"James Talarico has to say anti-trans things in order for him to win" is so utterly divorced from basic reality. It didn't help Colin Allred win when he did the same thing in 2024 and, based on polling, it hasn't resulted in Talarico increasing his polling numbers whatsoever.

...no words other than disgusting.
“I hope Planned Parenthood knows that if we don’t win it’s more their loss than ours. FUCK THOSE BITCHES,” she later wrote in a text message to her staff in January 2024 that was viewed by The Times.

A text message from Mary Peltola that reads, “I hope Planned Parenthood knows that if we don’t win it’s more their loss than ours. FUCK THOSE BITCHES.”

Later that year, Ms. Peltola, appearing to refer to a woman on the board of the local Planned Parenthood chapter, wrote in another text, “I hope she dies of a botched abortion.”

The campaign claims that any outbursts from Peltola were due to the grief of losing her mother and husband and that these former staffers are 'exaggerating or outright lying.'
“At the time of their passing, Mary was parenting kids through their own grief, serving full-time in the U.S. House of Representatives thousands of miles from home, and running a competitive re-election campaign — all while shouldering the enormous burden of grief,” said the spokesman, Harry Child. “Like any person who has gone through multiple personal tragedies in the span of a few months, Mary sometimes struggled to deal with her grief.”

“Exaggerating and outright lying about moments from the hardest period of her life, and falsely presenting them as a pattern of behavior, is wrong,” he said.

And if you don't want to click any links, here's the claims against Peltola, including claimed evidence of her using the r-slur in text messages to staff.
But behind the scenes, her political operation has been marked by tumult, a pattern that stretches back to her time in Congress. Former aides describe angry and profane outbursts, sometimes directed at aides and sometimes expressed about others who had displeased her. In one instance, she shoved an aide, according to a former staff member who was present and two others who were told about it at the time. Another conflict led to a surprising staff shake-up on the eve of the primary election last month.

Four former staff members said they directly heard her use the word “[f-slur]” over the years, in some cases about her own staff members, an allegation the campaign denied. She also used the word “[r-slur],” according to former aides and text messages viewed by The New York Times.

Intriguing anecdote, and if it represents a true shift in how mail votes are being returned, then this is fantastic news: Thanks to Trump, mail voters may now be more inclined to return their ballots in drop boxes as opposed to returning them by mail.
Although Trump's mail-in plans were stopped, they've still led to a big shift.  Of the 28,413 mail-in ballots cast so far in New Jersey:

15,089 have been returned in drop boxes-- 53%.  
11,987 by mail-- 42%.

In 2021, just 21% were returned in drop boxes.
77% by mail.

Safer for Teens, Same Discord for Adults
We’re launching a revamped, privacy-focused age assurance solution including methods that won’t require an ID or selfie. Here’s how it works.

Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age. They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.
More than 90% of you won’t be asked to confirm your age. Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we’re launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback.
You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you're a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same. More on this below.
We've added several new ways to confirm your age, including some that don't require an ID or selfie (including credit cards). If you're an adult but weren't automatically placed in the adult age group, you can confirm your age group at any time by going to User Settings > Account Status. More on the new options below.

tl;dr No, trans women athletes are not at an advantage. Once more, this research was done years ago. Why are we letting geriatric politicians who can barely tell where and when they are try and inform us about medical science.
Significant Findings:

    Transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in tests measuring lower-body strength.
    Transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in tests measuring lung function.
    Transgender women had a higher percentage of fat mass, lower fat-free mass, and weaker handgrip strength compared to cisgender men.
    Transgender women’s bone density was found to be equivalent to that of cisgender women, which is linked to muscle strength.
    There were no meaningful differences found between the two groups’ hemoglobin profiles. Hemoglobin (Hb) plays a crucial role in athletic performance by facilitating improved oxygen delivery to muscles. Elite endurance athletes may exhibit up to a 40% higher level of Hb compared to untrained individuals. Moreover, heightened levels of Hb typically correlate with enhanced aerobic performance.

Similar findings have been echoed in previous reporting. According to a recent report that generated an in-depth review of all English-language scientific literature (published between 2011-2021) about transgender (trans) women athlete participation in elite sport, several key conclusions coincide with findings from the IOC funded study, including:

    Biomedical factors such as lung size, bone density, and hip-to-knee joint angle (q-angle) are not indicative of athletic prowess.
    Testosterone levels do not predict athletic performance or overall athleticism.
    Conversely, social elements such as nutrition, training regimen, and equipment accessibility significantly influence an athlete's performance, but are frequently disregarded in policy formulation.
    It's imperative to integrate both biomedical and social scientific insights into policy-making processes. However, there's a tendency to prioritize biomedical research excessively, which can compromise the overall well-being of athletes.
