1776 Ways MAGA Messed Up Memorial Day | The Joy Reid LIVE!

Joy-Ann Reid — Sat, 23 May 2026 04:37:39 GMT

Donald Trump sued his own IRS and of course … his DOJ settled with … him. And now, the regime is preparing to hand out your hard-earned tax dollars to Trump’s insurrectionist friends. We spoke with former Capitol police officer who is running for congress AND suing the bastards … former Metro police officer who laid the MAGA hoarde out thoroughly … Congressman Adam Smith of Washington State who spoke truth on the DOD’s violation of every conceivable principle, on the bizarre white Christian nationalist display last week on the National Mall, NAACP chief Derrick Johnson on the organization’s Out Of Bounds campaign to deprive SEC schools of Black athletes in states harming Black voting rights, and our pal who brought the TEA on Tulsi Gabbard’s departure as National Security Director (and the frightening prospects for her replacement…)

Get involved:

Take the Out Of Bounds pledge (for athletes and college sports fans)

Read the lawsuit filed by Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges against the $1,776 slush fund

Everything Is Fine | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

The Joy Reid Show — Thu, 21 May 2026 02:25:05 GMT

Tonight on the Joy Reid Show, everything is fine! Donald Trump's DOJ is creating a slush fund that he will use to pay himself and his January 6th cronies millions of our taxpayer dollars. Everything is fine! The "ballroom" our taxes have also misappropriated for is adding a hospital wing and research facilities. Everything is fine! The continuous islamaphobic hate speech spouted by right-wing bigots lead to a horrific mass shooting at a San Diego mosque. AND Ebola is making its way to the U.S., which we have no CDC, USAID, or relationship with the World Health Organization to combat it with. Everything is fine! Everything is fine! Everything is FINE!

Hey MAGA: Welcome to the Backlash | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

Joy-Ann Reid — Tue, 19 May 2026 01:10:27 GMT

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, the Trumpfederacy thought that they could strip away Black Americans' voting rights with no pushback. Well, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! And it's not just Black folks speaking up, this weekend's multi-racial, multi age, multi gender march in Alabama as well as the massive voter turnout against Republicans' racist gerrymandering in Louisiana, is proof that Americans of all stripes refuse to go down without a fight.

They’re Back! Racist Southern Governors & Pandemics | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

The Joy Reid Show — Tue, 12 May 2026 02:11:24 GMT

On this episode of TJRS, how to save a life. We dive into the case of condemned, likely innocent man Tony Carruthers, who is scheduled to be executed in the State of Tennessee just over a week from now. We dive into all of the problems with his case, with his ACLU defense attorney.

If you want to help save Mr. Carruthers’ life, call Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and ask him to offer clemency. The number to call is 615-412-3133. You can also visit the ACLU website here.

We also take a deep dive into our twin crisis: the end of the Voting Rights Act and the potential next pandemic.

The unleashing of John Crow voter denial all over the South now includes Alabama, which the Supreme Court today gave the green light to snatch back one Black majority congressional seat (with more to come, we’re sure.) There is a major protest planned in Montgomery this Saturday, which you can get details about at allroadsleadtothesouth.com.

In our “scaring is caring” segment, walks us through the horrors of dealing with a Trump-led pandemic when she was a homeland security adviser to Mike Pence. Olivia has some warnings for us as we keep a side eye on the “rat virus.”

And we round out the show with a bedtime soother featuring the butter-smooth voice of Kenny Latimore, who has some thoughts on the power and precariousness of art in the age of MAGA; plus a skeptical dog as our “moment of joy.”

Joy-Ann Reid — Tue, 05 May 2026 02:17:24 GMT

May Day! May Day, America! | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

Joy-Ann Reid — Sat, 02 May 2026 02:01:30 GMT

On this episode of The Joy Reid Show, we dive deep into the implication of John Roberts and the right wing, neoconfederate Supreme Court’s evisceration of the landmark Voting Rights Act, including immediate moves by Republican states like Tennessee, Louisiana and Florida to eliminate every single Democrat and/or Black-held congressional seat via mid-Census gerrymandering. We also lay out the dangers to the First Amendment as the U.S. slips in the rankings for press freedom.

Our powerhouse guests include , , , Jasmine Burney Clarke of the Florida Black voter advocacy group Equal Ground Education Fund and Action Fund, Clayton Weimers, North America Director, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party.

No King, Rotten Court | The Joy Reid Show!

The Joy Reid Show — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:32:39 GMT

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, Donald Trump, who fancies himself a king, spent the last two days hobnobbing with the actual king of England. While that was going on, his lackeys in the Supreme Court further gutted the Voting Rights Act to ensure that this corrupt administration never has to give up its power. It's Post-Reconstruction 2: Electric Boogaloo, y'all. Strap in!
