“Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order” is the story of one of the most shocking decisions in American history: the executive order to target and round up innocent citizens, Japanese Americans, at the outbreak of World War II. This six-episode narrative podcast will examine and shed new light on how that policy came to be, who was behind it, who attempted to stop it, and the heroism needed to end the policy for good. Brazen lies and stereotypes about a minority group being pushed by senior government officials. Desperate efforts to prevent the policy from going into place. A community terrorized on the streets by the U.S. military, grabbed from their homes and sent to faraway, hastily built detention camps. Government reports gathered up and set on fire to suppress the truth behind the policy. And a bombshell discovery in the unlikeliest of places that would ultimately expose it all. This is the story of the American government’s decision to pursue and carry out an extreme and unconstitutional policy against its own citizens, and it’s the story of what it finally took to stop it. Rachel Maddow’s previous narrative podcasts — “Bag Man,” “Ultra,” and “Ultra: Season 2” — all reached #1 on the Apple podcast charts and have received an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Journalism Award, a Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism, and most recently, a 2025 national Edward R. Murrow Award. Her new series, “Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order,” premieres December 1, 2025.

Democrats are looking to regain power, and whether it is the urgency for generational change, the right approach to fighting back or the issues that should be front and center, there is a whole lot of warranted debate about what a winning formula looks like. The Blueprint is a forum where those discussions take place. Jen Psaki sits down with some of the biggest names on the left side of the political spectrum to talk about confronting Trump 2.0 and how the Democratic party can succeed at shaping the future they’d like to see. This is a space for thought-provoking, honest discourse where Jen goes beyond political talking points to determine “the Blueprint” for what lies ahead.

To understand the partisanship and bitterness of American politics today, you have to consider what happened in 1994. Steve Kornacki steps back from the Big Board to tell the origin story of the 1994 Republican “revolution,” the midterm election when the GOP took the House majority for the first time in four decades. It was set in motion by Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich, who — over the course of 15 years — pushed Republicans in a direction of confrontation and conservatism. Steve talks with Newt’s allies and adversaries about backroom strategy sessions and dramatic battles on the House floor. As yet another midterm threatens to upend the political landscape, Kornacki hears echoes of 1994 everywhere.
