Her coverage of all things related to the sociopath in our WH has been on target. I watch her show when I can.

She also did a great job detailing the Koch Brothers and all the organizations they own or support, including CATO. This was some time ago.

I am hoping she covers the rump's announcement on reviewing the status of Federal lands for future business explotation. Coal and other mining, cutting down all the forests, chemical pollution. Rachel knows where the Koch Bros. have invested in these profit centers, like Georgia Pacific and the production of chemical formaldyhide
