Michigan judge says Trump can stay on primary ballot, rejecting challenge under insurrection clause

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:51:58 GMT

By COREY WILLIAMS and NICHOLAS RICCARDI (Associated Press)DETROIT (AP) — A Michigan judge ruled Tuesday that former President Donald Trump will remain on the state’s primary ballot, dealing a blow to the effort to stop Trump’s candidacy with a Civil War-era Constitutional clause.It marks the second time in a week that a state court declined to remove Trump from a primary ballot under the insurrection provision of the 14th Amendment.In Michigan, Court of Claims Judge James Redford rejected arguments that Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol meant the court had to declare him ineligible for the presidency. Redford wrote that, because Trump followed state law in qualifying for the primary ballot, he cannot remove the former president.Additionally, he said it should be up to Congress to decide whether Trump is disqualified under the section of the U.S. Constitution that bars from office a person who “engaged in insurrection.” R...

US extends sanctions waiver allowing Iraq to buy electricity from Iran

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:51:58 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has extended by four months a sanctions waiver that will allow Iraq to continue to purchase electricity from Iran and gives Iran limited access to the proceeds to buy humanitarian goods.Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed the 120-day waiver extension and it was transmitted to Congress on Tuesday, U.S. officials said. The move is likely to draw criticism from Iran hawks on Capitol Hill and elsewhere who believe the extension will reward Iran at a time when it is coming under increasing pressure to end its support for proxy groups, including Hamas, that are destabilizing the Middle East.There is roughly $10 billion in Iraqi payments for Iranian electricity currently being held in escrow accounts in Iraq, and the waiver will allow Baghdad to maintain its energy imports without fear of U.S. penalties for violating sanctions on Iran.It will also keep in place a provision — included in the last 120-day waiver — under which portions of the el...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:51:58 GMT

A tiny Jack Russell terrier survived in the Colorado mountains for more than 10 weeks after her owner died of hypothermia, despite losing half her body weight, a rescuer said.Richard Moore of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and his 12-pound dog Finney had set out to climb Blackhead Peak east of the town on Aug. 19, but never returned home, the Archuleta County Sheriff’s Office said. A days-long search of the treacherous and steep western side of the mountain between where Moore’s car was parked and the peak was unsuccessful, said Delinda VanneBrightyn with Taos Search and Rescue, whose search dog joined the effort. From the starting point, the hike to Blackhead Peak gains 2,150 feet (650 meters) in elevation.When a hunter came upon the 71-year-old’s body in the San Juan Mountains on Oct. 30, Finney was still there with him, despite being down to just 6 pounds, VanneBrightyn said Tuesday.A recovery crew was flown in the next day. Finney was taken to a veterinarian for a checkup...

Former Leaf urges hockey players to use cut-resistant gear

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:51:58 GMT

A former Toronto Maple Leafs player is speaking out about the need for cut-resistant gear for hockey players at all levels.Carlo Colaiacovo, who was drafted by the Leafs in 2002, said he felt compelled to share his opinion on the issue in light of the death of hockey player Adam Johnson who died after being cut by skate in the neck and an 11-year-old Uxbridge boy survived a serious cut to his leg during a game.It comes as an arrest on suspicious of manslaughter was made in the death of Johnson on Tuesday by South Yorkshire police, where the incident happened. The identity of the man arrested has not been released.Colaiacovo said while they’re often labelled “freak accidents,” these incidents are more common than you may think.“Lacerations are the number one source of ER visits in North America because of Ice Hockey,” Colaiacovo told CityNews.The Gibbs family experienced this last week when their 11-year-old son was taken to hospital after he was cut by a skate during a tournam...

Sarah Jama, the rookie Hamilton Centre MPP who was censured by the Ontario legislature last month after a controversial social media post about the Israel-Hamas war, says her lawyers are launching a judicial review into the move.The Ford government passed a motion to censure Jama on October 23rd in response to her posts, which some considered controversial.On Oct. 10, Jama posted a two-paragraph statement under Ontario NDP letterhead that made no mention of the surprise attack by Hamas, instead focusing on the decades-long struggle of Palestinians under Israeli occupation, which she referred to as “apartheid.”Her post included the hashtag “FreePalestine.”She later posted an apology online but did not retract the original statement and was later kicked out of the NDP caucus.On Tuesday, Jama reopened her Hamilton office and announced she was launching a fight against the censure, which essentially bans her from speaking in the legislature.“We are not of the mindset that the cens...

Oklahoma Supreme Court keeps anti-abortion laws on hold while challenge is pending

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:51:58 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Supreme Court reiterated its position on Tuesday in a 5-4 opinion that the state constitution guarantees a woman’s right to an abortion when necessary to preserve her life, although the procedure remains illegal in virtually all other cases.In a case involving a legal challenge to five separate anti-abortion bills passed by the Legislature in 2021, the court ordered a lower court to keep in place a temporary ban on three of those laws while the merits of the case are considered. Two of the laws were already put on hold by a district court judge.The three laws addressed by the court include: requiring physicians performing an abortion to be board certified in obstetrics and gynecology; requiring physicians administering abortion drugs to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital; and requiring an ultrasound 72 hours before administering abortion drugs.“We are grateful that the Oklahoma Supreme Court recognized how these laws are medically ...
