Trump celebrates win in Colorado election case during return visit to Iowa

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:08:37 GMT

FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump celebrated a win in a closely watched election case during a return visit to Iowa Saturday, where he blasted his political foes and encouraged his supporters to not move past their grievances with President Joe Biden.A Colorado judge Friday rejected an effort to keep the GOP front-runner off the state’s primary ballot, concluding that Trump had engaged in insurrection during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol but that it was unclear whether a Civil War-era constitutional amendment barring insurrectionists from public office applied to the presidency. It was Trump’s latest win following rulings in similar cases in Minnesota and Michigan.Trump, campaigning in west-central Iowa, called the decision “a gigantic court victory” as he panned what he called “an outrageous attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters by getting us thrown off the ballot.”“Our opponents are showing every day that they hate democr...

Investigators found fire and safety hazards on land under I-10 in Los Angeles before arson fire

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:08:37 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — State investigators repeatedly identified fire and safety hazards at a leased storage space under an elevated Los Angeles freeway before it burned in an arson fire last weekend, documents show.The blaze — fed by flammable materials stored under the roadway in violation of the company’s lease — closed a stretch of Interstate 10 near downtown for days, snarling traffic as repair crews work around the clock to fix it. Officials say all lanes are expected to reopen by Tuesday, far ahead of the initial three-to-five week schedule to shore up the mile-long stretch of roughly 100 support columns.The documents were released by the California Department of Transportation, known as Caltrans, on Friday, a day before investigators said they identified a “person of interest” and released two photos in a “crime alert notification” posted to social media. Authorities said Saturday that they are seeking the public’s help to identify the person. While investigators have not ...

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, CSU Rams creep closer to bowl eligibility with 30-20 win over Nevada

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:08:37 GMT

FORT COLLINS — Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi wasn’t just getting outplayed by Brendon Lewis. He somehow found himself getting outgunned.“I don’t lose confidence,” CSU’s redshirt freshman quarterback said of a rocky middle two quarters of a 30-20 win over Nevada on Saturday in the Rams’ regular-season home finale at Canvas Stadium.“There’s no loss of confidence. I really know the player I am, who I can be.”The lithe Texan showed it down the stretch, completing five of his last seven throws in the fourth quarter and using his arm — and legs — to preserve the fourth home victory for the Rams (5-6, 3-4 Mountain West), who can clinch bowl eligibility with a win at Hawaii (4-8, 2-5) next weekend.Fowler-Nicolosi’s afternoon, like the game itself, wasn’t pretty. The CSU signal-caller misfired on 10 of 15 pass attempts in the second and third quarters as a 20-3 Rams lead evaporated into a 23-20 nail-biter to start the fo...
