Maine bars Trump from ballot as US Supreme Court weighs state authority to block former president

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:00 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally as the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether Trump remains eligible to continue his campaign.The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a ruling earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether Trump is barred by the Civil War-era provision, which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows' decision to Maine's state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case. In the end, it is likely that the nation's highest court will have the final sa...

DU professor weighs in on plastic bag, Styrofoam ban The 2024 increase was 5.8%, less than the 2023 increase of 8.94%."Colorado had the highest restaurant inflation out of any state in the union last year," said Colin Larson, director of government affairs for the Colorado Restaurant Association.Larson said the minimum wage increase is going to impact people working in the dining and bar industry and those going out to eat and drink. "We are seeing places experiment with different models of service charges, like the back of the house fee or happy employee fee," Larson said.Tipped employees, according to Larson, also will see the dollar increase.

Maine bars Trump from ballot as U.S. Supreme Court weighs state authority to block former president from elections

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:00 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally in a decision that has potential Electoral College consequences.While Maine has just four electoral votes, it’s one of two states to split them. Trump won one of Maine’s electors in 2020, so having him off the ballot there should he emerge as the Republican general election candidate could have outsized implications in a race that is expected to be narrowly decided.The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a December ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Colorado is a Democratic-leaning state that is not expected to be competitive for Republicans in November.Bellows found that Trump could no longer run for his prior job because ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:00 GMT

Boston City Council ‘not serious about public safety’: outgoing president Flynn says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:00 GMT

Outgoing City Council President Ed Flynn said the vote to block $13.3 million in federal counter-terrorism funding for the metro region showed the council was “not serious about public safety,” an attitude he hopes will shift with four new members.Flynn, who had been pushing last week for an emergency meeting to reconsider the funding should the mayor fail to refile the federal grant by the end of the year, has since backed off of that last-ditch effort in 2023.“I wasn’t able to mobilize my colleagues together to assemble for a meeting,” Flynn told the Herald. “There wasn’t any support for it. So, I’m committed to working with the mayor in January to get this passed.”Flynn, whose two-year term as the body’s president ends this month, is now seeking a new vote on the matter by the end of January, after four new councilors are sworn into office. Mayor Michelle Wu, through a spokesperson, has already stated her intention to refile the grant in the new year, after the council turns over...

Celtics’ Jaylen Brown misses game vs. Pistons, but injury not expected to be long term

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:00 GMT

Jaylen Brown missed Thursday’s game against the Pistons due to a low back contusion, but the Celtics star is not expected to miss extended time because of the injury.“He just woke up sore today,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said. “So I don’t envision it being long term.”Brown sustained the injury in Monday’s Christmas Day win over the Lakers when he collided with LeBron James. The Lakers star accidentally tripped up Brown and kneed him in his lower back, causing both to fall and stay on the floor for several moments. Brown went straight to the locker room but returned to finish the game.It’s unclear if Brown – who missed just his second game of the season – will miss Friday’s second leg of the back-to-back against the Raptors.Without Brown, the Celtics started Al Horford alongside Kristaps Porzingis as Mazzulla continues to experiment with double-big lineups. Though the league has shifted to faster, smaller, shooting-focused lineups, the C’s believe they have a strength with their fr...

Hot Property: A flawless estate in Brookline

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:00 GMT

While remaining close to everything Brookline and, by extension, all the “city” amenities you’d want in Boston, Brookline’s 82 Sargent Road occupies a world of its own. Close to one acre of perfectly secluded, tree-wrapped grounds surround the 1994 brick estate — an impressive sanctuary to enjoy as a family and share with loved ones on a grand scale.Dazzle guests with the two-story marble foyer and elegant staircase before ushering them to the formal living or dining rooms, both featuring elegant millwork and light pouring in from banks of oversized windows. For laid-back or cozy indoor days, the great room just off the kitchen offers whitewashed brick walls, a coffered ceiling, and fireplace.The kitchen and breakfast room flow easily into the rest of the home but offer a distinct space that many buyers prefer over an open concept layout. Lots of custom storage, a workspace, and an eat-in island, plus thoughtfully planned appliance placement make for a hard-working cooking and snack...

‘I can still play ball’: Closing in on 40, Chicago Bears tight end Marcedes Lewis is making his presence felt

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:00 GMT

The 40th touchdown catch of Marcedes Lewis’ career was fairly easy. No, it didn’t unfold exactly as designed Sunday with the veteran tight end unable to disengage from linebacker Jesse Luketa the way he wanted. But after Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields faked an inside handoff to Roschon Johnson and an end-around give to Darnell Mooney, a game of playground football broke out.Fields’ preferred read — DJ Moore on a shake route to the left — was taken away. And Lewis was unable to release cleanly into his corner route. But Fields and Lewis both used their eyes and instincts to improvise. The quarterback bought time on the move to his right and his tight end found a patch of empty space.As Luketa peeled off and charged Fields to take away a possible scramble, Lewis sat down behind the “O” in Soldier Field’s north end zone.“All I did was just play football,” Lewis said. “I went where (Luketa) wasn’t.”Fi...
