In the weeks leading up to the Nov. 5 election , the vast majority of Colorado voters felt like they had more in common with their neighbors than not, according to a recent poll from the Colorado Polling Institute. The poll of 822 Colorado voters from Oct. 25 to Nov. 4 was conducted via calls and online. The margin of error of the survey is plus or minus 3.42%. “Coloradans may not agree on everything, but large majorities agree the state has a bright future and a common set of values that guide us,” said Kevin Ingham, principal of Aspect Strategic, according to a news release about the poll. About 77% of those interviewed said they believe that “Coloradans have more in common than what divides us,” compared to only 23% who disagree with that sentiment, according to the results. The poll found that half of all respondents believed the state is headed in the “right direction.” That’s a slightly higher share compared to the last time the question was asked in March. People who have lived in the state for over 20 years felt the least optimistic about the future of the state, with nearly half of that group saying they feel the state is “off on the wrong track.” Donald Trump voters in Colorado also felt significantly less positive about the future of the state compared to Kamala Harris voters. Responses also showed those who were polled have three top priorities for state lawmakers in the next state legislative session. Health care costs were the highest ranked issue with 48% of respondents saying it was their top priority. Illegal immigration was ranked second highest with 47% saying it was their highest concern. Affordable housing was the third highest with 46% marking it as their primary issue. More than nine in 10 respondents said the laws passed by the state legislature impact their lives either directly or indirectly. Gov. Jared Polis was ranked as very popular in the poll with 54% of respondents saying they have a favorable view of the governor. About 55% of voters said they feel the Democratic Party is out of touch with them, compared to 66% who said the same about the Republican Party. Three out of four Republican voters in the state said they are more of a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump than the traditional Republican Party. The poll honed in on voters unaffiliated with any political party, a group that is growing in the state. About a third of those unaffiliated voters said they feel both parties are out of touch with them. Seventy percent of the unaffiliated voters said it isn’t easy for them to find unbiased information about what is happening in politics.

Intuit Inc. (INTU) UBS Global Technology and AI Conference (Transcript)New details surrounding Jesse James and Bonnie Rotten ’s divorce are being uncovered. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly , Rotten, 31, filed for divorce and a protective order against her estranged husband on November 19 and requested the court to award her a cat named Olive, clothing, a 2022 Dodge Ram TRX, a digital controlled gun safe and several guns including an AK-47. She also requested “contents of the ‘gun room,’ including belts, tools, plate carriers, helmets and other competitive shooting gear.” (In response to Rotten’s divorce filing, James requested his ex “take nothing” and entered a “general denial.”) Rotten — who married James, 55, in June 2022 and welcomed a son, Bishop, in June 2023 — also asked the court to grant her “exclusive possession” of their child with James paying support. “During our marriage, James has repeatedly hit, shoved and assaulted me,” Rotten alleged in court docs asking for a protective order. In his own request for a protective order against Rotten, James accused his ex of having “alcohol abuse issues” and alleged that she “gets violent and aggressive.” He also asked the court to suspend Alaina’s license to carry a handgun and prohibit her from removing their son from his care. The former reality star also requested in his counterpetition for divorce that his ex undergo drug and alcohol testing for the safety of their child. James also alleged that he “recently learned” his estranged wife “has been abusing our pets.” The West Coast Choppers founder — who was previously married to Sandra Bullock — stated in court documents that he believes Rotten (who wants her name restored to Alaina Antionette Hicks) filed an application for a protective order “in bad faith” and alleged it “contains numerous false statements designed to shift blame onto me.” “That reality is that I am the victim of Alaina’s repeated and escalating violence and threats,” James alleged in court docs, adding they are no longer living together. In his declaration, he claimed that after “drinking with friends” in May, Rotten came home and “was kicking the door and screaming”: “She told me, ‘I am going to get a gun and shoot you,’” he alleged. “And I truly I believed that she was going to do that so I went and hid in my closet and laid down on the floor.” She claims he called her a “whore,” a “horrible mother,” adding he allegedly “shoved me to the ground... [and] began forcibly slamming the door into my body.” The custom car and motorcycle builder also claims she kicked a door into his hand: “[This] broke my wrist and dislocated my thumb,” he alleged in docs. “I fell and could not pick myself up. ... My wrist needs surgery and pins which I have not done yet as it will mean that I cannot work for a period of time while I heal.” In turn, she claimed she “did not intend for the door to hit” him: “As I bent over to see if he was ok, [he] hit me as hard as he could with his closed fist. He hit me so hard in the throat that it took my breath away,” she wrote in her filing for protective order, adding his “anger was getting worse and worse” and she left their home to protect their baby. Rotten previously filed for divorce from James twice in December 2022, which she documented via Instagram at the time. The pair seemingly reconciled shortly after. “I mistakenly posted my private business between my husband and I on social media,” Rotten wrote via Instagram at the time. “Yes I filed for divorce ... the next day I filed a non suit to stop the divorce. I love Jesse so much and was very hurt by what I saw when I went through his phone. In his defense and the reason I am back home is that he didn’t say anything inappropriate. He didn’t talk about ‘having sex or meeting up with anyone.’ That’s why I am here working out the marriage that I believe in.” You have successfully subscribed.

Mr Biden told African leaders the resource-rich continent of more than 1.4 billion people had been “left behind for much too long”. “But not anymore,” Mr Biden added. “Africa is the future.” Mr Biden used the third and final day of a visit to Angola – his long-awaited, first trip to sub-Saharan Africa as president – to travel to the coastal city of Lobito and tour an Atlantic port terminal that’s part of the Lobito Corridor railway redevelopment. Mr Biden described it as the largest US investment in a train project outside America. The US and allies are investing heavily in the project that will refurbish nearly 1,200 miles of train lines connecting to the mineral-rich areas of Congo and Zambia in central Africa. The corridor, which likely will take years to complete, gives the US better access to cobalt, copper and other critical minerals in Congo and Zambia that are used in batteries for electric vehicles, electronic devices and clean energy technologies that Mr Biden said would power the future. China is dominant in mining in Congo and Zambia. The US investment has strategic implications for US-China economic competition, which went up a notch this week as they traded blows over access to key materials and technologies. The African leaders who met with Mr Biden on Wednesday said the railway corridor offered their countries a much faster route for minerals and goods – and a convenient outlet to Western markets. “This is a project that is full of hope for our countries and our region,” said Congo President Felix Tshisekedi, whose country has more than 70% of the word’s cobalt. “This is not just a logistical project. It is a driving force for economic and social transformation for millions of our people.” The leaders said the corridor should spur private-sector investment and improve a myriad of related areas like roads, communication networks, agriculture and clean energy technologies. For the African countries, it could create a wave of new jobs for a burgeoning young population. Cargo that once took 45 days to get to the US – usually involving trucks via South Africa – would now take around 45 hours, Mr Biden said. He predicted the project could transform the region from a food importer to exporter. It’s “something that if done right will outlast all of us and keep delivering for our people for generations to come,” he said. The announcement of an additional $600 million took the U.S.’s investment in the Lobito Corridor to 4.0 billion dollars (£3.15 billion).
Clemson added a quarterback to its 2025 recruiting class on Tuesday with Chris Denson announcing his decision to flip from Coastal Carolina. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder from Plant City High School in Florida had been committed to the Chanticleers since April and has yet to visit Clemson's campus. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney has been putting a push on to flip Denson in recent weeks following the decommitment of Blake Hebert last month. "I just feel like my development will be through the roof," Denson told On3.com about his decision to switch. "Playing under one of the best coaches in the country and knowing that I haven't reached my potential yet, I know that they will take me to that level." A three-star recruit, Denson is ranked as the No. 50 quarterback in the nation by the 247 Composite. He is the 14th player to commit to the Tigers, who have also seen six players decommit this cycle, according to The Greenville News. "What makes Clemson special is just the level of ball that they are playing at," Denson said. "And the way they compete. I'm a huge competitor, so that's the type of place and people I want to surround myself around." --Field Level MediaTrump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada would sharply boost inflation, hurt economy, experts sayQuebec's Health Ministry says it is monitoring a rise in respiratory infections among children and teenagers in the province caused by a bacterium associated with walking pneumonia. In a statement, the ministry says it has received "signals indicating increased circulation" of the bacterium and is working with health and social services partners to track the situation. The bacterium is mycoplasma pneumoniae. According to Health Canada, the majority of infections in adults are asymptomatic, but it may cause upper respiratory tract infections in up to 50 per cent of cases. Symptoms can be severe in the elderly or immunocompromised. Symptoms develop over several days and persist for weeks to months, with common symptoms including sore throat, hoarseness, fever and cough. Progression to pneumonia is rare for children under five years of age, but common for those between five and 15 years old, Health Canada says. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is responsible for up to 40 per cent of community-acquired cases of pneumonia in children over five years old. A spokesperson for Montreal's Sainte-Justine Hospital, a pediatric hospital centre, says 2,025 emergency room patients were diagnosed with walking pneumonia between April 1 and Nov. 16. Compared to roughly the same time period last year, there were only 935 patients diagnosed with the disease, the spokesperson, Danika Landry, said in an email. "This year, we are seeing significant growth starting at the end of August," she said. The data from Sainte-Justine reflects the broader increase in transmission rates noted by the province. What is walking pneumonia and why does it seem to be on the rise? Montreal pediatric hospitals ask parents to avoid packed ERs if you can The ministry says that, while there is no mandatory reporting for mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in Quebec, data for 2024 shows higher transmission rates among people aged 17 and under compared to previous years. The ministry also pointed to the cyclical nature of the infection, with significant peaks recorded in 2015, 2019 and 2024. According to federal data, mycoplasma pneumoniae outbreaks tend to occur every three to five years. The statement says the bacterium is found worldwide and Quebec clinicians have access to several diagnostic tests to identify the pathogen.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Makenzie McGill II ran for 155 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns and North Texas ended a five-game losing streak beating Temple 24-17 on Saturday in a regular-season ender for both teams. The win helped North Texas (6-6, 3-5 American Athletic Conference) reach bowl eligibility. Prior to Saturday, the Mean Green hadn't won since Oct. 12 when they beat Florida Atlantic 41-37. The game's scoring outcome was settled by halftime. Chandler Morris threw a 14-yard touchdown to DT Sheffield on the game's opening drive for a 7-0 UNT lead. Kali Nguma added a 36-yard field 19 seconds later following a Temple turnover. The Owls (3-9, 2-6) got on the board with Maddux Trujillo's 44-yard field goal. McGill made it 17-3 with a 39-yard scoring run. Eight seconds into the second quarter, McGill ran 51 yards to the end zone for a 24-3 edge. Temple got two touchdowns before the half ended when Joquez Smith and Evan Simon each ran it in from the 1 to reduce the deficit to 24-17. North Texas clinched a bowl berth for the 15th time in program history and eighth time since 2013. It's the first time in the Eric Morris era North Texas has qualified for a bowl. Temple hasn't posted a winning season since 2019 when it went 8-5 and ended the season with a 55-13 loss to North Carolina in the Northrop Grumman Military Bowl. The Owls have ended the last four seasons with records of 3-9. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here . AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballNEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge Monday to throw out his hush money criminal conviction , arguing that continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ In a filing made public Tuesday, Trump’s lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan that anything short of immediate dismissal would undermine the transition of power, as well as the “overwhelming national mandate" granted to Trump by voters last month. They also cited President Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges . “President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’" Trump’s legal team wrote. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, they claimed, had engaged in the type of political theater "that President Biden condemned.” Prosecutors will have until Dec. 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but have indicated a willingness to delay the sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029. In their filing Monday, Trump's attorneys dismissed the idea of holding off sentencing until Trump is out of office as a “ridiculous suggestion.” Following Trump’s election victory last month, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing, previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defense and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. He says they did not and denies any wrongdoing. The defense filing was signed by Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump during the trial and have since been selected by the president-elect to fill senior roles at the Justice Department. Taking a swipe at Bragg and New York City, as Trump often did throughout the trial, the filing argues that dismissal would also benefit the public by giving him and “the numerous prosecutors assigned to this case a renewed opportunity to put an end to deteriorating conditions in the City and to protect its residents from violent crime.” Clearing Trump, the lawyers added, would also allow him to “to devote all of his energy to protecting the Nation.” Merchan hasn’t yet set a timetable for a decision. He could decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing, delay the case until Trump leaves office, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option. An outright dismissal of the New York case would further lift a legal cloud that at one point carried the prospect of derailing Trump’s political future. Last week, special counsel Jack Smith told courts that he was withdrawing both federal cases against Trump — one charging him with hoarding classified documents at his Florida estate, the other with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election he lost — citing longstanding Justice Department policy that shields a president from indictment while in office. The hush money case was the only one of Trump’s four criminal indictments to go to trial, resulting in a historic verdict that made him the first former president to be convicted of a crime. Prosecutors had cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him. Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels. Trump later reimbursed him, and Trump’s company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses — concealing what they really were, prosecutors alleged. Trump has said the payments to Cohen were properly categorized as legal expenses for legal work. A month after the verdict, the Supreme Court ruled that ex-presidents can’t be prosecuted for official acts — things they did in the course of running the country — and that prosecutors can’t cite those actions to bolster a case centered on purely personal, unofficial conduct. Trump’s lawyers cited the ruling to argue that the hush money jury got some improper evidence, such as Trump’s presidential financial disclosure form, testimony from some White House aides and social media posts made during his first term. Prosecutors disagreed and said the evidence in question was only “a sliver” of their case. If the verdict stands and the case proceeds to sentencing, Trump’s punishments would range from a fine to probation to up to four years in prison — but it’s unlikely he’d spend any time behind bars for a first-time conviction involving charges in the lowest tier of felonies. Because it is a state case, Trump would not be able to pardon himself once he returns to office.
