The Joy Reid Show

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, The Democratic Party swept the 2026 Midterms in a major way. As we head towards January when our new House and Senate will be officially sworn in, the question on all of our lips is: now that the Democrats have been handed so much power, how will they wield it?

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, Muslim Derangement Syndrome is sweeping members of both the Republican and Democratic party.

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, there is something deeply disturbing about billionaires, perhaps some of the biggest beneficiaries of government assistance, doing every single thing in their power to not only rob working folks of any aid they are entitled to, but to also try and convince us that we don't need it. Well we here at TJRS strongly disagree. The rampant thievery that has taken place this...
