Does anyone know when Rachel Maddow will be back?

I really miss her and her loves the way she does her show. I know some don't like the way she "goes on and on" but I don't feel that way really miss her nightly class in politics and history.

I don't think her schedule has been announced, but I may be wrong.

But I'm ready to see Rachel back in the chair.

I caught myself watching The Addams Family last week for the first 30 minutes of Ali.

… in between the excellent war coverage.

Rachel could do it. She can multitask.

It was only about 2 days before Putin’s War started that I read a report here that all 3 GOP candidates for State AG in (Michigan?! ) were calling for the repeal of Griswold, the precursor to Roe, and gay marriage, and so much else. I felt gutted. I wept.

Then Putin embarked on the Ukrainian catastrophe, and again, I wept. Today’s a bad day. I’m doing it again.

I miss Rachel and her informed and intelligent way of putting things in context. She may have moved on — but gods, I hope she comes back.

Just in time for the televised January 6 committee hearings.

She’s only going to be back for a short time before ending her nightly show permanently, and then she will only return for elections coverage and special projects/reports.

I quit watching cable news. Occasionally check in with Nicole but otherwise watch movies, read my Kindle book mysteries, and check in DU to see what I missed from newscasts.Much happier and living with much less stress these days.

... she agreed to do election coverage, so I expect she will be working late Oct - early November. May and July are also sweeps months - when ratings count in determining ad dollars.
