– B ob ▁D ole , ▁Jerry ▁Mor an ▁and ▁Roberts . ▁Due ▁to ▁its ▁vast ▁size ▁( it ▁covers ▁half ▁the ▁state ' s ▁land mass , ▁two ▁time ▁zones ▁and ▁three ▁television ▁markets ), ▁the ▁ 1 st ' s ▁congress man ▁is ▁usually ▁reck oned ▁as ▁a ▁state wide ▁political ▁figure . ▁In ▁April ▁ 2 0 2 0 , ▁Kansas ▁G OP ▁chairman , ▁Mike ▁K uk el man , ▁fear ing ▁a ▁K ris ▁K ob ach ▁victory ▁in ▁the ▁primary , ▁wrote ▁to ▁state ▁Senate ▁President ▁Susan ▁W agle , ▁also ▁a ▁candidate ▁for ▁Roberts ▁seat , ▁asking ▁her ▁to ▁drop ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁race . ▁W agle ▁also ▁said ▁she ▁got ▁a ▁phone ▁call ▁from ▁K uk el man : ▁" He ▁ad am antly ▁asked ▁me ▁to ▁walk ▁away ." ▁ ▁Political ▁positions ▁ ▁Environment ▁ ▁Marshall ▁has ▁critic ized ▁the ▁Environmental ▁Protection ▁Agency ▁and ▁supports ▁reducing ▁its ▁authority . ▁Marshall ▁supports ▁the ▁federal ▁Ren ew able ▁F uel ▁Standard , ▁which ▁requires ▁corn - based ▁eth an ol ▁to ▁be ▁bl ended ▁with ▁gas oline ; ▁corn ▁is ▁produced ▁in ▁Marshall ' s ▁district . ▁ ▁Health ▁care ▁Marshall ▁supports ▁repe aling ▁the ▁Aff ord able ▁Care ▁Act ▁( Ob am ac are ). ▁Like ▁many ▁other ▁Republicans ▁who ▁want ▁the ▁" health ▁care ▁system ▁to ▁rely ▁on ▁the ▁free ▁market ▁rather ▁than ▁Ob am ac are ' s ▁regulations ", ▁Marshall ▁" me asures ▁success ▁in ▁how ▁many ▁people ▁can ▁afford ▁to ▁leave
▁the ▁Med ica id ▁program ▁and ▁enter ▁the ▁private ▁insurance ▁market ." ▁In ▁oppos ing ▁the ▁Act ' s ▁Med ica id ▁expansion , ▁Marshall ▁said ▁in ▁an ▁interview ▁in ▁March ▁ 2 0 1 7 , ▁" Just , ▁like , ▁homeless ▁people ... ▁I ▁think ▁just ▁mor ally , ▁spirit ually , ▁soc ially , ▁( some ▁people ) ▁just ▁don ' t ▁want ▁health ▁care . ▁The ▁Med ica id ▁population , ▁which ▁is ▁[ on ] ▁a ▁free ▁credit ▁card , ▁as ▁a ▁group , ▁do ▁probably ▁the ▁least ▁prevent ive ▁medicine ▁and ▁taking ▁care ▁of ▁themselves ▁and ▁eating ▁healthy ▁and ▁exerc ising . ▁And ▁I ' m ▁not ▁jud ging , ▁I ' m ▁just ▁saying ▁soc ially ▁that ' s ▁where ▁they ▁are . ▁So ▁there ' s ▁a ▁group ▁of ▁people ▁that ▁even ▁with ▁un limited ▁access ▁to ▁health ▁care ▁are ▁only ▁going ▁to ▁use ▁the ▁emergency ▁room ▁when ▁their ▁arm ▁is ▁chopped ▁off ▁or ▁when ▁their ▁p neum onia ▁is ▁so ▁bad ▁they ▁get ▁brought ▁[ into ] ▁the ▁ER ." ▁Those ▁who ▁support ▁Med ica id , ▁say ▁that ▁Marshall ▁did ▁not ▁understand ▁how ▁Kansas ▁Med ica id ▁operates . ▁The ▁program ▁provides ▁" med ical ▁coverage ▁for ▁low - inc ome ▁families ▁and ▁disabled ▁K ans ans ". ▁Marshall ' s ▁remark ▁attracted ▁widespread ▁attention ▁and ▁criticism . ▁ ▁Marshall ▁voted ▁in ▁favor ▁of ▁the ▁American ▁Health ▁Care ▁Act ▁of ▁ 2 0 1 7 ▁which ▁would ▁have ▁repe aled ▁and ▁replaced ▁the
▁Aff ord able ▁Care ▁Act . ▁ ▁Econom y ▁ ▁Marshall , ▁who ▁represents ▁a ▁rural ▁district , ▁supports ▁farm ▁subs id ies , ▁such ▁as ▁federal ▁crop ▁insurance . ▁Marshall ' s ▁support ▁for ▁subs id ies ▁gained ▁him ▁the ▁ 2 0 1 6 ▁endorse ment ▁of ▁the ▁Kansas ▁Farm ▁Bureau ▁( K FB ) ▁in ▁the ▁Republican ▁primary , ▁in ▁which ▁he ▁prev ailed ▁over ▁Represent ative ▁Tim ▁Hu els kamp . ▁The ▁K FB ▁opposed ▁Hu els kamp ' s ▁own ▁opposition ▁to ▁some ▁farm ▁subs id ies . ▁ ▁In ▁December ▁ 2 0 1 7 , ▁Marshall ▁voted ▁in ▁support ▁of ▁the ▁Tax ▁C uts ▁and ▁J obs ▁Act ▁of ▁ 2 0 1 7 . ▁ ▁Imm igration ▁ ▁Marshall ▁supported ▁President ▁Donald ▁Trump ' s ▁Executive ▁Order ▁ 1 3 7 6 9 , ▁which ▁bar red ▁the ▁nation als ▁of ▁seven ▁Muslim - major ity ▁nations ▁from ▁entering ▁the ▁United ▁States . ▁However , ▁Marshall ▁supports ▁an ▁immigration ▁bill ▁with ▁a ▁path way ▁to ▁citizens hip ▁for ▁people ▁not ▁living ▁in ▁the ▁US ▁legally ; ▁such ▁legislation ▁is ▁supported ▁by ▁the ▁agriculture ▁lobby , ▁which ▁is ▁powerful ▁in ▁Marshall ' s ▁district . ▁ ▁Ab ortion ▁Marshall ▁is ▁anti - ab ortion . ▁ ▁Cann ab is ▁ ▁Marshall ▁is ▁not ▁" con vin ced " ▁that ▁medical ▁marijuana ▁is ▁safe ▁and ▁provides ▁medic inal ▁benefits . ▁In ▁early ▁ 2 0 1 7 , ▁he ▁stated ▁" I ' m ▁not ▁convinced ▁yet

▁end ▁of ▁ 2 0 0 6 . ▁It ▁was ▁the ▁first ▁console ▁to ▁use ▁Bl u - ray ▁Disc ▁as ▁its ▁primary ▁storage ▁medium . ▁The ▁console ▁was ▁the ▁first ▁Play Station ▁to ▁integrate ▁social ▁gaming ▁services , ▁including ▁the ▁Play Station ▁Network , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁the ▁first ▁to ▁be ▁cont roll able ▁from ▁a ▁hand held ▁console , ▁through ▁its ▁remote ▁connect ivity ▁with ▁Play Station ▁Port able ▁and ▁Play Station ▁V ita . ▁In ▁September ▁ 2 0 0 9 , ▁the ▁S lim ▁model ▁of ▁the ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁was ▁released . ▁It ▁no ▁longer ▁provided ▁the ▁hardware ▁ability ▁to ▁run ▁PS 2 ▁games . ▁It ▁was ▁lighter ▁and ▁th inner ▁than ▁the ▁original ▁version , ▁and ▁featured ▁a ▁re des igned ▁logo ▁and ▁marketing ▁design , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁a ▁minor ▁start - up ▁change ▁in ▁software . ▁A ▁Super ▁S lim ▁variation ▁was ▁then ▁released ▁in ▁late ▁ 2 0 1 2 , ▁further ▁ref ining ▁and ▁re design ing ▁the ▁console . ▁ ▁During ▁its ▁early ▁years , ▁the ▁system ▁was ▁neg atively ▁received , ▁due ▁to ▁its ▁high ▁price ▁($ 5 9 9 ▁for ▁a ▁ 6 0 ▁gig aby te ▁model , ▁$ 4 9 9 ▁for ▁a ▁ 2 0 ▁GB ▁model ), ▁a ▁complex ▁processor ▁architecture , ▁and ▁lack ▁of ▁quality ▁games ▁but ▁was ▁praised ▁for ▁its ▁Bl u - ray ▁capabilities ▁and ▁" unt apped ▁potential ". ▁The ▁reception ▁would ▁get ▁more ▁positive ▁over ▁time . ▁The ▁system ▁had
▁a ▁slow ▁start ▁in ▁the ▁market ▁but ▁managed ▁to ▁recover , ▁particularly ▁after ▁the ▁introduction ▁of ▁the ▁S lim ▁model . ▁Its ▁success or , ▁the ▁Play Station ▁ 4 , ▁was ▁released ▁later ▁in ▁November ▁ 2 0 1 3 . ▁On ▁September ▁ 2 9 , ▁ 2 0 1 5 , ▁Sony ▁confirmed ▁that ▁sales ▁of ▁the ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁were ▁to ▁be ▁dis contin ued ▁in ▁New ▁Zealand , ▁but ▁the ▁system ▁remained ▁in ▁production ▁in ▁other ▁markets . ▁Ship ments ▁of ▁new ▁units ▁to ▁Europe ▁and ▁Australia ▁ended ▁in ▁March ▁ 2 0 1 6 , ▁followed ▁by ▁North ▁America ▁which ▁ended ▁in ▁October ▁ 2 0 1 6 . ▁He ading ▁into ▁ 2 0 1 7 , ▁Japan ▁was ▁the ▁last ▁territory ▁where ▁new ▁units ▁were ▁still ▁being ▁produced ▁until ▁May ▁ 2 9 , ▁ 2 0 1 7 , ▁when ▁Sony ▁confirmed ▁the ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁was ▁dis contin ued ▁in ▁Japan . ▁ ▁History ▁The ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁began ▁development ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 1 ▁when ▁Ken ▁K ut ar agi , ▁then ▁the ▁President ▁of ▁Sony ▁Computer ▁Entertainment , ▁announced ▁that ▁Sony , ▁T os hib a , ▁and ▁IBM ▁would ▁collabor ate ▁on ▁developing ▁the ▁Cell ▁micro processor . ▁At ▁the ▁time , ▁Sh u he i ▁Y osh ida ▁led ▁a ▁group ▁of ▁program mers ▁within ▁this ▁hardware ▁team ▁to ▁explore ▁next - gener ation ▁game ▁creation . ▁By ▁early ▁ 2 0 0 5 ,
▁focus ▁within ▁Sony ▁shifted ▁towards ▁developing ▁PS 3 ▁launch ▁titles . ▁Sony ▁officially ▁un ve iled ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁to ▁the ▁public ▁on ▁May ▁ 1 6 , ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁at ▁E 3 ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁along ▁with ▁a ▁bo omer ang - shaped ▁prototype ▁design ▁of ▁the ▁Six axis ▁controller . ▁A ▁functional ▁version ▁of ▁the ▁system ▁was ▁not ▁present ▁there , ▁ ▁nor ▁at ▁the ▁Tokyo ▁Game ▁Show ▁in ▁September ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁although ▁demonstr ations ▁( such ▁as ▁Metal ▁G ear ▁Sol id ▁ 4 : ▁G uns ▁of ▁the ▁Patri ots ) ▁were ▁held ▁at ▁both ▁events ▁on ▁software ▁development ▁k its ▁and ▁comparable ▁personal ▁computer ▁hardware . ▁Video ▁footage ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁predicted ▁Play Station   3 ▁specific ations ▁was ▁also ▁shown ▁( not ably ▁a ▁Final ▁Fant asy ▁VII ▁tech ▁demo ). ▁ ▁The ▁initial ▁prototype ▁shown ▁in ▁May ▁ 2 0 0 5 ▁featured ▁two ▁HD MI ▁ports , ▁three ▁E ther net ▁ports ▁and ▁six ▁USB ▁ports ; ▁however , ▁when ▁the ▁system ▁was ▁shown ▁again ▁a ▁year ▁later ▁at ▁E 3 ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁these ▁were ▁reduced ▁to ▁one ▁HD MI ▁port , ▁one ▁E ther net ▁port ▁and ▁four ▁USB ▁ports , ▁presumably ▁to ▁cut ▁costs . ▁Two ▁hardware ▁configurations ▁were ▁also ▁announced ▁for ▁the ▁console : ▁a ▁ 2 0   GB ▁model ▁and ▁a ▁ 6 0   GB ▁model , ▁pr iced ▁at ▁US $ 4
9 9 ▁( € 4 9 9 ) ▁and ▁US $ 5 9 9 ▁( € 5 9 9 ), ▁respectively . ▁The ▁ 6 0   GB ▁model ▁was ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁only ▁configuration ▁to ▁feature ▁an ▁HD MI ▁port , ▁Wi - Fi ▁internet , ▁flash ▁card ▁readers ▁and ▁a ▁ch rome ▁trim ▁with ▁the ▁logo ▁in ▁silver . ▁Both ▁models ▁were ▁announced ▁for ▁a ▁simultane ous ▁worldwide ▁release : ▁November ▁ 1 1 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁for ▁Japan ▁and ▁November ▁ 1 7 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁for ▁North ▁America ▁and ▁Europe . ▁ ▁On ▁September ▁ 6 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁Sony ▁announced ▁that ▁P AL ▁region ▁Play Station   3 ▁launch ▁would ▁be ▁delayed ▁until ▁March ▁ 2 0 0 7 , ▁because ▁of ▁a ▁short age ▁of ▁materials ▁used ▁in ▁the ▁Bl u - ray ▁drive . ▁At ▁the ▁Tokyo ▁Game ▁Show ▁on ▁September ▁ 2 2 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁Sony ▁announced ▁that ▁it ▁would ▁include ▁an ▁HD MI ▁port ▁on ▁the ▁ 2 0   GB ▁system , ▁but ▁a ▁ch rome ▁trim , ▁flash ▁card ▁readers , ▁silver ▁logo ▁and ▁Wi - Fi ▁would ▁not ▁be ▁included . ▁Also , ▁the ▁launch ▁price ▁of ▁the ▁Japanese ▁ 2 0   GB ▁model ▁was ▁reduced ▁by ▁over ▁ 2 0 %, ▁and ▁the ▁ 6 0   GB ▁model ▁was ▁announced ▁for ▁an ▁open ▁pricing ▁scheme ▁in ▁Japan . ▁During ▁the ▁event
, ▁Sony ▁showed ▁ 2 7 ▁play able ▁PS 3 ▁games ▁running ▁on ▁final ▁hardware . ▁ ▁La unch ▁ ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁was ▁first ▁released ▁in ▁Japan ▁on ▁November ▁ 1 1 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁at ▁ 0 7 : 0 0 . ▁According ▁to ▁Media ▁Create , ▁ 8 1 , 6 3 9 ▁PS 3 ▁systems ▁were ▁sold ▁within ▁ 2 4 ▁hours ▁of ▁its ▁introduction ▁in ▁Japan . ▁Soon ▁after ▁its ▁release ▁in ▁Japan , ▁PS 3 ▁was ▁released ▁in ▁North ▁America ▁on ▁November ▁ 1 7 , ▁ 2 0 0 6 . ▁Re ports ▁of ▁violence ▁surrounded ▁the ▁release ▁of ▁PS 3 . ▁A ▁customer ▁was ▁shot , ▁camp ers ▁were ▁ro bb ed ▁at ▁gun point , ▁customers ▁were ▁shot ▁in ▁a ▁drive - by ▁shooting ▁with ▁BB ▁guns , ▁and ▁ 6 0 ▁camp ers ▁fought ▁over ▁ 1 0 ▁systems . ▁ ▁The ▁console ▁was ▁originally ▁planned ▁for ▁a ▁global ▁release ▁through ▁November , ▁but ▁at ▁the ▁start ▁of ▁September ▁the ▁release ▁in ▁Europe ▁and ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁world ▁was ▁delayed ▁until ▁March . ▁With ▁it ▁being ▁a ▁somewhat ▁last - minute ▁delay , ▁some ▁companies ▁had ▁taken ▁depos its ▁for ▁pre - orders , ▁at ▁which ▁Sony ▁informed ▁customers ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁eligible ▁for ▁full ▁refund s ▁or ▁could ▁continue ▁the ▁pre - order . ▁On ▁January ▁ 2 4 , ▁ 2 0 0 7 , ▁Sony ▁announced ▁that ▁Play Station   3 ▁would ▁go ▁on

▁electron ics ▁industry ; ▁a ▁ 2 0 0 9 ▁study ▁by ▁Square Tr ade , ▁a ▁warranty ▁provider , ▁found ▁a ▁two - year ▁failure ▁rate ▁of ▁ 1 0 % ▁for ▁Play Station ▁ 3 s . ▁ ▁In ▁September ▁ 2 0 0 9 , ▁BBC ' s ▁Watch dog ▁television ▁program ▁a ired ▁a ▁report ▁investig ating ▁the ▁issue , ▁calling ▁it ▁the ▁" y ellow ▁light ▁of ▁death " ▁( Y LO D ). ▁Among ▁the ▁cons oles ▁that ▁experienced ▁the ▁failure , ▁they ▁found ▁that ▁it ▁usually ▁occurred ▁ 1 8 – 2 4 ▁months ▁after ▁purchase , ▁while ▁the ▁standard ▁Sony ▁warranty ▁covers ▁one ▁year ▁after ▁purchase . ▁After ▁this ▁time ▁period , ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁owners ▁can ▁pay ▁Sony ▁a ▁fixed ▁fee ▁for ▁a ▁ref urb ished ▁console . ▁ ▁Sony ▁claimed ▁that , ▁according ▁to ▁its ▁statistics ▁of ▁returned ▁cons oles , ▁approximately ▁ 0 . 5 % ▁of ▁cons oles ▁were ▁reported ▁as ▁showing ▁the ▁Y LO D . ▁In ▁response ▁to ▁the ▁telev ised ▁report , ▁Sony ▁issued ▁a ▁document ▁critic izing ▁the ▁program ' s ▁accuracy ▁and ▁conclusions ; ▁specifically ▁that ▁the ▁fault s ▁were ▁evidence ▁of ▁a ▁manufacturing ▁defect . ▁The ▁document ▁also ▁complained ▁that ▁the ▁report ▁had ▁been ▁in appropri ate ▁in ▁tone ▁and ▁might ▁damage ▁Sony ' s ▁brand ▁name . ▁ ▁Software ▁ ▁System ▁software ▁Sony ▁has ▁included ▁the ▁ability ▁for ▁the ▁operating ▁system , ▁referred ▁to ▁as ▁System ▁Software , ▁to ▁be ▁updated . ▁The
