Rep. Briscoe Cain was reacting to O’Rourke’s statement that he would push for a ban on the possession of certain military-style rifles used in mass shootings in Texas, including in his home town of El Paso, which left 22 people dead, and Odessa and Midland, which killed eight. In his opening remarks during the Democrat debate on Thursday night in Houston, O’Rourke said that the El Paso victims were killed and injured by a man carrying a weapon “he should never been able to buy in the first place,” and who had “been inspired to kill by our president....

Haley, who previously served as the governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, worked for one year as Trump’s top diplomat to the U.N. from January 2017 to 2018.

The president has also often spoken favorably of Haley. “We all owe @realDonaldTrump for his leadership of conservative victories for Senate, House, & state legislatures. He and the American people deserve transparency & fairness as the votes are counted....

Speaking to a group of reporters, Stern said representatives for Flynn approached him through his Patriot Caucus group earlier this year with the objective to influence lawmakers to support election audits in favor of former President Donald Trump. “They wanted to gather intelligence on senators, judges, congressmen, state reps, to move them towards the audit. The word ‘move’ was emphasized tremendously,” Stern said. “What they wanted was to extort and to literally move people towards the audit with dirt....

Loeffler faces stiff election competition from both sides of the aisle. Republican Representative Doug Collins, who was part of President Donald Trump’s support team during the January impeachment hearings, is also in contention for the seat. Both Loeffler and Collins are in a close race with Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock, who is engaged in his first political campaign. Loeffler’s campaign said that on Thursday, “conservative businesswoman and political outsider Kelly Loeffler will be joined by future Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for a major announcement in Paulding County....

Some of the restrictions being considered are the lack of press access to senators and the prohibition of electronic devices inside the Senate during the trial. “There’s an effort to limit the press,” Kennedy told reporters on Wednesday. “I’m going to vote against that if I’m allowed to vote.

The call took place just hours after Trump agreed to lift sanctions he had imposed on Turkey in response to its invasion of Syria. The Turkish operation has been widely condemned by Western nations. Hundreds have been killed and hundreds of thousands forced from their homes. The invasion—and the documented war crimes committed by Turkish forces and their proxy Syrian militias—have raised concerns that Ankara is planning to ethnically cleanse the area of its Kurdish population....

Steineke, the majority leader of the Wisconsin State Assembly, took to Twitter on Tuesday to condemn the report, which states that Wisconsin should “take a very hard look at the option of decertification of the 2020” presidential election, something that has received backlash from both Democrats and Republicans, according to the Associated Press. “Still not legal under Wisconsin law. Beyond that, it would have no practical impact b/c there is no Constitutional way to remove a sitting president other than through impeachment or incapacity....

Johnson has backed Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud, but according to Mark Becker—a former Brown County supervisor and former chairman of the Republican Party there—the senator told him privately on a call three weeks ago that he accepted Biden’s victory. “My discussion with Senator Ron Johnson was one that I have hesitated openly discussing for three weeks. As a former chairman for the Brown County Republican Party, I have people I respect deeply who are still members of the party,” Becker wrote in an article for conservative news site The Bulwark....

Gordon Elliott laid down the gauntlet to title rival Willie Mullins after enjoying a staggering six-timer at Navan. The Cullentra handler began the afternoon almost 400,000 euros clear of perennial champion Mullins, albeit having saddled over 400 more runners since the season began. That lead was extended as Elliott incredibly claimed six of the seven races at his local track at combined of odds of almost 41, 277-1. Paddy Power reacted by cutting Elliott to 6-4 from 2-1 to be crowned Ireland’s champion National Hunt trainer for the first time, easing Mullins to 1-2 from 1-3....

Well, the tablet-side of Android is finally getting some love from Google, as many of the company’s productivity apps are receiving fairly substantial overhauls for those who prefer to work with larger screens. First up, Docs, Sheets, and Drive will get updates to support drag and drop, so you can pull texts and images from one app to another, helping to sustain a single ecosystem across all software. Google is beefing up Drive even further, adding the option to open up two files side by side....

Google Nexus 5: While the Nexus smartphone has been known to be Google’s flagship offering, this year’s Nexus 5 may lose that tag. With the success of the Nexus 4, Google may be looking at offering the Nexus 5 as a smaller, cheaper smartphone to the price-conscious consumer. To keep the costs low, the Nexus 5 could feature a 4.5-inch 720p display and extremely thin bezels. But yes, in all other aspects, it will be just as powerful as other popular smartphones....

Price and where to buy Over in the states, you can head to the official Google store and get it for $499. So the Pixel 3 is now only £100/$100 more than the budget-friendly Pixel 3a. The Pixel 4 is £669/ $799. We think that’s an excellent deal for what is still a great phone. Check out the best Pixel 3 deals.

The report claims the Pixel 4a will be something of a Goldilocks phone, with a 2340 x 1080 5.8in display that’s up from the 3a’s 5.6in and down from the 3a XL’s 6in. To only have one mid-range Pixel makes sense to us. The 4a will have the Snapdragon 730 chip, an upgrade from the 670 found in the 3a series. It’ll have an 8Mp front camera with cut out in the left top corner that eschews premium features like face unlock and 3D biometrics of the Pixel 4 to keep the price down....
