拜登总统:支持以色列和乌克兰对美国的国家安全至关重要。他将正式请求国会为这两个国家提供持续的资金支持,这笔资金将用于提供武器,这不仅仅是慈善行为,也是为了避免美国卷入更广泛的冲突,并支持美国国防制造商的就业。他还强调了打击反犹太主义和伊斯兰恐惧症的重要性。 塔玛·基德:拜登总统在以色列之行后发表讲话,解释了美国应该关心远方冲突的原因,以及这与国会对乌克兰援助的资金即将耗尽的紧迫形势有关。她分析了共和党和民主党对支持以色列和乌克兰的不同立场,以及拜登政府将这两个国家联系起来的策略。 马特·米勒(美国国务院发言人):俄罗斯拘留美国记者阿尔苏·克尔马舍娃,这似乎是俄罗斯政府骚扰美国公民的又一案例。美国政府尚未正式收到关于逮捕的通知,并建议美国公民不要前往俄罗斯。 菲利普·里夫斯:阿尔苏·克尔马舍娃是自由欧洲电台/自由电台的编辑,该电台由美国国会资助。俄罗斯当局指控她未登记其美国护照,并以未登记为外国代理人为由对其提出指控。俄罗斯利用“外国代理人”法律来恐吓批评者和压制自由媒体和民间社会。自由欧洲电台/自由电台以及保护记者委员会呼吁立即释放克尔马舍娃。如果克尔马舍娃被判有罪,她可能面临最高五年监禁,俄罗斯可能会利用她作为谈判筹码。 麦尔斯·帕克斯:一些共和党领导的州退出了旨在防止选民欺诈的两党组织ERIC。这些州正在试图重建ERIC的功能,但专家们对此表示怀疑,认为这很困难且成本高昂。保守派活动家正在向各州和地方政府推销他们自己的欺诈检测软件。 米歇尔·马丁:俄罗斯拘留了第二名美国记者,阿尔苏·克尔马舍娃被指控未登记为外国代理人。美国政府呼吁立即释放她。共和党领导的州退出旨在防止选民欺诈的两党组织。
