I know y’all aren’t watching cable anymore but former Metro police officer Michael Fanone is dismantling Trump and his supporters right now on Deadline Whitehouse. Lordy!

You didn’t miss anything. Like Jan 6 vol 1 coming out, nothing new. Hegseth is a drunk, alleged sexual abuser while still married to wife 2 and wife 3 was giving birth and can’t run any business without going broke. So who knows what is a deal breaker anymore.Ernst just said she’s voting for him
Didn't Newt Gingrich so the very same? Seems they need a new serial cheater for this generation.
Wonder if they will actually get any more hearings this week and how much worse they will be? @maddow.msnbc.com had a list last night of their failures lol
What broke me was Officer Fanone seems broken. I don’t know how officers Fanone,Dunn and Gonell and the others give a crap what happens to the rest of us after this election. And who can blame them?
Except they aren’t. They aren’t “lowering standards” but rather, creating new standards for people who weren’t in the force at all when the old standards were created. Those old standards were written for MEN, and by MEN. And BTW, most men, can’t make those standards. Only 1/2 of 1% of us serve.
I watched that and was surprised fanone was a trump voter in 2016. I was more surprised that he said he really doesn’t have much more to say because Americans just proved by voting in trump they don’t give a crap what happened on Jan 6. I agree with him, I’m just surprised he flat out said it.
If you live in Texas you wouldn’t be surprised at all. This state is the home state of J6 rioters like Jenna Ryan and Guy Reffitt. Don’t get me started on Abbott and Paxton
I’m shocked! Shocked I say!! Who the hell is this “former” Metro PO? He’s the person you’re going to hold up as the expert on anyone who voted for Trump? Not only are you a fool you are a twit. And you’re right… no one is watching cable anymore, especially your show!
headlong into a tirade about how “stereotypically effeminate” trump is. We need to stop ceding that ground for an easy laugh because it’s “ironic” when *we* say it.
Masculinity is ours to define and frankly it’s going to blend easily with a good definition of femininity.
(The above also applies to “Feminine”) Trump is a draft dodger, he’s cheated on all his wives, he whines incessantly, and couldn’t change a tire with a manual and a week of practice.
I don’t need to make fun of his appearance but at the same time I understand why people slip into that as shorthand
That’s great Joy but it’s too late. You were supposed to shape the narrative before the election. Then all the money supporters like me gave wouldn’t have been wasted 😐
I will start watching again, once the Generals (Schumer, Durbin, Pelosi, Throat Cancer Guy) decide to fight Rs instead of just chastising their own base. Thats why people are tuning out. The Leaders refuse to fight.
I am so sure there are things you want to say that you are no longer allowed to. I feel for you, but it also makes me sick for you. I miss watching you and Nicolle speaking freely.
I watched Deadline Whitehouse yesterday - for the first time since 11/5. I’ve had Morning Joe on 3 times since 11/5…I was a daily viewer of both. When Elise Jordan essentially said that Trump was early on CA not cleaning up forest floors during fire segment I shut it off. Disgraceful.
Love you Joy!
Joy- I watch Nicole Ari and DVR Lawrence . And you of course . Morning joe is intolerable as are the complete hours of 6–4pm. That said saying “y’all” about anything is a little insulting to the viewers
Have someone do an investigation into why dems (Harris) didn't ask for recount in swing states. I don't believe he won, why did dems give up? Where are they now? That I'll watch!
Joy, I just watched him do that on your show, one of a few I drop in on. Lost my mind listening to republicans telling democratic senators to leave lil Petey alone.
I like your 4pm (eastern) line up on (well I can do without ari). prior to that, hell no. but I have given up media since nov 5th. I hate that it hurts YOU and nicolle especially. but the network sucks.
Will try to go back to cable - at least your show - day after the inauguration. My problem is - I can’t stand to see or hear him. So trying to avoid that.
I am watching. and when I heard what some Maga supporter did to his Mom I yelled ' What the fuck??' so loud at the Tv , I scared my brothers cat. They are an abomination to our Country.
I won't watch cable news or msnbc after the normalization and over saturation of non stop coverage of the 47. Stopped 2 weeks BEFORE the election. Miss you and Rachael, but do not want to see his face ever
I just can’t Joy.
If we want to see tolerable TV, we go listen to our favorite creators.
MSNBC didn’t understand the assignment.
Y’all normalized Trump and then said two things about how insane he was 1) Jack 2) squat.
No mam. We wait for the cream to rise to the top & gather that on top.
Joy Ann - we’re not. Yes - it’s partly the both sidesing and poor know-nothing group-think takes. But - it’s because we really can’t take hearing his voice or seeing his face. And we’re demoralized by a party that still doesn’t understand the stakes or how to fight. We need to save our sanity.
I catch Rachel’s blog and podcast from time to time.
Tuned in last week to learn more about the fires in LA but as soon as they didn’t dominate the news, I stopped again. I don’t understand why Trump and supporters are getting such a pass from so many journalists.
So, America doesn't do coups? Trump has called for it. If this isn't done, we will be in WWIII and millions will die. Junta now and fuck what it looks like. Junta for democracy. NOW
Payin for the most expensive government in the world by staffin them with idiots , i suppose that will be solution to keepin the price of eggs down lol
Qns: if an incompetent convicted felon can be allowed in the oval office , why can't competent mom , women with no convictions be allowed to serve in military ? Where is the moral equivalency here ?
wish there was a way to tell Officer Fanone and all the officers how many people out here in the real world support him. They are heroes and won’t be forgotten.
@joyannreid.bsky.social Love you Joy but I can't listen to MSNBC'S normalization of a narcissistic psychotic reality game show cluster fu*k and CONVICTED RAPIST and FELON who'll finish what Hitler started.
We know Musk and Putin bought CRIMINAL DJTs freepass out of prison and it's Pathetic!
No, are you? And had you paid attention to what CRIMINAL DJT's been saying - his wet dream is to build concentration camps or as he calls them "internment camps" for immigrants or for anyone who dares to oppose him which are the majority of us whose IQs that DOESN'T begins with a decimal point! sigh
Certainly not. I and many I know and love have the potential to be personally impacted, so I’ve been paying microscopic attention to all of this insanity. This will all likely come down to the need to put the phone down and take your text energy to action…which is why I posed the question.
As much as it pains me to say this, but there's nothing TO do.
Seems our elected officials are more concerned about keeping their addiction to power and money going and capitulating to a CONVICTED RAPIST and FELON than doing the Will of the People so at this point, our 'energy' is rendered moot!
MSNBC viewers are not like Fox News viewers who are angry and want to keep talking about grievances. Fanone rehashing his take on Trump is old news. Tell us something new and don’t do both sides journalism unless both sides are actually valid.
Did the marketing team tell you to try to lure back viewers by telling us you’re now on our side by trotting out Fanone? I can no longer watch the news because I’m so scared. Hearing old Fanone news doesn’t assuage my fear.
We aren’t watching cable any more Joy because mainstream media are more concerned about ratings than truth, credibility and integrity. Unlike you, there are very few real journalists left
Ugh. I concur. I took a break post election but happened to tune in to Morning Joe the day that Joe and Mika told about their trip to kiss the ring - Like watching a scene from the Stepford Wives. I’ve been unable to tune back in to any MSNBC show. I can’t watch any of the other hosts acquiesce.
I agree, I only watch a handful of people I still trust. You are one, I will RM, AM, and LO, but I simply don't trust the networks anymore. Mainstream or cable.
We can't keep doing this. The same guests saying the same things over and over. We know Fanone's story. We know what he's going to say. We know Jan 6 was terrible. It didn't move the needle and we lost the election. Time for new voices.
Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid are excellent news reporters. It's a shame for MSNBC that Morning Joe kissed the ring. I think the build up to the November election was riveting. The Trump victory was such a letdown and many viewers just got sick of following news. Same old shit, different day.
Nicolle and Joy are the 2 I love, no bended knees, they report with heart. I have to protect my sanity, its hard to find the proper balance of not paying attention to 99% of the chaos while still being informed, I used to have msnbc on all day, now I have reminders set to catch Nicolle
Cable news should cover the news that no one is watching anymore and why. I might come back to watch if there were discussions of the betrayals, the conflicts of interest among journalists and the biases of the people pulling their strings.
I do try to watch your show when I can; but that is as far as I go. Hope your show is not impacted negatively with the new head of MSNBC coming on board🤞🏿
I desperately want someone to start an alternative to Facebook that is independent. I want to get off there so badly but there are people that I keep in contact with and groups that I keep in contact with through it
I hear you, this is what happens when there is a monopoly. My preference is a consortium of people from different walks of life, rather than single ownership to begin with.
I still tune in to MSNBC, not as much because I just can’t handle it and you all piss me off a lot. Like not covering the Smith report. Today it was shocking how little attention the report received. I was checking the lead on a few shows, Ari was the only one who led with the Smith report.
Sorry, Joy-ann can't go back to MSNBC anymore. I can't trust what is being reported - now that I know, YA'LL have a muzzle on! Or at least on in your ear.
Sorry Ms.Joy but it's a no can do. MSNBC let us down.They made the madman normal. y'all turned on Biden bc of a debate.We lost bc no one has the courage to do what's right & cover him for what he is, an effing monster.instead it was 2 sides for everything.Bc of that I'll never watch or trust again.🤷♀️
That is so true. It was heartbreaking to see what was done to Biden after one bad night. He is a good man and has done a lot of good for Americans and the world.
Trump doesn’t deserve to be in the same room and it was disgraceful to see him at Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
I couldn't agree with you more. I kinda still feel bitter about what they did to Biden,no doubt he'll go down as 1 of the best Presidents in history. In truth,I voted for Kamala but I knew she wouldn't win. But I'd bet my 🏡 #Biden would of beat him twice. He was driven out for a debate. Shameful!
And he's not wrong: A lot of Americans *just don't care.* (They might if trump turns the military on them, but by then, it will be too late.) God help us all.
Big fan of Michael fanone and you too Joy. I have not abandoned MSNBC but I kind of watch my viewing. I don't watch as much as I used to. I don't want to be as upset as I have been since 2015. I am 76 years old and I want to live at least some years in peace
I do miss watching Nicolle. But I don’t think that even nightly Rachel will bring me back. Joe and Mika kinda broke my heart.
So glad you’re active on BlueSky!
That was the straw for me as far as not going back. TBH, I shut it off the evening of Nov. 5, watching Kornacki at the big board, and his obvious discomfort at having to match the chyron and call states for Trump with only one or two percent of the vote in. Haven’t turned on MSNBC since.
Sorry Joy, but fuck cable media. It doesn't matter what Fanone says, the media sees our lives as a big game where the media would rather count points than actually report the news
I actually put on for first time in months, just for hearing wrap up and glad, as I saw Michael Fanone. The first hour made me almost turn off, but for @rieckhoff.bsky.social. Wondering when Claire is going to take the rose colored glasses off. I miss you Joy Reid.
I watch after 4 pm...especially you. He is right, they are mediocre fragile wimps bowing to the will of a FELON! We are in trouble if all the nominees can get confirmed.
I can’t take the “ Trump is the worst” 24/7 on msnbc on the shows I respect. I know and yet this crazy country wanted him back. And the morning show is just sad now.
Trump’s victory in the 2024 election was a failure for the United States as both a nation and a country. He has contempt for democracy and the Constitution. He is threatening to rule as the country’s dictator on “day one.” he means it literally and figuratively. https://www.salon.com/2025/01/14/t...
I'm still not sure why that guy is seen as such a hero when he admitted to voting for Trump in 2016 and 2020.
Has anybody asked him if he voted for him in 2024?
No, I’m not watching.Or listening. Nor will I going forward. I hope you and Nicole Wallace join up with others and start something new. The market needs it. But I won’t go back to MSM
I watch Nicolle, you, Rachel, and Lawrence. I watched him and could sense his anger and disgust. He's 💯 that the American people are responsible for where we are at this point in time.
I have not watched a single cable news show since the election. I just cannot bring myself to do it . I am staying as informed as possible by listening to NPR and reading Reuters or AP. MSM needs to get their shit together and fight bc we are in this shit show together , ain't we ?
I have to admit I never watched Joe and Mica much. I don’t even know what all this is about to be honest.
But I do love so many of the rest of the team. I will continue to watch them. Love you, Joy and of course Rachel. I absolutely adore Lawrence. So witty and sharp.
miss you Joy, but I don't want to see anything about trump—frustration followed by a feeling of helplessness.
dismantle, ridicule, and hate them; it doesn't matter how stupid we think they are. They won!
YouTubeTV is saving all of YOUR shows, as well as Rachel's & Nicolle's along with Ali Velshi and Katie Phang's weekend shows. Appreciate when you let us know when something extraordinary is on.. otherwise, resentments build over other Comcast choices. You've banned the "Breaking News" chyron, right?
I watch your show, even if I don’t want to listen I turn it on so my view shows up. You’re one of only two shows I watch, and I no longer leave news on in the background because I refuse to contribute positive data to hosts that obey in advance or all but ignore certain topics.
Some of us still watch a few that still have a spine; Nicole, Lawrence, the weekend morning trio & you. However the network either cleans house or will continue to bleed.
I listened and watched both Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn a few days ago on a podcast with Adam Kinzinger. Nothing they said surprised me but everything they said saddened me to tears. Again I'm glad you are here.
Sorry Joy, loved your show, Nicole’s & Rachel’s but can’t bear to hear anything about your incoming monster of a president. Unfortunately people all over the world have to live through this shameful criminal your country has voted in! The antics of Morning Joe and MSM did not help either.
aaaaand Loving It (Max Smart)... I almost never miss Deadline Whitehouse, and DEF never miss your show Joy. Your humor always puts the caring in the scaring!
Oh I had it tuned in...he has every right to denigrade #45 after what he's been through....the photos of him in the hospital are devastating...tasered several times, heart attack, beaten with a flag pole...Michael Fanone was and is a hero.
I'll be back 1/20. Appreciate you understanding we need the break. Just don't want to think about him until I have to. I'm sorry you don't have that luxury. I have been following you on the one that might go away next week though. You're the best at diplomatically saying like it is. I love it!
I start watching at 4 PM. @nicolewallacebr.bsky.social Deadline White House is a don't miss show. I skip the hip-hop hour and then check back in at 7 PM for the good prime time lineup.
It's the 4 hours of crap in the morning that is bringing down the network.
Michael Fanone, true American
hero, doesn't have a fearful bone in his body. Plus, his clear love for his Mom, who has been threatened and assaulted by the Felon in Chief's supporters, is particularly commendable.
Haven’t turned on a news channel since mid nov. it’s all entertainment, very little actual news. Just panels of people fighting for entertainment value.
Since the election, FOX News captured 72% of the cable news audience in primetime as MSNBC and CNN ushered in historic declines. In primetime, MSNBC has seen 65% of its A25-54 audience flee the channel with the network delivering only 51,000 in A25-54 and 576,000 in viewers (-57%).
You're right. Not watching cable news, especially not any network whose hosts have bent the knee (Joe & Mika). Sorry Michael Fanone. Maybe contact @meidastouch.bsky.social or any other independent journalists for those of us not interested in supporting cable networks anymore. 🤔🤷♀️
To repeat: p 11 Smith rpt: Georgia was the only state official small mushroom called. Made no calls to any other state office but could have-knew he lost.
I agree. I don't need updates on his cray. We are well aware of who and what he is. Nothing to be gained by seeing or hearing him. Haven't watched any cable or main news since nov.5.
Michael Fanone dog walked Donald Trump. By the way, I watched your show a couple times a week but I’m not ready to come back yet. Many in the media failed us. Not you though. Thank you for understanding.
If you have a way to message this brave officer, please let I’m know we love and respect him. Thank him for defending our democracy, he is a true Hero💙

Wearing a big red tie for attention
Masculinity is gentle, kind, bold, willing to be second to others, it is service, and it is not judgmental of others.
Fellow guys, we won’t win this fight if we immediately dive
Masculinity is ours to define and frankly it’s going to blend easily with a good definition of femininity.
I think Masculinity needs to be re-marketed as something along the lines of “brave, honest, reliable, competent, humble, and willing to serve others”
I don’t need to make fun of his appearance but at the same time I understand why people slip into that as shorthand
Love you Joy!
Since that action was apparently fine and wonderful with the suits running the place, I quit
There are a few others there that also should have been gone a long time ago
I'll be back when the "Obey in Advance" crew gets bounced

you failed us
Trump doesn’t deserve to be in the same room and it was disgraceful to see him at Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
1. You
2. The Weekend
3. Rachel Maddow
4. Lawrence O'Donnell
5. Deadline White House
But not as much as I was watching prior to 11/5
So glad you’re active on BlueSky!
It was good.
https://www.salon.com/2025/01/14/t...
He is correct:
Voters didn’t care about what happened to the Capitol Police on Jan 6th 2021
Has anybody asked him if he voted for him in 2024?
I understand freedom of choice but I just don’t get this.
But I do love so many of the rest of the team. I will continue to watch them. Love you, Joy and of course Rachel. I absolutely adore Lawrence. So witty and sharp.
dismantle, ridicule, and hate them; it doesn't matter how stupid we think they are. They won!
He’s obnoxious.
Especially after the unapologetic Joe and Mika debacle.
MSNBC is not on our side, they just hire people who are.
We still very much value your updates here on Bluesky.
It's the 4 hours of crap in the morning that is bringing down the network.
hero, doesn't have a fearful bone in his body. Plus, his clear love for his Mom, who has been threatened and assaulted by the Felon in Chief's supporters, is particularly commendable.
Our own voted for Iran, China, Russia's ally with T. 40% people are blind to him. & the USA election is for Kamala truth.
So why are we just whining in here?
If y'all would stop broadcasting Emperor Dolt's (aka ED) photo & voice please. Why do you do that? Not necessary to reporting in MOST circumstances
