13 OCT 2026 · 9.25.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: NJ Election Shakeup. Trump DOJ Ends Desegregation Oversight. SCOTUS Backs Voter Verification New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill didn't just lose a Lieutenant Governor when Dr. Dale Caldwell resigned today; she also lost a Secretary of State. We'll show you who's now in charge of the state's elections coming up in 38 days. Trump's Justice Department ended its watchdog role in more than 50 cases enforcing racial desegregation in schools, mostly in the Deep South. Another way this racist administration is overhauling civil rights enforcement in America. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trump's push to enforce voter verification. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called out her colleagues for their "misused" power. The Senate is gearing up to vote on the Protect College Sports Act on Monday. However, opponents are still fighting to kill the bill. The former executive director of the NFL Players Association will join us to talk about why we need to stop this bill for college athletes. We'll also show you a conversation I had with former NFL player and 1980 Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers about his opposition to the Protect College Sports Act. Georgia's youngest mayor, Jayden Williams, will be here to talk about his removal from office after serving less than a year.

10 OCT 2026 · 10.9.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Vs. Lisa Cook & Somalis. Ossoff Hits MAGA Rival Over White Nationalist Ties. Black Atty Vs. DA The twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump, continues to attack people of color.
He has established a committee to investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, based on allegations that she made false statements regarding "one or more mortgage instruments." We will also discuss his ongoing attacks on the Somali community, urging Minnesotans to "fight back" against it. Many Black candidates struggle to get the same financial support from the political establishment because those in power often don't believe investing in them will pay off. Tonight, we will talk about the importance of creating a level playing field for Black candidates. Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff confronted his MAGA opponent, Congressman Mike Collins, about his ties to white nationalists during Thursday's debate. We will also speak with the Black criminal defense attorney challenging East Baton Rouge Parish's District Attorney, who hasn't faced an opponent in 20 years. And we'll show you Rev. Jesse Jackson's 2018 speech from the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Black Star Network Partner: Chapter
