19:59Now PlayingMissouri Republicans, under pressure from Donald Trump, are moving to eliminate the Kansas City seat held by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver. The proposed map splits a historic Black neighborhood into three districts, described as a “racist attack” and a direct assault on Black political representation. With Democrats in a superminority, Republicans can pass it without a single Democratic vote while running a $30,000‑a‑day special session “to lick the boot of Donald Trump.” The stakes are clear: carve up Kansas City, gut Black voting power.
