All MSNBC Lineup Changes & Shakeup After Joy Reid's Exit
has undergone major lineup changes after Rebecca Kutler officially assumed the position of the network president earlier this month. This includes the cancellation of Joy Reid's 7 p.m. show The ReidOut and her departure from the network, a new trio as co-hosts for The Weekend, and the current co-hosts of the aforementioned shows moving to weekdays at 7:00 p.m.
Kutler unveiled the changes in the lineup to the MSNBC staff through a memo on Monday, February 24. 'I had hoped to share this with all of you directly and understand the frustration that you first learned about this over the weekend and not from me,' she explained, acknowledging the concerns of the network employees. Here is the list of new changes at MSNBC:
MSNBC canceled Joy Reid's The ReidOut, with the final episode airing on Monday. Kutler's memo also confirmed that Reid was leaving the network.
Alex Wagner Tonight, which aired on the network at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays-Fridays, also came to an end. However, Wagner will remain with the network as a political contributor.
Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Symone Sanders Townsend, the current co-hosts of The Weekend, will now serve as the presenters of a new ensemble news program on weekdays at 7 p.m. The Monday edition of this program will be two hours long.
The live programming on the weekends will have an additional two hours. The new trio of co-hosts of The Weekend will include MSNBC host and The Washington Post contributor Jonathan Capehart. Further, MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin will be one of the anchors of a new evening edition of the program.
Jen Psaki will now host the 9:00 pm show from Tuesdays to Fridays.
The Rachel Maddow Show will once again air at the 9:00 pm slot on Mondays.
Ana Cabrera Reports will be expanded for an hour and will now air from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Moreover, Chris Jansing Reports will now air from 12:00 pm to 2 pm and Katy Tur Reports from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
Ali Velshi's program will now be three hours long on the weekends.
MSNBC will seek to consolidate its broadcasting in New York and Washington, D.C. with the network setting up a standalone Washington bureau. It also closed the curtains on shows produced in Miami, including José Díaz-Balart Reports and The Katie Phang Show. However, Díaz-Balart will continue to serve as an NBC anchor, while Phang will now work as a legal correspondent for MSNBC.
Kutler announced that all these changes will be implemented from late April 2025.

Satellite images show strikes' impact on Iran nuclear sites
Satellite images released Sunday show the impact of U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which President Trump announced on Saturday evening. Using B-2 bombers dropping 'bunker buster' bombs, submarines, Tomahawk missiles and more, the U.S. attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, stepping into conflict between Iran and Israel. U.S. bombs targeted three nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. Between pre-strike and post-strike satellite photos featuring the Isfahan nuclear site from Maxar Technologies, according to The Associated Press, widespread damage can be seen to much of the infrastructure of the site. Another set of pre-strike and post-strike photos featuring the Fordow nuclear site from Maxar Technologies, according to The Associated Press, show a darkening of the landscape, as well as craters and ash. In a late Saturday address, the president said, 'Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.' On Sunday, he reiterated the point on Truth Social, saying, 'Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!' Vice President JD Vance said during a Sunday morning interview on NBC's 'Meet the Press' that the U.S. set the Iranian nuclear program 'back substantially.' 'We destroyed the Iranian nuclear program,' he said. 'I think we set that program back substantially. And we did it without endangering the lives of the American pilots.'

Trump says he's open to regime change in Iran; Vance, Rubio say that's not the goal
A day after the U.S. military bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, President Trump said he might desire a broader 'regime change' in Iran. Just hours after Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States did not want 'regime change' in Iran, President Donald Trump said that might be a desired outcome. 'It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!,' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on June 22 as Mideast tensions continued to escalate the day after the U.S. military bombed three Iranian nuclear sites. Trump's post signaling an openness to new leadership in Tehran followed his vice president and secretary of State appearing on the Sunday morning talk shows arguing the U.S. focus was not at launching a war with Iran. "We don't want a regime change," Vance told NBC's Meet the Press. "We want to end the nuclear program, and then we want to talk to the Iranians about a long-term settlement here." During an interview with CBS's Face the Nation, Rubio said the U.S. had a very specific mission in mind to take out Iranian nuclear facilities and that the onus is now on Tehran showing an interest in diplomacy. 'There are a lot of regimes around the world that we don't like, okay?,' Rubio said. 'But in this particular case, what we are focused on is not the changing of the regime.' Five days before ordering the U.S. airstrikes, Trump on June 16 threatened Iran's supreme leader on social media and followed up a short while later with another two-word post: "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" In his remarks from the White House announcing the U.S. bombing operation on June 21, Trump said he wanted to 'stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror.' 'Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,' Trump said. 'For 40 years, Iran has been saying, "Death to America, Death to Israel."

Trump floats regime change in Iran
President Trump floated the possibility of "regime change" in Iran on Sunday in a post to his Truth Social account. "It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!" the president wrote. Why it matters: This is the first time Trump has raised the possibility of regime change in Iran since Israel launched its war ten days ago — and the U.S. joined with airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites on Saturday. Trump has criticized the neo-conservative faction of the Republican Party for years over their support for regime changes in Iraq, Iran and other places around the world. Driving the news: The president's post is a departure from the rest of his administration, which has stressed multiple times over the last several days that its goal is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and that the U.S. is not pushing for regime change in Iran. Vice President Vance said on Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press" that the administration's view "has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." "We do not want to protract this or build this out any more than it's already been built out. We want to end their nuclear program, and then we want to talk to the Iranians about a long-term settlement here," Vance said. Between the lines: An Iran regime change has become an unstated goal of the Israeli government since the war began earlier this month. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu even said it could be one of the results of the war. Yes, but: There has been no significant uprising against the Iranian regime since the war began, and experts have mentioned a dynamic of rallying around the flag in Iran — even among Iranians who are critical of the regime. State of play: Trump also wrote on his Truth Social account on Sunday that the damage to the Iran nuclear sites targeted by U.S. airstrikes "is said to be monumental" and that the hits "were hard and accurate."
