Top Republicans ranging from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy rebuked Trump’s Thursday tweet calling to “Delay the Election.” The GOP leaders agreed Trump should highlight concerns over potential voter fraud, but McConnell told Kentucky’s WNKY-TV that “never in the history of this country” had a federal election not occurred on its scheduled date. McConnell and Texas GOP Representative Michael Burgess reminded Trump Americans have voted during far more deadly crises throughout history — and that he doesn’t have the constitutional authority to delay the November 3 election....

The Louisiana senator–who earlier this year introduced the CONFUCIUS Act aimed at reducing Chinese influence on U.S. campuses–said in a Fox News interview Sunday that he is drafting legislation to prevent U.S. companies from conducting business in China. He agreed with U.S. Attorney General William Barr’s comments last week that U.S. companies routinely agree to censor films and conduct business under the authoritarian rules of the Chinese Communist Party....

Remembrances of Gorbachev poured in following news that the last leader of the Soviet Union died Tuesday at age 91. Gorbachev sought better ties with the West and more economic and political freedom in the Soviet Union, eventually seeing its dissolution in 1991. The world leader’s legacy is being given a fresh look as tensions between Russia and the West have returned. After serving as general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party, Gorbachev became the first and only president of the Soviet Union in March 1990....

On Friday, one of the most encouraging updates was released by the Players Tribune. The 27-year-old is seen going through an intense amount of shooting drills, looking to get back into playing shape. “We haven’t pushed it that hard in a while,” the trainer shouts at the Celtics star in the video. “Just ramping up again. You got a lot of ball handling, a lot of shooting. We just gotta keep building it up....

If you have seen an episode of Kitchen Nightmares or Hell’s Kitchen, you will know that the famed chef does not take lightly to being served lackluster grub—and this is not just limited to restaurant food. In a set of recent TikTok videos, shared on April 18, Ramsay decided to surprise some fast-food workers at a drive-thru in the U.K., by reviewing their bacon sandwich. In the first installment of the prank, which has been viewed on the app over 20....

A 10-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy did nothing to change Gordon’s unique ability to make a huge impact in any game against any opponent under any circumstance. The Browns (7-4) stayed in the AFC North race during Gordon’s absence. His return now strengthens their position with games at Buffalo, home against Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and at Carolina and Baltimore remaining. Quarterback Brian Hoyer not only now has a true No....

And it was. He made sure of that. Twenty-one years after winning the inaugural Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Gordon won the prestigious NASCAR race for a record fifth time. The victory broke a tie with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson among Cup race winners. Gordon is now tied with Formula One legend Michael Schumacher as the winningest driver in the 105-year history of the famed track. Three IndyCar drivers won four times....

The 22-year-old has repeatedly been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena and it was reported in Germany on Wednesday that the deal will go through once his contract with Schalke expires at the end of the 2017-18 campaign. Nevertheless, Goretzka has dismissed claims his move to Bayern is a done deal, stressing no decision about his future has been made. “I want to give a brief response to the latest reports in the press,” Goretzka wrote on his official Facebook account....

Earlier in March Google Duo increased video callers from 8 to 12 and now 32. To highlight new features, the company has started sending out email promotions, as shown below: Google is not the only company making changes; there are others too. Facebook added Messenger Rooms and WhatsApp increased the number of persons you can add to video calls, i.e. 8. Yet Google Duo remains Google Duo, and its new features are attracting many users....

Google is rolling out continuous scrolling for mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, according to a company blog post. The update will work for both standard web searches and on Google’s dedicated smartphone app across both major smartphone platforms—Android and iOS. Here’s how it works. Opening a Google search brings up a page of results, as usual, but instead of a “see more” prompt at the bottom of the page, new results will keep loading as you scroll down....

Looks like the world can’t wait to see what new offerings Google has lined up for us. Just a few more hours to go until Google’s official announcement, but images of the Nexus 4, rumored to be unveiled tomorrow, have surfaced yet again on the internet. Google is expected to make an announcement about the new LG Nexus 4 smartphone during their October 29 event, which unfortunately had to be canceled due to Hurricane Sandy hitting the US East Coast....

iPhone 5C or the Google Nexus 5- Why will be your best bet? After months of speculations and rumors, Google is all set to grab all the limelight, either in the online domain or physically. It will soon be announcing at least one new brand for the Nexus series, the Nexus 5. The Nexus 5 will be assembled by LG. Needless to say, the Nexus 5 will be replacing the Nexus 4....

Here’s all we know so far about the model that could be the benchmark for mid-range Android phones in 2023. When will the Google Pixel 7a be released? We don’t have an official release date for the Google Pixel 7a at the time of writing, but the company usually releases its a-series of Pixels in the summer, often after unveiling them at its annual I/O conference. That’s exactly what has been predicted for the 7a in an alleged internal Pixel product roadmap that was obtained by Android Authority and projects that the phone will release “around Google I/O in April or May....

The Google Play Store can be found on most of the best smartphones (opens in new tab) and best tablets (opens in new tab) around. Basically, if it’s not an iPhone or Huawei, it’s probably got the Play Store installed. The new ’teacher approved’ feature is displayed in the Play Store by a clearly-displayed badge, and will appear across the US in the coming days. The feature will also roll out internationally in the months to come....

For a phone that is marketed on the prowess of its cameras, its an odd choice for Google to make. It means that the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are some of the only flagship phones in 2019 that can’t shoot 4K at 60fps – instead the options max out at 4K at 30fps. The iPhone 11, Galaxy S10 and many other smartphones can shoot at the higher frame rate....

The new Buds are available for preorder with a June 17 release, and come in olive green or white. While the Pixel Buds A-Series offer the same crisp sound quality as the 2020 Pixel Buds model, The Verge reports that they have an overall louder volume level. Google also kept features from the original Pixel Buds like hands-free Google voice commands and the IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance, as well as a five-hour listening time on a full charge....

Right now, the standard battle royale match typically consists of 100 players, with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite sticking to that number. Other battle royale games have experimented with different numbers, like Apex Legends’ 60 players, and the upcoming Battlefield 5 Firestorm battle royale mode’s 64 player total. With current-gen hardware, it doesn’t seem possible for battle royale games to hit 1,000 players, which drives home the point of just how powerful Stadia is....

It is reported that a group of Republicans has discussed setting up a new center right anti-Trump political party. And while former President Donald Trump has pledged to support Republicans in 2022, and even been tipped as a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate should he still be eligible, there has been prior speculation surrounding him setting up an offshoot political party of his own. His adviser Jason Miller previously said there were no active plans outside of backing the GOP but said it is “completely up to Republican Senators” if such plans advance, speaking ahead of the president’s second Senate impeachment trial....

Riggleman is among the few Republicans who have acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden’s victory over Trump. Most media outlets called the election for the Democrat, who has secured 306 Electoral College votes, over two weeks ago, but Trump has refused to concede. In an interview with Forbes, Riggleman condemned his fellow Republicans for remaining quiet amid Trump’s attempts to cast doubt on the election process by claiming a “rigged” and “stolen” election....

Collins, who was part of President Donald Trump’s support team during Trump’s impeachment trial in January, has been outspoken about his pro-life views. With Ginsburg’s passing, the U.S. Supreme Court has a vacant seat which could be filled by one of Trump’s nominees. Conservatives currently hold a majority in the Supreme Court. Collin’s tweet expressed a hope that the next Supreme Court Justice would be against abortion. “RIP to the more than 30 million innocent babies that have been murdered during the decades that Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended pro-abortion laws,” Collins tweeted....
