Today’s edition of quick hits.
- 值得关注的案件：“特朗普政府周四起诉加利福尼亚州选举官员，要求法官阻止该州在下个月的中期选举中计算联邦政府认定为‘可能’非公民的选民的邮寄选票，直至其身份得到确认。”
- A case worth watching: “The Trump administration sued California election officials Thursday, asking a judge to bar the state from counting mail-in ballots for next month’s midterm elections from people the federal government has identified as ‘likely’ noncitizens until their status can be confirmed.”
- 首先，唐纳德·特朗普宣布俄罗斯与乌克兰之间达成“能源停火”。随后，俄罗斯无视该协议，现在乌克兰以牙还牙进行报复：“乌克兰周四袭击了一座俄罗斯炼油厂，放弃了其称莫斯科未予理会的涉及能源目标的短暂停火。正如乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基所说，他感到被美国总统唐纳德·特朗普出卖。”
- First, Donald Trump announced an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine. Then, Russia ignored the deal, and now, Ukraine is retaliating in kind: “Ukraine attacked a Russian oil refinery Thursday, abandoning a brief truce involving energy-related targets that it said Moscow did not heed, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he felt betrayed by U.S. President Donald Trump.”
- 周三晚上，在提及美国总统发动的对伊朗战争时，他对记者说：“只要我想让它结束，它就会结束。”但如果事实真是如此，特朗普难道不应该解释他为何不想让它结束吗？
- On Wednesday night, in reference to the war with Iran that the American president launched, he told reporters, “As soon as I want it to end, it’ll end.”But if that’s the case, shouldn’t Trump explain why he doesn’t want it to end?
- 还记得特朗普曾挑选此人担任美国司法部长，而JD·万斯投入时间和精力，辅佐这位佛罗里达州共和党人在国会山周旋吗？：“前众议员马特·盖茨正面临两名女性的性贩卖指控，她们周四在美国联邦法院对他及另外两名男子提起民事诉讼。”
- Remember when Trump picked this guy to serve as the U.S. attorney general, and JD Vance invested time and effort, shepherding the Florida Republican around Capitol Hill?: “Former Rep. Matt Gaetz is facing allegations of sex trafficking by two women who filed a civil lawsuit against him and two other men in federal court Thursday.”
- 我将密切关注此事：“联邦当局正在调查寄往全国多个国会和选举办公室、含有‘可疑物质’的信件，执法官员周四表示。”
- I’ll be keeping an eye on this one: “Federal authorities are investigating letters containing ‘suspicious substances’ that were mailed to multiple congressional and election offices nationwide, law enforcement officials said Thursday.”
- 此报道典型地反映了这位共和党参议员的整个职业生涯：“两位最近被唐纳德·特朗普总统提名担任联邦法院终身职务的北卡罗来纳州律师，尽管曾参备高调起诉前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科梅的案件，仍成功获得共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯的支持。”
- This report is emblematic of the Republican senator’s entire career: “Two North Carolina lawyers recently tapped by President Donald Trump for lifetime posts on the federal bench managed to get sign-off from GOP Sen. Thom Tillis — despite their involvement in the high-profile prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey.”
- 如此多的无竞标合同：“这是6月初，白宫有一项‘紧急且迫切’的任务：西翼需要安装四盏吊灯。为何如此匆忙？‘在这种情况下，250周年纪念、生日及其他活动[已删除]的环境’，一份此前未公开的合同文件，日期为6月5日，如此写道。……唐纳德·特朗普总统的80岁生日恰好落在第二天的周日——6月14日——也就是白宫草坪上UFC比赛的同一天晚上。”
- So many no-bid contracts: “It was early June, and the White House had an ‘urgent and compelling’ job: Four chandeliers needed to be installed in the West Wing. Why the rush? ‘In this particular case, the environment of the 250th anniversary, the birthday, and other events [redacted],’ reads a previously unreported contracting document dated June 5. … President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday fell the following Sunday — June 14 — the same night as the UFC fight on the White House lawn.”
- 对于金伯利·吉尔福伊尔来说，这个月正变得相当忙碌：“埃里克·戴特斯，这位指控金伯利·吉尔福伊尔要求他汇款10万美元以支付她的美国运通账单，以换取她在参议院确认听证会前协助特朗普政府的共和党捐助者，已对吉尔福伊尔及其法律团队提起诽谤诉讼。”See you tomorrow.
- It’s proving to be quite a month for Kimberly Guilfoyle: “Eric Deters, the Republican donor who accused Kimberly Guilfoyle of asking him to wire her $100,000 to pay her American Express bill in exchange for her help with the Trump administration ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Guilfoyle and her legal team.”See you tomorrow.
