a threat to American competitiveness.
The tech industry is pushing for a federal standard that would preempt state laws. Trump has voiced support for a moratorium on state regulations, signing an executive order to do so, and Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz proposed legislation to that end.
“How doomer do we get here and how restrictive are the policies that one is advocating for?” Hunt asked. “Ultimately, what we don’t want to do is stunt innovation and allow what is now the global leader in artificial intelligence and the innovation sector to flatline because policymakers fall prey to fringe ideology.”
An effort to organize on the other side
LTF – and its opponents – expect to face off this year across New York, California, Texas, Illinois and Ohio.
Countering LTF is Public First, an organization led by former Oklahoma Democratic Rep. Brad Carson and former Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart.
The group is aiming to raise $50 million in funding and says it will “focus on electing candidates who champion responsible tech policies that reduce harm and protect against AI’s worst risks.”
“What we’re trying to do at Public First is, in many ways, saving AI from itself,” said Carson. “Because left alone, this kind of no touch approach is going to lead to an incredible public backlash that is already brewing. People are already sharpening their pitchforks.”
While emphasizing that “we haven’t made any formal decisions about who we’re going to support or not yet,” the group pointed to candidates like Bores, who sponsored the Responsible AI Safety and Education, or RAISE, Act while serving in the New York state legislature.
When it takes effect in March, the legislation will require AI companies to come up with safety protocols aimed at preventing “critical harm” – such as “the creation or use of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapon,” the bill states, or the conduct of a crime – and report incidents in development and operations, like data breaches or dangerous malfunctions.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is running for reelection this year, signed it into law last year and called out AI policy challenges in her State of the State address last month.
“We will not allow technology to undermine our infrastructure, and we won’t let it undermine our democracy either,” Hochul said.

A Gallup survey last year found that 80% of Americans believe the government should maintain rules for AI safety and data security, “even if it means developing AI capabilities more slowly.” And there are bipartisan concerns about AI data centers driving up utility bills along with potential job losses and industry disruptions.
And a loose and politically broad coalition, from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, both Republicans, to independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is determined to preserve states’ rights to make their own rules.
“Let’s not try to act like some type of fake videos or fake songs are going to deliver us to some kind of utopia,” DeSantis said at a December event in Sebring, Florida, touting his proposal for state legislation – a “Citizen Bill of Rights for AI” – providing privacy protections, national security restrictions, and regulations for data center construction.
Palantir faces attack in Democratic primaries
Long controversial with liberals, Palantir is already coming up in midterm debates.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, the front-runner in the Illinois Senate Democratic primary, was challenged in a recent primary debate for his history of campaign contributions from Palantir Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar, totaling just over $29,000 since 2015, including $7,000 last year.
“You already demonstrated that you’re not going to show up when it matters – to take money from one of the ICE contractors, the Chief Technology Officer of Palantir, and that funds your campaign, that demonstrates that that’s not what’s your priority,” said Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, one of Krishnamoorthi’s rivals.
“As for the donation that I received from a Palantir exec, when it came to my attention, we donated it to Illinois migrant rights groups,” Krishnamoorthi responded.
Other Democrats are also returning campaign contributions from Palantir as public scrutiny grows – including an online tracker highlighting top recipients of political donations linked to the company.
In Colorado, where Palantir is headquartered, Sen. John Hickenlooper and Rep. Jason Crow both announced this week that, like Krishnamoorthi, they’d give tens of thousands of dollars to immigrant rights groups to offset years of donations from Palantir employees, after the Colorado Sun made multiple inquiries about their fundraising records.
The company’s lightning-rod status also reflects broader concerns about artificial intelligence and its consequences.

“I have yet to see AI solve cancer, and I would love to see it right now,” said Reed Showalter, a Democratic antitrust attorney running in Illinois’ 7th District. “The consequences have largely been increased costs for electricity and water and a medium-term decrease in employment and wages for the people in both the district, the state, and the country.”
Stewart, the former Utah Republican congressman with Public First, acknowledged the difficulty policymakers face grappling with a poorly understood and rapidly developing technology.
“All of us are trying to develop, you know, more thoughtful answers on this, because this is such a new issue,” Stewart said, adding that “it’s not a partisan issue right now, and I hope it doesn’t become a partisan issue.”
He urged candidates to take voters’ concerns seriously and offer specific solutions on how to deal with AI’s immediate effects.
“In all my 12 years in Congress, I don’t remember ever having a conversation with someone about electrical bills, right? And it’s gonna come up,” he said. “And they’ve got to be prepared to, you know, not just kind of shrug and say, ‘yeah, it’s a problem.’ We’ve got to be prepared to say, ‘this is what we think we should do.’”

Washington — 众议院定于周三就《SAVE美国法案》进行投票，该法案将对选民登记和投票设置严格的新要求。民主党人警告称，这些举措将剥夺数百万符合条件选民的投票权。
《SAVE美国法案》要求在联邦选举中登记投票时必须提供公民身份证明文件，如护照或出生证明。同时，该法案还将实施投票时的照片身份证要求，这也是共和党人的另一项优先事项。该法案是众议院共和党人多年来试图在参众两院通过的一项措施的最新版本。
共和党人称赞该法案是防止非公民投票的合理方式，尽管非公民投票的案例极为罕见。
“这项常识性立法只是为了确保美国公民决定美国的选举——其实就是这么简单，”路易斯安那州共和党众议长迈克·约翰逊周二表示。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）与众议院共和党会议主席莉萨·麦克莱恩（Lisa McClain）众议员、众议院多数党党鞭汤姆·埃默（Tom Emmer）共同出席了2026年2月10日在美国国会大厦举行的新闻发布会。Kevin Dietsch / Getty Images
约翰逊援引民调称，民众对登记投票时出示公民身份证明和投票时出示照片身份证的支持率很高。2024年10月盖洛普的一项民调显示，83%的美国人支持首次登记投票时提供公民身份证明的政策。而去年8月皮尤研究中心的一项民调显示，83%的美国人支持要求选民出示政府签发的照片身份证才能投票。
但民主党人和一些专家认为，该法案将对数千万无法提供公民身份证明文件的美国人产生影响。
“如果你是50%没有护照的美国人之一，或者你是数千万无法快速获得出生证明的美国人之一，《SAVE法案》实际上可能会剥夺你的投票权，”纽约州民主党参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默周一在参议院发表讲话时称该法案“极端”。
特朗普总统呼吁共和党人支持该立法，称如果不通过，“我们将不再拥有一个国家”。特朗普表示，所有选民必须出示身份证明和公民身份证明至关重要。但他进一步要求终止邮寄选票，除非有例外情况。
约翰逊对该法案在众议院的通过表示有信心。
“尽管民主党人的反对激烈、前后矛盾且坦率地说荒谬可笑，共和党人将继续与绝大多数希望选举安全的美国人站在一起，”约翰逊表示，“我们将做正确的事，做常识性的事，并通过这项法案。”
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周一批评该立法，指责共和党人将“压制选民作为选举策略”。
“所谓的《SAVE法案》就是这个意思，”他说，“而这一版本比上一版本更糟糕。”
这位纽约州民主党人坚称“它不会通过”，并补充说，如果它“勉强通过众议院，那么在参议院就会胎死腹中”。
该法案的早期版本曾两次在众议院通过，得到少数民主党人的支持。但参议院通过大多数立法所需的60票门槛使得上议院通过该法案的可能性不大，共和党领袖尚未着手处理该法案。
南达科他州共和党参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune）近几周面临巨大压力，要求推进该法案。该法案的支持者呼吁他使用所谓的“冗长辩论”（talking filibuster）策略来规避结束辩论所需的60票门槛，但这样做会占用宝贵的辩论时间，并使民主党人能够提出无限数量的修正案。
多位参议员表示，参议院共和党人周二在闭门午餐会上讨论了推进该立法的方案。犹他州共和党议员迈克·李（Mike Lee）在参议院推动“冗长辩论”，他表示，关于该策略的介绍反响良好。
南达科他州共和党议员迈克·鲁兹（Mike Rounds）告诉记者“讨论很有成效”，但他称“冗长辩论”“非常不可行”。
“尽管如此，这仍是一些人感兴趣的事情之一，”鲁兹说，“我们将继续对此进行更多研究。事实上，我很希望能看到《SAVE美国法案》能够提交投票，并让我们的民主党同僚就这个问题投票。”
为达到60票门槛，参议院共和党人至少需要7名民主党人的支持。而阿拉斯加州共和党议员莉萨·穆尔科斯基（Lisa Murkowski）已经公开表示反对，理由是距离中期选举太近，实施新的联邦选举要求会带来问题。
“选举日临近，各州正深入进行筹备工作，此时出台新的联邦要求，将迫使选举官员为遵守可能缺乏必要资源的新政策而仓促应对，这将对选举完整性产生负面影响，”穆尔科斯基周二在X平台（原推特）上表示，“确保公众对选举的信任是我们民主的核心，但联邦越权并不是实现这一目标的途径。”
图恩周二表示，参议院共和党人正在就该立法的前进道路进行“非常深入的讨论”。
“我们如何走到投票这一步还有待观察，”图恩补充道。

House to vote on the SAVE America Act as GOP makes election bill push
February 11, 2026 / 7:52 AM EST / CBS News
Washington — The House is set to vote Wednesday on the SAVE America Act, which would implement strict new requirements for registering to vote and casting ballots, moves that Democrats have warned would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.
The SAVE America Act would require documentation that shows proof of citizenship, like a passport or a birth certificate, to register to vote in federal elections. It would also implement photo ID requirements for voting itself, another GOP priority. The bill is the latest iteration of a measure House Republicans have sought to pass through both chambers for several years.
Republicans have lauded the measure as a reasonable way to prevent noncitizens from casting ballots, though instances of noncitizens voting are exceedingly rare.
“Common-sense legislation to just ensure that American citizens decide American elections — it really is that simple,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, said Tuesday.

Johnson pointed to polling that shows high levels of support for showing proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. An October 2024 poll from Gallup found that 83% of Americans back a policy to require people who are registering to vote for the first time to provide proof of citizenship. And a poll from the Pew Research Center published last August found 83% of Americans favor requiring voters to show government-issued photo ID to vote.
But Democrats and some experts have argued that the bill would have implications for millions of Americans who don’t have access to documents proving their citizenship.
“If you’re one of the 50% of Americans who doesn’t have a passport, or if you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans who can’t quickly access your birth certificate, the SAVE Act could, in effect, take away your right to vote,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said on the Senate floor Monday, calling the legislation “extreme.”
President Trump has called on Republicans to support the legislation, saying “we won’t have a country any longer” if it’s not enacted. Mr. Trump has said it’s essential that all voters show identification and proof of citizenship. But he’s also gone a step further and demanded an end to mail-in ballots, with some exceptions.
Johnson has expressed confidence in the legislation’s passage in the House.
“Despite the vehement and incoherent and frankly ridiculous opposition from Democrats, Republicans will continue to stand with the overwhelming majority of Americans who want secure elections,” Johnson said. “We’re going to do the right thing, we’re going to do the common-sense thing, and we’re going to pass this.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the legislation Monday and accused Republicans of adopting “voter suppression as an electoral strategy.”
“That’s what the so-called SAVE Act is all about,” he said. “And this version is worse than the last version.”
The New York Democrat insisted that “it’s not going to pass,” adding that if it “squeaks by the House, it’s dead on arrival in the Senate.”
Earlier versions of the bill have passed the House twice, with support from a handful of Democrats. But a 60-vote threshold for advancing most legislation in the Senate makes passage in the upper chamber unlikely, and GOP leaders have yet to take up the measure.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, has faced intense pressure in recent weeks to move forward with the bill. The legislation’s proponents have called on him to use a maneuver known as a talking filibuster to sidestep the 60-vote threshold for ending debate, but doing so would eat up valuable floor time and enable Democrats to offer unlimited amendments.
Senate Republicans discussed how to move forward with the legislation at their conference lunch Tuesday, multiple senators said. Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, who’s led the push on the talking filibuster in the upper chamber, said a presentation on the maneuver was well-received.
Sen. Mike Rounds, a South Dakota Republican, told reporters “it’s been a good discussion,” but he called the talking filibuster “very unworkable.”
“Nonetheless, it’s one of those things that some of the folks have got an interest in,” Rounds said. “We’re going to continue to do some more research on it. Reality is, I’d love to be able to see this particular SAVE Act brought in and voted on, and make our Democrat colleagues vote on the issue.”
To reach the 60-vote threshold, Senate Republicans would need support from at least seven Democrats. And already one Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, has come out against it, citing concerns about changes to elections too close to the midterms.
“Election Day is fast approaching. Imposing new federal requirements now, when states are deep into their preparations, would negatively impact election integrity by forcing election officials to scramble to adhere to new policies likely without the necessary resources,” Murkowski said on X on Tuesday. “Ensuring public trust in our elections is at the core of our democracy, but federal overreach is not how we achieve this.”
Thune said Tuesday that Senate Republicans are having a “very robust conversation” about the path forward for the legislation.
“How we get to that vote remains to be seen,” Thune added.

美国商务部长卢特尼克星期二在参议员听证会上承认，他在爱泼斯坦2008年被定罪后，曾与后者碰面。这推翻了他早前的说法，引来朝野议员呼吁他引咎辞职。 （路透社）
（华盛顿综合电）美国商务部长卢特尼克改口承认，他在已故性罪犯爱泼斯坦2008年被定罪后，曾与后者见面，与此前的说法相矛盾。但他仍坚决否认与爱泼斯坦有更亲近的关系。
卢特尼克星期二（2月10日）在参议院拨款委员会一个小组委员会的听证会上承认，自己在爱泼斯坦2008年因教唆未成年少女卖淫被定罪后，曾在2012年与家人一同到爱泼斯坦位于加勒比海美属维尔京群岛的私人岛屿共进午餐。
他说：“我确实跟他一起吃午餐，因为当时我正同家人乘坐游艇在那一带度假，我的妻子、四个孩子和保姆当时都在场。”
对于爱泼斯坦隔年曾索取这名保姆的个人履历，还通过会计师安排与她碰面，卢特尼克坚称这与他完全无关，他没有任何隐瞒。
卢特尼克也否认曾于2011年到爱泼斯坦的纽约住家吃晚餐，但承认一份档案资料所显示，他们在当年5月有一次会面的计划。
尽管如此，他坚称，在2005年至2019年（爱泼斯坦在纽约扣留所待审时自杀身亡）的14年间，自己都跟爱泼斯坦没有任何关系。
卢特尼克去年曾在一个播客节目中回忆自己2005年搬到爱泼斯坦的纽约住家隔壁时，和妻子受邀到他家参观，两人当时备受困扰，决定“从此不再与这个恶心的人共处一室”。他还说：“我从未在社交、商业甚至慈善场合上与他碰头。”
然而，最新一批解密的爱泼斯坦档案却推翻了这些说法，顿时让他面临丢官的压力。民主党参议员希夫指卢特尼克的行径让人“严重怀疑他的判断力和操守”，共和党众议员玛西也说，既然英国有人因类似情况引咎辞职，卢特尼克也应当辞职。
不过截至目前，卢特尼克看来仍获得美国总统特朗普力挺。
白宫发言人德赛星期一（9日）说：“特朗普总统聚集了现代史上最杰出和最具变革性的内阁团队。全体特朗普政府成员，包括卢特尼克部长和商务部仍专注为美国人民谋福祉。”
白宫新闻秘书莱维特星期二也告诉记者：“卢特尼克部长继续是特朗普总统团队非常重要的一员，总统完全支持部长。”

对于爱泼斯坦隔年曾索取这名保姆的个人履历，还通过会计师安排与她碰面，卢特尼克坚称这与他完全无关，他没有任何隐瞒。
卢特尼克也否认曾于2011年到爱泼斯坦的纽约住家吃晚餐，但承认一份档案资料所显示，他们在当年5月有一次会面的计划。
尽管如此，他坚称，在2005年至2019年（爱泼斯坦在纽约扣留所待审时自杀身亡）的14年间，自己都跟爱泼斯坦没有任何关系。
卢特尼克去年曾在一个播客节目中回忆自己2005年搬到爱泼斯坦的纽约住家隔壁时，和妻子受邀到他家参观，两人当时备受困扰，决定“从此不再与这个恶心的人共处一室”。他还说：“我从未在社交、商业甚至慈善场合上与他碰头。”
然而，最新一批解密的爱泼斯坦档案却推翻了这些说法，顿时让他面临丢官的压力。民主党参议员希夫指卢特尼克的行径让人“严重怀疑他的判断力和操守”，共和党众议员玛西也说，既然英国有人因类似情况引咎辞职，卢特尼克也应当辞职。
不过截至目前，卢特尼克看来仍获得美国总统特朗普力挺。
白宫发言人德赛星期一（9日）说：“特朗普总统聚集了现代史上最杰出和最具变革性的内阁团队。全体特朗普政府成员，包括卢特尼克部长和商务部仍专注为美国人民谋福祉。”
白宫新闻秘书莱维特星期二也告诉记者：“卢特尼克部长继续是特朗普总统团队非常重要的一员，总统完全支持部长。”
