    On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Cliffhanger. Congress is set to vote this week on Speaker Johnson's short-term funding bill with just days to go before a possible government shutdown. Rep. Brendan Boyle, the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, will tell me if Democrats will stand firm in their opposition and I'll also get his reaction to President Trump today refusing to rule out the possibility of a recession. Bloody Sunday. 60 years after the Selma marches that ushered in true American democracy, I'll talk with former Rep. Donna Edwards and Janai Nelson of the Legal Defense Fund about the state of civil rights today and Trump's assault on diversity. And Bad Science. The CDC plans to investigate a possible link between autism and vaccines, even though that theory has been debunked many times. Dr. Ashish Jha weighs in on that and new concerns over a measles outbreak. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

    On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Bully. President Trump is using the bully pulpit of the presidency to bend critics and the reluctant at home and abroad to his will. Ruth Ben-Ghiat will explain how this fits an authoritarian pattern. And Democratic Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove joins me to discuss Trump’s daily threats to federal workers and agencies, and his new demand of support for Speaker Johnson's new short-term spending bill to avoid a government shutdown in 6 days. D.C.'s Dilemma: The mayor of the nation's capitol, Muriel Bowser joins me for a wide-ranging conversation, from Trump’s threat of a federal takeover to why D.C.’s relationship with the President and Congress is way more fraught than any other city or state in the country. Social Insecurity. Martin O'Malley, former commissioner of the Social Security Administration, explains why he says recent cuts to the safety net for millions of seniors could collapse the program in 90 days or less. And, on Wisconsin: Another crucial race for that state's Supreme Court that could swing the ideological majority conservative. Judge Susan Crawford is running to ensure the court maintains its 4-3 liberal majortiy and explains her platform. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

    On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Showtime. President Trump is set to give his first address to a joint session of Congress after a chaotic and cruel start to his second term, including his embarrassing Oval Office ambush of an American ally. Sen. Chris Van Hollen joins me to discuss how the Democrats will respond and how this week changed everything. Crackdown: Trump signs an Executive Order making English the country's official language, a largely symbolic gesture in a nation with 42 million Spanish speakers. I'll ask Maria Hinojosa if this is really about policy or just political theater. Plot Twist: As we count down to tonight's Academy Awards, Chris Witherspoon, joins me with his predictions and details on a surprise special guest. Hint, It’s Kamala Harris!
