3.5.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump's drastic VA cuts, House GOP to censure Rep. Al Green, Black Lives Matter Plaza painted over The Trump administration plans to cut over 70,000 jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. I'll speak with a retired U.S. Army Brigadier General about how this decision will impact our veterans. House Republicans are looking to punish Texas Democrat Al Green, who was removed from the House chamber for repeatedly disrupting the speech of the criminally convicted "criminal in chief." Al Green will join us in the studio. Pennsylvania Congresswoman will join us to recap last night's speech and discuss her efforts to persuade the Department of Education to rescind threats to end federal funding for schools with DEI programs. We see the Black Lives Matter yellow letter every day. We'll tell you why they will soon be erased. We'll also pay tribute to former Houston Mayor and U.S. Representative Sylvester Turner, who passed away last night. ✨Get your "Don't Blame Me ...

No charges in Leonard Cure death, Dems warn of massive Medicaid cuts, 21 DOGE staffers resign
2.25.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: No charges in Leonard Cure death, Dems warn of massive Medicaid cuts, 21 DOGE staffers resign A Georgia deputy will not face charges for killing an exonerated Black man during a violent traffic stop. Leonard Cure's family attorney, Harry Daniels, will discuss how the family is coping with the lack of justice. Democrats are warning Americans about the largest Medicaid cut in history. Twenty-one staff members at DOGE have resigned, refusing to participate in dismantling critical public services. White House says it will control press access to the twice impeached criminally convicted felon-in-chief Donald "The Con" Trump, rather than allowing reporters to do so. I'll explain why this is a significant issue. The Black Georgia election workers will finally see their money from disgraced Rudy Giuliani. We'll also discuss why it seems Florida Congressman Cory Millis is getting a pass on assault charges, as the MAGA D.C. Federal Attorney Ed Martin has declined to sign the arrest warrant for the lawmaker. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

Former DNC Chair destroys MAGA turncoat fundraiser “Lyin’” Lindy Li
Lindy Li, a well-known fundraiser who raised money for the Democrats' 2024 presidential campaign, left the party after her criticism of presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. During a recent interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, she admitted to who she voted for during the election despite being affiliated with the DNC. DNC chair Jamie Harrison posted this in response to Lindy's interview. ".@lindyli this is sad. You really need to stop lying and get some help. When I got out of the car at the Kamala Harris election night party at the Conrad- you were the very first person I saw. (I'll check with the film crew because maybe we even have video.) Nonetheless, you were perched by the door ready to take pictures with any celebrity type or elected official that walked in. Like a student trying to impress a professor, you joyfully rattled off how much you raised this cycle to support the campaign. You told me about hosting a fundraiser at your home and your unwavering support of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. So either you were lying then or you are lying now, but either way it just makes you out to be a liar. A very bad liar. Who in their right mind raises money for someone, travels to that candidate's election night party (in DC and not your home state of PA), but yet is so "disgusted" by that candidate you don't vote for them? @PiersUncensored @piersmorgan y'all are being hoodwinked. #CarryOnJoinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
