    Minnesota Not Nice
    Dec 7 2025
    On today's Politics Nation, Rev. Al Sharpton discusses President Trump's recent targeting of Minnesota's Somali community. Residents say Minneapolis neighborhoods are unusually quiet as some fear federal crackdowns after Trump called the Somali population 'garbage' following a deadly shooting in Washington D-C, allegedly by an Afghan immigrant with no Somali ties. The White House appears uninterested in facts, focusing instead on justifying an attack on Americans' civil liberties.

    A Holiday Season On Edge
    Dec 1 2025
    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.
