|

About the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity:
"Since 1909, the Congressional Baseball Game has been an annual bipartisan event beloved by all and enjoyed by thousands. Members of the United States Congress from each party solidify friendships off the floor and on the field. Over the last century the Congressional Baseball Game’s popularity has contributed to its evolution into a foundation called Congressional Sports for Charity that supports worthy and effective Washington, DC area charities. These charities include The Washington Literacy Center, The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, and the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation along with the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund in gratitude to the brave officers at the Republican practice shooting on June 14, 2017."

From the Cherokee Tribune:
"Caroline Maurer, who graduated from Cherokee High School with the class of 2018, has been appointed to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. She starts “beast training” at the academy July 1. Mauer was previously enrolled at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
While in high school, Maurer received an invitation to West Point’s Summer Leadership Experience, a weeklong program for rising seniors to experience life as a cadet at West Point. Maurer applied last year with nominations from Senators Johnny Isakson and David Perdue, but did not receive an appointment. Instead, she received a four-year Army ROTC scholarship to any university with an Army program in the country."

In the News: House Democrats pass election-security bill requiring paper ballots
|
|
|
From the Washington Times:
"Republicans said they support shoring up election security, but said there was no evidence that election results were actually hacked in 2016 or 2018.

“Look, if the Russians were physically invading our nation with bombers and tanks, this bill would be the equivalent of giving our military pellet guns and paper airplanes to thwart the attack,” he said.
