Air Date: 6/24/2026 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on recent news without being overwhelming! If you've been pulling back from the news for your own sanity, this one's built for you — a quick recap and reference guide to the past month or two, organized around a single idea: when power can't earn legitimacy, it manufactures it. The performance. Spectacle, religion, and health branding standing in for real consent: Trump collecting a FIFA "peace prize," Christian nationalism worn as a costume the actual church refuses to bless, and RFK Jr. dressing up a gutted vaccine agenda as "moderate," scapegoating immigrants as he goes, while the USAID cuts run up a body count. The machinery. The infrastructure that keeps the performance going while real consent drains away underneath: a legal system bent toward self-dealing and a $1.8 billion slush fund, billionaire money rewriting the rules since Citizens United, an AI gold rush sold as inevitable before anyone voted on it, and an economy booming on paper while the ground shifts under everyone's feet. The vacuum and the reclaiming. What rushes in when legitimacy collapses, from normalized political violence to a manifesto born of that collapse — and then the democratic answer: why the rupture hasn't come, why revolutions tend to devour themselves, and why the slower work wins. Nonviolent movements draw eleven times the participation, and the ballot box the Supreme Court is fighting hardest to narrow is the same one that just turned out 78% of Hungary to remove Orbán.

Jen Psaki looks at how Donald Trump failed at what should have been the easiest assignment of his presidency, celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States. And Trump even managed to blow up the signing ceremony for what should have been a no-brainer, bipartisan, American-helping housing bill. But it was in his unhinged tweets that it became clear what was really on his mind. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries discusses last night's primary elections, including the races in New York in which candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defeated candidates backed by Jeffries. Jen Psaki explains the difference between the America 250 planning to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States, and "Freedom 250," which is Donald Trump's vehicle to make America's 250th birthday about himself at to his own benefit. Senator Jon Ossoff joins to discuss how self-dealing corruption has become a hallmark of Donald Trump's presidency. Senator Elizabeth Warren talks with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump's refusal to sign a bipartisan housing bill that will help Americans struggling with the high cost of living in Trump's economy.

6.23.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Rejects Black Rastafarian. Voting Rights Purge Blocked. Police Kill 1-Year-Old_ For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland *Paid Partnership*_ The Supreme Court rules 6-3 against a Black Rastafarian man in Louisiana who had sued prison officials after they forcibly shaved off his dreadlocks, in what he said was a clear violation of his religious rights. Elie Mystal joins us to break down the latest from the high court. The MAGA Attack on voting rights faces a crucial setback as a federal judge intervenes to stop states from using software developed by immigration enforcement to review their voter rolls, which voting rights groups say would have resulted in unconstitutional voter purges. The family of Kohen Wiley, the one-year-old black boy shot and killed by police in a Walmart parking lot in Mississippi has announced funeral services will be held this coming weekend. The announcement comes as civil rights attorney Ben Crump demands video evidence in the case and has ordered an independent autopsy of the boy. The Senate passed a new, bi-partisan housing bill which makes it easier to construct new homes and helps ensure they can be purchased by families, not corporations. With the legislation now headed to the House of Representatives, the president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers will join us to analyze what impact these measures could have for black homeowners nationwide. In Ohio, a police officer has been placed on leave after bystander and body camera video show him kneeling on top of a 15-year-old girl following an altercation at a Juneteenth Festival last weekend. We'll show you that video and let you decide for yourself. And in the latest installment of Crazy Ass White People -- a black man and his family tried to go fishing in Florida last weekend, only to have a white couple show up, demand they move and then start calling them the n-word. Wait until you see this video. Black Star Network Partner: ChapterChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

With a new state government fiscal year set to commence on July first, North Carolina state legislators have still yet to pass a budget for the year that's coming to an end on June 30th. We're the only state in the union in which this is the case. While the state has continued to function at a basic level, the lack of funding certainty, and even minimal raises for teachers and other state employees, has caused enormous hardship. Meanwhile, even as the budget and the negotiations around it remain shrouded in secrecy, other important proposals – including more changes to how the state conducts elections – continue to advance. This past week, Newsline caught up with Wake County state Senator Lisa Grafstein to learn what Republican legislative leaders are telling rank and file members, and why from her perspective, average North Carolinians should be deeply concerned. We also discussed legislation that would place new burdens on local government by capping property taxes and limiting their options for dealing with homeless populations, and yet another new effort to alter coastal policy without first hearing from and listening to the science experts. Click here to listen to the full interview with Senator Lisa Grafstein.

I can't miss this opportunity."Es: A pesar del frío que se sentía cada vez más cortante, el salón comunitario desbordaba de energía cívica.En: Despite the cold that felt increasingly biting, the community hall overflowed with civic energy.Es: La gente charlaba animadamente y se escuchaban risas aquí y allá, mientras niños corrían con banderitas entre la multitud.En: People chatted animatedly, and laughter could be heard here and there, while children ran with little flags among the crowd.Es: Sin embargo, para Lucía, el ambiente era apenas un murmullo distante.En: However, for Lucía, the environment was scarcely more than a distant murmur.Es: Cada vez que su cuerpo protestaba con una punzada de dolor, apretaba los dientes y fijaba su atención en la urna que la esperaba al final de la fila.En: Each time her body protested with a stab of pain, she gritted her teeth and fixed her attention on the ballot box waiting for her at the end of the line.Es: De repente, Ramón, un médico que trabajaba como voluntario, se acercó a ellos.En: Suddenly, Ramón, a doctor volunteering there, approached them.Es: Había pasado por la fila observando a cada persona con ojo clínico, asegurándose de que todos estuvieran bien.En: He had been walking along the line, observing each person with a clinical eye, making sure everyone was okay.Es: Al notar el estado de Lucía, se alarmó inmediatamente.En: Noticing Lucía's state, he was immediately alarmed.Es: "Señora, necesita atención médica", le dijo Ramón con seriedad.En: "Ma'am, you need medical attention," Ramón said seriously.Es: "Por favor, acompáñeme."En: "Please, come with me."Es: Lucía vaciló.En: Lucía hesitated.Es: Ella sabía que Ramón tenía razón, pero su deber como ciudadana pesaba mucho en su corazón.En: She knew Ramón was right, but her duty as a citizen weighed heavily on her heart.Es: Javier la miró con súplica en los ojos.En: Javier looked at her with pleading eyes.Es: "Por favor, escucha a Ramón."En: "Please, listen to Ramón."Es: Pensativa, Lucía siguió avanzando lentamente en la fila, ignorando el creciente malestar.En: Thoughtful, Lucía continued advancing slowly in line, ignoring the growing discomfort.Es: Sin embargo, justo cuando estaba a punto de llegar a la mesa de votación, sintió que el mundo se desvanecía.En: However, just as she was about to reach the voting table, she felt the world fade away.Es: En un instante, su visión se nubló y cayó al suelo.En: In an instant, her vision blurred and she fell to the ground.Es: El caos se desató en el centro de votación.En: Chaos erupted in the voting center.Es: La gente gritaba y los voluntarios pedían espacio para que Ramón pudiera acercarse.En: People shouted, and the volunteers called for space so Ramón could approach.Es: Con calma y experiencia, Ramón revisó rápidamente a Lucía, estabilizándola.En: With calm and experience, Ramón quickly checked on Lucía, stabilizing her.Es: "Necesitamos una ambulancia.En: "We need an ambulance.Es: Rápido".En: Quickly."Es: La preocupación en el rostro de Javier se transformó en alivio al ver que Ramón sabía qué hacer.En: The concern on Javier's face turned to relief upon seeing that Ramón knew what to do.Es: La ambulancia llegó pronto, y Lucía fue llevada al hospital más cercano.En: The ambulance arrived soon, and Lucía was taken to the nearest hospital.Es: Camino al hospital, Lucía pensó en su misión no cumplida, pero Ramón la tranquilizó.En: On the way to the hospital, Lucía thought about her unfulfilled mission, but Ramón reassured her.Es: "Puedes votar desde el hospital.En: "You can vote from the hospital.Es: No te preocupes, lo importante ahora eres tú."En: Don't worry, what's important now is you."Es: En la sala de emergencia, mientras recibía tratamiento, Lucía reflexionó.En: In the emergency room, while receiving treatment, Lucía reflected.Es: Había querido cumplir con su deber, pero se dio cuenta de que escuchar a su cuerpo era igual de importante.En: She had wanted to fulfill her duty, but she realized that listening to her body was equally important.Es: Ya más tranquila, se alegró cuando pudo llenar una papeleta desde su cama, logrando así cumplir con su voto.En: Feeling calmer, she was delighted when she could fill out a ballot from her bed, thus achieving her vote.Es: Desde ese día, Lucía prometió cuidar de su salud con la misma dedicación que le daba a sus deberes cívicos.En: From that day on, Lucía promised to take care of her health with the same dedication she gave to her civic duties.Es: Y así, en un frío Día de la Bandera, en lugar de sólo cumplir con una obligación, aprendió una valiosa lección sobre el equilibrio entre el deber y el bienestar personal.En: And so, on a cold Día de la Bandera, instead of just fulfilling an obligation, she learned a valuable lesson about balancing duty with personal well-being.

Rachel Maddow lists the goals Donald Trump set for the war he started with Iran, from regime change to obliterating Iran's nuclear capacity, none of which have been met as Trump announces an agreement that reportedly will at least re-open the Strait of Hormuz, though apparently with some fees attached. MS NOW's Ayman Mohyeldin joins to discuss. Rachel Maddow tells the story of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which would be the biggest U.S. border crossing in Candana and one of the most important routes for trade in the entire world, except that Donald Trump refuses to open it. And it so happens that the family that owns a competing bridge gave a large amount of money to Trump's super PAC. And Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket, joins to discuss what American voters can do to protect the upcoming election from Donald Trump's interference. Want more of Rachel?

This week we're breaking down how extreme the attacks on voting rights and election interference have gotten, and the case studies that prove it's not slowing down. Host Angela Rye sits down with students from North Carolina A&T, the nation's largest HBCU, who are leading the fight to restore on-campus early voting after Guilford County and the NC State Election Board pulled the site ahead of the 2026 General Election. Board Member Prentiss Haney from the Ohio Organizing Collaborative joins us to talk about the organization's recent FBI raid and what it signals about the targeting of organizers on the ground. Plus, Liban Mohamed, who is running for Congress in Utah, breaks down how the state is trying to build a case against him for violating Utah code 20A-3a-208 for assisting someone at the polls, despite him not being anywhere near the voting polls on voting day.

“If you are stripped of representation ... your worth is not being recognized. It's another form of erasure.”

No one actually calls Maryland "the middle" of America, but both geographically and politically, it sits right in the thick of a high-stakes tug-of-war. Being positioned directly in the shadow of Washington, D.C., means federal politics doesn't just influence the state—it directly reshapes it. On today's episode of We Vote Too, we look at the social commentary and political forces that drive people to vote or keep them from the polls. We're joined by political strategist Karen Darkes, Executive Director of the Maryland Democratic Party, right in the middle of a major primary season and fresh off the party's Fight Back Gala. We dive deep into the psychology of the modern voter, exploring how the party targets voters in a traditionally blue state where an increasing number of people are ditching party lines to register as independent or unaffiliated. Karen breaks down the strategy gaps on the ground, what this shifting electorate means for the future of Governor Wes Moore's upcoming re-election, and whether political campaigns are actually using social media correctly or just screaming into the digital void.Episode Timestamps:0:05 - Disclaimer0:25 - Episode Intro0:57 - Intro Music1:17 - Monologue: The State of Voting Rights in America11:49 - Interview: The Inner Workings of the MD Democratic Party16:52 - Interview: Voter Strategy & Targeting in a Blue State21:55 - Interview: The Rise of Unaffiliated & Independent Voters26:58 - Interview: Looking Ahead to Governor Wes Moore's Re-election32:01 - Interview: How Politicians are Utilizing Social Media35:04 - Outro

Women are now saying on camera that they are okay if women lose the right to vote. They trust their man to do what is right for them (bahaha) and their family. My point is, then just let your husband's vote represent the both of you and stay home but don't the rest of women in this country that we don't need to vote either.

6.12.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Black Trucker Sues Sheriff. Trump Name Removed From Kennedy Center. FBI Targets Voting Rights Group_ For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland *Paid Partnership*_ A Black truck driver is suing a North Carolina sheriff's department for $20 million after an unprovoked attack in a courthouse. Civil Rights attorney Harry Daniels is here to explain what happened to his client, who was trying to appear in court. Trump's name is coming off the Kennedy Center as we speak. A federal judge denied a last-minute request to keep the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief's name on the building. The proposed data center project at Fisk University is facing growing resistance from community members and HBCU alums, especially from Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones. He'll be here to explain why. Trump's FBI is targeting the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, a civil rights organization that works to register voters and advocates for criminal and economic justice reform. Challenging financial conditions are causing Charleston, South Carolina's International African American Museum to furlough all its staff, including leadership. We'll talk to the museum's president about how intermittent closures will affect programming.

In this timely episode of "Hip Hop Can Save America!," Dr. Adia Winfrey dives deep into the chaos and injustice surrounding Alabama's recent redistricting battles. The founder of H.Y.P.E. Hip Hop Therapy and Transform Alabama breaks down how political maneuvers and Supreme Court decisions have affected Black voters and the broader fight for democracy. “Alabama is about 27% black. So you would think that a congressional map would represent such...but it didn't do that,” she explains, highlighting the real-world consequences of these legal battles. Dr. Winfrey offers a front-row perspective on how grassroots organizers are using Hip Hop culture to inspire both dialogue and action at the community level. She reveals the power that music and culture have to ignite civic participation: “We use Hip Hop as a way to bring people together...when we draw people out, we just have conversations with people. Because everything is political, whatever you want to talk about, it goes back to some elected official doing something that impacted that." If you want unfiltered insights into how Hip Hop is mobilizing voters and shining a light on the future of democracy in the South, you won't want to miss this powerful conversation. https://www.transformalabama.org https://www.instagram.com/transformalabama---If you're looking for Hip Hop news with context, history, and care, you're in the right place.
