The Rachel Maddow Show

Rachel Maddow looks at how a Trump-aligned Texas oil company appears to be trying to worm its way into drilling in Greenland, provoking a threatening response not only from Greenland residents and officials, but potentially from NATO ally Denmark.

Rachel Maddow reports on an anti-immigrant group in Indiana attempting to stage a "mass deportation rally," only to end up moving the poorly attended rally to a "secret location" while counterprotesters swarmed the original location to stand up for their immigrant neighbors.

Immediately upon the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act, several Southern states moved to eliminate Black congressional districts. But what Republicans didn't count on was the political backlash they would trigger. Rev. Earle Fisher, senior pastor at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, talks with Rachel Maddow about activating Black voters in Tennessee who are outraged at Republicans gerrymandering away their representation.

Rep. LaMonica McIver joins to discuss the ongoing fight for human rights and human treatment of immigrants imprisoned by the Trump administration.

Rachel Maddow examines the confusing mix of contradictory, impulsive decisions and petty tantrums that constitutes Donald Trump's agenda. She notes that the result is an almost complete loss of U.S. allies around the world, and that only three states have a net-positive opinion of him. Even in those states, voters are handing him election losses by proxy.

Karen Attiah, columnist for the Washington Post, and Norm Eisen, co-founder of Democracy Defenders Fund, talk with Rachel about their successful lawsuit against the Washington Post for her firing in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination and her reinstatement to her job as columnist.

While Republicans still outnumber Democrats in Sarasota County, Florida, home of the right-wing "Moms for Liberty," this year two Democratically endorsed candidates were elected and a third went to a run-off, signaling a shift in favor against culture war theatrics. Megan Tennimon, newly elected member of the Sarasota County school board, talks with Rachel Maddow about her sense of how things are changing.

Rachel Maddow looks at how Donald Trump's shameful dedication to deporting immigrants has led him to betray Afghans who helped the U.S. military in Afghanistan and were promised protection in the U.S., leaving it to individual service members to push back against his disgrace. Trump is also betraying the Iranians he continues to claim he is helping with his war on Iran, shaming the United States with his dishonor.

Maggie Mullen, reporter for Wyofile.com, talks with Rachel about the strong resistance in Wyoming to Donald Trump's efforts to interfere in their elections, despite Wyoming being very Republican and more supportive of Trump than any other state, according to polls.

Rachel Maddow explains how a secret bomb shelter installed under the White House during the Obama administration undercuts Donald Trump's legal claim that he needs his ballroom constructed because it will include a necessary bomb shelter for the White House. Rachel is joined by Greg Werkheiser, co-founder of Cultural Heritage Partners, to discuss a coalition of organizations working to protect Washington cultural and historic landmarks from Trump's reckless vanity projects. 

Rachel Maddow reports breaking news that the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Donald Trump's bid to use the U.S. Postal Service to subvert mail-in ballot voting. Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket and stalwart defender of U.S. elections in the Trump era, joins to discuss why even this major victory for democracy is not a reason to relax in the face of an increasingly desperate Trump looking for any way he can to undermine the coming midterm elections.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta talks with Rachel about the legal fight to prevent Donald Trump from corrupting the election process. 

Rachel Maddow shares details of new reporting from ProPublica that Donald Trump Jr.'s lavish weekend wedding celebration was largely paid for by a "very generous" Russian oligarch who even helped plan the festivities despite there being some questions about just how well he knows the couple or what he might expect in return for his generosity. Brett Murphy, investigative reporter with ProPublica, joins to talk about the report.
