Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for our free weekly newsletter to get the latest.Tensions between state election officials and the Trump administration are rising as we head into the heart of the midterm election season. Frustrations boiled over on Monday during a rare election security call hosted by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency for state officials. During the call, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes unloaded on the agency. CISA used to be a go-to shop for many states looking for help ensuring that their elections weren’t hacked, targeted, or undermined by cyberattacks or foreign interference. CISA provided states with classified security briefings on threats, helped ensure that state voting equipment wasn’t vulnerable to cyberattacks, and worked with election leaders to game out potential risks.All that changed when Donald Trump returned to the White House last year. The second Trump administration scaled back its support for states, cut back CISA staff, and launched an investigation of its former leader, whom Trump accused of disloyalty because he pushed back on the president’s false claims that the 2020 election was rigged. CISA has not had a permanent director since the start of Trump’s second term.Changes at CISA have paired with the president’s broad focus on controlling how elections are run. The federal government is threatening to arrest election officials if they allow noncitizens to vote. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has vowed to withhold federal funds from states that don’t implement Trump administration election overhaul proposals. A coalition of Democratic states and officials has sued the Department of Homeland Security in a suit that accuses the Trump administration of withholding Federal Emergency Management Agency funding in an attempt to coerce states into enacting disputed election changes.With all that as backdrop, CISA organized this week’s call – and things didn’t go too well.After more than a year of near silence, elections officials wondered if CISA would step up to offer classified intelligence briefings on emerging cyber threats from hostile countries, specialized testing of election equipment, or training on how to prepare for potential problems on Election Day. Instead, CISA leaders provided what one participant characterized as a generic “CYA” (cover your a**) briefing that offered state officials few assurances that the federal government would help thwart threats this November.Participants said acting CISA Director Nick Andersen and Jim Harrell, the assistant director for integrated operations, offered no concrete support for the 2026 election, which is less than 90 days away. Instead, the participants said, CISA leadership seemed more focused on the 2028 presidential election. When they were done, according to participants, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, lashed out at the CISA officials. Fontes blasted the Trump administration for threatening state election officials and made it clear he had no confidence in their leadership, they said.“Fontes got testy with them,” said one participant on the call who asked not to be identified. “‘I don’t trust you,’ [Fontes told the CISA officials.] ‘Your boss came out there and said: We are going to criminalize the work you do. Why should we trust you?’”When asked about the call, Fontes confirmed that he’d made those comments and expanded on his frustrations“They don’t work with us, they work against us,” Fontes told Votebeat. “Why should I trust them?”Fontes said it was difficult for state and local elections officials to have confidence they would get support from the federal government when the administration treats them like an adversary rather than a partner. He and others on the call said CISA leaders offered few assurances they would provide much support in the coming weeks.“They just wholly and completely abandoned their duties and threatened prosecution,” Fontes said. “If they want to apologize for threatening us and ruining perfectly good systems, that’s a good start.”CISA did not respond to requests for comment on the call.Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, also a Democrat, echoed Fontes’s frustrations.“It’s unhelpful to have political leaders, including the secretary of Homeland Security, hinting at imprisoning election administrators who don’t do what they want,” Simon told Votebeat. “That’s just not helpful.”Simon said Minnesota and other states have spent months working to fill the gaps left by the drop-off in CISA support.“It’s pretty clear states are almost entirely on their own this election cycle and cannot rely on the federal government for election assistance,” said Simon.Not everyone on the call came away with a sour taste in their mouth, though. Some participants described it as a tentative move that could help repair the strained relationship between state and federal leaders working on elections.Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, also a Democrat, described the call as a “positive step” in rebuilding relations between CISA and state election officials.“While this engagement is encouraging, CISA and our other federal partners must focus on continuing to rebuild trust with election officials,” Hobbs said. “Over the last two years, we have watched this administration systematically dismantle many of the election security resources in place at the federal level.”With the November election fast approaching, he said, “election officials need sustained commitment to supporting local elections, not renewed attention only as major elections approach. Meaningful support will do more to rebuild relationships than words alone.”

Pontegadea Inversiones, propietario del 50,01% de Inditex, ha elevado un 10,3% su beneficio en 2025, hasta alcanzar los 2.518 millones de eurosAmancio Ortega se convierte en el mayor magnate inmobiliario del mundo Pontegadea, el 'holding' empresarial del fundador de Inditex Amancio Ortega, formado por las sociedades Pontegadea Inversiones, Partler 2006 y Pontegadea GB 2020, ganó 10.055 millones de euros en 2025, lo que supone un 7,8% más que en el ejercicio precedente. En concreto, los activos del conglomerado empresarial alcanzaron los 117.083 millones de euros de valoración, lo que supone un incremento del 5,8% respecto a los 110.615 millones de euros de 2024, según las cuentas depositadas por la compañía en el Registro Mercantil consultadas por Europa Press a través de Informa D&B. El conglomerado de empresas registró una facturación de 44.638 millones de euros, un 3,5% más, mientras que el patrimonio neto ascendió a los 95.651 millones de euros, por encima de los 90.546 millones de euros de 2024. De esta forma, Pontegadea Inversiones, propietario del 50,01% de Inditex, ha elevado un 10,3% su beneficio en 2025, hasta alcanzar los 2.518 millones de euros, mientras que la cifra de negocios se situó en los 2.667 millones de euros. El fundador de Inditex, que controla el 59,294% de la compañía textil, equivalente a un paquete de 1.848 millones de acciones, invierte parte de los dividendos que recibe de Inditex en el sector inmobiliario. De esta forma, Ortega ingresará este año 3.234 millones de euros en concepto de dividendos de la compañía, por encima de los 3.104 millones de euros que percibió por este concepto el año pasado. El fundador de Inditex posee la mayor inmobiliaria española, centrada en la compra y gestión de grandes edificios, con una cartera de activos inmobiliarios integrada fundamentalmente por edificios de oficinas, no residenciales, situados en el centro de grandes ciudades en España, Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y Asia. Venta en Portugal Por otro lado y entre las últimas operaciones de Pontegadea, a finales de la semana pasada acordó la venta de su participación del 13,7% al Estado portugués en el operador de la red eléctrica Redes Energéticas Nacionais (REN). En concreto, esta operación se realizará con la transferencia de 91,7 millones de acciones a la sociedad estatal Parpública, según ha informado el operador de red eléctrica luso a la Comisión del Mercado de Valores Mobiliarios (CMVM). Además, el vehículo inversor de Amancio Ortega desembarcó en Australia de la mano del consorcio liderado por el fondo Macquarie tras completar el pasado viernes la adquisición del 'holding' logístico australiano Qube, en una operación valorada en 11.700 millones de dólares australianos (7.165,94 millones de euros).
