Environmental groups are calling on the remaining manufacturers that still oppose California’s ability to set its own stricter emissions standards to end their opposition....
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, and House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California, appeared on the Sunday morning talk shows to continue to push their demands, as House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, has thus far declined to transfer the articles of impeachment against Trump to the Senate. “I don’t think it’s going to be indefinitely,” Schiff told CNN host Jake Tapper on State of the Union, after he was asked how long Pelosi planned to hold the articles....

To start, Religion gets a lot of attention in this new Civilization 6 update, as a myriad of beliefs have been changed and two new ones have even been added.
