Russian pro-democracy leader Garry Kasparov reacts to Trump and Putin's summit in Alaska and news that Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now set to visit the White House on Monday; President Trump's DC takeover has reignited the debate over Washington, DC statehood. Ali digs into the history of that debate and what it would mean if it came true; and renowned presidential historian Jon Meacham weighs in on the Trump Administration's new war on the Smithsonian and its threat to remove any content that doesn't align with the president's vision of America.

President Trump's take over of DC's law enforcement is an experiment to see how far he can push American cities with federal intimidation; amid Trump's trade war, newly released data shows wholesale inflation is on the rise, which means consumers could soon see higher prices in stores; some Democrats are resorting to fighting "fire with fire" as Republicans move ahead with their extreme gerrymandering plot ahead of next year's midterm elections.

Just hours after the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirms he's heading to White House for a meeting with Trump; how President Trump's DC takeover has reignited the debate over DC statehood; and Velshi Banned Book club veteran, author Angie Thomas, discusses the importance of a rare legal win against the book banning epidemic in America.
