7am: President Donald Trump has previously stated that his goal is retribution and the DOJ seems willing to assist. Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton was seemingly added to that list when FBI agents raided his home on Friday. Anthony Coley and Tara Setmayer join The Weekend to discuss how retribution may be the largest part of how President Trump will define success in his second term. 

8am: The Pentagon has reportedly been planning a military deployment to Chicago for weeks in a model that could later be used in other major cities. President Trump indicated that Chicago would be his next target, along with New York, another Democratic-leaning city with a Black mayor. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson joins The Weekend to discuss how Trump's plan to use the National Guard will impact his city.

9am: Recent polling shows President Trump's self-proclaimed "Big Beautiful Bill" is unpopular and many constituents are imploring Democrats to push back harder against his agenda. Several Democrats see this as an opportunity to rally through red states and remind voters who is to blame when they cast their ballots this November. Representative Maxwell Frost joins "The Weekend" to discuss the reaction from his latest town hall in Omaha, Nebraska, and Democrats' messaging around the spending bill leading into the midterms.
