Trump is not allowed to run in Colorado’s presidential primary
HThe “s” isn’t the final word legally, but the decision is unprecedented: The Colorado Supreme Court barred former President Donald Trump from participating in the state’s 2024 primary. In its ruling Tuesday, the court cited the Insurrection Clause, which was set forth in The Fourteenth Amendment after the American Civil War.
Judging Trump’s role in the Capitol storming
The four-to-three justices’ decision said Trump did not merely incite the riot. Even after the siege of Congress began on January 6, 2021, he continued to support the mob and called on Vice President Mike Pence to reject his constitutional duty to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. Evidence suggests Trump was involved in the insurrection. The Fourteenth Amendment was enshrined after the Civil War to protect the country from former slave-owning Southerners who seceded from the Union.
Lawsuits fail in other states
In several other states, such as Michigan and Minnesota, similar lawsuits against Trump were dismissed, based on the Fourteenth Amendment, which was rarely used previously. This makes the ruling historic, even if Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential nomination, does not count on Colorado, a state that Democrats recently took control of. Trump’s lawyers announced an appeal: the Washington Supreme Court will decide the case. At a campaign rally in Iowa on Tuesday evening, Trump did not directly address the judge’s ruling. Ronna McDaniel, Secretary General of the RNC, spoke of „election interference.”
The Colorado ruling means Trump cannot appear on the ballot in Colorado’s primary, and voters also cannot write his name on the ballot. Trump’s campaign team called the ruling „flawed” and „undemocratic.”
The Supreme Court has the final say
The Fourteenth Amendment is vaguely worded. The position of president is not explicitly mentioned. It has been used only twice since 1919. The Colorado court put its decision on hold until shortly before ballots are printed in early January or until possible clarification by the Supreme Court. There are six justices nominated by Republican presidents. Three have been proposed by Democratic presidents. Trump’s election challenge was rejected by the Supreme Court after the 2020 presidential election. Justices will soon have to decide in a case against Trump, including conspiracy, whether the former president is immune from such lawsuits. In this context, the Democrats had asked Constitutional Court Judge Clarence Thomas to declare his bias because his wife supported Trump’s campaign against the election results.
The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision overturns the ruling of a lower court judge who found that Trump participated in an insurrection by inciting his supporters to violence, but that as president he was not an „officer of the United States.” addition. The case was brought by a group of Colorado voters with support from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington. CREW President Noah Bookbinder said the court’s decision was „not only historic and justified, but also necessary to protect the future of democracy in our country.”

War in Gaza: Israel criticizes Joe Biden after threatening to stop arms supplies
US President’s announcement Joe BidenThe move to suspend arms sales to Israel if it invades densely populated residential areas in Rafah has drawn strong criticism from the Israeli government. Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wrote on the X platform that the Islamic movement Hamas loves Biden.
In turn, Israeli opposition politicians criticized Ben Gvir for putting Israel in danger with such statements. However, Ben Gvir, who is considered a far-right extremist, is not a member of the war cabinet and therefore is not directly involved in key decisions in the Gaza war.
President Isaac Herzog also responded to Ben Gvir X’s post. “We must refrain from baseless, irresponsible and offensive comments and tweets,” he said.
The United States is said to have suspended the delivery of heavy bombs to Israel
Before Ben Gvir, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, had already expressed his disappointment with Biden’s announcement. Erdan told Israeli Kan radio: “This is a difficult and very disappointing statement from a president to whom we have been grateful since the beginning of the war.” Biden’s announcement would give Israel’s enemies such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran „hope of success.”
Biden had told CNN that he supports a large-scale invasion of the southern city, which is crowded with hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. Gaza strip His country will not supply weapons. The US government had already detained a shipment of ammunition due to Israeli actions in Rafah. American media reported that the shipment included 3,500 bombs, including bombs weighing 2,000 pounds (907 kg). According to analysts, Israel uses these devices in the war against Hamas, for example to destroy underground Islamist tunnels.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin explained to Congress on Wednesday that the United States expects Israel to take specific measures in Gaza to protect civilians. However, 2,000-pound bombs can cause „collateral damage.”
„Deep frustration” over limited US support
The news portal reported that senior Israeli officials expressed „deep frustration” over the seized shipment and warned that it could jeopardize indirect negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. Axios With reference to two anonymous sources.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote in a statement that Israel had received a reminder “that the war of independence is still ongoing.” When it was founded in 1948, the country also faced a US arms embargo. “Today we will once again achieve complete victory in this war, despite President Biden’s opposition and the arms embargo. We simply have no other choice because this war is an existential battle and anything less than comprehensive victory puts the existence of the United Nations at risk.” “The Jewish state will be put in danger,” Smotrich said.

Parliament in Kyiv approves the use of prisoners on the front
6:02 AM: The Ukrainian parliament approved a bill allowing the deployment of prisoners to the front. As MP Olena Shuljak announced on Facebook, deputies in Kiev voted in favor of the project in the second reading with 279 yes votes.
In exchange for amnesty, this allows imprisoned criminals to be deployed in the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces on the front. According to Shuljak, this should only happen on a voluntary basis. In addition, those affected may have less than three years of imprisonment remaining. Dangerous criminals imprisoned for multiple murders, rapes or attacks on national security are not given the opportunity.
Deputy Shuliak emphasizes that before the operation is performed, the physical and mental condition of the prisoners is also examined. Before the law enters into force, it must be signed by the Speaker of Parliament and the President of the Republic.
Ukraine bombs Russian targets – fires and casualties
5:48 AM: According to Russian sources, a Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire in a refinery in the Russian Krasnodar region. The regional administration said via the short message service „Telegram” that about six drones were shot down, but the debris fell on the refinery near the village of Yurovka and led to a fire. Several tanks were damaged.
In addition, according to Russian sources, at least eight people were injured and several homes and cars were damaged in a Ukrainian airstrike in Russia’s Belgorod region. The governor of the region bordering Ukraine said that an 11-year-old girl was among the injured and was taken to hospital.
Great Britain wants to expel the Russian military attaché
8:38 pm: Britain announced the imminent expulsion of the Russian military attaché. In fact, he is a „little-known military intelligence officer,” Home Secretary James Cleverley said in Parliament in London. A military attaché is a member of the armed forces who serves in an embassy and represents his country’s defense sector abroad.
Cleverley also announced that several Russian properties on British soil that London suspected were being used for „intelligence purposes” would lose their diplomatic status. Cleverly also reveals “new restrictions on Russian diplomatic visas”, in particular limiting the amount of time Russian diplomats can spend in the UK. The Russian ambassador was summoned and informed of the procedures.
Russia rejects the accusations against military attaché Maxim Ilovik and criticizes the loss of diplomatic status for Russian properties. „London decided to justify its anti-Russian measures with lies,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in Moscow. It announced a „strong response” from Russia without going into details.
GPS interference: Estonia appoints Russian charge d’affaires
7:23 pm: Estonia has summoned the Chargé d’Affaires of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn due to a disruption in GPS satellite navigation in the Baltic Sea region. Foreign Minister Margos Tsahkna said in Tallinn that so-called jamming – that is, active disruption of the signal – by Russia is becoming increasingly common. This causes confusion and has a major impact on civil aviation. Aircraft use a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to determine their location and for navigation.

Why are the leading candidates of the Austrian Green Party criticized?
Der Beginn des Europawahlkampfs der österreichischen Grünen ist von Turbulenzen um Spitzenkandidatin Lena Schilling überlagert worden. Am Mittwoch erschien in der österreichischen Zeitung „Der Standard“ ein Bericht, in dem Schilling zwar keine rechtlichen – oder im engeren Sinne politischen – Vorwürfe gemacht werden, aber in dem ein äußerst ungünstiges Charakterbild gezeichnet wird.
[–>
Anlass der Berichterstattung ist eine gerichtliche Unterlassungserklärung, mit der sich Schilling verpflichtet, bestimmte Behauptungen über Personen aus ihrem privaten Umfeld nicht mehr zu verbreiten. Daran anknüpfend zitiert die Zeitung mehrere anonyme Gesprächspartner in einer Weise, die es nahelegt, dass die junge politische Quereinsteigerin – bekanntgeworden als Klimaaktivistin – häufiger falsche abträgliche Behauptungen über andere Personen in die Welt setze. Schilling mochte sich in der Sache nicht äußern, da es sich um ihr Privatleben handle. Es werde gegen sie mit Gerüchten und Unterstellungen „kampagnisiert“.
[–>[–>
Zeitung kritisiert Reaktion des Parteivorsitzenden
[–>
Die Chefredaktion des linksliberalen Blattes rügte ihrerseits, dass der Grünen-Vorsitzende journalistische Arbeit als „Gefurze“ bezeichne. Man könne jede behauptete Einzelheit belegen. Veröffentlicht wurde – bei geschwärzten Namen – die Unterlassungserklärung. In dem Artikel wird ausführlich begründet, warum man sich entschlossen habe, in dieser Weise über Dinge zu berichten, die die Privatsphäre berühren. Schilling sei Spitzenkandidatin, werde wahrscheinlich ins Europaparlament einziehen und könnte dort die österreichische Grünen-Delegation anführen. Daher sei sie eine Person öffentlichen Interesses, und es sei relevant, wie sie sich gegenüber Kollegen und auch Medien verhalte.
[–>
In einem Fall geht es darum, dass sie einem Journalisten sexuelle Belästigung vorgeworfen haben soll. Der Mann sei von einer Kündigung bedroht gewesen, doch habe eine Untersuchung durch seinen Arbeitgeber keine Hinweise darauf ergeben, dass an dem Vorwurf etwas dran sei.
[–>[–>
Die Grünen sprachen hingegen von einer „organisierten Kampagne“. Die Fraktionsvorsitzende Sigrid Maurer meinte, das sei auch direkt gegen junge Frauen gerichtet. Klimaschutzministerin Leonore Gewessler bezeichnete die Vorwürfe als „hemmungslos“. Schilling selbst äußerte, dass sie lieber über politische Inhalte diskutieren wolle, nämlich den Klimaschutz.
