DENVER (AP) — Colorado Supreme Court justices on Wednesday sharply questioned both sides about whether they could exclude former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot in a case that seeks to upend his bid for a second term by claiming the Constitution's insurrection clause bars him from another run for the White House.At issue is the wording of the Civil War-era clause itself, whether the courts have a right to intervene at this stage if Trump has otherwise met the basic requirements to appear on Colorado's 2024 primary ballot and whether Trump indeed incited an insurrection when his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The military announced late Wednesday it was grounding all of its Osprey V-22 helicopters, one week after eight Air Force Special Operations Command service members died in a crash off the coast of Japan.The Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps took the extraordinary step of grounding hundreds of aircraft after a preliminary investigation of last week's crash indicated that a materiel failure — that something went wrong with the aircraft — and not a mistake by the crew led to the deaths. The crash raised new questions about the safety of the Osprey, which has been involved in multiple fatal accidents over its relatively short time in service. Japan grounded its fleet of 14 Ospreys after the crash. Lt. Gen.

Rare Air

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:50:17 GMT

South Florida is undergoing a rare and temporary change to colder temperatures. The cooling peaks Thursday morning (after the initial cool batch arrived late Tuesday and Wednesday). On Wednesday, daytime highs barely crossed the 70-degree mark. The last time that happened? Way back in January. As the colder air continues to rush in, readings will fall into the widespread 50ºs early Thursday. The only exception will be the Florida Keys, where temperatures will bottom out in the lower 60ºs. Even as jackets and sweaters make a comeback, realize this “cold spell” ends by Friday. That’s when winds shift. As the air turns off the ocean waters we’ll see temperatures rebound, area-wide. If you’re thinking about the upcoming weekend, you’ll need to plan for much warmer air. Highs will return to the lower and possibly middle 80ºs with humidity also on the rise. There’s also the potential for some rain showers returning. The most opportuni...
