11.18.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Texas Map Blocked, KC ‘Racist Cartel’ Case Advances, Epstein Files Vote, Memphis Guard Halted
A Texas judge blocks the GOP's new congressional map, and that could shake up the 2026 midterms. State Representative Jolanda Jones will explain how the ruling could shape the 2026 midterms.
A federal judge is allowing a major RICO case to move forward in Kansas City. We'll talk to the attorney who filed the case about the accusations of an all-white board running Westport's nightlife like a racist cartel.
The National Guard has to leave Memphis. We'll talk to a City Council member about the injunction a judge issued that stopped troops from patrolling the city.
On Capitol Hill, the House just voted 427 to 1 to release the Epstein files.
Trump's Latino support is dwindling. We'll talk to black pollster Christophe Towler about the latest poll.
In our Black Star Network Marketplace, Be Rooted, a stationery brand that celebrates and empowers women of color with bold journals and beautifully crafted planners, will make great gifts this holiday season.
