- West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.

pbs.org/newshour/politics/oregon-governor-signs-a-bill-recriminalizing-drug-possession
Quick Glance: Oregon Governor Signs Law Recriminalizing Drug Possession
- Oregon's Democratic Governor, Tina Kotek, signed a law that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, putting an end to an initial experiment with decriminalization.
- The new law makes personal drug possession a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and encourages treatment options as an alternative to criminal penalties.
- According to Kotek, the success of the law relies on close coordination between courts, police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and local mental health providers to achieve the intended goals.
- The changes will be effective on September 1 after Oregon Democrats shifted their stance on decriminalization due to pressures from the fentanyl crisis and implementation issues.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
- Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.
- Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.
- United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.
- On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
