    Under Pressure
    May 14 2025
    On tonight's episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses President Trump's upcoming historic trip to the Middle East, but his second-term priorities are at risk. Resistance to his mass deportations is increasing, evidenced by the arrest of a democratically elected mayor. His budget bill is stuck in Congress, with members of his own party in dispute. Additionally, Trump's reputation as a dealmaker is being tested as agreements on tariffs and ceasefires remain elusive. Time is running out for him to advance his agenda before the upcoming midterm elections that could reshape his presidency.

    An outrageous arrest
    May 11 2025
    In today's episode of Politics Nation Newark, masked federal agents arrested Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka yesterday outside a migrant detention center. He was participating in a demonstration alongside several New Jersey House Democrats, calling for a tour of the facility. Tensions rose when Baraka was denied entry, resulting in clashes between ICE agents and protesters. The Trump administration defended the arrest, with border czar Tom Homan warning of further arrests for public officials who interfere with their immigration enforcement efforts. This has prompted outrage in the civil rights community, as they view it as a troubling escalation aimed at suppressing political opposition to mass deportation policies.

    The Next 100 Days
    May 5 2025
    In this episode of Politics Nation, The Reverend Al Sharpton addresses President Trump's return to Washington this week, where he encounters major challenges. Congressional Republicans are pushing a major spending bill that aligns with Trump’s priorities, including border security, energy, and tax cuts for the wealthy. This plan, which cuts funding for clean water projects and heating assistance for low-income individuals while increasing defense spending to a trillion dollars, is meeting some resistance due to its perceived disregard for pressing social needs. As Congress debates these issues, the American public and Wall Street are bracing for the economic impact of upcoming tariffs, particularly in the farming sector, which warns of a potential crisis. Meanwhile, Trump’s deportation policies are sparking conflict with the courts, as the administration threatens judges and defies court orders related to migrants' rights. All of this is taking place as we anticipate the next phases of Trump’s second term.
