Today on Media Miss Minute, a D.C. appeals court rules the city's ban on certain gun magazines
0:05
is unconstitutional. Plus, thousands of Californians experiencing homelessness could soon lose their health insurance through Medicaid

Hi, I'm Simone Del Rosario, today with two stories largely ignored by partisan media outlets
0:21
Starting with the left, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals rules the city's ban on gun
0:25
magazines holding more than 10 rounds is unconstitutional. The court acknowledged the
0:30
devastating toll of shootings, writing, quote, we are not blind to the blight of gun violence in
0:35
this country. But the judges said large capacity magazines are, quote, arms in common and ubiquitous
0:40
use, which means they're protected by the Second Amendment and that there is no historical tradition
0:46
of banning them. Now to what the right is missing. State officials estimate 180,000 people
0:52
experiencing homelessness in California could lose health coverage under the Trump administration's
0:57
new Medicaid eligibility rules. Starting in 2027, able-bodied adults under 65 without children
1:04
will have to work at least 80 hours a month to keep their coverage and re-verify their eligibility
1:09
every six months. Advocates say those requirements could be difficult for people experiencing
1:15
homelessness, many of whom lack access to the digital tools needed to apply for jobs
1:19
or basic resources that make holding a job possible. For more stories missed or minimized by partisan media
