2.3.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Pushes Election Takeover. Dems Demand Noem Firing. Colin Allred Claps Back at Talarico.

Donald Trump is back at it -- calling on Republicans to 'take over' and 'nationalize' our elections as the 2026 midterms loom. With every House seat and 35 Senate seats on the line, history shows the stakes couldn't be higher -- and Trump's warning? Win the midterms, or face impeachment. We'll break this down next with the Executive Director of Black Voters Matter

And speaking of attacks on our democracy from Donald "The Con" Trump, Fulton County, Georgia, is fighting back. After an FBI raid on the county's elections office, officials are suing over the legality of the warrant and the seizure of election records.

Today outside of ICE Headquarters in Washington, D.C, Democratic Caucus members  demanded the firing of the Department of Homeland and Security Secretary. More on that ahead.

Former U.S Representative Colin Allred responds after Texas Senate candidate James Talarico allegedly made racially charged remarks about him in a private conversation. Talarico denies the claims, but Allred has now clapped back. I'll speak with the former Congressman later about his reaction.

Black workers are facing higher unemployment than the workforce overall -- a gap that's widened recently due to major policy changes. Later, we'll break down a report with a Senior Policy Analyst from the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

After the fatal shooting of Keith Porter by an off-duty ICE agent, his family is demanding an investigation and they want answers. I'll talk to his families attorney about the investigation.

Lastly, we'll meet Tracey McGhee, the founder of Ms. Jetsetter. She's turned her love of travel into a thriving business, creating stylish and functional travel accessories for jetsetters on the go

1.28.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: FBI Probes Georgia Election Office. GOP Cuts HBCU Voting. Judge Blocks Va. Map. AOC Takes on CVS.

The FBI has searched a Georgia election office for evidence to support former President Trump's false claims that his 2020 election defeat was due to widespread voting fraud.

In North Carolina, Republicans have reduced the number of voting sites at the nation's largest historically Black college and university, prompting students to file a lawsuit.

In Virginia, a judge has blocked lawmakers' pro-Democratic voting map. We'll also bring you the results of a new poll revealing what issues matter most to Virginians.

It seems that local and state police agencies are on a collision course with ICE agents. The President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives will explain the complexities of this power struggle.

New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called out CVS Health's corporate strategy to monopolize patient care.

And a white city councilman in Florida is facing backlash for how he addressed white supremacy. Many people focused on his choice of words in the example and overlooked his core message, prompting calls for his resignation.
