As context, the researchers noted that people on the political right—Trump’s base—tended to be “more likely to downplay or deny the risks of the virus.” A Pew Research poll in March, 2020 showed that Democrats were 26 percentage points more likely to say that the SARS-CoV-2 virus presented a major threat to the U....

Some conservatives are also opposing the bill because it includes plans to construct a new FBI headquarters in either Maryland or Virginia....
Following Thursday’s Wall Street Journal report citing unnamed sources discussing Trump’s ongoing interest in buying Greenland, an autonomous North American island territory under Danish control, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the idea “absurd” and a “joke.” She told media, “I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously.” Hours later, Trump called Denmark “a very special country with incredible people,” but revealed that, “based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time…....

The Duck Commander 500 Sunday is sponsored by the company owned by the famous Robertson family, the stars of A&E's Duck Dynasty. But the Duck Commander sponsorship shouldn’t be compared to the NRA, which sponsored the NRA 500 last year, when thinking about what’s appropriate and what’s not. The NRA’s political lobbying arm makes it a political organization in the minds of many. While it has a non-political side, its role and activism in the gun-control debate makes it a polarizing organization....

Trump spoke to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Friday and suggested that Smollett would have been imprisoned for 25 years for “hate crimes” if he were a Republican. A jury on Thursday found Smollett guilty on five out of six counts of disorderly conduct for lying about the 2019 incident, finding he had made three false police reports. He now faces up to three years in prison for each of the five counts—a possible 15-year sentence in total—though there is speculation that he will not serve prison time due to his lack of a criminal history....
