Deep dives
Colorado GOP Plans to Move to Caucus System
The Colorado GOP announced plans to transition from the state's primary election to a caucus system due to a ruling that bans former President Trump from the state's ballot. This decision came after a Republican representative and GOP candidate, Vivek Ramaswami, threatened to withdraw from the primary ballot unless Trump's name is restored. The court, composed of justices appointed by Democratic governors, invoked the Constitution's insurrection clause to disqualify the former president from the Oval Office. If the ruling stands, it will be the first time in history that section three of the 14th amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.
Controversial Housing Development Colony Ridge Sued
The Department of Justice and Consumer Protection Financial Bureau filed a lawsuit against the Colony Ridge housing development in Texas for alleged predatory financing practices and bait-and-switch sales. The development is accused of selling flood-prone land without infrastructure such as water, sewage, or electricity, while targeting Hispanic consumers with predatory loans. Moreover, it was revealed that the development marketed in Spanish but provided essential documentation only in English, taking advantage of a language barrier. The lawsuit builds upon a previous investigation that exposed the development's marketing practices seemingly aimed at individuals residing in the United States illegally.
