It would separate the particular product from the company’s central cloud computing systems and network infrastructure. Moreover, it allowed third-party companies and governments to oversee data moving through without fear.

The Google cloud project for China, Isolated Region aimed to expand the company’s cloud computing services in nations where the governments usually require a government-controlled entity as a business partner....

Hogan has frequently criticized Trump, particularly amid the president’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in the wake of the January 6 insurrection against the federal government. The Maryland governor called out GOP lawmakers who have defended and downplayed the violent actions of the former president’s supporters during an episode of CBS News’ The Takeout podcast published on Friday. “We have to get to the bottom of exactly what happened [on January 6]....

Delivering the speech in Warsaw, the president said: “We will have a different future—a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle; hope and light, decency and dignity; of freedom of possibilities. For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.” After the speech, the White House immediately moved to walk back the comments and clarify that Biden was not calling for a regime change. However, his remarks still came under fire from members of the GOP this weekend....

Texas was the only state in the country to be awarded two new congressional districts in the 2020 Census. The draft map, proposed by the Republican-controlled State Senate redistricting committee (led by State Senator Joan Huffman), appeared to benefit the Republican party by helping it hold on to its 23 out of 36 current seats and as well as gaining two additional seats. As noted by FiveThirtyEight, the first draft of the new congressional map for 38 seats in Texas means there would only be only one congressional district in the state—the 15th Congressional District in South Texas, currently held by Democrat Vicente Gonzalez—where the margin between Joe Biden and Donald Trump voters in 2020 was less than five percentage points....

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell offered a glimpse of the GOP plan on Monday, saying on the Senate floor that it will focus on “kids, jobs and health care.” To that end, Republicans plan to allocate $105 billion for educators, resources for coronavirus vaccine and therapeutic development, support for hospitals and protections for seniors from premium spikes. “This majority will be laying down another historic proposal very soon,” McConnell said....

The Democrat-led House voted in mid-December to approve two articles of impeachment—abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—against Trump. At the heart of the impeachment proceedings, launched by Speaker Nancy Pelosi in September, is a July phone call between the U.S. leader and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which Trump asked his foreign counterpart to investigate the Bidens. When asked by George Stephanopoulos on ABC News’ This Week whether Trump’s conduct in relation to the Ukraine scandal amounted to an impeachable offense, Shelby said: “Well, I don’t know that has actually been proven....

A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday showed Ernst with a narrow 2 percent lead over Greenfield, 48 percent to 46 percent. Another 4 percent did not answer, while 1 percent said they would vote for someone else. The poll was conducted among 1,225 likely Iowa voters between October 23 and October 27, with Ernst’s lead coming within a 2.8 percent margin of error. “Iowans know there’s only one candidate in this race they can trust,” Republican Party of Iowa spokesman Aaron Britt told Newsweek in a statement....

On Thursday, Toomey threatened to blow up coronavirus stimulus legislation by demanding that the bill remove authorization for the Federal Reserve programs designed to provide low interest loans to small businesses and governments. Toomey criticized the programs for moving the central bank from a lender of “last resort” to a lender of “first resort”—and he is pushing for proposed language in the final bill that would compel the Fed to wind down programs designed to help struggling small businesses, states and municipalities....

Graham announced the new federal legislation proposal on Tuesday, which would allow no abortion “on demand” after 15 weeks except in the cases of rape, incest, or if the mother’s life is at risk. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, host Jake Tapper asked Rounds whether he supports Graham’s bill. “No, I think right now we should allow the states to explore the different possibilities about the appropriate way,” he said....

The Republican senator lived up to his strict law and order reputation in social media posts Monday demanding “zero tolerance” for demonstrations that have caused destruction and brought violence in cities across the country. The Army veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts is commonly characterized as hawkish even among members of his own party. On Monday, he called on President Donald Trump to use the Insurrection Act to help local police quell street protests....

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to impose the no-fly zone over Ukraine amid the continuing Russian invasion. However, NATO countries have resisted over concerns that engaging directly with Russia would escalate tensions, potentially leading to a more large-scale conflict. Ernst, an Iowa Republican, acknowledged she is “thankful” that Zelensky is making the request, as “that’s what he should do” as the president of Ukraine—but said the U....

Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of the conservative online magazine The Federalist, called Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney’s support for the allegedly “soft-on-pedos” Jackson “super interesting” in a Monday tweet. The comment came as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, claimed that Romney and other GOP senators backing Jackson were “pro-pedophile.” “The only new info since he voted against her a few months ago was increased awareness of her ‘soft-on-pedos’ approach, which makes this new Romney position super interesting,” Hemingway wrote on Twitter in response to Romney’s tweet announcing he would vote to confirm Jackson, noting that the senator had not voted to confirm the judge to the U....
