  • رفض عمدة مدينة نيويورك مامداني علناً اقتراحاً لاستثمار أموال المدينة في سندات إسرائيل.
  • كان مراقب الحسابات مارك ليفين قد أعرب مؤخراً عن دعمه لخطة الاستثمار، مما أدى إلى صراع مباشر.
  • ظهر خلاف بين المسؤولين الأعلى في المدينة بعد أسابيع قليلة من توليهم مناصبهم الجديدة.
  • يشير هذا الرفض العلني إلى وجود خط فاصل سياسي كبير داخل إدارة المدينة الجديدة.

ملخص سريع

بعد أسابيع قليلة من توليهم مناصبهم الجديدة، يقف مسؤولو مدينة نيويورك الأعلى على حافة صراع حول قرار مالي مثير للجدل. فقد رفض عمدة المدينة مامداني علناً اقتراحاً لاستثمار أموال المدينة في سندات إسرائيل، وهي خطوة تتعارض مباشرة مع الموقف الأخير لمراقب الحسابات مارك ليفين.

يمثل هذا الخلاف أكثر من مجرد اختلاف في السياسات؛ بل يشير إلى ظهور سريع لخط فاصل سياسي كبير داخل إدارة المدينة. وتعد التوقيتات حاسمة، حيث ينشأ الصراع في بداية فترات ولايتهم، مما يهيئ المسرح لاشتباكات محتملة مستقبلية حول أولويات المدينة المالية والسياسية.

تصادم الرؤى

يكمن جوهر النزاع في الاستثمار المحتمل للمدينة في سندات إسرائيل. كان مراقب الحسابات مارك ليفين قد أعرب سابقاً عن دعمه للخطة، مصوّراً إياها كقرار مالي وسياسي سليم. ومع ذلك، فقد رفض عمدة المدينة مامداني الآن الاقتراح بحزم، مؤكداً موقعاً معارضاً يضع المسؤولين في تعارض مباشر.

يتميز هذا الاختلاف بحدته. خلال الأسابيع الأولى من تولي مناصبهم، وجد عمدة المدينة ومراقب الحسابات أنفسهما على خلاف حول قضية بارزة. يؤكد طبيعة خلافهما العلنية عمق وجهات نظرهما المتعاكسة ويشير إلى فترة صعبة من الحكم تلوح في الأفق.

  • يدعم مراقب الحسابات ليفين الاستثمار في سندات إسرائيل
  • رفض عمدة المدينة مامداني الخطة
  • ظهر الخلاف في وقت مبكر من فترات ولايتهما

خطوط التشقق السياسية تظهر

الصراع بين عمدة المدينة مامداني ومراقب الحسابات ليفين هو أكثر من مجرد نزاع في السياسات؛ إنه تجسيد علني للأولويات السياسية المختلفة. من خلال رفض استثمارات السندات، يرسم عمدة المدينة مامداني خطأً واضحاً، مشيراً إلى نهج مميز للاستثمارات المالية والدولية للمدينة.

يمكن لهذا المواجهة المبكرة أن يكون لها تداعيات دائمة على قدرة الإدارة على التعاون في المبادرات المستقبلية. يشير طبيعة الخلاف العلني إلى أن هذا ليس تفصيلاً بسيطاً في السياسة بل اختلافاً جوهرياً في الأيديولوجيا، مما قد يعقد حكم مدينة نيويورك مستقبلاً.

يضع الرفض المسؤولين على مسار لتصادم محتمل بعد أسابيع قليلة من فترات ولايتهما.

تداعيات على حكم نيويورك

يؤدي الشقاق بين العمدة ومراقب الحسابات إلى عواقب عملية فورية على عمليات المدينة. يلعب مكتب مراقب الحسابات دوراً حاسماً في الإشراف المالي للمدينة، وقد يؤدي خلاف علني مع العمدة حول استثمار مهم كهذا إلى إعاقة أو تعقيد القرارات المالية. قد يؤدي هذا الديناميكية إلى زيادة التدقيق في مقترحات الميزانية المستقبلية واستراتيجيات الاستثمار.

علاوة على ذلك، يرسل هذا الانقسام العلني رسالة إلى الناخبين وأصحاب المصلحة حول العمل الداخلي لحكومة المدينة. إنه يشير إلى فترة من عدم الاستقرار والتفاوض المحتمل، حيث سيحتاج كلا القائدين إلى الإبحار في مواقفهم المختلفة مع إدارة شؤون المدينة اليومية. قد يتم اختبار قدرة الإدارة على تقديم جبهة موحدة على قضايا حاسمة أخرى في الأشهر القادمة.

نظرة إلى الأمام

لقد أسس رفض خطة استثمار سندات إسرائيل من قبل عمدة المدينة مامداني نقطة خلاف واضحة مع مراقب الحسابات مارك ليفين. يخدم هذا الصراع في بداية الولاية كمؤشر واضح على الديناميكية السياسية التي ستشكل قيادة المدينة. يتحول التركيز الآن إلى كيفية تعامل المسؤولين مع هذا الخلاف وما إذا كان سيؤثر على تعاونهما حول أولويات المدينة الأخرى.

سيتابع المراقبون عن كثب ما إذا كانت هذه قضية معزولة أو أولى معارك سياسة عديدة. سيشكل استجابة الإدارة لهذا الانقسام الداخلي اختباراً رئيسياً لاستقرارها وفعاليتها. ستكشف الأسابيع القادمة ما إذا كان هذا الخط التشققي يتعمق أم يمكن الوصول إلى تسوية.

أسئلة متكررة

ما هو الصراع الرئيسي بين مسؤولي نيويورك؟

رفض عمدة المدينة مامداني خطة لاستثمار أموال المدينة في سندات إسرائيل، في معارضة مباشرة لمراقب الحسابات مارك ليفين الذي أعرب عن دعمه للاستثمارات. يضع هذا الخلاف المسؤولين على مسار تصادم محتمل بعد أسابيع قليلة من فترات ولايتهما.

لماذا هذا الخلاف مهم؟

يسلط الصراع الضوء على خط فاصل سياسي عميق داخل إدارة المدينة الجديدة. تشير طبيعة خلافهما العلنية في وقت مبكر من فترات ولايتهما إلى اختلافات جوهرية في الأيديولوجيا قد تعقد الحكم والتعاون المستقبلي.

ما هي العواقب المحتملة على حكم نيويورك؟

قد يعقد الشقاق القرارات المالية ويزيد من التدقيق في مقترحات الميزانية المستقبلية. قد يتحدى أيضاً قدرة الإدارة على تقديم جبهة موحدة على قضايا حاسمة أخرى، مما يؤثر على استقرار حكم المدينة بشكل عام.

America's business leaders need to say something. Now.
Crime

America's business leaders need to say something. Now.

A still from a video showing federal agents holding down protestor Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, January 24, moments before they shot and killed him. VIDEO OBTAINED BY REUTERS/Reuters American business leaders have been overwhelmingly silent following the death of Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents. Their reticence is understandable: Who wants to anger Donald Trump and his supporters? But that's not an adequate response for many Americans. A question for America's business leaders: Do you think that masked federal agents were right to shoot and kill protester Alex Pretti on a Minneapolis street on Saturday? If the answer is yes, then no need to read further. For the rest of you: If you are sickened by what you saw this weekend — say that. Out loud. And don't qualify it with "both sides" framing — just say that the thing that you saw, with your own eyes, is appalling. I understand why most of you have not said this yet. You have several reasons to be quiet. The Trump administration has spent the last year making it clear that it will pressure and punish institutions and companies that don't bend to its will. See: Law firms, colleges, media companies, for starters. Attaching yourself to any issue that can be considered "political" can generate blowback, starting with the threat of consumer boycotts. A bunch of you did speak up in 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, and embraced all kinds of pro-diversity statements and policies. Many of you have since walked away from those moves, partly under pressure from the Trump administration and its allies. Why go through the whiplash again? To be clear, I'm not asking you to launch an ad campaign, or order up some performative Instagram posts, or any other kind of corporate theatre. Just say the thing you believe is right: It's wrong for masked federal agents to kill protesters in the streets, and that you condemn it. You can go further if you'd like. Perhaps a call for the Trump administration to take accountability for its agents' actions. Maybe you can ask for a truly independent investigation into Pretti's killing. Whatever your conscience tells you. And yes, I know that it's easier for me to say this than for you to do it. There could be consequences for you and your companies when you speak out: Most people are appalled by Pretti's death, but not all of them. Shortly after Pretti's death, Trump administration officials described him as a "would-be assassin" who "wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement" — characterizations without evidence, but meant to justify Pretti's death. On Saturday, Trump posted a photo of a gun administration officials say was removed from Pretti, and argued that "ICE had to protect themselves — Not an easy thing to do!" In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump said that the administration was "reviewing everything" about the shooting, but said that overall, his agents had done a "phenomenal job" in Minnesota. So there could be real risk for you. But the bigger risk is silence. That's because your silence tells everyone who is appalled by Pretti's death that they shouldn't speak up, either. That gives the federal government the tacit permission to carry on. So say you're against that. Now. Before it stops shocking you. Read the original article on Business Insider

Treasury Department cancels contracts with consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton after Trump tax return leak

Bessent announced that the government is canceling contracts worth $4.8 million annually. Harun Ozalp/Anadolu via Getty Images Bessent said the Treasury is canceling its contracts with consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. An employee at the firm pleaded guilty to leaking Trump and Musk's tax returns. The company's stock dropped more than 11% after the announcement. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Treasury Department cut contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton, whose employee leaked President Donald Trump's tax returns years ago. By early afternoon, the move sent the consulting firm's stock down more than 11%. The department has 31 different contracts with the firm, worth $4.8 million in yearly spending and $21 million in obligations, it said in a press release. The press release noted that Charles Edward Littlejohn, a former employee at the consulting firm, leaked the tax returns of thousands of taxpayers. The leak affected roughly 406,000 people, according to the IRS. "Booz Allen failed to implement adequate safeguards to protect sensitive data, including the confidential taxpayer information it had access to through its contracts with the Internal Revenue Service," Bessent said in the release. A company spokesperson said in a statement that it has "consistently condemned in the strongest possible terms" Littlejohn's actions, and has "zero tolerance" for breaking the law. "When Littlejohn's criminal conduct occurred over 5 years ago, it was on government systems, not Booz Allen systems. Booz Allen stores no taxpayer data on its systems and has no ability to monitor activity on government networks," the statement said. It added that the company supported the government's investigation, and that they "look forward to discussing this matter with Treasury." Littlejohn pleaded guilty in 2023 to one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax return information and was sentenced to five years in prison last year, according to the New York Times. He shared the returns of Trump and other wealthy Americans, including Elon Musk, with the outlet and ProPublica. Read the original article on Business Insider

ICE killings a ‘watershed moment’: Trump, Republicans risk breaking with the American people

Nadia Massih welcomes former New York State Assemblyman Kenny Burgos (D) who offers a candid reflection on the killing of Alex Pretti by an ICE agent, described as a veritable "watershed" in American political consciousness. Mr. Burgos speaks from both political and personal vantage points, invoking the silent fear ripping beyond immigrant communities. The violent tactics of ICE, also targeting lawful migrants and US citizens, are striking fear across American as the country faces a reckoning with the very soul of American democracy.

Jensen Huang says it's 'ridiculous' to say Nvidia's $2 billion investment in CoreWeave is another circular deal

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Markus Schreiber/AP Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pushed back on criticism of the chipmaker's investment structures. Huang said its latest investment in CoreWeave was not a circular deal. Chipmakers' investments in leading tech companies, which are also customers, have raised worries about an AI bubble. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is done with the questions about circular financing. Huang called it "ridiculous" to suggest that Nvidia's latest deal, a $2 billion investment in CoreWeave, is the latest circular deal between AI chipmakers and tech companies, a trend that has sparked some concern among some investors. "These are generational companies — the investments that we make is confidence in them," Huang told Bloomberg News. "But it's a small percentage of the amount of money that they ultimately have to go raise, and so the idea that it is circular is — it's ridiculous." As part of the arrangement, Nvidia is expanding its previous investment in the cloud company by buying $2 billion worth of its shares. According to a joint statement, the money will assist CoreWeave's "procurement of land, power, and shell to build AI factories." The future AI factories will then be powered by Nvidia's chips. Huang portrayed the latest deal and past arrangements with the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Elon Musk's xAI as just a small portion of what the companies need to raise to finance their massive AI expansion plans. For example, OpenAI is committed to spending roughly $1.4 trillion over the next eight years, largely on data centers. "Whatever we decide to invest is a small percentage, very small percentage of the overall amount of infrastructure, capital they're going to have to raise," Huang told CNBC in a separate interview. This is far from the first time Nvidia has bristled at concerns about its deals. In November, the world's largest company by market cap sent a letter to Wall Street analysts in response to investor Michael Burry of "The Big Short" fame, who has questioned whether Nvidia was on solid financial footing. "Nvidia's underlying business is economically sound, our reporting is complete and transparent, and we care about our reputation for integrity," the memo said. Burry has said he stands behind his analysis of the company, comparing it to one of Silicon Valley's giants before the Dotcom crash. "I am not claiming Nvidia is Enron," he wrote on his Substack. "It is clearly Cisco." Read the original article on Business Insider

Trump admin reportedly plans to use AI to write federal regulations

Trump admin reportedly plans to use AI to write federal regulations

The Trump administration is planning on using Google Gemini to draft important federal regulations, as reported by ProPublica. This is starting with the Department of Transportation, according to interviews with agency staffers. Regulations created by the DOT help keep us safe when traveling. The plan was initially presented to DOT staffers last month, with agency attorney Daniel Cohen writing to colleagues about AI's "potential to revolutionize the way we draft rulemakings." Gregory Zerzan, the agency's general counsel, has indicated that President Donald Trump is "very excited by this initiative" and that DOT will be "the first agency that is fully enabled to use AI to draft rules." This does suggest a pilot program of sorts, with eventual plans to bring AI to other departments. NEW: The Trump administration is planning to use AI to write federal regulations despite the risk of hallucinations. “We don't even need a very good rule,” @USDOT’s top lawyer said of the plan, per meeting notes reviewed by ProPublica. “We want good enough.” 🧵 pic.twitter.com/YKGvmlkMCt — Jesse Coburn (@Jesse_Coburn) January 26, 2026 Oddly, Zerzan doesn't seem that interested in high-quality regulations. ProPublica received transcripts of a meeting in which he declared that "we don't need the perfect rule on XYZ. We don't even need a very good rule on XYZ." He went on to say that "we want good enough" and that "we're flooding the zone." Let me remind you that DOT regulates the safety standards of commercial aircraft, along with rules involving the transport of hazardous materials and driver qualifications. The agency's rules touch on every aspect of transportation safety. Why would the federal government rely on a new technology that's notorious for making mistakes? AI “hallucinations” eg false/made-up info now becoming a problem in scientific publications. Kudos to @alexcdot et al on building an AI hallucination detector and finding that certain journals/authors have used LLMs to generate papers that also made it through peer review. Here’s… pic.twitter.com/i4Be1lS8xq — Daphne Zohar (@daphnezohar) January 22, 2026 The answer is speed. Writing and revising complex federal regulations can take months, but Google Gemini can spit something out in minutes. A DOT employee giving a presentation on the program suggested that many parts of these regulations are just "word salad" anyways, so AI should be able to do just fine. "It shouldn’t take you more than 20 minutes to get a draft rule out of Gemini," Zerzan said. The plan is to compress the timeline in which transportation regulations are written and reviewed. The department has already used AI to draft an unpublished Federal Aviation Administration rule. Federal agencies have used AI for years, but not to actually write regulations. It's primarily been used for the purpose of translating documents, analyzing data and categorizing public comments. Trump, however, is a huge proponent of the technology. He has released multiple executive orders in support of AI and once shared an AI-created video in which he flew a fighter jet and dropped what appears to be feces on American citizens. Skeptics say that large language models like Gemini shouldn't be in charge of drafting complicated and consequential regulations that impact millions of everyday Americans. Mistakes could lead to lawsuits and even injuries and deaths. Mike Horton, DOT’s former acting chief artificial intelligence officer, said using Gemini to draft regulations was like “having a high school intern that’s doing your rulemaking.” He also said that agency leaders under Trump "want to go fast and break things, but going fast and breaking things means people are going to get hurt." "Just because these tools can produce a lot of words doesn’t mean that those words add up to a high-quality government decision,” said Bridget Dooling, a professor at Ohio State University who studies administrative law. “It’s so tempting to try to figure out how to use these tools, and I think it would make sense to try. But I think it should be done with a lot of skepticism." DOT has experienced a net loss of more than 4,000 employees since Trump started his second term. This includes over 100 attorneys.
