THIS EPISODE: Russia offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan, NBC News has confirmed. Political strategist and advisor to the Lincoln Project Steve Schmidt joins Joy Reid to discuss allegations that Donald Trump knew about this, and did nothing, telling AM JOY, ‘What a rancid moment in the life of the American nation.’ PLUS: Joy Reid is joined by Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin who asserts, ‘Donald Trump has once more laid down at the feet of Vladimir Putin.’ THEN: A judge has ordered ICE to release all children from detention due to the coronavirus outbreak, as advocates push for their parents to be released with them. Rep. Pramila Jayapal joins Joy Reid to discuss what actions she and other advocates are pushing the Trump administration to take. NEXT: Mississippi has moved to drop the confederate emblem from its state flag, a sign that as confederate emblems fall, the U.S. could be deeply changing. AND: The D.C. statehood push continues despite likely Senate GOP resistance, as the governing body’s majority appears to be braced to block the momentum from the House in support of the capital city’s equal representation. D.C. ‘Shadow' Sen. Paul Strauss joins us to discuss. FINALLY: Trump and Mitch McConnell are apparently working together to place as many federal judges as possible, as these GOP-appointed judges will shape courts for decades. Judith Browne Dianis, executive director of the Advancement Project, explains the fallout that could ensue. All this and more in this Sunday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
