Israel, the U.S. armed outpost in West Asia, bombs Iran, assassinating several military leaders and at least one nuclear scientist. We speak to historian Gerald Horne. And here at home, the Trump administration tests the limits of executive authority by illegally calling up both the National Guard and the Marines against protesters. And the administration is still firing federal workers illegally. We hear from a union leader, and we speak to a lawyer helping them to fight back. With Gerald Horne, Mark Dimondstein, Sejal Singh, Becky Pringle, Lee Saunders, pro-immigrant and anti-ICE protesters in DC.
