Deirdre Walsh: 共和党议员们在佛罗里达州的会议上,大部分人表达了对特朗普的支持,并强烈批评曼哈顿地区检察官艾尔文·布拉格,认为他的调查具有政治动机,是对权力的滥用。他们认为布拉格的调查是‘政治闹剧’,并利用其在众议院的权力对布拉格展开调查,而不是对特朗普本人。尽管如此,一些代表摇摆选区的共和党人私下表示希望在2024年转向支持其他共和党候选人,例如佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯,但由于特朗普在共和党基层仍然很受欢迎,他们不愿公开与特朗普对抗。 共和党议员们虽然也谈论了银行危机、边境安全法案和家长权利法案等议题,但特朗普的争议仍然主导着共和党的讨论,掩盖了其他议题。 Sequoia Carrillo: 洛杉矶学区支持人员,包括校车司机、维护人员和特殊教育助理等,举行三天罢工,要求在四年内加薪30%。学区则提出在五年内加薪23%并提供奖金的方案,但工会拒绝了学区的最后三次提议。罢工导致超过40万学生停课,学区正在努力为学生提供替代的膳食和托儿服务。学区负责人阿尔贝托·卡瓦略表示,学区目前正处于财政困境,学生人数逐年下降,教师职位也难以填补,因此他必须在保护学区长期发展和满足员工要求之间取得平衡。工会则表示,他们正在为那些即使工作非常重要,但许多人仍生活在贫困线以下的成员争取权益。 Scott Horsley: 硅谷银行的倒闭引发了人们对联邦储备系统监管的质疑。多家新闻报道指出,监管机构在银行倒闭前多年就已发出警告,但问题并未得到及时纠正。银行存在快速增长的存款、过度依赖科技行业、以及大量资金投资于长期债券等问题,这些问题在利率上升时变得尤为突出。虽然监管机构通常会私下纠正问题,以免损害银行声誉,但这次事件暴露了监管的不足。一些人认为,金融业在华盛顿的影响力导致了放松监管,而2018年通过的一项法律也使硅谷银行免受更严格的监管。美联储计划在5月1日发布一份内部报告,以进一步调查此事。

Deep Dive

Chapters
House Republicans, despite their planned legislative agenda, are largely supporting Donald Trump amidst his potential indictment. They are criticizing the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation as politically motivated, launching their own investigation into the prosecutor instead of Trump himself. While some Republicans in swing districts may be considering other candidates for 2024, the party remains largely unified behind Trump due to his popularity with the base.
  • House Republicans support Trump, attacking the prosecutor instead.
  • Investigation into Bragg, not Trump.
  • Some Republicans in swing districts considering alternatives for 2024 but remain reluctant to oppose Trump's base.
