2.9.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Judge Orders Fulton Ballot Docs Unsealed. NC Voting Blocked. Trump Melts Down. MAGA Loses It A federal judge says the Justice Department has until 5p Tuesday to unseal documents related to the seizure of election ballots from Fulton County, Georgia. I'll speak with a Fulton County commissioner about what he's calling a "major win for transparency and accountability." In North Carolina, a federal judge ruled against student efforts to open early-voting sites at three university campuses, including North Carolina A&T. Trump got really triggered when a reporter tried to compare him to Joe Biden, not knowing about the actions taken in his name - Trump's the racist video and Biden's auto-signature. That's a meltdown you don't want to miss. A white Montana pastor calls out evangelicals for following the convict-in-chief. Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show really pissed MAGA off - mostly because he didn't sing a single lyric in English, and probably because they could not comprehend the symbolism. I"ll break off of that down.

Tonight, as we head into the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, the America Dr. King warned us about is on full display. Minnesota is currently under fire. Secretary Kristi Noem defends ICE as they intimidate residents. Immigration Attorney Yesenia Planco will join later with advice on what to do if stopped by ICE. And, speaking of ICE.

We'll be covering it all. Trump's second term is already producing more chaos and corruption than the first, and the damage is compounding fast. The Center for American Progress is tracking it all with its new Trump Global Weakness Watch--and the senior vice president joins us to break it down. And, to add more injury, the Trump administration is laying off employees who are part of a civil rights agency founded in the 1960s with the U.S Department of Justice.
