The Federalist Papers: MLB Legend Eyeing US Senate Seat, Could Give GOP First Victory in Decades
MLB legend Steve Garvey is considering running for a Senate seat in California as a Republican, which would be a break in the state's decades long tradition of electing democratic Senators. Garvey would be running against potential Democratic candidates Katie Porter, Adam Schiff and Barbara Lee to replace incumbent Dianne Feinstein, who has announced that she will not seek another term.

The Epoch Times: Rep. Jamie Raskin 'Seriously Considering' Run for Senate Seat Opening in 2024
Rep. Jamie Raskin is considering running for retiring Sen. Ben Cardin's Senate seat in 2024, but has not yet decided. Raskin notes that such openings rarely happen, and sees compelling reasons to both run and not run. Cardin's retirement has given the GOP hopes to recruit Gov. Larry Hogan to run for the Republican ticket, but Hogan has repeatedly rebuffed these efforts. With Maryland's deep blue leanings, it seems likely that any Democrat who wins the nomination will be poised to win the seat.
Fox News: GOP senator slams Biden admin relationship with China: ‘love-struck teenagers’
Sen. Tom Cotton criticized the Biden administration for their relationship with China and expressed concern over lifting tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Cotton stated that it projects weakness and encouraged China to continue acts of aggression towards the United States. Additionally, Cotton believes that the best way to deter China and other countries would be with a strong military presence.
Cotton's remarks came after a Chinese warship came within 150 yards of a U.S. destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, and as Biden signed a debt ceiling bill, cutting non-defense spending and raising the government's borrowing limit. The bill increases defense spending by 3% for the first year, which Cotton believes is very risky and that the Pentagon cannot find savings to match and offset the cuts in this bill or the threats that the U.S. faces from countries like China, Iran, and Russia.

The Epoch Times: A Mother's Quest to Save Her Daughter from Gender Surgery
Julie's daughter Eileen announces she wants gender reassignment surgery, prompting a journey of discovery for Julie. Eileen had been abandoned in a Chinese orphanage and brought to America by Julie, who speculates that her experiences influenced her desire for reassignment surgery. After exhausting several "horrible" therapists, Julie found a psychologist who diagnosed Eileen with borderline personality disorder, not gender dysphoria - the standard diagnosis used to justify such surgeries. Eileen has been seeing this psychologist weekly since 2019, and her mental health has improved. Julie believes it's important to maintain a loving relationship with children who have gender dysphoria, but also to draw important boundaries like refusing hormone therapy.
