Summary
7.8.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS OKs Fed Layoffs, Medicaid Farmworker Mandate, PSLF Shakeup, Deltas in DC & Leafy Bamboo TP
The Supreme Court has just cleared the way for the Trump administration to restart massive layoffs across nearly two dozen federal agencies. We'll break down what this means for federal workers and services.
The Trump administration is now signaling that able-bodied adults on Medicaid may soon be expected to replace undocumented farmworkers, as mass deportations ramp up across the country.
Also tonight, we'll break down what "the orange one" has in store for your loan forgiveness programs. The proposed changes to Public Service Loan Forgiveness could hit borrowers hard. We'll speak with an expert about what's at stake and how it could impact millions of Americans.
The ladies of crimson and cream are taking over Washington, D.C., this week for the 57th National Convention of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. We'll speak with the sorority's international president about the significance of this historic gathering.
And in tonight's Marketplace segment, we're spotlighting Leafy--an eco-friendly brand that's reinventing everyday essentials, starting with bamboo toilet paper.
