A JOY'S HOUSE SERIES: The MAGA Chronicles – From El Rushbo to Charlie Kirk; red pilling the younguns

Joy-Ann Reid — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 01:49:05 GMT

Welcome to my new mini-series: Chronicles of MAGA, in which I’ll attempt to lay out the backstory of how the American right wound up in the hands of people like Nick Fuentes — the nazi-curious streamer who has become one of the most quoted and quotable figures in the America First movement — and how the MAGA schism over Israel is the likely precursor to…

A Daily Reid: The MAGA mean girl aesthetic

Joy-Ann Reid — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 11:01:46 GMT

There are five key steps to becoming a MAGA Leni Riefenstahl — a woman who can represent The Faith in public, even as you presumably submit to your husband’s authority behind the scenes.

Step one: fix your face

And by “fix,” I mean surgically alter the bone structure of your grill and add heaping helpings of thick, pancake makeup so you look more or less …

Pam Bondi is by far the worst, most corrupt, and rat-nastiest attorney general in U.S. history

Joy-Ann Reid — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 11:01:20 GMT

Here’s how Brittanica opens the entry for Richard Nixon’s attorney general, John Mitchell:

John Mitchell (born Sept. 15, 1913, Detroit, Mich., U.S.—died Nov. 9, 1988, Washington, D.C.) was the U.S. attorney general during the Nixon administration who served 19 months in prison (1977–79) for his participation in the Watergate Scandal.

A Daily Reid: Renee Good is the George Floyd of #STOPICE

Joy-Ann Reid — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 11:02:59 GMT

Renee Good, photo from her social media accounts.

MAGA will rue the day that one of their own murdered Renee Good.

Ms. Good was a 37 year old woman living in Minneapolis. A U.S. citizen, she was the mother of three children, including a 6 year old son and two teenagers from her first marriage. But for the fact that after two relationships with men, inclu…

A Daily Reid: Imperialism, Inc.

Joy-Ann Reid — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 11:00:27 GMT

Washington, DC., USA, 1989 Hand holding crack cocaine in Washington DC. Crack cocaine is the freebase form of cocaine that can be smoked. It may also be termed rock, work, hard, iron, base, or just crack; it is said to be the most addictive form of cocaine, although this has been contested. Crack rocks offer a short but intense high to smokers. Crack ap…

A Daily Reid: 2025 Wasn't shit ... 2026: do better

Joy-Ann Reid — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 20:20:25 GMT

The year of our Lord 2025 was one hell of a shit year. It began with the inauguration of an insurrectionist president, who completed what he started on January 6, 2021 after four years of lying, whining, and manipulating 80 million American fools into letting him back into the White House. Did none of these people watch Sinners???

Watch the '60 Minutes' segment Bari Weiss and the regime don't want you to see

Joy-Ann Reid — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 03:54:40 GMT

The exceptional journalists at 60 Minutes revealed a tale of U.S.-sponsored torture, rendition and false imprisonment of more than 200 Venezuelan men in a Salvadoran gulag. The reporters and producers sought comment from the Trump regime, and from the government of El Salvador. They put their story through the CBS legal department and through Standards …

A Daily Reid: No, Erika ... You can't touch my hair

Joy-Ann Reid — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 11:03:05 GMT

Being a public person is strange in so many ways. You’ve constantly got to remind yourself that the person running up to you at the airport is not some person you knew at school or who you used to work with whose name you’ve somehow forgotten. You actually don’t know them at all. They just know you. Even stranger: people who don’t know you at all hate y…

A Daily Reid: Epstein's creepy pics; plus Harvard investigates the wrong people

Joy-Ann Reid — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 20:17:01 GMT

Why is Harvard investigating its own students? According to Steve Schmidt and Mark Arsenault at the New York Times:

Fox's Jingle Bells crash-out, Kahlil, and me

Joy-Ann Reid — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 03:59:18 GMT

Every year, Fox “News” celebrates their annual tradition of pretending there’s a “war on Christmas.” It’s a tried and true ratings gimmick, designed to trigger their loyal, almost entirely white, right wing “Christian” audience (who apparently have no idea the Bible forbids celebrating around a tinseled tree on the pagan holiday of Saturnalia, which tak…

UPDATE: A Daily Reid: Rewriting the insurrection, and our Department of War crimes

Joy-Ann Reid — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 19:23:37 GMT

This post has been updated: There’s been … shall we say … a complication in the right’s new narrative about the alleged DC pipe bomb guy…

What will Dan Bongino and MAGA do now … and will Trump now push for a pardon??? We’ll unpack tonight on TJRS…

A Daily Reid: A racist, woman-hating president, and a media that won't defend itself

Joy-Ann Reid — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 21:41:04 GMT

Happy Friday Jr., everyone. Hope all is well! As for me, I’m still fuming over Donald Trump’s serial racist rants against Somalis (“Donald, it’s ‘Somalis,’ not ‘Somalians,’ you ignorant Twit) including his attack on Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The attacks should have surprised no one who has been paying even the slightest attention to Trump, who…

A Daily Reid: Redrum

Joy-Ann Reid — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 16:58:10 GMT

The Trump regime is in increasingly hot water regarding their murder on the high seas policy, which defense secretary Pete "Whiskey” Hegseth is now officially blaming on his subordinate: the admiral who took over for the wiser admiral who quit in October, before the war crimes began.

With that setup, watch the Regime’s Leni Riefenstahl try to explain ho…

A Morning Reid: December follies

Joy-Ann Reid — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 14:49:42 GMT

UPDATED: Happy December 1st, everybody! It’s kind of wild how quickly this year has gone. And slightly unnerving. Still, it feels like we’ve been in the Second Trump Regime for about a decade. In fact, maybe we’ve always been in the Second Trump Regime… So this is what I’m reading this morning.

Today is World AIDS Day, not just in the U.S., but around th…
