夏威夷州长乔什·格林:毛伊岛野火造成巨大破坏,数千人无家可归,州政府正在努力提供住房、物资和援助,并已申请联邦灾难救济。州政府呼吁民众提供住房帮助受灾居民,并表示在确认所有遇难者身份之前,受灾居民无法返回家园。 比尔·多曼特:野火过后的短期援助重点是安置灾民、寻找失踪人员和联系家庭,同时解决饮用水和燃料等基本物资短缺问题。灾区通讯中断,评估损失和失踪人数面临巨大挑战。 理查德·迪翁:在确认所有遇难者身份之前,受灾居民无法返回家园。 约翰·佩尔蒂埃:毛伊岛西侧部分地区被烧毁殆尽,评估损失和失踪人数面临巨大挑战。由于电力、网络和通讯中断,难以准确统计人员伤亡和建筑物损失。 布莱恩·曼恩:最高法院将审查Purdue Pharma与债权人达成的60亿美元破产协议,该协议使Sackler家族免于承担与阿片类药物危机相关的责任。司法部认为,如果Sackler家族免于承担责任,将为其他富有的公司和个人利用破产制度逃避责任创造先例。许多富有的公司和个人利用破产法来阻止诉讼,限制责任,而无需实际申请破产。最高法院的裁决将决定此类破产协议是否有效。 林赛·西蒙:最高法院将审查破产法是否赋予法院权力批准类似Purdue Pharma的和解方案,该方案使Sackler家族免于承担责任。 罗布·赫兹:波兰担心俄罗斯瓦格纳集团的雇佣兵可能威胁波兰及其邻国立陶宛的稳定。波兰与白俄罗斯之间的紧张关系始于白俄罗斯将瓦格纳集团士兵转移到其境内,以及白俄罗斯侵犯波兰领空事件。2021年,白俄罗斯政府向来自中东和非洲的移民发放签证,并协助他们越境进入波兰和立陶宛,导致波兰部署军队并修建边境围栏。白俄罗斯总统卢卡申科表示,他不得不阻止瓦格纳集团雇佣兵袭击波兰。波兰在选举临近之际增兵边境,引发了关于此举是否具有政治动机的质疑。鉴于波兰大选和来自白俄罗斯和俄罗斯的威胁,区分真实威胁和夸大其词变得困难。波兰国防部长表示,增兵是为了威慑白俄罗斯的侵略行为。
