🌍 Cultural Notes

  • Late Night Shows & Free Speech:
    In the U.S., late night shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live! often feature political satire and are protected by free speech laws. However, political pressure — especially direct threats from presidents — is seen as a serious danger to media independence.

  • Justice Department Independence:
    The U.S. Department of Justice is traditionally independent from the White House to prevent political misuse of law enforcement. Trump’s direct involvement — removing prosecutors, demanding prosecutions — goes against post-Watergate reforms.

  • U.N. General Assembly:
    Each September, world leaders meet at the U.N. in New York. While it's typically a stage for diplomacy, Trump used it to criticize other nations and promote his views, which is controversial given the assembly's international norms.

  • Typhoon Ragasa:
    With climate change intensifying storms, typhoons like Ragasa are stronger and more frequent. The evacuation of over a million people in China and deaths in Taiwan show the regional impact of such disasters.

今早要闻概览：

吉米·坎梅尔回归深夜秀
在被ABC短暂停播不到一周后，主持人Jimmy Kimmel重返荧幕。他在节目开场白中为自己关于Charlie Kirk被杀案嫌犯的言论道歉，同时批评特朗普政府对ABC施压是不美国的。他说：“节目不重要，重要的是我们能生活在一个允许我们拥有这种节目的国家。”

与此同时，辛克莱尔与Nexstar两大地方电视网拒绝播放Kimmel的节目，占ABC全国覆盖的20%。特朗普则再次威胁起诉ABC，自称上次“赚了1600万美元”。

特朗普再度干预司法部，追查政敌
特朗普解雇一名未能起诉其政敌的联邦检察官，并任命无检察经验的前私人律师Lindsey Halligan接任。同时，他公开要求司法部长Pam Bondi对Letitia James（纽约总检察长）、James Comey（前FBI局长）和众议员Adam Schiff等人提起诉讼。

而他的盟友，如涉贿50,000美元的边境事务官Tom Homan，却在调查尚未完成前被司法部放过。民主党虽展开国会调查，但因无控权，难以施压。

联合国大会：特朗普与泽连斯基会面
特朗普在会后表示乌克兰可收复全部领土，引发泽连斯基惊讶。此前，特朗普曾支持让乌克兰割地换和平。他在大会发言中批评他国、称气候变化为“最大骗局”，并抱怨联合国的电梯坏了。

台风拉加萨重创亚洲
今年最强台风拉加萨袭击香港和中国南部，逾百万居民被紧急撤离。台湾已确认14人死亡，逾120人失踪。
