Rachel Maddow makes the case that from the first day of his second term, Donald Trump has been engaged in "a concerted and intense targeting of Black Americans," from firings to executive orders and including his Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act, which will likely largely eliminate Black congressional representation in the American South. 

Rachel Maddow looks at new polling that shows Donald Trump is abysmally unpopular with Americans, and shares an example of how the slashing of government employees, touted as "efficiency" at the time, is being reveals to be nothing more than breaking the government so it can't function correctly anymore when Americans are counting on it.

Rachel Maddow describes the importance of the U.S. military bases in Germany, including in playing a role in supporting Trump's war on Iran. For reasons that are hard to discern, Donald Trump wants to yank 5,000 troops from those bases. This decision happens to come shortly after Trump spoke on the phone with Vladimir Putin. This is not the first time that sequence of events has happened.

Sophia Lin Lakin, director of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project, talks with Rachel about the legal battle to prevent the elimination of Black congressional representation in the American South in the wak of the Supreme Court's dismantling of the Voting Rights Act.

The Trump administration "would prefer to do things that are easy," Rachel Maddow points out. And so, by making the implementation of a nationwide immigrant prison system not at all easy, and, in fact, quite hard, Americans pushing back against Trump's plan are winning, and Trump's prisons are not opening. 

Michael Wriston, co-founder of Project Salt Box, and Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, talk with Rachel Maddow about their new project, GTFOICE.org, which is designed to help Americans mobilize against the construction of immigrant prisons in their local area.

Rachel Maddow points out that the to the extent that the security breach at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner is a crisis for the Secret Service, it is only one of many crises that have come to characterize Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security.

And Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, talks with Rachel Maddow about the upcoming May Day protests and the progress of American activism in the Trump era.
