During a nearly 12-hour House Rules Committee hearing Tuesday night, Florida Congressman Maxwell Frost hit a nerve with Republicans -- we'll show you what went down.

We'll talk to a North Carolina woman who says a wrongful arrest left her jobless and homeless. 

The Wisconsin Supreme Court strikes down the state's 176-year-old abortion ban.

Paramount has settled a multi-million dollar lawsuit with Trump over CBS's 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

And on tonight's Tech Talk, we'll speak to the man behind a visionary initiative that is transforming how students connect with career opportunities in STEM.

7.1.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Senate Passes Trump’s Mega Spending Plan: Medicaid Cuts, Deportations & Wealthy Tax Breaks

The Senate has passed Trump's sweeping tax and spending plan, and the stakes couldn't be higher. We're facing significant cuts to Medicaid and food assistance, massive increases in military spending, and billions more allocated for mass deportations and the border wall. At the same time, the wealthiest Americans benefit from new tax breaks.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Ohio Congresswoman Shontel Brown will be joining us to discuss the bill, the next steps in the fight to protect working families, political strategy, and the way forward.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott will provide insight into what these cuts could mean for local governments.

DNC Chair Ken Martin will share his thoughts on the bill and outline his plans to rebuild the Democratic Party.
