They want a court order blocking Griswold from putting Trump’s name on Colorado’s GOP primary ballot and the general election ballot. • Does Griswold have the power under Colorado law to exclude a candidate from the ballot based on federal constitutional considerations?

The decision comes just days before a trial on Trump's eligibility for the ballot is expected to begin. In a 24-page ruling, Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace pushed back on Trump's argument that Congress, not courts, should handle questions related to his ballot eligibility. She also sided against Trump's claim that state election officials lack the power to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Wallace's ruling Wednesday comes after Chief U.S. District Judge Philip A. Brimmer denied Trump's request to move the Colorado ballot case to federal court. In a four-page order, Brimmer sent the lawsuit back to the same state court in Denver County where it was filed on behalf of the group of voters.

He still has a pending motion to throw out the Colorado lawsuit, but the case now appears on track for an unprecedented trail this month. A liberal watchdog group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed the Colorado case on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated voters. The judge is scheduled to preside over a trial beginning October 30 to decide a series of novel legal questions about how the 14th Amendment could apply to Trump. Trump is sure to appeal any decision to strip him from the ballot, which means the Supreme Court and its conservative supermajority might get the final say. The Colorado challengers recently revealed in a court filing that they want to depose Trump before trial.

☆ Colorado Lawsuit Seeks to Keep Trump Off Ballots Under 14th Amendment
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-06 | by ( Maggie Astor | More About Maggie Astor | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Six Colorado voters filed a lawsuit on Wednesday seeking to keep former President Donald J. Trump off the state’s ballots under the 14th Amendment, which says anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution after taking an oath to defend it is ineligible to hold office. The lawsuit, which was filed in a state district court in Denver with the help of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, demands that the Colorado secretary of state not print Mr. Trump’s name on the Republican primary ballot. Mr. Trump would surely appeal any ruling that he was ineligible, and a final decision could rest with the Supreme Court, which has a conservative supermajority that includes three justices he appointed. A spokesman for Mr. Trump did not respond to a request for comment. Jena Griswold, the Colorado secretary of state, said in a statement, “I look forward to the Colorado court’s substantive resolution of the issues, and am hopeful that this case will provide guidance to election officials on Trump’s eligibility as a candidate for office.”

☆ Wegovy shown to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke in major cardiovascular trial

CNN —The weight loss drug Wegovy was shown to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or heart disease-related death by 20% in a major clinical trial in people with cardiovascular disease, the first to show a weight loss drug alone can have such protective effects. It called the five-year trial “Select.”The finding of a 20% reduction in heart risk is higher than many experts had anticipated. A similar trial for the type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic, which uses the same ingredient, semaglutide, previously showed it could reduce cardiovascular risk by 26% — but no trial had yet shown a risk reduction in people without diabetes. It said it will present detailed results from the trial at a scientific conference later this year. It’s awaiting US Food and Drug Administration approval for weight loss as well.

Despite having been recommended for release more than seven months ago, he continued to be held in immigration custody, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. In November 2022, an ICE panel recommended Rocha-Cuadra be released from custody, but officials at the facility declined to release him, a statement from the SPLC said. In a written statement to the press, Rocha-Cuadra’s brother joined a chorus of immigration rights advocates calling for the ICE facility to be investigated.

Six people have been accused of forging ballot signatures using the names of dead people, officials say. The people worked for a company that circulated a petition to get a Republican candidate on the ballot, according to court documents. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said her office rejected an "unprecedented" number of signatures. The Colorado Secretary of State's Office rejected the petition because it "lacked the necessary 1,500 valid voter signatures to be included on the ballot," Byrne wrote in the affidavit. In total, the Secretary of State's Office rejected 3,417 of the 4,462 signatures turned in by Andersen, Secretary of State Jena Griswold said.

Take the case of artificial sweeteners. Randomized studies — where people are randomly assigned to one treatment or another to ensure that no other factors interfere — are considered the gold standard. But randomized trials of sweeteners are often small and brief, which makes it hard to reach reliable conclusions about their long-term effects. The way sweeteners are studied in trials is also often very different from the way people use them in the real world. If people who consume more sweeteners are more likely to have Type 2 diabetes, did the sweeteners cause the diabetes?

Including Mashnee Girl and Excursionniste, four horses have died during races at Belmont Park's spring/summer meet, which began on May 4 and has encompassed 1,670 horses starting in 214 races, according to McKenna. Saturday's Belmont Stakes capped a tumultuous five weeks of racing that normally shines a bright light on the sport of kings.
