Plus, we’ll get into what the new reparations package could mean for Black Tulsans and the push for reparations in other cities.

The Bulwark Podcast - Andrew Weissmann: Outlandish and Outrageous

Trump is outright fabricating a justification for sending Guard troops into Los Angeles, and his directive is not limited only to LA. So, if someone acts violent during a 'No Kings' protest on Saturday somewhere in America, would he deploy the National Guard there too? The potential chilling effect on our First Amendment rights to protest is enormous. Plus, masks are liberating ICE agents to act with impunity, Kash is a thin-skinned beta cuck, and the new self-appointed chair of the Kennedy Center was greeted with a mix of boos and cheers on the opening night performance of "Les Miz."

Andrew Weissmann joins Tim Miller.

Newshour - At least 200 killed as Air India plane to London crashes moments after take-off in Ahmedabad

The local police chief tells the BBC that 204 bodies have been recovered - it's not known how many of those victims were on the plane, or were on the ground when the plane crashed. One passenger has survived, a local police chief says, with Indian media reporting he is British. The plane crashed into accommodation used by doctors. We speak to a British MP in touch with the family members of some on board.

Also on the programme: Rioting – described by the police as “racist thuggery” – in Northern Ireland. And the new images from space that are helping explain the science of the sun.
