Trump appeals Maine ruling barring him from ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:45:25 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday appealed a ruling by Maine’s Democratic secretary of state barring him from the ballot over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was expected to also ask the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on his eligibility to return to the presidency in a related Colorado case.The Republican candidate appealed the Maine decision by Shenna Bellows, who became the first secretary of state in history to bar someone from running for the presidency under the rarely used Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That provision prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.Trump’s appeal to the Maine Supreme Court declares that Bellows had no jurisdiction in the matter and asks that she be required to place Trump on the March 5 primary ballot. The appeal argues that she abused her discretion and relied on “untrustworthy evidence.”“The secretary should have recused herself due to her bias against President Trump...

Quiet Week, Weekend Storm

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:45:25 GMT

The forecast remains cold and quiet for the rest of the week. We keep our clear skies overnight and that will allow temperatures to fall off once again. We might salvage a few degrees on top of this morning’s lows, but we’ll still fall to near 20° by sunrise tomorrow.Tomorrow is similar to today with a few extra clouds in the mix. We continue to increase the clouds on Thursday and with that a widely isolated rain or snow shower possible.The storm moving through from the Great Lakes, responsible for the few showers will eventually be the big player in our weekend storm potential. It’s less about the “L” itself and more about that cold front coming along with it. That cold front will open the door for cold air to move in and set up shop Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Of course with our next system running into that cold air… snow lovers rejoice, it looks like our first real snow of the season!I say this regarding our next storm with the disclaimer th...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:45:25 GMT

Massachusetts senators meet Thursday in the first formal session of the year where they are expected to take up three bills dealing with wheelchair warranty protections, interactions between police and persons with autism, and fentanyl test strips.In a brief meeting Tuesday morning to close out the first half of the two-year 2023-2024 legislative session, Senate lawmakers teed up the trio of bills for debate later this week.The Thursday session represents the first major actions of the year in a chamber where its top leader identified prescription drug reform and early education care as 2024 priorities.Legislation from Sen.
