00:00Today, on Media Miss Minute, a D.C. appeals court rules the city's ban on certain gun magazines
00:05is unconstitutional. Plus, thousands of Californians experiencing homelessness
00:10could soon lose their health insurance through Medicaid.
00:15Hi, I'm Simone Del Rosario, today with two stories largely ignored by partisan media outlets.
00:20Starting with the left, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals rules the city's ban on gun
00:25magazines holding more than 10 rounds is unconstitutional. The court acknowledged the
00:30devastating toll of shootings, writing, quote, we are not blind to the blight of gun violence in this
00:35country. But the judges said large capacity magazines are, quote, arms in common and ubiquitous
00:41use, which means they're protected by the Second Amendment, and that there is no historical
00:45tradition of banning them. Now to what the right is missing. State officials estimate 180,000 people
00:52experiencing homelessness in California could lose health coverage under the Trump administration's
00:57new Medicaid eligibility rules. Starting in 2027, able-bodied adults under 65 without children
01:04will have to work at least 80 hours a month to keep their coverage and re-verify their eligibility
01:09every six months. Advocates say those requirements could be difficult for people experiencing homelessness,
01:16many of whom lack access to the digital tools needed to apply for jobs or basic resources that make
01:21holding a job possible. For more stories missed or minimized bipartisan media, download the Straight
