| 7/14/26 | Maddow: Trump caught in desperation spiral as his opposition grows | Rachel Maddow notes that Donald Trump's news cycle seems to be stuck in a loop with the same basic headlines repeating, but with each cycle Trump becomes more desperate to achieve his ends, and more reckless in his efforts as his opposition gets stronger and wiser to his schemes. | — | ||||||
| 7/7/26 | Trump restores gun rights for the mentally ill (seriously) | For reasons that are hard to fathom, included among Biden era gun rules that Donald Trump has rolled back are restrictions on people who have been adjudicated mentally ill, making it easier for them to get access to guns and ammunition. Mirianna Mitchem, former associate assistant director at the ATF, talks with Rachel Maddow about the danger Trump is courting with his recklessness. | — | ||||||

| 6/30/26 | Maddow: Supreme Court greenlights expansion of Trump's corruption machine | Rachel Maddow describes how the Supreme Court conservatives radically expanded presidential power with a single ruling, even in the face of Donald Trump's unbridled corruption and abuse of the power he already had. | — | ||||||
| 6/29/26 | Maddow: Advice on defiance in the age of Trump | Rachel Maddow talks with Julia Angwin and Ami Fields-Meyer, authors of "On Courage: How to be a dissident in an age of fear," about "the central question of how to live right as an American citizen right now," and the variety of ways people can throw sand in the gears of authoritarianism to preserve democracy. | — | ||||||
| 6/23/26 | Maddow: The good news about our bad president | Rachel Maddow points out that while it's never a good thing to have a bad president, having a bad president as incompetent as Donald Trump means he is also bad at pursuing his own corrupt goals.

MS NOW's Ayman Mohyeldin joins to discuss. | — | ||||||
