      Super Tuesday live: Donald Trump likely to win primaries as 16 US states vote

    Former president looks all but certain of Republican presidential nomination as Nikki Haley faces last chance to make an impact on the race

    Donald Trump has continued his domination of the race to be the Republican nominee for president with an expected victory in Monday’s North Dakota Republican caucuses.

    As his campaign headed into Super Tuesday the former president will most likely stretch his lead over Nikki Haley by all 29 of North Dakota’s delegates. If he wins at least 60% of the vote he gets all of the delegates. If his vote is less than 60%, then the delegates will be split proportional to the respective votes for Trump and Haley.

    I think we’re going to send a message that is going to be a kick-off to tomorrow, which is president Donald Trump is going to close this out, this is going to be the end of the trail, and we’re going to say we have a nominee, and let’s go after it, and beat Joe Biden in the fall.

    Yesterday North Dakota held its Republican presidential caucuses and Donald Trump is expected to win convincingly according to the AP. However, turnout was low.

    Joe Biden has announced a “strike force” to crack down on “unfair and illegal” prices. The new panel will target businesses “when they try to rip off Americans”, the Biden administration said .

    The US supreme court ruled on Monday that Donald Trump was wrongly removed from Colorado’s primary ballot last year .

    People incarcerated in state-run facilities in Texas and Florida are the most exposed to dangerous heat conditions being exacerbated by the climate crisis.

      ‘I was sentenced to die’: the innocent man who spent 48 years in prison for murder

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Wednesday, 28 February - 10:00

    Glynn Simmons was released last year after almost half a century behind bars. Now 70, he describes his torment and terror as he fought to overturn one of the worst miscarriages of justice in US history

    Glynn Simmons had been in Oklahoma for six days when he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He was 22, he didn’t have a criminal record and the police had no obvious reason to pick him up that day in 1975.

    The robbery victim didn’t recognise him; Simmons was told he was free to leave. Just as he was about to be released, however, the police told him that they were short of men for a lineup and asked him to take part. Simmons didn’t know that it was within his rights to refuse. His mother had taught him the importance of respecting officialdom. So, dutifully, he took part. It cost him dearly.

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Saturday, 24 February - 15:00

    Indigenous artists in the Killers of the Flower Moon actor’s network tell us about the future they’re creating

    Lily Gladstone made history this year as the first Native American nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, for her starring role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. A win for her this year would be especially resonant, as a rising generation of Native writers, actors and showrunners continues to transform the kinds of stories Hollywood tells about Indigenous people.

    As Gladstone makes headlines with her series of “firsts”, she’s worked hard to spotlight Native designers and emphasize her pride in her Blackfeet history and language , reminding audiences at every turn that “first” is very different from “only”.

      ‘Inhumane’: judge hears arguments about anti-migrant buoys in Rio Grande

    Court to decide whether to remove them as Greg Abbott and other Republican governors defend militarization of border with Mexico

    A federal judge heard arguments on Tuesday about whether state authorities should remove huge buoys installed to stop migrants crossing the river that divides Texas from Mexico.

    The court hearing in Austin came a day after Texas’s governor, Greg Abbott, and a group of hardline Republican governors gathered on the riverbank to defend local militarization of the US-Mexico border – while also acknowledging that the 1,000ft (305-meter) floating barrier had been adjusted after complaints that it had mostly drifted into Mexican territory.

      Tuerie dans un hôpital de Tulsa: le tireur visait son médecin

      news.movim.eu / HuffingtonPost · Thursday, 2 June, 2022 - 18:12 · 2 minutes

    Michael Louis, un homme qui s'était fait opéré dans cet hôpital de Tulsa, aux États-Unis, estimait que le médecin était responsable de ses douleurs et l'a tué ainsi que trois autres personnes le 1er juin 2022. Michael Louis, un homme qui s'était fait opéré dans cet hôpital de Tulsa, aux États-Unis, estimait que le médecin était responsable de ses douleurs et l'a tué ainsi que trois autres personnes le 1er juin 2022.

    ÉTATS-UNIS - Les circonstances du drame qui s’est déroulé à Tulsa mercredi s’éclaircissent. L’homme qui a tué quatre personnes dans un hôpital de cette ville de l’ Oklahoma visait le médecin qui l’avait opéré du dos. Il le jugeait responsable de ses douleurs, a annoncé la police ce jeudi 2 juin.

    Michael Louis était entré dans l’hôpital Saint Francis avec une arme de poing et un fusil semi-automatique, dernière tuerie en date dans un pays encore marqué par le massacre dans une école primaire d’Uvalde . Selon le collectif Gun Violence Archive, le drame de Tulsa est la 233e fusillade de masse dans le pays.

    En plus de son docteur, le tireur a tué un autre médecin, une réceptionniste, un patient et en a blessé d’autres avant de se suicider, ont précisé les forces de l’ordre lors d’une conférence de presse.

    Un fusil AR-15 encore mis en cause

    Michael Louis avait été opéré du dos par le Dr Preston Phillips le 19 mai. Après sa sortie de l’hôpital, le 24, le patient avait “appelé à plusieurs reprises en se plaignant de douleurs, et voulait recevoir des traitements supplémentaires”, a déclaré Wendell Franklin, chef de la police de Tulsa.

    Michael Louis jugeait son médecin responsable de ses douleurs, et les agents ont trouvé sur lui une lettre “qui indique clairement qu’il est venu avec l’intention de tuer le Dr Phillips et toute personne se trouvant sur son chemin”, a ajouté M. Franklin.

    Mercredi après-midi, avant de se rendre à l’hôpital, le suspect avait acheté un fusil semi-automatique “de type AR-15”, a-t-il poursuivi. Cette arme, aussi puissante que controversée, avait été utilisée à l’école primaire Robb d’Uvalde, où 19 enfants et deux enseignantes ont péri sous les balles d’un adolescent le 24 mai.

    “Un fusil d’assaut est une arme de guerre”

    La vice-présidente Kamala Harris avait appelé samedi à bannir les fusils d’assaut, souvent utilisés dans les massacres qui ponctuent régulièrement l’actualité américaine.

    Ces armes “ont été conçues avec un but spécifique: tuer beaucoup de personnes en peu de temps. Un fusil d’assaut est une arme de guerre qui n’a aucune place dans la société civile”, avait-elle asséné.

    Les récentes fusillades ont relancé le débat autour des armes à feu, le président Joe Biden promettant d’agir. Au Congrès, les élus négocient pour trouver un compromis, avec un mince espoir de réussite tant les divisions sont profondes.
