  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maddow: 'No Kings' protests send message to Trump from EVERY state in the nation
Q: Should we Americans looking at this No Kings turnout think of ourselves as doing something analogous to any other movement of the past several decades?
Yes, the situation in the U.S. reflects acute democratic backsliding similar to other historical instances of sub-state authoritarianism, where civil resistance has been mobilized against it.

Q: What can educators do to promote a sense of civic responsibility in our young people?
Educators play a crucial role in modeling civic responsibility through their approach to teaching and engaging the students, thus cultivating informed future stewards of democracy.
'We need to watch out': Maddow sounds alarm on ICE surveillance as Trump wields new weapon
Q: Is there any reason to believe that ICE would have different constraints in terms of due process than other law enforcement agencies?
To use cell phone location data, ICE needs a slightly lesser standard than a warrant, and there's concern it might not follow due process.
'We need to watch out': Maddow sounds alarm on ICE surveillance as Trump wields new weapon
Q: What is the thing you are most worried about in terms of how the government will use this technology against us?
ICE is using it the most, and they are tracking people's locations, which can allow them to round people up.
