The criticism was particularly focused on the fact that Hawley was the first Republican senator who pledged to oppose the January 6 congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win. His vote seemed to support Trump’s repeatedly debunked assertion that the election had been “stolen” by widespread voter fraud. However, Hawley has said he chose to sit in the gallery because it was less “claustrophobic” than the crowded Senate floor and because it gave him a better view of the impeachment managers....

In what appears to be a last-ditch effort to rake in some cash before moving it out to pasture, Capcom has joined forces with Valve to create some additional content for the upcoming PC release. In an ironic twist, Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2, which is all about zombies, will be adding content from their game to a series that has been steadily steering itself away from zombies. Since the PC edition of Resident Evil 6 will be released on Steam, it’s safe to assume Valve just wanted to help drum up some business - perhaps even taking pity on the former kings of survival horror - while getting a little attention for their own title....
