7.16.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump’s Voter Data Grab, Guard Exits LA, Judge Strikes Down Medical Debt Rule, CARES & U‑FIGHT Act
The Trump administration and its allies are pushing to obtain voter data from states and inspect voting equipment. We'll discuss the implications with the Director of the Voting Rights Project.
Two thousand National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles over a month ago, following protests against immigration enforcement raids, are being withdrawn.
A federal judge strikes down a Biden administration rule removing medical debt from credit reports. We'll talk with a former Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau about what this means for consumers.
National CARES is a pioneering initiative tackling the devastating impact of intergenerational poverty. We'll speak with the organization's new president about their mission and impact.
This week, Senator Angela Alsobrooks and Congresswoman Shontel Brown introduced the U-FIGHT Act, a bold step toward expanding early detection and funding research to save the lives of Black women. Congresswoman Brown and a medical expert will be here to discuss the importance of this Act, especially for black women.
