6.2.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Texas GOP Gerrymander, Tulsa’s $105M Road to Repair, Joni Ernst & Moral Monday Arrest
MAGA strikes again, in Tarrant County, Texas, commissioners are set to vote on a new political map after two months of debate over whether Republicans are trying to politically or racially gerrymander the county.
Tulsa's first Black mayor, Monroe Nichols, is unveiling a bold new initiative--The Road to Repair. We'll talk to the mayor and Civil Rights Attorney, and Justice for Greenwood founder Damario Solomon-Simmon about the $105 million investment to help restore what was stolen from Black families impacted by the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
Republican Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa is under scrutiny for her handling of voter concerns at a recent town hall.
A federal appeals court has blocked a Trump-era attempt to slash thousands of federal jobs, ruling that the former president overstepped. We'll discuss the impact.
It's Moral Monday! Rev. Dr. William J. Barber will share details about his arrest today and explain how they are standing against Trump's budget, which threatens to harm the most vulnerable among us.
