The MAGA movement is divisive by design, and it relies on sowing division amongst everyday Americans. That's very good for our enemies, as @ryan-n-wiggins.bsky.social says with @mayaonstage.bsky.social on the latest episode of The Breakdown.

The Arkansas Board of Corrections is asking to staff understaffed prisons with the National Guard while Sarah Huckabee Sanders orders the building of a 3,000 bed prison in rural Arkansas. Who will staff it?

I wonder if the 3k bed unit is for migrant detainment and will be staffed by soldiers?

RFK Jr’s long history of conspiracy theories, reckless disregard for public health, and racist, crazy ideology make him among the most dangerous of Trump's cabinet picks. He is unfit to lead our HHS.

In all the talk about UnitedHealth, there's been one missing discussion: its primary partner in Medicare and Medicare Advantage, which leverages its massive audience to steer to the insurer, is AARP. This never gets enough attention. Bob Kuttner shines the light:
