Description

11.6.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Ordered to Pay SNAP, Shutdown Chaos Deepens, Pelosi Retires, Labor Battle Builds A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to pay full SNAP benefits for November by Friday---a lifeline for more than 42 million Americans relying on food assistance. In North Carolina, new GOP-drawn congressional maps are already under fire and they could dilute Black voting power just ahead of the 2026 elections. We're now on Day 37 of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history---flights canceled, paychecks missed, families struggling and still no end in sight. We'll break down what Democrats are doing to push for a deal. Plus, the fight for labor power is heating up. The Teamsters' national election could reshape the future of the labor movement and candidate Richard Hooker Jr. is here to tell us why this race matters for working people everywhere. And after decades at the top, Nancy Pelosi is saying goodbye to Congress. Se is joining us to reflect on her historic career and legacy. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbase https://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.  This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.
