Trade What's Next_The legal team for Karmelo Anthony filed two motions today -- including one requesting a new trial. We'll break down the filings with attorney A. Scott Bolden.  A new lawsuit alleges county and school officials failed to intervene in the case of a 7-year-old Black girl in Long Island who suffered severe abuse and neglect.  The family of Nolan Wells, who died over the July 4th weekend in Mississippi, has retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump to investigate the case. Remember the seven black Mississippi families who are suing after their children were unlawfully strip-searched?  We talk to the attorney who is representing them.  A federal judge shoots down the Trump Administration's attempt to obtain the names of all Fulton County, Georgia, election workers in 2020. And in our Shop Black Star Network Marketplace, we'll be joined by the CEO of the first Black-owned golf equipment company ever to have its golf balls meet US Golf Association standards.  Black Star Network Partner: ChapterChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

The Trump administration continues to block discrimination cases from moving forward as part of its war on black America. A racist MAGA commentator questioned the contributions of Black women in American history.  I have a little Black history lesson.  And a white North Carolina pastor is getting applause and criticism for his sermon rejecting Christian Nationalism.

Trade What's Next_Washington, D.C., is experiencing a "summer surge" of National Guard and federal law enforcement in preparation for the nation's 250th Independence Day celebrations.  We'll speak with an activist who argues that these aggressive enforcement efforts are causing more harm than good. A new report from the ACLU reveals that law enforcement agencies in areas that were previously under Justice Department oversight continue to engage in the same problematic behaviors that led to federal scrutiny in the first place.  The lead author of the report will join us to discuss these findings. The economy added far fewer jobs than expected last month, while unemployment rates among Black men and women showed a slight decline.  Economist Morgan Harper will explain whether this trend is a positive development. Poor white MAGA supporters are realizing that the Trump Administration has misled them.  Antiracism educator Tim Wise will break down why they continue to support a regime that does not have their best interests at heart.  And a white Republican Pennsylvania State Representative claims that the Black House Speaker ejected him from the chamber.  Joanna McClinton will be here to share her perspective on the situation.
