Denna Monitor: 特朗普在共和党内仍然拥有强大的支持基础,尤其是在初选中。尽管他在整体民调中不受欢迎,并且在过去几次选举中未能扩大其支持基础,但许多共和党选民仍然相信他的说法,即使这些说法已被证实是虚假的。这表明美国政治环境的高度党派性,以及特朗普及其盟友对权威和可靠消息来源的持续攻击。特朗普利用最近的起诉事件来强化支持者的不满情绪,并可能在即将到来的共和党总统候选人辩论中发挥重要作用。 Piers S. Mbanugo: 尼日尔政变领导人正在迅速巩固权力,并与其他军事政权建立联系。尽管面临来自西非国家经济共同体(ECOWAS)的制裁和可能的军事干预威胁,他们仍然抵制国际社会的压力。政变对尼日尔人民的生活产生了重大影响,导致电力供应中断和经济困难。尼日尔国内对政变的反应存在分歧,既有支持者也有反对者。 Tom Dreisbach: NPR获得的政府记录揭示了美国移民拘留中心存在的严重问题,包括对精神病患者使用胡椒喷雾、对投诉者进行报复以及忽视医疗问题等。这些问题在特朗普政府时期就已存在,并且可能在新冠疫情期间有所恶化。尽管国土安全部表示致力于为被拘留者提供安全、可靠和人道的环境,但政府仍在努力解决这些问题,并且对营利性私人拘留设施的依赖仍然是一个持续的担忧。
