Liberal groups seek to use the Constitution’s insurrection clause to block Trump from 2024 ballots

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:05 GMT

As former President Donald Trump dominates the Republican presidential primary, some liberal groups and legal experts contend that a rarely used clause of the Constitution prevents him from being president after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.The 14th Amendment bars from office anyone who once took an oath to uphold the Constitution but then “engaged” in “insurrection or rebellion” against it. A growing number of legal scholars say the post-Civil War clause applies to Trump after his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election and encouraging his backers to storm the U.S. Capitol.Two liberal nonprofits pledge court challenges should states’ election officers place Trump on the ballot despite those objections. The effort is likely to trigger a chain of lawsuits and appeals across several states that ultimately would lead to the U.S. Supreme Court, possibly in the midst of the 2024 primary season. The matter adds even more potential legal chaos to a n...

Everton already destined for another tough season after lackluster start to EPL

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:05 GMT

Never again, they said.Never again could Everton, a permanent fixture in England’s top soccer league since the 1950s, be dragged into the kind of end-of-season relegation scrap this storied club has found itself in far too many times for comfort over the last few years.That was the widespread feeling inside Goodison Park on May 28 as Everton produced another last-day escape act — its third in less than three decades — to preserve its place in the Premier League and avoid slipping into the Championship and potentially financial ruin.“We need to realize the mistakes we made this season,” Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure said at the time.Well, guess what? It looks to be happening again.Three games in and Everton has no points and no goals. That hasn’t happened before in the club’s 145-year history. The start of the season almost went from very bad to worse on Wednesday when Sean Dyche’s team entered the final 20 minutes of its English League Cup match again...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:05 GMT

(CNN) — Cuando una entusiasta de las antigüedades compró una pintura que parecía llevar la firma de NC Wyeth en una tienda de segunda mano en 2017, bromeó diciendo que el artículo que adquirió por solo US$ 4 podría ser en realidad una obra real del prolífico artista y patriarca de la familia de pintores Wyeth de Maine. Su broma no fue motivo de risa, y ahora se estima que la pintura se venderá por hasta US$ 250.000 en una subasta en septiembre.Según especialistas de la casa de subastas Bonhams Skinner, el vendedor, sin saberlo, compró la obra en una tienda de segunda mano Savers en Manchester, Nueva Hampshire, mientras buscaba marcos para reutilizar. Según la casa de subastas, la pintura de Wyeth había sido escondida contra una pared junto con carteles y grabados en su mayoría dañados.La mujer se llevó la pieza a casa pero no pudo encontrar ninguna información sobre la obra con una búsqueda rápida en Internet. Después de colgar el cuadro en su dormitorio durante varios años, f...

A building fire in Johannesburg leaves at least 73 dead, many of them homeless, authorities say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:05 GMT

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A nighttime fire ripped through a rundown five-story building in Johannesburg that was occupied by homeless people and squatters, leaving at least 73 people dead early Thursday, emergency services in South Africa’s biggest city said.Some of the people living in a maze of shacks and other makeshift structures inside the derelict building threw themselves out of windows to escape the fire and might have died then, a local government official said.A witness said he saw people throwing babies out of the burning building in an attempt to save them and that at least one man died when he jumped from a window on the third floor and hit the concrete sidewalk “head first.”As many as 200 people may have been living in the building, witnesses said, including in the basement, which should have been used as a parking garage. Others estimated an even higher number of occupants.Seven of the victims were children, the youngest a 1-year-old, according to an emergency service...
