For those who have faced off against former Fox News host Tucker Carlson over the years, his downfall is now bringing his detractors together to dance on the grave of his Fox News career.

The Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Donald Trump former Republicans, collected some of their favorite clips of Carlson's conspiracy theories that he promoted on his nightly prime-time show. Everything from his promotion of the white nationalist "great replacement theory" to his war against M&Ms for the cartoons' outfits and perceived gender of the candy with no gender.

U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly in Washington, D.C., snapped at one of the lawyers of the Proud Boys in court Monday. Lawfare editor Roger Parloff has spent the last 61 days live-tweeting what he observes in the trial that isn't being streamed to the public, only the audio has been available at times.

The top five members of the Proud Boys that are appearing in court face "a ten-count indictment. "The government alleges that five Proud Boy defendants conspired to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power by force," Parloff explained in January when the trial began. The men are former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola.

Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen filed an appeal with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday asking for reconsideration of his suit against agencies in the federal government. He alleges that he was put in solitary confinement as retaliation over his public comments about the former president.

During the pandemic, nonviolent offenders who had morbidities were allowed to apply for release to home confinement. Cohen claims he qualified for it and moved forward with the application. It was accepted, and he was set to be released. He was then called back by a company called GEO Group, a third-party contractor for the Bureau of Prisons, to outfit Cohen with an ankle monitor.

At the start of his Sunday show, John Oliver took a moment to congratulate a local Tennessee news team that managed to make Republican state Rep. Scotty Campbell short-circuit on live television. It turns out he was caught in a sexual harassment scandal alleged by one of his former teenage interns. It's one of many humiliations hitting Republicans in the state after they picked a fight with three Democratic lawmakers.

While the news station asked Campbell about the allegations, the lawmaker asked if he could have five seconds, chugged his coffee, and then asked which camera he should look into. While he has since resigned, Oliver noted that it was something special to watch a Republican live on camera as he realizes his political career is over.

On Sunday evening, Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders launched a new campaign that was meant to be an attack on transgender women, with an insult about them not being "real women."

But it didn't work out quite the way she thought.

A Florida couple was delivering groceries for Instacart when they were shot at after driving to the wrong address. The incident, which occurred on April 15, is just another in a line of accidents that have turned violent.

One teenager in North Kansas City was going to pick up his twin brothers when he went to the wrong street. It was a difference between 115th Terrace and 115th Street. The teen was allegedly shot in the head by an 82-year-old Fox News addict with a gun.

Donald Trump spoke with Fox's Mark Levin for another easy interview that allowed him to defend his case on national television. In the conversation, Trump was asked about former President Richard Nixon.

Trump explained that he and Nixon are the two presidents that are most aligned.

For Jan. 6 attackers and pro-Donald Trump followers, Ray Epps is a villain that caused the attack on the Capitol. Ironically, Epps was a passionate Trump supporter when he went to Washington for the Jan. 6 rally. He was a loyal Fox viewer too. But, after becoming the GOP's boogyman, he's changed.

Speaking to "60 Minutes" on Sunday, Epps, a former Marine and Oath Keeper, explained he is in hiding, because his fellow MAGA supporters are now sending death threats. He and his wife were forced to sell their home and go on the run.

Americans still don't know the specifics about the indictment and charges against former President Donald Trump from the grand jury and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Media outlets have been working on getting the information and argue that cameras should be in the courtroom during the trial.

Those supportive of Trump believe that the case is a "witch hunt," and there's a concern that a conviction could prompt further conspiracies among his flock.

It has been nearly 100 years since children were taken out of the coal mines and put in schools, but some red states, such as Arkansas and Iowa, are looking for a new option. For most farms, immigrant workers that came into the United States were hired to work in these jobs. The significant reduction in immigrants created a void for workers. So, Republicans are turning to the next best place for cheap labor: children.

The Washington Post's Jacob Bogage and María Luisa Paúl explained that the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) and its lobbying arm, the Opportunity Solutions Project, are behind the effort to make adult workers compete with children.

The lawyers for E. Jean Carroll issued a response to a request from Donald Trump that the judge presiding over their case, "clarify" one of his previous demands. Carroll's lawyer explained it's more like "reconsider."

Trump previously asked that Carroll be forced to nix Natasha Stoynoff from their list of possible witnesses. She is one of several other women that alleged Trump forcibly kissed them or physically assaulted them. Judge Lewis Kaplan already dismissed his claim. So, Trump sent another letter asking for "clarification."

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, confessed that he invited Chief Justice John Roberts to answer questions about the lack of ethics in the Supreme Court because he didn't think Clarence Thomas would come to the Senate.

Speaking to "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Durbin explained, “I think I know what would happen to that invitation. It would be ignored."

The proposal from House Republicans for the budget would slash critical services for American soldiers that have left the field, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs explained in a release.

"I have worked to ensure that veterans in our district — and throughout the country — have the tools they need when they come home to advance their careers and build their own American Dream," Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) says on his website.
