About the Event
As the country barrels toward the 2026 midterm elections, one place sits at the center of it all: Texas. From fiercely contested elections to landmark legislative fights and courtroom battles with national consequences, Texas has become the place where the country’s biggest political questions are tested and where the ripple effects are felt coast to coast. So this year, MS NOW is taking our annual fan event to the Lone Star State. “Together in Texas: We the People 2026” will bring together our trusted journalists and dedicated audience for a day-long community gathering in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
The event will feature conversations with top newsmakers, insights from your favorite MS NOW hosts and unprecedented opportunities for interaction and connection with the entire MS NOW community. Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, Jen Psaki, Stephanie Ruhle, Ali Velshi, Ari Melber, Chris Hayes, Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez, Jacob Soboroff, Eugene Daniels, Michael Steele, Luke Russert and Rev. Al Sharpton will all be there.
We’ll also be hosting the limited-seating “We the People Community Dinner,” offering even more opportunities to connect with our MS NOW hosts and fellow fans. There will be an up-close-and-personal conversation between Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki answering audience questions, a live taping of the podcast “Clock It with Symone & Eugene,” and an interactive audience segment with Jacob Soboroff.
Finally, each ticket to “Together in Texas” comes with a special offer for one year of free access to MS NOW’s new Membership. This forthcoming Membership experience will bring MS NOW fans closer to our hosts and to each other, with real-time connections and exclusive content you can’t get on-air.
Everything is bigger in Texas, including the stakes. The conversations happening here today will shape the debates, elections, and decisions that define tomorrow. Join MS NOW and a community committed to understanding the moment as it unfolds, asking the hard questions, and engaging with the stories that will chart the country’s path forward.
