As more issues arise from the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County, Georgia is taking steps to better secure its future elections through cleaning its voter rolls.

"Human error" was the cause for mistakes in the audit, according to the state investigators, because the process required paper ballots being sorted by candidate, hand-counted totals being written on paper, then transcribed into computers. The investigators’ findings were part of a consent order approved by the...

What a trip. Magic mushrooms may have been to blame for Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s mortifying bow before a Chinese official last week. Yellen, 76, gobbled four portions of jian shou qing, a type of wild mushroom, when she dropped in at a casual Beijing restaurant soon after she arrived there on July 6, Chinese state media reported in an effusive story that took care to praise the secretary’s chopstick skills. But the funky fungi are known in their native province of Yunnan for their unpredictable psychedelic effects, CNN reported. “You thought you were walking straight but you just fell...
