Covid cases are rising, spiking huge daily numbers across the country. And the CDC director went on morning new programs today to say the decision to cut isolation days in half wasn't solely based on science. We'll have a microbiologist to break down what that actually means.

A Rhode Island Republican lawmaker didn't think before posting on Twitter that she lost a black friend because of her stance on Critical Race Theory. State Representative Patricia Morgan had no idea the fury she unleashed when she decided to talk about her relationship with fellow Senator Tiara Mack, who says she's never met the woman.

A 13-year-old Florida boy riding a dirt bike dies after an attempted traffic stop. Now his family wants to know why the police decided to chase the kid to his death.

12.28.2021 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Voting Rights Laws in limbo, 10 Senate Races to Watch, Covid Nurse Shortage, Gabbybows Teen CEO

Vice President Kamala Harris believes that U.S. democracy's status as a "role model" is at risk if the voting rights laws are not passed.

Currently, Democrats are holding on to a narrow Senate majority. But in 2022, Republicans seek to get back into power after a series of crushing defeats. We'll take a look at the 10 Senate races that will decide which party will tip the scale.

Missouri Representative Cori Bush wants to celebrate the anniversary of the January 6 attack by expelling members of Congress who were involved.

Two deaths in police custody have families in Indiana and Kansas searching for answers.

Plus, a white man who admitted to driving into a crowd of Black Lives Matter Protestors will not serve any jail time because he completed a pre-trial diversion program.

As Covid sends more kids to the hospitals, the stress becomes more challenging to keep nurses. If it weren't for the pay, traveling nurses would be hard to come by.  We'll talk to a nurse practitioner who will explain why the current healthcare system is 'unsustainable' as COVID infections surge again.

And we'll talk to the the15-year-old CEO of Gabby-bows in our Marketplace segment sponsored by Verizon. This teen entrepreneur recently opened up her own salon in Columbia, South Carolina.

Senate Democrats are busy trying to find a way to pass legislation before the new year.

It's Monday, December 2021, and here's what's coming Up on Roland Martin Unfiltered streaming live on the Black Star Network.

The Omicron variant is spreading faster and causing more breakthrough cases. D.C. is re-instated mask and vaccination mandates. Tonight, we're talking all things Covid with two doctors to give you the information you need to stay safe and healthy.

The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is facing more discrimination lawsuits. This is the third in the last four months where two Black women allege retaliation for speaking out against racism and misconduct by White officers. There are here with their attorney.

The fate of the former Minnesota officer who killed Daunte Wright is in the hands of the jury. We'll take a look at closing arguments as we remain on verdict watch.

Just as we are waiting for voting reform laws, thousands are waiting on the Equal Act. The legislation addresses how Black and brown people received harsher sentences due to the differences between crack and powder cocaine offenses. You'll meet one man who served a mandatory minimum and hear what he's doing to make a difference.

The Grandmother of Juneteenth was honored over the weekend.

And it's that time of year where we all start to think about those New Years Resolutions. We'll have a fitness expert tell us how to make attainable and sustainable goals in the new year.
