Delaney Hall Exposes the Real America

Trump's $1.8 Billion Slush Fund Halted

CBC Asks Corporations to Defend Voting Rights

With the Voting Rights Act in tatters, will corporate America reaffirm their commitment to our right to vote? The Congressional Black Caucus thinks they might… 

 

Our second guest, Congressman Jonathan Jackson of Illinois’ 1st district, is calling on Costco, Microsoft, John Deere, Apple, Ford, McDonalds, and others to do more. 

 

Our first guest is Maryam Jazini Dorcheh, Senior Director of Litigation for Common Cause, and one of the lead attorneys challenging Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund. 

 

Trump is setting up a $1.7 billion fund to compensate “victims” of President Biden’s so-called “lawfare,” including folks convicted of crimes related to January 6th. Some Republicans have spoken out against the fund, which faces legal challenges.

Where Are the REAL Allies? | Angela Rye SoloPod

Black college athletes have been asked by the NAACP to boycott—to refuse to play for teams in Southern states that support redistricting, particularly SEC teams. Meanwhile, the Score Act threatens Black college athletes' right to profit from their NIL (name-image-likeness), showing us exactly why we need this boycott. Our hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum explain everything you need to know about the SEC boycott, NIL, and the Save Act.
