"McCarthy's Chosen Successor Barred from Congressional Race by California Secretary of State"

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's endorsed successor, California Assemblyman Vince Fong, has been deemed ineligible to run for the congressional seat by the California Secretary of State's office. Fong had already filed to run for reelection in his Assembly district, making him ineligible to appear as a congressional candidate. Fong plans to challenge the determination, calling it an "unprecedented interference." Other candidates set to appear on the ballot include Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, businessman David Giglio, public school teacher Marisa Wood, and security officer Andy Morales.

Bolsonaro also faces other legal troubles, including criminal investigations.

Basketball Australia has ruled that transgender female basketball player Lexi Rodgers is ineligible to compete in elite or sub-elite basketball, including for the Kilsyth Cobras in the WNBL1 South women’s semi-professional basketball league in Australia. The governing body evaluates transgender athletes’ availability on a "case-by-case basis accounting for and balancing a range of factors, and has implemented this process on behalf of Basketball Victoria in this matter." Rodgers said she was disappointed with the determination and would continue to advocate for transgender athletes.
