    On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': The Opposition. From the court of public opinion to the judiciary itself, the pushback against President Trump's war on the rule of law is growing, including at the Supreme Court, which early this morning, blocked the Trump Administration from carrying out more deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, for now. Lee Gelernt, the ACLU's lead counsel in the case, joins me to discuss this consequential case and the response we just got from the administration. Rising Up. As anti-Trump demonstrators take to the streets across the country again, I'll ask Rep. Madeleine Dean why her packed town hall this week moved her to tears. And Never Surrender.

    On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Tariff Twist. The Trump administration announces new exemptions to reciprocal tariffs, including smartphones, computers and other consumer electronics, bringing U.S. tech companies back from the edge of a cliff, for now. But tariff policies still threaten other American businesses, not to mention faith in the U.S. economy. Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan joins me to talk about that, and the Republican spending plan that threatens the social safety net. Retribution Orders. Another stunning legal week, with the President using executive authority to target private citizens, while Supreme Court rulings leave room for the White House to defy the judicial branch. What it all means for the rule of law. And we warned y'all. While thousands of shocked Americans take to the streets to protest Trump's chaotic and harmful agenda, author Christina Greer is here to explain why Black Americans are not surprised.

Thousands take to the streets across the country to protest the extreme Trump Agenda, from market-busting tariffs to devastating cuts to federal agencies and more.

Political analyst Charlie Sykes and former Biden White House official Andrew Bates weigh in on whether this week was a defining moment for the GOP. Fear Factor.

Former Senators Doug Jones and Debbie Stabenow will tell me how Democrats can make that happen. And the Unthinkable. Five years after the police murder of George Floyd, some right-wing extremists are pushing for a pardon for his killer, Derek Chauvin.

Jane Harmon if Vladimir Putin is seriously considering a truce or just playing President Trump. And Minor Majority: House Speaker Mike Johnson needs every vote he can get with the Republican's razor-thin control of the House, so a key special election in Florida could make all the difference.
