A big thank you to Rachel and Lawrence

Those two are almost my life's blood these days. Without them to inform me and put the breaking news into context every night, not sure how I'd make it through these dark days of the Republic. Certainly I would be more depressed. They give me hope in a hundred ways and form the highlight of my day.

the election was indeed stolen and Hillary was absolutely elected, even if they never find a single trace of flipped votes, I am certain that the hacking and interference alone caused this.

To watch them, knowing half of the country doesnt care if their party is treasonous, they actually do NOT care, makes me crazy.

I fear for both of them as to safety, by the way. Them and Stephanie Miller.

But, lucky me! I get Rachel at 6pm and Lawrence at 7pm. One of the few perks of living in the Pacific Time Zone (another is getting to watch the end of the Superbowl and getting to bed early).

Thank you Rachel, Lawrence and Steven!

They shine out like a shaft of gold when all around them is dark.

Truly. And Joy Reid. If it wasn't for them, I'd probably be glued to DU 24 hours a day instead of my typical 22.

He gets people from all over to explain things from their point of view. Sometimes I can't stomach the people interviewed but I like the variety.

If I could I'd just hang out all day: MSNBC, CNN, then read the Washington Post (the dead tree version!), Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert. But especially Rachel and Lawrence.
