Louisiana Republicans approved a new congressional map that eliminated one of the state’s two majority-Black districts and drew an additional Republican-leaning district in its place.  That majority-Black district is currently represented by Congressman Cleo Fields, who’ll join us tonight. 

A federal judge ruled that the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald “The Con” Trump, could not rename or close the Kennedy Center, finding that the board violated clear legal guidelines.  Another federal judge blocked payouts from the Trump administration’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.”

A Black Texas teen’s trial for murder begins on Monday.  We’ll preview the case of The State of Texas vs. Karmelo Sincere Anthony, the Black teen who stabbed a white teen at a track meet in April 2025. 

And we’ll show you some white folks who love to fuck around and find out when messing around with Black folks who are just trying to live.
