7am: On Friday, President Trump hosted President Putin in Alaska to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine with the hopes of brokering a peace deal. However, the nearly three-hour meeting ended without a ceasefire or peace agreement. Now, just hours after the summit, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy announced his plans to travel to Washington on Monday. Richard Haass and Celeste Wallander join "The Weekend" to discuss. Then, Richard Engel joins "The Weekend" from Kharkiv, Ukraine, with reaction from the region.

8am: Late on Friday, California Democrats released proposed maps that would likely flip five Republican-held seats, giving Democrats 48 of the state's 52 districts, up from 43. It's a direct counter to Republican gains that Texas Republicans are proposing. State lawmakers will vote on the plan next week.  Additionally, Texas Democrats plan to return home after leaving the state in protest of the Republican redistricting plan. But the nationwide redistricting fight is far from over, with President Obama offering his support to the Texas Democrats, as well as the DNC organizing "Fight the Trump Takeover" protests in 43 states to condemn Trump-backed redistricting. And as they return to Austin, Texas Democrats are getting some major backup. Democratic National Committee is planning to organize hundreds of "Fight the Trump Takeover" protests in 43 states to condemn Trump-backed redistricting. This week, former President Obama added his voice to the fight in a call with Texas Democrats. California Redistricting Commissioner Sara Sadhwani, joins The Weekend to discuss California's effort to counter Texas Republicans.

9am: Attorney General Pam Bondi pulled back her order to strip authority from Washington, DC's police chief. But that isn't stopping President Trump, who's continuing to exert his authority as hundreds of National Guard troops fan out across the city. Plus, the Trump administration warns more cities could be next. Former New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman and Washington, D.C. Shadow Senator Paul Strauss join "The Weekend" to discuss.
