Trump's DOJ sent a warning to state officials in all 50 states and the District of Columbia that they could face criminal prosecution over noncitizen voting and will send election monitors to 15 jurisdictions in six states during the 2026 primary season. 
 
We'll examine a new, comprehensive, multiracial study of the disaffected electorate that shows they are reachable. We'll talk to one of the lead researchers about the findings. 
 
Civil Rights Attorney Harry Daniels is here to talk about two cases:
A Black North Carolina woman is suing a Gaston County Police Department officer and an Advanced Auto Parts employee for a wrongful arrest that left her jobless and homeless. 
And a Black Delaware family wants the body cam video released of the police shooting of 19-year-old Kadir Skinner, who was shot in the back. 
 
The stepmother of one of the white teens who was with Nolan Wells before he disappeared explains why she deactivated her social media. 
 
The twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "the Con" Trump, is promoting what he's calling the Freedom Fuel Network, which claims to have the lowest gas prices. But is there a financial connection to the grifter occupying the Oval Office?
 
And we'll replay my conversation with Virginia's first black House Speaker, Don Scott, when we attended the Virginia Democrats' 2026 Blue Commonwealth Gala

Washington, D.C., is experiencing a "summer surge" of National Guard and federal law enforcement in preparation for the nation's 250th Independence Day celebrations. We'll speak with an activist who argues that these aggressive enforcement efforts are causing more harm than good.
 
A new report from the ACLU reveals that law enforcement agencies in areas that were previously under Justice Department oversight continue to engage in the same problematic behaviors that led to federal scrutiny in the first place. The lead author of the report will join us to discuss these findings.
 
The economy added far fewer jobs than expected last month, while unemployment rates among Black men and women showed a slight decline. Economist Morgan Harper will explain whether this trend is a positive development.
 
Poor white MAGA supporters are realizing that the Trump Administration has misled them. Antiracism educator Tim Wise will break down why they continue to support a regime that does not have their best interests at heart. 
 
And a white Republican Pennsylvania State Representative claims that the Black House Speaker ejected him from the chamber. Joanna McClinton will be here to share her perspective on the situation.
