Trump's DOJ sent a warning to state officials in all 50 states and the District of Columbia that they could face criminal prosecution over noncitizen voting and will send election monitors to 15 jurisdictions in six states during the 2026 primary season.
We'll examine a new, comprehensive, multiracial study of the disaffected electorate that shows they are reachable. We'll talk to one of the lead researchers about the findings.
Civil Rights Attorney Harry Daniels is here to talk about two cases:
A Black North Carolina woman is suing a Gaston County Police Department officer and an Advanced Auto Parts employee for a wrongful arrest that left her jobless and homeless.
And a Black Delaware family wants the body cam video released of the police shooting of 19-year-old Kadir Skinner, who was shot in the back.
The stepmother of one of the white teens who was with Nolan Wells before he disappeared explains why she deactivated her social media.

And we'll replay my conversation with Virginia's first black House Speaker, Don Scott, when we attended the Virginia Democrats' 2026 Blue Commonwealth Gala
