In an unprecedented move, the Colorado Supreme Court declared former President Donald Trump ineligible for the state’s ballots because of the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on the case, and the Colorado court has given a deadline of Jan. 5 to settle the matter in time for ballot printing. Read more from CBS News about the case and the clause in question.

Six US lawmakers have urged the FTC to take action on the merger of Kroger and Albertsons. Living in the Seattle area, this would effectively mean there was one company running the majority of the grocery stores in the area.

I continue to be perplexed that the FTC has so much focus on novel interpretations of antitrust laws to apply to big tech companies when there are many textbook monopolies harming American consumers which seem to be on the back burner. It’s bonkers.
