Colorado voters in the Nov. 5 election face a crush of judicial retention questions on the ballot that can be intimidating. How should voters approach them? Judges in Colorado are appointed to the bench in state and county courts, rather than elected.

The terms of the settlement between 2020 election workers Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, in their defamation case against the right-wing Gateway Pundit site have not been disclosed.

The requests for such extraordinary and unprecedented measures, first reported by The New York Times, come after the campaign was briefed on Iranian plots to kill the former president.

We've got the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying Trump "is now the most dangerous person to this country,” and most of the American media just blows it off. Retired Gen. Mark Milley Calls Trump ‘A Total Fascist’: Retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, now says Trump is a “total fascist” and “fascist to the core,” according to a forthcoming book by Bob Woodward, the famed Watergate journalist. “He is the most dangerous person ever,” Milley told Woodward for his book “War,” according to The Guardian.

By JOSH BOAK, AAMER MADHANI and DARLENE SUPERVILLE GREENVILLE, N. C. (AP) — Kamala Harris used an appearance Sunday before a largely Black church audience in battleground North Carolina to call out Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about the government’s hurricane response. President Joe Biden visited Florida for the second time this month to survey storm damage.
