Summary

Today’s Headlines: In Colorado, fallout continues after the state's Supreme Court disqualified Donald Trump from its ballots. President Biden acknowledged Trump's involvement in the insurrection but refrained from explicitly commenting on his eligibility for future office. The Supreme Court is set to decide next year on the validity of Colorado's decision, raising questions about the application of Section 3 of the 14th amendment to former presidents. Meanwhile, a federal judge ruled that a Confederate statue at Arlington National Cemetery can be removed, dismissing concerns about grave desecration. The statue will be relocated to state-owned land in the Shenandoah Valley as per Governor Glenn Youngkin's instructions. The UN Security Council postponed a vote on a resolution for a second time, seeking US support to pause fighting between Israel and Hamas. In New York City, the council voted to ban solitary confinement in jails, overriding Mayor Eric Adams' opposition. Finally, a traveler faces theft charges for stealing $23,000 from co-passengers aboard a Singapore Airlines flight.
