When propaganda is the point and the cruelty is just a perk

We've Got Issues

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a look at how far-right leaders use public money to cause real hardship for real people in service of propaganda campaigns.

Then we're joined by Greg Sargent from The Washington Post to discuss the latest courtroom drama over the search of Mar-a-Lago, the tantrums MAGA has been throwing in response to Trump's constant incitement and why this is all very bad for his party as we race toward the midterms.

And finally, Slate's Mark Joseph Stern will run down why Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's election police squad's first, highly selective arrests for "voter fraud" are likely to blow up in his face.
