By JAMES MARTINEZ (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — Aryna Sabalenka moved into the U.S. Open semifinals on Wednesday, looking every bit like a player who soon will be ranked No. 1 while rolling to a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Zheng Qinwen in just over an hour.Sabalenka, who will take over the top spot in next week’s WTA rankings because of the fourth-round loss of current No. 1 and defending champion Iga Swiatek, still has not dropped a set at Flushing Meadows — and has ceded a total of 21 games through five matches. Sabalenka cruised through her quarterfinal in heat that approached 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius), prompting a partial closing of the Arthur Ashe Stadium roof to provide more shade for spectators and players.

Opinion: Trump “engaged in insurrection or rebellion,” let us prove it in a Colorado court

Published Fri, 14 Mar 2025 01:27:19 GMT

When Coloradans cast their votes for president in 2024, our ballots should include only constitutionally qualified candidates. Donald Trump disqualified himself under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment by engaging in an insurrection against the constitutional transfer of power after the 2020 election.That is why we are representing six Colorado voters – four Republicans and two unaffiliated – who are suing Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold to refrain from taking any action that would place Trump on any Colorado ballot. As our state’s chief elections official, Secretary Griswold has a duty to ensure that the Constitution is upheld and ineligible candidates like Trump do not undermine our electoral process.Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, also known as the Disqualification Clause, bars any person from holding office after they took an “oath…to support the Constitution of the United States” and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or gave “aid or com...

By BECKY BOHRER (Associated Press)JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The U.S. Interior Department on Wednesday canceled seven oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that were part of a sale held in the waning days of the Trump administration, arguing the sale was legally flawed.Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said with her decision to cancel the remaining leases “no one will have rights to drill for oil in one of the most sensitive landscapes on earth.” However, a 2017 law mandates another lease sale by late 2024. Administration officials said they intend to comply with the law.Two other leases that were issued as part of the first-of-its-kind sale for the refuge in January 2021 were previously given up by the small companies that held them amid legal wrangling and uncertainty over the drilling program.Alaska political leaders have long pushed to allow oil and gas drilling on the refuge’s 1.5 million acre coastal plain, an area seen as sacred ...

Autofuel, a leading innovator in automated robotic refueling systems, is working to address the needs of people with physical disabilities when refueling their vehicles.For people with physical disabilities, topping up their car’s tank can be a daunting task.
