DAMN!! Why is it that Rachel and Larry can get to the guts of the news and no others i

We only hear the same stuff on CNN and MSNBC from 5 am to 7 PM. To me, the stuff Rachel just reported on (Hope Hicks and the quick movement of scientists in DOA) is huge stuff that is going on under the radar.

At least under other Presidents when agencies were cutting down and relocating the employees were given at least a year's notice and options for buyouts and offers for relocation expenses. This administration is all in for dismantling the Federal government as quickly as possible. There aim is to do as much damage as possible in the short time they have remaining.

Cutting advisory committees, stop staffing top positions, and this movement of scientists is a crash course in how to destroy your government. Take notice because it could happen to anyone working for the government. They seem to be moving the jobs to areas ill equipped to perform the necessary work...namely red states. No regard for family situations and hardships. We will be surprised at how people react when many middle class workers retaliate.

independent control over their Shows and Content within their shows. Notice last week the NY Times refused to allow certain staff to participate in any discussions on these two shows. But those selected Persons end up on Other Talking Heads Programming.

Maddow is amping up her Critique of Trump and McConnell as well as Players whom are subverting our Nation. Notice also,Trump will not slam O'Donnell or Maddow.

I always start at 3pm with Ari and the first pic he shows of Trump or repeats one of Trump's lies, I change the channel. Then I come back at 4pm for Hardball and as soon as he puts up a pic or video of Trump I change the channel. Then I come back at 5pm for All In and as soon as he puts up an image or video of Trump or repeats one of Trump's lies, I change the channel. Then I come back for Rachel and watch. Then I watch Lawrence.

Hollowing out the federal government, it's departments and agencies.

It's really odd that those who blast her for not reporting on this, that, and the other issue -- seem to not retain that she does, and does so in great depth. It's usually the same ones who complain that she spends the first 20 minutes of each program going over some issue in excruciating detail.

I Hope she get's a Pulitzer Prize one of these days.

and present it in their own way. how they want based on their experience, knowledge etc.

LO has experience in the workings of congress and other history which he is always able to put into whatever he is talking about.

you can tell RM has interest herself in the things she is discussing.
