New York’s 21st congressional district representative Elise Stefanik was asked not to “get too carried away” by the newspaper’s editorial board after she shared a photo of a note calling her a “fascist pig.” The congresswoman’s tweet said it was placed on her car at the grocery store Saturday. In her post, Stefanik, who garnered praise from the president as one of his most vocal impeachment defenders, was quick to lash out against “radical” Democrats....

The Republican congressman from California told CNN correspondent Manu Raju “I support” Trump’s move to grant Stone clemency, according to a post Friday on Raju’s Twitter account. McCarthy’s apparent statement to reporters seems to be at odds with Stone’s repeated assertion that the GOP leader had privately advocated against Trump’s decision to keep Stone out of prison. Stone accused McCarthy and New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of advising the president to avoid commuting Stone before November’s election, worrying it could hurt the Republican Party politically....

As the Senate Judiciary Committee holds its last day of hearings for President Joe Biden’s nominee, the questioning from GOP senators on such topics as what a woman is and Jackson’s religious beliefs has been criticized. Also decried were the continual interruptions of Jackson while she was trying to speak, with some GOP questioners raising their voices. Durbin, chair of the Judiciary Committee and Senate majority whip, said he was “saddened” by the “attacks” on Jackson, Reuters reported....

The Georgia House on Thursday night could vote on a bill that would make significant changes to the state’s elections system that proponents say will restore voter confidence and improve oversight. The legislation comes a year after Georgia drew headlines for enacting a controversial elections bill. Critics say the new bill is being rushed through and will make it even more difficult to vote in the state. House Bill 1464 would add new security protocols for handling ballots, give the Georgia Bureau of Investigation a central role in election-related investigations and require the state election board to approve donations to elections offices from outside groups....

Seven Republican senators voted with all 50 members of the Democratic Caucus to convict Trump for inciting the insurrection against the U.S. Capitol on January 6, meaning the 57 to 43 decision was the most bipartisan presidential conviction vote in U.S. history. However, it still failed to reach the high constitutional threshold of a two-thirds majority (or 67 senators), which would have required 10 additional Republicans to vote “guilty.”...

This is many times hotter than the core of the sun, which is a relatively balmy 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, according to NASA. The temperature was achieved by scientists at TAE Technologies who operate Norman, which was unveiled in 2017 and initially designed to keep plasma stable at 54 million degrees Fahrenheit—though improvements have since been made. Nuclear fusion is the process of fusing two atomic nuclei together, creating one single heavier nucleus plus energy as a byproduct....

The vaccine site information is now available in Texas, Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia. The company also said it has expanded access to information panels with accurate information about vaccines to more than 40 countries, translated in dozens of languages so far. “The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected every community all over the world,” Sundar Pichai, chief executive officer of Google and its parent company, Alphabet, wrote in the announcement....

“It’s just going to run on wi-fi to start,” Osterloh said in an interview with The Verge. This means that one of the main selling points of the Stadia - being able to take triple-A gaming experiences wherever - will simply not be a factor at launch. Google Stadia players will be restricted to using the service in places where they have access to wi-fi, which is no doubt disappointing news to some who were looking forward to Stadia....

Coupled with other recent news that the partially wireless Stadia controller requires a USB-C connection when used it on phones or computers, the “games anywhere” mantra starts to get exceptionally murky. You won’t need a hardwired connection if you have the latest Chromecast Ultra device, but everyone else who wants to play the triple-A titles on their own devices will need a wire. These objections might seem small on paper, but, as the Stadia launch date nears, every bit of doubt in the service’s capability starts to add up....

Here’s how players assigned the duck role can win the match. 5 Take It Slow One of the most common ways that a novice duck will be caught out is in not realizing they are in view of another goose as they go for a kill....

The Quote While appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Hutchinson was asked about Trump’s speech in which he reportedly called McConnell a “dumb son of a bitch” and a “stone cold loser” while speaking to Republican National Committee (RNC) gathering at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. In response, Hutchinson said: “Well anything that’s divisive is a concern and it is not helpful for us fighting the battles in Washington and at the state level....

The FBI, with the approval of Attorney General Merrick Garland, carried out the raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort home, searching for top secret and sensitive compartmentalized information, as well as other classified documents. Trump and his allies have condemned the raid, with the ex-president calling it part of a “hoax” and an ongoing “witch hunt” targeting him. According to court papers released on Friday after a federal judge unsealed the warrant authorizing the search, federal agents seized classified documents at the property....

Republican Chris Sununu confirmed he will not be with those gathered at Portsmouth International Airport on Saturday, though stated he will go to greet the president. He said: “I will not be in the crowd of thousands of people, I’m not going to put myself in the middle of a crowd of thousands of people, if that’s your question specifically.” Sununu stated this was because he tries to be “extra cautious as the governor,” amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic....

“All this talk about Jan 6th from@realDonaldTrump and other congressional grifters is simply explained: they will raise money and gain followers by blaming everyone else knowing full well they can’t do anything. It’s sad, and an utter scam,” Kinzinger tweeted Saturday. The GOP lawmaker’s statement comes amid reports that Representative Mo Brooks and Senator Tommy Tuberville will challenge the Electoral College vote when Congress convenes in January. The two lawmakers have previously suggested they would use the Electoral Count Act of 1877 in a last-ditch effort to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election....

The suit, filed by attorney Harmeet Dhillon in the U.S. District Court of Sacramento, requests that the two state agencies work together to develop an improved system to verify the citizenship of persons registering to vote. It claims that an audit has revealed California DMV’s “motor voter” program, which registers DMV visitors to vote, is ‘‘riddled with technical problems" and these problems led to discrepancies in voter registrations, according to the Associated Press and the San Francisco Chronicle....

“If there’s any chance whatsoever that Joe Biden will be the next president, and it looked like he has a very good chance, the Trump administration should provide the Biden team with all transition materials, resources, and meetings necessary to ensure a smooth transition so that both sides are ready on day one. That especially should be true, for example, on vaccine distribution,” Alexander’s statement read. The statement continued, “Recounting votes and resolving disputes after a close election is not unprecedented and should reassure Americans that election results are valid....

In his new book, One Damn Thing After Another, which releases next month, Barr criticized Trump and his behavior towards the 2020 presidential election as he urged Republicans to drop the former president as the party’s dominant figure. He said Republicans should focus on “an impressive array of younger candidates” who share Trump’s conservative agenda, according to extracts from his book. However, the former attorney general didn’t reveal the names of specific candidates....
