On January 11, Microsoft Corp. put out a blog post declaring that Xbox is now the “first carbon aware console,” explaining that a new algorithm will allow the video game machine to download updates during times that it can use the most renewable energy possible."
U.S. Senator (TX) Ted Cruz's response. “First gas stoves, then your coffee, now they're gunning for your Xbox,” wrote the Republican Texas Senator on Twitter Monday, linking an article from conservative news site The Blaze declaring, inaccurately, that “Xbox will force gamers to power down to fight climate change."

They're promoting weed to your children but they're not letting you use tobacco, or even non-tobacco nicotine devices, which don't cause cancer."
U.S. Rep. Corey Mills from Florida, "Welcoming you to a mission-oriented 118th Congress," while gifting to his congressional colleagues an "an inert, 40MM hand grenade produced in Florida that is designed for use in the MK19 grenade launcher."
