SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California could soon require judges to consider whether a parent affirms their child’s gender identity when making custody and visitation decisions under a bill that cleared the state Senate on Wednesday.The vote was split almost entirely along party lines, with Democrats arguing the legislation would help to protect the well-being of LGBTQ+ children whose parents are going through a divorce. Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener, who represents San Francisco, said the bill was a proactive measure.“This is about not having to get involved after a child has been beaten and had their arm broken, or after they’ve been kicked out,” Wiener said. “This is about trying to make sure that something terrible does not happen to them.”Every Republican in the state Senate voted against the bill, with state Sen. Kelly Seyarto, who represents Murrieta in Southern California, arguing that lawmakers were interfering too much with how parents choose to raise their children.“Insertin...Celeste Maloy wins Republican nomination for U.S. House in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District special primary election

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Sean Payton’s quest to restore the Denver Broncos’ long-lost offensive swagger in 2023 starts with resurrecting Russell Wilson’s career.Denver’s offense and its star quarterback plummeted to new depths last season under Nathaniel Hackett, who was fired after 15 games with the Broncos averaging a league-low 15.8 points per game and Wilson mired in his worst season as a pro. General manager George Paton insisted the coaching change wasn’t driven by the need “to turn around Russ,” who finished with a career-low 16 touchdown passes and a career-high 55 sacks. “It’s not just one player. It’s not whether Russ is fixable or not, but we do believe he is.”Payton is just the man to oversee Wilson’s rebound, said NBC “Sunday Night Football” analyst Cris Collinsworth.“Sean Payton’s one of the greatest coaches of all time,” Collinsworth said. “Of.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — After not getting a long-term contract with the New York Giants and signing his $10 million franchise tag, star running back Saquon Barkley is once again out to prove himself.It’s the same approach, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 draft took after not getting a deal before last season. All he did was respond with a career-best 1,312 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns. He tied for the team lead with 57 catches.All it got him was a franchise tag after the season and his highly publicized contract talks got nowhere in a market that no longer favors running backs. He ended up signing for the franchise amount a day before the start of training camp, which he felt was a major disappointment.“All that’s in the past,” Barkley said after practice Wednesday, just four days before the Giants’ Sunday night opener against the Dallas Cowboys. “Like I said, once I made that mindset to come here, you’ve got to be mature about it.
