Fox News host Jesse Watters accused Atlanta Pastor Jamal Bryant of racism for statements the pastor made about Black Trump supporters. Specifically, Black Trump supporters who threatened the pastor’s life (or at least his bodily freedom) at a White House event. NLP hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum clap back.

Why Cuts to Medicaid & SNAP Will DEVASTATE America. Should Dems Skip the SOTU?

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum brace for the long night (shout out GOT fans).

House Republicans passed a budget framework that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits, plus huge tax breaks for the wealthy. Trump is literally going to war with the poor. It’s not hyperbole to say that millions of American lives are at risk.

Meanwhile, big shakeups at MSNBC mean there is even less representation in cable news these days. We grieve the loss of Joy Reid’s show, The ReidOut, and ask: would boycotting cable news be more harmful or helpful?

Should Democrats show up to Trump’s State of the Union address? With Trump dismantling our democracy and the GOP pushing for devastating cuts to the social safety net, attending this yearly ceremony may just be a bad look.

Lastly: WE WON!! Our first NAACP Image Award is in the bag, we won in the outstanding news & information podcast category. It’s all thanks to you, our NLP fam. THANK YOU!!!

Trump fires top Black general and installs unqualified loyalists to key positions. The end of DEI and the myth of meritocracy.

Four-Star General CQ Brown Jr. was the top military officer, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, until he was fired last Friday by president Trump via a social media post. Apparently Brown was too “woke” for the Trump admin–and he just so happens to be Black.

THREE-Star LIEUTENANT General Dan Caine has been promoted as Brown’s replacement. Now, why is a less qualified (and retired) general being tapped to replace General Brown in this prestigious position? It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he’s white, could it?

Using examples, like the recent promotion of MAGA podcaster Dan Bongino, Angela Rye exposes the hypocrisy of MAGA when they promote the end of DEI as the return of “meritocracy.” There will be serious consequences to promoting unqualified individuals to positions of power.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley on Reparations and Democratic Party Strategy.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley does not mince words; if you are not a part of the resistance then you are a part of the problem. In this interview with hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum, this progressive Democrat outlines her frustrations with her own party and what she believes that fight against Musk and Trump should look like.

Part of the fight is not giving up on the Black agenda! Amidst this assault on DEI, Congresswoman Pressley and some of her colleagues have put forward a national reparations bill. Read more about H.R. 40 here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/40

With all the litigation attempting to stop Trump, Musk and DOGE–this week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: do these court cases even matter?

We like to think that there are three co-equal branches of government, the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. But ith one of his latest executive orders, Trump has made it clear that he believes his word is the law. So even if the Supreme Court rules against him, will he respect that ruling?

Elon Musk says that DOGE is going to hand out $5,000 checks to taxpayers after they make huge cuts to the federal government. Is this how Republicans win the messaging war, by cutting us a check while they sell our government for parts?

NLP Hosts CLAP BACK to Kendrick Super Bowl Haters

Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: how is it that some Black folk become so heinously anti-Black?

We saw it on full display after Kendrick’s halftime show, when a clip went viral of this dude talking about how lame the show was for his white friends… OK. Is this just for attention? Is he a Drake fan? What explains this??
