Late Night with Seth Meyers

I think Alex is doing a great job in the old “Rachel “ time slot.
I am so happy with her show and love the way she presents the facts. Thank you for all the hard work.

Florida school libraries should have a list of all the books that _they are not allowed to have, _ displayed on their doors and windows … so that students will be *curious* and find them online.
Ban a book and people will want to read it just because it's banned.

[MakerOfChase]

So you're telling me that Florida expects teachers who are already paid peanuts now have to worry about not only being shot by their students but also catching a felony for doing their job? AND WE WONDER WHY TEACHERS WOULD RATHER DRIVE FOR UBER?

[ivyinabottle]

As a Burmese, it is so cool to see someone like Alex Wagner on primetime cable doing such important work!!

[mungodegrijalva]

She's delightful, professional, super smart, a pioneer & humble. Thank you for featuring her. Yes, we need more Asians (& Latinos) in major media news outlets.

[davec]

Alex is a divine intellectual! What a fine human being!

[tomthomas]

If a fascist like Ron DeSantis condemns you, you must be doing something good. Keep up the great work, Alex & Seth!

[jamila]

She's delightful and I wish her the best!

[THMILLER]

I am such a fan of hers, she is a great host.
Always in my ear on my drive to work here in Europe.

[bucket]

I live in FL and it's getting scary.

[jumpyonthehill]

Maybe Florida shouldn't be where people go to spend money

[uwcb]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite journalists.

"This is where woke goes to die." Ron, time for a checkup. Your oil is obviously low. Great interview, Seth Meyers! Alex is such a great addition to MSNBC!

[jimlarsonify]

What a good guest! She is so natural and funny, she should be a regular guest!

[thesoundsmith]

When you are totally incompetent, have NO plan to actually DO anything that looks like governance but demand total obeisance and obedience, you MUST be a Florida Fascist. (Unless you're from Texass. the OTHER White Meat.)

[michellecampbell]

She is so incredibly smart, funny, wise, and beautiful. Just love Alex!

[JohnDoe-jhyr]

Messing with education is an attempt to change history.

[KtotheL]

All I know is I'm a taxpayer and I've lived in Florida for 30 years and I've never liked any of the governors we've had cuz they were all garbage. Basically varying levels of occasionally finding a recyclable. It continues today this should be enough of us that have a brain on our shoulders that can stand up to these people. If we need backing we should have the money available because of what they've done with Disney and that could be a good thing for this cause. What we need to do is turn things around and head on into the future not move back into the past.

[mossydog]

Is Ron pulling these political stunts because he's running for president or Imperial Wizard?

[Mondfischli]

... about time for desantis to grow a toothbrush -moustache 🤔
