    Nov 26 2025
    Tonight, on Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton discusses the self-described "President of Peace," who appears to be escalating tensions by giving Ukraine until Thanksgiving to accept his peace deal or risk proceeding alone against Russia. The White House is also ramping up efforts to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, with increased military actions and strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. At home, President Trump faces defections from loyal MAGA supporters over the Epstein files, as public confidence in his economy wanes. Is he seeking distractions by sounding the war drums he promised to silence? We’ll address this tonight.

    Nov 2 2025
    Tonight, on 'Politics Nation', host Reverend Al Sharpton highlights that only three days remain until a major off-year election night, where voters face crucial choices and leaders provide insights. A federal judge has mandated the Trump administration to continue essential nutritional aid for 42 million low-income Americans amid the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 31st day. It’s unclear whether President Trump will comply, as he references conflicting court decisions. He seems reluctant to negotiate with Democrats to reopen the government and is instead urging Senate Republicans to abolish the filibuster, while encouraging House members to take a prolonged recess. Remember, early voting is currently underway nationwide. To listen to the shows in this feed and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

    The Day After
    Oct 20 2025
    On today’s Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses over 7 million who joined nationwide 'No Kings' protests yesterday. Tonight, live from Chicago, organizers say a quarter-million marched against a Trump agenda that has made the city the center of his authoritarian push. While the 'No Kings' protest was peaceful, a separate protest at an ICE facility resulted in multiple arrests for the second day, as Trump asked the Supreme Court to allow sending National Guard troops to Chicago. Sharpton will speak with Congressman Jonathan Jackson about the weekend's events and hear from a Catholic priest who tried to give communion to detainees at the Broadview facility.
