8.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Texas Dems Set to Return; Gen. Lee High Name Restored; Sonya Massey Law; Trump Extends DC Crackdown
 
Texas Democrats say they're set to return to the state after blocking a controversial redistricting vote. We'll speak with one of the state representatives who fled Texas to protest the legislation.
Also in Texas, the Midland Independent School District's board of trustees has voted to restore the name of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to a local high school--reversing a decision made just five years ago.
 

In Illinois, change is coming after the heartbreaking police shooting of Sonya Massey last summer. Governor JB Pritzker has signed the Sonya Massey Bill into law. We'll talk to the family's attorney about what this legislation means.
 
Plus, three days into his federal takeover of Washington, D.C., Donald Trump says he plans to extend the crackdown beyond its 30-day limit--with or without Congress. We'll talk to a Black author who says this is part of a long history of criminalizing Black cities in America.
