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.
