15+ min ago (373+ words) MS Now Opinion Columnist Ja'han Jones said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is lobbing more firebombs into an already burning MAGA house this week. "Conspiracy theories are devouring any semblance of unity among the MAGA movement these days," writes Jones, revealing never-before seen rifts tearing the formerly Trump-centric community to pieces.
