Yesterday at the White House, Trump again said the U.S. has been treated very unfairly by the Chinese when it comes to trade and tariffs.        Oregon's Attorney General says the Court of Appeals ruling allowing National Guard troops to be deployed in Portland is a dangerous decision for America. Attorney General Dan Rayfield says, if the ruling is allowed to stand, it would give the president unilateral power to put Oregon soldiers on the streets with almost no justification.        The government shutdown continues. The Senate voted 50-43 on Monday against a House-passed resolution to reopen the government, marking the 11th failed attempt. .        Former President Biden is done with another round of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. A Biden spokesperson tells CBS News that Biden completed several weeks of the treatment Monday at a hospital in Philadelphia.        The 2025 World Series is set.
