as posted by the channel7.17.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Senate Dems Walkout, GOP $9B Aid & NPR/PBS Cuts, Prison Phone Fee Outrage & Wild Tuberville Rant
Senate Democrats stage a bold protest--walking out as Republicans push through yet another Trump-backed judicial nominee.
Next, major funding cuts are on the chopping block. GOP lawmakers vote to slash $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting--threatening the future of NPR and PBS. We'll break down what these cuts mean and why they matter.
In Louisville, outrage intensifies as the Justice Department recommends just one day in jail for the former officer convicted in the Breonna Taylor case--a decision that echoes the pain and protests of 2020. We'll hear from the Taylor family's attorney.
Tonight, we're also talking about the high cost of prison phone calls in North Carolina, where Black residents are incarcerated at four times the rate of white residents. A former FCC Commissioner joins us to discuss.
Plus--Senator Tommy Tuberville says, "If you don't want to be deported, don't hang around illegals." Seriously. We've got something to say about that.
