Both sides appeal ruling that Trump can stay on Colorado ballot despite insurrection finding

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:10:28 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Both a liberal group that sought to disqualify Donald Trump and the former president himself on Monday night appealed a judge's ruling that Trump “engaged in insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, but can stay on the state's primary ballot.The appeals were filed with the Colorado Supreme Court. The ruling by Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace on Friday — which said Trump is not covered by the constitution’s ban on insurrectionists holding office — was the latest in a series of defeats for the effort to end Trump's candidacy with Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.The constitutional provision has only been used a handful of times since the years after the Civil War. It was created to prevent former Confederates from returning to government positions. Judge rules Trump can appear on Colorado 2024 Republican primary ballot The group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filing on behalf of a group of Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters, argued that...

DENVER (KDVR) — Deion Sanders' first season as head coach at the University of Colorado Boulder comes to a close this Saturday. After a historic start to the year when Sanders debuted his Buffaloes in Fort Worth and took home an upset win against TCU, the Buffs have faltered a bit and landed last in the Pac-12 standings. The Buffs lost their fifth game in a row last Friday against Washington State. The Cougars claimed victory over the Buffs with a final score of 56-14 and took away the team's hopes of a bowl game this year. Photos: Bigger, upgraded video board coming to CU’s Folsom Field Despite a massive improvement upon last year’s win total, Sanders said the program measures itself against its own expectations.“We’re falling short of what we’re capable of, that’s the part of this that’s tough to digest. We’ve got high expectations here, so this is tremendously disappointing,” said Sanders.The Buffaloes’ postseason hopes were dashed in their largest loss of the “Coach Prime” er...

EU gives France an ‘F’ grade on spending plans

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:10:28 GMT

BRUSSELS / PARIS ― The French government has been told by the European Commission it urgently needs to adjust next year’s spending plans to fall into line with the EU’s debt and deficit rules when they return after a four-year suspension. Paris is among four governments handed warnings over their budget plans by the bloc’s executive in its role policing member countries’ public expenditure. The rules, aimed at preventing instability in financial markets and the build-up of public debt, will retake effect on January 1 after they were shelved to allow greater investment during and after the COVID pandemic. “France’s draft budgetary plan risks not being in line” with the bloc’s rules, Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis told reporters in Strasbourg, pointing to rising public expenditure and insufficient cuts to energy support.Belgium, Finland, and Croatia fall into the same category, the Commission said in its statement on Wednesday.

EU countries rally to exempt banks from new green and human rights rules

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:10:28 GMT

BRUSSELS — A new push from member countries to exempt financial institutions from proposed EU rules on the oversight of business supply chains risks further complicating already thorny negotiations. The proposed rules, now being negotiated by EU institutions, are meant to compel EU-based companies to police their global value chains for environmental or human rights risks.Ahead of a fourth — and potentially penultimate — round of negotiations on Wednesday, EU ambassadors have swung behind a long-standing call by France to exempt the entire financial sector. Paris wants to shield its finance houses from the compliance burden such rules would entail as they seek to win new business following the exit of Britain, and its outsized financial sector, from the EU.A majority voted last week in favor of a proposal from the Spanish presidency of the Council of the EU to “exclude the financial sector from the scope” of the rules and to “delay its extension to this sector to a later ...

Belichick refuses to shed light on starting QB decision for Patriots

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:10:28 GMT

Patriots coach Bill Belichick declined to reveal his starting quarterback when talking to reporters Tuesday morning, repeating only that all of his players should be prepared when New England comes out of its off week to face the New York Giants on Sunday.“I’ve told all the players the same thing: Be ready to go,” Belichick said. “Hopefully, they will be.”Pressed on the question more than a dozen times in the eight minute availability, Belichick repeated a version of the same answer. Asked if he had made a decision, he said, “We’ll let you know on Sunday.”2021 first-round draft choice Mac Jones has started every game this season, but he hasn’t been able to finish three of them — twice in blowouts when Belichick said there was no point in sending him out there, and again in Week 10, a 10-6 loss to Indianapolis. With a chance to rally the Patriots, Bailey Zappe was 3 of 7 for 25 yards and finished by throwing an interception on a fake-spike play to seal the game.Zappe, a fourth-round ...

Israeli Cabinet to consider possible deal for release of some hostages held by Hamas

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:10:28 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s Cabinet was to convene Tuesday to consider a possible deal for the release of some of the hostages held by Hamas, as troops battled Palestinian militants in an urban refugee camp in northern Gaza and around hospitals overcrowded with patients and sheltering families.Details of any deal, worked out through international mediators, were not immediately known. Talks over the past weeks have centered on a swap of some of the estimated 240 people taken hostage by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack into Israel for Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, accompanied by a temporary cease-fire in Gaza.Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada and the European Union.Senior Hamas officials said an agreement was near. But talks have repeatedly stalled and past predictions of a breakthrough proved premature. Israel announced that its War Cabinet, and then the full Cabinet – whose approval is needed on any deal – would convene Tuesday eveni...
