  • Rachel Maddow on Trump's Downfall, MAGA's Future & What's Next for America

    Rachel Maddow on Trump's Downfall, MAGA's Future & What's Next for America
    12 Nov 2026

    Rachel Maddow joins Katie Couric for a wide-ranging conversation about Donald Trump, the future of MAGA, and what the stunning results of the 2026 midterm elections mean for American democracy.

    After Democrats' sweeping victories, is Trump's grip on the Republican Party finally weakening? Can the GOP survive without him? And will Democrats hold the Trump administration accountable?

    Maddow breaks down the election results, why she believes corruption played a major role in voters' rejection of Trump, and what comes next for Republicans and Democrats. She also weighs in on the possibility of Pete Hegseth's impeachment, Stephen Miller's growing power in the White House, and whether Trump's Justice Department can be rebuilt.

    Plus, Maddow discusses her new book, Department of Fate: The Promise, the Power and the Collapse of America's Most Consequential Institution, and explains why she believes the future of the Department of Justice is inseparable from the future of American democracy.

  • The Art of Aging: The Loneliness Fix

    The Art of Aging: The Loneliness Fix
    10 Nov 2026

    My girlfriends and I have a plan: When we’re 85, we’re all moving into one big house together, somewhere warm, of course. Our own modern-day Golden Girls. (I’ll be Sophia.) But it turns out there’s real science behind that plan. Research shows friendships and social connection are just as important to healthy aging as diet, exercise and sleep.


    So why does making friends get so much harder as we get older? For the latest episode of The Art of Aging, I sat down with Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering and The Art of Fighting, to talk about how to build community when kids grow up, friends move away, and our social circles start to shrink.


    In partnership with Pantene and Olay.

  • The 2026 Midterms: A Democratic Landslide and a Republican Reckoning

    The 2026 Midterms: A Democratic Landslide and a Republican Reckoning
    7 Nov 2026
    The 2026 midterms delivered an extraordinary night for Democrats, who won control of both houses of Congress and flipped key races in states like Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina. But was this a vote of confidence in Democrats, or a resounding rejection of Trump? After nearly five hours of live election coverage from the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, Katie reunites with veteran journalist Jim Acosta and political analyst Larry Sabato to unpack the results, the biggest surprises, and what comes next. They discuss the shifting political map, what drove voters to the polls, whether moderates or progressives have the upper hand in the Democratic Party, and how Democrats should wield their newfound power in Congress. Plus, they explore what Trump might be thinking after such a devastating defeat, whether JD Vance is distancing himself from the president, and what the results mean for the race to the White House in 2028. The votes are in, but the political fallout is only beginning.
