Deep dives
Colorado Supreme Court Removes Trump from State's Ballot
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Trump is ineligible to run for federal office in the state. The court claims that Trump violated his presidential oath and incited an insurrection on January 6, thus giving up his right to be on the ballot. Trump's team plans to appeal the ruling, and the case will now go to the US Supreme Court for a final decision.
Texas Cracks Down on Illegal Immigration
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill that makes it a state crime to enter Texas illegally. The new law allows local officials to enforce immigration law and increases penalties, including up to 20 years in prison for repeat offenders. The move defies President Biden's catch-and-release policy and puts pressure on his administration to address concerns over border security. The ACLU of Texas has vowed to sue the state, arguing that immigration is a federal issue.
Tennessee Attorney General Sues BlackRock Over Consumer Protection Violations

The lawsuit alleges that BlackRock made inconsistent statements about its investment strategies, presenting conflicts between its fiduciary duty and its participation in climate-focused coalitions. This legal action follows other states' actions against BlackRock, including divestment and warnings about potential conflicts with financial obligations.
