Federal Judge Terry A. Doughty's ruling halts a censorship system that poses a threat to free speech rights in the United States. However, the government's defense of the system suggests it will fight to maintain it, even up to the Supreme Court. Congress is making efforts to defund and dismantle the censorship apparatus through legislation, primarily targeting government-led speech policing in appropriations bills. The goal is to prevent agencies from using public funds to censor political speech and to prohibit the censorship of news sources based on subjective criteria or political biases. The legislation aims to enforce penalties for those violating the Free Speech Protection Act. While these efforts face challenges, some lawmakers are working to defend free speech against government interference.

Fox News: Gavin Newsom 'wants to run for president' in 2024, Democratic strategist says
California Governor Gavin Newsom has been traveling with President Biden to red states in an effort to build support for himself and his potential presidential bid in 2024. Democratic pollster and consultant Douglas Schoen argues that Newsom's actions show his clear intention to run for president, despite his claims to the contrary. Should Biden not seek a second term, Newsom could face challenges from Vice President Kamala Harris, but her low approval ratings make her an uncertain choice for many Democrats. The outcome of a general election against former President Donald Trump or another Republican remains uncertain.
In addition to his presidential aspirations, Newsom has faced criticism for his handling of issues in California, such as homelessness and affordability. While Newsom has survived a recall election and has positioned himself as a centrist, his state's left-leaning policies and problems under his leadership may pose challenges in a national election. Newsom has previously expressed his support for Biden's re-election campaign.

Fox News: US soldier detained in North Korea: How past imprisoned Americans fared after crossing the border
Reports of an American soldier detained in North Korea after crossing the border sparks memories of past incidents involving Americans on the wrong side of that border. Private 2nd Class Travis King is in custody and facing disciplinary action after intentionally crossing the Military Demarcation Line.

The Epoch Times: 'Bad' Cholesterol May Not Be So Bad
Researchers challenge the belief that LDL cholesterol is the main indicator of heart disease risk. They argue that measuring the number of LDL particles, rather than just LDL cholesterol levels, is a more relevant factor. The size and density of LDL particles also play a role, with small, dense LDL particles being more atherogenic. Other factors such as inflammation and insulin resistance contribute to cardiovascular disease as well. The advanced lipid test can provide a more accurate assessment of an individual's risk, but it is often not covered by insurance.

National Review: The Corner: Electric Vehicles: Strange New Respect for Hybrids
Climate policy-makers are opposed to hybrids, even though they reduce emissions and act as a bridge to fully electric vehicles. The push for "purity" is reminiscent of anti-tobacco policy-makers' opposition to vaping. However, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) offer a longer electric range and have the support of automakers like Toyota. Additionally, PHEVs alleviate range anxiety, consume less metal than EVs, and are more affordable. The future of hybrids is uncertain due to the preference for all-electric vehicles in climate policy, but they remain a valuable part of the vehicle mix.
