7am: CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired after refusing to resign.  Her attorneys said the firing came after she refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives in line with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In response, top officials at the agency quit, and hundreds of staffers staged a clap out in support. Plus, Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook has sued the Trump administration over their attempt to oust her. In an emergency hearing, the judge expressed concern over Trump's comments about securing a majority on the board. Neera Tanden and George Conway join "The Weekend" to discuss how this could impact everything from your finances to your physical health.

8am: President Trump revoked former Vice President Kamala Harris' Secret Service protection -- which raises even more questions about Trump leveraging the federal government against his critics -- along with his new threats to investigate Chris Christie and George Soros.  Former CIA Director John Brennan and Liz Oyer, former DOJ Pardon Attorney and Federal Public Defender, join "The Weekend" to discuss.

9am: The big shakeup could lead to a potentially competitive Senate race in Iowa. Iowa State Senator Zach Wahls is one of the Democratic candidates running to replace Ernst. He joins The Weekend to discuss what this could mean for the 2026 midterm elections.
