New charges in the case of George Floyd. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison increased the murder charge for Derek Chauvin to second-degree murder and also charged the other three officers present at the time with aiding and abetting second-degree murder. Kim Bellware, reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for more on these new charges.




Next, there are approximately 1,600 active duty U.S. Army troops waiting for a possible deployment into the streets of Washington D.C. to restore order if protests get out of hand. President Trump would have to enact the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy them, but the plan has been met with opposition by many including Defense Secretary Mark Esper. Nancy Youssef, national security correspondent at the WSJ, joins us for the plan to activate the military.




Finally, the coronavirus pandemic has reduced public education in the U.S. to a shell of its former self. A Reuters survey of several school districts found that students aren’t having enough facetime with teachers, some districts don’t even take attendance for online classes, and access to classes is also difficult at times. Michael Pell, reporter at Reuters, joins us for how schools have been affected.
