A group of Jackson, Mississippi, residents filed a class action lawsuit on Friday over the water crisis that left over 150,000 people in the city without access to clean running water. As a result of water crisis, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit allege they weren't able to "readily go about normal daily activities like using the bathroom, brushing [their] teeth, and cooking." Late last month, Lumumba told reporters the city had been dealing with the water crisis "for the better part of two years." Tate Reeves declared a state of emergency late August, saying the water crisis in Jackson threatened “critical needs” after rain and flooding pushed the Pearl River to dangerous levels, according to officials. A team from the Environmental Protection Agency’s inspector general’s office is conducting a top-to-bottom review of what caused Jackson's water crisis.

Decizia de a lansa această nouă procedură de destituire îi va reveni încă o dată influentei preşedinte a Camerei Reprezentanţilor, Nancy Pelosi. Trebuie să plece", a afirmat ea, mergând până la a discuta cu şeful Statului Major american pentru a se asigura că Donald Trump nu poate utiliza codurile nucleare. Retras la Casa Albă, Donald Trump le-ar fi spus apropiaţilor săi că nu intenţionează să demisioneze, a informat sâmbătă cotidianul New York Times.

☆ „Șamanul QAnon”, devenit imaginea asaltului de la Capitoliu, a fost arestat
▼ + stars: | 2021-01-09 | by ( ) www.jurnal.md time to read: +1 min

Angeli, numit și „șamanul QAnon”, pentru că este un suporter vechi al QAnon – o conspirație bizară care susține că Donald Trump duce o luptă secretă împotriva unei rețele de pedofili sataniști, a fost arestat sâmbătă, a anunțat Departamentul de Justiție al SUA. Cazul lui este instrumentat de biroul FBI din Washington și de Poliția Capitoliului. Trei capete de acuzare au fost formulate pe numele lui Jake Angeli: pătrundere prin efracție, cu bună știință, într-o clădire cu acces restricționat; manifestare violentă; comportament neadecvat în sediul Capitoliului. Angeli, pe numele real Jacob Anthony Chansley, cel mai vizibil personaj al evenimentelor de miercuri și imaginea asaltului, după ce fotografiile cu el s-au viralizat pe internet, este unul dintre suporterii lui Trump care s-au confruntat cu poliția la Capitoliu. Violențele s-au soldat cu cinci morți: o femeie a fost împușcată, alte trei persoane au murit din cauza unor „urgențe medicale”, iar vineri, un polițist a decedat în urma rănilor suferite în timpul confruntărilor cu protestatarii, scrie libertatea.ro.
