- "...who still plans to attend the Mar-a-Lago event" is the funniest part of this whole thing:
"“Nobody likes it,” said Morten Christensen, a crypto investor who still plans to attend the Mar-a-Lago event and was at the 2025 dinner. “People are losing on the coin, and they are vocal. They are the people on Twitter like, ‘Fuck this coin’ or ‘It’s a scam.’ And they’re right, basically.”"
(Politico)

RACHEL OUTSIDE THE STUDIO
|
Since Rachel has the upcoming live event at the 92nd St. Y (tickets for which are still available) we were reminded of another recent live event, which is not in the MS NOW YouTube channel, but is real nonetheless.
This is a presentation with the University of British Columbia School of Public Policy and Global Affairs as part of a series called "America First, America Alone? Global Politics in an Age of Uncertainty."
Rachel talks for a bit and then talks with moderator Heidi Tworek, director of the Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions and Professor at UBC’s School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and History Department.
The whole thing is over an hour long, so if you cant' wait for Maddow Monday, this is a good way to spend some quality time with Rachel. Relatedly, Rachel did an interview with CBC British Columbia that you might find interesting.
