For Elon Musk, the US Justice Department’s release of 3 million additional files related to criminal investigations of Jeffrey Epstein last month was immediately embarrassing. Attention in particular fell on emails Musk sent the financier several years after he pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and of procurement of minors to engage in prostitution in

Dozens of entities representing Indigenous peoples around the world have called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release a Siberian Indigenous climate advocate who is awaiting trial on terrorism charges in Russia. Daria Yegereva, an Indigenous Selkup woman from the city of Tomsk, was arrested on Dec. 17 after police searched her home and confiscated her electronic

Support for Donald Trump’s immigration efforts has dropped dramatically following a wave of public revulsion over violent scenes in Minneapolis involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, new poll figures show. The figures arrive as administration officials continue to double down on ICE enforcement, which has been getting increasingly dangerous. Nearly half (49%) of all

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence start-up xAI is experiencing something of an exodus. The company has lost two cofounders and at least six other researchers in the last few weeks, according to public posts from employees. Jimmy Ba, a cofounder who led research and safety efforts at the company, announced his departure on Tuesday via an

“We feel ashamed before the people, Pezeshkian said from the stage, as his government sought to balance domestic anger and external pressure.

A sizable majority of Americans want significant changes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement — but while they largely disapprove of ICE and say its tactics have gone too far, the country is divided over just how much to reform the agency and how to handle immigration policy broadly, according to a new survey. The new NBC

It’s smooth sailing these days for the United States and Honduras, the diminutive Central American nation and original “banana republic” that has just elected a new right-wing president, Nasry Asfura, to the delight of US sociopath-in-chief Donald Trump. The gringo leader has even taken credit for Asfura’s victory, having threatened to cut off US aid

A newly discovered document in the Jeffrey Epstein files undermines one of President Donald Trump’s central claims about the matter — specifically, his supposed lack of knowledge of Epstein’s misconduct. And it’s hardly alone. The release of millions of pages of documents a week and a half ago has repeatedly tested and sometimes contradicted the

No wonder President Donald Trump is so worried about the midterm elections. A tough day for some of his top officials and political priorities on Capitol Hill invoked a possibly miserable future for the White House. If Democrats win back the House in November — or even the Senate, in a long-shot scenario — Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — With President Donald Trump saying he believes Iran wants to make a deal on its nuclear program, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to arrive at the White House on Wednesday with his own urgent message: Expand the talks further. The visit from Netanyahu — their seventh meeting in Trump’s second

A couple of weeks ago, word began to spread around San Francisco that somebody was organizing a “March for Billionaires.” A mystery organizer had posted on social media that “billionaires get a bad rap,” and soon, some flyers appeared around the city. A website provided a time and rendezvous point; it also celebrated the societal

【大紀元2026年02月11日訊】（大紀元記者張婷綜合報導）佛羅里達州的邁阿密正在迎來更多的加州富豪。Meta首席執行官馬克‧扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）成為最新在邁阿密買房的加州億萬富翁。背後推力是加州議員正在推動徵收超5%的億萬富翁稅。 據《華爾街日報》報導，知情人士透露，扎克伯格在邁阿密印第安溪（Indian Creek）正在購買一棟新建成的海濱豪宅。目前尚不清楚該交易是否已經完成。 億萬富翁汽車經銷商諾曼‧布拉曼（Norman Braman）和他的妻子艾爾瑪‧布拉曼（Irma Braman）就住在扎克伯格新家的隔壁。艾爾瑪在接受電話採訪時告訴《華日》，扎克伯格告訴他們，他計劃在4月前搬入該房產。 「我們很高興他的到來。」艾爾瑪說。 加州議員正提議徵收5%的億萬富翁稅。而佛羅里達州不徵收州所得稅，這對於扎克伯格和貝佐斯這樣的億萬富翁來說，意味著節省數百萬美元。 邁阿密的房地產經紀人表示，加州提出的「億萬富翁稅」令那裡的富豪們感到不安，許多人現在正四處搜尋南佛羅里達的高端住宅。 這一稅收若最終獲得批准，將對截至2026年1月1日淨資產超過10億美元的加州居民一次性徵收5%的稅。 《華日》援引Coldwell Banker Realty的邁阿密房地產經紀人丹尼‧赫茨伯格（Danny Hertzberg）的話說，「加州的5%稅收確實在很大程度上把人趕走了。」 據彭博社報導，道格拉斯‧埃利曼（Douglas Elliman）地產公司的豪宅經紀人迪娜‧戈爾登泰爾（Dina Goldentayer）說，「他們（加州富豪）來了，而且正在提交報價。」 她表示，許多加州購房者都專注於價值3000萬美元至1.5億美元的「頂級豪宅」。然而，也有一些人正在尋找價格較低的房產，以便儘快安家落戶，而不是等待完美房產。 知情人士向《華爾街日報》透露，谷歌聯合創始人拉里‧佩奇（Larry Page）在過去幾個月裡以約1.88億美元的價格在邁阿密椰林區（Coconut Grove）購買了多處房產，而另一位谷歌聯合創辦人謝爾蓋‧布林（Sergey Brin）也一直在商談以5,000萬美元的價格在邁阿密海灘購買一處房產。 據彭博社報導，已有超過六位億萬富翁因潛在的稅收威脅而離開加州，如果該稅收提案獲得通過，另有15至20個家庭計劃離開。 除了億萬富翁外，還有一些加州富人因為加州的累進稅制等原因而選擇搬離。 彭博社援引「Jackson Square Capital」創辦人、財富管理人安德魯‧格雷厄姆（Andrew Graham）的話說，其他房地產買家多為年紀較大、生活富裕的加州人，他們希望保護個人財富而離開加州。 據格雷厄姆估計，他的客戶中已有約8%離開加州，原因是「政府治理不善」以及加州的累進稅制，另有20%的客戶正在認真考慮搬離。 責任編輯：林姸#
