Drew Petrimoulx chats with The Hill’s courts and legal reporter Zach Schonfeld joins the show to talk about the latest court battles in Washington, D.C. and across the nation. They discuss a federal judge on Tuesday indefinitely blocking implementation of President Trump’s executive order effectively barring transgender people from serving openly in the military, a stark blow to the administration’s efforts to curb transgender rights.
They also debrief a federal judge ruling Tuesday that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) likely exercised unconstitutional authority “in multiple ways” in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Plus, The Hill’s White House correspondent Alex Gangitano about Rep. Mike Flood’s (R-Neb.) town hall turning raucous Tuesday night as he fielded questions from voters about Elon Musk, President Trump’s tariffs, the White House’s posture toward Ukraine and more, with attendees booing and yelling at the congressman throughout the event.

Drew Petrimoulx chats with The Hill’s White House columnist Niall Stanage about President Trump speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following Trump’s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin a day earlier in which the two discussed a limited ceasefire in the Russian-Ukraine war.
They also discuss President Trump giving a green light to Israel’s deadly strikes on Gaza early Tuesday, which shattered the fragile ceasefire in place since January, marking a violent turn in his push for peace in the Middle East.
Plus, NewsNation’s Washington, D.C. correspondent Joe Khalil walks us through Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) facing the toughest fight of his Senate leadership career amid sharp attacks from his party’s base over his vote to advance a House Republican-drafted funding bill.
