Tonight, in Politics Nation, political and legal battles are raging over how far President Trump can go in remaking the entire government in his image.

Using his billionaire tech buddy Elon Musk as muscle, Trump has targeted agencies like the Treasury and U.S. AID, trying to push out thousands of workers he doesn't like and eliminate scores of programs he disagrees with—regardless of whether he has the legal authority to do so.

Trump and Musk's smash-and-grab tactics have mobilized Democrats to push back, leading to shocking scenes of elected lawmakers being locked out of vital government agencies. Even unelected henchmen from Musk's doge committee are allowed to run wild inside.

We'll have the latest on all of it ahead. Plus, this week's civil rights summit zeroes in on the fight for the soul of America's schools as the Trump administration tries to terminate the Department of Education and radically transform the way we teach our children about race.
