The minute I heard about this I turned in and watched 3 hours of great commentary on MSNBC: All In w/Chris Hayes, Rachel, and Lawrence. I think you and Chuck Rosenburg were/are the best; and then Michael Beschloss for historical perspective. I watched all of you for years through Trump's "Presidency". Thanks for taking time to write tonight. You must be exhausted! You've earned a good night's rest.

I think they all did a great job, considering they all had to turn on a dime. Especially Alicia Menendez.

Alicia is really great and a lovely person!

Thanks for providing her name.... I think she did a great job filling in for Chris Hayes. Usually the turn-about occurs on Friday, especially in Trump years, so to see this on Monday after a momentous weekend in the Senate, took a little regrouping.

Title is a win on its own! Thanks Joyce

I don't know when you find the time for these missives, but thank you. People are pretty wound up and you manage to stay calm and give real information about processes and possible implications. You keep me grounded. Thank you. I love this little website, btw.

Thanks, Joyce. I couldn’t believe my ears after turning on MSNBC tonight. But I will avoid getting carried away … “Search-a-Lago” — good headline!👏🏼

Such a great summary of events and implications with a dollop of caution sauce. Love it!

I've been totally consumed with a big deadline, so was totally wondering what was going on. And now, thanks to you, Joyce, I know! Maybe all of the swamp scum is finally going to start sticking!

Thanks for thinking of us and sending us your initial thoughts so quickly. I must say it felt good to text the news to like-minded family members and get a “YAY” text back. It feels like those slow wheels of justice may be moving in the right direction. ~Colleen

Thank you for the cogent and precise summary. Very conservative (in the usual sense: careful) and tightly written.

I did the same. Watching all on MSNBC. I think you are right Joyce, slow down there are so many possible crimes here, this might be step one of a long line of events here. We are in new historic territory, let’s do it right and not get lost. Stay strong all

I appreciate your willingness to take the time this late to explain. I was unable to catch you earlier! I always look forward to hearing from you and B. McQuade!

Joyce! Thanks for showing us the blank search warrant. I had never seen one.

When my Twitter feed blew up, I knew we were in for a ride. I sense more than a baby fit here when Trump refused to turn over the requested “fresh” docs. There is an expected payoff...

That’s what I was waiting for. Now I can go to sleep knowing your thoughts. Thanks! Chicken names yet?

Thank you dear Joyce for reaching out to us, even with all that's on your plate at the moment. You take us to school every day, and we're smarter for it. I love your clarity, calmness, passion, and a bit of subtle humor now and then. Grateful to have you walk us through these unprecedented times!
