Biden places flowers outside bar where a gunman opened fire in Maine as he mourns with community

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:19 GMT

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden added a bouquet of white flowers Friday to a makeshift memorial outside Schemengees Bar and Grille, one of the scenes of the state’s deadliest mass shooting.They stood for a moment of silence before bending over to hug bar owner Kathy Lebel. Eight people died there in the Oct. 25 massacre, along with seven at the nearby Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley. Three others died at hospitals.Biden came to Lewiston to do what presidents do in these moments of horror and grief; lend comfort to the families of the victims and to show support for a reeling community. But it’s a type of trip that has become all too familiar, despite a bipartisan gun safety law passed last year after another mass shooting, and despite a series of executive orders by the president meant to stop gun violence.—WATCH: President Biden and others deliver remarks in Lewiston, Maine as community continues to heal from ma...

Supreme Court to consider challenge to federal bump stock ban

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:19 GMT

(CNN) — The Supreme Court agreed to take up a challenge to the federal ban on bump stocks, devices that essentially allow shooters to fire semiautomatic rifles more rapidly, discharging potentially hundreds of bullets per minute.Federal appeals courts have split on the legality of the ban.The decision to hear the case comes as the country is still reeling from the latest mass shooting and just days before the justices are poised to revisit a landmark Second Amendment opinion from 2022 that expanded gun rights nationwide.Under then-President Donald Trump, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives banned bump stock devices in 2019 and ordered people who possessed the devices to destroy them or turn them into an ATF office. Trump had ordered a review of the devices after a mass shooting in 2017 in Las Vegas, in which a shooter armed with semiautomatic weapons and bump stock devices opened fire from his hotel suite onto outdoor concertgoers, killing 58 people and woun...

Israel and Hamas war crimes killed dozens of journalists, press freedom group says

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:19 GMT

Dozens of journalists are the victims of war crimes committed by the Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas, according to a complaint filed with the International Criminal Court by a media freedom group.Since the war sparked by an incursion of Hamas backed terrorists into Israel began in early October, 34 journalists have died, according to the group Reporters Sans Frontières, or Reporters Without Borders. Their deaths violate ICC rules on indiscriminate attacks and targeting of people protected under the Geneva Conventions, the group told the Hague prosecutor’s office.“The scale, seriousness and recurring nature of international crimes targeting journalists, particularly in Gaza, calls for a priority investigation by the ICC prosecutor. We have been calling for this since 2018. The current tragic events demonstrate the extreme urgency of the need for ICC action,” RSF Secretary-General Christophe Deloire said along with the announcement of the war crimes complaint.The complaint outlines t...

Lucas: These nobodies are somebodies

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:19 GMT

Don’t get your nobodies mixed up.They are Rep. Mike Johnson and Rep. Dean Phillips.Johnson, 51, is the right-wing, Christian traditionalist Republican from Louisianna who was just elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.Phillips, 54, is the liberal Jewish Democrat from Minnesota who just announced that he is running for president against Joe Biden.Just two weeks ago nobody knew who they were. Maybe people still don’t.But now both formerly unknowns are in positions to make national news and affect national policy — Johnson by promoting a halt on federal spending and other conservative policies, and Phillips by embarrassing Joe Biden in the New Hampshire presidential primary and perhaps elsewhere.Johnson, a four-term member of the House, was elected Speaker last week, a job he never sought or hoped to get, after 22 days of wrangling among House Republicans following the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California.Phillips, in his third term in the House, launched...

Could anyone wear his fame more comfortably than Henry Winkler?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:19 GMT

Christopher Borrelli | Chicago TribuneCHICAGO — Henry Winkler’s smile is the smile of an old friend seeing you for the first time in years, or a smile of sincere affection for an unexpected new friend, or a smile that nudges into a laugh. It’s a smile so warm and real that you hate yourself for wondering how any human can generate such feeling, a dozen times a day, for 50 years of public life.And yet, there was that smile again, at 8 in the morning, in suburban Rosemont.You see it in a hotel Starbucks, where Winkler commands a small crowd despite the hour; they stare in awe of him, as if a 12-point buck just wandered in. You see it over breakfast in a hotel restaurant, which, for Winkler, means a sip of coffee, a taste of food, then a stranger approaching cautiously to ask for a picture, telling him he was their entire childhood, again and again. You see it waiting for a table at the hostess counter.A long slender man in jogging clothes turned offhandedly and noticed Winkler and tur...
