Surging Bills can’t ease up with Belichick’s Patriots up next, having lost to them already

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:54:58 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Forget the myriad scenarios — 14 in total — that would give the Buffalo Bills their fifth consecutive playoff berth if they beat or tie New England on Sunday. And don’t expect the Bills to do much scoreboard watching during the game, either, to find out whether the AFC East title will be on the line during their season finale at Miami.None of that matters to Bills center Mitch Morse when facing a Bill Belichick-coached team. Nor does the Patriots’ 4-11 record, or the speculation of major offseason changes looming in Foxborough, Massachusetts.“The one thing I’ve learned in this league is to expect the unexpected,” Morse said, dismissing speculation about Belichick’s tenure ending in New England after 24 seasons.“Until I see that, he’s been one of the most frustrating guys to play against because he’s such a masterful mind on the defensive front,” Morse added. “I have the utmost respect for what he’s done, and what he’s continued to do.”And if the Bills...

Secretaria de Estado de Maine retira a Trump de la boleta para la primaria estatal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:54:58 GMT

La secretaria de Estado demócrata de Maine eliminó el jueves al expresidente Donald Trump de la boleta primaria presidencial del estado bajo la cláusula de insurrección de la Constitución.De esa forma, se convirtió en la primera funcionaria electoral en tomar medidas unilaterales en un tema que tiene posibles consecuencias en el Colegio Electoral.Si bien Maine tiene sólo cuatro votos electorales, es uno de los dos estados que los divide. Trump ganó uno de los electores de Maine en 2020, por lo que dejarlo fuera de la boleta allí en caso de que surgiera como candidato republicano a las elecciones generales, podría tener enormes implicaciones en una contienda que se espera que se decida por estrecho margen.La decisión de la Secretaria de Estado, Shenna Bellows, sigue a un fallo de diciembre de la Corte Suprema de Colorado que expulsó a Trump de la boleta electoral en virtud de la Sección 3 de la 14ª Enmienda. Colorado es un estado de tendencia demócrata que no se espera que sea compet...

Maine bars Trump from ballot as US Supreme Court weighs states' authority to block former president

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:54:58 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally as the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether Trump remains eligible to return to the White House.The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a ruling earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether Trump is barred by the Civil War-era provision, which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows' decision to Maine's state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case. In the end, it is likely that the nation's highest court will have the fina...
