Rachel Maddow has chosen a bad time to leave her show!! She’s been doing the crucial work that we desperately need to understand these issues. Does she have any blogs or podcasts on current events that you know of?

Chris Hayes is trying to expand his coverage of the deeper problems we are facing, and I’ve appreciated his efforts.

Chris, unfortunately, doesn’t have Dr Maddow’s gravitas. Ari Melber comes closer on presence and at least has initials after his name

I agree, and unfortunately no one else does either, though they do try.

I had high hopes for Joshua Johnson to have a place on MSNBC but he was pulled away for some reason. He was developing a good program.

Alicia Jacobsen Menendez is solid. Maddow is one of a kind, and Alicia is growing.

She's working so hard on her production regarding Spiro Agnew ("Bag Man") - who knew all this would come up right when she took the leave to do that work?? She was back for a few days at the start of the Ukraine war, but was gone again too soon. I miss her too, but it seems to me the rest of her team is doing their best to fill the space. Sigh.

Thanks for the update…Spiro Agnew’s story is worthwhile to document, but the timing isn’t too great considering the issues at hand.

Somebody like Maddow should write an expansive book on Bill Barr and his theocratic attacks on democracy.
