Americans who aggressively promote far-right conspiracy theories online are often stereotyped as older white males who live in red states, never attended college, and are avid followers of Alex Jones' Infowars or Steve Bannon's "War Room."

But according to Saverio Roscigno, a researcher at the University of California, Irvine, some of the most passionate conspiracy theorists are white-collar workers with advanced college degrees.

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) said Monday that he will vote for President Joe Biden this year because Donald Trump has "disqualified himself."

In a Monday op-ed for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Duncan explained why he was splitting with his party for the presidential vote.

The nonprofit Conservative Partnership Institute has enjoyed a substantial boost in fundraising after becoming a nerve center for the MAGA movement, but recent tax filings show much of that money has been funneled to corporations led by the group's leaders or their relatives.

The filings show the institute's three highest-paid contractors were each connected to insiders, including its president Edward Corrigan and his brother Patrick Corrigan, chief operating officer Wesley Denton and senior legal fellow Cleta Mitchell, which could be in violation of its nonprofit status with the Internal Revenue Service, reported the New York Times.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have what Semafor reporter Dave Weigel is describing as a "soft spot" for certain members of the Democratic Party.

The catch is, those particular members are the ones who have been indicted by the United States Department of Justice.

Legal analysts spent the 12th day of Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan discussing testimony from a controller from the Trump Organization about hush money payments.

Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up an alleged sexual relationship with adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Advocates are gearing up to put a proposal on the November ballot to increase the minimum wage in Ohio to $15, which has led state Republicans to introduce their own wage-hike bill to “fend off” the constitutional amendment.

Ohioans have been debating minimum wage for years.

"The View's" co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, trashed politicians desperate to be Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate Monday, saying they're compromising everything and lying about their background.

At the top of the show Monday, the hosts brought up the next installment of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's disastrous unveiling of her new book. Not only did she confess to shooting a puppy and a goat, she also lied about meeting Kim Jong Un and canceling a meeting with French President Emanuel Macron. In a statement, Macron's office said it never happened.

The glitzy and frightfully expensive Met Gala scheduled for the first Monday of May every year was on the receiving end of a thrashing hours before it kicked off with one critic labeling it as a "vainglorious display of self-congratulatory decadence" despite its charity trappings.

In a harsh column for the Daily Beast, critic Kali Hollway lambasted not only the self-promoting attendees but a press corp that flocks to cover an event emblematic of "late-stage capitalism run amok."

A jury heard evidence Monday that then-President Donald Trump personally signed some of the checks used to repay former attorney Michael Cohen for a hush money agreement with adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

During the hearing in Manhattan court, former Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney told the jury that the Trump Organization initially made the monthly $35,000 payments to Cohen. The scheme, however, was eventually switched to allow Trump to make payments from his personal account.

The Insurrection Act gives presidents sweeping authority to suppress uprisings, domestic violence and conspiracies — but the rarely used law specifies few limits to those powers.

That must change, argued the Washington Post's editorial board, to reign in a future president who lacks the respect for democratic values and constitutional norms demonstrated by Donald Trump – the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee who encouraged a mob of supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol and has pondered invoking the 1792 law on his first day in office if re-elected.

Georgia resident Chuck Hand is among the many Donald Trump supporters who faced federal charges after breaking into the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.

Now, the MAGA Republican is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
