Watch highlights from The Rachel Maddow Show, airing Mondays at 9PM Eastern, on MSNBC. She used to do her show each weekday and we considered MUST SEE TV for years. She scaled down to one night a week last year and we can’t stress enough how good her show is.

Rachel Maddow makes our democracy stronger, and we always walk away smarter and better, more informed citizens, every time we watch her. She is probably one of the smartest, brightest, most articulate news anchors in the country, if not the world. If you haven’t ever heard her, you need to. You won’t be sorry (or bored or lost) and our country will be stronger for it.
