Episode 36
7am: Demonstrators poured into the streets across the country yesterday for May Day protests, billed as "Workers over Billionaires." Organizers say more than 3,300 events took place in American cities from coast to coast, where protesters called for peace, higher wages, and better working conditions. MS NOW Contributor David Drucker and USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page join "The Weekend" to discuss.
8am: In the name of disentangling race from voting, the Supreme Court has made it virtually impossible for Black voters to challenge gerrymandered congressional maps. For decades, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act acted as a guardrail, preventing Southern legislatures from carving Black voters out of political power. Within hours of that ruling, states across the South began moving to redraw their maps ahead of the midterms. President and CEO of Democracy Forward Skye Perryman and Melissa Murray join The Weekend to discuss how this will affect voting and the midterms.
9am: Trump's claim came on what was the 60-day deadline for him to gain approval from Congress to continue the war with Iran. Meanwhile, in his first Capitol Hill appearances since the start of the war, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was grilled about a host of issues, including the cost of the war, which the Pentagon put at $25B dollars over two months. Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton joins The Weekend to discuss Hegseth's testimony to congress and the conflict's mounting price tag.
