The University of Idaho began demolishing a house on Thursday morning, despite pleas from two of the victims' families to wait until evidence needed for the court case was collected from the site. The house, located in Moscow, Idaho, was the site of a tragic incident last year in which four University of Idaho students were fatally stabbed. The FBI had gathered additional information from the house in October, but the demolition of the house began early Thursday morning, with debris from the home’s walls being loaded into a dump truck. The families of the victims have expressed their disappointment at the school's decision to proceed with the demolition before all evidence was collected.
The Colorado Republican Party has filed an appeal to the state's Supreme Court decision that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the presidency, extending the stay of the ruling. Nikki Haley's failure to mention slavery at a campaign event in New Hampshire is a tacit acknowledgment of the party's Trumpist leanings. Trump himself has said he plans to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could have far-reaching implications for the future of the presidency.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was criticized for failing to mention slavery as the primary cause of the Civil War when asked about it at a campaign event in Berlin, New Hampshire. The Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865 between the Union and Confederate states over the issue of slavery, with the Union wanting to abolish it and the Confederate states wanting to preserve it. Historians and civil rights activists have argued that it is important to recognize the role of slavery in the war and to understand its history.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., announced Wednesday that she will be seeking the Republican nomination for Colorado's 4th Congressional District in the 2024 election cycle. Rep.

Boebert, who was elected to Colorado's 3rd Congressional District in the 2022 midterms, believes this is the right move for her personally and for those who support the conservative movement. It is expected that the race for the 4th Congressional District will be competitive.
