On today's episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton discusses the lack of a seasonal pause from President Trump and his administration as they push an extreme agenda at home and abroad. The administration is making new claims about the deadly attack on National Guardsmen in the capital just before the holiday and is advocating for strict immigration restrictions targeting individuals from “third-world countries.”

Additionally, the President's escalating tensions with Venezuela are raising concerns among some Republican lawmakers, who have questions for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding his role in the killings of crew members involved in alleged drug smuggling in the Caribbean. Political divisions are nearing a breaking point during a season that should focus on goodwill. To listen to the shows in this feed and other MS podcasts without ads,

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.
