Description

11.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Longest Shutdown In History Ends, DOJ Tries To Block Calif. Map, Rev. Jesse Jackson Hospitalized LIVE from the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. I'll show you my conversation with PGA golfer Chase Johnson later in the show. Here's what else is coming up on Roland Martin Unfiltered, streaming live on the Black Star Network. The longest government shutdown in history is over. Congresswoman Lauren Underwood will explain why we should expect everything to snap back to normal. In the nation's redistricting battle, Trump's DOJ is taking legal steps to block California's new congressional map, voted on by the people. Illinois is up next in the redistricting fight. State Senator Willie Preston will explain why he is more interested in protecting Black voters than in Democratic redistricting efforts. A federal judge heard arguments to disqualify interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in the cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. They say she is improperly in her position as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The Reverend Jesse Jackson is in a Chicago hospital under observation for a neurodegenerative condition.
