,1,President Joe Biden turned his State of the Union address into a muscular campaign kickoff, never once uttering Donald Trump’s name but repeatedly invoking the threat posed by his likely general election foe.
The overtly political tone underscored the stakes of the night for the president. And it was set from the beginning, as a fiery Biden laid out three challenges — the war in Ukraine, the Jan. 6 insurrection and reproductive rights — that would be further imperiled if his predecessor returned to office.

,1,Groundhog Day 2024 marks 10 years since then-NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio dropped Staten Island Chuck.
The groundhog, a stand-in for Chuck named Charlotte, died days later.
The death of Staten Island Chuck and the political scandal that followed remains part of de Blasio's legacy, something the former mayor acknowledged in an interview with New York Magazine last year.
"Why would you want an elected official to hold a groundhog?" de Blasio said. "I don’t know anything about holding groundhogs. So the whole thing is just insane."
Groundhogs are no longer held during predictions at Staten Island Zoo.

,1,After explicit deepfakes of Taylor Swift spread on X last week, lawmakers renewed calls for urgent legislation on the issue.
A reminder: no federal laws currently prohibit the sharing or creation of deepfakes, though several bills have been proposed in Congress and some states have passed laws to crack down on manipulated media. The Federal Election Commission, too, has been considering rule changes to regulate the use of A.I. deepfakes in campaign materials.

,1,Gov. Ron DeSantis ended his turbulent campaign Sunday after he was unable to convince Republicans to set aside their allegiance to the man who helped his own political career.
DeSantis also endorsed Donald Trump for president.

,1,After finishing third in the Iowa caucus Monday night, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley says the state turned the GOP primary into a 'two-person race.'
,1,Donald Trump revealed Wednesday he knows his vice presidential pick already, even though he wouldn’t say who it was.

Those were among the highlights of an hourlong Fox News town hall Wednesday night moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Trump was pressed on everything from his authoritarian rhetoric — “I am not going to be a dictator,” he declared — to millions in payments his businesses received from foreign governments during his first term.

,1,Maine’s top election official ejected former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot on Thursday, declaring him ineligible to serve as president because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, offered forceful arguments around Trump’s political conduct as a defense of her decision.
"The 14th Amendment does not say 'conviction,' it says 'engaged' ... Mr. Trump engaged in that insurrection."
Joel Stetkis, chair of the Maine Republican Party, slammed the decision as "arbitrary" and a violation of voters' rights.
"This isn't about Donald Trump. This is about our Constitutional right," he said.
,1,Nikki Haley declined to say that slavery was a cause of the Civil War on Wednesday evening, placing the blame, instead, on the role of government.
The former UN Ambassador and South Carolina governor, who has seen her star rise in the first-in-the-nation primary state, was appearing at a town hall event in Berlin, New Hampshire, when a voter asked her to identify the cause of the war.
The exchange, which took place roughly an hour and a half into the town hall event, underscored the unique nature and customary pitfalls that often await candidates in New Hampshire, where direct exchanges with voters are the norm.
