  • Unhinged and bitter

    Is she ok? This is full of bile. She’s not right and not worth her extortionate salary. I’d like $30 million a year to say protest 10 times a week!

  • Obscurity made clear and bright

    I rely on this podcast to understand what’s happening, sometimes even to keep my balance.

    For over a decade, Rachel Maddow has reliably explained the background and history behind the most baffling current events. I listen to Maddow for the through lines that point out and up and far into the future.

    These are the through lines that pierce disperse the gritful post-missile-strike atmosphere and reach toward the clear, breathable, believable air that WILL rush in.

  • Portland OR

    I was in Portland a few days ago. Very peaceful. People enjoying late fall. Women out with their strollers in the parks. People shopping downtown not carrying guns. Great place. Now the idiot is going to spoil it. Somebody once said everything he touches dies. This may be our end. Thanks GOP members.

  • A national treasure and frontline hero, this woman is leading us and lighting the way. Brave and strong, though she may be cloaked in dark blazers all year long, her whip smart voice and cheerful laughter remind us that we are not alone. Intelligence is better than a sexy little black dress.
