Ohio lawmakers ban gender-affirming care for minors, overriding governor’s veto https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/01/24/transcare-veto-override/

"The evidence here demonstrates that [Jan 6 Insurrection] occurred at the behest of, and with the knowledge and support of, the outgoing President. The U.S. Constitution does not tolerate an assault on the foundations of our government, and [Maine law] requires me to act in response.”

Anyone else get Marbury v. Madison energy from the Colorado lower court decision finding that Trump did in fact engage in insurrection but that he could not be struck from ballot bc the Disqualification Clause does not apply to Presidents?

Colorado Supreme Court on why "officer of the United States" in the Insurrection Clause includes President:
