The majority of Republicans in Congress have aligned themselves with former President Donald Trump and his lies about the 2020 election. Meanwhile, some GOP lawmakers have downplayed the violent assault on the Capitol, with Representative Andrew Clyde, a Georgia Republican, saying the riot looked like a “normal tourist visit” last Wednesday. Upton was asked to respond to his colleagues’ efforts to rewrite history in a Sunday interview with CNN....

Trump announced his intention to fire State Department Inspector General Steve Linick Friday, a move expected to go into effect within the next 30 days, but did not explain why he made the decision. Grassley said the Senate is also still waiting for an explanation for the firing of Inspector General Michael Atkinson, which happened in April. Grassley’s letter referred to Inspectors General as “the ultimate swamp drainers” as their positions call for the detection of waste and malfeasance in a non-partisan fashion....

As the stimulus deadlock continues, President Donald Trump reiterated his push for further relief on Tuesday. “STIMULUS! Go big or go home!!!” he tweeted. Graham said he was aligned with the president “in terms of big.” “I think the bigger the package, as long as it’s smart,” the senator told reporters on Friday. The Republican criticized the latest $2.2 trillion House proposal for including provisions that did not address the coronavirus pandemic....

A new CBS News/YouGov poll of Republican voters shows that 35 percent believe loyalty toward Trump is “very important” moving forward, followed by 30 percent who described it as “somewhat important.” Eighty-one percent of those surveyed said they prefer GOP candidates who have similar policies and proposals to those of Trump. Sixty-six percent prefer candidates with the same view on the 2020 election. There is some disparity among the GOP base, differentiated between mainstream Republicans and “MAGA” voters....

After missing much of his first two seasons in New Orleans with a nagging right knee injury, Gordon has played in 40 of New Orleans' 43 games this season, demonstrating a reliability previously unseen since he recieved a four-year, $58 million contract in July 2012. Gordon has averaged nearly 16 points per game. Two games ago, he helped the Pelicans pull out a comeback victory in Detroit, hitting a clutch 3-pointer inside the final four minutes and later spinning into the lane to sink a game-winning floater in the final seconds....

With stalled vaccinations and the Delta variant spreading, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its recommendations to advise that everyone wear masks in areas where there is high or substantial transmission. The altered guidance prompted criticism from some governors who banned masks in their states, but governors in Louisiana and Nevada took the CDC’s advice and reinstated mask requirements. Louisiana leads in COVID-19 infections, according to the CDC, and on Tuesday, Governor John Bel Edwards put in place another statewide mask mandate....

Graham filed an emergency request to the Court on Friday, one day after a panel from the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously rejected his effort to block a subpoena from a Georgia grand jury. Prosecutors are hoping to question the Republican senator about a phone call he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger weeks after the 2020 election, when he allegedly asked about rejecting some of the state’s absentee ballots to help former President Donald Trump reverse his loss....

The heart of the problem with Gran Turismo 7’s monetization comes down to two key issues. First, Gran Turismo 7 no longer allows direct purchases of vehicles. That means that instead of a specific dollar amount for vehicles, they now have ambiguous costs in “Credits.” Credits are only available in lump sums, costing $2.49, $4.99, $9.99, and $19.99. That means Gran Turismo 7 players will have to overspend on Credits to acquire vehicles with price tags that don’t align to real money pricing on Credits....

Initially launched earlier this year, Gran Turismo 7 has since released a handful of free content updates, as well as a slew of quality-of-life improvements. Since the first update in April, each content pack has included 3 new cars, along with a variety of other additions like new modes, new race series, alternate track layouts, and one entirely new track: the Watkins Glen International. The second update, in May, also added three new post-game menu books, those being bite-sized chunks of the game’s campaign....

Since Grand Theft Auto 3, Rockstar has put in a lot of effort into getting licensed songs to use for a huge selection of radio stations. Grand Theft Auto 5 continued this by adding sixteen unique radio stations with over 400 songs to choose from. Throughout the game’s long life cycle, Rockstar has continued to update the music by adding multiple songs and even entirely new radio stations for players to listen to as they explore the city of Los Santos....

There have also been some pretty stellar in-game creations inspired by other intellectual properties, such as the Iron Man Hulkbuster mod, or the Mass Effect mod that changes the blimps hovering over the city into the sci-fi RPG’s giant Reapers. Now, one ardent fan has gone above and beyond by putting together a shot-for-shot recreation of True Detective’s intro using elements of Grand Theft Auto 5. Using a blend of Grand Theft Auto 5’s PC version of the Rockstar Editor and Adobe After Effects for compositing, a YouTuber with the handle “llachlan” has definitely crafted an impressive homage to Nic Pizzolatto’s cult-hit HBO crime drama....

As seen in the video below courtesy of the YouTube channel Modded Games, Grand Theft Auto 5 becomes even more chaotic once Rick Sanchez hits the streets. For instance, the alcoholic scientist not only has his wanted level reach the maximum cap to take on the city’s entire police force, but also he cruises around in his spaceship while hitting up the game’s exotic dance clubs, all while espousing most, if not all of his ridiculous catch-phrases....

The game’s developer was recently in the news following a hacking incident, which led Rockstar Games to block social media replies. The hack revealed early footage of the studio’s upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, while also revealing the names of two main characters, Jason and Lucia. The intent of the Cameo video starring Ogg was to warn GTA 6’s characters about the dangers of Vice City in the upcoming sandbox game....

One way Grand Theft Auto 6 is likely to do this is to follow one key element of GTA 5: multiple protagonists. While everyone has their favorites, there’s no doubt the unique and complex story that introduces Franklin, Micheal, and Trevor to players has a Rockstar-unique approach to story telling. RELATED: Grand Theft Auto 5 Becomes Most Profitable Entertainment Product of All Time Why It Worked in GTA 5 (and Where We’ve Seen it Before) Grand Theft Auto 5 bringing in three protagonists to the main story instead of the one found in the series thus far was a real-game changer, and it allowed the game to capture the best of its predecessors....
