1) Ron Fein, Legal Director with the group Free Speech For People assesses the mounting evidence that Donald Trump and his regime have likely committed high crimes and misdemeanors, which many observers believe should trigger an impeachment investigation in the Republican controlled House of Representatives.

2) Alex Lawson, executive Director of Social Security Works, examines President Trump's proposed federal budget and how it will impact Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid -- as well as the work his group is doing to educate the public on the serious threat Trump poses to the nation's social safety net programs.

3) Paul Kawika Martin, Senior Director, Policy & Political Affairs with the group Peace Action, discusses both Trump's recent trip to the Middle East/Europe & the NATO Summit, and the Pentagon recommendation to deploy 5,000 additional US troops to Afghanistan.

4) Excerpt of talk by Ralph Nader accepting the 2017 Gandhi Peace Award at Yale University on April 23, 2017.
