The harm of QAnon goes beyond the extremist violence it has inspired. It’s also socially corrosive in ways that are normally invisible. Relationships between siblings, spouses, friends, and parents and children are frequently strained when someone falls too deep down the rabbit hole. The nature of and consequences of this harm is powerfully illustrated in the new book The Quiet Damage: QAnon And T...

And we explore what's next for election season with analyst...

The script had been lost to the ages until Liv tra...
