    Amazing Research
    I always learn so much from Rachel. Huge amounts of money to transport refugees to Guantanamo, with no criminal acts. Chopping agencies willy nilly. She's right on top of VA firing, Medicare elimination, failing to pay for sterilization of medical equipment. Horrifying cuts with no rational basis. OMG. Thank you Rachel and MSNBC for reporting the truth.
  • Happy216
    Brilliant
    She will break news down in a way that is factual and immediately I can connect the dots and it makes complete sense. Rachel you are needed!

    Fantastic and inspiring interview with Hampton Dellinger! Great interview questions resulted in a full understanding of the illegal firings.

    Rachel gives it straight, with a side of snark when needed (let’s face it, with this moron administration it’s always needed.)

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Rachel Maddow is absolutely top tier journalism. She’s a lighthouse in the storm.
  • Aroel2
    Time is Ticking
    Thank you Rachel for this feed. I’m sick of the Democratic Party asking everyone what do we do and the Republicans are living in some altered universe. “Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes. The minutes, as we will see, mattered.”

    I love Rachel anyway, but I love these historical accounts of what has happened and how it was handled.

    Ignore the Haters
    You did the right thing in speaking up about management decisions to fire and demote hosts of color. Joy Reid said on her last show that you fought for everyone. Considering that Joy expressed respect and gratitude for what you’ve done, Keith Olbermann and his hostile and unprofessional attacks on you are ignorable. He is a bitter and jealous has been. Your voice is needed and resigning is the last thing you should do no matter what Olbermann thinks. Keep using your important voice to speak truth to the power.

    Rachel Maddow - Powerful Voice
    Rachel, your in depth analysis of history, truth, and values consolidated the spirit of our American Experiment. Your voice represents REASON & HOPE to this great nation! Thank you.

    So grateful for Rachel Maddow! Her laser-sharp intelligence, wisdom, perspective, humor, and humanity are a godsend in these troubling times.

    unsubscribe until rachel grows a pair over her overlords
    money over people, money over the truth, eh rachel? keith obermann is correct about your pathetic words and what words you avoided regarding recent msnbc firings. they didn’t leave, they were fired and the rest demoted.
  • Snappaloo
    Ditch MSNBC
    Rachel, you’re amazing but it’s time to leave MSNBC. Please, let them go. I’ve given up on the network and stopped watching you along with other shows on MSNBC since Mika & Joe turned lame.
  • Randyzurcher
    Joy Reid
    Hey, great job sticking up for your friend Joy. You have the weight to throw around around that place and you could have saved her job. Shame on you! Have some spine!

    It’s sad to see that our career politicians and the establishment media not wanting ANY transparency. When other presidents only talked about it in warm fuzzy terms. Why? No reason
  • Kynduvme
    Love the podcast
    In a world where there are so few strong reasonable and intelligent voices, you shine a light. Please do not stop, do not hold back, and keep fighting. We are here behind you and with you all the way. Not every white hetero male in America is on the side of hate, poisonous nationalism and greed. Count me in for the fight against this Trump insanity ❤️❤️
  • Rachel Maddow review
    genuine & fact-based
    Absolutely love your podcast and I love watching your show even more. It’s been helpful and a relief to have you 5 days a week for the first 100 days (I wish it could last even longer with the state of things!). Truly value your transparency, breaking down the situation, light humor, and factual reporting.

  • Pcta
    Jeffries?
    NO. Mumbo jumbo rhubarb rhubarb. Stand up to him Rachel. He’s a lousy spokesperson. Give airtime to the fighters
  • Allie 🐊
    Protect Rachel
    I love this show and Rachel’s analysis. I have followed Rachel’s work for years. We need to protect Rachel no matter what chaos ensues in the network. This is madness!
  • LP - AZCA
    Stand with Joy Reid
    Stand with Joy Reid. New MSNBC leadership is trash.
  • greeneyes49
    Hostile takeover
    Interview with Hakeem Jeffries just now. You are right about questioning him about governance and he’s doing all he can to help with what he can do but the issue is that we are in the midst of a hostile takeover! What are they doing about that!
  • MyCuriousCity
    Big thank you!!!
    Rachel, please never give up on us, not matter what. America needs you now more than ever. Your reporting and style are essential. Loved episode 2/21/25…on fire, sadly for the wrong reasons, but it’s the type of reporting the cult needs to finally start waking up. Love the Bluesky part every night, by the way. The other side needs to go out of business. Thanks for all you and your team do.

    Pick and choose your ads Rachel
    Maybe can you stop with the Trump supporting Snoop Dogg T-Mobile ads?

    Say It Like It Is
    The most important show to watch during these chaotic times. MSNBC is the only broadcast network to care about breaking things down no ivy league language keep keeping it simple and straight. Rachel is the model. In these times it would be great to include contact info on who is organizing protests.
  • ZG girl
    Thanks!
    Thank you and your team for working so hard to bring us these important news stories!
  • sommgirl
    Essential
    No one puts current events into historical context as well as Rachel Maddow. Given that those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it, her commentary is essential to understanding where we are, how we got here, and how to learn from those who defeated fascism and other anti-democratic movements from our past.
  • ApeyDuBey
    Propaganda much?
    The fact that this weirdo has multiple “5 star” reviews says everything. Obviously only severely mentally ill people listen to this nonsense but I’m sure these are all bots. I can’t stand this demon. THIS review, Rachael Maddow, is what we the actual, real life people think of you and your constant lies & propaganda. Find Jesus.
  • MPG 2013
    Consider your advertisers
    I love the show and content, but it is hard to take the show seriously when the ads are for predatory online gambling schemes. Hold yourself to a higher standard
  • Boxer dog listening
    Thank you!!
    I really liked your report from yesterday (2/19/25). Thank you for calling out the republicans because they are ones that can make the biggest impact on the things happening. We need reminds of who is in power, republicans.
  • Blind nate
    100% your fault and those of the same elk
    It is Rachel Maddow and her friends who are completely responsible for hijacking my beloved Democratic party, and handing it over to Lippards, who lost the election to an insane person by lying about our former President Biden about his mental stability and forcing the Democratic Party to take a cop, I’m a Democrat. I don’t vote for cops and overeducated college elites like her nudged out the reasonable voters like me when I chose to vote for Chase Oliver, the libertarian candidate because I couldn’t bring myself to vote for a cop. Thank you Rachel for handing the Trump to a truly insane person.
  • HMOGUY
    Please help me
    On today’s podcast (2/18/25] you noted a woman who voted for Trump and said it was the stupidest thing she has ever done. Great, but I am having a very hard time forgiving these people. They gave us this orange monster who is doing everything he said he would do. I do agree that she was stupid, did she not listen to him. I know we should welcome their profession that they made a mistake and I do, but I cannot forgive them. Help me!
  • Amar008

    Thank you Rachel for all the facts and calling out this orange buffoon that is the president. I can’t believe he is in office. It’s so stressful but thanks for being a truth teller.
