1.18.22 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Senate Debates Voting Legislations; Covid Surges, The Promise Homes Company, $200M Deal
The showdown has begun in the Senate over voting rights. The debate on the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act took place for the first time.

President and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation Melanie Campbell is here to talk about what happened on Capitol Hill.
The US government's website for free Covid-19 tests launched a day early, and the country continues to battle a surge in cases driven by Omicron. Tonight we'll talk to Infectious Disease expert Dr. Lane Rolling on what to expect as covid remains a public health threat.
The white cop who murdered Laquan McDonald is set to be released next month after serving just about half of his sentence.
A Florida cop assaults one of his own as she tries to prevent him from attacking a handcuffed suspect.
An investigation reveals a Virginia Police department used forged forensics to get people to confess to crimes.
